SWAT officers responded to an emergency situation on Tuesday at the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Systems Center in Natick, Mass., which was later discovered to involve an on-duty officer. Police were called to the facility, known as Natick Labs, at 9:15 a.m. for a possible distressed individual. “This person that we were looking for was an on-duty security officer for the base,” Natick Police Department Chief Jim Hicks said in a news conference. “The officers were working to talk with him, to discuss with him what was going on. He fled the officers into an area of the base, where…
United States ruler Donald Trump is struggling to win over the American civilians. His disapproval rating is now at an all-time high of 62%. In a survey published by the Washington Post on Monday, most Americans are dissatisfied with Trump’s job performance, while his approval stands at just 37%. Trump has repeatedly attacked the outlet, accusing it of publishing “fake” news stories. However, with the War Department’s push toward Christian nationalism, many Americans are feeling like they are sliding into tyranny. Christian Nationalist Pete Hegseth Pushes Religion In The Military Opposition to the Iran war is a key factor in Trump’s…
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s official hunting and fishing access order is now at the center of a fight over local hunting restrictions in National Park Service units where hunting is already allowed. Burgum signed Secretarial Order 3447 in January 2026, directing Interior agencies to expand hunting and fishing access, remove unnecessary barriers, and ensure consistent policy across department-managed lands and waters. Now, an April 21 internal memo and park-by-park spreadsheet have raised questions about how that order will apply to local hunting restrictions created by park superintendents and land managers. Interior and the National Park Service haven’t publicly posted those…
We still don’t have many details about what happened the first time the Trump administration tried to deliver small arms to resistance groups inside Iran earlier this year, other than the president’s comments that the guns never got to where they were going. Still, President Trump appears to be willing to give it another go, based on remarks he made to Salem Media’s Hugh Hewitt on Monday. “Well, look, the problem is you can’t — if you have five people with a gun, and 250,000 [without], the five people with a gun, assuming it’s used…
A routine Sunday turned into chaos in Garland, Texas and it ended with a father defending his entire family in a split-second decision. According to reporting from Fox 4 Dallas-Fort Worth, a suspect went on a violent spree near Highway 66 and Dairy Road, crashing into multiple vehicles before attempting to carjack a family of eight. That’s when everything escalated. Witnesses say the man was acting erratically, trying to force his way into several vehicles in a nearby parking lot. Surveillance video shows him moving with intent, targeting cars one after another. Then he picked the wrong one. Inside the…
Senate Republicans are pushing a $1 billion White House security plan after a recent assassination attempt on President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. The proposal, part of a broader $70 billion Senate package focused on immigration enforcement and law enforcement spending, comes as the administration and GOP lawmakers and right-of-center social media influencers quickly seized on the incident to justify fast-tracking what has been considered a controversial ballroom project. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, released the proposal as part of the broader reconciliation package. “The White House applauds Congress’s latest proposal…
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans have added $1 billion in White House security upgrades to legislation that would fund immigration enforcement agencies, a proposed boost for President Donald Trump’s ballroom project after a man was charged with trying to assassinate him at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner last week. The GOP bill released late Monday would designate the money for the U.S. Secret Service for “security adjustments and upgrades” related to the ballroom project, which Trump and Republicans have been pushing since Cole Tomas Allen allegedly stormed the April 25 media dinner at the Washington Hilton with guns and…
I was on the second day of my Canyonlands backpacking trip, and I didn’t have a small daypack. This forced me to use my massive 60L Mountain Hardwear Alakazam for just a few snacks and supplies for a day hike to Angel Arch — an absolute overkill for the trek. But when I closed the roll-top and cinched the brand’s patented GiddyUp Compression System, I was shocked. The ultralight pack “shrank” to a reasonable size for a short hike. Alakazam. It was like magic. Mountain Hardwear (MHW) released the Alakazam pack in spring 2026, and I tested an early prototype.…
If you’ve ever been to a geeky convention–something anime, sci-fi, videogame, or similar–then you’ve seen cosplayers. Some of these people actually make a living with their cosplays, and for understandable reasons. They’re absolutely amazing. Most cosplayers do it for the love of the game, sometimes literally. Recently, Toronto had an anime convention, or “con,” that brought out one particular cosplayer, who apparently terrified the cops there so much that they swarmed him and treated him like a terrorist.A cosplayer in Toronto was handcuffed and detained after walking through a park for a cosplay event with…
Despite the fact that Louisiana is a permitless carry state, lawful concealed carry is generally prohibited at the state capitol building in Baton Rouge. There are some carveouts in place for a host of public officials and employees, however; including the governor, attorney general, judges, state legislators, members of Louisiana’s congressional delegation, and even parish presidents. The list could grow even longer if Louisiana state Sen. Rick Edmonds gets his way. Edmonds has filed SB 277, and if adopted many other government workers could soon lawfully carry while in the state capitol complex. … the Baton…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadThis article—and the podcast that goes with it—was sparked by a listener in the Mind4Survival Facebook group. Audra McKinney asked: “What do you do when your gut tells you to prep more, even though you’re already stocked?” If you’ve been at this a while, you’ve probably asked yourself the same thing. You’ve got food. Water. Backups. A solid plan. Maybe even a second location nobody knows about but you. You’re not new to prepping. So why do you still feel like something’s missing? That quiet gnawing in the back of your mind—the one that…
Sheepsfoot blades are both unique and wonderful. Where drop-point blades may receive more universal acclaim for their versatility, I find a sheepsfoot blade better suits my needs and adventures in the outdoors. Though I’ll be honest, I never knew about the lore behind the blade’s unmistakable shape until recently. When GiantMouse pitched the idea of having me review its new ACE Iona Sailor folding knife, it came with a tall tale. According to the brand, in the days of tall sailing ships, sailors and crew were ordered to snap the tips off their knives. It was thought that if the…
As noted this morning, Minnesota now has a bill that would ban so-called ghost guns. The sponsor of that bill needed a bit of a history lesson, of course, but the bill itself is idiotic even without the ignorant comments. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is a supporter of the bill, and he’s as anti-gun as they come, to say the least. He likes to argue that “ghost guns” are a problem and that a law is needed to address them.Obviously, I disagree. As I noted in that piece, a study that tried to suggest…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadYou’ve got your gear. You’ve got your skills. But if your mind taps out when it matters most, none of that is going to save you. That’s the truth about survival. This episode is about the part of preparedness most people gloss over—not because they’re lazy, but because they don’t even realize it’s a capability gap. And when they think about it, they often assume they’re fine. Preppers especially fall into this trap because we’ve already recognized the need to prepare. Then, when we compare that to those who don’t prep at all, it’s…
Arizona is already home to three national parks, and soon, it may be getting another. Today, the bill to make Chiricahua National Monument a national park passed the House of Representatives, making it one step closer to becoming the first new national park since 2020. What Happened Any creation or expansion of a national park requires Congress to pass legislation. H.R. 6380, the Chiricahua National Park Act, comes from Rep. Juan Ciscomani (R-Ariz.) and went before the House for a vote on March 16. The bill was passed under the “suspension of rules,” meaning that debate was limited to 40 minutes,…
In National Rifle Association v. NRA Foundation, the NRA alleges that Foundation trustees cut them out of the trustee selection process. That’s now been confirmed through documents the Foundation filed. NRA v. NRA Foundation was brewing prior to the suit being filed in January 2026. Rumors about a number of things were swirling around mid-to-early 2025, and some of those rumors appear to be true. One rumor was that the NRA Foundation leadership changed their bylaws to cut the NRA Board of Directors out of the Foundation trustee selection process. On Feb. 13, the NRA…
By Larry Keane At the exact moment Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger and a Democrat-majority legislature are ramming through additional gun control measures restricting the Constitutional rights of law-abiding Virginians, those responsible for putting bad guys who break the law behind bars are instead going easy and putting peaceful Virginians at risk. That includes the risk of getting murdered. Tragically, it’s a familiar pattern when ties between top prosecutors and antigun billionaires are crystal clear. That would be George Soros and his Open Society Foundation — now led by his son, Alex. The Soros family isn’t just soft-on-crime. They’re virulently antigun, funding efforts to strip gun…
