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…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! As President Donald Trump intensifies his push to eliminate the Senate filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act, lawmakers are exposing familiar fault lines over when the chamber’s 60-vote rule should, and shouldn’t, apply.Democratic senators avoided endorsing an outright elimination of the filibuster. Some defended exceptions for certain legislation, with several arguing it should stay in place while Republicans push to pass the SAVE Act through the Senate.”I would want to know what specific measure it covered,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., told Fox News Digital. “I’m in favor of eliminating the filibuster for specific measures, not across the board.”TRUMP’S VOTER ID BILL CATCHES UNLIKELY BREAK AS MCCONNELL REMAINS SIDELINED “When we wanted the Voting Rights Act passed, I was willing to do it,” Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash said.”It depends on constitutional issues,” she said. “If there are people that are overriding the Constitution and not following the Constitution, that would be an area where I would think about [eliminating the filibuster.]”Democrats previously pushed to create exceptions to the filibuster for legislation including voting rights bills after Republicans repeatedly blocked those measures during President Joe Biden’s administration.As the SAVE Act stalls in the…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., argued the discovery that roughly 6,600 noncitizens were mistakenly eligible to vote in New Jersey does not justify passing President Donald Trump’s SAVE America Act, insisting the error is unrelated to a lack of federal voter ID requirements.”Nothing in the SAVE Act would have prevented a clerical error like we’ve seen in Texas and Oregon and New Jersey,” Booker said. “We’ve got to protect our voting systems.”New Jersey Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill announced last week that the state removed roughly 6,600 noncitizens from its voter roll who were eligible to vote in the 2024 presidential election. Sherrill blamed the issue on a “serious software error” in New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle System.HOUSE REPUBLICANS CONFRONT NJ GOVERNOR OVER 6,600 NONCITIZENS REGISTERED TO VOTE IN ALLEGED SOFTWARE FAILURE The scandal comes to light as Trump has been hounding Senate Republicans to pass the SAVE Act, with some GOP members not in favor of passing the legislation and Democrats overwhelmingly opposing it.”[The SAVE Act] would stop millions of Americans from voting,” Booker said about Trump’s efforts to pass the legislation.Booker argued that Sherrill and the state are actively looking into what led…

The Civilian Marksmanship Program has just announced that it will be selling true military surplus M14 rifles to the public.In a surprising but exciting twist, the Civilian Marksmanship Program has just announced that the organization has received special authorization to begin selling surplus military M14 rifles. Why is it surprising? Because the ATF has long held the position that any receiver that was once a machine gun is always a machine gun. Because original military M14s were built as select-fire rifles, most people never expected that they’d be able to be legally sold on the civilian market. Seemingly, at least for this specific case of surplus M14s, the ATF has made an exception. Whether that decision will have downstream effects on other surplus firearms is yet to be seen.According to the CMP, the surplus M14s will be “modified to be permanently and irreversibly semi-automatic rifles. The modified semi-automatic M14s will be fully compliant with CMP enabling legislation authorizing the transfer and sale of military surplus .30 caliber rifles.”The CMP says that it will begin fulfilling surplus M14 orders sometime between late 2026 and early 2027. No prices have been announced yet, but the word around the campfire is that they…
