JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. (AP) — President Donald Trump on Friday showed off the new Air Force One, a formerly Qatari-owned jumbo jet that has been converted into the official U.S. presidential aircraft. The new aircraft eschews the Kennedy-era robin’s egg blue exterior of the old plane for a bolder look, with the underbelly of the plane painted navy blue with a red stripe above it. The plane’s left side, where the president boards, features the presidential seal, while the tail of the aircraft has a massive American flag on it. “This plane was transformed into a flying White House…

If you’ve ever wondered what a long-term blackout would feel like—not as a prepper, but as an ordinary person—this movie gets close. Into the Forest doesn’t start with panic. It starts with normal. And then quietly chips away at it. That’s what makes it effective. Whether you’re into preparedness or not, this is a film that takes its time and pulls you into the emotional side of survival. It’s about the small decisions. The things people ignore. And how fast comfort disappears when systems fail. When the grid fails, there’s no siren. No explosion. Just silence. That’s the quiet threat…
WASHINGTON (AP) — The question hangs in the halls at the Capitol: Was it worth it? Congress, which never authorized the war against Iran yet never fully objected to it, now must grapple with the consequences of President Donald Trump’s nearly four-month conflict: the lives lost, the billions spent and the national security fallout that has reordered the political dynamics in the Middle East. Ask senators what they think about the deal Trump struck to end the war, and they do not search too far for words. “Pathetic. Failure. Inevitable conclusion of a combination of never making the case to…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadOn September 1, 1859, auroras lit up the night sky. Telegraph lines sparked. Operators were shocked at their keys. The world had just experienced the Carrington Event—the most powerful solar storm ever recorded. If that same storm happened today, we wouldn’t be talking about fried telegraphs. We’d face the potential loss of the power grid and nearly every aspect of modern life that depends on electricity. That’s why, on this Carrington anniversary and the kickoff of National Preparedness Month, I’m re-releasing my conversation with NASA engineer and EMP expert Dr. Arthur Bradley. Dr. Bradley…
Once upon a time, alcohol was banned in this country. It didn’t stop people from drinking it, but it was considered so bad for people that a constitutional amendment was ratified to ban booze. It didn’t last long, thankfully, but the truth of the matter is that it caused irreparable harm to the country. While marijuana isn’t the same as a good bottle of bourbon, the Supreme Court ruled that recreational users of illicit substances shouldn’t be subjected to a lifetime ban from gun ownership. One would imagine this should count as common sense, and…
The New Jersey Permit to Carry Dashboard that’s been available since 2024 stuttered between gubernatorial administrations. While the system was on pause a bill that would force transparency was reintroduced. In 2023 former Attorney General Matthew Platkin issued a directive that forced the reporting on permit-to-carry application statistics. Previously reported, Black permit-to-carry applicants were getting denied more than double their white counterparts for non-criminal and subjective reasons. It also revealed that the majority of all denials across the board were for subjective reasons that go against NYSRPA v. Bruen. Last year lawmakers introduced a bill…

Despite a federal court vacating the Biden-era pistol brace rule, the ATF says it never stopped enforcing its underlying legal interpretation — and it’s not planning to. A bombshell court filing submitted March 16 in a Southern District of Texas case has gun owners and Second Amendment advocates sounding the alarm: the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has quietly admitted in federal court that it continues to enforce its interpretation that some pistol-brace-equipped firearms are unregistered short-barreled rifles (SBRs) — a federal felony carrying up to 10 years in prison — even though the rule that codified that…

One of the more infuriating parts about the Old Dominion University shooting was finding out that the killer got his gun from someone who’d been arrested for violating gun control laws previously, but no one seemed all that interested in prosecuting him for the crime. They were, however, very interested in twisting what happened in Norfolk, Virginia, that day to make anti-gun talking points. And some of them are real doozies, too.But the problem is that we’ve seen a lot of similar cases over the years, too. That’s especially true over the last few years,…

When a tornado touches down, and the sirens begin to wail, adrenaline kicks in. For many of us, our path to safety is clear: get to the shelter and hunker down. But for the members of our families with difficulty getting around, or acting on their own—children, those with disabilities, and the elderly—that path isn’t always so straightforward. Speed and mobility are usually luxuries during an emergency. Cognitive challenges can make it difficult to process warnings and unfolding events. It’s the limitations of ourselves and those whom we care about that require a different level of preparedness. It requires us…
