The United States is committing more war crimes, unapologetically, as it strikes and kills three more people on another alleged trafficking vessel in the Caribbean Sea. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth wrote on X Sunday that “the Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike” on the boat. At the very least, the U.S. is no longer lying to its citizens or the world at large by calling it the Department of Defense. The rebrand was accurate; they only removed the illusion that this was somehow to “defend” the U.S. Now, since its rebrand, the U.S. has been striking…

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners have petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court for review in Schoenthal v. Raoul, SAF’s challenge to the public transit carry ban in Illinois. Originally filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in 2022, the SAF-supported lawsuit challenges Illinois’ ban on carrying firearms on public transit. The state requires residents to obtain a Firearm Owners Identification Card (FOID) and a concealed carry license to lawfully carry a firearm in public. Even with both the FOID card and a carry license, however, Illinois bans carrying a firearm on “…any bus, train, or form…

Two months after an IT hiccup at the Department of Veterans Affairs left a significant portion of GI Bill recipients without their anticipated payments for school and housing, some advocates have a message for the VA: Turn the GI Bill hotline back on.Those missing payments in the wake of the rollout of a new processing system are spouses or children of veterans who have died, are missing, or have a permanent and total service-connected disability — grouped together under the VA’s Chapter 35. Up to 75,000 of these claims may be unpaid, according to Ashlynne Haycock-Lohmann, director of Government and…

Sign up for the On The Gun Newsletter The latest for gun hunters and competitive shooters. Let’s get this part out of the way first: I am not a Fudd. I own lots of rifles and shotguns with synthetic stocks, I’ve shot smart scopes, and I’ve hunted with AR-style rifles. Plus, I’m a Millennial, at least as defined by age. I know that new shooting technology is useful and has its place. But I think that those traditional, wood-stocked bolt-action rifles have their place, too.   In my opinion, that place is deer camp where tradition thrives. The gold standard here…

This article was originally published by Kevin Hughes at Natural News.  President Donald Trump denied imminent U.S. military strikes inside Venezuela, contradicting earlier claims from unnamed sources in The Miami Herald and The Wall Street Journal suggesting attacks on Venezuelan military installations were imminent (“hours or days”). Despite Trump’s denial, the U.S. has deployed significant military assets to the Caribbean, including the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier strike group, guided-missile destroyers, F-35B fighter jets, and MQ-9 Reaper drones—ostensibly targeting drug-smuggling networks linked to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s regime. While U.S. officials claim the operation focuses on narcotics, analysts speculate the real goal is…

By the time the first quote from Homer’s “Odyssey” fades from the screen — “By now, I am used to suffering. I have endured so much in waves and war” — it is clear what kind of story “In Waves and War” wants to tell. The new documentary from directors Jon Shenk and Bonni Cohen is not about the battles Navy SEALs fought overseas, but the ones they continue to face long after the shooting stops. It’s a film about endurance, recovery and what happens when the toughest people in the world have to confront pain they can no longer…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadYou’ve got your gear. You’ve got your skills. But if your mind taps out when it matters most, none of that is going to save you. That’s the truth about survival. This episode is about the part of preparedness most people gloss over—not because they’re lazy, but because they don’t even realize it’s a capability gap. And when they think about it, they often assume they’re fine. Preppers especially fall into this trap because we’ve already recognized the need to prepare. Then, when we compare that to those who don’t prep at all, it’s…

A Virginia circuit court has handed gun owners a major victory by striking down the state’s universal background check law. The ruling permanently halts enforcement across the Commonwealth, marking a landmark victory for the Second Amendment and for Gun Owners of America (GOA), Gun Owners of America Foundation (GOF), and the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL). The decision came in Wilson, et al. v. Colonel Matthew D. Hanley, where the court found Virginia Code §18.2-308.2:5 unconstitutional. The judge ruled that the law discriminated against law-abiding adults aged 18 to 20, effectively denying them their constitutional right to buy and possess…
