For decades, the Army’s CH-47 Chinook helicopter has not only transported thousands of soldiers but has also served as a symbol of strength for the U.S. military. Even President Donald Trump praised the “massive Chinook” in February’s State of the Union address, referring to the daring mission to capture Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro from his heavily fortified compound. But while most Americans recognize the Chinook as a versatile military workhorse, few know it is named after one of North America’s most prestigious indigenous tribes – the Chinook Indian Nation. Sam Robinson is fighting to change that. Robinson is an Army veteran and a proud…

A sweeping wartime shift is underway inside the Army, with officials saying the service is accelerating AI-driven targeting and rushing weapons from “factory to frontline” as soldiers are engaged in active combat.The remarks, delivered Wednesday by officials at the Association of the United States Army’s Global Force Symposium in Huntsville, Alabama, come as leaders emphasize a faster, more direct link between battlefield operations, weapons production and how the service buys and fields equipment.“This month, our army is engaged in active combat,” Under Secretary of the Army Michael Obadal said.Officials said the shift is designed to cut through peacetime bureaucracy, prioritizing…
The Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) has a New York law that forbids legal carry of concealed firearms for self-defense in New York’s Times Square, centered in its crosshairs. On March 20, FPC attorneys filed the lawsuit Goldberger v. James with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Specifically, the lawsuit challenges New York’s “sensitive location” handgun carry ban in Times Square. As many TTAG readers likely remember, after the crucial Supreme Court decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, New York quickly passed sweeping gun control laws in response. Those laws included…
The best arguments that the gun control lobby have at their disposal are emotional in nature, and nothing tugs on the heartstrings more than the deaths of innocent children. The loss of those young lives are undeniably tragic, but they shouldn’t be politicized. And when the media deploy outright falsehoods to push for more gun laws, they need to be called out. The Cleveland Plain Dealer has published an article claiming that “gun violence” is the leading cause of death for children in Ohio, based on a new report by Children’s Defense Fund-Ohio. The problem…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. At least seven people were killed in Ukraine on Tuesday after Russia launched a truly massive drone attack that’s said to be the largest of the four-year war. Counting both drones and cruise missiles, 979 warheads poured into Ukrainian airspace as diplomatic efforts at ending the war remain stalled, and the world’s attention is focused almost entirely on the US-Israeli war on Iran.

As it stands, a lot of people in Australia haven’t been able to own a gun for a very long time. Sure, many could, but far more couldn’t. It didn’t stop a father and son duo with ties to ISIS from not just getting firearms, but then using them to mow down innocent Jewish worshippers trying to celebrate one of the holiest times of the year, and not just for Jews. But, anti-gunners are gonna anti-gun, and what we saw in Australia is what people expect to play out everywhere else. There’s going to be new…
The United States is known for its sanctions that don’t accomplish anything. Now China is trying the same tactic. Beijing has sanctioned twenty U.S. defense firms over arms sales to Taiwan. Sanctions do little if anything to coerce countries into obeying and complying with threats. At the end of the day, most just say “no” and continue with business as usual, and unless force is used by the military, a decree by a ruler to another ruler isn’t impactful because they both think they have the right to decline. After constantly warning that Washington is “playing with fire” in continually…

Most van build guides assume you can build cabinetry and wire 12V systems. They assume van interiors are square. They’re not. Those curved walls and angled ribs make cabinet building exponentially harder. They think you have more than hand tools — or will buy them. Where do those go? I’m not a carpenter or electrician. But I’ve stumbled my way through several builds to know where DIYers waste money and time. This is the parts roadmap I wish I’d had.
