We all pray that we never have to discharge our firearms in defense of our lives or the lives of someone else. Hell, most of us pray we never even have to draw our firearms. Unfortunately, I’ve had to a couple of times, though you have no idea how thankful I am that I didn’t have to pull the trigger either time. In both cases, I was anything but cool and calm. Not internally, anyway. I had a million thoughts running through my head and my heart was racing. I was scared that everything was…
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson insists that the reason murder is on the rise in his city is Donald Trump’s refusal to spend billions of dollars on “gun violence prevention” programs across the United States, including in the Windy City. The biggest problem with that argument is that Chicago is an outlier, and homicides are down by nearly 20% this year nationwide.

BEIRUT (AP) — Hezbollah’s leader on Saturday criticized a framework agreement that Israel and Lebanon signed a day earlier to end months of conflict between the militant group and Israel, raising concerns about its effectiveness. Lebanon and Israel signed the deal in Washington on Friday without Hezbollah.

Several previous ceasefire agreements that Lebanon has negotiated with Israel since the outbreak of the latest Israel-Hezbollah war were never implemented on the ground. In a statement Saturday, Hezbollah leader Naim Kassem said his group will keep…

The Pentagon made a deal with Scouting America in February that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said would refocus the organization away from diversity initiatives and other “woke” policies. Hegseth threatened…
There was a time, not so long ago, when earning three associate degrees and pursuing a bachelor’s degree seemed like an unreachable dream to Navy veteran Isaiah Franco. After all, his goal of a long career in the military was cruelly snuffed out after he suffered a traumatic brain injury. Franco knew he needed to regroup and find his next passion, but how? As a first-generation college student, he lacked family support and wasn’t sure if he would be able to earn one degree, let alone three. That’s when the Foundation for California Community Colleges (Foundation CCC) stepped in with…

Currently, farmers are using less fertilizer than usual, and that will affect the price of food significantly come harvest season. So what do we do? First of all, don’t panic-buy. Instead, what you want to do…
