Ole Miss will run it back with the man who carried the team to its most successful season in program history.After suing the NCAA over a sixth season of eligibility, Trinidad Chambliss was granted the opportunity to play the 2026 season by a state judge on Thursday.The NCAA formally rejected his request for a sixth year of eligibility on Jan. 9 because he and his team could not provide evidence that he was suffering from an “incapacitating injury or illness” when he did not play for Division II Ferris State in 2022 because of apparent respiratory issues.  Chambliss’ appeal to the NCAA was denied last week, but the legal battle continued.The judge ruled that the NCAA “operated in bad faith” in trying to keep Chambliss ineligible for next season, according to Yahoo Sports.Ole Miss came within a quarter of advancing to the College Football Playoff championship game, losing a 31-27 thriller to Miami in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 8.  BYU WIDE RECEIVER, WHO RECENTLY ANNOUNCED ENGAGEMENT, CHARGED WITH FELONY RAPEThe Rebels’ postseason was mired in controversy when Lane Kiffin opted to take the LSU head coaching job.

Top senior enlisted leaders for the Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Space Force told lawmakers Wednesday that access to health care is the most substantive complaint they’re hearing lately from their troops.During a hearing on quality-of-life issues before the Senate Armed Services Committee’s personnel subcommittee, Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force David Wolfe cited a lack of available appointments for health care, and problems with Tricare’s reimbursement rates for health care providers in communities.“What we’ve all seen over the length of our careers is a gradual erosion in the availability of that health care for our service members and their families,” Wolfe said.This has been an issue for years, and problems with health care access have been exacerbated by new Tricare contracts implemented last year. In spite of the time, effort and money spent on improving quality of life for service members and their families, “when you get down to the tactical level, there’s a gap,” said Chief Master Sergeant of the Space Force John Bentivegna. “They’re not feeling it day to day. They’re not feeling it around the kitchen table. They’re not feeling it when they call to get an appointment. They’re not feeling it when…

This article was originally published by G. Calder at The Exposé. On Tuesday, February 10th, the European Parliament moved the digital euro one step closer to reality, backing amendments that support a push by the European Central Bank (ECB) for a central bank digital currency intended to work both online and offline. This does not mean the new currency is in place yet, but it’s another unmistakable signal that the project is gaining momentum after years of discussion. The digital euro remains framed by EU institutions as a strategic and sovereignty project, designed to reduce reliance on non-European payments infrastructure and to ensure that central bank money remains usable in a digitised economy. However, in line with what we’re seeing around the world, any state-backed digital currency promises to expand financial visibility in ways cash cannot. Digital euro edges closer to official issuance What the European Parliament Just Voted For On Tuesday, February 10th, European Union lawmakers approved two amendments to an annual report on the ECB. The votes won by a substantial margin, expressing significant backing for an acceleration towards the digital currency initiative. One of the amendments emphasised that the digital euro is: “essential to strengthen EU monetary sovereignty, reduce fragmentation in retail  payments, and support the integrity and…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz is demanding that the federal government “pay for what they broke” after the Trump administration announced it would draw down its immigration enforcement presence in the Twin Cities.During a press conference following Border Czar Tom Homan’s announcement that the administration would be ending its “Operation Metro Surge” in Minnesota, Walz said that federal law enforcement’s presence in the state was leaving “deep damage” and “generational trauma.””The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here,” said Walz. “There [is] going to be accountability on the things that happened, but one of the things is, the incredible and immense costs that were borne by the people of this state. The federal government needs to be responsible: You don’t get to break things, and then just leave without doing something about it.””So, we’re going to be asking the federal delegation to be investing and doing the things necessary,” he added.TRUMP DHS HAMMERS DEM GOVERNOR’S PORTAL TO TRACK ICE AGENTS: ‘ENCOURAGES VIOLENCE’ Walz, who is best known for being former Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate in the 2024 election, has been at odds with the administration throughout much…

SAN DIEGO — The fiscal 2027 defense budget could double the number of ships the Navy is set to procure under the fiscal 2026 defense budget, Navy Secretary John Phelan said during a keynote address at the WEST Conference in San Diego, California, on Thursday.While the 2026 budget allotted $27.2 billion dollars for the Navy to build 17 ships, Phelan said President Donald Trump’s proposed fiscal 2027 defense budget of $1.5 trillion could bump that number up to at least 34, with a large contingent of auxiliary and support ships.“It is an area that we are in grave need of upgrading and I think the president has correctly addressed that in the budget,” Phelan said.The Navy secretary said that the effort would help rebuild the maritime industrial base by focusing on the construction of ships that are easier to build than combat ships, which require complicated radar systems and nuclear propulsion systems.The 2026 budget allocated money for vessels that include two Virginia-class fast-attack submarines, one Columbia-class ballistic missile submarine, three medium landing ships and one T-AGOS ocean surveillance ship, according to the House Appropriations Committee. The news came as Phelan answered audience questions after delivering opening remarks that criticized the…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Just months after lobbying for the banishment of the Israeli national soccer team to be banned from UEFA, Ireland has agreed to play Israel this fall in Nations League matches. The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) only just approved a motion calling for Israel to be banned from UEFA back in November. The FAI joined the soccer federations of Norway and Turkey in calling for Israel’s banishment, citing the country’s war in Gaza. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez also made a similar plea. The motions were ultimately rejected.  The FAI has not released a statement addressing its willingness to play Israel after calling for the team’s banishment in the fall. “In 2025, a motion was proposed by members of the FAI General Assembly to vote on issuing a formal request to the UEFA executive committee for the immediate suspension of the Israel Football Association from UEFA competitions for a breach of UEFA statutes,” the FAI wrote.ISRAELI BOBSLED CAPTAIN OPENS UP ON TEAM OVERCOMING BURGLARY AND VANDALISM TO MAKE HISTORY IN WINTER OLYMPICS “Members then voted in favor to submit the motion to UEFA, which the association did in November 2025.

The Virginia Supreme Court ruled Thursday that a U.S. Marine and his wife will keep an Afghan orphan they brought home in defiance of a U.S. government decision to reunite her with her Afghan family. The decision likely ends a bitter, yearslong legal battle over the girl’s fate.In 2020, a judge in Fluvanna County, Virginia, granted Joshua and Stephanie Mast an adoption of the child, who was then 7,000 miles away in Afghanistan living with a family the Afghan government decided were her relatives.Four justices on the Virginia Supreme Court on Thursday signed onto an opinion reversing two lower courts’ rulings that found the adoption was so flawed it was void from the moment it was issued.The justices wrote that a Virginia law that cements adoption orders after six months bars the child’s Afghan relatives from challenging the court, no matter how flawed its orders and even if the adoption was obtained by fraud.Three justices issued a scathing dissent, calling what happened in this court “wrong,” “cancerous” and “like a house built on a rotten foundation.”RELATEDAn attorney for the Masts declined to comment, citing an order from the circuit court not to discuss the details of the case publicly.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A key piece of evidence could provide investigators with additional context surrounding Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance from her Tucson, Arizona, home as the search for the missing 84-year-old stretches into its second week. Photos taken by Fox News Digital show blood droplets on the ground in front of Nancy Guthrie’s front door and in her driveway, painting an eerie picture of what could have led to her disappearance. “Nancy Guthrie is bleeding from some area, either the hands or the face,” forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden told Fox News Digital. “The nature of the blood spots with little pale centers or donut shapes are typical for drops that come from the nose or mouth, because they’re mixed with air.””That means she’s coughing up blood or dripping from the nose. Otherwise, there would be a dripping from a cut from above, possibly from the hands or face.”VEHICLES AT CENTER OF NANCY GUTHRIE INVESTIGATION PROBED AS POLICE CANVAS FOR TRUCK, RING FOOTAGE Law enforcement previously confirmed DNA analysis of the droplets confirmed the blood belonged to Nancy Guthrie. Baden added the blood droplets signify Nancy Guthrie was either unable or did not attempt to stop the bleeding as…

SAN DIEGO — Service chiefs from the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard speaking at the WEST Conference in San Diego on Wednesday defended the necessity for continued investment in their respective services while laying out the goals they will set to achieve with present and future infusions of cash.In the wake of the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill, which allotted roughly $150 billion for defense, Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Eric M. Smith said the financial windfall allowed the service the ability to afford the absolute necessities it needed to operate.It was expensive, yes, but essential, he said.“Everything costs what it costs,” Smith said. “I don’t want to pay four billion dollars for a ship, neither does my shipmate Daryl Caudle. But that’s what it costs to have pipefitters, steamfitters, welders, electricians build the ship.”The 2026 defense budget is $839 billion, with President Donald Trump attempting to push forward a $1.5 trillion military budget for fiscal 2027. Smith likened defense spending to the purchase of his personal Ford F-250 pickup truck. He didn’t want to pay $70,000 for it, but he needed a car that could tow 38,000 pounds (the 2026 Ford F-250 can tow up to 23,000 pounds…

Border czar Tom Homan has announced that President Donald Trump has agreed with his proposal to conclude a federal immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota. Homan’s announcement came less than three weeks after Trump deployed him to Minnesota to run immigration operations there. Homan said that a “small footprint” of personnel will stay in the area “for a period of time” to transition command back to a local field office, and to ensure “agitator activity” does not flare back up. Minnesota has been a hotbed of contention between ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and those who consider themselves “anti-ICE” protestors. Murders have been committed by ICE enforcers, and it’s creating a rift in American culture that will be difficult to overcome at this point. Homan replaced Border Patrol commander at large Gregory Bovino three weeks ago, according to a report by CNBC. Judge, Jury, Executioner: When the Government Decides Who Lives or Dies State-Sanctioned Murder in Minneapolis: Pretti Execution and Trump’s Engineered Path to Civil War Last week, Homan announced a drawdown of 700 agents from the area encompassing Minneapolis and St. Paul, a roughly 25% pullback that still left about 2,000 officers in place. “We’ve seen a big change here…
