It’s amazing how much wisdom has been lost to the ages. There are so many simple life hacks that used to be common knowledge. In this video, Household Hacker tries out some life hack inserts that were printed over 100 years ago in 1916. These inserts are cards that were sold with packs of cigarettes. There are hundreds of them out there, but this video focuses on seven. The first card is about… Want to save this post for later? Click Here to Pin It On Pinterest! 1. How To Pull Out Long Nails The card says, “It is often rather difficult to pull out a long nail from wood into which it has been driven, for when drawn out a short distance, there is no purchase from which to pull it further. If, however, a small block of wood be placed under the pincers, the nail can be pulled right out without difficulty.” This method follows a basic principle of physics called mechanical advantage, specifically lever mechanics. By placing a small block of wood under the pincers (or under a hammer claw), you increase the distance from the pivot point (where the tool meets the wood) to the point…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Jewish New Yorkers, beware.The same rabid anti-Israel activists who have harassed Jews at synagogues in recent weeks in violent protests, flown the flag of Hamas and Hezbollah and stomped on the Israeli flag are returning to the streets tonight at Time Square in midtown Manhattan to rage-bait Israelis and Jews attending a “Jerusalem Real Estate Expo” at Times Square.The protest underscores how anti-Israel activist groups are continuing to escalate their pressure campaigns against pro-Israel and Jewish events across the city, despite mounting criticisms of antisemitism. Earlier this week, Jewish and Muslim leaders led a protest at Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s residence at Gracie Mansion, asking that he address the growing antisemitism in the city.Community leaders say these protests put more pressure on Mamdani who joined anti-Israel protests many times before he ran for the mayor’s office. In college, he was a founding member of his school’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, which also seeks “the return” of Palestinians to modern-day Israel and a one-state solution that claims modern-day Israel for Palestinians, essentially destroying the state of Israel.The planned confrontation unfolded at 6:30 p.m. at the New York Hilton Midtown, where anti-Israel…

This article was originally published by Garrison Vance at Natural News.  The United States and Israel are actively working to end Jordan’s historic custodianship of Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque complex, according to multiple American, Jordanian, and Palestinian officials as well as Western and Gulf Arab sources. The plan, championed by President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, would replace the Jordanian-backed Islamic Waqf with a new Israeli-created body that would declare the Al-Aqsa Mosque a multi-faith center, sources told Middle East Eye [1]. Under the proposed arrangement, Jews would be granted equal access to the Muslim site and be formally allowed to conduct large-group Jewish prayer, according to the officials who spoke on condition of anonymity. Israel would also have a major say in the appointment of imams, preachers and senior mosque officials, and would sign off on the content of Friday sermons. Two U.S. officials said Washington had drafted a paper on the envisioned future of the mosque [1]. Details of Proposed Arrangement The authority of the Islamic Waqf, which has administered internal affairs at the Al-Aqsa compound since the 1967 war, would abruptly end under the proposal. The new body created by Israel would manage the…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! FIRST ON FOX: The White House has a new message on aliens: They are not coming from outer space — they are already here and ICE is tracking them.The Trump administration launched Aliens.gov on Thursday, a space-themed immigration enforcement website that turns UFO-style “disclosure” language into a live dashboard on illegal immigrant arrests, migrant encounters and immigration operations nationwide, Fox News Digital learned.”They walk among us,” the website reads. “For 60 years, the U.S. government has kept a closely guarded secret. Aliens have been walking among us, living in our neighborhoods, and interacting with us in our daily lives. They’ve shopped in the same stores, attended the same classes as our children, and lived seemingly normal human existences.””With one exception — they do not belong here.”DHS LAUNCHES ‘WORST OF THE WORST’ WEBPAGE TARGETING ALLEGED CRIMINAL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS NATIONWIDE Fox News Digital exclusively reviewed the White House site, which packages immigration enforcement data as a tongue-in-cheek “alien transparency” project while making a more pointed political argument on illegal immigration.”This is a first of its kind effort to draw eyeballs to the fact that the previous administration’s porous border didn’t just put families in…

The Trump administration may require all federal employees to sign nondisclosure agreements in an effort to restrict leaks that are considered to be a “widespread” issue across the federal government, according to a recent proposal.Following recent “unauthorized disclosures,” the Office of Personnel Management on Tuesday announced its intention of drafting a governmentwide NDA that agencies can implement at their discretion for workers who have access to sensitive information, such as personnel records and operational plans.“OPM believes that a standard NDA form will promote consistency across government, better protect confidential information and better inform federal employees of their rights and obligations regarding confidential information,” the proposal reads. OPM’s proposal was published Wednesday in the Federal Register and opened a 30-day public comment period through June 26. The OPM said the move follows several recent leaks of internal government information.“There have been several recent instances in which internal agency communications related to rulemaking and policy development were disclosed without authorization,” the proposal says. “Such disclosures risk chilling candid interagency feedback, disrupting orderly decision-making and weakening trust within and among federal agencies,” the proposal continues.The draft lists several examples, with one dating back to 2022 when a Supreme Court opinion overturning abortion rights…

CRKT has boosted their lineup with some new product variations ahead of the big show next week – that’s Blade Show in Atlanta if you’re new around here. The fresh options are gracing two very popular model lines. New Squid IIs Lucas Burnley is a force to be reckoned with in both the custom and production arenas – and when it comes to pieces in the latter category, the Squid series is a true heavy hitter. The originally model garnered accolades and sales with its quirky but practical look and rugged build. The Squid II, a larger sequel, followed in due time, and that’s the version that’s getting the expanded options today. Two different wood scale options, to be precise. For those who favor the lighter hues there’s olive wood, with its handsome blonde coloration; if you prefer something in somberer tones, the santos mahogany option provides that, as well as a black blade coating. And as a reminder, these are premium Squid II models with M390 blade steel. Limited Run Minimalist Nessmuk Alan Folts’s Minimalist Nessmuk fixed blade is also getting a new wood scale option. The Minimalist line has been a staple in the CRKT catalog for years,…

In response to a rapidly spreading Ebola outbreak, Uganda has closed its border with the Democratic Republic of Congo. This news comes as the suspected cases reach over 1,000. According to the numbers compiled by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), there were 121 confirmed Ebola cases in Congo and 17 confirmed deaths, with at least 1,077 additional suspected cases of the virus and 246 suspected deaths from the disease. The WHO, which is run by the United Nations, has discouraged border closures as a means of containing the virus. Closures “push the movement of people and goods to informal border crossings that are not monitored, thus increasing the chances of the spread of disease,” the agency said. The goal of health officials is to track and trace anyone who could have had contact with infected people. WHO added that this virus is quickly outpacing Congolese health authorities. Part of the issue is that the rare type of Ebola infecting people was confirmed weeks later, as tests were carried out for a more common type of the virus. Other challenges also include the threat from armed groups in eastern Congo, a…
