By striking eight targets across Russia, Ukraine could badly damage Russia’s war machine, according to some U.S. experts.The Hudson target list details “eight high-value and militarily plausible targets that Ukraine should pursue to weaken Russia’s warfighting ability and increase the political cost of invading and occupying Ukrainian territory,” wrote Hudson researchers Luke Coffey and Can Kasapoğlu.RELATED“While a single strike against any one of these targets would not by itself constitute a decisive blow, cumulatively, a sustained attack against several of them could significantly damage Russia’s military infrastructure and complicate its continued aggression,” the report argues.The Volga-Don Canal, a 63-mile waterway…

On the night of August 31, four experienced gator hunters set out in a 16-foot aluminum boat on central Mississippi’s Ross Barnett Reservoir. “We started out in the lake at the mouth of the Pearl River looking for an alligator at least 11-feet long,” alligator tag holder Joe Wyrick tells Outdoor Life. “The area isn’t very well known for gators.

The federal law banning possession of a firearm for illegal drug users has become more and more contentious as additional states have passed laws allowing medicinal, and even recreational use, of marijuana. Consequently, there have been a number of recent high-profile court cases involving pot and guns. We reported last month how a three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit of Appeals ruled that medical marijuana users may still exercise their Second Amendment rights, finding no evidence that use alone makes them dangerous. More recently, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the law violated the Second Amendment, although it then…

“The president views Qatar as a strong ally of the United States. He feels very badly about the location of this attack,” White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told reporters Tuesday. “He assured them [Qatar] that such a thing will not happen again on their soil,” she added, calling it an “unfortunate incident.” Israel launched a strike targeting Hamas’ leadership in Qatar’s capital Tuesday as they considered a U.S. proposal for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. A U.S. official confirmed to Military Times that the U.S. did not participate in the Doha strike, which risked upending the peace talks aimed…

The White House has dismissed Donald Trump’s birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein as “fake news.” The letter was published on Monday and almost immediately dismissed by the ruling class. According to a report by RT, the note from Trump to Epstein was published on Monday as part of congressional documents. It included typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, ending with the words: “Happy Birthday – and may every day be another wonderful secret.” It appeared to be signed “Donald” below the waistline of the drawing. “No one is falling for this BS,” Vice President J.D. Vance wrote on X. He…

There is reason for hope in so many directions.”The new Veteran Alliance for Legislative Outreach and Reform (VALOR) — spearheaded by Veterans Exploring Treatment…

The mainstream media has started its fear-mongering of Donald Trump’s budget cuts that allegedly “threaten” the progress made on stopping the New World screwworm infestation. The recent Maryland case of the parasitic infection highlights the need for more research, according to the media. Even with the budget cuts, the United States has still managed to put three-quarters of a billion dollars into tackling the parasite.

A decorated Army and Navy veteran turned Boston firefighter, commended for bravery during the deadly 2017 North End fire, was arrested at his Massachusetts home after Milton police found him in possession of five unregistered assault rifles, five unregistered handguns, 2,000 rounds of ammunition, 76 magazines, four ballistic vests, and several tourniquets.  But this isn’t just any run-of-the-mill Massachusetts disregard of the Second Amendment, as the suspect also had his own 200-foot-long shooting range built out in a basement beneath the home, making this gigachad a pretty swell guy and gun owner of the week in my book.  Boston Fire…

In the South where they’re called “bonita” they’ll chow down on almost any lure, fly, or bait you can get in front of them. Set out a chum slick and they’ll hang around for hours and hours. But that’s not the case in the Northeast. Here, albies have a cult-like following. In the late summer and early fall, they migrate so tight to the beach that surf anglers get shots. They’ll flood sheltered harbors where kayakers can play. The game, however, is…

This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge.  For some reason, Germany loves recruiting migrants into its police force in the name of diversity. In 2022, roughly 42% of police recruits who took the most common path into Berlin’s police force were migrants or came from migrant families, according to a major survey (37% including all pathways). What’s more, Berlin is the only German state where the proportion of new police recruits with a migration background matches or exceeds the city’s own population share (35%) according to that same survey. Now, (shocker!) roughly 55% of Germany’s new police recruits don’t meet German language standards for…
