The best running vest is the one you completely forget you’re wearing. I’ve tested dozens of vests over the years, and they usually fall into two traps. They either hold plenty of gear but bounce erratically, or they fit beautifully but lack space for longer efforts. Nathan hits a sweet spot with the VaporAir 4.0 and women’s-specific VaporAiress 4.0 ($160). Instead of just adding pockets, these vests focus on a fit you can change on the go. You can tighten or loosen the rig as your bladder empties, you shed layers, or the terrain changes. I tested the women’s VaporAiress…
It’s been two weeks since the Third Circuit Court of Appeals struck down New Jersey’s ban on so-called assault weapons and large capacity magazines, but the appellate court has yet to issue its mandate that would allow for sales of those items to resume in the Garden State. New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport wants to keep that mandate on ice, and in a new court filing she’s asking the Third Circuit to allow the gun and magazine ban to remain in effect while the state appeals its loss to the Supreme Court. The State is…

Tragic news has come from the 12th-highest mountain in the world. An avalanche swept down Pakistan’s Broad Peak just as a large climbing group was on its way to the summit. At least 10 people were hit by the avalanche, including Nirmal “Nims” Purja, a well-known mountaineer who was leading an Elite Exped team. At least two climbers died in the avalanche, according to the Alpine Club of Pakistan. The rest remain unaccounted for. However, several news outlets, including the BBC, have reported that four climbers from the team were already confirmed dead. Details about the status of remaining climbers…
Mercedes-Benz is recalling 310,000 vehicles, including many of its most popular models. In an impressive cascade of failures, a problem with the door locks could lead to the vehicle rolling away. Yes, that seems like a stretch, but it can happen. A door that can’t tell if it’s open or closed can lead to some other problems, too, that are less about safety and more about convenience. Corrosion In A Switch Can Lead To Problems Credit: Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-Benz says that in 2021 it started receiving reports of complaints that radios and lights would stay on after drivers got out of the…
When Montgomery County, Maryland recently amended its concealed carry laws to comply with a state Supreme Court decision, the county left in place some “sensitive areas” that are legally dubious, at least from a Second Amendment perspective. The county bans lawful carry within 100 yards of a “public assembly”, which includes parks, places of worship, schools, libraries, courthouses, legislative assemblies, recreational facilities, multipurpose exhibition facilities, and polling places. Though the state Supreme Court says that ban doesn’t conflict with Maryland’s constitution, a rabbi in Montgomery County has filed a lawsuit arguing the prohibition violates his right…
Military pay is easy to spot on a leave and earnings statement. Other benefits are buried inside service portals, application windows and programs known mainly by acronyms. The Pentagon launched a yearlong compensation education campaign in June after acknowledging that many service members do not fully understand the pay, tax advantages, education programs and family support included with military service. That lack of awareness can leave money and assistance unused. The Defense Department does not publish a single ranking of its least-used benefits. The programs below were selected because they are relatively new, require an application or include deadlines that…

Former United States ruler, Joe Biden, is suing the US government in order to block the release of interviews he had given with his ghostwriter. Biden appears to want to stop the tapes of conversations from being released to the public. 3 Glaring Problems with Joe Biden’s New Multi-Trillion COVID Package The recordings in question were obtained by special counsel Robert Hur, who was appointed to investigate whether Biden had unlawfully retained classified documents at his home after serving as vice president under Barack Obama from 2009 to 2017, according to a report by RT. Hur interviewed Biden for five…
Massive wildfires have become tragically common in the United States. But for national park lovers, the Dragon Bravo fire hurt more than most. The blaze that erupted on Grand Canyon National Park’s North Rim last summer devastated the park, burning nearly 150,000 acres and destroying over a dozen buildings, including the historic Grand Canyon Lodge. After a prolonged closure, the North Rim reopened to visitors last week. That’s good news for those planning to visit the park during summer vacation — especially hikers. The North Kaibab Trail has reopened, allowing hikers to reach the canyon’s bottom by starting from the North…
The attempted mass shooting at a San Diego mosque earlier this month has quickly faded from the headlines, at least nationally, but the local Fox affiliate is still digging into the suspects and their backgrounds and has uncovered the fact that the dad of one of the killers was the subject of a “red flag” gun seizure petition last year. According to KUSI, it wasn’t the father’s behavior that triggered the Gun Violence Restraining Order. Instead, it was concerns about his son that led Chula Vista police to file the “red flag” petition. In the emergency…
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. military contractors need at least three years to replenish stockpiles of three key weapons systems used heavily in the Iran war, according to an analysis released Wednesday, adding to concerns that American forces would have limited firepower in any future conflict with China. The weapons systems are Tomahawk cruise missiles, which are used to strike targets deep inside enemy territory, and Patriot and THAAD interceptors that defend against incoming missiles and drones. “The United States has enough munitions for any plausible scenario in the Iran war, but the depleted inventories have created a window of vulnerability…
Diane Carlson Evans is being remembered for her wartime efforts that paved the way for other females besides herself to garner national recognition. Evans, 79, of Helena, Mont., died May 20 after what was described as a long and courageous battle against cancer, according to her obituary. She was a U.S. Army nurse who volunteered to serve during the Vietnam War, ultimately leading to finding her longtime husband, starting a family, and, ultimately, initiating the Vietnam Women’s Memorial—the first of its kind in the United States, more than 30 years ago. She was born in 1946 in Buffalo, Minn., to…
Second Amendment groups launched a flurry of legal fights on Tuesday, filing suit against a decades-old prohibition on lawfully carrying inside post offices and a newly enacted law in Maryland that will ban the sale of Glocks and other striker-fired handguns. Maryland Gov. Wes Moore signed the gun ban bill on Tuesday, and minutes later NRA-ILA Executive Director John Commerford announced the organization’s intent to sue. “With a single stroke of his pen, Governor Wes Moore has banned one of the most popular handguns in America. Instead of going after criminals and enforcing existing laws, he…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump will meet with his Cabinet on Wednesday at a precarious moment for talks aimed at ending the war with Iran, just days after insisting that his administration and Tehran had “largely negotiated” a settlement but with the negotiations still in a state of flux. As he prepares to huddle with his top aides, Trump is projecting confidence that he’s closing in on a deal that will reopen the Strait of Hormuz and provide him a credible argument that Iran’s nuclear capability has been diminished enough to declare victory, winding down a conflict that’s been…
This article was originally published by Wanjiru Njoya at The Mises Institute. As Lew Rockwell has observed, Murray Rothbard “had a passion for public persuasion.” He was interested not only in sound economics but also in ensuring that “the general public is aware of the vital importance of the market and the terrible consequences of statism.” To that end, Rothbard argued powerfully against egalitarianism, which is the ideology behind so many statist welfare schemes. It is worth asking, over 50 years since he published his famous essay “Egalitarianism as a Revolt Against Nature,” why egalitarianism persists. Rothbard observed that “Americans consider themselves…
On Tuesday, voters in Texas returned to the polls to settle the runoff primary elections. While there were several races I was planning on paying attention to, Rep. Tony Gonzales is already gone, making it a bit less interesting for me. But Attorney General Ken Paxton was still challenging Sen. John Cornyn for his seat, and since Cornyn sold out gun owners to bend the knee to Joe Biden’s anti-gun jihad, this was always going to be a big one.And Cornyn was the incumbent. They always have an advantage, and Paxton had some baggage that…
Despite the Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) home loan being available to millions of eligible veterans, the program continues to be misconstrued and underutilized. According to an analysis released last October from Veterans United Home Loans, there is $28 billion in untapped funds available through the loan. Each year, more than 58,000 loans are not used across the U.S. But Eric Bernstein, president and co-founder of LendFriend Mortgage, believes that with the current housing climate, affected by higher interest rates and rising mortgage costs, now could be the ideal time for veterans to consider a VA home loan. Bernstein, with…
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea said Wednesday its latest launches involved multiple weapons systems, including a nuclear-capable cruise missile that leader Kim Jong Un plans to deploy with front-line units facing South Korea, as he continues expanding his military capabilities. The report by North Korean state media came a day after South Korea’s military said it detected the North launching multiple projectiles, including at least one close-range ballistic missile, toward its western waters. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missile flew about 80 kilometers (50 miles) but didn’t specify other types of weapons involved. North Korea’s…
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA is already ordering landers, rovers and drones for a sprawling moon base, less than two months after the Artemis II’s record-breaking lunar flyaround. The space agency outlined the first phase of its moon base plans on Tuesday, awarding hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts to four U.S. companies. Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin will provide a pair of landers to deliver moon buggies to the lunar surface, at a spot near the moon’s south pole. These so-called lunar terrain vehicles will be built by Astrolab and Lunar Outpost. Firefly Aerospace, which landed successfully on…
