This article was originally published by Wanjiru Njoya at The Mises Institute. To Marxists, everything is inherent and inevitable. Human beings are inherently constrained to act as they do by their prevailing material conditions, leading inevitably to class conflicts. They view human beings as captive to the ideology of their class. Karl Marx argued that, owing to inherent class conflict, individuals cannot view problems objectively—or even individually or idiosyncratically—because each individual is necessarily compelled to view the world through the lens of his class. Matters being thus inherent and inevitable, the edicts and pronouncements of Marxism are inescapable and incontrovertible.…
Radiation exposure is one of those threats we all hope never becomes reality. But as any prepper knows, hoping isn’t a plan. Nuclear accidents, reactor meltdowns, or even dirty bombs. These aren’t scenes from a movie. They’re possibilities. And if you’re anywhere near a nuclear plant or military target, your window to act will be narrow when disaster strikes. One of the simplest and most effective first steps you can take to shield your body from harmful radiation is stocking up on iodine pills. How Iodine Reduces Radiation Poisoning When a nuclear event occurs, radioactive iodine-131 is often released into…
House Democrats plan to introduce legislation rolling back Defense Department efforts to force transgender troops out of the ranks, a move that could force a public vote by Republican lawmakers on the issue in coming weeks.The legislation — sponsored by House Armed Services Committee ranking member Adam Smith, D-Wash., and backed by several other prominent panel Democrats — would bar the defense secretary from separating any member of the armed forces “on the basis of gender identity, including a diagnosis or potential diagnosis of gender dysphoria.”It would also prohibit the Defense Department from denying “medically necessary health care coverage” to…
Want to buy an AK? I brought in a few of the best AK rifles chambered for 7.62×39 and ran them through their paces to help you make your choice.AKs are probably more popular in the U.S. now than they’ve ever been. Surprising, since the cost of the rifles and their ammunition is also at their zenith. Once viewed as the poor man’s alternative to the AR-15, that is no longer the case. Today, you can get an AR for $400, and the cheapest .223 Remington ammo is less expensive than the cheapest 7.62×39.No, the AK is no longer the…
U.S.-sanctioned terrorist organizations appear to be enjoying the perks of paid, premium accounts and verified blue check marks on the social media platform X, a potential violation of U.S. sanctions, according to a report published Thursday.The social media giant has accepted payments from individuals who appear to be affiliated with Iran-backed Houthi rebels and the Hamas militant group, among others, for paid accounts in a move strictly prohibited by the U.S. government, said the Tech Transparency Project, a research organization that seeks to hold big tech companies accountable.“The findings add to questions, first raised by [Tech Transparency Project] in February…

A pair of Republican senators are demanding another investigation into whether former Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley undermined civilian control of the military during his time in office, stating they are not satisfied with past findings. In a letter to the Defense Department Inspector General, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley and Indiana Sen. Jim Banks said the issue is “too important to be swept under the rug” and that Milley “should be held accountable” if he is found to have misused his senior military post. The move comes about four months after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stripped Milley of his…
While growing food in the ground is the traditional way to garden, it can be pretty frustrating. You have to deal with pests, disease, too much sun, too much rain, and sometimes even too much wind if a major storm blows through. Any of these can easily kill plants you’ve been nurturing for months.All of this is why bucket gardening has become so popular. You have more control over the soil, it’s easier to prevent pests and disease, and you can move them around if the weather isn’t ideal. To make them look even better and to use your space…
