Vegetable plants grown by individuals and not bought at a market or grocery store have wide ranging advantages. Thanks to Survival Life and their new Special Report, people are learning how to grow vegetables, fruits, and herbs with little to no outdoor space. It’s called Growing Up: The Ins and Outs of Vertical Gardening, and it’s changing the way people view their food supplies. Growing Up is an expertly-sourced digital document that developed hundreds of hours of research into an informative resource for space-saving gardens. Survival Life Managing Editor ‘Above Average’ Joe wrote the report, and documented his findings while testing the best strategies for growing food indoors, on small balconies, or miniscule plots of land. Vertical gardening is a way for people to enhance their green thumb skills with very little square footage, when the general rules say a full-sized yard is required. Most gardeners would argue for large gardens with quality soil, ample sunlight, and enough water to keep plants growing. Surprisingly, some foods grow even better with vertical gardening techniques. The ability to control and influence the factors that determine food growth is a great way to ensure abundant harvesting year-round. Most people head to the store when they need food to eat. What they don’t use gets tossed in the trash, totaling almost $500 a year in wasted produce over the course of a year. With the information inside Growing Up, people will learn the best ways to provide enough nutritious food for their families to enjoy, and guarantee the freshness, safety, and amount needed to stay healthy. Dependence on grocery stores is becoming a problem, especially in today’s United States. The lines of supply are extremely vulnerable to interference; with almost no warning, store shelves could be emptied and not restocked for days, weeks, or longer. Growing Up will help curb that dependence, and develop the kind of self-sustainable skills that any prepper knows will be a benefit for their disaster plans. Increasing the amount of self-sustainability an individual or family has can help build confidence and certainty, two things that are at a premium in an emergency situation. When the grocery store lines stretch hundreds of people long, those who learned from Growing Up will be guaranteed their food is fresh, safe, and readily available. Survival Life wants to keep everyone informed of the best ways to stay prepared and achieve sustainable methods of ensuring survival. Growing Up is a big part of that goal, and the Special Report is available today for instant accessibility. To learn more about Growing Up, visit http://survivallife.com/reports/vertical-gardening/.

LA Times Wonders: Should We Progressives Let This Crisis Go to Waste?

An Italian student group angry at Elon Musk left a threatening message on an effigy of the billionaire tech entrepreneur at the site of the desecration of Benito Mussolini's remains. Musk has become a target of the left after expressing his support for President Donald Trump and speaking out against the transgender agenda and other left-wing policies. The student group used the gruesome history of the site to issue a threat to Musk.A communist student collective called Cambiare Rotta, or "Change Course," hung a fake body filled with garbage upside down at the site where the body of an infamous fascist dictator was desecrated, according to Italian news agency ANSA. They pasted an image of Musk's face on the figure. Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini was executed by machine gun fire on April 28, 1945, but his body was hung upside down next to that of his mistress and confidantes the next day in front of a gas station at the Piazzale Loreto in Milan. Italian citizens cursed and spat at the corpse and one woman reportedly shot five gunshots into him, one for each of her sons killed in the war. The student group used the gruesome history of the site to issue a threat to Musk. "There's always room at Piazzale Loreto, Elon," they wrote. ANSA posted an image of the Musk effigy on its social media account. The student group might have been responding to the uproar over a gesture Musk made while speaking to supporters after the presidential inauguration. Many said he appeared to be making a Nazi salute while others defended him as merely making an awkward gesture. Cambiare Rotta reportedly made headlines for supporting Hezbollah at previous political demonstrations. Like Blaze News?

Per usual, the left is hysterical about every single policy change and ambition proposed by Donald Trump. That includes his plans to reclaim the Panama Canal and annex Greenland. Mark Levin, however, knows that these objectives are not just necessary, they’re downright brilliant. “The Communist Chinese control both ends of [the Panama] Canal,” he says. Trump, in his wisdom, is asking, ‘“How the hell are we going to get our Navy from one ocean to the other if a horrible war breaks out?'” As for Greenland, Trump knows that “Russia working with China is trying to take over the Arctic” and is attempting to “control Greenland,” Levin explains. Trump’s answer to this problem is simple, yet genius: “Greenland should be a part of the United States.” “Can you think of another president who thinks like this or would talk like this?” Levin asks in awe. “Nobody does.” In his quest to acquire Greenland, Trump sent his son Don Jr. to the country a couple of weeks ago to speak with authorities. “That's how you prevent wars,” Levin praises. “I like [Trump’s] mindset,” he adds. “You know we used to have a Monroe Doctrine — anything that goes on in our hemisphere is our business: geographic, economic, or military.” It seems this is exactly the doctrine Trump is employing, as he well should, considering “the Communist Chinese have more than 40 bases in our hemisphere,” and “their military [controls] both ends of the Panama Canal,” Levin says. Despite abundant claims that Trump is an “isolationist,” the truth is: “He believes in peace through strength.” “He's going to need to build up the military given what Joe Biden, the fascist, has done. ... They’re going to have to change the mentality over there; that’s why we need Hegseth, that’s why we need Kash Patel at the FBI,” says Levin. Even though the swamp is already working to thwart Donald Trump’s agenda, Levin knows that Trump is aware of what he’s up against this time. “I'll leave it to Trump,” he says. “There's no better guy in terms of figuring these things out, getting things done ... than him.” To hear more of Levin’s commentary, watch the clip above.

President Donald Trump is swiftly moving forward with his pledge to end the nation’s illegal immigration crisis by rolling out plans to deploy additional active-duty troops to the southern border, according to reports.A United States official revealed to Fox News on Wednesday that the Trump administration’s Pentagon is preparing to disperse 1,500 troops to various locations along the U.S.-Mexico border. 'We will detect, deter, and interdict illegal migration, drug smuggling, and other terrorist or hostile activity before it reaches our border.'It is not immediately clear which units will be sent or where they will be stationed.

Those troops will remain there until the end of fiscal year 2025, the news outlet reported.Military personnel are not tasked with direct immigration enforcement. Instead, they provide Customs and Border Protection and other agencies with other support, including detection and monitoring, logistics, administrative, and mechanical.Trump has also moved to secure the nation’s shorelines from potential maritime mass migration. Adm. Kevin Lunday, the Coast Guard’s acting commandant, released a statement on Tuesday announcing “immediate action in support of” Trump’s presidential executive orders.“The U.S. Coast Guard is the world’s premiere maritime law enforcement agency, vital to protecting America’s maritime borders, territorial integrity and sovereignty,” Lunday said. “Per the president’s executive orders, I have directed my operational commanders to immediately surge assets — cutters, aircraft, boats, and deployable specialized forces — to increase Coast Guard presence and focus starting with the following key areas.”Lunday explained that the Coast Guard’s presence has been increased in “the southeast U.S. border approaching Florida to deter and prevent a maritime mass migration from Haiti and/or Cuba.”It has also enhanced its presence around Alaska, Hawaii, and several U.S. territories.Additionally, the Coast Guard is protecting the areas between the south of Florida and the Bahamas, the U.S. and Mexico in the Pacific, Texas and Mexico in the Gulf of America, and “maritime portions of the southwest U.S. border.”“Together, in coordination with our Department of Homeland Security and Department of Defense teammates, we will detect, deter, and interdict illegal migration, drug smuggling, and other terrorist or hostile activity before it reaches our border,” the Coast Guard stated.Like Blaze News?

To indulge men's feelings," she wrote,Schreiner has been celebrated for crushing female athletes and was rewarded with professional photo shoots by the Washington Post and full support from RIT and its head track coach, David Warth.Schreiner's school bio also notes he is a two-time All-American, is an Atlantic Region Outdoor Champion, and has set at least five program records in outdoor/indoor running.Like Blaze News?
