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…
If you receive Department of Veterans Affairs disability payments, then for 2026, you received a 2.8% raise in your benefits. These are the dates you get those monthly checks. Disability benefit payments for a particular month are paid on the first business day of the following month. When the first day of that month falls on a non-business day or a holiday, VA benefits will be paid on the last business day of the preceding month. Here is the VA disability payment schedule for 2026 to help you plan your finances. 2026 VA Disability Payment Schedule Month Payment Date Day…
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…
She says it was self-defense. Police say it was cold-blooded murder. 35-year-old Ashley Ruhland has been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of 49-year-old Justin Emmick. The Sioux City, Iowa resident was killed on July 29 in a remote spot on his 30-acre property, accessible only by foot and ATVs. According to authorities, Ruhland had been staying with Emmick, but also had an active order of protection against him. That’s odd enough, but if you’re really in fear of your life then why would you put yourself in a position where you’re going to…
We know you can’t turn back the clock, but we wouldn’t mind returning to a time when full-size pickups were simple, stripped-down, work-duty affairs, and they cost less than a large sedan, and we called them “half-ton” trucks.With the average price of a basic, no-frills full-size pickup creeping toward $40,000,we don’t even need to debate whether the cost of entry has gotten too high. New trucks are simply too expensive, and we’re holding onto our old pickups for longer these days, even if that means spending more money to keep them running. The Average American Truck Is Now 12 Years…
On July 19, a shooting took place in Asheville, N.C. Two people were killed, and seven others were injured. Right now, police still haven’t caught the suspect, which is less than good, to say the least. It’s safe to say that while the media calls this a “mass shooting,” it bears no resemblance to what happened in Idaho over the weekend. This was likely a targeted attack over a personal beef. In other words, it was likely gang-related.But, like so many other mayors of decent-sized cities across the country, rather than admit that she’s sucked…

Back in my day, everyone was working for the weekend. It was the time when you’d get done with work or school, then go blow off some steam. That did not include opening fire at an In-and-Out. Like many would-be mass killers, this chucklehead, who has been identified, thought he’d find a place with a fair number of people and start killing. And, well, anti-gunners will tell you that if you put a gun-free zone sign on the door, someone with murderous intent will stay outside. Unfortunately, all that does is keep good guys with guns…
The FBI has reportedly subpoenaed a freelance reporter over his report on a secret U.S. mission in North Korea. FBI agents delivered the subpoena, issued by prosecutors in Virginia, to Matthew Cole’s home in New York in February, and demanded he hand over two years of contacts and sources, the New York Times reported, citing anonymous sources. Coles had been working as a freelance reporter for the publication. In 2025, Cole and staff reporter Dave Philipps reported on a Navy SEAL Team 6 mission in 2019 that led to the death of two or three unarmed North Koreans. Cole and…
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…
This article was originally published by Jeremy E. Powell at The Mises Institute. It needs no special introduction to argue that, after years of repeated lockdowns, restrictions, and vaccination pressures that violate both choice and conscience, the ongoing panic from global media and potentiality for lockdowns will undoubtedly land poorly in today’s polarized environment. It isn’t complicated to understand why. Those three years of lockdowns, restrictions, and vaccination pressures weren’t about abstract data or ideals. For many people, they represented isolation, business closures, loss of jobs and years, and a time where walking out of the house could have gotten you arrested…
I’m not going to sit here and tell you that driving while under the influence of anything is a good idea. Anyone with a functional brain knows that it’s not. DUI can not just lead to your own death, but also the death of others. The hell of it is, drunks are often the only survivors of DUI crashes, which is some kind of perverse irony that I wish wasn’t a thing. Those guilty of DUI can face all kinds of penalties, ranging from fines all the way up to jail time, and they typically…
Salesforce and the U.S. Air Force recently inked a $72 million contract, described as a natural evolution of the current state of military operations that aligns with the “massive revolution” kickstarted by artificial intelligence. The $72 million Enterprise License Agreement (ELA) is described by the longtime cloud-based industry stalwart as an effort to accelerate digital transformation and mission readiness with Missionforce National Security, which entails the company’s focus on national security based on its work alongside the Department of Defense, the intelligence community in the Associated Aerospace and Defense Government Systems Integrator, and the defense industrial base. This ELA will…
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s ousted President Yoon Suk Yeol and his former defense minister were sentenced to 30 years in prison Friday in a case alleging Yoon ordered drone flights over Pyongyang in 2024 to heighten tensions with North Korea and justify declaring martial law at home. The Seoul Central District Court found Yoon and his ex-defense minister, Kim Yong Hyun, guilty of aiding an adversary and abusing their power, saying they sought to provoke North Korea into launching armed attacks or other serious retaliation against South Korea to manufacture a national emergency. It said the moves…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has long been looking for this weekend to be a big one for his presidency. The World Cup returns to the U.S. on Friday for the first time in 32 years after Trump threw himself into winning the bid to co-host the soccer tourney during his first term. He’ll be feted Sunday, his 80th birthday, during a UFC fight night that’s expected to draw thousands to the White House grounds. Hours after the final bout, he’s scheduled to jet off to the G7 summit in the French Alps for talks with several world leaders…
Ukrainian drone strikes on refineries, depots and pipelines. Tanker trucks attacked and left ablaze along the land corridor from Russia to Crimea. Motorists waiting in long lines at gas stations. In a new blow to the Kremlin’s narrative that Moscow is winning the 4-year-old war in Ukraine, Kyiv’s forces have targeted supplies to Crimea, triggering the worst fuel crisis on the Black Sea peninsula since it was illegally annexed by Russia in 2014. The persistent attacks reflect the growing intensity and efficiency of Ukraine’s drone strikes and have caught Russia off guard and struggling for a response. As the country…
