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…
Whenever I drive into Richmond from my home in rural central Virginia, I pass by American Family Pawn and Gun, or at least the building where that gun shop used to be. Despite a pretty good location on a busy four-lane highway in the Richmond exurb of Powhatan, Virginia, the store closed its doors for good a little more than a year ago. The owners of American Family aren’t alone. As American Rifleman reports, the number of Class 01 and Class 02 FFLs across the country has declined by more than 10 percent in the…

War is bad for business, unless you’re an arms dealer. It puts the economy into decline, makes people not spend, and can affect supply lines. When World War Two broke out, the US was in one of the better positions compared to the rest of the world to weather the storm. While there was a huge industrial effort to produce as much equipment, weapons, and vehicles for the army as possible, people back home had to get around and still needed new cars. General Motors was one of the most popular automotive companies at this time – with the onslaught…
Summary Not giving up nuclear program: Iran will “guard” its “advanced technologies” like it does its own borders, Mojtaba Khamenei said in a written speech read aloud by state TV. It will “secure the Persian Gulf region and dismantle the hostile enemy’s exploitation of this waterway.” US military teases cutting-edge, not yet tested in battle, hypersonic missiles for the Mideast region as CENTCOM head set to brief Trump on further military options at White House.

In theory, preemption laws should stop local governments from trying to push through local gun control. After all, they know it won’t stand as it violates state law, so why bother? Why not do something more productive, like licking door knobs and calling them “Lucille.” Yeah, I’m not running on much sleep right now, so things could get weird. Anywho…preemption.The truth of the matter is that despite the laws on the books in numerous states, you still get little twerp in local government who thinks he or she matters more than they do, trying to…

WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth appeared before Congress at a pair of hourslong hearings this week for the first time since the Trump administration went to war against Iran, with the Pentagon chief facing tough questions from skeptical Democrats. Hegseth seemed to emerge with solid Republican support over his leadership and handling of the war. But a few GOP lawmakers questioned his dismissal of a top Army general, while some sought assurances that the Pentagon is doing everything possible to prevent civilian deaths. The hearings Wednesday and Thursday before the House and Senate Armed Services committees delved into the…

Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Ted Budd (R-NC) on Thursday introduced the Veterans Protection from Fraud Act of 2026, a bipartisan proposal aimed at increasing criminal penalties for individuals who deliberately target veterans in fraud schemes. The bill, introduced in the 119th Congress, would amend 18 U.S.C. § 2326 to impose a sentencing enhancement of up to 10 years in prison for defendants convicted of fraud offenses that intentionally target veterans. Lawmakers say the measure is designed to deter increasingly common scams that exploit veterans’ benefits, financial stability, and trust in government institutions. “Every day, our servicemembers risk…
