NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Matthew Rhys is sounding off on the public behavior driving him “bananas.””The Americans” star isn’t hiding his irritation with one modern habit that’s seemingly pushed him over the edge — people blasting videos, music and FaceTime calls in public like everyone else signed up for the experience.”Do you have any pet peeves?” Rhys was asked in a Wall Street Journal interview.”What is driving me bananas these days are people who watch things on their phones without headphones,” Rhys said. “I’m turning into my dad, but I feel like I have to start saying to people, ‘Excuse me, do you have headphones?’ Because if we’re not schooling people, it’s going to become more rampant than it already is, and it is out of control.”‘ENTOURAGE’ STAR JEREMY PIVEN SAYS PEOPLE ARE TOO EASILY TRIGGERED AND NEED TO HEAR EACH OTHER OUT The actor’s solution to modern overstimulation is about as unplugged as it gets.”What do you do to relax?” he was asked.”If it’s not on the water—if it’s not a kayak or sail or something like that—then horses are big for me,” Rhys explained. “You just get to be quiet and in nature.

A waterway sign that reads “Open. Closed. Open.” A helicopter bearing the name “Kid Rock Force One.” Oil barrels that collectively spell out “LUBE.”Such are the art features wrapping three recently installed arcade games — also available to play online — at the District of Columbia War Memorial in the nation’s capital, the latest protest by the anonymous group Secret Handshake, which previously made headlines in September after installing a statue on the National Mall depicting President Donald Trump holding hands and skipping with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The new installation’s game, officially called “Operation Epic Furious: Strait To Hell,” was developed as a response to the administration’s repeated use of video game footage to highlight military successes in Iran, the group told WUSA9. One such post featured video from strikes in Iran interspersed with game footage from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The post, shared on March 6 by the White House’s official account, came just five days after six U.S. soldiers were killed by an Iranian drone strike at Kuwait’s Port of Shuaiba. Similar posts include one featuring airstrikes alongside footage from Nintendo Wii, and another depicting a bowling alley-style “STRIKE” animation alongside war footage. “The game…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Marty Makary is resigning from his position Tuesday, a White House official told Fox News Digital. The official said that Makary’s resignation has to do with “process at the FDA” and not a specific issue, and said there is “no bad blood” between President Donald Trump and the outgoing commissioner. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pushed for Makary’s resignation, according to the White House official. Kyle Diamantis, FDA deputy commissioner for Food, will serve as acting commissioner, Fox News Digital learned. TRUMP PICKS DR. MARTY MAKARY AS FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION COMMISSIONER Makary’s resignation followed mounting pressure from pro-life advocates and administration critics who had grown frustrated with his handling of several high-profile FDA decisions and claims he has slow-rolled MAHA initiatives, according to media reports in recent weeks.The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that the president had reportedly already signed off on a plan to fire Makary, citing three familiar sources who cited Makary’s handling of abortion and drug policy. “I’ve been reading about it, but I know nothing about it,” Trump said the same day after he was asked by reporters if Makary…

Back in 2022, on our way to an Airbnb we rented for the weekend, my husband and I drove past Lookout Mountain Flight Park. A small, unassuming building stood next to a concrete launch ramp — where three hang gliders were lined up on the edge of a steep, towering cliff.”Would you ever…?”He didn’t even have to finish his question. “Absolutely not,” I said. “Not in a million years.”CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE FROM OUTKICK And by a million years, I guess I actually meant four. Because last weekend, we pulled up to that same flight park. Except this time, I had a reservation for a tandem flight.I went into this experience completely blind. What even is hang gliding? Is there a way to steer? Does this thing have a motor or do you just sort of get a running start and hurl yourself off the mountain? A mystery to me.Along with a group of seven other people, I was directed to a back room, where we were promptly handed clipboards with paperwork to sign. Waivers to acknowledge that — although safety is the No. 1 priority for Lookout Mountain Flight Park — gliding 1,500 feet above the ground in…

The United States has spent an estimated $29 billion in the war against Iran, the Pentagon said Tuesday, as senior defense officials appeared on Capitol Hill for back-to-back budget hearings.Jules Hurst III, the Defense Department’s acting comptroller, said the increase from $25 billion just two weeks ago reflects “updated repair and replacement of equipment costs,” along with the “general operational costs” of sustaining forces in the theater.Hurst emphasized that the projection does not include expenditures for repairing damaged military installations in the region.“We have a lot of unknowns there,” he said. “We don’t know what our future posture is going to be. We don’t know how we construct those bases, and we don’t know what part our allies or partners could pay into our MILCON costs.” The tenuous month-long ceasefire in the Middle East hangs in the balance after President Donald Trump on Monday dismissed Tehran’s latest proposal to end the war as “garbage.” Hours later, the Speaker of Iran’s parliament warned that the country stands ready to “deliver a lesson-teaching response” to any act of aggression. Despite a declared truce, the two sides have continued to exchange limited fire near the Strait of Hormuz. The Islamic Republic launched missiles,…

United States ruler Donald Trump said that the ceasefire with Iran is “on life support.” The comments were made after Iran rejected the US’s latest counterproposal. Trump said that Iran’s proposal was “totally unacceptable” when presented with it a few days ago. He added that the state of the month-old truce is “unbelievably weak,” while speaking with reporters in the Oval Office. Trump: Iran’s Peace Plan Is “Totally Unacceptable” “I would call it the weakest, right now, after reading that piece of garbage they sent us — I didn’t even finish reading it,” Trump said. “I would say the ceasefire is on massive life support, where the doctor walks in and says, ‘Sir, your loved one has approximately a 1% chance of living,’” he said, according to a report by CNBC.  Multiple attacks have been reported during the ceasefire, many taking place in the Strait of Hormuz. Israel has also continued to attack Lebanon. Iran Fires On Ships In Strait Of Hormuz After Trump Announced Ceasefire Extension Just last week, Iran attacked the United Arab Emirates, and the U.S. and Iran traded fire in the Strait. The Pentagon said it struck two Iran-flagged oil tankers. The ceasefire officially began on April 8th,…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! EXCLUSIVE: As the liberal activist organization Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) faces federal fraud charges, an education watchdog warns that the group continues to integrate its “far-left content and materials” into classrooms as early as kindergarten in more than 40 states across the U.S.Nicole Neily, president of Defending Education, which was once labeled an “extremist” group by SPLC, told Fox News Digital that “unbeknownst to parents, the Southern Poverty Law Center has been poisoning pupils’ minds around the country for years with its toxic curriculum.”Defending Education published a new exposé detailing how an SPLC education program called “Learning for Justice” (formerly “Teaching Tolerance”) has been integrated into K-12 lesson plans and materials in 169 school districts in 42 states, plus Washington, D.C. According to the watchdog, the program reinforces “far-left cultural and political ideologies,” including “anti-racism, Black Lives Matter, gender ideology and queer theory, white privilege, white supremacy, whiteness, and transgenderism.”Neily said that due to SPLC’s integration in schools, “issues such as queer theory, white privilege, and anti-racism have supplanted traditional coursework in history, social studies, and other core classes,” which she said is “teaching children to view themselves and others through…

You might be wondering why Springfield Armory chose to equip the latest generation of SAINT Victor AR-15 rifles and pistols with Radian Raptor-LT charging handles. While it won’t help you to shoot tiny groups, it excels is all that necessary procedural stuff that’s done to ready the rifle to fire (or ensure it keeps running). As seen here, the Radian Raptor-LT charging handle is installed and ready to go on this Springfield Armory SAINT Victor 5.56mm. The Raptor-LT is smooth to operate, making loading faster, and when it happens — and we all know it can if you run across some bad ammo — the charging handle will literally get you out of a jam. What Does a Charging Handle Do? There are three things a charging handle allows you to do: chamber a cartridge, perform a press check and clear malfunctions. An AR-15 charging handle’s job is to manually operate the bolt carrier group (BCG) so it can cock the hammer, strip a round out of the magazine and drive a cartridge in the chamber. A charging handle’s basic function is to ready the rifle to fire. Mil-spec charging handles are small and have rounded handles. While they are…
