You see an coyote in the street—middle of the day. You’re not in the woods or on some remote trail—this is suburbia. Your kid’s school is a block away. And this isn’t some rare event. Urban coyotes are showing up more frequently in neighborhoods, school zones, and parks—a change in your environment that we should pay attention to. While coyotes are probably not your most significant risk, they are wildlife doing what wildlife does. Unfortunately, when wildlife like coyotes are out living their best possible urban lives, that sometimes means doing so at the expense of you, your families, and…

Army researchers have developed a potential antidote to the deadly poison cyanide.The new injectable antidote was invented at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense. It’s been licensed to Defender Pharmaceuticals, a St. Louis-based life sciences company, for further development, according to an Army release.“This would be the first non-intravenous cyanide countermeasure approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which is very exciting,” said Dr. Gary A. Rockwood, a research biologist in the institute’s Medical Toxicology Division who pioneered the development of the antidote. “We are envisioning the antidote being delivered by autoinjector, similar to an EpiPen,…
Former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) director James Comey is being investigated after making an assassination threat against Donald Trump.

He accused the former FBI head of spreading lies about him as part of what he called a politically motivated “witch hunt.” James Comey Calls On ‘Patriots’: “Stand Up To Trump!” Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has said that…
My Dead Friend Zoe opens with the familiar image of a soldier returning home, but the weight that follows is anything but typical. Directed by Army veteran and filmmaker Kyle Hausmann-Stokes, the film traces the uneasy civilian life of Merit, an Afghanistan war vet haunted by the ghost of her best friend and fellow soldier, Zoe. What could’ve been a flat metaphor is instead a fully embodied character — Zoe isn’t a hallucination. She’s funny, she’s maddening and she’s always there. Just like grief. Just like guilt. In his feature debut, Hausmann-Stokes doesn’t try to romanticize the cost of war.…

We hit the range with the Gunwerks Nexus rifle along with its accoutrements to see how much Gunwerks’ system simplifies making hits at distance.If you’re interested in shooting at long range, particularly as it relates to hunting, there’s hardly any doubt you’ve heard of Gunwerks. Gunwerks gained their initial fame through their acclaimed Long Range Pursuit television show. Founded by Aaron Davidson in Otto, Wyoming, Gunwerks’ 45,000-square-foot headquarters that’s built around a 100-yard shooting range is now located in Cody, Wyoming. Though generally thought of as a rifle manufacturer, you could better describe Gunwerks as a full-service, long-range shooting syndicate.…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. Have you ever been thinking about something, and then an ad for that very thing comes up on your phone? It isn’t just a coincidence when that happens. Our phones are the greatest surveillance devices that have ever been created in the entire history of humanity. When you carry a phone with you, you are carrying around a microphone, a camera, a location tracking device, and a social media hub all rolled into one. Tech companies are literally collecting thousands upon thousands of data points on each…
In a crisis, refrigeration becomes a luxury. What about your fresh meat? It’ll rot fast. Without a reliable way to preserve food, you’re one power outage away from losing the most reliable source of protein. Most people have no clue how to make food last when the grid fails. That ignorance could cost you more than just a meal. Still, there’s a way to fight back. Smoking meat isn’t just for flavor, but also an ancient survival tactic. It helps slow bacterial growth and extends the life of your meat when there’s no electricity, no freezer, and no second chances.…
The head of the U.S. Space Force is moving ahead with plans to pull talent from Air National Guard units to help build up the still new military service — but several governors remain opposed and argue it tramples on their rights to retain control over their state units. Overall, the plan would affect only 578 service members across six states and the Air National Guard headquarters and augment the Space Force without creating a separate Space Force National Guard — something the service has said would not be efficient because it would be so small. “We are actively pursuing…
