France and Germany -- or any other opponents -- have until Monday to raise objections, otherwise the military preparations will start automatically, NATO Secretary-General Lord Robertson said. Diplomats said the planned measures include the deployment of AWAC surveillance planes, Patriot anti-missile systems, in-air refueling planes and NATO's anti-chemical, biological and nuclear weapons center. France, Germany and Belgium had held up the start of military planning -- requested by the United States -- for almost three weeks, arguing that it would send the wrong signal while U.N. efforts to avert a war continue. After a meeting of the 19 allies, Lord Robertson announced the agreement to use the so-called "silence procedure" in implementing the plan.

NATO diplomats had hoped an appeal for help from Turkey and Secretary of State Colin Powell's indictment of Iraq's arms programs at the United Nations Wednesday would have swayed the holdouts, but again they forced a delay in making a final decision. "Does that mean that there is continuing disagreement on the timing issue in NATO? Yes it does," Robertson said. "But I am confident that we will reach a decision early next week." He stressed there "is complete agreement on the substance" of the measures to defend Turkey. "NATO's solidarity with Turkey is not in doubt," Robertson insisted. The continued resistance came despite a dilution of the original list of possible support measures for NATO troops in an eventual war that was put forward by the United States last month. On the table for agreement on Monday are plans to send to Turkey AWACS surveillance planes based in Germany, Patriot anti-missile defense systems from the Netherlands and military units specialized in responding to chemical, biological or nuclear attacks. The proposals also call for other NATO allies to defend U.S. bases in Europe and replace troops sent to the Gulf from NATO's peacekeeping missions in Bosnia and Kosovo. Robertson called the options "prudent, deterrent and defensive." Plans for NATO to prepare a peacekeeping role in a postwar Iraq or to offer logistical support, such as airlift or secure communications, to any ally that decides to participate in a U.S.-led attack on Iraq were removed, although officials said they could be reactivated later. Despite the changes, it was not clear if the three holdouts would change their position.

Security Council to impose a no-fly zone are missing from the action. Except for the small Persian Gulf nation of Qatar, which is expected to start flying air patrols over Libya by this weekend, no other members of the 22-member Arab League have so far publicly committed to taking an active role. The U.S. has sold many of these countries, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, billions of dollars in sophisticated military gear over the past decade to help counter Iran's power in the region. Nearly a week into the campaign to prevent Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi's forces from attacking civilians, the United States increased the pressure on its NATO allies to take command of the campaign, suggesting the U.S. might even step away from its leadership role in a few days, even with the conflict's outcome in doubt. Despite the threat, officials said there was no absolute deadline to hand over front-line control to other countries, or for an end to all U.S. participation. Still, with the costs of the campaign growing by the day and members of Congress raising complaints over the goals in Libya, the Obama administration wants its allies to take the lead role soon. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, an early skeptic of American military intervention in Libya, said President Barack Obama made clear from the start of the campaign last Saturday that the U.S. would run it for only about a week. In an exchange with reporters traveling with him in Cairo on Wednesday, Gates was asked if his comments meant the U.S. had set a firm deadline of this Saturday for turning over command. "I don't want to be pinned down that closely," Gates replied. "But what we've been saying is that we would expect this transition to the coalition, to a different command and control arrangement, to take place within a few days and I would still stand by that." An American Army general now oversees the campaign from Europe, and an American Navy admiral is the day-to-day commander from a floating command post off the Libyan coast. While the question of overall command remains unsettled, the Defense Department on Wednesday released statistics showing U.S. aircraft are flying fewer missions than at the beginning of the week. Between Tuesday and Wednesday, there were 175 air missions — including non-combat flights — in the Libya operation, according to the department's figures. Of that total, 65 percent were flown by U.S. planes and 35 percent were flown by allied aircraft. Three days earlier, the U.S. made 87 percent of the flights compared with 13 percent by allied aircraft. But when, or if, any Arab League members besides Qatar will participate is unclear. On March 12, the Arab League called for the no-fly zone over Libya, saying Qaddafi's government had "lost its sovereignty. Yet since then, Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa has said the air war has caused civilian deaths and gone beyond what the league had backed. On Tuesday, two Qatar Air Force fighter jets and a cargo jet flew to a Greek air base on the island of Crete, en route to helping enforce the no-fly zone. Navy Adm. Samuel J. Locklear, the day-to-day commander, said he expected Qatar's aircraft to "be up and flying in the coalition by the weekend." Deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes told reporters traveling with the president on Air Force One that the U.S. is continuing to talk to Arab states like Jordan and the United Arab Emirates.

Congressional liberals and conservatives have criticized the president — some accusing him of acting too slowly, others saying he moved too quickly. Some have said he should have asked for Congress' approval before committing U.S. troops to combat. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said order could be resolved quickly — if Libyan leader Moammar Qaddafi would just quit. Obama returned Wednesday to Washington after a three-nation tour of Latin America, and several key Democrats lined up in support of his approach in Libya. Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Senate Democrat, said that when Qaddafi started a violent crackdown on his people, Obama moved with "unprecedented speed," and when Qaddafi remained defiant, Obama worked with allies and the Arab nations. He called it a "prudent course of action for the president and for our nation."

This week, Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar released new voter registration data – which showed that the state had around 3.5 million registered Republicans and about 4.2 million registered Democrats. That compares to last year, when there were about 4 million registered Democrats and 3.2 million registered Republicans, which means the gap in registration declined from around 9.5% to 8.1%, as noted by The Morning Call. Boockvar also said voter registration may be at an all-time high – about 8,908,777 people have registered to vote in a state of roughly 13 million people. Nearly 2.5 million are expected to vote by mail, according to Boockvar. PENNSYLVANIA VOTER REGISTRATION MAY BE AT RECORD HIGH, STATE OFFICIAL SAYS President Trump narrowly defeated Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania in 2016 by less than 1% – after former President Barack Obama carried the state by a 5.4% percentage point margin in 2012. Since 2016, however, the GOP has outpaced the Democratic Party in voter registration – though that did not stop the Democrats from flipping three seats in the House of Representatives during the 2018 midterm elections. As previously reported by Fox News, previous data showed the GOP had reduced the gap by 160,000 over the past four years. Pennsylvania is once again a key battleground state in the upcoming presidential election and the state’s Republicans and Democrats have been battling over some election-related challenges. In addition to a fight over the mail-in ballot counting window, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court also said that if voters do not put their ballot in a “secrecy” envelope their votes would not count. The Trump administration has filed a lawsuit against Philadelphia after it claimed poll watchers were unlawfully banned from early voting offices. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX BUSINESS APP Boockvar said this week that state officials are advocating that the Trump campaign’s claims be dismissed. And the early voting process in Philadelphia was fraught with technical difficulties as satellite election offices opened last week. Some voters waited in line for hours as delays were said to be caused by problems with the voter database. Over the weekend, Pennsylvania’s voter services website was down after an equipment failure. Boockvar said there is no evidence of malicious interference. | 5f4aff41-c1ec-563f-a1c6-217c04840392 | 05/19/25 |

Watch "The Beltway Boys" Saturday at 6 p.m. ET and Sunday at 1 and 6 a.m. ET (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) SEN. JOHN KERRY (D-MA), PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE: That is my first pledge to you tonight. As president, I will restore trust and credibility to the White House. (END VIDEO CLIP) FRED BARNES, HOST: I'm Fred Barnes. MORT KONDRACKE, HOST: And I'm Mort Kondracke. Well, the hot story of the week, obviously, is the convention, and is it Kerry's to lose, is the big question mark arising out of this. The -- if you asked Democrats up there their whole theory of this race is that fundamentally, this election is a referendum on President Bush's incumbency, and they think that the polls show that most people don't want President Bush reelected. They want somebody else. They want to try a different course, and that therefore, the strategy for the convention was to present John Kerry as an effective commander in chief and as a man with a positive, upbeat, optimistic foreign, domestic policy vision. Now, Kerry in his acceptance speech went to great lengths, and it was his sort of initial set of remarks about when he got done talking about his family, was about foreign policy and what kind of commander in chief he would make. Watch this. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) KERRY: I will never hesitate to use force when it is required. Any attack will be met with a swift and a certain response. I will never give any nation or any institution a veto over our national security, and I will build a stronger military... (END VIDEO CLIP) KONDRACKE: Now, I think that the Democrats' evaluation of the race is wrong, that fundamentally voters have not made up their mind yet on, on Bush's fate, and that this is a very, that this is a very close race. But on the ... I think that nonetheless, that the playing-out of this kind of positive, or trying to seem positive at the convention was a good idea. On foreign policy, however, I think that Kerry failed on the commander in chief test, because all he said, over and over and over again, was what he wouldn't do in foreign policy, that he wouldn't give a foreign country veto power, that he wouldn't send troops into combat unless there was a plan to win the peace afterwards. Now, I didn't hear his plan to win the peace in Iraq. BARNES: Yes. KONDRACKE: I mean, his only plan for Iraq, for North Korea, for Iran and all the rest is to get the French involved. That's fundamentally... BARNES: Right. KONDRACKE: ... what it, what it, and he did not explain how you get the French involved, you know. And what I suspect the French will want is a veto over American foreign policy. BARNES: Mort, you are such an interventionist. You want America to intervene all around the world. KONDRACKE: Well... BARNES: I agree with you. KONDRACKE: Good. BARNES: I mean, ultimately, the U.S. is a, does have to be the policeman of the world. But let me say two things about the convention. One, what all the Democrats said, and they all said that John Kerry, because he was a hero in his four months in Vietnam, he was very brave, that means he'll be a great, strong president. That is a non sequitur. If you followed that to its logical conclusion, Sergeant York would have made a great president. And right now, who should we have as president? Rambo. He'd be even greater by their reckoning. Anyway, every speaker said that same thing. But what didn't they talk about? The forgotten years. Those are the years after Kerry got back from Vietnam until he became a presidential candidate, 35 years. And 20 years in particular they didn't talk about. Those are the years when he was in the Senate voting against all the policies that won the cold war, for instance. And so there's a reason why they don't want to refer to those. In Kerry's acceptance speech, he spent twice as much time talking about the American flag, and he pointed up to it, you remember that, than he did about his Senate record. Twenty years in the Senate, he talked more about the flag. Well, any case, this leads to hot story number two, Bush push. The new Bush campaign after the Democratic convention, and it's going to be part positive and part negative. The positive part is, of course, the talk about what his agenda is for a second term, and this ownership society, and you'll own your own health care and your own pension and so on. And, and it's, you know, he's saving, I'm, I'm told, the big nuggets, so-called, for the Republican convention. But he talked a little bit about this Friday in Springfield, Missouri. This is the positive stuff, Mort. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: There be big differences in this campaign. They're going to raise your taxes, we're not. They have a clear vision on how to win the war on terror and bring peace to the world. They somehow believe the heart and soul of America can be found in Hollywood. The heart and soul of America's found right here in Springfield, Missouri. (END VIDEO CLIP) BARNES: Well, it wasn't entirely positive, was it? But it ... anyway, the negative stuff is going to be about the forgotten years, about Kerry's record as a senator, and it's aimed at shattering anyone trust that the voters might have in Kerry's ability to be forceful in, in national security. Now, the Republicans handed out this tape, you know, you and I saw it at the Democratic convention, 11 1/2 minutes of Kerry's wandering positions on Iraq. And, and I frankly thought it was devastating. It's backed up by this article in The New Yorker about, about Kerry's foreign policy, in which a Kerry aide, apparently speaking off the record, says, Why did Kerry vote against the $87 billion to fund the troops in Iraq? Because he was worried about Howard Dean, because Howard Dean was stealing the antiwar issue, and so he had to vote against it. And in fact, Joe Biden, the senator who's the head of the ranking Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, said yes, that's actually why Kerry voted against the $87 billion. Well, Mort, that means that Kerry was basing his decision on that most critical of issues on pure political expediency. KONDRACKE: OK. BARNES: That's not very good. And then you have the Senate record, which is this dovish record. You know, I mean ... I'm emphasizing it by gesticulating, but a very dovish record. And, and as I said before, all the policies that won the cold war and backing the freedom fighters in Nicaragua, as you did, Kerry was against. KONDRACKE: OK. Now, and the Bush, if the Democratic theory of the race is that it's a referendum on the incumbent, the Bush theory of the race is that this is fundamentally a choice between two candidates. And so up to now, they've been basically bashing, bashing Kerry in most of their ads, and not doing much to emphasize the positive side. Now, as you say, we're going to get into what Bush's posit is for positively... BARNES: Yes. KONDRACKE: ... leading up to the convention. The new slogan is, the new Bush slogan is, We've turned the corner, and we're not turning back. I don't think that's as effective as, Strong and home and respected abroad. The, the Democratic... BARNES: No, you're right. KONDRACKE: ... theme, but, but I'll, but I'll wait to see what the policies are that are part of that. And I think the ownership society... BARNES: Right. KONDRACKE: ... the idea that, that people should have a stake... BARNES: Yes. KONDRACKE: ... you know, save for their own futures... BARNES: You like that? KONDRACKE: ... and stuff like that -- I think it has potential, but it's going to have to be explained. Now, on the negative side, one of the, I think the most devastating item on that tape that we saw is a quote from John Kerry on Face the Nation right before the vote on the $87 billion, when he said, quote, "I don't think any United States senator is going to abandon our troops and recklessly leave Iraq to whatever follows as a result of simply cutting and running. That would be irresponsible." That was on September 14. BARNES: Yes. KONDRACKE: In the middle of October, what did he do? BARNES: Right. KONDRACKE: He voted against the $87 billion. I think that is, that is, that is dynamite and almost fatal. BARNES: Are we going to see that in a, in a Bush ad? KONDRACKE: We will see that in a Bush ad. BARNES: I think so too.

Hsieh is also suspected of developing a spy organization of current and retired military personnel tasked with collecting intelligence for China, according to the Taipei Times newspaper, which quoted unnamed prosecutors with Taiwan’s High Prosecutors Office.

"The Ministry of National Defense is saddened and severely condemns the small number of unscrupulous people who violated the duty of defending the country and committed such crimes as betraying the people of the country," the defense ministry said in a statement. A retired army major and three other people have also been questioned in the case and released on bail between $630 and $19,000, according to the Taipei Times. Last month, Taiwanese authorities detained five people, including a Chinese yo-yo instructor, on suspicion of spying for China. | 8223d16a-13eb-58d8-8438-429cd21665e4 | 05/19/25 |

A leader of the Free Democrats, the biggest opposition party, said it could force a parliamentary investigation of the matter unless it is satisfied with the government's rebuttal of the report before a panel of lawmakers on Monday. The government admitted last week that German intelligence gave limited information on Iraqi forces to U.S. authorities before or during the March 2003 invasion, despite then-Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder's outspoken opposition to the war. But it denied a report Monday in The New York Times, citing a classified U.S. military study, that German agents supplied Saddam Hussein's defense plan for Baghdad to their U.S. counterparts.

Opposition complaints were fueled by a new report in the Times Thursday that a German intelligence officer was attached to the wartime headquarters of U.S. commander Gen. Tommy Franks in Doha, Qatar. The newspaper cited a classified government report presented to a committee of the German parliament last week in closed-door hearings on the intelligence agency's role during the U.S.-led war that ousted Saddam.

The report said the liaison provided information on Iraqi police and military units in Baghdad, but it does not state that German intelligence provided a copy of Saddam's plan to defend the capital. It said the German officer delivered 25 reports to the Americans, answering 18 of 33 specific requests. The public section of the 300-page report says that the intelligence service passed on information gathered by two German agents in Baghdad providing details of the location of embassies and synagogues so they would not be bombed, and of the possible location of a missing U.S. pilot. Christian Stroebele, the opposition Greens party's representative on the panel, last week listed what he called 11 potential military targets about which German agents passed information to U.S. authorities in March and April of 2003. Stroebele has cast doubt on the government's assertion that none of the 11 locations, including Iraqi Republican Guard and intelligence positions and a suspected underground bunker, were actually bombed as a result.

Italian media reported that a detention order was issued for the suspects, identified as Gabriel Christian Natale Hjorth and Lee Elder Finnegan. They are said to have both been born in San Francisco in 2000. They are accused of killing Carabinieri paramilitary officer Mario Cerciello Rega, 35, who was reportedly stabbed multiple times. ITALIAN POLICE AND FBI RAID MAFIA IN SICILY WITH TIE TO GAMBINO FAMILY The two American teens – believed to be 19 – allegedly snatched a drug dealer’s bag with the phone and cash after he swindled them by giving them aspirin instead of the cocaine they sought, according to reports. The owner of the bag called his phone and one of the thieves allegedly offered to sell the bag back to him for 100 euros ($112). After they agreed to meet for the exchange, the alleged drug dealer called police. ROME IMPLEMENTS RECYCLING MACHINE FOR TRANSIT CASH Two plainclothes paramilitary police officers arrived at the scene of the meeting around 3 a.m. During a scuffle, Rega – who had just returned from his honeymoon with his longtime sweetheart a few days prior - was stabbed 8 times. He died a short while later in hospital. Prosecutors said that Finnegan is the main suspect, accusing him of fatally stabbing Rega. Meanwhile, Hjorth is accused of using his bare hands to strike the officer’s partner, who wasn’t seriously injured in the attack. The Carabinieri said video surveillance cameras and witnesses allowed them to quickly identify the two Americans and find them in a hotel near the scene of the slaying. Police said the pair were “ready to leave” Italy when they were found. In their hotel room, police found a long knife – possibly the one used to attack Rega – hidden behind the panel in the room’s ceiling. Police also said they found clothes the two purportedly wore during the attack. The Carabinieri statement said the two Americans admitted responsibility after being questioned by prosecutors and faced with “hard evidence.” "It was me, but I didn't think he was a policeman," Finnegan reportedly told investigators. "I was afraid of being cheated again." Both suspects are also being investigated for attempted extortion. Finnegan's lawyer, Francesco Codini, told the Associated Press that his client exercised his right not to respond to question during a detention hearing held Saturday in the Rome jail where the two teens are being kept. Hjorth's lawyer wasn't immediately available for comment.

Mikko Rantanen spotted Nichushkin in front and sent a perfect pass across the slot that Nichushkin steered behind Markstrom. Colorado’s power play has been lethal of late.

"And we know we’ve been really solid all year. "We’ve had one or two games during the year where similar to this, we let too many in, and we rebounded and we play really solid after that."

NOTES: Sean Monahan returned to the lineup for Calgary after being a healthy scratch the last two games. ... Trade deadline acquisition Arturri Lehkonen made his debut for the Avs. He centered a line with Andre Burakovsky and Alex Newhook. ... Colorado D Samuel Girard (lower body) missed his ninth game. He is back skating now. UP NEXT Colorado: Host San Jose Sharks on Thursday. Calgary: Host Los Angeles Kings on Thursday. | ee5ef073-a410-5597-9145-c5887faed26b | 05/19/25 |

As my late colleague Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote, an independent judiciary is ‘essential to the rule of law in any land,’ yet it ‘is vulnerable to assault; it can be shattered if the society law exists to serve does not take care to assure its preservation.’"</p><div class="ad-container mobile ad-h-250 ad-w-300 ad-placeholder-load"><div class="ad gam" data-iu="ban2" id="mobile-mw-ad-ban2"></div> <script>

Trump is now readying for a second term as president with an ambitious conservative agenda, elements of which are likely to be legally challenged and end up before the court whose conservative majority includes three justices appointed by Trump during his first term.</p><p>In the annual report, the chief justice wrote generally that even if court decisions are unpopular or mark a defeat for a presidential administration, other branches of government must be willing to enforce them to ensure the rule of law. Roberts pointed to the Brown v. Board of Education decision that desegrated schools in 1954 as one that needed federal enforcement in the face of resistance from southern governors.</p><div class="image-ct inline"><div class="m"><picture><source height="192" media="(max-width: 767px)" srcset="https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2025/01/343/192/gettyimages-2153933985.jpg?ve=1&tl=1, https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2025/01/686/384/gettyimages-2153933985.jpg?ve=1&tl=1 2x" width="343"><source height="378" media="(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px)" srcset="https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2025/01/672/378/gettyimages-2153933985.jpg?ve=1&tl=1, https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2025/01/1344/756/gettyimages-2153933985.jpg?ve=1&tl=1 2x" width="672"><source height="523" media="(min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1279px)" srcset="https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2025/01/931/523/gettyimages-2153933985.jpg?ve=1&tl=1, https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2025/01/1862/1046/gettyimages-2153933985.jpg?ve=1&tl=1 2x" width="931"><source height="405" media="(min-width: 1280px)" srcset="https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2025/01/720/405/gettyimages-2153933985.jpg?ve=1&tl=1, https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2025/01/1440/810/gettyimages-2153933985.jpg?ve=1&tl=1 2x" width="720"> <img alt="Roberts and Alito sit together for Supreme Court photo" height="675" src="https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2025/01/1200/675/gettyimages-2153933985.jpg?ve=1&tl=1" width="1200"/></source></source></source></source></picture></div> <div class="info"><div class="caption"><p><span>Chief Justice John Roberts, left, and Associate Justice Samuel Alito are seated as they and the other Supreme Court members sit for a group photo at the Supreme Court building on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 7, 2022.</span> <span>(Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post via Getty Images)</span></p></div></div></div><div class="ad-container mobile ad-h-250 ad-w-300 ad-placeholder-load"><div class="ad gam" data-iu="ban6" id="mobile-mw-ad-ban6"></div> <script>

Story tips can be sent to [email protected] and on X: <a href="https://x.com/danimwallace" target="_blank">@danimwallace</a>. </p></div></div></div> | Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts issued a warning on Tuesday that the U.S. must maintain "judicial independence" just weeks away from President-elect Trump's inauguration. Roberts explained his concerns in his annual report on the federal judiciary. "It is not in the nature of judicial work to make everyone happy. Most cases have a winner and a loser. Every Administration suffers defeats in the court system — sometimes in cases with major ramifications for executive or legislative power or other consequential topics," Robert wrote in the 15-page report. "Nevertheless, for the past several decades, the decisions of the courts, popular or not, have been followed, and the Nation has avoided the standoffs that plagued the 1950s and 1960s." "Within the past few years, however, elected officials from across the political spectrum have raised the specter of open disregard for federal court rulings," Roberts said, without naming Trump, President Biden or any specific lawmaker. "These dangerous suggestions, however sporadic, must be soundly rejected. Judicial independence is worth preserving. As my late colleague Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote, an independent judiciary is ‘essential to the rule of law in any land,’ yet it ‘is vulnerable to assault; it can be shattered if the society law exists to serve does not take care to assure its preservation.’" "I urge all Americans to appreciate this inheritance from our founding generation and cherish its endurance," Roberts said. DEMOCRATS LAUNCHED 'CALCULATED EFFORT' TO UNDERMINE SCOTUS SINCE DOBBS, CBS REPORTER SAYS Roberts also quoted Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, who remarked that the three branches of government "must work in successful cooperation" to "make possible the effective functioning of the department of government which is designed to safeguard with judicial impartiality and independence the interests of liberty." "Our political system and economic strength depend on the rule of law," Roberts wrote. A landmark Supreme Court immunity decision penned by Roberts, along with another high court decision halting efforts to disqualify Trump from the ballot, were championed as major victories on the Republican nominee's road to winning the election. The immunity decision was criticized by Democrats like Biden, who later called for term limits and an enforceable ethics code following criticism over undisclosed trips and gifts from wealthy benefactors to some justices. A handful of Democrats and one Republican lawmaker urged President Biden to ignore a decision by a Trump-appointed judge to revoke FDA approval for the abortion drug mifepristone last year. Biden declined to take executive action to bypass the ruling, and the Supreme Court later granted the White House a stay permitting the sale of the medication to continue. The high court's conservative majority also ruled last year that Biden's massive student loan debt forgiveness efforts constitute an illegal use of executive power. THE BIGGEST SUPREME COURT DECISIONS OF 2024: FROM PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY TO OVERTURNING THE CHEVRON DOCTRINE Roberts and Trump clashed in 2018 when the chief justice rebuked the president for denouncing a judge who rejected his migrant asylum policy as an "Obama judge." In 2020, Roberts criticized comments made by Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York while the Supreme Court was considering a high-profile abortion case. Roberts introduced his letter Tuesday by recounting a story about King George III stripping colonial judges of lifetime appointments, an order that was "not well received." Trump is now readying for a second term as president with an ambitious conservative agenda, elements of which are likely to be legally challenged and end up before the court whose conservative majority includes three justices appointed by Trump during his first term. In the annual report, the chief justice wrote generally that even if court decisions are unpopular or mark a defeat for a presidential administration, other branches of government must be willing to enforce them to ensure the rule of law. Roberts pointed to the Brown v. Board of Education decision that desegrated schools in 1954 as one that needed federal enforcement in the face of resistance from southern governors. He also said "attempts to intimidate judges for their rulings in cases are inappropriate and should be vigorously opposed." While public officials and others have the right to criticize rulings, they should also be aware that their statements can "prompt dangerous reactions by others," Roberts wrote. Threats targeting federal judges have more than tripled over the last decade, according to U.S. Marshals Service statistics. State court judges in Wisconsin and Maryland were killed at their homes in 2022 and 2023, Roberts wrote. "Violence, intimidation, and defiance directed at judges because of their work undermine our Republic, and are wholly unacceptable," he wrote.

History is lost when you live in the eternal present as we are now, but it's worth remembering some facts -- three times. The first time Biden ran was in 1988. That was before most of the people who work on the show were born, and he was caught lying about his biography in speeches and forced to drop out. Biden suggested to audiences that he had grown up in a coal mining family in Wales. That's not true. Joe Biden is actually from America. His father sold cars in Wilmington. Biden went to a Catholic prep school in the suburbs. So it was pretty embarrassing. TRUMP SAYS HARRIS WOULD BE ‘FINE CHOICE’ AS BIDEN RUNNING MATE It took 20 years before Biden ran again. And when he did, it did not go well. In 2008, Joe Biden got a total of one percent of the vote in the Iowa caucuses, and he dropped out that night. Joe Biden, whatever his strengths, turns out to be so bad at running for president that even Barack Obama, supposedly his close friend, repeatedly refused to endorse him. He just can't win. That was Barack Obama's view. Then the Wuhan coronavirus arrived. Democratic governors shut down the country. Millions lost their jobs. The economy tanked. Americans huddled in their homes cut off from one another and deeply miserable. From his basement, strategically cloistered away in silence, Joe Biden shot ahead in the polls, not because of anything he did. He just happened to be there. As of tonight, Joe Biden could win the race. Unfortunately, if he does, Joe Biden cannot govern the country. He isn't capable of it. He's all but admitted that. He said he won't run for a second term. So Biden's running mate will be the most consequential VP pick in American history, and soon we'll know who it is. Apparently, the announcement is coming in the next week. As of tonight, Sen. Kamala Harris of California seems like the frontrunner. She is certainly the best known. Harris is a product of the same highly credentialed, yet deeply unimpressive world that spawned too much of our media. Needless to say, they love her. She's one of them. The public, though, has been much less impressed, including Democrats. Harris was so unpopular with Democratic primary voters that she never made it to the first vote in the primaries. When she dropped out in December, Harris was polling at around three percent. The wrap on Harris in exit polls is that she is a fraud. She doesn't really believe in anything. She'll say whatever it takes. Of course, that is also Harris's primary strength. Here she is promising free health care to illegal aliens. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) JAKE TAPPER, CNN ANCHOR: So you support giving universal health care and Medicare-for-All to people who are in this country illegally? SEN. KAMALA HARRIS (D-CALIF.), FORMER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Let me just be very clear about this. I am opposed to any policy that would deny in our country any human being from access to public safety, public education or public health. Period. (END VIDEO CLIP) CARLSON: Oh, now wait a second, you may be wondering. I'm sitting in my house, maybe unemployed, paying a huge percentage of my net worth for health care. So why should people who aren't even allowed to be in this country in the first place get it for free at my expense? And by the way, how can a government that's already $27 trillion in debt afford to pay for the rest of the world's medical bills? Now, those are all good questions. Kamala Harris has no answers. Fixing problems is not the point of the exercise, winning is the point. And over the years, Harris has been willing to do pretty much whatever it takes to win, including using the power of her office to crush political opponents. As the Attorney General of California, Harris relentlessly defended her big donors in the abortion industry. When a journalist called David Daleiden criticized Planned Parenthood in a documentary, Kamala Harris sent the police to his home. Daleiden later described the authoritarian nightmare Harris unleashed on his life. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) DAVID DALEIDEN, PRO-LIFE ACTIVIST: They got a highly political search warrant to conduct a political raid on my home, to seize the unreleased undercover footage, by the way, it's blackletter California law that you're not supposed to get a search warrant to seize the unpublished materials of a journalist, whether citizen journalists, professional journalists. But that's what Kamala Harris went ahead and did at the behest of Planned Parenthood in order to cover up for them and in order to protect them from increased further scrutiny for the crimes of selling aborted baby body parts, sometimes from criminal partial-birth abortions. (END VIDEO CLIP) CARLSON: So I think we can conclude from this episode that Kamala Harris or any politician willing to use law enforcement to stop journalism she doesn't like probably doesn't care too much about civil liberties or equality under the law, and indeed, she doesn't. Harris supports allowing universities and employers to discriminate based on the skin color of applicants. What decade is this? She supports race-based reparations. She'd like to rewrite the Constitution to eliminate the Electoral College because it's inconvenient. To give you some perspective on these positions, just 10 years ago, Barack Obama would have run away from them. That's how much the Democratic Party has changed, and if you're looking at more evidence of that change, you should also know that Joe Biden is considering Congresswoman Karen Bass of Los Angeles as his running mate.

Overnight leader Chinnarat Phadungsil stumbled to a second-round 74 at Jaypee Greens Golf Club, allowing Liang and Nirat to vault into the top spot at 12- under 132 through 36 holes. Both Liang and Nirat are seeking their second European Tour victory and first since 2007. That year, the former won the Singapore Masters, while the latter took home the TCL Classic title. "I've learned to be patient and my playing experience from all over the world has taught me well," said Liang. "There are two more rounds to go and, hopefully, I can be atop the leaderboard like today." Tommy Fleetwood (65), David Drysdale (67), Joonas Granberg (67) and Chawalit Plaphol (68) share third place at 10-under. On Thursday, Thailand's Phadungsil used an inward 28 to grab a 5-stroke lead -- one shot shy of the European Tour first-round record. The 24-year-old failed to maintain his scorching pace a day later and fell into a tie for seventh at minus-9. Adilson Da Silva (65), Scott Hend (68), Rahil Gangjee (66), Julien Quesne (66), Jaakko Makitalo (68) and India's Abhijit Singh Chadha (69) are also 9- under through 36. Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee, the highest ranked player in the field at world No. 59, carded a 71 and finished two rounds on the cut line at 3-under. Defending champion Jbe Kruger, who earned his first European Tour win at this event a year ago, shot even-par for the second straight day and failed to make the cut. Phadungsil, a former European Tour Qualifying School graduate with three Asian Tour titles to his name, tallied eight birdies on Jaypee Greens' inward nine Friday, but he couldn't match the feat a day later. Starting on the 10th tee, Phadungsil picked up a par before stumbling to a double bogey on the 11th. He bounced back with a birdie on the next, but a hat trick of bogeys followed. A par-birdie-bogey stretch closed the disappointing outward nine, and another bogey on the first knocked Phadungsil out of the lead. Drysdale was there to claim the top spot, as the 37-year-old Scot notched four birdies during his front nine to make the turn at 9-under. He added another birdie on the back to stay on top, but Liang and Nirat had yet to make their respective moves. "I got through the turn today at nine under and expected to be four or five behind at that point after the lad shooting 11-under yesterday, but saw he had come back to the field so that was a pleasant surprise," said Drysdale. Starting at the 10th, both Liang and Nirat used stellar closing runs to jump in front. Liang carded four birdies and a pair of bogeys over his first nine holes to make the turn at 8-under. He began his bogey-free inward stretch with three birdies in four holes and, after a string of pars, birdied the ninth to hit the clubhouse with the lead. "I have played some of my best golf this week and I managed to hole several long putts," added Liang. Nirat, who teed off shortly after Liang, also closed with a bogey-free stretch after carding three birdies and a bogey over his first nine holes. Making the turn at minus-8, Nirat birdied the second and the fifth, then turned trick again at Nos. 7 and 8 to reach 12-under. "I played very well indeed," he said. "This is a very long course and I managed to hit the balls long the last two days. I also managed to hole several long putts as well and luck did play a part in getting me to my position today."

Cheshire police in the United Kingdom announced the two teenagers, a boy and a girl, on Wednesday would be charged with Ghey’s murder. Ghey was found dead Saturday afternoon in Linear Park, Culcheth, and the teens were arrested the following day. "The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against both 15-year-olds are now active and that they have the right to a fair trial. It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings," the Cheshire Constabulary said. Neither suspect was identified. FORMER TRANS KID SHARES AGONY OF SIDE EFFECTS FROM 'MUTILATING' MEDICAL TRANSITION: 'I'VE GOTTEN NO HELP' Detective Chief Superintendent Mike Evans said on Sunday the attack was "targeted" and investigators were looking into whether the death was a hate crime. "A number of enquiries in relation to this incident are underway, and we are doing all that we can to establish the exact circumstances of what has happened," Evans said. "At this time, there is no evidence to suggest that the circumstances surrounding Brianna’s death are hate related." A GoFundMe page that was set up on behalf of the Ghey family described her as an "outgoing, confident girl" and said she "brought a lot of laughter to those who knew her." "We have set up this page to help the family at this truly devastating time. We need your support to help them with funeral costs," it reads. MISGENDERED TRANS TEEN REPORTEDLY SEX TRAFFICKED AFTER MD COURT DENIED FAMILY REUNIFICATION: 'WORST NIGHTMARE' The fundraiser has raised over £96,122 (about $115,794). On Wednesday, thousands of people gathered outside the Department for Education in London to protest against trans-targeted violence. A vigil to mourn her loss was also held that night. According to the Sun, friends of Ghey said she was "bullied in school for years" and that in a TikTok posted just days before her murder she said she "got excluded from school." The video has since been deleted. MOTHER WHO PULLED KIDS FROM PUBLIC SCHOOL OVER WOKE CURRICULUM SAYS HOME-SCHOOLING PRODUCES 'AMAZING' RESULTS Emma Mills, the Head Teacher at her school, told The Sun she is "shocked and truly devastated" by her loss. "This is understandably a very difficult and distressing time for many, and we will do our utmost to support our pupils and wider school community," Mills said, per the report. An investigation into the murder is ongoing and police are requesting anyone with information relating to the death to contact the Cheshire Police. "I would ask anyone who has any information, no matter how big or small, that they believe could help with our investigation to get in touch," the chief added. "We are also keen for people and businesses within the local community to check any CCTV or dashcam footage for anything that may aid our investigation."

Already, what happened in Charlottesville and its aftermath have received equal or more prominent coverage than James Hodgekinson’s mass assassination attempt. Much of the press corps and major voices on the left see no difference between conservatives and white supremacists. To them, Russell Moore of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission is as much a bigot as Richard Spencer.

Many Trump supporters stood with Trump because they saw a progressive movement trying to impose their secular worldview on everyone else. They see the left and many reporters lumping them in with the white supremacists as one group. That drives them even closer to Trump and makes them view their opponents more as enemies.</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>

There will therefore be more of this sort of thing and even less moral clarity. Violence will begat violence and as the media refuses to be fair in its coverage, reporters will have a harder and harder time finding conservative voices who care enough to speak up.

But in pointing all of this out, prominent voices on the left will angrily reply that Black Lives Matter, Antifa, union goons, etc. are all working for equality, justice, or some other noble end. They will wave away legitimate comparisons between the alt-left and alt-right providing moral justification for the left. There have been far more conservatives willing to call out the alt right than there have been progressives calling out the alt-left. Part of the left labeling all conservatives as bigots or enablers of bigots and all leftwing activists as moral crusaders includes prominent reporters in the mainstream media. Already, what happened in Charlottesville and its aftermath have received equal or more prominent coverage than James Hodgekinson’s mass assassination attempt. Much of the press corps and major voices on the left see no difference between conservatives and white supremacists. To them, Russell Moore of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission is as much a bigot as Richard Spencer. Spencer, they think, wants to advance the white race, and Moore, they think, wants to advance Christofascist radicals. They have lost their ability to distinguish because they see anyone to the right of them as equally awful. It affects the media’s coverage and it affect’s the left’s willingness to engage in dialogue. They less and less see their opponents as opponents and more and more see them as the enemy. But that is happening on the alt-right as well and among a lot of Trump supporters. Many Trump supporters stood with Trump because they saw a progressive movement trying to impose their secular worldview on everyone else. They see the left and many reporters lumping them in with the white supremacists as one group. That drives them even closer to Trump and makes them view their opponents more as enemies. Because so many on the left are unwilling to call their own to account and, instead, vest virtue in their violence, there will be fewer conservatives willing to call their own to account. There will therefore be more of this sort of thing and even less moral clarity. Violence will begat violence and as the media refuses to be fair in its coverage, reporters will have a harder and harder time finding conservative voices who care enough to speak up. And after all, why should they? They’ll only be labeled bigots by the left for something else. | e4112b7e-1dff-50da-8199-9bad05f8af01 | 05/19/25 |

</script></div><p class="speakable">What started out as a clever pun ("May the fourth be with you") has blossomed into a full-on annual celebration of the "Star Wars" franchise every year on May 4. It’s a time for people across the world to bond over their fandom. That used to mean binge-watching three movies, but over the years the canonical "Skywalker Saga" has ballooned into nine movies as well as a myriad of spinoff <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/entertainment/movies" target="_blank">film</a> and <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/entertainment/tv" target="_blank">TV</a> projects.</p><p>This often leaves many wondering what to watch in order to celebrate the big day and where to find it. Fortunately, thanks to the launch of its very own streaming service, the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/travel/general/disney" target="_blank">Disney-owned</a> franchise can be found in its entirety on Disney+. </p><div class="ad-container desktop ad-h-50 ad-w-300"><div class="ad gam" data-iu="lb2" id="desktop-desk-ad-lb2"></div> <script>

</script></div><p>With all that said, any "Star Wars" fan will tell you that May 4 is less about what you watch and more about bonding with every other fan of the franchise in some way or another. So, May the fourth be with you on your binge.</p> <!-- --> <div class="article-meta"><div class="author-bio"><p>Tyler McCarthy covers entertainment at Foxnews.com.</p></div></div></div> | It’s "Star Wars" day and fans far and wide are looking to celebrate one of the most beloved days in the fandom by binge-watching some of their favorite installments in the ever-growing franchise. What started out as a clever pun ("May the fourth be with you") has blossomed into a full-on annual celebration of the "Star Wars" franchise every year on May 4. It’s a time for people across the world to bond over their fandom. That used to mean binge-watching three movies, but over the years the canonical "Skywalker Saga" has ballooned into nine movies as well as a myriad of spinoff film and TV projects. This often leaves many wondering what to watch in order to celebrate the big day and where to find it. Fortunately, thanks to the launch of its very own streaming service, the Disney-owned franchise can be found in its entirety on Disney+. However, that doesn’t mean that it’s easy to figure out what to watch. Traditionalists may opt to check out the canonical "Skywalker Saga," which includes "A New Hope," "The Empire Strikes Back," "Return of the Jedi," "The Phantom Menace," "Attack of the Clones," "Revenge of the Sith," "The Force Awakens," "The Last Jedi" and "The Rise of Skywalker." Although many debate the correct order in which to watch them. CELEBRITY 'STAR WARS' ACTORS AND FANS REACT TO DAVID PROWSE'S DEATH, HONOR THE LATE DARTH VADER ACTOR While those are a worthwhile endeavor for anyone interested in the genre, it’s hardly the only way to celebrate the franchise in 2021. On the film side of things, Lucasfilm hit the throttle with spinoffs like "Rogue One" and "Solo," which tell stories on the outskirts of the main plotline such as how the Rebels stole plans for The Death Star and the origin of everyone’s favorite rogue, Han Solo. Meanwhile, it’s never been a better time to be both a TV fanatic and a "Star Wars" fan as Disney+ has consolidated older shows like "The Clone Wars" and "Rebels" into one convenient place. In addition, the Mouse House has doubled down on the franchise by creating shows like "The Mandalorian," which currently has two seasons up and expects a myriad of spinoffs all its own. The streaming service is even going as far as to celebrate "Star Wars" day with the release of a brand new animated series, "The Bad Batch," which follows a select, elite group of clone troopers at the onset of the rise of the Empire. While all of these options are great for anyone who wants to immerse themselves further in the world created by George Lucas all those years ago, production enthusiasts can expect to find some worthwhile documentaries simply about the making of shows like "The Mandalorian" and the impact "Star Wars" has had on pop culture available on Disney's only streaming platform as well. 'STAR WARS' SPINOFFS HAVE FRANCHISE'S STARS, CELEBRITY FANS EXCITED: 'I NEED THIS NOW' In short, if you have a Disney+ subscription, there’s no wrong answers when it comes to "Star Wars" content, so simply dive in and let the Force be your guide. However, if you’re eager to celebrate the big day and don’t have a subscription, there’s still hope. Many may opt to dust off their old hard copies to watch. However, not all DVD and Blu-ray versions of the original trilogy are created equal. As WIRED notes, Lucasfilm has released several different remastered versions of the movies since the first one hit theaters in 1977. The first movie, for example, was previously revised in 1981 to add "A New Hope" to the title. In 1997 special editions of the film were released with tweaks as well.

</script></div><p>___</p><p>Elliott reported from Washington.</p> <!-- --> <!-- --></div> | Distant cousins Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman each have deep ties to their Mormon community and, they hope, its pocketbooks. As Romney and Huntsman jostle for support, Mormons are watching two of their own compete in what could become a nasty, intra-faith contest between two scions of Mormon royalty. Both families are steeped in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and Huntsman and Romney are planning trips to Utah in the coming days to pitch their White House bids and round up campaign dollars. Yet neither should assume they have a lock on the traditionally conservative, 5 million-strong Mormon community in the United States. Theirs is the first Mormon-versus-Mormon contest for a presidential nomination and it puts two dynasties in competition for their faith's small bloc of votes yet sizeable clutch of campaign cash. "It's not automatic that this Mormon is going to support a Mormon," said Gary Lawrence, a Mormon who is a political pollster in Southern California. He pointed to Romney's 2008 campaign that included a speech on his faith that helped assuage some of the public's concerns over Mormons. "I would say Mormonism will be a factor in the candidacy of these two men," he said, "but not as big of one as it was the last time." That could help or hurt. "I really believe most of the Mormon population is going to vote for the person, not for the religion. That's what we're taught," said Mac Robinson, the GOP chairman of rural Kane County, some 300 miles southeast of Salt Lake City near the Arizona state line. "I'm a very active Mormon, but it does not matter to me whether (the candidates) are Mormon or not," said Robinson, who is leaning toward Romney but isn't decided. "I'm not going to vote for anybody because they are a Mormon. I think some people will." That's why Romney and Huntsman are trying to set themselves apart — in this state that is more than half Mormon — despite looking a lot alike on paper. Both are former Republican governors and sons of industrial giants. Both have matinee idol good looks and business-heavy resumes. Both are Mormons with big families. Both are running for the White House with positions that fall outside the GOP's orthodoxy. Yet they are hardly friends, let alone similar campaigners. Romney is a product of the 1950s and at times comes across with a formality of a bygone era. Huntsman came of age during the 1960s. The generational difference is evident in their styles on the road. Romney struggles to chat up voters on the campaign trail, awkwardly filling in the silences with small talk. Huntsman is a natural retail campaigner who sidles up to tables for long conversations about work and family. Romney polls and meticulously tests messages. Huntsman prefers to go from his gut — much to the chagrin of his advisers at times. His campaign has yet to conduct a single poll. Neither is eager to criticize the other and both try to play down the rivalry. "It's a lot of hyperbole. It sounds good. Everybody loves drama," Huntsman said in Wolfeboro, N.H., during a campaign trip that took him within miles of the Romney clan's vacation home. "I met Gov. Romney as governor a few years ago. My grandfather and his father used to fish in the same stream in Idaho 300 years ago. I have nothing but respect for Gov. Romney and his family. He's an accomplished professional," Huntsman said. Both say they're not personally close; neither is rushing to help the other despite a tangled political and personal family tree. In 2008, Huntsman backed Sen. John McCain's presidential bid and was often at his side, watching the person-to-person campaign master at work. His father, industrial magnate Jon Huntsman Sr., was a national finance chairman for Romney, turning to his vast network to open deep pockets that helped Romney wage a professional — although unsuccessful — presidential bid. Now, the elder Huntsman is working for his son's bid. The personal ties are even deeper. Huntsman's uncle Bruce once dated Romney's sister Lynn. Huntsman's maternal grandfather was best friends with Romney's father, George Huntsman's mother lived for two years with Romney's sister Jane while they were at the University of Utah. Going back even further: Early Mormon missionary Parley Pratt is Huntsman's great-great-great-grandfather and Romney's great-great-grandfather.

The previous margin for a mandatory recount was 1/10 of 1%. It is now 0.5%.</p> <!-- --> <!-- --></div> | The board overseeing a southeastern Arizona county whose Republican leaders had hoped to recount all Election Day ballots on Friday delayed certifying the results of last week's vote after hearing from a trio of conspiracy theorists who alleged that counting machines were not certified. The three men, or some combination of them, have filed at least four cases raising similar claims before the Arizona Supreme Court since 2021 seeking to have the state's 2020 election results thrown out. The court has dismissed all of them for lack of evidence, waiting too long after the election was certified or asking for relief that could not be granted, in increasingly harsh language. But Tom Rice, Brian Steiner and Daniel Wood managed to persuade the two Republicans who control the Cochise County board of supervisors that their claims were valid enough for them to delay the certification until a Nov. 28 deadline. AZ BOARD MEMBERS WITHDRAW LAWSUIT DEMANDING BALLOTS SHOULD BE HAND COUNTED They claimed the U.S. Elections Assistance Commission allowed certifications for testing companies to lapse, and that voided the certifications of vote tabulation equipment used across the state. That came despite testimony from the state's elections director that the machines and the testing company were indeed certified. "The equipment used in Cochise County is properly certified under both federal and state laws and requirements," state Elections Director Kori Lorick told the board. "The claims that the SLI testing labs were not properly accredited are false." The move is the latest drama in the Republican-heavy county in recent weeks, which started when GOP board members Tom Crosby and Peggy Judd voted to have all the ballots in last week's election counted by hand to determine if the machine counts were accurate. Crosby also defended a lawsuit he and Judd filed against the county elections director earlier this week seeking to force the hand-count. They dropped the case against Lisa Marra on Wednesday. "If our presenters' request is met by the proof that our machines are indeed legally and lawfully accredited, then indeed we should accept the results," Crosby said. "However, if the machines have not been lawfully certificated, then the converse is also true. We cannot verify this election now." Crosby and Judd then voted to delay certification, with Crosby saying he believed Wood, Steiner and Rice needed to be provided proof since they were "the experts." Democratic Supervisor Ann English was powerless to overrule them. The delay potentially jeopardizes state certification, set for Dec. 5, and at least one statewide recount. Lorick issued a statement after the vote vowing legal action to force the board to accept the results. Under Arizona law the formal election canvass can’t be changed by the elected county boards — their only role is to accept the numbers as they are tallied by their elections departments. "If they fail to do so, the Secretary (of State) will use all available legal remedies to compel compliance with Arizona law and protect Cochise County voters' rights to have their votes counted," Lorick said. ARIZONA CERTIFICATION THREATENED BY A HAND-COUNTING BALLOT LAWSUIT All 15 Arizona counties face the same Nov. 28 deadline, but there is no sign others are considering similar defiance. Once the state certifies the results Dec. 5, there will be a recount in at least one statewide race. That contest, between Republican Abraham Hamadeh and Democrat Kris Mayes for attorney general, is so close that a recount is certain. As of Friday night, Mayes was less than 600 votes ahead with fewer ballots remaining to be counted than the margin for a mandatory recount, which will be about 12,500 votes. "It's going to be close, and every vote matters," Mayes said in a brief interview. "And obviously we're headed into a recount, one way or another."

Reasonable experts can and do disagree. It is this discord that fuels trial and error experimentation and discovery. Science, by its very nature, is rarely settled. In the race for information about the novel virus, technology and media companies have jumped ahead to help shape narratives around partisan policies despite the science changing by the day. Big Tech is collecting massive amounts of data while stifling free speech and removing content that goes against popular opinion. In Saphier’s book "Panic Attack," she details the many ways Big Tech has censored contrarian opinions about the pandemic, leading to more discord and skepticism than the views themselves. It should not be acceptable for YouTube and Facebook to ban content that conflicts with a certain party’s policy enactments. Despite ending lockdowns back in September, Florida’s per capita case and death counts are better than nearly half of all states. The state's vaccine rollout has been faster than many, too. In a public health crisis such as we are still in, it is essential to have transparent discussions on responses and outcomes to help lay a better path for the future. What worked? What didn’t? But YouTube doesn't want the public hearing about it. The panel of professionals, which included a former White House coronavirus task force member, a Harvard professor of medicine, and professors of epidemiology from Stanford and Oxford, discussed data that suggests lockdowns had a lesser effect in controlling the virus, therefore supporting Florida’s methods. The discussion seemingly confronted the inconvenient truth that prolonging some restrictions and policy during the pandemic may have been unnecessary, resulting in unintended consequences. It should not be acceptable for YouTube and Facebook to ban content that conflicts with a certain party’s policy enactments. While vaccine hesitancy remains a barrier in the vaccination efforts, suppressing contrarian views on Twitter and elsewhere only adds to the growing skepticism. Banning discussion, misinformation or not, does not change the reality that legitimate debate on the subjects exist. The suppression of scientific dispute is not only wrong, it's harmful. It sends a message that medical experts cannot be trusted. The consequences of fomenting that belief may help reach short-term goals, but they could be catastrophic in the long run, as laid out in Chaffetz’s new book "They Never Let a Crisis Go To Waste." CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP The rights to privacy and free speech are being repressed in the name of public health and safety with the potential to linger long after the current pandemic is over. There is no party of science. Whether we like the conclusions or not, whether we feel comfortable debating the ambiguity or not, the outcomes speak the truth. Suppression efforts do more to discredit and undermine science than conservatism. And that's dangerous. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM DR.

</script></div><p><em>Fox News’ Janine Puhak contributed to this report.</em></p> <!-- --> <div class="article-meta"><!-- --></div></div> | After skewering Melania Trump’s holiday decorations in the past, The Washington Post has this year approved of her White House decor, and decided instead to criticize the former fashion model's appearance in a widely mocked piece on Tuesday that labeled the first lady's jacket "ridiculous." The liberal paper’s fashion critic Robin Givhan wrote a piece headlined, “Melania Trump’s Christmas decorations are lovely, but that coat looks ridiculous,” which criticizes the outfit the first lady wore when unveiling the décor. The Post, which called last year’s decorations a “nightmare forest,” spent a single paragraph complimenting this year’s “lovely” edition before pivoting to disapproval. WHITE HOUSE UNVEILS CHRISTMAS DECOR WITH 'SPIRIT OF AMERICA' THEME “For her tour, Mrs. Trump wears all white: a dress with a simple jewel neckline, white stiletto-heeled pumps and a white coat. The coat is draped over her shoulders as she strolls through the White House,” Givhan wrote. “The coat looks ridiculous.” The fashion critic said “the coat is a distraction” and “a discomforting affectation taken to a ludicrous extreme.” White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham blasted the Jeff Bezos-owned outlet. "It has become an annual holiday tradition for the media to attack all that the First Lady does," Grisham said in a statement to Fox News. "If this was a Democratic Administration, I suspect Mrs. Trump and her work would be featured positively in every mainstream news outlet." The first lady announced that the White House had been decorated for the holiday season with adornments inspired by “The Spirit of America,” this year's patriotic theme. She introduced the decorations on Monday with a video, walking alongside Christmas trees glowing with white lights, later sprinkling faux snow on a tree, adjusting roses on a fireplace and fixing a miniature wreath on the traditional gingerbread White House in the State Dining Room. "It has become an annual holiday tradition for the media to attack all that the First Lady does" MELANIA TRUMP BRUSHES OFF CHRISTMAS DECORATION CRITICS: 'I THINK THEY LOOK FANTASTIC’ “In a video that is intended to celebrate the warmth and welcoming spirit of the holiday season, that simple flourish exudes cold, dismissive aloofness,” the Post fashion critic wrote. “Her attire suggests that she’s casually passing through and has little affinity for the occasion. She’s not getting comfortable, so why should you?” Givhan added that the first lady has “styled herself in a manner that contradicts” claims that she is an “engaged hostess who sweats the details and frets about her guests’ comfort,” instead appearing like someone who would greet “guests at the front door, tells them to remove their shoes and warns them not to sit on the Lalanne sheep.” The piece piles on, suggesting that a coat tossed over the shoulders is a tired cliché and goes on to mock other jackets she has worn over the years. BASHING MELANIA TRUMP FOR WHITE HOUSE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS LATEST SIGN OF MEDIA HYPOCRISY, CRITICS SAY “Her attire would be less attention-grabbing if she took off her coat and indicated that she was happy to stay awhile,” Givhan wrote. The Washington Post defended the piece, however, telling Fox News: “Robin Givhan is a fashion critic, which means she shares her perspective on the news, trends and business of the fashion industry.” The Post and Givhan have both been shredded on social media. “White House Christmas decorations triggers deranged criticism,” Sen. Marco Rubio wrote on Instagram. ”Does anyone in the world of major media have enough self awareness to realize the damage their hatred of @realdonaldtrump is inflicting on them & journalism?"

Idlib, a major urban center with a population of around 165,000 people, is the second provincial capital to fall into opposition hands after Raqqa, now a stronghold of the Islamic State group. Its capture by the Nusra Front underscores the growing power of extremist groups in Syria who now control about half the country. Opposition fighters including Nusra have controlled the countryside and towns across Idlib province since 2012, but Assad's forces have managed to maintain their grip on Idlib city, near the border with Turkey, throughout the conflict. On Saturday, Islamic fighters jubilantly swept in, taking over key buildings and tearing down posters of Assad. Videos posted online by activists and the Nusra Front showed a group of heavily armed fighters kneeling down in prayer in the city's sprawling Hanana square as others fired their guns in celebration. "Allahu Akbar!" -- God is great -- they shouted. The fighters then took down a Syrian flag flying in the center of the square and set it on fire to the backdrop of incessant shooting. The video appeared genuine and consistent with AP reporting on Idlib's takeover Saturday. On its Twitter account, Nusra posted pictures of the Clock Tower and other landmark locations now under its control. The Nusra Front is leading a group of ultra-conservative rebels in a major offensive that began earlier this week to take Idlib. They include the hardline Ahrar al-Sham and Jund al-Aqsa groups and a few smaller groups loosely affiliated with the Free Syrian Army. With the takeover of Idlib, an island of government territory in the midst of mostly opposition terrain, the Nusra Front further cements its hold over an impressive stretch of land it controls from the Turkish border to central and southern Syria. With the world's attention focused on the Islamic State group, the Nusra Front has quietly consolidated its power in Syria in recent months, crushing moderate rebel groups the West may try to work with while increasingly enforcing its own brutal version of Islamic law. Idlib, besides being a major population city, is located near the main highway linking the capital Damascus with Aleppo. The main Western-backed Syrian National Coalition opposition group said the wresting of Idlib from government control is an "important victory on the road to the full liberation of Syrian soil from the Assad regime and its allies." However, it said more "decisive" assistance to Syrian rebels was needed for that to happen. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said rebel fighters seized control of Idlib in a push Friday evening and early Saturday after rapidly collapsing government forces withdrew.

Latin American nations butted heads with the United States until nearly dawn Sunday in failing to agree on several points of a draft document to be debated at the two-day summit. The United States wants the draft to call for re-emphasizing a 2005 deadline for finishing negotiations on a Free Trade Area of the Americas (search), a hemisphere-wide trade zone that is one of Bush's top policy goals for Latin America. Brazil and Venezuela say the summit is not the place to discuss it. The United States also wants to kick corrupt governments out of the Organization of American States (search), a move opposed by several Latin American nations. Argentina's President Nestor Kirchner is upset about recent U.S. criticism over its warming relations with Cuba. U.S. officials privately worry that President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, who warned U.S. officials on Saturday not to "stick their noses" in his nation's affairs, is working with Cuba to oppose pro-American democracies in the region. Some Latin American leaders accuse America of being heavy-handed. They argue that the United States has neglected social issues, such as raising the standard of living for some 200 million people — nearly one-half the region's population — who live in poverty. Bush arrived in this industrial city at midday at an airport where gun-carrying troops and security officers roamed the grounds. He and his wife, Laura, through a phalanx of Mexican officials — all men wearing dark suits. The couple was followed in the procession of greeting by Secretary of State Colin Powell, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice and White House chief of staff Andy Card. Once in his motorcade, Bush passed large expanses of brush and cactus-covered land. Men digging ditches alongside the road stopped and leaned on their tools to watch him pass by. On a 90-minute flight here from Texas, Bush got a briefing from Rice and Powell on the Summit of the Americas that Bush and Fox were attending, said press secretary Scott McClellan. In his meeting with Fox, the spokesman said, the president was to discuss the new immigration policy, strengthened border security and free trade. McClellan dismissed talk of the meeting as an opportunity to air grievances. "We have a good relationship with Mexico and President Fox is a good friend of the president's," McClellan said. "Whatever differences we had in the past, we have a lot of common challenges that we are working closely together on." Bush dismayed Fox when he put immigration reform on the back burner after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. Their relationship further soured when Mexico failed to back the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. The trip was Bush's fourth to Mexico since he took office nearly three years ago, more than to any other country. He invited Fox and his wife to visit the presidential ranch in Crawford, Texas, on March 5-6. The Associated Press contributed to this report. | a8bc12dd-a4f5-59da-b82e-caa186a014b7 | 05/19/25 |

"My biggest prayer is, first of all, that these students will not hold a grudge. That they would be able to overcome this. That they would, one day, be able to move forward and continue to be the great people that they are," Mims, a band director at Jackson-Olin High School in Birmingham, Alabama, said on Good Morning America Wednesday. Mims has also called for the Birmingham Police Department to drop charges against him for "disorderly conduct" and to apologize to him and to his students. ALABAMA HIGH SCHOOL BAND DIRECTOR STUNNED, ARRESTED AFTER TELLING STUDENTS TO KEEP PLAYING MUSIC, POLICE SAID "During the officers' interaction with Minor's band director, the decision was made to place him in custody," a statement from the Birmingham Police Department read. "BPD officers attempted to take the band director into custody for Disorderly Conduct when a physical altercation ensued between the band director, Birmingham City Schools System Security personnel, and BPD officers." Mims was charged with disorderly conduct, physical harassment and resisting arrest after an argument with police officers. The incident took place after Thursday's game between Minor High School and P.D. Jackson-Olin High School. The Minor High School band was playing in the stands during the "fifth quarter," which is a tradition for some marching bands. Bodycam footage from the Birmingham Police Department shows officers approaching the band 18 minutes after the game ended. ALABAMA HIGH SCHOOL BAND TEACHER TASED BY POLICE AFTER REFUSING TO WRAP UP POSTGAME PERFORMANCE: VIDEO The band was still loudly playing and cheering when police came over and asked them to wrap up. "It's time to go," an officer was heard saying to a band instructor. "Y'all got to go and come down." Officers then turned to their attention to Mims, who told them to "get out of [his] face" multiple times. Chaos ensued when the field lights were turned off, prompting students to scream. After the band finally stopped playing, police attempted to arrest Mims. An officer accused the band director at swinging at another cop, which Mims disputed.

</script></div><p>In the end, the Long Island debate will turn not just on policy but on who comes off as a likable presence and plausible president—and on the one-liners that television and the web will endlessly replay.</p> <!-- --> <div class="article-meta"><!-- --></div></div> | Let’s face it: The only thing the media love more than a presidential debate is the pre-game chatter. You can bloviate and speculate and pontificate and predict like a football fan before the Super Bowl, and today’s Trump-Clinton faceoff is a Super Bowl-like event. And if you’re way off base, who really remembers? We size up the candidates like two prizefighters stepping into the ring. Who will land the best jabs? Who’ll be the strongest counterpuncher? Who can bob and weave? And the referee—in this case NBC’s Lester Holt—will get his share of catcalls no matter what he does. While a small army of fact-checkers will comb over every policy statement, the Long Island debate, like so many past ones, will turn on moments: the zinger, the reaction shot, the sigh, the flash of temper, that seems to capture who Donald and Hillary are. Most debates, for all the sound and fury, don’t change elections because they reinforce the preferences of voters. Barack Obama lost the first debate against Mitt Romney, and George W. Bush lost the first two debates against John Kerry, and still got reelected. They, of course, were incumbents, but Hillary Clinton is functioning as the incumbent here, the establishment figure running against the billionaire outsider. Perhaps the best analogy is 1980, when Ronald Reagan won the White House in his single debate against Jimmy Carter. Reagan had been portrayed as a trigger-happy cowboy who might start a war; that image was dispelled by his reassuring demeanor against Carter’s testy attacks (“There you go again”). Trump faces a similar challenge, needing to cross the commander-in-chief threshold. What’s amusing is not just how the media are knee-deep in the expectations game, but how both campaigns are playing it as well. Sean Spicer, the RNC communications chief, doesn’t even try to be subtle in a memo to reporters: “The pressure is squarely on Hillary Clinton to live up to her reputation as a talented debater…With so much riding on this moment and a wealth of experience working in her favor, Hillary Clinton has no excuse not to turn in a near-flawless performance.” And the Clinton camp is working the refs as well, openly fretting that Trump will be graded on a curve. “My biggest concern is what kind of standards he is held to,” communications director Jennifer Palmieri told reporters. The press corps is in hot pursuit of juicy inside details. The New York Times says Hillary is determined to get under Donald’s skin and rattle him, while he’s “approaching the debate like a Big Man on Campus who thinks his last-minute term paper will be dazzling simply because he wrote it… “Mrs. Clinton has a thick dossier on Mr. Trump after months of research and meetings with her debate team, including analysis and assumptions about his psychological makeup that Clinton advisers described as critical to understanding how to knock Mr. Trump off balance. Mrs. Clinton has concluded that catching Mr. Trump in a lie during the debate is not enough to beat him: She needs the huge television audience to see him as temperamentally unfit for the presidency, and that she has the power to unhinge him.” Politico says Clinton and her people are preparing for “the different Trumps” that might show up: “They know that Trump – a quick-study political novice participating in the first one-on-one debate of his life – is a wild card who can turn weeks of pouring over briefing books into mockery with a single, brilliant and bullying punch. ‘The fear is that she’ll get lost in the moment, and no one is better at seizing the moment than Trump,’ said a longtime adviser to both Clintons.” The Washington Post cites a CNN poll saying more people expect Clinton to do well rather than Trump, 53 to 43 percent: “That has Clinton’s team arguing that Trump should not be graded on a curve. Will Trump be the aggressive, name-calling combatant who dominated the crowded GOP field, or will he take a more measured, statesmanlike posture?” Of course, you have to realize where all these leaks are coming from as the two sides jockey for position, trying to psych out the other side and lower expectations for their own. In the end, the Long Island debate will turn not just on policy but on who comes off as a likable presence and plausible president—and on the one-liners that television and the web will endlessly replay. | 559903d9-ea91-5cec-80e4-fcd456729a47 | 05/19/25 |

The opposition alleges the vote was rigged and says it will take its complaints to the courts. ___ 10 a.m. Zimbabwe's capital is unusually quiet hours after President Emmerson Mnangagwa was declared the winner of the national election, which began with a peaceful vote Monday but turned deadly when the military rolled into the streets 48 hours later. Harare's deserted roads appear to be free from the troops that circulated Thursday. Water cannons and police remain present, however, at the headquarters of the main opposition party, a day after authorities raided it. The opposition says it will challenge in court the results of the election, which Mnangagwa won with just over 50 percent of the vote. Opposition leader Nelson Chamisa on Twitter says "unverified fake results" were announced. Vendor Roy Mukwena says Mnangagwa "won by force. No, I'm not happy, just because these elections were not free and fair." | aba728d3-9651-57ab-a6b5-c09aa5a3bd75 | 05/19/25 |

While the president stopped short of withdrawing from the nuclear pact with Iran and other world powers, he threatened to withdraw from the deal in 120 days if Iran does not agree to renegotiate it. In particular, the president said he wants 10-year limits on Iranian nuclear development made permanent. But Iran’s government said Saturday that it would refuse to renegotiate the deal and threatened to retaliate against the U.S. after President Trump imposed more limited sanctions not connected to the nuclear agreement against 14 Iranian individuals and entities. Some Americans are applauding President Trump’s strong stance, particularly in light of recent anti-government protest demonstrations held in some 80 cities across Iran. Many foreign policy hawks, like former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton, have called for regime change in Iran and advocated imposing additional economic sanctions to achieve that result and bolster the protesters. If President Trump pulls out of the nuclear deal in four months, these hawks will cheer. But in reality, imposing harsh and broad economic sanctions on Iran would be a mistake and play right into the hands of the hardliners in Tehran who pose the greatest threat to the United States. The right way to support the protesters and squeeze the Iranian regime is by helping the Iranian people communicate more freely with each other and the outside world. If all this sounds a bit confusing, well … that’s understandable. Just about all Americans find the Iranian regime detestable. The Iranian government is virulently anti-American and anti-Israel, it provides military and financial support for Syrian dictator Bashar Assad and for terrorist groups, it denies its own people basic freedoms, and it places especially severe restrictions on women. It’s been exhilarating to see Iranians marching in the streets, demonstrating against their corrupt government, and demanding change since the end of December. There’s no question that the United States should do whatever we can to help them. OK – so then wouldn’t new economic sanctions on Iran be helpful? No, they would not. In truth, there’s a right way and a wrong way to encourage the protesters in Iran – and the wrong way is by imposing additional crippling economic sanctions, especially if it’s an attempt to force quick regime change.

In 1959, a magnitude 7.5 quake near Hebgen Lake just west of the park triggered a landslide that killed 28 people.</p> <!-- --> <!-- --></div> | Yellowstone National Park was jostled by a host of small earthquakes for a third straight day Monday, and scientists watched closely to see whether the more than 250 tremors were a sign of something bigger to come. Swarms of small earthquakes happen frequently in Yellowstone, but it's very unusual for so many earthquakes to happen over several days, said Robert Smith, a professor of geophysics at the University of Utah. "They're certainly not normal," Smith said. "We haven't had earthquakes in this energy or extent in many years." • Click here to visit FOXNews.com's Natural Science Center. Smith directs the Yellowstone Seismic Network, which operates seismic stations around the park. He said the quakes have ranged in strength from barely detectable to one of magnitude 3.8 that happened Saturday. A magnitude 4 quake is capable of producing moderate damage. "This is an active volcanic and tectonic area, and these are the kinds of things we have to pay attention to," Smith said. "We might be seeing something precursory. "Could it develop into a bigger fault or something related to hydrothermal activity? We don't know. That's what we're there to do, to monitor it for public safety." The strongest of dozens of tremors Monday was a magnitude 3.3 quake shortly after noon. All the quakes were centered beneath the northwest end of Yellowstone Lake. A park ranger based at the north end of the lake reported feeling nine quakes over a 24-hour period over the weekend, according to park spokeswoman Stacy Vallie. No damage was reported. "There doesn't seem to be anything to be alarmed about," Vallie said. Smith said it's difficult to say what might be causing the tremors. He pointed out that Yellowstone is the caldera of a volcano that last erupted 700,000 years ago. He said Yellowstone remains very geologically active — and its famous geysers and hot springs are a reminder that a pool of magma still exists five to 10 miles underground. "That's just the surface manifestation of the enormous amount of heat that's being released through the system," he said. Yellowstone has had significant earthquakes as well as minor ones in recent decades. In 1959, a magnitude 7.5 quake near Hebgen Lake just west of the park triggered a landslide that killed 28 people. | db58fde8-a321-5aaf-8a18-937be7735fc2 | 05/19/25 |

The verdict was returned in Manhattan federal court, where Lev Parnas was on trial for more than two weeks as prosecutors accused him of using other people’s money to pose as a powerful political broker and cozy up to some of the nation’s star Republican political figures. One part of the case alleged that Parnas and an associate made illegal donations through a corporate entity to Republican political committees in 2018, including a $325,000 donation to America First Action, a super PAC supporting former President Donald Trump. Another part said he used the wealth of a Russian financier, Andrey Muraviev, to make donations to U.S. politicians, ostensibly in support of an effort to launch a legal, recreational marijuana business. Parnas, 49, was convicted on all counts after about five hours of jury deliberations. The Soviet-born Florida businessman had insisted through his lawyer that he never used the Russian’s money for political donations. He briefly closed his eyes and shook his head as the verdict was read. TRUMP DID NOT VIOLATE CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAW, DESPITE WHAT PROSECUTORS SAY Outside the courtroom after the verdict, Parnas said, "I’ve never hid from nobody. I’ve always stood to tell the truth." A co-defendant, Ukraine-born investor Andrey Kukushkin, was convicted of being part of the effort to use Muraviev’s money for political contributions. He had also denied any wrongdoing. The case had drawn interest because of the deep involvement of Parnas and a former co-defendant, Igor Fruman, in Giuliani’s efforts to get Ukrainian officials to investigate Joe Biden’s son during Biden’s campaign for president. Giuliani’s company and attorney didn’t immediately respond to emails seeking comment on the verdict. Giuliani remains under criminal investigation as authorities decide whether his interactions with Ukraine officials required him to register as a foreign agent, but he wasn’t alleged to have been involved in illegal campaign contributions and wasn’t part of the New York trial. The case did, though, give an up-close look at how Parnas entered Republican circles in 2018 with a pattern of campaign donations big enough to get him meetings with the party’s stars. "In order to gain influence with American politicians and candidates, they illegally funneled foreign money into the 2018 midterm elections with an eye toward making huge profits in the cannabis business," U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement following the verdict. "Campaign finance laws are designed to protect the integrity of our free and fair elections – unencumbered by foreign interests or influence – and safeguarding those laws is essential to preserving the freedoms that Americans hold sacred." TWO GIULIANI ASSOCIATES LINKED TO UKRAINE INVESTIGATIONS INDICTED ON CAMPAIGN FINANCE CHARGES In addition to the $325,000 donation to America First Action, made through an energy company, prosecutors said Parnas and Fruman orchestrated donations to U.S. Rep. Pete Sessions, of Texas, and to other committees supporting House Republicans. Giuliani and Trump were sparsely mentioned during the trial, although a photograph featuring Parnas with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, was one of the first exhibits shown to jurors during closing arguments and a video of Giuliani with Parnas was among exhibits jurors could view during deliberations. DeSantis was among those who received campaign contributions that prosecutors said were traced to $1 million that Parnas and Fruman received from Muraviev, who has been involved in several U.S. cannabis ventures. About $100,000 of Muraviev’s money went toward campaign contributions in what Assistant U.S. Attorney Hagan Scotten called a conspiracy to secretly bring his "wealth and corruption into American politics" in violation of laws barring foreign donations to U.S. political candidates. "The voters would never know whose money was pouring into our elections," Scotten said. Former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt, now a candidate for U.S. Senate, testified during the trial that a blustering Parnas suggested he could raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for him in 2018. He eventually came through only with a $10,000 check that Laxalt’s lawyers told him to reject. Joseph Bondy, a lawyer for Parnas, had called the allegations against his client "absurd." He insisted in his closing argument that Muraviev’s money went toward supporting legal marijuana businesses looking to expand. Kukushkin’s lawyer, Gerald Lefcourt, sought to portray his client as an unknowing dupe in the scheme, who was mocked behind his back by other participants as mentally challenged. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Following the verdict, prosecutors asked for immediate incarceration of Parnas and Kukushkin, citing a risk of flight, but the judge allowed them to remain free on bail while awaiting sentencing. The charges against Parnas collectively carry the potential for decades behind bars, but any prison sentence would likely be measured in years, rather than decades. Fruman pleaded guilty earlier this year to a single count of solicitation of a contribution by a foreign national. He awaits sentencing. Another co-defendant, David Correia, also pleaded guilty and has been sentenced to a year in prison for crimes including defrauding investors in an insurance company that had paid Giuliani a $500,000 consulting fee. Parnas awaits a second trial in connection with that scheme. Giuliani has insisted that he knew nothing about potentially illegal campaign contributions by either Parnas or Fruman. The former mayor says everything he did in Ukraine was done on Trump’s behalf and there is no reason he would have had to register as a foreign agent.

This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated. ERIC BOLLING, CO-HOST: Congratulations, Mr. President, you and your own campaign, your supporters and sadly, the White House, has reached the new low in politics. It can only be characterized as the dirtiest presidential campaign ever. Or as we like to call it, the Chicago way. Case in point, your own com director, Stephanie Cutter, baselessly concluded Mitt Romney must be a felon. Then Majority Leader Harry Reid making a brothel out of the Senate floor, accused Romney of tax evasion. And the latest example of dirty, sleazy politics from the Chicago gang, widower Joe Soptic -- we all feel badly for the guy -- but now he's a willing accomplice to your campaign lies about Romney's tenure at Bain Capital. Bill O'Reilly is calling you and your operatives political assassins, but my pal Rush Limbaugh said it best. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) RUSH LIMBAUGH, RADIO TALK SHOW HOST: We are in the middle of a political terrorism campaign. This is political terrorism, what is going on. Romney is a felon. Romney is a tax cheat. Romney kills women with cancer. Romney funded Bain Capital with money from right-wing death squads in El Salvador. Romney wants to rob from the middle class and give to the rich. (END VIDEO CLIP) BOLLING: You know, Juan, honestly, have you ever seen -- you have been in politic as long time -- have you ever seen a dirtier, sleazier campaign than the one Obama is running right now? JUAN WILLIAMS, CO-HOST: Yes, the one run by Mitt Romney right now. KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE, CO-HOST: Come on. Come on. BOLLING: You must be kidding. WILLIAMS: Are you kidding me? Who said you have to learn to be an American? That's a surrogate of Mitt Romney. Who says that when you think about it, you look at the ad, you didn't build that. Oh, they take out the part where he is talking about bridges and roads. Or, you think about, oh, you're a food stamp president? You're an entitlement president, making him out to be a socialist. Or, you know what, this is a war on religion. Romney has got that ad right now running. War on religion. What war on religion? GREG GUTFELD, CO-HOST: But there's a difference. A lot of the things that you mention have to do with greater themes about an entitlement culture and it's true, they could be exaggerated because that's what people do. But nobody calls somebody a murderer. I mean, it seems to me with the left, if it doesn't have a pulse, it's a prop. Remember the Daisy ad, LBJ, it showed a woman, little girl, playing with flowers, blew her up. The left loves to say the right kills people. That's just what they do, right? WILLIAMS: And the right loves to say you are not an American, you are not really one of us, you're not like us. You are not a Christian. GUTFELD: That's a fair point. (CROSSTALK) BOLLING: Kimberly, he's been called a felon. He's been called a tax evader. Now, he's called a murderer. KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE, CO-HOST: Murderer of women, that he's against women, that he doesn't understand them. Oh, he hates dogs, he's an animal abuser. I mean, honestly, what else are they going to say? The sad thing is it really shows the desperation of their campaign. Their rhetoric is so vehement against him and so baseless, unsubstantiated allegations made by a U.S. senator with no proof whatever. They don't care. Like nothing is off limits because they must keep the White House and they'll do whatever it takes. This is going to backfire. So, keep acting up and you'll see what's going to happen. BOLLING: What do you think, Dana? Should the White House -- not necessarily the campaign in Chicago -- but should the White House say, look, we have to tone down the rhetoric a little bit? DANA PERINO, CO-HOST: Well, maybe, I guess they think it's working for them, because they're not, there aren't ads that are run by the Obama campaign about his record, right? There are ads against Romney. So you have the situation where we have been talking about this ad, and rightly so, and in particular how the ad was all put together. Across the board, everybody from far left to far right has said this ad was beyond the pale. And as Karl said the other day -- Karl Rove -- every argument creates an opportunity for a counter argument. If you go too far on the negativity you can risk the possibility of turning people off. It is only August. Do you remember, in the primary, when Gingrich called Romney a liar and I thought, are do you go from there? After you call somebody a murderer, what's left -- like what in the world will they say in September and October? GUTFELD: That's the amazing thing about President Obama, his horrible mistakes actually help him. The ad is criminal but it takes everyone's eye off the economy so if he keeps screwing up like this he'll win. WILLIAMS: Yes, that's a good point and Rudy Giuliani made that point on "Fox & Friends" when he said that everyone is talking about this. They are not having the real debate about the economy. So that is a good point. But to get back to Dana's point, I just think when you look at his record and he does talk, President Obama talk about his record in ads. But in this instance it would actually I think in my opinion help him if he said, you know what, the Senate majority leader should not be making baseless charges on the Senate floor. If you guys think this ad is somehow over the top, if you interpret it that way, he can say, the way I interpret it that this is talking about the excesses of Bain and how Bain is all about profits. PERINO: He should also say my campaign staff should not lie. (CROSSTALK) GUILFOYLE: Yes, show some integrity. PERINO: You can look at the tape. Professionally, I don't think I could sleep at night. WILLIAMS: The guy, that guy, that guy Joe Soptic. BOLLING: We're going to get to him in a second. But Stephanie Cutter said we don't have any coordination. We have a lot of evidence. WILLIAMS: You have a telephone conversation. BOLLING: No, no, Juan, we have a lot more. We have the White House -- - we have staffers at White House raising money for Priorities USA. Sounds like a lot of coordination. GUILFOYLE: Very direct connection to Priorities USA, from everyone that's involved with the Obama campaign and those that are serving in the White House with him. So they cannot even deny it. It's just a joke. They have no credibility if they care about that, but I don't know that they do. They want the smoke and mirrors and distract everyone from the lack of jobs, from the economy, from the deficit, from the reckless spending. That is what they want to do. He can't run on his record! WILLIAMS: You know what? You're right. You know, I don't think there is any question, you are right, Ms. Guilfoyle. The lawyer in the house, you are right. GUILFOYLE: Thank you so much. Glad to have you on the program! WILLIAMS: The thing is you are a one-eyed referee, you don't see the other side is also throwing a bunch of stuff out there, too. (CROSSTALK) PERINO: You offended all the one-eyed people. GUILFOYLE: Immediately issue an apology. GUTFELD: OK. Two things, they asked Burton about this ad, he didn't stand by it. He said, it doesn't mean what it means. It's like getting lipstick on the color, and you say, oh, yes, it's lipstick, but it's not my shirt. It makes no sense. Everybody knows the implication was that he killed somebody. The big lie here is Obama was supposed to be different. He was the new boyfriend -- young, cooler, hip, not like everybody else. GUILFOYLE: He lied (ph). GUTFELD: It turns he is far worse than the old, fat, ex-boyfriend. He just was better at hiding the flaws, which I admire. BOLLING: Let's roll the little sound of Joe Soptic, the guy who's in the ad, featured in the ad saying that because of Mitt Romney, I lost my job and subsequentlt my wife lost her battle with cancer. He basically tied the two together. But here he is from January -- went back and looked at this in January talking about this buyout. Go ahead and roll it.

But nobody said -- the president didn't say, none of his aids said. It's -- (CROSSTALK) PERINO: It's just a wink and a nod. WILLIAMS: Oh it's a wink and a nod on this, but not on anything the right wing does to Obama. No, never. GUTFELD: It's a wink with Tourette syndrome. BOLLING: Dana, get involved in corporate takeovers on both sides, the takeover and takeoveree. And most of the times as Kimberly points out, there's a severance. Usually on plant workers if you shut down a plant, there's a one-week, two-week severance. This guy actually admits that Mitt Romney and Bain Capital were willing to go one step further and buy the guys out, which probably meant, keep them under insurance for a while as well. I think this guy, this -- what we just uncovered, proves that Joe Soptic isn't about being mad at Bain Capital and being mad at Romney. He's about Obama. He's about Obama. GUILFOYLE: That's what this is all about. So, there you go. WILLIAMS: You mean he wants Obama reelected. BOLLING: I think this is all politics. GUILFOYLE: And if you want to keep your insurance, go take the buyout. WILLIAMS: That's what you were talking about last night. That just occurred to you? BOLLING: Why would you use your dead wife -- (CROSSTALK) PERINO: It's not that dissimilar to Cindy Sheehan in 2005, if you remember one of the things the left did with her is she had -- she had a grievance and she was heartbroken because her son had died in the war. She met with the president one time before. Of course, the Democrats, they don't check their facts, OK? So then they hold this whole thing, she wants to meet with the president. But you met with him before. And it's like, oh, well -- they string her along for years. Now, she's on her own. She has no friends left in the world. They just use people and I think it's sad. WILLIAMS: What happened with the Swiftboating of John Kerry? BOLLING: Hold on, but I have to ask Greg. Is Joe Soptic another Sandra Fluke? GUTFELD: No, he'll be used up. He's a prop. That's all he is. And Obama knows the best defense is a good offense. This is offensive. PERINO: I'm just waiting for the -- your mama wears combat boots ad. (LAUGHTER) GUTFELD: My mom did wear combat boots. BOLLING: She did? GUTFELD: Yes. BOLLING: Love your mom. WILLIAMS: So cute. I thought she was delightful. BOLLING: All right. Mr. President, take a break from your fundraising, get off the golf course and denounce these gorilla political ads. It is unbecoming of the office.

So, it's really creating another multilateral lending institution."</p> <!-- --> <div class="article-meta"><!-- --></div></div> | As NATO member states struggle to meet their defense spending goals and war rages on Europe's eastern front, officials are struggling to agree on a plan to shore up hundreds of billions of dollars to bolster defenses. Eight NATO countries did not meet their 2% target for defense spending in 2024. And as many member states struggle with chronically stressed budgets, calls to meet those goals are not being heeded quickly. The European Commission estimates about 500 billion euros, the equivalent of $524 billion in investments, are needed in the coming decade to defend Europe against evolving threats. NATO LEADERS PREDICT ERA OF 2% DEFENSE SPENDING 'PROBABLY HISTORY' AS TRUMP REPORTEDLY FLOATS HIGHER TARGET The EU's budget cannot be used to fund defense directly, and some European officials and NATO experts are proposing a global defense bank to dole out funds for military modernization. A defense, security and resilience (DSR) bank would issue bonds backed by AAA ratings for financially strapped countries to upgrade their defenses and would provide guarantees for commercial banks to offer credit to defense suppliers. "This is not a substitute to raising defense spending in each of these countries. I think it should be a supplemental tool," Giedrimas Jeglinskas, chairman of the national security committee in the Lithuanian parliament and a former NATO official, told Fox News Digital. His remarks echo those of incoming President Trump, who has long threatened to pull the U.S. out of NATO due to the number of nations missing the mark on the 2% goal for defense spending. "I think we have to look at it also as an opportunity for the U.S. as well," Jeglinskas added. "I understand the skepticism by Donald Trump of the World Bank and then the IMF [International Monetary Fund] and IFC [International Finance Corporation] and other institutions. I think there's been a lot of capital deployed and a lot of investments that these banks or institutions do. The real impact is, at best, questionable. So, I think we have to have very clear KPIs [key performance indicators]. We need to build defense." The United States' $824 billion defense budget in 2023 equaled half of total defense spending by all NATO member states combined at $1.47 trillion. PUTIN SAYS RUSSIA READY TO COMPROMISE WITH TRUMP ON UKRAINE WAR The return of Trump to the White House, coupled with a U.S. push to refocus on China, has left Europeans wondering whether the U.S. will have less of an appetite to defend Europe in years to come. More EU defense chiefs and foreign ministers have pitched the idea of issuing joint debt through bonds to finance military projects. But some countries like Germany have voiced concerns about maintaining their own sovereignty and a disproportionate financial burden on some countries. The DSR bank idea is explained at length in a new Atlantic Council report by defense fellow Rob Murray. "For allies across both the Euro-Atlantic and Indo-Pacific regions, the bank could go beyond offering low-interest loans for defense modernization to facilitating equipment leasing, currency hedging, and supporting critical infrastructure and rebuilding efforts in conflict zones like Ukraine," Murray wrote. "An additional critical function of the DSR bank would be to underwrite the risk for commercial banks, enabling them to extend financing to defense companies across the supply chain." The goal would be to offer financing to small and medium-sized defense companies that often struggle with access to funds. "By providing loans with extended maturities, the bank would offer predictable and sustainable funding for defence modernisation. Its governance structures would align funding with collective security goals, such as upgrading arsenals and investing in emerging technologies," Jeglinskas wrote in a recent op-ed for the Financial Times. Asked how the DSR bank would get countries to agree on defense funding priorities, Jeglinskas likened the idea to the U.K.-led Joint Expeditionary Force, a military alliance that includes Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden. Jeglinskas noted the 33 trillion euros in European assets under management across the continent. "There's really no political will, no risk appetite to move them anywhere besides the kind of bond markets where they rest now," he said. "But several nations need to build that initial capital, and then, by using the sovereign rating to get to hopefully AAA in capital markets, raise that money from bond markets and to start funding defense programs." The European Investment Bank has doled out long-term loans and guarantees to European nations' projects that align with EU policy goals. "But even they are struggling with kind of shifting their mandate towards more dual-use technologies is still not allowed in their funding package," said Jeglinskas.

Russia's Olympic committee is laying claim to over a dozen athletes born in once-Soviet Ukraine. And it's sparked an outcry in Kiev, the Ukrainian capital. Some athletes are listed as born in the "Ukraine region" of Russia, while others are listed as coming from the Ukrainian cities of Lutsk and Lviv, which were described as Russian. Similar mistakes were made for Georgia-born athletes. Russia's Olympic Committee is now working to correct the data. But it's done little to appease widespread resentment as a result of centuries of Russian dominance which ended when Ukraine gained its independence in 1991. — Vladimir Isachenkov — Twitter http://twitter.com/visachenkov ___ POSITIVE DRUG TEST A Greek athlete has failed a doping test and is out of the Olympics. High jump champion Dimitris Chondrokoukis has tested positive for the steroid stanozolol. His father — and coach — says the news is "surreal" and is asking for a follow-up test. — Graham Dunbar — Twitter http://twitter.com/gdunbarap ___ NO HIJAB The ruling has come down: Saudi Arabia's female judo competitor will not be allowed to wear a hijab during her matches. Asian judo federations allow them, but in London the veil has been deemed dangerous. Judo includes strangleholds and chokeholds — and organizers think that could prove even more painful if there's something to tug. They also think judo should be free of religion and politics. Wojdan Ali Seraj Abdulrahim Shahrkhani is one of two female Saudi athletes here. The kingdom is allowing them to compete after the International Olympic Committee and human rights groups exerted intense pressure for an end to its practice of sending all-male teams to the games. — Maria Cheng — Twitter http://twitter.com/mylcheng ___ MORE ON THAT ALERT People are being let back into the mall.

An alarm is sounding. People are gathering outside and being forbidden to go back in. — Diana Ingram ___ TICKETS, ANYONE? The line to pick up event tickets at the City of Westminster College will-call is snaking through the campus Thursday with fans anxious to get their hands on the prized item. Among them: Michael Perkowski, a contractor for the U.S. military who drove directly to get his tickets after his plane touched down from Afghanistan. Perkowski says his ticket-buying odyssey began 18 months ago when he was working for the Army in Iraq. He went through the early bidding process and finally scored tickets to three of his 24 choices within the last few months. Now in Afghanistan working with the U.S. Marine Corps, he says he was coming to the Games regardless of what tickets he landed. "I don't take too many vacations, so I was doing this no matter what," he says. "We took that long flight, drove forever to come straight here but I don't care. It's all worth it."

As technicians busily dragged cables around the outside of the temporary 12,000-seat structure, where the preliminary rounds are being played, I coolly walked in and watched a few minutes of the Angola women's team practice. The unique building, erected in just three months, is covered in a white stretch material that will be used for light projections during the games. Its architectural style is similar to the Water Cube swimming complex in Beijing. Feeling a bit guilty after my self-guided mini tour, I confessed to one of the media leaders that I had already been inside. He didn't seem to mind. "Cheers," he said. — Tom Withers — Twitter http://twitter.com/twithersAP ___ OLYMPIC LOVE Captain Mark Phillips, Princess Anne's former husband, has spoken of his new relationship with a woman almost 30 years his junior. The 63-year-old, a top coach for the U.S. equestrian team, separated from his second wife, Sandy, and began divorce proceedings earlier this year after falling for fellow equestrian Lauren Hough, 35. Phillips, whose daughter Zara is competing in Team GB's equestrian events, has faced criticism and calls for his resignation over his affair with Hough, who is also a member of the American team's coaching staff. After the Olympics, he will leave his job. But he says it's not because of criticism in the United States. He told Country Life magazine: "I don't read chatrooms and all that rubbish as it's mostly uninformed and unidentified opinion, which won't change my life. He's clear about one thing: "I'm not out to win a popularity contest." ___ CAMERON ON THE FLAG FLAP "This was an honest mistake, honestly made, an apology has been made and I'm sure every step will be taken to make sure these things don't happen again. We shouldn't overinflate this episode. It was unfortunate, it shouldn't have happened and I think we can leave it at that." — British Prime Minister David Cameron, on the mistake made Wednesday night when a South Korean flag was displayed alongside a North Korean player's picture on a scoreboard before a soccer game. — Rob Harris — Twitter http://twitter.com/robharris ___ COOL CUSTOMER "We have no air conditioning, but it's OK, because in France we are used to having no air conditioning. So we are not lost." — French swimmer Hughes Dubosc, at an appearance with his sponsor. — Andrew Dampf — Twitter http://twitter.com/andrewdampfap ___ GRIDLOCK — LESSON LEARNED AP's Fergus Bell, a Londoner, reports in from the crowded streets of his city: I took a taxi journey into central London. I usually take the train or Tube because I think they are faster when there are no known problems on the line. Today, with a couple of bags in tow, I had no choice. It should have taken me 32 minutes, according to a quick online route search. It didn't. OK, I knew that figure was a bit optimistic. But I wasn't expecting the driver — who knows the roads very well — to get confused by all the new Olympic lanes, end up going a very different route from the one he was expecting. I ended up in the back seat acting as navigator with maps pulled up on my tablet checking which roads were clear. The result: after 1 1/2 hours in the car and still the wrong side of central London I abandoned the driver to his fate. Bags and all, I jumped out at an underground station and took a delightfully smooth 12-minute journey to my destination and learned a lesson: Stick to what you know and trust your instincts. — Fergus Bell — Twitter http://twitter.com/fergb ___ PICTURE PERFECT With one day to go before the opening ceremony, no detail is being left untouched. Or unpainted. A board was put up Wednesday to hide some unsightly gray scaffolding in front of the press seats at the gymnastics venue. On Thursday, a worker was painting the board purple so it would blend in with the rest of the signage. — Nancy Armour — Twitter http://twitter.com/nrarmour ___ CAMERON ON THE OPENING CEREMONY "I'd have thought the difficulty is, how do you cram in all that's great about our country?" He says viewers will find moments of it "spine-tingling" and said he's been moved by the parts he's seen. The ceremony, directed by Danny Boyle, is expected to take a global audience on an intensely visual, occasionally whimsical tour through Britain's history. — Rob Harris — Twitter http://twitter.com/robharris ___ ONE FOR THE BOOKS — "This is the biggest security operation in a peacetime history, bar none." — British Prime Minister David Cameron, speaking at Olympic Park. — Rob Harris — Twitter http://twitter.com/robharris ___ FROM THE PRIME MINISTER — "Our absolute top priority must be to keep people safe." — British Prime Minister David Cameron, who has just spoken at Olympic Park about the upcoming games. Here are a few more quick bites of what he had to say: — "We are delivering a world-class games, a well-connected games." — "Our intelligence services are working around the clock." — "We want these to be the games that lift up the city, lift up the country." — Rob Harris — Twitter http://twitter.com/robharris ___ GELDOF'S GRUMBLINGS Not everyone in London is looking forward to the Olympics. Bob Geldof, the former Boomtown Rats frontman and "Live Aid" charity fund-raiser, confirmed his contrarian reputation when asked at a reception for boxing legend Muhammad Ali if he was excited about the games. "Nope." No sport he was excited about? "The egg and spoon race." But, Geldof conceded, the games have at least brought much-needed regeneration to a post-industrial swath of east London — transformed from gritty to green by the 500-acre (200-hectare) Olympic Park. "That was a pretty crap part of town, no matter what anyone says," Geldof said. "Now it's nice." — Jill Lawless — Twitter http://twitter.com/JillLawless ___ A SPANISH OLYMPICS? As the debt-ridden Spanish government hovers on the brink of needing a sovereign bailout, the country is continuing to pursue a bid for the 2020 Olympics. Spanish sports secretary Miguel Cardenal maintains that Madrid winning the Olympics after two failed bids would help the country's economic recovery. "The Spanish state is calling for its citizens to tighten its belts to accept the need for a degree of sacrifice and the measures are certainly painful," Cardenal said in London. "But we would nevertheless pursue this project," he said, saying that "this is something that will boost our aspirations to have a sustainable economy." Bidding again, Cardenal insists Madrid will only spend where "absolutely necessary," but pointed out that much of the infrastructure is already in place. "All of us will have to be very careful indeed in the way we use public funds," Madrid mayor Ana Botella added. Missing out on the London Games, which start on Friday, appears to have been good fortune for a Spanish government struggling to keep a handle on its debts. Now there's time for a recovery in the Spanish economy long before 2020. Madrid is competing against Istanbul and Tokyo. The host of the 2020 Olympics and Paralympic Games will be announced on Sept. 7, 2013 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. — Rob Harris — Twitter http://twitter.com/robharris ___ EDITOR'S NOTE — "Eyes on London" shows you the Olympics through the eyes of Associated Press journalists across the 2012 Olympic city and around the world.

The Shiite leader appeared to back down from previous opposition to handing neighboring nations a say in Iraqi affairs but stressed that the conference would be held in Iraq, and that while his government would welcome help, it would not tolerate interference. "After the political climate is cleared, we will call for the convening of a regional conference in which these countries that are keen on the stability and security of Iraq will participate," he said. In new bloodshed, suspected insurgents set off a car bomb to stop a minibus carrying Shiite government employees in Baghdad, then shot and killed 15 of them, the government said. In another attack in the capital on Tuesday, two car bombs exploded in a commercial district, killing 15 other Iraqis, police said. The U.S. command said an insurgent attack on an American military patrol in Baghdad on Monday killed one soldier and wounded five. Another U.S. serviceman died in southern Iraq on Monday in an accident involving his vehicle. Click here to go to FOXNews.com's Iraq Center. Al-Maliki's statement came a day before the Iraq Study Group, headed by former Secretary of State James A. Baker III and former Rep. Lee Hamilton, D-Ind., is to release recommendations on changing U.S. strategy in Iraq. Those are expected to include a suggestion to engage Iraq's neighboring nations, including U.S. adversaries Iran and Syria, in the search for an end to the violence in Iraq. It also is expected to recommend gradually changing the mission of U.S. troops from combat to training and supporting Iraqi units, with a goal of withdrawing the Americans by early 2008. Other Shiite politicians, including Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, who leads the largest Shiite bloc in Iraq's parliament, have in recent days rejected a suggestion for an international conference by U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan. The outgoing U.N. chief said such a gathering could be useful if the political parties involved met outside Iraq. Al-Maliki said the proposed regional conference would be held in Iraq at the invitation of his government and would offer help, rather than solutions, to his government's ongoing efforts to curb spiraling sectarian violence. Al-Maliki also said a frequently delayed national reconciliation conference designed to rally the country's various ethnic, religious and political groups around a common strategy for handling Iraq's problems would be held later this month. He added that he planned to shortly announce a reshuffle of his six-month-old government "to boost the effectiveness and strength of the national unity government," but he gave no details. The latest American deaths came after a weekend in which 13 American service members died in Iraq, including four whose Sea Knight helicopter plunged into a lake in volatile Anbar province, the military said. The Defense Department identified one of the four dead as Army Spc. Dustin M. Adkins, 22, of Finger, Tenn., who was assigned to the Group Support Battalion, 5th Special Forces Group, Fort Campbell, Ky. In northern Baghdad, gunmen set off a car bomb to intercept a minibus carrying employees of the Shiite Endowment, a government agency that cares for Shiite mosques in Iraq, to work, the organization said. The gunmen then opened fire on the workers, killing 15 of them and wounding seven, said Salah Abdul-Razzaq, an Endowment spokesman. AP Television News video showed shattered glass and shoes in the middle of the highway, with the burned-out hulk of the car that exploded on the side of the road. A similar attack occurred late last month in southern Iraq against the Sunni Endowment, the government agency that cares for Sunni Arab mosques in Iraq. On Nov. 30, gunmen fired at a convoy carrying an official from that agency, killing him and three of his bodyguards, police said. The attack, which also wounded two bodyguards, occurred in Basra, the largest city in mostly Shiite southern Iraq, a police spokesman said. Nasir Gatami, the official who died, was the deputy of the Sunni Endowment chapter in Basra. All the victims were Sunnis.

In another attack in the capital on Tuesday, two car bombs exploded near one another in western Baghdad, killing at least 15 people and wounding 25, police said. The explosions occurred at about 9:45 a.m. near a gas station in Baiyaa, a commercial area of the capital with a mixed Sunni Arab and Shiite population, a policeman said on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the media. On Monday, insurgents attacked a U.S. Army patrol in Baghdad as it was trying to control the movement of insurgents and enforce curfew restrictions in a northeastern neighborhood of the capital, the military said. In southern Iraq, a 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) soldier died Monday when his M-1117 Armored Security Vehicle rolled over north of Camp Adder, which is 200 miles southwest of Baghdad, the military said. The deaths raised to at least 2,904 the number of members of the U.S. military who have died since the beginning of the war in 2003, according to an AP count.

A 34-page document filed Tuesday before Bundy appears for a detention hearing in Portland says the 69-year-old should stay behind bars because he doesn't recognize federal authority. His charges stem from an armed 2014 standoff with federal officials trying to round up cattle grazing illegally near his ranch in Nevada. Bundy was arrested in Oregon last week when he arrived to support his sons, Ammon and Ryan Bundy, who are accused of leading a weekslong occupation at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. The brothers are jailed. It's unclear who will represent Cliven Bundy. He has asked for a court-appointed attorney last week, but a judge said she wanted to see financial documents first. ____ 8:30 a.m. A Nevada rancher is returning to court to seek his release from jail in Oregon, where he went to support the armed occupation of a national wildlife preserve. Cliven Bundy has a detention hearing set for Tuesday, when a federal judge will decide whether to allow him to go home as he awaits trial. Prosecutors said last week that he should stay behind bars because they didn't expect him to show up for future court dates. Bundy was arrested in Portland last week on charges stemming from a 2014 armed standoff that forced federal officials to release cattle being rounded up near his Nevada ranch. The 69-year-old came to Oregon to support the weekslong occupation at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge launched by his now-jailed sons, Ammon and Ryan Bundy. | 70587913-e28b-5b5c-8d54-36f0b6e8c2ac | 05/19/25 |

The 1,000-page novel, set in Georgia during the Civil War and in the Reconstruction era, told the tale of Scarlett O'Hara, a southern belle from a wealthy family who lost nearly everything during the war. The book was a smashing success: It was the bestselling fiction book in the United States in both 1936 and 1937. ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, JUNE 29, 2007, THE FIRST IPHONE GOES ON SALE "Gone with the Wind" won the 1936 National Book Award for "Most Distinguished Novel" as well as the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1937, multiple sources note. Mitchell, who was born and raised in Atlanta, died a tragic death in 1949 at the age of 48. She was hit by a taxi while crossing the street. "Gone with the Wind" was her only published novel during her lifetime. Nearly 90 years after its publication, "Gone with the Wind" remains popular in the United States, although it has come under recent controversy. ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, MAY 3, 1937, MARGARET MITCHELL'S CIVIL WAR SAGA 'GONE WITH THE WIND' WINS PULITZER In 2020, the movie was removed from HBO Max (now called "Max") in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd in 2020. WarnerMedia chief Bob Greenblatt said at the time that a disclaimer would be added regarding "racist depictions" throughout the film. A 2022 edition of the book also came with a lengthy warning about the contents — namely, the depiction of slavery and other stereotypes. "‘Gone with the Wind’ is a novel which includes problematic elements including the romanticization of a shocking era in our history and the horrors of slavery. The novel includes the representation of unacceptable practices, racist and stereotypical depictions and troubling themes, characterization, language and imagery," publisher Pan Macmillan wrote. UNEARTHED SHOOTING SCRIPT FROM 'GONE WITH THE WIND' SHOWS SCENES DEPICTING HORRORS OF SLAVERY The text of the novel, however, "remains true to the original in every way and is reflective of the language and period in which it was originally written," said the publisher. In May 2014, the polling firm Harris found that while the Bible was "America's favorite book," the No. 2 choice was "Gone with the Wind" — followed by the much more recent Harry Potter series. A second Harris poll, conducted in December 2014, found that "Gone with the Wind" was America's favorite movie. On Dec. 15, 1939, less than 3.5 years after the book was published, the film adaptation of "Gone with the Wind" was released in movie theaters.

"The illicit drug selling and use, as well as other quality of life issues, has made the underpass unwelcoming and in some days unwalkable," City Council Member Oswald Feliz, a Democrat, wrote in a Nov. 25 letter sent to the city's Department of Transportation and obtained by the New York Post. THIS NEW YORK MOM NAVIGATES DRUG USERS TO GET HER KID TO SCHOOL. WATCH: The Kingsbridge D-train station underpass — a pathway below the tracks that connects the two sides — has become a hotspot for the New York's growing drug epidemic. Illicit dealing and abuse is increasingly seen across the Bronx-based subway station along with needles and trash covering the walkway, leading residents and local parents to feel unsafe, the New York Post reported. "It’s not safe," Draya Michelle, the mother of a 2-year-old girl, told the Post. "I take the Metro North just to avoid coming up this way, and I wouldn’t recommend anyone going down into that underpass because you don’t know what’s going to happen to you."

Arizona captain Shane Doan played in his 1,378th NHL game, passing Joe Sakic, Vincent Damphousse and Dean Prentice for 39th place on the NHL all-time games played list.</p> <!-- --> <div class="article-meta"><!-- --></div></div> | Glendale, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) - Carey Price turned aside all 29 shots fired his way for his seventh shutout of the season in the Montreal Canadiens' 2-0 win over the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday. Price stopped five shots in the first period, eight during the middle stanza and 16 in the third for his 32nd career shutout. "It was a hard-earned two points," said Price. "We are looking forward to closing out the year on a strong note." Lars Eller and Brendan Gallagher each scored for the Canadiens, who ended a three-game skid and their four-game Western Conference road trip. Mike Smith made 33 saves in his eight straight start for the Coyotes, who have lost 11 of their last 12 games. "We couldn't find the one to get us back in the game," Arizona head coach Dave Tippett said. "We didn't execute as well as I thought we could've." The Canadiens outshot the Coyotes 15-5, but weren't able to cash in over the opening 20 minutes. Devante Smith-Pelly skated down to the goal and slipped a slick backhanded pass to Eller, who scored the game's first goal on a turnaround shot from the right circle with 5:12 left in the second period. In the third, Price made multiple pad stops at the side of the net, but the puck landed on top of his pad and appeared to cross the goal line. The referee immediately signaled that it was no goal since Price was pushed into his net. Arizona pulled Smith with over a minute to play, but Gallagher scored on the vacated cage to seal the win. Game Notes Price improved to 7-0-0 against the Coyotes ...

The Clippers took control late in the first half, with the crowd loudly booing the Knicks after allowing another uncontested layup at one point en route to a 58-47 halftime deficit. Notes: The Clippers continue their trip Friday in Cleveland, where the Cavaliers will be trying to end their NBA-record, 26-game losing streak. Jordan had been averaging only 4.0 points in the Clippers' first four games in February. ... The Knicks face the other Los Angeles team next, hosting the Lakers on Friday. | 8daee782-9be0-5b0d-91eb-d1bb61e14551 | 05/19/25 |

Sources told the New York Post that the woman lost "approximately 20 pounds of flesh" due to the gruesome bite. The outlet also obtained a photo showing a large chunk of flesh missing from her left thigh. "We hope for a full recovery for this swimmer. Though this was a frightening event, we want to remind New Yorkers that shark attacks in Rockaway are extremely rare. We remain vigilant in monitoring the beach and always clear the water when a shark is spotted," the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation said in a statement to Fox News Tuesday morning. Rockaway Beach will remain closed to swimming and surfing Tuesday due to the recent shark activity, officials said. Parks Enforcement and the New York City Police Department will be patrolling the beach to keep swimmers out of the water, and the New York City Fire Department and NYPD will be doing aerial surveillance of the beach to monitor for sharks. Before Monday evening, NYC officials said there had been no reports of shark bites on Rockaway Beach in recent memory. At approximately 5:50 p.m., a female swimming at Beach 59th Street in Rockaway was bitten by a shark in the left leg. NEW YORK TEENAGER BITTEN BY SHARK WHILE SURFING OFF FIRE ISLAND Parks lifeguards removed the patron from the water and administered first aid. The woman was transported by EMS to Jamaica Hospital in critical condition, officials said. As of Tuesday morning, officials said her condition is now serious/non-life threatening. While the waters remain clear at Rockaway so far Tuesday, there was a possible shark sighting on neighboring Long Island. Officials reported the possible shark sighting 10 yards out at Jones Beach State Park Tuesday. Swimming is currently prohibited in the Central Mall area of Jones Beach from East Bathhouse and West Bathhouse. Following the Rockaway incident, lifeguards cleared all patrons from the water, and NYPD canvassed after the incident via helicopter, but did not observe any sharks. The city's fire department previously confirmed to Fox News Digital that the woman, age 50, suffered a shark bite to the leg and was transported to Jamaica Hospital Monday evening.

People like them. At least for the moment. For the first time since 2005, a Gallup poll shows more Americans have a positive opinion than a negative one about the Republican Party. The poll released Thursday showed 47 percent of those surveyed had a favorable impression of Republicans, versus 43 percent who had an unfavorable one. It might sound like a lukewarm endorsement, but compare that with their score in 2008, when 61 percent registered distaste for Republicans. The party has been dragging in the realm of public opinion since before the 2006 midterm elections, when Democrats took back Congress, temporarily, during the Bush administration. Though Republicans made historic gains in Congress last November, they were still widely disliked by the public throughout the campaign season. As for the latest uptick, Gallup warned that the party will have to sustain its support before declaring any kind of image rebound. Democrats are currently pulling similar support, with 47 percent of people reporting negative views of the party and 46 percent reporting positive views. But Democrats' numbers have been trending down since 2009, while Republicans' ratings have been gradually trending up. The poll of 1,032 adults was conducted Jan. 14-16. It had a margin of error of 4 percentage points. | 4b4e25bf-d0d0-54d8-ba4a-590447d0b25c | 05/19/25 |

Police initially charged Laura Rideout with evidence tampering after her husband's body was found. Soon afterward sons Alexander, 20, and Colin, 23, were arrested on the same charges after witnesses told police they saw the brothers throwing a bag with solvents, gloves and drain cleaner into a pond at a suburban Rochester park the day after the slaying. The mother, two sons and Tucci were later charged with second-degree murder. | 42dd86d3-7edc-5a66-a062-330f39db25b2 | 05/19/25 |

Fox 26 Houston reported Saturday that deputies with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office were called to an intersection in northwest Houston around 10 p.m. on Friday night and found an unidentified man dead. Police believe the man was dancing in the middle of the street when he was struck by a big rig driven by an individual who stopped a short distance later and cooperated with officers. The outlet reported that poor lighting played a factor in the incident and that the family of the man confirmed he was having mental health issues and had suffered an episode earlier in the day. TEXAS TRAIN DERAILS IN COLLISION WITH 18-WHEELER, LEAVING DRIVER DEAD In a statement to Fox News Digital, the Harris County Sheriff's Office identified the driver as Gabriel Valdez and say he was operating a 2005 Peterbilt truck tractor pulling a flatbed trailer. "Valdez was traveling eastbound at the 8400 block of Breen Drive," the statement said. "Eric Becker was standing in the roadway at the 8400 block of Breen Drive. Becker was reported to have been jumping in front of vehicles driving in the area. Valdez struck Becker with his Peterbilt truck tractor in the eastbound traffic lane." TEXAS FUNERAL HOME SUED AFTER MAN'S BODY LEFT 'TO LITERALLY ROT' FOR DAYS DURING WINTER STORM Police say Valdez showed no signs of being impaired and was released at the scene. The incident is currently being investigated by the Harris County Sheriff's Office and no further details were immediately shared.

Kennedy on November 22, 1963 in Dallas. Following the assassination, President Lyndon Johnson dispatched a commission led by then-Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren to investigate the crime. Then-future Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter, who was on the commission's staff, is widely credited with formulating the single-bullet theory – that several of the wounds to Kennedy and Texas Democratic Gov. John Connally were caused by the same round. FOX News host Jesse Watters reported Landis had discovered a bullet still intact and lodged in the leather rear seat of the presidential vehicle. He pocketed the round amid the chaos and later placed it on Kennedy's stretcher after arriving at Parkland Hospital. RFK JR DOUBLES DOWN ON ALLEGATION CIA INVOLVED IN JFK ASSASSINATION: ‘60-YEAR COVER-UP’ However, the round was ultimately found on Connally's stretcher, which Watters said led the Warren Commission to assume it had exited Connally's body – and therefore provided the basis for the theory that the bullet had "magic[ally]" caused extensive damage to both Kennedy and Connally in otherwise incongruous parts of their bodies. Landis, who was assigned to first lady Jacqueline Kennedy, told "Jesse Watters Primetime" he took the swift action in fear that souvenir hunters or other individuals would take off with the bullet, after he found it lodged in the limo's upholstery. On coming forward with interviews and his forthcoming memoir, "The Final Witness," Landis said "it just happened." "I reached the point where I had not talked about the bullet… I did not read the Warren Commission [report] until four years ago," Landis said Monday on "Jesse Watters Primetime." He said that despite his purported placing of the bullet on Kennedy's stretcher and it somehow finding its way onto Connally's -- through collision of bumping of gurneys or some other maneuver -- he trusted the outcome of the Warren report, which had been based on the supposition the round instead had naturally fallen out of the governor's body. "I just accepted the fact that whatever they were talking about a ‘magic bullet’, I figured they had to have it right," he said. RFK JR ONCE AGAIN CHALLENGES BIDEN TO DEBATE, IF HE'S ‘IN GOOD SHAPE’ Landis said the commission never interviewed him during its investigation, adding that he also has not seen evidence to change his mind from believing that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin. On the day of the assassination, Landis was a few feet behind Kennedy's vehicle when the shots rang out. He recounted to Watters being in close proximity the moment one of the rounds struck Kennedy's head and "exploded." "I heard the first shot [and] turned, looked over my right shoulder where the sound came from; turned back. I looked at President Kennedy. He was leaning slightly to his left and he had his arms raised up towards his throat. But I just thought the first shot hit him," Landis recalled. "But I was quickly scanning around. And then a few seconds later… I heard a second shot. I [was] still looking at the limo, I saw no reaction. Everybody seemed to be the same." He recounted watching his partner Clint Hill jump on Kennedy's limo, when a third shot rang out and the president's head "exploded." Landis ducked as his vehicle drove through "the mist of blood and flesh and brain matter." "At that point we zoomed through the underpass and headed to Parkland Hospital," he said. Oswald reportedly used a C2766 Mannlicher-Carcano rifle, which was found on the Texas School Book Depository's sixth floor, above the street where Kennedy was killed. Over the weekend, JFK's nephew, Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was in Los Angeles when an armed man was detained after impersonating a U.S. Marshal at his campaign event. CLICK TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP On "The Story" Monday afternoon, Kennedy campaign manager Dennis Kucinich – a former Ohio Democratic congressman – said the incident plus Kennedy's family history of assassinations is even more reason why President Biden should approve Secret Service protection for him. "We do not want to go through what this country went through when President Kennedy was assassinated," Kucinich said, adding that then-Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., received USSS protection much earlier than the semi-standard 120-day window. The Secret Service has said it cannot independently deem which individuals are to be protected.

We previously would have defined literacy using terms like reading, writing, speaking and listening and referenced the use of paper, pencils, books and telephones to communicate and disseminate information. But these are just tools. Literacy is much more complicated, and it is growing more complex all the time. Today, mobile devices like cell phones and tablets are popular vehicles and they have transformed the way we define literacy, even in the last 10 years. On March 2, many young children, their parents and teachers will no doubt celebrate Read Across America Day to honor one of our greatest authors, Dr. Seuss. But if he were to write his classics today, would they come in the form we know them best?

Liz Cheney easily crushed a push to strip her of her number-three House GOP leadership position over her vote last month to impeach then-President Trump. Cheney won the support of 145 members of the House Republican Conference Wednesday night, with just 61 Trump loyalists voting to remove her from her leadership role during a secret ballot vote amid a four-hour-long, tense, closed-door meeting. CHENEY EASILY SURVIVES PUSH BY TRUMP LOYALISTS TO STRIP HER OF HER HOUSE GOP LEADERSHIP POSITION But back home in Wyoming, Cheney still faces troubles in a state Trump won by roughly 44 points over now-President Biden in last November’s presidential election. The three-term statewide congresswoman and daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney has been censured by at least a dozen county-level Republican committees across the Cowboy State, with the Wyoming Republican Party likely to vote on censuring Cheney when it meets this weekend. Cheney’s also facing at least one primary challenge when she’s up for re-election next year. And the anti-Cheney effort will likely be bankrolled in part by Trump and his allies. The congresswoman, who’s followed in the footsteps of her father in advocating for a hawkish and muscular U.S. role overseas, was a vocal critic of Trump’s "America First" policies of limiting the use of American troops in international conflicts. And she was a veteran of numerous clashes with Trump and his allies during his four years in the White House But Cheney came under fire this year over her vote three weeks ago to impeach Trump on a charge of inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by right-wing extremists and other Trump supporters. Cheney was the most senior of 10 Republicans who joined all 222 House Democrats to impeach Trump, with 197 GOP representatives voting against impeachment. On the eve of the impeachment vote, the three-term congresswoman from Wyoming said Trump "summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack." She stressed that "there has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution." GAETZ BLASTS CHENEY OVER TRUMP IMPEACHMENT AT WYOMING RALLY Heading into the gathering, the anti-Cheney ringleaders said that more than half of all House Republicans would back a potential resolution to strip her of her position. But thanks in part to a strong show of support from House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy, and to the vote being a secret ballot, the mass opposition to Cheney appeared to deteriorate. While her leadership role in Congress is safe for now, Cheney’s trying to make peace with the Wyoming Republicans. In a statement to the Sheridan Press and County 17 News in Gillette, Cheney reiterated that her "vote to impeach was compelled by the oath I swore to the Constitution. Wyoming citizens know that this oath does not bend or yield to politics or partisanship." And she highlighted that "I will always fight for Wyoming values and stand up for our Western way of life. We have great challenges ahead of us as we move forward and combat the disastrous policies of the Biden Administration. I look forward to continuing to work with officials and citizens across Wyoming to be the most effective voice and advocate in defense of our families, industries and communities." But Cheney still faces political headaches. TRUMP ADVISER SAYS FORMER PRESIDENT WILL BE 'ACTIVELY INVOLVED' IN SUPPORTING GOP PRIMARY CHALLENGES Trump, who remains very popular with Republican voters, has vowed to remain extremely active in GOP politics going forward, promising to support primary challenges to Republicans up for re-election in 2022 who’ve crossed him in the past. Last week, top Trump political adviser Corey Lewandowski launched a new PAC named "Fight Back Now America" to support Trump’s mission. Its first target: Cheney. Lewandowski, who managed Trump’s 2016 presidential primary campaign and served as a top consultant on the 2020 re-election effort, told Fox News last week that the former president "will continue to be actively involved in recruiting candidates and holding elected officials accountable for their votes." Last week, the former president’s political action committee, Save America, released a poll that suggested that Cheney was politically wounded among Republicans by her vote to impeach Trump. Pointing to the poll, Lewandowski emphasized, "I think that Liz Cheney is realizing that in a state that has about a plus-64 Republican rating – some argue the most Republican or conservative state in the country – there are real repercussions for voting to impeach someone based on words." The survey was showcased hours after it was released by Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, a top Trump ally, who took aim at Cheney at a large rally on the steps of the Wyoming Capitol. "Liz Cheney is less popular among Republicans in her own state than Muammar Gaddafi was among the Libyans," Gaetz cracked. Donald Trump Jr. called into the rally to also attack Cheney. Pointing to her father’s infamous hunting accident, when the then-vice president wounded a friend, Trump’s eldest son argued: "It seems like Liz Cheney’s favorables there are only slightly worse than her father’s shooting skills." A Republican source with knowledge of Trump Jr.’s political thought process told Fox News that "Don’s focus in 2022 will be on the Democrats, to help the GOP retake the House and Senate. It’s not Don’s wish to see an all-encompassing Republican civil war, but he views Liz Cheney to the exception to that rule." A Republican strategist in the former president’s orbit pointed to a new national poll released this week that suggested Cheney was immensely unpopular with Republican voters. "You don’t survive with those kind of numbers," the strategist told Fox News. While Trump world will be able to raise and invest big bucks to target Cheney, she will likely be able to keep competitive in fundraising. Even without any serious opposition last year, the congresswoman raised $3 million for her re-election campaign. Cheney’s already facing a primary challenge from state Sen. Anthony Bouchard, with others also mulling whether to jump into the race. Multiple challenges would likely help Cheney survive. At last week’s rally, Trump Jr. warned against dividing the anti-Cheney vote in next year’s primary, saying, "Let’s not split this vote up and blow an opportunity to get rid of a RINO." RINO is the acronym for "Republican in name only." While Gaetz’s rally drew a large anti-Cheney crowd, the congresswoman still has many allies in Wyoming. A week and a half ago, 30 Wyoming lawyers and judges ---including three of the state's former governors, two former state Supreme Court justices, and a former state attorney general -- joined in an op-ed in the Casper Star-Tribune commending Cheney for following her constitutional duty. | 5345af57-0e70-5667-90e8-26f1ebbe1e24 | 05/19/25 |

Story tips can be sent to [email protected].</p></div></div></div> | Vice President Kamala Harris is "struggling" with Black and Latino voters in the Sun Belt compared to former President Biden in 2020, CNN data guru Harry Enten said Monday. On "The Lead with Jake Tapper," CNN’s senior political data reporter noted that, according to NYT/Sienna polling, former President Trump has a slight advantage over Harris in the Sun Belt states of Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina, the former two of which Biden won. What's more, Harris is trailing Biden's numbers with Hispanic and Black voters in the region. "I think this is really interesting," Enten said, showing a breakdown of support for Harris today compared to support for Biden in 2020 in the three Sun Belt states. FOX NEWS POLL: HARRIS CLOSES GAP WITH TRUMP IN SUN BELT STATES "Hispanic voters, four years ago, Joe Biden won that vote 66% in the Sun Belt," he said. "Look at where we are now, Kamala Harris at just 52%, so Kamala Harris struggling among Hispanic voters. Donald Trump doing considerably better than he did 4 years ago." "How about Black voters?" Enten continued. "Kamala Harris, again, leading here by a significant margin, right? She‘s getting 83% of that vote, but that is significantly short of Joe Biden‘s 92%." "So the bottom line is, in the Sun Belt, which is much more diverse than the northern battleground states up in the Great Lakes, Kamala Harris is struggling among voters of color," he added. Enten also highlighted how, among Sun Belt voters, 31% are most concerned about the economy/inflation, 16% about immigration, and another 16% about abortion. He observed that the first two of these issues are "great for Donald Trump." FOX NEWS POLL: 87% CONSIDER SITUATION AT SOUTHERN BORDER A PROBLEM Tapper asked what would happen if Harris maintained her hold on the less diverse blue wall states up north while Trump maintains his advantage in the Sun Belt. "Oh my goodness, look how close this race is. 276 electoral votes to Donald Trump’s 262 because she carries these Great Lake battleground states, even if she loses in North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona," Enten replied.

Blaine Gaskill, a St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office deputy with SWAT training who had been positioned at Great Mills High School since the beginning of the school year, immediately responded after being alerted of the shooting, officials said. "[Gaskill] pursued the shooter, engaged the shooter, fired a round at the shooter," Sheriff Tim Cameron said Tuesday, adding the deputy did everything he was supposed to do during an active shooter situation. Gaskill contained the situation within one minute of the initial shot being fired, officials said. It's unclear if his round hit the shooter. GUNMAN DEAD, TWO INJURED AFTER SHOOTING AT GREAT MILLS HIGH SCHOOL IN MARYLAND Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said Gaskill is a "capable ... tough guy" who "took the right kind of action." "I think while it's still tragic, [Gaskill] may have saved other people's lives," Hogan said. Gaskill's interaction on Monday with the deceased gunman, 17-year-old Austin Wyatt Rollins, wasn't the first time he came face-to-face with a firearm. In July 2016, Gaskill was responding to a complaint at a Great Mills home when a man — identified as Pekka Robert Heinonen, 59 — pointed a gun at him, according to Maryland newspaper The Enterprise. Heinonen was "standing on the porch, pointing a gun at me," Gaskill wrote in a probable cause statement. "I ordered the defendant to drop the gun, at which point ... his wife walked between us. The defendant refused to comply with my demands, ... [until his wife] convinced him to drop the gun." Gaskill, Sheriff Cameron said at the time, "used exemplary judgment" in the situation, in which "realistic, relevant and constant training obviously paid off." The deputy has been with the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office for six years, after having previously served four years as a correctional officer. | cc2dc936-d08b-5d53-8666-2f402bc35c49 | 05/19/25 |
