Buying and leasing both have their advantages, but the cheaper option depends on how long you plan to keep the vehicle, how much you drive, and whether you’re expecting a PCS, deployment, or other life changes. Before you sign on the dotted line, here’s what military families should consider. How Does Leasing Work? Leasing a vehicle is similar to renting it as you pay a monthly fee for the ability to use the car for a certain amount of time, which is typically two to three years. During that time, your lease agreement will dictate how you can use the…
A climbing rope made entirely from recycled materials has no business handling this well. The Mammut Crag Recycled 9.8mm Dry Rope ($200) looks and feels surprisingly similar to some of the thinner ropes I already own. That caught my attention because it had been a long time since I’d been interested in using a 9.8mm rope. The more experienced I became as a climber, the lighter I wanted my ropes to be. Lighter and thinner ropes have several advantages. They’re easier to feed out of a belay device, faster to clip, and lighter to carry. But they lose points in…
Homicides hit historic lows in 2025, and all indications seem to suggest that we’re going to set a new low here in 2026. That’s fantastic news, especially as this drop has coincided with the fearmongering among anti-gunners following the Bruen decision. The problem is, though, that anti-gunners don’t actually care about reality. All they need is enough of a perception that there’s a problem to sort of justify them doing stupid things, like, say, calling for a special legislative session to pass gun control in one of the most anti-gun states in the nation.The Delaware-based…
Your vehicle’s brakes are its most important safety system, but they’re also one of the easiest components to overlook when something goes wrong. While brake pads and rotors wear over time, your vehicle usually gives you warning signs before braking performance becomes dangerous. Paying attention to unusual noises, changes in pedal feel, or differences in how your vehicle stops can help you catch problems early. Knowing what to look for can help you avoid more expensive repairs – and keep you and your passengers safe on the road. 1. Squealing or Screeching When You Brake A high-pitched squeal when you…
The best running vest is the one you completely forget you’re wearing. I’ve tested dozens of vests over the years, and they usually fall into two traps. They either hold plenty of gear but bounce erratically, or they fit beautifully but lack space for longer efforts. Nathan hits a sweet spot with the VaporAir 4.0 and women’s-specific VaporAiress 4.0 ($160). Instead of just adding pockets, these vests focus on a fit you can change on the go. You can tighten or loosen the rig as your bladder empties, you shed layers, or the terrain changes. I tested the women’s VaporAiress…

This article was originally published by Conner McEleney at The Mises Institute. Many progressives, such as Robert Reich and Kyle Kulinski, argue that the economy needs a universal basic income (UBI) to fix it. Their argument stems from the idea that UBI has no serious flaws, that many studies show success, and that it’s the moral thing to do. An example that these progressives would cite would be the Denver UBI experiment. The study had three groups of people. Group A had $1,000 per month, and Group B had $6,500 for the first month; the other months were $500. Group C had…
New Jersey got slapped down by the Third Circuit, and the majority opinion was written by a Biden-nominated judge. They can’t even blame Trump or the NRA for that one. The thing is, I think anti-gun lawmakers secretly enjoyed it. I think they liked being smacked down to some degree, like they’re really into humiliation or something.Why? Because they seemed to respond to it by dusting off a previous mandatory storage bill that would be smacked down just as hard.New Jersey lawmakers, having just lost badly at the United States Court of Appeals for the…

When people enlist in the military, they swear an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” Part of the Constitution is the Second Amendment, which means the men and women who go into harm’s way for this nation do so, in part, to preserve our right to keep and bear arms. So when I found out that the Department of Veterans Affairs was stripping fellow veterans of their gun rights because they needed financial help, I about lost my damn mind. Nothing about that…
It’s amazing how much wisdom has been lost to the ages. There are so many simple life hacks that used to be common knowledge. In this video, Household Hacker tries out some life hack inserts that were printed over 100 years ago in 1916. These inserts are cards that were sold with packs of cigarettes. There are hundreds of them out there, but this video focuses on seven. The first card is about… Want to save this post for later? Click Here to Pin It On Pinterest! 1.

President Donald Trump has done more for the Second Amendment than any other president in my lifetime, if not in all of American history. If it sounds like adoration or praise, though, we need to understand that the bar was so damn low that you could pole vault it with a toothpick. He’s done some legitimately good things, and Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon has been an absolute champion, taking on terrible laws at the state and local level. Dhillon, via her job as head of the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ, has gone…

The Ford F-150 Lobo is one of the coolest-looking trucks we’ve seen in years. Especially in black. With the sleek horizontal lightbar and the dual exhaust, the design team gives the rig a handsome look. But under the hood, it’s largely the same truck as a standard Ford F-150, with little that makes it a “street truck” beyond the fact that Ford dropped the suspension by a couple of inches. Now, the upcoming Ram 1500 Rumble Bee? There’s a street truck. Especially the 700+ horsepower SRT model, with a supercharged Hemi to challenge anything and everything on the road. There’s…
This article was originally published by Garrison Vance at Natural News. The United States and Israel are actively working to end Jordan’s historic custodianship of Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque complex, according to multiple American, Jordanian, and Palestinian officials as well as Western and Gulf Arab sources. The plan, championed by President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, would replace the Jordanian-backed Islamic Waqf with a new Israeli-created body that would declare the Al-Aqsa Mosque a multi-faith center, sources told Middle East Eye [1]. Under the proposed arrangement, Jews would be granted equal access to the Muslim site…
Wes Cooper had just finished a 10-mile training run on the trails outside of Seattle when he got the call. Two hikers needed rescue. They’d attempted an ambitious 3-mile hike with 3,000 feet of elevation gain and bit off more than they could chew. Darkness had set in before they made it down. Without headlamps and afraid of getting lost, they called Seattle Mountain Rescue (SMR) for help. Cooper hadn’t expected the mission. He was already pretty cooked after his run. So, he grabbed one of SMR’s Hypershell Exoskeletons and jumped in the car. He put them on at the…
Kenneth Dixon has defended this country in uniform, and now the veteran has had to defend himself and his home in Memphis, Tennessee. According to Memphis police, a man named Simeon Pratcher is in custody after breaking in to Dixon’s home earlier this week. It’s not the first time that the veteran has been targeted by thieves. In fact, Pratcher told police that he entered the home through a window that was broken during the last break-in, believing the residence to be unoccupied. It was not. The victim told officers he was sitting in his living room…

Sure, I stroll a golf course a handful of times each summer, but it’s not really my jam. I’m much more into trail running, mountain sports, and, if I’m being honest here, disc golf. So when Vaer sent over details about its latest launch, I scratched my head. Is a golf-oriented, scorekeeping wristwatch a good idea? I started stacking up the specs and considering real-world use.
