In the prepper community, there are several sayings or mottos, such as, “Two is one and one is none.” In other words, it’s a good idea to have multiple backups of important items. Another prepper principle is to substitute singular items for ones that can be multipurpose. Why are we bringing this up? Because it has to do with today’s topic of finding alternatives to everyday items.Imagine if you will, that some big event has happened such as a pandemic or war, and it has affected the world supply chain or at least the supply chain of your country.

There is no shortage of massage guns on the market. You can find massagers that range in price from $50 to well over $500, but they’re all fairly similar in form and function. For the most part, every massager you’ll find is vaguely shaped like a gun and uses percussive force to massage muscle tissue. The Rally Orbital Massager ($499) breaks this trend with a unique wand-shaped design and, more importantly, an amazing rotational motion instead of percussion. In lieu of the usual handle-and-barrel style, the Rally is somewhat shaped like a Maglite flashlight, featuring a handle and a thicker…
When it comes to people saying things that I know to be wrong, I tend to assume the mistake was made in good faith. I don’t want to say people are lying just because they’re wrong. There’s a difference between the two, and it’s an important one. To lie, one has to be aware of the truth and choose to say something they know to be false. If they’re unaware of the truth, it’s not a lie. They’re just wrong.If they don’t believe the truth, it’s not a lie. They’re just wrong. Very wrong.But a…
Multiple groups filed a lawsuit today seeking the immediate release of an Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) opinion and other documents related to the Trump administration’s lethal strikes on civilian boats in international waters, claiming that previous Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and other governmental documents have not been honored within statutory guidelines.The complaint, filed today in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), and the New York Civil Liberties Union, seeks the immediate release of a legal opinion authored by…
This article was originally published by Willow Tohi at Natural News. A CDC advisory panel voted to end the universal recommendation that all newborns receive a hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of birth. For infants born to mothers who test negative for hepatitis B, the decision is now one of “individual-based decision-making” between parents and doctors. The change follows scrutiny of the vaccine’s necessity for low-risk infants and criticism of its original safety trials, which lasted only days. The policy had been in place since 1991, despite hepatitis B primarily being a risk for adults through specific behaviors or…
A 100% service-connected disabled veteran receiving benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs said he pays nothing for his medical care, dental, vision or prescriptions. So when he got his Medicare Part B card in the mail, he had questions: Could he keep his VA benefits? Would Medicare cover prescriptions the VA doesn’t? What about dental?The roughly 300,000 veterans who turn 65 each year may share his confusion. With Medicare Part B premiums jumping to $202.90 per month in 2026, understanding what you actually need matters.Medicare and VA Don’t Work TogetherHere’s the most important thing to understand: Medicare and VA benefits…

While getting stuck in muck is rare — it does occasionally happen. An experienced hiker found that out the hard way in Arches National Park on Sunday, when a normal day on the trail turned into a scary ordeal. Austin Dirks, 33, was walking through the upper end of the park’s Courthouse Wash area just before sunrise when his left leg broke through what he assumed was solid ground. He was able to remove his leg, only to step more firmly onto the right leg, which felt like he “had stepped into concrete,” according to an interview with local news station…
Saying that gun rights are civil rights shouldn’t be controversial. After all, most of what we term as civil liberties are enshrined in the Bill of Rights, from freedom of speech and religion to protection against illegal search and seizure, and many others. The Second Amendment is smack dab in the middle of all of those. Saying the right to keep and bear arms is a civil right isn’t controversial; it’s obvious. But some people can’t seem to wrap their gray matter around that.Among them are some critics of the Department of Justice actually treating…

Jeffrey Beggs) A new kind of face appears on the battlefield, as soldiers use the ENVG III night vision device. It’s interesting to see it mounted outside a gas mask, but train as you fight I guess.

More than a half million veteran claims have been filed under the PACT Act, the landmark legislation passed last year that eased requirements for many veterans exposed to burn pits and other battlefield pollutants to apply for disability benefits, the Department of Veterans Affairs said Wednesday. The Department of Veterans Affairs has so far processed more than 203,000 of those 500,000 PACT Act claims, resulting in more than $1 billion in compensation, with additional funds expected to be allocated as it works through all of the applications. “We’re proud that 500,000-plus veterans and survivors have applied for their hard-earned benefits…
Think for a moment about where you go to vote. Is it a church or a school in a nice, safe part of town, or is it in a part of your community that’s a little sketchy? Truth be told, I’ve dealt with both in my life. Voting is important, though, so I take the risk. In some states, those with such concerns can carry a firearm to the polls. Still others may openly carry a firearm to make some kind of a point and do so at the polls for whatever reason. But in Michigan, some want to ban…
Brownells introduced their Match Precision Optics (MPO) line of scopes a few years ago, and that line has grown to include a few low-power variable optics (LPVO). They announced a new 1-6×24 model at SHOT 2022. It recently became available for purchase and is the subject of this review. Brownells @ TFB: As always, disclosures are an essential part of a review. I was lucky enough to shoot the MPO 1-6×24 at SHOT 2022 and it left a good initial impression on me. Brownells was kind enough to provide the scope to me for this review. This is my second review…
The Army is unlikely to change its new physical fitness test despite Congress recently passing a law pressing the service to establish gender-neutral standards, according to two sources with knowledge of the plans. The annual defense authorization bill passed in December directed the Army to set the same fitness standards for men and women by June. Last month, Army Secretary Christine Wormuth told lawmakers on Capitol Hill that the service had already established gender-neutral expectations for troops, but was vague about the specific standards to which she referred. The service won’t be making additional changes to the Army Combat Fitness…
DADEVILLE, Ala. — At least 89 rounds were fired in the shootout that killed four people at a girl’s Sweet 16 party in Alabama, a witness testified Tuesday.Responding officers also found that a gun appeared to have been placed on the chest of one of the victims after death, Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Special Agent Jess Thornton said.Five of the six suspects in the April 15 shooting in Dadeville made their first court appearances Tuesday. Thornton testified as a judge determines possible bail for suspects Johnny Letron Brown, 20, of Tuskegee; Willie George Brown Jr., 19, of Auburn; and LaMar Hill…
Consider this a follow up to today’s Bearing Arms’ Cam & Co, where we discussed armed school staff with FASTER Colorado’s Laura Carno. According to the school safety advocate, interest in the program is soaring in Colorado in the wake of the Covenant School shootings in Nashville, but clearly the strategy is growing in popularity in other states as well. Texas already allows for school districts to put armed staff members in place through either the School Marshal or Guardian programs, but a bill that sailed through the state House this week would make an armed response mandatory on every…

This article was originally published by Lance D. Johnson at Natural News. Now that human beings are learning to reject mRNA vaccine experiments and associated biological warfare, there is a new global agenda that seeks to inject animals with mRNA bioweapons and taint the food supply with genetic weaponry. Animals cannot give consent, so they are the perfect vessels to experiment on. Animals are also the perfect vessels to reach humans who no longer consent to this experimental genetic weaponry en masse. Vaccines have been transfecting humans with animal viruses for decades The history of vaccination has proven animal cells to…
The states of the Northeast often are less likely to support the Second Amendment than many other parts of the nation. As such, we shouldn’t be surprised that Delaware is considering further restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms for the residents of the state. But man, this one is really bad. The bill under consideration in the General Assembly would mandate all licensed firearm dealers and unlicensed sellers to require prospective buyers to first present a valid permit. To obtain a permit, people would need to get fingerprinted by the state and take an approved course in…
The Department of Veterans Affairs will have a full-time benefits chief for the first time in two years after the Senate confirmed President Joe Biden’s pick for the job. In a Wednesday afternoon vote of 74-25, the Senate approved Joshua Jacobs to take the role of the VA’s under secretary for benefits. In that job, Jacobs will lead the Veterans Benefits Administration, or VBA, which manages about $135 billion worth of disability compensation and other non-medical benefits for 350,000 veterans or their survivors.
