CAIRO (AP) — A U.S. missile hit a home in southern Iran where dozens were gathered to celebrate the wedding of a fisherman’s daughter, according to a rights group and Iranian media. Iranian state media said four people — two women and two children — were killed and more than 60 were wounded. The rights group said one of the children, a teenager, was killed by another strike on a nearby communications tower. Heavy explosions shook the coastal town of Kuhestak on the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, and security footage carried by Iran’s semiofficial Fars news agency showed fireballs…

Hung Cao said President Donald Trump nominating him as the long-term Navy secretary is the “honor of a lifetime.” Trump nominated Cao, who currently serves as the acting Navy secretary, in a social media post on Tuesday night, after he fired his predecessor, John Phelan, a big Trump donor who was terminated in April for reasons including slowed shipbuilding schedules. “We need Patriots like Hung leading our Navy and Marine Corps, and I can think of no one better than him to make sure our Great Navy and Marine Corps remain the FIERCEST and BEST Force the World has ever…

The copper bull market has become much bigger than copper. This is rapidly becoming a do-or-die industrial challenge for the Western world. America wants AI supremacy. It wants gigantic data centers, new electrical grids, semiconductor fabs, autonomous factories, robots, drones, missiles, nuclear plants and a manufacturing renaissance. There is one problem: Almost everything America wants to build requires copper. And Washington has finally recognized copper as a national-security issue. ·        President Trump imposed Section 232 tariffs on copper products after determining that excessive import dependence threatened U.S. national security. In 2026, Washington strengthened the regime further: most covered copper products now…

Granite City, Illinois, looks to be just a little across the border from Saint Louis, Missouri. That’s a rough town, and while I can’t say that Granite City is as bad, I can say it has had its moments. For example, recently officers were forced to shoot and kill a suspect after he refused to comply with orders to drop his weapons — a handgun and a replica rifle of some sort.But while that is unpleasant, it’s not what grabbed my attention.No, that was the deceased’s history.According to court documents, Cerentano had a criminal history…

A built-in support system often does a lot of the heavy lifting for military families with a neurodivergent member. The Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) flags your family’s needs and factors them into assignments. Tricare and its Extended Care Health Option cover therapies that would cost a fortune anywhere else. Respite hours show up every month. And all around you is a community that does not flinch when your kid has a minor meltdown in the commissary — half of them have been there, too. Then one day, you separate, and much of what you built evaporates. Often this happens…

Warsh is Worried… Kevin Warsh spoke on Friday. Gold and silver SOLD OFF big on his remarks. In fact, gold closed below its 200-DMA, which means I must discuss what’s likely to happen next. We’re entering two of the most important economic periods in world history right now and it is essential to understand the IMMINENT DANGER. I have been discussing the September-October market sell-off at length throughout the summer, so to recap my concern: China’s economy is in free fall, which means it isn’t buying Treasuries. Between Japan’s financial crisis and China’s, the two foreign holders of U.S. debt…

A federal appeals court has ruled that a district judge lacked the authority to throw out the 2017 court-martial conviction of former Army soldier Bowe Bergdahl for desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. Bowe Bergdahl left his post in Afghanistan in 2009 and was held by Taliban-allied fighters for about five years before a 2014 prisoner swap. He had his conviction vacated in 2023 by U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton. On Tuesday, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated that decision and ordered the case dismissed, concluding that only military tribunals…

Lately, Facebook has been filling my feed with leftist jackwagons saying really stupid stuff. Granted, some of this has turned out to provide fodder to write about, so I guess it’s not all bad. Still, I’d like a little less of the anti-gun echo chamber in my feed. Luckily, for once, Facebook provided. It’s a really good explanation of just how dumb gun-free zones actually are.I mean, isn’t that what anti-gunners seem to think happens? A couple of heavily armed men approach, nefarious intentions obvious, but then they see the gun-free zone sign and suddenly…

A federal judge has upheld a multimillion-dollar jury verdict, effectively awarding a U.S. Army veteran $6.6 million in damages stemming from a 2019 encounter with Los Angeles Police. The veteran, Slade Douglas, 49, was successful in his case after U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong rejected a bid by the city and two Los Angeles Police Department officers to throw out the verdict, according to Courthouse News Service. The jury had found that officers unlawfully detained Douglas in August 2019, after a call he made to a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) crisis line set off a chain of events…

Annually, Walk the Talk America has conducted an important survey. This year’s “Guns AND Mental Health Survey” rolled out on Sept. 1 and runs until Sept. 30. Consider taking it. Every year since they’ve been conducting these surveys, we’ve been supportive of them. While WTTA is not a “professional” survey company, that does not mean that the work that they’re doing isn’t meaningful. As their team gathers more data, the better enabled they are to help aid gun owners when it comes to potentially harmful policy. This year’s survey runs for a month and we…

In a scene reminiscent of Star Wars, the U.S. military’s Joint Task Force – Southern Border (JTF-SB) carried out a futuristic technological mission last week. U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) used a high-energy laser system pointed to the sky over the U.S.-Mexico border to disable and ultimately down several drones linked to the Mexican drug cartel. Mexican drug cartels are a powerful, highly organized criminal enterprise that control the multi-billion-dollar global drug trade with deep influence across Mexico and other international markets. Besides narcotics, cartels generate massive profits through human smuggling, extortion, illegal mining, fuel theft, and other black-market economies. Former…

More than 250,000 new veterans have reportedly enrolled in health care so far this year with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The VA said in a statement Tuesday that more than 1.4 million veterans who joined VA health care this year have had or scheduled medical appointments, including more than 300,000 mental health appointments and more than 12,000 emergency care visits. The VA calculates new health care enrollment when a veteran’s Form 10-10EZ is approved and assigned a priority group. ​​​​​ The Veterans Health Administration and Defense Health Agency hosted the Immersive Health Care Technology Demo Day at the…
