The Doomsday Handbook: How to Survive a Nuclear Attack

Decades after the first atomic weapon was launched, the horror stories surrounding the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings continue to haunt us.

And yet, despite the lessons history taught us, the threat of nuclear war still hovers above us like a dark cloud. Preppers know it’s not a matter of if, but when. In this blog, we’ll share tips

The Next Oil Shortage is Here

Have you noticed how the Democrats send a memo around with new talking points, and then everyone uses them?

The beige, boxy data center is a vampire of sorts—pallid, immortal, thirsty. Sheltered from sunlight, active all night. And much like a vampire, at least according to folkloric tradition, it can only enter a place if it’s been invited inside.
