I’ve run a handful of ultramarathons, and while I’m far from the most experienced guy on the starting line, I’ve noted some common threads from races and conversations with many runners. Each ultramarathon is a unique journey into an abyss of pain, suffering, and uncertainty. But when running an ultramarathon, defined as running more than 26 miles in one go, you can expect to touch on these “stages of suffering.” Note: This story will help prepare you for the mental and emotional aspects of an ultra. But, you’ll also need the proper equipment. Check out our picks for the Best…
The Supreme Court has turned away a challenge to the federal statute prohibiting illegal aliens from possessing firearms, but did not take action on two other cert petitions dealing with gun bans for those convicted of crimes punishable by more than a year in prison. The Court denied cert, without comment, to Carbajal-Flores v. United States in its orders list released on Monday morning. That case, along with Vincent v. Bondi and Duarte v. U.S., were all heard during the justice’s conference last Thursday. In Carbajal-Flores, the Court was asked to consider whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5)(A), which…
San Antonio, Texas (November 24, 2025) – J.P. Sauer & Sohn and Field Ethos introduce their latest collaboration – a limited-edition Sauer in 9.3×62 named The Exception. This adventure rifle is designed for the most challenging hunting adventures. It is the ultimate ‘working man’s adventure rifle’ and an exceptional value.

The caliber’s versatility made it an easy choice for The Exception. The Exception is designed…
If you ranked weight-lifting events, the bench press would be by far the most popular in many groups who lift. For powerlifters, bodybuilders, athletes and young teens getting started with their fitness, the bench press is easy to learn and relatively safe, and it offers the conversation starter between many lifters of, “How much do you bench?”When bench pressing, it is easy to lose your spot on the bench if you take too long between sets in a crowded gym. If you do bench press at home or when the gym is not crowded, you can try all the combinations…
Pavel Durov, the founder and CEO of social media app Telegram, says that France could be involved in the murder of infamous United States Christian Nationalist and conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Durov claimed that Kirk’s assassin had trained with the French Legion. Durov, who is a Russian tech entrepreneur, was commenting on right-wing commentator Candace Owens’ claims that Kirk’s assassin “trained with the French Legion 13th Brigade with multi-state involvement.” In the same X post, shared on Friday, Owens said she had been warned by a high-ranking official that French President Emmanuel Macron had “authorized professional units” to carry out…
There are plenty of things you expect to fight offshore: Wind. waves, the occasional bout of seasickness. But your own balance should not be one of them. The Dometic DG3 is a compact, all-electric gyrostabilizer designed to counter boat roll and keep you steady when the ocean tries to throw you around. Before testing it, I figured this might be one of those high-tech features that sounds good on paper but doesn’t change much in practice. I mean, they’ve been putting gyroscopes on boats since the late 1800s. How much different could the DG3 really be? I decided to join…
Armscor and Rock Island Armory announced the unexpected passing of President and CEO Martin Tuason on Wednesday, November 19, 2025. Tuason, 51, led the company since 2012 and represented the third generation of the Tuason family’s century-long firearms legacy. The Tuason family first entered the firearms and sporting-goods industry more than 100 years ago, when Martin’s grandfather, Celso Tuason, transformed a small sporting-goods storefront into Arms Corporation of the Philippines (Armscor) in 1952. Martin continued that legacy, guiding Armscor and Rock Island Armory into becoming one of the top ten firearms manufacturers in the world, with operations spanning six continents.…
The government may be back open, but travelers shuffling through airports say the anxiety from the shutdown has not completely faded.At LaGuardia Airport and across the country, flyers heading home for Thanksgiving face a surge in holiday volume layered on top of lingering uncertainty from a government shutdown that disrupted air traffic and reduced flights.

When most people think of the Pacific Theater of World War II, they envision tropical islands, heat, and jungle combat. However, the 18-day campaign in May 1943 to retake a remote Aleutian island from Japanese occupation was the total opposite. The fight over the frozen island became the only land battle of World War II fought on U.S. soil.More than 15,000 soldiers faced fanatical Japanese troops as well as harsh winds, freezing rain and terrain that injured more men than combat did. When the fighting ended, nearly 3,000 Japanese and American troops lay dead on the frozen island—and an entire…
To understand the new politics stance and other pro nationals of recent times, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement of the latest generation. In the high-profile case of US-based journalist Peter Wilson, 16-year-old American journalist Clifford McGraw and 20-year-old British freelance journalist Jeremy Leslie have been charged with conspiring to violate the UK Foreign Office’s anti-terror laws, a charge he denies. On Monday, UK attorney Andy McDonald revealed that he had spoken. “Few worry about catching Covid anymore, as it’s just a matter of time before they do,” says Tea, a teacher at a school for…
Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn The Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn region is a magnificent area with high mountain ranges, glaciers and is actually the most glaciated part of the European Alps. Visiting this area can be done relatively easy by car and if you want to go up, by train up to 3,400 metres above sea level, the highest train ride in Europe, the Jungfrau Railway is very impressive (and expensive!). The area is on the UNESCO World Heritage list because of its unique and wide range of flora and fauna and geological importance regarding the creating of the High Alps.
