If the Schumer hits the fan, there’s no need to step back to the 1800s and punish ourselves by living electricity free when there are some inexpensive, easy-to-use modern-day options. Too many preppers haven’t gotten past that 1800s mentality and modernized their thought, a conclusion I…

A newly released classified report from the State Department reveals that Israel may have committed “hundreds” of potential human rights violations in Gaza, particularly in the context of the Leahy Laws, which prohibit U.S. arms transfers to foreign military units accused of such violations.

According to officials, the investigations into these violations could take years, and skepticism remains about…
