There’s a path forward now for felons to get their gun rights back. It’s already happened, even. That’s fantastic news for millions of Americans who have had to deal with the ramifications of one mistake keeping them disarmed and put them and their families at risk. There’s a process.Plotting a terrorist attack at the White House’s UFC event, however, is most definitely not the way to get those gun rights back. Especially when you’ve already got the gun.Christopher M. Perry, 38, of Rocklin, was indicted Thursday for possessing firearms and destroying records in a federal…
Army Secretary Dan Driscoll has resigned after 18 months in the job and months of reported clashes with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll has resigned after 18 months in the job, the White House confirmed Monday. His departure follows months of reported friction with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Driscoll submitted his resignation to President Donald Trump, according to the White House, and The Wall Street Journal first reported his departure. An Army official told CNN that Driscoll “spoke to the president about the current state of the Army and submitted his resignation.” The White House did not…
If you are considering a VA refinance, interest rates are likely at the top of your mind. Interest rates are one of the biggest factors in determining your monthly mortgage payment, making it crucial to understand how they work before you apply. While VA loans generally offer some of the best interest rates on the market, your final rate is not set in stone. It is determined by a combination of broad market forces and your individual financial profile. Here is a breakdown of the key factors that dictate your VA refinance rate and how to secure the best option…

Which military branch has the best retirement benefits? This question has a simple answer that people may not expect — with an exception: No branch pays a better military pension than any other. Retirement pay is governed entirely by federal law and Department of Defense policy, not by the individual services, and the underlying math is identical whether someone spent 20 years in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force, or Coast Guard. One variable does exist, but you can’t count on it just by joining a certain service. Two Systems: What’s the Same Across Every Branch Service…
A staggeringly unrealistic article recently came out entitled “This Is The Income A Family Needs To Live Comfortably In Every U.S. State.”As expected, certain high cost-of-living states dominated the list, such as California, Massachusetts, Hawaii, etc. In these states, the income necessary for a “comfortable” lifestyle can top $300,000. So of course, the first thing I looked up is the income necessary for a comfortable lifestyle in Idaho. And do you know what income allegedly is? $226,000!!!!! My outraged comment to Don was, “On what planet?” Seriously, I know no one – literally no one – whose income even remotely approaches that…
On Friday, the war over the Strait of Hormuz reached a milestone that took four and a half months of some of the most dangerous work in the United States military. Admiral Brad Cooper, the head of Central Command, announced in a video address that American forces have cleared the Iranian sea mines from the strait’s transit routes, an effort led by Navy divers and SEALs against weapons the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps laid in the spring. “The circumstances were challenging and dangerous, to say the least, but we got the job done,” Cooper said in the announcement first reported…
George Orwell’s 1984 was supposed to serve as a warning, not an instruction manual. Still, in a world where Flock exists as a company, including its many other “services,” it’s clear that a lot of people didn’t get the freaking message. And California is, unsurprisingly, one of the biggest offenders.See, they don’t just let Flock cameras exist, but they also mandate surveillance at the local gun store. That’s scary, and it’s a system ready for abuse. It seems obvious to anyone who cares to look. Unless, of course, they’re a judge on the Ninth Circus.Federally…

A VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL) is usually the easiest way to lower your interest rate, but it only works if rates have dropped since you got your loan. If today’s rates are higher, or you don’t qualify for an IRRRL right now, you’re not out of options. The best alternatives to a VA IRRRL are loan modification, the VA’s new partial claim program, paying discount points, and simply waiting for a better rate environment. This guide breaks down each option, who it’s for, and how to decide what makes sense for your situation. Alternative Options to a…

How much land do you need for prepping? Ask that question to any prepper and you’ll get answers ranging from less than an acre to five hundred acres, and everyone will sound completely sure of themselves.As you might suspect, the answer is that it depends. But that’s not a cop-out. Because it depends on specific things, and once you work through them, you’ll have a much clearer number than any generic recommendation I can give you. Still, I have my thoughts.Prepping vs. HomesteadingBefore you even think about acreage, you need to answer one question: are you prepping or homesteading?They sound…

The older I get the more fascinated I’ve become with human psychology. There are so many types of people out there that it boggles my mind how people think, act, and ultimately how they view the world. I assume that’s why politics is so polarizing and infuriating.Anyway, the video below is further evidence of just how different even criminals (including psychopaths, sociopaths, etc.) think about their victims. The interesting part is that, whether they consciously realize it or not, criminals target the same people for one big reason: the way a person walks or carries themselves tells the bad guys…
The video argues that a proposed Pennsylvania Department of Health regulation could significantly expand government entry and inspection powers, especially in apartments, schools, and other facilities, while relying only on government identification rather than explicitly requiring a warrant. It frames this as a Fourth Amendment problem, using Supreme Court precedent and Pennsylvania’s own constitutional protections to argue that administrative health inspections still need constitutional limits. The speaker also highlights school-related provisions allowing private meetings with students and broader disease-control language tied to prevention, containment, and mitigation, which the department says modernizes an outdated chapter. The overall conclusion is that the…
The U.S. military and Iran traded strikes Sunday night, led by American strikes on an island in the Strait of Hormuz. The fighting is the first time the United States has struck Iranian targets since the end of July. U.S. forces struck two Iranian rocket aunch sites on Larak Island on Sunday, in response to purported preparations to launch rockets carrying sea mines into the Strait of Hormuz. The small island is used by Iranian military forces and ships traveling through the strait on commercial routes pass by the small landmass. Iranian media said that the attack resulted in many…
The article argues that destroying Iranian launchers, warehouses, and weapons factories is not enough if Iran can quickly replace them. Its core message is that U.S. strategy must focus on supply lines and replenishment networks, not only on visible battlefield targets. The piece frames this as a way to avoid widening the war while still degrading Iran’s military capacity. Overall, it presents a restrained escalation argument: disrupt production and logistics to create lasting pressure without triggering broader conflict. Read the full article from the source.
A Gallup Korea poll reported that 65% of South Koreans support the country having its own nuclear weapons, while 30% oppose the idea. The poll surveyed 1,001 adults nationwide from Aug. 25-27 and was published on Aug. 28, 2026. The article’s main takeaway is that support for indigenous nuclear armament remains broad and politically cross-cutting in South Korea, reflecting continued anxiety about security guarantees and North Korea’s threat.
