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earned benefits protected, another 71% vehemently oppose the omnibus TCAVA unless a provision known as Section 108 is rescinded.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 | DownloadTalking about civil war preparedness isn’t something I enjoy. However, with tensions as high as they are—and nearly half the country believing it’s likely—it’s something we need to consider. A 2024 Marist poll found that 47% of Americans believe a second civil war could happen in their lifetime. When you consider the political anger, the cultural divide, and the daily signs of growing hostility, it’s not hard to see why. Add to that the foreign governments and domestic agitators who benefit from keeping us angry and divided. Then factor in how fast information—true or…
Native American veterans who want to buy, build, or improve a home on federal trust land have access to a unique benefit: the Native American Direct Loan (NADL) program. It offers eligible military families a path to homeownership that’s specifically designed for buying homes on tribal land, where traditional mortgage financing has historically been out of reach. Since Congress established the program in 1992 under Public Law 102-547, the VA has signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with 118 tribal governments, and the program continues to expand. In February 2026, the VA signed an MOU with the Squaxin Island Tribe in…

And suddenly, the things you quietly set aside—food, fuel, gear, cash—start looking like solutions to everyone else’s problems. Those solutions? They’re exactly what others will notice—and try to grab first. They’re the first target in any crisis. In a true crisis, what you have can make you a target—by anyone. Legal authority already exists to seize what you have or redirect what you need. And if the government doesn’t come for it, desperate people will. Every online order, every debit card swipe—those…
Alan Pacheco will not be going to prison for possessing a gun without an Illinois carry permit, one that he used to protect himself and his girlfriend from an assault almost two years ago. The 23-year-old, who was arrested after the shooting in the parking lot of a strip mall in Adams County, Illinois, originally faced attempted murder charges in addition to possessing a firearm without a license. The most serious charge was dropped on the first day of Pacheco’s trial, but he was still accused of two counts of aggravated discharge of a firearm…
LOS ANGELES — The B-52 bomber is considered a marvel not only of the U.S. military but of all aviation history. The massive plane remains a workhorse for the Air Force seven decades after it debuted in the 1950s, and military officials believe the fleet can continue through the century mark with regular modifications and modernization. Prized for their payloads, long ranges and ability to fly at high altitudes, B-52s have played a role in many U.S. conflicts, including the war with Iran. Now, an inquiry into why a B-52 Stratofortress crashed Monday shortly after takeoff at Edwards Air Force…
