This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog under the title: Oil Production In The Persian Gulf Has Fallen 57 Percent From Pre-War Levels – Rationing And Shortages Are Coming They aren’t telling you the truth about what is coming. Even if the Strait of Hormuz reopens tomorrow, and there is no way that is going to happen, oil production will not return to pre-war levels for years. In other words, we are facing an extended global energy crisis no matter what happens now. Of course, if the fighting resumes and more oil and gas…

Since the Virginia General Assembly approved a revised version of the bill last week, there’s been a whole lot of confusion about Virginia’s HB 1525, which raises the age to purchase handguns from 18 to 21 and requires the Virginia State Police to resume conducting background checks on private sales. Governor Abigail Spanberger’s amended version contained language that declared the act an emergency, which would allow it to take effect immediately, but the legislature did not approve the changes with a 4/5ths vote, which is supposedly what’s required in order for that “emergency” provision to be adopted. …
Images by the author Most red dots today are built around one goal: lighter and smaller. The Griffin GHS goes in the opposite direction. It’s heavier. It’s overbuilt. And the second you pick it up, you know it’s not trying to compete with minimalist optics. The real question is simple: Does that extra weight actually give you something in return? Features and Specifications Here’s a good place to list those… Features 3 MOA Dot Reticle 1 MOA Adjustment Increments 10 Brightness Settings (8 Daytime, 2 NV) Parallax Set at 25yds Flip-Up Plastic Lens Covers Integrated Picatinny Mount (Co-Witness Height) Shockproof…
President Donald Trump signed H.J. Res. 140 into law Monday, officially ending the 20-year federal mining withdrawal on 225,504 acres of Superior National Forest land near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The White House confirmed the signing on April 27. The resolution disapproves Public Land Order 7917, the 2023 Bureau of Land Management order that withdrew National Forest System lands in Cook, Lake, and Saint Louis counties from mineral and geothermal leasing for 20 years. That means the Biden-era land protection is now overturned. It also means the fight over mining near one of the country’s most visited wilderness…
There’s a familiar script in the gun debate: “You can take this gun from my cold dead hands.” “Guns are the foundation of American freedom.” “What part of shall not be infringed do you not understand?” “What part of well-regulated militia do you not understand?” “Your gun fetish is tearing America apart.” If you’ve spent five minutes anywhere near this issue, you’ve heard it all before. That’s exactly how David Yamane opens his recent TED Talk (see below), by throwing both sides’ talking points right in your face. “Some of you fall on the gun rights side… some of you…

The Third Circuit Court of Appeals heard the combined Koons and Seigel cases en banc on Feb. 11, and I was in the courtroom to watch the oral arguments in person. Plaintiffs’ Attorneys may have bested the state, leaving interveners with crossed fingers. As previously reported, the full Third Circuit Court of Appeals reheard the consolidated Koons and Seigel cases via an en banc review. The arguments went just over an hour and while the bellwethers on which way the judges will decide are unknown, if you’re counting points on every glove laid, liberty will…
According to a peer-reviewed study conducted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), children who received the Moderna COVID-19 “vaccine” have a much higher risk of a febrile seizure within a day of vaccination. Among children aged 2 to 4, the risk was approximately 2.5 times higher, according to the report published on February 4th in Vaccine. Flu Vaccines Are Neither Safe Nor Effective Febrile seizures are convulsions most often caused by fevers that are triggered by infections related to common childhood illnesses. These seizures typically occur in children 6 months to 5 years old, and when they have a…
New Mexico is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been in my life. For years, I hoped to retire to either there or Arizona and just soak up the beauty. I didn’t even realize how much I’d love the area until I visited. But now, I wouldn’t live there for all the money in the world.After all, who would want to live in a state that elected a governor who thought she could just suspend the Second Amendment in a city, basically? That was smacked down, thankfully, but that doesn’t mean lawmakers there aren’t…
What state is the most hostile to our Second Amendment rights? There are several states in the running, but I might have to give the nod to Hawaii. In his latest legal filing, attorney Alan Beck notes that Hawaii County alone has settled seven lawsuits that challenge various gun control laws since the Bruen decision came down 3 1/2 years ago. Number eight may be on the horizon. Beck, who’s also taking on Hawaii’s ‘vampire rule” in Wolford v. Lopez, is once again suing the county; this time for taking longer than forty days to process…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog under the title: Optimism About The Future Plunges To An All-Time Record Low, And Credit Card Debt Soars To An All-Time Record High As long as you have hope, you can face whatever challenges are ahead. Sadly, Americans have been losing hope at a rate that is absolutely unprecedented. As you will see below, optimism about the future has fallen to the lowest level ever recorded. One of the biggest reasons why people are losing hope is because we have been in a historic cost-of-living crisis for almost this…
President Donald Trump has pulled the United States out of the World Health Organization. Considering what a trainwreck WHO was during the COVID fiasco, I can’t say that I blame him, though a lot of others heavily criticized the move. WHO doesn’t acknowledge the United States’ ability to leave the organization, but since there’s not a lot they can do about anything, I’m not losing sleep over it. Yet if Trump hadn’t pulled us out of the WHO, it might be a fine time to consider it, at least if the organization listens to a…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadOn a bitterly cold morning—when the pipes freeze up, and the faucets stop running—the reality of frozen plumbing hits fast. That was my experience last Saturday morning, with wind chills in the negative double digits. First thing in the morning, I noticed the toilet sounded odd. There was no water filling the tank after it was flushed. That’s when it hit me—”Great, my pipes must be frozen.” Up until that moment, I’d never dealt with frozen pipes, so the question popped into my head: “Okay, so my pipes are frozen, now what do I…
