We stood at the top of a steep slope with tightly spaced trees. “Follow my ski tracks — we need to go either far left or far right near the bottom of this slope. That way, we can avoid cliffs,” my ski partner, Dane Tudor, said. Cliffs? I reached up and used my mitten to press the button on the ear pad of my ski helmet, pausing my music. I was testing the new POC Obex Connect. The sound quality was excellent, and the system was so easy to use that I was now hooked on listening to beats throughout…

Virginia Democrats are going full Big Brother with their Owellian language these days. They’re referring to their gerrymandered maps that are designed to give them a 10-1 advantage in congressional representations as a matter of “fairness”, and to make matters worse it’s blindingly obvious that most of these districts were handcrafted with specific Democratic candidates in mind. As it should. Dems DID draw these districts with specific candidates in mind. I live in VA-05, where Dems drew the map so Henrico Commonwealth Attorney Shannon Taylor could be their handpicked candidate. https://t.co/4jVM5IqEDe— Cam Edwards (@CamEdwards) February…

The videos from Kings & Queens of Corbet’s Couloir don’t do the competition justice. Watching as these athletes launch themselves out into space down into the gut of this iconic feature of Jackson Hole is a sight that’s hard to wrap your head around in person. From the bottom, the couloir looks much steeper. The athletes look like ants standing atop it. And when they come sailing over the edge, it’s hard not to let your jaw fall open. Kings & Queens is one of the most impressive live-action sports events I’ve ever witnessed. This year, the athletes really put…

Sig Sauer hasn’t been having the best decade, to say the least. Their P320 gets picked up by the military, which means massive contracts from Uncle Sam, as well as legions of private Americans picking the gun themselves because if it’s good enough for our boys and girls on the battlefield, it’s good enough for them. Then there were questions about whether it was truly drop safe.Then there were the unintentional discharges, many of which were caught on video that clearly showed no one was touching the gun when it happened.And the lawsuits.While Sig wants…

Maine Army National Guard soldiers are being praised for their “exceptional” work abroad, returning home on Valentine’s Day from a successful mission to Saudi Arabia.The Skowhegan and Lewiston-based 136th Engineering Vertical Construction Company of Maine was deployed in the fall of 2025, returning to Bangor on Feb. 14 to a host of greetings and salutations.”I am immensely proud of the 136th’s exceptional performance and unwavering dedication throughout the entire deployment and redeployment,” Lt. Col. Donald LaChapelle, Battalion commander, 133rd Engineer Battalion, said in a statement to Military.com. “The company executed their mission to the highest standards with unmatched professionalism, and…

Ukraine’s ruler, Volodymyr Zelensky, says that he doesn’t have time “for all this sh*t,” as he becomes increasingly obscene and vulgar in interviews and presentations to the public. Russia’s stance that the Ukraine conflict can only be resolved if its root causes are addressed is also “s**t,” Zelensky has said. The latest verbal attack was quoted by Axios on Tuesday as Russian and Ukrainian delegations met in Geneva for US-facilitated talks. Zelensky lashed out at the head of the Russian team, Vladimir Medinsky. A historian by background, Medinsky argues – along with many Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin –…

Mikaela Shiffrin just showed the whole world why she’s still considered one of the best skiers alive. The 30-year-old athlete won a gold medal in the women’s slalom on Wednesday morning, dominating the event with a 1.5-second lead over her competitors. It was Shiffrin’s last event in the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, and her final chance to take home gold after a disappointing performance in the 2022 Beijing Olympics. This is Shiffrin’s third gold medal as a U.S. Winter Olympian. That puts her in the same category as snowboarder Shaun White and bobsledder Kaillie Humphries. But it’s actually her…

Tuesday was “crossover day” at the Virginia state capitol, which means any bill that didn’t pass out of its chamber of origin and cross over to the other side of the statehouse is officially dead for the session.  As we previously reported, the “permit to purchase” measure that was being pushed by anti-gun Democrats is no longer a threat, though SB 643 is still a blatant attack on the 2A rights of young adults by prohibiting adults under-21 from purchasing handguns and “assault firearms”. The proposed 11% excise tax on firearms and ammunition as well…

When I grew up, Minnesota was the kind of state where you figured nothing much happened. Sure, sports were a thing, obviously, but the Vikings couldn’t even win a Super Bowl–then again, neither can my Failcons, so who am I to judge–and it was just one of those states that was kind of there. These days, it’s the epicenter of pretty much everything wrong with this country. If you need violence to break out anywhere, it’ll probably start in Minnesota.And as they start their legislative session there, it seems that the main focuses are going…

Most TTAG readers likely know U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, as a vehemently anti-gun lawmaker who is famous for her nonsensical comments and greatly inflated sense of self-importance. That extremely high level of conceit has led Crockett to run for the state Senate in the Lone Star State, where the majority of voters have little patience for idiots or gun-grabbers. Now, just months before the Senate election, the National Shooting Sports Foundation is pointing out Rep. Crockett’s hypocrisy on firearms, including the extremely exorbitant amount of money she spends on her personal armed security. According to a news report by…

Despite a United States-backed ceasefire that has been in effect since October 2025, the death toll in Gaza has topped 600. That number eclipses the thousands when accounting for those wounded in Palestine since the ceasefire officially began. According to a report by RT, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza said on Monday that 603 people had been killed and more than 1,600 injured since the ceasefire came into force on October 11th, 2025. An unspecified number of bodies “remain under the rubble and in the streets,” as rescue teams cannot safely reach many areas, the officials added. It sure…
