After a massive storm deposited feet of snow across the Sierras, 15 backcountry travelers were caught in an avalanche near Truckee, Calif., on Tuesday. Six of them were successfully evacuated by search and rescue (SAR). According to reports on Wednesday, nine members of the party remain missing. That makes this the most significant avalanche burial incident in the U.S. in the last decade. The group included 11 skiers traveling with four guides from Blackbird Mountain Guides. They were returning from a hut trip near Frog Lake and were navigating avalanche terrain as they exited. The avalanche occurred around 11:30 a.m.,…
The sweeping gun ban bill in New Mexico that also includes a broad number of new mandates for federally licensed firearms dealers is on the verge of defeat, but Second Amendment advocates need to continue to keep up their pressure on lawmakers. As we reported on Tuesday, the House Judiciary committee did not take a vote on SB 17 during its meeting late Monday/early Tuesday. Instead, the committee said it needed more time to read through a number of proposed amendments. With the legislative session expiring at noon on Thursday, every hour of delay makes…
Just as I pass the outskirts of town, I peg the accelerator. Both electric motors immediately engage and force me against the seatback. The C-HR charges forward with the pull of a Porsche and the smoothness of a bullet train. Moments later, I momentarily see triple-digit speeds. Whoa! This is not your father’s C-HR. Or, perhaps, your older siblings’ C-HR. After all, Toyota introduced us to the last C-HR in Los Angeles in 2016, ahead of its 2018 model year debut, which ended after 2022. That cute, but wheezy sub-compact crossover rocked all of 144 horsepower. This one? More. Returning…
The Department of Veterans Affairs is making a major change in its policies towards veterans who’ve had a fiduciary appointed to help manage their benefits. For decades, having a fiduciary meant that the veteran was reported to the FBI’s National Instant Check System as a prohibited person because the VA saw that as being adjudicated as mentally defective. On Tuesday, VA Secretary Doug Collins announced that will no longer be the case.This corrects a three-decade-old wrong that deprived many thousands of Veterans in VA’s Fiduciary Program of their constitutional right to own a firearm without…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. Remember Obama’s 2012 Colombian prostitution scandal? Turns out, Jeffrey Epstein was involved… Newly released Department of Justice documents from the Epstein files have exposed a previously unknown connection between a 2012 White House advance-team scandal in Cartagena, Colombia, and Kathryn Ruemmler – the former Obama White House counsel who later became Goldman Sachs’ top lawyer. Ruemmler resigned from Goldman late last week, after the latest Epstein document dump revealed her extensive, affectionate, and years-long correspondence with the convicted sex offender. The emails show she called him “Uncle Jeffrey,” accepted expensive gifts, and turned to him for advice on…
If someone wants to take their life, and they own a firearm, they’re likely to use it, unfortunately. If they don’t have one, they might buy one, or they might look for some other way to provide a permanent end to a temporary problem. Either way, the issue with suicides isn’t about guns, but about the mental health crises that lead to them. But, last month, a study was released that supposedly linked so-called ghost guns–unserialized firearms, typically made at home via various means–to suicides.I wasn’t impressed by the study.But, unsurprisingly, The Trace was. They…

For a lot of rifle shooters, “Mauser 98” is shorthand for one of the best actions on the planet. Featruing controlled round feed, a big non rotating claw extractor, and a design that has been copied, tweaked, and argued about for well over a century, the new M98 Das Original leans into that legacy by sticking with the familiar action while layering in upgraded finishes, high grade wood, and chamberings that range from .308 to .416 Rigby, plus a first time factory .300 Winchester Magnum option for the platform. From the price tag alone, one can infer that this is…
“We need tighter gun laws.”Every time there’s a high-profile shooting, someone comes out of the woodwork to say just this. Never mind that we don’t necessarily know anything about how the shooter got a gun; the answer is always gun control in their minds. Take the shooting at a high school hockey game in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.Yes, this is tragic, and it’s not something we should ever see happen at high school sporting events. What’s also tragic is just how predictable these anti-gunners actually are.Child safety advocates renewed calls for tighter gun control measures following…
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.
