The Supreme Court wants to hear from the city of New York after the Firearms Policy Coalition, Second Amendment Foundation, and several individual plaintiffs asked the Court to accept their lawsuit challenging the Big Apple’s ban on stun guns. The request from the High Court doesn’t guarantee that the justices will grant cert in Calce v. New York, but it does indicate that one or more justices are interested in the lawsuit. Back in 2016, SCOTUS issued a per curiam opinion in Caetano v. Commonwealth of Massachusetts that rejected the state’s arguments in favor its own stun…

A Purple Heart award that a soldier who was wounded in action during World War II received was transferred to his family on Saturday after a woman found it in her father-in-law’s belongings. Leo Delphus Duverney, born in North Adams, Mass., entered the U.S. Army in September 1943, according to Vermont News and Media, which reported the transfer. He served with the 15th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division and was wounded in the battle for Rome on May 26, 1944. The Army honorably discharged him in December 1945, and he moved to southern Vermont to operate a garage.…
A trove of documents released Tuesday by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani show that city officials masked health concerns in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, even as they were privy to the potential hazards. Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani announced the release of more than 170,000 pages of city records documenting the government’s response to the attacks, including pages of records concerning health concerns, air quality and the city’s response to the day that will be commemorated this Friday on its 25th anniversary. The city also announced settlements pertaining to two lawsuits brought by…
A former U.S. Navy commander said Tuesday that keeping the Strait of Hormuz open is an “international responsibility” that does not just fall on the United States’ shoulders. Control of the Strait of Hormuz has remained a point of contention throughout the ongoing war with Iran, primarily because it serves as the world’s most vital oil transit chokepoint. Any disruption directly threatens global energy security and economic stability, as Americans have personally experienced with above-average gas and grocery prices. John Miller, a retired vice admiral (lowercase), told CNBC on Tuesday that commercial shipping won’t travel along the waterway, unless the…
Patrick Jones says he hasn’t decided if he’ll move forward with plans for a shooting range on land he owns in Shasta County, California after a local judge wrapped the project in red tape, but he does have a message for those who were trying to stop the range from being built. “I am still going to shoot there,” Jones told the local paper, adding that he and friends “do a lot of shooting there.”Neighbors might not like it, but Jones says he “can shoot on private property, and friends can come over and shoot.”Jones,…
The Pentagon is using military medical and personnel records to identify service members with current or past diagnoses of gender dysphoria as it moves to separate transgender troops under the Trump administration’s ban, according to a Federal News Network investigation published Monday. The effort has led commanders across the military to receive notices identifying troops in their units who may fall under the policy and directing them to begin the separation process, per the report. The outlet cited multiple service members, advocates and internal military documents. An internal Air Force email obtained by Federal News Network said the Office of…

Timothy Gick admits he wasn’t excited about helping with Toys for Tots in 2022. The Marine reservist already had plenty to do while activated in the San Francisco Bay Area, and a trip to the toy warehouse meant more work. Once he got there, though, he began looking through the donations and wondering what he might make for kids himself. “I hadn’t been around toys in years,” Gick told Military.com. The result was Mission Match, a game product line from his company Adigeni LLC, under the brand Not A Very Good Teacher. The fitness-focused project, Mission Match: Hyperion, was tested…
There are four separate lawsuits challenging Virginia’s ban on “assault firearms” and “large capacity” magazines in state court at the moment, and the Virginia Supreme Court has established a three-judge panel to decide if the cases should be consolidated and, if so, where the consolidated cases should be heard. The plaintiffs in these cases have argued that each of the lawsuits raise different objections about the gun and magazine ban and its relationship to Article 1, Section 13 of the Virginia Constitution. One of them, for example, raises a direct challenge to the law by…
If you’ve spent any time around USPSA or IPSC shooters, you’ve probably noticed a trend: everybody wants a pistol that shoots flatter, runs longer, and gets back on target faster. Beretta’s answer is the new 94X Performance. The Italian gunmaker recently unveiled the latest evolution of its competition-focused handgun line, and while it still carries plenty of familiar Beretta DNA, the company says this isn’t simply a refreshed 92X Performance. It’s a ground-up refinement built around a new Vertec Pro steel frame, redesigned ergonomics, and a host of upgrades aimed squarely at competitive shooters. At first glance, the biggest change…
Even though all military services achieved their recruiting goals for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025, enlistment bonuses are up. In 2026, military enlistment bonuses remain strongest in hard-to-fill technical, cyber, nuclear, and special operations fields, with the highest official enlistment figures reaching $140,000 in certain Navy programs, $75,000 in the Coast Guard, $50,000 in the Army, $40,000 in the Air Force, and $15,000 in the Marine Corps. While some types of bonuses, such as reenlistment bonuses, have been scaled back in favor of performance-based models, enlistment incentives for new enlisted recruits in critical fields are still extremely lucrative.

This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News. The Humiliation of the American Empire I have long wanted peace in the Middle East. Real peace, not a ceasefire that merely pauses the killing while leaving the root causes untouched. But the memorandum of understanding that President Donald Trump signed on June 14, 2026, is no peace deal — it is a surrender document dressed in diplomatic language. And yet, profoundly, it probably represents Trump’s best strategic move at this point. Agree to Iran’s terms and walk away (while claiming victory at home). As expected, Trump claims he’s…
If you want to explore the world of knives, beware: It is a slippery slope. In short order, I went from someone who only owned a single Swiss Army Knife to having shelves full of fixed blades, folders, automatics, and an array of sharpening paraphernalia. And as my collection has grown, so too has my mindset around knives. Where initially I wanted only the most useful all-around knife — a blade whose many functions would dictate its form — now I see knives the way I see bicycles or cars: Some are for everyday utility, some are for hard work or a…
I firmly believe that a firearm carried on your person needs to be in a proper holster. I’ve seen too many examples of people who didn’t carry that way shooting themselves unintentionally to feel any other way. I don’t like laws dictating it, such as what we have here in Georgia, but it’s another example of recognizing something is a good idea right up until you mandate it. In Texas, NBA player James Harden was arrested over his firearm not being in a holster. What made this dumber, though, was that he wasn’t carrying the…
A sealed copy of 1985’s Super Mario Bros. has broken the world record for the most expensive video game ever sold at auction, fetching a staggering $3 million. This particular copy of Super Mario Bros. caught the attention of collectors for several reasons, most notably its high-graded Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) certification, which essentially makes it the finest known example among its variants. Super Mario Bros. was originally released for the NES in 1985. It is widely regarded as one of the pioneering games of the platformer genre and, as the first entry in the Super Mario series, holds a…
Twenty years after Congress passed a law designed to protect firearm manufacturers from being sued over crimes they didn’t commit, Senate Republicans say anti-gun activists have found new ways to drag the industry into court. That’s why Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) and 15 Senate Republican colleagues introduced the Stopping Harmful and Outrageous Torts (SHOT) Act on Friday. The legislation would strengthen the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), the 2005 federal law that generally prevents firearm manufacturers, distributors, and dealers from being held liable when criminals misuse lawfully sold firearms. Supporters say the original law worked but not…
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Sunday that the United States is prepared to carry out additional military operations across Latin America similar to the recent strike in Venezuela that killed Tren de Aragua leader Héctor Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, known as “Niño Guerrero,” signaling a potentially broader campaign against cartels and transnational criminal groups in the hemisphere. Speaking on CBS’s Face the Nation, Hegseth said the Venezuelan interim government had invited U.S. military forces onto its territory to help eliminate the founder of the Venezuelan-born criminal organization, marking one of the clearest acknowledgments yet of direct U.S. military involvement inside Venezuela.…
The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been worsening. Right now, the virus is more concentrated in Congo’s eastern province of Ituri, which accounts for more than 90% of the cases. As cases reach 782, there have been 181 recorded deaths of the Bidibugyo strain of the Ebola virus, according to the Congolese Ministry of Health. NDTV reported that the number of cases in Congo is believed to be higher because the outbreak was confirmed on May 15th, weeks after it is suspected to have begun, and the contact tracing coverage rate is at 56%, a sharp decrease…
3D printers are one of the most fascinating bits of consumer technology I’ve seen in my lifetime. The idea that I can buy something on Amazon that can then be used to make dozens of household products, as well as create new things for my various hobbies and interests, still sounds like something out of science fiction. It’s not the replicator from Star Trek, but it’s a lot closer than I’d have thought we get when The Next Generation came out. And yeah, you can make guns with it. That’s just awesome, too. Why? Because…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump emerged from the Oval Office first, then fighters from around the globe followed straight into the fight cage, in part for the president’s 80th birthday celebration and to bring a sport long on the fringe of mainstream acceptance into a main event on the White House South Lawn. For a president who revels in winners, Trump had to enjoy crowning two champions on a big fight night staged closer to the Rose Garden than Madison Square Garden in the co-main event of UFC Freedom 250. American lightweight Justin Gaethje capped his unification championship victory…
