Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, following the first striking of a boat in the Caribbean in September, issued a verbal directive to U.S. service members to “kill everybody” with a second strike that would leave no survivors, according to a new report from the Washington Post.The Post reported that the second strike was conducted at Hegseth’s discretion and carried out by the counterterror group SEAL Team 6 after two survivors of a vessel allegedly carrying narcotics were spotted. The vessel originally held 11 individuals before it was struck by a missile off the coast of Trinidad.“The order was to kill everybody,” one…

What do you have going on the weekend of February 21st next year?If the answer is, “Not a thing,” or some variation thereof, I hope you’ll consider making your way to Summerfield, Florida, for one of the fastest-growing Second Amendment annual events in the country, 2A Freedom Fest. You might be wondering why that name sounds familiar. If so, it’s because I mentioned it earlier this year, just a few weeks before the event. However, that didn’t really let a lot of people plan their trips in time, so we’re bringing it up a bit…
We who engage in shooting sports seem to constantly be on the lookout for new doodads that we feel will improve our experience. I plead guilty to this, I admit. I’m always looking for things that will help me carry ammo, store things, be more organized when going to the range, etc. I have accumulated a lot of stuff over the years, even more after becoming an active gun writer. So, I thought I might share some items with you. I will touch on a variety of equipment… gun bags and cases, ammo storage, targets, tools, and other items. I…
This article was originally published by Jacob Thomas at Natural News. The Federal Reserve is identified as the primary cause of inflation through its policy of “currency debasement,” which systematically destroys the value of Americans’ savings and wages. A “political-inflation doom loop” is described, where the government prints money to fund spending, causing prices to rise, which in turn leads the public to demand more government relief, necessitating even more money printing. There is a deliberate and widespread misunderstanding of inflation’s root cause, with the public blaming supply chains or corporate greed instead of monetary policy. The U.S. has “crossed…
The Caribbean is turning into a pressure zone as U.S. forces push closer to Venezuela.In late November U.S. Southern Command expanded a joint task force operating near Venezuela, framing the mission as a multi-agency effort to disrupt narcotics networks, strengthen partner defenses, and block illicit actors in the Caribbean. Venezuelan leaders in the diaspora warn the growing posture could go far beyond drug enforcement, sparking displacement, retaliation and broader instability across the hemisphere.The joint task force’s mission is focused on disrupting the flow of illegal narcotics before they reach the United States and partner nations, according to U.S. Southern Command.…
I have long been a fan of Sarsilmaz (SAR) guns. This Turkish company built its reputation by producing, among other things, 9mm DA/SA pistols reminiscent of the CZ75. I owned one once, a good while ago. It was nothing fancy, but it worked very well, and it was more accurate than I was. Like I tend to do, I sold it to get something else – I forgot what – and then regretted it later. I have 20/20 remorse-sight where selling guns is concerned. Cut to the present… I requested a gun or two from Miami-based SAR USA, and promptly…
Earlier this week, Michigan’s Gun Violence Prevention Task Force rolled out its report. It included a whole lot of various things, and it made a lot of headlines in the state. Yes, we covered it here, too. After all, when you call for things like assault weapon bans, we’re kind of going to notice.But there’s an interesting quirk about the report that you might not know if you just followed much of the initial media coverage. There was a certain form of framing in those stories that we need to pay close attention to.A group that…
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has collapsed, abruptly ending its operations as a new U.S. led military coordination body prepares to oversee and coordinate aid distribution in the territory.The U.S.- and Israel-backed relief effort that began operating in late May shut down permanently this week in Gaza, deepening an already severe access gap for civilians as the U.S.-led Civil Military Coordination Center (CMCC) moves to coordinate aid delivery, security and movement across the war-torn strip.On Nov. 24 the group announced it was ending its Gaza operations, calling its emergency mission complete. In the days that followed, governments, aid groups and analysts…
Donald Trump, the current ruler of the United States, has signed an executive order titled “Genesis Mission,” which will ensure we live in a digital prison, where the power lies with the state. The left-right paradigm lies have never been more apparent, as both sides seek ultimate control over others. The Biblically named Genesis Mission ensures total control of AI regulations are in the hands of the state, furthering Trump’s commitment to ensure the government grows, and no state can constitutionally oppose anything he does, writes World Alternative Media under the description of the YouTube video about this executive order.…
About an hour and a half into my first sit of the season, I was having a staredown with a doe 10 yards away. Other deer were in the area, and I reminded myself to stay still, trust my camouflage, and put out good vibes. Yes, I believe deer detect “vibes.” After what felt like an eternity, she put her head down and went back to her business. She spent about 40 minutes under my stand, blissfully unaware of my presence. With the ability to shoot three does a day in my home state, I grabbed my bow, but ultimately…
Many working to improve timed runs, shuttle runs and sprints in the military feel the “need for speed. Adding calisthenics between these sets of speed and goal-pace running and swimming can be an effective way to combine muscle stamina, speed, agility and endurance into a time-saving routine.Here is a workout we did this week that focuses on a variety of testing events, including the Navy Physical Screening Test (PST), Air Force Initial Fitness Test (IFT), and any military timed run.Warmup with Pull-ups, Toe Touch Pyramid, Jog/Dynamic Stretch Between Sets, and Mile RunThis routine is to stretch and warm up before…
Arguably, time itself is a matter of form and function, but when it comes to reading time during outdoor ventures, the form of a proper field watch is the way to go. For more specialized use, there are tactical and dive builds, but we still lump them in with the general term “field watches.” To withstand years of use, whether for work or recreation, a watch needs a rugged case, bold numbers you can read in the dark, and an overall aesthetic you’ll be happy to have on your wrist every day. For us, several Vaer watches check all those…
It’s easy to take our freedoms for granted, especially if that’s all we’ve known. I don’t think that’s as much of an issue for Second Amendment advocates, given that we’re actively working to secure and strengthen those freedoms, but there are a lot of folks out there who don’t think much, if at all, about how unique the United States is when it comes to individual rights and liberties. I’d argue that some of the biggest champions of those freedoms are pro-Second Amendment immigrants, including those who’ve fled more repressive regimes and have actively embraced…
A new report finds that the Department of Defense needs to find more productive ways to address and mitigate risks associated with publicly available digital data of military personnel that could potentially harm service members and their families.The report was publicly released Nov. 17 by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) and stems from prior testimony before the Senate Committee on Armed Services’ Subcommittee focused on risks of publicly available data about DOD personnel and operations, and DOD’s own approach to address security-related risks.Broader recommendations for more stringent guardrails to protect personnel and their families, in addition to national security as a whole,…
In his youth, Randy Ark enjoyed an idyllic childhood growing up in the rural parts of Clark County, Ohio. That feeling of innocence was shattered when Ark became a medic in Vietnam, getting an up close and personal look at the atrocities of war. Ark, 77, recently wrote two memoirs about his experiences, “Everyone Has a Story: A Combat Medic’s Tale,” and “The Autobiography of Randall W. Ark,” which reflects upon a youth spent in west-central Ohio in the 1950s and ‘60s. Ark said his experience in Vietnam molded him into the man he became. As he grew older, Ark, a retired…
Small improvements to the gear you use day in and day out mean big improvements in functionality and protection, and this holiday week welcomed gear releases that did just that. A new phone case aims to give your expensive smartphone the protection of an airbag. Wildly popular blade maker Montana Knife Company releases multiple new models. And some high-end, high-tech SUPs (with jet motors!) have us dreaming of summer — or maybe a trip south of the equator. All that and a bunch more! Ultra-Comfy Ski Boot (Photo/Scarpa) Scarpa’s main goal with its new 4-Quattro GT ski boot ($670) was simple…
