Elon Musk calls for "deleting" the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. He claims there are too many duplicate agencies. The problem with that logic is there's no agency that does what it does.

Trump is taking credit for the Israel-Hezbollah cease-fire, because his clear-cut victory has made the world take notice that they need to come "to the table."

News drones and anti-drone technology could be a game changer for Ukraine. Learn about the new Hitchhicker drone and Iron-Net and Asterion defense systems.

Farmers can't use seeds from a crop to replant. It's illegal because of the contract they signed to only buy the seeds from the company, not to use their own. Think of Monsanto and the RoundUp resistant plants they patented.

Women in combat are no problem for the war in Ukraine. "The Witches of Bucha" could teach Pete Hegseth a thing or two.

Sweden may be pointing their finger at China as the saboteurs who cut the Baltic Sea internet cables. They've had a ship suspiciously parked in a location for no reason. Initially all eyes were on Russia. Maybe both of them.
