The Taurus TX9 Sub-Compact takes the duty-pistol bones of the TX9 line and shrinks them into a 13+1 carry gun. After 300 rounds, cold-weather shooting, and three days concealed, this little 9mm made a strong case for itself. By Brian McCombie The Forgotten TX9: Taurus Shrinks Its Duty Pistol for Carry In January 2026, Taurus USA announced its new TX9 line of three striker-fired 9mm pistols, and they represented a real first for the gun maker. “They were designed from the ground up to compete for international service pistol contracts,” said Caleb Giddings, General Manager of Taurus Marketing. “It was…
ABOARD THE RFA LYME BAY (AP) — Aboard the RFA Lyme Bay docked off the coast of Gibraltar, hundreds of British sailors are waiting to be deployed for a mine-clearing mission to the Strait of Hormuz that is still in doubt. U.S. President Donald Trump has lashed out at allies for not doing more to support the United States’ war effort in Iran, whose chokehold on the strait has crippled international shipping and sent energy prices soaring. In March, Trump told NATO allies to “go get your own oil” and secure the strait themselves. On the southern tip of the…
This article was originally published by Edison Reed at Natural News. A former artificial intelligence (AI) engineer at Google DeepMind has filed a claim with a British employment tribunal alleging unfair dismissal after he protested the company’s contracts with Israel, according to The Guardian. The engineer, who is of Palestinian origin, was fired after distributing flyers and sending emails that criticized Google’s provision of military AI to Israel, the report said. [1] The lawsuit reported on Wednesday, May 20, centers on events at DeepMind’s London office. The employee’s claim describes the termination as discriminatory and asserts that he was acting as a whistleblower.…
Pre-packaged freeze-dried meals are convenient, but they’re also very expensive. Plus, they’re usually loaded with sodium and full of artificial ingredients. Fortunately, you don’t have to rely on them. With a home freeze dryer, you can preserve your own homemade meals. I won’t lie. A home freeze dryer is a significant investment, but once you have one, you can freeze dry anything you want, exactly the way you like it, with ingredients you trust, at a fraction of the cost. Then your favorite meals can sit in the pantry for years, waiting for the day you need them. The five…
With the drop in homicides throughout the nation, a drop that was historic in its magnitude, it’s unsurprising to see a bunch of people trying to claim their preferred policies played a role. I’m not immune to that, either, because as a pro-gun guy, I’d love to say definitively that the restoration of gun rights was the driving cause of the unprecedented drop. The problem is that we simply can’t make a blanket statement about why it happened, in part because it wasn’t just one factor, and I’m honest enough to try and stop myself…
Operation Hathor is the sort of story that sounds made up until you realize it is not. Two SAS troopers got snatched by the wrong people in Basra, and the British response involved armor, airborne surveillance, righteous fury, and all the subtlety of a bar fight with tanks. British SAS Mythos, Real Men, and the Sort of Friends You Want Nearby I’ve only known one member of the British 22d SAS well. Mike was a great bloke. He looked like a bulldog–short and stocky. Like all soldiers who operate in those rarefied spaces, he was also preternaturally calm. Not much…

There was a time when completing a 100-mile hike would have been unfathomable for Army veteran John Filipkowski. After all, it took years to recover from the blast. Filipkowski, a Special Forces soldier, was serving in Afghanistan when an IED tore through his vehicle, flinging his body airborne and causing a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Physically, his body was so damaged that he was confined to a wheelchair, eventually using a cane for mobility. Mentally, the post-traumatic stress the former sergeant first class suffered from 11 deployments handcuffed him with anxiety and depression. Yet, there he was, along with a…

The Tumbler Ridge shooting was pretty terrible, but it also exposed the flaws in Canada’s gun control scheme. While everyone up that way seems to want to pat themselves on the back for responding as they did to the Nova Scotia shooting in 2020, Tumbler Ridge made it clear that you can’t just legislate away death and destruction. Hell, the shooter had even been red-flagged, and still was able to carry out the attack.Now, gun grabbers in the Great White North are demanding information on what kind of guns were used in the attack, though…
The stage is set, the arena is built, and the athletes are “juiced to the gills,” as swimmer James Magnussen put it. The competitors have spent months loading up on anabolic steroids, testosterone esters, growth hormones, and metabolic modulators, training on stimulants like adderall, with their eyes locked on the prize. There’s $25 million on line — if they can break records this weekend, some of them will be going home with a lot of money. The Enhanced Games are the newest, most bizarre, and intriguing pro sports event out there, and it’s causing a stir. Surrounded by controversy and…
This article was originally published by Lance D. Johnson at Natural News. The United States has just approved a $108.1 million sale of maintenance equipment for the HAWK missile system to Ukraine, a transaction that reveals far more about Western military vulnerability than it does about Ukrainian strength. This is not a story about a superpower arming an ally; it is a story about a desperate scramble to keep a 1950s-era weapons platform operational because modern alternatives are too expensive, too scarce, and too slow to produce. While the Pentagon frames this as routine support for a partner nation’s self-defense,…
I confess that I didn’t even realize Florida had a significant backlog in processing concealed carry applications. The Sunshine State may be home to some Second Amendment squishes in the legislature intent on blocking the repeal of the state’s “red flag” law and other restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms, HOAs that want to to curb lawful carry, and a few anti-gun mayors eager to challenge and overturn the state’s preemption law, but I haven’t heard many complaints about folks waiting for ages before getting their carry license. Florida Ag Commissioner Wilton Simpson,…
WASHINGTON (AP) — Tulsi Gabbard resigned as President Donald Trump’s director of national intelligence on Friday, saying she needed to leave office as her husband battles cancer. She is the fourth Cabinet member to depart during Trump’s second term, all of them women. In her resignation letter, which she posted on social media, Gabbard said she told Trump she would leave her job overseeing the coordination of 18 intelligence agencies on June 30. She said her husband had recently been diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer and “faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months.” “At this…
When a tornado comes, many people head straight down the stairs to wait it out. But if you live in an apartment, a home built on a concrete slab, or a mobile home, you probably don’t have a below-ground shelter. Effective survival does not include hoping for what you don’t have. It is about building a plan with options, and knowing exactly what to do with the space you do have. Ability and confidence come from having a solid plan before the sky turns green. Your preparedness helps figure all of that out, stripping things down to the essentials and…
NEW DELHI (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived in India on Saturday ahead of a meeting next week with his counterparts from India, Australia, and Japan, members of the Indo-Pacific strategic alliance known as the Quad. Rubio’s first official trip to India comes as Washington seeks to stabilize relations with New Delhi after ties soured over President Donald Trump’s tariff policies, which raised duties on several Indian exports. Much of Rubio’s four-day visit, however, will focus on a multicity tour, along with a gala reception in New Delhi marking the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence. “There’s a…
In Virginia, Democrats campaigned as moderates who wanted to focus on things like affordability. Taking office, though, they pivoted toward gun control and trying to gerrymander the state. The latter failed, but they’ve made the former happen with alarming speed.As we head into the midterms, though, the subject of guns, gun rights, and gun control will likely crop up here and there. We know where most Democrats will be staking their flags on the issue, and honestly, it looks like that might be pretty stupid of them.Stephen Gutowski at The Reload sent out his weekly…
