DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — U.S. Central Command says its forces have disabled two more Iranian tankers that were trying to breach an American blockade. In a social media post on Friday, it says a U.S. Navy fighter jet fired into the smoke stacks of ships in the Gulf of Oman after they tried to pull into an Iranian port. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The United Arab Emirates said it responded to another Iranian missile barrage on Friday, hours after the U.S. said it traded fire…
Colorado’s wolf restoration program has signs of growth, and CPW’s newest annual report lays them out plainly. The state now has four recognized wolf packs, four known litters, and a minimum count of 32 wolves at the end of the 2025-2026 biological year. That’s the part wolf restoration supporters will point to first. Wolves are pairing, denning, and producing pups in Colorado, which is exactly what the voter-approved restoration effort was meant to start. The rest of the report is a lot less tidy. CPW also reported a 61% adult survival rate, 10 known wolf mortalities, 43 confirmed livestock depredations,…
Back in my day, prom parties were held at someone’s home, usually the kid with the cool parents who didn’t mind us drinking, or in someone’s barn where the parents could pretend they didn’t even know what was happening. We were not the most well-behaved kids, to be sure, but no one got hurt, and we all had a good time. These days, kids can get a parent to rent an Airbnb or some other short-term rental, and there is no pretense of parental supervision. It doesn’t always work out well. In the Meridian-Kessler neighborhood…
There are a lot of co-op options in open-world games, but just because the option is there, it doesn’t automatically mean the co-op experience makes the overall game better. For example, Donkey Kong Bananza is a 10/10 game, but the co-op option is not a 10/10 experience since the second player cannot do much, but it is a nice option to have. For an open-world game to have good co-op gameplay, there needs to be a better balance. Every player has to come away from the experience gaining something. The following games, including Saints Row: The Third and Elden Ring,…

Capcom has suddenly shadow-dropped DLC for Resident Evil Requiem, entitled Leon Must Die Forever. The new Resident Evil Requiem mode will give returning players something new to do, and is out now for all platforms the game is currently available on.

With Resident Evil Requiem now a couple of months…
A missing hiker was found dead on Wednesday in Glacier National Park, and officials said his injuries were consistent with a bear encounter. Search and rescue crews found the body around noon on May 6, about 2.5 miles up the Mt. Brown Trail. The victim was about 50 feet off the trail in a densely wooded area with downed timber, according to Glacier National Park. Wildlife and law enforcement personnel are now assessing the area for bear activity and any ongoing public safety concerns. The National Park Service said it was withholding the victim’s identity until 72 hours after next…
A great shooter game does not always need a huge campaign to be fun. Sometimes, the games that stay in people’s minds the longest are the ones finished in a single evening. With these short shooter games, there is less filler, fewer slow stretches, and much less time spent waiting for the next exciting moment. These are games that get moving quickly, introduce their ideas early, hand over the weapons, and allow players to start shooters almost immediately. Instead of asking players to spend hours learning complicated systems, these games put the focus where it belongs: movement, gunplay, and smart…
The best women’s climbing pants balance unrestricted stretch with rugged durability, keeping you comfortable under a harness from the gym to the crag. Bishop, California-based climber and GearJunkie contributor Miya Tsudome spent the past 12 months evaluating six new and updated models everywhere from the sharp granite of her local Eastern Sierra crags to global expeditions in Yosemite, Madagascar, and New Zealand. Drawing on years of experience with classic designs, she rigorously assessed each pair for mobility, abrasion resistance, and all-day harness compatibility. We crowned the Patagonia Caliza Rock Pants as our best overall pick for their rare mix of…
As expected, the Minneapolis City Council has unanimously adopted an ordinance banning the sale and possession of “assault weapons”, ammunition magazines that can hold more than ten rounds, binary triggers, and unserialized firearms. The ordinance is completely unenforceable because of Minnesota’s firearm preemption law, but the MN Gun Owners Caucus has vowed to “immediately initiate legal action to challenge its validity in court,” as it’s done with a similar ordinance adopted by St. Paul council members. In a letter to the Minneapolis City Council, MN Gun Owners Caucus General Counsel Rob Doar called the ordinance…
Roughly 100 military spouse entrepreneurs traveled to Capitol Hill on May 7 to advocate for the Military Spouse Small Business Recognition Act, legislation supporters believe could significantly expand military spouse access to federal business programs. The legislation would waive SBA loan guarantee fees on certain loans up to $1 million, reduce equity injection requirements for military spouse borrowers, require the SBA to track military spouse participation in lending programs, and expand access to federal contracting opportunities and mentorship programs. Advocates emphasized the bill is intended to address barriers created by military service rather than create a special entitlement. The military…
This article was originally published by Willow Tohi at Natural News. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced initiatives targeting SSRI antidepressants, which 16.6% of U.S. adults currently take. The plan emphasizes informed consent, tapering protocols, and non-pharmaceutical alternatives like psychotherapy and nutrition. Nearly half of Americans oppose federal restrictions on antidepressant prescribing, according to a 2025 survey of 30,000 adults. An FDA panel debated adding “black box” warnings for antidepressant use during pregnancy, citing potential fetal risks. The initiative builds on Trump-era mental health policies, including an executive order on psychedelic research. A prescription for change: Why HHS is…
In the aftermath of the latest attempt on the life of President Donald Trump, the anti-gun left immediately went on the offensive by saying that what’s needed are more gun control laws. Rep. Jamie Raskin, for example, said it was a sign we needed universal background checks. Others offered more nebulous suggestions of “more gun control” without any actual policy recommendations. But the thing is, the would-be assassin got all of his guns in California. You know, the state that has all of those laws everyone wants at the federal level, and then some.Over at…
Military Spouse Appreciation Day on May 8th is considered a day of thanks for military spouses across the U.S. But one company, founded by two military wives, has turned the idea of appreciating spouses of service members into an entrepreneurial mission. “I was an active-duty military spouse for 22 years until my husband retired three years ago,” said Erica McMannes, co-founder of the career placement firm, Instant Teams, in an interview with Military.com. “We moved 14 times in those 22 years, but in that time, I ended up meeting another military spouse, Liza Rodewald, and we realized there’s a need…

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea said Friday it will deploy new long-range artillery systems this year that are capable of striking South Korea’s capital region and will commission its first naval destroyer in coming weeks. The announcement comes days after South Korea said North Korea’s newly revised constitution drops all references to Korean unification, in line with leader Kim Jong Un’s vows to terminate ties with South Korea and establish a two-state system on the Korean Peninsula. Kim visited a munitions factory Wednesday to inspect the production of 155-mm self-propelled gun-howitzers to be deployed at an artillery unit…

Scott Kelly, the Army veteran whose life changed after an unexpected viral moment last November, is developing a new podcast series focused on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and veterans. Kelly never expected to be thrust into the limelight, but that all changed when Brandon Bieron, a fellow veteran he served with, was checking out Kelly’s resume on his phone in the middle of a Jonas Brothers concert. Jen Wilson, seated behind Bieron, filmed him on her phone and posted it to TikTok with the caption, “Scott Kelly, your resume was being reviewed at a Jonas Brothers concert tonight. Good luck.”…
