This article was originally published by Garrison Vance at Natural News.  The United States and Israel are actively working to end Jordan’s historic custodianship of Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque complex, according to multiple American, Jordanian, and Palestinian officials as well as Western and Gulf Arab sources. The plan, championed by President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, would replace the Jordanian-backed Islamic Waqf with a new Israeli-created body that would declare the Al-Aqsa Mosque a multi-faith center, sources told Middle East Eye [1]. Under the proposed arrangement, Jews would be granted equal access to the Muslim site…

These scatterguns are more intricate, which makes them more expensive.  But you don’t have to be an English lord or quail plantation owner to buy a capable side-by-side.

On June 7, 2012, Jon Harmon was a 19‑year‑old private first class on his first deployment in Afghanistan when an explosion took both of his legs — and nearly his life. Now, exactly 14 years to the day, the former paratrooper will step out of a WWII-era C-47 and jump into the same drop zone where paratroopers of the 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment and the 82nd Airborne fought on D‑Day.“The fates always have an odd sense of irony in my life,” Harmon said in a press release. “Jumping on my 14th alive day, into the drop zone my 508 guys…

Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics Snakeheads are the ideal warm water game fish: They reliably eat topwater baits with explosive bites. You don’t need a ton of specialized gear or electronics to catch them. They are excellent table fare.  Plus, their home range is expanding. In 2002 there was a relatively isolated population of northern snakehead (which are non-native in U.S. waters) in Crofton, Maryland, and that range has since expanded so widely that they are now regularly caught in eight states. Most notably, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York, and…

Though the drone was designed to haul supplies across the battlefield, the Army recently tried adding a new capability to its body to see if it could do something else entirely: fire rockets. During an experiment at Fort Rucker, Alabama, defense industry partners successfully attached a three-shot weapon system on a Tactical Resupply Vehicle, or TRV 150 drone, in an attempt to fire 70 millimeter rockets, according to an Tuesday Army release. The move is aimed at bringing more capabilities to lower echelons of command. “Normally, industry waits for requirements to come out of the government, and they meet that…

United States ruler Donald Trump has threatened to attack and “blow up” Oman if it doesn’t “behave.”  Should Oman attempt to seize control of the Strait of Hormuz, which has effectively been closed since the US and Israel launched attacks against Iran in February, the US would be willing to attack its own ally, Trump said. According to a report by Reuters, Trump made the remarks after Iranian state TV reported that it obtained an unofficial draft agreement that would reopen the vital waterway, with Iran and Oman jointly managing maritime traffic.

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream.  Most people don’t seem to realize that we are in World War III right now. This is the third major global war in modern history, but the vast majority of the population is still convinced that what we are experiencing is just temporary and that peace is just around the corner. Ever since Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022, there have been endless headlines about a potential peace deal, but nothing has ever materialized. In the Middle East, there have been some short-term ceasefires since…
