When Microsoft launched the original Xbox in 2001, the video game industry changed forever, and its impact is still felt more than 25 years later. Three successors, the Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, eventually followed, all of which had their highs and controversies. Currently, Xbox is probably at its lowest point ever, and there are even fears that Microsoft might move out of the console business sooner or later. Will there ever be a fifth console, as the rumors suggest, or will it be something entirely new, like an app downloadable on a computer similar to Xbox…
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is hardly a Second Amendment squish, but one his latest moves is actually drawing praise from the gun control lobby. On Wednesday, the governor vetoed SB 204, a bill meant to strengthen the state’s firearm preemption law by adding the word “storage” to the list of gun-owning activities that localities are not allowed to regulate. The bill was a response to the city of Savannah’s ordinance that allows for misdemeanor charges against anyone who leaves a firearm in an unlocked vehicle, which has also led to lat least one lawsuit by Second Amendment groups.

Georgia election officials told Military.com that military and overseas absentee ballots will not be affected by the state’s transition away from QR-code ballot tabulation, while voting experts warn that last-minute election changes may still create confusion for voters who rely on strict deadlines, mail systems, and limited opportunities to fix ballot problems. Concerns stem from Georgia’s 2024 decision to ban QR codes from being used to tabulate ballots, a move that followed years of claims from election skeptics that the technology could be used to manipulate vote counts. The state set a July 1, 2026, deadline to end the use…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. On Monday morning, the front page of the Drudge Report featured a very alarming two-word headline in all capital letters: “INFLATION ACCELERATES”. Of course, that headline was 100% accurate. Prices are rising, and our seemingly endless cost-of-living crisis is beginning to accelerate once again. I have heard from many of you that are not happy with what economic conditions are like now, and you are really not going to be happy with what is going to happen in the months to come. The closure of the Strait…
A few years ago, it seemed like a week didn’t go by when I didn’t write about someone in the gun industry being deplatformed by their bank. This was an incredibly common occurrence, spurred on by New York state officials’ hostility toward the right to keep and bear arms. Since New York City is the financial capital of the world, those officials seemed to scare bankers into playing ball. But that was then, this is now. Since then, major steps have been undertaken to try to prevent that from happening.Unfortunately, we now know that Capital…

Seventy-five years after a U.S. Air Force transport plane disappeared over the Yukon with 44 people aboard, a team of volunteers and investigators plans to use artificial intelligence and satellite technology to find it. The Douglas C-54 Skymaster departed Elmendorf Air Force Base on January 26, 1950, carrying 42 service members and Joyce Espe, a pregnant military wife traveling with her toddler son for medical care. Two hours into the flight, the crew radioed that ice was forming on the wings, but conditions were otherwise normal. The plane never made its next check-in and vanished without a trace. After an…

With both sunny summer days and Memorial Day on the horizon, Team RWB (Red, White, and Blue) has come up with a plan to get people moving while honoring soldiers lost in battle. On May 1, the nonprofit organization launched “Memorial Minutes,” a fitness initiative challenging Americans to move 40 minutes every day through Memorial Day, paying homage to fallen service members. Team RWB’s goal is to rack up 1.3 million minutes, logging one minute for every soldier killed in action over the last 250 years, culminating with the United States’ milestone anniversary. Participants can take part in several activities,…

Navy Veteran Merle Ritter once told his family that he never had many birthday parties growing up. As a kid, his parents treated birthdays like any other day. Then the great depression set in, making birthdays even lower on the priority list. “It’s kind of sad when you think about it,” said Elaine Damewood, Ritter’s niece, in an interview with Military.com. “But I think we’ve more than made up for it in his later years.” Those later years came to a head on May 8, 2026, when Ritter, a veteran of World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam…
