NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Virginia Republicans are taking aim at a Democratic state lawmaker who played a key role in pushing through congressional redistricting in the state and is now running for newly drawn U.S. House seat.After Virginia Delegate Dan Helmer launched a congressional campaign, some Republican leaders took aim at him for what they call a “power grab.””I think it does look bad,” House Minority Leader Terry Kilgore told Fox News Digital, as he pointed to Helmer’s plan to run for Congress. “The whole process looks terrible, because all it is a power grab. We feel the optics are bad.”And the Virginia GOP, in a social media post, argued, “Democrats are so corrupt that they’re anointing nominees from the very people who drew the maps.”THE REDISTRICTING BATTLE FOR THE HOUSE RUNS THROUGH THIS STATE A 44-year-old U.S. Army veteran who served in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Helmer on Wednesday launched a campaign for the Democratic nomination in Virginia’s newly drawn 7th Congressional District — one of four new left-leaning seats that would favor the Democrats if voters pass an April referendum to approve a constitutional amendment greenlighting mid-decade redistricting.VIRGINIA DEMOCRAT GIVES PROFANITY-LACED RESPONSE TO…

President Donald Trump recently dispatched the world’s largest aircraft carrier to the Middle East amid diplomatic talks with Iran — with a warning that, should the Islamic Republic refuse a nuclear deal, a U.S. assault “far worse” than last June’s Operation Midnight Hammer will be the consequence.The president, during remarks at the Board of Peace meeting on Thursday, said he will decide “over the next 10 days” whether he will order a strike on Iran.“We may have to take it a step further or we may not,” he said. “Maybe we’re going to make a deal.”The USS Gerald R. Ford is set to become the keystone of the Pentagon’s naval armada in the region. It will soon join about a dozen warships, including the carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, operating in Central Command’s area of responsibility, U.S. officials told Military Times. Kevin Donegan, a retired vice admiral and former top Navy commander in the Middle East, said in an interview with Military Times that the movements are clearly intended “to [pressure] the Iranians to come to a negotiated settlement,” while conveying the message that force is a credible option if diplomacy fails.“There also has to be, behind that, a potential will…

We take a look back at the life and times of the iconic M14, as well as where it stands today.Retro has been all the rage in recent years, and the interest level in guns from the Cold War era has skyrocketed. Ignoring the nuclear reality of the geopolitical situation during the time period, the guns in question have become something of a cozy nostalgic experience against the constant barrage of bad international news and rampant domestic consumerism in the industry today.Simpler times, if you will.The past few years have seen a growing appreciation for the early War on Terror era and its various attempts to adapt Cold War systems to the needs of the time, among them the venerable M14. We look at the state of the rifle today and what might be to come for the legendary rifle.The Best Rifle for a War Already FoughtThere are certainly quite a few opinions surrounding the M14 and its merits. It has been accused of being too large, too powerful, not powerful enough, both very accurate and not able to hit the broad side of a barn, the shortest-lived service rifle and yet the one that kept coming back when the…

Billionaire Bill Gates has pulled out of the India Artificial Intelligence (AI) summit after the most recent release of the Epstein files. Additionally, former Prince Andrew of the United Kingdom, who has been stripped of his titles and is now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, has been arrested over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Gates arrived in India a few days before he was scheduled to talk as the keynote speaker. So far, Gates has met top elected officials in the state of Andhra Pradesh to discuss projects implemented by his foundation. Pressure is continually mounting over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, making his stay in India contentious at best. “After careful consideration, and to ensure the focus remains on the AI Summit’s key priorities, Mr. Gates will not be delivering his keynote address,” the foundation said on Thursday. Allegations surfaced in the Espetein files that Gates knew he had contracted a sexually transmitted disease and hid the information from his then-wife, Melinda Gates. According to a report by RT, rumors began circulating on Tuesday that he would not speak at the event, prompting the Gates Foundation to insist that the billionaire, who divorced in the aftermath of his exposure as a…

As Ozempic and Mounjaro reshape eating habits, some restaurants are adapting — and Gordon Ramsay isn’t impressed.The celebrity chef and star of Fox’s “Next Level Chef” said he thinks the new trend of GLP-1-inspired menus at restaurants is “stupid.””If I ever hear that word again, the ‘Mounjaro menu,’ I will [expletive] flip my lid,” Ramsay told Tasting Table.OZEMPIC BOOM COLLIDES WITH AMERICA’S EATING HABITS AS RESTAURANTS SHRINK PORTIONS”I’ve never heard anything so embarrassing in all my [expletive] life that chefs are now getting organized with smaller tasting menus to support the weight-loss jab.

In the world of suppressors, six years is a long time. That’s how long the Nomad Ti family has been around, and its latest generation marks a significant departure from previous designs. It still has the deep tone and versatility we’ve come to appreciate, but instead of being a welded, tubeless can, the new one is fabricated via additive manufacturing — 3D printing in metal. Dead Air has more experience than most when it comes to additive manufacturing. Their Lazarus 6 and Mojave 9 cans are both made this way and make use of a patented helical baffle design that cuts down back pressure and gas to the face when used on semi-autos. It was a surprise when first looking into the rear of the Nomad to find a traditional-looking clipped baffle stack — if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, we guess. There are two titanium variants of the new Nomad Ti in the lineup, the Ti XC and the LTi XC, with the main differences between the two being length and weight. Both have the same 1.76-inch outer diameter, but the body of the L variant is 8.125 inches long, whereas the shorty is 6.25 inches. As a…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Republican lawmakers called it “insane” that the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court appointed to a key advisory panel a lawyer with past ties to the Biden administration’s controversial Disinformation Governance Board.Judges on the FISC appointed Jennifer Daskal this month to serve as an amicus curiae, meaning Daskal is now among a small group of lawyers designated to advise the secretive court, which approves warrants for federal authorities to surveil targets for foreign intelligence purposes. The GOP lawmakers say Daskal’s history with the disinformation board raises worries about her ability to discern whether warrants are appropriate.”The same person who helped to build a board to censor American speech now advises judges on how to protect American liberties,” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told Fox News Digital in a statement. “That’s ridiculous — and exactly why Congress must continue our oversight.”HOUSE PASSES FISA RENEWAL WITHOUT ADDED WARRANT MANDATE FOR US DATA Sen.

Movies and the real-world application of firearms have had a troubled relationship. We go to the movies to escape and to dream, so naturally, some of those flights of fancy wind up being applied to how guns are used in movies, and the hero of the movie winds up shooting 30 or so rounds from a six-shot revolver without reloading. Nice trick. In the Michael Mann film “Collateral”, Tom Cruise plays Vincent, a calculating hitman whose precise gun handling sets this film apart from typical Hollywood action. Image: Paramount Pictures For people like me, though, that sort of thing takes me out of the movie. I can only suspend my disbelief so far, so when something happens in the movie like a 30-shot revolver or a hero wasting a platoon of bad guys by hip-firing a machine gun, it takes away from my enjoyment of the movie. However, the reverse is also true. When a director and stunt coordinator take the time to do things correctly, it adds to my enjoyment of the film. A prime example of this is the iconic bank heist shootout in the 1995 movie “Heat”, where a team of bad guys storm through downtown Los Angeles…
