During the fire season, it’s tough enough for fire crews trying to put out wildfires, while dealing with hot temperatures and often windy conditions. Over the past week, however, crews ran up against another obstacle as they battled blazes: drones.

Thus far, two drone sightings have forced firefighting aircraft to land. The first happened during the Goodwin Fire, and the second incident occurred over the weekend, at the Crusher Fire near Flagstaff. The Crusher Fire was halted by firefighters Saturday afternoon, before it could grow much larger than five acres.    Continue reading “Man facing charges for alleged drone incursion incident at Goodwin Fire”

When Daniel Harnsberger leaves his home on the East Coast and drives into Appalachia, he usually packs a T-shirt covered in Hillary Clinton faces and spandex wrestling briefs that say “Progressive Liberal.”

That’s his wrestling persona — and his costume. And most weekends, Harnsberger dons it to work in semipro regional circuits as a stereotypical coastal elite who trolls in Donald Trump country. (He sometimes also wears a shirt that says “Not My President.”)   Continue reading “Appalachian Wrestling’s Greatest Villain: ‘The Progressive Liberal’”

Raising the minimum wage only increases operating costs thus raising the prices of goods and services. Until taxation and regulation burdens are lessened or negated the only effects raising the minimum wage will have is slowly destroying the dollar and making life harder for the working class.

A federal judge in Michigan has temporarily barred U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement from deporting a group of more than 1,400 Iraqi nationals for at least two weeks, expanding an order that initially applied only to those in the Detroit area.

The Iraqis covered by the injunction have been convicted of crimes in the U.S. — in some cases, decades ago. Since then, they’ve been allowed to remain in their communities under supervision. They face deportation because Iraq recently agreed to issue travel documents for their repatriation — but the Iraqis say they need a chance to show why they should be allowed to stay in the U.S.   Continue reading “Federal Judge Temporarily Blocks Deportation Of 1,400 Iraqis Nationwide”

I was just discussing this yesterday, they always hesitate and let the fire get out of control, I’m positive this is part of the UN’s “re-wilding” program, I’m not going to pretend a state filled with military airplanes moth balled on the tarmac can’t go fast and full force to put out forest fires bordering residential areas.
