Strength training is often considered the foundation of physical fitness, earning its reputation for supporting muscle mass, bone density and functional movement. In fact, having strong legs contributes to longevity by enabling independence through mobility and social activity in our later years. Recent scientific findings now provide even more compelling evidence to prioritize strength training as part of a holistic fitness plan. While its importance cannot be overstated, an effective exercise regimen should also incorporate flexibility, mobility and cardiovascular training to maximize overall health benefits. A recent study in the journal Biology highlights the anti-aging potential of regular strength training. Researchers analyzed data…

A coalition of pro-gun organizations, led by the National Rifle Association, has filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court requesting that it hear the constitutional challenge to Illinois’ public transit carry ban. The NRA, along with the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs, the Gun Owners Action League, the New Jersey Firearms Owners Syndicate and the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, filed the brief in Schoenthal v. Raoul, which challenges Illinois’ law that prohibits concealed carry licensees from carrying firearms on public transportation unless the firearms are unloaded and secured—effectively rendering them useless for lawful…

The Subaru WRX just got a whole lot cheaper. After a miserable year, Subaru has decided that maybe it shouldn’t have gotten rid of the base model of all of its vehicles. So the entry-spec WRX is back, bringing the price down by more than $5,000. It’s even cheaper than it was in 2024, and it comes with more standard stuff. 2025 Sales Were Brutal — This Could Fix It (Photo/Subaru) Yes, some of Subaru’s drop from 18,587 WRX sedan sales to 10,930 between 2024 and 2025 was due to production changes, but probably not all of it. This change…

The Firearms Policy Coalition isn’t exactly known for mincing words. That’s especially true on social media, where a lot of calls for gun control are met with a hardy “F**k you.” I dig it.In most of their other communications, they tend to be a little more…well, polite isn’t necessarily the right word, nor is “professional.” No, I think they just get a bit more creative in saying the same thing in a way that will make it in print.A case in point is the group’s feelings on the Department of Justice and the Trump administration’s…

The Pedersoli 1805 Baker Rifle faithfully recreates Britain’s first standard‑issue military rifle, blending historical accuracy with modern Italian craftsmanship. Why the Baker Rifle Mattered At the turn of the 19th century, European armies relied almost entirely on smoothbore muskets. Those arms emphasized rate of fire and massed volley tactics, leaving limited room for precision or selective engagement. The Baker rifle marked a shift in that thinking. Designed by London gunsmith Ezekiel Baker and adopted by the British Army in 1800, it became the first rifled firearm issued for regular military service. The rifle equipped the Experimental Corps of Riflemen, later…

Especially if your military household moved to a new state in 2025, as a military spouse, keep in mind that you’ve received new rights in recent years in terms of where to pay your state income taxes – or not pay, if the state has no income tax.In 2023, military spouses gained options for filing their state income taxes under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act that now eclipse even those of active-duty members, because “In a weird quirk of the law, service members can use SCRA protections only for their military pay,” Military.com’s financial columnist Kate Horrell wrote in last year’s Tax Week…
