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…

Learn More Any piece of gear has its fans and its detractors — and that includes the magnetic carabiner launched by Black Diamond back in 2012. But in the case of the Magnetron, the “fans” just happen to include some of the greatest climbers of all time. It’s the favorite locking carabiner of Free Solo‘s Alex Honnold, and an example of “perfect engineering,” according to British crusher Hazel Findlay. An auto-locking carabiner that uses magnets instead of screw gates, the Magnetron is also prized for its light…
I wish I could say I was surprised, but I’m not. While I enjoyed all the time I ever spent in the city of Chicago, that was when I was 20 and loved the overall excitement of such a famous city. It was also not something I’d want to repeat now, even without all the crime, but the crime certainly doesn’t help. Neither does the gun control that was supposed to stop all that crime. Obviously, it hasn’t. Despite decades of anti-gun efforts by Illinois lawmakers, mostly from Chicago itself, the gun laws have not done…
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…
Last year, Caroline Himbert set the unsupported fastest known time (FKT) of the John Muir Trail (JMT) in dramatic fashion. She passed out after extreme hallucinations, woke up, and managed to race on, beating the FKT on the 223-mile trail by just 8 minutes. Himbert recently took on the JMT record again, this time beating it by a huge margin, cementing her status as one of the reigning crushers of the JMT. What Is the John Muir Trail? The John Muir Trail is one of California’s most scenic — and challenging — backpacking trails, crossing both Mt. Whitney and Yosemite Valley.…
Singapore-based studio Garena has just announced Palworld Online, a new, officially licensed spinoff that will bring the creature-collecting survival crafting experience to iOS and Android devices. Though an exact release date hasn’t been given just yet, Palworld Online is set to launch sometime in 2026. Released in early access in January 2024, Palworld has come a long way in the last two and a half years. With just over 40 updates under its belt, Palworld is naturally a much bigger and better game than it initially was. That’s never been truer than it is right now, with Palworld finally receiving…
Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadYou’ve probably seen lists like this before. “Top 10 Places to Be Looted When It All Goes Down.” The problem is, most of them read like they were written by someone who’s never lived through anything harder than a power outage. They recycle the same shallow talking points and leave you no smarter than when you clicked. That’s not what this is. This list isn’t just a run-down of obvious targets—it’s a decision-making tool. Each of these locations ties directly into your own choices, your own safety, and how you prioritize what you do…
This article was originally published by Frank Shostak at The Mises Institute. According to the Washington Times from June 10, 2026, the US President Donald Trump brushed off the rising inflation number—i.e., the yearly growth rate of the consumer price index (CPI)—which jumped to 4.2 percent in May from 3.8 percent in April. “No, I love it. The numbers were great. You know what I really love? I love the inflation,” Mr. Trump said in the Oval Office. The US President may be expressing a view that is popular in economics. By this way of thinking, the policy of price stability does…
Papercrete was invented in the 1920s, but it was so easy to make, no one bought it. Papercrete has been used to build homes, walls, fences, and is easily formed into any object from flowerpots to furniture. The biggest advantage of papercrete is that it’s lightweight but sturdy enough to bear loads. It also has excellent insulating properties with an R-value of R2 per inch. Better yet, you can use regular hand tools and power tools to saw it, drill it, and you can even pound nails into it. Want to save this post for later? Click Here to Pin…
Tent camping under the stars will always have its own allure. At the same time, getting to sleep in a real bed at the end of a long day of hiking is often a welcome luxury. If you love hiking and want to explore nature — but don’t like sleeping on the ground — hut-to-hut hikes are worth a try. For some wilderness areas, these backcountry huts are the only sleep option while exploring scenic trails. They also offer the advantage of packing lighter and moving faster, since you won’t need as much gear. We rounded up the seven best…
The state of Washington has passed a number of gun control bills in recent years, and most of them were sold to the public as being essential for public safety. That’s how gun control is always marketed, of course, and when it fails to deliver, it’s always a case of how we just need more of what didn’t work. And, frankly, anti-gunners don’t care if it works or not. We know that because as soon as they notch a legislative victory, they don’t hold off and see what works and what doesn’t. They just pick…
A U.S. Army sergeant who used a handgun last summer to shoot five individuals, including his then-fiancé, at Fort Stewart was convicted of attempted murder charges. Sgt. Quornelius Radford, 29, was found guilty of his Aug. 6, 2025, actions by a military judge at the Georgia-based Fort Stewart who delivered the verdict in the court-martial, according to sources including the Associated Press and local outlets. Army prosecutors originally accused Radford of targeting leaders of his supply unit when he used a personal handgun in August 2025 to open fire, wounding four fellow soldiers and his then-fiancé, Raekwon Smith. In March,…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadImagine the grid goes dark during a solar storm. Your freezer hums to silence, and the fridge light no longer greets you. Instead of scrambling or second-guessing, you have a plan—one that guides you on what to eat first, second, and beyond, all while keeping your family fed, healthy, and calm. That’s the power of the P.A.C.E.S. Food Plan. Most preparedness planning conversations revolve around P.A.C.E.—Primary, Alternate, Contingency, Emergency—a military-derived framework to ensure redundancy. But if your grid fails for weeks, months, or longer, you’ll need exactly what we as preppers say… more. More food,…
Forget pickup trucks or hypercars, the real driving force of vehicle innovation since 1984 has been the minivan. Especially the Chrysler minivan. Now CarBuzz has found a new patent from the people carrier experts that could make the company’s only model more flexible than ever. New Seat Idea Lets You Slide Back, Flip It, Or Reverse It Credit: Stellantis The patent is called Cross-Car and Fore-Aft Positionable Seating System. It’s a dull name, but the result makes even the modularity of Lego bricks look like child’s play. Stellantis engineers have invented a system of tracks that are installed in the floor…
