This article was originally published by William L. Anderson at The Mises Institute.  As he placed his hand on the Koran, Zohran Mamdani was sworn in as the new mayor of New York City on a cold New Year’s Day, promising that “I was elected as a Democratic socialist and I will govern as a Democratic socialist. I will not abandon my principles for fear of being deemed radical.” Indeed, his inaugural speech was full of the radical proposals that marked his campaign, as he promised. His administration, he declared, would make life better for New Yorkers: And if for too long these…

But things turned around in January, when he tagged two big Iowa bucks just two days apart. “This started out as a pretty tough deer season,” Woehlk tells Outdoor Life. “I hurt my back in bow season drawing on a big 10-pointer. Then the hectic holidays. But my favorite time is late muzzleloader season and it’s been special.” This late season was also the first time…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Conflicting views of a fatal encounter in Minnesota are fueling debate over whether an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent’s actions were legal, but some say the agent’s use of deadly force was clearly justified.The incident took place Wednesday on a snow-covered road in Minneapolis, where an ICE agent fired three shots at a driver, 37-year-old Renee Good, killing her.Various videos circulating on social media appear to show ICE agents approaching Good’s stopped vehicle and ordering her to exit it.

It was a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment. In episode 12 of “Victory at Sea,” the 1953 documentary series captured several solemn burials at sea — but one naval burial stood out from the rest. Twenty-three-year-old Loyce Edward Deen, an aviation machinist mate, was the first and only aviator buried at sea inside his airplane. It was part necessity — his TBM Avenger was so badly shot up by 40mm anti-aircraft shells that the removal of Deen would have been almost impossible — but the U.S. Navy took it one step further to honor its slain shipmate. According to a memorial page dedicated…

The Senate advanced a resolution Thursday that would limit President Donald Trump’s ability to conduct further attacks against Venezuela, sounding a note of disapproval for his expanding ambitions in the Western Hemisphere.Democrats and five Republicans voted to advance the war powers resolution on a 52-47 vote and ensure a vote next week on final passage. It has virtually no chance of becoming law because Trump would have to sign it if it were to pass the Republican-controlled House. Still, it was a significant gesture that showed unease among some Republicans after the U.S. military seized Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro in…

The first thing most people will notice about the Vortex AMG 1-10X24 is its eye-popping price. It lists for a stunning $6,399, with a street price of $4,000. Now it’s one thing for military units to pay top dollar for gear — it isn’t their money after all — but that’s a steep ask for your everyday shooter. Two questions immediately came to mind when I first laid my hands on one: Why on earth does it cost that much, and…

The United States has announced that it is withdrawing from dozens of international bodies that no longer serve American interests. Some of these governing bodies include major United Nations and non-United Nations forums focused on climate, migration, social policy, peace, and democracy. President Donald Trump had signed a memorandum suspending support for a total of 66 organizations, agencies, and commissions “that operate contrary to US national interests, security, economic prosperity, or sovereignty,” the White House said on Thursday, according to a report by RT.  “These withdrawals end taxpayer support for entities that advance globalist agendas over U.S. priorities or address key…

The Army announced the completion of an Abrams tank prototype, known as the M1E3, this week on social media. Social media accounts posted imagery of the new technology, and one account said that testing would start in early this year.

The…

Starting this year, able-bodied active and Selected Reserve Coast Guard members will need to work out at least four days a week, no excuses. The goal is to prepare Coasties for mandatory physical fitness tests set to begin July 1. Previously, the service only required that most personnel pass a physical test in boot camp and officer training. In a Coast Guard-wide message published Thursday, the service established its new Physical Readiness Program, or PRP, which includes frequent physical training, twice a year fitness testing and body composition standards for all members. The announcement follows a message published last year…

On Tuesday, rulers in the United Kingdom and France said that they had signed a “declaration of intent” to deploy forces to Ukraine “in the event of a peace deal” with Moscow. Russia has repeatedly said that it categorically rejects any Western troop presence and that such a scenario would be a declaration of war. Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has also condemned Kiev’s Western European backers for planning to deploy troops to Ukraine, warning the move risks a “direct war” with Russia. If deployed, these forces would establish “military hubs” across Ukraine, accoridng to a report by RT.  UK Prime…

It was before daylight on Sept. 28, and retired Army Staff Sergeant Zane Scrivner was listening for bugling bulls on Fort Sill. Scrivner had a one-day bowhunting permit on the military base, which covers 94,000 acres in southwest Oklahoma, and he was working to get close to a bull before dawn. “At first light, I had a big bull at about 120 yards, and I cow-called to him,” Scrivner tells Outdoor Life. “He came right to me at 70 yards, but…

In a milestone for the U.S. Army, it has promoted a senior noncommissioned officer directly to captain in the foreign area officer field for the first time, the service said Wednesday. The unusual move allowed Jeremy Chambers, formerly a master sergeant, to commission in a Hawaii ceremony in early December after senior leaders said he had been performing duties commensurate with an FAO role for years and deserved the rank to match. FAOs are regional specialists, whose work often requires cultural, linguistic and geopolitical expertise. Entry into the program is extremely competitiveThe Army said Chambers will begin rigorous academic, cultural…

Scientists say that bats will be the most likely source of the next major epidemic. While a new study finds only a handful of bats have this potential, those that do can harbor a virus that will spread quickly in human beings. The new global study, published in the journal Communications Biology, found that only a small fraction of bat lineages consistently host viruses with the highest epidemic potential. The results show that epidemic risk clusters within specific evolutionary groups rather than across bats as a whole. The study additionally reframes emerging disease risk as the outcome of host lineages interacting with human choices…

And while the state doesn’t plan to establish a hunting season anytime soon, wildlife managers have opened the door to bison hunting as a potential management tool. As of New Year’s Day, Colorado Parks and Wildlife is accepting hunter registrations for its newly created bison roster. CPW explained in its Jan. 1 announcement that these hunters would be…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream.  If the Russians launch an all-out nuclear attack on the United States tonight, will you live or will you die? Of course, I don’t think that the Russians will launch such an attack right now, but we live at a time when the threat of nuclear war is greater than ever. More than half of the nations on the entire planet are either currently engaged in military conflict or are funding military conflict, and war rumors are spreading like wildfire all over social media on a…
