MoreThe Navy and the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) have dropped their initial opposition to disinterring the graves of battleship Arizona crew members buried more than 80 years ago as unknowns for possible identification and return to their families.In a late Thursday release, DPAA announced that the Operation 85 advocacy group led by family member Kevin Kline had met the 60% threshold of DNA Family Reference Samples for the number of crew members thought to be buried in the commingled graves at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, known as the “Punchbowl.”Although DPAA initially opposed the USS Arizona (BB-39) Unknown Identification Project, DPAA extended “its sincere appreciation” to Kline, grandnephew of Arizona crew member Gunner’s Mate 2nd Class Robert Edwin Kline, “and the ‘Operation 85’ team for their devoted efforts over the past three years to locate and connect enough USS Arizona families to help reach this important milestone.”Last November, Operation 85 announced that they had reached the required 60% threshold for the Arizona, meaning 643 families. However, it has awaited DPAA confirmation since then.In a phone interview with Military Times Thursday, Kline, who runs a real estate company in Fairfax County, Virginia, with his wife, Elizabeth, said the…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) on Friday sanctioned a major Chinese oil refinery and dozens of ships tied to Iran’s “shadow fleet,” escalating efforts to choke off Tehran’s main source of revenue.Officials said in a press release that the move targets Hengli Petrochemical, one of Iran’s largest oil buyers, along with a network of shipping companies and tankers responsible for transporting billions of dollars’ worth of petroleum products to foreign markets. The Treasury Department identified these “shadow fleet” vessels as the financial lifeline for Iran’s “unstable regime.”The crackdown is part of “Economic Fury,” a broader campaign to squeeze Iran’s economy by limiting its ability to sell oil abroad, revenue the U.S. says funds the regime’s military and destabilizing activities across the Middle East.”Economic Fury is imposing a financial stranglehold on the Iranian regime, hampering its aggression in the Middle East, and helping to curtail its nuclear ambitions,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said.SECOND TANKER SEIZED NEAR VENEZUELA AS US ENFORCES OIL BLOCKADE Hengli Petrochemical (Dalian) Refinery Co. is a China-based “teapot” refinery, a term used for independent facilities known for purchasing discounted crude, including from sanctioned countries.The refinery, one…
For over a century the M2 Browning .50-caliber machine gun, known affectionally among troops as “Ma Deuce,” has been the staple small arms weapon in the United States military arsenal.While certain enhancements have been made throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, the core of the gun has remained relatively unchanged. So much so that a doughboy could likely pick up the modern-day M2 and operate it.The highly versatile weapon has seen action affixed to the wings of P-47 Thunderbolts and P-51D Mustangs. It has floated down the Mekong Delta on the decks of America’s “Brown Water Navy” aboard patrol boats and river vessels. And it has surveyed terrain mounted atop Humvees during the Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan wars. That the M2 has managed to outlast all other small arms weapon is a testament to its maker: John Moses Browning.The ‘Thomas Edison’ of gunsBorn in Ogden, Utah Territory, in 1855, Browning was the son of Mormon gunsmith Jonathan Browning who fathered 22 children with three wives. John was lucky number 13 and spent much of his youth tinkering in his father’s workshop. By his mid-teens, Browning was a skilled metalworker in his own right and could repair or copy any gun…
What happens when the best basketball player in the world is out?Well, we will find out when the San Antonio Spurs (1-1) visit the Portland Trail Blazers (1-1) at the Moda Center for Game 3 of their first-round series in the 2026 NBA Playoffs.The Spurs’ star is “questionable” for Friday after entering concussion protocol when he fell on his face in the second quarter of Game 2. Based on how San Antonio has managed Wembanyama in his first three seasons, I’m literally betting that he won’t play in Game 3. Otherwise, there is no way I’d take Portland at anything less than +4. However, I’ll gladly BET TRAIL BLAZERS +2.5 (down to a pick ’em) under the assumption that the Spurs don’t rush Wemby back.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON OUTKICK.COMSince Wembanyama became the NBA’s first-ever unanimous Defensive Player of the Year this season, and he is the presumptive MVP betting favorite for the next 10+ years, this Spurs team should be a road underdog in the playoffs without him. Per CleaningTheGlass.com, Wemby has a +15.3 on/off net rating, and his impact is greater on the defensive end. Trail Blazers C Donovan Clingan becomes the best big on the…
The U.S. Air Force plans to more than double its F-15EX Eagle II fleet to 267 aircraft, up from the previously planned 129, as part of the fiscal 2027 budget request rolled out this week. The revised plan calls for 24 additional Eagle IIs next year at a cost of roughly $3 billion, according to the service’s fiscal 2027 budget request. “This will complete building existing F-15EX units and then begin to recapitalize the aging F-15E fleet,” a service spokesperson told Air & Space Forces Magazine.Service officials framed the Boeing-built fighter as a complement to, rather than competitor with, Lockheed Martin’s F-35A. “There are fundamental differences in what we’re looking for in a platform like the F-15EX, as compared to other advanced fifth-generation and sixth-generation fighters,” an Air Force official told reporters at an April 21 Pentagon briefing, citing the jet’s weapons-rail capacity and “its role in the Pacific theater.”The F-15EX can carry up to 12 air-to-air missiles, more than any current U.S. fighter, along with larger external standoff munitions, capabilities the Air Force has tied to homeland cruise missile defense and long-range Pacific strike profiles. Its non-stealth design keeps it out of contested penetration missions reserved for the F-35A…
The United States ruler is consistently insulting other countries and those who reside or immigrate from them. In a controversial social media repost of a commentary that called India and China “hellholes.” After A Fight That Devolved Into Insults, Trump Says He Can Forgive Musk Trump Insults Justin Trudeau, Calling Him A “Loser” On Thursday, Trump reposted a letter from American conservative political commentator and radio host Michael Savage on X, which described immigrants from India as “gangsters with laptops.” In a response posted on X, Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal termed the remarks as “obviously uninformed, inappropriate, and in poor taste.” US Congressman Ami Bera, a Democrat and son of Indian immigrants, called Trump’s post “offensive, ignorant, and beneath the dignity of the office he holds.” “They reflect a fundamental misunderstanding of who we are as a nation. America has always been strengthened by generations of immigrants who come here, work hard, and contribute to our country,” he wrote. –RT “They certainly do not reflect the reality of the India-US relationship, which has long been based on mutual respect and shared interests,” Jaiswal posted, according to a report by RT. The US Embassy in New Delhi reacted to Trump’s controversial post by…

Gavin Newsom, who delights in using Trump-like trolling tactics, is widely viewed as the Democratic Party’s presidential front-runner.He is riding a wave of interviews and podcasts, boosted by a new memoir, and trying to make the case that as California governor he is not as liberal as his record might suggest. Unlike most of his party, for instance, he opposes trans women athletes competing against men.NEWSOM SAYS TRUMP IS ONE OF THE ‘MOST DESTRUCTIVE’ PRESIDENT OF HIS LIFETIME: ‘THIS GUY IS RECKLESS’But there is a central fact about Newsom that, while it may be known to insiders and to some in his home state, is undoubtedly news to most Americans.Gavin Newsom is dyslexic. Seriously dyslexic. And as a new profile in the New Yorker makes clear, that affects his life every single day. Newsom showed author Nathan Heller a “folder of his printed material, his reading from the previous evening. Almost every word of text was underlined. He flipped through a galley proof of his memoir, in which the underlining covered whole pages–the only way, he said, that he could read any book, even his own.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., is ready to put Senate Democrats to the test on voter ID legislation.The Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act has earned the backing of 50 Senate Republicans, including Thune, which is enough to break through a key procedural hurdle.Whether it can pass from the Senate to President Donald Trump’s desk is, for now, an unlikely scenario if lawmakers take the traditional path in the upper chamber. Still, Thune wants to put Democrats on the spot as midterm elections creep closer.”We will have a vote,” Thune told Fox News Digital.SCHUMER SAYS DEMS WILL FIGHT VOTER ID PUSH ‘TOOTH AND NAIL,’ BALKS AT DHS ROLE IN ELECTIONS His comments came as he crisscrossed his home state of South Dakota, where he and Republicans in their respective states are out selling their legislative achievements as primary season fast approaches.Thune viewed the opportunity of a floor vote as a way to have Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and his caucus explain to voters why they would block a legislative push to federally enshrine voter ID and proof of citizenship to register to vote.”We will make sure that everybody’s…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! One teenager has been arrested in connection with what officials described as a “senseless” shooting that broke out in New York City as crowds of children gathered at the bus stop after school dismissal, killing one 16-year-old boy, police said Sunday. The Wednesday incident occurred in the Kingsbridge section of the Bronx amid what officials and witnesses characterized as an escalating wave of violence in the borough, prompting affected family members to criticize Mayor Zohran Mamdani and law enforcement for not doing enough to keep New Yorkers safe.Authorities identified the slain victim as Christopher Redding, an aspiring football player at John F. Kennedy High School, who sustained a gunshot wound to the back. According to a GoFundMe page, Redding was defending his friends who were being targeted by a group of individuals. Officials released footage of the suspects and said the group responsible for the escalation that led to the shooting consisted of four people, including three males and one female.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! President Donald Trump on Monday blamed Democrats for the partial government shutdown, as Republicans and Democrats have yet to reach a deal on Department of Homeland Security funding, while he also touted what he deemed as wins for his administration on issues such as the economy and crime.Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, Trump boasted of “great financial numbers” such as low inflation and falling fuel prices.”Great financial numbers, you saw low inflation, very low inflation. Prices are down. Way down. Gasoline is less than $2 a gallon in many places, which nobody expected to see,” Trump said, although the national average for gas is closer to $3 and state averages in areas with the cheapest fuel still remain above $2.DHS SHUTDOWN LOOMS AS JOHNSON NAVIGATES GOP DIVIDE OVER STOPGAP SOLUTIONS “But I did this going by the initial expression of drill, baby, drill.

This article was originally published by Marcos Giansante at The Mises Institute. In many emerging and tropical economies, the Austrian business cycle does not appear as a temporary deviation from equilibrium; it becomes a permanent condition. Chronic fiscal deficits, unstable legal frameworks, and recurring monetary expansion are not exceptional responses to extraordinary crises; they are structural features of the political order itself. As a result, the familiar cycle of artificial boom, malinvestment, and correction never fully resolves; it merely reshapes itself, extending its distortions across time. This persistent imbalance affects not only prices and production, but also the behavior of savers, investors, and families attempting to preserve the value of their accumulated work. Debt Without Credibility In such economies, government debt no longer functions as a bridge between present needs and future productivity. It becomes a political instrument, rolled over indefinitely, and increasingly detached from any realistic capacity for repayment through growth. Sovereign bonds may still offer attractive nominal yields, in fact, they often must. High interest rates are not a reward for prudence, but compensation for institutional mistrust. Investors are not merely pricing time preference, but political risk, legal uncertainty, and the likelihood of future rule changes. This creates…
