The Federalist: No-Fault: The Latest Divorce Memoir Not Worth Your Read
Haley Mlotek’s memoir, "No-Fault: A Memoir of Romance and Divorce," fails to deliver a coherent narrative or meaningful insights into marriage and divorce. The author admits to not understanding her marriage's end and provides a disjointed collection of thoughts rather than a structured story.
The book reflects a liberal feminist perspective while neglecting substantial research on the negative impacts of divorce, particularly on children. Mlotek's exploration lacks depth, and her conclusions leave readers with little understanding of her experiences or the broader implications of divorce.

The Federalist: Trimming NASA To Focus On Lunar Space Race Is A Good Move
NASA is facing a significant budget cut of 24%, reducing its funding from $24.9 billion to $18.8 billion, with a focus shift from scientific programs to establishing a permanent human presence on the Moon and preparing for Mars missions. This change aims to enhance U.S. strategic positioning in space amid competition from China.
The Trump administration's strategy prioritizes lunar operations over scientific exploration, reflecting a need to secure vital resources on the Moon. The plan involves phasing out the costly Space Launch System and redirecting funds to ensure the U.S. maintains its foothold in space.

The Federalist: Inside The Process Driving Biden's 'Clean Energy' Frenzy
President Trump paused federal leasing and permitting for offshore wind projects, including the Empire Wind installation near Long Island, citing concerns over rushed approvals and insufficient analysis from the previous administration. Local stakeholders expressed relief, highlighting dysfunction in the permitting process.
The Biden administration's push for offshore wind faced criticism for bypassing necessary compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act and for inadequate timelines for environmental reviews. As the administration granted financial deferrals for wind projects, it simultaneously tightened regulations for oil drilling, raising concerns about favoritism in energy policy.
Breitbart: U.S. and China Agree to Suspend Most Tariff Hikes
The U.S. and China have agreed to suspend most tariffs from their recent trade conflict for 90 days while negotiations continue. The U.S. will lower its tariff on Chinese imports to 10% from 125%, and China will reciprocate, also reducing its tariff to 10%.
This agreement aims to stabilize their economic relationship and prevent further escalation. A separate 20% tariff related to fentanyl will remain in place, and both nations will continue discussions to foster a mutually beneficial trade environment.

On The Water: Striper Fishing with Soft-Plastic Worms
Spring has arrived early in upstate New York, prompting excitement for striped bass fishing. The author reflects on a successful day of largemouth bass fishing, leading to a new strategy for targeting stripers by using noisy, rattling baits that mimic the sounds of worms and crabs in warmer waters.
Research indicates that striped bass are more active when water temperatures reach 50 degrees, coinciding with the emergence of aquatic worms. The author experiments with various soft plastics and incorporates scents to enhance bait effectiveness, ultimately achieving success on the water with the new techniques.
