The nuclear arms race began during World War II, with the United States and the U.S.S.R. competing for supremacy for decades after the war’s end. Eventually, several other countries joined in, creating nukes for their own protection from their enemies. However, no country could match the scale of nuclear development of the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. superpowers. Nuclear-armed battleships were ...

I remember when the original Benelli Nova was introduced way back around the year 2000. I’d been hunting ducks with Benelli’s Super Black Eagle since it was released about eight years earlier, and so I was a fan of the company in general, but I didn’t much care for its futuristic-looking polymer pump.

Remember when prepping was a punchline? Preppers were the nutjobs with bunkers and bug-out bags. Cable news laughed. Twitter mocked. But when shelves went bare in 2020 and the system started buckling under its own weight, suddenly people who spent their lives depending on that system wanted to learn how to bake bread and store water. Now, the same people ...

There’s a quiet revolution happening across America—but you won’t hear about it on cable news or from anyone still clinging to the system. Young men are waking up. They’re looking at the price tag of college—$100,000 for a piece of paper—and realizing it’s a trap. They’re rejecting the lie that if you just stay in line, get the degree, and ...

The mainstream media has been buzzing with headlines about the sun “waking up.” NASA scientists say solar activity is ramping up again after decades of decline, sparking talk about solar storms, flares, and the risks they pose to our way of life.
