President Donald Trump on Friday evening announced the most aggressive U.S. action to date aimed at easing concerns over global oil supply and getting shipping moving in the vital Strait of Hormuz. Writing on Truth Social, Trump said that at his direction, Central Command “executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East, and totally obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran’s crown jewel, Kharg Island.” The president said he refrained from wiping out the oil infrastructure on the island, but warned, “should Iran, or anyone else, do anything to interfere with the Free and…

Ukraine is giving international partners and defense companies access to its vast trove of real combat data to train artificial intelligence models for autonomous drone systems — a move Kyiv is calling “the first initiative of its kind in the world.”Officials approved a resolution this week launching a new cooperation framework between the state, domestic defense companies and foreign partners, the Ministry of Defense announced Thursday. “The future of warfare belongs to autonomous systems,” Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov wrote in a release announcing the program. “Our objective is to increase the level of autonomy in drones and other combat…

The turkey ammo market has been flipped on its head this year as the price of Tungsten Super Shot skyrocketed. Amid the turmoil, ammo manufacturers are working to provide the best turkey loads they can at prices that customers can stomach. Some are loading a less-dense tungsten pellet as a way of avoiding the harshest tariffs. Others are stacking tungsten pellets with lead.  But still, all of these loads are much more expensive than good old lead ammo. So which of these turkey loads…

This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News.  Introduction I am writing this in March 2026, as American and Israeli bombs are falling on Iran in a conflict President Trump promises will be brief [1]. But I do not believe the official justifications. In my view, we are being marched toward a catastrophic domestic false flag operation, engineered by elements of our own state, designed to sacrifice American lives on the altar of a forever war. This is not speculation; it is the recognition of a desperate, repeating pattern. The warnings about ‘Iranian drone’ threats are not intelligence…

State officials announced earlier this week, however, that they are rejecting Gelman’s record because it was caught on the New York side (and not the New Jersey side) of the lake, which spans both states. Gelman, who lives and works in New York, spoke with Outdoor Life two days after he caught the trophy fish on…

Hunters and landowners in northern Minnesota are raising concerns about a corn spill along a railway, where they say at least 100 whitetails have been found dead along the tracks in recent weeks. Apparently a northbound train car full of corn opened up in transit somewhere near Thief River Falls, dumping its load for miles along the tracks and luring deer, which are in turn hit by trains. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has confirmed the accidental spillage to local…

But, there’s much more to this native fish than meets the eye. Burbot, commonly known as eelpout, can be found throughout the Northern hemisphere, primarily in Canada, Alaska, and along the Northern border of the lower 48. There is also a native species that lives in Europe and Asia. The average size of a burbot can range anywhere between 1.5 to 5 pounds, with the heavier fish tipping the scales around 10 pounds…

Setermoen, Norway — Following their success in Ukraine, Arctic nations are assessing whether first-person-view drones could be deployed on Arctic battlefields. Roughly 240 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle, two soldiers — part of the Norwegian Armed Forces’ long-range reconnaissance unit — were imperceptible from their position deep in the woods during NATO’s Cold Response 2026 exercise.One of the only clues of their presence was a small, grey, first-person-view drone lying on the snow — a stark contrast to their all-white uniforms. The drone in question is an American system, the Skydio X10D, which is also used by Ukrainian forces.…

In a United States War Department-issued “Line of Position” notebook, Capt. Robert A. Lewis begins like many service member letters, with a “Dear Mom + Dad.” But this log, dated Aug. 6, 1945, is unlike any other entry from World War II. Lewis, the co-pilot of the B-29 Enola Gay, was en route to Japan from the Pacific island of Tinian when he began recording. Now, his account, written during and in the immediate aftermath of dropping the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, is for sale. His “blow by blow description,” which includes his famous reaction: “My God what…

We should all be expecting the price of oil to continue to rise, as the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Global oil supplies are being hindered, and if the cost-of-living crisis wasn’t bad enough, it looks like it’s about to get much worse. Crude oil, gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, natural gas, petrochemicals, power, and fertilizer prices have all risen sharply since the conflict began. The narrow shipping lane, known as the Strait of Hormuz, between Iran and Oman, remains closed. This lane is the one through which around a fifth of the world’s daily oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply passes.  The…

Everyone has their favorite style that suits their preference. Heavy trigger, light trigger, no travel, some travel, thumb trigger, hinge, index finger, wrist strap, no wrist strap, and the options go on.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said Friday that Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, had been “wounded and likely disfigured” in recent American-Israeli attacks. Hegseth also warned that the United States is undertaking the most intense day of bombing yet in Operation Epic Fury.“We know the new so-called, not-so-supreme leader, is wounded and likely disfigured,” Hegseth told reporters during a press briefing. He described Khamenei’s first public statement since his elevation — delivered as a written message read aloud on Iranian state television — as “a weak one,” underscoring that the supreme leader did not appear on video or…

The author’s hunt took place in what is now Tanzania. Tanganyika was a colonial territory of the United Kingdom from 1916 to 1961 and a sovereign state from 1961 to 1964. “Down for a piece of cake,” said Frank Miller cheerfully, even before the reverberation of my shot had died away. His remark raised two questions. First, how could he know, having, as he did, a fine view of the…
