The U.S. Navy released its fiscal 2027 shipbuilding plan Monday, laying out the possibility of the service turning to allied nations to build its vessels.The confirmation of potential outsourcing comes after President Donald Trump reportedly rejected previous Navy Secretary John Phelan’s suggestion to build Trump-class battleships abroad to meet the president’s desired delivery of 2028.“Building and maintaining ships in America is central to the president’s vision and strengthens the nation’s industrial base,” the budget document said. “While American shipbuilding remains the priority, the Navy will evaluate overseas options and whether allied and partner shipbuilding can supplement domestic production if U.S. industry cannot meet required timelines.”Phelan told reporters at the Navy League’s annual Sea-Air-Space symposium in April that the Navy was going to study the possibility of building warships outside the U.S.He cited labor shortages in the U.S. as a catalyst for the potential move.He was fired one day later, with the Trump administration citing a needed change in leadership.But over the coming days, reports surfaced that a brewing fissure between Trump and Phelan came to a head after Trump bristled at Phelan’s idea to build Navy battleships abroad, a sentiment that flew in the face of Trump’s previous promise to…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A small Pennsylvania liberal arts college is scrubbing a professor’s name from a campus building after revelations he excavated a Native American burial site and promoted racial hierarchies.Swarthmore College, located outside Philadelphia, has already removed Spencer Trotter’s name from the building formerly known as Trotter Hall, now temporarily labeled “Old Science Hall,” as it works toward a permanent replacement. The college also removed Trotter’s name from the adjacent lawn.The push to remove Trotter’s name follows a more than two-year investigation by the college, according to the school’s student newspaper, The Phoenix. The review followed a 2022 report that highlighted the excavation of a Lenape burial site whose ownership was later returned to Native American hands, the outlet reported.According to The Phoenix, a faculty-chaired task force that includes students, faculty and staff has since spent months reviewing records, surveying the campus community and narrowing potential names, with a final recommendation due to the college president by May 1, 2026, before being sent for Board of Managers approval.CALIFORNIA TO REMOVE RACIST TERM FOR NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN FROM MORE THAN 30 PLACES The building has carried Trotter’s name since 1937, but a college review, detailed…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The U.S. ​State Department ‌announced on Monday that it refused to back an ​International Migration Review Forum “progress” declaration, ​accusing the U.N. of efforts to “advocate and facilitate replacement immigration in the United States and across the broader West.”The U.S. did not participate in the second International Migration Review Forum, held May 5–8 at U.N. Headquarters in New York, and will not support the declaration, the department said in a statement on Monday.The forum is the U.N.’s main global platform for member states to review implementation of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, according to the U.N.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Christian college presidents are sounding the alarm about new federal regulations they say would cripple Christian higher education and effectively penalize students pursuing religious vocations.The Department of Education’s proposal, known as the Student Tuition and Transparency System (STATS), introduces an earnings premium test to determine federal loan eligibility for college programs. The rule — an implementation of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act enacted last year — is designed to protect students from low-earning degrees.Under the new metric, an undergraduate program “fails” if its graduates do not earn more than the median income of a high school graduate aged 25 to 34. For graduate programs, the benchmark is the median earnings of similarly aged adults holding only a bachelor’s degree.The Education Department plans to use IRS and U.S. Census data to evaluate these earnings four years after a student completes their degree. FAITH UNDER FIRE: HOW TRUMP’S ‘BEAUTIFUL BILL’ TARGETS CHRISTIAN EDUCATION”Programs that routinely fail to provide students with a reliable return on investment would lose access to federal student loans, and in certain cases, Pell Grants,” the Education Department said in an April 17 press release. Schools would have to disclose…

This article was originally published by Garrison Vance at Natural News.  Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told Iraqi Prime Minister-designate Ali al-Zaidi during a telephone call on Tuesday, May 5, that Tehran is prepared to meet global standards to demonstrate the peaceful nature of its nuclear program, according to a statement from Iran’s presidency published by the Turkish Anadolu Agency. Pezeshkian criticized what he called contradictory U.S. policies, saying Washington continues to apply pressure while calling for negotiations. [1] Al-Zaidi responded that Baghdad is prepared to support de-escalation efforts and could host talks between Iran and the U.S., the statement said. The appeal for international verification of its nuclear activities comes as Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has insisted that nuclear issues be left out of talks related to ending the ongoing war with the United States. [2] Background: Nuclear Deal Collapse and Inspectors’ Removal The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was unilaterally abandoned by the first Trump administration in 2018, leading to the reimposition of U.S. sanctions. In response, Iran removed International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors and shut down surveillance cameras at its nuclear facilities, accusing the United Nations watchdog of politicizing its inspections. [3] [4] Book author Scott Ritter, in his work…

One of the biggest stories of the 2025-2026 college football offseason was the collapse of the historic USC Trojans-Notre Dame Fighting Irish rivalry. Long hailed as the “Greatest Intersectional Rivalry in College Football,” the game paired two of the sport’s most storied teams. Played every season since 1926, outside World War II and the COVID lockdown years, both fanbases loved the annual tradition and opportunity to travel to historic stadiums in LA and South Bend.Which is why the reaction to news that the series was ending, even if temporarily, was overwhelmingly one of frustration and disappointment. From both sides. Who to blame for the end of the series mostly depends on allegiance. Much of the disagreement between the two sides came down to timing. USC fans point to comments made by Irish head coach Marcus Freeman in 2025 about the rivalry and his commitment to it.USC COACH LINCOLN RILEY MAKES BOLD CLAIM, SAYS USC IS READY TO WIN ‘CHAMPIONSHIPS'”It’s pretty black and white for me,” Freeman said at the time. “You want my opinion? I want to play them every single year. When? I don’t care. I don’t care when we play them. Start of the season, middle of the season, end…

United States, Philippine, Japanese and Canadian forces combined land, sea and air platforms to sink two decommissioned ships off the western Northern Luzon coast during Balikatan 2026 last week, according to a Defense Department release.Exercise Balikatan, which wrapped up Friday, is the largest annual military exercise between the United States and the Philippines and is designed to improve combined readiness and maritime defense capabilities, while showcasing the countries’ commitment to a “free and open” Indo-Pacific.The Joint Task Force Maritime Strike, or MARSTRIKE, is a two-day critical live-fire event of the Philippines exercise that took place on Wednesday and Thursday.The drill brought together sensors, missile systems, aircraft and naval assets from the four countries to coordinate long-range fires against maritime targets. “The MARSTRIKE demonstrated the strength of our combined and joint force by integrating sensors and shooters across multiple domains to achieve a shared tactical objective,” U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Thomas Savage, commanding general of the U.S. joint task force-forward, said in the release.On the first day of the exercise, forces sank the decommissioned Philippine Navy vessel BRP Quezon with a Japan Ground Self-Defense Force Type-88 surface-to-ship missile, while the U.S. Army used High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems to conduct…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., argued in an interview published Sunday that Democrats need to ditch the jargon and communicate with young men who have fled their party in recent years.As 2028 draws closer, Democrats are still trying to understand why so many voters, particularly young men of many racial backgrounds, voted for President Donald Trump in the 2024 election.”Pod Save America” host and former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau noted in the interview that, “One surprising trend in the Trump era is that, according to election results, racial polarization has declined over the last decade largely because a small but not insignificant share of Black men, especially younger Black men, have stopped voting for Democrats.”He noted further that some are directly voting for Trump, to the point that his support among Black voters has doubled between 2020 and 2024, and that, therefore, “Clearly, some of these young men are hearing something from Trump and the right that they are not hearing from us.”JAMES CARVILLE CALLS ON DEMOCRATS TO ‘TONE IT DOWN’ WITH ‘IDIOTIC NPR JARGON’ “It’s a great question,” Warnock said, nonetheless warning this issue should not be addressed at the expense of…
