On June 6, 1944, over 160,000 Allied troops were sent across the English Channel onto the beaches of Normandy, France, marking the assault on Western Europe. Yet the operation, dubbed Operation Overlord, almost ended in disaster before it even began.Now, the upcoming film ”Pressure,” adapted from writer David Haig’s 2014 play of the same name, is set to relieve those angst-filled 72 hours leading up to D-Day. The film stars Academy Award winner Brendan Fraser (“The Whale”) as Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces Dwight D. Eisenhower and Andrew Scott (“Fleabag”) as Group Captain James Stagg, the chief meteorologist who…

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said that Russia is not threatening the Baltic state, but will aim its nuclear weapons at it if NATO nukes are deployed there. Russia has long drawn a red line over the use of weapons by other countries against it. Russia Threatens UK With Attacks If British Weapons Are Used By Ukraine While Russia did not claim it was going to strike Estonia, it did warn that its weapons would be pointed in that direction.…

On Saturday, United States ruler Donald Trump said that he would send a “great hospital boat” to Greenland to take care of what he called its “many people who are sick, and not being taken care of.” Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen immediately rejected the idea, saying “no thank you.” Trump has been attempting to acquire the Arctic island. A few months ago, he refused to rule out military intervention as a way to take the island by force if necessary. Since then, his rhetoric has softened slightly, with the U.S. ruler now wanting to “buy” and annex the autonomous…

The retired Marine had some projects he needed to finish for his company, Semper Fi Roofing and Restoration. After a bit of prodding from Chalton, Andrew finally agreed to head out for a few hours. It would prove to be one of the best decisions he’s ever made. “It’s funny but we almost went to a different spot,” Andrew tells Outdoor Life. “Chalton…

An analysis of exit surveys completed by sailors departing the service has surfaced one clear finding: the fleet is burnt out.That’s according to Rear Adm. Jennifer Couture, the Navy’s director of Military Personnel Plans and Policy. In an interview with Military Times this month, Couture said the Navy is considering significant changes — including cutting down the length of sailors’ second sea tours — to make service more sustainable and keep troops in uniform for longer.Couture said Navy personnel officials had undertaken an exit survey analysis about a year ago, seeking to take advantage of data the service routinely collected…

Politicians love to parade veterans around during their campaigns. They treat us as props in television ads, backdrops for speeches and convenient proof points for patriotism. They shake our hands, thank us for our service and swear they “have our backs.”Then they get elected.Standing next to a veteran for a photo or soundbite costs nothing. It requires no courage, no compromise and no work. It fits effortlessly into campaign messaging, where symbolism is rewarded and accountability is absent. But governing is where promises are supposed to turn into policy.Recent Congresses rank among the least productive in modern history, paralyzed by…

This article was originally published by Ava Grace at Natural News.  A major international trial found that while reducing sodium improves patients’ daily symptoms and quality of life, it does not reduce hospitalizations, emergency visits, or mortality. Led by Dr. Justin Ezekowitz, it randomly assigned over 800 heart failure patients across six countries to either receive standard care or intensive counseling to limit sodium to 1,500 mg per day. The intervention successfully changed behavior, but not the hardest health outcomes. The counseled group significantly reduced sodium intake, primarily by avoiding processed foods, yet showed no statistical difference in death or…

A Florida bill could allow churches, synagogues, mosques and other places of worship to use armed volunteers for security without requiring them to hold a professional security license.Senate Bill 52, which unanimously passed the chamber earlier this month, would authorize houses of worship to use armed volunteers instead of hiring licensed security guards, which supporters say would help cut costs while still keeping people safe.”It’s now common for synagogues, churches, and mosques to have armed security,” state Sen.

United States ruler Donald Trump has raised the global tariff rate to 15%, up from 10%, just one day after the Supreme Court struck down most of his other instituted tariffs. But Trump said he’d find a way to get around the ruling. The U.S. government would find ways to impose other “new and legally permissible tariffs” in the coming months. He had earlier promised to launch investigations into potentially unfair foreign trade practices that could lead to additional tariffs. Trump’s Sweeping Tariffs Set To Hit Consumers Hard — From iPhones to Automobiles On Friday, America’s highest court ruled that the…

Sign up for the On The Gun Newsletter The latest for gun hunters and competitive shooters. There was a time when American shooters were not very fond of rifle cartridges with “mm” in their names. The 7mm Remington Magnum helped change that attitude when it was introduced 64 years ago alongside the iconic Remington 700 bolt action rifle. For Big Green, the timing was perfect. Big-game hunters quickly came to view the combination as a perfect marriage, especially for hunting elk and mule deer in big, open country. Since then, shooters have been able to employ numerous 7mm cartridges, but…

Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics This story, “Flying and Fly Fishing,” first ran in the December 1934 issue of Outdoor Life. FOR ME, flying and fly-fishing both began in California. The first flight was as a passenger with Frank Hawks, the first fishing as a novice in the Sierras.  Then — also on the West Coast, and also in the dark ages of longer ago than I like to remember — a pilot named John Montijo taught me to fly. My husband, not so long ago, undertook some post-graduate instruction in…
