Among the 101st troops are infantry units from the division’s storied 187th Infantry Regiment, known as the...

John Gibson, the CEO of the video game publisher responsible for the titles Chivalry and Killing Floor, is out of a job after he publicly voiced his pro-life views in the wake of Texas’ so-called “Heartbeat bill,” which makes it illegal to surgically abort a fetus once cardiac activity is detected in the fetus. Posting on Twitter, the Tripwire Interactive boss wrote that he was “proud of the [United States Supreme Court] affirming the Texas law banning abortion for babies with a heartbeat.” Gibson stated that the reason he was speaking out on the issue was because of how vocal...

The three previous bombings this month, over an 11-day period, killed two people and injured two others. Those three bombs were left as packages on doorsteps, while Manley said Sunday's device was different: It was placed on the side of the road. The victims were injured either while riding their bikes, or pushing them, Manley said.

In the week after the shootings at Virginia Tech, Congress is inching toward a legislative response, with an unlikely pair of lawmakers teaming up to push a bill to strengthen background checks to prevent the mentally ill and some others from buying guns. Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, (D-N.Y.), whose husband was killed and son seriously wounded by a gunman on a Long Island commuter train in 1993, has enlisted the aid of an unabashed backer of gun rights and former board member of the National Rifle Association, Rep. John Dingell, (D-Mich.). “John Dingell is Mr. NRA,” McCarthy said. As she drafted...

DMZ Twist: U.S. Retreat Unsettles North Korea By JAMES BROOKE EOUL, South Korea, June 10 ?When the Pentagon announced its plans to pull American troops away from the border with North Korea, attention focused mostly on South Korea and its objections to losing the protection of the so-called tripwire.
