Summary: The Hegseth/Caine presser, as expected, declared ‘victory’ in Iran while Gen. Caine emphasized the ceasefire is a “pause,” but US forces remain “ready to resume combat.“ Hegseth says, “The military will be hanging around in Iran, won’t go anywhere, and will make sure Iran complies. Caine hails that the US has destroyed Iran’s defense-industrial base, including over 80% of missile facilities gone, and its navy lies at…

The standard assumption about food production is that you need land. A backyard, a farm, a patch of actual ground that belongs to you. For most of human history that was largely true. It is not anymore. Preppers who live in apartments, condos, rental properties, or urban environments often write off food production as something that applies to other people. People with land. This is a significant mistake, because food production capability, even at a small scale, is one of the most valuable things you can build before a serious disruption hits. Stored food runs out. A working production system…
You hear a quiet hum in the sky. And before you realize it, a drone has already surveyed your property, probably even recorded you speaking to your neighbor. Who was flying it? Why were they above your house, and what will they do with your data? By the time you question if this is intrusive, it’s already too late. Drones used to be military hardware or expensive toys for professional filmmakers. Not anymore. Now they’re buzzing over farms, circling construction sites, and yes, flying through your neighborhood. Technology has exploded, and most of us haven’t stopped to think about what…
Green Berets recently tested their ability to operate without being detected by drones or enemy personnel in a battlefield exercise that required adapting to today’s advanced surveillance. Over the course of a week-plus in February, personnel with 2nd Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne), assigned to U.S. Special Operations Command Europe, conducted Exercise Deep Strike at the Joint Multinational Readiness Center in Hohenfels, Germany.The exercise tested operator teams of eight or more personnel in areas of infiltration, drone operations and survival amid harsh winter conditions, according to a service release published Wednesday. Tasked with traversing over 90 miles of simulated…
A former Army employee with a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information clearance was arrested and charged with leaking classified national defense information to a journalist, the U.S. Department of Justice announced Wednesday in a statement. A federal grand jury today charged Courtney Williams, 40, of Wagram, North Carolina, on a charge of willful transmission of national defense information, a violation of the Espionage Act. She was arrested on Tuesday and the FBI Charlotte Field Office is investigating the case. From 2010 to 2016, Williams worked as an operational support specialist assigned to a Special Military Unit at Fort Bragg, North Carolina,…
Colorado Senate Bill 26-043 would require background checks, dealer transfers, and five-year recordkeeping for the sale of a simple metal tube — a move critics say is a textbook step toward de facto disarmament. Colorado Democrats are pushing legislation that would regulate firearm barrels — the metal tube the bullet travels through — as if they were complete firearms. Under Senate Bill 26-043, selling or transferring a barrel to a fellow gun owner without routing it through a federally licensed dealer would be a crime, carrying up to 30 days in jail and a $500 fine on the first offense.…
What Is Going On? Drama in the firearms industry is not unheard of, but it is fairly rare. Given the industry’s relatively smaller size, there just usually aren’t a lot of eyebrow-raising events that happen. However, that has changed recently with interactions between Ruger and Beretta. These two stalwart bastions of gun design and manufacture have not exactly come to blows, but there are developments raising some eyebrows. Let’s take a quick look at the situation. According to outdoorlifecom, in September of 2025, Beretta – the oldest gun manufacturer in the world, since 1526 – acquired 7.7% of Sturm, Ruger…
Nearly six weeks of war in Iran have ended, for now, with President Donald Trump claiming victory, but the U.S.-Iran ceasefire locks in a harsh reality: an entrenched, radical government with control over the Strait of Hormuz and a powerful lever over global energy markets and Gulf rivals, analysts say.The shockwaves have rippled outward, contributing to global economic strains and bringing conflict to Gulf neighbors whose economies depend on stability.“This war will be remembered as Trump’s grave strategic miscalculation. One whose consequences reshaped the region in unintended ways,” Middle East scholar Fawaz Gerges told Reuters.Before the war, the Strait, a…
This article was originally published by Willow Tohi at Natural News. Ukrainian intelligence alleges Russia provided Iran with a list of 55 critical Israeli energy targets for potential strikes. The targets are categorized by strategic importance, with power plants like Orot Rabin deemed most critical. Russia reportedly assessed Israel’s isolated “energy island” grid as uniquely vulnerable to cascading collapse. Ukraine frames the intelligence sharing as part of a deepening Russia-Iran alliance aimed at diverting global attention from Ukraine. Russia has dismissed the allegations as a “fabrication” by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. In a revelation that underscores the expanding ripple effects…
Images by the author I am no stranger to Griffin Armament. I recently reviewed one of their scopes, an LPVO in 1-8×24. That scope is well-built and sits atop one of my prized rifles. The company makes many products… as an example, they sent me a set of AR iron sights and two mounts for a yet-to-ship prism sight. More on those will follow after that sight comes in. Now that the $200 tax on suppressors is but a tortured dream, every company seems to be selling cans… some are better than others. Griffin Armament is a major player in…
