I’ve said it many times, unironically: Joey Chestnut is one of, if not the most dominant athletes of all time.But even Michael Jordan took a couple of losses in his day, and the man they call “Jaws” just took a heartbreaking loss in a tater tot eating contest during his barnstorming tour of minor league baseball stadiums.However, this loss will come with one big, fat asterisk.JOEY CHESTNUT REVEALS FOODS HE WON’T EAT IN COMPETITION AS HE TOURS MINOR LEAGUE STADIUMS FOR LOCAL DELICACIES Chestnut has been going around the country for special events and doing what he does best, eating copious amounts of food and obliterating the competition in the process.However, when he rolled into a Lake Country DockHounds game just outside of Milwaukee, Chestnut met his match.He lost the tater tot eating contest by just one tenth of an ounce.Down goes Chestnut! Down goes Chestnut!A stunner. I can’t even wrap my head around how much tater tot is equal to a tenth of an ounce. I wish I had a bag of Ore-Ida’s and a kitchen scale on me to figure it out (I checked the freezer; no tots, but there was a freezer-burned bag of Arby’s curly fries…

Last month, the Marine Corps introduced new service-level training to teach Marines how to counter small combat drones with weapons currently available in their arsenal. The training commenced with a three-day event at Twentynine Palms, California, where Marines from the 1st and 2nd Marine Divisions learned how to shoot down small unmanned aerial systems, or sUASs, with rifles, shotguns and grenade launchers, according to a recent release. Capt. Faith Richardson, a platoon commander with the Tactical Training and Exercise Control Group, said in the release that they aimed to give Marines “a realistic look at the threat.”For the exercise, TTECG created counter-sUAS lanes where Marines engaged simulated enemy drones from distances as close as 20 meters, or around 65 feet. Controlled by members of TTECG, nicknamed “Coyotes,” the drones reach speeds at over 90 miles per hour. “The intent of the C-sUAS lanes was to build the confidence of our Marines to target sUAS and complete the mission,” Richardson added. Inside the lane, Marines practiced using an assortment of weapons, including the M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle, the M1014 shotgun, and M32A1 and M320 grenade launchers as well as electronic anti-drone weapons. In addition to the live-fire training, the event included…

Open carry — the wearing of a holstered gun in plain view in public — has become a hot-button issue among our nation’s pistol-packers. There are, naturally, talking points on both sides of the debate. A few years ago, Mark Walters invited me to join a panel on this topic on his popular show, Armed America Radio. One of the panelists was an outspoken advocate of open carry. Another was a law enforcement officer just as adamantly opposed to the practice. I was the one in the middle on the issue. Open carry means wearing a holstered handgun in plain view, like this 1911 worn during a game of billiards. Whether that visibility deters trouble or invites it is the heart of the debate. I was reminded during that show of the NRA official who long ago said that in polarized debates, the only things in the middle of the road are yellow stripes and dead skunks. Given the intensity of emotions on this issue, the middle of the road is not a comfortable place to be … yet here I am. The Talking Points: Pro The arguments put forth in favor of openly carrying handguns in public seem to boil…

A retired Air Force lieutenant colonel who carried the nuclear “football” for former President Bill Clinton says the extraordinary Air Force One shell game departing Ankara, Turkey last month to protect President Donald Trump from a potential attack was hardly unprecedented.”It was brilliant,” retired Lt. Col. Robert “Buzz” Patterson told Fox News Digital. “I wish I had been a part of it. That’s how well done it was.”But Patterson is warning that exposing the vital national security secrets behind such operations could put presidents, military personnel and the White House press corps in danger for years to come.Patterson served as Clinton’s senior military aide for a period of two years and was responsible for the president’s emergency satchel, and in a 20-minute interview Wednesday, he explained how presidential decoys, aircraft swaps and other acts of deception are longstanding tools used to protect the commander in chief, his senior officials and the “privileged” Air Force One press corps.TRUMP USED CATERING TRUCK, AIR FORCE ONE DECOY TO EVADE IRAN THREAT: REPORTWhat alarms him, Patterson said, is not that Trump’s security team used the tactic – including the catering truck sleight of hand he was…

FIRST ON FOX: The Trump administration has opened a federal civil rights investigation into Florida State University (FSU) over 32 scholarships accused of discriminating against students based on race or sex, according to a Department of Education (DOE) letter obtained by Fox News Digital.The DOE’s Office for Civil Rights said it will investigate whether FSU discriminated on the basis of race, color or national origin in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and whether the university discriminated based on sex in violation of Title IX.The investigation stems from a July 2025 complaint filed by the Equal Protection Project (EPP) that targeted 32 FSU scholarships.
