You don’t need a real collapse to understand where things are going. Right now, the grid is being pushed harder than it should be. In fact, that pressure is coming from decisions that are already in motion. According to recent reports, production is moving back inside the country. It sounds like progress, but it also means more constant demand, more pressure, and fewer margins for error. And when that pressure builds, something has to give. Even if the US grid is strong, the government is creating some of them on purpose. The reasons behind it will surprise you. The Real…

Estimated reading time: 12 minutes Planting a survival garden requires you to foresee and prepare for a number of possible scenarios that could kill your plants and leave you without a source of food. One of the most dreaded of these scenarios is an extended drought. Many plants are unable to survive more than a few days without water. In a survival scenario where no rain is falling, providing water to them can be a real struggle. While it’s important to devise a plan for watering your plants during a drought, it’s also beneficial to have plants that you can…
Yes, Ballistol is a genuinely good gun cleaner. It’s reliable, versatile, and has earned its place in gun rooms for over a century. Whether you’re cleaning pistols, rifles, black powder guns, or even tools and knives, Ballistol handles the job well — and it does more than just clean. It has real limitations worth knowing too, which we’ll cover honestly below. A Brief Look at Ballistol’s History Ballistol’s story starts in 1904, when German chemist Dr. Helmut Klever developed a multi-purpose oil for the German Imperial Army. He combined the words ballistic and oleum (Latin for oil) to arrive at…
by Lee Williams Do you remember the Trace? It’s the propaganda arm of former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg’s anti-gun empire, which includes Everytown for Gun Safety. The Trace pretends to be a newsroom to provide cover for members of the corporate media who republish their anti-gun stories as if they’re actually real news. However, the Trace and Everytown have the same president, John Feinblatt. The anti-gun propaganda it produces and pushes out is relatively the same. Trace staffers actually call themselves journalists. Some even have journalism backgrounds, but in reality, they’re nothing more than ardent anti-gun activists paid…
Springfield Armory has just announced three new Aimpoint COA-equipped Echelon models.When the Aimpoint COA and its neat new A-CUT mounting system were announced last year, many shooters were excited to get their hands on it. The ability to do so was limited, however, due to it being exclusively available on Glocks for the first year and those sales being limited to MIL and LE customers for much of that time frame. Thankfully, that 1-year exclusivity window has recently ended, and Aimpoint COA red dots are starting to become available on a wider variety of handguns. The latest to be announced…
If you’ve spent any time around gun owners, you’ve probably heard the debate: Should you store your magazines fully loaded, or will it wear out the springs? Some shooters insist that leaving magazines loaded for long periods will weaken the spring, while others argue that it’s completely fine. So, what’s the real answer? Let’s settle this once and for all. Will Storing Magazines Loaded Wear Out the Springs? No, storing magazines fully loaded will not ruin them. The idea that keeping a magazine loaded will “wear out” the spring is a common misconception. The real wear and tear on magazine…
This article was originally published by Belle Carter at Natural News. The WHO is preparing for potential radioactive contamination from U.S./Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities (Fordow, Isfahan, Natanz), though no contamination has been confirmed yet. WHO’s Hanan Balkhy stresses that nuclear incidents cause irreversible harm, citing Chornobyl’s thyroid cancer surge and Hiroshima/Nagasaki’s mass casualties as historical precedents. Trump claims Iran poses a “nuclear threat” without evidence, while Iran warns of retaliation. Analysts fear even conventional strikes could unleash radioactive “dirty bomb” effects. Attacks in Iran, Lebanon, and Gaza have destroyed medical infrastructure (94% of Gaza’s hospitals are non-functional), with…
Despite a federal court vacating the Biden-era pistol brace rule, the ATF says it never stopped enforcing its underlying legal interpretation — and it’s not planning to. A bombshell court filing submitted March 16 in a Southern District of Texas case has gun owners and Second Amendment advocates sounding the alarm: the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has quietly admitted in federal court that it continues to enforce its interpretation that some pistol-brace-equipped firearms are unregistered short-barreled rifles (SBRs) — a federal felony carrying up to 10 years in prison — even though the rule that codified that…
When a tornado touches down, and the sirens begin to wail, adrenaline kicks in. For many of us, our path to safety is clear: get to the shelter and hunker down. But for the members of our families with difficulty getting around, or acting on their own—children, those with disabilities, and the elderly—that path isn’t always so straightforward. Speed and mobility are usually luxuries during an emergency. Cognitive challenges can make it difficult to process warnings and unfolding events. It’s the limitations of ourselves and those whom we care about that require a different level of preparedness. It requires us…
As TTAG readers are well aware, the biggest problem with so-called “gun-free” zones is that only people who follow the law are gun-free in such zones. Criminals, who by definition aren’t restrained by gun laws, carry freely and prey upon those who are disarmed by the government. Now, a U.S. Congressman from Virginia has introduced legislation that would place the burden for those wounded or killed in areas where guns are forbidden on the government entity that instituted the restriction. Rep. John McGuire, R-Virginia, introduced the “Shall Not Be Infringed Act” on March 16. The measure would allow people harmed…
