The September day was rapidly fading as 12-year-old Kaci Bulkley settled in for a shot at her first elk, a huge bull, 600 yards away. She couldn’t quite get her custom-built 7mm Remington magnum rifle steady enough, so her dad, Hazer Bulkley, offered some help. “I wasn’t feeling too steady. So my dad took off his shoe, and put it under the gunstock” Kaci told Cowboy State Daily. That provided the solid rest she needed, so she pulled the trigger and landed a lethally solid hit. “He (the bull) took about 10 seconds to go down. He went about five...

As Europeans scrambled to help Volodymyr Zelensky push back on America’s 28-point peace plan, the Ukrainian president’s first European call was with the leaders of Britain, France and Germany. In Johannesburg for the G20 summit, this trio—Britain’s Sir Keir Starmer, France’s Emmanuel Macron and Germany’s Friedrich Merz—sat down together the next day to agree on a strategy, dispatching their respective national-security advisers to meet American and Ukrainian delegations in Geneva. Quietly, the trio is emerging as Europe’s new top-tier leadership.

It is often said that “the first casualty when war comes is truth.” A criminal warrant just issued in Germany shows that war continues to claim its victims. However, this warrant could prove to be as great an indictment not just of the government of Volodymyr Zelensky, but also of former President Joe Biden.This week, a German court issued an arrest warrant for Ukrainian Serhii Kuznietsov, which may finally confirm what was long suspected: that Ukraine was responsible for the 2022 sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines in the waters near Denmark and Sweden.The Biden administration may have been given...

Explanation: This is not a screen from a video game. Nestled below the treeline, the small mountain church does look like it might be hiding from Moon though. In the well-composed telephoto snapshot, taken on November 23, the church walls are partly reflecting light from terrestrial flood lights. Of course, the Moon is reflecting light from the Sun. At any given time the Sun illuminates fully half of the Moon's surface, also known as the lunar dayside, but on that night only a sliver of its sunlit surface was visible. About three days after New Moon, the Moon was in...

Shutdown debate misses the fact that illegals already get taxpayer-funded healthcare through other pathwaysAmid yet another government shutdown, the finger-pointing on Capitol Hill has intensified. Although the primary disagreement between the parties concerns the fate of pandemic-era Obamacare subsidies, another healthcare-related dispute has consumed the headlines. Would the Democrats’ budget really give healthcare benefits to illegal immigrants? The allegation is valid, but this small dispute distracts from a broader truth: Illegal immigrants already access public health benefits through a variety of pathways, most of which will continue regardless of how the shutdown ends.The current dispute is driven largely by confusion...

Come Nov. 1, millions of low-income families—42 million SNAP recipients nationwide—face the prospect of empty cards and bare pantries, barring an unlikely last-minute deal in Congress.This has created three unfortunate realizations. First, many honest people facing tough circumstances may be denied needed resources. Second, U.S. citizens who are obviously scamming the welfare system are promising on social media to steal what they want from grocery...
