It doesn’t matter how much you believe EVs are not the future, you can’t deny the impact the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N has had on the performance EV market. With one humble family crossover-turned-hot-hatch (even if it’s not really a hot hatch), Hyundai’s N division proved to the world that EVs can be fun, even if they need to pretend to be combustion cars to do it. Patent filings do not guarantee the use of such technology in future vehicles and are often used exclusively as a means of protecting intellectual property. Such a filing cannot be construed as confirmation…
When it comes to suppressors, the marketing tends to focus on decibel ratings and exotic materials, but one of the most practical decisions you’ll make is also one of the most overlooked: how long do you want your firearm to be? The compact versus full-size debate cuts across rifles, pistols, and PCCs alike, and like most things in the shooting world, there’s no universally correct answer. What works great for a backcountry hunter packing miles into a remote area might be completely wrong for a competition shooter running a heavy precision rig or someone with a suppressed PCC for home…
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla has accused the United States of inventing an excuse to start an economic war with Havana. Rodriguez Parrilla has said that an Axios report claiming that the island had acquired attack drones from Russia and Iran is nothing more than a pretext for a potential invasion of the island nation. The Axios report claimed that Cuba has acquired more than 300 military drones since 2023 and recently began discussing plans to use them to attack the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay, U.S. military vessels, and possibly Key West, Florida, which is only 90 miles…
Wetlands are environmental superheroes: They improve water quality, manage erosion, sequester carbon, and house one-third of all endangered and threatened species. With so many benefits, the more wetlands preserved, the better off nature is. And this week, thousands of acres received new protections. On May 19, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced millions in funding that would go toward preserving or enhancing over 185,000 acres of wetlands. And nestled within that announcement was the acquisition of another 5,254 acres across three wildlife refuges: one in Texas, one in Virginia, and one in Illinois. How It Works Passed in 1989,…
Illinois is one of a handful of states that require a permission slip to simply keep a gun in the home, and though circuit court judges in the state have previously ruled the Firearm Owners ID card requirement unconstitutional, those decisions were tossed out by the Illinois Supreme Court on technical grounds. Now a lawsuit has been filed in federal court challenging the FOID mandate. Fox News reports that the New Civil Liberties Alliance and three individual plaintiffs are suing to have the law struck down as a violation of the Second and Fourteenth Amendments. Two…
WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Marco Rubio will travel this week to a NATO foreign ministers meeting in Sweden, where U.S. plans to reduce troop levels in Europe coupled with President Donald Trump’s often inconsistent stance on the alliance have created concern while the world grapples with the fallout from the Iran war and rising energy prices. The State Department said Tuesday that Rubio would attend the NATO meeting in Helsingborg on Friday, one of the last senior-level NATO gatherings before alliance leaders meet at a summit in Ankara, Turkey, in July. Rubio will then travel on to India…
The World Health Organization has declared a “global health emergency” after an Ebola outbreak surfaced in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). So far, there are at least eight confirmed cases, 246 suspected infections, and 80 suspected deaths reported in DRC, along with two additional cases in Uganda. Red Cross volunteers have already been going door-to-door to share health information. They are also helping to identify suspected cases, support contact tracing, and combat misinformation surrounding the outbreak. The DRC and Uganda confirmed their first Ebola cases on Friday. On the same day, the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention…
The heir to a multibillion-dollar retail business was arrested this week in connection with his father’s death. In 2024, Jonathan Andic was hiking with his father, Isak, in the Montserrat Mountains near Barcelona, Spain, when Isak fell down a steep embankment, tumbling 300 feet. The 71-year-old founder of fast-fashion retailer Mango died at the scene. Initially, his death was investigated as an accident. But in 2025, police announced that the case had become a homicide investigation. Jonathan, the primary heir to his father’s business fortune, was singled out as a suspect. He was the only one with his father when he fell,…
Luigi Mangione is alleged to have committed one of the most brutal acts of violence we’ve seen in ages. He walked up to a man he had no connection to, who wasn’t a political figure or even a particularly public one, and shot him in the back. Why? Reportedly, it was because of the actions of the company the victim ran, UnitedHealthcare. While the insurance company did some absolutely skeevy crap, it wasn’t grounds for murder. Following the killing, Mangione was caught and arrested, and a gun and notebook were found in his backpack that tied…
I’ve spent a lot of time behind glass over the years, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that high magnification binoculars are only as useful as your ability to hold them steady. At 16x, even the slightest hand tremor turns a crisp image into an abstract blur. That’s exactly the problem Sig Sauer set out to solve with the ZULU6 HDX OIS 16x42mm binoculars, and after putting these through their paces for several months, I can tell you they’ve done a remarkable job of it. Out of the box, the ZULU6 HDX binos carry that unmistakable Sig Sauer…
We’re learning more details about the two teenage suspects who authorities say are responsible for a shooting at San Diego’s largest mosque on Monday that resulted in the murders of three men. According to officials, the 17 and 18-year-old (who will not be named by Bearing Arms) who carried out the attack took their own lives after fleeing the mosque. Police first became aware of one of the teens when his mom contacted police to report a runaway. During the course of that conversation, authorities learned that several of the mom’s firearms were missing, as…
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth traveled to Kentucky this week to campaign against Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, in a move that has raised Hatch Act questions. Hegseth appeared at a rally for Republican challenger Ed Gallrein in Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District after President Donald Trump publicly targeted Massie over disagreements involving foreign policy and spending, in addition to Massie being on the forefront of wanting to fully release the so-called Epstein files. Promotional materials and local media coverage advertised the event using Hegseth’s official title, rather than presenting him merely as a private political activist. The administration…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge under the title Oil Slides After Iran Says US Agreed To Lift Oil Sanctions During Talks, Long-Term ‘Nuclear Freeze’ On Table Summary A flurry of (the somewhat typically-timed) Monday opener headlines has pushed oil prices lower, erasing weekend gains, including Al Arabia reporting that Iran is ready to accept a long-term nuclear freeze. Iran has submitted its latest proposal comprising 14-points through Pakistan, amid reports that the US has offered to lift sanctions on Iranian oil during the interim negotiating period. Reports further add that Russia’s offer to take and hold Iran’s…
The so-called vampire rule was, perhaps, one of the most idiotic concepts in American law. With the vampire rule, no other civil liberty is presumed to be restricted in a privately owned business other than the right to keep and bear arms. It’s called that because vampires have to be invited inside, much like gun owners in states like New York are. And, the state got smacked down pretty hard on Monday.As Cam noted yesterday, the Second Circuit isn’t exactly a pro-gun court, which means it has to be pretty egregious for them to call…
BEIJING (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin is traveling to China to meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping less than a week after U.S. President Donald Trump wrapped up his own trip to Beijing. Putin is scheduled to be in China on Tuesday and Wednesday in a visit likely to be closely watched as Beijing seeks to maintain stable relations with the United States while also preserving strong ties with Russia. The Kremlin has said Putin and Xi plan to discuss economic cooperation between the two countries, but also “key international and regional issues.” The visit coincides with the 25th…

Fred Minnick was at his wits’ end. The Army veteran had tried just about every form of therapy. Nothing worked. Nothing could stem the crushing tide of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that consumed his life. With nowhere else to turn, the Iraq War veteran believed he was left with three outcomes: prison, homelessness or ending his life by suicide. He tried that too. Still, nothing could strip away the pain. Until one day, a breakthrough. Determined to feel better, Minnick sat in the office of a Veterans Affairs therapist, like he had done many times before. But today was different.…

Derek Kolstad refers to his Hollywood rise as an “overnight success” that took 15 years to achieve. The acclaimed screenwriter known for writing and creating the popular film series John Wick starring Keanu Reeves, and more recently the Nobody movies starring Bob Odenkirk, spoke with Military.com on how he navigated a turbulent entertainment industry to ultimately reach his goals. A recent press tour as part of the latest film he wrote, NORMAL, also starring Odenkirk, led to an April 24 USO visit with Marines at Camp Pendleton.

Liberty University’s 14th annual Military Graduate Recognition Ceremony celebrated a record-breaking number of military graduates. Held at Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Va., on Thursday, the gathering was nearly standing room only. “When faced with the demands of full and often overwhelming military life, alongside the pursuit of your education, you chose both. That is worthy of recognition,” said Ret. Maj. and Chaplain Brian Harvey, the assistant director of Liberty’s Center for Chaplaincy, in his welcome remarks to the graduates, which were streamed online and viewed by Military.com. Liberty University holds 14th annual Military Graduate Recognition Ceremony (Liberty University).…
