CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The two NASA astronauts who led the Artemis II moonshot earlier this year are stepping away from spaceflight. NASA announced Wednesday that Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman and pilot Victor Glover will no longer serve as active astronauts but will continue to support the moon exploration program as emeritus astronauts. Glover has taken a leadership job at his alma mater, California Polytechnic State University, while Wiseman’s future plans weren’t disclosed. They flew around the moon in April with two other astronauts, setting a new distance record for humanity. Artemis II’s Jeremy Hansen retired from the…

Brian Bengs says he is running for the U.S. Senate in South Dakota on the “cowboy code of the West,” meaning he will do two things if elected into the exclusive chamber: tell the truth, and take care of neighbors. Bengs is a U.S. Navy veteran who is no stranger to running for office. In 2022, he ran as a Democrat for a U.S. Senate seat against then-Senate Minority Whip John Thune, who attained roughly 70% of the vote and is now the Senate majority leader. Rounds, a former two-term governor in the state, was first elected in 2014 and…

Michael Barasch has been one of the staunchest advocates on behalf of roughly 500,000 civilians, law enforcement and first responders who have suffered from countless diseases correlated to the World Trade Center attacks 25 years ago. Barasch, an attorney at the New York City-based law firm Barasch & McGarry, was instrumental in working on behalf of more than 140,000 survivors and first responders who have benefited over the years from World Trade Center Health Program (WTCHP) funding approved after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that included victims at the Pentagon and in Shanksville, Pa. WTCHP is defined by the…

A $533 million artillery factory built to help replenish America’s supply of 155 mm shells instead became plagued by robot fires, malfunctioning equipment and production failures, ultimately failing to deliver a single usable shell, according to a ProPublica piece. Outside of Dallas, the General Dynamics facility was intended to become a central piece of the Army’s effort to dramatically expand artillery production following the ammunition that has been lost in recent world events. Instead, the Army halted two of that facility’s three production lines in Aug.2025 after General Dynamics missed eight deadlines. As reported by ProPublica, inside the plant, there…
If you follow watch culture at all, you’ll quickly realize that “watch people” take their stuff pretty seriously. Maybe that’s why Christopher Ward is such a breath of fresh air. With the release of the C60 Pool Diver ($1,475 with a steel Bader bracelet, and $1,250 with an Aquaflex rubber strap), Christopher Ward offers a super-functional watch with a sense of humor. It’s self-deprecating in ways few brands try to be. And realistically, it’s much more in tune with how most people actually use a dive watch. The Pool Diver is a follow-up to the wildly popular Desk Diver watch,…
Throughout most of our nation’s history, gun control was a relatively rare thing. It existed, but it was an oppressive system designed to disarm groups that were viewed unfavorably by the public at large. Those included black men and women, Native Americans, and Catholics. Because “Catholic” was a race or something. I don’t understand it, either. Still, those laws were there specifically to keep certain groups from exercising their civil liberties. This is well known and well documented.Also well documented, though not as well known, was that the so-called Wild West was one of the…
Some interviews are controversial because the guest says something outrageous. Others are controversial because the guest says something many people don’t want to hear. Heather Mac Donald’s recent interview with John Stossel falls firmly into the second category. The Manhattan Institute scholar touched on several third-rail topics, including race, policing, gun violence, media coverage, and what she sees as the unintended consequences of anti-police rhetoric. Whether you agree with her conclusions or not, the interview stands out because it challenges several narratives that have become conventional wisdom in much of the legacy media. Mac Donald’s central argument is simple: America…

Under Hawaii’s “sensitive places” law, all government buildings are “gun-free zones,” at least in theory. Like most supposedly sensitive places, though, many of those locations feature no special security measures; no magnetometers, no armed guards, and no secured entrances. They’re sensitive in name only, and their “gun-free” status essentially depends on an honor code. The inability of these Sensitive In Name Only locations to keep people safe and secure was on full display recently in Maui, where a man stands accused of brandishing a pistol at county employees in a planning office in Wailuku a…
Forced to dig his own grave in Iraq, Fabrizio Quattrocchi answered his killers with one final act of raw defiance. This is a hard look at death, faith, courage, and the Italian who refused to die quietly. Death, Faith, and the Question Fabrizio Quattrocchi Forces Us to Face Today, we are going to talk about some pretty dark stuff. Death rightfully makes people uncomfortable. It is the innately unknowable nature of the thing that leaves folks so predictably discomfited. We all have theories. However, by definition, if somebody is talking about it, they’ve not yet actually given it a whirl…
