Some Democratic senators say they are deeply concerned that a Pentagon plan to allow military lawyers to work as temporary immigration judges will violate a ban on using service members for law enforcement and affect the military justice system.“These military officers would serve under the command and control of the Attorney General and would execute administrative determinations at the direction of the Attorney General,” according to the letter signed by 12 Democrats on the Senate Armed Services Committee. It added that “these actions are inherently law enforcement actions that may not be performed by members of the armed forces.”“We remain…

A separate trial for Burke’s two co-defendants — Next Jump co-CEOs Yongchul…
Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadGroup membership during collapse. It sounds simple until it isn’t. Someone knocks. They need help. You know them—or maybe you don’t. But they’re standing at your front door. They’re tired, scared, hungry, maybe sick. And they need help. You have stew cooking. Their kids haven’t eaten in days. You know that sharing your food is taking away from your family. Every meal you share with other is one meal closer to you and your loved ones starving. That moment is not the moment to start thinking about how your group handles new members. Unless…
ANNAPOLIS, Md. — A former U.S. Naval Academy midshipman has been charged in federal court with making a threat across state lines related to a lockdown and shooting at the military college in Maryland last week, the U.S. attorney’s office in Indiana said Tuesday.Jackson Fleming, 23, was arrested Friday on suspicion of sending an online threat through a social media application concerning the academy, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Indiana said in a news release.

Sign up for the On The Gun Newsletter The latest for gun hunters and competitive shooters. The Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol and Mossberg 940 Pro Tactical share much in common. These semi-auto tactical shotguns have similar operating systems, magazine capacities, feature sets, and cost nearly the same. In addition, they are two of the best-selling shotguns of their type at their price. I’ve shot both extensively on an individual basis but had never compared them head-to-head. I’ve often recommended them to people who want a quality shotgun for self-defense but don’t want to spend $2,000 or more on a premium…
The .30 caliber suppressor market has reached a tipping point where exceptional performance no longer requires a premium price tag. Today’s affordable options deliver professional-grade sound suppression, robust construction, and versatile mounting systems that rival suppressors costing twice as much. Smart manufacturers are sweetening these deals with free tax stamp promotions, making premium sound suppression more accessible than ever. Why .30 Caliber Suppressors Dominate the Market The .30 caliber platform represents the ultimate in suppressor versatility. These workhorses handle everything from whisper-quiet .300 Blackout subsonic loads to thunderous .30-06 hunting cartridges. They excel with popular calibers like the .308 Winchester,…
To some proponents, using the military is a justified means of mitigating a drug epidemic that killed 80,000 Americans last year. And if military force is to be used, sinking drug vessels is a particularly enticing option: Better to drop bombs in the Caribbean than to send troops on drug raids into Mexico, the theory goes.Yet sinking ships on the high seas also carries risks, some U.S. experts argue.“Attacking cartel assets at sea avoids the sovereignty issues that arise with attacks on land,” warn researchers Mark Cancian and Chris Park in an analysis for the Center for International and Strategic…
Drones are swiftly changing the nature of warfare, but for years, the United States has tied its hands behind its back when it comes to selling cutting-edge drone technology. Washington has long held fast to a strict interpretation of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) — an informal political agreement formed in 1987 to limit the proliferation of missiles and missile technologies — which the U.S. applied to certain uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) as well, thereby preventing itself from selling its most advanced drones to many key partners. But China, Turkey and others have had no such scruples, which has…
This article was originally published by Ryan McMaken at The Mises Institute. The Federal Reserve is set to lower the target policy interest rate this week in spite of the fact that price inflation rose again in August. The Fed has, for many years, insisted that it is equally committed to both sides of its so-called “dual mandate” of pursuing both “price stability” and maximum employment. Yet, the Fed is increasingly showing that price inflation is not even one of the central bank’s chief concerns. If the Fed cuts the target federal funds rate on Wednesday, we will know that what really matters for…

South Korea’s three leading shipbuilders announced more detailed plans this month to cooperate with the Pentagon and revitalize American shipbuilding. Representatives of South Korean industrial titans Hanwha, Samsung and HD Hyundai Heavy Industries shared new insights about their work with the U.S. Navy during Korea Investment Week, which took place in Seoul from Sept. 9 to 12.

As the U.S. seeks to expand its maritime power to keep pace with an…
A longtime U.S. Navy doctor was removed from her leadership position after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth publicly reposted a social media link chastising her for a position it appears she never held.Janelle Marra was relieved of her duties this month as director of medical services at Expeditionary Medical Facility 150-Bravo in San Diego, California, shortly after Hegseth’s post on X announcing her firing, a U.S. defense official confirmed to Military Times.

No matter what side you are on, it should be clear that the United States is committing war crimes by killing citizens of other sovereign nations and removing due process from the equation. This is now a slippery slope that the ruling class has shoved every single one of us down. The operation follows a strike on September 2nd that destroyed a similar vessel and killed 11 people, according to Trump. U.S. vice president J.D. Vance infamously said that he didn’t “give a s**t” if you call what the ruling class is doing a “war crime.” Is it becoming clear…

In bright outdoor light, the green dot can be easier to pick up than red — and now you can get that advantage with the same battle-proven RMR that won the USSOCOM contract.…

Everything about the discovery of a fossilized leatherback sea turtle in Alabama four years ago is fascinating. The findings of the never-before studied species were published in a study Friday, concluding (for now) a story that’s been millions of years in the making. The most recent chapter began in 2021, when a family in Alabama discovered the rock, and later recruited professionals to verify what they suspected was a monumental find. “I put my hands on it. I just had to confirm…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A Florida village councilman is under pressure to resign from his post after mocking Charlie Kirk’s shocking assassination as a “fitting sacrifice” to firearm “Lords,” but has so far rebuffed stepping down. “Charlie Kirk is a fitting sacrifice to our Lords Smith & Wesson. Hallowed be their names,” Palmetto Bay, Florida, councilman Steve Cody wrote in a now-deleted Facebook post after Kirk’s Wednesday assassination, CBS Miami reported. The post set off an onslaught of condemnation on social media, including users remarking on Facebook and X that Cody was a “shameful man” and a “disgrace,”…
Regardless of which side you are on in this horrific shooting incident that took place at Utah Valley University on September 10th, one thing we can all agree on is that it can only be a psychological operation, or psyop. Charlie Kirk’s murder has spurred conspiracy theories and speculations, but the divide-and-conquer scheme has never been more on display. The videos of Kirk’s death that had been widely circulated on social media now seem difficult to come by. But it isn’t the video that this writer takes issue with; the strange dot moving across his shirt (which looks like a…
