A U.S. Marine Corps staff sergeant developed an app meant to combat drunk driving for fellow service members, helping him earn the 2026 James Maguire Award for exceptional achievement in Marine aviation.Last year, SSgt. Christian Smellie launched GY6Lift, a no-cost ride-hailing app designed to reduce impaired driving for service members, pushing it to app stores in October 2025.Smellie, a flight equipment technician with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 251, has served in the Corps for 11 years. Smellie told Military Times that during his time as a junior Marine in Japan, he witnessed many service members “throwing away their careers” by getting a DUI or hurting others while driving under the influence.“I care deeply for my Marines and don’t want a silly thing like a DUI make them lose the chance to do great things,” Smellie said.The app aims to remove excuses for drunk driving and create a responsible community. GY6Lift strictly uses volunteer drivers who operate their own vehicles.Currently, the app has 56 passengers and 15 drivers and can be used worldwide by service members and their spouses, Smellie said.“We believe that by making the safer choice the easier choice, we can significantly reduce alcohol-related accidents and help keep our…

The 100th Buck of the Month has arrived, a new and (as usual) very limited version of the 112 Ranger. This is a stylish and high-performance rendition of this close relative of Buck’s most famous folder. These days, the 112 Ranger’s fan base can stand comparison even with that of the almighty Folding Hunter. Maybe this is because its dimensions are more amenable to the modern EDC aficianado’s needs than its bigger brother – or maybe Buck addiction has seized the knife community and, upon acquiring their first of the company’s famous folders, enthusiasts immediately need another model to lust after, order, and eagerly await in the mail. We’ve all been there. The pocket clip is low profile and deep carry Either way, this is an admirably restrained collector’s version of the 112 Ranger, tailored for performance as much as shelf-bound perfection. The 3-inch drop point blade is made from S35VN, a proven super steel staple, here enhanced by the crucial Bos heat treat; the long pull nail mark here provides the sole method of opening the knife and a very tangible connection to the earliest iterations of this long-running 110 descendant. This 112 Ranger’s handle differs from the common…

Airlines have started raising costs and cutting routes as the fuel crisis, spurred by the Iran war, has increased costs.  The risk of last-minute cancellations and disruptions before the summer holiday season is also rising. The jet fuel squeeze is being driven by disruption in one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints. The Strait of Hormuz has strangled fuel transport globally amid the US-Israeli war on Iran, according to a report by RT. Around a fifth of global oil supply passes through the narrow route linking the Persian Gulf to world markets, making it vital to energy flows to Europe and Asia, according to the International Energy Agency. Hegseth: Hormuz Blockade Stays “As Long As It Takes” – Ships Now Fair Game For Search & Seizure The escalation of the conflict has sharply reduced tanker traffic through the strait, with shipments delayed or halted, triggering what IEA chief Fatih Birol even warned could become the worst energy crisis in history. Jet fuel is scarce by design. Only a small amount, less than 10% of oil, is refined into jet fuel. That means that the supply cannot just easily increase when the economic law of supply and demand warrants it.…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Some Harvard students have launched a petition urging the university to abandon plans to pursue grading reform, calling it “racist.” “This petition calls on Harvard to reject the proposed grading policy, arguing that it is not merely flawed but racially harmful in effect,” a petition on Change.org started by Angelina Agostini, a freshman at Harvard College, reads. “We center racism as a core concern, contending that although the policy is framed as neutral ‘differentiation,’ it functions as a system of ranking and sorting that mirrors and reinforces existing racial and socioeconomic hierarchies,” the petition reads. “Because first-generation, low-income (FGLI) students and students of color are disproportionately affected by structural inequities long before arriving on campus, the policy would compound those disadvantages rather than correct them.” HARVARD ALUM BLASTS DEI POLICIES AFTER ‘WOKE’ VALUES DRIVE LONGTIME PROFESSOR’S EXIT On March 30, Amanda Claybaugh, dean of undergraduate education, announced that Harvard College would postpone its controversial grading reform to fall 2027 and implement a new “SAT+” grade, The Harvard Crimson reported.The initial version of the reform was a “strict cap on A grades,” which “drew sharp backlash from students and cautious concern from faculty,” the student newspaper…

Recently ousted Navy Secretary John Phelan told reporters Tuesday that the service is analyzing the cost and design of two aircraft carriers it is set to procure in the coming years.Phelan, who left his position as the civilian leader of the U.S. Navy on Wednesday shortly after delivering remarks to the media at the Sea-Air-Space symposium in Washington, said the service was looking at the future Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers, the USS William J. Clinton and the USS George W. Bush, to ensure that the finances behind the them align with the Navy’s budget and overarching goals.“I think that it’s a prudent and practical thing for us to do, given the costs of them as a percentage of the budget and how we are thinking about the force design and our needs going forward,” Phelan said.The service is not only looking at how much it will take to build the future ships, but also how much it will cost to sustain and maintain them as well.The flagship Ford-class carrier USS Gerald R. Ford cost roughly $13 billion to manufacture.The Bush is slated for procurement in 2034, according to Congress, which did not list a potential price tag.The Clinton is…

It’s highly unlikely that Michael Brennan will be the only 24-year-old man to take his shirt off in public in New Orleans on Thursday, but he will be the only one to do so who has a PGA Tour victory under his belt.During the opening round of this week’s Zurich Classic, a team event on Tour played at TPC Louisiana, Brennan and teammate Johnny Keefer began on the back nine and got things rolling early, getting to 4-under through their opening six holes. LPGA’S MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIP GREENSIDE PLUNGE POOL IS PREPOSTEROUS IN EVERY WAYAfter back-to-back pars on the 16th and 17th holes, the duo arrived at the Par 5 closing hole, which is when things got messy.Brennan found the greenside pond with his second shot, but after getting eyes on his golf ball just off the bank inside the water hazard, he elected to try to play it instead of taking a drop.ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Taking such a risk is a perk when you’re playing in a team event, and with Keefer in Position A, Brennan said, why not? So, he took off his shirt and attempted to…

Ukraine has reportedly unleashed a powerful new defense against Russian Shahed drones that have tied up its air force and traumatized civilians with persistent attacks. Cheap, domestically manufactured drones have played an increasingly critical role for both sides in the four-year war following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Both countries have experienced enormous battlefield casualties, the land war has morphed into a war of attrition in which Russia’s primary tool is the Shahed, a domestically manufactured UAV based on the original Iranian model. On Sunday, the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces reported that its 412th Brigade Nemesis had intercepted a Shahed attack by launching its own Sting drone from an unmanned seaborne vehicle — the world’s first successful use of this method to intercept a Shahed.“Using surface drone carriers to deploy interceptor drones expands air defense options and creates an additional layer of protection for Ukrainian cities,” the USF wrote on X. Many such Russian attacks are directed at cities in southeastern Ukraine and launched over the Black Sea. For Russia, that serves a two-fold purpose: wear down civilians in the region, force Ukraine to make land concessions to reach a peace deal and exploit the fact that Ukraine…

Artificial intelligence has begun its onslaught against the human job market by eliminating many on Wall Street already. The AI Domino Effect: How Artificial Intelligence is Beginning to Erase Entire Job Sectors Firms like Bank of America, Citi, Wells Fargo, and others are reporting strong profits while reducing headcount and automating more work, according to a report by The New York Times [behind a paywall]. “All of them credited A.I. to some degree … in areas ranging from the so-called back office, where tens of thousands of employees fill out paperwork to comply with various laws and regulations, to the front office, where seven-figure salaried professionals put together complicated financial transactions for corporate clients,” reports the New York Times. From the report (as quoted by SlashDot): Less than four months ago, Bank of America’s chief executive, Brian T. Moynihan, volunteered in a TV interview what he would say to his 210,000 employees about the chance of artificial intelligence replacing human work. “You don’t have to worry,” he said. “It’s not a threat to their jobs.” Last week, after Bank of America reported $8.6 billion in profit for the first quarter — $1.6 billion more than the same period a year earlier…

Perhaps no NFL WAG has ever been dragged harder by the internet than Leanna Lenee.So now, Travis Hunter’s wife has some advice for the next wave of girlfriends and wives about to step into the spotlight at the 2026 NFL Draft.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON OUTKICK.COMActually, scratch that. She has a warning. Because according to Lenee, it doesn’t matter what you do on draft night. You’re going to get ripped anyway.She hopped on TikTok this week and delivered a brutally sarcastic rundown of what WAGs should — and definitely should not — do when the cameras are rolling.”Don’t get in the camera because if you get in the camera too much, you are an attention whore and you want this to revolve around you,” she said.But staying off camera isn’t the answer, either.”Also don’t avoid the cameras and sit down and try to dodge the cameras because then you don’t care about your boyfriend, or fiancé or husband.”From there, Lenee just kept stacking the contradictions.Stand up too fast? Problem. Stand up too slow? Also a problem.”Dont cry, because if you cry then you’re dramatic,” she said. “But also if you don’t cry then you don’t care about him…

KYIV, Ukraine — The Pentagon has surged tens of thousands of service members to the Middle East since the war with Iran began, raising questions here about how involved the Trump administration could get in securing a peace agreement in Ukraine when the time comes – even if it wanted to.The war has consumed American stockpiles of key weaponry, including the Patriot interceptor batteries that have become key to protecting the skies over the U.S., NATO countries, and allies like Ukraine for years.As Kyiv watches the defenses it needs get expended in a new war in the Middle East, long-term plans for a U.S. troop commitment to Ukraine — once seen as foundational to any lasting peace in the region — have become less and less likely.Since taking office, Trump administration leaders in Washington have kept their counterparts in Kyiv at arm’s length, backtracking from their original proposals to lead an eventual peacekeeping mission in Ukraine, all while telegraphing sympathy for many of Russia’s war aims. Progress in the US-brokered peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow has been virtually stalled since the Middle East heated up on Feb. 28, taking Washington’s focus away from ending Russia’s four-year full-scale invasion with…
