Through the Pittman-Roberson Act, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service will be distributing millions of dollars to states for wildlife conservation projects Unprecedented gun and ammunition sales have helped bring record tax revenue for federal conservation programs this year. According to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS), guns, ammo, and archery tackle have raked in $1.1 billion. The money will be distributed as federal grants to state wildlife agencies under the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration (WSFR) Program. Along with this revenue, the USFWS brought in another $400 million in taxes from fishing equipment and boating fuel for a...

Squires: America is learning: Countries that sow self-hatred, narcissism, and feminized masculinity reap self-destructionOne of the most fascinating developments over the past week has been watching political pundits and social commentators celebrate virtues in Ukraine, from armed resistance to national loyalty, that are frequently criticized in America. My sense is that the ruling class assumes our citizens would have the same response to a hostile foreign invasion. They may be right, but the biblical principle of sowing and reaping suggests a very different outcome. A recent tweet from NPR is one example of the type of seed that finds fertile...

Europeans do not want to merge with Ukraine, and most Ukrainians and Russians do not want that merger either. Yet the Deep State has pressed for this fantasy until the horrible conflagration ignited. This is the so-called New World Order that leads nations into wars. In the United States and western Europe, the unelected officials who comprise the Deep State think they can force global alliances that are contrary to millennia of bonds and cultures. On Monday, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced his new application to become a member of the European Union, in defiance of Russia. Zelenskyy requested immediate...

Authorities are searching for the person responsible for killing one dog and sickening three with ibuprofen-laced meat. “A small amount of ibuprofen can be toxic, even deadly for dogs,” the Bannock County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release last Friday. Authorities believe the strategically placed hot dogs, which have been found along trails near Pocatello, Idaho, are an intentional attempt to poison local pets. So far, the motive is unclear. “It could be that somebody thought it was a prank, and it could be that it was malicious and they were trying to take pets out,” says Jared Fisher....

Google's YouTube said Tuesday that it would block Kremlin-backed media outlets RT and Sputnik from Europe following similar bans by Facebook and TikTok. "It’ll take time for our systems to fully ramp up. Our teams continue to monitor the situation around the clock to take swift action," Google's video streaming service said in a statement. YouTube's ban — following an announcement from the European Commission that it wanted to remove these Russian media outlets from the EU — would apply within the European Union and the U.K

The Decline is RealPlummeting testosterone levels will destroy society.Men today have considerably less testosterone than men of the same age even a single generation ago. I’m not talking figuratively, like your boomer uncle might. I mean it: men today really do have considerably less testosterone than men of the same age even a single generation ago.As part of the Massachusetts Male Aging Study, data were gathered on 1500 randomly selected men in the Boston area, in three separate periods spanning 17 years (1987-1989, 1995-97 and 2002-2004). Various biomarkers were measured, including levels of total testosterone as well as bioavailable testosterone...

resident Biden has declared victory over COVID. Congress should take him at his word and defund all of the vaccine and mask mandates now. Just two weeks ago, Congress received 25 million emails urging them to defund the vaccine mandates in the Continuing Resolution to fund the government. Unfortunately, the Senate failed to do the job by voting 46-47 against a Senator Mike Lee vaccine mandate defund amendment and 44–49 against a separate amendment to defund mask requirements by Senator Ted Cruz. The vaccine mandate defund amendment lost because four GOP Senators, Lindsey Graham, Mitt Romney, James Inhofe and Richard...

On February 28th, Ukraine’s President, Prime Minister, and Speaker signed Ukraine’s official EU membership bid. There is a high chance that the application will be approved, with the process due to begin this month. To understand the realistic timeframe of Ukraine’s legal and cultural re-integration into the European family, read European Pravda editor Sergiy Sydorenko’s article Ukraine’s EU Membership: When and How the Union Will Review the Bid. Putin has always wanted Ukraine to be neutral. By invading the country in 2014, he aimed, among other things, to block Ukraine’s accession to NATO and the EU. Moscow has never really...

Russian natural-gas giant Gazprom, oil-producer Lukoil and leading bank Sberbank are all penny stocks based on their trading on the London Stock Exchange, as the local market was shut for a third day. Sberbank SBER, -87.43%, which had assets of over $500 billion at the end of 2021, was trading for 3 cents a share in afternoon action. The European Commission on Wednesday approved the resolution plan for its Croatian and Slovenian arms that will be sold. Its Austrian and Czech operations will be wound down, with depositors compensated up to €100,000. Lukoil LKOD, -96.03%, Gazprom OGZD, -84.21%, and Rosneft...

President Joe Biden’s state of the union address on Tuesday was so unremarkable that even the Hollywood celebrities who campaigned for him had little to say. So they spent the hour attacking and snarking at Republicans instead, with one star even calling for physical violence against a sitting member of Congress. Stars including Mark Ruffalo, Bradley Whitford, Rosanna Arquette, and Oscars co-host Wanda Sykes stoked hatred toward the GOP while completely ignoring the president. Some even brought up former President Donald Trump, who was not mentioned once during the televised address. [cut]Comedian and newly appointed Oscars co-host Wanda Sykes advocated...

There is no question that Russian President Vladimir Putin has seriously miscalculated and violated international law by invading Ukraine. After getting assurances that Ukraine would not be invited to join NATO, the Russian strongman should have taken a deep breath and focused on some domestic political reforms. Instead, he appears to be in over his head — and the Russian Army appears grossly incompetent. What the Western democracies don’t need to do is commit an equally grave miscalculation and provide the opportunity for Putin to ignite a third world war that could lead to nuclear conflict. Are we in the...

While Russia wages a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the U.S. Army is putting its soldiers through training on gender pronouns and coaching officers on when to offer soldiers gender transition surgery,

Ukraine State Emergency Service/Reuters Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned that a third world war would be “nuclear” and “destructive,” essentially warning NATO not to intervene militarily in Ukraine, a day after peace talks failed to temper the bloodshed and as Russian paratroopers descended on the city of Kharkiv, the second largest city in the nation and the epicenter of fierce fighting. Ukraine’s defense ministry confirmed the arrival of Russian airborne troops on Telegram, though it is unclear if they are involved in a ground battle just yet. “There is an ongoing fight between the invaders and the Ukrainians,” they...

Pictures have emerged from the streets of Ukraine showing the smouldering wrecks of Russian tanks destroyed amid brutal urban fighting as Putin's invasion of his neighbour continues. Huge convoys of Russian armour have rumbled into several Ukrainian cities, only to be met with fierce resistance as well-armed troops used a mixture of their own and NATO-supplied anti-tank weapons to wreak havoc on the invaders. Some of the most shocking images of the devastation inflicted on Russian armour came from the town of Bucha on the outskirts of Kyiv, where an entire column of tanks and armoured vehicles were obliterated. Taken...

Vladimir Putin’s propaganda machine has waged another misinformation campaign to justify his illegitimate invasion. But this time around, we can’t afford to buy in. The war will be won with weapons, but history will judge truth from falsehood. I am the son of Ukrainian-Jewish refugees. My entire extended family lives in the Eastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro, where they face artillery bombardment and threat of ground force invasion. Even worse, Russian president Vladimir Putin now threatens to prepare his nuclear arsenal. My family are no strangers to bloodshed. My great grandparents perished in the Holocaust and on the battlefields of...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell made clear Wednesday that the Fed will begin raising interest rates this month in a high-stakes effort to restrain surging inflation. In prepared testimony he will deliver to a congressional committee, Powell cautions that the financial consequences of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine are “highly uncertain.” He says the Fed will “need to be nimble” in responding to unexpected changes resulting from the war or the sanctions that the United States and Europe have imposed in response.

Democrats and Republicans in Washington at times displayed unity as President Joe Biden addressed the nation at his first State of the Union on Tuesday night. Members of both parties stood to applaud the Ukrainian ambassador and Biden's announcement that United States airspace would close to Russian planes. But sharp divides between the parties were evident, too, including when the president brought up his late son, Beau Biden, an Iraq War veteran who died of brain cancer in 2015. Biden on Tuesday called on Congress to pass legislation to aid veterans exposed to toxins while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan...
