Around 2010, Scott Stump realized his own children did not know what Desert Storm was. Stump had been there. A Marine, he deployed to Saudi Arabia on the last day of 1990, part of the largest American combat force assembled since Vietnam. Almost two decades later, he found that the war he fought had almost all but vanished from the country’s memory. He noticed a vague understanding of the Middle East or outright confusion with the invasion of Iraq that came later. To a generation of young Americans, and even to his own kids, it had become something closer to…
A congressional candidate charged with felony vandalism after allegedly shooting a Flock camera has received almost $12,500 from hundreds of donations towards his legal defense. Adam Lee Heimerman, 37, of Lenoir City, Tenn., is an independent candidate for Tennessee’s 2nd Congressional District. Blount County authorities arrested him July 30 and charged him with four counts of felony vandalism, claiming that Heimerman admitted to using a gun to shoot four automated license plate reader systems over the course of eight days in July. Donations began funneling when a GoFundMe was started for Heimerman on July 31, receiving $12,435 from 350 donations…
Steam users can now purchase Baldur’s Gate 3 for the lowest price that Larian Studios’ acclaimed RPG has been since the game’s launch. However, Steam users only have a few more days as of this writing to take advantage of the offer. Originally released on August 3, 2023, after an extensive early access period, Baldur’s Gate 3 quickly became a fan-favorite entry in the series. Set in the land of Faerûn, BG3 offers players different ways to play and explore all that the campaign has to offer. BG3 utilizes a custom rule set that blends Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition…
The German automaker wants to give its forthcoming RS 6 Avant and Allroad models a few more station wagon siblings. Credit: Audi Originally published by CarBuzz Despite their stodgy reputation with most American consumers, luxury-badged station wagons are actually surprisingly popular. Buyers for the long-roof Mercedes-Benz E-Class are among the company’s most fiercely loyal (and high-net-worth), while BMW saw such strong demand for the M5 Touring that it’s considering bringing the next-generation M3 wagon to America. Audi is reportedly doing the same introspection, and it’s possible that the RS 6 Avant and allroad wagons will get more siblings before the end…
When I write about something out of USA Today, it’s rarely complimentary. The same people who brought us the chainsaw bayonet freakout haven’t really improved all that much since then. So, if they decided to do something different, I feel obligated to applaud them for it. While it’s an op-ed, it’s still a piece that does what ABC News did on Monday and celebrates an act of armed citizen heroism, rather than some of the other options. In fact, the op-ed in question says we need more of what we saw over the weekend, not…
One of the more interesting elements of Silent Hill: Townfall is its departure from series convention. It’s the first full Silent Hill in first-person, yes, but it also takes place in Scotland, being the second game in the franchise to go beyond US shores after Silent Hill f. I played Silent Hill: Townfall for about three hours during a press event in LA this July, and even had some time to chat with Jon McKellan, lead writer and director of Townfall, and Motoi Okamoto, lead Silent Hill producer since 2019. Both of these men play critical roles in not just…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadPicture this: It’s New Year’s Eve. An Uber driver parks his car at a remote trailhead in L.A.’s Santa Monica Mountains. His phone pings a nearby cell tower. His Uber app logs his route, and he films a small fire he’s just started. Five months earlier, he asked an AI to create a dystopian image of a burning forest. Fast forward to October 2025, and that driver, Jonathan Rinderknecht, is arrested for starting the Palisades Fire—one of Los Angeles’ worst wildfires, killing 12 people and causing $150 billion in damages. How did authorities catch…
Marines at Cherry Point have activated the service’s first unmanned maintenance squadron, giving the Corps a dedicated unit to keep its most advanced drones flying from forward locations. Marine Unmanned Maintenance Squadron 14 (MUMS-14) went into action Tuesday and will provide organic-level maintenance support for Group 5 Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)—the largest and heaviest category of UAS the military uses. The squadron is the only Marine Corps aviation unit organized, trained and equipped specifically to deliver that capability at forward deployed sites. The stand-up fills a key sustainment role as the Corps fields more unmanned systems in support of Marine…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadOctober’s rolling in with cooler air, falling leaves, and a wake-up call to do some fall weather prepping. In Mississippi, Fall Severe Weather Preparedness Week (October 6-11, 2025) is pushing families to prep for tornadoes, floods, and early frosts—threats that hit hard in Tornado Alley. Other states like Arkansas, Oklahoma, and South Carolina are joining in with similar campaigns, including South Carolina’s Earthquake Preparedness Week (October 12-18), which ties perfectly into a broader fall preparedness push. This isn’t about fear or hype—it’s about practical, low-cost steps to keep your household safe, whether you’re dodging…

If you’re paying attention, you’ve probably felt it and are watching it. Headlines…
Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadWhen things start to break down—whether it’s a slow grind or a sudden, shocking event—there are certain items that don’t just become valuable, they could become dangerous to have. Not because you shouldn’t have them, but because once others know you do, or if people (like the government) come looking, you’re no longer just someone who prepped. You’re now someone with a target on your back. In every major disaster, whether it’s war, economic collapse, or just the aftermath of a natural disaster, a pattern emerges. The same categories of items get taken by…
Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadMost people who build a survival kit follow a familiar and typical checklist: knife, water filter, first aid kit, flashlight, shelter. And they should. But once those bases are covered, the average kit starts to fall short. Not because it’s missing gear, but because it’s missing situationally useful gear—stuff that actually makes your life easier when things don’t go as planned. This episode isn’t about the obvious gear. It’s about the tools most people overlook. The tools that make the difference between just getting by and actually being able to function when everything goes…
