In less than 24 hours, search-and-rescue teams had to fly to the same location in Colorado’s remote Elk Mountains four times to rescue the same group of backcountry skiers in two separate incidents. Temperatures across the state plummeted over the weekend. They dropped into the single digits and even negative degrees as a winter storm passed over the region. The frigid temperatures posed serious health risks. The entire party of seven skiers showed signs of frostbite, with four requiring medical evacuation and treatment at local hospitals. One was reportedly in critical condition. The First Call: Sunday, Jan. 25. — 9:40…
Just a day after White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt asserted that there’s no bigger supporter of the Second Amendment than President Donald Trump, the president himself echoed previous statements from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and FBI Director Kash Patel suggesting that it was illegal to carry a firearm at a protest, or at the very least, evidence of nefarious intent. So much for the Trump Administration walking back their media campaign against gun carry… https://t.co/LDaWzqol6O— Stephen Gutowski (@StephenGutowski) January 27, 2026The president made his comments as he was walking towards Marine One, and in the…
The Springfield Armory 1911 10‑8 Performance Master Class occupies the rarely addressed space between high‑end production pistols and full custom 1911 builds. A Hybrid Custom‑Production Philosophy Springfield Armory built the 10‑8 Performance Master Class as a collaborative project with Hilton Yam of 10‑8 Performance, a retired FBI Special Agent and longtime SWAT firearms instructor. Rather than mass‑producing another upgraded 1911, Springfield approached this model as a hybrid build. Each pistol begins with hand‑selected forged carbon‑steel frames and slides, which remain matched throughout the fitting process. Springfield precisely fits and blends major components before final assembly. The result lands above traditional…
In the 30 years that I’ve been visiting Las Vegas, this was the first time that I’d intentionally popped a wheelie on an e-bike — or really any bike, for that matter. But it was the end of a long day trawling around CES and I was up for some fun. Just after dusk, right in front of the Venetian, I met up with the folks from Future Motion, purveyors of both the OneWheel and a new e-bike, the Antic. The brand gave me a helmet and some initial instructions, and then let me hop on the reimagined, ’70s-inspired electric…
It’s perfectly legal to travel, even by airplane, with a firearm. I tend to avoid it because it’s such a pain in the posterior, but I don’t fly a lot anyway. Professional athletes, however, do fly a good bit, especially during the season. Half of their games are away, and it’s not like high school football, where your opponent is just a couple of hours away by bus. The Carolina Panthers aren’t taking a bus to play the LA Rams, after all.So, they fly, and for any of them looking to be armed while doing…
On Jan. 27, 1945, Soviet soldiers who had survived years of fierce combat against German forces entered a sprawling complex of barracks and barbed wire in southern Poland known as Auschwitz. What they found there would define how the world remembers the Holocaust.Today marks International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the 81st anniversary of that liberation. Commemorations are taking place at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial in Poland, at the United Nations headquarters in New York and at memorial sites around the world. The 2026 theme is “Holocaust Remembrance for Dignity and Human Rights.”The Nazi regime murdered six million Jews during the Holocaust, representing one-third…
Palmetto State Armory hit the ground running this year at SHOT Show, unveiling a number of new firearms that have already justified the time, effort, and fare for my annual visit to Sin City. With the company developing products at this pace, PSA either runs three 8-hour shifts around the clock, or they’ve simply outsourced production to the North Pole. How they do it, however, will take a back seat to the actual results, so without further ado… First up is the Sabre Key, an underbarrel-mounted short-barreled shotgun (SBS) that no longer requires a $200 bribe for access to the…
Portable wind turbines are easy to build — and easy to break. YouTube offers an abundance of tutorials for building your own DIY wind turbine. A quick Amazon search of “portable wind turbine” will bring up dozens of options, from a 5W miniature turbine for $12 to large-scale models made for home energy that cost thousands of dollars. For campers seeking mobile power solutions, wind turbines have long been seen as a finicky, unreliable option, especially compared to solar panels. But a Canadian brand claims it has built a turbine that’s sufficiently small, light, and durable to give wind power another…
Since 2004 the state of Florida has made it illegal for any government official or agency to “knowingly and willfully keep or cause to be kept any list, record, or registry of privately owned firearms or any list, record, or registry of the owners of those firearms.” Despite that, the city of Jacksonville kept a registry of everyone who entered City Hall while exercising their right to bear arms from July 2023 until April 2025. The city stopped entering the names of gun owners into its registry after complaints were made, and State Attorney State…
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.
