https://meenews.co/post/69efc9f3059ccda1fcc31174 Mike Vrabel back at Patriots facility after just two days away, raising eyebrows across the NFL te 2026-04-27T20:41:23.652Z Mike Vrabel back at Patriots facility after just two days away, raising eyebrows across the NFL Mike Vrabel was back in his office at the New England Patriots facility on Monday after taking the weekend off to strike some sort of balance between, as he put it, the two most important things in his life, which are his family and his football team. But Vrabel balancing those two things may prove challenging because, as NFL observers are noting, he's tried balancing acts in the past. And failed. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE So it is of little surprise that his new narrative about balance is being met with skepticism around the NFL. Vrabel spent Saturday and Sunday with his family amid a scandal involving former NFL insider for The Athletic Dianna Russini. Vrabel and Russini have been shown together in photos made public over the past three weeks at an Arizona resort embracing and holding hands as well as spending time in a hot tub and lounging by a pool. The pair has also been captured together in other non-football settings dating back to 2020. And even as Russini eventually resigned from The Athletic amid the media company's investigation into the relationship and then deleted her X account, the coach has offered varying accounts and comments on the issue with the latest coming last Thursday when he made the point he would be spending time with his family and seeking counseling. "I have committed to seeking counseling, starting this weekend," Vrabel said in a statement announcing he'd miss the last day of the NFL Draft. "What I believe is best for the two most important things in my life — my family and this football team — is for us to take the necessary steps to work together and to give them what I told them I'd give them, which is the best version of me," Vrabel added just before the start of the draft on Thursday. "That's what we're going to do. That's going to start, that has started, that will continue this weekend and it will continue for however long it takes for me to give them and complete that promise of giving them the best version of me possible." And this is where Vrabel is already running into a credibility problem: People around the NFL are watching all this and doing what NFL people do by studying their opponent. And some who spoke to OutKick with the understanding their names would not be used said they're not buying Vrabel's story. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! "What kind of counseling begins on the weekend?" one NFL talent evaluator asked. "Is he getting counseling or getting away with his wife and kids, or just avoiding having to do another press conference where he refuses to tell the whole truth?" an NFC pro player director said. "I'm having trouble keeping his story straight." The skepticism comes with some background because Vrabel has been practically all over the place since this story turned into something of a soap opera. The coach initially dismissed the photos and accompanying story. "These photos show a completely innocent interaction and any suggestion otherwise is laughable," Vrabel told the New York Post in a statement. Then the story picked up steam and Vrabel changed his dismissive tune. "I don't think those comments, um, I think that was an attempt to protect your family and I would never be dismissive," Vrabel said. Vrabel also was asked how long his indefinite time away from the team might last. He said he had no idea, suggesting it might take a while. "I can't answer that," he said. "I can only say that whatever my family needs, that's what I'll provide ... I'm not sure what's going to be needed of me, but I just know I'm going to take the necessary steps with the people that I care about — that's my family and this team." The family apparently didn't need him as much as the Patriots did on Monday. The team last week started the offseason conditioning program which continues this week. Vrabel, back in the office, is expected to be around the facility for that. And this: Many people in the NFL have at different times heard Vrabel preach about the importance of family, dating back to his time as the Tennessee Titans head coach. During practically every draft, he's made a point of asking his team's picks about their family. But, as one executive pointed out, Vrabel's long-understood concern for family — including his own — now rings hollow as everyone forms opinions about the relationship the coach had with Russini that came at the expense of his family.

Mortality rates for rectal cancer are growing two to three times faster than those for colon cancer among adults aged 20 to 44, according to a study to be presented at Digestive Disease Week 2026 in Chicago. The data suggests that for older millennials, specifically those between the ages of 35 and 44, rectal cancer mortality is projected to escalate through 2035. BRAIN AGING MAY ACCELERATE AFTER CANCER TREATMENT, STUDY SUGGESTS "Colorectal cancer is no longer considered predominantly a disease of older adults," said lead author Mythili Menon Pathiyil, a gastroenterology fellow at SUNY Upstate Medical University. "Rectal cancer, especially, is becoming a growing problem in younger individuals." The researchers analyzed Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) death records from 1999 to 2023.  Using a machine learning model to project future trends, the team found that the mortality gap between the two types of cancer is widening across every demographic. Hispanic adults and residents of Western states experienced the steepest increases in rectal cancer deaths, the study found. MORE AMERICANS MAY BE CLASSIFIED AS OBESE UNDER NEW DEFINITION, STUDY SUGGESTS A primary concern raised by the research is the diagnostic delay often experienced by younger patients. "Young people are being diagnosed with rectal cancers at increasingly younger ages — and often at more advanced, aggressive stages of disease," Rachel Gordon, M.D., a New York-based colorectal and general surgeon at Episcopal Health Services, told Fox News Digital. "We’re seeing a combination of lifestyle and environmental exposures, including diet and changes in the gut microbiome, potentially playing a role," said Gordon, who was not involved in the study.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES Pathiyil noted that primary care providers often dismiss red-flag symptoms in young people — such as rectal bleeding or changes in bowel habits — as benign conditions like hemorrhoids. "If something doesn’t feel right, or if you experience symptoms such as rectal bleeding (bright red or dark), persistent changes in bowel habits (including diarrhea or constipation), narrow stools, a feeling of incomplete bowel emptying, abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss or fatigue, it’s important to see your doctor promptly," Gordon advised. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ The findings suggest that current screening strategies may need to be reevaluated, according to Pathiyil. "Our study shows that rectal cancer is driving much of the increase in colorectal cancers," she added.  "It’s likely to worsen over time if we don’t change what we are doing right now."

Suns’ Dillon Brooks leaning into bad-boy role in career offensive year te 2026-04-27T20:31:08.466Z Villainy or competitive edge? Suns’ Dillon Brooks leaning into bad-boy role in career offensive year PHOENIX – Dillon Brooks knows what you think of him.  For his entire career, the Phoenix Suns forward has heard the boos, the taunts and the social media comments. He knows the one word that follows him around wherever he goes: villain.  Brooks doesn’t run from the noise. He uses it and accepts his role as the proverbial bad guy. “I know that if you just met me, or if you’re playing against me, you probably just think I’m a troll or an asshole or whatever,” Brooks wrote recently in a piece for the Players’ Tribune entitled “No Way in Hell They Wanna See Us.” “But there’s a method to the madness. You can ask any teammate I’ve ever played with, and I’m pretty sure they’d tell you, ‘That motherf– drove me crazy sometimes, but I loved playing with him.’” Love them or hate them, there are some athletes who simply love to be hated. Brooks’ love for being the villain is clearly embodied in his style of play, constantly jawing at opponents and pushing the limits of physicality allowed in the NBA – a style that has been on full display in the 2026 NBA playoffs against the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder. Through the first three games of the series, Brooks has averaged five fouls per game and was a part of a double-technical foul assessed to him and the Thunder’s Luguentz Dort in Game 2.  Another staple of Brooks’ mentality is his unwavering confidence. Following the Suns’ Game 3 loss, in a game where reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander posted 42 points on a staggering 15-of-18 shooting, Brooks stayed true in his belief in himself and his team.  “(Gilgeous-Alexander) is efficient,” Brooks said. “I got him in Game 4.” Despite Brooks’ villainy drumming up headlines, the real story around him in this series has been his outstanding offensive production. Despite having never been a true No. 1 scoring option, Brooks is leading the Suns in scoring with 27 points per game this postseason – something that has caught the attention of Thunder coach Mark Daigneault. “(Brooks) is a really good player,” Daigneault said. “He’s a guy that attacks the game. He’s got a great mentality. … He’s not afraid to attack the game defensively and be an irritant with opponents – and I say that as a compliment. “He’s clearly a guy that has worked on his game because he has shown marked improvement, year after year, and he’s had a great year for (the Suns). … I think he deserves credit for how he’s jolted their team on both ends of the floor, just with his intangibles. He’s a guy that we have great respect for.” Brooks’ career offensive performance is not limited to the series against the Thunder. Throughout the regular season, he was one of the Suns’ key offensive pieces. Brooks, who came to the Suns in the 2025 offseason as part of the blockbuster deal that sent Kevin Durant to Houston, averaged a career-high 20.2 points per game in the 2025-26 regular season.  Brooks’ transformed offensive game helped lift the Suns well past preseason expectations. The team finished with a 45-37 record – much higher than their projected preseason win total of just 30.5. Despite revolutionizing his scoring and shot-making abilities, Brooks has stayed true to his nature as a villain, a polarizing style that opponents hate to face, but teammates and coaches love. “The edge and competitive spirit that (Brooks) plays with is unmatched,” Suns coach Jordan Ott said. “We knew that competitive spirit would lift our group. … He lifts our group on the floor when he’s there, in the building when he’s there. Every night, to go to war with someone like that … it’s good to have him on our team.”  Despite the praise Brooks receives from those close with the Suns, it’s clear that league referees do not have the same appreciation. In the 2025-26 regular season, Brooks led the NBA in total technical fouls with 17, despite only appearing in 56 games. In addition to the fines associated with these technical fouls, Brooks received a one-game suspension following his 16th technical on Feb. 11.  In the game following this suspension, Brooks suffered a fractured left hand that ultimately kept him sidelined for over a month. The time off was not enough to curb his competitive edge, as Brooks received a technical foul just one minute and 29 seconds into his first game back. In the article Brooks wrote for The Players’ Tribune, he shared stories from his upbringing, including his lifelong love for players such as Joe Dumars, Vin Baker and Dennis Rodman – the villains of their era. Brooks spent much of his life looking up to these hard-nosed competitors, deciding that was the type of player after whom he wanted to model his game. Brooks believes that while he brings the same physical edge and intensity as those NBA legends, the main thing he brings to the table for a team is infectiousness. On every team he plays for, Brooks said he tries to be the anchor for competitiveness. Though loved by teammates, Brooks’ intensity is often met with hostility, not only from opponents, but from NBA fans. Across social media, many fans have been quick to share strong opinions and use the word “hate” when sharing their thoughts on Brooks, or other players with similar villain mentalities.  While fans hating him because they disagree with his playing style fuels Brooks, that mentality is largely dismissed by Arizona State University philosophy professor Shawn Klein. Klein, who specializes in the philosophy of sport, believes that the hate many fans have for players like Brooks is entirely superficial, despite how real rooting interest for sports teams may feel. “It’s hard for me to believe that fans truly hate any of the athletes they watch,” Klein said. “They say they hate them, but is it the same kind of hate you feel in the real world? Is it the same kind of hate you would have for, say, an enemy in a battle who is intent on hurting you or killing you? Obviously not.”  In addition to his belief that people tend to overstate the intensity of their emotions when it comes to sports fandom, Klein also believes that those emotions, even confined within the context of sports, can be superficial. “I’m sure Suns fans who say they love (Brooks) now that he’s in Phoenix hated him when he was on the Rockets or the Grizzlies,” Klein said  “I think as fans, and as human beings, there is this kind of fluidity, or, for lack of a better term, tribalness, when it comes to liking things that are familiar to us.  “When they’re on our side, we love them, we’re rooting for them, and we’re going to put up with, or flat out overlook, some of that villain behavior and antics. Whereas, if we were rooting against them, we wouldn’t.” While many fans are quick to dislike players like Brooks due to their extracurricular antics, it is their drive and competitiveness to be a winner that attracts many others.  When Brooks arrived in Phoenix, media outlets such as The Athletic called the 2025-26 season a “rebuilding year” for the Suns. Brooks disagreed with these assessments, viewing Phoenix’s position as one in which he could thrive and compete. “I’m going to Phoenix,” Brooks wrote in The Players’ Tribune. “I saw what people around the league were saying. The Suns are blowing it up. They’re gonna be rebuilding for years. They want picks. My mentality was, ‘f— that, let’s win.’” Suns fans were quick to accept Brooks and his winning mentality, leaning into his villain persona in the process. Fans bought his jersey, packed out the Arizona Mills mall to attend an event Brooks labeled as the “villain meet & greet,” and a mural of Brooks was even painted in downtown Phoenix.  Suns fans’ devotion to Brooks was on display in Game 3 of Phoenix’s series against the Thunder. Late in the game, even though the Suns were down double-digit points in a must-win contest, Brooks received loud “MVP” chants from the home crowd while he was at the free throw line – a clear reciprocation of Brooks’ commitment to Phoenix. “When guys get traded, they always say, ‘This is the perfect fit.’” Brooks wrote in The Players’ Tribune. “I’d be bullsh–ing if I said I knew it at the time. But I damn sure know it now. Phoenix is my spot. I want to set the culture here for 20 years. I want to retire a Sun.” Helping his team become a consistent postseason presence would be a step in the right direction. That starts with a do-or-die game against the defending champs. “(The Thunder have) been together for quite a while, through ups and downs, and they know how to fight,” Brooks said. “We’ve got to come ready for Game 4.” The post Villainy or competitive edge?

Political rhetoric, particularly the kind that skews toward violent or aggressive imagery from Democrats, and its role in political violence have time and again come under the microscope during Trump’s second term in office. After the apparent third assassination attempt against Trump over the weekend, in which alleged shooter Cole Allen was subdued by federal law enforcement during the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner in Washington, D.C., the Senate's campaign arm is putting a spotlight on aggressive comments three hopefuls, Graham Platner, Abdul El-Sayed and former Gov. Roy Cooper, made in the past. REPUBLICANS RUSH TO GREEN LIGHT WHITE HOUSE BALLROOM FOLLOWING THIRD TRUMP ASSASSINATION SCARE National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesperson Bernadette Breslin slammed Democratic candidates running for the Senate for not lowering the temperature, as they once called for, and for not condemning the shooting over the weekend. "Today’s Democrats are beholden to a Trump-hating base that is dragging their party down a dangerous path," Breslin told Fox News Digital. "Republicans have consistently made clear that political violence has no place in America, while Democrats’ silence is deafening." Calls to tone down the rhetoric reached a zenith after the assassination of political activist Charlie Kirk last year. But that moment has done little to quiet the back-and-forth, particularly on the campaign trail. HOUSE GOP PUSHES BACK ON SENATE'S 'SKINNY' PLAN TO END RECORD-BREAKING DHS SHUTDOWN Platner, who is running to unseat Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, in a race that could determine control of the Senate, did little to tone down his speech on the heels of Kirk’s assassination. "I don’t wanna beat Susan Collins, I want to trounce Susan Collins" Platner said at the time during an interview with Meidas Touch. "I want to give the Republican Party a battering." Platner’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on his past rhetoric or on whether he condemned the shooting. Just a few weeks later, fellow progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who is locked in a contentious three-way Democratic primary vying for outgoing Sen. Gary Peters’, D-Mich., seat, went after Republicans with heated rhetoric. EXPERT WARNS DEMOCRATS RISK BACKLASH OVER FAILURE TO CONDEMN VIOLENT RHETORIC IN THEIR RANKS He put a new spin on a phrase coined years ago by former first lady Michelle Obama during a Fight Oligarchy tour stop run by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., in Michigan. "When they go low, we don’t go high," El-Sayed said. "We take them to the mud and choke them out." El-Sayed did condemn the shooting in Washington, D.C., and said in a post on X that he was "relieved that no members of the administration, media, staff, or bystanders were hurt," but his campaign did not comment on his past rhetoric against Republicans. Former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, who is running to flip retiring Sen. Thom Tillis’, R-N.C., seat in the upper chamber, blasted Trump as a "threat to democracy" and argued that "defeating him is imperative" during the 2024 presidential cycle. A spokesperson for his Senate bid told Fox News Digital that Cooper believed "that political violence of any kind is unacceptable, and he’s grateful to the brave law enforcement members who worked to keep the president and attendees safe on Saturday evening." Meanwhile, the White House is pinning the blame for the weekend shooting on Democrats’ far-left base. "The left wing cult of hatred against the president and all of those who support him and work for him has gotten multiple people hurt and killed, and it almost did so again this weekend," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Monday.

Roosevelt signed executive order 9066, which sent 120,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry into internment camps across the country. While their lives had been upended, many turned to something that reminded them of better times: baseball. The game not only lifted spirits, but those who played in the camps would pave the way for modern Japanese American and international baseball.  For a deeper look at how baseball shaped life inside one of the camps at the Gila River Indian Community, listen to our full story.

Two players at the Tule Lake camp in California. (Photo courtesy of Nisei Baseball Research Project) Japanese American fans filling the stands to watch baseball at an internment camp. (Photo courtesy of Nisei Baseball Research Project) Bill Staples Jr.: This is Zenimura’s wooden home plate from Zenimura field. It was discovered by a family in the late 1990s and they held onto it in their garage. Eric Matsumoto: Bill Staples Jr. is a baseball historian, who has spent more than 20 years studying Japanese American incarceration-era baseball. He is holding an image of home plate from Kenichi Zenimura’s field at Gila River. Battered and worn with nails and knots, the plate in the image rests in trusted hands. Bill Staples Jr.: …and the hands that are holding this is Mas Inoshita. Mas was an elder in the Japanese American community but also well respected in the Gila River Indian Community. Eric Matsumoto: It has been 80 years since the last Japanese American incarceration camp closed. This archival audio is from “Japanese Relocation,” a film produced by the U.S. Office of War Information and the War Relocation Authority, which portrayed the displacement as voluntary and defended the policy. During World War II, about 120,000 people of Japanese descent, two-thirds of them U.S. citizens, were forced from their homes and imprisoned in camps around the country. Arizona had two, with Zenimura and his ballfield being at Gila River. The Gila River Indian community opposed the camps on its land. Tribal council rejected the War Relocation Authority’s plans, even as construction began on wood-frame barracks and guard towers, all surrounded by barbed wire. Those in the camps were prisoners. Bill Staples Jr.: But when we think about baseball in the camps, even who I wrote the biography about, Kenichi Zenimura, he had built two baseball fields before in his life—1925 in Fresno and then 1942 in the Fresno assembly center. The last thing he wanted to do was move again and move into Gila River, and he was depressed for the first two weeks when he was in camp, didn’t unpack his bags. So he’s like a really good microcosm of the mental anguish and the despair of the camp. Eric Matsumoto: The camp first opened in the summer of 1942. The harsh desert sun and barren wasteland took its toll on the prisoners, both physically and mentally. Bill Staples Jr.: They really suffered in the camps. A really high infant mortality rate, cancer rates were high, and then there were suicides as well. For every 10 great games that were played in the camps, there was a suicide or there was even a homicide and people were being shot by guards. Eric Matsumoto: Zenimura helped cultivate Japanese American baseball before the war, and he knew the joy it could bring. So with the help of his sons, he began creating a field. Bill Staples Jr.: I’ve seen photographs, it was the best field of all the 10 camps across the United States. It had seats for 1,500 paying fans and so they raised money for the camps as well. During World War II, it was the best baseball played in Arizona. Eric Matsumoto: Japanese American incarceration is often considered an overlooked and under-taught chapter of U.S. history. Though widely condemned today, the Supreme Court upheld the policy in 1944. The ruling has never been formally overturned, though the court explicitly repudiated it in 2018. Congress also issued a formal apology and reparations to survivors in 1988. Bill Staples Jr.: I reached out to my friend Kerry Yo Nakagawa with the Nisei Baseball Research Project. He was a one-man band, so I joined the board. And now I’m helping him preserve this important chapter in not just baseball history but U.S. history. Kerry Yo Nakagawa: My name is Kerry Yo Nakagawa. Eric Matsumoto: Nakagawa’s goal is to bring visibility to the marginalization of Japanese Americans during World War II through the prism of baseball. Baseball was a beloved sport for Japanese Americans well before the war. Zenimura created a league in Fresno for Nisei, or second-generation Japanese Americans, and was even invited to play an exhibition game with Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in 1927. Kerry Yo Nakagawa: Pre-war Japanese Americans were incredible baseball players. Eric Matsumoto: Baseball had become popular in Japan around the turn of the 20th century and Issei, or first-generation immigrants, continued to play the sport after coming to the United States. Kerry Yo Nakagawa: …one quote by an Issei pioneer saying, “putting on a baseball uniform was like putting on an American flag.” Outside the lines it got a little blurrier. But inside the lines, if you could play the game with the five tools at a high level, you would gain immediate respect. Eric Matsumoto: The five tools—hitting for average, hitting for power, fielding, arm strength, and speed—were there. What wasn’t were the basic resources. But the sense of normalcy that baseball brought drove ingenuity. Kerry Yo Nakagawa: Women… they were able to take mattress ticking, the striped mattress ticking, and make baseball uniforms out of them. Also, the mothers and women, like Tets Furukawa at Gila River, his mom made homemade sliding pads and was able to paint ‘Topaz’ or whatever camp team they played on with stencils and paint so they could have somewhat of a uniform. Eric Matsumoto: For the most part, those sent to the camps were only allowed to bring what they could carry. Their lives had to fit on buses and trains bound for assembly centers and, eventually, incarceration camps. Luxuries were nonexistent. Kerry Yo Nakagawa: …the kids couldn’t even bring in their baseball bats because it was considered a weapon. Evelyn Nakano Glenn: I was a year and a half old. So, my memories are very limited. Eric Matsumoto: Evelyn Nakano Glenn’s earliest memories are from an incarceration camp. Evelyn Nakano Glenn: I kind of remember the immediate barracks quarters that we were in. Eric Matsumoto: Glenn remembers the humiliation of having showers with no divisions and also the physical struggles. Evelyn Nakano Glenn: Sand was always an issue because it was very dry. So there would be these sort of little sandstorms, which I always believed that probably affected my lungs permanently. Sort of these small indignities that I think are really hurtful. Eric Matsumoto: Glenn said her family spoke openly about their experiences, but that wasn’t always the case within the Japanese American community. Evelyn Nakano Glenn: My relatives and my parents were always open about talking about these experiences. In some ways talking about good times and funny times as well as hard times. I was just at the Berkeley Buddhist temple and I met this young woman and I think she’s fourth generation and she’s never heard about the internment, and her parents and grandparents never talked about it. Eric Matsumoto: Today efforts to preserve those stories are taking new forms and are finding new homes. Nakagawa’s Nisei Baseball Research project installs traveling exhibitions around the country. The latest exhibit, which opened in Houston last month, displays pre- and postwar Japanese American baseball through artifacts, images, and documents. Kerry Yo Nakagawa: There was the racist Jim Crow laws of the 20s and 30s. And we had great, great Issei and Nisei ballplayers that had the five tools, they had the passion to play Major League Baseball. But they were banned. So instead of them being bitter, they ended up going to Japan, Korea, China on goodwill baseball tours. And with today’s players in Major League Baseball that don’t have to worry about discrimination, I’m hopeful that when they see our exhibit, they’ll realize that these are their ancestral godfathers, they’re standing on their shoulders. And they wouldn’t be in the position they are today if they didn’t have these pioneers ahead of them that elevated the game, developed the game for them in Asia. Eric Matsumoto: The stories from the incarceration camps matter to more than just Japanese Americans. The catalyst for the camps were ideologies that still marginalize many communities. Bill Staples Jr.: We really are at risk of this happening again. When we go back and look at all the factors that led up to the incarceration, ultimately it was bigotry, racism, greed. It was a failure of leadership. So, we need to hold our leaders accountable, we need to understand our constitutional rights, due process. Every individual that was sent into the camps, they were sent in without a trial. Kerry Yo Nakagawa: I would never have thought, Eric, in 2026 that history has absolutely repeated itself and we’re having the current administration cancel our history to eliminate the valor and courage of the 442, 100th, and MIS during WWII. Eric Matsumoto: Nakagawa refers to the U.S. Army’s temporary removal of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team. In March of 2025, following an executive order from President Trump, the army took down and later republished the 442nd RCT’s webpage, while removing any categorization about Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Kerry Yo Nakagawa: Our uncle, John T. Suzuki was Senator Inouye’s radioman during World War II and they helped save the Lost Battalion in France. It took 800 Nisei casualties to save 200 Texans’ lives in WWII. Eric Matsumoto: Most of the generation that was on the ballfields at Gila River is gone. And those who were children during incarceration won’t be around for much longer. But even amid the hardships, there was joy. Zenimura was able to have the Tucson Badgers, the undefeated state champions, come to Gila River and play against the high school team he coached. Staples remembers the words of Tets Furukawa, whom we heard about earlier, the player whose mother made sliding pads. Furukawa pitched all 10 innings in an 11-to-10 victory over Tucson Badgers, but even with that memory, he held anger for decades after incarceration. Toward the end of his life, that began to change. Furukawa stressed to Staples… Bill Staples Jr.: …the importance of forgiveness, not just for individuals but even for our country and our government. And really it was a gift he was giving himself so he could let go of that anger as a young man. And I thought that was really fascinating to see. He was over 90 years old and he had to find a place in his heart to just forgive the world for what happened to him and his family. Eric Matsumoto: For Cronkite News, I’m Eric Matsumoto.

In a divided decision, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday tossed out a challenge to a Texas law with virtually identical language. The majority concluded that the groups trying to get SB 4 declared unconstitutional lacked the legal standing to sue. What makes that important is that Proposition 314, approved by Arizona voters in 2024 by a margin of more than 3-2, has a clause making its enforcement contingent on whether SB 4 was found to be legal. The new ruling in Texas is not the last word. It could mean, however, that the only thing holding up enforcement of the Arizona law is a final ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court. But there’s more than Prop. 314 at stake. The Texas Republicans who pushed for approval of SB 4 anticipated the issue would end up in the nation’s high court. More importantly, they said that the case might convince the Supreme Court to revisit the landmark 2012 ruling — in front of a less conservative court — which overturned Arizona’s controversial 2010 immigration measure, SB 1070. In that 2012 ruling, the justices allowed some provisions to take effect, such as requiring police, when they have stopped someone for any reason, to check that person’s immigration status if there is a reasonable suspicion they are undocumented. But they voided other sections, including one that would have allowed police to make warrantless arrests if they believe a person is violating federal immigration law. Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing the majority decision, said that conflicts with federal law because it would allow the state to decide, without input from the federal government, whether an arrest was warranted. Prop. 314 — the Arizona law whose enforcement is contingent on the fate of Texas SB 4 — contains several sections, including one that increases the penalty for selling fentanyl that results in death and another making it a state-level crime to use fake documents to apply for public benefits or employment. The key provision, however, makes it a crime for “an alien” to enter or attempt to enter Arizona directly from Mexico at any location other than a port of entry. Violations are a Class 1 misdemeanor, which generally means six months in jail. But proponents acknowledged the real purpose of that language was to enhance deportation efforts. It contains language that allows judges, rather than incarcerating individuals, to instead order them to “return to the foreign nation from which the person entered” or to the “nation of origin.” And judges even would have the power to order a state or local law enforcement agency to transport to a port of entry.” After Texas enacted SB 4 in 2023 it was challenged by the Biden administration. A federal district court judge enjoined its enforcement, calling it “patently unconstitutional” because it conflicted with federal immigration enforcement and foreign relations. That decision was upheld by a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals. In the interim, though, the Department of Justice, now under the Trump administration, dropped its appeal. And that left only El Paso County and two immigrant rights groups as the plaintiffs. That proved crucial, with the full appellate court saying that they lacked standing to sue in the first place. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton cheered the ruling. “Texas’s right to arrest illegals, protect our citizens, and enforce immigration law is fundamental,” he said in a prepared statement. “This is a major victory for public safety and law and order.” But Cody Wofsy, deputy director of the ACLU’s Immigrants’ Rights Project, said the new ruling is “a procedural decision,” not addressing the legal merits of the law. “It does not change what every court to examine similar laws has found: SB 4 is unconstitutional,” he said in a statement. “This fight is far from over.” The post Texas court ruling clears path for final decision on Proposition 314 first appeared on Arizona Capitol Times.

In an opening statement at Dallas Wings media day, Bueckers made it clear she wasn’t interested in turning her personal life into a running storyline. "Quite frankly, I believe me and Azzi's personal relationship is nobody's business but our own," the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year told reporters. "And what we choose to share is completely up to us." CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON OUTKICK At the same time, Bueckers addressed the on-court concerns that have fueled a lot of the conversation since draft night. "We've never let anything that happens off the court carry onto the court, and that's what we'll continue to do," she said. Bueckers also shut down the idea — pushed by plenty of armchair women’s basketball analysts — that Fudd’s draft position had anything to do with their relationship. "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, her resilience, her strength and her career-best year at UConn," she said. That last part, of course, echoes what anyone actually paying attention already knew. Fudd was one of the top prospects in this class regardless of where she landed, and the fit in Dallas just made the decision even easier. THE WNBA'S WINGS CAN'T SHIELD PAIGE BUECKERS, AZZI FUDD FROM RELATIONSHIP QUESTIONS FOREVER But the bigger takeaway here is that Bueckers clearly wants to put a lid on this storyline, at least from a personal standpoint. She indicated she plans to address their relationship once, and that’s it. Which, funny enough, is exactly how this could have been handled from the start. You know, instead of that awkward PR intervention at Fudd’s introductory press conference — effectively blowing things way out of proportion — and days of unnecessary speculation and Internet chatter. But hey, better late than never. The elephant in the room can go home now.

Era la primera vez que vivía en la calle y recientemente había perdido su automóvil, el único lugar donde había podido dormir de manera constante. “No me di cuenta de lo difícil que iba a ser, especialmente siendo mujer”, dijo Cheyenne. Cheyenne habló con reporteros de Arizona Luminaria en enero, mientras recorrían la ciudad para conversar con personas que viven sin refugio en el condado de Pima durante el Point in Time Count que se realiza anualmente en la ciudad, un esfuerzo de un solo día que se realiza a nivel nacional para estimar cuántas personas están experimentando la falta de vivienda. En todo el condado de Pima, cientos de mujeres enfrentan la falta de vivienda de maneras similares. Cheyenne se encuentra entre quienes están representadas en el conteo de 2026, el cual encontró que las mujeres y niñas constituyen alrededor del 35% de las personas que experimentan la falta de vivienda a nivel local, mientras que los hombres representan casi dos tercios. En un lote baldío justo al sur de la estación de autobuses Greyhound, Izzy y su amigo recogieron sus bolsas y se movieron lentamente durante la mañana de enero que reportaba los 46 grados. Izzy es Pascua Yaqui y creció en tierras tribales, según contó. Se negó a decir cuánto tiempo ha estado sin vivienda. Pero fue cantinero en un casino y tiene educación. De niño asistió a campamentos de verano. “En estos momentos, no tener hogar es una elección”, afirma. “Algunas personas sufren traumas o simplemente nunca tuvieron una familia. Algunas personas nunca lograron salir adelante”. Las personas pueden estar destinadas al fracaso, señaló. “Debe abolirse la ley que hace ilegal ser una persona sin hogar. Hay que sacar la política del bienestar social. Es un problema de atención médica”. Los datos del conteo de 2026 muestran cuán profundamente influyen esos factores estructurales. De las 2,130 personas contabilizadas en situación de falta de vivienda en el condado de Pima, más del 70% vivía sin refugio —en lugares como cauces, aceras y campamentos— en lugar de en albergues o viviendas de transición. Kane Taylor no esperaba permanecer en Tucson tanto tiempo como lo ha hecho, pero le ha resultado difícil irse. Un accidente automovilístico en 2021 le dejó una cojera pronunciada; también lo empujó a una racha de mala suerte que terminó con la pérdida de su apartamento. Había estado sin hogar desde 2021. El día del conteo, sus pertenencias estaban en un carrito de compras, y llevaba un suéter gris con la capucha puesta para protegerse del frío de la mañana. “Da miedo porque no sabes si vas a pasar la noche”, dijo Kane. En parte porque puedes ser agredido o asaltado, pero el calor y el frío alternantes también son difíciles. Para personas como Kane, la falta de vivienda a largo plazo es común. El conteo puntual encontró que al menos 829 personas en la región se consideran sin hogar permanente, lo que significa que han experimentado la falta de vivienda durante un año o más mientras también viven con una discapacidad o con una condición de salud. Kane ha tenido dificultades para encontrar un albergue que funcione para él. “Tienes que ir a rehabilitación solo para conseguir un lugar adentro”, dijo Kane. “Con los recortes de financiamiento, todos están perjudicados”. Las cifras reflejan esa brecha. Solo alrededor de una cuarta parte de las personas contabilizadas se alojaba en refugios de emergencia, y aún menos en programas de vivienda segura. Estos recortes de financiamiento también han llevado a una reducción en el número de camas en albergues y, a su vez, a una disminución de las personas alojadas, agravada por renovaciones temporales en los refugios que limitan la disponibilidad de camas. Kane también acumuló varias multas por allanamiento mientras dormía al aire libre en los cauces y parques donde las ordenanzas de la ciudad ahora prohíben dormir. La mayoría de esas multas probablemente tenía órdenes de arresto, pero dijo que acudir a un evento para anular órdenes puede terminar en libertad condicional, un compromiso que le resultaría difícil cumplir sin un teléfono o un lugar estable donde vivir. Estaba ahorrando para un boleto de autobús y una noche en un hotel que le ayudara a salir de Tucson. “No vengan aquí”, fue el consejo de Kane. Casi 400 voluntarios participaron en el conteo de 2026, encuestando a personas en todo Tucson y el condado de Pima el 27 de enero para comprender mejor quiénes están experimentando la falta de vivienda y qué servicios se necesitan. Los resultados muestran una crisis que, aunque se mantiene estable, es amplia: las 2,130 personas en situación de falta de vivienda en todo el condado de Pima representan una disminución del 4% respecto al año pasado. La disminución no prueba una tendencia, ya que la falta de vivienda en el condado de Pima se ha mantenido relativamente estable desde 2022, incluso cuando los datos nacionales muestran aumentos significativos en los últimos años. Se espera ampliamente que las cifras del Point in Time Count sean un subregistro, simplemente porque no es posible contar a todas las personas, según dijeron las autoridades. Pero los datos también ponen de relieve disparidades. Las personas indígenas siguen estando sobrerrepresentadas entre quienes experimentan la falta de vivienda, al igual que los residentes negros. Muchos también viven con graves problemas de salud. Cientos de las personas contabilizadas reportaron enfermedades mentales graves o trastornos por consumo de sustancias. El conteo “nos ayuda a entender cuántos de nuestros vecinos están experimentando la falta de vivienda y la capacidad que requiere el sistema de respuesta a la falta de vivienda para atender las necesidades de la comunidad”, señalaron los organizadores en el informe.

The handbag is a limited edition of Zarini’s "UNITY Bag," which she launched in December 2025.  That bag was the first dedicated to supporting the first lady’s Fostering the Future initiative, which provides scholarships and educational opportunities for children in the foster-care community. That purse sold out within one week of launch. GUCCI HEIRESS LAUNCHES NEW 'UNITY' HANDBAG WITH PROCEEDS BENEFITING MELANIA TRUMP’S ‘FOSTERING THE FUTURE’ The Mother’s Day edition Bag will directly support Fostering the Future initiatives, funding scholarships and opportunities for foster children. Zarini’s AGCF, a U.S.-based luxury accessories brand with a mission to protect and empower children, will donate 20% of all proceeds from the special edition "UNITY Bag" to benefit Fostering the Future. AGCF says protecting the most vulnerable children is "in its truest sense, an act of collective motherhood." "Motherhood is one of the most powerful forces for good in the world," Zarini told Fox News Digital. "This special edition is dedicated to every woman who carries a child in her heart — whether by birth, by choice, or by the extraordinary grace of fostering." FIRST LADY MELANIA TRUMP SCORES WIN FOR AMERICA'S FOSTER YOUTH WITH $25M INVESTMENT "Some of us find our mothers. Some of us become them for others," Zarini continued. "And some of us learn that family is something you have to build yourself, from love that had nowhere else to go." She added: "It is an honor to celebrate the mothers and mother figures who give their unconditional love and devotion to their children with this special edition." Like every Unity Bag, the Mother’s Day edition bears AGCF’s signature gold oval plaque, hand-stitched into the interior and engraved with its unique edition number, which the company says is a "hallmark of authenticity and lasting collectability." Zarini’s first Unity Bag, which Fox News Digital exclusively reported on in December 2025, was a tribute to Fostering the Future, with Zarini saying the initiative is "the purest expression of everything AGCF stands for."  "Giving back to protect and empower vulnerable children is the highest form of luxury — it is the heart of our brand and AGCF’s reason for being," Zarini told Fox News Digital in December 2025.  Zarini, during that interview, praised the first lady. "I have always admired her quiet yet unwavering devotion to children—especially the foster youth who are so often overlooked," Zarini told Fox News Digital. "Her vision for Fostering the Future is truly inspiring, and it is an extraordinary honor to support her initiative." President Donald Trump, alongside the first lady, in March signed the Fostering the Future executive order, which secures commitments for new educational and employment pathways for youth transitioning out of foster care. MELANIA TRUMP CHALLENGES CONGRESS TO MAKE HER FOSTER CARE EXECUTIVE ORDER PERMANENT LAW: 'THEIR BIRTHRIGHT' The first lady in September 2025 also launched Fostering the Future Together — a global coalition of nations committed to enhancing the well-being of children through the promotion of education, innovation and technology. AGCF told Fox News Digital that the "UNITY Bag" carries a "quiet yet powerful message of hope and shared vision: that we must come together — in unity for our children — to protect and uplift them toward a brighter future." The purse is available exclusively at AGCF.com and at the AGCF Boutique on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, California. The purse retails for $2,800.  Zarini created AGCF in 2020, and her nonprofit Alexandra Gucci Children’s Foundation, to raise awareness about child abuse. Zarini, in 2025, won a civil lawsuit against her former stepfather who sexually abused her beginning when she was 6 years old and through early adulthood. "Alexandra’s own childhood story drives her personal commitment to protecting children has shaped her vision of building a brand that transcends exquisite luxury fashion, championing meaningful social change," AGCF said. AGCF donates 20% of all of its profits to causes related to empowering and protecting children.  The company aims to create "sophisticated and enduring pieces that combine ethical artisanal craftsmanship with contemporary vision."

(Photo by Ashley Murray/States Newsroom The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday appeared likely to allow law enforcement to continue seeking warrants for the location history of cellphones near crime scenes, even as the justices wrestled with how far the government must go to protect Americans’ privacy. Some of the justices appeared to be searching for a middle ground during oral arguments in a case out of Virginia challenging what is known as a geofence warrant that was used to catch a bank robber. Several justices asked skeptical questions of both sides, though no one voiced explicit support for prohibiting such warrants altogether. As smartphones have become ubiquitous, along with apps that track users’ movements, the high court is once again wading into how the 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures, applies in the digital era. The justices’ decision, of tremendous interest to state attorneys general, will shape how easy or difficult it is for investigators to sweep up location data. Over the past two decades, geofence warrants have become a major tool of law enforcement. At a basic level, they allow police to identify phones within a geographic area for a certain period of time.  The data can be tremendously valuable to investigators, offering a way to develop suspects in crimes where their identities aren’t otherwise known. Underscoring their importance, a broad bipartisan coalition of states has urged the justices to uphold the warrants. But civil liberties advocates say geofence warrants ensnare people in digital dragnets, handing the government data on anyone who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. They argue that accessing data on anyone within a certain area — the geofence — amounts to a general warrant prohibited by the Constitution. Summing up the high court’s uncertainty in Monday’s arguments, Justice Amy Coney Barrett told U.S. Deputy Solicitor General Eric Feigin, who was arguing in favor of law enforcement access to location data, that while he had described his opponent’s position as maximalist, “there’s a risk of the government’s position being maximalist the other way.” “I was just going to say this seems very complicated from the user’s point of view, frankly,” Barrett said at a different portion of the argument. Credit union robbery The case before the Supreme Court, Chatrie v. United States, arises from a 2019 robbery of a federal credit union in Midlothian, Virginia. Okello Chatrie was convicted of armed robbery after surveillance footage showed the robber using a cellphone. A detective then obtained a geofence warrant directed at Google for devices within 150 meters of the credit union within an hour of the robbery. Google initially provided anonymized data in response to the warrant. The detective then requested and received additional location data on nine users. Finally, the detective received de-anonymized information on three users, without obtaining an additional warrant. While Google has since changed the way it stores location history data to limit geofence warrants, other apps and tech firms collect the data. Lawyers for Chatrie argue that geofence warrants open the door to the authorities requesting information on everyone at a sensitive location — perhaps an abortion clinic or a political convention — at a particular time. “The warrant authorized the government to direct Google to search every single person’s account to find those people who were within the geofence. That is a general warrant,” Adam Unikowsky, a lawyer for Chatrie, told the court. 4th Amendment debate The Supreme Court’s last major decision on 4th Amendment rights and phones came in 2018, when the justices ruled that law enforcement generally needs a warrant for location data derived from when phones connect to a cell site. That data is generated by just having a cellphone, and the justices found that a phone is now a basic element of participating in society. By contrast, the Trump administration argues location history data isn’t protected by the 4th Amendment because users voluntarily share it with Google and other tech firms by turning on location tracking on their phones. Because the information was turned over with their consent, users have no reasonable expectation of privacy. “Petitioner here is asking for an unprecedented transformation of the 4th Amendment into an impregnable fortress around records of his public movements that he affirmatively consented to allow Google to create, maintain and use,” Feigin said. Justice Sonia Sotomayor, one of the court’s three liberal justices, argued that if the government can access location data without a warrant because Chatrie consented to sharing it with Google, then the government could obtain all sorts of other data shared with the company, such as photos and calendar entries. “If this is consent, that means the government can seek those documents for any reason, not just the commission of a crime — or no reason, correct?” Sotomayor said. “Correct. It would not be a search, so no search warrant would be required,” Unikowsky replied. Red and blue states back geofence warrants Thirty-one states and the District of Columbia have filed a court brief arguing that geofence warrants can be more precise than many traditional investigative methods when supported by probable cause and appropriately tailored. In the brief, they urged the justices not to prohibit geofence warrants altogether. State attorneys general across the political spectrum signed on to the brief. They include Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Washington. Geofence warrants can generate critical leads when the perpetrators of crimes are otherwise unknown, they wrote. When suspects are unknown but the suspected wrongdoing is linked to a specific place and time, location data provides one of the narrowest available tools for finding leads, the brief argues. “This Court should make clear that the Constitution does not categorically ban those investigative methods,” the states’ brief reads. Google brief In a court brief, Google said geofence warrants result in invasive searches that are overbroad. Geofence searches, by their nature, have a high risk of sometimes sweeping in thousands of innocent users, the company said. Even small geographic areas covering short periods of time can include hundreds of thousands of people, Google argued. Geofence parameters set by law enforcement often cover more ground than the location of the crime, with private homes, apartments, government buildings, hotels, places of worship and busy roads all included. Lawyers for Google wrote that the company takes no position on whether the warrant in the Chatrie case complies with the 4th Amendment. “But Google firmly believes that, based on the private nature of Location History data, law enforcement was required to obtain a warrant to access that data,” the brief says. Orin Kerr, a Stanford Law School professor and one of the nation’s foremost experts on the 4th Amendment, predicted after the oral argument that the justices would likely rule that geofence warrants can be constitutionally drafted.  However, he was uncertain whether the court would rule on whether the geofence search that identified Chatrie’s phone was a search under the 4th Amendment. “They’ll probably say that geofence warrants have to be limited in time and space,” Kerr wrote on social media.

Is UNC about to tear the college football world apart this season, or WHAT? What else? I've got the best of the rest from a loaded weekend of #content, the Red Sox escorted the fired coaches out of the city in embarrassing fashion over the weekend, and I had a gator escorted from my pond on Saturday. True story. OK, grab you some prime rib for National Prime Rib Day, and settle in for a Monday 'Cap! I have a confession to make ... prime rib? Overrated. It's fine. It's nothing special. I don't know why, but I've never been the biggest fan. And I love a good ribeye steak, which makes it all the more confusing. They're similar, but different. It's dumb. Anyway, my brother is getting married this Saturday and I chose the snapper over the filet. How's that for a choice?

This is true love, folks. Take that, Pablo Torre! Only true love can make a six-time Super Bowl champion coach spend an offseason Saturday dressed like that at an adult gymnastic competitionthat an adult gymnastic competition. North Carolina is getting mocked right now because they didn't have one single player taken in last weekend's NFL Draft. Laugh all you want, losers. Bill doesn't seem fazed in the slightest. I think the Tar Heels are in for a big season. Lock in. OK, let's get to the best #content from a fairly busy final weekend of April! Obviously, the big story this weekend was the White House dinner Saturday night. Luckily, nobody was hurt outside of the scumbag shooter. Good. Anyway, a couple thoughts ... Speaking of, let's rapid-fire this Monday class into a big Monday night. First up? Looks like Alex Cora and his ragtag group of scapegoated coaches are taking the unemployment hard: As OutKick's resident Red Sox fan, I obviously wrote about the van advertisement this morning. Here, I'll even link it for you so you don't have to try and navigate the new website. You're welcome! Anyway, firing Cora is nothing more than putting lipstick on a pig. That's it. Craig Breslow STINKS. John Henry is a generational scumbag. As long as those two are in charge, nothing will change. The Sox made a surprise playoff run last year, and then completely folded over the offseason. Breslow whiffed on everyone. Everyone. Alex Bregman. Pete Alonso. Kyle Schwarber. The Sox needed one bat. They instead lost one, and got none. Breslow then decided to hang on to all five of his outfielders, instead of trading one or two to address another position of need. Now, the team is stuck with a predictable logjam in the outfield, and in the lineup. He replaced Alex Bregman — the team's unquestioned leader last season — with Caleb Durbin at third base. That has been an unmitigated disaster. He traded Kyle Harrison — the top player the team got back in the Rafael Devers trade — to Milwaukee. Harrison is currently 2-1 this season with a 2.28 ERA. That would be, by far, the lowest ERA of any starter in the Red Sox rotation right now. Do I need to keep going? I mean, my goodness. What a joke. PS: The Sox not even having the foresight to bring some Red Sox banners to stick behind these two dummies in Baltimore was so perfect. Amazing. Next? While Breslow was busy placing blame on everyone but himself, I was busy taking care of BUSINESS in my backyard over the weekend: So, we've had two gators in our lake for about a month now. It's just my house and seven other houses that surround the lake, so it's been all the rage in the neighborhood group chat. Anyway, we finally got someone to come out and set the trap in my backyard, which was just a fishing pole with a piece of chicken hanging off of it. I woke up Saturday morning and looked out, and the chicken was gone. She was hooked. This guy came a few hours later, wrestled with her for a few minutes until he got his boot on her mouth, and then just taped it shut. Just regular electric tape. Amazing. She came in at just under six feet. Tiny, yes, but I assume big enough to take out a neighborhood dog or three. So, one down, one to go. God, I love this state. OK, that's it for today. Good start to the week. Take us into it, Brittany Mahomes! OutKick Nightcaps is a daily column set to run Monday through Friday at 4 p.m. (roughly, we’re not robots). Ever wrestled a gator?

Gase, now the pass game coordinator under Jim Harbaugh with the Los Angeles Chargers, didn’t fare well in New York, owning a 9-23 record before being fired after the 2020 season. Bell and Gase both joined the team in 2019, where they went 7-9, but flamed out the next year. Bell made an appearance on the "Respectfully" podcast with Justin Laboy, where he blasted Gase, calling him the "dumbest coach ever." But that wasn’t the worst that was said. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Bell accused Gase of using cocaine in his office. Laboy asked Bell to go further after he said Gase "did a lot of s--- in that office that coaches ain’t supposed to be doing." Then, Bell said that Gase was using "white girl," a slang term for cocaine, and then did a snorting gesture. "I’m like, bro, I ain’t just walk in the office and see my coach [snorting cocaine]," Bell explained to Laboy. "We’re about to go to practice, bro. We got practice in 28 minutes. We got walkthrough, bro. This is what you’re doing in here?" JETS TRADE UP IN FOURTH ROUND OF NFL DRAFT TO SELECT QUARTERBACK WEEKS AFTER GETTING GENO SMITH Bell doubled down, saying he saw Gase do it himself. "It wasn’t just one time. That’s what it did, though. Everybody knows that. That’s what he did. But it was just crazy to me to actually see him doing it. I heard all the stories and shit." The Chargers did not immediately answer a request for comment by Fox News Digital. Bell’s last words there imply he heard from others that Gase allegedly used the illegal substance, though he didn’t go into further detail on that front. Before Gase was hired by the Jets to be their next head coach, he held the same position with the Miami Dolphins from 2016-18, where he went 23-25. His best year was 2016 when the Dolphins went 10-6. Since being fired by the Jets, Gase wasn’t on any coaching staff in the NFL, rather offering consulting insights from time to time. His father-in-law, Joe Vitt, works as a defensive assistant for the Denver Broncos, who he visited during the 2023 and 2025 offseasons to provide insight. Gase also spent time with The 33rd Team as a strategic advisor with Bill Belichick and Matt Patricia in 2024. 2026-27 NFL DEFENSIVE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR ODDS: CAN BAILEY BEAT OUT BUCKEYES? Gase’s time in the NFL began with the Detroit Lions in 2003, working as a scouting assistant before a promotion to offensive assistant in 2005. He eventually worked his way up to quarterbacks coach in 2007 before a quick stint with the San Francisco 49ers the next season. Gase, then, spent a large chunk of his coaching history with the Broncos from 2009-14, the last three seasons serving as the team’s offensive coordinator before the Dolphins gave him a shot as head coach. Meanwhile, Bell’s career didn’t pan out the way he hoped after his contract dispute with the Pittsburgh Steelers ended with him missing the entire 2018 campaign. He eventually signed with the Jets, but after just two games into the 2020 season, he was released. In 2019, his first season back in the NFL, he rushed for 789 yards with three touchdowns, while catching 66 passes for 461 yards and one score. Bell saw time with the Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but never stuck with a team before leaving football in 2021. Bell was a three-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro with the Steelers, who took him 48th overall in the 2013 NFL Draft out of Michigan State. He rushed for 5,336 yards with 42 total touchdowns across his five seasons in Pittsburgh. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Yes, there were several jokes made about a certain high-profile golfer. I'm not going to do that, I'm going to take the high road here and assume he was nowhere near this location at the time. The video claimed what looks like an SUV was driven by a drunk man who was seen urinating in the parking lot before his little adventure at a location in Charlotte, North Carolina. According to the local outlet Queen City News, an incident involving a vehicle on the range at the Topgolf Charlotte University location did take place over the weekend. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH.

The ones about the vehicle was being driven by a drunk driver who took a leak in the parking lot before driving on the range. While some may consider those valuable details to completing the entire picture of what went down, we'll make due without them. What the outlet did pass along were details from a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department report which stated the incident at the Topgolf location took place at around 12:15 am on Sunday.

If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or 1-800-273-TALK (8255). A puzzling deal in Darrell Sheets' final days has raised new questions after the "Storage Wars" star died by suicide. A longtime associate who appeared on the A&E reality TV show recalled an uncharacteristic moment that, in hindsight, felt like Sheets "was tying up his affairs." "It wasn’t the buying and selling that was odd. It was really the interaction," "Storage Wars" star Dusty Riach told Us Weekly. "Because Darrell is not the type of person to just roll over on an offer. He was a fighter for the last dollar in any deal. And he was asking a pretty substantial amount of money for a deal that one of my friends was buying from him. And then my friend kind of shot him quite a large deficit off of what he was asking. And Darrell just was like, ‘Yeah, that’s great.’" 'STORAGE WARS' STAR DARRELL SHEETS WAS 'TERRIFIED FOR HIS LIFE' BEFORE HIS DEATH, CO-STAR CLAIMS "My friend was just like, ‘That’s kind of weird,’ but didn’t think anything of it at the time. For Darrell not to come back at you, it’s just kind of weird. I had no idea, and my friend hadn’t told me until after we found out what happened [to Sheets]. My friend said that it felt like he was tying up his affairs," Riach said, adding that Sheets even called him to ensure the check would clear. Riach said the gap between Sheets’ asking price and what he ultimately accepted only deepened the sense that something was off. "I think Darrell was asking $125,000 and my friend gave him $50,000 [for an estate collection]," he added. "For him to ask that much and then my friend to offer him that — [without Darrell saying] give me $60,000, or like, pushing for an extra five grand … Darrell said yep, that’s fine. "Even the last watch deal I did with Darrell, we were bickering over like, $50 with each other. So I would say this was 110 percent fully out of character for him." LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?

Lake Havasu City police responded to a call regarding a deceased individual on April 22, according to a press release provided to Fox News Digital. Upon arrival, officers found a male with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Sheets was pronounced dead at the scene, and his death is still under active investigation. Shortly after the news of Sheets' death, his "Storage Wars" co-star, Rene Nezhoda, uploaded a video to Instagram, claiming his friend was being cyberbullied online. "Darrell has been posting a lot about the guy that’s been cyberbullying him and tormenting him, and I really hope [law enforcement] look into that guy, and it’s just not a pass," Nezhoda said in the video. Sergeant Kyle Ridgway, public information officer for the Lake Havasu City Police Department, told Fox News Digital, "We are aware of these cyberbullying accusations, and that is a part of the active investigation." CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER Sheets was "terrified for his life" in the years before his death as he dealt with alleged cyberbullying, according to "Storage Wars" star Laura Dotson. "His family told us that this has been happening for three years," Dotson, who appears on the show with her husband, Dan Dotson, told Us Weekly. "[It happens to] even strong men that you think aren’t gonna get their feelings hurt. Cyberbullying is a real thing. This made him feel less than, and it really obviously bothered him. "He was terrified for his life [and] for the people around him. He didn’t know why he was being targeted." Sheets' health and other issues could have contributed to his death, Dotson claimed. "He had other things also," she said. "His health and certain things that might have contributed to [his death]. Relationships, love interests and stuff that would go up and down, but [he] truly, truly was a wonderful, loving person who believed in God." Sheets became famous as a main buyer on "Storage Wars," a reality show that follows bidders competing to buy abandoned storage units. He appeared in more than 160 episodes, starting in 2010. He earned the nickname "The Gambler" during his time on the show due to his high-risk bids on storage units. Fox News Digital's Janelle Ash contributed to this report.

Goldberg, who regularly calls Trump "you-know-who" instead of naming him, said he should build a new hotel with a large ballroom so the WHCA doesn't need to use the Hilton for future events. "Here is something, you-know-who always talks about he is a builder, he knows how to do this," she said. "Maybe he needs to build a new hotel there that has a big enough ballroom, where they don’t have to go to the Hilton, where the ballroom is under the building. This is what he says he does well." "Forget destroying the White House," Goldberg added, referring to Trump ordering the demolition of the east wing of the White House in order to construct a new ballroom to host presidential events. KAROLINE LEAVITT BLASTS NYT BALLROOM COVERAGE, CALLS OUT CRITICS WHO 'NEVER BUILT ANYTHING' "I’m saying maybe it’s time someone built a hotel with a bigger ballroom, because the ballroom, you’re never going to have enough seats for everybody. You’re just not," she continued. "It’s always going to be more people show up, less people, you’re never going to know. Maybe that’s something when he stops being president." The co-hosts discussed the shooting at the WHCA Dinner, during which Trump and members of the Cabinet were evacuated from the hotel ballroom after gunshots rang out. "We have to do a better job, and thank God for the Secret Service," Goldberg said. "Thank God that, you know, this thing was in the basement where they couldn’t — you couldn’t get to him so you had to go here and here and here before you can even get to here. So that’s — thank goodness for that. But there has to be a better way to do this. There just has to be."  The co-hosts acknowledged that it could have been a mass casualty event. Co-host Sunny Hostin said during the discussion that people should be "outraged" that a shooter allegedly tried to kill Trump and members of the administration. THE STABILITY OF OUR GREAT NATION DEPENDS ON PREVENTING POLITICAL VIOLENCE Many Republican lawmakers have promoted the construction of the White House ballroom following the shooting. Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Mont., announced he would try to fast-track a bill to give congressional approval for construction of the ballroom in the Senate when the upper chamber returns this week. He argued that "a president of any party should be able to host events in a secure area without attendees worrying about their safety."

Through Sunday’s games, most teams have played just 17% of the 162-game schedule. But it is getting late in a hurry for two of the teams expected to compete for a World Series this October.  The New York Mets have committed $370 million on player payroll this year, with well over $100 million in luxury tax penalties. The Philadelphia Phillies have committed $290 million to player payroll this year, plus luxury tax penalties. Remember, these are the types of payrolls that sports media, small-market teams and fans have used to push for a work stoppage in the 2027 season and the introduction of a salary cap. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE And yet, as we reach the end of April, both teams have almost eliminated themselves from the National League East, and put their hopes of a postseason spot in serious jeopardy.  This past weekend was supposed to be a turning point for the Mets and Phillies, with key stars returning from injury. Instead, things just got worse. Much worse. Juan Soto rejoined the Mets recently, returning from a calf injury and ostensibly bringing some offensive firepower to New York. Almost immediately, Francisco Lindor then went down with an injury of his own, and the Mets offense somehow got worse.  On Sunday, the Mets played a doubleheader against the lowly Colorado Rockies at Citi Field, and got outscored 6-1 in a sweep. That led to the Rockies posting a suggestion to the Empire State Building in an attempt to troll the Mets. The Rockies have a $122 million estimated payroll for 2026, and $27 million of that is Kris Bryant, whose career is effectively over.  ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! As a team thus far, the Mets lineup is hitting .226/.288/.337. They’ve been 21% worse than league average offensively, leading to scoring 26 fewer runs than an average offense would score. In 28 games. They’ve hit, as a team, 20 total home runs this year. Houston Astros star Yordan Alvarez has hit 11 by himself. In fact, the whole roster has been outhomered by just Alvarez and White Sox third baseman Munetaka Murakami alone. Put it all together and the Mets have scored just 92 runs, the fewest of any team in baseball. They have the second-worst run differential at -29.  The team with the worst run differential? The nearly $300 million Philadelphia Phillies.  The Phillies got Zack Wheeler back from injury this weekend in Atlanta, and while his start did help Philadelphia snap their disastrous 10-game losing streak, they immediately reverted back to form on Sunday, losing 6-2 to Chris Sale. Incredibly, the Phillies are now 3-15 over their last 18 games. As a team, they have an ERA of 5.13, and are hitting .219/.294/.362. Alec Bohm has been arguably the worst everyday hitter in the sport with just a .412 OPS. Again, this is a team with a nearly $300 million payroll and players like Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner, JT Realmuto, Christopher Sanchez and Jesus Luzardo. They’re now 9-19, just like the Mets, with a -50 run differential and 10.5 game deficit in the NL East. This is where many fans will say "it’s early," and yes, it is. But while you can’t win anything in April or May, you can, in fact, lose it. Both teams had playoff probabilities exceeding 85% just a few weeks ago. Yet as of Monday, have seen their odds drop into the low 30’s. Nearly $700 million in payroll, hundreds more in luxury taxes, star power like Juan Soto, Bryce Harper, Francisco Lindor and Kyle Schwarber, and both teams are now overwhelmingly likely to be staying home while the small-market Pirates, Reds or Diamondbacks play into October.  Some of both teams’ underperformance is down to poor luck; the Phillies’ batting average on balls in play is just .256, for example, and their expected pitching stats are better than their ERA. But falling 10.5 games back of the Braves has all but ended the division race already. Atlanta now has an 84% chance of winning the East, while both the Mets and Phillies have dropped to around 7%. This is why it’s not as easy to "buy" a championship as many fans think it is. A few weeks of underperformance, injuries or bad luck can change the outlook of an entire season. And that’s exactly what’s happened here.

Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., appeared to blame President Donald Trump for the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner on Monday, suggesting that the shooting was the result of his unpopularity. Krishnamoorthi spoke about the shooting during his appearance on CNN’s "The Situation Room," telling co-host Pamela Brown, "There’s tremendous, as you can understand, concern given the threat levels that are going up, in part because of the — the president and now three assassination attempts on him, his very low approval ratings, which unfortunately fuel a lot of disaffection." An assailant rushed a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton Saturday night, shooting a Secret Service officer, who was hit in his bulletproof vest and survived. The suspect, Cole Allen, was apprehended and has been charged with multiple felonies. The gunfire led to Trump and the Cabinet officials at the dinner being evacuated, and the dinner being rescheduled.  Federal law enforcement officials confirmed to Fox News Digital that after Allen’s arrest, he said he intended to target Trump administration officials and had prepared a manifesto detailing his intent, while also sharing anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric on social media. RO KHANNA SAYS DHS MUST BE FUNDED AFTER PRESSED ON WHCD SHOOTING FALLOUT In the interview, CNN's Pamela Brown said, "The bottom line is we see political violence on both sides of the aisle, unfortunately, and all of this raises whether the Secret Service has the resources it needs in these heightened threat environments that you just mentioned." She then asked, "Is it time to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security, which, as you know, oversees the secret service?" "I think it's time to bring back the deal that the Senate unanimously, unanimously passed to fully fund the Secret Service," Krishnamoorthi said. "TSA, other elements of DHS, as long as ICE and CBP are not fully reformed and overhauled, then those should not be funded right now." ILHAN OMAR BLAMES TRUMP’S RHETORIC FOR SURGE IN DEATH THREATS, INCLUDING SPRAY ATTACK: 'SO OBSESSED WITH ME' Brown went on to play footage of Trump’s Sunday interview on "60 Minutes," where he noted how political assassinations are a common historical hazard, but warned, "I do think that the hate speech of the Democrats, much more so is, is very dangerous. I really think it‘s very dangerous for the country." "Well, I think that definitely rhetoric needs to cool," Krishnamoorthi said. "But remember, his own rhetoric has inflamed the discourse in a way that we haven‘t seen before. I mean, just his Truth Social post the other day talking about ending Iranian civilization or even his repost a couple days ago about how India is a hellhole and people like me, Indian Americans, are a problem in this country, only inflame the political discourse." "It‘s got to come down, the discourse has to cool down that it starts with the president," the congressman continued. "Of course, it extends to all of us. But to say that it‘s only one party doesn‘t really make sense and goes against all the facts." Krishnamoorthi suggested that ending political violence begins with Trump toning down his rhetoric. "But at the same time, you know, we have to come together and say that political violence has to end, that it‘s one thing to debate and discuss, you know, even vigorously policy matters of the day," he said. "But to engage in ad hominem attacks or to say that, you know, Indian Americans shouldn‘t belong here, or that a civilization should end, that‘s completely unacceptable. It‘s got to come to an end right now."

John Cornyn, R-Texas, called on Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico to "condemn" his pastor's Sunday sermon, claiming that Talarico's pastor "made light" of the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner this past Saturday. Talarico, a Presbyterian seminarian, has centered his campaign and progressive policies — which include anti-ICE and open borders messaging — on his faith background. At the same time, he has railed against Christian nationalism and called for the separation of church and state. "James Talarico claims to be campaigning on love and kindness, but his Pastor made light of an assassination attempt on the President of the United States in Washington, DC this weekend where a Secret Service officer was seriously injured," Cornyn posted on X. "All Texans should be outraged and Talarico must condemn it." On Sunday, Talarico's minister, Dr. Jim Rigby, mentioned the assassination attempt during his sermon, saying that he knows "a lot of people have mixed feelings" about the third attempt on Trump's life. His comment garnered light laughter from the audience. WATCH: DEMS AND REPUBLICANS CLASH ON HOUSE FLOOR FOLLOWING MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR CHARLIE KIRK "But it's really important that if we're going to be the healing agents of the world to realize that violence is not going to get rid of the problem we have," Rigby said. He went on to say that the Confederacy is the "heart of the MAGA movement" and that it's a "fascistic movement." The White House Correspondents' Association Dinner on Saturday was cut short after an armed gunman rushed the doors leading to the ballroom at the Washington Hilton Hotel. He fired several shots before being apprehended by law enforcement. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said that the alleged attempted assassin Cole Thomas Allen, 31, was "set out to target folks that work in the administration, likely including the president," according to a preliminary review of evidence. CROCKETT DISMISSES CRITICS WHO THINK 'HITLER' AND 'FASCIST' COMPARISONS CONTRIBUTE TO POLITICAL VIOLENCE Fox News Digital reached out to Rigby and Talarico for comment. National Republican Senate Committee Regional Press Secretary Samantha Cantrell slammed Talarico's silence. "It's hard to believe James Talarico is serious about condemning political violence while he stands by and helps his pastor radicalize an entire congregation," Cantrell said. Republican National Committee spokesman Zach Kraft called Talarico's "self-proclaimed mentor's" remark "disgusting." DEMOCRAT RISING STAR CALLED OUT FOR ‘CREEPY’ COMMENT ABOUT TRANSGENDER CHILDREN "But it is nothing new," Kraft said. "Democrats have fanned the flames of radical left-wing violence for years and gleefully put targets on the back of President Trump, Charlie Kirk and conservatives, and conservatives across America. To Talarico and Democrats, murder is simply the cost of doing business in their conquest for power."  Rigby is a vocal supporter of leftist causes. The Washington Examiner reported in March that Rigby spoke at a pro-Palestinian protest in 2009. "If there is to be hope for humankind, then we must all realize that the true jihad is the struggle for peace and justice," Rigby said during his speech. In the Islamic faith, jihad is understood by some to be an inner struggle meant to bring an individual closer to God, but the term has been invoked by terrorists and Islamic extremists to commit acts of violence in broader political contexts.

"Instead of student aid and education grants going to students who deserve it, corrupt Democrats and the inept bureaucrat class of the Biden Administration allowed it to flow straight into the pockets of fraudsters for years," a spokesperson for Vice President JD Vance, who President Donald Trump recently tapped as the administration's fraud czar, told Fox News Digital. The Department of Education launched a screening tool Monday morning directly into the FAFSA process that flags potentially high-risk applicants, requiring them to provide government-issued identification before accessing federal student aid, including Pell Grants and loans.  The Education Department estimates its efforts to identify and deny aid to fraudulent students will save taxpayers over $1 billion during this year’s FAFSA cycle, with the tool already screening 50,000 applications as of Monday afternoon.  READ: DR. OZ PUTS ALL 50 GOVERNORS ON NOTICE OVER BILLIONS LOST TO MEDICAID FRAUD The new fraud detection efforts follow a surge in "ghost student" scams tied to loosened verification requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the Department of Education. Ghost students are a growing trend involving fabricated or stolen identities, often powered by AI bots or criminal networks using real Americans’ personal information, used to enroll in programs, trigger financial aid disbursements, and then disappear. SBA FREEZES OVER 100,000 CALIFORNIA BORROWERS IN SWEEPING $9B PANDEMIC FRAUD CRACKDOWN "Americans deserve education. Fraudsters deserve nothing," a senior White House official told Fox News Digital. Key verification safeguards were removed during the COVID-19 pandemic under the Biden administration, the Education Department reported, when less than 1% of students were required to verify their identity following their FAFSA submission. "This new fraud detection tool will stop fraud at the start of the process, before money goes out the door, strengthening the integrity of our programs and expanding opportunity for students who depend on these resources to finance their postsecondary education," Secretary of Education Linda McMahon told Fox News Digital. The announcement comes as Trump established the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, led by Vance, to combat fraud across federal programs. UNDERPERFORMING DC SCHOOLS' STAFF HAS GROWN 7 TIMES FASTER THAN ENROLLMENT: AUDIT "Under the Vice President's task force, student aid will go to students and students only," the vice president's spokesperson added. The increased verification process follows the Trump administration uncovering more than $1 billion in student aid fraud last year, including stopping suspected bots and ghost students from obtaining taxpayer-funded loans. The administration also previously uncovered $90 million that was disbursed to suspected scammers in 2024, including $30 million in loans to dead people and more than $40 million disbursed to companies using bots disguised as fake students.

It's a good bubble," Cross fired back at Maher over the label.  "It's—a bubble is protection from the s–t that's going on outside of the bubble that I don't—the—the awfulness... and there's no s--t inside the bubble.

CHRIS MATTHEWS TELLS DEMS TO ABANDON 'ALL THIS OTHER CRAP' ON OPEN BORDERS AND TRANS ISSUES, FOCUS ON ECONOMY Ah, yes, the Brooklyn bubble is utopia where 3-year-olds turn trans. That mindset, as Maher argues firmly, is why the Democrats are in big trouble in the next election – the looniest of the lefties refuses to understand how insane it sounds for kids to be trans at 3.  Equally insane, Maher notes, is that Cross and his fellow nutjobs continue to act like trans in sports isn’t a problem. When Maher described Algerian Olympic boxer Imane Khelif as "a man beating the dog s–t out of a woman," to win an Olympic gold medal, Cross acted like wasn’t aware of this topic.  However, Cross was quick to point out he’s seen pre-pubescent girls "kick the s–t out of boys." MAHER CALLS OUT KIMMEL FOR NOT THANKING HIM FOR SUPPORT AMID SUSPENSION, ACCUSES KIMMEL OF LIBERAL BIAS This is where the American Left is at in 2026. The unhinged left is still in its bubble and as crazy as ever while there are Maher types who now see how this ultimately will turn out at the polls.  "Democrats lost voters on transgender rights. Winning them back won’t be easy," The New York Times warned last summer. Polling group Blueprint found that a whopping 67% of swing voters thought Democrats became "too focused on identity politics" during the last voting cycle. Despite the many chances Maher provided to Cross to come down off his trans hill, the ultra-lib wasn’t willing to bend.  The two agreed they didn’t want "beef" between each other and hugged it out as the podcast ended.

Nai Ping Hou, 74, vanished in March 2025 from his Rancho Cucamonga home and was reported missing weeks later on May 4. Federal officials say possible foul play is suspected, noting Hou’s bank accounts were depleted before law enforcement was even notified of his disappearance. Investigators with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department initially described the case as a suspicious disappearance but now say evidence points to a possible abduction. NANCY GUTHRIE'S DISAPPEARANCE DEFIES FBI KIDNAPPING TRENDS INVOLVING ELDERLY VICTIMS Hou’s son Wen Hou said the last time he saw his father was during a fishing trip in March, just days before he disappeared.

More than $1 million was drained through unauthorized transactions, including purchases of gold and cryptocurrency. "His money was also gone," Wen Hou said. "Funds were being transferred out to purchase gold online. He’s not tech-savvy at all, so I don’t know how he could’ve done any of that himself." GOT A TIP?

"If there was no blood spatter pattern inside the house, then outside by the front door or while she was going through the door this is where she put up a fight or refused to go any further," retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent Jim Clemente told Fox News Digital Monday. "This is where she was assaulted. Most likely struck in the nose or mouth. She fell to her knees or on the ground, aspirated, then coughed up blood, which also dripped around the same spot." EMAILS REVEAL REALITY TV CREW'S BEHIND-THE-SCENES ACCESS TOS HERIFF NOW LEADING NANCY GUTHRIE PROBE Guthrie is the 84-year-old mother of "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie. She had lived in her home in Tucson's Catalina Foothills neighborhood for decades before vanishing under suspicious circumstances on Feb. 1. SIGN UP TO GET TRUE CRIME NEWSLETTER Sources with knowledge of the case previously told Fox News Digital there were no signs of a struggle inside. A masked intruder appeared on doorbell camera video taken at Guthrie's front porch, and her back door was found propped open. Authorities have said they have not ruled out the possibility that multiple people could have been involved in her suspected kidnapping. DNA TESTING IN NANCY GUTHRIE CASE COULD TAKE MONTHS BUT MAY BE FAST-TRACKED, EXPERT SAYS Clemente said he believes her abductor then carried her away with her face up, which limited additional blood spatter. Video taken after local authorities released the crime scene shows a concentration of blood drops near the mat at her front door. The trail grows thin and ends where her front walkway meets the edge of the driveway. SEND US A TIP HERE "It rules out more than one person because if two people had control of her as they were leaving the house she would never have fallen to the ground," he said. "They would have been in control of her body and prevented her from resisting and fighting and falling after she was struck in the face." She likely had her face down near the front door where images show the most blood, he said. LISTEN TO THE NEW 'CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO' PODCAST "The larger droplets are low-velocity blood spatter that fell directly out of her mouth," he said. "Her face was facing downward when she coughed up the medium velocity small droplets, and it was within inches of the ground facing straight down." There's no indication of "cast off" blood spatter, he said, which appears when blood is flung off of a moving object. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? FIND MORE ON THE TRUE CRIME HUB "The lack of directionality of the blood splatter says that those drops fell straight down, and she wasn’t moving fast," he said. "So there is a contradiction in the evidence. I believe this was caused by the fact that she was carried from that first location to the car with her face up so only a minimum amount of blood was deposited on the walkway." FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X He said it doesn't look like she was dragged and believes she had been struck in the face with a fist or possibly the butt of the suspect's handgun. "This was not done very quickly because if it had been, the blood should’ve had a tail moving the direction that she was traveling," he said. Dr. Michael Baden, a famed forensic pathologist, previously told Fox News Digital he suspected the blood drops came from Guthrie's hands or face. "The nature of the blood spots with little pale centers or donut shapes are typical for drops that come from the nose or mouth, because they're mixed with air," he said in February. "These are not innocent droplets," he added. "From the shape, number of droplets and the place of the droplets outside the house on the porch, they are entirely consistent and indicative of occurring during an abduction."  Anyone with information is asked to dial 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Kerr and Green have gotten into their spats over the years, but four NBA titles together has also been the result. During a recent, in-depth interview with The New Yorker, Kerr admitted that Green has pushed him to his limits. And while he would "do anything for him," Kerr also admitted that Green has crossed the line to the point of no return. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM "There’s things he’s done that I can never forgive him for, and yet I will do anything for him," Kerr said to the outlet. It’s no secret that Kerr and Green have needed to be separated, whether it’s during a game or in a more private setting. In December 2025, Green was seen telling Kerr, "F--- you," ultimately leading to the star forward getting sent to the locker room in a game against the Orlando Magic. STEPHEN A. SMITH MAKES BRUTAL GAFFE WHILE TALKING ABOUT THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS "Yeah. I mean, people pulling us apart. And in my first five years, we would get into three knockdown, dragouts a year," Kerr said about him and Green. "Part of it was, I just had to show the rest of the team that I’m in charge. You have to do things by a set of standards. It’s a community that you’re building, not just a team -- a little society with values and standards and expectations. And then you’re a community that has to police itself. The coach has to demand certain behaviors, certain habits. So then for a long time we had a truce. I understood him so well. He understood me. But this year, we had a major blowout in December." Kerr called Green "such a unique person" who has quite the mind for basketball. He’s needed it to play his position at only 6-foot-6, when forwards are usually much taller elsewhere in the league. As Green, 36, is closer to retirement than he isn’t, coaching has been a speculation. He was usually not in that state of mind, but in recent discussion, Green seems open to the prospect of coaching after his playing days. Kerr isn’t sure, though, if he’s temperament is fit for it. "I don’t know that he’ll coach. He definitely has the brain for it. I don’t know if he has the patience," Kerr explained. "He’s an incredibly passionate, emotional guy, and that passion and energy has frequently gotten him in trouble. And I love him. I think he’s a really good-hearted person with an incredible brain, but if he wants to coach, he’s going to have to learn how to control some of that emotion, that desire, and that fire that burns within him, and it’s not an easy thing to do." Green isn’t the most gifted NBA players in terms of physical stature, speed or strength. But Green knows how tenacious he can be as a defender, making the All-Defensive NBA team nine times in his career, while winning the 2016-17 Defensive Player of the Year Award. In fact, Kerr, who played with the iconic Chicago Bulls dynasty during his time on the hardwood, said Green is the best defender he’s ever witnessed in the league. DRAYMOND GREEN INSINUATES KNICKS STAR MISSED GAME DUE TO RIVALRY WITH TEAMMATE, NOT FAMILY FRIEND'S DEATH "That’s saying a lot, given that I played with Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman," Kerr added. "The modern game demands so much more than it did in the 1990s. You have to be able to guard all five positions, because there’s so much pace and energy and crossmatches. You race back on defense, you’ve got to guard the guy in front of you. And then there’s the "pick-on" game: the opposing team is going to bring the weakest defender into every pick-and-roll to gain an advantage. "Draymond, he can guard any action, any position, any player. And he can also blow up the play behind the play if he’s not involved in the action because of his brain, his speed, his reach." It’s one of those rollercoaster relationships, but one that Kerr will never regret with Green – even if he’s crossed the line a time or two. While Green has a player option for next season with the Warriors, all eyes are on Kerr as he mulls a big decision of whether he wishes to return as head coach or not. He told the outlet it would be an easy decision if Green and Steph Curry were to retire this year, but that’s not the case. Kerr said the Warriors will discuss their vision for the future in the coming weeks, but he’s unsure right now if he will be a part of it.   Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

"Who in their right mind says a wife would be glowing over the potential murder of her beloved husband?" she said. "And having experienced what I did with the first lady on Saturday night, I can tell you that she was anything but that.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69efab58059ccda1fcc30993 Why did a Democratic-majority board appoint a Freedom Caucus lawmaker as county recorder? te 2026-04-27T18:30:48.176Z Why did a Democratic-majority board appoint a Freedom Caucus lawmaker as county recorder? David Marshall in January 2025. (Photo by Gage Skidmore/Flickr/CC BY-SA 2.0) Supervisors in Navajo County had narrowed their pool to three finalists by the time they met to appoint a new recorder. One, Jose Lerma, was a voter registration coordinator in the recorder’s office and familiar with the elections side of the job. Another, Suzanne Hudspeth, was a local realtor — experience that could help with the recorder’s responsibility to manage public records, including property documents and government information. The final candidate, state Rep. David Marshall, seemed perhaps the least likely choice for the board of supervisors, on which Democrats hold three of five seats. State law required them to pick a member of the same political party as former Recorder Tim Jordan, a Republican who resigned in January. But Marshall was the most ideological of the three finalists. In the Legislature, he was an out-and-proud member of the ultra-conservative Freedom Caucus. He had supported legislation to ban vote centers, severely restrict mail voting, require ballots cast in local elections to be counted by hand, and more. And he was in the midst of a contentious primary campaign for a seat on the Arizona Corporation Commission. Supervisors conducted their final interviews with the candidates on April 14 in executive session, a type of closed-door meeting that allows policymakers to privately discuss certain sensitive topics. Upon returning to the dais, they scribbled down their votes on small sheets of paper. Then, they announced their choice: Marshall. Their decision left many political observers scratching their heads — and raised questions about what it means for the rural northern county’s elections. Marshall, who did not respond to requests for comment on this story, said in an April 23 statement that he was committed to “ensuring our elections are secure, transparent, and worthy of the confidence of every citizen.” “The role of county recorder may not carry the same visibility as a legislative seat or a statewide campaign, but its importance cannot be overstated,” he said. “The integrity of our elections and the protection of property rights form the bedrock of a free and self-governing society. These are not abstract principles — they are the foundation of public trust.” It also appears that the appointment may have caused a rift between Marshall and some of his closest allies at the state Capitol. An attorney closely affiliated with the Freedom Caucus is now raising legal questions about the appointment. Supervisors acknowledged the surprise in interviews with Votebeat. One, Democrat Dawnafe Whitesinger, called the situation “fairly complicated.” Another, Republican Daryl Seymore, when asked why the majority-Democratic board had chosen Marshall, said it was “a loaded question.” Other supervisors did not respond to a request for comment. But Whitesinger and Seymore indicated the choice came down to a combination of qualifications, intraparty politics, and questions asked of the candidates during final interviews in executive session — details they can’t disclose under state law. Why did Navajo County supervisors pick Marshall? The board’s vote for the new recorder did not fall along neat partisan lines. Whitesinger, along with Republican Jason Whiting and Democrat Fern Benally, voted for Marshall. Democrat Alberto Peshlakai voted for Lerma, and Seymore voted to continue interviewing the candidates. Seymore told Votebeat that he wanted to continue the process because he still had unanswered questions, but he declined to share more, saying he couldn’t reveal anything about conversations had in executive session. Still, he said he was confident that Marshall had a “solid understanding” of existing state law and the voting process. Although Marshall pushed for controversial election changes as a legislator, Seymore said he felt that Marshall would follow the law while overseeing voter registration, list maintenance, and other election-related duties that fall under the recorder’s office. Meanwhile, the local GOP was pushing the board to put a long-tenured Republican in the seat. One of the candidates, Lerma, had previously been registered as an unaffiliated voter but re-registered as a Republican earlier this year to seek the appointment. Navajo County Republican Committee Chair Lisa Green took the speaker’s podium before supervisors conducted final interviews to urge that they appoint someone registered with the party as of the 2024 general election. “To be clear, this request is not a comment on the character of any potential appointee on the vetted list presented here today,” Green said. “We are simply pointing out that the Republican Party platform of personal responsibility, limited government, and individual liberty is not something to change at will, but a set of core beliefs.” Whitesinger said supervisors were “looking for a candidate that best aligned with Navajo County,” adding that they also wanted someone who would “protect the rights of citizens to register to vote and also cast their vote.” “That means for every citizen, from the very tip of Navajo County and the southern area of Cibecue, all the way up to the northern region of Monument Valley and Kayenta,” she said. Marshall drew strong support from White Mountain Apache Tribal Council Chairman Jerome Kasey III and Councilwoman Annette Tenijieth. Whitesinger said she was hesitant to say much more, noting that she had to protect the confidentiality of conversations that took place in executive session. But she said she has always “tried to make decisions in the best interest of the county.” “I know that all our citizens are concerned about the decisions — not only this decision, but every decision — that we make as a board of supervisors,” she said. “I, too, live in this county and want it to continue to function as professionally as it has in years past.” Conservative attorney questions legality of Marshall’s appointment Before being sworn into his new role on April 21, Marshall resigned his legislative seat and formally pulled out of the Corporation Commission race. But there’s still one potential legal complication with his appointment. The Arizona Constitution states lawmakers cannot hold other state or county offices “during the term for which he shall have been elected.” Historically, there have been mixed interpretations of what exactly that means. It could mean that a lawmaker simply has to resign their seat before being sworn into another office, as Marshall did. But some say it means that a state legislator cannot hold another office until the end of their elected term. In Marshall’s case, that would bar him from becoming recorder until January 2027. Tim La Sota, an attorney who has long represented archconservatives in Arizona, is loudly making that argument. In an April 16 letter to county supervisors, he wrote that their appointment of Marshall was illegal. “It seems that the wise move would be to rescind this appointment before Mr. Marshall can purport to accept it by taking the oath of office,” he wrote. When Marshall was sworn in, La Sota followed up with a similar letter to Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat. He accused Marshall of “illegally usurping office.” Richie Taylor, a spokesperson for Mayes, said prosecutors were “looking into the matter.” La Sota did not respond to questions on whether he was writing in his personal capacity or serving a paid client. He also did not say whether his involvement implied some sort of rift between Marshall and his longtime allies at the state Capitol — several of whom have used La Sota’s legal services in the past. But Marshall’s appointment seemed to catch at least one of his colleagues by surprise. State Rep. Ralph Heap, another Freedom Caucus member who is gunning for a seat on the Corporation Commission, told KJZZ hours before the board picked Marshall that he was hoping his fellow candidate wouldn’t take the job. Marshall said on April 23 that he hadn’t made the decision lightly and that he still supported Heap. “While I have stepped away from that race, I have full confidence it will continue in capable hands,” he said in a statement, adding that Heap would “serve Arizona well.” This article was originally published by Votebeat, a nonprofit news organization covering local election administration and voting access.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69efa8d8059ccda1fcc30914 If Republicans believe in MAHA, why are they backing this farm bill? te 2026-04-27T18:20:08.063Z If Republicans believe in MAHA, why are they backing this farm bill? The U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote on the most consequential piece of food-and-farming legislation in nearly a decade. Congress hasn’t passed a farm bill since 2018, and the new legislation touches nearly every corner of the food system, from farm subsidies and crop insurance to food assistance, conservation, research, and rural development. The vote is coming at a moment when food prices are still painfully high, farms are going bankrupt at an alarming rate, and Americans across political divides are waking up to the toll that toxic agrochemicals are taking on the nation’s health. The problem is: the Republican farm bill would make all of those challenges worse. LAWMAKERS PROBE NATIONAL FFA OVER CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY TIES AND DEI PROGRAMS At its best, a farm bill is supposed to do something straightforward and practical. It is supposed to help keep farms financially solvent, lower costs for consumers, strengthen rural communities, and improve access to healthy and sustainable food. It is one of the main ways the federal government decides what kinds of farming it rewards, what kinds of food it makes easier to buy, and what kinds of risks it is willing to tolerate in the name of production. This year’s Republican bill is, alas, all about giveaways to the biggest industrial producers and chemical companies, as well as cuts to key anti-hunger programs and healthy food-and-farming investments in order to pay for unpopular priorities like the war in Iran. The bill enshrines the GOP’s major cuts to SNAP and other food assistance programs for hungry kids. It would reduce funding for federal conservation and healthy-soil programs. And it includes language that would reinforce legal immunity for chemical companies and undermine local standards, including around schools and parks.  The legislation is especially reckless in the context of what’s happening right now. USDA says food prices in February were 3.1 percent higher than a year earlier. Farm bankruptcies rose 46 percent in 2025. USDA also forecasts that net farm income will fall again in 2026. This is the moment when Congress should be helping farmers get off the costly chemical treadmill and helping to make healthy food affordable. This week’s vote coincides with oral arguments at the Supreme Court in Monsanto v. Durnell, where a major chemical company is seeking a ruling that could make it far harder for farmers and families to sue after documented evidence of cancer from chemical exposure. The Trump Justice Department filed an amicus brief siding with Monsanto against American farmers.  This isn’t a technical legal dispute. It’s the question of whether people who were harmed by toxic pesticides can still seek accountability. Trump is on the wrong side of that argument.  This isn’t an isolated case. In February, the President signed an executive order expanding domestic supply of carcinogenic glyphosate-based herbicides. Around the same time, the EPA reapproved dicamba for over-the-top use on cotton and soybeans, despite years of controversy over its drift onto neighboring crops and wild plants. Meanwhile, the arm of USDA that farmers rely on for help adopting organic, lower-input, and soil-building practices, has lost nearly one in four staff.  That is why this farm bill debate is such an important test of whether Republicans are serious about making America healthy again.  If they are, they should work across the aisle on a farm bill that makes healthy food more affordable for Americans. What would that look like? First, a responsible farm bill would take on corporate power rather than entrench it. No pesticide immunity shield. No special protections for companies that keep dangers off labels while families, farmers, and farmworkers bear the costs. A serious MAHA farm bill would keep the courts open to allow farmers compensation for proven harms caused by toxic chemicals.  CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION Second, it would help farmers get off the costly chemical treadmill. That means fully funding conservation, technical assistance, and organic transition programs to adopt lower-cost, lower-input methods. It means supporting cover crops, crop rotations, buffer strips, and other practices that improve soil health while reducing long-term expenses. It means strengthening local and regional markets so farmers can keep more of the food dollar instead of sending it up the chain to a handful of big companies. Third, it would make healthy food more affordable for American families. That means restoring support for healthier school meals, expanding access to fresh, local, and lower-toxin foods in public institutions, and aligning federal purchasing with the goal of making healthier food easier to buy. It also means looking seriously at concrete measures like restricting pre-harvest glyphosate desiccation and expanding pesticide-free food procurement. If Republicans truly want to claim the mantle of MAHA, this is the moment to prove it.  Justin Talbot Zorn is a senior adviser at the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington.

This could also open up the possibility that the organization could punish Sorsby for his gambling actions, given the NCAA has a very strict policy on betting.  Pete Thamel was first to report the NCAA's investigation into Sorsby for gambling.  The school released a statement, which came about 30 minutes after the team was informed of what was transpiring with their starting quarterback, and him seeking professional help for his gambling addiction.  "Texas Tech’s primary focus remains on fostering an environment where student-athletes feel empowered to prioritize their mental health and seek professional assistance," the statement read. "To protect the integrity of the recovery process, Texas Tech will have no further comment on Brendan’s status or treatment progress at this time. We kindly ask the media and the public to respect the privacy of Brendan and his family." Cincinnati sues former quarterback Brendan Sorsby over $1M NIL buyout after Texas Tech transfer After playing for Cincinnati last season, Sorsby entered the transfer portal. He would sign with Texas Tech, with a deal that reached nearly $6 million for the upcoming season, according to sources.  On Monday, Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire also released a statement regarding his starting quarterback. "We love Brendan and support his decision to seek professional help," McGuire said. "Taking this step requires courage, and our primary focus is on him as a person. Our program is behind Brendan as he prioritizes his health." FERNANDO MENDOZA'S BROTHER ENTERS TRANSFER PORTAL AFTER INDIANA WINS NATIONAL TITLE While it is unknown how long Sorsby will be housed at the residential treatment facility, his status as the quarterback at Texas Tech will not change, though the NCAA is looking into his past online gambling.  Where things go from here with Texas Tech is uncertain. Would the school be on the hook for his revenue-share contract if he were to be punished for his gambling? What if he were to be suspended for a period of time, or if Texas Tech was caught off guard by this all? These are questions that Texas Tech lawyers are currently looking into, as this story continues to play out over the next few months.

Fifteen Ceres Air C31 drones were stolen from CAC International in Harrison, N.J., on March 24, according to The High Side substack. The drones were allegedly stolen by a delivery driver who duped the company, the report said. SIGN UP TO GET TRUE CRIME NEWSLETTER In total, a Ceres Air C31 costs around $58,000, meaning that nearly $870,000 of equipment was allegedly stolen. The report said that a fraudulent bill of lading was shown when picking up the drones, and CAC International allegedly considered them legitimate. SEND US A TIP HERE The drones are equipped to hold and spray up to 40 gallons of liquid chemicals, reportedly causing concern inside the U.S. government. "This was one of the most highly sophisticated thefts [the FBI] have seen in a long time, which is the main thing that has them so spooked," said an individual who was briefed on the situation, according to the report. LISTEN TO THE NEW 'CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO' PODCAST Former FBI agent Steve Lazarus said the drones could be a danger to the public. "Even common chemicals, used improperly, can be a public safety danger. Throw in the Internet recipes for biological and chemical weapons that anyone with a Tor browser has access to, and this is a potential nightmare scenario," Lazarus said in an interview with The High Side. "These aren’t hobby drones with cameras. They’re industrial sprayers designed to carry and disperse significant amounts of liquid quickly and with precision." LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? FIND MORE ON THE TRUE CRIME HUB "The bureau is freaked out for a good reason," Lazarus said. The U.S. Army raised concerns in a 2020 report, stating that such chemical-spraying drones could be used in attacks. "Such drones are readily available and could be used as a delivery system for chemical or biological attacks," said the report. "A UAS [chemical or biological warfare] delivery platform is a definite possibility, especially for developing nations," the report said.

An episode of "Eva Longoria: Searching for France" was also preempted, but that didn’t stop critics from lampooning Zakaria. "The Imperial Presidency," which was set to premiere on Sunday night, aimed to explore "how, over decades, presidential authority has steadily stretched beyond the limits envisioned by the Founders—evolving into a system increasingly vulnerable to abuse and capable of enabling an unscrupulous leader to edge toward autocracy," according to a CNN press release.  MELANIA TRUMP CALLS FOR ABC TO FIRE JIMMY KIMMEL OVER ‘HATEFUL AND VIOLENT RHETORIC' The CNN press release also claimed, "Trump has pushed the boundaries of presidential authority—defying Congress, ignoring the courts, denying due process, attacking free speech, prosecuting political opponents, launching a war unilaterally, and deploying troops domestically." Zakaria took to X on Sunday to inform that his documentary would air at a later date, prompting one critic to respond, "They keep having to delay programming on right-wing fascism because of left-wing violence." "Our latest screed against our evil emperor will be delayed until we return to our screechy normal," NewsBusters executive editor Tim Graham joked.  New York Post columnist Karol Markowicz asked, "Is it because your rhetoric is making people violent and crazy?" WHO IS COLE ALLEN? CALIFORNIA MAN NAMED AS SUSPECT IN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER SHOOTING Podcaster Jim Treacher mocked the notion of an "imperial presidency" when multiple CNN journalists were expected to dine with Trump on Saturday before gunfire brought the dinner to a sudden halt.  "It's an ‘imperial presidency,’ yet a whole roomful of your highly principled colleagues voluntarily sat in the same room with him," Treacher wrote. "Oh, wait, I forgot: They wore First Amendment pocket squares! That's brave."  WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER SHOOTING SHARPENS FOCUS ON TRUMP’S BALLROOM CONSTRUCTION PROPOSAL Many others took to social media with thoughts:  CNN did not immediately respond to a request for comment. It is common for major breaking news coverage on cable news to preempt pre-planned weekend and late-night programs. Authorities have identified Cole Allen, 31, as the suspect arrested in the shooting that happened at the Washington Hilton hotel as President Donald Trump, first lady Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance and other senior Cabinet officials were attending the media dinner.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69efa4c1059ccda1fcc307f4 Major blow to Putin in Africa as Russian forces driven from Mali stronghold by separatists, jihadists te 2026-04-27T18:02:41.617Z Major blow to Putin in Africa as Russian forces driven from Mali stronghold by separatists, jihadists JOHANNESBURG: A major defeat for Russia’s mercenary Africa Corps, in a battle with jihadist and tribal militia, is being reported in Mali. Deadly attacks by al Qaeda-linked rebels and mostly-Muslim Tuareg tribesmen across cities in the West African country are continuing Monday, also with reports of senior figures in Mali’s military junta being killed or injured. Analysts say this could be a turning point in Moscow’s influence in West Africa. Russia has been grabbing Mali’s precious minerals, including gold, in return for promising to protect the country against the rebels. Sunday though rebels reported that Russian mercenaries have been forced to retreat from their base in the northern city of Kidal. "The attacks are a major blow to Russia", Ulf Laessing, head of the Sahel program at the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, told the Associated Press. He added  "the (Russian) mercenaries had no intelligence about the attacks and were unable to protect major cities. They have unnecessarily worsened the conflict by not distinguishing between civilians and combatants." Video of dead soldiers who appear with their features to be Russian, and of Russian military vehicles reportedly leaving Kidal, has been seen by Fox News Digital. US ALLOWING SOME NIGERIA EMBASSY STAFF TO EVACUATE OVER 'DETERIORATING SECURITY SITUATION' The Defense News Nigeria media site reported that Russia’s Africa Corps stated in Kidal "they were heavily outnumbered by a ratio of 6 to 1" adding "the Corps claimed that between 10,000 and 12,000 fighters were involved in yesterday’s attacks. There are 2,000 Russian mercenaries operating in Mali. The Malian government pays Wagner $10 million per month for security," according to the Nigerian publication. A Russian blog on Telegram Monday, claiming to come from Kidal, stated "the units of the African Corps that were stationed and fought in Kidal left this settlement together with the military personnel of the Malian army. First of all, wounded servicemen and heavy equipment were evacuated. The personnel continues to carry out the assigned combat mission. The situation in the Republic of Mali remains difficult." A spokesperson for the Tuareg-led Azawad Liberation Front, or FLA, told the Associated Press that the Russian troops, have withdrawn from the city after a "white" agreement was reached. This has not been confirmed by either Mali’s government or Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. TRUMP'S APPROACH TO AFRICA LAUDED BY TOP REPUBLICAN AS RECENT AIRSTRIKES SHOW 'OUTSIDE THE BOX' THINKING Russia's ministry of foreign affairs said on its Telegram account that "two hundred and fifty militants attacked Bamako Senou International Airport and the military base located nearby. The Malian Armed Forces repelled the attack and are currently taking further steps to eliminate the militia that may have been, reportedly, trained by Western security agencies. Russia is deeply concerned about these developments. This terrorist activity poses a direct threat to the stability of friendly Mali and could have the most serious consequences for the entire region."  Mali’s military junta, which first took power in a coup in 2020, Monday announced that both the chief of the armed forces’ general staff, Gen. Oumar Diarra, and the director of the national security agency, Gen. Modibo Koné, have been wounded in attacks. The government confirmed earlier that Sadio Camara, said to be the second most important figure in Mali’s military junta, had been killed in the fighting. Camara was Mali’s defense minister, and is widely credited with bringing in Moscow’s mercenary Africa Corps to assist in battling the militia. The rebels attempting to take over Mali are said to be jihadists from the Nusrat al-Islam (GSIM/JNIM) linked with the tribesmen of the FLA and other groups, including at least one linked with Islamic State. The GSIM’s declared aim is to turn Mali into an al Qaeda-linked Islamic caliphate with strict Sharia law. "The United States strongly condemns the terrorist attack in Mali," a State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital Monday, adding: "We extend our deepest condolences to the victims, their families, and all those affected. We stand with the Malian people and government in the face of this violence. The United States remains committed to supporting efforts to advance peace, stability, and security across Mali and the region." The U.S. Embassy in Mali warned Sunday on its website that "U.S. citizens should continue to shelter in place, remain alert, follow local news for updates, and avoid areas where security operations may be underway." On Monday, multiple reports said that Malian troops and Russian mercenaries have also been forced by rebels to withdraw from the northern Malian city of Tessit. At the time of publication, this had not been confirmed by the Malian government. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Oklahoma City has utterly dominated Phoenix in this series: The Thunder have a +20.0 scoring margin and are winning all "four factors." CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON OUTKICK.COM The foul-merchant and reigning NBA MVP, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, has been tearing the Suns apart. Shai is averaging 34.7 points on 54.1% shooting and 8.0 assists in this series and has gotten to the foul line 38 times. Yet, as we saw Sunday with the Kevin Durant-less Houston Rockets against the Los Angeles Lakers, it’s tough to sweep a team, regardless of how poorly they have played in the series or who is on their injury report. Like Houston this past weekend, Phoenix will show professional pride and play OKC tough in Game 4. I’m not saying the Suns will prevent the sweep. But they will cover the spread. Or at least that’s how I’m betting it.  It’s impossible to make a statistical argument for Phoenix here. Oklahoma City is outclassing the Suns in every way. However, nearly 90% of the action is on the Thunder at the time of writing, per Pregame.com. While betting splits and "fading the market" can be an overrated handicapping angle, I’d rather be on the same side as the sportsbooks than the public. AYO DOSUNMU'S 43-POINT EXPLOSION MAY NOT REPEAT AS TIMBERWOLVES TRY TO FINISH NUGGETS IN GAME 5 Also, OKC is missing its second-leading scorer, wing Jalen Williams, and Phoenix’s best scorers are healthy. Suns wing Dillon Brooks, SG Jalen Green and five-time NBA All-Star Devin Booker are all averaging 20+ points in this series. They just need a couple of the role players to step up, and they can steal a game. Furthermore, if the refs swallow their whistles and don’t send Gilgeous-Alexander to the charity stripe every time he flops, it’ll be a lot harder for OKC to blow Phoenix out. Again, most of this analysis is narrative-based because there just isn’t a basketball argument for betting the Suns Monday. But sometimes weird things happen in sports, especially in the playoffs, and I have a feeling Phoenix keeps Game 4 closer than the market does.  _____________________________ Follow me on X @Geoffery-Clark, and check out my OutKick Bets Podcast for more betting content and random rants.

Professional golfers constantly tinker with equipment and jump from one club manufacturer to another throughout their careers, but Rose mixing it up comes across as a very strange move for a number of different reasons. LIBERALS MELT DOWN AFTER LEARNING PGA TOUR IS RETURNING TO TRUMP-OWNED GOLF COURSE For starters, Rose is currently the No. 5 player in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) and has been playing great in 2026 with a win at the Farmers Insurance Open in February and a T-3 finish at the Masters earlier this month. Those are mighty strong accolades for a player who will turn 46 in July. Rose has also played, and lost handily, in the exclusive equipment game fairly recently. In 2019, Rose signed a multiyear equipment deal with Japanese manufacturer Honma. He won with Honma clubs in the bag very early that season, but when 2020 rolled around the missed cuts starting piling up and Honma clubs disappeared from the bag completely. The Honma experience quickly became a disastrous one for Rose, and while McLaren could end up being the next great golf brand, his taking another chance on a brand that has proven exactly nothing in the golf space is questionable, at best. FITZPATRICK BROS FULFILL THEIR DREAMS, FURYK CAPTAINCY SENDS A MESSAGE, AND THE SCHEFFLER-KORDA COMPS GROW Rose, who has earned over $77 million in his career, will be getting paid by McLaren to use its equipment and promote the brand. But, how big does the sponsorship check exactly have to be to force you to switch equipment in the middle of a season that you've been operating quite nicely in? We'll never know the answer to that question, but the money, combined with the input Rose has on the manufacturing side of McLaren Golf's operations, has to be quite impactful. "From the beginning, this has been a passion project. I’ve had the opportunity to be involved from the outset – working with the team, testing the clubs and helping shape what they’ve become," Rose said while speaking of the move to McLaren. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! "That level of involvement, combined with the standards McLaren brings to everything they do, made this an easy decision for me. I’m excited to put the clubs in play and watch the brand flourish." Rose has been using a mixed bag of equipment in 2026, but is throwing the McLaren sticks right into action at this week's Cadillac Championship, a signature event on the PGA Tour hosted at Trump Doral. With McLaren being a British brand and organization, and Rose being English himself, it's a natural fit on paper. Whether it's a natural fit inside the ropes, which is all that matters, only time will tell. Props are due for McLaren for acquiring Rose's signature, but getting into an already-crowded golf equipment world, the same one where Nike couldn't even survive, is quite a leap.

Dianna Russini’s career as a credible NFL reporter is over amid an ongoing scandal involving allegations of an inappropriate relationship with New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel. The question is whether she has any future in sports media, perhaps in a different role. Last Thursday, minutes before the start of the NFL Draft, Russini deactivated her X account after users resurfaced old posts in which she joked about the name of her son, Michael. If she does not reactivate the account within 30 days, X will permanently delete the page along with all of her followers. The absence of a social media following would make any return difficult. A television network is not going to hire a reporter who resigned from The New York Times after reportedly asking her to provide proof that her relationship with Vrabel was appropriate. If she eventually returns to media, it will almost certainly be exclusively online, where a social following is paramount. MIKE VRABEL ADMITTING TO "DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS" DIDN’T HELP HIM OR DIANNA RUSSI Fortunately for Russini, there are digital platforms where ethics are not necessary. Dan Le Batard’s Meadowlark Media is one. Russini has a pre-existing relationship with Le Batard, who has shown a willingness to work with controversial personalities if they align politically. He previously hired Howard Bryant after he was arrested for allegedly beating and choking his wife. However, Russini built her career as a reporter. Sources are likely to be less inclined to work with her going forward, given her reputation and lack of a mainstream platform. If she cannot offer insight, viewers will have little reason to consume her content. Likewise, Russini would have a hard time convincing readers to pay for her content on a platform like Substack. PATRIOTS COACH MIKE VRABEL RESPONDS AFTER PHOTOS WITH NEW YORK TIMES NFL REPORTER LEAK Consider that, in her initial denial, she issued a statement to the New York Post stating that it was merely professional. If she lied, she didn't just lie to her former employer. She also lied to her readers. The idea that those readers would then turn around and pay for her content seems unlikely. Even at just 43 years old, Russini will always be known as the reporter caught hugging and holding hands with Mike Vrabel at an "adults-only" Arizona resort. That is now her reputation, and one she will struggle to shed. We don't see much of an audience for a scandal-plagued Dianna Russini, beyond the initial buzz over whether she addresses the photos. The general public no longer trusts her. Nor should it. And, according to OutKick sources, her colleagues didn't trust her before the scandal. For all intents and purposes, Russini’s career is over.

The fast-casual chain's new Salad Stuffers, which launched April 8, are marketed as "a bread bowl for your salad."  But workers posting on Reddit claim the offering requires throwing away significant portions of Italian bread — and in some cases, leftover salad — according to an article in Today.com. VIRAL HACK COULD SAVE YOU FROM SPENDING ON 'INSANELY EXPENSIVE' AIRPORT FOOD In Panera's announcement earlier this month about the new category, chief marketing officer Mark Shambura said guests in testing "couldn't get enough" of the new roll, and called the concept a fresh spin on the chain's signature bread bowl. The reaction online, though, has been less enthusiastic. "The core of the bread is thrown out, and a good chunk of the salad gets tossed in the trash, too," someone claiming to be an employee at the chain wrote on Reddit's Panera forum.  "These are a huge waste of money and food. ... I wouldn't recommend spending your hard-earned cash on them." Another poster shared a photo on the same Reddit community, showing a tray piled with hollowed-out bread pieces.  RESTAURANT OWNER COULD 'GO BROKE' UNDER BLUE STATE'S PROPOSED TO-GO PACKAGING BAN, HE WARNS The person wrote, "My manager went to a meeting about menu changes and was told these scraps cannot be given to customers or fed to birds." Some commenters also questioned whether the item represents a true innovation — arguing it closely resembles a standard sandwich with minor changes. "What's a Salad Stuffer roll? They shove a salad into a hollowed-out roll? Isn't that just a sandwich then?" one Reddit user wrote. Another chimed in, "Why not just make a sandwich??" DAIRY QUEEN'S NEW DRIVE-THRUS WITHOUT HUMANS SPARK BACKLASH FROM FRUSTRATED CUSTOMERS Others suggested ways the leftover bread could be repurposed to reduce waste.

Someone else added, "They should bake the dough with a tinfoil thing inside so the bread is hollow and doesn't need to be wasted!!" Others suggested a bread pudding dessert or stuffing. One commenter simply exclaimed, "I want my bread guts!" Outside reviewers have also raised questions about whether the product is worth the price, adding to criticism from some customers.

The outlet praised a few heartier combinations, such as the Steakhouse Salad Stuffer, but argued against the value. The review ultimately recommended that customers just order a half salad, take the free baguette on the side and make their own version. Some critics have also pointed out that the item bears a resemblance to offerings from Bread Zeppelin, a Texas-based chain known for its salad-stuffed baguettes, Today.com reported.

"Hey @PaneraBread, Zeppelin's walked, so Stuffers could ... try," the company posted on social media.  It also promoted a limited-time deal encouraging customers to bring in a Panera receipt to receive a free salad-stuffed baguette to compare the two. The chain has also emphasized that it repurposes leftover bread into items like croutons and bread pudding. But not everyone was so quick to toss the Salad Stuffer.  One Reddit commenter said the item was "delicious" and described it as "like a Panera version of a wrap." TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ Fox News Digital reached out to Panera, which is headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, for comment. In its announcement about the new Salad Stuffer item, the brand said, "Panera chefs and bakers innovated the new Italian Stuffer Roll to deliver the ideal balance of fluffy, soft bread and a freshly prepared dressed salad in every bite. Guests can make any salad on the menu a Stuffer, from classics like the Green Goddess Cobb Salad with Chicken or Caesar Salad to two bold, chef-crafted options created specifically for this new innovation, available at participating cafés." Panera Bread first opened in 1987. As of March 31, 2026, there were 2,251 bakery-cafés in 48 states, in Washington, D.C., and in Ontario, Canada, the company said in its release.

Creating a safe environment for pediatric patients outside the hospital is a massive logistical undertaking. The event, funded by a $50,000 grant from the Dunkin' Joy in Childhood Foundation, required close coordination between medical professionals and stadium operations. "We've created different spaces throughout the environment," said Hadley Trull, Banner's associate director of child life. "Some have spaces for our kids that want to be active, and then other activities are more of a sit-down experience so that everyone feels like they have a space they belong to." The "Around the World" theme was chosen to represent a future without boundaries, and the decor and food reflected that, with dishes from China, Italy, Mexico and parts of Europe. Dunkin' added its signature flair with drinks including a Strawberry Dragonfruit Refresher, lemonade and caramel iced coffees, plus doughnuts. Students spent the evening dancing, dining and trying their luck at arcade games including air hockey, a claw machine and video games The annual Banner Children's prom was themed "Around the World" to represent a future without boundaries. Isabel Vidrio / Tucson Spotlight. For patients who might feel overwhelmed by the lights and noise of a stadium event, the Child Life team set up quiet zones and designated staff to provide a more grounded experience. "For kids that maybe do better with a one-on-one experience, we pair our team members with those kiddos so that they feel like they have a safe person," Trull said. "If they want to step away from the excitement, they have the ability to do that." The event would not have been possible without a significant lift from the medical staff. The guest list, according to Chief Nursing Officer Beth Draves, is the result of deep collaboration between the nursing team and medical providers. "The Child Life team, in partnership with a lot of our providers and nursing teams, goes out and invites patients who have faced life-changing illnesses, experiences or injuries," Draves said. Creating a prom for patients didn't come without its learning curves. Now four years in, the inaugural prom was a formal affair complete with a decorated venue. "We found that that did not work very well at all. There was very low attendance," Trull said. Teen patients tried their luck at arcade games during the fourth annual Banner Children's prom, one of several activity spaces set up to ensure every guest had a place to belong. Isabel Vidrio / Tucson Spotlight. After listening to patient feedback, the team learned the expectations of a traditional prom were too restrictive. "We pivoted from the formal prom idea, and everyone was happy and relaxed," Trull said. "That's the pathway we've gone for the last four years, just a fun night out." While the night is designed to feel like an escape, Draves noted that the clinical safety net remained a top priority and involved securing signed consents and upholding strict regulations. The goal is to provide a "safety-first" environment that allows patients to have an evening of worry-free fun. For Draves, the most profound impact of the prom is the patients' ability to let loose and enjoy themselves. "When you are faced with challenges like many of the guests are, you miss out on stuff. It's hard to watch friends go through and live normal lives when you're in treatment," Draves said. "Seeing them connect with peers who understand their journey and share a sense of normalcy provides a moment of camaraderie."

Three unhoused residents tell a different story. te 2026-04-27T17:40:20.594Z Tucson’s annual homeless count shows little change. Three unhoused residents tell a different story. Three months ago, Cheyenne was 37 and had been unhoused since July, after a falling out with her family. It was her first time living on the street, and she had recently lost her car — the one place she had been able to sleep consistently. “I didn’t realize how tough it was going to be, especially being a woman,” Cheyenne said. Cheyenne spoke to Arizona Luminaria reporters in January as they traveled the city to talk with people living unsheltered in Pima County during the city’s annual Point in Time Count — a one-day effort conducted nationwide to estimate how many people are experiencing homelessness. Across Pima County, hundreds of women are navigating homelessness in similar ways.  Cheyenne is among those represented in the 2026 count, which found that women and girls make up about 35% of people experiencing homelessness locally, while men account for nearly two-thirds. In a vacant lot just south of the Greyhound Bus Station, Izzy and his buddy gathered their bags and moved slowly in the 46-degree January morning. Izzy is Pascua Yaqui and grew up on tribal land, he said. He declined to say how long he has been unhoused. But he was a casino bartender with an education. He went to summer camp as a kid. “Right now, being unhoused is a choice,” he says. “For some people they go through trauma or they never had a family to begin with. Some people were never able to hit that launch pad.” People can be set up for failure, he said. “There needs to be an abolishment of the law that makes it illegal to be homeless. Take politics out of social welfare. It’s a health care problem.” Data from the 2026 count shows how deeply those structural factors run. Of the 2,130 people counted experiencing homelessness in Pima County, more than 70% were living unsheltered — in places like washes, sidewalks and encampments — rather than in shelters or transitional housing. Kane Taylor hadn’t expected to be in Tucson as long as he had been, but it has been hard to get away. A car accident in 2021 left him with a pronounced limp, it also pushed him into a spiral of bad luck that ended with losing his apartment. He had been homeless since 2021. His belongings were in a shopping cart on the day of the count, and he wore a gray sweater with the hood up to guard against the morning chill. “It’s scary because you don’t know if you’re going to make it through the night,” Kane said. Part of that is whether you’ll be assaulted or robbed, but the alternating heat and cold are also difficult. For people like Kane, long-term homelessness is common. The Point in Time Count found that at least 829 people in the region are considered chronically homeless, meaning they’ve experienced homelessness for a year or more while also living with a disability or health condition. Kane’s had trouble finding a shelter that works for him. “You have to go to rehab just to get a spot inside,” Kane said. “With funding cut, everybody’s screwed.” The numbers reflect that gap. Only about a quarter of people counted were staying in emergency shelters, with even fewer in safe haven programs. Those funding cuts have also led to a reduction in shelter beds and, in turn, a decrease in sheltered homelessness exacerbated by temporary shelter renovations limiting bed availability. Kane also had his share of trespassing tickets while sleeping outside in the washes and parks that city ordinances now prohibit sleeping in. Most of those likely had warrants, but he said going to a warrant quash event can end in probation, a commitment he would find hard to keep without a phone or steady place to live. He was saving for a bus ticket and one night in a hotel to help launch him out of Tucson. “Don’t come here,” was Kane’s advice. Nearly 400 volunteers participated in the 2026 count, surveying people across Tucson and Pima County on Jan. 27 to better understand who is experiencing homelessness and what services are needed. The results show a crisis that, while remaining steady, is extensive, with the 2,130 people experiencing homelessness across Pima County representing a 4% decrease from last year. The decrease is not proof of a trend as overall homelessness in Pima County has remained relatively flat since 2022, even as national data shows significant increases in recent years. The PIT count numbers are widely expected to be an undercount simply because it’s not possible to count every person, officials say. But the data also highlights disparities. Indigenous people remain overrepresented among those experiencing homelessness, as do Black residents. Many are also living with serious health challenges. Hundreds of people counted reported serious mental illness or substance use disorders. The count “helps us understand how many of our neighbors are experiencing homelessness and the capacity required of the homeless response system to meet community need,” organizers said in the report.

This is one of the premier dinners in DC to hobknob — to see and be seen. Every time I enter this hotel, I recall that this was the same Hilton where Ronald Reagan was shot and nearly killed 45 years ago. I walked through the same entrance where that assassin’s bullet came within an inch of killing Reagan. I had anticipated a very long security line and about an hour wait to enter the hotel. I brought my paper ticket and my passport identification. To my surprise, the security was lax to put it lightly. Wearing my tux, I walked in the front door by flashing the paper ticket. There was no code to be scanned, and I never once was asked for my ID. I could have given that ticket to anyone or xeroxed several copies for friends who wanted to attend the pre-event parties. That was odd to say the least. The pre-parties hosted by Fox and CNN and Wall Street Journal, with ladies donned in beautiful gowns, lasted about an hour, and then we were ushered into the 2500-seat ballroom for dinner. We entered through an airport-like scanner, but never asked for ID. OBAMA SETS INTERNET ABLAZE WITH 'SICK' REACTION TO THE 'MOTIVE' OF WHCD SHOOTER The room was packed tight and at 7pm President Trump entered to shallow applause — after all, these were mostly journalists unfriendly to Trump. What shocked me was that after the National Anthem and military color guard, Trump and the First Lady sat for dinner front and center in front of 2500 people. That didn’t strike me as safe or advisable. For a sniper, God forbid, it seemed he was a sitting duck. It also struck me that the President, the Vice President and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson — were all in attendance. I am told five of the six in succession to the presidency were there for this crazy party. That didn’t seem advisable either. About 15 minutes into the dinner, I was chatting with the Wall Street Journal reporters at my table, when all hell broke loose. The Secret Service suddenly charged in with pisols and machine guns and all of a sudden I heard two loud booms, like a bomb going off. There was screaming and we all ducked down and many climbed under their tables. I looked toward the President, and he was surrounded by Secret Service. They pulled him out of his seat and shoved him toward the exit. My heart sank, and I panicked when I saw Trump appear to stumble to the ground. You can see that on the video. Oh my God, I gasped, in horror. Trump has been hit. Please NO! I frantically worried. None of us knew what was going on. The Secret Service agents stood on the tables. I was seated at the table next to Speaker Johnson and had just been chatting with him. The Secret Service began yelling: "Where is the Speaker?" His seatmates had pulled him under the table evidently. He was ushered out. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION For about five minutes it was a frightening environment, although people stayed mostly calm. I was impressed with the reporters at our table who were instantly filing stories and taking cell phone photos of the pandemonium even as the safety of the situation was still unresolved. The Secret Service was phenomenal in their instantaneous response. I was heartsick that Trump might have again been hit with a bullet. TRUMP ATTRIBUTED SURVIVAL AT BUTLER RALLY TO 'HAND OF GOD': AUTHOR AND WITNESS REVEALS FIRSTHAND ACCOUNT Everyone stood in mostly stunned silence, and we were told of a lone gunman who had been taken down and that one agent was shot. We didn’t get the word that Trump was unharmed until about 20 minutes later. This was clearly a major security breakdown on multiple levels. It was easier to get into the Hilton to see the president and to get 30 feet from him than to attend a sporting event at a Wizards basketball game down the street. Anyone with a photo copy of the ticket could have entered. No one ever actually inspected my ticket to ensure it was authentic. I saw one person in line enter with a ticket and his date didn’t have one but they waved her in. Given the heightened threat to the President of late and the other highest ranking government officials packed in the room, none of this made any sense to me. Obviously, these protocols need to be fixed.

Janette MacAusland, 49, of Wellesley, Massachusetts, was taken into custody by police in Bennington, Vermont on Friday night after she arrived at a family home in that town "appearing highly distraught," and having a visible, bloody neck injury. "Officers attempted to engage her in conversation and, during the interaction, became increasingly concerned for the welfare of her children," the Bennington Police Department said in a release. FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X Police say they contacted Wellesley authorities for a welfare check at her Massachusetts home. When Wellesley police arrived on the scene, they made a grisly discovery. They say MacAusland's two children were found dead. They took MacAusland into custody as a fugitive from justice, and said Massachusetts issued a criminal warrant for two counts of murder. She is being held in the Marble Valley Correctional Facility in Vermont and will be arraigned Monday afternoon at Rutland Criminal Division court. SIGN UP TO GET THE TRUE CRIME NEWSLETTER The court said it did not know whether Rutland has an attorney. MacAusland's husband, Samuel MacAusland, filed for divorce in October after nine years of marriage, citing an "irretrievable breakdown of the marriage," court records show. Those documents also list their two children, seven-year-old Kai and six-year-old Ella. Samuel was seeking custody of the children. The children attended Schofield Elementary School. "We were devastated to learn of the tragic death of two of our WPS students, a second-grader and kindergartener at Schofield Elementary School," Wellesley Public schools said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital. "This is an unimaginable loss that will be deeply felt not just at Schofield but across our entire community. Our crisis team is planning support for students, staff, and families as we prepare for the reopening of school on Monday. I ask that we all keep this family in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time."

Now the mom of the year nominee, who I think it's safe to assume has no medical background, is facing a lengthy prison sentence. The jury recommended a 60-year prison sentence last week for 41-year-old Lyndsay Spegal. If you're thinking that sounds like a long time behind bars for an attempted ear infection curing slap, you're right. On top of the allegations of violence against her daughter, she was also growing psychedelic substances in her home, reports News On 6, which was located less than 300 feet from an elementary school. Claremore woman found guilty for child abuse, drug charges near school The case started last July when the Claremore Police received a tip about the teenager being slapped. Spegal's daughter told the investigators that her mother became violent when using drugs, including DMT. After initially claiming she had slapped her daughter to clear an ear infection, Spegal told police that she did so because her daughter used profanity, but added that it had still helped with the ear infection. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! A warrant was served and officers reported that they found six jars of what they believed was DMT. They also found a grow box for psilocybin mushrooms, smoking devices, and seeds. Spegal, according to the arrest report the local outlet states, described DMT as "a gift from God and changes lives." The daughter had testified during the trial about prior violent incidents with her mother, including one where her ear was bleeding because she was hit so hard. Spegal, who represented herself, tried to relay that her actions were out of love. The jury wasn’t buying it. The multiple other witnesses who testified against her had made a strong enough case. She's not a doctor nor is she a lawyer. It's highly unlikely that you can slap an ear infection out of someone and I'd bet it's equally unlikely that representing herself helped her cause any. Spegal was found guilty on one count each of child abuse, child neglect and endeavoring to manufacture a controlled substance. According to Law & Crime, sentencing in the case is scheduled for June 30.

It uses official logos, formal language and a serious warning about your account. That's exactly what makes it so dangerous. It's the kind of message many of us would open without a second thought, especially when it mentions security and a government agency. Candace T did pause. She took a closer look and trusted her gut before clicking anything. She wrote to us with three important words: She's right. This email tries hard to look like it came from the Social Security Administration, complete with official branding and a serious tone. But once you slow down, the warning signs start to show. Let's break it down so you know exactly what to watch for. Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy Report Plus, you'll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide free when you join. SSA IMPERSONATION SCAMS ARE GETTING MORE PERSONAL The message says there is a "Security Notice to Active Your Information" tied to a case number. It urges you to download a security update by a specific date to keep your account safe. There's a big "Download now" button front and center. That's the hook. This is a classic phishing setup designed to get you to click before you think. Here are the warning signs that show this email is not what it claims to be. The email comes from a random address that has nothing to do with the Social Security Administration. Official emails from government agencies come from .gov domains. This one does not. The subject line says "Security Notice to Active Your Information." It should say "activate," not "active." Small errors like this are often a giveaway that something is not right and can signal a scam email. The email warns, "You are required to download your updated statement by April 14, 2026." It pushes you to act quickly with a firm deadline. Scammers rely on that pressure, so you do not take the time to verify. Real government notices rarely demand immediate action through email. The email urges you to click a "Download Now" button to get your "updated statement." This is a huge warning sign. The message is trying to get you to download and install a file, which could contain malware that gives attackers access to your device or personal data. The Social Security logo and layout are designed to build trust. Scammers copy these elements to make emails look legitimate. The message even includes a line that says, "This email was sent to you by the Social Security Administration and was produced and distributed at the expense of U.S. taxpayers." That kind of official-sounding language is meant to reassure you, but it does not mean the email is real. The Social Security Administration has made this clear: They do not ask for sensitive information or send software downloads through email. That alone tells you this message is not legitimate. SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION PHISHING SCAM TARGETS RETIREES If you click the "Download now" button, a few things could happen: In many cases, you won't even realize it happened until later. These emails work because they mix fear with familiarity. People trust names like Social Security. They worry about their accounts. That combination makes it easier to trick someone into clicking. The design looks polished. The message feels urgent. The goal is simple: get you to act before you think.  These simple steps can help you avoid falling for this type of phishing email.  1) Pause before you act If an email asks you to download something or act fast, stop and take a breath. Urgency is one of the biggest scam tactics. Look closely at the email domain. Government agencies use .gov addresses. Anything else is a red flag.  If the email claims to be from a government agency, contact that agency through its official website or phone number to confirm.  Do not click links or download attachments from unexpected emails. Instead, go directly to the official website by typing the address yourself. BE AWARE OF EXTORTION SCAM EMAILS CLAIMING YOUR DATA IS STOLEN Install strong antivirus software and keep it updated.

They are not currently following each other, and Brown made it crystal clear she’s not involved.  Just a victim of the social media rumor mill. As OutKick previously reported, Megan broke off her relationship with the NBA star last week after accusing him of cheating. MAVERICKS STAR KLAY THOMPSON FACES CHEATING ALLEGATIONS BY HIS GIRLFRIEND, MEGAN THEE STALLION "Holding you down through all your HORRIBLE mood swings and treatment towards me during your basketball season, now you don’t know if you can be ‘monogamous????’" the rapper wrote on Instagram. "B---h I need a REAL break after this one." In a separate statement, she confirmed the split: "I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Klay. Trust, fidelity and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there’s no real path forward." The situation even spilled over into WNBA circles, with Angel Reese publicly backing Megan. "It’s the way you show up even while carrying so much—that’s what makes you THAT girl," Reese wrote on X. "You always have a little sister riding for you at dawn. I love you, sister." As for Brown, though, she says she’s focused on basketball and wants nothing to do with this. The Storm have one more preseason game on Wednesday before they kick off their WNBA season against the Golden State Valkyries on May 8. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ef9651059ccda1fcc304e2 Trump admin warns Iraq over Iran terror proxies as US reportedly blocks cash payments te 2026-04-27T17:01:05.464Z Trump admin warns Iraq over Iran terror proxies as US reportedly blocks cash payments The Trump administration has reportedly ramped up its punitive measures to compel Iraq to disband Iranian regime-backed militias known as the Popular Mobilization Force (PMF) that form part of its government after sustained attacks on U.S. personnel and facilities. Amid a tenuous ceasefire between the U.S. and the Islamic Republic of Iran, the administration tightened the screws on Iraq by stopping U.S. dollar shipments to Baghdad. The growing disagreements over policy between the U.S. and Iraq could lead to weakening Iran’s presence in the region and advance U.S. war aims against Tehran. In a statement against Iraq’s government, a State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital, "The United States has consistently been clear we will take all measures to counter Iran’s destabilizing activities in Iraq, protect U.S. interests against Iran-aligned terrorist militias in Iraq, and make clear our concerns about the Iraqi government’s failure to prevent this terrorism." US WARNS IRAQ MUST ACT AGAINST IRAN-BACKED MILITIA ATTACKS ON AMERICAN ASSETS The spokesperson added that "While we acknowledge the efforts of Iraqi Security Forces to respond to terrorist attacks by Iran-aligned militia groups, we continue to emphasize that the Iraqi government’s failure to prevent these attacks while some elements associated with the Iraqi government continue to actively provide political, financial, and operational cover for the militias adversely impacts the U.S.-Iraq relationship. The United States will not tolerate attacks on U.S. interests and expects the Iraqi government to immediately take all measures to dismantle the Iran-aligned militia groups in Iraq." The Wall Street Journal first reported last week about the security and financial penalties imposed on Iraq. According to the report, the U.S. halted security cooperation programs with Iraq’s military and stopped "a cargo-plane delivery of nearly $500 million in U.S. banknotes, the proceeds from Iraqi oil sales from Federal Reserve Bank of New York accounts."   The newspaper said it was the second blocked delivery of dollars to the Central Bank of Iraq since the start of the U.S.-Israel war on Feb. 28 against Iran.  The Treasury Department declined to comment on the blocked payments. An Iraqi official told Fox News Digital that "With regard to relations with the United States, Iraq views them as an important partnership based on shared interests and cooperation. The two sides have fought together in a decisive battle against ISIS, reflecting the depth and significance of this relationship." In reference to the pro-Iran militias, the Iraqi official said, "As for the issue of armed factions, it is important to note that the Iraqi reality is highly complex, with overlapping political, security and social dimensions. Some of these factions also possess political and popular influence. Accordingly, addressing this issue requires careful and gradual approaches grounded in a deep understanding of the domestic context, in a way that strengthens state authority and ensures that weapons are confined to the hands of the state while maintaining internal stability." TRUMP THREATENS TO END IRAQ SUPPORT OVER AL-MALIKI COMEBACK BID TIED TO IRAN INFLUENCE The official added that "External measures that fail to take into account the particularities of this reality may lead to counterproductive outcomes and negatively affect internal balances, which would not serve the stability efforts undertaken by Iraq and its partners, foremost among them Washington." The PMF is an umbrella organization of militias largely loyal to the Islamic Republic of Iran — the world’s worst state-sponsor of terrorism, according to the State Department. Members of the PMF have launched attacks on U.S. assets in Iraqi Kurdistan and against Iraqi Kurds — a valuable U.S. ally in the Mideast. A senior Kurdish official told Fox News Digital, "The dollar pause is part of the nuclear option in the Treasury Department, and the Americans have always been reluctant to leverage it. The Iraqis, meanwhile, have been cruel to their partners — Americans and the KRG [Kurdish Regional Government], as this war has shown — and now Washington is drawing a red line." The Kurdish official said, "They’ve made it clear things will only get worse for Iraq if militias resume attacks against U.S. interests, including in the Kurdistan Region. It’s high time the Americans pulled this lever; for too long, it has allowed Iran to pick a premier and dictate the rules, despite repeated encouragement to veto Iran’s cut-outs in Iraq." Both Iraqi and Kurdish officials said the government is in flux as the differnt sides position themselves to select a new Iraqi prime minister. IRAQI STATE BANK ACCUSED OF PROCESSING PAYMENTS FOR HOUTHI TERRORISTS WHO DISRUPT RED SEA COMMERCE The Trump administration opposes the return of former Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki because of his close ties to Iran.  The Kurdish official stressed the role of the majority Shiite population in Iran: "In the end, though, it’s still the Shia house that chooses the premiership. They have some latitude, but ultimately, they will select a candidate acceptable to both Iran and the United States. That’s the game — and America has always reacted to Iran’s game. This time, however, Washington appears intent on influencing the outcome rather than just observing it." The official added, "This matters especially because Iraq depends on oil, and its proceeds are deposited in the U.S. Federal Reserve and American banks. How Washington behaves vis-à-vis those deposits influences the process and reconfigures the balance within the Shia house. It matters enormously." Entifadh Qanbar, a former spokesman for the deputy prime minister of Iraq, warned that there is a pressing need for the Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudan to swiftly dismantle the PMF because they represent a clear and present danger to the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. He told Fox News Digital, The Iraqi government also provides these groups with state identification cards, vehicles, and official government license plates under the cover of the PMF structure. This allows them to enter Baghdad’s high-security Green Zone at will and threaten the U.S. Embassy or any Iraqi state institution." To underscore the dangers of the PMF, the U.S. Department of Justice announced on Monday a $10 million bounty on the terrorist leader of the pro-Iranian militia Harakat Ansar Allah al-Awfiya (HAAA).   The U.S. embassy on Monday wrote on X that the pro-Iran militia "Harakat Ansar Allah al-Awfiya (HAAA) terrorists have launched attacks across Iraq and the region, including the April 8 ambush of U.S. diplomats near the Baghdad International Airport.  HAAA terrorists continue to undermine Iraqi sovereignty while threatening the safety and security of both Iraqi and U.S. civilians.  We will not tolerate attacks on U.S. interests and expect all measures will be taken to dismantle Iran-aligned terrorist militia groups in Iraq."

Guy Rivera, 36, was handed the sentence in a Queens courtroom after being convicted of aggravated manslaughter and attempted murder in the March 2024 shooting of the 31-year-old detective during a traffic stop in Far Rockaway, according to Fox 5 New York and the Queens District Attorney’s Office. Rivera was also convicted of attempting to murder NYPD Sgt. Sasha Rosen, who was on scene during the shooting. The sentencing unfolded inside a packed courtroom, where Diller’s family delivered emotional statements about the devastation left behind — what his widow has described as a "life sentence of grief." TENNESSEE REPEAT FELON CHARGED IN RHODES COLLEGE STUDENT'S 2021 MURDER LEARNS HIS FATE Before handing down the sentence, Queens Supreme Court Justice Michael Aloise acknowledged the family’s pain — while underscoring the reality Rivera now faces. "The defendant killed your loved one… there are no words in the English language that are going to take away the pain and suffering," Aloise said. "Not even the knowledge that this defendant will most certainly die in a prison cell and I promise you he will." Rivera was found guilty earlier this month of aggravated manslaughter, attempted murder of a police officer and multiple weapons charges. However, the jury acquitted him of first-degree murder, a decision that drew fierce backlash from law enforcement officials and the detective’s supporters. FAMILY OF FALLEN VIRGINIA POLICE OFFICER SAY EXPECTING FATHER, 25, 'NEVER HESITATED' TO HELP THOSE IN NEED That verdict has continued to spark backlash. The split decision came after tense deliberations, with jurors initially sent back after one member broke ranks during polling, forcing further discussion before a final verdict was reached. Following the verdict, a former NYPD sergeant said on "FOX & Friends First" that jurors "absolutely missed the mark" by rejecting the top charge. DANIEL PENNY DEFENSE EYES MANHATTAN DA ALVIN BRAGG FOR POTENTIAL MALICIOUS PROSECUTION LAWSUIT "When you intentionally bring an illegal firearm onto a street, you hold it in your hand, and you pull a trigger, you know the consequences," Joseph Imperatrice said at the time. "For this jury to turn around and not think for one second that that was murder… that’s intentional, and they absolutely missed the mark here." Legal analysts also raised concerns in the days after the verdict. "You attempted to kill the one officer, but then they struggled with intent on the first-degree charge… it does seem as though there was some misunderstanding as far as the law goes," Fox News contributor Josh Ritter said. REPEAT OFFENDER KILLS 2 DEPUTIES DAYS AFTER $50K BOND DESPITE LONG VIOLENT RECORD: POLICE According to prosecutors, the deadly encounter unfolded on March 25, 2024, when Diller and members of the NYPD’s Community Response Team approached a suspiciously parked vehicle in Far Rockaway. Authorities said Rivera ignored repeated commands to exit the vehicle before pulling a .380-caliber handgun and firing, striking Diller in the abdomen below his bulletproof vest. After shooting Diller, Rivera pointed the gun at Sgt. Rosen and pulled the trigger, but the weapon jammed, prosecutors said. Diller managed to wrestle the gun away before collapsing from his injuries. COP WHO KILLED DRUG SUSPECT WITH IGLOO COOLER APPEALS CONVICTION THAT MADE HIM AN EXAMPLE He later died at the hospital. Diller, who had been off duty earlier that day, had been at a park with his wife and young son before being called in. "The last words Detective Jonathan Diller told his wife were ‘I love you,’" Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said. GOT A TIP? In a statement following the sentencing, Katz said the punishment ensures Rivera "will never be free again to terrorize the streets of New York City." "Jonathan Diller represented the very best of law enforcement: courage, commitment and service to community," she said. "The void left by his senseless loss… is immeasurable." In court, Diller’s widow spoke directly about the life that was taken from her family. "The court has called this manslaughter. But for me, there is nothing lesser about the loss I live with every day," she said. "There is silence in my home where there should be his voice… I live with conversations that will never happen." GET BREAKING NEWS BY EMAIL His mother also described a life permanently shattered. "On March 25th, 2024, this defendant made the conscious choice to pull the trigger and take Jonathan's life, robbing him of his future and destroying my life at the same time, she said. "Since March 25th, 2024. My world has been completely shattered. Everything feels empty without him." "I didn’t just lose my son, I lost watching him continue to grow, to love, to be the incredible father that I knew he would always be," she continued. The case has become a broader symbol of frustration among law enforcement, with critics pointing to repeat offenders and what they describe as failures in the justice system. Outside court, a large showing of NYPD officers gathered in support of Diller’s family, underscoring the impact the case has had across the department. Diller was posthumously promoted to Detective First Grade. He is survived by his wife and young son. Fox News Digital's Landon Mion and Taylor Penley contributed to this report. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ef91a0059ccda1fcc30394 Fetterman breaks with Democrats after shooting scare, backs Trump on major White House project te 2026-04-27T16:41:04.753Z Fetterman breaks with Democrats after shooting scare, backs Trump on major White House project Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., broke party lines again after the close call at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner this weekend, siding with President Donald Trump's push to build a ballroom at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Fetterman, who has repeatedly shown he is willing to defy his party, posted on X that he was "there front and center" at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner when the shooting occurred Saturday night. The alleged shooter, 31-year-old California resident Cole Allen, broke through multiple layers of Secret Service security at the Washington Hilton and nearly opened fire in a room where the president, vice president, and other key administration and federal officials were present. "After witnessing last night," Fetterman called for people to "drop the TDS [Trump derangement syndrome] and build the White House ballroom." He said the purpose of the ballroom would be to host events "exactly like these." HOW DID SUSPECTED GUNMAN GET WEAPONS INTO CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER? EX-DETECTIVE QUESTIONS SECURITY FAILURES "We were there front and center," he wrote. "That venue wasn’t built to accommodate an event with the line of succession for the U.S. government." Though construction is continuing on the $400 million privately funded White House ballroom, the project is currently bogged down in a legal challenge by the nonprofit National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP). After the shooting, the Justice Department pressed NTHP to drop its lawsuit, citing concerns about the safety and security of the president and other key personnel. "[Y]our lawsuit puts the lives of the president, his family, and his staff at grave risk," Brett Shumate, assistant attorney general in DOJ's Civil Division, wrote in a Sunday letter to opposing counsel, shared on X by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. "Enough is enough," Shumate continued. "Your client should voluntarily dismiss this frivolous lawsuit today in light of last night's assassination attempt on President Trump." "As history proves, that venue is demonstrably unsafe for the President of the United States because its size presents extraordinary security challenges for the Secret Service. "[Saturday’s] assassination attempt on President Trump proves, yet again, that the White House ballroom is essential for the safety and security of the President, his family, his cabinet, and his staff." SECURITY UNDER SCRUTINY AS WHCD ATTENDEES CITE INCONSISTENT SCREENING BEFORE SHOOTING Raquel Debono, a conservative influencer who attended the dinner, told Fox News Digital, "No ballroom no matter how grand, matters if we can't keep people safe first." "Everyone's debating architecture while a shooter got into what should have been the most heavily secured event in America - it’s a ridiculous distraction," said Debono. "The security failures are the story. It was too easy to get in." Debono shared on X that she left the dinner early prior to the shooting due to an "uneasy feeling." She noted that their bags were not checked and that people were "shoved through doors." Trump himself pointed to the incident as evidence that the hotel venue was "not a particularly secure building," arguing that a new White House ballroom — equipped with features like bulletproof materials — would offer a safer alternative. "It’s really what you need," Trump said on Fox News on Sunday. "You can’t have a thousand [hotel] rooms or whatever it is, I mean, it’s a very big hotel, on top of the ballroom. And people come down the elevator, and they’re right next to the ballroom." WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER SHOOTING: TIMELINE TRACES HOW SUSPECT’S ALLEGED CROSS-COUNTRY PLAN UNFOLDED Though the shooting prompted widespread calls for a White House ballroom, Fetterman stood out as a lone Democrat willing to join in on the push. On Sunday, Fetterman admitted on CNN, "I never really had a strong opinion on the ballroom to be honest, but this clearly demonstrated [the need]." He emphasized the need to ensure not only the president’s protection but also that of those in the line of succession, should anything happen to the president. "I just walked away from that still kind of stunned how lucky we were that no one was seriously hurt," said Fetterman. "And when we have the significant majority of our leadership in a very small, clustered area, it could have been much more catastrophic for our nation that day."

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ef8f31059ccda1fcc302c0 Iran turns to Putin as US talks collapse, Hormuz standoff threatens global oil flow te 2026-04-27T16:30:41.426Z Iran turns to Putin as US talks collapse, Hormuz standoff threatens global oil flow Iran’s foreign minister met with Russian President Vladimir Putin Monday as U.S.–Iran negotiations appeared to collapse, raising the risk of further escalation in the Strait of Hormuz — a critical global oil choke point. Abbas Araghchi arrived in Moscow for talks with Putin as diplomatic efforts to end the conflict between Iran and Washington remain stalled. "We see how courageously and heroically the people of Iran are fighting for their independence, for their sovereignty," Putin said at the meeting in St. Petersburg, according to Russian state news agencies. "The significance of this conversation is hard to overestimate in terms of how the situation around Iran and in the Middle East is developing," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters earlier. RUSSIA, CHINA VETO UN RESOLUTION AIMED AT REOPENING STRAIT OF HORMUZ, HOURS BEFORE TRUMP DEADLINE The visit comes just days after Araghchi held talks with Pakistani mediators, where he said Iran had shared its position on ending the war but questioned whether the U.S. was "truly serious about diplomacy." President Donald Trump has pushed back sharply on that characterization, signaling Washington believes it holds the advantage. The meeting comes at a pivotal moment, as tensions at sea intensify and scrutiny grows over Russia’s role following reports Moscow may have shared intelligence with Tehran during the conflict. War Secretary Pete Hegseth warned in March that Russia "should not be involved" in the escalating war, as reports emerged suggesting Moscow may be providing intelligence to Iran on U.S. military positions in the region. U.S. officials say they are closely tracking any potential intelligence-sharing between Russia and Iran, while downplaying the confirmed operational impact. Still, the possibility of Russian support — whether through intelligence, technology transfers or other assistance — has raised concerns that Moscow could indirectly influence the battlefield without committing forces. Araghchi has acknowledged that Russia is assisting Iran "in many different directions," though he has not publicly detailed the scope of that cooperation. Russia has positioned itself as a potential mediator in the conflict, offering to help restore calm following U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran — actions Moscow has publicly condemned. The Kremlin has also proposed storing Iran’s enriched uranium as part of a potential effort to ease tensions, though the U.S. has not taken up the offer. The outreach comes as ties between Moscow and Tehran have deepened in recent years. Iran last year finalized a 20-year strategic partnership agreement with Russia, which is building two additional nuclear reactors at Iran’s Bushehr facility — the country’s only nuclear power plant. At the same time, Iran has supported Russia’s war effort in Ukraine, supplying Shahed drones that Moscow has used in strikes against Ukrainian targets. The visit also follows diplomatic efforts over the weekend, when Araghchi met with Pakistani mediators and said Iran had shared its position on ending the war but questioned whether the U.S. was "truly serious about diplomacy." President Donald Trump has pushed back sharply on that characterization, signaling Washington believes it holds the advantage. "If they want to talk, all they have to do is call," Trump said over the weekend, adding that the U.S. has "all the cards." Trump has also pointed to what he described as "tremendous infighting and confusion" within Iran’s leadership, arguing Iran is under internal pressure as the conflict drags on. The president canceled a planned trip by special envoy Steve Witkoff and adviser Jared Kushner to Pakistan, where they had been expected to participate in mediated talks with Iranian officials. Trump said the trip would have been a waste of time, arguing there was no reason for U.S. officials to make an 18-hour flight when negotiations could take place remotely. Both sides have since traded blame for the breakdown in talks, with Iran accusing the U.S. of making "excessive demands," while the Trump administration has insisted Tehran must return to negotiations on U.S. terms. Attempts at mediation, including efforts in Pakistan, have failed to produce progress, with both sides refusing to compromise on core issues such as Iran’s nuclear program and control of the Strait of Hormuz. As diplomacy falters, the confrontation has increasingly shifted to the water. The U.S. has enforced a naval blockade targeting Iranian shipping, while Iran has restricted and at times threatened traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, triggering a high-stakes standoff over one of the world’s most vital energy corridors. Roughly one-fifth of global oil supply passes through the narrow waterway, making disruptions there a direct threat to global markets. TRUMP SEEKS WARSHIPS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES TO HELP SECURE STRAIT OF HORMUZ Oil prices already have risen as tensions escalate and shipping traffic declines amid uncertainty over whether the strait will remain fully open. Iran has floated a potential off-ramp, proposing to reopen the strait if the U.S. lifts its blockade and agrees to defer nuclear negotiations — a framework the Trump administration has shown little willingness to accept. At the same time, Iran’s outreach to Moscow is drawing renewed scrutiny over Russia’s role in the conflict. Araghchi has acknowledged that Russia is assisting Iran "in many different directions," though he has not publicly detailed the scope of that cooperation. The meeting with Putin now signals Iran may be seeking to deepen that relationship as leverage — or as an alternative diplomatic channel — as direct talks with Washington falter. With both sides dug in and pressure building at sea, the conflict is increasingly defined by a three-way dynamic: stalled diplomacy, rising military risk in the Strait of Hormuz and the growing question of how far Russia is willing to align itself with Iran. Analysts warn that without a breakthrough, the standoff risks sliding further toward a broader confrontation — with global economic consequences tied directly to the fate of the world’s most important oil transit route. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Iranian mission to the United Nations, the Russian embassy and the White House for comment.

The New York Times spoke to Glantz after several videos were shared of him continuing to snack on his appetizer as President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Cabinet officials were evacuated from the dinner after gunshots rang out after a shooter breached the hotel. "I’m a New Yorker," he told the Times. "We live with sirens and activity happening all the time. I wasn’t scared. There are hundreds of Secret Service agents hurtling themselves over tables and chairs, and I wanted to watch." "A lot of people said, ‘Why didn’t you get on the floor? Everybody else at your table and in the room was on the floor,’" he told the outlet. AUTHORITIES NAB WHITE HOUSE FENCE CLIMBER JUST TWO WEEKS INTO TRUMP'S NEW TERM Glantz also said he had a bad back and that he was concerned with hygiene, so he didn't want to touch the floor. "First of all, I have a bad back. I couldn’t get on the floor, and if I did get on the floor, they’d have to bring in people to get me off the floor. And No. 2, I’m a hygiene freak. There was no freaking way I was getting in my new tux on the dirty Hilton floor. It was not happening." CNN's Christiane Amanpour identified the man as her agent in a post to X. "Calm, collected and carrying on in a scary crisis, my super cool agent Michael Glantz," she wrote. "So glad everyone made it safely out of that ballroom." Amanpour also said Glantz was Wolf Blitzer's agent in a follow-up post to X.

"CAA super-agent Michael Glantz is the man eating his salad in this viral video," he wrote.

The site of the Washington Hilton was also the location of the assassination attempt against President Ronald Reagan in 1981.

"The proposed amendment is invalid for several reasons, any one of which is sufficient to invalidate the proposed amendment and require invalidation of the vote," Thomas McCarthy, lawyer for the Republican challenge, concluded in the hour-long hearing on Monday. The Republicans contend that the Democrat-led General Assembly violated procedural requirements by placing a constitutional amendment before voters to authorize mid-decade redistricting. If the court agrees that lawmakers broke the rules, it could invalidate the amendment and render last week’s statewide vote meaningless. "It's often said ours is a government of laws, not of men," McCarthy continued. "Sadly, that's not the case if a bare partisan majority can circumvent the constitutional amendment process and undermine the rights of the people in whom all government power ultimately rests – also, that partisan majority can transform our system from a nonpartisan one where the voters elected representatives into a partisan one where the representatives select their voters." GOP FRACTURES OVER VIRGINIA REDISTRICTING MAP HANDING DEMOCRATS 10-1 EDGE "We ask that the court enforce the constitutional amendment process by affirming the decision below, declaring the proposed amendment invalid and enjoin certification of the election," he added. Lawyers for Democratic legislative leaders urged the Virginia Supreme Court to uphold the amendment and clear the way for the new map, arguing voters and lawmakers followed every step required by the state Constitution. In rebuttal, attorney Matthew Seligman said, "The people did, in fact, validly ratify the proposed amendment last Tuesday," and argued challengers were trying to undo a democratic process that had already been completed through legislative approval and a statewide vote. Notably, the justices acknowledged the courts in Virginia only permitted the vote to be held amid the legal challenge. DEMOCRATS' CHAIR VOWS TO FIGHT 'TOOTH AND NAIL' TO STOP TRUMP, REPUBLICANS, IN REDISTRICTING BATTLE Seligman also argued to the justices the challengers’ case depended on reading limits into the Constitution that are not actually there. He argued the General Assembly controls its own procedures, that nothing in the Constitution barred lawmakers from acting as they did in special session, and that the legal meaning of "election" supports the state’s position that the amendment was passed before the relevant November election. He closed by saying that federal law and court precedent back the view that Election Day is a single day in November, defeating the challengers’ argument. The Virginia court proceedings mark the latest twist in a national redistricting battle between Republicans and Democrats seeking an advantage in a November election that will determine whether Republicans maintain their narrow majority in the House.

(Photo by John Moore/Getty Images) WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday will hear oral arguments on the Trump administration’s efforts to strip temporary legal status from 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians, a move that could open them up to deportation. The case has the potential to have an impact on multiple lawsuits challenging the Trump administration’s efforts to end protections for more than 1.3 million immigrants from all over the globe with Temporary Protected Status, granted because they hail from countries deemed too dangerous for return.  The effort to end TPS designation is part of President Donald Trump’s broader efforts to curtail immigration and strip legal status for people, opening them up to his mass deportation drive.  “The decision will have the capacity to impact everyone with TPS,” José Palma, a coordinator for the National TPS Alliance, told reporters.  Palma is a TPS recipient from El Salvador. At the start of the second Trump administration there were 17 countries with a TPS designation. Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ended the status for 13 countries — Afghanistan, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Haiti, Honduras, Myanmar, Nepal, Nicaragua, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen.   Noem argued that she determined the countries no longer met the threshold for TPS and that the designation was not in the interest of the United States. The moves sparked multiple lawsuits from immigration advocates and TPS recipients. Lower courts have mostly blocked the terminations from taking effect, but it’s still resulted in loss of work authorizations, healthcare and deportations of some people with temporary status, Palma said. In the TPS Haiti and Syria case before the justices, which was consolidated from two separate cases, lawyers argue that DHS did not follow proper government procedures in revoking the status.  They also contend that the termination of a country destination was predetermined and motivated by racism, especially the targeting of Black immigrants such as Haitians.  “The most damning evidence is President Trump’s own words, his own actions,” Sejal Zota, one of the attorneys on the Haiti TPS case, told reporters during a briefing. “During his last campaign, he falsely claimed Haitian immigrants were eating the pets of the people in Springfield (Ohio). And days later, after the pets comment, he promised to revoke Haiti’s TPS and send them back to their country.” Even after the justices rule, the outcome of the cases is not final because both cases were in preliminary stages at the district court level before the Trump administration took the two cases to the Supreme Court, skirting the typical appeals courts.  A ruling is expected in late June or early July, and then both cases would go back to the lower courts to continue on the merits argument. However, the practical effect, if the Supreme Court finds in favor of the government, would be that Haitians and Syrians would be potentially subject to deportation.  History of TPS Congress created TPS in 1990 and instructed the attorney general to consult with appropriate agencies, such as the State Department, to designate a country that is too unsafe to return to due to war, major disasters or other extraordinary circumstances.  When Congress created DHS in 2002 – in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attack – that authority was transferred over to the secretary of Homeland Security.  A designation lasts six,12 or 18 months, and each recipient has to undergo a background check in order to remain in the U.S. and have valid work permits. Congress did not place any limits on how many times a country can be renewed for TPS, citing the potential for long-term conflicts like civil war. Zota, one of the attorneys on the TPS case for Haiti, said the Trump administration has “attempted to reverse-engineer the facts to justify its politically … motivated decision to terminate Haiti’s TPS.” She said the State Department has warned people not to travel to Haiti due to gang violence, kidnappings, terrorist activity and civil unrest.  The State Department advises people if they still plan to travel to Haiti to make sure to leave dental records and DNA in case their family needs to identify their remains.  “Our own government has conceded the peril there,” Zota said.  Haiti was first given a TPS designation after the devastating 2010 earthquake. The designation was renewed multiple times due to the disaster and then again after Haiti’s president was assassinated by gangs in 2021, leading to further destabilization, violence and food shortages.  What is the role of the courts? Ahilan Arulanantham, an attorney arguing on behalf of TPS holders from Syria, said one of the questions the justices will be presented with is whether the courts have any role in making sure that the federal government complies with making TPS decisions, such as making sure that the country determinations are made in coordination with relevant agencies.  He added that the Trump administration is not coordinating with the State Department to evaluate country conditions, which he argues is not following proper administrative procedure. “You’ll hear a lot of talk in the Supreme Court argument about whether we’re challenging a determination with respect to TPS decisions, and that’s because there’s a provision of the TPS statute which says there’s no judicial review of any determination with respect to a termination of TPS,” Arulanantham said to reporters. Arulanantham is also the co-director at the Center for Immigration Law and Policy at the UCLA School of Law. He said that the Trump administration is arguing about that TPS statue and whether the courts have any say. “We think it means that the courts are not allowed to second-guess decisions about whether countries are safe,” he said. “The government thinks it means that … the courts aren’t allowed to look at any of this and that any decision they make, any rule that they set for TPS, is immune from review entirely.” In briefs to the high court, U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer has argued that the lower courts should not interfere with the DHS secretary’s decision. Arulanantham said there’s a “huge amount” at stake in the Trump administration’s argument about review of TPS designations.  “If the government is correct, then they can terminate TPS without conducting any country conditions review at all,” he said. “They can do it for reasons that are completely arbitrary.” Other TPS decisions This is not the first time a TPS case has appeared before the justices during the second Trump administration.  The high court twice allowed the Trump administration to remove TPS for more than 300,000 of the 600,000 Venezuelans in the program. Because those decisions were made on an emergency basis, the justices did not give any legal reasoning before sending the cases back to the lower courts.  Federal judges have often cited the lack of opinion from the high court when issuing a ruling to block the Trump administration from ending TPS designation from other countries.  Wednesday’s oral arguments will be the first time the justices will hear a TPS case and give a decision on their ruling about the Trump administration’s move to revoke protections.

After Sunday’s doubleheader loss to the Rockies (3-1, 3-0), which completed a three-game sweep, Bichette could be seen sitting in the dugout for several minutes, possibly contemplating what he’s gotten himself into. This Mets team, with the second-highest MLB payroll at $369 million, had just been humiliated by a franchise that lost 119 games a year ago. There’s bottoming out and then there’s where Bichette and this team find themselves. "Many fans in the announced crowd of 38,155 left after the Rockies took a 3-0 lead in the third inning" of the second game of the doubleheader, the Associated Press reported.  The early-season struggles have been eating at Bichette. Last week, the two-time All-Star admitted as much. "We definitely need to reset," he said prior to the Rockies series. "You can't put too much pressure on yourself. It's going to take a full team effort, but I definitely know that I need to play better to help this team start winning some games." The results speak for themselves. The Mets have won two out of their last 10 games.  Fans have rightfully been frustrated with Bichette and this team since opening weekend when they booed the new third baseman after he went 1-for-14 against the Pirates. With the Mets trailing the Braves by 10 1/2 games, the reality is setting in for fans. This season just might be lost, and with Bichette holding an opt-out clause, his days might be numbered. Would Bichette turn down $42 million in 2027 to stay with this franchise for another season? We'll soon find out just how much Bo values money over his mental health.

Rep. Tom Kean Jr., R-N.J., has missed more than a month of votes due to an unspecified health issue. It remains to be seen whether the two-term lawmaker will be absent again this week as the House considers a budget blueprint to fund immigration enforcement and legislation reauthorizing the government’s warrantless surveillance powers. Kean’s prolonged absence comes as House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., can afford to lose just a handful of votes on party-line legislation given House Republicans’ razor-thin majority. "He’s expected to be totally fine and back to a full schedule soon," Harrison Neely, a spokesperson for Kean, told Fox News Digital.  MEET ANALILIA MEJIA, THE SANDERS-AOC BACKED PROGRESSIVE WHO JUST WON ELECTION TO CONGRESS Neely did not specify when Kean plans to resume work or the nature and extent of Kean’s illness. Kean has missed 50 roll call votes since March 17, amounting to a 100% absence rate, according to GovTrack, a website that monitors congressional absences. He last voted on March 5 — nearly two months ago. Johnson said Thursday that he spoke to Kean by phone and expects him to make a full recovery. "He is attending to a personal health matter and expects to be back to 100% very soon," Johnson said in a statement to Fox News Digital, first obtained by The New York Times. "Tom is one of the most dedicated and hardest-working Members of Congress, and I am grateful for all he does and will continue to do to serve New Jerseyans and our country." THESE HOUSE MAVERICKS DEFIED THEIR OWN PARTIES MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE IN 2025 The scrutiny over Kean’s extended absences comes as national Democrats are aggressively targeting his swing seat ahead of November’s midterm elections. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates Kean’s re-election contest as a "toss-up." Kean fended off Democratic candidate Sue Altman by five points in 2024. Four Democratic challengers are vying in a June primary to unseat him. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) sharply criticized Kean for not disclosing his specific health issue to his constituents. "New Jersey voters deserve to know where Congressman Kean Jr. is and why he continues to play the stock market while in office," Eli Cousin, a DCCC spokesman, told Fox News Digital.  Cousin alluded to a recent NOTUS report that found Kean has continued to make several personal stock trades during his absence from Washington, D.C. A Kean spokesperson told The New Jersey Globe last year that the congressman’s investments are handled by financial advisors without his involvement.  Kean’s office has notably continued to post on social media throughout his extended absence from Washington, D.C. On Wednesday, Kean’s office highlighted that two bills he introduced earlier in this Congress advanced out of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.  The post did not mention that Kean was not present for the committee markup.

There are four major sports in the United States, and all four saw some action last week. Baseball had regular season games, the NFL had its draft, and the NBA and NHL are in playoff seasons. I've covered a lot of NBA games, but I'm switching to the ice tonight. We have the Flyers looking to eliminate the Penguins in Game 5 of their seven-game set. In order to get here, the Flyers went 43-27-12 for the season. They were pretty successful on the road this season as well. The team went 23-14-4 as a road team in the regular season, and they've already won two games in this series as the road team. I always like looking at the stats for hockey teams, and I find it interesting when a team is successful despite averaging about the same number of goals per game as they allow, and the same amount of shots allowed and taken per game. That's precisely what the Flyers have done, but clearly it has led to success. In this series, the Flyers won the first three games. In Pittsburgh, they were able to win Game 1 by a score of 3-2. In Game 2, they posted a shutout, getting the best of the Penguins 3-0. As the series shifted over to Philadelphia, the team was down early in the game before a fight broke out and woke up the Flyers. They ended up winning that game 5-2. Tonight, they will likely have Dan Vladar in the net. For the season, he went 29-14-7, good for the ninth-best record in the league. He did have a 2.42 goals allowed per game average, which was third in the league. He hasn't allowed more than three goals to the Penguins in any game this series. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM For the Penguins, they were the favorite in this series and have looked overmatched much of the time. Their season wasn't that much different than Philadelphia's, but they did have more points. At the end of the year, the team was 41-25-16. I always find the overtime losses interesting as well. That means the Penguins essentially ended the year as a .500 team. That's pretty much what they've looked like through this series. The strength of the team was the offense with 3.54 goals per game, but they've only scored more than two goals in a game once. Penguins make massive goalie change, adding an interesting twist to must-win Game 4 The lone win the Penguins recorded was in Game 4, winning 4-2. A lot of that has been attributed to the goalie change that head coach Dan Muse made before the game. He went away from his normal No. 1 and put in Arturs Silvos. He rewarded Muse with a strong performance, saving all but two of the 30 shots he faced. Oddly enough, he was worse at home this season than he was on the road, so this might not have been an ideal situation to put him in. However, this was the second time this season he faced the Flyers. In the regular season, he allowed just two goals in 34 shot attempts. It is hard to say that the Penguins figured something out about Vladar. They still only scored three goals against him, but that was a welcome surprise after averaging just 1.3 goals per game in the first three games of the series. Pittsburgh has pressure on them to keep the series going, of course, but closing out a series is tough, especially on the road. For the Flyers to win this game, they have to make Silvos uncomfortable and attack the net constantly. If they play back and patient, I think that favors the Penguins. For Pittsburgh, their offense is their key to success. I expect them to attack relentlessly. I like the over 5.5 in this game, and I do think the Flyers close it out. I'll split a unit on the Flyers winning and the over 5.5 goals.

The actor found himself at the center of a social media firestorm Saturday night after posting a simple three-word message on X: "Got it done."  But because the tweet went out roughly 20 minutes after a security scare at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, plenty of people assumed the worst. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FROM OUTKICK That incident — in which a gunman attempted to breach security at the Washington Hilton — prompted a swift evacuation of President Donald Trump and others inside the ballroom. Thankfully, the suspect was apprehended before anyone in the room was harmed. But by the time those details were still coming into focus, Stiller’s tweet was already taking on a life of its own. "Got what done?" Rep. Nancy Mace responded. Former acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell added a simple: "Wtf?" From there, people began to pile on. BONGINO QUESTIONS SECURITY PERIMETER AT WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER: 'COMPRESSED TOO FAR' But anyone who follows Stiller knows exactly what he was talking about. The guy live-tweets Knicks basketball like it’s his full-time job. And on this particular night, he had already been posting for hours about New York’s playoff matchup against the Atlanta Hawks — a game the Knicks won 114-98. His "Got it done" tweet came right as the final buzzer sounded, wrapping up a night-long running commentary on the game. In other words, it clearly had nothing to do with the failed alleged assassination attempt. Now, to be fair, the timing wasn’t great. If the situation at the Correspondents’ Dinner had ended differently — if someone inside that ballroom had been seriously injured — then a tweet like that, from someone who has been openly critical of Trump in the past, would understandably raise eyebrows. But that’s not what happened. Not to underplay the seriousness of the situation, of course, but the suspect never made it inside. No one in the ballroom was harmed. And in that context, the idea that "got it done" was referencing the incident just doesn’t make much sense. Still, the tweet racked up more than 10 million views as people rushed to react before taking a closer look at what was actually going on. Stiller didn’t engage with the criticism. He just kept right on tweeting about the Knicks. There is a broader lesson here, though. On a platform like X — where emotions run high and accuracy is often sacrificed in favor of engagement — it’s worth taking a few seconds to search for context before firing up the outrage machine.

"I received a full briefing yesterday morning from our BAU [Behavioral Analysis Unit]," Patel shared with "Fox & Friends." "What that does is not necessarily provide direct evidence to be utilized in court, but it examines what we have collected so far to include emails, social media postings, witness interviews, interviews with people, family, friends and neighbors, so we can provide a complete picture of this individual's mindset and intent when we make the presentment in court," he added. TRUMP PUSHES BACK AFTER MICHELLE OBAMA KNOCKS EAST WING RENOVATION, CALLING OLD ARRANGEMENT ‘A DISASTER' Agents have been working "all weekend" to piece together the information, Patel shared, adding the agency is currently going through and is in the process of finalizing content compiled since the incident. More specifically, Patel said investigators know when and how the suspect, 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen of Torrance, California, arrived at the Washington Hilton hotel, how he got down to the area in question and how he was "able to get through security undetected." HOUSE DEMOCRATS DEMAND KASH PATEL TAKE ALCOHOL TEST UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY AFTER ATLANTIC REPORT "We have all those questions answered, and that's why I wanted to present with the [acting] attorney general [Todd Blanche] at the press conference later today, once the magistrate has certified or signed off on the criminal complaint..." Patel said. "This is something the movies don't even write about, something like this, this kind of scenario, this kind of tragedy, and thankfully, the quick reaction of law enforcement... we're gonna be able to present to the world in less than 36 hours almost exactly what happened — this individual's entire background... who he knew, where he lived, who he was talking to, everything about the firearms, everything about ballistics," he added. "As you saw, our evidence response teams were on scene so fast. That is the reason we are going to be able to present to you this material." Pressed by co-host Lawrence Jones on whether Allen was known and profiled before the incident, Patel deferred to what will soon be disclosed to the public, noting that he is unable to "get ahead" of the Justice Department and the federal magistrate as details are prepared for public release. "We have answered all those questions, and that's what we've been working towards. America deserves answers. President Trump has committed to transparency and accountability, and what we are doing with the team that the president has assembled is answering those questions in record speed," he reiterated.

Hisham Abugharbieh, a 26-year-old telemarketer, is accused of killing his 27-year-old roommate Zamil Limon and Nahida Bristy, Limon's girlfriend and also 27. According to a bail filing from Tampa-area prosecutors Saturday, Abugharbieh asked the AI what would happen if someone threw a bag full of human remains in a dumpster. When ChatGPT told him the idea sounded dangerous, the suspect allegedly countered, "How would they find out?" BARRICADED SUSPECT FACES MURDER CHARGES AFTER 2 DOCTORAL STUDENTS VANISHED FROM CAMPUS, 1 REMAINS MISSING Later searches also raised red flags to deputies, according to the filing. He allegedly asked about changing a car's vehicle identification number and whether it's legal to keep an unlicensed firearm at home. FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X "Has there been someone who survived a sniper bullet to the head?" reads another query. "Will my neighbors hear my gun?" Police recovered Limon's student ID, glasses and credit cards in a dumpster near the apartment he shared with Abugharbieh. They also found a CVS receipt for trash bags, Lysol wipes and Febreze — and bloody clothes. Deputies later found similar bags under the suspect's bed, in the dumpster, and containing Limon's body. SIGN UP TO GET TRUE CRIME NEWSLETTER His remains were later recovered in a black plastic bag near the Howard Frankland Bridge, which connects Tampa to St. Petersburg. He had been stabbed repeatedly. Before police had a search warrant for the suspect's phone, they said he gave conflicting stories. The filing states they were also able to trace his car to the Clearwater area with traffic cameras. A search of Abugharbieh's phone revealed he'd been on the bridge around 1:30 a.m. on April 17, prosecutors wrote. He allegedly stopped for several minutes and used the flashlight tool on his phone. SEND US A TIP HERE Bristy's whereabouts remained unknown when the bail application was filed Saturday, but authorities found her shoes and purse inside the apartment, according to court documents. On Sunday, deputies recovered another set of human remains. The Pinellas County Medical Examiner's Office was working to identify them. The two were reported missing on April 17 after a mutual friend couldn't find or get in touch with them. LISTEN TO THE NEW 'CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO' PODCAST After barricading himself in a home for over an hour Friday morning, Abugharbieh eventually surrendered to police wearing only a towel, as seen on aerial video of the incident. Court records show Abugharbieh had violent priors. In addition to battery and burglary charges in 2023, he had two violence cases, in 2023 and 2025. His mother told deputies he had anger management issues, according to court filings. In the 2025 incident, his brother claimed to have been punched in the face before Abugharbieh kicked their mother in the back. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

"I live with my mom and [four] younger siblings who don't want him to return." He faces charges that include battery, false imprisonment, tampering with evidence, unlawfully moving a dead body, failing to report a death, and two counts of first-degree murder. He is being held without bail at the Falkenburg Road Jail near Tampa. He could face the death penalty if convicted. Fox News' Sarah Rumpf-Whitten contributed to this report.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ef7cad059ccda1fcc2fe19 Republicans rush to green light White House ballroom following third Trump assassination scare te 2026-04-27T15:11:41.328Z Republicans rush to green light White House ballroom following third Trump assassination scare Republicans are rushing to give President Donald Trump's controversial ballroom addition to the White House the congressional go-ahead after a shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner. Lawmakers argue that Trump’s desire to build a ballroom at the White House — which ground to a halt after being snarled in litigation — would provide an ideal secure venue for future events following the shooting at the Washington Hilton on Saturday. Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Mont., announced he would try to fast-track a bill to give congressional approval for construction of the ballroom in the Senate when the upper chamber returns this week. HOUSE GOP PUSHES BACK ON SENATE'S 'SKINNY' PLAN TO END RECORD-BREAKING DHS SHUTDOWN He argued that "a president of any party should be able to host events in a secure area without attendees worrying about their safety." "It is an embarrassment to the strongest nation on Earth that we cannot host gatherings in our nation’s capital, including ones attended by our president, without the threat of violence and attempted assassinations," Sheehy said in a statement. It’s an about-face on Capitol Hill for Republicans, who, since Trump first announced his plans to build a ballroom last year, have largely kept their distance from the issue. And it's one spurred by the shooting on Saturday night, where Cole Allen was subdued by federal law enforcement after exchanging gunfire near the ballroom of the Washington Hilton, where Trump and his Cabinet, along with hundreds of guests, were seated for the annual White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. But a lawsuit and an ensuing court-ordered injunction against the 90,000-square-foot, $400 million gilded behemoth — which was being built where the White House’s East Wing once stood — have thrown the future of the project into question. SENATE GOP RAMS THROUGH BLUEPRINT TO BANKROLL ICE, BORDER PATROL THROUGH END OF TRUMP ERA A federal court ordered in March that the construction end without congressional approval. That ruling was later appealed to allow construction to continue below ground for what Trump previously described as a "shed" for a military complex. After the shooting, Trump pushed for construction to continue. "We need the ballroom," Trump said at a news conference Saturday night. "That’s why Secret Service, that’s why the military are demanding it." TRUMP ADMIN URGES RESTORING BALLROOM CONSTRUCTION IN EMERGENCY MOTION: 'TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE' Now Republicans are getting involved. Reps. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., and Randy Fine, R-Fla., like Sheehy, are planning to introduce legislation that would give congressional approval to the project. "I don’t believe congressional approval is required for the project, but if it’ll keep activist judges on the sideline, so be it," Boebert said on X. The latest legislative push in the lower chamber comes during a week full of deadlines and must-do items for House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La. Among them is consideration of the Senate’s budget blueprint to fund immigration operations for the remainder of Trump’s presidency. At least one lawmaker, Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, wants any consideration of the blueprint to "provide for construction of a secure ballroom on White House grounds." For now, it’s not entirely a partisan issue. Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., one of the few Democrats at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, argued that rancor between the aisles should be put aside to support ballroom construction. "That venue wasn’t built to accommodate an event with the line of succession for the U.S. government," Fetterman said on X. "After witnessing last night, drop the TDS and build the White House ballroom for events exactly like these."

"We begin tonight with a prayer for our men and women in service overseas, we pray for their safe return," Springsteen told the crowd during the E Street Band’s show at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, on Sunday night, per videos circulating online. "We also send out a prayer of thanks that our president, nor anyone in the administration, nor anyone attending, was injured at last night’s incident at the [White House] press correspondents’ dinner." "We can disagree. We can be critical of those in power, and we can peacefully fight for our beliefs. But there is no place in any way, shape, or form for political violence of any kind in our beloved United States," he added.  BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN TRASHED BY HOME STATE PAPER OVER EXPENSIVE ANTI-TRUMP CONCERTS A representative for Springsteen did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. Chaos broke out at the event Saturday night when suspected gunman Cole Allen reportedly stormed a security checkpoint and opened fire at the WHCA Dinner. DOJ CITES WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS DINNER SHOOTING IN PUSH TO DROP LAWSUIT AGAINST BALLROOM President Trump was immediately rushed from the ballroom at the Washington Hilton Hotel. Video from inside the event showed attendees taking cover under tables as panic spread through the room. Trump hailed law enforcement during his press conference from the White House late on Saturday, saying the situation was "incredibly acted upon by Secret Service and law enforcement." CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER "[The suspect] had a long way to go. That was really a first line of defense. And they got him. And they really, you know, they acted incredibly," he continued. The suspected gunman, identified as 31-year-old Cole Allen, of California, was taken into custody. Authorities are continuing to investigate a motive for the shooting and build a case ahead of an expected arraignment on Monday. LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS Springsteen, who kicked off his "Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour" in March, has been vocal about his disdain for Trump and his administration over the years. The tour follows the release of his latest song, "Streets of Minneapolis," a protest tune that criticizes Trump and his administration's deployment of thousands of federal agents to crack down on illegal immigration in Minnesota. Throughout his recent shows, the rock legend has described the administration as "corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless and treasonous" and has dubbed Trump as a "president who can't handle the truth." During his recent show in Newark, New Jersey, Springsteen called on his audience to join in "choosing hope over fear, democracy over authoritarianism, the rule of law over lawlessness, ethics over unbridled corruption, resistance over complacency, truth over lies, unity over division and peace over war."

Jim Jordan said Sunday that the latest apparent assassination attempt targeting President Donald Trump reflected a dangerous political climate fueled by what he described as left-wing rhetoric. The Ohio Republican praised Trump's poise on "Sunday Morning Futures," saying "very few human beings" could "handle things the way that he has," notwithstanding "the last 10 years [of] all the attacks by the left and the weaponization of government." He advocated for "robust debate" but argued people on the political left were standing in the way. TRUMP PRAISED FOR 'STRENGTH' IN MOMENTS AFTER SHOTS RANG OUT AS EYEWITNESS DESCRIBES 'TERRIBLE' SCENE "We have this amazing thing, the First Amendment, and we want real and robust debate happening... some of this language is just ridiculous that we see, particularly from the left." He said deliberation between conservatives and liberals amounted to "common sense versus crazy," and argued that the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner Saturday night made the case for a secure ballroom on White House grounds. CORRESPONDENTS’ DINNER ENTERTAINER OZ PEARLMAN RECALLS ‘SURREAL’ MOMENTS DURING AND AFTER SHOOTING Trump demolished the East Wing of the White House to put in a new ballroom, but the project has been slowed by legal challenges over whether the administration bypassed required approvals, with courts weighing the scope of presidential authority as the case moves forward. Jordan blamed the left, pointing out that the Washington Hilton hotel where the shooting took place was also where former President Ronald Reagan was shot. "The left takes the crazy position and even took the president to court, for goodness' sake. Thank goodness the appellate judge has said, 'No, the president can proceed, and he can continue to build this facility there on the White House grounds.'" The WHCA Dinner was interrupted Saturday when an armed attacker, identified by authorities as 31-year-old Cole Allen, charged past a security checkpoint armed with guns and knives. He shot one Secret Service agent, who was protected by a ballistic vest, before he was apprehended. Fox News Digital's Amanda Macias contributed to this report. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ef7c72059ccda1fcc2fdf5 CBS report marvels at once-chaotic southern border crossing has gone quiet under Trump crackdown te 2026-04-27T15:10:42.258Z CBS report marvels at once-chaotic southern border crossing has gone quiet under Trump crackdown A report released last week showed that a formerly major illegal crossing site — Eagle Pass, Texas — has now gotten much quieter under President Donald Trump's administration. According to CBS chief correspondent Matt Gutman, the border has undergone a massive shift amid Trump's second term in office. After "illegal crossings skyrocketed during the Biden administration," Gutman noted they have now "fallen to a 55-year low." Eagle Pass, Texas, was one of the illegal immigration hotspots that was a frequent topic of news during President Joe Biden's administration. TRUMP SUGGESTS BORDER CRACKDOWN IS 'SAVING A LOT OF MONEY' AFTER STARK DROP FROM BIDEN ERA CROSSINGS "Miles and miles of water divide the U.S. and Mexico here in Texas. While on the Rio Grande with Border Patrol, we did not see a single migrant," CBS reporter Camilo Montoya-Galvez said. "Less than three years ago, this section of the border was the epicenter of a dire humanitarian crisis." "The last time we were here at the U.S.-Mexico border near Eagle Pass, we saw hundreds of people, including families with young children, cross the Rio Grande to enter the country illegally," he said. "Now the border is extremely quiet." He contrasted how there had been thousands of people crossing per day in that particular section of the border alone, to how a local Border Patrol official claimed there are now around 32 apprehensions a day. BORDER ENCOUNTERS DROP SHARPLY AS TRUMP LAUNCHES CRACKDOWN ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION Chief Patrol Agent Anthony Good of the Del Rio sector said the reason for this change is that Trump shut down the asylum system that previously was being abused by migrants. "During the previous administration, there was a lot of what we just called ‘releases’ but they were paroled into the country, quickly, and in mass numbers," he said. "Now people are being detained or deported?" Montoya-Galvez asked. "Exactly," Good replied. "They’re being detained or deported." The local fire department chief noted that he had never seen the border as quiet as it is now. He told CBS that illegal immigrants are afraid of entering now, because they have gotten the message that "if you come here, you’re going to get deported." The fire chief argued that immigration law should indeed be enforced, but that people should be treated with dignity. The fire chief also compared how, in previous years, one might expect to hear of three to six drownings per day as people crossed illegally, whereas "now we’re looking at, maybe, one drowning every three months." CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE The CBS reporter also spoke to a rancher who recalled in previous years how countless migrants trespassed on his land, littering it with their belongings, and was asked about the backlash Trump has received for enforcing immigration law. "Some would say the reason very few people are crossing the river behind us is because the Trump administration has been too harsh on immigration," Montoya-Galvez said. "What do you think about that?" "If harsh is doing things legally, then harsh it is, and harsh it must be," the rancher said. NewsBusters editor Curtis Houck, a conservative media watchdog who flagged the segment, praised the CBS report as balanced and accurate. "Presenting both sides and including relevant visuals? It wasn’t that difficult and wholly in line with reporting based in reality," he wrote.

A handful of players, including World No. 4 Iga Swiatek, chose to pull out of the tournament while battling serious fatigue and illness related to what appears to be a fast-spreading stomach virus. Swiatek retired during the third set of her match against Ann Li in the round of 32 despite winning the second set in the match 6-2.

However, a spokesperson for the tournament told The Athletic that food was not the issue and that the illness was a "gastroenteritis virus."

His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America," Melania Trump posted on X. "People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. Enough is enough," the first lady continued. "It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community." Kimmel had mocked President Donald Trump and his wife in a White House Correspondents' Dinner parody last week, calling her "an expectant widow" and joking about her marriage. "Our first lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow," Kimmel said in his parody of the event on Thursday. The joke didn't age well after authorities say 31-year-old Cole Allen of Torrance, Calif., rushed a Secret Service checkpoint at the Washington Hilton on Saturday, armed with multiple weapons, and opened fire, striking a Secret Service agent. The officer survived and Allen was taken into custody.  The shooting led to the evacuation of the Trumps and Cabinet members in attendance, and the dinner was canceled and is expected to be rescheduled. ABC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.  This is a developing story, more to come… Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ef7a1a059ccda1fcc2fd80 Ayo Dosunmu's 43-point explosion may not repeat as Timberwolves try to finish Nuggets in Game 5 te 2026-04-27T15:00:42.897Z Ayo Dosunmu's 43-point explosion may not repeat as Timberwolves try to finish Nuggets in Game 5 It was a fairly solid weekend of NBA Playoff picks for the readers. We were able to get an easy win on the Magic team total over in Game 3 of their series against Detroit (Game 4 takes place tonight). We were also able to cash a ticket on the Thunder covering a fairly large number on the road against the Suns. Yesterday, the Cavs were in control until they did the typical Cleveland thing and blew the game late. It is almost as if every Cleveland sports team has decided to make the playoffs as unreliable as possible. Today, we go for a victory with the Timberwolves and the Nuggets taking each other on in Game 5. This has been a bit of a chippy series, but it almost feels like that is precisely what the Timberwolves wanted. Minnesota has been the team calling out Denver about its defense, and they are happily accepting any sort of confrontation. Any team with Anthony Edwards on it will have some swagger, but this almost feels like the T-Wolves are being disrespectful to this challenger. I suppose it is working, considering the team is up 3-1 in the series. However, there is a major cause for concern. The Timberwolves took a big hit last game, and I'm not talking about the shoving between Jaden McDaniels and Nikola Jokic. Their sharpshooter, Dante DiVincenzo, who was cited as a major reason they won Game 2, was lost for the season (and probably next season) after he tore his Achilles. Significantly worse, the Timberwolves also lost Edwards for a few weeks after he hyperextended his knee. If Minnesota is going to get one more game in this series to close it out, they need to do it without Edwards. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM The Nuggets do not look like the one-time champion that you'd expect. They are proving the Timberwolves correct in the assessment that their defense is trash. In three consecutive games, they've allowed over 112 points to their opponent, which is about the season average. They also only scored 96 points in both of the games in Minnesota. Rudy Gobert, the much-maligned center for the Timberwolves, is doing a great job of limiting Jokic's success. We will have to see if Jokic can figure out Rudy's defensive efforts. Nuggets vs Timberwolves Game 3 pick hinges on Jaden McDaniels calling out Denver's entire defense Aaron Gordon has returned for Denver, but it does seem like he is still struggling. He only played 23 minutes and put in just nine points on 11 field goal attempts. Overall, the team shot just 21% from deep in this game. I have to imagine that improves. The team shot almost 40% from deep in the regular season, but they are shooting 28% overall in the series. That's still better than what they showed in Game 4. A lot of the story in Game 4 was about the ending. It is a stupid narrative, but it pops up every now and then. The game was essentially over -- the Timberwolves had the ball with seconds remaining, tossed it down court, and rather than dribble it out, McDaniels went in for a layup. Jokic took exception to it, and there was some minor shoving. No one ended up getting suspended, but there were some fines. Missed in that was the impressive game from Ayo Dosunmu of the Timberwolves. He was acquired at the trade deadline from the Bulls and gave Minnesota a career performance. Dosunmo scored 43 points in that game, but I wouldn't expect that success to continue. He is listed at 19.5 points tonight, and I like the under. He is still a bit of a role player, and even though he will have an increased role, there won't be home court or an element of surprise. Julius Randle will need to take over the bulk of the scoring duties, and I think he is more likely to go over 21.5 points. I'll play both of these options tonight as Denver looks to extend the series.

Anyway, before we dive into the Xs and Os of the whole thing, let's go ahead and check in on the van that escorted the fired coaches out of the hotel: For those who ain't exactly hitting on all 20/20 cylinders anymore, that little sign at the bottom says: COACHES4HIRE LLC. Amazing. I mean, truly amazing. What a time to be alive. What a moment. What an unbelievably perfect way to end this chapter. Sending out the scapegoats in a van advertising unemployed coaches is next-level stuff. I'd like to give credit to Breslow for being savvy enough to do this intentionally, but ... I can't stand Craig Breslow. I really can't stand John Henry. Fire Alex Cora all you want, but — as one former player told WEEI's Rob Bradford this week — that's like "sh----g your pants and changing your shirt." First off, that's a great quote. It's perfect. Secondly, he's right. Alex Cora was clearly unhappy towards the end. He didn't hide it well. I don't blame him. The Red Sox made a surprise playoff run last year, and then completely folded over the offseason. Craig Breslow whiffed on everyone. Everyone. Alex Bregman. Pete Alonso. Kyle Schwarber. The Sox needed one bat. They instead lost one, and got none. Breslow then decided to hang on to all five of his outfielders, instead of trading one or two to address another position of need. Now, the team is stuck with a predictable logjam in the outfield, and in the lineup. He replaced Alex Bregman — the team's unquestioned leader last season — with Caleb Durbin at third base. That has been an unmitigated disaster. He traded Kyle Harrison — the top player the team got back in the Rafael Devers trade — to Milwaukee. Harrison is currently 2-1 this season with a 2.28 ERA. That would be, by far, the lowest ERA of any starter in the Red Sox rotation right now. Do I need to keep going? I mean, my goodness. Again, blame Cora all you want. That's fine. When a team starts 10-17, people should be held accountable. Cora certainly isn't the first coach to get fired in Boston, and he won't be the last. Other than that? This is simply slapping lipstick on a pig and, once again, taking no accountability. It's disgusting. It's pathetic. It was also predictable. And don't even get me started on John Henry. At least Breslow stuck around in Baltimore and talked to the media the next day. It was all BS, but he at least got up there. Henry hasn't spoken to the media since the team traded Mookie Betts ... in 2020! It's been six years since the Red Sox owner spoke to the media. That's unfathomable, especially in a market like Boston. What a disgrace. What a clown show. But, also, what a funny ad on that van. At least we have that.

The president told CBS' Norah O'Donnell that he was going to hit the press "really hard, with humor" in his speech at the dinner, which didn't occur due to the shooting, as the event was set to be rescheduled. He said he still wanted to deliver the speech, but he couldn't due to security concerns, and said he would have had to just get up there and say, "I love you all." "There was love in the room. It was amazing. There was love in the room," Trump told O'Donnell. "People came together. Democrats that truly can't stand me were saying, 'Sir, could I just shake your hand?' I mean, I'm, I'm leaving, and I'm seeing people, you know, high-level people, and they're saying, 'Sir, great job,'" Trump said. WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER SHOOTING SHARPENS FOCUS ON TRUMP’S BALLROOM CONSTRUCTION PROPOSAL Trump also told O'Donnell that they probably had the clip somewhere of the Democrat who asked for a hug. "One of 'em said, 'Could I hug you?'" Trump said, with a laugh. "A big politician on the other side. There was love. It just all came together. It was very amazing to see. It was a very beautiful thing, at a non-beautiful moment, really. But it was a very beautiful thing that was happening." An assailant rushed a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton Saturday night, shooting a Secret Service officer, who was hit in his bulletproof vest and survived. The suspect, Cole Allen, was apprehended and has been charged with multiple felonies. The gunfire led to Trump and the Cabinet at the dinner being evacuated, and the dinner will be rescheduled. JOE ROGAN TELLS TRUMP THE 'WILD S---' HE SAYS FUELED HIS POPULARITY DURING THREE HOUR PODCAST INTERVIEW During a press conference that followed the shooting, Trump gave rare praise to the press. "This was an event dedicated to freedom of speech that was supposed to bring together members of both parties with members of the press, and in a certain way it did, because the fact that they just unified," Trump said at the briefing on Saturday. "I saw a room that was just totally unified. It was, in one way, very beautiful, a very beautiful thing to see."

He reiterated his intention to have the event rescheduled within the next month. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ef6e88059ccda1fcc2fbfd Ron DeSantis unveils new Florida congressional map that would give the GOP an extra four seats te 2026-04-27T14:11:20.588Z Ron DeSantis unveils new Florida congressional map that would give the GOP an extra four seats FIRST ON FOX: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis revealed the new redistricted congressional map for the state, which shows the GOP gaining an extra four seats. Should the state legislature, which holds a Republican majority in both the state House and Senate, approve the redrawing, it would then return to DeSantis to be signed into law and would apply to the 2026 midterms. "Florida got shortchanged in the 2020 Census, and we’ve been fighting for fair representation ever since," DeSantis told Fox News Digital. "Our population has since grown dramatically, and we have moved from a Democrat majority to a 1.5 million Republican advantage. Drawing maps based on race, which is reflected in our current congressional districts, is unconstitutional and should be prohibited." "Our new map for 2026 makes good on my promise to conduct mid-decade redistricting, and it more fairly represents the makeup of Florida today," DeSantis added. REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR SIGNS INTO LAW TRUMP-BACKED CONGRESSIONAL REDISTRICTING MAP Currently, the Florida delegation to Congress is represented by 20 Republicans and seven Democrats, with an eighth Democratic seat vacant following the resignation of former Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick. The redistricted map proposal comes after Virginia recently approved a constitutional amendment that would allow the state to redraw Virginia’s congressional districts and flip four GOP seats to the Democratic side.  Virginia’s new proposed map was praised by Democrats, including Gov. Abigail Spanberger and former President Barack Obama. GOP GOVERNOR NOMINEE PUSHES REDISTRICTING TO OUST STATE'S LONE HOUSE DEM "Virginia voters have spoken, and tonight they approved a temporary measure to push back against a President who claims he is ‘entitled’ to more Republican seats in Congress," Spanberger said in a statement. "Virginians watched other states go along with those demands without voter input — and we refused to let that stand. We responded the right way: at the ballot box." 51.5 percent of Virginia voters approved the amendment last week, and projections show 10 seats that likely will be won by Democrats, and just one seat that likely will be won by a Republican to represent the entirety of Virginia in Congress.  Currently, Democrats hold six seats in Virginia while Republicans hold five. NEW YORK, CALIFORNIA PROJECTED TO LOSE 6 HOUSE SEATS TO RED STATES AFTER 2030, CENSUS ANALYSIS SHOWS A source familiar with DeSantis’s new map told Fox News Digital that the redistricting proposal isn’t as closely tied to Virginia’s recent sway toward Democratic seats, and that the decision is more related to the population increases. "The Governor has been planning this long before what took place in Virginia, and continues to be adamant that Floridians deserve fair representation that accurately reflects the state’s changing population and demographics," the source told Fox News Digital.  California implemented a similar strategy with the implementation of Prop 50, which temporarily allows the far-left Democratic assembly in the state to draw new congressional maps. MARYLAND HOUSE APPROVES NEW CONGRESSIONAL MAP AS SENATE LEADERS WARN OF RISKS The new California legislature-drawn maps show Democratic-leaning seats favoring four that were previously held by Republicans, with projections showing Democrats will hold as many as 48 seats in Congress while the GOP could have as few as four. DeSantis faced opposition from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-New York, who is the most likely pick to serve as Speaker of the House should Democrats take back the majority in November. "Our message to Florida Republicans is F around and find out," Jeffries said. "If they go down the road of a DeSantis dummymander, the Florida Republicans are gonna find themselves in the same situation as Texas Republicans, who are on the run right now. VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS CHARGE 'POWER GRAB' AS DEMOCRAT WHO BACKED REDISTRICTING RUNS FOR CONGRESS "Under no circumstances are Texas Republicans picking up five seats. They'll be fortunate if they get two or three. While in California, we are going to get all five," Jeffries added. During a news conference in Florida, DeSantis responded to Jeffries’ comments with an invitation to come down to the Sunshine State and campaign for Democratic congressional candidates, implying the state’s Republican majority would hold strong in the midterm. "Please. Be my guest. I will pay for you to come down to Florida to campaign," DeSantis said. "I’ll put you up in the Florida governor’s mansion. We will take you fishing." REPUBLICANS APPEAL JUDGE'S DECISION REJECTING NEW YORK CITY GOP DISTRICT LINES "We’ll do all this stuff. There’s nothing that could be better for Republicans in Florida than to see Jeffries, Hakeem Jeffries, everywhere around this state," DeSantis added. The redistricting fight has been bolstered across red and blue states as both parties attempt to take control of a Congress led by very slim majorities. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-Louisiana, encouraged Florida’s redistricting attempt, saying that the state "has the right to do so.  "Florida has the right and the intention to do it. And my view is that they should," Johnson said last week. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ef6e74059ccda1fcc2fbf4 Watchdog report exposes teachers' union 'political machine' funneling more than $1 billion to liberal causes te 2026-04-27T14:11:00.819Z Watchdog report exposes teachers' union 'political machine' funneling more than $1 billion to liberal causes FIRST ON FOX: A new pair of reports is shedding fresh light on how teachers' unions across the country have quietly poured more than $1 billion into political causes over the past decade, with a top education watchdog warning the spending reflects a growing focus on activism rather than classroom priorities. According to research from Defending Education, national teachers unions alone have directed roughly $669 million toward left-wing political groups, advocacy organizations and campaigns since 2015. When state and local affiliates are included, that figure balloons to more than $1 billion in total political spending. The reports track spending from the two largest unions, the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), as well as their state-level affiliates, using federal filings and campaign finance records. "These entities are a political machine," Rhyen Staley, research director at Defending Education, told Fox News Digital. NATION’S 2 LARGEST TEACHERS UNIONS FUNNELED NEARLY $50M TO LEFT-WING GROUPS, WATCHDOG REPORT SAYS "Show me your budget and I will show you what you value; and what the teachers unions value is political power and advancing a leftwing, social justice agenda. Parents, families, and communities have little to no counter to the influence that teachers union dollars have on state and local campaigns. Gone are the days of unions just advocating for higher wages, better working conditions, and good health insurance; they are a political machine focused on fomenting a ‘political revolution.’" The Defending Education report found the unions’ political spending stretches across a vast network of progressive organizations and political committees, including the State Engagement Fund, which received more than $60 million, and For Our Future Action Fund and its affiliates, which pulled in more than $40 million. Unions also directed tens of millions toward major Democratic-aligned political committees, including the Senate Majority PAC and House Majority PAC. MOST RADICAL COURSES, CURRICULUM THAT RECEIVED FEDERAL FUNDING IN 2025 In addition, the report found more than $85 million went directly to Democratic Party entities at the federal, state and local levels, not including individual candidate contributions. At the same time, unions funded a wide range of progressive causes, from climate initiatives to ballot campaigns opposing school choice, often routing money through nonprofit groups and political action committees. Some of the progressive groups in the report who took money from the nation’s most powerful teachers’ unions include: Color of Change + PAC, Indivisible, National Center for Transgender Equality, Planned Parenthood, Sixteen Thirty Fund, New Venture Fund and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. Defending Education President Nicole Neily argued the findings challenge long-standing assumptions about how union dues are used. "It's time to dispense with the myth that unions care whatsoever about teachers' best interests. Educators are victims of a bait-and-switch: instead of their dues going to advocate for increased pay or improved working environments, they're being spent advancing a hard-left political agenda, underwriting causes such as climate change, gender activism, and abortion (as well as supporting progressive politicians at all levels)," Neily said. "Given the outsized role that unions have played in the education system over the past fifty years, greater transparency on union spending is absolutely critical so that policymakers and teachers themselves can make informed decisions about the role that these entities should — or should not — play in the future." The spending revelations come as unions and allied organizations ramp up mobilization efforts ahead of May Day protests, which critics have previously warned could serve as a major political organizing push. As Fox News Digital previously reported, teachers unions have played a role in preparing for large-scale demonstrations, with activists framing the events as part of a broader "political revolution." "It’s very clear that teachers unions seek to destroy our country by turning our students against it," Teacher Freedom Alliance CEO Ryan Walters told Fox News Digital earlier this year. Fox News Digital reached out to the NEA and AFT for comment.

"Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy," Obama posted on X on Sunday evening, roughly 24 hours after President Trump and top officials were whisked out of the Washington Hilton Hotel when shots rang out from a man who stormed security during the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. "It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that the U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them — and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay." Obama’s post has been viewed nearly 52 million times and sparked outrage from conservatives, who pointed to a manifesto left by the shooter and other details of the attack that they say show the motive was to harm Trump and his Cabinet. WHCD SHOOTING SUSPECT PLANNED TO TARGET TRUMP OFFICIALS, MANIFESTO REVEALS "Let’s not pretend to be this clueless about motive, @BarackObama," EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin posted on X. "The attempted assassin put out an anti-Trump manifesto about wanting to kill Trump Admin officials, minutes before trying to storm a ballroom filled with the President, VP, Cabinet, and many others from his Admin." Former FBI Co-Deputy Director Dan Bongino simply replied, "Are you kidding?" "There is a manifesto, and this is why you are the problem," Rep. Abe Hamadeh, R-Ariz., posted on X.  "Oh come on," reacted former Department of Homeland Security Press Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. "There is no ambiguity. It was a politically motivated attack driven by anti-Trump and anti-Christian bile. It’s wrong to downplay or obscure the obvious motive." Journalist Emma-Jo Morris posted on X, "It’s crazy how irrelevant Obama has become. Just reduced to posting bluesky-tier cope and meaningless cliches, ‘incumbent upon all’ etc." WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER SUSPECT CHECKED INTO HILTON HOTEL ONE DAY BEFORE THE SHOOTING: SOURCES The Republican National Committee commented, "You are so SICK! Law enforcement officers confirmed this radicalized Leftist was targeting President Trump and his administration last night. Why are you lying?" Popular independent journalist Nick Shirley also joined in, urging Obama to "call it out for what it is." "Wdym by 'although'? It’s obvious what the motive was," wrote Shirley. Heritage Foundation media fellow Tim Young took a similar line, telling the former president, "Don’t pretend you don’t know." "The details were out early this morning and it was clear he was a leftist trying to harm as many people in Trump’s cabinet as possible," Young wrote. WHO IS COLE ALLEN? CALIFORNIA MAN NAMED AS SUSPECT IN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER SHOOTING "Agreed on condemning political violence, but you know what his motives were," Charlie Kirk Show Executive Producer Andrew Kolvet posted on X. "This is a lie—the gunman's manifesto was published six hours ago," political commentator Batya Ungar-Sargon posted on X. "But it's also a confession—an admission that the motive is damning to President Obama's side, hence the need to lie." Authorities have identified Cole Allen, a 31-year-old California resident, as the suspect who allegedly opened fire during the annual event attended by Trump and senior administration officials. Federal law enforcement officials confirmed to Fox News Digital that after Allen’s arrest, he said he intended to target Trump administration officials and had prepared a manifesto detailing his intent, while also sharing anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric on social media. U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro told reporters at a news conference after the shooting that Allen has been charged with two counts of using a firearm during a crime of violence and assault on a federal officer using a dangerous weapon. Pirro also said more charges are expected.  Fox News Digital reached out to Obama’s office for comment.

It is the latest sign of Mamdani's growing clash with Council leadership, deepening an early power struggle with Council Speaker Julie Menin over policing, public safety and free speech. "The problem is how widely this bill defines an educational institution and the constitutional concerns it raises regarding New Yorkers’ fundamental right to protest," Mamdani wrote in a statement. "As the bill is written, everywhere from universities to museums to teaching hospitals could face restrictions." "This could impact workers protesting ICE, or college students demanding their school divest from fossil fuels or demonstrating in support of Palestinian rights," he continued. ISRAELI COMEDIAN DROPS OUT OF PASSOVER EVENT AFTER LEARNING OF MAMDANI'S ATTENDANCE "Int. 175-B is not a narrow public safety measure; it is a piece of legislation that has alarmed much of the labor movement, reproductive rights groups, and immigration advocates, among others, across this City. Nearly a dozen unions have raised the alarm about its impact on their ability to organize," the mayor added. Menin is going to work to whip up votes to override Mamdani on the bill, which finished just four votes shy of being veto-proof, passing last month 30-19. "Ensuring students can enter and exit their schools without fear of harassment or intimidation should not be controversial," Menin wrote in a statement. "This bill simply requires the NYPD to clearly outline how it will ensure safe access when there are threats of obstruction or physical injury, while fully protecting First Amendment rights." HOUSE REPUBLICANS DEMAND TRUMP ADMIN DENY MAMDANI FEDERAL SECURITY CLEARANCE The bill, sponsored by Councilman Eric Dinowitz, would have required police to submit a protest-response plan to the mayor and speaker and post it online. It also would have required the police commissioner to provide a public point of contact for any effort to manage demonstrations near educational sites. Dinowitz pushed back on claims that the bill threatened free speech. "Should students be harassed on the way to school? I think the answer is no," he told The New York Times. MAMDANI RIPPED BY RIVALS FOR UNPOPULAR STANCE DURING FIERY NYC DEBATE: 'YOU WON'T SUPPORT ISRAEL' Opponents on the left said the measure would expand protest policing and chill protected speech. The fight also exposed one of the biggest political fault lines at City Hall: how to respond to protests tied to Israel and the war in Gaza. The issue gained momentum after a heated protest outside a Manhattan synagogue last fall, where some demonstrators shouted, "Death to the IDF," and, "Globalize the intifada." "Sending the message to New Yorkers that we have something to worry about with regard to protest by or near schools, libraries, teaching hospitals is absolutely the wrong message for these times, especially when the Trump regime is coming at protest with a sledgehammer," New York Civil Liberties Union Executive Director Donna Lieberman told the Times. Jewish groups, including UJA-Federation of New York, blasted the veto, rebuking the "profound failure of City Hall to demonstrate to all New Yorkers that our safety is a priority." "At a time when Jewish and other communities across our city are facing heightened threats, this legislation represented a crucial step toward ensuring that every school and community institution can be better protected," the group wrote in a statement. Mamdani and Menin — the city's first Jewish speaker — had shown signs this week of trying to cool things down, including a Thursday dinner to discuss the pending veto and other issues, the Times reported. Friday’s decision suggested the détente may not last.

Paul Strauss hide under tables after an incident at the annual White House Correspondents Association Dinner April 25, 2026 in Washington, D.C. (Photo by Nathan Howard/Getty Images) The alleged shooter at Saturday night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, D.C., wrote a “manifesto” ahead of his planned attack, President Donald Trump said in a Sunday morning interview on Fox News and later in the day on the CBS show “60 Minutes.” Meanwhile, Trump and MAGA allies online said security flaws exposed by the incident prove the need for a new secure ballroom at the White House. Trump, first lady Melania Trump and Cabinet officials were safely evacuated from the Washington Hilton after shots were fired by a suspect said by officials to be armed with a shotgun, handgun and multiple knives. Multiple news reports Sunday identified the suspected shooter as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California, and The Associated Press said he is a tutor and amateur video game developer. The White House has not released that information publicly and spokespeople did not return a message Sunday. Fox News Host Jacqui Heinrich used the name in her interview with Trump, who did not use it himself but did not correct Heinrich when she named Allen and called the manifesto “anti-Trump” and “anti-Christian.” Trump said the document revealed a “hatred” for Christianity. “The guy is a sick guy,” he said. “When you read his manifesto, he hates Christians. That’s one thing for sure: He hates Christians.” The New York Post published what the outlet said was the full text of the manifesto, which sought to reconcile the attack with Christian teachings, rather than mock the religion itself. The document was also referenced in the CBS interview, with host Norah O’Donnell saying it characterized members of the administration as targets. The document lays out a series of objections to a planned attack and the writer’s rebuttals. “Objection 1: As a Christian, you should turn the other cheek,” Allen wrote, according to the New York Post.  “Rebuttal: Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed,” he continued. “I’m not the person raped in a detention camp. I’m not the fisherman executed without trial. I’m not a schoolkid blown up or a child starved or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration. Turning the other cheek when *someone else* is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor’s crimes.” Noting this was what he characterized as the third assassination attempt of Trump in less than two years, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson wrote on social media that a Trump trademark is a calm demeanor under pressure. “I’ve spent a lot of time with him over the past several years, and he is at his strongest in times of crisis and turmoil,” the Louisiana Republican wrote. “It is a primary reason why his time in office is so historic. Adding to that history, he has now survived a third assassination attempt.” Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday on news shows that the gunman appeared to be targeting administration officials but did not say it was specifically Trump. The White House put out a statement with the headline, “President Trump Stands Fearless After Third Assassination Attempt.” Arraignment Monday Blanche also said he expects the suspect to be arraigned in D.C. federal court on Monday. Jeanine Pirro, the top federal prosecutor for the District of Columbia, said Saturday night the man would be charged with using a firearm during a crime of violence and assault on a federal officer using a dangerous weapon.  The suspect traveled from Los Angeles to Washington by train, switching trains in Chicago, Blanche said in a Sunday morning interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press with Kristen Welker.” That mode of travel would have allowed him to transport the weapons that officials said were found on him across the country without facing a security check, unlike an air flight. Blanche said he did not think any additional laws to increase security on trains were needed. The shooter was staying at the Washington Hilton, the longtime site for the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner, for days before the attack, Blanche said.  At the time of the interview, Allen was not cooperating with the investigation, Blanche said. Asked if there was any foreign connection to the planned attack, Blanche said many details of the shooter’s plans were yet unknown. “We’re still looking into motivation, and that’s something that hopefully we’ll learn over the next couple of days,” Blanche said. “We do believe, based upon just a very preliminary start to understanding what happened, that he was targeting members of the administration. We don’t have specifics beyond that.” Blanche added that the law enforcement agent injured by a shot to his bulletproof vest Saturday night was doing well and had received a call from Trump. “The president spoke with him last night,” Blanche said. “He was in great spirits. He apparently didn’t really even want to go to the hospital, although he was certainly injured.” Ballroom pitched as security fix Trump, a host of right-wing influencers and at least one Democratic member of Congress called for the construction of a new ballroom for the White House in response to the incident. “What happened last night is exactly the reason that our great Military, Secret Service, Law Enforcement and, for different reasons, every President for the last 150 years, have been DEMANDING that a large, safe, and secure Ballroom be built ON THE GROUNDS OF THE WHITE HOUSE,” Trump wrote on his social media site, Truth Social, Sunday morning.  “This event would never have happened with the Militarily Top Secret Ballroom currently under construction at the White House,” he continued. “It cannot be built fast enough! While beautiful, it has every highest level security feature there is plus, there are no rooms sitting on top for unsecured people to pour in, and is inside the gates of the most secure building in the World.” The initial White House announcement of the ballroom, in July, emphasized space needs for large events and gave only a passing mention to security updates, saying the Secret Service would provide them. U.S. Sen. John Fetterman, a Pennsylvania Democrat who is among the senators who most commonly cross party lines, posted on social media Sunday that a new ballroom was a necessity, calling on opponents to drop their “TDS,” or Trump Derangement Syndrome, a name to describe people who oppose anything Trump does. “That venue wasn’t built to accommodate an event with the line of succession for the U.S. government,” Fetterman wrote. “After witnessing last night, drop the TDS and build the White House ballroom for events exactly like these.” Montana Republican U.S. Sen. Tim Sheehy said he would propose a bill to expedite the construction of the White House ballroom. “This week I will introduce and seek unanimous consent for legislation providing express approval for construction of a Presidential ballroom,” he wrote on X. “It is an embarrassment to the strongest nation on earth that we cannot host gatherings in our nation’s capital, including ones attended by our President, without the threat of violence and attempted assassinations.” And Rep. Chip Roy, a Texas Republican who is a leader among the caucus’ far-right members, said ballroom construction should be included in an upcoming funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security. “Any consideration of DHS reconciliation instructions this week & beyond should provide for construction of a secure ballroom on White House grounds – in addition to other concerns,” he wrote.

Cole Allen, 31, is accused of storming a Secret Service checkpoint while armed and intending to enter the hotel ballroom to kill Trump and administration officials. The alleged assassin was armed with a shotgun, handgun and several knives and opened fire on federal agents before being subdued. A Secret Service officer wearing a ballistic vest, whom Allen allegedly shot at close range, was released from the hospital Sunday. The gunman allegedly prepared a manifesto before the attack that included anti-Trump and anti-Christian messages, several law enforcement officials told Fox News. He is expected to be arraigned on several federal gun charges Monday. After the shooting, Republicans called on Democratic lawmakers to refrain from using warlike rhetoric to criticize Trump that could incite violence. The GOP made similar pleas in 2024 after two attempts on the president’s life in Butler, Pa., and at his golf club in Doral, Fla. But top Democrats have argued that Republicans, too, have used plenty of inflammatory statements to describe their opponents. "America will not be lectured about civility by far-right extremists in Congress," Jeffries wrote on social media Sunday, adding that "now is a time to unify." A White House aide notably used the same "maximum warfare" language toward Democrats during an interview with The New York Times last year. When asked to describe the White House's midterms strategy, the anonymous staffer said, "Maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time." EXPERT WARNS DEMOCRATS RISK BACKLASH OVER FAILURE TO CONDEMN VIOLENT RHETORIC IN THEIR RANKS Fox News Digital reached out to Jeffries' office before publication. Jeffries’ defiant social media post came after he unequivocally denounced political violence during an interview with Fox News Sunday. "It is certainly the case that violence is never the answer, whether it's targeted at the right, the left or the center," Jeffries told Fox News’ Shannon Bream. When asked how leaders can combat increasing political violence, Jeffries said elected officials must "set the most appropriate example" in their rhetoric.  "Whatever your ideological perspective is, we all love America, and we all want to make sure that this country is the best that it can possibly be," he added. Some Democrats have issued clear appeals to the left to refrain from using violence to achieve their political aims. "Please stop trying to murder the president," Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash., wrote on social media.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ef60a3059ccda1fcc2f9b0 I’m a university president. Trump is right to make colleges deliver for students te 2026-04-27T13:12:03.045Z I’m a university president. Trump is right to make colleges deliver for students Washington just sent a shockwave through the higher education establishment and American families are the clear winners. For years, traditional colleges and universities have operated like untouchable monopolies. They skyrocketed tuition costs, increased their administrative budgets, and happily pocketed federal financial aid checks. They did all of this without ever proving that their degrees lead to meaningful careers. Colleges and universities will no longer escape with zero accountability. Recently, the Department of Education under the Trump administration proposed a new accountability system. It is designed to eliminate the low return on investment that has burdened students and their parents for generations. Under this new Student Tuition and Transparency System, institutions must pass a basic earnings premium test. Colleges and universities must prove that graduates from their undergraduate programs earn more money per year than a typical high school graduate. If they cannot meet this metric, the institution will lose access to federal student loans and potentially Pell Grants. BILL MAHER CALLS UNIVERSITIES 'INDOCTRINATION FACTORIES,' PARTIALLY BACKS TRUMP EFFORTS TO REFORM THEM This proposal is not a radical political idea. It is economic common sense. As Under Secretary of Education Nicholas Kent correctly noted, if postsecondary education programs do not leave graduates better off, taxpayers should not be forced to subsidize them. More importantly, parents should not have to empty their retirement accounts to pay for them. Higher education has told high school seniors to blindly chase campus prestige for too long. We handed young adults tens of thousands of dollars in student loans to pursue degrees that the modern labor market simply does not value or need. The devastating result is a generation drowning in student loan debt, moving back into their childhood bedrooms, and holding diplomas that cannot secure a livable wage. As the president of Southeastern University, I see this proposed regulation as the reset American higher education desperately needs. WHY ELITE COLLEGES FEAR TRUMP AND MCMAHON'S NEW ACADEMIC COMPACT TYING FUNDING TO FREE SPEECH This is a victory for the family sitting around the kitchen table trying to figure out how to afford college. It is a victory for the 18-year-old being told to borrow without being told the consequences. And it is a victory for the taxpayer who has been subsidizing broken institutions for too long. A degree is only valuable if it equips a young adult to build a stable life, support a family, and contribute meaningfully to the economy. At Southeastern University, we understood this shift years ago. We did not wait for a federal mandate to hold ourselves accountable. We intentionally built an educational model designed for the modern workforce, partnering directly with employers, aligning academic programs with real economic demand, and ensuring students gain practical, career-ready experience long before they cross the graduation stage. Education must function as a bridge to economic mobility. It should not be a trapdoor into years of insurmountable debt. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION The higher education establishment will fight this proposal. Count on it. The very institutions that fueled this crisis will be the loudest voices against this change. They will dress their opposition in the language of academic freedom and institutional independence. But protecting institutions that consistently fail their students is not academic freedom. It is institutional cowardice. We cannot bend to that pressure. This policy is a direct defense of the American family and the American student. The federal government is finally demanding that colleges deliver on their expensive promises. For too long, institutions have been rewarded simply for existing rather than for producing results. That model is broken, and this proposal begins to fix it. The future of American higher education belongs to the schools willing to be held accountable, the schools that offer affordable, practical degrees and actually prepare graduates to succeed in the workforce. It is time to stop protecting broken institutions and start protecting the students they were built to serve. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM DR.

In a recent interview with Fox News Digital at the Breakthrough Awards, the 51-year-old singer described what it was like growing up in Alaska. "My lifestyle was just subsistence living, no electricity, no running water," she explained. "We had an outhouse, lots of creativity." She went on to say that this upbringing is what has "always kept me grounded."

And so I was raised by a very practical, pragmatic culture and family that also had a very philosophical bent." She explained that the combination of her family life and living in nature "really served me," noting there were no gender roles in her family and that "whatever needed to be done, you did. And you were expected to figure it out no matter what. You just had to figure it out."

As gut health becomes a growing focus in the wellness world, experts point to the microbiome — the trillions of bacteria living in the digestive tract — as a key player in everything from digestion to immunity.  Beyond probiotic staples such as yogurt, certain everyday foods packed with fiber, prebiotics and anti-inflammatory properties may also help support a healthy gut. CAN'T FALL ASLEEP? DOCTORS REVEAL UNEXPECTED FOODS THAT MAY HELP — AND THEY'RE GOOD FOR YOU, TOO "Yogurt, kombucha and sauerkraut provide probiotics — live bacteria — while foods like beans and oats provide prebiotics, which help feed those bacteria," New York-based nutritionist Robin DeCicco told Fox News Digital.  "Good bacteria may not survive if you don't have prebiotics. ... You need to have both." A nutritionist writing in Tasting Table recently highlighted several kitchen staples that can help fight gastrointestinal disorders like inflammatory bowel disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, autoimmune disease and cancer. Below are five unexpected foods that can support gut health. Widely known for their healthy fats, avocados also deliver about 14 grams of fiber per fruit. That fiber can help support digestion while also feeding beneficial gut bacteria. Daily avocado intake has been shown to increase beneficial gut bacteria, large studies in recent years have shown. 'MIRACLE FRUIT' MAY HELP CANCER PATIENTS OVERCOME CHEMO SIDE EFFECT THAT CAN LEAD TO DANGEROUS WEIGHT LOSS In one 12-week randomized controlled trial, adults with overweight or obesity who ate avocado daily saw greater gut microbiome diversity and higher levels of certain fiber-fermenting bacteria, according to research published in the Journal of Nutrition. Beans, lentils and chickpeas are packed with both soluble and insoluble fiber, making them a top pick for gut health. Research suggests legumes can help increase beneficial gut bacteria and support metabolic health, according to recent studies. "The more fiber you have, the more you support beneficial bacteria in the gut," DeCicco said. 'BEANTOK' TREND GOES VIRAL WITH WILD GUT HEALTH PROMISES — HERE'S WHAT EXPERTS SAY She also recommended adding beans gradually to avoid bloating and soaking dried beans beforehand to make them easier to digest. While garlic is best known for ramping up flavor, it also contains compounds that can benefit the gut microbiome. It is rich in prebiotics, which help nourish good bacteria, and contains naturally occurring sugars called fructans that can stimulate the growth of probiotics in the gut, according to Tasting Table. Compounds found in plant foods like garlic are metabolized by gut bacteria and may help support a healthier microbiome, emerging research suggests. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER A hearty bowl of oatmeal may do more than warm the stomach. Its fiber has been shown to help support gut health by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria. "Oats are excellent for the detoxification of waste and relieving constipation," DeCicco noted.  "The more fiber you have in your body, the more it may help reduce inflammation and lower your risk of developing disease." CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE STORIES DeCicco recommended pairing oats with protein and healthy fats to make the meal more balanced and keep you full longer. Flaxseed has gained popularity as a "superfood" — DeCicco praised it as an "all-around, super medicinal food" — and its benefits extend to gut health. The seeds are rich in both soluble and insoluble fiber, helping to feed gut bacteria while also promoting regular bowel movements, research has shown. They also contain plant-based omega-3 fatty acids and compounds called lignans, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, according to DeCicco. "Ground flaxseed is best, since the body can absorb its nutrients more easily that way," she noted. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ She advised starting with small amounts and drinking plenty of water to aid digestion and adding it to foods like oatmeal, yogurt, smoothies, eggs or salads.

It's being called the "world's first high stakes par 3 golf league." Did I watch any of the action? Absolutely not because I have a yard, kids, a rec baseball team to coach and a marriage to maintain, but I'm sure many of you were glued to the action. From what I can tell, the Grass League brought Paige in to do what Paige does – influence. "Can’t wait for the next event," Paige wrote on Instagram late Sunday night after the winning team of Austin Quicker & Tyler Weworski shot a two-round 23-under score to win $60,000. So when's the next event? SEPTEMBER! Now I just need to figure out a way to get Millennial Chris B. in Bowling Green entered.

When Mrs. Screencaps found the boy, he was pretty beaten up. Fast-forward to Saturday morning. We had our final tune-up before tonight's scrimmage which leads into opening night this Thursday (yes, on TNML's opening day; I will have to adjust my work schedule to mow, it's my duty). Lucas couldn't throw a baseball Saturday morning. His wrist is sore. His forearm is sore. His shoulder is scuffed up. His practice was over before it started. Guys, we're in a tough spot. I have kids missing games to play soccer. I have one kid who is out the first three games, I think, because of an Indian holiday or something like that. And now my long reliever who can eat up innings is facing a trip to the DL. That leaves us with ONE catcher who was also going to be one of my pitchers. If we can go .500, I might deserve a Coach of the Year Award for NW Ohio. I have nine kids who've committed to playing tonight's scrimmage. That's a huge relief. Thankfully, I don't have to ask the 5th and 6th grade league for a replacement player before the year gets rolling. Bonus rec ball content: Saturday morning, I asked the kids who watched baseball on Friday night. Any baseball. Out of nine kids, one raised his hand. Four raised their hands when I asked who played video games. At the end of practice, I challenged the boys to watch at least one inning of a baseball game over the weekend. Tonight, I'll see if any of them took me up on the challenge. What an ending. I'm not going to ruin it for those of you who are still working through the four-part series. What I will say is that at the end, those of us who grew up with Hogan during the WWF days will start to think about our own mortality. It's an emotional ending to say the least. I'm not going to believe this s--t is real until one of you tells me you've received something like this announcing you're not invited to a wedding. And are you expected to send a gift? You guys tell me what the current state of the wedding industry is like. Is this common? Email: joe.kinsey@outkick.com Personally, I'm happy for people getting married, but unless you're pretty far up the food chain as far as family, I'm not coming to your wedding. Mrs. Screencaps isn't a big fan of attending weddings. I couldn't care less. Trust me, you do not have to send a message saying I'm not invited. I'm not offended in the least. – Screencaps legend Indy Daryl checks in: Been a while since I checked in, but have been lurking in the background, reading and making sure to keep tabs. I seem to remember recently that your kids started buying baseball cards. As my mom was cleaning out her and dad’s condo over the past few months since his death, she came across a box that I thought was lost to the trash heaps of America. But lo and behold, she found my card collection!! Such a fun trip down memory lane. I’m sure it isn’t worth anything, but sure was fun to remember buying a pack, sort out the new ones, and then decide which ones were going into their own plastic preserver, and which were going into the book, and which ones just got "the bag."  I hope in 30 years your kids get to look back and have just as fond of memories!As I was looking through my collection, I saw a card the cracked me up! The name says Craig Biggio, but all I can see is a young Tom Brady with a batting helmet on. Crazy the resemblance! Are you sick of Dick's Sporting Goods and having to ask some college kid to go find shoes in the back and then it takes 15 minutes to get the shoes. Go to Dunham's if you have one in town. They throw all the shoes out on racks. It's perfect. Plus, they sell INCREDIBLY patriotic hats. ############################### That is it this morning. The sun is out. We might actually get a baseball game in this evening. And the birds are chirping their hearts out. Hopefully we have a better Monday with less stress than last Monday. Remember, May starts this week. Let's finish up April strong and head into the start of summer on a high note. Get out there and dominate the work week.

"This is something nefarious and dangerous, and you feel the hairs on your neck starting to lift and, if you watch the video, it's surreal that this was 24 hours ago," Pearlman said Sunday on "One Nation with Brian Kilmeade." Pearlman, who was with President Donald Trump at the time, said he initially struggled to process what was unfolding. He recalled that the person next to him went down first as the situation escalated. In those first seconds, he said, he didn’t immediately think there was a shooter. JASON CHAFFETZ 'IN SHOCK' OVER EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT OF CHARLIE KIRK SHOOTING "I'm telling you this just as the way that they were coming in, it didn't look like they were going to shoot someone or watch for someone who was holding a gun," he said. "To me, it appeared as if they were trying to stop someone, so I thought a bomb was about to go off – that's just, I'm telling you what happened in my mind." Pearlman dropped on all fours, bracing for what he thought would be an explosion. At that point, Secret Service agents rushed to get President Trump, trying to get him down and out of harm's way. "The most surreal moments, potentially of my life, are when President Trump goes down about a foot away from me, and we are side to side, staring into each other's eyes from a foot away," Pearlman recalled. TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT AFTERMATH, REACTIONS FROM INNER CIRCLE REVEALED IN NEW BOOK "The thought that crosses my mind right then is, 'Oh no, I hope we're not about to die,' and adrenaline is just coursing through me because I said to myself, 'There's no way the Secret Service is forcing the president down for a fire drill.'" Moments later, Pearlman said gunshots could be heard, though it was unclear at the time whether they were coming from inside or outside the room. As the president was rushed out, Pearlman and others on the dais dropped low and began crawling to safety, unsure if an active shooter was still inside the venue. Once backstage, he described the scene as "controlled chaos," with armed agents flooding the area as attendees tried to determine whether anyone had been injured. "There's guns everywhere, Secret Service is everywhere. I felt safe. I was looking for blood around and asked other people because none of us knew if POTUS or the first lady had been hit. Nobody really knew what had happened at that point," he recalled. "I was worried about my wife because she was out in the audience to watch my show, and no phones worked either because everyone was jamming up the system at the same time trying to call, trying to text... It was crazy. It was honestly a crazy five minutes." Chaos ensued Saturday when suspected gunman Cole Thomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, allegedly rushed a Secret Service checkpoint at the White House Correspondents' Dinner armed with multiple weapons. Allen then allegedly opened fire on a Secret Service officer, who was taken to the hospital after he was shot in his ballistic vest. Agents reportedly fired back at Allen, who was not struck. He was also taken to the hospital. Senior federal law enforcement sources with knowledge of the investigation told Fox News that Allen told law enforcement after his arrest that he was targeting Trump administration officials.

Danhausen has been featured on "Raw" and "SmackDown" since his debut with the company, but his feud with The Miz turned up a notch as he ruined The Miz’s WrestleMania moment and defeated him in a match on "SmackDown." Danhausen has also laid a "curse" upon the New York Mets and ESPN broadcaster Stephen A. Smith in recent weeks. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ef5719059ccda1fcc2f891 Bubba Wallace triggers one of the biggest wrecks in NASCAR history, 'Dega lap dances & Cowboy Pillow girls! te 2026-04-27T12:31:21.919Z Bubba Wallace triggers one of the biggest wrecks in NASCAR history, 'Dega lap dances & Cowboy Pillow girls! What a week for NASCAR. I'm not sure if it's was good, bad, or indifferent, but it was ... something. It was certainly newsy. Certainly not boring. You can call the sport a lot of things after this past week. "Boring" ain't one of them. And, if you ask insufferable Stephen A. Smith, "sport" ain't one of them, either! We'll get into it. Carson Hocevar became another first-time Cup winner Sunday at Talladega. I can unequivocally say that Carson winning was good for NASCAR. Let's get that out of the way right off the bat. In a week where the sport experienced major turnover, and turned a major eye towards the future, it got a much-needed kick in the pants with a guy like Carson Hocevar winning. NASCAR has needed a face for a while now. Chase Elliott was supposed to be the guy, but that ship sailed a long time ago. Denny Hamlin doesn't have a lot of years left. Kyle Busch is very clearly past his prime. Bubba Wallace ... well, forget that. It ain't gonna be Bubba, although I would LOVE to see that fallout. I've banged on the Hocevar drum for a year now. Some kids just have it. Carson has it. We'll get into that, too. What else? I've got The Big One at Talladega, which I'm fairly certain deserves an even bigger name. That HAD to be up there in terms of biggest crashes in NASCAR history. I've never seen anything quite like it. I've also got Jim France stepping down, Steve O'Donnell stepping in and the greatest sponsor in NASCAR history — Cowboy Pillows — is BACK! What a moment. OK, four tires, enough fuel to get us to Texas, and maybe a couple more tow-trucks to help finish cleaning up yesterday's mess ... Monday Morning Pit-Stop — the 'Is There Anyone Even Left?' edition — is LIVE! Let's spin the wheel today and start with ... the chaos! It's the final Monday of April, after all. Let's end it with a bang. Look, these wrecks are a dime-a-dozen at places like Talladega and Daytona. I'm not here to hype up crashes. I've seen them all. I'm numb to most of them at this point. That being said, every once in a while, you get a pileup like what we got on Lap 115 yesterday at Talladega. One of those Big Ones that takes out half the field. One of those that goes viral because it's mesmerizing to watch unfold. "Parking lot" was the sexy word everyone used yesterday. The field "looked like a parking lot" after this one. That's what usually happens when the leaders wreck at Daytona and 'Dega. When you're going 180 mph and everyone in front of you starts spinning left and right, it's tough to miss. Here's the kicker ... everyone's favorite driver, Bubba Wallace, was the one who got the party started. Of course he was! Was it his fault? Well ... Rollllllllll tape! So, the official count from NASCAR was 26. Twenty-six cars involved in that wreck, which puts it up there with one of the biggest ever. Two years ago, we had 28 cars wreck at 'Dega. At the time, folks called that the largest Cup crash ever. For those wondering, the 2002 Busch race at ... you guessed it, Talladega ... still holds the record for most cars involved with 31. So close! Maybe next time. Anyway, back to Bubba ... fans, obviously, jumped all over him after that. I get it. At first glance, it doesn't look great. How do you wreck from the lead? Did he just try to throw an unnecessary block with 80 laps still to go? Is he just an awful driver? That one, by the way, is the most popular opinion on the internet this morning: I could go on and on. Trust me. It's a WAR ZONE on NASCAR Twitter today. It's a bloodbath. Here's the part where I ... don't blame Bubba! I know. Please don't yell at me. Fair is fair, and I can't watch that — knowing how bad these Next Gen cars are — and still blame Bubba Wallace. I'm sorry. I know you're angry. Look, these cars stink. All the drivers hate them. All the fans hate them. They've made superspeedway racing unwatchable. You can't draft. You can't push. You can't bump. Hell, you can't really get good gas mileage. I'm just not sure what they're good at. KYLE LARSON'S ATTEMPT AT 'DOUBLE' COMES TO END AS HE WRECKS AT INDY 500 That sort of hit should not have sent Bubba into the wall. Five years ago, it wouldn't have. But these cars are so squirrely, the driver really doesn't have much control anymore. Listen to Joey Logano. He's a two-time Cup champ. He knows how to win a restrictor-plate race. He's got absolutely no allegiance to Bubba Wallace, or to Toyota: "Round bumpers and unstable cars." There you go. That's the Next Gen car in a nutshell. That's a bad combination for places like Daytona and Talladega. It just doesn't work. It's why you see guys running around single-file for half the race now. The second they start racing, they start wrecking. It's pathetic. It's embarrassing. It's, frankly, killing the series. Ryan Blaney ... thoughts? Yeah, I mean, I don't know what to do at this point, beyond tearing it all down and starting over. I doubt NASCAR is gonna do that given the investment they made in this car years ago. The good news is, I don't have to make those decisions ... Steve O'Donnell does! He's the new man in charge of NASCAR after Jim France announced Saturday he was stepping down as CEO. Was it a huge surprise? No. Jim's 81. Frankly, his position is far more ceremonial this point than anything. Steve O'Donnell and Ben Kennedy have been in charge for years now. With Steve Phelps thankfully removed earlier this year, this was the logical next step. Steve's in charge, Ben's his No. 2, and NASCAR should be off to the races! ... right? I've heard that spiel from NASCAR for two decades now. It's why they went to places like the LA Coliseum and the Chicago streets. It's why they went to Mexico last year. It's why they're going to San Diego this year. MICHAEL JORDAN'S NASCAR DRIVER MAKES HISTORY WITH 3RD STRAIGHT WIN TO START 2026 SEASON Has it worked? I don't know. There's a reason they're all of a sudden resurrecting places like Rockingham and Chicagoland now, right? There's a reason they've gone back to North Wilkesboro the past few years. "Finding news fans" has been the sexy buzz term for a decade now. How about just finding the right fans? We ever thought about that? Maybe employ Carson Hocevar as your new spokesperson while you're at it! As I said 1,200 words ago ... this guy is what NASCAR needs. They need him to win again. And then again after that. And then a few more times after that. Let's inject some life back into the garage. Let's find someone with an ounce of personality. Carson Hocevar fits the bill. It was a good win to kick off the Steve O'Donnell era. OK, that's it for today. Solid Monday. Even better when you end it with Cowboy Pillows. THIS is how you sponsor a race at Talladega!

Rep. Liz Conmy, D-Fargo, was identified as one of the two people killed when the Beech F33A went down in Brooklyn Park, Minn., and caught fire. "Liz served her state and community with care and compassion, from her service in the Legislature and on the state’s Human Trafficking Commission to her work on education, habitat and immigration," North Dakota GOP Gov. Kelly Armstrong wrote in a statement. "Kjersti and I are saddened by this tragic loss and offer our deepest condolences to her family, friends and fellow legislators. We ask North Dakotans to join us in keeping them in our prayers." Armstrong directed all U.S. and North Dakota flags to be flown at half-staff from dawn to dusk on the day of Conmy’s interment, encouraging North Dakotans to do the same at their homes and businesses. DC PLANE CRASH: VICTIM'S FAMILY SEEKS $250 MILLION IN FIRST LEGAL ACTION SINCE DEADLY COLLISION "I am heartbroken by the tragic passing of Rep. Conmy, a dear friend and former colleague with whom I had the privilege of serving in the state House," Lt. GOP Gov. Michelle Strinden wrote in a statement. "Liz brought integrity, compassion and unwavering dedication to her work on the Education and Judiciary committees, and I was proud to partner with her on efforts to strengthen our schools. My thoughts are with her family and all who knew and loved her." The Federal Aviation Administration said two people were aboard but the pilot was not immediately publicly identified. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will investigate, Fox 9 reported WHO ARE THE SHOOTING VICTIMS IN THE 'TARGETED' ATTACKS AGAINST MINNESOTA LAWMAKERS? "We are completely heartbroken and gutted by the loss of Representative Liz Conmy," the North Dakota Democratic–Nonpartisan League Party wrote Saturday on X. "Her death is a profound loss for our state. As a lawmaker, she championed public education, the environment, and transparency." Brooklyn Park Police Inspector Matt Rabe said officers were called at 11:51 a.m. to a report of a small plane crash in a park area. Emergency crews found the aircraft engulfed in flames after it crashed shortly after departing from Crystal Airport, north of Minneapolis. The Brooklyn Park Fire Department arrived within minutes and extinguished the fire, but there were no survivors. Neighbors near the crash site described hearing a loud explosion and seeing flames shoot up from the wreckage. "I was in the house, in my bedroom, and my daughter was eating cereal at the kitchen table, and there was a really loud boom," Ashley Capp, who lives across the street, told FOX 9. Another neighbor, Kim Clark, said the scene unfolded quickly. "We look across the street, and it was a huge flame, huge fire," Clark told the station. "Everybody started calling 911." State Sen. Tim Mathern, who described Conmy as a friend and former running mate, said she brought "a zest for life and a strong work ethic" and would be missed by Democrats and Republicans alike. The crash was the second deadly plane crash in Brooklyn Park in more than a year, according to FOX 9. The Associated Press contributed to this report. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ef56f2059ccda1fcc2f87f DOJ cites White House Correspondents Dinner shooting in push to drop lawsuit against ballroom te 2026-04-27T12:30:42.210Z DOJ cites White House Correspondents Dinner shooting in push to drop lawsuit against ballroom The Justice Department is pressing the leading opposition to President Donald Trump's $400 million privately funded ballroom project, calling on lawyers for the National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP) to drop their lawsuit. "[Y]our lawsuit puts the lives of the president, his family, and his staff at grave risk," Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Brett Shumate wrote in a Sunday letter to opposing counsel, shared on X by Attorney General Todd Blanche. "Enough is enough," the Shumate continued. Your client should voluntarily dismiss this frivolous lawsuit today in light of last night's assassination attempt on President Trump." Shumate vowed that if the NTHP did not move to dismiss by 9 a.m. Monday morning, he would move to dissolve the injunction against the ballroom's construction and to dismiss the case. WALZ REPEATS DEBUNKED CLAIM THAT TRUMP CONSIDERS WHITE HOUSE BALLROOM 'TOP PRIORITY' "It’s time to build the ballroom," Blanche agreed, in his X post, echoing Trump's words during the impromptu White House briefing after dodging his third assassination attempt by a crazed gunman who rushed the White House Correspondents' Dinner Saturday night. "The shooter targeted President Trump at the Washington Hilton, the only ballroom in Washington, D.C., suitable to host large gatherings for the President, where another shooter targeted President Reagan 45 years ago," Shumate noted in his letter to Greg B. Craig of Foley Hoag LLP, pointing to the historical context of former President Ronald Reagan's near-assassination at the same location. "As history proves, that venue is demonstrably unsafe for the President of the United States because its size presents extraordinary security challenges for the Secret Service. "[Saturday’s] assassination attempt on President Trump proves, yet again, that the White House ballroom is essential for the safety and security of the President, his family, his cabinet, and his staff." CHECKS AND BALANCES: TRUMP, SUPPORTERS SEEK TO PUSH BACK AGAINST 'ACTIVIST' JUDGES "I hope [Saturday’s] narrow miss will help you finally realize that filing a lawsuit that literally serves no purpose except to stop President Trump no matter the cost," Shumate wrote. The NTHP sued the National Park Service in December, a week after the White House finished demolishing the East Wing for a 90,000-square-foot (8,400-square-meter) ballroom. The group claimed Trump exceeded his authority when he demolished the East Wing — built in 1902 during Theodore Roosevelt's presidency and expanded in 1942 — arguing the president needed congressional authorization to do so. WHITE HOUSE TOUTS TRUMP’S ‘BOLD VISION’ FOR TOWERING INDEPENDENCE ARCH FOR AMERICA 250 Trump has said the president has historically had say over the White House remodeling, and has long noted that Congress does not have to pay for the privately funded project. A lower court had issued a March 31 injunction to halt ballroom construction, but it also paused that injunction to allow for an appeal. The White House argued the obstruction left the White House "open and exposed," threatening security for the building, the president and his family and staff. TRUMP RALLY SHOOTING SURVIVORS TURN ATTACK INTO MOTIVATION YEAR LATER: ‘GO OUT THERE AND LIVE LIFE’ "When the White House ballroom is complete, President Trump and his successors will no longer need to venture beyond the safety of the White House perimeter to attend large gatherings at the Washington Hilton ballroom," Shumate wrote. Forcing the president and Cabinet to attend events outside the White House grounds is too dangerous in this political climate, Trump himself argued Sunday night on CBS's "60 Minutes." "I'm building a safe ballroom," Trump said. "And one of the reasons I'm building it is exactly what happened last night. DHS LOOKS TO DEMOLISH HISTORIC ST. ELIZABETHS BUILDINGS DUE TO 'UNACCEPTABLE' RISKS "This is exactly why the military, and this is exactly why Secret Service and all law enforcement want it. "Because you have maybe 1,000 hotel rooms above the ballroom we were in [Saturday] night. And I'm not knocking it. I'm just saying in terms of maximum security -- it's not the best thing. You can do it, but you can have problems like this." The obstruction by lawsuits is potentially delaying the project, Trump added. "I wish it could be even sooner," Trump said. "We're months ahead of schedule, but it doesn't open till '28." Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ef5256059ccda1fcc2f7fe Fitzpatrick bros fulfill their dreams, Furyk captaincy sends a message, and the Scheffler-Korda comps grow te 2026-04-27T12:11:02.336Z Fitzpatrick bros fulfill their dreams, Furyk captaincy sends a message, and the Scheffler-Korda comps grow For a week in the golf world that felt destined to be a forgettable one, we managed to have ourselves quite a run of developments. Huge Ryder Cup news, Nelly Korda wins the first major of the year on the women’s side, and the Fitzpatrick brothers extend their magical run for another week at the Zurich Classic. In peak Friday news dump fashion, reports broke about Jim Furyk being tapped again as U.S. Ryder Cup captain for 2027, understandably breaking the brains of most (including my own) to begin the weekend. The dust has settled, and while the decision to go with Furyk still feels asinine, there are multiple angles to look at with this, and we'll get to that below. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Nelly was Nelly in Houston as she won the second Chevron Championship of her career. Now with three majors to her name — and back to being ranked the No. 1 in the world — the Scottie Scheffler comparisons have grown even scarier. Then the Fitzpatrick brothers managed to not only add drama to the final round of the Zurich Classic, which they should earn some sort of medal for, but they also delivered the storybook ending of all storybook endings. 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 The Fitzpatrick brothers, Matt, a U.S. Open champion and the No. 3 player in the world, and Alex, who plays in Europe and is ranked 141st in the world, have been fulfilling their dreams at an unprecedented rate. Here’s a quick rundown of their last five weeks: March 22: Matt wins the Valspar Championship, his first win on U.S. soil since April 2023 March 29: Alex wins the Hero Indian Open on the DP World Tour March 31: Matt and his wife, Katherine, announce they’re expecting their first child April 19: Matt wins the RBC Heritage in a playoff over World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler April 26: The brothers pair up for the Zurich Classic, and win it with a finish straight out of Hollywood The PGA Tour handing out two-year exemptions to the winners of the Zurich goes against all things holy and right within professional golf, but Sunday’s finish made things feel far less slimy. Tied with two other teams at 30-under playing the 72nd hole, Matt hit a perfect drive on the reachable par 5. Alex didn’t appear to get all of his 9-wood from 230 yards out, with his shot finding a bunker short of the green. This set the stage for older brother Matt to do something incredibly special for his kid brother, and did he ever. Facing an awkward bunker shot from 35 yards to a back pin where a miss long is death, Matt proceeded to knock it to 14 inches. Alex tapped in the birdie, and his life officially changed right then and there: a two-year PGA Tour exemption, a share of $2.75 million, and a spot in next month’s PGA Championship. And all of it set up by his own brother with a bunker shot that the two will be talking about for the rest of their time on Earth; it can’t get much better than that. "I'm incredibly appreciative of him, everything that he does for me. There's just so many little things that I'm sure that he does that I don't know about that he does for me as well," Alex said of Matt following the victory. "Yeah, I'm obviously incredibly lucky to have him as my brother. "I don't think there's many people that can say, you know, one of the best players in the world is your brother, but also, just what he does for me. Yeah, just love him to bits. There's not much more to say." Any golfer out there who has a great relationship with a sibling on and off the course couldn’t watch the Fitzpatrick’s embrace on the 18th green, or read Alex’s comments, without feeling something deep in the soul. Tiger Woods was not going to fix the many flaws of the U.S. Ryder Cup team and flip the downward trajectory it has been on for years by simply taking on the role of captain. The situation he put himself in is unfortunate, and it put the PGA of America in a difficult spot (again), but his presence alone in the role wasn’t going to suddenly make the Americans the force so many in the golf world have expected them to become.  That’s especially true for a Ryder Cup across the pond, an occasion that the U.S. team hasn’t come out of on the right side of things since 1993. Having said that, there may not have been more of a ‘sacrificial lamb’ selection for the 2027 U.S. Ryder Cup captaincy than Jim Furyk. Optics-wise, it’s hard to come up with a less motivating choice to lead the Americans into battle at Adare Manor than Furyk. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! The PGA of America tapping the same man who captained the 2018 U.S. Ryder Cup team that was embarrassed in France, 17.5-10.5, is a bit mind-numbing, yet on brand. The Europeans have long been operating at an entirely different level than the Americans at the Ryder Cup, winning 11 of the last 15. Furyk getting another go at things after already failing miserably signals the PGA has no idea how to even begin trying to turn things around. It also presents the glaring thought that the U.S. will arrive at Adare Manor with the expectation and preconceived notion that it is going to lose. That thought is already in the mind of everyone in the golf world living in reality, but it can’t be one that also lives within the minds of the actual players and staffers inside the U.S. team room. Now, while it’s easy and largely justified to ask questions and point out the negatives associated with the Furyk selection, he does deserve credit for even taking on the challenge. Nobody is more aware of how badly things went in France in 2018 than Furyk. He has also been a vice captain on U.S. staffs four times, including in 2025 when the Americans fell to the Europeans at Bethpage Black. We also can’t gloss over the fact that he was 10-20-4 as a player in the Ryder Cup as well. Furyk has accrued multiple scars from this event, and for him to raise his hand to give it one more go in a year where the Europeans will be significantly heavy favorites is admirable. For all we know, other candidates with far fewer Ryder Cup wounds may have passed on the challenge. For Furyk, 2027 won’t only be a challenge, but an opportunity in a low-risk, yet extremely high-reward situation. Personally, I thought Stewart Cink could have been a nice fit to captain the Americans in ‘27. If not him, Brandt Snedeker getting the nod, presuming he leads the U.S. to a win in the Presidents Cup later this year, would have been a totally acceptable direction to go as well. Korda went wire-to-wire at Memorial Park to win the Chevron by a resounding five shots, and having now won twice in 2026, she’s back to being the top-ranked player in the world.  Her dominance in Houston felt as close to what we saw out of her in 2024 when she won seven total times, including a stretch of six wins in less than five months. We may not see a run like that exactly, but Korda was in a class of her own for four days at the Chevron and certainly looks capable of putting together yet another memorable campaign. LPGA'S MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIP GREENSIDE PLUNGE POOL IS PREPOSTEROUS IN EVERY WAY Comparing the No. 1 players on the men’s and women’s side isn’t some new exercise, but when you put the resumes of Korda and Scheffler side by side, the resemblances are striking. Scheffler at age 29: 4 major championships, 20 PGA Tour wins, 81 career Top 10 finishes, 19 career missed cuts Korda at age 27: 3 major championships, 17 LPGA Tour wins, 80 career Top 10 finishes, 19 career missed cuts The two are also Nike and TaylorMade athletes. Scheffler and Korda will spend their entire careers being linked and compared to one another — it’s the natural thing to do with their similar ages and being ranked first in the world — but the fact that they’re so close to being exactly on pace with one another is something.  Now, it’s just a race to see who gets the next major title. A U.S. Open win for Scheffler this year would give him the career grand slam.

WWE "Raw" and "SmackDown" both set for their next storylines after WrestleMania 42, seen some call-ups come through and neared some official matches for Backlash, which is set for May 9. All Elite Wrestling continued to motor toward its Double or Nothing pay-per-view, which takes place on May 24. Darby Allin was in action while some championships were on the line through the week. In case you missed anything, read the cliff notes below. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! == Darby Allin stunned the pro wrestling world nearly two weeks ago when he defeated Maxwell Jacob Friedman to win the AEW World Championship. There were only a few days for celebration before Allin had to defend his title on "AEW Dynamite" on Wednesday. Allin faced off against Tommaso Ciampa for the title. It was a brutal match that saw Ciampa get busted open and deliver a hard-hitting drop to Allin from the middle rope onto the floor. Allin used multiple submission maneuvers to eventually for Ciampa to tap out. "Last night, I encountered my wrestling soulmate," Ciampa wrote on Instagram on Thursday. "I have a hunch we will be doing this many more times over the next decade. "Mark my words: it might not be this month… it might not be this year… hell, it might not even be 2027…. but there will come a time when I hold that AEW World Title." Allin didn’t have much time to celebrate as another challenge rose – Brody King. King said he got it cleared by AEW co-founder Tony Khan and, if it was OK with him, he would like to be the next man up. Allin accepted, and the two will battle for the championship on this week’s edition of "Dynamite." Fresh off a win over Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 42, Jacob Fatu was the first person to step up to world heavyweight champion Roman Reigns on "Monday Night Raw." The show, in that spot, is used to create new storylines or shocking comebacks, and Fatu helped the cause. Reigns, flanked by Jey and Jimmy Uso, told Fatu he would think about the challenge as he didn’t think Fatu was necessarily ready to take him on. Fatu did more than enough to prove himself on "Friday Night SmackDown" as he defeated Solo Sikoa and handled the MFT faction by himself. Fatu’s endeavor left the Usos stunned as they watched him tear apart Tama Tonga, JC Mateo and Tonga Loa. If Reigns accepts Fatu’s challenge, the World Heavyweight Championship bout will be set for Backlash in a few weeks. Cody Rhodes’ promos in the midst of Pat McAfee’s insertion into his WrestleMania feud with Randy Orton blurred the line on what was real and what was kayfabe. Over the last three WrestleManias, Rhodes has had to deal with The Rock, Travis Scott and McAfee as he tried to either win the Undisputed WWE Championship or retain it. He was able to get through Randy Orton at WrestleMania 42, but he wasn’t finished sending pointed messages. He said Friday on "SmackDown" he wanted to "send a message" at WrestleMania. "And the most important message that I wanted to send is to those outside forces that kept interceding and kept interjecting into my WrestleMania plans, that want to get involved in this nightmare family party, I’ll make it simple, you guys are 0-3. Send your best or count your money and mind your damn business," he said. It’s unclear who steps up to Rhodes’ title. But CM Punk seemingly had eyes for the belt on Monday.

Giulia held the belt for 111 days.  Stratton is the sixth U.S. title winner since the championship made its debut in December 2024. WWE NXT stars have gotten the call-up over the last week. Ethan Page, Sol Ruca, Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid appeared on the main roster last week. Ricky Saints, Joe Hendry and Blake Monroe were teased for this week.

The attack happened Saturday when an explosive device was detonated on a bus traveling along the Pan-American Highway in the municipality of Cajibio. So far, 15 women and five men are among the victims, according to Octavio Guzmán, governor of the region of Cauca. US DESIGNATES COLOMBIA'S CLAN DEL GOLFO AS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION, CITING NARCOTICS TRAFFICKING He wrote on X that the attack injured 36 others, three of whom are in intensive care. Guzmán noted that five of the injured are minors who are expected to recover. Colombia’s Institute of Legal Medicine said that specialists including dentists, anthropologists and forensic doctors are identifying the victims. AT LEAST 80 PEOPLE KILLED IN NORTHEAST COLOMBIA AS PEACE TALKS FAIL, OFFICIAL SAYS The bombing is the latest attack in the region, with more than two dozen incidents reported in the past three days in southwestern Colombia. The region is home to illegal armed groups who vie for control of coca leaf cultivation areas and for sea and river access routes to run drug trafficking operations to Central America and Europe. Gen. Hugo López, commander of Colombia’s armed forces, has described the incident as a "terrorist act." He blamed it on the network of a man known as "Iván Mordisco" — one of Colombia’s most wanted figures — and the Jaime Martínez faction. Both are dissidents of the now-defunct Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia that operate in the region. The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights condemned the attacks against the civilian population and called on authorities to investigate the incidents and "guarantee justice for the victims." Guzmán declared three days of mourning on Sunday in memory of the victims.

Your neighbor grabs the exact same box at the exact same store on the exact same day. She pays less. You pay more. Why? Because the store's algorithm decided you would. That scenario sounds like a conspiracy theory. It isn't. Retailers have been quietly using this kind of pricing for years, and now one state has finally had enough. Maryland is set to become the first U.S. state to ban surveillance pricing in retail grocery stores and certain grocery delivery platforms. Governor Wes Moore has said he will sign the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act into law after the state legislature passed it, and the rule will take effect on October 1, 2026. Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy Report WHAT HACKERS CAN LEARN ABOUT YOU FROM A DATA BROKER FILE Surveillance pricing goes by a few names: dynamic pricing and personalized pricing are the common ones, but the concept is the same regardless of what you call it. A store collects data on you as an individual shopper. It looks at how often you browse certain products, what neighborhood you live in and whether a competitor is nearby, what your income and family size appear to be, and your dietary habits. Then it uses all of that to decide how much you specifically are willing to pay and charges you accordingly. One Kroger shopper in Oregon decided to find out exactly what her grocery store knew about her. She submitted a data request under a state privacy law and received a 62-page profile in return. Most of the inferences in that profile were wrong. That's the part that should make your stomach drop. Retailers are charging people based on guesses, and those guesses are frequently inaccurate.  The timing here matters. Maryland didn't pass this bill in a vacuum. Major retailers, including Walmart, have been rolling out digital price tags on store shelves. Unlike paper tags, these electronic displays can update instantly. Pair that capability with predictive pricing software, and a store can change what you're charged in real-time based on whatever the algorithm decides at that moment. Governor Moore pointed to the financial pressure already squeezing working families and argued that new technology should not become another tool for squeezing them harder. Consumer Reports actively lobbied for the bill, which speaks to how significant the consumer protection concern really is. Still, the organization was honest about the result: the final version of the law falls short of what advocates originally wanted. The Protection from Predatory Pricing Act sets some clear ground rules for large grocery retailers. Stores must keep their prices fixed for at least one full business day. That eliminates the possibility of prices spiking by the hour based on demand signals or individual shopper data. Retailers are also prohibited from using surveillance data, shopping history, ethnicity or income to set different prices for different customers at the same time. Loyalty programs and promotional offers are still allowed. That exemption was a concession to the retail industry, and it's one of the places where critics say the law starts to lose its teeth. RETAIL PRICES CAN JUMP IN SECONDS WITH HIGH-TECH STORE PRICE TAGS Brick-and-mortar surveillance pricing gets most of the attention, but the same issue shows up in online grocery shopping. Consumer Reports ran an investigation into Instacart's pricing practices last December. Nearly 400 shoppers purchased the same basket of groceries from the same stores at the same time. The price differences were striking. Depending on the product, shoppers were paying up to 23% more than other shoppers for identical items. Across a full year of shopping, those gaps could add up to more than $1,200 per household. After the investigation went public, Instacart announced it was ending the program responsible for those discrepancies. That outcome matters. It shows that consumer pressure and public scrutiny can drive real changes, even before a law requires them. Maryland may have moved first, but it won't be alone for long. California, Colorado, Illinois, New Jersey and other states are exploring similar legislation, while New York has already enacted a related pricing transparency law. What happens next in those states will be telling. Advocates are hoping they avoid the exemptions that weakened Maryland's version. Each new bill is an opportunity to close the loopholes the retail industry has worked hard to create. Consumers have been subject to dynamic pricing in airlines, rideshares and e-commerce platforms for years. Grocery stores represent something different, a daily necessity where price manipulation hits people with the least financial flexibility the hardest. No matter where you live, this law matters to your wallet. If you shop in Maryland, the change is immediate. Starting October 1, 2026, you have a legal right to the same shelf price as every other shopper who walks in that day, regardless of what data the store has collected on you. If you shop anywhere else in the country, pay attention because your state may not be far behind. California, Colorado, Illinois, New Jersey and other states are exploring similar legislation, while New York has already taken steps toward pricing transparency. The momentum is real, and Maryland just handed those states a working template to build from. 10 THINGS TO STOP PAYING FOR TO SAVE MONEY NOW That said, wherever you shop right now, the exemptions in Maryland's law are worth understanding. The Maryland Retail Alliance pushed hard against this bill and successfully carved out several exceptions during the legislative process. Consumer Reports flagged one irony in particular: loyalty program prices are exempt, which means stores could shift pricing in ways that favor members and potentially disadvantage non-members, effectively punishing non-members rather than rewarding members. The enforcement side is also limited in ways that should concern any consumer. If a retailer violates the law, you cannot sue them yourself under these specific provisions of the law. Only the Maryland Attorney General has that authority. And before the AG can take action, the retailer gets a written notice and a 45-day window to correct the violation with no legal consequences. First-time violators face fines of up to $10,000. Repeat offenders face up to $25,000 in fines. For a major grocery chain generating hundreds of millions in revenue, those fines barely register.

Maryland's law is imperfect, and advocates said so publicly. But an imperfect first law still moves the needle. It establishes that surveillance pricing in grocery stores is a problem worth legislating, gives other states a legal framework to improve on, and puts retailers on notice that the political appetite for regulation is growing. The bill's weaknesses are actually useful in that way. They show exactly where the next round of advocacy needs to focus: stronger enforcement, consumer standing to sue, and tighter language around loyalty pricing exemptions. And if you live outside Maryland? Watch what your own state legislators do next. The grocery industry will lobby hard to add the same loopholes everywhere. Knowing what those loopholes look like is half the battle. Change tends to start in one place before it spreads. Maryland went first. Your state could be next. If a retailer already holds a 62-page profile on you and most of what's in it is wrong, do you trust that the same technology is setting your prices fairly, and would you even know if it wasn't?

Beuerlein, 61, said that players anticipate the physical side of the game when they enter the NFL, but not all of what comes mentally. "I think a lot of players anticipate the physical side of it. Understanding that things just happen a lot faster. The guys are a lot stronger. The mistakes are a lot fewer. The margin for error is much less," Beuerlein told Fox News Digital in a recent interview. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM "Every mistake is magnified. I think players understand that. But I don't think they have any way to possibly understand the complexity of the game at this level and the time that goes into preparing yourself week after week." Beuerlein said that for players to withstand the grind, they need to make strong decisions off the field to build strong habits. "It's a long season, and I know the season's much longer now for college football players than it ever was. But the intensity and the magnitude of each game and the pressure that's on you to perform and produce at a high level each and every week is much greater at the NFL level," Beuerlein said. ZERO BS.

So you've got to get yourself into good habits in terms of decisions, your life decisions off the football field, how you take care of yourself, your diet, your nutrition, your exercise routine." Rookies would be wise to heed Beuerlein’s advice as he played 14 seasons in the NFL. He played for the then-Los Angeles Raiders, Dallas Cowboys, Arizona Cardinals, Jacksonville Jaguars, Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos. He was a backup quarterback when the Cowboys won the Super Bowl in 1992. He made the Pro Bowl with the Panthers in 1999.

Millennials and Gen Z are broke, have it much worse, and boomers and Gen X'ers are rich, and the system is rigged. It’s a great headline. It’s also increasingly wrong.  Let’s start with the stat that should make both sides very uncomfortable. Baby boomers still control over $85 to $88 trillion in wealth and that’s more than half of all U.S. household wealth.  That’s the scoreboard. JONATHAN TURLEY: SANDERS' WEALTH TAX DANGLES CHECKS WHILE TORCHING THE CONSTITUTION But here’s the plot twist nobody wants to talk about in America. Millennials are quietly catching up faster than any generation in modern history. According to Federal Reserve data, millennial wealth exploded from about $3.8 trillion in 2019 to over $18 trillion by 2025, which is a 374% surge.  We are going to have the largest intergenerational transfer of wealth over the next decade.  Let me say that again: 374% growth in six years. AMERICA HAS A VERY EXPENSIVE PROMISES PROBLEM — AND THE BILL IS COMING DUE That’s not a struggling generation. That’s the Artemis II for money. Even more controversial? Adjusted for inflation, Millennials now have more wealth than boomers and Gen X did at the same age by as much as 25% in some studies.  So, what’s really going on here? FOUR LESSONS WHY THE 'BOOM BELT' IS MAKING SUCH A BIG NOISE WITH MIGRATION Millennials look richer on paper, but it doesn’t feel that way. Why? Because much of their wealth is tied up in two places right now. In fact, housing appreciation alone added trillions of dollars to millennial balance sheets in recent years.  Especially since COVID-19.  That’s great unless you’re trying to buy your next home or upgrade your home. Boomers, on the other hand, built wealth in a completely different system. LEE CARTER: 45% OF AMERICANS CALLING THEMSELVES 'INDEPENDENT' AREN'T INDEPENDENT AT ALL – THEY'RE JUST ANGRY Millennials didn’t get that deal. They got the following. And yet they’re still catching up. TRUMP’S ‘BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL’ NEEDS A 'FAT SHOT' TO END OUR DANGEROUS DEBT ADDICTION The real story isn’t boomers vs. millennials. It’s winners vs. losers. TIME FOR BUSINESSES TO RETURN TO THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE Because the data shows something far more uncomfortable: Translation? HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS SEE RED WHEN THEY LEARN THE SIZE OF THE NATIONAL DEBT If you picked the right career (tech, finance), bought assets early, and stayed invested, you’re crushing it. If you didn’t do this, then you’re getting crushed. That’s not a generational gap. That’s an education gap. Now here’s where this gets really interesting and controversial. Over the next 10–20 years, we’re about to witness the largest wealth transfer in history: MIKE ROWE WARNS OF DECLINING WORK ETHIC PROBLEM AS YOUNGER GENERATION 'SNOWFLAKES' FACE FEWER CONSEQUENCES That sounds like salvation for millennials. But don’t count on it. Because many boomers aren’t passing it down. Instead, they’re spending it. Travel. Healthcare. Longevity. Lifestyle. The "inheritance bailout" millennials are counting on? It may be a mirage. Did boomers and X’ers steal the economy and wreck it? IT'S NOT JUST DEMOCRATS. SOCIALIST MAMDANI'S PLANS SHOULD WORRY REPUBLICANS NATIONWIDE Boomers and X'ers didn’t "steal" the economy. Millennials aren’t "broke." But here’s the truth nobody wants to say out loud. This is no longer a fair game. It’s a fast game. So, buckle up. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION If you own assets, you’re winning. If you don’t, you’re falling further behind faster than ever before. To fix it, everyone needs to really understand capitalism and get in the game. It’s why I talk about it every week on my show, "Red, White, and Green." The real question is will you get in the game and be owner or just watch from the sidelines?

Rick Jackson has spent months trying to cast himself as the race’s most pro-Trump candidate who will be Trump's "favorite governor" despite Trump’s endorsement of Lt. Gov. Burt Jones. However, one of his companies has repeatedly criticized the OBBBA, a landmark GOP legislative package that Trump endorsed and signed into law last year. Jackson Physician Search, a subsidiary of Jackson Healthcare, said on its website in September 2025 that the bill's "sweeping cuts to Medicaid and ACA programs raise serious concerns about access, equity, and sustainability," and warned that some hospitals may need to "adapt or close their doors." In a February 2026 recruitment report, the company also said the law was projected to cause "between 10 and 15 million people" to lose health coverage, while Medicare and Medicaid cuts were creating "significant financial pressure" across healthcare organizations and considerable "fear and uncertainty" about what lies ahead. EXPERT REVEALS HOW COMPANIES ARE REBRANDING 'TOXIC' DEI POLICIES TO SKIRT TRUMP-ERA BANS: 'NEW WRAPPER' "Rick supports the Big Beautiful Bill. Period," Mike Schrimpf, a spokesperson for Jackson's campaign told Fox News Digital. "Growing up in the projects, Rick believes in the dignity of work and is a strong proponent of work requirements for that reason. He has long opposed Obamacare and regularly touts President Trump’s healthcare policies, like TrumpRx, on the campaign trail. That’s why Rick Jackson will be Donald Trump’s favorite governor." Schrimpf added that "for months" Democrats have been attacking Jackson for his support of the OBBBA, noting "this attack makes about as much sense as accusing a pilot of hating to fly." At a campaign event last month in Thomasville, Georgia, Jackson told constituents that he thought there were "many parts" of the OBBBA that were "great," and said he would be paying "40 percent more in taxes" if it had not passed, and defended work requirements in the bill by saying they motivate people to be productive and get off Medicaid. "The worst thing that we can do is tell people — is get people relying on government where they have no incentive to work," Jackson told constituents.  "It’s the most dehumanizing thing that you can do," he continued. "God made us to be productive." VULNERABLE DEM'S SUPPORT FOR ALEX PRETTI COLLIDES WITH LAKEN RILEY ACT ANNIVERSARY Jackson has also drawn himself closer to Trump by praising his tariff policies. "I believe in fairness," Jackson said in March. "Don't want somebody to take advantage of us in a business transaction. That's what he's trying to do. So I support." Meanwhile, Jackson, who reportedly modeled his campaign launch after Trump with a celebratory elevator descent, said he can't name a single White House policy he disagreed with, according to the Atlanta-Journal Constitution. But, despite these assertions from Jackson on the campaign trail, his remarks stand at stark odds with his physician search firm warning in a February white paper about "considerable fear and uncertainty" for what is to come as the result of the OBBBA.  "The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) is projected to cause between 10 and 15 million people to lose health coverage," the white paper notes, citing new public healthcare work requirements implemented by the OBBBA. "Medicare and Medicaid cuts are creating significant financial pressure across healthcare organizations," it continues. The same report, which includes comments from the firm's senior leadership and other content on the search firm's website, also slammed H-1B visa provisions in the OBBBA aimed at restoring integrity to the immigration program that has reportedly been rife with fraud, arguing it would be a net negative for the healthcare industry. GOP BILLIONAIRE TRYING TO WOO TRUMP'S SUPPORT IN KEY GEORGIA RACE BANKROLLED HIS 2024 PRESIDENTIAL RIVALS The materials and resources also said OBBBA would promote physician burnout, would likely force rural hospitals to shut down, would discourage hopeful physicians from going to school, thus exacerbating the existing doctor shortage, and briefly emphasized the negative impact of Trump's tariffs on physician recruitment. "My team works with clients throughout the Midwest who are facing department closures if they can’t hire a physician or advanced practice provider. For proof, just look at the number of labor and delivery departments forced to close in the past few years," said Senior Vice President of Recruiting at Jackson Physician Search, Tara Osseck. "Now, recent policy changes — including provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) and increased fees affecting international visas — are adding new layers of complexity to an already challenging physician recruitment environment." "The implications are significant," Osseck adds. "Coverage losses can lead to increases in uncompensated care, placing additional strain on already thin operating margins. When financial pressure mounts, healthcare organizations may delay service expansions, reduce hiring plans, or freeze recruitment altogether." The OBBBA, a wide-ranging bill, included reforms to the federal student loan program aimed at making education more affordable. However, Regional Vice President of Recruiting at Jackson Physician Search, Tonya Hamlin, warned the reforms will actually make it harder for hopeful physicians to get to college. TRUMP ALLY CLAY FULLER ADVANCES IN GEORGIA FIGHT FOR MTG’S FORMER SEAT "These reforms could force students to absorb the difference through private loans or personal resources," Hamlin wrote in a blog post on the search firm's website. "They could also cause lower-income students to reconsider attendance altogether." Hamlin went on to warn that with less people able to go to medical school, the shortage of physicians will only get worse for hospitals and clinics. "Despite these additional hurdles, clinicians and trainees must not be deterred," Hamlin encouraged. "Stay focused on the higher purpose of your calling while staying informed, planning ahead financially, and engaging in ongoing advocacy." The Republican primary race for Georgia governor has been a messy one between Jackson and other frontrunner candidates, including Jones, Attorney General Chris Carr, and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. In particular, Jones and Jackson, have been sparring over who is more aligned with Trump. "This Primary Election is very simple," Jones says on his campaign website. "There is one authentic conservative who has fought for President Trump." Jackson, meanwhile, donated $1 million to the president's political action committee, MAGA Inc. less than two months before he jumped into the race in February and has faced backlash for cutting 6-figure checks to the presidential campaigns of Trump's former GOP rivals during the 2024 Republican primary.  Jackson also reportedly ran an ad against Raffenspeger portraying him as the Biblical character Judas in an attempt to portray him as a traitor for defying Trump's efforts to challenge Georgia's 2020 election results. The Republican primary to see who will move on to the general election in Georgia's gubernatorial fight will take place on May 19. The first and only debate between the candidates is scheduled for Monday night. Fox News Digital reached out to Jackson Physician Search.

The study, published in the journal Cell Reports Medicine, examined the gut microbiome in stool and oral microbiome from saliva and the tongue. The China-based researchers with BGI Genomics analyzed 404 samples from Chinese patients with gastric cancer in one group, and chronic gastritis in another. DEATHS FROM ONE TYPE OF CANCER ARE SURGING AMONG YOUNG ADULTS WITHOUT COLLEGE DEGREES Gut microbes were different in gastric cancer, the researchers found, unveiling 28 varying gut species.  Most were oral bacteria, including Streptococcus — bacteria that can sometimes cause strep throat — lactobacillus and other lactic acid bacteria. Twenty oral-gut species were found in both saliva and stool and were more common in the gut of gastric cancer patients. The findings suggest the transmission of these bacteria from mouth to gut, after finding that the oral bacteria matched closely to the gut bacteria in the same person, according to genetic comparisons. The researchers suggest that saliva and stool samples could help indicate patterns that are linked to stomach cancer, although more research is required before testing is ready for clinical use. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER "Collectively, these findings underscore the critical role of the oral-gut microbiome axis in [gastric cancer]," the researchers concluded in the study publication. Since this is a cross-sectional analysis, the results cannot prove that these bacteria cause cancer, but they do suggest a strong association. Dr. Brian Slomovitz, director of gynecologic oncology and co-chair of the Cancer Research Committee at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach, Florida, talked about the "initiator-promoter" model of this study in an interview with Fox News Digital. "[The study] demonstrates how the microbiome of one area of the body can migrate and affect the ability of cancers to develop in another part of the body," said Slomovitz, who was not involved in the new study.  "The initiator in gastric cancers is usually inflammatory, such as H.pylori infection," he continued.  "This inflammation leads to damaged mucosal cells where the lactic acid-producing bacteria can colonize. This helps to explain why cancers still develop even after treating H. pylori infection." The new findings could be applied to using the saliva for early cancer detection, Slomovitz suggested, which may help identify the disease even in pre-cancer states. "Perhaps we will learn that by altering the microbiome, we can help better treat cancers (in combination with immunotherapy or chemotherapy) or even prevent cancer," he said.  "These results will build a foundation for future research. However, we are not ready to incorporate this into clinical practice." CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES Fox News senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel also weighed in separately on the study, noting that awareness around the importance of the gut microbiome on overall health has been growing. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ "There is a correlation between the bacteria found in the gut and neurogenerative disease and increased cancer risk," he told Fox News Digital.  "It is very important that we work toward a healthy microbiome in the gut to decrease the risk of inflammation and cancer."

Rodgers, presumably, would walk back onto the roster as the Week 1 starter barring an injury. The team only has Mason Rudolph and Will Howard on the depth chart and selected Drew Allar in the draft. He played in 16 games for the Steelers in 2025, helping the team to an AFC North win and a playoff berth. He had 3,322 passing yards and 24 touchdown passes. Though, they are some of his lowest totals when he plays at least 15 games in a season. Rodgers will turn 43 by the end of the year. He hasn’t said one way or the other whether he will return.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ef3d3c059ccda1fcc2f4d5 Ex-Biden official's campaign faces heat as missing children scandal resurfaces: 'Voters deserve better' te 2026-04-27T10:41:00.958Z Ex-Biden official's campaign faces heat as missing children scandal resurfaces: 'Voters deserve better' As Xavier Becerra looks to move up the polls in the Democratic primary for governor, one of the biggest controversies shadowing his record is the scandal involving missing migrant children during his tenure as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The scandal stemmed from the massive surge of immigrants, specifically unaccompanied minor children. Shelters became so full that these children were forced to stay in jail-like facilities run by federal immigration officials and eventually in massive tent cities set up in major metropolitan areas.  The images of these children put pressure on the Biden administration to do something, so they reportedly began imposing demands on staffers to begin moving kids quickly out of the shelters and to their sponsors meant to protect the kids from human trafficking or other forms of exploitation, according to a scathing investigation by the New York Times published in Feb. 2023. "If Henry Ford had seen this in his plants, he would have never become famous and rich. This is not the way you do an assembly line," Becerra told HHS staff, according to the Times, even as HHS was beginning to peel back longstanding protections that had been in place for years, such as certain background checks and reviews of children's' files. EXCLUSIVE: NEW ‘GAVIN NEWSOM FILES’ REVEAL CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR’S ‘EXTREME’ AGENDA The comment from Becerra to ramp up the efficiency also came after nearly a dozen officials within the HHS division responsible for unaccompanied migrant children expressed concern that child labor trafficking was increasing, adding the system is "one that rewards individuals for making quick releases, and not one that rewards individuals for preventing unsafe releases," according to the Times. Data the Times obtained showed, over a period of two years, more than 85,000 children became unable to be tracked by federal officials. However, Becerra contested the unaccompanied minors had been "lost," arguing they were in the custody of vetted sponsors, but just did not pick up the phone when officials made their follow-up calls. Becerra and his supporters also pointed out amid pushback over the matter that HHS's legal authority over a child ends once they are placed with a sponsor. A campaign staffer with Becerra's team added that the HHS Secretary worked diligently to fix a broken immigration system inherited by Trump, suggesting the blame did not fall at Becerra's feet. Meanwhile, in February 2024, HHS's Office of Inspector General indicated it had indeed found gaps in sponsor screening and follow-up, including missing documentation for required safety checks in 16% of sampled case files and untimely or undocumented follow-up calls in many cases.  At the time those findings were released, the HHS OIG already found in 2022 that guidance issued to speed releases had removed safeguards and may have increased the risk of releases to unsafe sponsors. COULD RFK JR BE A DISRUPTOR AND REFORMER AT HHS? A few months after the Times' reporting, Republicans in the House subpoenaed Becerra and HHS for records and documents related to the "vetting, screening and monitoring" of sponsors for migrant children. Republicans received hundreds of pages of documents, but argued none were responsive to their concerns before eventually hauling him to Capitol Hill for a hearing. After House Republicans ordered HHS to produce records by Oct. 3, 2024, the dispute never culminated in a clean public resolution — committees kept complaining the production was incomplete, Becerra was called back to testify, and later watchdog reports — rather than Congress’ subpoena — became the clearest answer on whether the government was reliably tracking unaccompanied minors entering the United States. "Xavier Becerra failed those kids, failed the country, and failed to do his job," a Democratic Party campaign strategist told Fox News Digital under the condition of anonymity. "Becerra was horrible at HHS, and thinking he can become Governor of California after that record is delusional," the Democratic strategist continued. "Voters deserve better than a recycled cabinet secretary who couldn’t manage his own department."

Ask me again after the end of the season," Wembanyama said. He scored 27 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and served up seven blocks in the Spurs’ 114-93 win on Sunday.

Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson said the team was prepared to play without Wembanyama if he wasn’t cleared. "Fortunately, we have a little experience preparing for a variety of lineups and rotations," Johnson said before the game. "I think the guys have really empowered us as a staff, I’d say, throughout the season, of being able to have a brand and identity regardless of availability." Players like Wembanyama who are diagnosed with a concussion need to clear a series of benchmarks before they are allowed to play. The results are compared to baseline neurological evaluations players take at the start of the season. Game 5 is set for Tuesday night back in San Antonio.

"Following discussions on both sides of the Atlantic through the day, and acting on advice of Government, we can confirm the State Visit by Their Majesties will proceed as planned," said a Buckingham Palace spokesperson on Sunday. President Donald Trump, the first lady, and administration officials were evacuated from the Washington Hilton ballroom shortly after the WCHD began when a suspect rushed a security checkpoint and opened fire on Secret Service agents. The investigation is ongoing, and the agent is expected to recover. King Charles’ first U.S. visit remains on track, officials close to the matter told Fox News Digital. PRINCE HARRY, MEGHAN MARKLE EXCLUDED FROM TROOPING THE COLOUR AS ROYALS PREPARE TO SHOW UNITED FRONT: EXPERT Secret Service chief of communications Anthony Guglielmi told Fox News Digital that "the protective model for [Saturday] night’s event proved effective, the key takeaway for future events is that enhancements should be expected at every level, as that is how the model is designed to function." "Every protective decision is driven by intelligence amid a dynamic and currently elevated threat environment. We are actively focused on identifying the trigger for this incident and fully understanding the factors that led to it," he added, when asked about security measures for the visit.  The four-day trip aims to mark America’s 250th birthday—which celebrates the nation’s freedom from British rule. Charles’ visit comes against the backdrop of the war with Iran and criticism from Trump of Prime Minister Keir Starmer. "It’s been 87 years since King George VI became the first king to ever step foot on American soil, and next week King Charles III will become the second British king to ever visit the Land of the Free," former advisor to Prime Minister Boris Johnson Thomas Corbett-Dillon told Fox News Digital. The visit will kick off Monday morning with a formal ceremony at the White House and a ceremonial military review. The King and Queen will participate in several events, including a private tea. "This is a monumental occasion, coming 250 years since the revolutionaries declared themselves free from the rule of the British crown. They now welcome that same crown with love, adoration, and open arms," said Corbett-Dillon. Charles will deliver an address to Congress after his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, first delivered a speech at the Capitol during a state visit to the U.S. in 1991. The last king to visit the U.S. was King George VI in 1939, when he traveled with Queen Elizabeth to strengthen ties prior to World War II. KING CHARLES URGES 'DIGITAL DETOX,' RECONCILIATION IN CHRISTMAS SPEECH AFTER YEAR OF ROYAL DRAMA "The King is making one of the most politically sensitive trips of his life, visiting a White House that has publicly denounced his own Prime Minister on multiple occasions," said Corbett-Dillon. While the visit will celebrate the U.S.-U.K. alliance, it also unfolds at a politically sensitive moment, with tensions lingering over Iran and Trump’s public criticism of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. "This is not Winston Churchill we are dealing with," said Trump on March 3. "By the way, I’m not happy with the U.K. either," the president continued, referring to Starmer blocking the United States’ use of U.K. bases to launch attacks on Iran.  Trump’s frustration with Starmer stems from Britain’s refusal to fully join the U.S. campaign against Iran, and has urged U.S. allies to get involved militarily or operationally, particularly around protecting oil shipments in the Strait of Hormuz. KING CHARLES WON’T MEET PRINCE HARRY DURING MONARCH’S US STATE VISIT: EXPERTS "The President may be tempted to push the King to back him in Iran," Corbett-Dillon said. The monarch’s visit follows Trump’s state visit to the U.K. in September. "The special relationship remains above the day-to-day politics of our two nations and is cemented in our shared heritage and history," said Corbett-Dillon.

Throughout his coaching career in Golden State, Kerr has taken every opening to preach left-wing politics. Suddenly, though, the Warriors coach sounds like someone who is trying to move more toward the middle. Or at least sound that way. New Yorker staff writer Charles Bethea had a lengthy, and revealing, sit-down with Kerr. It's not revealing because Bethea is an objective journalist who desired to seek truth. Quite the opposite, in fact. Bethea doesn't even try to hide his own left-wing bias. He opens the piece with a glowing affection toward Kerr before making his position on the longtime NBA coach crystal clear. He writes that Kerr has been "refreshingly outspoken" throughout his career. Does anyone think Bethea would describe a conservative coach or athlete as "refreshingly outspoken"? Of course not. But the writer took it a step further, calling Kerr's 2022 Uvalde comments "informed and impassioned advocacy." It's always "informed and impassioned advocacy" when the writer agrees. If he disagrees, then it's "dangerous misinformation" or "bigotry" or some other word-of-the-day from the progressive rhetoric dictionary. And the bias didn't stop at the introduction. Even Bethea's questions were designed to let Kerr know he was speaking with an ally, not an objective journalist (let alone an adversary). But, perhaps against his own intentions, Bethea's bias exposed the most interesting part of the interview. When Hong Kong comes up, Bethea doesn't frame the issue as hypocrisy. He says President Donald Trump relished what he "perceived to be hypocrisy" from Kerr and the NBA. Sure, the "perceived hypocrisy" of constantly lecturing about social justice while keeping quiet about China's human rights violations to keep cashing checks from the Communist regime. How could anyone perceive that as "hypocritical"? Even when The New Yorker gets to New Yorker gets to one of the clearest examples of the normally loose-lipped Kerr going silent when the league's business interests were involved, it still can't resist softening the premise for him. But even speaking to a friendly interviewer, Kerr sounds like a guy backing off. He says he's learned he needs to be better about "representing our organization" without getting too personal. He says he regrets calling Donald Trump a "buffoon." He says it's better to focus on policy and values than personal insults. And then he does something even more telling. He admits his old Hong Kong answer was "really weak," says "Yeah. I was wrong," and acknowledges he was trying to "walk the company line" and not make the NBA mad. Bethea didn't follow up on this answer at all, by the way. Instead, he pivoted right to praising Kerr for his Uvalde stance. Modern journalism, right? CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE FROM OUTKICK There's some important context here. Recent reporting from NBA reporters Marc Spears and Nick Friedell suggested Kerr's constant political commentary had created internal frustration inside the Warriors. Spears said he'd heard Kerr may have been "stifled a little bit." Friedell reported that league and team sources said Kerr's desire to speak candidly on social and political issues had, at times, caused internal frustration. That's interesting coming from an NBA franchise in an overtly left-wing sports league. And we've seen this exact pattern from Kerr before. Back in January, after the Renee Good shooting in Minnesota, Kerr did what he always does: blast out an uninformed take straight out of the progressive playbook. He didn't wait for facts or leave room for uncertainty. He said it was "shameful" that law enforcement officers could "commit murder" and seemingly get away with it, and he accused the government of lying about what happened. He did it again after the Alex Pretti shooting, saying ICE wasn't really "rooting out violent criminals" but detaining "5-year-old kindergartners" and U.S. citizens. Then came the part Kerr usually doesn't have to deal with in friendly sports media circles. A follow-up question. Although the NBA and the Warriors were initially reluctant to allow OutKick into the media room, they finally relented. When OutKick asked him directly about his comments, Kerr backed off. "I definitely misspoke," Kerr said while acknowledging that ICE was arresting some criminals, said he "immediately regretted" the comment, and apologized for "the misinformation." If Kerr deserves to be labeled as refreshing, it's not because he spouts left-wing talking points at news conferences. A lot of coaches and players do that and are hailed as heroes by the fellow lefties in sports media. It was refreshing to hear Kerr admit that he made a mistake and apologize. And that's where Doc Rivers comes in. When Rivers, who was the Milwaukee Bucks head coach at the time, got the same kind of opportunity, he did the exact opposite. OutKick followed up with Rivers about his own ICE comments, and Rivers didn't change his tune at all. In fact, he doubled down. Asked whether calling the Minnesota shooting "murder" was a legal judgment or a moral one, Rivers answered, "Both, and I don't change that at all." Asked whether U.S. citizens who are Brown should be worried about ICE, Rivers said, "We all should be." That's a coach who got pushback and chose escalation. Kerr got pushback and chose retreat. In a league full of players and coaches who love to moralize, that distinction matters. That's why this New Yorker article matters more than it looks like it should. On the surface, it's exactly what people would expect from a magazine that shares Kerr's worldview. The piece is affectionate, admiring, and shamelessly tilted in his favor. Bethea openly praises Kerr's politics and makes no effort to push back. Instead, he tries to soften the rough edges in Kerr's favor. Basically, he does the opposite of journalism. And even with all that help, Kerr still sounds more hesitant than the version of himself who used to relish turning every podium into his own little bully pulpit. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! None of this means Kerr has changed sides. He hasn't. He's still one of the NBA's most predictable left-wing voices. He's still much more comfortable lecturing the country when it's time for selective outrage and stays conveniently silent when the NBA interests are involved. Readers might notice that Kerr said he gave a "weak answer" on China previously, but he didn't bother to give a new "strong" answer that might upset the CCP and his NBA bosses. And he's still being rewarded for that posture by outlets like The New Yorker, which treat progressive activism from sports figures as a sign of bravery instead of the virtue-signaling that it is. But he also sounds like someone who's started to understand that there can be a downside to the act. The old Steve Kerr routine was simple: say the expected left-wing thing and then let the liberal media fawn on his "bravery" and never ask a follow-up question. It worked for a long time. Then the ICE comments came and a media outlet called OutKick did some actual journalism and asked a follow-up question. That's when Kerr's tune started to change. He apologized. Now, reports are surfacing that people around the Warriors might be getting tired of his act, too. Finally, there's this New Yorker interview, where even under the friendliest conditions imaginable, Kerr sounds like a man trying to leave himself more room to retreat. But no, Steve Kerr isn't abandoning politics or moving more toward the middle. Instead, he's doing something much more subtle than that. He's changing how far he's willing to push his talking points when there's a real chance of pushback. And the fact that you can see that shift even in a fawning New Yorker article makes it a lot harder to miss.

Ro Khanna, D-Calif., said Sunday that Congress should maintain full funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) while reiterating his opposition to specific Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) spending. The remarks came during an interview on NBC’s "Meet the Press" following an overnight shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington. When asked by host Kristen Welker if Congress needed to act in response to the violence at the Washington Hilton, Khanna emphasized his support for DHS, but drew a firm line regarding ICE. "Absolutely, we've been funding [DHS]. The Democrats have been saying we want to fund DHS," Khanna said. "We just don't want to fund ICE agents for raids against American citizens and immigrants in ways that break the law." 7 HOUSE DEMOCRATS BREAK WITH JEFFRIES TO PASS DHS FUNDING DESPITE ICE BACKLASH The congressman appeared on the program the morning after a gunman breached a security checkpoint at the hotel where the annual black-tie event was being held. Authorities confirmed that a suspect, identified as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California, was carrying a shotgun, a handgun, and multiple knives when he was intercepted by Secret Service agents. One agent was struck by a bullet but was saved by a ballistic vest; the agent is expected to make a full recovery. Khanna condemned the attack and praised the law enforcement officers who intervened. "It was absolutely horrific," Khanna said. "I'm so relieved that the president, the First Lady, every administration official, and all the guests are safe. I appreciate law enforcement, particularly the Secret Service agent who was shot, and I hope he makes a full recovery."

"We need a bipartisan national commission on political violence in this country," Khanna suggested. "We should look at social media, mental health issues, and the impact of our political rhetoric. We need to do something to bring the temperature down." When asked about his confidence in the Secret Service and FBI investigation, Khanna expressed full support for the agencies while suggesting that security protocols for major Washington events may require a comprehensive review.

A group of Chilean researchers recently announced the discovery of the exact location of Rey Don Felipe, later known as Port Famine, along the Strait of Magellan in Chilean Patagonia. The colony was established by King Philip II of Spain in 1584 in an effort to control the strait, a critical passage between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. LONG-LOST SOLDIER'S GRAVE DISCOVERED AT REMOTE US NATIONAL PARK AFTER 150 YEARS But within three years, the site was found abandoned and its colonists dead — earning the name Port Famine. Using metal detection and high-precision geolocation, researchers tracked variations in signal strength across the ground to pinpoint where to dig. There, they unearthed a coin — a significant find because it was recovered in situ, meaning exactly where it was originally placed. The find was consistent with historical accounts describing a coin placed as part of a founding ritual. "We initially detected a very strong signal, but we didn’t know what it was," Francisco Garrido, an archaeologist at Chile's National Museum of Natural History, said in a press release. WARRIORS FOUND STACKED IN ANCIENT WELL REVEAL VIOLENT TALE OF BATTLEFIELD DEFEAT: ARCHAEOLOGISTS "With the data we gathered, we selected the excavation point — and that's where we found the coin." The silver coin is a real de a coho, or "piece of eight" — commonly used across the Spanish Empire. Pictures of the more than 400-year-old coin show it has an irregular, hand-cut shape, typical of early Spanish colonial minting. In a press release, researchers called Port Famine "one of the most tragic and mysterious colonial experiments in the Americas." They added, "The discovery highlights the fragility of early colonial ventures, showing how settlements like Rey Don Felipe and Roanoke were shaped by isolation, limited resources, and uncertain support from distant imperial centers." LOST 18TH-CENTURY SPANISH MISSION UNEARTHED AFTER DECADES OF SEARCHING OFFERS 'RARE SNAPSHOT' The site was discovered in the 1950s, but it hasn't been excavated in more than half a century, said Soledad González Díaz, a researcher at Bernardo O'Higgins University in Santiago. González Díaz told Fox News Digital in a translated email that since then, historians have uncovered multiple historical documents, including a 16th-century map — and that survey and analysis technologies "have advanced greatly in precision." She added, "This demonstrates the importance of returning to already known sites with new questions and tools." She also noted that the coin indicates "the exact point where the colonizing project was materialized," referring to a ceremonial placement described in historical records. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE STORIES "Its discovery not only coincides with documentary descriptions, but it also has deep symbolic value, since it forms part of a foundational rite," added González Díaz. "These ceremonies were solemn occasions through which the Spanish monarchy marked its presence and took possession of new territories." The researcher hopes that the excavation will reveal more why the colony failed — and shed light on the lives of the colonists and Indigenous populations in Patagonia. "The most widespread version of the story of Rey Don Felipe states that the colony failed due to hunger and desolation. …  While there is some truth to that, the reality was much more complex," she said. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ "What we see instead is a scenario also marked by tensions, conflict and violence — elements that must be incorporated into the analysis in order to understand the failure of the project." Despite excavating in a remote environment, the historian noted that her team only faced "logistical challenges, nothing impossible to overcome." González Díaz said the project has been documented in audiovisual format from the start — and that the team is working on a documentary set to be released next year. "The research began in a very spectacular way. During our first campaign, in 2019, two bronze artillery pieces belonging to the expedition came to light," she added. "This finding marked a very strong starting point for the work we have carried out since then."

Their visit to the United States marks the first time a British monarch has visited the country since the late Queen Elizabeth visited in 2007 to celebrate the anniversary of the Jamestown settlement. "The visit will be an opportunity to recognise the shared history of our two nations; the breadth of the economic, security and cultural relationship that has developed since then; and the deep people-to-people connections which unite communities," reads a press release from the U.K. Embassy. During their four-day visit, in celebration of the 250th anniversary of America's independence, the King and Queen will travel to Washington D.C., New York and Virginia, where they will meet with the country's leaders and different community organizations. PRINCE HARRY’S BETRAYAL SHATTERED KING CHARLES' TRUST BEYOND REPAIR: EXPERT The royals' visit comes after Washington D.C. was shaken by a shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday.  President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, first lady Melania Trump and other top officials were evacuated from the Washington Hilton Hotel ballroom on after a gunman exchanged fire with Secret Service agents in the lobby before being subdued and taken into custody. The suspect, identified as 31-year-old Cole Allen, of Torrance, Calif., shot a Secret Service officer in his ballistic vest before being tackled to the ground. The Secret Service agent is expected to make a full recovery and was released from the hospital Sunday. Allen is facing federal charges including assaulting a federal officer and using a firearm during a crime of violence, with additional charges possible. In a statement to Fox News Digital on Sunday, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson confirmed that Charles and Camilla's trip to the US was moving forward despite the shooting. "Following discussions on both sides of the Atlantic through the day, and acting on advice of Government, we can confirm the State Visit by Their Majesties will proceed as planned," the spokesperson said. "The King and Queen are most grateful to all those who have worked at pace to ensure this remains the case and are looking forward to the Visit getting underway tomorrow," the spokesperson added. A palace source told Fox News Digital that Charles and Camilla reached out privately to the president and the first lady "to express their sympathies with all those affected on the night and their gratitude to the security services who prevented further injury." The first stop on the royals' journey will be Washington D.C., where they will be greeted by Trump and Melania, with a private tea at the White House on Monday, April 27. Also included in their itinerary is a garden party, a ceremonial military review and a bilateral meeting, which the president and king will attend, while the queen and first lady have their own meeting. "His Majesty, accompanied by The Queen, will deliver an address to Congress," the press release says. "This will be only the second time a British Monarch has addressed a joint meeting, following Queen Elizabeth II’s speech at the Capitol during a State Visit to the United States, in 1991." They will then return to the White House for a state dinner hosted by President Trump and Melania. The following day, the king and queen will leave Washington D.C., but not before laying "a wreath and flowers in honour of the fallen," to recognize the military alliance between the U.S. and the U.K. During an interview with the BBC, President Trump showed his excitement for their visit, telling the outlet that King Charles is "a fantastic man" and that he can "absolutely" see the two countries remaining lasting allies. According to the press release, the royals will then travel from Washington to New York. "In New York, The King and Queen will undertake engagements reflecting the modern relationship between the UK and the US, including strong economic and cultural ties connecting the British and American people. The visit will also celebrate community initiatives, working to improve the lives of people in New York and across the United States." While in New York, the monarchs will visit first responders and families of those who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001, in recognition of the 25th anniversary of the attacks. In addition, they will visit an organization that teaches children affected by food insecurity how to farm sustainably, an event for The Queen's Reading Room as well as an event with business and financial leaders "representing the breadth of the economic relationship driving growth in the UK and the US."

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ef289b059ccda1fcc2f244 Virginia senators want to inflict their tyrannical gun strategy on entire country te 2026-04-27T09:12:59.755Z Virginia senators want to inflict their tyrannical gun strategy on entire country It’s often said that bad ideas start in California and make their way east. But these days, Virginia looks eager to take that crown.  The two U.S. senators from the Old Dominion aren’t just embracing gun control from Richmond — they’re trying to export it nationwide. Democrat Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner have rolled out the so-called "Virginia Plan," a package that would take 13 of the most extreme gun restrictions in Virginia law and impose them on the entire country.  In pushing this agenda, Kaine points to the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre as justification. But the facts tell a different story. A comprehensive analysis of mass shootings for more than 75 years demonstrates that 93% of mass public shootings occur in so-called Gun-Free Zones. That suggests the problem is not too many guns, but too many places where only the attacker is armed and victims are left defenseless.  Nevertheless, Kaine and Warner want to expand those very zones — prohibiting firearms within 1,000 feet of most hospitals and mental health facilities. But does anyone seriously believe a sign will stop a criminal intent on murder? These attackers ignore such restrictions all the time. And given that most of them choose these disarmament zones, it’s hard to escape the conclusion that these policies don’t deter attacks — they invite them. LOX & LOADED: JEWISH GUN GROUP PARTNERS WITH NRA AMID RISING ANTISEMITISM Take a hospital in Darby, Penn. A deranged individual entered, intent on killing as many people as possible in 2014. By the logic of gun control advocates, that attack should never have happened. The shooter was prohibited from owning firearms — he couldn’t pass a background check. Yet he still obtained several guns illegally. And the hospital was exactly what gun control proponents claim to want: a place where no one but law enforcement is allowed to carry. But, in practice, those restrictions did nothing to stop him. And as the saying goes, when seconds count, police are minutes away.  The gunman walked right past a "no guns allowed" sign and opened fire. What he didn’t expect was resistance. His intended target, Dr. Lee Silverman, was a lawful permit holder who carried despite the hospital’s policy. When the shooting began, Silverman took cover and returned fire, striking the attacker multiple times and stopping the rampage. Tragically, one life was lost — but authorities credited him with preventing a much larger massacre. POLITICAL VIOLENCE ON THE RISE. IS IT TIME FOR A NEW DOMESTIC TERRORISM LAW? That’s not theory — that’s reality. And yet Virginia’s leaders are moving in the opposite direction. Among the 13 provisions in the Virginia Plan, the most egregious may be its ban on commonly owned firearms — a restriction that Virginia itself is now preparing to enforce.  The term "assault weapon" is one of the most misleading labels in this debate. But any item used to kill could be labeled an "assault weapon." FBI data from the past five years shows knives are used in about 1,500 homicides annually — over three times more than all rifles combined. AR-15s are only a small subset of long guns. So why is policy fixated on one category that represents a tiny fraction of violent crime?  These bans don’t just miss the mark — they come at a real cost. The firearms being targeted are among the most popular in the country for lawful purposes, including self-defense. Stripping law-abiding citizens of access to effective defensive tools doesn’t disarm criminals — it only tilts the balance against those who follow the law. If the goal is public safety, we should focus on violent offenders, not restrict responsible citizens.  That’s something President Donald Trump has done well. Our country is enjoying unprecedented safety — and it didn’t come from new gun restrictions. It came from a shift in priorities. In the first month of his second administration, Trump implemented measures aimed at deporting violent gang members, ending catch-and-release policies for illegal aliens and getting repeat offenders off the streets. That’s what real public safety looks like. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION The results speak for themselves. We saw the largest single-year drop in murders ever recorded — without a single new federal gun control law. While some politicians insist more gun restrictions are the answer, the data shows otherwise: enforce the law, incarcerate violent offenders and crime falls. That should be a wake-up call for anti-gun Democrats like Kaine and Warner. But they’ll likely ignore it.  In the end, this isn’t just a policy debate — it’s a real fight over whether this nation will respect the Constitution or bend the knee to tyranny. That’s why Gun Owners of America has been engaged in court battles across the country: challenging Illinois’ so-called assault weapons ban, pushing back against expanded Gun-Free Zones in New York, and preparing a challenge to Virginia’s new ban on commonly owned firearms. At its core, the Virginia Plan is about exporting Virginia’s experiment to the nation. But if it becomes a national model, it will also meet a national response — in the courts, in the states and in defense of the Second Amendment.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Geoff Freeman, president of the U.S. Travel Association, called "questioning the safety of travelers" to the U.S. a "step too far." He also called discouraging international visitors from traveling to the U.S. to make a political point about the Trump administration the "height of absurdity." "If we discourage these travelers from coming, travel businesses are going to pay a heavy price, and that's not just in the 11 [FIFA] host cities around the country, that's all around the country," he said. "We all have policies we disagree with, and there's a way to express ourselves when we disagree with those policies. But holding the bellman, holding the waitress, holding the small travel business hostage in order to make your political point is extremely disrespectful." TRUMP AWARDED FIRST-EVER FIFA PEACE PRICE AT WORLD CUP FINAL DRAW The New York Times-owned outlet The Athletic reported this week that 120 fan groups and civil society organizations published a travel advisory warning potential World Cup visitors to the U.S. about possible arbitrary detention and inhumane conditions. Groups that backed the warning included Amnesty International USA, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). The groups warned that visitors could face human rights violations in the U.S., including arbitrary denial of entry, risk of detention, invasive social media screening, searches of electronic devices, racial profiling and suppression of free speech. The advisory also warned that immigrants, ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+ individuals and others are "most vulnerable to serious harm" when traveling within the country due to the "Trump administration’s rising authoritarianism and increasing violence," according to the outlet. The advisory called on travelers to the U.S. to "exercise caution and have an emergency contingency plan." Though it noted concerns about previous World Cups in countries such as Russia and Qatar, The Athletic called it "highly unusual" for such warnings to come from so many civil rights organizations in a host country. A FIFA spokesperson told Fox News Digital that "as per article 3 of the FIFA Statutes, FIFA is committed to respecting all internationally recognized human rights and shall strive to promote the protection of these rights." The spokesperson went on that "the development and publication of the FWC2026 Sustainability and Human Rights Strategy, the FWC2026 Human Rights Framework, and the recently updated FIFA Statement on Human Rights Defenders and Media Representatives as well as the establishment of an FWC2026 Human Rights Advisory Group comprised of independent experts and the wide advertisement of the FIFA Human Rights Grievance Mechanism, are all evidence of FIFA’s commitment to human rights across all key activities and actors connected to the tournament." Fox News Digital reached out to FIFA for comment. The White House’s World Cup Task Force has staunchly denied any such risks to visitors to the U.S. Davis Ingle, a spokesperson for the White House, emphasized to Fox News Digital that "international visitors who legally come to the United States for the World Cup have nothing to worry about." While emphasizing that foreign visitors must be "proactive" in preparing their travel documents ahead of time, he dismissed the advisory as "ridiculous scare tactics driven by liberal activist groups and the left-wing media." "What makes someone a target for immigration enforcement is whether or not they are illegally in the U.S.— full stop," he explained. "Speculation to the contrary is ill-informed." TRUMP DISMISSES IRAN WORLD CUP CONCERNS AMID ONGOING MILITARY STRIKES: 'I REALLY DON'T CARE' "President Trump is focused on ensuring that this is not only an incredible experience for all fans and visitors, but also the safest and most secure in history," said Ingle. "Our mission is simple: ensure every fan – Americans and visitors alike – has a safe and unforgettable experience." Ingle said that the Department of Homeland Security will be working with local and federal partners to secure the 2026 FIFA World Cup "in line with federal law [and] the U.S. Constitution — as we do with every major sporting event, while showcasing American greatness to the entire world." "The FIFA 2026 World Cup will no doubt be one of the greatest and most spectacular events in the history of mankind, attracting millions of fans from around the world to eleven host cities across America," Ingle went on. "This will be a monumental event that requires close coordination between the Trump Administration, FIFA, and all of our great federal, state, and local partners." Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Transportation ripped media outlets that it said are advancing the fearmongering campaign. The spokesperson told Fox News Digital that "The New York Times should be held equally responsible for platforming these baseless claims as the Far Left activist groups making them." "Comparing tourists who legally enter our country to illegal aliens who circumvent the system is absurd," said the DOT spokesperson. "America is the greatest and freest country in the world. We have put millions of man-hours and billions of dollars into planning and facilitating a world-class event for millions of Americans and international visitors to enjoy this summer." A spokesperson for The Athletic responded to this by telling Fox News Digital that "The Athletic's reporting is a fact-based account of a public advisory issued by more than 120 official globally recognized organizations, making clear the positions of these groups."  The spokesperson added that "it is the role of news journalists to report on topics of broad public interest like this," saying, "Our article also makes clear criticisms of these groups' position, including responses from both FIFA and the White House."  TRUMP ENVOY ASKS FIFA TO REPLACE IRAN WITH ITALY IN 2026 WORLD CUP: REPORT Speaking with Fox News Digital on Friday, Freeman further backed the Trump administration’s preparations. He said the administration has "taken several important steps to welcome international travelers." Steps the administration has already taken to prepare include reducing visa wait times by creating a fast pass for those who have tickets to games and the introduction of new technologies by U.S. Customs and Border Protection to speed the processing of travelers entering the country, Freeman said. He emphasized that the economic impact of international travel for the World Cup "has an opportunity to permeate all aspects of the United States." "International travelers are incredibly important in the United States," he explained, noting that these travelers "spend eight times more than the average American spends when they move around the country." "The beauty of the international traveler is they're not using our services. They're not using healthcare. They're not using the education," he said. "They're coming here, they're spending their money and they're going home, telling their friends and family, ‘Hey, you should go do the same thing.’" "I think what the NAACP, the ACLU and other organizations are doing right now is trying to sabotage these games to make a political point," he went on, adding, "It's fearmongering to discourage tens of millions of people from coming to the United States to make a political point." Fox News Digital reached out to Amnesty International USA, the ACLU and the NAACP for comment. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ef2874059ccda1fcc2f232 Mamdani's racial equity plan a hidden 'moving the goalposts' ploy to justify massive gov expansion: expert te 2026-04-27T09:12:20.157Z Mamdani's racial equity plan a hidden 'moving the goalposts' ploy to justify massive gov expansion: expert New York City’s socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani is "moving the goalposts" on poverty in the nation’s largest city with his newly unveiled racial equity plan to justify a massive expansion of government intervention, a top city policy analyst warns. Mamdani released his "Preliminary Citywide Racial Equity Plan" earlier this month, which quickly received pushback from President Donald Trump’s Justice Department as well as from the Manhattan Institute’s Santiago Vidal Calvo, who told Fox News Digital that when the report uses a "true cost of living" to claim 62% of New Yorkers can’t make ends meet in the city, it’s a ploy to declare a crisis that needs more government. "What he’s essentially doing is moving the goalposts," Vidal Calvo explained. "He’s essentially saying that what the federal government qualifies as somebody below the poverty line — which is essentially like $34,000, $35,000 a year, those might be like 2024 numbers, but it’s pretty close to that — we’re essentially moving the goalposts so anybody under $160,000 with children cannot afford to live in New York City." "Those numbers, in reality, if you live in New York City, they don’t sound crazy, they don’t sound, you know, high. But in all of reality, for any single person across America, $160,000 is, you know, a breadwinner. It’s essentially enough money to raise a family and to have children and to have a good life. So when we move the goalposts into that direction, without actually recognizing what are the underlying issues of the disease, what are the actual problems that make New York City expensive, then we’re just attributing a problem and throwing a dart at the board and saying, 'This is it.'" MAMDANI RIPPED AFTER CONCEDING KEY CAMPAIGN PLEDGE WON'T HAPPEN THIS YEAR The "reality" of the situation, Vidal Calvo says, is that you "don’t make a place more affordable by making people earn more" but instead the city needs to "ask the right questions" about policies that drive wage growth and new housing development.  "So the issue here is that we are focusing on a problem that the socialists in City Hall want to believe—that if you give people more money, they essentially can access more things," Vidal Calvo said. "But you’re not asking what is the tradeoff of giving people more money. And just by placing that the 'True Cost of Living' in New York City is $160,000 a year for people with children, that doesn’t necessarily mean that people, first, can afford that life or, second, they are able to get those salaries." MAMDANI'S RESPONSE TO TRUMP'S IRAN STRIKE SPARKS CONSERVATIVE BACKLASH: 'ROOTING FOR THE AYATOLLAH' The high cost of living in New York City is driven by several factors, including housing, which is an area where Vidal Calvo says City Hall needs to "encourage more housing being built around the city." "That’s how you lower the price of housing," he said. "It’s not by freezing rent, it’s not by stabilizing markets—normally what that leads is to more and higher prices." Rather than a giant administrative effort to grow government with more departments and staffers, Vidal Calvo explained that the city should instead be reforming zoning to build faster, slash permitting delays, make it easier to establish child care facilities, reduce administrative barriers, and create opportunities for employers to hire more people and recruit talent from across the United States. Mamdani's racial equity plan has drawn intense scrutiny from conservatives over its conclusions on race and efforts to base government action to address racial disparities, including from DOJ Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon who said she will "review" the matter. Vidal Calvo, who recently published a New York Post op-ed on Mamdani's plan, told Fox News Digital, "I feel like this is just another way to put DEI on the table without calling DEI." "And we have now found that in academia, in many government programs, in many existing architectures of social structures, DEI does not work, and unfortunately, this might be just another case in which it fails, and not because of the well-intended reason of trying to make everybody earn a living, because I feel like that's a good intention that everybody can have," Vidal Calvo explained. "But it's about the solutions that they're trying to actually approach. It's about methodology of how they're actually trying to approach this method. You cannot argue that just because somebody is a different race, it's become insanely more unaffordable to make a living in New York City. That's not how it works." Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdani's office for comment.

The legislation aims to reinforce the iconic A-10 Thunderbolt II, also known as the “Warthog,” whose distinctive sound has long provided reassurance to ground forces under fire. Hamadeh quoted one soldier, who called it, “One of the most terrifying yet beautiful sounds ever heard.” In consultation with @SecWar, we will EXTEND the A-10 “Warthog” platform to 2030. This preserves combat power as the Defense Industrial Base works to increase combat aircraft production. Thank you to @POTUS for your unwavering support of our warfighters and quick, decisive… pic.twitter.com/zn1l3OshdY — Office of the Secretary of the Air Force (@SecAFOfficial) April 20, 2026 Earlier this week, at the request of President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of the Air Force announced that the Air Force will extend the A-10 Thunderbolt II through 2030. The service plans to keep two squadrons flying through that date: one active-duty squadron at Moody Air Force Base and one reserve squadron at Whiteman Air Force Base. Congressman Hamadeh’s BRRRRT Act would build upon and strengthen this extension by: Reinforcing the 2030 timeline and increasing the minimum number of A-10s required in the operational inventory. Supporting robust training and sustainment pipelines for the platform. Requiring that certain retired A-10s be preserved in rapidly recoverable conditions at the AMARG boneyard in Arizona to enable future surge capacity. Directing an evaluation of retaining additional A-10s in Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard wings. Examining the feasibility of selling or transferring A-10s to foreign partners, including through shared sustainment arrangements. The bill would also mandate a comprehensive report to congressional defense committees on the A-10’s combat legacy. The report will cover the aircraft’s employment from Operation Desert Storm through current operations and analyze lessons learned for future close air support doctrine. Topics would include pilot training, weapons integration, battlefield communications, and air-ground integration. Specifically, the legislation directs the Air Force to assess how elements of the A-10 mission set, command-and-control methods, and operational experience could inform emerging close air support concepts, such as human-machine teaming, autonomous collaborative aircraft, counter-drone operations, AI-enabled mission planning and targeting, digital battlefield communications, and distributed air-ground integration. “As a former U. S. Army Intelligence officer, I know that the arrival of the A-10 creates the most beautiful sound ever heard by troops under fire on the battlefield,” stated Congressman Hamadeh, who oversees fighter platform programs on the House Armed Services Committee Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces. “For too long, the military industrial complex has pushed newer, not better, leaving our troops at risk by retiring the great Warthog. The A-10 is proof that newer isn’t always better and price has nothing to do with performance.” Ethan Faverino is a reporter for AZ Free News. You can send him news tips using this link.

The February employment update for Arizona found the state added approximately 11,000 jobs month-over-month, but posted a net loss of about 300 jobs over the previous 12 months. The report ranked Arizona 24th in the nation for job growth during that period. Arizona’s unemployment rate rose to 4.6 percent, up from 4.2 percent one year earlier, while the state’s labor force participation rate declined to 61.7 percent, down 0.4 percentage points year-over-year. Nationally, the labor market continued to expand, with U.S. payrolls increasing by roughly 178,000 jobs in March, while the national unemployment rate remained lower at approximately 4.3 percent. The report indicates Arizona’s recent performance has lagged the national pace on several key labor metrics, including year-over-year job growth and unemployment trends. At the same time, the data shows continued monthly job gains in Arizona, reflecting ongoing hiring activity despite weaker longer-term growth. Other analyses have also pointed to slowing job growth in the state. A December 2025 update from the Common Sense Institute found Arizona’s job growth had moderated significantly compared to earlier post-pandemic years. Separately, the Arizona Chamber Foundation reported that job growth in 2025 was minimal following revisions to earlier employment data. Conversely, state officials have highlighted other economic indicators in recent months. Governor Katie Hobbs’ office cited a report ranking Arizona second nationally in overall economic performance, which includes measures such as population growth, domestic migration, and gross domestic product. The Joint Economic Committee report focuses specifically on labor market conditions, including employment levels, unemployment, and workforce participation.

(This title is Hegseth’s preferred alternate, authorized in an executive order last September as an unofficial secondary title; along those lines, the “Department of War” is another option for “Department of Defense.”)  In a statement, Ansari accused Hegseth of high crimes and misdemeanors against Iranians. She also accused Hegseth of abuse of office and undignified conduct, unlawful military actions, and unauthorized disclosure of classified information.  Ansari’s parents came to the U.S. from Iran. As many did, Ansari’s father overstayed a student visa to escape the Islamic Revolution. That visa was initially awarded to him in the early 1970s to attend the University of Oregon for engineering.  Ansari’s mother came approximately a decade later; Ansari told The Guardian that her mother entered as a citizen since her grandfather had completed a medical residency in the U.S. several decades prior. One of Ansari’s grandfathers was imprisoned by the regime, Ansari told The New York Times.  Ansari also told The Times that she desires a secular democracy for Iran. She has condemned the present regime for its terrorism and treatment of women.  “I can say wholeheartedly: I want to see an actual democratic state, a secular state, a state where the people have decided who their leader is,” said Ansari. “Ultimately, I do think there needs to be an internationally monitored referendum, free and fair elections, because Iran is also a very diverse country. There’s 90 million people, and it’s not just Persians. There’s, you know, Armenians, Kurds. There’s different Jews, Baha’is, Muslims. Many people are secular. There’s got to be a coalition, and there’s got to be a model that is representative of everyone.” Despite those remarks and her parents’ backgrounds, Ansari has proven through her resistance to Trump and stalwart defense of Iran to be a favorite of the Islamic regime.  The National Iranian American Council (NIAC) and Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian-Americans (PAAIA), both pro-Iran lobbyist groups, endorsed Ansari throughout her campaign for Congress.  Ansari has voiced continual opposition to U.S. involvement in the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.  In an interview with The Guardian several weeks ago, Ansari called Trump a mentally ill, evil man that deserved to be removed from office over dragging the U.S. into the war.  “There is no doubt in my mind he is mentally unstable and not all there but I also believe he is a deeply troubled, evil human being that only cares about himself and his family,” said Ansari. “He has shown that throughout his entire life. He has shown that throughout his presidency by ripping away healthcare and basic necessities from the average American, while he and his family have made billions of dollars.” AZ Free News is your #1 source for Arizona news and politics.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ef1a15059ccda1fcc2f079 Every stop on King Charles, Queen Camilla's US visit: Here's where they're traveling in America te 2026-04-27T08:11:01.049Z Every stop on King Charles, Queen Camilla's US visit: Here's where they're traveling in America King Charles III and Queen Camilla are set to travel to parts of the United States beginning Monday, with new details outlining a multi-city visit to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary of independence. The royal couple will visit Washington, D.C., New York City and Virginia from April 27 through April 30, marking King Charles’ first official state visit to the United States as monarch, Buckingham Palace announced. Queen Elizabeth II previously carried out four state visits to the U.S. in 1957, 1976, 1991 and 2007. FIRST LADY MELANIA TRUMP PRAISED FOR 'UNWAVERING COMMITMENT' TO BATTLE-SCARRED VICTIMS President Donald Trump, who will host the royal couple at the White House, said he is looking forward to the visit. Speaking to Fox News anchor Shannon Bream on "Fox News Sunday," Trump said the royals' trip to the U.S. was moving forward as planned. "King Charles is coming, and he's a great guy, and we look forward to it," Trump said. "He's really a fantastic person and a tremendous representative." In a statement to Fox News Digital on Sunday, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson confirmed that the shooting over the weekend at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, D.C., has not derailed the royals' visit.

Their trip comes during a milestone year commemorating 250 years since the United States declared independence, during the reign of the king’s ancestor, King George III. Here are some of the highly anticipated stops on King Charles III and Queen Camilla's historic visit this week. The visit begins in the nation’s capital, where King Charles and Queen Camilla are expected to be welcomed by President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump for a private tea, Reuters reported. The pair will later attend a formal White House ceremony featuring a military review of troops, followed by a state dinner hosted by the president and first lady, the White House announced in a statement.

After Washington, the king and queen will travel to New York City, where they are expected to honor the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks ahead of the 25th anniversary later this year, Fox News reported. They will meet with first responders and families of victims, in addition to other engagements in the city.

King Charles is also expected to visit a national park to meet with Indigenous communities involved in conservation efforts, while Queen Camilla will attend an event spotlighting U.S. horse racing, Fox13 reported. "He's a friend of mine for a long time. So he's coming, and we're going to have a great time. And he represents his nation like nobody else can do," Trump said, praising King Charles on "Fox News Sunday," Ashley Hume, Michael Dorgan and Brie Stimson of Fox News Digital contributed reporting.

He hung on when he first got in the race and was mocked as a sideshow. When the "Access Hollywood" tape came out. When his supporters attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6.  He outlasted two impeachments and four criminal cases. He won reelection when that seemed like a long shot. He’s the Harry Houdini of Washington.  And on Saturday night, he survived his third assassination attempt. At a dinner that was expected to feature the president mocking the media, his calm response to being targeted by a heavily armed shooter generated enormous sympathy for him. It’s a dangerous job, he said. THE LEFT'S DEHUMANIZATION OF TRUMP IS PUSHING PEOPLE OVER THE EDGE – WITH DISASTROUS CONSEQUENCES In fact, he "fought like hell" to continue with the Correspondents' Association dinner, but the Secret Service – one of whose members was shot but saved by a protective vest – insisted on clearing the room.  At the same time, Trump has such mounting political problems that it’s hard to avoid the conclusion he’s in a free fall.  The president is bogged down in an unpopular war and canceled the latest talks. Rising gas prices are inflicting pain at home. He may be losing the redistricting wars. Some of his most prominent supporters in the conservative media have turned on him with a vengeance, even apologizing for having supported him. That’s not all. The Democrats are virtually certain to win the House. They are talking about impeaching Trump the day they’re sworn in. Sure, he’d be acquitted in the Senate, but his last two years would be a blizzard of investigations and payback. REPORT GIVES NEW DETAILS ON TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT SUSPECT'S 'DESCENT INTO MADNESS' What’s more, the president can’t run again. He’ll still have the power of incumbency, but the House can block most of what he wants to do (and this is beyond the media fantasy that the opposition party could take the Senate as well). In the ever-present polls, Trump has dropped as low as 33% approval in an AP survey, his worst numbers ever. More eye-popping is a new survey with a large sample, from Strength in Numbers/Verasight, which says 21% of Republicans support impeachment, with 72% opposed. Among independents, 50% back impeaching the president.    And a Fox News poll found more respondents trusting the Democrats over the Republicans on the economy, by four points, for the first time in 15 years. This comes against the backdrop of Trump having fired three women in his Cabinet, creating a sense of disorder, and his wife giving a televised speech to deny any involvement with Jeffrey Epstein. But let’s have a reality check. Trump’s relentless attacks on the press have taken their toll, with many dismissing the coverage as fueled by personal hostility. And Democrats, with few exceptions, aren’t helping themselves by appearing to root for the Iranian terrorists when our service members are at risk. By November, the Iran war could be a distant memory. The economy might enjoy an uptick. Even now, with the ceasefire collapsing over the Strait of Hormuz blockade, the stock market has hit record highs. Trump will use his media mastery to dominate the news agenda. He already takes calls from reporters at all hours.  SHOOTING SUSPECT'S MANIFESTO CLEARLY STATED WHO HE WANTED TO TARGET, WHITE HOUSE SAYS The Democrats, meanwhile, are leaderless. Even if Hakeem Jeffries is speaker, the president will make far more news. That won’t change until the 2028 primaries, when a front-runner or two emerges. Trump can make news with executive orders, such as moving marijuana to a lower classification and boosting research into psychedelic drugs. The betrayal being voiced by his onetime allies on the right, who embraced his pledge of no new foreign wars, may be less important for those not immersed in the online world. But it is a bellwether for the splintering of the MAGA coalition. Now some of its leading members are calling him erratic and reckless. No one is loving this more than the Democrats and the Never Trumpers, who say wait, you’re just noticing this now? We’ve been telling you this for years. "Trump looks desperate to run for the hills," says New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd. "He constantly says he has defeated the mullahs and ‘obliterated’ their military power, and yet Iran refuses to be subdued." SEE PHOTOS: BEFORE AND AFTER SHOOTING AT WH CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER What’s obvious, says veteran columnist Andrew Sullivan: "Trump is completely out of his depth. He went to war impulsively. He never expected the Iranians to close the Strait of Hormuz; and then they did. And he can’t re-open it. In fact, he decided to close it again. Or something." Throw in the AI image of Trump as Jesus, which offended many Catholics, and the list of unforced errors just grows. He’s even attacked the Supreme Court, a third of which he appointed. And there is growing concern about the health of the president, who will soon turn 80, with television running footage every time he closes his eyes at a meeting. Trump regularly talks about building his massive ballroom, which reminds people of his surprise demolition of the East Wing and plans for a monument that would dwarf the Arc de Triomphe. He brought it up after the gunfire on Saturday night, saying the ballroom would be bulletproof and extremely secure. Trump also used the gunfire at the Washington Hilton to underscore his own importance. Having studied assassinations, he said, "the most impactful people, the people that do the most… they’re the ones they go after." Politically speaking, Trump is clearly struggling. But anyone who rules out a rebound for this president is ignoring history. There will be all kinds of twists and turns in the remaining six months before the midterms, and the Democrats are unpopular as well.  But here’s a moment of rare consensus: We can all be grateful that the Secret Service did its job well.

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

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

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

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

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

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

And it’s overwhelmingly due to their own actions and statements. There are books' worth of examples worth of examples. Such as the early part of the pandemic when they flip-flopped on masks, from claiming that they didn’t work to stating that getting 80% of the public to wear them would end the pandemic in a matter of weeks, to their claims that the lab leak was a racist conspiracy theory, and all the way to absurdities such as predicting the Super Bowl in Florida would be a "superspreader event." Or the mass panic when states like Mississippi and Texas ended their mask mandates, or when the mandate on airplanes was lifted…and nothing happened afterward. But certainly nothing may have damaged their trust more than the steadfast assertions that the COVID vaccines were able to stop infection and transmission. And one study and analysis from a heavily credentialed group of experts on the vaccines shows how committed they were to misleading people in order to suit their political and ideological aims. An analysis conducted by extremely experienced academics published at the Commonwealth Fund exemplifies this practice. Claiming that COVID vaccines were miraculous treatments that prevented millions of cases and millions of deaths. But first, it’s important to define what the "Commonwealth Fund is" and how organizations like this serve a very specific purpose. Directly from their website they describe their mission as to "promote a high-performing, equitable health care system that achieves better access, improved quality, and greater efficiency, particularly for society’s most vulnerable, including people of color, people with low income, and those who are uninsured." Equity, of course, means equal outcomes, not equal opportunities. It’s a key tenant of left-wing organizations. And knowing that about this organization, you may already be able to guess what the results of this study will be. Sure enough, their writers are a near-perfect exemplification of the NGO industrial complex. TOP DEMS CLAIM 51K PEOPLE WILL DIE ANNUALLY FROM THE 'BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL' AND ITS OBAMACARE FREEZE Hard to imagine a better group of "experts" than that to work on an NGO funded study on COVID vaccines, right? Well, therein lies the problem. The organization seeks a specific outcome, "COVID vaccines saved millions of lives and millions of cases," and sure enough, they got exactly the one they wanted. And boy oh boy is that outcome a doozy. This crack team of highly experienced academics created a model, of course they did, to estimate the effectiveness of COVID vaccines at preventing infection, hospitalization, and deaths. With some stunning results. LOUISIANA SURGEON GENERAL WANTS TO 'DEPOLITICIZE MEDICINE' BY ENDING STATEWIDE MASS VACCINATIONS "From December 2020 through November 2022," they write, "we estimate that the COVID-19 vaccination program in the U.S. prevented more than 18.5 million additional hospitalizations and 3.2 million additional deaths." That’s impressive enough already, but it gets even better! "Without vaccination, there would have been nearly 120 million more COVID-19 infections," they continue. "The vaccination program also saved the U.S. $1.15 trillion (Credible Interval: $1.10 trillion–$1.19 trillion) (data not shown) in medical costs that would otherwise have been incurred." I'M A PHYSICIAN AND I'M WORRIED THAT OUR HEALTH AGENCIES ARE FACING INCREASING CHAOS It’s seriously worth diving into their claims, but put simply, these numbers are not possible. And they purposefully ignore data and evidence that makes them impossible in order to get the outcome they and the Commonwealth Fund wanted to see. Let’s take their most important claim, that there would have been 3.2 million "additional deaths" from COVID if not for the COVID vaccines. Sure enough, there’s a very easy way to debunk that claim. While the vaccines hit the market in December 2020, uptake was extremely minimal until early in 2021. Which means virtually all COVID-related deaths that occurred in 2020 happened pre-vaccination, with little-to-no natural immunity among the population, and a more virulent original strain that had not yet mutated to become less dangerous. Well, the CDC estimates that there were roughly 350,000 COVID-related deaths in the United States. That started in February-March, so it wasn’t a complete year, but it’s relatively close. There is no possible outcome on earth in which there were 350,000 COVID deaths in 10-11 months before natural immunity and that there would have been an "additional" 3.2 million in just 2021 and January-November 2022. In fact, the World Health Organization reports just over 7 million deaths total - from 2020-2026. Not in the United States, but the entire world. An additional 3.2 million implies a level of severity that COVID simply does not possess. But that’s how models work. The authors told the model to assume COVID would kill a certain percentage of people, they also told the model that the vaccines had a certain percentage of effectiveness, and thus got the outcome they wanted. WATCHDOG TARGETS TAXPAYER-FUNDED NATIONAL ACADEMIES OVER DEI, CLIMATE AND TRANSGENDER SPENDING In 2021, the CDC estimated approximately 460,000 COVID-related deaths in the United States, with roughly 244,000 in 2022. This assessment implies that over 4 million people would have died from COVID in less than two years. That’s 1.22% of the entire U.S. population in 2021-2022. Except we know, from actual data-related research, that the infection fatality rate from COVID was far below that. As that study concluded, "The median IFR was 0.0003% at 0–19 years, 0.002% at 20–29 years, 0.011% at 30–39 years, 0.035% at 40–49 years, 0.123% at 50–59 years, and 0.506% at 60–69 years." It’s simply impossible for 1.22% of the US population to die in two years from COVID because COVID is not deadly enough for that to happen. The other claim, that 120 million cases were avoided is, again, impossible. Why? Because COVID infects everyone, regardless of vaccination status. Which is why places like South Korea confirmed nearly 70% of their population got COVID, the vast majority in 2021-2022, despite 90+% vaccination rates. Or another study from Denmark which found that nearly 70% of the population got COVID in a matter of months from 2021-2022, despite 90+% vaccination rates. The hospitalization estimates are equally absurd, implying that one in 18 additional Americans would have required hospitalization for COVID from December 2020–November 2022. The actual number was roughly 4.6 million, meaning that their total estimate of hospitalizations would have been 23.1 million hospitalizations or nearly 7% of the US population. 1 in 14. That’s obviously insane. This is the problem with academics, experts, and NGOs. They all wanted a headline. They wanted an outcome. They made sure they got it. These experts placed inputs into their model that were simply not supported by any reasonable data or evidence, because they wanted the model to show that the COVID vaccines saved an enormous number of lives, hospitalizations, deaths, as well as money. That’s what they got. And they discredited themselves in the process. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Oh, and speaking of money, the entire outlay of the U.S. government in 2021 was $6.82 trillion and $6.27 billion in 2022. They thought that the vaccines saved $1.15 trillion in healthcare spending alone in that timeframe. This has to be one of the worst models ever created. Of course it came from highly credentialed health experts and a powerful NGO. Of course it did. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69eeb2e2059ccda1fcc2d4d5 Hormuz crisis spurs $24B Iraq trade corridor as Gulf routes shift te 2026-04-27T00:50:42.749Z Hormuz crisis spurs $24B Iraq trade corridor as Gulf routes shift The Strait of Hormuz crisis is driving nations’ efforts to develop alternative Gulf-to-Europe trade routes, with Iraq’s $24 billion "Development Road" project at the forefront, analyst says. The route from Iraq’s Grand Faw Port to Turkey and on to Europe, is advancing "with discipline," Middle East Council on Global Affairs analyst Muhanad Seloom told Fox News Digital, calling it a "permanent" and "transformative" wartime shift. Seloom’s comments came as President Donald Trump warned Tehran against further escalation in the Gulf and signaled the U.S. is prepared to act to keep the strait open. Iranian forces have laid mines and threatened commercial traffic in the narrow waterway. As of Sunday, the shipping route remains effectively closed. IRAN IS 'TRYING TO GIVE THE GLOBAL ECONOMY A HEART ATTACK' BY CLOSING STRAIT OF HORMUZ, UAE MINISTER SAYS "Iraq’s Development Road means every container moving through Basra instead of Iranian-controlled waters is a reduction in Tehran’s leverage over Iraq," said Seloom. "The real scale, independent estimates put the Development Road closer to $24 billion, and the project is now moving with discipline," he said. Iraq’s Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani inaugurated the first 63-kilometer stretch of the Development Road in 2025. Phase 1 is due for completion by 2028. "What was described by the Iraqi government as a flagship of Iraqi statecraft now has a regional rationale that governments and financiers treat as essential rather than aspirational," Seloom, an assistant professor at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, explained. "Sudani seems to be positioning Iraq exactly where he thinks its geography always suggested, as a connecting state between the Gulf, Turkey and Europe," he said. WATCH SHIPPING THROUGH THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ GRIND TO A HALT AMID IRAN CONFLICT But other regional infrastructure, Seloom says, is also being pushed forward in parallel. Saudi Arabia’s East-West Petroline pipeline is operating near its 7 million-barrel-per-day capacity, with expansion plans under review. The UAE’s ADCOP pipeline to Fujairah is also at maximum use, with a second line under discussion, he said. "Turkey’s Zangezur and Middle Corridors bypass Iran via the Caucasus and are four to five years out." He added: "Six Gulf-backed overland fiber projects are also underway through Syria, Iraq and the Horn of Africa." Iran reimposed closure measures on the Strait of Hormuz on April 18, reducing traffic to just a handful of vessels per day compared with a pre-war average of roughly 130 to 140. The restrictions, including on ships, have come under fire in recent days, and interceptions trace back to the start of the war on Feb. 28, when Tehran first moved to block transit following U.S.-Israeli strikes. IRAN WAR, 11 DAYS IN: US CONTROLS SKIES, OIL SURGES AND THE REGION BRACES FOR WHAT’S NEXT "Hormuz remains indispensable for energy, but it is no longer treated as a default. That shift is permanent given the war," Seloom said. For Iraq’s corridor, it is "potentially transformative," Seloom said, with $4 billion per year in projected transit revenue and a repositioning from an oil rentier state to a logistics state. "Turkey will be the single largest beneficiary. Combined with the Zangezur and Middle Corridors, Ankara becomes the overland bridge between Asia and Europe," he said. "Europe will have an additional overland option on a 2028-plus timeline, but nothing for the current crisis. It marginally reduces structural dependence on the unreliable Suez–Red Sea axis."

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

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

And hearing you speak, Eugene, if it’s coming from the right and it’s coming from the left, these conspiracy theories, it says to me that there feels to be a lack of trust in this country," Capehart said. Fox News Digital reached out to the WHCA and White House for comment. Authorities identified the suspect as 31-year-old Cole Allen, of Torrance, Calif., adding that he prepared a manifesto outlining his intent and shared anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric on social media. Senior federal law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News that he intended to target Trump administration officials at the event.

And that’s probably how it should be. The jersey Gretzky wore during Game 4 of the 1988 Stanley Cup Final just sold for a staggering $2,806,000, setting a new all-time record for a hockey jersey.  CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE FROM OUTKICK That same jersey — worn during his final championship run with the Edmonton Oilers — had previously held the record, selling for $1.452 million back in 2022.  Not anymore. This isn’t just any game-worn sweater, either. It was worn during Gretzky’s final Stanley Cup run in 1988. Photo-matching later confirmed he wore it in multiple games, including Games 1 and 4 of the Final. It’s tied to one of the strangest moments in NHL history. Game 4 against the Boston Bruins was famously canceled mid-game due to a power outage at Boston Garden with the score tied 3-3.  Two days later, the teams replayed the game, and the Oilers closed it out with a 6-3 win to complete the sweep and secure Gretzky’s fourth and final Stanley Cup. JOHN ELWAY, A YANKEES DRAFT PICK, GETS OWN BASEBALL CARD WITH HELP FROM 'SEINFELD' CO-CREATOR LARRY DAVID He finished that postseason with 43 points in 19 games and took home the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. But wait, there’s more. This jersey is also connected to another milestone. Gretzky wore it in a March 1, 1988, game where he recorded his 1,050th career assist, passing Gordie Howe for the NHL record at the time. By the time he retired in 1999, Gretzky had piled up 1,963 assists — still 700+ more than any player in NHL history. Shortly after that 1988 Cup run, Gretzky was traded to the Los Angeles Kings. He went on to play 20 seasons in the NHL before retiring in 1999, when he was immediately inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame with the waiting period waived.  And now, nearly three decades later, he’s still setting records.

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

Trump, his wife and several administration officials were quickly evacuated out of the dinner, abruptly ending the event.

Allen initially speaks with police before refusing to talk as of Sunday morning, according to authorities. Authorities execute search warrants Sunday in Los Angeles and Washington, including at a hotel room where the suspect was staying, Blanche said. Investigators review devices and communications recovered during the searches. Blanche added that it appears Allen bought the guns in "the past couple of years."

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

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

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

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

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ee8428059ccda1fcc2cdea Iran turmoil erupts: Ultra-hardliner who mocked Trump poised to take over nuclear talks te 2026-04-26T21:31:20.944Z Iran turmoil erupts: Ultra-hardliner who mocked Trump poised to take over nuclear talks Further signs of turmoil are emerging in Iran’s U.S. negotiating team as hardliner Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf looks set to be replaced by a veteran conservative known for rejecting nuclear concessions, according to reports. Iran International reported April 24 that Saeed Jalili, 60 — who already leads what has been described as a "shadow government" — is expected to succeed Ghalibaf following his sudden departure amid internal disputes. Jalili also heads Iran’s ultra-hardline faction known as the Stability Front (Paydari), which is known to be a "bastion of ultraconservatism in Iran," according to reports. Ali Safavi, an official with the Iranian opposition coalition, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), told Fox News Digital that Jalili "has evolved from a nuclear negotiator to an influential actor within the regime." TRUMP'S LATEST HIRES AND FIRES RANKLE IRAN HAWKS AS NEW PRESIDENT SUGGESTS NUCLEAR DEAL Ghalibaf was reportedly forced to step down after attempting to bring the nuclear issue into talks with Washington, a move that triggered backlash within Iran’s political establishment. President Donald Trump had called off plans for U.S. envoys to travel to Pakistan for peace talks with Iran on April 25. The rivalry between Jalili and Ghalibaf is said to span more than a decade and intensified during the 2024 elections, when Jalili refused to step aside, contributing to the victory of President Masoud Pezeshkian. Safavi said, "The increased visibility of latent divisions stems from recurring nationwide uprisings, deep economic crises and the pressures of war, all of which have intensified internal feuding. "Far from signaling transformation, these developments reflect accelerating erosion and mounting pressure, deepening fractures and leaving the regime ever weaker and more vulnerable," he added. EXILED PRINCE LOOKS TO LEAD IRANIAN PEOPLE IN ENDING ISLAMIC REPUBLIC: 'OUR BERLIN WALL MOMENT' Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is also seeking a continued leading role in negotiations, highlighting competing centers of influence over Iran’s diplomatic strategy, sources said. Araghchi is in Islamabad, Pakistan, after returning from a short trip to Muscat, Oman, where he is holding high-level diplomatic talks on the conflict. Reports indicate Araghchi will travel to Moscow. Jalili’s potential appointment, however, signals a hardening of Iran’s stance, with more emphasis on resistance over compromise. "Within this regime, there are a number of constants espoused by all factions," Safavi said before highlighting that these were "repression, the export of terrorism and the pursuit of nuclear weapons." "The factions all ultimately move along a common path: the preservation of power. They differ in methods, not in objectives," Safavi cautioned. IRANIAN-AMERICANS AND DISSIDENTS RALLIED AGAINST 'MURDEROUS REGIME AGENTS' AS IRAN'S PRESIDENT ADDRESSED UNGA Jalili, meanwhile, served as Iran’s top nuclear negotiator from 2007 to 2013 under President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and later ran for president three times. He also served as secretary of the Supreme National Security Council. A former member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Jalili lost his right leg at 21 during the Iran-Iraq War, earning him the title of "Living Martyr". The Paydari Front, which he is associated with, opposes engagement with the West — particularly the 2015 nuclear deal — and advocates a doctrine of "active resistance." During Hassan Rouhani’s presidency, Jalili also established a "shadow government" to counter the administration’s policies, especially the nuclear deal. On April 7, he wrote on X: "Yes — ‘infrastructure’ is on the verge of collapse; the infrastructure of domination and the American order. And after that, a better foundation will be built." A day earlier, he posted: "‘Shut up’ is not the appropriate response to Trump’s ramblings; let him speak more. Nothing is more effective in laying bare the true nature of the United States than Trump’s outbursts." "In dealing with this regime," Safavi said, "we must bear in mind that in the 45 years since the mullahs consolidated their rule in 1981 by crushing all peaceful political life, so-called reformists have governed for nearly half that time — presiding over some of its darkest crimes." "These include the 1988 massacre of 30,000 political prisoners, the assassination of dissidents abroad, the chain murders of intellectuals inside Iran and the relentless pursuit of nuclear weapons."

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

Not when she could be spending it at the Stagecoach music festival. The 30-year-old didn’t face that battle head on to attend the country music festival quietly either. Nobody would. That's why when she was presented with an opportunity to dress up as a cowgirl and post it on social media, she took it, and you can't blame her. As Brittany has explained before, life as an NFL WAG who turned that into an appearance on a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover isn't as easy as it sounds. There's a lot that goes into being the wife of Patrick Mahomes. "I think being the significant other to an NFL player is an incredibly hard role, and we take on a lot of important stuff behind the scenes that people don’t get to see," Brittany told Sports Illustrated in February. "We also get to enjoy life and do things that we love, too." ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Sure, a $450 million-plus extension helps.

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

She posed for a photo she shared on Instagram with Bryson DeChambeau, a supporter of her grandfather and fellow YouTuber, and his caddie, Greg Bodine.

He finished one shot ahead of Scottie Scheffler, who finished 11-under for the week after going 4-under in his final round on Sunday. Russell Henley, Cam Young, Tyrell Hatton and Justin Rose, who lost to McIlroy in a playoff at last year’s Masters, all finished tied for third place at 10-under.

Depending on who you ask, it's either his greatest superpower or the biggest knock against him. Most would have to agree that his latest social media endeavor was a swing and a miss.

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

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

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

It hosted the exact kind of three-day football festival the league has been chasing for years, and it did it on a massive scale. The 2026 draft footprint stretched across Point State Park and Acrisure Stadium (still Heinz Field in the hearts of civilized people) and by the end of the weekend, the city had hosted one of the biggest football parties in human history. The final attendance number was absurd: 805,000 fans over three days, per the league's entry count. That broke the all-time draft record and moved Pittsburgh past Detroit’s 775,000 from 2024. Pittsburgh also set a Round 1 record with more than 320,000 fans on Thursday night alone. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Before the event, NFL officials and event organizers projected Pittsburgh would welcome 500,000 to 700,000 fans. Instead, it blew past the high end of that range and climbed above Green Bay and Nashville, which each drew about 600,000 in 2025 and 2019, respectively. At this point, the NFL is not even pretending the draft is about the handful of prospects sitting in the green room. Pittsburgh had 16 prospects attend in person, but the real stars were the fans flooding the North Shore and Point State Park. That's not a complaint, either. The league figured out that turning the draft into an outdoor festival is better business, better television and, frankly, better for the cities that get to host it. So now the obvious question is whether any city can actually take this thing to 1 million. Most cities? No. Not even close. The NFL has held the draft in 10 different cities since leaving New York following the 2014 version. Pittsburgh set the record with 805,000 attendees, meaning 1 million would require the most-attended draft to increase attendance by nearly 25%. But 1 million people is not just a big number; it would push the NFL Draft into a new stratosphere with regard to public events. To get there, a city needs a gigantic outdoor footprint, real tourism appeal, public transit, adequate hotel inventory, and a backdrop that makes people want to show up even if their team is picking 24th and taking an offensive lineman. There is one city that feels like it has a chance, and the NFL already has it lined up. The 2027 draft is headed to Washington, D.C., where the event is scheduled to use the National Mall and Pennsylvania Avenue. In the official announcement and White House event around it, Roger Goodell said the league believes attendance will be "well over a million" over three days, and Commanders owner Josh Harris said he believes the event will get over a million people. That's why Pittsburgh’s impressive record might not last more than a year. The National Mall is a different animal from a normal downtown draft footprint. If the weather cooperates and the setup works the way the league believes it can, D.C. has a legitimate shot to become the first seven-figure NFL Draft city. That's an important caveat, though. Weather in the northeast in April is notoriously unpredictable. Rain, and even snow (or just freezing temperatures), are not out of the question and could quickly put a damper on the hopes of a record-breaking performance. FERNANDO MENDOZA, THE NO 1 PICK OF NFL DRAFT TO THE RAIDERS, TASKED WITH RETURNING A LEGACY FRANCHISE TO GLORY Beyond D.C., the list gets very short. Remember that the league wants the NFL Draft in cities that have an NFL franchise and, generally, are unlikely to host a Super Bowl. A city like Los Angeles might be able to do it, based on sheer volume and perfect weather, but LA is a frequent Super Bowl host. Nashville is still the blueprint for pure draft atmosphere and drew more than 600,000 when it hosted in 2019. Philadelphia’s 2017 event pulled 250,000 and helped prove the outdoor model could work in the first place. Green Bay then showed that even the league’s smallest market could hit 600,000-plus if the event is built the right way. Those are enormous numbers. But they also show just how hard 1 million really is. So yes, Pittsburgh broke the record. And yes, a city can probably surpass 1 million. But the answer is not "any city." Right now, it looks like that city is the capital of the United States. Will it happen? Fortunately, fans only have to wait one year to find out. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ee67f8059ccda1fcc2ca1b Pete Crow-Armstrong has worst day ever at Dodger Stadium after trash talking LA fans te 2026-04-26T19:31:04.767Z Pete Crow-Armstrong has worst day ever at Dodger Stadium after trash talking LA fans Pete Crow-Armstrong just can’t get out of his own way.  Over the offseason, the Chicago Cubs outfielder inexplicably made some derogatory comments about fans of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Made even more inexplicable by his own background. In an interview with Chicago Magazine earlier in 2026, he said, "I love Chicago more and more. It’s just an incredible city. The people are great. They give a s***. They aren’t just baseball fans who go to the game like Dodgers fans to take pictures and whatever. They are paying attention. They care." ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Here’s the thing about that. It is, of course, wrong. The Dodgers have led the league in attendance every single season for the past decade. But PCA wasn’t done there. "What I wish people could see through is, I’m not getting at die-hard Dodger fans," he said. "They obviously exist, they’re out there. I grew up seeing those people, too, but it’s a see-me city, man. It’s a Lakers city where people show up to sit courtside and look good. And I view it the same way here." Here’s the thing about this: PCA is telling on himself. For those who don’t know, he grew up the son of two successful actors. Then attended Harvard-Westlake, an elite private school in Studio City where tuition currently runs nearly $55,000 per year, for seventh grade and up. The reason he thinks LA is a "courtside," "see-me" city is because that’s who he is, and who he knows. He’s a rich kid who only ever knew other rich kids. Well, that rich kid who trashed Dodgers fans had just about the worst imaginable day at Dodger Stadium on Saturday afternoon. And the fans, when they could tear themselves away from taking photos, loved it. While the Cubs took the first game of the three-game series, the second quickly spiraled for Chicago — and PCA was right in the middle of it. He struck out leading off the top of the third inning. Then struck out again leading off the top of the fifth inning. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE The bottom of the fifth inning though, was the play of the game.  Alex Freeland drilled a high, deep fly ball to center field that sent PCA back to the warning track where he…well, made just about one of the worst reads or defensive plays you’ll ever see. Makes you wonder if he was too distracted by all the photos being taken in the stands to pick up the ball. With the Cubs now trailing 8-4, and the game on the line, Crow-Armstrong came up in the top of the sixth with one out and the bases loaded, meaning he represented the tying run. And then he promptly struck out for the third time, swinging over a slider from reliever Jack Dreyer.  He had one more at-bat though, a chance to redeem himself after a tough game. And in the top of the eighth inning, with a runner in scoring position, he struck out swinging on three straight pitches. That's 0-4 with four strikeouts, nine swings and misses, and an awful defensive misplay. It’s hard to do much worse than that.  PCA was given a chance to clarify his comments during the series, and then promptly told the Los Angeles Times that he likes playing in front of his home fans better than road fans. "Each fan base has their own personality," he said. "And I was really just comparing my own two experiences: playing for the Cubs, and people showing up and enjoying it, and there’s just an air about the place; and then here, it is what it is like, maybe if I played here, it’d be different. But I don’t." Gee, what a brilliant observation. He gets treated better by Cubs fans than Dodgers fans because he plays for the Cubs. Has to be the first player to ever notice this, right?  And again, his observations are, to put it mildly, factually inaccurate. Here's a photo from the Wrigley Field bleachers posted to Instagram just a few days ago. Here's another one, posted three days ago during the middle of an inning with players on the field. This isn't to pick on Cubs fans, though of course, Wrigley Field is far more of a tourist attraction for generic baseball fans who aren't interested in the game at hand than Dodger Stadium. It's to highlight that taking photos and looking at smartphones at sporting events has become a part of the modern gameday experience. And acting as though one fan base is worse in this regard than any other is absurd. St. Louis Cardinals fans, for decades, were routinely described as the "best in baseball." Now that the team is in a rebuilding phase, they're in the bottom half of the league in attendance behind franchises with little-praised fan bases like the Arizona Diamondbacks. The San Diego Padres, never praised as an elite fan base, now sell out the vast majority of their games. Fans are fans. They like winning and don't want to pay money to support losing. Though maybe Pete Crow-Armstrong was too concerned about being "seen" with star patterns dyed into his hair to realize it. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ee67e4059ccda1fcc2ca12 The White House and Buckingham Palace: A special relationship te 2026-04-26T19:30:44.954Z The White House and Buckingham Palace: A special relationship In advance of King Charles' upcoming visit to Washington, D.C., it's worth looking back at the long relationship between the White House and Buckingham Palace. While American presidents and British royals are fast friends today, this was not always the case. King George III, of course, was the villain in our story of the American Revolution, and he was still in the picture during the War of 1812, in which British troops burned the White House to the ground. In the middle of the 19th century, Queen Victoria became a heroine to some, but a villainess to others, when she read the anti-slavery novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin" aloud to the royal family. Abolitionists may have liked this, but it was less favorably received in the slaveholding South. Things began to change in the late 19th century due to both technological and diplomatic advancements. The United States and Britain began to recognize common interests, and transatlantic travel and communication became easier. KING CHARLES URGES 'DIGITAL DETOX,' RECONCILIATION IN CHRISTMAS SPEECH AFTER YEAR OF ROYAL DRAMA By 1903, when former President Theodore Roosevelt broadcast the first transatlantic message over the radio, he directed it to Britain's King Edward VII, saying: "In taking advantage of the wonderful triumph of research and ingenuity which has been achieved in perfecting a system of wireless telegraphy, I extend on behalf of the American people most cordial greetings and good wishes to you and all the people of the British Empire." In the 1910s, the U.S. and Britain grew closer as allies against Germany in World War I. In 1939, King George VI made the first visit of a British royal to the White House, visiting former President Franklin D. Roosevelt. KING CHARLES, PRINCE HARRY AT POINT OF 'NO TURNING BACK' AS MONARCH REFUSES RECONCILIATION: EXPERT The U.S. still had a bit of an anti-royal chip on its shoulder, though. Roosevelt famously served hot dogs to the king and queen to show his connection to the common man. Our nations became even closer as a result of our alliance in both World War II and in the subsequent Cold War. Improvements in transatlantic travel meant that visits by presidents to London and royals to Washington became semiregular events. In her 70-year reign from 1952 to 2022, Queen Elizabeth II met 13 of the 14 presidents who held office during that period. This included every sitting U.S. president from Dwight D. Eisenhower to Joe Biden, with the sole exception of Lyndon B. Johnson. ‘GLADIATOR II’ STAR DENZEL WASHINGTON HAS AWKWARD ENCOUNTER WITH KING CHARLES Although the queen’s role was now largely ceremonial, sometimes there was a diplomatic component to her visits as well. When she visited Eisenhower in 1957, she helped smooth over tensions that had emerged between Britain and the U.S. as a result of the Suez Crisis. Sometimes there was a larger, more public element to her visits. In 1976, Queen Elizabeth spoke at the White House while visiting former President Gerald Ford during U.S. bicentennial celebrations, perhaps demonstrating that Britain had finally gotten over things from 1776. In recent decades, nearly every president has had some interaction with the royal family: Prince Charles' wife, Lady Diana, famously danced with actor John Travolta at a White House event during the Reagan administration in 1985. KING CHARLES HAUNTED BY PRINCE ANDREW AS 'GRUBBY' DUKE HUMILIATES MONARCHY IN 'YEAR FROM HELL': EXPERTS Queen Elizabeth also granted former President Ronald Reagan an honorary knighthood in 1989, after he left office. Former President George H.W. Bush had the queen on his legendary 30,000-person Christmas card list. In December 2000, with the presidential election to determine his successor still in doubt, former President Bill Clinton had tea with Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace. When I served in the George W. Bush White House, I remember Karl Rove telling a very funny story from his stay at Buckingham Palace with Bush and forgetting a pair of socks. At an early morning White House senior staff meeting, Rove did an uproarious imitation of a palace attendant presenting a new pair of socks to the "Right Honourable Mr. Rove" on a silver tray. Sometimes there have been diplomatic snafus: former President Barack Obama got some pushback for gifting the queen an iPod in 2009. It turns out that she already had one. Biden got better grades for giving her a sterling silver box from Tiffany & Co. with personalized engravings. And now, as King Charles embarks on his first visit to the U.S. in President Donald Trump's second term, the U.S. and Britain are in the midst of a disagreement over the war with Iran. Charles is not a political ruler, but perhaps his visit, like his mother's in 1957, can smooth over tensions and help maintain the special relationship America has long had with the United Kingdom. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ee60dc059ccda1fcc2c90d Ex-NYPD inspector warns social media likely helped political violence ‘metastasize’ into WHCD scare te 2026-04-26T19:00:44.606Z Ex-NYPD inspector warns social media likely helped political violence ‘metastasize’ into WHCD scare A lone gunman’s alleged attempt to storm the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday is the latest sign of a "metastasizing" wave of political violence fueled by social media, retired NYPD inspector Paul Mauro warned Sunday. "This reminds me a bit of what it was like at the height of the [post-9/11] 'age of terrorism', or 'age of counterterrorism...'" Mauro told "Fox & Friends Weekend." "As it began to metastasize [beyond Afghanistan]... it began to permeate the internet, and that's the great common denominator here, is the rise of the internet, and the rise of social media specifically, has allowed this ideology to disseminate into corners where previously it would not have found so much support," he added. Mauro's remarks came after authorities said 31-year-old suspect Cole Thomas Allen allegedly rushed a Secret Service checkpoint at the White House Correspondents' Dinner armed with multiple weapons. JOURNALIST SALENA ZITO REVEALS WHAT TRUMP SUPPORTERS MEANT WHEN THEY TURNED ON THE CAMERAS AT THE BUTLER Allen then allegedly opened fire on a Secret Service officer, who was taken to the hospital after he was shot in his ballistic vest. Agents reportedly fired back at Allen, who was not struck. He was also taken to the hospital. Senior federal law enforcement sources with knowledge of the investigation told Fox News that Allen told law enforcement after his arrest that he was targeting Trump administration officials. SECRET SERVICE IN LINE OF FIRE AT WHCA SHOOTING STILL UNPAID DUE TO DEM-LED SHUTDOWN Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche did not specify which officials were Allen's intended targets during a Sunday NBC News appearance. Lawmakers and authorities have since condemned the suspect's actions and have called for rhetoric to be toned down to prevent similar incidents. "Almost any [person] these days can find some place, some niche on the internet that will support your position," Mauro said. "And I think once the search warrants are completed and the computers and phones are scrubbed, etc., we are almost certainly going to see that the accused here, Cole Allen, was probably imbibing that kind of ideology online, and he decided to act on it because people were telling him it's the right thing to do." Similar warnings followed the 2024 assassination attempts against President Donald Trump and the Sept. 2025 assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk on a Utah college campus. Trump and all other administration officials present at Saturday's dinner were safely ushered out of the venue.

In her "Getting Naked" podcast on Wednesday titled "Know Your Narcissist," Bertinelli revealed that she didn’t even realize she was dealing with narcissism in her own romantic relationships until several years ago after first recognizing it in the fraught political climate. "I don’t want to throw anybody that’s been in my life under a bus, I just want to talk about experiences that have been challenging and made me question my self-worth," the "One Day at a Time" star told her guest Dr. Ramani Durvasula, a psychologist and author. "When we know who we are, Valerie, when someone is coming at us like the way that narcissistic people do, we can be a lot more steadfast," the doctor advised. "The only way a narcissistic relationship works is if we abandon ourselves." VALERIE BERTINELLI SAYS SHE'S 'REALLY SCARED' OF DATING, ISSUES WARNING ON 'VULNERABILITY' Bertinelli agreed with her assessment, admitting that in the narcissistic relationships she’d been involved in, "I totally abandoned myself to a point where my family was like ‘Where are you? We need you? Come back to us.’" She said while she was in the relationships, she didn’t feel that way. "You feel truly like you’re just going to make this person happy," the 66-year-old explained. "You know you can do it. ‘I know I can make them happy. I know if I work hard enough, I can make them happy. I know that I don’t want to be selfish. I don’t want to hurt them, so if they’re telling me that I’m doing these things. I can make myself better.’" 'GROWING PAINS' STAR TRACEY GOLD SAYS TV MOM JOANNA KERNS HELPED SAVE HER LIFE DURING ANOREXIA BATTLE When Durvasula noted that it’s human to want "intimate relationships," Bertinelli joked: "Well, I did. I'm not so much want[ing] that right now." Durvasula revealed that "a lot of the core of narcissism is this insecurity, this fragility." Bertinelli interjected to say that the narcissists she’s known, though, "seem like they're not insecure. They're so like — it's magnetizing to see someone that sure of themselves," and Durvasula explained that narcissists "are good at what we call expressed self-confidence," essentially being know-it-alls. RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS FRONT MAN'S GIRLFRIEND OF THE '90S WAS 'RATTLED FOR YEARS' BY HIS HEROIN ADDICTION The doctor further explained that the traits of a narcissist encompass low empathy, arrogance, entitlement, grandiosity and pathological selfishness. "They can only center [around] themselves," she added. "They're status seeking. So, they want whatever is going to make them look powerful to the world. They are not able to tolerate things like frustration, disappointment, stress, or anything that doesn't sort of prop up that grandiose sort of fantasy of them. They're driven very much by power, domination, control. They need to be the ones on top." And those traits, she explained, show up as "manipulation, invalidation, dismissiveness, gaslighting, rage, silent treatment, competitiveness, making us small so they can feel big, betrayal, promising things that they never follow through on." CHELSEA HANDLER RIPS MARRIAGE AS ‘OUTDATED,’ SAYS SHE PRIORITIZES FREEDOM Prefacing her analysis of her own past relationships with "I can only speak about my own experience and being very careful not to," Bertinelli said: "I would never ever think that that person had any of those traits, but the way that they showed up was, oh boy, all of the things you said." She added that she wanted her podcast to help people from "falling into that trap." "I have a little joke that it's just like, ‘OK, somebody's got to tell me every single different kind of narcissist there is out there because I need to know what to not fall into.’" she said. "Again, I even talked to my therapist. I said, 'Please tell me what red flags are exactly so I can keep an eye out for them.'" VALERIE BERTINELLI SLAMS CRITICS WHO ‘HARSHLY’ JUDGED HER SKIN-BARING UNDERWEAR SNAP She noted that in a past relationship someone she didn’t name had repeatedly told her she was a narcissist and that she was hurting them. "And I was like, ‘Well, I don't want to be hurting people. I don't want to be selfish. I don't want to do all these things. Please, God, tell me.’ And I'm like, at a certain point, I said: ‘I don't understand why you're with me. Like I can't do anything right,’" she said. But the doctor explained to her that person was manipulating her. VALERIE BERTINELLI ADMITS THAT EDDIE VAN HALEN AND TOM VITALE SPLITS WERE ‘COMPLETELY DIFFERENT’ "‘You will be lovable if you do the things I'm telling you to do,’" she said a narcissist would tell her. "That's the twist." Bertinelli also suggested the person had told her she prioritizes her son, Wolfgang Van Halen, too much, which Durvasula described as a great example of low empathy, when a romantic partner can’t understand that a relationship with your child is a different kind of love. She added that when Bertinelli thought she was building intimacy with the person by opening up, "you were basically filling an armory with weapons that they were going to use against you." FORMER CHILD STAR JENNETTE MCCURDY REVEALS GROOMING ‘RED FLAG’ SHE MISSED DATING OLDER MAN AT 18 Bertinelli said now if she sees any sign of "love bombing," where people flatter the other person to manipulate them, she can’t tell if it’s genuine affection or not. "Because there is a point where like getting love notes or being spoken beautifully to and telling — like there's a point of letting someone know how you feel about them, and then there's the love bombing and the like it get moving fast," she said. The doctor replied: "Idealization is not a place for a relationship to start. And to all you romantics out there, suck it because I'm going to tell you right now, it is just not." PETE DAVIDSON SAYS YOUNG PEOPLE 'DON'T HAVE A SHOT' AT FINDING LOVE Bertinelli also specified the "insidious" isolation she had experienced in a relationship. "It starts — it's not ‘Don't see your family.’ It's when you are with your family, they'll be constantly texting and constantly and starting an argument through texts and calling. And I'm like, ‘I can't talk right now,’" which she said left her feeling like she couldn’t see her family because it upset her significant other. After breaking up with her boyfriend of 10 months in late 2024, following her divorce from her second husband in 2022, Bertinelli explained at the Los Angeles Time Festival of Books last weekend that she was "really scared of dating right now." HOLLYWOOD'S BIGGEST MARRIAGES CRUMBLE AS NICOLE KIDMAN, KEITH URBAN AND MORE STARS CALL IT QUITS IN 2025 She continued, "I've had, you know, two — I'm just scared." Bertinelli told Fox News Digital at the panel that she realized for the first time through writing her memoir, "Getting Naked," "I didn't give myself enough credit for the strength I already had inside me. And that I'm — that I don't have to listen to people be negative to me." The star said that she was "surprised that I was able to learn that. Finally! That I don't have to listen to people be horrible to me. I don't have to tolerate intolerable behavior." BILLY BUSH COMPARES BROOKLYN BECKHAM FAMILY FALLOUT TO PRINCE HARRY: ‘HE WENT NUCLEAR’ She added to Fox News Digital that when she wrote her 2022 book "Enough Already" she thought she had learned that lesson, "but I still put up with intolerable behavior after that." "It wasn't until I really dug down and got to the root of my shame and the dark side that I made friends with it," she said. "Then I thought, ‘Now I'm done. Now I can just say, f--- you. That's it, I'm done. I'm out,’ you know?" After divorcing her first husband, Eddie Van Halen, in 2007, she married businessman Tom Vitale in 2010.

Then again, I wouldn’t want to push Kendal too quick because right now she’s being highly touted as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, women’s wrestler to come to the WWE system," he said. "I don’t want her to get a big head or anything like that because she is so young to the business and she’s picked it up so quickly. But then again, psychology. When she learns that, oh man, she’s gonna be hell to deal with. She’s going to be something very, very special. But she’s gotta really lean into learning that side of it." Booker T said that Armstrong has the ability to be great as well. However, there were still certain skills that she needed to hone before her greatness could be achieved.

I told her, ‘There’s a reason why you lost that championship. We gotta figure that out.’ You gotta put yourself into a position where, if you do lose it, it comes right back to you," he said. "Again, there are those building blocks that we gotta work with Kali. Me, personally, I’m going to be working with Kali person-to-person, on a one-on-one perspective, to just hone that skill, to let her know those details. I always say what you do before and what you do after … She’s got it all. She checks off so many boxes but making her complete is something I’m so looking forward to." Grey was an amateur wrestling star in high school and was on Team USA’s national wrestling team at one point. Armstrong was a track and field star in college before she signed with WWE. "But as far as the ceiling, very, very high for both of those ladies," Booker T added. Both Grey and Armstrong will be among the talent appearing on Season 3 of "WWE Legends and Future Greats" on A+E. The new season begins Sunday night at 10 p.m. ET.

"Our First Lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow," Kimmel said in his parody of the event on Thursday. WNBA STAR'S 1-WORD RESPONSE AFTER OBAMA ACCUSES TRUMP ADMIN OF TAKING 'CANCEL CULTURE' TO 'DANGEROUS LEVEL' The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is an annual gathering hosted by the White House Correspondents’ Association to honor journalism and fund scholarships. This year’s event, which took place on Saturday in Washington D.C., drew outsized attention because Trump attended in person for the first time while in office, though the evening was later overshadowed by violence. Kimmel also used the parody to mock the Trumps' relationship, portraying distance between the president and the first lady. "Oh, by the way, Melania, this is Donald. Donald, this is Melania," Kimmel said. CNN COMMENTATOR SAID TRUMP ‘WANTS US DEAD’ MINUTES BEFORE WH DINNER SHOOTING SCARE The comedian pivoted to the first lady's April 26 birthday and imagined how she would mark the occasion.

Fox News Digital reported the officer was struck in a ballistic vest and taken to a hospital, while agents returned fire and detained Allen, who was also transported for treatment. Trump, first lady Melania Trump and senior administration officials were then rushed from the venue by Secret Service agents. Fox News Digital reached out to the White House and ABC for comment but did not immediately hear back.

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

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

Merriman recalled watching the event as well as Stardom’s show.

"I’m a big wrestling fan," he told Fox News Digital. "I checked out their show and I went to Stardom, which is the all-women’s Japanese show, which is insane. I was blown away by them. I saw the other show, two shows in Mexico City, and it was almost 10,000-plus people out there. It was just insane. "For them to have their first show here in the States, I think they did a really good job. There were a little over 2,000 people there. I thought it was great. Some of the (wrestlers) I already knew and I got a chance to see up close and personal. I got a chance to go back and meet some of the talent and kind of shake hands. Believe it or not, some of them were San Diego Chargers fans because they watched me growing up, obviously playing in San Diego. I look forward to going to more shows." Merriman has a soft spot for pro wrestling. He made a few appearances on WWE programming and appeared for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling in 2024 (TNA), interfering in Joe Hendry’s match at Rebellion.

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

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

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

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

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

"We thank the president for his strength during a time when our nation and everyone in that immediate moment needed it," Fields said Sunday on "Fox & Friends Weekend." Chaos broke out at the event Saturday night when suspected gunman Cole Allen reportedly stormed a security checkpoint and opened fire.  Fields described "pandemonium" in the ballroom after shots were fired and said it took more than a minute before attendees on stage, including Trump and first lady Melania Trump, were aware of the possible danger.  Despite the confusion, Fields said the president wanted to return to the stage when the threat was no longer present. "When we heard he wanted to come back out, we all kind of chuckled and said, 'Of course he does, because that's exactly who he is.'" TRUMP PRAISES PRESS AFTER WHCD SHOOTING, SAYS UNITY AT DINNER WAS 'BEAUTIFUL' "In a moment of chaos and uncertainty, he gave us transparency. He gave us clarity. And he gave his reassurance that we were not going to be cowards in this moment," Fields said. Cole Allen, a 31-year-old computer scientist from Torrance, California, was identified as the suspect accused of opening fire at the Washington Hilton Hotel. During a news conference Saturday night, authorities said Allen was armed with multiple weapons when he rushed a Secret Service checkpoint. He then allegedly opened fire on a Secret Service officer, who was taken to the hospital after being shot in his ballistic vest. SECRET SERVICE IN LINE OF FIRE AT WHCA SHOOTING STILL UNPAID DUE TO DEM-LED SHUTDOWN Agents reportedly fired back at Allen, who was not struck. He was also taken to the hospital. Fields said he noticed a lack of security checkpoints ahead of the main event, where cabinet secretaries and high-level officials were in attendance. "And there was not a security apparatus leading up to that point. So I think there's going to have to be a buffer. Of course, everyone can Monday morning quarterback, and we have to agree that the Secret Service and local law enforcement took immediate steps to keep us safe. But there was no real buffer, and that was one of the immediate feelings I felt as soon as I walked into the hotel."

Authorities identified the suspect as 31-year-old Cole Allen, of Torrance, Calif., adding that he prepared a manifesto outlining his intent and shared anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric on social media. SECURITY UNDER SCRUTINY AS WHCD ATTENDEES CITE INCONSISTENT SCREENING BEFORE SHOOTING As the dinner was underway, Allen allegedly rushed a Secret Service checkpoint at the Washington Hilton while armed with multiple weapons and opened fire, striking a Secret Service officer in his ballistic vest. Agents returned fire and tackled Allen to the ground. The suspect and the injured officer were transported to a hospital. The Secret Service agent is expected to recover. The incident adds to a growing list of threats against President Donald Trump, including two confirmed assassination attempts and a recent incident involving an armed intruder at Mar-a-Lago. SECRET SERVICE IN LINE OF FIRE AT WHCA SHOOTING STILL UNPAID DUE TO DEM-LED SHUTDOWN Overnight, the FBI and local law enforcement secured Allen’s home in Torrance, California. A federal judge in the Central District of California is expected to approve a search warrant, which would allow investigators to search the residence. The White House said Sunday that Allen’s brother contacted the New London Police Department in Connecticut prior to the shooting, reporting that Allen had sent family members an alleged manifesto outlining his intent to target administration officials. Officials also said Allen’s social media included anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric. President Trump speaking on Fox News’ "The Sunday Briefing," described Allen as "a very troubled guy," citing the manifesto. WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER SUSPECT CHECKED INTO HILTON HOTEL ONE DAY BEFORE THE SHOOTING: SOURCES Allen’s sister, Avriana Allen, told investigators in Rockville, Maryland, that her brother had made increasingly radical statements and often spoke about doing "something" to address issues in the world. She said he had purchased two handguns and a shotgun, which he stored at their parents’ home without their knowledge, and that he regularly trained at a shooting range. She also told authorities that Allen was affiliated with a group called "The Wide Awakes" and had attended a "No Kings" protest in California. Investigators believe Allen traveled from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., by train, with a stop in Chicago, according to acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche. He said the investigation is ongoing and that more details are expected as formal charges are filed. Blanche also noted that while the motive remains under investigation, authorities preliminarily believe Allen was targeting administration officials.

However, many A-list celebrities have made the decision to transform the pain of their failed marriage into a lifelong friendship with their former partner, something that previously has been unusual in the business. Jennifer Aniston most recently liked ex-husband Justin Theroux's baby announcement — which he shared in a joint Instagram post with his wife Nicole Brydon Bloom. Aniston and Theroux were married from 2015 until 2018, and have remained friends since their divorce. Other stars who have remained friendly with their exes include Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, Courtney Cox and David Arquette, and more. SEAN ‘DIDDY’ COMBS TOPPED CELEBRITY SCANDALS OF 2024 In 2024, Theroux told The Times that Aniston "is still very dear to me." Theroux and Bloom got engaged in 2024 and married the following year. Aniston is currently in a relationship with Jim Curtis. GWYNETH PALTROW EMBRACES TREND OF LIVING APART FROM SPOUSE AS EXPERTS WARN IT CAN MAKE OR BREAK A MARRIAGE Aniston reacted to her ex-husband Theroux sharing news that he and wife Bloom welcomed their first child. The star liked the post announcing the news on Instagram. The picture featured Theroux cradling his newborn son on his chest. Theroux and Bloom posted the joint photo with the caption: "He’s here. We are so in love." BRAD PITT, ANGELINA JOLIE REACH DIVORCE SETTLEMENT AFTER BITTER 8-YEAR LEGAL BATTLE Paltrow and Martin split in 2014 via "consciously uncoupling," but the former lovebirds have remained friends since. Last year, Paltrow talked about the status of her relationship with Martin, whom she shared two children with. Paltrow told Vanity Fair: "It’s not quite brother, but we are complete family. He is there for me through anything, and vice versa," she said of Martin. KATY PERRY AND JUSTIN TRUDEAU SPARK DATING RUMORS, JOINING HIGH STAKES WORLD OF CELEB-POLITICIAN ROMANCES Ben Affleck and ex-wife Jennifer Garner have also maintained friendly relations despite splitting in 2015. Last year, Garner wished Affleck a happy Father’s Day on her Instagram, posting a picture of him with one of their kids. She captioned it: "Happy Father’s Day to 3 people’s favorite landing spot."  Affleck told GQ in January 2025 that he is "really lucky" to have a "really good co-parent and partner in Jennifer Garner." CHRISTINA HAACK ACCUSES ESTRANGED HUSBAND OF 'INTIMIDATION' AFTER ALLEGEDLY SPOTTING HIM IN HER NEIGHBORHOOD The actor added that Garner is "wonderful and great and we work together well." In 2016, Garner explained why she became friends with Affleck despite their divorce. "The main thing is these kids. And we’re completely in line with what we hope for them," she told Vanity Fair. "If you see your kids love someone so purely and wholly, then you’re going to be friends with that person," she told Vanity Fair. NICOLE KIDMAN, RACHEL RAY, TED DANSON KEEP MARRIAGES HOT WITH UNCONVENTIONAL RULES Demi Moore has been supportive of ex-husband Bruce Willis — even almost 30 years after their divorce. They were married from 1987 until 2000. Moore and Willis, who was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2023, share three daughters together: Rumer, Tallulah and Scout. On Willis, Moore told People last year "that regardless of what the outside relationship has been, we have maintained being a family in various forms. The foundation of making our children our priority has never wavered." CHANNING TATUM AND HIS GIRLFRIEND INKA WILLIAMS PUT THEIR PDA ON DISPLAY DURING COSTA RICA TRIP After they split, Moore and Willis still attended premieres together and traveled to Paris — and during the COVID pandemic, they isolated together. Moore attended his wedding to his now-wife Emma Heming in 2009, four years after he attended her wedding to then-husband Ashton Kutcher. Willis welcomed two more daughters with Heming: Mabel and Evelyn. ORLANDO BLOOM ADDRESSES KATY PERRY BREAKUP IN FIRST PUBLIC COMMENTS SINCE SPLIT After his diagnosis, Moore signed a note alongside Heming and his five children: "We are moving through this as a strong family unit, and wanted to bring his fans in because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him. As Bruce always says, ‘Live it up’ and together we plan to do just that." Courteney Cox and David Arquette are another friendly ex-couple. The duo, who are parents to daughter Coco, were married from 1999 until their divorce in 2013. JOHN STAMOS AND JERRY O’CONNELL BURY THE HATCHET AFTER YEARSLONG RIFT OVER REBECCA ROMIJN Cox and Arquette also worked on Scream 5 in 2022 and Scream 7, released earlier this year. In 2010, he spoke about working with his ex-wife during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. "Well, we co-parent. So, we’re in touch quite a bit. It’s great. But we always love working together." NICOLE KIDMAN'S FIRST POST-DIVORCE INSTAGRAM POST LEAVES A-LIST FRIENDS STUNNED Adding: "She’s an incredible actress, so it’ll be fun to bring these characters back to life and see where they’re at… co-starring’s the easy part." Cox recently cast David’s sister Patricia Arquette for her new project, "Evil Genius." Cox serves as the director and as one of the movie’s producers. Miranda Kerr revealed in February that while her marriage to Orlando Bloom didn’t bring "out the best in each other," their relationship post-divorce has been much different. The Victoria's Secret model said that "Orlando and I are great friends," during an appearance on "We Need To Talk" podcast in February.

And I feel the same." Kerr appeared at the Environmental Working Group's Know Your Worth Earth Day Dinner on April 22, and spoke to E! News about her co-parenting relationship with Bloom. "Put the needs of the child first. That’s so important to think about, ‘Is this in the best interest for the child?’ And that's what we've done from day one with Flynn, and that's helped navigate so many challenging situations that have come up. Kids first," she told the outlet. Bloom and his ex-fiancée Katy Perry also co-parent their daughter Daisy. A source told People in December that "they’re both super committed to keeping this family dynamic," noting that it’s "all amicable and pretty easy." Perry, who is in a relationship with Justin Trudeau, recently shared an image of Bloom with Daisy on her Instagram — proving they are friends. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ee3928059ccda1fcc2c2f6 From Southern clubs to Netflix: How clean comic Derrick Stroup is stopping audiences in their tracks te 2026-04-26T16:11:20.917Z From Southern clubs to Netflix: How clean comic Derrick Stroup is stopping audiences in their tracks Comedian Derrick Stroup knows he’s a fish out of water in New York City. He can tell by how his accent "stops traffic in a bodega." But the Alabama native isn’t changing who he is for the Big Apple. Instead, he's bringing the "playing in the dirt" toughness of his 1990s upbringing to the comedy world. His latest Netflix special, "Nostalgic," serves as a high-energy wake-up call for a generation of kids he says aren’t built for the playground games of his youth. "Some of the games we played, you could not bring back," Stroup told Fox News Digital. "I mean, you couldn't bring back the purple nurple. These kids aren't built for it," he said. "‘Safe space, safe space!’ They'd be in a panic." The comic said his stand-up style has been described as "Bill Burr raised in the woods," and noted his special is a tribute to something that most people can relate to: growing up. It’s a perspective that’s resonated with audiences across the country, landing his special in the Netflix Top 10. 'ROASTMASTER' JEFF ROSS SHREDS CANCEL CULTURE: PEOPLE ‘DON’T WANT THEIR COMEDY WATERED DOWN' While he’s living in New York now, Stroup said he remains a Southerner at heart who continues to experience the culture shock of living in the North. He noted that something as simple as communication is different. Whereas in New York a horn is a way to say hello, in Alabama it could quickly "turn into an altercation." He also admits he hasn’t found a local diner that can match the grit and charm of a Waffle House. "I miss a sweet woman with red lipstick on that smells like cigarettes that's refilling my sweet tea," Stroup said. "That's hard to find up North." But Stroup’s rise to the Netflix stage wasn’t an overnight success. He spent a decade in retail management, working overnights and selling furniture to keep the pressure on himself. He said he purposefully didn't want a "Plan B" that ever felt too comfortable. "I can promise you, as a manager in Big Lots, I was not like, ‘This is my end game,’" he said jokingly, adding that there were times when he went without healthcare. "I always made sure that I kind of positioned myself in the room to where comedy was my only way out." COMEDIANS TURN 'FAT SHAMING' JOKE ON JOE ROGAN'S PODCAST INTO ANNUAL 5K THAT IS CHANGING LIVES Stroup practices clean comedy, meaning he keeps the language toned down and topics lighthearted. But his delivery is anything but quiet. He described himself as an "observational, ranty type of comedian" who gets worked up over the smallest inconveniences. "I'm naturally an emotional man. I run hot," Stroup said. "I can get just as fired up about a plate of tater tots as I can my shirt getting caught on a doorknob in a hallway." Staying clean while making people laugh is a skill Stroup said he picked up while working as the opener for Christian comic John Crist for several years. He explained he learned how to "walk that line" between getting a laugh, and not "punching down." That aspect of his comedy led him to also work with one of comedy’s biggest names, Nate Bargatze, another clean comic who also happens to hail from the South. DAVE CHAPPELLE SAYS HE’S CONSIDERING REVISITING ‘CHAPPELLE’S SHOW’ DECADES AFTER WALKING AWAY "Me and Nate are naturally kind of similar people. We grew up 90 miles from each other," Stroup explained. It’s a connection he’s fostered, having gone on tour with Bargatze, being part of his Christmas special produced by "Saturday Night Live" creator Lorne Michaels, and now starring in Bargatze’s upcoming film "The Breadwinner." Stroup said Bargatze’s "right down the middle" style means everyone can enjoy a laugh. Stroup’s special taps into the rage of Americans today, but over everyday occurrences — not bigger existential or divisive topics. Rather, he answers the burning question of whether the middle-seat person on planes deserves armrests, and recalls having to call the girl he liked on a landline and the panic surrounding what to do if her dad picked up. SNL LEGEND EXPLAINS HOW SHORT ATTENTION SPANS ARE HAVING A DIRECT IMPACT ON COMEDY "If somebody was really mad about something, like I was on a soap box all the time, or I was really trying to change your mind, that's not a fun conversation," Stroup said. "When somebody's unraveling over something that truly doesn't matter, it's pure entertainment," he added. Stroup’s special "Nostalgic" is now airing on Netflix. You can also catch him on the road this year on his "Running Hot Tour."

The case, dubbed Operation Skip Trace, accuses the defendants of buying stolen personal information on the dark web, enrolling those identities in Medi-Cal through Covered California, and running 14 shell hospice companies that billed the state for end-of-life care that was never provided. The patients were not dying. In many cases, they did not even live in California. They were names and Social Security numbers pulled from data breaches and turned into billing line items. Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy Report DOCTOR DENIES KNOWING ABOUT RAMPANT LA-AREA MEDICARE FRAUD USING HIS PROVIDER NUMBER Scammers pay people to put hospice companies in their names, even though they do not run them. This hides the real operators and gives the group a licensed business it can use to submit bills. Behind the scenes, others buy stolen personal information from dark web marketplaces. This includes names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers and addresses. They then use that information to enroll people in Medi-Cal through Covered California and list them as terminally ill hospice patients. Next, the companies submit claims for visits, prescriptions and daily care tied to those names. They never provide any services. Because hospice care pays a flat daily rate, the billing continues as long as the identity stays active. Operation Skip Trace is the latest in a string of hospice fraud cases that federal and state officials have been tracking for years. The typical hospice in Los Angeles County bills Medicare roughly $29,000 per patient, more than double the national average. Of the roughly 1,800 hospices operating in LA County, more than 700 have triggered multiple fraud red flags, according to state auditors. On March 23, 2026, the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform sent a letter to California Governor Gavin Newsom requesting documents on the state's oversight of federally funded hospice programs. Committee members cited a "well-documented history of fraud," including agencies enrolling beneficiaries without their knowledge and overbilling Medicare. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services estimates that Los Angeles County alone accounts for roughly $3.5 billion in hospice fraud. Newsom's office said California has revoked more than 280 hospice licenses, maintained a moratorium on new providers and has hundreds more operators under investigation. GOOGLE SEARCH LED TO A COSTLY SCAM CALL Most identity theft stories focus on credit cards, tax returns or new loans. Those usually show up on your credit report. Hospice fraud works differently. Scammers can use your information inside a Medicare or Medi-Cal billing system without triggering a credit alert or hard inquiry. That means it can go unnoticed. Watch for warning signs like Medicare Summary Notices listing services you never received, Medi-Cal enrollment letters in your name or explanation-of-benefits statements from providers you have never visited. If you apply for coverage later, you could face a denial because records show you are already enrolled in another state. If your data was exposed in a breach, it may already be circulating on the dark web. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services recommends reviewing your Medicare Summary Notice each quarter through MyMedicare.gov. If you are enrolled in Medi-Cal, check your Covered California account for unexpected activity and report anything suspicious to the California Department of Health Care Services through its Stop Medi-Cal Fraud line. Suspected Medicare fraud can be reported to 1-800-MEDICARE or directly to the HHS Office of Inspector General at oig.hhs.gov/fraud. The Senior Medicare Patrol offers free help reviewing statements and filing reports in every state. If you notice unfamiliar charges or enrollment activity, place a fraud alert with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. Medical identity theft often overlaps with other types of fraud. Hospice fraud schemes like Operation Skip Trace often begin long before billing ever happens. The personal data used is typically traded on dark web marketplaces after large data breaches. Services like Aura monitor these marketplaces and data broker listings for exposed personal information, including Social Security numbers, driver's licenses, and email addresses. They also track public record changes, such as address updates that may signal fraudulent enrollment, and monitor credit files across Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. If suspicious activity is detected, users receive support from fraud resolution specialists who help contact agencies, prepare documentation, and dispute unauthorized accounts. Plans may also include identity theft insurance for eligible recovery costs. No service can prevent every misuse of a stolen identity. But when fraud happens inside systems you rarely check, like Medicare or Medi-Cal, early alerts can make a critical difference. Credit monitoring services track activity across the major credit bureaus and alert you when something changes. That gives you a chance to act quickly by freezing your credit, disputing unfamiliar accounts or contacting the lender. Many services monitor your credit across Equifax, Experian and TransUnion and send alerts soon after activity is reported, so you are not waiting for a daily update to spot a problem. Some tools also let you lock your credit file with a single tap, which can help stop new applications before they are approved. Beyond credit reports, certain services monitor other personal data that may be exposed in breaches or sold online. That can include email addresses, phone numbers, driver's license details and even medical IDs, all of which can be used in identity theft schemes. While no service can prevent every type of fraud, having real-time alerts and broader monitoring can help you catch suspicious activity earlier and limit the damage. See my tips and best picks on Best Identity Theft Protection at CyberGuy.com This case shows how identity theft is evolving. It is no longer just about draining bank accounts or opening credit cards. Scammers are now turning people into invisible patients inside systems most of us never check. That shift makes this fraud harder to detect and slower to stop. The best defense is to know where your information can appear and to check systems you would not normally review. If someone could use your identity for months without you knowing, would you ever catch it before the damage is done?  Let us know by writing to us at CyberGuy.com Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy Report Copyright 2026 CyberGuy.com. All rights reserved.

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

James Shemmeld, 46, now runs four ice cream trucks that bring in an average of about $80,000 a year, news agency SWNS reported. That’s in addition to his private ambulance and paramedic service, which generates roughly $270,000 annually and operates out of his home in Newcastle-under-Lyme, England. NEW ICE CREAM TRENDS CHURN UP INTEREST, BUT ONE CLASSIC STILL RULES THE $7.5B INDUSTRY He first returned to selling ice cream during the COVID-19 pandemic after struggling with the emotional toll of his job. "It was really difficult … and it got to the point where I realized my mental health was being affected quite severely," he told SWNS. Looking for a way to cope, Shemmeld bought a secondhand ice cream truck for about $17,500 and began selling treats in his spare time. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER "In 2020 the ice cream truck was a side hustle, but from 2021 onward it really took off and I had to buy more trucks to keep up with demand," he said.

With the ice cream trucks, he said, the experience is a welcome contrast to his medical work. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE STORIES "None of the stresses of the medical side exist," he said.

"You’re never not a paramedic," he said, noting he keeps a defibrillator in the truck in case of emergencies. Despite the success, he said the business was never about the money. "I don’t want to charge too much … it was about improving my mental health," he said. "I love what I do."

While the Secret Service and federal law enforcement moved quickly to secure President Donald Trump and other officials, accounts from attendees and lawmakers have painted a mixed picture of the security posture at the Washington Hilton. WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER SHOOTING SHARPENS FOCUS ON TRUMP’S BALLROOM CONSTRUCTION PROPOSAL Misha Komadovsky, a journalist for Germany’s DW, shared a photo on X of the paper ticket used by attendees to gain access to the event, saying it was "the only thing required" for entry into the Washington Hilton ballroom. "There was no security screening prior to entering the lobby," he wrote. ABC News reporter Beatrice Peterson, who wrote on X that she has attended the event for more than a decade, offered a more measured assessment, saying the overall security posture appeared consistent with past years.  She noted that pre-event gatherings tend to be more fluid, while the dinner itself is typically more tightly controlled, and that security — both plainclothes and uniformed — is always present inside and outside the venue. Peterson described the crowd and security presence as "typical-ish" for a year in which the president attends the dinner, suggesting no obvious deviations from past practice. However, she said multiple investigations are expected to examine what happened and whether any failures occurred, adding the incident could permanently change how the event is handled going forward. SECRET SERVICE IN LINE OF FIRE AT WHCA SHOOTING STILL UNPAID DUE TO DEM-LED SHUTDOWN Harrison Fields, a former White House principal deputy press secretary, told "FOX & Friends" there were "no checkpoints to get into the hotel," adding that the gunman could have been "roaming" and observing attendees before the incident. "There was a VIP reception right off the main ballroom where Cabinet secretaries were, where the president could have been — and there was no security apparatus leading up to that point," Fields said. Fields acknowledged that the Secret Service and local law enforcement "took immediate steps to keep us safe," but said there was "no real buffer" in place, which he noticed as soon as he arrived. WORLD LEADERS CONDEMN ‘UNACCEPTABLE’ VIOLENCE AFTER ARMED ATTACK DISRUPTS WH CORRESPONDENTS’ DINNER Even as some attendees described the security posture as typical, lawmakers offered a far more critical assessment. Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., pointed to what he described as "glaring security issues," even as he acknowledged that the Secret Service and federal law enforcement "acted swiftly" to secure the ballroom and move President Donald Trump and other officials to safety. In a post on X, Lawler said there was no photo ID requirement or verified attendee list, which he noted is standard for White House events. He also cited the absence of magnetometers before entry to the ballroom and said multiple pre-event receptions with limited security created potential access points. Lawler said the building remained open to the public and raised concerns about accountability inside the room, noting there was no clear handle on how many members of Congress were present or where they were seated. He called for a "complete and thorough after-action" review, focusing on how the gunman moved from his hotel room into what he described as a secure area with multiple firearms. ARMED MAN SHOT AND KILLED AFTER ‘UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY’ INTO MAR-A-LAGO: SECRET SERVICE Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., who attended the dinner, also raised concerns about the venue itself. "We were there front and center," Fetterman said. "That venue wasn’t built to accommodate an event with the line of succession for the U.S. government." Similarily, Kari Lake, a Trump ally in attendance, echoed criticism of the security measures. "I was there. Security was terrible at the event," Lake wrote on X. "It was the easiest event I’ve ever gained access to that the president was at. It was so bad we talked about it at our table before the shots rang out." The Washington Hilton has long hosted high-level government events, including gatherings attended by the president, vice president and members of Congress beyond the annual dinner. Last week, the First Lady’s Luncheon was held in the same ballroom, where first lady Melania Trump and second lady Usha Vance delivered remarks. The Secret Service’s familiarity with the venue helped enable a swift response — and is one reason the White House Correspondents’ Dinner has been held there annually since 1968.

Several WWE superstars announced they were leaving the company during the week. The wrestlers were either cut outright or their contracts were not renewed by WWE. Yang echoed concerns from pro wrestling fans, who seemingly took issue with the number of advertisements during the show. Regardless of any criticism, WWE said it still put together one of the highest-grossing events in the company’s history. More than 106,000 people attended the two-night show.

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

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

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

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

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

"I was in diabetic ketoacidosis," he said. "The blood becomes acidic, and your organs start to shut down.

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

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

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

We're certainly asking that question now. I'm sure it's never been asked in this way, and whether we're the aliens or not, I think most of us can agree we like clean water and beaches.

Then it's time to fire your manager following a 17-1 win, which is exactly what the Boston Red Sox did on Saturday. As a Yankees fan, I hate to see that happen. Especially to the Red Sox and a noted cheater like Alex Cora. My family did not make fun of it at all in a text chain that managed to weave in the Patriots drama. We're better than that. The Red Sox are 10-17 on the season following a 16-run win on Saturday in Baltimore, which, to Cora's defense, it is harder to win games when you're not able to use electronics to steal signs. Along with Cora, several members of his coaching staff were also shown the door. "Alex Cora led this organization to one of the greatest seasons in Red Sox history in 2018, and for that, and the many years that followed, he will always have our deepest gratitude. He has had a lasting impact on this team and on this city. He has led on and off the field in so many important ways," Red Sox owner John Henry said. "These decisions are never easy, but this one is especially difficult given what Alex has meant to the Red Sox since the day he arrived. I want to thank Alex, our coaches, and their families for everything they have given to this organization. They have been part of this club in a way that goes beyond the field, and they will always have our respect and gratitude." Chad Tracy will serve as the last-place team's interim manager. Again, you really hate to see that for Boston and for Alex Cora. I didn’t look at the rest of the standings, because when you know your team isn’t at the bottom, it's way too early to do that. Let's head down to the great state of Florida where a 42-year-old woman found out that slamming the door in a deputy's face and identifying as "Donald Duck" aren’t the best way to avoid a trip to jail. I know what you're thinking and yes, this is America. You should be able to slam the door in people's faces and tell them your name is the same as a cartoon character. I agree. The problem here is that officers were responding to a report of a disturbance that Sunday and performing the previously mentioned activities could be perceived as having something to hide about why the police were called to the scene. According to the arrest report obtained by The Smoking Gun, after having the door slammed in his face by the woman, later identified as Lisa Nagel of Jensen Beach, the deputy "placed Lisa in handcuffs and continued his investigation." The report added, "It should be noted that Lisa removed one of the handcuffs during this time." Let's go ahead and update the list. Don't slam the door in the face of a deputy responding to a disturbance, don't identify as Donald Duck, which the report states she did while being detained, and don't slip out of the handcuffs. Nagel was arrested on charges of resisting without violence and providing a false name. She was booked into the county jail and released on $1,000 bond. She's scheduled to be arraigned in May and now she has a story to tell. - Sam writes White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting: Watching the pressers....

The tournament has been on the calendar for nearly a year, but for the non-golf fans out there, it's a new opportunity to bash an organization for doing literally anything involving the president. Next week's Cadillac Championship marks the first time the Tour has held an event at Trump Doral since 2016. The WGC-Cadillac Championship was hosted at Doral from 2007 to 2016, but the event was moved to Mexico City in 2017, President Trump's first year in the Oval Office. The Trump Organization purchased the property for $150 million in 2012. USA'S NEXT RYDER CUP CAPTAIN DECIDED AFTER TIGER WOODS TURNS DOWN OFFER: REPORT The PGA Tour's history at Doral and the event's announcement in July 2025 are being overshadowed by some of the folks just now learning the details, and many are not happy. As the tournament's field was finalized on Friday evening, the PGA Tour Communications X account shared the list of players who will be teeing it up in the inaugural Cadillac Championship. The post included Trump's name, which led to folks who would otherwise never see the post share some unhinged replies.

Doral is widely regarded as one of the best, most difficult golf courses in the country and should be a stern test for some of the top players in the world, including Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1, who will be teeing it up in Miami. Rory McIlroy, Matt Fitzpatrick and Ludvig Aberg are among the biggest names who have opted to skip out on the signature event. They'll all have another signature opportunity the very next week, however, with the Tour heading to the Truist Championship. One could easily argue that the PGA Tour deserves criticism on the topic of signature events, but moaning about where they're held is ridiculous. Next week's Truist Championship will be the sixth signature event of the year, and with the PGA Championship taking place the following week, the overkill of the Tour's biggest events is very real.

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

It had been sitting unrecognized in the binding of a book in the Robertson Davies Library at Massey College, an independent college affiliated with the University of Toronto, for years. The missive was identified by researchers Jessica Lockhart and Chana Algarvio during a closer examination of the fragment using advanced imaging. They brought it to Sebastian Sobecki, a professor of medieval English literature at the University of Toronto, for identification. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ Images show the artifact yellowed and frayed with age, covered in small text written in dark ink. The fragment was likely recovered during a 20th-century book restoration after passing through a family of collectors, said Chana Algarvio, assistant librarian at Massey College and a Ph.D. student at the University of Toronto. Algarvio told Fox News Digital it was donated by a man named Will Rueter, who inherited it from his great-uncle Georg Rueter. "According to Will, Georg frequented bookstores his whole life and particularly favored the bookseller stalls at the University of Amsterdam," she said. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER "Due to the fragment's small size, it probably came to Georg via his bookbinder friends or his daughter, who was trained as a bookbinder." The discovery's significance lies in its rarity, said Sobecki. "Finding parts of medieval manuscripts in book bindings is common, but finding royal letters or charters in such places is very rare," he told Fox News Digital. "Identifying these fragments relies on a combination of tools, including language, handwriting and document format."

These documents "were really important to the making of the modern French bureaucracy," he noted. And for those wondering why Louis XI was called the "Spider King," it's because he wove a vast network of political intrigue and royal control — like a web. "Louis was exceptionally adept at political intrigue and [at] using the royal administration effectively to this effect," Sobecki noted. "He also professionalized the government by appointing bureaucrats rather than hereditary aristocrats, laying the foundations of the political and legal unification of France."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A teenage victim also sustained injuries considered non-life-threatening. According to investigators, the suspect first shot a woman on Harrison Street before traveling to a residence on West 79th Street, where the murders happened. After fleeing, he allegedly carjacked a man at gunpoint near Linwood Avenue and West 79th Street before officers located the vehicle and initiated a pursuit.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ee0ee5059ccda1fcc2bc3f Patients taking weight-loss drugs often make 5 critical mistakes, doctor warns te 2026-04-26T13:11:01.041Z Patients taking weight-loss drugs often make 5 critical mistakes, doctor warns GLP-1 drugs (glucagon-like peptide-1s) have exploded in popularity in recent years – initially as a way to control diabetes and then as tools for weight loss. Growing research suggests that these drugs – which include semaglutide and tirzepatide – potentially have benefits beyond weight loss, with stronger evidence for cardiovascular and kidney health. Even so, experts caution that these medications are not foolproof — and using them the wrong way can undermine results or even create new health problems. OZEMPIC’S HEALTH BENEFITS KEEP GROWING, BUT ARE THE RISKS WORTH IT? Dr. Meena T. Malhotra, MD, a functional medicine doctor and weight-loss specialist in a suburb of Chicago, confirmed that she has seen myriad health improvements in patients taking GLP-1s – particularly those with diabetes who were "very sick." "We observed that this sick population was doing better than the diabetics who were on other diabetes medicines," she shared with Fox News Digital, noting that she observed improvements in brain health, memory, heart health, circulation, and liver and kidney function. "We realized there was more to the drug than just sugar control and weight loss." Malhotra said she believes many people can safely microdose GLP-1s, but she cautions against the following common mistakes. Anyone considering GLP-1s should first focus on adopting a healthy lifestyle, Malhotra emphasized – a view widely shared by endocrinologists and obesity medicine specialists. GLP-1 medications work by slowing gastric emptying, reducing appetite and improving insulin signaling. People with preexisting GI symptoms may be more prone to discomfort or intolerance, though responses vary and formal evidence is limited. JELLY ROLL'S WIFE SAYS WEIGHT-LOSS DRUG SENT HER INTO ‘WORST SUICIDAL DEPRESSION’ Before beginning the medication, Malhotra recommends improving basic nutritional habits, such as increasing intake of whole, minimally processed foods, and prioritizing protein and fiber to support satiety and gut health. Even small improvements can lead to early weight loss, reduced fluid retention and improvements in insulin sensitivity, doctors agree.  Once GLP-1 medications are started, these lifestyle modifications may reduce the necessary dose amount, result in fewer side effects and help preserve lean muscle mass. The growing trend of obtaining GLP-1 medications online without proper medical oversight can pose serious health risks, Malhotra warned. "Nobody examines the patient – they just fill out a form and the medicine shows up at their door," she said. WEIGHT-LOSS DOCTOR SHARES HOW GLP-1S COULD REWIRE BODY AGAINST DISEASE Patients should see a medical provider for a thorough exam and bloodwork before starting the drugs, the doctor emphasized. "If something is off, it needs to be addressed," she said. "Whether it’s a thyroid issue, a heart condition or another factor slowing your metabolism, any underlying problems should be fixed first." During treatment, Malhotra recommends that her patients come in once a month to make sure they are losing fat and not lean muscle mass. "That's very important, because if you lose lean mass, your body is not getting healthier," she said. This ongoing monitoring also helps to ensure that the patient is following a balanced diet, getting adequate protein and adhering to strength training. "There's more to it than just giving yourself a shot," Malhotra added. One of the biggest mistakes people make when taking GLP-1s is cutting calories but not getting sufficient protein, according to Malhotra. "If you are decreasing the calories but not fixing the nutritional foundation, you will lose lean mass," the doctor said. "But if you're eating a balanced diet with adequate protein and doing strength training with a smaller dose of the drug, you will get better results and your health will improve." DOCTOR REVEALS SECRETS TO LASTING WEIGHT LOSS WITHOUT COUNTING CALORIES Most people need about 0.5 to 0.8 grams of protein per pound of body weight each day to maintain muscle and support overall health, according to medical experts. For a 200-pound person, that would equate to roughly 100 to 160 grams of protein daily. CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES Higher amounts may be needed for those who are physically active or trying to build strength. "The amount of protein you need will depend on the frequency and intensity of your workouts," Malhotra said.  Another common mistake is rushing the process and increasing GLP-1 doses too quickly in hopes of faster results, according to the doctor. "You may start to see results within the first week or month, but some people do need a higher dose over time," she said. "The key is to be patient and increase it gradually — typically month by month." If a patient doesn’t see results after the first injection, that doesn’t mean the dose should be doubled right away, according to Malhotra.  "That’s a recipe for problems, including side effects like pancreatitis," she said. "Your body needs time to adjust and adapt." "You can go up if you hit a plateau or if it's not helping, but we usually wait a month to increase the dose." While many expect "instant gratification," health is about balance, Malhotra added. "It won't take 20 years, but give it two months, I think that's fair." A general rule of thumb, according to the doctor, is "don't start too soon, don't stop too soon. GLP-1 side effects can often be prevented by building a strong foundation of health and keeping everything in balance, according to Malhotra.  "That said, some people will still have side effects, and there are ways to manage them," she said. The doctor recommends eating smaller, more frequent meals instead of large portions — ideally about the size of your fist.  It’s also important to keep fat intake low, she advised – GLP-1 medications already slow stomach emptying and fat can slow it even further, which may worsen nausea.

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

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

CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM On Saturday, the Broncos used the 257th pick on former Buffalo linebacker Red Murdock, who recorded 142 tackles — the second-most in the nation — along with 13.5 tackles for loss.

The Pittsburgh Steelers selected the wide receiver with the No. 487 pick during an era when the draft extended beyond today’s seven rounds. Paul Salata, a former NFL player credited with coining the "Mr. Irrelevant" nickname, emphasized the meaning behind the tradition. "We established Irrelevant Week to drive home an important message — that it’s not a negative to be picked last in the NFL Draft; rather, it’s an honor to be drafted at all," Salata according to the "Mr. Irrelevant" website.

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

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

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

"Back then, I think they looked at these young actors as like property coming in. And I really believe the studios, they wanted to mold and form these young actors into what they wanted them to be, what they needed them to be for the company and for the audience, to what they felt would identify with." ‘BOY MEETS WORLD’ STAR MAITLAND WARD CLAIMS DANIELLE FISHEL CREATED ‘TOXIC’ ENVIRONMENT IN HEATED EXCHANGE "I think it was such a factory kind of environment. Like you were just a product being sold, and you knew that yourself," she continued. "I mean, I didn't think anything was wrong at the time with anything that was going on really. I mean it felt ill at ease in my own body and all my feelings and stuff, but I thought that was just me being stupid. I have to be professional. I have to be part of that Hollywood machine. And that's really what it was." For Ward, telling her story in "Hollywood Demons" was an opportunity to release baggage that has been with her all these years. FORMER DISNEY STAR CLAIMS PORN CAREER HAS PEOPLE TREATING HER WITH 'MORE RESPECT' "It was very therapeutic to tell the story at the age that I am now about my 16-year-old self, 17, 20, whatever, that my young self coming up in a business that thought of her as a product and was very dismissive of the product a lot of the time. They just wanted it for what they wanted it for. And then cast it aside when they didn't. And that happened to many, many young actors." "I think this show really examines that on a lot of fronts in young Hollywood, especially in that world of the 90s and the early 2000s, where women were just put into this box where you had to be this young woman that was either, a virgin and a slut all at once," she continued. "And I hate to use those terms exactly, but that's what it was." CHRISTINA RICCI WILL NEVER BE 'GIRL NEXT DOOR,' SAYS HAPPY PEOPLE DON’T DO ANYTHING INTERESTING "It was like the Britney Spears thing. She had to go on TV and swear up and down she was a virgin, but she was being used provocatively for her body and her sexual image, and it was all for this like twisted male gaze that Hollywood was just inflicting on everybody. They were telling us things, like this is what the audience wants, this is how they want you to be, this is how they want women to be. But it really wasn't true because if you go back or you talk to people now, they were like, 'Oh, I love this stuff about you, or I love stuff about the show.' And it's so different from what we were told the audience was craving." Looking back at her time on "Boy Meets World," Ward, who was 21 when she joined the cast in the later seasons, said it's difficult to look back at all the "provocative, weird situations" she was put in. In a 2022 interview with Complex, Ward detailed being "sexualized" while starring on the Disney show.  WATCH: Former Disney star Maitland Ward says young actors were treated like a 'product' in Hollywood factory "I didn’t realize the food fight was such a fetish kind of thing, like, food and feet and all this stuff going on. I didn’t realize all of the innuendos that were made in Rachel’s direction and I think the writers, and Michael especially, really enjoyed playing with that, but then it could not be on my terms," Ward said, referencing co-creator Michael Jacobs. Ward said she didn't think much of it at the time.  "We all just thought it was normal and nobody thought anything of it," Ward told Fox News Digital. "And I'm sure like a younger audience, like if I was a kid watching that and I didn't think anything of that. But when you examine it, adults were creating this space and making this kind of product. It's really troubling just seeing how other people have been through similar situations." CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER Ward said that because it was taboo to discuss any feelings of doubt at the time, she finds it freeing to be able to air out her grievances and connect with others who were put in similar situations. "It's kind of freeing to say, 'Oh, wait, you felt that way too? And you went through a similar situation.' There's so much of the story that we don't know. We just see like what Hollywood shows us. But ["Hollywood Demons"] really peels back that barrier that we have. We can see everything that's going on, and it's really important that we do examine this, especially for future generations, the younger generation coming through." LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS These days, Ward — who has not only found mega success in the adult film industry, but has been a champion for women breaking barriers professionally and personally — has never felt more empowered. "I think I just feel really free after all of it, just that I've just gotten so much of myself out there," said Ward, who published her memoir, "Rated X: How Porn Liberated Me from Hollywood" in 2022. "I think people have a misconception about actors in general, and of course people in the adult industry in general. And I think my story is multifaceted." "It's a story for every woman, every person that says, people are telling them, 'No,' over and over again," she added. "They're telling them what they should be, how they should act. We see it in everyday life. Like at any business, at any situation, people are trying to put especially women into this box. And it's really a story of self-discovery, and just finding who you are as an authentic person in any way that you want to." "Hollywood Demons: Child Stars Gone Wild" premieres Monday, April 27 on Investigation Discovery. Episodes are available to stream on HBO Max.

However, there was a really scary moment in a thriller of a Game 4 when one player took a skate blade straight to the face. It happened late in the game when Minnesota's Michael McCarron tried to battle his way around Dallas defenseman Nils Lundkvist to a puck that had been sent across the goal mouth by Marcus Foligno. However, when McCarron dove for the puck, his foot kicked up and hit Lundkvist right in the face. STANLEY CUP FINAL: FLORIDA PANTHERS EVEN UP SERIES AFTER THRILLING 2OT WIN AGAINST EDMONTON OILERS That's just straight-up terrifying. Lundkvist left the ice bleeding and did not return to the game, which ended up needing overtime to decide a winner. Hopefully, he'll be all right because the Stars are going to need all hands on deck in this one. After all, it's looking like it could wind up going the distance. TEAM USA, BRUINS STAR CHARLIE MCAVOY SCRATCHED FROM FINALS MATCH VS CANADA AFTER HOSPITALIZATION In the extra frame, it looked like Minnesota's Matt Boldy called the game, but the goal was waved off due to a distinct kicking motion. Matt Boldy might be one of the most underrated players in the NHL, but yeah, that was one very distinct kicking motion. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! However, Boldy was going to be the one to even this series up one way or another, and later in overtime, he buried one that there was no question about. This series is delivering exactly what we had all hoped for. The Wild winning in a beatdown in Game 1, followed by the Stars taking the next two, including a Game 3 that needed double overtime. So this one is headed back to the Lone Star State knotted at 2-2, and it sure looks like it has the potential to go to Game 7. But, hey, this was to be expected from a meeting of two Central Division powerhouses.

"We didn’t get the bodies for nine months," Dawood told the Guardian in a story published on Saturday. "Well, when I say bodies, I mean the slush that was left. They came in two small boxes, like shoeboxes." She added that "There wasn’t much they could find" of Shahzada Dawood, 48, and their son, Suleman, 19, of London, after the implosion.  "They have a big pile they can’t separate, all mixed DNA, and they asked if I wanted some of that, too. But I said no, just what you know is Suleman and Shahzada." Shahzada and Suleman were killed along with OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, businessman Hamish Harding and Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, when the submersible imploded as it descended toward the Titanic wreck in the North Atlantic Ocean on June 18, 2023. OCEANGATE TITAN SUBMERSIBLE DAMAGED ON MULTIPLE DIVES BEFORE CATASTROPHIC IMPLOSION, NTSB REPORT FINDS Dawood told the Guardian she remembers the last time she saw her husband and son that morning they got in the submersible as she battled seasickness aboard the ship that took them out to where they descended. "Suleman had his Rubik’s Cube, because he was planning to get the record for solving it at the deepest depth ever," she remembered. "And we were giggling, because Shahzada is clumsy and when he was going down the stairs he was wobbling a bit. I waved. And that was it. They got into a dinghy and sped off. It went very fast, the goodbye." A few hours later in the ship’s dining room, Dawood heard someone say: "They’ve lost communications." When they realized she overheard, the person added: "’Don’t worry, it’s not unusual.’ In that moment, what am I supposed to do? I felt trapped on that ship and I had no choice but to trust what they told me." She said she tried to keep her anxiety at bay, telling herself, "they were stuck" in the submersible.  LYNETTE HOOKER MISSING IN BAHAMAS: TIMELINE OF MICHIGAN WOMAN’S DISAPPEARANCE, HUSBAND’S ARREST "But I was worried. Suleman is not … well, both my men, they’re not very good at being in the dark, and I knew it would be a very different darkness down there. Nothing. You literally can’t see a thing," she said. She said everyone on the ship was in complete denial. "The crew were [acting] like nothing was happening," she said, saying the crew suggested it would just take time for the crew to be found unharmed. "It did cross my mind that OceanGate had ulterior motivations about what they told us," she added. "They were just trying to avoid the truth. But I would have deteriorated a lot quicker without hope." As they waited, she said the crew scheduled jamming sessions and movies to pass the time. AMERICAN COUPLE'S BAHAMAS DINGHY WAS ILL-EQUIPPED FOR CONDITIONS NIGHT OF WIFE'S DISAPPEARANCE: FRIEND "Ultimately, I think they wanted to distract people, keep everyone occupied," she said. "They wanted everyone onside, not to feed anything to the press. But jamming sessions? Am I really going to sit there and sing Kumbaya? I did try to give a movie a go, but when I got there it felt like an act of betrayal. Watching ‘Wayne’s World’ while they are trapped in the dark did not sit well with me." After an extensive search, the remains of the submersible were found on the ocean floor. The U.S. Coast Guard called it a "catastrophic implosion." "My first thought was, thank God," Dawood said. "When they said catastrophic, I knew Shahzada and Suleman didn’t even know about it. One moment they were there and the next they weren’t. Knowing they didn’t suffer has been so important. They’re gone, but the way they went does somehow make it easier." Once she knew they were gone, Dawood said she had to deal with the practical details. "What was I going to do with their stuff?" she said. "Their bags? Shahzada’s clothes and things were in my cabin, so I packed his bags. But I didn’t pack Suleman’s. I couldn’t. Someone else did that." RODEO STAR'S SON REMEMBERED BY FAMILY ON 1-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF DROWNING DEATH Last year, the Coast Guard released a report, calling the implosion a "preventable tragedy," blaming OceanGate’s culture of avoiding regulating and "negligence" on safety. "From the beginning, I had a lot of reasons to hate Stockton, but does that really help me?" Dawood said. "He died with them. If I’m angry with him, I’m giving him power, and I refuse to do that. I’m sure people will say I’m naive, but if I start to analyse every single thing, where does that lead me? So, I choose my own … not happiness but … I choose me, every day. If I don’t, I wouldn’t be here. I would have killed myself, for sure." She added that she tries to give her grief "attention." "So I go into Suleman’s room. Sometimes I find the cat sleeping on his pillow and I sit on the bed and let the grief come," she admitted. "And after a while I can put the grief away until the next time it gets too much. I’ve worked a lot on my grief for Suleman, but I’m only now starting to grieve for my husband. Publicly they are always put together, but they are two different relationships. Two very different pains." Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69edf300059ccda1fcc2b8bb SEN RAND PAUL: My plan would force Congress to stop overspending your hard-earned money te 2026-04-26T11:12:00.831Z SEN RAND PAUL: My plan would force Congress to stop overspending your hard-earned money The elaborate farce that is the congressional budget process is now in session. The Senate voted Wednesday, April 22, for a budget resolution, not because of some newfound fiscal sanity, but because the majority wishes to spend more money without paying for it. You see, a budget resolution is necessary to do an end run around the filibuster. Normally, a bill requires 60 votes in the Senate to overcome a filibuster, however, a budget resolution that contains specific instructions can unlock the ability to pass a budget reconciliation bill with only a simple majority, or 51 votes. One might be inclined to see value in this process in that it forces Congress to actually pass a budget — a rare occurrence under both parties. However, it turns out that many of the budgets that are passed are simply ignored. For example, take last year’s budget which called for spending $4.8 trillion for 2026. It turns out that Congress actually allowed $5.9 trillion to be spent. Just a minor rounding error of $1.1 trillion dollars! (Of course, I voted against this deficit spending) SENATE GOP TAKES FIRST STEP TOWARD UNLOCKING BUDGET RECONCILIATION TO FUND ICE, BORDER PATROL The problem is the budget has no binding force. The budget is a resolution but not an actual law. So, big spenders being big spenders, the appropriators of both parties simply ignore the budget limits and spend what they want. The result – the deficit last year was just short of $2 trillion, and the overall national debt now exceeds $39 trillion. Fast-forward to this latest debate over the budget. Many in Congress will simply argue that the budget is a fiction and merely a "vehicle" to evade the filibuster. For the most part, unfortunately, that’s true. It would be one thing if some great principle were being advanced such as reducing the taxes extracted from American individuals and businesses and balancing the budget. But, recently, the budget resolutions that have been advanced to simply enable the passage of reconciliation bills actually increase spending and increase the deficit. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION This latest budget bill is no different. It offers some unspecified cuts in spending levels but its authors acknowledge the reality that the appropriators will simply ignore these lower spending numbers and that, even after 10 years, the budget will still not balance. In contrast, I still continue to argue that any meaningful budget should cap spending and balance within a five-year time frame. My Six Penny Plan does just that. I chose five years to balance as that is the time frame included in the Balanced Budget Amendment proposed by conservatives to the Constitution and because anything beyond five years is really fiction and always altered in the interim. The budget before Congress never balances and, even after 10 years, will still be adding $600 billion annually to the debt. The burden of this enormous debt and the annual interest payments that exceed a trillion dollars will be our undoing. Our constitutional republic requires more. Our country deserves better. In the next month, I will again offer my Six Penny Plan to balance the budget in just five years. Conservatives across the country need to demand better from Congress. Our kids’ futures require a Congress that will finally and definitively balance the budget. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM SEN. RAND PAUL Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69edf2ed059ccda1fcc2b8b2 White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting sharpens focus on Trump’s ballroom construction proposal te 2026-04-26T11:11:41.004Z White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting sharpens focus on Trump’s ballroom construction proposal The shooting outside the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday evening has thrust fresh attention on President Donald Trump’s push to build a secure ballroom at the White House, a proposal he says could prevent such threats. A gunman armed with multiple weapons opened fire near a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton — where hundreds of journalists, celebrities and government officials were attending the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner. A Secret Service agent was struck but protected by a ballistic vest, and the suspect was quickly taken into custody, authorities said. Trump told reporters at the White House that he spoke with the agent, adding that he is expected to recover. SECRET SERVICE IN LINE OF FIRE AT WHCD SHOOTING STILL UNPAID DUE TO DEM-LED SHUTDOWN Trump pointed to the incident as evidence that the hotel venue was "not a particularly secure building," arguing that a new White House ballroom — equipped with features like bulletproof materials — would offer a safer alternative. But the proposal faces hurdles. The project has been slowed by legal challenges over whether the administration bypassed required approvals, with courts weighing the scope of presidential authority as the case moves forward. SPRAWLING NEW $250M WHITE HOUSE BALLROOM TO BE PAID FOR BY TRUMP AND DONORS The planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom has become a political flashpoint, with critics raising concerns about cost and preservation, while Trump and his allies frame it as a largely privately financed security upgrade. While the White House has hosted countless ceremonial events, it has never had a dedicated ballroom. The new structure would fill that gap, replacing the historic East Wing with a space built to accommodate large-scale gatherings. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the ballroom would seat roughly 650 guests and reflect the building’s classical design. "The White House is currently unable to host major functions honoring world leaders… without having to install a large and unsightly tent approximately 100 yards away," Leavitt said during a July 31 briefing, calling the project "a much-needed and exquisite addition." FROM THE OVAL OFFICE TO THE TRUMP KENNEDY CENTER, THE GILDED MAKEOVER EXPANDS Since returning to office, Trump, a former real estate developer, has embarked on a series of projects aimed at altering the look and feel of the White House and other iconic Washington landmarks. In February, the president announced in a Truth Social post that the Trump Kennedy Center will close for a two-year renovation. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP In October, Trump unveiled a new monument planned to commemorate the nation’s 250th anniversary next year. The monument, a near twin of Paris’ iconic Arc de Triomphe, is meant to welcome visitors crossing the Memorial Bridge from Arlington National Cemetery into the heart of the nation’s capital. Trump has also added golden accents to the Oval Office, added a "walk of fame" to the colonnade outside the Oval Office, renovated the Lincoln bathroom, paved part of the Rose Garden and installed two large American flags on the White House grounds.

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

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

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

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

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

During Wednesday's California gubernatorial debate, Democrat Katie Porter said she would "fight" the Trump administration after she was asked if English language proficiency should be strictly enforced for truck drivers. Her comments come amid a string of fatal incidents involving illegal immigrant drivers, including Harjinder Singh, who allegedly made an illegal U-turn on the Florida Turnpike in August, triggering a crash that left three dead, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

"What happens is the outcomes are like what my family's suffering through right now. So you take away these guardrails, you nullify federal law and then you implement no real process, an upfront process to understand who's coming into our communities. Are they vetted, they were not.

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

According to a press release from AARP Arizona, the bill is intended to provide an additional option for families seeking to monitor the care of residents who may be unable to report abuse or neglect. The amended measure now returns to the Arizona Senate for approval. SB 1041, if enacted, would permit residents or their representatives to install electronic monitoring devices, such as cameras, in long-term care settings under specified conditions. Another abuse case recently reported at an assisted living facility is adding more urgency to our SB 1041 Electronic Monitoring Bill aimed at protecting long-term care residents.

Kennedy cited a recent incident involving the alleged abuse of a dementia patient, which, according to the release, “came to light only after the resident’s daughter placed a camera in her mother’s room and captured what occurred, leading to the worker’s arrest.” According to AZ Family, Gamacy Gilles, 46, was arrested and accused of abusing a dementia patient at Grand Court Senior Living in Mesa on Sunday. “That case highlights why SB 1041 matters,” Kennedy said, “Families should not have to depend on chance or learn after the fact that a loved one was harmed.” Kennedy said the bill builds on several years of advocacy focused on improving safety and oversight in long-term care facilities. AARP Arizona has worked on related issues since 2017, according to the organization. AARP Arizona also acknowledged the bill’s sponsor, Wendy Rogers (R-LD6), and its House sponsor, Quang Nguyen (R-LD1), and urged the Arizona Senate to approve the measure.

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

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

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

About 40 students from Hancock Middle School were on board when their driver, Leah Taylor, 46, suffered an asthma attack shortly after leaving campus, according to The Associated Press. Taylor attempted to grab her medication but passed out before she could reach it. Without hesitation, the students sprang into action to keep the bus from crashing. WATCH: POLICE OFFICER, OFF-DUTY FIREFIGHTER SAVE WOMAN FROM BURNING VEHICLE: 'RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT TIME' Sixth grader Jackson Casnave, 12, who was sitting behind the driver, noticed the bus begin to swerve. He rushed forward to grab the wheel and called for help. "I didn’t have time to process my emotions," Casnave said. "I just wanted to make sure that nobody got hurt." Darrius Clark, who is also 12, then hit the brakes, and the students steered the bus to a median and brought it to a stop.

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

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

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

Pirro said that more charges are expected.  Allen was not struck by gunfire, Secret Service said, but was apprehended and taken to a local hospital, too.  President Donald Trump was whisked away from the venue by Secret Service along with First Lady Melania Trump and other high-level cabinet officials. A Secret Service officer was struck by a bullet in his ballistic vest, and was taken to a local hospital.  This story is developing. Please check back for updates.

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

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

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

The site of the Washington Hilton was also the location of the assassination attempt against President Ronald Reagan in 1981. Trump announced last month that he accepted the invitation to attend this year's dinner, explaining that the country's 250th anniversary influenced his decision. Trump's attendance marked the first time he had been present at the event as president in either term. Trump previously attended the dinner as a private citizen in 2011, when he was famously roasted by then-President Barack Obama. Trump faced two assassination attempts in 2024, including one in Pennsylvania when an assailant's bullet grazed his ear.

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

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

"Law enforcement has requested that we leave the premises consistent with protocol. [President Donald Trump] wanted to emphasize that nobody was hurt. He and the first lady, the Cabinet, everybody's safe," Jiang said. The crowd cheered at the news of the Cabinet's safety as Jiang confirmed Trump would be giving a press briefing from the White House after the events of the night, despite wanting to continue the dinner. TRUMP, FIRST LADY EVACUATED FROM WH CORRESPONDENTS’ DINNER AFTER GUNSHOTS HEARD "That is not a joke," Jiang said as the crowd laughed. "And he insists that we will reschedule this event in the next 30 days, and that he wanted to do it tonight. He wanted to continue despite the news, but has to follow security protocol." She continued, "I said earlier tonight that journalism is a public service because when there is an emergency, we run to the crisis, not away from it. And on a night when we are thinking about the freedoms in the First Amendment, we must also think about how fragile they are. I saw all of you reporting, and that‘s what we do. Thank God everybody is safe. And thank you for coming together tonight. We will do this again. Thank you." JIM ACOSTA URGES REPORTERS TO 'WALK THE F--- OUT' IF TRUMP LAUNCHES 'REVENGE ATTACK' AT CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER Jiang's comments came after a Truth Social post from Trump about his press conference. "Law Enforcement has requested that we leave the premises, consistent with protocol, which we will do, immediately. I will be giving a press conference in 30 minutes from the White House Press Briefing Room. The First Lady, plus the Vice President, and all Cabinet members, are in perfect condition. We will be speaking to you in a half an hour. I have spoken with all the representatives in charge of the event, and we will be rescheduling within 30 days," Trump wrote.

The site of the Washington Hilton was also the location of the assassination attempt against President Ronald Reagan in 1981. Trump announced last month that he accepted the invitation to attend this year's dinner, explaining that the country's 250th anniversary influenced his decision. Trump's attendance marked the first time he has been present at the event as president in either term. Trump previously attended the dinner as a private citizen in 2011, when he was famously roasted by then-President Barack Obama. Trump faced two assassination attempts in 2024, including one in Pennsylvania when an assailant's bullet grazed his ear.

The 43-year-old actress wore an intricately designed black gown that blended sheer sensuality with sculptural detail to the London premiere on April 23. The look featured a striking, web-like bodice crafted from black corded embellishments that formed an ornate, almost gothic pattern across her chest and shoulders.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/69ed6f8b059ccda1fcc29e13 Leighton Accardo’s legacy alive and well despite loss of Coyotes te 2026-04-26T01:51:07.341Z Leighton Accardo’s legacy alive and well despite loss of Coyotes PHOENIX — Leighton Accardo’s name will always be linked to the Arizona Coyotes. The Gilbert native captured the hearts of the Valley hockey community during her courageous, 18-month battle with cancer. She was honored on Hockey Fights Cancer Night on Nov. 16, 2019, and signed an honorary one-day contract with the team that same night. Three months after she died at age 9 on Nov. 24, 2020, Arizona Kachinas president and co-founder Lyndsey Fry launched Skatin’ for Leighton with a 96-mile skate across the Valley to raise awareness and funds for the Leighton Accardo Memorial Fund. And two months after that, the Coyotes inducted Accardo into their ring of honor, making her the only non-player or staff member inducted. So, when the Coyotes relocated to Salt Lake City after the 2023-24 season, Accardo’s parents, Jeremy and Carly, had a concern. “When they moved, it kind of felt like we were going to lose a little bit of the support,” Jeremy Accardo said. “I was concerned that the event (Skatin’ for Leighton) would lose its support as well, but I was very wrong,” Carly Accardo added. Thanks to the efforts of Fry, the Accardo family and the greater hockey community, Skatin’ for Leighton and Leighton’s legacy are alive and thriving. Now in its sixth year, Skatin’ for Leighton will take place at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick on Sunday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event will feature a year-end celebration for the Kachinas, the all-girls youth hockey program for which Accardo played. It will also feature the usual skating portion, but Fry has added other elements as well. There will be signed jerseys available for auction from NHL stars Jack Hughes, Quinn Hughes, Macklin Celebrini, Clayton Keller and Alex Ovechkin. There will be a dunk tank, and the event will also have a significant baseball component. Participants at Skatin’ for Leighton can play stickball and get signatures from former MLB players J.J. Hardy, Jonny Gomes and Daniel Hudson. “When Leighton was young and she was playing hockey, she was not only just a standout hockey player and a standout figure skater. She was also a standout baseball player,” said Jeremy Accardo, a Mesa High School graduate who pitched eight seasons in the majors and is now the pitching coach at Arizona State. “So it’s more than just hockey. I think last year our entire ASU baseball team came out. Guys that I played with in pro ball came out.” Leighton Accardo with Arizona Kachinas coach and Skatin’ for Leighton founder Lyndsey Fry. (Photo courtesy of Lyndsey Fry) Skatin’ for Leighton’s central focus is to honor Leighton’s legacy while fundraising for girls youth hockey, but the way that looks has changed dramatically. “The first year was just Lyndsey skating 96 miles across the Valley, hitting every single rink and I was bringing in sponsorship and donations,” Carly Accardo said. “Once we took the event and included the public, we started including the bigger auction items and other ways to raise money.” Skatin’ for Leighton takes significant time and energy to plan between finding a venue, coordinating schedules, finding sponsors, contracting vendors, holding an auction and more. The Coyotes used to provide much of this support, but with the organization leaving for Utah, there was uncertainty regarding the future of Skatin’ for Leighton. “Frankly, without the Coyotes and just access to staffing and access to, you know, those things that were kind of donated in kind by the Coyotes and by the foundation, it takes a lot of volunteer work,” Fry said. For Fry, uncertainty is no longer a concern. “Not having the NHL team here has actually, I think, elevated the event in the sense that now that it’s not just like one team that we have rally around us,” Fry said. “We’re getting support from teams all over the country.” The continued support from the hockey community makes the effort worthwhile and rewarding for all involved.  “It still kind of means something for us to have that as a platform to tell her story, to get more people into hockey, to give kids opportunities to play and just grow as human beings,” Jeremy Accardo said. As the event expands its footprint into youth hockey and baseball, so does the buy-in from these communities. Skatin’ for Leighton has attracted up to 180 participants in a single year. “It raises money for the Leighton Accardo (Memorial) Fund, and that scholarship fund helps put girls that might not be able to pay for hockey through the Kachinas program,” Carly Accardo said. “It’s no secret that hockey is expensive. It’s borderline silly expensive, and we don’t want financials to be the reason that a girl can’t play this amazing game of hockey.” The more people show up for Skatin’ for Leighton, the more the Accardo family and Fry are assured that Leighton’s name will live on. “We will never not honor her and everything that she kind of represented for our community,” Fry said. While Skatin’ for Leighton aims to benefit as many girls as possible, the Accardo family has one goal they strive for every year, inspired, of course, by Leighton. “I always like the goal, just because Leighton’s number was 49, of (raising) $49,000,” Carly Accardo said.As more funds are raised, more girls will have the opportunity to write their own story in the sport of hockey.

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

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

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