The shooting happened after 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the corner of 18th and Huntingdon streets in North Philadelphia.
Moments earlier, surveillance footage obtained by Action News showed a man and woman arguing near the 2600 block of Bouvier Street. Police believe they were fighting over a parking spot. It escalated quickly into a shootout, which moved up the block. The man eventually fired towards the corner store.

In July 2025, Kentucky Sustainable Living held their annual Homesteading & Preparedness Festival. (If you happen to live in the area, I highly recommend attending!) On the first day, while wandering “vendor row”, the wife and I met and spoke with Scott Willey of Paladin Tower Tactics. Among the stuff on his table, the flyer for his Church Security 1 class really caught my eye. It is an eight-hour long class that is intended to prepare the student “for the Gunfight, the Legal Fight, and the Spiritual Fight.” Prior to this, I had never had any professional firearms training other …

To be prepared for a crisis, every Prepper must establish goals and make both long-term and short-term plans. In this column, the SurvivalBlog editors review their week’s prep activities and planned prep activities for the coming week. These range from healthcare and gear purchases to gardening, ranch improvements, bug-out bag fine-tuning, and food storage. This is something akin to our Retreat Owner Profiles, but written incrementally and in detail, throughout the year. We always welcome you to share your own successes and wisdom in your e-mailed letters. We post many of those — or excerpts thereof — in the Odds …

“And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother. Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments: And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went. …

We have just returned from a two month, seven thousand mile, road trip across America.
We traveled on two lane roads as much as possible, avoiding interstates, and made a point of stopping and exploring small towns and cities along with the parks we were camping in. Our transportation was a mid-size pickup pulling an eighteen foot mini RV.
We stayed in state parks almost every place we stopped. Our routine was to travel no more than three hundred miles at a time and to stay at least two nights at every park. This gave us time to stop when something seemed interesting and a full day to unhook the camper and go exploring the local area.
We went looking and what we found was that America is still there.
This is the first in a series of posts on our adventure.
For any American who had the great and priceless privilege of being raised in a small town there always remains with him nostalgic memories... And the older he grows the more he senses what he owed to the simple honesty and neighborliness, the integrity that he saw all around him in those days.

Whenever you delve into the modern history of internal national conflict you’re bound to come across post-crisis accounts from people who said “We never saw it coming…” or “The violence hit us from nowhere…” Generally speaking, these were the people who weren’t paying attention and they just happened to survive by sheer luck. I think of this dynamic a lot these days. I see a large contingent of American society (perhaps 25% of the population) which has been radicalized or brainwashed beyond all reason or repair. These people (leftists) operate deep within a protective bubble of propaganda and zealotry; they …

"AVi8 Air Capital and Pan American Global Holdings, which owns the intellectual property rights to the Pan Am brand, have begun the certification process with the FAA. AVi8 announced they have completed a business plan for the brand’s revival efforts."
PanAm was one of the first international airlines, originally serving across the Western Hemisphere. They expanded into ocean-crossing service with seamless that could, and did, land on water. If you watched Raiders of the Lost Ark, you have some sense of the romance of travel in an era where transatlantic travel took most of a day and a very few could afford it.
If you watched 2001: A Space Odyssey, you doubtless recall service is aboard PanAm. In the 1960s, the prospect that PanAm would be an interplanetary service provider was both natural and expected.
PanAm went under when Libya blew up PanAm 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988 which i remember. To see a storied pioneer destroyed by this was very sad. If they come back from the grave, I will be thrilled.

Of course, they were promised that they and their families would be spared. I think few really believed that the deportees were going to labor camps. Of course, you know what happened. They were the last sent to the showers. How could they have believed differently? It had been a long time since extermination of the Jews, not just venting short-term ignorant rage, had been the goal. Romans did not even do it as methodically and completely as the National Socialists.
About one third of Jewish voters cast their ballot for Mamdani, according to CNN's exit polls. He spoke out against anti-semitism and said Wednesday that he looks forward to working with Jewish leaders across the city.
At least NYC Jews can leave for friendlier places. I wonder how many of those Jewish Mamdani voters will ever realize what they did?
An official with the Agriculture Department told a federal court Wednesday that allotments to SNAP beneficiaries for November will be 65% of their normal rate instead of the 50% previously estimated by the Trump administration.
The administration had told a federal judge Monday that it would use more than $4 billion in contingency funds to distribute half of the monthly benefits for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamps, during the ongoing government shutdown....
Exact timing for distributing benefits to the more than 40 million recipients is still uncertain. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said in a social media post Monday that it will take “several weeks to execute partial payments.”
She added that when the government reopens, “FULL benefits can get to families without delay.”
The suffering Democrats are imposing to put more money in insurance company pockets is infuriating.
A civil rights complaint has been filed against Colorado State University alleging that certain “pedagogy of discomfort” social work teaching methods constitute illegal race- and sex-based discrimination.
The complaint, filed by Fair for All, was prompted by a now-withdrawn academic paper co-authored by a CSU instructor and a former graduate student that described using classroom practices like confronting white fragility.
Critics contend such tactics created a hostile learning environment for some students that are white, male, or both.
FAIR on Sept. 30 filed the civil rights complaint with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights against Colorado State University, alleging “discriminatory pedagogical practices” in violation of Title VI and Title IX.
The complaint was spurred by descriptions of pedagogical practices found in a now-withdrawn academic paper published by the Journal of the Society for Social Work and Research in July.
In the paper, CSU social work instructor Marie Villescas and former CSU social work graduate student Quinn Hafen, who now works as an assistant professor at the University of Wyoming, detailed their implementation of “interracial teaching partnerships” and the “pedagogy of discomfort” in a pair of 2023 undergraduate social work courses.
They noted that course lessons included topics like “white fragility” and “social work’s role in perpetuating whiteness.” Additionally, in their paper, the scholars described their dismissal of the distress their teaching methods appeared to induce in some of their white and male students as something they referred to as “whitelash.”
Racism is increasingly the excuse for racist teaching.

This wonderful ability to tap CFC seemed to be failing. No. An 8-32 tap and a 6-32 tap are amazingly similar in size and appearance. One of them produces holes that will not hold a 6-32 screw reliably. What makes especially painful is that 6-32 and 8-32 threads are just close enough that it feels like the screw is threading.
