Log loading site, Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Washington Cascades. Photo: Jeffrey St. Clair. The Trump Administration has released five horsemen to run roughshod over America the Beautiful, playing out their version of Manifest Destiny 2.0 at the expense of all that is good and whole. In seemingly separate but connected actions, the very agencies entrusted with protecting our national heritage seek to drive threatened and endangered wildlife off the landscape like the native Americans before them. Under a cloak of “efficiency” and “local control,” they are wreaking havoc leading to plunder, despoilation and lawlessness, clearing the way for bulldozers and…

And that opposition is, to be sure, entirely legitimate. Flock’s camera networks are based on the idea that, while it would obviously be illegal and unconstitutional for law enforcement at any and all levels to put GPS trackers in everyone’s…
Photograph Source: John Mearsheimer – CC BY-SA 3.0 One of the most persuasive critics of US foreign policy and perhaps the best-known contemporary exponent of international relations (IR) theory is John Mearsheimer, a professor at the University of Chicago. But despite his fame and massive audiences on YouTube, the mainstream media organizations (MSM) will have nothing to do with him. The reason is obvious.

God-damned Ripper got the wrong one! Floods caused by a glacial collapse kill at least 160 people on Nepal-China border, hundreds missing. A giant Antarctic glacier is on the brink: How Thwaites could change coastlines worldwide. The Trump administration doesn’t want West Point cadets to learn climate change is contributed by human activity. We asked our climate reporters to highlight one idea for positive change. We got a chronicle of global transformation. Ireland’s ‘Kerry Cow’ bones are actually wild boar and bear, shaking up the story of farming’s arrival on the island. Marco Rubio on UAPs: from Senate inquiry to…
