While they don’t get much attention these days, there are a few different .32-caliber cartridges out there that remain far from useless.A hundred years before anyone thought about a .32 H&R Magnum, Winchester introduced the .32-20 WCF cartridge for their Model 73 lever-action rifle. The year was 1882, the same year Robert Ford shot Jesse James. The .32-20 soon became very popular in a variety of revolvers, especially Colt’s Peacemaker. Elmer Keith even developed an early relationship with the .32-20, shooting cottontails with his granddad and later carrying a 7½ inch Colt in .32-20 while working with a survey crew.Other…

This article was originally published by Cassie B. at Natural News. Iran’s parliament voted overwhelmingly to suspend cooperation with the IAEA, banning inspections until security guarantees are provided. Lawmakers accused the IAEA of failing to condemn recent Israeli and U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. The bill mandates halting voluntary IAEA cooperation and signals plans to accelerate Iran’s nuclear program. The move follows a fragile ceasefire after a 12-day conflict, with Iran claiming the IAEA is biased and complicit in attacks. Suspending IAEA access risks global uncertainty over Iran’s nuclear progress and could trigger further military escalation. Iran’s parliament has…

The Evoke is a new entry-level rifle from Christensen Arms, and it’s loaded with the features many modern hunters want.I hit the range to test out the entry-level yet feature-heavy Christensen Arms Evoke Hunter.In 1979, I purchased my first centerfire rifle. (My dad actually bought the rifle because I was not old enough, but I paid for it with money I earned from a paper route.) It was a brand-new Remington Model 700 ADL, and it cost $223. Based on inflation, today that rifle would cost about $981. That rifle shot well but it was plain-Jane with a walnut stock…
The Pentagon is requesting $848.3 billion for its fiscal year 2026 budget, a cut to core military spending when accounting for inflation. But while releasing many of the military’s detailed budget materials Thursday, senior military and defense officials argued that their request should factor in a separate party-line spending bill now under debate in Congress. This one-time bill includes $113 billion in mandatory military spending and would bring the Pentagon’s total to $961 billion — close to the trillion-dollar defense budget President Donald Trump has pledged.Such supplemental defense bills are normally not counted toward the Pentagon’s base budget, the same…
With reports of wars, attacks, and rhetoric surrounding military conflicts, the bird flu has not been on the front pages of the news lately. Could the bird flu threat and fear-mongering be diminishing? People definitely seem more concerned about the problems with a potential ignition of World War 3 right now, and some of the media have admitted that safety precautions are falling to the wayside. Dairy cattle no longer need to be tested for bird flu in order to be entered into county fairs in Iowa. At the same time, other media outlets are trying to keep bird flu…

Donald Trump has declared media outlet Voice of America a “left-wing disaster” and wants republicans to “kill” it off. His goal is to dismantle the state-funded news outlet, Voice of America (VOA), which was launched in 1942. The original goal of VOA was to combat Nazi propaganda with fully Americanized propaganda. VOA pushed “pro-American” propaganda during the Cold War, too, and with Trump’s “America first” and “make America great again” stance, one would think he’d be in full support. However, Trump claimed that VOA has veered toward partisanship in recent decades and the ruler has vowed to shut it down…
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Thursday his country had delivered a “slap to America’s face” with its strike on a U.S. airbase in Qatar, and warned against any further attacks in his first public comments since a ceasefire was declared with Israel after 12 days of war.Khamenei spoke in a recorded video broadcast on Iranian state television, his first appearance since June 19. The 86-year-old, a skilled orator known for his forceful addresses to the country’s more than 90 million people, appeared and sounded more tired than he had just a week ago,…
