A bill introduced last week in the Senate would allow U.S. troops to file claims against the Defense Department for incidents of sexual assault or harassment that happen while serving on active duty.Modeled after similar legislation the permits service members to sue DoD for damages caused by military medical malpractice, the proposed Military Sexual Trauma Accountability Act would let service members and veterans file civil claims for negligence over service-related sexual trauma.Service members are barred from suing the federal government for injury or harm that occurs as a result of military duties under the Feres doctrine, a legal precedent based…

Every crossbow I tested shot a sub-3-inch group average at 50 yards. They were all easy to cock, can be de-cocked, and have plenty of speed. The key to choosing a crossbow among this stellar group is your budget and your must-have features. ​If you have unlimited budget and want a fast and compact crossbow, the TenPoint TX Ultra 29.5 is the way to go. If you prioritize…

It was a warm, early autumn day in D.C. as Sam O’Hara trailed several National Guard members.It had been several weeks since President Donald Trump had declared a “crime emergency” in the nation’s capital and deployed federal troops. On three separate occasions O’Hara had taken to playing “The Imperial March” as a Star Wars-inspired peaceful protest, recorded and uploaded to O’Hara’s social media accounts. Passersby can be heard saying “May the force be with you” and several guardsmen smiled or laughed at O’Hara’s satirist opposition. That is, until Sept. 11, 2025, when Sgt. Devon Beck, a guardsman from Ohio, took…

The Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have said that the current Ebola outbreak could become the largest on record. Health officials still say that the risk to Americans is low. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC or DR Congo) says that the number of confirmed Ebola cases has reached 1,274, including 360 deaths. Contact tracing covers only 30% of cases as the Bundibugyo virus spreads through refugee camps with over 1,100 infections and 250 deaths since May, when the outbreak was first noticed, according to a report by DongA Science.  Jean Kaseya, the Director General of Africa CDC,…

Of 116 Naval Criminal Investigative Service case files opened into allegations of sexual assault and misconduct onboard Military Sealift Command ships over a 20-year period, just five show that the case concluded at court-martial or in civilian court.That information is now public and searchable as a database due to a records request from the Maritime Legal Aid Foundation, which represents those who report being victims of shipboard harassment and abuse. Launched earlier this month, the archive, which covers all relevant cases between 2000 and 2022, shows a broad range of alleged misconduct — most of which has never before been…

Military commanders love to warn troops that overreliance on GPS technology could spell disaster when signals are jammed or networks go down. But could handing navigation over to a computer be diminishing their powers of observation and decision-making skills as well?That’s the question an upcoming study from the University of Texas at Arlington aims to find out. The yearlong, $200,000 study, funded through the Department of Defense via a sub-grant, will use virtual reality simulations to track aspects of observation and recall in subjects with and without navigation aids.Steven Weisberg and Hunter Ball, associate professors of psychology at the university…

As the Army contends with a shortage of ships to carry troops and supplies in the Pacific, it’s pressing contract vessels into service – and looking to a future in which dozens of heavy-duty autonomous watercraft take on a significant portion of the task.The Army’s little-known fleet of watercraft included about 70 Pacific-based vessels in 2024, down from 134 in 2018. According to a Government Accountability Office report published two years ago, the mission-capable rate of the remaining vessels has sharply declined, from more than 70% in 2020 to less than 40% in 2024.In a roundtable with reporters this month,…

We often rely on our dog’s sharp senses and ancient impulses during outdoor pursuits (including everything from bird hunting, to blood trailing deer, to search-and-rescue missions). But any bird hunter with a Labrador retriever can tell you that dogs also have a tendency to eat just about anything. Sometimes the wild plants and nuts they eat can make them sick. These are the 10 wild plants you should make sure your pup does not chow…

This article was originally published by Morgan S. Verity at Natural News.  The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 7-2 on Thursday, June 25, that federal pesticide law bars state failure-to-warn claims against Bayer’s Roundup weedkiller – a decision expected to throw out thousands of lawsuits alleging the product causes cancer. In the majority opinion, Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote that the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) preempts state law claims because the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved the product’s label without a cancer warning, according to the ruling. [1] [2] The case centered on Missouri resident John Durnell, who developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma after using…

This article was originally published by Amirhossein Eshtiaghi at The Mises Institute.  Bernie Sanders is a socialist populist. His unfamiliarity with the fundamentals of economics explains why he considers Denmark to be socialist. A former Danish Prime Minister once implicitly addressed such claims, noting that Denmark’s economy is not socialist, but rather a market economy. But the truth does not matter to American leftists. He has now made headlines again with a bill that would expand state participation in the AI sector—a plan that, contrary to the claims of his supporters, could have disastrous consequences. In the following, these consequences are briefly examined.…
