MoreFather’s Day in the rearview, final full week of June upon us, and our 250th birthday on the horizon.Who has it better than us right now? Nobody! America is rolling. Our soccer team might actually be good, NFL training camps open 30 days from now, and we just enjoyed the longest day of the year.Unfortunately, that means it’s all downhill from here.

I’ve got more fallout from the U.S. Open, Gisele disses poor Tom Brady, and can we all stop boo-hooing the fans at Shinnecock for being mean to Wyndham Clark? My God. The fake outrage over fans saying not-so-nice things to a professional athlete has been mind-boggling.When did we all get so soft? Lordy.Phew. OK, let’s roll.

Battle-damaged U.S. warships could not be quickly repaired and returned to combat during a war with China, according to a new report.U.S. maintenance facilities would be overwhelmed and would lack sufficient spare parts to repair ships in theater, concluded the study by RAND, a Washington-based think tank. Nor can the U.S. Navy assume that its Pacific allies have adequate shipyard capacity — or political willingness — to fix damaged vessels.The U.S. Navy has struggled with overworked ships and crews, as well as overburdened shipyards and repair depots. But a war with China, which has the world’s largest navy, would almost certainly result in American ships being hit by everything from ballistic “carrier-killer” missiles, to hypersonic weapons and torpedoes, the study says.“The Navy has not faced damage at the level likely to occur in a major war since World War II,” warned RAND. The study recommended that command-and-control authority for repair work be streamlined, including prior agreements with allied nations regarding access to facilities. It also urged the U.S. Navy to expand its mobile repair capabilities, including “deployable repair teams, flyaway assessment units, and scalable Expeditionary Mobile Repair Facilities.”Barriers to repairsRAND’s analysis was based on a tabletop wargame conducted in August…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Chicago’s mayor has become the subject of ridicule after promoting his transgender violence state of emergency amid a deadly Juneteenth weekend where dozens of people in his city were shot and six were killed.”Since declaring a Transfemicide State of Emergency, our administration has strengthened the City’s capacity to support LGBTQ+ Chicagoans,” a Sunday X post from Mayor Brandon Johnson said. “This framework builds on that work by centering the voices and lived experiences of trans Chicagoans to chart a path toward a safer, more connected city.””Transfemicide” is defined as the “targeted killing of a transgender woman motivated by transphobic and misogynistic hatred.” Critics were quick to point out that Johnson appears focused on promoting on Juneteenth weekend the fight against an obscure transgender violence category rather than the killing of black Chicagoans. CHICAGO’S DEADLY JUNETEENTH WEEKEND LEAVES 7 DEAD AS TRUMP SHAMES DEM GOV FOR INACTIONJohnson’s office reupped the state of emergency on Sunday after it was first implemented in 2024.A report on the subject suggests that violence against transgender women, particularly black, indigenous people of color (BIPOC) transgender women, is endemic in Chicago. But the report does not mention how many transgender…
KYIV, Ukraine — U.S. President Donald Trump told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the Group of Seven summit in France that he would consider letting Ukraine build its own Patriot interceptor missiles, the first time Washington has signaled openness to a request Kyiv has made since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022.Ukraine previewed the shift weeks before Trump’s signal proved the point. Asked by Defense News earlier this month in Kyiv whether its growing web of weapons deals was changing its hand in the peace talks, Kyrylo Budanov, head of the Office of the President of Ukraine and the country’s former military intelligence chief, said Kyiv no longer comes to the table empty-handed.“Ukraine is not a leader that only asks — we are partners who are ready to offer something that will be interesting,” he said. “We will take on what is actually interesting for the USA.”For most of the war, Ukraine has relied on Western weapons transfers to hold the line. That is starting to change as the United States looks to Ukraine’s interceptor drones to fill gaps in American air defenses that have been put to the test during the Iran war.“Licenses for the production of our…
The New World screwworm has just been confirmed in two more animals in Edwards County, Texas. Could this parasite be a major issue for the meat supply? Already, it’s likely to affect prices as safety protocols are put in place. As Screwworm Spreads, USDA Partners With DHS Attempting To Control It The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) confirmed at least three infected cattle in Texas a few weeks ago. The beef industry has already been grappling with the smallest cattle herd in 75 years due to prolonged droughts. That means prices are likely to rise, but it wouldn’t be solely the fault of the screwworm. The droughts could play a role as well. Undernourished cattle do not produce nutritious meat fit for human consumption, so we may be paying more for worse-quality beef in the near future. “Because a fly’s life cycle is an average of 21 days, it takes multiple reproductive cycles for populations to die off following sterile fly releases,” the USDA said. “As such, we may continue to see cases occur in already affected zones — a sign that our surveillance is working.” In the short term, beef prices will likely remain stable, but the burden on…

MorePresident Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in separate interviews over the weekend, made it clear that the war in Iran is not over. The Trump administration formally declared Operation Epic Fury “terminated” and submitted official notification of its end to Congress on May 1. But the president cautioned that this procedural conclusion didn’t mean a definitive cessation to all military actions.“No, I didn’t say that,” Trump insisted during an interview with “Full Measure” when asked if combat operations are over. He emphasized that while Iran had been “defeated,” this did not mean that U.S. operations “are done.”Trump estimated that roughly 70% of America’s targets inside the Islamic Republic had been hit.“We could go in for two more weeks and do every single target,” he mused. “We have other targets that we could conceivably hit. But even if we didn’t do that, that would just be final touches. Even if we didn’t do that, it would take them many years to rebuild.” Speaking with reporters at the White House on Monday morning, Trump lambasted the latest Iranian proposal to end the 10-week conflict, calling it a “piece of garbage.” The president added that the month-long ceasefire was “on…
One American has officially tested “mildly positive” for Hantavirus. The United States Department of Health and Human Services claimed that it was one of the 17 Americans being repatriated from a hantavirus-struck cruise ship had tested mildly positive. Seven cases of the Andes hantavirus have now been confirmed among passengers on board the cruise ship, MV Hondius, the World Health Organization said. Symptoms of Hantavirus can include fever, extreme fatigue, muscle aches, stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and shortness of breath, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Another potentially serious disease caused by hantaviruses is hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), primarily found in Europe and Asia. However, Seoul virus, a hantavirus that causes HFRS, is found worldwide, including in the United States. Hantavirus Outbreak Kills 3 On A Cruise Ship One U.S. citizen and one French national who were on board the cruise ship at the center of a deadly hantavirus outbreak have tested positive for the virus, according to a report by Yahoo News. Dozens of passengers, including 17 American citizens, were evacuated from the MV Hondius on Sunday after it docked off the coast of Tenerife, one of Spain’s Canary Islands.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Alabama’s top law enforcement officer filed a Supreme Court challenge aimed at overturning a prior ruling that limited Republicans in decennial redistricting, after a recent Louisiana case raised questions about how the court previously ruled there.Louisiana’s “Callais” ruling struck down the state’s map, including districts centered on New Orleans and a narrow majority-minority corridor from Baton Rouge. Alabama leaders said the decision conflicts with or calls into question Supreme Court precedent affecting their state by requiring racial factors to be considered when drawing congressional districts.”Now they have a framework for Alabama to directly defend what the legislature did both in 2021 and 2023,” said Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, telling Fox News Digital he was “thrilled” to see where the court came down on “Callais” at the end of April.”And that is, drawing maps based on historical redistricting principles that now I think Callais makes clear were constitutional exercises of that authority,” Marshall said, highlighting SCOTUS’ analysis that race should not predominate when drawing congressional districts.SUPREME COURT RULES ON KEY VOTING RIGHTS ACT RULE AS REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS WAGE REDISTRICTING WAR”And then unlike Louisiana, which was able to get direct relief through…
The U.S. task force responsible for countering small, unmanned aircraft chose five military installations to partake in an upcoming anti-drone pilot program.The U.S. Army-led Joint Interagency Task Force 401, which was stood up in August 2025 and included in the fiscal 2026 National Defense Authorization Act, selected two southern border installations to join and assist the program in advanced directed energy capabilities, according to a May 6 Department of Defense release.“Countering unlawful and adversarial drone activity is a homeland defense imperative,” Brig. Gen. Matt Ross, JITF 401 director, said in the release.“There is no ‘silver bullet’ to address this challenge, and this pilot program integrates cutting-edge technology into the department’s broader counter-drone toolkit,” he continued. The chosen five installations include Fort Huachuca, Arizona, and Fort Bliss, Texas, along the U.S.-Mexico border, as well as: Naval Base Kitsap, Washington; Grand Forks Air Force Base, North Dakota; and Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri.The locations were picked to support testing and operational assessments across a variety of mission goals and environments, per the release. The statement did not specify which systems the bases will focus on.But the announcement does highlight certain counter-unmanned aircraft systems’ tools, such as high-energy lasers and high-powered microwave systems,…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Florida authorities arrested nearly two dozen individuals after yet another viral teen takeover turned chaotic over the weekend.The incident unfolded in the area of Curtis Hixon Park in Tampa on Friday night, where the rowdy group caused “significant disruptions, fights, and other issues in the park and surrounding areas,” according to the Tampa Police Department.Officers were subsequently dispatched to the scene, and the department deployed air patrols to monitor the youngsters, with body camera footage showing the chaotic moment police officers rushed onto the scene and began making arrests. “This type of reckless and criminal behavior will not be tolerated in our city,” Chief Lee Bercaw said in a statement. “What began as a large gathering quickly escalated into disorder and activity that placed others at risk.”WILD BODYCAM VIDEO SHOWS COPS STORM CHAOTIC TEEN ‘TAKEOVER’ AS BUSINESSES TRASHED: ‘THEY COME TO FIGHT’ The incident led to 22 individuals between the ages of 12 and 21 years old being taken into custody, with only four of the arrestees over the age of 18, police said.

The Air Force has quietly assembled an “AI Action Team” to help leaders think through ethical challenges, develop literacy in the force and identify new applications for the tech, the service’s senior enlisted leader said this month.Among those new uses, CMSAF David Wolfe said, was promotion board screening and ranking. Speaking at an event hosted by Military Officers Association of America May 8, Wolfe suggested that smart computing could help the service improve in what he said was a longtime area of weakness: employing the best personnel.“We don’t really do talent management in the Air Force; we do replacement management,” he said. “And that’s on us, to try to get way better at that.”The administrative and policy requirements that come alongside aligning people with jobs have become “way too long of a list,” Wolfe said.“I get why we do that, but what ends up happening quite frequently is, it might not be the right person at the right place, and we have definitely got to do better,” he said.Last December, within a week after stepping into his position as senior enlisted airman, he began to assemble the AI action team. The move, Wolfe said, was spurred by an audience question…
