Rick Franco has worn many hats throughout his military career. But the loss of a once close friend catapulted him and three service member buddies to a new venture: making bourbon.Franco, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, along with his friends RJ Casey (Special Forces), Mike Trott (Air Force) and Harold Underdown (Navy), started Four Branches Bourbon to provide active-duty service members and veterans with a product rooted in patriotism, friendship, service and entrepreneurship.The brand, which launched in 2023 and has since helped raise more than $500,000 for veteran causes, has an emphasized impact on Franco. His post-service life harkens back to his…
Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadGroup membership during collapse. It sounds simple until it isn’t. Someone knocks. They need help. You know them—or maybe you don’t. But they’re standing at your front door. They’re tired, scared, hungry, maybe sick. And they need help. You have stew cooking. Their kids haven’t eaten in days. You know that sharing your food is taking away from your family. Every meal you share with other is one meal closer to you and your loved ones starving. That moment is not the moment to start thinking about how your group handles new members. Unless…
When I approached the entrance to Bryce Canyon National Park last spring, my heart sank. The line of cars was so long that I couldn’t see the entry gate. Once I finally got in, finding a parking space took another solid hour. I had planned a 32-mile backpacking trip through the park, and was concerned that the crowds would spoil my dreams of peace and solace in the backcountry. After I set off on my hike, however, about 2 miles in, everyone else faded away. I was able to enjoy the striking rock formations and landscapes all by myself. By…
Republicans in Michigan’s legislature have already introduced a permitless carry bill this session, but they’re also taking aim at some of the state’s “gun-free zones.” Under a newly-introduced House bill, several locations that are currently off-limits to concealed carry would be open to lawful gun owners, though even if the permitless carry bill were to become law, a carry license would still be required in bars, churches, hospitals, arenas, entertainment venues and several other locations. State Rep. Jay DeBoyer, R-Clay Township, said giving private property owners the option to allow concealed carry in these places is…
Gun stores across Virginia are slammed. And everyone knows why. With a sweeping “assault weapon” ban now headed to the governor’s desk, customers are rushing in, wallets open, trying to beat the clock before new restrictions hit. Inside shops across the state, it’s akin to standing room only. “We have more customers. We have parking issues because of it,” one gun store owner told ABC 13. “People come by and say they have to pass four times before they can find a parking place.” That’s not hype. That’s panic buying in real time. The legislation, House Bill 217, would ban…

Tens of thousands of unarmed civilians killed by their own government. No charges. No arrests. And no right to keep and bear arms. It is estimated that Iranian police, military, and paramilitary forces have murdered more than 36,000 unarmed citizens in recent months. The real number won’t be known until the regime falls, if it ever does. Not a single member of Iran’s security apparatus has faced arrest or charges for any of those killings. Not one. That’s what happens when a government strips its people of the means to resist. Iran confiscated privately owned firearms decades ago, leaving its…
Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadPeople often look at preparedness through a basic lens of supplies, checklists, and storage rooms. And, yes, it feels great as our mountain if prepping supplies grows—I love it. That mindset covers the basics. It’s the logical starting point and does a lot of good for getting prepared. But people who go deeper into their preparedness—just like you are doing now, know that preparedness is a thinking game. You know that what works today might not tomorrow, and that rigid plans, like an egg, are easy to crack. If you’re reading this, odds are…
This article was originally published by Joseph T. Salerno at the Mises Institute. This article is adapted from a lecture presented at the 2025 Supporters Summit in Delray Beach, Florida. I want to start with a confession: I love falling prices. I love deflation. I want all prices to go down to a nickel. I stole that line from Murray Rothbard. It’s not inflation that we should fear, it’s the opposite— deflationphobia, which is the fear of falling prices. We should fear deflationphobia because it leads to a very dangerous institutional monetary policy: inflation targeting. So, let me begin with…
The best running shorts for women can be the difference between a smooth run and a workout spent tugging and adjusting. From daily road miles to steep technical climbs, our team puts in the weekly mileage to find the pairs that truly deliver when the pace picks up and the temperatures rise. To make our list, the best women’s running shorts must stay put, resist chafing, dry quickly, and offer smart storage for essentials without feeling bulky. We also look closely at durability, price, sustainability, and style, because the shorts you reach for most should perform as well on mile 20…
If there’s one thing we should be well aware of as Americans at this point, it’s that not every terrorist attack has to be 9/11. That day was truly awful and will live in my nightmares forever, and I just watched that crap on television. I can’t even imagine what those who survived it went through. Just this year, though, we’ve seen three separate terrorist attacks, all since the United States began its bombing campaign against Iran. From Austin to Old Dominion University to Michigan, individual jihadists have decided to try to take as many…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadLet’s be blunt—your mind is under attack. Not just by algorithms or platforms, but with encouragement from state actors, media networks, and other interests with something to gain by using us. Code. Curated chaos. The attention economy and psyop campaigns thrive on outrage, fear, and distraction, and you’re the product. Every angry scroll, every anxious click, every late-night doom-dive, every bit of influence gained over you? That’s more money and control in someone else’s pocket. And the cost to you? Clarity. Sanity. The ability to focus on what matters most. That feeling of overwhelm,…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadDisaster strikes. The grid goes dark. Infrastructure stops. Your kid goes from eating waffles on the couch to hauling buckets of water up the stairs. Your spouse is trying to cook dinner on a camp stove while rationing batteries. And you’re looking around, trying to figure out how to keep everyone moving forward when the world just hit the pause button. That’s the kind of shift families face in any serious disaster — whether it’s a hurricane grinding the coast or a blackout with no end in sight. And it doesn’t just test your…
