NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! OutKick host Riley Gaines says her new children’s book, “1, 2, 3, We Are Free!,” was born out of motherhood, telling Fox News Digital that the arrival of her daughter reshaped her sense of purpose and deepened her desire to teach the next generation about what makes America “the greatest nation in the world.””Getting pregnant, it shifted my perspective a little, but I will never forget holding my daughter in my hands for the first time,” Gaines told Fox News Digital. “My perspective shifted at that point to understanding like it is no longer about me … You subconsciously shift your perspective into wanting a safer, more fair, more righteous, more just, more moral country for your daughter to inherit.”Gaines, a former NCAA swimmer and women’s sports activist, welcomed her daughter, Margot, in October. She recently released the new board book in partnership with Brave Books to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary.EXCLUSIVE: STATE DEPARTMENT INTRODUCES NEW US PASSPORTS THAT ARE SURE TO ANGER DEMOCRATS Gaines said the book is aimed at families with very young children and is designed to teach kids how to count while also introducing them to themes of “faith,…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! I’ve spent over 40 years on the front line against a terminal illness that killed my brothers and put my 14-year-old son into a wheelchair. This week, I asked Food & Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Dr. Martin Makary to leave his gilded office and come visit my home, because I fear that he’s lost touch with terminally ill children like Ryu. I’m Ryu’s full-time caretaker. Like most rare disease families, we rely on one income and have limited financial resources. What we do have are astronomical medical expenses; Ryu’s steroids alone are $30,000 per month. My husband and I thankfully found a nonprofit that covered the remaining $2,000 after our insurance paid their portion — but other expenses fall squarely on us. It’s easy to ignore these struggles when you’re a powerful official in Washington, D.C. In my house, Ryu struggles to breathe because of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, the same illness that I watched kill my brothers Angelo and Antonio at ages 20 and 22. Experimental drugs could let Ryu avoid their fate, but we can’t access them under a regulatory environment that appears to prioritize bureaucratic caution over the lives of dying children. I’M…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The North Carolina State Board of Elections identified approximately 34,000 dead people on the state’s voter rolls following a comprehensive data comparison with a federal database.Earlier this month, the NCSBE submitted over 7.3 million voter records to the federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database as part of an initiative to strengthen the accuracy and integrity of the state’s voter registration list. The NCSBE clarified that the identification of deceased individuals on the state’s voter rolls does not necessarily indicate illegal votes were cast.”While we expected to find some cases, this is higher than we anticipated,” Sam Hayes, the executive director of the State Board of Elections, said in a press release. “The benefit of entering into cross-state and federal database checks is that it allows us to uncover issues like this. Our goal is to use every available and legal tool at our disposal to achieve the most accurate voter rolls possible,” he continued. “Now, we must roll up our sleeves and begin the hard work to act of verifying that every person registered to vote in North Carolina is eligible. Our team, along with our state and federal will do…

FN has just announced the PUREVIEW, a pistol red dot that uses holographic technology.The fact that the FN PUREVIEW is enclosed isn’t the most exciting part about the company’s new pistol optic, it’s the fact that it’s holographic. Traditional red dots use an LED emitter to bounce light off a reflective, curved lens back into the shooter’s eye, creating the reticle. Conversely, holographic sights use a laser diode and a holographic grating to project a 3D image of the reticle towards the target on a flat lens. While there are pros and cons to each type, holographic sights generally offer a crisper reticle, a sharper image and a clearer, less distorted sight picture.While holographic sights for carbines are typically heavier than their simpler red dot counterparts, FN says that the PUREVIEW is about 25 percent lighter than similar enclosed pistol optics. Despite the low weight, the sight is built to be durable, and like all holo sights, the reticle will still be visible and fully usable even if the lens is damaged. Limited battery life has also historically been a downside of holographic sights, but FN says that theirs will be capable of 800 hours of continuous use or up…

Major League Baseball made the rare decision on Tuesday afternoon to address a controversial call in the game between the San Diego Padres and Chicago Cubs on Monday night. Padres closer Mason Miller, who’s been all but unhittable to start the 2026 regular season, entered the game with his team leading 9-5. On a 1-1 count, Cubs infielder Matt Shaw hit a weak dribbler down the third base line that teetered on the edge of fair or foul. SAN DIEGO PADRES CLOSER MASON MILLER IS AN INSANE HUMAN CHEAT CODE DESTROYING MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALLPadres third baseman Ty France tried to wait for the ball to roll into foul territory, which it appeared, at least from the camera angles, to do. While one portion hovered over the foul line, most of the ball appeared to be in foul territory. But home plate umpire Dan Merzel, who was right on top of the play, called it fair.Petco Park fans, and Padres manager Craig Stammen, were not happy. And Major League Baseball addressed those concerns, admitting an error was made.  Major League Baseball appears to say umpires got the controversial call wrongThe Athletic’s Dennis Lin, who covers the Padres, contacted the league office for an…
