The latest Spyderco Product Reveal, the twenty-second since the company adopted this particular format, has dropped – and that means a lot of new knives to look at, so without further ado let’s get into it. (Note: we are just covering the main new models, no the sprint runs and special steel variants, of which there are a few). Para Military 2 LW Salt Ah the PM2 – you know it, you love it, it’s an all-timer for many, many users. The lightweight variant is also popular, and now that version is getting its own Salt variant, with bright yellow scales and MagnaCut steel. Shaman Salt Copy-paste the text above, replace “PM2” with “Shaman,” and you’re good to go – okay, we’ll say a little bit more. There are a couple different color schemes in the Salt line now, and this MagnaCut Shaman is sporting the yellow-and-black bumblebee livery that the company debuted a few years ago. Thyn and Slym Do these knives look a little familiar to you? They should, because they are a collaboration between Spyderco and LionSteel, and are Spyderized versions of the Michele Pensato-designed Skinny integral folder. These obviously retain the integral construction, have M390 steel,…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! New York’s elimination of religious exemptions for school vaccine mandates is threatening to drive Amish families from the state, according to First Liberty Institute attorney Hiram Sasser, who is urging the Supreme Court to intervene in the ongoing legal battle.For decades, New York allowed religious exemptions for schoolchildren. But the state repealed that exemption in 2019, leaving Amish families and their small private schools facing vaccination requirements and potentially crippling fines. The Second Circuit upheld the law in June, and the Amish have since asked the Supreme Court to take up the case.”For decades, New York had a religious exemption for their vaccine mandate that they had on the books, and it protected the Amish who’ve been there for over 200 years,” Sasser told Fox News Digital on Wednesday.‘COVID 2.0’: LAWMAKERS PUSH BACK ON SWEEPING HEALTH ‘POLICE POWER’ IN KEY BATTLEGROUND STATE “And it’s just such a shame that New York is one of the only states in America that decided that they wanted to get rid of their vaccine religious exemption and to try to impose it on everybody, including private schools and unfortunately hitting the Amish who have their own…

Convicted Tennessee killer Christa Pike is hospitalized in critical condition a day after two botched lethal injection attempts in connection with the 1995 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer, her attorneys said Thursday.”Christa is alive right now,” Randy Spivey, one of her lawyers, told reporters in a news briefing delivered over Zoom Thursday afternoon. “We don’t have a sense of her prognosis or much update on her health at the moment.”Due to limited information and HIPAA rules, he said he couldn’t go into specific details.”She is in critical condition receiving lifesaving care, that is the extent that we have at the moment,” he said.TENNESSEE DEATH ROW INMATE SURVIVES 2 LETHAL INJECTION DOSES IN FAILED EXECUTION ATTEMPT Another of her attorneys, Stephen Ferrell, said it appears that the needle “either became dislodged or pierced all the way through the veins,” and the injection was not properly administered, but specific medical details were not available due to HIPAA rules.Pike, now 50, was the 18-year-old orchestrator of the torture and murder of Slemmer, a classmate and perceived romantic rival.

The U.S. Navy announced that it surpassed its fiscal 2026 recruiting goal, continuing a trend of meeting its fleet’s manpower needs several years in a row.The service surpassed its fiscal 2026 enlistment goal by adding 45, 112 new sailors, after hitting its initial goal of 45,000 sailors three months ahead of schedule in July.“Americans are choosing to join our Navy because they want to be part of a warrior culture, serve alongside teammates who share that ethos, and take on the extraordinary combat missions our Navy is executing around the world today,” said Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Daryl Caudle. “Surpassing this accession mission is therefore more than a recruiting milestone — it is a direct injection of readiness into the fleet.”The service has now reached its accession target three years in a row, after falling short by 7,450 sailors in 2023 when it recruited 37,700.The service made an about-face in fiscal 2024, surpassing its accession target of 40,600 recruits by 378.It continued its success in fiscal 2025, when the sea service brought in 44,096 future sailors, exceeding its target of 40,600 and marking the most recruits the Navy had seen since 2002.The Navy said it notched its goal three…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! “And all at once, summer collapsed into fall…” – Oscar WildeCongress certainly collapsed into fall this year. It lacked the usual mayhem of an imminent government shutdown for the first time in years. The government is usually only funded through September 30, the end of the federal fiscal year. Lawmakers solved that fiscal riddle early.So the beginning of fall in Congress is usually anything but enjoyable. Others are devouring cobbler, enjoying spiced pumpkin lattes and viewing leaves of amber. When a government shutdown looms, the infernality of summer continues to stew on Capitol Hill. Imagine simmering political temperatures mixed with boiling urban concrete and a soupçon of petrichor. That epitomizes the customary fall tension in the halls of Congress when lawmakers are on the precipice of a shutdown.But this year is different.TRUMP SIGNS GOVERNMENT FUNDING BILL, AVOIDING A SHUTDOWN AHEAD OF MIDTERMS No shutdown. That’s a good thing, considering last year’s 43-day shutdown odyssey which crawled from October 1 into mid November. Everything is funded through December 11. So at least members and journalists can enjoy some of those autumnal fall trappings and dash to the pumpkin patch. That’s because we don’t…

The Pentagon is launching a religious affairs office to address what Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth calls a loss of religious community within the military after an era of “political correctness.”Reporting directly to Hegseth, the Office of Religious Affairs, or ORA, is meant to offer service members “first-class religious support,” according to the defense secretary. Hegseth first announced the office during his State of the Force address on Wednesday at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, to junior officers and enlisted leaders.“Our department is, you might say, putting on the full armor of God because while we wage physical war, we all know the real battle is spiritual,” Hegseth said on Wednesday. “God is good. Evil is not. And America’s military must understand the difference.”Hegseth announced the new office alongside a slew of other initiatives, such as the Autonomous Warfare Command, but he said all would be incomplete without faith, which he described as the “most essential part of our republic.”Hegseth said that less than 5% of the joint force identifies as nonreligious, and the other 95% recognizes an “Almighty God.” The Pentagon has not released an official report of the religious makeup of the military since 2019, when the composition…

We’ll get to the point. Making white vinegar from scratch is not easy. Unlike fruit based vinegars like apple cider vinegar or wine vinegars, white vinegar starts with ethanol. In case you’re rusty on your science that’s alcohol: alcohol as in homemade vodka or moonshine. That’s as opposed to the wines and hard ciders of all of the other fruit based vinegars. And making homemade vodka or moonshine is just the first step. You then need to introduce some aceto bacteria (Acetobacter aceti) to the alcohol to convert it to acetic acid which is the foundation of white vinegar. This is actually the same process for making cider vinegar or any wine vinegar. You ferment the apple cider into applejack or hard cider and then add the bacteria to convert it into cider vinegar. The same applies to turning wine into wine vinegar. But that’s easy compared to some of the steps and missteps of making white vinegar. Want to save this post for later? Click Here to Pin It On Pinterest! A Double Fermentation Process Making white vinegar involves two fermentation steps. The first step ferments sugars to alcohol. The alcohol is a clear spirit (although cloudy before filtering)…

It is undeniable that the current landscape in college athletics is completely broken. There are seemingly no rules, there are no leaders, and the exorbitant amount of money being distributed is entirely unsustainable.The Protect College Sports Act, recently passed in the Senate, could — emphasis on the word could — establish some form of ground rules when it comes to name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals, athlete compensation, eligibility, and the transfer portal, which has turned into the Wild Wild West.While everyone can agree that a uniform framework across collegiate sports is long overdue, what that framework entails for athlete compensation is where government officials, athletic directors, coaches, and athletes themselves will never agree. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGEArkansas basketball coach John Calipari certainly understands that, but it didn’t stop him from sharing that the majority of the players on his roster make more money than the assistant coaches on his staff.”I’m gonna say this; I probably shouldn’t. Nine of my players make more than my assistants,” Calipari shared on Wednesday after agreeing guardrails need to be put in place. “The other three make more than all my staff, and we are not one of the highest payers.””All…

The Navy announced Thursday that it will be renaming the command that handles current and future readiness for combat missions.Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Daryl Caudle said in a C-NOte that the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command will henceforth be known as Commander, Navy Expeditionary Forces, to more accurately indicate the capabilities of the command. “The name Commander, Navy Expeditionary Forces better reflects the command’s core responsibility to man, train, equip, certify, and generate expeditionary Sailors and units for employment by operational commanders worldwide,” the message said.The command will continue to oversee explosive ordnance disposal, maritime expeditionary security, naval construction and expeditionary logistics forces.Daily operations for the command’s expeditionary units will also be unaffected.The name change reflects the command’s increased relevance as the service continues to invest in autonomous systems and their ability to be deployed from expeditionary locations, Caudle said.The command will continue to help the Navy expand its subsea warfare capabilities so that developing technology will soon be able to be deployed fleet-wide.Commander, Navy Expeditionary Forces will be leveraged to upgrade standards, training, certification, assessment and oversight in order to regularly provide security forces to installations, ports and ships, Caudle said.Riley Ceder is a Navy reporter at Military Times,…
