This article was originally published by Garrison Vance at Natural News. U.S. President Donald Trump launched an expletive-filled tirade against Iranian leaders during a recent Oval Office meeting, according to a person who heard the comments. The outburst, which included references to Iranian officials as “scumbags” and “lunatics,” reflected the president’s growing frustration as the U.S.-Iran conflict enters its fifth month with no resolution in sight. Trump had initially predicted the war would be over in weeks, but both a ceasefire announced in April and a memorandum of understanding in June have collapsed, according to reports [2][4]. President’s Expletive-Laden Tirade…

Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics The day was bright and hot but wind pushing across the immense expanse of Lake Michigan cooled everything except my anticipation. Waders on, I stood at the edge of a pothole that the surf had carved in the rock-and-gravel beach. While coming down the beach, I had sent dozens of tiny frogs scattering in fright. Since small frogs and smallmouth black bass go together like bacon and eggs, I chose a diminutive froglike plug—a sinker—as a lure. As I lifted the rod and let the plug…
Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics the turn of this century, the best frog lures for bass were whichever ones you could get your hands on. We had limited options for fishing heavy vegetation with anything but the most basic amphibians. While some produced strikes and resulted in landed fish, most of these lures were primitive—with subpar hooks, limited color schemes, and poor overall design. Then two things happened that put the frog industrial complex into overdrive: First, braided line became more widely available and more consistently used. That meant that strikes…

Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics Doc and I started our wacky experiment by chasing the cows out of our fishing hole. It was a mean trick since the day was a midsummer scorcher, and one aging bossy that had cooling mud halfway up her sides turned at the water’s edge and moaned her protests. But she had to go. We couldn’t have her standing astraddle one of our best bass holes. We had business with the bass. I call them pasture bass because that’s where they feed along the edges of…
The United States has chosen to hold off on a major strike on Iran due to a short supply of air defense missiles. The missile shortage can be blamed on a number of things; however, the main idea is that the US chose to “donate” a large chunk of its war supplies to Ukraine. US Halting Some Weapons Shipments To Ukraine As Own Military Stockpiles Plummet Iran and the US have exchanged strikes for nearly two weeks since a fragile ceasefire reached in spring collapsed. Both sides are also accusing each other of violating a 14-point memorandum of understanding (MoU),…

Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics The absurd petition to criminalize hunting, fishing, and ranching in Oregon has failed to make the November ballot. On Friday afternoon the Oregon Elections Division found the petitioners fell short by about 13,000 valid signatures. At least 117,173 signatures were needed to qualify. No one expected the PEACE Act (People for the Elimination of Animal Cruelty Exemptions) to be approved by voters this November. Even David Michelson, IP28’s chief petitioner, admitted that the intent this year was more to start a conversation within the state, rather…
