The Pentagon is racing to buy more than 10,000 cheaper cruise missiles as the war with Iran strains U.S. missile stockpiles and puts fresh pressure on the military’s ability to quickly replace expensive weapons. The Department of Defense announced on Wednesday that it reached framework agreements with Anduril, CoAspire, Leidos and Zone 5 to launch the Low-Cost Containerized Munitions program, a new effort aimed at buying cheaper cruise missiles in bulk as the war with Iran intensifies concerns about U.S. missile stockpiles. Military.com reached out for comment to the Defense Innovation Unit, the Air Force, U.S. Naval Forces Central Command,…
The recent announcement by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) that it had filed lawsuits against Denver and the state of Colorado, challenging unconstitutional gun laws, drew praise from many on the gun-rights side of the issue. On May 5, the DOJ filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado seeking to have the city’s longstanding ban on common semi-automatic rifles ruled unconstitutional and stricken from the books. The next day, the DOJ filed a lawsuit against the state of Colorado, challenging its ban on standard-capacity firearm magazines that hold more than 15 rounds of…
This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News. The Same Old Scam, Repackaged With a New Name Here we go again. The same people who brought you the COVID-19 lockdowns, the masks, the PCR tests, and the experimental gene-therapy injections are now wheeling out a new fear: hantavirus. It’s clear this is 100% scripted theater, a psychological operation designed to terrorize the weak-minded into surrendering their liberty all over again. We have been through this before, and anyone who falls for it now deserves the shame that follows. Just as the COVID narrative was manufactured to test…
Louisiana has a lot of alligators. The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries estimates the state has more than 3 million wild alligators, plus nearly 1 million more on farms. So the state is moving toward a major expansion of recreational alligator hunting. The Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission approved a Notice of Intent for LDWF to conduct a statewide recreational alligator hunting season from Oct. 1 through Oct. 31, 2026. The proposed season would be separate from the state’s commercial alligator program, and public comment remains open through June 26, 2026. The proposal follows Senate Bill 244, authored by…
Patrick “Tate” Adamiak is rotting in a prison cell he never should have seen the inside of. He was charged with multiple weapons violations, and in every case, the charge is bogus. This isn’t a case of there being nuance that, as a Second Amendment advocate, I’m inclined to view differently than prosecutors. This was a case of a young man being charged for violating laws that he simply did not violate. And the fact that he’s still in prison after all we know is one of the greatest injustices I know of.The ATF did…
Roughly 3 1/2 years after being elected as mayor of Arcadia, Calif., Eileen Wang is facing serious federal charges as an illegal agent of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Wang, 58, was elected in November 2022 to the Arcadia City Council, involving a five-person governing body where the mayor is selected on a rotating basis. Arcadia, a city located about 13 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles in the San Gabriel Valley, has a population of roughly 54,000 residents. As part of an announcement made Monday by the Justice Department, Wang, 58, is charged with one count of acting…
When the Glock 43X came out, it was an impressive package. Same slide as the 43, but with a slightly larger grip frame. That gave you a little more to hold on to, while still being compact and also allowed for an increase in magazine capacity to 10 rounds with Glock’s “stack and a half” magazine. That was pretty good until a wave of other subcompacts came along with higher magazine capacities in similar-sized packages. There have been some higher-capacity aftermarket solutions that have worked with mixed results. Glock actually just released 15-round factory mags, but it’s too soon to…
A 27-year-old nurse, wife, and mother of two was shot and killed in the parking lot of an Alabama hospital on Tuesday afternoon, in what police are describing as a robbery committed by a man who’d been dropped off at the hospital hours before. According to authorities, 41-year-old Mathew James Taylor was taken to DCH Regional Medical Center in Tuscaloosa on Tuesday morning after requesting help with his mental health. Instead of entering the facility, Taylor allegedly loitered in the parking lot for several hours before targeting a woman insider her car by displaying a…
A box of World War II love letters reached the USO with no clear explanation of who sent them or how they survived. Inside were roughly 300 messages from Louis “Speedy” Weber, a Bronx soldier who wrote to his wife, Frances, from basic training, Sicily, France, Belgium, Germany and Czechoslovakia. With the USO releasing part of the “Letters Home: A World War II Archive” collection alongside the upcoming D-Day film Pressure, archivists are hoping the public can help solve the next part of the mystery: where Speedy’s family is today. “In short, they are a collection of around 300 letters…
With the suppressor tax stamp gone, thanks to that big 2025 bill, everybody’s jumping on subsonic loads to get the most out of their new cans, much to the boon of the very limited selection of companies that produce subsonic loads. This specific ammo turns an already great experience with a suppressor into a whisper-quiet experience that’s perfect for home defense, plinking, or hunting without ringing ears and oftentimes negating the need for additional hearing protection. While getting into the subsonic suppressed setup game used to be a lot of extra cash and frustration, now you can just go to…
When Patrick “Tate” Adamiak was arrested and convicted of possessing numerous illegal weapons, it was the Biden administration, and we all know that there would be no hope for the then active-duty sailor. Never mind that the trial never should have happened, and that the only reason a jury convicted him was that the judge blocked some important testimony from being heard. The truth was that he was yet another casualty in the ATF’s desire to look like they could actually do something. At least he survived the ordeal.Still, when Trump returned to office, so…
Reports of a “backdoor” national firearms registry have been a big concern for gun-rights organizations and pro-gun federal lawmakers for several years. Now, a news report at Reason.com not only confirms the secret registry created with firearms transaction records accumulated by the ATF from firearm retailers who have gone out of business, but explains how Republican lawmakers have been seeking answers for nearly a year. According to the report, the registry is made up of a “digital trove of hundreds of millions—possibly over a billion—firearm transaction records that the agency has digitized from former dealer files.” On February 3, U.S.…
Last year some unnamed DOJ officials briefly floated the idea of banning transgendered individuals from possessing firearms, but after getting public pushback from every major Second Amendment group with a national footprint, the suggestion seems to have been quietly dropped. After a mass shooting in British Columbia and a targeted act of familial murder/suicide in Rhode Island committed by trans individuals in the span of less than a week, though, several conservative pundits are now vocally calling for gun bans for transgenders. Any adult man with a wife and children who “transitions” to a “woman” is…
This article was originally published by Kevin Hughes at Natural News under the title: Trump Administration Escalates War on Drugs With Lethal Maritime Strikes, Signals Imminent Land Operations The Trump administration has intensified lethal naval operations near Venezuela, conducting at least nine strikes since September against suspected drug-trafficking vessels, resulting in 37 fatalities. President Donald Trump announced plans for expanded “hard” land-based strikes against cartels, following naval interdictions that reportedly reduced drug flows by 33%. Mexican cartels like MS-13 have been designated as foreign terrorist organizations to justify military action. Critics, including Colombian President Gustavo Petro and U.S. lawmakers, challenge…
I get that Australians aren’t big fans of the right to keep and bear arms. Hell, it’s bad enough there that it barely even qualifies as a privilege, especially as things have gone since the Bondi Beach terrorist attack. But that’s a thing for private citizens. No one who has any sense thinks the military should be disarmed, too. Oh, maybe not let them carry guns in various places, but they know that fighting wars needs guns, and there’s always someone most people think is worth killing, even if its their fellow countrymen and women.Despite…
“It’s a group mindset out here,” can be heard from the passenger side of a dusty off-highway vehicle roaring down a desert trail. Among the towering Saguaro cacti, leathery-leafed Jojoba shrubs, and pungent creosote bushes, two off-highway vehicle (OHV) enthusiasts talk shop in a side-by-side on a straightaway section of Arizona’s Boulders OHV Trail. Their goal? Highlighting the importance of courteous, safe, and informed off-highway driving … and having a little fun exploring Arizona in the process. Nick Olson takes his Chupacabra Off Road OHV on the trail; (photo/AZGFD) Meet the driver: off-highway expert, Nick Olson, who has coupled his…
The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) says that the Epstein files may contain “crimes against humanity.” We would say that it is almost a certainty that those files contain these violations. The UNHRC released a statement in response to the millions of files released by the United States ruling class related to criminal investigations into the late financier, Jeffrey Epstein. The UNHRC also demanded that all perpetrators be prosecuted no matter The Obama Administration’s Prostitution Scandal And The Ruemmler-Epstein Connection The Clintons Will Testify In Epstein Probe The Epstein files reveal instances of “sexual slavery, reproductive violence, enforced disappearance,…
Supertramp has established itself as a world-class truck camper company, with build standards far beyond the typical recreational vehicle (RV). Its latest offering is a chassis-mounted truck camper designed to mate with a 1-ton Ford SuperDuty truck. The Supertramp Paragon bridges the gap between the company’s slide-in truck campers and its F-550-based expedition camper. It’s also an alternative to adventure vans at a similar price point. The Paragon is not a half-million-dollar Supertramp Megatron or a million-dollar EarthRoamer. It is a much smaller expedition-style overland camper, which costs a fraction of the price. Supertramp Paragon Basics $189K starting price for…
The ATF isn’t our friend. It could be, but the truth is that there have been too many years when the bureau sought to spend more time monitoring what people like you and me were doing than actually going after armed criminals and actual gun traffickers. In fairness, going after those guys is hard, while we’re easier targets. Heaven forbid someone employed by the federal government has to actually work hard, with the notable exception of the junior enlisted in the military.What we all would like to see is someone running the ATF who isn’t…
Pro-gun rights group Gun Owners of America has announced it is launching its first-ever digital magazine, an exclusive membership benefit for GOA members. According to Felisha Bull, Director of Communications for GOA, the new magazine will build upon the success of GOA’s State of the Second Podcast and will expand the State of the Second brand into long-form storytelling and analysis, tailored specifically for gun owners. “State of the Second will provide GOA members with in-depth, original content that blends advocacy, industry insight and exclusive access,” Bull wrote in a news release announcing the launch. “The magazine will feature expert gun reviews from trusted…
We stood at the top of a steep slope with tightly spaced trees. “Follow my ski tracks — we need to go either far left or far right near the bottom of this slope. That way, we can avoid cliffs,” my ski partner, Dane Tudor, said. Cliffs? I reached up and used my mitten to press the button on the ear pad of my ski helmet, pausing my music. I was testing the new POC Obex Connect. The sound quality was excellent, and the system was so easy to use that I was now hooked on listening to beats throughout…
