The New York Times has it in for 2A influencer and congressional candidate Brandon Herrera. Over the past few days opinion writer Michelle Goldberg devoted an entire column to Herrera’s campaign, and over the weekend the news side of the paper ran a lengthy piece, with both the opinion and straight news coverage focusing on some of the comments that Herrera has made during his time as one of the most popular GunTubers around. Herrera’s Republican opponent in both 2024 and 2026 did most of the legwork for the hit pieces from the Times. Former…
Just when I thought I’d heard it all. I’ve spent years listening to military job seekers navigate a brutal civilian job market: competing against thousands of applicants for a single opening, being told they’re overqualified, getting ghosted by employers deep into the interview process. These are painful but familiar stories. What I’m hearing now is different. Today, candidates are telling me that the interviews themselves are going sideways, and it’s the interviewer who’s behaving badly. Two Stories Worth Sharing Consider this: A young female naval officer interviews with a prominent Wall Street investment firm. She’s qualified by every measurable standard.…
More than 20 years before Gene Roddenberry sent the USS Enterprise across the galaxy, he was trying to keep a B-17 from running off an island runway in the South Pacific. On Aug. 2, 1943, Roddenberry was piloting Yankee Doodle during a takeoff from Espiritu Santo when the bomber failed to build enough speed. He aborted, but the B-17 ran off the runway and broke apart in the jungle. Two crew members died. Roddenberry survived. He went on to create Star Trek, which turns 60 on Sept. 8, 2026. His path from the military to science fiction was unusual, but…
Giffords and other gun control organizations like to say that they don’t want to destroy the Second Amendment. They claim to respect your right to keep and bear arms. They just want some “common sense” regulations that will make the world safer for little kittens and puppies. Sure, their founder once told a Time reporter, “No more guns,” but that didn’t count. Nope, they just want a few regulations and nothing more, and their latest endorsement proves their sincerity.We’re proud to endorse Dr. @AbdulElSayed for the US Senate in Michigan!Dr. El-Sayed understands that America’s gun violence crisis…
An Air Force reservist who produces early-morning television out of Kentucky has received a regional Emmy Award for her team’s coverage of a deadly UPS cargo plane crash in Louisville. Staff Sgt. Tabitha Awoniyi, a member of the commander’s support staff with the 442nd Force Support Squadron at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, received the award July 25 as part of WLKY-TV’s morning news team. The news team won the Morning, Daytime, or Weekend Newscast Category for its coverage of the Nov. 4, 2025, crash of UPS flight 2976, according to a 442nd Fighter Wing news release. When she is…
A Marine Corps Veteran living in Arizona was prepared to give up his three elderly dogs that had been with his family for over 10 years after he was left homeless and unable to transition them to a new place. An employee at Maricopa County Animal Care and Control helped Rick Dennis find housing where all four of them could remain together. Through the Department of Veterans Affairs, Dennis found alternative means of living. The problem was that the housing was unable to accommodate the animals. With this in mind, the Marine veteran opted to live out of his car…
We’re hitting record lows for violent crime. We’re safer than we’ve probably ever been in this country, and this is despite a lot of reasons why we probably shouldn’t be. Income disparity, racial tension, political upheaval, and anti-police animosity all would seem to create a recipe for violence, and while it has to some extent, it’s not spilling over into people’s everyday lives. As Cam noted earlier this week, some are expecting the drop to be even greater for 2026.In addition to what I noted above, something else to consider is that anti-gunners claimed that…
The top U.S. military commander in the Middle East visited the long-deployed USS Lincoln in the Arabian Sea during a regional tour that ended on Saturday, the U.S. Central Command said. A Hamas delegation and, separately, U.S. negotiator Jared Kushner were in Egypt for Gaza ceasefire-related talks with Egyptian officials. And the 60-day negotiating period that began with the June 17 signing of an interim agreement between the U.S. and Iran is set to end with no word of an extension. Here’s a look at the latest developments on Sunday in the Iran war and the wider Middle East. Full…
I’m a woodworker, and something that I always hear in that field is that you can never have enough clamps. Likewise, I’m pretty sure you can never have enough holsters, particularly if you want the optimal one for each gun and purpose. An inside-the-waistband holster for concealed carry is dope for everyday use, but it might not fit every gun you’re going to carry. Sometimes, carrying openly is what you want, which is a different holster entirely. And even if they’re not everyone’s cup of tea, some of us grew up watching enough cop shows…
According to a recent survey from the Federal Reserve, nearly 40 percent of Americans would have trouble paying for an unexpected expense of $400 or more with cash. Another recent survey from a company called Omnisend found that about 30 percent of Americans are paying for essentials like groceries and gas with credit cards, knowing that they may not be able to pay off their bill. “Affordability” has become the buzzword of the 2026 campaign cycle, as more and more of us are feeling the pinch. But while most politicians are at least paying lip…
The previously unclaimed remains of 15 U.S. military veterans will be escorted across Pennsylvania on Friday before receiving a funeral with full military honors at the Indiantown Gap National Cemetery.

A U.S. Marine Corps veteran has sued a popular Illinois steakhouse, claiming that their food left him “bedridden” with permanent brain injuries. Attorneys representing Joe Belgio, who became a firefighter after his time in the Marines and is now confined to a hospital bed, announced a lawsuit and fundraiser on his behalf, according to ABC News.

The Pentagon has given major defense contractors 21 days to submit plans showing that they can produce and deliver critical weapons systems at a much higher pace, as recent combat operations around the globe have severely dwindled some stockpiles. Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg issued the directive in an Aug. 5 memo to industry leaders. The memo calls for companies to propose an uptick in production for such weapons systems deemed critical. “Years-long development cycles are not acceptable,” Feinberg wrote. “We must dramatically accelerate our program schedules and expand our production capacity now.” The memo was directed toward major defense…
