SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un put his second naval destroyer into service and called for building a more reliable nuclear deterrent, state media reported Monday, as the United States, South Korea and Japan began a trilateral military exercise he views as a security threat. The ship’s commissioning comes as North Korea is dialing up pressure on the U.S. after rebuffing President Donald Trump’s decision to scale back a major military drill with South Korea in a conciliatory step toward Kim. Observers say North Korea wants to wrest bigger U.S. concessions. The destroyer Kang Kon…
The U.S. military denied that Iran struck an uncrewed American military vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, calling the claim a “total lie.” A top Iranian official said Tehran plans to announce an “exclusion zone” outside the Strait of Hormuz aimed at vessels it believes are attempting to transit the waterway. Meanwhile, Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon killed seven people and leveled a vacant hospital, according to Lebanese authorities, near an area that has become a flash point in fighting between Israel and the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah. Here’s a look at the latest news in the Middle East. Full…
Jules and Gédéon Naudet were making a documentary about a rookie New York firefighter when the Sept. 11 attacks happened. Their project became a record of the rescue effort inside the World Trade Center, filmed by people who had no way of knowing what would happen next. Twenty-five years later, footage like theirs still has something to tell us. So do the accounts of Pentagon survivors and families who have spent the years since living with a loss the rest of the country remembers each September. For veterans of the wars that followed, that history can be deeply personal. These…

Days before the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, a military judge excluded what prosecutors called their best account from the man accused of planning them. Air Force Lt. Col. Michael Schrama ruled Aug. 28 that statements Khalid Sheikh Mohammed gave FBI agents at Guantanamo Bay in January 2007 were involuntary, according to CBS News. The ruling suppresses the confession; it does not dismiss the charges or decide Mohammed’s guilt. He and three co-defendants still face a capital military commission now scheduled to begin in June 2028. Why the FBI Interview Failed Mohammed’s disputed confession came from four days…

Ask anyone the kinds of things that preppers stockpile and you’ll hear the same things every time: food, water, flashlights, batteries, first aid kits, etc. These things are the foundation of any serious prepper plan, and for good reason. They’re things that will keep you alive when the power goes out or the store shelves empty. But there’s another category of gear that a lot of experienced preppers rarely bring up in conversation. These are things that don’t make it into the typical beginner checklists, not because they’re useless, but because they sit in a legal gray area or carry…

A couple of days ago, I wrote about a guy bringing a knife to a gunfight. Yes, it’s a cliché, but it’s also funny, so I’m going to mock such people because they deserve it. But what about something even dumber? Like, say, they think they’re a dwarf from Dungeons & Dragons and arm themselves accordingly? That’s what happened with one Florida Man.No, seriously, it sure looks like he thought he was a fantasy race or something, because his weapon selection left a lot to be desired.On Monday night, deputies responded to a property along Lake…

Isaac Richey is a victim of New York’s SAFE Act and his rights were taken away. Richey filed for a summary judgment in his years-long battle, hoping to gain relief. In 2019 Richey was stationed in New York while in the military. As previously reported, Richey voluntarily sought mental health help while he was having a rough time in his life. That admission led to Richey being treated as if he were involuntarily committed. Portions of New York’s SAFE Act include provisions where medical professionals have the power to permanently disqualify people from firearm ownership.…
