The North Carolina National Guard has settled a First Amendment lawsuit with a veteran over his right to criticize his military leaders online. Lawyers for Timothy Stanhope, a retired guardsman who spent roughly 20 years in the military, successfully argued he was pressured to retire over his online social media posts. While Stanhope did not get any monetary relief from the suit, his access to the Guard’s official Facebook page was restored. “The government should not be able to just silence their critics with the click of a button,” Michelle Scott, associate counsel with the Center for Individual Rights, told…

The Department of Veterans Affairs can now cover up to 10 months of rent, pay utility bills, buy groceries and arrange transportation for eligible homeless veterans under a new policy that took effect July 29. The authority allows VA medical centers to purchase goods or pay service providers when staff determines the help is necessary to keep a veteran safe, prevent the loss of housing or connect the veteran with care, employment and permanent housing. Assistance can include restaurant meals, groceries, hotel stays, moving expenses, clothing, tents, ride-share trips and smartphones with service plans. The policy remains in effect through…

Authorities have discovered that the remains of a murder victim, whose bones and remains were found in southwestern Oregon more than 50 years ago, belonged to a WWII veteran. Coos County Sheriff’s Office discovered that the skeletal remains of a body found in the woods near Bandon in 1972 matched the genetic makeup of Armes Henry Lahti, a U.S. Navy veteran from Astoria, Ore., who served in the military during the conflict. “This long‑awaited identification reflects years of dedicated work, collaborative science, and advances in modern genetic genealogy. … “This outcome would not be possible without the ongoing cooperation among…
Hurdling is defined as a combination of more than one food preservation technique. The idea is to create a series of barriers for microorganisms like bacteria and fungus. These barriers act as hurdles for the microorganisms so it’s harder for them to make it into the food we eat. If the proper amount of hurdles are used, any microorganisms are overwhelmed and ultimately die so the food lasts longer. What is a Microorganism? In a food context, microorganisms are bacteria or various forms of fungus that can thrive and grow on food. The result leads to any number of diseases…
Just a few days ago, we reported on a planned community in Florida that’s banned the lawful carrying of firearms in common areas like parks, trails, and even the local dog park. Tradition Community Association is the not-for-profit corporation that owns and maintains the common areas in the sprawling planned community of Tradition, which is home to about 10,000 people in Port St. Lucie, Florida. When I covered Tradition’s gun ban, I noted that as a private entity it’s likely that the TCA would be exempt from Florida’s preemption law, which prohibits political subdivisions from establishing…
Tucker Carlson is officially done pretending everything inside the modern Republican Party is normal. In a long, fiery monologue (see below) reacting to Thomas Massie losing his Kentucky primary, Carlson basically argued the MAGA movement as many voters understood it in 2024 is either dead, hijacked, or something entirely different now. And honestly? Even people who completely disagree with Tucker are probably going to admit this thing was gasoline poured directly onto an already raging political bonfire. The core of Carlson’s argument is simple: Massie wasn’t taken out because he was unpopular back home. Tucker says he got bulldozed because…
MOSCOW (AP) — Trucks carrying intercontinental ballistic missiles rumbled over forest roads, atomic-powered submarines set sail from Arctic and Pacific ports, and crews scrambled into warplanes as Russia and neighboring Belarus held the final stage of their joint nuclear drills Thursday. Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the maneuvers in a video call with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko. “The use of nuclear weapons is an extreme, exceptional measure for ensuring the national security of our states,” Putin said. Lukashenko earlier inspected Russian short-range nuclear-capable Iskander ballistic missiles at a military unit involved in the drills and declared: “I dreamed about…
The United States Justice Department has indicted Raúl Castro, the former ruler of Cuba. Similarly, this move mirrors the one made by the US that offered a pretext for the kidnapping of Venezuela’s ruler, Nicolas Maduro. Much of the world condemned the US’s handling of Maduro and the brief military action in Venezuela it took to remove him from power. Since then, the US has taken control of most of Venezuela’s oil. Trump Halts Second Wave of Venezuela Strikes As Global Outrage Grows Over Maduro Abduction The indictment of Castro was unsealed on Wednesday. It accuses Castro of ordering the…
NEW LONDON, Conn. (AP) — President Donald Trump told the U.S. Coast Guard Academy’s graduates on Wednesday that they show “unbelievable heroism and exceptional selflessness” but that the cadets will “be tested further” as they embark on their military careers. Trump’s remarks to the class of 2026 were the first time he has given a commencement address at one of the nation’s military academies after sending U.S. troops to fight a new war. He told the cadets that they will be America’s “first defenders” and “first responders.” “You’ve all been tested. You’ll be tested further and probably at higher levels…
The Supreme Court will address one way anti-gun Democrats have tried to limit the right to carry when it issues its decision in Wolford v. Lopez at some point in the next few weeks, but Second Amendment advocates are asking the justices to look beyond the “vampire rule” issue in that case and take on some of the other “sensitive places” that gun-controlled states have put in place over the past few years. Novotny v. Moore was filed by Maryland Shall Issue, Maryland Rifle & Pistol Association, Firearms Policy Coalition, Second Amendment Foundation, and several individual plaintiffs…
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House is expected to vote on legislation Thursday to compel President Donald Trump to withdraw from the war with Iran, a significant test of lawmakers’ willingness to go along with a conflict the president launched over two months ago without congressional approval. The vote is the latest effort by Democrats to rein in Trump’s military campaigns by using the War Powers Resolution of 1973. Previous votes on similar resolutions have failed, but Democrats are hoping that Thursday could be a turning point. One by one, a small but potentially crucial number of Republicans have sided with…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream under the title: We Are Being Conditioned To Expect Some Sort Of A “Big Reveal”, And All Of A Sudden It Seems Like Just About Everyone Is Talking About UFOs And Aliens It isn’t just a coincidence that there has been an explosion in interest in the subject of UFOs and aliens recently. The truth is that we are being conditioned. For decades, books, movies, television shows, and video games have been conditioning us to think a certain way about encounters with very strange unidentified…
The purpose of the Second Amendment is the defense of this nation. Our Founding Fathers were generally smart men, and they recognized that defending our nation might mean fighting our government. It’s part of why they were largely distrustful of standing armies in the first place and preferred the militia. But, as things have chanced in the last 250 years, a lot of people figure that the purpose of the Second Amendment has also changed. They think it’s about hunting or, if they’re feeling charitable, about personal protection, and not anything else. It’s why they…
NEW YORK (AP) — Elon Musk announced plans Wednesday for one of the biggest stock sales ever by taking public a space company that is currently losing billions of dollars a year. A filing shows that his SpaceX lost $2.6 billion from operations last year on $18.7 billion in revenue, and the losses kept piling up at the start of this year, too. The prospectus did not put a dollar figure on the amount Musk hopes to raise, but various reports have put it at $75 billion or so. An offering of that size would easily surpass the current title…
Garett Bolles couldn’t help but think about his late grandfather, Ralph, while meeting a group of veterans last weekend in Colorado Springs, Colo. Ralph, a Korean War Army veteran, died about two months ago. He passed on the value of military sacrifice to his grandson, Bolles, the Denver Broncos’ All-Pro left tackle, who, in turn, is passing it on to his children. It’s the type of patriotic passion that motivates Bolles to spend time with veterans, hearing their stories and saying, “Thank you for your service.” “We, as American people, are blessed in so many ways,” Bolles told Military.com in…
