While electric vehicles are getting more versatile and more realistic daily driver propositions by the year as manufacturers continually develop them, used examples that have seen their value drop considerably are generally still best suited for the city. Their limited ranges aren’t such a handicap when you’re spending most of your time threading between traffic and through tight city streets, while trips tend to last only ten or twenty miles as opposed to north of 200. Their instant torque and lack of a conventional gearbox also make driving in cities more straightforward and less frustrating than a normal car most…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. Asian and European equities climbed on Monday, while U.S. equity futures jumped and Brent crude fell, as signs of a possible U.S.-Iran deal boosted risk appetite. To note, the U.S. is on holiday. Both sides appear to be moving closer to ending the three-month conflict and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. However, overnight comments from senior Iranian officials suggest gaps remain, particularly over the future of Iran’s nuclear program and uranium enrichment. “It is true that a consensus was reached on many of the topics discussed, but no one can…
A deadly shooting involving military police officers at Fort Hood over Memorial Day weekend has triggered a major Army criminal investigation and renewed scrutiny over security, use of force, and violence at one of the military’s most historically troubled installations. The shooting occurred on the night of Saturday, May 23, at the Belton Lake Outdoor Recreation Area (BLORA) near Fort Hood in Texas. According to the Army, two military police officers responded around 9 p.m. after reports of a large fight broke out at the recreation area during a crowded gathering. Officials said multiple gunshots were fired during the confrontation.…
A LEGO fan took to social media to show off an impressive build of a Big Daddy from the BioShock series, which they made following a MOC from another builder. The LEGO BioShock creator also made a mini-figure of Jack, the main protagonist from the first game, to go alongside the Big Daddy figure they created. In short, a MOC build stands for “My Own Creation,” a term for LEGO builds made without following a specific blueprint or plan. MOC builds allow LEGO fans to craft some builds using pieces from multiple sets and putting them together to create a…
Of all the iconic IPs out there, it’s surprising how up and down the popularity of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings has been. There is the incomparable movie trilogy directed by Peter Jackson, the decent but overstuffed Hobbit movie trilogy, and The Rings of Power TV show, which gets more hate than it deserves. Then there are the video games based on The Lord of the Rings, which are also a mixed bag. While The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is the most recent disaster, there are still plenty of great Lord of the Rings games to play…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Monday that any agreement with Iran should include a requirement for several additional countries, including Saudi Arabia and Turkey, to join the Abraham Accords, the U.S.-brokered agreements from Trump’s first term aimed at normalizing relations with Israel. In a social media post, Trump said negotiations are “proceeding nicely” but tied any eventual agreement to expanded participation in the 2020 accords. He pointed to Saudi Arabia and Qatar as countries that should “immediately” sign on, quickly followed by Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and Jordan. Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates became the first countries to…
CAIRO (AP) — A deal appears to be emerging between the United States and Iran to end the war and open the Strait of Hormuz, and U.S. President Donald Trump over the weekend said it had been “largely negotiated.” It is not clear when or how the deal might be finalized and when its various parts will take effect. Trump spoke after calls with allies in the Middle East, including a separate call with Israel. Details come from two regional officials and a U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive negotiations. Here’s what we know…

The 7.7 oz Tenet Limited 30 is not chasing whisper-quiet bragging rights. It is a compact titanium suppressor built to keep magnum rifles planted, impacts visible, and backcountry hunters behind the glass when the shot breaks. Tenet Limited 30: A New Suppressor Built for Shot Control There is a new player in the suppressor world and the name to know is Tenet. The company is the brainchild of Jacob Albaugh, a diehard backcountry hunter and engineer who got tired of choosing between the recoil mitigation of a muzzle brake and the hearing protection of a suppressor. After years of R&D…

The 1858 Remington revolver brought solid-frame confidence, serious accuracy, and black powder attitude to the handgun world. More than a century later, its smoke, steel, and cartridge-conversion potential still make it one of the most appealing replica revolvers you can shoot. The 1858 Remington revolver was one of the most popular handguns of the 19th century, and today it is perhaps the most appealing replica handgun out there, thanks to its surprisingly modern lines. Today, you have your pick of an original percussion cap model, cartridge conversions, and the purpose-built Model 1875 revolver. Here is a look at the iconic…
New Orleans police have arrested four teens, three of them juveniles, for a string of carjackings in the Crescent City. According to authorities, two of the suspects, including 19-year-old Ja’Maarion Banks, were already on electronic monitoring for previous offenses when they were taken into custody this week. Banks, along with several unidentified juveniles aged 16, 14, and 14, were arrested after police developed enough evidence to secure a warrant. It sounds like the fact that they were wearing monitors may have helped police track them down, though the devices apparently didn’t have much of a…
The Taurus TX9 Sub-Compact takes the duty-pistol bones of the TX9 line and shrinks them into a 13+1 carry gun. After 300 rounds, cold-weather shooting, and three days concealed, this little 9mm made a strong case for itself. By Brian McCombie The Forgotten TX9: Taurus Shrinks Its Duty Pistol for Carry In January 2026, Taurus USA announced its new TX9 line of three striker-fired 9mm pistols, and they represented a real first for the gun maker. “They were designed from the ground up to compete for international service pistol contracts,” said Caleb Giddings, General Manager of Taurus Marketing. “It was…
ABOARD THE RFA LYME BAY (AP) — Aboard the RFA Lyme Bay docked off the coast of Gibraltar, hundreds of British sailors are waiting to be deployed for a mine-clearing mission to the Strait of Hormuz that is still in doubt. U.S. President Donald Trump has lashed out at allies for not doing more to support the United States’ war effort in Iran, whose chokehold on the strait has crippled international shipping and sent energy prices soaring. In March, Trump told NATO allies to “go get your own oil” and secure the strait themselves. On the southern tip of the…
This article was originally published by Edison Reed at Natural News. A former artificial intelligence (AI) engineer at Google DeepMind has filed a claim with a British employment tribunal alleging unfair dismissal after he protested the company’s contracts with Israel, according to The Guardian.

The employee’s claim describes the termination as discriminatory and asserts that he was acting as a whistleblower.…
Pre-packaged freeze-dried meals are convenient, but they’re also very expensive. Plus, they’re usually loaded with sodium and full of artificial ingredients. Fortunately, you don’t have to rely on them. With a home freeze dryer, you can preserve your own homemade meals. I won’t lie. A home freeze dryer is a significant investment, but once you have one, you can freeze dry anything you want, exactly the way you like it, with ingredients you trust, at a fraction of the cost. Then your favorite meals can sit in the pantry for years, waiting for the day you need them. The five…
With the drop in homicides throughout the nation, a drop that was historic in its magnitude, it’s unsurprising to see a bunch of people trying to claim their preferred policies played a role. I’m not immune to that, either, because as a pro-gun guy, I’d love to say definitively that the restoration of gun rights was the driving cause of the unprecedented drop. The problem is that we simply can’t make a blanket statement about why it happened, in part because it wasn’t just one factor, and I’m honest enough to try and stop myself…
Operation Hathor is the sort of story that sounds made up until you realize it is not. Two SAS troopers got snatched by the wrong people in Basra, and the British response involved armor, airborne surveillance, righteous fury, and all the subtlety of a bar fight with tanks. British SAS Mythos, Real Men, and the Sort of Friends You Want Nearby I’ve only known one member of the British 22d SAS well. Mike was a great bloke. He looked like a bulldog–short and stocky. Like all soldiers who operate in those rarefied spaces, he was also preternaturally calm. Not much…
