NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! President Donald Trump publicly broke with his top local prosecutor Saturday, insisting damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was “a pure case of VANDALISM” despite federal officials citing contractor failures as they moved to dismiss a felony case against a former U.S. Olympian.”I disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, on the Reflecting Pool,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “I don’t know what she was thinking?”Trump’s remarks came one day after Pirro’s office asked a federal judge to dismiss a felony destruction of property charge against former U.S. Olympian David Hearn, who was accused of damaging the landmark after allegedly pulling up a loose section of its protective lining on June 19 despite being told by a National Park Service employee to stop.”To me, it was a pure case of VANDALISM, that included the grass, which had a big 86 47 emblazoned in giant letters on it, and other elements of the surrounding area,” Trump continued, referencing a separate vandalism incident that had occurred about a week earlier.U.S. Park Police previously discovered the numbers “86 47” etched into the grass near the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Soviet-born author and political analyst Michael Malice warned that America experienced what he described as a dangerous shift toward Soviet-style informant tactics during the pandemic, as citizens willingly turned in their neighbors for violating lockdown rules.Speaking on the “Planet Tyrus” podcast, Malice argued that authoritarian regimes don’t rely solely on military force, but on the participation of civilians as well.”I think the first time Americans realized the nature of evil was during COVID. Because COVID was the first time we saw in this country, people were turning in their neighbors and were bragging about it,” Malice said, adding, “They were happy: ‘I got this cashier fired.’ That was very Soviet.”FAUCI PRIVATELY TOOK CREDIT FOR COVID-19 LOCKDOWNS DESPITE PUBLIC DENIAL, NEWLY EXPOSED DIARY ENTRIES REVEAL “So that was the first time I think Americans realized that these systems, which are dictatorial, it’s not through force. It’s the fact that small-minded people are tripping over themselves to implement these dictatorships and turn in their neighbors,” he said.Malice is the author of “The White Pill,” a book about the rise and fall of the Soviet Union and the tactics used during that period. He compared…

Sophie Cunningham is now the most polarizing athlete in sports. She’s loved and she’s hated. That was clear Friday evening in Portland as the Fever traveled to another liberal Mecca to play one of the WNBA’s newest expansion franchises, the Portland Fire.Cunningham’s bold stance to support the effort to keep women’s sports and spaces female has attracted women’s sports advocates to rally outside of her games. The first rally, which took place in Seattle, received moderate pushback from trans supporters and made headlines due to what happened inside the arena. A now fined and suspended co-owner of the Seattle Storm, Celeste Keaton, berated two teenage girls sitting courtside with XX-XY Athletics T-shirts and a sign that said, “Thank You Sophie For Speaking Up For Girls.” Meanwhile, a local store director of Nordstrom, Marco Esquivel, was caught berating and cussing at the girls, their mothers and fellow Cunningham supporters. Nordstrom has yet to make a public statement. “The ‘With Love Is Truth’ series began July 28, 2026, when women’s rights group Women Are Real, women’s rights advocate Amy E. Sousa (AKA Known Heretic), and independent journalist Brandi Kruse organized a fan rally with local supporters, including Washington high school athletes, outside…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Comedian and talk show host Bill Maher doubled down on his previous comments suggesting his “vote is in play” in coming elections, as he expressed his discontent over the Democratic Party being “colonized” by radical, socialist views.During Friday night’s episode of HBO’s “Real Time,” Maher blasted the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) agenda that appears to be taking hold within the mainstream Democratic Party.”People gotta realize this is going on,” Maher said. “Yes, my vote is in play. I’m not voting for anyone who thinks the wrong side won the Cold War or cheers for the intifada like it’s the World Cup.”MAHER SHAMES CLINTONS, KAMALA, DEMS, SAYING THEY WON’T GO ON HIS SHOW OR ANYWHERE THEY AREN’T ‘PRE-ADORED’ Maher went on to poke fun at the sheer irony of the apparent political takeover within a party that has platformed against such views.”It’s so ironic from the people who obsess about colonization,” Maher said. “You know what’s being colonized now? The Democratic Party.”He then pointed to two congressional Democrats — Rep. Tom Suozzi, D-N.Y., and Rep. Adam Gray, D-Calif.— after the pair launched a pledge to moderate the party amid the internal rise…

I used to love working at the VA hospital. Just like everything Uncle Sam does, the Veterans Administration is bloated, inefficient, and frustrating. However, back when I worked there as a physician we still had a proper crop of World War II veterans who needed inpatient care. That was Candyland for a history nerd like me. The M4 Sherman was one of the most effective tanks of the war. However, it was still a terribly dangerous place to be in a serious scrap. Image: NARA On the rare evening when we weren’t neck deep in chaos, all it took was an open door with the light on. I’d just knock, introduce myself, pull up a chair, and ask for a story. I met some of the most fascinating guys that way. The Ride Powell was a tanker. He landed on Omaha Beach right after D-Day and crewed his Sherman all the way through to the bloody end. We’ve all see the movie Fury. I’m not convinced but that the real thing wasn’t markedly worse than that. To an infantry soldier, the bulk of the Sherman tank was a comforting piece of cover. Many of the tankers, however, felt like targets. Image: NARA…

I’m officially back in the saddle for a fresh edition of Saturday Screencaps after spending a few days in a secluded cottage with the family in an area where cellphone coverage was spotty and it felt absolutely amazing. The only TV I watched was local weather reports and the Golden Girls on some channel called ROAR.Never forget that the wokes at Hulu went after the Golden Girls a few years back for an episode the wokes were worried would be interpreted as a blackface episode.Let’s get the morning rolling with great news. Speaking of the wokes, Smokin’ Charley Hull is REFUSING to bend a knee to the dork golf media losers who are mad at her for pulling a scratch-off ticket joke on her caddie where the caddie thought he’d won $100k. This IS GOLF. This is what you’d expect out of a woman who has been dubbed the John Daly of Women’s Golf by the OutKick Culture Department. If Hull isn’t pulling pranks, gambling, smoking, drinking, etc., then we have a problem.Over on Twitter, the bots are FURIOUS at Charley. “It’s amazing once people get a bit of money they look at poorer people as toys for their entertainment.…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., are urging the State Department to release hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to help women and infants affected by an Ebola outbreak in East Africa.In a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Thursday, the senators urged him to use $608 million in congressionally-approved international family-planning funds and distribute $1.7 million in already purchased family-planning supplies.The supplies — which the senators implied included condoms, hormonal contraception, post-rape care medicine and hemorrhage medicines — are being stored at a facility in Geel, Belgium, according to the letter.The senators said that if the supplies aren’t used, their understanding is that they will be “destroyed.” EBOLA TREATMENT CENTER SET ON FIRE IN CONGO AFTER RESIDENTS CLASH WITH AUTHORITIES OVER VICTIM’S BODY”Ebola during pregnancy is catastrophic, with a nearly 100 percent fetal loss rate and catastrophic material mortality risk due to severe hemorrhaging,” the lawmakers wrote.”By providing women with the option to voluntarily prevent unplanned pregnancies and to protect themselves from transmission of the virus and have access to clinics, the United States can prevent further deaths of women and the cruel and certain death…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! World Series champion Joe Girardi revealed what is most “disturbing” to him about politics today.Girardi, 61, has been in clubhouses for a long time as both a player and a manager. He played 15 seasons in the major leagues as a catcher and then managed for nearly 14 years. The All-Star catcher talked about the difference in politics from then to now.”I think politics unfortunately has become a hot button for the United States of America unfortunately and it separates us — before where I felt it didn’t separate us. That’s the most disturbing,” Girardi told Fox News Digital in a recent interview. The former New York Yankees manager said there were “absolutely” more conversations in the clubhouse about politics toward the end of his time in the dugout than at the beginning of his career.He said that as a manager, he would tell players to listen to each other.”I would just tell guys to be patient and listen to each other and understand that you’re going to have different views and just be respectful. I mean, you don’t have to have the same view. We all grew up different. That’s the…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Applied Behavior Analysis therapy is a lifeline for hundreds of thousands of American families — helping children with autism develop communication, social and daily living skills.But as Medicaid spending on the autism therapy has exploded into the billions and with fraud on the rise, a partisan divide is emerging over how states should handle public assistance programs for the ballooning treatment option.Republican-led states like Florida have prioritized fraud enforcement and tighter oversight, while debates in states like Georgia have centered on reimbursement rates and preserving access to care. The scrutiny comes as the Trump administration has made it a focus of his second term to eliminate fraud, waste and abuse across federal programs, including Medicaid, a central policy priority.Supporters of stronger oversight argue that every dollar lost to fraud is money that cannot be used to provide care for children and families who depend on Medicaid-funded autism therapy. TRUMP ADMIN PAUSING OVER $1B IN MEDICAID PAYMENTS TO MINNESOTA, CALIFORNIA OVER FRAUD, COMPLIANCE CONCERNSAccording to Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Medicaid provider spending data, Medicaid paid more than $5.15 billion between 2018 and 2024 under one of the primary billing codes…
