MoreNEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! FIRST ON FOX: American taxpayers will no longer be on the hook for child sex-change hormones or surgeries, as a key Trump administration agency announced Tuesday that Medicaid will stop funding such procedures and therapies.Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz tells Fox News Digital that the decision to implement a rule pulling the funding is “consistent with [the Trump administration’s] commitment to protect children from experimental and life-altering sex-rejecting procedures that carry serious long-term health risks and lack sufficiently reliable evidence of clinical benefit.”CMS, an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), says taxpayer-funded Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) will also cease coverage of sex-change hormones and surgeries. SEN HAWLEY WARNS IT WOULD BE ‘UNCONSCIONABLE’ IF BILLIONS OF TAXPAYER FUNDS FLOW TO TRANS KIDS’ SEX CHANGESThe rule will not affect mental health treatments for gender dysmorphia and other conditions, which will continue to be covered under Medicaid and CHIP.The move comes after years of what conservatives called ‘woke’ policies that opened avenues for federal funding of therapies and procedures to allow children to physically — and oftentimes permanently — transition from their biological sex…
Lockheed Martin on Monday announced the launch of Strigo, a new line of modular missile and sensor hardware, along with a dedicated product center designed to get weapons into the field faster. The line covers radio-frequency sensors, missile datalinks and missile seeker technologies, all built on a common baseline architecture. The company said the shared architecture allows Strigo hardware to be reconfigured for different missions, including air defense, missile defense and air-to-surface strike. Lockheed calls the Strigo Product Center a storefront for “ready-now and near-ready” hardware that it said can be adapted to customer needs. The company said the modular approach also lowers life cycle costs, though it stopped short of citing dollar figures. Lockheed said it has made a $250 million internal investment in the product center to date. The center was established less than two years ago and has already carried several concepts from initial design through testing, according to the release. The company said the center can move a concept from sketch to tested solution in months rather than years, allowing it to have parts on the shelf before the military even asks for them, in some cases.Stacy Kubicek, vice president and general manager of Lockheed Martin…

Just after midnight on Monday, July 30, 1945, the first Japanese torpedo slammed into the USS Indianapolis’s starboard bow. Then another. Within 12 minutes, the heavy cruiser sank — taking hundreds of its crew with it. Only 316 men of the original 1,195 were alive, making the sinking the greatest loss of life at sea in American military history. Among those 316 sailors was Seaman Second Class Harold Bray, who today is the last living survivor of that wartime catastrophe.On June 13, Bray’s 99th birthday, the Benicia Community Foundation, in partnership with the City of Benicia, California, honored the former sailor with a final dedication of a monument that pays tribute to Bray and those who served aboard the USS Indianapolis. “What began as a vision became a community mission,” David Batchelor, chair of the Benicia Community Foundation, said in a press release. “This monument was built with heart. The city, local contractors, volunteers, veterans’ groups, donors, and supporters gave far more than labor or materials. They gave pride, patriotism, and a lasting gift to the City of Benicia.”The monument, including a life-sized bronze statue of Bray, was unveiled in 2023. The statue includes details such as the veteran’s wristwatch…

The classic American service rifle, the M14 in 7.62x51mm NATO, was the replacement for the M1 Garand, adding (among other things) a 20-round detachable box magazine and select-fire including fully automatic. It was the primary service rifle for the U.S. until Vietnam where it was replace by the smaller, lighter, and easier to handle intermediate cartridge 5.56x45mm NATO in the M16. From a solid benchrest set-up, the writer prepares to send 7.62x51mm NATO rounds through his M1A toward distant targets at the 500-yard line. In 1974, the Geneseo-based Springfield Armory released the M1A semi-automatic rifle for the civilian and law enforcement markets in the U.S. The M1A is a civilian-legal, semi-auto-only variant of the M14 rifle. It offers long-range, heavy-hitting performance. My Case I wanted a M1A as long as I could remember, and my first was the M1A Loaded 20+ years ago. I added in the Archangel stock, making it basically the same as the M1A Loaded Precision that Springfield Armory would later offer. It was exactly what I expected, and a fun factor of 10 to shoot. Now, 20 years later and owning many different fully powered .308 rifles, I wanted to just see how my old rifle…
The United States and Iran have agreed on a roadmap that will allegedly lead to peace and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The rulers have agreed on a memorandum of understanding (MoU) aimed at ending the conflict. The current war, which began on February 28th with a joint US-Israeli bombing campaign, has prompted Tehran to close the Strait of Hormuz to most shipping. In response to that economically devastating move, the US initiated its own naval blockade. Tit for tat strikes have also been ongoing, even though a ceasefire was agreed to in April. U.S. Begins Blockade of Strait of Hormuz According to a report by RT, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also told US President Donald Trump that Israel does not consider itself bound by the Lebanon-related provisions of the agreement with Iran and will not withdraw its forces from southern Lebanon, according to Ynet. That means that this agreement is incredibly fragile, and it could crumble at any moment. Nonetheless, the MoU will be signed on Friday in a special ceremony in Geneva, Switzerland. While Iran has said that the document would focus on ending the war and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which has been…

During the walkout, some students were seen holding Palestinian flags.The protest was likely against Google’s involvement in “Project Nimbus,” a $1.2 billion joint cloud contract with Amazon connected with the Israeli government. The deal was first announced in 2021 and has drawn controversy from anti-Israel activists since then.MASKED ANTI-ISRAEL STANFORD PROTESTERS CHARGED IN DESTRUCTIVE 2024 CAMPUS BUILDING TAKEOVER Fox News Digital reached out to Stanford University for comment.Despite the protest, Pichai’s speech largely avoided political issues such as international wars or artificial intelligence.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! New York City is expanding the use of small street activity sensors that count pedestrians, cyclists, buses and vehicles. The city says the goal is safer street design, better traffic planning and a clearer picture of how people actually use roads. That may sound like a very New York story. However, it is really a sign of where many U.S. cities could be headed.Across America, towns and cities are trying to solve the same problems. Drivers speed through busy corridors. Pedestrians cross where there is no crosswalk. Cyclists squeeze past parked cars. Buses get stuck in traffic. City leaders often have to make expensive safety decisions with limited data.
