A California mother’s instinct to protect her family turned into dramatic surveillance video when she rammed her SUV into what turned out to be suspected burglars’ getaway car, after learning her children were inside the home being targeted. NBC4 Los Angeles aired footage showing the moment the woman’s Mercedes-Benz hit the parked sedan as the burglars fled, sparking widespread attention on the risks Americans face when seconds count and help is minutes away. “I was in panic. I was in shock.” According to the report, the woman had stepped out to get coffee while her three young children and their…
A Marine Corps veteran rated 70% for post-traumatic stress disorder didn’t know his sleep apnea counted as a separate disability. An Army veteran with a service-connected back injury never filed for the knee problems that developed from limping for years. A Navy veteran rated for tinnitus had no idea his depression qualified as a secondary condition.These veterans left money on the table. More importantly, they missed recognition for disabilities that directly resulted from their service-connected conditions.Secondary conditions are disabilities caused by conditions the Department of Veterans Affairs already recognizes as service connected. The VA rates them separately and adds the…
China is conducting “large-scale” military drills near the island nation of Taiwan. These drills are coming just days after China sanctioned some United States defense firms over its delivery of weapons to Taiwan. China sees Taiwan’s push to ramp up its defence this year as an act of defiance. It has enraged Beijing, which claims the self-ruled island as its own territory. “Any sinister schemes to obstruct China’s reunification are doomed to fail,” the ministry’s spokesman Lin Jian said at a regular press briefing on Monday. In a post on Weibo, as reported by the BBC, the Chinese military’s Eastern…
When I first heard of the Camino de Santiago, I was in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina hiking the Appalachian Trail (AT). I overheard someone exclaim, “You’re telling me there’s a hike in Spain where I can sleep in a bed, take a hot shower, eat and drink as much as I want, and I’m here instead?” Soon, I learned that the Camino de Santiago, also known as the Way of St. James, is a historic pilgrimage route with various paths across Spain and Portugal. It leads to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, the resting place of the…
The Denver-based 10th Circuit Court of Appeals has denied New Mexico’s petition for an en banc rehearing of the lawsuit challenging the “Land of Enchantment’s” seven-day waiting period for gun transfers. Consequently, an earlier ruling that invalidates the law will stand. The case Ortega v. Griffin targets a 2024 New Mexico law requiring individuals to wait seven days before taking possession of a newly purchased firearm—even after passing a background check and demonstrating that they are not prohibited from owning firearms. The law also states: “If the required federal instant background check has not been completed within twenty days, the…
In just a few days, Illinois’ latest assault on the right to keep and bear arms will take effect. With gun and magazine bans already on the books alongside measures like “red flag” laws, waiting periods, and a wide variety of “gun-free zones”, it’s hard to imagine how the state’s gun laws could get even worse, but this time around lawmakers are enacting new mandates to existing laws that deal with gun storage. The Illinois Safe Gun Storage Act could potentially impact almost every gun owner in the state, but its effects will be most…
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.
