PHOENIX – The Caitlin Clark haters got some additional ammunition on Thursday night as the Fever defeated the Phoenix Mercury 92-89 to move to 4-0 without Clark this season.Kelsey Mitchell scored 29 points, including a go-ahead layup with 10 seconds left, to lead all scorers. Aliyah Boston returned from injury and scored 21 points.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! PROVO, Utah — The former lover of Charlie Kirk’s accused assassin told Utah prosecutors that the suspected killer “wishes he hadn’t done it,” according to a video played in court Thursday.”I just asked him in person if what he said was true the night before, and he said it was, started crying a little bit and said he wishes he hadn’t done it,” Lance Twiggs told investigators in a video interview.The night before, according to text messages prosecutors displayed later, Robinson allegedly took credit for Kirk’s shooting in a conversation with Twiggs.TYLER ROBINSON PRELIMINARY HEARING: JUDGE ORDERS REDACTIONS TO EX-LOVER’S VIDEO TESTIMONY The video was played on the fourth day of Tyler Robinson’s preliminary hearing — a procedural step to determine whether the case can go to trial.Prosecutors had attempted to play it Wednesday, but the defense asked the judge to order redactions.

The San Francisco Giants’ season-long struggles are weighing heavily on Logan Webb, and the frustration spilled onto the internet for everyone to see.On Wednesday, following a blowout loss to the Blue Jays at Oracle Park, the All-Star pitcher started trading shots with critics on X before eventually deleting his account.The back-and-forth began after KNBR’s Jack Loder posted a video criticizing the Giants’ “leadership void” and questioned whether Webb had consistently lived up to his billing as the team’s ace.SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS ASKED TO RETIRE ‘THRUSTING’ CELEBRATION A DAY AFTER TAKING THE LEAGUE BY STORM”When someone is supposed to be your ace, you think that they’re going to give you the best chance to win every week,” Loder posted. “Logan Webb had an awesome June, he was bad in April, he missed most of May. I’ve said over the years that he’s been a great Giant, like I’ve really appreciated his Giants tenure. But there’s always been a little bit lacking.” Webb lost control, going after Loder, posting: “You know what’s sad is they allow people like you in the locker room.”When KNBR host Adam Copeland chimed into the thread, Webb shut him down with a quick side swipe:”Who are you?”…

PHOENIX – Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White showed little interest in addressing a recent letter sent by 11 Republican members of Congress to WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert over the treatment of superstar Caitlin Clark.OutKick asked White prior to Thursday night’s game against the Phoenix Mercury what her reaction was to the letter, which stated that the Republican lawmakers were concerned about “physical hostility” and “violence” that Clark faces and suggested it might be “racially motivated.””Our team made a statement yesterday so you can find that statement,” White said.FEVER HEAD COACH LECTURES AMERICA ON RACISM AND HOMOPHOBIA AS CAITLIN CLARK NARRATIVE STARTS TO SHIFT “I understand that, I just mean as a coach when you hear that one of your players is being mentioned in a letter from members of Congress to the commissioner of the league, how do you handle that?” I pressed.”Again, that’s not something we can control,” White said, sidestepping the question a second time before echoing some of the language from the team’s statement.”We’re not affiliated with those groups. We try to keep the main thing the main thing and focus on the things we can control.”The Fever released a statement on Wednesday that said, “Our…

KYIV, Ukraine — The United States is already testing Ukrainian-made aerial and maritime drones and has given Kyiv “very positive feedback,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Thursday, the clearest sign yet that a long-stalled drone-production deal with Washington worth billions is moving ahead.The confirmation came a day after U.S. President Donald Trump at the NATO summit in Ankara pledged the U.S. would give Ukraine a license to build its own Patriot interceptors, a long-sought goal for Kyiv as a global shortage of the missiles and intensifying Russian strikes leave its cities exposed.Zelenskyy stopped short of tying the license to the multibillion-dollar drone deal, presenting the two as separate tracks working towards the same general goals.“There are some documents that have already been signed so that the American side can receive from Ukraine various types of systems in which the United States is interested for testing,” Zelenskyy said in response to a question by Military Times.“And they are receiving these from us.”Kyiv pitched the multibillion-dollar drone partnership to Washington more than a year ago and has waited for a sign-off that never came, with U.S. officials publicly cool on it as recently as last month. Zelenskyy’s account that the testing is…

There’s a new model joining Jack Wolf’s Gateway series next week – the Stockman. The ergonomics and blade shape hew close to the core concepts of this historical pattern, but are rendered in the expected modern, but affordable, materials of the Jack Wolf Gateway series. The Stockman pattern earned its name from its original clientele. It began to circulate particularly among cattlemen, who appreciated having a compact cutting tool for long days on the farm or trail. Like many traditional knife patterns, a Stockman’s most recognizable feature is its handle design: a dogleg shape, and here on the Jack Wolf interpretation it looks to be a thicker dog leg than usual – maybe a bull dogleg. The asymmetry of this handle shape makes it easy to index your grip by identifying the side the blade fold out from. The Stockman’s single blade is large enough for many EDC tasks Yes – unlike many Stockman patterns, the Jack Wolf Stockman is a single blade design. This follows the company style, where all-purpose single blades are favored over multiple, more specialized ones. The Stockman’s blade length is 3.13 inches, and it’s made from Sandvik’s much-loved 14C28N, an easygoing stainless with good edge…

Who was asking for this? That’s become the most repeated response to most new release movies and trailers, as Hollywood and the entertainment industry seem to be rapidly running out of ideas or creativity.The latest example? The tepid response to The Walt Disney Company’s latest attempt at a “live-action” remake of one of their animated films, “Moana.”The original “Moana” was widely enjoyed by critics and audiences, with popular songs that are still frequently played today, even as the film approaches its 10-year anniversary. Its animation style was also praised for the colorful, lush representation of a Pacific island. While it didn’t reinvent the wheel, there was some level of creativity and originality to the presentation of a familiar coming of age story.CHRISTOPHER NOLAN’S ‘THE ODYSSEY’ GETS OVERWHELMINGLY NEGATIVE REACTIONS AFTER CONTROVERSIAL CASTING CHOICES Unsurprisingly, it was a huge financial success. It grossed $248.7 million at the domestic box office, adding a whopping $394 million internationally. That $643 million total adjusted for inflation is now nearly $900 million.And Disney, never one to leave well enough alone, didn’t. Fast-forward to 2026, and trailers for the live-action remake of “Moana” hit theaters and the internet to well, mixed reactions would be an understatement.…

The post-mortems on the U.S. men’s national team’s exit from the 2026 FIFA World Cup are rolling in, and former U.S. women’s national team player Megan Rapinoe is offering her take.And you’ll never believe where she’s placing the blame…Nah, you guessed it, she’s blaming President Trump.MEDIA FIGURES MELT DOWN OVER TRUMP INVOLVEMENT WITH FIFA AS US STAR FOLARIN BALOGUN SET TO PLAY One of the biggest stories going into Monday’s match against Belgium had to do with the red card and suspension of U.S. star Folarin Balogun.Of course, pretty much everyone agreed it was a lousy call, and when the President phoned up FIFA, they allowed Balogun to play using the same rule that allowed Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo to play under similar circumstances.But, obviously, because Trump was involved, the usual suspects were not happy about it, and Rapinoe argued on her podcast, “A Touch More: The Beautiful Game,” that the distraction doomed the team. By the way, the bookshelf behind her featured pretty much exactly what you’d expect. “I think the distraction got to the team for sure in some type of way. Whether it was, you know, this red card situation, whether it was being in a public discourse…
