A federal immigration judge has granted asylum to a woman orphaned in Iran in the 1970s and adopted by an American war veteran, who immigration officials threatened earlier this year with deportation to the country with which the U.S. is now at war. Judge Andrew Fishkin’s ruling likely ends a monthslong ordeal for the California woman, one of thousands adopted from abroad who were never granted citizenship because of bureaucratic loopholes between adoption and immigration law. The woman has lived in the United States since she was adopted by American parents as a toddler and has no criminal record. The…
The right to keep and bear arms implies the right to acquire guns. It doesn’t spell it out, but how can one keep and bear something they are unable to acquire? We all know that the government isn’t going to just give us guns. The crowd that likes guns tends to oppose government handouts, and because of that disparity, we’re never going to get universal gun ownership akin to the pushes for universal healthcare. No, we have jobs, so we can buy them on our own.But what if that’s not a reasonable proposition? What if…
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israelis from across the political spectrum reacted angrily Monday to the news of an initial deal between the U.S. and Iran, calling it a disaster for Israel and directing their fury at one man: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. As of early Monday evening, Netanyahu had yet to release a statement about the deal between the U.S. and Iran that extend their tenuous ceasefire and lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. But other Israeli government officials, rivals, politicians and commentators were quick to criticize the deal, marking a sort of informal referendum on the premier’s…
United States ruler Donald Trump appears to be the only one in power who thinks the Iran deal, scheduled to be signed in a special ceremony in Switzerland on Friday, was a good deal. Israel said that Trump screwed them, while US Congressman Seth Moulton says the deal is a “lose, lose, lose” for the US. Trump’s looming Iran peace deal looks like a “surrender document” to Moulton, a democrat. He said it fails to deliver anything America did not have before the war. The insinuation is that the war was started for no reason, and Americans were forced to pay…

The U.S. Supreme Court took no action today on the five cases dealing with bans on “assault weapons” and “large capacity” magazines that it’s heard in conference more than a dozen times, but it did address another 2A-related case that was discussed in conference for the first time last week. Unfortunately, SCOTUS didn’t grant cert in National Shooting Sports Foundation v. James. Instead, without a dissenting opinion the Court denied cert to the challenge to the New York law meant to facilitate lawsuits against firearm industry members by doing an end-run around the federal Protection…
Receiving Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders is a normal part of life in the military. But it requires you to make major decisions for your family, such as whether you should buy a home using a PCS VA loan. VA loans are issued by private lenders and backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. They have unique benefits for military members, like no down payment, no private mortgage insurance (PMI), and often, more competitive interest rates. If you’re getting ready to relocate and are thinking about purchasing a house with a VA loan, it’s important to consider the…
With just a little more than two weeks before Virginia’s ban on “assault firearms” and large capacity magazines is set to take effect, there’s disagreement about how the law will be enforced if it’s not put on ice by the courts before July 1. What’s really interesting is that the disagreement isn’t just between Second Amendment advocates and their anti-gun counterparts. The lawmakers who are primarily responsible for foisting this infringement on the Commonwealth aren’t even on the same page. Sen. Sadaam Salim, D-Fairfax, who sponsored the Senate version of the bill, said the law only…
A British brand that dates back to 1924 has just revealed a new vehicle that looks like it’s been around since day one. The Morris JE is the most adorable commercial van we’ve ever seen, but there’s something very interesting going on behind that too-cute nose and pastel colors and too-cute nose. Actually, it’s what’s happening directly beneath those pastel colors that makes this in-development runabout different from others. Every Van Draws On-Road Aggression, This Is The Only Van That Causes Cute Aggression Credit: Morris Commercial The Morris Commercial JE is a retro-designed commercial van with styling based around the J-Type…
Retired U.S. Army Capt. Robert Cornicelli said that since he and his wife moved to South Carolina in 2023, he feels like he’s living and working in America’s best-kept secret.

South Carolina came out on top, named the best state for military retirees in 2026. The state scored high in 28 key metrics, ranging from the number of veterans per capita, the number of Veteran’s Administration health facilities, and the availability of job opportunities…

I’m sure we all remember the dreadlocked DEA agent going on about how he was the only one professional enough to handle his .40-caliber Glock, right before shooting himself in the leg. Police officers are trained in how to use their firearms safely, but like any group of humans, some listen, and others don’t. Mr. DEA was a prime example. However, we now have a new contender for the title of dumbest law enforcement officer’s gun handling.This one comes out of anti-gun Pasadena. California has a ton of gun control laws because regular folks like…
A Japanese sword took LT George Cairns’ arm on a Burmese hilltop. He seized that same blade, kept fighting, and earned a place among Britain’s most savage Victoria Cross legends. Mankind has been consumed with war since our very beginnings. Ever since Cain knocked his brother Abel’s brains out with a rock, we have been a species of scrappers. We venerate warriors and celebrate their wars. Along the way, we have somehow lost touch with just how ghastly real war actually is. Everybody dies. That’s obviously a given. However, that war takes young people in their prime is what makes…

The final phase of a U.S. Coast Guard initiative at Base Kodiak will inject more than $140 million in funding to construct 30 additional housing units, a child development center, and other infrastructure improvements in Alaska.
