As a result, the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation has been forced to pause programs like Take Me Fishing and events with state fish and game agencies. Grant funding for many conservation-based organizations was frozen earlier this year, and sources say RBFF and other fishing industry stakeholders struggled to receive clarity on the funding. As a result, RBFF  had to furlough eight of its 16 employees…

The top military commander in charge of troops deployed to Los Angeles to respond to protests against immigration raids has asked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth if 200 of those forces could be returned to wildfire fighting duty, two U.S. officials told The Associated Press on Monday.President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of about 4,000 California National Guard troops and 800 active duty Marines against the wishes of Gov.

This article was originally published by Wanjiru Njoya at the Mises Institute.  In their book Time on the Cross: The Economics of American Negro Slavery, Robert W. Fogel and Stanley L. Engermen analyzed various elements of the slave economy including the role of slave traders from New England in the trans-Atlantic slave trade, the profitability of slave labor, and material conditions on Southern plantations including the health, diet, and general lifestyle of slaves. For embarking on this study of economic history—first published in 1974—they were accused by progressive academics of being “amoral” and “trying to sell slavery.” Although they rejected the…

But at only 15 years old, he’s too young to claim the local salmon derby prize.  Neal and his cousin were fishing from his uncle’s boat, first jigging for herring and then trolling, when he hooked a fish that started ripping off line. “It probably ran five to six times. I only got it to…

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has accused United States President Donald Trump of showing disrespect to the country’s leadership, warning that his barbs undermine any potential for renewed negotiations. Arachchi also stated that ceasing insults is a prerequisite for resuming nuclear talks. In a statement posted on Saturday, Araghchi said that if Trump is sincere about pursuing a nuclear deal with Iran, he must “put aside the disrespectful and unacceptable tone towards Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and stop hurting his millions of heartfelt followers.” Araghchi also stated that Iran would not tolerate threats and insults. He was quoted as…

Those in the civilian (slave class) aren’t allowed any freedom of speech in Germany at all. The government is now targeting its own people in early dawn raids for “hate speech” violations. Unfortunately, hate speech is still free speech. Germany’s ruling class is not upset by racist, bigoted, or homophobic slurs. Instead, they are offended by the slave class mocking the rulers, so they took it to the next level. The additional issue is that this law targets individuals who post comments about their political superiors. The German police, acting like the Gestapo, conducted coordinated early morning raids on 170…

Even though the mainstream media continues to claim the risk to humans from the bird flu is low, a vaccine is being created in a biosecure facility in Texas. Why is a vaccine needed if the risk is low? What’s going to happen next? Media reporting on the HPAI (highly pathogenic avian influenza) has slowed, but most articles still make it a point to maintain the “low risk to humans” narrative they’ve been parroting since the beginning. If it’s so low risk, why even bother wasting time and money on a “vaccine” that may not ever be used or needed?…
