Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick has spoken on Red Dead Online, giving the multiplayer game considerable praise despite its major updates ending in 2021. Though some might have expected that Take-Two considered Red Dead Online to be a failure given its lack of attention in recent years, it seems that’s far from the case. Back in 2022, after the game had gone without major updates for a year, Red Dead Online players hosted a funeral for the title. While there have been some glimpses of hope over the years that more significant updates would arrive, especially after the Strange Tales…
Former United States ruler, Joe Biden, is suing the US government in order to block the release of interviews he had given with his ghostwriter. Biden appears to want to stop the tapes of conversations from being released to the public. 3 Glaring Problems with Joe Biden’s New Multi-Trillion COVID Package The recordings in question were obtained by special counsel Robert Hur, who was appointed to investigate whether Biden had unlawfully retained classified documents at his home after serving as vice president under Barack Obama from 2009 to 2017, according to a report by RT. Hur interviewed Biden for five…
Massive wildfires have become tragically common in the United States. But for national park lovers, the Dragon Bravo fire hurt more than most. The blaze that erupted on Grand Canyon National Park’s North Rim last summer devastated the park, burning nearly 150,000 acres and destroying over a dozen buildings, including the historic Grand Canyon Lodge. After a prolonged closure, the North Rim reopened to visitors last week. That’s good news for those planning to visit the park during summer vacation — especially hikers. The North Kaibab Trail has reopened, allowing hikers to reach the canyon’s bottom by starting from the North…
The attempted mass shooting at a San Diego mosque earlier this month has quickly faded from the headlines, at least nationally, but the local Fox affiliate is still digging into the suspects and their backgrounds and has uncovered the fact that the dad of one of the killers was the subject of a “red flag” gun seizure petition last year. According to KUSI, it wasn’t the father’s behavior that triggered the Gun Violence Restraining Order. Instead, it was concerns about his son that led Chula Vista police to file the “red flag” petition. In the emergency…
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. military contractors need at least three years to replenish stockpiles of three key weapons systems used heavily in the Iran war, according to an analysis released Wednesday, adding to concerns that American forces would have limited firepower in any future conflict with China. The weapons systems are Tomahawk cruise missiles, which are used to strike targets deep inside enemy territory, and Patriot and THAAD interceptors that defend against incoming missiles and drones. “The United States has enough munitions for any plausible scenario in the Iran war, but the depleted inventories have created a window of vulnerability…
Diane Carlson Evans is being remembered for her wartime efforts that paved the way for other females besides herself to garner national recognition. Evans, 79, of Helena, Mont., died May 20 after what was described as a long and courageous battle against cancer, according to her obituary. She was a U.S. Army nurse who volunteered to serve during the Vietnam War, ultimately leading to finding her longtime husband, starting a family, and, ultimately, initiating the Vietnam Women’s Memorial—the first of its kind in the United States, more than 30 years ago. She was born in 1946 in Buffalo, Minn., to…
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA is already ordering landers, rovers and drones for a sprawling moon base, less than two months after the Artemis II’s record-breaking lunar flyaround. The space agency outlined the first phase of its moon base plans on Tuesday, awarding hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts to four U.S. companies. Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin will provide a pair of landers to deliver moon buggies to the lunar surface, at a spot near the moon’s south pole. These so-called lunar terrain vehicles will be built by Astrolab and Lunar Outpost. Firefly Aerospace, which landed successfully on…
Graham Platner is not shy. He wants Maine Sen. Susan Collins’ long-held seat, and he thinks he’s the right candidate to reverse a decades-long Democratic losing streak. Platner, 41, is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, ex-Army infantryman and oyster farmer who served multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Representing more of a progressive ideology, he kickstarted his U.S. Senate campaign in 2025 and has since been endorsed by individuals including U.S. Sens. Bernie Sanders (VT), Elizabeth Warren (MA) and Ruben Gallego (AZ), and U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA). The campaign quickly gained traction in Maine and across the country, with…
The Army National Guard is running its first validation of an overhauled Basic Leader Course at Fort Indiantown Gap, Pa., expanding the service’s foundational school for junior noncommissioned officers from 23 days to 29. The Pennsylvania National Guard’s 166th Regiment-Regional Training Institute launched the test course on April 28, which was scheduled to wrap up by May 26. The training occurred shortly after the active-duty Army ran a separate pilot program at Fort Sill, Okla. The National Guard BLC course is expected to help shape the curriculum before the entire service fields the new program later this year. Instructors from…
There’s few names more ubiquitous than Wesson when it comes to firearms. I had a chat with Eric Wesson — the grandson of Dan Wesson — and he talks about everything Wesson. While attending the 2026 National Rifle Association Annual Meeting, Wesson stopped by to discuss family history, Dan Wesson Arms, and of course Daniel Baird Wesson — whom Eric refers to as “D.B.” This interview was made possible by Beretta Holding, the sponsor of the Voices of the Second Amendment at the NRAAM.When it comes to firearms and American history, the two are intertwined…
A Florida homeowner reportedly escaped an armed intruder by running to a neighbor’s house early Friday morning before Pinellas County deputies eventually shot and killed the suspect during a standoff inside the home. According to reporting from WFLA Tampa Bay 28 News, the incident unfolded just before 7 a.m. near Chandler Road outside Clearwater. Investigators say the suspect entered the home through the garage, where the homeowner unexpectedly encountered him while alone inside the residence. The press conference following this Florida home invasion shooting. [H/T Fox 13 Tampa Bay] That’s the kind of moment every homeowner hopes never happens. Officials…
FEMA is a somewhat controversial government agency. Some people love FEMA because they bring food and supplies after a disaster. Other people hate them because they don’t bring enough food and supplies after a disaster (or not quickly enough). Some people say FEMA is inefficient and a waste of tax money. Other people argue that they wouldn’t be so inefficient if they were properly funded. But whatever you think of FEMA, the people working there want you to be prepared. Why? Because the more prepared you are, the less you’ll rely on them for help when disaster strikes (and they…
Groups like Moms Demand Action–which sounds more like an adult film studio as opposed to a gun control group–present themselves as the American mothers’ political voice on guns and so-called gun violence. When they speak, the media often frames it as mothers calling for a particular bill to be passed. Like, say, Connecticut’s recently passed bill banning Glocks.The problem here is that they don’t speak for all mothers. A lot of mothers have very good reasons to disagree.On a bustling March day at the Capitol, Elizabeth Miller sat in front of a microphone to testify…
You know an HOA has gone too far when even people who normally ignore HOA drama suddenly start paying attention. This week, Colion Noir unloaded on a Florida homeowners association after residents in the Tradition community of Port St. Lucie received a letter announcing firearms were no longer allowed in common areas: including parks, trails, gazebos, and yes… the splash pad. Colion Noir gives his analysis of the Florida HOA gun ban. According to Noir’s breakdown, residents weren’t exactly thrilled to find out their carry rights had been quietly “updated” through a neighborhood letter instead of an actual public discussion.…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. For much of the nation, it feels like we are in a permanent economic crisis with no end in sight. I have been documenting our long-term economic decline for years, and now we have reached a point where Americans have literally never felt this bad about the state of the U.S. economy. Considering everything that we have been through over the last several decades, that is saying a lot. So, how will the American people feel if economic conditions continue to deteriorate? We might want to be…
Springfield Armory is officially doubling down on closed-emitter pistol optics. After rolling out the Springfield Armory Echelon with the Aimpoint COA earlier this year, Springfield is now bringing the same optic setup to its 1911 lineup. Including the double-stack Springfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy. These things look purpose-built for dudes who think “carry optics” should also survive the apocalypse. The new lineup includes three factory-cut pistols designed around Aimpoint’s A-CUT mounting system: All three ship from the factory with the enclosed Aimpoint COA optic already installed. That matters because pistol optics are finally entering the phase where shooters care less…
A recent question prompted some reflection on the more than 45 years of fitness training I have been doing since I was 12 or 13 years old. Someone asked about my favorite workouts. Personally, I can still train regularly and do — not because I have to, but because I get to. Having an attitude of gratitude can go a long way toward helping you create what is needed most to find workouts that work: consistency. While I have favorites, some of my best workouts were the ones that I just started and finished. Nothing fancy, just done. You will…
The 2026 Overland Expo West show in Flagstaff, Ariz., proved its worth by showcasing unique overland builds, how-to talks, and the latest and greatest in gear. From newly released adventure rigs and slide-in truck toppers to the latest rooftop tents, winches, and more, this show had it all. More than 28,500 attended this year’s show, up a tick from last year but down about 1,000 people from 2024. Vendors were down slightly this year compared to 2025 (420 versus 423), though up from 2024 (415). All 50 states were represented, and 132 total instructors and trainers facilitated a variety of…
Protecting or restoring a basic civil liberty should never be dismissed on any grounds at all, but I understand that anti-gunners tend to disagree with me on that. They argue against gun rights restoration and use all manner of studies to make their arguments that gun control increases safety. Those studies are garbage, of course, but they exist, and I’d use them if I were an anti-gunner, too. But what about using a couple of studies to fight back against a proposed law that would restore rights to a lot of people who attend or…
If you’ve been kicking yourself for only grabbing one surplus 1911 pistol from the Civilian Marksmanship Program back when prices were lower and supplies looked endless… well, CMP just gave collectors and shooters a pretty solid surprise. As of May 2025, the CMP has officially doubled the lifetime purchase limit on surplus M1911 and M1911A1 pistols from two guns to four. For anyone unfamiliar, the CMP 1911 program offers authentic U.S. military-issued 1911 pistols transferred from Army inventory. These aren’t reproductions or clone guns. They’re real-deal service pistols that were carried, rebuilt, mixed, refinished, and dragged through decades of American…
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) on Tuesday announced a new clinical trial of methylenedioxymethamphetamine-assisted therapy, more commonly known as MDMA, to evaluate the safety and efficacy when treating current and former military personnel for severe mental health disorders including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol use disorder. The latest announcement comes on the heels of a strong federal government-wide push across multiple branches to study and, ultimately, lawfully recognize different modalities like MDMA, psilocybin, LSD and ibogaine. Legislation has been crafted on bipartisan levels in both the U.S. House and Senate to accelerate the pace for which the VA,…
