Circumnavigating the suppressor world is a tough road to travel. Which is why CANCON has become such an invaluable asset to this niche in the firearms world. The world’s largest fully suppressed range day evolved into an important gateway to the fastest-growing firearms accessory on the market. And in its second year at the Clinton Plantation House in Clinton, South Carolina, it was an absolute quiet riot of hushed-up shooting. More shooters than ever before learned about, perused, and — most importantly — shot some of the best suppressors available today. But going hands-on with the latest and greatest quiet pipes was only one of the attractions at the keystone event. Vietnam-era attack helicopter, top-end tactical knives, survival classes, and shooting competitions against seasoned veterans — CANCON had something for everyone. Here’s a look at the extravaganza. VIP DAY Suppressors are the main attraction for most at CANCON, but those familiar with the event make sure to attend as VIPs. This status grants them early entry, first access to the range, and what is widely regarded as one of the most generous gift bags in the industry. No kidding, the gift bag has become a highlight for attendees. This year,…
President Donald Trump on Thursday drew a parallel between U.S. strikes on Iran and Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor decades ago, as he defended the war against Tehran at a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi in Washington.“We wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?” Trump said when a journalist asked why he had not told allies about his war plans.“You believe in surprise, I think much more so than us.”Takaichi’s eyes widened, and she shifted in her chair as Trump, seated beside her in the Oval Office, evoked the moment that drew the U.S. into the Second World War.The Japanese attack on the U.S. naval base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on Dec. 7, 1941, killed 2,390 Americans, and the U.S. declared war on Japan the next day.U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt called it “a date which will live in infamy.”The U.S. defeated Japan in August 1945, days after U.S. atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed hundreds of thousands of civilians.

The United States is dramatically underestimating the financial cost of the Iran war. The ruling class has to know that it’s lying to the American taxpayer, the people tasked with actually bearing the cost of war started by power-hungry sociopaths. The Intercept has warned that the cost of this war with Iran could balloon into the trillions of dollars over the long term, pushing many Americans past the breaking point. Affordability Crisis Worsens As 2026 Approaches At the very least, the rulers are claiming that the war is burning through between $1 billion and $2 billion per day, or roughly $11,500 to $23,000 per second. The cost, the officials told The Intercept, could rise to a quarter trillion dollars or more over the coming months. The US military budget, the world’s largest, surpassed $830 billion for fiscal year 2026. President Donald Trump has boasted that the regime-change campaign in Tehran could be waged “forever” using the Pentagon’s current munition stockpiles, though skeptics say weapons depletion is a major issue. -RT The Pentagon recently asked for only $200 billion to cover the costs of the war; however, that seems like a vast underestimate, and even at that, it has the potential to destroy…

U.S. Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft are now engaged in maritime interdiction operations along the southern flank of Operation Epic Fury, targeting Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fast-attack watercraft in the Strait of Hormuz, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Thursday.“The A-10 Warthog is now engaged across the southern flank, targeting fast-attack watercraft in the Strait of Hormuz,” Air Force Gen. Dan Caine said during a Pentagon briefing on the operation. The announcement marks an expansion of the Warthog’s confirmed role in Epic Fury. On March 15, U.S. Central Command released imagery of A-10C Thunderbolt IIs receiving fuel in flight while supporting the operation, the first official visuals of the aircraft in the campaign. “The A-10 Thunderbolt II can loiter for hours, standing by and ready to execute a mission whenever needed,” CENTCOM said in the accompanying post on X.Designed for close air support, the A-10 was built to fly low, slow and close to the fight, providing direct fire support to ground forces and, increasingly, to joint forces operating in contested littoral environments. Its titanium-armored cockpit, often referred to as a “titanium bathtub,” and redundant flight systems allow it to absorb significant punishment and continue…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Bob Barker, longtime host of “The Price Is Right,” allegedly went through some major personality changes after the death of his wife, Dorothy Jo Gideon, in 1982. In E!’s documentary series “Dirty Rotten Scandals,” those closest to Barker at the time opened up about the sudden shift in attitude and the mental health challenges the TV personality experienced amid his grief. “{Bob and Dorothy Jo] went to Hawaii in August and she was diagnosed with lung cancer and died two months later,” Barbara Hunter, a former producer on the game show, said in the episode. “Bob really went into a funk after that. He was ready to take his own life. That’s what he shared with me.”FORMER ‘PRICE IS RIGHT’ MODEL EXPOSES DARK TRUTH ABOUT BOB BARKER ERA “He went through a lot of changes,” Holly Hallstrom, a former model who showcased prizes as one of “Barker’s Beauties,” told Fox News Digital ahead of the premiere. “At first, he was grieving, so that was a big change. It was very somber on the set, much more somber. But then, after that, it just became like you were living in Barkerland, where he was the…
Two new pistols from Shadow Systems that share a lot of DNA, but shoot very differently. What is better, more barrel or less muzzle flip? The choice is personal, but with the CR920XL and CR920XP you’re getting a lot of gun in a small package. SHADOW SYSTEMS CR920XL/XP SPECS Action: Semi-Auto Caliber: 9mm Luger Capacity: 15 Barrel Length: 4.18″ (XL), 3.65” (XP) Barrel Description: Match Grade, Spiral Fluted Barrel Finish: Burnt Bronze Optic Ready: Yes – multi-footprint mounting Sights: Green Tritium Front, Black Rear Frame Description: Textured polymer, slim/compact Overall Length: 7.45″ Weight(Unloaded): 19.5oz JUST THE FACTS Most people look at Shadow Systems and just see another Glock clone, and that’s not entirely wrong, but it’s not the whole picture either. While nominally based on the G43/X, the CR920 series is its own animal with substantial improvements. First, for the CR920X/XL/XP, the magazine is 15-rounds to Glock’s 10. Downside: these mags are proprietary. $30 a mag isn’t prohibitive, but it’s not cheap either. Good news is that these mags are very high quality. They load easy, hold the number of rounds they claim, steel body, drop-free, and have given me zero issues. Second, Shadow Systems has a patented optics mounting…
Shigeaki Mori, an atomic bomb survivor who spent decades researching the forgotten American prisoners of war killed in the Hiroshima attack, has died at age 88.The historian died on March 14 at a Hiroshima hospital, according to Japanese media reports. Mori was just eight years old when the B-29 carrying the earth shattering “Little Boy” bomb dropped on the city. Less than a mile and a half from the center of the blast, Mori was thrown into a nearby stream that protected him from the firestorm that followed. “I found myself inside the mushroom cloud,” Mori would later write. “It was so dark that when I held my hands up about 10 centimeters in front of my face, I couldn’t see them.”In the ensuing days, Mori scavenged for food and water but only found piles of charred bodies instead. When he did find water, it was poisoned with radiation. Unknowingly, Mori drank it anyway.As a young man, Mori worked at a brokerage house and, later, at a piano manufacturer. “But I’d always wanted to be a historian,” he told The New York Times in 2016.And so the budding historian began spending his weekends researching the aftermath of the Aug. 6,…
