LeBron James gifted Nelly Korda a custom pair of golf shoes for this week’s U.S. Women’s Open at Riviera Country Club, and while the World No. 1 gave the kicks a shot, they didn’t appear to be up to her standards.Korda’s opening round on Thursday got off to a bit of an up-and-down start. Beginning on the back nine, Korda made par on the tricky par-4 10th hole and followed it up with a birdie on the 11th hole, but then carded back-to-back bogeys. After six holes and sitting at 1-over par in the early stages of the tournament, Korda was seen ditching her custom LeBron shoes and putting on her normal pair of Nike gamers.Golf Channel’s Amy Rodgers reported from Riviera shortly after the shoe swap that the LeBron shoes that Korda began her round with were “a little bit too loose” and may have been a culprit for “issues with her swing.”NELLY KORDA ROCKS USA SOCCER JERSEY ON COURSE AT US WOMEN’S OPEN, DELIVERS PATRIOTIC MESSAGE Korda’s trainer, who was outside the ropes following her group, was the one who went back to the locker room, grabbed the pair of her normal golf shoes and swapped them out…

The USS Carl Vinson has been awarded the 2025 aircraft carrier Battle Effectiveness award, the Navy recently announced Wednesday.The Battle “E” is awarded to U.S. Navy commands that display “superior performance during operations, inspections, certifications, assessments and training events in a competitive cycle, assessing their proficiency and overall effectiveness in all phases of operations,” according to the Navy. The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier returned to port in August 2025 after a nine-month deployment which saw the Carl Vinson operating in the U.S. 3rd, 5th, and 7th Fleet areas of operations, including providing support to Operation Rough Rider, a large-scale military campaign that launched air and naval strikes against Iran-backed Houthi Rebels.By the time the Carl Vinson homeported in San Diego, California, the aircraft carrier had completed more than 10,000 sorties, 23,000 flight hours and sailed over 275,000 nautical miles combined. “The Carl Vinson team displayed unrelenting perseverance and superior performance as they successfully carried out sustained operations at sea throughout 2025,” Capt. Joshua Wenker, commanding officer of Carl Vinson, said in a release.“Our sailors worked together to successfully execute a wide range of missions while operating in the Western Pacific and the Middle East, once again setting the standard for courage…

This article was originally published by Cassie B. at Natural News.  Russia produces 15,000 FPV drones daily, a 30-fold increase from 2023. Drones have evolved from reconnaissance tools to independent strike forces in Ukraine. Russian aviation production surged 117% year-on-year, dominated by low-cost FPVs. Moscow’s drone boom drives 16% defense sector growth amid sanctions and labor shortages. Ukraine warns Russia aims to produce 7.3 million FPVs by 2026, intensifying the arms race. Russia’s military-industrial complex has achieved a startling milestone in drone production, with First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov revealing that Russian companies can now churn out 15,000 first-person-view (FPV) drones per day. This figure, Manturov noted in a Kommersant interview, marks a dramatic leap from 2023, when the same volume required an entire month. The shift underscores a fundamental transformation in modern warfare, as drones evolve from reconnaissance tools into independent strike forces. From reconnaissance to strike force UAVs have long been viewed as auxiliary assets, used primarily for surveillance and limited strikes. But Russia’s war in Ukraine has accelerated its evolution. Manturov credited battlefield lessons with reshaping the role of drones, stating, “UAVs have become an independent strike force capable of tackling a wide range of tactical tasks.” This…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, invited earlier this week to testify before the House Judiciary Committee in a hearing that will examine whether the Sports Broadcasting Act has been used “to harm consumers,” is declining the invitation.And that’s probably a wise choice by the commissioner given his past history testifying before Congress.ROGER GOODELL ASKED TO TESTIFY BEFORE CONGRESS ON NFL ANTITRUST EXEMPTIONGoodell declined the invitation to appear at the June 10 hearing “due to ongoing litigation related to the topic of the hearing,” NFL general counsel Ted Ullyot wrote in a letter Wednesday to Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio)Jim Jordan, (R-Ohio).The ongoing litigation Ullyot was referring to is likely the NFL’s Sunday Ticket antitrust case, which remains in post-trial and appellate proceedings.All of this is tied to the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 that provides limited antitrust exemption for the collective sale of over-the-air broadcast rights. The SBA does not clearly protect cable, satellite, streaming or subscription products, the rising cost of which has incited consumer complaints and government scrutiny.According to the Associated Press, Ullyot repeated in his letter the well-chronicled NFL narrative that 87 percent of its games will be available…

John Fetterman ramped up criticism of embattled Senate candidate Graham Platner on Wednesday, calling out the Maine progressive over his history of inflammatory remarks while challenging him to release messages linked to a Kik account that has become a flashpoint in his campaign.”This is a guy that had a problem with me, how I dress, but he seemed to have no problem posing in a towel at a disgusting website that consistently had serious problems about that kinds of depravity,” Fetterman told Fox News host Sean Hannity.The Democrat later challenged Platner to make public messages he allegedly exchanged with women on the platform.”Let me make a deal.

The Navy is eliminating regular performance reports for a handful of senior paygrades in an effort to “reduce administrative burdens on senior leadership,” the service announced Wednesday. Effective immediately, master chiefs (E-9), chief warrant officers 5 (CWO5) and limited duty officers at the rank of captain (O-6) are now exempt from regular periodic performance evaluations and fitness reports, according to the June 3 NavAdmin. “Personnel in these paygrades have demonstrated a sustained history of superior performance and established records that negate the requirement for annual periodic reporting,” the message stated. Previously, evaluation and fitness reports for the specified personnel were to be submitted on an annual basis, according to the NavAdmin. The new policy change, meanwhile, does not impact reporting requirements for personnel assigned to a detachment. “Reporting seniors retain the authority and are highly encouraged to submit special evaluations or fitness reports for personnel in these paygrades to document distinctly outstanding performance or sub-standard performance/misconduct,” the message states. The service’s Bureau of Naval Personnel is overseeing the implementation of the new policy, while individual commands are instructed to ensure local policies and ticklers, or administrative reminders, “are updated to reflect the removal of regular periodic reporting requirements for the…

Editor’s Note: Be aware of your local and state as well as federal laws and how they apply to carrying firearms and self-defense. This article does not represent training advice/guidance. Please seek training from a professional firearms trainer for your self-defense needs. Concealed carry might be described as the practice of going about in public with a handgun hidden on your person. Until fairly recently, concealed carry by persons other than law enforcement officers was rare. Beginning in the 19th century, many states passed laws prohibiting the carrying of a concealed firearm in public, although a few allowed the carrying of a handgun as long as it was opened to view. A parking lot looks harmless right up until it isn’t, which is why this man legally keeps a defensive firearm on his person when driving rather than locked in the glovebox. In some jurisdictions, a responsible citizen could obtain a carry permit; however, these often required a great deal of difficulty and expense to secure. Vermont was the sole exception to the rule and citizens of the Green Mountain State have always had the right to carry a concealed weapon. But in 1987, things began to change. At that…
