Having been at this for a while now, there are certain things that keep coming up over and over again. They’re touted by gun control advocates as things that absolutely have to be restricted and restricted immediately if we want to ensure public safety. That is always the reason they give, or some variation of it. But, well, we know they’re not interested in safety. If they were, they’d be asking for things like improved mental health resources, tougher sentences for violent offenders, increased funding for law enforcement, and so on. They’d be calling for…
Following its official announcement, Splitgate studio 1047 Games has released a cinematic reveal trailer for its Titanfall-inspired shooter, Empulse. The upcoming shooter is a new direction for the developer, departing from the Portal and Halo-inspired Splitgate for a movement-focused, mech-centric competitive FPS that could fill the gap Respawn Games left almost ten years ago.

Inspired by shooters like Titanfall and Black Ops 3, Empulse shed…

The state-level officials in Virginia are big mad these days. They were absolutely convinced that once they took office, they could do whatever they wanted, and the rest of the state would just fall in line. They campaigned on one thing, did a bait and switch on the voters, then seemed to think that everyone else just had to take it like a champ. And they’re not, particularly with prosectors who have already said publicly that they won’t enforce the new assault weapon ban. We’ve talked a lot about this already, but it seems the…
A group of 14 bipartisan lawmakers in both the House and Senate want answers on military service members’ protections as the Department of Defense for “the first time” acknowledged how location data is leading to active targeting in war zones. The May 28 letter, signed by U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Rep. Pat Harrigan (R-N.C.), expresses “serious concern” that DOD has not taken the necessary steps to adapt to counterintelligence and force protection threats posed by the collection and sale of personal information, including cell phone location data, by data brokers. The lawmakers wrote that while DOD has known…
The White House has signaled that it intends to hold a ceasefire agreement with Iran as long as no American troops are killed. United States ruler Donald Trump made the comment on his social media platform, Truth Social, while simultaneously blasting the four Republicans who voted the night prior to limit war powers as “GRANDSTANDERS” and “unpatriotic”. The vote, however, was largely symbolic, with most mainstream media outlets reporting that it has no real teeth to hold Trump back from using military force in Iran. A bigger issue for the US is that Iran continues to claim that no negotiations…
Seth Wilmoth’s running project isn’t just punishing — it also sounds like a darn good time. Last month, the athlete tackled a marathon of marathons while traversing 340 miles, passing through all 13 of California’s varied geographical “ecoregions,” and raising over $10,000 to support public lands. Called “Project Gold Rush,” Wilmoth’s mission was both a grueling endurance challenge and a fundraiser for state parks — as well as a bit of a publicity stunt for Skechers. He used two models of the brand’s long-distance running shoes to complete the challenge (so no, he didn’t tackle the marathons in sneakers). Running…
The ATF is doing away with its “Demand 2” program, which placed additional requirements on gun shops that sold at least 25 firearms that were subject to a trace within a calendar year. Gun control groups claim that those FFLs must be doing something wrong to generate that many traces, and under the Biden administration groups like Brady and their allies in the media engaged in a campaign to name and shame those shops once they’d gained access to the list of FFLs who’d received Demand 2 letters. Under the Trump administration the ATF is…
The fatal shooting of a naked, unarmed man by a Louisville Metro Police officer is drawing intense scrutiny as investigators examine whether the use of deadly force was justified. According to reporting by WHAS11, Louisville Metro Police Officer Nathan Stotts shot and killed 27-year-old Martin Nitzken Jr. on May 30 while responding to a domestic disturbance call in the city’s Klondike neighborhood. The incident has quickly become one of the most controversial officer-involved shootings in Louisville this year. Police Chief Paul Humphrey removed Stotts from his position just days after the shooting, a move legal observers say is unusual given…
After a judge in Virginia rejected a motion by anti-gun Attorney General Jay Jones to lift an injunction blocking the state police from enforcing a background check requirement on private transfers of firearms, Democrat lawmakers could have pledged to address the defects in their scheme so that it complies with Virginia’s constitution and the judge’s previous rulings. Instead, they’re taking the low road and accusing Second Amendment advocates of wanting to arm violent criminals. Felons & wife beaters across VA rejoice! You can still buy a gun from a private seller for the time being even…
The Tricare Prime travel benefit helps Tricare Prime beneficiaries with the cost of traveling for specialty care. It is designed to remove some of the financial barriers when care can’t be provided within the local network. This benefit applies only in specific cases, so understanding the program is critical. Eligibility The patient must be a family member or retiree enrolled in Tricare Prime or Tricare Remote within the United States. They may not be an active-duty service member. Separate programs exist for family members living overseas on military orders and for active-duty service members. The care must be medically necessary,…
Not nearly as many people are checking into hospitals in the Democratic Republic of Congo for symptoms of the rapidly spreading Ebola virus. “There is a high concern overall, but the main concern is that people are hiding,” said Faith Koskei, the head of Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL) at Save the Children. WHO Chief Swears Ebola Outbreak “Can Be Stopped” Koskei said that people in the areas affected by the recent outbreak are afraid that they will be isolated and quarantined if they report their symptoms to health officials. “If I suspect that I have Ebola, I may not…
For decades, the NRA and the NRA Foundation were about as closely linked as a rifle and its sling. Now they’re headed for what appears to be a very public divorce. According to reporting from NewsMax and comments from NRA Board Member Anthony Colandro during a recent interview on Gun Owners Radio, the NRA Foundation is moving to separate itself from the National Rifle Association and rebrand as the “1791 Foundation,” setting the stage for a major battle over money, control, and the future of one of the gun-rights movement’s most recognizable institutions. The split comes amid an ongoing federal…
A YouTuber recently decided to walk into the Rockstar Games studio that’s currently working on Grand Theft Auto 6. The GTA 6 stunt ended with the police getting involved, and the YouTuber has now talked about the incident. May 26, 2026, was at one time the planned release date for GTA 6, but the game experienced another delay that moved it to its current schedule of launching on November 19, 2026. Fans have been waiting for GTA 6 for years, and since the game was originally intended to launch in 2025, the patience of some in the fanbase is wearing…
Ever since the Trump administration announced it was getting rid of the “engaged in the business” rule put in place by Joe Biden and then-ATF Director Steve Dettelbach, the gun control lobby has been squawking that the repeal will fuel gun trafficking and let dangerous people purchase firearms even though they can’t pass a background check. CeasefirePA’s Adam Garber, for instance, claims repeal of that rule, which treated almost every private seller of a single firearm as an unlicensed gun dealer, and the ATF’s move to repeal its rule treating almost every brace-equipped pistol as…
BEIRUT (AP) — Hezbollah on Thursday rejected the latest ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and the Lebanese government, and the militant group demanded a complete Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon as continued fighting there hampered moves to end the Iran war. The Hezbollah announcement came as Israeli strikes killed at least four people, according to local authorities, and a U.N. peacekeeper was killed in the crossfire. Hezbollah leader Naim Kassem, in a written statement read on TV, said the agreement’s demand that Hezbollah fighters leave southern Lebanon under fire would mean “surrender, defeat and achieving the enemy’s goals.” “What we are…
In a truly free society, no one can tell you how to exercise your constitutionally protected rights so long as no one gets harmed. You should try to exercise them responsibly, but the moment the state steps in to dictate what you do with those rights, freedom goes out the window. Yes, even if you’re being a jackass by not doing something, it’s still not the role of the government to mandate how you exercise your rights absent direct harm to another person.But states like New York don’t see it that way, and neither do…
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration has given a man convicted in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol a job in the Pentagon’s policy office, according to officials and internal records. “Mr. Elias Irizarry is a qualified, patriotic young professional, and we are proud to have him as a political appointee,” acting Pentagon press secretary Joel Valdez said in a social media post this week. Irizarry, whose appointment was first reported by The Washington Post, was convicted in 2023 of a misdemeanor trespassing charge after a mob of President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol. He showed…
Recently, I heard a troubling everyday situational awareness story about a lady walking back to her car at a neighborhood market when a young woman approached her. The young woman was friendly and complimented her. They got into a conversation, and the young woman inched closer to the lady. All of a sudden, the young woman snatched the lady’s necklace and ran off. The poor victim was very shaken and sustained some bruises, and of course, she was sad that she lost her valuable necklace. This story made me think that most people don’t get into trouble for doing obviously…

For members on active duty, Tricare covers one basic eye exam every year for all beneficiaries. Tricare for retirees covers less, and how much less depends on which Tricare plan you choose. Retirees who want more vision benefits have to add another vision insurance plan. Tricare Vision Coverage for Retirees For military retirees and their family members enrolled in a Tricare Prime plan, Tricare covers one routine eye exam every two years. You can get that exam from any Tricare-authorized provider without a referral. You will need to pay a co-pay or cost-share, and your specific costs will depend on…
