The United States defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, recently shared a video in which several pastors say women should no longer be allowed to vote. The high-level ruler made sure to repost the video shamelessly, in which a Christian nationalist said, “I would like to see this nation being a Christian nation.” Hegseth reposted the nearly seven-minute report with the caption: “All of Christ for All of Life.” Doug Wilson, a Christian nationalist who co-founded the Idaho-based Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), has been promoting misogynistic ideas and gender roles, as he claims that’s what the Bible tells him to…

President Donald Trump this week claimed that trust scores for patients in the Veterans Affairs health care system have risen dramatically since he returned to office in January, but department data doesn’t back up his claim. During an Oval Office event with military families on Monday, Trump praised the work of VA Secretary Doug Collins thus far, asserting that the department now has a “93% approval rating” under his leadership. “We had a great first term and it was pretty close to that then,” he said. “And then [President Joe Biden’s administration] took over and it went down into the…
Israel’s strikes on the Gaza hospital have killed five journalists. A total of twenty people were killed on Monday in an Israeli “double tap” airstrike on Nasser Hospital, the largest medical facility in the southern Gaza Strip. This so-called “double tap” attack occurred in two steps, with the second wave of strikes hitting first responders and reporters at the scene. The second strike was also captured by an extremely graphic livestream by Jordan-based Alghad TV. The munition directly hit people gathered on an external stairwell of the hospital, frequently used by media to film views across the Khan Younis area in…
When a state is sued over the constitutionality of a law, the state’s attorney general is usually responsible for defending the state against the charges in court. However, things in Florida can get a bit topsy-turvy at times. In a somewhat strange turn of events, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear a case challenging the state’s ban on firearms purchases by adults who are 18, 19, and 20 years of age. But according to a story at gulfcoastnewsnow.com, rather than wanting the court to uphold the law, Uthmeier wants the law overturned. The…

The federal law barring illegal drug users from owning firearms has been much in the news lately. It has also been considered by several courts over the past few months, with widely varying rulings on the matter. A recent appeals court ruling is unlikely to bring much clarity to the situation. On August 20, a three-judge panel of the Atlanta-based 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a group of Florida residents who use medical marijuana had plausibly alleged that the law as applied to them violates their right to keep and bear arms under the Second Amendment. In the…
We witnessed a lot of horrible things in the 20th century. Atrocities that we humans, surprisingly, seem to be circling back to! Then you wake up one day in 2025 and nukes are back on the table. One of the things we have not seen is a city or even a nation ripped from the power grid and the municipal water system forever. That’s what an EMP can do. People understand there is not much we can do in an event like this. Everything we have prepped till that moment is everything we will have to survive it. To maintain…
August might mean new backpacks and school supply runs for most Americans, but for the military and veteran community, it signals something else entirely.This is not just back-to-school season. It is the start of admin hell — the time of year when benefit deadlines, readiness checks, enrollment certifications and medical screenings collide with login errors, system maintenance and incomplete forms.For many in uniform, August becomes a month-long sprint to meet bureaucratic obligations before the fiscal year ends. And every year, the stakes feel a little higher.Veterans and the post-PACT Act claims surgeVeterans who submitted an “Intent to File” under the…
Over 250 firearms were surrendered in a recent New Mexico buyback event, but critics question the effectiveness of such programs in reducing actual crime. Rather than allowing legal owners or collectors to purchase these firearms, they’re being cut up and turned into garden tools.

Though the group celebrates this as a win for community safety, many gun rights advocates are left shaking their heads, and…
