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,…
A veteran has been named as one of the individuals who died in a shooting that took place in Minneapolis, Minn., last week, killing three people and injuring six others. The gunman, identified by the New York Times as Carlton Neal Johnson II, a 35-year-old who was facing eviction from his apartment, carried out the killings Sept. 2 in the Shoreline Plaza apartment building. The Minnestoa Bureau of Criminal Apprehension on Thursday named veteran Dale Henry Spry, 63, and Muse A. Afrah, 61, as the victims who were killed. The suspected shooter also killed himself. Six others were injured, including…
President Donald Trump’s new Space Force uniform proposals have sparked comparisons to Nazi military attire after Trump said the science fiction movie Starship Troopers inspired the design. Trump created the Space Force in 2019 during his first administration. The service falls under the Department of Defense (DOD) and is the smallest of the major branches, with an authorized end strength of 10,400 in Fiscal Year 2026. The service is in charge of securing U.S. space interests. Trump posted an AI graphic on Sunday on Truth Social depicting the proposed “next generation” Space Force service dress uniform, which showed dark peaked…
The amicus brief submitted by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in the Viramontes case claims to be in support of neither the plaintiffs nor the defenders of “assault weapon” bans, which is an odd take considering what the bishops actually have to say. There’s little doubt that the clergy would like to see the challenged gun bans upheld by the Court. The gist of their argument is that the justices “should reject the view that gun ownership figures alone can place a category of weapons constitutionally and irrevocably beyond all regulation.”Amicus takes no position…
MIAMI (AP) — Secretary of State Marco Rubio begins a three-nation tour of Latin America on Tuesday, visiting U.S.-aligned conservative leaders as the Trump administration steps up military operations to combat drug trafficking and seeks further inroads in the Western Hemisphere aimed at improving America’s energy standing and combating illegal migration. Just a week after sealing a massive oil deal with Venezuelan leaders after a U.S. military operation in January deposed then-leader Nicolás Maduro, Rubio was traveling to neighboring Colombia to meet President Abelardo de la Espriella. Colombia’s new leader has embraced President Donald Trump’s policies on issues ranging from…
The week-long national convention of veterans and active-duty military support organization, The American Legion, came to an end on Sept. 4, with a major development. The organization adopted a resolution that backs the use of psychedelic therapies to treat veterans and other members of the military who may be suffering from mental health conditions such as PTSD, depression or a traumatic brain injury. The resolution titled “Novel Therapeutics for Mental Health Conditions and Traumatic Brain Injury” was adopted to support the Veterans Health Administration’s Novel Therapeutics Preparedness Act. It’s a bipartisan bill introduced in the U.S. Senate in March by…

The U.S. Virgin Islands Senate adopted a massive gun control bill on Friday after more than a year of gamesmanship and giving gun owners the runaround, and at almost the same moment as the U.S. Department of Justice filed a motion for a temporary injunction blocking the territory’s abusive gun licensing law from being enforced by the USVI Police Commissioner Mario Brooks. The gun control bill, known as Bill 36-0144, would make the already restrictive gun laws in the U.S. Virgin Islands measurably worse. It imposes a ban on magazines that can hold more than…
This article was originally published by Willow Tohi at Natural News. Oncologist Dr. Angus Dalgleish observed six melanoma patients relapse within six weeks of receiving COVID-19 booster shots, prompting him to investigate a possible link between mRNA vaccines and cancer progression. Dalgleish testified before a U.S. Senate subcommittee on June 3, 2026, urging the removal of mRNA COVID vaccines from the market due to what he described as T-cell exhaustion and immune system changes. The oncologist reported similar cancer progression patterns in colorectal, breast, prostate, blood cancers, and gliomas, including younger patients with more aggressive disease and reduced treatment efficacy.…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Friday that a “swift and lethal kinetic” U.S. strike has killed Héctor Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, whom he called “the infamous leader” of the Tren de Aragua gang. Tren de Aragua has been labeled by the United States as a terrorist organization. Guerrero Flores was charged in a New York federal court with racketeering conspiracy and other crimes, including lending support to terrorists in crimes that stretched more than a decade, authorities announced in December. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth posted on X that the strike occurred earlier in the week on a Tren de…
Machine gun conversion devices, often called “Glock switches,” were designed by a third party, produced by third parties, and sold by third parties, none of which have anything at all to do with Glock, but that’s never stopped those pushing the hysteria about these switches from trying to ban the entire brand. Several states either have or are seriously working on implementing such a ban, all because of the supposed threat that these devices represent.As noted last week, many of the subjects of anti-gun hysteria aren’t really the threat they’re made out to be, including…
Sen. Jim Banks (R-Ind.), an Afghanistan veteran, did not mince words this week about the initial design concept for the Global War on Terrorism Memorial on the National Mall: “This proposal is a disgrace.” The lawmaker is among some members of Congress speaking out against the concept of the memorial. Artist renderings were unveiled June 10 and designed by renowned Japanese architecture firm Kengo Kuma & Associates. While the foundation has highlighted years of input from more than 20,000 Americans, including veterans and Gold Star families, some lawmakers and many post-9/11 veterans have said the modern, abstract elements fall short…

Allie Delury traded her role as an Air Force combat camera operator for something a little less stressful: a feature film producer. However, speaking days before her short film “Fault” was set to debut at the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival in New York City, Delury was feeling a rush of nervous energy she hadn’t experienced in a while. “I’m over the moon,” Delury told Military.com. “Coming from my background, not getting into film until later than most, it feels very, very surreal that my film is debuting at Tribeca, one of the top five film festivals in the world. I…

Boating season is officially here, and while the thrill of being on the open water appeals to millions, it can be especially appealing to veterans. Recreationally, the peacefulness and tranquility of boating offer several mental health benefits, along with opportunities for a successful transition out of the service for veterans looking for work in the boating industry. Veterans at Brunswick Corporation, a Tampa-based company, told Military.com they found a strong sense of camaraderie and purpose working for the large boating manufacturer, home to brands such as Boston Whaler, Mercury Marine, Sea Ray and Bayliner. “We employ a strong veteran population…
