A fight over who controls war powers is unfolding on Capitol Hill as House Democrats move to force a binding vote that could block President Donald Trump from launching or expanding military action in Venezuela without direct authorization from Congress.The showdown is unfolding as the Trump administration carries out U.S. strikes it says are aimed at cartel and narcotics operations in the Caribbean, causing lawmakers to confront urgent questions about presidential authority, regional stability, and the risk of a wider conflict. Recent activity involving boat strikes and warship movements near Venezuela has raised questions about the administration’s long-term goals and…
The Department of Government Efficiency has come out against a report by Reuters, in which the media outlet declared that the agency was no longer operational and said it “doesn’t exist.” DOGE has rejected the report as “fake news.” The Reuters report claimed that DOGE had been disbanded; however, the agency has since stated that that was false information, and insists that it remains operational and will resume regular updates. More specifically, Reuters stated in the report on Sunday that DOGE had effectively disbanded eight months before its mandate expired. The report said that Office of Personnel Management Director Scott…
Snowless winters are a bummer for skiers and riders, but for resort operators, they can spell disaster. Wisconsin’s Whitecap Mountains Resort (WMR) is learning that harsh truth firsthand. On Nov. 19, the resort, once named the “snowiest” ski area in the state, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after two consecutive low-snowfall seasons torpedoed its revenue. During the 2022/23 ski season, the resort saw a whopping 260 inches of snowfall. But in the 2023/24 season, just a year later, WMR’s winter precipitation dropped to less than 30 inches. According to court papers, WMR’s revenue plummeted 86% that year, from $1.4…
I’m a big fan of all of our enumerated rights, even if I focus on our right to keep and bear arms here at this website. So I was intrigued when I saw a column by Indiana physician Raja Ramaswamy that argued we should be protecting our First Amendment rights like we do our Second; after all, we regularly document treatment of the Second Amendment as a second-class right, and I’d argue that we should be protecting our Second Amendment rights like we do our First. Ramaswamy’s first complaint is that Indiana University ended the print…
In many areas of our society today, the line between work and rest often blurs with continued work-related activity. As laptops and smartphones invade our evenings, our workday has found a way to creep into our end of the day when we should be focusing on relaxing, resting and digesting. The goal of each evening should be to end the day’s stress with stress-relieving activities such as walking, deep breathing, physical affection, laughing and even crying if needed. This helps us to “complete the cycle” of the day’s stresses and allows for better sleep and improved focus tomorrow to handle…
A handful of items live in my backcountry ski pack all season, regardless of where I’m going or how long I ski. The list includes a waterproof and windproof shell, Voile ski straps, an avi shovel and probe, a pair of glacier goggles, a bar of skin wax, a hand tool, and, as of last spring, I added the Arc’teryx Atom Hoody as an emergency layer. This lightweight insulated jacket is perfect for active outdoor pursuits such as backcountry skiing. This fall, I also used it for hiking, traveling, and wearing around town. And, with a waterproof shell over it,…
In a historic first, the Department of Justice has filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court in a Second Amendment case that sides with plaintiffs challenging a gun control law. The DOJ’s brief in Wolford v. Lopez, filed with the Supreme Court on Monday, argues that Hawaii’s law prohibiting lawful concealed carry by default on all private property effectively negates the right to keep and bear arms. As the Justice Department notes, before the Supreme Court struck down “may issue” carry regimes in Bruen, it was virtually impossible to obtain a license in Hawaii. Once…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream. They are getting all of their ducks in a row for a war with Venezuela. Do you think that it is just a coincidence that Southern Command just canceled leave for Thanksgiving and Christmas? And do you think that it is just a coincidence that the Trump administration just designated “Cartel de los Soles” as a foreign terrorist organization? This is going to allow the Trump administration to take military action against Venezuela without formally declaring war. As you will see below, so many of…
The Second Amendment isn’t just for people who express certain political shibboleths. It’s for every single American. Technically, it’s a human right that should extend across national borders, but most countries don’t see it that way. We do, and that’s part of what makes this nation so great.Wired, which tends to present gun rights as something to be freaked out about, at best, decided to do a little bit to look at it differently. They opted to focus on the hard left crowd that is into guns, which is fine. Then, of course, they became…
To understand the new politics stance and other pro nationals of recent times, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement of the latest generation. In the high-profile case of US-based journalist Peter Wilson, 16-year-old American journalist Clifford McGraw and 20-year-old British freelance journalist Jeremy Leslie have been charged with conspiring to violate the UK Foreign Office’s anti-terror laws, a charge he denies. On Monday, UK attorney Andy McDonald revealed that he had spoken. “Few worry about catching Covid anymore, as it’s just a matter of time before they do,” says Tea, a teacher at a school for…

Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn The Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn region is a magnificent area with high mountain ranges, glaciers and is actually the most glaciated part of the European Alps. Visiting this area can be done relatively easy by car and if you want to go up, by train up to 3,400 metres above sea level, the highest train ride in Europe, the Jungfrau Railway is very impressive (and expensive!). The area is on the UNESCO World Heritage list because of its unique and wide range of flora and fauna and geological importance regarding the creating of the High Alps.
