The Springfield Armory M1A Tanker represents the synergistic combination of a compact, full-power rifle with a timelessly attractive aesthetic. Pushing a full-sized 7.62x51mm/.308 Win. round in a chassis that lends itself to maneuverability and easy portage, the M1A Tanker also captures some of that classic inimitable Parkerized steel and stained walnut of a bygone era. The Springfield Armory M1A Tanker represents the optimized close quarters rendition of the classic M1A rifle with old-school aesthetics. For the American shooter looking for practical utility with a spritz of class, the M1A Tanker is your iron. Why Do We Do This, Anyway? The modern American enthusiasm for firearms usually distills down to three different discrete attributes — practicality, appeal and nostalgia. Most of us select our working guns based upon their effectiveness as defensive tools. First and foremost, if I might conceivably use this thing to defend my family, it has to run perfectly and shoot straight. The connection between the original M1 Garand and the M1A Tanker (shown) is obvious. Additionally, guns are cool, but they also need to be fun. If the shooting experience isn’t enjoyable, that’s a disincentive to train. The fanciest, most expensive defensive firearm in the world is…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! After decades in the spotlight, Matt Damon is opening up about how Hollywood’s “ruthless” nature has impacted his most important job to date: being a father.In an interview with GQ, Damon — who stars as Odysseus, the king of Ithaca, in Christopher Nolan’s highly-anticipated film, “The Odyssey” — got candid about the constant uncertainty within the entertainment business and explained the sacrifices that came with it while being a dad to his four daughters.”There’s less of that kind of young person’s engine of needing to prove something and more about, like, accepting work and doing it on your terms and doing it as precisely and as well as you can. I think about it a lot, especially as my kids are getting older: really trying to be here now,” said Damon, who is dad to Isabella, 19, Gia, 17, and Stella, 15, as well as Alexia, 26, from his wife Luciana’s first marriage. “And it’s hard for me to do that.” “I think maybe that has to do with my own nature,” he added. “It also has to do with this career where you’re always trying to figure out what’s ahead, because…

Fourteen weeks after President Donald Trump ordered an attack on Iran, the U.S. military is adjusting to an unusual state of conflict that is not full-scale war, but also far from peace.On ships and bases in the Middle East, U.S. troops — some recovering from injuries — operate amid exchanges of fire with Iran every few days as the Navy blockades Iran’s ports. At home, the Pentagon is scrambling to bolster production of depleted munitions as families of service members cope with the stress of extended deployments. Counterattacks from Iran continue against U.S. allies in the region, such as Bahrain and Kuwait, which Iran targeted in a ballistic missile attack on Friday. Trump declared his ceasefire with Iran in April, but the war has settled into a stalemate, with Iran keeping the Strait of Hormuz largely closed to shipping and Trump threatening a return to full-scale bombings of Iran if peace negotiations fail.The threat requires U.S. troops to maintain an acute state of readiness.That means everything from stocking bases with missiles and interceptors to scouring intelligence from drones and satellites to updating lists of targets inside Iran should large-scale fighting resume.“To maintain this constant state of ‘Level 10’ alert vigilance,…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Apple has spent years telling us that privacy starts on the device. For many users, that message feels reassuring. Your messages, photos, emails and app data sit in your hand, protected by Face ID, passcodes and Apple’s security layers. Now, new research gives Apple’s on-device AI a reality check.Researchers with RSAC Research found a way to manipulate Apple Intelligence using prompt injection, adversarial prompts and Unicode tricks. In 100 tests, they reported a 76% success rate against the on-device model used by Apple Intelligence. The researchers disclosed the findings to Apple on October 15, 2025. Apple later hardened protections in iOS 26.4 and macOS 26.4, according to RSAC.Here’s the part that should get your attention: this kind of attack may not require someone to steal your iPhone, crack your passcode or break into Apple’s servers. It could start with carefully crafted text that tricks the AI into doing something you never asked it to do. If your phone’s AI can read, summarize, rewrite or help apps take action, attackers will try to trick it into doing things you never intended. So what can you do? Start by understanding how this attack works,…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! On May 4, the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association made girls flag football the 35th sanctioned varsity sport in the state. The vote took a few minutes. The work behind it took 15 years.Sanctioning girls flag football as a varsity sport makes opportunity official. Too — turning years of grassroots effort by parents, educators, coaches, students and us into lasting equity through stable funding, structured competition and a clear pathway for girls to advance.Football has always been a powerful force for connections — bridging communities, generations and backgrounds. Too often, access to the game has not matched its promise. Opportunity, resources and the simple assurance that a girl belongs on the field have been unevenly shared. Girls flag football is changing that, not through symbolism, but through sustained commitment, real belief and decisive action.That belief has been matched by investment. Since 2011, the New York Jets have supported more than 260 teams across three countries, reaching over 7,000 young women each year through more than $2.5 million in funding and grants. What began as a question of possibility supporting roughly 20 schools in New York City’s Public Schools Athletic League has…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A Florida police department is taking a victory lap after thwarting an unsanctioned “teen takeover,” marking the latest move from law enforcement working to combat the viral events sweeping the nation. Authorities with the St. Augustine Beach Police Department shut down an unsanctioned event scheduled for Thursday at a local pier after they used electronic monitoring to identify the plan before it dissolved into chaos. “We’re a beach town, so we’ve always had spring break crowds that show up – but nothing that’s been organized like this with the sole intent of just causing disruption,” St. Augustine Beach Police Chief Daniel Carswell told Fox News Digital. The gathering was initially scheduled for 2 p.m. Thursday, according to the event flyer shared by the department.VIRAL TEEN TAKEOVERS UNLEASH CHAOS NATIONWIDE AS MALLS, BEACHES AND RESTAURANTS BECOME BATTLEGROUNDS “Pull up. Turn Up. Take over,” the flyer reads, with a large “Canceled” banner plastered across the post on social media. According to Carswell, the department is working alongside neighboring law enforcement agencies to leverage an electronic monitoring system designed to flag planned events before they take place. “We work together great, especially with the [St. John’s County] Sheriff’s Office,” Carswell…
