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…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! 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.

The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower returned home Monday after an aviation accident left eight sailors injured.The ship pulled into Norfolk, Virginia, a week after naval aviators landing an E/A-18G Growler were forced to eject when the plane’s arresting gear failed.The cause of the mishap is under investigation.Search-and-rescue personnel from Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 7 recovered the aviators from the ocean and returned them to the ship before they were flown off to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth for further medical evaluation.Six other shipboard personnel were injured during the incident.One sailor was medically evacuated from the ship to receive further treatment for non-life-threatening injuries at a Norfolk, Virginia, facility.Another two sailors were flown to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth.The Navy told Military Times that the E/A-18G Growler that went overboard has not been recovered from the ocean.The Navy’s investigation will recommend whether the service should salvage the aircraft.The Eisenhower returned on July 15, 2024, from a nine-month deployment, during which it battled Iran-backed Houthi rebels along the Red Sea.The ship finished up sea trials in April as part of its planned incremental availability and was conducting carrier qualifications in the Atlantic at the time of the incident.Riley Ceder is a…
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…

MoreAt her age, race activist Alveda King wasn’t the least bit surprised by the Caitlin Clark opinion piece penned this week by USA Today sports columnist Nancy Armour.”I’ve seen every kind of race-baiting that you can imagine. I’m 75 years old,” the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. told OutKick on Friday. Armour’s column relating the murder of Emmett Till to Caitlin Clark putting black and lesbian WNBA players in physical danger didn’t come as a shock to a woman who has seen so much over her lifetime. King, a Fox News contributor, says this playbook by the left-wing media is all too predictable.”What people have learned to do, is to throw out inflammatory, emotional phrases that will make people emotional and forget how to think. There was no reason to throw Emmett Till’s name out there. And so, that’s called race-baiting,” she continued.King’s advice to Americans is simple: Don’t be “misled by emotional turmoil without examining the facts.”What are the facts here?NANCY ARMOUR’S DISASTROUS CAITLIN CLARK ARTICLE EXEMPLIFIES WHY SPORTSWRITING AND SPORTS MEDIA IS FAILINGAs OutKick’s Dan Zaksheske has written this week, Armour has used Clark as a race-baiting target in the past.

Summer is in full swing in South Florida, but if you’ve been down here at any point in the last few months or you own a thermometer, you’re probably aware of that.With the calendar rapidly approaching the last week in July, it’s easy to get down about summer coming to an end, but it also means we are closing in on the most wonderful time of the year.No, I’m not talking about Christmas. It’s spiny lobster mini season here in the Sunshine State.TWO REGULAR JOES WILL COMPETE WITH PROS FOR $3.25M PURSE AT INAUGURAL ‘THE CHAMPIONS’ BASS FISHING TOURNAMENT If you’re unfamiliar with mini season, it’s basically a time where commercial fishers aren’t allowed to catch any lobsters so that anyone who does so recreationally can have first dibs.It happens the last Wednesday and Thursday of July every year, and every hotel along the Florida Keys braces in anticipation for the mass pilgrimage of both natives and visitors who will make the trek down to participate.For those who wish to partake in the wonders of mini season, there are some rules you must follow.You are limited to 12 lobsters per person per day, unless you are diving in Monroe County…
Over 5,000 enlisted medical students at a Texas military base are being relocated due to “foundational defects” with the construction of their current barracks.Around 5,200 Army, Navy and Air Force enlisted students assigned to the Medical Education and Training Campus, or METC, at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston are being moved to on-base temporary housing, the San Antonio Express-News was first to report. Their barracks face construction failures, which is forcing them to be demolished and ultimately reconstructed, a base spokesperson told Military Times.Instead of normal wear and tear, “systemic infrastructure failures” rooted in their construction are causing the need to tear down the METC dormitories. The spokesperson said that the facilities have experienced persistent issues with their climate control systems, and the structural flaws in the building cannot be permanently resolved through routine maintenance or ongoing repairs.“It has been determined that a complete teardown and transition to traditionally built facilities is the most responsible course of action,” the spokesperson said.The METC dorms finished construction in 2014 using modular building methods meant to enhance efficiency and reduce onsite labor requirements to boost the project timelines.The construction cost $140 million for each 1,200-person dormitory, according to the construction company tasked…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Graham Platner’s lead campaign strategist, Morris Katz, admitted on Friday that the controversies that came out about the ex-Maine Democratic Senate candidate early on should have been enough to disqualify him from running.Katz told The New York Times that the anger and frustration surrounding Platner’s campaign was valid. He said he often criticizes establishment Democrats for not learning from their mistakes, and said, “I think there are things here, many of the critiques that have been made, that are incredibly valid and things to learn from.”Platner ended his Senate campaign in July after Jenny Racicot alleged the Senate candidate had raped her when the two were in a relationship in 2021, which was first reported by Politico. NEW EXPLOSIVE ALLEGATION ROCKS PLATNER CAMPAIGN STILL REELING FROM RAPE ACCUSATION”That being said, in hindsight, knowing what we know now, the Reddit posts alone probably should have been enough — or should have been enough. The tattoo should have been enough. The initial New York Times story on troubling behavior should have been enough,” Katz said.Katz’s remarks drew some derision online, as those who felt Platner was problematic at the time were roundly dismissed and…
The Pentagon on Thursday nominated Lt. Gen. Kevin D. Admiral to serve as the next commander of the U.S. Army Europe and Africa theater. Admiral, who currently serves as the commander of III Corps and Fort Hood, Texas, could take over the top job from Gen. Christopher Donahue, who unexpectedly relinquished command earlier this month after only 18 months in the role. Since Donahue’s exit, Maj. Gen. Christopher Norrie has been serving as acting commander.If confirmed, Admiral would also serve as commander of NATO’s Allied Land Command, coordinating with 104 countries in USAREUR-AF’s area of responsibility. He would remain a three-star, despite the role previously being a four-star position. Prior to leading III Corps and Fort Hood, Admiral served as the commanding general for the 1st Cavalry Division out of Fort Hood, Texas, and in Poland, and director of force management in the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-3/5/7, according to his official Army bio.Donahue’s early July departure came amid the Pentagon’s broad senior leadership changes under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who in April asked U.S. Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George to step down and retire ahead of the typical four-year term.Since taking office, Hegseth has…
United States ruler Donald Trump has threatened to seize Iranian assets in order to cover “any and all damages” done to ships and cargo in the Middle East, due to the war he and Israel started on February 28th. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that this move sets an “incendiary precedent” that could have global ramifications. The US has, historically, been unconcerned with the precedents it sets. It tends to carry a “do as I say, not as I do” attitude with regard to war, especially. A great example of this was the war crimes committed against Venezuela in the name of preventing “narco terrorism.” War Crimes Stacking Up: Three More Killed In US Attack On A Venezuelan Boat In a post on Truth Social on Thursday, Trump warned that “from this point forth, any and all damages done to Ships, Cargo, or anything related thereto, will be paid for by Iranian Money that the United States has in its possession, and controls.” He said that “these damages may be very substantial,” describing it as “the fair and equitable thing to do.” Trump did not clarify exactly which assets he was referring to. The remarks came hours after Yemen’s Houthi rebels, a…

U.S. Space Force 1st Lt. Thomas Moriarty, an operations officer assigned to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam’s Wahiawa Annex, set six Hawaii state powerlifting records in April while encouraging fellow service members to view fitness as a critical piece of military readiness.At 48 years old, he recorded a 182.5-kilogram squat, 140-kilogram bench press, 215-kilogram deadlift, 355-kilogram push-pull total and a 537.5-kilogram overall total, setting six Hawaii state records at the 2026 USA Powerlifting Hawaii State Championship on April 25. He said his training prepares him for the physical demands of military service while promoting longevity.“I do think it’s about exceeding the standards, but it’s also just about wanting to live with a high quality of life,” Moriarty said in a release. “And so that, if my number’s ever called and I have to go do some physical stuff, I’m not going to be in a bad spot.”Moriarty wakes up at 3 a.m. three days a week to train before reporting for duty, and he encourages fellow service members to make fitness a priority.“You just have to move, whatever flavor that is for you,” he said. “Sitting down all day long is not good.” Moriarty said his fitness journey has also changed…
