MoreThe Pentagon on Monday named four directed-energy weapons for a homeland counter-drone pilot, the first systems the military will field and test at U.S. bases under a program ordered by Congress.The four systems selected are AeroVironment’s Palletized High-Energy Laser, Epirus’ Leonidas high-powered microwave, Kord’s Firefly high-energy laser and Boeing’s Compact Laser Weapon System, the Defense Department said in a release. The pilot is run by Joint Interagency Task Force 401, or JIATF-401, the Army-led organization set up last year to coordinate counter-drone work across the military and other federal agencies.“High-energy lasers and high-powered microwave systems are tools that can be effectively used in a layered drone defense,” Army Brig. Gen. Matt Ross, the task force director, said in the release. “This pilot program will test these capabilities in an operational environment so we can understand how best to integrate and sustain them to defend the homeland.”The department said the pilot will gather real-time data on how the systems perform, what they cost and what it takes to operate and maintain them. Ross said in August the pilot will run for a year, with service members operating and maintaining the weapons at the bases. The task force is coordinating the pilot…

Former President Joe Biden has been largely absent from the campaign trail as Democrats fight to win back House and Senate majorities in November, even as former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Kamala Harris step up efforts to boost the party’s candidates.Biden, 83, has kept a limited public schedule while battling advanced, metastatic prostate cancer. He has endorsed candidates and is helping Democrats raise money, according to a source in Biden’s political circle. But the former president has made few political appearances this year.The contrast is increasingly visible with four weeks to go until Election Day.Obama is cutting ads for Senate and gubernatorial candidates, helping the party fundraise and preparing to hit the trail during the closing stretch of the midterm campaign.

America is So Back, but the Midterms Countdown BEGINS. The financial press is obsessing over rate hikes and whether the bond market is about to shatter Wall Street’s rally. They are looking through a pinhole, to be honest. What is actually unfolding across global markets and corridors of power isn’t a routine monetary standoff—it is an aggressive, coordinated Mandate of Growth for the United States under the Trump Doctrine. Look past the day-to-day noise and it will become so clear to you. Bank of America warns of surging 10-year yields, spike risks in the MOVE index, and impending deleveraging triggers, but they miss the larger structural chess game. Washington under Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent operates under an entirely different reality: economic dominance and asset markets are national security imperatives. The administration understands that a nation drowning its sovereign paper while relying on fragile foreign supply chains is vulnerable. The playbook being executed right now is designed to engineer absolute American primacy across energy, critical minerals, and strategic geographic chokeholds. This administration is DEMANDING that Americans think about their country again and behave like citizens that must protect their constitution and way of life first, not just their gasoline…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! President Donald Trump on Friday ordered his administration to install signs outside the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History directing visitors to what the White House describes as “accurate” information about the nation’s past.The executive order instructs the National Park Service, which maintains the sidewalks outside the museum, to place signs informing visitors about a White House report released July 4 that criticized the Smithsonian’s portrayal of American history. Trump also directed the creation of a temporary exhibit intended to correct what his administration considers inaccurate historical information.TRUMP WHITE HOUSE CALLS OUT SMITHSONIAN FOR PUSHING ‘ONE-SIDED, DIVISIVE POLITICAL NARRATIVES’The move follows a report from Trump’s Domestic Policy Council that accused the Smithsonian and the National Museum of American History of failing to present history “in a way that is inspiring, unifying, and worthy of our great republic.” Because the Smithsonian operates independently of the executive branch, Trump cannot directly remove museum leadership or unilaterally change exhibits. Instead, the order targets federal property outside the museum that falls under National Park Service jurisdiction.National Museum of American History Director Anthea M. Hartig defended the museum during congressional testimony this week.”As we continue to fact…
Welp, Dan Le Batard is back virtue signaling and cashing in left-wing political points. This is nothing out of the ordinary for the former ESPN personality as he provided his analysis of the ESPN layoffs, which included polarizing personality and one of the network’s most prominent race-baiters, Ryan Clark. Le Batard also fired a shot at OutKick in his racially unhinged rant on Friday’s show.If you’re unaware, OutKick broke the news that the “Worldwide Leader in Sports” was going to let go of Ryan Clark on Monday, though our reporter Bobby Burack was made aware of the move on Friday. When Burack and fellow reporter Dan Zaksheske reached out to ESPN in the afternoon to tell them they were going to break the story within the hour, ESPN panicked. What they did next is under scrutiny. They used that hour to pull Ryan Clark off air during a commercial break, and pitched the story to The Athletic, so they could break it before we did. Since then, Jemele Hill has tried to slander OutKick and Burack. Le Batard is now jumping on that slanderous bandwagon while providing a race-focused take that may have inadvertently been the most Ryan Clark thing…

This article was originally published by Sterling Ashworth at Natural News. The national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in the United States climbed back above $4 on July 20, 2026, according to American Automobile Association data. The average stood at $4.0030, marking a return to a level that analysts describe as a politically sensitive threshold for American consumers. [6] The increase followed a week of renewed hostilities in the Middle East, including Iranian attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and nine consecutive nights of U.S. military strikes against Iran. [8] Brent crude futures rose more than 3% on the day, pushing above $90 a barrel, as the conflict disrupted tanker traffic through the strategic waterway. [8] Reasons for the Price Increase Crude oil prices surged 16% in the past week, the largest weekly jump since April, according to market data. [8] The Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly 20% of global oil supplies transited before the war, was effectively closed again after a brief reopening in late June, cutting off shipments from the Persian Gulf. [3] The closure has been described as the largest supply disruption in recorded history, with the International Energy Agency releasing…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-N.J.) and former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) have a lot in common.Both have long spells of absences from Capitol Hill due to health.Kean was out for months this winter and spring. But until he returned in June, no one knew exactly what was going on. Neither Kean nor his office or family said a word about why the congressman was AWOL. Upon his return, Kean announced he endured a lengthy hospital stay for depression. McConnell’s absence is similarly cryptic.His office simply declared in June that the Kentucky Republican was hospitalized and receiving “excellent care.” Yet it took weeks to learn that McConnell was hospitalized for a fall and then pneumonia. The dearth of information fueled conspiracy theories about whether McConnell was even alive. It prompted a letter of inquiry from Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) as to the senator’s well-being.He told SiriusXM he hadn’t “heard a thing. Not an email. Not a letter. Not a call.”But that’s not where the similarities between Kean and McConnell end.During Kean’s absence, hardly a day went by when someone didn’t ask me about how they could potentially fill his seat. The same has…
