United States ruler Donald Trump has attacked Pope Leo, the patriarch of the Catholic Church, as being “terrible for foreign policy.” The social media assault comes as Pope Leo emerged as a vocal critic of the US-Israeli military campaign against Iran. Christian Nationalism and Trump’s Weaponization of Religion The pope described Trump’s threat to destroy Iranian civilization as “truly unacceptable,” warning it amounted to “a threat against an entire people.” Pope Leo XIV also asked the U.S. rulers for some “deep reflection” on the treatment of migrants. Trump, Immigration, and ICE Trump responded in a post on Truth Social on Sunday night, accusing the Pope of being “WEAK on CRIME, and terrible for Foreign Policy,” and saying he would prefer his “all MAGA” brother Louis Prevost, who is US-based and known for his pro-Trump views. “Don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I’m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do, setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History,” Trump wrote.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! It’s April 13, and if you haven’t filed your taxes yet, you’re not alone — but waiting until the last minute could be one of the most expensive financial habits you have.The difference comes down to timing. Early filers tend to receive refunds weeks sooner and are less likely to rush into errors or miss out on credits. That extra time — and cash — can be used to pay off bills, build savings or earn returns, creating small financial gains that add up significantly over the course of a lifetime.”I would simply say your tax return is your single largest financial transaction each year, and you’ll be developing it for the next 30, 40, 50 and in some cases 60 or more years,” Mark Steber, chief tax officer at Jackson Hewitt Tax Services, told Fox News Digital.TAX DAY IS THIS WEEK: AVOID THESE 5 COMMON MISTAKES THAT CAN COST YOU MONEY “It’s probably a good idea to start to develop some best practices, one of which is not to wait to the last minute to start trying to do your tax return,” he added.Filing early won’t change how much you owe,…

A U.S. naval blockade of Iran is a major, open-ended military endeavor that could trigger fresh retaliation from Tehran and put tremendous strain on an already fragile ceasefire, experts say.President Donald Trump, in a social media post after no deal emerged from peace talks this weekend in Islamabad, said the U.S. Navy “will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz.”The U.S. military’s Central Command later said the blockade will only apply to ships going to or from Iran, including all Iranian ports on the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. It will take effect on Monday at 10 a.m. in Washington, CENTCOM said.Trump also said U.S. forces would interdict vessels that have paid tolls to Iran, even if those ships are now in international waters. “No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.The ultimate goal, Trump said, would be to pressure Iran to end its effective closure of the strait, a choke point for about 20% of the world’s oil, to all but the countries that secure safe passage from Tehran. If Trump’s strategy succeeds, he would…

This article was originally published by Chase Codewell at Natural News.  Youngest Voting-Age Cohort Report Heightened Distrust, Negative Emotions Regarding AI A recent survey indicates a significant segment of young American adults harbor growing skepticism and anger toward artificial intelligence technologies. The findings, first reported by The Epoch Times, suggest a notable shift in sentiment concentrated among the youngest voting-age cohort, according to the data [1]. This reported negativity contrasts with the widespread adoption of generative AI tools within the same demographic. Analysts note the apparent disconnect between regular use and negative sentiment marks a distinctive development in public perception of the technology. Observers suggest the sentiment may reflect broader concerns about economic security and institutional trust, particularly among a generation that has witnessed rapid technological and social changes. Survey Details and Key Findings The survey, conducted by Gallup in partnership with the Walton Family Foundation and GSV Ventures, measured emotional and trust-based responses to AI development among U.S. adults. Results show a clear generational divide, with respondents aged 18-24 reporting the highest levels of skepticism and anger toward AI, according to the published data [1]. Despite more than half of Generation Z respondents reporting regular use of generative AI tools,…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo remained peeved with the organization for keeping him sidelined when he feels like he could have played in the final days of the season.Antetokounmpo has had a roller coaster time with the Bucks over the last two seasons due to trade rumors and how the team has managed him with injury concerns. The Bucks have said that he was still not cleared to play after he suffered a left knee hyperextension and bone bruise when he landed awkwardly on a dunk on March 15. He hasn’t played since then and Milwaukee went 4-11 with him on the bench, including the season-ending loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday.”Being cleared to play, I don’t understand. I’ve never in my life denied participation in practice,” Antetokounmpo said. “Whoever came up with that is disrespectful towards what I’ve done for this team and the way I carry myself.”I did what I was supposed to do. I wasn’t able to come on the court now. Who has that say? It comes from above. I thought I had control. OK, if I’m healthy, I’m going to play. This just shows me that…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Rueben Bain Jr., a top-10 prospect in the upcoming NFL Draft, was driving in a previously unreported March 2024 crash in which one of his passengers was hospitalized and pronounced dead three months later, according to a crash report and court records obtained by OutKick. The standout Miami edge rusher was cited at the scene by the Florida Highway Patrol for operating a motor vehicle in a “careless or negligent manner.” The charge was later dismissed because of a “defective citation,” after Bain Jr. entered a not guilty plea, according to court records. The crash report indicates that Bain Jr. did not show any impairment, and was not suspected of alcohol or drug use and that no tests were given at the time. Three NFL teams told OutKick’s Armando Salguero over the weekend that they are aware of the crash, but no team would comment to what extent the incident would affect the first-team All-American defensive end’s status for the April 23-25 NFL Draft. The news of the first crash was first reported by Oliver Connolly.OutKick has reached out to Bain Jr., the University of Miami and the Florida State Attorney’s office, but has yet…

It will decide whether those harmed by ideology under the guise of medical care are entitled to justice.We believe the answer must be yes.As an emotionally distressed teenager, I, Prisha Mosley, found myself turning to dark places on the internet.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Artificial intelligence has quickly become part of everyday life, helping people search for information, complete schoolwork, and make decisions. But what many users don’t realize is that AI systems are not neutral. They are shaped by hidden design choices that influence how they respond — and, ultimately, how people think.The concern is not just theoretical. A recent Fox News Digital report highlighted the controversy surrounding Google’s Gemini chatbot after the system identified multiple Republican senators as violating its hate speech policies — while naming no Democrats. The findings, based on a prompt evaluating all 100 U.S. senators, raised fresh questions about whether AI systems can reflect ideological assumptions embedded in their training data and design.GOOGLE GEMINI DECLARES ONLY GOP SENATORS VIOLATE HATE SPEECH POLICY, ZERO DEMOCRATS, AUTHOR CLAIMS That episode is not an isolated case.A new report from America First Policy Institute (AFPI) reveals that many AI systems consistently lean in particular ideological directions.These biases can affect how political issues, social topics and news sources are presented. Because users often trust AI as an objective tool, these subtle influences can shape opinions over time without users realizing it.Matthew Burtell, a senior policy analyst…
