NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Former Wyoming Republican Sen. Malcolm Wallop once observed, “I don’t think the only place to fight for freedom is in the halls of Congress.” The same can be said of innovation. America’s technological leadership is not secured only in research labs or startup incubators. It is also built in factories, machine shops, testing facilities and supply chains that transform bold ideas into real-world capabilities.Washington talks constantly about innovation, but too often punishes the very capital investment, permitting, workforce development, energy production and industrial expansion that make innovation possible.When people think of innovation, they often picture groundbreaking technologies or historic milestones. Recent developments like SpaceX’s record-breaking initial public offering or NASA’s continued progress on the Artemis program highlight an exciting era for aerospace. These achievements deserve recognition, but they also raise important questions about what actually drives innovation.NASA OPENS FIRST MAJOR NEW WIND TUNNEL IN MORE THAN 40 YEARS AT VIRGINIA FACILITYInnovation is only as meaningful as a company’s ability to deliver it. A revolutionary design has limited impact if it cannot be manufactured efficiently, tested rigorously, or produced at the scale customers and government partners require. That is why investments in manufacturing…

A federal court injunction has just gone into effect that could have major implications for the future of the NFA.Last year, as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the tax for certain NFA items was reduced from $200 to $0. That was already a huge win, but gun rights activism groups didn’t stop there. On August 5th, a federal court essentially ruled that aspects of the NFA are now unconstitutional.We are not lawyers, and all of this legalese gets complicated fast, but here’s a summary of what happened and what it means for gun owners as best as we currently understand the situation.Congress holds the broad power to lay and collect taxes. Because the extra burdens related to registering NFA items were only ostensibly in place to help facilitate the tax collection process, this was all ruled as being constitutional. Now that the “tax” being collected for silencers, short-barrel rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns (SBSs), and any other weapons (AOWs) is $0, some have argued that no tax is being collected at all, so therefore the peripheral actions required to obtain these items are unconstitutional.One case that argued this was Silencer Shop Foundation v. ATF, and a federal district…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Three detransitioners claim they were pressured by doctors and hospitals when they were young to pursue gender transition, including medical treatment in two cases while they were minors, according to a new HHS-commissioned report.The stories of Clementine Breen, Soren Aldaco and Luke Healy were featured in the Department of Health and Human Services’ “Wolves in White Coats: How Doctors and Hospitals Pushed and Profited from the Fraud of “Gender Medicine” report released on Thursday.

If you’re just looking at Anthony Richardson’s statistics from the first half of Thursday’s preseason opener for the Indianapolis Colts, remember this truth: Stats lie.The stats from the first half of this game when the quarterback played speak to a solid outing. He completed 11 of 14 passes. That’s good. His quarterback rating was a respectable 80.1.And Richardson led the Colts on a second-quarter TD drive.COLTS DECLINE ANTHONY RICHARDSON’S FIFTH-YEAR OPTION, SETTING FORMER NO. 4 OVERALL PICK UP FOR FREE AGENCY But those stats that suggest this was acceptable for a first game of 2026 lie. Because Richardson threw an interception on his third pass of the game. And he fumbled in the second quarter.And those turnovers are what will glow in neon when coach Shane Steichen studies the game tape on Sunday, regardless of what he might tell reporters before or afterward.So, the grand Anthony Richardson experiment that was supposed to deliver a franchise quarterback certainly by the start of his fourth NFL season isn’t going as scripted.The experiment instead caught fire Thursday evening and blew up the lab. And what does this all mean?This ain’t it.Richardson did lead a touchdown drive, completing an 18-yard pass and a 9-yard…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! CNN’s Audie Cornish called out the Patriot Games for being “overwhelmingly White” Wednesday, taking aim at the Freedom250-sponsored event President Donald Trump attended this week.”The president promised the best of the best student athletes. I‘m not sure that‘s what we got,” CNN’s Audie Cornish said Wednesday during her morning show. “A CNN analysis actually found that a specific demographic of kids got a shot to compete. Of the ones who were featured in the Freedom 250 Instagram page, many attend private Christian schools. They also appear to be overwhelmingly White, and the application for the games didn‘t specify race.”Cornish then played clips of videos also calling out the games on social media.
