    Secret Service thwarts potential threat near Trump's White House grounds with rapid response
    The U.S. Secret Service confirmed Sunday evening that a person is in custody following reports that a suspicious package was found near the White House."At approximately 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 27, 2025, U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division officers immediately apprehend [sic] an individual who climbed a fence on the southeast side of the U.S. Treasury Building," the federal law enforcement agency told Fox News.The suspect allegedly dropped a bag on the sidewalk adjacent to the fence line of the building, which is located adjacent to the White House.That prompted a response from the Metropolitan Police Departments Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Team, who cleared the item.TRUMP STANDS 'STRONGER THAN EVER' ONE YEAR AFTER SURVIVING PENNSYLVANIA ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT, STAFFERS SAYThe suspect was transported to a local hospital for a medical evaluation, and will face charges for unlawful entry, as well as fugitive from justice stemming from a warrant in a different jurisdiction.Twice during his 2024 campaign for the nation's highest office, President Donald Trump was the subject of assassination attempts.July 13 marked one year since a lone gunman on a rooftop at the Butler Farm Show Grounds in Pennsylvania fired eight rounds at the president while he hosted a campaign rally. Trump was shot in the ear before his Secret Service detail dove atop him and pulled him to the ground. The gunman was killed by authorities at the scene.THE STABILITY OF OUR GREAT NATION DEPENDS ON PREVENTING POLITICAL VIOLENCETrump emerged with blood dripping down his cheek, and in an iconic moment, raised his fist and chanted, "Fight, fight, fight" while his security detail attempted to whisk him away to safety.Corey Camperatore, a local former fire chief who was attending the rally, was shot and killed while valiantly shielding his family from the volley of gunfire.Just three months later, the Secret Service spotted the barrel of a rifle poking through the bushes while Trump played golf at his Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.The suspect in that alleged attempt on Trump's life, Ryan Routh, 59, ran away when spotted, only to be taken into custody a short time later. He was charged with assaulting a federal officer and multiple firearms violations, along with the attempted assassination.He is scheduled to represent himself at his upcoming trial.

    Red Sox manager Alex Cora claims ESPN 'made s--- up' about MLB trade rumors during his time at network
    With less than one week left before the MLB trade deadline passes, teams are revving up the phones, while players await their fates for the remainder of the 2025 season and beyond.Players will tell you they try to keep the outside noise just that outside. But it's hard not to see it coming up on social media feeds, sports talk shows, and more avenues of acquiring news.However, Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora doesn't want his players to believe everything they hear and read. He singled out one outlet in particular the one he used to work for.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"I can tell them stories about ESPN in the green room, how people made s--- up you know, trades," Cora said to reporters on Sunday. "And I can tell them that dont believe everything that is said, you know?"Cora is aware the trade deadline rumors are what fans want to see, as teams try to make their squads better or look ahead to the future by dealing away top talent for future assets.MLB TRADE DEADLINE ACTION GETS UNDERWAY AS MARINERS ACQUIRE FIRST BASEMAN JOSH NAYLOR FROM DIAMONDBACKS"You get into any social platform, and if youre looking for baseball, then your feed is going to be full of baseball stories, right?" Cora continued. "And theres a lot of people that are very responsible with their trades, rumors and their contacts. Others, theyre not. So just block it."A source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital that ESPN stands by its reporting, though it wasn't clear what Cora, who departed the company nearly 10 years ago to join the Houston Astros' coaching staff, was referring to."I got stories, man. I dont wanna bury people," Cora said when a reporter asked who at ESPN he was referring to.Cora understands how tough the trade deadline can be from a player perspective considering his 14 seasons as one in MLB.The Red Sox are one of those teams with a rabid fan base always watching to see what they're going to do this time of year. It's also worth noting that one of the top trade names going around is Jarren Duran, the team's All-Star outfielder who could be on the move before 6 p.m. on Thursday.Boston, though, currently sits in a good playoff position out of a tough AL East division at 57-50. They own the second Wild Card slot in the American League, just behind their division-rival New York Yankees.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    Black Sabbath bassist remembers 'frail' Ozzy Osbourne in heartbreaking account of rock legend's final show
    Ozzy Osbourne reunited with Black Sabbath for a final performance weeks before his death, a show that would mark the last time bassist Terence "Geezer" Butler would see his longtime friend.Butler reminisced about his time with Osbourne nearly six decades after the band formed in 1968 and the significance of their last show together near their hometowns. The Prince of Darkness died on Tuesday, July 22, after battling a number of health issues over the years. He was 76.KELLY OSBOURNE POSTS TREASURED MOMENT WITH LATE FATHER OZZY OSBOURNEThe bassist noted that Ozzy was a "born entertainer" who would "do anything for a laugh." He coined his friend the "Prince of Laughter."Prior to the July 5 concert, Butler admitted he was aware the lead singer had health issues, but admitted he was shocked to see how "frail" Ozzy had become in his final days."I knew he wasnt in good health, but I wasnt prepared to see how frail he was," Butler wrote in an essay published in The Sunday Times.OZZY OSBOURNE'S MESSAGE TO FANS CAPS DECADES-LONG LEGACY: 'THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART'"He was helped into the rehearsal room by two helpers and a nurse and was using a cane being Ozzy, the cane was black and studded with gold and precious stones."Butler continued, "He didnt really say much beyond the usual greetings and when he sang, he sat in a chair. We ran through the songs but we could see it was exhausting him after six or seven songs. We had a bit of a chat, but he was really quiet compared with the Ozzy of old. After a couple more weeks we were ready for the show."The 10-hour show was hosted by Jason Momoa and featured performances from Metallica, Guns N Roses, Jack Black, Steven Tyler and others.At one point during the show, which was livestreamed in the U.K., legendary drummers, including Tools Danny Carey, Red Hot Chili Peppers Chad Smith and Blink-182s Travis Barker, battled with their drumsticks while playing a cover of Sabbaths "Symptom of the Universe."For the closing set, the legendary rock star was lifted to the stage while sitting on a black throne accompanied by skulls and topped with a black bat. He sang hits like "Crazy Train" and "Mama Im Coming Home" while remaining seated during the entire set.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"You have no idea how I feel," Osbourne told the crowd. "Thank you from the bottom of my heart."Butler remembered the "strangest part of the show was the end.""Normally, we would all hug each other and take a bow to the audience," Butler wrote. "But Ozzy was on his throne and we hadnt thought that out. What do we do? Tony shook his hand, I presented him with a cake, but it was such a strange feeling to end our story like that."I wish Id had more time backstage with Ozzy, but wishes are redundant now. As Ozzy used to say: 'Wish in one hand and s--t in the other and see which comes first.'"WATCH FOX NATION'S SHARON OSBOURNE: TO HELL AND BACKButler added, "Nobody knew hed be gone from us little more than two weeks after the final show. But I am so grateful we got to play one last time together in front of his beloved fans. The love from the fans and all the bands, musicians, singers and solo artists that night was incredible.WATCH: Ozzy Osbourne during his final performance with Black Sabbath"Everyone had come to pay homage to the Prince. I am so privileged to have spent most of my life with him. Of course, there are millions of things I will think of that I should have written, but how can I sum up 57 incredible years of friendship in a few paragraphs? God bless, Oz, it has been one hell of a ride! Love you!"Born in Aston, West Midlands, U.K., Ozzy was drawn to the theater as a child, but he ultimately turned to music after listening to one particular song from The Beatles.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS"When I heard She Loves You, my world went up like a shooting star," Osbourne once told Esquire. "It was a divine experience. The planets changed. I used to fantasize that Paul McCartney would marry my sister."After leaving school as a teenager, Osbourne spent six weeks in prison after being convicted of robbing a clothing store. It was in 1967 he was recruited by Butler to be a vocalist in a band that would become Black Sabbath.Years before his death, Osbourne reflected on the lasting legacy he wished to leave on the world as his Parkinson's disease progressed."Survival is my legacy," he told People magazine. "I mean, I'm 73. People go, Well, you're 70 why don't I throw the towel in? Why should I? People still want to buy my records. People still want to see me, so why should I? It motivates me to get off my backside and do something. I mean, if my career had gone down the toilet and I knew it was the end, I'd be pretty miserable."Osbourne is survived by wife Sharon, daughters Kelly and Aimee, and son Jack, in addition to daughter Jessica, and sons Elliot and Louis from his first marriage to Thelma Riley.

    Illegal immigrants storm US beaches as Coast Guard battles migrant surge that rose under Biden
    The rise in illegal immigration that took place by boats under the Biden administration has created unique dangers for law enforcement, according to a border security expert.Maritime illegal immigration, using boats to enter the U.S. illegally, rose during the Biden administration as a result of the political and economic crises of Haiti and Cuba, according to the Migration Policy Institute. In February 2023, the U.S. Naval Institute said that illegal immigrant interdiction operations were in a "state of emergency" due to societal turmoil in Caribbean countries.Along the border between the U.S. and Mexico in California, illegal immigrants attempt to cross into America using boats as well.On July 12, the U.S. Coast Guard interdicted three people who were trying to enter the U.S. illegally by boat and were apprehended at Imperial Beach in San Diego County, California. Two individuals said they were Mexican, while one said they were Turkish.CHINESE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CROSSINGS THAT SURGED DURING BIDEN ADMIN A 'NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERN,' EXPERT WARNSIn January, the U.S. Coast Guard intercepted a boat carrying 21 illegal immigrants that was headed toward San Diego.Coast Guard officials and Border Protection officials apprehended the illegal immigrants, who were from various countries."Initial interviews revealed that all individuals claimed Mexican nationality, although subsequent checks identified two passengers as Guatemalan and Salvadoran nationals," the Coast Guard wrote in a press release.EX-ICE CHIEF WARNS BIDEN'S BORDER CRISIS LIKELY FUELED IRANIAN SLEEPER THREAT IN USCalifornia isn't close to the only state having to handle migrant incursions along its shores.In February, the Coast Guard intercepted 132 Haitians on a boat south of the Florida Keys. The Coast Guard boarded the 30-foot vessel and processed the illegal immigrants before they were repatriated to Haiti, according to officials."The Coast Guard will continue to prioritize strengthening our domestic integrity and disrupting attempts to enter the United States illegally by sea," said Coast Guard District Seven enforcement officer Lt. Zane Carter. "We are steadfast in our mission to safeguard America by securing our maritime borders."Simon Hankinson, senior research fellow in the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation, told Fox News Digital that these interdictions create a unique danger for law enforcement authorities."Well, I've seen a very different pattern, say, between the U.K. and France versus off the U.S. coast, where it seems to be a variety of, you know, if it's professional smugglers with really fast boats trying to bring people in and drop them off, then that's one thing for the Coast Guard to cope with," Hankinson said. "And if it is people organizing themselves in leaky boats with insufficient engines and overcrowded conditions, then it's a different thing. I think for the Coast Guard, for our law enforcement, that the issue of safety is obviously paramount.""They don't want anyone to drown and die trying to cross into the U.S. Illegally, even if they're not supposed to do it, but they're also probably worried about people carrying weapons who are trying to smuggle drugs and people in for money," he added.Hankinson said the U.S. should look at what's happening in the United Kingdom as a case study on what to avoid. The U.K. saw 19,982 cross the English Channel to enter the country in the first six months of 2025, according to Sky News. That figure is up almost 50% compared to the first six months of 2024."You know, I was born in England. It's tragic what's happening there," he said. "You have a whole family of Palestinians who were allowed to stay, even though they'd applied under a program for Ukrainians. You know it's a sort of national suicide by generosity."

    Princess Anne wants Prince William to ditch this concerning royal habit: expert
    Princess Anne reportedly wants Prince William to ditch an annoying habit.Several royal experts claimed to Fox News Digital that the late queens only daughter, who has been crowned "the hardest-working royal," is hopeful that her nephew will pick up the slack as he prepares to be king one day."Prince William, in the past, had allegations that he was work-shy," royal expert Ian Pelham Turner claimed to Fox News Digital. " The perfect prince image may be slightly tarnished, and Princess Anne takes no prisoners."PRINCE WILLIAM AND KATE MIDDLETON QUIETLY BUILDING TRUSTED TEAM FOR INEVITABLE TRANSITION: EXPERTS"My natural reaction is that Princess Anne will win this battle," Turner added.Turners comments came shortly after The Sunday Times reported that William "annoys" his aunt when it comes to their shared royal duty. The U.K. published a profile of Anne leading up to her 75th birthday next month.Several unnamed sources close to the princess claimed that she would like to see the father of three do more "bread-and-butter" royal engagements. The outlet pointed out that only King Charles, as well as Anne and William, do investitures, and many of them take place at Windsor Castle, near Williams home, Adelaide Cottage."Shes still doing most of the investitures [at Windsor] even though William lives there," a source close to Anne claimed to the outlet. "It annoys her."Fox News Digital reached out to Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace for comment.Investitures are described as ceremonies in which a senior royal presents medals to people recognized for their significant contributions. The special services are traditionally held at either Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle. According to the royal familys website, there are about 30 investitures each year.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"Princess Annes well-deserved reputation stems from her ability to carry out everyday royal engagements without fanfare or praise," royal commentator Amanda Matta explained to Fox News Digital. "So seeing William, who lives just down the road from Windsor, skip out on investitures, shes still doing herself in her mid-70s? I imagine that would absolutely get under her skin.""With fewer working royals in the fold, and even fewer who can carry out significant engagements like investitures, Anne likely wants to see William take on more of the foundational royal work not just the high-profile tours and splashier events," Matta shared."The steady, day-in, day-out work is what keeps the monarchy visible and justifies their existence. It also feels like were watching two very different generations define royal duty in very different ways. Annes motto is just get on with it, while William always seems concerned with what an event says about the future of the crown."Despite Annes reported personal feelings, she's adamant about supporting the heir to the throne. The outlet reported that Anne is "fond of her nephew" and will be by his side if shes still working when he accedes to the throne.And the feeling is mutual. Three weeks after suffering a horse-related accident, Anne returned to work, black eye and all. William and his wife, Kate Middleton, acknowledged her dedication on X: "Super trooper! So great to see you back so soon. W&C x."According to the outlet, William "is known to admire his aunts devotion to duty.""Even if there is any annoyance, theres mutual respect as well as affection between Princess Anne and Prince William as all who know them can confirm," British royals expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS"Princess Anne remains most supportive of Prince Williams future as king," she shared. "She admires his sense of duty and commitment to the crown as well as his being a good family man rather than so many of his Prince of Wales predecessors who have, throughout history, been notorious for their womanizing while awaiting ascending to the throne.""As Prince William grows into his role, we are likely to see more collaboration for future royal events, particularly at Windsor," Fordwich continued. "There is a balance to bear in mind between Prince Williams current greater focus on his family versus the more traditional ceremonial approach Princess Anne has upheld. He is well aware of this."WATCH: PRINCE WILLIAM, KATE MIDDLETON DEDICATED TO DUTY AS MONARCHY'S FUTURE: A REAL PARTNERSHIPFordwich pointed out that William has prioritized being a hands-on parent to his children, including his eldest Prince George, who is second in line to the throne."By all accounts, Prince George is well-adjusted and a fine king in waiting," said Fordwich. "This is one of the most important roles Prince William has to raise a great king. Hes taking that role most seriously."According to People magazine, Anne will hold the most investiture ceremonies in 2025.In 2023, Anne attended the most engagements of any member of the royal family, reports revealed. She conducted 457 engagements, making her the most industrious for the third year running.William has been accused of being "work-shy" by critics for limiting his royal engagements. Prince Harry wrote about the label in his memoir "Spare."The Duke of Sussex pointed out that when the accusations first came to light, his brother was raising his firstborn, Prince George, and expecting his daughter Charlotte."The papers were awash with stories about Willy being lazy, and the press had taken to calling him Work Shy Wills, which was obscene, grossly unfair because he was busy having children and raising a family," wrote the 39-year-old."He did as much as Pa wanted him to do, and sometimes that wasnt much because Pa and Camilla didnt want Willy and Kate getting loads of publicity. Pa and Camilla didnt like Willy and Kate drawing attention away from them on their causes. Theyd openly scolded Willy about it many times."In May of this year, Ed Owens, a historian who writes about the British monarchy, told The New York Times that William has been revamping his reputation. The outlet reported that the 43-year-old met with President Donald Trump at the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, rode on a tank during a visit to British troops in Estonia, and represented his father at the funeral of Pope Frances."William has sometimes been seen as work-shy, but we see him gravitating toward bigger, more media-friendly events," Owens told the outlet. "Hes burnishing his reputation as a statesman."Shannon Felton Spence, a former British public affairs official, previously told Fox News Digital that William had prioritized raising his family over the years. But with the kings slimmed-down monarchy, he will be expected to juggle multiple roles."[William and Catherine] have long been accused of being work-shy, and frankly, it comes from a deep desire to provide a normal life for their family," she explained. "It was easier to accomplish that work-life balance in years past when the kids were young.""There were more working members of the family, and [William and Catherine] were less senior," she said. "But thats no longer the case. And they are going to need to get with the program. They are very duty-driven, and they have a heart for service, but sometimes the country, and indeed the world, expect to see them at a time when it may be inconvenient for them. And thats always been the essential conflict of that job the crown comes first."As for Anne, she plans to continue working.PRINCE WILLIAM PLANS TO BANISH UNCLE ANDREW FROM ROYAL LIFE WHEN HE BECOMES KING: EXPERT"She has said her plan is to push on [with work] until she is 80, then start winding down a bit, and then copy the [late] Duke of Edinburgh and wind down completely at 90," a source told the Sunday Times.

    America's skies are wide open to national security threats, drone expert warns: 'We have no awareness'
    As drone technology rapidly advances, industry experts are warning Congress about potential airspace lapses creating the next national security threat if left unregulated.In a U.S. House Homeland Security Subcommittee hearing held last week, drone industry experts testified about the looming threats to airspace safety posed by unmanned aircraft systems (UAS)."More than half of all near misses with commercial and general aviation are with drones," Tom Walker, CEO of DroneUp, told Fox News Digital.IM A DRONE CEO. AMERICA MUST PROTECT ITS AIRSPACE NOW, BEFORE ITS TOO LATEWalker leads the worlds largest drone services network while working closely with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the Departments of Transportation (DOT), Defense (DOD) and Homeland Security (DHS) to implement changes on national airspace policy.While on Capitol Hill, Walker implored lawmakers to build a nationalized system that has the ability to identify each drone, pilot and mission throughout the country."We dont have awareness of our airspace," Walker said. "We dont have a common operating picture. We cant look at a picture, and see all of the drones and manned aircraft and say, Heres who this is and heres what theyre doing."DRONE INCURSIONS ON US BASES COME UNDER INTENSE SCRUTINY AS DEVICES PROVE LETHALITY OVERSEASCurrently, the federal government does not have a centralized database that identifies a drone and its pilot in real-time, creating security lapses around critical infrastructure throughout the country and a lack of accountability surrounding rules and regulations of airspace.The implementation of Remote ID a "digital license plate" for drones was rolled out in an attempt to identify UAS systems, but can easily be overridden to conceal a pilots identity, according to Walker."The problem right now is everything is about policy," Walker said. "We have a policy that says you cant go above 400 feet. We have a policy that says you cant fly during Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR). We have a policy that says you cant fly in restricted airspace. And those policies have been violated over a million times."DRONE NEAR-MISSES SURGE AT BUSIEST US AIRPORTS AMID RISE IN UNAUTHORIZED FLIGHTSWalker pointed to several high-profile incidents in recent months involving drones interfering with law enforcement efforts.Earlier this year, a California man pleaded guilty to federal charges after his drone struck a Canadian Super Scooper firefighting aircraft while authorities raced to battle the devastating Palisades Fire. As a result, the potentially lifesaving plane was grounded for approximately five days.Another instance that grounded a first responders aircraft occurred after authorities announced a helicopter aiding in search efforts for victims of the Texas floods was struck by a drone.US MILITARY WOULD BE UNLEASHED ON ENEMY DRONES ON THE HOMELAND IF BIPARTISAN BILL PASSES"The helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing, and a critical piece of response equipment is now out of service until further notice," the City of Kerrville said ina statement.While officials have insisted these instances were completely preventable, Walker points to a lack of a centralized system to identify and locate unlawful drones."I would argue we have no awareness of the airspace whatsoever," Walker told Fox News Digital. "If you dont have awareness, you cannot have control of your airspace. And if you dont have control of your airspace, you cant defend your airspace which means you have no sovereignty of your airspace."HEGSETH TEARS UP RED TAPE, ORDERS PENTAGON TO BEGIN DRONE SURGE AT TRUMP'S COMMANDAlthough the vast majority of regulations have been implemented through policy changes, Walker believes officials are focusing their efforts on counter-UAS systems in a misguided attempt to regain control of the countrys airspace."I get a little discouraged when I hear that the first step we need is counter-UAS," Walker said. "You dont own and control your airspace just by having defensive postures. You have to own it, you have to control it, you have to manage it and then you use those types of measures only when you lose the ability to control a particular risk scenario."Walkers solution would initially be rolled out in areas that are at a high risk for drone incursions in what he calls a "phased approach," with agencies having access on an as-needed basis."Lets start with protecting critical infrastructure," Walker said, before pointing to the United States recent airstrike on Iranian nuclear facilities.DEADLY DRONE WARS ARE ALREADY HERE AND THE US IS HORRIBLY UNPREPARED"Think about the recent operation where we launched the B-2 [bombers]," Walker told Fox News Digital. "All it wouldve taken is a kid with a [drone] flying over that airbase and they wouldnt have been able to launch."As government officials look to integrate drone policies during a time when technology is changing at a rapid rate, Walker encourages collaboration between UAS experts and authorities to aim for long-standing regulations that benefit Americans while stressing that the current guidelines do not adequately address airspace concerns."What systems do we have in place that are tested, tabletop exercised and in place to prevent that today?" Walker said. "The answer is nothing."BORDER STATE LAW ENFORCEMENT TO SHOOT DOWN 'WEAPONIZED' DRUG-SMUGGLING DRONESThe airspace database would then include areas such as the southern border and prisons throughout the country, in an attempt to cut down on criminals smuggling attempts."If you look at the number of things that are being smuggled into prisons, its not just drugs, cellphones and SIM cards," Walker said. "Its knives, guns and explosives. The problem is already a crisis, and its already costing lives. And we, as a country, have done very little up to this point, other than policy."Steven Willoughby, DHS director of counter-UAS program management, testified in a Senate Judicial Committee hearing on Tuesday about cartels using drones to carry out illegal operations at the border, echoing Walkers sentiment.FLORIDA PROPERTY OWNERS PESTERED BY SPYING DRONES COULD SOON BE ALLOWED TO FIGHT BACK WITH 'FORCE'"U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents and officers have seized thousands of pounds of narcotics, including enough fentanyl, to kill tens of thousands of Americans across the globe," Willoughby said. "Drones have also been used increasingly to conduct kinetic attacks or warring cartel functions have attacked one another using drone delivered explosives, and it's only a matter of time before Americans or law enforcement are targeted in the border region."The FAA did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.The implementation of a nationwide, real-time database of UAS flights could ultimately allow drones to exist alongside manned aircraft, further cementing the United States ability to protect both its domestic and international assets while aiding its citizens."We should have both manned and unmanned aircraft working together harmoniously in a symbiotic environment and creating a force multiplier that allows us to save more lives," Walker said. " It allows us to protect our borders, and allows us to provide services to the general public at a level we've never comprehended."

    Archaeologists recently unearthed a remarkable 2,600-year-old tomb in Italy a rare find untouched by looters.The discovery was announced by the Italian Ministry of Culture on June 30. In a press release, the organization said the burial mound dated back to the late 7th century B.C., during the Orientalizing period of Italian history.The tomb is part of the Caiolo Necropolis within the San Giuliano archaeological area, some 30 miles north of Rome. The site is famous for housing other ancient burials, including the Queen's Tomb, the Tomb of the Stag and the Tomb of the Beds.ANCIENT CHRISTIAN TOMB COMPLEX REVEALED BENEATH RUBBLE FROM SYRIA'S CIVIL WARThe newly discovered tomb has not been officially named, but authorities emphasized its significance especially as it remained undisturbed for 2,600 years.Its treasures included ceramic vessels still bearing paint, along with bronze ornaments."Once the slab sealing the chamber was removed, numerous vessels immediately became visible," the ministry said in a statement translated from Italian to English.STRANGE VIKING GRAVE WITH 'CHRISTIAN OVERTONES' DISCOVERED BY PERPLEXED ARCHAEOLOGISTS: 'VERY UNUSUAL'"Some [were] fine painted ceramics, such as those near the entrance deliberately placed according to a precise ritual performed before the tomb was sealed," the statement added."On the left-hand bed, a basin and several bronze ornamental elements belonging to the deceased remain in situ."The excavation was conducted under the supervision of the Superintendency of Viterbo and Southern Etruria, in partnership with Baylor University.Supervising archaeologist Barbara Barbaro said that the necropolis contains over 500 tombs, though most were looted by either ancient people or modern robbers but not the most recent one.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER"Finding an untouched tomb is incredibly rare," Barbaro noted."Thats what makes this discovery so exceptional."Barbaro also said that further study on the site will be "fundamental to advancing knowledge of the ancient world."For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyle"A sealed context is crucial not only for preservation but also because it gives us a complete snapshot of life through the ritual of death," she added.Reflecting on the emotional weight of the find, Barbaro compared the discovery of the tomb to "a bridge to our past, a doorway to our ancestors.""This is what happens when an untouched tomb is found it becomes a collective event," the archaeologist said. "The silence the awe, the respect for those waiting behind that massive stone. The emotion.""Were thrilled to have rescued this material from those who would illegally profit from it," she added. "Now, it will tell a beautiful story for everyone."

    Could Senator Adam Schiff really go to jail over alleged mortgage fraud?
    Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director William Pulte sent a criminal referral to Attorney General Pam Bondi in May alleging that California Democrat Sen. Adam Schiff "has, in multiple instances, falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms, impacting payments from 2003-2019 for a Potomac, Maryland-based property." What is the gist of the complaint? That Schiff, while representing a California district in theHouse of Representatives, falsely listed his posh Maryland home as his primary residence in order to get more favorable loan terms when, in truth and in fact, his California condo, which he designated as his primary residence in order to qualify for a California homeowners tax exemption, was his real primary residence. Even worse, according to the referral, Schiff claimed his Burbank condo as his primary/principal residence in California tax filings during the same years he listed his Maryland home as his primary/principal residence on loan applications to finance that home.TRUMP INVOKES RUSSIA COLLUSION HOAX WHILE CALLING FOR LONGTIME FOE SCHIFF TO FACE JAIL TIMESchiffs response to the criminal referral and to subsequent Truth Social posts by President Donald Trump was one we often see in white collar cases. Per the senators office, "the lenders who provided the mortgages for both homes were well aware of then-Representative Schiffs Congressional service and of his intended year-round use of both homes, neither of which were vacation homes."Thats not much of a denial, senator. The question is whether you lied on these forms or not. Were your answers accurate or not, and if they were inaccurate, were the answers a mistake or intentional? The devil is always in the details in white-collar cases like this. Which representatives of which particular lenders "were well aware" that Schiff intended to use both homes year-round, and why does that matter? FEDERAL HOUSING OFFICIAL SUBMITTED SCHIFF CRIMINAL REFERRAL TO DOJ OVER MORTGAGE DOCUMENTSThe issue is whether Schiff intentionally lied on federal or state forms to gain a financial advantage. If he falsely listed his Maryland home as his primary residence in order to get a lower interest rate, that matters too. (After all, similar alleged falsehoods by Donald Trump were used by New York Attorney General Letitia James to go after Trump in her massive New York state civil action.) Did Schiff lie on California tax forms to gain an exemption he was not entitled to, and, if so, does it implicate any federal criminal statutes?
