The White House budget office wants to raid a Navy radar-plane account and a classified Air Force line to pull the E-7 Wedgetail back from the dead.The maneuver surfaced in a Wednesday report accompanying the House Appropriations Committee’s fiscal 2027 defense bill, and it runs on money the White House went looking for a week earlier. In a June 17 budget amendment to House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., the Office of Management and Budget asked Congress to steer more than $1.55 billion into the Air Force’s research and development account to keep the airborne battle management jet alive — money the service had left out of its original request after the Pentagon moved to cancel the program just a year ago.Getting there required two cuts and one deposit. OMB carved about $651 million from the Navy account that buys the E-2D Hawkeye and $899 million from the Air Force’s other procurement account. It funneled the combined sum into Air Force research, development, test and evaluation. The House report pins the Air Force half on the Special Update Program, one of the service’s classified procurement lines.The justification ran identically across all three amendments: The money would “deliver two E-7 Wedgetail prototype…

Congressional votes on a controversial veterans bill that would increase benefits for medically retired disabled vets and survivors have been delayed amid push back over elections legislation that is a top priority for President Donald Trump.The Take Care of America’s Veterans bill, a Republican-backed proposal that contains 62 measures aimed at increasing benefits for veterans and survivors has stalled as the House wrestles with the president’s demands to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility, or SAVE, Act, legislation that would require voter identification and reduce mail-in ballots.The House was expected to take up the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act, H.R. 9267, this week. The legislation would greatly expand benefits for hundreds of thousands of veterans and survivors, albeit by covering the cost by reducing disability compensation for two conditions, tinnitus and sleep apnea, for future veterans.Trump canceled his signing of a popular housing bill earlier this week over the SAVE Act, and votes on all bills in the House have been halted as a result of an impasse between Congress and the president. During a press conference on H.R. 9267 Thursday, Democrats celebrated the delay after they had raised objections to the proposed method of paying for the bill.According…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trump administration in two key immigration cases on Thursday, drawing strong opposition from blue state Democrats and prompting a prominent House Republican to break ranks over concerns of a looming healthcare “crisis.”In a 6-3 decision in Mullin v. Doe, the high court ruled that Haitian and Syrian nationals with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) cannot turn to federal courts to postpone the revocation of their legal status while challenging the Trump administration’s policies. In a separate ruling, the court also held that migrants turned away at the southern border before entering the U.S. are not entitled to apply for asylum.Democrat leaders in New York and Massachusetts immediately held news conferences to denounce the Supreme Court’s decisions and pledge local resistance.SUPREME COURT HANDS TRUMP TWO MAJOR IMMIGRATION VICTORIES In New York, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced the state would push back by designating “sensitive locations” to block ICE agents and banning masks for immigration enforcers.”This is New York. We fight back. We defend our people,” Hochul said. “For those who think they can come here and just tell us that that’s going to be the different way…

Defense officials won’t be handing off the operation of commissaries to the private sector, DoD’s top personnel official said Wednesday. “We learned and found that there was nobody interested in taking a 24% haircut right out of the gate,” in order to provide the 24% saving for military customers, said Anthony Tata, under secretary of defense for personnel and readiness. Tata spoke during a Wednesday meeting on Capitol Hill of the American Logistics Association, a nonprofit trade association representing businesses supplying products and services to the military marketplace. In September, the Pentagon issued a public request for information to find out whether any entities were interested in taking over the operation of the 178 commissaries in the United States.The RFI was issued following DoD’s April 7, 2025, memorandum, directing that all functions that are not inherently governmental would be prioritized for privatization. The order specifically cited retail sales. Prices are the determining factor that drive people to the commissary, Tata said. “Families go there because they know they’re going to save 24%-plus.” That said, if commissaries aren’t providing a user-friendly benefit, people will go elsewhere, he said, and efforts are underway to use technology and other tools to help bring…

This article was originally published by Garrison Vance at Natural News.  A rescued U.S. Air Force pilot reported seeing a highly coordinated formation of Iranian drones shortly before his F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down over Iran in April, according to sources familiar with his post-rescue debriefing. The account has sparked debate within the U.S. intelligence community over whether Iran possesses more advanced drone networking capabilities than previously assessed and whether the drone formation played a role in the shootdown during Operation Epic Fury, as reported by CNN and cited in an Antiwar.com article [1]. The pilot described multiple drones moving together as a single formation, with smaller drones positioned beneath larger ones, creating what he characterized as a “jellyfish” appearance. One source familiar with the debriefing told CNN that the pilot described the airspace as a “minefield of drones” [1]. The capability described is consistent with one-to-many meshed networking, which allows multiple drones to operate as a coordinated system through a shared network. Pilot’s Account During intelligence debriefings, the pilot provided a detailed description of the drone formation he observed moments before his aircraft was hit. According to sources cited by CNN, the pilot reported that the drones were moving in a unified, choreographed pattern, with smaller drones…

Caitlin Clark was violently fouled again Wednesday night, this time when Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas appeared to drive her fist into Clark’s throat. Officials didn’t call a foul. The following day, the WNBA suspended Thomas for one game.Predictably, the usual suspects in sports media spent Thursday dismissing any suggestion that the play had anything to do with race.”Some of you dummies can’t help but make any issue no matter what about race huh? You support someone, it’s race related. You don’t support someone, it’s race related. The stupidity of a lot of you has zero bottom. It’s amazing. But then again, it isn’t. It’s 2026,” ESPN analyst Louis Riddick posted on X.WNBA SUSPENDS ALYSSA THOMAS FOR ‘RECKLESSLY’ HITTING CAITLIN CLARK IN THROAT DURING SCRAMBLEJemele Hill went further, accusing those who believed officials should have called a foul of “implying that [Clark] should receive special treatment because she’s straight and white.”She then directed the criticism at me after I argued that Clark deserved to be officiated like every other player, regardless of her race.How dare I?”Secondly, y’all the ones always hollering and crying about race being brought up too much … but surprise, surprise, that isn’t the case now,” she…

A dry winter, ravenous hunger and accessible trash have drawn bears to Fort Carson, Colorado, where officials have received 23 reported bear sightings just this year.The real number, they believe, is likely much higher. Capt. Robert Look Jr., chief of conservation law enforcement for Fort Carson, said low snowpack, a condition called seasonal hyperphagia — where an animal’s insatiable urge to eat overrides a natural fear of humans — and loose garbage have made conditions tempting for bears to head towards the Army post. “Recent mild winters and low snowpack have depleted natural food sources — berries, acorns and plants — at higher mountain elevations,” Look said. “This forces hungry bears down into lower elevations, such as Fort Carson and Colorado Springs, to search for food.”Nearby Cheyenne Mountain State Park is home to many black bears and contributes to the sightings, he said, but human behavior also makes a difference. “Unsecured garbage, pet food left outdoors and bird feeders represent highly concentrated, easy-to-access calories for a foraging bear,” Look said, adding, “a bear’s nose is nearly 100 times more sensitive than a human’s, allowing them to detect these items from miles away.”Most of the bears have been sighted in housing…

Thanks to a 3-0 beatdown of Czechia at Mexico City Stadium — a.k.a. Azteca Stadium — Mexico wrapped up group play with three wins to top Group A and move on to the knockout stage.Sure, anything less than getting out of their group would’ve been a monumental letdown for a competitive Mexican team representing a soccer-mad nation, but fans were still fired up about advancing as dominantly as they did.How excited?

KYIV, Ukraine — The Ukrainian firm behind many of the long-range drone strikes that now regularly hit Russian oil refineries hundreds of miles inside its borders is moving into missile defense, signing a major deal this month to build a low-cost ballistic missile interceptor with foreign partners — a turn that positions the company as a key provider at both ends of the deep-strike war.Fire Point makes the munitions bolstering much of Ukraine’s campaign against targets deep inside Russia, including the FP-1 deep-strike drone, the shorter-range FP-2 and the FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile.Last week, the firm announced plans to build the shield against Russian missiles, penning an agreement with German radar maker Hensoldt to produce a ballistic-missile defense system called Freyja.Fire Point-produced drones currently carry out about 60% of Ukraine’s strikes inside Russia, company co-founder and chief designer Denys Shtilerman said at Eurosatory, the biennial global weapons expo, held in France this month.“These are the drones responsible for what you see burning on your TV screens on the territory of [Russia],” he told Ukrainian National News in Paris.Those strikes are the engine of Ukraine’s “long-range sanctions” — a term coined by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for a campaign that sends long-range…
