This article was originally published by Laura Harris at Natural News.  The U.S. Department of Education‘s proposed budget would be reduced by 15.3 percent, dropping to $66.7 billion for fiscal year 2026. The maximum Pell Grant award would be cut from $7,395 to $5,710 for the 2026 to 2027 academic year to address a $2.7 billion funding shortfall, though total Pell funding remains flat. Federal Work-Study would lose $980 million, with employers now required to cover 75 percent of student wages (up from 25 percent). TRIO and GEAR UP, programs aiding disadvantaged students, would be eliminated to save over $2.13 billion.…

The United States’ industrial might helped save the free world in World War II. William Knudsen, the Detroit auto titan turned wartime production chief, put it simply: “We won because we smothered the enemy in an avalanche of production.”Could the U.S. meet a similar mobilization challenge today? The answer is likely no without real changes to our acquisition system — and our adversaries know it.That’s why the House Armed Services Committee is advancing the SPEED Act — a bold, bipartisan reform effort to overhaul our broken acquisition system.Our acquisition process is too slow, risk-averse and bureaucratic to deliver the capabilities…

Lone Star lawmakers recently added aoudads to the list of animals hunters can shoot from helicopters in Texas as part of a management tool to aid in the ongoing fight against the invasive sheep.  Senate Bill 1245, which passed both state legislative chambers and was signed into law by Gov. Greg Abbott in May, will go into effect Sept. 1. The bill expands Texas’ aerial wildlife management permit system, which previously only listed feral hogs and coyotes, to include aoudad.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday cast doubt on the future utility of airborne battle management aircraft, particularly the E-7 Wedgetail, and said space-based capabilities represent the future of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.Hegseth’s skepticism of the E-7 and touting of space intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, or ISR, may presage a split between the Pentagon’s top leadership and Air Force leaders and some lawmakers who feel that airborne assets are still the best option for managing battlefields.The Air Force wants to buy 26 Boeing-made E-7s, which have been flown for years by Australia and are being bought by other nations such…

The military’s deployment of almost 5,000 National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles in response to immigration protests will cost around $134 million and last 60 days, the Pentagon’s acting comptroller told lawmakers in a hearing Tuesday. That funding will come from the Defense Department’s operations and maintenance budget and cover travel, housing, food and other incidental expenses, Bryn MacDonnel said at a House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense hearing. Together, the description gives the clearest sense yet of the military’s bill for the administration’s controversial deployments to the city. RELATEDIn the last several days, the Pentagon has approved 4,000…

Wildlife officials with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation have confirmed two photographs of mountain lion kittens in the state. The trail-cam photos shared by the agency Tuesday were captured in October and December 2024 in two different counties. Officials say the photos are the first concrete evidence they’ve seen of mountain lions potentially breeding in Oklahoma. That two-word disclaimer, “they’ve seen,” is notable, because mountain lion sightings have risen sharply in Oklahoma over the last few years. This has led many Oklahomans, including…

House appropriators on Tuesday advanced plans for a $831.5 billion defense budget for next fiscal year over concerns from Democratic lawmakers that the spending package is rushed and incomplete, since the White House still has not unveiled its own detailed funding plans for the military. However, the funding plan is designed to run alongside congressional reconciliation plans, which would add another $150 billion in funds for the Defense Department. Republicans assert the combination could bring total military spending for next year to nearly $1 trillion, even though those funds would be spread out over four years. “[This bill] provides the…

Ukraine’s ruler, Volodymyr Zelensky, is well aware that he cannot win the conflict against Russia on his own and is trying to drag NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) into it, Senator Tommy Tuberville, a Republican from Alabama, has said. This could plunge the world into a new world war, he warned. Tuberville made the statements on John Catsimatidis’ radio show, “Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770 AM on Sunday. According to the senator, the conflict between Moscow and Kiev is on the verge of spilling over to other nations and potentially involving the US military. Tuberville also accused Zelensky of trying…

Only days after protests against the administration’s immigration crackdown began in Los Angeles, President Donald Trump has ordered almost 5,000 troops — including 700 Marines — to the city in a stunning display of force.But the president hasn’t invoked the Insurrection Act, required for the military to conduct law enforcement on American soil.“You have violent people, and we’re not going to let them get away with it,” Trump told reporters Sunday, while also noting he didn’t think the violence amounted yet to an “insurrection.”The deployments, experts and former defense officials say, are technically legal but leave the military performing an…

Nobody foresaw, at the time it happened, that when Harold Patrick froze to death on a moose hunt in the bush north of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, in December 1958, his death would spark a search-and-rescue organization that would be the means of saving an unknown number of lives. But that’s how it turned out. Patrick went into the Pancake River country, 50 miles north of the Canadian Soo,…

The United States Pentagon has deployed 700 Marines to California to help quell the riots and protests against ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). The violent protests were sparked by the arrest of several suspected illegal immigrants. The protests erupted on Friday after the immigration authorities arrested over 40 people at a Home Depot parking lot and at the Ambiance Apparel clothing manufacturer on suspicion of using “fictitious employee documents.” Demonstrations denouncing Trump’s hardline immigration policy quickly spiraled into looting and violent clashes with police. –RT The Marines will support National Guard troops, whose presence on the streets is expected to increase…

The OODA Loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) is a decision-making approach used by military personnel that works in daily life, too. Whenever you enter a new environment—a parking lot, a coffee shop, a subway platform—run through these steps: observe, orient, decide, and act mentally. It helps you stay engaged and ready to respond. 3. Scan and Assess Train yourself to glance around and take note of exits, people around you, and anything that doesn’t seem to belong. You don’t need to stare at people or be nervous. Just be aware. Make a practice of scanning your surroundings, and it will…

After spending the better part of a decade transitioning outdated systems and infrastructure to the cloud, the Air Force agency responsible for providing key weather and environmental inputs for military and intelligence operations is starting to see a silver lining. Air Force Weather started its digital transformation in 2017 amid a broader U.S. government push to migrate away from siloed data centers to more secure, efficient and capable could-based environments. As the Air Force’s largest special-purpose data processing node — crunching around 80 terabytes of data, or the equivalent of 6.6 billion pages of text, a day — the organization…
