A coordinated cyberattack targeted more than 30 community water systems across Minnesota on July 26 and 27, but the story did not stop at the Minnesota state line. By Thursday, July 30, the FBI was warning that water and wastewater utilities in at least seven states had reported similar incidents. Some of those attacks did more than knock out a ...

Pull up almost any 20- or 30-year emergency food list and you will see the same collection of staples: wheat, white rice, corn, sugar, dried beans, pasta, rolled oats, potato flakes, powdered milk and dehydrated vegetables. Properly packaged and stored under the right conditions, some of these foods can remain usable for decades. That part is not necessarily wrong. What ...

A U.S. serviceman in Vietnam with an early M16. There were many stories of soldiers and Marines having ...

Before we get into what happened in Boulder City, let’s name the thing correctly. ~MAGA SOCIALISM~ The federal government took land supposedly owned by the American public, shut that same public out of the decision, and handed the property to a private investment fund out of Texas.

As of July 17, 2026, the crowdsourced DeFlock map had located 95,923 Flock Safety cameras in the United States. That’s about 83% of every automated license plate reader volunteers have managed to find. Volunteers. That’s who’s counting.

For some, this really isn’t an option for various reasons, and they need their shirt tucked in. A tucked-in shirt doesn’t have to mean leaving your EDC at home. With the right holster, belt, and shirt ...

Everybody who preps spends their first dollars in the wrong place. Water filters, food buckets, a generator, maybe a gun and a few boxes of ammo. All good. All necessary. But almost nobody preps for the thing that’s actually going to try to hurt them, and it isn’t the hurricane, the blackout, the earthquake, or the empty grocery store. It’s ...

In the summer of 1918, a new fighter ascended in the German Air Combat Forces, or Luftstreitkräfte, boasting a level of performance that would outpace any of Anthony Fokkers’ famous designs.

The Washington Post ran a story this morning about a desert town that came within weeks of dry taps, with a warning that others are lined up behind it. The town is Kearny, Arizona. Two thousand people in Pinal County, about an hour and a half southeast of Phoenix, built in the 1950s to house the crews working the Ray ...

The first brass casings struck the concrete with a loud pinging sound, and I couldn’t help but smile. Nothing beats a real side-by-side comparison. Spec sheets and press releases can only tell you so much. The real answers come when you put rounds downrange. The Hellcat Pro Comp “stock” gun is an amazing pistol. Does it benefit from the custom ...
