Nature is wild.

These creatures are out here fighting to survive, whether they are hunting or being hunted.

There’s no better place to see this sort of wild stuff than somewhere like Grand Teton National Park. It is home to a very healthy population of grizzly bears and lots of other animals too, like elk.

Grizzly bears are a favorite for people to see, they truly are an amazing animal. They are at the top of the food chain wherever they live, reaching weights of over 800 pounds, and able to consume 20,000 calories in a day.

These beasts get big and need to...

Etiquette and Miss Emily Post once frowned upon females who sat gap-legged in public. In Virginia, books in school libraries, teen magazines, and older females often suggested that young ladies cross their legs at the ankle while seated.

For 25-year-old David O'Sullivan, the Pacific Crest Trail was a dream. He spent a full year working in his home country of Ireland to save up enough funds to travel to Campo, on the Mexican border, and thru-hike all the way to Canada. This remote route is 2,650 miles, takes most people around 5 months to complete, and leads hikers through deserts, forests, and mountain peaks, with all types of weather. Tragically, some travelers, like O'Sullivan, never make it home.

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.

About 80 people overtook Aurora’s City Council meeting Monday, causing the mayor to recess the meeting three times in an effort to bring about order. The council then agreed to extend public invited to be heard beyond the one-hour time limit. The speakers showed up to chide the City Council for not punishing the officer that shot and killed Kilyn Lewis. Lewis was a suspect in a crime which is why police approached him. Body camera footage released by the Aurora Police Department showed Lewis did not have a gun and repeatedly yelled “I don’t have nothing!” with his hands in the air. Despite this, officer Michael Dieck killed him with a single shot from his rifle. Lewis never had more than a cell phone in his hand, the video showed.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria.
