In the afternoon of Aug. 24, 1814, First Lady Dolley Madison wrote in her journal: “We have had a battle…near Bladensburg, and I am still here within sound of the cannon!”Within a few hours, that cannonade would come steadily closer until the British 3rd Brigade marched into Washington, D.C., virtually uncontested and proceeded to burn the city’s public buildings, including the Capitol, the chambers of the Senate and House of Representatives, the Treasury Department and the War Office.Adm. George Cockburn himself helped his men loot the White House — who purportedly sat down and helped themselves to President James Madison’s…

Are we sure Mike Vrabel is safe as head coach of the New England Patriots?After the New York Post published photos of Vrabel hugging and holding hands with reporter Dianna Russini earlier this month, the assumption was that his job was not in danger. The reasoning was simple. He is paid to win football games.Conversely, the photos raised questions about Russini’s ethical standards as a reporter. She resigned from The Athletic a week after they surfaced.But as the story continues to spiral, there is less certainty around Vrabel’s status.JORDON HUDSON SHARES OLD POST AIMED AT CRITICS AFTER BILL BELICHICK’S TUMULTUOUS…

In the past week, some Coast Guard families have had their electricity shut off as a result of unpaid bills.

Kevin Lunday said Tuesday.Coasties scheduled to move this summer also have mounting credit debt as a result of restrictions on advanced pay for travel, and some have postponed medical treatment or delayed major expenses to avoid costs.Civilian Coast Guard employees…

Rubio added that the U.S. ruling class will not allow Iran to continue to use the vital waterway to control the direction of the war.

While speaking on Fox News on Monday, as reported by RT, Rubio was skeptical of…

The PGA Tour is returning to Trump National Doral this week for what will be the inaugural playing of the Cadillac Championship.

And it wasn’t just any statue, but one of President Trump throwing his fist in the air following the July 2024 assassination attempt on his…

The Pentagon’s fiscal 2027 budget request seeks 85 F-35 Lightning II fighters across the joint force, up from 47 in fiscal 2026. The increase would mark the largest single-year F-35 buy from the Pentagon since fiscal 2022 and a sharp reversal from last year’s reduced procurement.The headline number depends on Congress passing a separate funding bill. Only 32 of the 85 requested aircraft are funded through the base discretionary budget. The remaining 53 are tied to a $350 billion mandatory funding request that the administration plans to pursue through a second reconciliation bill, alongside the $1.15 trillion base topline. That…

A new model from Civivi is noteworthy for any aspiring butterfly knife maestros out there. The Dracolisk is a balisong model that the company is rolling out exclusively in edgeless, practice-friendly versions. Balisongs, maybe more than any other sub-genre in the knife market, are a world unto themselves. Not only are there enthusiasts who like to carry butterfly knives everyday, but there are many interested solely in flipping and related tricks it is possible to do with the format’s unique two-handle construction. But regardless of where a particular bali-head falls on that spectrum, there is always the looming necessity of…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is being roasted online for a brutal resurfaced video of her misreading World War II as “World War Eleven” during a Capitol Hill news conference.Omar, the first Somali American member of Congress, made the error during her opening remarks at a Democratic news conference last year on the reintroduction of the “Neighbors Not Enemies Act.” The bill, which did not pass, was aimed at opposing President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement, particularly his invocation of the Alien Enemies Act.The congresswoman railed that the “last time the Alien Enemies Act…

Last week, Palantir Technologies, headed by Peter Thiel and Alex Karp, released a technological manifesto. However, it was more of a dystopian blueprint than anything else. Palantir has unmasked itself, revealing its authoritarian face and desire for control over humanity. To be fair, Palntir is only one of several major technology companies that sell their technologies to systems of repression and human rights violations, and has been condemned by international human rights organizations. It has been participating in and enabling forced deportations, mass surveillance, and the persecution of dissidents. According to a report by TruthDig, the most damning of all…
