The Air Force has been overpaying for basic soap dispensers for its aircraft fleet — to the tune of nearly $150,000 in extra costs, according to the Pentagon’s watchdog agency.
The Department of Defense’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) launched an investigation into the Air Force’s expenditures on spare parts for its fleet of C-17s, the military’s largest transport aircraft. The investigation report, released on Tuesday, found that not only had Air Force officials massively overpaid by hundreds of thousands of dollars for some spare parts, but spent 7,943 percent more than it should have on soap dispensers for restrooms on the aircraft, or “more than 80 times the commercially available cost.”

The Biden-Harris administration has made undermining trust in institutions a central tactic. While they claim to fight authoritarianism, their real battle is against the checks and balances that limit their power. For them, separation of powers, Article III, and the First Amendment are affronts to their quest for centralized authority.
Leaks, once a tool for exposing corruption, are now wielded as political weapons — not to uncover wrongdoing but to sow chaos and erode public confidence in the courts. This is not about transparency; it’s about controlling the narrative.

Volkswagen (VW) said Wednesday that it needs to cut costs amid slackening consumer demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and weaker car sales in China.

Since former President Donald Trump’s first presidential run in 2016, his opponents have thrown an endless series of derogatory terms toward him and supporters. But while some terms attracted scandal eight years ago and even energized the Trump base, the Democrats’ penchant for smearing MAGA supporters and other dissident groups has become a central part of their messaging as Trump appears poised to make a return to the White House.

A federal court on Monday sentenced an American Navy Reserve officer to two-and-a-half years in prison for his role in helping Afghan nationals obtain special visas into the United States in exchange for cash.
Jeromy Pittmann, a 53-year-old U.S. Navy Reserve commander from Florida, was sentenced to 30 months in prison for the years-long scheme which included drafting and submitting fraudulent letters of recommendations on behalf of Afghans who applied for Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs), according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). The sentencing follows warnings by federal watchdogs that the vetting of Afghans into the U.S. after the botched military pullout of the country was poorly conducted.

Fox News’ Karl Rove said Tuesday that Republican nominee Donald Trump only needs to win one state between Pennsylvania, Georgia or Michigan in order to become president-elect.
Trump would win 252 electoral votes if he wins the battleground state of Arizona, Nevada, and North Carolina on Election Night, which would only require the former president to win either Pennsylvania, Michigan or Georgia in order to secure the 270 electoral votes needed to win, Fox News host Bill Hemmer pointed out. Rove said Trump can afford to lose some of the key battleground states and still come out “over the top” in such a close race.

Heading into Election Day, we hear constantly that the presidential candidates are mortal threats to American democracy. Anxieties about Donald Trump’s role in the Jan. 6, 2021, rampage at the U.S. Capitol and his declaration that he would act as “dictator for a day” are countered by Elon Musk’s warning that if Harris wins, “this will be the last election,” or alarms that Harris’ designs on overhauling the Supreme Court will lead to an end to the rule the law.
The very idea that our republic’s future hangs on the outcome of a single presidential contest, however, reveals the deeper, unacknowledged, underlying danger: a Congress incapable of performing its constitutional duties as our country’s lawmaking body and the guarantor of our representative democracy.
