We know good and well that the Second Amendment says “shall not be infringed.” We all know what that means. Still, anti-gunners keep arguing that gun control is constitutional. They might bring up the militia clause, but they can’t illustrate how that overrides the last four words. They don’t even try, really. They simply proclaim it and we’re expected to accept it. Obviously, we don’t and won’t.But why do they seem to feel like they don’t have to? Why is it that they believe they can ignore the text of the Second Amendment?Howard Sachs, writing…
CAIRO (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump threatened more strikes on Iran as the United States presses for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Hours later on Saturday, Kuwait said it responded to a new round of drone attacks from Iran while a tanker was struck in the strategic waterway. Meanwhile, Israel heavily struck the Gaza Strip after the Palestinian militant group Hamas agreed to disarm. Here are the most important developments in the Middle East today: US threatens new strikes in the conflict with Iran Speaking to reporters Friday during a meeting with members of his Cabinet at…

The Department of Veterans Affairs hit 2 million processed disability claims by June of this year — weeks ahead of any prior record — with average wait times cut nearly in half and the backlog under 75,000. Veterans advocates say speed matters, but accuracy matters more. The Department of Veterans Affairs announced June 10 that it had processed more than 2 million disability benefits claims in fiscal 2026 as of June 1, faster than at any point in the agency’s history. The prior record was set in fiscal year 2025, when VA hit the 2 million mark in late June.…
On May 18, 1917, six weeks after the United States declared war on Germany, Congress passed the Selective Service Act. It was the first national draft since the Civil War, and it changed the daily reality of nearly every young man in the country almost overnight. If you want to know whether you would have been called up, the honest answer depends on exactly how old you were, what you did for a living, and how the war’s demand for manpower shifted over its final 18 months. The First Registration: June 5, 1917 The government designated June 5, 1917 as…
It’s hard to imagine a 36-year-old active-duty U.S. Army soldier voluntarily calling himself ‘Viva La Vargas’ as a nickname. But Staff Sgt. Johnny Vargas, stationed at Fort Hood, TX, is more than a soldier. He’s a modern-day, social media Robin Hood, problem-solving, sharing good news and important information for military members and veterans on his TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube feeds under his ‘Viva La Vargas’ brand. “I get messages every day from service members, or veterans kicked out of their home, or those with mounting medical bills, or just running into a roadblock,” said Staff Sgt. Vargas, in an…

California has the strictest gun control regulations in the entire nation, and while it’s still less than many nations have, it’s only because the Second Amendment won’t let them get away with more. We all know it, just like we all know that despite the claims of gun control advocates, it doesn’t actually do anything. And we know that because we’ve seen the evidence with our own two eyes, up to and including the would-be assassin at the White House Correspondents Dinner.Plus, we’ve got this incident, too.Four people were shot, one of them fatally, at…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog under the title: The World Is Approaching “Tank Bottoms” As Experts Warn That Very Painful Oil Shortages Are Ahead This Summer Without sufficient quantities of oil, the global economy will not be able to operate normally. So the fact that the global economy is running a massive “oil deficit” right now should deeply alarm all of us. Ever since the war with Iran began, the world has been consuming far more oil than it has been producing. We have been running down commercial oil inventories and strategic…
Outnumbered, nearly surrounded, and staring into the muzzle of a German MP40, 1SG Leonard Funk did the only sensible thing. He started laughing, swung his Thompson, and carved his name into Medal of Honor history. Today we begin a series on Medal of Honor (MOH) recipients, America’s highest award for gallantry in combat. The MOH is a holy thing that is earned only at extreme risk of life in active combat with the enemy. The MOH is the only American military award worn around the neck and is generally presented by the President of the United States in the name…
CAIRO (AP) — Bahrain’s government said Saturday that Iran fired ballistic missiles and drones toward it and Kuwait. The foreign ministry said they had been intercepted and called on Iran to immediately cease attacks on its Gulf neighbors. Kuwait’s foreign ministry called the attacks a “serious escalation” and a “flagrant violation of its sovereignty.” It said on Saturday that it reserves the right to defend the country. The statements came hours after the U.S. military said it shot down Iranian ballistic missiles and drones launched toward the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf Arab allies on Friday, while striking some of…
A German mine tore open the Navy transport USS Susan B. Anthony off Utah Beach on the morning of June 7, 1944. The ship lost power and went down within a few hours of the blast, the only large troop ship sunk in the entire invasion. Everyone aboard got off alive, including thousands of soldiers from the 90th Infantry Division who came ashore carrying their rifles but stripped of the heavier weapons that went down with the ship. The men of the 90th landed in a supporting role on D-Day and never drew the attention paid to the other divisions.…
Five Jewish service members recently had their headstones altered, and they may be just the beginning. The American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) has partnered with the nonprofit Operation Benjamin to provide funding for the partnership to identify, research and correct burial mistakes for such service members. It comes on the heels of changes made at families’ requests to fix the headstones of five Jewish veterans after they were incorrectly buried at Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery in France under Latin crosses. The new headstones feature Stars of David. Officials salute the five fallen service members after their headstones were changed. (Julien NGuyen-Kim/ABMC)…
WASHINGTON (AP) — After Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth cut nine Navy officers, including all the women, from a promotion list, several female officers say they see the unusual intervention as a sign that their careers now have a ceiling and worry for the future generation of female military leaders. The Navy had selected 31 sailors to promote from the rank of captain to one-star admiral, but Hegseth recently intervened to strike nine people from the list, including three women and two Black men, according to a defense official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss information not permitted to…
When I saw the news on Friday about actor James Handy being murdered, allegedly by his girlfriend’s son, the name didn’t register. Handy was one of those actors you recognized when he appeared, but whose name wasn’t likely to make a lot of headlines because of his day-to-day life. He just wasn’t that guy. Honestly, it’s probably kind of a sweet spot for an actor. You can still live a semi-normal life, but you’re working doing something most people can only dream of doing for a living.Still, not everything was puppies and roses.James Handy, an…
