NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The owner of Minocqua Brewing Co. said Monday that the Madison taproom in Wisconsin will likely shut down by the end of the year after state officials revoked the company’s alcohol permits.Channel 3000 reported that Minocqua Brewing Co. owner Kirk Bangstad said the Madison taproom is likely to shut down as the business continues fighting the state’s decision. The brewery has become known for its outspoken messaging against President Donald Trump.WISCONSIN BREWERY THAT OFFERED ‘FREE BEER’ WHEN TRUMP DIES SAYS ALCOHOL PERMIT REVOKED The Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR) revoked brewing permits for the company’s Minocqua and Madison locations after alleging violations involving beer transported from Illinois without the required permits and tax payments. The brewery has disputed the state’s action and accused officials of targeting it because of its political views.The department told Fox News Digital in a statement Thursday that there is a hearing on the company’s appeal on Nov. 18, and that the revocation does not take effect until appeals are done, adding that the “DOR is dedicated to fair and consistent enforcement of alcohol beverage regulations in Wisconsin and takes action when the laws are not followed, as occurred…

A federal appeals court on Friday upheld the Pentagon’s blacklisting of Anthropic from military contracts, handing a victory to President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in their battle with the AI startup over safety guardrails on its technology.The 2-1 decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington came in a lawsuit by Anthropic challenging its March designation by the Pentagon as a national security supply chain risk, which the startup says has cost it billions of dollars in lost business and damaged its reputation ahead of a highly anticipated initial public offering. The court’s majority said it was reasonable for the Pentagon to designate Anthropic after it refused to allow its products to be used for autonomous weapons or mass surveillance. It rejected Anthropic’s claim that the Pentagon had retaliated against it for its views on AI safety and ethics.Siding with Hegseth’s argument that Anthropic’s safety restrictions could compromise military operations, the majority said, “The Secretary raises the deeply sobering prospect of overly constrained AI models shutting down unexpectedly and thus causing important military operations to fail,” in an opinion by Judge Gregory Katsas. San Francisco-based Anthropic said in a statement Friday that it respectfully disagrees with…

A rare genetic mutation could put people at a dramatically higher risk of developing lung cancer – even if they’ve never smoked.A rare mutation in the gene EGFR T790M was found to increase lung cancer risk by 25 times compared with people who did not have the mutation, according to a new study published in the journal Science.Among people who had never smoked, carriers of the mutation had about 62 times the odds of lung cancer compared with never-smokers who did not have it.PANCREATIC CANCER VACCINE SHOWS PROMISE IN FIRST HUMAN TRIAL, PREVENTING DISEASE IN HIGH-RISK PATIENTSThe study, led by investigators at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and 23andMe Research Institute, analyzed data from more than 3.3 million people.The gene variant showed no increased risk across 17 other cancers studied. “Today, lung cancer screening is driven almost entirely by smoking history,” study co-author Jaclyn LoPiccolo, M.D., Ph.D., attending physician and lung cancer researcher at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, said in a press release.CANCER WARNING SIGNS MAY APPEAR IN DNA YEARS BEFORE BLOOD TESTS DETECT TROUBLE”Our findings raise the possibility that, in the future, screening could also be dictated by inherited genetic risk. If further studies…

The U.S. Navy announced Thursday a new development center that will train sailors to use autonomous technology in preparation for robotic systems to deploy across the entire fleet.The service established the Robot and Autonomous Systems Warfighting Development Center at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek, Virginia, ushering in a new era that will teach service members to be technically proficient while developing and fielding new combat-ready robotic systems.“A prototype is not combat power,” Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Daryl Caudle said in a C-NOte message. “Combat power comes when a trained sailor can employ a reliable system, supported by the right networks, logistics, maintenance, software, tactics, authorities, and command relationships, to create an operational effect.”The new center provides a place to work on autonomous system integration so that by the time sailors in the fleet get their hands on the technology, it is ready to be used.RASWDC will first focus on training sailors at the center to understand the systems enough to employ them in combat, while developing a broader system for teaching that can be disseminated through the entire Navy to help service members learn the technology.The center will help create warfighting concepts that delineate strict guidelines for how commanders…

We have reached the final series of the season for teams. Yesterday we saw a lot of champagne pop as the Cubs, White Sox, Padres, and Guardians all clinched their playoff spots. That means we might have some rather tired teams today. There is still importance to a lot of games, but because of football this weekend, this will be my last piece for baseball’s regular season. Instead of focusing on just one game, I’ll share my thoughts on a few of them.Cubs vs. Red Sox, Game 1, 1:05 ETThe Cubs finally clinched their playoff spot, but they still need to figure out which Wild Card spot they will take. They also spent a ton of time yesterday afternoon drinking beers and pouring booze on each other. You don’t really stop the party right away and then travel to Boston in the evening. Now you have to play a game at 12 CT. I think the Cubs have no shot at winning this one and probably will be unlikely to win either of the games today. I’m taking Boston in Game 1 and likely will take them in Game 2 as well. This page may contain affiliate links to legal…

The U.S. Navy’s Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Program will exceed $200 billion and take more than 50 years to execute, but the program is not regularly evaluated for its costs, risks and performance, according to a new Government Accountability Office report.The lack of oversight could lead to Congress making consequential decisions “based on incomplete information, thus risking billions in taxpayer dollars,” the GAO wrote in its report, published Friday.The findings come as the Navy undertakes a generational effort to improve poor conditions and outdated infrastructure at the shipyards in Norfolk, Virginia; Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine; and Puget Sound, Washington. The four public shipyards are critical to maintaining the Navy’s nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines. The Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Program, or SIOP, launched in 2018 to address poor shipyard conditions and capability gaps affecting fleet readiness. The effort includes new dry docks, extensive construction and dozens of other major infrastructure projects and upgrades.GAO investigators found the Navy adopted requirements for the program that don’t include plans for regular reviews through future decades. Without appropriate evaluations, the Navy cannot adjust SIOP to meet changing needs, the GAO said.“Without building such reviews into key future decision points, the Navy…

Sponsored by: KnivesShipFree Jason Knight’s Hummingbird EDC has come a long way over the years since we first laid eyes on it. It’s available now at KnivesShipFree and, since this is the all-around knife celebrity Knight’s birthday, it’s the perfect time to grab the latest generation. While the knife has evolved over the years, the Hummingbird EDC, at its core, retains the spirit of the Kickstarter original. That project launched in 2022 and was instantly successful, as was the Kickstarter for the Hummingbird XL, which launched in 2025 and scaled the blade up to 2.87 inches. It was an interesting name for a knife that was so compact, and the now officially renamed Hummingbird EDC stands ready to continue its legacy as a highly capable daily carry fixed blade. The Hummingbird EDC is built for a 3-finger grip Knight’s style is in the Hummingbird EDC’s DNA. He is known for high-attitude blades crowned by harpoon-style swedges, and that’s what we see on the Hummingbird EDC’s clip point as well. It’s made from AUS10A, the bigger brother to AUS8, and an all-arounder choice for the price point. Given that fixed blades can get thrown into harder jobs than their folding cousins…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed once called for repealing a Michigan law that made it a felony for people who knew they had HIV to have sex without first informing their partner — a position he is standing by eight years later as he campaigns in one of the nation’s most competitive Senate racesAs he unsuccessfully ran for Michigan governor in 2018, El-Sayed repeatedly took aim at the law. The law carried a prison sentence of up to four years for people who knew they were HIV-positive and engaged in sexual penetration without first informing their partner of their HIV status.”You should not be criminalized for a disease. That is absolutely wrong. It’s hateful. It’s discriminatory, and we can, as a state, do better. You can count on me for that,” El-Sayed said as he ran for governor.MICHIGAN STUDENT CONFRONTS EL-SAYED OVER IRAN STANCE Fast-forward eight years and El-Sayed, an epidemiologist and a former health director for Detroit-anchored Wayne County, is battling former Republican Rep.
