Kindred Motorworks of Vallejo, Calif., is reimagining the cult classic Volkswagen Bus (aka Type 2 Transporter or “T2”) of the 1960s and ’70s. It fully transforms them into the desirable 23-window version and adds electric power, giving owners miles of smiles with more usable power and torque as well as modern amenities. There’s a catch, however: a hefty $249,000 price tag — that’s more than the cost of a house in some parts of the country. Are they worth it? “We modernize and work with vehicles people just adore,” Greg Clark, Kindred Motorworks’ Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), said. “They’re iconic.…
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…
New York Times investigative reporter Mike McIntire has a new book to sell, and he is going all out in pitching it to lefties. McIntire recently compared U.S. “gun culture” (as if there’s a monoculture of gun owners among the 100 million Americans who possess firearms) to the “late-stage Roman Empire” in its decadence because of the rise of high-end shooting ranges and gun clubs. Now McIntire’s out with a new column in the friendly pages of the New York Times magazine claiming that the “right to kill” is expanding; a column adapted from his new book “Ricochet: Guns,…
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…
United States President Donald Trump has vowed to increase strikes on civilian infrastructure in Iran. Unless Tehran gives up and bows to US demands, Trump will initiate a ground campaign, taking the war to a whole new level. In an interview with Fox News on Tuesday, Trump commented that he would consider a ground operation “if I thought it was appropriate.” He said that while he increased the bombing campaign against Iran, other allied forces (he didn’t say which ones) could take over key strategic sites like Kharg Island. This would happen without the involvement of US troops, according to Trump.…
The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting a search and rescue mission after a boat capsized in San Francisco, leaving one person dead and another three missing. The capsizing incident was initially reported at around 4 p.m. local time on Tuesday. Emergency services rescued 13 people to shore and took three others to a local hospital, where their conditions stabilized.

A dog on board also died. U.S. Coast Guard Station New York response boats…
The U.S. Coast Guard’s official history began Aug. 4, 1790, when the first Congress authorized the construction of 10 vessels to enforce federal tariff and trade laws and to prevent smuggling. Known variously through the 19th and early 20th centuries as the Revenue Marine and the Revenue Cutter Service, the Coast Guard expanded in size and responsibilities as the nation grew. The service received its present name in 1915 under an act of Congress that merged the Revenue Cutter Service with the Life-Saving Service, thereby providing the nation with a single maritime service dedicated to saving life at sea and…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. The battle for Hormuz has ramped up after the United States has undertaken three consecutive nights of major bombing raids against Iranian targets. All the while, President Trump is said to be “very serious” about his plan to impose a 20% toll on cargo transiting through the Strait of Hormuz, a Semafor report says, citing a White House official who says the president has desired such a plan for months. Both warring sides are insisting that it is their side alone that will be the ‘guardian’ over the strait. AFP/Getty Images Iran’s foreign…
If you’re predisposed to support gun control, losing someone you care about will most definitely tip you over the edge. If you’re already anti-gun, nothing is going to solidify the position more for you than something like that. Not everyone who loses someone is anti-gun, of course—Ryan Petty and I are but two examples—but it does seem to make those who are anti-gun a lot louder. Enter Los Angeles, because of course.An assemblyman in the city is understandably upset after a former staffer was killed at a block party in Compton over the July 4th…
The Marine Corps considers physical fitness an indispensable aspect of leadership. Fitness is essential to the day-to-day effectiveness and combat readiness of the service. Marines who are not physically fit can be a detriment to the readiness and combat efficiency of their units. Therefore, the habits of self-discipline required to gain and maintain a high level of physical fitness are inherent to the Marine Corps way of life and must be a part of the character of every Marine. Accordingly, every Marine will engage in an effective physical conditioning program on a continuing and progressive basis. Marines will perform “dead-hang”…

Jay Clayton is set to appear before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday for a hearing to decide whether he will become the next Director of National Intelligence (DNI). Committee Chair Tom Cotton, an Arkansas Republican, officially scheduled the hearing for Clayton—the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York who chaired the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) during President Donald Trump’s first administration. Clayton first received Trump’s nomination to lead the nation’s 18 intelligence agencies in June, but a hearing was abruptly canceled when the president publicly said he wanted Congress to first act on the Foreign Intelligence…

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The U.S. military reimposed a naval blockade on Iran and intensified its airstrike campaign early Wednesday, hitting an Iranian army barracks and killing at least seven troops while wounding 260 people across the country, Iranian officials said. Days of retaliatory strikes across the Middle East by Iran and the U.S., and both nations’ attempts to assert control over the Strait of Hormuz, threaten to push the region back to all-out war. More than 30 people have been killed over “recent days,” Iranian government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani said, without elaborating. Seven of the dead came…
