A new survey of thousands of veterans finds overwhelming opposition to a controversial section of the comprehensive Take Care of America’s Veterans Act (TCAVA) that is currently stalled in Congress. Disabled American Veterans, or DAV, published a new survey on Thursday of more than 4,200 veterans, their family members, caregivers and survivors showing that while 93% indicate they want veterans’ earned benefits protected, another 71% vehemently oppose the omnibus TCAVA unless a provision known as Section 108 is rescinded. “The general finding was people were opposed to TCAVA once they learned more about it,” Jim Marszalek, executive director of DAV’s…

Iran appears to possess a U.S. military autonomous underwater vehicle recovered near the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps called the Dive-LD one of America’s most advanced unmanned submarines, while U.S. officials described it as an older vehicle that had malfunctioned and remained “dead in the water” for more than a day. Iran could reverse-engineer the Dive-LD’s mechanical systems and use what it learns to improve its own underwater drones. Built-in software defenses may prevent access to more sensitive functions, according to The Jerusalem Post, while U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said the vehicle carried no…

Passengers stormed the cockpit and fought hijackers for control of United Airlines Flight 93 before it crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, at 10:03 a.m. Sept. 11, 2001. In Washington that morning, a shootdown order that the vice president believed had reached the military never made it to a single fighter pilot in time to matter. The Shootdown Order That Never Arrived While Flight 93’s passengers organized their revolt in the plane’s final minutes, a breakdown was unfolding inside the White House and the military’s air defense network, one that the 9/11 Commission would later document in detail: 8:46…
On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, an off-duty firefighter with Brooklyn’s Squad 1 had just finished an overnight shift. He was on his way to play golf with his brothers when he heard that a plane had struck the World Trade Center. Stephen Siller turned his truck around, returned to the firehouse to retrieve his gear, and drove to the entrance of the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel. The tunnel had been closed to all traffic for security purposes. So he strapped on roughly 60 pounds of gear and ran the rest of the way on foot. He ran through the tunnel…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadPeople often look at preparedness through a basic lens of supplies, checklists, and storage rooms. And, yes, it feels great as our mountain if prepping supplies grows—I love it. That mindset covers the basics. It’s the logical starting point and does a lot of good for getting prepared. But people who go deeper into their preparedness—just like you are doing now, know that preparedness is a thinking game. You know that what works today might not tomorrow, and that rigid plans, like an egg, are easy to crack. If you’re reading this, odds are…
It started with an absolutely bizarre case where a six-year-old student shot his teacher. The school administrator dropped the ball and is still facing repercussions, and the student’s mom went to prison. It wasn’t so much because the kid had taken her gun, but that she use marijuana, which is a no-no. Or, more accurately, was a no-no. The Hemani decision came down and ruled that using marijuana recreationally was not sufficient cause for a lifetime ban from gun ownership.But the mother in that case, Deja Taylor, went to prison not so much because of what…
The Taurus RPC brings roller-delayed 9mm softness, full ambi controls, suppressor-ready hardware, and PDW-style swagger to a price point that should make MP5 fans uncomfortable. We ran 300 rounds through it to see what this little blaster is, what it is not, and whether you should grab one before they vanish. The Taurus RPC is a roller-delayed 9mm PDW-style pistol that debuted at NRAAM 2026 with an MSRP of $939.99, or $1,098.99 with the Strike Industries FSA folding brace. It ships with two 32-round proprietary magazines and a 4.5-inch threaded barrel. We put 300 rounds through one, across three bullet…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadLet’s be blunt—your mind is under attack. Not just by algorithms or platforms, but with encouragement from state actors, media networks, and other interests with something to gain by using us. Code. Curated chaos. The attention economy and psyop campaigns thrive on outrage, fear, and distraction, and you’re the product. Every angry scroll, every anxious click, every late-night doom-dive, every bit of influence gained over you? That’s more money and control in someone else’s pocket. And the cost to you? Clarity. Sanity. The ability to focus on what matters most. That feeling of overwhelm,…
Lithium-ion batteries power our lights, thermals, tools, cameras, and phones, but when they fail, they can fail violently. After one friend lost a house and my brother nearly lost his, I stopped treating battery storage like an afterthought. Lithium-ion batteries power everything from flashlights to power tools, but safe storage often gets overlooked until disaster strikes. We rely on lithium-ion batteries every day. They power our thermal scopes, flashlights, trail cameras, cordless tools, battery banks, and even the phones in our pockets. However, after seeing one house destroyed and another nearly burned down from lithium batteries, I take battery storage…
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel and the Hezbollah militant group agreed Friday to stop attacking each other, officials said, after talks between the U.S. and Iran were called off because of intense fighting in southern Lebanon that deepened doubts about the initial agreement to end the war in Iran. The apparent truce emerged after a heavy exchange of fire killed at least 47 people in southern Lebanon and four Israeli soldiers. Word of the attempt to halt the fighting came from two regional officials and a U.S. official. It was mediated by Qatar, the U.S. and Iran, the regional officials said.…
