Before we begin, let’s just address the elephant in the room. What is “long-range” with a pistol, especially in a caliber like .380? That is a fair question, so let’s just start with the simple fact it is FUN to see how far we can go, to push our skills and develop our technique for shooting accurate/tight groups at appropriate distances. At 200 yards, a .380 ACP pistol is well outside what most shooters ever attempt. The author demonstrates that it is possible with the right pistol and ammo. While we all have different definitions of what “fun” is, for me it’s not mag dumping at five yards, even if that is an appropriate target-engagement distance backed by statistical data. I can lunge forward and engage a target in seconds at that distance — not to mention put all rounds center mass as fast as I can pull the trigger. Most folks that practice at all can do the same. The Question The farther back we go, the more difficult it becomes. Those that want to argue about what is too far to engage a target usually fail to ask “why” it becomes exponentially more difficult the farther back we…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A Houston meteorologist said she was fired from KRPC-TV last week after a viral Instagram post in which she criticized the station, complained that traffic reporting had been overlooked for Emmy Awards and accused the newsroom of tolerating poor workplace standards.”No longer with KPRC — and for that, I’m truly grateful.

As the Army contends with a shortage of ships to carry troops and supplies in the Pacific, it’s pressing contract vessels into service – and looking to a future in which dozens of heavy-duty autonomous watercraft take on a significant portion of the task.The Army’s little-known fleet of watercraft included about 70 Pacific-based vessels in 2024, down from 134 in 2018. According to a Government Accountability Office report published two years ago, the mission-capable rate of the remaining vessels has sharply declined, from more than 70% in 2020 to less than 40% in 2024.In a roundtable with reporters this month, Maj. Gen. Gavin Gardner, commander of the Hawaii-based 8th Theater Sustainment Command, said the command had requested that industry deliver an autonomous vessel for testing as early as next summer, in hopes of rapidly building a fleet of 30 to 100 drone boats.While the Army considered divesting its fleet around 2019, it has since reversed course, making key moves in recent years to build up both vessels and personnel to man them. In 2024, the service activated its first new composite watercraft company in years, the 5th Transportation Company out of Yokohama, Japan.And just this year, 8th TSC’s lone Maneuver…

This article was originally published by Morgan S. Verity at Natural News.  The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 7-2 on Thursday, June 25, that federal pesticide law bars state failure-to-warn claims against Bayer’s Roundup weedkiller – a decision expected to throw out thousands of lawsuits alleging the product causes cancer. In the majority opinion, Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote that the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) preempts state law claims because the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved the product’s label without a cancer warning, according to the ruling. [1] [2] The case centered on Missouri resident John Durnell, who developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma after using Roundup for decades. A jury had awarded him $1.25 million, but the company appealed. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, joined by Justice Neil Gorsuch, dissented, arguing that Monsanto could have added a warning without violating federal law. The court’s decision effectively removes the core legal theory behind tens of thousands of pending lawsuits. [3] [4] Background: Decades of Litigation and Regulatory Conflict Bayer acquired Monsanto, the original maker of Roundup, in 2018 for $63 billion and has since faced more than 200,000 claims from users who say the weedkiller caused their cancer. The World Health Organization‘s International Agency for Research on Cancer classified glyphosate,…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Federal investigators are reportedly probing nonprofits linked to California first lady Jennifer Siebel Newsom, putting renewed scrutiny on two organizations that conservative watchdogs and media reports have criticized over alleged conflicts of interest tied to their proximity to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s political orbit.Newsom has accused President Donald Trump’s Justice Department of launching a politically motivated “fishing expedition” against him and his wife, but the DOJ has not publicly confirmed any probe. The reported inquiries have revived questions about The Representation Project and California Partners Project, two nonprofits connected to Siebel Newsom that have received donations from corporations, tribes and other entities with interests before California state government. While Newsom has cast the purported investigation as a political witch hunt, the DOJ has yet to publicly confirm that a probe is even taking place, though internal sources speaking to media outlets have confirmed as much. Most recently, a source speaking to the California Post claimed that the FBI was looking into Siebel Newsom’s taxes. “The sheer amount of cash, combined with the nature and timing of government activity, is eye-catching — especially when unexpected windfalls are benefiting the contributors,” Americans for Public Trust executive director…

This article was originally published by Amirhossein Eshtiaghi at The Mises Institute.  Bernie Sanders is a socialist populist. His unfamiliarity with the fundamentals of economics explains why he considers Denmark to be socialist. A former Danish Prime Minister once implicitly addressed such claims, noting that Denmark’s economy is not socialist, but rather a market economy. But the truth does not matter to American leftists. He has now made headlines again with a bill that would expand state participation in the AI sector—a plan that, contrary to the claims of his supporters, could have disastrous consequences. In the following, these consequences are briefly examined. This Is a Fascist Policy Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, after the Soviet Union, were among the countries with the highest levels of state ownership and state control over the economy. In both Germany and Italy, the state controlled many companies, while private firms operated under strict state supervision and intervention. The Nazis nationalized nearly half of the economy and then used extensive regulations to bring the private sector under state control. Mussolini followed a similar approach. The state determined what goods would be produced, how they would be produced, and in what form they would be supplied. Sanders says…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A routine heart test may be hiding a warning sign that doctors have missed for years. That is the big takeaway from new UC Berkeley research published in Nature. Researchers trained an artificial intelligence model to study ECGs, also called EKGs, and look for patterns tied to sudden cardiac death.This is the scary part. Sudden cardiac arrest can strike people with known heart problems. However, it can also hit younger athletes and people who never knew they were at risk.Each year, hundreds of thousands of Americans die after cardiac arrest. Once it happens outside a hospital, survival can drop fast. CPR and a defibrillator can save lives, but timing is everything.Now, AI may help doctors spot some patients earlier, while their hearts still look normal by today’s common tests.Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox.For simple, real-world ways to spot scams early and stay protected, visit CyberGuy.com – trusted by millions who watch CyberGuy on TV daily.Plus, you’ll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide free when you join.DIABETES DRUG COULD SLASH RISK OF FATAL HEART CONDITION IN ONE…
