MANILA, Philippines — A senior Pentagon official pushed back against reports that the U.S. military’s stockpiles and capabilities are strained following Operation Epic Fury, while reaffirming Washington’s commitment to the Indo-Pacific amid China’s increasingly assertive military activity in the South China Sea.Department of War Undersecretary for Policy Elbridge Colby made the remarks in Manila on Monday amid growing concerns that China has been narrowing the gap — or eclipsing — U.S. military capabilities, as its demands in the Middle East have potentially drained stockpiles.“There’s been a lot of news about the United States military being stretched. Please don’t be misinformed,” Colby told Manila’s defense and security elites at a closed-door event organized by the Stratbase Institute think tank.“The United States military, and especially including those [maritime and aerospace] capabilities, are ready and capable of filling the priority missions that the president has given to them,” Colby said.Colby, one of the Pentagon’s leading strategists, has pushed to prioritize the Indo-Pacific and East Asia over the Middle East and Europe. The Manila stop is the first in a week-long Southeast Asian tour that includes visits to Indonesia, Thailand and Cambodia. His visit also comes amid an increasingly tense period between Manila and…

MoreNEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! All detainees at “Alligator Alcatraz,” a migrant detention center in the Florida Everglades, have been transferred to other facilities, according to the Department of Homeland Security, citing concerns about the hurricane season.The agency said that all detainees at the facility had been transferred, although it did not specify how many were taken. Some of these detainees will be transferred to “Deportation Depot,” another ICE facility in Sanderson, Florida, set up in the northern part of the state.DHS also did not address if the migrants would stay at the new facilities long term or if the transfers were only temporary.”As we enter into hurricane season, ICE and the state of Florida have moved illegal aliens from the soft-sided facility.

We’re not halfway through the 2026 Major League Baseball season, and already, the San Francisco Giants are ready to throw in the towel.The Giants, even after a win over the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday afternoon, are just 30-43. They’re a whopping 17 games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers. Incredibly, even with the addition of a third wild-card spot, they’re eight games back of the San Diego Padres and Washington Nationals, who currently sit in that position.Even worse, they’d have to pass the Cubs, Diamondbacks, Pirates, Marlins, Reds and Mets just to reach that third wild-card spot. Put differently, only the lowly Colorado Rockies have a worse record than the Giants in the National League.So it’s not surprising, then, that several new reports have said that San Francisco’s front office is essentially open for business ahead of the league’s trade deadline. MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand, ESPN’s Buster Olney and The Athletic have all said, to varying degrees, that the Giants are ready to sell.ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD.

Finland’s parliament on Wednesday voted to lift a decades-old ban on nuclear weapons, approving a major defense policy shift aimed at aligning the country more closely with North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) deterrence strategy.Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen said a strong majority backed the amendment to the Nuclear Energy Act, calling it a “historic reform” that strengthens Finland’s security and that of the alliance.”The Parliament approved the amendment to the Nuclear Energy Act with a strong 2/3 majority,” Häkkänen said in a post on X. “This historic reform strengthens the security of Finland and of NATO as a whole.In April 2023, Finland joined NATO in response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, ending decades of military non-alignment.

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. When we were told that the ceasefire extension with Iran would include “the toll-free opening of the Strait of Hormuz”, I didn’t realize that this was only for a period of 60 days. As you will see below, once the 60 days are over, the Iranians will be allowed to charge vessels for passing through the Strait of Hormuz on a permanent basis. Any vessels that attempt to pass through the Strait without permission will be subject to attack by the Iranian military. In other words, the nightmare scenario that we have been enduring for the past several months will be institutionalized. I am shocked that U.S. negotiators would actually agree to this. With the Iranians in control, I seriously doubt that the flow of oil and natural gas out of the region will return to pre-war levels any time soon, and any oil and natural gas that does get exported will cost quite a bit more thanks to the protection racket that the Iranians will be running. This is so humiliating. The one thing that U.S. negotiators were supposed to get from this first stage of negotiations…

Congress is seeking to limit the authority of the Navy Secretary when it comes to changing the names of U.S. Navy vessels.The Senate Armed Services Committee’s markup of the Fiscal Year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act includes a section that the notes that the service secretary, a position currently held by Hung Cao, may only change the name of a vessel with the consent of the Senate.Since March 3, 1819, the responsibility of assigning names to the Navy’s ships has lied solely with the Navy secretary. The 1819 act, according to the U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command, states that “all of the ships, of the Navy of the United States, now building, or hereafter to be built, shall be named by the Secretary of the Navy, under the direction of the President of the United States, according to the following rule, to wit: those of the first class shall be called after the States of this Union; those of the second class after the rivers; and those of the third class after the principal cities and towns; taking care that no two vessels of the navy shall bear the same name.” The Senate committee seeks to add a provision…
