One of the best things recently fired U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi did during her tenure to help bolster the right of lawful Americans to keep and bear arms was set up a Second Amendment Section within the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Section. And according to a recent Washington Times report, section leaders there are gearing up to challenge anti-gun state laws throughout the nation. The Times report chronicled an appearance by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon on the “Dana Loesch Show,” where she said her organization was actively hiring Second Amendment attorneys to pursue challenges to unconstitutional laws…

Iran showed no sign of accepting Donald Trump’s ultimatum to open the Strait of Hormuz by the end of Tuesday, while the U.S. president threatened that “a whole civilization will die tonight” unless Tehran reached a last-minute deal.Trump has given Iran until 8 p.m. in Washington — 3:30 a.m. in Tehran — to end its blockade of Gulf oil, or he will destroy every bridge and power plant in Iran. Iran says it would retaliate against U.S. allies in the Gulf, whose desert cities would be uninhabitable without power or water.As the clock ticked down on Trump’s deadline, strikes on…
U.S. strikes on Iran’s Kharg Island do not represent a change in American strategy, Vice President JD Vance said on Tuesday, as a U.S. official separately told Reuters the additional strikes on military targets did not impact oil infrastructure.The official, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, described at least some of the strikes as targeting sites that had been previously struck before and said the attack occurred in the early morning hours of Tuesday.Vance, speaking separately in Budapest, said the strikes were not a change in U.S. strategy, with the Trump administration confident that it can get a…
If you think the cost of putting fuel in your car is high now, just wait. It isn’t over yet. Seventy-five energy assets in the Gulf have been damaged in attacks during the United States-Iran war. International Energy Agency (IEA) Executive Director Fatih Birol was interviewed by the French newspaper Le Figaro on Tuesday and warned that the Gulf energy shock “is more severe than those of 1973, 1979, and 2022 combined.” Birol insisted that this was a bigger deal because it’s affecting oil, gas, food, fertilizers, petrochemicals, helium, and global trade all at once. Simulation: Extended Strait of Hormuz Closure Could…

The Cherokee Nation sustained itself for thousands of years without grocery stores, refrigeration, or supply chains. They fed large communities through harsh winters, droughts, and lean seasons using nothing but the land, accumulated knowledge, and disciplined food systems. That is exactly the kind of resilience every serious prepper should be studying. Cherokee food traditions are not just history. They are a working blueprint for long-term food security built on farming, foraging, hunting, fishing, and food preservation techniques that require no electricity and no modern infrastructure. This guide breaks down what the Cherokee ate, how they grew and sourced it, how…
NEW TAIPEI CITY, Taiwan — The Chinese navy is enhancing its guided-missile frigate, the Qinzhou, with an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm designed to illuminate blind spots during air defense engagements, an official military website said.The website cited a state-run media report and experts calling the vessel a “major leap in integrated combat capability” that “positions the vessel among the most advanced frigates in service today”.A slew of announcements such as that one from March 30 shows AI expanding across a military that aims to “intelligentize” as it prepares for potential conflicts in the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait. But…
The Wilson Combat Lo-Profile base pads simply replace the existing plastics ones on your Wilson or McCormick magazines.Make your compact 1911 reloads a breeze with Wilson Combat’s Lo-Profile basepads.OK, I’ll admit this is a bit niche, but man … it’s cool.So, there you are carrying an Officer’s Model or other short-framed compact 1911. Using a full-sized magazine as a reload would be nice, but you can’t. If you slam that mag home with the slide locked back (and when else will you need a really fast reload?), the mag will ride up over the mag button and wedge against the…
Three summers ago, a heat dome parked itself over my county for eleven days straight. Temperatures hit 104°F by noon and barely dropped below 85 at night. On day three, the grid buckled. No AC and no fans. Just dead, heavy air sitting inside the house like a wool blanket soaked in hot water. My wife looked at me. I looked at her. And I realized that for all the beans and rice stacked in the basement, for all the solar panels on the roof and the water barrels in the garage, I had done almost nothing to prepare for…
Do You Still Need Hearing Protection with a Suppressor? Of course, you do. At least, you do in most cases, with very few exceptions. When you first clamp a suppressor on your rifle and touch off a round, the difference can feel pretty drastic, and it can be easy to fool yourself into thinking that you’re doing zero damage to your hearing once a suppressor goes on. The sharp crack drops to a manageable thump, and you wonder if ear pro is truly optional. The honest answer from my own experience (and mistakes) is that while a lot of suppressors…
