Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadA major threat during emergencies that is rarely discussed is the possibility that our own brain can work against us. We’d like to think that we would react quickly if something didn’t feel right, but unfortunately, our brains are wired to discount anything that goes against our routine. This mental tendency is called “normalcy bias.” It can cause us to ignore early warning signs, freeze in our tracks, or, worse, wait until it’s too late to act. For urban dwellers, recognizing danger quickly is one thing we can control if we can train our…
We’ve spilled a lot of digital ink on the new gun control laws coming to Virginia, and not without reason. They’re egregious infringements on the right of the people to keep and bear arms. They’re awful. California, on the other hand, is where we’re used to seeing such egregious infringements. Yes, we’ve talked about them, but California could come out tomorrow and say they’re going to round up all of the guns in the state, and no one would be particularly shocked. They’d be outraged, yes, but not totally surprised.However, bad ideas from California are…
If you’ve ever wanted to channel your inner cowboy without spending a fortune on ammo, Winchester Air Rifles has something worth a look. The company recently announced its new Single Action Western Revolver, a CO2-powered six-shooter that looks like it rode straight out of a dusty frontier town. Built from metal with a gunmetal finish and nickel-plated accents, the revolver features a functioning hammer, loading gate, and extractor. In other words, Winchester didn’t just make another BB gun. They leaned hard into the Old West theme. The revolver shoots both BBs and pellets using included cartridges. Winchester includes six BB…
Research published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine found that COVID-vaccinated veterans had nearly 24 percent fewer all-cause cardiac events — not just those linked to COVID infections. The result suggests that the vaccines may be broadly cardioprotective, according to the researchers. The large study using VA health data found that COVID-19 vaccination significantly reduced the risk of heart attacks, strokes and other major cardiovascular events among veterans — including a reduction in cardiac events with no documented COVID diagnosis, a finding that surprised the researchers themselves. The study, published June 15, 2026, in JAMA Internal Medicine, followed more than…
Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadIn preparedness, your mindset is the foundation for every action you take. It can be the tool that ensures your safety or the trigger that invites disaster. As preppers, we often talk about having the right gear along with tactical and homesteading skills, but what happens when your own thinking becomes the biggest threat? This isn’t about complex survival scenarios. It can happen on any given morning when a simple decision goes wrong. It’s easy to get locked into a false sense of “I’ve got this,” where you override your better judgment. This is…
A new United States screwworm case brings the total in the country to sixteen. Mexico has nearly 30,000 reported cases since November 2024, with 1,800 still active, meaning this could quickly escalate if failures to eliminate the parasite persist. According to a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) screwworm dashboard, the U.S. cases thus far involve cattle, sheep, goats, and one dog. The case confirmed on Monday was in Terrell County, Texas. On Sunday, another case was confirmed in Edwards County, Texas. “The case was identified in a castration site wound. NWS only infests open wounds — it does not…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadUnless you’ve been taking a break from current events, you’re aware that the U.S. and Israel have launched a campaign of attacks against Iran, including the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, and Shia Cleric, Ali Hosseini Khamenei, which, as expected, prompted Iran to launch missile attacks at a number of Middle Eastern countries. That is prompting a variety of reactions in return. For many, especially in the in-tune-to-dangerous-times prepping community, there’s an unsettled feeling, maybe a worry-induced knot in our stomach, or something else that warns us this latest conflict could carry dangerous second-…
Glaring war hawk, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, has emphatically rejected the United States and Iran’s calls to cease military operations in Lebanon. The minister added that Israel can “achieve results if Lebanon is our playground.” In spite of a ceasefire agreement, which amounted to a surrender to Iran by the US, Israel has continued to strike targets in Lebanon, it says, that are linked to the terrorist group Hezbollah. Ben-Gvir has stated clearly that Israel will not and “cannot agree to a ceasefire in Lebanon,” and US President Donald Trump should be aware of this. Ben-Gvir further described…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadAsk anyone about their number one goal when it comes to preparedness, and the answer is almost always the same: protecting family comes first. But getting everyone else in your household on board can sometimes feel impossible. You want to prepare the people you care about for the future, but you often run into doubts, resistance, and the classic eye roll. Many families suffer from normalcy bias. They quietly assume that tomorrow will look exactly like today. Even when you point out the bumps in the road, they simply do not tune in to…
The Second Amendment Foundation and Firearms Policy Coalition notched a big win for the Second Amendment rights of young adults in a case called Reese v. ATF, but the federal judge in Louisiana who concluded that the federal law banning licensed sales of handguns and handgun ammunition to law-abiding 18-to-20-year-old adults violates the Second Amendment only granted relief to a very narrow subset of that age group; only those members of the plaintiff organizations who were members when the judge issued his ruling, and only those living within the geographic borders of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. …
The June 22 crash occurred during a training exercise and is being investigated. Four U.S. Coast Guard crew members have been declared safe following a helicopter crash. Authorities said in a press release that the Coast Guard MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter aircrew from Coast Guard Air Station Sitka crashed Monday during a training flight with four people aboard near Harbor Mountain in Sitka, Alaska. Watch standers at the Arctic District command center received the initial report of the crash at approximately 10:07 a.m. through the activation of the aircrew’s personal locator beacon. Sitka Fire and Rescue arrived on scene at approximately…

When a tornado touches down, and the sirens begin to wail, adrenaline kicks in. For many of us, our path to safety is clear: get to the shelter and hunker down. But for the members of our families with difficulty getting around, or acting on their own—children, those with disabilities, and the elderly—that path isn’t always so straightforward. Speed and mobility are usually luxuries during an emergency. Cognitive challenges can make it difficult to process warnings and unfolding events. It’s the limitations of ourselves and those whom we care about that require a different level of preparedness. It requires us…
Iran has agreed to set up a hotline between itself and the United States to solve disputes in the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran’s chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has said that the Strait will henceforth be “managed under Iranian arrangements” and will “never return to what it was before the war.” Ghalibaf made the comments in Iran after returning from talks in Switzerland with the US. “Problems can arise in the Strait of Hormuz, so we agreed to establish a center and a communications line so that if issues occur, we can resolve them more quickly within a 30-day period,” Ghalibaf…
The National Archives is asking Americans to help keep more than 83,000 Revolutionary War veterans in the national conversation, one handwritten pension file at a time. As the country prepares to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence, the National Archives and the National Park Service are collaborating on a Citizen Archivist project to transcribe Revolutionary War pension and bounty-land warrant files. The records, created from roughly 1800 to 1912, include applications and supporting documents tied to claims for pensions or land based on service in the Revolutionary War. The project arrives at a moment when the country is being…
