After 83 years, John Pagliuso is finally getting the funeral he deserves. Pagliuso, killed in action serving in the Army during World War II, will receive a burial with full military honors on Nov. 7 in his hometown of Lyons, New York. Pagliuso, presumed missing in action for several decades, was finally identified through DNA technology earlier this year. Norma Davis, Pagliuso’s niece and the oldest living next of kin, was shocked when the Army phoned her back in March to share the terrific news – remains discovered in the Philippines belonged to her Uncle Johnny. “It was unexpected, obviously,” Davis told…

There is a problem here in the United States, and that’s if liberty were to fall here, there’s nowhere to go. There’s no escape route for those of us who don’t want the government to take everything from us, up to and including our guns, which is why so many of us have a line in the sand that cannot be crossed. And I don’t see there being anywhere to go anytime soon. Too many other nations that are supposedly free really aren’t, and the trend internationally is for more regulation of everything and a…
With UN troops getting dangerously close to the Yalu River, Mao Zedong’s orders were simple: destroy the 1st Marine Division. In late November 1950, he sent 12 divisions—more than 120,000 troops from the elite 9th Army Group—into the frozen mountains around North Korea’s Chosin Reservoir to trap and annihilate 30,000 American, British and South Korean forces.The Chinese had numerical superiority, tactical surprise and home-field advantage in terrain so brutal that men froze to death in their fighting positions. By every measure, the UN forces should have been wiped out.But they survived. And the story of how a rag-tag group of survivors—Marines,…

For a while now, the boogieman anti-gunners have been pushing to restrict are so-called assault weapons. They don’t like the way they look, the fact that they appear to be military weapons, and there is the more legitimate fact that many mass killers have also used them. They want them banned. So banned, in fact, that no one can get them, at least not without NFA paperwork. But before that, the boogieman was handguns.In fairness, handguns are used in the vast majority of so-called gun crimes and so-called gun violence incidents, but the anti-gunners have…
Secretary of State Marco Rubio appears to be spearheading an aggressive campaign to bring down Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. That means that the United States is on a road toward a war with Caracas. The U.S. instigated a war when it started striking civilian boats allegedly carrying narcotics to the U.S. At least 61 people, many of them Venezuelans, have been killed in U.S. strikes on boats in international waters, which the Trump administration said, without providing evidence, were carrying drugs. The strikes, which the Trump administration has said are part of an “armed conflict” with cartels, were ordered without congressional…
The first storm of winter rolled in overnight, heavy and quiet. By morning, the trails had vanished beneath a thick white blanket, and every step made that satisfying squeak that only deep cold brings. I laced up The North Face Chilkat V 400 ($159), clipped into snowshoes, and set out with my dog through the stillness. Over the next few weeks, these boots became my daily go-to. From snowshoeing through rolling meadows and hiking icy ridgelines to evening dog walks on slick streets, they handled it all. The Chilkats stayed warm, waterproof, and stable, with the comfort of a hiking…
Florida seems to be moving in the right direction on guns. They’ve been pretty anti-gun control for a while, with a lapse in judgment in the wake of Parkland, and with open carry now being a thing, one can hope things continue that way. But Leon County clearly doesn’t want that.As the county commission considered its legislative wish list for the upcoming session, there’s one issue they say they want really badly. They want gun control.The Leon County Commission added supporting gun control policy to its state and national lobbying priority list. But it received…
BELLEVUE, WA – As far-left Socialist Democrat Zohran Mamdani’s campaign to be the next New York City mayor rolls like a juggernaut toward next Tuesday’s election, a violent rap video showing a younger Mamdani waving a pistol around has surfaced to haunt him. The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says the wannabe Big Apple mayor, who called for a ban on all gun ownership in 2022, deserves the exposure. The video was, according to the Washington Free Beacon and Rolling Stone, made several years ago when Mamdani performed under the alias “Young Cardamom.” Included is…

The National Rifle Association has undergone several changes. Under the NRA 2.0 leadership, the Association has been righting itself and they’ve announced that major changes are coming effective immediately. NRA President Bill Bachenberg has been a long-time member of the Board of Directors. Bachenberg assumed the office of president in April 2025 and immediately got to work with both the board and executive leadership of the Association. As part of a major move to reinvent and revitalize the NRA, Bachenberg and the Association have announced that a reorganization is underway and that’s rolling out now.“The…
Something’s WrongRick Colts knew something was wrong the moment his military working dog changed his search pattern.It was June 1, 2011, the final patrol before Colts and his German shepherd, Torry, were scheduled to return to Camp Leatherneck for refit ahead of their return home from Afghanistan. A Special Forces team had requested a K9 unit, and Colts and Torry joined them to help secure a site for new base in Helmand Province.“Torry started working his pattern, and when he starts getting into it, he smells some kind of explosives,” Colts said. “I instantly knew something was up. I held up…

This idea grew in Chris Benchetler’s mind for over a decade — but life had to run its course before he could finally execute it. First, in 2013, he skied in the lightsuit segment in the Sweetgrass Productions film Afterglow. Then, in 2019, he made Fire on the Mountain with Teton Gravity Research (TGR), which became an instant cult classic ski flick. Athletes in skeleton LED suits shredded blower powder, sent big air, and ripped mountains apart under the cover of darkness, all to the music of the Grateful Dead, the soundtrack of Benchetler’s life. Those films opened doors, made…
When I covered the WSJ’s hit piece on Stand Your Ground laws on Wednesday, I wondered if the reporters had any behind-the-scenes help from gun control activists. It’s not proof of anything, but since the story appeared online only one gun control group has promoted the story on X or Bluesky. Stand your ground laws encourage people to shoot first and ask questions later. It’s a license to kill that makes all of us less safe.These legally sanctioned killings are on the rise and must be stopped. https://t.co/dpexy0JJSq— GIFFORDS (@GIFFORDS_org) October 29, 2025The premise of the…
For many veterans, keeping their formal uniforms long after they’ve served is important. But for Jose Pequeno, a 51-year-old from Tampa, Florida, his pristine Marine dress blues carried a little more significance. Pequeno suffered a devastating injury that nearly killed him while serving in Iraq. He survived but was permanently damaged. Last year, he was crestfallen while preparing to attend a military ball and realized he could no longer wear his sparkling uniform. “He had outgrown it,” his mother, Nellie, told Fox 13 News in Tampa. “Jose just started crying.” A Kind GestureDespite the heartache, Pequeno’s mother dressed him in his Army uniform (he…
