White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday that her predecessor, Karine Jean-Pierre, struggled in the role because she did not have an open relationship with former President Joe Biden.Leavitt spoke in an interview with Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk, saying President Donald Trump’s “authentic” approach removes the need for political spin.”I saw my predecessor in this role have a bit of a hard time,” Leavitt said, referring to Jean-Pierre. “I think it’s because she wasn’t able to communicate with her boss in a very open and transparent way.”KARINE JEAN-PIERRE INSISTS IT’S ‘NOT TRUE’ BIDEN SPOKE ‘WAY LESS’ TO THE PRESS THAN TRUMP In contrast, Leavitt described Trump as “honest” and open about his views with staff and the public.”He just lays it on the table. There’s no guessing, there’s no questioning, there’s no spin, it’s just, it is what it is with him,” Leavitt said.Jean-Pierre served as press secretary for nearly three years under Biden. She was frequently criticized by Republican lawmakers for relying heavily on notes and struggling to discuss the president’s positions beyond prepared remarks.She also frequently defended Biden’s mental acuity from the podium, although later reports would…
President Donald Trump on Friday requested a 10% cut in non-defense discretionary spending for fiscal 2027 and a massive $500 billion increase in defense spending, as the United States continues its war against Iran. The 2027 budget request comes as the president faces risky choices abroad, with the administration sending U.S. service members to the Middle East, and a public at home feeling the economic crunch of skyrocketing gas prices due to the conflict.The request ultimately requires approval by Congress, where disagreement over Trump’s spending decisions recently led to the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.The president’s budget also reflects the administration’s political priorities ahead of the 2026 midterm elections in November, when Trump’s Republicans hope to maintain their small majorities in both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.The huge proposed surge in defense spending to $1.5 trillion, up from about $1 trillion in 2026, includes a 5-7% pay raise for military personnel at a time when thousands of service members are actively deployed.The defense request will please defense hawks on Capitol Hill, but also highlights how Trump is trying to pay for his doubling-down on military pursuits, even after Republicans boosted defense spending last year in party-line legislation.The…
There is a certain clarity that comes with getting deep into the backcountry. Cell service fades, outside noise disappears, and your focus narrows to terrain, weather, time, and decision-making. That is a big part of why many of us seek it out in the first place. Putting the Garmin inReach Mini 2 through its paces in a harsh desert environment. Remote terrain like this is exactly where its satellite features prove their value. That clarity also comes with responsibility. Once you are far enough out, help is not immediate, mistakes compound quickly, and communication shifts from convenience to capability. That is where the Garmin inReach Mini 2 has earned a permanent place in my kit. Background I have used satellite communicators for years in one form or another, but the inReach Mini 2 is the one that stuck. It is not my primary navigation tool, and it is not my only line of communication. It is a backup to my backup, and that is exactly why I trust it. If my phone dies, loses service, or becomes unusable in a remote area, this device still allows me to send messages, track my route, navigate back to safety, and, if things…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! RIVERHEAD, N.Y. — A suspected child rapist from Guatemala who could have been released without bail under New York law was instead sent to Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody in a move that skirted the state’s sanctuary policies while keeping him off the streets for months before prosecutors secured an indictment, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office.”Two progressive reforms…had to be navigated deftly to hold the defendant responsible for his alleged horrific crimes,” District Attorney Ray Tierney said in a statement.Due to the state’s controversial policies, prosecutors weren’t even allowed to ask the judge to set cash bail or bond on the initial charge of endangering the welfare of a child, according to the DA’s office.And because of the state’s 2020 “Protect Our Courts Act,” ICE agents could be subject to prosecution if they arrested the suspect at the courthouse following his no-bail release.IGNORED ICE DETAINERS ‘PUT LIVES AT RISK,’ DHS SAYS, TARGETING NEWSOM, PRITZKER, HEALEY “Incredibly, up in Albany right now there are new sanctuary laws currently under consideration that would have prevented us from even talking to federal immigration authorities,” Tierney said. “My message to our state legislators…
This is a developing story. A United States fighter jet has been shot down over Iran, a U.S. official told Reuters. A search-and-rescue effort for survivors involving numerous U.S. aircraft is currently underway.The official, who spoke to Reuters on the condition of anonymity, did not provide any additional details on the engagement. The Pentagon and U.S. Central Command did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Officials in Iran, meanwhile, called for the search and capture of any surviving crew members of the jet, according to reports by the semi-official ISNA news agency and the Young Journalists Club. The governor of one of the Islamic Republic’s provinces stated that anyone who captures or kills the crew would receive a special commendation. Video circulating on social media appeared to show a low-flying U.S. Air Force HC-130 refueling a pair of HH-60G Pavehawks over Iran during what appear to be search efforts for the downed air crew.Iranian media on Thursday shared an image of an Advanced Concept Ejection Seat from the allegedly shot down F-15E Strike Eagle. The prospect of U.S. pilots being alive and on the run inside Iran during an ongoing conflict greatly raises the stakes for the United States.U.S.…

MoreAn Iranian missile strike damaged five U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker refueling aircraft on the ground at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, two U.S. officials told The Wall Street Journal.The aircraft were parked on the flight line at the time of the strike and sustained damage but were not destroyed, according to the officials. The tankers are being repaired and are expected to return to service. No U.S. personnel were killed in the attack, The Wall Street Journal reported.President Donald Trump disputed those characterizations in a Saturday Truth Social post, saying, “The Base was hit a few days ago, but the planes were not “struck” or “destroyed.” Four of the five had virtually no damage, and are already back in service. One had slightly more damage, but will be in the air shortly. None were destroyed, or close to that.” Trump singled out The Wall Street Journal by name, saying its reporting was “the exact opposite of the actual facts.”U.S. Central Command declined to comment on the strike.Prince Sultan Air Base has served as a key hub for U.S. aerial refueling operations supporting Operation Epic Fury, the joint U.S.-Israel campaign against Iran.

SETERMOEN, Norway — Norway’s elite soldiers for Arctic warfare swear by an old-fashioned method for staying hidden from drones’ sophisticated sensors: quinzhees, or snow caves, carefully dug by hand.Deep in Norwegian woods, some 400 kilometers away from the Russian border, an officer of the Norwegian Long Range Reconnaissance Squadron is hidden in a snow-made shelter, with only his light-grey firearm peeking out.The officer, nicknamed Poster Boy, is part of the country’s elite Arctic task force, designed to operate far behind enemy lines to conduct surveillance missions. The snow cave serving as his concealment is known as a quinzhee, 1.5m high and 2m wide, built by piling snow together and allowing it to sinter, or harden, a task force specialty.“It’s a constant evolution of what works and what doesn’t for us – what worked four years ago might not work today due to all the technology developments of equipment designed to catch us, some years ago a tent and camouflage could’ve been sufficient but not anymore,” the officer, who spoke anonymously because of the sensitivity around the unit, told Defense News.Training here alongside the Norwegian soldiers were several other nations’ elite unit, including U.K. Royal Marines and soldiers of the Canadian…

NCAA national champion gymnast Olivia Dunne came to grips with the idea she may not be “cut out” for watching her boyfriend, Paul Skenes, pitch with enormous stakes attached.Skenes was on the mound for Team USA to start their World Baseball Classic semifinal game against the Dominican Republic. He allowed a home run to Junior Caminero but buckled down and didn’t allow another run to cross the plate. In the fourth inning, the Dominican Republic had a good chance to get more runs on the board with the bases loaded. Skenes got catcher Austin Wells to fly out, ending the threat.Dunne posted a video to her TikTok page, showing herself nervously watching Skenes work his magic.”When someone says they’re stressed but they’ve never watched their man get out of a bases loaded jam repping the USA,” she wrote as the video’s screen caption.CONTROVERSIAL STRIKE THREE GIVES TEAM USA WIN AT WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC, SOCIAL MEDIA ERUPTS Dunne added in the comments that she wished she was acting.”I am not cut out for this,” she added in the caption.Skenes lasted 4.1 innings and struck out two batters.

He is now assigned to the Special Warfare Training Wing, Air Force officials confirmed to Military Times.While Goggins did not publicly announce his return to active duty, the military-focused Instagram page “Come.Sit.And.Relax” set veteran communities abuzz March 13 when it posted a photo of Goggins in an Air Force uniform with a group of trainees in black berets.“Kept quiet on this for months until it inevitably went public,” the page’s author wrote. “David Goggins trying again for Pararescue at 51 after quitting so many years ago.”Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek said the service, in accordance with policy, could not discuss the status, progression, or details of current trainees.

The Leupold Mark 4 has easily been one of the most prolific military and law enforcement scopes available. While the flagship Mark 5HD scopes superseded that family, for years, professionals and serious shooters like myself asked when it would come back. The author tests the Leupold Mark 4HD 4.5-18x scope on the shooting range. Mounted to a Springfield Model 2020 Heatseeker and locked into a tripod, he has a solid base from which to evaluate the glass. Thankfully, it did as the new Leupold Mark 4HD line of scopes. These build upon a strong pedigree, while also being up to date for modern shooters. For this instance, I want to discuss the Leupold Mark 4HD 4.5-18X52 M1C3 Side Focus FFP with the PR2-MOA reticle system. For my review, I chose to mount this scope on my Springfield Armory Model 2020 Heatseeker in .308 Winchester. [Be sure to read Ian Kenney’s detailed explanation on how to mount a scope.] The Mark 4HD 4.5-1852 M1C3 Side Focus FFP PR2-MOA from Leupold is designed for long-range shooting, hunting or tactical use. Key features include a 4.5-18X magnification range, 52 mm objective lens, side-focus parallax adjustment (down to 25 yards), first focal plane (FFP)…
United States ruler, Donald Trump, has claimed that Iran “is being decimated,” while the “fake news” mainstream media outlets lie about it. Trump has threatened the outlets with “treason” over their reporting of the Iran war. On Sunday, Trump composed and published a long Truth Social post in which he made all kinds of claims about the reporting on the war, and how horribly Iran is being “decimated.” “The fact is, Iran is being decimated, and the only battles they ‘win’ are those that they create through AI, and are distributed by Corrupt Media Outlets,” Trump wrote. He also disparaged the mainstream media, accusing them of knowingly colluding with Iran to cast doubt on Washington’s decisive “victory,” accoridng to a report by RT. According to the president, Tehran has circulated fabricated footage showing attacks on U.S. military assets, including alleged strikes on refueling aircraft and naval vessels. Trump described the outlets that published the “fabricated” reports as “Corrupt and Highly Unpatriotic ‘News’ Organizations.” He added that the media is spreading “knowingly FAKE” information, and those who do “should be brought up on Charges for TREASON for the dissemination of false information.” Trump claimed that some of the images depict non-existent “kamikaze boats”…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Every so often, we receive an email that stops us cold. Not because it is dramatic. Not because it is careless. Because it feels impossible. Sheri M. from Georgia recently wrote to us with this question:”Yesterday I learned that someone had stolen my debit card information. I was alerted by my bank about 10:00 p.m. last night that someone tried to use my card in Brazil. I am in the Southern United States and have never traveled outside the country. What I have trouble understanding is that this particular debit card has never been used and has never been out of a locked vault. It has been activated, and once activated, I locked it up. No one had access to it, no questions about that. It is just not possible. So how could someone have my card information?
