A ready-to-eat meal (MRE) is designed to give troops the calories and nutrients they need when a hot meal isn’t available. Each MRE contains about 1,250 calories, enough to provide roughly one-third of a service member’s recommended daily energy and nutritional needs in the field. But that calculation assumes the service member eats everything inside. In the field, some troops shed components to lighten their load. Others have little time to stop, heat an entrée or finish everything they carry. In the field, some troops shed components to lighten their load. Others have little time to stop, heat an entrée…

One of the many issues with gun-free zones is that they disarm people not just on a piece of property, but on the entire path from where they leave their gun to the door itself. Even if a school, for example, could guarantee safety inside the building and anywhere on the property, which they can’t, there’s literally no way they can guarantee it for people to and from the school. So it’s a terrible shame that a Florida principal was arrested for having a gun in his privately owned vehicle recently.The school board, however, seems…
Two former members of the U.S. Air Force have been sentenced to a combined 189 months in federal jail after they participated in a $2.4 million cyber fraud scheme. Chijioke Timothy Odimegwu, 25, and Harafat Mogaji, 26, both Airmen at the time of their offenses, were sentenced Sept. 25 to a combined 189 months in federal prison. They were legally found to have diverted more than $2.4 million via wire transfers from two victims into bank accounts controlled by their conspirators, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of Iowa. “When cyber intrusion schemes target businesses…
One thing that has been concerning lately is the way a lot of people have been open to political violence, particularly from the Left. They’ve engaged in plenty of it, over the last handful of years, and there was little evidence that they intended the second Trump administration to be any different. Well, if that were the case, they might have started off strong, but now things have declined.Namely, support for it has gone down according to a recent study.Despite an increasingly volatile and fraught political climate in the United States, researchers have found a…
LONDON (AP) — Police on Thursday arrested a dual U.K.-Iranian national on suspicion of plotting a terror attack following a security incident at a U.S.-run military air base in England that British authorities have linked to Tehran. The 27-year-old man was arrested in London on Thursday, and police have searched two properties in the U.K. capital, Counter Terrorism Policing said in a statement. A 26-year-old British national was interviewed by police “under caution,” which means the interview was recorded and can be used in future prosecutions. On Sunday, five men, all British nationals in their 20s and from London, were…
Maryland’s juvenile justice system is already plagued with many of the same problems that exist in other states, including a lack of increased supervision and incarceration for repeat offenders. Now juvenile justice is taking another step backward in the state, with new “reforms” going into effect that could make it much harder to hold young offenders accountable for their crimes. The Youth Charging Reform Act, signed into law by Gov. Wes Moore back in May, takes effect today, and that means (among other things) that 16- and 17-year-olds charged with first degree assault and other…
I owe Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway an apology. I blasted her for not defending the state’s Stand Your Ground laws recently, and really felt that was a big betrayal of the Second Amendment community. This was not a universally held opinion, by any means, but I call them like I see them, and while I still would have preferred to see a vigorous defense of the law, there might be reasons I wasn’t privy to. Why am I feeling so magnanimous?Because she’s doing something based enough that I don’t care what she failed to…
The U.S. Armed Forces consist of six branches: the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard. The Army handles land-based operations, the Navy conducts naval missions, the Marine Corps specializes in amphibious warfare, the Air Force manages air and space operations, the Space Force protects U.S. interests in space, and the Coast Guard is responsible for maritime security and law enforcement. Together, they safeguard the nation’s interests, with each branch having distinct roles and areas of expertise. There are three general categories of military people: active duty (full-time soldiers and sailors), reserve & guard forces (usually…
Seattle’s interim police chief Andre Sayles has been ruthlessly mocked this week for referring to “trigger pullers” when discussing plans to proactively attack violent crime in the city. As the New York Post reports, a lot of folks have accused Sayles of using woke terminology instead of referring to “shooters.” “Are they doing anything about the shootings themselves or just making sure they don’t overstep boundaries with criminals?” one X user wondered.“You still got shot either way, the word choice didn’t stop it,” another commenter pointed out.One poster chimed in with some additional mock suggestions…
If you’re a military spouse with little or no credit history, the fastest way to start building credit is usually to get added as an authorized user on your service member’s credit card. It doesn’t require an application, hard credit inquiry, or income verification. Once the card issuer starts reporting the account, that card’s payment history, credit limit, and account age appear on your credit report and start working in your favor. Key Takeaways Get added as an authorized user to rapidly build credit without a hard inquiry or application. Confirm issuers report authorized users and add your SSN so…
If you’re shopping for a home and you’re not finding anything on the market that fits your needs, you might consider building your own house. While a VA loan can be used to finance the construction of a brand new home, it can be difficult to find a lender that will issue one.

Construction Basics When you decide to build a house, you’ll need a construction loan. And…
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon has fired a rhetorical shot across the bow of San Jose’s City Hall, warning officials that a lawsuit is coming if the city doesn’t take immediate steps to bring down the outrageously high fees the city charges residents applying for a concealed carry license. Constitutional rights aren’t for sale. Charging $1,600 to carry a firearm outside the home is unconscionable and unconstitutional. The @CivilRights Division is working hard to protect San Jose’s residents from Second Amendment violations! pic.twitter.com/fo6PWRZGcY— AAGHarmeetDhillon (@AAGDhillon) September 9, 2026In her letter to Mayor Matt Mahan, SJPD…

We’ve been waiting for years for something like Viramontes to come before the Supreme Court. While a few years ago, the outcome might have been more in doubt, the Supreme Court of today looks little like the one that decided Heller and McDonald, and that’s not a bad thing. While both of those cases are important and clearly benefited us, the Court was a less certain place for Second Amendment issues, and they were almost never heard. We went more than a decade before we got another gun case.Today, though, we’re finally getting what we…
A new letter written to the heads of the Senate and House Armed Services Committees calls for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to provide more thorough explanations for promotions and demotions. Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), a former U.S. Army helicopter pilot who lost both her legs in the Iraq War, sent the letter Thursday morning to SASC Chair Roger Wicker, a Republican, and Ranking Member Jack Reed; as well as HASC Chair Mike Rogers, a Republican, and Ranking Member Adam Smith. It urges the committee leaders to retain Sections 501 and 502 of the Fiscal Year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act…

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The two NASA astronauts who led the Artemis II moonshot earlier this year are stepping away from spaceflight. NASA announced Wednesday that Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman and pilot Victor Glover will no longer serve as active astronauts but will continue to support the moon exploration program as emeritus astronauts. Glover has taken a leadership job at his alma mater, California Polytechnic State University, while Wiseman’s future plans weren’t disclosed. They flew around the moon in April with two other astronauts, setting a new distance record for humanity. Artemis II’s Jeremy Hansen retired from the…
