The Coldest Paradise in Recreational Scuba

There are places where the water is warm, the reefs are colorful, and every dive feels familiar. Then there’s Thunder Bay. Hidden beneath the cold, crystal-clear waters of Lake Huron lies one of North America’s greatest collections of preserved shipwrecks, where history is measured not in museums, but in feet of depth. From the beginner-friendly “Oscar T. Flint” at 33 feet, to the towering machinery of the “Montana” at 63 feet, and finally the legendary “Grecian” resting around 100 feet below the surface, few places offer such a perfect progression for recreational divers. The only catch? You have to embrace the cold—but those who do are rewarded with an underwater time capsule unlike anywhere else in the world.

Hold Them Accountable!

We reported on Tuesday how many law enforcement agencies in Kentucky were cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and now we’re seeing some of the same in the Keystone State. The activists are, of course, thoroughly incensed: “We don’t need our local police enforcing federal law. It is not their job and has proven time …

BOMBSHELL CLAIM: Anthropic researcher puts odds AI ‘kills all humans’ above 10% within a decade

Why Gas Prices Are High When We’re Energy Independent

It confuses many people. Myself included. I will attempt to simplify these complex concepts so that even I can grasp them.

Oil is a globally priced commodity. Pump prices in the U.S. follow world supply and demand without concern for how much we produce. People often ask why the pump price goes up so quickly even when the gas at the station was bought at a lower price. The price at the pump does not reflect the price paid but the replacement cost. The same principle applies in reverse.

A Title Can Make You the Boss. It Cannot Make You a Leader.

I’ve seen it happen more times than I can count.

Someone works hard, gets results, and finally receives the promotion they’ve been chasing. They get a new office, a new title, and maybe even a shiny new nameplate on the door.

And somewhere along the way, they make a dangerous assumption: Now I’m a leader.

Not necessarily.

Spectrum Policy Should Demonstrate: Gov and Biz Can Co-Exist Wisely and Well

A fortnight ago I highlighted an inter-businesses solution that was achieved nigh entirely without DC involvement.

The airline and cell phone industries sat down with each other and reached mutually beneficial solutions to problems that arise because they both utilize wireless spectrum.

When Uncle Sam Ordered a Sewing Machine Company to Make a .45

Before America entered World War II, Uncle Sam looked at the Singer Sewing Machine Company and essentially asked, “Nice factory. Can you make a .45?” The result was just 500 Singer M1911A1 pistols—one of today’s great military-firearms collectibles. Singer wasn’t forced into gunmaking by the Defense Production Act; that law wouldn’t exist until 1950. Instead, the Army paid civilian companies to learn military production before the shooting started. It was industrial mobilization with refreshingly little mystery: you cannot surge a factory you don’t have.

IRAN EYES MIDTERMS: Tehran may want prolonged war for Trump defeat in November

As President Donald Trump teases hard retaliation against Iran after the two sides traded strikes over the weekend, some observers think the ‘failed regime’ believes in can outlast the U.S. and influence the outcome of the midterm elections.

Stockholders Union

Our income is under attack from both the right and left. The socialist left wants corporate profits to be restricted with higher taxes while the Trump administration has been intimidating corps to lower prices – both plans mean less income to pay their shareholders. Corporations use their gross income (profit before tax) for capital improvements and research. What remains after taxes is paid out as dividends to the owners (stockholders). Anyone who has common stock – either personally, in trust or in a retirement account – is at risk of losing income when publicly traded companies encounter reduced profits.

Airlines and Wireless Solved Their Problem – Amongst Themselves. Not Fighting It Out in DC

There are, conservatively, a trillion problems a day that arise in the United States. I would, as a conservative, like government involved in as few of them as possible.

But because government at all levels is so huge? It crowds out all the private spaces – and with them the perception that private solutions are possible.
