Lets cut the nonsense: liberal women arent mad at Sydney Sweeney because shes "setting women back." Thats just the excuse theyre throwing around because they dont want to admit the truth.Theyre mad because shes young, hot, white, and blonde. And they're mad that corporations are finally waking up to the truth: that the American people are done with woke!If she were 300 pounds and identified as gender-fluid, shed be hailed as a revolutionary. If she threw her pronouns into every interview, wore a "FEMINIST" crop top to the red carpet, and spouted progressive talking points on cue, theyd be tripping over themselves to give her a GLAAD Award. But because Sydney Sweeney simply exists - confident, traditionally feminine, and not bending the knee to the woke agenda, shes a target.This isnt about feminism. Its about envy. Its about a cultural movement that now punishes beauty, shames femininity, and exalts victimhood as the highest form of virtue.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONAnd the hypocrisy? Its off the charts.Where was all this feminist outrage when Dylan Mulvaney, a biological male, was handed womens brand endorsements by Nike, Bud Light, and Maybelline for "celebrating womanhood"? Where were these voices when Mulvaney mocked the female experience with Barbie cosplay and tampon tutorials? Nowhere. In fact, they were applauding. Because in todays woke dystopia, a man pretending to be a woman gets more respect than an actual woman who dares to look like one.Where were these self-proclaimed champions of womens rights when actual female athletes were getting steamrolled by biological males in their own sports? When Lia Thomas was shoving real women off the podium, where was the outrage? Crickets. Because defending the rights of actual women doesnt fit the narrative. Its not politically useful.SYDNEY SWEENEY'S RACY AD SPARKS OUTRAGE BUT FANS DEFEND ANTI-WOKE STYLEThats why they loathe women like Sydney Sweeney. She doesnt play along. Shes not trying to be edgy. Shes not rewriting what it means to be a woman but instead, shes embodying it. Beautifully, confidently, and unapologetically. Thats the real threat.The truth is, the modern Left has declared war on hot women. Because hot women dont need to play the victim. Hot women dont need to be coddled or redefined. They dont need to pretend that beauty is a social construct or that femininity is oppressive. They just live it. And that drives the gender-studies crowd insane.Sydney Sweeney represents everything the woke mob hates: effortlessness, elegance, and the refusal to apologize for qualities that used to be admired. In a culture obsessed with "smashing beauty standards," she reminds us that some standards were never the problem. Our cultures new obsession with woke-fueled mediocrity is.This isnt to say that beauty makes someone better but it certainly shouldnt make them worse in the eyes of the media or the public. Weve gone from celebrating women for being empowered in their femininity to vilifying them for being conventionally attractive.Feminism, as the Left now defines it, has nothing to do with empowering women. Its about enforcing ideological conformity. If you don't submit to the narrativewhether its on gender, politics, race, or body positivityyou get attacked.So lets stop pretending this is about Sydney Sweeney. Its not. Its about a movement that tells women they should be anything but what she is: attractive, traditional, proud, and free.Sydney Sweeney didnt set women back. She triggered the insecurities of those whove built their identity on grievance rather than grace.And for that? More power to her.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM CJ PEARSON

The Justice Department on Monday accused U.S. District Judge James Boasberg of misconduct, escalating the Trump administrations long-running feud against federal judges who have blocked or paused some of the president's most sweeping policy priorities.The complaint, reviewed by Fox News Digital, centers on remarks Boasberg allegedly made during a March 11 meeting of the Judicial Conference of the United States the national policymaking body for the federal courts, which meets twice per year and is headed up by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.During that meeting, the complaint says, Boasberg "attempted to improperly influence Chief Justice Roberts" and the roughly two dozen other federal judges at the conference by suggesting that the Trump administration could "disregard rulings of federal courts," and trigger "a constitutional crisis."The complaint was sent at the direction of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and signed by her chief of staff, Chad Mizelle.APPEALS COURT BLOCKS TRUMP ADMIN'S DEPORTATION FLIGHTS IN ALIEN ENEMIES ACT IMMIGRATION SUITFox News Digital could not independently verify Boasbergs reported remarks at the March 11 meeting, and his office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Officials have argued the reported remarks were an attempt to improperly prejudice or influence Roberts and said they "undermined the integrity and impartiality of the federal judiciary."The complaint asked, not for the first time, that Boasberg be removed from presiding over J.G.G. v. Trump, a lawsuit filed in March by lawyers for the ACLU and others on behalf of the hundreds of immigrants who were summarily deported to El Salvador's CECOT prison under the auspices of a wartime immigration law.The complaint and its request to remove Boasberg from the most consequential immigration case of President Donald Trumps second term is certain to test the already fraught relationship between the administration and the courts.Since Trump's inauguration in January, senior administration officials have excoriated dozens of so-called "activist" judges who have blocked or paused some of Trump's sweeping executive orders from taking force.Notably, the pro-Trump legal group founded by White House aide Stephen Miller attempted to sue Roberts earlier this year for his role overseeing the U.S. Judicial Conference, arguing in a long-shot legal bid that the group's actions went beyond the scope of what they allege are the "core functions" of the judiciary.Boasberg, in particular, has emerged as one of Trump's biggest public foes. On March 15, several days after he allegedly made the remarks included in the DOJ complaint, Boasberg issued a temporary restraining order seeking to block Trumps use of a 1798 wartime-era immigration law, the Alien Enemies Act, to summarily deport hundreds of Venezuelan nationals to El Salvador.TRUMP-ALIGNED GROUP SUES CHIEF JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS IN EFFORT TO RESTRICT POWER OF THE COURTSBoasberg ordered all planes bound for El Salvador to be "immediately" returned to U.S. soil, which did not happen, and later, ordered a new investigation to determine whether the Trump administration had complied with his orders. In April, he ruled that the court had grounds to move on possible contempt proceedings, though that ruling was stayed by a higher appeals court, which has yet to consider the matter.His March 15 order touched off a complex legal saga that ultimately spawned dozens of deportation-related court challenges across the country though the one brought before Boasberg was the very first and later prompted the Supreme Court to rule, on two separate occasions, that the hurried removals had violated migrants' due process protections under the U.S. Constitution.100 DAYS OF INJUNCTIONS, TRIALS AND 'TEFLON DON': TRUMP SECOND TERM MEETS ITS BIGGEST TESTS IN COURTHowever, it also placed Boasberg squarely in the crosshairs of Trump officials including the president as the administration moved to unleash a blitz of executive orders and target judges who tried to block them.Their attacks have centered closely on the behavior of several judges but no one more so than Boasberg, an Obama appointee who was originally tapped by then-President George W. Bush in 2002 to be an associate judge of the District of Columbia Superior Court.White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has repeatedly used her podium this year to rail against "radical left-wing judges," accusing them of overstepping their authority and undermining presidential powers.Trump suggested earlier this year that Boasberg could be impeached for his actions, describing the judge as a "troublemaker and agitator" and prompting a rare public rebuke from Justice Roberts.For some, the complaint seems to be well-timed: Boasberg ordered the Justice Department and the ACLU to court for a status hearing last week to determine the status of the 252 CECOT plaintiffs who were deported to Venezuela from El Salvador as part of a prisoner exchange with Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro.GORSUCH, ROBERTS SIDE WITH LEFT-LEANING SUPREME COURT JUSTICES IN IMMIGRATION RULINGBoasberg ended the hearing by ordering the administration and the ACLU lawyers to submit a joint status update to the court on Thursday, Aug. 7, and to continue to do so every two weeks thereafter, as he weighs what options the court has to order relief.When asked at a status hearing in court last week whether the Justice Department would comply with the court's orders, DOJ lawyer Tiberius Davis said they would, "if it was a lawful order."Davis added that DOJ would likely seek an appeal from a higher court.Notably, it's not the first time the Trump administration has tried to have Boasberg removed from overseeing the case.The Justice Department in March asked the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to remove Judge Boasberg from presiding over the Alien Enemies Act case and have it reassigned to another federal judge. The appeals court never took action in response to the request.SHELTERS, JESUS, AND MISS PAC-MAN: US JUDGE GRILLS DOJ OVER TRANS POLICY IN DIZZYING LINE OF QUESTIONINGThe White House has repeatedly argued that lower court judges like Boasberg should not have the power to block what it calls the presidents lawful agenda though the judges say Trump's actions violate the law.Still, the first six months of Trump's second term have been marked by repeated court clashes, as the administration pushes ahead with its agenda and targets those standing in its way.That sentiment was echoed by former acting ICE Director and current border czar Tom Homan. I dont care what the judges think. I don't care what the left thinks," he said earlier this year in an interview. "Were coming. Another fight. Every day."

Any lawsuit brought against Coldplay's Chris Martin over the Kiss Cam fiasco would be "dead on arrival," legal experts told Fox News Digital.Astronomer CEO Andy Byron resigned from his role at his company after he was caught on the jumbotron at a Coldplay concert with his arms around the head of his company's HR department, Kristin Cabot. Now, there are rumors swirling online that the former CEO is allegedly planning to sue Coldplay over the incident. However, there have been no legal filings yet, and experts tell Fox News Digital there's not much Byron can legally do about the situation."Andy Byron has zero grounds to sue, in fact, his lawsuit is dead on arrival," employment attorney Ron Zambrano explained to Fox News Digital.COLDPLAY KISS CAM TRIGGERS 'FORMAL INVESTIGATION' INTO ASTRONOMER CEO ANDY BYRON AND HR HEAD KRISTIN CABOT"He had no reasonable expectation of privacy at an event like that. Theres a waiver of any such rights at the point of ticket purchase (which itself is a contract /waiver)."Fox News Digital reached out to Martin for comment.During Coldplay's performance on July 16, Byron appeared on the Kiss Cam with his arms wrapped around a woman, who was later identified as Cabot. The two were shown during Martin's "The Jumbotron Song," where the singer improvises lyrics about the couples shown to the crowd.Cabot immediately covered her face and turned away from the camera, while a stunned Byron ducked down and exited the frame. Martin then joked that, "Either theyre having an affair or theyre just very shy."The moment ignited speculation of infidelity across social media as video of the exchange went viral.On July 18, the tech firm posted a statement on X about the controversial incident."Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability," the company shared. "The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly."On July 20, Astronomer informed its social media followers that Byron had resigned from the company. Cabot later resigned from her role as chief people officer at Astronomer, a week after the video of her cuddling up with Byron went viral.WATCH: COLDPLAY'S CHRIS MARTIN CATCHES COUPLE ON KISS CAM, JOKINGLY ASKS IF THEY'RE HAVING AFFAIRCOLDPLAY'S CHRIS MARTIN HAS WARNING FOR CONCERTGOERS DURING FIRST PERFORMANCE AFTER KISS CAM CONTROVERSY"The idea that anyone goes to a concert of that magnitude and doesnt have the idea that theres a risk their face may be shown on a screen or a Jumbotron is 100% laughable," Zambrano said."He should listen to the advice he is probably getting to keep his head down and avoid torpedoing his future job prospects over something like this."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSByron doesn't have "a legal leg to stand on" regarding invasion of privacy claims either, trial attorney John W. Day told Fox News Digital."He had no expectation of privacy at the Coldplay concert because it was a public event with tens of thousands of other people present," the lawyer explained. "In public places there may be cameras, especially at a concert, and it's always possible you may be captured on video or still images."According to Day, Byron's potential claim of defamation would also fail because he would have to prove Chris Martin "knew that he was not having an affair when he made his comment.""The bottom line is, if you're in public, don't do anything you would not want your family to see on Instagram or other social media outlets," he said.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERWATCH: COLDPLAY'S CHRIS MARTIN PLAYFULLY WARNS CROWD ABOUT JUMBOTRON AFTER KISS CAM SCANDALMartin seemingly poked fun at the viral moment days later. The lead singer chose to give fans a warning before showing people on the jumbotron."Wed like to say hello to some of you in the crowd," Martin said in a video posted onX, which sparked both cheers and laughter from the audience."How were gonna do that is were gonna use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen," said Martin while grinning. "So please, if you havent done your makeup, do your makeup now."Martins ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, also poked fun at the Kiss Cam controversy by teaming up with Astronomer as their "temporary spokesperson.""Thank you for your interest in Astronomer," the Goop founder said in the tongue-in-cheek video ad posted on Astronomers social media page on July 15.She added that she had been hired "on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300-plus employees at Astronomer."Paltrow noted that the company had "gotten a lot of questions in the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones."The video then wipes to someone typing "OMG What the actual f" before the screen cuts it off and returns to Paltrow deadpanning, "Yes, Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow, unifying the experience of running data ML and AI pipelines at scale."At the end of the ad, the actress added, "We will now be returning to what we do best delivering game-changing results for our customers. Thank you for your interest in Astronomer."Fox News Digital's Stephanie Nolasco and Brie Stimson contributed to this report.

As demand for clean energy grows, so does the need for smarter storage solutions. Lithium-ion batteries are leading the charge, but they don't last forever. That creates a big problem: what do we do with all the dead batteries?Thanks to a new method developed by researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), we may finally have an answer. This scalable and eco-friendly recycling technique transforms old batteries back into high-performing, next-gen components, with minimal environmental impact.Let's break down how this innovation works and why it matters for a sustainable energy future.Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts, and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox. Plus, youll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide - free when you join myCYBERGUY.COM/NEWSLETTERHUMANOID ROBOT SWAPS ITS OWN BATTERY TO WORK 24/7From your phone to electric vehicles and even power grids, lithium-ion batteries are everywhere. They offer unmatched energy density and can scale to meet large infrastructure demands. However, there's a catch. Even with optimal use, these batteries wear out after a few thousand charge cycles. When they die, they leave behind components such as nickel, cobalt, and manganese, materials that are expensive and environmentally damaging to mine. Without a solid plan for recycling, the clean energy revolution could create a very dirty problem.Standard recycling methods aren't quite up to the task. They're energy-intensive, generate significant emissions, and often fail to recover materials in usable form. This means many recycled batteries can't be turned into new, high-performing ones. As a result, manufacturers continue to mine for raw materials, causing further environmental harm. That's why scientists have been searching for a better way to close the loop.WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?Led by Professor Yan Wang, the WPI team developed a method that uses hydrometallurgy to extract critical metals from spent Ni-lean cathodes, then upcycles them into Ni-rich 83Ni cathode materials, which are used in next-generation batteries. Here's what makes it revolutionary:While still in research, this method is on a fast track to real-world deployment. Wang is also a co-founder of Ascend Elements, a company already commercializing battery recycling, so this tech may hit manufacturing floors sooner than you think.Battery waste is piling up, and mining for fresh materials isn't sustainable. Wang's team has proven that high-performance batteries can be made from recycled components at scale.GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HEREThis reduces our dependence on destructive mining operations, lowers emissions, and makes battery manufacturing more resilient to global supply shocks. Even better? These recycled batteries perform just as well as new ones. Unlike traditional methods that recover raw metals but degrade performance, this upcycling process regenerates high-value cathodes with next-gen chemistry, turning old batteries into components even better aligned with today's EV and storage systems.If you rely on a smartphone, drive an EV, or use a laptop daily, this research affects you. The push toward clean energy is not just about wind turbines and solar panels. It's about making the entire system, including batteries, more sustainable. Right now, most of us toss old devices without thinking about where the battery ends up. But that battery contains valuable metals, metals that are expensive to mine and harmful to extract.This new method from WPI means future batteries in your devices could be made from sustainably recycled materials, without sacrificing performance. That helps keep costs down, reduces toxic waste, and shrinks your personal carbon footprint. These high-performance recycled batteries could soon power electric vehicles, solar-powered homes, and even the devices in your pocket, bringing sustainability directly into your life. Plus, as governments and companies invest in battery-powered everything, innovations like this help ensure there are enough materials to go around, without ripping more resources out of the ground.This innovation could become a cornerstone of the circular battery economy, where old batteries fuel new technology without harming the planet. WPI's approach doesn't just tackle waste. It redefines how we think about energy storage in a world that urgently needs sustainable solutions.Would you trust a car or device powered by recycled battery components, or are you still holding out for "new" to mean "better"?

FIRST ON FOX: A top public policy group aligned with House Republicans is launching a major ad blitz Wednesday showcasing the tax cuts in the GOP megabill President Donald Trump signed into law earlier this month.The ads by the American Action Network will run in 30 competitive House districts across the country, thanking Republicans for supporting and chastising Democrats for opposing the sweeping domestic policy bill Trump and the GOP call "one, big beautiful bill."The TV and digital spots, which the American Action Network says are part of an ongoing $5 million ad buy, were shared first with Fox News Digital Wednesday.Voters appearing in the ads thank Republicans for "looking out for us" and giving "us the largest tax cuts in American history."MESSAGING WAR OVER TRUMP'S BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL HEATS UPAnd they take aim at Democrats."Ive been bartending for 25 years. Tips are what we live on. Our tips pay our bills," a bartender identified as Stefanie from Washington state, says in one of the ads.A machinist identified as David said "that vote really pissed me off. Just not looking out for American workers."The ads are running in the districts of Democratic Reps. Josh Harder (CA-09), Adam Gray (CA-13), and Derek Tran (CA-45) of California, Jared Golden (ME-02) of Maine, Kristen McDonald-Rivet (MI-08) of Michigan, Don Davis (NC-01) of North Carolina, Nellie Pou (NJ-09) of New Jersey, Gabe Vasquez (NM-02) of New Mexico, Susie Lee (NV-03) of Nevada, Tom Suozzi (NY-03) of New York, Marcy Kaptur (OH-09) and Emilia Sykes (OH-13) of Ohio, Henry Cuellar (TX-28) and Vicente Gonzalez (TX-34) of Texas, Eugene Vindman (VA-07) of Virginia, andMarie Gluesenkamp-Perez (WA-03) of Washington state.RNC CHAIR SAYS BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL KEY TO GOP'S MESSAGING EFFORT HEADED INTO MIDTERMSThe spots are also running in the districts of Republican Reps. David Schweikert (AZ-01) and Juan Ciscomani (AZ-06), Ken Calvert (CA-41) of California, Gabe Evans (CO-08) of Colorado, Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-01) and Zach Nunn (IA-03) of Iowa, Tom Barrett (MI-07) of Michigan, Tom Kean Jr. (NJ-07) of New Jersey, Mike Lawler (NY-17) of New York, Ryan Mackenzie (PA-07), Rob Bresnahan (PA-08) and Scott Perry (PA-10) of Pennsylvania, Jen Kiggans (VA-02) of Virginia andDerrick Van Orden (WI-03) of Wisconsin.The ads are part of a concerted messaging effort by the White House and House and Senate Republicans to showcase how the tax cuts in the measure will benefit working-class Americans. The GOP will be defending its razor-thin House majority in next year's midterm elections."Conservatives in Congress delivered on their promise to provide much-needed relief to Americas working families," American Action Network President Chris Winkelman said in statement to Fox News. "Liberals fought the passage of the One, Big Beautiful Bill every step of the way. This campaign ensures Americans know who is really fighting for them."The Republican package is stuffed full of Trump's 2024 campaign trail promises and second-term priorities on tax cuts, immigration, defense, energy and the debt limit.FIRST ON FOX: REPUBLICANS LAUNCH MAJOR AD BLITZ TO SELL BIG BEAUTIFUL BILLIt includes extending the president's signature 2017 tax cuts, which were about to expire later this year, and eliminating taxes on tips and overtime pay, as well as a new $6,000 deduction through 2028 for taxpayers 65 and over.Democrats are criticizing the tax cuts as favoring the wealthy and big businesses at the expense of working-class Americans."There is nothing in this bill that's going to help hard-working Americans. Let's be very clear. This is a giveaway to the richest people in our country," Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin argued in a Fox News Digital interview last week.The measure also provides billions for border security and codifies the president's controversial immigration crackdown.The massive tax cut and spending package is also projected by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to increase the national debt by $4 trillion over the next decade, but many Republicans dispute the projection.DEMOCRATS TAKE AIM AT TRUMP'S BIG BEAUTIFUL BILLAnd the new law also restructures Medicaid, the 60-year-old federal program that provides health coverage to roughly 71 million low-income Americans. The CBO this week estimated that 10 million people could lose their health insurance over the next decade.The changes to Medicaid and cuts to food stamps, another one of the nation's major safety net programs, were drafted in part as an offset to pay for extending Trump's tax cuts. The measure includes a slew of new rules and regulations, including work requirements for many of those seeking Medicaid coverage.Democrats, for months, have repeatedly blasted Republicans over the social safety net changes. And they spotlighted a slew of national polls last month and this month, including a recent one from Fox News, that indicate the bill's popularity is in negative territory."Theres been an avalanche of polls showing that the more people hear about the Big, Ugly Bill, the more they hate it, which is why support for the bill is underwater by nearly a 2-to-1 margin.," Viet Shelton, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC)'s national press secretary, told Fox News Digital.Shelton argued the measure "strips away health care from millions of Americans, raises insurance premiums and jacks up electricity bills, all to pay for tax breaks for the wealthiest few. It will be the defining issue of the midterms, ultimately costing House Republicans the majority."But the Fox News survey also indicates that 68% support the provisions making the first-term Trump tax cuts permanent. What's more, seven in ten approve of removing taxes on income from tips and overtime pay.

Fifty years ago today, at 2:30 p.m. in the parking lot of a Bloomfield Hills, Michigan restaurant, Jimmy Hoffa vanished. He was seen getting into a Maroon Mercury and disappeared forever, starting one of the greatest mysteries in American history.Hoffa's family is asking President Donald Trump to make public all the Hoffa case FBI files to find out what the government knows and has kept hidden for half-a-century to finally provide the answers to the iconic case."I call on President Trump to release the Hoffa files once and for all," said Hoffa's son, James P. Hoffa. Hoffa sat down for an exclusive interview for the final two episodes of the Fox Nation series "Riddle: The Search for James R. Hoffa with Eric Shawn.""Let's find out what really happened. President Trump, release the files," Hoffa said. "I don't know what's in those files. That's why we have to have them released, and the American public, the Teamsters union, the Teamsters union members, our family deserve it, and I think you'll do it."JIMMY HOFFAS SON: WHO KILLED MY DAD, WHY, AND WHAT IT DID TO MY FAMILYTens of thousands of pages of FBI reports, interviews and summations, such as the 1976 "HOFFEX Memo," which documented what the bureau knew at the time, have been released by the FBI or obtained through reporters' Freedom of Information Act requests.But Hoffa pointed out that a vast amount of material remains redacted, blacked out, making it difficult to determine vital information and identities."They say it's still an ongoing case, and when you get the material from the FBI, it's all redacted, you can't read it," he said.In 1989, his sister, Barbara Crancer, filed a federal lawsuit against the Justice Department to pry open the 69 volumes of documents and memorandums about her father's case that were in the government's possession. But the DOJ even refused to provide an index of what it had."You can sit forever clipping newspaper articles and waiting for deathbed confessions," Crancer said at the time. She hoped the release would provide "an ending."Crancer and The Detroit Free Press obtained several thousand pages in 2002 after the newspaper spent a decade pursuing the case and sued the Department of Justice twice. Pulitzer Prize-winning Detroit Free Press reporter David Ashenfelter was part of that effort and tells Fox Nation that it is long past time for the government to release the Hoffa files."The FBI knows as much as its ever going to know about the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa. I doubt that its ever going to prosecute anyone, so it should tell his family what it knows. But as weve seen, the government is slow to give up its secrets," he said.In 2021, as part of the "Riddle, The Search for James R. Hoffa" series, Fox Nation reported on the push by then-New York Rep. Lee Zeldin, now the Trump administration Secretary of the Environmental Protection Agency, to get the FBI files released. He filed a formal congressional request to open the Hoffa files to the public."It would be fantastic closure for the Hoffa family, for those who knew him, and for the American public," he said. "Declassification should have been done years ago."TRUMP PLEDGES TO RELEASE FILES ON JFK, MLK AND RFK ASSASSINATIONSZeldin submitted a "Congressional Mandatory Declassification Review," but the request was turned down, as were the others.The FBI routinely cites the fact that the Hoffa investigation remains an open, ongoing case and that the bureau cannot compromise thecase by releasing classified material.The latest episode of "Riddle: The Search for James R. Hoffa" reports that investigators and observers have narrowed Hoffa's killers down to two members of the Detroit Mafia, Vito "Billy Jack" Giacalone and Anthony "Tony Pal" Palazzolo.James P. Hoffa told Fox Nation that he believes Giacalone picked up his father in the car that day to drive him to the location where he was murdered. He blames Giacalone and his older brother, Anthony "Tony Jack" Giacalone, for being the mobsters behind the killing, along with then-Teamsters Union president Frank Fitzsimmons.Hoffa was planning to reclaim the presidency of the Teamsters union by challenging Fitzsimmons, but Hoffas son said Fitzsimmons and the mob decided to kill his father to prevent him from taking back the union. Hoffa was vowing to rid the Teamsters of the organized crime elements that he accused Fitzsimmons of permitting to run rampant in the union. The mob was making hundreds of millions of dollars from the unions billion-dollar Central State pension fund that Hoffa said Fitzsimmons loaned to the mob to help build Las Vegas.Fox Nation reports the new claim that an informant told the FBI that he was present when Hoffa was killed and said that Vito "Billy Jack" Giacalone murdered Hoffa. Such information would likely have been documented in the FBI records, but so far the information has not been released.Detroit mob reporter Scott Burnstein, who runs Gangsterreport.com,has reported that "Billy Jack's" brother, "Tony Jack,"told his fellow gangsters that another mobster, Anthony "Tony Pal" Palazzolo, killed Hoffa. Burnstein, and others, believe that both "Billy Jack" and "Tony Pal"were the Mafia hit time whodrove Hoffa to where he was killed, most likely a house owned by Detroit Mobster Carlo Licata."They actually got together to kill him because they couldnt stop him any other way," Hoffa said. "The only way to stop him was to kill him."Giacalone's son, Jackie Giacalone, has told Fox Nation that he does not know what happened to Hoffa, and Palazzolo's family did not comment to Fox Nation.The FBI will not comment on the claims, citing the ongoing investigation that remains an open case.But that is not stopping the Hoffa family from continuing its decades-long quest to have the files finally made public."My sister was very active in trying to bring a lawsuit to get all the records from the FBI regarding the disappearance. And we've worked very hard on keeping the case alive. We keep in contact with the FBI," he said. "But it doesn't bring him back."He said every July 30 is difficult for him, his sister, and their family. They are marking the 50thanniversary of the disappearance privately."It's a hard day. We always spend time thinking of it. I mark my calendar every year and realize that it is a special time, a time to remember and also to say, remember all the bad things that happened, and the fact is that I had a great father, and he did a great job raising our family."And without the final answers that he said could come with Trump releasing the FBI files, the Hoffas are left with an emotional emptiness."We don't have closure. To this day, we don't have closure because we don't have a grave, and it's amazing what that means to people," he said. "We have a hole in our heart right now because we don't know what happened to him, and we don't have closure on his disappearance."Watch all eight episodes of "Riddle: The Search for James R. Hoffa," now streaming on Fox Nation.

From Gaza to Greenland, French President Emmanuel Macron appears to be taking increasingly bolder diplomatic stabs at President Donald Trumps foreign policy even though such gestures dont "carry weight" as Trump pointed out last week after the French leader declared his intention to recognize a Palestinian state."French Presidents from Charles de Gaulle onwards havereveled in the idea that they are a natural counterweight to U.S. foreign policy on the international stage," Alan Mendoza, executive director of the U.K.-based Henry Jackson Society, told Fox News Digital Monday.Charles de Gaulle wasFrances long-serving leader in the 1950s and 1960s and was famously resistant to U.S. global dominance, withdrawing his country from NATOs military command structure in a bid to increase its military independence and criticizing U.S. policies in Eastern Europe and Vietnam.TRUMP REJECTS MACRON MOVE AS US SKIPS UN SUMMIT ON PALESTINIAN STATESuch contrarian actions, Mendoza said, "have in many ways defined the French Fifth Republic, withlarger-than-life characters thrusting their views onto the world stage."The difference now is that France matters far less globally than it did 60 years ago," he said, adding that a weakening of the European countrys economy and its military might "means that where once de Gaulle could roar, now Macron whimpers.""What was once a sign of French strength and confidence now therefore looks more like a desperate attempt to escape irrelevance," said Mendoza.In a dramatic announcement last week, Macron said that at the United Nations General Assembly in September France intends to declare its recognition of a Palestinian state, even as Palestinian terror groups continue to battle Israel in the Gaza Strip.The statement drew condemnation from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said such a move "rewards terror."It was also criticized by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who called the decision "reckless" and "a slap in the face to the victims of October 7th." He said the U.S. strongly rejected such a plan.Trump merely dismissed Macrons Gaza move, telling reporters at the White House Friday "what he says doesnt matter.""Hes a very good guy. I like him, but that statement doesn't carry weight," the president said.MACRON CHIDES TRUMP, CHINA OVER TRADE, UKRAINE, GAZA: POLICIES WILL KILL GLOBAL ORDERThis is not the first time the president has discounted Macron as inconsequential.Last month, after the French president speculated about Trumps reasons for leaving the G7 summit in Canada early and returning to Washington, the president wrote on his Truth Social platform, "Wrong! He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire. Much bigger than that. Whether purposely or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong. Stay Tuned!"In the same post, Trump said Macron was "publicity seeking."The disparaging comments came after Macron directly contradicted Trumps foreign policy by stopping on his way to the summit in the semi-autonomous Arctic territory of Greenland, which Trump has said he wishes to acquire."Greenland is not to be sold, not to be taken," Macron declared in adiplomatic stab at Trumps foreign policy and seemingly an attempt to rally support fromother European countries to stand up to the U.S.Asked about Trumps ambitions for Greenland, Macron, according to Reuters, said, "I dont think thats what allies do. Its important that Denmark and the Europeans commit themselves to this territory, which has very high strategic stakes and whose territorial integrity must be respected."In February, the French president paid his first visit to the White House since Trumps return to power, and while the meeting appeared to bewarm, it alsocame amid tension over the U.S. approach to the Russia-Ukraine war.Hours before the meeting, the U.S. voted against a United Nations resolution drafted by Ukraine and the European Union condemning Russia for its invasion.Tensions between Macron and Trump are not personal, said Mendoza, but they are also not totally ideological.Theystem from Macrons"desire to be relevant and to stand for something," he said."The French are famous contrarians, but they do it for the sake of being contrarian."Reuel Marc Gerecht, a resident scholar at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, the Washington, D.C., think tank, said Macron was no"different from most European leaders. Trump just isnt their cup of tea.""Most view Trump as a convulsive, hostile force who views Americas historic relationship with Europe as transactional," he said."Macron, like most French leaders,defines himself in part against the U.S.," Gerecht added, explaining that, traditionally, France and America "had a mission civilisatrice or a competitive enlightenment mission.""The American wayhas been enormously appealing in Europe since World WarII, but it has come in part at the expense of the French, who have culturally lost a lot of ground to the Anglophones, especially the Americans," he said. "Consequently, many Frenchmen have a love-hate relationship with the U.S." OnMacron, Gerecht added, "He is part of the French elite. They are a bright lot who punch way above their weight, but, educationally, temperamentally, they are nearly the opposite of Trump."

National news constantly highlights the turmoil at the U.S.-Mexico border, but in southern Arizonawhere red desert dust swirls and cacti rise like sentinelsthe people living closest to the issue face a daily reality shaped by more than headlines. Amid this rugged landscape, a political battle simmers as local leaders grapple with balancing community safety and the broader national immigration debate.Kathleen Winn, chair of the Pima County Republican Party, expressed her dissatisfaction with how federal budgets have been managed over the past four years. Speaking to Fox News Digital, Winn said infrastructure received "millions and millions of dollars" under the Biden administration, alleging that some of those funds were used to "encourage the facilitation of illegal immigration into this country.""That money went unaccounted for, it was infused into the budgets. And so now they're finding that they have to cut programs because they don't have that money anymore," she continued. "We were the front door for the last four years of all kinds of atrocities happening in this country we're paying a price for it now."ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS STORM US BEACHES AS COAST GUARD BATTLES MIGRANT SURGE THAT ROSE UNDER BIDENIn a statement to Fox News Digital, Eric Robbins, chair of the Pima County Democratic Party, sharply criticized what he described as the Trump administrations legacy of cruelty and misinformation on immigration policy."Arizonans are exhausted by the Trump administrations gaslighting, cruelty, and lies," Robbins said. He accused Republican leadersboth nationally and within Arizonaof profiting from fear, citing what he called a surge in unjustified arrests by "masked, unidentifiable agents" targeting individuals without criminal records."These agents have reportedly detained mothers en route to buy food, leaving their children alone by the roadside," he said. Robbins further claimed that such tactics have undermined local law enforcement efforts and funneled detainees into what he described as "for-profit detention centers."Labeling these practices as part of a "documented pattern of abuse," Robbins cited allegations, including the harassment of nonprofit workers, increased privatization and militarization at the border, due process violations, and widespread family separations.PRESIDENT TRUMP SUES NEW YORK CITY OVER SANCTUARY CITY POLICY"This isnt securityits systemic failure dressed as patriotism," Robbins stated. "Trump is not a patriot. Hes a nationalist, and Americans need to recognize that distinction."On the other hand, Jesus Jerez, a member of the Santa Cruz County Republican Committee, echoed Winns concerns and claimed enforcement had been limited during the last four years."The last four years, there was no enforcement activity," Jerez told Fox News Digital. "[Agents were] told that you can't arrest anybody, but you give them these papers, and you hold them until someone can take them to be processed and then released."Winn underscored Tucsons importance in the national immigration flow."Everything that happens at the border in order to get into the innermost regions of the country. [Tucson is] a stopping point once you go into the country," she said. "It erodes the quality of life here because people don't have [financial] means, so crime gets increased, people steal We are at the effect of whatever is happening at the border."AMERICAS CRIME DROP ISNT A COINCIDENCE. TRUMPS IMMIGRATION POLICIES ARE WORKINGWhen asked about border security changes under Trump, Winn aligned her view with that of Customs and Border Patrol (CBP)."We're not seeing as many illegal immigrants," she said, although she acknowledged that drug smuggling remains an issue in the region."Even though human being smuggling has stopped, the drug smuggling has not. And there's a huge network set up in Arizona. So drugs come over the border in whichever way," Winn said.Winn also outlined the challenges facing Pima County due to what she described as a mismanaged policy."Pima County is experiencing high homelessness, high drug use, and not a lot of solutions, and we're low on police because they underfunded the police over the last three years. So we are at the effects of the bad policies from the last four years. "Although it's getting better, it seems that it got worse, to [the] great detriment of the people of Pima County," she added.TRUMP'S BORDER CRACKDOWN BRINGS 'POSITIVE SHIFT' TO ARIZONA COMMUNITIES AFTER YEARS OF UPHEAVALDan Dellinges, a state committeeman for the Santa Cruz County Republican Party, noted an uptick in property theft along common travel routes."We've had an increase in general property theft along routes of travel [and] pass-throughs here. We also have a number of people who die crossing the desert here to the east, coming into the country illegally, and oftentimes those bodies are discovered by hunters or hikers or side-by-side drivers and then the county or the border patrol comes in and recovers those bodies," he said.Dellinges criticized what he described as a breakdown in cooperation between local and federal authorities."Arizona state constitution recognizes supremacy with federal, United States Constitution. At this county it's not recognized, there's very little cooperation with the federal government," he explained.When asked to expand on this claim, Dellinges pointed to a fundamental disagreement he has with the county sheriff.In the context of immigration enforcement, the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office in Arizona, led by Sheriff David Hathaway, has shown reluctance to fully cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).According to a January report from KGUN9, Hathaway pulled his deputies out of a program where they worked alongside Border Patrol."The City of Nogales, Arizona is 95% Hispanic. The County of Santa Cruz is 80% Hispanic. I don't want there to be fear or tension between the community and my Sheriff's Office. We run the 911 dispatch center for the county, and most households are Hispanic here, so I don't want them to fear that they're inviting an immigration officer, a border patrol agent, into their house if they hear an intruder at the back door. I want them to not fear calling us," he said at the time.Hathaway has pointed to courts ruling that state and local agencies cannot be forced to enforce immigration law, labeling it a federal issue. He also believes his team does not have the specific training or funding necessary for immigration enforcement--instead urging his office to focus on local violent crimes.Jerez warned of the risks posed by letting in large numbers of unvetted migrants."We let in so many people: unknown people, unvetted people, and some very bad people. The people here know how many people came through These people are desperate and they don't know our rules. We're catching up, slowly catching up," he said.He also expressed concern about public complacency.BRUTAL DOWNTOWN BRAWL LEAVES VICTIMS BLOODIED AS CINCINNATI POLICE LAUNCH INVESTIGATION"People are starting to normalize and say, Oh no, we don't have that big of a problem anymore, because they're not remembering. You don't remember pain. I think we've just seen the tip of the iceberg in terms of an escalation of violence, an escalation of damage to the American people," Jerez continued.Winn concluded by supporting Trumps stance on border policy."I believe the Trump administration's assertions that we are safer," she said. "We've done one thing, which is secure the border. The next step is to figure out who's in our country."The Santa Cruz County Democratic Party did not respond to Fox News Digitals request for comment.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP
