MoreAs the Chinese People’s Liberation Army edges toward its goal of invading Taiwan by 2027, experts argue that Washington must reexamine a long-standing U.S.-Japan blueprint that aims to shift nearly 10,000 Marines away from Okinawa.The Defense Policy Review Initiative (DPRI) — intended to make the U.S. military presence less burdensome for the island’s residents — will instead dangerously weaken deterrence against Beijing, according to a report for the Atlantic Council from Lt. Col. Caleb Eames, a senior Marine Corps fellow, and Amy Cowley, an assistant director at the council’s Forward Defense program.The time for the U.S. to adjust its posture is now, they write. The Pentagon has shown a willingness to dismantle entrenched programs and the Trump administration’s tariff policies have created leverage to agree to new terms with the Japanese government.“Washington has a window of opportunity to rework old DPRI agreements in a new, substantial way,” Eames and Cowley argue.Under the plan as it stands, the U.S. and Japan agreed to move 5,000 Marines and 1,300 dependents from Okinawa to Guam; 2,700 Marines and 2,000 dependents to Hawaii; 1,300 Marines to Australia; and 800 Marines to locations in the continental U.S. The first tranche of 100 troops, however, only…

Kaley Cuoco is opening up about experiencing a beauty mishap during her time starring on “The Big Bang Theory.”During an appearance on the “Not Skinny But No Fat” podcast, the 40-year-old actress, who played Penny on the hit sitcom that ran from 2007 to 2019, recalled getting Botox injections for the first time before realizing too late how it would impact her ability to act on camera. “I did my forehead and all this stuff, and I was so excited,” Cuoco remembered. Cuoco went on to say that she underwent the cosmetic procedure days before filming “a scene where I have to like really do this thing with my face.”‘BIG BANG THEORY’ STAR KALEY CUOCO SHUTS DOWN PARENTING CRITICS”I could not move [it],” she admitted. “The fact that no one said anything — they probably were thinking it — I couldn’t believe how bad it looked. I was like, ‘Kaley.’ I was like literally doing these jokes and nothing moved. My forehead didn’t move and it looked like I was trying to move it.””And that’s when I thought, ‘Whoa..let’s calm it down,’” she added. “So I reined it in and now I don’t…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. Sam Darnold just WON the Super Bowl…and LOST $71k because it was in California Watch as Boomer Esiason explains why the players should block any future Super Bowls in California… Here’s SchiffSovereign’s James Hickman to explain the farce… Yesterday, the Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. From a financial perspective, each Seahawks player will take home $178,000—payment for that particular game. Now, given that the Super Bowl was played in California—and the players earned money playing in the game— it’s reasonable for the state of California to tax that specific income. But that’s not the way California looks at it. Instead, the state will go back in time, all the way to the start of the NFL season in September, and take their ‘fair share’ of the players’ ENTIRE salaries over the entire season. This is what’s known as the state’s “jock tax,” in which they tax non-resident professional athletes based on the number of “duty days” they spend in the state—traveling, practicing, attending meetings, or playing in a game. Both teams arrived in California last Sunday, so each player will log…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The Justice Department is signaling a broader use of federal civil rights law against protesters accused of disrupting religious worship, with officials pointing to synagogue cases as a model for future enforcement.Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, who leads the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, said the department has applied the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act — a law historically associated with abortion clinic protests — to cases involving disruptions at Jewish houses of worship.”It was our pioneering application of the FACE Act to defend Jewish synagogues that paved the way for its use to defend churches,” Dhillon said during remarks at an antisemitism and extremism conference at George Washington University Tuesday, describing the enforcement approach as a way to draw clear legal lines between protected speech and unlawful conduct.The FACE Act makes it a federal offense to use force, threats of force or physical obstruction to intentionally interfere with individuals because they are exercising their right to religious worship or to an abortion. Dhillon said the statute allows federal authorities to intervene when protests cross into obstruction, intimidation or trespass at places of worship. FEDERAL AGENTS ARREST 2 MORE…

MoreSoldiers and families at Fort Hood, Texas, will be the first to sample the Army’s new campus-style dining as part of a pilot program designed to promote access to a variety of healthier, tastier foods. The 42 Bistro, named after the 1942 establishment of the camp, is scheduled for a grand opening on Feb. 18 and will be accessible seven days a week from 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.Soldiers on the Essential Station Messing program — especially those in the barracks using a meal card — will have an entitlement of $39, or “freedom dollars,” per day to use at the dining facility. Those not on the meal card program will pay for items separately. There have long been complaints about the quality and accessibility of food on certain installations. The Army’s campus-style dining initiatives are aimed at providing a remedy and helping soldiers who may not have the resources to go elsewhere. The Fort Hood venue will be operated by Compass Group, which has a long history of providing food for airport lounges and select Division I universities, said Lt. Gen. Chris Mohan, commanding general of the Army Materiel Command.“We owe it to soldiers to get this right,” Mohan…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Lindsey Vonn’s dad said Monday he hopes the horrific crash that landed the Olympic legend in the hospital at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games will mark “the end of her career.”Alan Kildow told The Associated Press he wasn’t sure whether he actually has any say in the matter. Vonn broke her leg during the final run of the alpine ski women’s downhill event. She crashed in the first sector and needed to be airlifted off the mountain. “She’s 41 years old and this is the end of her career,” he told The Associated Press. “There will be no more ski races for Lindsey Vonn, as long as I have anything to say about it.”Kildow didn’t divulge any details about the injuries but mentioned her emotional state.”She’s a very strong individual,” Kildow said. “She knows physical pain and she understands the circumstances that she finds herself in.

And so I think she’s handling it real well.”Vonn’s family was on hand to watch her try to pull off a miracle – win an Olympic medal in one of…
The Pentagon will award the Purple Heart to Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe and posthumously to Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, two members of the West Virginia National Guard who were fired upon in an ambush-style shooting just blocks from the White House in November.Beckstrom, 20, succumbed to her wounds on Nov. 27, while Wolfe, 24, underwent surgery for a gunshot to the head and has since made “extraordinary progress,” according to the National Guard. The fatal attack occurred the day before Thanksgiving during a routine patrol outside of a Washington, D.C., Metro station.“One lost, one recovered,” Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said Friday during a reenlistment ceremony at the Washington Monument. “Both soon-to-be Purple Heart recipients because they were attacked by a radical.”RELATEDThe Purple Heart is presented to service members who have been wounded or killed by enemy action while serving in the U.S. military. Hegseth added that medals will also be given to those who responded in that moment — which he described as “the real-deal; it’s the front lines.” Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the 29-year-old suspected gunman, has been arraigned on nine charges, including first-degree murder and assault with intent to kill. He has pleaded not guilty. Lakanwal is…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! American skier Hunter Hess appeared to backtrack on the “mixed emotions” he said he had about representing the U.S. at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.Hess drew backlash from President Donald Trump and others when he made his initial comments to reporters last week. But after a few days, Hess made clear what it means to wear the red, white and blue on one of the biggest stages in sports. “I love my country,” he wrote with an American flag emoji. “There is so much that is great about America, but there are always things that could be better.”One of the many things that makes this country so amazing is that we have the right and the freedom to point that out. The best part of the Olympics is that it brings people together, and when so many of us are divided we need that more than ever. I cannot wait to represent Team USA next week when I compete.”Hess’ comments came as the Trump administration faced backlash over the use of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in enforcement operations.

The U.S. Air Force must buy at least 500 sixth-generation fighters and bombers — more than it already plans — to be able to prevail in a war against China, the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies said Monday.In its policy paper, “Strategic Attack: Maintaining the Air Force’s Capacity to Deny Enemy Sanctuaries,” experts from the Mitchell Institute argue that the Air Force needs at least 300 next-generation F-47 fighters and at least 200 B-21 Raider stealth bombers to counter China. The Air Force has previously signaled it plans to buy at least 185 F-47s from Boeing and at least 100 Northrop Grumman-made B-21s.In an online discussion about the paper, former F-16 pilot and Mitchell Institute director of research Heather Penney warned that past U.S. wars such as Korea and Vietnam, and Ukraine’s current war against Russia’s invasion, have showed that militaries who can’t or won’t hit enemy bases and other sanctuaries from the air risk falling into grueling wars of attrition, akin to trench warfare.And without a significantly boosted combat fleet able to project long-range air power in force, Penney said, the United States could find itself in a similar danger against China.“China is deliberately building the capabilities and the…
China has asked all of its banks to reduce exposure to American debt, citing rising market volatility and geopolitical risks. China has been steadily whittling away at its United States treasury holdings since peaking in 2013. Bloomberg [behind a paywall] has reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The shift away from American debt has seen China overtaken by Japan and the United Kingdom as the largest foreign holders. Since peaking at around $1.3 trillion in 2013, its holdings have fallen roughly by half to about $650–700 billion, reaching levels not seen since 2008, according to a report by RT. Investors also bailed on the dollar back in October of 2025 when the U.S. national debt approached $38 trillion. Investors Bail On The U.S. Dollar As Debt Approaches $38 Trillion China’s guidance, reportedly intended to diversify market risk, came ahead of last week’s phone call between Chinese President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart, Donald Trump. In October, the two leaders agreed to a one-year trade truce, under which tariffs and export controls on each other’s goods would be lowered.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The U.S. urged China to reverse what Secretary of State Marco Rubio called an “unjust and tragic” sentence against Hong Kong publisher and democracy activist Jimmy Lai, after Beijing-backed courts handed the 78-year-old a 20-year prison term under the national security law. “The conviction shows the world that Beijing will go to extraordinary lengths to silence those who advocate fundamental freedoms in Hong Kong,” Rubio said in a statement. “The United States urges the authorities to grant Mr. Lai humanitarian parole.”The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) used Hong Kong’s courts to sentence Lai on Monday, cementing one of the most consequential national security cases since Beijing imposed a sweeping new law in the wake of months-long anti-CCP protests.Lai, a billionaire media entrepreneur, founded the now-shuttered Apple Daily newspaper in 1995 once Hong Kong’s most outspoken pro-democracy publication. He is among the highest-profile figures arrested under the 2020 National Security Law Beijing imposed following the unrest.The protests, sparked by fears Beijing was eroding Hong Kong’s promised autonomy, were followed by a sweeping security crackdown that criminalized dissent and reshaped the city’s legal system.MARCO RUBIO VOICES CONCERN THAT AMERICANS MAY SOMEDAY BE ARRESTED FOR SOCIAL MEDIA…
They spoke different languages and wore different uniforms but for four grueling days, U.S. and Italian soldiers operated under German standards to earn a foreign military badge few American troops are authorized to wear. In early February, more than 110 candidates completed ruck marches, weapons qualifications, a swimming event and academic assessments in hopes of earning the German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge at an Italian military base, the U.S. Army announced Monday. The Army said the event was meant to bring together U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF) forces and neighboring units and build morale and relationships with allied militaries.The event helped 1st Lt. Michell Hansen, the executive officer for SETAF-AF’s intelligence and sustainment company, better understand the work his unit does with European partners. “This training has really opened my eyes, working with our Italian and German partners, because they each have different processes for completing the mission,” Hansen said in the release. German troops from the Support Battalion 8, 10th Panzer Division, evaluated the Italian and American hopefuls to see if they scored high enough to meet the badge’s gold, silver or bronze levels. American soldiers from 173rd Airborne Brigade, 207th Military Intelligence Brigade (T), 517th…
RoseCraft’s newest model, the Barren Fork Jack, has just arrived with dealers – and it marks a big moment for the shop as it is the first RoseCraft piece made from 14C28N steel, answering a long-time request from customers. Last year, RoseCraft officially moved away from modern folders altogether, to focus on what they do best: making accessible, quality traditional knives. Since then, the company’s head honcho, Andy Armstrong, has been on a bit of a roll, putting out a stream of new takes on various historical patterns. The Barren Fork Jack’s lineage can be traced to a jack knife from Joseph Allen & Sons, an English cutler from the 19th century. A simple, clean profile Like many traditional jack knives, the Barren Fork doesn’t reinvent the wheel; rather, it imbues the familiar elements with its own particular style. The 2.9-inch clip point blade, for instance, has a notable harpoon-like swedge, and a French pull in lieu of the more commonly-seen crescent nail mark. Meanwhile the handle has a washboard profile, but squared-off bolsters on both the top and bottom ends. The most notable element here, however, is the presence of 14C28N blade steel. Until now, most RoseCraft traditionals released…
