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…
The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) is pushing back against calls for more gun control following Sunday’s deadly shooting at Seattle Center, arguing the tragedy underscores a crime problem rather than a gun problem. In a statement released Monday, CCRKBA Executive Director Andrew Gottlieb criticized Seattle officials for repeatedly referring to the incident as “gun violence” while failing to focus on the alleged criminal behavior behind the attack. “It took 17 hours for police to acknowledge the suspect they had in custody is only 15 years old,” Gottlieb said. “And then Seattle Police Chief…
Despite both genres being individually well-represented, open-world RPGs aren’t actually all that common, so we need to cherish each one of them. Everybody knows Skyrim and The Witcher 3, or even modern greats like Crimson Desert, but the same cannot be said for every game. In fact, a few true gems have been largely forgotten by time, remembered only by select die-hard fans and referenced solely in these types of articles. Let’s change that. If you find yourself staring at your video game library, unsure what to play, then these forgotten open-world RPGs could bring a spark back into your…
B&T USA is making a big investment in its American manufacturing footprint, and the company says customers should start seeing the benefits almost immediately. The firearms and suppressor manufacturer announced this week that it has significantly expanded its production facility in Herriman, Utah, transforming what was a small operation into a full-scale manufacturing hub in less than a year. The numbers tell the story. When B&T USA began upgrading the 88,000-square-foot facility in late 2025, the operation consisted of just three employees, two industrial 3-D printers and a single CNC machine. Today, the Utah location employs more than 55 people…
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s meeting with President Donald Trump on Tuesday is the first since the two leaders launched a joint war against Iran and marks a chance for Netanyahu to smooth out strains in their relationship. The meeting comes as both face growing pressures at home. Netanyahu is up for reelection and is embattled in part because of his deteriorating relationship with Trump. Trump is under pressure to end an unpopular war that has wreaked economic havoc and driven prices higher ahead of midterm elections this November. Trump revealed some tension with Netanyahu ahead of…

At some point over the next couple of months the Supreme Court is likely to rule that the federal prohibition on gun ownership for marijuana users violates the Second Amendment, but for now it’s still illegal for any “unlawful” user of drugs to purchase or possess firearms, even if they’re not in violation of state law. That federal prohibition led to a pair of Jersey City police officers getting reassigned for their off-duty consumption of marijuana, but the New Jersey Court of Appeals recently sided with the cannabis-loving cops and ordered the Jersey City Police…
The state of diesel in the US is such that you can pretty much dominate the segment if you just stick to your guns and offer a few different models with diesel engine options. If you’re willing to risk the production costs that come with building and installing an engine that few American drivers will want to buy. Gasoline is cheaper in the US than in most of the world, meaning that we’re not really looking to diesel as a cost-efficient alternative, and Dieselgate scared a lot of us off these engines entirely. According to Baum & Associates, diesel made…
United States President Donald Trump has rejected an Iranian peace plan, calling the proposal “totally unacceptable.” At the same time, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that the war was “not over.” Trump issued the statement on his TruthSocial feed, rejecting the “unacceptable” Iranian proposal aimed at ending the war. “I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called “Representatives.” I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.” Iran offered to transfer some of its stockpile of highly enriched uranium to a third country, but rejected the idea of dismantling its nuclear facilities,…

There are currently seven candidates vying the GOP nod in the crowded Maine gubernatorial primaries. Bearing Arms had a chance to interview four of them and Jonathan Bush was one. Bush is widely known for being in the medical-tech industry and former CEO and co-founder of athenahealth. The father of seven attended Boston University and Wesleyan University, then received his MBA from Harvard. “I’m a Veteran. I’m an entrepreneur,” said Bush. “Started multiple companies and helped dozens of companies get set up in Maine, but most of my life has been as a CEO.” Bush’s…
To thrive and survive outdoors, safety begins far before the trailhead. It starts the minute you get behind the wheel. Don’t overlook the first, and most critical, rule of the road: Put on your seat belt. After that, an enjoyable trail excursion extends beyond the drive to etiquette and execution on the run — or hike — itself. Planning and preparation matter, especially when you’re sharing multiuse trails. While your experience level and comfort with the terrain also factor into the risks at hand, there are simple ways to come home safely. (That goes for the dog you might be…
An 8-year-old elementary school student in Georgia will be back in class today after serving a three-day suspension for allegedly crafting a weapon in school last week. The weapon in question? A few LEGO bricks put together in such a way that if you squint hard enough, it might vaguely resemble a gun. The child’s mom reached out to local media after she was informed that her son had violated the school district’s weapons policy; a call that she says was completely unexpected The mother said her son, who has autism and ADHD, did not threaten…
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran and the United States were at an impasse again Monday over how to end their war while their ceasefire grew increasingly shaky, with the two sides exchanging fire in recent days, ships and Gulf states being targeted, and fighting flaring between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. The volatility could tip the Middle East back into open warfare and prolong the worldwide energy crisis sparked by the conflict, with Iran’s chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz and America’s blockade of Iranian ports still in place. U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to…
Bill Maher is probably one of the more respected names in political commentary these days. While the comedian turned host has never pretended to be anything but a liberal, he’s clearly one of the sane ones and one who is willing to call out his own side when they get stupid. I don’t always agree with him, but he’s not someone I’m willing to dismiss out of hand, either. He’s the guy on the left I’m most interested in sitting down and having a bourbon with. And his latest case of calling his own side…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump, in his return to the White House, has demonstrated greater ambivalence toward Taiwan, an approach that’s raising questions ahead of this week’s summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping about whether the U.S. leader could be open to dialing back support for the island democracy that Beijing views as its breakaway province. Trump in December authorized an $11 billion arms package for Taiwan — the largest weapons sale ever to the island — but has not yet moved forward with delivery and even acknowledged that he’s discussed the sale with Xi. He’s groused that Taiwan…
This article was originally published by Matt Hisrich at The Mises Institute. While reading The Wealth of Shadows—Graham Moore’s excellent historical novel about pre-World War II global finance—I couldn’t help but feel a growing sense of unease regarding the current state of international economics. Set just before the United States enters World War II, the book follows the adventures of a plucky group of Treasury Department employees unofficially working to undermine the German economy while officially maintaining the US position of neutrality. Two figures outside of the US loom large in the narrative—Hjalmar Schacht in Germany and John Maynard Keynes in…
Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming part of military operations. The Pentagon has expanded partnerships with major AI companies for classified systems, the Army is integrating AI into battlefield intelligence analysis, and defense planners increasingly see AI as essential for future command-and-control systems. That expansion has created a serious new security concern: AI sleeper agents. Most people worry about AI making mistakes or generating false information. AI sleeper agents are different. The danger is not accidental failure; it is instead hidden behavior intentionally embedded inside an AI system that remains dormant until a specific event or set of conditions activates it.…
