The suppressor-ready JP-5 PDW Package is purpose-built for compact performance.Personal defense weapons, or PDWs, were originally designed for second-line troops who needed more firepower than a pistol could provide, but didn’t want the bulk of a full-sized rifle. Compact carbines were the perfect bridge for that gap. Guns like the FN P90 submachine gun, SR-2 Veresek and the H&K MP7 are some of the early versions of military guns used in the PDW capacity.The evolution of compact firearm platforms has increasingly emphasized portability, modularity and refined shooting performance, opening up a market for civilians. Some notable PDWs that have gained traction are the Sig Sauer MPX and the Daniel Defense DDM4. And, of course, JP Enterprises‘ JP-5 PDW.Few modern systems embody the PDW shift as clearly as the JP Enterprises JP-5 PDW. When JP saw an opportunity to get into the civilian home defense market, they created the Suppressor-Ready PDW Package. Built on the company’s flagship roller-delayed platform, this configuration is designed not just as a firearm, but as a complete, low-profile system optimized for discreet carry and suppressed use.When paired with a purpose-built bag like the Eberlestock Little Trick backpack, it illustrates how modern pistol-caliber carbines (PCCs) are evolving…

Eight-time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick accused CBS of being deceitful in a 2025 interview that generated headlines when his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, appeared to shut down a question about their relationship.”I thought that the interview I had with them was done very deceptively,” the football legend said on a new episode of “Hang Out with Sean Hannity,” which will be available Tuesday morning. “I’ve asked for the transcript from them, and they won’t give it to me.”During a 2025 interview with “CBS News Sunday Morning,” Hudson said Belichick was “not talking about this” when he was asked by anchor Tony Dokoupil about how she and the New England Patriots icon met.Hudson, who was watching the interview from a side corner, reportedly interrupted several times and even stormed off at one point, delaying the interview by around 30 minutes. The interview as aired on CBS fueled much criticism directed towards Hudson.CBS DISPUTE WITH BILL BELICHICK LATEST CONTROVERSY TO HIT EMBATTLED NETWORK Belichick responded to critics by saying he agreed to speak with “CBS Sunday Morning” about his memoir “The Art of Winning — Lessons from My Life in Football” and added that it…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The Atlantic claimed on Monday that President Donald Trump has not received “the same kind of scrutiny” as former President Joe Biden regarding his age and stamina.”When Donald Trump took the oath of office last January, he was the oldest president to begin a term, clocking in at 78 years and 220 days,” Jonathan Lemire began his article titled “A Different Kind of Fading President.” “He replaced the man who formerly held that title, Joe Biden, who had dropped out of the race after it became quite obvious to the entire country that he had aged too much, too quickly.”He continued, “But as Trump himself grows older—traveling less, switching to more comfortable shoes, and seeming to nod off during meetings—his age isn’t getting the same kind of scrutiny.”CREDIBILITY CRISIS: MEDIA SCRUTINIZED TRUMP’S HEALTH, FITNESS IN FIRST TERM BEFORE TURNING BLIND EYE ON BIDEN Lemire acknowledged that the Biden administration “chided” reporters who would write about the former president’s age and suggested that the initial “background” status of Biden’s age was because of White House pushback.”Biden’s team relentlessly pushed back against worried murmurings about his age and ability to handle the responsibilities of…

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday campaigned for a Republican congressional challenger endorsed by President Donald Trump in an extremely unusual move that broke with the military’s longstanding tradition of political neutrality. Taking the stage at a rally for Ed Gallrein, Hegseth railed against Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican who has publicly feuded with Trump and is facing Gallrein in a contentious primary for Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District. Hegseth’s support has sparked online condemnation as a violation of the Hatch Act, which bans federal employees from engaging in political activity while on duty. Pentagon officials and military leaders have historically avoided overtly partisan political activity to align with the armed forces’ nonpartisan identity. Hegseth said he attended the event after awarding Purple Heart medals to soldiers but gave a perfunctory statement at the start of his speech in an attempt to distance himself from role as Defense Secretary.“I have to say upfront, for the lawyers, that I’m here in my personal capacity as a private citizen, a fellow American, and a fellow combat veteran here to support Navy Seal Ed Gallrein,” he said.Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell pushed back against accusations that Hegseth’s participation violated the neutrality of his role, arguing…

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week said he would conduct a review on supporting a bill that would give veterans — predominantly from the U.S. Air Force — the same benefits civilians have been receiving for exposure to radiation at a Nevada test site that has seen more than 900 atomic bomb tests. At a May 12 hearing of the House Appropriations Committee, Hegseth thanked Rep. Susie Lee (D-Nevada) for pushing legislation to override the Catch 22-type rules that have blocked veterans from getting the benefits received by Department of Energy civilians who also worked at the Nevada Test and Training Center (NTTR) north of Las Vegas. “You have the authority to provide the [Veterans Affairs] with documents they need today to get those veterans the help they need,” Lee told Hegseth. “Thank you for what you’re doing for those folks,” but “it’s not a situation I have all the facts on,” Hegseth told Lee, adding that he wanted an internal review before giving an endorsement. Hegseth also sought to assure Lee that he wasn’t stalling. “I’m not talking about a full review, I’m just talking about a familiarization” on the issues that have blocked the NTTR veterans from receiving…

United States forces have targeted ISIS strongholds across Africa’s Sahel in recent days, in operations coordinated with the Nigerian government. But a longer-term strategic question remains as to whether the U.S. military retains the capacity to thwart potential terror attacks emanating from the continent, given its shrinking regional footprint.U.S. Air Force Gen. Dagvin Anderson, head of U.S. Africa Command, seemed concerned that the answer might be “no” when he testified to Congress last week.Anderson said that Africa is the epicenter of global terrorism, but warned that a 75% U.S. force reduction over the past decade – coupled with a parallel drawdown of allied troops – has created “an intelligence black hole” on the continent.“AFRICOM’s lack of expeditionary capabilities and diminished force posture compromise our crisis response,” Anderson testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee, noting the command is operating with “minimum necessary resources.”“Our reduced presence on the continent also allows disruptive actors to drive the agenda, undercutting American interests,” he said. “ISIS leadership is [in] Africa. Al-Qaeda’s economic engine is in Africa. Both of these groups share the will and intent to strike our homeland.”Asked whether his command is capable of disrupting such threats, Anderson gave a circumspect response. “That…
