I was wrong about the last hockey play that I had. It was just a couple of nights ago, and in this same matchup. Tonight, we have a Game 5 over in the Eastern Conference and the first game of the series where a team can officially make it to the Stanley Cup Finals. Either the Canadiens extend the series, or the Hurricanes finally punch their ticket.You almost feel sorry for the Montreal Canadiens. They’ve taken the postseason and had to play every single possible game. To their credit, they’ve persevered and won the first two series. I made a…

The U.S. Marine Corps has inked a $5.1 million contract with the virtual reality company XR Training (XRT) to develop a crew gunnery training prototype for the new amphibious combat vehicle that will simulate an all-out fight with an unpredictable adversary.The other transactional agreement, or OTA, contract award — used to fast-track prototyping and development — is the fourth such award for the company, which has assumed a significant role in the overhaul of Marine Corps amphibious vehicle training.While ACV is a more complex vehicle than its predecessor and fielded in multiple variants, the more rigorous approach to training is…

For most objective fans, it’s become clear that the Big Ten has surpassed the SEC as the dominant conference in college football. Just don’t tell SEC commissioner Greg Sankey or the conference’s coaches about the importance of on-field results. After years of them referencing those exact results.Sankey, speaking at the SEC’s spring meetings on Wednesday, once again struck, and once again struck a defiant, and inaccurate, tone. College Football Playoff executive director Rich Clark met with the conference and its coaches this week, explaining the “metrics” that go into the committee’s decision making and selection process. According to Sankey, it…

NEW TAIPEI CITY, Taiwan — U.S. President Donald Trump’s apparent move to delay a massive weapons sale to Taiwan after a summit with his Chinese counterpart will drive the island’s military further toward self-sufficiency, with sights on asymmetric warfare rather than technological might if ever in a war with China, analysts say.Days after Trump met Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing, the U.S. acting Navy secretary said a $14 billion arms package to Taiwan had been delayed.

These same walls that once harbored the joy of my grandfather’s courtship were the ones that eventually held the pain of the day my grandmother learned he had been killed in action during World War II.While growing up in this same house, I always knew of a box of letters my grandfather, Otis Bryant, had written from…

This article was originally published by Joshua Mawhorter at The Mises Institute.  In our modern, Western world, many justify the state and its policies because of the presupposition that the state—and the state uniquely—is an indispensable service-provider of essential services that could not or would not be provided by the free market or which would be underprovided were it not for the state’s collective provision. This is the public goods argument. It has become a cliche for defenders of the state to ask critics, especially libertarians, “But without the government, who would build the roads?” It is astounding that it has been…

Radio host Charlamagne tha God called out the former First Lady, the Bidens’ inner circle, and the entire Democratic Party, saying they damaged democracy itself by concealing concerns about former President Biden’s purported cognitive decline.One of the most decisive moments of the 2024 election was Biden’s disastrous debate with then-candidate Donald Trump.

With nations such as Iran protecting their arsenals by burying them deep underground, the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is searching for new types of bunker-buster bombs. The goal is to go beyond the traditional brute-force approach of giant bombs that rely on the force of gravity to smash their way deep into the ground before exploding. During World War II, the Royal Air Force dropped 22,000-pound “Grand Slam” bombs. Eight decades later, the U.S. Air Force has used the 30,000-pound GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator in the campaign against Iran. Now, DARPA wants to pivot away from the traditional…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Maine Republican state Sen. Trey Stewart is warning that Democrats are “selling their soul” by defending controversial Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner and that the Democratic Party is moving to a “dangerous place” if he wins a Senate seat in November.”The voters care a lot,” Stewart told Fox News Digital about the mounting criticisms of Platner, including deleted social posts where he described himself as a “communist” and “socialist,” used alleged homophobic slurs, and disparaged the military.”I think that he’s a flash in the pan for right now amongst extreme liberal Democrats…
