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. But it’s a slow-drip. We still have months of PM sunshine to look forward to. Nothing to lose sleep over at the moment.Instead, we press on and keep our collective feet on the pedal. Let’s roll.Welcome to a Monday Nightcaps — the one where Lindsey Vonn takes a break from leg rehab to enjoy some R&R by the pool. It’s important, you know?What else? 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. I’m fired up today.Grab you a basket of onion rings for National Onion Ring Day, and settle in…
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…

MoreNEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The Trump administration is using the immense muscle of federal power to punish media outlets whose coverage is disparaged as overly negative.The president has long used harsh rhetorical attacks against such companies as CNN and The New York Times, as well as individual journalists, and filed a flurry of lawsuits against them. He’s even accused the press of “seditious” conduct. I suppose we’ve grown accustomed to that.But there is a whole new level of escalation that goes beyond intimidation. Trump and his allies are pushing the regulatory levers to force networks to spend enormous time and money to preserve their franchise.And the biggest target right now is ABC.TUNING OUT: WHY MANY AMERICANS ARE SICK OF THE NEWS – ESPECIALLY TRUMP NEWS FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, who along with Trump has demanded Jimmy Kimmel’s firing, has launched a review of the local station licenses connected to the Disney-owned company.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Sunday suggested Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., may have violated his oath with comments he made to a news outlet following a classified briefing.Kelly told Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation that it is “shocking how deep we have gone into these magazines” when asked if the Pentagon has updated lawmakers on the Iran war’s impact on U.S. weapons stockpiles. The senator told Brennan the Tomahawks, Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS), RIM-161 Standard Missile 3 (SM-3), Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) rounds and Patriot rounds used to defend the U.S. have been hit hard, adding that it will take years to replenish those stockpiles, which could affect a hypothetical U.S. conflict with China.In response, Hegseth questioned whether Kelly, a former Navy pilot, may have violated his oath and said the Pentagon’s legal counsel will review his comments.FEDERAL JUDGE BLOCKS PENTAGON FROM DEMOTING MARK KELLY OVER CONTROVERSIAL MILITARY VIDEO “‘Captain’ Mark Kelly strikes again,” Hegseth wrote on X.”Now he’s blabbing on TV (falsely & dumbly) about a *CLASSIFIED* Pentagon briefing he received,” he continued. “Did he violate his oath… again? @DeptofWar legal counsel will review.”The senator clapped back,…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The Indiana Pacers’ risky move backfired after the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery saw them lose their top pick altogether in a disastrous turn of events on Sunday afternoon.Heading into the lottery, the Pacers, who went 19-63 just one season after reaching the NBA Finals out of the Eastern Conference, had a 52.1% chance of having a top-four pick.However, when they didn’t see their team chosen in the first four picks – Indiana also had a 14% chance of getting the No. 1 overall pick – it was time to panic. The reason? The Pacers included their first-round pick in a trade with the Los Angeles Clippers for Ivica Zubac, but they only made it a top-four protected pick. That means, if the Pacers were chosen in the lottery as a top-four selection, they would be able to keep it.But the Pacers were chosen as the No. 5 pick, and the Clippers now own the selection in next month’s draft.NBA LOTTERY CHAOS: WASHINGTON WIZARDS STRIKE GOLD, PACERS PAY FOR TANKING GAMBLE NIGHTMAREAs a result, Pacers team president of basketball operations Kevin Pritchard took full responsibility for the move, apologizing on social media.”I’m really…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed on “60 Minutes” Sunday that the dramatic shift in public opinion on his country could be traced to the rise in social media.”Israel has gone to unbelievable lengths to get innocent civilians out of harm’s way,” Netanyahu said. “We text message millions of text messages to them—make millions of phone calls to them, pamphlets, leaflets, you name it, OK? We have seen the deterioration of the support for Israel in the United States almost — I would say, it correlates almost 100% with the geometric rise of social media.”He continued, “And that by itself is not what caused it. And I don’t believe in, you know, in censoring them or anything. But I’ll tell you what happened. We have several countries that basically manipulated social media. And they do it in a clever way. And that’s something that has hurt us badly.”IRAN-LINKED INFLUENCE CAMPAIGN PUSHES ANTI-ISRAEL MESSAGING DISGUISED AS US VOICES Netanyahu acknowledged that Israel has made “mistakes” in its war against Hamas but emphasized that they were not deliberate actions.”Israel is besieged on the media front, on the propaganda front, and we’ve not done well…

A massive ruby unearthed in Burma is being hailed as the second-largest ever discovered in the conflict-ridden country.The ruby weighs about 11,000 carats — about 4.8 pounds — and was unearthed near Mogok in the Mandalay region, the center of Burma’s gem industry and an area affected by ongoing conflict, according to The Associated Press, citing state media. The stone was found in mid-April, shortly after the country’s traditional New Year celebrations.MAN STUMBLES ONTO RARE DIAMOND TREASURE DURING ARKANSAS PARK TRIP WITH FAMILY: ‘KNEW IT WAS DIFFERENT’ Although it is roughly half the size of a 21,450-carat ruby discovered in 1996, experts say the new find could be more valuable because of its higher quality, the outlet reported.It has a purplish-red color with slight yellow tones, moderate transparency and a highly reflective surface.Burmese President Min Aung Hlaing and his cabinet have already inspected the stone in the country’s capital of Naypyidaw.ONCE-IN-A-CENTURY TREASURES DATING BACK 4,500 YEARS UNEARTHED IN LEGENDARY CITY Burma produces up to 90% of the world’s rubies, mostly from Mogok and nearby Mong Hsu.

The Houston Astros have been one of Major League Baseball’s most consistent franchises in the modern era. Over the last decade, the Astros have the second-most wins and second-highest winning percentage of any organization at 890-627. They’ve won two World Series titles, one in 2022 and the other in 2017. Though that 2017 championship is marred by one of the most egregious cheating scandals in baseball history. They’ve made the World Series four times since 2017, won the AL West seven out of eight years, and made the postseason eight years in a row. That streak ended in 2025, when a slew of injuries led to an 87-75 season. 2026 was supposed to be a return to form, led by ace Hunter Brown, new import Tatsuya Imai, closer Josh Hader, one of the best handful of hitters in baseball, Yordan Alvarez, and hope for a resurgent season back in Houston for Carlos Correa. Fast forward to mid-May, and the Astros are, well, bad. After yet another loss on Sunday, they’ve dropped to 16-25, sit tied for last place in the division, and have the second-worst run differential in the American League.ASTROS’ $54M PITCHER BLAMES ARM FATIGUE ON STRUGGLE TO ADJUST TO AMERICAN LIFESTYLE That’s…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Sean Strickland left everything in the octagon at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on Saturday night, upsetting Khamzat Chimaev to be named UFC middleweight champion once again for his career.Chimaev, who had never lost a UFC fight in his 16-bout career, was a convincing favorite heading into this co-main event for UFC 328, but Strickland was named victor by split decision after five hard-fought rounds, where he revealed he wasn’t even at full health.After having the belt put around his waist by Chimaev, Strickland said that he injured his shoulder sparring earlier in the week. “Funny story – on Tuesday, I’m sparring Johnny [Eblen], that motherf—–, PFL champ. I’m at Plinio Cruz’s gym.

If you’ve been to a grocery store lately, you may have noticed that prices are rising faster again. The war with Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is causing the biggest energy crisis in history, which will affect the price of everything. Food prices are going to rise particularly fast due to the lack of fertilizer being exported from the gulf. Currently, farmers are using less fertilizer than usual, and that will affect the price of food significantly come harvest season. So what do we do? First of all, don’t panic-buy. Instead, what you want to do is buy strategically. Stocking up ahead of price hikes means you lock in today’s prices before they climb even higher. It’s the same logic as filling your gas tank before a hurricane hits. The people who wait until shelves are thinning out end up paying a premium or going without. Fortunately, building a solid food supply doesn’t require a bunker or a massive budget. It just requires a plan. Recently, I came across a great guide from Morgan over at the YouTube channel, Rogue Preparedness. She explains how any household can get ahead of food scarcity and inflation in six…
