NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! President Donald Trump on Friday ordered his administration to install signs outside the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History directing visitors to what the White House describes as “accurate” information about the nation’s past.The executive order instructs the National Park Service, which maintains the sidewalks outside the museum, to place signs informing visitors about a White House report released July 4 that criticized the Smithsonian’s portrayal of American history. Trump also directed the creation of a temporary exhibit intended to correct what his administration considers inaccurate historical information.TRUMP WHITE HOUSE CALLS OUT SMITHSONIAN FOR PUSHING ‘ONE-SIDED, DIVISIVE POLITICAL NARRATIVES’The move follows a report from Trump’s Domestic Policy Council that accused the Smithsonian and the National Museum of American History of failing to present history “in a way that is inspiring, unifying, and worthy of our great republic.” Because the Smithsonian operates independently of the executive branch, Trump cannot directly remove museum leadership or unilaterally change exhibits. Instead, the order targets federal property outside the museum that falls under National Park Service jurisdiction.National Museum of American History Director Anthea M. Hartig defended the museum during congressional testimony this week.”As we continue to fact…

Welp, Dan Le Batard is back virtue signaling and cashing in left-wing political points. This is nothing out of the ordinary for the former ESPN personality as he provided his analysis of the ESPN layoffs, which included polarizing personality and one of the network’s most prominent race-baiters, Ryan Clark. Le Batard also fired a shot at OutKick in his racially unhinged rant on Friday’s show.If you’re unaware, OutKick broke the news that the “Worldwide Leader in Sports” was going to let go of Ryan Clark on Monday, though our reporter Bobby Burack was made aware of the move on Friday. When Burack and fellow reporter Dan Zaksheske reached out to ESPN in the afternoon to tell them they were going to break the story within the hour, ESPN panicked. What they did next is under scrutiny. They used that hour to pull Ryan Clark off air during a commercial break, and pitched the story to The Athletic, so they could break it before we did. Since then, Jemele Hill has tried to slander OutKick and Burack. Le Batard is now jumping on that slanderous bandwagon while providing a race-focused take that may have inadvertently been the most Ryan Clark thing…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Conservative activist Robby Starbuck landed a major legal victory against Google on Friday as his defamation lawsuit will be able to move forward, according to a Delaware Superior Court ruling.Last October, Starbuck filed a suit against Google seeking at least $15 million, alleging the company’s artificial intelligence programs defamed him by falsely portraying him as a “monster” to millions of users in the form of “AI hallucinations.””The Court views these allegations as sufficient to support a claim for emotional distress damages at this stage in the proceedings, being sufficiently well-pled to proceed to discovery and flesh out the allegations,” Judge Meghan Adams ruled in the court filing.GOOGLE HIT WITH LAWSUIT OVER AI ‘HALLUCINATIONS’ LINKING CONSERVATIVE ACTIVIST TO CHILD ABUSE CLAIMS Starbuck touted the victory towards discovery on social media.”Was it directed to lie about me due to political bias, as their AI alleged? Was it a rogue programmer? A negligently released product? An executive demanding this? Poisoned training? A political bias operation? We don’t know the answers to those questions yet but in discovery we get to find those answers and depose the people relevant to our case,” Starbuck wrote on X. “Sunlight is…

This article was originally published by Sterling Ashworth at Natural News.  The national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in the United States climbed back above $4 on July 20, 2026, according to American Automobile Association data. The average stood at $4.0030, marking a return to a level that analysts describe as a politically sensitive threshold for American consumers. [6] The increase followed a week of renewed hostilities in the Middle East, including Iranian attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and nine consecutive nights of U.S. military strikes against Iran. [8] Brent crude futures rose more than 3% on the day, pushing above $90 a barrel, as the conflict disrupted tanker traffic through the strategic waterway. [8] Reasons for the Price Increase Crude oil prices surged 16% in the past week, the largest weekly jump since April, according to market data. [8] The Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly 20% of global oil supplies transited before the war, was effectively closed again after a brief reopening in late June, cutting off shipments from the Persian Gulf. [3] The closure has been described as the largest supply disruption in recorded history, with the International Energy Agency releasing…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-N.J.) and former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) have a lot in common.Both have long spells of absences from Capitol Hill due to health.Kean was out for months this winter and spring. But until he returned in June, no one knew exactly what was going on. Neither Kean nor his office or family said a word about why the congressman was AWOL. Upon his return, Kean announced he endured a lengthy hospital stay for depression. McConnell’s absence is similarly cryptic.His office simply declared in June that the Kentucky Republican was hospitalized and receiving “excellent care.” Yet it took weeks to learn that McConnell was hospitalized for a fall and then pneumonia. The dearth of information fueled conspiracy theories about whether McConnell was even alive. It prompted a letter of inquiry from Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) as to the senator’s well-being.He told SiriusXM he hadn’t “heard a thing. Not an email. Not a letter. Not a call.”But that’s not where the similarities between Kean and McConnell end.During Kean’s absence, hardly a day went by when someone didn’t ask me about how they could potentially fill his seat. The same has…

At her age, race activist Alveda King wasn’t the least bit surprised by the Caitlin Clark opinion piece penned this week by USA Today sports columnist Nancy Armour.”I’ve seen every kind of race-baiting that you can imagine. I’m 75 years old,” the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. told OutKick on Friday. Armour’s column relating the murder of Emmett Till to Caitlin Clark putting black and lesbian WNBA players in physical danger didn’t come as a shock to a woman who has seen so much over her lifetime. King, a Fox News contributor, says this playbook by the left-wing media is all too predictable.”What people have learned to do, is to throw out inflammatory, emotional phrases that will make people emotional and forget how to think. There was no reason to throw Emmett Till’s name out there. And so, that’s called race-baiting,” she continued.King’s advice to Americans is simple: Don’t be “misled by emotional turmoil without examining the facts.”What are the facts here?NANCY ARMOUR’S DISASTROUS CAITLIN CLARK ARTICLE EXEMPLIFIES WHY SPORTSWRITING AND SPORTS MEDIA IS FAILINGAs OutKick’s Dan Zaksheske has written this week, Armour has used Clark as a race-baiting target in the past.
