NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., who has broken with far-left Democrats numerous times, spoke out on Tuesday’s episode of the “Impaulsive” podcast about how his party needs to change its strategy.Fetterman lamented the modern state of politics as a polarized mess between two parties engaged in a “race to the bottom.” He, however, made the case that he is working to serve Americans as a Democratic Party senator in a state that ultimately voted for President Donald Trump’s reelection in 2024.”Some Democrats now are actually running on the ‘f— Trump’ – I mean literally that’s in some of their commercials, you know, honestly,” he said.He went on to criticize the idea of tarring one’s political opposition as “fascists,” warning, “And this idea—and if you call someone on their side as, like, ‘they’re fascists,’ then that means that people that I know and I love that voted for him, you know, that must be—they are fascists. And they are not. These are good people. They love our country no less than they do. It’s just having different views and, you know, trying to find a way forward in a deeply divided country.”JOHN FETTERMAN’S FALL…

It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time to air some of our biggest grievances in a brand new edition of The Gripe Report.This week, we’re talking buffets.My wife and I recently hit up a buffet, and while it was good, it just reminded me of why I’m not big on buffets. They’re still better than potlucks, though. I hate those.This was a German buffet, which meant there was an abundance of various wursts and schnitzels, and if you felt so inclined, you could sit there and shovel spätzle into your dumb face until you auf den boden kotzen.It was a good time, and I liked the German band that was playing (no Rammstein or Kraftwerk covers, though; bummer), but it reminded me of the many problems I have with buffets in general.THE ‘1776 DIET’: WHAT AMERICANS REALLY ATE DURING THE NATION’S FOUNDINGSo, seeing as I do a column dedicated to complaints, I figured this was the perfect place to get it all out.A good deal?Anytime I end up at a buffet, I always sit there wondering whether or not it’s a good deal.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) wants to consume. For decades, the regime has systematically targeted anyone who dares to exist outside its rigid ideological mold. Under Xi Jinping, this obsession has reached a fever pitch. We are witnessing a relentless campaign to completely erase the civilizations and freedoms of Uyghurs, Tibetans, Southern Mongolians, and Hong Kongers.Now, the regime has codified this cultural erasure into law. On July 1, 2026, the so-called “Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress” took effect. Do not be deceived by its Orwellian title. This is not about unity; it is an attempt to dismantle civilizations. It is a blueprint for genocide set in stone, designed to flatten every distinctive element of individual identity until nothing remains but forced devotion to the State.This legislation is a totalizing dragnet designed to permanently silence every group under Beijing’s shadow. Beyond Uyghurs and Tibetans, it actively targets the cultural preservation of Southern Mongolians, the basic rights of Hong Kongers, the existence of Falun Gong practitioners, and the survival of independent Chinese interfaith communities who refuse to bow to state-mandated ideological conformity.PENCE COMMENDS TRUMP FOR WINNING FREEDOM OF BEIJING’S ZION CHURCH PASTOR…

NEW TAIPEI CITY, Taiwan — China’s Dong Feng-17 ballistic missile has probably existed for more than a decade, quietly adding to the People’s Liberation Army arsenal of ever more modern weaponry.Suddenly in June it was showcased for the first time in official Chinese media, as analysts tell it, and described as one of China’s top military assets as English-language subtitles extolled its battlefield capacities.Experts say the broadcast answers Asia-Pacific military exercises by other countries and aims to warn the U.S. military that the missiles better known as DF-17s, for short, have what it takes to cause particular pain in any war with China.“Video footage might be political signaling or mild deterrence, because the DF-17 is very hard to defend against, especially for large surface targets,” said Alexander Huang, chairman of the Council of Strategic and Wargaming Studies in Taipei. “It’s a big threat to carriers and other assault ships.”The medium-range missiles are equipped with a hypersonic glide vehicle, which means they can fly at lower altitudes in unpredictable directions.DF-17s have existed for at least 12 years and been available to the People’s Liberation Army since 2019, according to a paper by the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank…

President Donald Trump said the tentative ceasefire with Iran is “over” after an intense bombing campaign overnight that followed Iranian attacks on commercial shipping.”For me?
