NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! FIRST ON FOX: A Democratic strategist has deployed a candidate look-alike that Republicans fear may act as a decoy and create confusion around their real nominee.Campaign material metadata reveals that Amber Lee, a progressive consultant, authored a press release announcing the Senate bid for a second “Dan Sullivan” — a figure Republican strategists say has nothing to do with incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska.”Mary Peltola and Chuck Schumer know they can’t beat Senator Sullivan on his record, so they’re resorting to deceitful political maneuvers that attempt to trick Alaskans and buy a seat,” National Republican Senate Committee Spokesperson Nick Puglia told Fox News Digital.Although Republicans have months to clarify the situation to voters before the state’s primary in August, the filing shows efforts to create confusion to sway a high-stakes Senate race.FORMER DEM REP. MARY PELTOLA ANNOUNCES U.S. SENATE RUN: “PUT ALASKA FIRST” The campaign website leans into the name overlap.”Dan Sullivan challenges Dan Sullivan for U.S. Senate Seat, urges Alaskans to defeat incumbent, elect a Sullivan who stands up for Alaska,” it reads.According to his biography, this second Sullivan spent his early career working blue-collar jobs like logging, construction, bartending and…

Construction is underway to transform 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue into an Ultimate Fighting Championship arena where President Donald Trump will celebrate his 80th birthday — which also coincides with Flag Day.The unprecedented June 14 bout on the South Lawn of the White House will feature an octagonal cage, a towering patriotic arch that looms well above the presidential residence, a performance by the United States Marine Band and seating for more than 4,000 spectators. Weigh-ins are scheduled to take place at the Lincoln Memorial.Davis Ingle, a White House spokesman, told Military Times on Friday that the endeavor “will be one of the greatest and most historic sports events in history, and President Trump hosting it at the White House is a testament to his vision to celebrate America’s monumental 250th anniversary.” American Justin Gaethje and Spanish-Georgian champion Ilia Topuria are slated to headline the card in a lightweight title fight, while Brazil’s Alex Pereira and France’s Ciryl Gane will square off for the heavyweight crown.Roughly 1,200 tickets are reserved for active members of the military, according to Dana White, the CEO of the UFC. The remainder will be distributed among celebrities and a roster of invitees selected by the Trump administration,…

The Timney HK trigger only works in the “SEF” triggers, not the “Navy” ones.Original MP5 triggers aren’t so great, but the Timney HK MP5 two-stage trigger fixes that.There was a time when whatever trigger arrived in your firearm was the trigger you lived with. No one was more hard core about “you will own it and you will like it” than HK. I sometimes wondered if there was a special branch of the in-house design bureau devoted to making HK triggers hard to live with.Well, no more.Timney has a drop-in (more or less) trigger pack for the HK series. By series, I mean the entire rifle, PCC and large-format pistol line. That’s the good news. The not-so-good news is that the Timney trigger pack only works with the “SEF” designed trigger assemblies and not the “Navy” ones.So, my CETME 7.62 and my Century Arms G3 clone can get a nice trigger for the future.My Navy-lower SD clone? Still outta luck. Sigh.The process is simple, if aggravating. Why? Read up on your HK hardware. I had forgotten and had to be reminded that not only has HK been making three-finger triggers, but they have also felt free to change designs and…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! EXCLUSIVE: The U.S. Coast Guard will be ending admissions for college students wanting to commission as officers that take race into consideration as part of the Trump administration’s continued anti-diversity, equity and inclusion initiative, Fox News Digital has learned.”The Trump Administration is more focused than ever on eliminating unconstitutional DEI policies like this one,” DHS General Counsel James Percival said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital on Friday.He added, “Racial quotas, like those included in this program for students who want to enlist and commission as officers in the U.S. Coast Guard, are a direct violation of the United States Constitution’s equal protection requirements. By getting rid of these unconstitutional diversity quotas, we are returning the Coast Guard’s focus to military readiness, upholding the law, and making America a safer place.”The College Student Pre-Commissioning Initiative (CSPI), program previously included a preference for students from schools that had met quotas for including students from specific racial groups.PETE HEGSETH DIRECTS MILITARY ACADEMIES THAT ALL FUTURE ADMISSIONS WILL BE BASED SOLELY ON MERIT The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced at end to those requirements on Thursday.”Eliminating racial quotas in federal programs remains…

The U.S. Space Force awarded SpaceX an over $4 billion contract for a program designed to track and target airborne threats globally from space.The $4.16 billion agreement is meant to boost the delivery timeline of a “space-based sensing layer” as part of the Space-Based Airborne Moving Target Indicator, or SB-AMTI, project, according to a Friday Space Systems Command release.“By focusing these capabilities to the space domain, we are providing the Joint Force with sustained battlespace awareness of contested airspace,” Col. Ryan Frazier, acting Space Force portfolio acquisition executive for Space Based Sensing & Targeting, said in the release.By 2028, the award is projected to field a constellation of satellites to assist the Joint Force in eliminating operational blind spots.The release states that traditional military airborne platforms to trace moving targets are confronting challenges as adversaries develop anti-access/area-denial systems, or A2/AD, propelling the need for more resilient tracking structures. The Space Force anticipates operating second- and third-generation SB-AMTI systems by 2035.The SB-AMTI program represents a “deeper collaboration” within the government space industrial base as it utilizes space-based sensors, secure and quick communication connections and ground processing, the announcement reads.“We will not leverage any one single provider; instead, we are partnering with…

This article was originally published by Lance D. Johnson at Natural News.  The United States and Israel have spent years assuming they can strike Iranian targets with impunity, violating ceasefire agreements and assassinating officials without consequence. That assumption just exploded along with a U.S. airbase near Bandar Abbas. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps struck back at 4:50 a.m. Thursday, targeting the American base it identified as the “origin of the aggression.” The IRGC’s warning was stark: Aggression will not go unanswered, and any repeat attack will draw a “more decisive” response. Key points: Iran struck a U.S. airbase in retaliation for a U.S. attack near Bandar Abbas airport. The United States and Israel are learning a hard lesson in the Middle East: not every nation will bow to airstrikes and broken agreements. The IRGC warned that any repeat aggression will draw a “more decisive” response. The attack occurred amid ongoing U.S. ceasefire violations in the region. Tensions have been building since Israel’s airstrike on the Iranian embassy in Damascus in April. Iran has framed its actions as “legal, rational, and legitimate” self-defense. The U.S. and Israel now face a far more capable adversary than in previous conflicts. The breaking point:…

Novak Djokovic looked to have a manageable path to a record-breaking 25th major title after world No. 1 Jannik Sinner’s historic collapse at Roland-Garros, also known as the French Open, but 19-year-old Brazilian João Fonseca had other plans.  It was an incredible five-set comeback victory over Djokovic, which may be remembered as one of the defining changing-of-the-guard moments in modern tennis. The 19-year-old Brazilian rallied from two sets down to defeat the 24-time Grand Slam champion 4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 7-5, 7-5. The loss was especially shocking because Djokovic had rarely squandered two-set leads in Grand Slam play, making Fonseca’s victory one of the biggest upsets of the season, and the earliest round exit at Roland-Garros for Djokovic since 2009. Before today’s match, Djokovic was 301-1 when leading two sets to none in his career. Even more historic, this was the first time he had lost to a teenager in his career. He was 18-0 against teenagers heading into Friday’s match.ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!The significance of the result extends far beyond a single match, though. At 39-years-old, Djokovic entered Roland-Garros chasing history, hoping to move ahead of Margaret Court’s all-time…

Congressional Republicans and Democrats included a short provision in proposed defense legislation on Tuesday that provides more clarification on what is needed for the construction of Trump-class battleships.Lawmakers in the House Armed Services Committee announced their $1.15 trillion fiscal year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, stipulating that the new battleship built in the president’s name will not begin construction until the munitions packages onboard are sound enough to deploy.The NDAA provides a foundational sum of money for the Trump administration’s proposed $1.5 trillion fiscal 2027 Defense Department budget.“The Secretary of the Navy may not enter into a contract or other agreement that includes a scope of work for the construction of the lead ship of the battleship program until the date on which the secretary certifies to the congressional defense committees that the weapon systems planned for inclusion in such lead ship are at a sufficiently mature technology readiness level,” the document says.The battleship will include a bevy of complex weapons systems, including hypersonic missiles, electromagnetic railguns and high-powered lasers, President Donald Trump announced in December 2025.The Navy’s hypersonic missile program is currently in its testing phase, as the service intends to field the weapon across sea-based platforms in the…
