The Department of Defense (DOD) has announced two framework agreements to expand the production capacity of missile-interceptor components. The agreements, with defense companies Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin, intend to triple the production of Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) components, and quadruple the production of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) components. The frameworks come as part of the Arsenal of Freedom initiative, a defense initiative to modernize military technology. “Building the Arsenal of Freedom requires robust, dynamic supply chains at every level of the industrial base,” said Michael P. Duffey, Under Secretary of War for Acquisition and Sustainment, in a…
The 2000s was a critical time for the gaming industry. The monstrously successful PlayStation 2 arrived in 2000, with Microsoft’s first Xbox system and Nintendo’s iconic GameCube launching in North America the following year. This set the stage for a console generation marked by a fascinating three-way competition, and of course, some brilliant games. In particular, RPG fans had an embarrassment of riches to enjoy during the 2000s. Then as now, though, it’s just impossible to play all the games we’d like to. Even if you’ve been an RPG enthusiast for decades, there are some great games from this era…
I’ve written a lot about the Department of Justice’s schizophrenia on NFA registration of things like suppressors and short-barreled long guns. The registration was, originally, nothing more than a list of who paid the NFA tax. It was there so law enforcement could check and see if the suppressor they found was lawfully owned or not. Now that there’s no tax stamp on such devices, the registry has outlived its purpose.Easy enough, right?The problem is, though, that the DOJ that is going after everyone else over unconstitutional gun control laws is defending this travesty. Mark…
Complexity is the enemy of affordability, and cars have an affordability problem. An automobile has always been a big investment, but now, more than ever, the problems come once the car leaves the dealer’s lot. While an out-of-warranty repair or a minor collision was once somewhat affordable to fix, even the simplest-seeming parts of a car can cost thousands of dollars. A new bumper, for example, is no longer something simple and relatively inexpensive to replace. Cars Have Become Rolling Computers Credit: Mercedes-Benz Cars becoming rolling computers isn’t a new complaint, but we’re not talking about a fairly basic ECU chip…
The Department of Justice has launched its first litigation aimed at “sensitive places”, suing Montgomery County, Maryland for its ban on lawful concealed carry in parks, places of worship, libraries, recreational facilities, and multipurpose exhibition facilities, along with the 100-yard “buffer zone” surrounding those locations where lawful carry is also forbidden. The lawsuit follows on the heels of a similar complaint brought by a Montgomery County rabbi last week in a case supported by the New Civil Liberties Alliance. Like the DOJ’s other Second Amendment litigation, today’s lawsuit is a “pattern and practice” case brought…
Ask most Americans what the Coast Guard does, and the answer stops at helicopter rescues. That’s real, and it’s the most visible part of the job, but it’s a fraction of what the smallest of the six armed services is actually responsible for on any given day. By law, the Coast Guard operates under 11 statutory missions, ranging from stopping drug cartels to keeping the Great Lakes shipping lanes open through the winter. Here’s what that actually looks like. Drug Interdiction: The Numbers Are Genuinely Staggering The Coast Guard is the lead federal agency for maritime drug interdiction, and the…
A lot of people see the rules the ATF proposes from time to time, recognize there’s a comment period, and then ignore it. Why bother? After all, the ATF is going to do what it’s going to do. The comment period is required by law, but there doesn’t seem to be any imperative to actually listen to those comments. If there were, there are a lot of anti-gun rules that would never have gone into effect if they had been.Right now, the ATF is considering a pile of new rules, and the comment period is…

Riding a dirt bike is one of those activities that is often both very social and yet very isolating. They’re social in that you often go out riding with your buddies, and that camaraderie is one of the draws. On the other hand, you’re inevitably stuck in your helmet, which makes communication kind of tough. Until now, that is, because Cardo is introducing its Venture helmet, and spoiler alert: it’s awesome. The Helmet If you’re thinking, “Wait, Cardo? Isn’t that the company that makes those communicators that clip on the side of your street helmet?” then you’re already getting to…
A week after a Florida HOA in a massive planned community home to almost 10,000 people dropped its on carry ban in public spaces after threats of legal action from Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, another HOA has told residents their right to carry is null and void in common areas. This time around, though, the HOA in question is located in South Carolina, so Uthmeier won’t be able to ride to rescue of residents. Forest Pines Condominiums residents received an email Monday stating that firearms are not allowed in shared spaces on the property, which…
Iran would be allowed to start oil exports immediately under an interim deal with the U.S. and gain access to a $300 billion economic development program following negotiations for a permanent peace that’s meant to address Tehran’s nuclear activities, according to a draft of their agreement. The two sides plan to formally sign the memorandum of understanding on Friday in Switzerland, formalizing an agreement reached earlier and clearing the way for 60 days of talks to end the war and put strict limits on Iran’s nuclear program. The U.S. has begun circulating the text of the interim deal with allied…

The New World screwworm has spread to the United States, prompting the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to partner with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The USDA awarded a combined $105 million to 40 different projects aimed at stopping the spread of New World Screwworm. Some of these projects include dogs, artificial intelligence drones, and fungi. Twelve animal cases of screwworm have been confirmed in Texas and New Mexico. The parasite has been confirmed in cattle, sheep, goats, and a dog. Of these 12 cases, 11 are currently active. No cases have been reported in wildlife yet. New…
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The B-52 that crashed during a test flight at Edwards Air Force Base in California was in the air a very short time before slamming into the ground about halfway down the runway. All eight people aboard were killed in Monday’s fiery crash of the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress, which was taking part in a test mission as part of a program to keep the oldest aircraft in the U.S. fleet flying for decades to come. No cause has been determined. Officials at the base said it could take six months to complete the investigation. The bomber…

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger got her gun control dog and pony show on Tuesday, hosting anti-gun activists for a ceremonial bill signing for multiple pieces of legislation that she had already approved. A pair of gun control-loving lawmakers were denied the chance to participate in the photo-op, however, after the governor had her staff boot the legislators for daring to take part in a listening tour about data centers hosted by the governor’s biggest Democrat nemesis, state Sen. Louise Lucas. They were allowed back in to get their stuff and staff and told they could stay…
Another month is on the horizon, which means it’s time for another wave of games to be removed from the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium plans, with 12 games on the chopping block for July 2026. PS Plus continually offers free games for its Extra and Premium subscribers, adding and removing titles month to month, with a recent change in June 2026 that drastically changed how these games are delivered throughout the month. Sony typically delivers its PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium games in bulk each month, letting fans binge whatever games they want as soon as they drop; however,…
