Strange title, and the preview keeps it that way.

A gun in a box. There is a reason for it.

Twenty-five years on. The point is not forgetting.

His case: one law for Hunter Biden, another for us.

He won’t say what in the title. Press play.

He made it out. Hear how, from him.

Somebody’s inside your house. Have a plan before then.

TL;DR—The OODA Loop is a four-step decision cycle: Observe, Orient, Decide, Act. Colonel John Boyd, a U.S. Air Force fighter pilot, developed it to explain why the pilot who reads the fight and moves first wins it. Observe and Orient are your situational awareness. Decide and Act are what you do about it, and the faster and more accurately you move through all four, the more time and options you keep. Ever notice how some people seem to see trouble coming before anyone else in the room does — and act on it without freezing up? That’s not luck. It’s…

The Oregon Air National Guard’s 142nd Wing dropped live bombs from its F-15EX Eagle IIs — the first time an operational Eagle II unit has done so, according to official photos and captions released Wednesday. The drops came during a three-week deployment to Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, that ended this month.The wing said the deployment, in support of the Air Force Weapons Instructor Course, produced “a historical milestone, dropping live bombs from operational F-15EXs for the first time.” The images show jets on the ramp and in the air on Aug. 27, some carrying a live 500-pound Mk-82 on…

The U.S. Air Force’s fighter pilots are not getting the number of sorties per month necessary to be deemed combat mission ready, a Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies expert said, down from around five and a half per month in fiscal 2023 to only around one currently.For combat readiness, the average fighter pilot needs about nine or 10 sorties a month to be considered combat mission ready, according to past service statements. But based on conversations with commanders and line pilots, John Venable, a senior resident fellow at the Mitchell Institute, said pilots are being afforded the opportunity to fly…

Saddle hunting has boomed in popularity, as whitetail hunters embrace a minimalist mindset to save weight and bulk compared to traditional treestand options. Manufacturers and brands are in an arms race as they aim to offer lightweight and modular solutions to meet the demands of the modern mobile hunter. This bodes well for anyone hoping to upgrade their saddle kit, but the seemingly endless options can be intimidating to navigate. I tested nine of the best tree saddles on the market to narrow your search. The Best Tree Saddles at a Glance How I Tested the Best Tree Saddles I’ve…

Devastating attacks by Iran on U.S. bases across the Middle East in recent months have exposed war strategies that are becoming increasingly outdated, one U.S. Army commanding general acknowledged this week. Gone are the days when America fought from sprawling command posts with overwhelming air superiority. Now faced with adversaries toting long-range fires and drones, the U.S. military is relearning a basic principle: how to hide. As services adopt new strategies, the Army’s Combined Arms Command, or CAC, an outfit responsible for overseeing the service’s leadership and doctrine development, is changing how it teaches troops about concealment. “Hiding in plain…

Dogs are resilient. Working breeds in particular can tolerate the discomfort and grind of a long hunting season. But just because our gun dogs get along fine with whatever we’ve been doing doesn’t mean they can’t benefit from smart yet simple lifestyle changes. The good news is these tweaks require minimal effort on your part. I’ve hunted with and interviewed plenty of gun dog trainers and veterinarians over the years, and I’ve picked up a few good habits — and shed some bad ones — after learning how the pros care for their own dogs. Dr. RuthAnn Lobos is the…

Twenty-five years after the deadliest attack on U.S. soil, Americans paused on Friday to commemorate the nearly 3,000 people killed when hijacked planes slammed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania — and to wrestle with the consequences of September 11 that reverberate to this day.In New York, family members of the victims, many carrying pictures of their loved ones, joined Vice President JD Vance and four former U.S. presidents at Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan. The ceremony began, as always, at 8:46 a.m. Eastern Standard Time with a moment of silence to remember the…

A major artificial intelligence company said that Iranian bad actors used its publicly accessible software to target U.S. service members in the Middle East.The Thursday Anthropic report covers the time period between December 2025 and August 2026 and highlights the misuse of its large language model Claude, which it says the threat actor used to make targeting recommendations against U.S. Navy forces in the region.“The threat actor used Claude to compile targeting handbooks…to identify and track naval positions based on open-source information,” the report said.The bad actor used the AI software to collect information that included a list of U.S.…

An 11-year-old Kansas girl missed a buck her family had been watching for years. Days later, on her birthday, she put her .270 on him at the far end of the same field. He weighed 225 pounds.

Missile defense in wartime involves many complications. Human operators must deal with high-speed objects, short timelines and sensor data that isn’t always clear.The Pentagon now wants artificial intelligence that can cut through the confusion. It’s seeking “AI-based software tools to turn fragmented sensor data into a continuously updated understanding of space and missile threats fast enough to drive operational decisions,” according to the Defense Innovation Unit solicitation, which is due Sept. 24. “Existing tools struggle to distinguish closely spaced objects, track emerging threats, and keep threat models current.”The project, known as the “Space Threat Intelligence Synthesis Engine,” will leverage AI’s…

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman sought assistance from U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday to help fight Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis, two sources familiar with the matter said on Friday, as the Houthis stepped up their threat to the Red Sea.Trump held at least two phone conversations with the Saudi leader on Thursday, sources said. In the end, Washington told Riyadh that it was not willing to take direct military action for now but would help with intelligence sharing and targeting, the two sources said.The White House did not address a Reuters question on any phone calls between the two…

A video shared by Iran Wednesday purported to show an American Saildrone unmanned surface vessel near the Strait of Hormuz in flames after being attacked by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has been making the rounds on social media.U.S. officials disputed that claim.“All of our Saildrones are accounted for and fully operational,” an official told Military Times.The video comes on the heels of another incident in which an Anduril Dive-LD autonomous underwater vehicle — designed for long-range surveillance and other undersea missions — was captured on Sept. 8. U.S. Navy Capt. Tim Hawkins of U.S. Central Command told Reuters that…

When most hunters hear “cheap semi-auto shotgun,” they almost immediately begin to question reliability. That’s fair enough. There are a variety of imported Turkish autoloaders on the market and not all of them run reliably in the field. But at Outdoor Life, we’ve tested tons of affordable shotguns through the years and we’ve found that there are plenty of diamonds in the rough. Personally, I grew up shooting a budget shotgun. My first longbeard was taken with my father’s Remington 870 pump when I was 12. At 15, I was given a Stoeger M3000 semi-auto that I still hunt with…

For many Americans, 9/11 can seem like a distant memory, with millions not even born yet. But for U.S. Air Force Capt. Hanna Born, the 2,977 lives lost that day will always be something to remember and honor.Born, an instructor pilot assigned to the 23rd Flying Training Squadron at Fort Rucker, Alabama, has a personal connection to that day, propelling her to join military service and begin Run to Remember, her journey to share on social media a mile for every life lost, she told Military Times.Just before Born turned three years old, she and her four-month-old sister were inside…

Flock cameras, Toka software. The math in that title isn’t subtle.
