U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping left their Washington meetings last week with a list of eight “deliverables and understandings.” The list covers trade, artificial intelligence and Iran, along with diplomatic and symbolic commitments. It is not eight separately signed treaties or completed deals. A proposed military crisis agreement appears separately, and neither government has announced that it is in operation.

Let’s start off by noting that yes, warning shots are stupid. I don’t feel like getting into why, generally speaking, in this piece, because it’s not about that. It’s about a California man facing charges for firing warning shots. It started with the nightmare scenario for many people: the proverbial bump in the night. Someone was inside of the home in the dark of night who shouldn’t have been there.So a man who works as a security guard decided he needed to do something, but he apparently didn’t want to hurt anyone.A security guard was…
An Air Force officer who was arrested after calling for President Donald Trump’s impeachment has been recommended to stand trial by general court-martial—the military’s most serious level of trial—on most of the charges against him, according to his attorney. Maj. Jason Watson was arrested in uniform on the steps of the U.S. Capitol in July as he called for Trump to be impeached, arguing that the president had violated the Constitution and that Trump and Vice President JD Vance should be removed from office. Watson has said he acted not out of partisanship but to uphold his oath to defend…
The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division has already successfully gone after the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department over its unreasonable delays in processing concealed carry applications and recently targeted San Jose, California over its excessive fees for concealed carry permits, but now the division is seeking to strike down another local law on the books in San Jose. The Justice Department filed its first complaint against the city’s $1591 application fee a couple of weeks ago, but on Tuesday the agency filed an amended complaint this week that challenges San Jose’s requirement that concealed carry applicants undergo…
The U.S. Marine Corps is following the Department of Defense (DOD) and Air Force, issuing new deadlines for service members to revise their religious affiliation as part of a major shift in the U.S. Armed Forces that began months ago. On Tuesday, the Marine Corps published its own official Marine Corps Administrative Message (MARADMINS) implementing the policy change that will affect personnel. This MARADMIN “announces implementation of the revised Department of War Religious Affiliation Codes (RAC) and directs Marines to review and update their religious affiliation information.” Military.com was the first to report how DOD dramatically reduced its official number…
Post from MilitaryByOwner Each time we make a move with the military, we have one huge decision to make: Do we live off base, or do we live on base? In my experience, there are 7 things to consider before living in military housing—both pros and cons. 1) You may give up some privacy. We can be a nosy community. Combine that with living a few feet from each other, and you soon have a community that knows everything about you, right down to your daily routine. But don’t be fooled; you’ll soon know just as much about your neighbors,…
Western veterans, including U.S. veterans, are reportedly training Russians to fight in Ukraine. A leaked intelligence memo compiled for Five Eyes intelligence agencies found with “strong confidence” that Russia has recruited the veterans to train their citizens as well as “active duty military” via a European combat camp, as initially reported by The Telegraph earlier this month. The memo said the combat camp in northern Bulgaria, run by military training company Alfa-Metal, employs instructors from U.S. police forces and U.S. Navy SEALs, as well as instructors from other backgrounds—including the SAS and the Australian Commando Regiment. Alfa-Metal denied these allegations.…

The traditional military career path was once relatively straightforward: Serve, separate or retire, get an education if necessary, and find another employer. Curtez Riggs thinks that model is being disrupted. U.S. advertising spending on creators is projected to reach $44 billion in 2026, according to the Interactive Advertising Bureau, as companies increasingly treat creators as a major marketing channel rather than a social-media experiment. For service members, veterans and military spouses, that growing economy presents something else: another potential way to make a living. Riggs, a retired Army first sergeant and founder of the Military Influencer Conference, has watched that…

Yes, gun control is unconstitutional.However, if we’re going to have it, it needs to focus on criminals, not the law-abiding folks like you and me. The days of trying to jam up every gun dealer in America are over, at least for now, and violence is down across the board, all in spite of the post-Bruen fearmongering. However, there’s still plenty of work to be done. And that should be directed at criminals, which is precisely what the ATF just did in Louisville.Following an approximately two-month-long, ATF-led operation involving multiple state and federal agencies, dozens…

Choosing a concealed carry gun is an incredibly personal decision, and one that too many people make based on someone else’s preferences. Maybe the guy behind the gun counter told you what you needed. Maybe your husband handed you the smallest pistol he could find because he assumed smaller would be easier for you. Maybe you bought whatever was getting the most attention online. Then you got it home and discovered something important: you don’t like carrying it. The best concealed carry gun isn’t necessarily the smallest, most expensive, most popular, or highest-capacity handgun on…
Our own Kerry Slone talks a lot about gun ownership for women on social media. She’s a prime example of how the Second Amendment benefits women, even as anti-gunners try to denigrate that need at every turn to make it easier to push women into embracing gun control. They need women disarmed and afraid. And fear is a terrible thing to wish on almost anyone.But a story out of Vancouver, WA, illustrates a lot of why gun rights should matter to women.A female homeowner in Vancouver, Washington, noticed the security alarm about 9 p.m. recently.…
CAIRO (AP) — Saudi Arabia accused Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels of trying to attack Islam’s holiest city, as the region responded with condemnation Wednesday but no sign of military support. The kingdom, a key U.S. ally, declared Mecca a “red line” as it slid deeper into the new front of the Iran war. With the world’s biggest oil exporter under fire from the rebels backed by the Saudis’ regional adversary, the kingdom needs a safe outlet for its crude as well as military assistance. There’s no clear path to either. A crucial Saudi pipeline has been shut down, reportedly for…
Joe Labarbera is the chair of the Sussex County, New Jersey Republican Party. He’s also a concealed carry licensee in the Garden State, and he says he was acting in self-defense when he drew his gun on a fellow motorist last weekend. Authorities have charged Labarbera with aggravated assault, unlawful weapon possession, and endangering a child, but he maintains he was only trying to protect himself after stopping to help someone on the side of the road. Joseph Labarbera’s attorney, Patrick P. Toscano, Jr., said his client did not instigate the confrontation and was trying to…
The Trump administration is reportedly planning to sell Israel an approximate $2.8 billion munitions package including tens of thousands of 2,000-pound bombs. The package includes 20,000 MK 84 and 20,000 BLU-117 bomb bodies, according to an unnamed official who told Reuters on the condition of anonymity due to the sale not yet being made public. The Washington Post first reported the transaction. It has been informally communicated to the congressional committees that weigh in on large arms sales, an early step in the process rather than a formal approval. Both the MK 84 and the BLU-117 are versions of the…
