Taylor Sheridan’s Lioness returned to Paramount+ for a third season Aug. 2 with Zoe Saldaña’s CIA officer Joe McNamara leading another covert mission. The Paramount series is based on a real U.S. military program, although its fictional operatives bear little resemblance to the women who carried the Lioness name in Iraq. Those Lionesses included Army mechanics, clerks, engineers and other support soldiers, as well as female Marines pulled from specialties across the Corps. They were given a job commanders had not originally planned for. Zoe Saldaña as Joe in Lioness season 3, streaming on Paramount+, 2026. Photo Credit: Lauren “Lo”…

Americans have built an enormous nonprofit infrastructure around the men and women who served in the military. There are organizations helping veterans find jobs, navigate benefits, improve their physical and mental health, reconnect with their communities, pursue education, overcome homelessness and make the transition from military to civilian life. More than 40,000 veteran-focused nonprofits have operated across that landscape, according to previous research cited by Time. Yet the sheer number of organizations, and the billions of dollars that flow through the broader veteran-support ecosystem, raises a deceptively simple question: How do we know which programs actually work? For many veteran…

Imagine the grid going down for weeks or even months. No cell service, no internet, no quick lookup when you need to know how to treat a serious wound, preserve food without power, or fix a broken tool. In a long-term disaster, knowledge is just as valuable as anything in your survival kit. Wikipedia is one of the largest collections of practical information ever assembled. It covers medicine and first aid, water treatment, gardening, food preservation, mechanics, chemistry, history, and nearly every other subject you can think of. The problem is that it normally lives online. If the internet goes…

Perhaps my favorite fiction author is Larry Correia. His Monster Hunter International series is incredible, though the Grimnoir series is my favorite. He’s done others, and one that I think a lot of people sleep on is the novel he did with John D. Brown called “Gun Runner.” It’s a science fiction work that, frankly, I enjoyed so much. While I’m hoping we get a second book there, it seems there’s something else in the works in that universe.A Kickstarter for a graphic novel version of the book.The 2021 Dragon Award-winning military science fiction novel…
Gun owners (or most of them, anyway) are rightfully delighted with U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix’s decision that much of the National Firearms Act has been rendered moot now that the making and transfer taxes on suppressors, short-barreled firearms, and “any other weapons” have been zeroed out by Congress in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. As Reason’s Jacob Sullum writes in his latest syndicated column, though, even folks who have no plans to purchase a suppressor or short-barreled rifle in the future should be pleased by how Hendrix reached his decision. Hendrix didn’t decide…
More than 100,000 surplus M14 rifles once used by the U.S. military are expected to go on sale to the public beginning early next year through the Civilian Marksmanship Program.

The CMP could reconsider this limit as sales go on. CMP CEO and board Chairman Jerry O’Keefe…
I keep trying to keep myself calm regarding the court’s decision on the NFA registry requirement for suppressors and short-barreled long guns. I want it to mean the end of the NFA requirements entirely, and while they’re gone for now, there’s no guarantee they won’t return down the road. I want to temper my expectations. Still gonna SBR my home defense rifle and put a can on it, though.However, it’s always possible that an appeal will come.That’s not stopping Giffords from absolutely losing its mind over it.Trump’s Justice Department just failed to defend nearly 100…
PHOENIX (AP) — All eyes were on Navajo Code Talker Thomas H. Begay. The 101-year-old veteran saluted while the national anthem played on Friday, kicking off a day of recognition honoring him and the other Navajo recruits who famously used their native language to keep military secrets during World War II. Begay, one of the last two living Code Talkers, made the long trip from his home on the Navajo Nation to the Arizona State Capitol for the event. He was joined by family members and dozens of descendants of other Code Talkers. “I am so damn proud,” said Begay,…
Police are on the hunt for a woman who stands accused of stealing $8,500 from a bank by using a fraudulent military identification card. The Shreverport Police Department in Louisiana has asked for the public’s help in identifying the unknown woman, who is accused of stealing the money on July 15, at BOM Bank. Police said the woman used the ID to obtain a cash advance on the victim’s credit line. Bank representatives reportedly thought the ID was legitimate until the victim later discovered the unauthorized withdrawal and confirmed they had not allowed anyone else to access their account. In…
A 30-acre wooded property on a lake in western New York opened up as a free retreat where disabled veterans could rest and heal. But the land is claimed to be a private getaway paid for by strangers who thought they were helping veterans. On Aug. 12, Attorney General Letitia James sued the charity, Healing for Heroes, along with the married couple who founded and ran it, Thomas Nelsen and Jennifer Milchanoski-Nelsen, of Bemus Point. The lawsuit alleges the two solicited donations in the name of disabled veterans and then spent much of the money on themselves, renovating a bathroom,…
