West Virginia is arguably the most gun-friendly state for a reason; guns outnumber people here by a considerable margin. West Virginia University’s football team may struggle, but its rifle team certainly doesn’t. It should come as no surprise that Douglas Barrels, which has produced barrels for American Olympians and American snipers from Vietnam to GWOT, has been a quiet giant here for decades. Douglas Barrels was founded in 1948. In the beginning, the company played the field based on personal knowledge and uniform service experience. From the outset, the core concept was to provide the best barrels made to the most demanding standards that would meet or exceed the most exacting specifications. To this day, Douglas maintains that standard. Douglas Barrels is not outwardly flashy. From the road, you might not even know you’re in the right place. There are no big signs. It is innocuous.  Raw steel bars awaiting their turn through the production process. The first step after QC is cutting to rough length on the bandsaw. Once inside, you are transported back in time. A German gunsmith would be right at home here. Many of the machines date to the 1940s. Pratt and Whitey, the same company…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Senate hopeful James Talarico is on the defensive after remarks resurfaced in which he lavished praise on Texas drag queens as “some of the best” in the country.Talarico, the Democrats’ nominee in Texas’ hotly contested Senate race, made the comment in May 2023 while criticizing a bill in the state legislature banning “sexually oriented performances” on public property and in the presence of minors — a measure that would have likely restricted some drag shows.He voted “present” on the legislation at the urging of the Texas House LGBTQ Caucus after language explicitly referencing drag performers was stripped from an earlier version, arguing the revised bill would better protect their performances.”I think Texas is obviously the best state in the nation and I think we produce some of the best drag queens in the nation,” Talarico told The Texas Newsroom. “And I didn’t want any legislation to target them or hurt that industry.” TALARICO SAYS HE ‘HATES CHRISTIANITY’ IN UNEARTHED INTERVIEW WITH TRANSGENDER ‘LATINX’ THEOLOGIANTalarico, a 37-year-old state legislator and seminarian, has repeatedly sparked controversy over past remarks on Christianity and gender issues in which he argued, “God is nonbinary,” claimed there are…

There are many types of vehicle owners: urban road commuters who rack up miles going to and from work and running errands, overlanders whose time is spent driving to conquer mountains and valleys, and then those of us who fit somewhere in between. Many of us live and work in areas connected by a labyrinth of paved roads and highways but also relish the opportunity to get away from congestion, power lines, and people.  Inside this middle ground lies the challenge of finding a vehicle that can both be a daily driver, but is also capable of heading out to places unknown at a moment’s notice. Recreational vehicles and campers are pre-built and fun but lack versatility. Van and bus buildouts are always cool but can be costly and lack some of the utility aspects. DESIGN AND BUILD  The best way to do what’s right for you is customize it. Outfitting a 2024 Toyota Tundra allows day-to-day travel, while offering the ability to quickly escape off to adventures. One doesn’t have to dig too deeply to find countless options — overland vehicles can be built up and tricked out seemingly to no end, limited only by your imagination and budget. …

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has launched a formal inquiry after two members of the Tennessee National Guard shot and killed a civilian shortly before 4 a.m. Sunday. According to the Memphis Police, as officers responded to a shots-fired call in the early hours of July 5 they observed an armed man carrying a handgun fleeing the scene. Tennessee National Guard soldiers on assignment as part of the Memphis Safe Task Force joined the foot pursuit.Twenty-year-old Tyrin Johnson, a civilian, allegedly turned his weapon on the soldiers, prompting the guardsmen to open fire. Johnson was pronounced dead at the scene.No officers or soldiers were injured in the incident. It is now being investigated by the TBI, which noted that the office “acts solely as fact-finders in its cases and does not determine whether the actions of an officer were justified in these types of matters. That decision rests with the District Attorney General requesting TBI’s involvement.”Tennessee National Guardsmen have been deployed to Memphis since October 2025. Republican Gov. Bill Lee approved the deployment despite the fact that Democratic Mayor Paul Young never requested the Guard come to Memphis. Young later said he wanted the task force to focus on targeting…

The news was almost predictable. For yet another year, auditors have found that America’s new weapons aren’t being delivered on time. “DOD plans to invest over $2.4 trillion to develop and acquire its costliest weapon programs,” according to the Government Accountability Office’s 2026 annual report on major defense acquisition programs, or MDAP. “Schedule delays persisted across MDAPs, signaling overly optimistic time frames,” according to the GAO report, which examined 104 of the Pentagon’s most expensive weapons programs. “The overall average time frame to deliver a capability increased this year to over 12 years. Further, several MDAPs have not set new delivery dates or are delaying critical interim milestones.“By keeping delivery dates static, these programs raise questions about how realistic their estimates are. This means the 12-year average will likely increase in the future.” If that sounds familiar, the 2025 annual report found that the DOD “continues to struggle with delivering innovative technologies quickly and within budget.” However, the 2025 study seemed particularly concerned by rising costs of weapons due to inflation in the U.S. economy. In that regard, the 2026 analysis revealed a mixed price picture, with 46 of 72 programs reporting increases totaling $122 billion, and 16 reporting decreases…

According to NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) Administrator Jared Isaacman, the United States is “very much in a space race” with China. Both countries are hoping to land humans on the moon soon and establish permanent military bases there. During an interview with ‘Face the Nation’ on CBS on Sunday, Isaacman stressed that the Chinese “will land their taikonauts on the Moon – there’s no question.” Beijing’s lunar program is “moving at incredible speeds,” he added. VP Pence Unveils Trump’s Space Force; Will Cost $8 Billion Over 5 Years “The question is – will the US return before them and will we do so in a different way this time? Will we build the base, establish that enduring presence? I think the answer is yes,” the NASA chief said. Isaacman added that the American and Chinese timelines for putting humans on the Moon are very close to each other. “They are thinking in 2029, we’re saying end of 2028 is when we’re targeting the landing. That’s months, not years,” he explained. NASA also has plans to build a base on the moon, creating what will likely be a permanent military post in space, although he did not specifically say that it would be used…
