Driver dies trying to crash through naval base gate in Florida

A Florida driver died Thursday morning after attempting to crash through the Birmingham Gate at Naval Air Station Jacksonville following a hit-and-run incident.

The driver fled the scene of a nearby car crash around 6 a.m. and drove nearly 3 miles before he turned into the southernmost entrance to NAS Jacksonville off U.S. 17. Gate sentries deployed a protective barrier that stopped the driver’s car from entering the base.

Sailor, 21, accused of destroying USS Bonhomme Richard in $1.2bn blaze was angry about getting deck duty after failing to become a Navy SEAL, lied about girlfriend becoming pregnant by another man and was overheard admitting the crime

The sailor accused of setting fire to the $1.2bn US Bonhomme Richard that burned for almost five days was angry about being assigned to deck duty when he failed to become a Navy Seal, prosecutors say.

Ryan Sawyer Mays, 21, started the blaze on July 12, 2020, when the ship was docked.

Of the 115 sailors on board, nearly 60 were treated for heat exhaustion, smoke inhalation and minor injuries.

Failure to extinguish or contain the fire meant that temperatures climbed to 1,200 F in some areas, which melted sections of the ship into molten metal that flowed into other parts of the ship.

According to prosecutors, Mays was an arrogant sailor angry about being assigned to deck duty after failing to become a Navy SEAL — and he made the Navy pay in a big way.

Air Force Academy promotes fellowship that bans ‘cisgender' men: ‘This program isn’t for you’

"If you are a cisgender woman, a transgender woman, non-binary, agender, bigender, two-spirit, demigender, genderfluid, genderqueer, or another form of gender minority, this program is for you," the application states. "If you are a cisgender man, this program isn’t for you... but we encourage you to check out our spinoff programs, the Patti Grace Smith Fellowship and the Matthew Isakowitz Fellowship Program."

Fox News Digital obtained the email from a concerned cadet who requested anonymity in order to avoid retaliatory measures/professional repercussions. The cadet alleged that the USAFA is hyper-focused on diversity and inclusion (D&I) instead of the military threats the country faces.

US Navy Engineer and his Wife who Plotted to Sell Nuclear Submarine Secrets to Brazil both face LIFE in prison after entering new guilty pleas

A US Navy nuclear engineer and his wife face life behind bars after entering new guilty pleas in a case involving an alleged plot to sell secrets about nuclear-powered warships to Brazil.

Jonathan and Diana Toebbe of Annapolis, Maryland, pleaded guilty on Tuesday in federal court in Martinsburg, West Virginia, to one felony count each of conspiracy to communicate restricted data.

The couple were first arrested in October 2021, after trying to sell submarine secrets to Brazil, a plan reportedly motivated in part by Diana Toebbe's outrage over Donald Trump's election as US president.

REVEALED: Johns Hopkins Doctor Told Her Trans Army Officer Wife to stop being a 'coward' and to 'work through' her 'ethical issues' to hand over medical information on senior military officers to Russians, indictment shows

The wife of the US Army's first trans officer told her to stop being a 'coward' and to overlook 'ethical issues' when the couple tried to hand over medical records of senior military officers and their families to the Russian government.

Major Jamie Lee Henry, 39, and Johns Hopkins Dr. Anna Gabrielian, 36, were accused of using their secret security clearance at North Carolina's Fort Bragg to steal the records from the base's hospital, according to the Department of Justice.

Fort Bragg is among one of the most populated military installations in the world, housing about 52,000 active duty soldiers. The base is home to the US Army's Delta Force and Special Operations Forces.

The couple, from Rockville, Maryland, had communicated and met with an undercover FBI agent who they believed was from the Russian embassy in order to deliver files that the Kremlin 'could exploit.'

According to the indictment, which was unsealed on Thursday, Gabrielian said she was motivated by her patriotism to Russia, with Henry using her clearance as a staff internist to help secure the files.

'My point of view is until the United States actually declares war against Russia, I'm able to help as much as I want,' Henry allegedly told the undercover agent when they met to set up the deal in August. 'At that point, I'll have some ethical issues I'll have to work through.'

'You'll work through those ethical issues,' Gabrielian allegedly replied, adding that Henry was a 'coward' over fears of breaking HIPPA.

Dr. Anna Gabrielian, an anesthesiologist at Johns Hopkins, said her actions were fueled by her patriotism to Russia as she sought to hand over files the Kremlin 'could exploit'

According to the indictment, Gabrielian an instructor of anesthesiology and critical care medicine at Hopkins, told the undercover agent on August 17 that 'she was motivated by patriotism toward Russia to provide any assistance she could to Russia, even if it meant being fired or going to jail.'

Biden Admin Buys U.S. Navy Luxury Bidet Equipped With ‘Effective Enema Function’

Bio Bidet's BB-1000 has 'the absolute strongest spray pressure of any electronic bidet seat on the market.'

president-biden-speaks-at-us-naval-academy-graduation-in-annapolis-736x491.jpg


The U.S. Navy under President Joe Biden spent hundreds of dollars on a luxury bidet complete with a remote control and a massaging feature, according to documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon through a public records request.

A December 2021 government requisition order obtained by the Free Beacon shows the Navy spent $553 on Bio Bidet's BB-1000 bidet seat attachment for a toilet on the USNS Yuma, a high-speed military transport ship.

The $553 bidet, which retailer Bidet King described as having a "rabid cult following" because it has "the absolute strongest spray pressure of any electronic bidet seat on the market," boasts a slew of features such as an "effective enema function" to go with its high price tag. A brochure for the bidet says the BB-1000 comes with a heated seat, a blow dryer, a remote control, a deodorizer, and several spray functions, including "pulsating massage" and "turbo wash," which is described as a "whirly mass of soft water spray to stimulate bowel movement."

As money wasted by the Pentagon goes, this doesn't really move the needle for wasteful spending.

However, I'm pretty sure there is a "only gay while underway" joke about why the Navy needs a pooper cleaning just waiting to be used...
