The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers did not seek to mitigate environmental damage for more than 50 projects over the past five years and did not provide detailed explanations to Congress, a government watchdog found.Measures to prevent environmental damage were proposed in only 22 of 74 civil works projects the Corps submitted to Congress for approval from 2020 to 2025, according to a report published Wednesday by the Government Accountability Office.The Corps deemed that no such measures were needed for the remaining 52 projects and failed to provide detailed evidence as to why, the watchdog alleges. The agency regularly works to improve water navigation channels to prevent flooding and restore aquatic habitats around the country through its civil works program. It is required by statute to make detailed reports to Congress outlining whether its projects will require measures to prevent possible harm to fish, wildlife and the environment. The engineers are expected “to plan for environmental mitigation — that is, to take actions to avoid, minimize, or compensate for expected losses to fish and wildlife and damage to ecological resources,” which could include reinforcing riverbanks or restoring wetland areas to create new habitats for fish and wildlife, according to the…

Editor’s Note: For this Hornady case trimmer review, the author received the unit for testing from the company. All opinions are those of the author’s. Reloading can be a meticulous and laborious task—but also rewarding. It can also feel intimidating. There are many steps, different methods, and more than one way to make a mistake, which can lead to a frustrating day at the range. So, why do it? For some, it’s a way to save money; for others, it’s a relaxing hobby; and for others still, it may be the pursuit of maximum accuracy and consistency. The Hornady High Speed 3-in-1 Power Case Trimmer is a compact, bench-mounted tool to help get maximum precision when reloading. Image: HornadyWhen I started reloading a decade ago, it was to cut costs. Specifically, it was to cut costs on things other than 5.56 NATO and 9mm (I buy those in bulk instead). That includes magnum handgun loads like .44 Magnum, or precision rifle rounds, like 6mm BR. However, these days I find myself spending less time loading ammunition. Frankly, there just isn’t as much free time as there used to be.Previously, one of my least favorite jobs was trimming cases. First, let me…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! South Carolina Democratic Senate nominee Dr. Annie Andrews appears to be distancing herself from her past opposition to restricting transgender athletes in girls’ sports, telling Fox News Digital she opposes biological males competing in women’s sports and gender transition surgeries for minors.As Democrats fight to regain control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections, Andrews is among a group of candidates in competitive races in red and swing states who seem to be shifting positions on transgender issues. Meanwhile, Republicans are aiming to use the highly-charged issue as a cudgel to bash Democrats for a second straight cycle.”I don’t support biological men playing in women’s sports, and I don’t support gender surgery on minors,” Andrews told Fox News Digital.Andrews, who’s locked in an increasingly competitive midterm election showdown with Republican Sen. Darline Graham in reliably red state South Carolina, delivers the same message in a new campaign commercial, adding “I want you to hear me loud and clear.”DEMOCRATS THINK A BLUE WAVE IS FORMER – HERE ARE THREE FACTORS THAT COULD STOP IT But Graham, who was appointed to the Senate following the sudden death this summer of her older…

If America engages in a ground war with Iran, the U.S. Army wants to ensure that its soldiers can recognize the enemy. A new U.S. Army poster depicts a soldier of the Iranian army. The graphics show a bearded soldier wearing sunglasses and a beret, with captions describing the various weapons he might carry and the uniforms he might wear. That the U.S. Army has a quick-recognition guide for Iranian soldiers doesn’t mean America will invade Iran. The Army’s Training and Transformation Command has a library of graphical recognition posters for the armies of various nations, including China’s People’s Liberation Army. The U.S.’s ongoing conflict with Iran has lasted nearly eight months. For now, both sides have waged war with aircraft, missiles and drones. But the possibility of American boots on the ground has always been present, such as seizing vital Iranian oil facilities on Kharg Island. The new guide, published Sept. 24, isn’t focused on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the praetorian guard of the Iranian regime that grabs most of the headlines. The IRGC controls many of the weapons that have been fired at American forces and Iran’s neighbors, including ballistic missiles, drones and fast-attack boats. Instead, the…

The Dallas Cowboys suffered their annual ’embarrassing loss that nobody saw coming’ Thursday night to the previously winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and it was due in large part to Dak Prescott.Put simply, the veteran signal-caller was bad. Really bad.Prescott led the Cowboys to a touchdown on the opening drive of the game, and then was invisible for the rest of the night. He finished with 316 yards, but threw two interceptions, including a game-ending pick on a tipped ball in the red zone on the final possession.It was a horrible night for the Cowboys. Just horrible.BRIAN SCHOTTENHEIMER NOW SITS ON HOTTEST SEAT IN NFL AFTER COWBOYS COLLAPSE AGAINST BUCCANEERS Jerry Jones was seen in his suite looking visibly frustrated after the last interception. Fans were on edge all night. Ceedee Lamb got hurt in the second half and barely played.Most importantly, Dak wasn’t very good …And everyone let him hear about it. I mean everyone:Dak Prescott should worry less about words, and more about his play”Embarrassing,” an unidentified person — who witnesses say was a car service driver — can be heard saying off camera.”You heard me,” he added.”You said it once I look off, huh?” Prescott then turns around…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! When you picture the person running an international ransomware operation, a 16-year-old probably does not come to mind. Yet investigators say a teenager was the suspected main operator behind KillSec, a cybercrime group linked to around 1,000 suspected attacks worldwide. About 500 of those attacks have so far been identified as successful.Now, an international law enforcement operation has taken KillSec’s leak site and key servers offline. Authorities also secured at least 110 terabytes of stolen data that could have been exposed or used to pressure victims. The takedown offers a remarkable look at how accessible cybercrime has become. More importantly, it shows how attackers continue to find their way into poorly protected systems and turn stolen files into leverage. What investigators uncovered about KillSec shows how the group operated, how AI reportedly played a role and what you can do to make ransomware attacks harder to pull off.Join us for a free CyberGuy LIVE class.Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson shares practical ways to stay safer, smarter and more confident with technology.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! French President Emmanuel Macron went full Orwell recently. While long the darling of Western media, Macron has been one of the most anti-free-speech leaders in the world. On Sept. 29, he declared that “The so-called American ‘free speech’ today, which some people have promoted, is the opposite of free speech.” Having Emmanuel Macron holding forth on free speech is akin to Joey Chestnut proselytizing on veganism.France has been in a headlong plunge into censorship and speech criminalization. These laws criminalize speech under vague standards referring to “inciting” or “intimidating” others based on race or religion.For example, fashion designer John Galliano was found guilty in a French court on charges of making antisemitic comments in a Paris bar in 2010 and 2011.MACRON TRASHES AMERICAN FREE SPEECH AS RIOTS GRIP FRANCE — INTERNET UNLOADS: ‘ENORMOUS FOOL’In another case, the father of French conservative presidential candidate Marine Le Pen was fined because he had called people from the Roma minority “smelly” in 2013. A French teenager was charged for criticizing Islam as a “religion of hate” in 2020. Many of us were disgusted recently when Macron celebrated Brigitte Bardot’s life as someone who “embodied a…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is confident that Democrats will win the Senate, but whether they support him as leader remains to be seen.Schumer, who has led the Senate Democratic Caucus since 2017, believes that Democrats have “wind in our sails” heading into what some Republicans fear could be a brutal midterm election in November.And win or lose, he plans to retain his spot as the top Democrat in the Senate.12 RACES SCRAMBLE SENATE BATTLEFIELD AS DEMOCRATS EYE COMEBACK “I am running for re-election for leader,” Schumer told Politico. “Period.”But some of his own candidates on the trail running in elections that could shape the balance of power in the Senate aren’t keen on supporting him to once again lead Senate Democrats since he took the mantle from his friend and mentor, the late Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev.Adam Hamilton, who has gained enough ground on incumbent Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., in ruby-red Kansas to make it a toss-up race, reiterated this week that he won’t support Schumer for leader in either a majority or minority.”And no disrespect for him at all, it’s just that I think we need new ideas,” Hamilton…
