NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Philadelphia residents have been sharing the sidewalks with robot delivery drivers for about a month and they’re not thrilled with the change. Uber Eats held a demo on March 10 showing off Avride autonomous delivery robots, which officially launched in the city of brotherly love that same week.The robots were described as “the future of delivery,” but the humans around them quickly began resenting the automated couriers. In late March, an Uber Eats delivery robot in Philadelphia’s Center City neighborhood, was kicked multiple times. The second time the autonomous delivery bot was kicked it toppled over, according to WPVI-TV, which noted that the people who attacked the robot put it on its wheels. The kicking incident occurred just after another viral incident in which someone sat on one of the robots.”When delivery robots are introduced in a new area, it’s quite common to see heightened curiosity from people around them. Some may try to ‘test’ how the robot reacts — for example, by stepping in front of it or attempting to interact with it directly. This is a known and expected phase as people get used to the technology. These few cases…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Reactions poured Thursday after First Lady Melania Trump issued a rare on-camera statement forcefully rebuking allegations linking her to disgraced financier and convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.Speaking earlier in the day, Melania Trump said she was never friends with Epstein or his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, and stressed that neither played any role in her introduction to her husband, President Donald Trump.”The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today,” she said. “The individuals lying about me are devoid of ethical standards, humility, and respect.  I do not object to their ignorance, but rather, I reject their mean-spirited attempts to defame my reputation.” As she emphasized that her name never appeared in court documents related to Epstein, several political figures quickly took to social media to publicly rally in support of the first lady.MELANIA TRUMP DENOUNCES ‘LIES’ CONNECTING HER WITH DISGRACED FINANCIER JEFFREY EPSTEIN IN WHITE HOUSE EVENT Rep.

In 1994, U.S. Air Force’s Wright Laboratory in Ohio were pressing the bounds to the question: Fellas, is it gay to fight for your country?In the early aughts of the 1990s, the Pentagon was working on developing a whole host of non-lethal chemical weapons that would render an enemy force incapable of being anything other than … amorous or annoyed.Within a three-page declassified document came a blink-and-you-miss-it line positing using “Chemicals that effect human behavior so that morale and discipline in enemy units is adversely affected.”“One distasteful but completely non-lethal example,” it continued, “would be strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behavior.”In a word, a chemical weapon that would make enemy soldiers sexually irresistible to one another — striking a blow to morale. The randy chemical, later dubbed “gay bomb,” was just one of the many that the Wright Laboratory explored in its proposal dubbed “Project Sunshine.”Among others, Project Sunshine contained a litany of ideas ranging from the absurd to impractical, including: making a “chemical that made personnel very sensitive to sunlight”; making a weapon that would attract swarms of enraged wasps or rats to an enemy position; and the development of a chemical that caused “severe…

Bruce Springsteen is turning up the volume — not with music, but with a fiery political speech that’s putting him back at the center of controversy.The billionaire rocker is facing backlash after recently blasting America’s richest and most powerful in a scathing speech — one that critics say rings differently given his own reported $1.2 billion fortune.According to Forbes’ March 2026 report, “The World’s Celebrity Billionaires,” Springsteen lands at No. 15 with a staggering net worth of $1.2 billion.BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN SLAMMED AS ‘TRAITOR’ AFTER RIPPING AMERICA DURING MINNEAPOLIS CONCERT RANTSpringsteen began to address the audience, “The richest men in America have abandoned the world’s poorest children to death and disease through dismantling of U.S. aid.

U.S. President Donald Trump, upset at NATO allies’ failure to help secure the Strait of Hormuz and angry that his plans to acquire Greenland have not advanced, has discussed with advisers the option of removing some U.S. troops from Europe, a senior White House official told Reuters on Thursday.No decision has been made, and the White House has not directed the Pentagon to draw up concrete plans for a troop reduction on the continent, said the official, who requested anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.But the discussions alone underscore how sharply relations between Washington and its European NATO allies have deteriorated in recent months. They also suggest that a visit to the White House on Wednesday by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte failed to significantly improve transatlantic relations, which are arguably at their lowest point since NATO’s 1949 founding.The White House has publicly said that Trump has considered withdrawing from the alliance altogether. Removing troops from Europe would allow Trump to dramatically lessen Washington’s security commitments on the continent, without formally withdrawing, a move that would test constitutional law.The U.S. currently has more than 80,000 troops in Europe and has played a central role in Europe’s security architecture since World War…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog.  It is difficult to believe the pace at which global events are now moving. Apocalyptic threats are being thrown around recklessly, and severe damage is being done to the global economic system every single day. A lot of people still seem to think that economic conditions will snap back to normal once the war ends, and that is because they don’t understand the level of destruction that has already taken place. Even if the war ends tomorrow and commercial traffic starts flowing freely through the Strait of Hormuz once again, the world won’t be getting nearly as much energy from the Middle East because dozens of oil and natural gas facilities have either been damaged or destroyed. That means that widespread rationing and global energy shortages are baked in, no matter what happens next. According to the executive director of the IEA, 75 energy sites in the Persian Gulf region have been attacked, and approximately a third of those sites have experienced severe damage… International Energy Agency (IEA) Executive Director Fatih Birol was interviewed by the French newspaper Le Figaro earlier on Tuesday and warned that the Gulf energy shock…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Former Sen. Ben Sasse said in an interview Thursday that America’s political and media ecosystem has become a distraction from deeper cultural decay.”We’re not going to talk about politics at all,” Sasse told Ross Douthat of The New York Times during the “Interesting Times” podcast as he undergoes treatment for stage 4 pancreatic cancer. “What we’re going to talk about is the fact that we were living through a technological revolution… and we were living through institutional collapse.”Sasse, who left the Senate in 2023 after eight years, described his diagnosis as a “death sentence” but used the conversation to frame a broader critique of American public life, arguing that politics and media have shrunk into reactive, tribal spaces.He said the rise of digital technology has reshaped how Americans think, interact and form community, pulling attention away from real-world relationships and toward fragmented online engagement. According to Sasse, this shift has hollowed out institutions while amplifying extreme voices.BERNIE SANDERS SAYS TRUMP’S NOT STUPID TO REALIZE ‘SYSTEM IS BROKEN,’ EVEN AS HE MAKES IT WORSE “The weirdos are crowding everybody else out,” Sasse said. “All of our outlets have an incentive to go narrow…

The U.S. Navy announced the winners of its annual award recognizing excellence in food service among the branch’s vessels, boats and installations.The fiscal year 2026 Captain Edward F. Key Memorial Food Service Award was given to eight afloat and three ashore mess hall teams on Monday, according to an ALNAV administrative message.“These annual awards encourage excellence in Navy food service programs with the objective of improving the quality of life for our Navy personnel,” said an administrative message issued by Navy Secretary John Phelan.The service has made its troops’ nutrition a main priority over the last decade, specifically with the introduction of the military-wide Go for Green program in 2016.The program assists service members searching for healthier food options, providing color coding to help sailors assess which meals provide the most nourishment.RELATEDAs of 2024, the Navy is working hard to address the specific dietary needs of sailors and “warfighters,” which include the absence of any fried foods and plenty of vegetable options, according to Chief Warrant Officer Jeffrey Walker, the regional food service officer for Navy Region Mid-Atlantic.Beginning in Nov. 2025, the Navy began to test new technology to help streamline culinary practices aboard ships to ensure sailors had access…
