A U.S. Army veteran who served as one of three men on the 12-person jury in the high-profile Lindsay Clancy murder trial in Massachussetts said nothing in his military background prepared him for the intense, closed-door deliberations. The trial captivated the nation. Clancy and her defense team did not dispute the fact that she strangled, killed her three children, ages 3, 5 and an 8-month-old in January 2023 in the Boston area. She then attempted to commit suicide by cutting her wrists and neck, and then became paralyzed from the waist down after jumping from a second-story window. The case…
It was Feb. 29 during the leap year of 2024 when Steven Strohmaier was deployed and took a photograph of a cutter. Little did he know that more than two years later, his image would be featured on over 10 million U.S. Postal Service stamps. Petty Officer 1st Class Strohmaier, of the U.S. Coast Guard, is one of two Guardsmen whose photographs are featured on a new USPS stamp released Sept. 12. The stamp art features photographs of the USCGC Eagle, the Coast Guard Academy’s primary training vessel since 1946, and USCGC Bertholf, a Legend-class national security cutter whose missions…
At the young age of 104, Vicki Herrel can look back on an interesting and full life with some remarkable chapters of American aviation history. She helped build military aircraft as a teenager during World War II, joined the Navy’s WAVES and transported troops across the United States before getting into a civilian aviation career that ultimately earned her a half-million-mile pin. Somewhere in the maze that is her amazing life, she managed to become engaged to three men at the same time, while turning them all down. A resident of Colorado, Herrell had a lifetime full of experiences that…

Many former military members will use old fitness test standards as a model to maintain after service. After having coached many “average Joes,” I have a few exercises and events I like to help people build up to and maintain. Many of these standards come from similar military exercises and events that this gentleman asked about this week: Do you have something akin to PST standards for average Joes? Like how many pushups should someone in their 40s be able to do, how far/fast should they run a mile, etc? Thanks! Joe Joe, great question. However, I will say that…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump observed Friday’s 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks at a ceremony at the Pentagon by commemorating the lives lost when al-Qaida militants hijacked planes and killed nearly 3,000 people in three locations and upended American foreign policy and national security. Trump and first lady Melania Trump listened as the names of the 184 people killed at the Pentagon that day were read aloud, a bell tolling between each. In his remarks, Trump recounted the stories of several of the victims and insisted that the moment has led to a fortification of American resolve.…
The hype and hysteria around so-called ghost guns got old long ago. The anti-gunners keep screaming about them as a problem and how the government should Do Something (TM). They’re not, and the numbers support it. Still, the hysteria continues. Defense Distributed’s victory in the case formerly known as VanDerStock is an important win.But over at The Volokh Conspiracy, noted Second Amendment attorney Stephen Halbrook makes the case that the ruling has ramifications well beyond so-called ghost guns.Defense Distributed could have a broader impact, particularly if affirmed and further exposited by the Fifth Circuit, by…
Bill Maher is one of the few voices on the left I’m willing to take seriously. He’s willing to say things that will bother his audience because he thinks they need saying, so when I disagree with him, I can at least accept that it’s not him playing team sports. He actually believes that. And, over the years, he’s been a bit more sensible with regard to the Second Amendment than most of his non-right-leaning guests, though he’s been far from perfect.Over the weekend, the Real Time host had Ro Khanna on, which I’ll try…
Airmen from the New Hampshire Air National Guard returned home this past weekend after deploying earlier this year to the Middle East in support of the United States’ military operation against Iran coined “Operation Epic Fury.” The airmen, assigned to the 157th Air Refueling Wing, deployed in late February to the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility. The unit returned to its home station at Pease Air National Guard Base in Newington, N.H., the New Hampshire National Guard said in a social media post on Sunday. The 157th Air Refueling Wing and its active-duty associate unit, the 64th Air Refueling…

Sleeping bag insulation typically comes in two forms: down or synthetic — each with its own advantages. Both, however, are static insulators, meaning they don’t adapt to changing temperatures. Recently, Graphene-X launched a new sleeping bag on Kickstarter that uses “Weather Adaptive Insulation” (WAI), which it claims can “think for itself” and acclimatize to warmer or cooler temperatures. The technology has already won the brand an ISPO award for its insulated jackets — now, it’s applying it to the Tardigrade Sleeping Bag. Beyond the insulation, the Graphene-X Tardigrade Sleeping Bag offers several other convenient design features. It comes in two temperature ranges…
Some days, it feels like military spouses are managing three calendars, four schedules and at least one surprise before breakfast. Between supporting a service member, maintaining a household, raising children, building a career and navigating the unpredictable nature of military life, it’s easy to feel like you’re constantly trying to catch up. Add in moves, changing schedules, deployments and new communities, and staying organized can feel like a constant challenge. While there’s no perfect system that works for every military family, a few practical habits can make daily life run more smoothly. Here are eight organizational tips that can help…

When the midday heat hits, my first instinct is to ditch my long sleeves — but my sunburn-prone skin won’t allow it. That tension is exactly what made the Outdoor Research Echo Hoodie ($79) so impressive. I tested it over a full year, from standup paddleboarding the Snake River and spring ski tours in the Tetons to bear-viewing trips in Alaska. Plenty of sun hoodies protect well. Fewer feel this light, soft, and easy to leave on all day. The Echo isn’t the burliest or most protective shirt I’ve tested. It still became my top choice for moving hard, sweating…
Several years ago, Time did a piece that looked at how there are so few mass shootings in the Philippines. I wrote about it at the time, and there was some speculation as to why that was the case. Mostly, though, it was about how that sort of thing happens here, but not there. And, unfortunately, saying that it doesn’t happen there as much doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen, as we can unfortunately see today.Two students armed with hand guns opened fire in a high school in the central Philippines on Monday, killing three fellow…
The reveal of Ferrari’s first electric vehicle gave the world plenty to be riled up about, but you haven’t even seen the beginning of it. CarBuzz has just found a new patent that shows the Luce’s wipers, which were parked on the windshield Cybertruck-style at the reveal, could actually be much, much worse. Those Upright Wipers Could Be Downright Wipers Credit: Ferrari How could it be worse than parking the wipers like a broken 2006 Honda Civic? Ferrari was recently granted a patent called “Motor Vehicle With Windshield Wipers Having A Rest Position On The Hood.” No, not under the hood,…
