A Navy sailor pleaded guilty Monday to killing Petty Officer 3rd Class Angelina Resendiz, accepting a plea agreement that calls for at least 40 years in military prison and closes one part of a case that has drawn scrutiny over how the Navy handled her disappearance. Seaman Jermiah Copeland pleaded guilty at Naval Station Norfolk to unpremeditated murder, aggravated assault by strangulation, indecent recording, making a false official statement and multiple obstruction of justice counts, according to local courtroom reporting and multiple reports. Copeland was found not guilty of premeditated murder, several sexual assault allegations, and domestic violence charges, according…
The media is reporting on the “good news” about the Ebola outbreak this week. The first piece of good news is that three new vaccine candidates are being “fast-tracked” to create one that will work well in a short amount of time. Authorities also said that they have downgraded both the confirmed number of cases and deaths in the region affected, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), as the second piece of “good news.” First, we heard there’s new funding of up to US$62 million to fast-track the development of vaccine candidates against the type of virus circulating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo…

U.S. President Donald Trump renewed his claims of momentum toward ending the conflict with Iran, after brokering a halt to hostilities between Israel and the Islamic Republic and easing tensions that had threatened to derail broader peace efforts. “We’re in the final throes of what will be a very, very good deal,” Trump told reporters in New York on Tuesday. “We could have at least an idea one or two days from now.” The U.S. president spoke on Monday hours after Iran and Israel agreed to halt strikes on each other following a flare-up that saw both countries launch waves…

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans will look to get nearly $70 billion for immigration enforcement over the finish line Tuesday, enough to fund a pair of Homeland Security agencies through the next three years and the rest of President Donald Trump’s time in office. Speaker Mike Johnson will need near perfect attendance and unity on his side to complete weeks of action on the bill. The legislation got sidetracked when Republicans sought to include $1 billion for enhanced security on the White House grounds, including for Trump’s new ballroom, and the Trump administration tried to create a nearly $1.8 billion…

The Henry .45-70 is an heirloom-grade lever action with brass-frame swagger, side-gate loading, and enough thump to make bear country feel a little more negotiable. It is cowboy nostalgia with modern teeth, and yes, wagon train is still not included. Editor’s Note: This review has recently been updated Why the Henry .45-70 Still Makes Lever Guns Feel Dangerous While I normally cover the tactical and CCW guns, I do have one other group I always snatch up if the opportunity presents itself. I guess you could call them 1866 tactical guns, and be correct. I’m talking about lever actions, of…
The Ruger Mini-14 Ranch is the old-school 5.56 NATO rifle that refused to disappear. After decades of love, hate, and accurate jokes, the newer Ranch Rifle showed up ready to rewrite some history. The Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Still Owns Its Weird, Useful Lane The Ruger Mini-14 was introduced in 1973 and quickly became one of the most popular semi-automatic centerfire rifles ever produced. Last count, some 3 million have been built. I would argue that the Ruger Mini-14 began our country’s fascination with the 5.56 NATO/.223 Remington caliber in semi-automatic rifles. In part because it is a handy, capable rifle,…
The Safariland Incog XS takes the proven Incog idea and strips it down into a faster, cleaner, easier-to-live-with IWB rig. After running it from concealment with a Glock 19 pattern setup, the big surprise was not just how comfortable it was, but how quickly it got out of the way. Safariland Incog XS First Look: Leaner, Faster, Less Belt Junk Safariland and Haley Strategic have been refining the Incog line for a few years now, and the new Incog XS is the latest result of that partnership. Billed as a more streamlined, minimalist evolution of the Incog X platform, the…
