I am a U.S. Navy veteran who served during the now-almost-forgotten Vietnam War. Today, I proudly join other veterans and patriots in celebrating the founding of the Navy 251 years ago. Here is the history of the Navy: The founding of the Navy came out of immediate military necessity during the early months of the American Revolutionary War, evolving from small local efforts into a national naval force. Initial Need for a Sea Force (Early 1775) In the summer of 1775, the Continental Army under General George Washington was besieging British troops trapped inside Boston. Washington faced two major problems: His army suffered from a severe lack of gunpowder and military supplies. The Royal Navy had unrestricted control of the Atlantic coast, easily supplying British forces in Boston while raiding American coastal towns. To intercept British supply ships, Washington commissioned a small fleet of armed schooners on his own authority in September 1775, starting with the vessel USS Hannah. The Congressional Resolution (October 13, 1775) Recognizing that a coordinated national naval capability was necessary, delegates in the Second Continental Congress met in Philadelphia. On October 13, 1775, Congress passed a resolution authorizing the purchase and fitting out of two armed

Since the start of the year, Elon Musk — reportedly the world’s first trillionaire — has donated some $366 million to groups supporting Republican candidates in the upcoming midterms. About $276 million of that has come since July 1, as campaigns heated up. This generosity toward the GOP makes Musk the largest donor so far this year to any cause, party, or individual. The sum also tops the $290 million he donated for the 2024 election. Some $158 million has gone to the Senate Leadership Fund, which supports Senate candidates. Another $76 million has gone to America PAC, a political action committee Musk founded in 2024. His group’s goal is turning out hard-to-get Republican voters. “If Democrats take control of Washington and win key gubernatorial and attorney general races this November, then America risks becoming a socialist, woke and borderless country,” according to a America PAC statement. Other donations by Musk include: $20 million to the Congressional Leadership Fund, the main super PAC for House Republicans $10 million to Lone Star Liberty PAC, a group supporting Ken Paxton, the Republican nominee for Senate in Texas $10 million to the Republican Governors Association $2 million to the Republican Attorneys General Association

In an October 2026 interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos outlined a vision for how artificial intelligence could fundamentally transform the modern labor landscape. Rather than framing AI primarily as a threat that triggers mass unemployment, Bezos focused on how exponential productivity gains could give workers unprecedented flexibility over their schedules and household finances. Core Themes of Bezos’ AI Prediction 1. The 3-Day Workweek & Single-Income Households Bezos argued that AI tools will amplify human output so significantly that individuals will no longer need to work traditional 40-hour weeks or hold multiple jobs to meet living expenses. Reduced Hours: As automated systems take over repetitive and complex tasks, workers could earn enough to sustain their standard of living in just three days a week. Return of Single-Income Homes: Bezos noted that households currently requiring two full-time working adults might choose to transition back to a single income. Dual incomes would remain an option for lifestyle preference rather than strict economic necessity. “Some people will decide, ‘I can support my family working three days a week.’ That’s what productivity in the economy means.” — Jeff Bezos 2. Emerging Labor Shortages Countering widespread fears that AI will create
