The U.S. Navy is looking outside the military to address its need for temporary housing as it renovates barracks and vacates service members who previously lived in them.The service published a Request for Information on Friday asking industry partners to help provide solutions for how to address a shortage of several thousand beds and build unaccompanied housing for sailors who will need a place to stay while their living quarters are modernized.“Improving living conditions is a top priority for the Navy, but comprehensive upgrades require significant structural work,” the service said in an emailed statement. “Utilizing temporary housing, which are often referred to as swing space, is a critical step. It allows the Navy to proceed with massive construction projects on schedule while ensuring Sailors are not displaced into subpar accommodations during the transition.”The request says that possible housing quarters may include prefabricated units, containerized units, RVs, leased commercial apartments, hotels or houseboats, among other options.Ensuring service members are comfortable in their homes has been front of mind for the Defense Department.The military created the Barracks Task Force in October 2025 to address unaccompanied housing requirements and improve living conditions across all services.And the Navy announced in December 2025 that…

This article was originally published by Garrison Vance at Natural News.  U.S. President Donald Trump launched an expletive-filled tirade against Iranian leaders during a recent Oval Office meeting, according to a person who heard the comments. The outburst, which included references to Iranian officials as “scumbags” and “lunatics,” reflected the president’s growing frustration as the U.S.-Iran conflict enters its fifth month with no resolution in sight. Trump had initially predicted the war would be over in weeks, but both a ceasefire announced in April and a memorandum of understanding in June have collapsed, according to reports [2][4]. President’s Expletive-Laden Tirade Overheard in White House Meeting The president’s anger boiled over during a meeting in the Oval Office, a person familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal (WSJ). Trump reportedly used profanity to describe Iranian leaders and expressed exasperation at his inability to end the conflict. The war – which began on Feb. 28 with a joint U.S.-Israel operation that killed nearly 50 Iranian officials including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei – has now stretched to nearly five months [1]. Trump had previously stated in April that the war was “very close to an end” in an interview with FOX Business, but subsequent talks in…

Sometimes, people are exactly who you think they are. And that may never apply more accurately and comprehensively than it does with Anthony Fauci.Fauci was portrayed, starting in early 2020, as an objective, brilliant, virtually infallible God-like figure. He was the voice of opposition to President Donald Trump, a clear-eyed force of evidence-driven policy, contrasting with the evil Trump who didn’t “listen to the science.”That’s not an exaggeration; there were Christmas tree ornaments made up of Fauci dressed as a Pope, shrines put up in people’s houses, and he was given a parade of endless, relentlessly glowing media appearances from his fawning, adoring fans. Fans like CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash.FAUCI’S NEWLY RELEASED COVID DIARIES REVEAL BIZARRE FIXATION ON FAME AS PANDEMIC DEATHS MOUNTEDFor most critics, it was clear almost immediately that these portrayals and friendly media appearances were the exact opposite of reality. Fauci was a narcissist. Someone who enjoyed the attention, power, and influence he now unexpectedly wielded. He was unimaginably arrogant, unwilling to listen to new evidence if it contradicted what he wanted to believe. And someone who bought into himself as that virtually infallible, God-like figure.Well, Sen. Rand Paul over the weekend released a series…

The U.S. Navy released updated influenza vaccination guidelines late last week, instructing a select number of service members to get the shot.The directive comes after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced in April that flu vaccinations for all active-duty, reserve and civilian personnel would be optional.“The influenza vaccine is highly encouraged to prevent outbreaks that can degrade unit readiness, disrupt training schedules, and deployment execution, which adversely impacts mission,” a Friday Navy administrative message read.Personnel who are required to receive the annual influenza vaccine include the following groups:Service members enrolled in initial entry training programs, such as Officer Candidate School, academy preparatory school, United States Naval Academy, Officer Development School, other officer accession programs, and officers who are directly commissionedNavy personnel who work in healthcare and interact with patientsNavy personnel deployed to countries or theaters that have influenza vaccination requirementsNavy civilian personnel working in child development and youth services programsNavy reserve personnel who administer care to patients and reserve service members who are not involved in patient care but run the risk of exposure to infectious diseasesNavy reserve personnel who are employed by the Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Enhanced Response EnterpriseNavy reserve personnel operating under Title 10 orders, or those…

Chicago Sky’s DiJonai Carrington spiraled on social media over the weekend, accusing her ex-girlfriend of cheating on her with multiple women around the WNBA.”Since mfs wanna be funny today ima be hilarious! yes, nalyssa cheated on me with Deja Kelly and Aaliyah Nye +++ many more,” Carrington posted on X.According to ESPN commentator Monica McNutt’s logic, there is one person to blame for this alleged WNBA hit-it-and-quit-it scandal. Caitlin Clark. Who else?McNutt maintains that Clark has a moral obligation to uplift the WNBA “sisterhood,” even when it has nothing to do with her.On Sunday, McNutt insisted Clark is to blame for the negative headlines surrounding the WNBA because she lacks “accountability” and “self-awareness.”In other words, Clark is the reason USA Today compared her flopping on the court to the lynching of Black people and falsely accused her of skipping an All-Star event to get her hair done. Both of those headlines originated last week.Apparently, Clark is also to blame for people noticing Black women on the court driving their fists into her throat and raking her eye with their fingernails.Again, this is all according to the logic of Monica McNutt. McNutt using her ESPN platform to smear and belittle Clark…

As active-duty airmen rush to submit their current waist-to-height ratios by the end of this week, the U.S. Air Force clarified that the ratios will not be scored in their physical fitness assessments.Active-duty airmen have a deadline of Friday, July 31, to submit their waist-to-height ratios into myBodyComp unless medically except from that component of the Physical Fitness Readiness Assessment, the service announced two weeks ago, and reservists have until Aug. 31.Recently, myBodyComp officially launched for airmen to input their ratios, but the measurement is not part of the assessment and will not affect fitness scores, test currency or other personnel actions, according to a release.The service describes the requirement as a “one-time biometric data collection” that sets a baseline for the modernized Physical Fitness Readiness Program, which took effect July 1.The move to modernize the program comes as the Air Force reinforces its fitness, dress and appearance standards in an effort to boost readiness and long-term health, especially as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth pushes for more rigorous grooming and fitness standards across the military services.“This update is not just about increasing the physical fitness test standards; it’s about ensuring our warfighters are fit, ready, and prioritizing their long-term health,”…

The global price per barrel of oil is approaching $100 per barrel again, as war rages in the Middle East. While renewed hostilities between the United States and Iran have again brought traffic through the Strait of Hormuz to a near halt, Houthi rebels have begun attacking tankers in the Red Sea, driving prices even higher. The American consumer is already strapped during these difficult inflationary economic times, and yet the war mongering by US rulers continues. A naval blockade against Saudi Arabia in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, is also presenting an economic problem. This strait is the second-most important route for energy shipments after Hormuz. Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb together carry the equivalent of roughly a quarter of the world’s oil supply. Global crude benchmark Brent futures reached as high as $102 per barrel on Thursday before closing, according to a report by RT. The price officially closed at $100.69, which is the highest since May 22nd. Iran Warns of Blocking Regional Oil Exports After Claiming Strike on U.S. Navy in Bahrain What is even more terrifying is that Goldman Sachs predicted that Brent could exceed $120 a barrel in the fourth…
