DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A tenuous ceasefire appeared to be holding Saturday after the United States struck two Iranian oil tankers, while the country that hosts the U.S. Navy’s regional headquarters said it arrested dozens of people it alleged were linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. Attacks Friday cast doubt on the month-old ceasefire that the United States has insisted is still in effect. Washington is awaiting an Iranian response to its latest proposal for a deal to end the war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and roll back Tehran’s disputed nuclear program. The U.S. military said Friday that…
In 2020, then 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse found himself in a situation he never should have been thrust into. By that, I don’t blame him, but the rampaging mob that decided to chase a teenager in the middle of a riot. They not only knew he was armed, but one of the mob tried to disarm him during the confrontation, making it clear that Rittenhouse had reason to fear for his life. The reporting of that incident was a journalistic tragedy, though, as many people had very strong opinions as to what happened, all while being very wrong about what…
You get a lot of conveniences when living in a city apartment – proximity to schools, shopping, and services. However, when the power grid fails, look out, you’re in for some challenges. Unlike some homeowners in suburbia, you can’t just break out the generator or avail yourself of a large propane tank. The elevator may not work, the tap water may go dry, and managing sanitation may be an issue. The good news is you can prepare before anything happens. TL;DR: To prepare for a loss of utilities in an apartment, focus on space-saving water storage like a WaterBOB, use…
The U.S. Air Force is undertaking what leaders describe as its most significant overhaul of basic military training in more than seven decades. Maj. Gen. Davidson told Military.com that the effort is designed to fundamentally change how new Airmen think about their role in war. At the center of that transformation is a concept Davidson calls “airmindedness.” A mindset shift, he believes, is essential for the future fight. We had been wrestling with this identity problem for years, Davidson told Military.com. For decades, Air Force Basic Military Training (BMT) at Lackland Air Force Base, TX, has succeeded at producing disciplined…
Serving as a combat medic, which included two deployments to Afghanistan, Sean Wojciechowski served among some of the best soldiers the U.S. Army had to offer. When he left the Army after 11 years, however, Wojciechowski realized that many of the comrades he went to battle with struggled to navigate the legalities of a complex benefits system. Bottom line – Special Operations veterans weren’t getting a fair shake despite all they’ve sacrificed serving in a combat zone. That’s when Wojciechowski decided to become an advocate for fellow veterans. He pursued law school and is currently serving as an Equal Justice…

Wildlife predator management is an inherently tricky balancing act: On one hand, predators like coyotes and mountain lions are key parts of ecosystems, and on the other, they can pose threats to livestock and crops. Federal agencies like the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Department of Agriculture (USDA) have many tools at their disposal to attempt to achieve this difficult balance, and one of the most controversial ones may be returning. M-44s, devices that emit a lethal dose of sodium cyanide to kill predators, were banned under the Biden Administration, but it appears that Trump officials are attempting…
Starting on July 1, it will be illegal in Colorado to knowingly manufacture or produce “a potentially functioning firearm, unfinished frame or receiver, large-capacity magazine, or rapid-fire device” using a 3D printer… at least for most Coloradans. There are a couple of exceptions in the new law. A federally licensed firearm manufacturer can still use 3D printers, as can “an instructor or student of an accredited gunsmithing program, or an institution that operates an accredited gunsmithing program.”While Denver Democrat Rep. Lindsay Gilchrist, who sponsored the bill, claimed ““3D-printed guns and gun components are an increasing…
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — U.S. Central Command says its forces have disabled two more Iranian tankers that were trying to breach an American blockade. In a social media post on Friday, it says a U.S. Navy fighter jet fired into the smoke stacks of ships in the Gulf of Oman after they tried to pull into an Iranian port. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The United Arab Emirates said it responded to another Iranian missile barrage on Friday, hours after the U.S. said it traded fire…

Brad Tachi figured that with a decade of military experience, including time as a diver in the Navy, the path toward professional success as a civilian would be relatively smooth. But Tachi received a stark reality check when he spent a year and a half applying for countless jobs and getting next to nothing in return. Then a light bulb turned on for the Navy veteran. His resume was not designed to attract civilian work. More specifically, it wasn’t tailored to the jobs he really wanted. While his military career stood out, the language on his resume was filled with…

U.S. defense officials said Tuesday that U.S. forces have now actively escorted vessels through the Strait of Hormuz and are coordinating the movement of hundreds more ships after Iranian attacks trapped more than 1,500 vessels, and tens of thousands of mariners, in one of the world’s most critical energy corridors. “Project Freedom,” ordered Sunday by President Donald Trump and executed by U.S. Central Command, began May 4 and is aimed at restoring the flow of global commerce in a region transporting roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil supply. It involves roughly 15,000 U.S. service members supporting the mission, giving commanders…
Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, reveals that GTA 6 will launch on consoles before PC because that player base is its core audience. Fans across the world have been hyped since the first trailer for GTA 6 was revealed on December 4, 2023. It quickly became the most viewed non-music video on YouTube in less than 24 hours, with many gamers sharing their excitement for the game on social media. Since then, GTA 6 has received a second trailer and a few delays, with the game now coming out on November 19, 2026. By now, eagle-eyed fans have dissected…
So long as you’re complying with the laws of your state, you can carry a firearm in national parks or forests. This is good, because some of that property has some dangerous critters, and some of them are the two-legged variety. Being able to protect yourself is a good thing. Unfortunately, not all public land, even federally owned public land, goes by the same rules.For instance, property owned by the Army Corps of Engineers, which includes a lot of lakes and such that people enjoy for outdoor recreation, is still gun-free. That creates a problem,…
For many military families, the teenage driving years arrive faster than expected. One minute you’re installing car seats, and the next you’re in the passenger seat reminding your teenager to check their mirrors. At some point, many families start asking the same question: Should we buy our teenager their own car? Like many things in military life, the answer isn’t simple. Frequent moves, changing duty stations and different transportation needs can make the decision more complicated than it might be for civilian families. While a car can provide independence and convenience, it also comes with financial and practical considerations. And…
If you’ve been prepping for more than, say, a day, you know to stockpile things like food, water, and first aid supplies. That’s the easy to remember stuff, right?

One of the toughest things to do, seemingly, is figuring out how to end a video game. A game can have one of the best stories around, even compared to movies, but if things go badly in the final act, it can alienate fans. Some of the following games have divisive endings that may have done just that, but no one can deny how shocked they were upon originally finishing up these games. Some examples include something recent, like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, something a bit older, like Spec Ops: The Line. Those games and more will be ranked based…
This article was originally published by Willow Tohi at Natural News. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres declared that billions in U.S.-assessed contributions are legally binding and cannot be tied to reform conditions. Washington reportedly circulated diplomatic notes demanding nine “quick-hit” reforms, including cost-cutting measures and limits on Chinese influence. Proposed U.S. conditions include pension system overhaul, travel restrictions, senior staff cuts, and blocking China from discretionary funds. Guterres acknowledged ongoing reform efforts but insisted funding obligations and structural changes must remain separate issues. U.N. faces severe financial strain, with the United States having paid only $160 million of more than $4…
Not living in California, I’m not familiar with Turner’s Outdoorsman as a store. It’s just not something I’m going to come across on the opposite side of the nation, apparently, which is fine. I respect any chain store that’s able to sell guns widely in such an anti-gun state. But it seems the latest would-be Trump assassin got one of his guns at one of the chain’s locations, and that sparked The Trace to spring into action.And by “spring into action,” I mean engage in some alarmism about the chain.Eight months before Cole Tomas Allen…
