MoreI’ve said it many times, unironically: Joey Chestnut is one of, if not the most dominant athletes of all time.But even Michael Jordan took a couple of losses in his day, and the man they call “Jaws” just took a heartbreaking loss in a tater tot eating contest during his barnstorming tour of minor league baseball stadiums.However, this loss will come with one big, fat asterisk.JOEY CHESTNUT REVEALS FOODS HE WON’T EAT IN COMPETITION AS HE TOURS MINOR LEAGUE STADIUMS FOR LOCAL DELICACIES Chestnut has been going around the country for special events and doing what he does best, eating copious amounts of food and obliterating the competition in the process.However, when he rolled into a Lake Country DockHounds game just outside of Milwaukee, Chestnut met his match.He lost the tater tot eating contest by just one tenth of an ounce.Down goes Chestnut! Down goes Chestnut!A stunner. I can’t even wrap my head around how much tater tot is equal to a tenth of an ounce. I wish I had a bag of Ore-Ida’s and a kitchen scale on me to figure it out (I checked the freezer; no tots, but there was a freezer-burned bag of Arby’s curly fries…
The U.S. Marine Corps on Wednesday identified the loss of a Marine recruit after he suffered a medical emergency at Camp Pendleton, California.Pvt. Aiden Craig, 18, died on Aug. 5 after initially suffering from an undisclosed ailment during a routine physical fitness test. Craig was taken to Tri-City Medical Center in Oceanside, California, and pronounced dead four days later.The Texas native enlisted in the Marines on June 1, 2026, and was assigned to Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego. Craig was on day 47 of recruit training at the time of his medical crisis — roughly halfway through the 13-week boot camp — according to USMC officials. Craig posthumously earned the title of Marine, MCRD San Diego confirmed to Military Times.The investigation into Craig’s death is ongoing, “and no further information will be released at this time,” according to the Marine Corps. Claire Barrett is an editor and military history correspondent for Military Times. She is also a World War II researcher with an unparalleled affinity for Sir Winston Churchill and Michigan football.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Tyler Mane, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, believes his wife may have saved his life.The actor is teaming up with his wife, Renae, for a candid new podcast, “Mane AF,” tackling the realities of “midlife, marriage and mayhem.” The couple will also open up about one of their most personal challenges yet: navigating his diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC).Mane made his feature-film debut as Sabretooth in 2000’s “X-Men” and later reprised the role as Wolverine’s nemesis in 2024’s “Deadpool & Wolverine.” He also starred as Michael Myers in 2007’s “Halloween” and 2009’s “Halloween II,” and appeared as Ajax in 2004’s “Troy.”FORMER WRESTLER, ACTOR REVEALS BREAST CANCER DIAGNOSIS: ‘ONE IN 750 MEN’ “She just kept insisting,” the former wrestler told Fox News Digital about seeing a doctor. “I kept talking about it, ‘I have this lump here still, and it’s hard.’ And she was very insistent because women are trained from a certain age that if they feel something in their breast area, go get it checked out.””I have to thank her,” he said. “She saved my life by saying, ‘Get in there and get tested.'” When the 59-year-old first…
Last month, the Marine Corps introduced new service-level training to teach Marines how to counter small combat drones with weapons currently available in their arsenal. The training commenced with a three-day event at Twentynine Palms, California, where Marines from the 1st and 2nd Marine Divisions learned how to shoot down small unmanned aerial systems, or sUASs, with rifles, shotguns and grenade launchers, according to a recent release. Capt. Faith Richardson, a platoon commander with the Tactical Training and Exercise Control Group, said in the release that they aimed to give Marines “a realistic look at the threat.”For the exercise, TTECG created counter-sUAS lanes where Marines engaged simulated enemy drones from distances as close as 20 meters, or around 65 feet. Controlled by members of TTECG, nicknamed “Coyotes,” the drones reach speeds at over 90 miles per hour. “The intent of the C-sUAS lanes was to build the confidence of our Marines to target sUAS and complete the mission,” Richardson added. Inside the lane, Marines practiced using an assortment of weapons, including the M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle, the M1014 shotgun, and M32A1 and M320 grenade launchers as well as electronic anti-drone weapons. In addition to the live-fire training, the event included…
Open carry — the wearing of a holstered gun in plain view in public — has become a hot-button issue among our nation’s pistol-packers. There are, naturally, talking points on both sides of the debate. A few years ago, Mark Walters invited me to join a panel on this topic on his popular show, Armed America Radio. One of the panelists was an outspoken advocate of open carry. Another was a law enforcement officer just as adamantly opposed to the practice. I was the one in the middle on the issue. Open carry means wearing a holstered handgun in plain view, like this 1911 worn during a game of billiards. Whether that visibility deters trouble or invites it is the heart of the debate. I was reminded during that show of the NRA official who long ago said that in polarized debates, the only things in the middle of the road are yellow stripes and dead skunks. Given the intensity of emotions on this issue, the middle of the road is not a comfortable place to be … yet here I am. The Talking Points: Pro The arguments put forth in favor of openly carrying handguns in public seem to boil…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A retired Air Force lieutenant colonel who carried the nuclear “football” for former President Bill Clinton says the extraordinary Air Force One shell game departing Ankara, Turkey last month to protect President Donald Trump from a potential attack was hardly unprecedented.”It was brilliant,” retired Lt. Col. Robert “Buzz” Patterson told Fox News Digital. “I wish I had been a part of it. That’s how well done it was.”But Patterson is warning that exposing the vital national security secrets behind such operations could put presidents, military personnel and the White House press corps in danger for years to come.Patterson served as Clinton’s senior military aide for a period of two years and was responsible for the president’s emergency satchel, and in a 20-minute interview Wednesday, he explained how presidential decoys, aircraft swaps and other acts of deception are longstanding tools used to protect the commander in chief, his senior officials and the “privileged” Air Force One press corps.TRUMP USED CATERING TRUCK, AIR FORCE ONE DECOY TO EVADE IRAN THREAT: REPORTWhat alarms him, Patterson said, is not that Trump’s security team used the tactic – including the catering truck sleight of hand he was…

MoreThe line at the Wendy’s drive-thru barely moved as Hailey Richards sat behind the wheel during her lunch break, staring into the rear-view mirror beneath a pair of dark sunglasses. The driver behind her had pulled close enough that she found herself wondering whether they could tell she was crying. “I just broke down,” Richards said.In a few minutes, she would wipe away the tears, drive back to the Department of Veterans Affairs hospital where she worked as a nurse and finish caring for veterans. At the time, she couldn’t explain why an ordinary Tuesday afternoon had become the moment everything surfaced. Looking back, she doesn’t think it was about that day at all.Richards became a nurse because she wanted to care for veterans. She loved listening to stories about their coffee mugs no one dared wash because years of coffee had seasoned them just right. Albert, a Vietnam War veteran, actually got her to drink from his mug one morning after repeatedly assuring her the taste was like no other. She listened to their sea stories, anecdotes about deployments, friendships and losses that still lingered decades after the uniforms came off. More recently, the moments that stick in her…
The Hi Power, known generically as P-35 because it was introduced in 1935, is a modern classic. Conceived by the incomparable John Moses Browning and finalized into the form we know it by his protégé Dieudonne Saive after Browning’s death, the P-35 was adopted by many nations, and it was manufactured in multiple countries — sometimes with a license, and sometimes not. The author, Massad Ayoob, shot a maximum score of 300 out of 300 with this borrowed Springfield Armory SA-35 during a training class demonstration. Image: Gail Pepin For decades it was the official military gun of the British Commonwealth nations and indeed, a majority of NATO countries. During World War II, even the Nazis used the Hi Power after they overran Belgium and took over the FN factory. The CIA also had quite a few in their armory. It was the first popular double-stack 9mm, its magazine holding 13 rounds of 9mm. Many considered it John Browning’s ultimate handgun design. The grip shape fit both small and large hands. It was reliable with the full metal jacket 9mm Luger it was designed for. An Imperfect Classic? However, it had its shortcomings. Its burr hammer often bit the web of…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A meteorite that crashed through the roof of a New Jersey home two years ago contains some of the building blocks of life, scientists say — and is among the rarest space rocks ever recovered.The meteorite fell in Hillsborough, New Jersey, on July 16, 2024, and is the subject of a recent study published in Science Advances on July 15 — just shy of its two-year anniversary on Earth.The homeowner heard a “loud crash” at the time and found a hole in the ceiling that “covered the bed, carpet and surrounding areas,” according to a release from the SETI Institute, a private research organization based in Mountain View, California.ANCIENT ARTIFACTS FOUND BENEATH CAPE CANAVERAL SPACE FORCE STATION AS ONE MYSTERY STILL STUMPS RESEARCHERS”I smelled a strong sulfur-like odor and saw many black fragments,” said the homeowner, in a comment originally given to the scientists and researchers at SETI and NASA. No one was injured at the time, though the property was damaged. “The meteorite had broken into many fragments, including dust, and a strong sulfur-like odor was present in the 122 air,” said the report.Researchers identified it as a rare intermediate CM1/2 carbonaceous…
As the fifth anniversary of the U.S. military’s chaotic departure from Afghanistan approaches, tens of thousands of the Afghan allies America promised to protect remain at risk — either still under threat in their home country or facing instability and limbo abroad. The veteran-led organization AfghanEvac hopes a new AI-powered tool will benefit from the extensive data it’s gathered about the tortuous visa and asylum application process to help new applicants find the most promising pathways to help. The Visa Pathways and Relocation Information Center, or V-PRIC, launched earlier this month and has seen more than 30,000 visits in its first week live, said Shawn VanDiver, the Navy veteran who founded and leads the organization. While the tool requires users to verify that they understand it won’t provide vetted legal advice, it aims to simplify daunting and confusing options and find the pathway most aligned with their circumstances.When users select “find my pathway,” they’re prompted to enter information about their current location, their eligibility as an Afghan who worked for the U.S. and whether they’re in danger now. They’re also asked to write a brief statement in their own words describing their story and situation.Then, the tool uses its database…
It doesn’t get much more dog days of summer than this morning across the U.S. The sun is out for another edition of Monday Screencaps, but there’s smoke in the air and we get just two NFL teams opening their training camps this week.Weekend observations to get the week rolling:I spent nearly four hours Saturday trying to prevent Verizon from bending me over. We’re in a transition period where it’s time for Screencaps the III to get an Apple Watch as he starts to add events to his social resume. I’m not here for a philosophical debate on kids having devices. If we’re sending him to houses where there aren’t home phones, then we need a way to communicate. Anyway, we went to an authorized Verizon store to run some numbers. Big mistake. Sales guy gives us a number and our “Services & Perks” number jumped $70. “Why is this number so high?” I asked. Sales guy calls my bluff. “Don’t worry about that number, worry about your monthly bill. See, it doesn’t go up that much,” he tells me without answering what services and perks I’m getting. I tell the kids we’re leaving. Sales guy is stunned. STUNNED. We walk out. After getting…
The next step toward further integrating semiautonomous aircraft into the U.S. Air Force and building trust with human operators would be through simulations and training exercises, a former Air Force secretary said.Frank Kendall, the Air Force’s 26th secretary who served under former President Joe Biden, said in a Thursday roundtable hosted by Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies that gathering experience in the field and through simulations help operators establish trust with autonomous systems, like the Collaborative Combat Aircraft.“You have to accumulate a basis for trust over time, and so I think we just need to think carefully about how we structure things in order to make that opportunity,” Kendall said during the roundtable.Earlier this week, the Air Force announced that it conducted the first-ever live-fire test of an inert AIM-120 from an Anduril-made YFQ-44A. The CCA recently completed an end-to-end, beyond-line-of-sight strike against a simulated target, the service announced, but did not specify when the exercise occurred.The Air Force is scheduled to continue live-fire testing with General Atomics’ YFQ-42A this fall.Kendall said that using the aircraft in Red Flag, the service’s leading large-force aerial combat training simulation held at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, will be “fascinating,” but he worries…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream. Targeting military assets isn’t going to wreck the global economy, but targeting key infrastructure could. The damage that has already been done to oil and natural gas infrastructure in the Middle East is going to take years to fully repair and rebuild. But so far, the damage that has been done has been somewhat limited. If both sides decide to start conducting all-out attacks on oil and gas infrastructure, the world would be facing an unprecedented energy crisis with no end in sight. Unfortunately, it appears that such a scenario could potentially be ahead of us. A couple of days ago, President Trump told Fox News that the U.S. military would keep hitting Iran really hard for the next several nights… “We’re going to hit them very hard tonight. We’re going to hit them very hard tomorrow night. We’re going to hit them very hard the night after… We’re going to knock out all their power plants, we’re going to knock out all their bridges, unless they get to the table and negotiate.” Of course, that is precisely what we have witnessed. There has been bombing night…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! ABC News host Jonathan Karl challenged Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., on Sunday over whether Virginia requires photo identification to vote as the pair debated Democratic opposition to the SAVE America Act.Karl began the exchange by asking Warner whether his party should support national photo identification requirements for voter registration and voting, citing broad bipartisan public support for the policy.”Now, I understand that you and I think every other Democrat opposed this so-called SAVE America Act. And there’s a lot of reasons that you’ve put forward. But let me ask you very narrowly on the issue of photo I.D., requiring photo I.D. to register to vote, to vote. Is this something that Democrats should get behind?” Karl asked on “This Week.” SENATE FACES ‘COME-TO-JESUS’ MOMENT ON TRUMP’S ELECTION PRIORITY UNDER GOP’S NEW PLANKarl then cited statistics on support for the SAVE America Act and Warner pointed to the rules in his home state and began describing his own experience before the ABC News host interrupted him.”You know what?

LONDON – As militaries prepare for a new age of air combat defined by ever-evolving unmanned aerial systems, one defense company is betting that the workload of fighter pilots will swell far beyond flying an aircraft to include directing swarms of drones. At Farnborough Airshow this week in London, BAE Systems unveiled a helmet-mounted prototype it says is intended to explore how future pilots may be able to operate under battlefield conditions they anticipate to be saturated with unprecedented amounts of data. Called Project Intuity, the demonstrator is intended to help pilots manage input from multiple sources by projecting information onto the helmet’s visor. “As allies move towards aircraft that act as combat command centers, future operations will demand that pilots process more information from more sources than ever before,” Andrew Macklin-Smith, the company’s product line director for helmet-mounted displays, said in a release.“Through Project Intuity, we’re addressing that challenge by integrating the technologies to allow pilots to command fleets of drones in the skies,” he added. “This system will achieve that by filtering and presenting the most important information clearly and within the pilot’s natural field of view.” BAE did not yet say whether the demonstrator is tied to…
