Short Wave - Deer Are Expanding North. That Could Hurt Some Species Like Boreal Caribou

Wildlife ecologists have seen white-tailed deer expanding their range in North America over many decades. And since the early-2000s these deer have moved north into the boreal forests of western Canada. These forests are full of spruce and pine trees, sandy soil and freezing winters with lots of snow. They can be a harsh winter wonderland. And ecologists haven't known whether a warmer climate in these forests or human land development might be driving the deer north. A recent study tries to disentangle these factors – and finds that a warming climate seems to play the most significant role in the movement of deer.

The Daily Signal - Warning From Knesset Member: Those Who Attack Israel ‘Are After the US Just the Same’

Terrorists in the Middle East do not despise America only because the U.S. supports Israel, but because America is a Western society, according to Simcha Rothman, a member of the Knesset, Israel’s parliament.


“But people that attack us, they are after the U.S. just the same,” Rothman says. 

“The chant in Iran—‘Death to America, Death to Israel’—it’s not a typo that America comes first,” Rothman asserts, adding that terrorists in the Middle East view Israel “as part of Western society that is stuck in the middle of the Middle East.” 


Because Western ideals threaten the radical ideology Islamic terrorists hold, this makes Israel, and America, an enemy, according to the Knesset member. 


Within the Knesset, Rothman serves as the chairman of the Constitution, Law, and Justice Committee and as a co-chairman of the “Land of Israel” caucus.


Rothman joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss what is driving the anti-Israel protests on America’s college campuses, where the hostage negotiations stand between Israel and Hamas, and how Israel should navigate the ongoing war with Hamas to ensure there is not another Oct. 7-style attack.

Audible is reproducing all Harry Potter books into audiobooks (again), but this time with a full ensemble voice cast (hollywood style) — Because the buckets of media have spilled into each other.

Barry’s Bootcamp is trying to sell itself for at least $700M — Because nothing drives cash flow like a cult.

And T-Mobile has gone from the joke #3 wireless company to the clear #1 — So we whipped up a case study on how they beat Verizon and AT&T.
