When you practice tornado drills, you account for every member of your family. You know the safest room, you have your emergency kit, and you have a plan. But does that plan include the four-legged members of your household? For many, pets are family.

It’s difficult to find much of anything we might call “good” coming out of the current US-Israel war against Iran. Yet, one positive development has been the fact that Israel’s deceitful practice of pretending it has no nuclear weapons program is now untenable. The renewal of the discussion around Israel’s nuclear arms program was prompted in part by Iranian missile strikes in the area of Dimona, a city in southern Israel known to house Israel’s nuclear research facilities. In a March 22 report on the strikes by the Jerusalem Post, the ongoing denials by the Israeli state are noted: “In the 1960s,…

NASA’s Artemis II astronauts launched for the moon with prior assistance from a U.S. Space Force unit responsible for all East Coast space launch operations.Personnel in Space Launch Delta 45, located at Patrick Space Force Base in Florida, aided the Artemis II mission even before the launch began, according to a Thursday Space Force release, by analyzing payloads, launch vehicles and their trajectories to cross-match them with “hazard zones.”The zones, which include land, sea and air, are required to guarantee that no person or vehicle is within a certain distance from the pad, per the release.

The pair of veteran anglers had driven from their homes near Dallas to the 20,000-acre reservoir east of San Angelo because of Ivie’s reputation as one of the best trophy bass lakes in Texas. Now they were looking for bass weighing 10 pounds or better using forward-facing sonar. “I’d never caught a 10 pounder, and Brad wanted to catch a bigger bass than his personal best…

Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics In the modern world of dice baits and minnows designed for forward-facing sonar, there’s a growing list of baits, lures, and techniques that have fallen by the wayside. Sure these lures are still time-honored catching machines with the older generations, but the younger, cutting-edge bass anglers don’t seem to want anything to do with them. The Carolina rig is a good example, but unfortunately, so is the spinnerbait. When I began bass fishing decades ago, a spinnerbait was one of my go-to options, especially in the…

President Donald Trump on Friday requested a 10% cut in non-defense discretionary spending for fiscal 2027 and a massive $500 billion increase in defense spending, as the United States continues its war against Iran.
