Saab officially closed its doors for good in 2014, but the last Saabs sold in the US were for the 2011 model year, when cars like the Saab 9-3 were struggling to move even a few thousand units. We actually really liked the Saab 9-4X, but one solid SUV clearly wasn’t enough to keep the brand in business. Saab may be dead, but it’s not quite buried. That is, if you take a look, you can see Saab DNA in brands like Polestar, Volvo, and Lucid. Many of the engineers who made the company what it was, they didn’t simply…

If you’ve ever hiked up Angel’s Landing — arguably the most iconic trail in Zion National Park — then you know how dangerous it can be. In fact, falling is by far the leading cause of death in America’s second-most-popular national park. That’s what happened to Bernadette Vander Meer in August 2006. She fell to her death from the hiking trail “under suspicious circumstances,” according to local authorities. But after 20 years, no arrest was ever made in connection with her death — until now. On Monday, police arrested David Vander Meer, Bernadette’s husband, on charges of murder and insurance…

Many gun rights supporters believe that gun owners tend to become gun voters, at least to some degree. That’s not universal, of course, because Kamala Harris has a handgun and she was all about banning them for everyone else, but we tend to think people like her are the exception, rather than the rule. However, the results of a survey from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health’s Center for Gun Violence Solutions suggest otherwise. In fact, according to this survey, some of the gun control lobby’s biggest asks for state and federal lawmakers…

CHAMPVA and Tricare are both federal government health care programs tied to military service. They are run by different federal agencies, cover different groups of people and operate on different cost structures. Confusing them is easy. Losing health care coverage because of that confusion is a real and preventable problem that affects veteran families every year. The single most important thing to understand before anything else: If you are eligible for Tricare, you are not eligible for CHAMPVA, the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs. They do not stack. If your circumstances change and you…

Australia is experiencing a bird flu outbreak. It has ramped up surveillance procedures after just two cases of ⁠the highly pathogenic H5N1 bird flu were confirmed in migratory seabirds. It does claim that other birds could also have contracted the virus. Tests are underway in South Australia (SA) after two dead sub-Antarctic seabirds and a pelican ​were found on Monday near Fowlers Bay, more than 1,200 ‌kilometers east of Esperance in Western Australia, (WA) where the first ​two confirmed cases were reported, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), as reported by The Japan Times. Both bird in Fowlers Bay…

Virginia’s ban on “assault firearms” and “large capacity” magazines is set to take effect next Wednesday, barring any last minute injunctions. But the law is also expected to undergo some changes in the final hours before it begins to be enforced, though we don’t yet know what those changes entail.  Brandon Jarvis, who runs the Virginia Scope newsletter, posted on X on Tuesday afternoon that he’d heard from both Sen. Saddam Salim and Del. Dan Helmer, the lead sponsors of the gun and magazine ban bill, that the governor’s staff notified them amendments are coming.…
