Christian nationalism has been on full display, culminating with the murder of Charlie Kirk last year. Religious freedom groups are now receiving complaints that the Christian Nationalist ruling class has told soldiers that the war with Iran is “all part of God’s divine plan.” JD Vance Doubles Down On Christian Nationalism Psyop Continues: Christian Nationalism on the Rise Freedom of religion and freedom from religion are both important if we expect to have a free society. People cannot and should not be expected to live under religious seclusion, especially if they aren’t harming anyone else. However, U.S. military commanders have been…

Improving your Kalashnikov’s trigger with the Geissele AK-X.One thing AK shooters and admirers will never stop talking about is durability.Well, duh. The AK-47 was designed to be used by peasants; simple and strong were built-in.So was the crappy trigger.If you want to keep the peasants from accidentally shooting each other while assaulting the fascist positions on the Eastern Front (did the Soviets call it the Western Front?), you give them a trigger with a lot of travel.A lot.That runs counter to the way we in the West viewed rifles—something you use by aiming and pressing off a shot.What to do?Just…
Sometimes freedom rears its lovely head in unexpected places. A three-judge panel of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals has ruled the District’s restrictive law limiting the capacity of firearms magazines is unconstitutional under the Second Amendment. The law outlawed any magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition, which takes in the vast majority of magazines that come standard with many of the nation’s most popular firearms. Writing for the majority in Benson v. U.S., Judge Joshua Deahl likely startled many gun-ban advocates by getting right to the heart of the matter. On the District’s logic, states…
NEW DELHI — Two Iranian warships have docked in India and Sri Lanka after a U.S. submarine torpedoed an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean just off Sri Lanka’s coast last week.The sinking of the Iris Dena on March 4th was the first military strike outside the Middle East since the war began, and analysts say it raised concerns that the U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran could widen beyond the Persian Gulf if it drags on.It also became a diplomatic embarrassment for New Delhi, which had hosted the sunken vessel for peacetime multilateral naval drills.All three Iranian ships — the…

Iran shut down the shipping lane shortly after the initial joint U.S.-Israel attacks. Now That Iran Has Closed The Strait Of Hormuz, How High Will The Price Of Oil Go?

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned that Tuesday “will be yet again our most intense day of strikes inside Iran: The most fighters, the most bombers, the most strikes, intelligence more refined and better than ever.”Shortly before the statement shared at Tuesday’s press briefing, he said “the last 24 hours have seen Iran fire the lowest amount of missiles they have fired yet.”Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said U.S. forces hit more than 5,000 targets, and that their three objectives included destruction of Iranian ballistic missile and drone capability; hitting Iran’s navy to allow movement…
This article was originally published by George Ford Smith at The Mises Institute. Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming one of the most capital-intensive industries in history. Consider: Semiconductor fabrication plants cost tens of billions of dollars. Massive data centers consume extraordinary amounts of electricity, sending power bills soaring. Specialized engineering talent commands premium wages. (Although the median salary for an AI professional is $160K annually, the top 1 percent of AI researchers receive compensation packages exceeding $1 million). Global supply chains must coordinate rare materials, precision manufacturing, and complex infrastructure. Yet discussions about artificial intelligence almost never address the most important economic variable shaping its development:…
CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand — On March 4, when a U.S. Navy submarine torpedoed an enemy combatant for the first time since World War II, three Australian submariners were aboard.This was a contentious point for Canberra, as it is not a party to military actions against Iran.Two days later, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese confirmed the presence of Royal Australian Navy (RAN) sailors aboard the U.S. submarine when the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena was sunk.“We wouldn’t normally confirm such an issue, but given our meetings and the public interest, I can confirm that there were three Australian personnel on board that vessel,”…

Each one has been used in real-world conditions. Whether you are grilling in your backyard today or cooking in a crisis tomorrow, these skills…
