Editor’s note: I updated this review in March 2026 to include a full year of testing and price updates since its original publication in January 2025. I’ve been smoking meat on a Traeger for about 8 years, and I’ve cooked some delicious meals. But technology has changed vastly since I…

Bad political ideas like gun control behave a little bit like a virus. They start in one place, take hold, then spread out to infect other places. Yeah, the metaphor can break down after a certain point, especially if you’re an anti-gunner actively trying to break it, but you…

The term “gentleman’s knife” describes sleek, opulent, unassuming knives you would commonly wear during a formal occasion.

The arrest came the same week that Peters made headlines over a separate Everglades livestream that appeared to show repeated gunfire…

It’s normal for the president’s party to lose a little ground in Congress during the midterms. We could go on and on about why, but that doesn’t matter right now. What matters is that it’s what typically happens, and it’s expected to happen this time, too. …

If you’ve never considered one, carrying a backpack cooler is a convenient choice for hands-free, single-person transport of tasty refreshments.
