Less than two months after U.S. forces rescued two crew members behind enemy lines after their aircraft was shot down over Iran, filmmaker Michael Bay has confirmed he will be helming a movie based on the mission.Backed by Universal Pictures, the “Transformers” director is slated to shepherd the speed-of-light-turnaround project based on the April 3 shoot down of a U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle and subsequent rescue of its crew during U.S.-led operations against the Islamic Republic, Deadline reported.

Two Americans have died in the Philippines during a military engagement that the government said involved communist-linked groups.Lyle Prijoles, 40, and transgender woman Kai Dana-Rene Sorem, 26, were among the 19 people killed last month during a firefight between the Philippine Army and suspected members of a communist insurgency.The U.S.-born Filipino Americans are now at the center of a disputed encounter, with critics alleging the two were active combatants for the New People’s Army (NPA), the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), which has been designated a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department. Human rights groups and the NPA, however, reportedly maintain that the pair were civilian activists who posed no military threat.According to the City Journal, the two Americans were first exposed to left-wing ideology through college-linked institutions that critics say helped pave the way to involvement with groups the Philippine government has long argued serve as fronts for the CPP.FAMILIAR PROTEST GROUPS MOBILIZE IMMEDIATELY AFTER ICE SHOOTING OF MINNESOTA PROTESTER “This brings to two (2) the number of U.S. citizens—Lyle Prijoles and Kai Dana-Rene Sorem—who died in the same incident, a development that highlights…

The U.S. military services are planning to ask for exceptions to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s decision to allow military personnel to decide whether to get an annual flu vaccine, after years of requiring the shot. Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness Anthony Tata told senators Wednesday the department has solicited input from the services, which are now coming back “with a robust set of exception” requests. Tata said the exceptions are “draft pre-decisional” and will be gathered by the department, reviewed and sent to Hegseth for final decisions. “We are talking submarines, we are talking about ships, we are talking about basic training, we are talking about Ranger School,” Tata said. During a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on military personnel policy, Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, raised concerns over military readiness of the U.S. armed forces as a result of the change. Noting that the U.S. Army developed the flu vaccine to halt the spread of disease, she asked whether the DoD reviewed any studies that influenced the change. “There’s such a thing as leadership that would say to the service members, ‘This is for your health protection. It’s science based,’” Hirono said. RELATEDTata said Hegseth made the…

While the risk of Ebola and hantavirus to Americans is low, the World Health Organization, along with other experts, says that both are still a concern. However, health officials state that the Ebola outbreak is a far more serious epidemic than the hanatavirus. “I am deeply concerned about the scale and speed of the epidemic,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at the World Health Assembly on May 19th, according to a report by TODAY.com.  The Ebola Scare Begins: The Worst Outbreak Of Bundibugyo Virus Disease In World History The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced an entry ban for foreign travelers who’ve visited DRC, Uganda, or South Sudan in the last 21 days, and said it plans to ramp up screenings for anyone returning from Ebola-affected countries. There have been only a couple of previous Bundibugyo outbreaks: one in Uganda in 2007 and one in Congo in 2012. The fatality rate during those incidents ranged from 30% to 50%, according to the WHO. The reason health officials are more concerned about the Ebola virus than the hantavirus is twofold. “This outbreak was already quite large when it was detected, which is concerning because the virus has had weeks…

What if he surprises himself?

President Donald Trump told Coast Guard Academy graduates Wednesday that they inherited the legacy of “some of the most daring and intrepid Americans ever to live” and will “go onto greatness themselves” in service to the country. Speaking in New London, Connecticut, to more than 230 commissioning officers, Trump praised the cadets — some of whom already have saved lives or been involved in major counter-drug operations — for “unbelievable heroism and exceptional selflessness.” “No matter how terrible the storm, no matter how difficult the mission, never surrender. Keep going, keep fighting and make the adversary quit first,” Trump advised during his commencement speech at the 150-year-old school. The address marked the second time Trump has spoken at a Coast Guard Academy graduation and the first since his administration announced a $25 billion investment in the service last year. With the cash infusion, the previously cash-strapped service has embarked on repairs, maintenance and construction of infrastructure, purchased new systems and equipment and jump started new acquisitions of ships and aircraft. During the ceremony, Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Kevin Lunday said the service had spent $13 billion and was on track to spend the funding by the end of this year.…
