Remember last month when EBT cards in Louisiana showed no limits?  Remember how all of those EBT users had a chaos-fueled shopping spree and emptied store shelves within hours?  Remember how that one woman with only 49 cents left on her card tried to leave with $700 worth of food?

There are lots of little nooks, crannies, and storage areas around most homes that will allow you to discreetly put away a year’s supply of food for your family. Even those who dwell in apartments or other small spaces might be surprised to discover how many little hidden areas they actually have.   Continue reading “The Pantry Primer: Where to Stash Your Stockpile”

It seems like there’s one thing you can’t do if you’re the editor of Guns & Ammo magazine: run a column endorsing gun control.

That’s what Jim Bequette found out this week. On Thursday, he announced that he was resigning immediately from the helm of the gun-friendly title after readers revolted over an article by contributing editor Dick Metcalf which ran in the magazine’s latest issue.   Continue reading “Guns & Ammo Editor Gets Run Out Of Town For Printing Gun Control Column”

As the US Department of Agriculture considers whether to authorize the unrestricted planting of genetically engineered Eucalyptus trees experts are warning that such a policy would not only be unnatural, but negatively impact the environment.

The GE tree is primarily developed by ArborGen, a biotechnology corporation that has been met with protests in recent months, to provide materials to create paper and the wood pellets that fuel power plants around the world. Despite the trees’ propensity for cooler climates, ArborGen has sought to promote the trees’ growth in the south eastern US under the notion that they will help the environment sustain itself.    Continue reading “Genetically engineered trees under USDA consideration could harm environment – report”

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Friday important gaps needed to be bridged in high-stakes talks with Iran on curbing its nuclear program and he would meet Tehran’s foreign minister shortly to try to clinch an interim deal.

“I want to emphasize there is not an agreement at this point,” Kerry said shortly after arriving in Geneva, tempering rising anticipation of a breakthrough that would reduce the risk of a Middle East war over Iran’s nuclear aspirations.   Continue reading “Kerry says aims to close ‘important gaps’ in Iran nuclear talks”
