Between graduations that benchmark the next stages in self-reliance, to forever-handy Father’s Day ideas for dad, the right multitool always makes a fitting present. Not to mention the longer days spent outdoors. They often equate to more needs on unexpected adventures, or at least more everyday projects around the house. Leatherman is leaning into the ideal timing with a promotion on its popular Wave+ and Rebar models, giving customers in the U.S. and Canada…
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…
BRUSSELS (AP) — NATO’s top military officer is weighing alternative plans to defend Europe should it come under attack from Russia, after the United States announced that it is cutting the number of aircraft and warships that it would provide in a security crisis. The so-called NATO Force Model is Plan A for making forces from the 32 member nations available in times of peace, crisis or war. It sets out the military assets that commanders can call on in phases over the first six months of any conflict. But last month, the Pentagon warned its NATO allies that it…
The United States still fields the world’s most capable airmen and some of the most advanced aircraft ever built. But according to Rep. August Pfluger, a retired Air Force fighter pilot and former F-22 Raptor pilot, the service is facing a growing challenge that Congress can no longer afford to ignore. During an interview with Military.com, Pfluger warned that the Air Force has become both the oldest and smallest in its history at a time when China is rapidly expanding its military power and the demand for American airpower continues to grow. We have the most incredible airmen, the most…

California Democrats have made exercising your Second Amendment rights an expensive and time-consuming process, but they have yet to kill off the culture of lawful gun ownership or the right to act in armed self-defense. One homeowner in San Jacinto put those rights into play this past weekend during a terrifying encounter with an armed home invader. The incident happened Friday night, just before 10:30 p.m. The homeowner had left his residence and was visiting with a neighbor when he heard the sound of gunshots and screaming from his property. As the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department…
No, I don’t think Crossman did it on purpose, but in the wake of New York state trying to ban things like BB guns simply because some criminals use replica firearms in their crimes, one might think that air gun manufacturers might try to play it a little low-key. They might try to fight the law by, say, focusing on timeless designs like Daisy’s Red Ryder or similar old-fashioned, inoffensive BB guns that generations have shot and enjoyed without incident. But I guess someone at Crossman looked at the landscape and said, “Nah. Let’s do…
More than 50 years after U.S. Air Force Maj. Robert “Bob” Lodge was killed over North Vietnam, lawmakers are backing an effort that supporters hope will ultimately result in the award of the Medal of Honor. Rep. August Pfluger (R-Texas), a decorated fighter pilot and retired Air Force colonel, introduced legislation on June 2 tied specifically to Lodge’s case that would authorize an exception to the statutory deadlines that normally govern Medal of Honor awards, allowing officials to consider whether Lodge’s actions on May 10, 1972, merit the nation’s highest military decoration despite the passage of more than five decades.…
I’ve been mountaineering, backpacking, and hiking for over 8 years, and if there’s one thing I still don’t enjoy, it’s setting up a tent. Even simple camping tents aren’t immune, and when my first proving trip with the Kelty Late Start 4P got canceled, I decided to make it happen with a backyard shakedown. Like any seasoned adventurer, I skipped the instructions as they would slow me down and went for it. Within about 5 minutes, the Late Start was fully pitched on the first try. No poles slipping out of place, no doubling back, no second-guessing the rainfly orientation,…
Everytown for Gun Safety likes to think of itself as the voice that matters in the gun debate. Oh, their anti-gun allies matter, too, I’m sure, but they like to act as if their take is the only one anyone should pay any attention to. That’s why they’re very upset that the ATF has made a number of rule change proposals that run counter to the things they want. In fairness, I understand that. I was upset when most of these rules were enacted, after all, and since they weren’t, it stands to reason that…
Exodus has been compared to Mass Effect from the moment it was revealed, and, to be fair, that was probably unavoidable. Archetype Entertainment is made up of several former BioWare developers, after all, Exodus is a choice-driven sci-fi RPG with companions, alien worlds, and a massive universe to explore, and Mass Effect is still one of the easiest reference points for that kind of game. If anything, the comparison is a compliment, especially considering how much of a mark BioWare’s own sci-fi RPG franchise left on the genre. During a recent Future Games Show showcase briefing with Archetype Entertainment and…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog under the title: The Ogallala Aquifer Is Dying – As The Largest Supply Of Groundwater In The United States Vanishes, Farmers Are Deeply Concerned About What Is Next Gigantic underground aquifers are being rapidly depleted all over the world, and once that water is gone, it will take a very long time for it to come back. In fact, in some areas of the United States, the recharge rate is less than an inch per year. That is a major problem, because more than half of the…
In 2022, the National Park Service (NPS) acquired over 16,000 acres to add to Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Since then, this area, known as Kahuku-Pōhue, has been closed to visitors as the NPS has weighed how to best balance visitor access and environmental stewardship. A newly released plan finally sheds light on the recreation opportunities here, as well as major proposed changes elsewhere in the park. The Background Located on the Big Island, Hawaiʻi Volcanoes is one of the state’s two national parks. It is a popular tourist destination, attracting nearly 2 million visitors in 2025, according to NPS data.…
