Oil lamps have been around for thousands of years, and they haven’t completely given way to modern lighting technology. Their low-tech appeal can bring ambiance to a table or provide lighting during power outages and emergencies. There is a range of sizes, brands, and features to consider when you’re looking for the best oil lamp.I bought several oil lamps to test and add to my collection, and I’ve been reviewing them for several years now. I measured their light output with a light meter, verified their oil capacity with measuring cups, and used them both indoors and deep in the…

Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev went to Iceland in October 1986 expecting two days of talks. By the end of the weekend, the leaders of the United States and the Soviet Union were discussing something almost unthinkable at the height of the Cold War: getting rid of their nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, for the world, the deal fell apart. That historical weekend is the subject of The Brink of War, a new political drama opening in theaters Aug. 14. Jeff Daniels plays Reagan opposite Jared Harris as Gorbachev, with J.K. Simmons as Secretary of State George Shultz and Hope Davis as…

Soldiers of the 1st Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment, stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state, are usually preparing for large-scale combat operations in the Pacific. This month, they are digging fire break lines on a mountainside in eastern Washington, trying to keep a wildfire from reaching the homes below. About 240 of them are now assigned to the Modrite Fire, a lightning-sparked blaze burning on the Colville Reservation near the town of Inchelium, along the banks of Lake Roosevelt. They spend their days the way the civilian crews around them do. First, it’s morning briefings, then moving to the…

More than 300 members of the House support it. More than three-quarters of the Senate support its companion bill. Republicans support it. Democrats support it. Major veterans organizations support it. Yet thousands of combat-injured veterans have spent years waiting for Congress to fix a problem nearly everyone seems to agree should be fixed. The Major Richard Star Act would allow certain veterans whose military careers were cut short by combat-related injuries to receive both military retirement pay and Department of Veterans Affairs disability compensation without the offset they face today. For nearly 59,000 medically retired veterans receiving Combat-Related Special Compensation,…
Welcome to the Golden Era Initial jobless claims just did something they haven’t done since 1969. New filings for unemployment benefits dropped to 187,000 for the week ending July 18 — a nearly 57-year low, and a much bigger drop than economists expected. Wall Street spend time debating whether this is “good” or “bad” news for the Fed. I think both sides are missing the real story. This isn’t a cyclical blip. It’s demographics finally showing up in the data. Birth rates across the developed world — the U.S., Europe, Japan, China, South Korea — have been falling for decades,…
What Happened in 2026 So Far Gold has had an insane time this decade. Six years ago, in January 2020, gold’s price was $1,500/ounce. During the Covid-19 March Panic, the price was fell to $1,418 on March 18th, only to surge to a record high of $2,075/oz in August 2020, breaching the seemingly impossible $2,000/ounce benchmark, which many thought would never be done. In August 2020, just as gold hits this incredible new milestone, interest rates bottom. When I say that they bottom, I mean that they have gone near those levels again and who knows if they ever will.…
