The CDC lists mental health as a public concern with studies suggesting farmer suicides are double that of the general population. Farming is a uniquely stress-inducing job and lifestyle. Farm bankruptcies continue to rise due to unpredictable market forces that all lie outside of the farmers’ control…These include increasing costs like fertilizer and diesel, and the pressure of unpredictable weather, including droughts, hurricanes and climate extremes. The mental health toll this takes on farmers is extreme… “At the end of the day, they feel like they’re fighting a losing battle, and … some people think that there’s only one way...

🚢 After more than 19 months in Mobile, the historic SS United States is scheduled to begin its final voyage Monday, November 9, at 9 a.m., weather permitting. 🌊 The 990-foot ocean liner will be towed from Modern American Recycling Services Pier 4 on the Mobile River, through Mobile Bay and into the Gulf of Mexico.

I've been pontificating and wringing my hands over the electoral debacle of last week, but now it is time to form a plan to circumvent the coming evil and debauchery. I've been thinnking about this and come up with a few ideas. I believe we will be reasonably safe if Trump exercises his veto for the next few years. But after that all hell will be set loose. The electoral and societal machinery will probably elect a DEI DSA socialist in 2028. They will attempt o destroy the Christian religion. They will continue to destroy the nuclear family. They will...

The widow of Alex Klinner, the Alabama airman killed in combat operations in Iran in March, said she voted Tuesday for Doug Jones and other candidates Alex “would have supported.” "Alex struggled serving under an administration that so blatantly views our military members as expendable. And I hate that he died because of it."

Nvidia’s board of directors announced Sunday that it’s launching an independent investigation following reports that CEO Jensen Huang was targeted by a Chinese spy operation. Nvidia also published a message that Huang sent to the company admitting that he had an affair with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based chip company Megaspeed (though he didn’t mention her by name). A memo circulating among U.S. policymakers earlier this year claimed that Alice Huang had been recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security to spy on Nvidia’s CEO. “I owe my family and all of you an apology,” Jensen Huang wrote....

Two passenger jets narrowly avoided a potentially catastrophic midair collision shortly after taking off from Los Angeles International Airport early Saturday, after one aircraft made an unauthorized turn into the other’s flight path. An Air France Airbus bound for Papeete, Tahiti, reportedly came within just 400ft vertically of an American Airlines Airbus headed to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

When Lucia Lloyd immigrated to Canada in 2019, she thought she had moved far away enough from President Donald Trump’s America. She said she was already upset when Trump first took office in 2017, but the president's controversial nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court and the judge's subsequent confirmation amid sexual misconduct allegations was the last straw for her. “So, that was the day that I started researching whether I could move to Canada, and it turned out to be the end,” said Lloyd, a Virginia native who is now a priest at an Anglican Church in...

The daughter of Paraguay's embattled former president Santiago Pena received heavy backlash for posting a mirror selfie wearing a t-shirt with the slogan 'Tax The Poor.' Costanza Pena, who is currently an economics and history student at New York City's Columbia University, caused upset over the photo as her father is under investigation after the collapse of a major digital bank in her home country. The 21-year-old's t-shirt scandal comes as her father offered his resignation via X after the crisis at government-linked Ueno Bank turned Pena's own party against him and is currently under house arrest. Ueno Bank is...

Explanation: The sky glows with soft pinkish colors of fading twilight in this serendipitous mountaintop vista. Taken in subfreezing temperatures, the thoughtfully composed photo shows snowy, rugged peaks seen from a mountain pass on 2017 November 14. Below lies the village of La Villa, Alta Badia in Italy's Dolomite Alps. Above the nestled village lights, the constellation Ursa Major hangs over the northern horizon. But most stunning is the intense fireball meteor. It was captured during the camera's exposure by chance as it flashed east to west across the northern horizon, under Ursa Major's familiar Big Dipper asterism. Sightings of...

It was two days before Christmas when David Baltzer, a physically healthy man in his 30s, received a call from a Veterans Affairs Canada caseworker offering him medically assisted death. A former soldier who had served two tours in Afghanistan, Baltzer had been receiving psychological treatment for PTSD and suicidal thoughts. He relied on veterans' benefits to survive after struggling to reintegrate into civilian life, so he was shocked when he received a letter informing him that his benefits had been cut. Upset and looking for answers, he called Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC). But rather than receiving the help he...

Kilkenny, Ireland — Absolute mayhem erupted Saturday night at HSTikkyTokky’s Unhinged Promotions 3 when controversial British activist Tommy Robinson was attacked by Muslim influencer and fighter Mo Deen, sparking a wild ring-side brawl that forced police to shut the entire show down before the main event could even begin. The chaos kicked off after Mo Deen finally scored his first boxing win, knocking out overmatched opponent MrTikTokUK with a vicious stoppage after dropping him multiple times. Instead of celebrating, the streamer-turned-fighter immediately leapt out of the ring and charged toward the commentary area, gunning for Robinson, who was ringside watching...

Democrats hold 54 seats, and two races are still being counted. In Mississippi/Alaska I expect Democrats to win both. Republicans nominated candidates who couldn’t win, and in most of those races, Donald Trump made the pick. Republicans still hold the White House and that conservatives still have a 6-3 majority on the Supreme Court. Those checks will last only as long as Republicans keep winning elections, and the next two cycles look dangerous.

As violent mobs of Muslims and nihilist leftist youth menace the cathedral in Milan and the Louvre in Paris, torch historic buildings, and threaten revolution, I wonder if we are thinking clearly about the morality of using deadly force in defense of public order, private property, and our civilizational heritage. Put bluntly, would European police open fire on a mob if it were the only way to stop the destruction of the palace of Versailles or St. Peter’s Basilica? Should they? And if they did, would American Christians wring their hands about it, tut-tutting that “human life has infinite value.”...

Texas Republicans touched off a battle of mid-decade redistricting efforts when they embraced a plan pushed by President Donald Trump for the GOP-controlled legislature to redraw congressional districts to make them more friendly to Republicans. California retaliated with its own gerrymandering in an effort to flip five seats held by Republicans to counter the effort to redraw five seats in Texas. While Republicans redrew 15 congressional seats to try to flip over the past two years, as of Thursday afternoon they are projected to lose more than two-thirds of them. Meanwhile, California's Proposition 50 ballot initiative that redrew five seats...
