In August 2014, I was serving as a colonel at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait, as part of a joint forces land component command that was the precursor to Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve. From the Third Army operations center, we coordinated humanitarian airdrops out of Qatar as Daesh forces surrounded Mount Sinjar, trapping over 40,000 Yazidi civilians on a barren mountaintop. What followed was not just another military operation. It was proof that “never again” need not remain an empty promise.Claire Barrett’s recent Military Times article “The etymology of genocide and the myth of ‘never again’” reminds us that naming…

The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks is warning hunters about a fake social media post that was made on an imposter page, and which announced that baiting would be allowed on all public lands during the 2025/2026 hunting season. In a news alert shared to Facebook Tuesday, the real MDWFP denounced this information as false, and said that any announcements regarding hunting regulations would be issued through the agency’s official social media accounts and other verified channels.

This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News.  The machines are coming. And when they do, none of your petty divisions will matter. Right now, the globalists, the warmongers, and the techno-fascists are laughing at you. They’ve got you fighting over race, religion, borders, and skin color—while they build the Terminator Army that will hunt us all. But here’s the ironic twist: When the AI Superintelligence (ASI) unleashes its robot legions—when the kamikaze drones swarm the skies, when the Terminator bots kick in doors, and when the killer robot dogs sniff out human heat signatures like prey—all…

The U.S. Army’s new plan to become a leaner, more modern force may actually undercut combat readiness, warns a congressional watchdog. The Army Transformation Initiative, or ATI, could affect “the availability of Army forces to support Combatant Command requirements and the effectiveness of Army ground operations, as well as the effectiveness of ATI-proposed changes to existing headquarters units,” according to a report by the Congressional Research Service, or CRS, which is Congress’ in-house think tank.The specifics of ATI have yet to be finalized in the wake of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s April directive that called for transforming the Army “at…

Choosing the right suppressor material can dramatically impact your shooting experience. The three primary materials used in modern suppressor construction—steel, titanium, and aluminum—each offer distinct advantages and trade-offs that directly affect performance, durability, and cost. Understanding these differences is essential for shooters seeking the perfect balance of noise reduction, weight considerations, and long-term reliability. The Foundation of Suppressor Performance Suppressor materials determine far more than just weight and price. The material choice affects heat dissipation, corrosion resistance, structural integrity under rapid fire, and overall longevity. Each material responds differently to the extreme conditions inside a suppressor, where temperatures can exceed…

Two helicopters faced off against an F-15D Eagle fighter aircraft above water in an unprecedented combat defense test conducted by the Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve and U.S. Navy. The test saw an HH-60W Jolly Green and an HH-60G Pave Hawk defend against attacks by an F-15D in a maritime setting. The attacks were staged to simulate real-world scenarios in which U.S. rescue helicopters were fired upon at sea. “The HH-60W has never undergone this type of evaluation. This test data will help us determine how effective U.S. countermeasures are against fighter aircraft over water,” U.S. Air Force Lt.…

Health authorities in Ukraine have reimposed COVID-19 mask mandates at a hospital after reporting a spike in new cases of the “Nimbus” and “Stratus” strains of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. “Since the beginning of August, almost half a thousand cases of the disease have been officially confirmed in the region,”  head of the Rovno regional council, Andrey Karaush, announced.

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadA while back, I asked the Mind4Survival community to hit me with their biggest SHTF questions. These are the real concerns people have about what happens when systems fail and the normal rules don’t apply. These are my answers to the questions people asked about their real-world SHTF concerns. No fluff. Just practical insight based on my experience and understanding. And, because this is based on my perspective, I want to be challenged by your perspective.

One would think that the AK platform has been around long enough that there’s not much that needs to be done with it. One would be wrong. Despite the “Nyet! Rifle is fine!” crowd, there’s still room for improvement. Xtech Tactical does just that with their MAG47 magazines. Why Do I Need Another AK Mag? I know, there are probably a literal billion AK mags out there, and most of them probably work fine. Many of them are also quite affordable. So why do we need a new AK mag? Well, how about reliability, quality manufacture, and an American-made product?…

The United States defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, recently shared a video in which several pastors say women should no longer be allowed to vote.  The high-level ruler made sure to repost the video shamelessly, in which a Christian nationalist said, “I would like to see this nation being a Christian nation.” Hegseth reposted the nearly seven-minute report with the caption: “All of Christ for All of Life.” Doug Wilson, a Christian nationalist who co-founded the Idaho-based Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), has been promoting misogynistic ideas and gender roles, as he claims that’s what the Bible tells him to…

This article, “Arrow for a Grizzly,” was first published in one of my favorite issues of Outdoor Life: October 1957. It’s a historic story, and not just because it was written by Fred Bear, or because it was about a true safari-style horseback expedition into the Yukon — although those certainly don’t hurt. It’s a look into a key time when Bear was developing the now-legendary Razorhead broadhead. This was the first grizzly Fred Bear ever killed, and the hunt was…

The Fletcher-class destroyer O’Bannon, known as the “Lucky O,” had an illustrious World War II career, becoming the most decorated U.S. Navy destroyer of the war for its participation in protecting “The Slot.”The Slot was a narrow sea lane through the Solomon Islands, of which U.S. naval forces violently battled the Japanese Combined Fleet for control. For their efforts, the destroyer and its crew earned 17 battle stars and a Presidential Unit Citation. The ship also became, perhaps, the first and last to sink an enemy submarine through the ingenious use of potatoes — allegedly.April 5, 1943While patrolling The Slot…

President Donald Trump this week claimed that trust scores for patients in the Veterans Affairs health care system have risen dramatically since he returned to office in January, but department data doesn’t back up his claim. During an Oval Office event with military families on Monday, Trump praised the work of VA Secretary Doug Collins thus far, asserting that the department now has a “93% approval rating” under his leadership. “We had a great first term and it was pretty close to that then,” he said. “And then [President Joe Biden’s administration] took over and it went down into the…

Israel’s strikes on the Gaza hospital have killed five journalists. A total of twenty people were killed on Monday in an Israeli “double tap” airstrike on Nasser Hospital, the largest medical facility in the southern Gaza Strip. This so-called “double tap” attack occurred in two steps, with the second wave of strikes hitting first responders and reporters at the scene. The second strike was also captured by an extremely graphic livestream by Jordan-based Alghad TV. The munition directly hit people gathered on an external stairwell of the hospital, frequently used by media to film views across the Khan Younis area in…

When a state is sued over the constitutionality of a law, the state’s attorney general is usually responsible for defending the state against the charges in court. However, things in Florida can get a bit topsy-turvy at times. In a somewhat strange turn of events, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear a case challenging the state’s ban on firearms purchases by adults who are 18, 19, and 20 years of age. But according to a story at gulfcoastnewsnow.com, rather than wanting the court to uphold the law, Uthmeier wants the law overturned. The…

Jacob Suenkel, of Richmond Hill, Georgia, stole the equipment between late 2024 to May 2025 while serving at the post, according to prosecutors.
