A few minutes before midnight of October 29, 1955, Tony Burmek and his brother Fred set out from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on a trip that produced one of the most incredible catches of muskellunge in the history of this unpredictable sport. At the end of 12 days of fishing, much of it in weather that froze lines to rods and started the first ice of the season creeping out from the shores of…

This article was originally published by George Ford Smith at The Mises Institute.  It must be owned that Mr Locke, and other theoretical writers, have held, that “there remains still inherent in the people a supreme power to remove or alter the legislative, when they find the legislative act contrary to the trust reposed in them: for when such trust is abused, it is thereby forfeited, and devolves to those who gave it.” But however just this conclusion may be in theory, we cannot adopt it, nor argue from it, under any dispensation of government at present actually existing. .…

For more than 15 years, the Office of Naval Research has explored how video games can affect human cognition. While researchers often found evidence that they can improve cognitive performance, the concept has had limited application into real-world programs.That may be changing.In January, Marine Corps University began using a modified version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 7 at its sergeant’s course in Quantico, Virginia, to help strengthen leadership, communication, critical thinking and decision making under pressure.The program, called Research into Competency Acquisition with Novel E-gaming, or R-CANE, was developed through a partnership with Virginia Tech and the University of…

The phrase “into the breach,” invokes one of the Army’s most deadly missions: sending combat engineers through enemy obstacles to clear a path so that others may follow. Now, instead of sending soldiers, the Army is experimenting with drones. Breaching is so dangerous that the Army assumes a deliberate breach could cost half of the forces assigned to it. Hoping to reduce that toll, Oregon Army National Guard combat engineers recently tested using a heavy-lift drone to deliver an explosive-filled tube through simulated enemy defenses, the Army recently announced. Soldiers assigned to Bravo Company, 741st Brigade Engineer Battalion, 41st Infantry…

But after buying a new hull and rigging it out, they were ready for its maiden voyage on June 20. The next day they christened it with their first-ever muskie, and one of the biggest ever caught in Vermont. “When we…

Heading into the 4th of July, when Americans will celebrate their “independence” from England in exchange for dependence on a new system, the pride in that system dropped. Fewer citizens claim to be “proud” to be an American. According to a Gallup poll, this is the lowest level of national pride in 25 years. The poll, released on Monday, comes just days before the United States marks the 250th anniversary of independence. Only 33% of US adults say they are “extremely proud” to be an American, the lowest reading in Gallup‘s trend dating back to 2001. Another 20% of the…

One of the good ‘ol boys in Alabama or Mississippi sitting on a dock loading a bucket with crappies and catfish for the church fish fry is likely to tell you that’s hogwash. Both people know a thing or two about preparing delicious fish, so who’s right and who’s wrong? There’s no definitive answer.  What is definitive, however,…

Max Blumenthal, the editor-in-chief of The Grayzone, has said that Israel is going to continue to escalate the war in Lebanon after a major failure in Iran. Both the US and Israel have been unsuccessful in their stated goals in Iran, making the interim peace agreement nothing more than a surrender document. Blumenthal said in an interview with Going Underground host Afshin Rattansi, aired on Sunday, that Israel needs the US for “firepower.” “Israel cannot do anything without US firepower, and the US was not willing to commit the amount of men and materiel to do what Israel needed,” Blumenthal…

Israel has continued its military intervention in Lebanon, despite a memorandum of understanding and an interim peace deal that could be the first step to ending the war with Iran. What is making matters worse is that Israel is also preparing for a permanent occupation of Lebanon. This continued military presence in Lebanon is problematic, said Tehran-based Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi. He told RT that Israel’s occupation of southern Lebanon reflects its broader territorial ambitions and shows that the US is failing to uphold its commitments under the interim peace deal with Iran. Israel has rejected all calls to stop the…
