The number of teens in Florida illegally carrying a firearm has increased dramatically over the past twenty years, at least according to a new study. Published in the journal Pediatrics this week, the study from academics at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus’s Injury and Violence Prevention Center looked at responses to the Florida Youth Substance Abuse Survey From 2002 to 2022, Florida adolescent general handgun carrying increased by 65% (3.7% to 6.0%) but handgun carrying in school decreased by 60% (1.1% to 0.4%). Female, middle school, and white students contributed substantially to the increase…
My grid-down hygiene hack: before every hurricane I’ve experienced, I always line my bathtub with a plastic liner and fill it with water. That’s because there is always a chance that you will lose water in a disaster. That’s not the only thing that can be disrupted: you may also not be able to wash your hands or flush your toilet, so you will have to improvise. Maintaining hygiene is super important when the grid goes down. Poor sanitation quickly leads to the spread of illnesses, infections, and diseases, especially in crowded or small living environments, such as apartments. Make…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream under the title: Playing God: As Humanity Faces A Catastrophic Fertility Crisis, Scientists Are Creating “Synthetic Human DNA” From Scratch Will the elite soon be able to order “designer babies” that are free from all genetic abnormalities and all genetic diseases because they have been created in a lab using “synthetic human DNA”? I realize that this may sound absolutely crazy to many of you, but we are dangerously close to such a scenario becoming a reality. Mad scientists that are extremely well funded are…
New Jersey isn’t just anti-gun. They’re downright hostile toward gun ownership. As I’ve mentioned before, I once joked to our own John Petrolino that he should move from the Garden State to a freer state, such as Illinois or Massachusetts. The fact that it might have been a joke but it wasn’t necessarily wrong, is troubling. And they’ve just gotten worse since I made that quip.Now, they charge $200 for a permit to carry, which is insane.Sure, Englishtown is giving people most of the fees back, which is great news. I mentioned in that piece…

Nazis were gaining an ever-tighter grip on the people of Germany. Tales of their foreign atrocities and the evidence of the tyranny that the German people were now living under became clear. A monument of replica White Rose resistance leaflets outside of Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Bavaria, Germany. (Photo: Sirithana Tiranardvanich/Dreamstime.com) As these events unfolded, more and more German citizens began to realize the horror of their situation. Frankly, not many Germans saw the bigger picture — but there were some, and among them, the White Rose. Table of ContentsLoading… Budding of the White Rose Hans and Sophie…
There seems to be an industry-wide effort in the media to manufacture consent against gun ownership, whether it’s Hollywood inserting anti-concealed carry plotlines into TV shows, actors/directors/producers demanding less portrayal of firearms in the movies, or Fox News starting to push gun control. It almost reminds me of the run-up to the Iraq War in 2002. There was overwhelming propaganda in the press at that time, and those of us who knew right away that the claims of Iraqi WMDs and a Saddam–Bin Laden link were claptrap were ignored, ridiculed, and sometimes even called traitors and America-haters. Yet another gun…

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iran’s navy seized a Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday heading to the U.S. amid wider tensions over Tehran’s nuclear program, the latest-such capture in a waterway crucial for global energy supplies. The U.S. Navy’s Mideast-based 5th Fleet identified the vessel as the Advantage Sweet. Satellite tracking data for the vessel from MarineTraffic.com showed it in the Gulf of Oman, just north of Oman’s capital, Muscat, on Thursday afternoon. It had just come from Kuwait and listed its destination as Houston. The Advantage Sweet issued a distress call at 1:15…
UVALDE, Texas — Nearly a year after a gunman opened fire inside an Uvalde, Texas elementary school, the Department of Justice told victims’ families it’s still determining how law enforcement failed them. Vanita Gupta, a DOJ associate attorney general and the No. 3 official in the federal agency, met with families in a closed-door meeting Wednesday night to update them on its investigation. DOJ began its investigation soon after the May 24, 2022, school shooting massacre in which a gunman armed with an AR-15 rifle killed 19 children and two teachers; 17 people were also injured. Law enforcement at the scene…
By Lee Williams Joe Biden, the most anti-gun President in the history of the United States, is 80 years old, suffers from advanced dementia, and has trouble reading from a teleprompter, much less comprehending what he’s saying. He makes up stories in which he always appears in the starring role, even though everyone knows they’re lies. And he tends to wander off if left unsupervised, which is why the First Lady leads him around like a puppy. Therefore, if Biden is going to beat the GOP challenger, regardless of who’s nominated, he will need serious help. Yesterday, the legacy media…
Few people would deny that the City of Brotherly Love has a serious issue with crime. Philadelphia had more than 500 homicides last year, and lesser crimes are soaring as well, with police already recording more car thefts in the first four months of the year than the entirety of 2019. Instead of focusing on those criminal offenders or the policies of D.A. Larry Krasner, who’s overall conviction rate for violent crimes stood at just 33% last year, the Democrats now in control of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives are intent on pushing a series of gun control measures aimed at…

Paracord is so insanely versatile that it’s no surprise when it shows up on every single survival kit checklist. Parachute cord first became available to civilians after WWII as surplus. Hikers, outdoorsmen, and (of course) survivalists have all come to embrace paracord for its many uses. Since its first MILSPEC construction, there are many more types on the market ranging from recreational Type I 95-pound paracord to heavy-duty Type IV 750-pound paracord. The ever-popular Type III paracord hits the sweet spot of cost and function, so that is what we reviewed the most when we were looking for the all-around…
Folks in Louisville are still reeling from the deadly attack at a bank in their fair city. A number of families lost someone, but I suspect it might be hardest for the killer’s family. After all, while others are processing the suddenness of what happened, they have the added burden of knowing their loved one perpetrated the attack. The fact that we now can call it domestic terrorism likely doesn’t help them sleep easily at night. Now, though, the Louisville killer’s parents are joining their dead son in pushing for gun control. The parents of the Louisville gunman who killed five people at…
