Depression diagnosis rates surged from 3.33% to 17.8% among Americans between 1992 and 2025. Pharmaceutical industry funding creates a conflict of interest with FDA regulatory oversight.

While I won’t say that everyone believes you have a right to self-defense, most of the vocal anti-gunners will at least claim that you do. They say they’re not trying to stop you from protecting yourself, you see, but they’re all experts on self-defense, apparently, and what you need and don’t need for the task, and you don’t need more than a certain amount of ammo, don’t need certain weapons, and don’t need anything but a certain group of products that they’re also trying to restrict. Luckily, there are less lethal options like stun guns,…

Military members have the option to convert their active-duty Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance (SGLI) to Veterans’ Group Life Insurance (VGLI) after leaving the service. What is Veterans’ Group Life Insurance? VGLI is a life insurance program that allows service members to convert their SGLI coverage to term life insurance that is renewable every five years. Members with full-time SGLI coverage are eligible for VGLI when they leave the service. VGLI, like SGLI, is overseen by the Department of Veterans Affairs but administered by the Office of Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance. What Are VGLI Coverage Amounts? VGLI coverage is issued in…

Bear-safe storage is an absolute necessity when headed into certain parts of the backcountry, but as someone who doesn’t go into bear country much, my primary concern on backpacking trips is always rodents and other critters. There’s nothing worse than waking up to find that a squirrel has gotten into your food bag and made off with your precious snacks. Classic bear canisters provide protection from both bears and critters, but they’re heavy, bulky, and take up way too much valuable space in packs. Luckily, there’s a new solution on the market. Adotec recently released a soft-sided food storage bag…

A new Pokemon and Razer collaboration is underway, which has introduced a new set of gaming peripherals and accessories themed upon Espeon and Umbreon. Pokemon fans can pick up everything from mousepads to headsets with special art featuring the popular pair of Eeveelutions. A long time has come and gone since Eevee’s last new evolution was added to the franchise, but it hasn’t impacted the love fans have for the Pokemon. While it wasn’t one of the original starters and wasn’t heavily featured in the original TV anime, fans love the creature for its cuteness and the numerous versions it…

Independence Day is, unfortunately, a busy day for hospital emergency rooms, and not just because someone blew off part of their hand with some fireworks they bought from some dude in a travel trailer in a Publix parking lot. No, violence is all too common for some reason, only part of which can be attributed to the heat. But it happens regardless of the laws on the books.I’ve long wondered if anti-gunners are living in their own world, considering just how often they act like those laws are working, even if the violent crime rate…

Oil prices have surged as the United States and Iran have reignited their war. The US ruling class revoked a two-month sanctions waiver and renewed strikes against the Islamic Republic after reported tanker attacks in the Strait of Hormuz. According to the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), an unidentified projectile struck a tanker off the coast of Oman, causing a fire on board. The WSJ reported that one of the damaged vessels may have been the Al Rekayyat, a tanker owned by Qatar’s Nakilat. The vessel reportedly sustained damage near its engine room, while all crew members remained safe. Axios…

Now that the Supreme Court has agreed to address bans on “assault weapons,” I think there’s a very good chance that those bans will have been deemed unconstitutional this time next year.  We know that the gun control lobby isn’t just going to accept defeat, anymore than they did when “may issue” concealed carry permitting schemes were struck down in Bruen four years ago. States like New York, New Jersey, and Hawaii responded to the fact that they could no longer deny permits to almost everyone who applied by making it impossible for anyone with a…

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said the United States would probably launch further strikes on Iran and could resume a blockade on the country’s ports, ratcheting up pressure on Tehran and raising the prospect of a return to all-out war. “We hit them very hard last night,” Trump said Wednesday on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey. “Probably hit them hard again tonight.” Trump spoke hours after the U.S. launched strikes on Iran, with almost 40 fighter jets — F-35s, F-15s, F-16s and F/A-18s as well as drones — hitting targets with precision-guided weapons, according to a…

New York governor Kathy Hochul was one of those politicians who was pro-gun when it was convenient for her, then flipped like a switch when she decided to run for statewide office. We know this is what she truly wants, versus just being politically acceptable, because of how much attention she focuses on it while there are actual problems in her state. She and her fellow travelers like to pretend that gun control works swimmingly. In fact, find an anti-gunner who will admit that gun control doesn’t work. Go on, I dare ya.Obviously, anyone who…
