NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! FIRST ON FOX: A Senate Republican is planning to curb so-called “rogue” judges, and he is using one of President Donald Trump’s greatest foils in the judicial branch as the launching point.Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., is planning to introduce the Blocking Overt Attempts at Shopping By Enforcing Randomization Guidelines Act in an attempt to curb judge shopping in federal cases. The bill, shortened to the BOASBERG Act, is named after U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, one of Trump’s main antagonists on the bench.Schmitt’s legislation, first obtained by Fox News Digital, would broadly require that federal cases be randomly assigned in a bid to limit the ability of judges and litigants to influence who gets to hear and oversee a case.OBAMA-APPOINTED JUDGE BLOCKS TRUMP’S ELECTION ORDER AS SAVE AMERICA ACT FIGHT INTENSIFIES “Judge Boasberg is the poster child for a rogue judge and exposed serious loopholes in our judicial system,” Schmitt said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “Randomly assigning cases among judges ensures the American people can have confidence in the impartiality of our courts.”Schmitt’s legislation adds several guardrails to the selection process for federal cases and gives courts 120 days…

Subscribe to their newsletter.The United States recorded at least 17 life-threatening casualties during the first phase of the war with Iran, according to newly obtained Defense Department records that provide the most detailed accounting yet of troops wounded in the conflict. More than 400 casualties were recorded between Feb. 28 and April 8, with Army personnel accounting for most of the casualties.The data obtained by The War Horse details the specifics of troop injuries from the beginning of the war until the second week of April, when the United States and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire. Although U.S. military operations continued in the region and several more troops were wounded, hostilities remained subdued until earlier this month, when President Donald Trump declared the truce over on July 8.The records, obtained by The War Horse through a Freedom of Information Act request, include service members’ branch, rank, injury type, and the date they were wounded. Each record accounts for an individual casualty incident, not a person, according to the DoD FOIA Analyst who processed the request, meaning that one…

Liberal comedian Rosie O’Donnell accused CBS of “capitulating” to President Donald Trump on Monday during “The View” co-host Ana Navarro’s podcast, saying the network’s $16 million settlement of his “60 Minutes” lawsuit was a “bribe” that undermined an independent press.Appearing on “Bleep! with Ana Navarro,” O’Donnell invoked former CBS late-night host Stephen Colbert, who used similar language while criticizing the agreement on his show last year.”[CBS] capitulated. They did exactly what Stephen Colbert said they did,” O’Donnell said. “They gave him a bribe and it’s unforgivable.”ROSIE O’DONNELL CLAIMS TRUMP HAS ‘PTSD RESPONSE’ TO HER AS BACKLASH ERUPTS O’Donnell said the agreement demonstrated why she believed the country no longer had a sufficiently independent media establishment to scrutinize the government.”We need a very vibrant, alive, independent media,” O’Donnell said. “And we no longer have it in this country.”The CBS case concerned the network’s editing of an October 2024 “60 Minutes” interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump accused CBS of deceptively editing Harris’ answer about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to benefit her before the presidential election.Paramount Global and CBS settled the lawsuit in July 2025 for $16 million, covering legal costs and…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog under the title: This Super El Niño May Be “The Strongest By A Truly Mind-Blowing Margin” And Could Cause The Most Economic Damage Ever We are literally watching a slow-motion apocalyptic event play out right in front of our eyes, but most people in the general population don’t seem too concerned even though we are being warned that this apocalyptic event could cause trillions of dollars in economic losses. Large numbers of fish are being cooked to death, unprecedented wildfires are ripping across the United States and Europe, severe drought is greatly harming agricultural production in many areas, and the northern hemisphere is being slammed by one crazy heatwave after another. Yeah, a lot of people out there may be able to ignore what is going on outside by sitting in their air-conditioned homes, but the truth is that what is happening to us is going to cause a tremendous amount of pain for the whole world for an extended period of time. The Super El Niño that we are currently experiencing is setting new water temperature records in the Pacific Ocean on a daily basis, and…

Researchers at Yale University believe they’ve solved a centuries-old mystery over how a member of one of Italy’s most famous families died.In a study published in the journal iScience, researchers analyzed ancient DNA from Grand Duke Francesco I de’ Medici, the Renaissance ruler of Tuscany, who died suddenly in 1587.Francesco I de’ Medici and his wife, Bianca Cappello, died a day apart after falling ill with intermittent fevers following a stay at a mosquito-filled villa — fueling centuries of rumors that they had been poisoned.EXPERTS FINALLY SOLVE MYSTERY OF TEENAGE REVOLUTIONARY WAR SOLDIER 246 YEARS AFTER HIS DEATHWorking with paleopathologists from the University of Pisa in Italy, the team analyzed DNA extracted from the ribs of Francesco I de’ Medici, as well as Giovanni de’ Medici, his younger brother who died of malaria 25 years earlier.The research was led by Serena Tucci, assistant professor of anthropology at Yale University, whose work was publicized in a university press release on June 30.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Despite denying on multiple occasions during and after the COVID-19 pandemic that he personally recommended lockdowns, excerpts revealed from Dr. Anthony Fauci’s private diary prove a clear contradiction.In a March 15, 2020, entry in the diary, which begins with “BIG DAY!” written in red letters, Fauci, then the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) recalled a striking conversation he had with then-New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.”I spoke with Bill de Blasio (Mayor – NYC) and convinced him based on what I was saying publicly and my conversation tonight to close the NYC schools (he had already decided based on what I was saying on TV),” Fauci revealed in his private notes.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The battle between the Democratic Party’s far-left flank and establishment wing spilled onto the stage Monday night during battleground Michigan’s fiery Senate debate.The debate took place one week ahead of the pair’s Aug. 4 primary battle, with both candidates using the final face-off to sharpen their competing arguments over who could best represent Michigan — and defeat Republican candidate, former Rep. Mike Rogers, in the November 3 general election.During Monday night’s clash of the Democratic Party’s competing wings, El-Sayed doubled down on his “ogre on a pike” remark and declined to apologize, but clarified it was not specifically directed at Stevens but rather a different moderate Democrat in Congress. Meanwhile, El-Sayed also repeated his attacks on pro-Israel and corporate spending supporting Stevens, while he also rejected the “socialist” label some have given him, describing himself as a “just a capitalist who understands how capitalism works.”Stevens, on the other hand, questioned what El-Sayed was “hiding” by not releasing his full tax returns, an attack she carried over from the pair’s first one-on-one debate earlier this month, and portrayed his rhetoric, outside income and national political ambitions as potential general-election liabilities when it came…

If you could go back and duel Wild Bill Hickock, are your handgun skills good enough that you would walk away alive?Legend has it that Wild Bill Hickock was a “very good” pistol shot, but what does that mean, exactly? I don’t think we will ever know, but legend also tells us that during a gunfight with Davis Tutt in Springfield, Missouri, in 1865, Wild Bill shot Tutt through the heart at 75 yards with either a 0.36-caliber Navy Colt or a 0.44-caliber Colt’s Dragoon. The gun he used is not that important, but most anyone would agree hitting a target smaller than a soft ball at that distance with a cap and ball revolver would require some fine marksmanship. Of course, we have no idea what Wild Bill was aiming at (maybe he was aiming at Tutt’s head?).We of course lack evidence—provenanced evidence—but we do have a story from the October 1937 issue of the American Mercury magazine. The following quote is from the article, “The Myth of the Two-Gun Man,” written by Charles B. Roth:“The best Marksman of the Old West was a mild little soldier you have probably never met in your readings for the good reason…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. condemned Dr. Anthony Fauci on Monday after revealing personal diary entries revealed the doctor’s fixation on fame during the COVID-19 pandemic.”[Fauci’s] focus was on promoting himself, on getting on TV and not doing public health,” Kennedy said on “The Ingraham Angle.”The journals, released by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., chronicle Fauci’s day-to-day life during the COVID-19 pandemic, detailing Fauci’s obsession with his newfound fame and his belief that it was “not hyperbole” to say he was “the most famous and talked about person in the country.”Kennedy, who said he is traumatized by Fauci’s falsehoods, said the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases did “incalculable” damage to public health and dismantled the public’s trust.FAUCI’S NEWLY RELEASED COVID DIARIES REVEAL BIZARRE FIXATION ON FAME AS PANDEMIC DEATHS MOUNTED “[Fauci] was the expert that they elevated. And anybody who did not give complete blind faith to these expert opinions – which we now know were lies – was marginalized, vilified, demonized, censored,” the HHS secretary told host Laura Ingraham.Fauci, 85, became largely revered as “America’s doctor” as the public looked to him…
