For some reason, it wasn’t a bigger story, but a man was shot by the Secret Service in Washington, D.C., on Monday, just moments after Vice President J.D. Vance’s motorcade passed by. While the official line is that they don’t believe the man was intending to harm Vance or anyone else in the motorcade, the shooting still happened. And boy, is there a lot to unpack in this one.For starters, he was a convicted felon from Texas, carrying a gun illegally in the nation’s capital, and clearly not a fan of the current administration.Photos from…
When it comes to shooter franchises, Call of Duty is number one. Whether players are hardcore or casual, chances are they have played one Call of Duty, if not all of them, or continue to play one of their favorites online. While the campaigns can often be epic and the weapon handling pristine, there are other shooters, and not just first-person ones, that contain better action throughout. Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is a good third-person mech example, while a newer boomer first-person shooter like Ultrakill is breaking new boundaries. What other games are on the list? Let’s blast…
An alleged suicide note, handwritten by Jeffrey Epstein, was found by the late financier’s cellmate back in 2019. A federal judge has just released the note to the public. Epstein was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York in August 2019. His death was officially ruled a suicide, though it has continued to fuel public scrutiny and conspiracy theories because of his connections to wealthy and powerful political figures. White House Says Trump’s “Birthday Letter” To Jeffrey Epstein is “Fake News” The note was reportedly found in July 2019 by Epstein’s then-cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione.…
From full-blown thru-hikes to fast weekend missions, we’ve clocked some serious miles with the best ultralight tents. Most recently, lead tester Nick Belcaster logged 35 days across six months on the Pacific Crest Trail in Washington with a slate of four new shelters to determine our latest additions. Our top pick, the Durston X-Mid 1, is a do-it-all shelter to hike the PCT or AT. Beginners can go for a more spend-wise option like the Gossamer Gear The One. We even cover semi-freestanding options like the Big Agnes Tiger Wall UL2. We heavily consider a tent’s weight (double-checked with a kitchen scale), material, interior space, and…
I try to pay as little attention possible to “influencers” in general, but 20-year-old Braden Peters, better known as “Clavicular,” popped up on my news feed this week after landing himself in hot water for a gun-involved incident in Florida. Peters is facing misdemeanor charges for allegedly opening fire on a dead alligator while livestreaming in the Florida Everglades back in March. There were reports at the time that Peters was under investigation for the incident, but according to the Miami New Times, charges weren’t formally filed until late April. BREAKING: Popular live streamer Clavicular is currently…
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran has created a government agency to vet and tax vessels seeking passage through the crucial Strait of Hormuz, a shipping data company reported Thursday, as Tehran said it was reviewing the latest U.S. proposals for ending the war. The Iranian effort to formalize control over the channel raised new concerns about international shipping, with hundreds of commercial ships bottled up in the Persian Gulf and unable to reach the open sea. Still, hope that the two-month conflict could soon be over buoyed international markets. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said the Islamic…
Steam users who pick up the hilariously titled “Speak to the Manager” Humble Bundle receive 8 varied management games, plus two DLCs, for just $12—when these games, collectively, are worth $236. It’s hard to find a better deal than that, especially when players are not just getting a solid collection of management and strategy games, but are also contributing to a good cause as well. However, they’ll want to act quickly—this bundle ends on May 8. Humble Bundle’s Speak to the Manager bundle includes 10 Steam keys (for 8 games and 2 DLC), which can be purchased for as little…

On Wednesday, Cam wrote about a YouTube channel publishing AI slop, claiming that carry permits were struck down nationwide. That’s one of those “big if true” moments that we all know isn’t true. They could have done that with the Bruen decision, if so inclined, and this is the same court that ruled there. It’s just not remotely likely that would be true, and that bothers me because it’s not like there isn’t enough good news to go around, like the latest comments from the DOJ. See, while Rhode Island is trying to take people’s…
As the Minnesota Senate was debating an omnibus gun control bill this week that includes a ban on so-called assault weapons and “large capacity” magazines, Democrat-Farmer-Labor State Sen. Erin Maye Quade launched into a story about how she’s seen firsthand the positive effects of previous gun control efforts in the state. Minnesota State Sen. Erin Maye Quade (DFL) tells the story about how the gun regulation she helped passed in 2023 helped save a constituent’s life.”I was in the library in my community and a woman came up to me and she said, ‘You saved…
VATICAN CITY (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio made a fence-mending visit to the Vatican on Thursday to underscore strong bilateral ties, after U.S. President Donald Trump’s broadsides against Pope Leo XIV for his opposition to the Iran war angered the Holy See and sparked ongoing sparring between them. The U.S. State Department said that the meetings with Leo and the Vatican’s top diplomat covered peace in the Middle East and “underscored the strong relationship between the United States and the Holy See,” and reflected the “enduring partnership” between them. Rubio, a practicing Catholic, had an audience first…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. Summary Axios reports that the White House is nearing a preliminary deal with Iran to end the war, as Trump’s post appears to offer an olive branch. White House says it expects a response to the latest offer within 48 hours. Iran’s initial response via media & national security spox: US demands are unrealistic & do not reflect reality. A key caveat of the US offered deal is that Iran would commit to a moratorium on uranium enrichment, & Washington wants a 20-year ban on this. US x Iran permanent peace deal by June…
The would-be Trump assassin was, from all outward appearances, a model citizen before traveling across the country to try to kill the president and the rest of the administration, curiously absent Kash Patel. He had no criminal record, went through every hoop the state of California could throw at him, and lawfully purchased the guns he later used to try to undo the outcome of a presidential election he didn’t agree with. But the store he got at least one of his guns from has come under scrutiny. They sell a bunch of guns, and…
BEIJING (AP) — China again signaled that Taiwan would be a priority topic ahead of a highly anticipated summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping next week, saying that U.S. must adhere to the “one China principle” for a stable relationship with Beijing. Last week, China’s top diplomat Wang Yi said he hopes the U.S. would make the “right choices” relating to the self-ruled island when he spoke with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. China claims Taiwan as its own territory and has not excluded the use of force to take it. Beijing has been…
The Air Force is exploring changes that could reshape how future airmen are trained, as senior leaders question whether the current model is built for the demands of the next fight. In an interview with Military.com at the Air & Space Forces Association’s Warfare Symposium, Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force David Wolfe said the service is examining whether its training pipeline, long centered on early technical specialization, needs to evolve. We’ve got to think about doing things differently, Wolfe said. We’ve got to find places where maybe we’re too technical, too soon. That reassessment reflects a broader effort…

On April 24, 2026, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Daryl Caudle signed a formal memorandum directing that only Surface Warfare Officers (SWOs) will be eligible to command U.S. Navy amphibious warships. This was not an informal policy shift or gradual evolution in assignment practices; it was a written order that categorically removed naval aviators from eligibility for those commands going forward. The directive applies across the entire amphibious fleet, including large-deck amphibious assault ships (LHD and LHA classes), amphibious transport docks (LPD), and dock landing ships (LSD). These ships form the core of the Navy-Marine Corps amphibious force, responsible for…
