A cop was going after someone and this guy stepped between them. Then the cops went after both people and this guy resisted. cops likely yelled gun, a cop saw movement that made him fear for his life and he shot. It happened in a matter of seconds and watching replays in slow motion is...

100% avoidable just like the lady who was shot. If you are armed and fight with cops, you might get shot. If you drive a car at a cop, you might get shot. If you let the cops do their job, you won’t get shot.

"The U.S. Department of Homeland Security described the ICE operation at Thao’s home as a “targeted operation” seeking two convicted sex offenders. “The US citizen lives with these two convicted sex offenders at the site of the operation,” DHS said. “The individual refused to be fingerprinted...

Did you read the part of your story where ICE was looking for 2 sex offenders who lived at his house? Did they get the wrong guy? It looks like it, but I'll give the cops the benefit of the doubt over the guy living with 2 sex offenders.

You're saying ICE is just randomly cruising streets and randomly breaking into houses to arrest random people for no reason? No way. They are conducting searches for specific people, who more often than not, do not live alone. If you are in the US illegally, you are breaking the law and...

No wolf killing allowed in Minnesota and there there's currently not a hunting/trapping season in Wisconsin although that may change. I'm not sure if snares were allowed in Wisconsin when wolf hunting/trapping was allowed. I know they shot the crap out of the wolves when they last had a...

We hunt a lot of weyerhaeuser paper company land in Wisconsin, but over the years most of those properties have been sold off to hunters. It is quite a loss for hunters because there were thousands of acres of private ground open to public hunting and now most of those properties are posted...

I use cleft grafting for all of my apple grafting. That was easier for me to do than the whip and tongue.

Holy cow, you are really getting after it. I didn't have any problems grafting their dolgo seedlings, but I try to cut scion in different diameters to match the rootstock diameter as closely as possible. I've found that I enjoy grafting about 20 apple trees from rootstock every year, but...

I heard the Charlie Kirk's company Turning Point will be having an alternate Super Bowl halftime show. They haven't released the list of singers, but I'd think they would have some really solid options to pick from.

If corn/bean rotation brought you the goldenrod, I'd go back to that type of rotation for a couple years if your goldenrod field starts to change into something less desirable. Goldenrod can hold its own for a while, so it will be interesting to hear how long it lasts for you. Perhaps when it...

It is more profitable to sell the land in 40 acre chunks to hunters than to harvest trees on large chunks of land.

The northeast part of Minnesota had some of the best hunting in the country and some giant bucks years ago. The largest sheds ever found came from that area, but I’ve heard the deer hunting is rough there now. It is really too bad this stupid state is so opposed to wolf management. They...

Red splendor crabapple is the best crabapple I know for birds. You can get grafted versions for $25 or a package of 20 seedlings for $50 from many county tree sales. I’ve planted a lot of those. Seedling fruit size varies, but more than half are still perfect for birds and the rest are better...
