You’d think that one way to make sure you never get a traffic ticket in the mail is to stick your car in a museum and just not let it taste the sweet freedom of the open road.Well, you’re wrong.It turns out that it doesn’t even work if the car in question is a replica of KITT, the car from the David Hasselhoff talking car classic, “Knight Rider.” The Volo Museum is a car museum outside of Chicago, and one of the cars on display is a replica of KITT, the Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am voiced by the great William Daniels…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream.  A really big space rock is going to have a very close encounter with our planet on Monday. Based on current calculations, we are being told that we don’t have anything to be concerned about, but if this really big space rock actually hit a major city, it would cause a catastrophic amount of damage. So let’s hope that what the astronomers are telling us is correct. Of course, this is not the only asteroid that has come uncomfortably close to Earth in 2026. So…

That move, the congressmen said, was against the law. Rep. Adam Smith of…

The U.S. Army is moving beyond battling individual drone threats as it experiments with tactics to combat — and attack with — throngs of unmanned aircraft in saturated skies. The latest iteration of Project Flytrap, a multinational exercise to test new drone technologies in a realistic conflict setting, pitted U.S. and allied forces against each other in scenarios that featured drone swarms, jamming systems and counter-UAS defenses that continue to redefine modern warfare.Army leaders have emphasized the need to integrate drones into doctrine and tactics, as they say the rise of inexpensive, mass-produced drones have forced the service to rethink…
