I enjoy hunting as much as the next diehard, but one of my favorite parts of deer camp is the food. Fresh tenderloin over the fire or even a hunk of summer sausage and cheese just tastes better after freezing in a treestand all day. This year, forget flimsy plastic forks — or God forbid a spork — and skewer your meal…

The Xinhua Institute, a Chinese think tank, has proclaimed that the so-called “American Dream” is nothing more than a manipulation tool. It says that the ruling class in the United States tries to sell the American dream back to its citizens by lying about the benefits of being American. The “American dream”, as defined for use by this Chinese Institute, is the belief that hard work and talent can guarantee a good life, regardless of social class or origin. It is one of the illusions the U.S. sells, the report said. Who Owns America? Oligarchs Have Bought Up the American…

President Donald Trump is swiftly implementing his vision of the military as an all-powerful tool for his policy goals. It’s ground that presidents have hardly ever crossed outside of times of war, and experts say it’s remaking the role of the most powerful military in the world and its relationship with the American public.Yet as Trump has dramatically stepped up his use of military force, fellow Republicans in Congress — where authorization for such actions is supposed to originate — have done little but cheer him on. That’s giving the president significant leeway as he raises plans to send troops…

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources issued two advisories last week around forever chemicals contaminating fish and game meat. The DNR issued a “Do Not Eat” PFAS-based consumption advisory for all fish species caught in the Moen Chain of Lakes, in the northern part of the state. The department also advised hunters to only consume venison once per month from deer that were harvested within a 5-mile radius of the area. Equally concerning is the department’s advisory to not eat mallards…

In a move that is alarming to gun-ban advocates but being cheered by Second Amendment supporters, the Trump Administration Department of Justice (DOJ) has requested to present oral arguments in support of Illinois’ ban on so-called “assault weapons.” In the cases Barnett v. Raoul, the DOJ in June filed an amicus brief with the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, not in support of the state, but of the plaintiff’s suing to have the ban overturned. “Three years ago, the Supreme Court issued a landmark decision meant to break a habit developed by some States of treating the Second Amendment as…

Both chambers of Congress will work to advance the annual defense authorization bill this week, trying to navigate through hundreds of member amendment proposals and adopt final drafts to be used in upcoming conference negotiations. Senate leaders late last week set up votes starting Tuesday on the must-pass military legislation, which includes spending plans for hundreds of Defense Department programs and the renewal of a host of military pay and benefits programs. Meanwhile, the House Rules Committee will meet Monday afternoon to discuss its planned path forward on the bill. More than 1,000 amendments were filed by members to that…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream.  Remember these days, because these are the days when global leaders could have reversed course before it was too late.  2025 has certainly been a year of war, and it appears that things are poised to go to an entirely new level in the months ahead.  If we do not choose to step back from the brink, eventually we will be pushed over the edge.  Sadly, we just continue to see escalation after escalation as we tumble toward the unthinkable. Meanwhile, ominous signs continue to…

JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Washington — The U.S. Army has an ambitious plan to field autonomous platforms across all its divisions in 2026. During a recent demonstration in the Pacific Northwest, it put that plan to the test, handing over the first batch of systems to a group of soldiers for a trial run. The mid-August special user demonstration at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington was part of a project called Launched Effects, a term the Army coined to describe a class of autonomous system that isn’t quite a drone or a loitering munition but can be launched from the ground…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadPreparedness isn’t just about stockpiling supplies. It’s about mindset, experience, and the lessons we carry from one generation to the next. A recent New York Post report highlights a troubling gap: while 90% of Americans believe it’s important to prepare for natural disasters, less than half—just 46%—actually have a plan in place. Even more concerning, baby boomers (born 1946–1964) are the least prepared, with only 39% reporting any kind of disaster plan. TL;DR: Baby boomers are the least prepared for disasters, despite rising extreme weather and growing awareness across generations. Quick Look at What…

In Brooklyn, in the winter, on a day that broke Kodachrome bright, I boarded the good ship Atomic for a day’s fishing. The thermometer had dug in for a goal line defense on the short side of 30, and the wind coughed out of the northwest, cold and punishing. I wished I had brought along a six-pack of Sterno. If it were May, there would have been a lot more…

The United States ruling class struck a “drug-carrying” boat in international waters on Tuesday. After the accusations surfaced of war crimes, J.D. Vance defended the decision, saying, “I don’t give a sh*t!’ Watch: Mexican Military Battles Drug Cartel Near US Border Donald Trump ordered a strike, claiming the vessel was tied to the Tren de Aragua cartel, which he has designated as a terrorist organization. Venezuelan officials dismissed the footage as fabricated, calling it “cartoonish.” The attack, which is an obvious war crime, took place in international waters in the southern Caribbean, killing 11 people on board.
