Still, not many people seem to care. For most anglers, drum are a nuisance bycatch that waste worms and cut baits intended for catfish and hit tubes and crawler harnesses aimed at smallmouths and walleyes.

The federal law barring illegal drug users from owning firearms has been much in the news lately. It has also been considered by several courts over the past few months, with widely varying rulings on the matter. A recent appeals court ruling is unlikely to bring much clarity to the situation. On August 20, a three-judge panel of the Atlanta-based 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a group of Florida residents who use medical marijuana had plausibly alleged that the law as applied to them violates their right to keep and bear arms under the Second Amendment. In the…

And every year, the stakes feel a little higher.Veterans and the post-PACT Act claims surgeVeterans who submitted an “Intent to File” under the…

With just three weeks until Manitoba’s general moose opener, a First Nation in the province says it is barring non-Native hunters from hunting in its territory. The Bloodvein First Nation erected the first no-trespassing signs on Saturday, setting the stage for a legal conflict with other hunters and the provincial government.  During a press conference over the weekend, the First Nation said the blockade would apply to non-indigenous hunters anywhere on the Bloodvein’s traditional lands, which lie along the eastern shore…

Armies should train for the battlefields they fight on. But the U.S. Army’s training sites don’t replicate the terrain that the Army is most likely to fight on, such as the Baltic states, Korea and Taiwan, warns a U.S. Army officer.For example, the Army’s largest training site — the National Training Center — is located in the Mojave Desert. “But the Army will likely fight the nation’s primary adversaries in the forests and bogs of the Baltic, the mountains and farms of Korea or the beaches and rice paddies of western Taiwan,” wrote Maj. Robert Rose in an essay for…

This article was originally published by Lance D. Johnson at Natural News.  Imagine a world where the most powerful men — presidents, billionaires, intelligence operatives, royal families — are not just accused of unspeakable crimes but proven to be complicit in them. A world where the justice system, instead of protecting the innocent, shields the guilty behind layers of bureaucracy and red tape. That world isn’t fiction. It’s the one we’ve been living in since Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest, his suspiciously timed death, and the subsequent whitewashing of his crimes by the very institutions sworn to uphold the law. Now, as the…

South Lake Tahoe is home to a booming population of black bear activists — so many, in fact, that they’re becoming a public safety concern. California wildlife officials say that last week, after responding to a bear break-in and protecting the home, they were confronted and accosted by a “large and agitated” group of these activists.

United States ruler Donald Trump has said that mainstream media news channels ABC and NBC should have their broadcasting licenses revoked. He claims that they should be punished for their “unfair coverage of Republicans.” In a post on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump blasted ABC and NBC as “two of the absolute worst and most biased networks.” He claims that revoking their broadcasting licenses, which could be seen as censorship, will help keep the networks in line. “They should lose their Licenses for their unfair coverage of Republicans and/or Conservatives, but at a minimum, they should pay up BIG for having…

It’s no secret that I’m a Smith & Wesson fan. I’ve enjoyed excellent results with dozens of their revolvers and semi-autos for more than fifty years. While I own several older models that have served me well, my carry choices today lean toward modern designs that outclass their predecessors. For example, the Smith & Wesson Ultimate Carry 442 outperforms all of my older snub-nose .38s. The S&W 640 Pro Performance Center .357 Magnum is another standout, combining classic revolver reliability with modern refinements. Interestingly, a few of the handguns that have earned a permanent spot on my belt feature compensators—even…
