The U.S. Marine Corps has pioneered a 3D-printed first-person view drone that is easy to assemble, ready for field use and conforms to national security standards.Sgt. Henry David Volpe, an automotive technician with the 2nd Marine Logistics Group, used his interest in engineering and robotics to help develop HANX, the Marine Corps’ first unmanned aircraft system built from 3D-printed parts to be approved by the National Defense Authorization Act, service officials announced last month. Fortunately, for both the Marines and for Volpe, he found an outlet for his passion for robotics when he was assigned to the II Marine Expeditionary Force Innovation Campus at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.“I immediately went over to the innovation campus, shook hands with the master sergeant, and said, ‘I want to work over here, I’ve got experience with this,’” Volpe said, according to a Jan. 28 release.The result was HANX, which derives its name from Volpe’s nickname “Hank.” The drone, approved for use by U.S. Naval Air Systems Command, features a simple and low-cost design that is easy for Marines to assemble using 3D-printing technology. Further, HANX is NDAA compliant, meaning it’s not assembled from unapproved parts from foreign manufacturers that could contain security vulnerabilities.…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! “The View” co-hosts argued Friday that Americans who watch Turning Point USA’s (TPUSA) alternative to the Super Bowl halftime show are doing so out of racism. While discussing whether Bad Bunny’s upcoming performance at the big game will be political, co-host Sara Haines said, “At the end of the day, this is a business model. Nobody is looking to make moral statements. They picked Bad Bunny because he was the most-streamed artist of 2025, with over 19.8 billion streams. They picked the guy that will draw in the people to watch the halftime show. It’s that simple. It’s not political. The people tuning in know it’s good music. It’s a talented artist —””Will he say something political?” co-host Joy Behar interjected.”His existence is being made political — that’s the point,” Haines replied. “The problem is anyone watching the Turning Point show — it’s only political. So if you’re watching the halftime show, and you get awesome music, and if you’re watching Turning Point, it’s because you’re choosing to be political.”KAROLINE LEAVITT SAYS TRUMP PREFERS NOT TO WATCH BAD BUNNY AT SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW Kid Rock appeared Monday on “The Charlie Kirk Show”…

Both the United States and Russia are seeking to resolve the New START nuclear treaty issue diplomatically. The now-expired nuclear reduction deal is getting a new boost, and it’s happening alongside peace talks. Moscow and Washington are working on a deal to continue the New START nuclear reduction treaty, Axios reported on Thursday, citing three sources familiar with the issue. The Strategic Arms Control Agreement officially expired on February 5. Not only are the two nuclear superpowers working to generate another treaty, but both have also agreed to continue to follow the current treaty even after its expiration. According to a report by RT, the treaty expiration was reportedly discussed on the sidelines of the Ukraine peace talks in Abu Dhabi. According to the Axios report, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff discussed the issue with the Russian delegation on the sidelines of the Ukraine peace talks in Abu Dhabi. “We agreed with Russia to operate in good faith and to start a discussion about ways it could be updated,” a US official told the media outlet. Another source claimed that the sides had agreed to observe the treaty’s terms for at least six months as the…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Gus Kenworthy, a British-American Olympic skier who is set to compete for Great Britain in freestyle skiing, posted a graphic anti-ICE message on his social media as opening ceremonies were set to begin for the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics on Friday.Kenworthy posted a photo on his Instagram that showed the words “f— ICE” on snow in what appeared to be urine. He urged Americans to call their senators to pressure them into voting against Department of Homeland Security funding negotiations. “Innocent people have been murdered, and enough is enough,” he captioned the post. “We can’t wait around while ICE continues to operate with unchecked power in our communities. Senators still have leverage right now, and Senator [Name] must use it to demand real guardrails and accountability — including getting ICE and CBP out of our communities, ending blank-check funding for brutality, and establishing clear limits on warrantless arrests, profiling, and enforcement at sensitive locations like schools and hospitals.”The International Olympic Committee (IOC) said Kenworthy wouldn’t be punished for his political viewpoint.EX-RUSSIAN OLYMPIC COACH RETURNS TO SPOTLIGHT AT 2026 WINTER GAMES DESPITE DOPING SHADOW “During the Olympic Games, all participants have the opportunity…

With the focus on short-barreled-everything, we figured it only appropriate to spend a little time talking about the legal process to obtain your very own not-so-long gun. One way is to wait for a regular tax stamp, another is to complete an ATF Form 1 eFile. Despite the undisputed sex appeal of SBRs, the extraneous red tape required to get one is more than a little intimidating at times. In a rare stroke of common sense, the ATF has established an electronic system for filing some of their NFA-related forms, including the Form 1 “Application to Make and Register a Firearm.” This is the form to use when you are making an SBR yourself. If you’re purchasing a factory-configured SBR, you’ll need to file a Form 4, which is a separate process. It should be noted that “making” a firearm doesn’t require a professional assembly line or QC shop. Slapping a store-bought 10.5-inch AR upper on a lower you already own counts as “making” a firearm. In this case, you’d simply file a Form 1 to get the lower approved to take shorty uppers. The screenshots you see here were for the registration of a spare Palmetto State Armory lower.…
