Kevin Morris’ map of thoughts about Biden’s laptop that he has shared with confidants. A third laptop belonging to Hunter was stolen by Russian drug dealers in August 2018, during a bender in Las Vegas, according to Hunter, who recorded himself telling the tale in a video on the Mac Isaac laptop. In other words, these videos are unique to the Mac Isaac laptop, confirming that it is not a clone of the earlier Ablow laptop. The publication date of the column corroborates the time stamp of the video, created 23 days after Hunter left his second laptop with Ablow. He even flew to Serbia with a film crew in November and infiltrated the set of “My Son Hunter,” an upcoming movie about Hunter’s ­laptop.

"The Next Revolution" host Steve Hilton examined the extent to which colleges have been infiltrated by the left's "woke" ideology on his show Sunday, arguing that the "cure for the woke mind virus" can only be found where it originated; at institutions of higher learning. WOKE UNIVERSITIES' NEWEST SOCIAL JUSTICE CRUSADE: FIGHTING ‘FATPHOBIA’STEVE HILTON: This is where it all starts, with academics and theorists and over time your local school board, your employers, HR department, AOC, teenagers, they're all speaking fluent ‘woke.' But to fight back against ‘wokeism,’ it is not enough just to rail against cancel culture, or complain about woke corporations. The cure for the woke mind virus will be found in the very spot where society got sick in the first place. Institutions of higher learning are incredibly influential, whether we like it or not, they incubate the leaders of society.

Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., critiqued President Biden’s foreign policy in regard to Taiwan on "Sunday Night in America." Host Trey Gowdy asked him specifically on Biden’s recent comments stating that the U.S. would get involved militarily to defend Taiwan should China invade.

TEXAS SCHOOL SHOOTING: LIVE UPDATESTREY GOWDY: Schools and churches were once safe havens seemingly immune from the evils of the outside world. When 20 children were murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School I knew this country would do something…. I knew this country would come together, despite our differences to make sure elementary schools were safe. Those that talk about the sanctity of life, prove it by protecting the lives of children. There is seemingly nothing that we cannot do, except keep children alive while simply attending elementary school… Hearing that children were killed again saddens every person of good conscience.

Sealed inside a plastic bag, a photograph of George Bellinger floated away from a rented motor boat and disappeared into the Pacific Ocean. Just like he did. Sixty-three years before his eldest son and a grandson he never met closed a chapter in family history by visiting Jaluit Atoll on a propeller plane in 2005, Navy Lt. George Bellinger was last seen above those waters as the leader of a bombing section during the raid on the Marshall Islands in World War II. Bellinger flew one of 28 planes that took off from the deck of the USS Yorktown and soared into the stormy early-morning darkness on Feb. 1, 1942, as part of America’s first major offensive after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The 31-year-old pilot never returned to the ship, nor to his family in Glens Falls, N.Y., but he left behind a lineage that now stretches into the NFL.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Sweden and Finland of supporting terrorism on Saturday, indicating that Ankara likely won't let up its opposition to the Scandinavian countries joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine. "For as long as Tayyip Erdogan is the head of the Republic of Turkey, we definitely cannot say 'yes' to countries which support terrorism entering NATO," Erdogan told reporters as he returned from Azerbaijan on Saturday.

New York Democrats have been whining since the state Court of Appeals tossed their gerrymandered US House and state Senate maps on April 28, but they have only themselves to blame. Rather than follow the Constitution, the Legislature took over the process before the commission submitted a second plan. While it is beyond doubt that the independent commission process broke down, many suspect that this was the scheme all along. Faced with the explicit language in the state Constitution, the courts issued a strong rebuke to the Legislature and Gov. The plans create many competitive House and state Senate seats while protecting minority voting rights.

The MTA and union officials are asking New York state lawmakers to pass a bill that would protect more transit workers from assaults before the legislative session ends, The Post has learned. Under current law, individuals who assault or harass certain transit workers — such as subway train operators or conductors — “with intent to cause physical injury” can be charged with assault in the second degree.

Comedian Dean Obeidallah wrote a column for MSNBC on Saturday that argued the right to own a gun was decided by a "cravenly political" Supreme Court rather than the U.S. Constitution. Obeidallah argued while the Second Amendment referenced the right to "bear arms," it wasn’t until the 2008 court decision that the nation decided to codify "an individual’s constitutional right to have a gun." If the framers wanted to create a constitutional right to gun ownership, then they would have made the Second Amendment a mirror of the First Amendment," Obeidallah wrote. You don’t need to be a lawyer to understand that the Second Amendment was never intended to provide an individual a constitutional right to possess a gun. Some liberal activists like filmmaker Michael Moore called for the repeal of the Second Amendment.

Former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton says it is “mind-boggling” how much Texas authorities mishandled last week’s school massacre. “It’s mind-boggling and frustrating.”Bratton, who also headed the Los Angeles and Boston police departments, said Texas authorities failed to adopt active-shooter guidelines that came about after the 1999 Columbine High School mass shooting in Colorado. “He opted to keep those 19 officers outside the classroom.”Meanwhile, “the misinformation that’s been put out by government officials in Texas is mind-blowing,” too, Bratton said. During Bratton’s radio interview, he said his “pride” in his profession had been “diminished” by the police response in Texas.

Morally, Vladimir Putin deserves to keep none of his territorial gains. Russian President Vladimir Putin cannot be trusted with ending his invasion on his own promise. Even temporary, internationally unrecognized territorial gains for Putin will be a bitter pill for Ukraine.

And the US and allies can, must, take real steps to make sure that any future Putin incursion would get stopped cold.

Amtrak’s purchase of a building in Wilmington, Delaware for a massive $41 million was based on "significant yet faulty assumptions," according to the agency’s internal watchdog which criticized the purchase in a report. The Amtrak Office of Inspector General said that the purchase of the building for a Unified Operations Center (UOC) program in President Biden’s home state was "largely premised on two significant yet faulty assumptions." The second, linked assumption, was that the purchase would save money to the tune of $50 million. "Neither has materialized because the company did not effectively verify the feasibility of centralizing these personnel and functions including retrofitting the building to accommodate significant IT requirements before purchasing the building," the report said. It would also bring in IT personnel from Atlanta and Washington D.C., saving money on leased space.

The Department of the Navy this week released its strategy for how it will deal with climate change and proceed toward the government’s goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. “Climate change is one of the most destabilizing forces of our time, exacerbating other national security concerns and posing serious readiness challenges,” Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro said in the introduction to the 32-page report. “Our naval and amphibious forces are in the crosshairs of the climate crisis and this strategy provides the framework to empower us to meaningfully reduce the threat of climate change.”Setting the department on a course to combat climate change is a main priority of Del Toro’s tenure. While the iconic Parris Island and mid-Atlantic naval bases are threatened by climate change, Pentagon officials have also warned of a warming planet’s effect on the military’s Arctic and subarctic bases.

The lack of a police radio may explain why Arredondo decided to hold officers back as multiple students called 911 from inside the school begging for help, investigators believe. Cops entered the school about two minutes after the gunman, who barricaded himself in a classroom, where all 21 victims were slain. Col.

During the latest episode of MSNBC’s The Cross Connection with Tiffany Cross on Saturday, leftist police reform activist Brittany Packnett Cunningham claimed the recent Texas school shooting is further proof that America must abolish the police. Cunningham told Cross she believed that law enforcement’s mistakes during the Uvalde, Texas school shooting – namely, reports that officers waited outside the classroom as the shooter committed his massacre – means policing as it currently stands needs to be gutted.

He drove on to the campus, but he was not on campus, as we were told and led to believe. And for me, it's 140 or 150 people killed in Texas in the last six or seven years of collective anger when we're not told the truth.

A Honduran MS-13 gang member and illegal immigrant with prior deportations has been sentenced for 90 months in federal prisons for drug and gun crimes, the Department of Justice announced Friday. Franklin Pinedo-Caceras, nicknamed "Bomba," had entered the U.S. illegally in 2014, and was deported in 2016.

Former Harlem Assemblyman Keith Wright was wronged, according to his $10 million lawsuit against the city. “My arrest and incarcerations embarrassed and humiliated me to such a degree, that I was grossly ashamed and depressed,” he says in the Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit. Wright, 66, was arrested Sept. 16 for allegedly leaving the scene after hitting an e-bike rider with his car door at 138th Street and 5th Avenue in Harlem. “And of course, not to mention how filthy it was.” He was “so mentally devastated and embarrassed by his arrest that he was somewhat dysfunctional,” court papers claim. Johnson later pleaded guilty to a lesser charge and in 2018 ran unopposed for a Manhattan judgeship — a move Wright, as party leader, greenlit.

As with many gunmen of mass shootings, the Uvalde shooter exhibited several warning signs before his attack, yet no one intervened. Daniel was a student at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. Gun violence is a public health epidemic — not a partisan issue, and demands smart, strategic policy solutions.

Greg Abbott voiced his support for providing private school vouchers and charter school opportunities for students in Texas. Abbott is not alone in advocating for increased parental empowerment: 32 states and the District of Columbia provide parents with school vouchers, educational savings plans and tax-credit scholarships. The vast majority of voters support school choice policies. Public schools spend an average of $16,000 per year per student, while private schools spend $12,000 per student per year on average — a 25% savings. Prolonged pandemic-era school closures — and multi-billion dollar school bailouts — are helping to boost support for where and how parents educate their kids.

Russia has successfully tested a hypersonic Zircon cruise missile, the country's Ministry of Defense said Saturday. Video shows the missile fired from the Barents Sea and striking a target in the White Sea with great precision. Russia recently completed test launches of the Sarmat – an intercontinental missile that can carry nuclear warheads, according to reports. While countries including the U.S., China, Israel, and others also boast extensive nuclear programs with evolving weaponry, Russia currently maintains the world's largest stockpile of nuclear warheads by sheer volume. The United Kingdom's Ministry of Defense reported Friday that Russia has recently begun deploying the 50-year-old tanks from deep storage.

THIS IS HOW MUCH YOUR MEMORIAL DAY ROAD TRIP WILL COST WITH RECORD HIGH GAS PRICESWhy are gas prices up? Democrats have run Washington for 16 months, yet they have done nothing to increase the supply of American energy. On Biden’s first day in office, he cancelled the Keystone pipeline, which would have lowered energy prices in this country. Democrats seem utterly oblivious to the pain and suffering that high gas prices are causing to families across the country. Last week I asked the Secretary of the Interior if she thought that gas prices were too high.

The U.S. targeted two Russian banks Friday as part of new sanctions over alleged support for North Korea and its nuclear and ballistic missile programs. The sanctions come after what the U.S. says were three new ballistic missile launches by North Korea on Tuesday, including one intercontinental ballistic missile. The new sanctions also target a Belarus-based North Korea man who the United States says was helping generate funding for the missile launches, and a trading company. NORTH KOREA LAUNCHES 3 TEST MISSILES AS BIDEN LEAVES ASIABIDEN, SOUTH KOREA TO COORDINATE ON NORTH KOREA NUCLEAR THREAT RESPONSEOn Thursday, China and Russia vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution sponsored by the United States that would have imposed tough new sanctions on North Korea for its spate of intercontinental ballistic missile launches that can be used to deliver nuclear weapons. Thursday's vote represented the first serious division among the five veto-wielding permanent members of the U.N.’s most powerful body on a North Korea sanctions resolution.

“Russian forces have performed poorly in operations in built-up urban terrain throughout the war,” they said. Russian troops advanced after piercing Ukrainian lines last week in the city of Popasna, south of Sievierodonetsk. A building is seen heavily damaged amid Ukraine and Russia’s war in the town of Popasna near the Luhansk region of Ukraine on May 27, 2022. Russian forces shelled parts of Kharkiv on Thursday for the first time in days killing nine people, authorities said. Another official said Russian forces had shelled the town of Zelenodolsk.

“We’re not on a tentative list? The Democratic Party has revealed itself. It’s very glaring that [Brooklyn congresswoman] Nydia Velázquez is not on the speaking list.

We have to be at the table.”He said the snafu spoke to a broader problem in the Democratic Party.

Rep. Beth Van Duyne, R-Texas, said Democrats are politicizing gun safety and advocated for school resource officers on Friday's "The Ingraham Angle" in the aftermath of the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. If you look at all the policies that have been thrown out there — you look at the ones that work, without a doubt, having school resource officers on campus works. And he's talking about how in his years, his career he spent with all these bills on gun control and on gun safety. This problem has gotten worse. And we're sitting here now having to deal with him talk to us and taking solutions off the table.

Physician Dr. Pierre Kory explained how his anti-establishment views on COVID-19 affected his change in political parties Friday on "The Ingraham Angle." DR. PIERRE KORY: Science should not be involved with politics, and I'm seeing these divisions breaking out in medicine that seem to be influenced by political allegiances. It's extremely dystopian, and I find it really disorienting, and it's bad for medicine. The lack of self-awareness — of really what I'm seeing now from the Left and from Left-leaning media — that they're abandoning their principles. It's absolutely going to hurt medicine if he keeps doing this, and it has to stop.

I mean, I'm a powerful cog in this machine we call the media, but I don't have that kind of influence.

Democrats push the same set of policy prescriptions after each horrific mass shooting like Tuesday’s massacre of 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. But as we suffer through yet another anguishing episode in our epidemic of gun violence, unique to the US, it’s time for a new idea — one based in evidence and data. Age-based restrictions that keep guns away from young men offer our best hope for addressing a genuine crisis and saving lives. Auto-insurance rates are higher for drivers under 25, because, statistically, they are responsible for more accidents than any other group. But one thing is certain: If we continue to let young men have guns, we’ll continue to witness gut-wrenching tragedies.

A spokesperson for the Daily Beast did not directly respond to Fox News' inquiry regarding the status of its legal battle. The Times reported that while Hunter Biden has "paid off a significant tax liability," a federal grand jury has subpoenaed witnesses and documents regarding his foreign business dealings.

The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Police leadership must resign and the agency needs a rigorous independent investigation following their "colossal" tactical breakdown revealed in the latest reportage from the site of the school shooting. Aaron Cohen, a former member of the Israeli Special Operations Unit, told Fox News on Friday the breakdown was "inexplicable." UVALDE MAYOR CONDEMNS O'ROURKE'S OUTBURSTCohen surmised the agency had not engaged in strenuous enough "stress training" in reference to the officers reportedly "froze under duress."

Kapler spoke with reporters ahead of Friday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds to explain his choice not to participate in the national anthem, a decision he first revealed in a lengthy blog post earlier in the day. "I don’t plan on coming out for the anthem going forward until I feel better about the direction of our country," he told reporters.

Former Trump adviser Stephen Miller said President Biden does not have the "presence of mind" to control his own government on Friday's "Jesse Watters Primetime." He called for a "thunderous repudiation" in the November midterm elections to thwart "permanent and irrevocable" damage. STEPHEN MILLER: It's been the most disastrous first half of a presidency that I think has occurred in American history.

The prospect of numerous trapped Uvalde, Texas, students calling 911 pleading for police action should have spurred a full-throated response from district officers, a former FBI official told Fox News on Friday. Former assistant bureau director Chris Swecker said the school district authorities should have shifted their tactics immediately upon hearing of the 911 calls. "A lot of things went wrong here. LIVE UPDATES: UVALDE TEXAS SCHOOL SHOOTINGHe cited McCraw's news conference explanation, that two Uvalde CISD officers went inside the building while 19 others gathered outside, before a decision came down to wait to engage the shooter.

New York’s waterways are so polluted with abandoned trash-filed boats and other large debris that the city must create a new office to oversee a mass cleanup of the long-standing eyesores, insist two Queens pols who aim to introduce legislation to do just that. Both council members represent neighborhoods overlooking Jamaica Bay, a notorious dumping ground for rogue boat owners and other illegal dumpers. Courtesy of Councilwomen Joann Ariola's OfficeDan Mundy Jr., president Jamaica Bay Ecowatchers, hailed the plan, saying abandoned boats lead to fuel and all sorts of debris polluting the waters.

Ukraine is gearing up for a different type of warfare in its eastern regions as Russia looks to completely control the Donbas. "All indications are that the battlefield dynamics will soon shift from closer-range combat to longer-range fires where artillery and multiple launch rocket systems are critical," he added. GERMANY HALTS ARMS SHIPMENTS TO UKRAINE, WILL PROVIDE TRAINING AND MAINTENANCE INSTEADSeveral other allies like the U.K., Canada, Czech Republic and the Netherlands have boosted their support for Ukraine. Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Germany would send Ukraine spare parts for its vehicles and defensive machinery and will work with other nations on increasing their defensive aid. We must move swiftly, together, to immediately provide Ukraine with capabilities to protect its civilians from the horrors of this war – from atrocities like those in Bucha, Hostomel, and Borodianka," he added.

Other Eastern European nations could be next if the Russian conquest of Ukraine succeeds, President Volodymyr Zelensky said. “The invasion of Ukraine is only the beginning. Then they want to invade other countries,” Zelensky said in a Friday evening address.

The region bears similarities to breakaway areas of eastern Ukraine with large Russian speaking populations which Russia has used as a pretext for its war of aggression against the country.

Russia plans to test nuclear weapons capable of hitting the United States and Europe by autumn, an official said. The nukes will be deployed to the Krasnoyarsk region of Siberia, about 1,800 miles from Moscow, Rogozin said. The missiles, which have long been plagued by delays, technical issues and funding shortages, were successfully test launched Thursday, stoking renewed fears of nuclear war“The prospect of nuclear conflict, once unthinkable, is now back within the realm of possibility,” United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said last month. APThe nukes will be deployed to the Krasnoyarsk region of Siberia, about 1,800 miles from Moscow. APRussian autocrat Vladimir Putin has repeatedly threatened to deploy his nuclear arsenal during the Ukraine invasion — which has proceeded notably badly for the Russians so far.

Indeed, on April 15, Zelensky announced that the world should “be ready” for the possibility that Putin will use nuclear weapons in Ukraine — a concern shared by CIA Director William Burns. Earlier this month, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said the world should “be ready” for Russia using nuclear weapons in his country. AFP via Getty ImagesAnd yet, Russia holds the trump card in that fight: the world’s most formidable arsenal of nuclear weapons, with a ten-to-one advantage over the US in tactical atomic stockpile. After the initial multi-step verification that communication links to Putin’s war room are not working, in about 15-60 minutes, the autonomous computerized system would send signals to nuclear weapons silos, directing all remaining Russian nuclear missiles to launch. The country’s so-called “Dead Hand” system reportedly has the ability to launch all of Russia’s nuclear weapons at the US homeland at once.

"No child attending public school should have to pray to play school sports," said Americans United for Separation of Church and State president Rachel Laser, the group representing the school district. But high school football is his passion. The justices in other similar past disputes has generally prohibited public school prayer, even if it is voluntary. In a 2001 ruling involving a Texas high school policy allowing student-led, student-initiated prayer at high school football games, the high court found it violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. On the larger constitutional questions, lawyers for the school district say personal faith is sullied when mixed with government.

The estimated total for the Powerball jackpot soared after no one picked the lucky numbers in Wednesday’s drawing. The jackpot now sits at an estimated $400 million with a cash option of $240.8 million, according to the Powerball website. Lottery hopefuls have come up empty since two California and Wisconsin residents claimed the $632.6 million jackpot in January. January’s drawing marked the first time someone hit the Powerball jackpot since Oct. 4. A single ticket in California took home $699 million in the historic drawing — the seventh-largest in US lottery history and fifth-biggest Powerball win, officials said.

Ukraine’s Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said the heartbreaking situation in Mariupol is the “biggest humanitarian catastrophe” of the century. This is the biggest humanitarian catastrophe during this and maybe during the last centuries, because many thousands of people have died in Mariupol,” he said. “This is a war of the Russian army against our Ukrainian civilians, against Ukrainians,” Shmyhal said. And we agreed and we want stop this war.”Satellite images released Thursday showed what appeared to be mass graves near Mariupol. As many as 9,000 Ukraine civilians could have been executed by Russian forces and buried in mass graves outside Mariupol, according to local leaders.

However, while many members of Congress are using this month to advocate for second chances, some will use it to criticize improvements to the justice system. It is improving it by incentivizing incarcerated individuals to stay crime-free once they leave the federal justice system. It also shows that those who obtain employment are far less likely to reoffend and reenter the criminal justice system. Rather than utilizing Second Chance Month as a vehicle to attack prior improvements to our federal criminal justice system, this month should be about exploring ways to build on these prior successes. Republicans and Democrats in Congress must utilize Second Chance Month as an opportunity to expedite more reforms, and they should ignore critics’ baseless finger-pointing and continue onward.

Ukraine on Saturday announced there were humanitarian evacuation corridors opened around Mariupol, but warned Moscow was running "parallel" routes headed for Russia. "Just received information that the occupiers may try to organize their corridor in parallel with us for evacuation to Russia," Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereschuk took to Facebook to warn. UKRAINE SAYS RUSSIA LOOKS TO ‘REPLENISH’ TROOPS BY CONSCRIPTING UKRAINIANSBut Vereschuk criticized Russian claims Friday that a separate evacuation route was unnecessary for civilians stuck in the war-torn city. Additionally, reports have surfaced for weeks that Russian troops are forcibly deporting Ukrainians to camps in Russia. Ukrainian officials warned Russia is looking to not only draft a referendum to take over portions of southern Ukraine, but will forcibly conscript Ukrainian men in the regions to "replenish" its personnel losses.

Vance Saturday will likely be the biggest event of the hotly-contested race — and the race may be the biggest test of Trump's endorsement power yet. Trump backed Vance for the GOP Senate nomination in Ohio after months of the top candidates jockeying for his support. But it seems to me like Trump's endorsement could easily propel Vance to a victory." The Trump endorsement of Vance doesn't appear to have quelled concerns about him from at least some Ohio activists. This is not going to reduce Trump's support among Republican voters because his preferred choice lost by two points, if that's what happens."

But the court so far has the state Senate maps intact, though those are equally skewed (they’re fruits of the same insanely partisan process) and directly benefit the Democratic legislators who dictated them. Andrew Cuomo-appointed Dems utterly dominate the Court of Appeals, so cross your fingers that its members decide as judges, not as politicians. Vaughn Golden/WSKG via AP, PoolLook, this isn’t hard: If the House maps violate the Constitution, so do the Senate maps. Letting the Senate maps stand would be a crime against the people of New York. If the Court of Appeals signs off on the gerrymander, it’s declaring itself nothing but a bunch of Democratic hacks camouflaged in black robes.

Gov’t watchdog: What’s Behind Joe’s Voter Drive? President Biden’s order for federal agencies to promote voting “may sound benign,” but it isn’t, warn Tarren Bragdon and Stewart Whitson at The Wall Street Journal.

Ron DeSantis signed a bill Friday banning critical race theory at both schools and such events as workplace training sessions, calling the concept an instrument of division. DeSantis and others have described CRT as the notion that race determines one’s standing — either as an oppressor or a victim.

But proponents argue that America’s scarred racial history is not sufficiently examined in public schools and that kids should be exposed to a fuller history of the nation. Ron DeSantis said his state’s schools already provide a thorough historical education.

One of the silver linings of the very large dark cloud of Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is the clarity it provides. This is, broadly speaking, a contest between good guys and bad guys. Yes, nations have interests, but the way they define their interests is not always strictly rational.

It is Russian policy to undermine our interests and the interests of our allies around the world.

HENRY CUELLAR: I certainly have talked to folks at the White House and at … Homeland Security, and I think the career people - that is the men and women in green and blue - understand what the problem is.

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., told "The Faulkner Focus" on Friday that Americans are just as confused about the mask mandate as President Biden appears to be. CDC ASKS JUSTICE DEPARTMENT TO PROCEED WITH MASK MANDATE APPEALTOM COTTON: I think Americans are confused about the masking policy because Joe Biden is confused about masking policy and about COVID more generally.

Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley said on "America's Newsroom" Friday that the Democrats cannot claim to be "protecting democracy" while courts throw out their gerrymandered congressional maps.

Former President Barack Obama railed against what he called "disinformation" in a recent speech claiming that he regrets not combating its spread during his presidency and said that "people are dying" because of it. The former president also explained that Americans are "dying" due to disinformation, particularly related to the coronavirus vaccine. Obama’s foundation announced earlier this week that it has formed a new initiative aimed at stopping the spread of disinformation. "In recent years, we've seen how quickly disinformation spreads, especially on social media," Obama tweeted. "Tomorrow, Barack Obama is the keynote speaker at a Stanford University forum on ‘disinformation,’" Republican Congressman Darrell Issa tweeted.

"Albany Democrats violated the New York State Constitution and drew egregious, unfair, and unconstitutional lines to benefit Democrat elected officials." But the judges ruled the 2022 congressional map itself "was drawn to discourage competition and favor Democrats." "That's unconstitutional in New York and today an appeals court agreed that the Congressional map needs to be redrawn." The GOP lawsuit against the new district lines cited computer simulations by election analyst Sean Trende, who found the maps were gerrymandered. Democratic legislative leaders indicated they would appeal the decision to the New York Court of Appeals, the state’s highest court.

Two men who collected money from the public under the promise of using the funds to build a border wall have been arrested on fraud charges. Brian Kolfage and Andrew Badolato both plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud Thursday in a Manhattan federal court, according to the New York Post. The duo admitted to lying to donors, saying that they intended from the beginning to use the funds for personal gain. The pair took large salaries from the donations and covered their tracks by lying on their tax forms. "I knew what I was doing was wrong and a crime," said Kolfage, according to the New York Post.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday warned residents in regions to the south and west of Donetsk against providing personal information to Russian soldiers. "I urge the residents of the southern regions of Ukraine - Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions - to be very careful about what information you provide to the invaders," he said in an address. Zelenskyy warned that attempts to annex additional regions in Ukraine will not be tolerated and threatened additional financial repercussions. If someone wants a new annexation, it can only lead to new powerful sanctions strikes on Russia," he said. "You will make your country as poor as Russia hasn’t been since the 1917 civil war.

Parents spent much of 2021 fighting back against COVID-19 regulations and controversial curricula in their children's schools, but now they're mobilizing ahead of the midterms this fall in a move to expand their influence. Parents' Rights in Education has also launched a federal PAC in the last few years and endorsed candidates in school board races. A Fox News poll just ahead of Election Day showed Youngkin ahead of McAuliffe with parents by a double-digit margin in the wake of the gaffe. "Educators welcome parent involvement in schools, because our kids do best when teachers, parents and caregivers work together," said AFT president Randi Weingarten in a statement to Fox News. Advocates encouraged parents to use Youngkin's tip line – initially set up to allow parents to voice concerns and complaints about educators – to call for an inclusive curriculum instead.

Republican Florida Senate President Wilton Simpson on Wednesday hit back at White House press secretary Jen Psaki for how she characterized Florida’s parental rights law. I’m sure she has plenty of problems in Washington to take care of and she should leave Florida’s legislation to Florida. PSAKI FIGHTS BACK TEARS OVER FLORIDA'S PARENTAL RIGHTS BILL, SAYS IT'S HURTING CHILDREN'S 'LIVES'Psaki broke into tears while discussing Florida’s controversial parental rights bill in a podcast released this week. Ron DeSantis signed into law a parental rights bill that bans teachers from giving classroom instruction on "sexual orientation" or "gender identity" in kindergarten through third grade. And when liberal elitists attack our parental rights, Florida is going to stand up.

Fauci’s irksome comments happened during a Thursday interview with CBS News about U.S. District Court Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle striking down the travel mask mandate on Monday. During the segment on the streaming show "Red & Blue," CBS anchor Robert Costa asked Fauci, "Do you personally agree or disagree with her interpretation of public health law?" This is a public health matter, not a judicial matter." "So, obviously the CDC will abide by the order of the court because it’s a legal obligation," he continued. Of course it's CDC's job, not a judge's, to make public health policy.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced Friday that his country plans to reopen its embassy in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv next week as he vowed that the "United Kingdom and our allies will not watch passively as Putin carries on this onslaught." The reopening comes after Britain announced on Feb. 18 – before Russia’s bloody invasion began – that its embassy and staff in Kyiv was relocating temporarily to the western Ukrainian city of Lviv. RUSSIA INVADES UKRAINE: LIVE UPDATESJohnson also said Putin made a "catastrophic blunder" by invading Ukraine, but it remained a possibility that Russia could still win there, Reuters reports. "The situation is, I'm afraid, unpredictable at this stage, but we've just got to be realistic about that," Johnson reportedly said. He was also quoted as saying that "we’re looking at sending tanks to Poland to help them as they send some of their T-72s [tanks] to Ukraine."

A liberal author is lecturing "selfish" Americans for opposing the Biden administration's student loan forgiveness policy, describing their disdain for it as "dark jealousy, bitterness and animosity." "What I did not think was how unfair it was that my husband and I, who once owed a combined $180,000 in student debt, wouldn’t be partaking in the loan forgiveness bounty," she added. "The debate about student loan forgiveness also reveals a misguided take on fairness. "Would it have been nice to have access to a loan forgiveness program myself? The Biden administration erased the debt of 40,000 students earlier this week, marking the first of potentially 4 million more people having their student loans forgiven.

A liberal columnist, writing in The Hill on Wednesday, claimed Twitter isn’t actually biased against conservatives, conservatives are just more likely to spread "misinformation." Paul M. Barrett’s opinion piece, headlined, "Musk says Twitter is biased against conservatives — facts say otherwise," knocked Tesla CEO Elon Musk for saying that he was "worried about de facto bias in ‘the Twitter algorithm.'" TWITTER, FACEBOOK, GOOGLE HAVE REPEATEDLY CENSORED CONSERVATIVES DESPITE LIBERAL DOUBTSDespite the headline, the columnist acknowledged that a recent study found Twitter censors conservative accounts at a higher rate than liberals. Barrett’s source was a preliminary study from MIT, Yale and the University of Exeter which questioned, "Is Twitter biased against conservatives?" One of the most well-known cases of Twitter bias came during the 2020 election.

Tennessee's Republican governor temporarily called off what would have been the state’s first execution since the start of the coronavirus pandemic citing an "oversight" in the state’s lethal injection preparation. Bill Lee didn’t elaborate on what exactly forced the surprise 11th-hour stop to the planned execution of 72-year-old Oscar Smith. "Due to an oversight in preparation for lethal injection, the scheduled execution of Oscar Smith will not move forward tonight. Henry said the governor did the "right thing" by stopping the execution which would "certainly have been torturous to Mr. Just before learning of his reprieve, Smith had received communion from his spiritual adviser and had also been served his last meal which included a double cheeseburger and apple pie hours earlier.

President Biden's approval ratings continue to fall precipitously among Hispanics in the United States. Biden's approval ratings among Hispanics are down to 26%, according to a recent Quinnipiac poll. This is a nearly 10 point drop from Biden's approval rating on April 6, when he maintained approximately 34% of the Hispanic population. Hispanic voters are now evenly split in their support between Democrats and Republicans, a sharp turn from their previously overwhelming support for the former. All predicted big gains in support for Republicans from Hispanic voters.

President Biden’s "woke" policies are turning off Latinos and many Democrats, a former California state senator warned Friday on "Fox & Friends First." BIDEN APPROVAL RATING LOWEST WITH HISPANIC VOTERS, POLL FINDSBiden's approval ratings continue to fall precipitously among Hispanics in the United States. This is a nearly 10 point drop from Biden's approval rating on April 6 , when he maintained approximately 34% of the Hispanic population. "Biden's 35% job approval among registered voters ties the low that he received in a Quinnipiac University poll on Jan. 12, 2022, when his job approval rating was a negative 35-54%," Quinnipiaq wrote in their breakdown of the data.

A Russian general on Friday claimed that Russia’s ambitions in Ukraine extend outside the Donbas region and stretch across the country's southern districts. "Since the start of the second phase of the special operation...one of the tasks of the Russian army is to establish full control over the Donbas and southern Ukraine," Major General Rustam Minnekaev told Russian news agencies. The Pentagon continues to assess that Mariupol is still contested and has yet to fall to Russian forces. But the general’s Friday statements suggest that cities as far south as Odesa could be seeing a similar fight to the ongoing battle in Mariupol. "Control over the south of Ukraine is another way out to Transnistria, where there are cases of Russian-speaking people being oppressed," Minnekaev said, in an apparent threat to Moldova.

American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten warned that legislation similar to Florida's recent parental rights bill may have dire consequences. "This notion – we've been very lucky in America, and we in some ways live in a bubble for a long time," Weingarten said. The AFT is the nation's most prominent teachers' union and has been a consistent and vocal critic of Florida Gov. "We have a lot to do to help kids recover and thrive this year after two years of an unprecedented pandemic. So rather than help us help our kids socially, academically and emotionally, these vocal minorities want to marginalize LGBTQ kids, censor teachers and ban books."

If you have outstanding debt accumulated through BNPL services, a personal loan could help in paying it down while avoiding fees and penalties. "Marketing of buy now, pay later credit is enticing, with promises of instant approval and no impact on a consumer’s credit," the letter said. A review of the CFPB’s consumer complaints database by independent consumer group U.S. PIRG Education Fund revealed that BNPL services could have hidden costs. And those who have seen their bank account fall into overdraft were more than twice as likely to have used BNPL services, according to Morning Consult .

A Ukrainian official said Friday that Russia is refusing to allow evacuations from a Mariupol steel plant by "pretending" there is no difference between military surrender and civilian evacuations. "There is such thing as a corridor for the military to surrender. The Russians have provided one, but we don't need it, as our military don’t want to surrender," Vereschuk said. "There is also such thing as a humanitarian corridor to evacuate the civilians out of the combat zone. Vereschuk pleaded with the international community to step in and help facilitate safe evacuations for civilians stuck in the fight.

British counter-terrorism police are gathering evidence of potential war crimes after receiving over 50 reports following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The Metropolitan Police’s War Crimes Team, a unit within its counter-terrorism command, said Friday it already received dozens of referrals from people with a link to the UK. Metropolitan Police’s headquarters, Scotland Yard, announced last month it was supporting the International Criminal Court probe into alleged war crimes. The US and European countries have since accused Russia of war crimes. The latest UK sanctions target the Generals committing atrocities on the front-line in Ukraine, and individuals and businesses supporting Putin’s military.

It’s felt like this for so long it’s become hard to remember a time when Democrats weren’t fighting for their political lives. It stayed that way throughout the spring and into the summer until one event sunk his political fortunes and left Democrats scrambling to survive November. If you want to pinpoint the exact event where the 46th president’s slide began, this was it. It doesn’t take a genius to see how Biden’s numbers shifted after the disastrous Afghanistan exit. Democrats know it — at least the intellectually honest ones do — but they can’t admit it.

Each of the synoptic Gospels preserves the memory of an occasion when a rich young man (or "ruler") approaches Jesus for spiritual direction. In fact, the young man is first told that he should engage in commerce! The rich young man is not told to destroy his possessions nor to simply give away all he has. The rich young man (and through him, each of us) is being taught a critical lesson: wealth cannot be the goal of our life. The young man was called to employ his talents—that is, to engage in commerce—but with a higher goal than the bottom line.

Larry Elder reacted on Thursday's "Hannity" to President Biden confusing Title 42 and the mask mandate ruling for public transportation. LARRY ELDER: A growing number of Democrats, and you're right, these are people that are in very, very tough races. They're the ones who are now coming out and saying that we ought to retain the Title 42. And number two, to defeat Donald Trump. They think Donald Trump is worse, so they have zero interest in informing the public about the connection between all of these problems and Joe Biden's policies.

Fox News host Sean Hannity tore into President Obama's ‘misinformation and disinformation’ campaign' Thursday night on "Hannity." SEAN HANNITY: Obama is now on a mission to combat, he says, 'misinformation and disinformation,' and this network has the largest reach of any other outlet. And I'm sure they'd love to hear Barack's take on why the media mob breathlessly pushed Hillary Clinton's dirty misinformation dossier and the Russia collusion hoax for years. And while we're at it, President Obama, why don't you tell us how you really feel about our current president Joe Biden? That's because he's not really interested in battling disinformation, instead as you said today, he wants to reshape your perspective.

The ninth and tenth buses carrying migrants who entered the country through the southern border into Texas arrived in Washington, D.C., on Thursday night. "By busing migrants to Washington, D.C., the Biden Administration will be able to more immediately meet the needs of the people they are allowing to cross our border," Abbott said last week. "Texas should not have to bear the burden of the Biden Administration’s failure to secure our border." Abbott directed the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) last week to begin transporting migrants released from federal custody in Texas to Washington, D.C., and other locations outside the Lone Star State. Ordalis Heras, 26, an asylum seeker from Venezuela who took one of the earlier buses to Washington, D.C., told the Tribune she was grateful to Texas for the ride.

Laura Ingraham discussed on ‘The Ingraham Angle’ how Obama labeled those with dissenting views as spreading ‘dangerous disinformation' and how that tactic is common of dictators. So labeling the views of an effective opposition as dangerous disinformation, which is what he did today at Stanford. So this brings me to this question, why is the left -- why are Democrats so cowed by China and so condemnatory of their own country? Now we all know that the Left doesn't think twice about punishing perceived wrongdoers here at home. But where are the left social order enforcers when it comes to China?

Former President Donald Trump warned in a speech Thursday that President Biden had made America more vulnerable to its enemies, including by withdrawing U.S. troops from Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, which Trump said he would have kept in order to monitor China's nuclear program. Trump also claimed that he would have kept the U.S. presence in Bagram Air Base, formerly the largest U.S. military base in Afghanistan. "The reason we're keeping Bagram is because of China," the former president said. While Trump said he would have withdrawn U.S. troops, he had planned to leave with "great dignity and great strength." We were going to leave with dignity, great dignity and great strength," he said.

China continues to ignore the United States as it militarizes its geographic zone, while continuing to treat Biden personnel as subjects to be lectured, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Thursday. On "The Ingraham Angle," host Laura Ingraham pointed out how Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin appeared to get nothing out of his communication with Chinese defense officials Thursday. Reading between the lines, Ingraham said, it appeared Austin's call was the latest example of China hectoring the Biden administration and ignoring its interests. "I don't think they respect or fear the United States under the leadership of President Biden," Pompeo replied. "And it doesn't look like we actually defended the things that matter most to the United States of America [in Austin's call].

It would mark the first time since 2000 that the U.S. central bank raised the federal funds rate by 50 basis points. Powell said Thursday that the U.S. central bank is now focused on actual reductions in the inflation rate rather than mere forecasts. Asked whether March may turn out to be the peak of inflation, the Fed chairman demurred. The biggest question now is whether central bank officials can successfully tame inflation and stabilize prices without triggering an economic recession. "Our goal is to use our tools to get demand and supply back in sync, so inflation moves back into place, without a slowdown that amounts to a recession," Powell said.

But Democrats, who have supermajorities in the state Senate and Assembly, are planning to challenge the decision to the state’s highest court, the Court of Appeals. William Farrington“It’s not just a gerrymander, we’re calling it a Hochulmander,” state Republican Party Chairman Nick Langworthy has said, blaming the politically motivated redrawing on Gov.

A mid-level appeals court in New York State ruled late Thursday that Democrats illegally drew up new congressional maps to unfairly benefit their own party. Democrats' attorneys said the maps are more than fair to Republicans, who lost their decadeslong control of the state Senate in 2018 but have won some swing districts. Democrats say the new maps protect minority voting rights and reflect population loss in upstate communities once considered Republican strongholds. Attorneys for the state Senate, Assembly and Gov.

A Florida lawmaker tells Fox News Digital that she's "very concerned" after a state-funded engineering report on the Orlando FreeFall came to a conclusion that the teenager who fell off the ride was "not properly secured" in his seat due to modifications made to the seat. Tyre Sampson, 14, died after falling off of the Orlando FreeFall ride at ICON Park in Orlando, Florida, on March 24. An operating manual for the Orlando FreeFall states that the maximum passenger weight is just over 286 pounds.

Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany said former President Barack Obama's speech about misinformation shows that Democrats "want to control what is said and what is not said" Thursday on "Jesse Watters Primetime." Obama's speech Thursday at Stanford University sent the message that Democrats "want to control what is said and what is not said," McEnany told guest host Brian Kilmeade. Obama also mentioned congressional reform of Section 230, which provides legal immunity to social media companies in certain instances.

New York City will receive nearly $90 million worth of opioid overdose prevention and education efforts this year funded by settlements with large pharmaceutical companies, state Attorney General Letitia James announced Thursday. Mayor Eric Adams announced the retrieval of the overdose prevention funds with Attorney General Letitia James. NYC Mayor's Office“We’re here today to turn the tide on this crisis,” the attorney general said Thursday afternoon. “The investments that we can make as a result of the opioid settlements will save lives for now and for years to come as we work to end the opioid epidemic,” he said. In October, James launched her “HealNY” tour to deliver the up to $1.5 billion in settlements the Attorney General Office negotiated with drug companies to combat the opioid epidemic.

This headline:CNN claimed that Biden doesn’t have the power to solve his many problems. And even this CNN “analysis” admits economists (on the left and right) finger Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID relief package for driving up inflation. It also admits the president could shift course on some issues, though at a political cost. This comment:“The masks make a lot more sense [today] even than they did a year ago . If anything, the exact opposite is true: We now know that masks are unlikely to do much, if anything, to stop the spread of COVID.

Loathsome local Black Lives Matter leader Hawk Newsome just called Mayor Eric Adams a “c–n” live on national TV for pointing out BLM’s hypocrisy for staying silent on the black victims of crime. But the mayor has the facts fully on his side: Anti-police, soft-on-crime “reforms” have been literally murder on minority communities across America. Murder of black Americans rose more than 32% just from 2019 to 2020, 7,484 victims to 9,941. As the Manhattan Institute’s Heather Mac Donald puts it: “The Black Lives Matter narrative about racist, homicidal cops has produced virulent hostility in the streets,” poisoning police-community relations. Which makes Hank Newsome and his ilk the real bane on the black community — which, incidentally, voted overwhelmingly for Eric Adams last year in good measure because he vowed to end the carnage.

Troubles have come to the eurozone economy not as single spies but in battalions. Then it was a surge in eurozone inflation to record levels, which will soon force the European Central Bank to slam on the monetary-policy brakes and thereby heighten the risk of a European economic recession. Not simply because a slowdown in the eurozone economy could mean less favorable export markets for the rest of the world. AP/Martin MeissnerWith eurozone inflation having picked up to 7.5% — an all-time high — it must be only a matter of time before the ECB is forced to slam on the monetary-policy brakes. The end to ECB bond-buying would seem to be setting the stage for another round of eurozone debt crisis, especially should the eurozone succumb to another economic recession.

New York Attorney General Letitia James’ campaign has taken tens of thousands of dollars in donations from a real estate developer linked to indicted ex-Lt. Gov. State campaign finance records show James has received about $35,000 in past donations from Migdol and his family.

Fox News contributor Karl Rove revealed how inflation has skyrocketed under President Biden Thursday on "Your World." ROVE: Ordinary Americans go to the grocery store, maybe a couple of times a week. … There are things that they do virtually every day that bring them into contact … with a real awareness that prices are rising and prices are rising faster than most of them are seeing their paychecks increase. [These] were the numbers in the Politico Harris poll in January: 41% favored the big Build Back Better; 21% of them strongly. She thinks somehow or another being in favor of something that's got 41% support is going to somehow vault the Democrats into an historic victory in a midterm election?

I voted for President Biden because I firmly believe his assessment that the world has become a dangerous dichotomy of democracy and autocracy (“Ukraine’s Alamo,” Editorial, April 21). The alternative choice was former President Donald Trump, who recently proclaimed President Vladimir Putin a “genius” for his Ukrainian military strategy. Alan BrooksBrooklynThe war in Ukraine has been a major failure of United States and NATO intelligence, which assumed Russia’s invasion would be a cake walk. History will condemn the United States and the NATO European nations if this crime against humanity is allowed to continue. Now Biden is looking as weak (in fact, impotent) in addressing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as the Obama administration was with Crimea.

A Florida state senator who pushed for a mandatory “Victims of Communism Day” in public schools has been tapped as the Sunshine State’s next education chief.

Mayor Eric Adams refused Thursday to rule out supporting a controversial recommendation that the Big Apple’s rent regulator approve major hikes — as much as 9% over two years — for stabilized apartments. Mayor Adams speaks with New York Attorney General Letitia James on April 21, 2022. If the suggested increases are approved, it would be the biggest bump in rent for stabilized apartments since at least 2013. Rent stabilization typically applies to buildings with more than five units built before 1974, so many properties owned by small landlords are exempt from the regulations. All nine members of the rent board are appointed by the mayor.

"They need to listen to border communities," Cuellar said of the Biden administration.

The Austin City Council decided to postpone a vote on a $1.18 million guaranteed income plan after several members raised questions about the program and requested the delay. "This certainly gives me pause, and I'd like to better understand the program's anticipated outcomes before voting," Kelly, the lone Republican on the council, wrote on the board. Three other council members – Ann Kitchen, Leslie Pool, and José "Chito" Vela – also supported the postponement. Many of the questions that council members posed about the plan had to do with who would qualify and how the trial run would be evaluated once a year is up. Austin would join dozens of other cities around the United States that have rolled out guaranteed basic income programs in recent years, including New Orleans, Oakland, Gainesville, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

Texas high school students in a college-level English class were recently assigned a research paper in which they had to discuss one of three controversial issues facing American culture: gender, race, or ethnicity. The class, at Southwest High School in Forth Worth Independent School District (FWISD), offers both high school and college credit run by the University of Austin, Texas. For each controversial topic – gender, race, and ethnicity – students were provided with recommended reading lists for research. The materials would seem to go against the parameters of Texas Senate Bill 3, a law passed last year which banned the teaching of critical race theory in schools. But because the class offers both high school and college-level credit, it is able to bypass the state law.

With the failure of CNN+, Fox News contributor Joe Concha said its lifespan is comparable to the infamously-short White House career of former Trump adviser Anthony Scaramucci. CNN+ originally launched at the end of March, while incoming CNN CEO Christopher Licht announced it will just as quickly close up shop on April 30. Concha told Fox News the streaming service has been the "biggest failure any media company has ever experienced," pointing to its initial $300 million price tag and floundering subscriber base. Concha noted that the History Channel airs a lot of educational programming on World War II. Pointing to the war in Ukraine, Concha riffed that more people are watching coverage of a war "that happened 80 years ago" than they are of CNN's coverage of a war going on today.

The U.S. Army Recruiting Command said Thursday that it had obtained approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to perform a parachute jump at a Wednesday evening baseball game in Washington, D.C. that led to an alert and evacuation at the U.S. Capitol. "[W]e have confirmed that the parachute team filed all appropriate and required Federal Aviation Administration documentation and received FAA approval prior to operating within the National Capitol Region’s airspace," said Kelli LeGaspi, director of public affairs for U.S. Army Recruiting Command in a statement. Capitol Police’s alert about the plane, which was transporting members of the U.S. Army Golden Knights who later parachuted into Nationals Park for Military Appreciation Night on Wednesday evening, sent congressional staffers fleeing the Capitol.

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra on Thursday warned against using "the cover of health" to deal with the crisis at the southern border as he defended the Biden administration’s move to lift Title 42 in May. Becerra emphasized that the order is a public health order that was implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic, rather than a migration tool. WHITE HOUSE DEFENDS TITLE 42 TERMINATION AS ‘RETURN’ TO IMMIGRATION ‘STANDARD’ AS MORE DEMS BUCK BIDEN"That could be, but you don't use a health law to deal with a migration challenge, you use migration laws to deal with migration challenges," he said. "You can't use the cover of health to deal with migration challenges," he added. "It is important that we deal with migration challenges at the border with our laws that deal with migration rather than trying to bootstrap a health law to do migration work," he said.

The active severe weather season means an increase in storm reports that National Weather Service meteorologists are tasked with combing through to determine the severity of a storm, but sometimes the information in the reports are nothing more than fallacies. “It was an unbelievable lack of judgment because someone was just really curious to see tornado damage,” Ben Schott, meteorologist in charge of the NWS office in New Orleans, said. Fast-forward a couple of weeks later, and it is the NWS office in Little Rock that is looking at two cases where public information was wrong and possibly nefarious. John Wetter, president of the Spotter Network, a group devoted to getting storm chaser and spotter information to NWS offices, said after he learned the user-submitted information via his network, his non-profit immediately launched an investigation. It’s unknown whether any of the recent incidents are being looked into by law enforcement, but federal laws prohibit the publication of “false weather reports” and carry fines and possible prison sentences.

Elon Musk is in talks with private-equity firm Thoma Bravo about partnering on a possible takeover bid for Twitter, two sources close to the situation said.

The Post broke the news last week that Thoma Bravo, like Musk, was interested in buying Twitter. Now, Thoma Bravo would likely only move forward with Musk, or not at all, sources said. Nevertheless, Musk didn’t name any of his co-investors in the Thursday filing, and that has trained insiders’ focus on Thoma Bravo.

Former White House Press Secretary and Fox News contributor Ari Fleischer joins Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla to share his thoughts on the disconnect between the majority of journalists working today and the people consuming their content. “The problem with journalism, and this is why they have such a distorted view of the world, is they have a diversity problem. They are too overwhelmingly liberal, too overwhelmingly cosmopolitan, too overwhelmingly pro-choice. Journalism schools around America are graduating people who are just so identical and they go into newsrooms where everybody around them is so identical.

Texas Republican Congressman Kevin Brady joins Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla to explain why he believes the record-high inflation in the U.S. is only going to get worse due to the Biden administration’s economic policies. They’ve blamed everyone, I think, including the Easter Bunny, if I’m not mistaken. So we got the economic reports last week, so prices are growing three times faster than paychecks. Prices are growing three times faster than your own paycheck is, so your average family lost about $5,000 in real wages for most families, including mine, that’s a ton. That’s what the Biden administration just will not confess is it is getting worse.

FIRST ON FOX: Twenty-one Republican states suing the Biden administration to stop the Title 42 public health order are now seeking a temporary restraining order to prevent any lifting of the order ahead of the May 23 rollback date. REPUBLICAN STATES SUE TO STOP BIDEN ADMIN'S LIFTING OF TITLE 42 BORDER POLICYSoon after, more states signed onto the lawsuit, bringing the number to 21. Of the more than 221,000 migrants encountered at the border in March, 50% were expelled under Title 42. The additional request for a temporary restraining order filed Thursday is intended to stop any move by the Biden administration to implement the revocation of Title 42 ahead of that May 23 date -- and prove that it has been implementing Title 42. The sources said that the order is technically still in place for those migrants, but only as long as there is space on Title 42 expulsion flights.

There were more than 221,000 encounters in March, half of whom were expelled via Title 42. Now, in a letter to Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, the more than 70 sheriffs "call for the Congress to keep Title 42 and help save American lives." McConnell has opposed the ending of Title 42, calling it "outrageous" and warning that it will create a "gusher" of illegal migration at the border. It’s the latest warning by officials about the impact of Title 42 lifting. Schumer did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment and McConnell's office said it didn't have anything to add beyond his remarks already in opposition to lifting Title 42.

"Outnumbered" panelists on Thursday slammed the Washington Post for defending a reporter who doxxed the Libs of TikTok creator and claimed the person behind the Twitter account was "secretly fueling the right's outrage machine." "This Washington Post reporter created a TikTok video where she criticized another reporter for revealing the name of somebody, doxxing them, and without getting a quote.

A federal judge on Thursday issued a temporary order blocking a Kentucky abortion law that advocates had said made the service difficult to obtain in the state. The two Louisville clinics – the only two remaining in Kentucky – had gone to court immediately after the law took effect, asking that the measure be put on hold while the case is litigated. Thursday's decision was a victory for abortion rights advocates and a setback for the Republican-led legislature, which passed the law in March and then overrode Democratic Gov.

Kathy Hochul will not be asking indicted ex-Lt. Gov. Having Benjamin move out of state is one of just a handful of ways that state law would permit the governor to get a new potential running mate on the ballot. “I will not be asking him to do that,” Hochul said after touting environmental initiatives at an event at the Empire State Building.

President Trump, I’m confused! Like the 2020 election, my interview with Trump wasn’t rigged. But when I told you I don’t believe the 2020 election was either rigged or stolen from you, you got angry and called me a “fool” seven times. That doesn’t change my conviction that you lost the 2020 election fairly, and to date you’ve produced no hard evidence to suggest otherwise. Like the 2020 election, the promo wasn’t rigged.

Nikki Fried, Florida's commissioner of agriculture and a Democratic gubernatorial candidate, is suing the Biden administration in an effort to block a federal rule that prohibits medical marijuana users from buying firearms or obtaining a concealed weapons permit. Fried filed the lawsuit Wednesday against the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), arguing that the government’s "irrational, inconsistent, and incoherent federal marijuana policy undermines Florida’s medical marijuana and firearms laws." HOUSE VOTES TO DECRIMINALIZE MARIJUANA AT THE FEDERAL LEVELThe lawsuit argues that Floridians who legally participate in the state’s medical marijuana program are having their Second Amendment rights violated.

Los Angeles Sheriff Alex Villanueva has been scheduled to testify under oath on Friday regarding alleged gang-like groups of deputies accused of operating within the department for years. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Malcolm Mackey ruled weeks ago that Villanueva must testify under oath before the Office of the Inspector General on the topic of so-called deputy gangs within 21 days. LOS ANGELES COUNTY SUPERVISORS USURP SHERIFF'S AUTHORITY IN ENFORCING COVID-19 VACCINE MANDATEMax Huntsman, the inspector general appointed by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to oversee the sheriff’s department, issued a subpoena for Villanueva’s testimony under oath in February 2021, but the sheriff had consistently dismissed it as politically motivated in nature. The inspector general’s office detailed in a 2021 report that leadership at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department "vehemently objects" that certain drinking groups, intramural sports teams or social clubs qualify as criminal street gangs and instead "promote comradery, not criminal activities." Villanueva agreed to testify in September 2021 regarding the alleged deputy gangs, but Huntsman reportedly cut the interview short when the sheriff refused to answer under oath.

A Marxist professor who was recently fired from her university in Canada after "enraging the mob" explained to Fox News Digital why she believes identity politics have destroyed left-wing political thought by distracting from economic problems. TENURED CANADIAN PROFESSOR FIRED AFTER SAYING BLM ‘DESTROYED’ HER UNIVERSITYWiddowson described herself to Fox News as "a historical materialist, which comes out of the theoretical side of what would be called Marxism; so, a left-wing person."

She sees trans activism especially as a symptom of late-stage capitalism intended to divert enormous sums to the pharmaceutical companies. Following the debate, Widdowson said a lot of professors started to argue that trans people at MRU were saying their humanity was being denied.

Fox News contributor Karl Rove questioned President Biden's detailed breakdown of $800 million in additional U.S. military aid going to Ukraine, Thursday, arguing on "America's Newsroom" that revealing the information to Russia is not a useful strategy. So we had June, July, August, September, October and then beginning in mid-November, we began the resupply of their military needs again. But having said that, we do need to give them everything they need and in as fast as we possibly can.

President Biden confused his administration’s effort to restore a mass transit mask mandate with an expiring pandemic policy used to turn away most illegal immigrants at the US-Mexico border, when asked by a reporter about the Title 42 immigration measure. “I want to clarify that, in comments at the conclusion of my remarks this morning, I was referring to the CDC’s mask mandate and there is no Department of Justice action on Title 42,” read the statement, attributed to Biden. “Because as a matter of principle, we want to be able to be in a position where if, in fact, it is strongly concluded by the scientists that we need Title 42, that we’d be able to do that. At the same time Biden says that COVID it is not serious enough to maintain the title 42 expulsions of illegal immigrants crossing the border. “But he thinks there’s no emergency at the southern border, so he’s ready to lift the few remaining restrictions.

A group of 900 Gold Star family members and wounded veterans who have suffered as a result of terror attacks supported or committed by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) sent a letter to President Biden asking him not to remove the group from the State Department's list of foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs). The letter expressed "grave concerns" over reports that the administration was considering taking the IRGC off the list as part of their negotiations for a new Iran nuclear deal. That means, they said, that any company that conducts business with an FTO leaves themselves exposed to potential "legal, financial, and reputational" consequences. Fox News reached out to the White House for comment on the letter but they did not immediately respond. The letter follows concerns expressed by lawmakers from both parties who worry that the Biden administration could enter into a weak agreement with Iran.

Japan's Liberal Democratic Party – the country's right-wing, long-ruling party – is proposing a sharp spike in defense spending as international tensions continue to build. Japan has begun taking seriously calls for it to raise a traditional, standing military in the face of foreign threats. Currently, the Japanese Constitution explicitly forbids the nation from wielding a military, and allows only for the garrison of a small Self-Defense Force. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has heightened international tensions, making Japan more open to a military than ever before. The new proposal would allot approximately 2% of the national GDP to defense – a record high for the pacifist country.

MCCONNELL SLAMS PRESIDENT BEHIND ‘COURT-PACKING’ PANEL FOR COMPLETING JACKSON APPOINTMENT BEFORE BREYER LEAVES"The question presented is what choice-of-law rule the court should use to determine the applicable substantive law. The answer is: whatever choice-of-law rule the court would use if the defendant were not a foreign-state actor, but instead a private party," Justice Elena Kagan wrote in the court's opinion. "Here, that means applying the forum State’s choice-of-law rule, not a rule deriving from federal common law."

The real impact of decades-high inflation is even worse than US government data shows, according to Tesla CEO Elon Musk. “I think the official numbers actually understate the true magnitude of inflation,” Musk told analysts during Tesla’s first-quarter earnings call. He added that Tesla’s suppliers are under “severe cost pressure” — with some requesting 20% to 30% higher prices for key parts compared to one year earlier. Tesla has faced higher costs for key materials such as nickel and aluminum, especially since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine caused further disruption to commodity markets. Last summer, Musk told analysts that Tesla was reprogramming its car software to use computer chips that were more readily available due to a severe global semiconductor shortage.

An adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned Thursday that attempts to return those who have been forcibly deported to Russia will be another frontline battle. "After the war, there will be a war to take our people back." But the presidential adviser on Thursday suggested that figure could actually be much higher and claimed 100,000 Donetsk residents had been deported.

Podolyak said legally verified lists need to be drawn up to identify each individual who was deported to Russia.

Rep. Chip Roy torched Biden administration officials Thursday for sending the message to the American people that they "shouldn't care what is happening at the southern border. The Texas Republican joined "Fox & Friends" after CBP data showed 42 migrants were apprehended at the southern border under the Biden administration. The number does not count the number who got past overwhelmed Border Patrol agents at the southern border. Fox News reported earlier this month that over 62,000 illegal immigrants evaded Border Patrol agents in March alone, averaging about 2,000 a day. Roy said there are 500,000 or more "got-aways" and "some 2,000 who come across our border every day that the Border Patrol agents can't even get to."

BIDEN SAYS HE RELEASED HIS TAX RETURNS, ‘UNLIKE SOME OTHER PRESIDENTS’"After their massive tax giveaway to the super-wealthy and giant corporations in 2017, Congressional Republicans now want to raise taxes on middle class families," Biden tweeted Monday. "That’s the plan of congressional Republicans: tax hikes for the middle class; tax hikes for the wealthy and big corporations." The Post, in its Fact Checker column, points out that this is not a "congressional Republican" plan. "This is what Rick Scott believes in, it’s not the Republican plan," Scott said to The Hill. But his snippet of an idea, such as it is, cannot be labeled a ‘congressional Republican’ plan," the column says.

Fox News contributor Joey Jones slammed the Biden administration for its handling of the Russia-Ukraine war, Thursday, warning its "shortsighted" nature on the issue should prompt a pivot on the way the U.S. handles China moving forward. Jones argued on "America's Newsroom" the underestimation of President Vladimir Putin was "scary" as concerns surrounding China's aggression toward Taiwan continue. I'm not going to armchair quarterback this administration in every military tactic they do during this invasion. But I'm going to look back six months ago, nine months ago and say, what red flags? And expect either this president or the next to handle China much differently than we've handled this?

President Biden on Thursday announced another $800 million in military aid for Ukraine, including heavy artillery and ammunition, for Ukraine as the country continues to fight to defend itself against Russia’s multi-front war. The president last week had authorized $800 million in weapons, ammunition and other security assistance.

Moscow had given the Ukrainian forces several deadlines to surrender the plant and leave without their weapons. Since the onset of the war on Feb. 24, Russian forces have hit apartment buildings, children’s and maternity hospitals, breadlines and more.

The Biden administration will next week introduce a streamlined program for Ukrainian nationals who wish to seek humanitarian parole in the U.S. -- at the same time as it ends an exemption to Title 42 for Ukrainians arriving via the southern border. The number of Ukrainians arriving at the border has shot up in recent weeks, with 3,274 arriving in March, up from 272 in February. However, the administration says that following the introduction of the "Uniting for Ukraine" program, Ukrainians coming without authorization will be denied entry and instead be referred to apply through the program. The official also said there would be no preferential treatment under "Uniting for Ukraine" for Ukrainians who arrive at the southern border. However, that move has sparked considerable backlash from Republicans, as well as some moderate Democrats, amid fears of a broader surge of migrants at the southern border.

When a federal judge in Florida ruled against the federal mask mandate for public transportation, I assumed the decision would be stayed and immediately appealed. Biden simply punted, and the airlines stopped enforcing the mandate so abruptly that on some planes it happened mid-flight. Remember, the mask mandate for travelers is set to expire on May 3. But in a Politico/Morning Consult poll just before the ruling, 59 percent said they support extending the travel mask mandate and 32 percent were opposed. Yes, a Trump judge is likely to rule differently than a Biden judge.

The U.S. and its NATO allies have refused to send Ukraine warplanes over concerns it would escalate the conflict, but a senior U.S. defense official confirmed Wednesday that "spare parts" have been sent instead. Allies have been able to bolster Ukraine’s air capabilities by sending it supplies and parts needed to expand its operational fixed-wing aircraft fleet. Pentagon press secretary John Kirby echoed these claims and told reporters that "through U.S. coordination and provision" Ukrainians have been sent "enough spare parts and additional equipment such that they have been able to put in operation more fixed-wing aircraft in their fleet." It is unclear how many operational fixed-wing aircraft Ukraine has in total. Defense officials estimate that Russia has levied upwards of 1,670 missiles at Ukrainian targets since the invasion commenced nearly eight weeks ago.

Sanders was runner-up four years later to Biden, during a much less fractious nomination race. In May 2020, soon after he ended his second White House campaign, Sanders told the Washington Post that the "likelihood is very very slim" he would ever run for president again. And he said in an interview with ABC News in December that "If I'm in the health I'm in now, if I'm in good health, then in fact, I would run again."

Kirsten Gillibrand and now-Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer – recently moved to New Hampshire and is seriously considering entering the race, as well.

Dismissed as a "MAGA judge" or a "Trump judge" who was a tool of the conservative Federalist Society, U.S. District Court Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle came under heavy fire from the liberal network after her ruling that led to many airplane travelers enthusiastically stripping off their masks. Yet during the Trump presidency, MSNBC hosts often praised or gushed over judges who issued legal setbacks to the president they vehemently opposed. "That appears to be false," MSNBC host Ari Melber said of the notion that Tigar ruled against Trump for partisan reasons. "Another day, another federal judge telling the Trump administration they are completely out of line," Chris Hayes said at the time. "This was an Obama judge," Trump shouted at reporters outside the White House on Nov. 20, 2018, saying the Ninth Circuit was essentially corrupt.

After all, New York proved decades ago that reducing crime disproportionally benefited blacks and Latinos because they comprise most of crime’s victims. More crimes mean more black and Latino victims. Previously, between 2010 and 2019, there was an average of 6,927 black murder victims each year, meaning the 2020 carnage involved 3,014 murders above the 10-year average. Although blacks make up only 13% of the US population, they often are a majority of murder victims and perpetrators. The blood of all those additional murder victims is on their hands.

BLM’s support has collapsed from its 52% peak after George Floyd’s murder. Many question its multimillion-dollar real-estate purchases and other financial practices, and its response to critics is more the behavior of “hustlers on the make” than that of a respectable organization. House losses could reach 40 seats, while four Senate seats may go. Much like the Dossier.” The CIA didn’t fall for it, and neither did the reporters who peddled the info — but the FBI did. Was the agency “technically unschooled” or “in on the greater conspiracy”?

Las Vegas authorities have arrested a murder suspect after an In-N-Out security guard successfully detained the man last week, according to police and local reports. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department patrol officers responded to reports of a stabbing at the In-N-Out location on South Maryland Parkway and discovered a male victim suffering from multiple stab wounds upon arrival, a press release states. A security guard at the fast-food location reportedly detained the suspect, identified as Emanuel Beccles, until police arrived. Security footage of the incident obtained by the 8 News Now I-Team in Las Vegas shows the security guard order the suspect to the ground. Officers responded to reports of a stabbing at the In-N-Out location on South Maryland Parkway, discovering a male victim suffering from multiple stab wounds.

The lagging subscriber growth prompted Netflix for the first time to say it might offer lower-priced version of the service with advertising. The company said it lost 200,000 subscribers in its first quarter, falling well short of its forecast of adding 2.5 million subscribers. Netflix, which currently has 221.6 million subscribers, last reported losing customers in October 2011. Despite hit shows like “Stranger Things,” the world’s dominant streaming service was expected to report slowing growth. Streaming services are not the only form of entertainment vying for consumers’ time.

East Midtown, a favored location for hedge funds and small financial firms, will soon have a prestigious new location for them. The 45 E. 53d St. purchase is the first New York City acquisition for Rialto, which is run by Jay Mantz and Jeff Krasnoff. Park Tower Group, owner of 535 Madison Ave., is proud that several lease extensions totaling 39,315 square feet have brought the 37-story tower to full occupancy. Queens-based Finback Brewery just signed a lease for 3,800 square feet, to open late this year — its third city location. The project incorporates a landmarked, 1927 clock tower structure which Durst is restoring and converting for modern retail use.

A major pension fund is backing an effort to oust the “Oracle of Omaha” Warren Buffett as executive chairman of Berkshire Hathaway – the lucrative conglomerate he has helmed for the last several decades. The shareholder proposal is set to be considered at the company’s annual meeting on April 30. CalPERS is a major Berkshire Hathaway shareholder. “However, as has been stated on numerous occasions by Mr. Buffett in the past, once Mr. Buffett is no longer Berkshire’s CEO, a non-management director should be named Board Chair. The Board agrees with Mr. Buffett and accordingly recommends that the shareholders vote against this proposal,” the filing added.

The seller is a trust benefitting Dina Wein Reis, a society scammer known as the “$100 million woman” who moved from the mansion to the slammer after some convoluted “Inventing Anna”-style shenanigans. (He was born David Ruiz, but changed his name to Reis — while Wein Reis had a dozen aliases, The Post reported more than a decade ago.) Wein Reis was accused of wining and dining Fortune 500 company CEOs at the fancy brownstone under the guise of looking for a new top exec. In 2011, Wein Reis pled guilty to a federal charge of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Wein Reis was released from jail in 2014 and ordered to pay $7 million in restitution plus $1 million in fines.

A $100 million redevelopment is bringing new life — and post-pandemic attention to employees’ needs and concerns — to the iconic 1950s landmark Lever House on Park Avenue between East 53rd and East 54th streets. Lever House joint-venture leaseholders WatermanClark and Brookfield Properties will launch Lever Club, an ambitious, tenants-only lounge and hospitality venue, inside the green-glass tower as part of the redevelopment when the building reopens early next year. Outdoor space at the revamped Lever House building will be for tenants to use during nice days. Lever House brought the International Style, glass curtain-wall style to Park Avenue two years before the larger Seagram Building did. “The East Midtown rezoning “totally changed the complexion of Park Avenue,” Clark said.

It is always interesting to note what the shoplifting class in New York do and do not covet. That is the boom in the often flimsy plastic guards and shelf locks that now cover row after row in our local convenience and drug stores. I can confirm Al Sharpton’s observation that almost all toothpaste in this city is now locked behind plastic guards. At my local drugstore, a packet of 12 ribbed latex condoms sits on an open shelf with a price tag of $18.99. In my local store, cheapo anti-dandruff shampoo sits behind a lock while vast bottles of Listerine do not.

Adams asked for the extra time “days ago, probably, I think, Friday,” he told reporters at an unrelated press conference in Brooklyn. Adams’ press secretary, Fabien Leavy, clarified that Adams’ accountant filed the extension request but could not confirm the mayor’s timeline. Mayor Eric Adams said that he requested an extension to file his taxes at an event in Red Hook, Brooklyn on April 20, 2022. “I spent two days talking about my taxes, this is day three,” an audibly frustrated Adams said. “I am not going to spend talking days talking about the same things when I’m watching babies being shot in the city, I’m watching people fighting for housing, I’m watching all of these crises,” he added.

Former President Donald Trump blasted Piers Morgan as “very dishonest” while walking out of an interview with the TV presenter and Post columnist after being pressed on his claims that he lost the 2020 presidential election due to voter fraud.

US home sales fell more than expected in March as house prices hit a record high despite some improvement in supply, and could decline further amid surging mortgage rates. Existing home sales dropped 2.7% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.77 million units last month, the National Association of Realtors said on Wednesday. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast sales would decrease to a rate of 5.80 million units. At March’s sales pace, it would take 2.0 months to exhaust the current inventory, down from 2.1 months a year ago. First-time buyers accounted for 30% of sales last month, up from 29% in February and down from 32% a year ago.

And in the 1990s, there was no hotter mall retailer than Abercrombie & Fitch — a store that sold a side of sex with its preppy staples. If you weren’t wearing Abercrombie, you weren’t cool,” says former brand model Ryan Daharsh in the new Netflix documentary “White Hot: The Rise and Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch,” out April 19.

Rite Aid earlier this month quietly rejected a takeover bid that valued the drugstore chain at more than $800 million — despite it being nearly twice the drugstore chain’s current stock price, The Post has learned. Shares of Rite Aid, the nation’s fourth-largest pharmacy chain, on Wednesday jumped 11% to $8.20. Rite Aid General Counsel Paul Gilbert engaged in talks with Spear Point and rejected the offer, which was conditioned on due diligence of Rite Aid’s financials. Rite Aid, meanwhile, has been in steady decline for several years. In 2018, Walgreen’s bought 1,932 Rite Aid stores for $4.37 billion, cutting Rite Aid’s footprint by almost half.

It looks like disgraced ex-Lt. Gov Brian Benjamin’s defense will resort to the “get out of jail free” card that worked for then-Mayor Bill de Blasio: a claim that it’s not bribery if the pol doesn’t personally profit. But de Blasio was actually careful not to have his own campaign funds reap the benefit, and the donations themselves met the letter of the law. Former Mayor Bill de Blasio used a similar defense to avoid indictment in 2017. That Benjamin’s defense is still trying the “no personal benefit” dodge suggests it doesn’t have anything better — and that Gov. Oh, and the fact that Benjamin apparently thought he was in the clear right up until his arrest is a prime sign that schemes like his are rampant in New York state politics.

First, everyone knows these are still overwhelmingly just jobs recovered post-pandemic (with the recovery slowest in Democratic-controlled, heavy-lockdown states). Second, and more important: Working Americans are all too aware how rampant inflation is setting them back. That’s because working-class Americans spend more of their incomes on food and gas, which have seen by far the stiffest increases in prices. Bottom line: Real working-class wages have been sinking for almost Joe Biden’s entire presidency, as inflation ate up nominal pay hikes. And voters see the truth every time they hit the grocery store or the gas pump.

Earlier this month, James asked a judge to hold the ex-president in contempt for allegedly refusing to comply with a court order to turn over documents in her investigation of the Trump Organization. The attorney said that James’ subpoena specifically instructed that Trump didn’t need to hand over documents that his company had already submitted to the AG’s office. New York State Attorney General Letitia James launched her probe into the Trump Organization in 2019. Then in 2020, the AG filed suit against the company and Eric Trump alleging they were stonewalling the probe. James then recently added Trump and kids Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr. to the suit and is seeking testimony from them.

A corrupt former Brooklyn judge was sentenced to 15 months in prison Wednesday after being convicted of obstruction of justice charges – a case that “struck at the heart of the criminal justice system,” a federal jurist said. Steven HirschHer downfall was a “just consequence of your own dishonest, corrupt and frankly outrageous conduct,” the judge said. Assistant US Attorney Eli Mark said Ash used her position as a judge in an attempt to get away with her crimes. Former Judge Sylvia Ash was convicted after aiding former Municipal Credit Union CEO Kam Wong with embezzling millions from the company. Kam WongIn brief remarks, Ash acknowledged that she had lived the American dream – but threw it all away by committing her crimes.

A newly hired Baltimore police administrator was canned Tuesday after he was deemed a “person of interest” in an active homicide investigation. It wasn’t immediately clear what homicide Hayes may be connected to, but Police Commissioner Michael Harrison emphasized Wednesday that the man was not a suspect in the case and there was no warrant for his arrest, the station said. Hayes was arrested on multiple gun violations in 2018 and added to the city’s gun offender registry a year later, according to the article. “The HR department did a background investigation,” Harrison reportedly said. “It was missed.”Mayor Brandon Scott issued a statement addressing the snafu Wednesday.

President Vladimir Putin on Thursday ordered the Russian military to cancel plans to storm the Azovstal plant in the Ukrainian port city of Mariupol and said he wanted it to continue to be hermetically blockaded instead. Putin gave the order to Sergei Shoigu, his defense minister, who had previously told Putin that more than 2,000 Ukrainian fighters were still holed up in the vast plant, which has a large underground component to it. “I consider the proposed storming of the industrial zone unnecessary,” Putin told Shoigu in a televised meeting at the Kremlin. “I order you to cancel it.”Putin said his decision not to storm the Azovstal plant was motivated by the desire to safeguard the lives of Russian soldiers. via REUTERS“I consider the proposed storming of the industrial zone unnecessary,” Putin said.

The estimated jackpot for the Powerball lottery drawing reached the $400 million mark — after no one picked the lucky numbers in the latest drawing. The jackpot was an estimated $370 million with a cash option of $222.8 million, according to the Powerball website. Lottery hopefuls have come up empty since two California and Wisconsin residents claimed the $632.6 million jackpot in January. January’s drawing marked the first time someone hit the Powerball jackpot since Oct. 4. The next Powerball drawing — with a cash option to win $240.8 million — will be held on April 23 at 10:59 p.m (EST).

First, the science: A staggering 99%-plus of the population does not have the physical traits that cause someone to become transgender. People with gender dysphoria — a condition that causes extreme distress — deserve empathy and respect. The Human Rights Campaign and other LGBTQ+ advocacy groups ignore this science and insist that someone with “boy parts” can become a girl and vice versa. When the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual used by American psychiatrists was updated in 2013, it changed Gender Identity Disorder to Gender Dysphoria. But instructing young kids that it’s normal for boys to become girls and vice versa is going too far.

President Joe Biden has reportedly told former President Barack Obama that he intends to run for re-election in 2024. But the case for a second term is quite weak — and voters know it even if Democrats in dreamland don’t. An Economist/YouGov survey taken around the same time showed a similar split: 60% wrong track, 28% right direction. So why would anyone think Biden deserves another term? To many Democrats, Biden is an innocent bystander, a Forrest Gump-like witness to history with much worse luck.

America’s supposed racial divide has a class element that we are all supposed to ignore. Men and women who have made their entire careers hypothesizing about the makeup of America never actually listen to Americans. It’s because “race” for them is a mechanism for power over guilt-riddled white Americans, control over the narrative and political leverage. If everything negative in our society is rooted in white supremacy, then class warfare will remain invisible and void of discussion.

Hillary Clinton asked a federal court Wednesday to throw out a lawsuit from former President Donald Trump that accuses her and the Democratic National Committee of conspiring against him to smear his 2016 campaign. In a 108-page complaint filed last month, Trump claimed Clinton and others orchestrated a plan to manufacture the Russia scandal to ruin his candidacy in 2016, when he was running as a Republican candidate against Clinton. Clinton’s lawyers claim Trump did not provide enough information to prove his theory. Trump believes Clinton along with others tried to plot against his 2016 Presidential campaign.

These projections come after hotels lost an estimated $108 billion in business travel revenue during 2020 and 2021 combined. But the New York hotel business travel industry is suffering the most of any market in the country — with the exception of San Francisco, where hotel business travel is expected to be 68% lower than in 2019, the report said. Only San Francisco, where hotel business travel is expected to be 68% lower than in 2019, is projected to suffer more than New York City. Dandapani of the New York City Hotel Association confirmed that both occupancy and rates per room are still way down from pre-pandemic levels. “Even after two years, we still have thousands of hotel workers on layoff because of the slow return of business travel.

You have to admire the courage, the sheer defiance of the soldiers hanging on in decimated Mariupol, refusing to capitulate to Russia’s surrender-or-die demand, staring down an almost certain death. What bravery it must take to court such a fate, to say, Bring it on, come what may. And so, with the Russians closing in, the Ukrainian soldiers holed up under constant fire are doing all they can: never giving in, never, never, never. Ready, in the words of the Mariupol police chief, “for fierce resistance.”That — and hoping for a miracle. The Ukraine city of Mariupol continues its battle against Russia despite overwhelming forces.

“I want to applaud the exceptional work you’re doing to arm and equip brave Ukrainians to defend their nation,” Biden said in the White House Cabinet Room. “But I tell you what, they’re tougher and more proud than I thought.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he believes the war against Russia would have already been won if Western allies including the US and NATO had sent more weapons to arm Ukraine. “If we had access to all the weapons we need, which our partners have and which are comparable to the weapons used by the Russian Federation, we would have already ended this war,” Zelensky said in a video address Tuesday evening, the Times of London reported.

Former Attorney General Bill Barr joins Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla to share his thoughts on how Democrats and members of the political establishment in Washington DC attempted to take down former President Trump before he was even in the Oval Office. “Fraud is one thing, but there are other things that can happen that skew the election unfairly. But then you have people not following the rules, skirting the anti harvesting rules and things like collecting ballots and stuff. But those things, you don’t get to throw out the vote just because they’re violations of those rules. I was upset because fraud means the votes were invalid and there simply was not sufficient evidence of that.

Josh Rogin joined Brian Kilmeade to discuss the latest on Ukraine. Rogin said because the Russians don’t play by any rules and the longer the war goes on, the more innocent people will be tortured and kills. Rogin believes we need to shorten the war by giving the Ukrainians the weapons that they need to push the Russians out and win the war and not just weapons that are helping them just survive. If people are really worried about World War III, Rogin says the best thing to do is defeat Putin now in Ukraine because that is what will stop this from spilling over into NATO. Rogin’s contention is that President Biden has been dragging his feet on Ukraine out of a fear of escalation that exists only in his mind because Putin was always going to escalate.

“A year ago when I took the Republicans on the House Oversight Committee to the border, Biden had just been president a few months, and we were demanding to know what is his border policy? We go back a year later, now we know his border policy, what it is. It’s an open border policy. Anyone that wants to come to the United States across the Southern border illegally is more than welcome in Joe Biden’s America. And Title 42 was the only tool in the toolbox this administration had to expel people back to the country where they came from.

Will Hurd former Texas congressman, officer in the CIA and author of book “American Reboot: An Idealist’s Guide to Getting Big Things Done“, tells Brian Kilmeade that the DHS predicts an additional 100,000 plus more people added to these crazy numbers of people crossing the border we are seeing every month once Title 42 ends. Hurd says the Biden administration has to stop treating everyone crossing the border as an asylum seeker and explained that there are not too many places in Latin and South America that meet asylum standards. On Ukraine, Hurd believes the West should be giving as many weapons to the Ukrainians as they can possibly handle, because the longer this goes on, the worse it is for the West. Hurd says the more weapons we get to the Ukrainians to lay the hammer to the Russians, the better off everyone’s going to be.

Anticipating a red wave in the 2022 midterms, GOP house lawmakers are reportedly weighing the possibility of capping committee leadership at three terms.

The rancher told investigative reporter Sara Carter in a "Hannity" exclusive that Homeland Security officials seem disconnected from the situation at hand. If Biden goes forward with repealing the Title 42 health-related deportation policy, "it's going to get real bad," he predicted.

Cardona, a career administrator in a small school district, had no paper trail and was best-known for a year spent running Connecticut’s state education bureaucracy. Biden’s education agenda has proven to be an unrelenting experiment in big government, big spending, and culture war. In mid-March, the administration issued new rules intended to gut the $440 million federal charter school program, calling for massive new paperwork burdens on public charter schools. Biden did this, of course, just as families exit a pandemic in which public charter schools again proved their exceptional agility and value.

When a federal judge in Florida ruled against the federal mask mandate for public transportation, I assumed the decision would be stayed and immediately appealed.

Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to talk to his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping about tensions with the U.S. and NATO over Ukraine during a virtual summit on Wednesday that is expected to further cement their relationship. The Kremlin said the "aggressive" rhetoric from the U.S. and NATO will be one of the key topics discussed, Reuters reported. Both Russia and China have expressed frustration over what they see as Washington’s unwanted reach into their own regional issues. President Biden warned Putin during a call last week that Russia would face painful sanctions that will do resounding economic harm if it again invaded Ukraine. Last month, Biden Biden and Xi spoke of clear communication as the key to long-term diplomatic relations.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis appeared on "The Ingraham Angle" on Monday to discuss his office's report that more than 70 night-time flights moving migrants from the border landed in Jacksonville since the summer.

It’s unclear if the provision will be included in the Senate’s version of the Build Back Better Act. Biden and other proponents of health care provisions included in the Build Back Better Act argue it will expand medical coverage for the uninsured. The White House touts its plan as "the biggest expansion of affordable health care in a decade." The Senate version of the Build Back Better Act is expected to include notable changes from the House’s version. The White House said the president will travel to Ft. Campbell, Ky. for a storm briefing Wednesday, and to Mayfield and Dawson Springs, Ky. to survey storm damage.

An appeals court on Monday night rejected another attempt by the Biden administration to end the Trump-era policy that requires migrants seeking asylum in the US to await their cases in Mexico. The 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals made the ruling on the so-called “Remain in Mexico” policy that President Biden decried on the campaign trail and suspended just hours after taking office in January. Texas and Missouri sued over the revocation and a federal judge later ruled the policy, formally known as the Migrant Protection Protocols, had to be reinstated. Migrants under the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) program walk to Mexico across the Lerdo-Stanton International Bridge after being returned from the U.S. to Mexico to continue their asylum application. Last week, in compliance with the federal judge’s ruling to restore the policy, the Biden administration began sending the first asylum seekers back to Mexico.

Jared Polis, who liberated himself from the “forever COVID” mentality that has gripped far too many lawmakers. Jared Polis declared that “public health [authorities] don’t get to tell people what to wear” in response to mask mandates. Hochul ordered a new indoor mask mandate in New York this week amid rising COVID-19 cases. More counties should take their lead, and more state officials and reporters should ask Hochul: What exactly do we stand to gain through this mandate? Polis, unlike Hochul, understands that the state cannot play the role of your parent, telling you where to go or what to wear.

Hochul’s sudden mask-at-your-desk mandate sparked outrage in New York City as it went into effect Monday despite the Big Apple having some of the lowest rates of COVID-19 and highest rates of vaccination in the nation. New York City’s COVID-19 positivity rate has remained at less than 3 percent since November. “It just doesn’t make sense to get the vaccine if I still have to wear a mask.

Sean Hannity slammed Vice President Kamala Harris for failing to live up to her responsibilities in the White House on "Hannity" Monday. "In fact, no vice president in U.S. history has a lower approval rating than Kamala Harris," Hannity said. "Maybe that's because the vice president is terrible at her job … Ever since she was appointed border czar nine months ago, Harris has done nothing to resolve the crisis." Allegedly, Kamala Harris is such a menace that some are openly referring to her as a soul-destroying bully. The relationships between the Biden-Harris offices are reportedly strained, despite the cordial relationship between the vice president and President Biden .

Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows responded late Monday to the House Select Committee's vote to recommend prosecution for criminal contempt of Congress after he refused to testify before the panel.

Marine Gen. Frank McKenzie, head of U.S. Central Command, said in an interview with The Associated Press that the departure of U.S. military and intelligence assets from Afghanistan has made it much harder to track al-Qaeda and other extremist groups inside Afghanistan. Speaking at the Pentagon, McKenzie said it's clear that al-Qaeda is attempting to rebuild its presence inside Afghanistan, which was the base from which it planned the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks against the United States. McKenzie said no such strikes have been conducted since the U.S. completed its withdrawal from Afghanistan on Aug. 30. Al-Qaeda is among numerous extremist groups inside Afghanistan. McKenzie declined to provide an estimate of the number of al-Qaeda operatives inside Afghanistan.

President Biden's senior adviser for migration Tyler Moran is leaving the White House at the end of January, despite having only taken over the role in July. The White House said that Moran never intended to stay on for more than the first year, noting that she had been commuting by plane since taking up her post. But the White House made similar statements about the previous person to serve in the role, Amy Pope, after Moran replaced Pope in July. "Amy had always intended to join the Biden Administration for a short time with an expected departure in the mid-summer," the White House said at the time. The White House has yet to name a replacement for Moran, though it expressed confidence six weeks would be sufficient time to find someone to fill the role.

Tedros succeeded China’s Margaret Chan, who as director-general spent considerable time placing Chinese and China-sympathetic personnel into key positions. World Health Organization Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus won his seat in 2017 as Beijing backed him. Chinese President Xi Jinping is using the United Nations to stomp on nearby adversaries such as Hong Kong and Taiwan. This was anathema to China, which was determined to snuff out any Taiwanese efforts at their first appearance.

The majority of US voters feel the country is headed “off on the wrong track” — citing economic conditions, the COVID-19 pandemic and the increase in crime, according to a new poll. Some 56 percent of respondents in a poll commissioned by NewsNation said the country is headed “off on the wrong track” compared to 34 percent who feel the US is going in the “right direction.”The new poll largely gauged Americans’ thoughts on crime amid the holiday season. Current laws and sentencing guidelines in America are too soft, according to 63 percent of voters, and 86 percent of respondents believe crime is a problem nationally, the poll says. The COVID-19 pandemic was also cited as a reason many participants believe the country is on the wrong track. Younger respondents, those aged 18 to 35, were more approving of their lawmakers than their older counterparts, according to the poll.

And like a reckless shopaholic locked in toxic credit-card payments, US taxpayers are mired in astronomical interest payments. The federal government spends more on interest payments than on science, space, technology, transportation and education combined. Congress created the debt ceiling for a reason — to stop Treasury from going outside its executive-branch limits and borrowing too much money. Removing the debt ceiling would give more power to the executive branch — which might be what King Biden wants. They’re calling for America to stop its long-term debt addiction — instead of just giving another immediate payment to our debt pushers.

Nearly four months after the Taliban reconquered Afghanistan from the Western-backed government, the State Department said Monday that it knows of fewer than a dozen US citizens who wish to leave the war-torn country. The State Department statement did not say how many Afghan allies who wish to leave remain in the country. The State Department said it has funding to support resettlement of up to 95,000 people through the end of September 2022. The State Department insists Afghan refugees go through “a rigorous and multilayered screening” before resettling in the US. While some new arrivals had their applications in the pipeline, others never bothered to fill out the required paperwork, according to the State Department.

WASHINGTON — The Air Force has discharged 27 people for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine, making them what officials believe are the first service members to be removed for disobeying the mandate to get the shots. The Air Force gave its forces until Nov. 2 to get the vaccine, and thousands have either refused or sought an exemption. Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek said Monday that these are the first airmen to be administratively discharged for reasons involving the vaccine. Several officials from the other services said they believe that so far only the Air Force has gotten this far along in the process and discharged people over the vaccine refusal. According to the latest Air Force data, more than 1,000 airmen have refused the shot and more than 4,700 are seeking a religious exemption.

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., and a handful of other House Democrats have expressed their support for a federal COVID-19 vaccine requirement to be allowed to board airplanes. Swalwell pushed the idea of an air travel vaccine requirement on Twitter Sunday, writing a "prediction" that the country "can go from 60% Americans vaxxed to 80% if we require vaccines to fly." Talks on whether the Biden administration will implement a vaccine requirement for air travel have swirled amid the president’s ban on international travel from several African countries.

After the hearing, Swearer took to social media to vent her frustrations with the Illinois senator.

"And this war won’t be only about the subjugation of Black people but also about the subjugation of all who challenge the white racist patriarchy," Blow wrote.

The Supreme Court on Monday refused to block a New York regulation that requires health care workers to get the COVID-19 vaccine without any religious exemptions. The vaccine mandate for health care workers, which went into effect in August, allows only for medical exemptions but not religious ones.

BIDEN'S APPROVAL RATING ON CRIME TANKS AMID RISE IN SMASH-AND-GRAB ROBBERIESKELLYANNE CONWAY: [Democrats] don’t seem to understand the error of their ways.

Murdaugh described to the judge his frame of mind leading up to the events of that day. The Murdaugh family also faces lawsuits surrounding a 2019 boat crash in which Paul Murdaugh was charged with boating under the influence causing death. The lawyers for both Murdaugh and Satterfield’s family said Murdaugh had agreed to a $4.3 million judgment in the case, subject to the approval of court-appointed receivers who now control his assets. Lee’s bond order surpassed amounts recommended by prosecutors, who had recommended the judge either set bond at the $6.2 million Murdaugh was accused of stealing or a lesser figure of $4.7 million – about $100,000 for each count. Defense attorneys had asked the judge to set bond at a maximum of $200,000 and indicated they would ask Lee to reconsider her Monday decision.

President Biden will travel to Kentucky on Wednesday to survey the damage following tornadoes and unseasonal extreme weather across the Midwest that left dozens dead. The White House said the president will travel to Ft. Campbell, Ky. for a storm briefing Wednesday, and to Mayfield and Dawson Springs, Ky. to survey storm damage. Over the weekend, Biden approved an emergency declaration providing federal funds to Kentucky, and said he would deploy federal resources to the storm ravaged areas. Approximately 300 National Guard members went house to house, checking on residents and helping to remove debris.

The FBI recently issued a press release detailing ways that consumers can stay safe from seasonal shopping scams. Two of the most common scams are non-delivery scams and non-payment scams. In the second situation, the seller ships out the item, but the buyer never sends the payment (or provides a fraudulent payment). Those options allow scammers to quickly receive their funds, and usually in a way that’s impossible to refund the victim. As is the case with previous payment options, it’s very difficult (or impossible) to return funds to a victim through a gift card.

Former White House economic adviser Peter Navarro is refusing to comply with a subpoena issued by a House select subcommittee investigating the Trump administration’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, citing former President Donald Trump’s claim of executive privilege. “Your blanket refusal to comply with the subpoena in its entirety is improper.

Hedge-fund billionaire Bill Ackman slammed the US government for lowballing inflation, noting that its estimates have drastically understated the surging costs of housing nationwide. “Housing inflation is unlikely to abate based on supply and demand trends,” Ackman posted in a Friday evening tweetstorm. Ackman suggests the OER estimate — which estimates the cost of housing is up roughly 3.5 percent year over year — is woefully understated. Ackman said this group estimates housing is up 17 percent year-over-year. With this more accurate measure of prices and inflation, Ackman said the core CPI (CPI minus food and energy costs) would have increased 9 percent in November rather than 4.9 percent.

The attorney for former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows in a Monday letter asked the House Jan. 6 Committee not to refer the former Trump adviser to the Department of Justice for contempt of Congress, arguing doing so "would be contrary to law, manifestly unjust, unwise, and unfair." Meadows was previously cooperating with the committee's investigation into the events surrounding the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters. The committee is expected recommend this week that the House refer him to the Department of Justice for contempt of Congress. The Jan. 6 Committee, however, is aggressively asserting what it says are its constitutional powers of oversight and investigation. The committee already referred former Trump DOJ official Jeffrey Clark to the Justice Department for contempt of Congress.

The Succession Season 3 finale had been hyped for a while as being “upsetting” and “shocking” (by none other than Gerri herself, J. Smith-Cameron).

“After the first period local teachers will participate in the first-ever Dash For Cash. $5,000 is up for grabs for teachers to use in their classrooms,” Todd tweeted on Friday. The teacher pay gap is widening, says the National Education Association, the largest teacher’s unions in the country. In 2020, the Economic Policy Institute found in 2020 that the average classroom teacher’s salary is between 2% and 33% less than other comparably college-educated professionals. On Sunday, Illinois-based activist Anthony V. Clark echoed this disparity to his 55 million followers in response to Todd’s video.

"Low-income homes spend cash quicker and have less cash to burn through, while higher-income households spend but still have room to save. American war veteran and talk-show radio host Bryan Suits also mocked Krugman, knocking him by writing a headline over his remarks. Low income households CONSUME a far greater proportion of their income than high income households," Vembu wrote on Twitter. Just last week, the Labor Department released data indicating consumer prices spiked 6.8% in November, reach a 39-year-high. This has many Republicans and other critics concerned over the price tag's potential impact on already sky-high consumer prices across the board.

Twelve major cities across the nation broke annual homicide records this year, following 2020’s already historically bloody year. Rochester broke its 30-year-old homicide record on Nov. 11 with 71 homicides. New York City has recorded 443 as of Dec. 5 and Los Angeles 352 as of Nov. 27. The City of Brotherly Love previously had a homicide record of 500, which was set in 1990. "America’s most beautiful cities are indeed being ruined by liberal policies," Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw said on "Fox & Friends" last week of cities experiencing crime surges.

Critics flamed the Los Angeles Times editorial board over the weekend for arguing that California's last remaining nuclear power plant needed to be closed in the name of doing even more to fight climate change. "It’s our planet at stake, and California’s leaders must ensure the sunset of nuclear power is not followed by a damaging rise in greenhouse gases," it added. Critics took to social media to blast the board, with some arguing that being against nuclear power meant they weren't serious about fighting climate change, and others suggesting that it was denying science to argue against the use of nuclear power to fight climate change. Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, R-Iowa, argued that there wasn't actually a better way to fight climate change as the board suggested.

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich reacted Monday to the Democrats' scramble to pass Build Back Better amid rising inflation. CONGRESSIONAL DEMS ROILED BY DIVISION ON ISSUES FROM MASSIVE SPENDING BILLS TO VACCINE MANDATESNEWT GINGRICH: If you're Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer you’re already discounting next year and assuming you’re gonna get wiped out, so you’re trying to drive through everything to pay off your allies before the catastrophe hits. And I think it’s a little bit like people trying to build a house on a beach while a tsunami’s coming, and they’re trying desperately to finish the house and this wave gets bigger every week.

Two Pennsylvania teens arrested last week are being charged as adults after authorities say the pair were allegedly "in the planning stages of a school shooting." OXFORD SCHOOL OFFICIALS ACCUSED OF DESTROYING SCHOOL SHOOTING EVIDENCE, JUDGE ORDERS THEM TO PRESERVE ITThe 16-year-old had allegedly allowed the 17-year-old, a former student who was barred from the school by a court order, into the school building, the Meadville Tribune reported.

The 17-year-old faces charges of conspiracy to commit terrorism and conspiracy to commit aggravated assault, both first-degree felonies. Since the shooting in Michigan, students in New Jersey and South Carolina have been arrested after allegedly making threats against their schools.

Fox News contributor Joe Concha predicted there will be a "red tsunami" during the 2022 midterm elections as President Biden's approval nosedives to new lows among various topics. Concha joined "Fox & Friends First" on Monday, arguing the Biden White House does not want to "answer the tough questions" and American voices "will be heard" during the elections next year as a result. We're at a time [when] homicides are skyrocketing in cities from Philadelphia to Chicago to Austin to Los Angeles, and dozens in between. Nor she, as a former district attorney and attorney general in California, can be bothered to address crime in any way, shape or form.

A 15-year-old boy accused of opening fire at his Michigan high school, killing four students and wounding seven other people, was due in court Monday for a procedural hearing. Ethan Crumbley is charged as an adult with murder, terrorism and other counts for the Nov. 30 shooting at Oxford High School, about 30 miles north of Detroit. Crumbley's parents, James and Jennifer Crumbley, are accused of failing to intervene on the day of the tragedy and are charged with involuntary manslaughter and were arrested.

Two Texas fathers who got arrested for allegedly disturbing meetings of the Round Rock Independent School District school board told Fox News they ultimately blame the school board and Superintendent Hafedh Azaiez for the arrests. School board respondsAmy Weir, president of the Round Rock ISD school board, told Fox News that "there has never been an attempt to silence Mr. Despite their concerns and those of two members of the school board, the five other school board members voted to hire Azaiez rather than wait to investigate him.

But few races may be as hotly contested – or expensive – as the open seat in Texas' 15th Congressional District. GOP candidate Monica De La Cruz, who nearly upset Gonzalez in 2020, is running again in a cycle that's expected to be even more favorable for Republicans. De La Cruz was part of the first round of non-incumbent endorsements from the GOP PAC Winning for Women (WFW). Besides the Garza challenge, De La Cruz faces some other headwinds as she seeks to improve on her 2020 election performance. De la Cruz said in a tweet last month her divorce was related to "mental health issues in our family" and asked for privacy.

Crime is spilling into Minneapolis’ suburbs, putting the neighborhoods "under attack from mobile criminals," one local mayor said. Hovland said he will meet with mayors, city managers and police chiefs of neighboring towns to discuss how to combat the recent increase in crimes. On the offensive side, as mentioned above, we are working day and night to apprehend these criminals and thwart future criminal activity. Minneapolis also saw widespread riots and protests in the summer of 2020 following the death of George Floyd in the city. Calls to defund the police rang out in Minneapolis following Floyd's death, sparking the city to strip millions from the police department.

The New York City Council on Thursday approved a measure to allow the nearly 800,000 legal non-citizens in the metropolis to vote in municipal elections. The measure, which would affect green card holders and those with work authorizations, doesn’t include state or federal elections and people in the country illegally would not be allowed to vote, according to FOX 5 in New York City. The city would be the largest to allow non-citizens to vote. The New York State Republican Party last week vowed it would take legal action if necessary to stop the measure. NY REPUBLICANS VOW TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION IF DE BLASIO SIGNS BILL ALLOWING NON-CITIZENS TO VOTE"We pledge action, legal or otherwise, any means necessary to stop this dangerous legislation from undermining our elections," party chairman Nick Langworthy said.

Businesses across the US may face a collective $13.5 billion in costs next year associated with flood damage as climate change exacerbates the severity of storms and rising sea levels cause flooding even in mainland cities, according to a new study. Some 730,000 stores, offices and residential buildings could be hit by flood damage next year, according to First Street Foundation, a nonprofit research and technology group that focuses on climate risk. APA person works to clean up damage in a flooded store after the remnants of Tropical Storm Ida in the Bronx. That’s expected to grow almost 30 percent to 4 million days a year by 2051, according to the study.

Over the last year, our adversaries around the world have watched the Biden-Harris administration stumble from one blunder to the next. Should Ukraine fall to Russian control, what’s to stop Putin from making incursions into Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia or Georgia? Capitulation to the now-complete NordStream II pipeline has already given Russia a firm grasp over European energy supplies. Instead of fly-swatters, the Biden-Harris administration must send Ukraine bear traps in the form of lethal military assistance. Now is not the time for the Biden-Harris administration to flinch in the face of Putin’s ambitions.

A group of Democrats led by Rep. Ayanna Pressley Wednesday ratcheted up the pressure on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to strip Rep. Lauren Boebert of her committee assignments after offensive comments Boebert made about Muslim Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. Pelosi Wednesday slammed Republicans for not punishing Boebert on their own and said it's up to them to publish Boebert, not Democrats. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., also joined Pressley, Ocasio-Cortez, and other "Squad" members on stage. Her presence was notable after serious disagreements those members had before with Wasserman Schultz, who is a staunch defender of Israel. "Not on my watch," Wasserman Schultz said.

Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., made a gloom prediction for the Democratic Party's electoral future Monday as he implored the moderates and progressives within the party to come together and bridge the stark divide between them. WILL THE DEMOCRATS' DIVIDE BE THEIR DOWNFALL? "Somebody has to explain how a ten percentage election margin of Joe Biden one year ago evaporated last Tuesday here in Virginia," Connolly told former Democratic Missouri Senator turned MSNBC analyst Claire McCaskill. And we've got to understand the old adage: If we don’t hang together, we most assuredly will hang separately," he said. And it's one that if it's replicated nationwide would spell enormous trouble for us in the midterms.

Allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections "suffocates liberty" by making governments larger and more powerful, National Review Institute senior fellow Andrew McCarthy told Fox News Digital. The New York City council on Thursday passed a measure allowing some 800,000 noncitizen residents the right to vote in local elections. "Immigrants in New York City own over half of the local businesses and contribute over $190 billion dollars to the citywide GDP." New York City-based noncitizens will be eligible to register to vote by December 2022 and cast ballots by January 2023. Undocumented immigrants will not be allowed to vote, as is the case for all noncitizen voting legislation that exists in the U.S. today.

Twenty years ago, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) joined the World Trade Organization (WTO). For many of our nation’s economic elites, this symbolized the dawn of a utopian era of peace, prosperity and openness. But to regain American strength and standing in the world, we must recognize why that consensus was – and still is – deeply flawed. Forging a path toward a pro-American capitalism that protects our nation’s interests and serves the common good will not be easy.

One Arizona sergeant is sounding the alarm on a coronavirus vaccine requirement for all county employees who work with vulnerable populations, which includes corrections officers. ARIZONA COUNTY COULD 'REDUCE' JAIL POPULATION IF MORE CORRECTIONS OFFICERS DON'T GET VACCINATED"Our current staffing situation is terrible. And as of right now, I believe we're sitting at approximately 365 corrections officers available," Dominguez said. Chris Nanos, the sheriff of Pima County told Fox News that the county is prepared to handle the termination of correction officers. "The Pima County Sheriff’s Department is well prepared to handle the dismissal of 158 correctional officers if the need arise.

But just a few days later, two Senate Democrats, Jon Tester of Montana and Joe Manchin of West Virginia, supported a resolution that would invalidate Biden's vaccine mandate for businesses. Democrats' biggest agenda items – their massive reconciliation spending bill and the infrastructure bill – are where these divisions are exposed the most. But progressives demanded that the bill be held up until the Senate passed a social spending reconciliation bill up to their standards. Moderates countered that the infrastructure bill should be swiftly ushered to President Biden's desk. Progressives said they didn't trust the moderates to act in good faith once the infrastructure bill was law.

They are also worried that Biden’s Build Back Better bill will only make matters worse, despite Biden’s non-credible assertions to the contrary. Some in the White House treated the issue as frivolous. Unhappily, the ideologues running the White House will not consider suspending the Jones Act or confronting unionized longshoremen to improve the efficiency of our ports. Instead, Biden and his Democrat colleagues will plow forward with Build Back Better. The reality is that the giant push toward a socialist society will not buy love, or Build Back Biden.

About 100 New York City garbage collectors and their bosses pulled in salaries of about $300,000 due to a windfall from overtime, a report published Sunday said. The New York Post, citing a department representative, reported that the blowout salaries were due to excessive overtime hours because of staffing issues throughout the year. The paper identified Christopher Tamas, a supervisor in the Bronx who was hired in 2000, as the overtime "king." TEEN COUPLE MISSING AFTER TAKING TRAIN INTO NYCLike other city organizations, the agency has a vaccine mandate in place that has compounded staffing issues.

Iran appears to be preparing for a space launch as negotiations continue in Vienna over its tattered nuclear deal with world powers, according to an expert and satellite images. The U.S. military, which tracks space launches, did not respond to requests for comment. Iran's civilian space program has seen a series of setbacks and fatal explosions plague it in recent years. Meanwhile, the Guard in April 2020 revealed its own secret space program by successfully launching a satellite into orbit.

Criswell's comments come after President Biden said it was too early to tell whether climate change could have played a role in the outbreak, saying he would have the Environmental Protection Agency assess the possibility.

The owners of Industry City in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park suffered a setback last year when one progress-hating City Council member torpedoed a rezoning that would have allowed a few more buildings to rise at the 35-acre site. CEO Andrew Kimball has plenty of good news to report about Industry City — the pandemic notwithstanding. For example, Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group leases 20,000 square feet of offices within a 70,000-square-foot commissary facility, all in a single building. But unlike the Navy Yard, which is city owned and has enjoyed subsidies, Industry City is entirely privately owned and funded and is more public-friendly. “I’ve worked with [former Brooklyn borough president] Eric Adams for many years, both at the Navy Yard and at Industry City,” he said.

An 18-year-old man in Austin, Texas, was indicted Friday regarding his alleged connection with a mass shooting that occurred on Sixth Street in the state capital on June 6. Sixth Street is the heart of Austin's music scene and one of the city's major tourist draws. Jeremiah Tabb, 18, was indicted by a Travis County grand jury on a charge of tampering with evidence, which is a third-degree felony, according to the Travis County District Attorney’s Office. The District Attorney’s Office will not rest until everyone responsible is held accountable," said Travis County District Attorney José Garza in a press release. The Sixth Street shooting is believed to have stemmed from a dispute between rival groups of teenagers from Killeen, according to court documents obtained by FOX 7.

Beijing exploits America’s top research universities to boost the Chinese military-industrial complex, and it needs to stop. A new report from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies details how China-sponsored Confucius Institutes at campuses across America facilitate Beijing’s espionage. In particular, research partnerships with 28 universities (including Stanford, Tufts and Texas A&M) boost Beijing’s military apparatus, including intelligence, nuclear weapons and cyberespionage platforms. And they facilitate forming the “research partnerships” that quietly let Beijing steal technology and other intellectual property. Congress cracked down on the spying by banning universities that host Confucius Institutes from receiving key Defense Department grants and contracts; two-thirds of the institutes across US academia have since closed.

No CPAC invitation will be in the offing anytime soon, but Vladimir Putin has picked up admirers on the populist right here and abroad that he doesn’t deserve. With Putin threatening to invade Ukraine, the Russian dictator will again become a top-of-mind concern. They think he has the right enemies, namely the same establishment that also scorned Donald Trump. Russian President Vladimir Putin sits during his talk with US President Joe Biden regarding Russian forces building up at the Ukraine border. Likewise, just because Putin is pursuing his self-interest in Ukraine, it doesn’t mean we can’t pursue ours.

New York lawmakers clearly hate New Yorkers. That’s what the City Council did last week by passing a bill meant to make it much harder for tenants to open their homes for rent via services like Airbnb. What do lawmakers — like Councilman Ben Kallos, who sponsored the bill — have against tenants, anyway? The legislation forces short-term rental hosts to register with the city and provide mountains of information. Then how about rolling back rent regulation, which would “put housing back on the market” practically overnight?

November saw a huge jump in subway robberies and overall felonies underground, according to newly released statistics. The figures included in the public materials for Monday’s MTA transit committee meeting show felony robberies more than doubled from October to November, from 40 to 88. According to a spokesman, Mayor-elect Eric Adams wants to increase the amount of transit cops in subway stations. The rate of subway crimes soared amid the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021 compared to 2019, when NYPD recorded a comparatively scant 1.47 felonies per million riders. That said, subway crime totals in 2021 are the lowest in 25 years, the MTA said.

While the job market in the U.S. is looking more promising as the latest weekly jobless claims hit their lowest level since September 1969, there remains an ongoing concern about the country’s labor shortage. Currently, there are 11 million job openings and employers across the country say they can’t recruit people to work. On The FOX News Rundown earlier this week, Lisa Brady spoke to Mike Rowe, host of ‘Dirty Jobs’, about what the labor shortage in the U.S. says about the direction of work culture in this country and why we do not do enough to celebrate the blue-collar worker.

First lady Jill Biden dismissed concerns about President Biden 's mental acuity as "ridiculous," during an interview with "CBS Sunday Morning." Touching on the president's plummeting poll numbers, CBS correspondent Rita Braver noted to the first lady: "Quite a few Americans have some questions about the president’s current mental fitness."
