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…

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 | DownloadThe need to prep hits people in different ways. For some, it’s a moment during a doom-and-gloom news show. For others, it’s a weird feeling in the gut walking through a grocery store with holes on the shelves. And sometimes, it’s looking at your child and realizing no one’s coming to save you if things go sideways. That moment—when you go from living on autopilot to suddenly seeing the cracks in the system—that’s the beginning of real preparedness. It doesn’t matter if you’ve got no money, no gear, no training. What matters is that…
Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadYou care. That’s why you prep. And if you care enough to be prepared, odds are you also care enough to want the people around you to be ready, too. But here’s the problem: the more you try to help others get ready, the more you risk making yourself their prepping plan. Not their backup plan—their only plan. Suddenly, your good intentions look like a lifeboat, and they’re counting on you to keep them afloat when the world goes sideways. “In my opinion, unprepared neighbors pose the greatest threat. I urged some to prepare,…

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…
For years, veterans advocates have pushed Congress to pass legislation that would expand benefits for combat-injured veterans, increase support for surviving spouses, improve access to care and provide additional assistance to some of the nation’s most severely disabled veterans. Many of those proposals enjoyed overwhelming bipartisan support. Many never became law. Now congressional leaders say they have finally found a way forward. The newly introduced Take Care of America’s Veterans Act combines more than 60 veterans bills into a single package, including the Major Richard Star Act, the Love Lives On Act, expanded benefits for catastrophically disabled veterans, caregiver reforms,…
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…
You are never going to stop the illicit gun trade. I don’t care where you are; bad people are going to want to do bad things, and that includes shooting people they don’t like. There’s a very real part of me that figures if they want to kill each other off, let them. It’s adding much-needed chlorine into the gene pool.Unfortunately, these people don’t just stick to killing one another. All too often, someone innocent gets killed.Gun control advocates would say that’s why we need more regulations. However, when teenagers are exchanging guns in public…
Whether the product of cultural jingoism or good-natured pride in country – especially during its 250th anniversary year – American patriotism seems to be running rampant in popular culture. Ford Custom Garage wants in on the action, celebrating its native country with a special aftersales kit for the 2027 F-250 Super Duty, as well as its F-350 and F-450 siblings. Called the Proud to Honor package, it features boldly patriotic new vehicle graphics, plus a darkened exterior aesthetic that gives the trucks some sinister, aggressive personality. Better still, Ford will donate a portion of the proceeds from every Proud to…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadMost people wait too long. The flames are already on the ridge. The alert comes after you’ve had that gut feeling for hours. And by the time you’re scrambling, you’re already behind. In 2022 alone, more than 3 million Americans had to evacuate their homes. Fires. Floods. Storms. Civil unrest. All kinds of chaos can force you to leave with little warning. But here’s the thing—most people still don’t have a plan. This episode fixes that. It’s a 7-step walkthrough to help you get out—fast, calm, and with everything that matters. Because the only…
A Virginia judge says that the plaintiffs in a case challenging Virginia’s gun and magazine ban set to take effect on July 1 have established the likelihood of irreparable harm if the ban becomes effective and is later determined to be unconstitutional, but refused to issue an injunction that would halt the law from being enforced while litigation continues. The case, known as Curtis v. Katz, is one of four state-level challenges to the impending ban, and the only one to argue that the new prohibitions on the sale, manufacture, and transfer of so-called assault…
