NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The light at the end of the New York Mets’ clubhouse tunnel appeared bright after Francisco Lindor hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the third inning, and starter Nolan McLean was mowing down Minnesota Twins batters, taking a no-hitter into the sixth inning.The Mets’ losing streak, sitting at 11 games as their returned home on Tuesday, the longest it’s been for the franchise since 2004, was on the way to ending at Citi Field.Until it wasn’t. McLean’s no-hitter ended when Matt Wallner singled to lead off the sixth inning, but the young starter who was featured in Team USA’s World Baseball Classic rotation was able to get the next two batters out. But his Team USA teammate, center fielder Byron Buxton, gave all Mets fans a “here we go again” moment when he hammered a two-run homer to left field to cut New York’s lead to just one run.McLean came out to the mound for the top of the seventh inning instead of manager Carlos Mendoza going to the bullpen, and Luke Keaschall tied the game after singling home Kody Clemens, who doubled to right field just an at-bat…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Former White House chief of staff (and potential 2028 presidential hopeful) Rahm Emanuel is associated with the phrase: “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” His point was parlaying voters’ short-term anxiety into long-term political gain.Yet with a gallon of gasoline averaging more than four dollars in early April, the normal deafening chorus from the environmental movement has fallen to a dull murmur – even in the lead-up to Earth Day, their holiest of high holidays. With the world gripped by an energy crisis, the relative quiet from climate groups is an acknowledgement that their beliefs are no solution.Consider California Governor Gavin Newsom. Last July, he declared that his state’s, “economic growth comes not in spite of clean energy but because of it.” Now, he is including his administration’s role to “responsibly increase oil production” in a press release. TRUMP’S UN SPEECH REVEALS INCONVENIENT TRUTH OF MASSIVE GREEN ENERGY COSTSHere are three examples of shifting climate politics, and their implications for the future.EV Demand Remains LowDuring the Biden Administration, the push to force consumers into electric vehicles was everywhere.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz signed a bill Tuesday allowing nursing home residents to drink alcohol, clearing the way for “happy hour” in senior living facilities.Previously, Minnesota law barred facilities from organizing events that included alcohol without a liquor license. The new “Grandparents’ Happy Hour” law allows nursing homes and assisted living facilities to serve alcohol without one.The measure also updates the state’s liquor laws, allowing some cities to issue licenses and easing rules for certain businesses, including nursing homes and University of Minnesota facilities.Walz announced the bill in a post on X, encouraging seniors to enjoy a drink.STATE OFFICIALS AND DAYCARE MANAGER PUSH BACK ON VIRAL VIDEO FRAUD ALLEGATIONS IN MINNESOTA “Living in a nursing home shouldn’t mean giving up everyday freedoms,” Walz wrote in a post on X. “I just signed a bill allowing seniors living in nursing homes to consume alcohol – so that everyone can enjoy happy hour!”The law requires staff serving alcohol to be at least 18 years old, and facilities are responsible for ensuring residents do not overindulge.The bill drew attention during the legislative session, largely due to Anita LeBrun, an 88-year-old resident of an assisted living…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Kash Patel’s lawsuit against the Atlantic has already backfired, big time.Had the FBI director just put out a statement denouncing the magazine’s piece on him, the controversy would have vanished in two days.But by filing the $250-million suit against what he calls a “defamatory hit piece,” he turned it into a top story on cable news, especially MS NOW, with constant coverage all day Monday, most of it unfavorable.In other words, Patel shined a white-hot spotlight on accusations of excessive drinking and disappearances to a vastly larger audience than would have heard about them.  FBI DIRECTOR KASH PATEL FILES $250 MILLION LAWSUIT AGAINST THE ATLANTIC OVER ‘DEFAMATORY HIT PIECE’ “We will vigorously defend the Atlantic and our journalists against this meritless lawsuit,” a magazine spokeswoman said.While Patel is free to sue anyone he wants, there are two main reasons this is a seriously bad idea.As a public figure, he would have to prove that the Atlantic acted with malice – that is, either knowingly publishing something false, or showing reckless disregard for whether or not it’s true. The Atlantic is a liberal magazine, but has serious reporting chops.KASH PATEL DOUBLES DOWN ON LAWSUIT…

Remarkably, the 2026 college football season will be the fifth year for Lincoln Riley as head coach of the USC Trojans. When Riley came over from Oklahoma, he brought an exceptional resume. Over five seasons in Norman, he put up a 55-10 record, coached two Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks and won four consecutive Big 12 Conference titles. He had three consecutive College Football Playoff appearances, though never advanced to the National Championship game. Thanks in large part to a heartbreaking loss to the Georgia Bulldogs in the 2018 Rose Bowl. And therein lies the one thing missing from Riley’s list of accomplishments: a championship. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!While Oklahoma is a storied program in its own right, the move to USC brought with it championship-level expectations. Matching his high-octane offense with SC’s recruiting prowess and location in Southern California was supposed to get the Trojans back to the top of the college football world.Well, SC has not returned to the top of the college football world. Which is why it’s so surprising that Lincoln Riley is telling the media he expects the program to be entering a “championship window.”  Lincoln Riley has high hopes…
