As the Iran war intensifies, the United States ruling class, headed by Donald Trump, refuses to rule out a military draft. White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said that Trump “keeps his options on the table” when asked about the possibility of conscription. Why Military Conscription Is Worse Than Slavery The White House’s Rapid Response team denied plans for a draft, writing on X of Leavitt, “She didn’t say anything close to this. You just made it up.” Technically, she did not say that there were plans for a draft, but she did say that the ruling class won’t rule it out either. That’s fairly ambiguous and can be left open to interpretation based on how one feels about the current ruler in charge. Trump, along with Israel, attacked Iran on February 28th, killing the supreme leader Ali Khamenei. Iran has retaliated for the death and the airstrikes. In a Saturday, March 7th post on Truth Social, Trump said Iran was “being beat to hell.” On March 8th,  Leavitt said that, for the moment, the strikes against Iran “will continue to be” focused on an air campaign. “President Trump wisely does not remove options off of the table. I know a lot…

Mahomes’ attorney confirmed the additional 24 months to CBS 19 News. The 55-year-old has already served an estimated 24 months of his probation sentence.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The Justice Department says it is speeding up settlement offers for people exposed to contaminated drinking water at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, under a compensation program created by Congress in 2022.The law, formally titled the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act of 2022, includes the Camp Lejeune Justice Act.The statute allows service members, their families, and others who lived or worked at the base between 1953 and 1987 to seek compensation if they developed cancer or other illnesses tied to the water supply on the base. Between 1953 and 1987, three of the base’s eight water systems contained contaminated water.POISONED PROMISES: CAMP LEJEUNE FAMILIES STILL WAIT FOR JUSTICE DECADES AFTER TOXIC WATER SCANDAL The Justice Department and the Department of the Navy launched the “Elective Option” settlement program in 2023.

Days before the U.S. military unleashed Operation Epic Fury against Iran, the second highest-ranking military officer was touring a new 30,000-square-foot child development center for military children in Arlington, Virginia, and praising the new effort to quickly meet military families’ needs amidst the persistent shortage of child care. The center – and two others like it in the pilot program under contract with the nonprofit Armed Services YMCA – are being opened with “lightning speed,” said Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Christopher J. Mahoney, at a ribbon cutting ceremony for the center, expected to open by the end of March. The power of the partnership between Armed Services YMCA and the Defense Department helps empower military families, increasing readiness and resilience, he said. The Arlington center encompasses the third floor of the St. Athanasius Coptic Orthodox Church, located in a civilian area a few minutes from Fort Myer and the Pentagon. It was built out to meet the requirements of the Defense Department, including special ramps on either side of the building to facilitate the evacuation of mobile cribs and buggies. The first center in the pilot program opened in Norfolk in May 2025 and is…

Christian nationalism has been on full display, culminating with the murder of Charlie Kirk last year. Religious freedom groups are now receiving complaints that the Christian Nationalist ruling class has told soldiers that the war with Iran is “all part of God’s divine plan.” JD Vance Doubles Down On Christian Nationalism Psyop Continues: Christian Nationalism on the Rise Freedom of religion and freedom from religion are both important if we expect to have a free society. People cannot and should not be expected to live under religious seclusion, especially if they aren’t harming anyone else. However, U.S. military commanders have been invoking extremist Christian rhetoric about biblical “end times” to justify involvement in the Iran war to troops, according to complaints made to a watchdog group. According to a report by The Guardian, over 200 troops from all branches of the military have logged complaints about the religious rhetoric being used to justify a war. One complainant, identified as a noncommissioned officer (NCO) in a unit that could be deployed “at any moment to join” operations against Iran, told The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) in a complaint viewed by the Guardian that their commander had “urged us to tell our troops…

NEW DELHI — Two Iranian warships have docked in India and Sri Lanka after a U.S. submarine torpedoed an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean just off Sri Lanka’s coast last week.The sinking of the Iris Dena on March 4th was the first military strike outside the Middle East since the war began, and analysts say it raised concerns that the U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran could widen beyond the Persian Gulf if it drags on.It also became a diplomatic embarrassment for New Delhi, which had hosted the sunken vessel for peacetime multilateral naval drills.All three Iranian ships — the two vessels that are now in India and Sri Lanka as well as the torpedoed ship — were sailing in the Indian Ocean after participating in the exercises along India’s east coast.The South Asian countries have called their decision to permit the ships to enter their ports a “humanitarian” gesture.Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar told parliament Monday the Iranian ship Iris Lavan sailed into the southern port of Kochi last week after it reported a technical problem. Its crew, mostly young cadets, have been housed at Indian naval facilities.He said that the government believed “it was the right thing to…

Improving your Kalashnikov’s trigger with the Geissele AK-X.One thing AK shooters and admirers will never stop talking about is durability.Well, duh. The AK-47 was designed to be used by peasants; simple and strong were built-in.So was the crappy trigger.If you want to keep the peasants from accidentally shooting each other while assaulting the fascist positions on the Eastern Front (did the Soviets call it the Western Front?), you give them a trigger with a lot of travel.A lot.That runs counter to the way we in the West viewed rifles—something you use by aiming and pressing off a shot.What to do?Just ask Bill Geissele. He can solve the problem.The Geissele AK-X comes complete. And because it’s a packet trigger, assembly is simply a detail strip and then replacing the AK trigger parts with a packet.What Geissele did was take the packet system that has proven so popular in the AR-15 world and built it for the AK-47. (And the AK-74 as well, just in case you were wondering.)It’s an entirely self-contained set of parts, and since the locations of the hammer and sear are controlled by the packet, the dimensions of your AK receiver don’t enter into it. As long as…
