The newly proposed grazing rules were published last month in the Federal Register, the first step toward eventual adoption. They are out for public comment through July 13.

Their departures come as military leaders shift attention toward great-power competition, distributed operations and emerging technologies while preparing a force increasingly led by service members whose careers began after major combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan ended.For retired Marine Lt. Col. John Harman, the retirement…

Today Congress took a shortcut in its bid to erase the Roadless Rule, a longstanding conservation policy that safeguards around 45 million acres of national forest land from development. Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), the chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee and an ardent proponent of transferring our public lands, led this effort by tacking on a last-minute amendment to the Wildfire Prevention Act, a formerly bipartisan bill that was introduced by Sen. Barrasso (R-Wyoming) in January. Lee’s amendment,…

United States ruler Donald Trump threatened to withdraw support for Israel if the attacks on Lebanon don’t stop. During a tense phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Axios has reported that Trump urged the prime minister not to restart a war that he’s currently escalating. Unfortunately, you can’t make this up. Trump has recently restarted attacks on Iran, to which the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has already retaliated. Yet, it looks like his goal is to shift blame onto Israel, when both rulers are war-mongering sociopaths. Trump has allegedly been irritated over the suspension of peace talks…

ONE AFTERNOON in August 1946, I was riding along the bottom of a canyon cut into the rolling tundra of northern British Columbia by a little creek named after Billy Nevis (pronounced Neeves), an old trapper. With me was my outfitter, the dean of the Stone-sheep guides, the late Frank Golata. Beside me rode a rather plump little doctor of exactly my age, who practiced…

United States President Donald Trump has ordered “self-defense” strikes on Iranian targets in response to the downing of an AH-64 Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian broadcaster Press TV reported that several projectiles struck the strategic island of Qeshm near the narrowest part of the Strait of Hormuz.

The IRGC has published footage of missile launches…

NEW TAIPEI CITY, Taiwan — The United States has been selling advanced weapons to Taiwan for years, with large American contractors churning out more of the higher-end equipment than the island could ever produce alone for its defense against its military rival China.Now Taiwan, an all-purpose manufacturing hub since the 1980s with an emphasis on high-tech hardware, is positioning to sell homegrown drones to the U.S. military so it can avoid the dominant Chinese supply chain, analysts and recent transactions indicate.“Foreign governments value Taiwanese drones mainly because of Taiwan’s strong information and communication technologies foundation and its role as a…

This article was originally published by Frank Shostak at The Mises Institute.  There is a high likelihood that, due to the past large decline in the yearly growth rate of the money supply, the US economy is heading towards an economic bust. Note that the yearly growth rate of money supply fell from 79 percent in February 2021 to minus 7 percent by May 2023.

It happens almost every year. I sit on a ridgetop in September, hunting elk somewhere in the Rockies. Flocks of geese fly high overhead in V formation, headed south to their wintering grounds. The honking seems to touch my very soul, and I’m not embarrassed when my eyes begin to tear, even if I’m with someone. But my mood inexplicably changes as I fast-forward to an anticipated day in…

The Apache was brought down by a one-way Iranian attack drone, according to a U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity. Iran’s Foreign…
