When the Army picked the SIG MCX Spear as its Next Generation Squad Weapon, the reaction in a lot of gun circles was mixed. On paper, the 6.8×51 cartridge promised better armor-penetration and range than 5.56. In the real world, the original M7 Spear carbine came off as heavy, gassy, and hard to control for the average soldier. What SIG brought out for this recent range session is what the original gun probably should have been from the beginning: an 11-inch, trimmed-down variant that feels a lot more like a fighting rifle and less like a science project. Garand Thumb…

The U.S. is drafting a proposal that includes weighing possible military engagement in Nigeria, a senior State Department official said this week. The discussion comes weeks after President Donald Trump threatened military action in Africa’s most populous country over the alleged persecution of Christians by Islamic insurgent groups. The Trump administration may also choose to escalate its pressure campaign by less dramatic means, including through imposing sanctions, Jonathan Pratt, a senior bureau official for African Affairs at the State Department, testified to the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The White House casts its overall objective as safeguarding religious liberties. “The Trump…

This article was originally published by Willow Tohi at Natural News.  A new study finds self-reported cognitive disability in U.S. adults under 40 nearly doubled from 2013 to 2023. Chronic conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes are key drivers, damaging brain blood vessels and increasing inflammation. Socioeconomic factors are significant, with lower income and education levels correlating with higher rates of cognitive difficulty. The trend suggests modern lifestyle stressors, including poor diet and constant digital stimulation, are harming young brains. Experts emphasize that proactive lifestyle changes targeting metabolism and stress can protect and restore cognitive function. In a dramatic…

The Truth About Guns has long tracked the federal government’s habit of pushing past constitutional limits in the name of law enforcement. Now we have another example of the FBI taking an interest in a gun-rights organisation for reasons that remain unclear and unexplained. Cato recently received a long-delayed response to a Freedom of Information Act request that shines a light on how the Bureau has been monitoring the Socialist Rifle Association. The SRA is a left-leaning group, but it is still a firearms training and civil rights organisation. Politics aside, the Second Amendment protects every American, including people the…

Long before “ultralight” became mainstream, George Washington Sears — better known by his pen name Nessmuk — was rewriting the rules of outdoor gear. In the late 1800s, he wrote about using lightweight gear and smaller knives. This was a time when the Sandbar Fight had shifted from news to legend, making Bowie knives a standard piece of outdoor gear. Add in…

Among the most strategically vital objectives for the United States forces in the Pacific during World War II were three islands in the Marianas: Saipan, Guam and Tinian. Close enough to the Japanese Home Islands to be reached by the new Boeing B-29 heavy bombers, they were desperately defended, including history’s largest aircraft carrier duel in the Philippine Sea on June 19-20, the largest suicidal “banzai charge” of the war and the horrific mass suicide by Japanese military and civilians at Marpi Point. Smaller and less dramatic than the other two battles of the Marianas Campaign, Tinian nevertheless produced its…
