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…

For years, the only Glocks on California’s roster of handguns allowed to be sold in the state were older models that were grandfathered in. Those models, though, have all been designated by the state’s Department of Justice as “machinegun-convertible pistols,” and as such dealers generally have not been able to sell, transfer, or deliver them since the state’s ban on striker-fired pistols took effect on July 1. This week, though, CalDOJ approved the Glock 43X CA, a California-compliant semi-automatic 9mm pistol that has not been deemed a “machinegun-convertible pistol.” Shortly thereafter, Attorney General Rob Bonta…
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump won’t say whether he thinks Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should be reelected when voters head to the polls later this month. The president, who sat down with Time magazine for a 75-minute interview published Thursday, sidestepped multiple questions about Netanyahu’s reelection bid. Israelis are set to vote Oct. 27, in the first national elections since the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel. The absence of an endorsement is a setback for the Likud party politician, who has billed his tight ties to Trump as a selling point for keeping him in power. “I…
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…
Ever wish you could talk to a deceased loved one again, hear the essence of their voice, listen to their stories, and imagine their lives from before you knew them? U.S. Army veteran Wilson Feliz created the ‘Chapter3Five’ app to bring the dead back to life. “I thought to myself, so many veterans and so many people grieve and are lonely. A lot of the suicide rates among veterans come from the fact that they feel like they’re alone, and they have nobody to talk to,” Feliz, the app’s founder, said in an interview with Military.com. “So what I did…

When Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the Bruen decision, he explicitly said that some places truly were sensitive enough to warrant preventing guns from being taken inside. Courthouses were one of the exceptions he named, and while I disagree about the usefulness of such bans, the ruling is the ruling. Of course, there are exceptions as to who can be armed in these places, but the point is that they are what they are.And in places like Minnesota, they’re really starting to love their gun control, which makes this a little less than thrilling.Firearms and other…
There is a big difference between reading a survival blog and actually living through a disaster. You may have all the highest-rated gear, or shelves filled with top freeze-dried meals, but you have no way of knowing what really works. If a severe storm hits, or a local power grid collapse occurs, you don’t want to be opening boxes of unused gear in the dark. The middle of a disaster is a bad time to discover that your main backup power source needs to be charged, or your manual can opener is missing from your emergency bin. The best way…
The estimates on defensive gun uses vary depending on who is doing the estimating. Yet even the low-ball figures from anti-gun researchers tend to put the number in the six-digit range per year, meaning guns protect innocent life more often than they’re used to take them. That’s true even if you leave the suicide numbers in the “gun death” figures. But the truth is that there are a lot more than 100,000 or so defensive gun uses.That’s not me talking, either. That’s the latest survey talking, and anti-gunners are going to be pissed.William English is…
WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge had no authority to overturn former U.S. Army soldier Bowe Bergdahl’s military conviction for deserting his post in Afghanistan before Taliban-allied forces abducted him and held him captive for nearly five years, an appeals court has ruled. A three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on Tuesday ordered the dismissal of Bergdahl’s claims in district court. The panel said District Judge Reggie Walton in Washington lacked the jurisdiction to vacate Bergdahl’s court-martial conviction and sentence in 2023. Bergdahl had sued in 2021, arguing that the punishment violated…
The North Carolina Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from a man who killed a military veteran in a Greensboro hotel room in 2014 and is currently serving life in prison for his convictions. The announcement was made Tuesday by North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson and the North Carolina Department of Justice, as part of the upholding of criminal convictions and sentences in 13 Court of Appeals opinions released Aug. 19. Another 11 North Carolina Supreme Court opinions were released Aug. 14. A Guilford County judge convicted Garry Joseph Gupton of first-degree murder and first-degree arson in 2017. At…
Rights are a lot more interconnected than people think, and nowhere is that more true than with the Second Amendment. For example, we count on the First Amendment to make sure we can advocate in defense of it. We need the Fourth Amendment to prevent the state from just walking into our homes and taking our guns simply because they feel like it. Due process is how we’ve protected our gun rights in court. But just as many police officers argue that certain laws restoring gun rights make it harder for them to do their…
CAIRO (AP) — A U.S. missile hit a home in southern Iran where dozens were gathered to celebrate the wedding of a fisherman’s daughter, according to a rights group and Iranian media. Iranian state media said four people — two women and two children — were killed and more than 60 were wounded. The rights group said one of the children, a teenager, was killed by another strike on a nearby communications tower. Heavy explosions shook the coastal town of Kuhestak on the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, and security footage carried by Iran’s semiofficial Fars news agency showed fireballs…
Hung Cao said President Donald Trump nominating him as the long-term Navy secretary is the “honor of a lifetime.” Trump nominated Cao, who currently serves as the acting Navy secretary, in a social media post on Tuesday night, after he fired his predecessor, John Phelan, a big Trump donor who was terminated in April for reasons including slowed shipbuilding schedules. “We need Patriots like Hung leading our Navy and Marine Corps, and I can think of no one better than him to make sure our Great Navy and Marine Corps remain the FIERCEST and BEST Force the World has ever…
The copper bull market has become much bigger than copper. This is rapidly becoming a do-or-die industrial challenge for the Western world. America wants AI supremacy. It wants gigantic data centers, new electrical grids, semiconductor fabs, autonomous factories, robots, drones, missiles, nuclear plants and a manufacturing renaissance. There is one problem: Almost everything America wants to build requires copper. And Washington has finally recognized copper as a national-security issue. · President Trump imposed Section 232 tariffs on copper products after determining that excessive import dependence threatened U.S. national security. In 2026, Washington strengthened the regime further: most covered copper products now…
Granite City, Illinois, looks to be just a little across the border from Saint Louis, Missouri. That’s a rough town, and while I can’t say that Granite City is as bad, I can say it has had its moments. For example, recently officers were forced to shoot and kill a suspect after he refused to comply with orders to drop his weapons — a handgun and a replica rifle of some sort.But while that is unpleasant, it’s not what grabbed my attention.No, that was the deceased’s history.According to court documents, Cerentano had a criminal history…
