From a 19-year-old aircrew new guy in Hong Kong to a retired SEAL and father watching his son build an AI startup, Navy Federal has been the one financial partner I could count on to show up, fight for me, and actually pick up the phone when it matters.

If you’ve ever worn the uniform or supported those who do, this is a smart time to let Navy Federal step into your corner with a savings offer that respects your service and helps you build what comes next.

Christians are dying in Nigeria, but so are Muslims and countless other civilians, and the bloodshed has less to do with a holy war than with a government that has let the country slip into the hands of jihadists, militias, and land-grabbers.

The arrest of a GRU-linked cyber-operative down the road was a reminder that the world’s sharpest edges have a way of slipping quietly into ordinary places.

Amidst the chaos and carnage, I couldn’t help but marvel at the sheer audacity of these men—pilots who crawled from the wreckage, dusted themselves off, and pressed forward as if crashing a helicopter was just another Tuesday.

The shutdown may be over, but the same entrenched division, weak leadership, and political gamesmanship that brought us to the brink are still eroding our national security from the inside out.

In Darfur — where al-Fashir’s fall has tightened the RSF’s chokehold — women are being hunted, starved, and silenced as systematic rape and engineered famine are wielded as weapons while the world looks away.

Some people spend their lives chasing ghosts; I just needed to hear one more song to realize mine had been singing to me all along.

In a decisive, intelligence-driven sweep across six northern states, the Nigerian Air Force’s synchronized precision strikes under Operations Hadin Kai and Fanjan Yamma shredded insurgent logistics and eliminated senior fighters — a clear tactical win that nonetheless underlines how airpower, however effective, cannot by itself cure the deeper social and economic rot that fuels the violence.
