President Donald Trump has called for Russia and Ukraine to “stop where they are” and quit fighting after concluding talks in Washington Friday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.Taking to Truth Social late Friday afternoon, Trump wrote that “it is time to stop the killing, and make a DEAL!

The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) might not be directly involved in the new lawsuit challenging California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Glock ban, but the organization’s leaders still had some choice words for arguably America’s most anti-gun governor. On October 14, CCRKBA posted a news item to its website in which it weighed in on the unconstitutional law, the new lawsuit and on Gov. Newsom personally. The lawsuit, Jaymes v. Bonta, was filed on October 13 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California by the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), the National…
A board of U.S. Air Force Academy graduates that was expected to vote Friday on whether to extend an honorary degree and honorary membership into the academy’s alumni association to slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk withdrew both of the motions.In a statement late Friday, the Association of Graduates, which serves as the academy’s nonprofit alumni group, said its board of directors dropped the motions after hearing the past two days from “several hundred” Air Force Academy graduates, parents and other family members about the idea to recognize Kirk.The board met in Colorado Springs on Friday afternoon to consider the measures.“We…
The Savage Model 99 was a revolutionary lever-action firearm. A literal revolution made possible by the use of an integrated rotary magazine design. In 1899, lever actions weren’t new by any means, but the Savage rotary magazine opened up the lever action platform to spitzer-type bullets. Lever actions with tubular magazines are forced to use round-nose projectiles so the pointy end of a spitzer cartridge doesn’t impact the primer of the round in front of it. Look at this classic rifle. With that said, it took a number of years for Spitzer bullets to find their way into the Savage…
Sept. 23, 2025, is a milestone that highlights the U.S. Air Force’s capacity death spiral. On that day, the Maryland Air National Guard (ANG) inactivated the 104th Fighter Squadron, making Maryland the only state without an ANG flying unit. The reason is simple: For too many years, Air Force funding shortfalls have driven service leaders to retire more aircraft than they can replace through new acquisition. With demand for Air Force airpower at record levels, remaining aircraft and crews are stretched thin. The Air Force has passed the point where more cannot be done with less. The Trump administration and…
Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics Nebraska fishing guide George Thompson knew exactly where he was headed Sunday, when he launched his boat on the Missouri River along with his two sons. He says they’d hooked something huge the week prior on the stretch north of Council Bluffs, where the river forms the border between Nebraska and Iowa. “I knew it was a monster fish that was probably in that 100-pound range,” says Thompson, who operates Missouri River Catfish Guides out of Omaha. “We were hunting for that specific fish when we…
The functions of the provisional Independent Capabilities Command will be folded into a restructured version of Air Force Futures by next April, the department said Wednesday.“This restructuring will accelerate the delivery of combat power, improve efficiency and shorten the decision timeline,” Air Force Sec. Troy Meink said in a statement.Now, the duties of what would have been the ICC will still be done, but not as its own brand new command.The Air Force said that this change will leverage the work done over the past year and speed up decision making, while cutting personnel and eliminating duplication of effort at…
Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics A stocked trout fishery is only as good as its stocking source. And on a handful of key trout rivers in Arkansas, ongoing problems with hatcheries have led officials to curtail fishing limits. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission voted unanimously on Thursday to approve an emergency order on the state’s four best stretches of trout water: the White River, the Norfork River, the Little Red River, and the Upper White River. These are all tailwaters, fed by coldwater releases from large reservoirs, and they’re well…

You’ve heard the term “This ain’t my first rodeo”, I’m sure. Well, I’m here to tell you that, with gel blocks, this IS my first rodeo. I have, for decades, wanted to shoot into them to test my handloads and cast bullet performance, but I really couldn’t justify the expense. Enter Clear Ballistics. They sent me a block to try, as part of an arrangement with them. I was truly grateful to get it… my first block ever, over right at 50 years of shooting. So you can read into that that I’m still learning about what to shoot, and…

In just one week in February 1968 America would suffer the highest casualties of the Vietnam War — from North Vietnam’s Tet Offensive, the battles of Hue and Quang Tri and the siege of Khe Sanh, the news out of southeast Asia was very bad to dismal. But it wasn’t even the full picture. For decades, the battle of Lima Site 85 — a top-secret American tactical air navigation radar site atop at 5,800-foot-high mountaintop 15 miles from the North Vietnamese border — would remain secret, unreported. While “officially neutral,” Laos helped to pit communist Pathet Lao rebels backed by…

In a recent Facebook post in the North Idaho Elk Hunting group, Tonya Kiele shared a photo of her son with his first-ever elk, an extremely rare and gnarly looking “cactus bull.” The antlers are short but thick and heavy, with layers of velvet still attached. They look a lot like the arms coming off a saguaro cactus — thus the common name for such a unique animal. “Once in a lifetime” is how Kiele described the bull, which her son…
Israeli forces have killed dozens of people in Gaza despite having a ceasefire agreement. At least 23 Palestinians have been killed since the peace deal was signed. The ceasefire has been on a razor’s edge since it went into effect. While hostages have been released, and the remains of deceased hostages have been returned, people are still dying in the conflict. In addition to those killed in attacks, the Gaza Health Ministry said that 122 others have been wounded in the same period of time, since the beginning of the ceasefire. The circumstances of the attacks vary, but the death…
