Red Lobster is betting customers will line up again for the all-you-can-eat shrimp deal that helped rack up millions in losses and push the chain into Chapter 11, only this time, the company says it has fixed what went wrong. The seafood chain relaunched its Endless Shrimp promotion on August 17 at participating locations nationwide, barely two years after the deal's financial fallout contributed to dozens of restaurant closures and a bankruptcy filing. The limited-time offer lets diners mix and match five shrimp preparations for one price, eat as much as you want, any way you want it, a pitch that sounds almost identical to the one that nearly sank the company. Red Lobster insists this time is different. The company told Fox News…Open

Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is looking to leave the Pentagon around the end of 2026 after a months-long power struggle with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a departure that could cut short an ambitious modernization push.

A routine construction project at a pasta plant near Naples turned into one of Italy's most remarkable recent archaeological finds, a sprawling ancient burial ground filled with Egyptian, Greek, and Etruscan treasures. Workers breaking ground on an expansion at the Pasta Garofalo factory in Gragnano, a small town near Naples long famous for its pasta-making tradition, did not expect to hit stone burial chambers. But between 2025 and 2026, archaeologists excavating the site ahead of construction uncovered a necropolis dating to the first half of the sixth century B.C., roughly 2,600 years old, predating the rise of the Roman Empire by centuries. The company announced the findings in July. Rows of tombs held human remains, pottery, and a…Open

President Trump imposed 50% tariffs on roughly $20 billion in Canadian imports after Prime Minister Mark Carney suspended trade negotiations and recalled his team to Ottawa, and now both sides are blaming the other for the collapse.

Canada answered with a promise of dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs on American goods, set to hit September 8, the Tuesday after Labor Day. By Sunday, Trump had broken his silence. In his first public comments since the talks fell apart, the president posted on Truth Social : "Canada wants the…Open
