This article was originally published by Frank Shostak at The Mises Institute. According to the Washington Times from June 10, 2026, the US President Donald Trump brushed off the rising inflation number—i.e., the yearly growth rate of the consumer price index (CPI)—which jumped to 4.2 percent in May from 3.8 percent in April. “No, I love it. The numbers were great. You know what I really love? I love the inflation,” Mr. Trump said in the Oval Office. The US President may be expressing a view that is popular in economics. By this way of thinking, the policy of price stability does…
Papercrete was invented in the 1920s, but it was so easy to make, no one bought it. Papercrete has been used to build homes, walls, fences, and is easily formed into any object from flowerpots to furniture. The biggest advantage of papercrete is that it’s lightweight but sturdy enough to bear loads. It also has excellent insulating properties with an R-value of R2 per inch. Better yet, you can use regular hand tools and power tools to saw it, drill it, and you can even pound nails into it. Want to save this post for later? Click Here to Pin…
Tent camping under the stars will always have its own allure. At the same time, getting to sleep in a real bed at the end of a long day of hiking is often a welcome luxury. If you love hiking and want to explore nature — but don’t like sleeping on the ground — hut-to-hut hikes are worth a try. For some wilderness areas, these backcountry huts are the only sleep option while exploring scenic trails. They also offer the advantage of packing lighter and moving faster, since you won’t need as much gear. We rounded up the seven best…
The state of Washington has passed a number of gun control bills in recent years, and most of them were sold to the public as being essential for public safety. That’s how gun control is always marketed, of course, and when it fails to deliver, it’s always a case of how we just need more of what didn’t work. And, frankly, anti-gunners don’t care if it works or not. We know that because as soon as they notch a legislative victory, they don’t hold off and see what works and what doesn’t. They just pick…
A U.S. Army sergeant who used a handgun last summer to shoot five individuals, including his then-fiancé, at Fort Stewart was convicted of attempted murder charges. Sgt. Quornelius Radford, 29, was found guilty of his Aug. 6, 2025, actions by a military judge at the Georgia-based Fort Stewart who delivered the verdict in the court-martial, according to sources including the Associated Press and local outlets. Army prosecutors originally accused Radford of targeting leaders of his supply unit when he used a personal handgun in August 2025 to open fire, wounding four fellow soldiers and his then-fiancé, Raekwon Smith. In March,…

Toy guns–actual toy guns–aren’t something we should really have to worry about being regulated into obscurity. I’m not talking about super-realistic airsoft guns or non-firing replicas that are little more than props, but look realistic. Those might run afoul of some enterprising anti-gunner and, to some degree, already have. But toys are toys. They’re not even that realistic anymore, compared to back in my day. They should, in theory, be fine, but some people have long had a problem with them, trying to argue that playing with toy guns leads to violence later in life.…
Find out the veterans benefits your state offers. Everyone knows about the federal benefits available to veterans, but did you know many states also offer great benefits to their veterans? State benefits range from free college and employment resources to free hunting and fishing licenses. Most states also offer tax breaks for their veterans and specialized license plates, and some states even provide their veterans with cash bonuses just for serving in the military. We have compiled a handy summary of the benefits each state and territory offers. Each summary page also has a link directly to the specific State…
NBA star James Harden was reportedly arrested early Saturday morning in Houston on a misdemeanor weapons charge after police allegedly observed a handgun inside his vehicle during a traffic stop, according to reporting from KTLA. The 36-year-old former MVP was later released on a $100 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on June 22. At first glance, it may sound like a straightforward gun case. Then you start reading the details. According to multiple reports cited by KTLA, the handgun was allegedly in plain view inside Harden’s vehicle and was not being carried in a holster. That’s where…
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is poised to be a hum-dinger of a game when it launches next year. That’s because, regardless of how it actually lands with audiences and critics, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will be a AAA powerhouse, if the glitzy, expensive Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is any indication of its scale and scope. Revelation is also likely to land with a bang for another, more emotional reason: it’s the conclusion of the Final Fantasy 7 remake saga, which kicked off more than six years ago with Final Fantasy 7 Remake. As such, it’s going to reveal the many…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadIf you’ve spent any time in the prepping world, you’ve thought long and hard about the X. The event. The disaster. The fight. The day it all goes sideways. You’ve worked on plans to get through it—the food, the water, the gear, the skills. Good. That’s the work. But here’s the question almost nobody preps for: what happens to your mind after you make it through? That’s the heart of my conversation with Kris Hasenauer on episode 308 of the Mind4Survival podcast. Kris is a former Green Beret with the 20th Special Forces Group…
If you follow watch culture at all, you’ll quickly realize that “watch people” take their stuff pretty seriously. Maybe that’s why Christopher Ward is such a breath of fresh air. With the release of the C60 Pool Diver ($1,475 with a steel Bader bracelet, and $1,250 with an Aquaflex rubber strap), Christopher Ward offers a super-functional watch with a sense of humor. It’s self-deprecating in ways few brands try to be. And realistically, it’s much more in tune with how most people actually use a dive watch. The Pool Diver is a follow-up to the wildly popular Desk Diver watch,…
Throughout most of our nation’s history, gun control was a relatively rare thing. It existed, but it was an oppressive system designed to disarm groups that were viewed unfavorably by the public at large. Those included black men and women, Native Americans, and Catholics. Because “Catholic” was a race or something. I don’t understand it, either. Still, those laws were there specifically to keep certain groups from exercising their civil liberties. This is well known and well documented.Also well documented, though not as well known, was that the so-called Wild West was one of the…
Some interviews are controversial because the guest says something outrageous. Others are controversial because the guest says something many people don’t want to hear. Heather Mac Donald’s recent interview with John Stossel falls firmly into the second category. The Manhattan Institute scholar touched on several third-rail topics, including race, policing, gun violence, media coverage, and what she sees as the unintended consequences of anti-police rhetoric. Whether you agree with her conclusions or not, the interview stands out because it challenges several narratives that have become conventional wisdom in much of the legacy media. Mac Donald’s central argument is simple: America…

Ukraine launched almost two hundred drones at Moscow. The massive swarm caused reports of fires in the Russian capital, and more than a dozen people have been wounded in the surrounding region.
