The MSC “force generation reset” identified two Lewis and Clark replenishment ships, one fleet oiler, a dozen Spearhead-class Expeditionary Fast Transports (EPF) and two forward-deployed Navy expeditionary sea bases that would enter an “extended maintenance” period and have their crews retasked to other ships in the fleet, three people familiar with the plan told USNI News Thursday.

Based on the crew requirements on the platforms, sideling all the ships could reduce the civilian mariner demand for MSC by as many as 700 billets.

A defense official confirmed the basic outline of the plan to USNI News on Thursday. Two sources identified the forward-deployed sea bases as USS Lewis Puller (ESB-3), based in Bahrain in U.S. Central Command, and USS Herschel “Woody” Williams (ESB-4), based in Naval Support Activity Souda Bay, Greece, and operated in U.S. European and Africa Command.

A Navy official, when contacted by USNI News, acknowledged the service was working on a plan to retask civilian mariners but did not provide details.

The new effort, known informally as “the great reset” has yet to be adopted by the Navy and is awaiting approval from Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti, USNI News understands.

The Military Sealift Command operates a fleet of logistics ships that refuel and resupply the Navy’s ships around the world and are crewed by 5,500 civilians who are employed by the Navy. […]

However, just three days into the new school year, principal Robert Nunes found himself at the center of a social media storm as parents accused him of being inappropriate at the event.

Parent Ryan Attebery, who has a son and two daughters at the school, shared footage from the rally on Facebook which has since gone viral.

“Am I a square or was this weird af for a principal to do?” Attebery wrote in the caption.

The accompanying video saw the school’s mascot Thor take off the principal’s hat and throw it away – before twerking in front of him as students cheered.

Nunes leaned back in the office chair, exposing his bare stomach with his half-buttoned shirt. […]

Glenn recently covered how the Biden Administration has been targeting Catholics and other conservative Christians, and who could forget how the draconian lockdowns especially hurt churches? Now churches are facing a different threat: radical LGBTQ+ activists who view the church as the antithesis of everything they believe.

Activists have launched a multitude of attacks that have taken on several forms: some through deceit and manipulation, others through outright violence and destruction.

While these activists often face minimal—if any—repercussions, the Biden administration’s double standard is clear as it continues to go after American citizens who don’t conform to their political ideology. […]

In a post to the dark web this week, the criminal organization alleged that it had been in talks with the bank in order to secure a ransom in exchange for keeping the data private.

“33 terabytes of juicy banking information containing Americans’ banking secrets,” the group wrote. “You better hire another negotiator within 48 hours, and fire this clinical idiot who values Americans’ bank secrecy at $50,000.” […]

The Islamic Republic of Iran finances the Mideast terrorist movements Hamas and Hezbollah, who have declared war on Israel and who are also responsible for committing numerous terrorist attacks against American civilians and military service personnel.

Fox News Digital contacted experts for a tale-of-the-tape analysis on Hamas, which is situated in the southern Gaza Strip, and Hezbollah, which is the de facto ruler of the Lebanese state on Israel’s northern border. Israel has fought two wars against Hezbollah, in 1982 and in 2006.

“Hezbollah is the crown jewel in the Iranian empire of terror and evil and is by far the most powerful Iranian proxy equipped with nation state capabilities and even with more […]

The comments from Buttigieg came during an appearance on CNN where he was addressing a secret recording of the justice’s wife speaking to left-wing activist Lauren Windsor at a dinner. Martha-Ann Alito told Windsor, who took the recording, that she wanted to fly a “Sacred Heart of Jesus flag” in response to a pride flag.

“I also hope that most Americans can understand the difference between a flag that symbolizes love and acceptance and signals to people who have sometimes feared for their safety that they’re going to be okay and insurrectionist symbology,” Buttigieg said.

The transportation secretary added that trusting in the Supreme Court […]

The research, conducted in May by the firm Always On Energy Research, concluded that the Environmental Protection Agency’s recently finalized regulations are not technologically feasible and will foreseeably lead to the retirement of coal power generation units.

Intermittent and weather-dependent green energy sources, such as wind and solar, will replace such retired generators, leading to unreliable conditions, the study found.

The study largely echoes concerns that have been voiced by the U.S. grid watchdog, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation; regional grid operators; and power utility companies.Four regional grid operators that oversee the infrastructure supplying power for 154 million Americans warned after the EPA regulations were first proposed last year that grid reliability […]

The multi-million dollar corporation has closed nine stores so far this year, which could be a warning sign for other retail giants.

Walmart, which operates 5,000 stores in the US, is also reportedly laying off hundreds of corporate employees as the company urges remote workers to come into work.

Retail analyst Neil Saunders told Yahoo that Walmart’s closures in 2016, captured by retail photographer Nicholas Eckhart, were the beginning of a pattern in store cuts.“The blunt truth is that while stores remain a vital part of the retail mix, they are not quite as relevant as they used to be,” the expert told the outlet.“Walmart’s decision is part of a larger shift that will be played out across all parts of the retail sector over the coming year and beyond.”Saunders’ prediction […]
