Too many great games exist. If somebody spends every waking minute of their life playing video games, they might experience about 15% of the worthwhile projects released over the decades, and that’s an optimistic figure. Simply put, everyone misses out on a couple of masterpieces that fly under their radar or get buried in their endless backlog. Don’t let these brilliant FPS games be among them. Especially on PC, first-person shooters are so plentiful that only a couple of titles per year manage to stick their heads out of the crowd to announce their presence. A couple of classics aside,…
Fact-checkers like to portray themselves as disinterested investigators, a modern-day version of Joe Friday of “Dragnet,” seeking only the truth and attempting to shield you from misinformation. In reality, especially when it comes to reporting involving firearms, they’re more like Barney Fife of “The Andy Griffith Show,”—a bumbling incompetent. It would be funny. If it wasn’t a serious problem.Like Fife, who can only be trusted with a single bullet that must be kept in his buttoned-down shirt pocket—not his gun—when a fact-checker attempts to determine the truth or falsity of a claim involving firearms or…
Following widespread criticism about interim Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Bill Pulte taking over the reins, President Donald Trump has announced a new person to take the helm: Jay Clayton. It presents a stark shift from what the president indicated just 10 days ago, when he announced via a Truth Social post that the 38-year-old Pulte—currently the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and chair of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac—would fill the vacancy left by the outgoing director, Tulsi Gabbard, who has publicly stated that her husband’s bone cancer diagnosis has impacted her abilities to properly oversee 18 intel agencies.…
Keeping students safe is as universal of a goal as you’re going to find in such a divided country. The problem, however, is that we’re divided to a point that we can’t even agree on how to keep them safe. Some people want to restrict the rights of ordinary people to such a degree that they can delude themselves into thinking students can’t be hurt by violent people. The rest of us recognize that violent people aren’t going to be stopped with laws. If they were, the laws against hurting kids would be more than…
Modern vehicles grow more complex and more computerized with every passing model year, and that complexity is starting to show up in the form of increasing dependability issues, even at Toyota, long the industry benchmark for durability. Recent recall actions tied to the automaker’s new twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V6, which serves as a V8 replacement across high-volume body-on-frame models, including the latest Lexus GX, have only sharpened the concern. 2010-2023 Lexus GX: All The Specs The second-generation Lexus GX debuted in the US for the 2010 model year as the GX 460 and remained on sale with only incremental updates until…

ISLAMABAD (AP) — The United States and Iran are close to signing an agreement aimed at ending their war, three regional officials told The Associated Press on Friday. A senior U.S. official said the tentative deal includes terms for removing and destroying nuclear material from Iran. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi posted Friday on X that an agreement “has never been closer.” He gave no details, saying a final deal was still pending. The apparent breakthrough in negotiations comes after Iran exchanged fire with the U.S. and Israel over three days this week, threatening to return the Middle East to…
A PCS move involves lots of moving parts, like housing decisions and relocation logistics. One area that’s easy to overlook is homeowners insurance. While most homeowners assume their coverage remains in place during a move, PCS orders can create insurance gaps that leave your home, personal belongings, and finances at risk. Whether you’re selling your home, renting it out, or leaving it vacant during deployment, your insurance needs often change. Understanding how PCS moves affect home insurance can help you avoid denied claims, unexpected costs, and coverage gaps. What Happens to Homeowners Insurance During a PCS? Your military homeowners insurance…
Massachusetts’ restrictive gun control laws failed to stop a violent felon from illegally arming himself and opening fire on a busy Cambridge thoroughfare last month, and now the state’s draconian gun laws have once again had a high-profile failure after a pair of juveniles held up a lemonade stand in south Boston run by a pair of youngsters. The 12-year-old boy and 11-year-old girl were robbed of about $80 on Wednesday afternoon by two masked individuals who are thought to be not much older than their victims. The police put out a public call Thursday afternoon…
Ukrainian drone strikes on refineries, depots and pipelines. Tanker trucks attacked and left ablaze along the land corridor from Russia to Crimea. Motorists waiting in long lines at gas stations. In a new blow to the Kremlin’s narrative that Moscow is winning the 4-year-old war in Ukraine, Kyiv’s forces have targeted supplies to Crimea, triggering the worst fuel crisis on the Black Sea peninsula since it was illegally annexed by Russia in 2014. The persistent attacks reflect the growing intensity and efficiency of Ukraine’s drone strikes and have caught Russia off guard and struggling for a response. As the country…

For veterans Rachel Hughes and Michael Deardorff, relief from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the physical toll of serving in the military was somewhat unexpectedly relieved by a four-legged friend. Hughes, an Army veteran, and Deardorff, who served in the Marine Corps, both received service dogs through Dogs, Inc., a company providing highly trained companion dogs to veterans. Hughes, who retired as a master sergeant after 22 years in the Army, was matched with Byner in 2023. The dog not only helps Hughes manage her PTSD, but he also gives her motivation to get out of bed each morning and…

The US Virgin Islands is one of the most anti-gun territories in the United States. They seem to have no respect for gun rights, with might not be relevant if they weren’t a US territory and thus subject to the Constitution. I’m not sure the lawmakers there really seem to understand that, though, with their history of gun-grabbing, but it doesn’t make it any less true. And they’re at it again, this time with a bill containing numerous provisions, including a “vampire rule.”That’s led the Second Amendment Foundation to tell them they really should back…
Ohio gun owners who feel the need to temporarily remove firearms from their home will soon be able to turn to gun stores or their local police departments for help. Lawmakers in both the House and Senate have unanimously agreed to allow “any owner of a lawfully possessed firearm or a person authorized by the owner of a lawfully possessed firearm” to store a firearm with a federally licensed firearms dealer or with a law enforcement agency “upon application and agreement.” These voluntary off-site storage measures are, thankfully, becoming increasingly popular in red states as…
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday he had called off new military strikes on Iran, suggesting progress had been made in talks to end the war just hours after the American leader threatened to escalate the conflict by seizing control of Iran’s oil industry. Trump said in a social media post that he made the move after a breakthrough in negotiations, and that significant points under discussion “have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved.” The announcement came after two days of back-and-forth attacks between the U.S. and Iran had…
This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News. The Fiat Mirage and the Physical Foundation of Wealth The U.S. dollar, once the world’s reserve currency, is rotting from within because the West has lost its productive edge. As I explained in my 2024 interview with Chris Olson, bank profits dropped 44% in late 2023, and the system is straining under the weight of unpayable debt. [1] The simple truth is that paper money is a promise printed on nothing, and promises break when the issuer runs out of strength. Fiat money is just a claim slip on future energy,…
