The United States and Nigeria conducted a joint operation in which 175 members of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) were killed. These fighters were said to be both simple militants and senior commanders. The Trump administration sent troops to Nigeria back in February in what was described as an “advisory and training role”, though the recent operations indicate a more active role for the US military in the African nation. The latest strikes come days after Abuja and Washington announced that a joint military operation in the Lake Chad Basin killed senior Islamic State commander Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, who…

While Democrats in states like Minnesota, Virginia, and Rhode Island are making lawful gun owners the focus of their public safety efforts by trying to criminalize the ownership and possession of commonly owned arms, Republicans in Mississippi are taking a different approach to fighting crime: focusing on the criminals themselves. On July 1, the same day Virginia’s new ban on “assault firearms” and “large capacity” magazines is set to take effect, Mississippi’s SB 2710 will also be in full force. Folks in Jackson, Hattiesburg, and other communities will still be able to purchase 20-round magazines…
As we approach the end of the current generation, games are becoming more ambitious and impressive with each passing year. Plenty of titles that started development before or shortly after the arrival of the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S are finally nearing release. They promise to fully tap into the current-gen hardware’s potential, delivering levels of scope, visuals, freedom, and immersiveness as we have never seen before. It’s safe to assume that the next few years will be even more exciting for fans of every genre, open-world included. Some games might still be pretty far off, but they are already…
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Polish officials on Wednesday welcomed U.S. statements clarifying that the decision not to deploy 4,000 U.S. troops to the central European country was a temporary measure. The Polish government last week reacted with disbelief at news that 4,000 troops from the Army’s 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division were no longer en route as planned to the country that borders Ukraine. The Trump administration previously said it was cutting U.S. forces in Germany, a decision sparking unease and criticism in both Europe and Washington. On Tuesday night, the chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell called…
During the Biden administration, Second Amendment organizations filed lawsuits over virtually every new rule put in place by the ATF, and were largely successful in their legal challenges because of the administration’s willingness to look beyond the actual laws adopted by Congress in order to put far more restrictive measures in place. Now that the Trump administration has laid out more than 30 rule changes of its own to ATF regulations, anti-gunners say it’s now their turn to use the courts in an attempt to halt the proposed rules from being enforced, though they’re likely…

Memorial Day is a federal holiday observed on the last Monday in May to honor Americans who died in military service. It began as Decoration Day, a post-Civil War tradition of placing flowers on soldiers’ graves. The man who formalized that tradition into a national observance was Maj. Gen. John A. Logan, a Union commander who fought in eight major campaigns, took over an army on the battlefield after its general was killed and went from defending slavery in Congress to voting for the Constitutional amendments that ended it. He left the war as one of the Union’s most successful…

“There he is, in the neighbors’ trash again,” I groaned to my wife about our yellow lab. He’d just run half a mile to the nearest neighbor to investigate their trash. Frustrated by his insistence on leaving our property, I ordered the SpotOn NOVA GPS Fence, and he hasn’t left since (as long as I remember to put the collar on him). He’s a different dog, thanks to this GPS fence. We have two labs, a chocolate and a yellow. The yellow generally leads our chocolate lab off of our 60 acres for hours at a time. It’s typically not…
Illegal aliens are still being rounded up by the Trump administration, and they’re largely being found in so-called sanctuary cities. Minneapolis, the epicenter of much of the outrage about the round-ups, is a prime example. If illegal aliens were handed over to ICE when caught by the local authorities, ICE wouldn’t have needed to swarm entire neighborhoods. But the truth is that sanctuary cities of various types have a long history in this country, and it wasn’t a problem for your average anti-gunner until very recently.Researchers have identified 350 to 400 cities that have implemented…
As a born-and-raised Texan, I’m well aware that the normally docile cow can be dangerous. While it may seem silly, I grew up in a state where crossing fence lines could put you in real danger of aggressive steers — and their gun-toting owners. But a recent death in the Austrian Alps reminds me that angry cows can cause plenty of damage on their own. An elderly couple were hiking through the East Tyrol region on Sunday when they were attacked by a “double-digit” herd of belligerent bovines, according to Kronen Zeitung, Austria’s biggest newspaper. The 67-year-old woman died on…
A Texas man accused of stalking and harassing his ex-girlfriend could regain his right to keep and bear arms after the Texas Supreme Court ordered a lower court to take a second look at the case. Jonathan Noyes has been subject to a protective order issued in 2021 that bars him from talking to, harassing or coming near his ex or her parents, as well as prohibiting him from owning a gun for the rest of his life. Noyes contends that condition violates his Second Amendment rights, and in a decision handed down last week,…
Gun Owners of America is mobilizing its members against a provision in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ recent package of 34 rulemaking notices — specifically the rule governing how long FFLs must retain Form 4473 transaction records and how long ATF itself can hold those records after a dealer goes out of business. The pro-gun rights organization is calling the proposed rule a “step in the right direction” but ultimately inadequate, arguing that the federal government’s long-term retention of firearms transaction records functions as a de facto national gun registry — something explicitly prohibited by federal law.…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream under the title: The Ebola Scare Begins: This Is Already The Worst Outbreak Of Bundibugyo Virus Disease In World History, And People Are Starting To Freak Out Global health authorities are extremely concerned about an outbreak of Bundibugyo virus disease in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The death toll has already reached triple digits, and new cases have been detected hundreds of miles away from the original outbreak. BVD is a type of Ebola disease, but unlike other types of Ebola, there is no…
