NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Team USA’s Olympic gold medal-winning men’s hockey team arrived at the White House for their meeting with President Donald Trump on Tuesday, as the players are also expected to attend Trump’s State of the Union address. The team made history with its 2-1 overtime win over Team Canada at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics in the gold medal game on Sunday. New Jersey Devils star Jack Hughes hit the golden goal to deliver the U.S. its first men’s hockey gold medal since the 1980 Miracle on Ice team. Canada has historically been the most dominant Olympic hockey team in history, with a world-best nine gold medals. Sunday’s win also avenged a loss to Canada in the NHL’s 4 Nations Face Off exhibition in early 2025, which came amid heightened tensions between the two countries over Trump’s tariff policy. Trump called the players after Sunday’s win, congratulating and thanking them during the locker room celebration.Trump told the men’s team after inviting them to Tuesday’s State of the Union that he’d “have” to invite the women’s team, otherwise “I probably would be impeached.” The players laughed in response to Trump’s joke. Video of the exchange has since gone…

Veterans and lawmakers want the Department of Veterans Affairs to rescind a regulation published Feb. 17 that would have VA required medical examiners to consider the effectiveness of treatments or medication on a disability when determining a compensation rating. VA Secretary Doug Collins promised Thursday that the department would not enforce the controversial rule, but it remains on the books. The legal limbo has alarmed veterans, advocacy groups and lawmakers who say the proposal must be revoked to guarantee it won’t be followed. The rule stipulated that VA medical examiners base ratings evaluations on a veteran’s actual level of impairment during every day life.If treatment lowered the level of disability, the associated rating would be based on the lowered disability level, according to the rule. VA officials said the regulation rule formalized a practice that has been in place since 1958 and deemed it necessary because the VA faces reconsidering 350,000 claims decisions and retraining its medical examiners as a result of the 2025 Ingram v. Collins ruling.Without it, they said, the department would see “an overall increase in compensation expenditures based on disability level that veterans are not actually experiencing.” But veterans saw the announcement, which sidestepped the standard…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin defended Savannah Chrisley’s guest host stint on the talk show during Monday’s “Behind the Table” podcast, telling “outraged fans” it was what the show is all about.”So the reaction from social media from our more ardent fans was loud. I obviously saw a lot of it,” the show’s producer, Brian Teta, said. “They were outraged at the idea that we would — they did not like the idea that there was anybody here that would be a supporter of Trump or MAGA at the table.”Chrisley appeared as a guest host on “The View” last week, which resulted in back-and-forth exchanges with the liberal co-hosts, including over President Donald Trump. “Well, that’s what ‘The View’ is. You have to be able to sit with people that, you know, voted for him three times and support him and continue to support him,” Hostin responded.”I have family members that voted for him three times,” Hostin said.Teta said it was likely fans of the show had family members who supported the president. He speculated, “Maybe they’ve cut everybody else off that does.””I haven’t,” Hostin said. “It’s hard.”Teta said the backlash over…

The Vietnam War involved all manner of fighters, the quality of which varied on both sides. The communists ranged from local Viet Cong guerrillas to professional People’s Army of Vietnam (PAVN) soldiers and between them, VC trained in the northerners’ light infantry tactics. Besides the well-trained service personnel from the United States, Australia, Philippines and Thailand, South Vietnam’s formal Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) and less consistent anti-communist Civilian Irregular Defense Group (CIDG) forces frequently went into battle accompanied by a handful of American advisors. Among those American advisors was Jack Jacobs.Born in Brooklyn, New York, on Aug. 2, 1945, to a Jewish family of mixed Greek, Polish and Romanian heritage, Jacobs spent his childhood in Queens, near LaGuardia Airport and later in Woodbridge Township, New Jersey. After graduating from Woodbridge High School, he earned a bachelor’s and master’s of arts at Rutgers University, while also training in the Reserve Officers Training Corps, from which he emerged with a second lieutenant’s commission in 1966. Over the next two years he served as a platoon leader in the 82nd Airborne Division, battalion executive officer in the 7th Infantry Division and a battalion commander in the 10th Infantry Division in…

The United States Department of War is seeking to acquire “killer AI (artificial intelligence)”. This kind of AI doesn’t ask questions of humans. So the real question is, what does the Pentagon plan to do with this technology? The Pentagon Seeks “Killer AI” Without Safeguards We have previously reported on Claude, an AI system developed by the American company Anthropic. According to media reports, it was used by the U.S. military in planning the operation aimed at capturing Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The use of AI in serious military planning is striking in itself. But the scandal that followed is far more revealing about the U.S. ruling class. Anthropic is standing on its strict ideological position. It has made it abundantly clear that its AI systems are not intended for warfare or mass surveillance. These ethical restrictions are not marketing slogans; they are built directly into the architecture of the software so that the ruling class cannot force AI to be “immoral”. The company applies these limits internally and expects its clients to do the same. The Department of War claimed that it used Claude in the operation in Venezuela without informing Anthropic of its intended purpose. When this became…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A federal judge in Minnesota ruled on Monday to hold government officials in civil contempt for violating a judicial order that prohibited the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from transferring detainee Fernando Gutierrez Torres, a Mexican national.U.S. District Judge Eric Tostrud, who was appointed by President Donald Trump in 2018, found that despite an earlier order prohibiting Torres’ transfer out of Minnesota, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) moved him to Texas without notifying his attorney.A judge granted Torres’ habeas petition and ordered ICE to release him from custody “as soon as practicable, but not later than 48 hours” after the order was entered, according to court documents.Filings state a major winter storm in Texas led to a state of emergency declaration, and Torres’ ICE-scheduled flight was canceled. The agency realized the earliest they could reschedule his return to Minnesota was Jan. 27, which would be past the 48-hour release deadline mandated by the court. In a rush to comply with that 48-hour deadline, the agency decided to release him immediately in El Paso, Texas, rather than waiting to fly him back to Minnesota.His belongings were allegedly withheld when he was freed, according…

Non-training military working dogs at bases across the country are facing neglectful conditions caused by aging facilities and a lack of ample caretakers, according to a U.S. Department of Defense Inspector General report.The office conducted 12 site visits to military working dog programs and found that the department and the program’s manager did not sufficiently protect the dogs from extreme weather conditions, mold issues and did not manage quarantine and isolation areas well. Many of the dogs are housed and trained in aging and unsatisfactory kennel facilities, with some constructed over 40 years ago, resulting in the death of four dogs from fiscal year 2021 through fiscal 2023, the 42-page report released on Feb. 17 said.“DoD Service Component officials told us that the unsatisfactory kennel facility conditions occurred because the Service Component Commands did not prioritize renovation or new construction of the kennels over other mission requirements,” the report states.The report determined that the department needs to improve the kennel facility conditions across the services because it can lead to canine health issues, injuries and behavioral challenges.In their examination, the office focused on non-training dogs, those awaiting deployment, medical disposition or in training rejection status. Those in training status generally…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The U.S. Postal Service cannot be sued for damages for intentionally failing to deliver mail, the Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 decision released Tuesday.The majority opinion, written by Justice Clarence Thomas, ruled the government’s sovereign immunity bars claims for undelivered mail. “The United States enjoys sovereign immunity and cannot be sued without its consent,” Thomas wrote, citing the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) granting “sovereign immunity for a wide range of claims about mail.””Specifically, the FTCA’s postal exception retains sovereign immunity for all claims ‘arising out of the loss, miscarriage, or negligent transmission of letters or postal matter,’” he continued, adding, “This case concerns whether this exception applies when postal workers intentionally fail to deliver the mail. We hold that it does.”TRUMP SAYS SUPREME COURT RULING AGAINST BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP ORDER WOULD BENEFIT CHINA The case, U.S. Postal Service v. Konan, stemmed from a dispute between Texas landlord Lebene Konan and her local post office. Konan alleged that postal workers in Euless, Texas, intentionally withheld and returned mail addressed to her and her tenants at two rental properties she owned, causing financial harm and emotional distress.After her administrative complaints failed, Konan sued the…

A North Carolina-based company providing insect-prevention treatment to Army combat uniforms settled a lawsuit alleging it had manipulated and failed to perform proper testing on garments. Insect Shield and the estate of its co-founder, Richard Lane, who died in 2022, agreed to pay $1.4 million to resolve the case, the Justice Department announced earlier this month. In the lawsuit, the government claimed that Insect Shield failed to follow the Army’s permethrin testing requirements between 2015 and 2021. According to the company’s website, permethrin is an insect repellent treatment that helps protect against mosquitoes, ticks, ants, flies, chiggers and midges.The government alleged that the company inappropriately combined results from different rounds of testing, relabeled test samples to hide the sample’s origin, violated its contract by excessively retesting and concealed failed test results. Brett A. Shumate, assistant attorney general of the Justice Department’s civil division, described the settlement as part of their effort to “aggressively pursue those who defraud the American taxpayers by failing to properly perform required testing on goods supplied to our soldiers.”Christopher Dillard, special agent in charge of the Mid-Atlantic Field Office for the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, added that “manipulating and failing to perform contractually required testing is…
