U.S. Central Command will stand up the inaugural task force focused on multi-domain, multinational attack drones.Task Force Falcon Strike will utilize one-way attack drones composed of unmanned systems from above, on and below the sea, managed by U.S. military support staff and regional partners, according to a Thursday release.The move to launch this unit follows CENTCOM’s establishment of Task Force Scorpion Strike in December 2025, a Middle East-based task force equipped with one-way attack drones as the military strived to integrate drone technology across the services. “Task Force Falcon Strike will expand on Scorpion Strike’s success given the tremendous innovation happening among our regional allies and partners,” Adm. Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander, said in the release. “Integrating and deploying our new capabilities together will help us rapidly realize the new possibilities that are on the horizon.”Scorpion Strike was the first to launch an aerial attack drone from a U.S. Navy warship last December, the month of its announcement. The unit also deployed one-way unmanned aerial systems during Operation Epic Fury and during strikes on Iranian port facilities in July with unmanned attack vessels at sea, the statement highlights.CENTCOM began consulting with and officially inviting regional partners to join Falcon Strike,…
Editor’s Note: This CORD Pandora PB-K review is based on hands-on testing of the red dot sight that was provided to the author by the company. All impressions regarding durability, glass clarity, reticle performance, and mounting are based on the author’s own range time and daily carry use of the optic paired with a Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro Comp.

Every year, new designs hit the market, claiming to address the same issues: durability, size, clarity, and reliability in real-world use. That’s where the Central Ohio Regional Department (CORD) PB-K Optic stood out to me. The PB-K’s enclosed design helps shield the emitter from dirt, dust and weather while providing added peace of mind for daily carry. Shown on Hellcat Pro pistol.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Political promises of “free buses” in New York City are contributing to a spike in fare evasion that is costing the city’s mass transit system millions of dollars, transit officials warn.In July, Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Chairman Janno Lieber blamed political rhetoric for fueling fare evasion, though he never mentioned Mayor Zohran Mamdani by name.”There’s a trend that broke out,” Lieber told reporters following a meeting of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority board, according to the New York Post. “With malice towards none, I say all of the talk of free buses, it has an impact.”The MTA reported that paid bus ridership fell nearly 8% in June compared to the same month last year. During Mamdani’s first six months in office, bus fare revenue fell by $31 million compared to the first half of 2025. Agency estimates show nearly half of bus riders now skip the $3 fare.MAMDANI SHRUGS OFF AOC’S ‘WOKE 1’ COMMENTS, BUT CRITIC SAYS PROGRESSIVES CAN’T BE ABSOLVED OF ‘RADICAL’ PAST Mamdani made the slogan “fast and free buses” a major part of his 2025 mayoral campaign.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is facing renewed scrutiny over his tenure as Detroit health director, during which Detroit’s animal control department was beset by allegations of animal mistreatment and reportedly branded a “dog slaughterhouse” by a former employee.Detroit Animal Care and Control’s (DACC) live-release rate was roughly 20% to 26% when El-Sayed inherited the operation in late 2015, but climbed to about 61% to 62% by late 2016 — an improvement his campaign points to in arguing that the raw number of animals euthanized during his tenure obscures a turnaround from the dire conditions and euthanasia rates he inherited. The Daily Mail reported that records covering the period surrounding El-Sayed’s tenure showed 4,680 dogs and cats were euthanized, with 1,056 dogs and 29 cats getting euthanized in the first full calendar year DACC was under El-Sayed’s Health Department.After winning a bruising primary against Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., El-Sayed is asking Michigan voters to send him to the U.S. Senate, but his record running Detroit’s health department and the troubled animal-control operation under its authority has generated renewed scrutiny.BIDEN-WORLD VETERAN ISSUES STARK WARNING ABOUT ABDUL EL-SAYED AS HE CROSSES PARTY LINES”I…
Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Mont., a former Navy SEAL who told police that he accidentally shot himself while visiting a national park, filed a bill this week to allow special operations veterans and service members to carry concealed firearms nationwide, bypassing state restrictions. In an announcement, Sheehy said the Special Operations Forces Concealed Carry Act would align the status of special operators with active and retired law enforcement officers, who are permitted under federal law to carry concealed weapons across state lines. “Our elite warfighters never stop serving, and this bill ensures the law reflects the trust they’ve earned through a lifetime of sacrifice,” Sheehy said, adding that “Special Operations Forces spend their careers protecting the American people with unmatched discipline, judgment, and professionalism.”According to Sheehy’s office, when Congress passed the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act, or LEOSA, in 2004, lawmakers recognized that active and retired officers may need to respond to violent crime or terrorists while off duty. They also recognized that officers face ongoing threats from individuals they previously encountered while on duty. Sheehy’s office explained that his bill would build on the framework created by LEOSA because individuals in special operations “have completed rigorous selection and possess firearms…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A species of puffer fish with toxic flesh and bone-crushing jaws is expanding its range throughout the Mediterranean, causing local authorities to issue warnings to tourists about the risk of bites.Some places are even taking precautions to protect swimmers and bathers from the invasive silver-cheeked toadfish, also called harefish.The fish reportedly entered the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal and has spread as sea temperatures have warmed. It carries tetrodotoxin, a deadly neurotoxin found primarily in its flesh and internal organs, and its powerful beak-like jaws can shred fishing gear and bite through bone.CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE NEWSExperts note, however, that the fish does not routinely attack people. Bites tend to occur when people try to catch, handle or otherwise interact with them.A 2024 study published in the peer-reviewed journal Toxics documented 198 human-health incidents involving invasive puffer fish across the eastern Mediterranean between 2004 and 2023. There were 28 records of physical attacks, at least 144 non-lethal poisoning episodes and 27 human fatalities resulting from consumption of the fish, the study found.”The number of recorded incidents greatly increased after 2019, especially with regard to poisonings, yet whether this is related to…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Soviet-born author and political analyst Michael Malice warned that America experienced what he described as a dangerous shift toward Soviet-style informant tactics during the pandemic, as citizens willingly turned in their neighbors for violating lockdown rules.Speaking on the “Planet Tyrus” podcast, Malice argued that authoritarian regimes don’t rely solely on military force, but on the participation of civilians as well.”I think the first time Americans realized the nature of evil was during COVID. Because COVID was the first time we saw in this country, people were turning in their neighbors and were bragging about it,” Malice said, adding, “They were happy: ‘I got this cashier fired.’ That was very Soviet.”FAUCI PRIVATELY TOOK CREDIT FOR COVID-19 LOCKDOWNS DESPITE PUBLIC DENIAL, NEWLY EXPOSED DIARY ENTRIES REVEAL “So that was the first time I think Americans realized that these systems, which are dictatorial, it’s not through force.

Sophie Cunningham is now the most polarizing athlete in sports. She’s loved and she’s hated. That was clear Friday evening in Portland as the Fever traveled to another liberal Mecca to play one of the WNBA’s newest expansion franchises, the Portland Fire.Cunningham’s bold stance to support the effort to keep women’s sports and spaces female has attracted women’s sports advocates to rally outside of her games. The first rally, which took place in Seattle, received moderate pushback from trans supporters and made headlines due to what happened inside the arena. A now fined and suspended co-owner of the Seattle Storm, Celeste Keaton, berated two teenage girls sitting courtside with XX-XY Athletics T-shirts and a sign that said, “Thank You Sophie For Speaking Up For Girls.” Meanwhile, a local store director of Nordstrom, Marco Esquivel, was caught berating and cussing at the girls, their mothers and fellow Cunningham supporters. Nordstrom has yet to make a public statement. “The ‘With Love Is Truth’ series began July 28, 2026, when women’s rights group Women Are Real, women’s rights advocate Amy E. Sousa (AKA Known Heretic), and independent journalist Brandi Kruse organized a fan rally with local supporters, including Washington high school athletes, outside…
