    As a professional viewer of Internet videos, I can tell you it was not staged, trumps reaction was too realistic and authentic. That being said, I’m pretty confident the bullet didn’t actually strike his ear. The blood was from an impact with secret service during the tackling .

    Icon, a 3D-printing construction company, is launching a dedicated defense-and-space division dubbed Icon Prime. It's led by Will Hurd, the former Republican presidential candidate and CIA clandestine officer. Why it matters: The business specializes in government work, including construction of military barracks and potential space bases, as well as the advanced robotics needed for such ventures. "We need an ability to build infrastructure, to have this force projection, in really hard places," Hurd told Axios, mentioning both the Arctic and the Indo-Pacific. State of play: Icon is already building — printing, rather — at Fort Bliss, Texas, where the company is on contract for 10 barracks. That $63 million project will eventually house hundreds of soldiers. The company also secured millions of dollars from NASA to figure out lunar construction. That involves building with local materials, often referred to as regolith, and contending with incredible temperature swings. In 2020, it helped Marines print a shelter for a large vehicle at Camp Pendleton, California. Friction point: Traditional military housing has been under the gun for years. The Government Accountability Office in 2023 documented instances of hot-water outages, malfunctioning elevators, broken locks and methane leaks. What's next: Hurd wants "to build 900 barracks in the next five years." "This is about making sure their quality of life allows the warfighter to be ready to do their ultimate job," he said. https://www.axios.com/2026/04/15/icon-3d-printing-will-hurd-texas

    Maybe there’s been one but I’ve always thought that would make for a cool movie scene.

    Cool. I’ll check it out. I watched the first season of Karen Pirie on Amazon Prime, I liked it a lot. (Next season (s) are available on a streaming service I don’t pay for.
