Oakland Police Assistant Chief Howard Jordan said the suspect, Devaughndre Broussard, a 19-year-old associate of the group that runs the Oakland-based Your Black Muslim Bakery, has confessed to fatally shooting the 57-year-old Oakland Post editor. Jordan said Broussard apparently was upset about a story Bailey was working on involving the group's finances, although he would not go into details. He also said police don't believe Broussard acted alone, but investigators are still piecing together how the plan was developed. Authorities said Broussard likely will be charged on Tuesday. Charges are also expected against two other affiliates of the group, but they involve a kidnapping and robbery that took place in May in Oakland. The three were among seven people arrested Friday, a day after Bailey's slaying, during law-enforcement raids at the bakery and three other locations. The business was subsequently shut down by county health inspectors because of unsanitary conditions discovered during the raid. The raids on the bakery organization, founded nearly 40 years ago with a mission to empower Oakland's poor, capped off a yearlong investigation into an alleged series of violent crimes police said were connected to the group. The group's 21-year-old chief executive officer, Yusuf Bey IV, son of the bakery's founder, was arrested on an outstanding assault warrant issued for an April 2006 incident in which he allegedly struck a bouncer with his BMW after being thrown out of a San Francisco strip club. Bey also pleaded not guilty last year to charges he was the ringleader of a Black Muslim group caught by surveillance cameras in November 2005 smashing up two Oakland liquor stores for selling alcohol to the black community. Bailey was a longtime reporter for the Oakland Tribune before becoming editor of the Post, a weekly newspaper geared toward the Bay Area black community, earlier this year. Witnesses said he was ambushed Thursday morning as he walked to work in downtown Oakland. A man wearing a mask shot Bailey three times and then fled. The brazenness of the attack shocked many, prompting calls for community mobilization against violence in the city. "The public has every right to be upset because he was an innocent man trying to write a story to educate the public on the things that were happening in an organization that they have the right to know," Jordan said. | e8210503-f376-5041-90f3-267e4399726f | 05/19/25 |

How can I make sure I don’t get hit with a huge cell phone bill?</p><p>A: One solution is both easy and sustainable, and it works in most foreign countries: You buy an “unlocked” smartphone, and when you arrive at the airport, you have a local SIM card installed. You can usually find a booth at the airport, where agents are ready and waiting to provide you with service; they’ll ask you how long you’re in the country, and they’ll explain different packages to you. When a friend recently visited Taiwan, he brought an old iPhone and was able to secure two weeks of unlimited data for less than $20. This is very convenient, especially if you travel often. But if you already have an international data plan and want to use it responsibly, make sure you change one thing. <a href="https://www.komando.com/tips/588083/change-this-smartphone-setting-to-save-big-money-while-traveling" target="_blank">Tap or click here for the smartphone setting that could save you big money</a>.</p><div class="ad-container tablet ad-h-50 ad-w-300"><div class="ad gam" data-iu="lb4" id="tablet-tw-ad-lb4"></div> <script>

Understand, 4K TVs are pretty amazing, and the picture quality can shock and amaze. The Ks have only gone up from there, such as 8K resolution, but it's hard to say whether this improves the visual experience for the typical viewer. Much of this gear is designed for enthusiasts, and streaming services like Netflix provide a decent picture but can hardly match the quality your screen is capable of. In short, you may want to wait a little bit longer, because HDR is about to expand into consumer television sets. You've probably seen those letters before; this is a file type that you can likely use on your phone's camera. But what it is exactly?

With all the data breaches, is there anything I can do to protect myself from getting scammed? A: You are absolutely right, and it’s no exaggeration to say that 2019 has been a landmark year for data breaches. You have sensed this already; new hacks are announced almost every week, and some targets are major financial institutions. Car manufacturers and medical companies have also fallen victim. Nearly as frightening as the data theft itself is not knowing what data was stolen. There are ways to protect yourself, or at least mitigate the damage, but you should act soon. Tap or click here to see a list of the significant data breaches so far this year. Stop Spam Texts Q: I'm not sure what's worse, robocalls, or spammy text messages! How can I block spam text messages from taking over my phone? A: Spam texts are quickly becoming an epidemic in their own right, inundating cell phones with useless or misleading correspondence. Phone carriers are finally taking this threat seriously and attempting to track down and diminish the “robo” market. Still, limiting the number of texts you receive remains a challenge, and some people don’t realize how many defenses they have at their disposal, such as blocking numbers, texting STOP to the number in question, or filing a complaint with the FTC. Tap or click here to block spam text messages. Overseas Phone Service Q: In a few months, the wife and I are taking a trip to Rome. How can I make sure I don’t get hit with a huge cell phone bill? A: One solution is both easy and sustainable, and it works in most foreign countries: You buy an “unlocked” smartphone, and when you arrive at the airport, you have a local SIM card installed. You can usually find a booth at the airport, where agents are ready and waiting to provide you with service; they’ll ask you how long you’re in the country, and they’ll explain different packages to you. When a friend recently visited Taiwan, he brought an old iPhone and was able to secure two weeks of unlimited data for less than $20. This is very convenient, especially if you travel often. But if you already have an international data plan and want to use it responsibly, make sure you change one thing. Tap or click here for the smartphone setting that could save you big money.

There are around 4,000 items, most of which are military pieces. The discovery of the Staffordshire Hoard came in 2009. A metal detectorist was scanning farmland in the village of Hammerwich in England when his detector signaled a find. What was found buried in the soil turned out to be monumental. Over the following days, the metal detectorist began to pick up pieces of a collection that would later be known as the Staffordshire Hoard. He later contacted a finds liaison officer for the Staffordshire and West Midlands Portable Antiquities Scheme for further assistance, according to Ancient Origins. COLLEGE STUDENT IN DENMARK USES METAL DETECTOR TO DISCOVER ANCIENT JEWELRY With permission from the landowner, a full excavation was conducted. Birmingham Archeology later joined in to assist, according to the source. After the items were collected, a 10-year conservation and research project was in pursuit. The findings of the project were published in 2019 in the book "The Staffordshire Hoard: An Anglo-Saxon Treasure" and online. During this period, ancient objects found were carefully cleaned and x-rays were taken, according to Birmingham Museums. IRISH FARMER FINDS NEAR 60-POUND SLAB OF ANCIENT BOG BUTTER ON HIS LAND BY ‘PURE LUCK’ Another part of this effort was to begin matching fragments that belonged to the same object because many of the items were found in incomplete parts. Through detailed research, there has been so much knowledge gained about this collection, including when it dates back to, but there are still questions unanswered. Archaeologists believe the collection was buried during the 7th century (650-675 AD), according to Birmingham Museums. Many objects that have been discovered from the time period have been jewelry, specifically brooches and pendants, according to the Stoke Museums. RARE ANCIENT CELTIC ARTIFACT IN POLAND, 2,300-YEAR-OLD METAL OBJECT EXCAVATED FROM CHARCOAL PIT An element of the Staffordshire Hoard's uniqueness is that it is mostly made up of war gear, according to Stoke Museums. One of the Staffordshire Hoard's most valuable items is an ancient war helmet. The helmet was far from complete when it was discovered because it was broken into 1,000 pieces, according to Stoke Museums. During the days when the helmet was completed, it likely sat atop the head of a king. After months of research, there were two replicas of the helmet created, one of which is on display at the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent and the other at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. MOM, SONG DIG UP ANCIENT OBJECT OFTEN FOUND NEAR BURIAL GROUNDS WHILE GARDENING Fragmented pieces make up the majority of the Staffordshire Hoard, which put together equals 700 items, according to Birmingham Museums.

The U.S. military insisted the battle was a victory that will help secure fall elections — rather than a sign of the resilience of Taliban-led militants. Two Marines were wounded in the fighting, the military said. "The Marines have been aggressive, relentless and successful," U.S. military spokesman Lt. Col. Tucker Mansager said. "They have demonstrated that there is no refuge for the terrorists." Some 2,000 Marines were sent to Afghanistan this spring, swelling the U.S.-dominated force to 20,000 — its largest yet — in an attempt to put rebels on the defensive ahead of September elections. Militants have stepped up their own operations, feeding a spiral of violence that has left more than 450 people dead across the country this year. Troops elsewhere had come under rocket and mortar fire several times in recent days but suffered no casualties, Mansager said. In another operation, U.S. troops on Friday detained an expert bombmaker about 40 miles south of Kabul, Mansager said. He described the suspect as a "medium-value target" but declined to give more details. The U.S. military and international peacekeepers based in Kabul have warned since last year that militants are increasingly using the kind of roadside bombs that have proved so deadly in Iraq. Seven U.S. serviceman have been killed in southern Afghanistan (search) since early May — including four when a mine ripped through their Humvee — and dozens of Afghan soldiers have died in the region this year. The Marines are based in Uruzgan Province, the home of fugitive Taliban leader Mullah Omar (search), and have called in warplanes to pound a large group of militants in nearby mountains. Most of the fighting has been near Daychopan (search), in neighboring Zabul province, a rerun of clashes last summer that left more than 100 militants and one American special operations soldier dead. Mansager said the Marines' offensive was allowing regular Army troops to focus on building ties with local communities across the troubled border region. Commanders hope this approach, which includes millions of dollars in reconstruction aid, will persuade villagers and tribes to turn against the militants and provide intelligence. It also is supposed to help safeguard the elections. The United Nations has registered nearly one-third of the estimated 10 million voters but has yet to send voter registration teams into the most hostile areas. Eleven rockets were fired at a convoy of U.N., government and American military officials in a lawless region near the Pakistani border on Friday, injuring no one. | 3dfeb30c-0a8c-50ef-9252-18f853612ac4 | 05/19/25 |

We have done it,” Pelosi told The San Francisco Chronicle's Tal Kopan on Wednesday. “If you are annoyed with my impatience," she added, "it’s because people are dying because Senator McConnell hasn’t acted. Why don’t you go ask him if he has any regrets for all the people who died because he hasn’t acted?” GUN CONTROL BATTLE RETURNS TO POLITICAL STAGE AHEAD OF DEMOCRATIC DEBATE The reporter had asked Pelosi whether she regretted not bringing the House back in August to "keep the flame lit on gun violence." Pelosi argued that the Senate was at fault because it didn't come back to pass a measure on gun violence. "Why don’t you all get that straight? The Senate did not come back to pass the bill," she said. She added that "lives are at stake" and she was "getting very angry about the silliness of these questions." Her comments came as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., accused Democratic leaders of "theatrics" and trying to "scare people" after they held a press conference on the issue.

Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., was going to speak Friday. The event was organized by the Arizona Palestine Network, which is not an on-campus organization at ASU. Tlaib was going to give a speech at the "Palestine is an American issue" event. An ASU spokesperson told Fox News Digital the event didn't follow university policies and procedures. "Organizers of events using ASU facilities must be properly registered with ASU and must meet all university requirements for crowd management, parking, security, and insurance. In addition, the events must be produced in a way which minimizes disruption to academic and other activities on campus. The event featuring Congresswoman Tlaib was planned and produced by groups not affiliated with ASU and was organized outside of ASU policies and procedures. Accordingly, that event will not take place today on the ASU Tempe campus," the spokesperson said. PRO-PALESTINIAN RALLIES IN NYC AND DC INTERRUPT CROWDED HUBS DURING RUSH-HOUR COMMUTE The Arizona Palestine Network responded to the cancelation on Facebook, calling it "completely unacceptable." "Rashida Tlaib must be heard on campus as the only Palestinian member of Congress who plans to speak on an American issue at this event. ASU cannot claim to hold free speech as a principle while denying Palestinians their voices on campus. Cancelling this event puts the university in direct contradiction with its charter as a university 'measured not by whom it excludes, but by whom it includes and how they succeed,'" the group wrote. ANTISEMITISM EXPOSED Tlaib's appearance in Arizona would have come just over a week after the House of Representatives voted to censure her over anti-Israel comments she made. The text of the resolution accused her of "promoting false narratives regarding the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and for calling for the destruction of the state of Israel."

MLB followed in the footsteps of the National Basketball Association and Major League Soccer in deciding to put their season on hold. The NBA and NHL both suspended their seasons. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE CORONAVIRUS "MLB will continue to evaluate ongoing events leading up to the start of the season," the league said in a statement. "Guidance related to daily operations and workouts will be relayed to Clubs in the coming days. As of 4:00 p.m. (ET) today, forthcoming Spring Training games have been cancelled, and 2020 World Baseball Classic Qualifier games in Tucson, Arizona have been postponed indefinitely. "MLB and the Clubs have been preparing a variety of contingency plans regarding the 2020 regular-season schedule. MLB will announce the effects on the schedule at an appropriate time and will remain flexible as events warrant, with the hope of resuming normal operations as soon as possible. "Nothing is more important to us than the health and safety of our players, employees and fans. MLB will continue to undertake the precautions and best practices recommended by public health experts. We send our best wishes to all individuals and communities that have been impacted by coronavirus."

He caught the fish soon after the death of one of his good friends. "I had a good buddy of 30 years who passed away," Schnur said in a statement. "The funny thing is his wife called me that morning with the news. And she asked me to do her a favor and catch a fish in his name. My girlfriend and I went out to his favorite spot originally for crappie fishing when she happened to spot the gar. And sure enough, we caught it and it turned out to be a record. It’s absolutely unreal." 7-YEAR-OLD REELS IN FISH AS BIG AS HE IS WITH ROD HE BOUGHT WITH HIS ALLOWANCE Schnur added that he has special plans for the longnose gar. "I really hope to mount this fish in my friend’s memory," he said. "I think it would be a beautiful way to honor him." CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Schnur’s catch is the fourth record fish caught this year in the state, officials said. The state recognizes fish records in two categories: pole-and-line and alternative methods -- which include throwlines, limb lines, bank lines, jug lines, spearfishing, snagging, snaring, gigging, grabbing, archery and atlatl, the department said. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER Earlier this year, another Missouri angler broke the state record for the largest spotted gar. At the time, state officials said the fish was also potentially big enough to break the world record. Devlin Rich reeled in a 10-pound, 9-ounce spotted gar in February, Fox News reported last month. The previous record was set in 1994, at 9 pounds, 12 ounces. | c05be176-685f-5a00-b0fc-9ec0556d22a1 | 05/19/25 |

The 33-year-old's murder came on the fourth anniversary of Gray's funeral and the citywide riots that highlighted the frustration and distrust with the police department and the deep divide that exists to this day in Maryland's largest city. A day after Grant's death, another gunman in the city's western district fired into a crowd of people enjoying an afternoon cookout, killing one man and injuring seven others. AT LEAST 1 DEAD, 7 INJURED IN BALTIMORE SHOOTING Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said a man approached the group of people on foot and began shooting. Harrison and acting Mayor Jack Young asked the community to help investigators identify the shooter and any possible motive. "Someone knows something," Young said at a press conference. "These things ... they don't happen by happenstance. People know who's doing these shootings." The incident occurred about six weeks after Harrison was sworn-in as commissioner. During his swearing-in ceremony on March 12, the former leader of the New Orleans police force and ordained minister, promised to make Baltimore safer and lead the department through sweeping reforms- but the task is proving to be a herculean one and residents say they're losing hope. Beverly White, who has lived in the city for more than three decades, told Fox News she has struggled to keep her family safe. "There have been shootings one after another," she said on Monday. "We've had people come here and promise to clean up the streets but nothing happens. People feel unsafe in their neighborhoods. (Harrison) says he's going to turn things around. It's a nice thought, but they keep killing people... it's going to get worse in the summer. It always gets worse in the summer." Michael Singleton says the relationship the community has with the police department is in a state of disrepair. "They don't like us and we don't like them," he told Fox News. "I don't see that changing." BALTIMORE MAYOR CATHERINE PUGH IN POOR HEALTH, NOT 'LUCID' ENOUGH TO RESIGN: ATTORNEY People feel unsafe in their neighborhoods. (Harrison) says he's going to turn things around. It's a nice thought but they keep killing people... it's going to get worse in the summer. It always gets worse in the summer. To be fair, Harrison inherited a dysfunctional force that's long been distrusted by many residents. Misconduct by officers and chronically high rates of violent crime are just a handful of systemic failures in Baltimore. In 2017, the city had 342 homicides -- which comes out to 56 per 100,000 people. Last year, the homicide count also passed the 300 mark. The new commissioner's daunting to-do list comes as Baltimore tries to implement a federal consent decree mandating sweeping reforms after U.S. investigators detailed longstanding patterns of unconstitutional policing and excessive force. Charm City has also been struggling with a crisis of confidence when it comes to its political leaders. Last week, federal agents raided the homes and City Hall offices of Baltimore's embattled Mayor Catherine Pugh, widening an investigation into whether she used bulk sales of her self-published children's book to disguise kickbacks. The early-morning searches were just the latest setback for the politically isolated first-term mayor who campaigned on transparency and ending corruption. FBI RAIDS EMBATTLED BALTIMORE MAYOR CATHERINE PUGH'S HOMES, CITY HALL OFFICES Republican Gov. Larry Hogan joined a growing group of people who want Pugh to step down and has called on the state prosecutor to investigate allegations of "self-dealing" by Pugh. “Now more than ever, Baltimore City needs strong and responsible leadership,” Hogan tweeted Thursday. “Mayor Pugh has lost the public trust. She is clearly not fit to lead. For the good of the city, Mayor Pugh must resign.” Baltimore City Council members echoed the sentiment, and Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot tweeted last month: "The Mayor has to resign - now. The people of Baltimore are facing too many serious challenges, as it is, to also deal with such brazen, cartoonish corruption from their chief executive." Pugh has been on paid administrative leave for the past month as calls to go grow, but she is hardly the first Baltimore mayor who has faced calls to leave. Democratic Mayor Sheila Dixon resigned from office in 2010 to save her pension and preserve the possibility of working for the city or state again. Pugh beat out Dixon by about 3,000 votes to clinch the 2016 Democratic primary. John Dedie, a political science coordinator at the Community College of Baltimore County, told The Associated Press that one of the city's greatest fears is to be "seen as a laughing stock, like Detroit was years ago until the governor of Michigan put it in receivership." He added: "Detroit's problems were fiscal mismanagement. Baltimore's is political incompetence." Another problem facing Maryland -- Baltimore in particular -- is its increase in illegal drugs, which has led to turf wars and violence. The state itself has one of the country's most punishing overdose mortality rates and noted a record-high number of drug deaths in 2018, fueled by an increase in fentanyl-related fatalities.

"Thousands of people are dying waiting in line to see a doctor. That is not going to happen anymore," Trump told veterans gathered in front of the Lincoln Memorial as part of the annual Rolling Thunder event, which brings thousands of motorcyclists to Washington each Memorial Day weekend. Trump has repeated his comparison of the treatment of immigrants and veterans frequently during the campaign. Congress and many states have written an assortment of laws and policies designed to restrict government services to people living in the country illegally. The Veterans Affairs Department, meanwhile, has come under criticism and congressional scrutiny for a number of failures, from cutting off benefits of thousands of veterans who were wrongly declared dead to chronically long wait times for medical services at VA health care sites. As many as 40 patients died while awaiting care at the Phoenix VA hospital alone. The Rolling Thunder event is organized to draw attention to veterans' issues and dedicated to remembering prisoners of war and service members missing in action. "We're with you 100 percent," Trump told the crowd. Trump, now the presumptive Republican nominee for president, angered veterans last year when he said he liked "people who weren't captured" in wars. That had been a dig at Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the party's 2008 nominee, who had been captured and held for more than five years during the Vietnam War after his plane was shot down. Trump claimed that McCain was a "war hero because he was captured." Trump quickly tried to walk back the comment but has refused to apologize to McCain. Many veterans groups were furious, but since then Trump has worked to try to repair the damage. He frequently honors veterans at his rallies, and he has come out with a plan to overhaul the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Unfortunately, they don't allow 'em to come in," Trump complained as he finished up his speech. Trump's comments on McCain were also on the minds of many at the event, including John LeBoutillier, a former New York congressman who spoke at the event. LeBoutillier said Trump "got a little twisted up" with his anger when he spoke about McCain, but said the comment was "totally justified." "There has never been a public official who's been worse on the POW issue than John McCain," he said. McCain, in fact, has a long record of supporting veterans' issues in Congress.

"McCain was a prisoner of war, but I don't know — I think he's deserted the veterans, I really do," said Sukeena, 72, who served in Vietnam during his six years in the Navy, and now lives in Manassas, Virginia.

Story tips can be sent to [email protected] and on Twitter: @steph_pagones. </p></div></div></div> | EXCLUSIVE: BELGRADE, Serbia – The Massachusetts real estate executive missing since Jan. 1 pleaded with her mother to travel from her home country of Serbia to visit just one week before she vanished, leading the now-concerned woman to believe that there were "problems" at home before her daughter's disappearance, she told Fox News Digital. "She just said, ‘Please, mama. Come tomorrow,’" said Milanka Ljubicic, the mother of missing 39-year-old Ana Walshe, in an interview conducted on Monday and later translated to English. "Which means, that clearly, there must have been some problems." Ljubicic, 69, spoke to Fox News Digital outside her Belgrade, Serbia, apartment building, where she recalled how her daughter had sent her a text message on Dec. 25 and requested that Ljubicic travel to see her in Washington, D.C. the next day. MISSING MASSACHUSETTS MOM ANA WALSHE'S HUSBAND SEARCHED HOW TO DISMEMBER BODY: REPORT "She texted in the evening, urging me to come the next day to Washington," she said. She recalled responding, "I can’t get myself together in one day. I am 69 years old, I have to get my medications and a thousand other things." Ljubicic said she instead suggested she come the following day. BLOOD, KNIFE FOUND IN HOME OF MISSING MASSACHUSETTS REAL ESTATE EXEC: PROSECUTORS "And now I can’t forgive myself for not just letting things fall where they may, and just go, and whatever happens to me, happens." When asked if Ana gave Ljubicic any reason behind the urgency, Ljubicic said no. MISSING COHASSET WOMAN: TIMELINE OF ANA WALSHE'S MOVEMENTS BEFORE DISAPPEARANCE Ljubicic suggested to her daughter that she instead visit her on Jan. 5 or 6, but her daughter said she did not have to. "She said, ‘You don’t’ have to come in January. Brian and I are making plans for February,'" Ljubicic recalled. The woman then missed her daughter’s call around midnight on Dec. 31, and another call shortly thereafter, Ljubicic went on. "She called again at 1 a.m. and I missed that call too. She called her elder sister who was also asleep. Then she tried to call her maid-of-honor who didn’t hear the phone because of the loud music," she said. "And now, I regret not getting the phone, because she’s disappeared." MISSING MASSACHUSETTS MOTHER ANA WALSHE'S HUSBAND ARRESTED FOR ALLEGEDLY ‘MISLEADING A POLICE INVESTIGATION’ Walshe, a mother of three young boys, was last seen on the early morning hours of Jan. 1, when she was supposed to take a ride-share service to a local airport to board a flight bound for Washington, D.C. The Tishman Speyer real estate executive was previously scheduled to depart for D.C. on Jan. 3, but said there was an emergency that required she fly there earlier than expected. Her company reported her missing to police on Jan. 4, after, according to Brian Walshe’s defense attorney, he had contacted the firm asking about Ana’s whereabouts. But in the days between Ana’s disappearance and the missing person’s report, Brian Walshe allegedly lied about his own whereabouts. Investigators said Walshe not only told investigators he traveled to stores, such as CVS and Whole Foods, where he might not have been, but he neglected to mention that he spent about $450 in cash buying cleaning supplies from a Rockland, Massachusetts, Home Depot store. According to court documents and officials, Walshe was spotted on surveillance video "wearing a black surgical mask, blue surgical gloves and making a cash purchase" of items including mops, tape and drop cloths. Investigators also discovered blood and a bloody, damaged knife in the basement of the couple’s home, and traced Ana’s cell phone to the area of the family’s Cohasset home on Jan. 1 and Jan. 2. Meanwhile, Brian’s cell phone pinged in other parts of Massachusetts, such as Brockton and Abington, despite his lack of permission to be in the areas under the terms of his home confinement. Walshe was arrested on Sunday and charged with misleading a police investigation. Police attributed the charge to Walshe's alleged "the intentional, willful, and direct responses to questions about his whereabouts on the days of Sunday, January 1, 2023 and Monday, January 2, 2023," which they called, "a clear attempt to mislead and delay investigators." MISSING MOM ANA WALSHE: HUSBAND BRIAN WALSHE AFFIDAVIT Walshe’s defense attorney, Tracey Miner, argued that her client was otherwise forthcoming with authorities, but neglected to mention his trip to Home Depot. She noted that he had been "incredibly cooperative." Walshe, a previously convicted art fraudster, was ordered held on $500,000 cash bail over $5 million surety bond. Asked about Brian Walshe, Ljubicic described how her daughter was, at times, "irritated" because of the limitations Ana faced as a result of her husband’s pre-sentencing home confinement, such as how she "had to work in Washington living in a house by herself, while he was at home with the three kids." "From time to time [Brian’s] mom would help out. It’s possible that there was a disagreement over this and then during New Year’s Eve," she went on, "You have a few drinks and loosen up etc." But Ljubicic added: "That anything happened, I can’t believe it. In total, I spent sixteen months with my son-in-law and I never noticed anything bad about my son-in-law." Ljubicic said her daughter "loves him, and they love each other." "I cannot believe that he’d ever have done anything to her," she said. "He said to the police that everything with Ana was fine." Ljubicic said she last saw her daughter when she visited Belgrade at the end of November. She stayed for 10 days. "I couldn’t believe it, that something like this would happen to me," she said. "I just have just one wish, and that is that my daughter is alive." Fox News Digital's Rebecca Rosenberg contributed to this report. | f1009918-1a90-548a-8ba3-505ea4988b09 | 05/19/25 |

HONG KONG VIOLENCE LEAVES 1 SHOT BY POLICE "Let's call it what it is: Urban warfare in Hong Kong...we can't sugarcoat this." "Let's call it what it is: Urban warfare in Hong Kong...we can't sugarcoat this," Varney said on Fox Nation's "My Take." The protester was shot in the left side of the chest when a police officer opened fire with his revolver into a group, a police official said. It was the first time a protester has been shot as part of the unrest, which began in June of this year. PICTURES: PROTESTS IN HONG KONG "There is blood on the streets. That is urban warfare. Both sides organized for battle. After that shooting, it's now a clear-cut fight. Hong Kong versus Beijing -- and neither side is going to back off," Varney said. Video from the scene shows a dozen black-clad protesters hurling objects at a group of riot police pursuing them. One officer, who was surrounded, drew his revolver and pointed it at the group, before firing — leaving one protester to collapse on the street while others fled. NEWT GINGRICH: HONG KONG FREEDOM FIGHTERS NEED AND DESERVE US SUPPORT "They are squeezing our necks so we don't breathe the air of freedom," King Chan, a 57-year-old who came out to protest with her husband, told The Associated Press. LATEST HONG KONG PRO-DEMOCRACY PROTESTS END EARLY AFTER VIOLENT TURN She was one of the thousands who confronted police in multiple locations across the city, the largest number of simultaneous protests since early June, which were sparked over a now-shelved extradition bill that activists say was an example of how Hong Kong's freedoms and citizen rights are being eroded. The protests contrasted China's Communist Party celebrations on Tuesday in Beijing marking its 70th year in power which included a "display of military might," said Varney. "Marching down the street, 15,000 troops and a series of new deadly weapons including hypersonic missiles and brand new carrier killers -- that is long-range missiles capable of rendering an American carrier battle group obsolete. That changes the military balance in the Pacific. That is a big deal," he said. Varney also warned of the ramifications that a "bloodbath" in Hong Kong could have on the United States, urging the public "not to look away from the turmoil "on the other side of the world." "We can’t look away...Asia is on the other side of the world but what's going on over there is having a profound effect on the world -- and it is not over." "If there is a bloodbath in Hong Kong, it will be very difficult to conclude a trade deal with China," he warned, "and it will be hard to get the world economy going again when the world's second-largest economy is mired in political turmoil... and it will be hard to get serious growth here when the China trade standoff makes everyone nervous."

That's why I'm not really surprised we turned the page and were able to get into the playoffs."</p> <!-- --> <!-- --></div> | The Philadelphia Flyers turned the worst start in team history all the way into another playoff berth. They want to keep the turnaround rolling to June. Four years after their last appearance in the Stanley Cup finals, the pressure in Philadelphia only grows on a franchise that hasn't won a championship since 1975. The Flyers fired coach Peter Laviolette after a 0-3 start. Coach Craig Berube needed time to get adjusted and the Flyers' 1-7 record was the worst eight-game start in franchise history. But they finished 42-30-10 for 94 points. Led by captain Claude Giroux, the Flyers put a season that seemed destined for the draft lottery well behind them as they prepare for the New York Rangers. The teams split four games this season, with three games decided by two goals or fewer. "We can't be worrying about the Rangers too much," Giroux said. "I think we have to worry about what we do, how we play and how we play as a team. I think that's what we're looking for." If the Flyers are going to have any chance of knocking off the Rangers, they need goalie Steve Mason not only playing as well as he did in the heart of winter, but healthy. Mason sat out the season finale after getting bowled over late in the second period on Saturday when Pittsburgh's Jayson Megna failed to put on the brakes while streaking to the net. Mason won 33 games, had four shutouts and stopped 92 percent of his shots in his first full season in Philadelphia. Berube hoped Mason would be ready for Game 1 Thursday in New York. "All I know is that he's doing better," Berube said. Mason has played in only one career playoff series — all of four games — but the Rangers have a huge edge in net behind Henrik Lundqvist. The Flyers caught a break Monday when forward Scott Hartnell dodged a suspension and was fined only $5,000 for spearing Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Brett Bellemore. It was the kind of careless play that wasn't necessary in any game, much less in Sunday's meaningless season finale. Berube wasn't pleased and knows the Flyers need to play smarter hockey to have any chance at beating the Rangers. "You have to keep your emotions in check and you can't become a loose cannon out there," he said. "You have to play the right way. You have to be intense, but you have to be smart." The Flyers would love to steal at least one win at Madison Square Garden because the Rangers emerged as one of the top road teams in the league. They led the Eastern Conference with 25 road victories and surely won't be intimidated about playing in front of the rowdy orange-and-black faithful at the Wells Fargo Center when the series shifts next week to Philadelphia. The Flyers lost both games this season at MSG. The Rangers have eight straight wins overall against the Flyers at the Garden. "We've just got to come back to playing simple hockey, get some dirty goals and I think we're maybe due to get a win over there," Flyers center Sean Couturier said. "It's going to be an exciting playoffs and hopefully we can go get at least a couple of games over there." Giroux, Hartnell, Kimmo Timonen and Braydon Coburn are the only players left from the 2010 team, a gritty bunch that clinched a playoff berth on the season's last day and rode that bid all the way to Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals before losing to Chicago. They can only hope they have enough talent and luck to make a similar deep run, only with a different result in the finals. "Someone told me in November that we had a 4 percent chance to make the playoffs," Timonen said. "So that's a pretty good comeback for the team. "But if you look at our lineup and players, we really have a good lineup. I knew if we started playing as a team and everybody is doing their job, we're a great team. That's why I'm not really surprised we turned the page and were able to get into the playoffs." | 84ae6aa1-5034-5e3f-b37d-401ffbffc315 | 05/19/25 |

He overheard the would-be mugger demand a woman give him money and threaten to steal her purse, according to authorities. Then he allegedly fired a single shot to save the 40-year-old stranger at the busy 49th Street subway station, near Rockefeller Center, around 9:15 p.m. Tuesday. The NYPD is asking for the public's help identifying him in connection with what authorities are describing as a "reckless endangerment incident." 65-YEAR-OLD WOMAN ATTACKED BY MADMAN BLASTS NYC LEADERS AFTER SUSPECT STRIKES AGAIN The robbery suspect, 49-year-old Matthew Roesch, has already been arrested, police said. He has one prior arrest – but it came in September. But police are still looking for the unidentified man who appeared on surveillance video thwarting the attack on the northbound platform Tuesday night, New York authorities told Fox News Digital. The man left on foot, and his whereabouts were unknown as of Wednesday morning. CAREER CRIMINAL ARRESTED IN NYC SHOVE THAT NEARLY KILLED COMMUTER ONCE THREW URINE ON OFFICER Authorities described the man they are looking for as a light-skinned man between 35 and 45 years old. He is around 5 feet, 9 inches tall and about 230 pounds. He was wearing a green T-shirt, black shorts, black sneakers and white socks. He was carrying a green backpack and also a green reusable shopping bag from B&H, a popular camera store. No one was injured during the incident, according to police. NYC WOMAN SHOVED INTO MOVING SUBWAY TRAIN IS ‘FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE,’ OFFICIALS SAY Ralph Cilento, a retired lieutenant commander of detectives at the NYPD and adjunct professor of police science at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, had predicted a rise in vigilanteism last year after another New York man shot and killed a robbery suspect on a Queens sidewalk and a belligerent straphanger died after a physical encounter in which a U.S. Marine veteran placed him in a chokehold. New York has a "duty to retreat" law in which physical force is allowed in self-defense or the defense of others only if the subject feels that they cannot retreat and life is in danger. While city crime stats show slight declines now after spiking during the coronavirus pandemic, he said even a small decline is a positive sign but that rank-and-file officers have been jarred by frequent leadership changes in the upper echelons of the NYPD, which coincides with public unease. "People of New York City are armed now," Cilento told Fox News Digital. "It’s not just guns… people are walking around with knives on them now, working women in midtown, they’re carrying Tasers. People have to feel that their police department is going to uphold the social order." CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP The NYPD has visibly increased its presence within the city's subway system. Earlier this week, officers were there to rescue a man who fell on to the tracks in Queens. "The increase in patrols in subways is definitely a good thing, nobody would say otherwise," he told Fox News Digital. "There's definitely tangible results." But people are still worried. Just last month, a repeat offender shoved a woman off a nearby subway platform into a moving train, nearly killing her. Police statistics show that transit crimes have fallen by 3.6% so far this year compared to last – but are up 29% over 2021. "It goes down 3.6%, you can't turn up your nose from that," Cilento said. "But it's down from such a high that the overall trend has to carry down – the sample size is not big enough to take a victory lap." | 07d6f4d1-828f-52fd-bd7c-e9e303193bd5 | 05/19/25 |

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said Thursday that U.S. banks and thrifts also more than doubled the amount they set aside to cover potential loan losses, to $69.3 billion in the fourth quarter from $32.1 billion a year earlier. Regulators said there were 252 banks in trouble at the end of 2008, up from 171 in the third quarter. The FDIC also said that for all of last year, the banking industry earned $16.1 billion, the smallest annual profit since 1990. Rising losses on loans and eroding values of assets "overwhelmed" banks' revenues in the fourth quarter, the FDIC said. More than two-thirds of all banks and thrifts turned a profit in that period but their earnings were outstripped by large losses at a number of major banks. FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair, reaching for a silver lining in the dismal picture, noted that total bank deposits increased in the October-December period by $307.9 billion, or 3.5 percent -- the largest rise in 10 years. Deposits in domestic bank offices rose $274.1 billion, or 3.8 percent. That showed confidence in the banking system and deposit insurance, Bair said. But she acknowledged that "the fourth quarter was a tough end to a tough year for the banking industry." The latest indications of financial distress came as the Obama administration proposed boosting the federal deficit by an additional $250 billion this year, enough to support as much as $750 billion in increased spending under the government's rescue program for banks and other financial institutions. That would more than double the $700 billion bank bailout passed by Congress last October that has provided aid to Citigroup Inc., Bank of America Corp. and hundreds more financial institutions of all sizes. The Office of Thrift Supervision, meanwhile, announced a loss of $3 billion in the fourth quarter and a record $13 billion annual loss for savings and loans last year. The agency, part of the Treasury Department, also said it is launching a new unit to monitor thrifts with more than $10 billion in assets. The new "large bank unit" will be working onsite at about 25 savings institutions. The OTS also will create new standards for reviewing enforcement actions on thrifts that do not meet minimum standards. Thrifts are important to consumer lending because they must have at least 65 percent of their lending in mortgages and other consumer loans. That also has made them especially vulnerable to the housing downturn: troubled assets now account for more than 2.5 percent of total thrift assets, up from nearly 1.7 percent a year ago. Two of the biggest bank failures in the nation's history occurred last year and involved thrifts, and some lawmakers have raised concerns about the OTS' oversight of the industry. Pasadena, Calif.-based IndyMac Bank collapsed in July and cost the federal deposit insurance fund nearly $9 billion, and Seattle-based Washington Mutual Inc. was the largest U.S. bank failure ever. WaMu fell in September, with around $307 billion in assets, and was acquired by JPMorgan Chase & Co. for $1.9 billion in a deal brokered by the FDIC. The FDIC now believes U.S. bank failures will cost the deposit insurance fund more than $40 billion over the next four years amid the ravages of rising unemployment and falling home prices that have sent loan defaults soaring. Fourteen federally-insured institutions already have failed this year, extending a wave of collapses that began in 2008 -- when regulators shut down 25 U.S. banks. Last year's tally was more than in the previous five years combined and up from only three bank failures in 2007. The failures sliced the amount in the deposit insurance fund to $18.9 billion as of Dec. 31, from $52.4 billion a year earlier. The FDIC on Friday will propose raising the insurance premiums paid by U.S. banks and thrifts. That will follow a plan to rebuild the deposit insurance fund put in place in October that increased average premiums to 13.5 cents for every $100 of banks' deposits from 6.3 cents. U.S. banks and thrifts in the third quarter suffered a 94 percent drop in profits to $1.7 billion, from $27 billion in the same period in 2007. The institutions wrote off $27.9 billion in loans as uncollectible during the July-September quarter. | 266dea86-cffa-5865-b210-755e2bda6a5d | 05/19/25 |

Castellanos opened the scoring in the second with his line-drive homer to right field. He was then part of the third-inning hit parade against Correia and reliever Anthony Swarzak. Hunter led off with a double and scored on a one-out single by Victor Martinez. After Austin Jackson doubled, Castellanos singled home Martinez. Correia then issued consecutive walks to Alex Avila and Andrew Romine to force in a run and end his outing. Davis greeted Swarzak with a bouncer to right and Avila scored on an Ian Kinsler infield hit before Hunter plated a pair with a single to cap the outburst. An RBI single by Miguel Cabrera made it 10-1 in the sixth. The Twins put up four runs in home half of the inning. Brian Dozier homered to left off Porcello, who was removed after Joe Mauer singled and Trevor Plouffe drew a walk. Justin Miller took over on the mound and gave up run-scoring hits to Chris Colabello and Kubel and Suzuki's second sac fly. Mauer reached on a two-out error in the seventh and scored on Plouffe's double. Minnesota threatened to close the gap further, but stranded men on the corners in the eighth. Game Notes Colabello set a club record for most RBI in April with 27 ... Avila left the game in the fifth with a left shin contusion. He was replaced at catcher by Bryan Holaday ... The Tigers were 11-8 against the Twins last season. | ee41651d-471d-54c5-aae9-568020ab5280 | 05/19/25 |

What matters to us is self-identified Satanists standing up and saying they have a place in the world so that the evangelical theocrats don't have a monopoly over what constitutes religious freedom. ___ AP: The Portland, Oregon chapter of the Satanic Temple is planning an open house for an "After School Satan" club in a Portland elementary school sometime next month. What can students, teachers and parents expect? Greaves: We're not interested in turning kids away from their Christian background. We really want this to be enriching. We're not going to proselytize or make ham-fisted religious tirades. Our curriculum does not contain items of religious opinion. It contains fun activities premised on critical thinking, reasoning skills and the scientific, rationalist view of the world. ___ AP: Doesn't sound very Satanic. Why call it an "After School Satan" club at all? Greaves: I'd say it sends a positive message that it's called the "After School Satan" club and that it's run by people who self-identify as Satanists. It's helpful for children to see that people can hold diametrically opposed religious points of view, but still be good, productive members of society, be non-criminal and friendly. ___ AP: Where's the Baphomet monument fight in Arkansas heading? Greaves: I think they'll deny the Satanist monument and allow the Ten Commandments. But the monument will have to come down because it's clearly preferencing one religious viewpoint over another. And the taxpayers will have to foot the bill. ___ AP: What else is on the horizon for the Satanic Temple? Greaves: We're trying not to spread ourselves too thin. There's a huge demand for starting chapters. We're doing the best we can to keep up with the interest without letting it get completely unmanageable. It's a balancing act. ... Hopefully, it'll get to the point where I feel I can write a book about what we're doing and why we're doing it — the things everybody always asks about. ___ Follow Philip Marcelo at https://twitter.com/philmarcelo.

This practice, called geoengineering, aims to reflect the sun’s radiation from the stratosphere back into space to minimize rising temperatures. The White House five-year plan was authorized by Congress this year and is being executed by the Office of Science and Technology Policy and the Department of Energy. Researchers are split on whether the risks of geoengineering outweigh the rewards, mostly due to a lack of information on the subject. BIDEN'S ENERGY SECRETARY TOOK MEETING WITH BILL GATES IMMEDIATELY AFTER SENATE CONFIRMATION Daniel Cohan, associate professor for civil and environmental engineering at Rice University, said there are more natural, safe and impactful ways to counter climate change than geoengineering. But he added that additional studies on the topic can reveal the exact magnitude of its cooling benefits and climate risks. "It seems likely that these techniques could be developed to offset much of the warming that is expected in the decades ahead," Cohan told Fox News Digital. "But how it would affect regional weather patterns is highly uncertain, and that’s likely where there would be huge winners and losers." This form of geoengineering involves aircraft releasing aerosols in the atmosphere where they can partially reflect the sun’s radiation. The White House project will not include flying planes but instead study potential impacts. The hypothesis has its roots in documented instances of volcanic eruptions leading to notable decreases in temperatures in the surrounding area. ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST MEGHAN MARKLE SEEN BOARDING PRIVATE JET FOLLOWING FEMALE EMPOWERMENT EVENT Harvard professor David Keith said there is a growing case for research efforts that explore the exact impact of geoengineering. "Use of geoengineering will never be ‘necessary ’— it’s a hard choice one on which people will have divergent views," Keith told Fox News Digital. "My hope is that the U.S. government comes out with a transparent, high-quality research plan that can advance knowledge in the public interest." Diana Furchtgott-Roth, the director of the Center on Energy, Climate, and Environment at the Heritage Foundation, said she is in full support of the White House’s research because an effective geoengineering model would be far more affordable than current efforts to counter climate change such as environmental regulations and renewable energy. "This has potentially very large benefits with a much smaller cost," Furchtgott-Roth told Fox News Digital. US PROPOSES MEASURES TO LIMIT METHANE LEAKS CAUSED BY OIL DRILLING The downside of geoengineering, several experts note, is that the released aerosols only impact a limited area and must be renewed at a rapid pace to continue a reflection of the sun. Potential risks included unintentionally cooling farms that need the sun to grow crops, as well as intensified storms. Benji Backer, the president of the American Conservation Coalition, said the Biden administration is better off focusing on more environmentally friendly policies.

The claim is being made in the bombshell book “Finding Freedom,” written by royal reporters Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand. Numerous palace insiders came forward to the two journalists and detailed what led to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s departure as senior members of the British royal family. The couple currently resides in Markle’s native California with their son Archie. On Wednesday, the U.K.’s DailyMail reported the 39-year-old was stunned when her estranged half-sister Samantha Markle began speaking out to tabloids when they allegedly had “only bumped into each other twice” since they were children. In the book, a confidant accused Samantha of trying to pretend the pair were much closer than they really were.

She barely saw her.” The former American actress was apparently “weirded out” when Samantha attempted to deliver a letter to Kensington Palace demanding a face-to-face meeting. According to the outlet, the letter was dropped off at the wrong security gate. But it wasn’t just Samantha who left the Duchess of Sussex bewildered. Her estranged half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr., previously wrote an open letter to Harry, 35, claiming the couple was not a good fit. He also accused Markle of leaving their father, former Hollywood lighting director Thomas Markle, “forgotten, alone and bankrupt.” The siblings also complained to the press that they weren’t invited to the royal wedding.

According to the outlet, Harry himself couldn’t believe how “badly” Markle’s relatives, especially “problem” Samantha and father Thomas, have behaved after giving numerous interviews, accusing Markle of abandoning her family. The book alleged Markle asked her father “more than once” to nip Samantha’s interviews in the bud. The sibling allegedly responded: “All Meghan needs to do is contact me herself to put an end to it.” While it was initially reported that Harry and Markle cooperated with the authors, reps for the couple have since confirmed to Fox News that they played no part in the tell-all. MEGHAN MARKLE’S FAITH IN GOD GOT HER THROUGH THE ‘DARKEST MOMENTS’ OF HER LIFE, BOOK CLAIMS MEGHAN MARKLE REVEALS SHE’S VOTING IN 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, BREAKING ROYAL FAMILY TRADITION “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not interviewed and did not contribute to ‘Finding Freedom,’” said the statement. “This book is based on the authors’ own experiences as members of the royal press corps and heir own independent reporting.” According to the book’s description, “Finding Freedom” aims to set the record straight about the royal couple. “For the very first time, ‘Finding Freedom’ goes beyond the headlines to reveal unknown details of Harry and Meghan’s life together, dispelling the many rumors and misconceptions that plague the couple on both sides of the pond,” read the book's description. “As members of the select group of reporters that cover the British Royal Family and their engagements, Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand have witnessed the young couple’s lives as few outsiders can.” “With unique access and written with the participation of those closest to the couple, ‘Finding Freedom’ is an honest, up-close, and disarming portrait of a confident, influential, and forward-thinking couple who are unafraid to break with tradition, determined to create a new path away from the spotlight, and dedicate to building a humanitarian legacy that will make a profound difference in the world,” the description added. PRINCESS DIANA WOULD'VE MADE PRINCE HARRY, PRINCE WILLIAM 'WORK THROUGH THEIR ISSUES', AUTHOR CLAIMS MEGHAN MARKLE BELIEVED PRINCESS MICHAEL OF KENT’S RACIST BROOCH WAS SENDING A MESSAGE, BOOK CLAIMS In a statement sent to Fox News, the book publisher revealed Scobie is a London-based writer, royal editor for Harper’s Bazaar, an ABC News contributor, “Good Morning America” regular and host of ABC’s popular royal podcast, “The Heir Pod.” Durand is an Emmy Award-winning producer and writer who has spent nearly two decades working in London covering Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace, Clarence House and other major international events. During that time, she produced multiple interviews with members of the royal family including Harry. She contributes to O, The Oprah Magazine, Elle magazine and other American and British news outlets. “The aim of this book is to portray the real Harry and Meghan, a couple who continue to inspire many around the world through their humanitarian and charitable work but are often inaccurately portrayed," they wrote in a statement. "Our mission has been motivated by a desire to tell an accurate version of their journey and finally present the truth of misreported stories that have become gospel simply because of the amount of times they have been repeated. It is thanks to our sources that we have been able to share the definitive story of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex." “Finding Freedom" is currently available in bookstores and online. | 9e492dce-eedb-57a1-ab97-256a15dd15cf | 05/19/25 |

Rooms start at $75 a night, and the place is ranked fifth out of 233 Jamaica properties on TripAdvisor.</p> <!-- --> <div class="article-meta"><!-- --></div></div> | Some of the worst war-torn regions of the 20th century have made miraculous recoveries, transforming from places of carnage and decimation to hubs for comfort and fun. Here are some countries that you’ll now find in guidebooks as well as history books. Just keep in mind that many of them are poor, so it’s smart to practice the safety measures you’d take anywhere. 1. Colombia Colombia is infamous for hosting the world’s longest continuous civil war (1948 – present) and for its deadly narco-trade battles, but the country’s efforts to bring back security have paid off. Under the guidance of ProColombia, a government agency that promotes investment, exports and tourism, Colombia’s economy is growing, and tourism is booming. Last year the country welcomed 1.9 million visitors — more than twice as many in 2005. Travelers are being lured by Colombia’s natural beauty, including the Amazon jungle, tropical beaches and the high peaks of the Andes. Also, urban hubs like colonial-era Cartagena and a remodeled Medellin (once considered the world’s most dangerous city) have hip restaurants, cool hotels and an authentic feel. Don’t Want to Go Solo? Intrepid Travel runs an eight-day Café Colombia tour that takes groups to the heart of the Colombian highlands, where they learn the art of growing and brewing some of the world’s best coffee. 2. South Africa More than two decades after apartheid ended in South Africa, the healing process still isn’t complete, says South African native and travel expert Erik Brits. But the country that once saw regular violence is at peace and economically stable — and tourism is booming. There are more than 100 safari tour operators specializing in sightings of Africa’s Big 5 — Cape buffaloes, elephants, leopards, lions and rhinos. The country is also home to the world’s highest commercial natural bungee jump, best-in-class surf breaks and the Drakensberg Mountains, home of South Africa’s only ski resort. Relax Where Mandela Did: In 2015 the Shambala Game Reserve reopened the Nelson Mandela Centre for Reconciliation, where the former president vacationed and held important peacekeeping meetings. The six-bedroom house is available to travelers willing to pay $5,741 per night. 3. Nicaragua From Anastasio Somoza’s nightmarish 36-year dictatorship to the Sandinista Revolution and the subsequent Contra War, Central America’s largest country has had more than its fair share of civil unrest in the last 40 years. But Nicaragua’s troubled past didn’t stop the New York Times from ranking it third on its list of 46 Places to Go in 2013. Nicaragua’s Pacific Coast beaches are as beautiful and abundant as neighboring Costa Rica’s, but they’re far less crowded. And best of all, everything is cheaper (think beers for $2 and hotel stays for under $100). Travelers can find an entirely different culture on the country’s Caribbean coast or head inland to explore the colonial streets of Granada and Lake Nicaragua, where nearby Laguna de Apoya, a former volcano, is now a popular swimming hole. Easier to Reach Than Ever: The Costa Esmeralda Airport, scheduled to open in November, will be a game-changer for accessing the Pacific playground, which has never had a public airport. Instead of taking a 2.5-hour taxi drive, travelers will be able to fly directly from Managua to Rivas attractions like Mukul, Nicaragua’s first luxury resort. 4. Northern Ireland Fighting between the Irish Republican Army and the Ulster Freedom Fighters lasted from 1968 until the 1990s, but peace prevails today — though you should be careful about what you say, and never mention the old times. Northern Ireland has much of the same stunning scenery as its southern counterpart, The Republic of Ireland, but it is part of the United Kingdom and belongs to the European Union. It boasts the rough-around-the-edges Belfast, epic road-tripping along the Causeway Coastal Route, the historic walled city of Londonderry and even the gravesite of St. Patrick at Down Cathedral. Live it Up at Lough Erne: Before it was voted Northern Ireland’s Hotel of the Year in 2014, Lough Erne Resort hosted the last G8 Summit in 2013. The five-star property features the Faldo Championship Golf Course, a resident game angling instructor, helicopter tours, a Thai spa and an exclusive Irish whiskey tasting experience. 5. Rwanda Rwanda, where an estimated 1 million people were killed in the 1994 genocide, has evolved into an African success story over the past decade. An economic leader and tech hub, it drew 1.2 million visitors last year. Many come to this Central African country to catch a glimpse of the 400 silverback gorillas — more than half the world’s population — at Volcanoes National Park. Travelers also visit Nyungwe Forest National Park, which encourages foreigners to climb 300 feet above the rainforest in a one-of-a-kind suspended canopy walk. For dining and shopping, travelers can head to Rwanda’s remarkably clean and safe (imagine Singapore) capital city of Kigali, which is home to the Kigali Genocide Memorial — named by TripAdvisor as one of Africa’s top 25 landmarks. But the biggest takeaway is the ubiquitous smile of the friendly locals. If Time Allows, Experience Tribal Life: While a gorilla trek and exploring Kigali are musts, Immersion Journeys recommends fitting in a visit to the border Rwanda shares with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it’s possible to visit the Batwa tribe of Pygmies. 6. Croatia Beautiful and extremely affordable, Croatia is one of Europe’s most underrated vacation destinations. Between the Croatian War of Independence from 1991 to 1995 and the simultaneous neighboring Bosnian War, it continues to struggle with its image, but locals are getting used to seeing foreigners who are attracted to the country’s Adriatic islands and 3,600 miles of turquoise waterfront. Nestled in the more mountainous interior, the capital city of Zagreb offers a lively arts and culture scene. In the winter, travelers can be skiing and snowboarding on the slopes of Medvednica and minutes later find themselves dining on Croatian cuisine in downtown Zagreb. Five-Star Service for More than 100 Years: Dubrovnik’s five-star Hotel Excelsior has served as one of the coastal city’s most sophisticated and luxurious institutions since 1913. Still perched on the same cliff, the property remained open even during the height of both World Wars and the conflicts of the 1990s. 7. Armenia Armenia is no stranger to disorder. Its capital, Yerevan, changed hands more than a dozen times between 1512 and 1735. But it was the horrors of the Armenian Genocide that occurred between 1915 and 1918 that people remember most.

Get to Know the Neighbors: MIR’s 15-day Treasures of the South Caucus tour includes the best sightseeing in Armenia as well stops in the bordering and equally elusive countries of Georgia and Azerbaijan. 8. Burma Burma, also known as Myanmar, was accused of mass humanitarian and civil rights abuses when it was ruled by a military junta between 1962 and 2011. But since the U.S. stabilized relations with the country in 2012 after new leaders promised democratic reform, the predominately Buddhist nation has become one of Southeast Asia’s most sought-after destinations.

A huge and potentially record-breaking haul of crustaceans in Maine and Canada this year has caused a market glut and a crash in wholesale prices. Fearing for their livelihood, Canadian fishermen in the past few days have angrily blocked truckloads of Maine lobsters from being delivered to processing plants in Canada that turn out lobster products for U.S. supermarkets and restaurants. Unless something is done to prop up the price of lobster, "we'll go down the hole," warned Eugene Robichaud, a fisherman in Richibucto, New Brunswick. The blockades have brought Canada's lobster-processing industry to a near-standstill, put thousands of employees out of work, sent shockwaves through Maine's lobster industry and led to calls for Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to intervene. Portland lobsterman Greg Griffin said he has been getting a paltry $2.35 a pound for his catch, a dollar less than a year ago, and he fears the blockade could drag prices down even more. "At what point is going out and bringing in lobster no longer viable?" he asked. The dispute isn't expected to have any immediate effect on lobster prices in the United States. National restaurant chains such as Red Lobster that buy processed lobster typically make their purchases and determine their menu prices far in advance. But the troubles shine a light on the workings of the lobster business in North America's cold northern waters, and the way Maine's industry and Canada's depend on each other. While much of the catch from both countries is sold live, a big share is canned, turned into frozen lobster tails or otherwise packaged. An estimated 35 to 50 percent of Maine's annual catch is shipped to Canadian processors. Canada has more than two dozen lobster processors, about half of them in New Brunswick. Maine has only three plants of any size, and they handle only a fraction of what is processed in Canada. In recent years, the lobster industry has been suffering from too much of a good thing: The combined harvest for the two countries jumped from about 150 million pounds in 1992 to more than 257 million pounds by 2010, the latest year for which complete statistics are available. By all accounts, the 2011 haul was even larger — Maine's catch alone topped 104 million pounds — and this year's could set a record. Because of so much lobster on the market, fishermen have been getting barely enough to cover fuel, bait, boat payments and other expenses. "If the price is too low, I'm going to have to pay to go fish," said lobsterman Maurice Martin of Richibucto. Last week, hundreds of Canadian lobstermen stormed several processing plants in New Brunswick and surrounded trucks making deliveries from Maine. Blaming Maine for the low prices, they demanded that processors stop accepting Maine lobsters. The protests spilled over to Prince Edward Island and to other plants in New Brunswick, and by Wednesday every processor in New Brunswick had shut down operations, said New Brunswick Fisheries Minister Michael Olscamp. On Thursday, a New Brunswick judge granted a 10-day injunction barring lobstermen from blocking the plants across the province. During the blockades, lobstermen held up "No More U.S. Lobster" signs and threw Maine lobster to the ground, calling it "garbage." About 100 lobstermen also went to the federal fishery minister's office in Fredericton, hurling large metal lobster traps into the reception area. While processors have agreed to pay a minimum of $2.50 to $3 a pound for their catch, the Canadian lobstermen are demanding $4. Olscamp said he told the lobstermen that prices are set by the free market, not by the government. And he warned that they could end up "cutting their own throats" by shutting down the processors. "I've tried to explain to them they're going to be the architects of their own demise and it won't be just them, it'll be the processing plants," the fisheries minister said. "Whether that fell on deaf ears, I don't know." New Brunswick Premier David Alward said his province and Maine have a great history of trade but the protests have become a major irritant. "It's very unfortunate and unacceptable what these fishermen have done," Alward said in a telephone interview. "I hope to and expect to see a more reasonable flow of lobster moving forward in the coming days." Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, wrote a letter Wednesday urging Clinton to investigate and raise the issue with the Canadian minister of foreign affairs. A Clinton spokeswoman said that she was not aware of the letter and that the secretary of state was traveling. ___ Associated Press Writer Rob Gillies in Toronto contributed to this report. | c7ddfa22-a415-5712-b21c-08694092de4d | 05/19/25 |

Martin County officials have decided they will not levy $1,000 daily fines against the Flash Beach Grille restaurant for violating a decades' old, unrecorded environmental property restriction. Never mind the local government's beef stemmed from its own mistake, or that enforcing the fines was probably against state law. Robert and Anita Breinig, the restaurant's owners, can now move forward with their business, and their lives. That's no small thing for a couple with 17 years of sweat in the food service industry who risked everything to buy their restaurant building. "Last year, Martin County threatened to ruin our dream of owning and running a restaurant on our own piece of property," Robert Breinig said after county officials finally backed off this week. "Five hundred dollars a day would put me out of business in a week," Breinig told Watchdog in September while explaining Hobe Sound's seasonal economy. In 1990, local officials placed a 40-by-70-foot conservation easement on the lot. But the county failed to record it and decided to hold the Breinig's accountable when a code inspector stumbled onto the restriction during a routine inspection for a liquor license. "I was flabbergasted," Breinig said. Click for more from Watchdog.org. | 1b428af7-a28f-5409-935a-50824f94a086 | 05/19/25 |

After significant pushback, Rutherford County Schools is allowing parents to tune in with permission from the teacher but they can't record the classes. TRUMP DESIGNATES TEACHERS ESSENTIAL WORKERS IN PUSH TO REOPEN SCHOOLS "It's ridiculous. It's so hypocritical because they've been data mining our children for years, compliments of common core," Laurie Cardoza-Moore, founder of Proclaiming Justice to the Nations, said on "Fox & Friends Weekend" Saturday. "What are they trying to hide? What is the problem? Why won't they let us sit in?" the homeschool mom of five asked. "Obviously, because they are teaching our children propaganda that they should not be teaching," she said. "They are trying to socialize our children." She added: "We have had a major problem in education, not just here in Tennessee, but across the country where they are indoctrinating our children with propaganda." TWITTER CEO DONATES $10M TO 'ANTI-RACIST' PROFESSOR WHO SEEKS CENSORSHIP OF POLITICIANS' 'IDEAS' Cardoza-Moore questioned why the school would encourage parents to snitch on one another and what would happen if a parent violates the waiver. "Does that mean somebody from the school district is going to knock on my door and pull my kid out of my home, his virtual classroom?" she asked. "Or is it going to be my tax dollars that fund my child's public education, my child won't get to participate in education because of it?" The school district responded in a statement to Fox News. "We are aware of the concern that has been raised about this distance-learning letter that was sent to parents," James Evans, communications director for Rutherford County Schools, said. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Evans added: "We have issued new guidance to principles that parents can assist their children during virtual group lessons with permission of the instructor but should refrain from sharing or recordings any information about other students in the classroom." Cardoza-Moore said this is because teachers are pushing "social justice" instead of reading, writing and math, and they don't want to be held accountable to the parents. | 02fc7cc8-9c5a-5c5a-8b5f-dd80baf71688 | 05/19/25 |

The setting is familiar for the five-time All Star. The way the Phillies are slumping at the plate is not. Utley's return is needed in the worst way for the offensively inept Phillies. Matt Harrison took a five-hitter into the ninth inning and helped the Texas Rangers avoid a three-game sweep with a 2-0 win over Philadelphia on Sunday. It was so bad that slugger Ryan Howard tried to bunt for a hit in the ninth. "We're going to hit, we're going to hit better," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "We're going to bottom out one of these days. Hopefully, it was today." The Phillies were shut out for the fourth time this season. The Phillies had eight hits on Saturday, snapping a streak of seven straight games with six or less. The NL East leaders had five on Sunday. Utley will be activated off the 15-day disabled list before Monday's game against Cincinnati. He hasn't played this season because of tendinitis in his right knee. The Phillies also have center fielder Shane Victorino on the DL with a hamstring injury. "Once we get Chase and Victorino back in there, our lineup's going to be much better," Manuel said. For now, that's wishful thinking. Utley said after his rehab games he was feeling great, but there are no guarantees he's totally healthy and ready to give the Phillies that instant jolt of offense they need. Not even a solid outing by Roy Oswalt (3-2) could save them against the Rangers. Oswalt lost for the first time (10-1) at Citizens Bank Park. He was 6-0 in eight starts with the Phillies. He struck out three and walked two. Oswalt said he couldn't change his approach when the offense is slumping. "You've just got to hit your spots a little bit better," Oswalt said. "You've got to kind of dance of between raindrops out there. You can't give up too many hits in one inning." Harrison (4-4) was hardly dazzling. He struck out three, walked three and threw 117 pitches in his longest outing of the season, finishing two outs shy of his first shutout since 2009.

"I knew with Oswalt pitching, it would be a close game, so I wanted to give the team a chance to win," Harrison said. "It's good to finally have a win. It seems like it's been two months. This is a real confidence booster for me." Harrison fanned Howard to open the ninth, but was lifted after he walked Ben Francisco. Neftali Feliz got two outs for his ninth save. Mitch Moreland had an RBI double off Oswalt and Craig Gentry added a suicide squeeze. "The plane ride will be a lot better," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "I hope this will be a momentum swing for us." The Rangers should get a boost Monday, too: Josh Hamilton and Nelson Cruz should be activated off the DL in time for Monday's home game against the Chicago White Sox. Both were expected to play Sunday for Triple-A Round Rock in the final game of their minor league rehab assignments. Texas touched Oswalt for eight hits and broke through for a run in the sixth. Michael Young singled to right and advanced to second on a grounder. Moreland drove the ball the opposite way off the left-field wall for a run-scoring double. He was left there when shortstop Jimmy Rollins made a nice grab in the hole to throw out Harrison and end the inning. The Rangers made it 2-0 in the eighth when Gentry's suicide squeeze scored Adrian Beltre, who had doubled. The Phillies are in a funk and they'll need more than Utley's return to spark the offense.

The Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office said they arrested Michael Macinnis, 45, on Jan. 3 on multiple felony charges, including allegedly selling a dead man’s 2005 Chevy Tahoe by forging documents to make it appear he was the legal owner. Investigators said that Macinnis illegally moved into the unidentified dead man’s Cordes Lakes home in May 2023 and had been "squatting" in the home while allegedly forging car documents "to make it appear he was the estate’s personal representative," the sheriff’s office said in a Thursday press release.

Instead, the Houston Texans will head to Arizona for a Week 10 matchup with the Cardinals with the image of something far frightening in their heads than a jarring hit or an agonizing loss. Houston coach Gary Kubiak was hospitalized following what doctor's termed a "mini-stroke" as he jogged from the sidelines toward the locker room at halftime of the team's 27-24 home loss to Indianapolis on Sunday night. Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips has been named interim coach in Kubiak's absence, which is indefinite. Kubiak, a former NFL player, left the hospital Tuesday and anticipates a full recovery, but he's not at all certain of a return anytime soon. "I've been through an ordeal and my focus now is to get back to good health," Kubiak said. The loss to the Colts came after Houston had built a 21-3 lead and seemed poised to end a prolonged losing streak which instead has reached a franchise- record six games. The team's 2-0 start to the season - which included wins over San Diego and Tennessee - seems a century ago and the two-year stranglehold Houston has had on the AFC's South Division appears all but complete as well. "It's been frustrating, especially after the past two seasons and the expectations," receiver Andre Johnson said. "But if you don't go out and play the way you're supposed to play you're not going to win. And we didn't do that so that's why we haven't been winning. Somehow some way we've got to go out and fix the mistakes we've been making and try to win a game." Johnson failed to score in the team's first seven games and exceeded 100 yards just twice before catching three TD passes from QB Case Keenum in the loss to the Colts and ending up with nine receptions for 229 yards. Keenum started once when former No. 1 Matt Schaub was injured, then maintained the starter's role over Schaub thanks to a decision made by Kubiak. He's thrown for four TDs and 621 yards and not been intercepted in his two-game stint. His arsenal is in question, however, after running back Arian Foster left the Colts game with a back injury after the opening possession. A game earlier, Foster was limited by a hamstring injury and ran just four times for 11 yards against Kansas City. Foster is listed as questionable this week, while backup Ben Tate is probable with a rib injury he sustained while running 22 times for 81 yards in Indianapolis. "I'm just going through grinding trying to do the best to my ability," Tate said. The Cardinals seemed a perfect matchup for a run-heavy Texans team after allowing nearly 300 combined ground yards to San Francisco and Seattle, but Arizona tightened its belt and held Atlanta to only 27 yards in a 27-13 defeat before last week's bye. "We take a short-term look at long goals and then get back to the process of making sure we win this Sunday and forget about adding things up," coach Bruce Arians said. "We'll add them up in late December." The Cardinals also ran a little bit themselves against Atlanta, with rookie Andre Ellington going for 154 yards in 15 carries - including an 80-yard TD - as part of a composite 201-yard team effort. Ellington has averaged 7.7 yards per carry thus far and will share the load if feature back Rashard Mendenhall, who missed the Atlanta game with an injured toe, is back. Mendenhall is listed as questionable for Sunday. Mendenhall has scored three times, but not rushed for more than 66 yards in a game. In two career meetings with Houston, he's run for 53 yards and scored once on 19 carries. "You want to have that one-two punch," Arians said. "Andre's kind of got his role cut out. We'd like to, as I said last week, hopefully get him into space a couple of more times in the ball game." WHAT TO WATCH FOR Unleash the beast. Because the running backs - Foster and Tate - are both hobbled, it seems a perfectly logical time for interim coach Phillips to take the wraps off the team's newest quarterbacking toy. Keenum threw effectively down the field and made plays with his legs early on against the Colts, and it'll be interesting to see what he does in that mindset for 60 minutes. Rotate the runners. Because Ellington is a home-run threat each time he carries the ball and Mendenhall is more of a bruiser, Arians has the luxury of being able to play his strengths in terms of when each man is used.

Mevlut Cavusoglu told NTV television on Thursday that Greek authorities had established that the navy and land forces colonels had left Greece for Italy aboard a ferry on Aug. 6 together with their families. He said one of the colonels had a brother in the Netherlands and that both Italy and the Netherlands had been notified. Asked about reports that a Turkish military official based in the United States was seeking asylum there, Cavusoglu said Turkey had asked for information from Washington but had not yet received a response. He repeated, however, a Turkish demand that the United States extradite U.S.-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, whom Turkey accuses of masterminding the July 15 coup attempt that killed at least 270 people. ___ 12:20 p.m. Turkey's state-run news agency says a Turkish naval officer working in the United States has gone missing and has failed to report back home following a failed coup by renegade officers within the Turkish military. The Anadolu Agency, citing an official at the Turkish embassy in Washington, says Navy Rear Admiral Mustafa Ugurlu had left his ID and badges at his base on July 22 and has not been heard from since. Turkish officials could not confirm reports that Ugurlu was seeking asylum in the United States. The U.S. State Department said it does not comment on or handle asylum cases. The issue could complicate US-Turkish ties. Ankara is already pressing Washington to extradite U.S.-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, who it accuses of orchestrating the coup. Gulen denies involvement. | 5dfba770-630c-51d2-abf1-aa9b706dfcda | 05/19/25 |

Residents of the island's west end, which was severely damaged by Ike, were allowed to begin visiting their homes Monday, but they will not be allowed to live in them until their power and water services are restored. About one-third of customers in the Houston area remained without electricity Monday. Entergy Texas, which serves much of Southeast Texas, said it expected to have electric service restored to its hardest-hit areas by Sunday — a week sooner than previously forecasted. American Red Cross officials said only about 7,600 evacuees remain in shelters around the state. That's down from a peak of more than 40,000 in the days after Hurricane Ike came ashore. But the relief agency said Monday it isn't sure how long Texas operations will last. "I can tell you we won't be measuring this operation in weeks," said Joe Becker, senior vice president of disaster services for the Red Cross. "We will be measuring this operation in months." Gov. Rick Perry on Monday encouraged Texans to donate to the Texas Disaster Relief Fund to help communities slammed by Hurricane Ike. The Legislature has not given a significant amount of money to the state disaster relief fund in years, and the private fund was developed as an alternative after Hurricane Rita in 2005. | d5f4f137-529a-5b82-aa8b-832a4f9bf690 | 05/19/25 |

Ambassador Wang Yajun reportedly arrived in North Korea on Monday to begin his term of office in Pyongyang. China is among a small group of North Korean allies with fully functioning foreign missions in the country. SOUTH KOREAN PRESIDENT: 'I WILL MAKE SURE NORTH KOREA PAYS THE PRICE FOR ITS RECKLESS PROVOCATIONS' "As agreed between China and the DPRK, the new Chinese Ambassador to the DPRK Wang Yajun arrived in the DPRK on March 27 to assume office," said Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Mao Ning. She made the remarks at a Tuesday press conference in Beijing. Mao emphasized the "friendly" relationship between the two communist countries – few other nations have autonomous embassies or consulates within North Korea. FORCING NORTH KOREA TO 'DISMANTLE ITS NUKES' WOULD BE A 'DECLARATION OF WAR' "China and the DPRK are friendly neighbors linked by mountains and rivers," Mao said. "In recent years, under the strategic guidance of the top leaders of the two parties and the two countries, China-DPRK relations have entered a new historical period and kept making new progress." China is often cited as North Korea's strongest ally and a key protector of the controversial, increasingly nuclear-capable nation. US AND ITS PARTNERS STAGE WARFARE DRILLS AS JAPAN, SOUTH KOREA STRENGTHEN ALLIANCE AGAINST CHINA, NORTH KOREA "We believe that with his assumption of office, Ambassador Wang Yajun will play an important role in advancing the traditional friendship and cooperation between China and the DPRK," Mao concluded. China's friendship will most likely prove valuable as North Korea faces escalating tensions with South Korea and the United States. South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol promised last week to punish North Korea for the communist nation's recent series of "provocations." US-SOUTH KOREA DRILLS DETER NORTH KOREA, PENTAGON CLAIMS HOURS AFTER NORTH KOREA LAUNCHES ICBM "North Korea is advancing its nuclear weapons day by day and conducting missile provocations with unprecedented intensity," said Yoon. He continued, "The South Korean government and military will drastically strengthen our three-axis system in the face of North Korea's nuclear and missile advancements and provocations, and will further solidify security cooperation with the United States and also trilaterally with the United States and Japan."

In November, Aaron Carter was found dead in a bathtub in his California home. He was 34. Earlier this week, Jane Carter shared a series of photos of the bathroom where Aaron's body was found to her Facebook page. Along with the photos she wrote, "Still trying to get a real investigation for the death of my son Aaron Carter. I want to share these death scene photos with you all because the coroner wrote it off as an accidental drug overdose." "They never investigated it as a possible crime scene because of his addiction past. Look at the photos. They were not taken by the police. But they allowed people to go in and out. Although a lot of potential homicide information was there for years. Aaron had a lot of death threats and many many people who were making his life miserable" CELEBRITIES REACT TO DEATH OF SINGER-ACTOR AARON CARTER The grisly photos show the bathtub where Aaron was found, still filled with water tinged green, seemingly from the decomposition, as well as towels and clothes laid across a messy floor. Jane has made several Facebook posts about Aaron over the past few days, begging officials to take her concerns seriously. BACKSTREET BOYS HONOR AARON CARTER AT LONDON CONCERT, BROTHER NICK BREAKS DOWN AFTER EMOTIONAL TRIBUTE "I’m totally supported by the family and friends who know I had to post the awful photos," she wrote. "It’s because we are not and have not been taken seriously by Law Enforcement in especially Lancaster Ca. They allowed everyone to tromp through what should have been at least an investigation." "Because of my son’s mental illness and prescription drug issues they just wanted it to be something easy that they didn’t have the time or inclination to address. This won’t work for me or Melanie [his fiancée] or anyone who truly loved him." She continued, "We want answers. We want justice. There are people who must be held accountable." Jane wrote that she's "not backing off" from this, and that all she wants is "a proper investigation." AARON CARTER EXPLAINS HIS FACE TATTOO, SAYS HIS MOM INSPIRED IT She admitted that Aaron "had a lot of issues," but said "he never intended to die that way." While Jane conceded that there will be some people who just think she's in denial of Aaron's problems, she clarified, "I’m saying that even if he was doing it somebody had a plan to use his addiction to eliminate him. That’s no excuse for a murder." After the photos she shared had begun making the rounds, Jane subsequently announced that a detective is now looking further into Aaron's death. "I’m sorry that I had to post those awful photos in order to wake everyone up," she wrote. "I didn’t want to. But it worked. Unfortunately that beautiful person is gone forever.

The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.</p><p>For the week of May 9-15, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: "American Idol" (Wednesday), FOX, 26.6 million; "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," CBS, 26.5 million; "Desperate Housewives," ABC, 25.3 million; "American Idol" (Tuesday), FOX, 24.7 million; "Survival: Palau" (Finale), CBS, 20.8 million; "CSI: Miami," CBS, 20.0 million; "Everybody Loves Raymond," CBS, 19.8 million; "Survivor: Palau," CBS, 19.7 million; "Without a Trace," CBS, 18.9 million; "House," FOX, 18.8 million.</p> <!-- --> <!-- --></div> | It was another winning week for CBS (search), which dominated the ratings with six of the top 10 shows — while conspiring with FOX and ABC to shut out NBC. The top program was FOX's "American Idol" (search) Wednesday edition. That network's quirky medical drama, "House," had a healthy 10th-place showing. In between, CBS claimed the second-place "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," as well as both the finale and next-to-last edition of "Survivor: Palau," plus "CSI: Miami," "Everybody Loves Raymond" and "Without a Trace." ABC's red-hot "Desperate Housewives" beat the "Survivor" finale in their shared Sunday time slot to take third-place for the week, Nielsen Media Research reported. NBC's most-viewed program was "E.R.," in 13th place, and it logged only three shows in the Top 20. "Revelations," the apocalyptic six-week miniseries, was fading as it faced the end: After attracting 15.6 million viewers for its April 13 premiere, its penultimate installment drew only 8.4 million, ranking 44th. Clearly on top overall last week, CBS averaged 14.8 million viewers (9.3 household rating, 16 share). FOX was a distant second with 9.3 million viewers (5.8 rating, 10 share). ABC had 9.11 million (6.0 rating, 10 share), and NBC was close behind with 9.08 million (6.2 rating, 10 share). UPN had 3.8 million viewers (2.4 rating, 4 share), the WB had 3.3 million viewers (2.2 rating, 4 share), and Pax TV had 520,000 (0.4 rating, 1 share). NBC's "Nightly News" decisively won the evening news ratings race, averaging 8.8 million viewers (6.4 rating, 13 share). ABC's "World News Tonight" had 8.0 million (5.7 rating, 12 share), while the "CBS Evening News" had 6.5 million (4.7 rating, 10 share). A ratings point represents 1,096,000 households, or 1 percent of the nation's estimated 109.6 million TV homes. The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.

The last 10 races have produced 10 different winners. Veteran superstars Jeff Gordon, Carl Edwards and Kyle Busch could all miss the Chase for the Sprint Cup. In fact, it’s a virtual certainty that two of those three will miss it. Five-time Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson has an impressive three victories and 11 top-five finishes, but he also has four DNFs. Defending and three-time champion Tony Stewart has been all over the map, winning three races and finishing 22nd or worse seven times. Denny Hamlin, who was expected to contend for a championship, won two races early but has finished 20th or worse in eight of 23 races run so far. Kevin Harvick, another expected title contender, hasn’t finished better than eighth in his last 10 races. Dale Earnhardt Jr. has had a breakout season, but has been up and down lately, finishing fourth four times in the last eight races, but 15th or worse in the other four. Matt Kenseth is a lame duck at Roush Fenway Racing, and Penske Racing, where Brad Keselowski drives, is in its last year with Dodge. The Michael Waltrip Toyotas of Martin Truex Jr. and Clint Bowyer have been consistently in the top 10, but have only one race victory between them. Which brings us to Greg Biffle. Quietly, the 41-year-old Vancouver, Wash., native has led the Cup points standings for half the season, never once falling below fourth. In the last five races, Biffle has one victory, two top fives and an average finish of 6.80. And Biffle thinks he’s ready to at long last become the first driver in NASCAR history to win championships in all three top divisions. “Well, I know that a lot of people don’t expect us to win the championship and don’t expect us to compete for the title but I don’t care what they say or who they want to talk about or what they want to talk about,” Biffle said after winning last week in Michigan. “We will be a factor when it comes down to Homestead.

Heiskanen scored two goals, helping the Stars beat the Nashville Predators 3-2 on Wednesday night in Game 1 of their first-round Western Conference series. He became the third teenage defenseman in NHL history with two goals in a playoff game, joining Phil Housley and Glen Wesley. He also became the eighth rookie teenage defenseman in NHL history and fifth-youngest with a goal in their first career playoff game, and first since Adam Larsson with New Jersey on May 1, 2012, against Philadelphia, according to NHL Stats. Heiskanen also became the youngest in franchise history with a postseason goal at 19 years, 266 days. He said he was trying to treat the game like any other. "It went in," Heiskanen said of his goals. "I think Rads (Alexander Radulov) tipped the other one and was great goals and yeah, I just try to shoot it, shoot at the net." First-year Dallas coach Jim Montgomery has run out of words to praise the rookie. "Just like I've said all year, I'm glad we have him," Montgomery said. Mats Zuccarello also scored, helping Dallas continue its success from the regular season in Nashville, where the Stars won twice. Roman Josi and P.K. Subban each scored for Nashville. Game 2 of the best-of-seven series is Saturday night in Nashville. Subban pulled the Predators within a goal with 6:36 left in regulation, beating Ben Bishop's glove with a wrister from the right circle. Nashville got a power play with 4:52 remaining, and coach Peter Laviolette pulled goalie Pekka Rinne with 3:13 left. The Predators couldn't force overtime. "We lost our way, we lost the game," Laviolette said. "There's nothing encouraging about tonight. We know we're capable of playing at high speed with high gears and competitiveness. Like I said, it went their way." The Predators came in with much more playoff experience after reaching the 2017 Stanley Cup Final and going a full seven games last spring before losing in the second round. The postseason party started as usual with at least one catfish tossed onto the ice and fans who couldn't get into the sold-out Bridgestone Arena watching outside at the park across the street. This is the first time these Central Division rivals have met in the postseason, timely with Nashville scheduled to play Dallas in the Winter Classic in the Cotton Bowl next season. The Predators came into the playoffs having won five of their last six to win their second straight division title with a win on the final night of the season. Dallas finished 5-1-1 to grab the first wild card in the West for the Stars' first playoff berth since 2016. The Stars went with Bishop after he posted a career-high seven shutouts during the regular season. He also led the NHL with a .934 save percentage and was second in the league with a 1.98 goals-against average. He made 30 saves for this win. "Let's not forget how good Bishop was," Montgomery said. "I mean that first period, they controlled every part of the game except for the one power play we had, and Bishop kept us in. It could've been 4-nothing." Josi gave the Predators a 1-0 lead with a backhander from the slot as he skated across at 12:12 of the first. Nashville forward Brian Boyle, acquired from New Jersey in a trade Feb. 6, sent Stars center Jason Dickinson to the locker room after a collision about 9 minutes into the first. Dickinson returned in the second. Heiskanen tied it at 12:37 of the second with the puck deflecting off the knee of Predators defenseman Mattias Ekholm. Dallas nearly took the lead off a shot by Roope Hintz with Dickinson following, only to see Rinne stop the puck on the line with the back of his skate 15:00 into the second. The rookie defenseman scored his second at 6:10 of the third with a similar long shot that beat Rinne with Radulov in front of the goalie. "What a game," Dallas captain Jamie Benn said of Heiskanen. "The kid comes to play every night, prepares like a true professional, approaches the game like a true professional. He played a pretty damn good game tonight." Zuccarello padded the lead off a rebound, beating Rinne between the legs at 10:39. "This series started, and we got to make sure we are ready for the Game 2," Rinne said.

This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated. Watch "The O'Reilly Factor" weeknights at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET! O'REILLY: "Factor Follow up" segment tonight. Thomas Eric Duncan has died from ebola in Dallas, Texas. You remember he came to the U.S.A. from Liberia last month traveling through belgium. Once here he developed ebola symptoms which caused some panic because he had a number of interactions with Americans. We were supposed to have an expert from the National Institutes of Health on this evening but he cancelled. Also officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have not been cooperative with THE FACTOR. Of course they should be seeking air time on the most watched cable news program in the world. With us now is the Dr. Ian Lipkin, director of the Center for Infection and Immunity at Columbia University. Now, we have a new situation developing right now in Dallas where a deputy sheriff that did enter the room of the deceased man in clean up and investigation is now under observation in Dallas for possible ebola. I want to bring everybody up to speed. They don't know for sure. His name is Sergeant Michael Monning, M-O-N-N-I-N-G. Now, I don't think we being told the whole truth about this, Doctor. And I'll point to the NBC freelance cameraman currently being treated in Nebraska who was in Liberia and has ebola and they flew him back here for treatment. They're telling us now that Mr. Mukpo, you're seeing here, contracted the disease by washing a car where a guy with ebola died in the car. Number one, a freelance cameraman doesn't wash cars. There's no way that happens. And number two, how you can get Ebola from washing a car. You figure you'll get a hose and you're hosing it down, right? DR. IAN LIPKIN, CENTER FOR INFECTION AND IMMUNITY, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY: Well, I don't know how he washed down this car. For all I know he wiped down this car. So there is a lot of information that's missing. But it's true that you can catch ebola by touching things that people have touched who have ebola. O'REILLY: All right. So if Mr. Mukpo was dumb enough and I say that with all due respect because he knew what he was covering to reach into a car where a guy with ebola died and there's some fluid he put his in, he's going to get the disease. But I don't think that is what happened. Shouldn't we know? He has been now in the country for a week. Shouldn't we know how Mr. Mukpo contracted this disease? The people of America should know that. should they not? LIPKIN: I agree that they should. O'REILLY: And we don't know because the Centers for Disease Control are too busy PR-ing this and not telling us the truth. Now, let's go to Madrid, Spain. There's a nurse who has treated a missionary priest who came back from Liberia and died in Madrid. The hospital says she only entered the room twice in protective gear head to toe. She has ebola. She went on vacation with her husband and was in contact with hundreds of people. How can you get ebola when you are head to toe with all the stuff? LIPKIN: First of all, we don't know that she was head to toe. O'REILLY: That's what the hospital says. LIPKIN: We're told that she may have been head to toe, and we don't know if she was wearing the appropriate head to toe protective gear. O'REILLY: Shouldn't we know? LIPKIN: Yes I agree we should know. I'm sure that people are trying to sort this out. So you raise the issue about us not being transparent in terms of what we are being told by the CDC or the National Institutes of Health and others. I'm not certain that that's true. I don't know that they actually know more than they are telling us. O'REILLY: Then say it. Then say it. But there is no reason Mr. Mukpo's whole story shouldn't be public right now and it isn't.

The details of what they were wearing or what they weren't wearing, we don't have. O'REILLY: But we should have that.

But we do in Nebraska. LIPKIN: we should be able to figure out what's going on in Nebraska. And we should be able to figure out what's going on in Dallas. O'REILLY: Ok.

And people there, they were getting ready for a bad storm, but I don't think, really, anyone knew just how bad it was going to be until a little bit later on Thursday. </p><div class="ad-container tablet ad-h-50 ad-w-300"><div class="ad gam" data-iu="lb4" id="tablet-tw-ad-lb4"></div> <script>

We will be here until we can restore this region as back to normal as possible. BROCK LONG, FEMA ADMINISTRATOR: My support is designed to backfill the governor's needs and to make sure that we are here to support you guys. And we are going to be here for several years helping you guys recover. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I am going to Texas tomorrow. I look very much forward to it. Things are being handled really well. The spirit is incredible. The people, the coordination between all of the different services, as you know, has been going very well.

Click here to order a transcript of the entire show. SEAN HANNITY, CO-HOST: Most news stations have a policy against naming sexual assault victims, so why did Los Angeles nationally syndicated radio talk-show host Tom Leykis feel compelled to identify Kobe Bryant's (search) accuser? He joins us from Los Angeles. His home station is KLSX. Have I got that right? Hey, Tom. How are you? TOM LEYKIS, RADIO TALK SHOW HOST: Yes. How are you? HANNITY: We've known each other for a long time and this did not surprise me that you did this but you did it for very specific reasons. Tell us why. LEYKIS: I did it because I don't believe you can have a fair trial when you know the name of the accused and not the accuser. HANNITY: Yes. LEYKIS: Protecting the identity of an accuser automatically makes people assume that that person has a reason to have their identity protected. In other words, you're assuming guilt to begin with by protecting that identity. Which makes it possible for all kinds of false allegations to be made as you're conveniently hiding behind a fence. HANNITY: Do you think…if we decide to give out, obviously in this case, the name and identity of the accused, we should do the accuser? Do you think a better policy would be to withhold that information till later? Or everybody has got to understand, you're in the media, it's going to be fair game? LEYKIS: Well, you know, I hate to point to Great Britain (search), but they do it right. You don't get the name of the accused or accuser until the trial is over. You know, people talk about the stigma of being raped. And I completely understand and empathize with people who have been assaulted. And I'm a very strong advocate for severe, the severest punishment for people who rape. And if Kobe Bryant is guilty I hope he's imprisoned for the rest of his life. I have to make that clear. But by the same token what about the stigma of being accused of being a rapist? HANNITY: If you're innocent. Ultimately, if it turned out that way. LEYKIS: If you say the name William Kennedy Smith (search), most people will say, "Oh, yes, that rapist." Now whether you believe he did it or not, the guy was acquitted. HANNITY: What is the reaction? You have a huge radio audience. I assume it's probably mixed. Are you getting very strong feelings against you? LEYKIS: Well, we're getting two different sets of feelings. The people who call the radio show know that this is the fourth time we've done this. We give out the name of Marv Albert's (search) accuser first. We gave out the name of the so-called victim in the Mary Kay Letourneau case. HANNITY: Right. LEYKIS: And we also give out the name of the woman who attempted to get suicide by judge from the ship canal bridge during the morning rush-hour in Seattle, and the Seattle papers would not give her out name. So our listeners know we've done that. When it comes to email, though, it's a different story.

While other landowners were striking increasingly lucrative deals with energy companies, the northern Pennsylvania couple's suddenly valuable 117-acre parcel netted them $234 per year. And there wasn't a thing they could do about it. The Beinlichs are among thousands of residents living atop the gas-rich Marcellus Shale who signed lowball leases in the years leading up to the boom in Pennsylvania. In those early days a half-decade ago, virtually no layperson had even heard of the rock formation, let alone knew that drillers had found a way to access the huge reservoir of natural gas locked inside it. An untold number of industry-friendly agreements are now approaching their expiration dates. But landowners who expected to sign new leases — and reap windfalls of thousands of dollars an acre — are facing the reality that energy companies with billion-dollar investments in the Marcellus are not about to let their prime acreage slip away. As landowners in Ohio and New York prepare for their own round of Marcellus leasing, high-stakes battles are developing in law offices and courtrooms throughout Pennsylvania. Landowners who signed early for pittances are trying to get out of their leases, and gas companies are trying just as hard to keep them shackled to the original terms. "There's just too much money at stake — between a $3 lease and a $7,500 lease — for the operators to walk away from," said Robert Jones, an attorney in Endicott, N.Y., who represented a group of landowners who sued successfully in federal court to shed their old leases. "They're desperate to hold on to them like the landowners are desperate to get rid of them." Often, that means energy companies are drilling not to produce natural gas, at least not right away, but to extend their cheap leases indefinitely. It's called holding land by production. So long as the driller has sunk a well capable of producing gas, or even started preparations to drill a well, the original lease terms remain in force. "It's going to be a topic of great litigation over time," said Dale Tice, an oil and gas attorney in Lycoming County, where hundreds of wells have been drilled. "The verbiage that appears in the leases may be relatively clear, but what's going to be unclear is what exactly the gas company has to do" to hold the land by production. "Does it mean they can just put a stake in the ground?" That's the question at the heart of the Beinlichs' federal lawsuit against drilling company Chief Oil & Gas LLC. The couple, who live in Forksville, in rural, mountainous Sullivan County, had been looking forward to the end of their 5-year lease, originally with The Keeton Group LLC but later transferred to Chief. They had signed it in haste. Their infant daughter was hospitalized in Philadelphia and "we really needed the money to travel," recalled Karen Beinlich, who pushed her reluctant husband to sign. Fast-forward five years, to last fall. Their land had not yet been drilled. The couple knew that if Chief failed to begin developing a well by the time their lease expired at midnight on Oct. 24, they would be free to negotiate a new, more lucrative lease with Chief or some other company. Or free not to sign a lease at all. Chief apparently knew it, too. On Oct. 21, the Dallas-based company placed the Beinlichs into a larger drilling unit with 19 other tracts of land. Then it staked out an access road and parked a bulldozer on one of their neighbors' parcels — 31 hours before the lease expired. Chief didn't actually begin clearing land for the access road until three days after expiration, according to the lawsuit. A contractor tipped Karen Beinlich to Chief's tactics. "Chief is hot and heavy all over me to get this bulldozer here because they've gotta lock in some landowners," Beinlich recalled the man saying. He was apparently unaware that she was one of the landowners in question. "They're not playing fair," Beinlich said in an interview. "We expected them to be good neighbors and sit down with us." The company asserted, through its lawyer, that its declaration of the drilling unit, and the placement of the bulldozer, constituted "operations in preparation for drilling" and kept the Beinlichs' original lease in force. "Leases are legal contracts between the gas rights owner and Chief Oil & Gas. We honor the terms of the lease and we expect the gas rights owner to, as well," spokeswoman Kristi Gittins said via email. Like other energy firms, Chief, which has drilled 147 Marcellus wells, drills to protect leases from expiring. But Gittins pointed out the ultimate intent is to develop the resource. "We are a business and we don't make money by holding leases, we make money by selling natural gas," she said. The Marcellus, a rock formation more than a mile underground that stretches from West Virginia to New York, holds one of the largest natural gas deposits in the world. It could supply a quarter of America's gas by 2020, according to industry projections. Having perfected new ways to reach the gas, drillers secured the rights to millions of acres of Pennsylvania land in recent years. An Associated Press survey of 37 drilling companies has identified at least 8 million acres of leased land — more than a quarter of Pennsylvania's land mass. The tally includes all of the leading Marcellus drillers, but three dozen others either declined to reveal their holdings or did not return phone and e-mail messages. That's a lot of land, and drillers are racing to bring it into production before they lose it to expiring leases. The industry has been compelled by a "powerful, motivating force to drill wells that is not connected to natural gas prices, and that's the optionality of holding leases by production," Jeff Mobley, an executive with Oklahoma City-based Chesapeake Energy Corp., the biggest leaseholder in the Marcellus Shale with 1.73 million acres, said on a March conference call with investors. Companies are testing the bounds of what it means to hold land by production, said Taunya Knolles Rosenbloom, an attorney in Bradford County who often represents Marcellus landowners. Companies typically group adjoining landowners together into larger drilling "units" consisting of hundreds of acres. The practice eliminates the need to drill a well on every single landowner's property, but it also means that any production that takes place on one parcel of land automatically holds all of the other parcels by production. Rosenbloom said she's seen bogus unit declarations filed by drilling companies well after lease expiration, with no surface activity whatsoever. In one Bradford County case, she said, a drilling company placed a single half-acre of a landowner's 127-acre property into a drilling unit — yet the gas well that was supposed to have tied up all of her land indefinitely ended 400 feet from the edge of her property. "The companies will make you enforce your rights, which is the sad part," she said. "That's the part that really gets under your skin." Some legal disputes have arisen over the conduct of the landmen who secured the leases in the first place. Dairy farmers John and Mary Alice Castrogiovanni of Montrose signed a lease with Houston-based Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. for $25 an acre in 2006. The couple sued Cabot for fraud earlier this year, saying in court papers the company's landman had falsely told them that $25 "was the most that would ever be paid," and that if they didn't sign, Cabot would drill a well on a neighboring parcel and take their gas anyway. John Castrogiovanni, 85, said in an interview he would never have agreed had he known about the Marcellus Shale and its impact on lease prices. He said he assumed the 2006 lease was similar to earlier gas leases that he had signed for pennies an acre decades ago. "What Dad thought was, little gas guys come, they sell you a lease, they pay you and you never see them," said Castrogiovanni's son, Matt. "Because it's been that way for decades. They would pay you and you would never see anything of them. It was like free money, in a sense, and this was going to be no different." Except this time it was different, a lot different. "You know a landman's lying if his mouth is moving," Matt Castrogiovanni said. In its legal reply, Cabot said the couple couldn't prove the landman knew his statements were false, a required element of fraud. The company also argued that state law bars fraud claims regarding statements about "what a person will or will not do in the future." The Castrogiovannis withdrew their federal lawsuit in March, citing an adverse ruling in another case. Though they believe they were wronged, John Castrogiovanni said he concluded they stood little chance of winning. While Pennsylvania landowners face up to the consequences of leasing decisions they made years ago, the attorneys general of Maryland and Ohio, states underlain with Marcellus Shale but much slower to develop the industry, recently warned residents about speculators. They counsel that landowners should be careful about what they sign, resist pressure to strike a deal right away, and seek legal help. That's good advice, said Pennsylvania consultant Jackie Root, who helps landowners strike deals with gas companies. "The idea that (a landowner) would sign something at their kitchen table with someone whom they've never met before — that is really a deed on their property — is ludicrous," said Root, who's on the board of the National Association of Royalty Owners. "People still haven't gotten the message. We still get calls from people who haven't an idea what's going on." The industry points out that upfront bonus payments represent only one portion of the compensation that a landowner will ultimately receive. Once there is a producing well, the landowner gets a state-minimum royalty of 12.5 percent of the value of the gas, or more, depending on the lease. In New York state, many landowners in the Southern Tier signed low-dollar leases with gas companies in 1999 and 2000, well ahead of the Marcellus Shale boom. Years later, as land prices shot up as high as $7,000 an acre and royalties doubled to 25 percent, landowners who signed early hoped to get a better deal when their 10-year leases expired. The gas companies had another idea. One of them, Chesapeake, said its New York leases would be extended indefinitely because the state's imposition of a fracking moratorium in 2008 had prevented it from drilling. Nineteen of the landowners sued. A judge terminated their leases earlier this year, saying the moratorium did not release Chesapeake from having to make "delay rental" payments to the landowners. "These were $3 per acre payments," said Robert Jones, the landowners' attorney, who has since filed a second, similar lawsuit on behalf of 146 landowners in the Southern Tier. "A lot of these people had 50 acres. For crying out loud, Chesapeake couldn't pay them $150." While much of New York remains unleased, that could soon change. Landmen have been out in force since July 1, according to oil and gas attorney Chris Denton of Elmira. That's when an executive order that prohibited fracking expired, and New York environmental regulators gave Gov. Andrew Cuomo long-awaited permitting guidelines for Marcellus Shale gas development. Drilling could begin early next year. Lloyd Tompkins, 69, a landowner in Newfield, N.Y., who's trying to get out of his expired 10-year, $3-an-acre lease, said the drillers haven't acting honorably in their dealings with landowners. "They seem to think, because they've got a lot of high-powered lawyers and money, that they can come out into the country and cheat people out of what is rightfully theirs," he said. "But if it weren't for the landowners, they wouldn't have anything to drill on." ___ Associated Press writer Mary Esch in Albany, N.Y., contributed to this story. | e52153e2-3cd7-54f7-a1b7-144128d9fe18 | 05/19/25 |

Story tips can be sent to [email protected] and on Twitter: @ashleyhume</p></div></div></div> | Craig Morgan says that despite his success, he still feels more at home serving in the military than being part of the country music world. In 1989, the singer-songwriter enlisted in the United States Army and served almost 10 years of active duty in the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions before joining the Army Reserve as his music career began to take off. Morgan continued to serve in the reserves for another seven and half years until he decided to commit himself entirely to music. Even after he left the armed forces, Morgan always felt a calling to help people in need. In 2017, he traveled to Thailand with the nonprofit organization Exodus Road to rescue children from human trafficking. Then, in July 2023, Morgan decided to re-enlist in the Army Reserve at the age of 59. "That for me is more natural than the country music singer thing," he told Fox News Digital. Morgan continued, "People often ask me how I transitioned from being in the United States Army for so long to the music industry, and I tell them I've been working on it. I'm still working on it." COUNTRY STAR CRAIG MORGAN THANKS POLICE FOR ‘QUICK ACTION’ DURING TEXAS STATE FAIR SHOOTING "So, going back and doing those types of things was very natural for me," he added. "It's in my DNA. It's a part of who I am — wanting to help other people." "I'm not saying that in any conceited way or whatever," Morgan explained. "That's just who I am. I can't drive by a house that's burning without stopping and trying to help. I just can't. It's who I am. It's part of my DNA. And that will never change. So being able to go do those things just feeds that part of me. That, I think, is very important that we feed. Otherwise, those things die away." WATCH: Country singer Craig Morgan explains how re-enlisting in the Army Reserve was an ‘emotional experience’ Last July, Morgan was sworn in again to the Army Reserve on stage at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee in front of a sold-out audience. While speaking with Fox News Digital, he described re-enlisting in the Army Reserve as a "very emotional experience." "I spent 17 and a half years in my early life in the Army," Morgan said. "It is a big part of who I am, what my family is about, what we represent. The love that we have for our country. The passion we have for the freedoms that we celebrate in this nation." COUNTRY MUSIC STAR AND VETERAN CRAIG MORGAN RELEASES FIRST ALBUM SINCE DEATH OF SON "So, to be able to go back, and reignite that fire and be a part of what I believe are the greatest people in our nation — it was very emotional," he continued. "And I'm excited, honored, humbled and grateful to be able to do it again and hopefully encourage other folks in our country, to celebrate again and be a part of, what I do believe and know to be the greatest nation in the world." WATCH: Craig Morgan explained why serving in the military is "more natural" to him that being part of the country music world. During his time in the Army and Army Reserve, Morgan served as a staff sergeant and fire support specialist. He has airborne, air assault and rappel master certifications. Morgan has also worked with the USO and has earned the Army’s Outstanding Civilian Service Medal and the USO Merit Award. Upon his return to the reserves, Morgan initially held the rank of staff sergeant before he was promoted to warrant officer in February.

He also pointed to the distinction between the two national holidays that celebrate members of the military, their service and their sacrifices. "I think it's important that we understand the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day and other holidays that we celebrate our American life," he said. "Memorial Day is the day that we memorialize. And we remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice." "I'm a veteran," he continued. "You don't need to thank me on Memorial Day. Thank the folks that we lost in Panama and lost in Desert Storm and Desert Shield in Iraq and Afghanistan." "That's Memorial Day," Morgan added. "That's what we remember. That, for me, that's what we celebrate on Memorial Day. Their lives and we remember them and understand that because of their sacrifices, we're able to have that holiday and the life that we live." The "That's What I Love About Sunday" hitmaker explained that staying true to his own core values and those that serve as the foundation of America is a very important part of his life. WATCH: Country music star Craig Morgan on the updated paperback version of his memoir ‘God, Family, Country’ "I don't know how people exist without values," he said. "I mean, I do, I see it on TV. I see things that people are doing that just make me shake my head in a lack of understanding how they can't appreciate how fortunate we are. I think a lot of that is attributed to a lack of education." "I'm not calling anybody stupid," Morgan added. "I'm just saying there's some ignorance in the world, in our society, in particular in the States where people don't understand the importance of the freedoms that we celebrate. And a lot of that, for me, comes from visiting places that don't celebrate the same freedoms that we do." "I've had that honor and that privilege, most of which I attribute to my time in service in the United States Army. And now I can say honestly that things that I've got to do in the music industry have allowed me to have a different perspective on how fortunate we are in this country." This month, Morgan released an updated edition of his 2022 memoir, "God, Family, Country." In the book, the singer shared intimate details of his life's journey, including his childhood years in Tennessee, his time in the military, his rise to fame in the world of country music and the tragic loss of his son Jerry, who died in a water accident at the age of 19 in 2016. During his interview with Fox News Digital, Morgan explained that there wasn't one specific experience that he wanted to cover in "God, Family, Country" as he wanted the memoir to encompass all of his life. "The idea for me was to sum all of these things together, to show people that you can overcome adversities in your life, regardless of where it may be in your life," Morgan said. "And for me to ensure that people know that through faith and family and love, you can overcome a lot of adversity, and you can aspire to do things that you might not even think you're supposed to do."

"I'm into law enforcement," Morgan continued. "I want to save people's lives. It's just who I am. But every time I thought I was going to go do that in some way, God did something in this industry that ensured that I stayed here." "And I realized that the impact that I may have, in our society and on other people's lives, my family and everything, is where God wants me to be, and that's here. Share in music and and now with this book, stories that hopefully inspire other people to pursue their passions. " [insert video] Along with serving in the Army Reserve, Morgan has continued touring and releasing new music. In October, the recording artist released his six-song EP "Enlisted," which featured Trace Adkins, Luke Combs, Gary LeVox, Jelly Roll, Blake Shelton and Lainey Wilson. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER Morgan is currently on his global Redneck Yacht Club Tour and is continuing to promote the new edition of "God, Family, Country." "I didn't realize this when they did the paperback, they changed the cover," he said while laughing. "It's my first book, so I didn't really know. But, I mean, honestly, this version is like — it's my life story. It's not something that I ever thought I would do." Morgan continued, "I was encouraged by friends, management and various other people throughout my career in the music industry, sharing stories from my military life forward, and everyone saying, ‘You really should write this down. You should share this.’ CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP "That's what it is. And it's funny, it's not until I started writing the book with [co-author] Jim DeFelice that I realized that I'd done a lot of stuff in my life, I've always just been living and didn't really attribute it to being anything any different than anyone else's life." "I thought everyone did the kind of stuff that I was doing," he added with a laugh. | 9bfc8dfb-b7ef-56a8-9a91-28531ec28cf5 | 05/19/25 |

The announcement, which was first made on Iran's state-run news agency, marks a major reversal from the terms set by the 2015 nuclear deal, which promised eased sanctions in exchange for Iran scaling back its nuclear ambitions. Behrouz Kamalvandi, a spokesman for Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, said the country has passed the 3.67% uranium enrichment cap imposed by the 2015 nuclear deal and may proceed further, Reuters reported. Iran's earlier announcement that it would boost uranium enrichment above the cap prompted a rebuke from President Trump on Sunday, saying: “Iran better be careful. … Iran is doing a lot of bad things,” Trump said. “Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.” HARRY KAZIANIS: IRAN AND AMERICA ARE HEADED FOR A SHOWDOWN.
