How the Mainstream Media is Changing on Guns

One-sided and often dishonest reporting on issues related to the Second Amendment is just one reason for the cratering of trust in today’s mainstream media. To put this in context, in 2025, a long-running Gallup poll on U.S. public trust in mass media found that 28 percent of citizens, a record low, said they trust the media. The public trust in the media, according to this poll, was as high as 54 percent in 2003, but has been deteriorating ever since. Given how turned off t

Smart Steps Apartment Dwellers Should Take for 2026 Risks

January is more than the start of a new year. It’s also one of the most important months for preparedness, especially if you live in an apartment. Winter weather, rising utility costs, supply disruptions, and health risks tend to stack up early in the year.
