Stories about the stupidity of zero-tolerance policies in schools are hardly uncommon, but you’d think they’d at least slow down during summer break. The parents of a Georgia first-grader, though, are speaking out their son was suspended from school after biting his sandwich into the shape of a gun (or the letter L) and allegedly pointing it at a classmate. In fact, that’s just one of the punishments delivered to the child by school administrators, who the parents say should be more accommodating because of their son’s autism. School records show Sara Harp Minter Elementary administrators issued…

A fuel tanker in the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Yemen was hijacked by Somali pirates. The Tanzanian-flagged fuel and chemical tanker MT Asana has a crew of 20 on board and was seized on Friday. Iran Accuses The US Of Acting Like “Pirates” After departing the Yemeni port of Mukalla, seven armed pirates reportedly boarded the MT Asana and forced it into Somali territorial waters near Puntland, according to the Associated Press, which cited anonymous sources familiar with the incident. While Tanzanian authorities have not confirmed any details yet, United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) has stated…
Imagine you’re a first responder. Your patient has just broken their leg and is wet, underdressed, and nearly hypothermic. If you don’t have any clothes to change them into, you may have to offer your own, or some purchased for the occasion. And if the injury is serious enough, those nice base layers might get cut right off, never to be used again. That was the scenario that merino wool brand Minus 33 tackled head-on when it launched a program in 2017 to donate its factory seconds to a local search-and-rescue organization. The Search & Rescue (SAR) kit program repurposes…
Bans on so-called assault weapons are popular in anti-gun states, to say the least, but those days might be numbered. The Supreme Court has agreed to finally hear a couple of assault weapon ban cases, and I think everyone knows more or less how those will go. There’s almost no chance that the same Court that gave us Bruen will uphold bans on modern sporting rifles. But before the Supreme Court decided to hear it, numerous anti-gun states had passed such laws. Virginia, this year, became the latest.And, at the Washington Post, Stephen Gutowski has…

Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. Police in Gastonia, North Carolina, say a man was shot last week while allegedly trying to kick his way into a disabled 75-year-old homeowner’s house. Instead of admitting what happened, investigators say he and his girlfriend drove to a nearby gas station and claimed he’d been wounded in a random drive-by shooting. According to reports from WCNC and WBTV, that story unraveled quickly. The homeowner, Donald Bolynn, told reporters he’d already been targeted once before. So when he heard someone trying to force their way into his Ware Avenue home again, he wasn’t…
Whether you’re being deployed or will be at home for some time, maintaining your car is important. One of the most important aspects of car maintenance goes beyond changing its oil or rotating the tires; It also includes recognizing signs of trouble early. This means paying attention to unusual noises, dashboard warning lights, and the way your car drives. If you ignore these issues, they won’t go away and will likely get worse, especially if your car often sits in a garage or on base while you’re gone. Small leaks can turn into big ones over time and worn parts…
The circuit court split over young adults and their Second Amendment rights could deepen now that a federal judge in Connecticut has upheld the state and federal laws that prevent adults under the age of 21 from purchasing, possessing, and carrying a handgun. Zachary Succow and Samuel Towne, along with Connecticut Citizens Defense League and Second Amendment Foundation, filed their complaint against Attorney General Todd Blanche and a host of Connecticut officials last May, and Judge Sarala V. Nagala held a two-day bench trial, followed by post-trial briefing and oral argument earlier this year. After hearing…

Seventy-five years after a U.S. Air Force transport plane disappeared over the Yukon with 44 people aboard, a team of volunteers and investigators plans to use artificial intelligence and satellite technology to find it. The Douglas C-54 Skymaster departed Elmendorf Air Force Base on January 26, 1950, carrying 42 service members and Joyce Espe, a pregnant military wife traveling with her toddler son for medical care. Two hours into the flight, the crew radioed that ice was forming on the wings, but conditions were otherwise normal. The plane never made its next check-in and vanished without a trace. After an…

Navy Veteran Merle Ritter once told his family that he never had many birthday parties growing up. As a kid, his parents treated birthdays like any other day. Then the great depression set in, making birthdays even lower on the priority list. “It’s kind of sad when you think about it,” said Elaine Damewood, Ritter’s niece, in an interview with Military.com. “But I think we’ve more than made up for it in his later years.” Those later years came to a head on May 8, 2026, when Ritter, a veteran of World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam…
