Shocking footage obtained by KSL TV first showed a white pickup pulling up next to a truck in the parking lot of — ironically — a fire protection company. “The guy tried to siphon gas out of it and he wasn’t getting the siphon to work,” fed-up Summit Fire and Protection branch manager Travis Mills told the outlet. “So he decided to drill the gas tank … and that’s...

Something very interesting has been happening over the last few years, and very few people have been noticing it. Most of the time we're so caught up in the Current Thing, whether supporting or opposing or just laughing at it and rolling our eyes, that it's hard to take a step back and notice the subtle, large-scale patterns that have been knitting themselves together as history unfolds before us. The monster that was born when...

There’s just one problem… Those cards would require a computer chip, and along with all the...
