The funeral of Lindsey Graham, an infamous war-mongering senator, was full of more “gifts” and a celebration of war. In fact, Vladimir Zelensky, Ukraine’s ruler, and Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s ruler, led a procession at United States Senator Lindsey Graham’s funeral service. Zelensky described Graham as a “true friend” of the war-loving Ukraine. As for Netanyahu, Graham was also a close friend and ally, having a habit of cozing up to countries hell-bent on being in a constant state of war. In fact, Graham bragged earlier this year about “coaching [Netanyahu] on how to lobby [Trump] for action” against Iran. In additional…
Retired U.S. Army Sgt. Maj. Mary L. Autrey of Indianapolis, Indiana, never imagined she would receive a national honor for volunteering out of the goodness of her heart. She’s the first “Hero” in the HeroByApp™ Community Heroes Program, established to celebrate veterans, first responders, teachers and everyday change makers who are considered unsung heroes in communities across the country. For Autrey, her work has been a natural next step after her distinguished military career. “I am just so excited about this. I mean, it is just amazing,” Autrey said in an interview with Military.com. “This is the first award that’s…
I’ll be honest. I didn’t realize that Nancy Sinatra was still with us, but at the ripe old age of 86 the songstress is alive and well and sharing hot takes on social media. Sinatra received a lot of responses after expressing her desire to “eliminate all guns” in a post responding to another pro-gun control X user. Eliminate the guns. The founding fathers did not know about automatic weapons. https://t.co/37E5dQp1jm— Nancy Sinatra (@NancySinatra) July 27, 2026No, the Founding Fathers didn’t know about automatic weapons. They also didn’t know about the Internet, social media, or smartphones.…
Open-world RPGs usually occupy a conflicted spot, having to balance the freedom to go almost anywhere with gripping character-driven narratives that keep players hooked and dedicated to their overarching goal. While it’s not unusual for such games to lean more heavily toward one aspect, like Elden Ring trading classic storytelling for something more subtle, there are also great open-world role-playing games that walk the perfect line between these core pillars. That said, certain studios have become all but synonymous with superb stories placed into vast worlds driven by freedom and curiosity, CD Projekt Red in particular. By mastering the narrative…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream under the title: On August 12th We Will Witness A Total Solar Eclipse, A Rare Parade Of 6 Planets, And The Peak Of The Perseid Meteor Shower It is not often that we get to experience three major celestial events on the exact same day. On August 12th, a rare parade of 6 planets will be visible before sunrise. Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn, and Neptune will all be lined up across the morning sky. The only planet that we will not get to see…

A half-ton machine narrow enough to enter a confined tunnel may look like specialized construction equipment, but Traysar sees it as the beginning of a new military operating domain.

There’s something special happening in Ohio for members of the military community. The state has been named the number one state for business by the television network CNBC, a rise from 15th place in 2022. But there’s also another number one effort underway to make Ohio the country’s most military-friendly state. JP Nauseef, president and CEO of JobsOhio, is playing a key role in helping to transform Ohio’s economy, attract major investments and create jobs with a military-first mindset. “People in Ohio value military service,” Nauseef said in an interview with Military.com. “One of the other things that we value…
For months, government officials across the country have been hearing a growing message from constituents: No AI data centers in our backyard. Controversies about the use of AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Google Gemini have become a national conversation. And AI critics point out that the infrastructure required to support these platforms has significant environmental impacts. That’s why the small Kentucky town of Cape City temporarily banned AI data centers. In May, city council members issued a 12-month moratorium to research the construction plans for a data center near the entrance to Mammoth Cave National Park. But the AI…

If you’re building out your kit for military service or elsewhere, now’s the time to scope out some sweet deals on tactical gear on Amazon. As an Amazon Associate, Military.com earns from qualifying purchases. Let’s be honest: Amazon isn’t always the best place to find quality tactical gear. Often, the e-commerce giant’s search results for tactical gear consist of Chinese-made garbage. And if you’re looking for complex technology like rifle optics or specialized gear such as tactical knee pads, you’re more likely to find it elsewhere including on OpticsPlanet or a specific retailer’s website. That said, some noteworthy deals on…
You spend weeks polishing your resume with an AI tool, walk into an interview, and get asked to explain a bullet point you can’t actually speak to because the tool wrote it, not you. Or you get caught in the hallway by a VP after a presentation and can’t answer a follow-up question, because the deck was AI-built end to end. These are the moments that torpedo promotions and job offers, and they’re happening often as veterans lean on AI to navigate an unfamiliar civilian job market. AI is a useful tool for everything from translating military experience into civilian…
One of my favorite jokes goes something like, “What do you get when you cross a moose with a hippo? An immediate cessation of your funding and a stern rebuke from the ethics committee.” Yes, that sounds like one of those “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should,” kind of moments, which is funny…until it happens. Enter the United States Marine Corps, because of course it would be the Marines.It seems someone decided to see what happens when you attach artificial intelligence to…
As Elizabeth Dole marks her 90th birthday, former Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald says her greatest legacy isn’t found in the Cabinet positions she held, the U.S. Senate seat she occupied or the national organizations she led. Instead, in an exclusive interview with Military.com, McDonald said Dole’s most enduring contribution is her decades-long commitment to recognizing, supporting and giving a voice to the millions of military and veteran caregivers whose sacrifices too often go unseen. For most Americans, Dole’s legacy is defined by a career of historic firsts. She became the first woman to serve as U.S. secretary…
Yeast is Everywhere. You Just Have to Know Where to Look. The yeast we buy in the store was invented in 1868. Before then, bakers used wild yeast to make their bread rise. The Egyptians are believed to be the first to make bread with yeast about 4,000 years ago. We’ll cover a lot of the techniques they used because we’re working with the assumption that you don’t have access to store-bought yeast and don’t have any stockpiled. Given the fact that commercial yeast has a shelf-life of 2 years, stockpiling yeast may not be an answer in the first…
A Missouri gun range has finally come out on top of a decades-long legal battle dating back to the 1980s, after the Missouri Supreme Court upheld a lower court’s decision to end an injunction that had placed tight controls on the range’s ability to operate. Fifty years ago the Glendale Shooting Club acquired some property with the intent of operating a range. A family living adjacent to the property weren’t thrilled with the prospect of gunfire coming from the club, and eventually filed suit claiming the persistent pew-pewing affected their property.In 1987 a judge on…
Most veterans with a service-connected disability who are thinking about education automatically reach for the Post-9/11 GI Bill. That instinct is understandable. The GI Bill is well known, well marketed and genuinely valuable. But for veterans who qualify for Chapter 31, Veteran Readiness and Employment — still widely called Voc Rehab — the GI Bill is often the lesser option and the one that leaves money on the table. Here is the core difference: The Post-9/11 GI Bill caps private school tuition at $29,920.95 per academic year for 2025-2026 and provides 36 months of entitlement. Chapter 31 has no tuition…
