Do you know where you were on this day 18 years ago?You probably don’t, but I remember it like it was yesterday. I was at a movie theater formerly known as Ridge Cinema in Davie, Florida, watching “The Dark Knight” on opening day with a group of my closest friends.I can recall this partially because of how mind-blowing the movie was (more on that in a bit) but also because some guy had a heart attack in the front row and I had to run to the concession stand and tell some poor teenager working his summer job to call 9-1-1. ‘ODYSSEY’ STARS ZENDAYA, ANNE HATHAWAY AND MATT DAMON TURN HEADS AS DIRECTOR CHRISTOPHER NOLAN FACES BACKLASHHe survived, but they had to end the movie prematurely and offer us vouchers to come watch it again at a later date for free.I didn’t even see the climax and resolution until the DVD release, and I still thought “The Dark Knight” was the greatest superhero movie ever made. That’s how good it was.18 years later, and I still hold that opinion.Sure, movies like “Captain America: Civil War” and “Avengers: Infinity War” were bigger spectacles, but Christopher Nolan’s grounded and gritty take on…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! As smoke from Canadian wildfires continues to drift across parts of the United States, forestry experts say Canada could reduce the severity of some fires through more aggressive forest management.The issue reached the White House Friday, with President Donald Trump accusing Canada of failing to properly manage its forests and threatening to factor the economic cost of the smoke into tariffs on Canadian imports.”We are holding Canada responsible for the fact that they are not properly maintaining their Forests, and Brush therein, and the United States is being unnecessarily invaded by filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. He said he planned to call Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and accused Canada of refusing to engage in “basic Forest Management and Debris Removal,” calling it “Willful Negligence.”TRUMP SHOULD EXPAND HIS BORDER CRACKDOWN. TIMING IS PERFECT TO REIN IN CANADA AND MEXICO Andrew Hale, a Canadian fellow at Advancing American Freedom, argued that Canada’s wildfire policies have failed to prioritize forest management.”Canada has a policy of not keeping reservoirs. They also will not cut firebreaks and will not thin their forests,” Hale told Fox News Digital. “This is the result…

After more than two years of anticipation, Nike unveiled Caitlin Clark’s first signature basketball shoe, the Nike Caitlin 1, marking a major milestone for one of basketball’s biggest stars. Clark became one of a select group of athletes to receive a signature sneaker from Nike, joining an elite roster of basketball icons.On Saturday, after a historic 45-point performance against the Seattle Storm the day before, and setting a franchise record for points scored while becoming the first player in WNBA history to record a 40-plus-point 10-assist game, Clark unveiled a new colorway for the Nike Caitlin 1. CAITLIN CLARK MAKES WNBA HISTORY WITH RECORD-BREAKING GAME AFTER WEEKS OF CONTROVERSYNow that another colorway has been released, here are my favorites so far:This bright royal blue upper (called racer blue on Nike’s website) accented by a white Nike Swoosh and neon volt details was the first colorway for the Caitlin 1 released. At first, this shoe was underwhelming, but it’s grown on me.This white upper with a clear blue bottom is the most versatile of the four colorways revealed by Clark so far. It’s a clean look that will be seen on and off the court more than any other colorway, in…

Israel has proposed a radical idea: to use crocodiles to guard prisons. The Jewish state has reportedly reclassified Nile crocodiles as “tended” animals, which could clear the way for the animals’ use as part of prison security. The controversial proposal to surround prisons with crocodile-filled moats was reportedly floated late last year by far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. The politician argued that the reptiles would strengthen security and deter escape attempts. The plan was initially deemed legally unfeasible by the Israel Nature and Parks Authority because Nile crocodiles were classified as wild animals that could only be kept in zoos and wildlife sanctuaries. The reclassification opens the door to the use of Nile crocodiles in prisons for security. According to a report by RT, the official legal obstacle was reportedly removed this week when Environmental Protection Minister Idit Silman redesignated the Nile crocodile as a “tended wild animal,” Israeli media reported on Friday. The new classification allows the reptiles to be kept in a wider range of facilities, potentially including prisons. According to Israeli media reports, Ben-Gvir wants to first introduce the reptiles to Ketziot Prison, a penitentiary in southern Israel that holds primarily Palestinian prisoners. After he first floated the…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Democratic strategist James Carville blasted major television networks Friday for declining to carry President Donald Trump’s election integrity speech in full, arguing Americans should have been allowed to watch what he described as the president’s increasingly erratic behavior.”I would advise them to attack CNN, attack ABC, attack NBC… because they didn’t air the speech,” Carville told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer when asked how Democrats should respond to Trump’s primetime address.”I think the president of the United States acting loonier than a tune is newsworthy.”ABC, NBC, CNN AVOID AIRING TRUMP’S PRIMETIME ELECTION SECURITY ADDRESS LIVE Carville argued the networks missed an opportunity to let voters judge Trump’s remarks for themselves, contending that watching the address in its entirety would have reinforced concerns about the president’s conduct rather than helped his political standing.Blitzer responded by pressing Carville on that note, asking him to confirm his suggestion.”You think we should have given him more publicity, is that what you’re saying?” he asked.TONY DOKOUPIL CLASHES WITH MARK WARNER AFTER THE SENATOR RIPPED CBS FOR AIRING TRUMP SPEECH ‘AS NEWS’ “Absolutely saying that,” Carville responded.”I’m absolutely saying that I think the decision not to air that speech by…

Federal prosecutors charged a soldier and his girlfriend with murder after alleging they allowed their baby and three dogs to starve while living in on-base housing at Fort Benning, Georgia.Ladarrion McCray, 23, and Emma Bradshaw, 22, face eight charges, including felony murder by child abuse, making false statements and aggravated animal cruelty, according to a July 15 announcement.Prosecutors allege the couple “willfully deprived their son of necessary sustenance” for roughly two weeks in January. The child, identified in court documents as “L.M.,” died on Jan. 28 as a result of the alleged neglect.According to investigators, McCray had recently been transferred to Fort Benning, and Bradshaw joined him a short time later while pregnant with the child. Court records do not specify the child’s age or when the family moved into on-base housing.Army investigators executed a search warrant at the home the day the child died and found two dogs — a male hound and a female Doberman — that “appeared severely malnourished.” Both animals were taken to a shelter, where veterinarians determined they suffered from “severe malnourishment and significant muscle wasting.”During interviews with investigators, McCray and Bradshaw said their son had shown no signs of illness before his death. They…

The McDonnell F3H Demon was a single-seat, carrier-based jet fighter developed for the United States Navy in the 1950’s. This aircraft represents a critical but troubled chapter in American naval aviation: one that pushed the McDonnell Aircraft Corporation toward design philosophies that would eventually produce the legendary F-4 Phantom II. But the path there wasn’t pretty. The F3H struggled with underpowered engines, weight problems, and structural failures that killed test pilots and delayed its operational deployment for years.

Image: U.S. Navy First flown in 1951, the F3H emerged during the jet age transition when the Navy desperately needed supersonic interceptors capable of defending carrier battle groups from Soviet bombers. The Demon was supposed to fill that role. It didn’t quite get there. But understanding what went wrong, and what eventually went right, tells you a lot about how naval aviation evolved during the Cold War. Development Origins and the Westinghouse J40 Disaster McDonnell won a Navy contract in 1949 for a new swept-wing carrier fighter. The design specifications called for high speed,…
