Ten people are dead, and at least 25 more were injured after a shooter who was reportedly wearing a dress opened fire at a rural Canadian school on Tuesday.  The mass shooting took place at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in northeastern British Columbia, serving students in grades 7 through 12, where seven people were killed. The shooter then died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said. Investigators said they found two other people dead at a nearby home and believe it was connected to the school attack. Police have not yet released the attacker’s identity, but described the shooter as a “gun person.” Authorities initially described the suspect as a person with brown hair and wearing a dress.  Six of the victims died at the school, while a seventh died while being transported to the hospital. Two others were airlifted with serious injuries, while 25 others were being treated for minor injuries.  The investigation into the shooting is being handled by the Major Crime Division of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Law enforcement said they were checking other locations for any additional victims.  “This was a rapidly evolving and dynamic situation, and the swift cooperation from the school, first responders, and the community played a critical role in our response,” North District Commander Ken Floyd said. “Our thoughts are with the families, loved ones, and all those impacted by this tragic incident. This has been an incredibly difficult and emotional day for our community, and we are grateful for the cooperation shown as officers continue their work to advance the investigation.” Floyd said later that police had no indication of motive, saying he thought investigators would “struggle to determine the ‘why’, but we will try our best to determine what transpired.” The attack was one of the deadliest mass shootings in Canadian history.  “My prayers and deepest condolences are with the families and friends who have lost loved ones to these horrific acts of violence,” said Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. “I join Canadians in grieving with those whose lives have been changed irreversibly today, and in gratitude for the courage and selflessness of the first responders who risked their lives to protect their fellow citizens.” Tumbler Ridge is a city of around 2400 people, and fewer than 200 students were enrolled at the school. “I will know every victim. I’ve been here 19 years, and we’re a small community,” Tumbler Ridge Mayor Darryl Krakowka told CBC. “I don’t call them residents. I call them family.”

A lost work by the most famous female artist of the Renaissance has surfaced at a North Carolina estate. The story of how Portrait of a Canon Regular was found begins in 1920 when it was photographed in black and white—before vanishing from all knowledge. 104 years later, art historian Michael Cole recorded a lecture on the […] The post Lost Painting by the ‘Illustrious Woman’ Painter of the Renaissance Surfaces in N.

by the author of Prepper’s Natural Medicine and Prepping for a Pandemic Winter brings its own special set of common injuries. Here are some tips on preventing a cold-related injury in the first place. Here is what you need to know to recognize, prevent, and treat a serious, cold-related injury. Cold Weather Injuries Think of exposure to cold in a similar way as to exposure to the sun. You can only take so much until eventually, the skin will burn (think freezer burn) and blister. There are a number of common injuries that emergency rooms see each year when the temperature drops. These include: Chilblains Trench foot Frostnip Frostbite Hypothermia Heart attacks These can be broken down into three types: non-frozen injuries, frozen injuries, and cardiovascular injuries. Non-Frozen Injuries Two common cold-weather injuries are chilblains and trench foot. Both occur in cold, wet conditions and affect the extremities. Because moisture can wick away heat from the body, you can end up with chilblains or trench foot even in 60°F weather. Chilblains You come in from the cold and wet, knowing that you need to warm up. You wrap up in blankets, snuggle up to a wood stove or heater, and you start to feel better. Next thing you know, you have blisters forming on your extremities. This is chilblains. Chilblains are the result of capillary injury in the toes, feet, earlobes, etc. Signs of this injury normally show up after the affected tissue has been rewarmed, even several hours afterward. Thankfully, chilblains generally resolves itself at home without further interventions in about two weeks or less. Do not “pop” the blisters. Blisters are like a sterile bandage. As long as it is intact, there is no risk of infection. Keep an eye on any open blisters and sores that may start to show signs of infection. If you notice signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or pain, it’s time to see your doctor. In a down-grid situation, you could use herbs with antibiotic properties. My personal preference is for Oregon grape root powder, echinacea powder, yarrow powder, and marshmallow powder in equal portions mixed with honey to make a paste. This would be applied to the wound, wrapped in gauze, and changed 3-4 times a day. Trench Foot Trench foot, as its name implies, affects the foot. While the symptoms are largely similar, trench foot is restricted to the foot, whereas chilblains can appear elsewhere. Trench foot can be more serious than chilblains and can develop into gangrene. Symptoms, including discoloration (redness, blotchy appearance, paleness, and progressing to blue/black), itchiness, numbness, swelling, and blisters. Sometimes, the blisters can lead to open sores, which could lead to an infection. Normally, trench foot should be seen by a medical doctor. If, however, this is a true SHTF scenario and there is no higher form of health care available, the buck stops with you. If you find yourself in this situation, keep the following in mind: Get the affected foot clean, dry, and warm as soon as possible. Rewarming can be done with warm water, preferably from 104°F to 106°F. Be careful not to use water that is too hot. The skin’s sensation will be decreased, and the injured person may not be able to tell if the water is too hot or not. Make sure to dry thoroughly when removing the foot from the water and keep warm. Wrap the feet with breathable gauze to let any foot sweat evaporate. Elevate the foot to reduce swelling. Apply a  salve made with warming herbs, like ginger and cayenne pepper to the feet to draw more circulation to the affected areas. Be aware that the renewed increase of circulation may cause some pain. Check the feet frequently for any signs of gangrene. Frozen Injuries Tissue freezes from the outside and works deeper into the tissue. There are two stages known as frostnip and frostbite. Frostnip vs Frostbite In the initial stage known as frostnip, the outer layers of tissue are frozen, and ill move over the soft, unfrozen tissue underneath. Frostbite is when the tissue is frozen straight through. Symptoms will be somewhat similar to chilblains and trench foot. Skin may turn red and blotchy with frostnip, then progressing to pale or grey with a waxy appearance, as well as numbness. If the tissue was completely frozen, the skin may begin to blister and/or turn black 2-4 days after thawing. A person with frostbite will become awkward and clumsy moving a body part with frostnip or frost bite. Frostnip normally does not require special medical attention. The affected area is treated much the same as trench foot. Frostbite, however, is serious and requires medical treatment. However, if no help is on the way, you need to know what you can do to minimize damage and risk of gangrene. Follow instructions for treating trench foot. Do NOT rub the frozen area to warm it up. You could break the body part right off. Do not defrost the tissue if there is a chance it could freeze again. The damage will be much worse. Be on the lookout for signs of hypothermia and gangrene. Consider adding more than only cayenne to help promote circulation. Other options would be a tincture combining cayenne, hawthorn, mistletoe, and ginger. Hypothermia While chilblains, trench foot, and frostbite are focused on the extremities, hypothermia is all about the core. Hypothermia is defined as body temperature dropping to 95°F. That’s just 3.6 degrees lower than normal body temperature. Hypothermia is a medical emergency. It can result in shock, cardiac arrest, and coma, and it doesn’t take long to happen. What complicates matters is that hypothermia victims often do not recognize they are in distress because symptoms come on gradually. Often, children and outdoor enthusiasts may be enjoying themselves too much to notice their distress. Signs of Hypothermia Because hypothermia sets in gradually, you must be vigilant whenever you are out in the elements. Signals of hypothermia include: Shivering (the body’s attempt to stay warm) Lack of coordination Slurred speech Decreased respiration, heart rate, and blood pressure Impaired cognitive abilities Paradoxical undressing Drowsiness Terminal burrowing Those most at risk are the elderly, children, those with medical conditions that inhibit the body’s ability to regulate temperature (hypothyroidism, diabetes, spinal injuries, burns, Parkinson’s, etc), people with mental illnesses (dementia, Alzheimer’s), as well as those who smoke and consume alcohol frequently. If you have access to medical care, do not take risks with hypothermia. Get to a hospital. If the medical system has collapsed, or if hospitals are at surge capacity due to some disaster, and all other forms of higher care are cut off, here are some things to keep in mind: Remove yourself or other person inside and away from the cold. Do not rub victim vigorously, and doing so could trigger cardiac arrest. Remove any wet clothing, and wrap the body with blankets. Use dry, radiant heat, such as sitting near a wood stove. Do not apply direct heat, as that could also trigger cardiac arrest. Use a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel across the back, chest, and groin area only! You must warm the core first, and worry about extremities later. This is important if CPR is needed at any point in your efforts. Use skin-to-skin body heat to warm up the core of the body. If you are outside with no indoor shelter, do not lay victim on the cold ground. Put a blanket (or two) down first. If victim has lost consciousness and has stopped breathing, and if you are trained, begin CPR. If the victim is conscious, encourage him or her to drink warming liquid. Warm water is fine, but plain. Herbal tea or chicken stock may help encourage more drinking. Heart Attacks Cold weather injuries are not just skin deep, but cardiovascular as well. Every winter, people die of heart attacks while out shoveling snow. As we saw with hypothermia, cold temperatures will impact blood flow. Cold weather tends to thicken blood while also causing vasoconstriction. These two conditions increases the risk of heart attacks, especially with exertion. This is particularly true for those already at risk of a heart attack. A heart attack is always a medical emergency. Here are some tips to prevent this from happening: Invest in some proper winter gear. You want to make sure you stay warm, but won’t be sweating. However, if you’re going to be shoveling, there’s no way to avoid sweating. For $200, I bought my husband a set of insulated Carhartt bib overalls and jacket. Under that, he wears a wool sweater, wool hat, and wool glove liners under his gloves, and wool socks. Why? Because wool will keep you warm even if it gets wet. He also has a moisture-wicking base layer. Either use a smaller shovel to lift smaller loads, or get a snow blower. Make sure you stay hydrated. You may not feel thirsty when it’s cold out. But, dehydration will thicken the blood. Avoid bringing a hot thermos of coffee outside with you. Coffee is dehydrating. Take frequent breaks. I know, you want to get the job done and get back inside. But, the key is to not overexert yourself. Stay fit all year long. This will help make lifting that shovel easier. If you have hypertension, get it under control now. Prevention is worth a pound of cure. So, please stay warm, and dry. I want to see you get through this and every winter safely. What about you? Have you or a loved one ever had any of these cold-weather afflictions? Do you have any advice to share on how to prevent it in the future? Let’s discuss it in the comments.

BREAKING: US Closes Airspace Over El Paso – For Ten Days

Sympathy for the Devil, and None for You

MRC Watchdogs churn out breaking news on a daily basis. Don't miss Today's Highlights, where you can keep up with the top MRC content, whether it's the latest study on media bias, a glaring omission from the elitist media, or how the Big Tech companies are serving up the same leftist spin as the media.  Top Stories: Finally, Some Journalisming! NY Times Front-Pager Exposes Epstein Ties to Clinton Machine Yahoo News Appears to Play Shell Game to Boost Overwhelmingly Leftist Media Content PROBE: The FCC Looks to Crackdown on ABC's The View Citing Equal Time Apple News Continues Rejection of Right-Leaning Outlets in January   Finally, Some Journalisming! NY Times Front-Pager Exposes Epstein Ties to Clinton Machine NYT Delivers Rare Real Journalism on Clinton-Epstein Ties: The New York Times put on its front page a major exposé showing that Ghislaine Maxwell played a substantial role in creating the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). She participated in budget discussions, coordinated with Clinton aides and event producers, and arranged a $1 million wire transfer for the launch—with Jeffrey Epstein aware of the payment.  Mainstream Media Largely Ignores the Story: Despite the bombshell front-page placement in the New York Times, CBS and NBC flagship newscasts gave it zero coverage, while ABC offered only a single passing mention. This selective silence from the rest of the legacy media highlights the double standard in how Clinton-related scandals are handled compared to other political figures. New Evidence Fuels Scrutiny of the Clinton Global Initiative: The reporting corroborates long-standing criticisms of the CGI as a pay-to-play access operation and adds fresh texture to the connections between the Clinton world and Epstein/Maxwell’s circle.  Yahoo News Appears to Play Shell Game to Boost Overwhelmingly Leftist Media Content Yahoo News Fakes Balance with a Deliberate Shell Game MRC analysis of January 2026 morning editions reveals Yahoo News creates a thin veneer of fairness by occasionally including right-leaning outlets like Fox News and the New York Post—but almost always buries them at the very bottom of the top 20 stories, often with non-political human-interest pieces (e.g., a 550-pound bear eviction or shark migrations), while flooding the most prominent positions with hard-hitting political stories from overwhelmingly leftist sources like TIME, Salon, and The New Republic. 16 Straight Days of Total Exclusion for Conservative Voices For 16 days in January 2026, Yahoo News featured zero articles from right-leaning outlets in its top 20 morning stories, and on the remaining days, right-leaning content appeared in the top 10 only twice—with the rest relegated to the lowest spots or just outside the list—demonstrating a systematic pattern of suppression that prioritizes leftist narratives and denies conservative perspectives equal visibility to millions of users. Clear Pattern of Anti-Conservative Bias Demands Accountability As MRC Free Speech VP Dan Schneider warns, Yahoo News shows a “consistent, unmistakable pattern” of burying right-leaning media while crafting plausible deniability for claims of balance—especially timely amid potential House Judiciary oversight under Rep. Jim Jordan—forcing Big Tech gatekeepers like Yahoo to finally explain this blatant skew that undermines free speech and public access to diverse viewpoints. PROBE: The FCC Looks to Crackdown on ABC's The View Citing Equal Time FCC Launches Probe into The View for Unequal Airtime in Political Coverage — The Federal Communications Commission is investigating ABC's The View after it gave Democratic Texas Senate candidate Rep. Jasmine Crockett nearly 18 minutes (across three segments) while providing only about 10 minutes to her primary opponent, James Talarico — highlighting a clear disparity that triggered scrutiny under the long-standing equal time rules. End of 'Bona Fide' News Exemption for Daytime Talk Shows — The Republican-led FCC has cracked down by declaring that interview segments on shows like The View, late-night programs, and other non-news daytime content no longer automatically qualify as "bona fide" news — meaning they must offer equal opportunities to opposing political candidates under the 1934 Communications Act, rejecting ABC/Disney's implied claim of exemption. Exposing Liberal Bias with Real Consequences — With The View showing a massive guest imbalance (128 Democrats vs. just 2 conservatives in 2025 political discussions) and no equal-time request filed for Talarico, the probe could force the show to invite Republican figures like Sen. John Cornyn — proving that "fake news" and one-sided partisan programming won't get a free pass anymore under stricter FCC enforcement. Apple News Continues Rejection of Right-Leaning Outlets in January Zero Right-Leaning Voices in 620 Top Stories: In January 2026, Apple News featured not a single article from right-leaning outlets (such as Fox News, New York Post, Breitbart, Daily Mail, or The Gateway Pundit) among its top 20 daily stories for the entire month. This complete blackout—across 620 curated headlines—shows deliberate suppression of conservative perspectives, especially under human editors who manually select content rather than relying on neutral algorithms. Overwhelming Left-Leaning Dominance: Apple News pushed 440 stories from left-leaning sources like The Washington Post (72 stories), Associated Press (54), NBC News (50), The Guardian (34), and The New York Times (30), while center outlets like The Wall Street Journal and Reuters got some play.  Pattern of Censorship Demands Accountability: This January blackout continues a long-running trend of excluding conservative media, building on prior months with near-total suppression (e.g., only one right-leaning story out of 560 in November 2025). As a dominant news aggregator, Apple News's bias violates fairness principles and calls for conservatives to demand transparency, equal footing, and Big Tech adherence to First Amendment-like standards—urging contact with representatives and reporting censorship to hold Silicon Valley accountable.  

Idaho votes like a conservative juggernaut. Republicans hold the governor’s mansion, both legislative chambers, and every statewide office. Yet the administrative state still runs on autopilot, and progressives who never win at the ballot box keep their hands on levers of power.Last week delivered a clean example. Estella Zamora, the 72-year-old vice president of the Idaho Human Rights Commission, lost her seat after Gov. Brad Little withdrew her reappointment. Progressive activists erupted. The press corps dutifully framed it as a purge. But the real scandal sits one step earlier: Little’s office initially recommended her for another term, as if nobody bothered to look.President Trump’s ‘drain the swamp’ mandate doesn’t end at Maryland and Virginia’s borders. It reaches every state capital where permanent bureaucrats ignore the electorate.That rubber-stamp culture explains how red-state voters keep getting blue-state governance.Zamora held influence for more than three decades. She didn’t win it from voters. She inherited it from the system. A Democratic governor appointed her in the 1990s. Republican administrations kept renewing her anyway, term after term, until she became another “untouchable” fixture inside Idaho’s bureaucracy.Only public pressure forced movement. Conservative activists and outlets like the Gem State Chronicle, along with our own program, Idaho Signal, highlighted Zamora’s political activism online. She appeared before the Senate State Affairs Committee on Jan. 28 as part of the reappointment process. Lawmakers asked questions. The public noticed. Little reversed course a few days later.Little made the right call in the end. The process that led to the near-miss should worry every Idaho voter.Zamora didn’t simply hold personal opinions. She couldn’t resist using her public platform to attack Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an agency charged with enforcing federal immigration law. Her posts pushed anti-ICE propaganda, circulated protest material, and condemned enforcement operations as “harmful.” She aligned herself with the activist line that treats border enforcement as a moral offense.Idaho doesn’t need every commissioner to share the governor’s politics. Idaho does need commissioners who can credibly carry out their duties without turning a state post into a political megaphone. A human rights commission depends on public confidence. Activism that signals contempt for lawful enforcement undermines that confidence.This isn’t a free-speech dispute. Zamora can say whatever she wants as a private citizen. Voters can judge it. Officials must still decide whether that behavior fits a role that demands impartiality and restraint.Progressives are already shouting “censorship” and “partisan purge.” They’re portraying Zamora as some saintly Latina icon victimized for speaking out. That rhetoric flips the facts. Nobody owes a lifetime appointment to someone who campaigns against the policies Idaho voters repeatedly choose in overwhelming numbers at the ballot box. Public service carries conditions. When the public loses trust, leaders should act.RELATED: Trump’s primary endorsements are sabotaging his own agenda Photo by JIM WATSON/AFP via Getty ImagesThe greater lesson extends beyond Zamora.Idaho’s bureaucracy keeps reappointing the same figures because too many Republican offices treat commissions and boards as background noise. Staffers recycle names. Vetting becomes procedural. Appointments become habit. Progressives understand this weakness, so they play the long game: They entrench themselves in institutions that outlast elections.That pattern repeats across the country. Red states elect Republican leaders. Agencies keep advancing progressive priorities through regulation, enforcement discretion, and institutional culture. The left loses elections and wins governance anyway.Republican governors and legislators can’t keep solving this problem only after activists force their hand. They should audit commissions and boards, review reappointments with real scrutiny, and replace partisan operatives with people who respect the mission and the law without bias and without apology.President Trump’s “drain the swamp” mandate doesn’t end at the Maryland and Virginia borders. It reaches every state capital where permanent bureaucrats ignore the electorate and treat public posts as ideological turf.Idaho voters spoke loudly. The administrative state had better listen because we’re just getting started.
