MoreIn the past week, some Coast Guard families have had their electricity shut off as a result of unpaid bills. The Coast Guard, which oversees 6,000 family housing units, has been “begging” utility providers to keep the power and water on during a partial government shutdown that has hampered the service’s ability to pay its bills, Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Kevin Lunday said Tuesday.Coasties scheduled to move this summer also have mounting credit debt as a result of restrictions on advanced pay for travel, and some have postponed medical treatment or delayed major expenses to avoid costs.Civilian Coast Guard employees have fared even worse, according to leadership. One civil servant told Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard Phil Waldron that he sold his car to pay his rent in Ketchikan, Alaska, before emergency funding became available.“Our total workforce has spent a majority of this fiscal year operating under uncertainty, fear and anger caused by a lapse of appropriations,” Waldron said during a hearing Tuesday on the Coast Guard budget. “The dangerous missions that our folks conduct every day … require their complete and total focus. That focus is dangerously fractured when they’re worried about paying their rent or…
United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that the Iranian government is using the Strait of Hormuz as an “economic nuclear weapon”. Rubio added that the U.S. ruling class will not allow Iran to continue to use the vital waterway to control the direction of the war. According to multiple sources, including Axios, Iran has passed a new offer to Washington, which includes a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war, while deferring nuclear negotiations to a later stage. While speaking on Fox News on Monday, as reported by RT, Rubio was skeptical of the latest overture. “If what they mean by opening the straits is, ‘Yes, the straits are open, as long as you coordinate with Iran, get our permission, or we’ll blow you up, and you pay us’ – that’s not opening the straits,” he said. Rubio also argued that Iran’s control over the waterway would create a dangerous precedent. “This is not the Suez Canal, this is not the Panama Canal, these are international waters. And if that’s normalized, not only does that set a precedent in the Middle East, it sets a precedent all over the world,” he argued, calling the strait “the…

Folks, I hope you’re having a better day than I am. I woke up to a sick dog this morning. And I’ll spare you the gross details, but I will say there are much better things to be doing at 5:30 a.m. than throwing blankets in the laundry and scrubbing excrement off the floors.We think Rocky is recovering from an anxious tummy because — for the first time ever — we boarded him over the weekend. Not in one of those doggy prisons that leave him in a cage all day. No, no. I paid a premium to make sure he was comfortable with a highly rated trainer in Brentwood with a big backyard, comfy couches and a pool.And I’m still paying for it, apparently. OUTKICKSo why did we board him this weekend? I’m so glad you asked! My husband and I spent a couple nights in North Georgia — at a hotel too fancy to have your 80-pound German Shepherd shedding all over the sheets — as a bit of a belated third anniversary celebration. And while we took full advantage of the resort (if you know what I mean), we also spent a good portion of Saturday in…
The Pentagon’s fiscal 2027 budget request seeks 85 F-35 Lightning II fighters across the joint force, up from 47 in fiscal 2026. The increase would mark the largest single-year F-35 buy from the Pentagon since fiscal 2022 and a sharp reversal from last year’s reduced procurement.The headline number depends on Congress passing a separate funding bill. Only 32 of the 85 requested aircraft are funded through the base discretionary budget. The remaining 53 are tied to a $350 billion mandatory funding request that the administration plans to pursue through a second reconciliation bill, alongside the $1.15 trillion base topline. That bill has not yet been introduced.House Speaker Mike Johnson has acknowledged that a second reconciliation bill could be a tough sell, and some House Republicans have pushed back on the idea after the One Big Beautiful Bill Act cleared Congress last year.If the bill fails, the F-35 buy could plummet to 32 aircraft, below even the fiscal 2026 baseline of 47.As proposed, the 85-aircraft buy breaks down to 38 F-35As for the Air Force, 37 F-35Cs for the Navy and Marine Corps, and 10 F-35Bs for the Marine Corps, according to the Department of War’s FY2027 Procurement Programs (P-1) book.…

It reinforced something most armed citizens intuitively sense but rarely see laid out this clearly: Much of what we believe about crime in America is either incomplete, misleading or simply wrong.Hearne holds a master’s degree in criminal justice with a concentration in research methods, a public safety career stretching back to 1986 across fire, police, EMS and more than a decade as a federal law enforcement officer. He’s a published author and rangemaster instructor since 2001. What followed over two hours was one of the most grounded and practically valuable presentations I’ve sat through in years of firearms training.His seminar isn’t about tactics or gear. It focuses on something more foundational: the reality of crime, how criminals think and how ordinary people become victims. For anyone serious about personal defense, this is where the conversation should start.The First Hard Truth: The Data Isn’t What You ThinkMost people assume FBI crime statistics…

The Tampa Bay Lightning and Boston Bruins started the month of February with a goalie fight during their Stadium Series matchup at the home of the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers.In the second period, with the Lightning down three goals, Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman challenged Lightning star Andrei Vasilevskiy as both teams were breaking out into a scrum anyway. Both players threw down their gloves and their helmets and the bell rang. Vasilevskiy got ahold of Swayman and threw a couple of shots with his left.

I was like, ‘Oh my God.’ I didn’t want to be the other guy,” Tampa Bay’s Nikita Kucherov told reporters, via ESPN. “I was so happy. I was so fired up. I think the bench felt it.

HONG KONG — The United States and Taiwan are expected to roll out their latest hardware and use elite Taiwanese troops under a joint project to prepare for asymmetric warfare in case the island government’s long-time political rival China attacks, according to military experts.That effort, the Joint Firepower Cooperation Center, as first reported by Taiwan’s United Daily News late last month, would help coordinate a Taiwanese defense against the People’s Liberation Army forces ahead of 2027, when some American think tanks believe China will have sufficient attack capability.The United States would likely offer military equipment made by some of its major contractors to the Joint Firepower Cooperation Center, the latest preparedness measure as Beijing steps up military pressure, according to Taiwanese media reports and analysts in Taipei.Northrop Grumman, for example, has already installed a medium-caliber ammunition test range in Taiwan, letting the island’s defense ministry run tests on “global industry standards” and allowing transfers of technology to support home-grown hardware, the de facto U.S. embassy, the American Institute in Taiwan, wrote on its website on Jan. 22.Fellow American contractor Anduril has also set up an “initiative” to find local suppliers for key components for its Ghost-X autonomous air vehicle, the…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The American people are being lied to about artificial intelligence (AI).

On the other, we hear utopian fantasies of a future without toil, without sickness, perhaps even without death—a life without meaning or mission.The utopians and the doomers commit the same error: they neglect human agency. The future of AI is not an inevitability to be endured by the American people—it is for us, the American people, to shape. AI is not a divinity.
