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…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! China offered new humanitarian energy assistance to Ukraine this week — even as a senior U.S. official said Beijing has the power to stop Russia’s invasion and has chosen not to.”China could call Vladimir Putin and end this war tomorrow and cut off his dual-purpose technologies that they’re selling,” U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker said during a Friday panel on U.S. foreign policy at the Munich Security Conference, moderated by Bloomberg.”China could stop buying Russian oil and gas,” he added.”You know, this war is being completely enabled by China.”NATO AMBASSADOR SAYS UKRAINE PEACE DEAL COULD BE ‘ON THE CUSP’ AS NATIONS NEAR FINALIZATION OF SECURITY PACTWhitaker’s remarks came as Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha on the sidelines of the conference and pledged what both sides described as humanitarian energy assistance to help Ukraine cope with ongoing Russian strikes on its power infrastructure.Sybiha said on social media that he was grateful for China’s decision to provide an additional energy aid package.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! President Donald Trump ordered an all-of-government effort to protect the District of Columbia’s water supply and slammed Maryland Gov. Wes Moore as a sewage pipe interceptor rupture in Cabin John has released an estimated 240 million gallons into the Potomac River. The break was first noticed on security cameras off the Clara Barton Parkway just north of the District line Jan. 19, and within several days, crews from DC Water were able to segregate much of the spill into the paralleling Chesapeake & Ohio Canal, according to local reports.The pipe takes wastewater from several towns in the John F. Dulles International Airport area all the way to Washington, where it is processed farther downstream at the Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant in Anacostia, D.C.”There is a massive ecological disaster unfolding in the Potomac River as a result of the gross mismanagement of local Democrat leaders, particularly, Governor Wes Moore, of Maryland,” Trump said in a Truth Social post late Monday.TRUMP SAYS HE COULD SEND THE NATIONAL GUARD TO MARYLAND TO ADDRESS CRIME “This is the same Governor who cannot rebuild a bridge. It is clear local authorities cannot adequately handle this calamity,”…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! WNBA star Sophie Cunningham shared her thoughts about the city of Los Angeles in a video posted to social media on Sunday.Cunningham, who is on the Indiana Fever, expressed why she isn’t the biggest fan of Los Angeles. She suggested that most of her dismay stemmed from the personalities she came across while she was out there. “So, I promise you I’m not being judgmental because I think there’s a place for legit everyone, and some people thrive in different areas. I don’t think I’m an LA girl,” she said in a video. “Like, at all. It’s just weird. People don’t dance. People don’t even like say, ‘Hi.’ They have no personalities. They have no personalities and they all look the same. It’s weird. Please tell me that’s not weird.”All these personalities you see on like Instagram and TikTok, all these famous influencers, I like how they found a space where they can feel like themselves and gain confidence online, but if you can’t speak to people or look people in the eye, like in person … is that not weird? Am I weird? I mean I know I’m weird, but like,…
Last in our recent spate of TOPS coverage is the Ontario XL Hunter. Whereas the last few new for 2026 TOPS pieces were in-house designs, the Ontario XL Hunter is actually a collaboration with another knife shop – can you guess which one? Okay, not a difficult question to be fair, but it is an interesting story nevertheless. Ontario Knife Company brought TOPS onboard to give one of their Old Hickory models the once-over, enhancing the proven outdoor classic with TOPS’s well-deserved reputation for ultra-rugged build quality. The result is something that underlines all the good qualities of the original piece and builds on them without disturbing the time-honored design. Although an XL knife, the Hunter is not enormous TOPS itself is quick to point out that they did not mess with the core edge geometry of the Old Hickory XL Hunter. The 5.5-inch blade retains the characterful clip blade that made its forebearer a favorite, but TOPS did beef up the stock a bit as you would expect: it’s .15” thick now, but with great care taken to maintain high slicing capability. 1095 carbon steel ensures that the XL Hunter will keep a keen edge for detail work, but…
The United States has taken control of another oil tanker for defying ruler Donald Trump’s “quarantine.” The Pentagon said that “the vessel tried to defy President Trump’s quarantine – hoping to slip away. We tracked it from the Caribbean to the Indian Ocean, closed the distance, and shut it down.” The US launched a military operation in Venezuela in early January. That operation saw the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. In addition to that, the US now claims to have seized control of the country’s oil exports. Earlier this year, Trump said that Washington plans to “control Venezuela’s oil resources indefinitely.” Even before that operation, Trump ordered what he described as a “total and complete blockade” on all US‑sanctioned oil tankers entering or leaving Venezuela in December, according to a report by RT. Russia has publicly and repeatedly condemned the US’s actions against Caracas. Russian officials said that Washington’s policies violate international norms. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said last week that the US is seeking to control all international energy supply routes to attain global economic dominance. This is not the first tanker that the US has taken, either, and the chances of it being the last are incredibly small.…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The increasingly controversial medical non-governmental organization Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) that has been accused of its anti-Israel rhetoric shocked many when it recently announced that it had ceased operations at the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza due to the presence of gunmen using the hospital it had constantly accused Israel of raiding.MSF said that its teams had “reported a pattern of unacceptable acts, including the presence of armed men, intimidation, arbitrary arrests of patients, and a recent situation of suspicion of movement of weapons,” and said the “incidents pose serious security threats to our teams and patients.”Salo Aizenberg, director of media watchdog group HonestReporting, told Fox News Digital that “MSF buried its acknowledgment of seeing armed gunmen at Nasser Hospital at the very end of a 2,500-word Gaza projects update, but still wouldn’t name who those gunmen were.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Liberal podcast host Brian Tyler Cohen defended his questioning of former President Barack Obama on Monday after the former president’s response to a question about aliens went viral and revealed that he asked Obama to clarify his comments.Cohen posted a video on Monday explaining that he thought Obama, based on his answer during their interview, believes aliens are real, “but that if he hasn’t seen them, it’s because they’re not here.””It felt clear to me. It felt clear to the other people in the room, but apparently it was not clear to others because, dear God, did the criticism roll in,” the podcast host explained.”I decided to reach out to the president’s team and ask if he’d be willing to make a clarification to his statement, which he did,” Cohen said before reading Obama’s statement.

United States ruler Donald Trump’s Board of Peace has vowed to send thousands of troops to Gaza for deployment. Trump announced the initiative in a Truth Social post, stating that countries participating will formalize their commitments at a meeting on February 19th in Washington. “Member States have pledged more than $5 BILLION DOLLARS toward the Gaza Humanitarian and Reconstruction efforts, and have committed thousands of personnel to the International Stabilization Force and Local Police,” he wrote, adding that Hamas must uphold its commitment to full and immediate “demilitarization.” Trump Reveals “Phase Two” of the Gaza Ceasefire The deployment of military troops to Gaza was touted as part of an effort to maintain “security and peace” in the Palestinian enclave. Unfortunately, most people do not view military occupation as peaceful or humanitarian. Trump did not state which nations have pledged troops or funding for the Gaza reconstruction efforts. However, Indonesia’s military said it has 8,000 personnel on standby, potentially making it the first country to formally commit forces if the government gives formal approval. “Our troops are fully prepared and can be dispatched at short notice once the government gives formal approval,” Army spokesman Brigadier General Donny Pramono told the Associated Press on…
