This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream. Why is there so much excitement about an agreement with Iran that literally resolves none of the key issues that the two sides were fighting about? The long-term status of the Strait of Hormuz is not resolved. The war between Israel and Hezbollah is not resolved. Nobody seems to have any idea where the 300 billion dollar “investment fund” for Iran is going to come from, and none of the nuclear issues that this war was supposedly about in the first place have been resolved either. So what in the world did the “Memorandum of Understanding” actually accomplish? Yes, the “Memorandum of Understanding” is supposed to open up the Strait of Hormuz for a period of 60 days. But as I pointed out a few days ago, Iranian leaders have told us over and over again that once the 60-day period has ended, a “maritime service fee” will be imposed on all ships that travel through the Strait of Hormuz. Any ships that are not willing to pay up will have to face the wrath of the Iranian military. But U.S. officials are telling us an entirely…

Nancy Guthrie ransom: Harvey Levin pushes back on reports that note contained apology over her death
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The recipient of a batch of suspected ransom demands in the Nancy Guthrie case is pushing back against recent reports claiming the potential abductors were apologetic over the 84-year-old’s purported death.”I wanna talk about Nancy Guthrie and some communications I had with the FBI that I haven’t talked about until now,” Harvey Levin said in a video posted to TMZ’s YouTube Monday afternoon. “But I want to start with these reports that this ransom letter that we received kind of apologizes to Savannah Guthrie and her family for the kidnapping and that Nancy was no longer alive. That was not in the ransom note that we received.”Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos, whose department is the lead agency on the case, told Fox News Digital Monday that the FBI has been handling the investigation into numerous ransom demands, some bogus and some with potential to be real, since the beginning.FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X He deferred comment to the bureau on the new reports, and the FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.WATCH: What The FBI Told Harvey Levin | TMZ”It is not in that ransom note…
The Ebola virus outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC or DR Congo) has continued to spread. There are now over 1,000 confirmed cases, 254 deaths, and health officials see no end in sight right now. Health officials have said that tracking and tracing those who have been in contact with infected individuals remains a major challenge, accoridng to AP News. A total of 100 people have recovered in the outbreak concentrated in the Ituri province since it was declared on May 15th, Congo’s Ministry of Health said Sunday. At least 365 patients are in hospitals or in isolation, it said. That number pales in comparison to the number of people who have died, however. Complicating the issue is the strain of the virus infecting people. This Ebola outbreak caused by the rare Bundibugyo virus, which has no vaccines or treatment, was the worst ever in its first month. Officials admit there could be far more cases they still don’t know about, and that the peak of the outbreak is still ahead. “If you want to control an outbreak, especially Ebola outbreak, you must know the index case. We don’t have confidence on when this outbreak started,” the Africa Centers for Disease…
The World Cup is here, the United States men’s national team has already won its group, and American fans finally have a chance to rally around a team wearing red, white and blue on home soil.So, of course, the liberal media had to make it weird.Could this just be a cool moment for American soccer? Apparently not.Instead, some of the usual suspects in sports media have decided the World Cup is another opportunity to push every preferred narrative: race, identity politics, Trump, MAGA, immigration, American shame, and the idea that there is a right kind of American fan and a wrong kind of American fan. The Guardian gave probably the best example in a Sunday piece about Fox’s World Cup coverage and Alexi Lalas, framing Thierry Henry vs. Lalas as “the World Cup’s most compelling battle.”The headline called Henry a “French aristocrat” and Lalas an “all-American idiot.”Subtle, huh?EX-USWNT STAR CARLI LLOYD CALLS OUT ALEXI LALAS CRITICS, SAYS BACKLASH STEMS FROM CONSERVATIVE POLITICAL VIEWSThe piece referred to Lalas as a “MAGA hack” and positioned him as the embarrassing, loud, patriotic American ruining the world’s game for everyone else. It also claimed soccer in America belongs to “migrants, urban liberals” and people…

MoreNEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, R-Ark., said the mainstream media’s coverage of President Donald Trump reflects what she described as a loss of control in the industry.Appearing on “The Riley Gaines Show” Tuesday, the former White House press secretary argued the media’s criticism of Trump stems from his ability to bypass traditional gatekeepers and reach the public directly.”That’s one of the things they hated the most is that he didn’t need them,” Sanders said.”He was able to talk directly to the American people without having to use the media in a way that everybody who had come before him had to,” she added.TV EXECUTIVE PANICS THAT TRUMP WINNING MEANS PRESS HAS NO INFLUENCE: ‘MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS DEAD’ The president has consistently used social media sites to share his thoughts with the public. Trump later created his own platform, Truth Social, after he was banned from Twitter prior to its acquisition by Elon Musk.”This was somebody who decided that he wasn’t just [going to] stick with the traditional types of media,” Sanders said. “And if they were [going to] continue to attack him relentlessly, which they have done, he would simply go around them.”THE…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! House Democrats are staying far away from questions about whether former Vice President Kamala Harris should run for president again in 2028.”I have no idea,” Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., the former House majority whip, told Fox News Digital.”I have no idea who’s running, and we’ll focus on 2028 after 2026,” Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., answered, referring to the November midterms.Although the slate of presidential candidates has ample time to settle, the responses hint at party uncertainty about whether Harris is the strongest figure who could represent the party in 2028 and underscore reluctance from lawmakers to project what their party might look like two years down the road.KAMALA HARRIS TEASES SHE ‘MIGHT’ RUN FOR PRESIDENT AGAIN IN 2028 “I won’t comment until I know whether she really actually is or not,” Rep.

The SAP sling is available in many colors and offers modern match guns a highly functional cuff setup.The steadier your rifle, the tighter your groups. Good shooting support gear will help with that.Shooting support gear is an interesting topic. As of right now, there are more companies producing more shooting accessories than ever before, and a good number of them are unfortunately poorly made … or just downright snake oil. Not every sling is equal, not every tripod is equal, and there are certainly a lot of bipods out there.So, let’s look at where the need for support gear started and see where it takes us.An (Abridged) History of Sights and SlingsIf we go all the way back in history, to when firearms were first adopted, you will see that they were typically large and required a lot of material support to get them into position to use. As guns were miniaturized, attempts began to emerge that made them lighter, more portable and more ergonomic. It could be argued that the quintessential shape of the modern rifle emerged as early as 1700, but it could also be argued that it wasn’t until at least the 1850s that we saw what…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Gov. Gavin Newsom is rolling out a taxpayer-backed freebie for new parents, promising hundreds of diapers for every baby born in California under a new statewide program.The Democrat announced Friday that the state will partner with nonprofit Baby2Baby to hand out 400 free diapers to families leaving participating hospitals, starting this summer. The initiative, dubbed “Golden State Start,” is being billed as a first-in-the-nation effort to ease the high cost of raising a child.”Every baby born in California deserves a healthy start in life,” Newsom said in a statement, touting the plan as part of his broader push to tackle affordability.CALIFORNIA IS BROKE, BUT IT’S NOT TOO LATE FOR THE REST OF US Under the program, hospitals will distribute the diapers directly to parents upon discharge.

It seems like forever ago that everyone was talking about Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance.Honestly, for me, it was like every other halftime show of the last decade: It wasn’t my bag, and I had pretty much forgotten about it completely within 36 hours.However, that was not the case for everyone. Some decided it was FCC complaint-writin’ worthy.ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! TMZ got their mitts on some of the complaints that came in, and I won’t lie to you, it had me wondering if I saw the same halftime performance as some of these folks.Like one person was upset about Bad Bunny’s gyrating and wrote that they were “forced to see a man’s penis and balls.”I don’t remember that part, but it’s entirely possible I missed it while replenishing my plate of hot wing dip. It happens. I mean, I missed the Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake incident in ’04 because my buddy and I were playing “Crash Nitro Kart” for PlayStation 2 in the basement during halftime.True story.
