And he’s had an amazing run as our football coach, and didn’t get to do it in front of his family and friends. He had other times he could have left, and he chose not to.” “Matt Campbell, though, owes Iowa State nothing because he did more than we could’ve ever, ever dreamed he would do as our head coach. So yeah, a page turns. But none of us are here forever. Life goes on, and so that’s how I just viewed it. … the sun will come up in the east, like it does every morning, and we’ll go on.”Penn State announced Campbell as its new head coach on Friday, pending board approval on Monday.PENN STATE TO HIRE…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Actress and activist Jane Fonda penned an op-ed in The Ankler on Thursday, warning that the potential sale of Warner Bros. Discovery “threatens” the First Amendment — especially considering how the Trump administration has “used anticipated mergers as tools of political pressure and censorship” in the past.Fonda’s op-ed — published before Netflix confirmed its acquisition of Warner Bros. on Friday — contended that while it was not known at the time which company would end up buying the legendary film house, “we don’t need to know the final outcome to understand the danger.””The threat of this merger in any form is an alarming escalation in a consolidation crisis that threatens the entire entertainment industry, the public it serves, and — potentially — the First Amendment itself,” she wrote. DARRELL ISSA OBJECTS TO POTENTIAL NETFLIX-WARNER BROS DISCOVERY DEAL, CITING ANTITRUST CONCERNS Fonda continued, “Regardless of which company ends up acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery or its parts, the resulting impact is clear: Consolidation at this scale would be catastrophic for an industry built on free expression, for the creative workers who power it, and for consumers who depend on a free, independent media ecosystem to…

This past June, the Portland Air Guard Station, Oregon, reached a new milestone, receiving its fourth Boeing F-15EX Eagle II just before the first anniversary of the base receiving the first of the modernized F-15 aircraft. The Oregon Air National Guard had been selected to be the first operator of the Eagle II, and with the arrival of the latest aircraft, is making progress towards receiving the planned 18 multirole fighters. The Boeing F-15EX Eagle II represents a modernized take on one of the most successful fighter platforms ever built. It combines a proven airframe with 21st-century technology. Image: U.S.A.F. It was also that month that the White House announced that the United States Air Force’s total planned fleet size for the F-15EX could grow to 129 fighters. Aerospace giant Boeing has also leveraged the recent momentum to push for the restoration of the original program of record, which was 144 fighters, after the Air Force had previously reduced the planned acquisition to fewer than 100 fighters.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Dallas Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer has vowed to step in amid a feud between one of the team’s star wide receivers and a former NFL cornerback.The Cowboys fell to 6-6-1 on the season after dropping Thursday night’s game to the Detroit Lions. The 44-30 loss put Dallas’ playoff hopes in jeopardy. Former Seattle Seahawks star and current NFL analyst Richard Sherman was on hand for the Prime Video broadcast and suggested George Pickens looked “uninterested” and took a “disengaged” position.Pickens caught wind of Sherman’s critique and fired back on social media, where he directed a series of names and insults at the retired defensive back. Pickens later appeared to delete the post, but his initial actions still prompted Schottenheimer to commit to addressing the situation with the wideout. “I’m aware of what was supposedly put out there,” Schottenheimer told reporters on Friday. “I’ve not talked to him yet. I understand it’s been taken down, but I will be talking to him, just checking on him. Again, this is unfortunately things that we deal with in this profession. But I have not spoken to him, but I will.”4 TAKEAWAYS FROM THE LIONS’ WIN…

Any professional shooter will tell you that accuracy is nothing more than a byproduct of control—the precarious balancing act of a three-by-three skillset matrix. To put it all in perspective, accuracy is technically defined as the degree to which a shooter’s average point-of-impact (POI) aligns with the intended point-of-aim (POA). It is a measure of correctness rather than consistency. Accuracy describes where the group lands relative to the target’s center (provided your firearm is appropriately zeroed), not how tightly the shots cluster together. In technical marksmanship, ballistics and performance diagnostics used across military, law-enforcement and competitive shooting communities, accuracy is determined by how far the center of the shot group strays from the intended POA. This is why a shooter can deliver a tight group yet still miss the mark entirely. When paired with speed, accuracy becomes one of the two cornerstone performance metrics by which professionals are evaluated. Applied to either defense or competition, precise POA-POI round placement is paramount to accuracy and, in turn, on-demand performance shooting. At its core, accuracy is a byproduct of your ability to control this placement. The secret is to simply increase your control, which will inevitably result in greater accuracy, easy right?…

Some of the best films are the ones that catch you off guard, ones that you don’t expect to like or that resonate with you after the credits roll. “Hamnet” is one of them.Adapted from Maggie O’Farrell’s 2020 novel of the same name, “Hamnet” tells a fictionalized depiction of the death of William Shakespeare’s only son, Hamnet, told through the perspective of his wife Anne Hathaway — referred to in the film as Agnes.Jessie Buckley stars as Agnes, a rebellious farm girl who sparks a romance with Will (Paul Mescal), an aspiring playwright and poet.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Many local stories that could be harmful to Democrat politicians don’t become national TV stories for an obvious reason. In the case of the massive welfare fraud committed by Somalis in Minnesota under Democrat Gov. Tim Walz, former Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 running mate, that is doubly obvious. The focus launched with conservatives on Nov. 19 with a City Journal article by Christopher Rufo and Ryan Thorpe with a rather unforgettable sentence: “The largest funder of [al Qaeda-linked] al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer.” Fraudulent social-service payments were sent to Somalia, and ended up in a dangerous place. The New York Times arrived late to the story on Nov. 30. The online headline was “How Fraud Swamped Minnesota’s Social Services System on Tim Walz’s Watch.” The front page in the paper was notably softer: “The Social Services Corruption That Preyed on Minnesota Nice.” A better term would have been “preyed on Minnesota Woke.”  On “Meet the Press,” host Kristen Welker began with the obvious method of broadcast-network introduction of a story — taking exception to something President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social. He tagged Walz with the R-word, or as Welker put it, “a slur widely regarded…

While Meghan reportedly brushes off the criticism as “just noise,” Harry is said to take the attacks more personally and remains intensely protective of his wife.”Their star power is fading,” Kinsey Schofield, host of YouTube’s “Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered,” told Fox News Digital.MEGHAN MARKLE MAKES BOLD REVELATION ABOUT PRINCE HARRY MARRIAGE 5 YEARS AFTER ROYAL EXIT “That will frustrate them because they’ve experienced the dopamine hit of adoration. Their confidence in leaving the royal family was rooted in their perceived popularity. They’ll keep putting themselves out there because they need to make money, but Meghan’s commercial ambitions conflict with Harry’s desire to rebuild royal bridges.””As long as she uses her title for business, the royal family will keep their distance,” Schofield warned. “And as long as the family keeps that distance, Harry’s popularity will continue to suffer.” Schofield said she believes Meghan is “being disingenuous” in claiming that criticism doesn’t faze her.WATCH: PRINCE HARRY’S…
