Rep. Wesley Hunt: Our Service Members Know We Have A Commander-in-chief Who Respects & Understands The Military
Texas Republican Congressman Wesley Hunt joins Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla to explain why GOP-backed policies are popular with voters right now in part because they are not driven by identity politics. 'As an American and as a rational human being, and I think I talked about to give my one of my favorite stories this year I was going to the White House when President Trump was signing the bill that did not allow biological men to compete against biological women. And in that in ceremony he goes, I can't believe I'm signing this but I guess all common sense is not so common So not just as a conservative, but as a human being with simple common sense That's what I represent. And I represent 77 million people that voted for President Trump, and those people came from all walks of life. There are Black people, White people, Hispanic people, Asian people, you name it. And so the fact that our party isn't playing identity politics slaps the left right in the face and they can't handle it. And I love being the harbinger of that message.' Fox News Podcasts Presents: Great Americans With Wesley Hunt Rep. Hunt and Jimmy also talk about why the U.S. Army surpassed its fiscal year 2025 recruiting goals four months ahead of schedule.

The 1% Club wipes out 20 players on tricky numbers question – could you beat the clock and get it right?
THE 1% Club eliminated a whopping 20 players thanks to a tricky numbers question - but could you have got it right? Contestants are regularly left stumped on the ITV quiz - which tests logic and common sense rather than general knowledge. 4 4 4 A previous episode saw 20 people knocked out on a tricky 45% question. Lee Mack was on top form as the game edged towards its later stages. He asked the remaining players: "How many left hands are there in this photo?" The audience were then shown pairs of hands arranged together in a circle. They tried to work out the right answer in 30 seconds, with Lee quipping: "Tell you what, throw single Malteaser in there, you'd cause a riot." Once time was up, it was revealed 20 people gave the wrong answer and were therefore out. The correct answer turned out to be eight - and Lee pointed out an additional hand which had stumped him in rehearsals. In a different episode, 15 contestants were eliminated on an difficult letters-based question. For this 70% puzzle, Lee asked: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. "Is a sentence that uses every letter in the alphabet but which letter appears the most?" The 1% Club eliminates 15 players on difficult letters question - but are you smarter and can answer in under 30 seconds? Contestants had the choice between either A, E, I or O. Another instalment saw 25 players flummoxed and eliminated on an "easy" picture question. Contestants were then shown side-by-side photos of a clock and a pair of flies. This outcome shocked even Lee, as he remarked: "I was not expecting that". The 1% Club's Most Difficult Questions The 1% Club sees 100 contestants try and make it to the 1% question and be in with a chance to win a share of the jackpot. Here are just some of the show's most difficult teasers. Players had to compare and contrast three images of butterflies then explain which of the butterflies were exactly the same on both sides.

Pentagon chief irks Singaporeans with Lee-Trump comparison
Pete Hegseth said like the late Lee Kuan Yew, the US president's approach is grounded in common sense and national interests. (AFP pic) SINGAPORE : US secretary of defence Pete Hegseth rankled Singaporeans on Saturday by likening President Donald Trump to the city-state's late founding premier Lee Kuan Yew. In a major speech outlining US strategy in the Asia-Pacific region, Hegseth referred to both leaders as 'historic men'. 'Like the late prime minister, President Trump's approach is grounded in common sense and national interests,' he said at the Shangri-La Dialogue which gathers key defence leaders from around the world. Lee, a British-trained lawyer, served as Singapore's prime minister for three decades. Hegseth praised his 'sage leadership and strategic vision'. 'That's what common sense policies can achieve, and that's precisely what President Trump's vision is all about.' Lee, who turned Singapore into a high-tech industrial and financial centre, remains highly revered in Singapore more than a decade after his death. Social media erupted with loud and acerbic criticism of Hegseth's comparison. 'One is historic, the other is hysteric,' said one commenter, while another remarked: 'Trump compared to Lee Kuan Yew? That's like saying instant noodles are the same as fine dining.' 'I felt a tremor just now. Must be LKY rolling hard in his grave,' said someone else on social media, using Lee's initials.

Trump and Lee Kuan Yew similar in ‘common sense' approach: Hegseth
US President Donald Trump's instinct to 'challenge old ways of doing things' that no longer work and his emphasis on 'common sense' bore striking similarities to how Singapore's founding leader Lee Kuan Yew steered the city state from vulnerability to global relevance, American defence secretary Pete Hegseth has said. Advertisement In a wide-ranging address on Washington's Indo-Pacific approach at the Shangri-La Dialogue on Saturday, Hegseth drew parallels between the 'historic men', describing both as having a 'willingness to work with others, while respecting mutual self-interest'. 'Standing here in Singapore , I think this approach lines quite well with the pragmatic style of Singapore's legendary prime minister, Lee Kuan Yew,' he said. 'Across three decades, he built this country into one of the world's most important hubs of finance and innovation. Like the late prime minister, President Trump 's approach is grounded in common sense and national interests.' Washington, he added, rejected any 'paradigm that makes conflict inevitable'.

Ruben Amorim faces mission impossible with the weak personalities in this Manchester United squad: GRAEME SOUNESS
Ruben Amorim 's record at Manchester United is indefensible but, bizarre as it may sound, I still think the club should stick with him. I like him, he talks with a lot of common sense. He comes across as an honourable guy, honest and I believe he knows what he's doing.
