This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream.  Massive explosions are being reported all over Iran as the U.S. conducts airstrikes in Iranian territory for a second night in a row. This isn’t exactly a surprise because just hours ago President Trump declared that the ceasefire is “over” and he openly warned that “we’re going to hit them hard again tonight”. Of course, the Iranians have absolutely no intention of backing down. They are reportedly preparing a very large response, and they are considering moves that would definitely take this conflict to the next level. What all of this means is that Iran War 3 is here. The first war with Iran was the “12-Day War” that stretched from June 13th, 2025, to June 24th, 2025. That war was just a preview of coming attractions. Iran War 2 began on February 28th, 2026, and it concluded with a ceasefire on April 8th, 2026. It was quite a bit more intense than the “12 Day War”, but I am entirely convinced that Iran War 3 will dwarf both of them. Now that missiles are flying all over the Middle East, it appears that there will be…

After more than five decades of carrying Marines to shore, the U.S. Marine Corps’ assault amphibious vehicle made its final appearance this month during a military exercise in Romania before beginning its next task defending allied countries in the Black Sea region, the Marine Corps said in a Thursday release.The AAV-P7, or AAV, affectionately known to Marines as Trax, is being replaced by the amphibious combat vehicle. But rather than being retired to storage, the battle-tested tracked vehicles are slated to be transferred to partner nations by experienced instructors. The AAV entered the service in 1972 and morphed into a mainstay of Corps’ amphibious assault capabilities for decades. It has undergone multiple upgrades over the years and saw combat in Lebanon and Iraq. The platform was officially decommissioned in September 2025.At the exercise, the AAV was used in doctrinal roles, such as a mechanized assault platform, a logistics carrier and a direct fire asset. The Corps said it was being tested among drones, which have changed the nature of war drastically since the vehicle was first introduced.For many marines, the Trax was the center of their careers, and its retirement marked an emotional end to what was more than a…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Kawhi Leonard isn’t going to Toronto just yet.Last week, Leonard’s Los Angeles Clippers agreed to a trade that would send him to the Toronto Raptors, where he won a championship in 2019. However, the trade is reportedly on hold until the NBA’s investigation into the Clippers is complete.Leonard is accused of receiving off-the-books money through an apparent endorsement deal to help the Clippers circumvent the salary cap. “For the past 10 months, our organization has fully cooperated with an NBA investigation, participating in dozens of interviews, providing tens of thousands of documents, and facilitating access to our staff. While the process has been challenging, we have remained committed to transparency,” the Clippers said in a statement to ESPN.”On June 30, we reached an agreement in principle to trade Kawhi Leonard to the Toronto Raptors. We have since been informed that the trade can only be finalized if the Raptors’ ownership group assumes the risk of penalties related to Kawhi’s contract that could theoretically result from the ongoing investigation.”The investigation is ongoing, and we expect the trade to be finalized following its conclusion.”In the statement, the Clippers denied any wrongdoing.

The world’s oldest commissioned warship is still afloat — thanks to a forest in Indiana. The USS Constitution, named by George Washington and built with copper bolts forged by Paul Revere, was launched in 1797. The three-masted heavy frigate earned is famous nickname — “Old Ironsides” — during the War of 1812 after an astonished American sailor reportedly watched British cannonballs bounce harmlessly off the ship’s exceptionally thick oak hull and shouted, “Huzzah, her sides are made of iron!” according to the National Park Service.While the wooden ship remains a symbol of durability and strength, its longevity would not be possible without a special 40 acres of land set aside for the care and maintenance of the ship from Naval Support Activity Crane. According to National Geographic, NSA Crane dates back to the Franklin D. Roosevelt New Deal-era, when the U.S. government, in the depths of the Great Depression, purchased unfarmable land across the U.S. and reforested them for the purpose of creating jobs. NSA Crane was among the plots of land purchased by the FDR administration, and its 40,000 acres of hills was soon swarming with workers planting a wide variety of oak, hickory, poplar, maple and ash trees…

“Universal Basic Capital” is a much-needed solution to the continued advancement of artificial intelligence technology’s consistent advancement. Universal basic income (UBI) was a popular topic years ago, especially as AI gained a foothold in the economy, beginning to replace human workers; however, the newer UBC concept is now gaining traction. According to a report by The Atlantic, the idea has been endorsed by figures as ideologically diverse as Bernie Sanders, Gavin Newsom, Steve Bannon, Sam Altman, and even Donald Trump. In both cases, UBI and UBC are policies that would give every single human a baseline salary, whether they contribute to society or not. If the wealth generated by artificial intelligence will accrue only to the owners of AI companies, then the way to avoid catastrophic levels of inequality is to give everyone an ownership stake in those companies. The Atlantic goes on to say that if this is done the right way, it’ll hedge against a future dystopia created by AI. However, it’ll create a new dystopia, full of humans enlaved by the UBI they will rely on to remain alive. Experts Warn of Widespread Job Losses and Global Power Struggles Amid AI Advancements The Stagflation Trap Will Lead…

The U.S. Army is consolidating its official social media presence, drastically slashing the number of allowable accounts and ordering commanders to remove newly-unauthorized accounts within 30 days, the service announced in a late-June memorandum.The directive, signed by Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll, limits official social media accounts to a set list of higher-level organizations, effectively ending the digital footprints of many subordinate units. In a Wednesday statement, the Army said the move was intended to “ensure a clear, unified voice, reduce operational risk, and improve information access for Soldiers, Families and the public.” The service said the policy does not end documentation at the unit level and that content will be published through higher-level accounts and official Army platforms.Fewer than 30 organizations are authorized to maintain social media accounts. Bases — which often published relevant traffic and safety updates — are not included. Recruiting stations, which previously used social media as part of a recruitment strategy, have also been left off the list, and Morale Welfare and Recreation offices on posts are similarly not permitted to have their own accounts. Exceptions to policy may be considered, the memorandum said, if they “demonstrate a mission critical imperative unmet by existing…
