Iran said mediators have been in touch with proposals on how to ease hostilities with the U.S. after several days of clashes, though tensions remain high after a threat by the Tehran-backed Houthi group to blockade Saudi Arabia. Esmail Baghaei, the Islamic Republic’s foreign ministry spokesman, said “ideas from some mediators have been conveyed” to Tehran, without giving further details. Tehran said its interior minister, Eskandar Momeni, is traveling to Pakistan on Monday. Qatar and Pakistan, the main intermediaries in the conflict, see a return to U.S.- Iran positions of pre- July 9 as a first step, according to semi-official…
Remember the First Gulf War? Persian Gulf War? Desert Storm and/or Desert Shield? They’re all the same war. Whatever we call it now, it was the war that expelled Iraqi troops from Kuwait, checked a decade of Saddam Hussein’s aggression toward his neighbors, and broke the specter of Vietnam that loomed over the U.S. military. U.S. troops had seen smaller actions before that time, but nothing like the scale and scope of a real “mother of all battles,” pitting Saddam’s Iraq vs. the United States and its UN-mandated coalition partners. “Yours is a society which cannot accept 10,000 dead in…
Gunsite Academy turns 50 this year and CEO Sheriff Ken Campbell dishes on this monumental period. We talked about custom guns, their charity shoot, and even cigars and rye whiskey. While attending the 2026 National Rifle Association Annual Meeting, Campbell stopped by to discuss Gunsite’s 50th anniversary, the academy, their charity shoot, beginners getting involved at Gunsite, youth camp, and much more. This interview was made possible by Beretta Holding, the sponsor of the Voices of the Second Amendment at the NRAAM.The Gunsite Academy was founded in 1976 by Lt. Col. Jeff Cooper. When the…
Drafts of the fiscal year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act have cleared both the House and Senate Armed Services Committees with bipartisan agreement on one thing: Military pay is going up Jan. 1, 2027. What Congress has not agreed on is how much — or whether every service member should get the same rate. The House passed a version of the NDAA that backs the White House’s proposal for a tiered pay raise, with the biggest increases going to junior enlisted personnel. The Senate passed a version that rejects the tiered approach entirely and proposes a flat 3.6 percent raise…
I do not like the Chinese government, and I honestly don’t care what anyone says about it. I’m sure many of the people are absolutely lovely and, from everything I’ve seen, it’s a beautiful country, but it’s run by commies who, I believe, are committed to destabilizing the United States and the West via whatever means they can. Yes, that’s my personal conspiracy theory, but nothing I’ve seen has suggested I’m wrong here.However, I need to be clear that I don’t believe for an instant that China is just focused on us. Oh no, all…
Since we’re now at a point in time where everything is considered a mass shooting, then I guess that’s what happened in Tucson early Sunday morning. Nine people were shot, none killed, in an incident that the media has reported as a mass shooting. And don’t get me wrong, it’s awful enough as it is. I’m glad no one was killed, and I only wish it hadn’t happened. No one wants to see these things, except maybe the anti-gunners who seem to see them as a handy tool with which they can advance their gun…
Gen. George S. Patton was a complicated military figure, but there can be little debate over whether he was quotable. Perhaps most famous for his commanding of the 7th Army during World War II, Old “Blood and Guts” often gave rousing speeches to motivate, inspire and educate his soldiers. We collected 11 of his most famous quotes (courtesy of his estate’s official website) that show how larger than life he really was. 1. ‘A Pint of Sweat Will Save a Gallon of Blood’ Soldiers are not good on the battlefield without training hard beforehand. Whether it’s a soldier, a civilian…
A concealed carry holder in Cerritos, California shot and killed a man at a busy barbecue restaurant on Sunday, after the knife-wielding man rushed into the restaurant and charged towards the armed citizen after being warned to drop his blade. According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the incident unfolded towards the end of the lunch rush at Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que, around 2:15 PM Sunday afternoon. Witnesses say the man with the knife had already slit his own throat when he burst into the restaurant. Eyewitness News spoke to an employee who described a graphic…
Chiappa is leaning into the “modern classic” idea with its latest release, the 92 Wildlands Field, a lever-action rifle that keeps the traditional 1892 design intact while adding a few updates aimed at real-world use. At its core, this is still very much a lever gun. The rifle runs on a Model 1892-style action, chambered in .44 Remington Magnum, and feeds from a tubular magazine holding 8+1 rounds. It’s a familiar setup (compact, simple, and proven) especially for shooters who like running revolver cartridges through a rifle. Where things start to shift a bit is in the details. Chiappa paired…
Authorities in Mexico aren’t saying much, at least officially, about the 27-year-old man who opened fire on tourists at the Teotihuacan archaeololgical complex on Monday, killing a Canadian tourist and wounding several others. We don’t know, for instance, if he acquired his pistol through one of the country’s two gun stores or if he got it on the black market. Officials have also been silent about the murderer’s motivations, though several media outlets in Mexico have claimed the killer may have been inspired by the Columbine shooting in Littleton, Colorado in 1999. The newspaper Milenio…
Hungary’s incoming prime minister, Peter Magyar, has warned that he will order the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he enters the country. This is a sharp reversal of predecessor Viktor Orban’s policy. Hungary’s Orbán Warns: “A 3rd World War Is Knocking On The Door” Before leaving, Orban initiated Hungary’s withdrawal from the International Criminal Court (ICC). While speaking at a press conference on Monday, Magyar said he would halt this action. As a member, Budapest would be legally responsible for enforcing arrest warrants. The ICC issued warrants for Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in…
When your family owns a fishing lodge on Alaska’s Dean River, chances are you’re going to grow up fishing. Oly Hickman is no exception. He’s tying his own flies, prowling the banks with his dad, casting, catching, and reeling in hogs. When he isn’t on the river, you’ll probably find him chasing frogs, digging up worms, and generally being a curious outdoor kid. Fishermen travel from all around Alaska and North America to come cast flies on the fabled Dean River, where Oly’s family owns their lodge. Oly’s dad, Jeff, is a guide with over a decade of experience. He…
Like California, Maryland could soon make it illegal to sell or transfer some of the most popular pistols in the country, and the National Shooting Sports Foundation is warning Gov. Wes Moore about the consequences of signing a gun ban bill into law. SB 334 and HB 557 would prohibit the manufacture, sale, and transfer of semiautomatic pistols the state defines as “machine gun convertible pistols.” The bill would put an end to the sale of virtually all Glocks and other striker-fired semi-automatic pistols in the state, because they can be illegally modified to fire…
This article was originally published by Micahel Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog under the title: The U.S. Navy Just Blew A Giant Hole In An Iranian Cargo Ship As The Crisis In The Strait Of Hormuz Escalates To An Entirely New Level Apparently the Trump administration was not kidding when it warned that no Iranian ships would be allowed through the blockade. Just a little while ago, Donald Trump announced that the U.S. Navy had blown an enormous hole in the side of an Iranian cargo vessel that had willingly chosen to ignore a warning to turn around. Just…
The city of Los Angeles is so deep into the anti-gun state of California that the nearest border to the city is Mexico. They have embraced gun control laws and constantly demand more. Despite all of that, not only does it seem that garden-variety gun control doesn’t work, but an arrest at LAX kind of shows us that the rules around international arms sales don’t seem to be doing all that much, either. We all know that in California, they raise a stink if you want to print firearms components on the 3D printer you…
