Update: President Trump avoids Chicago, opts instead to order National Guard troops to “fight crime” in Memphis next, he told Fox during an appearance Friday morning. “Memphis is deeply troubled. We’re gonna fix that just like we did Washington,” Trump said. “I would have preferred going to Chicago.”In terms of violent crime, Memphis is nearly three times as dangerous as Washington, D.C., according to 2024 FBI crime statistics. Memphis recorded more than 15,000 instances with a population of 613,000 people last calendar year compared to 6,500 violent crimes in Washington, where more than 700,000 reside. Memphis ranked fourth in the…

I have a friend who, like me, is “into guns.” We talk about the latest and greatest hardware out there. We go to the range together. He’s a good pistol shot and wants to get better. He understands the rules of gun safety and lives them every day. The biggest difference between us is that when I am finished with a practice session on the range, I make sure my defensive pistol has a round in the chamber and is loaded to capacity with all the safeties engaged, then I put it in a holster on my person. My friend,…

Early on in my duck hunting journey, I lugged some wood duck decoys and a spinner deep into a chunk of public land in north-central Wisconsin. I’d stumbled across a pond in the parcel while scouting for whitetails, and figured it might pick up some wood duck and teal traffic on the opener.As soon as I tossed the first decoys in, my retriever followed. When I jammed the spinner into the mud and turned it on, her eyes bugged out of her head. It became pretty clear that I hadn’t trained that young Lab around decoys enough, and I was…

Retirement has been on my mind. Instead of hypotheticals, the planning has become very real. Just a few more months until “game time.”I can see clearly that the key to a successful retirement isn’t just saving. Instead, setting up an income plan, planning for contingencies and giving some real thought to “What’s next?” are now top of mind.Let’s face it: You don’t want to spend your golden years hoping the stock market behaves, or that your savings last longer than you do, as you sit on the couch fretting about any number of what-ifs.Looking both back and ahead, here’s where…

With two years until its 2027 zero trust deadline, the Pentagon is revving up its cybersecurity efforts, with plans for a new strategy, detailed guidance, and the review of dozens of “granular” action plans for defense organizations. “We’re 24 months away from our deadline of the end of fiscal ‘27 to hit target level ZT,” which is a baseline ability to secure the Defense Department’s data, applications, assets, and services, Randy Resnick, who leads the Pentagon’s zero trust efforts, said Wednesday at the Billington Cybersecurity Summit. Zero trust is a cybersecurity concept that assumes hackers are already inside networks, so the focus is…
