MoreSen. Richard Blumenthal is asking the Navy to account for conditions aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and detail the extensions to the ship’s original deployment schedule.The Connecticut Democrat, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, sent a letter on Wednesday to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao seeking information about the carrier’s long deployment and reports of problems involving basic supplies, water, plumbing, mental health, deck safety and mail.The letter comes one day after a Military Times report that detailed concerns of family members who said multiple sailors aboard the Lincoln had attempted to go overboard during the deployment, which has been indefinitely extended as the carrier supports U.S. military operations in the Middle East against Iran. The report also outlined various concerns raised by sailors and their families about conditions aboard the ship and the strain of the prolonged deployment.The Lincoln departed Naval Base San Diego on Nov. 21, 2025, for a deployment expected to last seven months, according to Blumenthal’s letter. The carrier is now sailing towards its ninth month of deployment and, according to the senator, has gone more than 200 days without a port call.Blumenthal asked the Navy to…
Next up from Jack Wolf Knives: the Eureka, a new single blade jack knife that will coming out under the Gateway series – which means entry level, but enthusiast-approved, materials, and a sub-$100 price point. Take a good look at the Eureka’s handle – does it remind you of anything? No? Well, then you must not be a dog owner, because that shape is called a dogleg, due to the joint-like bend in the middle, pointing spinewards. The history of the dogleg is a bit hazier than other, more common traditional knife patterns, further complicated by the fact that it is similar to other historical profiles, but the dogleg has been around for well over 100 years in one form or another, from manufacturers both here in the States and in the United Kingdom. The orange……it’s perfect Jack Wolf’s Eureka pairs the comfortable dogleg handle to a 2.83 spear point blade. Mostly straight until it turns up quickly to the tip, the edge geometry addresses a hefty swathe of EDC needs and will withstand day-to-day wear quite while thanks to 14C28N, which isn’t a current-gen steel in the strict sense, but one that we would consider to be a current…
Trump Holds Gold in his hand Courtesy: wvnews.com If you haven’t seen President Trump receiving gold last week, as a gift from mining executives, when announcing that the U.S. must become the mineral superpower, you missed the firing shot of the Wall Street bull market in commodities! Throughout the past 33 years, the U.S. has been engaged in systemic liquidation of its mining interests, deeming the resources it relies on, as a dirty industry, which can be outsourced. Last week, the Trump administration placed this industry at the top position in the hierarchy, literally saying that miners built the nation. Throughout my adult life, I have been told by American president that miners are greedy and irresponsible and ruin the environment – I just heard they are the true heroes of our civilization. This should make you as bullish as ever! We are witnessing the launchpad sequence for the most explosive gold breakout in monetary history, in my opinion. The price is headed to $10,000! Here are three undeniable catalysts driving this mega-rally right now. Eastern central banks are quietly cornering the physical gold market. Chief among them: the People’s Bank of China (PBOC).

The NFL preseason is generally a tough sell. Fans are excited that football is back, sure, but then the starters play a series or two, and a bunch of guys who aren’t going to make the roster finish the game.But the Cleveland Browns just gave us two reasons to pay attention to their first two preseason games.RAIDERS’ NO. 1 PICK FERNANDO MENDOZA WILL GET ‘PLENTY OF EXPERIENCE’ IN PRESEASON DEBUT THURSDAYHead coach Todd Monken informed his quarterbacks Wednesday afternoon that Deshaun Watson will start Cleveland’s preseason opener Saturday in Chicago against the Bears. Monken also plans to start Shedeur Sanders in the Browns’ second preseason game, at home against the Buffalo Bills on Aug. 22.Now we’re talking. Monken said the plan is for Watson and Sanders to play roughly a half apiece against Chicago, then flip the order the following week against Buffalo.Cleveland has spent the offseason treating its quarterback job like an actual competition, and Monken has backed that up with how he’s handled practice. Watson and Sanders have alternated days working with the first-team offense during training camp after both received opportunities with the starters during the spring.But preseason football is where that competition finally becomes something the…
The Pentagon will soon cover the cost for service members to freeze their sperm or eggs before they deploy to a danger zone or are separated from their significant others for more than six months on orders.In a notice expected in the Federal Register on Thursday, the Defense Department will launch a three-year pilot in September that will reimburse eligible troops to preserve their gametes before deployment.The benefit, required under the fiscal 2025 National Defense Authorization Act, will pay service members up to $500 per year for sperm retrieval and cryopreservation and $10,000 per year for egg preservation services.Those eligible include active-duty DoD personnel who receive orders qualifying for hazardous duty pay, those who expect to get such orders within 120 days and those geographically separated from a “spouse, domestic partner or dating partner” for 180 days or more.Military families and family planning advocates have lobbied for more than a decade to increase access to fertility services, to include cryopreservation of sperm and egg cells before combat deployments, in vitro fertilization and other advanced reproduction treatments.In 2014, the Bob Woodruff Foundation sponsored a one-of-a-kind, two-day conference on intimacy and family issues among the combat injured that highlighted the need among…

MoreAfter years of unchecked dominance from the SEC, the Big Ten Conference cemented its place as the best in college football in the 2025-2026 season.The Indiana Hoosiers completed a remarkable 16-0 season by winning a National Championship, beating Ohio State in the conference championship game, dominating Alabama in the Rose Bowl, then blowing out Oregon in the College Football Playoff semifinal.That completed a Big Ten trifecta, with the Michigan Wolverines winning a championship in 2024, then the Buckeyes following it up by beating Notre Dame to win the title in 2025. While the SEC might have better depth overall, it’s no question that the top of the Big Ten is as good or better than anyone.SEC, BIG TEN ARE DOMINATING COLLEGE FOOTBALL THANKS TO MASSIVE ADVANTAGES OVER OTHER CONFERENCES And a new program might be ready to take their turn at the top of the Big Ten: those same Oregon Ducks.One of the most predictive measures of a team’s strength from year to year is how much production they return from the previous season. It makes sense; the more key players that stay with the team, the better it is for continuity and development.The Big Ten, oddly enough, has several…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville blasted Democrats for failing to properly vet Graham Platner during a podcast on Wednesday.Democratic Party leaders and liberal commentators who once defended Platner amid previous scandals ranging from controversial rhetoric to a Nazi-associated tattoo have since denounced him over new sexual assault allegations.Maine resident Jenny Racicot accused Platner of rape in interviews with Politico and CNN on Monday, alleging the Senate hopeful entered her home uninvited while intoxicated nearly five years ago and forced himself on her. Platner has denied the allegation. Carville spoke about the election on Wednesday’s episode of “Politics War Room” as a clear case of younger Democrats failing to observe the tried and true political wisdom of the past.EXPLOSIVE SEXUAL ASSAULT ALLEGATION ROCKS PLATNER CAMPAIGN AHEAD OF KEY DEADLINE IN CRUCIAL SENATE RACE “The Platner rise was also a rise of a different attitude set,” Carville said. “It was the consultants of like 27, 28 years old, and they were not sort of straitjacketed by the old rules of politics, and it looked like they had some real success. I mean, they won. They knocked the incumbent governor — couldn’t even run — and…
Tactical knife legend Laci Szabo has contributed a new model to the 2026 TOPS lineup. It’s called the Shirodagga, and in addition to a memorable name it aims to give users a self-defense option that is bigger than a backup knife, but smaller than a full-size tactical blade. Szabo’s reputation in the knife world is built upon decades of practical, experience-informed tactical knife designs. His most famous production piece is probably the Spyderco Szabo folder, but he has also partnered with custom makers to realize a number of other designs – all focused on the tactical/fighting/self-defense corner of the market. Szabo’s work leverages unconventional blade shapes inspired by international knife traditions to create memorable, artistically coherent tools up to the standards Szabo has accrued over time in both the military and law enforcement. The spring clip provides flexibility in terms of carry style The Shirodagga is, indeed, a dagger, with a 5.5-inch, double-edged blade. The wasp-like profile, reminiscent of the Roman gladius, is deft and maneuverable like a smaller knife would be, but thanks to the heavy recurve and two live edges, it cuts like a bigger piece. According to TOPS, this was Szabo’s goal from the start, addressing a…

It’s the middle of the summer, which means there isn’t a ton of NHL news to sift through, but there is some, and in the case of the Chicago Blackhawks, it’s very bad.That’s because the team just learned that their franchise centerpiece, Connor Bedard, will be out of action for four months after getting injured while training.That means he won’t be back in the team’s lineup until November.NHL TEAM’S ROUGH OFFSEASON GETS WORSE AS FRANCHISE LEGEND LEAVES TO COACH FOR ARCH-RIVAL Bedard was training in Vancouver last week when video started making the rounds showing him falling during a drill and leaving the ice in some clear discomfort.Well, that discomfort was real, and on Wednesday the Blackhawks announced that the former first-overall pick had undergone surgery on his left shoulder and is expected to make a full recovery.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe only problem is that it will force him to miss some action early in the upcoming season.Now, the Blackhawks will be happy to have him back a month or so into the season as opposed to having him miss four months of the regular season, but that is…
U.S. Navy service members with shaving waivers who are classified as having a permanent skin condition will face administrative separation, the service announced Tuesday.Active duty and reserve sailors granted facial hair accommodations will be allowed to receive medical treatment for up to 12 months under new Navy grooming standards, but if the irritation they face from shaving is incurable, then they will be evaluated for discharge.The new guidance doesn’t apply to waivers for Navy grooming standards submitted on the basis of religious accommodations.“Mission accomplishment hinges on stringent compliance with standards and ensuring implementing policies are clear, unambiguous, and compliant with law and regulation,” a Navy administrative message said. “Grooming standards add to sailor and mission safety and ensure the safe and proper utilization of protective equipment in all naval environments and operational conditions.”The announcement follows a February Pentagon memo in which Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that troops who required medical shaving waivers for over a year would face involuntary separation.Sailors experiencing razor bumps or irritation resulting from shaving are to report it to their supervisor so that they can receive a military medical evaluation and treatment plan.Service members specifically suffering from a diagnosed skin condition like pseudofolliculitis barbae are…
This article was originally published by Willow Tohi at Natural News. The antidepressant market was valued at $6.9 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach $9.37 billion by 2030. Depression diagnosis rates surged from 3.33% to 17.8% among Americans between 1992 and 2025. Pharmaceutical industry funding creates a conflict of interest with FDA regulatory oversight. Gut-brain connection research shows that 95% of serotonin is produced in the digestive system. Nutritional deficiencies, hormone imbalances and gut health issues offer alternative treatment pathways. The diagnosis explosion: What happened and why it matters A dramatic shift in how Americans understand and experience sadness has transformed the nation’s mental health landscape over the past three decades. Between 1992 and 2025, the percentage of U.S. adults diagnosed with or treated for depression surged from 3.33% to 17.8%, according to Gallup polling data. This 250% increase has created a $6.9 billion antidepressant market projected to reach $9.37 billion by 2030, according to industry analysts. The question facing consumers, patients, and healthcare providers is whether this explosion represents a genuine epidemic or a manufactured demand. Historical context suggests the latter: before mass marketing of antidepressants began in the 1990s, clinical depression prevalence remained stable for decades…

Of course, they’re going to be preparing for the match, but they also took some time out to chill and have some fun.This included a team diving competition that the squad posted on social media.A daring choice considering you just lost a guy to injury after he tried to hop an advertising board during the post-match celebration.ZERO BS.

Pentagon leaders increasingly argue that future wars will be won by the force that can sense, decide and act faster than its enemy. Lessons from Ukraine and growing concerns about potential conflict with China have intensified the Defense Department’s focus on what officials call “information and decision advantage” — the ability to make informed decisions quicker and more accurately than an adversary.Through its Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control initiative, known as CJADC2, the Pentagon is dedicating billions of dollars in artificial intelligence, advanced battlefield networks, data integration and autonomous systems designed to accelerate commanders’ decision cycles. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said the department’s goal is to “put the best systems in the hands of warfighters” so leaders have “the systems that support what you need for maximum lethality.” Still, future battles are expected to be rife with degraded communications, disrupted networks and information overload. The war in Ukraine highlights those challenges. Military analysts studying the conflict have documented instances in which Ukrainian units have been forced to adapt after Russia‘s electronic warfare disrupted communications and drones altered battlefield visibility. Rapidly changing conditions pushed small-unit leaders to make consequential decisions with incomplete information and limited guidance. In those moments,…
