The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has approved over $13.6 million in funds to create a veterans cemetery in Augusta, Ga. Proper burials are important to honor deceased service members and to provide closure for their families. But military families in Augusta currently often travel long distances for burial services, like in Fort Jackson, Columbia, or to the Georgia Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Milledgeville. The $13,610,908 grant, awarded by the VA’s National Cemetery Administration on Sept. 16, intends to change this. It will create the largest veterans cemetery in the entire state, built on more than 200 acres of land…

I can get why someone might want another person dead. I don’t truly comprehend murder as a coping mechanism, but I’ve been angry at people from time to time and pondered awful things for half a second. Someone who ponders such for longer might be inclined to carry it out, I suppose, especially if their morals are less than strong. What I can’t comprehend, though, is killing your entire family. A spouse killing a spouse? I can understand, even if I can’t imagine feeling that way. But your kids? Honestly?It’s clearly something we need to…
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard warned Monday that it would “change the geography of the war” if the United States escalates the conflict. Meanwhile, the British military said an “unknown projectile” struck a tanker as it entered the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, injuring two crew members. The vessel continued toward port under its own power. The Israeli military remains on alert as much of the country shuts down for Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism. Fighting across Yemen killed or injured 680 people last week, the World Health Organization said. Here is the latest news from the Middle East on…

A new poll by Marquette Law School may offer some comfort to anti-gunners, but only if they don’t bother to look too deeply at the results. The poll found 52 percent of respondents say the Supreme Court should not rule that there’s a right to possess AR-15s and other semi-automatic rifles, with 48 percent believing the Court should rule that the possession of these arms is constitutional. While that constitutes a narrow majority on the side of the gun control lobby, that majority support is concentrated in just a couple of demographics.When looking at the results by…
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The Netherlands is preparing for the United States to impose sanctions on the International Criminal Court in the latest escalation of the Trump administration’s attacks on the global tribunal. Dutch officials have been told by the United States that potentially devastating sanctions on the institution are forthcoming, diplomatic and government officials with knowledge of the briefings told The Associated Press. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. The Netherlands is looking at ways to help the court maintain payments to staff and to protected witnesses, and to ensure…
Mosquitos are the world’s deadliest animal. Experts estimate that mosquito-borne diseases like malaria and West Nile virus kill around 1 million people per year. Bug repellent is one of the best tools available to prevent those deaths, and researchers recently uncovered a new way to keep mosquitoes away: catnip. Scientific studies have shown that this herb — the same one that makes cats lose their minds — is just as effective as DEET. That theory has now been proven, according to a July 7 study from researchers working in Uganda. The researchers said they proved the efficacy of catnip as…

A federal judge appointed by President Joe Biden has turned down the Justice Department’s motion for a temporary restraining order that would have blocked California’s ban on Glocks and other striker-fired pistols from being enforced, arguing in part that the ban doesn’t amount to a total prohibition on purchasing the popular handguns. U.S. District Judge Monica Ramirez Almadani also seems skeptical about the DOJ’s rationale for filing suit against the ban, which she calls a “novel theory under Section 12601 that California is a governmental authority whose law enforcement officers are engaging in a pattern…

To enlist in the military, you must take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test and get a good score. In the Space Force, career roles are represented by Space Force Specialty Codes (SFSC). The ASVAB tests your knowledge of basic concepts and skills and produces two main types of scores.

First, let’s explore what a good ASVAB score is, and what SFSC your scores qualify you for.…

This article was originally published by Michael Matulef at The Mises Institute. Every July 4th, Americans are handed sparklers and told to celebrate their freedom. Politicians climb podiums, flags wave, a hundred million dollars’ worth of fireworks scatter across the sky, and somewhere between the hot dogs and the stadium-rock anthems, it becomes easy to confuse the theater of freedom with the substance of it. Let’s be precise about what actually happened in 1776. The men who signed the Declaration of Independence were not, by any stretch, anarchists. Many owned slaves. Most had no intention of dissolving the institution of…
The ATF, among the many other rule changes, has been looking at making gun transfers between dealers easier. Basically, what they’re looking to do is update the system with newer technology so that the entire process isn’t rooted in the previous century. Fair enough, right?

They said they were getting a lot of “adverse comments” on it.In the direct final rule entitled, “Licensee “eZ Check” Verification for Transfers” ATF stated that if significant adverse comments were received by June 5 the…
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A series of unclaimed airstrikes that hit Iran after the U.S. said it finished its attacks have again raised questions of who else may be targeting the Islamic Republic. The strikes Thursday, just as Iran prepared to bury the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, hit areas across southern Iran. The country’s theocracy hasn’t directly blamed anyone for the strikes, though one lawmaker issued a warning to the United Arab Emirates over allegedly providing support to the United States in its campaign against Iran. Gulf Arab states, which repeatedly have been targeted by Iran…
