MoreNEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Bill Maher, host of HBO’s “Real Time,” had a message for Democrats looking to spoil the upcoming America 250 celebration over their distaste for President Donald Trump: Don’t be so petty. Referring to the 2024 Democratic National Convention, which featured many American flags, he argued, “You can’t take back the flag in an hour if the rest of the time you treat patriotism as something vaguely embarrassing.” Maher’s closing commentary on Friday came as the country is ramping up for its annual Fourth of July celebration, with Trump vowing to go big this year for America’s 250th anniversary. Despite the festivities, many Democrats are refusing to participate in the fun, citing their unhappiness with Trump as the primary catalyst — a decision Maher blasted Friday night while taking jabs at both sides.DEMOCRATS PROJECT DOOM AND GLOOM, NOT CELEBRATION, WITH JULY 4 MESSAGES “I’m not saying Trump doesn’t want to muddy the distinction between himself and the country,” Maher said. “He sure as s— does.” “That’s what wannabe authoritarians do,” he continued. “They try to blur the line. Don’t be an accomplice.” The TV host condemned the liberal argument that the country should not be celebrated just because…
In 1937, the Curtiss SBC Helldiver entered service, but even at that point, the carrier-based two-seat scout/dive bomber was on the verge of being obsolete. Interestingly, it was also the second aircraft produced by Curtiss-Wright to earn the designation “Helldiver” after the United States Marine Corps’ version of the Curtiss Falcon, operated by the U.S. Navy as the F8C Falcon. Curtiss SB2C-5 Helldiver of Bombing Squadron Ten (VB-10), USS Intrepid (CV-11), flies over Tientsin, China, as the city is reoccupied by the Allies in September 1945. Image: U.S. Navy The name was recycled just six years later with the Curtiss SB2C Helldiver 2, a carrier-based dive bomber designed to supplement and replace the Douglas SBD Dauntless. To suggest it had a rocky start and a less-than-stellar service life would be a severe understatement. Still, it went on to be produced in large numbers and saw extensive service in the Pacific Theater. It initially earned a reputation for poor handling, structural flaws, and unreliability. Yet, it became the primary dive bomber in service at the end of the Second World War, with its success attributed as much to the skill and bravery of the pilots as to the aircraft. The landing officer…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! For months, senior Trump administration officials argued that Iran’s ballistic missile arsenal helped shield Tehran’s nuclear ambitions and was a key reason the U.S. launched Operation Epic Fury attacks on the country. Now, President Donald Trump is suggesting Iran having missiles may not be a problem at all.”If other countries have them, it’s a little bit unfair for them not to have some. If Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and they all have some, I would say that in relative proportion, I think it’s okay,” Trump said at the G7 Wednesday. “Am I going to let Saudi Arabia have missiles, but [Iran] can’t have them? It doesn’t work that way.” “Missiles aren’t the problem. They hurt a little location, but they don’t blow up the planet.””The Gulf nations will address the nonnuclear issues, as we’ll be talking about the ballistic missiles,” the president added. “And we’ll talk, also, about the terrorist proxies that they have that — we don’t want that to happen.” ISRAELI OFFICIALS REPORTEDLY WARN IRAN’S BALLISTIC MISSILES COULD TRIGGER SOLO MILITARY ACTION AGAINST TEHRANTrump made the remarks while discussing whether Iran should be permitted to retain missile capabilities in a news conference…

American Action Network invested $37 million, highlighting how conservative policies deliver real relief,” Chris Winkelman, AAN’s president, said in a statement to Fox News Digital.The renewed spending further solidifies affordability as a key issue that is expected to play a pivotal role in the 2026 midterms.While inflation has risen in recent months, AAN believes that Republicans can continue to press the affordability message as an effective way to reach voters and have highlighted the issue in several ads, narrowing in on the work Republicans have done through Trump’s signature One Big Beautiful Bill.PENCE LAUNCHES GOP MESSAGING BLITZ ON ‘ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL’ AHEAD OF MIDTERMS The group has been advancing messaging on the bill since it was passed in July of last year.”The American comeback is here.

A new report exploring how restaurants are performing in the United States and which brands American diners prefer found that McDonald’s comes to mind first when most consumers consider eating fast food — even though other chains ranked higher for burger quality.In its survey, “Best Bites 2026: U.S. Restaurant Brand Rankings,” the international market research group YouGov sought to discover: “Which restaurant brands come out on top among American adults?”The group surveyed U.S. adults about restaurant considerations, food quality and dining preferences.FAST-FOOD GIANT DETHRONED AS CUSTOMER STUDY CROWNS AMERICA’S NEW FAVORITE RESTAURANT CHAIN”One of the more interesting findings is that McDonald’s leads all fast-food brands in consideration when Americans are deciding where to purchase fast food, despite ranking behind several competitors on best-tasting burgers,” Ashley Brown, the Georgia-based senior director of YouGov, told Fox News Digital.”At the same time, McDonald’s is the clear leader when consumers are asked which restaurant has the best fries,” she added. “Taken together, the findings suggest consumers evaluate fast-food brands across multiple menu items and attributes, not just burgers alone, when deciding where to eat.”The YouGov survey asked respondents, “When you are in the market next to…

The Titans’ news release said that he passed away at Ascension St. Thomas Midtown Hospital with his family by his side.”My heart aches with the loss of Coach Mac, who was so much more than a coach and broadcaster – he was family,” Titans owner Amy Adams Strunk said in a statement.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Hotels in Los Angeles, California are struggling, a new report from industry researchers claimed in a new report.”Hotels are struggling to keep up with rising operating costs coupled with falling demand,” the American Hotel and Lodging Association (AHLA) researchers said last week.According to AHLA, the city’s minimum wage mandate and other policies led to increased “costs without flexibility to reflect market conditions and demand levels.”A phased-in minimum wage hike in Los Angeles mandated up to $30 per hour for airport and hotel workers. The law was signed into law last year by Mayor Karen Bass, mandating that their hourly wage must be raised by $2.50 each year until they reach $30 in 2028. DAVID SPADE WONDERS IF HOLLYWOOD CAN RECOVER ITS MOVIE INDUSTRY AS PEOPLE FLEE LOS ANGELESThe AHLA is the largest hotel association in America, representing more than 30,000 members from all segments of the industry nationwide. Its methodology stated it was a “member survey of Los Angeles hotel operators and owners” that featured “16 questions in multiple-choice, select-all-that-apply, and ranking formats.”The report claimed that the policies led to reduced hiring and cuts in labor hours. Other issues that arose included delayed…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! One of Rep. Eric Swalwell’s, D-Calif., closest friends in Congress is putting distance between himself and the lawmaker, contending he had no idea about the bombshell accusations of sexual assault that have surfaced against the former gubernatorial candidate.”I want to be clear: I had no knowledge of the allegations of assault, harassment, and predatory behavior against Eric Swalwell,” Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., said in a statement.”The women who have come forward have shown courage,” he continued. “They deserve to be believed, to be supported, and to see justice served.”HOUSE REPUBLICAN PLANS MOTION TO OUST SWALWELL FROM CONGRESS AMID SEXUAL ASSAULT ALLEGATIONS Gallego’s turn on Swalwell came just minutes before the lawmaker announced his resignation from Congress.He already pulled his endorsement of Swalwell’s now-defunct bid for governor shortly after the bombshell San Francisco Chronicle report was published, and said the lawmaker was “no longer fit to be a member of Congress” and supported the push to expel him from the lower chamber.It’s the culmination of a swift about-face for Gallego, who has signaled a desire for a 2028 presidential bid and was once described by Swalwell as his “best friend in the world.”The…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Vice President JD Vance said Iran holds the deciding hand in what comes next in the Middle East conflict, while rejecting reports that recent peace talks in Pakistan ended in failure.Vance’s remarks come after his weekend trip to Pakistan for face-to-face negotiations with Iranian officials – talks that reports suggested produced no breakthrough.”The ball is very much in their court,” Vance told “Special Report” anchor Bret Baier on Monday. “You ask what happens next, I think the Iranians are going to determine what happens next.”Vance said there were “good conversations” during the weekend talks that helped clarify U.S. priorities, including the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial international oil route.ROBERT MAGINNIS: WHY ISLAMABAD TALKS WERE ALWAYS DOOMED TO FAIL “I wouldn’t just say that things went wrong. I also think things went right. We made a lot of progress,” he said.”They moved in our direction, which is why I think we would say that we had some good signs, but they didn’t move far enough.”Vance told Fox News that the Pakistan peace talks ultimately ended because Iranian negotiators were unable to finalize a deal, adding that the discussions revealed insights…
As the U.S. Navy continues to increase its presence and block passage in the Strait of Hormuz during the Iran war, experts have published a report calling into question the country’s current shipbuilding strategy and recommending ways to improve its maritime industrial base.A Center for Maritime Strategy report, released Friday, argues that amid an “atrophy” of the maritime industrial base, the U.S. should utilize its partnerships with naval allies to boost its shipbuilding, technological and strategic capabilities.This assessment comes while the Navy is in the spotlight for playing a large part in the war in Iran, a conflict that puts strain on the Navy’s already diminished assets and does not indicate signs of slowing down.The Center for Maritime Strategy, a nonprofit and nonpartisan think tank that focuses on U.S. maritime issues and their broader national security implications, highlighted in its report that the Navy has yet to reach its shipbuilding goal.“The U.S. [maritime industrial base] must be reconstituted quickly, utilizing the most modern equipment and procedures to meet the growing threats to the United States and its allies and partners,” the report reads.President Donald Trump’s fiscal 2027 budget request allots $65.8 billion for shipbuilding to produce 18 battle force ships…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog under the title: Global Food Shortages Will Hit The World Like A Freight Train In 6 To 9 Months Because Virtually Nothing Will Get Through The Strait Of Hormuz Now Where do we go from here? Peace talks with Iran have totally failed, and there appears to be no hope that the gaps between the demands that the U.S. is making and the demands that Iran is making can be bridged. There are several key issues that both sides are not willing to compromise on, and that have very serious implications for the entire planet. In the aftermath of the failed peace talks, Iranian officials warned that the status quo in the Strait of Hormuz would continue. Needless to say, that was completely and totally unacceptable to the Trump administration, and in response, President Trump has just announced a full naval blockade of the Strait. What this means is that virtually nothing will get through the Strait of Hormuz for an extended period of time. As a result, the spring planting season in the northern hemisphere will be a total disaster, and global food shortages will hit…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A Butler, Pennsylvania man has pleaded guilty to making threats to assassinate President Donald Trump, other U.S. officials and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).Shawn Monper, 32, pleaded guilty on Monday to two counts of threatening to assault and murder U.S. officials and federal law enforcement officers with intent to impede or retaliate against them while they were carrying out their duties.Law enforcement officials arrested Monper on April 9, 2025, after launching an investigation into threats posted on YouTube by a user identified as “Mr Satan.”The FBI was notified about Monper’s YouTube account on April 8, 2025, and was able to link it to his home in Butler.BONDI PRAISES RYAN ROUTH VERDICT, SAYS ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT WAS AN ‘AFFRONT TO OUR VERY NATION ITSELF’ He made several threatening statements between Jan. 15 and April 5, including that he was “going to assassinate” Trump “myself,” that “ICE are terrorist people, we need to start killing them,” and that “eventually im going to do a mass shooting.”On Feb. 17, he wrote: “Nah, we just need to start killing people, Trump, Elon [Musk], all the heads of agencies…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., announced he would resign his congressional seat on Monday on the heels of multiple bombshell reports last Friday that forced him to drop out of a bid to become the next governor of California.”I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past,” Swalwell said ina statement. “I will fight the serious, false allegation made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make.””I am aware of efforts to bring an immediate expulsion vote against me and other members. Expelling anyone in Congress without due process, within days of an allegation being made, is wrong,” he continued. “But it’s also wrong for my constituents to have me distracted from my duties. Therefore, I plan to resign my seat in Congress.”While Democrats fell short of calling on Swalwell to resign his seat, the Chronicle’s scathing reporting left a wave of Swalwell’s colleagues rescinding their support for his campaign — including former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.Pelosi urged that consideration of the accusations against Swalwell take place outside of the context of his campaign.SWALWELL…
A two-man team of Army Rangers from 75th Ranger Regiment won this year’s Best Ranger Competition, marking the sixth consecutive year the unit has placed first in the grueling three-day event. Spc. Caleb Godbold and Sgt. Drew Schorsch finished first after completing a host of physical, technical and cognitive tasks at Fort Benning, Georgia, over the last week. Ranger school is widely viewed as the Army’s premier leadership and small unit tactics course. The monthslong course has a high failure rate and its graduates earn a coveted Ranger tab — worn on the left shoulder sleeve of Army uniforms — that shows the soldier completed the school. The competition, known formally as The Lt. Gen. David E. Grange Jr. Best Ranger Competition, pits two-man teams of Ranger graduates against each other. On Sunday, the Army published the final standings for the 61 teams, with 75th Ranger Regiment taking the top three spots. Godbold and Schorsch faced a gauntlet of events including marksmanship, land navigation and medical tasks while under sleep deprivation and fatigue. First conceived in 1981 as a “Ranger Olympics,” the Best Ranger Competition began in 1982 at Fort Benning. Initially limited to members of the Ranger community, the…
