Democratic representatives released a video on social media on Tuesday pleading with service members and intelligence officers to reject illegal orders amid ongoing U.S. military strikes against alleged-drug carrying vessels in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific Ocean.These representatives — who all served in the military or intelligence community — said that the Trump administration was pitting the military and intelligence community against American citizens.“You must refuse illegal orders,” representatives said in the video. “No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.”Lawmakers cited the requirement to protect and defend the constitution, which they said was…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadA couple of weeks ago, I asked the Mind4Survival Facebook group a simple question: “If you could pressure-test one part of your plan this weekend, what would it be?” The answers came from several members of the Mind4Survival Facebook group—people just like you. They were all honest and thoughtful responses about the gaps they wanted to close. Four of their responses stood out, and they inspired a list of simple, effective tests you can run this weekend to strengthen your own plans.

Even with the shorter timeline, that includes service members on board about a dozen ships participating in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific in their “Southern Spear” operation against drug cartels, which began a few months ago.The planning for the worldwide holiday food deliveries begins in the spring, when the…

Google CEO  Sundar Pichai has warned people against “blindly” trusting artificial intelligence. Pichai stated that the AI engines remain vulnerable in terms of factual accuracy and cannot be fully trusted. In an interview with the BBC, which aired on Tuesday, Pichai urged users to rely on a broad range of search tools rather than depending solely on artificial intelligence. AI tools are helpful “if you want to creatively write something,” but users “have to learn to use these tools for what they’re good at, and not blindly trust everything they say,” Pichai said. “The current state-of-the-art AI technology is prone to some errors.”…

The Bond Arms BullPup9 is one of the most mechanically unusual, historically interesting, and unexpectedly refined pistols to hit the concealed-carry world in the last two decades. In a market saturated with polymer-frame micro-compacts that all follow the same basic formula, the BullPup9 is the firearm equivalent of a gifted nonconformist — it knows the rules, understands the rules, and confidently decides it can design a better set of rules. This handgun doesn’t just shrink typical 9mm architecture — it reimagines it from the inside out. Its origins lie not in a corporate design committee but in the mind of…

The Department of Veterans Affairs plans to extend benefits through 2028 to veteran caregivers who faced removal from a VA program that provides them health care and compensation. The VA announced Thursday that ‘legacy’ participants of the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers — those who had applied before and were accepted after Oct. 1, 2020 and those who were enrolled before that date — will remain in the program through Sept. 30, 2028. VA officials had said in May that it planned to extend the deadline; Thursday’s announcement cemented the plan. “Legacy caregivers have helped shape VA’s Caregiver…

UNLESS YOU CONSIDER the impenetrable 30 acres of head-high cattails in the old oxbow slough, the wildest part of this working alfalfa field is the stand of green ash and slag-bark cottonwood trees on its east side. I don’t go into this treeline much except to hunt for shed antlers or to push out the neighbor’s cows — or, every few years, to consider hanging a treestand. To call it woods is to exaggerate its size and density, but it’s always…

A Ukrainian plot to assassinate a senior Russian military officer has been foiled. According to the agency’s branch in the Donetsk People’s Republic, the plan included using beer contaminated with a powerful British-made chemical weapon. The Federal Security Service (FSB) said that the scheme was organized by Ukraine’s military intelligence service, the HUR, which allegedly identified the target through a fabricated online persona. It used a young woman calling herself “Polina,” and FSB investigators believe the photos and videos used to establish the relationship were produced with AI and circulated for months to build the assassination target’s trust. According to…

Stirm, the man featured in the famous Pulitzer Prize-winning photo “Burst of Joy” died on Nov. 11 in Fairfield, California, his daughter, Lorrie Stirm Kitching confirmed to The New York Times.

Veder’s photograph came to represent those American POWs who were, at long last, free.The actual story behind the…

NAVAL AIR WEAPONS STATION CHINA LAKE, California — The “Dust Devils” of the Navy’s Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX-31) brought the AV-8B Harrier’s decades-long testing era to an official close this fall with one final sortie flown by the squadron’s last remaining Harrier pilot, Technical Director James “Jimbo” Coppersmith. Warm desert winds drifted gently from the southwest as Coppersmith prepared for a moment steeped in aviation history. For the pilot, it also signified the conclusion of a distinguished 29-year career flying the jump jet.The Harrier’s Rolls-Royce Pegasus engine whined loudly, its unique high pitch filling the Mojave Desert air.…

Southern Utah’s red rock country is about as wild West as it gets, and apparently its scientists are, too. A video posted Wednesday by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources shows one of its employees pulling off a bighorn sheep rescue, cowboy-style by lassoing animals trapped in a deep pothole formation at Lake Powell. The footage was filmed earlier this year, after two wildlife biologists responded to a GPS-collar that was throwing a mortality signal. When those collars fall off or…

United States ruler Donald Trump just signed a bill requiring the Justice Department to release the Epstein files to the public. Trump has previously claimed that the focus on the Epstein files is a “hoax” created by political opponents to distract from Republican successes. For months, Trump urged House Republicans to block the measure to release the Epstein files, arguing that Democrats were pushing the release of the douments to damage his presidency and reputation. “I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!” Trump wrote in a lengthy message on the Truth Social platform, according to a…

On November 14, the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) filed a motion for summary judgment in the case Brown v. ATF in which plaintiffs are asking the court to strike down the remainder of the NFA and enjoin the government’s continued enforcement of the act’s unconstitutional requirements. The motion—filed…

This article was originally published by Lance D. Johnson at Natural News.  What happens when the very institutions tasked with protecting public health become the greatest obstacle to the truth, conspiring in a cover-up of mass death? For two long years, the British people have waited for answers as their nation was gripped by a silent crisis of excess deaths. Now, in a stunning act of bureaucratic cowardice, the UK Health Security Agency has been granted permission from the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office to permanently conceal data that exposes the devastating link between COVID-19 vaccines and the thousands of extra…
