In May, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told lawmakers that the cost of the Iran War had risen to $29 billion—with prices climbing…
Military families have a long checklist of things to do when going through a PCS move. One of those tasks is vehicle registration. Rules and fees for vehicle registration vary by state. Some states don’t require vehicle registration if you’re on military orders. In some states, military members are exempt from registration fees. And some states offer special consideration to veterans, such as discounts on registration or license plates. Keep in mind that most states require insurance and many will require proof of insurance before you register your vehicle. If you’ve moved, your insurance rates will change; your carrier may…
The right to keep and bear arms is a natural human right, and it shouldn’t matter where you live. That’s especially true if you’re in the United States, where we at least recognize that right. However, in New York City, law enforcement maintains a pretty aggressive posture toward people who carry firearms. Many of them aren’t carrying lawfully, admittedly, but that’s long been because no one could really carry lawfully. Even after Bruen, New York did what it could as a state to make sure the status quo didn’t change all that much. And so,…

A Virginia judge has made it clear that the temporary injunction blocking the state’s new “assault weapon” ban doesn’t just apply to a handful of localities. It applies across the entire Commonwealth. According to FOX 5 Washington DC, the ruling adds another twist to the growing legal battle over two gun control laws signed by Gov. Abigail Spanberger. One prohibits the future sale of many semi-automatic rifles, including AR-15-style firearms, while the other restricts where those firearms may be carried in public. Washington County Circuit Judge Jeffrey Campbell originally issued a preliminary injunction after finding the plaintiffs were likely to…
The news surrounding the future of the Destiny franchise is certainly painful, especially given how much support there still is for the series. The second game may be going off into the sunset, but the door remains slightly open for a third installment, and there are already plenty of games out there in the genre that show the hunger for more shooter action. Destiny 2 already put up some pretty impressive numbers over its lifetime, and continues to maintain a steady player count to this day, so if Bungie decides to pull the trigger and round out the trilogy, there…
“Universal Basic Capital” is a much-needed solution to the continued advancement of artificial intelligence technology’s consistent advancement. Universal basic income (UBI) was a popular topic years ago, especially as AI gained a foothold in the economy, beginning to replace human workers; however, the newer UBC concept is now gaining traction. According to a report by The Atlantic, the idea has been endorsed by figures as ideologically diverse as Bernie Sanders, Gavin Newsom, Steve Bannon, Sam Altman, and even Donald Trump. In both cases, UBI and UBC are policies that would give every single human a baseline salary, whether they contribute…
There’s an effort underway in Washington to strengthen military combat casualty care while bolstering national medical readiness. The House Appropriations Committee has taken the first major step toward these goals by including $20 million dollars in legislative funding as part of the final National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) draft making its way through Congress. “We are deeply grateful that the committee has prioritized this investment,” Jonathan Miller, president of RESPOND‑US, told Military.com. “Their leadership makes clear that Congress understands the stakes—that medical readiness is not a luxury, but a war-fighting requirement.” U.S. Air Force Airmen assigned to the 374th Civil…
