MoreNEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The late House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) was an accidental speaker.And it was a sheer accident that the world learned a dark secret about Hastert, years after he left Capitol Hill.It was twenty years ago, almost to the date. House Republicans were on the verge of losing their majority in the 2006 midterms. And their Speaker, Dennis Hastert, was in meltdown.HIGHEST-RANKING US OFFICIAL TO EVER SERVE JAIL TIME, FORMER HOUSE SPEAKER DENNIS HASTERT DEAD AT 84Word had just broken that then-Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL) had sent inappropriate messages to high school-age male teens, serving as House pages. The Republican-led House was meeting on September 29, 2006, trying to escape town so the GOP could defend their majority. But nothing was going right for Republicans. The public was growing weary of President George W. Bush and the war in Iraq. Democrats were poised to retake the House in November. Yours truly and Deirdre Walsh — then of CNN — spotted the portly Hastert lumbering across Statuary Hall toward the Speaker’s office.”Did he call you?” Walsh asked Hastert about Foley.”What are you going to do about it?” I inquired.”We’ll talk about that shortly,” mumbled…
Editor’s note: This is a developing story.Nidal Malik Hasan, a former Army officer and psychiatrist who killed 13 people and injured 32 others during a mass shooting at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009, will be executed by a U.S. Army firing squad, the Pentagon announced Monday. “Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has recommended — and President Donald J. Trump has approved — death by U.S. Army firing squad for convicted terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan, the jihadist who opened fire on unarmed American soldiers at Fort Hood in 2009,” Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell announced. “He killed 13 people and wounded 32 others while shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ during the attack.“The Secretary of the Army will set the time and place of the execution,” he continued. “Judgement day for Hasan has finally come.”If Hasan’s execution is indeed carried out by a firing squad, it would mark the first such case for the service since Jan. 31, 1945, when Pvt. Eddie D. Slovik was executed by a U.S. Army firing squad in France for desertion during World War II. The last carried out death sentence by the U.S. military was in 1961, when Army Pvt. John Bennett was executed by hanging at the…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Travelers could face new restrictions on smart glasses in one popular European destination.The government of Norway plans to propose a temporary ban on AI-enabled glasses in certain public places, according to a press release from the Norwegian Ministry of Digitalization and Public Governance.The restrictions could apply to places that travelers regularly visit — including beaches, parks, museums, shopping centers and public events, the press release said.CRIME, KIDNAPPINGS AND DRONE ATTACKS FLAGGED IN US WARNING FOR BORDER REGIONSmart glasses can be equipped with cameras and microphones capable of taking photos and recording video or audio.Norwegian officials said they are concerned the technology could allow people to be recorded without realizing it. “We do not want a society where people are concerned about hidden sound recordings, photography and filming in places and in situations where they are used to being without being monitored,” said Torgeir Micaelssen, minister of Digitalization and Public Administration.The proposed restrictions are not yet in effect. The government plans to bring legislation before Norway’s parliament, known as the Storting, as soon as possible.Officials are still determining exactly which devices and locations would be covered, including whether the rules would apply only…
As of July, the Pentagon had been prepping artificial intelligence tools that analyze text, voices and faces to estimate trustworthiness, according to declassified presentation slides and prior Defense Department statements. Now, Pentagon officials say that some of that AI is not part of the current revamp of the polygraph interview process, after Defense News asked for a response to concerns about the earlier statements and the slides. On Wednesday, the Pentagon’s Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency, or DCSA, which vets security clearance holders and applicants, said in an emailed statement that “active research and development” for the “Modernizing Polygraph” effort “does not incorporate generative super intelligence, also known as artificial intelligence,” that creates new content — such as emails, graphics or voiceovers. Nor does the effort include “large language models,” meaning chatbots like ChatGPT and other programs trained on giant data sets to engage in human conversation, DCSA added. And the research does not involve “facial action coding [of emotions], micro-expression analysis or vocal analyses,” the statement said. “While those technologies are not part of the effort,” DoD will “continue to monitor emerging scientific capabilities to evaluate their potential utility down the road.” DCSA did not address other types of…
With Caitlin Clark eliminated from the remainder of the WNBA playoffs, the sports media has naturally shifted its attention to its other favorite target: Bills superstar quarterback Josh Allen.Former ESPN host Bomani Jones has spent considerable energy trying to revive his media career by manufacturing a race war between fans of Allen and Lamar Jackson. Last month, Jones accused unnamed “white folks” of favoring Allen, despite acknowledging on multiple occasions that he favors Black quarterbacks.For the record, there is no evidence that white people broadly favor Allen over Jackson. That’s why Jones never gets around to naming these supposedly biased white people.Still, it’s amusing to watch how determined he is to make Allen vs. Jackson a thing. And because his brand requires him to side with the Black athlete no matter the facts, he frequently invokes a senseless double standard in an attempt to justify his position.Case in point: how he covered their game-losing interceptions this season. On Monday, Jones uploaded a YouTube clip belittling Allen under the headline “Josh Allen Is Still THAT Guy…” During his critique, Jones called Allen a “moron” and suggested the Bills had made a mistake by deciding to live with his occasional recklessness.”Look, [the…

MoreWe put ForgeLine Solutions Performance Fieldwear to the test.Those who have served—particularly in the SOF community—look upon ForgeLine Solutions fondly. The apparel born of Patagonia’s Lost Arrow Project served with recognition from Kabal to Kandahar and Baghdad to Balad.Whether deployed for firefights, room clearings or intelligence-gathering operations, the clothing proved to be a durable, engineered asset that worked seamlessly to help high-risk missions come to fruition. That’s a hell of a pedigree, one that the company aims to carry on now in a civilian role.Launched earlier this year, the ForgeLine Performance Fieldwear aims to extend high performance to Joes—the everyday variety, not G.I. I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek at the duds at the 2026 SHOT Show and was even luckier to get a set of the series recently to test in my very mission-possible day-to-day life.Certainly, hauling lumber, stacking slash piles, enjoying some range time and getting a little shore fishing in didn’t push the Performance line to its brink. But it was more than enough to convince me ForgeLine is on to something with what they’ve stitched up for the consumer market.Initial ImpressionSimilar to hunting clothes, the ForgeLine Performance apparel wasn’t conceived as standalone garments.…
Selecting the right bandwagon to hop on isn’t an easy process. Sometimes it requires punching numbers, sometimes it requires trusting your gut. With either approach, there aren’t any guarantees.In this Sunday edition of Screencaps, we take a look at a bandwagon selection that didn’t work out. The bandwagon selection that World Cup superstar Ivana Knoll made.She had already put in a valiant effort in support of Croatia. Unfortunately, her home country came up short and was bounced by Portugal in the Round of 32.WORLD CUP COMES BETWEEN PROFESSIONAL SOCCER COUPLE, SHE LOSES AND HE GETS KICKED OUT OF BED Following Croatia’s exit, Ivana had a decision to make. Would she take her balls, go home, and call it a World Cup? Would she show up for the love of the game anyway, or would she hop on a bandwagon?She decided to hop on Norway’s bandwagon.Ivana got her hands on a bikini with their flag on it then announced that with their quarterfinal against England taking place in her city, that she would be heading out to Hard Rock Stadium to support them.Another strong effort by Ivana Knoll, wasted by the team that she put her skimpy outfit behind. Norway lost…
Security can be defined as a state of being free from danger or threat. With the liberalization of concealed carry laws, a great many citizens have jumped on the bandwagon and taken a big step toward ensuring their personal safety. Although a concealed handgun does give you greater potential to control your immediate environment, it is merely part of a much bigger picture. Many other factors can come into play. Like many readers, I have taken responsibility for my own destiny and carry a concealed handgun on a daily basis. As a career law enforcement officer, I was also trained in a number of other force options and was able to achieve instructor certifications in several diverse disciplines. My point is that most armed citizens haven’t had these same opportunities and are at a serious deficit in an unexpected, violent encounter. Common sense can keep you out of most trouble. If it doesn’t, you need a plan. Image: Shutterstock/ChameleonsEye Many of us are familiar with that old proverb “if your only tool is a hammer, all your problems begin to look like nails.” Clearly, your gun should not be that hammer. Personal security requires a multi-dimensional approach. Understand the fact that…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A political adviser to Graham Platner’s now-defunct Senate campaign is facing scrutiny after saying the team urged him to end his candidacy “as soon” as it learned of a rape allegation — despite the campaign publicly denying the claim before Platner suspended his run two days later.”As soon as the team became aware of the rape allegations against Graham Platner, we advised he suspend his candidacy, and in the following days worked to wind down the campaign,” Platner political adviser Morris Katz wrote on X Wednesday.The allegation, first reported by Politico on Monday, came from Maine resident Jenny Racicot, who said Platner raped her in 2021.
