Average credit card interest rates have reached 21%, up from 14.6% in February 2022. Nonprofit credit counseling agencies report a 24% increase in clients seeking help. More than half of consumers carry balances to cover essential expenses like groceries and utilities. American households now carry a record $1.25 trillion in credit card debt, with delinquency rates climbing to their highest level in 15 years, according to Federal Reserve Bank of New York data released in May 2026.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The Israel Defense Forces announced Tuesday that it eliminated a Hamas terrorist who helped abduct American-Israeli hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who ultimately was murdered in the Gaza Strip. The IDF said Yousef Ayesh Awad Ramadan, a deputy commander of a Hamas Nukhba terrorist cell, was killed in the central Gaza Strip on Monday.

VILNIUS — The future presence of U.S. troops in Lithuania is “under review”, the Baltic country’s defense minister said on Tuesday, adding that although Washington had assured him new rotations would arrive, he did not know when and at what strength.The U.S. is withdrawing thousands of troops based in Germany and Poland as the rift between the administration of President Donald Trump and its NATO allies and partners in Europe over the Iran war widens.In Lithuania, U.S. troops presently stationed in the country are now leaving as expected, but the next scheduled group is not arriving, Defense Minister Robertas Kaunas said.“(The next) rotation is currently under review … because the number of (U.S. troops) in Europe is changing, this naturally leads to a review of regional stance”, Kaunas told reporters in Vilnius.The move would leave Lithuania without an armored U.S. battalion of about 1,000 troops on its soil for the first time since 2020.The minister said he had discussed the situation with U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at the Shangri-La Dialogue conference in Singapore last week.“We have assurance that (the next rotation in Lithuania) will arrive, but when exactly, and with which capabilities, and at what size — this is…

It started as a routine transfer. Following an asset transfer from Korea, maintainers at Moody Air Force Base, Georgia, accepted and processed an A-10 Warthog. Soon, staff at the base recognized that they had an opportunity to link past and present. So began the process of transforming the A-10 into a piece of visual history, tracing its lineage to the famous Flying Tigers squadron of World War II.“If the original Flying Tigers hadn’t been successful, we wouldn’t be here today carrying that name and history,” Staff Sgt. Tucker Lee, 23d MXS noncommissioned officer in charge corrosion control, said in a release. “The shark teeth that people associate with the A-10 started back with the P-40s, and now they’ve become part of what makes the Warthog iconic. Keeping that heritage paint scheme and the nose art reminds us where we came from and pushes us to continue that legacy of success.”Formed in 1941 by Capt. Claire L. Chennault, the American Volunteer Group, popularly known as the Flying Tigers, was composed of former U.S. Army, Navy and Marine Corps pilots hired as mercenaries by China to fight against the Japanese. Though only in combat for less than seven months, the group became…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Newark Mayor Ras Baraka said Tuesday that he disagreed with the tactics New Jersey State Police used after they were ordered by Gov. Mikie Sherrill to secure the scene outside Delaney Hall, describing the agency as “a sword.” Clashes erupted outside outside the detention center in Newark on Friday after protesters defied an order from the State Police to relocate to a nearby “First Amendment zone.” The area has seen frequent demonstrations in recent days after illegal immigrant detainees penned an open letter alleging physical and psychological torture, claiming they were being denied medical care and adequate food.  On Saturday, Sherrill said the New Jersey State Police Public Safety Response team was sent to the area in a move “absolutely necessary to protect public safety, and avoid escalation from ICE.” “I mean, clearly I agree that she was supposed to take action, 100 percent. She’s the governor. She’s the leader of this state. Our agencies are going to follow her, her attorney general, her staff. We’re going to defer to her, because she is the leader of this state. And she needed to make strong and aggressive decisions,” Baraka, a fellow Democrat, said Tuesday.LEFT-WING STREAMER BLASTS NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR OVER STATE POLICE RESPONSE AT ICE FACILITY PROTESTS “She made a decision to…

My passion has been collecting and acquiring representative United States Service rifles. That includes items like the 1898 Krag-Jorgensen, 1903 Springfield (and its variants), the M1 Garand and the M1 Carbine. However, one of my favorites in that collection is the Springfield Model 1884 Trapdoor Rifle. Why? Because it’s such a strange gun! It’s a rifle of two eras — muzzleloading and breechloading. It’s such an oddity in the development of military arms. According to the author, the manual of arms for the Trapdoor rifle is simpler than it may seem. Here, he is demonstrating how to reload it. While Europe was developing all-new weapon systems around the idea of a self-contained cartridge, the United States decided to mash the concept together. This was all in an effort to save money in a post-bellum world. And that’s what makes this bit of firearms history so interesting. Allin’s Alterations Before I begin, yes, both sides of the Civil War produced models of breech-loading rifles. Just not on a large scale. Civil War-era breech-loading carbines, like the Spencer and Sharps, were issued to some cavalry units but served mainly as a temporary solution and did little to arm the infantry. After the…
