Air Mobility Command’s space-available travel sign-up process has run on the same basic model for years: Fill out a form, email it to whichever passenger terminal you’re departing from, and hope someone on the other end enters it correctly before your window opens. As of March 26, 2026, that changed. AMC launched a new self-signup tool incorporating every AMC location worldwide, and it’s built on fundamentally different plumbing than what came before it. What Actually Changed The old system, still technically available, routes a traveler’s information through an email that gets sent to a specific passenger terminal, where staff then…
For years now, anti-gunners have been trying their best to push gun ownership into the fringes of society. More accurately, they tried to turn it into the dirty little secret that you might be free to take part in, but you shouldn’t talk to people about it. It’s kind of like being into freaky bedroom activities or liking the Twilight movies. You might do it, but no one can know, even if it’s legal. And, frankly, we’ve played into their hands on that. People are paranoid about even talking about owning guns out of fear…
The Department of Defense (DOD) has announced two framework agreements to expand the production capacity of missile-interceptor components. The agreements, with defense companies Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin, intend to triple the production of Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) components, and quadruple the production of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) components. The frameworks come as part of the Arsenal of Freedom initiative, a defense initiative to modernize military technology. “Building the Arsenal of Freedom requires robust, dynamic supply chains at every level of the industrial base,” said Michael P. Duffey, Under Secretary of War for Acquisition and Sustainment, in a…
The 2000s was a critical time for the gaming industry. The monstrously successful PlayStation 2 arrived in 2000, with Microsoft’s first Xbox system and Nintendo’s iconic GameCube launching in North America the following year. This set the stage for a console generation marked by a fascinating three-way competition, and of course, some brilliant games. In particular, RPG fans had an embarrassment of riches to enjoy during the 2000s. Then as now, though, it’s just impossible to play all the games we’d like to. Even if you’ve been an RPG enthusiast for decades, there are some great games from this era…
I’ve written a lot about the Department of Justice’s schizophrenia on NFA registration of things like suppressors and short-barreled long guns. The registration was, originally, nothing more than a list of who paid the NFA tax. It was there so law enforcement could check and see if the suppressor they found was lawfully owned or not. Now that there’s no tax stamp on such devices, the registry has outlived its purpose.Easy enough, right?The problem is, though, that the DOJ that is going after everyone else over unconstitutional gun control laws is defending this travesty. Mark…
Complexity is the enemy of affordability, and cars have an affordability problem. An automobile has always been a big investment, but now, more than ever, the problems come once the car leaves the dealer’s lot. While an out-of-warranty repair or a minor collision was once somewhat affordable to fix, even the simplest-seeming parts of a car can cost thousands of dollars. A new bumper, for example, is no longer something simple and relatively inexpensive to replace. Cars Have Become Rolling Computers Credit:Â Mercedes-Benz Cars becoming rolling computers isn’t a new complaint, but we’re not talking about a fairly basic ECU chip…
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 players on PlayStation consoles should be wary of a notorious hacker who is reportedly compromising accounts. Credit: Image via Activision, Treyarch Originally published by Game Rant The Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 multiplayer servers on PS5 and PS4 have been compromised by a hacker that has gone around several lobbies and manipulated player accounts. The reports came weeks after Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and its predecessor were shadow-dropped on the PlayStation Store across the globe. Although it was released on the PS3 in 2013, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 was unavailable…
Yosemite National Park is famous for iconic sights like Half Dome and El Capitan, but in recent years, it’s become almost equally famous for massive crowds. Images of swarms of people and long lines of cars have blown up on the internet, and the data backs it up. In 2026, the park is on track to receive more visitors than ever before. At the end of July, I became part of the problem, visiting the park during its peak summer tourist season. With a few key strategies, however, I managed to avoid most of the hordes of people and enjoy…
A lot of people see the rules the ATF proposes from time to time, recognize there’s a comment period, and then ignore it. Why bother? After all, the ATF is going to do what it’s going to do. The comment period is required by law, but there doesn’t seem to be any imperative to actually listen to those comments. If there were, there are a lot of anti-gun rules that would never have gone into effect if they had been.Right now, the ATF is considering a pile of new rules, and the comment period is…

On July 21, 1861, the road from Washington to Centreville, Va., was filled with civilians eager to see what many believed would be the war’s first and perhaps final major showdown. Confidence in a quick Union victory ran so high that spectators treated the march toward Bull Run less like the opening of a brutal campaign and more like a public outing. Men, women and children joined members of Congress on the hills overlooking the fighting. Some arrived with picnic baskets, carriages and opera glasses, expecting the Union Army to break the rebellion and clear a path to Richmond. William…

The Pentagon will begin screening active-duty service members 30 and older for testosterone deficiency every year, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Wednesday, framing the move as a readiness measure while leaving any resulting treatment up to the individual. The screening will be added to the periodic health assessment that troops already complete each year, Hegseth said in a video posted on social media. Service members younger than 30 will be able to request the test voluntarily. While the screening will be mandatory for eligible troops, any treatment that follows—including testosterone replacement therapy, or TRT—will not be. “I’m authorizing a new…
CARLISLE, Pa. (AP) — President Donald Trump addressed a defense summit at the U.S. Army War College on Wednesday, touting what he said was nearly $10 billion in promised investments in technology while the war in Iran has reduced the U.S. supply of Tomahawk cruise missiles and Patriot and THAAD interceptors. The gathering in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, was organized by Republican Sen. David McCormick. It also featured Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth; Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Army Secretary Dan Driscoll; CIA Director John Ratcliffe; and Mike Waltz, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. “We’re really doing…
There are some places where you know you shouldn’t go with a gun. There are signs up, and usually a lot of people with bigger guns than you who will shoot you if need be. It may be your right to bear arms, but it’s your life that’s forfeit if you push it. It’s safe to say that anything involving our national intelligence apparatus is going to be high on that list of places. I mean, I doubt the CIA would shrug at me walking around their campus in Langley with an AR slung over…
Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky was the lone Republican to vote Wednesday to cut off roughly $3.3 billion in U.S. aid to Israel. Massie, the outspoken conservative who recently lost his primary election due to President Donald Trump endorsing his opponent, introduced an amendment earlier this week to H.R. 8595, the National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2027, that would have dramatically altered the United States’ annual military assistance to a country that has traditionally been an ally but has faced stark criticism due to wars in Gaza and Iran. The final vote was 314-104,…
Pat Tillman was an All-American college football player who lived his dream in the National Football League. He gave it all up to serve in the United States military, leading to his death and a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) clinic being named in his honor more than two decades later. House lawmakers on Wednesday passed bipartisan legislation to rename the VA outpatient clinic in San Jose the Corporal Patrick D. Tillman VA Clinic. The legislation, sponsored by Rep. Jimmy Panetta (D-Calif.) and co-led by Rep. Ken Calvert (D-Calif.), was co-sponsored by every member of the California Congressional delegation. Companion…
