Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics A new bass tournament league that billed itself as the highest-paying team trail in the country is now being blasted as the biggest scam in the sport’s history. The anglers who helped promote Dual Threat Fishing and competed in the league’s first (and only) two tournaments are now saying they were ripped off by DTF. None of the winning anglers have been paid and some of them are still owed deposits. DTF’s owner has also disappeared from contact, and some involved are now contending he was…

This article was originally published by William L. Anderson at The Mises Institute.  A recent Wall Street Journal article outlined yet another attempt by the U.S. Government to bring down Cuba’s socialist government, a process that has been going on without much success for the past 65 years. Once upon a time, the U.S. policy toward Cuba was part of the greater Cold War, and it was front and center in the national news cycle. (Many of us still remember the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, wondering if we were about to face all-out nuclear war.) When Fidel Castro’s Cuban revolutionaries took over Cuba’s…

After more than 80 years — and a decade after he was recognized by Yad Vashem as one of the “Righteous Among the Nations” — Roddie Edmonds will posthumously receive the Medal of Honor, a White House official confirmed to Military Times on Thursday. A master sergeant serving in the 106th Infantry Division, 422 Regiment Headquarters Company, Roddie Edmonds had been serving along the Siegfried Line in Bastogne, Belgium, for a mere six days in December 1944 when the Germans began their fanatical final offensive of World War II. He, alongside thousands of other Americans, were captured by the Germans…

A Vietnam veteran who has appealed his Department of Veterans Affairs disability rating has asked the courts to review a VA rule published Tuesday that requires medical examiners to factor in the effects of medication on a service-connected condition when determining a veteran’s disability rating. Andrew Laffon has joined forces with several law firms to petition the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to review the regulation, which was issued Tuesday as an “interim final rule” and immediately went into effect. The rule clarified VA regulations on considering medical management of health conditions when determining a veteran’s disability…

United States ruler Donald Trump is building an “armada” in the Middle East, as warhawk Senator Lindsey Graham meets with the Emirati president. The American military presence in the region in decades continues to growas the rulers continue with their war rhetoric. The unprecedented air and naval force sent by Trump to the Persian Gulf was sent to coerce Iran into submission to the U.S., but Tehran isn’t blinking, and Trump may be backing himself into a situation where war with Iran may be unavoidable. Back in June, the U.S. attacked Iran during the 12-day war, in order to stop…

The Department of Veterans Affairs has retreated from enforcing a controversial regulation it rolled out Tuesday that required medical examiners to factor in the effects of medication when weighing disability ratings decisions. In a post on X on Thursday, VA Secretary Doug Collins said the VA will continue collecting public comment on the rule but it “will not be enforced at any time in the future” as a result of the veteran community’s reaction to it. “Many interpreted the rule as something that could result in adverse consequences. While VA does not agree with the way this rule has been…

President Donald Trump recently dispatched the world’s largest aircraft carrier to the Middle East amid diplomatic talks with Iran — with a warning that, should the Islamic Republic refuse a nuclear deal, a U.S. assault “far worse” than last June’s Operation Midnight Hammer will be the consequence.The president, during remarks at the Board of Peace meeting on Thursday, said he will decide “over the next 10 days” whether he will order a strike on Iran.“We may have to take it a step further or we may not,” he said. “Maybe we’re going to make a deal.”The USS Gerald R. Ford…

Just a year ago, SpaceX majority owner Elon Musk dismissed going to the moon as a “distraction.” Now, SpaceX and Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin are racing toward it, and the Pentagon may be the reason why. Within weeks of each other, the two largest U.S. commercial space companies abruptly shifted their priorities toward lunar development. The moves came as the Department of Defense accelerates plans for a next-generation missile shield known as the Golden Dome, raising questions about whether America’s return to the moon is as much about defense as it is exploration. In early February, SpaceX announced it would…

That’s why choosing the best trolling motor for your particular set of circumstances is so critical – without it, you can’t get to the fish stealthily, or you won’t have enough power to keep going all day. ​Indeed, the trolling motor market has broadened in recent years, going from two main players to at least five, with some smaller, more targeted brands…

Billionaire Bill Gates has pulled out of the India Artificial Intelligence (AI) summit after the most recent release of the Epstein files.

United States ruler Donald Trump is considering a plan that would involve killing “scores of Iranian political and military leaders.” Trump has allegedly been briefed on several strike options, including a weeks-long air campaign that would lead to several assassinations. According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, Trump received several briefings on strike options, including a potentially weeks-long air campaign to “kill scores of Iranian political and military leaders,” with the end goal of toppling the government. Other options reportedly focus on nuclear and missile sites. CBS News also cited sources as saying that Trump was briefed that the…

The U.S. Navy wants to a new anti-radiation missile with a longer range than existing weapons.
