Two out of three Americans think President Donald Trump has not clearly explained why the country went to war with Iran, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll completed on Monday that also showed his approval rating ticking up from the lowest level of his term.The four-day poll revealed deep concerns about surging gasoline prices, and also suggested many voters are casting blame for their troubles on Trump’s Republican allies who will be defending their congressional majorities in the November midterm elections.More than two months into a conflict that began February 28 with a U.S.-Israeli bombing campaign, some 66% of poll respondents — including one in three Republicans and almost all Democrats — said Trump has not “clearly explained the goals of U.S. military involvement in Iran.”The war, which cooled in recent weeks as both sides floated peace proposals, has driven a roughly 50% increase in gasoline prices across the country. Iran shut down a fifth of the global oil trade by effectively closing the Strait of Hormuz — despite efforts by U.S. warships to re-open the waterway for oil tankers.Household finances take hitSome 63% of the country say their household’s personal financial situation has taken a hit from recent gas price…

I hit the range to test out a Glock Gen 6 G17 ORS, and I found out it’s the best Glock generation yet, but has one glaring flaw.Glock has been the gold standard duty pistol for generations. From world champions to tier 1 operators, Glock is the trusted name that everyone defaults to. Now we’re hands-on with the brand-new sixth generation, and, spoiler alert: for the second time in a row Glock can’t figure out how to deliver an optics system worthy of their name. There is a lot to like about the sixth generation of Glock — the grip texture, the palm swells, the more comfortable ergonomics. Setting aside the optics for now, this is my favorite generation of Glock pistol and the only generation that hasn’t met a Dremel within an hour of being in the house.Glock Gen 6 G17 ORS Specs:Caliber: 9mmCapacity: 17Length (Overall): 7.95 inchesBarrel Length: 4.5 inchesWidth: 1.34 inchesMSRP: $745 Build Accessories: Glock Gen 6 ChangesGen 6 is without doubt the most different Glock generation to date, with external and internal changes. Some of these matter a lot more than others. Important changes include:Redesigned grip that offers both a new texture and a new shape featuring small…

United States President Donald Trump is vowing to take Iran’s enriched uranium, just a few days after seizing Venezuela’s. Trump said that the US will get hold of Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium “at some point,” repeating one of his key demands in peace talks. In an interview aired on Sunday, journalist Sharyl Attkisson asked Trump what stage the war with the Islamic Republic had reached, considering that the US has yet to secure Iran’s fissile material, accoridng to a report by RT.  “Well, we’ll get that at some point, whatever we want,” he said. “We have it surveilled, you know, I did a thing called Space Force… If anybody got near the place, we will know about it.

The Marine Corps is moving deeper into Alaska with an initiative designed to build a more persistent presence in the Arctic and prepare service members for extreme cold-weather operations. The effort, called “Campaign – Alaska,” will establish a new rotating force that will train and experiment in the frigid conditions, the Corps announced Saturday, in a move it said was a result of the region’s increasing geopolitical importance. “In this era of strategic competition, Alaska is critical to homeland defense and a vital theater for global power projection in the Arctic,” said Lt. Gen. Roberta “Bobbi” Shea, the commanding general of the Marine Forces Northern Command. “The Marine Corps Campaign – Alaska is a deliberate and necessary step to ensure we provide the Joint Force with a combat-credible force to support the National Defense Strategy,” she said in a statement. The new rotational force is aligned with the Pentagon’s 2026 National Defense Strategy, the service said, which focuses on the Western Hemisphere as key to homeland defense.The campaign will establish the Marine Rotational Force — Alaska, or MRF — Alaska, and a permanent Supporting Arms Liaison Team — Alaska, known as SALT — Alaska.The service did not say where the…

President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in separate interviews over the weekend, made it clear that the war in Iran is not over. The Trump administration formally declared Operation Epic Fury “terminated” and submitted official notification of its end to Congress on May 1. But the president cautioned that this procedural conclusion didn’t mean a definitive cessation to all military actions.“No, I didn’t say that,” Trump insisted during an interview with “Full Measure” when asked if combat operations are over. He emphasized that while Iran had been “defeated,” this did not mean that U.S. operations “are done.”Trump estimated that roughly 70% of America’s targets inside the Islamic Republic had been hit.“We could go in for two more weeks and do every single target,” he mused. “We have other targets that we could conceivably hit. But even if we didn’t do that, that would just be final touches. Even if we didn’t do that, it would take them many years to rebuild.” Speaking with reporters at the White House on Monday morning, Trump lambasted the latest Iranian proposal to end the 10-week conflict, calling it a “piece of garbage.” The president added that the month-long ceasefire was “on…

One American has officially tested “mildly positive” for Hantavirus. The United States Department of Health and Human Services claimed that it was one of the 17 Americans being repatriated from a hantavirus-struck cruise ship had tested mildly positive. Seven cases of the Andes hantavirus have now been confirmed among passengers on board the cruise ship, MV Hondius, the World Health Organization said. Symptoms of Hantavirus can include fever, extreme fatigue, muscle aches, stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and shortness of breath, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  Another potentially serious disease caused by hantaviruses is hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), primarily found in Europe and Asia. However, Seoul virus, a hantavirus that causes HFRS, is found worldwide, including in the United States.
