When the siren wails and the sky turns that bruised shade of green, not having a good option is not an option. Your greatest asset in that moment isn’t luck—it’s a plan. And the cornerstone of that plan is knowing exactly where you and your family will ride out the storm. For many, the idea of a “safe room” conjures images of expensive, contractor-built bunkers that cost as much as a new car. But safety shouldn’t be a luxury item. You can build a highly effective tornado safe room yourself on a standard budget, using materials you can find at…

I spent years overseeing the guard force security contract at the embassy in Baghdad. I know this 100+ acre compound well, and I know exactly what it means to rely on its defensive systems. There has been a recent shift in the security landscape that every preparedness-minded person needs to pay attention to. Recently, Iranian proxies launched a drone and rocket attack on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. One of this world’s most critical and heavily fortified diplomatic facilities isn’t just another localized target. It signals a major change in how warfare and terrorism are conducted—and it has direct ripple…
U.S. forces have carried out 49 airstrikes in Somalia so far in 2026, a pace that puts this year on track to rival or exceed last year’s operations against Islamic militant groups. The attacks, conducted in coordination with the Somali government, come after U.S. Africa Command carried out 124 strikes in 2025, a dramatic jump from just 10 in 2024, according to an AFRICOM spokesperson. “Alongside the Federal Government of Somalia and the Somali Armed Forces, our efforts continue to degrade ISIS and al Shabaab capabilities,” the spokesperson said in a Wednesday statement. The most recent strike targeted al-Shabaab last…

President Donald Trump assailed NATO on Wednesday, threatening to walk away from the 32-nation defense bloc over its response to the war in Iran. Asked in an interview with The Telegraph whether he would consider ending U.S. membership in the alliance after Operation Epic Fury, Trump said it was “beyond reconsideration.” “I was never swayed by NATO. I always knew they were a paper tiger, and [Russian President Vladimir Putin] knows that too, by the way,” he added.Trump, however, cannot unilaterally withdraw the United States from the alliance it helped found in 1949. A 2023 law — co-authored by then-Sen.…
Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadFree speech has always come with a price. Unfortunately, now that price has started looking a lot more like a body count. It started off in the 1990s as political correctness. Then, during the COVID years, it evolved into cancel culture, marked by lost jobs, public shaming, deplatforming, and the destruction of businesses, among other consequences. But now? We’re entering the next and far more dangerous phase of silencing people with different opinions. People aren’t just being canceled anymore. They’re being physically attacked—and in some cases, killed—for what they believe, say, or represent. That…
Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadGroup membership during collapse. It sounds simple until it isn’t. Someone knocks. They need help. You know them—or maybe you don’t. But they’re standing at your front door. They’re tired, scared, hungry, maybe sick. And they need help. You have stew cooking. Their kids haven’t eaten in days. You know that sharing your food is taking away from your family. Every meal you share with other is one meal closer to you and your loved ones starving. That moment is not the moment to start thinking about how your group handles new members. Unless…
Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadPreparedness isn’t about throwing a bunch of gear into one bag and hoping it works. And it’s not about having a bunch of bags and not knowing which to use. It’s about building systems—layered, intentional, and based on how people actually move through the world. Most preppers focus on bag names—Bug Out Bag, INCH Bag, Go Bag—and that’s where confusion starts. The definitions shift. People get stuck wondering: Do I need different bags? What goes in each? Where do I start? What if instead of chasing names, you focused on time?This episode breaks down…
Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadPrepping doesn’t have to mean you have to be Tactical Timmy in green cargo pants, a grey Santa beard, and an open-carry Glock on your hip. You don’t have to look or act like a stereotype to be ready. In fact, in today’s world of division, suspicion, and targeted outrage, the smarter move is to stay quiet and stay off the radar. This episode is for anyone who wants to be prepared without becoming a lightning rod with a spotlight on it. That means keeping your opinions, your supplies and gear, and your plans…
This article was originally published by Micahel Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. Most of the pre-packaged garbage that we are being sold in our local grocery stores is “Frankenstein food”, but even though this is widely known, most of the general population just keeps gobbling it down anyway. This is something that I have been wanting to write about for quite some time. The major food companies fully understand that they are destroying our health, and they are going to keep on doing it because nobody is going to stop them. We are talking about a crime against humanity…

Jack Montoucet, the former head of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, pled guilty this week to a federal conspiracy charge stemming from a corrupt kickback scheme — one that also involved a former wildlife commissioner and a contractor who ran the agency’s online education courses. In announcing the guilty plea Tuesday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said Montoucet had “conspir[ed] to defraud the United States” by soliciting and accepting kickback payments in exchange for awarding state contracts. Investigators with the…
