If the stores and restaurants shut down, where would you go for food? In a world where modern conveniences vanish, your survival may hinge on your ability to grow your own food. While hunting and foraging can supplement your diet, having a garden full of high-calorie, nutrient-dense crops ensures a steady food supply. Self-sufficiency not only reduces dependence on bartering but also provides peace of mind. The key is choosing crops that are reliable, easy to grow, and packed with nutrition to keep you and your family healthy during tough times. Here are 13 crops you should consider growing to…

When a study says static stretching does not prevent injuries and makes you weaker when lifting, it is usually referring to all injuries, such as fractures, scrapes, or contusions. Stretching does not help prevent these, and measuring injury prevention is another science unto itself. The science that documents temporarily losing strength is well-founded, as static stretch holds do, in fact, make you weaker. Here is a question from a reader who enjoys stretching but is conflicted by anecdotal and scientific evidence about how helpful stretching is: Stew, I’ve heard a lot of mixed things about how stretching doesn’t prevent injuries…

Things are up in the air about suppressors and short-barreled long guns right now. Some of us have what I jokingly call a “get out of jail free” card because of our memberships in certain organizations or their affiliates, and can buy suppressors and short-barreled long guns without a Form 4. And not go to prison for it. But others can’t yet, and they don’t want to join an organization just to exercise their rights, which is fair.Which has some officials asking questions on people’s behalf. When those officials are on a House subcommittee for…

A U.S. Air Force base has ceased extending religious greetings at its gates to uniformed members following the reported intervention of an anti-discrimination organization. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), which has more than 100,000 members including both active-duty and veteran service members from different services and myriad ranks, said Thursday that it intervened following nearly three dozen received complaints about religious-oriented greetings at Kirtland Air Force Base’s front gates. MRFF said in a Sept. 3 press release that it ultimately received 34 complaints dating back days and even weeks, including from 24 individuals who identify as Christian. Officials at…

A U.S. Coast Guard jet with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin on board landed safely after one of its engines failed during the flight. The C-37A Gulfstream jet lost its right engine some 90 minutes into the flight, forcing it to make an emergency landing at Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) outside of Washington. The plane, which took off at 12:09 p.m. ET from Lawson Army Airfield near Columbus, Ga., had less than three hours’ worth of fuel, the pilot said. “We just lost our right engine, would like to declare an emergency and immediate landing at…

The Bruen decision may have made some things too muddy for some anti-gun activists — and by that, I mean they now have to actually show why a law is constitutional rather than just coast — but one thing was perfectly clear. Everyone was entitled to due process, meaning the requirements for a permit had to be objective, rather than subjective. Before that, the “good cause” requirement used by many states allowed officials to deny permits left and right, while the politically connected could get one with a phone call. The fact that the system…

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has either fired myriad senior officers, or blocked the promotions of more than 80 generals and admirals during his tenure, reimagining the Pentagon at a rapid pace. This turnover is not a single event but three overlapping ones. Hegseth is cutting the number of senior positions by policy, removing sitting commanders, and personally intervening in the promotion lists that determine who will lead the military years from now. This week, after Army Secretary Dan Driscoll’s resignation, criticism began coming from within his own party. Measured against the first 19 months of the Biden administration and of…

Authorities have arrested a U.S. Air Force member and his aunt, claiming they participated in an immigration fraud scheme. The two are accused of cooking up a scheme wherein they posed as mother and son in order for the Airman, John Paul Rivera, 30, to fraudulently obtain a green card, citizenship and seek citizenship for Rivera’s real mother. The Department of Justice (DOJ) charged Rivera with conspiracy to commit immigration fraud, making false statements under oath on immigration documents, making false statements to a federal agency and unlawfully procuring citizenship and misuse of citizenship evidence, according to KCTV5. The arrests…

The U.S. and Iran have intensified tit-for-tat military strikes in recent days, remaining locked between ceasefire and all-out war as the White House struggles to end the six-month conflict. “Very clearly militarily, we are stalled,” Republican Representative Pat Harrigan of North Carolina, who sits on the House Armed Services Committee, said in an interview on Wednesday. “There’s no question about that.” The latest back and forth has seen Iran hit merchant vessels, spurring the U.S. to strike Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps sites that were used for targeting ships in the Strait of Hormuz. That led to Iran firing missiles and…

The widow of a U.S. Airman who died during the United States’ ongoing military operations against Iran has claimed to have not received some of the benefits she is entitled to because of his death. US Air Force Major John “Alex” Klinner died in a crash in Iraq in March when an unspecified incident involving another aircraft occurred while his KC-135 Air Force refueling aircraft was in “friendly” airspace, supporting the war against Iran that began Feb 28 and recently exceeded the six-month mark. The other plane landed safely, U.S. military officials said, and officials began investigating the crash that…

I won’t call this a mass shooting, even if the media is, but it’s still a horrific enough scene in Minneapolis this morning. Two people are dead, and six others were injured, including three police officers, in an incident that had the police showing up to something that was probably a combination of a TV cop show scene and something out of their professional nightmares. It also appears that, thankfully, the gunman was also killed.Officers confronted a barrage of gunfire, their vision clouded by a haze, as they responded to a shooting at a Minneapolis…
