MoreA new U.S. Army multi-domain task force, one of five recently established or under development by the service, was activated this week with a ceremony at Fort Carson, Colorado.The 4th Multi-Domain Task Force will focus on synchronizing long-range precision fires in the Indo-Pacific region “to deny, disrupt and disaggregate adversary capabilities” and create advantages for other units in the joint force, the Army said in a release. The task force includes four battalions and is planned to grow to 2,100 soldiers. Col. Hugh W.A. Jones assumed command of the task force during Thursday’s ceremony. He previously commanded the 2nd Stryker Brigade, 4th Infantry Division at Fort Carson, leading the brigade when it deployed to the U.S.-Mexico border last year.“While we build this formation to deter aggression and preserve peace, if war comes, we must be prepared to fight and win,” Jones said during the ceremony. “We owe those in harm’s way every advantage we can give them, while leaving our enemy nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.”Col.

A Washington high school wrestler’s Supreme Court fight could help bring restrictions on transgender athletes in girls’ sports to 23 states, an attorney representing her told OutKick.Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) senior counsel Hal Frampton said the ultimate objective is a ruling establishing that Title IX requires a protected female sports category, with consequences beyond the immediate request to protect wrestler Kallie Keeler.”And the hope would be then that that would force all 23 of those states to enact policies protecting women and girls, protecting the female category, and simply getting back to the common sense notion that women’s sports are for women,” Frampton said.WASHINGTON FAMILY REQUESTS SCOTUS INJUNCTION AFTER DAUGHTER WAS ALLEGEDLY SEXUALLY ASSAULTED BY TRANS ATHLETEKeeler, identified in court as K.M.K., and her mother, Stephanie Lynne Brown, are seeking intervention after Keeler alleged she was sexually assaulted by a transgender opponent during a girls’ wrestling match in December 2025.”Ultimately, the goal is a ruling from the Supreme Court that says that Title IX requires fairness and safety for women and girls,” Frampton said.Asked whether that broader objective could be accomplished through the current Supreme Court application or would require further steps, Frampton called it “a huge step toward accomplishing…
The Pentagon inked a five-year contract with Raytheon for the steady production of ballistic missile interceptors that use force to destroy targets, rather than explosives. The $6.3 billion contract, which provides two additional option years, will see Raytheon provide the Defense Department with a continuous supply of Standard Missile-3 Block IB interceptors manufactured primarily in Tucson, Arizona and Huntsville, Alabama. “SM-3 Block IB has proven its relevance in combat and this contract helps ensure we can replenish inventories and keep pace with the evolving threats the U.S. Navy, MDA and their partners face around the world,” Raytheon President Phil Jasper said in a statement. The SM-3 Block IB interceptor belongs to a larger family of “hit-to-kill” SM-3 missile interceptors, which seek and destroy incoming ballistic missiles using sheer speed and momentum. The Block IB type can be used by land forces and ships and is frequently deployed on vessels due to its range and highly flexible steering. The interceptor tracks flying targets with a two-color infrared seeker and propels itself towards them in short bursts, giving it accuracy at high speed as it homes in on targets. It is designed to knock short- and intermediate-range ballistic missiles out of the…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! FBI Director Kash Patel announced Friday that agents arrested another suspected co-conspirator linked to the ShinyHunters hacking group earlier this week, as the bureau investigates a cybersecurity incident involving its jobs website.The arrest is the latest in a series of FBI actions against the hacking network in recent days, according to Patel, who said investigators are pursuing additional leads and evidence.”Earlier this week, our agents in the field arrested another suspected co-conspirator of the ShinyHunters group – the group believed to be responsible for the recent FBIjobs.gov incident, which occurred on a platform managed by a third-party vendor,” Patel said in an Oct. 9 statement.FBI INVESTIGATES AFTER SHINYHUNTERS HACKERS CLAIM THEFT OF AGENTS’ PERSONAL DATA Patel said the FBI is working with its partners to dismantle the group and its associates.”This arrest demonstrates the strength and reach of our efforts to protect Americans from cybercrime.

The U.S. military plans to livestream the Dec. 3 execution by firing squad of Nidal Hasan, the former Army psychiatrist convicted of killing 13 people in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting.If carried out as planned, death penalty experts said it would mark the first known broadcast or livestream of a lawful execution.Executions are generally conducted behind prison walls, and internet platforms and governments have spent years trying to limit the circulation of violent execution footage.Has a lawful execution ever been livestreamed or broadcast to the public before? Death penalty experts consulted by Reuters said they were unaware of any previous lawful execution that had been livestreamed or broadcast to a public audience.Execution footage has occasionally emerged after the event. The hanging of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein in 2006, for example, was seen around the world after official and unofficial recordings circulated online and through broadcasters, though it was not shown live.Broadcasts and livestreams today are common for court proceedings, parliamentary debates and other state functions, but not for judicial executions.How unusual is this compared with modern execution practices around the world? Public executions have become rare worldwide, with most countries that retain the death penalty carrying out executions away…
You heard that right, pardners: Blade Show West, the rootin’ tootin’ younger brother to venerable Atlanta’s Blade Show, is upon us. While not as big as its bigger brother, Blade Show West has been growing steadily and offers not only a Who’s Who of the knife industry on the exhibition floor, but some special events running today and tomorrow. Blade Show West is just a sprat, having first run in 2018 – although in point of fact it is actually the middle child of the Blade Show family, with Blade Show Texas the youngest, first running in 2022. It has taken place in different locations over its young life, including Portland, Oregon, which is widely considered to be the knife making capital of the United States. This year it is being held in Salt Lake City, Utah, a state that is no slouch when it comes to knife making history – nor are its geographical neighbors Colorado and Idaho. Of course, Blade Show West doesn’t just draw the locals. Among the 250+ exhibitors this year are companies from all over the world, including We Knife Co. and its associated brands from China, Italy’s Fox Knives, and Three Rivers MFG, located…

MoreKYIV, Ukraine — The European Union is reviewing Kyiv’s request to spend billions of euros on PAC-3 interceptor missiles for its Patriot batteries — the first time Ukraine has formally asked to tap a €90 billion support loan approved earlier this year to buy the U.S.-made systems, European officials announced this week.“We will keep supporting Ukraine, including with European air defence and PAC-3 Patriot systems,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen wrote on X on Sept. 2, confirming the request alongside NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. “We will work closer than ever with NATO. And deter anyone who attacks our freedom and security.”The statement comes a day after Ukraine’s defense minister, Yevhenii Khmara, pressed allies for more aid. Russia is continuing a second week of launching near-nonstop aerial strikes on Kyiv, Odesa and other cities as Ukraine faces a dire antiballistics interceptor shortage. “Ukraine calls on partners to allocate national budget funds for the procurement of Ukrainian drones, expedite the provision of the EU loan, and resume discussions on the use of frozen Russian assets,” Khmara said in a statement.He said Ukraine currently faces a $27 billion defense budget deficit, but emphasized that supporting Kyiv is a “win-win” for…
One of the big stories of Week 0 was the USC Trojans.It’s not like they lost or anything; they beat San Jose State, 42-26. It was the turnout at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum that was getting a lot of attention.And by that, I mean the measly crowd at kickoff was getting roasted all over social media.USC FOOTBALL RIPPED FOR PATHETIC CROWD AT HOME OPENER: ‘ABSOLUTELY EMBARRASSING’ So all eyes were on L.A. to see whether the Trojans could draw a crowd more befitting of a blue-blood Big Ten program currently ranked No. 14 in the nation.The Trojans hosted the Fresno State Bulldogs on Friday night, a Pac-12 team that isn’t one to overlook.And sure, no one thought this was going to bring in a sellout crowd the way a big rivalry game would… but you’d think they could draw a little better than this:LINCOLN RILEY DISMISSES EMPTY SEATS CONTROVERSY AS A ‘FALSE NARRATIVE’ AFTER LOW-ATTENDANCE USC HOME OPENERNot as “ouch” as Week 0, but it’s still not pretty.Of course, as that post noted, it is a Friday before a holiday weekend in the traffic hellscape that is Los Angeles… but this is also USC football, and they look like…
The White House has reviewed candidates to potentially replace Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg, three people familiar with the discussions told Reuters, a sign that more leadership change could come for a Pentagon already facing unusually high staff turnover.The effort, which was under way in June, has included conversations with senior lawmakers in the Senate about whether the administration’s picks would have enough support to be confirmed, said two of the people, one of whom added that the review was still going on as of late August. Reuters could not determine when the White House began considering candidates. The three sources said no decision had been made to remove Feinberg from his post. They did not say why the White House was reviewing potential replacements and did not specify which candidates the White House was considering.“These so-called anonymous ‘sources’ have no idea what they are talking about,” said White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly.“President Trump appreciates the work of Secretary Hegseth, Deputy Secretary Feinberg, and the entire Department of War, whose record of success in Operation Epic Fury, Operation Absolute Resolve, and Operation Midnight Hammer speaks for itself,” she said, referring to U.S. military operations in Iran and Venezuela.

BATON ROUGE, La. – The ongoing battle between LSU and the SEC reached a tipping point Thursday when the conference filed a federal lawsuit against the school over Lane Kiffin’s potential addition of players with NFL ties.On Thursday, plaintiffs were granted a preliminary injunction by Judge William Jorden of the 19th District Court of Louisiana that allows them to be rostered by different schools for the upcoming season.Because of this ruling, all eyes were on a Friday deadline in which schools are required to submit their rosters before their official season begins.INSIDE A LOUISIANA COURTROOM: SEC-LSU LEGAL CIRCUS PLAYED OUT LIKE A JOHN GRISHAM NOVEL IN STUNNING SHOWDOWNBut, lost in the arguments around this deadline was an exemption the SEC enacted this past April that allows a team to add players to their roster if they are currently enrolled in classes as a full-time student.According to multiple sources, LSU did not add Dae’Quan Wright or Zxavian Harris to its roster on Friday, but have the option to add them at a later time. This could come at any point over the course of the season, but would most likely happen sooner rather than later, if they do at all.There was…
For the first time in four years, Venus and Serena Williams returned to the US Open court together Friday night in Queens.The legendary sisters were set to reunite earlier this summer at Wimbledon; however, Serena — who, at 44, is in the midst of a comeback after several years away from the sport — was forced to withdraw due to injury.Friday night, the two walked onto the court at Arthur Ashe Stadium to a massive ovation from the crowd.GROUP OF INFLUENCERS FORCES PAUSE DURING US OPEN MATCH WITH CRINGEWORTHY PHOTOSHOOT IN SUITESerena’s jacket listed her US Open titles, including the pair of doubles titles that she and Venus won in 1999 and 2009.Their opponents were Taiwan’s Chan Hao-ching and Australian Maya Joint, who, at 20 years old, was just a toddler when the Williams sisters won the 2009 US Open.
