The 29-page annex to John Durham’s 2023 Special Counsel report was released by the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday shortly after it was declassified, and boldly alleges that Soros was heavily involved in the “smear campaign.” The annex cites several “likely authentic” emails allegedly sent by Leonard Benardo, senior vice president…

A Chinese blockade could cut Taiwan’s electrical generating capacity so much that the island is unable to function, according to war games conducted by a U.S. think tank.“Energy is the weakest element in Taiwan’s resilience against coercion,” warned the report by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies. “The overwhelming preponderance of energy must be imported and is thus vulnerable to a blockade.”China could supplement a blockade with attacks on Taiwan’s electrical grid, as Russia has done with some success in Ukraine.“Total electricity production might be reduced to 20 percent of pre-blockade electricity levels,” CSIS said. At that level,…
President Donald Trump is proposing an executive order to levy fines of up to $1.5 million per port call on Chinese-built ships arriving at US ports, effective in 2025.

Officially, they’re called Radically Invasive Projectiles, but most folks just call them what they are: bullets that don’t mess around. So what are these rounds, what do they do, and—here’s the kicker—are they even legal? Let’s break it down, because the truth doesn’t come stamped on a box. What Are RIP Rounds?

It is an old axiom from one of the great boxers of all time: “Everyone has a plan till they get punched in the mouth.” This often-repeated phrase is used to explain how quickly things can turn into chaos. What we have found through events like the riots of 2020 and the COVID-19 Lockdowns is that when people get “punched in the face” by calamity, we stay home. We bug in. We stay home when the world gets crazy and that makes perfect sense. Your home is your survival headquarters. It’s where all of your gear, food, water, plans, people,…
