NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! FIRST ON FOX: Harvard allegedly failed to adequately safeguard research collaborations with Chinese institutions, including universities tied to Beijing’s military and defense-industrial base, according to a report from the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party.Researchers affiliated with the New England Ivy League co-authored more than 140 publications with other researchers affiliated with a group of Chinese universities, according to the report reviewed by Fox News Digital ahead of its public release.The “Seven Sons of National Defense” are a group of Chinese universities identified by the Pentagon and other U.S. officials as central to China’s defense research and military modernization efforts. The House Committee created to crackdown on China argues Harvard’s approach to research security opened the door for collaborations that could advance technological and military capabilities of the hostile nation.Harvard also reported received more than $600 million from China under the federal Section 117 foreign-gift disclosure system — more than any other American university, according to the Education Department dashboard cited in the report. The committee argues the U.S. university’s financial ties to China heighten the need for strict oversight of its research partnerships and foreign-funding disclosures. HARVARD TOPS NATION…

It can be tough to hang up a favorite hunting rifle, but when laws requiring straight-wall cartridges go away, you might find yourself doing just that.I have become increasingly sentimental about things, to the point that I worry it might be a terminal descent into nostalgia instead of a meaningful period of reflection on what I have thus far accomplished in life. It could be the kids growing up or my hometown having changed so much that it no longer feels like the place I knew.And the changes keep coming.Even good things, on occasion, have a touch of dread—signaling broader changes and the unknown. Michigan recently announced that the “straight-wall zone” was no more, and regular rifle cartridges could be used for hunting deer. While this isn’t interesting to many people, it struck a chord that an era of hunting, scouting and friendships had come to an end.Using My SoapboxA lot of people I speak to know I publish on these esteemed pages. With them, I’m usually referred to as Josh the Writer to separate me from the rather dense crowd of other men blessed with that name who populate my neck of the woods. More accurately, I should be…

The Pentagon will begin annually screening service members for testosterone deficiency, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on Wednesday, citing the need to ensure troops maintain the “biological foundation” to fight. Under the new program, the secretary said service members aged 30 and older will be tested yearly for testosterone deficiency as part of routine health assessments. Troops under 30, meanwhile, will have the option to be tested, he said. The decision to receive testosterone replacement therapy — if recommended by a medical professional — will remain up to the individual service member. “It’s about restoring and optimizing your natural capabilities, protecting your longevity and ensuring you have the biological foundation required to sustain the fight,” Hegseth said in a video posted to X. The video did not specify if the testing and treatment would be gender-specific and appeared to connect the directive to mental wellness. “As we know, the modern battlefield is brutal and unrelenting,” he said. “It requires and demands maximum psychological and mental readiness. And by addressing these health markers early, we’re keeping you on the leading edge of lethality and giving you the same level of support that you give this nation — the absolute best.”The requirement…

US ruler Donald Trump is hypocritically demanding that Israeli ruler Benjamin Netanyahu pull his military forces from Lebanon and Syria, as the US increases its strikes on Iran.  “They don’t want you there. You should redeploy,” Trump reportedly told the Israeli leader. Perhaps the warmongerer should take his own advice. Netanyahu insists on continuing the occupation of both Lebanon and Syria, while the US presses forward in its own war with Iran, which Israel assisted in starting. Iran, Israel, And The United States All Say That They Are Ready For War The reported push to end the occupation follows a meeting between Trump and Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa on the sidelines of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit in Türkiye last week. According to Axios, the Trump administration has spent months trying to broker a new security arrangement between Israel and Syria. In a statement released after the call, Netanyahu’s office said the prime minister had stressed “the need for security zones along Israel’s borders.” Previously, Netanyahu has said that the military campaigns will not only continue, but they will also intensify until the utter destruction of the terrorist organization, Hezbollah, is complete. The Jerusalem Post, citing defense officials, reported on…

The U.S. conducted a new wave of strikes against Iran’s coastal defense systems and cruise missile storage and launch sites on Wednesday after reimposing a naval blockade of Iranian ports, while Iran threatened to shut off more regional energy exports. The strikes mark the latest escalation of attacks and counterattacks launched by the two sides as they vie for control of the Strait of Hormuz, which carried about a fifth of global oil and gas shipments before the war. “At 6 a.m. ET today, U.S. Central Command forces began launching a wave of strikes against Iran,” the U.S. military said.“The strikes are designed to further degrade military capabilities Iranian forces have used to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.” There were no immediate reports of attacks in Iranian media. U.S. Central Command said in a statement the military had targeted coastal defense systems and cruise missile storage and launch sites on Iran’s Greater Tunb Island, and had completed the wave of strikes within around 90 minutes.Late on Tuesday the U.S. military said it had hit dozens of military targets near the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian coastal areas in strikes lasting seven hours.In response, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard…

With 2026 ACC Media Days kicking off in earnest Wednesday, the question on everyone’s mind is whether anyone can stand in the way of the Miami Hurricanes this season.The Canes were a Carson Beck interception away from hoisting a national championship trophy on their home turf, and many believe this year’s squad has more firepower to work with.While the games still have to be played and fall camp hasn’t even started, there is an overwhelming sense among conference and national media members alike that it will be Miami versus the field in 2026.INTERNET IS UP IN ARMS ABOUT ESPN FPI RANKINGS, BUT EVERYONE IS MISSING ONE KEY POINT It is worth noting that the Hurricanes still have not won an ACC Championship since joining the conference more than two decades ago, but with the talent head coach Mario Cristobal has assembled, both on this roster and on his coaching staff, this has to be the year they get over the hump in conference play.Miami returns a litany of playmakers, both homegrown and through the portal, as players like Malachi Toney, Mark Fletcher Jr. and Cooper Barkate will give offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson plenty of weapons to play with.The man throwing…

NEW TAIPEI CITY, Taiwan — China sent coast guard vessels to patrol the Pacific Ocean east of Taiwan in June and weeks later test-fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile from the South China Sea to the Pacific.While the two maneuvers answered different security-related activities by U.S. allies in Asia, experts say China used both to try out new, attention-grabbing and long-term ways to deter others from challenging its territorial claims.The Chinese Coast Guard vessels in waters east of Taiwan since May are meant as police activity rather than more provocative four years of sporadic naval or air force drills around the self-ruled island that Beijing claims as its own, analysts said. China has threatened to take Taiwan by force, if needed.But a white-hulled vessel formation’s continued presence 54 nautical miles (100 kilometers) from Taiwan shows signs of becoming a long-term exercise – something that hasn’t been tried before – rather than a quick pass-through by armed forces, they said.“That China uses the coast guard instead of the navy and air force is probably to reduce the threat profile of the exercises, so as to be able to claim restraint rather than escalating to the level of the formal military,” said Brian…

Back in the 1990s, it was widely predicted that laser sights might very well be the next “big thing” in handguns utilized for personal defense. The first successful laser sight was invented by Dr. John Matthews — founder of famed SureFire — some years before, but it wasn’t quite ready for prime time. Matthews was able to design a helium-neon laser and mount it on a revolver and, while it did indeed work, cost and size of such a unit made it impractical. The Streamlight TLR-8 G, featuring a white light and a green laser, is a perfect match for the high-performance, compact Hellcat Pro pistol. Over time, laser sights became smaller, lighter, and cost effective, and firms would eventually succeed in building robust laser sights that could be affixed to handguns commonly used for defensive applications. Unlike earlier offerings, these new laser sight systems did not change the external dimensions of the gun, allowing it to be carried in readily available holsters. The Details A laser sight projects either a visible or invisible beam, allowing the user to align the muzzle of the gun with the target without taking a conventional sight picture. For civilian applications, visible lasers that…

United States President Donald Trump has vowed to increase strikes on civilian infrastructure in Iran. Unless Tehran gives up and bows to US demands, Trump will initiate a ground campaign, taking the war to a whole new level. In an interview with Fox News on Tuesday, Trump commented that he would consider a ground operation “if I thought it was appropriate.” He said that while he increased the bombing campaign against Iran, other allied forces (he didn’t say which ones) could take over key strategic sites like Kharg Island. This would happen without the involvement of US troops, according to Trump. Back in early April, Trump threatened to seize the island, meaning this is not a new idea. U.S. May Seize Kharg Island On Monday “Sometimes you need a ground campaign, but we have other people who will do the ground campaign for us… But we have already hit Kharg Island twice, even three times. I said, ‘Hit everything but the oil!’” Military experts say that a seizure of Kharg Island would look like hundreds of U.S. Marines storming ashore as helicopters roved overhead. Navy warships and fighter jets would establish a complementary and overwhelming air and sea superiority, while military…
