China has a plan. It wants to be the dominant technology country by 2035. If you look, it’s clear to see how they’re executing on that plan. They’re massively investing in hardware and software development to catch up to, and eventually overtake, the United States. If they’re successful, we’ll experience serious ramifications for our economy and national security.

"Overall, hunter success was below average at 52 percent," said wildlife biologist Steve Atwood. The 10-year average is an 84 percent success rate, but Atwood attributes some of that to...

Fall is that time of year when neighbors help neighbors with gathering, shipping, weaning, and preg testing. It is a concept right out of a Hallmark card... as long as it is a nice, balmy autumn day. However, when the weatherman plays a cruel joke and the thermometer dips below zero and everything is frozen solid on the morning of the gathering, it is either true friends or non creative friends who couldn't craft an excuse to show up to ride! I am not sure which category we fell under several years back when we found...
