The account is detailed in an FBI Form 302 interview report, which documents interactions between federal agents and witnesses, and is part of a broader tranche of previously classified unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) records made public Friday as part of the Trump administration’s push to declassify government files on them.  The objects were detected as "super-hot" on infrared systems and traveled roughly 20 miles at speeds the helicopter could not match, according to the report, before abruptly changing direction and accelerating away. UFO EXPERT WARNS MYSTERY CRAFT ARE OUTMANEUVERING US MILITARY IN RESTRICTED AIRSPACE The release has drawn significant attention, as it includes previously unseen reports involving military personnel, sensor data and firsthand accounts from government officials — though many of the incidents remain unexplained. The official was among multiple federal and state personnel involved in an aerial search after earlier sightings of unexplained lights, according to the report. The object was detected as "super-hot" on infrared systems, indicating it emitted a strong heat signature detectable by thermal imaging equipment.  The report does not offer an explanation for the source of that heat, and was observed traveling roughly 20 miles at a speed too fast for the helicopter to match.  The report does not identify the specific military facility or location of the encounter, and it is unclear from the document whether the helicopter involved was operated by U.S. military personnel or a partner agency.  The FBI summary describes a joint operation involving federal and state personnel, but does not provide additional detail about the units involved. At one point, one of the objects reportedly came within roughly 10 feet of the helicopter before abruptly changing direction. Observers, including the intelligence official and helicopter crew, also reported the object splitting into multiple lights, followed by additional orbs appearing in sequence and forming repeated patterns across the sky. Witnesses described groups of four or five glowing objects flaring into view and then disappearing, a cycle that continued for roughly 30 minutes. Pilots involved in the search indicated they were recording, but many of the sightings occurred above the helicopter and outside the camera’s field of view. The documents are part of a sweeping public release of UAP files that has drawn intense interest and skepticism. Officials and analysts say that while some incidents were treated as credible and investigated using military assets, the material does not offer definitive explanations for what the objects are. While many of the newly released files contain brief or heavily redacted accounts, the FBI interview stands out for its detailed timeline, multiple trained observers and the use of infrared systems, night-vision equipment and aircraft during an active search operation. The report also includes a first-hand account from a senior intelligence official, which is uncommon among the largely anecdotal or historical records in the broader release. Skeptics say many UAP sightings can be attributed to misidentified aircraft, drones, atmospheric phenomena or sensor artifacts, particularly in complex environments where infrared and night-vision systems can distort how objects appear. Physicist and former director of the Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office Sean Kirkpatrick said he didn't find anything "unexpected" in the files. "There’s nothing unexpected in their release. And without any analysis or context, [it] will only serve to fuel more speculation, conspiracy and armchair pseudoscience, particularly from the playhouse politics theater company," he said, according to the Scientific American.  TRUMP ADMIN RELEASES HIGHLY ANTICIPATED FILES DOCUMENTING UFOS, 'EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE' The release also comes amid growing concern inside the Pentagon over unexplained aerial activity near sensitive military installations, including suspected foreign surveillance operations and unauthorized drone incursions linked to China and Russia. Defense officials repeatedly warned in recent years that some incidents initially categorized as UAP could ultimately involve foreign intelligence collection platforms, advanced drones or other surveillance systems operating near U.S. military sites. The issue drew renewed attention after a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon crossed the continental United States in 2023 before being shot down by the U.S. military, exposing gaps in detection and monitoring around sensitive defense infrastructure. Lawmakers and defense officials also have raised alarms about repeated drone incursions near military bases, training ranges and nuclear facilities, warning that some unidentified aerial activity may reflect increasingly sophisticated foreign surveillance efforts rather than extraterrestrial phenomena. "The latest UAP videos, photos, and original source documents from across the entire United States government are all in one place — no clearance required," the White House said in a statement announcing the release. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said the records had "long fueled justified speculation" and argued "it’s time the American people see it for themselves," while cautioning that many of the documents contain unresolved incidents rather than confirmed explanations. Other files released by the Department of War include reports of a "football-shaped" object observed over the East China Sea, erratic lights tracked over Iraq and Syria, and Apollo-era astronaut communications describing strange objects and bright fragments visible near the moon. The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for more details.

The tripleheader will begin with an early morning (on the east coast of the United States) game in Munich that will feature the Detroit Lions and a team that will be announced on Thursday, and proceed with another game in the 1 p.m. window and then another game in the 4 p.m. window. Yes, that's a lot of NFL football of Fox in Week 10 of the upcoming season. TRUMP UNHAPPY WITH NFL STREAMING COSTS FOR FANS "The NFL has been a key partner with Fox for more than 30 years in what is a mutually beneficial relationship," Murdoch said on the call. "To underscore this relationship with the NFL, yesterday, Fox acquired rights to two additional NFL games in national windows for this coming season. 'The first will appear in Week 10. They're both national games ... That'll give us, I think it's the overseas game from Munich. That'll give us a tripleheader that Sunday, which I think will be the first tripleheader on broadcast TV in history." Murdoch said the second game Fox has acquired will be telecast on a Saturday in Week 15. BROADCAST INDUSTRY CEO SAYS CONSOLIDATION IS 'ESSENTIAL' TO COMPETE FOR NFL SOARING MEDIA RIGHTS PRICES The additional games for the network speak for themselves, but Murdoch and Chief Financial Officer Steve Tomsic were asked about possible tension between Fox and the NFL and whether the media giant expects the league to try to renegotiate its current contract in the wake of various media reports.

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP  "I think the important note to take here, and this goes to your second question, is there is no tension really with the NFL," he said. "We're partners for 30 years. We're looking forward to being partners for the next 30 years. You know, as we've noted before, we have four years left on our current deal. "We've read the speculation that the NFL would like to renegotiate and extend the current deal or the current deals that are in the marketplace, but we've had no substantive discussions with the NFL about that. It's hard apart from what we've read in the press around speculation around that. I wouldn't want to add to that speculation at all." Murdoch, indeed, wants the relationship with the NFL to continue to bloom if the environment allows. "...We'd like to sort of broaden and deepen our relationship with the NFL, but we'll only do so in a disciplined way," he said. "You know, really takes some, creates value for a long-term shareholder value for our shareholders."

CBS News' Major Garrett asked Netanyahu if he believed it was time for Israel to reset its financial relationship with the United States and the prime minister agreed, saying he even raised the issue with President Donald Trump.  "Absolutely. And I've said this to President Trump," Netanyahu said. "I've said it in — to our own people."  He told CBS it was time for his country to wean itself off both the financial and military support from the U.S. NEW STUDY PROPOSES MAJOR SHIFT IN US-ISRAEL STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP APPROACH AWAY FROM AID "I want to draw down to zero the American financial support, the financial component of the military cooperation that we have," Netanyahu said. "Because we receive $3.8 billion a year. And I think that it's time that we weaned ourselves from the remaining military support."  When pressed about a timeline for when this could occur, he said over the next decade. "I said, let's start now and do it over the next decade, over the next ten years, but I want to start now," the Israeli leader said. "I don't want to wait for the next Congress. I want to start now."  NETANYAHU WARNS OF ‘EIGHTH FRONT’ IDEOLOGICAL BATTLE FOR AMERICAN HEARTS AND MINDS WITH CHRISTIAN LEADERS Netanyahu argued that the dramatic shift in public opinion in his country could be traced to the rise in social media. "Israel has gone to unbelievable lengths to get innocent civilians out of harm's way," he said. "We text message millions of text messages to them—make millions of phone calls to them, pamphlets, leaflets, you name it, OK? We have seen the deterioration of the support for Israel in the United States almost — I would say, it correlates almost 100% with the geometric rise of social media." "And that, by itself, is not what caused it," Netanyahu continued. "And I don't believe in, you know, in censoring them or anything. But I'll tell you what happened. We have several countries that basically manipulated social media. And they do it in a clever way. And that's something that has hurt us badly."

"There are still enrichment sites that have to be dismantled. There are still proxies that Iran supports. There are ballistic missiles that they still want to produce." "Now, we've degraded a lot of it. But all that is still there, and there's work to be done," he added.

The lawsuit names Artists Equity, a production company founded by the two stars, as well as Falco Pictures, which was also involved in producing the movie. Netflix, which distributed the movie, is not named in the lawsuit. "The Rip" was advertised as "inspired by true events," including how the Miami-Dade narcotics unit found $21.9 million hidden behind a false wall in orange buckets. However, according to the lawsuit, the core plot about their criminal misconduct is fabricated. FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X In real life, investigators made the seizure at the home of a gardening supply store owner suspected of taking part in a marijuana trafficking ring in 2016, according to the lawsuit. It was the largest cash seizure in the history of the Miami-Dade Police Department, now the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office. In the movie, members of the narcotics unit face suspicion for allegedly stealing some of the money under false pretenses and for their own benefit. It also depicts a fictional DEA agent implicated in the murder of a Miami police lieutenant, who himself is killed by Affleck's character later, without due process. Read the complaint: SIGN UP TO GET TRUE CRIME NEWSLETTER While the film had a fictionalized twist, the lawsuit contends that it included enough real-world facts to damage the reputations of Jason Smith and Jonathan Santana, including location settings, details about the false wall, the cash being found in orange buckets, and a loaded Tech 9 firearm stashed with the cash. BEN AFFLECK AND MATT DAMON CRITICIZE CANCEL CULTURE'S PERMANENT CONSEQUENCES Smith was the sergeant supervising the real investigation. Santana was the lead detective and has since been promoted to sergeant as well. Their names are not used in the movie, but the lawsuit alleges they were the basis for the characters Damon and Affleck play on screen. SEND US A TIP HERE According to the lawsuit, after the movie trailer's release, a county prosecutor contacted one of them asking, "whether any allegations of theft had ever been made in connection with the case, and further stated that his office would be looking into it." They allege they have also faced questions about "how many buckets they kept," whether they used stolen money to pay for home improvements, and the lieutenant's murder. LISTEN TO THE NEW 'CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO' PODCAST "I can’t believe you killed another cop," a county prosecutor allegedly told one of the plaintiffs after the movie came out, according to the lawsuit. On top of that, the film allegedly credited a department member who had no connection to the investigation and was paid for his consulting. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? FIND MORE ON THE TRUE CRIME HUB Smith and Santana are seeking damages exceeding $75,000 for allegations of defamation and emotional distress. The lawsuit also accuses Hollywood as a whole of negatively depicting police on screen, noting that police departments around the country are struggling with hiring and officer retention. Damon and Affleck themselves have publicly said police are "underappreciated" and "underfunded" in an interview with Howard Stern promoting the movie. Prior to the lawsuit, they had asked for a public retraction and correction and either a prominent disclaimer attached to the film or an end to its distribution. The film's producers countered that it was a fictionalized movie that carried a disclaimer already and that the characters are not real people. Lawyers for Smith and Santana have until tomorrow to file an amended complaint to satisfy the judge's jurisdiction concerns, according to court documents. If they fail to meet the deadline, the case would be dismissed.

During an appearance on the "Howie Mandel Does Stuff" podcast, the "Landman" actor, 70, explained why he's never been one to use his Hollywood platform to force political or personal beliefs on others. "I don't know anything about politics," Thornton said. "I have no idea. And the stuff that I do believe, I don't want to force it down somebody else's throat because I'm not an expert on that."

During an interview on "The Joe Rogan Experience" in November, Thornton shared he doesn't really "care about awards anymore," saying he's "got plenty of them" and won most of them "under the wire, when awards were kind of real still." "I've won a couple recently," he said. "But these days I just look at it as like, 'Oh, OK, we're gonna go over here and, you know, have some dry chicken breast and green beans, you know, and we'll listen to people get up there and pontificate about how awesome they are.'"

"And people would argue and say, 'Well, no, because I have a voice and because everybody knows me. This is a great platform for me to put this out there.'" "Well, how about this?

That's the accent they were looking for, and I never really heard that. I grew up down there." Thornton later noted that while he initially struggled, he could later have his pick of roles after he rose to fame and established himself as a bankable actor. "Here's what it is," he said. "Once you're successful, I could walk into Universal Studios and say I wanna play Bette Davis.

Toward the end of the Biden presidency, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Supply Chain Report revealed that China produces 50% of crop protection products. Relying on China for tools essential to our food production is a risk we should avoid whenever possible. President Trump removed that risk by invoking the Defense Production Act to compel domestic production of glyphosate-based herbicides and elemental phosphorus, classifying them as essential to national security and food supply chain resilience. The order noted that shortages of glyphosate, the primary ingredient in the herbicide Roundup, which is made by Bayer, would threaten agricultural productivity and food safety. As a seventh-generation Indiana farmer, I can attest to just how important glyphosate is to our operations. Our farm started using the crop protection tool as soon as it became available just over 50 years ago, and now, three generations later, our corn yields have tripled because of its benefits. THE $1,600 LETTUCE: CALIFORNIA GROWERS WARN OF ‘MASTER PLAN’ STRANGLING FAMILY FARMS Domestic production of glyphosate means the U.S. can secure a stable, predictable supply independent of external pressures, unlike what we are currently experiencing with fertilizer shipments passing through the Strait of Hormuz. It keeps the industrial base, expertise and regulatory oversight at home while supporting U.S. employment. In strategic terms, this is similar to arguments for domestic production of semiconductors or critical drugs. If glyphosate were to disappear, China would control our crop protection market. Imagine a war breaking out in the South China Sea between Taiwan and China and the impact on our access to crop protection products. That would mean food insecurity right here in the United States. China could always cut off the spigot and withhold sufficient amounts of the product, significantly jeopardizing our food supply and leading to serious economic and environmental damage. As I witnessed when serving as the U.N. ambassador to the Food Agencies, all societies are only three meals from chaos, and it is inexcusable to see that ever happen again in America. Glyphosate is still the most widely used herbicide in American row-crop agriculture, especially in corn, soybeans, cotton and canola. The tool enables effective weed control on hundreds of millions of acres, supporting high and stable yields. It helps keep production costs affordable and more predictable, which keeps food prices more stable and resilient for consumers.  CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION It also has positive environmental impacts by facilitating no-till farming, which has increased wildlife habitats and significantly reduced soil erosion and crop nutrient loss, improving our ecosystems. I also bear the responsibility for handling and applying glyphosate for the past 50 years and am confident that my children and now grandchildren are responsible for its use and their own safety. These are all benefits we have enjoyed on our operations in Indiana, and they have enabled U.S. farmers to provide enough food for our own citizens and the world. Health risks would also increase if the product were unavailable to farmers. Glyphosate is one of the key tools for managing invasive, noxious and poisonous weeds that pose direct risks to human and animal health. Certain weeds are not merely pests; they are health hazards. People die from exposure to them. I can still feel the weight of a tragedy that occurred in Uganda during my time as ambassador, where nearly 30 mothers and infants lost their lives after receiving food aid we believed would help them. The grain had come from Turkey, carrying noxious weeds from the fields, and without glyphosate treatment, those toxins found their way into the cereal we delivered. It’s a memory that stays with me, a reminder of how devastating even a small failure in the chain can be and how essential glyphosate is to food safety. With China having such a strong hold on global crop protection tools, the extraordinary step taken by President Trump through his executive order was necessary to secure America’s food system.

The first time I've ever given one out publicly, and I fall flat on my face. I suppose the consolation is that if you followed me all week last week and played that, you also hit eight straight bets. The good and bad of sports betting, I suppose. Tonight, we get Game 4 between the Thunder and Lakers in what has been a disappointing second round of the NBA Playoffs. The Oklahoma City Thunder are going to win the NBA Championship, barring any sort of injury. It likely will be them over the Knicks in five or six games. The Thunder are just too deep of a team. They play defense, they have good shooting, they have a go-to scorer, and they've already won a championship, so they know what it takes. With so much talent, why does everyone hate the Thunder so much? Oklahoma City has a narrative problem. People don't watch the NBA, or sports in general, the same way they used to. Most people make judgments on highlights and random tweets that people put out. The narrative around the Thunder is that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander isn't good; he just looks for fouls. It is also that the Thunder get every call from the refs. Isolated plays make it easy to make broad statements, but I watch all the games I can. The Thunder are a great team, and they are aggressive. Sometimes that's rewarded because they are actually trying on defense as opposed to what most teams do. The Los Angeles Lakers have no real shot of winning the series, and they probably knew that coming in. Their only hope was to get the referees on their side. Are there legitimate complaints about some calls? Of course. However, the Lakers are complainers to begin with and have always gotten a favorable whistle. They have shot more free throws than their opponent in two of the three games in this series. FLOPPING IS RUINING THE NBA AND LEBRON SHOULD TAKE SOME BLAME FOR THAT If there was a gripe to be made, it would need to be something like "We've driven the ball more than the Thunder and are getting fewer free throws." The Lakers have driven the ball 120 times this series. The Thunder have 148 drives. There have been questionable calls made in favor of the Thunder, but there are some in favor of the Lakers as well. What has been lost in all of this is just how great the Thunder are playing. They are 7-0 in the playoffs and have won every game by nine or more points. Their average margin of victory in this series has been 26 points. In the playoffs overall, the average has been 21 points. The spread in this game is just -10.5 for the Thunder. I think the Lakers have given up. They are spending too much time complaining about the referees because they have no other chance to beat the Thunder. Give me Oklahoma City -10.5. I also like Ajay Mitchell over 16.5 points. He has been phenomenal this series, averaging 20.7 points per game and never scoring fewer than 18 in a game. Part of the reason the Thunder are so good is that they hit on picks like Mitchell, a second-round pick.

Darrell Issa, R-Calif., has introduced a resolution aimed at reversing the two impeachments of President Donald Trump in the House of Representatives in a move he says will rectify a situation where Democrats used "knowingly false" claims in a partisan attempt to destroy the president’s reputation.  The resolution, H.Res.1211, referred to the House Judiciary Committee, declares that both of Donald Trump’s impeachments, approved by the House in 2019 and 2021, should be formally "expunged as if such Article had never passed the full House of Representatives." "The fact is that the Constitution doesn't spell out what to do when you've wrongfully indicted somebody, an impeachment is basically an indictment and it's an indictment that you can't really be acquitted from, if you are impeached by the House, famously where do you where do you go to get your reputation back is the question," Issa told Fox News Digital. "And that’s sort of a problem that we're dealing with, which is that the President was wrongfully accused, the evidence is now out that there was withheld information and false information, but where do we go to unring this bell? And the answer is we go back to Congress and we go to the House floor and we have a vote." GREGG JARRETT: LONG-HIDDEN DOCUMENTS REVEAL FIRST TRUMP IMPEACHMENT WAS A TOTAL FRAUD "More importantly," Issa explained, is that he hopes his process will "make sure that the facts and the reality that there was misconduct in the process gets a hearing" because that’s "really where this becomes a big deal is that we really have to make our case in front of Congress and in front of the American people."  The resolution makes the case that the 2019 impeachment was based on unreliable and politically biased information, pointing to newly declassified material that it says undermines the credibility of the anonymous whistleblower whose complaint triggered the inquiry.  It contends the whistleblower lacked firsthand knowledge, was assisted by other officials with alleged political bias, and that House investigators mishandled or misrepresented evidence while denying Trump the opportunity to confront his accusers. LAWYER OF WHISTLEBLOWER IN TRUMP IMPEACHMENT CASE SUES ADMINISTRATION OVER REVOKED SECURITY CLEARANCE In a press release earlier this year, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced the declassification of documents she says revealed a "coordinated effort" within the intelligence community "to manufacture a conspiracy that was used as the basis to impeach President Trump in 2019." Issa says the Democrats "broke every House rule" in their impeachment quests and a source close to Issa's office told Fox News Digital that prominent Democrats have admitted in private that information revealed since the impeachments "reflects so poorly on the House" and "represents an example of what's gone wrong in the Capitol and in Washington." The resolution argues that the 2021 impeachment was rushed and procedurally flawed, noting that the House moved from introduction to passage in two days and did not conduct a full evidentiary process. While lawmakers held a brief committee hearing with constitutional experts, the measure advanced without fact witnesses or extended investigation, which the resolution says denied Trump basic due process. "They impeached him for essentially an insurrection, a true high crime, and it's false," Issa said. WHITE HOUSE TORCHES DEMOCRATS’ JAN 6 ‘GASLIGHTING’ CLAIMS IN ANNIVERSARY TAKEDOWN Previous attempts have been made to reverse the impeachments, including resolutions in 2022 and 2023, but never received hearings, markups, or floor votes, and died at the end of the 118th Congress.  Issa told Fox News Digital that the previous resolutions were not written as strongly as this one and "didn’t have what we have" which is "the compelling case to say the misconduct of the accusation is now what we're going to have on trial rather than the President because he was impeached with information that the very people who brought it knew was wrong." Additionally, Issa’s effort has the backing of one of the top Republicans in Congress, House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan. "Democrats weaponized impeachment against President Trump with politically motivated charges," Jordan told Fox News Digital. "We applaud Chairman Issa for leading the fight to expunge this sham from the record."  The effort also has strong support from other House Republicans, including a list of over 20 cosponsors that includes: Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., Scott Fitzgerald, R-Wis., Russell Fry, R-S.C., Mark Alford, R-Mo., Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., Tom McClintock, R-Calif., David J. Taylor, R-Ohio, Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., Rick Allen, R-Ga., Rich McCormick, R-Ga., Michael Rulli, R-Ohio, Mary Miller, R-Ill., Mike Collins, R-Ga., Glenn Grothman, R-Wis., Jimmy Patronis, R-Fla., Tracey Mann, R-Kan., Tim Walberg, R-Mich., John Rose, R-Tenn., Joe Wilson, R-S.C., David Rouzer, R-N.C., Diana Harshbarger, R-Tenn., and Ronny Jackson, R-Texas. Issa’s resolution reignites a constitutional argument as to whether the House can retroactively nullify an impeachment it has already adopted. Supporters contend that because the Constitution gives the House the "sole Power of Impeachment," it also has authority over its own records and can vote to expunge prior actions. Critics, including some legal scholars, argue that while the House can express disapproval or annotate its records, it cannot erase the historical fact of an impeachment or undo the constitutional process once it has occurred, making such efforts largely symbolic.  "Our goal is to show that it's false and it was maliciously false and as a result it should no longer stand as as a legitimate accusation to then be played upon when people are saying, ‘No Kings,’" Issa said. "When you've been falsely accused, whether it's days, weeks, months or years later, somebody should be just as interested in printing that retraction on the front page as they were in putting the original charge on the front page," Issa explained. "And that's what we're trying to achieve, is to have the legitimate retraction receive at least some semblance of the same attention as the false accusations did."

Brian Hooker told Bahamian officials that his wife fell off a dinghy after leaving shore at Hope Town at around 7:30 p.m. on April 4, saying that Lynette fell off with the ignition key. Local authorities said that he arrived at a marina at Marsh Harbour at around 4 a.m. on April 5 after paddling to shore, roughly eight hours after his wife went overboard. The couple's sailboat, named "Soulmate," was seized by the U.S. Coast Guard, two sources told CBS News. Brian and Lynette Hooker's sailboat was en route to the U.S. when it was seized by the Coast Guard on Saturday, the outlet reported. In recent days, according to the report, the Coast Guard Investigative Service's probe into Lynette Hooker's disappearance has intensified. Brian Hooker hasn't been charged with a crime. SEND US A TIP HERE The Coast Guard declined to comment when reached by Fox News Digital, citing the active investigation. The development comes about a week after the Coast Guard sought the public's help in finding the owner of a sailboat that was moored near Brian and Lynette Hooker's "Soulmate" in the Bahamas. LISTEN TO THE NEW 'CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO' PODCAST Brian Hooker was detained for five days by Bahamian police after his wife disappeared, but wasn't charged. His Michigan-based attorney previously asked Americans to give him the benefit of the doubt. AMERICAN COUPLE CHASING RETIREMENT DREAM IN BAHAMAS BOATING MYSTERY WERE 'INEXPERIENCED': FRIEND "I would ask those watching to treat him the way you would want to be treated, to give him the benefit of the doubt, and to consider that not all of us, nor you, considering your own relationships, the way you speak to one another, we all handle things in different ways," Crystal Marie Hauser said. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? FIND MORE ON THE TRUE CRIME HUB While Hauser said she imagines Brian Hooker's "heart" is in the Bahamas, she didn't reveal if he has plans to return. Brian Hooker left the island for the U.S. to tend to his "very ill" mother, his Bahamian attorney previously said. After Lynette Hooker went missing, Brian said in a Facebook post that he was "heartbroken." "I am heartbroken over the recent boat accident in unpredictable seas and high winds that caused my beloved Lynette to fall from our small dinghy near Elbow Cay in the Bahamas," he wrote. "Despite desperate attempts to reach her, the winds and currents drove us further apart. We continue to search for her and that is my sole focus." Fox News Digital reached out to Brian's attorneys.

While that sort of payday would be life-changing for the overwhelming majority of humans walking the planet, Reitan is the exception, thanks to his historic and incredibly lucrative family business. The 28-year-old's professional golf journey isn't necessarily a unique one. After passing on playing college golf at the University of Texas and turning professional, he went through European Tour qualifying school in 2018. He then went on to play on the Challenge Tour as well, before earning his DP World Tour card in 2024. In 2025, Reitan won on the DP World Tour for the first time and finished the season ranked eighth in the Race to Dubai standings, giving him a PGA Tour card for 2026, which he has taken full advantage of now with a victory and three other top-15 finishes. RICKIE FOWLER TIES FOR SECOND AT THE TRUIST CHAMPIONSHIP AND THE COMEBACK TALK RETURNS Reitan undoubtedly grinded inside the ropes to where he is today, ranked 25th in the world, but outside the ropes, he didn't exactly have the financial pressures that most do when chasing the dream of playing professional golf at the highest level. Reitan's grandfather is a man by the name of Odd Reitan. Anyone living outside of Scandinavia probably does not recognize the name, but those who do are well aware of Odd and the Reitan family. In 1979, Odd established a grocery chain store called REMA 1000. Eleven years later, every village in Norway with more than 10,000 residents had a REMA 1000 shop before it expanded into Denmark, Hungary, Poland, Sweden and Slovakia before the turn of the 21st century. Odd's son, Ole, is the director of REMA 1000. The chain of grocery stores that Odd now solely owns, known as Reitangruppen, employs 38,000 people. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! In 2004, Reitan Convenience, another endeavor, took charge of the brands Narvesen and 7-Eleven. Two years later, Reitan bought Hydro Texaco in Norway and Denmark, and the investment proved to be a fortunate one, all while Reitan Convenience continued to thrive, before Reitan Kapital was established in 2016. Kristoffer's father, Magnus Reitan, is the CEO of Reitan Kapital. All in all, the Reitan family has taken a very firm hold in five different business areas since the late 1970s, making Odd Reitan and his family the 383rd wealthiest group in the world with a net worth of $9.1 billion, according to Forbes. Today, Reitan Retail encompasses the retail portion of the family business, with nearly 3,600 outlets across seven Nordic and Baltic countries. Golf is a rich sport, but Kristoffer Reitan's family makes even the richest of the rich look poor.

The final episode of Colbert's "The Late Show" will air on Thursday, May 21, and though Colbert and Kimmel are in different time slots, Kimmel told LateNighter that he will not air a new episode on that Thursday. Kimmel did the same in 2015 for David Letterman's finale. Kimmel and other late-night hosts, Seth Meyers, John Oliver and Jimmy Fallon, are set to appear on Colbert's show Monday night. ABC EXTENDS JIMMY KIMMEL'S CONTRACT ANOTHER YEAR FOLLOWING DRAMATIC NETWORK SAGA CBS announced in 2025 that "The Late Show" would be canceled at the end of its season in May. The network cited financial reasons for the show's cancellation at the time. Many politicians and commentators suggested at the time it had to do with pressure from the Trump administration. Colbert said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that while there does not appear to be definitive proof that his show was canceled for political reasons, he thinks it's the most likely explanation. Despite acknowledging the traditional broadcast model was in trouble amid a changing media landscape, he suggested, "There are many people who believe there was another reason. And, as I said in the most measured tones I could muster, there is a reason why people believe that. The network had clearly already done it once by cutting that $16 million check [to the Trump administration]. DEMOCRATS FAWN OVER STEPHEN COLBERT FOR HOLDING 'TRUTH TO POWER' AFTER CBS CANCELS SHOW "Me being canceled reinforced a narrative that CBS already had a nimbus of knee-bending that they had created around themselves, because even their lawyers said there was no reason to cut the check, and then they did and gave no rationale for why they changed their minds. And then, suddenly, they got their broadcast license," Colbert added. Several members of the entertainment industry have paid tribute to Colbert in final appearances on the show, in addition to politicians. Former President Barack Obama sat for an interview with Colbert that aired in early May, where he suggested the liberal late-night host could be a better president than Trump. Late Nighter reported that Fallon's show will air as scheduled on May 21.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a01fd1ba200899a00e9b0af 'Democratic kingmaker' Clyburn warns GOP-led effort to 'break' his district could backfire te 2026-05-11T16:00:27.928Z 'Democratic kingmaker' Clyburn warns GOP-led effort to 'break' his district could backfire Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., cautioned Republicans to be "very careful what you pray for" amid a Trump-backed effort by Republican South Carolina state lawmakers to redraw the state’s map — an effort that would target Clyburn, the lone Democratic member of the state’s U.S. House of Representatives. Deemed a "kingmaker" within the Democratic Party, Clyburn’s endorsement of then–presidential candidate Joe Biden during the 2020 election was widely credited with helping Biden win the presidency. He has been in Congress for more than 30 years, but now faces uncertainty as the South Carolina legislature voted Wednesday to consider redrawing the state’s congressional lines. However, in an interview with CNN's "State of the Union," Clyburn said he believed he would win his seat for an 18th term, adding that if Republicans are successful with their redistricting effort in South Carolina, there are "possibilities of at least three Democrats" being elected to Congress in the state. "I don’t know why people think I could not get reelected if they redistrict South Carolina," Clyburn said. "I have a district that’s about 45 percent African-American. I have no idea what the number will be after the legislature finishes, but whatever that number is, I will be running on my record and America’s promise." GOP GOVERNOR NOMINEE PUSHES REDISTRICTING TO OUST STATE'S LONE HOUSE DEM Clyburn took to X on Thursday, accusing Republicans of trying to "break" his district after the state House voted Wednesday to consider redrawing the state’s congressional map. "Republicans in the South Carolina state legislature began the process of extending their session to allow for the redrawing of the state’s congressional map — with one goal in mind: eliminating the state’s only Democratic House district that is occupied by a Democrat," Clyburn posted on X. "This fight is bigger than one district," Clyburn continued. "It’s about whether our democracy belongs to the people, or to politicians who change the rules when they don’t like the results." A Clyburn spokesperson pointed to the congressman's X posts when reached for additional comment.  The South Carolina legislature vote came in response to the Supreme Court ruling last month in Louisiana v. Callais, which determined in a 6-3 decision that the state’s push to create a second majority-Black district was unconstitutional. The ruling set stricter criteria for establishing a district based on constituents’ racial makeup, creating an opportunity for states to reexamine minority-majority districts first established under the Voting Rights Act. "This decision threatens to send our country deeper into the thicket of never-ending redistricting fights, with repeated aggressive map redraws, protracted legal battles, and relentless partisan tugs-of-war, all of which are destined to result in more regressive Court decisions," Clyburn said of the Supreme Court's ruling. "This Court seems hellbent on redeeming the post-Reconstruction America that neutered the 1875 Civil Rights Act and other legislative and judicial actions that drastically limited Black participation and achievement, and eliminated African American political representation in multiple Southern states," Clyburn continued. Following Clyburn's rallying call to Democrats, a South Carolina House subcommittee on Friday voted 3-2 to advance legislation that would push back the state’s June 9 primary election by two months. The goal is to give the legislature more time to pass its redrawn map, which would give Republicans a 7-0 advantage in the House. However, even if the primary election is pushed back, the effort has been deemed a difficult process and will likely confuse voters, state Election Commission Executive Director Conway Belangia told The State. The South Carolina Election Commission noted that more than 6,000 absentee ballots have already been mailed out to military service members and overseas voters ahead of the June primary, and more than 200 ballots have already been mailed back. BLOCKBUSTER SUPREME COURT VOTING RIGHTS RULING IGNITES REDISTRICTING WAR ACROSS SOUTHERN STATES The state House Judiciary Committee held its own hearing centered on the state’s redistricting push. During the hearing, Belangia estimated that it would cost between $2.2 million and $2.5 million to move the state’s primary to August. House members suggested allocating $2 million in the state's budget next year to cover the expected litigation costs from a legal fight over the map. Fox News Digital reached out to South Carolina's Senate Majority Conference for further comment. South Carolina Republicans’ push to redraw the state’s map is the latest move by GOP-led states to revise congressional districts in an effort to maintain the party’s majority following the midterm elections. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., first suggested weeks ago that South Carolina lawmakers consider targeting Clyburn’s district, responding to Virginia Democrats’ successful push to pass a ballot measure redrawing that state’s congressional map, which resulted in a 10-1 advantage for Democrats. However, the Virginia Supreme Court overruled the state’s map on Friday, causing major uproar from Democrats.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a01f87ba200899a00e9af52 Jeffries calls out Trump-era gas prices after telling Republicans not to politicize pump pain under Biden te 2026-05-11T15:40:43.200Z Jeffries calls out Trump-era gas prices after telling Republicans not to politicize pump pain under Biden House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., is hammering President Donald Trump over surging gas prices tied to the war with Iran, arguing voter frustration could help Democrats win back the House in November.  But four years ago, he urged Republicans not to "play politics" with record prices at the pump under former President Joe Biden. "The average gas price is now $4.55 per gallon," Jeffries wrote on social media Friday. "Is this what the golden age in America looks like?" As the conflict drags on, disruptions to oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz have pushed fuel prices higher. The Trump administration’s effort to end the war appears to be stalling, even as a month-old ceasefire with Iran has largely held. GAS SURGE TIED TO IRAN CONFLICT HITS SWING STATES, TESTING TRUMP’S LOW-PRICE PITCH Jeffries’ attack on gas prices is part of Democrats’ strategy to focus on affordability, as the party looks to unseat a swath of vulnerable Republicans in battleground House districts this year.  Gas prices have risen on average by more than $1.50 — a roughly 50% increase — since Operation Epic Fury began on Feb. 28, according to AAA. A recent Fox News Poll found that nearly 60% of voters said gas prices were a "major problem" for their household. Another 29% of respondents said price increases at the pump were a "minor problem." Voter concern about persistent inflation has contributed to Democrats holding an eight-point lead over Republicans on the issue, according to the April Fox News survey. Nearly three-quarters of voters believe the U.S. economy is getting worse, matching a record high that Fox News also observed under Biden in April 2023. "The problem with this reckless war of choice is life has gotten more expensive," Jeffries told CNBC’s "Squawk Box" in April. But Jeffries struck a markedly different tone in March 2022, when gas prices surged following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Average gas prices ultimately rose to more than $5 per gallon in June of that year. FROM BIDEN'S 'WAR' ON GAS PRICES TO 'SMALL PRICE TO PAY': GOP SHIFTS TONE AS IRAN CONFLICT HITS PUMPS "It's certainly my hope that my Republican colleagues won't continue to play politics with an existential crisis for Ukraine, for Europe, for the West and for democracy because that is what is at stake right now," Jeffries said during a March 2022 news conference, referring to a spike in gas prices. "It may be some sacrifice that is required across the world." "Certainly, we are seeing incredible sacrifice by the Ukrainian people," he went on. Asked by a reporter whether the Biden administration should ask Americans to temporarily work from home to ease the gas crisis, Jeffries replied, "Everything should be on the table" and suggested the private sector consider the idea. "To the extent that corporate America, American businesses, as was the case during World War II, see themselves as part of the effort to ease the sacrifices that may be required here, I think that would be a positive development for the country," he said.  Fox News Digital reached out to a Jeffries spokesperson before publication. Energy Secretary Chris Wright has voiced optimism that gas prices will fall following the end of hostilities with Iran while conceding that Americans are experiencing "discomfort" in the short term. "I’m avoiding price predictions," Wright told NBC’s "Meet the Press" on Sunday. "Gasoline and diesel prices are up, and they’ll remain up while this conflict is in place, and then they will come back down. And ultimately they’ll come back down lower than they were before."  "Ending Iran’s nuclear program, that is massively positive for the flow of energy," Wright said. "Meaning more energy will flow in the future, meaning lower energy prices for Americans and the rest of the world."

For students and teachers, this was more than a tech glitch. Canvas is where many schools post assignments, messages, grades, class updates and exam instructions. So when access disappeared, it created confusion at the worst possible time. Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy Report WHY LAST YEAR'S BREACH IS THIS YEAR'S IDENTITY FRAUD Instructure says it detected unauthorized activity in Canvas on April 29, 2026. The company said it immediately revoked the unauthorized party's access, started an investigation and brought in outside forensic experts. Then, on May 7, Instructure said it identified additional unauthorized activity tied to the same incident. The company said the unauthorized actor made changes to pages that appeared when some students and teachers were logged in through Canvas. Out of caution, Instructure temporarily took Canvas offline into maintenance mode to contain the activity, investigate and apply additional safeguards. Instructure said it later confirmed that the unauthorized actor exploited an issue related to its Free-For-Teacher accounts. The company said this was the same issue that led to the unauthorized access the prior week. In a statement to CyberGuy, Instructure said, "Instructure discovered the unauthorized actor involved in our ongoing security incident made changes to the pages that appeared when some students and teachers were logged in. Out of an abundance of caution, we immediately took Canvas offline to contain access and further investigate. We have confirmed that the unauthorized actor exploited an issue related to our Free-For-Teacher accounts. As a result, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily shut down our Free-For-Teacher accounts. This gives us the confidence to restore access to Canvas, which is now fully back online and available for use. We regret the inconvenience and concern this may have caused." That detail is important because it explains how the company says the attacker gained access. It also shows why Instructure took a more aggressive step after the May 7 activity. The timing made the outage especially frustrating. Students across the country are preparing for finals or already taking them. Several schools reported problems with Canvas access. Student newspapers at Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania, Duke, UCLA and the University of Nebraska were reportedly blocked from using Canvas and saw a message from the hacking group ShinyHunters. Think about how that feels if you are a student. You may need to submit a paper, check exam details or message a professor. Then the system you rely on suddenly stops working. That is the real-life problem with school tech. When one major platform goes down, the disruption spreads fast. A hacking group called ShinyHunters claimed responsibility for the attack. The group reportedly threatened to leak school data unless it heard from affected schools by May 12, 2026. The group also claimed it had data tied to nearly 9,000 schools and about 275 million people. Those numbers come from the hackers' claims. Instructure has not publicly verified that full scale. That is worth keeping in mind. Cybercriminals often use big numbers to create panic and pressure victims. However, the confirmed incident is serious enough for schools and families to pay attention. Based on Instructure's investigation so far, the data taken in the April 29 incident includes certain personal information of users at affected organizations. That includes names, email addresses, student ID numbers and messages among Canvas users. Instructure said it has found no evidence that passwords, dates of birth, government identifiers or financial information were involved. The company also said that, based on its investigation to date, it has not found evidence that data was taken during the May 7 activity. Still, Instructure said the investigation is ongoing. Even so, this kind of information can still create problems. A scammer could use a student's school email and Canvas details to send a fake message that looks official. For example, a student may get an email that says a final exam file failed to upload. Another message may claim the student needs to verify a Canvas account. A fake IT alert could ask for a login code. That is how a data breach can turn into a phishing attack.  Yes. Instructure says Canvas is fully back online and available for use. However, Free-For-Teacher accounts remain temporarily shut down while the company works through the issue. The company also says its outside forensic partner reviewed the known indicators and found no evidence that the threat actor currently has access to the platform. Instructure says it has revoked privileged credentials and access tokens tied to affected systems. It also says it deployed additional platform protections, rotated certain internal keys, restricted token creation pathways and added monitoring across its platforms. Many parents may not know how much school life now runs through platforms like Canvas. Students use Canvas to track deadlines, get teacher updates, submit work and read class messages. Teachers use it to manage assignments and communicate with students. That makes Canvas a tempting target. If criminals can disrupt access or steal user information, they can create chaos quickly. The bigger lesson here is that school accounts deserve the same protection as bank accounts or email accounts. They hold personal details, private messages and information tied to a student's daily life. HACKERS THREATEN TO LEAK DATA FROM 275M USERS AFTER BREACHING MAJOR COLLEGE PLATFORM USED NATIONWIDE Even if passwords and financial details were not part of the breach, students and teachers should still stay alert. Scammers can use names, school emails, student ID numbers and message details to make fake alerts look convincing. Be careful with any message that claims to come from Canvas, Instructure or your school's IT department. Scammers may use urgent language. They may say your account will be locked, your exam file is missing, or your final grade is at risk. That pressure is the trick. Go directly to your school's official website or Canvas login page instead of clicking links in surprise emails. Instructure said it found no evidence that passwords were involved. Even so, follow your school's instructions. If your school tells you to reset your password, do it right away. Choose a strong password you do not use anywhere else. A password manager can help you create and store unique logins for each account. Check out the best expert-reviewed password managers of 2026 at CyberGuy.com. If your school offers multifactor authentication, turn it on. MFA adds another step when someone tries to log in. That extra step can stop a scammer who has your password. An authenticator app or passkey is stronger than a text code. Still, any MFA is better than leaving your account wide open. No real school IT worker should ask for your password or login code. If someone asks for that information, treat it as a red flag. End the conversation and contact your school through an official help desk number or website. Since Canvas messages may have been involved, think about what you shared there. Did you send personal details? Did you mention another account? Did you share private information with a teacher or classmate? You do not need to panic. But you should stay alert for messages that reference details from your Canvas account. A breach like this can lead to phishing emails with malicious links or attachments. Strong antivirus software can help block malware, warn you about dangerous websites and protect your devices if you accidentally click the wrong link. Keep it updated on your phone, tablet and computer. Get my picks for the best 2026 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices at CyberGuy.com. Student and teacher information can end up on people-search sites and data broker databases. A data removal service can help reduce how much personal information is floating around online. That can make it harder for scammers to connect your school email, home address, phone number and other personal details. Check out my top picks for data removal services and get a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web by visiting CyberGuy.com. If your school confirms that your personal information was involved, identity theft protection can help you spot suspicious activity faster. These services can monitor your personal information, alert you to possible misuse and help you respond if someone tries to use your identity. See my tips and best picks on Best Identity Theft Protection at CyberGuy.com. Younger students may not recognize a fake school message. Parents should keep the warning simple. Tell students not to click unexpected links, share codes or respond to scary messages without checking first. A quick conversation now can prevent a bigger mess later. Instructure says it notified impacted organizations on May 5, 2026. If a school or institution was affected, Instructure says it will contact that organization's primary contacts directly. For students, parents and employees, Instructure says the school or institution should be the first point of contact. It also recommends being cautious of unexpected emails or messages about the incident, avoiding suspicious links and reporting anything unusual to the school's IT or security team. Schools should also warn students and staff about follow-up scams. A breach does not end when the platform comes back online. For students and teachers, the risk can continue through fake emails, fake login pages and scam messages. ADT DATA BREACH EXPOSES CUSTOMER INFORMATION The Canvas breach shows how much school now depends on a few digital platforms. When one of them goes down, students feel it right away. The good news is that Instructure says it has found no evidence that passwords, financial data, birthdays or government IDs were involved. The tougher reality is that names, school emails, student IDs and private messages still have value to scammers. So the best move is to stay calm and stay skeptical. Use official school links. Turn on stronger login protection where possible and treat urgent messages with caution. Should schools and tech companies do more to protect student and teacher data before a breach puts their privacy at risk? Let us know by writing to us at CyberGuy.com.

The former MLB All-Star made his debut Sunday for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the Canadian Baseball League (CBL). And he looked an awful lot like the electric version of Puig that baseball fans remember from his Dodgers days. Playing against the Kitchener Panthers at Christie Pits Park in Toronto, Puig went 2-for-2 with 2 home runs, 4 RBIs and 2 walks in the Maple Leafs’ 8-6 win. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Not bad for a guy who could potentially be heading to prison in a couple weeks. Puig’s baseball comeback is unfolding under a pretty massive legal cloud. Earlier this year, he was found guilty of obstruction of justice and making false statements to federal investigators tied to an illegal sports gambling operation. The charges stem from a federal investigation into an illegal gambling ring in Southern California. According to reports, Puig allegedly placed hundreds of sports bets and racked up nearly $1 million in gambling losses that were never repaid. He’s currently awaiting sentencing on May 26 and could face up to 15 years in prison, though many believe any actual sentence would likely be far less severe. MLB CRACKS DOWN WITH NEW BETTING LIMIT AFTER CLEVELAND PITCHERS CHARGED IN GAMBLING SCHEME Still, it puts a pretty big damper on his comeback tour. For the CBL, signing Puig was a huge deal. Reports suggest it’s the largest contract in league history, and the former Dodgers star instantly became the biggest name in the league. Of course, there’s a reason Puig still draws attention all these years later. At his peak, he was one of the most exciting players in baseball. He burst onto the scene with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2013 and immediately looked like a future superstar. Puig earned an All-Star nod in 2014, but he quickly fizzled out. Puig spent seven seasons in MLB with the Dodgers, Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Guardians. His last MLB appearance came in 2019, though he’s continued playing professionally overseas in Mexico and South Korea. Now, at 35 years old, Puig is trying to write one more baseball chapter. And for at least one night in Toronto, it looked like vintage Yasiel Puig all over again.

Whether they live in Flagstaff, Winslow or Grand Canyon Village, he and his team work to get them to their appointments.  “I sometimes tell myself I’m working harder now than I was when I was practicing law,” he said. Disabled American Veterans volunteers like Henderson are part of a network of nonprofit and Veterans Affairs resources helping veterans – including those in remote areas – access healthcare through transportation assistance.  One of three primary VA healthcare hubs operating in Arizona, the Northern Arizona VA Health Care System, serves a dispersed population of about 34,000 patients across roughly 65,000 square miles. The system contains one medical center in Prescott and 11 clinics.  Joe Bartoli, the Northern Arizona VA’s veteran transportation program manager, said the demand he sees for transportation has increased as more veterans age, move to the region and learn about the services.  “I have 11 drivers in my veteran transportation service. One in Kingman, one in Flagstaff and the rest are out of Prescott here,” Bartoli said. “We travel anywhere from Phoenix all the way to the Utah border, subject to availability.” All three VA systems in Arizona – Northern, Southern and Phoenix – have transportation services that connect patients to shuttles run by the VA. The program is funded through the hospital itself, the Office of Rural Health within a branch of the Department of Veterans Affairs and the national VA transportation program, according to Bartoli.  “The more rural it becomes, the more difficult it is,” Bartoli said. “We routinely pick up patients in Flagstaff, bring them down here for primary care or for specialty appointments, or vice versa. And Phoenix. We also transport patients down to the Tucson area for specialized programs.” When demand is high, Bartoli said, they get support from partner organizations like Disabled American Veterans, an expansive national network with local headquarters in Arizona that operate state-level chapters. The organization’s volunteers operate a fleet of donated vehicles and can transport veterans able to get in and out of the vehicle independently, as the drivers are not trained medical personnel. The national nonprofit stepped in to fill the service gap when the VA abruptly suspended reimbursement for veterans’ transportation costs in 1987. The VA later resumed reimbursement, but under stricter eligibility criteria.  In addition, Arizona’s Medicaid agency covers certain transportation benefits for all members based on their eligibility, according to a statement from an Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System spokesperson. “We don’t turn veterans away if they call up and they need a ride,” said Bruce Nogar, a commander in the Arizona chapter of Disabled American Veterans.  According to Nogar, the majority of the veterans who receive transportation services are older and no longer able to drive, but the organization also assists homeless veterans and those who do not have access to transportation.  Dr. Rodd Marcum, primary care chief at the Northern Arizona VA Health Care System, said in addition to the geographic challenges that some northern Arizona veterans face, many experience a “digital divide.” Lack of internet restricts them in their ability to enroll in VA care and use tools meant to expand access like telehealth.  “Large parts in urban areas have ubiquitous high-speed internet,” Marcum said. “It’s not necessarily the case in many areas of our coverage … oftentimes veterans have to travel to gain access to internet.”  The VA is addressing this problem, Marcum said, through programs that provide technology and internet to veterans in need who would benefit from telehealth, as well as mobile care in rural areas. Disabled American Veterans also helps navigate the VA’s healthcare benefits system. At its Arizona department, they are working to make this process more accessible through a new remote claims program.  According to department adjutant and CEO Carl Forkner, they have set up one station in Globe and one in the Navajo Nation so far. Laptops, printers, scanners and internet service allow veterans to connect with a service officer over video conference and get help filing.  Forkner said even though the VA allows people to file claims online, including for transportation reimbursements, getting help navigating the filing process is important because most veterans “don’t speak VA.” Henderson said volunteering to help veterans in northern Arizona often comes with its challenges, like driving long distances and adjusting when there are more people in need of transportation than drivers. Still, “if they’ve got a VA appointment and need a ride, we’ll find a way to get them there,” he said.

(Photo by Tom Brenner/Getty Images) As President Donald Trump tries to assert power over U.S. elections, he has raged on social media, cajoled Republican lawmakers and unleashed the Department of Justice on his political enemies. What has he accomplished with all that effort? Not a lot. Six months before the November midterm elections, the Trump administration’s quest to exercise authority over the contests and impose sweeping restrictions on voters has proved largely unsuccessful. The aggressive campaign has been stymied by the courts, rebuffed by many state election officials and opposed by key Republican senators. “I think there’s many out there who are worried about the constant drumbeat of what the administration is trying to do and what they might do in the future. I hear this from voters, I hear this from election officials,” said David Becker, executive director of the nonpartisan Center for Election Innovation & Research. “And what I see is that there is a vast chasm between wanting to do something and trying to do something and actually successfully doing it.” Months yet to go Much could change between now and November, of course.  Facing likely Republican losses in the midterms, election experts warn that Trump could lash out with increasingly brazen attempts to control elections. Or that the Justice Department will conduct more raids targeting election officials, like the FBI seizure of ballots from the 2020 presidential election from Fulton County, Georgia. Democrats remain braced for federal election interference, especially the prospect of Trump deploying immigration enforcement agents or the military at polling locations — an action prohibited under federal law that some administration aides have nevertheless refused to flatly rule out. But Trump’s record of achievement up to this point is poor. The SAVE America Act, which would require voters to prove their citizenship, is stalled in the U.S. Senate despite Trump’s repeated demands for its passage. Federal courts blocked an executive order Trump signed last year that sought to impose a proof-of-citizenship rule unilaterally. The Justice Department hasn’t secured a single court victory in the 30 lawsuits it’s filed to force states and the District of Columbia to turn over sensitive personal data on voters. A bipartisan group of state secretaries of state is fighting the Trump administration in court — only 13 Republican states have provided the information. And an executive order signed in March that would limit voting by mail faces five federal lawsuits, with an initial courtroom showdown set for Thursday in Washington, D.C. Federal agencies have yet to finalize plans to implement the directive, which election law experts call illegal and unconstitutional. “America’s Elections are Rigged, Stolen, and a Laughingstock all over the World. We are either going to fix them, or we won’t have a Country any longer,” Trump posted on Truth Social in late April. White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told States Newsroom that Trump is committed “to ensuring that Americans have full confidence in the administration of elections, and that includes totally accurate and up-to-date voter rolls free of errors and unlawfully registered non-citizen voters.”  Jackson named several federal laws that she said provide the Justice Department oversight over states’ election administration. She also noted Trump’s support for the SAVE America Act. “Anyone breaking the law will be held accountable,” Jackson said in an email. System under strain Trump has placed the nation’s electoral system under immense stress before.  After the 2020 election, the president and his allies worked to overturn the results, with Trump leaning on then-Vice President Mike Pence to reject Electoral College votes. The effort failed but it led to a mob storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and disrupting Congress’ certification of Joe Biden’s victory. Today, the system is holding but under strain. An analysis released Thursday by Issue One, a pro-democracy group, likened American elections to a resilient patient with a strong immune system. Yet the Trump administration, rather than boosting the body’s immunity, acts like a virus, it said. “America’s election system’s immune system is not breaking, but it is actively fighting against the virus of democratic backsliding,” the analysis reads. The group identified three safeguards it says are in critical condition: Congress, internal checks within the executive branch and the information ecosystem.  Election officials have watched with particular concern as the Justice Department probes the 2020 election. Trump has long falsely asserted that the election was stolen and in January 2021 pressured the Georgia secretary of state to find him enough votes to overturn his loss in that state. After the FBI obtained a warrant to seize 2020 election ballots from Fulton County, which encompasses Atlanta, in January 2026, the DOJ last month sent a subpoena for information on the county’s election workers. The subpoena demands the names, positions, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of election workers and poll volunteers who worked the 2020 general election. Fulton County is fighting the subpoena in court. On Wednesday, a federal judge ruled that the FBI doesn’t have to give the ballots back to the county, though he noted the seizure “was certainly not perfect.” Supporters of President Donald Trump demonstrate at a ‘Stop the Steal’ rally in front of the Maricopa County Elections Department in Phoenix on Nov. 7, 2020 . (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images) The Justice Department has also obtained a grand jury subpoena for election records in Arizona and demanded 2024 ballots from Wayne County, Michigan, which includes Detroit. And the FBI recently interviewed a Wisconsin election official about the 2020 election, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. Local leaders have promised that they won’t bend to pressure from the Trump administration. “This whole thing is designed to harass, intimidate and chill participation in our election process,” Fulton County Board of Commissioners Chair Robb Pitts, a Democrat, said in a video statement. “It’s not going to work, it’s not going to happen.” Blue state action Some states are pursuing additional safeguards against federal election interference.  For example, New Mexico lawmakers passed a bill that makes intentionally obstructing polling places a felony and prohibits the military or any armed federal personnel from polling locations. The legislative push, concentrated in Democratic states, comes as Trump administration officials have sidestepped direct questions about whether troops or federal agents could be deployed to the polls. “It’s yet another gotcha hypothetical,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said at a recent U.S. Senate hearing. U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth listens to questions during a news conference at the Pentagon on March 2, 2026. (Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images) The Connecticut General Assembly passed legislation May 6 that imposes a 250-foot buffer zone around election sites where warrantless arrests and searches, use of force and ID checks by state or federal officers, including immigration agents, are banned. The measure also bans masked or concealed identities near polling places, among other provisions. Connecticut state Rep. Matt Blumenthal, a Democrat who chairs the state House Government Administration & Elections Committee, said that if nothing happens during this fall’s elections, “I’ll say, ‘Good, it worked.’”  The goal of the bill isn’t to create confrontations between Connecticut law enforcement and federal forces, but to deter intimidation in the first place, he said. “We have a responsibility to protect all of our residents, but especially our voters, related to our elections — to prevent these sorts of tools of threat and intimidation and terror from being used to shape our political life,” Blumenthal said in an interview. Connecticut state Sen. Rob Sampson, a Republican, said that he wouldn’t support abuse from the federal government. But Democrats, he said, were spinning a false narrative of voter intimidation for political purposes and attempting to distract from weaknesses in election security. “In the last few years, I don’t always trust the results,” Sampson said on the Senate floor. “Now, some people will go out there and say, ‘Oh, you’re an election denier.’ I’m not saying that there’s tens of thousands of faulty or erroneous or fraudulent votes. I’m just saying that there’s definitely some.” GOP elections bill stalled Trump and Republicans in Congress say major action is needed to boost election confidence.  At Trump’s urging, the U.S. House passed the SAVE America Act in February. In addition to requiring voters to show documents such as a passport or birth certificate that prove citizenship, the legislation also imposes ID requirements at the polls and would require states to bolster efforts to clean voter registration lists. Polling suggests Americans support at least some of the bill’s provisions. A Politico poll conducted in April found 52% of Americans support requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote, while 18% oppose.  Democrats, election administration experts and some Republicans say the proposal would lead to chaos. Its provisions would take effect immediately, upending voting requirements potentially months or weeks before elections. Married women and others who have last names that don’t match their birth certificates could face additional obstacles registering to vote. The SAVE America Act hasn’t advanced in the U.S. Senate. Sen. John Kennedy, a Louisiana Republican and major proponent of the bill, attempted to add the measure onto a budget bill in April, but the Senate rejected it, 48-50. “This doesn’t mean Trump and his allies in Congress will stop,” Héctor Sánchez Barba, president and CEO of Mi Familia Vota, a Latino voting rights group, said in a statement. The Senate has since moved off the SAVE America Act and would need to hold a procedural vote to return to it. Whether that happens is in doubt, but Kennedy indicated to Punchbowl News that he intends to force another amendment vote later this month. His office didn’t respond to an email from States Newsroom seeking confirmation. A mail ballot drop box at a polling station n Arlington, Virginia, on Election Day 2025. (Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images) Postal Service  Without the SAVE America Act, Trump’s options to legally restrict voting are limited.  Trump signed an executive order in March attempting to limit the U.S. Postal Service’s delivery of ballots through the mail. The order also directs the Department of Homeland Security to create “state citizenship lists” that include the names of voting-age citizens in each state — effectively creating a national voter list. But the order has come under legal attack from Democratic groups, a coalition of Democratic states and multiple voting rights organizations. Its opponents are hopeful that federal judges will soon block the directive like they did a March 2025 order that included a proof-of-citizenship requirement. “I don’t have confidence that the Trump administration or Donald Trump will refrain from trying to interfere with our elections,” Blumenthal said. “But I have great confidence that the American people will stand up against it.” Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a01e814a200899a00e9a3ad Alabama's congressional map hinges on US Supreme Court te 2026-05-11T14:30:44.437Z Alabama's congressional map hinges on US Supreme Court Alabama's Republican Gov.

The 22 SAS is the United Kingdom's Tier One counter-terrorism unit, and its ties to the Tier One units in America are legendary. Delta Force was literally developed and designed based on the SAS. Delta Force, a shadowy Army unit, is tasked with America's most important no-fail missions. The Unit was responsible for snatching former Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro. SEAL TEAM 6 MEMBER REVEALS EPIC DETAILS OF OSAMA BIN LADEN RAID Former 22 SAS commando Duncan Baillie appeared on Brent Tucker's "Tier1 Podcast" in an episode released Monday. Tucker is a former CAG operator. The two discussed the immense respect between the units, and the trust they have between them in combat. 'BLACK HAWK DOWN' SNIPER SHINES LIGHT ON BRUTAL REALITY OF VIOLENT COMBAT "That's a funny thing, dude. No matter where you go in the world, if you land up in these random places, the first thing I always used to look for, I was like, 'Is there any Delta [guys] here?'...And then you'd find someone, and you know, take the mate thing out of it. What you also realized is that if sh-- went south when you're in this place all by yourself, you've got someone else that you can turn to and say, 'Hey, listen. Here's my number. If you need me, call me.'...That's a safety blanket that's nice to have because you know the level of training they're at. You know what they're capable of. You're like, 'Well, if we have to run and gun, we're doing it together,'" Baillie explained to Tucker. The two also discussed how close the 22 SAS and Delta Force are "intertwined" and "always will be." You can check out the awesome podcast below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com. It really is special the kind of bond the United States and the United Kingdom share when it comes to special operations. There is no unit in the world that is a better friend and ally to Delta Force than the 22 SAS, and anyone who even suggests differently has no idea what they're talking about. When American operators have to go do something that is incredibly dangerous, you better believe that the 22 SAS is more than willing to go with them. Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, etc. It doesn't matter the location. The 22 SAS always answers the call when America needs them, and they have shed a lot of blood side by side with their American counterparts in combat. In fact, the thumbnail of the YouTube video above is of 22 SAS operator Matt Tonroe and Delta Force operator Jonathan Dunbar, who were killed on a mission together in Syria. I have no doubt the close relationship between the two units will continue. That's great news for us, and very bad news for our enemies. Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

That's not too bad for a guy who was strongly considering just doing YouTube golf full-time three years ago. In Myrtle Beach, a stretch of 2,821 days was broken with Brandt Snedeker earning his first win on the PGA Tour since 2018. The Nashville native was overcome with emotion, and given what his body has been through in recent years, it was certainly understandable to see the tears flowing. A 45-year-old Snedeker winning on Tour in the year 2026 was not on anyone's bingo card. As time somehow keeps moving faster and faster, we've already arrived at the year's second major championship. That music you hear is Michael Block's. It's PGA Championship week, and for the first time in a long time, there is some juice behind it thanks to the venue, and we have a few early thoughts to get to before diving headfirst into content throughout the week. This is Par Talk, a weekly read to get you caught up on all the happenings that took place in professional golf over the week that you need to know. You can follow Mark on X @itismarkharris and email him at mark.harris@outkick.com No disrespect to Kristoffer Reitan, but when Brandt Snedeker wins a golf tournament, he's getting the leadoff spot every single time in Par Talk. Just like every other golf kid born in the early '90s, Tiger Woods was the guy for me growing up. Still, when I started taking the game semi-seriously as a teenager and also began looking beyond the first page of leaderboards, the Tour visor-wearing guy who made every single putt he looked at became my favorite player to watch. It has been that way ever since. SUNGJAE IM HITS TRULY BIZARRE BUNKER SHOT THAT RICOCHETS OFF GRANDSTAND ONLY TO END UP BACK AT HIS FEET As random as it is, I still have clear memories of watching Snedeker earn his first win in 2007 from the dingy clubhouse of a nine-hole course with my dad and his buddies in my hometown. I sure as hell remember the 2008 Masters when he dumped it into the creek in front of the 13th green on both Saturday and Sunday before ultimately finishing T-3. Trevor Immelman went on to win by three shots in 2008 with Snedeker shooting 77 in the final round. My dad, brother, and I actually got a 2008 Masters hat signed by Immelman and Snedeker later that year. Snedeker sobbed like a baby during a brief meeting with the media following his heartbreak at Augusta in '08. That video used to live on YouTube somewhere. Maybe it was removed so it would never hit my algorithm again. Fast-forward 18 years, with a FedEx Cup trophy on his mantel and the title of Presidents Cup captain to his name, Snedeker sobbed like a baby again. Dunes Golf and Beach Club in Myrtle Beach may not be the stage Augusta National is, but as the venue for his 10th victory on Tour and first in nearly eight years, it's a special one for Snedeker. COMPLETELY UNKNOWN GOLFER YURAV PREMLALL COMES OUT OF NOWHERE TO WIN DP WORLD TOUR EVENT BY 14 SHOTS Snedeker underwent an experimental surgery on his sternum in 2022 in which doctors took a bone out of his hip, cut his sternum open and essentially built, and essentially built a new one in its place with the piece of his hip bone. On top of that, the undefeated Father Time reared his ugly head, and it felt like the senior circuit may be the next time Snedeker would have a real chance of winning a tournament. There have been flashes in 2026, but it all fell into place in Myrtle Beach with a pair of 66s and 67s to earn a one-shot victory over Mark Hubbard. Snedeker got it done in his standard fashion, ranking 74th in distance off the tee and fourth in putting. "To not have my card the last couple of years, to be struggling to do what I love, you know, to still have a passion to play this game the way I want to play it and to show people how I can still do it, especially not playing my best and struggling the way I did to come back and fight, claw my way back and play some great golf this year even though it hasn't seemed like it to people outside," Snedeker said after his win. "I knew I was playing well. I just hadn't been able to put it all together. Hopefully it shows my family, my kids something. Just, you know, ten wins out here is an accomplishment. Something I'm very proud of." That quote from Sneds says it all. The 28-year-old from Norway had been playing some strong golf over the last month, with three top-15 finishes in his four starts leading up to the Truist Championship, but earning his first victory on Tour in a signature event on a major championship golf course? Come on. Some may claim that Reitan had the advantage of not having to go toe-to-toe with any big-name players on Sunday, as it was Rickie Fowler, Alex Fitzpatrick and Sungjae Im mixing with him during the final round. On the flip side of that, Reitan played his way to the top of the board, while others simply didn't, and he can't be criticized for that. Reitan's final-round 69 was enough to get the job done by two shots at Quail Hollow, and it's hard not to be impressed with his play down the stretch. Back-to-back birdies on 14 and 15, followed by three relatively comfortable pars to close things out, is easier said than done. BRYSON DECHAMBEAU DETAILS THE TWO COMPLICATED HURDLES IN HIS WAY OF A POTENTIAL PGA TOUR RETURN He had a tremendous stroke of luck on the par-4 16th with his tee shot somehow avoiding a fairway bunker, but every winner gets a lucky break; his just happened to come with a few swings left to make. In 15 career starts on Tour, Reitan has made 11 cuts, earned a victory in a signature event and has made nearly $5.3 million. Not a bad way to bounce back after nearly giving up on professional golf and just doing YouTube. "I was, at that point (in 2022), considering whether or not I wanted to continue playing professionally. So, yeah, I just had some thoughts about how to make the game a little bit more fun, a little bit more relaxed," Reittan said following his win. "Yeah, I think YouTube golf would have given me maybe some of that fun competitiveness back, maybe not the serious competitiveness, if that makes sense. So I was just trying to find ways to make it more fun to give my journey in golf a little bit of energy, and trying to have fun while I'm playing so that I can endure the hardships that follow, yeah, with professional golf." It's safe to say he made the right decision in continuing the grind of professional golf. It's amazing how such a simple, albeit vastly important factor, can make a golf tournament so much more intriguing. With each of the previous two PGA Championships being played at golf courses we're all too familiar with (Valhalla and Quail Hollow), this week's event has more excitement around it due to the fact that we haven't seen Aronimink since the 2018 BMW Championship. You couple that with the fact that it feels like the most wide-open major championship we've had in years, and we could be in store for some fireworks, which is not often said while on the topic of the PGA Championship. Who knows what version of Scottie Scheffler we get? Rory McIlroy just shot 75 on Saturday at Quail Hollow. Is his game in good enough order to win major No. 7? What about the LIV boys? Aronimink should fit Bryson DeChambeau's game well, but are we sure he even cares? It's a major championship in the Northeast; therefore, a red-hot Cameron Young should be comfortable. We truly do not know what to expect at Aronimink this week, and the unpredictability levels like this are needed now and again, and certainly so for major championships.

Maxey appeared to be more upset with the fan support. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Knicks fans swarmed the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia for both Games 3 and 4. They got a front-row seat to watch their team sweep their Atlantic Division rival. Knicks fans even went as far as infiltrating local news broadcasts in celebration. Maxey spoke about the fans in his postgame press conference. "It absolutely sucks, if I'm being honest. It just sucks," he said, via SNY TV. "That's really all I can say about it, man. It's hard. It's definitely difficult. It's only one way to put a stop to it and it's, we have to go out there and win these games.

I know we lost Game 2 and 1, but Game 2 was better. The regular season was better. I was telling them, it felt louder here for them than it did in the Garden." He said it was up to the team to drown out the noise. "We got to put a stop to it as a team," Maxey added. "Winning these games, that's gonna make our fans louder than theirs or whatever. I don't know how to keep them out. I don't know the logistics of it, but it does suck. I can't even lie. It definitely does suck." New York blew the doors off Philadelphia in Game 4 with a 144-114 win. It was the eighth time in the last nine playoff appearances that the 76ers haven’t at least made it to the Eastern Conference Finals. Philadelphia hasn’t gotten that far in the postseason since making the 2001 NBA Finals.

"The trespasser on the runway was then struck by Frontier Airlines Flight 4345 during takeoff at high speed. The pilot stopped takeoff procedures immediately," Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy wrote in a post on X. The incident occurred around 11:19 p.m. as the plane was attempting take off and caused a brief engine fire that was subsequently extinguished by authorities, the airport said in an X post. AMERICAN AIRLINES FLIGHT CATCHES FIRE IN DENVER Radio traffic recordings obtained by KDVR reveal the chilling description from first responders in the aftermath of the collision.  "Runway 17L is closed," a first responder reportedly said. "I do have limbs on the runway. I believe the aircraft struck an individual." The individual was "at least partially consumed" by one of the plane's engines, ABC News reported.

Authorities have not yet revealed the identity of the individual struck by the aircraft.  "As far as security protocols, our security teams and Denver Police regularly patrol the perimeter of the airport. The person scaled the barbed-wire fence and was hit within two minutes," a Denver Airport spokesperson told Fox News Digital.  Denver International Airport later posted an update to X adding it "has examined the fenceline and found it to be intact." "We are extremely saddened by this incident and express our sympathies to those involved," the statement concluded.  The incident is under investigation by the NTSB, FAA and Frontier Airlines.  Fox News Digital's Jesse Watson and Robert McGreevy contributed to this report. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a01e377a200899a00e9a2ea Trump accuses Schumer of trying to 'interfere in our elections' with latest strategy te 2026-05-11T14:11:03.170Z Trump accuses Schumer of trying to 'interfere in our elections' with latest strategy The partisan battle over midterm elections is heating up in Washington, D.C., with accusations flying that both sides are trying to rig the outcome in November.  Republicans are trying to hold on to their majority in both chambers, while Democrats are trying to pounce on sluggish legislating, infighting and rising costs in their quest to take over the House, Senate or both.  And President Donald Trump is already accusing Democrats of election interference months before Election Day.  SCHUMER, DEMS LAUNCH 'FREE AND FAIR' ELECTIONS TASK FORCE AS TRUMP'S SAVE AMERICA ACT STUMBLES "The Democrats are totally unhinged, and we will not allow them to threaten the integrity of our Elections," Trump said on Truth Social.   Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Democrats recently launched a "free and fair elections task force" that would recruit the likes of former Attorney General Eric Holder and Marc Elias, who Trump charged was "a terrible lawyer with a horrible track record."  "Palestinian Chuck Schumer is hiring Eric Holder, famous for handing guns to Mexican cartels under the Barack Hussein Obama administration, as part of a Democrat-led ‘Election Integrity Group’ that will no doubt try to suppress Republican voters, and interfere in our Elections," Trump said on Truth Social. Schumer and Senate Democrats debuted the elections task force as Republicans struggle to move forward on voter ID and citizenship verification legislation, and on the heels of the Supreme Court’s redistricting decision that is expected to further crank up the redistricting arms race across the country. REPUBLICANS FAIL TO ATTACH SAVE AMERICA ACT TO PARTY-LINE FUNDING PACKAGE "Donald Trump and the Republicans realize that if the election were held fairly, that the likelihood is that they would lose, and we would win, that we would take back the House, take back the Senate," Schumer said. "So they are doing all kinds of nefarious things, some of them legal, some of them not so legal, to try and overturn a fair result in an election," he continued. Schumer described the task force’s mission as seeking out "election threats," including actions at the administrative level by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS), attacks on the First Amendment, foreign threats and militarization of law enforcement at the polls. Trump countered that in the 2024 election cycle, Republicans mounted an "Election Integrity Army in every single State to preserve the sanctity of each legal vote." "We will be doing the same again in 2026, but it will be much bigger and stronger," Trump said. "All Americans should have their voices be heard by casting a vote. Be assured this Election will be fair!" Its inception is in response to what Democrats say is a "comprehensive effort" by Trump and his administration to undermine the upcoming election, particularly through efforts to pass the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act. TWO DOZEN HOUSE REPUBLICANS GO TO WAR WITH SENATE GOP OVER SAVE AMERICA ACT Trump has strongly pushed Republicans to pass the SAVE America Act, which would create federal voter ID laws, require proof of citizenship to register to vote and share information on voter rolls with DHS. Democrats say the legislation would disenfranchise millions of Americans. But Republicans aren’t unified behind the legislation. The SAVE America Act, or a version of it pushed by Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., failed last month when four Republicans joined Democrats to kill it. He has also called on Republicans to nationalize elections, and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin didn’t rule out sending federal immigration agents to polling places in the fall during his confirmation hearing earlier this year. It’s part of what Democrats charge is a concerted effort to tip the scales in the upcoming elections. "Donald Trump doesn't think he did too much in 2020 to steal the election," Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said. "He thinks he did too little, and so that's why you are seeing, already, a comprehensive effort to try to rig and steal the fall election."

Cole Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, pleaded not guilty to attempting to assassinate the president of the United States, discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, transporting a firearm across state lines and assaulting a federal officer with a deadly weapon. More charges are possible, according to U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro. ALLEGED WOULD-BE TRUMP ASSASSIN SHOT SECRET SERVICE OFFICER ‘POINT-BLANK’ IN DC HOTEL, DIRECTOR SAYS But Allen's defense attorneys want Pirro and her office removed from the case, citing a "conflict of interest" stemming from the fact that Pirro was a victim if their client's alleged crime, they said in a court filing on Friday. They also cited Pirro's personal friendship with Trump. "As this case proceeds closer to trial, the country and the world will continue to wonder—how can the American justice system permit a victim to prosecute a criminal defendant in a case involving them?" the motion asks. "Or even—how can one of the victim’s closest friends prosecute the alleged perpetrator of the offense? Given U.S. Attorney Pirro’s friendship with the President and her and Acting A.G. Blanche’s attendance at the event at the center of this prosecution, the law necessitates their disqualification." Eugene Ohm, Allen's public defender, told Judge Trevor McFadden on Monday that it's likely they would ask for Pirro's entire office to be taken off the case. However, Ohm said it was unlikely they would ask for the entire Department of Justice to be forced off the case as part of the Blanche request. "That would be quite a request," McFadden said.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a01dc47a200899a00e9a1d8 Former Dem gov in hot seat for ‘complete failure’ in ‘INSANE’ early release of thousands of inmates te 2026-05-11T13:40:23.859Z Former Dem gov in hot seat for ‘complete failure’ in ‘INSANE’ early release of thousands of inmates Democratic Senate candidate and former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper is being ripped as a "complete failure" after hundreds of inmates released under his administration as part of a COVID-era agreement were rearrested on new charges within two years. This comes as Cooper is locked in a heated Senate race with Republican Michael Whatley that could help determine which party controls the chamber. A spokesperson for Cooper’s campaign dismissed the criticisms as "blatant lies from Republicans," pointing to how the former governor fought the releases in court. The spokesperson also said thousands of prisoners were released during the first Trump administration due to COVID-19. A Fox News Digital review of data from the North Carolina Sentencing and Policy Advisory Commission found that more than 560 inmates released during the Cooper administration went on to be arrested on charges of new offenses within two years of their release. The agreement resulted in the release of 3,500 inmates over a 180-day period from February to August 2021. Among those released was Tyrell Brace, who was later charged with first-degree murder in the killing of young father Elante Thompson in Charlotte. Brace previously pleaded guilty to assault by strangulation and assault inflicting serious injury and also had felony larceny and breaking-and-entering convictions. North Carolina Department of Public Safety Adult Correction records indicate Brace was released months earlier than originally scheduled. CHARLOTTE RAIL MURDER SUSPECT LINKED TO INMATE RELEASE APPROVED UNDER EX-DEM GOVERNOR, GOP ALLEGES Another released inmate, Daron Owens, went on to be sentenced in federal court to 10 years in prison for possession of a firearm by a felon stemming from a drive-by shooting months after his release that left a victim with gunshot wounds. Owens was released a month early. Cooper’s Senate opponent, Republican Michael Whatley, ripped into him, posting on X that "Roy Cooper was a complete failure at keeping our communities safe." "Victims’ families deserve answers," he continued, adding, "Why did Roy Cooper allow these dangerous criminals back on our streets?" The mass release stemmed from a 2020 lawsuit filed by the North Carolina NAACP, ACLU and other groups, which argued that crowded prison conditions during the pandemic put inmates at unconstitutional risk. The plaintiffs initially pushed for the release of thousands more inmates. But the state ultimately settled the case in early 2021, agreeing to reduce the prison population through expanded early releases, parole reviews and other measures, resulting in about 3,500 inmates being released. The move has been criticized by Republicans as one of the largest mass prisoner releases in the country. At the time, Cooper’s administration emphasized that the releases would focus on non-violent offenders, though officials later acknowledged that individuals convicted of violent crimes were also included. Court records show some inmates released during the period had extensive felony histories, including crimes involving assault, sexual offenses, kidnapping and offenses against children. Data reviewed by Fox News Digital found that from a sample group of 1,180 prisoners, 48 percent, 566, were later arrested on charges of new offenses. From the sample group, 20 percent have been convicted. Besides Brace and Owens, another individual released was Jimmie Speight, who was convicted of indecent liberty with a child and failure to register as a sex offender and was released just under nine months early. In 2023, he was sentenced to more than 32 years in prison for second-degree murder. Another, Kyshuan Norrell, who was convicted of manslaughter, was also released and has since been sentenced to life in prison for first-degree murder. TRUMP SAYS DEMOCRATS HAVE ‘BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS’ AFTER DEADLY CHARLOTTE TRAIN STABBING Whatley campaign spokesperson DJ Griffin drilled into the former governor over these releases, telling Fox News Digital that "Roy Cooper has blood on his hands." Griffin posited that Cooper’s "dangerous decision to release thousands of convicted felons during COVID has resulted in the deaths of 19 North Carolinians." "Now, victims’ families say he is solely to blame for these deaths. All while Cooper refuses to take any responsibility for his actions," said Griffin. The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) also piled on Cooper, calling the releases "INSANE," in an X post, adding, "Roy Cooper must answer for this." Bernadette Breslin, a national press secretary for the NRSC, told Fox News Digital that the agreement amounted to the Democrat having "aided and abetted the release of thousands of violent criminals onto North Carolina’s streets," adding, "Cooper’s soft-on-crime policies are too dangerous for North Carolina families." In response, a spokesperson for Cooper’s campaign dismissed the criticisms, telling Fox News Digital that "these blatant lies from Republicans have been fact-checked for months and found to be false." The spokesperson said that "after Roy fought against these releases in court, North Carolina law enforcement officials and parole officers looked to similar criteria President Trump used a year prior when his administration released thousands of federal prisoners due to COVID-19." CHARLOTTE TEEN ARRESTED 111 TIMES IN 2 YEARS STILL WALKING FREE IN SOFT-ON-CRIME BLUE CITY: POLICE "Keeping the public safe is Roy Cooper’s top priority, which is why he refused to commute sentences when outside groups asked him to during the pandemic," the spokesperson continued. They added, "While Roy spent his career putting rapists and violent criminals behind bars, Michael Whatley spent his appointing a convicted child sex predator who served time in prison for multiple counts of felony child sex crimes to a powerful position within the North Carolina Republican Party." Harvey West Jr., a registered sex offender who served prison time for child sex crimes, later held leadership and committee roles within the North Carolina GOP during Whatley’s tenure as chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party. Whatley has said that West "was elected on his own," according to the Washington Examiner. This comes as North Carolina leaders have faced scrutiny for high-profile murders, such as the killing of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska. Republicans have alleged that the man charged with Zarutska’s murder, Decarlos Dejuan Brown Jr., may have been one of the inmates released under the COVID agreement. However, Cooper has denied this as a "lie." Brown had been arrested at least 14 times prior to the killing and previously served time in North Carolina prison after a 2015 armed robbery conviction. He was released from custody in September 2020. Fox News Digital's Stepheny Price contributed to this report.

Let's get Monday Screencaps off and running with Wheel of Fortune heir Maggie Sajak making it Banana-ball official with trickster Jackson Olson. Legacy Screencaps readers know that I've been a big fan of Maggie going back like 5-6 years when I called for Vanna White to step aside, so Pat's daughter could take the job that was rightfully hers upon Vanna's retirement. Instead, Vanna refused to retire, even when Pat hung up his work boots. To her credit, from everything I can gather, Maggie, 31, has been a good soldier as Vanna tries to figure out when to ride off into the sunset. Why am I such a big Maggie fan? Because she could've turned into the toxic teammate who tried to push the Boomer out the door, but she hasn't. She's been a great teammate while being relegated to some social media role with Wheel of Fortune. And now she's been rewarded by the locker room gods by finding a relationship with Banana-ball heartbreaker Jackson Olson who is considered one of the biggest catches in trick baseball history. Let this be a lesson to all the toxic women out there. Be like Maggie. PAT SAJAK'S DAUGHTER FINDS ROMANCE WITH VIRAL BASEBALL STAR AFTER 'BOYFRIEND APPLICATION' – Duncan gives us an update on the state of Banana-ball: 3 years ago my family won the lottery to see the Savannah Bananas in a minor league stadium.  This was when they started to get popular, but not nearly to the level they're at today.  Unfortunately the game was rained out and we didn't get to see them.  Fast forward to today, and I had free tickets from work.  We left after the 5th inning.  My kids love baseball, but the game was in the background of the non-stop music, the teams dancing, all of the festivities in between innings, etc.  When we got home, we all agreed we were ready to leave after 2 innings.  I honestly think they have jumped the shark. – Ron writes: If you want to put it out there I have access to 5 extra tickets for a Bananas' game in Eugene at face value $300.    Kinsey: I'm only putting it out there because I'm blown away by the price of Bananas tickets. Is that really face value? $60 a ticket? – Matt from Charlotte reports: Long time reader of Screencaps. Funny you mentioned Paige at the Truist this week.

From the Wall Street Journal: Teens in Florida, especially in the lucrative sports of football, basketball and baseball, jump from school to school chasing playing time, winning teams, talented teammates, connected coaches and anything else that might put them on the radar of colleges, boosters and corporate sponsors with millions to spend.  In this academic year alone, interscholastic officials have recorded 7,028 athletic transfers, up from 5,688 last year. Elite football players commonly pass through two or three schools and some students transfer eight times, according to a top regulator.   Kinsey: Drip...drip...drip...emailers told me I was crazy when I said D1 high school sports as we know it will be dead in a matter of years. It's only going to trickle down just like travel ball trickled down. FOMO is kicking in, folks. If your kid isn't on one of these top teams, you better find a spot on the B-level high school program. But here's the hook that I see coming: High schools will farm out their programs to local club organizations that will be bought up by big investors. The price to run these programs will become too much for public high schools. Deals will be pushed for the clubs to cover the finances, via the big investor money and parents who are willing to pay whatever it costs to be on these teams. Your kids will eventually be the cheap labor to turn massive profits for the investors. The blind parents will walk right into this trap.

Check out the dismount upon impact. – Greg in Nebraska shares: I went to the last middle school track meet of the year on Friday.  Yes it was long.  Started at 10 and ended at 4. Seemed much longer. My daughter did long jump at 10:00 which was a good way to start the day.  It was over by 10:15.  Then it was waiting until about 2 until she ran the 4:00, then  another hour or so to wait for the 8:00.  Then another hour until the relay. So all together she was participating in events for no more than 10 minutes of the 6 hours.  I did sit in my car with the AC on while doing some work emails so I was a little busy but it was a challenge. I did sit next to a dad friend of mine. It was fun sitting with other parents and yelling for their kids and them yelling for mine.  The time was slow but we all made it. After it was done I went to see if she was riding home with me or on the bus. She saw me and came up and gave me a hug and was so happy I was there.  I am glad I was there. Some good things about the meet was getting to see all of the hot moms from the other towns. Some were very impressive. Also I stopped at a BBQ place and got some pork, brisket, ribs and corn bread for the road. That was a great way to end the day.  Monday I am watching high school tennis all day. That is 9:00 til about 6 or 7 at the earliest.  Think of me about 2 and know I’ve got another 4 or 5 hours to go.   Regarding the garden.  My daughter and I planted tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, and peppers today while Mrs took her Mother’s Day nap.  I have cattle panel trellises set up. I’ll keep you updated on the growth. Let this sink in today as you get one day closer to retirement. The VJs you were watching in the early 1980s are at full Social Security age, and OLDER. – Brad S. says: I'm with Chris W. in CA.I don't do food delivery, and have taught my kids accordingly. Now, having worked in food and drink, I always tip, even if it's a few bucks while picking up food from the counter.I did make a delivery exception a few weeks ago. I just had my knee replaced and couldn't drive. The awesome Mrs. S and my son were at a school event, and my daughter and I were landlocked. She wanted pizza. I didn't have anything frozen to cook up, so we settled on delivery.I ordered online and when it suggested a tip, I clicked zero, since I'm a cash guy and planned to tip the driver handsomely (due to my physical limitations). The website said 25 minutes 'til pizza. At P minus 20 minutes, I hobbled to the door and waited - cash ready for the tip - and nothing. 25 minutes. 30 minutes... I opened the door to check, and sure enough, the driver was early and had deposited our food on the little table we have for package deliveries. They never knocked, never rang the bell, nothing! I had $15 cash in my hand to give them for a $42 order!It's marketing 101 delivery people! Ring the bell. Look them in the eye. Hand them the goods. Offer plastic ware, condiments, etc. Say thank you! OK, that's just me. Maybe the delivery companies discourage personal interaction, since the psycho level has markedly increased.There have to be some members of the SC fam who play the delivery game. I'd love to hear their thoughts. ###################### That is it this morning.

On Kristin Cavallari's "Let's Be Honest" podcast, Madison claimed that there were "weird" group sex nights and that she believed the Playboy Mansion felt "cult-like" with everyone fawning over Hefner. Madison told Cavallari that the group sex nights began with all the Playboy Bunnies taking turns having sex with Hefner, explaining, "Then the girls who weren't active with him were kind of like acting like they were active with the other girls, but not really." Madison continued, "It would be like kind of silhouetted, because you'd have like these giant screens of porn going, and it would be just girls, like, talking s--- with each other. And it was a really weird scene and nobody liked it and everybody tried to just get it done as fast as possible." FORMER PLAYBOY MODEL HOLLY MADISON ADMITS BEDROOM ACTIVITIES SHE DIDN'T LIKE TO DO WITH HUGH HEFNER Madison told Cavallari that when she started off as a Playboy Bunny, she was required to go out with Hefner (and later have sex with him) twice a week. However, once production began on the reality series "The Girls Next Door," the girls stopped going out with Hefner. "We stopped, not that we wouldn't ever go out if it was like a special occasion, but we stopped those regular club nights where we're going out every Wednesday and Friday, because we were so busy with the show, and he loved the show," Madison said. "He was, like, high off the show. It gave him new relevance, like the ego boost." "So, he didn't really feel the need to, like, ‘Oh, I have to do these compulsive sex nights to make myself feel wanted and relevant,’ I think," she continued. FORMER PLAYBOY TWINS EXPOSE DARK REALITY BEHIND MANSION'S GLAMOROUS FACADE Madison said elsewhere in the podcast that when she began as a Playboy Bunny, her situation was not as competitive or catty. It wasn't until the reality show began that she felt the transition into a different kind of environment. "It was definitely coming mostly from Hef, also from the other girls, because before, it was just me, Bridget [Marquardt] and Kendra [Wilkinson]. There was like a rotating cast of six other slots and nobody got along," she said. "It was super competitive." LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS Madison claimed that Hefner enjoyed engineering drama between the women and "liked to kind of play two different teams against each other, so he always felt fought over and he could always get his way, and we couldn't like, you know … unionize against him." "I was like, ‘Oh s---, he’s been like engineering this the whole time. F--- that,'" Madison said. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER Madison said that Hefner was used to his "cult-like" following from people. According to the former Playboy Bunny, people fawned over him "so they can, like, stay on the party list." Madison became associated with Playboy in the early 2000s and moved into the Playboy Mansion around 2001. She was widely known as one of Hugh Hefner’s main girlfriends from about 2001 to 2008. During that time, she was also featured on "The Girls Next Door" (2005–2009), which documented life at the mansion, though she left both the show and the Playboy lifestyle in 2008. Hefner, the founder of Playboy, died in 2017 at age 91. He passed away at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles from natural causes. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a01d57aa200899a00e9a0d5 Congress must fund every part of DHS and stop playing politics with our safety te 2026-05-11T13:11:22.911Z Congress must fund every part of DHS and stop playing politics with our safety The failure of Congress to provide funding to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and, specifically, to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had real world consequences — our country and its borders were less safe during a time of war, and the men and women in law enforcement were left to wonder if they would receive a paycheck while their lives were on the line. The fact is that protecting our nation’s homeland doesn’t stop, and neither should DHS’ officers’ paychecks. Were it not for the extraordinary measures taken by President Trump and his administration to pay these employees, this crisis would have been even greater. These officers, and our country, are fortunate we averted any disaster or lasting damage. Finally, Congress has voted to end the shutdown after a grueling and agonizing 76 days. It is thanks to the continued efforts of President Trump and his administration that the spending measure reached his desk and was signed into law. However, this bill still leaves immigration enforcement agencies like ICE and CBP unfunded because of partisan policy disputes. In order to rectify this issue, Congressional leaders are turning to budget reconciliation, a process that began with the Senate’s recent passage of a budget resolution, S. Con. Res. 33. This is the first step in the reconciliation process that will allow Congress to fund our immigration enforcement agencies. BORDER CZAR HOMAN VOWS TO 'FLOOD' NEW YORK WIHT ICE AGENTS DESPITE HOCHUL'S RESISTANCE  The appropriations process has been wrecked by partisan policy fights, which is a grave disservice to our nation. If the House can pass the Senate resolution, we would be on track for President Trump to sign it into law by 1 June. Any changes to the bill as written would require it to be returned to the Senate, creating an unacceptable delay and putting the entire process at risk. We are calling on every single member of Congress to pass this reconciliation bill and fund every part of DHS as soon as possible. Delay is unacceptable. It is said that we must learn from history or we are condemned to repeat it. We must remember this lesson — leaving DHS unfunded for over 70 days is unprecedented and frankly, shameful. It was also dangerous and should never happen again Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a01d567a200899a00e9a0cc House Freedom Caucus vows 'gloves are coming off' as FISA deadline looms te 2026-05-11T13:11:03.457Z House Freedom Caucus vows 'gloves are coming off' as FISA deadline looms Conservative House Republicans are escalating a fight over government surveillance as Congress reopens debate this week on a controversial warrantless spying program. Members of the House Freedom Caucus are pledging to hold firm on adding a permanent ban on central bank digital currency (CBDC) to any legislation that reauthorizes Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). But the proposal faces widespread opposition from Senate Democrats and is viewed as dead on arrival in the upper chamber. The cross-chamber standoff threatens to complicate Congress’ ability to meet a mid-June deadline to renew the spy law, which the Trump administration argues is a critical national security tool.  "If the Senate thinks they're going to keep rolling over us, it's just not going to happen," Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, said at a news conference in late April, referring to the Senate’s opposition to including a CBDC ban in a FISA renewal bill. SPEAKER JOHNSON ONE STEP CLOSER TO RENEWING CONTROVERSIAL SPY PROGRAM AFTER CONSERVATIVES FALL IN LINE Both chambers in April approved a 45-day FISA extension to allow for more time for negotiations. House GOP privacy hawks objected to the short-term measure, citing its omission of a CBDC ban.  "CBDC can still make it across the finish line. Let's just push on," the Texas Republican added. "The Senate will respond to the people if they push hard enough. I'm positive on it." GOP privacy hawks argue a CBDC ban is a critical privacy guardrail against the Federal Reserve issuing a digital currency that could be used to surveil and potentially cut access to Americans’ financial transactions. "They don't want the government monitoring their bank accounts, telling them what they can buy, when they can buy it and when they're not allowed to buy," Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., said at a news conference, referring to his constituents’ concerns about a government-issued digital token. The group has repeatedly sought to add a CBDC ban to various legislation over the past year, but has not yet been able to get a permanent ban on President Donald Trump's desk. During his confirmation hearing, Federal Reserve chair nominee Kevin Warsh said he would not issue a CBDC during his term, calling the proposal a "bad policy choice." HOUSE GOP SLAMMED BY CONSERVATIVES FOR JOINING DEMS ON CONTROVERSIAL 'KILL SWITCH' AMENDMENT The push to ban CBDCs is part of a broader effort by conservative Republicans to ramp up their fight against government surveillance.  "Americans don’t want Big Brother in their cars, their bank accounts, or their homes," a spokesperson for the conservative House Freedom Caucus told Fox News Digital. "The gloves are coming off before FISA expires on June 12." Roy, the HFC’s policy chief, is pushing to repeal a Biden-era provision requiring a federal agency to draft a rule mandating impaired driver technology in new cars that could shut off vehicles if drunk driving is detected. The federal government has not yet moved forward with drafting the "kill switch" regulation. "Do you really want to put that kind of data collection mandated inside every car? At what point is there just literally no privacy at all anywhere?" Roy said during a hearing in late April in support of adding a "kill switch" repeal amendment to FISA extension legislation. GOP privacy hawks have also advocated for language that would add a judicial warrant requirement to the FISA renewal bill. While the law targets foreigners overseas using U.S. platforms, their communications with Americans can also be swept up and reviewed. Privacy advocates in the Democratic Party have also long pushed for a warrant requirement to gather information on Americans. The Trump administration initially sought a clean 18-month extension of the spy law, but quickly ran into problems with a mix of conservative and progressive privacy hawks. "We're not going to pass something that's a long-term, clean reauthorization," Roy said. "I think that's been taken off the table. We've demonstrated that, and we're going to get reforms."

Another wasted road race for the NASCAR Cup Series. Just a giant waste of time and breath. You finally have a little momentum during a season that's been, frankly, boring, and you just piss it all away by going to a road course. Nothing against road courses, of course. They're fine. They used to be fun. Now, they're the ultimate snoozer. Shane Van Gisbergen won, again, Sunday at Watkins Glen. Let me rephrase that ... SVG was 29 seconds back after a late pit stop, and still won the race ... by seven seconds. That's how dominant he was. Nobody else stood a chance. SVG's the purest road racer the Cup Series has ever seen. There, I said it. It's him, and THEN Boris Said. But now, SVG will go back to the middle of the pack until late June when the fellas head to San Diego and then Sonoma. Good seeing you, SVG! Have a nice vacation. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE What else do y'all wanna hit on today? Again, it wasn't the most exciting automobile race ever, but we'll cobble something together. I've got Bubba Wallace and Christopher Bell exchanging pleasantries after the race. How does that sound? I've also got Cody Ware in an insane crash, Amazon Prime is on deck, and Natalie Decker had a GREAT run down in the Truck series over the weekend. And by that, I mean she was so horrifically slow, she was basically ejected from the race 20 laps in. Amazing. Impressive, really. Four tires, just a splash of fuel because I need to be able to afford dinner later, and maybe a towel for the rest of the field after SVG wiped the floor with them all day ... Monday Morning Pit-Stop — the "SVG dominated another road course, so we're going to have to dig deep for content today" edition — is LIVE! Look, it's impressive. I'm not going to sit here and dump on SVG because he's that much better than everyone else on a road course. Look at that drive through the field. Yes, he was on fresher tires, but still ... I don't think anyone else could do it. They certainly couldn't do it that quickly. But is it good for NASCAR? Is Shane Van Gisbergen dominating every single road course good for a sport that A) has a lot of road races on the schedule, and B) is struggling with Mr. Nielsen this season? If this was Jeff Gordon — and by the way, it was for a period in the '90s — it would be fine, right? If this were an Earnhardt or a Gordon or an Elliott, it would all be ham and eggs, I assume. But, it's not. It's a relatively new and unknown driver to the series who comes from a very different racing background and a much different part of the world, and he's now torching the rest of the field a few times a year while struggling on the ovals and speedways. He provides some incredible moments on road race weeks, and then sort of goes invisible for the next handful of months until the next road course. I personally don't think it's good for NASCAR, at all. I don't want to take anything away from SVG (which is what folks say when they want to take something away), but I'm firmly in that camp. It makes the races boring. I have a feeling Sunday's race at Watkins Glen is going to do abysmal numbers. Maybe I'll be wrong. I doubt it, though. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! I'd also venture to say that I'm in the majority on this one, which isn't usually the case with my NASCAR opinions. I just don't think folks love SVG boat-racing the rest of the field. I could go on and on. Trust me. And yes, there are plenty of folks with the obligatory, "You have to appreciate greatness!" line. I get that, too. But come on. Until SVG wins a race outside a road course, I don't think he's going to resonate with anyone. Hell, he doesn't even have to win one. Just sniff a win on a regular track. Just "be there at the end," as DW used to say. And then, we'll talk. Until then? Eh. I don't think he's moving the needle for the casual fan, no matter how impressive the drive is. OK, let's move on ... to someone who DOES move the needle for the NASCAR folks: Bubba Wallace! OutKick and Fox News fan-favorite, Bubba Wallace! So, Bubba's spotter says he wasn't mad, but nobody knows anything beyond that? Seems odd to me. Bubba, by the way, was actually wrecked later in the race by John Hunter Nemechek. Perhaps he got JHN and Christopher Bell mixed up? Lord knows I have before: I'm kidding. Relax. Nobody ever confuses two white NASCAR drivers! In any event, Bubba finished 29th at Watkins Glen, which I'm sure most of you are just distraught over. Chin up! Bubba will be back up front in no time! OK, let's put the pedal to the floor and shift this second-Monday-of-May into high gear. First up? For some reason, NASCAR didn't throw a late caution for this Cody Ware wreck. I know Cody wrecks A LOT, but ... this one seemed worthy of a yellow: NASCAR either A) missed it, or B) saw it was Cody Ware and refused to stop another race for Cody Ware. I'm going to assume it's the second one, because that's more fun. And yes, I know, Fox didn't show the wreck. Spare me the emails. I ain't bringing it up, for obvious reasons. For those who truly hate the production, Sunday's All-Star race at Dover will be the final Fox broadcast of the year. We move to Amazon Prime for the next five races before TNT and USA Network take over for all July and August. It'll be nice to hear Dale Jr. again. Sad to lose Mike Joy. Next? Let's give the minor league series' some love on the way out! Natalie Decker had a great day at Watkins Glen! Amazing. Coming in last and having a "too slow" next to your name on the official stat sheet has to be just humiliating. Natalie, to be fair, blamed the lack of speed on an electrical issue in both practice, qualifying and the race. Seems like something you'd think they'd get figured out before the green flag drops, but whatever. Nothing a little nicotine lipper won't fix: Incredible. Where do we stand on women who pack nicotine pouches? Do we think Natalie actually does this? Lord knows I use them a dozen times a day, but I also assume I'm more of the target audience. Anyway, that's our big question of the week. Where do we stand on women who dip? It's a weird question, admittedly, but I'm also having to dig deep because SVG is still lapping the field this morning. It ain't easy. OK, let's go ahead and head off into the middle-week-of-May with Sam Busch channeling her inner Ella Langley for reasons unknown. See you at Dover!

"That has given us tremendous joy and hope that we’ve just not had since the beginning," Grace Jin Drexel said on "Fox News Sunday," revealing she had received information that Trump is expected to mention her father Ezra Jin Mingri's name at a summit with Xi. "It's been several months now, we're just so excited, so grateful for the president," she added. Drexel’s father is among dozens of religious leaders affiliated with Zion Church who have been detained in China, as authorities intensify pressure on underground Christian groups. CHINESE UNDERGROUND CHURCH PASTOR, FATHER OF US CITIZENS, DETAINED BY AUTHORITIES, FAMILY SAYS Family members say their ability to track his condition has worsened after lawyers representing the detainees were targeted by officials, with some disbarred, detained or forced off the case. The Drexel family says they do know, however, that Grace's father has been unable to get the medications prescribed to treat his conditions. WATCHDOG HIGHLIGHTS NATIONS WHERE CHRISTIANS FACE PERSECUTION AROUND THE GLOBE "And we know prison conditions... they are horrible, so we know that we're extremely concerned about his health," she said. "He has severe type 2 diabetes and without proper medication, there can be tremendous potential risk to his health even further, so we would love for him to be able to be released as soon as possible." The family expects Trump to mention Jin's name at a minimum. Nevertheless, their hope for a "miracle" is still strong. "[Mentioning his name] alone is a major victory, but our real hope is for a miracle, and that miracle would be his release, unconditionally, that he could come to the United States, be reunited with his American family," said Grace's husband, Bill. "When his young sons last saw him, they were in elementary and middle school. They're now in college and headed to college, so we were really hoping that he's able to make it out."

The American Academy of Pediatrics released updated guidance for the first time in more than a decade that urges schools to protect recess, highlighting that the unstructured break delivers major benefits for kids' health, learning and behavior. "It has a very powerful benefit if it’s used to the fullest," said Dr. Robert Murray, a lead author of the new guidance, which was published Monday in the journal Pediatrics. Researchers say recess helps students reset between lessons, improving focus and memory. It also gives kids time to build social skills, boost confidence and stay physically active, a key factor as 1 in 5 U.S. children and teens struggle with obesity. THIS SIMPLE OUTDOOR ACTIVITY CAN IMPROVE AMERICANS' HEALTH, SAYS GOVERNOR Despite those benefits, recess time has been shrinking for years. Since the mid-2000s, up to 40% of school districts have reduced or eliminated it, according to data from the Springboard to Active Schools group and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The group is pushing schools to reverse that trend, recommending at least 20 minutes of daily recess and multiple breaks. It further warned against using it as punishment. "If the child is disruptive or rude and disrespectful, recess is one of the things that teachers use to punish kids," Murray said, noting that those students often need it most. GOV. KATHY HOCHUL: WHY NEW YORK IS SAVING EDUCATION BY GETTING PHONES OUT OF CLASSROOMS Doctors also stress that recess isn’t just for younger children. As screen time rises, older students need time to unplug, move and recharge. "As kids get older, they’re more on their screens," said Dr. Lauren Fiechtner, a pediatric specialist. "So it’s really helpful, I think, for outdoor activity and recess to be happening. Recess is great. We all kind of need recess." In other countries such as Denmark, Japan and the United Kingdom, students already get more frequent breaks, often after every 45 to 50 minutes of instruction. Experts say this model could help U.S. schools improve both learning and student well-being. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Jacob Fatu was looking to make a statement against Roman Reigns, Trick Williams hoped to prove he wasn’t a fluke and The Miz and Kit Wilson tried to escape a "curse." For the most part, Backlash went as planned. Reigns defeated Fatu to retain the World Heavyweight Championship but received a vicious beatdown after the match was over. Williams defended the United States Championship against Sami Zayn as the challenger was distracted by Lil Yachty during the match. The WWE Universe was abuzz with who Danhausen’s mystery partner was going to be. Wilson and The Miz saw as Mini-hausen emerged from a "cloning machine" to provide backup to the "Very Nice, Very Evil" superstar. Danhausen received a whole bunch of help from a few Mini-hausens through the match. In the end, it was Danhausen who scored a pin on The Miz. Meanwhile, Bron Breakker picked up one of the biggest victories of his career when he defeated Seth Rollins. Breakker nailed Rollins with a torpedo spear at the end of a hard-fought match. Then, there was the Iyo Sky-Asuka match ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Iyo Sky and Asuka put on arguably the match of the night during Backlash. The bad blood that had festered between the two competitors came to a boiling point. Asuka had painted Sky with her poison mist in a confrontation before the match. But it was Sky who would get the better of Asuka. Two Bullet Train Attacks from Sky and the Over the Moonsault is what helped Sky to the victory. Asuka tried to blind Sky with poison mist, but Sky put up Wade Barrett’s notebook to block the blue. Sky hit the Over the Moonsault perfectly and got the three count. But what happened next may have signaled a new road for Asuka. Asuka was seen in tears as she and Sky embraced in the middle of the ring. Before the match, Asuka posted a cryptic photo of herself looking out the window. Then, Sky posted a message about her match for Asuka on X. "Our story comes to its final chapter with today's match," she wrote. "The moment the match ended, my heart was filled with all sorts of emotions. "Meeting ASUKA-san, Spending the same time together, Being able to learn so much up close -- These are irreplaceable treasures to me. Thank you so much ASUKA-San. We love you ASUKA-San." This didn’t appear to be the end for Asuka but it definitely felt like a "see you later" moment. WWE STAR DANHAUSEN REFLECTS ON FIRST MONTHS WITH COMPANY, GIVES UPDATE ON DANHAUSENETTES It was only a one-hour event, but All Elite Wrestling's (AEW) "Fairway to Hell" special received high praise on Saturday night. The matches were held at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, which is an indoor golf center that holds The Golf League events. The greenery and the sand traps stayed in place as the ring was set up in the middle of it all. Darby Allin defended the AEW World Championship against Pac, Mark Davis became the new AEW national champion with a victory over Jack Perry, The Divine Dominion of Megan Bayne and Lena Kross made easy work of Rachel Ley and Ruthie Slay and "Speedball" Mike Bailey defeated Kiran Grey. Aside from the wrestling, the stunning visuals of Allin throwing Pac into a bunker and Pac tossing Allin off the second deck left fans delighted. It was definitely a risk to use the venue for pro wrestling, but it paid off in AEW’s favor. There will certainly have to be another taping or two from the facility in the future. Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) has a major star in Leon Slater and if fate has it, he will set a record should he defeat Cedric Alexander for the title later this week. Slater and Alexander will battle it out on Thursday night on "Impact." If Slater wins, he will be the longest reigning X Division champion surpassing Austin Aries. Aries held the TNA X Division Championship for 298 days after winning it at No Surrender 2011. He later vacated the championship in exchange for a shot at the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Slater won the title in July 2025 at Slammiversary. Aries reacted to Slater approaching his record at the end of April. "Big fan of @LEONSLATER_ and I have no doubt he will surpass my record, but he will also do it having never stepped in the ring with me. Number of days is great, but quantity ≠ quality," he wrote on X. Mason Rook has only been with WWE NXT for two weeks and he has already made it clear that he has his sights set on the NXT Championship. NXT champion Tony D’Angelo went one-on-one with Tavion Heights in a non-title match on Tuesday night. Kam Hendrix interfered in the match, but NXT North American champion Myles Borne came in and chased him off. D’Angelo hit Heights with Dead to Rights and won the match. As D’Angelo was paying his respect to Heights, Rook attacked him from behind. Rook picked up D’Angelo over his shoulders and drove him into Heights, who was seated in the corner. Rook was the one standing tall. "My name is Mason Rook and I’ve arrived in NXT," he said to the camera. Rook, formerly known as Will Kroos, made a name for himself in Progress Wrestling where he was the Progress atlas champion. He also spent time on the independent circuit in Britain as well as Pro Wrestling Noah in Japan. "Like I said, Mason Rook has arrived in NXT," he said as he walked to the back. "And if you didn’t know, now you know." John Cena also showed support for Rook. Darby Allin and Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) have to hash out the final details but it looks like they are trending toward a hair vs. title match at Double or Nothing for the AEW World Championship. Allin still has to defend his title on "Dynamite," but MJF will be expected to show up and sign the match contract if he wants to keep contending for the title. On its face, the card is pretty stacked. Double or Nothing will take place on May 24 at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York. While John Cena’s earth-shattering news was announced at Backlash, another significant reveal was made that would affect the pro wrestling world. Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA) will host its premiere event, TripleMania, over the course of two nights in September. The first night will be Sept. 11 at a location still to be announced. The second night will occur on Sept. 13 at the Mexico City Arena. It’s the first time that Triplemania will be held over two nights. It will be the 34th Triplemania in the company’s history.

The waterfalls are located in McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park in Shasta County, California, about 60 miles northeast of Redding. Burney Falls is known for its year-round flow — even in drought conditions — and for water that appears to beautifully pour directly from its volcanic rock cliffs. ISLAND CRACKS DOWN AS TOURISTS ARE SLAPPED WITH NEW FEES, FED-UP LOCALS REVOLT The waterfalls were once called the "Eighth Wonder of the World" by Theodore Roosevelt, according to SFGate. But that beauty has come at a price, and officials are launching a pilot program beginning May 15 to limit access and ease overcrowding. The park is now requiring advance booking until Sept. 27, and will only allow 241 vehicles per day while the pilot program is in place. SUMMER BEACH BATTLE BETWEEN LOCALS AND VISITORS HEATS UP AS OVERTOURISM SOARS Burney Falls was previously shielded from overtourism "due to its rural location in northeastern California and lack of publicity," a May 1 California State Parks statement said. "For generations of visitors, it had the reputation of a small, family-oriented park and one of California’s best-kept secrets," officials said. "However, over the past decade, and especially with the growth of social media, that secret is now world-famous." CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE STORIES Annual visitor numbers have roughly doubled since 2015, which pushes the park "beyond a sustainable capacity and creat[es] a host of problems." Those issues include environmental damage, traffic backups, illegal parking, safety concerns and sanitation issues. Reservations will be required on Fridays through Sundays, and visitors must book day-use reservations in advance, with limited morning, afternoon and full-day parking slots available for $10 per vehicle. Same-day reservations will not be permitted, and all visitors, including annual pass holders, are required to reserve ahead. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER "Oversized vehicles, vehicles pulling other types of trailers, buses and recreational vehicles are not allowed in the park during the day-use reservation period," the statement said. "Tour buses and commercial tour groups are not allowed in the park without a pre-approved permit." California State Parks said the pilot program is intended to "reduce the impacts of overcrowding." The program's goals "are to alleviate the strain on the park’s resources and infrastructure, and to improve visitor safety during the busiest summer days, when large crowds often overwhelm the park and the surrounding area." The program also aims to prevent visitors from being turned away as the park frequently reaches capacity on weekends. Armando Quintero, state parks director, described Burney Falls as "a crown jewel of the California State Park System." "We want all visitors to have an enjoyable and memorable experience when visiting this one-of-a-kind destination," he said. "By allowing visitors to make a reservation in advance, we can help keep crowds manageable and not push the park’s resources past the breaking point."

"I don't want loyalty, but I do want and expect it for our Country," Trump's 545-word Truth Social post read Sunday night, showing his disappointment in Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett. "Yes, I have another way of doing Tariffs, but it is far slower, and more laborious than what was just determined, in a close decision, to be 'illegal' or 'unconstitutional,' with three powerful, and highly accurate, dissents! Well, maybe Neil, and Amy, just had a really bad day, but our Country can only handle so many decisions of that magnitude before it breaks down, and cracks!!!" "Sometimes decisions have to be allowed to use Good, Strong, Common Sense as a guide." TRUMP SAYS SUPREME COURT RULING AGAINST BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP ORDER WOULD BENEFIT CHINA "A negative ruling on Birthright Citizenship, on top of the recent Supreme Court Tariff catastrophe, is not Economically sustainable for the United States of America!" The birthright citizenship ruling remains pending before the Supreme Court, with a decision expected before the end of June or in early July. Trump has sought to end the practice of "birth tourism," where foreign nationals have put their family's stake in automatic U.S. citizenship of their children born while in the U.S. "I choose people to help our Country, not to hurt it," Trump's post read, "and now, based on what I witnessed recently by being the first President in History to attend a Supreme Court session (Which fact was not even recognized or acknowledged, out of respect for the position of President, by the Court — Something which did not go unnoticed by the Fake News Media!), they will be ruling against us on Birthright Citizenship, making us the only Country in the World that practices this unsustainable, unsafe, and incredibly costly DISASTER." JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS: WE'RE NOT 'POLITICAL ACTORS,' NOT AN 'ACCURATE UNDERSTANDING' OF US The Supreme Court delivered a 6-3 decision against Trump's International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) use of tariffs for national security and trade in late February. Gorsuch, Barrett and Chief Justice John Roberts ruled with liberal Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Only Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh dissented against the constitutionality of using IEEPA to levy tariffs on foreign goods and countries amid multiple wars. "I 'Love' Justice Neil Gorsuch! He’s a really smart and good man, but he voted against me, and our Country, on Tariffs, a devastating move," Trump's post began. "How do I reconcile this? So bad, and hurtful to our Country. I have, likewise, always liked and respected Amy Coney Barrett, but the same thing with her. SUPREME COURT KILLS TRUMP’S ‘LIBERATION DAY’ TARIFFS — BUT 4 OTHER LAWS COULD RESURRECT THEM "They were appointed by me, and yet have hurt our Country so badly! I do not believe they meant to do so, but their decision on Tariffs cost the United States 159 Billion Dollars that we have to pay back to enemies, and people, companies, and Countries, that have been ripping us off for years. It’s hardly believable!" Trump added he was fine with the ruling if they had just not left the door open for companies to come back to ask for the tariffs money back, something the ruling did not expressly allow, but ultimately has forced the Trump administration to respond to. "They could have solved that situation with a 'tiny' sentence, 'Any money paid by others to the United States does not have to be paid back,'" Trump wrote. "Why wouldn’t they have done so? CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS WARNS AGAINST PERSONAL ATTACKS ON JUDGES AS ‘DANGEROUS’ AFTER TRUMP COURT TIRADE "With certain Republican Nominated Justices that we have on the Supreme Court, the Democrats don’t really need to 'PACK THE COURT' any longer. In fact, I should be the one wanting to PACK THE COURT!" Trump suggested some of the conservative justices should follow the liberal justices' political interpretations of the law on behalf of the people and ideology they represent. "I'm working so hard to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and then people that I appointed have shown so little respect to our Country, and its people," he continued. "What is the reason for this? They have to do the right thing, but it’s really OK for them to be loyal to the person that appointed them to 'almost' the highest position in the land, that is, a Justice of the United States Supreme Court." "Democrat Justices always remain true to the people that honored them for that very special Nomination. They don’t waver, no matter how good or bad a case may be, but Republican Justices often go out of their way to oppose me, because they want to show how 'independent' or, 'above it all,' they are."

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a01b959a200899a00e99986 We will all pay for the Democrats’ antitrust crusade that killed Spirit Airlines te 2026-05-11T11:11:21.688Z We will all pay for the Democrats’ antitrust crusade that killed Spirit Airlines Summer is almost here and many Americans are worried they won’t be able to take a vacation. The cost of airfare alone is up a whopping 18% over the same time in 2025. Flying to the beach or Disney World has become unaffordable for many middle-class families and the future looks bleak. Spirit Airlines, a major budget air carrier, canceled all flights and announced on May 2 that it's going out of business, leaving fliers stranded with fewer low-cost options. Spirit’s demise is the direct fault of the Biden administration, which killed a business deal that would have saved the airline. They were cheered on by key Democrats who need to be held accountable for their economic malpractice. In 2022, Spirit and JetBlue announced they planned to merge into a new airline. The carrier would have combined the best of both businesses, leveraging JetBlue’s global scale in service of Spirit’s low prices. DUFFY BLAMES BIDEN-BUTTIGIEG TEAM FOR SPIRIT AIRLINES COLLAPSE AFTER BLOCKED MERGER Not only that, the deal would have created a budget competitor to the so-called Big Four — Delta, Southwest, American and United — driving down prices across the airline industry. Advantage: mom and pop flier. More competition almost always equates to lower prices. Yet the Biden administration would spend the next two years harassing JetBlue and Spirit, blocking their merger because they decided the resulting company would be too big. It takes a lot of nerve for a $7 trillion federal government to complain about a $3.8 billion business agreement, but then this was increasingly the norm in Washington. Helmed by left-wing radical Lina Khan at the Federal Trade Commission and then-Attorney General Merrick Garland and then-Assistant Attorney General for the Antitrust Division Jonathan Kanter at the Department of Justice, the feds’ standard for antitrust enforcement was shifting from "is this bad for the consumer?" to "are we in a mood this morning?" TRUMP CAN REIN IN BIDEN’S OUT-OF-CONTROL ANTITRUST OPERATION At one point, Khan and Biden had 40% of the companies on the S&P market cap under investigation. It was this arbitrary anti-business mentality that ultimately killed the Spirit-JetBlue merger. The Biden team convinced a liberal judge to rule against the deal and that was that.  After the ruling, Garland boasted that the merger "would have caused tens of millions of travelers to face higher fares and fewer choices." Reads a bit differently now that Spirit Airlines is dead, doesn’t it?  It wasn’t just Garland. Pete Buttigieg, who served as Biden’s secretary of Transportation, bragged about joining the harassment campaign against Spirit and JetBlue, saying he was "supporting the DOJ’s lawsuit" as well as "using our own authorities." TRUMP HAS SET THE STAGE FOR AN AMERICAN COMEBACK AFTER BIDEN’S DISMAL ECONOMY Democratic state attorneys general also fought the merger tooth and nail, with Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser going so far as to call the successful challenge of the JetBlue/Spirit merger a one of the "guideposts on the road" for state enforcers to follow in the future. And, of course, Democrat Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren tweeted that Biden’s lackeys "were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation." In fact, it was the merger that was anti-consolidation by creating a new challenger to the Big Four. It was the merger that was pro-consumer by spurring competition and lowering airfares. TRAVELER SLAMS 'AWFUL' EXPERIENCE OF CANCELED FLIGHTS AS BUDGET AIRLINE ANNOUNCES CREDITOR AGREEMENT And it was the merger that would have kept Spirit Airlines alive, saving 17,000 jobs. Only eight months after the JetBlue-Spirit deal was blocked, Spirit announced it was filing for bankruptcy. It would do so again less than a year later. Now, not only is Spirit gone, JetBlue could be next. The company has been struggling financially since the merger was blocked, with one estimate placing JetBlue’s odds of filing for bankruptcy this year at "greater than 75 percent." As for summer vacationers, data from Cirium Analytics estimates that Spirit’s budget pricing helped lower airfares by 14%. Meaning the cost of flying is about to surge, again. Such bedlam at the airport lies at the doorstep of Democrats, who see government bureaucrats as an enlightened caste able to better manage the lives of businesses and consumers. To them, antitrust is just another tool to be wielded by these benevolent overseers. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION The Spirit fiasco shows how wrong they are. What Buttigieg, Garland and Khan really gave us was less competition, fewer options for consumers, higher prices, fewer jobs and more economic power concentrated in established companies.  Hopefully, the Trump administration uses this moment to institute a course correction. The White House should use this moment in time to have a heart to heart with the lawyers and bureaucrats inside the Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission, instructing them to only interfere in future mergers that pose clear demonstrable harms to consumers and the competitive marketplace. It came too late to save Spirit, but the time is now to consign Democrat economics to the dustbin of history. Spirit Airlines — to say nothing of hard-working American families — deserved better.

According to a study published in Nature Neuroscience, the secret to this internal wash cycle may lie in the abdominal muscles. In mice models, the researchers found that the brain is mechanically linked to the abdomen through a network of blood vessels that functions like a hydraulic system. FITNESS EXPERT REVEALS SIMPLE RULE TO GET IN SHAPE WITHOUT DREADING THE GYM: 'JUST MOVE' "Every time the mice contract their abdominal muscles — like when they walk — blood moves from the abdomen into the spinal canal," said lead study author Patrick Drew, professor of engineering science and mechanics, neurosurgery, biology and biomedical engineering at Penn State, in a press release. This movement of blood applies a tiny amount of pressure to the brain, causing it to physically shift or "sway" slightly within the skull. This subtle brain movement occurs within a system where the brain is surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), a clear liquid that acts as a cleaning agent. Scientists have long believed that CSF helps flush out cellular waste that, if left to accumulate, is linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, according to Drew. By using advanced computer simulations, the team discovered that when the brain moves, it can drive fluid movement in the brain. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ The physical displacement drives the flow of CSF through the brain’s tissues, potentially carrying away harmful waste products. "Our research explains how just moving around might serve as an important physiological mechanism promoting brain health," Drew said. To confirm that abdominal pressure was the primary driver, the researchers tested the effect on the mice. Even without exercise or general movement, simply applying gentle pressure to a mouse’s belly — less pressure than a human feels during a standard blood pressure test — was enough to shift the brain and trigger fluid flow, they found. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER "We were surprised at how tightly linked the brain motion was to the abdominal muscle contraction," Drew said. There were a few caveats, the researchers acknowledged. Because the study used mice and not humans, more research is needed to determine whether the results apply to people. CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES Additionally, the researchers used simulations to track fluid movement rather than measuring the flow directly in a living brain. Drew added, "Our research shows that a little bit of motion is good, and it could be another reason why exercise is good for our brain health."

But ESPN is adamant that the network did not offer him $7 million per year, as "reported" by Awful Announcing. Burke Magnus, ESPN executive vice president of programming and original content, pushed back Sunday after the sports media blog published a story headlined, "ESPN reportedly offered Steve Kerr $7M annually." Magnus quote-posted the story on X and wrote, "For anyone that may care, this is not true." Awful Announcing later updated its story with a stronger denial from Magnus. "We have too much respect for Coach Kerr. We were not even going to engage until he made a decision on coaching," Magnus said, according to the blog. The original report came from Tim Kawakami of the San Francisco Standard, who did not say that ESPN offered Kerr $7 million. Kawakami wrote Saturday that Kerr "can walk into a top analyst’s job anytime he wants," that ESPN was "especially aggressive about the chase" and was "probably offering up to $7 million per." He also wrote that ESPN was willing to meet almost any possible condition, including keeping Kerr away from hot-take panel shows. Awful Announcing, which lived up to its name with this story, decided to write that ESPN offered Kerr $7 million per year. The network clearly did not appreciate the misleading aggregation and responded publicly, which only underscored how strongly ESPN objected to the framing. Kerr agreed to a two-year deal to remain with Golden State, ending weeks of uncertainty about whether he would continue coaching Stephen Curry and the Warriors. Kawakami reported that Kerr’s annual salary is expected to remain near the $17.5 million figure he earned previously, which keeps him as the NBA’s highest-paid coach. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Of course, ESPN’s interest in Kerr made perfect sense. As OutKick wrote last week, Kerr was a perfect fit for ESPN. Sure, Kerr is a four-time NBA champion as a head coach, a five-time champion as a player, a former TNT broadcaster and one of the most recognizable figures in the sport. But there was another obvious reason Kerr would fit in with the left-leaning sports network. Kerr is an outspoken progressive. He has spent years weighing in on gun control, immigration, Donald Trump and other political issues. He also recently sounded like a man trying to clean up some of that record, admitting he was "wrong" on Hong Kong and saying he regretted calling Trump a "buffoon" in a softball New Yorker interview. ESPN wanting him for its NBA coverage was logical. ESPN offering him a $7 million-per-year contract, according to a top company executive, was not true. The network has spent years trying to stabilize its NBA booth. It fired Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson, brought in Doc Rivers before he left for the Bucks, elevated Doris Burke, watched J.J. Redick leave to coach the Lakers and eventually moved Tim Legler into the lead group with Mike Breen and Richard Jefferson. ESPN also secured the rights to distribute TNT’s "Inside the NBA" as part of its larger NBA media push. So, yes, Kerr would have made sense. And Magnus didn't deny interest in Kerr; he denied that the company would even offer Kerr a formal contract before he made a decision about his coaching future. Perhaps they were prepared to pay Kerr $7 million annually, or maybe more. Perhaps they weren't willing to go that high. The public may never know since Kerr is headed back to the Warriors on a two-year deal. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE He probably would have made ESPN’s NBA broadcasts better from a pure basketball perspective. There's no question Kerr has a high basketball IQ. He also would have given the network another high-profile progressive voice, which, whether ESPN wants to admit it or not, is exactly the kind of sports personality it has spent years elevating. But for now, Kerr is staying in Golden State. And ESPN wants everyone to know it did not offer him $7 million per year to leave.

Bob Krygier points into the dense brush. "You can throw something under the tree right there, in this brush right back here," he says. "We could walk past...I guarantee you we've walked by things that are probably suspicious in nature, dead animals, things like that, and you're just not going to see them the terrain itself acts as a natural hide for things." He's in what locals call a "wash." They are the pathways that water escapes during heavy rainfall, also known as ephemeral rivers, and they appear all over Tucson and the surrounding Pima County. "Hundreds upon hundreds [of] these throughout the county and the city, if not thousands," he told Fox News Digital earlier this week. "They're just literally everywhere. It's just the nature of the terrain, the way the geography was made." FORMER FBI AGENT 'STUNNED' BY UNFORGIVING CONDITIONS COMPLICATING NANCY GUTHRIE SEARCH They can also be natural escape routes, he said. He spent almost three decades with the Pima County Sheriff's Department, the lead agency in the search for the 84-year-old mother of "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie. In that time, he said he chased countless suspects into the washes. Authorities have also recovered the remains of other missing persons many times over the years.

"But it's close enough to where if you did some scouting days and weeks ahead of time, which there's some evidence that says they might have been out here prior to that night, this would be an area that I would look at and say, 'All right, let's figure this out.

That's because the U.S. cattle herd has fallen to its smallest size in 75 years, after years of drought, rising feed costs and an aging ranching workforce forced producers to scale back. "The biggest thing has been drought," Eric Belasco, head of the agricultural economics department at Montana State University, told Fox News Digital. Years of dry weather have wiped out grasslands across the West and Plains, leaving ranchers without enough feed or water to sustain their herds. Many have been forced to sell cattle early, including breeding cows needed to produce the next generation of calves, making it harder to rebuild. Drought quickly makes it harder and more expensive for ranchers to raise cattle. As conditions worsen, hay production falls, feed gets more expensive and herd sizes shrink, according to data from the Kansas City Federal Reserve. IN TEXAS CATTLE COUNTRY, ONE RANCHER WELCOMES TRUMP’S FOCUS ON DECADES OF THIN MARGINS But even when conditions improve, rebuilding the herd takes time. "The fact of the matter is there’s really nothing anybody can do to change this very quickly," said Derrell Peel, a professor of agricultural economics at Oklahoma State University. "We’re in a tight supply situation that took several years to develop, and it’ll take several years to get out of it." Peel, who specializes in livestock marketing, said it takes roughly two years to bring cattle to market, and several more years to rebuild herds, leaving little room for short-term relief. TRUMP'S BEEF IMPORT PLAN IGNORES KEY ISSUE SQUEEZING AMERICAN CATTLE RANCHERS And the supply crunch is only part of the story. The U.S. beef industry is also highly concentrated, with four major companies—Tyson, JBS, Cargill and National Beef—processing about 85% of the nation’s grain-fed cattle. That dominance has drawn scrutiny from regulators, including a Department of Justice investigation into potential antitrust issues and pricing practices in the meatpacking industry. Critics argue that level of consolidation gives meatpackers significant influence over prices, while industry groups say the market remains competitive. Higher prices haven’t scared off consumers. According to U.S. Department of Agriculture data, the average price of beef climbed from about $8.70 per pound in March 2025 to $10.08 a year later, an increase of roughly 16%. Even so, demand has held up. In 2025, shoppers spent more than $45 billion on beef, buying more than 6.2 billion pounds, according to data from Beef Research, a contractor for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association. Spending jumped about 12% from a year earlier, while the amount of beef sold rose more than 4%—a sign consumers aren’t just paying more, they’re buying more.

According to Norfolk Police, officers arrived on the scene after receiving reports that "a man was behaving in an intimidating manner in the village," and later arrested the man on "suspicion of a public order offence and possession of an offensive weapon." "Alex Jenkinson, aged 39 and of Stowmarket, Suffolk has since been charged with two counts of using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour to harass someone or cause alarm or distress and failing to provide a specimen of blood in custody," officials told Fox News Digital. Jenkinson is accused of approaching Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor while wearing a mask and shouting abuse at the former prince while he was walking his dogs near his home in the area. He ultimately pleaded not guilty to the charges while in court on May 8. EX-PRINCE ANDREW ‘VULNERABLE’ TO CRIMINAL CHARGES AFTER LOSING ROYAL PROTECTION STATUS: EXPERTS British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital that the "recent scary masked man confrontation has left him shaken and worried for his safety," and has reopened the discussion surrounding Andrew's security. "There are rumours he wants his old security back, although he was unscathed," she said. "His private protection officer dealt with the confrontation and aftermath. The King is understood to be funding Andrews ‘exile’ at Marsh Farm, including former royal protection cops. They are not armed. Allegedly some stay in a cabin in the back garden." In addition to those safety measures, Chard explained there are also "fences, CCTV, and a security gate installed" at his property to keep him safe, with royal broadcaster Ian Pelham Turner also telling Fox News Digital that King Charles "partly funds his private security team." Turner told Fox News Digital it was lucky that "one of his paid-for private security team was with him" at the time of the incident, arguing that the security team "may have to be increased to strengthen his safety." KING CHARLES CUTS PRINCE ANDREW’S $1 MILLION ALLOWANCE, PRIVATE SECURITY: BOOK "Personally, every citizen in Britain should feel safe and protected, especially highly well-known figures, and so Andrew should be given more protection, otherwise more attempts could be made on his life, which would cause distress and disarray within the royal family," he said. British royal expert Hilary Fordwich, however, was not surprised something like this happened, and disagreed with the notion that providing him with more security is the best route to take. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER "This is totally to be expected because the public is absolutely disgusted regarding his despicable behavior," Fordwich said. "Instead of wanting more security, he should really stay in sort of a house arrest just keep to himself and not even go out. Then he wouldn’t have to face the public or have these worries. That would be the decent thing to do, but he’s not renowned for doing decent things." Chard conceded that "Andrew’s Epstein ties, arrest and police investigation have made him a target," but said that "many believe he is privately more than adequately protected." Andrew was arrested in February on charges of suspicion of misconduct in public office. His arrest came after King Charles stripped the former prince of all his royal titles and honors amid the ongoing scandals stemming from his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He initially stepped back as a senior royal in 2019 following his infamous interview with BBC’s "Newsnight," in which he attempted to explain his friendship with Epstein. LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?

Giuffre died by suicide in 2025.  "Reviewing Andrew's security is one thing, but talk of reinstating Met Police armed protection is already sparking public backlash, and understandably so," Chard said. "Realistically, his security status won’t change. That ship has sailed. And if it did, the public and Prince Harry would almost certainly have something to say about it. The security debate will come up from time to time. Andrew will continue to sleep with one eye open."

As traditional cooking fats, butter and beef tallow infuse flavor into dishes and can make meals more satisfying, but they are calorie-dense. The 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, developed by the Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Agriculture (USDA), include the two as healthy cooking options. OLIVE OIL SHOT CRAZE EXPLODES ONLINE, BUT DOCTOR WARNS IT'S 'MORE HYPE THAN MEDICINE' "When cooking with or adding fats to meals, prioritize oils with essential fatty acids, such as olive oil," the guidelines state. "Other options can include butter or beef tallow." But when the guidelines were released in January, the American Heart Association (AHA) issued a statement urging a cautious, evidence-based approach to using butter and tallow. "[W]e encourage consumers to prioritize plant-based proteins, seafood and lean meats and to limit high-fat animal products including red meat, butter, lard and tallow, which are linked to increased cardiovascular risk," the Dallas, Texas-based organization said. In response to questions from Fox News Digital, both the AHA and HHS emphasized their shared objectives over any differences. FOOD FIGHT ABOUT BUTTER? STUDY SAYS SUBBING IN PLANT-BASED OILS COULD REDUCE RISK OF DEATH The AHA "is aligned with the Dietary Guidelines on the major issues: eat real food, avoid highly processed food and limit refined grains and added sugar," Andrew Nixon, a spokesperson for HHS, told Fox News Digital.  "We look forward to working collaboratively with the AHA to evangelize these core principles and reverse the diet-related chronic disease epidemic." The AHA, on the other hand, said in a statement "that lasting progress happens when we come together." RESTAURANT CHAIN DITCHES SEED OILS 'LURKING' IN ITS INGREDIENTS "We are committed to working alongside government and all aligned partners across health care, academia, the private sector and communities nationwide to advance practical, evidence-based solutions that make healthy choices easier for everyone," the AHA spokesperson said. "Together, we will create a future in which longer, healthier lives are within reach for all." The AHA spokesperson also noted that the HHS guidelines are "consistent in many important ways" with its own, including avoiding ultraprocessed foods and eating whole foods. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE STORIES Though butter and beef tallow aren't small issues, California-based celebrity chef Andrew Gruel said the debate misses a bigger issue. He said it's really about how Americans actually cook. Gruel, who is part of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, told Fox News Digital the issue is that Americans already use too much fat when they cook — and that, by switching to traditional ingredients, they can actually reduce it. "I always encourage the saturated fats, in addition to avocado oil and olive oil," he said. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER "It's not always, for me, butter and beef tallow or pork fat. ... I use a lot of lard or even schmaltz, which is chicken fat." Using these fats, Gruel said, yields "a much cleaner, more pronounced flavor." "And as a result, you use less of it," he said. "Using less of a higher-quality fat in the long run is a net negative in regard to how much fat you're using. And that is the key." He offered a simple analogy: Would you rather spread butter on toast, or pour a cup of soybean oil over it? TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ That difference is even more noticeable in real-world kitchens, where oils are often left at high heat for hours, Gruel said. "If you have canola oil that's been sitting in a fryer all day … it's bitter, and you can taste that old grease on the food," he noted. Gruel said MAHA advocates and animal fat skeptics still have a common denominator: olive oil. "We know olive oil is good. So much of what we consume off the shelf has these low-quality industrial seed oils in it," Gruel said. "Even if you're taking something like a vinaigrette, making it at home isn't just healthier, it's also cheaper." He continued, "There are so many ways we can cut some of these fats out of our diet just by cooking one more meal a week at home or making a condiment fresh. That's really the key."

Lilly Téllez accused President Claudia Sheinbaum’s government of protecting what she called "narco-politicians" after New York prosecutors unsealed indictments accusing 10 current and former Mexican officials of working with the Sinaloa Cartel to protect fentanyl trafficking operations. Téllez claimed Sunday on "Fox & Friends Weekend" that Sheinbaum is refusing to hand over indicted officials to the U.S. because she fears it could lead to the discovery of more alleged corruption. "She's afraid that if she extradites… to the United States these narco-politicians, there will be — the Pandora's box will be open, and many other narco-politicians will fall," she said. "I mean, this government is not acting, is not responding to the rule of law, but to the rule of the mafia." US CHARGES MEXICAN GOVERNOR, TOP OFFICIALS IN CARTEL CONSPIRACY AS MEXICO FIRES BACK OVER PROOF The senator called Mexico a "mafiocracy," or a mafia state, and said the recently unsealed indictment out of the Southern District of New York was the "most important" accusation against a sitting Mexican government by the United States. U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Jay Clayton, and Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Terrance C. Cole, announced on April 29 the unsealing of an indictment charging Sinaloa Gov. Rubén Rocha Moya and nine others with drug trafficking and related weapons offenses. ALLEGED SINALOA CARTEL FENTANYL PRODUCER CHARGED IN NEWLY UNSEALED US FEDERAL INDICTMENT The current and former high-ranking government and law enforcement officials are alleged to have partnered with the Sinaloa Cartel to distribute massive quantities of narcotics to the United States. The case is assigned to U.S. District Judge Katherine Polk Failla. Téllez insisted Sheinbaum was "always lying to Mexican people," most recently by stoking fears of a U.S. invasion. She accused the Mexican government of "promoting a hate campaign against America" and appealed to Americans as neighbors and economic partners to pay attention to what is occurring south of the border. "The American people should know what is really happening. In Mexico, this is not the country you knew. This is a new regime," she said. "A regime in which authoritarian politicians, narco-politicians associated with cartels, financed by them, are ruling now."

And that's when things went sideways. The Patriots posted their shoutout to Mother's Day at precisely 10 a.m. ET and within a few minutes everyone understood that social media still recalls that head coach Mike Vrabel, who is married to his wife and mother of their two kids, allegedly had a questionable, unprofessional relationship with NFL reporter Dianna Russini, who is herself married and a mother of two. MIKE VRABEL BREAKS SILENCE ON DIANNA RUSSINI So what ensued was a reaction. It was filled with snark, disgust, vitriol and probably some truth. And it came in a public forum. This felt almost like the Patriots begging for folks to troll them. As one reply made the point, it was as if people were trampling all over each other to rush to the comments section of the post. People posted AI-generated photos of Vrabel and Russini together on boats, and holding babies that look like the head coach. They posted messages to the team's social media team, advising they perhaps should have skipped the post altogether. MIKE VRABEL STEPPING AWAY TO SEEK FAMILY COUNSELING Some even asked the NFL to intervene, as if the league would advise the club's social media administrator that, well, too soon. None of this should surprise. People slow down to see deadly crashes on the highway all the time. And they flock to people wrecking their lives on social media. (They also flock when an account with 4.4 million followers seems to step on a landmine). This is where some people will ask the obvious question: What are the Patriots supposed to do? Are they supposed to not post a Mother's Day salute, thus allowing the episode to make them different than practically every other team? There is no 100% correct answer to the question. Perhaps turning off the replies would have been the move, although that also would have drawn attention. Whatever the response from the Patriots, they should understand Sunday delivered a strong signal. We're seeing that reaction to the relationship between the coach and the reporter, to which neither has admitted was wrong, or out of bounds, or adulterous as many have speculated, isn't going to go away soon. It might not fade even into the NFL season's kickoff, barring a scandal-ending moment -- like Vrabel resigning or getting fired, or somebody telling the truth about what actually happened. So the Patriots as an organization have to realize this scarlet letter is sticking right now. And it's not just on their head coach, but rather it is pinned to the entire organization. The Patriots have to remember there are 31 other NFL fan bases, and those people didn't simply let go of past New England scandals such as Spygate or Deflategate. To this day those scandals come up despite being long-since scabbed over. This one wound, still fresh and perhaps still bleeding, will be a thing for a while. The Patriots got a reminder of that Sunday.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a019d88a200899a00e99585 Six different ways that prove the wealthy pay a lot more than their ‘fair share’ te 2026-05-11T09:12:40.369Z Six different ways that prove the wealthy pay a lot more than their ‘fair share’ If you listen to politicians like Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders and New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, there’s a constant drumbeat. The rich don’t pay their "fair share." and we don’t need any "oligarchs." These are powerful soundbites. They are also among the most intellectually lazy phrases in modern economics. Because here’s the real question no one answers: what exactly is "fair?" Let’s start with the facts which many people don’t like to discuss and not feelings. According to data from the Internal Revenue Service and the Tax Foundation, the top 1% of earners already pay roughly 40% or more of all federal income taxes. The top 10%? Closer to 70%. Meanwhile, nearly half of Americans pay little to no federal income tax each year. BILL MAHER CALLS OUT BERNIE SANDERS, SAYS HE'S TIRED OF HEARING THE RICH DON'T PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF TAXES So, when someone says the wealthy don’t pay enough, what they’re really saying is: It’s fair that lots of people pay zero and that they want the rich to pay even more than that share. But here’s where the conversation gets completely detached from reality, because federal income tax is just the starting line, not the finish line, when we talk about overall taxation. Let’s walk through what "rich" Americans actually pay in taxes. DOGE REVEALS WHAT YOU GET FOR THE HALF MILLION YOU'LL PAY IN TAXES OVER YOUR LIFETIME This is the headline number everyone debates. Top earners face marginal rates up to 37%, before you even layer in surtaxes. Live in high-tax states like California or New York, and you can add another 10%–14% on top of that federal number. Suddenly, you’re pushing toward a combined rate that rivals some European countries.  Congratulations, you’re writing a check every year just to keep it. In states like New Jersey or Texas, property taxes can easily hit $10,000 to $30,000+ annually for higher-value homes. We are talking 1% to 2% of your home value beyond some states that have personal property taxes. STEVE FORBES: DON'T CRUSH HOMEOWNERS TO PAY FOR NYC'S OUT-OF-CONTROL BUDGET Every time you spend, you’re taxed again. In places like Tennessee or Washington, combined sales taxes approach 10%. That’s post-income-tax money being taxed all over again. This sparks the great debate of a fair tax or having a VAT tax or what some will call a consumption tax. Invest wisely? You’ll pay for that as well. Federal capital gains rates, plus the Net Investment Income Tax, can push you over 23.8%, before state taxes take another bite. This is after you tax after-tax money, invest it well, and then pay tax again. This also affects business owners who build their business for years and pay tax on distributable income all along the way only to potentially be taxed at the highest marginal tax rate when they sell the business that created jobs for people for decades. Build wealth over a lifetime? The government may take another bite out of the apple when you pass it on to your heirs. While this doesn’t affect as many people, it can be significant for wealthy families. JONATHAN TURLEY: SANDERS' WEALTH TAX DANGLES CHECKS WHILE TORCHING THE CONSTITUTION Now let’s pause and ask the captain obvious question: At what point is it enough? Is "fair" when the top 1% pays 50% of all taxes? 60%? 80%? Does any politician who makes these outlandish statements have a real number? No. The reason? You can’t get blood from a stone from people who don’t pay at all right now. We’re already operating in a system where such a small percentage of Americans fund the majority of government spending. WASHINGTON POST ARGUES THERE'S 'LITTLE TO GAIN BY RAISING TAXES ON THE RICH,' RATES ALREADY HIGH ENOUGH Here’s what makes this debate even more frustrating, and that is, "fair share" is never defined. It’s a moving target. The more you pay, the more you’re told you should pay. That’s not tax policy, that’s the modern politics of today. And let’s be clear that this isn’t about defending billionaires. It’s about defending math, incentives, and, most importantly, capitalism. AMERICA'S $39 TRILLION DEBT BOMB COULD BE MORE PAINFUL THAN YOU THINK When you continually raise the burden on the most productive individuals and business owners, you don’t just "tax the rich." You change the behavior of the very people who create the system. They create the jobs. They create the innovation. They create the future of America. You discourage investment. You slow hiring. You reduce risk-taking, which are the very things that drive our GDP. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION America clearly needs more revenue as the time ticks toward $40 trillion of debt. It also has a significant spending problem. Before we demand more from taxpayers, maybe we should demand more accountability from Washington. Until someone can clearly define what "fair share" actually means in real dollars, real percentages, and real outcomes, it remains exactly what it is today. A soundbite and a slogan. And those two things don’t balance our budget.

We need to dismantle the hacker network te 2026-05-11T09:12:20.898Z Iran’s cyberwar targets ordinary Americans. We need to dismantle the hacker network In the first hours after American and Israeli airstrikes hit Iran on Feb. 28, while most of the world was watching missile tracks across the Middle East, something quieter was happening on the blockchain. Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) operatives moved tens of millions out of their crypto wallets in the first hours, scaling to hundreds of millions in the days that followed. RAKIA, a cyber intelligence firm that develops data analysis platforms used by governments and security agencies, had its analysts track the surge in real time, and Fox News Digital detailed the findings as they unfolded. The funds eventually landed in wallets used by the Houthis, Hezbollah and personal safe havens for regime insiders. It was a tell. The same regime that spent years building a $3 billion crypto operation to fund its proxies was, in the opening hours of a war, using that infrastructure to evacuate its war chest. The two months since have brought the second act: the IRGC turning that infrastructure outward, against Americans and our allies. Iran’s hackers are not sophisticated. Every major Iranian operation against Americans this year has run on the same cheap fuel: stolen passwords, harvested by commodity malware, basic widely available hacking software, sold for a few dollars on dark web marketplaces America already has the tools to dismantle. IRAN MOVES HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS IN CRYPTO DURING NATIONWIDE INTERNET BLACKOUT, REPORT REVEALS President Donald Trump’s strikes on Feb. 28 proved this regime responds to pressure. Extending that posture into cyberspace, going after the credential supply chain the way America already goes after ransomware infrastructure, is how to shut the door on these breaches before they get any closer to home. At the end of March, Iran-linked hackers reportedly breached FBI Director Kash Patel’s personal email and posted years-old photos and documents online. The pro-Iranian group Handala, which the Justice Department has formally linked to Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security, announced that the head of America’s premier law enforcement agency was now "among the list of successfully hacked victims." Patel was not the only target. On March 11, the same group crippled Stryker, one of America's largest medical device makers, wiping more than 200,000 devices across 79 countries and disrupting care for the 150 million patients it serves a year. IRAN-LINKED HACKERS TARGET US MEDICAL TECH COMPANY On March 18, Iranian hackers defaced the website of Yeshiva World News, one of the most-read Orthodox Jewish news sites in America, replacing its homepage with images of the Iranian supreme leader. The Justice Department has documented Handala using its infrastructure to send death threats to Jewish journalists and Iranian dissidents living in America, and to solicit Mexican cartel "partners" to carry out violence on its behalf. None of these attacks required sophisticated malware. They required one thing: a stolen password. The Stryker wipeout traces back to a single administrator credential almost certainly harvested by everyday commodity malware called an infostealer and sold for a few dollars on a Russian-language forum. The Patel breach, the Yeshiva World News defacement, the broader pattern, all of it runs on the same supply chain. That supply chain is not in Tehran. It is in dark web marketplaces operating largely in plain sight, where infostealer operators sell millions of stolen American credentials a month to anyone with a wallet address. Iranian intelligence is one buyer in those markets. It is also a vendor, running campaigns from Iranian IP addresses against Western users to feed the same markets. Same operators. Same infrastructure. Different targets. AMERICA COULD BE HIT WITH 'HIGH-IMPACT' CYBERATTACK TARGETING ENERGY GRID, FMR WH TECH CHIEF SAYS The escalation has not stayed in America’s lane. On May 4, the same Handala group that breached Patel and Stryker claimed it had penetrated the strategic Emirati port of Fujairah, stealing 430,000 documents including maps of the port's oil pipelines, and handing those maps to IRGC missile units, which then struck the port minutes later. The strike itself was confirmed by Bloomberg and Reuters. The cyber-enabled-targeting claim is unverified, but the operational model Handala is advertising, cyber reconnaissance feeding kinetic targeting, is precisely the integrated doctrine RAKIA analysts have observed across this campaign. Either it happened, or Iran wants its adversaries to believe it can. Both are strategic threats. The UAE is one node in a wider pattern. Their top cybersecurity official disclosed the country is now absorbing between 500,000 and 700,000 cyberattack attempts per day, with a clear jump after Feb. 28. The supply chain that feeds American breaches feeds these operations too. IRAN’S NUCLEAR GAMBLE LEAVES AMERICA ONE CHOICE — AND IT CAN'T BE A DEAL The administration has every existing tool in play. Treasury sanctions wallets. The FBI seizes Handala’s websites and indicts the operators. The State Department offers $10 million rewards. Each addresses the symptom, not the source. None touches the credential supply chain that makes every one of these attacks possible. The next move is going upstream. This is no longer a foreign policy problem. It is a supply chain problem, and it has a supply chain solution. Infostealer marketplaces should be treated the way America treats ransomware infrastructure: as legitimate military and intelligence targets. The Pentagon’s Cyber Command has the authority and capability to take dark web credential markets offline, and has used those authorities against ransomware operators with real effect. There is no defensible reason to treat the marketplace selling Iran the keys to American hospitals as a lower priority than the one selling Russia the keys to American pipelines. 1.7 BILLION PASSWORDS LEAKED ON DARK WEB AND WHY YOURS IS AT RISK The federal government can also mandate real-time stealer log monitoring for every federal agency, defense contractor and operator of critical infrastructure. When the Stryker administrator’s credentials surfaced on a dark web market, somebody should have known within minutes. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION And any future deal with Iran must put crypto sanctions compliance on equal footing with the nuclear file. An agreement that ignores the financial pipelines funding Hezbollah, the Houthis and IRGC operations is an agreement that funds the next war. Some will say going on offense against credential markets is too aggressive. The status quo is more aggressive, against Americans, against allies and against anyone in range of an IRGC missile guided by stolen data. Stryker patients felt it. Patel felt it. Yeshiva World News readers felt it. The UAE is feeling it now. Defense alone has failed. The credentials are mapped. The marketplaces are visible. The operators leave fingerprints. The window to act is open. It will not stay open forever. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a019d61a200899a00e99573 Federal regulations are about to wreck the industry that gave me everything te 2026-05-11T09:12:01.302Z Federal regulations are about to wreck the industry that gave me everything In 1980, I was a Navy veteran sleeping in a 20-year-old car, scraping together $700 to start a hair care company with a stylist named Paul Mitchell. We believed the American Dream was still open for business. Forty-six years later, that same dream is what a federal rule is about to close down for the next generation. The Department of Education has proposed an earnings premium metric under the gainful employment rule that will judge career programs by one rigid number: whether vocational graduates, four years after completion, earn more than the typical full-time worker aged 25–34 in the same state without a college degree. Programs that fail the test in two out of three years lose access to federal student aid. According to the Department’s own data, more than 92% of beauty and barber programs nationwide would fail. This is not a minor regulatory tweak. It is a death sentence for thousands of cosmetology, barber, esthetician and nail schools across America. Without Title IV aid, most students — many of them single mothers, veterans, first-generation Americans and working-class kids — simply cannot afford the training and education required for state licensure. Schools will close. The pipeline of new licensed professionals will collapse. And at the exact moment we are being told skilled trades and human-centered careers are the future in an AI-driven economy, we are threatening to defund an industry built on human connection, creativity and hands-on expertise. The beauty industry is a $100 billion economic engine that employs 1.3 million Americans. It is one of the few sectors where someone can earn a marketable credential in under a year, walk into a shop or salon and build a business. Our professionals are overwhelmingly women who rely on flexible, part-time schedules to raise families while generating income. Many earn the majority of their money through tips and clientele-building — income that grows substantially after the first few years but is invisible in the Department’s early-career snapshot. THE AI REVOLUTION THREATENS OFFICE JOBS, BUT REVIVES DEMAND FOR SKILLED TRADES By ignoring these realities — part-time work, tips, self-employment and the female-dominated nature of the field — the rule systematically understates the true value of beauty education. It compares new licensees to full-time workers with only a high-school diploma, many of whom have already been in the workforce for a decade. The result is a false narrative that beauty programs don’t deliver, when in reality, they deliver exactly what millions of Americans need: flexible, entrepreneurial, in-person careers that cannot be automated. The economic fallout will be swift and widespread. School closures mean fewer licensed professionals entering the workforce at a time when demand is growing. Salons, spas and barbershops will face chronic staffing shortages. Rural communities and small towns — already struggling with service gaps — will see "beauty deserts" where basic grooming and wellness services disappear. Consumers will lose access to safe, licensed care. Small business owners who rely on barbers and stylists will watch revenues fall. The ripple effects will hit product manufacturers, distributors, real estate and local tax bases. This is not just about beauty and barber schools. It is about stripping opportunity from the very people the American economy claims to champion. The single mother who sees beauty as her path to independence. The veteran looking for a stable second career. The young entrepreneur who dreams of owning her own salon. These are the people who built this $100 billion industry — and the people who will lose the most if it is starved of new talent and fair access to education. THE ‘ONE BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL’ URGENTLY NEEDS A MAKEOVER TO USHER IN TRUMP’S GOLDEN AGE Congress understood this when it passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The law deliberately limits this earnings framework to undergraduate degree programs and graduate certificates. Undergraduate certificate programs like cosmetology and barbering were intentionally left out. The department should follow the law, not rewrite it. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION Secretary Linda McMahon has the power — and the lived experience — to fix this. She knows what it means to build a business from the ground up. She should direct the department to exclude undergraduate non-degree and certificate programs in licensed trades from the earnings premium test, consistent with statutory intent. This single change would protect opportunity, preserve workforce pipelines and safeguard a vital sector of our economy. The comment period closes May 20. Now is the time for all of us who love this industry — school owners, professionals, salon owners, manufacturers and the millions of Americans we serve — to speak up and protect it for the next generation. Beauty and barbering are not fallback careers. They are pathways to independence, entrepreneurship, creativity and human connection. They change lives every single day behind the chair. We built this industry with our hands. We will fight for its future. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a019d39a200899a00e99568 They Were Promised New Septic Tanks.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a019176a200899a00e993ca Report: Arizona Labor Market Continues To Decline te 2026-05-11T08:21:10.290Z Report: Arizona Labor Market Continues To Decline By Staff Reporter | The labor market is on a continued decline in Arizona, per the latest federal data reporting for March. Arizona’s reported numbers marked one of the worst months of decline in the labor market nationwide, according to an analysis published this week by the Common Sense Institute (CSI) in its review of Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data for March.  CSI stated in a press release that the BLS data indicated Arizona’s labor market had exhibited an increased divergence from national trends this year: slowing employment growth, rising unemployment, and weaker wage growth. Overall, CSI said these behaviors indicated the state would be enduring a tougher economic environment.  Arizona recorded its first monthly job loss of this year, losing around 2,600 nonfarm jobs. This caused the state to be placed 12th in terms of worst employment performance nationwide. The state also lost 300 manufacturing jobs, bringing the year-over-year total to 1,300 jobs lost, and 1,600 trade, transportation, and utilities jobs, bringing the year-over-year total to 6,200 jobs lost. Arizona and 15 other states experienced month-over-month job losses. March marked the seventh consecutive month of year-over-year job losses for Arizona.  “[T]he confluence of a falling labor force participation rate and rising unemployment rate further point to a souring labor market in the state – a trend we highlighted in the previous Jobs and Labor Force Update,” stated the CSI report.  The nation gained 178,000 jobs in March, overcoming the loss of 133,000 jobs in February.  Arizona had a middling ranking year-over-year for job growth nationally (36th) and a lower ranking year-over-year for hourly wage increases (44th). The jobs ranking improved slightly from earlier this year (43rd).  Arizona has been losing jobs year-over-year since last August, warned CSI, while the growth of jobs has slowed steadily since 2022.  In the latter dataset, Arizona hourly wages increased nearly two percent year-over-year. Real wages rose up by more than half a percent year-over-year, compared to the national average of 1.3 percent.  The state’s employment rate rose to 4.7 percent.  The trend in Arizona aligns with the overall decline experienced across the nation. Job openings fell in March, though a recent hiring surge surpassing several years of pacing indicates this decline may stabilize or even turn around.  Acting BLS Commissioner William Wiatrowski, a longtime component of the agency, has defended the labor market reports amid months of criticisms from President Donald Trump. It was the president’s dissatisfaction with BLS reports, in part, that prompted the removal of Wiatrowski’s predecessor last summer.  Earlier this year, Wiatrowski denied accusations that poorer reports were manipulated or influenced to benefit Democrats.  “I can tell you there is no outside interference in the data,” said Wiatrowski. “If anyone was cooking the books, I would be one of the first persons shouting.” Trump has nominated another longtime BLS economist and twice member of the president’s Council of Economic Advisors, Brett Matsumoto, to take over as the permanent commissioner.  “For many years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, under WEAK and STUPID people, has been FAILING American Businesses, Policymakers, and Families by releasing VERY inaccurate numbers,” said Trump in a Truth Social post in January. “I am confident that Brett has the expertise to QUICKLY fix the long history of issues at the BLS on behalf of the American People. Brett Matsumoto is a Brilliant, Reputable, and Trusted Economist who will restore GREATNESS to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.” AZ Free News is your #1 source for Arizona news and politics.

By Matthew Holloway | Grand Canyon University’s student ensemble choir Critical Mass will perform later this month at a national celebration in Washington, D.C. tied to America’s upcoming 250th anniversary. The choir was invited by the White House to participate in “Rededicate 250: A National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving,” scheduled for May 17 on the National Mall. The event is part of the broader America250 initiative commemorating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. According to Grand Canyon University News, 14 members of Critical Mass remained on campus after the conclusion of the spring semester to continue rehearsals before departing for Washington on May 15. “This is probably the biggest stage for Critical Mass,” Grand Canyon University Chair of Music Dr. Juan de Dios Hernandez told GCU News. “This event reflects who we are, a jubilee for prayer and praise.” The May 17 event coincides with the 250th anniversary of the Continental Congress’ 1776 proclamation calling for a national day of fasting and prayer. Organizers described the gathering as an event intended to “reaffirm the country’s biblical foundation through moving messages, personal testimonies and worship music.” “This really centers around what we do,” he added. “We do a lot of things, but the primary thing we do is share the Christian faith in whatever context we are.” Critical Mass serves as one of the university’s primary musical ambassadors and performs more than 100 times during the academic year, according to the university. The ensemble recently performed during 13 commencement ceremonies held at Global Credit Union Arena. University President Brian Mueller publicly recognized the group’s invitation during a recent commencement ceremony. The Washington event is expected to feature addresses from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, and Bishop Robert Barron of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester in Minnesota, according to GCU News. Other scheduled performers include Christian artist Chris Tomlin, singer Laura Osnes, Liberty University Praise, the Hillsdale College Choir, and the United States Navy Band. The appearance marks another public role for GCU in events surrounding the nation’s upcoming semiquincentennial observances. Earlier this year, the university hosted the Arizona America250 Commission’s traveling museum exhibit commemorating the anniversary. Matthew Holloway is a senior reporter for AZ Free News.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) responded that was the furthest thing from the truth.  Although their son had been living and already returned to Mexico, his parents decided to reenter the country illegally.  DHS says the parents, Isidor Gonzales Aviles and Normal Anabel (also identified as Norma Anabel Ramirez Amaya), were not in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody and that their family misrepresented critical facts in their case to the media. Per DHS, Aviles and Anabel had been deported years prior to this event and were illegal aliens. Neither individual had standing to enter the country regardless of the reason.  Aviles entered the country illegally in 2000; from that point to his removal in 2011, Aviles was arrested and charged multiple times with sexual abuse, retail theft, battery, trespassing, and disorderly conduct.  Anabel entered the country illegally in 2005. She was also deported back to Mexico in 2011. However, Anabel entered the country illegally again in 2024, where she was apprehended by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and redeported within several days. Their son Kevin Gonzalez — who is 18 and is identified as a U.S. citizen — was born during that time period while his parents were hiding out in the country illegally in Chicago, Illinois. That would mean Gonzalez was born to illegal immigrant parents, what some call an “anchor baby” in the heated debate over birthplace citizenship that has made its way to the Supreme Court.  Although Gonzalez was born in Chicago, he lived in Mexico with his parents leading up to December 2025. That’s around when Gonzalez received his cancer diagnosis and left his parents to seek out medical treatment in the U.S. Gonzalez was diagnosed with metastatic Stage 4 colon cancer in January and was initially under the care of his brother, Jovany Ramirez, in Chicago. Aviles and Anabel reported petitioning for humanitarian parole into the country to be with Gonzalez, but their petitions were denied.  During this time, Gonzalez traveled back to Mexico to be with his family. He entered the care of his grandmother, Virginia Amaya. DHS later responded to media reports on the claim of humanitarian parole; according to DHS, Aviles and Anabel applied for B1/B2 visas, which were denied, not humanitarian parole. Although Gonzalez returned to Mexico, Aviles and Anabel then reentered the country illegally in April and were detained by CBP in Douglas, not ICE. The parents were taken to the Florence Correctional Center for processing.  On Thursday, a federal immigration judge authorized the expedited release of Aviles and Anabel. Congressional Democrats who qualify illegal aliens as constitutents and have prioritized fighting against immigration enforcement efforts came to the family’s defense. Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ-07) called the story “heartbreaking.” “I’m asking ICE to accommodate this request so Kevin can see his parents one last time,” said Grijalva. “This isn’t about politics — it’s about human decency.”  This is absolutely heartbreaking. I'm asking ICE to accommodate this request so Kevin can see his parents one last time. This isn't about politics – it's about basic human decency.https://t.co/McCZKDUyUn — Rep.

When I arrived, the FBI was running on archaic patchwork systems without AI, effectively putting a 2025 car battery into a vehicle from 1985. Our infrastructure was a Commodore 64 when it needed to be a supercomputer. No more Band-Aids on gunshot wounds. Wholesale change was necessary. In the past year, I’m incredibly proud of the progress we’ve made under President Trump’s leadership. We have rebuilt and revamped the FBI’s infrastructure across the enterprise, helping the bureau achieve record-breaking results in crushing violent crime and defending the homeland, while providing historic transparency. Artificial intelligence is a huge part of that overhaul. When then-Deputy Director Dan Bongino and I arrived here at headquarters, AI had almost zero role at the FBI. That had to change, so we got to work. We immediately led the way by setting up an AI working group to evaluate how we could accelerate modernization, getting input from field leaders on the ground in your communities. We appointed a chief AI officer and established an AI Review Board to streamline our efforts. We created an AI Champions Program to identify advocates across the bureau. Maybe most importantly, we created direct partnerships with private-sector industry leaders to rebuild our infrastructure and bring in AI on a broad scale. FBI DIRECTOR KASH PATEL SAYS BUREAU RAMPING UP AI TO COUNTER DOMESTIC, GLOBAL THREATS AI is central to what we do. It is helping us identify victims of child exploitation, arrest and convict predators, and more. Last year alone, this FBI identified and located 6,300 missing kids, a 30% increase, and arrested 2,000 abusers, a 20% increase — largely thanks to these improvements. In a recent FBI Richmond case, the FBI’s Child Exploitation Operational Unit used facial recognition tools to save 8- and 12-year-old children from a would-be abuser, who will now spend 50 years in prison. This FBI now uses new AI tools to generate call transcriptions, provide concise synopses and even help correlate contacts with other received complaints. When someone calls into NTOC — the National Threat Operations Center, our 911 center — AI tools generate a transcript of the call, draft an effective summary of the threat and immediately scan our database for comparisons to other open threat lines. Every tip also receives a lead value to surface the highest threat-related calls for Threat Intake Examiners. This specific threat intake process helped the FBI quickly act and stop an attacker plotting a mass shooting at a North Carolina preschool. Fingerprint matching is one of the most common methods the FBI uses to identify individuals. Some adversaries try to manipulate their prints to obscure their identities by burning, cutting or biting their fingertips to remove ridge detail and make it difficult or impossible to make a match. Because fingerprint matching is an automated process, altered fingerprints were being missed. CJIS — the Criminal Justice Information Services Division, our data hub — integrated an AI-enabled, real-time altered fingerprint detection capability. In 2025, this new solution detected 34 altered fingerprint identities, ultimately leading to the positive identification and arrest of wanted persons, drug traffickers and fraudsters. We’re also using AI to facilitate rapid translations of large volumes of text, audio and video, and to triage terabytes of data. In the aftermath of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks on Israel, the FBI had more than 75 terabytes of data to review, with more information coming in every day, including more than 75 search warrant returns. For perspective, a single search warrant return can contain 180,000 messages. It would take six or seven analysts working seven days a week for four or five weeks to review a single search warrant return. The FBI routinely has thousands of audio files and texts to review over the course of a single case. Our current models translate with roughly 80% accuracy, so our linguists can home in on the 20% that requires a human touch.  CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION We are not replacing humans; we’re supplementing them, sharpening their focus and expediting the pace of our investigations. Collecting data to sit in storage is like keeping Babe Ruth on the bench permanently. We’re identifying and arresting more fraudsters, scammers and drug traffickers who try to hide their identities, thanks to AI. Through cooperative research and development agreements with the private sector, the FBI is advancing our deepfake detection systems in support of these investigations. Equally important, AI is helping this FBI be more accountable to the taxpayer by applying it to business operations across the bureau and getting maximum value out of your money. With the help of our Enterprise AI assistant, this FBI cut $300 million in spending and identified more than $1.2 billion in contract ceiling savings. These are just a few of the ways artificial intelligence has allowed this FBI to meet the mission. Under the Trump administration’s leadership, this FBI is now a faster, more efficient and more accountable crime-fighting machine thanks to the implementation of modern technology. This FBI has desperately needed these transformational changes, but prior leadership refused to spend the time and resources, kneecapping our abilities. That changed immediately under my leadership and will continue. The new FBI — the greatest law enforcement agency on Earth — is now providing our team the tools they need to execute the dangerous mission we ask them to perform every day: safeguarding America. And thanks to the brave personnel using those tools, America is safer than we’ve been in decades.

Robert Shane Zimmerman, 40, was arrested after allegedly starting a fire at a home in Lewistown around 11:55 p.m. on Wednesday, the Lewistown Police Department wrote on Facebook.  When officers arrived at the scene, several residents said the fire was intentionally set and that people were trapped inside the home, which was rented out to several subletters. A man suffered significant facial injuries after jumping from the second floor of the home and was flown to a burn trauma center with internal burns to his throat. He informed authorities that his girlfriend was still inside. TEXAS WOMAN CHARGED FOR APARTMENT FIRE AFTER ALLEGEDLY BURNING BOYFRIEND’S CLOTHES IN BBQ PIT A woman also sustained serious injuries after passing out from smoke inhalation and falling onto a concrete sidewalk below, according to police. She was also transported to a trauma center for treatment. Another victim, identified as Brandy Phillippe, 44, was found dead inside the home after authorities said she appeared to have attempted to escape but became trapped in the residence, according to the Mifflin County Coroner’s Office. Multiple witnesses reported Zimmerman was at the home to profess his love for a woman living in the attic, police said. The fire was later confirmed to be arson by the Pennsylvania State Police Fire Marshal. "It was reported that Zimmerman became upset when he was rejected by the female and he began setting several items on fire on the first floor of the residence," police said, adding that the woman was later taken into custody for a prothonotary warrant issued in February. During the investigation, witnesses reported hearing Zimmerman admit to starting the fire. They also said they saw him standing in a nearby alley watching the residence burn. Surveillance images appeared to corroborate the witnesses’ statements, police said. Zimmerman was later taken into custody at his home on an outstanding warrant, as well as for questioning related to the house fire, with police saying he smelled like ash and smoke. ILLINOIS TEEN STABS PREGNANT WOMAN 70 TIMES, KNIFES DOG, SETS HOME ABLAZE DURING FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE MEETUP After being taken into custody, Zimmerman said he had just ingested fentanyl and displayed signs of an opioid overdose. He was transported to a hospital for evaluation. Several hours later, medical staff cleared him, and he was transported to the police department for questioning in connection with the fire. During questioning, Zimmerman made "several incriminating statements," police said. Zimmerman claimed he could not recall any details from the exact time the fire began, but he was able to make several statements about events immediately before and after the fire started, according to police. When he was informed someone in the residence had died as a result of the fire, police said Zimmerman had a "strong emotional response." Zimmerman is being held at the Mifflin County Correctional Facility on multiple charges, including arson, police told the Lewistown Sentinel. Fox News Digital has reached out to police for additional information. It was not immediately clear whether Zimmerman had legal representation. Phillippe's death is being investigated as a homicide, according to the coroner’s office. According to her obituary, Phillippe was a "woman of many talents" who had a background in culinary arts and attended flight attendant school. "She was a proud Army veteran who specialized in Patriot missiles during her service. Later in life, she achieved her CDL and worked as a professional truck driver," the obituary reads. "She had a passion for cats and loved many over the years," it continued.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a0180dfa200899a00e9913d From ABC license reviews to Comey indictments, Trump's regulatory war on critics enters new phase te 2026-05-11T07:10:23.617Z From ABC license reviews to Comey indictments, Trump's regulatory war on critics enters new phase The Trump administration is using the immense muscle of federal power to punish media outlets whose coverage is disparaged as overly negative. The president has long used harsh rhetorical attacks against such companies as CNN and The New York Times, as well as individual journalists, and filed a flurry of lawsuits against them. He’s even accused the press of "seditious" conduct. I suppose we’ve grown accustomed to that. But there is a whole new level of escalation that goes beyond intimidation. Trump and his allies are pushing the regulatory levers to force networks to spend enormous time and money to preserve their franchise. And the biggest target right now is ABC. TUNING OUT: WHY MANY AMERICANS ARE SICK OF THE NEWS – ESPECIALLY TRUMP NEWS FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, who along with Trump has demanded Jimmy Kimmel’s firing, has launched a review of the local station licenses connected to the Disney-owned company. This legal war will drag on for years and is unlikely to succeed; only one license has ever been pulled, and that was a half-century ago. Think about it. Why should an ABC-owned station in New York, Chicago or Los Angeles have its license jeopardized because a federal agency dislikes the network’s content? ABC has produced 11,000 documents in the inquiry so far, which gives you an idea of the scope of the showdown. FCC LAUNCHING PROBE INTO ABC'S 'THE VIEW' AMID CRACKDOWN ON EQUAL TIME FOR CANDIDATES "The commission’s actions threaten to upend decades of settled law and practice and chill critical protected speech, both with respect to ‘The View’ and more broadly," ABC said in a legal filing. Yes, "The View," the all-female talk show founded by Barbara Walters in 1997 and syndicated by ABC. That’s now a bullseye within the larger target. The show has generally featured one conservative to balance the aggressively liberal Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar. But these days the conservative panelists are also strongly anti-Trump. REPUBLICANS VIRTUALLY SHUT OUT OF DEM-DOMINATED TALK SHOWS AS FCC AIMS TO REFORM NETWORK BIAS The initial filing was based on an ABC station in Houston, KTRK, stemming from a minor dispute with "The View." And as the New York Times points out, the station’s paperwork was signed by former solicitor general Paul Clement. At issue is whether the program, which is part of ABC’s news division, should be exempt from equal-time rules. ABC says it has invited JD Vance, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Lindsey Graham, Josh Hawley, Elon Musk, Kevin McCarthy and Marco Rubio, according to the Hollywood Reporter, but all have refused. TEXAS-BASED ABC AFFILIATES FILE EQUAL TIME NOTICES AS FCC CRACKS DOWN ON ‘THE VIEW’ OVER TALARICO SEGMENT "The View" was given an exemption as a news show back in 2002. Disney also notes that the FCC hasn’t gone after conservatives – or liberals – on talk radio.  We’ve seen these tactics in other realms. The Trump Justice Department last fall brought an indictment against James Comey, which was rejected by a judge. After Trump fired Pam Bondi for not getting results, the department last month brought a second, much narrower indictment against the former FBI chief despised by Trump, based solely on the posting of seashell art that said 86*47. And Comey has to hire lawyers again. TRUMP, DEMOCRATS LOCKED IN ENDLESS CYCLES OF PAYBACK AFTER COMEY INDICTMENT AND TARGETING PRESIDENT'S ENEMIES It so happens that the media, even most conservative legal commentators, are calling the case absurd. Says National Review’s Andy McCarthy, a former federal prosecutor:  "Sure, Comey plainly did not intend to threaten bodily harm. More fundamentally, though, even if Comey’s state of mind had been sinister, he’d still be innocent because the seashell array was not an actionable threat… LINE IN THE SAND: WHY TRUMP IS DRAWING FLAK FOR THE JAMES COMEY INDICTMENT OVER SEASHELLS "The case must be thrown out pretrial because ‘86 47’ is not a true threat."  Look, the administration has done what it can to crack down on the press, such as booting Pentagon reporters out of the building after they refused to submit to advance censorship. And Trump has previously collected at least $16 million apiece from earlier lawsuits against CBS and ABC. What’s more, Trump’s friend, Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison and his son David, who bought CBS without government interference, may soon control CNN as well. The expectation is that they would shift the world’s first 24-hour network, whose founder Ted Turner died last week, in a more Trump-friendly direction. Singling out a network or program for retaliation is itself a form of sheer partisanship. And using the unchecked levers of government against disliked journalists and programs, down to the Whoopi Goldberg level, is deeply troubling.

The remains of 1st Lt. Kendrick Lamont Key Jr., 27, of Richmond, Virginia, were recovered Saturday, U.S. Army Europe and Africa announced Sunday. Key, a 14A Air Defense Artillery officer, was one of two U.S. soldiers who reportedly fell from a cliff during an off-duty recreational hike near the Cap Draa Training Area on May 2. A Moroccan military search team found Key in the water along the shoreline at about 8:55 a.m. local time Saturday, roughly one mile from where both soldiers reportedly entered the ocean, the Army said. "Today, we mourn the loss of 1st Lt. Kendrick Key, whose remains were recovered in Morocco," Brig. Gen Curtis King, commanding general of the 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command, said in a statement. "Our hearts are with his Family, friends, teammates, and all who knew and served alongside him. The 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command Family is grieving, and we will continue to support one another and 1st Lt. Key’s Family as we honor his life and service." LONG-LOST SOLDIER'S GRAVE DISCOVERED AT REMOTE US NATIONAL PARK AFTER 150 YEARS Key and the second soldier were reported missing on May 2 after participating in African Lion, an annual multinational military exercise hosted across Morocco, Tunisia, Ghana and Senegal. The two were reported missing around 9 p.m. near the Cap Draa Training Area outside Tan-Tan, a terrain featuring mountains, desert and semi-desert plains, the Moroccan military said. The disappearance of the two soldiers led to a search-and-rescue mission involving more than 600 personnel from the U.S., Morocco and other military partners. Ships, helicopters and drones were deployed as part of this operation. Search efforts will continue for the second missing soldier. PENTAGON HONORS AMERICAN TROOPS KILLED IN OPERATION EPIC FURY: 'NEVER BE FORGOTTEN' A U.S. contingent remained in Morocco after the military exercises ended on Friday to provide command and control and to support the ongoing search and rescue mission. Key was assigned to Charlie Battery, 5th Battalion, 4th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command, according to the Army. His decorations include the Army Achievement Medal and Army Service Ribbon. He entered military service in 2023 as an officer candidate and earned his commission through Officer Candidate School the following year as an Air Defense Artillery officer. He later completed the Basic Officer Leader Course at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Key is survived by his parents, his sister and his brother-in-law. African Lion 26 is a U.S.-led exercise that began in April across Morocco, Tunisia, Ghana and Senegal, with more than 5,600 civilian and military personnel from more than 40 nations. For more than 20 years, it has been the largest U.S. joint military exercise in Africa. In 2012, two U.S. Marines were killed, and two others injured during an MV-22 Osprey crash near Cap Draa while participating in Exercise African Lion. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Heading into the lottery, the Pacers, who went 19-63 just one season after reaching the NBA Finals out of the Eastern Conference, had a 52.1% chance of having a top-four pick. However, when they didn’t see their team chosen in the first four picks – Indiana also had a 14% chance of getting the No. 1 overall pick – it was time to panic. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM The reason? The Pacers included their first-round pick in a trade with the Los Angeles Clippers for Ivica Zubac, but they only made it a top-four protected pick. That means, if the Pacers were chosen in the lottery as a top-four selection, they would be able to keep it. But the Pacers were chosen as the No. 5 pick, and the Clippers now own the selection in next month’s draft. NBA LOTTERY CHAOS: WASHINGTON WIZARDS STRIKE GOLD, PACERS PAY FOR TANKING GAMBLE NIGHTMARE As a result, Pacers team president of basketball operations Kevin Pritchard took full responsibility for the move, apologizing on social media. "I’m really sorry to all our fans," he wrote on X. "I own taking this risk. Surprised it came up 5th after this year. I thought we were due some luck. But please remember – this team deserved a starting center to compete with the best teams next year. We have always been resilient." The Pacers were viewed as a team that were actively tanking despite the NBA’s attempt to crack down on such a season, with the lottery being one way of that. And it clearly worked this time around. Pritchard was trying to be transparent and honest with the Pacers fan base, but people were quick to jump in the comments to make their thoughts, and gripes, known. "You lose Myles Turner and add Zubac," one X user began. "You lose [Benedict] Mathurin and the number 5 pick with absolutely nothing in return. This is why fans are upset, for a center who not even a top 5 center in the NBA. Who trades their future away for Ivan [sic] Zubac???" Another X user called this a "generational draft," and couldn’t fathom the Pacers won’t be picking from a deep class. "If I were a Pacers fan and my team traded away a top 5 pick for Ivica Zubac in the middle of a tanking season I would be beyond devastated," a fellow X user wrote. The Pacers were without their All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton all season long after he suffered an Achilles injury during the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder. But Indiana still has key members of that team returning next season, including Pascal Siakam, Andrew Nembhard, and Aaron Nesmith. However, this 2026 draft class is quite the spectacle, with many believing it to be deep considering the talent of BYU’s AJ Dybantsa, Kansas’ Darryn Peterson, UNC’s Caleb Wilson, and Duke’s Cam Boozer, among others.

"Israel has gone to unbelievable lengths to get innocent civilians out of harm's way," Netanyahu said. "We text message millions of text messages to them—make millions of phone calls to them, pamphlets, leaflets, you name it, OK? We have seen the deterioration of the support for Israel in the United States almost — I would say, it correlates almost 100% with the geometric rise of social media." He continued, "And that by itself is not what caused it. And I don't believe in, you know, in censoring them or anything. But I'll tell you what happened. We have several countries that basically manipulated social media. And they do it in a clever way. And that's something that has hurt us badly." IRAN-LINKED INFLUENCE CAMPAIGN PUSHES ANTI-ISRAEL MESSAGING DISGUISED AS US VOICES Netanyahu acknowledged that Israel has made "mistakes" in its war against Hamas but emphasized that they were not deliberate actions. "Israel is besieged on the media front, on the propaganda front, and we've not done well on the propaganda war," he said. Netanyahu remarked that even host Major Garrett would not be immune to negative propaganda if there was enough pressure against him. CONTRIBUTOR FOR FAR-LEFT OUTLET CALLS FOR 'WIPING OUT ISRAEL,' SAYS ISRAELIS 'MUSTN'T FEEL SAFE' "I can paint you as a monster," Netanyahu said. "And if I say it often enough, enough people will believe it." An NBC News poll in March found that only 32% of Americans view Israel positively while 39% of Americans saw the nation in a negative light. The shift was far more pronounced among Democrats and independents, while Republicans were still largely sympathetic to the Jewish state. CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE This shift in opinion followed Israel's war with Gaza, as well as the U.S.-led military strikes on Iran. During the interview, Netanyahu indicated that the war with Iran was "not over" yet despite significant accomplishments. "I think it accomplished a great deal, but it's not over, because there's still nuclear material, enriched uranium that has to be taken out of Iran. There are still enrichment sites that have to be dismantled. There are still proxies that Iran supports. There are ballistic missiles that they still want to produce. Now, we've degraded a lot of it. But all that is still there, and there's work to be done," Netanyahu said.

The ruby weighs about 11,000 carats — about 4.8 pounds — and was unearthed near Mogok in the Mandalay region, the center of Burma’s gem industry and an area affected by ongoing conflict, according to The Associated Press, citing state media.  The stone was found in mid-April, shortly after the country’s traditional New Year celebrations. MAN STUMBLES ONTO RARE DIAMOND TREASURE DURING ARKANSAS PARK TRIP WITH FAMILY: 'KNEW IT WAS DIFFERENT' Although it is roughly half the size of a 21,450-carat ruby discovered in 1996, experts say the new find could be more valuable because of its higher quality, the outlet reported. It has a purplish-red color with slight yellow tones, moderate transparency and a highly reflective surface. Burmese President Min Aung Hlaing and his cabinet have already inspected the stone in the country's capital of Naypyidaw. ONCE-IN-A-CENTURY TREASURES DATING BACK 4,500 YEARS UNEARTHED IN LEGENDARY CITY Burma produces up to 90% of the world’s rubies, mostly from Mogok and nearby Mong Hsu.  The gem trade — both legal and illegal — is a major source of income in the country. However, rights groups, including Global Witness, have long urged jewelers to avoid buying Burmese gemstones, saying the trade helps fund the country's military governments, according to The Associated Press. RARE 10-CARAT BLUE DIAMOND AMONG $100M WORTH OF GEMS GOING UP FOR AUCTION Gem mining also finances ethnic armed groups fighting for autonomy, contributing to Burma’s long-running conflicts. The mining regions remain unstable.  Mogok was seized in July 2024 by the Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA), an ethnic armed group.

The French phenom found himself in early foul trouble of the worst kind on Mother's Day. The San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama was ejected from Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals after a heated exchange in the paint with Minnesota’s Naz Reid. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! The ejection occurred with 8:39 left in the first half at the Target Center. Wembanyama was swinging, hoping to shield the ball after a rebound when he unleashed a high right elbow, which caught Reid squarely in the chin, sending the Timberwolves forward to the hardwood. Spurs teammate Dylan Harper was left gobsmacked by the hit, just steps away from it. Officials initially called a common foul but moved to a video review as the Minnesota crowd grew restless. After examining the replay, the call was upgraded to a Flagrant 2. SPURS PHENOM VICTOR WEMBANYAMA MAKES NBA HISTORY WITH FIRST CAREER DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARD Wembanyama left the floor with just four points and four rebounds in 12 minutes of action. His absence left the Spurs without their primary defensive anchor in a pivotal road matchup. Reid hit both resulting free throws. This marks the first time in Wembanyama's professional career that he has been booted from a game. The NBA will likely review the incident for potential further discipline.

Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., may have violated his oath with comments he made to a news outlet following a classified briefing. Kelly told Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation that it is "shocking how deep we have gone into these magazines" when asked if the Pentagon has updated lawmakers on the Iran war's impact on U.S. weapons stockpiles.  The senator told Brennan the Tomahawks, Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS), RIM-161 Standard Missile 3 (SM-3), Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) rounds and Patriot rounds used to defend the U.S. have been hit hard, adding that it will take years to replenish those stockpiles, which could affect a hypothetical U.S. conflict with China. In response, Hegseth questioned whether Kelly, a former Navy pilot, may have violated his oath and said the Pentagon's legal counsel will review his comments. FEDERAL JUDGE BLOCKS PENTAGON FROM DEMOTING MARK KELLY OVER CONTROVERSIAL MILITARY VIDEO "'Captain' Mark Kelly strikes again," Hegseth wrote on X. "Now he’s blabbing on TV (falsely & dumbly) about a *CLASSIFIED* Pentagon briefing he received," he continued. "Did he violate his oath… again? @DeptofWar legal counsel will review." This comes amid a months-long dispute between Hegseth and Kelly over the senator's participation in a video with some of his Democratic colleagues in Congress urging U.S. military members to ignore "illegal" orders. The DOJ had opened an investigation into the video posted online featuring six Democratic lawmakers calling on troops and members of the intelligence community to defy illegal orders from the federal government. The lawmakers all served in the military or at intelligence agencies. In addition to Kelly, the other lawmakers in the video were Sens. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, as well as Reps. Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire and Jason Crow of Colorado. GRAND JURY REJECTS DOJ EFFORT TO INDICT DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS WHO URGED MILITARY TO DEFY ILLEGAL ORDERS "This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens," the lawmakers said in the video. "Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats coming to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution." Grand jurors declined to sign off on charges against the lawmakers in February. In November, the Pentagon launched an investigation into Kelly, pointing to a federal law that allows retired service members to be recalled to active duty on orders of the secretary for possible court-martial or other punishment. Hegseth has censured Kelly and has attempted to retroactively demote him from his retired rank of captain over his participation in the video, which affirms that refusing unlawful orders is a standard part of military protocol. But a federal court ruling blocked the Pentagon from demoting the lawmaker over the video. The court also found the Pentagon likely violated Kelly’s First Amendment rights, and those of "millions of military retirees," when it formally censured him on Jan. 5. Hegseth subsequently appealed that ruling. Last week, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit heard oral arguments and appeared largely skeptical of Hegseth’s attempt to punish Kelly for the video. "I will not back down from this fight," Kelly said after the hearing. President Donald Trump had accused the lawmakers of being "traitors" who engaged in "sedition at the highest level" and "should be in jail" after the video was posted last fall. He even suggested they should be executed over the video, although he later attempted to walk that comment back. Slotkin, who previously worked at the CIA and Pentagon, was targeted with a bomb threat just days after the clip and Trump's subsequent statements suggesting the Democrats be executed. Fox News Digital reached out to Kelly for comment.

While appearing on the "More Perfect Union" podcast on Thursday, Platner discussed his goal to rein in billionaires, believing that they have "too much power" and are "currently running the country" instead of President Donald Trump. Platner was then asked how he could implement policies to go after billionaires, such as higher taxes, that do not also affect small businesses as they have in the past. MAINE DEMOCRAT GRAHAM PLATNER PROMISES HE'LL BE 'ARRESTED' AS A SENATOR IF GOP KEEPS CONTROL OF CHAMBER "I think, and I'll just be upfront, I think that the reason that it's hit the middle class every time they try is that they're not actually trying," Platner said. "Because if they did, it would bother the people that donate the most money to them. And in this political system, that's all any of these folks seem to care about." Platner remarked that his old college roommate, who became an IRS agent, gave him insight into how government organizations are encouraged to target small businesses over billionaires. GRAHAM PLATNER UNVEILS PLAN TO 'SHUT THIS WHITE HOUSE DOWN,' STOP TRUMP ADMIN FROM FUNCTIONING "And for years, he would always tell me, he’s like, 'You know, it's very funny. When our budget gets cut, our bosses come down and say, it is time to go after small- and medium-sized businesses, because we don't have the manpower or the resources to go tangle with a billionaire's legal team.' It's much easier just to go down and go after just a small [business]," Platner said. He continued, "And what's amazing to me is we're doing that, meanwhile, the total amount of uncollected taxes from corporations in this country, is in the hundreds of billions of dollars." 'WE'RE TAXING THE RICH': NYC MAYOR MAMDANI TOUTS NEW $500M-A-YEAR TAX ON LUXURY SECOND HOMES Fox News Digital reached out to Platner's campaign for comment. Platner's hope to target billionaires comes as fellow progressive and current New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani pushes his latest "tax the rich" policy on luxury homes. Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist, also recently laughed off concerns of wealthy residents leaving her city due to higher taxes.

Over the last decade, the Astros have the second-most wins and second-highest winning percentage of any organization at 890-627.  They’ve won two World Series titles, one in 2022 and the other in 2017. Though that 2017 championship is marred by one of the most egregious cheating scandals in baseball history.  They’ve made the World Series four times since 2017, won the AL West seven out of eight years, and made the postseason eight years in a row. That streak ended in 2025, when a slew of injuries led to an 87-75 season. 2026 was supposed to be a return to form, led by ace Hunter Brown, new import Tatsuya Imai, closer Josh Hader, one of the best handful of hitters in baseball, Yordan Alvarez, and hope for a resurgent season back in Houston for Carlos Correa.  Fast forward to mid-May, and the Astros are, well, bad. After yet another loss on Sunday, they’ve dropped to 16-25, sit tied for last place in the division, and have the second-worst run differential in the American League. ASTROS' $54M PITCHER BLAMES ARM FATIGUE ON STRUGGLE TO ADJUST TO AMERICAN LIFESTYLE  That’s just the start of their problems.  Brown has been on the injured list for most of the season with a shoulder strain. Josh Hader has yet to pitch this year after suffering left biceps tendinitis. Jeremy Pena has been out since mid-April with a hamstring strain. Imai went down with arm fatigue after a brutal start to his MLB career, then blamed that arm fatigue on a tough adjustment to the US lifestyle. Christian Javier is out with a shoulder strain of his own.   Then, the big blow. Just last week, Correa went down for the season with a torn ankle tendon, an injury that occurred during batting practice. ASTROS STAR CARLOS CORREA OUT FOR THE SEASON AFTER TEARING ANKLE TENDON DURING BATTING PRACTICE Some of these injured players are set to return in the coming weeks, but it’s raising a difficult question for a team that’s always a part of the postseason conversation: Is it time to sell? The free agent market after the 2026 season isn’t a strong one, and the headliner, Tarik Skubal, is going to miss time with an injury of his own. Could Houston sell Alvarez and rebuild for next year and beyond?  Bob Nightengale from USA Today broached that topic, quoting a "veteran scout" who likened Alvarez to Barry Bonds. Another executive said any potential trade package would be gigantic. "He’s the greatest pure hitter I’ve seen in this game since Barry Bonds," the scout said. "This guy is unbelievable. He’s the best pure hitter in the game, and it’s not close." ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! "If they traded him, I think they’d get a better package than what the Nationals got for Juan Soto," added the executive. Nightengale added that no deal is close, and it remains unlikely, but the Astros would be irresponsible not to listen if such an offer presents itself. Alvarez is, once again, having an outstanding season. Entering Sunday, he was hitting .327/.432/.660 with 13 home runs, good for a 195 weighted runs created plus and 2.1 wins above replacement. He’s still just 28-years-old, and signed through the 2028 season. Though he has little defensive value, his offensive contributions are so valuable he’d bring back a number of top prospects. And any number of teams would be interested.  The Mets, for example, are desperate for help on offense. The Boston Red Sox could be aggressive, and have the prospects to swing a deal. San Francisco under Buster Posey has shown a willingness to make big trades. There won’t be a shortage of suitors, if Alvarez is made available. And given Houston’s aging roster, overwhelming injuries, and poor start, maybe he should be.

The ad, which has circulated widely on X in recent days, attacks Spencer Pratt over homelessness, policing and public employee unions while urging voters to reject the Republican candidate. "Republican Spencer Pratt is the last thing Los Angeles needs for mayor," the speaker in the video says. "Pratt opposes using taxpayer money to build brand new houses for unhoused neighbors, saying it's time for the homeless to get help or get out. "Pratt thinks L.A. needs thousands more police officers rather than more social workers, and Republican Spencer Pratt thinks public employee unions should have less power, not more," the ad continued. "LA is on the right track and needs to stay the course. Vote no on Republican Spencer Pratt." WATCH: LEFT-WING LA MAYOR FACES REALITY TV CHALLENGER’S BLUNT TAKEDOWNS IN HEATED MAYORAL DEBATE Los Angeles Ethics Commission filings show the ad was funded by an independent expenditure committee called "LA Unions Opposed to Spencer Pratt for Mayor 2026," which is sponsored by the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO. The group reported spending $221,000 on digital advertising opposing Spencer Pratt in a Form 496 filing. The tone and framing of the ad quickly sparked reaction online, with some users suggesting the criticisms could resonate with voters frustrated by conditions in Los Angeles rather than weaken Spencer Pratt’s campaign. SPENCER PRATT IS STANDOUT LA MAYORAL CANDIDATE IN DEBUT DEBATE PERFORMANCE: '10/10 NO NOTES' Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, amplified the video on X, writing, "This attack ad could well elect Pratt." Some users on X also mocked the ad’s messaging. One user wrote, "This is supposed to be an attack ad??? Lolol." Another wrote, "Wow even @UnrigLA is running ads supporting Spencer Pratt. This is such an incredible ad supporting Spencer Pratt!!!" Fox News Digital has reached out to Spencer Pratt’s campaign and the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor for comment. ROGAN BACKS REALITY TV STAR SPENCER PRATT’S BID FOR LA MAYOR, SAYS ‘I’D VOTE FOR YOU’ The ad comes as Pratt’s mayoral bid has gained attention following his performance in a recent debate, where he drew notice for his blunt criticisms of city leadership and policy priorities, including the handling of homelessness and crime. Pratt has emphasized issues such as homelessness, public safety and government spending throughout his campaign, positioning himself as a political outsider challenging the status quo in Los Angeles and drawing support from voters dissatisfied with current leadership. Independent expenditure committees are prohibited from coordinating with candidates and are commonly used by outside groups to influence elections, according to the Los Angeles City Ethics Commission.

Before a public address announcer took the microphone, the Lynx organization held a moment of silence for Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, two residents killed during federal immigration operations in January. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! The arena announcer then led the formal tribute, stating, "Please join us in honoring Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti with a moment of silence." WATCH: He added, "We continue to extend our love, support and heartfelt sympathies to Renee and Alex's families, friends and our community." THOUSANDS MARCH THROUGH MINNEAPOLIS, SWARM TARGET CENTER DEMANDING ICE REMOVAL FROM MINNESOTA The quiet lasted seconds before a fan shouted "f--k ICE" from the stands. Cheers immediately broke out across the arena in response to the obscenity. The scene mirrored a Minnesota Timberwolves game from earlier this year, where the NBA franchise attempted a similar moment of silence for Renee Good. PROTESTERS CLASH WITH FEDERAL OFFICERS AFTER ANOTHER ICE SHOOTING IN MINNEAPOLIS The Lynx organization has leaned heavily into the political narrative surrounding these deaths. Coach Cheryl Reeve has used her social media platforms to post "#ICEOUT." Ex-Lynx guard DiJonai Carrington has also used her personal platform to refer to federal agents as "masked criminals." The political firestorm has reached the highest levels of the NBA, at one point forcing Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr to issue a formal apology for his inflammatory and flat-out wrong commentary against ICE after OutKick asked him for clarification on his comments. STEVE KERR APOLOGIZES FOR SPREADING 'MISINFORMATION' RELATED TO ICE Kerr had initially criticized federal agencies for their role in the January shootings, calling the government's narrative "shameful," but he admitted to misinterpreting the specific facts of the investigations during a pregame session at Chase Center in late February. STEVE KERR SAYS IMMIGRATION SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY CONGRESS, CLAIMS FEDS 'TAKING 5-YEAR-OLD KINDERGARTNERS' "You’re right, I definitely misspoke, and I knew that ICE was arresting some criminals," Kerr told OutKick. "I immediately regretted it because I knew that to be the case. My point is that they’re also arresting people and detaining citizens and people who should not be being detained. The manner in which they’re doing it, as you see, is riling everybody up all over the country." Kerr continued, "Being in Minneapolis for those four days was incredibly emotional and powerful. It was a very difficult time for all of us... I misspoke, and I apologize for the misinformation. I hope everybody else out there who’s saying stuff that’s not true, please apologize, too. All right, let’s talk about basketball." CELLPHONE VIDEO RELEASED IN DEADLY MINNEAPOLIS ICE AGENT SHOOTING The rage in Minneapolis centers on two specific events from earlier this year. On Jan. 7, Renee Good was shot and killed by ICE officer Jonathan Ross. Federal officials claim Good used her vehicle to interfere with a lawful operation, while local activists dispute that account. On Jan. 24, Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, was shot 10 times by Border Patrol agents. Video footage appeared to show Pretti recording the agents on his phone before a physical altercation began. The violence following Pretti's death was so severe that a Timberwolves game was postponed versus the Warriors to ensure public safety. While the Lynx lost a close 91-90 contest to the Dream on Saturday, the game itself was secondary to the continued vitriol against ICE stirring in the WNBA and NBA.

If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please contact the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988 or 800-273-TALK (8255). Martin Short is breaking his silence on the recent death of his daughter Katherine Short. During a May 10 appearance on "CBS Sunday Morning," the 76-year-old actor and comedian spoke out about how he is coping with the loss of Katherine, who died by suicide at the age of 42 in February. Short shared Katherine with his late wife Nancy Dolman, who passed away after a battle with ovarian cancer in 2010. "It's been a nightmare for the family," Short said of Katherine's death. MARTIN SHORT'S DAUGHTER KATHERINE DEAD AT 42 "But the understanding [is] that mental health and cancer, like my wife's, are both diseases, and sometimes with diseases they are terminal," he continued. "And my daughter fought for a long time with extreme mental health, borderline personality disorder, other things, and did the best she could until she couldn't." VIRGINIA MADSEN SAYS VETERANS AREN’T TRAINED TO COME HOME AFTER NEPHEW’S SUICIDE Fox News Digital previously confirmed that Katherine died by suicide on Feb.23. According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, Katherine’s place of death was listed as her residence, and the cause was determined to be a "gunshot wound of [the] head." "It is with profound grief that we confirm the passing of Katherine Hartley Short," a family representative shared in a statement with Fox News Digital at the time. DAVID HASSELHOFF AND PAMELA BACH'S DAUGHTER ADMITS 'PAIN IS UNBEARABLE' AFTER MOM'S DEATH "The Short family is devastated by this loss, and asks for privacy at this time. Katherine was beloved by all and will be remembered for the light and joy she brought into the world." Following Katherine’s death, Short postponed dates on his comedy tour with longtime friend and collaborator Steve Martin. Katherine was the eldest of the three children Short adopted with Dolman. The two also shared sons Oliver, 40 and Henry, 36. The couple were married for more than three decades before Dolman's death. GARY SINISE FINDS HEALING IN HIS LATE SON’S MUSIC, SAYS HE LEFT A ‘TREASURE CHEST’ OF SIGNS BEHIND Prior to her death, Katherine built a career as a licensed clinical social worker in Los Angeles, focusing on therapy and mental health advocacy after studying psychology at New York University and earning a master’s degree in social work from the University of Southern California. She worked both in private practice and in community outreach connected to mental health services. Despite a career defined by laughter — from the iconic wedding planner Franck in "Father of the Bride" to his recent turn in the Emmy-winning series "Only Murders in the Building" — Short has never shied away from speaking about the private heartbreak that unfolded behind the scenes. Early in his life, Short experienced multiple family tragedies in a short span of time, including the death of his older brother David in a car accident in 1962 when the actor was only 12-years-old. Short's mother, Olive, passed away after a battle with cancer in 1968 and his father, Charles, died following a stroke just two years later in 1970.

"It's been a tough two years for my children," he told The Guardian in October 2012. LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?

There's no big surprise." Nearly a decade later, he reflected on how grief evolves rather than disappears. "It’s tough," he told AARP in 2019. "I still communicate with her all the time. It’s ‘Hey, Nan,’ you know?" He added, "I believe that when people die, they zoom into the people that love them. This idea that it just ends, and don’t speak of them — that’s wrong. That’s based on denial that we’re all going to die. So to me, she’s still here."

Chimaev, who had never lost a UFC fight in his 16-bout career, was a convincing favorite heading into this co-main event for UFC 328, but Strickland was named victor by split decision after five hard-fought rounds, where he revealed he wasn’t even at full health. After having the belt put around his waist by Chimaev, Strickland said that he injured his shoulder sparring earlier in the week. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM "Funny story – on Tuesday, I’m sparring Johnny [Eblen], that motherf-----, PFL champ. I’m at Plinio Cruz’s gym. He shoots on me, and I hit his bricka—wall, and I separate my shoulder," Strickland told reporters during hisi post-fight press conference. "So, I had a grade one AC join separation on Tuesday. I remember lying in bed on Tuesday night, and I can’t lie on my right side. I’m like, ‘You’re such a f---ing idiot. You’re such a f---ing idiot." Strickland added that he likes to have some better pre-fight warmups in the back dressing rooms, but he was unable to do so in fear that he might hurt his shoulder again. And a shoulder injury is never good against a wrestler, which Chimaev has shown to dominate in throughout his UFC career. UFC GREAT JIM MILLER PICKS UP VICTORY IN FIRST FIGHT SINCE SON'S CANCER BATTLE, MAKES HEARTWARMING REVEAL Chimaev proved that in the first round, as he took down Strickland to the canvas just 15 seconds in. It was the dominant performance many believed would ensue at the Prudential Center between these two fighters. That is until Strickland found some momentum in the second round, staying on his feet and landing strikes. From there, both fighters were trading blows, but the fifth round was when Strickland had an interesting moment with Chimaev. As both fighters were bloodied, Strickland said that Chimaev pointed to the mat near the end of the fifth round, which is a sign to fighters to start throwing haymakers. However, there’s usually an honor code with that – nothing else but punches and giving the fight crowd a show. "He pointed at the mat and said, ‘Let’s give the people what they want, let’s have the man dance,’ or some s---. And I was like, ‘OK. I trust you, the guy that just kicked me in the balls yesterday. I trust you, Chimaev. You seem like a real trustworthy guy. I like your smile. We shook hands, I believe you.’ "So, I put my hands up, and he f---ing shoots at me." While Strickland didn’t like the move, he and Chimaev were showing respect for one another during the match, and obviously the move by the latter after the match to pass the belt over to his opponent. The 35-year-old Strickland is a polarizing figure in UFC, but he had the crowd raucously chanting "U-S-A!" over and over, especially after being named champion.

The suspected new slick comes as U.N. officials warned Sunday that oil spills in the region could trigger an environmental catastrophe amid the ongoing Strait of Hormuz crisis. "Another possible oil spill was detected today at 11 a.m. local time," Windward told Fox News Digital. The approximate visible area, according to the firm, was between 12 to 20 square kilometers. Tehran has pointed to foreign vessels, but maritime experts say the main slick — estimated at tens of thousands of barrels and covering about 65 square kilometers, according to the U.N. University Institute for Water, Environment and Health — is more likely linked to aging infrastructure, pipeline ruptures or a "war mode" environment that has threatened the waterway since February. IRAN THREATENS MASS ‘WATER WAR’ WITH STRIKES ON KEY PLANTS IN DAYS, UN OFFICIAL WARNS "We should worry about the cause of the slick and monitor things carefully to see if there are new developments," U.N. official Dr. Kaveh Madani told Fox News Digital. "If this slick gets bigger, we should be seriously worried about there being a leakage of aging infrastructure," Madani said, adding the slick was "moving away toward the southwest of the island." "We just have to see how it moves and if it gets closer to the centers of population. If it does, desalination operations also must be halted. The risk is low right now," he said. Madani also noted the slick is near a zone with a heavy concentration of pipelines and energy infrastructure. "Keeping these infrastructure systems healthy and operational has been very hard for the Iranians even in peacetime due to sanctions," he said, warning that amid conflict, a "major accident is very likely." Water circulation in the Persian Gulf is slow, meaning pollution can persist for extended periods, he added. "We saw similar instances during the Gulf wars and the Iran-Iraq War, with these things impacting coastal communities, the fishing industry, marine life and even the intake of desalination plants," he said. BEFORE-AND-AFTER SATELLITE IMAGERY OFFERS A RARE LOOK AT DAMAGE INSIDE IRAN The larger spill, visible in satellite images as a gray-and-white slick, was first detected west of Kharg Island, Windward AI reported May 8, and has been steadily moving. "It is believed to be crude rather than bunker fuel and unlikely to have come from a ship, possibly originating from pipeline issues or a failed ship-to-ship transfer," the firm said. The spill could pass through Qatar’s exclusive economic zone within about four days, with possible landfall near Al Mirfa in the United Arab Emirates in roughly 13 days, according to Windward. The incident comes as Washington ramps up "Economic Fury," tightening sanctions and increasing its naval presence near the Strait of Hormuz to curb Iran’s oil exports. Since Iran closed the strait in late February following the outbreak of hostilities, tankers have bottlenecked across the region as the vital oil chokepoint remains largely shut. "We also know that there are many tankers in the area, so there is a chance of an accidental spill," Madani said. US EYES SEIZING IRAN’S OIL LIFELINE — BUT IT MAY NOT CRIPPLE TEHRAN "As long as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is there and the region is in a war mode, the environment would not be a priority, but monitoring the behavior of tankers would not be trivial," he said. Meanwhile, Jafar Pourkabgani, a lawmaker representing Bushehr province, claimed the slick was caused by "oil residue and ballast water waste from European tankers" discharged into the sea. "This claim is false and part of the enemy’s psychological operation," he wrote on X, referring to allegations Iran released oil due to full storage tanks. Iran’s Oil Terminals Company also denied reports of a leak near Kharg Island, according to Reuters. The company’s chief executive said Sunday that inspections found no evidence of leaks from storage tanks, pipelines, loading facilities or nearby tankers.

Non-conference games between historic programs are must-see TV, not just because of the stakes, but because fan bases and conferences rely on those results.  And the unfortunate reality of how the sport is organized in the modern era is that those big non-conference games are going to become less and less common. Which is precisely the opposite of what most college football fans want.  The 12-team College Football Playoff has already created incentives for easier schedules. Notre Dame being perhaps the best example. The Irish have, historically, never shied away from tough games, despite being an independent program. But a new arrangement with the College Football Playoff committee has guaranteed them a spot in the tournament moving forward should they finish in the top 12. FIVE SEC TRAP GAMES IN 2026 THAT COULD UPEND THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF RACE, FROM LSU TO GEORGIA Their schedule in 2026 reflects that reality: Wisconsin at Lambeau Field, Rice, Michigan State, at Purdue, at North Carolina, Stanford, at BYU, Navy, Miami, Boston College, SMU, at Syracuse. That’s a schedule set up to win 10-11 games and be in the top 12 come December.  Compare it to Texas. The Longhorns have Texas State, Ohio State, UTSA, at Tennessee, Oklahoma, Florida, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, at Missouri, at LSU, Arkansas, at Texas A&M. Then, should they finish that brutal, grueling schedule with a quality season, a date in the SEC Championship Game against a team like Georgia or Alabama. Head coach Steve Sarkisian was so frustrated at missing the 2025-26 playoff field at 9-3 that he essentially threatened to stop scheduling top non-conference teams like Ohio State moving forward.  Then, just this month, the American Football Coaches Association came out in favor of expanding the field to 24, further limiting the incentive to schedule tough games. Why put yourself at risk of losing that fourth game when a 3-0 non-conference run and 6-3 in-conference record in the Big Ten or SEC would likely be enough to reach the field? USC LEGENDS REACT TO STORIED NOTRE DAME RIVALRY GOING ON INDEFINITE HIATUS That brings us to another recent sign that college football is moving in the wrong direction: the cancellation of a scheduled home-and-home series between Georgia and the Florida State Seminoles.  In a recent statement, the teams announced that they had "mutually agreed" to take the 2027 and 2028 games off the calendar. With hopes of moving to a mutual site. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! "As we considered the effects of evolving scheduling mandates within both the Atlantic Coast Conference and the Southeastern Conference, we have mutually agreed that it is in the best interest of both schools to cancel our home-and-home series scheduled for 2027 and 2028," said FSU Vice President and Director of Athletics Michael Alford. "We are now discussing playing a future neutral-site contest, and we are optimistic we will get that done. Importantly, this change will not reduce the total home games on our schedule moving forward." Well, there you have it. Instead of playing huge games against big-name teams from other conferences, on campus, in front of a student section and raucous home crowds, new "schedule mandates" are influencing teams to move games to neutral sites. Instead of "The Doak" or "Between the hedges," should the series be rescheduled, it’ll likely be yet another game played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. These new schedule mandates, playing nine conference games like teams in the Big Ten or the former Pac-12 did for years, as well as the expanded playoff, now mean that schools are looking for ways to minimize their downside. Instead of prioritizing the upside and providing a better and more meaningful experience for fans.  It’s been that way for quite some time, unfortunately. But this new era of super conferences and bigger postseason tournaments is only making it worse. Most fans would almost certainly prefer to play these big games in a home-home format, even if it means an extra loss. Most schools now don’t seem to care.

Vanesa McCaskell, a retired Army veteran from Virginia, took home more than $240,150 in cash and prizes during the CBS series' special Mother's Day episode on Friday. The milestone win came after McCaskell successfully navigated "The Lion’s Share," a newer high-stakes BetMGM-branded game in which contestants can risk their earnings for a chance at significantly larger payouts. McCaskell walked away from "The Lion's Share" with $227,500 in cash and a trip to Morocco worth $12,650. Her win surpassed the previous single pricing-game record of $210,000, which was set by former contestant Christen Freeman in 2016 during a game of "Cliff Hangers." 'THE PRICE IS RIGHT' CONTESTANT WINS NEW CAR AFTER CRASHING OWN VEHICLE "From ‘Come on Down’ to playing ‘The Lion’s Share,’ it all felt so surreal – a dream moment that only kept getting bigger," McCaskell said in a statement, via Variety. "I was nervous, excited and everything at once," she added. "Winning over $200,000 is life changing. I plan to invest wisely, enjoy a little and treat my mom to a special surprise." "The Lion's Share," which "The Price Is Right's" production company Freemantle created in partnership with BetMGM, was introduced during the first episode of the 54th season in September 2025 and allows contestants to win up to $500,000 in cash and prizes.

After each reveal, contestants must decide whether to walk away with their winnings or continue playing at the risk of drawing a "lose it all" ball. During Friday's episode, McCaskell took an aggressive approach to the game as her daughter watched and cheered from the audience. After winning $2,500 in the first round, McCaskell continued, dropping to the floor in excitement when the prize was revealed to be $25,000. McCaskell proceeded through the third round and began screaming after she won $100,000. With two balls left and a total of $127,500 in winnings, McCaskell decided to continue playing.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a010e07a200899a00e97466 Rickie Fowler ties for second at the Truist Championship and the comeback talk returns te 2026-05-10T23:00:23.843Z Rickie Fowler ties for second at the Truist Championship and the comeback talk returns Rickie Fowler didn’t win the Truist Championship, but he didn’t need to hoist the trophy for the week to feel like something more than just a four-day heater. By posting a top-5 finish at Quail Hollow, Fowler gave golf fans a reason to ask the question yet again: is Rickie Fowler officially back? The answer depends on what "back" means. If it means the guy who climbed to No. 4 in the world and spent an entire major championship season knocking on the door, maybe not yet. But if it means one of the sport’s most beloved players is once again relevant in big events, building momentum and giving fans a real reason to believe, then Fowler is at least making the conversation interesting again. The 37-year-old had an incredible amateur career that included spending 36 weeks as the top-ranked amateur in the world in 2007 and 2008. He won the Ben Hogan Award in 2008 as the best college golfer in the country as a star at Oklahoma State. And almost immediately after turning pro, Fowler became something more than just another highly touted young player. Between the Oklahoma State orange, the flat brim, the motocross background and the way fans gravitated toward him, Fowler quickly became one of the most recognizable and most popular players on the PGA Tour. It took him a few years to earn his first PGA Tour win, which he accomplished by beating Rory McIlroy and D.A. Points in a playoff to capture the 2012 Wells Fargo Championship (now called the Truist Championship) at Quail Hollow. That win felt like the beginning of something much bigger. Most golf fans assumed there would be a lot more winning in Fowler’s future, but he didn’t hoist another PGA Tour trophy until he won the prestigious Players Championship in 2015. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Prior to that victory, Fowler put together arguably the most impressive major season ever for a player who didn’t actually win one. In 2014, he finished T-5 at the Masters, T-2 at the U.S. Open, T-2 at the Open Championship and T-3 at the PGA Championship. After winning the Players in 2015, he eventually worked his way to No. 4 in the world. However, he couldn’t keep up the incredible pace he set in 2014 and early 2015. Despite nine top-5 finishes and 13 top-10 finishes in major championships, Fowler has yet to win one. That’s part of what has always made Fowler such a fascinating figure. He’s been beloved by fans, respected by his peers and consistently close enough on the biggest stages to make the major-less résumé feel more surprising than disappointing. But this latest run didn’t come out of nowhere. Fowler has quietly been stacking solid results for the better part of a year. He finished T-15 at last year’s Truist Championship, T-7 at the Memorial, T-14 at The Open Championship, T-6 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship and T-7 at the BMW Championship. This season, he’s added top-10 finishes at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, RBC Heritage and Cadillac Championship before putting himself in position again at Quail Hollow. The T-2 finish at the Truist Championship marked Fowler's third consecutive top-10 finish, along with his T-8 at RBC Heritage and T-9 at the Cadillac Championship. Those 2026 top-10 finishes all came in PGA Tour Signature Events, limited-field tournaments built to bring together the best players on Tour, further pushing the narrative that Fowler still has enough game to compete with the best golfers in the world. There’s also a bigger-picture reason Fowler’s recent form matters. This isn’t just about whether he can contend on a Sunday again. It’s about whether he can force his way back into the tournaments where his career has always felt most unfinished. Fowler didn't qualify for the Masters this year and has only teed it up at Augusta once since 2021. He also missed the U.S. Open last year after falling short in final qualifying. He did make The Open last summer, but too often over the past few years, Fowler has been fighting just to get into majors rather than trying to win them. That’s what makes this stretch so important. Fowler is already in the field for this week’s PGA Championship at Aronimink, and he currently sits close enough in the world ranking for another strong week to change the rest of his major schedule. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE The U.S. Open takes the top 60 in the Official World Golf Ranking on May 18 and again on June 15, while The Open has a top-50 OWGR exemption for Week 21. Fowler entered the weekend just outside the top 50, meaning a big week at the PGA could do more than strengthen the "Rickie is back" argument. It could put him back where fans are used to seeing him, competing in the sport’s most important events. In fact, if Fowler were to turn this momentum into a top-four finish at the PGA Championship, that would bring another reward: a return trip to the Masters in April. None of this means the 37-year-old is all the way back to the player who climbed to No. 4 in the world, but it does make this week feel less like a one-off performance and more like the continuation of an emerging trend. For a player whose career has always been defined by popularity, near-misses and unfinished major championship business, that’s more than enough to make the golf world pay attention again.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., tripled down on her critique of billionaires Friday, claiming that the American Revolution was fought against the "billionaires of their time." "I want to talk about how this is in the heritage of our country, because America was founded… you look at Thomas Jefferson writing to Madison in revolt of British aristocracy," Ocasio-Cortez said at the University of Chicago Institute of Politics. "The American Revolution was against the billionaires of their time. And we are declaring independence from such an extreme marriage of wealth and power and the state that the voices of everyday people did not exist." Ocasio-Cortez was responding to criticism she received for her comments arguing billionaires didn't "earn" their fortunes and likely built their businesses on "abuse." AOC, ASKED ABOUT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, SAYS HER AMBITION IS 'WAY BIGGER THAN THAT' "You can’t earn a billion dollars," Ocasio-Cortez said Thursday. "You can get market power. You can break rules. You can do all sorts of things. You can abuse labor laws. You can pay people less than what they’re worth. But you can’t earn that, right? And so you have to create a myth... you have to create a myth of earning it." Regarding the backlash, Ocasio-Cortez accused critics of pushing a "red herring" by assuming she believes all billionaires are immoral rather than focusing on the "immorality" of income inequality. "They like to talk about American ethos as though it's an attack on American values, an attack on our idea of success. And first of all, I mean, call me crazy, but I don't think that every single American aspires to be a billionaire. I think that our idea of success, they might not object, but I don't think it's the universal American ideal," Ocasio-Cortez said. AOC SLAMS ‘OPPRESSED’ TRUMP STATES WHILE TOUTING NYC SERVICES DESPITE $5B DEFICIT AND TRANSIT CRIME SPIKE Ocasio-Cortez's comments received renewed criticism from conservatives who pointed out that many wealthy citizens, including George Washington, helped lead and finance the American Revolution against the British government, not the aristocracy. "No, AOC, the American Revolution was NOT 'against the billionaires of their time.' It was against a large, distant, overly intrusive government that recognized no limits over its own authority to tax, regulate, and eat out the substance of the citizens it claimed to serve," Utah Sen. Mike Lee wrote. LEFT-WING HOST BLASTS AOC AS 'WEAK,' SAYS SHE ONLY ENGAGES CRITICS WHO ARE 100% FRIENDLY Texas Sen.

And the Revolution was financed by American free enterprise…the 'billionaires' of that time." "Uh, if George Washington wasn’t the wealthiest man in the colonies he was pretty close," Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wrote. Fox News Digital reached out to Ocasio-Cortez's office for comment. After her original comments on billionaires went viral, Ocasio-Cortez doubled down on her claims in an X post. "The single largest form of theft in America is wage theft. $50 billion a year are stolen from American workers," she wrote. "Some people get enraged that I draw attention to this. That’s on them. Let them call me shrill, dumb, inexperienced, girly, uneducated — these folks will say anything to distract from or undercut the truth that working people are getting screwed, and giving people a fair shake means we must have a grown conversation about reigning in abuse of power." Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a01024ea200899a00e972f0 China’s undersea cable threat raises $10T fears as Trump-Xi talks loom te 2026-05-10T22:10:22.514Z China’s undersea cable threat raises $10T fears as Trump-Xi talks loom The U.S. economy is under threat from adversaries like China targeting undersea cables with the ability to "inflict devastating economic chaos almost at will," a former U.S. intelligence official warned Sunday. These cables carry 99% of global data and support up to $10 trillion in daily financial transactions, according to reports. Andrew Badger, chief strategy officer at Coalition Systems, a defense tech startup, spoke as President Donald Trump is set to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing for talks expected to focus on trade, artificial intelligence and Taiwan. Taiwan, a flashpoint in U.S.-China tensions, has reported about 30 subsea cable incidents in recent years, including one in which Chinese vessels allegedly severed cables and cut communications for months. INTERNATIONAL UNDERWATER CABLE ATTACKS BY RUSSIA, CHINA ARE NO ‘MERE COINCIDENCE’ WARNS EU’S TOP DIPLOMAT "America depends on the fragile nervous system of subsea cables for modern life," Badger, a former Pentagon official and author, told Fox News Digital before warning that U.S. adversaries "seek to turn the bottom of the ocean into a battlefield." "The asymmetric threat — China and Russia are devoting far more resources to attacking undersea infrastructure than the U.S. or its allies are to defending it," Badger said. "They've identified one of our greatest vulnerabilities, and we haven't caught up. A coordinated strike on American undersea infrastructure could fundamentally disrupt our way of life — the internet, banking, energy markets and military communications all run through these cables. The dollar cost is almost incalculable, and the real damage would be the chaos and political instability that would follow," he said. Badger’s remarks came after Senate Republican Whip John Barrasso, R-Wyo., alongside Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., introduced the bipartisan Strategic Subsea Cables Act of 2026 in April. The legislation is aimed at strengthening the security and resilience of critical undersea infrastructure. TAIWAN COAST GUARD DETAINS CHINESE-CREWED VESSEL SUSPECTED OF CUTTING UNDERSEA CABLE "Undersea cables are important for a variety of reasons. They carry 99% of the world’s internet traffic. They also support $10 trillion in financial transactions each and every day," Barrasso said in a statement. In April, China’s Ministry of Natural Resources confirmed a successful deep-sea mission testing an advanced "electro-hydrostatic actuator," a device capable of slicing through armored submarine cables at depths of 3,500 meters, according to reports. Similar suspicious disruptions have been reported in Europe and elsewhere, raising concerns about coordinated "gray-zone" operations designed to probe Western responses while remaining below the threshold of open conflict. "This is hybrid warfare in its purest form, designed to weaken the adversary below the threshold of declared war," Badger said, noting that incidents such as anchors dragging across the seabed can provide plausible deniability. HORMUZ CHAOS SPARKS WARNING: CHINA COULD STRANGLE TAIWAN WITHOUT FIRING A SHOT "Cables give Beijing and Moscow the ability to inflict devastating economic chaos almost at will," Badger warned. "This gives both nations tremendous strategic leverage over the U.S." China could also potentially target American undersea cables as a deterrent to U.S. engagement in Taiwan, according to Badger. "Beijing could simultaneously target cables landing in the U.S., not to win militarily, but with the goal of breaking the American public's will to intervene in Taiwan," he said. China claims Taiwan as its own territory, while the U.S. — Taiwan’s largest unofficial ally — supplies weapons under a law requiring it to help the island defend itself. The Taiwan Strait is also a critical artery for the artificial intelligence revolution’s most essential resources. Anniki Mikelsaar of the Oxford Internet Institute said growth in AI’s use means "rising capacity requirements on submarine cables.

It was a 51-point blowout against the Atlanta Hawks in Game 6 of their First Round matchup earlier in these NBA Playoffs. But with a potential sweep on deck against the Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals on Sunday, the Knicks put on a historic shooting clinic from beyond the arc in the first half. The Knicks tied the first quarter and first half NBA Playoffs record for three-pointers made, as they just couldn’t seem to miss at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Game 4 against the Sixers. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM In the first quarter, the Knicks held a 43-24 lead after shooting 11-of-13 from three-point land, with Miles "Deuce" McBride going 4-for-4 to start his game and help New York race out to a substantial lead. The Knicks didn’t stray from their gameplan in the second quarter. McBride knocked down two more three-pointers, going 6-of-7 for a team-high 20 points at halftime. But he wasn’t alone. 76ERS' JOEL EMBIID TAKES THINLY-VEILED SHOT AT OFFICIALS AFTER KNICKS TAKE COMMANDING 3-0 LEAD IN PLAYOFFS Knicks star point guard Jalen Brunson was 4-of-8 from beyond the arc, Josh Hart made 3-of-5, Karl-Anthony Towns was 2-of-2 and Landry Shamet went 3-of-5 off the bench as New York sank 18 three-pointers, tying the NBA Playoffs first-half record on their way to an 81-57 lead at the half. Shamet, who was solid from three-point territory in New York's Game 3 victory, had a good look to break the first-quarter record, but he hit back iron on the rim for a miss just before the buzzer. Meanwhile, the 76ers couldn’t put out the Knicks’ fire with offense of their own. They shot just 4-of-15 from three-point land, and 51% overall (21-for-41). But their six turnovers resulted in 12 points for the Knicks. Still, It’s hard to battle back after seeing a team shoot over 40% from three, let alone 62% like the Knicks shot. There are still two quarters remaining in this win-or-go-home contest for the Sixers, but the Knicks are looking to put the series away and rest up for the Eastern Conference Finals. Perhaps, more history could be made with some fine shooting in the second half. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

The release includes Polish journalist and activist Andrzej Poczobut, whose case has drawn international attention and concern from European leaders, and signals a potential opening for limited cooperation between Washington and Minsk, even as tensions with Russia remain high and broader disputes persist. "We just secured the release of three Polish and two Moldovan prisoners from Belarusian and Russian detention," Trump said on Truth Social. "Thanks to my Special Presidential Envoy, John Coale, we were able to push hard to make this release happen. "My friend, President Karol Nawrocki of Poland, met with me last September and asked me to help secure Andrzej Poczobut from Belarusian prison," he continued. "Today, Poczobut is free due to our efforts. The United States delivers for our Allies and Friends. SECRETARY OF STATE RUBIO HAILS RELEASE OF US PRISONER IN BELARUS AS CONTROVERSY HANGS OVER NATION'S ELECTION "Thank you to President Aleksandr Lukashenko for his cooperation and friendship. So nice!" Trump added. Poczobut, a correspondent for the Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza and a prominent member of Belarus’ Polish minority, had been serving an eight-year sentence in a case widely criticized as politically motivated. He was arrested in 2021 after reporting on pro-democracy protests in Belarus, drawing international condemnation. Poczobut was later awarded the Sakharov Prize, the European Union’s top human rights honor. POLISH CONSERVATIVE KAROL NAWROCKI WINS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION TO SUCCEED DUDA Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski described Poczobut as both a symbol of the fight for freedom in Belarus and an example of Poland’s commitment to securing the return of its citizens. The exchange was part of a broader series of prisoner releases negotiated with U.S. involvement, reflecting a recent thaw in relations between Washington and Minsk under Trump. A spokesperson for Poland’s Foreign Ministry said the deal involved a multi-country arrangement, with three individuals transferred from Belarus to Poland in exchange for three sent in the opposite direction, alongside others released through separate agreements. AMERICAN AMONG 3 DETAINEES RELEASED FROM BELARUS Those freed included Grzegorz Gawel, a Roman Catholic friar from the Carmelite order in Krakow, as well as a Belarusian national who had worked with Polish intelligence services, according to Polish officials, who did not publicly identify the individual. Earlier this year, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko authorized the release of 250 political prisoners under an agreement with Washington that led to a partial easing of U.S. sanctions. Belarus, a longtime ally of Russia, has remained largely isolated from the West for years. Lukashenko, who has been in power for more than three decades, has faced repeated sanctions over human rights abuses and for allowing Russian forces to use Belarusian territory during the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

In Coronado, a beach community near San Diego, county officials have issued advisories urging visitors to avoid water contact. Warning signs along the shoreline caution that exposure could lead to illness as polluted runoff enters the Pacific Ocean. The issue is largely linked to the Tijuana River, which carries untreated wastewater from Mexico into U.S. waters. Ocean currents then push the contamination north along the coastline. MULTIPLE BEACHES DEEMED UNSAFE AS OFFICIALS ISSUE URGENT HEALTH WARNINGS TO PUBLIC Officials say the scale of the problem is significant. As much as 30 million gallons of sewage-contaminated water can flow into the Pacific Ocean daily from Tijuana, polluting beaches along the Southern California coast, according to The Wall Street Journal. Even high-end beachfront properties have been affected. Waters near the historic Hotel del Coronado have faced closures due to unsafe conditions, the outlet noted. Sewage pollution from the Tijuana River has been linked to respiratory problems and other illnesses in nearby communities. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER Hydrogen sulfide, a gas commonly associated with sewage, can irritate the eyes and respiratory system and in higher concentrations may cause more serious health effects, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Exposure to contaminated water can lead to gastrointestinal illness, while airborne toxins have been linked to headaches and breathing problems. Doctors and community advocates say children have been especially impacted, with some reporting increased asthma symptoms, skin rashes and other health issues tied to the pollution, California publication CalMatters reported. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE STORIES Residents have also raised concerns about persistent odors along the coastline. "There’s a really unpleasant sewage odor outside that drifts into my apartment," one user wrote on Reddit. "This has been happening for months with no improvement." "It's nasty," another user added. "This has been going on for too long." TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ Fox News Digital previously reported that the sewage issue has drawn attention at the federal level, with officials warning of broader impacts on public health and national security. President Donald Trump has called on Mexico to address the flow of untreated wastewater entering the United States, describing it as a threat to nearby communities. Local leaders have said the contamination has affected tourism and even military operations, including Navy SEAL training at Naval Amphibious Base Coronado.

With the league set to adjust the Draft Lottery to address Adam Silver’s tanking concerns, the Wizards picked the perfect time to bottom out. And if this is the end of the traditional race to the basement, the worst finally got first. The Washington Wizards, the NBA’s most pitiful team this past season at 17-65, won the NBA Draft Lottery on Sunday, nabbing the prized pick with a 14% chance. Washington leaned into the skid and was rewarded with the right to draft the best collegiate name, which we all know is AJ Dybantsa, of course ... WARRIORS' DRAYMOND GREEN FLOATS NBA TANKING FIX, SAYS PLAY-IN TOURNAMENT 'AIN'T WORKING' Throw in Darryn Peterson or Cameron Boozer for potential No. 1 overall picks. Dybantsa, the BYU wing, is the undisputed prize of the class — a scoring machine who led the nation with 25.5 points per game. Washington’s tank job in 2025-26 worked, and their core for the future is looking at least respectable with Anthony Davis and Trae Young in tow. MAVERICKS SEND ANTHONY DAVIS TO WIZARDS IN EIGHT-PLAYER TRADE: REPORT The same cannot be said for the Brooklyn Nets. Despite finishing with a dismal 20-62 record and sharing the league-best lottery odds, the ping-pong balls offered no mercy. The Nets slid to the No. 6 pick, falling out of the elite tier, though this draft has been praised for its depth, with names like Yaxel Lendeborg and Karim Lopez offering real value beyond the top tier. NETS FIRST-ROUND PICK DANNY WOLF POLITELY CORRECTS MOM IN TV INTERVIEW AFTER HARMLESS FLUB Brooklyn burned a year of its fans’ lives only to watch the Utah Jazz and Memphis Grizzlies jump them in the draft order. Brooklyn is left picking through the best of the rest in a draft where the drop-off after the top four still feels like a cliff. The Jazz — one of the teams recently fined by the league for tanking during the regular season — still managed to get a decent outcome after the NBA tried to police the tanking process. But perhaps the night’s most brutal result belongs to the Indiana Pacers, who effectively traded the No. 5 overall pick to the Clippers (owners of the fifth pick) for Ivica Zubac. Because they fell just one spot outside their top-four protection, the pick transfers to the Clips, which is a real catastrophic swing of fortune. The Pacers entered the night with the same odds as the Wizards, only to walk away with nothing to show for their 63-loss campaign, which is a particularly cruel outcome for a team that, like Utah, had already been fined this season amid the league’s crackdown on tanking. Pacers fans on social media were left in shambles. SOCIAL MEDIA RIPS PACERS STAR TYRESE HALIBURTON FOR SKIPPING MEDIA AFTER BAD PLAYOFF GAME "Indiana tanked for nothing, should’ve done what the Celtics did and understood your team better," one NBA fan swore on X. Another said, "The Devil is collecting his debt from the pacers there’s no way ts [this s**t] just happened to them." Conspiracies about who could land the No. 1 pick ranged from the NBA rewarding host city Chicago to fears that the Thunder would further load an already stacked roster using the Clippers’ pick. Instead, the Clippers walk away with the heist of the century via Indiana, while the Wizards become the last beneficiaries of a dying system.

Clark and the Fever were unable to defeat the Dallas Wings in a 107-104 loss to start the 2026 WNBA season. But Clark, who had 20 points, seven assists and five rebounds despite the loss, wasn’t going to let an opportunity to walk out with the famous country music star during his signature start to his shows go by the wayside. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM The Lucas Oil Stadium crowd roared for Clark, who came into frame with Wallen as they walked through the bowels of the arena. As Barstool Sports posted the clip on X, social media users jumped into the comments to share their feelings about seeing Clark, who had to go back to the locker room during the season debut to get here "back adjusted," though she played 31 minutes, with Wallen. CAITLIN CLARK MISSES GAME-TYING 3 IN FINAL SECONDS DURING COLD SHOOTING PERFORMANCE IN RETURN FROM INJURY "I’m sorry.. you didn’t get back on defense and [Wings star] Paige [Bueckers] drops 20 on you. Plus you miss a 3 at the end and take an L. Do better," an X user wrote. Clark had a potential game-tying three-point opportunity with seven seconds left in the game, but she missed it. Others had issues with Clark being with Wallen at all, as he created controversy after being recorded saying a racial slur while on camera in 2021. "She walks out with a racist? Not a good look," another X user wrote. But it wasn’t all critical responses in the comments, as one user called Clark and Wallen "Two GOATS." Even Fever teammate Sophie Cunningham loved seeing Clark out at the concert, calling her a "bada—b----" on her Instagram Story. While Clark and the Fever are certainly hoping to get on the winning side of things more in 2026, fans have to be happy that Clark was playing a team-high in minutes after dealing with numerous injuries that limited her to just 13 games in 2025. "It gets out of line pretty quickly," Clark said about her back after the loss, per the New York Post. "So just that, just getting my back put back in place a little bit. But other than that, feel great." The Fever are back in action on Wednesday on the West Coast, as they take on the Los Angeles Sparks.

"I think Republicans should be taking copious notes because he's literally – you just got to embrace common sense and be normal," Moynihan said during the segment while defending Pratt’s growing online popularity and criticism of city leadership. Moynihan argued Pratt was resonating with voters by speaking bluntly about issues facing Los Angeles. LA MAYORAL CANDIDATE SPENCER PRATT VOWS ‘ZERO ENCAMPMENTS’ OF HOMELESS, NO FENTANYL ON STREETS "And he is calling out the fact that leftists in LA seem to be fine with letting people shoot up in front of schools," Moynihan said. "They're fine with dogs getting injected with fentanyl. They're doing nothing." Moynihan said Pratt’s messaging connected because it focused on issues she argued many voters already agree on. "And he's calling out some very obvious things that the vast majority of Americans can agree on," Moynihan said. "And he's going viral because of it. People want common sense." SPENCER PRATT AND HEIDI MONTAG’S HOLLYWOOD JOURNEY FROM TABLOID FAME TO LA MAYORAL RACE McGowan pushed back immediately, saying Pratt's comments and political aspirations reflected celebrity culture rather than practical governance. "Is this common sense for real?" McGowan said. "Like, as an LA voter, as someone that will vote for mayor in Los Angeles, I'm telling you, this is the opposite of common sense. This is so embarrassing." McGowan criticized Pratt’s background in entertainment and the influencer culture, arguing it did not qualify him to run a major American city. SPENCER PRATT IS STANDOUT LA MAYORAL CANDIDATE IN DEBUT DEBATE PERFORMANCE: '10/10 NO NOTES' "I am so exhausted of being surrounded by this level of idiocy," McGowan said. "This guy is not practical. This man's plan was to live off his reality fame." McGowan also questioned Pratt's campaign-style promises on homelessness, corruption and "renters' rights." "He says he's going to end corruption. How?" McGowan said. "He says he's going to have no more homeless. How? He says he's going to have renters' rights. How?"

Marchers made clear their anger towards the inaction of the British government. Thousands rallied in London Sunday, alarmed by the massive increase in violent attacks against the country's Jewish population. Marchers made clear their anger toward the British government's inaction. Speaking a few days before the rally, U.K. Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch told Fox News Digital, "Zero tolerance for antisemitism means treating this epidemic of violence as a genuine national emergency." Badenoch has called for stronger enforcement, including deporting foreign preachers who are spreading hate in mosques and other institutions. "Antisemites will not be welcomed or tolerated. Britain has been a haven for Jews for centuries. It must remain so." Her warning comes as the United Kingdom raised its national terrorism threat level to "severe," the second-highest classification, meaning an attack is considered highly likely. The move reflects what security officials describe as a worsening threat environment amid a spike in antisemitic incidents, arson attacks and targeted violence. EVEN BEFORE GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL HATE CHANTS, UK JEWS WARNED OF ALARMING RISE IN ANTISEMITISM "There’s an unholy alliance of the hard Left and Islamist extremists behind some of the spread of antisemitism," Badenoch warned. "What do people think chants such as ‘from the river to the sea’ or ‘globalize the intifada’ mean if they do not mean the erasure of the world’s only Jewish state and violence against Jews everywhere?" British security officials have long noted that Islamist extremism remains one of the United Kingdom’s primary terror threats, with MI5 warning that radicalization networks and extremist ideology continue to pose serious risks. Jewish leaders and analysts say expressions of support for terrorist groups such as Hamas, combined with public glorification of violence, have contributed to an environment in which anti-Jewish hostility is becoming increasingly normalized. Despite mounting criticism over Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s handling of antisemitism as incidents continue to reach new highs across the U.K., Starmer, speaking at the No10 Tackling Antisemitism Forum last week, said: "Our Jewish communities [are] feeling frightened, angry and asking whether this country, their home, is safe for them."  He added: "In recent months, as antisemitic incidents have risen, we have acted decisively to strengthen the safety of Jewish communities," announcing an additional £25 million in funding for increased patrols and enhanced security to prevent serious harm before it occurs." Despite those assurances, critics say the response is still falling short, warning that Jewish communities remain exposed and the situation is continuing to escalate. Jonathan Sacerdoti, a London-based commentator and writer, told Fox News Digital that authorities have demonstrated the ability to deploy large scale policing when necessary, but many Jewish residents are questioning whether that same urgency is being applied to protecting them. "Considering they’re able to police massive anti-Israel protests every two weeks for the last two and a half years," Sacerdoti said, "they ought to be able to do the same to protect Jews." He added that security funding alone cannot solve what he sees as a deeper problem. ANTISEMITISM IS BECOMING 'NORMAL,' WITH JEWISH TEENS PAYING THE PRICE "Jews should not need a volunteer security organization," he said. "The state should protect us itself." For many Jewish families across the United Kingdom, the impact is no longer abstract. It is being felt in everyday life. Rabbi Albert Chait, senior rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregation in Leeds, said one of the most troubling signs is how normalized constant security has become for Jewish children. "You know what the worst thing is, in my opinion?" Chait said. "The fact that my children do not ask why there is police outside their school. They do not question why there is paid security on the gate and on the street. They do not even question it because that is just normal day to day activity." ANTISEMITIC VIOLENCE ESCALATES AS DEADLY WEAPON ATTACKS SURGE IN 2025: REPORT According to the Community Security Trust, antisemitic incidents in Britain reached approximately 3,700 in 2025, among the highest totals on record, prompting increased funding for security at synagogues, schools and Jewish institutions. As Britain confronts what many are increasingly describing as a national crisis, similar warning signs are becoming more visible in the United States. This past week in Queens, New York, multiple Jewish homes, a synagogue and a Jewish community center housing a preschool were vandalized with swastikas and antisemitic graffiti, raising alarm among residents. From swastikas scrawled in school bathrooms and subway stations to antisemitic graffiti targeting synagogues and Jewish institutions, symbols of hate are appearing with growing visibility in everyday American life. "One of the sites houses a pre-K program, where young children, their families and staff were greeted with swastikas and other hateful vandalism," Mark Treyger, CEO of the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York told Jewish Insider. "This is not normal, and we need city leaders to act now." For many observers, the parallels are difficult to ignore. What Britain is experiencing, rising antisemitic violence, normalized hostility, and ongoing debates over ideology and enforcement, is no longer confined overseas. It is increasingly being reflected in American communities. And as the crisis unfolds, Badenoch’s warning carries implications far beyond the United Kingdom. "I have never seen the level of racism, discrimination, intimidation and attacks that have been directed at the Jewish community," she said. "If other minority communities were facing similar levels of violence, there would be a national emergency."

Unfortunately, those plans never materialized. She and her husband, Kevin Kesar, also known as Killer Kross,, were initially released by the wrestling organization in 2021. They returned the following year for a three-year run that eventually came to an end in August 2025. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! During an interview with retired pro wrestler D-Von Dudley, the couple discussed their time in the WWE and the release of wrestlers, which is fairly routine in the business. Scarlett revealed that, after making a name for herself in the lower ranks and putting up huge numbers online in other organizations, she had plans to bring the sexy back to wrestling while in the WWE. For whatever reason, even the best of intentions and most noble of goals fall short sometimes. That's what ended up playing out. She was never given the opportunity to reach those goals. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK CULTURE COVERAGE Without the opportunity, her dreams never became a reality. She blames the company's direction for putting a stop to it and holding the sexy back. All she wanted was to throw it back to a simpler time in wrestling when asses were out and there were bra and panties matches. "I think they were pushing the women’s revolution in the way they were, and my character was the exact opposite of that. It was a throwback. It was a parody of bringing sexy back to wrestling. Because all the girls are trying to be serious," Scarlett said. "I’m like, ‘No, no. Let’s just be a hot chick. Like, bring back bra and panties matches.’ No one was doing that at the time. No one had their asses out. It pissed a lot of people off, including women in the business. But it’s funny, because now, look where we are… it was a great heel character." The WWE missed out when the organization decided not to run with it. They, as D-Von Dudley rightfully said, "dropped the ball." They signed Scarlett Bordeaux for her character, but inexplicably didn’t want to use it. That's going be a tough realization for some wrestling fans to come to terms with.

Randi Mahomes took to social media to show how "grateful" she was for her daughter-in-law, Brittany Mahomes, and her late mother, Debbie Martin, as well. "Happy Mothers Day to these two amazing!" Randi wrote in her photo caption. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Randi’s first photo was one with her mother, who was sporting her grandson’s No. 15 Chiefs jersey. She passed away in 2023. "I’m missing my mom a little extra today. Her love shaped the way I loved my own family, and I’m forever grateful for everything she poured into me." PATRICK MAHOMES NEARLY QUIT FOOTBALL IN HIGH SCHOOL, MOTHER SAYS As the photo carousel continued, Randi showed love to Brittany, Patrick’s wife and mother of their three children. "Brittany, you are such an incredible mother," Randi continued. "The love, patience, and joy you pour into your babies every day is so special to watch, and I’m so proud of you. Being a mom and now a Grandi is the greatest blessing. "Hug your mamas a little tighter today." PATRICK MAHOMES DISCUSSES WHY HE GOT VIRAL HAIRCUT, REFLECTS BACK ON NFL DRAFT EXPERIENCE Randi, Brittany and the rest of the Mahomes familyrest of the Mahomes family, including father, Patrick Mahomes Sr. and brother Jackson Mahomes, are regulars at Chiefs games during the season to watch the two-time NFL MVP go to work on game day. But Randi said that there was a time her son thought about not playing football any longer. It was up to mom to shed any doubt. "There were times when he would get a little down, even a moment in high school when he wanted to quit football. Yes, he did," Randi Mahomes said during an Instagram Q&A in April 2025. "And I encouraged him that sitting out a season of sports and watching the games, it was not going to be fun for him. And so, he stuck to it, fortunately." Patrick was quite the baseball player like his father, who enjoyed an 11-year career in Major League Baseball. But he was also a two-year starter at quarterback during his time starring at Whitehorse High School in East Texas, where he also met his future wife, Brittany. As Patrick continued his football career at Texas Tech, he ultimately became the Chiefs’ first-round draft choice in 2017, all while his family supported him along the way.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, career firefighter Jason Cerrano, based in St. Louis, Missouri, shared just how understaffed the industry is. According to data from IDEX Fire and Safety, where Cerrano is a director for research and development, there has been a "huge shift" in the fire service. FIREFIGHTER CREDITS 'STRICT' HOME ROUTINE, MEDICAL TESTS TO STAY ALIVE WELL PAST RETIREMENT When Cerrano started in 1999, departments were "pretty loaded up," sometimes to the point where there weren’t volunteer positions available. There was also a "huge influx" following 9/11, he said. Although the fire service has "always been amazing" at community outreach through efforts like fire prevention programs, Cerrano suggested that recruiting is one thing departments never had to do. Over the last two decades, departments have seen a "steady decline" in volunteers, down from about 900,000 to 700,000, according to Cerrano. Meanwhile, career firefighting (full-time, paid fire departments) has only seen about 30,000 to 40,000 more jobs added in those two decades. Over that same period, call volumes have tripled. Fewer firefighters on the ground automatically increases the risk when responding to a fire, according to Cerrano. "The fire ground is random; things happen, whether it's a fire or a car accident or something else – it's an unstable environment, or we wouldn't be there," he said. FIRE DEPARTMENTS TURN TO AI TO DETECT WILDFIRES FASTER "Every time … there's something you can’t imagine that throws a wrench in it, so the more people you have who can evaluate those things and see something coming at you from the side, that's the most important thing." The fire service has already made internal improvements to ensure the health of firefighters, including calmer wake-ups, initiatives to keep gear clean, and increased awareness around cancer prevention and environmental risk factors, Cerrano noted. "The fire service is at risk in so many different ways, and people need to understand that the more people out there, the safer," he said, emphasizing the need for technology that can help firefighters do their jobs in a "steady, consistent manner." Most people consider career departments (full-time firefighting) as a steadier job, but any kind of firefighting is a "good career" with "good benefits," according to Cerrano. Especially with Gen Z entering the workforce, this younger generation of workers is looking for more in return from their day-to-day jobs than previous employees, he noted. "The fire service, if you think about it culturally, you were lucky to be there," the firefighter told Fox News Digital. "The more experienced people treated you that way … You can't just come into the fire services and be a hero day one. [You] have to be treated like rookies." "Sometimes that feels like you're being kept down," he went on. "We just have to remember when these new recruits are coming in, we have to make sure they always feel like they have purpose, or that generation will leave. And frankly, I wouldn't blame them for it." While the fire service is "great at being traditional," Cerrano suggested that it could "step up" its involvement with emerging technology, as branches of the military have. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER "We need to celebrate our tradition and use it in our work habits and our environments around the engine houses," he said. "But I think when it comes to our tools and the way we do things, we have to start moving forward if we're going to bring in those new recruits and retain them." While potential new firefighters do need to be qualified for the job, it doesn’t require being a "straight A student" to get through the training and education, according to Cerrano. It does, however, require a willingness to get dirty, wake up in the middle of the night and handle yourself in emotional circumstances, he said. "A lot of people don't want to go out and take risks or be in situations that can sometimes be hard to deal with," he said. "But that risk versus reward, or that risk versus the emotional toll that it can take, gives you a really big sense of purpose, because you spend your whole life helping people." Cerrano pointed out that many volunteer firefighters don’t see the "fire ground," instead fulfilling crucial tasks at the fire house. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ "You can do a lot in your community without having to go in and take all the risks," he added. "It’s important that, as a country, we're helping this volunteer fire service get it figured out. It’s a huge issue for everybody from a safety standpoint."

"Our recommendations are we're considering everyone on board, the crew and the passengers as high-risk contacts because there are current investigations that are really trying to understand what types of exposures each of them had," said Maria Van Kerkhove, acting director of the Department of Epidemic and Pandemic Threat Management at WHO. "Because there's so much uncertainty at the moment, we've recommended that everybody be considered a high-risk contact." Kerkhove told Fox News' Jacqui Heinrich during "The Sunday Briefing" that the organization is requiring a "multi-country response" to the ordeal in an effort to prevent further spread. COULD HANTAVIRUS SPREAD ON A CRUISE SHIP? EXPERTS WEIGH RISKS AFTER DEADLY OUTBREAK The concerted effort comes amid concerns over the Andes strain of the hantavirus after passengers aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship contracted the rodent-borne disease and grew ill. The ship arrived early Sunday off the Spanish island of Tenerife, where passengers began to disembark and fly to their home countries. According to Reuters, Spanish officials said passengers are being tested by local health authorities to ensure they are asymptomatic before being transported ashore in small boats. CDC SPELLS OUT NEXT STEPS AFTER AMERICANS EXPOSED TO HANTAVIRUS ON CRUISE SHIP Spanish health authorities confirmed that the first plane carrying the Spanish passengers has departed for a military hospital in Madrid, where they will remain under quarantine. American MV Hondius passengers will be flown to a medical center in Nebraska after being allowed to disembark, per prior reporting. Kerkhove said WHO's recommendation is that a 42-day active follow-up period succeed passengers' return to their respective home countries. "This would include health checks by authorities and either be quarantined at home or quarantined in a medical facility," she explained. A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) official told ABC News on Saturday morning that federal officials currently do not plan to mandate quarantine when the American passengers arrive in Nebraska. They will instead be screened upon arrival in the U.S. and either stay briefly at Nebraska’s National Quarantine Unit or return home to monitor for symptoms for 42 days while staying in contact with local health authorities, the official said.

The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office said Saturday that detectives wrapped up their search at a home on East Branch Street in Arroyo Grande, which is linked to the 1996 disappearance of Smart. "We did not recover Kristin Smart," the sheriff’s office said in a statement. "Detectives will be evaluating any evidence we have recovered to aid in the investigation. The Sheriff’s Office remains fully committed to finding Kristin and bringing her home to her family." Officials also said no additional updates will be provided at this time. FOX NEWS TRUE CRIME NEWSLETTER: TYLER ROBINSON RULINGS, NANCY GUTHRIE THEORY, KRISTIN SMART HUNT The development comes after authorities revealed earlier in the week that investigators had uncovered evidence suggesting possible human remains at the property, which is associated with Paul Flores’ mother, Susan Flores. San Luis Obispo County Sheriff Ian Parkinson said during a news conference Friday that soil testing indicated compounds consistent with a decomposing human body. "We believe that… human remains were there at one time, or still there," Parkinson said. "We think there’s evidence to support human remains." HUMAN REMAINS FOUND IN SUBMERGED CAR BELIEVED TO BELONG TO FLORIDA MOTHER WHO VANISHED 22 YEARS AGO "I’m not going to go into the details, other than just to say with soil tests, it’s about the compounds in the soil that are related to a human, decomposing body," he added. The renewed search effort marked the latest development in the nearly three-decade-old case that has gripped California’s Central Coast. Kristin Smart was a 19-year-old student at California Polytechnic State University when she disappeared in May 1996 after attending an off-campus party. Prosecutors later said Paul Flores killed her during an attempted rape in his dorm room. PARENTS’ RELENTLESS HUNT FOR MISSING DAUGHTER HEATS UP AS NEW TECH BREATHES LIFE INTO CASE Paul Flores, now 49, was convicted of first-degree murder in 2022 and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison, but Smart’s body has never been found. San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Dan Dow previously said his office remains committed to locating Smart’s remains, adding that authorities will continue using every lawful tool available to bring answers to her family. Despite the latest search yielding no confirmed remains, authorities say they remain committed to finding Smart and bringing her home to her family.

Like most young fans who pulled for that Cincinnati Reds team, Pete Rose became a hero for the young Meyer, and one he managed to meet later on in his life. During a recent appearance on the "Triple Option" podcast, Meyer addressed the ongoing gambling saga involving Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby. As is often the case, when a conversation turns to athletes and gambling, Rose's name is brought up, which is exactly what unfolded in this instance. BRENDAN SORSBY AT CROSSROADS: NCAA GAMBLING PROBE COULD END TEXAS TECH QB'S COLLEGE CAREER As Meyer explained, shortly after he was hired to be the head football coach at Ohio State ahead of the 2012 season, he met Rose at a Reds contest. The two also exchanged numbers, and the MLB legend wasn't exactly shy in reaching out. "I was a huge Pete Rose fan, still am, we lost him several months ago, but he became a friend of mine. When I got hired at Ohio State, (the Reds) asked me to come down and throw out the first pitch … when I walked in the clubhouse, there was Pete Rose," Meyer explained. "So we sat and talked for a couple of hours, exchanged phone numbers. I couldn’t get enough talking about the Big Red Machine, and he wanted to talk college football. And I (was) pretty naïve about the gambling thing, I’ve never really gambled in my life," Meyer continued. "During the season, my first year in 2012, every once in a while I’d get a text … ‘Hey man, how’s the team look? How’s Illinois look? How’s Braxton Miller’s shoulder?’ or something like that. And I’d text him back, ‘Yeah, we’re doing fine.' ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Meyer didn't think anything of it, that is, until a person he explained the situation to painted a clear picture of what appeared to be going on. "I told that to someone, they said, ‘You’re an idiot. You know he’s trying to get information from you for gambling (purposes), and you could get in trouble,’" Meyer continued. "I never gave much, but from that point forward, (if Rose texted) ‘How’s Braxton’s shoulder?’ I’d say, ‘How are the Reds doing?’ and just kind of moved on." Rose, who passed away in September 2024, was banned from baseball after being accused of gambling on the Reds team he played for and managed in the late 1980s. After also being made permanently ineligible to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991, Rose was posthumously reinstated and became eligible for the Hall just months after his death.

Judge is understated, rarely "flashy," and has been the best hitter in baseball for so long that it feels boring or predictable to say so.  But that shouldn’t take away from what he’s done in his career, and what he continues to do through the early portion of the 2026 regular season. Once again, Judge is on pace to make history, just a few years after breaking the American League single-season home run record.  First, some context for how good Judge is as a hitter. From 2021-2025, Judge has hit 250 home runs with 540 runs batted in, 513 runs scored, and incredibly, 48 stolen bases. That’s despite missing 56 games in 2023 with an injury suffered after running into a wall at Dodger Stadium. Collectively, he’s hit .306/.426/.649, a 1.075 OPS. He’s averaged 55 home runs per season. And again, that includes 2023 where he hit 37 in 106 games. AARON JUDGE, SHOHEI OHTANI NAMED UNANIMOUS MVPS AFTER HISTORIC SEASONS Using more advanced statistics, like weighted on-base average, a statistic that gives more credit for outcomes like home runs, he leads baseball by a wide, wide margin. Judge’s wOBA from 2021-2025 is .443. Shohei Ohtani, in second place, has a .409 wOBA. For context, not one of Mike Trout, Bryce Harper, Ronald Acuna Jr., or Vladimir Guerrero Jr. are over .388 in that time frame.  By weighted runs created plus, a comprehensive offensive league- and park-adjusted statistic where 100 is league average, Judge dominates there too. His cumulative wRC+ from 2021-2025 is a whopping 193, meaning he’s been 93% better than a league-average hitter. Ohtani is once again second at 165. Juan Soto, the highest-paid player in baseball, is 160.  For his entire career thus far, Judge’s wRC+ is 178, the third highest in MLB history behind Babe Ruth and Ted Williams. And yes, even ahead of Barry Bonds. That’s pretty darn good company. And in 2026, even after turning 34, he’s somehow at it again. YANKEES' AARON JUDGE JOINS EXCLUSIVE CLUB WITH BABE RUTH AFTER HISTORIC NIGHT AGAINST WHITE SOX In 2022, Judge hit 62 home runs, setting a new AL single-season record. In 2026, he’s already hit 15 through 40 team games. Over a 162-game season, that puts him on pace to hit … 61 homers. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! The only two players to hit 60 or more homers multiple times in a career are Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa, both of whom were linked to performance-enhancing drugs. Even the great Babe Ruth hit 60 or more just once. Should Judge reach that figure this year, he’d become the first player, ever, to hit 60 home runs in more than one season without a PED association. There’s a long way to go, and injuries or a slump could derail the pursuit. But what we’re seeing with Judge is not a typical "best hitter in baseball" run. He’s making a case to be one of the best two or three hitters in baseball history. And he’s doing it in an era where pitching is better than it’s ever been. The average fastball velocity in MLB this year is up to 94.6 mph. When the league moved into the Statcast era of pitch tracking, average fastball velocity was 93.1 mph. Pitchers are throwing harder than they ever have, and thanks to new measurements and understanding of pitch shapes, spin rates, and tunneling effects, it’s harder to hit than it’s ever been. Judge is still putting up historically good numbers.  It’s easy to be numb to just how good Aaron Judge is. Particularly with the regional aspect of baseball fandom, if you only see him play a handful of times per year. But he’s on track to make even more history in 2026, and somehow, despite playing for the Yankees, he remains wildly underappreciated.

Buckley opened as a +150 underdog and was bet up to a -220 favorite, setting off alarms among bookmakers and the UFC itself. Dana White has recently pulled fights for "betting irregularities," so this is something the promotion monitors. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Dave Mason from BetOnline, a popular offshore sportsbook, cited "abnormal betting patterns from highly motivated accounts" in a post on X and announced that props were closed and limits were low for Brady vs. Buckley.  My initial thoughts when I saw this post were, "Uh oh. Another sports betting scandal. Great." When a fighter goes from a clear underdog to a sizable favorite, either someone knows something, or the fighter is "taking a dive."  ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Typically, it’s the former. Meaning, a fighter got hurt during training camp, someone from his team leaked the information and wiseguys bet his opponent. That’s where the UFC’s minds first went when it saw this crazy line movement. According to ESPN’s David Payne Purdum, "Brady told (Sportsbet’s) Aaron Bronsteter that the UFC contacted him to see if he was hurt," which obviously, he wasn’t. Because, man, did Brady pummel Buckley.  Brady won a unanimous decision and props to Buckley for even going the distance. Brady had all four takedowns in the fight and he outlanded Buckley 245-21 in total strikes and 77-4 in "significant" strikes.  So, as it turned out, the money was wrong. This is a good reminder that steam is not always the truth. Sometimes sports are random and betting on this stuff is hard as hell.  _____________________________ Follow me on X @Geoffery-Clark, and check out my OutKick Bets Podcast for more betting content and random rants. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a00dccea200899a00e96493 JONATHAN TURLEY: Angry Left plots to purge Virginia's te 2026-05-10T19:30:22.886Z JONATHAN TURLEY: Angry Left plots to purge Virginia's After the Virginia Supreme Court rejected the results of the recent Democratic effort to effectively wipe out Republican representation in the state, Democratic pundits and activists have latched onto a proposal by Michigan State Law Professor Quinn Yeargain to gut the court by forcing the retirement of the current justices, appointing liberal activists, and then reversing the opinion. It is extremely telling that some are pushing the raw muscle play to retake power in Washington, particularly in light of the calls to pack the United States Supreme Court once the party is back in control. Professor Yeargain declared on Substack that there is "a simple – and lawful – solution: Send the entire court into early retirement." Under this plan, Virginia Democrats would adopt an absurdly low age for retirement in a gut-and-pack scheme: Yeargain suggested that they could set "the mandatory retirement of justices and judges after they reach a prescribed age, beyond which they shall not serve, regardless of the term to which elected or appointed." The current retirement age is 73. Yeargain dismisses that number as "arbitrary" and says that the Democrats need only to "Make it 54 for Supreme Court justices – the age of the youngest justice, Stephen McCullough, who joined the majority opinion – and make it take effect immediately." MORNING GLORY: END THE FILIBUSTER, PACK THE COURT, KISS THE CONSTITUTION GOODBYE The fact that such an abusive plan is described as "simple" captured the logic of an age of rage. I recently wrote a column in which I warned that "the reversal of fortunes for the party could lead to an even more dangerous agenda" with Democrats pushing for packing the Supreme Court. In the unlikely chance that this could pass the General Assembly (I am assuming that there remain some things that certain Democratic members just will not do), it would be difficult to engineer before the midterm elections, given the likely challenges. However, it is the inclination of some to try such measures that is chilling. I noted that Virginia showed how "an independent court can unravel the best-laid plans." Various politicians and professors have advocated radical changes to the political system to ensure the party retains power indefinitely. They acknowledge, however, that the Court could likely declare these moves as unconstitutional unless they first take control through a packing scheme. OUTSPENT BUT NOT OUTGUNNED, REPUBLICANS AIM TO SINK DEMOCRATS' 'POWER GRAB' REDISTRICTING PUSH The new proposal for the gut-and-pack scheme is even more cynical and brutal. Ironically, the Virginia Supreme Court declared the redistricting effort by the Democrats as not only unconstitutional but "wholly unprecedented in Virginia’s history." It characterized the state’s position as "a story of the tail wagging the dog that has no tail." The response of Yeargain and Democratic activists is now to suggest just shooting the dog and adopting a type of politically modified puppy bred to serve. SOCIAL MEDIA ERUPTS AFTER DEMOCRATS 'BURNED $64M' ON FAILED VIRGINIA GERRYMANDER Such radical proposals are being rationalized with open disinformation. Pundits regularly fail to mention that the Democrats previously gerrymandered states such as Illinois, Massachusetts and New York while claiming the right to win by any means necessary. Others just deny reality. Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., lashed out at the Virginia Supreme Court and demanded to know why they waited so long to rule on whether there were fundamental flaws in the Democratic plan. Kaine either never read the opinion or sought to mislead voters. The opinion has an entire section on the timing, noting that it was the Democrats and the Commonwealth that demanded that the Court wait to rule on the merits until after the election. After "successfully" seeking that delay, they are now accusing the Court of something untoward in doing what they demanded. SPANBERGER DENIES ‘DEAL’ WITH SWING-DISTRICT DEMOCRAT AS GERRYMANDERING CLAIMS ABOUND STATEWIDE Notably, the gut-and-pack scheme sets aside any pretense of principle. The Democrats would simply adopt a ridiculously low retirement age for the sole purpose of populating the court with reliable and robotic justices. The fact that an academic and various pundits would expressly float such an idea is another chilling reminder of the growing radicalization on the left. These are the "new Jacobins" discussed in my book Rage and the Republic, figures echoing the radical concepts or means used in France before what became known as "The Terror." "By any means" has become a rallying cry on the left. Law professors Ryan Doerfler of Harvard and Samuel Moyn of Yale have called for the nation to "reclaim America from constitutionalism." Last December, they published a column titled "It’s Time to Accept that the U.S. Supreme Court is Illegitimate and Must be Replaced." SPANBERGER-BACKED REDISTRICTING VOTE CULMINATES DEM ‘POWER GRAB’ IN KEY SWING STATE, SAYS REPORT Democratic strategists know that the public will not approve of such measures. Democratic strategist James Carville stated matter-of-factly, "They’re going to recommend that the number of Supreme Court justices go from nine to 13. That’s going to happen, people." He added recently, "Don’t run on it. Don’t talk about it. Just do it." What is striking about the Virginia proposal is that it is being pushed so openly and unapologetically. Democrats realize that they have alienated half of Virginia already. Republicans and independents are not likely to forget that every major Democrat in their state, including Gov. Abigail Spanberger, sought to erase their very political existence. It is not partisan, it is personal. In destroying bridges to cross-over voters in the purple state, what is left is raw political brutality. You must dump-and-pump in seeking radical measures to grab power.

John Fetterman, D-Pa., said Democrats alienated young male voters by increasingly portraying men as "part of the problem" during a wide-ranging discussion with Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, and Donna Brazile about masculinity, parenting and the Democratic Party's struggles with working-class men. "Well, without a doubt, though you know there's part of the Democratic Party became more and more anti-men or describing that they were part of the problem, or they have toxic traits," Fetterman said during the discussion on "Real Time with Bill Maher." "And that's why there's been such a big, big migration away from the Democratic Party from young men, and that's that's really why, one of the parts why we lost in 2024." The conversation began after host Bill Maher asked Fetterman about a statistic showing men are nearly twice as likely as women to still live with their parents in the current economy. FETTERMAN HITS PARTY'S LOSSES AMONG YOUNG MALE VOTERS: 'IT'S UNDENIABLE THAT DEMOCRATS HAVE LOST A LOT' "We've lost the vote," Fetterman later said while discussing traditional union workers and male voters. "You talk to any of the traditional union members that are men. You know, they — we've lost them a long time ago." Fetterman argued Democrats cannot rebuild support among male voters by blaming them for broader societal problems. "Now if you identify anyone as the problem or blame them for some things, then you're going to lose," Fetterman said.  FORMER DEMOCRATIC SENATOR CALLS OUT PARTY FOR ALIENATING VOTERS BY 'HECTORING AND LECTURING' THEM Brazile acknowledged concerns about young men struggling socially and economically, but argued women historically faced many of the same barriers. "Look, I've been a part-time college professor for 33 years. There is something going on with young men in our country," Brazile said. "They are reticent, many of them are holding back, and we need to address that." "I think they don't know their place anymore and that's something that men need to decide and discuss, but as a woman for years, decades, centuries, women had to be overconfident just to appear qualified." HOW FEMINISM HIJACKED THE CONVERSATION ON MASCULINITY Brazile rejected the idea that women were responsible for young men's frustrations. "I don't want men to think that the reason why young men are suffering is because some woman," Brazile said. "Young men are dealing with what young women had to deal with centuries ago." Crenshaw argued cultural and parenting differences also contribute to the divide between political groups and attitudes toward masculinity. CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE "I'm not a fan of gentle parenting," Crenshaw said while discussing discipline and household expectations. "It seems to be more acceptable to say that in the Black community than the White community to be able to say, ‘Yes, my parents whooped me.’" Fetterman said Democrats have been losing working-class male voters for years, dating back to President Donald Trump’s rise in 2016. "I've witnessed that migration away from the Democratic Party starting back in 2016," Fetterman said. "We really have to find a way to bring them back and make better arguments without blaming them or describing they are the problem."

"President Biden, through counsel, has advised the Department that he intends to seek to intervene to prevent any such disclosures," Assistant Attorney General Civil Division Brett Shumate wrote in a filing from a Freedom of Information Act request from the Heritage Foundation's Mike Howell. "The Department does not oppose intervention." There is a Tuesday deadline for Biden's lawyers to respond to the DOJ's release for a response to Howell's FOIA request, which would come shortly after Tuesday if there was no objection. Shumate noted the release of 70 hours of redacted recordings would be delayed until June 15 if Biden objects before the deadline. BIDEN INTERVIEW AUDIO REVEALS WHO BROUGHT UP BEAU'S DEATH — AND IT WASN'T HUR "Defendant intends to disclose the written transcript and audio recordings at issue in this matter, with redactions, to Congress, pursuant to a request from the Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, as well as to Plaintiffs," the filing in Howell's FOIA lawsuit with the DOJ read. The interactions came between Biden and his ghostwriter for the 2017 book: "Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose." The audio and transcript were obtained by special counsel Robert Hur's investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents after the Obama administration ended, which included storing them in his garage and at the Penn Biden Center. "President Biden cooperated fully with special counsel Hur, and agreed to provide audiotapes of conversations with his biographer for a book about his deceased son on the condition that they would not be made public," Biden spokesperson TJ Ducklo told Politico in a statement Sunday. "The DOJ themselves have said these tapes serve no public interest. FEDERAL JUDGE BLOCKS RELEASE OF JACK SMITH REPORT'S SECOND VOLUME "What’s happening now isn’t about transparency. It’s about politics," Ducklo continued. "If this Administration were genuinely committed to transparency, they would release Volume 2 of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on Donald Trump’s own alleged mishandling of classified documents. That report contains information Americans actually deserve to see." Fox News reached out to Ducklo for independent confirmation on this report and has not yet heard back. The FOIA requester remains in pursuit of the documents. CONSERVATIVES REACT TO LEAKED BIDEN AUDIO ON SOCIAL MEDIA: 'THIS IS PAINFUL' "These tapes will further prove the massive lie regarding Biden’s fitness for office and the fact Biden revealed classified information," Howell, president of Heritage's Oversight Project, told Politico. "The shenanigans aren’t over: At the last possible second, and after every delay tactic possible, the autopen is objecting to the American People receiving transparency. " Hur concluded his investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents, noting longstanding DOJ policy of not indicting a sitting president and saying a jury would be sympathetic to the oldest sitting American president, 82, because he was a "well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory." "It appears that after lengthy negotiation covering several months — at no point seeking to intervene into this case on a timely basis — President Biden has changed position and now seeks to even enjoin release of the portions of transcripts that match exact phrases quoted in the Hur Report," Shumate's filing Friday read. GREGG JARRETT: BIDEN, THE ‘MARIONETTE PRESIDENT; AND THE CASE OF THE RUNAWAY AUTOPEN "The potential intervention by former President Biden and the new development of a discretionary release to the House Judiciary Committee in response to their March 23, 2026 letter, raises a number of issues": "As Plaintiffs understand the matter, President Biden would need an order barring release in this case and an order enjoining the Department from producing to the House Judiciary Committee all by June 15, 2026." The DOJ also accuses Biden's lawyers of slow-walking responses and rejecting deadlines. BIDEN WHITE HOUSE AIDES FACE OVERSIGHT DEADLINE AMID THREAT OF SUBPOENAS "President Biden’s lead counsel was unable to provide any information about President Biden’s submissions arguing that such discussion was somehow premature (whereas, in reality it is 16 months late) and incredibly indicating that despite the June 15, 2026 production date, the motion to intervene would not be filed until mid-next week and that President Biden would seek up to three days after a ruling granting a motion to intervene to submit a proposed schedule for substantive relief," the filing read. "That is no way to conduct litigation and smacks of kicking the can down the road to justify delaying the June 15, 2026 production by some form of administrative injunction." The DOJ issued a new warning of Tuesday's deadline, regardless. READ THE COURT FILING – APP USERS, CLICK HERE: "The public deserves to hear the tapes and read the transcripts as redacted by President Donald J. Trump’s Department of Justice," Shumate's filing concluded. "Plaintiffs regret that they are currently unable to assist the Court in this process due to the repeated failure of counsel for President Biden to engage with Plaintiffs on this matter, putting off even initial substantive conversations until next week."

Ted Lieu on the party's midterm election messaging, saying Democrats "lost" the fight over the record-setting Department of Homeland Security shutdown. "OK, so you still believe that Democrats can retake the House?" Brennan asked Lieu, who represents California's 36th Congressional District. "What is your main message?" "The American people voted in Donald Trump because they wanted lower costs and he lied to them," Lieu replied. "We have surging inflation, skyrocketing gas prices. The Trump tariffs have raised costs across many products across America. People are drowning in debt and in bills, and Democrats are going to reduce health care costs, lower costs across the board, reduce your energy costs. That's the message we're—" "How are you going to do that?" Brennan interjected. "Democrats shut down the government to have an argument over health care, and they didn't get any policy concessions, and premiums went up. You lost that fight." DEMOCRATS STRUGGLE FOR COHESIVE MESSAGING STRATEGY AMID SHUTDOWN STANDOFF Lieu responded that the House passed an extension of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits for three years and urged the Senate to also pass that legislation. Lieu added that "when we get control, we're going to reverse the massive Medicaid cuts, the Medicare cuts and the cuts to ACA that Trump and Republicans put in last year." TRUMP ENDS DHS' MONTHS-LONG NIGHTMARE THAT LEFT IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT WITHOUT FUNDING The DHS shutdown began Feb. 14.

"I will win the primary if they don't let me speak: I guarantee you that," Bangstad told WISN 12 News this week when asked about speaking at the state Democratic convention. Bangstad, the owner of Minocqua Brewing Company (MBC), launched his campaign for Wisconsin governor after drawing national scrutiny for a social media post that appeared on the brewery's Facebook page after an alleged assassination attempt against Trump at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. "Well, we almost got #freebeerday," the April 12 post read just minutes after the WHCA Dinner security event. "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. Regardless, we stand at the ready to pour free beer the day it happens." WISCONSIN DEM'S BAR LAMENTS 'WE ALMOST GOT FREE BEER DAY' FOR TRUMP ASSASSINATION The news spread so far on social media and in the news that it drew a visit from the U.S. Secret Service and the FBI days later, but Bangstad contends it was merely satirical commentary and not a dog whistle for political violence from leftist radicals like the past three Trump assassination attempts. "It was satire," he told WISN 12. "I meant it as satire. I've said that all along and it was taken out of context in order to create a feeding frenzy by the media, which it did, and allow Republicans to paint Democrats as politically violent." There has been caution from Democrats about Bangstad's rhetoric for weeks, but it has not stopped him, and he acknowledged it led to his jumping into the gubernatorial race after the federal law enforcement visit, and even has proven lucrative for fundraising, if not his brewery business. "Remember there was another half of that post that said, 'or Donald Trump is trying to fake an assassination attempt to get a better news cycle," Bangstad told WISN 12. "The first part was satire that was trying to set off the second part." WISCONSIN MOM 'SEETHING' AFTER DEMOCRATS GIVE HER 8-YEAR-OLD SON A CHILLING BRACELET CALLING FOR TRUMP'S DEATH Bangstad said he resurfaced his "free beer day" MBC business campaign because "the assassination attempt seemed staged," acknowledging it has allowed him to gain "name recognition." Bangstad pointed to his "250,000 followers on Facebook" and "170,000 subscribers to our Substack page." "Most of those people are progressives and a lot of those are progressives who live in Wisconsin, so I would think I have the best name recognition in the state of Wisconsin right now," Bangstad continued. "The Democratic Party who has a terrible approval rating across the country and in Wisconsin can say all they want to about me. I'm a true Democrat, a true progressive Democrat, and I have more name recognition than everybody in this race save for probably Mandela Barnes." DEM LAWMAKER SPARKS ONLINE OUTRAGE FOR BLAMING TRUMP'S LOW APPROVAL FOR WHCA DINNER SHOOTING If he was blocked from speaking at the June 13-14 Wisconsin Democratic convention at the Monona Terrace Convention Center in Madison, Bangstad vowed, "I'd speak anyway; I'd speak outside the front door." "And if they try to not let me speak, they're going to put me in office," Bangstad said. "Let's be honest. "If they restrict my speech as a fellow Democrat, they are going to do so much harm to their appearance, and they're going to do so much harm to other candidates, I will win the primary if they don't let me speak. I guarantee you that." Bangstad said he has not "gotten that far" on whether he will attend the Democratic convention in June. MANDELA BARNES JUMPS INTO WISCONSIN GOVERNOR RACE — BUT BAGGAGE FROM HIS 2022 SENATE BID FOLLOWS "I've got to get my 2,000 signatures by June 1 – obviously, I'm in the race really late; we've got a month to get 2,000 signatures," he said. "I will of course attend the Democratic convention, I'm a Democrat. I want to drag the Democratic Party kicking and screaming to a realistic place that's not owned by big money, and that's what I plan to do. "And I think I can get there in Wisconsin." FORMER NAVY SEAL AND 'POLITICAL OUTSIDER' ANNOUNCES GOP CAMPAIGN FOR WISCONSIN GOVERNOR The Wisconsin primary is Aug. 11, but getting the signatures and his name out there is a first priority, according to Bangstad, admitting the campaign as "raised a ton of money so far" while demurring on exactly how much. "I've got oodles of money in Facebook followers, in Substack followers, the equivalent of that in my being able to reach people and give them my message," he said. Bangstad’s small brewery has long leaned into liberal politics, selling progressive-themed merchandise and promoting itself through anti-Trump messaging and shirts reading, "I wish it was free beer day." PATTERN OF LEFTIST VIOLENCE GROWS AS TRUMP NEARS 10 MONTHS IN OFFICE The controversy escalated after the April 25 security scare at the WHCA Dinner in Washington, D.C., where authorities say Cole Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, attempted to storm a Secret Service checkpoint with a loaded shotgun and other weapons. Allen was ordered held without bail, facing life in prison for attempted assassination of the president and assaulting a federal officer with a dangerous weapon. After the brewery’s post, the FBI and Secret Service confirmed they followed up on the matter and conducted a voluntary interview with Bangstad. "The U.S. Secret Service follows up on perceived threats against the President of the United States or any one of our protectees," the agencies said in a joint statement to Fox News. "The FBI and Secret Service together followed up on information received and conducted further investigative steps, which included a voluntary interview with the individual. This is an ongoing matter and we do not have further comment." HASAN PIKER NO-SHOWS PRO-COMMUNIST EVENT OVER ALLEGED SAFETY FEARS WHILE MOCKING TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT Bangstad livestreamed part of the encounter with two suited men who questioned him about whether he knew anyone who wanted to harm Trump or supported anyone who wanted to harm the president. The brewery also posted what it said was a transcription of a voicemail from a person Bangstad identified as a Secret Service agent and urged supporters to call the number. Bangstad, a former Democrat candidate for Wisconsin’s 34th Assembly District, lost his 2020 general election bid. He also founded the Minocqua Brewing Company super PAC, which has targeted Trump and Republicans, and previously sued to keep Trump off Wisconsin’s 2024 ballot. The latest controversy also put pressure on other Wisconsin Democrats who have past ties to Bangstad. Trump-backed House candidate Michael Alfonso accused Democrats of trying to avoid the issue, pointing to Bangstad’s connections to Democrats in the state. POPULAR LEFT-WING PODCAST HOSTS PUSH CONSPIRACY THEORY THAT TRUMP STAGED ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON HIMSELF "This brewery is owned by a man named Kirk Bangstad, and he’s not just some random crazy guy," Alfonso wrote on X. "Kirk is friends with current Democratic gubernatorial frontrunner Francesca Hong. He previously employed Rebecca Cooke, the Democrat currently running against Derrick Van Orden, and was himself the Democratic nominee against my father-in-law, Sean Duffy, in Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District—where I am now running for office." Cooke’s campaign denounced political violence but did not mention Bangstad by name in its response to Fox News. "This rhetoric is dangerous and unacceptable – showcasing just how broken our political system is," Cooke said through her campaign manager. "I denounce all forms of political violence. "We need to bring the temperature down, stop pitting working folks against each other, and come together to solve the very serious problems facing our communities." DISNEY UNDER FIRE AS ABC GRAPPLES WITH ANOTHER JIMMY KIMMEL CONTROVERSY The National Republican Congressional Committee said Cooke’s response was insufficient and called on her to directly name her former employer. "Rebecca Cooke needs to stop hiding and immediately denounce her former employer, Kirk Bangstad’s dangerous and unhinged comments," NRCC spokesman Zach Bannon told Fox News. "Cooke's previous employment by Bangstad makes her silence even more unacceptable. Voters deserve to know whether she stands with Wisconsinites who reject this rhetoric or with the same extremist voices pushing it." Hong also responded in a series of X posts after Fox News Digital reached out, condemning the normalization of political violence but not naming Bangstad. When asked specifically about the brewery or owner, Hong campaign manager Becky Cooper pointed back to the posts. "That would fall under the ‘becoming numb’ portion," Cooper told Fox News, declining to denounce Bangstad by name. "MBC’s tweet is intentionally inflammatory and a symptom of the normalization of political violence." LIBERAL WISCONSIN BREWING COMPANY PROMISES 'FREE BEER, ALL DAY LONG' AFTER TRUMP DIES Wisconsin Republicans and national GOP figures have seized on the episode as evidence of overheated rhetoric on the left. "Wisconsin Democrats are so sick in the head that an attempted murder is funny to them," RNC spokeswoman Delanie Bomar told Fox News. "All Wisconsin Democrats, including Rebecca Cooke, must immediately condemn this disgusting behavior." Bangstad has also drawn scrutiny outside his anti-Trump messaging. Wisconsin Public Radio reported last year that he had been charged in a harassment case tied to a dispute with a local newspaper publisher. "We only give comments to legitimate news organizations, not state propaganda agencies," Bangstad told Fox News Digital after a request for comment about the Secret Service and FBI visit. "However, maybe one of our customers might want to respond to your question." Fox News reached out to Bangstad for further comment Sunday and has not yet heard back. Fox News has also reached out to the campaigns for Hong, Cooke and Barnes, along with the Wisconsin Democratic Party and the Democratic National Committee.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a00c7bea200899a00e960cc Chipper Jones calls Bobby Cox 'a second father' in emotional tribute after Hall of Fame manager's death te 2026-05-10T18:00:30.414Z Chipper Jones calls Bobby Cox 'a second father' in emotional tribute after Hall of Fame manager's death The death of legendary Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox hit hard across the baseball world this weekend, but nobody summed up his impact better than longtime Braves star Chipper Jones. Jones, who spent nearly his entire MLB career playing under Cox in Atlanta, shared an emotional tribute on X after learning of the Hall of Fame skipper’s death at age 84. "I can’t stay quiet in this time of loss," Jones wrote. "I’m struggling to tell all what Bobby Cox meant to me and so many others in Braves Country." CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Jones went on to call Cox "the leader of men and a second father to so many Atlanta Braves [through the years]." The two were connected for virtually Jones’ entire baseball life. Cox selected Jones with the No. 1 overall pick in the 1990 MLB Draft and managed him from his 1993 debut through the end of Cox’s managerial career in 2010. Under Cox, the Braves became one of baseball’s defining dynasties — winning 14 consecutive division titles, five National League pennants and the 1995 World Series. Jones credited Cox not only for changing the Braves franchise, but for shaping his entire career. "He’s probably the number one reason I played my entire career for the Braves," Jones said. "He gave me the opportunity to play baseball by drafting me." Even in the midst of grieving, Jones found himself hearing Cox’s voice while watching his sons play baseball on the day of the legendary manager’s passing. "I can’t help but shout the same things he did from the corner of the dugout," Jones wrote. "‘Come on kid, [you] got this!’" CHIPPER JONES RESPONDS TO CLAIM PITTING BRIAN SNITKER AGAINST LEGENDARY BRAVES MANAGER BOBBY COX And in true baseball-guy fashion, Jones joked that Cox may have still been pulling strings from above. "My boys won both of their games," Jones added. "Bobby had a hand, I have no doubt!" But Jones wasn’t the only Braves legend reflecting on Cox’s impact. Hall of Fame pitcher Tom Glavine remembered Cox’s unmatched passion and loyalty to his players. "The minute he came down in that dugout, in full uniform with his spikes on and ready to go, there was just a passion to win the game and fight for every inch of advantage he could get for his players," Glavine said. John Smoltz credited Cox for changing the course of his career entirely. "He gave you confidence when you didn't have it yourself," Smoltz said. "I'm not a Hall of Famer without him." Meanwhile, fellow Braves star Andruw Jones echoed Chipper’s sentiment that Cox became an additional father figure to so many players. "Bobby meant everything to me in my baseball career," Andruw Jones said. "I’ve said this before, he was like my second dad." That theme keeps surfacing over and over in the aftermath of Cox’s death. Not just respect for one of baseball’s greatest managers — but genuine love for the man who helped build the Braves into a powerhouse and treated generations of players like family.

"I think we really could be looking at numbers north of four, north of five, north of even six [percent], because there’s so much capital stock growth right now," National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett told "Sunday Morning Futures." Hassett elaborated on the acceleration in capital spending, noting that investment jumped 3.3% in March alone, not at an annualized rate. "So multiply that by 12, and you're looking at historic capital spending numbers," he added, arguing that the surge is being driven by the Trump administration’s tax policies and onshoring efforts. ‘PERCEPTION VS. REALITY’: TRUMP’S ECONOMY PICKS UP SPEED — BUT VOTERS AREN’T BUYING IT YET He said the surge in investment is laying the foundation for a sustained period of stronger economic growth once new factories and infrastructure come online. "Remember that the 2% number that you saw for GDP growth, the reason why it was 2% and not 4 or 5% was that we imported a record number of capital goods because we're building all these factories," he said. "Once we turn those factories on, you're going to really see growth unlike anything we've seen before." BESSENT SAYS ‘MORE AND MORE’ SHIPS MOVING THROUGH STRAIT OF HORMUZ, COULD EASE OIL PRICE PRESSURE Hassett also pointed to the pace of capital stock growth. "That's sort of like how much stuff that we make stuff with," he explained. "It's between 5 and 8 percent right now. If you divide that by three, that's about how much GDP growth you get out of just capital spending." Hassett also discussed the potential for gas prices to fall in the near future, pointing to increased supply once oil shipments begin moving more freely through the Strait of Hormuz. "That's going to help put prices down relatively quickly," he said. "Now, there's a little bit of a time lag from that. We've got to get the boats to move from the Persian Gulf to especially Asia, where jet fuel prices are so high, and that can take a month or two but once, basically the gusher opens, then we expect that oil prices could drop relatively quickly and certainly ahead of the election."

Fast-forward to this Sunday, and his performance looks very different as the South African stunned the golf world with a 14-shot win at the Catalunya Championship. Golf is a fickle game, but the performance the 22-year-old put together in Spain for his maiden victory on the European circuit is stunning on every level imaginable. We're talking about a player who began the week without a top-30 finish in eight starts this season turning around and finishing just one off the all-time biggest margin of victory set by Tiger Woods at the 2000 U.S. Open. SUNGJAE IM HITS TRULY BIZARRE BUNKER SHOT THAT RICOCHETS OFF GRANDSTAND ONLY TO END UP BACK AT HIS FEET Premlall, who entered the event ranked No. 598 in the Official World Golf Ranking, began the week with a 2-under round of 70 on Thursday. More than respectable given he had missed four out of eight cuts this season, but it still left him six shots back with 54 holes to play. Then came Friday, when it appears Premlall woke up a completely new man. He carded a second round score of 64, which he then followed with a 63 on Saturday to enter Sunday's final round five shots clear of the chasing pack. Any player, especially one who has yet to find the winner's circle, would sign up for a five-shot cushion with 18 holes to play. Still, it's also a unique spot that most players have never experienced at the professional level. So while many would have expected Premlall to take at least a half-step back and make things somewhat interesting on Sunday, that simply did not happen. The South African made birdie on six of his opening nine holes, picked up another four birdies down the stretch, and managed to post his second consecutive round of 63 to secure the insanely impressive 14-shot victory at 28-under par. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! "No words," Premlall said after securing victory. "I’ve worked so hard to get into this position and it’s so rewarding to finally see the results of it. I mean, the last eight, nine months have been such a struggle just to build myself onto a platform where I know I could give myself a chance to win and to end up obviously in this position. I’m just so grateful so it’s a dream come true." With his back-to-back rounds of 9-under across the weekend, Premlall could have theoretically skipped the first two rounds of the tournament and still won by four shots. Fellow South African Shaun Norris finished in solo second.

A TikTok video showing the oversized tenders has racked up thousands of views, with users reacting to both the portion size and calorie count. The video, filmed at a Costco location in Schaumburg, Illinois, shows a five-piece order priced at $6.99. The item has appeared at select Costco locations across the U.S., with some customers noting it may be replacing the calzone at certain stores. COSTCO SHOPPERS RAVE ABOUT 'DELICIOUSLY ADDICTIVE' SUMMER TREAT THAT'S GONE VIRAL It is unclear how widely the tenders are available or whether Costco plans a nationwide rollout. Chicken tenders are not entirely new to Costco, however. The item has been available at some international locations, including Canada and Australia, in recent years, food-focused publication TastingTable reported. The meal includes several large chicken tenders served with dipping sauce, quickly drawing buzz across social media as customers share photos. COSTCO WORKER REVEALS BAKED GOODS AREN’T SOLD HOT TO PREVENT CONDENSATION THAT CAN LEAD TO MOLD GROWTH AND SHORTEN SHELF LIFE The reaction online, however, has been mixed. Some shoppers questioned what the tenders might be replacing. "What did they get rid of? The calzone?" one user asked.

"Those look amazing," one user wrote, while others said they were eager to try the item if it expands to more locations. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ Fox News Digital previously reported that Costco recently reintroduced churros in a new format, though the change drew mixed reactions from shoppers. Instead of the traditional full-size pastry, the retailer rolled out a caramel churro sundae topped with smaller churro pieces. Some longtime customers expressed disappointment, saying they preferred the original version that had been a staple for years. Others welcomed the update, noting that Costco frequently rotates items on its food court menu depending on demand and availability. Deirdre Bardolf of Fox News Digital contributed reporting. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a00c31ba200899a00e96015 Trump unhappy about NFL streaming costs for fans as government probes league's antitrust exemption te 2026-05-10T17:40:43.596Z Trump unhappy about NFL streaming costs for fans as government probes league's antitrust exemption President Donald Trump has chimed in on the NFL's fight to retain its antitrust exemption amid probes by the FCC and Justice Department that could seriously affect the league's business model if it loses its exemption. At the center of the issue is whether the NFL's shift of games onto Netflix, Amazon, YouTube and Peacock has become too expensive for average fans to access, which in turn could be a violation of the Sports Broadcasting Act and the antitrust exemption the act grants the league. In a wide-ranging interview involving other subjects on the president's plate, reporter Sharyl Attkisson asked if the NFL is "price gouging" and whether the administration is going to do anything about it. "It's tough," Trump replied. "You got people that love football. They're great people, they don't make enough money to go and pay this. It's tough. And [the NFL] could be killing the golden goose, I mean to have that stupid kickoff thing that you can't watch, it's unwatchable. I hate the games where they, you know, they have the new phony kickoff. I don't think it's any safer. I hope college football doesn't do that." TRUMP SAYS NFL'S NEW KICKOFF RULE 'ACTUALLY MAKES FOOTBALL MORE DANGEROUS' Got it, the president is not a fan of the NFL's so-called dynamic kickoff that the league says has lowered the number of head injuries in its games. Anyway, back to the subject at hand -- the NFL's growing relationship with streaming services and the cost of adding those for fans. "...They have to be careful because others have tried this and all of a sudden you don't have a sport anymore," Trump said. "Probably will." Did the president just say his administration will step in? "It's something, there's something very sad when they take football away from many, many people, very sad. I don't like it," Trump said. Again, is the government stepping in? NFL PUSHES DEEPER INTO STREAMING AS NETFLIX LANDS AUSTRALIA GAME AMID FCC, DOJ SCRUTINY "I don't know," Trump said. "I don't, but I don't like it. I don't like it. They're making a lot of money. They could make a little bit less ... You've got people that live for Sunday. They live, they can't think about anything else, and then all of a sudden they're going to have to pay $1,000 a game? "It's crazy, so, I'm not happy about it." For the record, no one pays $1,000 to watch an NFL game on a streaming service. But the cost of adding the multiple streaming platforms the NFL is now doing business with, plus the cost of cable or satellite service to have all games available on a given game day, could easily eclipse $1,000 per season. And while that is potentially a lower cost than, say, a family of four actually attending a game once one figures in tickets, parking and concession purchases of food and beverages, that's not the point. The point is the NFL enjoys a government-provided antitrust exemption that has become the cornerstone of its business model. That exemption passed by Congress in the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 and signed into law by President John F. Kennedy allows the NFL to negotiate massive league-wide broadcast deals with networks. NFL MOUNTS A BLITZ AT FCC TO PROTECT ITS BUSINESS MODEL And that has benefited the league in ways Major League Baseball and other leagues have not because those broadcast rights are typically the highest in American sports and the NFL shares those revenues evenly among its teams. So there are no poor teams competing with rich teams. And that makes the NFL more competitive to the point smaller-market teams such as the Kansas City Chiefs can author a dynasty with multiple Super Bowl wins even as big-market teams such as the New York Jets or New York Giants aren't automatically good simply because they have more money to spend. At issue is that the Sports Broadcasting Act only covers over-the-air television and not the relatively new streaming services that are expensive for some consumers. So the government probes by the FCC and DOJ are questioning whether the 1961 act is being violated by 2020s-era broadcasting rights to pay streaming services. So, while the NFL's business model depends on centralized control of its media rights allowed under the antitrust exemption, adding streaming to that model makes restrictive bundling harder to justify. We now know what side the president is on.

Instead, it’s unraveling after a costly court defeat—triggering a growing blame game inside the party. The high-stakes effort to redraw congressional maps, backed by tens of millions of dollars and significant political capital, briefly delivered a narrow on-paper win. But in a 4–3 ruling, the Virginia Supreme Court struck down the maps, citing legal deficiencies, and forced a redraw—wiping out those gains. Democrats are left arguing over whether party leaders ignored legal warnings and pushed a strategy that was always at risk of collapsing. DAVID MARCUS: VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS STEP ON A $70M RAKE AND NOW THEY’RE CRYING In hindsight, critics say the outcome was avoidable. Republicans had urged an earlier court review before votes were cast and money spent, a step they argued could have clarified the maps’ legality.  Democrats pressed ahead anyway, betting the strategy would hold. "Violating the Virginia Constitution and bypassing the rule of law to further one’s own political power is wrong," Rep. Jen Kiggans, R-Va., said in a statement to The Hill. "Had [Democratic Gov.] Abigail Spanberger and the rest of Virginia’s Democrats succeeded, they would have caused irreparable harm to our democracy and disenfranchised millions of Virginians." Allies of Spanberger say legal concerns were raised early and not fully heeded, pointing to state lawmakers for pushing forward. Lawmakers and other Democrats counter that litigation was inevitable and the maps were defensible. DEMS WHO RAN ON AFFORDABILITY NOW FACE BACKLASH AS COSTS CLIMB IN NY, VIRGINIA The dispute reflects a broader divide within the party over how aggressively to pursue redistricting. Some Democrats argue such efforts are necessary to counter Republican-led maps nationwide. "I feel like the system is fundamentally broken, but let’s be clear. Republicans began the redistricting arms race," Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., told Fox News Digital in an earlier interview. "And so Democrats are left with no choice but to level the playing field for the sake of democracy." "Look, in a perfect world, we wouldn’t have political gerrymandering," Rep. Christian Menefee, D-Texas, added. "But because we don’t live in that world, we’ve got to fight fire with fire." Others, however, are more blunt in assigning blame. "I put this all on Democrats," Rep. Marc Veasey, D-Texas, said, arguing the party failed to respond forcefully to earlier GOP redistricting efforts and is now facing the consequences. The fallout is landing at a difficult moment. A federal raid on May 6 on the office of a powerful state senator has added to a sense of instability, while former Gov. L. Douglas Wilder has suggested the turmoil could give Spanberger an opening to reset and impose discipline on a still-fractured political operation. The episode underscores the growing role of courts in redistricting fights—and the risks of pushing legal boundaries in a high-stakes environment, with potential implications for control of Virginia’s congressional delegation. In retrospect, even with the narrow 4–3 decision, it’s a steep price: roughly $70 million and much of Spanberger’s political capital spent on a campaign that won the battle but lost the war. Democrats are left to sort out not just what went wrong—but who’s responsible. Fox News Digital's Leo Briceno contributed to this report.

That is now possible, as long as you live in the right place. Flytrex has partnered with Little Caesars to roll out a new kind of delivery. Instead of a driver, your order arrives by drone, still hot and fresh from the oven. There is one catch. The service is currently live in Wylie, Texas. If you are not there, you will have to wait a bit longer. Still, this gives a clear look at where food delivery is heading. Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy Report ROBOTS ARE TAKING OVER UBER EATS DELIVERIES. IS YOUR CITY NEXT? The process feels familiar at first, then quickly shifts into something very different. You open the Flytrex app and check if your home falls within the four-mile delivery zone. If it does, you build your order just like you normally would, choosing up to two large 16-inch pizzas along with sides and drinks, as long as everything stays under the 8.8-pound limit. Once you place the order, it goes straight into Little Caesars' system. This is the first time a drone delivery platform connects directly to a restaurant's point of sale, which speeds things up behind the scenes. The store prepares your food as usual. Instead of handing it to a driver, the order is picked up outside through what Flytrex calls remote pickup. The drone collects it curbside and takes off. From there, everything is automated. The drone flies to your home, usually in about four and a half minutes. When it arrives, it hovers above your yard and lowers the food down on a wire. There is no landing and no face-to-face handoff. The system works because of the new Sky2 drone, which was designed to handle full meals instead of small packages. It can carry a full family-sized order in one trip, including two large pizzas, sides and drinks. That alone sets it apart from earlier delivery drones that could only handle lighter orders. The drone uses an octocopter design with eight motors, which gives it redundancy in flight. If one motor has an issue, the others can keep it stable. It also runs on a dual battery system for added reliability. Navigation relies on satellite positioning with real-time corrections, allowing it to move with a high level of precision. Its onboard AI continuously monitors the flight to keep everything running safely from takeoff to delivery. The range is designed to cover nearby suburban neighborhoods, which helps keep delivery times fast and food fresh. DELIVERY ROBOT AUTONOMOUSLY LIFTS, TRANSPORTS HEAVY CARGO Speed is what makes this stand out. A delivery that takes just minutes changes how people think about ordering food. For anyone who prefers picking up pizza to keep it hot, this starts to remove that tradeoff. You can get the same freshness without leaving your house. That alone could push more people to order in rather than drive. It also removes traffic delays and long delivery routes. The drone flies directly from the restaurant to your home, which cuts out many of the usual slowdowns. "Flytrex is laser-focused on making on-demand food delivery by drone a reality for everyday families," Amit Regev said. "A big part of advancing this market is making sure people can get the food they actually want, when they want it. Until now, drones simply weren't capable of delivering a full family meal. The Sky2 changes that." ALEXA+ LETS YOU ORDER FOOD LIKE A REAL CONVERSATION Right now, this service is limited. Wylie, Texas, is the first place where you can order two full pizzas by drone through this partnership. That said, Flytrex isn’t starting from scratch. The company has already completed more than 200,000 deliveries across the United States, including ongoing operations in North Carolina, where residents place more than 1,000 orders each month. Drone delivery is also expanding in other parts of the world and in select U.S. markets. Companies like Wing, Amazon, GrubHub and Manna, and Manna are all pushing into new areas, which suggests this will not stay limited for long. Even if this isn’t available where you live yet, it is moving in that direction.  Faster delivery could become the new expectation, especially for short distances. Food may arrive hotter and more consistently since it avoids traffic and long wait times. Ordering could also feel easier as systems connect directly with restaurants, reducing delays between checkout and preparation. At the same time, you may start to notice more drones overhead. That raises questions about noise, safety and how often these flights will happen in residential areas. Take my quiz: How safe is your online security?

Drone delivery has been discussed for years, yet this feels like a turning point. The ability to deliver a full meal removes one of the biggest barriers that held the idea back. This rollout shows how quickly things can shift once the technology matches everyday needs. It may not be in your neighborhood yet, though the pace of expansion suggests it will not stay that way for long. Little Caesars' VP of innovation, Trish Heusel, summed it up this way. "Partnering with Flytrex to bring full family meals by drone delivery is a major leap forward and a clear example of how we're pushing the boundaries of convenience, speed and accessibility in our category." For now, the future depends on where you live. Would you order pizza more often if it showed up hot at your door in under five minutes without a driver? Let us know by writing to us at CyberGuy.com.

It was the first round of the state tournament, as a trans athlete competed for Jurupa Valley High School, winning first place in high jump, triple jump and long jump. The athlete's mom, Nereyda Hernandez, spoke at the pro-transgender press conference, which was hosted by LGBTQ-rights groups "Rainbow Families Action," and "Pride at the Pier" addressing the earlier protesters. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM "My daughter is a minor," she said. "Their conduct disrupted our peace." The mother went on to claim the attention and controversy surrounding her child competing in girls' sports caused issues for her whole family, and the athlete's teammates, classmates and their families. "The impact was so severe that I was forced to take a leave of absence from work because my focus had to shift to protecting my daughter's safety and emotional wellbeing," the mother said at the news conference. "No parent should have to choose between their livelihood and protecting their child from public harassment." NEWSOM'S 'UNFAIR' REMARK ON GIRLS' SPORTS BELIES RECORD AS GOVERNOR: 'ABSOLUTE BULLS---' The parent of another California high school trans athlete, Trevor Norcross, thanked Gov. Gavin Newsom for "denouncing" the "Save Girls Sports" protest, and requested an audience with him. "Governor Newsom, I appreciate that you have denounced the protest earlier this morning from the anti-trans group here. But for far too long, this debate has occurred without the voices of the trans athletes and their families. I'm here today to ask for a meeting with you, and have a respectful conversation," Norcross said. "The people that this has impacted the most have not been included in the conversation... we're asking you for a seat at the table." A source at the governor's office provided a statement to Fox News Digital in response to news that the "Save GIrls Sports" protest had been planned for Saturday. "The Governor has said discussions on this issue should be guided by fairness, dignity, and respect. He rejects the right wing’s cynical attempt to weaponize this debate as an excuse to vilify individual kids. The Governor’s position is simple: stand with all kids and stand up to bullies," the statement read. "California is one of 22 states that have laws requiring students be permitted to participate in sex-segregated school sports consistent with their gender identity. California passed this law in 2013 (AB 1266) and it was signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown."

Eisenberg made the comments during an interview with Fox News on Sunday. He said Hamas is currently out of compliance with a wider peace agreement and is refusing to give up its weapons to "demilitarize" Gaza. "I think all the options are on the table since Hamas is noncompliant with the 20-point plan, and they haven't delivered their weapons like they were supposed to. And so we'll have to wait and see. But like I said, this is incredibly well thought out. Give President Trump a tremendous amount of credit and his team of people credit. They've literally thought through every stage of this from beginning to end," Eisenberg said. "And by the way, and as President Trump said, there's an easy way and a hard way. Everyone prefers the easy way, which is Hamas. With the help of the mediators delivers the weapons, but if they don't, there's a hard way too.," he added. TRUMP CONVENES FIRST ‘BOARD OF PEACE’ MEETING AS GAZA REBUILD HINGES ON HAMAS DISARMAMENT Eisenberg went on to say that Iran must also eventually give up control over Gaza under the 20-pont plan agreed to between the U.S., Israel and Hamas. "Hamas is still there. But the 20-point plan says they cannot be there. They cannot be a part of government. They cannot bear arms. They have to become Swedish, basically, in order for them to stay in any role in Gaza. And so I suggest they do that sooner rather than later. And I think progress is slow. You can't microwave a 30-year problem. It doesn't work. Sociologists," he said. Eisenberg's comments come amid multiple peace negotiations across the Middle East. Israel is hashing out an agreement to deal with Hezbollah in Lebanon and the U.S. is in talks with Iran. WHAT ISRAEL WANTS FROM AN IRAN PEACE DEAL: NO ENRICHMENT, MISSILE LIMITS AND STRICT ENFORCEMENT Netanyahu said last week that Israel and the United States remain in "full coordination" as negotiations continue. "We share common objectives, and the most important objective is the removal of the enriched material from Iran, all the enriched material, and the dismantling of Iran’s enrichment capabilities," Netanyahu said at the opening of a security cabinet meeting. On the nuclear issue, former Israeli National Security Advisor Yaakov Amidror said Israel’s position remains uncompromising. "Weaponized uranium must leave Iran," Amidror said. "The Iranians must not be allowed to enrich uranium." Alongside the nuclear issue, Israeli analysts say Iran’s ballistic missile program has become equally central to Israel’s security concerns. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a00ae51a200899a00e95b8f DAVID MARCUS: New York Times announces the end of the climate change hoax te 2026-05-10T16:12:01.959Z DAVID MARCUS: New York Times announces the end of the climate change hoax For almost the entirety of the half century I have lived on Earth, I have had experts, teachers, politicians and activists hectoring me about how climate change is going to destroy the planet. But this week, in The New York Times, of all places, is evidence that climate alarmism is finally cooling down. "Democrats Do Not Have To Campaign On Climate Change Anymore," blared the headline, this week, as author Matt Huber argues that voters are rather turned off by the subject. I would like to suggest that this is because it is the single most expensive lie in human history. In elementary school, I endured warnings of a coming ice age, then by high school it was global warming that was minutes away from ending humanity. By the time I was an adult, the warming having failed, surprisingly, to occur, we settled on "climate change," as the vague name for the inevitable apocalypse. In 2018, as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was coming into prominence, she told us that we had a mere 12 years to fix the climate problem or we would all die. In that time, untold trillions of dollars have been spent by the government, along with basically every business in the country, to hold the weather at bay, even though every prediction the alarmists have made has fallen flat. EARTH DAY: THREE BIG SIGNS THE CLIMATE MOVEMENT IS RUNNING OUT OF GAS Miami, my friends, is not underwater. It's not just the expense of climate alarmism, it's what it has kept us from doing, as well. How much would a gallon of gas cost today had we been drilling for oil instead of pretending the "emergency" meant we all had to switch to electric cars by next Tuesday? With precious few exceptions, every single thing in our lives has been made much more expensive by the cult of climate and its constant lamentations about the end of days. Entire generations of our youth have been terrorized, just as their parents were by nuclear bomb drills, into thinking they may be the last human beings to ever live. UK OFFICIALS RECOMMEND YOGA AND 'CLIMATE CAFÉS' TO COMBAT 'ECO-ANXIETY' We have all seen the reports of young adults who say they don’t want to have kids because they expect the world to end. It's ridiculous. Travel sports might be a plausible reason to avoid having children, but climate change is not. Now, finally, after 50 years of hysteria, The New York Times, the very Grey Lady with her hair on fire over climate change this whole time, tells us it's not such a big deal after all? Even Greta Thunberg, whose entire existence, it seemed, was predicated upon berating us for destroying the planet, has moved on to radical Islam, and traded in her Birkenstocks for a keffeyah. 20 YEARS LATER, AL GORE AND HIS DIRECTOR DEFEND THEIR CONTROVERSIAL CLIMATE MOVIE 'AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH' Say what you will, but as an apocalyptic hoax, climate alarmism has had an absolutely historic run. Overpopulation nonsense had a few years in the 60s, but nothing compared to the decades of pure insanity that we have lived through thanks to Al Gore's unhinged predictions. Everyone wants to be a good steward of Mother Nature. Littering is bad and all that, but performative nonsense like paper straws that melt in your cocktail or cars that shut themselves off every 10 seconds are meaningless gestures. Expensive meaningless gestures. PROTECTING AMERICA’S OUTDOORS IS PATRIOTIC — BUT RADICAL ACTIVISM GETS IN THE WAY The climate debate has always hinged to some degree on whether our greatest love should be for nature writ large, or for humanity, because we know that cheap energy is the doorway out of poverty, but also poison to the climate alarmists. This battle became religious for the secular Left, with taxes instead of tithing and environmentalist slogans instead of prayers. It wasn’t just a scientific issue, but a moral one. If you failed to join in the hysteria, then you were a bad person. Nothing about American climate policy or attitudes towards it have ever made any sense. We tighten our belts and pay through the nose to keep our emissions low while the rest of the world basically fires huge carbon dioxide cannons up into the sky. For once, I agree with The New York Times. It is time for this madness to end. We do not need to saddle our children with the emotional and economic damage of make-believe climate disasters. Americans are smart enough to know that, whatever the looney Left might tell them, the end is not nigh.

"We are open to all ideas," Wright said on NBC’s "Meet the Press" when asked whether President Donald Trump would support temporarily suspending the 18.4-cent-per-gallon federal gasoline tax. "All ideas to lower prices for American consumers and American businesses." Wright framed the potential gas tax suspension as part of a broader effort by the administration to respond to higher energy costs that have followed months of military and economic tensions with Iran and disruptions to global oil shipping routes. "We are working every day to offset this rise in prices because of a critical conflict in Iran to drive prices down and we’re open to all such ideas," Wright said. GAS SURGE TIED TO IRAN CONFLICT HITS SWING STATES, TESTING TRUMP’S LOW-PRICE PITCH The comments came after host Kristen Welker noted that several states, including Georgia, Indiana and Utah, have temporarily suspended state gas taxes to provide relief to drivers. Members of Congress have also floated proposals to suspend the federal gas tax temporarily as gasoline prices climb nationwide. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the federal gasoline tax has remained at 18.4 cents per gallon since 1993 and helps fund highway and infrastructure programs. Wright declined repeatedly to predict whether gasoline prices could rise to $5 per gallon, despite analysts warning that refinery constraints and ongoing instability in the Persian Gulf could push prices significantly higher during the summer travel season. WHITE HOUSE SAYS OIL PRICE SPIKE IS TEMPORARY AS TRUMP PUSHES ENERGY DOMINANCE AMID IRAN WAR "I’m avoiding price predictions," Wright said. "Gasoline and diesel prices are up, and they’ll remain up while this conflict is in place, and then they will come back down, and ultimately they’ll come back down lower than they were before." Wright said the administration has already taken several steps aimed at stabilizing fuel markets, including coordinated releases from strategic petroleum reserves and regulatory adjustments intended to boost refinery output.

This time, the Indiana Fever star became the fastest player in WNBA history to record 1,000+ points, 250+ rebounds and 250+ assists — reaching the mark in just 54 career games and surpassing the previous record of 62 games set by Diana Taurasi. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE And at least one basketball legend took notice. LeBron James gave Clark a shout-out on Instagram after the accomplishment, posting, "CONGRATS @caitlinclark22," along with several clapping emojis. The milestone came during Indiana’s season opener against the Dallas Wings on Saturday — a game the Fever ultimately dropped, 107-104, despite a furious offensive performance from both teams. Clark finished with 20 points, seven assists and five rebounds in her first regular-season game since July 15, 2025. She shot 7-of-18 from the field and just 2-of-9 from beyond the arc, including a missed game-tying 3-pointer in the closing seconds. The game itself was a shootout from start to finish. In fact, it was the first season opener in WNBA history where both teams scored more than 100 points. LEBRON JAMES HYPES UP CAITLIN CLARK AS SHE GEARS UP FOR THIRD FEVER SEASON There was also a brief injury scare when Clark headed to the locker room multiple times during the game. But afterward, she downplayed any concern. "Just getting my back adjusted," Clark said postgame. "Gets out of line pretty quickly. Other than that, I feel great." And if anyone still had doubts about Clark feeling fine, she pretty quickly erased them Saturday night. Just hours after the loss, Clark appeared onstage with Morgan Wallen at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis as part of his Still the Problem tour. Wallen traditionally brings out a local celebrity before his shows, and Clark got the honors for night two in Indy. The country music superstar posted a video of the walk-out on his Instagram account after the show with the simple caption, "22." "We did that 🔥," Clark replied in the comments. So it seems like Clark isn’t letting a cold shooting day get her down. The Fever will look to bounce back on Wednesday when they take on the Sparks in Los Angeles.

Dannielynn Birkhead, now 19, has largely grown up outside Hollywood’s spotlight under the care of her father, Larry Birkhead. But recent public appearances — including a striking look at this year’s Kentucky Derby weekend — have renewed interest in Dannielynn carrying on her mother’s legacy, even as she has largely stayed out of the public eye for most of her life.  ANNA NICOLE SMITH’S LOOKALIKE DAUGHTER TURNS HEADS IN DRAMATIC NEW LOOK AT KENTUCKY DERBY AS STARS TAKE OVER Most recently, Dannielynn turned heads during Kentucky Derby weekend after debuting a dramatic goth-rock-inspired makeover alongside her father in Louisville, Kentucky. On the day of the famous horse race, she wore a strapless black gown with oversized white floral designs and a black-and-white fascinator, while also rocking platinum blonde hair tipped in jet black. The day before, she made an appearance at the exclusive Barnstable Brown Derby Eve party, in a dramatic transformation. She sported a Gothic dress from Punk Rave — an embroidered, strapless corset gown with a sheer draped skirt. But while fans continue to marvel at how much she resembles her famous mother, Dannielynn’s story stretches far beyond fashion moments and Derby appearances. Born Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern, Anna Nicole Smith's daughter was born on Sept. 7, 2006, in Nassau, Bahamas. At the time, Anna Nicole Smith publicly named attorney Howard K. Stern as her daughter’s father. Larry disagreed and pushed for DNA testing, setting off a public paternity dispute. The story then took a deeply tragic turn. Three days after Dannielynn’s birth, Smith’s 20-year-old son, Daniel Wayne Smith, died from an accidental overdose while visiting his mother and newborn sister in the hospital. Months later, in February 2007, Anna Nicole Smith herself died at 39 from an accidental drug overdose, leaving her infant daughter at the center of yet another wave of public scrutiny — this time over custody. ANNA NICOLE SMITH'S DAUGHTER HAS 'FULL-CIRCLE' MOMENT WEARING HER LATE MOM'S DRESS AT KENTUCKY DERBY In April 2007, DNA testing confirmed Larry Birkhead as the biological father. "I hate to be the one to tell you this, but I told you so," Larry said at the time after a closed-door hearing. "My baby's going to be coming home pretty soon. I'm the father." Soon after custody was granted to Larry, he moved his daughter to Kentucky and raised her away from the Hollywood spotlight. "And then it came to kind of people look for my daughter there because I really don't let her do any public events," he previously told Fox News Digital. "And, so, in all honesty, the Kentucky Derby is kind of the growth chart for Dannielynn." Outside those carefully chosen appearances, her life has been strikingly ordinary with school days, family routines and travel that looks more road trip than red carpet. Over the years, she and her father have built a shared world around music and low-key traditions — concerts, theme parks and trips. They’ve seen Janet Jackson and Duran Duran together, moments Larry often documents. ANNA NICOLE SMITH'S DAUGHTER DANNIELYNN BIRKHEAD STEPS OUT IN A BOLD RED GOWN AT KENTUCKY DERBY On Father’s Day in 2023, he posted a photo of a Duran Duran concert with Dannielynn, joking he'd been "trying to school her on good music way back since she was a baby." In 2021, she joined Larry for an ABC "20/20" special that revisited Anna Nicole Smith’s life, including a trip to Mexia, Texas, her mother’s hometown. There, they met people who knew Smith before fame reshaped her identity entirely. "When we talk about Anna Nicole, there were a lot of happy moments for her," Larry said. "There were a lot of highs before there were a lot of lows." Meanwhile, Dannielynn has begun choosing her own connections to her mother’s story. At the 2025 Barnstable Brown Gala, she wore one of Anna Nicole Smith’s black gowns — an unmistakable piece of her mother’s history that Smith wore on the same event’s red carpet more than two decades earlier. "She said she chose the dress because it was her mom’s and ‘super cool,’" Larry shared on social media at the time. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER That same event carries its own emotional weight — Larry first met Smith at the Barnstable Brown Gala in 2002. What began as a chance encounter at a Derby weekend gathering has now become an annual tradition with their daughter. "That’s where I met Anna Nicole Smith," he previously told Fox News Digital. "And it’s something that I’ve taken my daughter back every year since." Outside of Kentucky Derby traditions, Dannielynn is an impressive scholar. In 2023, Larry praised his daughter for being an honor-roll student with an interest in forensics. She’s additionally navigating adulthood while carrying a legacy she didn’t ask for but has begun to interpret on her own terms. On her 17th birthday, Larry wrote simply: "You are funny, crazy smart, pretty and just about everything I could ever imagine. Your mom would be so proud of you, I sure am."

The newest member of the Dream became the fastest player in WNBA history to record 50 career double-doubles during Saturday’s season-opening win over the Minnesota Lynx, surpassing a mark previously held by WNBA legend Tina Charles. Reese reached the milestone in 65 games, while Charles did it in 75. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Reese finished her Dream debut with 11 points, 14 rebounds, three blocks and two steals in Atlanta’s dramatic 91-90 comeback victory in Minneapolis. And with Minnesota trying to steal the game back in the closing seconds, it was Reese who blocked an Emese Hof layup attempt as time expired to seal the win. After the game, the 24-year-old admitted her debut wasn’t perfect, but she credited her teammates for helping her stay composed. "My experience has been great because we got a win," Reese said. "It was rough for me tonight but this is what you call a team. Being able to have players that have your back and always will pick you up, even when you're not having the best game. Always in your ear, putting a lot of confidence into you. "It's been great, I'm happy we got the win tonight and we just continue to grow and get better because this wasn't our best." Reese also acknowledged she was frustrated with parts of her performance after shooting 4-of-11 from the field and committing five turnovers. "It was tough for me, obviously, because I didn't finish well tonight and I was really hard on myself," Reese said. "But this is what basketball is and we talk about it all the time, about next best action and being able to be ready for the next possession. I knew I needed to come up for my teammates on that last possession and get that block no matter what happened before that." MEGAN RAPINOE BACKS ANGEL REESE SKIPPING INTERVIEWS AS TAKING POWER BACK She added: "I just give kudos to my teammates for continuing to instill confidence into me. My rookie year, I probably would've just melted down and not been able to fight back and just be able to come out with that big block. So, shoutout to my teammates." Atlanta erased a 19-point deficit in the victory, thanks in large part to Allisha Gray, who scored 24 points, while Rhyne Howard and Naz Hillmon each added 15. Next up, the Dream head to Dallas to take on Paige Bueckers, Azzi Fudd and the Wings on Tuesday night.

She's also accused of trying to rob him before hitting him in the face with the gun. According to the arrest report, the man arrived at his girlfriend's house around 2 a.m. on Wednesday thanks to a friend who gave him a ride. After arriving at the house, WEAR News reported that Adrianna Barron, his girlfriend's 18-year-old sister, approached him with a gun. She is accused of then pointing it at him, telling him to "strip" and empty his pockets. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! According to the arrest report, she hit him in the face with the gun after making her demands, which it's safe to assume he didn’t comply with. He and his girlfriend allegedly ran and jumped into his friend's truck. Barron allegedly pointed the gun at the boyfriend's friend and told him to empty his pockets. Why wasn’t he asked to strip? That's a question he's in all likelihood going to be asking himself for some time. He ran to his truck and the three of them drove away, according to authorities. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK CULTURE COVERAGE Now, all of this went down in Escambia County, Florida, and that means the awkward family event didn’t end there. Barron allegedly followed the truck in another vehicle and tried to push it off the road before deputies arrived and tried to pull Barron over. The report states that she was initially able to flee deputies, but was found shortly after that. According to deputies, "Adriana spontaneously stated she only wanted to help her sister." Barron's unusual way of helping landed her in the Escambia County Jail. She was charged with battery, robbery with a weapon (attempted, two counts), aggravated assault (two counts), fleeing and eluding law enforcement, and driving without a valid driver's license. She also, undoubtedly, made any future family events that the boyfriend attends with his girlfriend's family much more awkward than they need to be.

Many of us were married with kids, some of them quite young. We often commiserated over being apart from the families we loved and found some solace in being deployed together behind enemy lines on a sacred mission to protect our country from terrorist threats. What little downtime we had was usually filled with stories of our children back home, which our spouses dutifully relayed to us. But that never made up for missing our children's milestones, celebrating holidays together, or watching them compete on the sports field. A number of the female officers serving in our station had children too young to understand their moms' careers or what exactly they were doing overseas. All they knew was that Mom was far away from home and would return occasionally for short visits over the course of her tour of duty. Even one year apart seemed like an eternity since it was such a large percentage of the years they had lived on this earth. Mother's Day is supposed to be the day when dads and children honor moms and motherhood with a celebratory family meal, flowers and homemade greeting cards. FIRST LADY MELANIA TRUMP WELCOMES MILITARY MOMS TO WHITE HOUSE FOR MOTHER'S DAY When Mom is deployed overseas with the CIA, the best the family could hope for might be an occasional FaceTime conversation if the internet happened to be up and running. The CIA's work is secret, so rarely do children know where Mom really works. They might have been told she is doing business for an international company or working for some other government agency. Certainly, Mom would never tell them anything about her spy job, such as how she had spent her day holding a high-threat meeting fully kitted out with a Glock, M4 and body armor to meet a source with access to a terrorist group. Or how she debriefed a source with access to intelligence on an Al Qaeda network seeking to do us harm. Or how she spent the morning reviewing trauma first aid procedures and practicing marksmanship before driving across the country to meet with host-government counterterrorism officials. Or how she had to brief the CIA director and the White House in a secure video teleconference call late into the night. THE QUIET WAR: HOW TERROR HAS EVOLVED SINCE SEPT 11 Until they were teenagers, our sons never really had any understanding of what it meant that their mom, my late wife, Kim, was a CIA disguise technician who cloaked up CIA officers so they could recruit spies and steal secrets without being spotted by the opposition. All they knew was that Mom made the best homemade pancakes and waffles; snuggled them before they went to bed; comforted them when they were sad; healed them when they were sick; gave them copious amounts of Easter candy and Christmas presents; and planned the coolest birthday parties. Perhaps the only clue to Kim's clandestine work was in the exquisite Halloween costumes she created for our sons, who collected heaps of candy from our duly impressed neighbors. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION But celebrating Mother's Day while Mom is deployed overseas can also be especially transformative for children, who perhaps not in the moment but over time come to appreciate their mother's patriotism, sacrifice, bravery and contribution to our national security. The late Charles Krauthammer poignantly highlighted the necessity of a robust, forward-deployed U.S. presence to detect and preempt overseas threats before they are visited upon our shores. Sept. 11 demonstrated how terrorists plotting from ungoverned space, especially in the South Asian region where I had the honor of serving my last overseas assignment, could reach our homeland despite the geographic separation that once gave us a unique measure of security. Mom is an undercover CIA officer on the front lines in defense of our grateful nation. Now that's what being a role-model parent juggling work and family is all about. So on this Mother's Day, let's all spend a few moments in appreciation for the moms who are separated from their families while serving a righteous U.S. government mission overseas, even if we do not have the requisite security clearance to know exactly what that mission might involve or how dangerous it is. And let's all pray for every mom's safe return home, where her family awaits her with open arms and tears of joy.

Rand Paul, R-Ky., is vowing to keep up the pressure on "the COVID coverup" with a Senate hearing this week. "David Morens, Dr. Fauci's top advisor, was indicted, but Fauci himself still walks free," Paul, who has long pressed Fauci in heated exchanges in congressional hearings, wrote this week on X, continuing his urging of the Justice Department to pick up charges from his criminal referral despite former President Joe Biden issuing a sweeping preemptive pardon of Fauci on his last night in office Jan. 19, 2025. "The DOJ has 5 days to indict Fauci before the statute of limitations runs out. The clock is ticking. Justice cannot wait." The Biden pardon and Fauci's statute of limitations expiration Monday shields the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and chief medical advisor to Biden, but Morens was indicted late last month for having "deliberately concealed information and falsified records in an effort to suppress alternative theories regarding the origins of COVID-19." EX-FAUCI TOP ADVISOR INDICTED OVER ALLEGED COVID COVER-UP, HIDDEN EMAILS "For years, I warned that Fauci and his inner circle buried the truth about Wuhan," Paul wrote Wednesday on X. "Now his closest adviser has been indicted. "Fauci lied to Congress under oath. The statute of limitations expires in 5 days. Will the DOJ finally indict Fauci?" The Trump Justice Department under former Attorney General Pam Bondi or acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has made no public statements about bringing charges. ANTHONY FAUCI MAY BE DEPOSED AS GOP INTENSIFIES COVID INVESTIGATIONS IN NEW CONGRESS "While we can all have our beefs with Congress, this isn’t in our hands any longer," Paul wrote Thursday on X. "I DID the work, investigated, and sent multiple CRIMINAL referrals to the DOJ. "Whether he is indicted or not now is not up to Congress. It is up to the DoJ, and no one else." "He lied to Congress about NIH funding dangerous gain-of-function research in Wuhan and engaged in the worst cover-up in modern medical history," Paul added in another X post. "The American people want Fauci behind bars." BIDEN TEAM REPORTEDLY CONSIDERING PREEMPTIVE PARDONS FOR FAUCI, SCHIFF, OTHER TRUMP 'TARGETS' President Donald Trump has publicly rejected the Biden autopen pardons as having no force or "legal effect," but there is no precedent for a new president nullifying a past president's pardons, because they would potentially render presidential pardon authority ultimately powerless against a new administration's agenda. "Anyone receiving 'Pardons,' 'Commutations,' or any other Legal Document so signed, please be advised that said Document has been fully and completely terminated, and is of no Legal effect," Trump wrote in December on Truth Social. Just two days after the Fauci clock runs out, Paul is chairing a Senate Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs committee hearing with a "COVID coverup" whistleblower Wednesday. FBI EXAMINING COVID-19 ORIGIN 'COVER-UP' AMID NEW STRAIN EMERGENCE: BONGINO "Next week I’m holding a hearing with a whistleblower who will testify publicly about the COVID coverup," Paul teased in an X post. "Mark your calendars: Wednesday, May 13 at 10 a.m. "The truth is coming." Paul renewed a criminal referral to the DOJ last July to investigate whether Fauci’s May 2021 statements violated federal false-statements law. In the referral, Paul pointed to Fauci’s testimony that "the NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology." DOJ INVESTIGATING ANDREW CUOMO FOR ALLEGEDLY LYING ABOUT COVID DECISIONS, SOURCE CONFIRMS Paul’s referral also noted Fauci later said he had "never lied before the Congress" and did "not retract that statement" after Paul warned him about the criminal implications of lying to Congress. The referral cites a February 2020 email released by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, in which Fauci wrote that "scientists in Wuhan University are known to have been working on gain-of-function experiments" involving bat viruses and human infection. Paul argued that the email contradicted Fauci’s sworn testimony. COVID 'MOST LIKELY' LEAKED FROM WUHAN LAB, SOCIAL DISTANCING 'NOT BASED ON SCIENCE,' SELECT COMMITTEE FINDS Paul also cited research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) that he said was funded under a NIAID award and involved combining spike genes from bat SARS-related coronaviruses with another coronavirus backbone to create chimeric viruses capable of infecting human cells. "This research, conducted at the WIV and funded under NIAID Award R01AI110964, fits the definition of gain-of-function research," the referral stated. The criminal referral further cites a 2023 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report that found the WIV and Wuhan University received NIH funding. According to Paul’s referral, the GAO said NIH funded a project that included "genetic experiments to combine naturally occurring bat coronaviruses with SARS and MERS viruses, resulting in hybridized coronavirus strains." SCIENTISTS EXPECT MAJOR 'MEDICAL BREAKTHROUGHS' DESPITE TRUMP'S CAP ON NIH RESEARCH FUNDING Anyone who makes a materially false statement in a congressional investigation or review can face fines and up to five years in prison. Paul’s July referral also challenged the legal effect of a preemptive pardon Fauci received from Biden's autopen. "New information has revealed that these pardons were executed via autopen, with no documented confirmation that the President personally reviewed or approved each individual grant of clemency," Paul wrote. "According to reports, White House staff authorized the use of the autopen to issue the clemency documents. "This raises serious constitutional and legal concerns about the legitimacy of Dr. Fauci’s pardon." GREGG JARRETT: BIDEN, THE ‘MARIONETTE PRESIDENT; AND THE CASE OF THE RUNAWAY AUTOPEN Fauci has repeatedly denied lying to Congress, including forcefully to Paul himself in multiple congressional hearings. "Dr. Fauci, knowing that it is a crime to lie to Congress, do you wish to retract your statement of May 11 [2021], where you claimed at the NIH never funded gain-of-function research and move on?" Paul asked in a July 2021 Senate hearing. "Sen. Paul, I have never lied before the Congress, and I do not retract that statement," Fauci shot back. "Let me finish!" Fauci added, when Paul tried to interject. "Sen. Paul, you do not know what you're talking about, quite frankly. And I want to say that officially, you do not know what you're talking about." DR. FAUCI SAYS HE APPRECIATES PRESIDENT BIDEN'S PARDON BUT INSISTS 'NO CRIME' WAS COMMITTED The nature of the alleged lie revolves around the definition and denials of gain-of-function research surrounding COVID-19. "You're dancing around this because you're trying to obscure responsibility for four million people dying around them from a pandemic," Paul said in the famed exchange, adding, "you are obviously obfuscating the truth." Fauci replied, "I'm not obfuscating the truth – you are." "You are implying that what we did was responsible for the deaths of individuals," he added. "I totally resent that." Paul shot back, "It could have been." "If there is any lying here, senator, it is you," Fauci said, shaking his finger at Paul. Sitting members of Congress are provided immunity under the speech and debate clause of the Constitution, while most of those investigated by Congress and subject to testifying under oath, which Fauci did.

In the earlier post, Pratt accused the network of coordinating with Bass' team on the edited package.

"After CBS embarrassed Karen Bass by fact-checking her debate lies about the Palisades Fire, they clearly got the call," Pratt wrote. CBS later posted the full interview online after Fox News Digital reported on Pratt's criticism and cited a source familiar with the production who said no outside parties were involved in editing the segment. LA MAYORAL CANDIDATE SPENCER PRATT VOWS ‘ZERO ENCAMPMENTS’ OF HOMELESS, NO FENTANYL ON STREETS In the televised interview, CBS correspondent Adam Yamaguchi questioned Pratt about his lack of political experience and uphill path in a heavily Democratic-voting Los Angeles.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a00a01aa200899a00e958f1 Sen. T J Shope: A hat can hold special memories te 2026-05-10T15:11:22.640Z Sen. T J Shope: A hat can hold special memories What’s in a hat? By any other name, it would still look just as cool.  We’re back! As the senators get ready for a potentially month-long hiatus after trying to round up the budget, we’re still having some fun talking about their cowboy hats. Arizona is the American Southwest and there’s no shortage of Western history and culture. It spills over into the Legislature and seeing anyone donning a cowboy hat on any given day is not uncommon. Here’s the stories under the hats.  Senate Pro Tem TJ Shope said his hat holds sentimental value. Here’s the story.  PS: Sen. David Gowan, you’re our last contestant! Let’s chat about your hat soon. Questions and answers have been lightly edited for style and clarity.  What’s the story behind your hat?  It’s what I wore to my wedding in 2020. I bought it in Fort Worth at M.L. Leddy’s in the stockyards, and I saw it and it was like, ‘Yeah, this would be pretty good to wear in the wedding’, and my (future) wife, Melissa, really liked it. So I went ahead and made the purchase that day and then wore it. We got married in October 2020 during Covid. I think I’ve had it in my photo each term. It’s my favorite and it’s got a lot of sentimental value now.  How much money did it cost?  It’s pure beaver, and it’ll definitely be the last time I buy a black felt hat.  Do you have a hard and fast rule about when you wear your hat to the Senate? I want to have at least the corresponding footwear to go with it, because I do bounce back and forth between dress shoes and cowboy boots. I have boots on today, but no hat. It’s not always hard and fast, but if I’ve got the appropriate footwear to go along with it, then I’m going to wear it. Now I am a fan of the Stetson Open Road. That’s like the hat that (presidents) Eisenhower and Johnson wore pretty regularly. I will put that on if it’s a dress shoe day, and I just want to have a hat on too. Which of your fellow legislators should wear a hat (of the ones that do not currently wear a hat)?  Oh man, I would say, and mainly because I have seen her in one, it would be Sen. Carine Werner. She does represent the most Western town of Scottsdale, so don’t be shocked if you see her wearing one during rodeo week.  Have you ever lost your hat? What happened and how did you find it? No, I have not. I do have a cool thing in my truck that whenever you get in it, I can take it off and I have a hat carrier kind of holder right behind me, so that helps. I’ve never lost it. That would be pretty traumatic. It’s not like a ball cap that costs 20 bucks, although those damn things don’t cost $20.  How do you know when you’ve “earned” a cowboy hat? Yellowstone’s really changed the game, right? When I first got to the capital in 2013, I was among the handful … Gowan, maybe, and one or two others that wore hats on a fairly regular basis, but I think that it’s in how you feel. I’m an Arizona native. I grew up in Coolidge my whole life. It’s something I’ve worn more often than not. I think that you wear it, you own it and it should not be willy-nilly about it. If I can avoid it, I try not to wear it indoors. If I am, it’s because I’m on my way to and from my office. Be respectful. I think that there’s gentlemanly rules that you should follow as much as you can.  Have you ever been called out for wearing your hat in the “wrong” place? I don’t know that I’ve been called out for wearing it in the wrong place, unless you count any time that you’re in, maybe like in a locale that it’s just not visually seen very often in person. I’m down in Rocky Point, Mexico, all the time and even during shorts season, you’ll still see me wearing it because hey, it keeps the sun out of my eyes. If it gets over 80 to 85, the felt hat gets put away and the straw hat comes on because it gets pretty darn hot. A lot of people are like, ‘Oh, it’s got to be strict Easter to Labor Day or Memorial Day to Labor Day for a straw hat.’ And I’m like, oh my God, man. I don’t know that I need to have that kind of rule.   Our other hat related stories! Cowboy hats and politics: The hats of Arizona’s senators Finchem’s hat: The mark of a gentleman     The post Sen.

Josh Gottheimer, a New Jersey Democrat, is accusing members of his own party of applying a "double standard" on antisemitism, arguing in a New York Times guest essay that Democrats have failed to forcefully condemn anti-Israel rhetoric and antisemitic comments from figures on the political left. "There should be one response to those who express hatred toward any American: condemnation," Gottheimer wrote in the essay published Sunday. "Hate is hate. It doesn’t get a pass because it comes from your side of the aisle." Gottheimer, one of Israel’s most outspoken Democratic defenders in Congress, singled out progressive political commentator Hasan Piker, accusing him of promoting "antisemitic and anti-American extremism" while continuing to receive support and public appearances from Democratic politicians. "Sadly, we’ve seen several prominent Democrats appear on his show and even campaign with him, granting his views legitimacy," Gottheimer wrote. FOX NEWS ‘ANTISEMITISM EXPOSED’ NEWSLETTER: WHO IS HASAN PIKER AND WHY CAN'T DEMOCRATS CONDEMN HIM? The congressman contrasted Democrats’ criticism of President Donald Trump over his past interactions with White nationalist Nick Fuentes and the party’s condemnation of the 2017 Charlottesville rally with what he described as reluctance to confront antisemitism originating from the far left. "Across the Democratic Party’s ideological spectrum, right-wing hate is consistently condemned," Gottheimer wrote. "But today, too many Democrats are noticeably and shamefully silent when antisemitism comes from the far left." Gottheimer said some Democrats privately acknowledge concerns about inflammatory rhetoric but avoid public criticism out of fear of backlash from progressive activists. 'CHEERLEADING FOR TERRORISM': TWITCH STAR CALLED FOR NEW 9/11, DISMISSED HORROR OF OCT 7 "I’ve spoken to congressional colleagues who have privately told me that many things Mr. Piker has said are disgusting," Gottheimer wrote. "Yet they’ll say nothing about it in public." Gottheimer listed out some of Piker's most extreme remarks, including referring to Orthodox Jews as "inbred" and America deserving 9/11, "both statements he halfheartedly walked back."  "Mr. Piker traffics in antisemitic and anti-American extremism that has been met by silence from many on the Democratic left," Gottheimer wrote. He also criticized recent actions by members of his own party toward Israel, including Senate votes opposing military equipment sales to the country amid ongoing concerns over Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza. PRO-ISRAEL DEM SAYS THOSE WHO WON'T DECRY HAMAS OVER OCT. 7 ATTACK 'HAVE NO BUSINESS' POSING AS HUMANITARIANS "Last month, most Senate Democrats voted for two measures that would have blocked sales of military equipment to Israel," Gottheimer wrote, questioning whether the shift reflected principle or political pressure from "a small but vocal and growing segment of the political left. Gottheimer further accused Democrats of disproportionately targeting Israel compared to other U.S. allies with documented human rights concerns, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Turkey. "The Democratic condemnation piled on Israel’s government is overwhelming in comparison to other allies," Gottheimer wrote. The Anti-Defamation League reported earlier this year that antisemitic incidents in the United States reached record levels in the aftermath of the Oct. 7 attacks, citing thousands of reported cases involving harassment, vandalism and assaults. Piker has defended himself against accusations of antisemitism, while calling on Democrats to be the anti-Israel party. Fox News Digital reached out to the DNC and Hasan Piker for comment, but did not immediately hear back.

Earlier this week at the Netflix Is a Joke Festival in Los Angeles, the "Seinfeld" creator took a not-so-subtle jab at "Friends," joking that the network essentially recycled his hit show — just with a more attractive cast. "Here’s my theory on ‘Friends,’" Seinfeld told the crowd at the Greek Theatre, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "My show came on — ’89, ’90. ‘Friends’ came on a few years later." LISA KUDROW STILL EARNS $20M A YEAR IN RESIDUALS FROM 'FRIENDS' MORE THAN 30 YEARS AFTER SHOW PREMIERED "I think NBC was watching my show and went, ‘Hey, this is working pretty well. Why don’t we try the same thing with good-looking people?’" "And that was a pretty good idea," he added. "I think that kind of worked." The crowd erupted as Seinfeld laughed through the punchline, which came after audience members shouted out guesses for his favorite TV series during the set. When someone yelled "Seinfeld," the comedian immediately mocked the idea. LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS "Seinfeld? I am Seinfeld. Why would I watch ‘Seinfeld?'" he joked. "Would you go up to your bathroom mirror and go, ‘This is fantastic. I love this show. I’m in every episode?’" Seinfeld also gave nods to "Breaking Bad" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" before pivoting into the now-viral "Friends" comparison. Created by Seinfeld and Larry David, "Seinfeld" premiered on NBC in 1989 and became a classic sitcom of the 1990s, starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander and Michael Richards. Five years later, NBC launched "Friends," the wildly popular New York City ensemble comedy starring Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer.  "Friends" premiered in September 1994 and aired for 10 seasons.

"It's very important to put your body in movement. She also explained that it’s important to have good posture, especially when working at a computer. Charo said she has a "great recipe for people.

"I love animals. No offense, but I love more animals than people," Charo joked. "Because we the people have a lot of issue and the animals have no issue. It’s just survive and love." Charo said that before she moved to Hawaii, she visited Farm Sanctuary’s Southern California shelter two to three times a month. ‘80S STAR KELLY LEBROCK ‘RAN AWAY’ FROM HOLLYWOOD FOR GOATS, GRANDKIDS AND SIMPLER LIFE "They're very, very special people," she said, adding that "people should go and take their children and see beautiful animals, that they have a chance to revive and survive and get to know how nice we are, the humans." The "Cuchi, Cuchi" singer called visiting the sanctuary like being on "another planet where people are extra nice, "and you see little chickens and turkeys walking around you, not afraid. You see a lot of horses. I was impressed to see a horse with glasses. I said, ‘What the hell is this? This is Hollywood.’" She said she was told the horse actually had a problem with its eyes and needed to wear protective eye wear. The Spanish native added that she grew up on a farm in Spain near a bullfighting ring, a practice she is fighting to end.  ‘GRANDMAMA FROM TENNESSEE’ REFUSES TO LET HOLLYWOOD CHANGE HER AFTER BECOMING SITCOM STAR "People don't enjoy to see the sacrifice [of] an innocent animal when they can have fun watching other things," she explained. Her love of animals even led her to adopt a young calf named Manolo who she raised at her house in Beverly Hills after filming an anti-bullfighting PSA with him. "And when the video was over, we fell in love with the bull, and we brought it to the house," she explained. "And we give it food and love." JANE SEYMOUR SAYS FAMILY VALUES ARE KEY TO HER 'SPECIAL CHEMISTRY' WITH FORMER 'DR. QUINN' CO-STAR JOE LANDO She even wrote a song for Manolo. "Manolo, baby bull, your mother was a b----. She leave you alone, but baby, don't you cry cause you find a better home," she sang, adding that Manolo danced while she sang to him. "The bull grow up here and became huge," she said. "And it was all the neighbor calling the police and tell them, we smell el toro poo poo from Charo's backyard. And I said, this is bulls--- . My baby bull wears Pampers." But she said the authorities were understanding. "God bless the police department, that they give us some time to find a home," she said, explaining that eventually Manolo moved to a place in Malibu formerly owned by John Wayne where they train horses. "Manolo became a hero," she added, saying he was the "representation of how kind these animals can be. They are kind, they cry, they feel afraid. They feel love." After Manolo left Beverly Hills, the once frustrated neighbors were "so sad," she said, "because they was coming and saying, ‘Manolo, como estas, how are you?’ So we changed Beverly Hills for a while." "And I am grateful to the police that they like Manolo and they say, ‘OK, you got to move Manolo, but take your time,’" she said. "I want to thank them … how nice they were, the police department. And at the end of the complaining, everybody loved Manolo." Asked if she’s considered getting her own farm, the busy musician answered, "One day." "I am lucky if I catch four or five hours," she said. "My life suck because I don't know how to say ‘no.’ This is a problem. When you work so hard to make it, to make your dream, and your dream is there, there, and then you wanna keep on your dream." She said she has also recently befriended some raccoons that come near her house. "Don't get near a raccoon because they told me that if they get pissed off, you're gonna get it," she warned. "So, you got to respect the distance. But at night, the raccoons come to where I live. They know where I live. They go around and they wait with patience to eat the dinner that I put there." One of the raccoons even looks like her, she joked. WATCH: Charo describes raising a bull named Manolo in Beverly Hills "He's really cute," she laughed, "and he tried to be friendly.

Don't do like me, don't get near, OK? Because they can bite you. But I noticed from my neighbor that now the raccoons are trying to be more close to the human, seriously." Charo also had advice for the younger generation, hoping that Gen Z will stay in touch with nature, remembering her own experience growing up on a farm in Spain. "The nature was kicking and alive," she said of her childhood.  As far as her career, the musician calls herself "Speedy Gonzales." "I am recording a brand new CD called The Best of Charo because people have fun with the ‘Cuchi Cuchi.’ ‘Cuchi Cuchi’ show me to the bank, thank you, but my passion is the guitar," she explained. "And I am recording now beautiful music. Music that go to your heart and make you be happy to be alive and make you happy to enjoy what nature offer us. It's going to be a huge success." ‘THE LOVE BOAT’ STAR JILL WHELAN LEARNED TO ‘NEVER SETTLE’ AFTER MARRYING 3 TIMES She’s also heading out on tour starting in June with "The Best of Charo." Reflecting on her acting career, Charo says, "the best 10 years of my life was at ‘The Love Boat.’ I get pregnant at the love boat. It was not the captain," she joked. "It was my husband.

"So they give me freedom to feel at home," she said, remembering one memorable episode where she claimed she looked like a "watermelon in heels" because she was eight months pregnant. "Aaron Spelling is the king of every people in show business," Charo stated of the show’s creator, saying he gave "each performer, actor, actress an opportunity. He will never die … He controlled all the network, but he give opportunity to actor, actress, musician, comedian, God bless him. It's the best thing ever happened to Hollywood."

"We're going to have to take a deep, hard look at the way the $40-plus billion in state Medicaid dollars are being spent," Ramaswamy told "Saturday in America" host Kayleigh McEnany. "I think the right answer is any instance of waste, fraud, abuse... deserve[s] to be prosecuted, and we intend to investigate them aggressively, as well as to prosecute aggressively, to send a deterrent signal that our government is not a piggy bank, the taxpayer is not a piggy bank to be bilked." The remarks came after a report by The Daily Wire that allegedly found 288 home healthcare companies listed at the same addresses, including locations that appeared vacant or in disrepair, with no clear signs of active business operations. GOP LAWMAKER MOVES TO BLOCK WELFARE RECIPIENTS FROM SENDING MONEY OVERSEAS: 'ABUSE ENDS NOW' Republican Gov. Mike DeWine's office disagreed with the notion of a broader systemic issue. In a statement to Fox News, they insisted Ohio "has extensive oversight mechanisms in place," noting that these include "Electronic Visit Verification for hourly care, requiring signed daily activity logs, conducting audits and surveys performing background checks on providers, and reassessing medical needs regularly..." His office also pointed to "internal agency efforts to fight waste, fraud and abuse." GOP SENATOR LAUNCHES EFFORT TO CLOSE MEDICAID LOOPHOLE ALLOWING FRAUDSTERS TO RAKE IN MILLIONS The Ohio Department of Medicaid said in a statement that it is "aware" of the concerns in Franklin County, which houses Columbus, and has been "actively investigating these matters since prior to the publication of The Daily Wire series." "Upon initial review, some of the entities mentioned in the series are no longer Ohio Medicaid providers or have not billed Medicaid in several years. Some other providers are subject to ongoing investigation," the statement added. Ramaswamy insists the state has to "look at" where the concern came from. "These are downstream policies of an overgrown federal welfare state. That's a big problem," he said. "We as a country are going to have to deal with it. They're downstream of an open border crisis under [Joe] Biden where for years millions and millions of people were crossing the southern border and finding their way to different parts of the country," he added. "We can't fix the past. We can fix the future, and one of the things that I intend to do is to just take a dispassionate look at this. It's not just responding to one news story or another as a game of whack-a-mole. The way I look at this is this is more of a broken windows theory, which means that, if you have a broken window somewhere, it's a reminder that we have to take a systematic look at the whole thing." Ramaswamy said his approach would involve redirecting savings back to taxpayers, with the aim of creating a blueprint for reform nationwide.

The event saw Sol Ruca defeat Bayley, Oba Femi take on Cody Rhodes and Je’Von Evans and Leon Slater take on AJ Styles and Dragon Lee in a tag team match. Femi later challenged and defeated Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 42 and Evans fell just short of the Intercontinental Championship at the same event. Ruca has since made it to Raw and is set to challenge Becky Lynch for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship, while Leon Slater is approaching a record X-Division Championship reign for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). It’s unclear when the event will take place, but it will add to a packed schedule the WWE has coming through the summer.

During a recent appearance on "The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon," the 22-year-old conservationist shared he was "death rolled" by a 14-foot crocodile he named Jimmy Fallon when it was a baby. "He's not a baby anymore. I named this crocodile Jimmy Fallon, like, years ago, and he's now what we call a boss croc. He's huge," Robert said. "Because we research crocodiles in the wild to, like, better conserve them, right? So the way you do that — my dad came up with this — is you actually have to jump on them." The Australian conservationist told the talk show host that after he "jumped on the back of Jimmy Fallon," the large reptile "death rolled" him. BINDI IRWIN'S EMERGENCY SURGERY TOOK UNEXPECTED TURN FORCING HER TO MISS STEVE IRWIN GALA "I jumped onto him. I kid you not, 14 foot of crocodile, big croc, death rolls me," he explained. "So I'm stuck underneath him with my arm hanging out. I've got like probably, I don't know, maybe 700 pounds on top of me. And I'm just like, "What do I do?" And luckily he rolled back the other way, and I was fine. But he's a goer." Robert is the son of beloved reality TV star and environmentalist, Steve Irwin, also known as "The Crocodile Hunter," who was known for his work trying to teach the public to respect and protect all animals. Steve died in September 2006 after a stingray's tail pierced his chest and caused a fatal injury to his heart while filming a documentary on the Great Barrier Reef, when Robert was 2 years old. Since his death, his wife, Teri, and their two children, Robert and Bindi, who was 8 years old when Steve died, have taken over his mission towards advocating for all animals and running the Australian Zoo in Queensland.

"If I can make my dad proud, I’ve done my job. Behind everything I do is a conservation mission that my dad started." Both Robert and his older sister Bindi competed on and won "Dancing with the Stars," with Bindi taking home the mirrorball trophy in 2015 during season 21 when she was 17 years old.

"Coming over from Australia, I didn't know how it would go. I didn’t think I'd make it this far, because I didn't realize how incredibly supportive America would be," he told Men's Health in December 2025. "It’s impossible to put into words how much that has meant to me, because what I represent is so much more than just a dance." LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?

I'm representing everything I stand for, not only as a wildlife conservationist, but also as someone who is working really hard to try and spread some positivity and passion," he said.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a009689a200899a00e956ff Woman who spent 7 years in Chinese prison describes torture, surveillance and loss of her husband te 2026-05-10T14:30:33.602Z Woman who spent 7 years in Chinese prison describes torture, surveillance and loss of her husband EXCLUSIVE: Wang Chunyan held a photograph toward the camera, her hands trembling slightly as she pointed to each of the 21 smiling faces: a husband and wife, a university lecturer, a young engineer, friends she met in prison. Some died in detention, she said. Others after years of abuse. Others disappeared into China’s vast security system and never returned the same. "More than 25 of my friends have died in this persecution. I only have photos of 21 of them," Chunyan said, her voice breaking. For more than two decades, the 70-year-old Falun Gong practitioner said, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) systematically dismantled her life, stripping away the business she had built, the home she once shared with her family and, eventually, seven years of her life in prison. But the hardest thing for her, is that she believes it took her husband too. "My beloved husband died due to the persecution," Chunyan claimed during an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital. REPORT DETAILS RISING PRESSURE ON UNDERGROUND CATHOLICS AS CHINA DENIES CRACKDOWN Her account comes as President Donald Trump prepares to travel to China next week for meetings with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, with trade, security and regional tensions expected to dominate the agenda. Yet behind the geopolitical rivalry lies another conflict: Beijing’s decades-long campaign against religious and spiritual groups the Communist Party views as threats to its authority. Former U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom Sam Brownback believes Wang’s story reflects a much broader struggle unfolding inside China. "Either the world changes China or China will change the world," Brownback told Fox News Digital. Brownback recently chronicled Chunyan’s story and the experiences of other survivors in his book China’s War on Faith, arguing that personal testimony can often reveal the reality of persecution more powerfully than statistics alone. "Stories are more powerful than data," he said. The book examines what Brownback describes as an increasingly sophisticated system of surveillance and repression targeting Christians, Uyghur Muslims, Tibetan Buddhists and Falun Gong practitioners. He argues the Chinese Communist Party views independent faith communities as a direct threat to its authority. "They fear religious freedom more than anything else. More than our aircraft carriers, more than our nuclear weapons, more than anything else because they think it is the biggest threat to the regime." CRUZ LEADS SENATE PUSH TO HOLD CHINA ACCOUNTABLE FOR BEIJING CHURCH CRACKDOWN Chunyan story started in the late 1990s, when she suffered from severe insomnia, sometimes sleeping only two or three hours a night. Then her older sister introduced her to Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, a spiritual practice ,she says, is centered on meditation exercises and teachings rooted in "truthfulness, compassion and tolerance." The movement spread rapidly across China during the 1990s, attracting tens of millions of followers before Beijing banned it in 1999, portraying it as a threat to Communist Party control. Chunyan says Falun Gong helped improve her "physical condition." She said, "My business was booming. My family was happy. My life was perfect." Chunyan became convinced the practice had saved her life. She owned a successful company selling chemical production equipment and had become wealthy by Chinese standards, but after the crackdown began she felt compelled to publicly defend Falun Gong against what she believed were government lies. She bought a printing press and began distributing leaflets. Soon afterward, she said, surveillance followed everywhere. "The buildings where I worked were under constant surveillance," Chunyan recalled. "I left to escape and was afraid to come home." GRAHAM FAMILY RESPONDS TO GLOBAL CRACKDOWN ON CHRISTIANS WITH $1.3M DEFENSE FUND AND URGENT CALL TO ACTION For years, she lived in hiding, using prepaid calling cards and public telephones to secretly arrange meetings with her husband, Yu Yefu, in restaurants, coffee shops and hotels across the city. The two tried, briefly, to maintain some sense of normalcy. Yu himself never practiced Falun Gong, but police repeatedly pressured him to reveal where his wife was hiding. He never did. Then, in 2002, Wang stopped hearing from him. When she finally returned home, she found him unconscious. Doctors could not save him. "He protected me," she said in tears. He was 49 years old when he died. Their daughter was still in college. The devastation spread through the family afterward, Chunyan said. Her mother-in-law stopped eating and later became paralyzed. Her father-in-law died from grief. Her sisters were also imprisoned and tortured. Then came Chunyan’s own imprisonment. WATCHDOG HIGHLIGHTS NATIONS WHERE CHRISTIANS FACE PERSECUTION AROUND THE GLOBE She described years of forced labor, sleep deprivation and physical abuse. At one point, she said, the torture became so severe that she fainted three times in a single day. One memory still haunts her most. Shortly before her release from prison, Wang said authorities conducted unexplained blood tests and medical examinations. At the time, fellow inmates told her the government was simply checking on Falun Gong prisoners before release. Only later, after learning about allegations of forced organ harvesting involving detained Falun Gong practitioners, did she begin to fear why the testing may have happened. "I was horrified," Chunyan said. Today, Chunyan lives in the United States, having left China in 2013 and eventually making her way through Thailand before arriving in America in 2015. Yet decades later, the losses remain immediate to her. "There are millions of families in China like ours," Chunyan wants the world to know, "Persecuted by the CCP." In a statement to Fox News Digital, Chinese Embassy spokesperson Liu Pengyu rejected the allegations and defended Beijing’s actions against Falun Gong. "The aforementioned remarks are nothing but malicious fabrications and sensational lies," Liu said. "Falun Gong is a cult organization that is anti-humanity, anti-science and anti-society. It is hostile toward religion, endangers the public, and serves as a malignant tumor within society." Liu argued that "the Chinese government outlawed the Falun Gong cult in accordance with the law, thereby safeguarding the fundamental human rights and freedoms of the vast majority of the Chinese people."

Miller). Changes are coming to the Sunnyslope Post Office, located at 9635 N. 7th St., that may have an impact on the timing of mail delivery. Residents were told that, beginning in June, mail carriers would relocate from Sunnyslope to a new postal center on Bell Road in north Phoenix. While a U.S. Postal Service spokesperson would not confirm the timeline of the change, nor how this move will impact mail delivery, they provided a statement that read in part, “The Postal Service is opening a new Sorting and Delivery Center (S&DC) in the North Valley area of Phoenix by repurposing an existing postal-owned building. Sorting and Delivery Centers utilize existing postal-owned facilities where significant upgrades are implemented, often addressing deferred maintenance. “The existing infrastructure at our North Valley facility allows for efficient repurposing into an S&DC, minimizing disruption while maximizing operational gains. This new S&DC will consolidate delivery operations by relocating carriers from two stations into this centralized hub to improve operational efficiency and service reliability.” For those who have post office boxes at the Sunnyslope location or utilize other services, the spokesperson added, “Importantly, the move does not affect retail services or PO box access at local post offices. Customers will continue to use their neighborhood locations as usual.” They added that this initiative is part of the Postal Service’s broader Modernization and Transformation Plan, “aimed at strengthening long-term service reliability and enhancing employee work environments through facility upgrades.” Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a00944ea200899a00e9569c Democrats Search Desperately for a Response After Virginia Map Is Tossed te 2026-05-10T14:21:02.720Z Democrats Search Desperately for a Response After Virginia Map Is Tossed A private conversation involving House members from Virginia and the top House Democrat reflected the fury and desperation that has gripped the party after Friday’s ruling.

The former Bond girl and "Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman" star recently told Women’s World how she was going for a glam moment at the Oscars in 1981, but it backfired. "I’ve always had long hair, and it used to be so long I could sit on it, but I can’t believe that I ever frizzed my hair out!" the star told the outlet. JAMIE LEE CURTIS IMMEDIATELY 'REGRETTED' HER PLASTIC SURGERY AFTER CRUEL COMMENTS WERE MADE ABOUT HER LOOKS "…My hairdresser decided to do the big hair, and a critic said that I looked like ‘50 pounds of mildewed mattress stuffing,’" the 75-year-old actress recalled. "I’ve never forgotten that." But not everyone was shaking their heads. Seymour said that after the Oscars, Ralph Lauren contacted her team and asked who did her hair. "I didn’t want to throw my hairdresser under the bus, so at first I said I did it myself, but they were actually hoping they could copy the look for their new fashion show," she said. "I gave them my hairdresser’s contact, and that started a trend, sadly." WATCH: JANE SEYMOUR SAYS SHE’S ‘IN MY PRIME RIGHT NOW’ AT 74 Seymour may not be reviving big ’80s hair anytime soon, but she’s not afraid of a throwback. "I like to shop in my own closet," she shared. "I was going to toss all my clothes with big shoulder pads, but I ended up keeping them because everything comes back. I always say not to throw anything away." "I’ve recently been on the red carpet wearing things that I first wore 20 or 30 years ago, and they’re all back in style now," Seymour shared. "I look at what’s in style and see how I can put a look together with clothes I already have. It’s like my sport." Seymour previously told Fox News Digital she has maintained the same size since age 17. "I am now the size I was when I was 17 and a ballet dancer," she said. "I try to stay around the same weight, but without going crazy about it. I have gotten bigger [over the years], but I never gained more than 10 pounds. I was smaller when I was in [1988’s] ‘War and Remembrance’ and when I was playing Wallis Simpson, where I had to be crazy thin, which is not a healthy weight for me. It makes my immune system weak." CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER The star noted she’s always been mindful of maintaining healthy habits over the years. "I almost never have breakfast," said Seymour. "I will have liquids and my vitamins. I’ve got this vitamin combination that has collagen. I’ll have that in the morning and either black tea, coffee or water. And then at lunchtime, I’ll have a fabulous meal, whatever I want, pretty much. I tend to like salmon, shrimp and grilled vegetables. And I love Italian food. I might have a little eggplant Parmesan; it’s a favorite of mine. Maybe some lean chicken." Seymour noted that the one thing she "almost never" eats is steak, but she does make exceptions. "Once in a while, I’ll have a little bit of filet steak, maybe a couple of slices. I’m not against it. But I feel better usually when eating fish and lots of vegetables. I grow a lot of my food in my garden, a lot of it in pots, actually. It keeps the bugs out. I have lettuce, arugula, artichokes, avocados, blueberries and strawberries. Also, lots of different types of kale. I love eating fresh vegetables. When I grill my vegetables, I add a little bit of olive oil and sometimes a sprinkle of salt." Like anyone else, Seymour has her guilty pleasures. She loves anything that’s "crunchy and salty." To satisfy her cravings, she’ll eat "a crispy sweet potato." "I feel like I’m eating a bag of chips, but it’s actually sweet potato," said Seymour. "I also like to take raw pumpkin seeds, put a little bit of Tamari Lite [gluten-free soy sauce that has less sodium], put them in a non-stick pan, and toast them. I like to toss them around in the pan until they swell and pop. Pistachio nuts are also a favorite go-to snack. So mostly, I make sure to eat my nutrients and vitamins in my food if I can." The actress also revealed that it’s important for her to stay active daily. However, she listens to her body about what it needs each day. LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS "I work with a lady… it’s almost like physiotherapy, but it’s a workout. I do Gyrotonics and some Pilates — a lot of floor work, believe it or not, even though I’m on a bench. But everything I do, anyone else can do at home, in a hotel room, their living room, their garden — anywhere where you can put a yoga mat down. I do Pilates legwork, which is like doing some of my ballet. I can use my own weight or a ballet bar." "I’m also a believer in light weights," she shared. "I’ll have an eight-pound or a five-pound weight in each hand. I’ll do arm work while I’m doing my legs. And the beauty of Pilates, Gyrotonics or even ballet is that it’s all about being able to do it properly. It’s not something where you rush in and jump around and can easily get injured." "I’m very careful about doing the right technique," she said. "If I can’t do too much, if I can’t stretch too much that day, that’s fine. I just do as much as my body is comfortable doing because I don’t want to injure myself. I had back surgery a long time ago. That’s a nemesis for me. So I listen to my body." Seymour said she likes workouts that can be done anywhere, rather than heading to the gym. Pilates, in particular, has been essential to her for maintaining a strong core. "If you have core strength, you are less likely to have back injuries or back problems," she said. "You are also more likely to look better up close. You’ll be able to stand more properly. The core is everything. And looking back at my ballet training, that was all about the core." Today, Seymour said she’s grateful to get up and move each day. "I think a lot of women suffer from being invisible," she said. "You were married, you had the job, and you had kids. But now, who am I? What’s my purpose? Where do I belong in this world? But you can be a full-blooded human being at any age. It’s a choice you make for yourself."

In an April 29 news release, the Coast Guard said the vessel was found roughly 50 miles off the coast of Cornwall, the southwestern tip of the United Kingdom. A British technical diving team called Gasperados found the wreck — which was at a depth "exceeding 300 feet," officials said. 'NATIONAL TREASURE' HONORING US COAST GUARD TO FEATURE PRICELESS ARTIFACTS, WWII SHIP In 1918, the ship was torpedoed by a German submarine and sank within three minutes. All 131 people aboard died, including 111 Coast Guardsmen, 16 British Navy personnel and civilians, and four U.S. Navy personnel. "When the Tampa was lost with all hands in 1918, it left an enduring grief in our service," Kevin Lunday, commandant of the Coast Guard, said in a statement. "Locating the wreck connects us to their sacrifice and reminds us that devotion to duty endures. We will always remember them. We are proud to carry their spirit forward in defense of the United States." DIVERS DISCOVER VINTAGE CAR IN WWII SHIPWRECK Officials said the discovery was three years in the making. The Coast Guard Historian's Office was contacted by Gasperados divers about locating the wreck in 2023, and the two worked together to confirm the site. "Over the past three years, the all-volunteer team conducted an extensive search for the wreckage," the release noted. Looking ahead, the Coast Guard is planning further underwater research at the site. DEADLY SHIPWRECK UNCOVERED BY FORMER MILITARY PILOT WHO SPOTTED ONE HISTORIC CLUE Multiple clues pointed to Tampa's final resting place, said William Thiesen, a Coast Guard Atlantic Area historian. Thiesen told Fox News Digital that, at the time, contemporaries recorded key clues about the sinking — including a U-boat commander's reported position, accounts from Tampa's convoy hearing an explosion and an aircraft spotting debris and logging coordinates. "The problem was many of the bearings and locations noted had to be cross-referenced with wrecks on the sea floor," the historian said. "Until the Gasperados volunteered for the mission to find Tampa three years ago, the task seemed impossible." DEADLY SHIPWRECK UNCOVERED BY FORMER MILITARY PILOT WHO SPOTTED ONE HISTORIC CLUE Thiesen added that the dive team dealt with low water visibility and poor weather conditions, as well as "very deep water." "There are countless wreck sites in that region to complicate the search process," he said. "Before finding the current site, the Gasperados located other wrecks believed to be Tampa that proved to be fishing vessels or other sunken wrecks. These obstacles seemed insurmountable, but the group pushed on for over three years." Researchers confirmed the wreck using detailed historical records — and Thiesen said the site is being treated "with the utmost respect for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for this country and our allies." He added, "The Gasperados, who located the site, adhere to the strictest standards of respect for the wreck site and the losses it represents." "Any plans for the future will also be carried out with the utmost respect for the site and its integrity."

The actress who played sultry exchange student Nadia in 1999’s "American Pie" has launched an OnlyFans account. She earned more than $1.2 million in her first week, Variety reported. "Now is the right time for me to launch my OnlyFans for a few reasons," the 52-year-old told Fox News Digital. "I’m going through a divorce, and I’m in a phase of rebuilding, rebuilding myself and my life — fresh starts." 'AMERICAN PIE' ACTRESS WALKED AWAY FROM HOLLYWOOD FAME FOR NEW LIFE IN SOUTH AFRICA "As I’m embarking on this new chapter in my life, it’s the most empowered I’ve felt in a very long time," she said. "This is the first time in so long that I’m really excited about what’s going to come and what’s happening every day. It’s about enjoying the journey. I feel like I’m on this amazing adventure now, and I’m really enjoying every minute of it." "A lot of us, for a long time, were searching for something," the star said. "... And I finally feel like I’m in a space where I’m enjoying the journey every day, and I’m going to do everything I can to make everyone proud and excited and to bring them along for the journey. ... It’s really one of the best times of my life right now." The subscription platform allows creators to charge directly for their content. It attracts celebrities, athletes and other public figures as a way to interact with fans and monetize those exchanges. Previously, many sex workers joined the site during the pandemic as an alternative to in-person venues and interactions. WATCH: ‘AMERICAN PIE’ STAR LAUNCHES ONLYFANS, EMBRACES ‘FRESH START’ OnlyFans has been lucrative for some people, allowing them to earn thousands every month, The Associated Press reported. The company has reported making billions of dollars annually in gross revenue and has hundreds of millions of users. "I’m absolutely exploring what my boundaries are going to be on the platform," Elizabeth said. "I don’t even know yet because I’m still getting comfortable with myself and with chatting and just filming all the time. ... I don’t know where it’s all going to go, so I guess we’re going to find that out together." The "Scary Movie" alum said she’s been inspired by her encounters with fans at Comic-Con appearances. "I wanted to do something where I could connect with them even further and have more of that personal connection day to day," she said. "I’ve never been one to do daily content about my life, but for years I’ve been thinking about it." "The content that I will be creating, and have been creating, is my life," she said. "It’s every day. It’s everything — getting ready with me from the beginning, to going to an event to going to bed at night. I’m just trying to be an open book and share my life." Following the success of "American Pie," Elizabeth appeared in popular comedies in the early 2000s, including "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" and "Love Actually," among others. But it was "American Pie," which followed a group of high school friends determined to lose their virginity before graduation, that skyrocketed her to fame.

"I am naturally a shy person [who] has to make an effort to come out of [my] shell. It doesn’t always seem that way, but I really do. But I think with a lot of actors, you find that people say they flip a switch, and they turn it on, and when they’re done working, they turn it off. Doing content like this about my life is very different." "... I’m slowly getting more used to letting my guard down," she said. "Not worrying about hair and makeup all the time — just showing that other side of me that people don’t always get to see, that they never get to see." "I’m trying to get more comfortable sharing all sides of myself like that," Elizabeth added. Having personal connections with fans isn’t new to Elizabeth. After "American Pie" premiered, the pinup had a website where she would chat with users. She also described doing a livestream with Maxim. It was so popular that the servers shut down, and it "crashed the system," said Elizabeth. She has even messaged back followers on social media. "I’ve met some incredible people, even on Facebook direct messaging, over the last, probably, 20 years?" she said. "It’s been a long time with some people. I recognize the names now, and some people I’ve met in person [at conventions]. I’ve met incredible people that way. So, with this, it’s all about chatting, seeing what people want and sharing a part of my life that I’ve never shared before." "It’s quite exciting when people think that I’m not going to respond to them when they send a message," she laughed. "I can feel their excitement when I’m talking to them, even if it’s on an Instagram post or something like that." LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?

"I know people do make assumptions about creators on the platform," she said. "But I don’t go looking for it. And people have been nothing but really supportive and kind to me. ... I’m really happy doing it. I’m really having so much fun. I’m connecting with people. And I think no matter what you do in any industry, there’s always going to be people who don’t support you, who want to bring you down or who criticize you." Elizabeth’s new project does have a wild side. Some of the content she’ll be producing will benefit her conservation charity, the Shannon Elizabeth Foundation. She launched it in 2018 and now calls South Africa home. WATCH: SHANNON ELIZABETH REFLECTS ON ‘AMERICAN PIE’ AND NEW MISSION "I think when you have so many people gathered in one space, you can’t help but use that to give back and do something for the greater good," she said. "It’s just a win-win because everything always comes back to my charity for me." One piece of advice Elizabeth would give to another actress considering OnlyFans is simple: just do it. "Absolutely do it," she gushed. "It’s been an incredible experience. And if you don’t like it, you just stop. That’s the beauty of it. The control’s in your hands. So if you want to do it for one month, do it for a month. See if you like it. In fact, I have already started talking to some friends about getting on the platform with me, and a lot of people are starting to consider it." "[This is] something that we wanted to do 25 years ago, but the technology wasn’t there yet," she said. "Now the technology is there. I just wish I’d done it sooner."

Just ask Sungjae Im. During Saturday's action at the Truist Championship, the two-time PGA Tour winner found himself in a greenside bunker on the par-5 15th hole. While the bunker shot appeared to be a straightforward one with plenty of green to work with, he caught the equator of the golf ball and air-mailed the putting surface. What happened next was both insane, and more than a little unlucky. BRYSON DECHAMBEAU DETAILS THE TWO COMPLICATED HURDLES IN HIS WAY OF A POTENTIAL PGA TOUR RETURN Im's ball ultimately crashed into the grandstand behind the green, and while at first glance it appeared he was going to get a great break with his golf ball staying on the green, it ultimately trickled back into the same bunker he had just hit his third shot from. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Both Im and his playing partner, Tommy Fleetwood, understandably looked baffled at what they just witnessed. Im went on to hit his next bunker shot to 15 feet, but missed his par putt and walked away with a bogey six on the hole. The grandstands surrounding greens at PGA Tour events have received criticism over the years as they provide a backstop for players. More often than not, whenever a player's golf ball hits the grandstand, it typically saves them from disaster, usually resulting in relief from the structure or a fortunate bounce closer to the putting surface. Im began Saturday's third round of the signature event atop the leaderboard, but finds himself trailing leader Alex Fitzpatrick by four shots heading into the final round on Sunday. Fitzpatrick earned his PGA Tour card in April after he and his brother, Matthew Fitzpatrick, won the Zurich Classic team event in dramatic fashion.

As Rollins got back into the ring, Breakker hit him with a spear. While Rollins wasn’t out of it completely, he went up to the middle rope for an Avalanche Stomp. But Breakker hit Rollins with a spear as "The Visionary" came off the rope. He then setup a groggy Rollins in the middle of the ring, bounced off the ropes to gain momentum and nailed Rollins with a torpedo spear.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a00886fa200899a00e95506 Why last year's breach is this year's identity fraud te 2026-05-10T13:30:23.052Z Why last year's breach is this year's identity fraud Identity fraud is rising in the United States, but the timing does not always line up with the breach behind it. Consumers lost $27.3 billion to traditional identity fraud in 2025, according to Javelin Strategy & Research's 2026 Identity Fraud Study. That followed a sharp 19% jump in 2024, when losses reached $27.2 billion. FTC identity theft reports also climbed in 2025. Reports through the first nine months of the year had already topped the full-year total for 2024. The FTC received more than 1.1 million identity theft reports in 2024, according to the agency's Consumer Sentinel data. The problem is that breach notices are becoming a regular part of life, even though the risks can last long after the notice arrives. The Identity Theft Resource Center logged a record 3,322 U.S. data compromises in 2025. In a separate consumer survey, the ITRC found that 80% of consumers received at least one breach notice in the previous 12 months. Among those consumers, 88% experienced at least one negative consequence afterward, including account takeover attempts. Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy Report 5 MYTHS ABOUT IDENTITY THEFT THAT PUT YOUR DATA AT RISK Stolen identity records often take time to turn into fraud. After a major breach, the data can move through criminal markets in stages. It may be sold to brokers, combined with information from earlier leaks and resold to fraud rings that build more complete identity profiles. That means a Social Security number stolen in 2024 may not be used to open a fraudulent credit line or file a fake tax return until 2026 or later. By then, the free credit monitoring offered after the breach may have expired. The breach itself may also be long gone from the headlines. UnitedHealth confirmed in January 2025 that about 190 million people were affected by the Change Healthcare breach. The incident exposed personal and health information, making it the largest known healthcare data breach in U.S. history. Affected consumers were offered two years of free credit monitoring and identity theft protection. The enrollment deadline was Aug. 26, 2025. National Public Data, a background-check broker, was tied to a massive breach in 2024. Up to 2.9 billion records were reportedly exposed, though not all were unique or verified. The exposed information reportedly included Social Security numbers, addresses and relatives' information. AT&T disclosed in July 2024 that hackers stole call and text records tied to about 109 million customer accounts. The stolen data included details about calls and texts, such as the numbers contacted and the timing of those communications, but not the content of the calls or messages. The incident involved data stored on a third-party cloud platform and was part of a wider Snowflake-linked campaign that also affected other companies. HOSPICE FRAUD USES STOLEN IDENTITIES FOR FAKE PATIENTS Stolen identity data can feed several types of fraud. Some of these scams take months or years to show up on a credit report, tax filing or insurance record. Criminals combine a real Social Security number with a fake name and date of birth. They use that profile to open new credit lines, build trust and drain the accounts later. Thieves use stolen Social Security numbers to file fake tax returns in someone else's name. Victims often find out only when their real return gets rejected. Criminals use stolen personal or health insurance information to submit insurance claims for care the victim never received. Some victims do not notice until they get a bill, hit an insurance limit or see a collections notice. Thieves open credit cards, auto loans or utility accounts using stolen identities. Victims may discover it only after checking their credit report. Criminals use stolen usernames and passwords to break into your existing email, shopping, banking or financial accounts. They often use automated tools to test that same login information across multiple websites. WHY A CREDIT FREEZE ISN’T THE END OF IDENTITY THEFT After a breach, you are often told to freeze your credit, accept the free monitoring offer and watch your statements. Each step can help, but each one has limits. Free credit monitoring offered after a breach usually lasts one or two years. That can expire around the time stolen data starts to show up in new fraud attempts. A credit freeze can block new accounts from being opened in your name. However, it will not stop every type of fraud. It does not prevent someone from filing a fake tax return with your Social Security number. It also does not stop fraudulent medical bills or takeover attempts on your existing accounts. One-time dark web scans have limits, too. They show where your data appears at one point in time. They don't tell you where it may show up next. Once a Social Security number is in criminal markets, it can keep circulating. If your information was exposed in a breach, these steps can help you lower your risk and catch suspicious activity sooner. A credit freeze can help stop criminals from opening new credit cards, loans or other accounts in your name. You need to place a freeze with each of the three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. You can temporarily lift the freeze when you need to apply for credit. If you used the same password on more than one account, change it right away. Criminals often test stolen usernames and passwords across many websites. A password manager can help you create strong, unique passwords for every account. Review bank statements, credit card charges, insurance claims and explanation of benefits statements. Look for accounts, charges, claims or services you do not recognize. Medical identity theft can be easy to miss until a bill or collections notice arrives. Review your credit reports for new accounts or hard inquiries you do not recognize. You can check your reports for free at AnnualCreditReport.com. If you spot something suspicious, report it quickly and follow the dispute process with the credit bureau. Paid identity theft protection services monitor your personal data on an ongoing basis. The goal is to shorten the time between when stolen data gets used and when you notice something is wrong. Look for a service that monitors all three major credit bureaus, scans the dark web and alerts you to suspicious changes tied to your identity. Some services also monitor data broker sites, identity verification activity, home title records and financial accounts. Three-bureau credit alerts can help catch new-account fraud. Dark web and data broker monitoring can help spot repackaged records. Account-change alerts can help flag takeover attempts. No service can undo the original breach, but ongoing monitoring can give you a better chance of catching suspicious activity early. See my tips and best picks on Best Identity Theft Protection at CyberGuy.com. A breach notice can feel like yesterday's problem once the headlines fade and the free monitoring runs out. But stolen personal data does not expire. Criminals can hold onto it, mix it with other leaked records and use it long after you have stopped thinking about the original breach. That is why identity protection needs to last longer than the breach notice. Freezing your credit, using strong passwords, turning on multifactor authentication and watching your accounts all help. But identity fraud is often a long game. The sooner you spot suspicious activity, the faster you can act before the damage spreads. Should companies have to provide identity protection for as long as stolen data can be used against you? Let us know by writing to us at Cyberguy.com.

For anyone who has little ones and is responsible for making sure they have a gift for your better half, I hope you were on top of that and are scrambling to find something this morning. I've been there before. I don’t remember ever forgetting entirely or running out on the morning of Mother's Day to grab something from the kids, but it has snuck up on me before and I have done some last minute brainstorming for a gift idea. Not this year. I was all over it. We were out and my wife pointed something out that she wouldn’t mind having for Christmas. I took a picture, got with the older two, and executed a flawless gameplan. I had the gift by Friday morning and Mother's Day taken care of without having to grab a gift card or an Edible Arrangement or something on Saturday. It's happened before and it will happen again as long as legendary Milwaukee Brewers fan Front Row Amy is still able to show up to the ballpark for home games. A prospect's Major League Baseball debut will be dominated by her. On Friday, it was New York Yankees prospect Spencer Jones who had his debut dominated by the Brewers biggest fan. As my dad said in the family group chat, "Welcome to the bigs." And as one of my brothers pointed out, Jones is "Definitely not in Double A anymore." No, he's not in Double A anymore and looking back, Jones didn’t stand a chance in his big league debut. Front Row Amy was ready for the bright lights of the Yankees prospect and so was "some dildo throwing 104," as my brother so eloquently put it about the pitching that greeted the 6-foot-7 outfielder. That's right, the respect for the game is generational in our family. He was 0-for-2 with a walk and two strikeouts on Friday night. He went hitless again on Saturday and added two more strikeouts to his total. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Haters of love might see Justin Herbert's appearance in his girlfriend Madison Beer's "lovergirl" music video as part of a humiliation ritual. They might say that he should be focusing on preparing for the upcoming season and getting the Los Angeles Chargers over the hump. You could even hear some saying he should be in the weight room and not prancing around playing patty-cake with his girlfriend. You won’t hear that out of me. Herbert's not going through the motions and pretending to be a relationship with a pop singer like some aging tight end. He isn't just in a Madison Beer music video, he's continuing to give the NFL a real relationship to root for. How can you not support that? Plus, it's not like Beer isn’t known for her own MVP-worthy performances. She is, and when you're striving for greatness, you surround yourself with greatness. Chargers fans have nothing to worry about. The fact that Herbert is taking time during the offseason to appear in a music video is a good thing. It shows he's not worried about continuously falling short or the fact that the franchise appears to be cursed. You can't perform with the weight of an entire franchise on your shoulders. You can if you're running around in a music video with your girlfriend without a care in the world.

This year the year got away from me. But with some college buddies in town visiting, I managed to sneak in a cross-town double-header. First stop: Point Loma Nazarene University. The parking lot sits right above the Pacific, with the ballfield another 50 feet up the bluffs. There is almost zero foul territory at Carroll B. Land Stadium - several times, there were wild pitches or passed balls with a runner on third - not once did the runner even pretend to be headed home. With the backstop maybe 12 feet behind home plate, the catcher just turns and waits for the rebound. (Although I do hate getting stuck in the Uecker seats all the way back in the fifth (and final) row ...) Anyway, the Sea Lions had already clinched the PacWest season tite and top seeding in the conference playoffs. I had to leave in the top of the fifth, with PLNU leading 9-4, and they ended up winning by that score - and, I saw later, also won the nightcap. Across town at San Diego State, the Aztecs were playing Nevada for the Mountain West regular season title. They'd won Friday night to pull out of a tie with the Wolfpack. By coming back to win Saturday night, the Aztecs clinched the title - among their final conference titles in the Mountain West as they join the revamped Pac-12 this summer. So now four of our local college baseball teams are off to their conference playoffs, with UCSD in third place in the Big West, and Cal State San Marcos with the #2 seed in the CCAA Conference.. (USD finished a distant 8th in the WCC,) - Mick in Atlantic Beach, NC writes: Hi SeanJo. Love your stuff. A plug for Lacrosse (lax). Great game: fast, high scoring, contact akin to hockey. Open field play like soccer. Typical score might be 15-12. Lots of the goals are assisted - some great passing. Some of the highlights will fit nicely on OK. One recently had a behind the back assist resulting in a behind the back shot and score. Both guys were on the move and being guarded. Bang-bang stuff. I predict that you and your readers will get hooked in for the start of next season (in early spring). The broader market is largely missing this game. It's has grown from a kind of elite northeastern game 20 years ago to countrywide now. Not just colleges, but High schools and youth clubs in all directions. Late season now, conference tournaments just ending. But prime time to show out.  Just now time for the big dance. NCAA tournament starts (selection Sunday today) this week, with final four at end of May. Championship game traditionally mid-day. None of this 9pm start crap. NC game on Memorial Day, with Semis on Saturday before. - Gen X Warren M writes: Hey SeanJo, My wife got some fresh Florida corn on the cob (a lot was destroyed by the freeze in early February, so prices are high), so we made up some Mexican street corn and grilled some cheeseburgers as an early Memorial Day weekend cookout.

Phones may be corroding our social fabric as we know it.  Fox News contributor Tyrus and bodybuilder Dr. Mike Israetel explored the growing grip technology has on modern life during a recent episode of the "Planet Tyrus" podcast.  "Could you put your phone down for the weekend?" Tyrus asked Israetel. "A lot of people, they would get anxiety."  "If Wi-Fi went out tomorrow — chaos."   MOST AMERICANS ARE DOING ONE NIGHTLY ACTIVITY THAT'S WRECKING THEIR SLEEP, EXPERT SAYS The two discussed broader concerns about the impact of constant connectivity on human relationships and social development.  "Some fraction, at least, of the population doesn’t have a lot of close friends," Israetel said.  Data suggests the rate of isolation is rising. A 2021 survey by the Survey Center on American Life found that the percentage of Americans reporting no close friends increased from 3% in 1990 to 12% in 2021.  Mental health struggles appear to be climbing at the same time. A 2026 Gallup poll found that roughly 19% of Americans reported currently having or being treated for depression — an increase of nearly nine percentage points since 2015. Tyrus pointed to what he described as a "cultural shift," particularly among younger generations.  "It’s made so easy for young men not to do s--- now," Tyrus said, arguing that comfort and convenience have reduced the pressure to become independent.  That convenience, the two suggested, may come at a cost. With instant access to answers, navigation and entertainment, people may be losing opportunities to develop problem-solving skills and resilience. WAKE-UP CALL: LANDMARK SOCIAL MEDIA RULING EXPOSES ADDICTIVE ALGORITHMS AS TEEN SURVEY HIGHLIGHTS DANGERS Tyrus recalled a recent discussion he had with his wife about how days seemed to feel shorter.   "I think because the time that we used to figure things out or go to the store or go on a walk is now on your phone," Israetel said, adding that many people are still struggling to adapt to the sheer volume of digital content.   "There’s just too much input stream," Israetel said.  Tyrus questioned whether society may eventually push back against continuous digital immersion.  RESTAURANTS BAN DINERS' PHONES DURING MEALS AS NO-SCROLL TREND GROWS: PUT IT AWAY OR ELSE "Do you think it’s gonna kick back?" he asked, wondering if people might eventually return to more traditional, less technology-dominated ways of living.  Israetel suggested the opposite may happen first — even deeper submersion. He predicted that artificial intelligence assistants could soon handle most digital interactions, eliminating the need to scroll or click. Still, he noted, those same systems could encourage users to step away. "Why don’t we unplug?" an AI assistant might suggest. Watch the full interview and subscribe to "Planet Tyrus" on YouTube.

In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, the restaurateur and owner of New York City's new Bar Rocco – whose philosophy and cookbooks are rooted in health-conscious dieting – shared a few misconceptions about healthy eating, especially when the end goal is weight loss. "There is no one fix, there's no one cure for everyone," he said. "Everyone has different needs and their weight-loss journey is going to be different. So, you really have to figure out what your problem is." WEIGHT LOSS DRUGS ARE CHANGING DINING AS CUSTOMERS EAT HALF THEIR MEALS, TAKE REST HOME, CELEBRITY CHEF SAYS This could be a body composition imbalance, a lack of exercise or a generally poor diet, DiSpirito mentioned. "Figure out what will help you address those issues most quickly," he advised. "Even if you're working out, unless you're LeBron James and burning 8,000 calories a game, there's no way to out-train a bad diet, so at some point in our lives, we have to come to a reckoning with what we consume." DiSpirito says it's "always a good idea" to start with the basics, including consuming less sugar, less alcohol, fewer processed foods and fewer processed carbs, as well as eating more protein. DOCTOR REVEALS SECRETS TO LASTING WEIGHT LOSS WITHOUT COUNTING CALORIES The chef revealed that the No. 1 issue he's witnessed is that people have "no idea how many calories they're consuming." "We're all consuming two to three times more than we realize," he noted. "And even when we count and use the apps, there's a lot of fuzzy math going on." "So, getting a handle on how much you're consuming, even the little picking that you do while you're cooking and cleaning, all that counts and adds up quickly." SIMPLE WEIGHT-LOSS QUIZ MAY PINPOINT WHY SOME DIETS FAIL — AND HOW TO BOOST SUCCESS As the healthy eating movement gains traction, DiSpirito called it "very important" for most of the U.S., as the country faces an "obesity issue." "Restaurants are definitely thinking about it as well," he said. "[But] I wouldn't say restaurants are making it their [top] priority." CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES "We still have a lot of work to do just getting people in and seated and fed and their checks to them when they want. But there are some restaurants that are focused on it." Privately, DiSpirito said he has focused on providing healthy meal plans for clients. "But for restaurants to approach healthy eating is a little difficult, because it's a whole different kind of cooking and a [different] kind of energy," he said. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER "Healthy eating isn't fun – so to bring that into a fun atmosphere is kind of difficult. It's difficult to mix the two." This crossroads between indulgence and health may be a tricky mix, especially among the food supply in America, DiSpirito acknowledged – but the two align more easily in other countries where the food is not tampered with, he added. "If you go to Italy, for example, and just eat everything they eat, it feels indulgent ... and it's also very healthy," he said. "And the key is the food supply is still natural. It's still organic." TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ "There aren't lots of sprayed food [or] sprayed vegetables in Italy," DiSpirito went on. "They don't allow a lot of messing around with food that we allow in the United States, the GMO-ing, the modifying." "So healthy and indulgent are not mutually exclusive, but in [our] food supply system ... it's very difficult."

I’m a detransitioner, an advocate and, now, a mother. When I was a teenager, I believed that I was a boy trapped in a girl’s body. I found this idea online. For me, it was the blogging platform Tumblr. Today, it’s TikTok, Instagram and other platforms, whose algorithms promote inappropriate content to vulnerable children. The platforms may be different, but the social contagion is the same. I was a young, struggling, questioning teen. I was extremely open about my mental health and self-esteem issues on these platforms, and before I knew it, the wrong people were eager to convince me exactly what was wrong — namely, that I was born in the wrong body — and how I could supposedly fix myself. The apparent "fix"? To start identifying as my "true self" and medicalizing myself down that path. PRISHA MOSLEY: DOCTORS TOOK MY BODY APART FOR GENDER ‘CARE.’ NOW THEY ADMIT IT WAS WRONG The trans community felt like a place where I finally made sense. It was full of people who, like me, felt out of place in their own lives. People who told me I wasn’t broken or confused — just misunderstood. I really trusted them. I trusted the trans activists who said that my suffering was due to my innate transness. And above all else, I trusted the doctors and therapists who told me that transition was the only way forward. That misplaced trust cost me more than I could have ever imagined. I spent years on high-dose testosterone. I underwent a double mastectomy. These interventions were presented to me as necessary and caused permanent damage before I was even old enough to grasp what permanence meant. And now, as a mother, I understand that loss differently. Motherhood changes you. It changes how you weigh the cost of decisions. It sharpens your sense of what matters and what doesn’t. It forces you to think beyond yourself and to consider not just who you are, but what you are able to give. There are so many moments now, mostly while holding my child, when the weight of those decisions feels heavier than it ever did before. Among those things is what was taken from me physically: It affects my future, my health and my ability to fully show up as the mother I want to be. DETRANSITIONER TOUTS $2-MILLION LANDMARK MALPRACTICE RULING AS GOOD START, BUT ‘NOT NEARLY ENOUGH’ For example, my scarred chest where my breasts once were is numb. Something I think about often is that laying my baby on my chest and lighting my chest on fire would feel the exact same way to me: like nothing. If not for the doctors and therapists who pushed me down the path of medical transition when I was most vulnerable, I would be able to feel my sweet baby’s head on my chest. Worse than the numbness was the searing pain of complications from the mastectomy that manifested years later after I gave birth. My surgeon left pieces of my breast tissue behind, which caused my milk to come in. But due to the nature of the surgery and the grafting of my nipples, the milk was trapped in my chest. I was unable to breastfeed my newborn baby. That excruciating experience, emotionally and physically, changed how I view pain and grief. I regret that I was not protected. I regret that there was no sane doctor or adult who might have stopped to think that this was not the best path forward — after all, my parents were misled by the doctors and therapists just as I was. I regret that the professionals I trusted treated my confusion and, ultimately, my deep-seated trauma as something to affirm instead of something to work through and understand. But above all, I am lamenting that thousands of other kids right now are being told that their trauma and discomfort can be fixed by destroying their perfect bodies — and pressured by doctors and therapists to do so. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION I once was that kid. I know exactly how it starts. It begins with them seeking outlets to decompress. They get sucked in and finally feel at ease. They feel celebrated by an individual or group — finally feeling accepted after being hungry for it for so long. Eventually, they will end up at the same clinics and doctors’ offices I did, and get a brief rush of dopamine. But for a lot of detransitioners like me, it fades over time. When I began speaking out about my experience, I lost the support of the trans community almost as quickly as I gained it. The same people who once supported me unconditionally turned on me. I was harassed, threatened and even doxxed for telling the truth about what had happened to me. For a community supposedly built on love and acceptance, they have an awfully hard time loving and accepting those who may have had negative experiences or downright manipulative ones while transitioning. I have received no love or acceptance from them since the time I saw that my "trans identity" was hurting me. I have had to find support elsewhere. This Mother’s Day, I am grateful for my children. I am continuously grateful for the perspective that motherhood has given me. But that gratitude coexists with a reality I cannot ignore. No mother should have to look back and realize that almost every single health outcome during her pregnancy and postpartum was because of decisions she was misled into making. No mother should have to lay her baby on a flat, numb chest. And even more so, no mother should have to look at her kids going down the same path I did and realize that they’re being exploited.

Father Tom McCarthy, who has known Pope Leo for over 40 years, told the story at a gathering in Illinois on Sunday, according to the Letters from Leo Substack. After Pope Leo answered the standard security questions, the bank teller was presented with a screen that said any changes to his account would need to be made in person. FIRST-EVER AMERICAN POPE INSPIRES FAITH LEADERS NATIONWIDE: 'HEART OF INTEGRITY' "Would it matter to you if I told you I’m Pope Leo?" he asked, according to McCarthy, after noting that he wouldn't be able to come in person to make the changes.  The teller then hung up on him. A video of the story circulated on social media over the weekend, as reported by The New York Times. McCarthy told The Times that the pope did get his number changed after a different priest was able to get in touch with the bank's president. "Could you imagine being known as the woman who hung up on the pope?" he said. Letters From Leo's Christopher Hale reported that Father Bernie Sienna was the one who connected the pope with the bank's president, and noted the bank didn't want to lose the pope's account.

Father Bernie Sienna, McCarthy’s classmate and the then-provincial of the Chicago Province, knew the people who knew the people in Chicago banking. Word made its way up to the bank president," he wrote. "The president cited policy. The pope’s intermediaries replied that he was prepared to move the account elsewhere. The bank did not want to lose the account of the pope. They changed the number." The Vatican did not immediately return a request for comment. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is reportedly planning to travel to the Vatican and Italy this week for meetings aimed at steadying relations after public spats between President Donald Trump, Pope Leo and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Rubio, a Catholic, is expected to meet with Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican’s top diplomatic official, Reuters reported, citing Italian newspapers La Repubblica and Corriere della Sera. It is uncertain whether Rubio will also meet with the pope, who has been critical of the Trump administration's peacemaking efforts in the Middle East. Rubio and Vice President JD Vance attended Pope Leo's inaugural Mass in St. Peter’s Square and held a private meeting with him the following day in May 2025.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a0075c5a200899a00e95184 Supreme Court’s junior justice goes on solo tear as Trump fights put her at odds with the bench te 2026-05-10T12:10:45.951Z Supreme Court’s junior justice goes on solo tear as Trump fights put her at odds with the bench Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson stood out from her colleagues this week when she broke with them to rail against the high court's decision to fast-track its landmark order dismantling a key provision in the Voting Rights Act.  But Jackson's solo dissent was far from the first time the Biden-appointed justice has been on an island, as she has routinely blasted the court for not asserting more judicial authority over President Donald Trump's executive actions and drawn rebukes from her colleagues for taking what they have viewed as flawed positions. Ideological divides over high-profile cases have been common. The trio of liberals has remained unified against the Trump administration by opposing decisions, including on the interim docket, to curb universal injunctions, allow states to ban transgender medical treatments for minors, permit Trump to fire members of independent agencies, authorize the government to cancel immigrants' temporary protected status and more. But even in some of those cases, Jackson goes on solo diatribes, highlighting a deeper internal divide within the liberal bloc. WHY JUSTICE JACKSON IS A FISH OUT OF WATER ON THE SUPREME COURT Below are five recent times Jackson gave lone opinions. The Supreme Court struck down Louisiana's map last month, finding 6-3 it contained an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. Upon request, the Supreme Court also decided 8-1 to fast-track the landmark decision — handing it down immediately rather than in roughly a month like it usually does — allowing several red states to more quickly attempt to implement new congressional lines after the high court weakened Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act by limiting the role race may play in congressional redistricting. Jackson, the bench's most junior justice, broke with her eight colleagues in that decision, saying the court improperly "[dove] into the fray" of active elections by handing its judgment down immediately. "Not content to have decided the law, it now takes steps to influence its implementation," Jackson wrote. LATEST SCOTUS LEAK A GIFT TO LIBERALS ‘SALIVATING’ OVER CONTROL OF HIGH COURT NARRATIVE: EXPERTS Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch, wrote a scathing concurrence for the sole purpose of ripping apart Jackson's dissent, saying her claims were "groundless and utterly irresponsible." The Supreme Court is still weighing Trump's signature plan to severely limit birthright citizenship, but it first entertained the subject last year by addressing how lower courts across the country uniformly issued nationwide injunctions against the plan. The high court decided 6-3 to ban such injunctions but left room for judges and plaintiffs to deploy other methods when seeking widespread relief. Jackson gave a rogue, separate dissent in the case, drawing eyebrow-raising jabs from Justice Amy Coney Barrett. "We will not dwell on Justice Jackson’s argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries’ worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself," Barrett wrote in the court's opinion in 2025. "We observe only this: Justice Jackson decries an imperial Executive while embracing an imperial Judiciary." Jackson wrote that nationwide injunctions should be permissible because the courts should not allow the president to "violate the Constitution."  Barrett disagreed. "She offers a vision of the judicial role that would make even the most ardent defender of judicial supremacy blush," Barrett wrote. The high court fractured last August in dual 5–4 decisions that allowed the National Institutes of Health to cancel nearly $800 million in research grants. Jackson, in one of her most memorable one-person dissents, appeared to boil over with frustration, observing that the majority "bends over backward to accommodate" the Trump administration. "This is Calvinball jurisprudence with a twist. Calvinball has only one rule: There are no fixed rules," Jackson wrote. "We seem to have two: that one, and this Administration always wins." Some of the canceled grants were geared toward research on diversity, equity and inclusion; COVID-19; and gender identity. Jackson argued the grants went further and that "life-saving biomedical research" was at stake. When the Supreme Court sided 8-1 with a Christian counselor who challenged Colorado’s ban on counseling minors about sexual orientation and gender identity — which the state barred as conversion therapy — Jackson was the lone dissenter, warning that "to be completely frank, no one knows what will happen now." Jackson said the key free speech decision defied "treatment standards" and bucked the medical profession, leading an unlikely colleague, Justice Elena Kagan, to openly reject her dissent. Kagan, an Obama appointee, said Jackson’s view "rests on reimagining—and in that way collapsing—the well-settled distinction between viewpoint-based and other content-based speech restrictions." In a lower profile case about police stops, Jackson conspicuously found in April that the high court overstepped its authority by improperly meddling in a lower court's assessment of how Washington, D.C., police decided to stop a man in a suspicious vehicle. The Supreme Court reversed the decision by the lower court, saying it should have weighed the "totality of the circumstances" surrounding the vehicle and approved of an officer's decision to briefly detain the man. The decision was 7-2, but Justice Sonia Sotomayor opposed the ruling while also opting against joining Jackson's dissent. Jackson accused the majority of trying to "wordsmith" and interfere with a typically routine evaluation of a police stop. "I cannot fathom why that kind of factbound determination warranted correction by this Court," Jackson wrote. Jonathan Turley, George Washington University law professor and Fox News contributor, said in an op-ed this month that Jackson has "quickly developed a radical and chilling jurisprudence." Despite establishing herself as an outlier, Jackson also has a swathe of supporters from civil rights groups to celebrities. She has been showered with praise on "The View," nominated for a Grammy for her audiobook and drawn encouragement from Democratic lawmakers. Jackson said during her appearance this year on "The View" that "criticism is part of the job." "Dissents are an opportunity for the justices who disagree with the majority to really describe their view of the law but also their concerns," Jackson said, adding that "you hope that your view will prevail in the long run." Fox News Digital reached out to the Supreme Court's press office for comment. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a0075b2a200899a00e95169 Our kids are growing up displayed online. Here’s how moms can anchor them in faith te 2026-05-10T12:10:26.564Z Our kids are growing up displayed online. Here’s how moms can anchor them in faith Our kids are growing up in a world where everything can be seen, shared, praised, and criticized. Image is everything. When I was younger, I never could have imagined a world where life is on display like it is today. There used to be a quietness growing up, space to figure things out with a few close friends. That way of life is gone. Raising kids today often feels like an impossible task. They are growing up in a world where their every move, choice, or flaw can make them fodder for social media. Many moms I talk with feel a heavy burden to help their kids build an identity that can sustain attacks. And as a parent, that responsibility can feel overwhelming. DEMI TEBOW WARNS AGAINST SOCIAL MEDIA FOR SELF-WORTH, POINTS TO BIBLE'S 'PERFECT PLAN' FOR EACH LIFE Matt and I have been married for 25 years. We dealt with our own share of scrutiny and public opinion throughout his career in professional baseball. We grew together, rooted in our faith, and learned to navigate the often harsh world of sports commentary. But now, our two oldest boys, Jackson and Ethan, are on those same fields, playing in those same stadiums. They have the eyes of the fans, and what feels like the world, on them constantly. When they have a bad day, it feels like everybody has an opinion about their worth. Scrutiny comes with the territory, as my boys are professional athletes. But as moms, we aren’t called to make their lives easier; we’re called to prepare them for the difficult seasons. TIM TEBOW TELLS STORY OF JESUS THROUGH EYES OF THE CROSS IN REVEALING NEW BOOK Consider Mary’s example as a mother. Talk about raising a child who would be publicly watched, misunderstood, and criticized. From the very beginning, her story didn’t fit neatly into people’s expectations. And as Jesus grew, the tension only increased. People questioned Him. Misunderstood Him. Eventually, they rejected Him. Mary couldn’t shield Jesus from public criticism. She couldn’t control how people responded to Him. She couldn’t stop the hard parts of His story. And Mary had a front-row seat to all of it. But she stayed rooted. She stayed present. She was joyful. She trusted God with the boy who became a man right before her eyes. And that feels familiar. Because we don’t raise strong, grounded kids by removing pressure. We raise them by helping them learn how to stand in it. And maybe, in a world that watches everything, the most powerful thing we can do as parents is this: Create a home where our kids know they are seen for who they are — not for how they perform. A place where they don’t have to earn love. Where they can bring both their wins and their struggles. Where they know that when the noise of the world gets loud, they still have a place that is steady. Drawing from scripture, Mary’s life and my own experience, I’d like to offer a few specific principles to help moms raise resilient, faithful kids in today’s world. Lead with grace, even when you need to correct your kids ERIKA KIRK SHOWS HOW WE SHOULD FORGIVE, ‘BECAUSE IT WAS WHAT CHRIST DID’ In Genesis, Adam and Eve are afraid. They’re ashamed. And they know they will face consequences for their sin. But God doesn’t start by sending them away. He meets them in the garden and, in their shame, speaks to them in love. One way we’ve modeled this in our home is by eliminating timeouts. We couldn’t expect our children to understand God’s patient love for them if we modeled it by sending them to a corner when they disobeyed or didn't listen. We lead with grace, even when correction is necessary — maybe even more so when correction is necessary. The freedom of forgiveness is one of the most important things we gain as children of God. We can’t share it with our kids until we understand grace, forgiveness, and God’s mercy as true every day for ourselves and let them shape our lives. I didn’t do it right all the time, of course. But I didn’t have to. I was able to ask God for forgiveness. I was also able to talk to my kids about forgiveness and model it. Perfection has never been a requirement in our home, and I’d encourage you not to make it one in yours. You have to show your kids that they won’t be right all the time and that they can and should ask for forgiveness. Lead them where you want them to go. Use your home and your life to train your kids up, and trust the Lord to handle the rest Consider Proverbs 21:31: "The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the Lord." Preparing a war horse is a long process built on grueling, intentional, consistent training required to make the animal battle-ready. Parenting is different in many ways, of course, but it demands the same kind of intentionality. It happens quietly, in the home, in the ordinary moments. Every mom I meet feels a deep responsibility to raise her kids to live firmly in their identity as children of God. It’s easy to focus on that responsibility and overlook the second half of this verse. We prepare the horse, and we release the outcome. We do the work, and we surrender the results. That's a lesson worth learning for ourselves and passing on to our kids. They are called to show up, work hard, be prepared, and recognize that true victory belongs to the Lord. Train your kids. But don’t train them thinking you’re going to determine their lives, or protect them from hardship. Show them excellence – in others, in faith, in themselves I wanted my kids to see great things and see great men. We wanted them around people who showed them how to lead, be a friend, and work hard. So they traveled with us and spent time with honorable, godly men who coached and played with their dad. We’ve encouraged them to follow the example of athletes like Adam Wainwright, Jaime Garcia, and others connected through Sports Spectrum who have navigated this career with faith and integrity, modeling how to live out their faith in the public arena — while also building relationships with men of faith who understand the high-pressure environment they’re in. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION As moms, we have the privilege of showing our kids where to look and how to see. Always call out awesomeness. Make sure your kids are around people who live admirable lives. Point out what others are doing well. After all, more is caught than taught. When they see greatness, they’ll want to emulate it. No matter what advice you get, though, nothing can change the fact that motherhood is hard. The emotional difficulty for many women around Mother’s Day is often even harder. But we as mothers have the chance to leave a powerful legacy. That starts in our hearts and in our homes and in the unseen grace that pours out from God through us to the people we love. So let God work through you. Let God make you His hands and feet. Let God bring peace, security and resilience to your children, whoever they may be, through your life.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is not quite ready to announce a run in the 2028 Democratic primary, because she said her ambition is far greater than that. "They assume that my ambition is positional; they assume that my ambition is a title or a seat," Ocasio-Cortez told Democratic strategist David Axelrod at an event Friday in Chicago. "And my ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country." "Presidents come and go; Senate, House seats, elected officials come and go, but single-payer healthcare is forever," she continued. "A living wage is forever. Workers’ rights are forever. Women’s rights, all of that." Ocasio-Cortez was responding to criticism of her comments that billionaires like Elon Musk cannot truly "earn" a billion dollars without the work of others, calling the blowback "a veiled threat" against her running for president. AOC CALLED OUT FOR CLAIM THAT BILLIONAIRES 'CAN'T EARN' THEIR WEALTH AS SHE DOUBLES DOWN ON REMARKS "This was the elite saying, if you want this job, you just stepped out of line," she said. "And we want you to know where the real power is, and it's in the modern-day barons who own The [Washington] Post and own the algorithms, and we're going to — we’ll make an example out of you." She said critics misunderstand what drives her political decisions: "What use is a gavel, what use is a seat if it doesn’t result in anyone’s life changing for the better. She does not aim for the top, but from it. "When you haven’t been fantasizing about being this or that since you were seven years old, it is tremendously liberating," she said.

"No billionaire can stop that: No concentrated level of power and no elite, no gatekeeper, can prevent me from doing everything I can, waking up every day in service of the working class," she said.

Appearing in studio during Wednesday's edition of "Inside the NBA," Green pointed to Barkley’s four-year stint with the Houston Rockets. "I think the goal is just to not look like you in the Houston Rockets uniform," a follow-up to Barkley’s suggestion that the Golden State Warriors — Green’s team — are well past their championship window. Days later, as controversy mounted, Green clarified his remarks about Barkley. "The reason that I would even say that is what Chuck makes fun about in his career is actually the last 2 years in Houston," Green said during the latest edition of "The Draymond Green Show." CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Green added: "Everybody tried to make it like this whole ‘Ahh man Draymond think he better than Chuck’… the disrespect ain’t the intent so if that’s the way it’s viewed as public disrespect, I can gladly public apologize, disrespect wasn’t my intent." Barkley suggested Green would have to leave the only franchise he’s ever played for to have a chance at a fifth championship, given the age of Golden State’s core. "It’s over for the Warriors," Barkley said on May 6. "No disrespect. It is for every old team. You have your run, you get old … it just passed you by. Y’all had one of the greatest runs ever." Barkley waited a couple of days to address Green’s comments, telling the "Bickley and Marotta" radio show on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM, "Draymond is a good player. We’re not on the same level … I can hear, but I don’t have to respond every time somebody says something about me." During a series of media interviews, Barkley continued to brush off Green’s remarks, saying he wasn’t offended by the criticism. "He took a shot at me but I don’t get offended because ― I’ve said things about guys, they took personal shots at me," Barkley told the "The Dan Patrick Show," adding, "You know, it’s so funny, last time you had me on the show, I told you I regretted those Rocket years, especially the last two where I sucked as a player. But I wasn’t turning down no free money, I had two years left on my contract." Barkley joined the Rockets in the 1996-97 season after the Phoenix Suns traded him to Houston. He retired from the NBA at age 36. Green turned 36 in March, while his longtime teammate and two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry turned 38 just under months ago. Barkley's 16-year NBA career ended in 2000 with career averages of 22.1 points and 11.7 rebounds.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6a0067c6a200899a00e92216 My father is a pastor, imprisoned in China. President Trump, please save him te 2026-05-10T11:11:02.461Z My father is a pastor, imprisoned in China. President Trump, please save him When President Donald Trump sits down with Chinese President Xi Jinping in the coming weeks, the world will be watching for deals on trade, Taiwan and global security. I will be watching for something much more personal: whether my father will finally be able to come home. My father, Pastor Ezra Jin Mingri, is the founder of Zion Church in China. The church had humble beginnings – it began in 2007 with just 20 people. But my father’s passion and faith helped the church grow, which made it a target of the Chinese authorities. Over the years, dozens of church staff members have been detained or harassed by the Chinese authorities. In 2018, the church was officially banned and all church property confiscated after church leadership refused government demands to install surveillance cameras to monitor its congregation. Trusting in God’s sovereignty while at the same time not wanting to bring further pressure on the congregation, my father shifted the church to a hybrid model, giving online sermons and building a network of satellite locations throughout the country. Within just a few years, Zion Church was reaching 10,000 people in 40 cities, making it one of China’s largest "house churches." CHINA FORMALLY ARRESTS 18 LEADERS OF UNDERGROUND ZION CHURCH AMID RELIGIOUS CRACKDOWN Last October, my father and nearly 30 other Zion Church pastors and members were detained in what has been called "the most extensive crackdown against the faith in decades" Eighteen of them, including my father, remain detained, facing charges of "illegally utilizing information networks" – that is, sharing biblical teachings online. The detained church leaders have no contact with the outside world, except for their lawyers, and even that may not last – Chinese authorities are doing everything they can do to force the lawyers off the case. Lead defense lawyer Zhang Kai, who was representing my father, had his law license revoked in January, and six other lawyers working on the case have been given six-month suspensions. The others have been harassed, intimidated and threatened. Of particular concern, my father has health issues that are likely not being adequately treated. He has severe type 2 diabetes that has, in the past, required hospitalization. He needs ongoing, specialized medical care. But China has a documented history of denying political prisoners necessary medical care; in fact, when my father was initially detained, my grandmother tried to bring him his prescribed diabetes medication but was turned away. CHINA AGREES TO RELEASE 3 'WRONGFULLY DETAINED' AMERICANS My father is no criminal. Rather, he is a person of faith who has embodied compassion, kindness and caring for the needy – values drawn from both Christian teachings and Chinese culture. In 2008, house churches, including Zion Church, were often the first to provide aid to those suffering after the earthquake in Sichuan. Zion Church ministers to broken marriages and depressed children and provides food to the poor. Until its space was confiscated in 2018, the church also hosted blood drives each year. Although my father and my family have suffered greatly, this case is not just about the suffering of one person or one family. It poses a direct challenge to American values. This country traces its origins to individuals fleeing religious persecution. Freedom of religion is central to who we are; it is enshrined in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and was recently acknowledged in the Trump administration’s National Security Strategy. In just a few weeks, Trump will rededicate this country as "One n ation under God."  But the Chinese Community Party’s escalating attack on China’s Christian community – as well as its persecution of Muslims, Tibetan and Chinese Buddhists, Taoists and others – is a direct challenge to this oldest and most sacred American value. CRUZ LEADS SENATE PUSH TO HOLD CHINA ACCOUNTABLE FOR BEIJING CHURCH CRACKDOWN Recognizing this, Ambassador Sam Brownback has described China’s crackdown on the Christian community a "national security imperative" because, in his words, "if the world’s largest authoritarian state can eradicate religious freedom without consequences, it undermines the authority of America’s founding values and global leadership." We cannot let this challenge go unanswered. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION Through repeated acts of transnational repression, Chinese authorities have even sought to punish my family here in the United States for speaking about my father’s detention. Soon after we began speaking publicly, my mother received a threatening phone call from someone impersonating a U.S. federal agent, who tried to pressure her to return to China under false pretenses. Later, the tires on her car were slashed in the middle of the night. I have personally been surveilled while attending meetings in Washington, D.C., and my husband has been the target of Chinese state-backed hacking attempts. Xi has said that he hopes that 2026 will be a year in which China and the U.S. "advance toward mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation." But that is impossible while China imprisons the relatives of U.S. citizens for practicing their faith, attacks the religious freedom that America was founded on and extends its repression into our borders to silence dissent.  In about two months, I will give birth to my third child. My other two children have never met their grandfather in person because Chinese authorities have restricted my father from leaving China under an exit ban since 2018. It is my fervent prayer that my father will be here in June to hold the newest member of our family. Please, President Trump, stand up for my father, stand up for religious freedom and stand for American values – bring my father home.

It's an experience. Reservations fill weeks in advance, waitlists can stretch outside the door and tables are often overflowing with mimosa glasses. But a new list of the "Top 100 Brunch Restaurants" in America suggests something else: The spots where families are celebrating mom may be far more concentrated — and exclusive — than before. The rankings, compiled from OpenTable diner data, highlight the restaurants drawing the most reservations and the highest ratings. RESTAURANT INSIDERS SHARE THE SECRETS OF SNAGGING HARD-TO-GET RESERVATIONS California leads by a wide margin with 19, followed by New York (12), Texas (11) and Illinois (10), while more than half of U.S. states have no restaurants on the list at all.  In other words, the so-called "top" brunch spots are heavily clustered in a handful of major dining markets. That concentration reflects how brunch itself has evolved. "Brunch has become a major factor for hospitality in general in the last 10 years — from boozy brunches to sophisticated nice afternoons with the family," said Robert Mahon, managing partner of Mahon Hospitality Group in New York City. In dense, experience-driven cities, restaurants are built to meet demand for something more than a meal, Mahon told Fox News Digital. QUICK-AND-EASY MOTHER'S DAY MEAL CAN BE MADE IN MINUTES, CHEF SAYS "We're living in an experience economy," added Bo Bryant, a restaurant strategist and the founder of Arizona-based Brunch Kitchen & Cocktails. "People aren't just going out to eat anymore. They're going out to feel something — to mark a moment." Brunch, Bryant told Fox News Digital, sits "at the intersection of food, social ritual and affordable luxury." On Mother's Day, that demand spikes sharply. Mahon expects reservations to jump "by 30 or 40% at a minimum," while Bryant said some restaurants begin booking as early as 10 weeks in advance. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER "The trend is clear: People are booking earlier every year," he said. "If you want your first choice, you need to secure it well in advance." To keep up, many restaurants streamline menus or lean into prix fixe offerings.  The goal, Mahon said, is efficiency — ensuring "the pace of food comes out correctly" during one of the busiest dining days of the year. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE STORIES At the same time, brunch menus have become more creative and indulgent, with cocktails and curated dishes helping to drive higher spending. "Breakfast is a meal. Brunch has become an experience — and people are genuinely willing to pay for that feeling," Bryant said. Fox News Digital reached out to the National Restaurant Association, based in Washington, D.C., for comment. OpenTable's list captures only part of the picture. Missing are the local diners, neighborhood cafés and walk-in spots where many families still celebrate — places less likely to rely on reservations or appear in national rankings. Bryant sees a split among diners. "The first loves the Sunday ritual — the buzz, the crowd, the social theater of it all. For them, the scene is part of the appeal," he said.  TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ "The second type is drawn to the food, the pace and the value of a genuinely elegant, full-service experience without the dinner price tag. They'd rather linger over a great meal than wait in line."

But behind palace doors, she was not one to be messed with. The claim was made by royal author Robert Hardman, who has written a new book on England’s longest-reigning monarch, "Elizabeth II: In Private, In Public: Her Story." It explores the rarely seen side of the late queen, who would have turned 100 on April 21. Fox News Digital reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment. A palace spokesperson previously told Fox News Digital, "We don't comment on such books." QUEEN ELIZABETH CONFIDED IN AMERICAN COWBOY PAL OVER 'GUILTY CONSCIENCE’ "In many ways, she was more terrifying in private than in public," Hardman told Fox News Digital. "I’ve always found that there are two sides to her. The public queen is the one we’re all familiar with. She was very serious, very dutiful. She didn’t smile that much. You could just tell this was someone who was very conscious of doing her duty. By contrast, the private side of the queen, she was very sparkly. She could be very direct. She was the opposite of what elderly people are supposed to do." "The older she got, the greater her authority," Hardman added. Hardman said that the queen was known for "the look," which he described as "a silent signal of displeasure" toward anyone who crossed "an invisible line." If one was "over familiar," incompetent or rude, she would shoot out a steely gaze — an ice-cold warning that said everything without a single word. WATCH: INSIDE QUEEN ELIZABETH'S ‘GLACIAL STARE’ THAT UNNERVED LEADERS "Everyone was very scared of getting ‘the look,’" Hardman explained. "Even [former Prime Minister] Tony Blair, in his memoirs, wrote about his fear of ‘the look.’ And it was her response to something that she found disagreeable for whatever reason. She wouldn’t snap, she wouldn’t shout, she wouldn’t lecture people. She just gave them this very direct, glacial stare. And it was very clear that she was highly unamused." One prime minister who received "the look" was New Zealand’s Helen Clark during the queen’s Golden Jubilee tour of the Pacific in 2002. When the queen arrived at a black-tie banquet with New Zealand’s Parliament, she was met by Clark in more casual trousers. "[The queen] was told that she needed to put on the full royal regalia," Hardman explained. "They wanted her in an evening gown. They wanted all the pearls, all the jewels, all the diamonds, the tiara — everything. So she really dressed up for this occasion. She arrived at this banquet hosted by then-Prime Minister Helen Clark of New Zealand. And the prime minister was wearing trousers." "The queen, having made all this effort, [gave] a very strong look," said Hardman. Fellow biographer Kenneth Rose told Hardman of "the look" that, "She just stares at the person with open eyes, absolutely no expression." Former Foreign Secretary Douglas Hurd also described a diplomatic reception where members representing more than 150 embassies and high commissions were lined up for the monarch. One ambassador arrived late and missed his slot. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER "He was very anxious not to lose the opportunity of bowing to the queen, and he shoved himself into position out of line, and he got the stare," said Hurd. "The courtiers escorted him away to the right position. Nothing would be said." "When I went over the top, her eyebrows would go up, and I’d apologize," Sir Robert Woodard, the former captain of Britannia, also told Hardman. "She hoped you’d sort out the distance you needed to keep." In his book, Hardman described a moment when the queen attended a garden party at Buckingham Palace, where she was introduced to a Royal Canadian Air Force officer and his Polish girlfriend. While they were in mid-conversation, the woman’s phone began ringing. Wanting to avoid "the look," the woman tossed the phone into the crowd without breaking eye contact and continued the conversation as if nothing had happened. The queen didn’t blink. But sometimes, the monarch wasn’t afraid to speak her mind. "She was very direct," said Hardman. "She was authentic. One of the things people liked about her was that they knew what they were getting. "For example, sometimes she’d be handed a speech drafted by her advisors. She’d always read through them first and make corrections. She was once handed a speech that said, ‘I am very glad to be back in Birmingham.’ She crossed out the word ‘very.’ She just said, ‘No disrespect to Birmingham.’ She felt that was an act of insincerity." LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS When biographer Charles Moore found himself sitting next to the queen at dinner, he half-apologetically began explaining his next book, Hardman wrote. "Oh, don’t worry," the queen told him. "I shan’t read it." "A senior clergyman awaiting a royal verdict on a carefully prepared sermon was both amused and bemused by her parting remark: ‘So many long words, bishop!’" Hardman wrote. "She was once being driven around Scotland on a tour, and there’d be somebody with her, the Lord Lieutenant, a local royal representative usually in uniform," Hardman also explained to Fox News Digital. "Once she got to this meeting, there were people lined up to meet her. This representative was supposed to do the introductions, but his sword had gotten stuck in the car, and he couldn’t get out. "The queen just thought, ‘Oh, this is ridiculous,’" Hardman continued. "So, she just got out of the car, went up to his greeting line of people, and said, ‘I’m afraid my Lord Lieutenant seems to be having some trouble getting out of the car, so I’d better introduce myself. I’m the queen.’" Hardman also wrote that when a cabinet minister told the queen he spent many years in Slough, she replied, "Oh, you poor thing." On a different occasion, when a guest remarked that she must have been looking forward to an upcoming Commonwealth summit in Uganda, she reportedly replied, "No one looks forward to going to Uganda." But the queen also took certain things in stride. In his book, Hardman described that during a Balmoral shooting weekend, the heir to a nearby estate was so busy digging into his plate of venison stew that he didn’t notice the queen taking a seat at the table. "How are you getting on?" said the queen. The young earl was so shocked that "his garbled attempt at a reply" resulted in a small piece of meat landing on her face. "She didn’t flinch," said a source who was present. During a state visit to the U.S. in 1976, President Ford invited the queen for a dance at the White House ball. "The Lady Is a Tramp" began to play. While Ford was furious, Hardman told Fox News Digital the queen found it "hilarious." "This was a favorite story [of hers] for years," he added. The queen died in 2022. She was 96. QUEEN ELIZABETH’S FINAL WISH FOR GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN INCLUDED PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN MARKLE’S KIDS: BOOK "She was in charge until her dying day," said Hardman. "And no one questioned her authority."

In the video, Biggs calls for what he describes as a “freer, safer, more prosperous Arizona,” while emphasizing issues including border security, public safety, tax policy, education, and election administration. The video also criticizes policies advanced under Gov. Katie Hobbs and argues Arizona should pursue a more conservative governing approach. “We have always been rugged individualists. But under this Governor, we’re not leading the way except to go the way of California. We’re following California, for Pete’s sakes. So, for me, when I look at it and say, ‘Why am I running for Governor?’ I know that this state needs a leader that understands the tremendous potential it has and can unleash it using the processes we have in the Legislature and the authority that the Governor has.” Biggs currently represents Arizona’s Fifth Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives and previously served as president of the Arizona Senate. I’m running for Governor to make Arizona a freer, safer, and more prosperous state. Katie Hobbs is trying to make Arizona more like California. We have tremendous potential, but we need leadership to get there. Watch our campaign’s newest video! pic.twitter.com/HPPvUaevhV — Andy Biggs (@andybiggs4az) May 7, 2026 The release comes as the Republican gubernatorial primary field continues to develop ahead of the 2026 election. Biggs announced his gubernatorial campaign earlier this year and has emerged as one of the highest-profile Republicans in the race. Biggs has centered much of his campaign messaging on border enforcement, tax reductions, school choice expansion, and election reforms. During a recent Turning Point Action rally in Phoenix, Biggs said he would seek to eliminate Arizona’s income tax, create what he described as a stronger state border security operation, and sign election-related legislation previously vetoed by Hobbs. At that event, Biggs also described his goal as making Arizona “the most free, most prosperous, safest state in the union.” The campaign has also emphasized Biggs’ relationship with President Donald Trump and his alignment with the broader “America First” movement. Trump endorsed Biggs earlier this year in the Republican gubernatorial primary. Polling from Noble Predictive Insights released in March showed Biggs leading the Republican primary field by 21 points while trailing incumbent Gov. Katie Hobbs by five points in a hypothetical general election matchup. Arizona is shaping up for another tight gubernatorial battle. Biggs consolidates the GOP primary. Hobbs holds an early advantage. Undecideds remain decisive. Full AZPOP report available now: https://t.co/yyg9z0Kgzk — Noble Predictive Insights (@NoblePredictive) March 6, 2026 The new video release is the latest in a series of campaign efforts by the Biggs campaign to frame the 2026 race around border security, economic policy, and opposition to the Hobbs administration’s agenda.

A coalition of top Democrats joined on a livestream earlier this week for a launch of the Protect the Vote Arizona Act political action committee: Reps. Greg Stanton (D-AZ-04), Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ-03), and Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ-07); Secretary of State Adrian Fontes; Attorney General Kris Mayes; and the minority leaders for the Arizona House and Senate, Rep. Oscar De Los Santos (D-LD-11) and Sen. Priya Sundareshan (D-LD-18). The Democrats styled the ballot measure in their public comments as focused primarily on keeping mail-in voting as an option in Arizona. However, most of the ballot measure focuses on undoing the strictness of voter ID laws and ensuring that stricter voting requirements may not come to pass.  The Protect the Vote Arizona Act would require the acceptance of any IDs with the photograph, name, and address of an individual — not just limited to any government-issued form of identification. The act also prohibits limiting allowable forms of identification to photo IDs, and requires acceptance of IDs so long as election workers can’t determine “on its face” that the identification provided had expired.  The act would also require the acceptance of “any two forms of identification that bear the name and address of the elector.” The non-exhaustive examples of valid voter ID included utility bills or bank or credit union statements dated within ninety days of the election, or any mailing labeled “official election material.”  Even if an individual doesn’t provide valid identification, the law would require that individual be allowed to cast a provisional ballot regardless. According to the ballot measure, that provisional ballot wouldn’t count unless the elector provides any of the myriad forms of ID to their county elections officer within a certain time frame.  Beyond identification laws, the act would prohibit any policies or laws that would “burden” voting, not just those that restrict or curtail voting. One of those measures would concern mail-in ballots. The act proposes to enshrine mail-in ballots within the Arizona Constitution.  Help us protect early voting and mail-in voting in Arizona! Join me for a ‘Protect the Vote’ livestream this evening to learn more about this key Arizona ballot initiative. We must count and protect every single vote 🗳️📩 pic.twitter.com/uqkqmfYOue — Kris Mayes (@krismayes) May 6, 2026 Ansari said in the livestream that Democrats need to gather 500,000 signatures by July 2 to get their constitutional measure on the ballot this November. The Protect the Vote Arizona website said a lower number will be needed: about 384,000 signatures. Ansari estimated that they’ve already collected about 50,000 signatures in recent weeks. During conversations on the ballot measure, Grijalva agreed with a claim that the SAVE Act and similar efforts to require voter ID were rooted in racist efforts to prevent non-whites from voting. “We have to give people hope that there is a way out of this,” said Grijalva. “We know that our message is resonating with people.”  Other top Democrats on the livestream included Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY), Greg Casar (TX), Jasmine Crockett (TX), Maxwell Frost (FL), and Robert Garcia (CA).  The political action committee behind the ballot measure, Protect the Vote Arizona, claimed to have had no funding or expenditures since its launch in January through the end of March. Key members behind the ballot measure are Maritza Miranda Saenz, a lobbyist with Lumen Strategies, and Dacey Montoya, Gov. Katie Hobbs’ treasurer and a leading dark money handler for Arizona Democrats (see: “The Money Wheel”). AZ Free News is your #1 source for Arizona news and politics.

"We also know at least that she was alive at that time," said Jim Clemente, who spent 22 years in the bureau. That's based on his analysis of blood on her front porch. There was a concentration of round droplets near the front door, then a thinning trail toward her driveway. NBC HOST SAVANNAH GUTHRIE’S MOTHER TAKEN FROM HOME AS EXPERT RAISES ALARMING NEW THEORIES AMID LACK OF LEADS "She must have aspirated and then coughed up blood with her face very close to the ground, and I don't believe that would have happened had two people been carrying her at that point," he told Fox News Digital. Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie, is believed to have been kidnapped from her home around 2:30 a.m. on Feb. 1. For days, there were few clues about who was responsible, until the FBI and Google recovered imagery from her Nest doorbell camera that showed a masked man wearing gloves and a holstered pistol arrive on her front steps the night she vanished. FBI REVEALS NEW SUSPECT DETAILS, INCLUDING BACKPACK, IN NANCY GUTHRIE DISAPPEARANCE; DOUBLES REWARD TO $100K He is described as above average height and build. He was wearing a black Ozark Trail backpack, long sleeves, gloves and a ski mask. And he remains unidentified nearly 100 days later. Still, the video is full of clues, Clemente told Fox News Digital. FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X Although the suspect is believed to have scouted the location in advance, he resorted to using foliage to block the Nest camera lens and had the potential to shed facial hair through his ski mask, Clemente said. A $10 WALMART GUN HOLSTER COULD HELP IDENTIFY SUSPECT IN NANCY GUTHRIE CASE "In the process of doing that, I believe he revealed what looked like a tattoo on his wrist, which would not have been revealed had he adequately prepared for that camera being there," he said. SIGN UP TO GET TRUE CRIME NEWSLETTER "So it tells me that he is not a sophisticated offender. He was sort of bumbling his way through this, and he made other mistakes, and I believe those mistakes will directly lead to his capture." While investigators have kept details about the inside of the home close, some have leaked, and they paint a story, Clemente said. SAVANNAH GUTHRIE REVEALS NEW DETAILS IN MOM’S VANISHING THAT DON’T ADD UP AS QUESTIONS HAUNT CASE: EXPERT "I believe that what it means is he threatened her with his gun when he was at her bedside," he told Fox News Digital. "He got her to come down, and at the front door is where she realized he's going to take me and this is very dangerous and I should fight. And she did." The doorbell video does not show Guthrie being taken from her home, although there was blood clearly visible on her stone walkway. The camera itself was missing when deputies arrived the next morning. However, the fact that the FBI was able to recover video anyway likely shocked the kidnapper, Clemente said, and someone in his orbit should have been able to pick up the signs. LISTEN TO THE NEW 'CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO' PODCAST "Because of all the mistakes this guy made, because of his ineptness and non-professional behavior in this, I believe that he exhibited a great degree of stress when the images were first released," Clemente said. "Anybody around him should have noticed that change in behavior and potentially be able to identify him because of that." FBI HAS RECEIVED DNA DATA FROM NANCY GUTHRIE CASE: SOURCES There was also an unidentified hair sample recovered from the home. The sheriff's department initially sent it to a private lab in Florida. After 11 weeks, the lab there sent it to the FBI for more advanced analysis. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

The new map drawn by the Virginia legislature would have given Democrats four more left-leaning House districts in the Commonwealth ahead of this year's midterm elections, when Republicans will be defending their razor-thin majority in the chamber. The Virginia ruling, along with the recent opinion by the conservative majority on the Supreme Court to slash a key Voting Rights Act protection, is giving Trump and the GOP a major boost in their ongoing political fight with Democrats to redraw congressional district maps ahead of the midterms. At stake in this nationwide redistricting showdown is which party will control the House during the final two years of Trump's second term in the White House. BLOCKBUSTER RULING: VIRGINIA SUPREME COURT STRIKES DOWN DEMOCRAT-BACKED CONGRESSIONAL MAP In Virginia, the decision means the map used in the 2024 elections will stay in place for the 2026 ballot box showdowns. Democrats currently control the state's U.S. House delegation by a 6-5 margin. The now overturned map could have resulted in a 10-1 advantage for Democrats in the blue-leaning but competitive state. In the wake of their latest legal setback, House Democratic Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York said, "We are exploring all options to overturn this shocking decision." And the House minority leader vowed, "No matter what it takes, House Democrats will win in November so we can help rescue this nation from the extremism being unleashed by Donald Trump and Republicans." But the 2026 redistricting wars are far from over, and the political landscape may get even rougher for Democrats going forward. Here's where things stand. The Supreme Court's decision reshaped the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act by ruling that race should not dictate the redrawing of legislative district maps. And the opinion specifically ruled that Louisiana's congressional district map was unconstitutional. Last week, the Supreme Court said that its decision declaring Louisiana's map unconstitutional should go into effect immediately, breaking with its usual procedure of waiting roughly a month before its opinions become official. That cleared the way for the GOP-controlled state legislature to begin the process of redrawing the map, and hearings got underway on Friday. Republican Gov. Jeff Landry, a top Trump ally, took swift action in the immediate aftermath of the high court's ruling, when he delayed the May 16 U.S. House primary elections in Louisiana. Louisiana Republicans are aiming to erase one or both of the two Black-majority House seats, which are represented by Democrats. Republicans in Tennessee moved even faster. The GOP-dominated Tennessee legislature on Thursday quickly adopted a new map that would eliminate the only Democrat-controlled congressional district in the state, and would likely give Republicans control of all nine districts. TENN GOV LEE CALLS SPECIAL SESSION TO REDRAW HOUSE MAP IN GOP'S FAVOR 9-0 GOP Gov. Bill Lee quickly signed the new maps into law. Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen, who represents the majority Black district that's being carved up, vowed legal action. "Trump knows he HAS TO rig the game to keep his majority in November. And the TN GOP was willing to go along with it. It’s shameful," Cohen wrote on social media. "Next stop is the courts." Lawmakers in the Alabama legislature, where the GOP holds a supermajority in both chambers, are advancing legislation as they met this past week in a special session focused on redistricting. The new maps may result in eliminating one or both of the state's two blue-leaning U.S. House districts. The special session was called by Republican Gov. Kay Ivey. But any new map passed by Alabama lawmakers will need to be greenlit by the Supreme Court. That's because Alabama is currently prohibited by the high court from redistricting until 2030. It's unclear if the court will lift its injunction. Protests rocked both the Alabama and Tennessee legislatures as Republican lawmakers pushed forward the new maps. In South Carolina, the GOP-controlled legislature returns in special session on Monday, as Republican lawmakers consider a new map that could put longtime Rep. Jim Clyburn, the only Democrat in the state's seven-person House delegation, out of a job. Republicans in Georgia are divided over GOP Gov. Brian Kemp of Georgia's decision not to call state lawmakers back into a special session on redistricting. The state's primary is on May 19 and early voting is already underway in Georgia. Meanwhile, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed a bill passed last week by the GOP-dominated state legislature that redraws the red-leaning state's congressional districts, adding four more right-leaning seats by eliminating districts currently controlled by Democrats. Republicans currently control Florida's U.S. House delegation by a 20-8 margin. The battle over the maps ignited last spring when Trump, aiming to prevent what happened during his first term in the White House when Democrats reclaimed the House majority in the 2018 midterms, first floated the idea of rare, but not unheard of, mid-decade congressional redistricting. The mission was simple: redraw congressional district maps in red states to pad the GOP's fragile House majority to keep control of the chamber in the midterms, when the party in power traditionally faces political headwinds and loses seats. When asked by reporters last summer about his plan to add Republican-leaning House seats across the country, the president said, "Texas will be the biggest one. And that’ll be five." Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas called a special session of the GOP-dominated state legislature to pass the new map. But Democratic state lawmakers, who broke quorum for two weeks as they fled Texas in a bid to delay the passage of the redistricting bill, energized Democrats across the country. Among those leading the fight against Trump's redistricting was Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California. California voters in November overwhelmingly passed Proposition 50, a ballot initiative that temporarily sidetracked the left-leaning state's nonpartisan redistricting commission and returned the power to draw the congressional maps to the Democratic-dominated legislature. That led to five more Democratic-leaning congressional districts in California, which aimed to counter the move by Texas to redraw their maps. But the fight quickly spread beyond Texas and California. Republican-controlled Missouri and Ohio and swing state North Carolina, where the GOP dominates the legislature, drew new maps as part of the president's push. But in blows to Republicans, a Utah district judge late last year rejected a congressional district map drawn by the state's GOP-dominated legislature and instead approved an alternate that will create a Democratic-leaning district ahead of the midterms. And Republicans in Indiana's Senate in December defied Trump, shooting down a redistricting bill that had passed the state House. Facing the president's wrath, five of those Republican state senators in Indiana were ousted by Trump-backed challengers in last week's GOP primary.

Passengers will be tested by Spanish health authorities to ensure they are asymptomatic before being transported ashore in small boats, Spanish officials said, according to Reuters. Evacuation is expected to begin between 7:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. local time, with Spanish nationals disembarking first, followed by passengers of other nationalities, Reuters reported. They are then expected to be taken to the island’s main airport and flown back to their home countries. Multiple Americans are believed to be aboard the MV Hondius. AMERICANS TO BE EVACUATED FROM HANTAVIRUS CRUISE SHIP AS GLOBAL HEALTH CHIEF TRAVELS TO QUARANTINE ISLAND Fox News Digital previously reported that the U.S. government is planning to transfer American passengers to a military base in Nebraska for quarantine and monitoring. The ship set course for Spain on Wednesday from the coast of Cape Verde after the WHO and European Union requested assistance in managing the outbreak. The ship’s arrival comes hours after World Health Organization Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus arrived on the island. The WHO said Friday that eight people aboard the ship had fallen ill, including three who died. Six cases have been confirmed, with two others suspected. HANTAVIRUS DEATHS ON CRUISE SHIP HIGHLIGHT DANGERS OF RODENT-BORNE DISEASE In a statement Saturday, Ghebreyesus said the public health risk remains low. "I know you are worried. I know that when you hear the word 'outbreak' and watch a ship sail toward your shores, memories surface that none of us have fully put to rest," he said. "The pain of 2020 is still real, and I do not dismiss it for a single moment. But I need you to hear me clearly: this is not another COVID-19. The current public health risk from Hantavirus remains low. My colleagues and I have said this unequivocally, and I will say it again to you now," he continued. ARGENTINA INVESTIGATORS ZERO IN ON POSSIBLE ORIGIN POINT OF HANTAVIRUS IN DEADLY CRUISE OUTBREAK Ghebreyesus noted that the virus identified aboard the ship is the Andes strain of hantavirus, which can be severe. "Three people have lost their lives, and our hearts go out to their families," he wrote, reiterating that the public health risk posed by the virus remained low. About 30 crew members are expected to remain on board as the vessel continues to the Netherlands, where it will be disinfected.

The gain was driven entirely by the private sector which added 123,000 jobs, while government employment declined 8,000. Nonfarm payroll employment now stands at 158.74 million, with private sector payrolls at 135.43 million and government payrolls at 23.31 million. The headline unemployment rate (U-3) held steady at 4.3%, while the broader U-6 measure, which includes underemployment, rose 0.2 percentage points to 8.2%. The labor force participation rate declined 0.1 percentage points to 61.8%. March’s job gain was revised upward by 8,000 to a total of 185,000, while February’s figure was revised downward by 64,000, resulting in a net loss of 156,000 jobs for that month. In April, the strongest job gains occurred in trade, transportation, and utilities, which added 60,000 positions, and private education and health services, which added 46,000. Losses were recorded in information (-13,000) and financial activities (-11,000). Over the past year, from April 2025 to April 2026, private education and health services led with 618,000 new jobs, followed by leisure and hospitality with 142,000. The largest declines came in federal government (-311,00) and information (-92,000). Wage growth remained moderate over the year. Average nominal weekly and hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls both increased by 3.57%. For production and nonsupervisory employees, average nominal weekly earnings rose 3.97%, while average nominal hourly earnings increased 3.67%. The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey for March 2026 showed job openings declining by 56,000 to 6.87 million, with the rate falling to 4.1%. Private education and health services and financial activities posted gains in openings, while professional and business services experienced the largest drop. Hires increased sharply by 655,000 to 5.55 million, and total separations rose by 356,000 to 5.38 million, with both quits and layoffs and discharges seeing notable increases. In Arizona, the labor market softened in March as the state lost 2,600 net payroll jobs and the unemployment rate edged up 0.1 percentage points to 4.7%, following a gain of 10,100 jobs the previous month. Over the past 12 months, Arizona has lost 8,600 net payroll jobs while its unemployment rate has risen 0.5 percentage points from 4.2%. The state’s private sector lost 2,400 jobs in March, and employment overall fell by 19,093 during the month. Arizona’s labor force participation rate declined to 61.4% ranking 34th in the nation. From February to March 2026, Arizona saw gains in private education and health services and professional and business services, offset by losses in leisure and hospitality and trade, transportation, and utilities. Over the full year, private education and health services rained the strongest performer in the spare, while trade, transportation, and utilizes and financial activities posted the largest declines. Nationally, the labor force participation rate stood at 61.9% in March. Ethan Faverino is a reporter for AZ Free News. You can send him news tips using this link.

The Telegraph reported the change comes amid heightened global tensions following the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other officials during a recent conflict. Khamenei was killed in an Israeli strike in Tehran as part of a coordinated U.S.-Israeli military operation earlier this year, Fox News Digital previously reported. The constitutional revision was approved during a session of North Korea’s Supreme People’s Assembly, which opened March 22 in Pyongyang, the outlet said. ISRAEL TARGETS IRAN’S SUPREME LEADER IN SWEEPING STRIKES AS US JOINS ‘OPERATION EPIC FURY’ South Korea’s National Intelligence Service (NIS) briefed senior government officials this week on the update, according to the report. The revised policy outlines procedures for retaliatory action if North Korea’s leadership is incapacitated or killed. "If the command-and-control system over the state’s nuclear forces is placed in danger by hostile forces’ attacks … a nuclear strike shall be launched automatically and immediately," the updated provision states. KIM JONG UN CALLS SOUTH KOREA ‘MOST HOSTILE ENEMY,’ SAYS NORTH COULD ‘COMPLETELY DESTROY’ IT Reuters previously reported that North Korea revised its constitution to define its territory as bordering South Korea and remove references to reunification, reflecting Kim’s push to formally treat the two Koreas as separate states. That marked the first time North Korea included a territorial clause in its constitution. Last month, Kim pledged to further strengthen the country’s nuclear capabilities while maintaining a hard-line stance toward South Korea, which he has called the "most hostile" state. Kim has also accused the United States of "state terrorism and aggression," and signaled North Korea could take a more active role in opposition to Washington amid rising global tensions.

Labour MP Catherine West told the BBC that if a Cabinet minister does not challenge Starmer by Monday, she will trigger a leadership contest herself. West said she was putting the Cabinet "on notice." "I’m putting people on notice — if I don’t hear by Monday morning of some leadership hopefuls, I will be asking everybody in the Parliamentary Labour Party to put a name against my name, because we need to get this ball rolling," she told the outlet. TRUMP ‘RIGHT TO BE OUTRAGED’ BY EUROPE’S BETRAYAL ON IRAN, SAYS FORMER THATCHER ADVISOR "But my preferred option is for the Cabinet to do a reshuffle within itself, where there’s plenty of talent and for Keir to be given a different role, which he might enjoy, perhaps an international role, and then for others to come to the fore, who can communicate the message, who are very able, so we can have minimum fuss," she continued. West, a former junior Foreign Office minister, would need support from 20% of Labour MPs — or 81 members — to trigger a contest. She said about 10 MPs are backing her effort and expressed confidence more would join, according to the report. 200,000 SMALL BOAT ARRIVALS LOOM AMID UK RAISING THREAT LEVEL TO ‘SEVERE’ FOLLOWING RECENT TERROR ATTACK Labour suffered roughly 1,400 losses across the U.K. in this week’s elections, with Reform UK making significant gains, according to GB News. Starmer accepted responsibility for the losses but resisted calls to resign, saying he was "not going to walk away and plunge the country into chaos." Still, he has not explicitly ruled out a managed exit and is expected to address the situation on Monday. ONLYFANS MODEL INTERRUPTS PLAY AT WORLD SNOOKER CHAMPIONSHIP IN BRITAIN As of late Friday, 22 Labour MPs had publicly called for the prime minister to step down or set a timeline for his exit, the BBC reported. West did not name a preferred replacement. "I don't have a candidate," she said. "That's part of the problem." "But I think there are several people who would like to do it, who have been planning for months, but I'm very surprised that none of them has popped up today to say 'I will do it'," she added.

Alex Jenkinson, 39, is accused of using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behavior toward the former prince, whose royal titles were removed last year by King Charles III due to his connections to Jeffrey Epstein. Jenkinson, who faces two counts, is accused of threatening Andrew on Wednesday and another man on Tuesday. The former Duke of York is also expected to give evidence in the trial, which is set for July 29 at the Westminster Magistrates' Court.

"Officers attended, and the man was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence and possession of an offensive weapon," the police statement said. The incident comes three months after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, as he is now known, was arrested, himself, on suspicion of misconduct in public office connected to his Epstein ties and his time as the U.K. trade envoy. Andrew moved to Sandringham earlier this year after he was asked to vacate his home at the Royal Lodge in Windsor.

He did plead guilty to failing to provide specimen of blood while in custody. Jenkinson was released on bail on the condition that he doesn’t enter the county of Norfolk, attempt any contact with Andrew, and he must stay 500 meters away from Sandringham, Buckingham Palace, Balmoral Castle, Windsor Castle and Highgrove.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ffeb79a200899a00e910f6 Harris accuses Trump allies of trying to ‘rig’ 2026 midterms after Virginia court tosses redistricting measure te 2026-05-10T02:20:41.889Z Harris accuses Trump allies of trying to ‘rig’ 2026 midterms after Virginia court tosses redistricting measure Former Vice President Kamala Harris accused President Donald Trump and Republicans of trying to "rig the 2026 elections" after the Virginia Supreme Court invalidated a voter-approved redistricting referendum, a ruling she said would "give a boost" to that effort. "Today, the Virginia Supreme Court ignored the will of the people and overturned those democratically chosen maps," Harris wrote on X on May 8. "This ruling gives a boost to Donald Trump's effort to rig the 2026 elections and the Republicans' long game to attack voting rights," she added. The ruling marked a significant victory for Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms and escalated an already intensifying national battle over redistricting and control of Congress. VIRGINIA SUPREME COURT RULES ON NEW CONGRESSIONAL MAP "We hold that the legislative process employed to advance this proposal violated Article XII, Section 1 of the Constitution of Virginia," the state’s high court said in its decision. "This constitutional violation incurably taints the resulting referendum vote and nullifies its legal efficacy." The measure, which passed by a narrow 51% to 49% margin, would have temporarily shifted redistricting authority from Virginia’s nonpartisan commission to the Democrat-controlled legislature through 2030 and was expected to yield a 10-1 Democratic advantage in the state’s congressional delegation. Trump praised the decision in a post on Truth Social, calling it a "Huge win for the Republican Party, and America, in Virginia." 'JUSTICE': CELEBRATION, MOCKERY ERUPT AFTER SPANBERGER 'GERRYMANDER' IS BLOWN UP IN BLOCKBUSTER DECISION "The Virginia Supreme Court has just struck down the Democrats’ horrible gerrymander," he wrote. Democrats sharply criticized the ruling. Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin said "a group of unelected judges on the Virginia Supreme Court chose to put partisan politics over the will of the people." Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones also pushed back, saying the decision "silences the voices of the millions of Virginians who cast their ballots" and that his office is evaluating "every legal pathway forward." ERIC HOLDER ACCUSES GOP OF 'STEALING SEATS' WHILE DEFENDING 'FAIR' DEMOCRATIC REDISTRICTING PUSH Harris echoed that sentiment in her post, writing, "We are rightfully outraged, but we will not give up. We must continue our fight to restore the power of the people." Her comments come as she has stepped up attacks on Trump in recent appearances while facing renewed questions about her political future. At a recent event in Las Vegas, Harris said, "For far too many people in our country, the American dream, is not real. And in fact, for many people in their lived experience, it's what they would consider an American myth." KAMALA HARRIS' TRAVELS AND COMMENTS CLEARLY POINT TO 2028 She also declined to downplay Trump, saying, "I’m not going to dismiss him as being an idiot. He’s dangerous." At the same time, top Democrats have been reluctant to weigh in on whether Harris should lead the party in 2028. "I have no idea," Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., told Fox News Digital when asked about her future. "I have no idea who's running, and we'll focus on 2028 after 2026," Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., said. Rep. John Larson, D-Conn., said the decision ultimately rests with Harris but added he believes Democrats should have "a wide-open Democratic primary." The Virginia ruling is the latest flashpoint in a broader redistricting fight as both parties position themselves ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Harris, for her part, signaled she intends to remain engaged. "I firmly and strongly believe that when you feel powerless, you are powerless," Harris said. "And when you feel powerful, you are powerful. And we are powerful and we are powerful. And so let's just show ourselves, each other, our power around the midterms and every day."

Clark and the Indiana Fever hosted the Dallas Wings on Saturday afternoon in a matchup featuring the four most recent No. 1 overall picks. The Wings outlasted the Fever 107-104, but the game was defined by Azzi Fudd’s — the most recent top pick — underwhelming debut. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Fudd played 18 minutes off the bench, scoring three points — the lowest ever by a No. 1 overall pick in a WNBA debut. Wings coach Jose Fernandez addressed Fudd’s performance after the game, encouraging the rookie to, "Keep doing what she’s doing, it’s her first year in the league. We got five really talented backcourt players." EX-WNBA STAR CRITICAL OF SKY ROOKIE HAILEY VAN LITH, BELIEVES POPULARITY PLAYED ROLE IN DRAFT SELECTION In addition to Fudd, Dallas’ backcourt features last year’s top draft pick Paige Bueckers, last season’s No. 12 overall pick Aziaha James, four-time All-Star Arike Ogunbowale and starting guard Odyssey Sims. Until Saturday, Kelsey Plum held the record for the lowest-scoring debut by a No. 1 pick. Selected first overall by the then-San Antonio Stars in 2017, she scored just four points in her debut. The Stars relocated to Las Vegas in 2018 and was subsequently rebranded as the Aces. Despite the slow start to her first season in the league, Plum ended the year with All-Rookie team honors. In the years since, she's been named to four All-Star teams and won two championships with the Aces. The Wings’ decision to take Fudd with the No. 1 overall pick drew controversy, raising questions about whether Bueckers’ personal relationship with her influenced the selection. Late last month, Bueckers said last month it did not. "Azzi Fudd was the No. 1 draft pick because she earned it, and it had nothing to do with me and everything to do with who she is as a human being, who she is as a basketball player," Bueckers said, according to ESPN. Neither Bueckers nor Fudd has publicly updated their relationship status since the April draft. "Quite frankly, I believe me and Azzi’s personal relationship is nobody’s business but our own," Bueckers also said in April. "And what we choose to share is completely up to us." Next up, the Wings play their home opener on Tuesday when they host the Atlanta Dream. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced on Friday a civil lawsuit against nonprofit We Push for Peace and its former directors, Trahern Pollard and Jaclyn McGuigan. The organization, which held lucrative contracts for community outreach and violence prevention, was driven into the ground by "rampant abuse" and blatant self-dealing, prosecutors allege. According to the complaint, Pollard personally pocketed more than $6 million of the diverted charitable funds. Instead of helping the community, the charity's money allegedly fueled a life of luxury for Pollard, paying for trips to Las Vegas, luxury vehicles and massive shopping sprees at a Harley Davidson showroom and spa stores. INSIDE MINNESOTA’S $1B FRAUD: FAKE OFFICES, PHONY FIRMS AND A SCANDAL HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT Pollard is also accused of using the nonprofit to pay off his child support, settle a personal tax bill with the IRS, and subsidize his private, for-profit businesses — including a used car dealership and liquor store. McGuigan, who acted as the charity's treasurer, allegedly transferred a recurring $1,000 per week of nonprofit funds into her own personal account and stole thousands more in government grant funds that she claimed were for "administrative" expenses. "Instead of helping the community, they helped themselves to millions of dollars that should have gone into the community," Ellison wrote in a statement. MASSIVE MEDICAID FRAUD SCHEME PUTS MINNESOTA’S FEDERAL FUNDING AT RISK — AND FALLOUT COULD WIDEN Prosecutors noted that when the City of Minneapolis requested the nonprofit's assistance during Operation Metro Surge, a major Homeland Security enforcement operation in Minnesota, the once-multimillion-dollar organization was "utterly incapable" of answering the call. When state investigators began closing in, Pollard allegedly submitted false statements under the penalty of perjury, falsely claiming a child support payment was "nonprofit overhead" and that a $35,000 payout to his personal friends was "Chicago payroll." To justify the missing millions, prosecutors claim Pollard quickly incorporated a fake "for-profit arm" of the charity just days after the Minnesota Attorney General's Office began asking questions. He also allegedly set up another new, for-profit corporation called "Change Makers" to drain the nonprofit's remaining revenue and diverted lucrative community liaison contracts, including a deal with Whole Foods, away from the charity and straight into his newly formed private company, according to court documents.

There are the ones you think about ahead of time, and there are the more spur-of-the-moment ones. But, a minor league pitcher has taught me that there's another kind of celebration: the kind that is spur of the moment, but you probably should've thought about it ahead of time. Especially when there are kids in the crowd... or people who just don't want to see some guy hump turf. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! The Iowa Cubs — no prizes for guessing who they're the Triple-A affiliate of — hosted the Cleveland Guardians-afiflated Columbus Clippers on Thursday, and during the game, things got, uh... interesting. Cubs infielder Owen Miller was at the plate facing Columbus righty Pedro Avila. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Miller took a swing at a 1-2 pitch and sent a low, soft line drive just to Avila's left, with the pitcher making an impressive grab. It was a nice play and the third out of the inning, so how to celebrate? Well, Avila had an idea... Jeez. Throw on a little Barry White and get that turf a cigarette after that. I mean, you always want to have a guy on your team who loves the sport, but maybe not quite like that. Quietly, the best part was that the announcer said Avila was "entertaining the children in attendance with some gyrations." Because that's what kids are big on. Gyrations. But even the Columbus Clippers' social media was at a loss for words after that one. You probably saw that in that post on X, the Iowa Cubs asked "y'all good?" after that celly. Well, they're not even sure if they are. It was a wild moment, and I'm pretty sure it's not one that Avila's Columbus Clippers teammates will let him live down anytime soon.

Jaclyn Skuce, 43, of Madison, was convicted of capital murder after hiring a man to kill the child’s father in order to prevent him from gaining custody or further visitation, the Morgan County District Attorney’s Office said. The Hartselle Police Department was dispatched on July 24, 2020, to a residence for a welfare check after Anthony Larry Sheppard failed to appear in court for a scheduled custody hearing. His attorney had asked officers to check on him, investigators said. Upon arrival, police discovered Sheppard’s storm door shattered and the main door ajar. FORMER COLLEAGUES DETAIL CHP CAPTAIN’S SPIRAL BEFORE ALLEGED MURDER-FOR-HIRE PLOT AGAINST HUSBAND Officers later found Sheppard dead with multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators determined that Skuce hired Logan Delp to kill Sheppard in order to prevent him from gaining custody or further visitation with his child. Prosecutors said Skuce used social media to hire the hitman, who lived in Hartselle, according to the Hartselle Enquirer. She allegedly offered to pay $30,000. TEXAS INFLUENCER SENTENCED TO 10 YEARS IN PRISON FOR MURDER-FOR-HIRE PLOT "There are never any winners in a case like this," Chief Assistant District Attorney Garrick Vickery said following the verdict. "This jury was incredibly thorough and took their time to make sure they made the right decision, both for Mr. Sheppard and for the defendant." Vickery added, "We are glad that they convicted her for the choice she made to take Mr. Sheppard away from his family." Skuce was found guilty of three counts of capital murder: murder for hire, murder of a witness, and murder committed by shooting into an occupied dwelling. Four other defendants have been charged with capital murder in connection with Sheppard’s death. Delp was convicted of capital murder in October 2025, the DA’s office said. Another defendant has pleaded guilty, and two others are awaiting trial. Skuce will be imprisoned without the possibility of parole in the Alabama Department of Corrections.

The Vancouver Giants play in the Western Hockey League, one of the three leagues — along with the Ontario Hockey League and the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League — that make up the Canadian Hockey League, the top tier of junior hockey in North America. The WHL held its annual draft this week, and that's why 85-year-old scout Terry Bonner hopped on the league's draft stream to discuss their latest pick. However, he wanted to talk about the woman working the desk. "Well, thank you very much," Bonner said. "You're a good-looking girl." TENNESSEE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER CENSURED AFTER CALLING STUDENT ‘HOT’ AT MEETING All right, I understand that it's 2026 and this is no bueno, even though that's about as benign as a comment like that gets. The anchor was there to do a job and was being as professional as can be, and that wasn't necessarily reciprocated. But... We need to give old guys a longer leash on stuff like this. I mean, that was kind of borderline to begin with, and then when you realize it came from an 85-year-old, we should just move on. I'm not saying he was in the right, I'm saying let's not waste energy getting mad at an old guy for doing an old guy thing. I think a quick, "Hey, Terry, pal, you can't tell women they're good-looking anymore... yeah, bud, I know it's a compliment, but that's how it is now," would've sufficed. Nope. Cue the fine and the groveling league apology. "Accountability is a cornerstone value of our League – that includes both players and staff.  In this instance, regardless of intent, the remarks are not reflective of the organization’s standards of respect and inclusion," WHL Commissioner Dan Near said in a statement after announcing the Giants had been fined $5,000 for conduct detrimental to the league. Whoa. That's a little heavy-handed, no? Well, lessons learned, I suppose. Make sure your elderly scout knows modern social norms before appearing on a livestream... also explain to him what a livestream is. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ffcd03a200899a00e90932 Transgender athlete AB Hernandez dominates three jumping events at California postseason track meet te 2026-05-10T00:10:43.746Z Transgender athlete AB Hernandez dominates three jumping events at California postseason track meet YORBA LINDA, Calif. — A California postseason track meet on Saturday opened with a "Save Girls’ Sports" rally outside the gates and ended in familiar fashion, as one athlete again separated from the field in the jumping events, highlighting growing concerns over competitive fairness in girls’ sports. Saturday’s CIF Southern Section Division 3 preliminaries in Yorba Linda drew attention before competition began, with demonstrators protesting California’s policy allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls’ sports. Inside, the focus turned to the jumping events, where biological male AB Hernandez, a senior from Jurupa Valley, competed against women and finished first across all three competitions with dominant performances. RALLY ERUPTS AT CALIFORNIA GIRLS' TRACK MEET AMID TRANS FEUD BETWEEN WHITE HOUSE AND NEWSOM'S OFFICE Hernandez, a trans multi-sport athlete (previously involved in girls' volleyball), won the Long Jump Division 3 Prelim and Triple Jump Division 3 Prelim by wide margins and tied for first in the High Jump Division 3 Prelim with Reese Hogan, an athlete with past ties to Hernandez. The long jump result separated the field. Hernandez posted 20 feet, 4 1/4 inches. The next closest finishers reached 19 feet, 1 1/2 inches and 18 feet, 7 inches. More than a foot separated first from second. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! The triple jump underscored the disparity. Hernandez recorded 42 feet, 4 inches. The runners-up finished at 39 feet, 7 1/2 inches and 37 feet, 8 inches. The growing attention around the issue was evident in the stands at Yorba Linda High School, which hosted the prelims. One grandparent in attendance, there to support Moorpark High School, pointed to how familiar the situation has become. "It happened last year and I thought it’d be done, but it’s California," the grandparent said with a shrug. Another parent, a father from Yucca Valley, voiced a general agreement with the concerns around trans athletes. "I think they should have their own division. I just don’t like bullying one kid," he said. The high jump brought past competitor Reese Hogan back into the fold. Hernandez and Hogan both cleared 5 feet, 2 inches, finishing tied for first. Hogan previously drew attention after stepping onto the first-place podium spot following an event Hernandez had won, a move championed by pro women’s sports advocates as a statement about who should hold that position. On Saturday, the two athletes met again at the top of the standings, and the result was a tie. Outside the venue, the earlier rally led by former NCAA athlete Sophia Lorey focused on fairness and competitive balance in girls’ sports. In an individual sport, removed from any team dynamic, the results board made the fairness debate hard to ignore. Hernandez’s marks told the story: a long jump of 20 feet, 4 1/4 inches, a triple jump of 42 feet, 4 inches, and a high jump tie at 5 feet, 2 inches. Hernandez competed under rules California has allowed for more than a decade. Those rules remain at the center of a growing conflict between state officials and federal leaders over Title IX and women’s sports. That battle has now moved into the courts, with the Department of Justice suing California over its transgender athlete policies. In response, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office distanced the governor from the lawsuit, emphasizing he was not personally named while defending the state’s existing law. Saturday’s prelims in Yorba Linda added more data to the growing push to keep biological males out of girls’ events. The protest set the tone early, and by day’s end the argument had moved off the sidewalk and onto the results board, where the outcome carried real consequences.
