In a heated Senate Armed Services Committee hearing today, Alaska’s Senator Dan Sullivan accused the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) Carlos Del Toro of breaking a critical shipbuilding law that legally requires the Navy and the Department of Defense to build a specific number of ships. The recent fight over amphibious warship procurement, as reported in a previous gCaptain article, played a significant role in the argument presented by Senator Sullivan. This comes two weeks after Congresswoman Betty McCollum – ranking member of the powerful Defense Appropriations Subcommittee – told Del Toro and Chief Of Naval Operations Admiral Mike Gilday...

Why Soylent Green was more prophetic than it seemsITEM: Insects are an ideal source of protein for denizens of a world facing climate change and a growing population.ITEM: The rise of government-assisted euthanasia produces a new source of organ donations.ITEM: A new startup that specializes in composting people seeks to raise $5 million in its latest funding round.Scenes from a 1970s dystopian science fiction film? Nah, just typical headlines from the past year. How apropos, then, that it should be the fiftieth anniversary year of one of that subgenre’s most iconic films, Soylent Green. And, while we’re counting anniversaries, we’ve...

A 23-year-old woman has been busted in the brutal knife attack of an Upper East Side juice bar worker last week that left the man fighting for his life, police said Wednesday. Chala Jamison, of Manhattan, was arrested Monday and charged with attempted murder and burglary after allegedly stabbing the 39-year-old clerk multiple times during an argument at Juice Island on Third Avenue near East 61st Street, cops said. The two were in an argument inside the store at around 8:30 p.m. on April 12 — when Jamison allegedly grabbed a knife off the juice bar counter and stabbed the...

For generations parents could look to the Disney Corporation for wholesome entertainment. The rescue of damsels in distress, the thwarting of evil, and the celebration of heroes were stories that could inspire young people to strive for accomplishment and pursue moral outcomes. Sadly, the company has shifted gears toward defiling its previous storytelling success. Instead of the affection and heroism of Disney's classic "Lady and the Tramp," the corporation's latest concoction "Pauline" has its teenage protagonist become so stressed out by school, climate change, and societal breakdown that she seeks comfort from a one-night stand with Satan. This follows 2022's...

Progressive Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., said Wednesday that immigrants are needed in America because they, among other things, "pick the food we eat," "clean our homes," and "rebuild our communities after climate disasters." Jayapal's comments – which some GOP colleagues and others criticized as stereotyping immigrants — came during a House Judiciary Committee markup of legislation pertaining to the immigration crisis, known as the Border Security and Enforcement Act of 2023. "Trump's policies, combined with his anti-immigrant rhetoric, made us less safe, less competitive in attracting the best and the brightest, and undermined our most basic human values of compassion...

People in Nashville weighed in on Bud Light facing backlash for partnering with a trans influencer, with some saying the brand won’t be forgiven easily. "I'm a Bud Light drinker and I don't drink it anymore as a result," one man, Rick, told Fox News. "I don't think I'll go back—not for a long time." But Trudy said the anger toward the brand is "very overblown." "That's not a reason not to drink a beer," she said. AMERICAN TELLS BUD LIGHT ‘TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE’ Bud Light remains embroiled in controversy after the brand sent transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney a...

With all the talk about issues between parents and America's public schools, students across Pennsylvania are learning about Jesus and the Bible, thanks to the unique approach of Bible2School.

Seeing this screenshot of an old, now-deleted TikTok video of Dylan Mulvaney from 2021 where he was very upset about not being able to find work UNTIL his friend wrote him a femme character is pretty damn eye-opening. Guess we understand why it’s deleted. Ahem. Gosh, Dylan really may not just feel like a girl. Whoda thunk?! It’s not that he was born in the wrong body, it’s that as a man he couldn’t get any work. So he’s taking acting gigs from real women. Because of course, he is.

Like George Washington before him, Donald Trump made it clear that he would not pursue a war detrimental to our nation. This is contrary to the Biden administration’s comfort with the potential for massive death and destruction if they further their political objectives. Unlike his political opponents in the Democrat and Republican parties, Donald Trump is very serious about the dangers that Americans face. Like Churchill in the mid-1930s, who repeatedly warned Great Britain and the world about Adolph Hitler and was ignored, Trump is the only one speaking about the Russo-China threat to our nation. Who else can lead...

Michigan leaders may be willing to put up as much as $300 million toward the unprecedented effort to restart a Michigan nuclear power plant. State officials may contribute millions in taxpayer dollars toward Holtec International’s attempt to get its Palisades nuclear plant upgraded and fired back up to provide 800 megawatts of carbon-free, base load power as the energy sector transitions away from fossil fuels. If successful, it would be the first nuclear plant in the nation returned to generating power after being decommissioned. The plant was shuttered last year when its owner exited the nuclear energy generation business and...

Popular Florida restaurant Grills Seafood, which has locations in Orlando, Melbourne and Port Canaveral, has severed ties with Bud Light amid the Dylan Mulvaney fallout. In a lengthy Facebook post on the restaurant’s official page, owner Joe Penovich cited his “biblical faith” as the main reason it will no longer sell Bud Light. Grills first opened in 1997. “It is true we made the decision to remove Bud Light because of their support of something that is in direct opposition to our Biblical faith,” Penovich wrote. “There is no judgement in our heart concerning those who believe in these rapidly...

ST LOUIS, MO — After suffering significant public relations and financial backlash since making trans activist and TikTok personality Dylan Mulvaney a spokesperson, parent company Anheuser-Busch is confident their new Bud Light commercial featuring a drag queen waving American flags will fix everything. "We've definitely learned our lesson!" said Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth in a statement released along with the new ad.

Joe Scarborough is notorious for dragging his background as a former Congressman into the Morning Joe conversation at every opportunity. So much so, that his self-centered obsession has become something of a running joke on the show. In a variation on his solipsism, Scarborough turned much of Morning Joe's discussion today of the settlement of Dominion's defamation case against Fox News into yet another chance to air his grievance against Donald Trump for having suggested that Scarborough could be responsible for the death of a former congressional aide of his.As MSNBC legal analyst Danny Cevallos was seeking to explain why...

A disheveled looking female driver has almost run over her boyfriend at a gas station before crashing her large black suburban into multiple cars and flipping the vehicle in crime-riddled Chicago. Kendra Nance, 31, reportedly had a fight with her partner before driving off and leaving a trail of destruction in Forest Park on Sunday. Forest Park police arrested Nance at about 3.15pm on the same day about a block away from the scene of the crash at a Thornton's gas station. Nance was a passenger in the Ford Explorer her boyfriend was driving when the feuding pair pulled into...

Parking garages across the US could be at risk of collapse over the weight of heavier electric vehicles, experts warned, as one such garage fell in Lower Manhattan, killing one person and injuring five. Chris Whapples, a structural engineer and consultant working on new regulations for multi-story garages in the UK, said officials need to understand how the rise in EVs will affect current car parks. “I don’t want to be too alarmist, but there definitely is the potential for some of the early car parks in poor condition to collapse,” Whapples told The Telegraph. “Operators need to be aware...

Border chief Alejandro Mayorkas should be impeached for refusing to enforce Congress’ border laws, said Rep. Mark Green (R-TN), the GOP chairman of the House homeland security committee. Green laid out the charges during a morning hearing on April 19, as Democrats defended Mayorkas with a fog of praise and pleas for more migration into the jobs and homes needed by Americans: Mr. Secretary, you took an oath where you swore to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and to faithfully discharge the duties of the office. Your job is to...

President Biden has formally invited three Tennessee lawmakers who disrupted legislative proceedings with a pro-gun control protest last month to the White House — but has no plans to meet with victims of the school shooting that prompted the demonstration, his top spokeswoman confirmed Wednesday. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the president will meet Monday with state Reps. Justin Jones (D-Nashville), Justin Pearson (D-Memphis) and Gloria Johnson (D-Knoxville), a little more than two weeks after Jones and Pearson were briefly expelled from the Tennessee House of Representatives over their March 30 demonstration. The White House flack said the...
