NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Democratic senators are still backing Maine Senate nominee Troy Jackson, who replaced former candidate Graham Platner on the ballot, after the latest allegations threaten to yet again shake up the race for U.S. Senate in the Pine Tree State.Platner, following a series of scandals culminating in sexual misconduct claims, was forced to drop out ahead of the Democratic primary to take on Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, earlier this summer. But now, a bombshell report claims Platner’s replacement fathered two children with his second cousin.The recent report wasn’t enough to turn lawmakers against Jackson, with most stressing the necessity for Democrats to win swing state races in order to win back a majority in the upper chamber — not an easy feat in Maine where Collins, a moderate, has represented the state in the Senate since 1997.Maine’s other senator, independent Angus King, said: “I have no idea what you’re talking about and I’m not going to comment on it anyway.” Every senator that Fox News Digital spoke with on the issue this week denied having knowledge of the report.”I don’t know anything about that, but what I do know is that we have…

MoreJack Wolf Knives has a new locking model lined up for release later this month, the Feelbetter Jack. This one modernizes a lesser-seen pattern, the doctor’s knife, for everyday carry. The doctor’s knife pattern is one for the cutlery cognoscenti, with not nearly as much circulation as some of its historical peers. It is so named because – surprise surprise – doctors would use it; the original version featured two implements, a long-ish main blade and a spatula for sorting pills and powders. Speaking of powders, the bolstered butt end was used to crush up pills when the need arose. In more modern times, the doctor’s knife more likely ended up in the pockets of EDC users with an appreciation for something a little different. Always cool to see Kirinite in a lineup To answer your first question: no, this is not the first Jack Wolf model with a pill spatula. The Feelbetter Jack forgoes the secondary implement, giving center stage to the main blade, a 3.38-inch sheepsfoot with a high-powered hollow grind. It’s made from S90V steel, so overall this is one of those blades that you just know will be an aggressive slicer. The handle does feature the…
After declaring Iran’s recent peace proposal as a “piece of garbage,” United States President Donald Trump considers new strikes against Tehran. With the standoff ongoing, many fear that the war will reignite with new strikes. On Monday, Trump provided a glimpse into the dire state of diplomacy between the US and Iran, saying that “the ceasefire is on massive life support” while dismissing the recent peace proposal from Tehran as a “piece of garbage” that he said he “didn’t even finish reading.” CNN reported on Tuesday, citing sources, that Trump has grown “increasingly frustrated” with Iran’s handling of negotiations, while several US officials are questioning whether Tehran is willing to engage at all. CNN further alleged that Trump is “now more seriously considering a resumption of major combat operations.” The report added that the stance is shared by some of the Pentagon officials who believe the continued strikes could soften Iran’s position. A major decision before Trump’s departure to China is unlikely. The 1,600 ships still stranded in the Gulf are causing major concerns for food security and fuel prices worldwide. Trump had promised to break the standoff in the Strait of Hormuz with what he called “Project Freedom,” but recently abandoned the idea. The…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Matthew Rhys is sounding off on the public behavior driving him “bananas.””The Americans” star isn’t hiding his irritation with one modern habit that’s seemingly pushed him over the edge — people blasting videos, music and FaceTime calls in public like everyone else signed up for the experience.”Do you have any pet peeves?” Rhys was asked in a Wall Street Journal interview.”What is driving me bananas these days are people who watch things on their phones without headphones,” Rhys said. “I’m turning into my dad, but I feel like I have to start saying to people, ‘Excuse me, do you have headphones?’ Because if we’re not schooling people, it’s going to become more rampant than it already is, and it is out of control.”‘ENTOURAGE’ STAR JEREMY PIVEN SAYS PEOPLE ARE TOO EASILY TRIGGERED AND NEED TO HEAR EACH OTHER OUT The actor’s solution to modern overstimulation is about as unplugged as it gets.”What do you do to relax?” he was asked.”If it’s not on the water—if it’s not a kayak or sail or something like that—then horses are big for me,” Rhys explained. “You just get to be quiet and in nature.

A waterway sign that reads “Open. Closed. Open.” A helicopter bearing the name “Kid Rock Force One.” Oil barrels that collectively spell out “LUBE.”Such are the art features wrapping three recently installed arcade games — also available to play online — at the District of Columbia War Memorial in the nation’s capital, the latest protest by the anonymous group Secret Handshake, which previously made headlines in September after installing a statue on the National Mall depicting President Donald Trump holding hands and skipping with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The new installation’s game, officially called “Operation Epic Furious: Strait To Hell,” was developed as a response to the administration’s repeated use of video game footage to highlight military successes in Iran, the group told WUSA9. One such post featured video from strikes in Iran interspersed with game footage from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The post, shared on March 6 by the White House’s official account, came just five days after six U.S. soldiers were killed by an Iranian drone strike at Kuwait’s Port of Shuaiba. Similar posts include one featuring airstrikes alongside footage from Nintendo Wii, and another depicting a bowling alley-style “STRIKE” animation alongside war footage. “The game…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Marty Makary is resigning from his position Tuesday, a White House official told Fox News Digital. The official said that Makary’s resignation has to do with “process at the FDA” and not a specific issue, and said there is “no bad blood” between President Donald Trump and the outgoing commissioner. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pushed for Makary’s resignation, according to the White House official. Kyle Diamantis, FDA deputy commissioner for Food, will serve as acting commissioner, Fox News Digital learned. TRUMP PICKS DR. MARTY MAKARY AS FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION COMMISSIONER Makary’s resignation followed mounting pressure from pro-life advocates and administration critics who had grown frustrated with his handling of several high-profile FDA decisions and claims he has slow-rolled MAHA initiatives, according to media reports in recent weeks.The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that the president had reportedly already signed off on a plan to fire Makary, citing three familiar sources who cited Makary’s handling of abortion and drug policy. “I’ve been reading about it, but I know nothing about it,” Trump said the same day after he was asked by reporters if Makary…
Back in 2022, on our way to an Airbnb we rented for the weekend, my husband and I drove past Lookout Mountain Flight Park. A small, unassuming building stood next to a concrete launch ramp — where three hang gliders were lined up on the edge of a steep, towering cliff.”Would you ever…?”He didn’t even have to finish his question. “Absolutely not,” I said. “Not in a million years.”CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE FROM OUTKICK And by a million years, I guess I actually meant four. Because last weekend, we pulled up to that same flight park. Except this time, I had a reservation for a tandem flight.I went into this experience completely blind. What even is hang gliding? Is there a way to steer? Does this thing have a motor or do you just sort of get a running start and hurl yourself off the mountain? A mystery to me.Along with a group of seven other people, I was directed to a back room, where we were promptly handed clipboards with paperwork to sign. Waivers to acknowledge that — although safety is the No. 1 priority for Lookout Mountain Flight Park — gliding 1,500 feet above the ground in…
The United States has spent an estimated $29 billion in the war against Iran, the Pentagon said Tuesday, as senior defense officials appeared on Capitol Hill for back-to-back budget hearings.Jules Hurst III, the Defense Department’s acting comptroller, said the increase from $25 billion just two weeks ago reflects “updated repair and replacement of equipment costs,” along with the “general operational costs” of sustaining forces in the theater.Hurst emphasized that the projection does not include expenditures for repairing damaged military installations in the region.“We have a lot of unknowns there,” he said. “We don’t know what our future posture is going to be. We don’t know how we construct those bases, and we don’t know what part our allies or partners could pay into our MILCON costs.” The tenuous month-long ceasefire in the Middle East hangs in the balance after President Donald Trump on Monday dismissed Tehran’s latest proposal to end the war as “garbage.” Hours later, the Speaker of Iran’s parliament warned that the country stands ready to “deliver a lesson-teaching response” to any act of aggression. Despite a declared truce, the two sides have continued to exchange limited fire near the Strait of Hormuz. The Islamic Republic launched missiles,…
