The U.S. Southern Command said it conducted a "lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations" at the direction of the leader of the Southern Command, Gen. Francis L. Donovan of the Marine Corps. "Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations," the Southern Command claimed in a press release. US MILITARY KILLS TWO SUSPECTED NARCO-TERRORISTS IN STRIKE ON DRUG-TRAFFICKING VESSEL IN THE PACIFIC Three men on the vessel were killed, but no U.S. forces died in the attack on the ship, according to the Southern Command. This was the 55th strike since the U.S. began targeting boats in the Caribbean and the Eastern Pacific in early September. The latest strike brings the death toll in the Trump administration's attacks on ships carrying people it accuses of drug smuggling to at least 186. US CONDUCTS STRIKE ON ANOTHER BOAT CARRYING SUSPECTED NARCO-TRAFFICKERS, KILLING 6 PEOPLE The Pentagon has refused to release the identities of those killed in the strikes since last fall or provide evidence of drugs on board. Last month, Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth argued, "Going on offense with Operation Southern Spear has restored deterrence against the narco-terrorist cartels that profited from poisoning Americans." The administration has been scrutinized in recent months over the strikes by Democrats and even some Republicans, including Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who has raised concerns about killing people without due process and the possibility of killing innocent people. "I look at my colleagues who say they’re pro-life, and they value God's inspiration in life, but they don't give a s‑‑- about these people in the boats," Paul said in January. "Are they terrible people in the boats? I don't know. They're probably poor people in Venezuela and Colombia." The senator previously cited Coast Guard statistics that show a significant percentage of boats boarded on suspicion of drug trafficking are innocent.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69eed15b059ccda1fcc2d844 Diego Pavia accepts Ravens rookie minicamp invite after making unfortunate NFL Draft history: reports te 2026-04-27T03:00:43.631Z Diego Pavia accepts Ravens rookie minicamp invite after making unfortunate NFL Draft history: reports Diego Pavia, the polarizing former Vanderbilt quarterback who was runner-up in Heisman voting last season, has reportedly found a home in the NFL after going undrafted this weekend. Pavia accepted an invitation to the Baltimore Ravens’ rookie minicamp on a tryout basis, per multiple reports. He doesn’t have a spot on the roster yet, but it’s a start as he looks to crack into the NFL with Baltimore. Of course, Lamar Jackson, the two-time MVP quarterback, is cemented as the team’s starting quarterback, but perhaps Pavia can stand out enough in rookie minicamp to earn an invitation to training camp this summer. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Pavia was not expecting to be undrafted this weekend, but he became the first Heisman Trophy finalist since 2014 to not hear his name called through the seven rounds in Pittsburgh. Pavia won the SEC Offensive Player of the Year and the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm award for best upperclassman quarterback after throwing for 3,539 passing yards and 29 touchdowns, both of which single-season school records, to give the Commodores its first-ever 10-win season. Vanderbilt just missed out on the College Football Playoff after finishing 10-3. POLARIZING COLLEGE FOOTBALL STAR, HEISMAN TROPHY FINALIST GOES UNDRAFTED Pavia ultimately finished second in Heisman voting to Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza – the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft by the Las Vegas Raiders. So, what ultimately led to Pavia not getting drafted? While his personality may have factored in, Pavia’s official height at the NFL Scouting Combine turned some heads. Vanderbilt had him listed at 6-foot, but he was measured at 5-foot-9 7/8, which would make him the shortest quarterback in the NFL if he were to step foot on the gridiron today. The average height is 6-foot-2 for an NFL quarterback. However, those shorter than the average have seen success, including Minnesota Vikings newest member, Kyler Murray, who went first overall to the Arizona Cardinals in 2019 coming out of Oklahoma. He’s listed at 5-foot-10. Pavia barked back at critics during the Senior Bowl in January regarding his height. "Yeah, my size has been doubted my whole life," he said at the time, via AL.com. "I feel like the only thing the NFL cares about is can you win, and I view myself as a winner. I’ve been fortunate with all these great teams that I’ve had — we’ve never had a losing season. So that’s something to look forward to, I hope, for the rest of my career, that’s how it’s going to be. "I feel like God has blessed me in so many ways to be a connector, and I feel like that’s one of my superpowers that I’ve got — I can connect. We unite, and then once you unite, you want to play for one another, and once you give 120% effort, there’s no one that can stop your team." Pavia’s personality, viewed by some as more cocky than confident, may have played a factor as well. After finishing runner-up to Mendoza in Heisman voting, Pavia was spotted at a New York City nightclub next to a sign that read, "F--- Indiana." Then, he posted on social media a photo with friends and a caption that read, "F--- ALL THE VOTERS, BUT…FAMILY FOR LIFE." Pavia later apologized for his decision to post that on his socials. No matter the case, Pavia has a shot now with the Ravens and new head coach Jesse Minter, as he aims to show enough to join the quarterbacks group in training camp. Other than Jackson, the Ravens have Tyler "Snoop" Huntley on the roster to start the season.     Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Keyonna Waddell, 35, of Deer Park on Long Island, was found guilty by a jury on Friday of first-degree assault and first-degree criminal possession of a weapon in connection with the March 2024 incident. Waddell had threatened the victim with dynamite several times in the months leading up to the incident, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office. WOMAN CHARGED IN MAN'S FATAL STABBING OUTSIDE UPSCALE LONG ISLAND YACHT CLUB "Domestic violence can escalate to deadly levels, and this case is a sobering reminder of that reality," Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney said in a statement. On March 22, 2024, Waddell and her boyfriend were involved in an argument inside his apartment, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office. After the dispute, the man left the apartment and told Waddell to leave. When he arrived back home, Waddell did not appear to be there, and he went to sleep. He was later woken up by a hissing sound and noticed a flame on the floor of his bedroom. He then realized that a stick of dynamite had been thrown into his bedroom and attempted to toss the explosive device out of the window, but it detonated and blew off most of his hand before he was able to throw it out of harm's way. The victim then ran out of his home to the driveway, at which point he saw Waddell running away. He was subsequently rushed to the hospital, where the remainder of his hand and part of his arm were amputated. MAN CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER AFTER ALLEGEDLY SHOOTING VICTIM IN FACE WITH CROSSBOW: POLICE Waddell was arrested the following day, officials said. Her sentencing is scheduled for May 27, and she could face up to 25 years in prison. "Thanks to the outstanding work of our prosecutors and the Suffolk County Police Department, a dangerous individual has been held accountable and will face a lengthy prison sentence for this horrific act," Tierney said in his statement.

On Saturday, President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, first lady Melania Trump and other top officials were evacuated from the Washington Hilton after shots were fired near the ballroom after a gunman exchanged fire with Secret Service agents in the lobby before being subdued and taken into custody. When shots were fired, hundreds of attendees ducked under tables or took cover inside the ballroom before being evacuated, and the event was subsequently postponed. On Sunday, Heaton, 68, wrote on X that although she disagreed with past Democratic presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Joe Biden, she believes critics of political leaders should reject extreme language and violence. BUTLER ONE YEAR LATER: REVISITING THE HISTORIC ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT AGAINST DONALD TRUMP "I wasn’t happy when Clinton, Obama or Biden won, but I didn’t call them fascist/dangerous/threat to democracy. I didn’t hope someone would assassinate them. I went on with my life with gratitude. Friends on the left, please try this. Your life and our country will be better," the "Everybody Loves Raymond" star said. On Sunday, senior federal law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News that the suspect told law enforcement he intended to target Trump administration officials. Authorities have identified the suspect as 31-year-old Cole Allen, of Torrance, Calif., adding that he prepared a manifesto outlining his intent and shared anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric on social media. WHY BLAMING ‘THE LEFT’ IS EASIER THAN DETERRING VIOLENCE AFTER CHARLIE KIRK’S MURDER As the WHCA was underway, Allen allegedly rushed a Secret Service checkpoint at the Washington Hilton while armed with multiple weapons and opened fire, striking a Secret Service officer in his ballistic vest. Agents returned fire and tackled Allen to the ground. The suspect and the injured officer were transported to a hospital. The Secret Service agent is expected to make a full recovery and was released from the hospital Sunday. The incident adds to a growing list of threats against President Donald Trump, including two confirmed assassination attempts and a recent incident involving an armed intruder at Mar-a-Lago. BONGINO QUESTIONS SECURITY PERIMETER AT WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER: 'COMPRESSED TOO FAR' The White House said Sunday that Allen’s brother contacted the New London Police Department in Connecticut prior to the shooting, reporting that Allen had sent family members an alleged manifesto outlining his intent to target administration officials. Officials also said Allen’s social media included anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric. Allen’s sister, Avriana Allen, told investigators in Rockville, Maryland, that her brother had made increasingly radical statements and often spoke about doing "something" to address issues in the world. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER Heaton has previously spoken out against inflammatory political discourse. Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk in September 2025, Heaton called out what she saw as the moral hypocrisy of people who were celebrating or mocking Kirk's death online, "The most violent rhetoric is always from people who have phrases like 'choose kindness' in their bios," she tweeted at the time. LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS Following the 2024 presidential election, Heaton slammed political pundits for "fear-mongering" and denigrating voters during the election cycle by telling them Trump posed a threat to their way of life. "To all these extremists that are allowed television time, who told women that this is what is going to happen to them, shame on you! Shame on you!" she said in a video posted to X in November 2024.  "Apparently, there are some really vulnerable people here who you targeted, and you fear-mongered to and you need to go back on the air and tell them things are going to be okay, tell them that they’re fine." "Also, stop saying people who voted differently from you are ‘uneducated’," she continued. "Learn your f-ing lesson about smearing people who vote differently from you, who have different needs from you, who have legitimate complaints. Quit dismissing them as uneducated. When are you going to learn?"

Trump sat down for an interview after authorities identified the suspect as 31-year-old Cole Allen, of Torrance, Calif., adding that he prepared a manifesto outlining his intent and shared anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric on social media. O'Donnell read alleged portions of the document that alluded to concerns over a rapist and a pedophile and asked for Trump's reaction. TRUMP ADMITS HE 'WASN'T MAKING IT THAT EASY' FOR SECRET SERVICE DURING WHCD SHOOTING "Well, I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would because you're horrible people," Trump answered. "Horrible people. Yeah, he did write that. I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody." "Do you think he was referring to you?" O'Donnell asked. "I'm not a pedophile. You read that crap from some sick person? I got associated with all...stuff that has nothing to do with me. I was totally exonerated. Your friends on the other side of the plate are the ones that were involved with, let's say, Epstein or other things. But I said to myself, 'You know, I'll do this interview and they'll probably...' I read the manifesto. You know, he's a sick person. But you should be ashamed of yourself reading that because I'm not any of those things," Trump said. O'Donnell interrupted to argue that she was quoting the alleged gunman's words, but Trump continued to call her "disgraceful." TRUMP PRAISES PRESS AFTER WHCD SHOOTING, SAYS UNITY AT DINNER WAS 'BEAUTIFUL' "You shouldn't be reading that on '60 Minutes.' You're a disgrace. But go ahead. Let's finish the interview," Trump said. During the interview, Trump was also noncommittal about whether he believes the shooting will change his relationship with mainstream media. "Look, for whatever reason, we disagree on a lot of subjects. We talk about crime. I'm very strong on crime. It seems like the press isn't. It's not so much the press. It's the press plus the Democrats because they're almost one and the same. It's the craziest thing," Trump said. Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment. TRUMP PRAISED FOR 'STRENGTH' IN MOMENTS AFTER SHOTS RANG OUT AS EYEWITNESS DESCRIBES 'TERRIBLE' SCENE Trump last appeared on "60 Minutes" in Nov. 2025. During an extended version of the interview, Trump taunted "60 Minutes" after CBS News and its parent company Paramount paid the president a $16 million settlement. Trump previously sued the news organization for allegedly editing an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris. "And actually '60 Minutes' paid me a lot of money. And you don’t have to put this on because I don’t want to embarrass you, and I’m sure you’re not," he said, before pointing to Bari Weiss, the new editor-in-chief of CBS News, taking over. "I think you have a great new leader, frankly, because the young woman that’s leading your whole enterprise is a great, from what I know, I don’t know her, but I hear she’s a great person." "But ‘60 Minutes’ was forced to pay me a lot of money because they took [Harris'] answer out that was so bad," he continued. That interview was his first time appearing on the show since Oct. 2020 during his first presidential term.

Obama’s statement on X focused first on the lack of confirmed details about what drove the attack before condemning violence more broadly and praising the Secret Service.  "Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy," Obama wrote on X. "It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. "I’m grateful to them – and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay," he added. BONGINO QUESTIONS SECURITY PERIMETER AT WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER: 'COMPRESSED TOO FAR' Fox News Digital has reached out to Obama’s team for clarification on his comments. Authorities have identified the suspect as 31-year-old Cole Allen of California, who allegedly opened fire at the Washington Hilton during the annual event attended by Trump and senior administration officials. Federal law enforcement officials confirmed to Fox News Digital that after Allen’s arrest, he said he intended to target Trump administration officials and had prepared a manifesto detailing his intent, while also sharing anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric on social media. 'ABSOLUTE BARE MINIMUM': CALLS FOR MORE ACTION AFTER SECRET SERVICE AGENTS SUSPENDED FOR SECURITY FAILURE The writings identified administration officials as potential targets and expressed grievances tied to the Trump administration, with investigators examining those statements as part of what may have driven the attack. Law enforcement officials have not formally confirmed a definitive motive as the investigation remains ongoing. During an interview with "60 Minutes" host Norah O’Donnell that aired Sunday evening, Trump took issue after she read a portion of the alleged manifesto. ILHAN OMAR BLAMES TRUMP’S RHETORIC FOR SURGE IN DEATH THREATS, INCLUDING SPRAY ATTACK: 'SO OBSESSED WITH ME' O’Donnell referenced passages in which the suspect appeared to outline a motive, writing that administration officials were "targets" and making inflammatory accusations against Trump before asking for the president’s reaction. "I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would…you’re horrible people," Trump told O’Donnell. "You read that crap from some sick person? I got associated with all stuff that has nothing to do with me," he continued, adding he was exonerated. Trump then took direct aim at the host. "I’m not any of those things," he said. "You should be ashamed of yourself reading that. You shouldn’t be reading that on ‘60 Minutes.’ You’re a disgrace, but, go ahead, let’s finish the interview." Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69eeb550059ccda1fcc2d527 MIKE DAVIS: Secure the White House and build the ballroom before someone gets killed te 2026-04-27T01:01:04.317Z MIKE DAVIS: Secure the White House and build the ballroom before someone gets killed We all watched in horror as President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, many Cabinet secretaries, dozens of members of Congress and others scrambled for their safety at the Washington Hilton Hotel for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, an annual D.C. tradition. Deranged leftist Cole Tomas Allen, a 31-year-old California man who donated to Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign, tried to barge in armed with multiple guns and the alleged purpose of assassinating Trump administration officials. Allen came quite close to accomplishing his alleged mission, and we must never allow another Allen to strike. Such events should occur at a secure White House ballroom, not a hotel that is open to guests and the public. Allen appeared to have had a simple plan. He checked into the Hilton and allegedly brought along a shotgun, handguns and knives. He went to his room and waited. Then, he took an elevator down to the floor where the dinner was underway. Authorities say he charged at a Secret Service checkpoint near the ballroom where 3,000 people were jammed in like sardines. The checkpoint was the location of magnetometers designed to screen for guns and other weapons. Allen allegedly began firing, apparently intending to shoot his way through the checkpoint so that he could enter the ballroom and cause mass casualties. The courageous Secret Service agents stopped him, and one heroic agent was shot in his vest. That agent will recover and deserves the eternal gratitude of the American people for his sacrifice. It is a miracle that other injuries did not occur. Aside from the gunfire, people could have been injured in the rush to flee the room. Law enforcement whisked dignitaries away when the shots began, and many people ducked under tables. With 3,000 people, however, it is easy to imagine how many could have run for safety, trampling each other in the process. Continuing these events at hotels is untenable, and Trump-deranged individuals must grasp this simple point before fatalities occur. President Trump plainly understands the point. That is why he has begun construction on a ballroom at the White House, the most secure building in the world. Many events have occurred in White House tents, making attendees susceptible to sniper fire like that which occurred in Butler, Pennsylvania, during a Trump rally in July 2024. The proposed ballroom would have an underground bunker and bulletproof glass to add to the elaborate security measures that already are in place at the White House. There would be no risk of another murderous hotel guest’s barreling toward a checkpoint and shooting at Secret Service agents. If Allen had begun his alleged rampage earlier, he could have committed a mass murder by shooting attendees as they waited to go through the magnetometer. None of this lunacy would have occurred at a ballroom in the White House. DAVID MARCUS: TO BURNISH TRUMP'S LEGACY, WE NEED TO STOP NAMING THINGS AFTER HIM Alison Hoagland is a member of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and a Trump-deranged individual who thinks that she can dictate White House construction procedures. The proposed ballroom is privately funded. Construction crews have already torn down the area where the ballroom will sit. Hoagland, however, has decided to attempt to stop the construction in court. She claims that she occasionally walks by the White House and that viewing the area harms her personally and professionally. This lawsuit should have been dismissed, but Judge Richard Leon, one of President George W. Bush’s worst appointees, shockingly let it proceed and issued an injunction against further construction. Article III of the Constitution requires that a plaintiff have standing to bring a lawsuit. A plaintiff must show that she either has been injured or that she will be in a concrete way, that the defendant has caused or will cause the injury, and that a court can redress the injury. Hoagland’s only supposed injury is her displeasure at having to look at a construction site whenever she occasionally walks past the White House. Leon incredibly accepted this farcical claim as sufficient for standing. If Hoagland’s risible assertion suffices, we may as well get rid of standing because anyone can be offended over anything. Courts would be deluged with lawsuits from gadflies who want to whine over any perceived slight, no matter how petty, if Hoagland’s theory becomes the law of the land. The Trump Justice Department appealed Leon’s laughable injunction to the D.C. Circuit. Two leftist judges asked Leon to clarify the scope of it. Judge Neomi Rao, a potential Supreme Court justice, correctly dissented, brilliantly articulating why the case should fail on standing grounds. After Leon’s clarification, the appellate court unanimously put his asinine injunction on hold pending a decision on the merits. The panel will hear oral argument in June, but Hoagland’s silly suit should stop now. To that end, the Justice Department has written to request that the National Trust for Historic Preservation drop the case. If it does not, the government will seek dismissal. Especially after the horrific events of Saturday night, the Trump-deranged leftists should drop the suit. If they do not, Leon should dismiss it. Given how shameless these people are, however, the odds of either event occurring are slim. The D.C. Circuit should rule rapidly after oral argument that Hoagland’s claim falls far short of what is necessary to establish Article III standing. Judge Rao correctly opined that existing law authorizes the construction of the ballroom. Congress should leave no doubt. As Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman—seemingly the only Democrat left in Congress who possesses some common sense and decency—urged, it is time to build the ballroom.  CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION Congress could authorize the construction explicitly in short order. Congress had no trouble acting swiftly to order the release of the Epstein files. Disgracefully, many Trump-deranged congressional Democrats likely will obstruct any effort to authorize the ballroom because they have no regard for the safety of President Trump and anyone in his orbit. In not even two years, Trump has faced three assassination attempts: the Butler event; the attempted assassination at his Palm Beach golf club by Ryan Routh, who is now serving a life sentence thanks to brilliant Judge Aileen Cannon; and the near-massacre on Saturday night. Leftists have tried to imprison, bankrupt, de-bank, de-platform and murder Trump. Insane rhetoric, such as baseless and malicious allegations that Trump is a pedophile anda grave threat to democracy, has caused people to lose their minds. These radicals have caused a culture of assassination; no other president has been targeted in this way. It is time to stop the lunacy, and a good start would be to facilitate the building of the White House ballroom. Given their past disgraceful behavior, however, Democrats likely will continue their dangerous resistance. The task thus falls to constitutionalist judges like Judge Rao to stop this insanity. Failure to do so eventually will lead to fatalities perpetrated by future Democrat assassins in the mold of Allen, Routh, and Matthew Crooks, the Butler shooter. Stop the insanity once and for all. Enough is enough. Build the damn ballroom.

And it’s overwhelmingly due to their own actions and statements. There are books' worth of examples worth of examples. Such as the early part of the pandemic when they flip-flopped on masks, from claiming that they didn’t work to stating that getting 80% of the public to wear them would end the pandemic in a matter of weeks, to their claims that the lab leak was a racist conspiracy theory, and all the way to absurdities such as predicting the Super Bowl in Florida would be a "superspreader event." Or the mass panic when states like Mississippi and Texas ended their mask mandates, or when the mandate on airplanes was lifted…and nothing happened afterward. But certainly nothing may have damaged their trust more than the steadfast assertions that the COVID vaccines were able to stop infection and transmission. And one study and analysis from a heavily credentialed group of experts on the vaccines shows how committed they were to misleading people in order to suit their political and ideological aims. An analysis conducted by extremely experienced academics published at the Commonwealth Fund exemplifies this practice. Claiming that COVID vaccines were miraculous treatments that prevented millions of cases and millions of deaths. But first, it’s important to define what the "Commonwealth Fund is" and how organizations like this serve a very specific purpose. Directly from their website they describe their mission as to "promote a high-performing, equitable health care system that achieves better access, improved quality, and greater efficiency, particularly for society’s most vulnerable, including people of color, people with low income, and those who are uninsured." Equity, of course, means equal outcomes, not equal opportunities. It’s a key tenant of left-wing organizations. And knowing that about this organization, you may already be able to guess what the results of this study will be. Sure enough, their writers are a near-perfect exemplification of the NGO industrial complex. TOP DEMS CLAIM 51K PEOPLE WILL DIE ANNUALLY FROM THE 'BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL' AND ITS OBAMACARE FREEZE Hard to imagine a better group of "experts" than that to work on an NGO funded study on COVID vaccines, right? Well, therein lies the problem. The organization seeks a specific outcome, "COVID vaccines saved millions of lives and millions of cases," and sure enough, they got exactly the one they wanted. And boy oh boy is that outcome a doozy. This crack team of highly experienced academics created a model, of course they did, to estimate the effectiveness of COVID vaccines at preventing infection, hospitalization, and deaths. With some stunning results. LOUISIANA SURGEON GENERAL WANTS TO 'DEPOLITICIZE MEDICINE' BY ENDING STATEWIDE MASS VACCINATIONS "From December 2020 through November 2022," they write, "we estimate that the COVID-19 vaccination program in the U.S. prevented more than 18.5 million additional hospitalizations and 3.2 million additional deaths." That’s impressive enough already, but it gets even better! "Without vaccination, there would have been nearly 120 million more COVID-19 infections," they continue. "The vaccination program also saved the U.S. $1.15 trillion (Credible Interval: $1.10 trillion–$1.19 trillion) (data not shown) in medical costs that would otherwise have been incurred." I'M A PHYSICIAN AND I'M WORRIED THAT OUR HEALTH AGENCIES ARE FACING INCREASING CHAOS It’s seriously worth diving into their claims, but put simply, these numbers are not possible. And they purposefully ignore data and evidence that makes them impossible in order to get the outcome they and the Commonwealth Fund wanted to see. Let’s take their most important claim, that there would have been 3.2 million "additional deaths" from COVID if not for the COVID vaccines. Sure enough, there’s a very easy way to debunk that claim. While the vaccines hit the market in December 2020, uptake was extremely minimal until early in 2021. Which means virtually all COVID-related deaths that occurred in 2020 happened pre-vaccination, with little-to-no natural immunity among the population, and a more virulent original strain that had not yet mutated to become less dangerous. Well, the CDC estimates that there were roughly 350,000 COVID-related deaths in the United States. That started in February-March, so it wasn’t a complete year, but it’s relatively close. There is no possible outcome on earth in which there were 350,000 COVID deaths in 10-11 months before natural immunity and that there would have been an "additional" 3.2 million in just 2021 and January-November 2022. In fact, the World Health Organization reports just over 7 million deaths total - from 2020-2026. Not in the United States, but the entire world. An additional 3.2 million implies a level of severity that COVID simply does not possess. But that’s how models work. The authors told the model to assume COVID would kill a certain percentage of people, they also told the model that the vaccines had a certain percentage of effectiveness, and thus got the outcome they wanted. WATCHDOG TARGETS TAXPAYER-FUNDED NATIONAL ACADEMIES OVER DEI, CLIMATE AND TRANSGENDER SPENDING In 2021, the CDC estimated approximately 460,000 COVID-related deaths in the United States, with roughly 244,000 in 2022. This assessment implies that over 4 million people would have died from COVID in less than two years. That’s 1.22% of the entire U.S. population in 2021-2022. Except we know, from actual data-related research, that the infection fatality rate from COVID was far below that. As that study concluded, "The median IFR was 0.0003% at 0–19 years, 0.002% at 20–29 years, 0.011% at 30–39 years, 0.035% at 40–49 years, 0.123% at 50–59 years, and 0.506% at 60–69 years." It’s simply impossible for 1.22% of the US population to die in two years from COVID because COVID is not deadly enough for that to happen. The other claim, that 120 million cases were avoided is, again, impossible. Why? Because COVID infects everyone, regardless of vaccination status. Which is why places like South Korea confirmed nearly 70% of their population got COVID, the vast majority in 2021-2022, despite 90+% vaccination rates. Or another study from Denmark which found that nearly 70% of the population got COVID in a matter of months from 2021-2022, despite 90+% vaccination rates. The hospitalization estimates are equally absurd, implying that one in 18 additional Americans would have required hospitalization for COVID from December 2020–November 2022. The actual number was roughly 4.6 million, meaning that their total estimate of hospitalizations would have been 23.1 million hospitalizations or nearly 7% of the US population. 1 in 14. That’s obviously insane. This is the problem with academics, experts, and NGOs. They all wanted a headline. They wanted an outcome. They made sure they got it. These experts placed inputs into their model that were simply not supported by any reasonable data or evidence, because they wanted the model to show that the COVID vaccines saved an enormous number of lives, hospitalizations, deaths, as well as money. That’s what they got. And they discredited themselves in the process. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Oh, and speaking of money, the entire outlay of the U.S. government in 2021 was $6.82 trillion and $6.27 billion in 2022. They thought that the vaccines saved $1.15 trillion in healthcare spending alone in that timeframe. This has to be one of the worst models ever created. Of course it came from highly credentialed health experts and a powerful NGO. Of course it did.

The route from Iraq’s Grand Faw Port to Turkey and on to Europe, is advancing "with discipline," Middle East Council on Global Affairs analyst Muhanad Seloom told Fox News Digital, calling it a "permanent" and "transformative" wartime shift. Seloom’s comments came as President Donald Trump warned Tehran against further escalation in the Gulf and signaled the U.S. is prepared to act to keep the strait open. Iranian forces have laid mines and threatened commercial traffic in the narrow waterway. As of Sunday, the shipping route remains effectively closed. IRAN IS 'TRYING TO GIVE THE GLOBAL ECONOMY A HEART ATTACK' BY CLOSING STRAIT OF HORMUZ, UAE MINISTER SAYS "Iraq’s Development Road means every container moving through Basra instead of Iranian-controlled waters is a reduction in Tehran’s leverage over Iraq," said Seloom. "The real scale, independent estimates put the Development Road closer to $24 billion, and the project is now moving with discipline," he said. Iraq’s Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani inaugurated the first 63-kilometer stretch of the Development Road in 2025. Phase 1 is due for completion by 2028. "What was described by the Iraqi government as a flagship of Iraqi statecraft now has a regional rationale that governments and financiers treat as essential rather than aspirational," Seloom, an assistant professor at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, explained. "Sudani seems to be positioning Iraq exactly where he thinks its geography always suggested, as a connecting state between the Gulf, Turkey and Europe," he said. WATCH SHIPPING THROUGH THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ GRIND TO A HALT AMID IRAN CONFLICT But other regional infrastructure, Seloom says, is also being pushed forward in parallel. Saudi Arabia’s East-West Petroline pipeline is operating near its 7 million-barrel-per-day capacity, with expansion plans under review. The UAE’s ADCOP pipeline to Fujairah is also at maximum use, with a second line under discussion, he said. "Turkey’s Zangezur and Middle Corridors bypass Iran via the Caucasus and are four to five years out." He added: "Six Gulf-backed overland fiber projects are also underway through Syria, Iraq and the Horn of Africa." Iran reimposed closure measures on the Strait of Hormuz on April 18, reducing traffic to just a handful of vessels per day compared with a pre-war average of roughly 130 to 140. The restrictions, including on ships, have come under fire in recent days, and interceptions trace back to the start of the war on Feb. 28, when Tehran first moved to block transit following U.S.-Israeli strikes. IRAN WAR, 11 DAYS IN: US CONTROLS SKIES, OIL SURGES AND THE REGION BRACES FOR WHAT’S NEXT "Hormuz remains indispensable for energy, but it is no longer treated as a default. That shift is permanent given the war," Seloom said. For Iraq’s corridor, it is "potentially transformative," Seloom said, with $4 billion per year in projected transit revenue and a repositioning from an oil rentier state to a logistics state. "Turkey will be the single largest beneficiary. Combined with the Zangezur and Middle Corridors, Ankara becomes the overland bridge between Asia and Europe," he said. "Europe will have an additional overland option on a 2028-plus timeline, but nothing for the current crisis. It marginally reduces structural dependence on the unreliable Suez–Red Sea axis."

It was just Bauer’s second start in the United States since 2021, and he faced just one batter over the minimum in a scheduled seven-inning game of a doubleheader against the Stormers. Bauer threw 84 pitches, striking out seven hitters and walking just one to lose out on the perfect game. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM But Bauer unleashed a roar on the mound after a called strike three to notch the third no-hitter in Ducks history. Combined with his first outing for the Ducks on April 21, Bauer has a strong 1.64 ERA to start the season in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball (ALPB), which is a "Professional Partner League" of MLB. Fans might have been supporting the opposing Stormers, but they understood what was at stake as Bauer was mowing down hitters throughout his start. They were even heard chanting his name at one point, hoping he could keep his hitless streak alive. After the game, Bauer returned the favor for those at the Pennsylvania ballpark, signing autographs and taking pictures with fans after entering his name into the Ducks’ record books. TREVOR BAUER SIGNS WITH PRO BASEBALL TEAM IN UNITED STATES AMID MLB RETURN HOPES "I’m looking forward to competing in front of U.S. fans again this season," said Bauer when he signed with the Ducks earlier this month. "The Ducks have had some incredible players come through their organization, and I’m excited to be part of that tradition." Ex-MLB stars like Dontrelle Willis, Daniel Murphy, Rich Hill and Eric Gagne have played for the Ducks in the past. New York Mets legends Gary Carter and Bud Harrelson both managed the team, with the latter also being a part-owner. Bauer’s first start for the Ducks impressed an AL team scout in attendance, saying he was pretty impressed by Bauer’s arsenal on the bump. "He showed flashes of the guy he used to be and a guy who can help a club," the scout told the New York Post. "He went out and handled himself well. He showed flashes of the breaking ball he had in the past. Certainly the velocity is not what it once was, but it’s still solid, mostly 92-94. He didn’t throw the ball particularly well on the inside part of the plate with his fastball, but I think it was a really good first outing. You’d expected him to get sharper and probably tick up in velocity. "You’re talking about a guy who was at the top of the game. Is he back there? No, but he looked like a guy who could go out and compete." Bauer pitched in Japan in both 2023 and 2025, while a stint in Mexico came in 2024. He pitched to a 2.59 ERA and 9.2 K/9 in Japan in 2023, and in Mexico, those numbers improved to 2.48 and 13.0. Last year in Japan, though, his ERA shot up to 4.41, and he struck out just 8.2 batters per nine innings. This June will mark five years since Bauer, as the reigning Cy Young Award winner, last appeared in an MLB game. On June 28 of that year, he tossed six innings of two-run ball while striking out eight batters, recording the win. Two days later, Bauer was hit with sexual assault allegations, which eventually led to a 324-game suspension (the equivalent of two seasons). It was eventually reduced to 184 games for violating the league's Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy. Bauer has maintained his innocence, settling with one accuser while another is facing 16 years in prison after being charged with fraud for faking a pregnancy and asking Bauer for money for an abortion. Bauer and Lindsey Hill, who accused the pitcher of beating and sexually abusing her in 2021, settled their case in late 2023. Bauer revealed texts from Hill, who said that Bauer would be her "next victim," among other damning messages. Hill has since said that MLB has more evidence of Bauer's alleged misconduct. Last June, Hill was ordered to pay Bauer more than $300,000 for violating settlement terms. Hill breached their settlement agreement with each other by discussing Bauer on podcasts and in public appearances, the Los Angeles Times reported. Nearly two years ago, Bauer said he "may have no other choice" but to sue Major League Baseball "if I continue being kept out" of the league. Bauer has said he'd "play for the league minimum," but he has yet to sign with an MLB team. "Anyone that’s willing to sit down with me and listen: I’d like to play the second half of my career in a better way than I played the first half," Bauer told Fox News Digital in January 2024. "I’d like to be an example that you can make mistakes, recognize them, adjust and then be better in the future. I think that’s something us as humans have to do and should be doing constantly." Bauer has since called out MLB after Pete Rose and other deceased former players were taken off the league’s permanently ineligible list. "So, since Pete is welcome back now, does that go for everyone who has been blackballed?" Bauer asked on X. "Or do you actually have to be guilty of something to qualify for that?" Bauer was performing well for the Dodgers at the time of the allegations, pitching to a 2.59 ERA. Fox News’ Ryan Morik contributed to this report.

"One thing that I’m disturbed by as we woke up this morning is seeing folks on the internet say that this was a false flag, that we are basically all in cahoots to do, to say that this was staged," MS NOW host Eugene Daniels said on "The Weekend." He continued, "And I think as someone who, for all of us who was in the room, who had to jump on the ground, who had to text our family and friends and tell them that we were okay, calling our moms like so many people in this country have done for decades, to see people say those kinds of things,, it is frustrating, and it’s disturbing, and it shows that the issues that we have to try and fix in this country,"  WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS’ DINNER SHOOTING SUSPECT ID’D, FBI SECURES HIS CALIFORNIA HOME Daniels, the former White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) president, spoke about shots being fired at the annual media event which featured President Donald Trump for the first time in both of his presidential terms. Before the event began, Trump, first lady Melania Trump and several administration officials were ushered out, bringing the dinner to an abrupt halt. As the details of the event came in, some far-left commentators, including Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, floated the idea that the shooting was pre-planned. "[S]hooting at the whcd and all these cultists INSTANTLY start talking about trumps ballroom," Piker wrote on X.

Fox News Digital reached out to the WHCA and White House for comment. Authorities identified the suspect as 31-year-old Cole Allen, of Torrance, Calif., adding that he prepared a manifesto outlining his intent and shared anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric on social media.

The jersey Gretzky wore during Game 4 of the 1988 Stanley Cup Final just sold for a staggering $2,806,000, setting a new all-time record for a hockey jersey.  CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE FROM OUTKICK That same jersey — worn during his final championship run with the Edmonton Oilers — had previously held the record, selling for $1.452 million back in 2022.  Not anymore. This isn’t just any game-worn sweater, either. It was worn during Gretzky’s final Stanley Cup run in 1988. Photo-matching later confirmed he wore it in multiple games, including Games 1 and 4 of the Final. It’s tied to one of the strangest moments in NHL history. Game 4 against the Boston Bruins was famously canceled mid-game due to a power outage at Boston Garden with the score tied 3-3.  Two days later, the teams replayed the game, and the Oilers closed it out with a 6-3 win to complete the sweep and secure Gretzky’s fourth and final Stanley Cup.

Gretzky wore it in a March 1, 1988, game where he recorded his 1,050th career assist, passing Gordie Howe for the NHL record at the time. By the time he retired in 1999, Gretzky had piled up 1,963 assists — still 700+ more than any player in NHL history. Shortly after that 1988 Cup run, Gretzky was traded to the Los Angeles Kings. He went on to play 20 seasons in the NHL before retiring in 1999, when he was immediately inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame with the waiting period waived.  And now, nearly three decades later, he’s still setting records.

In a preview for a "60 Minutes" interview airing Sunday night, Trump described to CBS News correspondent Norah O'Donnell what was going on in his head during the quick process of Secret Service agents flanking him and ushering him and other administration officials out of the event after shots were fired. O'Donnell pointed out that it took 10 seconds for an agent to reach him and another 20 seconds before he was taken out of the building. Trump admitted that some of the hesitation came from his desire to know what was happening. TRUMP PRAISED FOR 'STRENGTH' IN MOMENTS AFTER SHOTS RANG OUT AS EYEWITNESS DESCRIBES 'TERRIBLE' SCENE "Well, what happened is it was a little bit me," Trump said. "I wanted to see what was happening, and I wasn't making it that easy for them. I wanted to see what was going on. And by that time, we started to realize maybe it was a bad problem, different kind of a problem, bad one, and different than what would be normal noise from a ballroom, which you hear all the time. And I was surrounded by great people. And I probably made them act a little bit more slow. They said, 'Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Let me see. Wait a minute.'" Trump said that he and first lady Melania Trump were eventually told to get down and "pretty much" began crawling out of the room. "I was standing up and then turned around the opposite direction and started pretty much walking out pretty tall, a little bent over because I, you know, I'm not looking to be standing too tall but I was walking out, was pretty about halfway there. And they said, 'Please go down to the floor. Please go down to the floor.' So I dropped to the floor. So did the first lady," Trump said.

Kevin Durant is not expected to suit up for the Rockets in Game 4 of the team’s first round series with the Lakers, according to ESPN. Durant is sitting out his second straight game after suffering a sprained left ankle. He was also diagnosed with a bone bruise in his ankle, further testing revealed. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM This injury is usually a two-to-three-week recovery timeline, ESPN added after speaking with sources. Houston has tried "around-the-clock treatment" for Durant just to get him on the court, but doctors haven’t cleared him to play. Durant’s injury occurred during the second half of the Game 2 loss Tuesday to the Lakers, 101-94. Durant was slow to get off the court, and swelling occurred in the following days, forcing him to miss Game 3. After discovering the bone bruise, the Rockets understood why Durant had further swelling and stiffness in the ankle compared to a regular sprain, per ESPN. Still, Durant is helping his teammates in the film room, as they reviewed their play against the Lakers ahead of a win-or-go-home scenario on Sunday night. Durant was also at the Rockets’ facility get his treatment done. While Durant had been healthy throughout his first year with the Rockets, this postseason has been a disaster thus far. He missed Game 1 due to a right knee contusion suffered in practice. It was described as a "tender" bruise in an "awkward spot" above his knee, which severely limited his ability to move. The Lakers went on to win Game 1, 107-98, but Durant was able to suit up for Game 2. However, after pouring in seven of his 12 jumpers and eight of his nine free throws for 23 points in 41 minutes, his injury came late in the second half, and he hasn’t seen the court since. Meanwhile, LeBron James, playing without his key teammates Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves thus far in this series, has been leading the way for Los Angeles to a stunning 3-0 start in this series. The Lakers are hoping they won’t have to return to Los Angeles for a Game 5 in this series, which would allow everyone, including those injured on their bench, to get right for the next series if they can get the job done on Sunday night. Houston will once again look to players like Jabari Smith Jr. and Alperen Şengün to keep the season alive.

Authorities have identified the suspect in the shooting as 31-year-old Cole Allen, of Torrance, Calif., adding that he prepared a manifesto outlining his intent and shared anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric on social media. As the WHCA was underway, Allen allegedly rushed a Secret Service checkpoint at the Washington Hilton while armed with multiple weapons and opened fire, striking a Secret Service officer in his ballistic vest.

A big part of what allows for this unique discourse is that Maher is an unconventional Democrat. He's something of a dinosaur, with a political view that seems stuck in the tar pits of 1990s Bill Clintonism. He is in some ways the avatar of the Democratic Party that was. Maher remains pro-Israel, regularly rolls his eyes at the excesses of wokism and the trans movement, has a friendly respect for President Donald Trump, with whom he has dined, and in general is a poster child of "I didn’t leave the party, the party left me." He's even friends with Kid Rock! This has led many conservatives to suggest that Maher is a better fit in the Republican Party than the Democratic Party. Jump in, the water is fine, they say. GREG GUTFELD: CONSTANT DEMONIZATION BACKFIRED AND MADE TRUMP APPEAR APPEALINGLY DANGEROUS But this misses an essential point. Maher is not a Republican, he is a Democrat. Conservatives should be rooting for him to influence his party in positive ways, not to abandon it. Maher always makes me think of my cousin Jimmy, who has been a big fan for decades. Jimmy is in many ways the quintessential Pennsylvania Democrat. He is successful, has a beautiful Catholic family, and like me, grew up believing in the Teamsters and the pope. I asked Jimmy what he liked so much about Maher and he told me, "I like Bill Maher a lot because he calls a spade a spade, based on facts and science and not ideological craziness. He calls out the crazy for what it is. I like that he does it regardless of who he’s talking about, left or right." BILL MAHER GRILLS GAVIN NEWSOM OVER CALIFORNIA'S REGULATIONS, TELLS HIM 'DOGE THE S---' OUT OF BUREAUCRACY This is maybe a bit more of a glowing review than I would give to Maher, but it's not far off the mark. More importantly, based on conversations I have with Democrats around the country, more of them think like Maher, than think like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez D-NY, or commie podcaster Hasan Piker. In this way, Maher is something like a focus group of one. And it’s not just Maher clinging to the principles of the old Party of Jefferson and Jackson. Sen. John Fetterman D-Pa., also insists on being an old-school Democrat rather than changing sides and joining the GOP. BILL MAHER HAS A BLUNT MESSAGE FOR DEMOCRATS IN WAKE OF ELECTION DISASTER: ‘LOSERS LOOK IN THE MIRROR’ But honestly, for all the attacks against Fetterman from the left of his party, there is no major policy issue that the senator supports that was not a mainstream Democratic position as recently as 2020. The plain truth here is that Maher, my cousin Jimmy and Fetterman are never going to be Republicans. It's like asking Magic Johnson to play for the Celtics. But they may be the voices that bring their party, and our nation, back from the edge. On Saturday night, at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, a third attempt was made on the life of President Trump. It almost feels normal at this point, but it is not normal, and while everyone for the next 12 hours will discuss taking down the temperature, Maher really does it. MAHER URGES AMERICANS TO 'NOT LET POLITICS F--- UP THE HOLIDAYS': SHOULDN'T 'CUT PEOPLE OFF' FOR TRUMP WIN Because of the power of the presidency under our Constitution, we will always have two parties, one that controls the White House, and another composed of everyone else. It behooves all of us for both to be measured, responsible and nonviolent. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION Maher does our nation inestimably more good as the reasonable, old-timey, joint-smoking Democrat than he does as a turncoat nouveau Trumper, and as beacon of sanity in a party flinging itself wildly to the left, he helps everyone. So let’s stop trying to turn Maher into a Republican. We don’t need to chant "One of us!" because he is not one of us. He is a Democrat, and there is nothing wrong with that. Perhaps the greatest testament to the importance of Maher is his remarkable staying power. In a media ecosystem in which political shows and anchors rise and fall like so many ships in a storm, he has been a Rock of Gibraltar. Just as for decades "The McLaughlin Group" was the space for the right and left to respectfully cross rhetorical swords, today it is "Real Time" that fills this vital role, and for better or worse, it only really works, quite specifically, because Bill Maher is, and always will be, a Democrat.

The congressman cast blame on Democrats for "refusing to fund some of the most important law enforcement officers in our country," like the Secret Service, TSA and Coast Guard, on "The Sunday Briefing." "This is a big, big deal that these Democrats are literally playing with the safety of Americans — by the way, Republican, Democrat and other, it doesn't matter what your political perspective is. It's about Americans' safety," he said. TRUMP PRAISED FOR 'STRENGTH' IN MOMENTS AFTER SHOTS RANG OUT AS EYEWITNESS DESCRIBES 'TERRIBLE' SCENE "The fact that [Secret Service] performed so flawlessly last night while under the stress of wondering whether they're going to continue to get paid and all the rest of it is even more impressive," he added. The shooting comes amid a more than two-month DHS funding stalemate in Congress. Democrats are seeking changes to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) operations and won't vote for a budget without guarantees thereof, while Republicans are turning to alternative funding methods to continue enforcement as is. Emmer blamed Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., for putting a stop to the most recent funding bill that he said was supported by Republicans and Democrats in both chambers of Congress by "[pulling] out two pieces of the bill and [making] that a political issue." UNEARTHED VIDEO REVEALS COLE ALLEN AS QUIET INVENTOR YEARS BEFORE ALLEGED BID TO ASSASSINATE TRUMP He added that it was the "wrong time to be playing with American safety from the minority." Emmer himself was seen leaving the ballroom with assistance amid the chaos that followed the gunfire. To put to rest rumors that he may have been injured in the incident, he clarified that, because his leg is in a cast, he had been using a mobility scooter at the event. "But you couldn't keep it on the floor because there were 3,000 people there and it was so tight. So they had to take the scooter elsewhere. And obviously, when this thing broke, they told us we had to get out. So I had a couple human crutches that were helping me escape out the side door to get to the scooter, which ultimately I rode out." The suspect in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting told law enforcement after his arrest Saturday night that he intended to target Trump administration officials, senior federal law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News. Authorities identified the suspect as 31-year-old Cole Allen, of Torrance, Calif., adding that he prepared a manifesto outlining his intent and shared anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric on social media.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ee8d89059ccda1fcc2ceee Dodgers fire back at Cubs manager Craig Counsell over criticism of 'bizarre' Shohei Ohtani rule te 2026-04-26T22:11:21.533Z Dodgers fire back at Cubs manager Craig Counsell over criticism of 'bizarre' Shohei Ohtani rule One of the more unexpected storylines in the early portion of the 2026 Major League Baseball season has been the complaints from opposing managers about Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani.  Ohtani, you might remember, started his career with the Los Angeles Angels in 2018. While with the Angels, he was a two-way player who both pitched and hit. The league, attempting to ensure that the additional value of a two-way player, particularly the most marketable and talented two-way player, would be properly recognized, enacted a rule ensuring that any two-way player would be able to stay in the game as a designated hitter after exiting as a pitcher.  Essentially, treating that player as two separate entities. To use Ohtani as an example, Ohtani the hitter, and Ohtani the pitcher. That rule was put in place in 2019 to create a template for him or any other two-way players that emerge.  Then, in 2022, when MLB moved to 26 players, and enacted roster restrictions, 13 pitchers and 13 hitters, in order to maintain the importance of starting pitching, they set up another rule that meant designated two-way players who met certain criteria would not count against the maximum number of pitchers allowed on a roster. This, again, was enacted when Ohtani was with the Angels.  For some reason, Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell decided to criticize these years-old rules in April 2026. And in a new interview, one of the Dodgers’ top executives addressed Counsell’s comments and didn’t seem too pleased with them. In a new interview with AM 570, the Dodgers’ home radio station in LA, the team’s president of Baseball Operations was asked about Counsell’s comments by broadcaster David Vassegh. Specifically, why he thought Counsell brought it up now, years into this process. And in response, he brought up that the rule was discussed with input from the teams themselves, making the criticism even more bizarre. "I don’t know," Friedman said. "It felt very random and strange to me that he felt the need to bring it up. And when Shohei was on the Angels and MLB was considering this, they reached out to a bunch of teams, us included. And I said, ‘look, from a competitive standpoint as the Dodgers, I don’t love it, but wearing my industry hat and what’s best for Major League Baseball, it’s to do everything we can for Shohei Ohtani to be in and stay in games.’" "So that’s the part of him being able to stay in the game when he pitches. When he comes off the mound, the old rule would have been, then the hitter has to come out as well. But I was able to look at what is best for the industry and Shohei playing, and playing more often and staying in games is what is best for this game and best for the fans and everything else." ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! If the teams were contacted about this rule, and the league implemented it after considering their feedback, why the complaining now? That’s unclear, but one of the big problems seems to be a complete misunderstanding of what the rule actually is and the advantage the Dodgers have. Jim Bowden, for example, a former general manager himself and current baseball commentator, apparently got it completely wrong. "So that was when he was with the Angels, and as far as the 13 pitcher rule, again, it is more that we have 13 pitchers…I had to clarify this with Jim Bowden, who said that we have nine relievers…We don’t have nine relievers, we have eight relievers just like everyone else, we have five starters, like everyone else," Friedman explained. "It’s just when Shohei is able and the rest makes sense, Shohei pitches also. It is not that we are carrying an extra reliever relative to others. "So it’s certainly an advantage but it should be an advantage. What Shohei does and what he is capable of is so unique, it should be rewarded, it should be celebrated. And everyone knew the Shohei rules and had an equal opportunity to sign him two years ago. So I’m not sure where the Cubs were in that process, or what Counsell’s thoughts were on it then, but that seems like more of the relevant time to voice it than now." This is what made Counsell’s comments, and the ensuing fan outrage, so odd. Ohtani’s unique value is that he can hit and pitch, at a high level. That advantage would exist regardless of roster limits or restrictions. They don’t get to carry an "extra" reliever because of Ohtani. They get a benefit when he makes his once-a-week scheduled start. And again, this advantage would exist regardless, because no other team has a starter who can have a 50/50 season and put up a 0.38 ERA in the first month of the year. Which is why he got $700 million and fully deserved it. The Cubs have plenty of money; they could have signed him and taken advantage of that rule. Or find a two-way player of their own to develop. They didn’t, and now they’re mad about it, years after the rule was enacted and benefited the Angels. Weird.

Iran International reported April 24 that Saeed Jalili, 60 — who already leads what has been described as a "shadow government" — is expected to succeed Ghalibaf following his sudden departure amid internal disputes. Jalili also heads Iran’s ultra-hardline faction known as the Stability Front (Paydari), which is known to be a "bastion of ultraconservatism in Iran," according to reports. Ali Safavi, an official with the Iranian opposition coalition, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), told Fox News Digital that Jalili "has evolved from a nuclear negotiator to an influential actor within the regime." TRUMP'S LATEST HIRES AND FIRES RANKLE IRAN HAWKS AS NEW PRESIDENT SUGGESTS NUCLEAR DEAL Ghalibaf was reportedly forced to step down after attempting to bring the nuclear issue into talks with Washington, a move that triggered backlash within Iran’s political establishment. President Donald Trump had called off plans for U.S. envoys to travel to Pakistan for peace talks with Iran on April 25. The rivalry between Jalili and Ghalibaf is said to span more than a decade and intensified during the 2024 elections, when Jalili refused to step aside, contributing to the victory of President Masoud Pezeshkian. Safavi said, "The increased visibility of latent divisions stems from recurring nationwide uprisings, deep economic crises and the pressures of war, all of which have intensified internal feuding. "Far from signaling transformation, these developments reflect accelerating erosion and mounting pressure, deepening fractures and leaving the regime ever weaker and more vulnerable," he added. EXILED PRINCE LOOKS TO LEAD IRANIAN PEOPLE IN ENDING ISLAMIC REPUBLIC: 'OUR BERLIN WALL MOMENT' Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is also seeking a continued leading role in negotiations, highlighting competing centers of influence over Iran’s diplomatic strategy, sources said. Araghchi is in Islamabad, Pakistan, after returning from a short trip to Muscat, Oman, where he is holding high-level diplomatic talks on the conflict. Reports indicate Araghchi will travel to Moscow. Jalili’s potential appointment, however, signals a hardening of Iran’s stance, with more emphasis on resistance over compromise. "Within this regime, there are a number of constants espoused by all factions," Safavi said before highlighting that these were "repression, the export of terrorism and the pursuit of nuclear weapons." "The factions all ultimately move along a common path: the preservation of power. They differ in methods, not in objectives," Safavi cautioned. IRANIAN-AMERICANS AND DISSIDENTS RALLIED AGAINST 'MURDEROUS REGIME AGENTS' AS IRAN'S PRESIDENT ADDRESSED UNGA Jalili, meanwhile, served as Iran’s top nuclear negotiator from 2007 to 2013 under President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and later ran for president three times. He also served as secretary of the Supreme National Security Council. A former member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Jalili lost his right leg at 21 during the Iran-Iraq War, earning him the title of "Living Martyr". The Paydari Front, which he is associated with, opposes engagement with the West — particularly the 2015 nuclear deal — and advocates a doctrine of "active resistance." During Hassan Rouhani’s presidency, Jalili also established a "shadow government" to counter the administration’s policies, especially the nuclear deal. On April 7, he wrote on X: "Yes — ‘infrastructure’ is on the verge of collapse; the infrastructure of domination and the American order. And after that, a better foundation will be built." A day earlier, he posted: "‘Shut up’ is not the appropriate response to Trump’s ramblings; let him speak more. Nothing is more effective in laying bare the true nature of the United States than Trump’s outbursts." "In dealing with this regime," Safavi said, "we must bear in mind that in the 45 years since the mullahs consolidated their rule in 1981 by crushing all peaceful political life, so-called reformists have governed for nearly half that time — presiding over some of its darkest crimes." "These include the 1988 massacre of 30,000 political prisoners, the assassination of dissidents abroad, the chain murders of intellectuals inside Iran and the relentless pursuit of nuclear weapons."

So when Diego Pavia’s name never got called this weekend, Coach Prime made sure the former Vanderbilt quarterback heard from someone who’s been there. Or rather, someone who’s son has been there. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON OUTKICK "I BELIEVE IN YOU MY MAN!" Sanders wrote on X. "Stay strong and don’t let up. Show them what time it is and never allow them to forget. Much Love & God bless you." It’s a pretty strong vote of confidence — and one Pavia probably needed after the last few days. Just months ago, the Vanderbilt standout was one of the best players in college football. Pavia threw for 3,539 yards and 29 touchdowns during a breakout 2025 season that earned him a trip to New York as a Heisman Trophy finalist. And yet, when the 2026 NFL Draft came and went, Pavia never heard his name called. That’s not something you see often. The last Heisman finalist to go undrafted was Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch in 2014. And you’re looking at only a handful over the last three decades. To be fair, there were concerns. Pavia measured in at just 5-foot-10, and at 24 years old, he’s already older than many incoming rookies. Teams have also reportedly questioned his temperament — something that became part of his flashy on-field persona over the past couple of seasons. DEION SANDERS WALKS BACK COMMENTS ON SON SHEDEUR SANDERS' LANDING SPOT IN NFL DRAFT Still, the production was there. The accolades were there. And usually, that’s enough to at least hear your name on Day 3. Sanders, of course, understands how unpredictable the draft process can be. His son, Shedeur Sanders, was widely projected as a first-round pick before sliding all the way to the fifth round in the 2025 NFL Draft. That fall turned into one of the biggest talking points of that draft cycle, and it clearly stuck with Deion. So when Pavia found himself in a similar — albeit more extreme — situation, Coach Prime stepped in to improve morale. Now, the path forward is uncertain for Pavia. Whether that means catching on as an undrafted free agent, earning a camp invite or taking a less conventional route to the league, he’s got work to do. But at the very least, he’s got one very high-profile believer in his corner.

Not when she could be spending it at the Stagecoach music festival. The 30-year-old didn’t face that battle head on to attend the country music festival quietly either. Nobody would. That's why when she was presented with an opportunity to dress up as a cowgirl and post it on social media, she took it, and you can't blame her. As Brittany has explained before, life as an NFL WAG who turned that into an appearance on a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover isn't as easy as it sounds. There's a lot that goes into being the wife of Patrick Mahomes. "I think being the significant other to an NFL player is an incredibly hard role, and we take on a lot of important stuff behind the scenes that people don’t get to see," Brittany told Sports Illustrated in February. "We also get to enjoy life and do things that we love, too." ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Sure, a $450 million-plus extension helps. The trips to the Super Bowl are nice, but so is being able to dive into some fashion for a music festival during the offseason and letting everyone know what winning that mom butt battle looks like. This is a veteran move from Brittany Mahomes. The move of someone who is entering a decade in the league. It goes by fast and she's seen it all. Take the wins where you can get them. Taking advantage of these moments by letting the haters know you haven’t lost a step is all part of the game. So is dragging Patrick out to the festival while he continues his recovery from a torn ACL and LCL in his left knee. The Chiefs quarterback wants to be ready to go by Week 1 of the upcoming season. That's the goal, and hanging out at a country music festival in cowboy boots can only help.

Bongino framed the incident as both a case study in the limits of event security and a reason for renewed concern about threats against President Donald Trump. He explained on "Fox & Friends Weekend" on Sunday that presidential protection works through increasingly tight layers of vetting and control. He said security teams will now have to assess whether the outer perimeter at the dinner venue was too close to the innermost protected area. TRUMP PRAISES PRESS AFTER WHCD SHOOTING, SAYS UNITY AT DINNER WAS 'BEAUTIFUL' "In an event like this with an open hotel doing business, where it's resource-constrained, and it's very difficult to shut down the whole hotel, was the security perimeter compressed too far inside?" Bongino asked. "They're going to have to go over that and see in the future how much farther they want to push [the perimeter] out." Bongino added that, even with strong protection, agents are inherently reacting to threats rather than acting first, which he argued leaves Trump in a dangerous position, as evidenced by what is being called the alleged third public assassination attempt against the president. TRUMP RUSHED FROM SAME HOTEL WHERE REAGAN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT UNFOLDED IN 1981 "This has to be the luckiest man on Earth. I mean, you can have the greatest Secret Service in the world, guys, but the hard reality is they're always reacting. And reacting is always slower than acting." The White House Correspondents' Dinner began at the Washington Hilton on Saturday night before it was interrupted by gunfire. Cole Allen, a 31-year-old computer scientist from Torrance, California, has been identified by authorities as the suspected shooter. He was apprehended and has been charged with multiple felonies. The incident led to the evacuation of Trump and several Cabinet members present at the event, and the dinner is set to be rescheduled. Fox News Digital's Lindsay Kornick, Peter D'Abrosca and Asra Q.

The future University of Miami golfer traveled to Augusta National Golf Club to take in the first major of the year, but the trip to Georgia hit a speed bump after she had an allergic reaction to a hand soap she used on her face.

She posed for a photo she shared on Instagram with Bryson DeChambeau, a supporter of her grandfather and fellow YouTuber, and his caddie, Greg Bodine. It wasn’t the best week for DeChambeau, though, as he missed the cut at Augusta National after shooting 6-over in his first two days of the tournament. In the end, Rory McIlroy, who finally completed the career Grand Slam last year at the Masters, retained the green jacket with a second-straight win. He finished one shot ahead of Scottie Scheffler, who finished 11-under for the week after going 4-under in his final round on Sunday. Russell Henley, Cam Young, Tyrell Hatton and Justin Rose, who lost to McIlroy in a playoff at last year’s Masters, all finished tied for third place at 10-under.

Depending on who you ask, it's either his greatest superpower or the biggest knock against him. Most would have to agree that his latest social media endeavor was a swing and a miss. Kiffin, who shares more motivational quotes and messages on X than your chronically online, middle-aged aunt, opted to tag the official football accounts of Ole Miss and Tennessee on Saturday with his latest.

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! On the surface, the 50-year-old multimillionaire head coach of LSU getting petty online on a random Saturday in late April is an odd move. When you add in the fact that Kiffin walked away from head coaching jobs at Tennessee in 2010 and Ole Miss just a handful of months ago, the behavior goes from odd to legitimately unhinged. Kiffin left Ole Miss days before the program's first-ever College Football Playoff appearance, which immediately took him from being a man who many believed deserved a statue in Oxford to leaping Tommy Tuberville as the most hated man in the history of the Rebels' football program. While Kiffin got what he wanted out of the post on X, which was hours of endless engagement, he still took some serious and relatively justified heat from folks online. Kiffin is entering his first season as the head coach of the Tigers, but expectations in Baton Rouge are already tremendously high for his year-one LSU squad in large part due to the success he had at Ole Miss, one of the Tigers' most bitter rivals in the SEC. LSU will travel to Ole Miss on Sept. 19 and to Tennessee on Nov. 21 this upcoming season. To say both programs, but even more so both fan bases, want revenge against their former coach would be quite the understatement.

While it may not necessarily be about Cora’s firing in general, shortstop Trevor Story reportedly didn’t like the answer the organization gave when addressing the vast change with lots of season left. "Trevor Story said the Red Sox bosses’ explanation this morning was not sufficient and he intends to have more conversations with [general manager] Craig Breslow today," the Boston Globe’s Tim Healey tweeted. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Furthermore, Story said, "It’s up in the air what the true direction of the franchise is. "If this shows us anything, it’s we’re here to play baseball, and that’s it. We don’t make decisions. We don’t have any input on that," Story added. BLUE JAYS MANAGER JOHN SCHNEIDER EJECTED AFTER FACE-TO-FACE, FIERY ARGUMENT WITH UMPIRE IN LOSS TO DODGERS Breslow addressed reporters following the firings, alongside Red Sox president and CEO Sam Kennedy before they continued their series with the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. "By acting today, it gives us 135 games ahead of us, so we’ve got almost a full season’s worth of run to take advantage of this fresh start and ultimately to compete for a division and deep postseason run in the way that we talked about it and envisioned and believed heading into spring training," Breslow said, per ESPN, looking optimistic despite his team sitting 10-17 entering Sunday. The team parted ways with Cora, hitting coach Pete Fatse, third-base coach Kyle Hudson, bench coach Ramón Vázquez, assistant hitting coach Dillon Lawson and major league hitting strategy coach Joe Cronin. Jason Varitek, the World Series-winning catcher with the Red Sox during his playing days, has also been reassigned to an unspecified role within the organization. He will no longer be the game-planning and run-prevention coach. Chad Tracy, who was managing Triple-A Worcester, takes over now as interim manager with the Red Sox. "We believe in the group of players that we have in the clubhouse, down the hallway, and we believe that a new direction is warranted, new voices, and something that enables us to take a fresh start," Breslow added. While trying to keep the view sunny, Story’s outlook is cloudy, at least for the moment, as Boston continues its season down a road they didn’t foresee entering the 2026 campaign. Cora’s firing came after the Red Sox blew out the Orioles, 17-1, on Saturday afternoon — its largest win of the season. In his eight years as the Red Sox’s manager, Cora earned a 620-541 record, while helping the team win a World Series title in his first season in 2018.

"What we have learned and what they’ve learned just overnight is that it appears he traveled from Los Angeles through Chicago to Washington, D.C., and it appears he traveled by train during both legs of that trip," Blanche told Fox News's Shannon Bream on "Fox News Sunday." "The investigation is rapidly developing," he added. Authorities executed multiple search warrants overnight in Los Angeles and Washington, including at a hotel room where the suspect was staying, according to Blanche. Investigators are also reviewing devices and communications recovered during the searches. 'TRAGEDY AVERTED' AT ATLANTA AIRPORT AS POLICE ARREST MAN WITH AR-15 ALLEGEDLY THREATENING TO 'SHOOT IT UP' "Law enforcement executed multiple search warrants last night, not only in Los Angeles but also in Washington, D.C., in the hotel room where the suspect was staying, and they executed search warrants on devices, and they’re going through that information right now," Blanche said. Blanche said investigators are still examining the motive, but early evidence suggests the suspect may have been targeting members of the Trump administration. He cautioned that the case remains in its early stages. "As far as motivation, we are still looking into that," Blanche said. "It appears he was targeting members of the administration, but I say that generally because that’s all we know right now." TRUMP SAYS WOUNDED NATIONAL GUARDSMAN'S MOTHER HAS INSISTED TO HIM THAT HER SON WILL SURVIVE SHOOTING Bream asked whether the use of rail travel instead of flying may indicate an effort to avoid airport security records or TSA search. Blanche said authorities have not yet determined why the suspect chose the route. "Why he did — that we don’t know at this point, but it could be the reasons you just described. It could be other reasons," Blanche said. "We don’t know whether he had the firearms with him." Blanche added that investigators believe the suspect purchased the firearms within the past several years, though authorities are still working to establish how the weapons were transported. WHO IS ANIBAL HERNANDEZ SANTANA, ACCUSED IN ABC STATION SHOOTING AND NOTE SAYING TRUMP OFFICIALS ARE 'NEXT' "It does appear that he purchased those firearms within the past couple of years," Blanche said. "That could be another reason why he traveled by train because he had the firearms with him, but I’m speculating there." Federal prosecutors are expected to pursue initial charges tied to firearm use during a violent crime and assault on a federal officer using a dangerous weapon, with additional charges possible as evidence develops. "We don’t know what charges could come later. It depends on what evidence we develop," Blanche said. "But right now those two charges are the ones that we expect." Blanche also praised the response from security personnel and law enforcement agencies, saying they prevented the suspect from breaching the security perimeter near President Donald Trump. "The reality is he didn’t really get past the perimeter," Blanche said. "That means law enforcement, Secret Service, the Metropolitan Police Department, the FBI did their jobs."

It hosted the exact kind of three-day football festival the league has been chasing for years, and it did it on a massive scale. The 2026 draft footprint stretched across Point State Park and Acrisure Stadium (still Heinz Field in the hearts of civilized people) and by the end of the weekend, the city had hosted one of the biggest football parties in human history. The final attendance number was absurd: 805,000 fans over three days, per the league's entry count. That broke the all-time draft record and moved Pittsburgh past Detroit’s 775,000 from 2024. Pittsburgh also set a Round 1 record with more than 320,000 fans on Thursday night alone. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Before the event, NFL officials and event organizers projected Pittsburgh would welcome 500,000 to 700,000 fans. Instead, it blew past the high end of that range and climbed above Green Bay and Nashville, which each drew about 600,000 in 2025 and 2019, respectively. At this point, the NFL is not even pretending the draft is about the handful of prospects sitting in the green room. Pittsburgh had 16 prospects attend in person, but the real stars were the fans flooding the North Shore and Point State Park. That's not a complaint, either. The league figured out that turning the draft into an outdoor festival is better business, better television and, frankly, better for the cities that get to host it. So now the obvious question is whether any city can actually take this thing to 1 million. Most cities? No. Not even close. The NFL has held the draft in 10 different cities since leaving New York following the 2014 version. Pittsburgh set the record with 805,000 attendees, meaning 1 million would require the most-attended draft to increase attendance by nearly 25%. But 1 million people is not just a big number; it would push the NFL Draft into a new stratosphere with regard to public events. To get there, a city needs a gigantic outdoor footprint, real tourism appeal, public transit, adequate hotel inventory, and a backdrop that makes people want to show up even if their team is picking 24th and taking an offensive lineman. There is one city that feels like it has a chance, and the NFL already has it lined up. The 2027 draft is headed to Washington, D.C., where the event is scheduled to use the National Mall and Pennsylvania Avenue. In the official announcement and White House event around it, Roger Goodell said the league believes attendance will be "well over a million" over three days, and Commanders owner Josh Harris said he believes the event will get over a million people. That's why Pittsburgh’s impressive record might not last more than a year. The National Mall is a different animal from a normal downtown draft footprint. If the weather cooperates and the setup works the way the league believes it can, D.C. has a legitimate shot to become the first seven-figure NFL Draft city. That's an important caveat, though. Weather in the northeast in April is notoriously unpredictable. Rain, and even snow (or just freezing temperatures), are not out of the question and could quickly put a damper on the hopes of a record-breaking performance. FERNANDO MENDOZA, THE NO 1 PICK OF NFL DRAFT TO THE RAIDERS, TASKED WITH RETURNING A LEGACY FRANCHISE TO GLORY Beyond D.C., the list gets very short. Remember that the league wants the NFL Draft in cities that have an NFL franchise and, generally, are unlikely to host a Super Bowl. A city like Los Angeles might be able to do it, based on sheer volume and perfect weather, but LA is a frequent Super Bowl host. Nashville is still the blueprint for pure draft atmosphere and drew more than 600,000 when it hosted in 2019. Philadelphia’s 2017 event pulled 250,000 and helped prove the outdoor model could work in the first place. Green Bay then showed that even the league’s smallest market could hit 600,000-plus if the event is built the right way. Those are enormous numbers. But they also show just how hard 1 million really is. So yes, Pittsburgh broke the record. And yes, a city can probably surpass 1 million. But the answer is not "any city." Right now, it looks like that city is the capital of the United States. Will it happen? Fortunately, fans only have to wait one year to find out.

Made even more inexplicable by his own background. In an interview with Chicago Magazine earlier in 2026, he said, "I love Chicago more and more. It’s just an incredible city. The people are great. They give a s***. They aren’t just baseball fans who go to the game like Dodgers fans to take pictures and whatever. They are paying attention. They care." ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Here’s the thing about that. It is, of course, wrong. The Dodgers have led the league in attendance every single season for the past decade. But PCA wasn’t done there. "What I wish people could see through is, I’m not getting at die-hard Dodger fans," he said. "They obviously exist, they’re out there. I grew up seeing those people, too, but it’s a see-me city, man. It’s a Lakers city where people show up to sit courtside and look good. And I view it the same way here." Here’s the thing about this: PCA is telling on himself. For those who don’t know, he grew up the son of two successful actors. Then attended Harvard-Westlake, an elite private school in Studio City where tuition currently runs nearly $55,000 per year, for seventh grade and up. The reason he thinks LA is a "courtside," "see-me" city is because that’s who he is, and who he knows. He’s a rich kid who only ever knew other rich kids. Well, that rich kid who trashed Dodgers fans had just about the worst imaginable day at Dodger Stadium on Saturday afternoon. And the fans, when they could tear themselves away from taking photos, loved it. While the Cubs took the first game of the three-game series, the second quickly spiraled for Chicago — and PCA was right in the middle of it. He struck out leading off the top of the third inning. Then struck out again leading off the top of the fifth inning. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE The bottom of the fifth inning though, was the play of the game.  Alex Freeland drilled a high, deep fly ball to center field that sent PCA back to the warning track where he…well, made just about one of the worst reads or defensive plays you’ll ever see. Makes you wonder if he was too distracted by all the photos being taken in the stands to pick up the ball. With the Cubs now trailing 8-4, and the game on the line, Crow-Armstrong came up in the top of the sixth with one out and the bases loaded, meaning he represented the tying run. And then he promptly struck out for the third time, swinging over a slider from reliever Jack Dreyer.  He had one more at-bat though, a chance to redeem himself after a tough game. And in the top of the eighth inning, with a runner in scoring position, he struck out swinging on three straight pitches. That's 0-4 with four strikeouts, nine swings and misses, and an awful defensive misplay. It’s hard to do much worse than that.  PCA was given a chance to clarify his comments during the series, and then promptly told the Los Angeles Times that he likes playing in front of his home fans better than road fans. "Each fan base has their own personality," he said. "And I was really just comparing my own two experiences: playing for the Cubs, and people showing up and enjoying it, and there’s just an air about the place; and then here, it is what it is like, maybe if I played here, it’d be different. But I don’t." Gee, what a brilliant observation. He gets treated better by Cubs fans than Dodgers fans because he plays for the Cubs. Has to be the first player to ever notice this, right?  And again, his observations are, to put it mildly, factually inaccurate. Here's a photo from the Wrigley Field bleachers posted to Instagram just a few days ago. Here's another one, posted three days ago during the middle of an inning with players on the field. This isn't to pick on Cubs fans, though of course, Wrigley Field is far more of a tourist attraction for generic baseball fans who aren't interested in the game at hand than Dodger Stadium. It's to highlight that taking photos and looking at smartphones at sporting events has become a part of the modern gameday experience. And acting as though one fan base is worse in this regard than any other is absurd. St. Louis Cardinals fans, for decades, were routinely described as the "best in baseball." Now that the team is in a rebuilding phase, they're in the bottom half of the league in attendance behind franchises with little-praised fan bases like the Arizona Diamondbacks. The San Diego Padres, never praised as an elite fan base, now sell out the vast majority of their games. Fans are fans. They like winning and don't want to pay money to support losing. Though maybe Pete Crow-Armstrong was too concerned about being "seen" with star patterns dyed into his hair to realize it.

While American presidents and British royals are fast friends today, this was not always the case. King George III, of course, was the villain in our story of the American Revolution, and he was still in the picture during the War of 1812, in which British troops burned the White House to the ground. In the middle of the 19th century, Queen Victoria became a heroine to some, but a villainess to others, when she read the anti-slavery novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin" aloud to the royal family. Abolitionists may have liked this, but it was less favorably received in the slaveholding South. Things began to change in the late 19th century due to both technological and diplomatic advancements. The United States and Britain began to recognize common interests, and transatlantic travel and communication became easier. KING CHARLES URGES 'DIGITAL DETOX,' RECONCILIATION IN CHRISTMAS SPEECH AFTER YEAR OF ROYAL DRAMA By 1903, when former President Theodore Roosevelt broadcast the first transatlantic message over the radio, he directed it to Britain's King Edward VII, saying: "In taking advantage of the wonderful triumph of research and ingenuity which has been achieved in perfecting a system of wireless telegraphy, I extend on behalf of the American people most cordial greetings and good wishes to you and all the people of the British Empire." In the 1910s, the U.S. and Britain grew closer as allies against Germany in World War I. In 1939, King George VI made the first visit of a British royal to the White House, visiting former President Franklin D. Roosevelt. KING CHARLES, PRINCE HARRY AT POINT OF 'NO TURNING BACK' AS MONARCH REFUSES RECONCILIATION: EXPERT The U.S. still had a bit of an anti-royal chip on its shoulder, though. Roosevelt famously served hot dogs to the king and queen to show his connection to the common man. Our nations became even closer as a result of our alliance in both World War II and in the subsequent Cold War. Improvements in transatlantic travel meant that visits by presidents to London and royals to Washington became semiregular events. In her 70-year reign from 1952 to 2022, Queen Elizabeth II met 13 of the 14 presidents who held office during that period. This included every sitting U.S. president from Dwight D. Eisenhower to Joe Biden, with the sole exception of Lyndon B. Johnson. ‘GLADIATOR II’ STAR DENZEL WASHINGTON HAS AWKWARD ENCOUNTER WITH KING CHARLES Although the queen’s role was now largely ceremonial, sometimes there was a diplomatic component to her visits as well. When she visited Eisenhower in 1957, she helped smooth over tensions that had emerged between Britain and the U.S. as a result of the Suez Crisis. Sometimes there was a larger, more public element to her visits. In 1976, Queen Elizabeth spoke at the White House while visiting former President Gerald Ford during U.S. bicentennial celebrations, perhaps demonstrating that Britain had finally gotten over things from 1776. In recent decades, nearly every president has had some interaction with the royal family: Prince Charles' wife, Lady Diana, famously danced with actor John Travolta at a White House event during the Reagan administration in 1985. KING CHARLES HAUNTED BY PRINCE ANDREW AS 'GRUBBY' DUKE HUMILIATES MONARCHY IN 'YEAR FROM HELL': EXPERTS Queen Elizabeth also granted former President Ronald Reagan an honorary knighthood in 1989, after he left office. Former President George H.W. Bush had the queen on his legendary 30,000-person Christmas card list. In December 2000, with the presidential election to determine his successor still in doubt, former President Bill Clinton had tea with Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace. When I served in the George W. Bush White House, I remember Karl Rove telling a very funny story from his stay at Buckingham Palace with Bush and forgetting a pair of socks. At an early morning White House senior staff meeting, Rove did an uproarious imitation of a palace attendant presenting a new pair of socks to the "Right Honourable Mr. Rove" on a silver tray. Sometimes there have been diplomatic snafus: former President Barack Obama got some pushback for gifting the queen an iPod in 2009. It turns out that she already had one. Biden got better grades for giving her a sterling silver box from Tiffany & Co. with personalized engravings. And now, as King Charles embarks on his first visit to the U.S. in President Donald Trump's second term, the U.S. and Britain are in the midst of a disagreement over the war with Iran. Charles is not a political ruler, but perhaps his visit, like his mother's in 1957, can smooth over tensions and help maintain the special relationship America has long had with the United Kingdom.

"This reminds me a bit of what it was like at the height of the [post-9/11] 'age of terrorism', or 'age of counterterrorism...'" Mauro told "Fox & Friends Weekend." "As it began to metastasize [beyond Afghanistan]... it began to permeate the internet, and that's the great common denominator here, is the rise of the internet, and the rise of social media specifically, has allowed this ideology to disseminate into corners where previously it would not have found so much support," he added. Mauro's remarks came after authorities said 31-year-old suspect Cole Thomas Allen allegedly rushed a Secret Service checkpoint at the White House Correspondents' Dinner armed with multiple weapons. JOURNALIST SALENA ZITO REVEALS WHAT TRUMP SUPPORTERS MEANT WHEN THEY TURNED ON THE CAMERAS AT THE BUTLER Allen then allegedly opened fire on a Secret Service officer, who was taken to the hospital after he was shot in his ballistic vest. Agents reportedly fired back at Allen, who was not struck. He was also taken to the hospital. Senior federal law enforcement sources with knowledge of the investigation told Fox News that Allen told law enforcement after his arrest that he was targeting Trump administration officials. SECRET SERVICE IN LINE OF FIRE AT WHCA SHOOTING STILL UNPAID DUE TO DEM-LED SHUTDOWN Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche did not specify which officials were Allen's intended targets during a Sunday NBC News appearance. Lawmakers and authorities have since condemned the suspect's actions and have called for rhetoric to be toned down to prevent similar incidents. "Almost any [person] these days can find some place, some niche on the internet that will support your position," Mauro said. "And I think once the search warrants are completed and the computers and phones are scrubbed, etc., we are almost certainly going to see that the accused here, Cole Allen, was probably imbibing that kind of ideology online, and he decided to act on it because people were telling him it's the right thing to do." Similar warnings followed the 2024 assassination attempts against President Donald Trump and the Sept. 2025 assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk on a Utah college campus. Trump and all other administration officials present at Saturday's dinner were safely ushered out of the venue.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ee5c3d059ccda1fcc2c873 Valerie Bertinelli says she missed narcissistic red flags in relationships: 'Made me question my self-worth' te 2026-04-26T18:41:01.891Z Valerie Bertinelli says she missed narcissistic red flags in relationships: 'Made me question my self-worth' Making it clear she’s in no rush to get back onto the dating scene, Valerie Bertinelli explained this week that she now actively looks for narcissism "red flags" when meeting men. In her "Getting Naked" podcast on Wednesday titled "Know Your Narcissist," Bertinelli revealed that she didn’t even realize she was dealing with narcissism in her own romantic relationships until several years ago after first recognizing it in the fraught political climate. "I don’t want to throw anybody that’s been in my life under a bus, I just want to talk about experiences that have been challenging and made me question my self-worth," the "One Day at a Time" star told her guest Dr. Ramani Durvasula, a psychologist and author. "When we know who we are, Valerie, when someone is coming at us like the way that narcissistic people do, we can be a lot more steadfast," the doctor advised. "The only way a narcissistic relationship works is if we abandon ourselves." VALERIE BERTINELLI SAYS SHE'S 'REALLY SCARED' OF DATING, ISSUES WARNING ON 'VULNERABILITY' Bertinelli agreed with her assessment, admitting that in the narcissistic relationships she’d been involved in, "I totally abandoned myself to a point where my family was like ‘Where are you? We need you? Come back to us.’" She said while she was in the relationships, she didn’t feel that way. "You feel truly like you’re just going to make this person happy," the 66-year-old explained. "You know you can do it. ‘I know I can make them happy. I know if I work hard enough, I can make them happy. I know that I don’t want to be selfish. I don’t want to hurt them, so if they’re telling me that I’m doing these things. I can make myself better.’" 'GROWING PAINS' STAR TRACEY GOLD SAYS TV MOM JOANNA KERNS HELPED SAVE HER LIFE DURING ANOREXIA BATTLE When Durvasula noted that it’s human to want "intimate relationships," Bertinelli joked: "Well, I did. I'm not so much want[ing] that right now." Durvasula revealed that "a lot of the core of narcissism is this insecurity, this fragility." Bertinelli interjected to say that the narcissists she’s known, though, "seem like they're not insecure. They're so like — it's magnetizing to see someone that sure of themselves," and Durvasula explained that narcissists "are good at what we call expressed self-confidence," essentially being know-it-alls. RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS FRONT MAN'S GIRLFRIEND OF THE '90S WAS 'RATTLED FOR YEARS' BY HIS HEROIN ADDICTION The doctor further explained that the traits of a narcissist encompass low empathy, arrogance, entitlement, grandiosity and pathological selfishness. "They can only center [around] themselves," she added. "They're status seeking. So, they want whatever is going to make them look powerful to the world. They are not able to tolerate things like frustration, disappointment, stress, or anything that doesn't sort of prop up that grandiose sort of fantasy of them. They're driven very much by power, domination, control. They need to be the ones on top." And those traits, she explained, show up as "manipulation, invalidation, dismissiveness, gaslighting, rage, silent treatment, competitiveness, making us small so they can feel big, betrayal, promising things that they never follow through on." CHELSEA HANDLER RIPS MARRIAGE AS ‘OUTDATED,’ SAYS SHE PRIORITIZES FREEDOM Prefacing her analysis of her own past relationships with "I can only speak about my own experience and being very careful not to," Bertinelli said: "I would never ever think that that person had any of those traits, but the way that they showed up was, oh boy, all of the things you said." She added that she wanted her podcast to help people from "falling into that trap." "I have a little joke that it's just like, ‘OK, somebody's got to tell me every single different kind of narcissist there is out there because I need to know what to not fall into.’" she said. "Again, I even talked to my therapist. I said, 'Please tell me what red flags are exactly so I can keep an eye out for them.'" VALERIE BERTINELLI SLAMS CRITICS WHO ‘HARSHLY’ JUDGED HER SKIN-BARING UNDERWEAR SNAP She noted that in a past relationship someone she didn’t name had repeatedly told her she was a narcissist and that she was hurting them. "And I was like, ‘Well, I don't want to be hurting people. I don't want to be selfish. I don't want to do all these things. Please, God, tell me.’ And I'm like, at a certain point, I said: ‘I don't understand why you're with me. Like I can't do anything right,’" she said. But the doctor explained to her that person was manipulating her. VALERIE BERTINELLI ADMITS THAT EDDIE VAN HALEN AND TOM VITALE SPLITS WERE ‘COMPLETELY DIFFERENT’ "‘You will be lovable if you do the things I'm telling you to do,’" she said a narcissist would tell her. "That's the twist." Bertinelli also suggested the person had told her she prioritizes her son, Wolfgang Van Halen, too much, which Durvasula described as a great example of low empathy, when a romantic partner can’t understand that a relationship with your child is a different kind of love. She added that when Bertinelli thought she was building intimacy with the person by opening up, "you were basically filling an armory with weapons that they were going to use against you." FORMER CHILD STAR JENNETTE MCCURDY REVEALS GROOMING ‘RED FLAG’ SHE MISSED DATING OLDER MAN AT 18 Bertinelli said now if she sees any sign of "love bombing," where people flatter the other person to manipulate them, she can’t tell if it’s genuine affection or not. "Because there is a point where like getting love notes or being spoken beautifully to and telling — like there's a point of letting someone know how you feel about them, and then there's the love bombing and the like it get moving fast," she said. The doctor replied: "Idealization is not a place for a relationship to start. And to all you romantics out there, suck it because I'm going to tell you right now, it is just not." PETE DAVIDSON SAYS YOUNG PEOPLE 'DON'T HAVE A SHOT' AT FINDING LOVE Bertinelli also specified the "insidious" isolation she had experienced in a relationship. "It starts — it's not ‘Don't see your family.’ It's when you are with your family, they'll be constantly texting and constantly and starting an argument through texts and calling. And I'm like, ‘I can't talk right now,’" which she said left her feeling like she couldn’t see her family because it upset her significant other. After breaking up with her boyfriend of 10 months in late 2024, following her divorce from her second husband in 2022, Bertinelli explained at the Los Angeles Time Festival of Books last weekend that she was "really scared of dating right now." HOLLYWOOD'S BIGGEST MARRIAGES CRUMBLE AS NICOLE KIDMAN, KEITH URBAN AND MORE STARS CALL IT QUITS IN 2025 She continued, "I've had, you know, two — I'm just scared." Bertinelli told Fox News Digital at the panel that she realized for the first time through writing her memoir, "Getting Naked," "I didn't give myself enough credit for the strength I already had inside me. And that I'm — that I don't have to listen to people be negative to me." The star said that she was "surprised that I was able to learn that. Finally! That I don't have to listen to people be horrible to me. I don't have to tolerate intolerable behavior." BILLY BUSH COMPARES BROOKLYN BECKHAM FAMILY FALLOUT TO PRINCE HARRY: ‘HE WENT NUCLEAR’ She added to Fox News Digital that when she wrote her 2022 book "Enough Already" she thought she had learned that lesson, "but I still put up with intolerable behavior after that." "It wasn't until I really dug down and got to the root of my shame and the dark side that I made friends with it," she said. "Then I thought, ‘Now I'm done. Now I can just say, f--- you. That's it, I'm done. I'm out,’ you know?" After divorcing her first husband, Eddie Van Halen, in 2007, she married businessman Tom Vitale in 2010. At the end of their marriage, Bertinelli began to refer to Vitale as "the narcissist," saying that he emotionally abused her, calling her "fat and lazy."

"I don’t want her to get a big head or anything like that because she is so young to the business and she’s picked it up so quickly. But then again, psychology. When she learns that, oh man, she’s gonna be hell to deal with. She’s going to be something very, very special. But she’s gotta really lean into learning that side of it."

"Again, there are those building blocks that we gotta work with Kali. Me, personally, I’m going to be working with Kali person-to-person, on a one-on-one perspective, to just hone that skill, to let her know those details.

Some are cool, some are lame and some are... the Cincinnati Reds. Full disclosure: I am a Reds fan. It's a painful existence, to be certain (Cincinnati hasn't won a playoff series since 1995 when I was 6 years old). But I'm not sure that I've seen anything as disgusting on the field as the uniforms the Reds wore on Saturday night against the Detroit Tigers. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Prior to the game, the Reds welcomed the team's 2026 Reds Hall of Fame Class, including Brandon Phillips, Lou Piniella, Aaron Harang and Reggie Sanders. And then they subjected those team legends to the worst uniforms in franchise history. A history that also includes many sleeveless jerseys, by the way. For the squeamish among us, I'd encourage you now to either shield your eyes or go read another story (preferably not that one, retention time is important for me). Seriously, what the heck are these uniforms? The all-red is atrocious. The logo is huge and ugly. And, you might not be able to tell, but there are also faint pinstripes on the jersey, the pants and the helmet. Why? It's as if the designer's direction was "Hey, can you make the ugliest uniforms in Reds history?" "Done and done." And just to be clear, this is the actual plan: an all-red City Connect 2.0 set with faint pinstripes and a darker red sleeve. It's not a one-off mistake. For the record, here's what the Reds official website says about the uniforms: "A perennial favorite of both Reds fans and players alike, pinstripes have been featured on various Reds uniforms throughout history. City Connect 2.0 brings back this classic element to a new generation, but in a modernized tone-on-tone style. The sleeve is a darker shade of red and the jersey’s pinstripes [are] intentionally cut off at the shoulder, a nod to the popular vest-style uniforms last worn two decades ago." Why in the world are they reminding people about the "vest-style" uniforms? Those were terrible too! SMALL MARKET MLB TEAMS ARE OUTPERFORMING BIG PAYROLLS, UNDERMINING OWNERS' PUSH TO CANCEL 2027 SEASON With all the discussions about the New York Yankees looking to finally add an alternate uniform, I think it's time the Reds went the opposite direction. Cincinnati is the oldest franchise in MLB history. They should have simple, classic uniforms. I get it, I sound like a mid-30-year-old trapped in the mind of an 80-year-old. Fine. Give me the classic Reds uniforms all day over this "modern" abomination.

The Minocqua Brewing Company is owned by Wisconsin Democrat Kirk Bangstad, a former state Assembly candidate who has repeatedly used the brewery’s brand to attack Trump and Republicans. The brewery's social media lamented Saturday night's foiled attack at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. "Well, we almost got #freebeerday," the company's post read, although Fox News could not immediately identify the poster's tie to the owner. "Either a brother or sister in the Resistance needs to work on their marksmanship or he faked another assassination to get a positive news cycle. We’ll never know." IDAHO BAR OWNER FACES DEATH THREATS AFTER VIRAL PROMO OFFERING FREE BEER FOR ASSISTING ICE "Regardless, we stand at the ready to pour free beer the day it happens," the post concluded. Bangstad was the Democrat nominee for Wisconsin’s 34th Assembly District in 2020, according to Ballotpedia, but lost the general election. Minocqua Brewing sells politically themed merchandise, including shirts saying, "I wish it was free beer day," and pitches its progressive brand that pairs beer with activism and "snarky progressive merch." DONALD TRUMP JR. WARNS POLITICAL VIOLENCE IS 'NOT GOING BOTH WAYS' AS HE MOURNS CHARLIE KIRK'S DEATH Fox News Digital previously reported on the brewery’s "free beer day" vow. In January, Fox News highlighted a Minocqua Brewing message offering "free beer, all day long, the day he dies," and noted Bangstad’s comment that he would welcome people to celebrate Trump’s "impending death" with one caveat: "no red hats allowed." Fox News also identified Bangstad as the founder of the Minocqua Brewing Company super PAC, which targets Trump and Republicans. Also, Bangstad once sued to keep Trump off the Wisconsin ballots before the 2024 presidential election. The fresh backlash followed Saturday night’s security scare at the WHCA dinner in Washington, where Trump and first lady Melania Trump were evacuated after shots were fired outside the ballroom. Fox News reached out Sunday to Bangstad, the brewery and the Wisconsin Democratic Party. In a January statement to Fox News, Bangstad welcomed the celebration of the "impending death" of Trump. PENTAGON CALLS CHARLIE KIRK POSTS ‘DOMESTIC TERRORISM’; DEM WARNS DISCIPLINE IS ‘UN-AMERICAN’ Bangstad and Minocqua Brewing have drawn repeated scrutiny beyond their anti-Trump messaging. Wisconsin Public Radio reported Bangstad was charged last year in a harassment case tied to a dispute with a local newspaper publisher, and Wisconsin newspaper reporting said he later entered a no-contest plea in a disorderly conduct case and was found guilty earlier this month. JB PRITZKER CONDEMNS POLITICAL VIOLENCE AFTER CHARLIE KIRK'S DEATH, SAYS TRUMP'S RHETORIC 'OFTEN FOMENTS IT' Trump-backed House candidate Michael Alfonso called out the normalization of Bangstad's rhetoric in the state.

Merriman recalled watching the event as well as Stardom’s show. The all-women Japanese promotion also performed in the Pearl Theater at Palms Casino Resort during the week as pro wrestling fans descended on the city ahead of WrestleMania 42. Merriman said he previously watched CMLL in Mexico City and hoped to go to more shows. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! "I’m a big wrestling fan," he told Fox News Digital. "I checked out their show and I went to Stardom, which is the all-women’s Japanese show, which is insane. I was blown away by them. I saw the other show, two shows in Mexico City, and it was almost 10,000-plus people out there. It was just insane. "For them to have their first show here in the States, I think they did a really good job. There were a little over 2,000 people there. I thought it was great. Some of the (wrestlers) I already knew and I got a chance to see up close and personal. I got a chance to go back and meet some of the talent and kind of shake hands. Believe it or not, some of them were San Diego Chargers fans because they watched me growing up, obviously playing in San Diego. I look forward to going to more shows." Merriman has a soft spot for pro wrestling. He made a few appearances on WWE programming and appeared for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling in 2024 (TNA), interfering in Joe Hendry’s match at Rebellion.

"Even as a player, what I always love is playing on people’s emotions when I go to stadiums. I love that. Having a big sack, ‘lights out’ dance, you get them happy or get them mad at you, you control the crowd, you control people’s emotions. Even Randy Orton losing (at WrestleMania 42) and how that made people feel. I remember when Undertaker, that streak was gone." Merriman likened the emotions of the crowd at pro wrestling events to that of NFL games and praised everything that it takes to make a successful pro wrestling match. "So when you see those wrestlers, the choreography that goes into it, the storylines that build up, the storytelling of it, the flip of it … When I did the wrestling show, myself, (TNA) Impact, and AJ Francis, who went to the University of Maryland and is now with TNA Wrestling, the fact that I got a chance to clothesline Joe Hendry, nobody saw it coming. Nobody saw what was going on and how that was gonna play out," he said. "The fact that I get there and Joe Hendry was already so hot as one of their up-and-coming guys, and I just thought that whole plot twist, I mean, the boos that came after that, it was outstanding and it couldn’t have gone any better. When you talk about pro wrestling, I’m with you. I’m all in and I wish I was doing more of it."

"It's got every single bell and whistle you can possibly have for security and safety... It's really what you need..." Trump said on Fox News' "The Sunday Briefing." "You can't have a thousand rooms [above] or whatever. It is a very big hotel on top of the ballroom and people come down in the elevator, and they're right next to the ballroom… nobody's blaming them. They're good people... I've been in that room many times, but it's had difficulty in the past and the new one [at the White House] is set not to have that kind of thing." Trump touted security features anticipated for the White House space, including four-inch-thick bulletproof glass. He reiterated that the isolated space would be more secure by design compared to the present hotel location where the suspected gunman had been staying as a guest. FOX NATION REVEALS NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN FOOTAGE FROM TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT IN BUTLER "It's pretty tough [to secure]," he said of the hotel. "We're building a big, beautiful, very, very secure ballroom in every way with massive bulletproof glass that's almost four inches thick... and all of the elements that you need, like, drone-proofing." Trump continued, "We also need a [better] location and the location is on the White House grounds, which is the most secure ground probably in the world, including the fencing, including everything else. The president doesn't have to leave the premises."

Trump was eager to see the event go on after the suspect was apprehended, but ultimately abided by law enforcement guidance and refrained. TRUMP PUSHES BACK AFTER MICHELLE OBAMA KNOCKS EAST WING RENOVATION, CALLING OLD ARRANGEMENT ‘A DISASTER' "We can't let these criminals, and really bad people, change the course of our country," Trump added on Sunday, explaining his desire to return. Trump also offered praise for Secret Service and law enforcement agents who handled the incident, telling Fox News' Jacqui Heinrich that the group did an "outstanding" job. The suspected gunman, identified as 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen of Torrance, California, is currently in custody and is slated to be arraigned on Monday. Senior federal law enforcement sources with knowledge of the investigation told Fox News that Allen told law enforcement after his arrest that he was targeting Trump administration officials. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche did not specify which officials were Allen's intended targets during a Sunday NBC News appearance, but did not rule out that the president may have been a focus. Allen's manifesto also entered the spotlight on Sunday, with reports swirling that he held anti-Trump and anti-Christian beliefs.

Jamie Raskin, D-Md., was pressed Sunday on whether Democrats should tone down rhetoric against President Donald Trump after the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Saturday evening triggered chaos. When asked on CNN's "State of the Union" by Dana Bash whether he and other Democrats should reconsider heated, inflammatory language toward Trump, Raskin responded, "What rhetoric do you have in mind?" before adding that he criticizes administration policies rather than making personal attacks. "I talk about the policies of this administration, the authoritarianism," Raskin said. "I don’t personalize it." Raskin, often a vocal critic of the Trump administration, has previously called for cognitive tests of the president and said Trump has taken a "chainsaw" to the Constitution. During the interview, Raskin also defended the role of the press and criticized what he described as past attacks on media institutions. "I think the press are the people’s best friend and that’s why it’s written right there into the First Amendment," Raskin said. "We need the press to be a vigilant watchdog against every level of government." TRUMP PRAISES PRESS AFTER WHCD SHOOTING, SAYS UNITY AT DINNER WAS 'BEAUTIFUL' Raskin was also asked whether he had confidence in FBI Director Kash Patel and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to oversee the investigation into the dinner incident. "I hope that this investigation is done with complete openness and transparency," Raskin said. DANA WHITE SAYS HE REFUSED TO GET DOWN DURING WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER SHOOTING The interview began with discussion of the Saturday night incident, after Kerry Kennedy posted on social media that loud noises sent guests to the floor before Secret Service agents rushed into the room. Raskin said he had just arrived and was speaking with Kennedy when chaos broke out. "I had just come in the room a few minutes before," Raskin said. "Suddenly there’s loud booms, crashing sounds, plates, silverware, everything flying all over the place." Raskin said he immediately thought about Kennedy's family history after the assassinations of her father, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, and uncle, President John F. Kennedy. "I thought immediately about Kerry’s situation, having lost her father in gun violence assassination and her uncle," Raskin said. US JUDGE ORDERS SUSPECT DETAINED FOR THREATENING TO KILL RICHARD GRENELL Blanche said Sunday that the alleged shooter was refusing to help investigators. He also said authorities believe the suspect traveled from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., by train and that additional charges and details were expected after formal filings. "From what we've learned in our preliminary investigation, he's not actively cooperating," Blanche said. Federal authorities have not yet released a full motive as of Sunday morning.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ee44e2059ccda1fcc2c47c Unearthed video reveals Cole Allen as quiet inventor years before alleged bid to assassinate Trump te 2026-04-26T17:01:22.392Z Unearthed video reveals Cole Allen as quiet inventor years before alleged bid to assassinate Trump Newly unearthed video shows a different side of the gunman authorities say tried to blast his way into the press dinner to kill President Donald Trump. In the decade-old video obtained by Fox News Digita, Cole Allen, now 31, presents his invention at an "Aging into the Future" conference co-sponsored by St. Barnabas Senior Services in Los Angeles. Surrounded by fellow innovators, he demonstrated a prototype emergency brake for wheelchairs — a device he assembled using basic PVC piping. The contraption was notably simple, engineering experts told Fox News Digital, and didn't reflect particularly advanced mechanical engineering for a graduating senior at Caltech. Still, the video provides a sharp contrast in the life of an angry radical accused of trying to barrel through the Washington Hilton on Connecticut Avenue NW in a shocking assassination plot allegedly targeting Trump administration officials at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. The video chronicles a very stark contrast to the portrait emerging from law enforcement interviews with Allen's brother and sister and his own writings in a manifesto.  Speaking about past assassination plots, Trump told Fox News on Sunday, "You know, these assassins, they seem to be high IQ people, but they're crazy." The FBI has now identified Allen as the suspect in the shooting Saturday night at the Washington Hilton, with his brother reporting to law enforcement authorities that Allen's manifesto detailed allegedly deadly plans at the weekend gathering for journalists and administration officials. Trump told Fox News, "The guy is a sick guy. When you read his manifesto, he hates Christians. That's one thing for sure. He hates Christians, a hatred."  Trump said his family raised alarm bells with law enforcement.  "He was a very troubled guy," he said, later also calling him "disturbed." According to law enforcement officials, Allen also descended into anti-Trump hate, attending at least one of the three "No Kings" protests organized over the past year by groups including Democratic-leading nonprofits, like Indivisible, MoveOn and American Federation of Teachers, and a network of socialist organizations, including the People's Forum, the Party for Socialism and Liberation and the ANSWER Coalition, funded by an American tech tycoon, Neville Roy Singham, living in Shanghai. WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER SUSPECT CHECKED INTO HILTON HOTEL ONE DAY BEFORE THE SHOOTING: SOURCES Almost a decade ago, Allen appeared to have very different priorities.  In a news segment published in March 2017 by WABC in Los Angeles, Allen appears as a disciplined student at the California Institute of Technology, an elite institution known for admitting students with near-perfect test scores and training top-tier engineers and scientists. Speaking in a flat, measured tone, Allen walked a reporter through the mechanics of his device, explaining how it could stabilize a wheelchair and prevent it from skidding. "The wheelchair brakes tend to lock the wheels but don't actually lock the chair to the ground," he explained. WHO IS COLE ALLEN? CALIFORNIA MAN NAMED AS SUSPECT IN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER SHOOTING Kneeling beside the wheels of a wheelchair and fiddling with an assembly of QVC pipes between the wheels, he continued, "The deal with this is to prevent it from moving at all." A year later, Allen earned a mechanical engineering degree. While in college, he completed a competitive summer research fellowship at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, contributing to astrophysics work, according to his LInkedIn profile. He also developed complex technical projects, including a physics-based role-playing shooter game called "First Law," as well as robotic systems and later another intricate game, "Bohrdom," released on the Steam platform. Gaming experts said his "Bohrdom" game was very basic in its technical level. After Caltech, Allen held down a job for only about a year before starting work as a tutor with C2 Education in 2020 and going on to earn a master’s degree in computer science from California State University, Dominguez Hills, in 2025. C2 Education recognized Allen a "teacher of the month" in late 2024, according to a social media post. Records also show a small political donation during the 2024 election cycle to the Kamala Harris presidential race. Allen now faces federal charges including using a firearm during a crime of violence and assault on a federal officer, with additional charges expected. Jesse Watson contributed to this report.

"We thank the president for his strength during a time when our nation and everyone in that immediate moment needed it," Fields said Sunday on "Fox & Friends Weekend." Chaos broke out at the event Saturday night when suspected gunman Cole Allen reportedly stormed a security checkpoint and opened fire.  Fields described "pandemonium" in the ballroom after shots were fired and said it took more than a minute before attendees on stage, including Trump and first lady Melania Trump, were aware of the possible danger.  Despite the confusion, Fields said the president wanted to return to the stage when the threat was no longer present. "When we heard he wanted to come back out, we all kind of chuckled and said, 'Of course he does, because that's exactly who he is.'"

However, many A-list celebrities have made the decision to transform the pain of their failed marriage into a lifelong friendship with their former partner, something that previously has been unusual in the business. Jennifer Aniston most recently liked ex-husband Justin Theroux's baby announcement — which he shared in a joint Instagram post with his wife Nicole Brydon Bloom. Aniston and Theroux were married from 2015 until 2018, and have remained friends since their divorce. Other stars who have remained friendly with their exes include Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, Courtney Cox and David Arquette, and more.

Last year, Paltrow talked about the status of her relationship with Martin, whom she shared two children with. Paltrow told Vanity Fair: "It’s not quite brother, but we are complete family. He is there for me through anything, and vice versa," she said of Martin. KATY PERRY AND JUSTIN TRUDEAU SPARK DATING RUMORS, JOINING HIGH STAKES WORLD OF CELEB-POLITICIAN ROMANCES Ben Affleck and ex-wife Jennifer Garner have also maintained friendly relations despite splitting in 2015. Last year, Garner wished Affleck a happy Father’s Day on her Instagram, posting a picture of him with one of their kids.

In 2016, Garner explained why she became friends with Affleck despite their divorce. "The main thing is these kids. And we’re completely in line with what we hope for them," she told Vanity Fair. "If you see your kids love someone so purely and wholly, then you’re going to be friends with that person," she told Vanity Fair. NICOLE KIDMAN, RACHEL RAY, TED DANSON KEEP MARRIAGES HOT WITH UNCONVENTIONAL RULES Demi Moore has been supportive of ex-husband Bruce Willis — even almost 30 years after their divorce. They were married from 1987 until 2000. Moore and Willis, who was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2023, share three daughters together: Rumer, Tallulah and Scout. On Willis, Moore told People last year "that regardless of what the outside relationship has been, we have maintained being a family in various forms. The foundation of making our children our priority has never wavered." CHANNING TATUM AND HIS GIRLFRIEND INKA WILLIAMS PUT THEIR PDA ON DISPLAY DURING COSTA RICA TRIP After they split, Moore and Willis still attended premieres together and traveled to Paris — and during the COVID pandemic, they isolated together. Moore attended his wedding to his now-wife Emma Heming in 2009, four years after he attended her wedding to then-husband Ashton Kutcher. Willis welcomed two more daughters with Heming: Mabel and Evelyn. ORLANDO BLOOM ADDRESSES KATY PERRY BREAKUP IN FIRST PUBLIC COMMENTS SINCE SPLIT After his diagnosis, Moore signed a note alongside Heming and his five children: "We are moving through this as a strong family unit, and wanted to bring his fans in because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him. As Bruce always says, ‘Live it up’ and together we plan to do just that." Courteney Cox and David Arquette are another friendly ex-couple. The duo, who are parents to daughter Coco, were married from 1999 until their divorce in 2013.

"Put the needs of the child first. That’s so important to think about, ‘Is this in the best interest for the child?’ And that's what we've done from day one with Flynn, and that's helped navigate so many challenging situations that have come up. Kids first," she told the outlet. Bloom and his ex-fiancée Katy Perry also co-parent their daughter Daisy. A source told People in December that "they’re both super committed to keeping this family dynamic," noting that it’s "all amicable and pretty easy."

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ee3928059ccda1fcc2c2f6 From Southern clubs to Netflix: How clean comic Derrick Stroup is stopping audiences in their tracks te 2026-04-26T16:11:20.917Z From Southern clubs to Netflix: How clean comic Derrick Stroup is stopping audiences in their tracks Comedian Derrick Stroup knows he’s a fish out of water in New York City. He can tell by how his accent "stops traffic in a bodega." But the Alabama native isn’t changing who he is for the Big Apple. Instead, he's bringing the "playing in the dirt" toughness of his 1990s upbringing to the comedy world. His latest Netflix special, "Nostalgic," serves as a high-energy wake-up call for a generation of kids he says aren’t built for the playground games of his youth. "Some of the games we played, you could not bring back," Stroup told Fox News Digital. "I mean, you couldn't bring back the purple nurple. These kids aren't built for it," he said. "‘Safe space, safe space!’ They'd be in a panic." The comic said his stand-up style has been described as "Bill Burr raised in the woods," and noted his special is a tribute to something that most people can relate to: growing up. It’s a perspective that’s resonated with audiences across the country, landing his special in the Netflix Top 10. 'ROASTMASTER' JEFF ROSS SHREDS CANCEL CULTURE: PEOPLE ‘DON’T WANT THEIR COMEDY WATERED DOWN' While he’s living in New York now, Stroup said he remains a Southerner at heart who continues to experience the culture shock of living in the North. He noted that something as simple as communication is different. Whereas in New York a horn is a way to say hello, in Alabama it could quickly "turn into an altercation." He also admits he hasn’t found a local diner that can match the grit and charm of a Waffle House. "I miss a sweet woman with red lipstick on that smells like cigarettes that's refilling my sweet tea," Stroup said. "That's hard to find up North." But Stroup’s rise to the Netflix stage wasn’t an overnight success. He spent a decade in retail management, working overnights and selling furniture to keep the pressure on himself. He said he purposefully didn't want a "Plan B" that ever felt too comfortable. "I can promise you, as a manager in Big Lots, I was not like, ‘This is my end game,’" he said jokingly, adding that there were times when he went without healthcare. "I always made sure that I kind of positioned myself in the room to where comedy was my only way out." COMEDIANS TURN 'FAT SHAMING' JOKE ON JOE ROGAN'S PODCAST INTO ANNUAL 5K THAT IS CHANGING LIVES Stroup practices clean comedy, meaning he keeps the language toned down and topics lighthearted. But his delivery is anything but quiet. He described himself as an "observational, ranty type of comedian" who gets worked up over the smallest inconveniences. "I'm naturally an emotional man. I run hot," Stroup said. "I can get just as fired up about a plate of tater tots as I can my shirt getting caught on a doorknob in a hallway." Staying clean while making people laugh is a skill Stroup said he picked up while working as the opener for Christian comic John Crist for several years. He explained he learned how to "walk that line" between getting a laugh, and not "punching down." That aspect of his comedy led him to also work with one of comedy’s biggest names, Nate Bargatze, another clean comic who also happens to hail from the South. DAVE CHAPPELLE SAYS HE’S CONSIDERING REVISITING ‘CHAPPELLE’S SHOW’ DECADES AFTER WALKING AWAY "Me and Nate are naturally kind of similar people. We grew up 90 miles from each other," Stroup explained. It’s a connection he’s fostered, having gone on tour with Bargatze, being part of his Christmas special produced by "Saturday Night Live" creator Lorne Michaels, and now starring in Bargatze’s upcoming film "The Breadwinner." Stroup said Bargatze’s "right down the middle" style means everyone can enjoy a laugh. Stroup’s special taps into the rage of Americans today, but over everyday occurrences — not bigger existential or divisive topics. Rather, he answers the burning question of whether the middle-seat person on planes deserves armrests, and recalls having to call the girl he liked on a landline and the panic surrounding what to do if her dad picked up. SNL LEGEND EXPLAINS HOW SHORT ATTENTION SPANS ARE HAVING A DIRECT IMPACT ON COMEDY "If somebody was really mad about something, like I was on a soap box all the time, or I was really trying to change your mind, that's not a fun conversation," Stroup said. "When somebody's unraveling over something that truly doesn't matter, it's pure entertainment," he added. Stroup’s special "Nostalgic" is now airing on Netflix. You can also catch him on the road this year on his "Running Hot Tour." Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ee3915059ccda1fcc2c2ed Hospice fraud uses stolen identities for fake patients te 2026-04-26T16:11:01.083Z Hospice fraud uses stolen identities for fake patients Earlier this month, the California Attorney General's office filed charges against 21 people tied to a $267 million Medi-Cal hospice fraud ring. The case, dubbed Operation Skip Trace, accuses the defendants of buying stolen personal information on the dark web, enrolling those identities in Medi-Cal through Covered California, and running 14 shell hospice companies that billed the state for end-of-life care that was never provided. The patients were not dying. In many cases, they did not even live in California. They were names and Social Security numbers pulled from data breaches and turned into billing line items. Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy Report DOCTOR DENIES KNOWING ABOUT RAMPANT LA-AREA MEDICARE FRAUD USING HIS PROVIDER NUMBER Scammers pay people to put hospice companies in their names, even though they do not run them. This hides the real operators and gives the group a licensed business it can use to submit bills. Behind the scenes, others buy stolen personal information from dark web marketplaces. This includes names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers and addresses. They then use that information to enroll people in Medi-Cal through Covered California and list them as terminally ill hospice patients. Next, the companies submit claims for visits, prescriptions and daily care tied to those names. They never provide any services. Because hospice care pays a flat daily rate, the billing continues as long as the identity stays active. Operation Skip Trace is the latest in a string of hospice fraud cases that federal and state officials have been tracking for years. The typical hospice in Los Angeles County bills Medicare roughly $29,000 per patient, more than double the national average. Of the roughly 1,800 hospices operating in LA County, more than 700 have triggered multiple fraud red flags, according to state auditors. On March 23, 2026, the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform sent a letter to California Governor Gavin Newsom requesting documents on the state's oversight of federally funded hospice programs. Committee members cited a "well-documented history of fraud," including agencies enrolling beneficiaries without their knowledge and overbilling Medicare. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services estimates that Los Angeles County alone accounts for roughly $3.5 billion in hospice fraud. Newsom's office said California has revoked more than 280 hospice licenses, maintained a moratorium on new providers and has hundreds more operators under investigation. GOOGLE SEARCH LED TO A COSTLY SCAM CALL Most identity theft stories focus on credit cards, tax returns or new loans. Those usually show up on your credit report. Hospice fraud works differently. Scammers can use your information inside a Medicare or Medi-Cal billing system without triggering a credit alert or hard inquiry. That means it can go unnoticed. Watch for warning signs like Medicare Summary Notices listing services you never received, Medi-Cal enrollment letters in your name or explanation-of-benefits statements from providers you have never visited. If you apply for coverage later, you could face a denial because records show you are already enrolled in another state. If your data was exposed in a breach, it may already be circulating on the dark web. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services recommends reviewing your Medicare Summary Notice each quarter through MyMedicare.gov. If you are enrolled in Medi-Cal, check your Covered California account for unexpected activity and report anything suspicious to the California Department of Health Care Services through its Stop Medi-Cal Fraud line. Suspected Medicare fraud can be reported to 1-800-MEDICARE or directly to the HHS Office of Inspector General at oig.hhs.gov/fraud. The Senior Medicare Patrol offers free help reviewing statements and filing reports in every state. If you notice unfamiliar charges or enrollment activity, place a fraud alert with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. Medical identity theft often overlaps with other types of fraud. Hospice fraud schemes like Operation Skip Trace often begin long before billing ever happens. The personal data used is typically traded on dark web marketplaces after large data breaches. Services like Aura monitor these marketplaces and data broker listings for exposed personal information, including Social Security numbers, driver's licenses, and email addresses. They also track public record changes, such as address updates that may signal fraudulent enrollment, and monitor credit files across Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. If suspicious activity is detected, users receive support from fraud resolution specialists who help contact agencies, prepare documentation, and dispute unauthorized accounts. Plans may also include identity theft insurance for eligible recovery costs. No service can prevent every misuse of a stolen identity. But when fraud happens inside systems you rarely check, like Medicare or Medi-Cal, early alerts can make a critical difference. Credit monitoring services track activity across the major credit bureaus and alert you when something changes. That gives you a chance to act quickly by freezing your credit, disputing unfamiliar accounts or contacting the lender. Many services monitor your credit across Equifax, Experian and TransUnion and send alerts soon after activity is reported, so you are not waiting for a daily update to spot a problem. Some tools also let you lock your credit file with a single tap, which can help stop new applications before they are approved. Beyond credit reports, certain services monitor other personal data that may be exposed in breaches or sold online. That can include email addresses, phone numbers, driver's license details and even medical IDs, all of which can be used in identity theft schemes. While no service can prevent every type of fraud, having real-time alerts and broader monitoring can help you catch suspicious activity earlier and limit the damage. See my tips and best picks on Best Identity Theft Protection at CyberGuy.com This case shows how identity theft is evolving. It is no longer just about draining bank accounts or opening credit cards. Scammers are now turning people into invisible patients inside systems most of us never check. That shift makes this fraud harder to detect and slower to stop. The best defense is to know where your information can appear and to check systems you would not normally review. If someone could use your identity for months without you knowing, would you ever catch it before the damage is done?  Let us know by writing to us at CyberGuy.com Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy Report Copyright 2026 CyberGuy.com. All rights reserved.

Cupp criticized the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday night in Washington, D.C., arguing the annual event had been structured in a way that favored President Donald Trump, who was scheduled to headline the gathering of journalists, media executives and public officials. "The Correspondents’ Association was trying to sort of mend some fences with a guy who wants us dead, figuratively. Figuratively, he wants journalism dead," Cupp said. "It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me." Cupp made the remarks about 20 minutes prior to the reported shooting during a panel discussion with CNN anchors John Berman and Laura Coates as the network previewed Trump's arrival. The White House Correspondents' Association dinner has historically celebrated press freedom while bringing together reporters and government officials, though Trump boycotted the event during his first term. Cupp said she was disappointed by how the evening had been arranged and the decision to feature Trump as the central speaker. DANA WHITE SAYS HE REFUSED TO GET DOWN DURING WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER SHOOTING "I’m real bummed. Real bummed about tonight," Cupp said. She argued the dinner was meant to celebrate journalism but instead elevated officials who have clashed with the national press corps. "Journalism is throwing a party. Journalism is celebrating journalism at this party," Cupp said. "Journalism, for some reason, invited Brendan Carr, FCC chair, who is threatening to revoke the licenses of broadcast networks, Pete Hegseth, who removed journalists from the Pentagon, and Donald Trump, who attacks us on the regular." She also criticized the event's schedule, noting that awards for journalists were slated for later in the program. "They’re giving Donald Trump a speaking position to roast us to our faces for an hour," Cupp said. "And he doesn’t have to stay for the part where we celebrate journalism and give out awards to journalists and talk about the importance of free speech." WHY ABC OUSTED JIMMY KIMMEL FOR CALLING CHARLIE KIRK’S KILLER A MAGA MEMBER CNN chief media analyst Brian Stelter, reporting from inside the ballroom, said demand for the event remained strong despite controversy surrounding Trump’s attendance. "It’s a sold-out dinner and news outlets have still been trying to buy more tickets, but there’s no more room in the ballroom," Stelter said. Stelter also said some veteran journalists had opposed the decision to welcome Trump to the event. "You have some veteran journalists on the outside telling journalists they should boycott this," Stelter said. TRUMP ACCEPTS WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' ASSOCIATION DINNER INVITATION FOR THE FIRST TIME AS PRESIDENT Cupp said the circumstances benefited Trump politically and were created by the press itself. "He could not have planned this scenario better. And guess what? He didn’t. We did," Cupp said. "Journalism planned this scenario for Donald Trump." Trump administration officials attending the dinner included Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. The White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting suspect, Cole Allen, told law enforcement after his arrest Saturday night that he was targeting Trump administration officials, senior federal law enforcement sources with knowledge of the investigation told Fox News.  White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNN ahead of the dinner that Trump’s remarks would mix humor with criticism. "This speech will be highly entertaining. It’s going to be a classic President Trump," Leavitt said. "There will be some comedy throughout. There will be some jabs thrown."

James Shemmeld, 46, now runs four ice cream trucks that bring in an average of about $80,000 a year, news agency SWNS reported. That’s in addition to his private ambulance and paramedic service, which generates roughly $270,000 annually and operates out of his home in Newcastle-under-Lyme, England. NEW ICE CREAM TRENDS CHURN UP INTEREST, BUT ONE CLASSIC STILL RULES THE $7.5B INDUSTRY He first returned to selling ice cream during the COVID-19 pandemic after struggling with the emotional toll of his job. "It was really difficult … and it got to the point where I realized my mental health was being affected quite severely," he told SWNS. Looking for a way to cope, Shemmeld bought a secondhand ice cream truck for about $17,500 and began selling treats in his spare time. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER "In 2020 the ice cream truck was a side hustle, but from 2021 onward it really took off and I had to buy more trucks to keep up with demand," he said. He said the business now makes up the bulk of his work, while he continues to take on paramedic jobs as needed. With the ice cream trucks, he said, the experience is a welcome contrast to his medical work. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE STORIES "None of the stresses of the medical side exist," he said. Shemmeld’s connection to the business dates back to his childhood, when a local ice cream vendor became a mentor and father figure to him. That same mentor later gifted him the first truck he worked in as a child. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ Today, Shemmeld operates his ice cream trucks several days a week — sometimes fielding medical questions from customers along the way. "You’re never not a paramedic," he said, noting he keeps a defibrillator in the truck in case of emergencies. Despite the success, he said the business was never about the money. "I don’t want to charge too much … it was about improving my mental health," he said. "I love what I do." Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ee34a0059ccda1fcc2c253 Security under scrutiny as WHCD attendees cite inconsistent screening before shooting te 2026-04-26T15:52:00.824Z Security under scrutiny as WHCD attendees cite inconsistent screening before shooting A shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is raising fresh questions about security at one of Washington’s highest-profile events, with some attendees describing what they saw as lapses in screening and access control. While the Secret Service and federal law enforcement moved quickly to secure President Donald Trump and other officials, accounts from attendees and lawmakers have painted a mixed picture of the security posture at the Washington Hilton. WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER SHOOTING SHARPENS FOCUS ON TRUMP’S BALLROOM CONSTRUCTION PROPOSAL Misha Komadovsky, a journalist for Germany’s DW, shared a photo on X of the paper ticket used by attendees to gain access to the event, saying it was "the only thing required" for entry into the Washington Hilton ballroom. "There was no security screening prior to entering the lobby," he wrote. ABC News reporter Beatrice Peterson, who wrote on X that she has attended the event for more than a decade, offered a more measured assessment, saying the overall security posture appeared consistent with past years.  She noted that pre-event gatherings tend to be more fluid, while the dinner itself is typically more tightly controlled, and that security — both plainclothes and uniformed — is always present inside and outside the venue. Peterson described the crowd and security presence as "typical-ish" for a year in which the president attends the dinner, suggesting no obvious deviations from past practice. However, she said multiple investigations are expected to examine what happened and whether any failures occurred, adding the incident could permanently change how the event is handled going forward. SECRET SERVICE IN LINE OF FIRE AT WHCA SHOOTING STILL UNPAID DUE TO DEM-LED SHUTDOWN Harrison Fields, a former White House principal deputy press secretary, told "FOX & Friends" there were "no checkpoints to get into the hotel," adding that the gunman could have been "roaming" and observing attendees before the incident. "There was a VIP reception right off the main ballroom where Cabinet secretaries were, where the president could have been — and there was no security apparatus leading up to that point," Fields said. Fields acknowledged that the Secret Service and local law enforcement "took immediate steps to keep us safe," but said there was "no real buffer" in place, which he noticed as soon as he arrived. WORLD LEADERS CONDEMN ‘UNACCEPTABLE’ VIOLENCE AFTER ARMED ATTACK DISRUPTS WH CORRESPONDENTS’ DINNER Even as some attendees described the security posture as typical, lawmakers offered a far more critical assessment. Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., pointed to what he described as "glaring security issues," even as he acknowledged that the Secret Service and federal law enforcement "acted swiftly" to secure the ballroom and move President Donald Trump and other officials to safety. In a post on X, Lawler said there was no photo ID requirement or verified attendee list, which he noted is standard for White House events. He also cited the absence of magnetometers before entry to the ballroom and said multiple pre-event receptions with limited security created potential access points. Lawler said the building remained open to the public and raised concerns about accountability inside the room, noting there was no clear handle on how many members of Congress were present or where they were seated. He called for a "complete and thorough after-action" review, focusing on how the gunman moved from his hotel room into what he described as a secure area with multiple firearms. ARMED MAN SHOT AND KILLED AFTER ‘UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY’ INTO MAR-A-LAGO: SECRET SERVICE Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., who attended the dinner, also raised concerns about the venue itself. "We were there front and center," Fetterman said. "That venue wasn’t built to accommodate an event with the line of succession for the U.S. government." Similarily, Kari Lake, a Trump ally in attendance, echoed criticism of the security measures. "I was there. Security was terrible at the event," Lake wrote on X. "It was the easiest event I’ve ever gained access to that the president was at. It was so bad we talked about it at our table before the shots rang out." The Washington Hilton has long hosted high-level government events, including gatherings attended by the president, vice president and members of Congress beyond the annual dinner. Last week, the First Lady’s Luncheon was held in the same ballroom, where first lady Melania Trump and second lady Usha Vance delivered remarks. The Secret Service’s familiarity with the venue helped enable a swift response — and is one reason the White House Correspondents’ Dinner has been held there annually since 1968.

With Dean's St. Louis Battlehawks already dominating Badger's Orlando Storm 25-0 early on in the third quarter of the UFL tilt, Badger caught a routine pass beyond the first-down marker before being bumped out of bounds. It appeared as if the play was over with Badger standing a couple of feet out of bounds, but Dean had other plans. DEAN BLANDINO ANNOUNCES UFL OVERTIME RULE CHANGE Not only did Dean deliver a hit multiple seconds after the whistle was blown on a player very clearly standing out of bounds, but he also lowered his shoulder. This wasn't an aggressive shove or chest bump; this was a full-blown, body-launching tackle on a player standing still. Dean was ejected from the game seconds later, which was undoubtedly the right decision by officials. Badger, meanwhile, remained in the game and went on to catch four passes, including a touchdown, as Orlando managed to score 17 unanswered points in the second half to make the contest mighty competitive.

Google has agreed to a $135 million settlement over claims that its Android system used people's cellular data without permission. The part that caught our attention is when it allegedly happened. According to the lawsuit, these data transfers could take place in the background, even when your phone was not in use. Most people assume that if their screen is off, nothing is happening. That isn't always the case. Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy Report HACKERS ABUSE GOOGLE CLOUD TO SEND TRUSTED PHISHING EMAILS At the center of this case is how Android handled background activity. The lawsuit claims Android devices were sending information back to Google servers without clear user consent. This reportedly happened over cellular networks, which means it may have used data you were paying for. That detail matters. If something runs over Wi Fi, most people do not think twice about it. Cellular data is different. It is limited for many users and often tied to monthly costs. The plaintiffs argue that Google could have restricted these transfers to Wi Fi. Instead, they say the system used cellular connections, which shifted the cost to users. Google has denied wrongdoing but agreed to settle the case. "We are pleased to resolve this case, which mischaracterized standard industry practices that keep Android safe. We're providing additional disclosures to give people more information about how our services work," José Castañeda, a Google spokesperson, told CyberGuy. This case covers a huge number of people. If you used an Android device on a cellular network at any point after November 12, 2017, there is a good chance you are part of the group. The only major exception is if you are already included in a similar case called Csupo v. Google LLC. Estimates suggest around 100 million users could qualify. That makes this one of the larger consumer tech settlements tied to everyday phone use. Before you start planning how to spend it, this is likely to be a modest payment. The settlement fund is $135 million. When that is divided across millions of people, the amount per person will depend on how many claims are filed. In most cases like this, payments tend to be small. Think of it as getting reimbursed for something you did not realize was costing you. ALLSTATE SUED FOR ALLEGEDLY TRACKING AND SELLING 45M AMERICANS' LOCATION DATA The process is already underway, but it is simpler than most people expect. In many cases, you do not need to file a full claim form to be included. If you qualify, you are already part of the settlement unless you choose to opt out. That said, there are a few steps worth taking to make sure you actually get paid. There are a couple of important dates to keep in mind. The deadline to opt out or object to the settlement is May 29, 2026. The final approval hearing is scheduled for June 23, 2026. If the court approves the deal, payments will follow after that process wraps up. This case taps into something bigger than one payout. Smartphones are designed to stay connected at all times. That includes background activity that most people never see. While that constant connection powers useful features, it also creates gray areas around consent and cost. Situations like this raise a simple question. How much do you really know about what your phone is doing behind the scenes? It also puts pressure on companies to be clearer about how data is used and when it is being transmitted. We reached out to Google for comment, but did not hear back before our deadline.  Even if the payout ends up being small, the takeaway here matters more than the money. Your phone may be using data in ways you do not notice. That includes apps you rarely open and system services running in the background. Taking a few minutes to check your settings can give you more control. (Settings may vary depending on device manufacturer) Samsung/Android: Go to Settings > Connections > Data usage > Mobile data usage >  then tap an app to see its data use and background activity. (Settings may vary depending on device manufacturer) Samsung/Android: Go to Settings > Connections > Data usage > Mobile data usage > tap an app > toggle Allow background data usage off This stops the app from using cellular data when you are not actively using it. Reduce data use for updates and backups (Settings may vary depending on device manufacturer) Go to Settings > Software update > Auto download > Using Wi-Fi only For apps, open the Google Play Store > tap your profile > Settings > Network preferences > App download preference > choose Over Wi-Fi only > OK These small changes can help you avoid using cellular data without realizing it and give you more visibility into what your phone is doing behind the scenes.

Sometimes, it raises questions about transparency and control. Google chose to settle without admitting fault. That leaves room for debate about what really happened. It also highlights how quickly technology can outpace what users expect or understand. As phones become even more connected, these kinds of cases will likely keep coming.

Allen, 31, a computer scientist from Torrance, California, is accused of opening fire at the event where President Donald Trump was in attendance. Initial reports say Secret Service agents fired 3-4 shots, and Allen fired at least one. The FBI is conducting a ballistics investigation at its lab in Quantico, and authorities are also working with credit card companies to go through purchases going back in time. Authorities said Allen was initially talking with police, but he began refusing to speak as of Sunday morning. NORTH CAROLINA MAN RECOUNTS SHOOTING AFTER TRUMP BANNER TORN FROM MOTHER’S YARD: 'SOME PEOPLE JUST SNAP' Sources say Allen is scheduled for his initial court appearance sometime Monday. Allen told law enforcement after his arrest Saturday night that he was targeting Trump administration officials, according to senior federal law enforcement sources. Allen said he planned to "shoot Trump administration officials," the sources said. TRUMP WOULD-BE ASSASSIN IN BUTLER HAD MASSIVE 'DIGITAL FOOTPRINT,’ ALLEGES COLUMNIST Authorities have said Allen rushed a Secret Service checkpoint at the event at the Washington Hilton while armed with multiple weapons. He allegedly then opened fire, striking a Secret Service officer in his ballistic vest. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said on Sunday that authorities do not believe Allen worked with any accomplices. Trump said Saturday night that the shooter was a "lone wolf." "Well, what President Trump said is that as of now we think that, that's what the police chief said as well," Blanche told NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday. "But this is an investigation that is 12 hours, 13 hours old, and so those facts can change, and they often do change. And if there's anybody else involved we will leave no stone unturned to find out everything we can about that." "But from what we know right now, from what we know given what happened last night, and the evidence we've gathered so far, we don't believe anybody else was involved, but again, we have a lot of work left to do, and a lot of evidence left to go through and to collect," Blanche added.

Aaron, a Christian actor most known for portraying NFL player Michael Oher in the Oscar-winning 2009 film, was hospitalized earlier this year and placed on life support for four days after suffering a near-fatal stroke due to a severe blood infection. Aaron told TMZ on Tuesday about his recovery journey, revealing that he had "coded" multiple times while in the hospital – that is, experienced a medical emergency – and had to be revived by staff.  "At the time, I didn’t know that’s what happened, but it made sense as I was told that that was what had happened because I saw Jesus," he told TMZ. CHRIS PRATT MADE 'DEALS WITH GOD' TO SAVE HIS SON AFTER PREMATURE BIRTH According to Aaron, he saw Jesus from the side, describing Jesus as having long white hair, dressed in a white robe, and with skin "a little lighter than mine." He said there was a "golden glow" emanating from the figure's robe. Aaron described how Jesus approached him and touched his back. "He appeared in front of me and placed his hands on my back exactly where the pain was. 'Til this day, I can still feel his hands as if they’re there," Aaron said. LAWRENCE JONES REVEALS WHY A NEW GENERATION IS RETURNING TO GOD IN FOX NATION'S ‘REVIVAL’ At that moment, he said his pain went away. He later learned from doctors he would not need any surgery, and he believes Jesus healed him. "This made it like it increased my faith, I would say, because when I found out that I coded, that made so much sense to me because it was like instead of it feeling like just a vision, it was like, no, you died... And God, you know, brought me back. Like, he placed his hands on me and I came back," he said. "So, it feels like I was given a second chance." Aaron said the experience has made him reflect on his purpose in life and realize there was "more to do."

He recalled passing out while sitting along a waterfront and later learning his fall may have been caused by diabetic ketoacidosis, a complication from extremely high blood sugar levels. "I was in diabetic ketoacidosis," he said. "The blood becomes acidic, and your organs start to shut down. So that’s why God was like, ‘Do you want to die?’ And I’m like, ‘No.’ Because I was on the way." Fox News' Lori A. Bashian contributed to this report.

Ex-detective questions security failures te 2026-04-26T15:20:41.763Z How did suspected gunman get weapons into Correspondents' Dinner? Ex-detective questions security failures Former D.C. police detective Ted Williams criticized what he described as "lax" security at Saturday night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner after a frightening incident left one Secret Service agent injured and a ballroom full of journalists and administration officials shaken. "The security there was somewhat lax to some degree, where you had these soft areas," Williams said Sunday. He raised serious concerns about how the suspected gunman, identified as 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen, a computer scientist from Torrance, California, was able to bring weapons into the hotel. "But when you have a guy that, like, Cole Allen here, actually living, actually having a room there.... one of the first things that came to mind for me was how did he get these weapons in that hotel?" TRUMP’S DC GUARD DEPLOYMENT DIDN’T FUEL VIOLENCE — BIDEN'S AFGHAN VETTING BREAKDOWN DID Authorities say Allen rushed a Secret Service checkpoint during the event while armed with multiple weapons. Williams noted that Allen appeared to have checked into the hotel well before the dinner, suggesting he may have brought the weapons in ahead of time. "They’re going to have to reassess, without a doubt," Williams said. "As long as I've known this White House dinner, or correspondents' dinner, it has been held at the Washington Hilton there, and I've attended it on numerous occasions, and I can tell you what you observed last night — in the close proximity of these tables — [it was] just too close, too many people in that ballroom at any one given time." FORMER US GYMNAST OPENS UP ON ‘TERRIFYING’ MOMENT SHOTS WERE FIRED AT WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER He added that the situation could have turned far worse. "If that guy would have actually breached into the interior of that ballroom, and everybody would have tried to rush out of there, it could have been a very catastrophic event last night." Chaos ensued at Saturday's event when Allen opened fire on a Secret Service officer, who was taken to the hospital after he was shot in his ballistic vest. Agents fired back at Allen, who was not struck. He was also taken to the hospital.  United States Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro told reporters at a news conference that Allen has been charged with two counts of using a firearm during a crime of violence and assault on a federal officer using a dangerous weapon. Pirro said that more charges are expected.

Khaled Sharif, 21, earned a degree in digital media tech from Kingston University just outside London, England. He began applying for relevant roles after he graduated in 2025, news agency SWNS reported. But despite submitting 500 applications, he said he’s had less than 20 job interviews and is yet to land a job — despite expanding his search into sales and other sectors that he "didn’t want to work in." MAN SPARKS OUTRAGE BY CALLING 30-MINUTE AIRPORT RIDE A ‘MASSIVE INCONVENIENCE’  Sharif, who holds U.K. residency through his mother, moved to the United Kingdom from Qatar at age 18. At the time, he said he was the envy of his peers, thanks to the U.K.’s reputation for offering some of the "best opportunities in the world." But Sharif said he believes his degree is not the problem.  Instead, he said the job market is a "broken system" that is "flooded" with graduate applicants. "It does make me really upset. It’s really stressful," he told SWNS. "I got [a] top-of-my-class [designation], but I can’t find anything. Kingston’s not a top university, but I just can’t find anything — and I’ve applied for everything. If people got a lower grade, how hard would it be for them?" THIS POPULAR BURGER CHAIN BUILT ITS OWN 'UNIVERSITY' TO TRAIN FUTURE LEADERS He added, "Since I posted on TikTok about it, I’ve had people [who hold] masters [degrees] saying they can’t get anything." He went on, "I could easily get a part-time job in a Tesco [supermarket]."  But he wants "to use his degree," he said.  He mentioned how much he spent to earn a college degree — and said, "I think the system is broken. More opportunities have to be made, but because of COVID and now AI, companies don’t want to hire. They’re looking to save money." He noted that he could go "back home" to Qatar — "but if you tell people you’ve worked here [in the U.K.], they instantly have respect for you, but it’s been really hard." CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE STORIES He said he suspects that when people look into his background and see that earlier on, he went to school in Qatar, "they instantly think I need sponsorship, even though I’m a resident, so I can legally work. I don’t think they read to the end of my application to see that I don’t need one." Sharif was born in Egypt and moved to Qatar at age four. He then moved to London in 2022, with a degree on his resume that he said is "essential in my culture." His mom soon followed to start her business, YallaCook — giving him residency. He believed that London was the best place to be as a "global hub of business," he told SWNS. He said that the job search has been demoralizing for him.  TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ "From the 500 applications, I’ve had 10 to 20 interviews. … They all say I passed the first one, but after the second I hear back in two weeks, and they say they’ve decided to move forward with someone else," he said. International students studying at Kingston pay an annual tuition fee in the region of $30,000 — and with cost of living incorporated, he estimates his degree cost him about $125,000. Having accrued work experience as a videographer and a photographer while working toward his degree, he's continued to freelance in place of full-time employment, he said.  He added that working for his degree "taught me a lot of life lessons but, honestly, I didn’t learn much. Everything I know content-wise is because of experience, volunteering and YouTube." He said that in retrospect, "I wish I [studied] filmmaking. But when I was thinking about it before, there were many fewer job opportunities [in that field] than [earning his degree]. I don’t think it makes a difference." As a result of his misfortune in the job market, he's now started his own clothing brand, named Zoqué ("my style" in Arabic).  CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER He said that's in order to combine his passion for presentable clothing and photography. In the U.S., according to the latest figures from a variety of sources, the typical cost of a four-year college degree varies widely by the type of education, the school itself and the financial aid that may be given to the student.  For a public college for in-state students, the cost of a four-year degree can range from roughly $80,000 to $120,000. For a public college for out-of-state students, the cost of a four-year degree can range from approximately $170,000 to $200,000 or more. And for a private college, costs of a four-year degree can range from about $180,000 to $260,000 and beyond.

But when an open spot granted him a front row seat to how the state grades its judges, he came to know just how vital the system is to keeping a high-caliber bench.  Now chair, Auther will lean on his experience as a commissioner to provide a steady hand to voters ahead of the 2026 judicial retention elections.  Questions and answers have been lightly edited for style and clarity.  What called you to JPR?  My experiences in courts in Arizona and my experience in other states — where they have every other manner of system that exists — I think proved to me that the Arizona system is the best.  I was down in a very tiny rural county in Mississippi for a hearing. I had a local lawyer who I was working with. It was a very contentious hearing. There was a lot riding on it. It was a big motion. I went down there and met with the lawyer. We go to court the next morning. We’re there at 8:45 for our 9:00 a.m. hearing; 9:15 a.m. rolls around, no one’s there; 9:30 a.m. rolls around, no one’s there; 9:45 a.m. rolls around, and all of a sudden, the judge walks out of chambers with the opposing lawyer following him. The judge takes the bench. The opposing lawyer stands next to the bench. I’m at the council table with my local counsel. Like, what’s going on here?  The judge says, ‘I’ve been talking about this motion with Mr. So and So, the plaintiff’s lawyer here, and we decided that you’re going to do this, and that’s going to be my ruling.’ And I said, ‘Judge, may I be heard on it?’ He goes, ‘Well, you can.’ But we — he and the other lawyer — have already decided this. I made the little argument he would let me make, and he didn’t change his ruling. And that was that. And I remember, thinking about it on the plane coming home, thinking, God I’m glad to be getting back to Arizona, because that just would just never happen here. It would never happen, and no one would even contemplate something like that.  What was the application process like?  I put in my application for something else, maybe rules committee or civil rules or something. And I got a call and they said, ‘Well, we don’t have any appointments there, but they’re looking for someone to be on JPR.’  That was 2012. I had to look that up today, refresh my memory. It’s been 14 years now since my first appointment, and we’ve had a lot of elections in that time, and we’ve had a lot of improvements. I’ve been on three separate task forces, maybe four, to review the rules and update them and make improvements to the process and and then that brings us to now.  What do you remember about your start as a commissioner?  It’s a learning curve, like everything else. It took me one full cycle to see the whole process from start to finish. I knew about it. JPR is nothing new. All through my career, I’ve received the forms, and in the old days, it was hard copy paper, and you had to go get one, and they would distribute them by hand, and it was a big process. I knew about the surveys, I knew about the data. I knew that there was a website you could go to to try to read some of the data. It wasn’t always in the most user friendly format. I knew all of those things, but I didn’t really know the nuts and bolts about — how much data do you get? What are the commissioners actually given? How do you evaluate? Is this good, bad or otherwise? Should we call this judge in or not, ask this judge for an explanation or not? So it took a while to get the feel from the other commissioners and the chair, and get your feet under you. How would you describe the decision-making process?  Everybody’s got to look at it independently. We’re all independent commissioners. One of my early legal mentors used to remind me, don’t underestimate the ability of someone else to see the same thing differently, and that has never been more true. In JPR, everybody has their own perspective on these things, on the data, and what the data means, and how important this aspect is versus that aspect. And everybody’s got to have a right to express their views of it, say what they need to say.  What do you think makes a good judge?  Everybody in your life is going to encounter a court, whether they like it or not. It’s just a matter of fact. Virtually everybody is going to have some encounter, whether it’s personally, a friend, a family member, the company they work for, whatever it is. And it could be anything from a probate matter to trying to get a title changed on a car for someone who’s deceased to a juvenile issue with a kid or a nephew or a niece, or a divorce, a fender bender. You might sue someone, or you might be sued. It’s going to happen, right? And the courts aren’t just for big companies who can afford it, they are for everybody. And so you have to have a system that is fair. The judges are the people in the middle of the system. They are the forward facing aspect, the public facing aspect of it.  Judicial temperament is incredibly important. Making people feel like they’ve been heard. People can understand losing when they understand why they lost. When they feel like they were able to tell their story and participate and they were heard in the process, it makes losing a lot more palatable.  We have to ensure that the public feels like they are being heard and have a forum to actually have a meaningful resolution of whatever issue it is that they’re in the courts for. And how judges do that really depends on the judge’s personality in a lot of ways. You can’t do it if you don’t have the legal ability. You’ve got to be smart, you’ve got to be hard working. But our selection process vets the judges, so we start out with good judges.  How have you worked to evolve the judicial review process?  We’ve expanded our rules to allow us to do a lot more. We’ve improved the data collection. The public hearings are always important to hear what people are saying. Our meetings are public, and anybody can show up to those and say anything they want. We’ve expanded the scope of things we can look at. We can go and look at the hearing videos, if we think that’s important, we can review court data on timeliness of things. We can review orders, written orders, written opinions, especially when it comes to the state Court of Appeals and Supreme Court justices. Those have been improvements that have come out of prior task forces and the courts readily adopted those recommendations when we’ve made them. We have a more robust dataset now than we did in 2012 for sure, and a stronger ability to to really look behind the numbers. What do you make of the increased focus on retention elections and recent campaigns to sway judicial results?  It’s debatable whether people really are trying to educate themselves, or whether they just have decided it’s a political issue. They’re going to call it by party lines. I can’t tell you how many calls we get every year, what’s this person’s political affiliation? That’s not part of the calculus. We don’t look at it. We don’t care, because there can be good judges and bad judges from any political affiliation, so we don’t tip the scales based on that. But more and more we’re getting those kinds of inquiries, like I want to know what governor appointed this person. That’s not fair, standing alone. That is not a fair criteria, to be making a decision about whether a judge should stay, should keep his or her job.  We do need more voter education. I think that people, once they are directed to the website, once they realize what’s there, I think they’re very responsive to it, and I do think they understand it. I do think they make their decisions based on it.  What’s your sense as we head into this election cycle?  I don’t see any highly political issues this year coming up. We haven’t had a lot of headline grabbing opinions that have been making their circulation in the newspapers. So I’m not anticipating any problems this year, but I don’t know. I don’t know what people are going to make of these things, right? All the judges are high performing, and that does not change from one year to the next and one election to the next. Virtually all of them are high performers.  Why is this work important? And why is this work important to you? We’ve got to have a system where we have high performing judges in courts so that people can feel like they’re getting their disputes resolved in a fair way. And that’s hugely important. It’s incredibly important that we have a high performing judiciary at every level and it’s not just for me and my clients, but it’s for everybody out there. It’s got to be a high functioning system that’s fair for everybody, and it’s the only way the system works.  The post William Auther: Aiming to retain high performing judges first appeared on Arizona Capitol Times.

As the best reliever in the game, as named by the readers of "America's Best Daily Column," my job is to produce and not blow the lead. Joe put six strong in the books, and I'm taking over with a lead. All I have to do is pick up on what worked and keep it going. So here we go.

It's grilling season after all, and don't forget I want to see your meat. Earth Day was last week, which some celebrities use as an annual opportunity to preach and tell people that they're better than everyone else. Every so often a celebrity will surprise you. They'll send a message that doesn’t do that. It's a reminder that there are some pop singers and celebrities out there that are like us, even if it's only occasionally. It's touching to see when it does occur. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Kesha had one such message this week. Is she out of her mind? Maybe. But in a moment of clarity, she shared her relatable Earth Day message. To her, it's Earth Day every day, and she paid her respects to Mother Nature by skinny dipping and asking a tough question: "Did anyone ever stop to think that maybe we are the aliens?" We're certainly asking that question now. I'm sure it's never been asked in this way, and whether we're the aliens or not, I think most of us can agree we like clean water and beaches. We like those things for a lot of different reasons and skinny dipping is one of them. I'm sure most of the time Kesha isn't as down to earth as she is here, but this is a message I can support. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OF YOUR DAILY DOSE OF SCREECNAPS Unless, of course, you're in the basement of your division and have lost 17 out of your first 27 games. Then it's time to fire your manager following a 17-1 win, which is exactly what the Boston Red Sox did on Saturday. As a Yankees fan, I hate to see that happen. Especially to the Red Sox and a noted cheater like Alex Cora. My family did not make fun of it at all in a text chain that managed to weave in the Patriots drama. We're better than that. The Red Sox are 10-17 on the season following a 16-run win on Saturday in Baltimore, which, to Cora's defense, it is harder to win games when you're not able to use electronics to steal signs. Along with Cora, several members of his coaching staff were also shown the door. "Alex Cora led this organization to one of the greatest seasons in Red Sox history in 2018, and for that, and the many years that followed, he will always have our deepest gratitude. He has had a lasting impact on this team and on this city. He has led on and off the field in so many important ways," Red Sox owner John Henry said. "These decisions are never easy, but this one is especially difficult given what Alex has meant to the Red Sox since the day he arrived. I want to thank Alex, our coaches, and their families for everything they have given to this organization. They have been part of this club in a way that goes beyond the field, and they will always have our respect and gratitude." Chad Tracy will serve as the last-place team's interim manager. Again, you really hate to see that for Boston and for Alex Cora. I didn’t look at the rest of the standings, because when you know your team isn’t at the bottom, it's way too early to do that. Let's head down to the great state of Florida where a 42-year-old woman found out that slamming the door in a deputy's face and identifying as "Donald Duck" aren’t the best way to avoid a trip to jail. I know what you're thinking and yes, this is America. You should be able to slam the door in people's faces and tell them your name is the same as a cartoon character. I agree. The problem here is that officers were responding to a report of a disturbance that Sunday and performing the previously mentioned activities could be perceived as having something to hide about why the police were called to the scene. According to the arrest report obtained by The Smoking Gun, after having the door slammed in his face by the woman, later identified as Lisa Nagel of Jensen Beach, the deputy "placed Lisa in handcuffs and continued his investigation." The report added, "It should be noted that Lisa removed one of the handcuffs during this time." Let's go ahead and update the list. Don't slam the door in the face of a deputy responding to a disturbance, don't identify as Donald Duck, which the report states she did while being detained, and don't slip out of the handcuffs. Nagel was arrested on charges of resisting without violence and providing a false name. She was booked into the county jail and released on $1,000 bond. She's scheduled to be arraigned in May and now she has a story to tell. - Sam writes White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting: Watching the pressers....

The tournament has been on the calendar for nearly a year, but for the non-golf fans out there, it's a new opportunity to bash an organization for doing literally anything involving the president. Next week's Cadillac Championship marks the first time the Tour has held an event at Trump Doral since 2016. The WGC-Cadillac Championship was hosted at Doral from 2007 to 2016, but the event was moved to Mexico City in 2017, President Trump's first year in the Oval Office. The Trump Organization purchased the property for $150 million in 2012. USA'S NEXT RYDER CUP CAPTAIN DECIDED AFTER TIGER WOODS TURNS DOWN OFFER: REPORT The PGA Tour's history at Doral and the event's announcement in July 2025 are being overshadowed by some of the folks just now learning the details, and many are not happy. As the tournament's field was finalized on Friday evening, the PGA Tour Communications X account shared the list of players who will be teeing it up in the inaugural Cadillac Championship. The post included Trump's name, which led to folks who would otherwise never see the post share some unhinged replies. PGA TOUR CEO ADDRESSES LIV GOLF'S UNCERTAIN FUTURE, PLAYERS POTENTIALLY RETURNING It's worth emphasizing that these are reactions to a list of names participating in a sporting event on a piece of land that happens to be owned by the president's organization. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Doral is widely regarded as one of the best, most difficult golf courses in the country and should be a stern test for some of the top players in the world, including Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1, who will be teeing it up in Miami. Rory McIlroy, Matt Fitzpatrick and Ludvig Aberg are among the biggest names who have opted to skip out on the signature event. They'll all have another signature opportunity the very next week, however, with the Tour heading to the Truist Championship. One could easily argue that the PGA Tour deserves criticism on the topic of signature events, but moaning about where they're held is ridiculous. Next week's Truist Championship will be the sixth signature event of the year, and with the PGA Championship taking place the following week, the overkill of the Tour's biggest events is very real.

Their responses poured in on X after a man armed with guns and knives stormed the lobby of the Washington Hilton and charged toward the ballroom, where Trump, lawmakers, journalists and foreign dignitaries were gathered, prompting Secret Service agents to open fire and guests to dive under tables. The suspect — later identified as 31-year-old Cole Allen of Torrance, California — was taken into custody, and Trump was rushed offstage unharmed. Officials said the suspect was a guest at the Washington Hilton, where the dinner was being held, and was taken into custody at the scene. He is expected to appear in court on Monday. In their reactions, world leaders emphasized both solidarity with the United States and concern over rising political violence. SECRET SERVICE AWARE AFTER IRANIAN STATE TV AIRS TRUMP THREAT FEATURING PHOTO OF BUTLER ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT French President Emmanuel Macron called the incident "unacceptable," writing that "violence has no place in a democracy" while expressing "full support" for Trump. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni echoed that sentiment, warning against political extremism. "No political hatred can find space in our democracies," she said, adding that democratic nations must not allow "fanaticism to poison the places of free debate and information." TRUMP ADMINISTRATION PROMISES JUSTICE FOR SLAIN ISRAELI COUPLE IN DC SHOOTING Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he was "relieved" Trump, the first lady and Vice President JD Vance were safe, stressing that violence "must be unequivocally condemned." Leaders across Europe struck a similar tone. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he was "shocked by the scenes," calling the attack one that must be "condemned in the strongest possible terms," particularly given it targeted a high-profile democratic event. UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said she was "appalled," adding that democracies must "stand together against political violence." US JUDGE ORDERS SUSPECT DETAINED FOR THREATENING TO KILL RICHARD GRENELL NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte framed the incident as a broader threat to democratic systems, calling it "an attack on our free and open societies" and reaffirming solidarity with the United States. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the incident as an "attempted assassination," though U.S. authorities have not publicly characterized it as such, saying he and his wife were "shocked" while praising U.S. security forces for their "swift and decisive action." He also wished a speedy recovery to a police officer who was shot in a bullet-resistant vest during the confrontation. From the Western Hemisphere, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he was "relieved" all attendees were safe but called the episode a "disturbing event," while Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum said simply, "Violence should never be the way." WORLD LEADERS SPLIT OVER MILITARY ACTION AS US-ISRAEL STRIKE IRAN IN COORDINATED OPERATION Argentine President Javier Milei issued one of the strongest statements, condemning what he described as a "new assassination attempt," and linking the attack to "violent rhetoric of the left all over the world." His characterization has not been confirmed by U.S. officials. Leaders from beyond the traditional Western alliance also weighed in. Venezuela’s acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, said her government "strongly condemns" the attack and emphasized that "violence is never an option," while European Commission Vice President Kaja Kallas highlighted the symbolism of the venue, noting that "an event meant to honour a free press should never become a scene of fear." Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese praised U.S. law enforcement and Secret Service agents for their "swift action" in containing the situation. The attack marks the latest in a string of security threats against Trump since 2024 and is likely to intensify scrutiny over security protocols at major public events involving the president. It is also likely to renew conversations about rising political violence in the U.S. Authorities say the suspect acted alone and have not yet identified a motive. FBI and local law enforcement officials descended on the suspect’s Torrance home Saturday night.

The 15th-century letter, identified by researchers at the University of Toronto's Old Books New Science Lab, was sent from the court of Louis XI, also known as the "Spider King." Louis XI, who ruled from 1461 until his death in 1483, is best known for strengthening the French government after the Hundred Years' War. ANCIENT MONASTERY FROM EARLIEST CENTURIES OF CHRISTIANITY UNEARTHED AT DESERT SITE He's also known for his political maneuvering — which involved espionage and secret alliances. The University of Toronto announced the find in a press release earlier this year. It had been sitting unrecognized in the binding of a book in the Robertson Davies Library at Massey College, an independent college affiliated with the University of Toronto, for years. The missive was identified by researchers Jessica Lockhart and Chana Algarvio during a closer examination of the fragment using advanced imaging. They brought it to Sebastian Sobecki, a professor of medieval English literature at the University of Toronto, for identification. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ Images show the artifact yellowed and frayed with age, covered in small text written in dark ink. The fragment was likely recovered during a 20th-century book restoration after passing through a family of collectors, said Chana Algarvio, assistant librarian at Massey College and a Ph.D. student at the University of Toronto. Algarvio told Fox News Digital it was donated by a man named Will Rueter, who inherited it from his great-uncle Georg Rueter. "According to Will, Georg frequented bookstores his whole life and particularly favored the bookseller stalls at the University of Amsterdam," she said. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER "Due to the fragment's small size, it probably came to Georg via his bookbinder friends or his daughter, who was trained as a bookbinder." The discovery's significance lies in its rarity, said Sobecki. "Finding parts of medieval manuscripts in book bindings is common, but finding royal letters or charters in such places is very rare," he told Fox News Digital. "Identifying these fragments relies on a combination of tools, including language, handwriting and document format." CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE STORIES He also described the letter as a lettre patente, or a formal royal decree issued by a monarch. These documents "were really important to the making of the modern French bureaucracy," he noted. And for those wondering why Louis XI was called the "Spider King," it's because he wove a vast network of political intrigue and royal control — like a web. "Louis was exceptionally adept at political intrigue and [at] using the royal administration effectively to this effect," Sobecki noted. "He also professionalized the government by appointing bureaucrats rather than hereditary aristocrats, laying the foundations of the political and legal unification of France."

Miguel Cruz was sentenced to life in prison in 2021 stemming from the killing of Juanita Zdroik, 39, in Racine County in 2000.  The case began on Feb. 7, 2000, when the mother of three was hauled to a rural highway and shot execution-style after witnessing a double homicide in Milwaukee.  Authorities launched a desperate search for her killer, but the case ultimately ran cold until a suspect – identified as Cruz – was arrested in 2017. PARTY PREP TALE FALLS APART AS HUSBAND CHARGED IN WIFE’S DECADES-OLD COLD CASE MURDER "One day I got a call while at work, and they said they caught my mother's murderer," Zach Zdroik, Juanita’s son who was 13 years old at the time of her death, told Fox News Digital.  FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X "I felt extreme relief that the man responsible for my mother's murder, and ultimately for a lifetime of pain for my sister and I, is finally where he belongs," Zdroik added.

"We've been very understanding throughout this entire process that has been years with the county and the legal system, so the fact that we saw the system itself fail us as a family was pretty disheartening." SEND US A TIP HERE Despite Cruz ultimately winning his chance at appeal, the charges against him have not been dismissed – setting the stage for a second trial or, according to Zdroik, a potential plea deal.  "Our voice doesn't matter to the county or state at this point," Zdroik told Fox News Digital. "Like, what are we doing here? A man that was proven to be there, multiple eyewitnesses saw him there and they testified against him, now that that is no good due to a corrupt history. But he's gonna get off now and live a life that my mother wasn’t able to live. I mean, does that seem fair?" LISTEN TO THE NEW 'CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO' PODCAST Zdroik added that officials have told him Cruz’s possible plea deal could result in a 10-year prison sentence, which holds the potential of Cruz being released after just six months behind bars.  "Who knows what is possible, I mean, I know this murder took place years ago," Zdroik said. "I don't know if he's done anything else in between now and then that he was arrested for, or even not arrested for, to get away with murder, so who knows." LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

"[My mom] was the one person in this world that I knew always loved me," Zdroik told Fox News Digital. "I’ve never had that love ever in my life, and I don’t think I’ll ever have it again. My mother was my world."  "We've all had to struggle," Zdroik added. "And live our lives in darkness and sadness because of this." The Racine County Sheriff's Office, Racine County District Attorney's Office and Cruz's attorney did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

New film ‘The Story of Everything’ makes the case for a creator te 2026-04-26T14:11:20.635Z Can science prove God? New film ‘The Story of Everything’ makes the case for a creator A new documentary exploring mankind's biggest questions about the origin of the universe and whether science points to a creator will open in theaters nationwide this week. In "The Story of Everything," scientists and philosophers examine major discoveries in cosmology, physics and biology from the past century and argue they support the existence of God. Lee Strobel, the bestselling author of "The Case for Christ" series and an executive producer on the film, told Fox News Digital he believes modern science increasingly points to a creator. Strobel, a former atheist and journalist who later became a Christian after investigating the evidence for Christianity, said the film is aimed at both believers and skeptics. UFO DOCUMENTARY DIRECTOR SAYS US IS AT A 'TURNING POINT' FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL EXPLORATION "We're not at war with science," he said. "Science, when done right, points toward the truth of the Christian faith. And so I hope for Christians, it'll encourage them." He also hopes the film will pique the interest of spiritual skeptics asking the same questions he once did. "I think it'll encourage them to say, 'Huh, I never thought about this kind of evidence before. This is clear, this is compelling, this is powerful, this is persuasive. Maybe I ought to pursue the answers a little further than I have in the past,'" Strobel said. "And I think when they do, they're going to find that science is a great friend to Christianity." The film features several scientists and philosophers, including Discovery Institute director of the Center for Science and Culture Dr. Stephen C. Meyer, Jay W. Richards, John Lennox and Peter Thiel. Meyer’s book, "Return of the God Hypothesis," helped inspire the documentary. ZACHARY LEVI REVEALS THE EPIC BATTLES, HUMAN FLAWS OF KING DAVID IN NEW FOX NATION SERIES "This film doesn’t ask audiences to believe without evidence — it shows them the evidence," Meyer said in a press release. "'The Story of Everything' tells nothing less than the story of the scientific rediscovery of the evidence for the existence of God."   Strobel told Fox News Digital one of the film’s most compelling arguments for the idea of an intelligent creator centers on cosmology, or how the universe came into being. "Virtually all scientists now agree the universe began to exist at some point in the past. Therefore, there must be a cause behind the universe," he said. "What kind of a cause could bring a universe into existence?" Strobel argued that a force behind the universe must be "transcendent, immaterial, timeless, powerful, intelligent, personal, creative, caring and unique" to have created the kind of world we live in, and says these qualities match the God in the Bible. Other discoveries highlighted in the documentary include DNA and information in the cell, which Strobel says point to intelligent design. NEW BOOK ON ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE FOR JESUS ROCKETS TO TOP OF BESTSELLER LIST "Inside every cell in our body is information in the form of a four-letter chemical alphabet that spells out the precise assembly instructions out of which our bodies are made. Where does information come from?" he asked. CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE "Whenever you see information, whether it's a computer code or a painting on a cave wall or a newspaper, there's always an intelligence behind it," he added. "Because nature can produce patterns, but it can't produce information." Another powerful argument the documentary explores is how the universe is fine-tuned with the conditions necessary for life to exist. "The universe is finely tuned on a razor's edge so that life can exist," Strobel said. "That's the picture that modern physics gives us of the universe. It defies the idea that it happens by mere chance. The odds are just too astronomical." "The Story of Everything" hits theaters nationwide on April 30.

During an interview with Fox News Digital, Renner spoke about his new partnership with RapidSOS and detailed his deeply personal connection to first responders after his accident three years ago left him with tissue damage, 38 broken bones and a lifetime of recovery. "I mean, I'll be in recovery for the rest of my life. I think it goes beyond acting. I almost didn't want to go back into acting because I had to focus so much on real life. Nonfiction kind of stuff. To go into fiction was a little difficult, but I'm glad I'm back doing it," Renner began. Speaking to Fox News Digital, Renner said that being able to be a megaphone for the company was an honor. JEREMY RENNER GOES SHIRTLESS, REVEALING SCARS FROM NEAR-FATAL SNOWPLOW ACCIDENT: ‘I LOOK GREAT!' RapidSOS operates the world’s largest intelligent safety network, empowering 911 and first responders with critical data from mobile phones, connected devices, vehicles, and sensors, in real-time as emergencies unfold.  RapidSOS and Renner are connected by a deeply personal experience and a shared mission to support first responders.  In January 2023, Renner was critically injured in a snowcat accident at his Nevada property. Local 911 dispatchers and first responders navigated challenging terrain and weather conditions to reach him and ultimately save his life. That experience left a lasting impression. Two years later, many of the same dispatch centers and agencies that responded to Renner’s emergency began implementing RapidSOS technology.  As Renner learned more about how modern emergency response works, and how technology and data can remove uncertainty for responders in critical moments, he chose to become a partner and investor in the company.   "Otherwise, I'm just going to talk about it with 911 operators and my friends in the fire department and ERs and that type of thing," he said. "But now it could be done in a really quite, even a global way really, because the biggest thing we all need in emergencies is information. And the lack of information is when the time starts ticking on us. RapidSOS became a wonderful platform for me to be able to talk about something I'm very passionate about." Renner also appears in a short documentary called "Behind The Emergency," that focuses on the world of emergency response. Renner is not a traditional celebrity spokesperson. He is an active partner and investor and is helping elevate a national conversation about how technology can better support the people who protect communities every day. The "Mayor of Kingstown" star explained that even before his accident, he was very supportive of first responders. However, "not dying" in his near-fatal snow plow accident made him want to support them even more. COUNTRY SINGER J.D.

"I've studied assassinations, and I must tell you, the most impactful people, the people that do the most" are the targets, Trump said in a Saturday night White House press briefing after an alleged would-be assassin was stopped by U.S. Secret Service at the Washington Hilton, the notorious site of former President Ronald Reagan's shooting in 1981. "You take a look at the people, Abraham Lincoln, I mean, you go through the people that have gone through this where they got them, but the people that do the most, the people that make the biggest impact, they're the ones that they go after. "They don't go after the ones that don't do much because they like it that way." TRUMP STANDS 'STRONGER THAN EVER' ONE YEAR AFTER SURVIVING PENNSYLVANIA ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT, STAFFERS SAY In Trump's case, three thwarted assassinations are part of his presidential lore, facing a string of shootings, plots and major security breaches unlike anything in history. Trump cautiously admitted, "I hate to say I'm honored by that," but noted that "the big names" and the big movers are the targets. Saturday night’s chaos at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner in Washington adding a new entry to a list already defined by gunfire in Butler, Pa. (July 13, 2024), an armed suspect at his Florida golf club (Sept. 15, 2024) and the Secret Service discovery of a sniper's nest in eyeshot of where Air Force One lands at Palm Beach International in Florida. SCRUTINY INTENSIFIES OVER SECURITY LAPSES SURROUNDING THE CHARLIE KIRK SHOOTING Trump hailed the unity at the WHCA dinner in a room of some of his fiercest critics in the media, urging Americans to unify in divided political times. COREY COMPERATORE'S WIDOW SHEDS NEW LIGHT ON FINAL MOMENTS WITH HER HUSBAND "In light of this evening's events, I asked that all Americans recommit with their hearts and resolving our differences peacefully," Trump said. "We have to resolve our differences." "I will say you had Republicans, Democrats, Independents, conservatives, liberals and progressives -- those words are interchangeable, perhaps, but maybe they're not -- but yet everybody in that room, big crowd, record setting crowd. There was a record setting group of people, and there was a tremendous amount of love and coming together," Trump continued. TRUMP SAYS HE WON NEW FANS AFTER ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT: 'SOMETHING HAPPENED WHEN I GOT SHOT' "I watched, and I was very, very impressed by that." Trump and first lady Melania Trump were rushed from the Washington Hilton after shots were fired outside the ballroom, where the president had been scheduled to speak. Authorities said one officer was shot but protected by a ballistic vest, and the suspect, Cole Tomas Allen of California, was taken into custody before breaching the room. HAWLEY URGES DHS SECRETARY NOEM TO DECLASSIFY ALL TRUMP BUTLER RALLY ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT DOCUMENTS The three men at the center of the most serious known threats are now Thomas Matthew Crooks (Butler suspect, deceased), Ryan Wesley Routh (Palm Beach suspect, sentenced to life) and now Allen (arrested and charged Saturday night). Crooks, 20, opened fire at the July 13, 2024, campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The FBI identified Crooks as the shooter after he hit Trump in the right ear and killed rallygoer Corey Comperatore before being shot dead by a Secret Service countersniper. Routh, 59, received a life sentence for his attempt at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach in September 2024. Prosecutors said Secret Service agents spotted him with a rifle near the course while Trump was playing, prompting an agent to open fire before Routh could get a shot off. TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT AFTERMATH, REACTIONS FROM INNER CIRCLE REVEALED IN NEW BOOK Allen, identified in Saturday night’s Washington incident, is the newest name on that list. Authorities have announced firearms and assault-related charges. Law enforcement at a Saturday night news conference said Allen was armed with multiple weapons and allegedly fired during a rush at a security perimeter near the dinner, striking a Secret Service agent in his bullet-proof vest before being "tackled" to the ground without taking a bullet from the Secret Service. "One officer was shot, but saved by the fact that he was wearing a obviously a very good bulletproof vest," Trump told reporters, many still in their tuxedos, having left the canceled WHCA dinner, too. "He was shot from very close distance with a very powerful gun, and the vest did the job. I just spoke to the officer and he's doing great. He's great shape. He's very high spirits, and we told him we love him and respect him." RYAN ROUTH TRIAL CONTINUES AFTER AGENT TESTIFIES SUSPECT AIMED RIFLE AT HIM ON TRUMP’S GOLF COURSE Taken together, the three cases underscore how Trump’s security profile has changed from unusually fraught to historically extraordinary. One attempt drew blood on a campaign stage, another ended in a life sentence after a rifle ambush at a golf course, and the latest forced a presidential evacuation from one of Washington’s highest-profile public events. US JUDGE ORDERS SUSPECT DETAINED FOR THREATENING TO KILL RICHARD GRENELL Trump signaled Saturday night that he does not plan to retreat from public appearances despite the repeated threats. "The response time was really incredible. and we're going to reschedule," Trump said. "We're going to do it again." "We're not going to let anybody take over our society," he added. "We're not going to cancel things out because we can't do that. We wanted to stay tonight." TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT: SECRET SERVICE ACTING DIRECTOR REVEALS 'NUMEROUS CHANGES' AGENCY HAS IMPLEMENTED Other thwarted plots and security scares Beyond the three highest-profile cases, Trump has faced a broader pattern of violent threats and close calls dating back to his first campaign. TRUMP RESPONDS TO CRITICS WITH COUNTERPUNCHES ACROSS POLITICS AND ONGOING CULTURE WARS In June 2016, Michael Steven Sandford, a British national, allegedly tried to grab a police officer’s gun at a Trump rally in Las Vegas and later told investigators he intended to kill Trump, according to court records and contemporaneous reporting. In March 2016, Thomas Dimassimo rushed the stage at a Dayton, Ohio, rally before Secret Service agents tackled him. And in November 2016, Trump was briefly rushed offstage in Reno, Nevada, after someone in the crowd shouted "gun," though authorities later said the man detained was unarmed. Public reporting has also documented later threats not carried out at Trump’s immediate location, including a 2020 ricin letter case; a 2024 murder-for-hire plot tied to Iran; a 2017 North Dakota incident in which a man stole a forklift and aimed it toward the presidential motorcade; and a February 2026 confrontation at Mar-a-Lago in which Secret Service fatally shot a 21-year-old who was armed with a shotgun and gas canister while Trump was in Washington.

Now, at 61, he is using AI to help predict what kind of heart issues could arise. Beuerlein told Fox News Digital in a recent interview that as he has gotten older, he has thought about his mortality more. "As you get a little older, you start thinking about your mortality a little bit more," Beuerlein told Fox News Digital in an interview with Heartflow. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM He enrolled in Heartflow’s Gamefilm registry, as the company is using revolutionary technology to help determine if someone is at risk of cardiovascular disease. "I looked into it, did my research, and realized that what Heartflow had going as a company and their technology, which was the first of its kind, and AI-powered, completely revolutionary type of technology that went into this overall offering for detecting heart disease early-stage," Beuerlein said. The Pro Bowl quarterback said his dad battled cardiovascular disease for 30 years, and with that in mind, he wanted to get checked himself. "My dad kind of battled that for the last 30 years of his life. And so, of course, I was curious as to how I matched up and went through the whole process. It was painless, non-invasive, very efficient, a very easy process to go through. And then the detail when I got through it and came back, all the information that came back was so thorough and, for me, fortunately, it was very positive," Beuerlein said. Beuerlein was not just impressed with how simple it was to get checked, but also how the power of the AI technology made the results so comprehensible. "It's amazing how simple the procedure is to go through and yet with the technology that they have, a lot of it again powered by AI, you actually sit down with a doctor after you've gone through the process and the results come in, and you're literally looking at a computer," Beuerlein said.

"You're seeing a 3D image of your heart, and they can rotate it around where you can see it from the front, from the rear." The results allow the doctors and the patient to see into all the heart’s chambers. There is a color scale that identifies the areas where plaque starts to develop. The hard plaque is cause for immediate concern, but the buildup of soft plaque is an issue as well. The tests allow the patient to get a baseline of their current condition and give the ability for people to be proactive with their heart health instead of reactive. "Fifty percent of first-time heart attack or significant heart episode events happen completely by surprise. People had no way of knowing that this was going to happen, that they had these issues. And that's what motivated Heartflow to kind of try to address it and come up with this revolutionary technology," Beuerlein said. "A lot of times this is progressing in people and there's no signs, there's no symptoms. They have no way to really know that they're at risk." More information on Heartflow’s technology can be found on its website, in addition to going to any doctor or healthcare center that has a partnership with the company. Beuerlein played in the NFL for 14 seasons. He played for the then-Los Angeles Raiders, Dallas Cowboys, Arizona Cardinals, Jacksonville Jaguars, Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos. He was a backup quarterback when the Cowboys won the Super Bowl in 1992. He made the Pro Bowl with the Panthers in 1999. In 147 games (102 starts), he completed 56.9% of passes for 24,046 yards, with 147 touchdowns and 112 interceptions.

INDIANA JUDGE SHOOTING LEAVES ‘LONG LIST’ OF POTENTIAL SUSPECTS DAYS INTO MANHUNT: DEFENSE ATTORNEY The incident comes just a week after police identified Shamar Elkins as the suspect in a domestic violence rampage that left eight children dead and two women shot in Louisiana last week. Shreveport Police Department Corporal Christopher Bordelon released Elkins’ identity while speaking with reporters near the crime scene Sunday evening, calling the mass shooting a "heinous crime." Along with the children, Elkins is accused of shooting the mother of his children, who is expected to survive, as well as another woman who is suffering from life-threatening injuries. A teenage victim also sustained injuries considered non-life-threatening. According to investigators, the suspect first shot a woman on Harrison Street before traveling to a residence on West 79th Street, where the murders happened. After fleeing, he allegedly carjacked a man at gunpoint near Linwood Avenue and West 79th Street before officers located the vehicle and initiated a pursuit. The chase continued into Bossier Parish, where officers confronted the suspect and opened fire, killing him at the scene. Authorities said no officers were injured. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ee0ee5059ccda1fcc2bc3f Patients taking weight-loss drugs often make 5 critical mistakes, doctor warns te 2026-04-26T13:11:01.041Z Patients taking weight-loss drugs often make 5 critical mistakes, doctor warns GLP-1 drugs (glucagon-like peptide-1s) have exploded in popularity in recent years – initially as a way to control diabetes and then as tools for weight loss. Growing research suggests that these drugs – which include semaglutide and tirzepatide – potentially have benefits beyond weight loss, with stronger evidence for cardiovascular and kidney health. Even so, experts caution that these medications are not foolproof — and using them the wrong way can undermine results or even create new health problems. OZEMPIC’S HEALTH BENEFITS KEEP GROWING, BUT ARE THE RISKS WORTH IT? Dr. Meena T. Malhotra, MD, a functional medicine doctor and weight-loss specialist in a suburb of Chicago, confirmed that she has seen myriad health improvements in patients taking GLP-1s – particularly those with diabetes who were "very sick." "We observed that this sick population was doing better than the diabetics who were on other diabetes medicines," she shared with Fox News Digital, noting that she observed improvements in brain health, memory, heart health, circulation, and liver and kidney function. "We realized there was more to the drug than just sugar control and weight loss." Malhotra said she believes many people can safely microdose GLP-1s, but she cautions against the following common mistakes. Anyone considering GLP-1s should first focus on adopting a healthy lifestyle, Malhotra emphasized – a view widely shared by endocrinologists and obesity medicine specialists. GLP-1 medications work by slowing gastric emptying, reducing appetite and improving insulin signaling. People with preexisting GI symptoms may be more prone to discomfort or intolerance, though responses vary and formal evidence is limited. JELLY ROLL'S WIFE SAYS WEIGHT-LOSS DRUG SENT HER INTO ‘WORST SUICIDAL DEPRESSION’ Before beginning the medication, Malhotra recommends improving basic nutritional habits, such as increasing intake of whole, minimally processed foods, and prioritizing protein and fiber to support satiety and gut health. Even small improvements can lead to early weight loss, reduced fluid retention and improvements in insulin sensitivity, doctors agree.  Once GLP-1 medications are started, these lifestyle modifications may reduce the necessary dose amount, result in fewer side effects and help preserve lean muscle mass. The growing trend of obtaining GLP-1 medications online without proper medical oversight can pose serious health risks, Malhotra warned. "Nobody examines the patient – they just fill out a form and the medicine shows up at their door," she said. WEIGHT-LOSS DOCTOR SHARES HOW GLP-1S COULD REWIRE BODY AGAINST DISEASE Patients should see a medical provider for a thorough exam and bloodwork before starting the drugs, the doctor emphasized. "If something is off, it needs to be addressed," she said. "Whether it’s a thyroid issue, a heart condition or another factor slowing your metabolism, any underlying problems should be fixed first." During treatment, Malhotra recommends that her patients come in once a month to make sure they are losing fat and not lean muscle mass. "That's very important, because if you lose lean mass, your body is not getting healthier," she said. This ongoing monitoring also helps to ensure that the patient is following a balanced diet, getting adequate protein and adhering to strength training. "There's more to it than just giving yourself a shot," Malhotra added. One of the biggest mistakes people make when taking GLP-1s is cutting calories but not getting sufficient protein, according to Malhotra. "If you are decreasing the calories but not fixing the nutritional foundation, you will lose lean mass," the doctor said. "But if you're eating a balanced diet with adequate protein and doing strength training with a smaller dose of the drug, you will get better results and your health will improve." DOCTOR REVEALS SECRETS TO LASTING WEIGHT LOSS WITHOUT COUNTING CALORIES Most people need about 0.5 to 0.8 grams of protein per pound of body weight each day to maintain muscle and support overall health, according to medical experts. For a 200-pound person, that would equate to roughly 100 to 160 grams of protein daily. CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES Higher amounts may be needed for those who are physically active or trying to build strength. "The amount of protein you need will depend on the frequency and intensity of your workouts," Malhotra said.  Another common mistake is rushing the process and increasing GLP-1 doses too quickly in hopes of faster results, according to the doctor. "You may start to see results within the first week or month, but some people do need a higher dose over time," she said. "The key is to be patient and increase it gradually — typically month by month." If a patient doesn’t see results after the first injection, that doesn’t mean the dose should be doubled right away, according to Malhotra.  "That’s a recipe for problems, including side effects like pancreatitis," she said. "Your body needs time to adjust and adapt." "You can go up if you hit a plateau or if it's not helping, but we usually wait a month to increase the dose." While many expect "instant gratification," health is about balance, Malhotra added. "It won't take 20 years, but give it two months, I think that's fair." A general rule of thumb, according to the doctor, is "don't start too soon, don't stop too soon. GLP-1 side effects can often be prevented by building a strong foundation of health and keeping everything in balance, according to Malhotra.  "That said, some people will still have side effects, and there are ways to manage them," she said. The doctor recommends eating smaller, more frequent meals instead of large portions — ideally about the size of your fist.  It’s also important to keep fat intake low, she advised – GLP-1 medications already slow stomach emptying and fat can slow it even further, which may worsen nausea. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER For nausea and constipation, simple strategies can go a long way, according to the doctor. Some patients find ginger helpful for nausea, she said, though it is not a substitute for medical guidance. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ Incorporating more liquids, such as shakes, soups and broths, can be easier on the stomach, she suggested. Prunes and other fiber-rich foods can help support digestion and prevent constipation. "These little lifestyle hacks can help a lot with managing the side effects, instead of stopping and then finding that your weight is yo-yoing," Malhotra said.

Her son Hersh Goldberg-Polin — an American-Israeli citizen — was kidnapped by Hamas during the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks while attending the Nova music festival in southern Israel. He was executed about a year later alongside five other hostages, with his remains recovered in Rafah.  FROM 700 MURDERED RELATIVES TO 3 SURVIVORS: HOLOCAUST DESCENDANT LEADS ISRAELI FORCES AFTER OCT 7 ATTACKS Rachel Goldberg-Polin became a hostage advocate, wearing a piece of tape counting the days since her son was taken hostage and campaigning across the world for his release. In one video, she called out to her son from the Israeli side of the border with Gaza, just days before the IDF discovered his body.  About two years later, her book is a way of unpacking her grief, she told Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum Wednesday on "The Story." FREED HOSTAGE ROM BRASLAVSKI DETAILS ABUSE, STARVATION DURING 738 DAYS IN GAZA CAPTIVITY "My soul was buckling from the suffering of having this tragedy happen," she said. "I couldn’t shoulder the weight."  This book, she said, consists of "packages of pain."  "There are days when I break completely," she wrote in the book. "I have cried for an entire day straight."  HAMAS KIDNAPPED US TOGETHER, HELD US APART FOR OVER A YEAR — AND NOW WE’RE STARTING OVER She described the feeling as walking along the street with her husband, Jon Polin, and being hit by a massive truck that breaks all her bones.  "It’s very descriptive and very poignant, Rachel," MacCallum said.  "To be honest, I’m not unique… all of us suffer in our lives at some point with loss and grief and mourning and pain and suffering — that is part of the human enterprise, as well as blessings and beauty and joy," Rachel Goldberg-Polin said. "And how we integrate that is going to depend on how much we accept that this is the construct of what happens here."  MacCallum asked whether she found any solace in the stories that the hostages who survived brought back about her son.  Rachel Goldberg-Polin said some of them told her that her son had shared with them a quote Viktor Frankl, author of the Holocaust memoir "Man’s Search for Meaning," used as a mantra during his time in concentration camps, drawing on philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche: "When you have a why, when you have a purpose, when you have a goal, you can bear almost any how, you can bare almost any situation."  Rachel Goldberg-Polin said the other hostages took that saying and incorporated it into their lives during captivity.  "We now know that we can bear this why, this how, that we have been dealt. This losing of Hersh, our only son, we can bear it," she said. "Our purpose is to figure out, how do we make a difference in this life that is so messy, with so many opportunities."

Natrona County District Judge Dan Forgey on Friday granted temporary injunctive relief against the Human Heartbeat Act while the case plays out in court. The plaintiffs "made a sufficient showing of irreparable injury," Forgey wrote, adding that "the state defendants did not persuasively argue otherwise." He also said the plaintiffs had made "a sufficient showing of probable success" under Article 1, Section 38 of the Wyoming Constitution, which protects individuals’ rights to make their own healthcare decisions. VERMONT ACCUSED IN LAWSUIT OF TRACKING PREGNANT WOMEN CONSIDERED UNSUITABLE TO BE MOTHERS The ruling is the latest turn in Wyoming’s long-running abortion fight and comes just months after the Wyoming Supreme Court struck down two earlier abortion restrictions, finding they violated the state constitution’s healthcare autonomy protections. That January decision reshaped the legal landscape in Wyoming and prompted lawmakers to try again with a narrower ban tied to the detection of fetal cardiac activity. The law, passed during the Legislature’s 2026 session and signed by Republican Gov. Mark Gordon on March 9, took effect in March. It bars abortion beyond roughly the sixth week of pregnancy, once a fetal heartbeat is detected. The measure includes exceptions for medical emergencies that threaten a woman’s life or health, but not for pregnancies caused by rape or incest. "Where the act does not align to my pro-life stance is in the concern for specific vulnerable populations," Gordon wrote in a letter to lawmakers Monday. HOUSTON-AREA MIDWIFE ARRESTED FOR PROVIDING ILLEGAL ABORTIONS IN FIRST CRIMINAL CASE UNDER STATE BAN: TEXAS AG It echoes his reservations and expected legal fight when signing the law in March. "I resoundingly share the determination to defend the lives of unborn children and support the intentions behind the Human Heartbeat Act," he wrote in a statement. "Regrettably, this Act represents another well-intentioned but likely fragile legal effort with significant risk of ending in the courts rather than in lasting, durable policy. Rather than finding a remedy that saves the unborn, I fear we have only added another chapter to the sad saga of repeatedly trying to force a specific solution." Gordon's signing made Wyoming the fifth state to bar most abortions at that stage of pregnancy, along with Florida, Georgia, Iowa and South Carolina. Thirteen other states bar abortion at all stages of pregnancy, with some exceptions. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

"Mr. Irrelevant" has long been overlooked, but Brock Purdy reshaped the narrative by becoming a starting quarterback and guiding the San Francisco 49ers to a Super Bowl appearance. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM On Saturday, the Broncos used the 257th pick on former Buffalo linebacker Red Murdock, who recorded 142 tackles — the second-most in the nation — along with 13.5 tackles for loss.

The Pittsburgh Steelers selected the wide receiver with the No. 487 pick during an era when the draft extended beyond today’s seven rounds. Paul Salata, a former NFL player credited with coining the "Mr. Irrelevant" nickname, emphasized the meaning behind the tradition.

Pavia finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting, losing to Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza – who would go on to be the No. 1 pick in the draft. Pavia was also in the draft pool but teams’ failure to select him during the three-day event triggered some unfortunate history. The ex-Vandy star was the first Heisman Trophy finalist to not get drafted since 2014. The last person to fall into the category was former Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch, who was a Heisman Trophy finalist in 2013, finishing third in the voting. He didn’t get selected. Draft reports indicated that there were concerns around Pavia’s height more than his heart. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Pavia is listed at 5-foot-10. The average height for an NFL quarterback is 6-foot-2, though there have been successful quarterbacks smaller than 6-foot in the past. Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray was selected No. 1 overall in 2019 by the Arizona Cardinals. He’s 5-foot-10. Pavia dismissed height concerns back in January during the Senior Bowl. "Yeah, my size has been doubted my whole life," he said at the time, via AL.com. "I feel like the only thing the NFL cares about is can you win, and I view myself as a winner. I’ve been fortunate with all these great teams that I’ve had — we’ve never had a losing season. So that’s something to look forward to, I hope, for the rest of my career, that’s how it’s going to be.

In a preprint study published in March on bioRxiv, a group of international researchers analyzed DNA traces from 1978 samples taken from the relic. Scientists identified plant traces by sequencing microscopic DNA fragments found in dust and fibers collected from the Shroud, rather than discovering visible food remains. 2,000-YEAR-OLD ROMAN RECIPES BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE — HERE'S WHAT THEY ACTUALLY TASTE LIKE They found a host of different species — with carrot and bread wheat the most dominant. Carrot (Daucus carota) was the most prominent plant DNA signal, accounting for about 30.9% of identified plant sequences — and the study said the DNA was more similar to cultivated carrot varieties. About 11.6% of identified plant sequences were assigned to Triticum aestivum, or bread wheat. "Other cereals found encompassed durum wheat (Triticum durum), einkorn wheat (Triticum monococcum), maize (Zea mays) and rye (Secale cereale)," the study noted. "Horticultural crops included peppers, tomatoes and potatoes (Solanaceae), as well as melons or cucumbers (Cucurbitaceae)." TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ The study also noted a "strong presence of peanuts (Arachis spp.) ... weak traces of perennial ryegrass, bluegrass, fescue, oats and clovers were observed." Some of the species were New World crops, including tomatoes, maize and peanuts, pointing to likely contamination after 1492. The study identified fruit tree DNA including "banana, almond, walnut and sweet orange" — with fainter signals from fig, pistachio, apple, pear, hazelnut and grapevine. Researchers found that the shroud's age "cannot be determined through metagenomics [genetic profiling] because this methodology is unable to provide any robust evidence supporting either a medieval origin or a history dating back two millennia." CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER "Nevertheless, our findings constitute a novel and significant contribution to the field, thoroughly elucidating the biological traces left by centuries of social, cultural and ecological engagement," the study's authors wrote. "Collectively, our findings illuminate important aspects of the Shroud's preservation history." The researchers declined to provide comment to Fox News Digital, noting that the final results have not been published yet. The shroud, kept in Turin, Italy, since 1578, has a documented history beginning in the mid-14th century. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE STORIES The relic has been the subject of intense scrutiny over the centuries; radiocarbon dating conducted in 1988 dated the cloth to between 1260 and 1390 A.D. In 2024, Italy's Institute of Crystallography said its analysis using wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) produced results consistent with the Shroud of Turin being a roughly 2,000-year-old relic, aligning with Christian tradition. The study comes amid a string of ancient food-related discoveries over the past year. In December, Pompeii archaeologists unearthed preserved food remains in ancient Pompeii that reveal what enslaved people ate before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, including beans and fruit. In 2025, researchers in southern Oregon found starch granules that reveal how Native Americans processed food thousands of years ago.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ee00fd059ccda1fcc2ba74 Bible verse leads to trial in Europe. Growing crackdown threatens our US-UK values te 2026-04-26T12:11:41.420Z Bible verse leads to trial in Europe. Growing crackdown threatens our US-UK values A 77-year-old retired pastor stands outside a hospital in Northern Ireland and gives a short message based on a Bible verse that many learned as children: "For God so loved the world…" For that, Clive Johnston is now on trial. His alleged offense is not harassment, obstruction or intimidation. It is preaching a sermon —  including the words of John 3:16 — within a legally defined "buffer zone" near a hospital where abortions take place. Prosecutors argue that he may have "influenced" those accessing such services, thus breaching the law. That word — "influence" — is doing extraordinary work. WALKING ACROSS AMERICA SHOWED ME WHY FAITH AND FREE THOUGHT CAN STILL WIN Johnston did not speak about abortion. He did not approach anyone. The case rests on the idea that passers-by might have inferred his beliefs about abortion from his Christian message that had nothing to do with abortion, and that this alone could constitute unlawful "influence." If that standard holds, it not only regulates conduct, it regulates belief, through a kind of guilt-by-association. Put simply: the Bible is on trial. For American readers, this may sound implausible. The United States has long treated religious expression as a core liberty, protected even — and especially — when it is controversial. But in parts of the United Kingdom and across Europe, a different approach is taking hold. STATE DEPT. SAYS IT IS MONITORING CASE OF UK WOMAN FACING CHARGES FOR HOLDING SIGN IN ABORTION ZONE In Finland, Päivi Räsänen, a former interior minister, has recently been convicted of "hate speech" over a pamphlet she wrote in 2004 outlining her church’s teaching on marriage and sexuality. In England, individuals have been convicted for silently praying on certain streets. These are not isolated incidents. They reflect a broader shift: a growing willingness to treat public expressions of Christian belief not as contributions to democratic debate, but as potential harms to be managed. If quoting the Bible can be criminalised in case it offends, then what is unfolding is not simply a domestic legal dispute. It is a test of the values that underpin one of the world’s closest alliances. FEDERAL COURT UPHOLDS TEXAS LAW REQUIRING TEN COMMANDMENTS IN PUBLIC CLASSROOMS The United States and the United Kingdom have long described their bond as a "special relationship," rooted in shared history, shared language and, crucially, shared commitments to fundamental freedoms — including free speech and religious liberty. That assumption is now under strain. Speaking ahead of his trial, the U.S. State Department warned this week that cases like that of Clive Johnston represent an "egregious violation" of fundamental rights and "a concerning departure from the shared values that ought to underpin U.S.-U.K. relations." Alliances depend on more than mutual interests. They depend on a baseline agreement about the rights of citizens — what can be said, what can be believed, and whether the state exists to protect those freedoms. When that baseline shifts, so too does the relationship. The irony is that this moment of legal restriction comes just as faith is resurging across the West. In both the United States and Europe, members of Generation Z are rediscovering Christianity in unexpected numbers. Churches report growing youth attendance. Bible sales are rising. A generation once assumed to be post-religious is beginning to take belief seriously again. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION But while the resurgence is shared, the response is not. The United States has, for now, resisted Europe’s censorial trajectory. Its constitutional tradition reflects a confidence that citizens can encounter competing ideas — even uncomfortable ones — without the state policing their expression. But that confidence is not guaranteed. The value of freedom of expression needs perpetually reinforced to a population which may feel too easily drawn to the false compassion of "safe spaces" and "hate speech bans". Clive Johnston’s case across the Atlantic may seem small: a single man, a single sermon, a single Bible verse. But it raises a question with transatlantic consequences. If preaching the Bible in ‘the wrong place’ can be treated as a form of unlawful influence by one of America’s closest allies, what does that say about the durability of the freedoms they claim to share? The special relationship has long been described in near-sacred terms. But it rests, ultimately, on shared values. It may not be quite accurate to say it is living on a prayer. In this case, it may be living on something more fragile: whether a man is free to speak a Bible verse in public.

For starters, he will have to actually defend the redistricting resolution as constitutional when prompted. In a recent interview with CNN, even the host of the friendly network expressed frustration that Jones could not seem to get himself to actually defend the dubious language of the ballot measure. Many of us have expressed skepticism over the process and language of the resolution that passed this week, effectively wiping out all but one GOP district in the purple state. Virginia was considered the gold standard among states rejecting gerrymandering with fairly divided districts in a state that is divided right down the middle. It then elected Governor Abigail Spanberger, who assured voters that she was adamantly against gerrymandering and then immediately called for the most radical gerrymandered map in the nation after she was elected. The candidate who declared that "opposing gerrymandering should be a bipartisan priority" rushed a resolution to the voters that would have made Eldridge Gerry himself blush. ERIC HOLDER ACCUSES GOP OF 'STEALING SEATS' WHILE DEFENDING 'FAIR' DEMOCRATIC REDISTRICTING PUSH That map passed by slim margin as Democrats moved to wipe out the representation of half of their neighbors, leaving Republicans with just one of eleven districts. The problem is that the Democrats were too clever by half in crafting a campaign that even the Washington Post declared as shockingly dishonest and misleading for voters. The deceit began with the language of the resolution itself. While Virginia law requires clarity in such resolutions, the language was obtuse and vague, declaring that it would "temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections." There was nothing "temporary" about the plan, which would continue for years. More importantly, it is unclear what is meant by "restore fairness" in a map that would wipe out virtually every GOP district. In addition, the process used to rush the resolution to the ballot was abridged and unprecedented. This mess was too much for Tazewell Circuit Judge Jack Hurley who enjoined the map approved by voters. It is now awaiting an oral argument before the Virginia Supreme Court next week. Jones was, of course, aware of all of this when he received the most predictable question from CNN host Brianna Keilar who quoted the misleading elements cited by Judge Hurley and asked "does he have a point that it’s misleading?" Jones went into an account of how the "yes side prevailed" and called Hurley "an activist judge." Keilar reasonably followed up, noting "I know that you’re calling him an activist judge, but he is citing the Virginia Constitution and legal experts that we’ve spoken to say what he’s saying is going to create some pretty big challenges for you in court that you will have to overcome." She then repeated the question. SOROS-LINKED DARK MONEY NETWORK FUELS VIRGINIA REDISTRICTING PUSH BACKED BY NATIONAL DEMOCRATS Again, Jones had that deer in the headlights look and went into a babbling spin: "Well, look, I’m really proud of Virginia. I believe the right to vote is sacred, not just as Virginians, but as Americans. This is the birthplace of democracy." This exchange went up until, to her great credit, Keilar ended the interview with "I don’t hear you answering the substance of my question." The problem is that the campaign and the resolution, as the Washington Post noted, is flagrantly misleading and dishonest. Jones relies on the majority on the Supreme Court to shrug away the problems. Democrats are also hoping that justices who have to face the voters themselves are unlikely to negate a popular vote. Indeed, it does not appear that such a vote has ever been overturned in the state. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION If the Court stands with the law and throws out the vote, Democrats could face the ultimate disaster. They just spent a fortune to narrowly pass the resolution. In so doing, they alienated half of the state, who took it rather personally that Democrats were trying to wipe out virtually all of their representation in the state after recently promising never to engage in such gerrymandering. They are not likely to forget this effort and virtually every Democrat in the state fought to pass this resolution. Some of these Democrats have to rely on Republican votes in the purple state to secure statewide office. They are unlikely to force this effort into some memory hole for the victims of the gerrymandering, particularly if the courts also declare that they were acting unlawfully. Finally, the use of unlawful means to gerrymander a state only further destroys the credibility of the Democratic mantra of being defenders of the Constitution and democracy. The optics are only going to be magnified by an attorney general who was elected by Democratic voters after threatening to kill political opponents and their children. There was no vagueness in Jones’ prior approach to political opponents. His election was viewed as the ultimate triumph of political rage by the very same voters who just effectively negated the representation of half of the state. In the end, it will be up to the Virginia Supreme Court to "to restore fairness in the upcoming elections." There is no question that this resolution shredded state law and tradition. The question is whether the justices themselves have the courage to demand more from the Commonwealth of Virginia.

From being put in compromising and "provocative" positions as a minor on set to quickly becoming a product of a "twisted male gaze" at such a young age, the California native faced a wave of challenges and is now gearing up to expose the pitfalls of young stardom. In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, the former child actress, who stars in the upcoming episode of Investigation Discovery's "Hollywood Demons", opens up about her troubling past of becoming a man-made "product" as a kid and explained how she managed to escape social norms and make waves as an adult film star. "I can't speak to how Hollywood is today because it's such a different animal than it was back when I was getting into it," said Ward, 49. "Back then, I think they looked at these young actors as like property coming in. And I really believe the studios, they wanted to mold and form these young actors into what they wanted them to be, what they needed them to be for the company and for the audience, to what they felt would identify with." ‘BOY MEETS WORLD’ STAR MAITLAND WARD CLAIMS DANIELLE FISHEL CREATED ‘TOXIC’ ENVIRONMENT IN HEATED EXCHANGE "I think it was such a factory kind of environment. Like you were just a product being sold, and you knew that yourself," she continued. "I mean, I didn't think anything was wrong at the time with anything that was going on really. I mean it felt ill at ease in my own body and all my feelings and stuff, but I thought that was just me being stupid. I have to be professional. I have to be part of that Hollywood machine. And that's really what it was." For Ward, telling her story in "Hollywood Demons" was an opportunity to release baggage that has been with her all these years. FORMER DISNEY STAR CLAIMS PORN CAREER HAS PEOPLE TREATING HER WITH 'MORE RESPECT' "It was very therapeutic to tell the story at the age that I am now about my 16-year-old self, 17, 20, whatever, that my young self coming up in a business that thought of her as a product and was very dismissive of the product a lot of the time. They just wanted it for what they wanted it for. And then cast it aside when they didn't. And that happened to many, many young actors." "I think this show really examines that on a lot of fronts in young Hollywood, especially in that world of the 90s and the early 2000s, where women were just put into this box where you had to be this young woman that was either, a virgin and a slut all at once," she continued. "And I hate to use those terms exactly, but that's what it was." CHRISTINA RICCI WILL NEVER BE 'GIRL NEXT DOOR,' SAYS HAPPY PEOPLE DON’T DO ANYTHING INTERESTING "It was like the Britney Spears thing. She had to go on TV and swear up and down she was a virgin, but she was being used provocatively for her body and her sexual image, and it was all for this like twisted male gaze that Hollywood was just inflicting on everybody. They were telling us things, like this is what the audience wants, this is how they want you to be, this is how they want women to be. But it really wasn't true because if you go back or you talk to people now, they were like, 'Oh, I love this stuff about you, or I love stuff about the show.' And it's so different from what we were told the audience was craving." Looking back at her time on "Boy Meets World," Ward, who was 21 when she joined the cast in the later seasons, said it's difficult to look back at all the "provocative, weird situations" she was put in. In a 2022 interview with Complex, Ward detailed being "sexualized" while starring on the Disney show.  WATCH: Former Disney star Maitland Ward says young actors were treated like a 'product' in Hollywood factory "I didn’t realize the food fight was such a fetish kind of thing, like, food and feet and all this stuff going on. I didn’t realize all of the innuendos that were made in Rachel’s direction and I think the writers, and Michael especially, really enjoyed playing with that, but then it could not be on my terms," Ward said, referencing co-creator Michael Jacobs. Ward said she didn't think much of it at the time.  "We all just thought it was normal and nobody thought anything of it," Ward told Fox News Digital. "And I'm sure like a younger audience, like if I was a kid watching that and I didn't think anything of that. But when you examine it, adults were creating this space and making this kind of product. It's really troubling just seeing how other people have been through similar situations." CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER Ward said that because it was taboo to discuss any feelings of doubt at the time, she finds it freeing to be able to air out her grievances and connect with others who were put in similar situations. "It's kind of freeing to say, 'Oh, wait, you felt that way too? And you went through a similar situation.' There's so much of the story that we don't know. We just see like what Hollywood shows us. But ["Hollywood Demons"] really peels back that barrier that we have. We can see everything that's going on, and it's really important that we do examine this, especially for future generations, the younger generation coming through." LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?

"I think I just feel really free after all of it, just that I've just gotten so much of myself out there," said Ward, who published her memoir, "Rated X: How Porn Liberated Me from Hollywood" in 2022. "I think people have a misconception about actors in general, and of course people in the adult industry in general. And I think my story is multifaceted." "It's a story for every woman, every person that says, people are telling them, 'No,' over and over again," she added. "They're telling them what they should be, how they should act. We see it in everyday life. Like at any business, at any situation, people are trying to put especially women into this box. And it's really a story of self-discovery, and just finding who you are as an authentic person in any way that you want to."

However, there was a really scary moment in a thriller of a Game 4 when one player took a skate blade straight to the face. It happened late in the game when Minnesota's Michael McCarron tried to battle his way around Dallas defenseman Nils Lundkvist to a puck that had been sent across the goal mouth by Marcus Foligno. However, when McCarron dove for the puck, his foot kicked up and hit Lundkvist right in the face.

"We didn’t get the bodies for nine months," Dawood told the Guardian in a story published on Saturday. "Well, when I say bodies, I mean the slush that was left. They came in two small boxes, like shoeboxes." She added that "There wasn’t much they could find" of Shahzada Dawood, 48, and their son, Suleman, 19, of London, after the implosion.  "They have a big pile they can’t separate, all mixed DNA, and they asked if I wanted some of that, too. But I said no, just what you know is Suleman and Shahzada." Shahzada and Suleman were killed along with OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, businessman Hamish Harding and Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, when the submersible imploded as it descended toward the Titanic wreck in the North Atlantic Ocean on June 18, 2023. OCEANGATE TITAN SUBMERSIBLE DAMAGED ON MULTIPLE DIVES BEFORE CATASTROPHIC IMPLOSION, NTSB REPORT FINDS Dawood told the Guardian she remembers the last time she saw her husband and son that morning they got in the submersible as she battled seasickness aboard the ship that took them out to where they descended. "Suleman had his Rubik’s Cube, because he was planning to get the record for solving it at the deepest depth ever," she remembered. "And we were giggling, because Shahzada is clumsy and when he was going down the stairs he was wobbling a bit. I waved. And that was it. They got into a dinghy and sped off. It went very fast, the goodbye." A few hours later in the ship’s dining room, Dawood heard someone say: "They’ve lost communications." When they realized she overheard, the person added: "’Don’t worry, it’s not unusual.’ In that moment, what am I supposed to do? I felt trapped on that ship and I had no choice but to trust what they told me." She said she tried to keep her anxiety at bay, telling herself, "they were stuck" in the submersible.  LYNETTE HOOKER MISSING IN BAHAMAS: TIMELINE OF MICHIGAN WOMAN’S DISAPPEARANCE, HUSBAND’S ARREST "But I was worried. Suleman is not … well, both my men, they’re not very good at being in the dark, and I knew it would be a very different darkness down there. Nothing. You literally can’t see a thing," she said. She said everyone on the ship was in complete denial. "The crew were [acting] like nothing was happening," she said, saying the crew suggested it would just take time for the crew to be found unharmed. "It did cross my mind that OceanGate had ulterior motivations about what they told us," she added. "They were just trying to avoid the truth. But I would have deteriorated a lot quicker without hope." As they waited, she said the crew scheduled jamming sessions and movies to pass the time. AMERICAN COUPLE'S BAHAMAS DINGHY WAS ILL-EQUIPPED FOR CONDITIONS NIGHT OF WIFE'S DISAPPEARANCE: FRIEND "Ultimately, I think they wanted to distract people, keep everyone occupied," she said. "They wanted everyone onside, not to feed anything to the press. But jamming sessions? Am I really going to sit there and sing Kumbaya? I did try to give a movie a go, but when I got there it felt like an act of betrayal. Watching ‘Wayne’s World’ while they are trapped in the dark did not sit well with me." After an extensive search, the remains of the submersible were found on the ocean floor. The U.S. Coast Guard called it a "catastrophic implosion." "My first thought was, thank God," Dawood said. "When they said catastrophic, I knew Shahzada and Suleman didn’t even know about it. One moment they were there and the next they weren’t. Knowing they didn’t suffer has been so important. They’re gone, but the way they went does somehow make it easier." Once she knew they were gone, Dawood said she had to deal with the practical details. "What was I going to do with their stuff?" she said. "Their bags? Shahzada’s clothes and things were in my cabin, so I packed his bags. But I didn’t pack Suleman’s. I couldn’t.

RODEO STAR'S SON REMEMBERED BY FAMILY ON 1-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF DROWNING DEATH Last year, the Coast Guard released a report, calling the implosion a "preventable tragedy," blaming OceanGate’s culture of avoiding regulating and "negligence" on safety. "From the beginning, I had a lot of reasons to hate Stockton, but does that really help me?" Dawood said. "He died with them. If I’m angry with him, I’m giving him power, and I refuse to do that. I’m sure people will say I’m naive, but if I start to analyse every single thing, where does that lead me? So, I choose my own … not happiness but … I choose me, every day. If I don’t, I wouldn’t be here. I would have killed myself, for sure." She added that she tries to give her grief "attention." "So I go into Suleman’s room. Sometimes I find the cat sleeping on his pillow and I sit on the bed and let the grief come," she admitted. "And after a while I can put the grief away until the next time it gets too much. I’ve worked a lot on my grief for Suleman, but I’m only now starting to grieve for my husband. Publicly they are always put together, but they are two different relationships. Two very different pains."

The Senate voted Wednesday, April 22, for a budget resolution, not because of some newfound fiscal sanity, but because the majority wishes to spend more money without paying for it. You see, a budget resolution is necessary to do an end run around the filibuster. Normally, a bill requires 60 votes in the Senate to overcome a filibuster, however, a budget resolution that contains specific instructions can unlock the ability to pass a budget reconciliation bill with only a simple majority, or 51 votes. One might be inclined to see value in this process in that it forces Congress to actually pass a budget — a rare occurrence under both parties. However, it turns out that many of the budgets that are passed are simply ignored. For example, take last year’s budget which called for spending $4.8 trillion for 2026. It turns out that Congress actually allowed $5.9 trillion to be spent. Just a minor rounding error of $1.1 trillion dollars! (Of course, I voted against this deficit spending) SENATE GOP TAKES FIRST STEP TOWARD UNLOCKING BUDGET RECONCILIATION TO FUND ICE, BORDER PATROL The problem is the budget has no binding force. The budget is a resolution but not an actual law. So, big spenders being big spenders, the appropriators of both parties simply ignore the budget limits and spend what they want. The result – the deficit last year was just short of $2 trillion, and the overall national debt now exceeds $39 trillion. Fast-forward to this latest debate over the budget. Many in Congress will simply argue that the budget is a fiction and merely a "vehicle" to evade the filibuster. For the most part, unfortunately, that’s true. It would be one thing if some great principle were being advanced such as reducing the taxes extracted from American individuals and businesses and balancing the budget. But, recently, the budget resolutions that have been advanced to simply enable the passage of reconciliation bills actually increase spending and increase the deficit. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION This latest budget bill is no different. It offers some unspecified cuts in spending levels but its authors acknowledge the reality that the appropriators will simply ignore these lower spending numbers and that, even after 10 years, the budget will still not balance. In contrast, I still continue to argue that any meaningful budget should cap spending and balance within a five-year time frame. My Six Penny Plan does just that. I chose five years to balance as that is the time frame included in the Balanced Budget Amendment proposed by conservatives to the Constitution and because anything beyond five years is really fiction and always altered in the interim. The budget before Congress never balances and, even after 10 years, will still be adding $600 billion annually to the debt. The burden of this enormous debt and the annual interest payments that exceed a trillion dollars will be our undoing. Our constitutional republic requires more. Our country deserves better. In the next month, I will again offer my Six Penny Plan to balance the budget in just five years. Conservatives across the country need to demand better from Congress. Our kids’ futures require a Congress that will finally and definitively balance the budget. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM SEN.

A gunman armed with multiple weapons opened fire near a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton — where hundreds of journalists, celebrities and government officials were attending the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner. A Secret Service agent was struck but protected by a ballistic vest, and the suspect was quickly taken into custody, authorities said. Trump told reporters at the White House that he spoke with the agent, adding that he is expected to recover. SECRET SERVICE IN LINE OF FIRE AT WHCD SHOOTING STILL UNPAID DUE TO DEM-LED SHUTDOWN Trump pointed to the incident as evidence that the hotel venue was "not a particularly secure building," arguing that a new White House ballroom — equipped with features like bulletproof materials — would offer a safer alternative. But the proposal faces hurdles. The project has been slowed by legal challenges over whether the administration bypassed required approvals, with courts weighing the scope of presidential authority as the case moves forward. SPRAWLING NEW $250M WHITE HOUSE BALLROOM TO BE PAID FOR BY TRUMP AND DONORS The planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom has become a political flashpoint, with critics raising concerns about cost and preservation, while Trump and his allies frame it as a largely privately financed security upgrade. While the White House has hosted countless ceremonial events, it has never had a dedicated ballroom. The new structure would fill that gap, replacing the historic East Wing with a space built to accommodate large-scale gatherings. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the ballroom would seat roughly 650 guests and reflect the building’s classical design. "The White House is currently unable to host major functions honoring world leaders… without having to install a large and unsightly tent approximately 100 yards away," Leavitt said during a July 31 briefing, calling the project "a much-needed and exquisite addition." FROM THE OVAL OFFICE TO THE TRUMP KENNEDY CENTER, THE GILDED MAKEOVER EXPANDS Since returning to office, Trump, a former real estate developer, has embarked on a series of projects aimed at altering the look and feel of the White House and other iconic Washington landmarks. In February, the president announced in a Truth Social post that the Trump Kennedy Center will close for a two-year renovation. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP In October, Trump unveiled a new monument planned to commemorate the nation’s 250th anniversary next year. The monument, a near twin of Paris’ iconic Arc de Triomphe, is meant to welcome visitors crossing the Memorial Bridge from Arlington National Cemetery into the heart of the nation’s capital. Trump has also added golden accents to the Oval Office, added a "walk of fame" to the colonnade outside the Oval Office, renovated the Lincoln bathroom, paved part of the Rose Garden and installed two large American flags on the White House grounds.

"Cannot believe it's taken this long, but this truly makes me so incredibly happy to see," wrote ActBlue communications strategist Carter Christensen on X in reaction to the Meridian Hill Park fountain flowing once again after years of neglect – one of a handful of social media messages celebrating the update.  Construction and landscaping projects across Washington, D.C., have accelerated in recent months as the nation prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday in July, and follow Trump's larger effort to beautify the city and lower its crime trends.  TRUMP-BACKED MEGA EVENT TO BRING ALL 50 STATES TO DC IN WORLD’S FAIR-STYLE BASH As city fountains turned back on earlier this week, Democrats offered praise to see the city snap back to life.  "Best thing this administration has done and it's not even close,"  vice president of liberal think tank, Searchlight Institute, Tré Easton said on X Tuesday. The Meridian Hill Park fountain reopened at the end of April after repairs to cracks in the walls and a revamped landscape. The 13-basin cascading fountain, one of the longest in North America, had sat dry after the National Park Service closed the park’s lower level for renovations in 2020.  New fountains in Lafayette Park, located in downtown D.C., were also turned on for the first time. "Can unequivocally say: all the fountains in the nation's capital should work and I'm glad the Trump people got this done," wrote another Democrat strategist on X. "Credit where credit is due," Trump critic and Substack author Anthony LaMesa posted to X on Tuesday. "The Trump administration is finally fixing fountains around Washington, DC that have been out of order for many years," he added. DEMS UNLOAD ON TRUMP’S LATEST DC UPDATE WITH ‘CHRISTIAN NATIONALIST’ BROADSIDE, LEGAL PUSH Nine fountains are being rehabilitated and returned to service, while nine other operational fountains set to receive maintenance and system upgrades, according to the National Park Service. "President Trump’s common sense efforts to make DC safe and beautiful again are so popular that even Democrats are publicly praising the President for these much-needed and long-overdue renovations," White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told Fox News Digital.  WHITE HOUSE FIRES BACK AT CRITICS CALLING TRUMP’S MASSIVE ARCH ‘TOO BIG’ "Our nation’s capital will look more spectacular than ever before for America’s 250th birthday all thanks to President Trump!" Rogers added in comment to Fox News Digital.  President Trump requested a $10 billion Presidential Capital Stewardship Program in his 2027 budget. The funds would continue priority construction and rehabilitation projects in the Washington D.C. area. Trump has also pursued other high-profile changes tied to his broader vision for remaking the city, including White House renovations, the Trump-Kennedy Center name change and readying plans for installation of the Triumphal Arch — which have drawn Democratic scrutiny as the president's "vanity" ventures.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69edeba9059ccda1fcc2b65f Army unveils Combat Field Test with new fitness assessment: 'A critical step forward' te 2026-04-26T10:40:41.790Z Army unveils Combat Field Test with new fitness assessment: 'A critical step forward' The Army announced in a news release earlier this week that it is rolling out a new combat fitness test for frontline troops as leaders push to strengthen battlefield readiness amid ongoing recruiting challenges. The Combat Field Test (CFT), which is age and gender-neutral, applies to soldiers in combat specialties, is designed to mirror the physical demands of modern warfare and signals a shift toward stricter, role-specific standards as the Army looks to boost readiness across its ranks. The move comes after the Army missed recruiting targets in recent years, including falling roughly 15,000 soldiers short in 2022, according to U.S. Army Recruiting Command data, as leaders work to rebuild enlistment numbers and overall force strength. While the service has since rebounded to meet its 2025 targets, leaders continue to work on long-term readiness. The update follows broader changes to Army fitness standards in recent years. In 2025, the service announced a new Army Fitness Test to replace the previous Army Combat Fitness Test, after months of data analysis and feedback, with officials saying the changes were designed to improve readiness and emphasize combat effectiveness. TRUMP IS SENDING A POWERFUL MESSAGE TO OUR ENEMIES — AND ALLIES — WITH THE PENTAGON'S REBRAND The update comes amid War Secretary Pete Hegseth’s broader push to shift the military back to what he calls the "warrior ethos." "The Combat Field Test is a critical step forward in ensuring our soldiers serving in the most physically demanding specialties have the specific fitness required to dominate on the modern battlefield," Army Secretary Dan Driscoll said in a statement Wednesday. "This is about readiness, lethality and the well-being of our soldiers." A spokesperson for the Army did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. Soldiers will have 30 minutes to complete seven events with the clock running continuously while wearing the Army Combat Uniform and boots. ARMY UNVEILS NEW FITNESS TEST WITH TOUGHER STANDARDS — COULD YOU PASS IT? They must first run one mile, followed by 30 dead-stop push-ups, a 100-meter sprint, 16 lifts of a 40-pound sandbag onto a 65-inch platform and a 50-meter carry of two Army water cans weighing 40 pounds each. The test then requires soldiers to complete a 50-meter movement drill with a high crawl and a 25-meter three- to five-second rush before a final one-mile run. The Army will begin implementing the new test this month, and soldiers will be required to complete it annually. During the first year of the rollout, soldiers will not face penalties as the Army phases in the new standard, part of a broader effort to prepare troops for the physical demands of modern combat.

We have the NBA Playoffs, the NHL Playoffs and a ton of baseball games to choose from. Navigating those games can be a tough thing to do for sports bettors, but when you find a good one, you lock it in. I think I have one as the Angels are taking on the Royals in a Sunday game. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! The Angels are playing fairly well to begin the year. Before you start looking to lock up postseason tickets, just understand they are still hovering around .500. However, that’s still a bit more positive and successful than we’ve seen them in recent seasons. This is probably the best start since the 2023 season. Again, that doesn’t mean much, because it is so early. However, for this franchise, we need to search for some silver lining. Tonight, they send out Reid Detmers to the hill in hopes of capitalizing on the little momentum they do have. Detmers is 1-2 for the season with a 4.08 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP. The WHIP indicates to me that he might be the owner of some bad luck. Looking at his game log, it seems like he has alternated great starts with bad ones. In his season opener, he went 4.2 innings and allowed three earned runs. Then he went 6.2 scoreless innings and allowed just three hits. Against Atlanta, he went 4.1 innings and allowed six runs. The Yankees scored only one run over seven innings. In his most recent outing, he allowed four earned runs over six innings. Royals hitters have done well against Detmers, hitting .294 over 34 at-bats. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM The Royals are a bit of a disaster. They look like the worst team in the division, and they are in the same division as the White Sox and the Twins. Obviously, the season is still very young, but for a team with postseason aspirations, this is not the start they wanted to get off to. They have been particularly terrible on the road, but luckily for them, they are at home. Before this series, the team was winning 75% of its games at home. The good news for them is that Seth Lugo is on the hill, and he has been fantastic for the Royals. He is 1-1 for the season with a 1.15 ERA and a 0.93 WHIP. Lugo hasn’t allowed more than two earned runs in any of his five starts this season. Additionally, he has turned in four quality starts in five outings. Angels hitters have turned in a .182 batting average against him over 44 at-bats. This is a game that the Royals should win. It is hard to back them right now, but this is the ideal situation. You get Kansas City at home, and you have their best pitcher on the mound. I think it is a great idea to play Lugo to hold the Angels to under 2.5 earned runs, and I also really like the Royals to win this game. This is one where I wouldn’t be surprised to see them win on the run line. Kansas City hasn’t proven to be a team you want to back to this point, but I do think they have some significant edges in this game. Officially, I’ll take the Royals -0.5 through five innings, on the moneyline for the game, and under earned runs allowed for Lugo.

With King Charles and Queen Camilla’s upcoming trip, expectations are already building for the next round of iconic moments. On March 31, Buckingham Palace announced that the king and queen would travel to the U.S. to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence. President Donald Trump said they would visit from April 27 to 30. A state banquet will take place at the White House on April 28. Edward, Prince of Wales, who later became King Edward VII, was the first British royal to visit the White House in 1860. The upcoming visit will also mark the second time a British monarch has addressed Congress. The first was the king’s mother, Queen Elizabeth II, who delivered a speech at the Capitol during a state visit to the U.S. in 1991. PRINCE WILLIAM VIEWS TRUMP RELATIONSHIP AS KEY TO MONARCHY'S FUTURE: EXPERT "There are many fun royal occasions that have cemented our ‘special relationship,’" Helena Chard, a British broadcaster and photographer, told Fox News Digital. "Funny enough, the iconic moments tend to involve food, fashion, dance and normal things, highlighting the monarchy doing relatable things. The optics are gold and leave a lasting message." There are many headline-making moments to choose from over the years. Royal broadcaster Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital that you can’t revisit a past moment without referring to "hot dog diplomacy." WATCH: KING CHARLES’ DC VISIT TESTS 'SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP': AUTHOR "In 1939, King George VI famously shared beer and hot dogs with Franklin D. Roosevelt," he said. "This reportedly endeared him to the president and helped build a relationship with Americans entering World War II." The late queen made her first state visit to the U.S. as a reigning monarch in 1957. She was hosted by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Turner also said that when it came to her visits, Americans didn’t think twice about rolling out the red carpet. "During the visit in 1957, it was reported that the queen spent the night in the Rose Bedroom while Prince Philip stayed in the Lincoln Bedroom," he said. "It was explained that Philip liked to have a cold bedroom at night, with windows open to let in fresh air. Meanwhile, the queen valued her warm comforts." Several royal experts agreed that the late queen appeared at ease in America. She was excited to see an American football game, explore a supermarket with her husband, and see the New York City skyline up close. In 1983, the queen was invited by President Ronald Reagan and first lady Nancy Reagan to visit Rancho del Cielo, their California retreat known as the "Western White House." "There was a rainstorm, so they had to make do with a meal of enchiladas, tacos, refried beans and guacamole," said Turner. "Apparently, the queen found them wonderful. Both the queen and President Reagan shared a love of riding and spent time together pursuing it." CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER As for the late queen’s sister, she was ready to party. In 1965, Princess Margaret was on an American tour when she attended what was described as "a star-studded dinner" at the White House hosted by President Lyndon B. Johnson. According to reports, the "royal rebel" and the president enjoyed libations while they foxtrotted into the morning. As for the queen's son, Charles, he was almost set up with American royalty. The former Prince Charles visited the United States in 1970 when he was newly crowned the Prince of Wales. An eager President Nixon was reportedly determined to play matchmaker between the prince and his daughter, Tricia Nixon. "There were rumors that Nixon wanted to set up Tricia with Prince Charles," royal commentator Meredith Constant told Fox News Digital. "Obviously, that didn’t pan out, but the trip was considered an overwhelming success. The pictures of the Nixon girls with Charles and his sister, Princess Anne, captured some of that vibrant, next-generation youth. And clearly, the White House saw the benefit of having the U.K. royals over for a visit." While the president’s daughter didn’t woo him, a first lady reportedly stole his heart. LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS In 1981, Charles, who was then engaged to Princess Diana, was a guest of President Reagan’s at the White House, the U.K.’s Express reported. According to the outlet, he reportedly told a friend, "I have fallen in love with Mrs. Reagan." Despite such reports, historians generally view this as exaggerated or taken out of context from a close but platonic friendship. Chard has a different memory from that visit. "He attended a youth event on the South Lawn where he was challenged to break dance," she said. "He declined. However, dressed in his smart suit, he did some stiff robot moves for a few minutes." But no visit captured the public imagination quite like Princess Diana’s arrival. In 1985, she attended a state dinner hosted by President Reagan alongside Charles. It was her first official visit to the U.S. The first lady invited all of Diana’s favorite stars: Tom Selleck, Neil Diamond, Clint Eastwood and John Travolta. Diana’s dance with the "Grease" star became legendary. "Princess Diana wore a midnight blue velvet dress that would be known as ‘the Travolta dress,’" said Chard. "As Diana showcased her moves, the guests were mesmerized. It was like a fairytale, arguably the most famous royal White House moment." But not every visit was so glamorous. "In 1991, while the queen was giving a speech, nobody had taken into consideration her height," said Turner. "All guests could see was the top of her head. The incident became known as ‘Podiumgate.’" The unfazed queen later joked, "I do hope you can see me today from where you are." It wasn’t the only misstep. "During a speech at a 2007 White House event, President George W. Bush made a gaffe by stating the queen had helped celebrate the bicentennial not in 1976, but in 1776," said Turner. "The queen glared at him. But it was all in fun. As they left the banquet, she smiled and winked at him." During her reign, the late queen embarked on four state visits to the U.S.: in 1957, 1976, 1991 and 2007. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ede4d0059ccda1fcc2b537 'Discriminatory' National Park fee plan slammed by Democrats turns into conservation win, Burgum says te 2026-04-26T10:11:28.340Z 'Discriminatory' National Park fee plan slammed by Democrats turns into conservation win, Burgum says EXCLUSIVE: A major change to National Park entry fee structure lambasted by Democrats as discriminatory has led to a moderate windfall for conservation efforts undertaken by the Department of the Interior. Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., led a December letter co-signed by Sens. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and others slamming DOI Secretary Doug Burgum’s plan to increase national park annual passes to $250 for foreign visitors while the $80 rate for residents remains in place. An additional $100 is also tacked on to nonresident visitors at the most trafficked parks. Padilla separately called the plan "discriminatory," while Schiff and his co-signers said the move fails to meet public notice guidelines, risks retention of visitors’ personal information and raises questions about how DOI would facilitate the discrepant fee structure when a carload of people show up at the gate. But the Interior Department went ahead with the plan, and in the first quarter of 2026 the disparate fee structure led to more than $2 million being collected from foreign visitors, Burgum’s office told Fox News Digital. KRISTI NOEM'S FIRING FAILS TO SWAY DEMOCRATS AS DHS SHUTDOWN DRAGS ON "The millions of dollars in new revenue generated from this administration’s Non-Resident park passes is proof that President Donald J. Trump was right to put affordability for Americans first as we change how the Department of Interior raises money to support conservation from foreign visitors," said DOI press secretary Aubrie Spady. "As we approach our great nation's 250th birthday, initiatives like America First pricing, along with the addition of the America the Beautiful pass featuring President Trump, are delivering meaningful benefits for both our parks and the American people by celebrating our nation's history while investing in its future." In their letter calling on Burgum to stop implementation of the program, Padilla and Schiff expressed concern about the effect on "understaffed" park workers, what they said was an already cratering visitation rate from Canadian visitors — which Democrats have blamed on Trump’s sparring with Prime Minister Mark Carney and conjecture about annexing the "51st state" — and what would happen to visitors who cannot produce ID. AMERICAN HISTORY WON'T BE DISPLAYED 'IN A WOKE MANNER' AT SMITHSONIAN, TRUMP SAYS Burgum previously legitimized the disparate fee structure by noting that DOI and national parks are already partially subsidized by every American taxpayer – and that by charging a lesser rate to U.S. residents, the agency is acknowledging that and giving back to American parkgoers. "These policies ensure that U.S. taxpayers, who already support the National Park System, continue to enjoy affordable access, while international visitors contribute their fair share to maintaining and improving our parks for future generations," Burgum said. Pass sales in the first three months of 2024 totaled $13.7 million, and $14.3 million in 2025. As of this year, that figure increased to $16.7 million, with total nonresident revenue so far topping $4.9 million alone. Padilla and Schiff did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ede4bc059ccda1fcc2b52e Work of scientists in ‘suspicious’ disappearances is prime target for hostile foes: retired FBI agent te 2026-04-26T10:11:08.469Z Work of scientists in ‘suspicious’ disappearances is prime target for hostile foes: retired FBI agent As about a dozen cases involving missing or deceased American nuclear scientists have come to light, a retired high-level FBI official says some of them fit a pattern that he considers suspicious. "The missing [and] disappearance thing is suspicious inherently," said Chris Swecker, who served as assistant director of the FBI. "What they were working on would certainly, without a doubt, be a target of a hostile foreign intelligence service like Russia or China. It could be Iran, could be Pakistan." Swecker believes the six deaths that have been widely reported don't have much in common, and he doesn't believe they're connected. While Swecker isn't convinced that there's a conspiracy afoot even among the missing scientists, he agrees that authorities should be looking for links in the disappearances, given the high-value, sensitive technology that they all worked with or near. MOST SHOCKING EXAMPLES OF CHINESE ESPIONAGE UNCOVERED BY THE US THIS YEAR: 'JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG' The disappearance of retired Air Force Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland earlier this year set off the cascade of theories about the missing and dead scientists. He was the former commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory, and had connections to the Los Alamos National Laboratory, where top-secret nuclear research is conducted. He vanished in New Mexico after leaving his home with only a pair of boots and a handgun. He left his phone, keys and glasses behind. "I'm just saying that ... the FBI would have interest in anything that happened to them because of what they were working on," he said. "And, in fact, [with] McCasland, the FBI showed up uninvited that very afternoon." STATE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE ALLEGEDLY REMOVED CLASSIFIED DOCS, MET WITH CHINESE OFFICIALS Anthony Chavez, 79, worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory until he retired in 2017. He reportedly disappeared on May 8, 2025. He was last seen leaving his house in Los Alamos on foot, with his car locked in his driveway. He did not bring his phone, wallet or keys on his walk. Melissa Casias, 53, also worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. She went missing on June 26, 2025. Steven Garcia, 48, went missing from Albuquerque on Aug. 28, 2025. He worked at the Kansas City National Security Campus, located in Albuquerque, which develops most of the nonnuclear components that go into building nuclear weapons. He reportedly left on foot carrying only a handgun. ‘SEX SPIES’ FROM CHINA, RUSSIA HIT US TO SEDUCE AND STEAL SECRETS WITH HONEYPOT TACTICS, FMR OPERATIVE WARNS He reportedly had a top secret security clearance. "So Garcia, Chavez and Casias, in my opinion, ought to be lumped in and that should be the focus, and any others that went missing, because that would fit more of a pattern than just killing somebody because of what they know," said Swcker. "Exact same pattern," he continued. "They disappeared with all their personal belongings [left] behind. Some of them took their handguns with them, which means they're either in fear or they're going to go use it on themselves." IS THERE A NEW ENGLAND SERIAL KILLER? FORMER FBI AGENT WITH REGIONAL TIES REVEALS HIS THEORY Swecker also had a warning for scientists working in top-secret fields. "What people really need to be aware of — anybody involved in technology and anything that China or Russia or our competitors want to get their hands — ought to understand that there is a daily collection effort by China, Russia, Iran, to some extent, North Korea, but mainly China and Russia to steal technology because they're not good at [research and development]," he said. "And their whole programs depend on stealing the technology and reverse engineering it." "So, scientists, people involved in the defense contracting companies, research and development at universities, you know, all types of technologies in the U.S., even if it's not military use, ought to be aware that this type of stuff goes on day in and day out." Last week, the White House directed the FBI to coordinate an investigation into the cases. The investigation is ongoing.

From 1 p.m. ET until we all lay our heads down to sleep, we are going to have hoops available for us to watch. Not the regular-season garbage, we are getting playoff basketball, the best of basketball. It starts with action between the Cavs and Raptors, who are in a seven-game set with Cleveland up 2-1. Cleveland had a decent year, winning 52 games, but the Cavs finally tweaked the team that turned in success from the past two years. They traded away Darius Garland and turned him into James Harden. This team also has Dennis Schroder coming off the bench instead of Lonzo Ball. I don’t see much depth outside of him on the court. As the playoffs get deeper, the benches don’t matter quite as much. The Cavs are strong at four of the five starting positions. They looked great in the first two games of the playoffs. In the first two games, the Cavaliers won both of them over the Raptors by at least 10 points. In Game 3, Cleveland was blitzed by the Raptors and lost by 22. The issues were both a poor shooting night from Cleveland and a really good one from Toronto. It also didn’t help that the Cavs had 22 turnovers. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Toronto was a surprise team this year. Most expected them to battle for a Play-In spot and probably struggle to even get that. However, things clicked for the team, and they turned in a 46-36 record. They were really good behind a combination of cast-offs and a really good drafted player, Scottie Barnes. Those players from other teams, Immanuel Quickley, Brandon Ingram, RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl (though he was drafted by the Raptors, went to the Spurs, and came back), have made this team competitive. In the first two games, they didn’t really look ready for the postseason. However, the team looked great in Game 3. This was a bit of a coming-out party for them, but it might’ve also just been an anomaly. They shot 57% from the field and 61% from three. I just don’t see that happening again. One area they struggled with was from the free-throw line. They still were behind in rebounds, which is something they are likely to struggle with this entire series. Barrett and Barnes both put in 33 points for the team. Barnes was particularly great, adding 11 assists and five rebounds. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! You can’t count on the Raptors to shoot that well again. I won’t say the Cavs are going to shoot all that much better, but I do expect some improvement from them. The home court advantage is still on the side of Toronto, but after winning a game, the Cavs should lock in for this one. I think the best action is to take the Cavs -3.5.

During Wednesday's California gubernatorial debate, Democrat Katie Porter said she would "fight" the Trump administration after she was asked if English language proficiency should be strictly enforced for truck drivers. Her comments come amid a string of fatal incidents involving illegal immigrant drivers, including Harjinder Singh, who allegedly made an illegal U-turn on the Florida Turnpike in August, triggering a crash that left three dead, according to the Department of Homeland Security. SIGN UP TO GET TRUE CRIME NEWSLETTER In a more recent case, Bekzhan Beishekeev, an illegal immigrant from Kyrgyzstan who entered the U.S. under the Biden administration, is accused of failing to stop for a slowing semi-truck, swerving into oncoming traffic and slamming into a van carrying up to 15 passengers, killing four, according to DHS. SEND US A TIP HERE Joe Abraham, whose daughter was killed by an illegal immigrant drunken driver, warned Americans in an interview with Fox News Digital about the dangers of allowing illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses — commercial or otherwise — without proper vetting. "What happens is the outcomes are like what my family's suffering through right now. So you take away these guardrails, you nullify federal law and then you implement no real process, an upfront process to understand who's coming into our communities. Are they vetted, they were not. Were they health screened? No, the guy who killed Katie had HIV, no one even identified him until he was incarcerated," he said. LISTEN TO THE NEW 'CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO' PODCAST Abraham's daughter, Katie, was killed in a drunken driving hit-and-run crash that involved an illegal immigrant in 2025 in Urbana, Illinois. Julio Cucul-Bol, an illegal immigrant, was sentenced to 30 years in prison after he crashed into her car and fled the scene. "Let's figure out where those cracks are and tighten them up. But if you have a process, and I've been talking about this since Katie's death, you cannot just say, everyone is my neighbor," he said. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? FIND MORE ON THE TRUE CRIME HUB Abraham said at the very least, knowledge of the English language should be a requirement. "It seems really common sense-wise, and I know that our politicians today struggle with common sense. I don't know if they try to outsmart their common sense or if it's just straight up ideology and power. But it seems to me that if you're on the roads, not only should you know the language and be able to read the signs and understand the flow, but you should be assimilated in some way," Abraham said. The Illinois resident said his daughter was a "beautiful person" with a "sharp wit." "She was so personable. Her personality was so engaging, made everyone feel seen, heard, cared for, compassionate, fair-minded. She loved the water. She was a water polo player. She was a competitive swimmer. Did that all through high school. She had her whole life ahead of her. And see, you know, like a sponge, she soaked in life, every piece of it, and she was only 20. We still had so many plans ahead of us that were, you know, that are just gone because of reckless policies," he added. Fox News Digital reached out to Porter's campaign for comment.

Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta for failing to crack down on widespread fraud after her watchdog group uncovered multiple cases she says state leaders ignored. "Every day is opposite day when it comes to Gavin Newsom and Rob Bonta," Le Roux told Fox News Digital. "Whatever they say, I generally believe the exact opposite is true and so when Gavin Newsom says that fraud is under control, what that means is that either he's in on it or unwilling to do anything about it." "They are either unwilling to do anything or they are not wanting to do it and they're just trying to spin what they are already doing in that way," she added. CALIFORNIA REPUBLICAN SLAMS STATE'S HANDLING OF HOSPICE FRAUD AS SHE LOOKS TO FLIP BLUE SEAT California has been at the center of the national fraud spotlight in recent months as the Trump administration has sent resources to the state to look into various accusations of fraud ranging from healthcare to homelessness to nonprofit organizations. The CEO of a California hospice advocacy group told congressional lawmakers Tuesday that fraud in the industry is flourishing across the state, questioning how numerous fraudulent providers can continue to operate under the nose of regulators. "You'd be amazed at how many hospices… the door you can walk up to in California and there is nobody there. Five months' worth of mail that you can see stacked… nobody's there," Sheila Clark, the president and CEO of the California Hospice and Palliative Care Association (CHAPCA), said. "And that passed a survey. How did that happen?" Le Roux said her group uncovered what she described as "intentional fraud" in Sacramento, alleging funds are being redirected toward "Democrat base-building." Cal DOGE is a group that works to root out waste, fraud, and abuse in California that was launched in early 2026 by Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton. The group says it has uncovered almost $700 million in waste, fraud, and abuse since its founding. "We have been more effective with a group of volunteers in the last 10 weeks than Gavin Newsom and Rob Bonta have since they've been in office," Le Roux said. She added Bonta’s office wasted resources on legal battles against the Trump administration instead of focusing on fraud patterns that her group identified using artificial intelligence and financial data. "Rob Bonta's office billed over 150,000 hours a year going after President Trump and the Trump administration's policies that equates to almost 200 lawyers times when you extrapolate it out over an entire year, which is one-sixth of his entire office, and larger than the DOJ office that's actually doing something in California," she said. Le Roux, a cousin of Democratic Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger, launched her campaign in March and is running in the GOP primary for California’s 47th Congressional District with a focus on combating fraud. "It doesn't just happen, it's the normal way of operating, which is why, again, the people who've been perpetrating the fraud and leading the charge on it, Newsom and Bonta, can't be the ones that are actually going to investigate it," she said. GOP SHERIFF LEADING CALIFORNIA POLL RIPS NEWSOM’S ‘LOVE AFFAIR’ WITH CRIMINALS In one example, she said her group uncovered a case where $370 million in cannabis tax revenue was routed through an intermediary and split into smaller grants that went to unrelated programs. She pointed to systemic flaws, including limited federal prosecution for funds "mostly under $1 million." "There is no oversight, not one report that is required to explain where the money is spent," she said. As a result, she said that a lack of oversight has contributed to an estimated $80 billion annually in "fraud, waste, or gross overpayments," arguing the problem is systematic. Amid recent hospice fraud allegations, Le Roux said stronger oversight could have prevented the issue and curbed the fraud. Newsom’s office pushed back, saying enforcement falls to the federal government. "These hospice agencies that we are now in the process of shutting down were licensed by the state of California," she said. "They should have never been opened. Every piece of oversight that the state of California should have been administrating had not been happening and so this is a California issue." She said her group is pressuring officials to prosecute fraud. "Newsom is trying to take credit for doing nothing instead of actually becoming a part of reform in our state, which is by the way, what not just Republicans, but independents and Democrats want desperately," she said. However, she emphasized fraud extends beyond California. "When money flows into California and nothing is checked, that is an American problem, not a California problem," she said. Fox News Digital reached out to the offices of Newsom and Bonta for comment. Newsom's office has responded to critics in general in recent weeks by saying the state is "leading the nation in preventing fraud." "Since @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom took office: — $125 billion+ in fraud STOPPED — 1,200+ criminals ARRESTED — 83% reduction in EBT fraud in one year — New hospice licenses BANNED beginning in 2022," Newsom's press office posted on X last month.

According to a press release from AARP Arizona, the bill is intended to provide an additional option for families seeking to monitor the care of residents who may be unable to report abuse or neglect. The amended measure now returns to the Arizona Senate for approval. SB 1041, if enacted, would permit residents or their representatives to install electronic monitoring devices, such as cameras, in long-term care settings under specified conditions. Another abuse case recently reported at an assisted living facility is adding more urgency to our SB 1041 Electronic Monitoring Bill aimed at protecting long-term care residents. More details at https://t.co/HR7ImWf4Yzhttps://t.co/QXBj8WIn3G pic.twitter.com/UEbpX4D1pF — AARP Arizona (@AARPArizona) April 23, 2026 The House vote follows recent media reports of an alleged abuse incident involving a long-term care worker and a resident with dementia “This legislation gives families an additional option to help protect residents who may not be able to speak for themselves,” said Dana Marie Kennedy, state director of AARP Arizona, in the release. Kennedy cited a recent incident involving the alleged abuse of a dementia patient, which, according to the release, “came to light only after the resident’s daughter placed a camera in her mother’s room and captured what occurred, leading to the worker’s arrest.” According to AZ Family, Gamacy Gilles, 46, was arrested and accused of abusing a dementia patient at Grand Court Senior Living in Mesa on Sunday. “That case highlights why SB 1041 matters,” Kennedy said, “Families should not have to depend on chance or learn after the fact that a loved one was harmed.” Kennedy said the bill builds on several years of advocacy focused on improving safety and oversight in long-term care facilities. AARP Arizona has worked on related issues since 2017, according to the organization. AARP Arizona also acknowledged the bill’s sponsor, Wendy Rogers (R-LD6), and its House sponsor, Quang Nguyen (R-LD1), and urged the Arizona Senate to approve the measure.

Hobbs’ Housing Moratorium Struck Down In Court te 2026-04-26T08:30:13.094Z Gov. Hobbs’ Housing Moratorium Struck Down In Court By Staff Reporter | The housing moratorium crippling new construction in the Valley imposed by Gov. Katie Hobbs’ administration may not go on for much longer. The Maricopa County Superior Court struck down the moratorium on Tuesday in Home Builders Association of Central Arizona v. Arizona Department of Water Resources, et al.  Under Hobbs, the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) issued new groundwater regulations rolled out in November 2024 dubbed the “Unmet Demand Rule” and the “Depth-to Water Rule.” Per the court, these rules went impermissibly beyond the longstanding obligation for builders outlined in Arizona law, which required assurance of sufficient groundwater supply in order for each development to take place (100 years’ worth).  ADWR imposed the rules based on a groundwater model claiming that unmet demand and exceedance of the 1,000-foot depth-to-water limit existed throughout Phoenix. In other words, their regulations meant a developer seeking a certificate for one subdivision had to answer not just for their development area, but for the water status of the entire Valley. This resulted in ADWR’s indefinite suspension on granting certificates to any developers.  The consequence of these regulations brought new home construction to a halt throughout Maricopa County. The Home Builders Association of Central Arizona (HBACA), a trade association for the residential construction and development industry, challenged ADWR’s authority to impose new rules. ADWR attempted to style the Unmet Demand Rule as a new implementation of an old rule, but the Maricopa Superior Court Judge Scott Blaney rejected that view as an undoing of the necessary limitations of administrative agency powers.  “‘To permit this would neuter all statutory limits on agency rule-making[,]’” stated Blaney in his ruling, quoting HBACA’s argument. Blaney also found that ADWR didn’t follow state law on agency rulemaking under the Administrative Procedures Act. Blaney invalidated both rules.  “ADWR acted unlawfully by implementing two agency rules without first complying with the mandatory provisions of the APA[,]” wrote Blaney. The Arizona Free Enterprise Club (AFEC) called the court ruling a win and criticized ADWR’s model justifying the overturned regulations as flawed. “The Maricopa County Superior Court has struck down the Hobbs Administration’s attempt to impose a sweeping housing moratorium based on its flawed water model — a stinging loss for Katie Hobbs and a ruling that the state failed to follow proper legal procedures,” stated AFEC. “This is a major victory for transparency, accountability, and Arizona homeowners.” 🚨BREAKING🚨: The Maricopa County Superior Court has struck down the Hobbs Administration’s attempt to impose a sweeping housing moratorium based on its FLAWED water model—a STINGING LOSS for Katie Hobbs and a ruling that the state failed to follow proper legal procedures.

Goldwater Institute’s vice president for legal affairs, Timothy Sandefur, hailed the ruling as a necessary check on an administrative state attempting to impose greater burdens than that which the law requires. “The case is also a reminder of the dangerous power that the pervasive ‘administrative state’ wields over our daily lives — as unelected and unaccountable bureaucracies exert authority over every detail of construction, business, and property ownership, to cite just a few examples,” said Sandefur. “The only solution to the arbitrariness and lawlessness of these agencies is to rein in their power — and for courts to ensure that they obey the law.” AZ Free News is your #1 source for Arizona news and politics.

Pima County Supervisor Matt Heinz is accusing Nanos of “perpetrat[ing] a fraud” on the Pima County community for decades. Heinz has been calling for Nanos’ ouster for over a month now.  Nanos, no stranger to controversy, came under fire again for his alleged mishandling of the investigation into the apparent kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie, 84. Guthrie disappeared from her Tucson home nearly three months ago. As of this report, no leads about her kidnapper(s) have been made public.  Doubts over his administration of the high-profile disappearance prompted further scrutiny into Nanos’ past. The Arizona Republic reported on records indicating that Nanos falsified his resume in order to be hired by the Pima County Sheriff’s Department (PCSD) over 40 years ago.  Nanos is accused of failing to disclose the alleged misconduct that led to his resignation while working for the El Paso Police Department in New Mexico back in the 1980s.  Nanos received 37 days of suspension or leave for eight misconduct incidents, ranging from poor behaviors to violence. One incident yielded a 15-day suspension for allegedly beating a handcuffed robbery suspect seated in the back of a cop car with a flashlight.  According to reports, it was that latter incident that caused the El Paso Police Department to be sued and forced Nanos to resign in 1982 in lieu of termination. However, Nanos claimed on his resume that he left the El Paso Police Department in 1984.  “He’s a bad cop. He made really bad decisions, and then lied about his past to convince then-Pima County officials to hire him back in 1984. He also lied about that gap in time. He used to say 1982,” said Heinz in an interview with NewsNation. “We shouldn’t even know his name. We should not know the name Nanos.”  Sheriff Chris Nanos, who is overseeing the investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, faces renewed scrutiny from local officials who are reviewing his past suspensions while working as a cop in El Paso, Texas. “He’s a bad cop. He made really bad decisions and then lied… pic.twitter.com/4ZDIbEKlx6 — NewsNation (@NewsNation) April 24, 2026 PCSD said in a press release issued last month that the date discrepancies were “administrative in nature” and weren’t part of an intentional effort to mislead or misrepresent Nanos’ work history.  Heinz also accused Nanos of holding a grudge against the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) over a 2015-2016 investigation into his department over the possible misuse of around $500,000 in Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) funds. That investigation ended up costing Nanos his chief deputy, who was indicted, and ultimately the sheriff’s race.  “He has held a grudge against the FBI and refused to fully work with them going forward,” said Heinz. Heinz said it was possible this potential personal grievance by Nanos had jeopardized Guthrie’s case.  Nanos’s attorney, James Cool, said in a statement that the sheriff’s past has no bearing on his present conduct.   “Whatever the Sheriff did or did not do before being elected is necessarily unrelated to his performance of the duties of his office,” stated Cool.  During their next meeting (May 12), the Pima County Board of Supervisors plan to review a report submitted by Nanos answering questions about his employment history and current administration. The board has entertained considerations of removal proceedings, but hasn’t made any final decisions. AZ Free News is your #1 source for Arizona news and politics.

About 40 students from Hancock Middle School were on board when their driver, Leah Taylor, 46, suffered an asthma attack shortly after leaving campus, according to The Associated Press. Taylor attempted to grab her medication but passed out before she could reach it. Without hesitation, the students sprang into action to keep the bus from crashing.

He rushed forward to grab the wheel and called for help. "I didn’t have time to process my emotions," Casnave said. "I just wanted to make sure that nobody got hurt." Darrius Clark, who is also 12, then hit the brakes, and the students steered the bus to a median and brought it to a stop.

"They’re the ones that saved my life and everybody else’s on that bus." The students were honored at a school pep rally Friday and are set to receive a celebratory lunch next week, The AP reported. "What they did took courage," the school's principal, Dr. Melissa Saucier, said. "They didn’t wait for somebody to step in, they stepped up themselves, and that says a lot about their character."

"They don't go after the ones that don't do much because they like it that way."  COREY COMPERATORE'S WIDOW SHEDS NEW LIGHT ON FINAL MOMENTS WITH HER HUSBAND Trump, himself, has faced repeated threats on his life.  There were two assassination attempts on Trump’s life in 2024, beginning in Butler, Pennsylvania, when a bullet grazed his ear after a gunman climbed onto a roof during a rally on July 13, 2024. "Butler had one weak spot that we all know about. Somebody should have been up there, but even in Butler, we had our sniper on our side. Within 4.2 seconds, from a distance of about 400 yards, one shot, and he was gone," said Trump. A second incident unfolded just weeks later, at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, when a suspect with a rifle was discovered near the golf course while Trump was present. Trump was not injured during that incident.  FBI INVESTIGATES HUNTING STAND WITH SIGHT LINE TO TRUMP'S AIR FORCE ONE EXIT AREA AT PALM BEACH AIRPORT Others in the room have also been shaped by political violence, bringing additional weight to the moment. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nephew of President John F. Kennedy (JFK), was swiftly escorted out of the room on Saturday, an HHS official told Fox News Digital. His family history is closely tied to two tragic assassinations.  JFK was assassinated on Nov. 22, 1963, while riding in an open-top motorcade in Dallas, Texas, during a re-election campaign event. YEARS OF CAMPUS ATTACKS ON CONSERVATIVE ACTIVISTS RESURFACE AFTER CHARLIE KIRK’S MURDER Five years later, the secretary's father, then-Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, was shot after he delivered a victory speech when he won the California Democratic presidential primary.  He was struck three times, including a fatal shot to the head. Similarly, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise was among four people who were shot on June 14, 2017, at a Republican congressional baseball practice. The gunman, a supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., was shot and killed by police. Scalise was shot in the hip, leaving him critically wounded. He eventually recovered and returned to Congress months later. "I’m incredibly grateful for the brave members of law enforcement who acted quickly to protect all of us attending tonight’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner. This is an event meant to bring people together. Violence has NO place in our country," Scalise posted to X.  Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk was reportedly seen crying backstage after she ran out of the ballroom following the shots fired. Kirk has also experienced personal tragedy when her husband was assassinated in September 2025 while speaking at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University. Fox News Digital reached out to Kennedy and Scalise for comment. Trump hailed law enforcement during his press conference from the White House late on Saturday, saying the situation was "incredibly acted upon by Secret Service and law enforcement."  "[The suspect] had a long way to go. That was really a first line of defense. And they got him. And they really, you know, they acted incredibly," he continued.  The suspected gunman, identified as a 31-year-old Cole Allen of California, was taken into custody.

White is, of course, a close friend of the president and was invited to the event. In fact, he was even interviewed on the red carpet and talked about the upcoming UFC Freedom 250 that will take place at the White House on June 14. But the night took a turn when a gunman stormed a security checkpoint and shot a Secret Service agent, who is, thankfully, expected to be okay. UFC'S BRUCE BUFFER SAYS IT WILL BE AN 'HONOR' TO BE AT WHITE HOUSE: 'IT'S GONNA BE AMAZING' Fortunately, there have been no reports of attendees being hurt, and President Trump, the first lady, Vice President JD Vance, and other Trump administration officials were taken out of the room while guests hid under tables. Obviously, the ballroom where the dinner was taking place was filled with more than 2,000 people who were understandably very shaken by what had happened. However, Dana White was not one of those rattled by it. As guests were filing out of the Washington Hilton ballroom and the surrounding area, White took a second to talk to some reporters on his way out about what he experienced. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! "It started getting noisy, tables started flipping over, guys running in with guns, and they were screaming 'Get down,'" White said. "I didn't get down. It was f--king awesome. I literally took every minute of it in, and it was a pretty crazy, unique experience." White said he was sitting right in front of the head table, where the president, vice president and first lady, press secretary Karoline Leavitt, White House Correspondents’ Association members and others were seated. "Guys came in looking for shooters," he continued. "They came toward our table. I thought the shooter was over by us or something." I don't think too many people would react to a situation of this magnitude the way Dana White did, but he's certainly built differently.

Pirro said that more charges are expected.  Allen was not struck by gunfire, Secret Service said, but was apprehended and taken to a local hospital, too.  President Donald Trump was whisked away from the venue by Secret Service along with First Lady Melania Trump and other high-level cabinet officials.

About two hours after the shots were fired, Trump, still wearing his tuxedo, addressed a roomful of reporters also in formalwear at the White House briefing room. Trump said one officer had been shot in the attack, but was saved by “a very good bulletproof vest.” Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said at a separate press availability that the officer and the suspect had been transported to local hospitals.  The suspect was armed with a shotgun, handgun and multiple knives, Washington Metropolitan Police interim Chief Jeffery Carroll said. As of Saturday night, investigators believed the suspect acted alone, though a full investigation was underway, Carroll said.

He would be arraigned in federal court Monday, she added.  No other casualties were reported, and the U.S. Capitol Police said all members of Congress in attendance were unharmed. The high-profile press dinner intended to honor the First Amendment at the Washington Hilton Hotel, often dubbed “nerd prom,” attracts about 2,600 attendees. Charged security checkpoint The suspected shooter, who law enforcement said was a guest at the hotel, was a man from California who charged “a security checkpoint armed with multiple weapons,” from about 50 yards away, Trump said.  He posted a photo on his social media platform of what appeared to be the suspect, lying shirtless flat on the floor. Some news media identified the individual but States Newsroom cannot yet confirm those reports. Anthony Guglielmi, a Secret Service spokesman, said in a statement on social media the incident occurred near the main magnetometer screening area at the dinner. “He was running full-blast,” Trump said.  U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during a press conference while flanked by FBI Director Kash Patel and Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin in the Brady Briefing Room of the White House on April 25, 2026 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Nathan Howard/Getty Images) Federal law enforcement on Saturday night was pursuing warrants to search the man’s home, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said at the briefing with Trump. Asked if he believed he was the target of the attack, Trump said, “I guess.”  Trump said he’d been targeted, now apparently in a third assassination attempt in two years, because of his impactful record as president. “It comes with the territory,” he said. “You take a look at what’s happened to some of our greatest presidents, and it doesn’t happen to people that don’t do anything,” he said.   In a social media post before briefing reporters, Trump said he was in “perfect condition.” Rescheduled dinner At the White House briefing room podium, Trump praised the law enforcement response and committed to rescheduling the event in the next 30 days. The dinner, an annual celebration of the White House press corps, is “dedicated to freedom of speech,” he said. “And we’ll make it bigger and better and even nicer,” he said. “I just want to thank everybody that was involved. I also want to thank the press, the media. You’ve been very responsible in your coverage, I will say. I’ve been seeing what’s been out.” An initial press pool report from the hotel after the shooting occurred, sent at 8:39 p.m. Eastern, said “There was several loud bangs and the Secret Service with guns drawn rushed the pool out of the room. (The) Secret Service pushed us back screaming ‘Shots fired.’” Jacqui Heinrich of Fox News said on social media shortly after 9 p.m. Eastern that she was behind the podium with other guests, “in a hold,” and Trump was still down the hall and did not want to leave. Trump himself confirmed that in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social.  “Quite an evening in D.C. Secret Service and Law Enforcement did a fantastic job,” he wrote. “They acted quickly and bravely. The shooter has been apprehended, and I have recommended that we ‘LET THE SHOW GO ON’ but, will entirely be guided by Law Enforcement. They will make a decision shortly. Regardless of that decision, the evening will be much different than planned, and we’ll just, plain, have to do it again. President DONALD J. TRUMP” Frightened reporters seated at tables in the Hilton ballroom dove for the floor. Cabinet members and White House officials were hustled out of the room. CNN’s Wolf Blitzer said on air that he heard “a really loud blasting away” and the next thing he knew he was being pushed to the floor by police. “I was just a few feet away from the gunman, and it was a really scary moment,” Blitzer said. Reagan shooting The annual formal dinner is hosted by an organization made up of journalists who cover the White House. Trump’s invitation to the event had been controversial given his frequent personal attacks on reporters and the news media in general. The Hilton was also the site of another attack on a president when on the afternoon of March 30, 1981, gunman John Hinckley Jr. shot and wounded President Ronald Reagan while he was leaving the hotel. Reagan recovered after a stay in the hospital. Reagan’s press secretary, James Brady, also was wounded, as were police officer Thomas Delahanty and Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy. Details of the shooter’s motive and plan Saturday were not immediately clear. Trump said the public would know much more about him in the coming days. Trump was injured in an assassination attempt during a campaign stop in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024. Another suspected assassin was arrested near Trump’s home in Florida on Sept. 15 of that year. Jonathan Shorman contributed to this report.

"This was an event dedicated to freedom of speech that was supposed to bring together members of both parties with members of the press, and in a certain way it did, because the fact that they just unified," Trump said at a White House press briefing. "I saw a room that was just totally unified. It was, in one way, very beautiful, a very beautiful thing to see." Trump's comments came after he confirmed that the dinner would be canceled in accordance with security protocol despite how he "fought like hell" to have it continue. He reiterated his intention to have the event rescheduled within the next month. An assailant rushed security at the Washington Hilton Saturday night, shooting a Secret Service officer, who was hit in his bulletproof vest and survived. The suspect was apprehended and has been charged with multiple felonies. The gunfire led to Trump and the Cabinet at the dinner being evacuated, and the dinner will be rescheduled. WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT ANNOUNCES EVENT BEING RESCHEDULED AFTER SHOOTING Adding to the strangeness of the scene at the White House, Trump and many of the White House figures and reporters in the room were still wearing tuxedos and dresses after coming from the black tie dinner. "I think it’s very important that I say, though, and I told the representatives of the evening they did such a beautiful job. It was such a beautiful evening. And again, they’re talking about free speech in our Constitution. That’s what it’s all about, not just White House correspondents. It was really based on free speech in our Constitution. But I said very importantly that we’ll do it again within the next 30 days. And we'll make it bigger and better and even nicer. So I just want to thank everybody that was involved. I also want to thank the press, the media. You’ve been very responsible in your coverage. I will say I’ve been seeing what’s been out, and you’ve been very responsible," Trump said. Trump also took questions from members of the press. The first was from White House Correspondents' Association president Weijia Jiang, where he took the opportunity to compliment the CBS correspondent for the evening. TRUMP, FIRST LADY EVACUATED FROM WH CORRESPONDENTS’ DINNER AFTER GUNSHOTS HEARD "I just want to say you did a fantastic job. What a beautiful evening. And we’re going to reschedule. And after that, it’s very tough for her to ask a killer question, but you have done a fantastic job," Trump said. Jiang asked Trump his thoughts in the moment as the chaos unfolded, given his experience with assassination attempts. Trump said it was always a shocking event, no matter when it happened. Trump also shared an image of the suspect being arrested from his Truth Social account.

A gunman opened fire outside the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C., where celebrities, members of the press and administration officials had gathered, prompting a swift security response. The suspect is in custody and has not been identified. One Secret Service agent was reportedly shot in their protective vest but is uninjured. The incident unfolded near a security screening area, prompting a rapid response from Secret Service agents and law enforcement. The shooting comes amid a more than 60-day funding stalemate in Congress over the Department of Homeland Security — a lapse driven by Democrats blocking funding bills and rejecting multiple GOP-backed proposals to reopen the department. TRUMP RUSHED AWAY FROM WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER AS SHOTS FIRED The funding standoff centers on disputes over immigration enforcement policy and has raised concerns about resources for agencies including the Secret Service, FEMA and the U.S. Coast Guard. The Secret Service, which is responsible for protecting the president, vice president, their families and other senior U.S. officials, along with visiting heads of state, has faced growing demands in recent years. The incident adds to a growing list of threats against Trump, including two confirmed assassination attempts and a recent incident involving an armed intruder at Mar-a-Lago. DHS SHUTDOWN LOOMS OVER MAR-A-LAGO SHOOTING AS SECRET SERVICE AGENTS NEUTRALIZE ARMED SUSPECT Senate Democrats declined to fund DHS through regular appropriations earlier this year following a deadly January incident involving immigration officers, triggering a funding lapse that has now stretched beyond 60 days. Negotiations remain stalled. Democrats are seeking changes to DHS operations, while Republicans are relying on alternative funding to continue enforcement. Republicans are also considering funding the department for the remainder of Trump’s term through budget reconciliation, the same process used for immigration funding last year. The shooting also comes as the Secret Service faces increasing pressure during a high-threat election cycle. Last week, Secret Service Director Sean Curran warned lawmakers the agency is not adequately staffed to handle the demands of the upcoming FIFA World Cup, the 2028 Olympics and the 2028 presidential cycle, underscoring mounting concerns about staffing and resources. As more details emerge from the investigation into this latest shooting, questions continue to mount over whether the Secret Service has the resources needed to handle an increasingly complex threat environment.

More than 40 years ago, the Washington Hilton was the site of the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan on March 30, 1981 — a striking historical parallel as Trump was rushed from the same hotel Saturday night after gunfire erupted. It remains unclear if Trump was targeted in the chaos on Saturday evening.  John Hinckley Jr. fired six shots at Reagan after he delivered remarks to members of the AFL-CIO. One of the bullets ricocheted off the presidential limousine and struck Reagan in the chest. Secret Service agents pushed Reagan into a car and was quickly rushed to the George Washington University Hospital. He was famously known for being in good humor when he was about to undergo treatment. TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT: SECRET SERVICE KNEW AIRSPACE PROTECTION WOULD END WITH FORMER PRESIDENT ONSTAGE Three other people were also hit, including press secretary James Brady, a police officer and a Secret Service agent.  Brady was shot in the eye and suffered brain damage. He ultimately died in 2014, and law enforcement officials ruled his death a homicide due to its connection to the 1981 shooting. The hotel has since been dubbed by locals as the "Hinckley Hilton." Hinckley was acquitted of attempting to assassinate the president as a result of an insanity defense. His attorneys pointed to his narcissistic personality disorder and referenced his obsession with the movie "Taxi Driver" and actress Jodie Foster as the inspiration for the attack. President Trump returned to the White House and is set to deliver a statement in the White House Briefing Room.

The Gilbert native captured the hearts of the Valley hockey community during her courageous, 18-month battle with cancer. She was honored on Hockey Fights Cancer Night on Nov. 16, 2019, and signed an honorary one-day contract with the team that same night. Three months after she died at age 9 on Nov. 24, 2020, Arizona Kachinas president and co-founder Lyndsey Fry launched Skatin’ for Leighton with a 96-mile skate across the Valley to raise awareness and funds for the Leighton Accardo Memorial Fund. And two months after that, the Coyotes inducted Accardo into their ring of honor, making her the only non-player or staff member inducted. So, when the Coyotes relocated to Salt Lake City after the 2023-24 season, Accardo’s parents, Jeremy and Carly, had a concern. “When they moved, it kind of felt like we were going to lose a little bit of the support,” Jeremy Accardo said. “I was concerned that the event (Skatin’ for Leighton) would lose its support as well, but I was very wrong,” Carly Accardo added. Thanks to the efforts of Fry, the Accardo family and the greater hockey community, Skatin’ for Leighton and Leighton’s legacy are alive and thriving. Now in its sixth year, Skatin’ for Leighton will take place at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick on Sunday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event will feature a year-end celebration for the Kachinas, the all-girls youth hockey program for which Accardo played. It will also feature the usual skating portion, but Fry has added other elements as well. There will be signed jerseys available for auction from NHL stars Jack Hughes, Quinn Hughes, Macklin Celebrini, Clayton Keller and Alex Ovechkin. There will be a dunk tank, and the event will also have a significant baseball component. Participants at Skatin’ for Leighton can play stickball and get signatures from former MLB players J.J. Hardy, Jonny Gomes and Daniel Hudson. “When Leighton was young and she was playing hockey, she was not only just a standout hockey player and a standout figure skater. She was also a standout baseball player,” said Jeremy Accardo, a Mesa High School graduate who pitched eight seasons in the majors and is now the pitching coach at Arizona State. “So it’s more than just hockey. I think last year our entire ASU baseball team came out. Guys that I played with in pro ball came out.” Leighton Accardo with Arizona Kachinas coach and Skatin’ for Leighton founder Lyndsey Fry. (Photo courtesy of Lyndsey Fry) Skatin’ for Leighton’s central focus is to honor Leighton’s legacy while fundraising for girls youth hockey, but the way that looks has changed dramatically. “The first year was just Lyndsey skating 96 miles across the Valley, hitting every single rink and I was bringing in sponsorship and donations,” Carly Accardo said. “Once we took the event and included the public, we started including the bigger auction items and other ways to raise money.” Skatin’ for Leighton takes significant time and energy to plan between finding a venue, coordinating schedules, finding sponsors, contracting vendors, holding an auction and more. The Coyotes used to provide much of this support, but with the organization leaving for Utah, there was uncertainty regarding the future of Skatin’ for Leighton. “Frankly, without the Coyotes and just access to staffing and access to, you know, those things that were kind of donated in kind by the Coyotes and by the foundation, it takes a lot of volunteer work,” Fry said. For Fry, uncertainty is no longer a concern. “Not having the NHL team here has actually, I think, elevated the event in the sense that now that it’s not just like one team that we have rally around us,” Fry said. “We’re getting support from teams all over the country.” The continued support from the hockey community makes the effort worthwhile and rewarding for all involved.  “It still kind of means something for us to have that as a platform to tell her story, to get more people into hockey, to give kids opportunities to play and just grow as human beings,” Jeremy Accardo said. As the event expands its footprint into youth hockey and baseball, so does the buy-in from these communities. Skatin’ for Leighton has attracted up to 180 participants in a single year. “It raises money for the Leighton Accardo (Memorial) Fund, and that scholarship fund helps put girls that might not be able to pay for hockey through the Kachinas program,” Carly Accardo said. “It’s no secret that hockey is expensive. It’s borderline silly expensive, and we don’t want financials to be the reason that a girl can’t play this amazing game of hockey.” The more people show up for Skatin’ for Leighton, the more the Accardo family and Fry are assured that Leighton’s name will live on. “We will never not honor her and everything that she kind of represented for our community,” Fry said. While Skatin’ for Leighton aims to benefit as many girls as possible, the Accardo family has one goal they strive for every year, inspired, of course, by Leighton. “I always like the goal, just because Leighton’s number was 49, of (raising) $49,000,” Carly Accardo said.As more funds are raised, more girls will have the opportunity to write their own story in the sport of hockey.

At one point during the interview, Reese admitted she would rather take a fine than speak to reporters after games. "The media has not always been great for me. And I'll take a fine. I'll catch a fine, especially in a WNBA. I'll have a fine before I have to go to media and feel like my back is against the wall," Reese said, while Obama repeatedly expressed agreement by saying "mhm," and "yeah." WNBA players are required by their collective bargaining agreement (CBA), which was just signed weeks ago so players can get higher salaries, to be available to the media post-game. Failure to adhere to these rules can lead to fines, such as a $10,000 fine for skipping required sessions. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Obama's brother and former college basketball player Craig Robinson, who co-hosts the podcast, told Reese during the interview that the sports media tries to "manufacture some stuff." "Sports is like reality TV. The media wants to manufacture some stuff. And I just want you to know that I noticed how you’ve handled yourself and it has been absolutely with aplomb," Robinson said. Reese later went on to say that she nowadays likes to turn her phone off when she comes home after Obama asked her how she stays sane. "I love being able just to come home and turn my phone off and just relax," Reese said. "I think the maturity of just understanding like social media isn't real... years prior I would comment back at things and let things continue to bother me." CAITLIN CLARK RETURNS TO WNBA COMPETITION AFTER 2025 INJURY IN FEVER PRESEASON GAME Reese went on to claim that she can't even "go to the grocery store" anymore. Obama previously commented on the attention surrounding Reese and her longtime rival Caitlin Clark in a podcast appearance last year. During an August appearance on the podcast "All the Smoke with Matt Barnes & Stephen Jackson," Obama spoke during a group discussion about the impact of the Clark-Reese drama on the WNBA's popularity, the impact on the players' well-beings and "hate" involved. "I think the tough thing is the social media element to it. But that's true across the board. I mean, we've talked about this on our show; it just takes a normal occurrence. These young kids today, what they have to go through, what they have to be able to withstand, because social media is such a huge part of the world," Obama said.  "There's the hate. But now the hate is in your room, on your phone, with you all the time. And you can't, for whatever reason, tell these kids to turn it off, because they're making their living that way. I mean, now they are expected to stay engaged. So, I think that makes it feel even worse. But I think, as you point out, that's happening in sports across gender. It's just harder not to withstand other people's horrible, horrible opinions."  Obama, like her brother, also previously compared ESPN to reality TV during an episode of her brother's podcast "IMO" in July. "It’s all a sociological study. They think that sports is better reality TV, I’m like, ‘It’s the same thing.' If I listen to ESPN for an hour, it’s like watching the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta,’ you know?" Obama said. "It’s the same drama, and they’re yelling at each other, and they don’t get along, you know?" Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Or, in this case, one heck of a cheap shot. The Senators are a team that has no problem with mixing it up, and that can be a good skill set in the postseason. I mean, the Florida Panthers just won back-to-back Cups doing it. However, you've got to make sure you don't cross the line, and Senators forward Ridly Greig did just that. NORTH CAROLINA GOV CROSS-CHECKS DEVILS AFTER LOSS TO HURRICANES: 'TOO GOOD FOR SUCH DIRTY PLAY' First, Greig had a hand in ramping up the intensity in Game 4 when he ran over Carolina netminder Frederik Andersen. That’s a slam-dunk, no-question-about-it penalty, and while it’s not classy, it’s not outside the scope of what you’ll see in the playoffs — especially in an elimination game. However, that animosity boiled over later in the period, and that's when Greig dropped one of the dirtiest moves I think I've seen all season. NFL ALL-PRO DEFENDER SEES 'BOTH SIDES' OF TREVOR LAWRENCE HIT: 'IT'S TRICKY' Things got completely out of hand, and Greig and teammate Warren Foegele got tied up with Carolina's Sean Walker. Foegele got Walker in a headlock, and Greig disengaged... at least momentarily. Because with Walker tied up, Greig delivered a vicious uppercut straight to his chops. PARENTS CHARGED AFTER BRAWL AT YOUTH STREET HOCKEY TOURNAMENT IN NEW JERSEY Dude... seriously? That's about as cheap and as dirty as it gets. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Believe it or not, out of all of that, there were only three minor penalties, and two of them went to Carolina's Nic Deslauriers. So Greig got away with that one on the ice, but he could still be facing a potential suspension and an almost certain fine. The Senators ended up losing this one 4-2, so their season is over, and the Canes will move on to face the winner of the Flyers-Penguins series, which Philadelphia has a chance to sweep on Saturday night. But, if Greig is suspended — and I think that was definitely suspension-worthy — he'll have to serve it at the start of next season.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ed5c9e059ccda1fcc29bbd Steelers pick Navy RB Eli Heidenreich, fans at Pittsburgh NFL Draft go totally bonkers te 2026-04-26T00:30:22.798Z Steelers pick Navy RB Eli Heidenreich, fans at Pittsburgh NFL Draft go totally bonkers Perhaps the most compelling moment of the 2026 NFL Draft came in the final round, when the Pittsburgh Steelers selected running back Eli Heidenreich and the pick was announced to the hometown crowd gathered at the event. The excitement, palpable from the moment Heidenreich was shown on camera, wasn’t because he’s an accomplished college running back. Nor was it because his athletic ability has scouts comparing him to San Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey — only bigger and stronger. The crowd went nuts because Heidenreich played for the United States Naval Academy. And having waited for three days in the NFL's green room backstage, Heidenreich emerged in his Full Dress Blue uniform worn by midshipmen at formal functions. NFL ROOKIES BROUGHT TO TEARS AFTER SURPRISE VIDEOS, SIGNED JERSEYS FROM TOM BRADY AND OTHER FOOTBALL LEGENDS Heidenreich put on a Steelers cap and saluted. Soon after, he hugged NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and took official photos with a Steelers helmet. The crowd went bonkers. "That excitement with Eli," Steelers general manager Omar Khan said, "I mean, I wasn't expecting to see that on TV and you can't help but get emotional when you saw that at the end. But truly, truly, truly awesome ..." The NFL, being the public relations steamroller it is, decided to milk the moment for everything it was worth. League handlers gave Heidenreich a chance to walk through the crowd and dap up the adoring fans. Then they brought Heidenreich to the ESPN set for an interview. That’s right: the 230th overall pick — an otherwise routine pick in the final round — was treated like royalty, perhaps because fans understood that the United States and its Navy and other military forces are conducting operations in the Middle East. Oh, yeah, did we mention Heidenreich is from Pittsburgh? NFL DRAFT EMOTIONAL REACTIONS: ROOKIES REALIZING THEIR DREAM CAME TRUE PULLS AT FANS' HEARTSTRINGS This script just keeps getting upgrades with every rewrite. Heidenreich is scheduled to graduate from the Naval Academy in May. Had the NFL not come through as a possibility, he planned to start his five-year commitment to serve as an officer in the Marine Corps. But Heidenreich understood that commitment would wait when, earlier in the seventh round, he got calls from teams wanting to sign him as an undrafted free agent. "I actually committed to a team," Heidenreich said. Then the Steelers called to tell him about their plans to pick him. DEFENSIVE TACKLE KAYDEN MCDONALD CRIES AN OCEAN OF TEARS AT DRAFT So he will initiate a 10-year service contract with the Marine Corps that will allow him to defer his service while he pursues his professional football career. "I'm thankful that they gave me this opportunity," Heidenreich said. "I initially committed to them for five years of service afterward, but they're allowing me the opportunity to go out and pursue this football career first and give my service later. So, I'm thankful for that. "But to be able to represent them — the United States Marine Corps, the United States Navy, I mean, just the military as a whole — it's an honor and something I don't take lightly." Heidenreich comes from great stock. His grandfather, Chris Heidenreich, was a naval officer, and his uncle, Chip Heidenreich, served as a corpsman with the Marines. And now Eli Heidenreich, among the best of what this latter American generation has to offer, carries on the family tradition. But only after he gives professional football a chance. "I'm grateful," Heidenreich said, "that I have the opportunity to be able to go out and do that in the NFL."
