Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics Most anglers don’t know what to think when they walk into a musky shop and are greeted with rows upon rows of strange-looking lures ranging in size, shape, and color. From massive rubber swimmers with multiple tails, to what look like bass jigs on steroids, musky baits are fascinating. A passionate angler can spend a lot of time and money in a tackle shop and still not select the correct lures. How We Tested the Best Musky Lures I’ve put in well over the prerequisite 1,000 casts…

A House panel advanced a measure to increase cooperation between the U.S. and Israeli defense technology sectors after one lawmaker’s Friday attempt to halt the proposal fell flat.The United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative, part of the House’s version of the fiscal 2027 defense policy bill, would codify and increase military technical cooperation between the U.S. defense industry and Israel’s, as well as create a technical liaison position within the Pentagon to support the effort. The House Armed Services Committee approved the measure as part of its National Defense Authorization Act after a marathon debate on hundreds of amendments.Rep. Ro…

The lake wasn’t large or in the least attractive. So far as we knew, it didn’t even have a name. With one end of a barbed-wire fence running into it until the posts were completely submerged, it looked more like a flooded cow pasture than a fishing lake. I unhappily surveyed the shallow rim of the pond, with its grass beds, lily patches, and background of scrubby oaks draped with Spanish…

A flesh-eating parasite has been confirmed in Texas livestock. Canada has now banned the import of United States livestock, including horses, over the screwworm infestation. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has condemned Ottawa’s move as an “overreaction,” even though he has already declared a statewide disaster The first case of screwworm was identified in Texas on Wednesday. This marks the first detection of the parasite in the US, roughly 80km (50 miles) from the Mexican border. The outbreak began in Central America in 2023 and has been spreading steadily northward ever since. By late 2025, Mexico had reported thousands of cases…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadI’m an adopted, Southern California surfer kid who grew up with an explosive and emotionally unavailable mother who has worked as a lifeguard, paramedic, firefighter, Army Ranger, Blackwater security contractor, and spent over a decade deployed (over 2000 days/five years on the ground in Iraq), eventually resulting in overseeing the guard force at the U.S. embassy in Baghdad and some other high-profile jobs. And, as one might expect, after over a decade working in places like South Central L.A., Atlanta, Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan, and Pakistan—where, in one form or fashion, I’ve been attacked dozens…

The turtle river boils into the north end of Robinson Lake, in the roadless Ontario bush 50 miles northeast of Fort Frances, as if it couldn’t get there fast enough. First it makes a 30-foot plunge over a mist-hung waterfall, then it crashes and foams for 150 yards down a rocky channel, bouncing over ledges and broken by huge boulders. Our tent was pitched 100 yards below the falls, but…

This article was originally published by Michael Dioguardi at The Mises Institute.  Previously, I have argued that sovereign credit systems are structurally biased toward expansion: crises justify new interventions, those interventions are never fully reversed, and each cycle leaves behind a higher institutional baseline than before. The Cantillon effect ensures that the gains from monetary expansion distribute unevenly, flowing first to those nearest the financial system. In another article, I examined why market discipline cannot correct this: Banking regulation assigns zero risk weights to sovereign bonds; liquidity rules mandate their ownership; central bank collateral frameworks treat them as foundational assets. The…

Ordinarily a man doesn’t have any advance warning when the tight squeezes of his life are coming up. Certainly I had none that day in Alaska. Maybe the red squirrel had nothing to do with it. Maybe there was some other reason why the brown bear left the moose trail she was following on the mountain a hundred yards above me, and came…

Fourteen weeks after President Donald Trump ordered an attack on Iran, the U.S. military is adjusting to an unusual state of conflict that is not full-scale war, but also far from peace.On ships and bases in the Middle East, U.S. troops — some recovering from injuries — operate amid exchanges of fire with Iran every few days as the Navy blockades Iran’s ports. At home, the Pentagon is scrambling to bolster production of depleted munitions as families of service members cope with the stress of extended deployments. Counterattacks from Iran continue against U.S. allies in the region, such as Bahrain…
