Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivers combative address, renews calls for the 'warrior ethos' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
SALT LAKE CITY — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's "State of the Force" address Wednesday appeared focused on two purposes: to announce several new initiatives, including a "future of warfare" effort co-led by Elon Musk — while also lambasting frequent targets such as "wokeness" in the ranks and the media. Speaking to an audience of junior officers and enlisted leaders at Virginia's Marine Corps Base Quantico, Hegseth also highlighted changes to the military structures, including an ongoing 20% r
A national education survey ranks Utah dead last — and that's a good thing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
SALT LAKE CITY — For political candidates and college football teams, it's good to be sitting atop the national poll. But sometimes, being ranked dead last is the coveted spot. A recent national survey placed Utah at the bottom — No. 51 out of 51 — in its "States with the Most Student Debt in 2026" poll.

Read excerpt
SALT LAKE CITY — Fifteenth-century Italian military leader Gian Giacomo Trivulzio is credited with saying, "To carry out war, three things are necessary: money, money and yet more money." Centuries later, Trivulzio's words still hold true. The U.S. military's ongoing conflict with Iran, which will soon reach its seventh month, is exacting a heavy cost in both cash and weaponry, according to an analysis released this week by the Congressional Budget Office. In a letter to the House Committee on t
Pentagon: Male, female troops must pass identical fitness tests to serve in 'combat arms' jobs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
SALT LAKE CITY — Combat's physical demands are no respecter of gender — so the fitness standards for troops in front-line positions must be the same for males and females. That's the long-held opinion of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — and one now codified by the Pentagon. A recent Defense Department policy formally establishes "sex-neutral" physical fitness standards for troops across the Armed Forces assigned to military occupations classified as "combat arms." That includes jobs such as an A
