Extracurricular activities have resumed at schools for military families after a pause tied to the federal government shutdown halted sports and other school-related pursuits for several days.For students at places like Fort Campbell and Fort Knox high schools, it means touchdowns, soccer goals and volleyball digs are back, as their schools were untangled from shutdown politics.“Allowing the sports to continue is just a small thing to some people, but to the students, coaches and parents, it’s huge,” Antonia Kruse, whose son, Levi, plays wide receiver and cornerback on the Fort Campbell High football team, said Tuesday. “They already have so…

On Friday, October 3rd, the United States Supreme Court granted a petition for writ of certiorari in Wolford v. Lopez, signaling that the High Court will hear arguments as to whether or not Hawaii may restrict licensed permit holders from carrying a firearm on private property open to the public without the express permission of the property owner. The debate should be moot at this level, as it is a clear attempt to obfuscate the landmark 2022 Supreme Court ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen. The law was initially hit with an injunction by…

President Donald Trump has suggested that United States forces could soon be on the ground in Venezuela. The U.S. ruling class could quickly escalate a brewing conflict from sea to land operations, expanding what the ruler has called “a war on terrorist drug cartels.” While speaking at a Navy anniversary ceremony in Norfolk, Virginia, Trump said American forces had struck another vessel off Venezuela’s coast, allegedly carrying narcotics. “In recent weeks, the Navy has supported our mission to blow the cartel terrorists the hell out of the water … we did another one last night. Now we just can’t find…

The U.S. Navy is scavenging for spare parts from grounded materiel in order to address maintenance needs, a new government watchdog report found.The problem arises from gaps in the Defense Department’s data rights for weapon systems that force Navy maintainers to rely on vendors for parts, which in turn can balloon maintenance timelines.In the event of these repair delays, the service maintains operational readiness by repurposing parts from its own aircraft and submarines.The DOD doesn’t obtain the data rights and intellectual property (IP) from contractors and manufacturers it needs to adequately sustain the weapons systems those contractors produce, the U.S.…

While it is far from being an overwhelming lead, a recent national survey revealed that more Americans agree with Republicans’ hands-off policies in dealing with gun control than Democrats’ restrictive proposals for more gun laws. The Reuters/Ipsos poll surveyed Americans on a number of different matters, among them being gun policy and differences between parties when it comes to battling the country’s violent crime problem.
