When the American Expeditionary Forces joined the Allied armies on the Western Front in World War I, there was one condition upon which their commander, Gen. John Pershing, insisted. He wanted the AEF to fight as an army, not a collection of separated units scattered among the Allied armies. For the most part, he got his way by the time the United States’ First Army was launched against the Germans at Saint-Mihiel in September 1918. There were, nevertheless, a handful of American divisions that were “loaned” among the French, the British and the Australians, leaving their partners a general impression of naïve green soldiers capable of learning fast. Among those fast learners was Sgt. Reidar Waaler of Company A, 105th Machine-Gun Battalion, 27th Division, who entered the fray at Le Hamel on July 4, 1918.Waaler’s peripatetic life story began on Feb. 12, 1894, with his birth in the Norwegian suburb of Oslo. A few years later, his family moved to resettle in New York City. Waaler had enlisted in the 27th Division, a New York National Guard unit, and had risen in rank to sergeant by the time his activated division was shipped overseas. At Le Hamel the 27th and…

Want to get better at handling the hard hitters? Here are six ways to reduce felt recoil from the bench.When we shoot from a bench rest, we’re usually sighting in a rifle or testing ammunition. When doing either, it’s important to get the best shot to shot results we can. The problem is that sustained recoil can negatively impact not only your shooting but also your enjoyment. There are some ways you can mitigate felt recoil when shooting from a bench rest, and these techniques become very important when you crawl behind a hard-kicking rifle.The general consensus among firearms trainers is that most experienced adult shooters can withstand about 20 shots from a bench rest with a .30-06 Springfield rifle without experiencing excessive discomfort or a negative impact on accuracy and precision. The amount of free recoil energy the average .30-06 rifle with a scope will generate is right at about 20 foot-pounds. Of course, some rifles recoil much harder. A .338 Winchester Magnum can generate almost twice as much free recoil energy.But it’s not always about free recoil energy.Due to the configuration of some rifles and their lack of a soft butt pad, even lighter recoiling rifles can be…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Former daytime talk show host Maury Povich laughed at former MSNBC host Joy Reid’s suggestion Monday that Senate Democrats “play by the rules” and don’t “play politics” like Republicans.On the “On Par with Maury Povich” podcast, Povich remarked that if the Democratic Party were to regain control of the Senate after the 2026 midterm elections, they would effectively stop any chance of President Donald Trump appointing another Supreme Court justice, similar to how Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., held up then-President Barack Obama from appointing a replacement after Justice Antonin Scalia’s death in 2016.Reid argued otherwise, insisting Democratic politicians were different from Republicans.DEMOCRATS TAKING THE SENATE? SERIOUSLY? DESPITE TRUMP’S SINKING POLLS, IT’S PROBABLY A MEDIA FANTASY “Democrats do not play politics the way Republicans do,” Reid said.”Oh come on, Joy, please,” Povich interrupted, snickering at the comment.”They do not. They do not. Democrats play by the Marquess de Queensberry rules. They’re not rule breakers,” Reid argued.”You’re trying to tell me if the Democrats take the Senate in 2027 and [Justice Samuel] Alito retires and Trump names a Supreme Court justice, that Democrats are going to have hearings and actually confirm him or her?”…

The U.S. Navy’s top civilian said Tuesday that the service would look into the concept of utilizing foreign partners to manufacture the nation’s warships as it seeks to address its growing shipbuilding needs.Navy Secretary John Phelan told reporters at a media roundtable at Sea-Air-Space 2026 in Washington that the Navy was facing a labor capacity problem at home and needed help remediating it.“Everything’s on the table,” Phelan said. “We just need to look at it, understand it, understand the implications behind it and decide if we think that makes sense or not.”The secretary cited previous successful maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) work with Korea and Japan as examples of how allies could alleviate pressure on the U.S. shipbuilding workforce.South Korean shipbuilding companies HD Hyundai Heavy Industries and Hanwha Ocean have already won three MRO contracts from the U.S. Navy in 2026, according to The Chosun Daily, a South Korean publication.The majority of South Korean MRO contracts are for U.S. Navy ships based in the U.S. Navy’s 7th Fleet, headquartered in Japan.Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Daryl Caudle met with South Korean shipbuilders in November 2025 during his first international trip as CNO, learning about shipbuilding practices that could help reinvigorate…

A while back I wrote a post about cooking without power which was really just a list of ways to heat up food–dutch oven, fireplace, grill, etc. But what if your food needs more than just heating? What if the power is out and you want to use the blender, the mixer, the toaster, the waffle maker, the coffee pot, or one of the many other kitchen appliances we tend to take for granted? Fortunately, there are many non-electric alternatives. I suggest you start replacing your kitchen appliances with non-power versions and learn to use them. This way, if the power goes out it won’t be as big of an inconvenience. Here are 15 kitchen gadgets that don’t need power. Want to save this post for later? Click Here to Pin It On Pinterest! 1. Butter Churn If you’re raising livestock or have access to fresh cream, there’s no reason to go without butter just because the power is out. A traditional dash churn is simple to use: pour in your heavy cream, let it come to room temperature, and churn for 20-30 minutes until the fat separates and you’re left with fresh butter and buttermilk. 2. Camp Stove Toaster…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! EXCLUSIVE: President Donald Trump rejected former President Joe Biden’s assertion of executive privilege over a tranche of documents requested by the Senate as part of various probes into the 46th president, determining it is “not in the best interests of the United States.” White House counsel David Warrington wrote Monday in a letter addressed to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and obtained by Fox News Digital that Trump “does not uphold the former President’s assertion of privilege” over records sought in four congressional probes. The letter directs NARA to provide the materials to Congress.The dispute centers on documents related to investigations into Biden’s health, alleged politically motivated probes into Trump and his allies, and the Biden family’s financial dealings, which Republicans argue go to the heart of Congress’ constitutional authority to conduct oversight.The letter came as a response to communication from NARA on Dec. 10 informing the White House that the former president had asserted executive privilege over the requested materials.DOJ SIGNALS IT’S STILL DIGGING INTO BIDEN AUTOPEN USE DESPITE REPORTS PROBE FIZZLED Warrington said the assertion “is not justified” as to documents identified in two letters Biden sent to NARA…

NATO defenses intercepted an Iranian missile on Monday that entered Turkey’s airspace, the country’s defense ministry said.The interception is the second of a Turkey-bound missile since the U.S. and Israel launched military strikes against Iran on Feb. 28.

In this article, Jeremy Tremp reviews the new Springfield Armory SAINT Victor 7.62 rifle with a 20″ barrel. This new AR-10-style rifle is chambered for the 7.62×51 NATO cartridge, which allows it to also shoot the popular .308 round. How does it perform? That’s what Tremp is here to tell us. The firearm was provided by the company for this review. The Springfield Armory SAINT Victor 7.62mm gets put through its paces at the range by reviewer Jeremy Tremp. A 20″ barrel and solid ergonomics make the prone position feel natural for precision work. Ever since I wrote my very first article for The Armory Life, I’ve been hooked on long-range precision shooting. My first opportunity arose when I wrote an article about taking the M1A out to 1,000 yards. The rest is history. Since that day, I have been blessed with the opportunity to cover almost every precision rifle that Springfield has made in the last four years. Today, we continue that trend with the new Springfield Armory Saint Victor 20” in 7.62mm. The Springfield SAINT Victor is chambered in 7.62×51 NATO, which means it also runs .308 Winchester without any modifications. Same rifle, two named chamberings, and a whole…

United States President Donald Trump has downplayed the economic impact of $100 a barrel oil as a “very small price to pay” in order to keep up the war efforts. “ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. The surge in oil prices and subsequent damage to the U.S. economy could to be too much for many Americans. Right now, most everyday people are feeling the cost-of-living crisis as inflation crushes their purchasing power, and the costs of everything have skyrocketed. But you’ll get no sympathy from the ruling class, who are now telling people who can’t afford groceries that a price increase in their fuel is a “very small price to pay.” In the Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump wrote:  “Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace. ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!” According to a report by RT, during his reelection campaign, Trump promised cheaper gas and no costly wars. However, according to data from the American Automobile Association, the national average price of regular gasoline has risen by 15%…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog.  There is no way to get around it. We are facing a major global economic disruption, and the longer this war goes on, the worse it will get. As I have reminded my readers on numerous occasions, our entire way of life is predicated on cheap energy, and the Middle East is the most important energy-producing region in the entire world. Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has been paralyzed, and energy infrastructure has been under attack by both sides. In fact, this morning Tehran was “covered in thick black clouds of smoke” after a refinery and multiple oil depots were destroyed… Even if traffic through the Strait of Hormuz was restored tomorrow, and that is not going to happen, the damage that has been done to energy infrastructure throughout the Middle East would take many months to repair. It would be difficult for me to overstate the severity of the disruption that we are currently witnessing. In neighboring Iraq, oil production has already fallen by 70 percent since the start of the war… Oil production in Iraq has fallen by 70% since the war broke out, according to Reuters. The…
