An extensive audit revealed a California school district allegedly issued diplomas to students in China in addition to potentially “unlawful financial practices associated with the district’s international program.”The Val Verde Unified School District (VVUSD) in Riverside, California, was audited by the county’s superintendent of schools in a more than 1,000-page review that alleges the VVUSD gave unauthorized diplomas to nonresident, Chinese students at the district’s “sister school,” Pegasus California School, in Qingdao, China.”Our audit, commissioned by Dr. Gomez, raises serious concerns about academic integrity, taxpayer fraud, and may even implicate national security,” Larson LLP partner Stephen G. Larson told Fox News Digital. “We found that a California public school district improperly issued diplomas to students in China, and the broader record shows those California credentials may have been used to create false legitimacy for students seeking entry into American universities.” FBI RAID INVOLVING LA SCHOOLS SUPERINTENDENT POSSIBLY TIED TO FAILED $6M AI DEAL, POTENTIAL CONFLICTRiverside County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Edwin Gomez had authority to commission the audit based on authority under Education Code section 1241.5(b) after a 2021 Business Insider investigative report raised questions about the school district.”Our responsibility is to…

A military appeals board has ruled that the Pentagon bears no responsibility in the death of 26-year-old Army specialist whose family says her health concerns and request for a diagnostic test were ignored by medical providers until it was too late for treatment.A March 11 letter from the Defense Health Agency’s Military Medical Malpractice Claims Appeals board rendered final judgment in the case of Spc. Maria Martinez,who died in 2021 of breast cancer after receiving a Stage 4 diagnosis at Fort Bliss, Texas, in October 2019. Her family, led by her father, Army Lt. Col. Ed Larumbe, filed a suit against the military for medical malpractice in 2021 prior to Martinez’ death, saying she had reported concerning symptoms and asked for help 10 months prior, but was dismissed and sent away by providers.The military initially moved to dismiss Martinez’ suit on grounds that it was filed outside the two-year statute of limitations, with review boards holding that the clock started ticking on the day of her diagnosis. The denial on appeal, though, takes another tack. In a decision signed by Chairman Derek Shoup, the Military Medical Malpractice Claims Appeals Board states that “the preponderance of the evidence” shows that military…

North Korea’s ruler, Kim Jong-Un, has said that his country’s nukes provide some “leverage” against American aggression and terrorism. He added that North Korea poses a credible nuclear threat to the United States. North Korea To Build Up Missile Arsenal Amongst “U.S. Nuclear Threat” Kim was speaking during a policy address to newly elected lawmakers on Monday when he emphasized the role of nuclear weapons in ensuring national security. He accused Washington of carrying out “state terror and aggression” globally, arguing that such actions justify Pyongyang’s concerns about the US military presence in the region, including deployments involving nuclear-capable assets. According to Kim, North Korea’s nuclear arsenal provides a strong safeguard against potential attacks, accoridng to a report by RT. “Our nation is no longer a country under threat,” he said. “We possess the power to pose a threat if necessary.” Back in February, North Korea promised it was going to build up its nuclear arsenal. North Korea Vows To Build Up Its Nuclear Arsenal North Korea withdrew from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 2003 to pursue its weapons program. It has since developed nuclear warheads and ballistic missiles believed to be capable of reaching the US mainland, among other potential targets. Despite…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., avoided answering whether he believed Iranian officials over President Donald Trump regarding war discussions on CNN Monday.Van Hollen was asked by CNN’s Kasie Hunt on her show “The Arena with Kasie Hunt” who he believed was telling the truth regarding discussions to potentially end the war. Trump reported that the U.S. had “very good” talks with Tehran, but Iranian state media has denied any talks took place.Though Van Hollen did not specify whether he believed Iranian officials, he emphasized that Trump was “lying” about the war.SCHUMER CLASHES WITH MS NOW HOST OVER WHETHER DEGRADING IRANIAN MILITARY IS A GOOD THING “Unfortunately, we‘ve learned that Donald Trump has been lying to the American people from the start, and he keeps lying to the American people, which is never a good thing,” Van Hollen said.”Do you believe the Iranian officials over the President of the United States?” Hunt asked.”I believe that based on all the information that’s available and Donald Trump‘s track record of lying, including the big lie, which he told the American people during the campaign that he was going to keep us out of war in…

SYDNEY — China is conducting a vast undersea mapping and monitoring operation across the Pacific, Indian and Arctic oceans, building detailed knowledge of marine conditions that naval experts say would be crucial for waging submarine warfare against the United States and its allies.In one example, the Dong Fang Hong 3, a research vessel operated by Ocean University of China, spent 2024 and 2025 sailing back and forth in the seas near Taiwan and the U.S. stronghold of Guam, and around strategic stretches of the Indian Ocean, ship-tracking data reviewed by Reuters shows. In October 2024, it checked on a set of powerful Chinese ocean sensors capable of identifying undersea objects near Japan, according to Ocean University, and visited the same area again last May. And in March 2025, it criss-crossed the waters between Sri Lanka and Indonesia, covering approaches to the Malacca Strait, a critical chokepoint for maritime commerce.According to the university, the ship was carrying out mud surveys and climate research. But a scientific paper co-written by Ocean University academics shows it has also conducted extensive deep-sea mapping. Naval-warfare experts and U.S. Navy officials say the type of deep-sea data being collected by the Dong Fang Hong 3 –…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Wellness retreats featuring spa treatments and yoga classes have long attracted travelers. But now a new trend is emerging: psychedelic retreats. These retreats are often structured travel experiences in which participants use psychedelic substances such as psilocybin (magic mushrooms), ayahuasca or other plant-based medicines.Hadas Alterman, a psychedelic medicine attorney in Washington, D.C., told Fox News Digital she’s seen a rise in the popularity of these retreats.HOT TRAVEL TREND HAS PEOPLE PRIORITIZING WELLNESS, PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES: ‘KEEPS ME MENTALLY SHARP'”This paradigm could signal that the hard line between ‘clinical intervention’ and all other uses — spiritual, personal growth, recreational — is giving way to a spectrum, where psychedelics serve people who aren’t in crisis but aren’t merely thrill-seeking either,” she said.The retreats are usually led by facilitators, shamans or therapists. They take place in destinations in which certain substances are legal or culturally accepted. “Legality varies wildly across the globe: Psilocybin truffles are sold in the Netherlands, ayahuasca is protected cultural heritage in Peru, and Jamaica has no restrictions on psilocybin,” said Alterman.”Popular retreats operate in these permissive countries as well as in Oregon and Colorado, where supervised psilocybin use is now legal under state law,” she…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog.  After this week is over, there may be no turning back. President Trump is literally threatening to “obliterate” Iran’s power grid, and the Iranians cannot do a thing to prevent that from happening. But in response, the Iranians are threatening to destroy oil and gas infrastructure all over the Persian Gulf. The Iranians have already destroyed 17 percent of Qatar’s Ras Laffan natural gas complex, and if they destroy the remaining 83 percent of that facility, it will immediately plunge us into the greatest natural gas crisis in human history by a very wide margin. There would be widespread natural gas shortages, fertilizer plants all over the world would be forced to shut down, and hunger would run rampant. Approximately 20 percent of the world’s entire supply of liquified natural gas comes from Ras Laffan, and it will take 3 to 5 years to rebuild the portions of the complex that have already been destroyed. If the rest of the complex gets destroyed by Iran, it will be a cataclysmic event. When I say that, I am not exaggerating one bit. We really have reached a moment…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The evolution of live sports programming has become a battleground between traditional broadcast companies and streaming platforms, vying for the right to air the best games possible year after year. The NFL is the cream of the crop, generating roughly $10 billion per year on its current media rights deal. And the league is likely to renegotiate that deal by the end of this year, with reports indicating that they want it done before kickoff in Week 1 of the 2026 season in September. With additional media partners potentially entering the fold in this new deal, where do the incumbents like FOX, CBS and NBC lie in the pie chart that is the NFL schedule? Curtis LeGeyt, the CEO of the National Association of Broadcasters, which lobbies federal agencies and lawmakers alike on behalf of the broadcast industry, spoke with John Ourand on “The Varsity” podcast, where he suggested the broadcast industry must consolidate if it wants to continue competing with streaming platforms for live sports rights. EX-NFL STAR SHAWNE MERRIMAN ADVOCATING FOR PLAYERS TO GET PAID MORE WHEN TV RIGHTS DEALS EXPLODE”I think, for better or worse, (consolidation) is an essential thing right now,”…
