I have concerns with artificial intelligence. I haven’t hidden them, either. I use it, mind you, because there are very real advantages to it. The problems I have with it aren’t so much about where it is now, but where it may go. Still, it’s a useful technology for a lot of things, and tends to be a better search engine than Google these days.In Australia, though, one pundit thinks that we should be careful with the rollout of AI, and to support his claim, he makes an anti-gun argument.American gun rights advocates are fond…
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has presented his campaign against the International Criminal Court (ICC) as a defense of American sovereignty and U.S. service members. President Donald Trump supplied a more immediate explanation during a July 31 Cabinet meeting: “He is trying to defend Bibi and various other people, but there are many people that shouldn’t be looked at that way, but there is no indication that I’m one of them at this moment.” Rubio returned to hypothetical arrests of American service members decades from now, seemingly an awkward pivot consider that Trump had just identified Netanyahu and others as…
Starting today, any Colorado resident who wants to purchase the most popular rifle in the country will have to fork over more money and wait for who knows how long before they get their local sheriff’s approval. In fact, some residents who’ve already started the process of buying an AR-15 will likely have to go through these extra steps and fork out extra money. Tomorrow SB25-003 – Colorado’s ban on semi automatic magazine fed gas powered firearms becomes official.Currently the Colorado Bureau of Investigations has over 2500 background checks in the queue to approve.So if these…
We know good and well that the Second Amendment says “shall not be infringed.” We all know what that means. Still, anti-gunners keep arguing that gun control is constitutional. They might bring up the militia clause, but they can’t illustrate how that overrides the last four words. They don’t even try, really. They simply proclaim it and we’re expected to accept it. Obviously, we don’t and won’t.But why do they seem to feel like they don’t have to? Why is it that they believe they can ignore the text of the Second Amendment?Howard Sachs, writing…
CAIRO (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump threatened more strikes on Iran as the United States presses for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Hours later on Saturday, Kuwait said it responded to a new round of drone attacks from Iran while a tanker was struck in the strategic waterway. Meanwhile, Israel heavily struck the Gaza Strip after the Palestinian militant group Hamas agreed to disarm. Here are the most important developments in the Middle East today: US threatens new strikes in the conflict with Iran Speaking to reporters Friday during a meeting with members of his Cabinet at…

A veteran who fills his prescriptions through the VA may have seen the headlines this week about Medicare drug premiums going up in 2027 and possibly felt worried. For most veterans, there’s no need to get anxious, but for some, there might be. Basically, it all comes down to where you get your medication. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced Tuesday that it will end a federal subsidy that has helped hold down prescription drug premiums for the past two years. Some believe this move could raise monthly costs for some Medicare beneficiaries starting in 2027, and a…

TJ spoke from a darkened room with the blinds closed. Even there, surrounded by houseplants she could barely see, the light still felt too bright. Years earlier, she had worked around aircraft, engines and flight-deck noise as a Navy “yellow shirt” stationed in Japan. She directed aircraft movement aboard the ship, moving between the hangar bay and flight deck while also finding time to run, lift weights and compete in shipboard races. TJ said her first severe headaches began after she suffered a concussion shortly after reporting to the ship. More concussions followed, and the headaches gradually became harder to…

You get a letter telling you that you are unfit to keep serving. It arrives with a deadline, too, sometimes less than a week, and it sets in motion a process that will decide whether you keep your career or not. Whether you get a severance check, a retirement, health care for your family, or nothing. Somewhere in that packet is a line about your right to consult a lawyer. In the Army, that line has led to the Office of Soldiers’ Counsel, a small unit of attorneys who exist for exactly this type of thing. A growing number of…

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.

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…
