The Project 2025" allegedly proposing to sell off all public land under the guise of addressing the housing crisis raises significant ethical and practical concerns. While housing shortages are a critical issue, selling off public lands may not be the most effective or sustainable solution. It could potentially lead to irreversible consequences such as loss of green spaces, increased urbanization, and reduced access to recreational areas for communities. Therefore, it's crucial to critically assess the motives and implications behind such proposals before considering their implementation.

It's evident from my previous coverage that I'm deeply committed to advocating for the preservation and accessibility of public lands. These lands are not just vast expanses; they're vital for outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, hunting, and recreational vehicle use, which millions of Americans enjoy annually.

()

However, there's a concerning trend where powerful interests—developers, certain conservation groups, and profit-driven mining and logging companies—are pushing to strip away these lands. They often starve government agencies of resources, paving the way for the sale of public lands to the highest bidder.

()

Recently, the 'Project 2025' Republican playbook has intensified this threat by proposing the mass sell-off of federal and state public lands under the guise of solving the housing crisis. On the surface, this proposal may sound appealing—who wouldn't support addressing a housing shortage affecting millions? Yet, this approach is deeply flawed and deceptive.

()

Let's be clear: selling off public lands won't solve the housing crisis; it will likely exacerbate it. It's a scheme designed to enrich those who are already exceedingly wealthy, at the expense of ordinary Americans and the environment we've worked hard to preserve for future generations.

()

William Perry Pendley, a key figure in Project 2025, has advocated for this agenda, claiming that unused federal lands could be repurposed for housing development. He and others argue that opening up these lands to developers would create new opportunities for home ownership. However, this narrative is misleading and, frankly, dishonest.

()

The reality is that these lands are not sitting idle; they serve critical ecological functions and provide recreational opportunities that enrich our lives. Selling them off would mean losing green spaces, increasing urban sprawl, and limiting public access to nature—a priceless resource.

()

In conclusion, while the housing crisis demands urgent and innovative solutions, sacrificing our public lands is not the answer. It's imperative to reject deceptive schemes like Project 2025 and instead focus on sustainable, equitable solutions that preserve our natural heritage for generations to come.

Bolivian general arrested after apparent failed coup attempt as government faces new crisis

Bolivian general arrested after apparent failed coup attempt as government faces new crisis

Led by a top general vowing to “restore democracy,” armored vehicles rammed the doors of Bolivia’s government palace Wednesday in what the president called a coup attempt, then quickly retreated — the latest crisis in the South American country facing a political battle and an economic crisis.(

)

Within hours, the nation of 12 million people saw a rapidly moving scenario in which the troops seemed to take control of the government of President Luis Arce. He vowed to stand firm and named a new army commander, who immediately ordered the troops to stand down.

Soon the soldiers pulled back, along with a line of military vehicles, ending the rebellion after just three hours. Hundreds of Arce’s supporters then rushed the square outside the palace, waving Bolivian flags, singing the national anthem and cheering.

The soldiers’ retreat was followed by the arrest of army chief Gen. Juan José Zúñiga, after the attorney general opened an investigation.

Government Minister Eduardo del Castillo said that in addition to Zúñiga, former navy Vice Adm. Juan Arnez Salvador was taken into custody.

“What was this group’s goal? The goal was to overturn the democratically elected authority,” del Castillo told journalists in announcing the arrests.

Late Wednesday, Defense Minister Edmundo Novillo said “everything is now under control.” Surrounded by the new military chiefs appointed by Arce, Novillo said that Bolivia lived a “failed coup.”(

)

The apparent coup attempt came as the country has faced months of tensions and political fights between Arce and his one-time ally, former leftist president Evo Morales, over control of the ruling party. It also came amid a severe economic crisis.

The Oilers Are Astonishing

The Oilers Are Astonishing

The first seven minutes of Game 6 were notable to me because, finally, both teams in the Stanley Cup Final appeared to be on even psychological footing. Florida was humbled by back-to-back losses after a steamroller start, but they knew they needed just one more good performance to seal their title. Edmonton had found a more sustainable fuel beyond the mad desperation of a 3-0 and then 3-1 deficit, and balancing out their ongoing series disadvantage was a deafening home arena that could almost convince you the stakes were winner-take-all. This confrontation was no longer cat-and-mouse but simply two great teams, anxious to avoid mistakes but salivating over what could lie on the other side of 60 minutes.()

And then Edmonton broke the game open with a gorgeous, gorgeous goal that started a party they hope will last all the way through a cross-continental flight and one more win on Monday. They've been a vicious counter attacking team as they've reversed their fortunes in this Final, and another turnover created space for Leon Draisaitl to pilot a 3-on-2. Warren Foegele fell down as he collided with Aaron Ekblad, but he got back up again, raced to the net, and finished Leon's pass to beat Sergei Bobrovsky for the 1-0 lead.

Friday was an absolutely glorious night to be an Oilers fan. As Edmonton orchestrated an eventual 5-1 win, their live audience created probably the most emotional atmosphere for a non-clincher that I've ever witnessed. With Oiler joy came absolute misery for the Panthers, whose fearsome aura of undisputed superiority has diffused into wispy, irrelevant memory in the span of just a week. Nothing went right for them in Game 6. After regrouping from a first period in which they produced a season-low two shots on goal, they immediately surrendered a 2-on-1 haymaker from Adam Henrique on yet another quick change of possession. When Aleksander Barkov responded instantly with a goal from a dirty spot, his triumph was negated by a barely perceptible offside decision upon review. To send the Oilers into the second intermission with more momentum after a pretty conservative stretch, Zach Hyman jumped on a loose puck after a blocked shot and rocketed toward Bobrovsky for a breakaway success—no McDavid necessary.()

Multiple times this year I've heard the Panthers' enthusiastically pulverizing style compared to a football team with a juggernaut offensive line, which may not run up flashy scores in the first quarter but exhausts the defense into submission for the drives that matter most. Again, like in Game 5, Florida improved on a poor start, and at the onset of the third a Barkov goal that actually counted gave Alberta a dark cloud to look up and worry about. But that wear-em-down ethos doesn't function the same when the opening stretch is such a mismatch. This team can squeeze the life out of their opponents in a tight contest, but as the Oilers stayed impervious on the

 penalty kill and Stuart Skinner kept cool even when the Cats turned up the heat, there was just no way for the Panthers to redeem themselves from a 3-0 score. Even the potential for a strong finish going into Game 7 was erased by the ecstasy of Ryan McLeod's empty netter, and then, 12 seconds later, Darnell Nurse's empty-netter off a Skinner save. This is the hockey equivalent of sticking your own bully's head in the toilet.
