Kennedy Jr.’s diet during an interview with podcast host Katie Miller on Tuesday.Rubio appeared with his wife, Jeanette, on “The Katie Miller Podcast”, during which Miller asked his thoughts about Kennedy’s reported diet of “red meat and fermented vegetables.””This is a crazy diet,” Rubio said in jest. “This is a diet that consists of eating sauerkraut and meat. Now you understand, like, this is not a sustainable thing … He has to travel with coolers of sauerkraut! I’m not going to travel the world with a cooler full of sauerkraut. It’s ridiculous. I can’t do it.”HOW MARCO RUBIO IS RIDING LAUGHTER AND MEMES TO SOCIAL MEDIA DOMINANCE During the exchange, Rubio clarified that he was in favor of Kennedy’s “MAHA,” or “Make America Healthy Again” movement, though his wife pushed back, claiming that he eats Pop-Tarts.”No, I don’t eat Pop-Tarts every day,” Rubio said.”You eat sweets,” Jeanette said.”The Pop-Tart is one of the great American innovations in the history of the world, if you think about it.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal is asking the Navy to account for conditions aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and detail the extensions to the ship’s original deployment schedule.The Connecticut Democrat, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, sent a letter on Wednesday to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao seeking information about the carrier’s long deployment and reports of problems involving basic supplies, water, plumbing, mental health, deck safety and mail.The letter comes one day after a Military Times report that detailed concerns of family members who said multiple sailors aboard the Lincoln had attempted to go overboard during the deployment, which has been indefinitely extended as the carrier supports U.S. military operations in the Middle East against Iran. The report also outlined various concerns raised by sailors and their families about conditions aboard the ship and the strain of the prolonged deployment.The Lincoln departed Naval Base San Diego on Nov. 21, 2025, for a deployment expected to last seven months, according to Blumenthal’s letter. The carrier is now sailing towards its ninth month of deployment and, according to the senator, has gone more than 200 days without a port call.Blumenthal asked the Navy to…

Next up from Jack Wolf Knives: the Eureka, a new single blade jack knife that will coming out under the Gateway series – which means entry level, but enthusiast-approved, materials, and a sub-$100 price point. Take a good look at the Eureka’s handle – does it remind you of anything? No? Well, then you must not be a dog owner, because that shape is called a dogleg, due to the joint-like bend in the middle, pointing spinewards. The history of the dogleg is a bit hazier than other, more common traditional knife patterns, further complicated by the fact that it is similar to other historical profiles, but the dogleg has been around for well over 100 years in one form or another, from manufacturers both here in the States and in the United Kingdom. The orange……it’s perfect Jack Wolf’s Eureka pairs the comfortable dogleg handle to a 2.83 spear point blade. Mostly straight until it turns up quickly to the tip, the edge geometry addresses a hefty swathe of EDC needs and will withstand day-to-day wear quite while thanks to 14C28N, which isn’t a current-gen steel in the strict sense, but one that we would consider to be a current…

Trump Holds Gold in his hand Courtesy: wvnews.com If you haven’t seen President Trump receiving gold last week, as a gift from mining executives, when announcing that the U.S. must become the mineral superpower, you missed the firing shot of the Wall Street bull market in commodities! Throughout the past 33 years, the U.S. has been engaged in systemic liquidation of its mining interests, deeming the resources it relies on, as a dirty industry, which can be outsourced. Last week, the Trump administration placed this industry at the top position in the hierarchy, literally saying that miners built the nation. Throughout my adult life, I have been told by American president that miners are greedy and irresponsible and ruin the environment – I just heard they are the true heroes of our civilization. This should make you as bullish as ever! We are witnessing the launchpad sequence for the most explosive gold breakout in monetary history, in my opinion. The price is headed to $10,000! Here are three undeniable catalysts driving this mega-rally right now. Eastern central banks are quietly cornering the physical gold market. Chief among them: the People’s Bank of China (PBOC).

The NFL preseason is generally a tough sell. Fans are excited that football is back, sure, but then the starters play a series or two, and a bunch of guys who aren’t going to make the roster finish the game.But the Cleveland Browns just gave us two reasons to pay attention to their first two preseason games.RAIDERS’ NO. 1 PICK FERNANDO MENDOZA WILL GET ‘PLENTY OF EXPERIENCE’ IN PRESEASON DEBUT THURSDAYHead coach Todd Monken informed his quarterbacks Wednesday afternoon that Deshaun Watson will start Cleveland’s preseason opener Saturday in Chicago against the Bears. Monken also plans to start Shedeur Sanders in the Browns’ second preseason game, at home against the Buffalo Bills on Aug. 22.Now we’re talking. Monken said the plan is for Watson and Sanders to play roughly a half apiece against Chicago, then flip the order the following week against Buffalo.Cleveland has spent the offseason treating its quarterback job like an actual competition, and Monken has backed that up with how he’s handled practice. Watson and Sanders have alternated days working with the first-team offense during training camp after both received opportunities with the starters during the spring.But preseason football is where that competition finally becomes something the…

The Pentagon will soon cover the cost for service members to freeze their sperm or eggs before they deploy to a danger zone or are separated from their significant others for more than six months on orders.In a notice expected in the Federal Register on Thursday, the Defense Department will launch a three-year pilot in September that will reimburse eligible troops to preserve their gametes before deployment.The benefit, required under the fiscal 2025 National Defense Authorization Act, will pay service members up to $500 per year for sperm retrieval and cryopreservation and $10,000 per year for egg preservation services.Those eligible include active-duty DoD personnel who receive orders qualifying for hazardous duty pay, those who expect to get such orders within 120 days and those geographically separated from a “spouse, domestic partner or dating partner” for 180 days or more.Military families and family planning advocates have lobbied for more than a decade to increase access to fertility services, to include cryopreservation of sperm and egg cells before combat deployments, in vitro fertilization and other advanced reproduction treatments.In 2014, the Bob Woodruff Foundation sponsored a one-of-a-kind, two-day conference on intimacy and family issues among the combat injured that highlighted the need among…

The Army is opening military test ranges to private industry, the service announced this month, including a Michigan site where companies can test drones and counter-drone systems against electronic warfare conditions modeled after those in Ukraine. Companies will be able to request range access even if they do not have an ongoing partnership with the government, according to the release. The effort, the Army says, is designed to hasten the development and testing of drones, counter-drone systems, long-range fires and cheap interceptors. The service said it is launching four ranges in the U.S. and one internationally. The ranges include Dugway Proving Ground in Utah, West Cibola Range in Arizona, Camp Shelby Joint Forces Training Center in Mississippi, Camp Grayling in Michigan and Africa Multidomain Training and Experimentation Center in Morocco. “A company with a good idea shouldn’t need a team of lawyers and a program of record just to prove their equipment works,” Army Secretary Dan Driscoll said in the release. “So we fixed that. One front door — testrange.army.mil — a real person to walk you in, and on the other side, everything the modern battlefield demands: contested airspace, degraded signals and the space to test at real scale.”The…
