President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the United States has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela as tensions mount with the government of President Nicolás Maduro.Using U.S. forces to seize an oil tanker is incredibly unusual and marks the Trump administration’s latest push to increase pressure on Maduro, who has been charged with narcoterrorism in the United States. The U.S. has built up the largest military presence in the region in decades and launched a series of deadly strikes on alleged drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean. The campaign is facing growing scrutiny…

This article was originally published by Willow Tohi at Natural News.  President Trump threatens a 5% tariff on Mexican imports unless Mexico releases water owed under a 1944 treaty. The dispute centers on an alleged shortfall of hundreds of thousands of acre-feet of Rio Grande water destined for Texas. Texas farmers face significant agricultural challenges due to the water shortage, impacting crops and livestock. The 1944 treaty governs shared water resources but lacks strict enforcement mechanisms for non-compliance. The confrontation raises questions about balancing trade policy, international agreements, and domestic agricultural needs. In a move that intertwines trade policy, agricultural…

SANTA FE, N.M. — The Trump administration is adding another militarized zone to the southern U.S. border to support border security operations — this time in California.The Department of Interior on Wednesday said it would transfer jurisdiction along most of California’s international border with Mexico to the Navy to reinforce “the historic role public lands have played in safeguarding national sovereignty.”The newly designated militarized zone extends nearly from the Arizona state line to the Otay Mountain Wilderness, traversing the Imperial Valley and border communities including Tecate.Since April, large swaths of border have been designated militarized zones, empowering U.S. troops to…

Granby, Colorado, isn’t a particularly notable mountain town. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a lovely place, but its history is textbook West. Like so many of the towns scattered throughout the Rockies, it was founded a little over 100 years ago along a railroad line–in this case, the Denver, Northwestern & Pacific Railway, as it was known then. Families homesteaded in the area to ranch cattle and grow hay. Each year it gets about 12 inches of rain and 12 feet of snow. Marvin Heemeyer briefly put Granby on the map back in 2004, but for reasons the local chamber…

Texas health officials are warning of a highly contagious and potentially deadly H5 bird flu outbreak. The state warns that cats and other animals can be highly susceptible to getting the avian influenza virus. The highly contagious bird flu, which transmits easily among wild and domestic birds, has now been detected in all 50 states and Puerto Rico, according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD).  While avian influenza is endemic, meaning it occurs regularly, wildlife officials say they’ve seen cases earlier this year, so they want you to be on alert. Millions of birds have already been culled…

Blaine McGraw,” the Army’s Office of Special Trial Counsel said in a statement, adding that the offenses occurred between Jan. 1 and Dec. 1, 2025 and that there were 44 victims.

I was warm from the walk in, and my feet were still on fire from the HotHands I’d stuck in my boots, but I knew the drill: Cool down quick and then zip back up before you get cold. I had my gun propped up on the stand’s rail, and with my headlamp switched off, I was blind in the darkness.  It was still a while before daybreak when…

United States President Donald Trump has given Volodymyr Zelensky only “days” to respond to the peace plan deal.  The agreement would require Kiev to accept territorial losses to Russia in exchange for unspecified security guarantees. The US ruler submitted a peace plan in November that reportedly called for Ukraine to withdraw troops from part of Russia’s Donbass. Kiev currently controls that region, one of Moscow’s key conditions for a broad ceasefire. In early December, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the liberation of Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk), a Donbass city President Vladimir Putin has described as an important “bridgehead” for further offensives.  Previously, this…

Canceled by President Grover Cleveland. Restored by then-Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt — the Army-Navy football game is in its 135th year.The first game, played on the Plain at West Point on Nov. 29, 1890, set the tone for the rivalry, with both teams meting out heavy punishment. Navy’s captain, Red Emrich, was knocked unconscious twice during the game but continued to play, while Army quarterback, Kirby Walker, was also knocked unconscious twice and had to be carried off the field. From there the intensity of the rivalry grew, coming to a head during the 1893 game. After…

President Donald Trump tried to focus on combating inflation during a speech while traveling in Pennsylvania. Yet the issue was quickly dropped in favor of complaining about immigration. This news comes after Vice President JD Vance literally said that immigration is destroying the American Dream. JD Vance: Mass Immigration Is Ruining The American Dream “Why is it we only take people from s—-hole countries, right?” Trump said onstage. “Why can’t we have some people from Norway, Sweden, just a few?” Trump said he objected to taking immigrants from “hellholes like Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia, and many other countries.” He added for…

Christmas is around the corner, and plenty of companies that sell prepping supplies and survival gear are running countdown sales leading up to it.

They are usually flash sales on specific gear or supplies, designed…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog.  I don’t want China to be the world’s most dominant economic superpower. I am an American, and so I want the United States to be the world’s most dominant economic superpower. Unfortunately, the facts that I am about to share with you in this article cannot be denied. We consume far more than we produce, and we go into colossal amounts of debt in order to make that possible. Somehow, we have convinced ourselves that this makes us an economic superpower. Meanwhile, the Chinese produce far more…

By 1944 the United States had entered its fourth year of the Second World War. The invasion to retake Europe had begun June 6, and the American public was transfixed by its military forces clawing back Europe from the clutches of Nazi Germany. Amid this backdrop came the game of the century that, albeit briefly, delivered a respite from the far-flung battles across the globe and drew attention back to a good, old-fashioned American football rivalry. “The Army-Navy game symbolized the continuation of peacetime rivalries in a time of national crisis,” author Randy Roberts wrote in “A Team for America:…
