NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The Indianapolis Colts’ biggest injury from their first preseason game might not have been to a player, but rather to a coach.Colts special teams coordinator Brian Mason was taken out on the final play of scrimmage in the team’s 13-13 tie with the New England Patriots on Thursday night at Gillette Stadium.Mason, 39, unsuccessfully tried to avoid the Patriots and Colts players who were barreling toward the sideline. He appeared to get hit down low and was then writhing on the ground in pain. “He got rolled up right on the sideline that last play,” Colts head coach Shane Steichen said postgame. “So we’ll see. He’s getting evaluated for his knee right now.”Mason is entering his fourth season as the team’s special teams coordinator. Last season, his unit was strong, as the Colts ranked second in the NFL in kickoff return average (28.8) and had the lowest opponent punt return average (6.3).ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH.

KYIV, Ukraine — Though U.S. President Donald Trump promised Kyiv a license to build Patriot missile interceptors last month, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon have begun putting the brakes on a joint-production deal as executives weigh what is “feasible” and the licensing runs into Washington’s red tape.American officials are backpedaling too. Trump on July 20 told the Financial Times that the U.S. has to be “a little bit careful of who we license to.” Despite that, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday posted on X that the two sides have “now reached an agreement.”The glacial progress may reflect American defense giants’ fear that Kyiv could become a defense industry competitor — rather than posing risk to technology or intellectual property — a Republican official on Capitol Hill told The Atlantic.“Their real worry is that the Ukrainians will find a way to improve the Patriot and then produce them at scale faster and for much less money than what the existing production lines in the U.S. could do,” the official said, adding that the companies will publicly frame their concerns around “IP theft and tech transfer” instead. Ukraine’s weapons industry, honed by nearly five years of Russia’s full-scale invasion, has been booming…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Elephants are widely adored by many people today — but a recent study suggests early humans were butchering them for survival nearly 2 million years ago.A group of international researchers found what they describe as “the earliest direct evidence of proboscidean butchery,” including a newly identified elephant butchery site, according to an article published in the spring in the journal eLife.Modern elephants are the only living proboscideans today — a group that once included woolly mammoths and mastodons. The animal bones belonged to Elephas recki, an extinct elephant species.ANCIENT HUMANS WERE HUNTING AND EATING SHARKS 7,000 YEARS AGO, BURIAL SITE DISCOVERY SHOWSThe research centers on Olduvai Gorge, a site in northern Tanzania’s Serengeti Plains known for major discoveries of early human fossils and tools.At the site, excavators found stone tools alongside bones of ancient elephants — and the recent paper, written by archaeologists and paleoanthropologists, suggests the remains were likely deliberately butchered by early human ancestors. The bones date back some 1.8 million years, during the early Pleistocene epoch.Though researchers have observed evidence of humans hunting large megafauna in later periods, the discovery suggests that early humans processed elephant carcasses more systematically.”The…

White House deputy national security adviser Andy Baker will leave the Trump administration in the coming weeks, marking the latest change to a national security team that has undergone a shake-up in recent months.National security officials in Washington widely view Baker, who also served as a national security adviser to Vice President JD Vance, as a low-key but influential figure inside the White House.A former State Department official, academic and Vance adviser when the vice president was in the Senate, Baker had historically advocated for a more restrained American foreign policy that questioned the wisdom of long-term foreign conflicts.He was also among the figures who helped craft Vance’s speech to the Munich Security Conference last year, during which the vice president warned European leaders that alleged censorship and democratic backsliding posed risks as severe to the continent as external threats, like those posed by China and Russia.“I’m proud of everything we’ve achieved and, of course, am incredibly grateful to the President, Vice President and Secretary Rubio,” Baker wrote in a statement provided to Reuters. “I’ll never be far away.”In separate statements, Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio praised the outgoing deputy national security adviser, whose departure was first reported…

Controversial socialist Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is facing fresh scrutiny after it was revealed that his close relative is a far-left professor who was arrested on a felony charge last year for her role in an anti-ICE riot.Eman Abdelhadi is a polarizing figure. She works as an associate professor at the University of Chicago’s Department of Comparative Human Development, and has a years-long history of landing in the national spotlight for radical activism and inflammatory statements.She’s also El-Sayed’s half sister.MICHIGAN SENATE CANDIDATE ABDUL EL-SAYED DODGES QUESTION ON WHETHER HE STILL SUPPORTS DEFUNDING THE POLICE Last fall, as leftist zealots spent months protesting, sometimes violently, outside an ICE detention facility in suburban Chicago, Abdelhadi was booked after an allegedly spitting on an Illinois sate trooper.

A bag belonging to a traveler tripped TSA alarms on July 18 after officers discovered Civil War-era cannonballs in the individual’s luggage, the first cannon-related mishap since JPMorgan’s polarizing legal proceedings. Roll Tide. The inert cannonballs, which were — naturally — wrapped in paper towels, were discovered during the baggage screening process at Alabama’s Gulf Shores International Airport and later determined by police to have been stolen from the nearby coastal stronghold Fort Morgan. “My first thought was, ‘I couldn’t see a fuse and need to get some help quick,’” TSA officer Justin Dupree recalled in a release. “I couldn’t see the entire item but was scared I might have been holding a live explosive.”Dupree noted the antique artillery projectiles ranged in size, with the largest comparable to a grapefruit. “I had never seen anything quite this unique,” Dupree said. “I’ve seen inert grenades and training munitions but never an Indiana Jones-esque stolen artifact-type situation.”A TSA explosives specialist and the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office were subsequently notified and determined that the cannonballs posed no threat. Law enforcement investigating the incident stated the passenger claimed to be unaware of how the projectiles were acquired. The cannonballs were later returned to Fort…

The Navy last week announced its latest round of guidance regarding facial hair grooming requirements and religious and medical accommodations. Commands are now instructed to produce monthly facial hair accountability reports, specifically for those service members diagnosed with skin conditions such as Pseudofolliculitis Barbae, or razor bumps, according to the July 31 NavAdmin.Commanding officers are instructed to maintain a log of personnel requiring medical facial hair treatment plans, the memo said. Commands must then “forward a Facial Hair Accommodation Accountability Report using Excel Spreadsheet by the 15th of each month, commencing August 2026.”The updated July 31 memo expands upon the July 7 order in which the Navy announced that active duty and reserve sailors granted facial hair accommodations will be allowed to receive medical treatment for up to 12 months under new Navy grooming standards. If irritation from shaving is deemed incurable after 12 months, sailors will be evaluated for discharge.Per the latest memo, the duration of treatment plans may not exceed 90 days at a time, with four consecutive 90-day waivers constituting 12 months of consecutive treatment. Those approved for accommodation must carry a copy of the signed paperwork on their persons during periods of no shaving associated with…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The devastating 2025 Los Angeles wildfires reduced thousands of homes to rubble. But the survival of one family’s Virgin Mary statue became a viral sensation, symbolizing the resilience of a community engulfed in flames.Host Abby Hornacek uncovers the Halpin family’s remarkable story in the brand-new, three-part Fox Nation series, ‘Unexplained Mysteries of Faith.’ In the final episode of the show, she visits Altadena to speak with Peter Halpin and his wife, Jackie, who recount the story of how their Virgin Mary statue survived destruction — and the viral hymn they sang around it.”It was totally unintended,” Halpin said. “As a matter of fact, we all just stood around. We said a family prayer that we say together, and then we decided to sing that song.”WORLD-FAMOUS CATHOLIC SHRINE TORCHED, ‘DEVIL IN A SKIRT’ SCRAWLED ON VIRGIN MARY STATUE The Halpins reflected on how the comfort of their singing helped them through the initial shock of losing their house, and remarked that the statue’s survival also impacted others.”Being in that kind of state where you just lost your home and [are] in shock,” he continued. “I think it gave a lot of people hope,…

The Defense Department on Monday announced framework agreements with Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin aimed at expanding production of critical Patriot and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or THAAD, interceptor components as the military seeks to replenish missile inventories through expanded, long-term production capacity.The agreements come as demand for Patriot and THAAD interceptors has increased following conflicts in Iran and Ukraine that strained U.S. missile inventories. They also come days after a Center for Strategic and International Studies analysis estimated the United States had depleted roughly two-thirds of its pre-war Patriot interceptor inventory during the conflict with Iran.Defense officials said the agreements are intended to support the department’s long-term procurement objective of nearly 14,000 Patriot and THAAD interceptors by providing sustained demand signals to critical suppliers throughout the defense industrial base. The initiative is designed to triple production capacity for Patriot Advanced Capability-3, or PAC-3, Missile Segment Enhancement interceptors and quadruple production capacity for THAAD interceptors.DoD said it will work directly with key component suppliers instead of relying solely on prime contractors, encouraging investment in advanced tooling, facility modernization and workforce development needed to sustain higher production rates.“Building the Arsenal of Freedom requires robust, dynamic supply chains at every level…

The U.S. Navy relieved the commanding officer of the Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine USS West Virginia on Thursday, the service announced.Cmdr. Joseph Sammur was relieved due to a “loss of confidence in his ability to command” and was reassigned to Submarine Group 10. Sammur assumed command of the submarine on Aug. 14, 2025.“The relief of the CO does not impact the ship’s mission or schedule,” the Navy said.Submarine Squadron 20 Deputy for Training Cmdr. Luke Kelvington will take over as interim commanding officer.The West Virginia is currently undergoing maintenance in port at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay in Georgia.The Navy did not specify the reasons or circumstances that led to the ousting, but the service generally uses “loss of confidence” as a blanket statement when dismissing senior leadership.In June, the Navy fired three top officials at an overseas maintenance center after losing confidence in their ability to command.And in February, the Navy relieved the commanding officer of the destroyer USS Mason for the same reason.Riley Ceder is a reporter at Military Times, where he covers breaking news, criminal justice, investigations, and cyber.

In today’s article, Beyond Seclusion reviews the new Springfield Kuna chambered for the .40-caliber cartridge. Developed specifically for international law enforcement use, this PDW is now being offered to U.S. citizens looking for a bit more thump than the 9mm offers. The firearm used in this article was provided on loan to the author for this evaluation. The Kuna’s compact frame and folding brace make it easy to maneuver in tight spaces. Springfield’s new .40-caliber chambering in it brings extra energy to an already proven PDW platform. One of the latest and greatest in firearms today is the PDW, or “Personal Defense Weapon”. Folks are looking for smaller, lighter and easier-to-maneuver firearms — which makes sense. Why would you want a firearm any bigger than it needs to be? More punch in a smaller package is better for everything such as self-defense, home defense, and even hunting. The Kuna made its name in 9mm here in the United States, and the .40 version (shown) carries over everything that worked. The difference is what comes out of the muzzle. That is exactly why the Kuna in the 9mm was such a huge success. It went even further with being one of…
