A former U.S. Army soldier convicted of rape, desertion and indecent assualt was arrested in Spain nearly 30 years after fleeing his unit in Germany, ending one of the longest-running manhunts in U.S. Marshals history, the agency announced last week. Jesse Bussey, who had been on the run since 1996, was arrested Nov. 10, 2025, in Málaga, Spain, where authorities said he was teaching English and living under an alias. He has been extradited to the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where he begins his 16-year military prison sentence. Bussey was convicted in absentia for rape, desertion and two counts of indecent assault. In addition to the imprisonment, he also received a reduction in grade to E-1 and dishonorable discharge.The investigation was first reported on by Task & Purpose.The Army’s Criminal Investigation Division previously posted a $25,000 reward for information leading to his capture.

It appears that James Dolan’s pre-playoff speech had an impact on Mike Brown.The New York Knicks’ head coach showed up to Thursday’s ticker-tape parade to celebrate the team’s NBA title, rocking a t-shirt with ’10 Weeks’ written on the back of it. The word ‘Sacrifice’ was seen under the Knicks’ logo across the front of his shirt.The shirt is in reference to the Knicks’ owner’s lengthy speech he delivered to the team before the NBA playoffs got underway about making a 10-week sacrifice. One of the sacrifices Dolan mentioned in his speech was staying abstinent. “I had this idea that maybe you should give up sex for the next 10 weeks,” Dolan told the Knicks on April 3. “You don’t have to give up sex for the next 10 weeks, but like Spartans — do you know what Spartans are? — they denied themselves to gain an edge. Get the edge.”The Knicks went on to lose just three games during their championship run.ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD.

Lawmakers must soon hammer out the differences in their proposals for fiscal 2027 military pay raises, as the Senate has rejected the Trump administration’s request for higher, tiered pay raises — a proposal agreed to by a House committee. The Senate Armed Services Committee has proposed a flat 3.6% pay raise for all troops, instead of the administration’s request for raises between 5 to 7%, depending on pay grade.The proposal passed by the House Armed Services Committee aligned with the administration’s request. Under that measure, junior enlisted service members would receive larger percentages of raises. Those in pay grades E-5 and below would get a 7% raise in 2027; those in grades E-6 through O-3 would get a 6% raise; and those in grades O-4 and above would get 5%. The Senate Armed Services Committee “recognizes the importance of maintaining competitive compensation for members of the Armed Forces and notes that Congress enacted a targeted 14% pay increase for junior enlisted service members” in 2025, the senators wrote in their report accompanying the proposed legislation.In explaining senators’ reasoning for the lower pay raises, they noted that the Defense Department’s Fourteenth Quadrennial Review of Military Compensation, released in early 2025, had…

Charred lodgepoles scratching a gunmetal sky reflected my mood. This morning the elk had won. No plan in mind, I climbed beyond where they’d scattered. Probing the slope’s crest from the sit with my binocular, I saw it. Among ranks of black boles with low-arcing limbs, a branch curved up. The lenses of my 7×35 Bausch & Lomb resolved it. Antler! A 4 o’clock tangle became the bull’s hump — all but hidden by the bead on my .32 Special. After the carbine spoke I scaled the scarp and found blood on hoof-gashed snow. The elk lay 50 yards on. Stay low to glass, even briefly, to reduce your profile and steady the bino — preferably with two hands. To see better afield, you need a binocular. (Yes, binocular. Singular. Bi refers to its two barrels. A pair of binoculars serves no purpose unless you have four eyes.) Animals meet the hunter’s eye as patches of non-reflective earth-tones, bone and muscle melding texture with shadow. All pass as background unless they present something unusual: sun’s glint on eye or nose, motion in the flick of an ear. A binocular distinguishes what matters from what you’ll dismiss. A craving to see…

Iran has declared victory over the United States. The newly signed memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran is a diplomatic victory for Tehran and a “record of US failure.” Iran has also pointed out that the US ruling class has failed to accomplish any of its goals and military objectives, while regular Americans watched the price of fuel skyrocket as their bills became harder to pay. The 14-point document was signed remotely by President Donald Trump and his Iranian counterpart, Masoud Pezeshkian, late on Wednesday and immediately entered force, according to Pakistani mediators, according to a report by RT. Iran has emphatically stated that the Strait of Hormuz will not reopen “toll-free” as Trump has claimed. Trump Claims A Peace Deal Will Be Signed TODAY & Strait Of Hormuz Will Be Open To All “I emphasize again that the Strait of Hormuz will never return to the previous conditions,”  Iran’s parliament speaker and chief negotiator in talks, Mohammad Ghalibaf, said. “Iran has the right to sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, and of course, we will receive a fee for services.” Giving Iran Permanent Control Of The Strait Of Hormuz Will Be A Disaster For The Global Economy Tehran…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The NFL is facing two major issues as the 2026 season approaches: how fans are watching the games, and the ongoing discussion of playing surfaces.The former has been the subject of controversy, so much so that there was a hearing earlier this month regarding the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961, as fans are paying up the wazoo to watch games exclusively on streaming sites.Former NFL tight end-turned-FOX analyst Greg Olsen, however, understands that the league is a money-making business. “I get it. From a high-level, nonbiased perspective, I understand it. I understand the frustrations and why this conversation is out there. The amount of different streamers and subscriptions, and I need to have cable to go along with my cable. I get all of that — I’m also a realist,” Olsen said recently to Fox News Digital.”While I may not have designed it this way and may not always agree with it, I do believe that we just have to operate within the rules in which we’re all living. This is the modern era, and I think people are going to adjust. I think networks are going to pivot and adjust, I…

With any air left in lungs likely heaving from adrenaline, the crew members may have blown bubbles, feeling which way the small pockets of air traveled against their face. Submerged in darkness and feeling around a cockpit becoming a watery tomb, the direction of the bubbles may have told the disoriented helicopter crew the direction of the only thing that mattered: up. An attack helicopter went down off the coast of Oman this month after a Shahed drone engaged with the aircraft. Though the Pentagon said that its two crew members were rescued by an unnamed surface vessel hours later, public details surrounding the incident remain sparse. The military’s investigation may ultimately determine what happened between the Apache and drone, but for experts and analysts, the event is a snapshot into how warfare is changing: attack helicopters, once the apex predators of the battlefield, must learn to navigate an ecosystem crowded with unmanned systems that are smaller, cheaper and deadlier than ever before. The interaction itself seemed an anomaly. Iranian Shahed-136 drones are typically programmed to fly to set coordinates before launch, which makes them adept at striking targets that do not move, according to Kelly Campa, Middle East Team…

“Jesus, Mary, get me there. Get me there.” More than 50 years after then-Capt. John Ripley rhythmically chanted that prayer for three hours as he swung back and forth under a North Vietnamese bridge to rig 500 pounds of explosives, the Marine is set to posthumously be awarded the Medal of Honor. But for the Ripley family, June 18th is more than just the date of the White House ceremony. “June 18, that’s the day my father’s brother, Mike Ripley, was killed,” Tom Ripley told Military Times. After three 13-month tours in Vietnam Mike Ripley was back in the U.S. in 1971, when the new AV-8A Harrier jump jet he was test flying crashed into Chesapeake Bay, killing him instantly.“Service is something that’s been a long tradition in our family,” noted Ripley. “I was a Marine, my brother was a Marine, obviously, my father was a Marine, my uncles, two of my nephews, my son is going into the Navy — he just graduated just a couple weeks ago from the Naval Academy. We love our country. We’re proud and honored to serve our country. It means the world to us to have the opportunity to stand … with of…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! President Donald Trump has shared his opinion about the recent announcement regarding rolling back the golf ball, and as is often the case, his opinion on the topic at hand doesn’t necessarily align with the majority.The USGA and R&A — two governing bodies of golf — originally shared a plan in 2023 that golf ball development would change, making balls travel up to 15 yards shorter at the professional level and up to five yards shorter for amateurs. This was a direct approach to combat distance, and the opinion that it has gotten out of hand with new technology.The original announcement nearly three years ago involved a staggered start that would take effect at the professional level in 2028 and all other golfers in 2030. TEENAGE PHENOM MILES RUSSELL MAKES ENTIRE GOLF WORLD FEEL OLD WITH EYE-POPPING QUOTE AHEAD OF US OPEN DEBUTOn the eve of the 2026 U.S. Open on Wednesday, the USGA and R&A announced that plans for a golf ball rollback have been paused until at least 2030.Trump praised the decision to pause the efforts to roll back the golf ball in a Truth Social post on Wednesday evening.”Congratulations…
