NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced that the Justice Department will be abandoning its efforts to create the Anti-Weaponization Fund during the House Appropriations Hearing on Tuesday.The fund, which was born out of a lawsuit between President Donald Trump and the Internal Revenue Services, was put on hold after a federal judge put a temporary injunction on the fund’s creation. A hearing centered on the Anti-Weaponization Fund’s legal basis was scheduled for June 12, but it will now not occur, according to Blanche’s testimony.  “We are not moving forward with the fund, period,” Blanche said. “The reasons for the fund are something that President Trump talked about for a long time, which is the fact that there were a lot of people in this country who had their government weaponized against them. The reasons for the fund, I think, remain as important as they were before, but, we are not moving forward with the fund.” This is a breaking news story. Check back for updates.

When there are new Kershaw models in the offing (like those we talked about yesterday), a new Zero Tolerance knife can’t be far behind. This year, ZT is celebrating its 20th birthday with a limited edition model called the 0020. Damascus is a classic choice for a limited edition model – and if it’s stainless damascus, well, that’s even better for many enthusiasts out there. ZT tapped Vegas Forge for this particular stainless damascus, and they delivered their Lytic pattern with water ripple-like patterns moving across the surface of the blade. The main cutting steel in this stainless formula is AEB-L, a well-loved recipe that has seen more than its fair share of use over the years and, thus, comes with a proven track record. The 0020’s blade shape is one of those particular drop points ZT is known for, with a wide sweep out to a tapered, needle-like point. The length is listed as 3.5 inches so, if you decide to take your 0020 off the shelf, it will be big enough for the lion’s share of light to medium density cutting chores. Custom polygonal thumbstuds are the sole opening method, kicking the blade out on its KVT ball…

More than 350 deaths are suspected. “Never before has an Ebola outbreak recorded so many cases so soon after its declaration,” Doctors Without Borders said, calling for more testing and medics on the ground. “With only 20% of contacts currently being traced, health authorities are struggling to identify and isolate new chains of transmission,” the International Rescue Committee, a global humanitarian organization, warned Monday in a statement. World Health Organization (WHO) chief, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said that people could live “Even without vaccines or specific therapeutics, people can survive Ebola disease caused by the Bundibugyo virus if they receive timely healthcare and seek treatment as soon as symptoms appear,” he said Monday on X. No cases have been confirmed…
