Brian Urlacher is hardly a WNBA fan, but the NFL legend cannot help but watch Sophie Cunningham.”She’s great. Bro, she’s so fun to watch… It’s unbelievable. She’s so aggressive. She’s fun to watch. I follow her on Instagram. She’s got great stuff out there,” the former Chicago Bears linebacker told Fox News Digital in a recent interview.But now, Urlacher is an even bigger fan of the Indiana Fever guard. Urlacher told Fox News Digital last month that he follows the transgender-athlete issue “closely,” so when Cunningham said “young girls…shouldn’t have to go against biological men” in sports, Urlacher was ecstatic.”She just says what’s true. She says common-sense things, and she gets so much backlash. She’s like, ‘Men should not be playing in women’s sports.’ Why is that so controversial? I don’t get it. I don’t understand it,” Urlacher said.The Hall of Famer also praised Cunningham for continuing to stand by her sentiments.”It’s a simple statement. She stood by it. That’s what I love about when people say things: Don’t back down. If you say something, stand by it. And she said it. She backed it up. She’s not backing down, no matter how much heat she gets from certain people,”…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! FIRST ON FOX: A Senate Republican is planning to curb so-called “rogue” judges, and he is using one of President Donald Trump’s greatest foils in the judicial branch as the launching point.Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., is planning to introduce the Blocking Overt Attempts at Shopping By Enforcing Randomization Guidelines Act in an attempt to curb judge shopping in federal cases. The bill, shortened to the BOASBERG Act, is named after U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, one of Trump’s main antagonists on the bench.Schmitt’s legislation, first obtained by Fox News Digital, would broadly require that federal cases be randomly assigned in a bid to limit the ability of judges and litigants to influence who gets to hear and oversee a case.OBAMA-APPOINTED JUDGE BLOCKS TRUMP’S ELECTION ORDER AS SAVE AMERICA ACT FIGHT INTENSIFIES “Judge Boasberg is the poster child for a rogue judge and exposed serious loopholes in our judicial system,” Schmitt said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “Randomly assigning cases among judges ensures the American people can have confidence in the impartiality of our courts.”Schmitt’s legislation adds several guardrails to the selection process for federal cases and gives courts 120 days…

More than 400 casualties were recorded between Feb. 28 and April 8, with Army personnel accounting for most of the casualties.The data obtained by The War Horse details the specifics of troop injuries from the beginning of the war until the second week of April, when the United States and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire.

Each record accounts for an individual casualty incident, not a person, according to the DoD FOIA Analyst who processed the request, meaning that one…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Liberal comedian Rosie O’Donnell accused CBS of “capitulating” to President Donald Trump on Monday during “The View” co-host Ana Navarro’s podcast, saying the network’s $16 million settlement of his “60 Minutes” lawsuit was a “bribe” that undermined an independent press.Appearing on “Bleep! with Ana Navarro,” O’Donnell invoked former CBS late-night host Stephen Colbert, who used similar language while criticizing the agreement on his show last year.”[CBS] capitulated. They did exactly what Stephen Colbert said they did,” O’Donnell said. “They gave him a bribe and it’s unforgivable.”ROSIE O’DONNELL CLAIMS TRUMP HAS ‘PTSD RESPONSE’ TO HER AS BACKLASH ERUPTS O’Donnell said the agreement demonstrated why she believed the country no longer had a sufficiently independent media establishment to scrutinize the government.”We need a very vibrant, alive, independent media,” O’Donnell said. “And we no longer have it in this country.”The CBS case concerned the network’s editing of an October 2024 “60 Minutes” interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump accused CBS of deceptively editing Harris’ answer about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to benefit her before the presidential election.Paramount Global and CBS settled the lawsuit in July 2025 for $16 million, covering legal costs and…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog under the title: This Super El Niño May Be “The Strongest By A Truly Mind-Blowing Margin” And Could Cause The Most Economic Damage Ever We are literally watching a slow-motion apocalyptic event play out right in front of our eyes, but most people in the general population don’t seem too concerned even though we are being warned that this apocalyptic event could cause trillions of dollars in economic losses. Large numbers of fish are being cooked to death, unprecedented wildfires are ripping across the United States and Europe, severe drought is greatly harming agricultural production in many areas, and the northern hemisphere is being slammed by one crazy heatwave after another. Yeah, a lot of people out there may be able to ignore what is going on outside by sitting in their air-conditioned homes, but the truth is that what is happening to us is going to cause a tremendous amount of pain for the whole world for an extended period of time. The Super El Niño that we are currently experiencing is setting new water temperature records in the Pacific Ocean on a daily basis, and…

Lindsey Graham, his last legislative crusade is inching closer to the finish line.Graham, who died suddenly at the age of 71 earlier this month, will begin the first part of his final journey home to South Carolina in Washington on Tuesday, where lawmakers and world leaders will gather to pay tribute to the longtime lawmaker.He will get two celebrations of his life in Washington on Tuesday, first in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol in the morning, and then at a private funeral service at the National Cathedral.TRUMP MAY HAVE ENDORSED DARLINE GRAHAM, BUT GOP SENATE HOPEFULS AREN’T BACKING DOWN The services in Washington, D.C., which will be followed by funeral services in Graham’s home state of South Carolina, will close the loop on a life in politics that saw the longtime lawmaker grow from humble beginnings behind his parents’ bar to becoming a leader in national security concerns and foreign policy.His impact on the world stage will draw several to the services in Washington, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The battle between the Democratic Party’s far-left flank and establishment wing spilled onto the stage Monday night during battleground Michigan’s fiery Senate debate.The debate took place one week ahead of the pair’s Aug. 4 primary battle, with both candidates using the final face-off to sharpen their competing arguments over who could best represent Michigan — and defeat Republican candidate, former Rep. Mike Rogers, in the November 3 general election.During Monday night’s clash of the Democratic Party’s competing wings, El-Sayed doubled down on his “ogre on a pike” remark and declined to apologize, but clarified it was not specifically directed at Stevens but rather a different moderate Democrat in Congress. Meanwhile, El-Sayed also repeated his attacks on pro-Israel and corporate spending supporting Stevens, while he also rejected the “socialist” label some have given him, describing himself as a “just a capitalist who understands how capitalism works.”Stevens, on the other hand, questioned what El-Sayed was “hiding” by not releasing his full tax returns, an attack she carried over from the pair’s first one-on-one debate earlier this month, and portrayed his rhetoric, outside income and national political ambitions as potential general-election liabilities when it came…
