The Department of Defense (DOD) has announced a change in its cybersecurity strategy, suspending a phase of a pre-existing plan to strengthen cybersecurity compliance over concerns about the cost and bureaucracy involved in implementing it. DOD said in a release that it was suspending phase two of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program due to costs for small businesses. It was originally scheduled to go into effect this November. CMMC was first established in 2019 under the first Trump administration to ensure third-party contractors were safely holding and transmitting Pentagon data, but it has proved controversial among third parties,…

Charles Whitman’s UT Tower sniper attack was a nightmare collision of mental illness, firearms, courage, and chaos. The bloody 93 minutes that followed helped push American law enforcement into the modern tactical age. We are all fascinated with psychopathology. It’s like watching a car wreck. You cannot take your eyes off of it. Serious mental illness is no joke. While sometimes it seems that everybody in America is on some mood-altering drug, legit homicidal lunatics are thankfully quite rare. When you encounter one in the wild, they are a wonder to behold. The Brutal Origin Story Behind Charles Whitman Charles…
The Browning X-Bolt Speed SR pairs a handy 20-inch suppressor-ready barrel with the hard-hitting 7mm PRC, then backs it up with repeatable sub-MOA accuracy at 100 and 300 yards. The Browning X-Bolt Speed SR (Suppressor Ready) takes advantage of the high-performance Hornady 7mm PRC cartridge to make an impressive hunting combination. Mounting a suppressor on a long barrel can make a rifle long and unwieldy. The X-Bolt Speed SR sports a 20-inch fluted barrel to make the rifle handle well with or without a suppressor installed. Browning X-Bolt Speed SR 7mm PRC: The Bottom Line Browning did a fantastic job…
The ScopeMate S28-TSC Max packs 4K recording, a genuinely useful touchscreen, and a removable 18650 battery into one rifle scope camera. It is one of the easiest systems I’ve used in the field, but the image quality leaves a catch that shooters spending $600 need to see. ScopeMate S28-TSC Max Review: A Different Kind of 4K Scope Camera The ScopeMate S28-TSC Max records 4K video through your rifle scope with a built-in touchscreen and removable 18650 battery. Recording your shots through a rifle scope has become increasingly popular among hunters and precision rifle shooters. The ScopeMate S28-TSC Max enters an…
The United States has chosen to hold off on a major strike on Iran due to a short supply of air defense missiles. The missile shortage can be blamed on a number of things; however, the main idea is that the US chose to “donate” a large chunk of its war supplies to Ukraine. US Halting Some Weapons Shipments To Ukraine As Own Military Stockpiles Plummet Iran and the US have exchanged strikes for nearly two weeks since a fragile ceasefire reached in spring collapsed. Both sides are also accusing each other of violating a 14-point memorandum of understanding (MoU),…
Every day in the United States, someone uses a gun for self-defense. Most of the time, these never make the news. They either draw it and scare off the bad guy, or they’re used against an animal or something else that isn’t interesting to journalists. Either way, they use them, they protect themselves, then they go on about their day. The state of Hawaii would have you believe, though, that armed citizens aren’t protecting themselves. They want you to think that people who carry guns are a threat and need to be excluded.Over at our…
The Department of Justice just picked a HUGE fight with Denver. In a newly filed lawsuit, the DOJ is challenging the city’s long-standing ban on so-called “assault weapons,” arguing it violates the Second Amendment by prohibiting firearms that are in common use: specifically AR-15-style rifles. They’re not being subtle about it. “The Constitution is not a suggestion and the Second Amendment is not a second-class right,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. At the center of the case is Denver’s ordinance that makes it a crime to possess certain semi-automatic rifles. According to the DOJ, that includes AR-15-style firearms. By…
SWAT officers responded to an emergency situation on Tuesday at the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Systems Center in Natick, Mass., which was later discovered to involve an on-duty officer. Police were called to the facility, known as Natick Labs, at 9:15 a.m. for a possible distressed individual. “This person that we were looking for was an on-duty security officer for the base,” Natick Police Department Chief Jim Hicks said in a news conference. “The officers were working to talk with him, to discuss with him what was going on. He fled the officers into an area of the base, where…
United States ruler Donald Trump is struggling to win over the American civilians. His disapproval rating is now at an all-time high of 62%. In a survey published by the Washington Post on Monday, most Americans are dissatisfied with Trump’s job performance, while his approval stands at just 37%. Trump has repeatedly attacked the outlet, accusing it of publishing “fake” news stories. However, with the War Department’s push toward Christian nationalism, many Americans are feeling like they are sliding into tyranny. Christian Nationalist Pete Hegseth Pushes Religion In The Military Opposition to the Iran war is a key factor in Trump’s…
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s official hunting and fishing access order is now at the center of a fight over local hunting restrictions in National Park Service units where hunting is already allowed. Burgum signed Secretarial Order 3447 in January 2026, directing Interior agencies to expand hunting and fishing access, remove unnecessary barriers, and ensure consistent policy across department-managed lands and waters. Now, an April 21 internal memo and park-by-park spreadsheet have raised questions about how that order will apply to local hunting restrictions created by park superintendents and land managers. Interior and the National Park Service haven’t publicly posted those…
We still don’t have many details about what happened the first time the Trump administration tried to deliver small arms to resistance groups inside Iran earlier this year, other than the president’s comments that the guns never got to where they were going. Still, President Trump appears to be willing to give it another go, based on remarks he made to Salem Media’s Hugh Hewitt on Monday. “Well, look, the problem is you can’t — if you have five people with a gun, and 250,000 [without], the five people with a gun, assuming it’s used…
A routine Sunday turned into chaos in Garland, Texas and it ended with a father defending his entire family in a split-second decision. According to reporting from Fox 4 Dallas-Fort Worth, a suspect went on a violent spree near Highway 66 and Dairy Road, crashing into multiple vehicles before attempting to carjack a family of eight. That’s when everything escalated. Witnesses say the man was acting erratically, trying to force his way into several vehicles in a nearby parking lot. Surveillance video shows him moving with intent, targeting cars one after another. Then he picked the wrong one. Inside the…
Senate Republicans are pushing a $1 billion White House security plan after a recent assassination attempt on President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. The proposal, part of a broader $70 billion Senate package focused on immigration enforcement and law enforcement spending, comes as the administration and GOP lawmakers and right-of-center social media influencers quickly seized on the incident to justify fast-tracking what has been considered a controversial ballroom project. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, released the proposal as part of the broader reconciliation package. “The White House applauds Congress’s latest proposal…
With the onset of warm weather, bears are fully out of hibernation, and that’s already spelling trouble in one of America’s most iconic national parks. On May 4, two hikers sustained injuries from a bear in a popular area of Yellowstone National Park. What Happened According to a press release from the National Park Service (NPS), two hikers were on the Mystic Falls Trail, a well-known hike near Old Faithful. They had an altercation with one or multiple bears, and emergency services personnel responded. Park staff are actively investigating the incident. As a result, staff temporarily closed several areas of the…
The United Kingdom is often touted as having fewer so-called gun crimes than the United States, and that’s evidence we should do something similar. However, when you delve into the details, you see that crime continues not just unabated, but it has increased. The criminals often just used other weapons, which benefited them, but were terrible for self-defense purposes. The UK’s Reform Party, led by Nigel Farage, isn’t popular with the more leftist elements of British politics. That’s probably an endorsement, in my book, but while they’re pretty far-right by UK standards, they’re almost middle…
One of the last truly independent mainstream automakers is having a hard time in 2026. Through the first four months of the year, almost every single Mazda model is selling worse than it was in the same time period in 2025, something that could probably be attributed to the Trump administration’s aggressive tariff tactics. Only one Mazda is built in the United States, the CX-50, and that model (along with the suddenly popular Mazda3 hatchback) is seemingly immune to the company’s sales slump, with much-improved sales this year. Built In Alabama, Made For America Sales of the compact crossover rose…
The head of United States Central Command (CENTCOM), Admiral Brad Cooper, told journalists on Monday that the US military “eliminated” a small Iranian naval force in the region. Iranian military officials have already said that the US is lying about these claims. Cooper claimed that the US military sank at least six Iranian boats, boasting of “an enormous amount of capability and firepower concentrated in and around the strait, including AH-64 Apache and MH-60 Seahawk helicopters.” “The US claim regarding the sinking of a number of Iranian combat boats is a lie,” a senior Iranian military official told IRIB news agency, as…
