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…

MoreThe United States’ relationship with Canada has deteriorated in the aftermath of the trade war started by Donald Trump. The president has also been calling Canada the 51st state, irritating the Northern neighbor. But the insults continue, as the U.S. mocked Canada’s loss in the Olympic the gold metal hockey game. Trump Suggested Canada Become The 51st State The mocking post went up on Sunday, referring to the US’s 2–1 overtime win in the gold-medal game. It also included an embedded year-old tweet from then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reading: “You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game.” It included an image of an eagle besting a Canadian goose. Trudeau had made the remark after Canada’s 3-2 overtime victory over the U.S. at the NHL’s 4 Nations Face-Off in a fight-marred game that saw loud booing of the American national anthem by Canadian fans. In response to the repost, Prime Minister Mark Carney said he expected Washington to “respect Canadian sovereignty.” The White House later sought to downplay the meetings, saying that “no support or commitments were conveyed.” Separately, Trump posted his own spin on the win to Truth Social: a one-minute AI-generated clip showing a suit-clad, visibly younger version…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A growing number of Democrats are trying to divert attention away from President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday through their absences amid a limited set of options for peaceably voicing their displeasure with the administration.A number of Democrats will instead attend the “People’s State of the Union” event held near the Lincoln Memorial.The event, described as a rally, is organized by MeidasTouch and MoveOn Civic Action, a pair of left-leaning media and activist groups, and will focus on criticisms of Trump’s first year back in office.The event will draw senators like Ed Markey, D-Mass., Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., Chris Murphy, D-Conn., Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., and Tina Smith, D-Minn., On the House side, Democrats attending will include Reps.

The U.S. Air Force and Northrop Grumman have agreed to increase production capacity for the B-21 Raider stealth bomber by 25%, speeding up delivery of the service’s next-generation long-range strike platform, the service announced in a Feb. 23 release. The deal applies $4.5 billion in funding previously authorized and appropriated under fiscal year 2025 reconciliation legislation, commonly known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” The move accelerates the approved acquisition profile by increasing annual production capacity by 25%, compressing delivery timelines while maintaining cost and performance discipline. The B-21 Raider, built by Northrop Grumman, is currently in low-rate initial production, which began following a contract award in January 2024. Aircraft deliveries began on schedule in 2025, with the first operational aircraft on track to arrive at Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota, in 2027, according to the release. “The B-21 is foundational to our long-range strike capability and to credible deterrence,” Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink said in the release. “Accelerating production capacity now ensures we deliver operational capability to combatant commanders faster — strengthening our ability to outpace, deter, and, if necessary, defeat emerging threats. This is disciplined execution at the speed the security environment demands.” The…

And you know, you see it on commercials, everyone’s got that, so no big deal,” Homa told Fox News Digital as a part of Arcutis’ Free to Be Me campaign. “As I got older, started to get a lot of redness on my face and I tried everything over the counter, creams or whatever lotions and I could get things to like help it a little bit, but never sustainable.”Homa said that being out in public a lot, it’s not ideal to wear a blotch on your face to counteract what seb derm, and said that in his beard it became painful.

This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. In a Monday televised speech on the occasion of Russia’s “Defender of the Fatherland Day,” President Vladimir Putin declared that the development of the nuclear triad “remains an absolute priority” for Russia, coming soon on the heels of the collapse of the New START nuclear treaty with the United States. The nuclear triad serves as the ultimate guarantee of Russia’s security and allows the effective maintenance of strategic deterrence and the balance of power in the world, explained Putin, calling it “our absolute priority”. Countries like Russia, which are seen by the US either as rivals or even ‘rogue’ – are busy taking note of Iran now being threatened with regime change given it does not possess a nuclear deterrent. 1971 nuclear test off French Polynesia. Putin further emphasized in the context of strategic deterrence that Russia will enhance the potential of its armed forces and improve their combat readiness and mobility – as well as maintaining the ability to operate under the most complex conditions. He further pledged to accelerate the pace of research and development of advanced weapons and equipment for the military to ensure that they are in reliable hands, according to state…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! As the Russia-Ukraine war enters its fourth year since Moscow’s full-scale invasion in 2022, United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer referred to the ongoing conflict as “the most critical issue of our age,” according to a press release announcing additional UK assistance for Ukraine.”On this grim anniversary, our message to the Ukrainian people is simple: Britain is with you, stronger than ever. That is why we are announcing new support today and we will continue to support Ukraine for as long as it takes,” Starmer said, according to the press release.”For all the noise in world affairs today, this war remains the most critical issue of our age. It asks the question of whether Ukrainian and European freedom will endure. Our answer, together, is unequivocal. Russia is not winning this war. They will not win this war.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Every four years, Americans fall in love with a fantasy. A new president will change the federal deficit.Republicans promise growth will outrun the debt.Democrats promise taxes on the rich will fix it.And the U.S. Debt Clock keeps spinning like a Vegas slot machine that only pays out in red ink.As of 2026, the United States owes roughly $38.5 trillion and it’s climbing about $8 billion per day. The net interest payments on the debt officially exceed our annual defense budget.We’re not arguing politics anymore. We’re arguing arithmetic.The Trump Plan: Growth + Tariffs + Tax CutsLet’s be fair: Trump’s economic philosophy has been consistent since he started campaigning.Extend tax cuts — no tax on tips, overtime, or Social Security.Add tariff revenue — now a political and legal battle.Shrink bureaucracy — started with DOGE.Grow GDP faster than spending — up only 1.4% last quarter.That worked sort of well when debt was $20 trillion lower and interest rates were near zero.But today’s numbers are very different.The Congressional Budget Office estimates current policy paths keep deficits near $2 trillion annually and push debt to about 120% of GDP within a decade. Here’s the translation. Even if the economy hums at an insane rate…
