I had already taken a nice buck out of some family land in northern Arkansas, and I wanted to focus on a little doe management in the same area. So one afternoon in December, I pulled up and parked my truck on the side of the road next to the family plot, which is about five acre. Several years ago, some folks subdivided the area and recut the dirt road to create…

The United States ruling class just announced that it will soon start bombing Venezuela’s land mass. The U.S. military has conducted a number of deadly attacks on boats it claims were linked to Venezuelan-led narcotics smuggling. These attacks amounted to war crimes. But now the “land strikes” announced by Trump will surely be seen as an act of war. U.S. ruler Donald Trump said that the military would soon start bombing alleged drug cartel targets on land. He made the comment to reporters in a cabinet meeting on Tuesday. The announcement comes amid a massive US military buildup in the…

Citing a nationwide shortage of pennies, some stores have started rounding purchases up — or down — to the nearest nickel. Other stores, including military shops, acknowledge that at some point they’re going to run out of pennies and have made plans to address it.

A group representing the U.S. Navy’s “Silent Service” is pressing for new research on environmental hazards in submarines and Department of Veterans Affairs recognition of many health conditions as service-related for submariners. The Submariners’ Advocacy Group, a nonprofit organization formed in 2024 to represent Navy boat force personnel and veterans, released a report Nov. 8 detailing the chemicals and hazardous substances found in submarines and the potential health effects of exposure to them. The group says while the Navy and federal researchers have conducted studies on submarine atmospheres, much of the research is dated or remains classified. The group wants…

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters at a White House Cabinet meeting Tuesday he was unaware a September U.S. military strike against an alleged drug-carrying vessel in the Caribbean left survivors, who were killed in a subsequent strike.The statement came several days after a Washington Post story said Hegseth had reportedly ordered Adm. Frank M. “Mitch” Bradley and the SEAL Team 6 he oversaw to kill everybody aboard the vessel and leave no survivors. The report said that an initial strike against the vessel on Sept. 2 left two survivors clinging to their vessel’s wreckage, but that a second strike…

This article was originally published by Rhoda Wilson at The Exposé. Dr. Vernon Coleman first became aware of the censoring of citizens by the British state in the 1970s and 1980s. In the 1980s, he wrote a good deal about the AIDS hoax, which the establishment didn’t like, and culminated in his book ‘The Health Scare’ being banned. “AIDS was the first attempt to control the world with a pandemic. And it was the similarity between the way AIDS was promoted and the way the coronavirus hoax was being promoted, which helped me understand the truth about COVID right at…

When America mobilized for World War II, it turned factories into foundries and assembly lines into arsenals. Our adaptive spirit and national commitment ensured success for the “Arsenal of Democracy.” The security of the country depended on it. Our national security today is just as dependent on a strong economy and capable workforce as it was in 1941. An economy that can build and innovate deters would-be adversaries from believing they can test us, and it enables us to sustain ourselves if they dare try. Yet the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war have revealed fragility in our industrial base…

When we think about prepping, we often focus on food, water, and shelter. These are critical, but there’s one element we can’t survive without for more than a few minutes: clean air. You can go three weeks without food, three days without water, and three hours without shelter in harsh conditions. But you only have about three minutes without oxygen before your brain starts to suffer. Air quality isn’t just a concern for extreme survival scenarios. Events like chemical spills, gas leaks, and wildfire smoke can turn the air you breathe into a serious hazard. These situations might seem rare,…

Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has said that France intends to use private companies in order to “assist” foreign rulers involved in armed conflict. The SVR alleged that this is evidence that Paris wants to be directly involved in the conflict with Ukraine. France has historically shown that it wants to be heavily involved in the conflict between Moscow and Kiev. Russia has also long accused the French government of wanting to put boots on the ground in Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron has repeatedly raised the possibility of deploying Western troops to Ukraine. In August, he told reporters in…
