NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Former daytime talk show host Maury Povich laughed at former MSNBC host Joy Reid’s suggestion Monday that Senate Democrats “play by the rules” and don’t “play politics” like Republicans.On the “On Par with Maury Povich” podcast, Povich remarked that if the Democratic Party were to regain control of the Senate after the 2026 midterm elections, they would effectively stop any chance of President Donald Trump appointing another Supreme Court justice, similar to how Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., held up then-President Barack Obama from appointing a replacement after Justice Antonin Scalia’s death in 2016.Reid argued otherwise, insisting Democratic politicians were different from Republicans.DEMOCRATS TAKING THE SENATE? SERIOUSLY? DESPITE TRUMP’S SINKING POLLS, IT’S PROBABLY A MEDIA FANTASY “Democrats do not play politics the way Republicans do,” Reid said.”Oh come on, Joy, please,” Povich interrupted, snickering at the comment.”They do not. They do not. Democrats play by the Marquess de Queensberry rules. They’re not rule breakers,” Reid argued.”You’re trying to tell me if the Democrats take the Senate in 2027 and [Justice Samuel] Alito retires and Trump names a Supreme Court justice, that Democrats are going to have hearings and actually confirm him or her?”…

The U.S. Navy’s top civilian said Tuesday that the service would look into the concept of utilizing foreign partners to manufacture the nation’s warships as it seeks to address its growing shipbuilding needs.Navy Secretary John Phelan told reporters at a media roundtable at Sea-Air-Space 2026 in Washington that the Navy was facing a labor capacity problem at home and needed help remediating it.“Everything’s on the table,” Phelan said. “We just need to look at it, understand it, understand the implications behind it and decide if we think that makes sense or not.”The secretary cited previous successful maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) work with Korea and Japan as examples of how allies could alleviate pressure on the U.S. shipbuilding workforce.South Korean shipbuilding companies HD Hyundai Heavy Industries and Hanwha Ocean have already won three MRO contracts from the U.S. Navy in 2026, according to The Chosun Daily, a South Korean publication.The majority of South Korean MRO contracts are for U.S. Navy ships based in the U.S. Navy’s 7th Fleet, headquartered in Japan.Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Daryl Caudle met with South Korean shipbuilders in November 2025 during his first international trip as CNO, learning about shipbuilding practices that could help reinvigorate…

A while back I wrote a post about cooking without power which was really just a list of ways to heat up food–dutch oven, fireplace, grill, etc. But what if your food needs more than just heating? What if the power is out and you want to use the blender, the mixer, the toaster, the waffle maker, the coffee pot, or one of the many other kitchen appliances we tend to take for granted? Fortunately, there are many non-electric alternatives. I suggest you start replacing your kitchen appliances with non-power versions and learn to use them. This way, if the power goes out it won’t be as big of an inconvenience. Here are 15 kitchen gadgets that don’t need power. Want to save this post for later? Click Here to Pin It On Pinterest! 1. Butter Churn If you’re raising livestock or have access to fresh cream, there’s no reason to go without butter just because the power is out. A traditional dash churn is simple to use: pour in your heavy cream, let it come to room temperature, and churn for 20-30 minutes until the fat separates and you’re left with fresh butter and buttermilk. 2.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Eli Manning retired in 2019 and missed out in his first year of Hall of Fame eligibility in 2025. He was passed over again earlier this year but still fired back at a fan who claimed one of his contemporaries was the better quarterback.On Tuesday, a social media user floated a theory about former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan. Ryan, who now oversees football operations as the team’s president, last played in an NFL game in 2022. He announced his retirement in 2024, making him eligible for Hall of Fame consideration beginning in 2028.”Matt Ryan was a better QB than Eli Manning… people just worship rings.

He was named NFL MVP in 2016, an honor Manning never earned. Ryan is also the most accomplished player in Falcons history…

U.S. Southern Command is standing up a new element aimed at connecting tactical missions to long-term outcomes with unmanned systems, the command announced Tuesday. The development of the Autonomous Warfare Command was mandated by SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan in an effort to further support the Trump administration’s national security objectives and SOUTHCOM’s operational dominance, per the statement.Once fully operational, the new command will be tasked with engaging autonomous, semi-autonomous and unmanned platforms to “counter threats across domains.” The announcement did not specify when SAWC will reach operational status. “From the seafloor to space and across the cyber domain, we fully intend to leverage the clear superiority of the American defense ecosystem by deploying cutting-edge innovation and working ever closer with our enduring partners in the region to outmatch those who threaten our collective peace and security,” Donovan said in the release.The announcement stated that SAWC will work toward shared purposes with allies and partners in the region, such as missions focused on “degrading” narcoterrorist and cartel networks and responding to national disasters.SOUTHCOM’s area of responsibility includes the Caribbean, South America and Central America.“Our geographic area of responsibility has a wide range of conditions, varied terrain and diverse operational…

This article was originally published by Willow Tohi at Natural News.  Israel’s UN ambassador publicly accused France, China, and Pakistan of making secret payments to Iran for safe passage through the blockaded Strait of Hormuz. The accusations stem from reports that commercial vessels from these nations transited the strait despite Iran’s broader shipping restrictions. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global chokepoint, handling approximately 20% of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas. Iran has selectively allowed passage for some nations’ ships while maintaining a blockade against others, deepening geopolitical fractures. The confrontation at the UN highlights the escalating crisis over control of the vital waterway and the potential for broader conflict. In a dramatic escalation of rhetoric at the United Nations, Israel’s ambassador has openly accused three member states—France, China, and Pakistan—of striking covert financial deals with Iran to bypass its blockade of the strategically indispensable Strait of Hormuz. The allegations, delivered by Ambassador Danny Danon during a General Assembly session on Friday, April 19, cast a stark light on the deepening geopolitical fractures and alleged back-channel arrangements emerging from Iran’s control over the world’s most important oil transit corridor. The accusation: Paying for passage Ambassador Danon’s confrontation…

I’m always keeping a very close eye on the state of robotics. I’m equally excited and terrified by it.On one hand, I’d love to have a robot around the house so it could fold my laundry and make me feel like George Jetson.On the other hand, I feel like all it would need is one bad day or a bum software update to turn on me and hold me hostage or steal my credit card info. But that’s quite a way off. Right now, we’re at the “Make robots compete in marathons” phase of development.NEW CAPSULE DEVICE LETS YOU CONTROL ROBOTS WITH YOUR ENTIRE BODYHowever, not everyone is sticking the landing on this.China has been really big on robotics, and one broke the human marathon record in Beijing.Meanwhile, another one had malfunctioned in spectacular fashion.NEW CHINESE HUMANOID ROBOT SHOWS OFF ITS STRENGTH BY LIFTING 35 POUNDS PER HANDAs soon as I saw that robot start walking, I knew it was doomed.

Saildrone, a maritime defense company, announced on Monday a new class of unmanned surface vessels designed for anti-submarine warfare operations.The company released the Saildrone Spectre design, a vessel 54 meters long and 250 metric tons that’s capable of a speed up to 30 knots, making it the company’s “most capable” platform, Salidrone said.Spectre is meant for ASW missions, which demand “extreme endurance and an ultra-quiet acoustic signature,” according to an advanced company release shared with Military Times. The release states that the vessel utilizes the wing system’s endurance and silent propulsion to fulfill ASW operations.Richard Jenkins, Saildrone’s founder and CEO, revealed the two vessels, one without a wing and one with, to reporters at Monday’s Sea-Air-Space Exposition and said it marked the first time the company is selling a Saildrone vessel without a wing.“While the Saildrone wing is very good for very long endurance, we do appreciate what other roles require more stealth, more speed, and don’t have a mission requirement for that exceptional endurance without the wing,” Jenkins told reporters on Monday.Saildrone is partnering with Lockheed Martin, who works as a “mission integrator supporting the mission autonomy,” Paul Lemmo, a vice president and general manager of Lockheed Martin, said…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A New Jersey news outlet accused rock legend Bruce Springsteen of hypocritically profiteering off of an expensive anti-Trump concert in his own home state while still portraying himself as a “populist” rocker.NJ.com published a piece on Tuesday titled, “Springsteen’s N.J. concert was poisoned by hypocrisy. Anti-Trump final act is a tragic mistake.”Since kicking off the tour in Minneapolis on March 31, Springsteen, 76, has repeatedly unleashed blistering attacks on President Donald Trump during his shows, blasting the administration as “corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless and treasonous” and mocking the 79-year-old as a “president who can’t handle the truth” among other insults. The article noted that the musician opened his New Jersey show with the same brazen preamble.KID ROCK SAYS TPUSA’S ALTERNATE HALFTIME SHOW IS FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE JESUS AND AMERICA During his performance in Newark, Springsteen called his audience to join in “choosing hope over fear, democracy over authoritarianism, the rule of law over lawlessness, ethics over unbridled corruption, resistance over complacency, truth over lies, unity over division, and peace over war.”Springsteen, who remains an all-American icon known for anthems like “Born to Run,” “Thunder Road” and “Born in the U.S.A.,” has…

The U.S. medium-sized unmanned service vessels fleet could jump from roughly four to 30 vessels by 2030 in the Indo-Pacific, according to officials. As of now, the U.S. has at least four medium-sized unmanned service vessels that previously completed deployments in the region.In just four years, that amount could be approximately seven times larger, according to U.S. Navy Capt. Garrett Miller. Speaking on a panel about uncrewed maritime systems on Monday’s Sea-Air-Space Conference, Miller, the commodore of Surface Development Group 1, said that based on the service’s 2045 force vision, people can expect to see over 30 medium USVs in the Indo-Pacific.At the conference, he said that alongside the medium USVs, the service expects there to be thousands of small USVs and any number of unmanned aircraft systems that are operating from either manned or unmanned ships in that region.The four USVs that were deployed in the Indo-Pacific for five months in 2024 were the Sea Hunter, Sea Hawk, Mariner and Ranger vessels, and all four are still being used to further develop the Navy’s USV program.In early 2026, Miller announced at the Surface Navy Association’s 38th National Symposium the creation of three USV divisions and that the Sea Hawk…
