The United States of America has now spent almost a decade embroiled in "Russiagate," and its citizens have been bombarded from both sides with theories, names, and anonymous quotes. But it all really comes down to one thing: Democrats lied, and half the country believed them.In the 24 pages of never-before-seen declassified files released Thursday, we saw in cold, calculated black and white exactly how the Clinton campaign crafted the lie that Donald Trump was colluding with Russia to influence the 2016 election.JONATHAN TURLEY: DEMOCRATS PULLED THE GREATEST POLITICAL CON JOB EVER ON AMERICANS. IT'S FINALLY UNRAVELINGOne email allegedly shows Leonard Benardo, vice president of the George Soros backed Open Society Foundation, writing in July 2016 that,"Julie [sic] says it will be a long-term affair to demonize Putin and Trump," adding "Now it is good for a post-convention bounce. Later the FBI will put more oil into the fire."Julie is Julianne Smith, then a foreign policy adviser to the Hillary Clinton campaign. You know who the FBI is.Just two days later, Bernado would allegedly send another email. "HRC approved Julias idea about Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections," it read. "That should distract people from her own missing email, especially if the affair goes to the Olympic level."Benardo would also allegedly write, and this is key, "The point is making the Russian play a U.S. domestic issue," adding, "In absence of direct evidence, Crowdstrike and ThreatConnect will supply the media"This all leads to a gem in the annex to John Durham's Russia hoax probe, released Thursday, which concluded, "During the first stage of the campaign, due to lack of direct evidence, it was decided to disseminate the necessary information through the FBI-affiliated attic-based technical structures that are involved in cybersecurityfrom where the information would then be disseminated through leading US publications."The Clinton campaign knew all too well that their lackeys in the media would eat up this half-baked nonsense with a spoon, and probably win awards for it, which is exactly what happened.What the media wasnt told at the time was that field officers in the CIA objected to the lies and were run over because, according to their then-Director John Brennan "it rings true."This ludicrous legal standard of "rings true," was used to convince the FISA court to renew warrants on Trump officials, which was not only a free federal law enforcement fishing expedition, but created smoke and the appearance of fire.In December of 2016, in the dying days of the Barack Obama administration, intel reports were massaged to once again create the illusion that Trump was a traitor who became president only through Russian assistance.Thus was launched Robert Muellers investigation, which would last for years at a cost of more than $30 million, but ultimately exonerate Trump.Perhaps worst of all, in the midst of this Kafkaesque trial by media and secret courts, people's lives were destroyed, crushed by false allegations, legal bills and a process that was the punishment.One of them is Michael Caputo, a long-time member of Trumps orbit who I talked to on Friday."It is precious little comfort knowing we were right, we need accountability, but even accountability doesnt feed the bulldog," he told me, which was to say the damage to him and his family cannot be undone.Accountability comes in many forms. Caputo may never get the perp walks by former Democrat officials that he understandably desires, but this dastardly lie concocted by Democrats to smear Trump and maintain power has at least been been exposed.According to aSuffolk poll in December of 2018, "Forty-six percent are convinced that there was collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians, while 29 percent said there was no such coordination, and 19 percent werent sure."CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONEvery serious person, whether Democrat or Republican, now admits that this simply was not true. What they must also then admit is that half of Americans believed the lie only because Democrats told it so deceitfully.It was Walter Scott who wrote in his 1808 poem Marmion, "What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive." But in this case, Democrats wanted the web, a web so dense with so many loose ends and round corners that the truth would be forever hidden.It was Shakespeare who wrote "the truth will out," and so it has come out, albeit not before shaking a country to its core and crushing innocent lives.Whatever else comes from the current investigation of Russiagate, one thing is now clear, ready to be etched in the stone of history: The Democrats invented the Russian collusion lie, they did it intentionally, and they suckered their voters into buying it.To everyone involved in this hoax, the message must be clear: This is your legacy, your attempt to deceive the American people and destroy the man they elected to lead them. That is who you are.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM DAVID MARCUS

China is no longer building nuclear weapons solely for deterrence its using them to fuel its ambitions as a dominant power in Asia, seeking to intimidate U.S. allies and undermine American influence across the region, according to a new report.The Hudson Institute warns that by the mid-2030s, China is expected to become a nuclear peer of the United States in both quantity and quality, fielding a modern, survivable and diverse arsenal that includes over 1,000 warheads, a fully developed nuclear triad and tactical nuclear capabilities.However, Beijings goal isnt to win a nuclear war, the report argues. Its to manipulate and degrade trust in Americas nuclear umbrella, particularly among U.S. allies in East and Southeast Asia. By sowing doubt that Washington would defend them in a crisis, China hopes to pressure countries like Japan, the Philippines and South Korea into strategic passivity, giving Beijing more room to act including a potential move on Taiwan without triggering a broader allied response."The purpose of amplifying uncertainty is to manipulate notions of risk to Chinas advantage," the report states. "This is primarily about exacerbating hesitancy among U.S. allies by exploiting persistent fears of abandonment and doubts regarding Americas commitment."JAPAN CALLS AXIS OF CHINA, RUSSIA, NORTH KOREA THE 'GRAVEST THREAT' TO GLOBAL ORDER SINCE WWIIChinas military strategy blends rapid nuclear modernization with psychological operations and information warfare. The country is investing in advanced technologies such as hypersonic boost-glide vehicles and fractional orbital bombardment systems space-based platforms that can deliver nuclear strikes from low-Earth orbit with little warning. Its warheads can now be launched from silos, submarines, road-mobile launchers and aircraft.The report urges the U.S. to "abandon the false hope of arms control" with China and instead embrace a doctrine of strategic ambiguity and instability, one that deters Beijing through strength and unpredictability rather than bilateral disarmament.President Donald Trump has expressed interest in future arms control talks with both China and Russia, but analysts say Beijing has shown little genuine interest in limiting its nuclear forces.The Hudson report devotes case studies to three key allies the Philippines, Japan and South Korea and how China uses nuclear intimidation differently in each case.While Manila is more concerned with gray-zone conflicts in the South China Sea, China may increasingly use implied nuclear threats to dissuade it from hosting U.S. missile systems like the Typhon launcher, which can strike deep into Chinese territory. China has already begun deploying messaging via state-linked outlets that hint at targeting Philippine-based assets.Heavily dependent on the U.S. nuclear umbrella but constrained by strong domestic anti-nuclear sentiment, Tokyo faces an information campaign from Beijing designed to shake confidence in U.S. commitments. China applies psychological pressure to prevent Japan from building counterstrike capabilities or assisting in a conflict over Taiwan.PENTAGON PRESSES JAPAN, AUSTRALIA ON ROLE IN POSSIBLE TAIWAN CONFLICTSeoul remains narrowly focused on North Koreas nuclear threat, not Chinas. It has been reluctant to fully align with U.S. efforts to deter Beijing, and its unclear whether South Korea would permit U.S. forces to use its bases in the event of a Taiwan contingency. China, the report says, is working to keep Seoul compartmentalized and disengaged from the broader East Asian conflict.The report outlines four core recommendations:"Washington and its allies must show that Chinas buildup is backfiring leading not to fear and passivity, but to renewed resolve and regional rearmament," the report says.The report lands ahead of the Pentagons forthcoming global force posture review, expected later this year. The Department of Defense is widely expected to announce a shift in forces from Europe to the Indo-Pacific, reflecting the Biden administrationsand potentially Trumps emphasis on great power competition with China.

As President Donald Trump has faced an onslaught of legal bids to block his agenda during his second term in office, Trump-nominated Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh spoke at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit judicial conference on Thursday, according to reports."Executive branches of both parties over the last 20 years have been increasingly trying to issue executive orders and regulations that achieve the policy objectives of the president in power," Kavanaugh said, according to the New York Times."And I think presidents, whether its President Obama I think the phrase was pen and phone or President Biden or President Trump, have really done more of that, and those get challenged pretty quickly in court," he said, according to CNN.FOX NEWS POLL: APPROVAL OF SCOTUS AT 5-YEAR HIGH, REBOUNDING FROM RECORD LOW IN 2024Unlike regular Supreme Court rulings that fully explain the rationale behind the decision, decisions on the high court's emergency docket may go unexplained."Weve been doing certainly more written opinions on the interim orders docket than weve done in the past," Kavanaugh said, according to CNN.SCOTUS TO DISCUSS GHISLAINE MAXWELL'S CASE PRIVATELY IN SEPTEMBER AT POST-SUMMER CONFERENCEThough he noted that issuing written opinions may pose the "risk" of "lock-in effect" in which that opinion does not "reflect the final view," reports indicate.Kavanaugh described the court's "collegiality" as "very strong," noting that the nine members on the bench "look out for each other" and consider one another "patriots" and "good people," according to reports.Trump nominated Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court during his first term in office.US JUDGE BLOCKS TRUMP EFFORT TO CUT PLANNED PARENTHOOD FUNDINGHe also nominated Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch, meaning he chose one third of the current justices.

The positive effects of GLP-1 medications extend beyond just diabetes control and weight loss.GLP-1s, also known as GLP-1 agonists, are a type of drug that mimics a natural hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 that helps to regulate blood sugar levels.Experts claim that these medications which include semaglutide (such as Ozempic and Wegovy) or tirzepatide (Mounjaro and Zepbound) can also help with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).POPULAR WEIGHT-LOSS DRUGS SHOW PROMISING NEW POWER AGAINST DEBILITATING MIGRAINESRA, a chronic autoimmune disease that occurs when the immune system attacks its own tissues, causes inflammation, pain and stiffness in the joints, according to Mayo Clinic.GLP-1 medications have been found to help relieve painful arthritis symptoms, potentially through weight loss.Various studies have shown an association between being overweight or obese and the risk of developing RA.A 2020 study published in the journal Nature specified that having a higher body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference was linked to a greater prevalence of the condition.Sue Decotiis, M.D., a medical weight-loss doctor in New York City, said that in her own practice, shes witnessed patients experience "tremendous relief" for inflammatory arthritis disease after taking GLP-1s."This is not just rheumatoid arthritis, but also mixed connective tissue disease," she said in an interview with Fox News Digital. "Most patients were actually able to stop their arthritis medications."While much remains to be learned about these alternate uses for GLP-1s and how they function, Decotiis noted that fat cells produce certain substances, like cytokines or adipokines, that can increase inflammation throughout the body and impact how the immune system functions."Cytokines produced in excess can harm the body," she said. "With COVID, some patients who died had experienced a cytokine storm, where the immune system overresponded to the infection."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERDecotiis clarified that it is not yet confirmed that the reported anti-arthritis effect of GLP-1s is associated with weight loss, although she said she's seen this benefit continue even on a low dose of the drug.The expert said she has also noticed a wide range of other positive effects associated with GLP-1 medications, including reduced alcohol intake and less reliance on ADD and anti-anxiety medications.The popular drugs have also been linked to a reduced risk of migraines, Alzheimers disease and even some cancers."Anyone considering using GLP-1s should be followed by a physician knowledgeable in their usage and weighed on a body composition scale," Decotiis recommended.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/health"Someone who is not overweight would have to be followed very carefully. Therefore, accessing these drugs from an online platform without in-person physician care is not advisable."

The former girlfriend and convicted accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein is now at a new prison facility, Fox News Digital has learned.Ghislaine Maxwell has been transferred from a federal prison facility in Tallahassee, Florida, to the Bureau of Prisons at the Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Bryan, Texas, her attorney confirmed to Fox News Digital.Neither the Bureau of Prisons nor Maxwells attorney provided an explanation for the move.GHISLAINE MAXWELL ASKS SUPREME COURT TO OVERTURN CONVICTION CITING EPSTEIN IMMUNITY DEALThe update comes one week after Maxwell met with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche at a Florida courthouse to answer questions regarding her involvement in Epsteins years of sex crimes, in which Maxwell helped procure underage girls for the disgraced financier to abuse.The meeting came just days after the House Oversight Committee issued a subpoena asking Maxwell to testify in front of lawmakers regarding Epsteins crimes. Maxwells legal team has since asserted she would consider testifying if granted immunity a demand the panel swiftly rejected.JEFFREY EPSTEIN ACCOMPLICE GHISLAINE MAXWELL TO SEE HOW FEDS MEETING PLAYS OUT AMID SUBPOENA: BROTHER"She welcomes the opportunity to share the truth and to dispel the many misconceptions and misstatements that have plagued this case from the beginning," her lawyers previously said.Separately, Maxwells attorneys filed a brief asking the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday to hear her appeal of her 2021 conviction,saying that she should have been included in Epstein's non-prosecution agreement. The court is set to discuss taking the case at a private conference on Sept. 29.Maxwell has reemerged in national headlines as conversations regarding the scope of Epsteins crimes have heated up as the Department of Justice looks to unseal court records containing grand jury testimony from both Epstein and Maxwells cases.EPSTEIN ACCUSER VIRGINIA GIUFFRE'S FAMILY SAYS TRUMP 'SHOULD NEVER CONSIDER GIVING MAXWELL ANY LENIENCY'Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in procuring underage girls for Epstein.She recently appealed to President Donald Trump to pardon her sentence a possibility Trump has previously said is within his right to consider, but he has not been asked to do so yet.However, a senior administration official told Fox News Digital that "no leniency is being given or discussed.""Thats just false. The President himself has said that clemency for Maxwell is not something he is even thinking about at this time."Maxwell is scheduled to testify in front of the committee on Aug. 11.

President Donald Trump announced Friday that he has "ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions" following "highly provocative statements" made by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.Medvedev said earlier this week that Trump's new deadline for Russia to end the conflict with Ukraine is an additional "step towards war.""Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that," Trump said in a post on Truth Social."Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances," he added.MEDVEDEV WARNS TRUMP'S NEW DEADLINE TO END RUSSIA-UKRAINE CONFLICT IS A STEP TOWARDS WARThere was no immediate response to Trump's comments from Russia. The Russian Foreign Ministry did not immediately respond Friday to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.Medvedev, now the deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia, cautioned that Trumps announcement Monday that Russia must end the conflict with Ukraine in 10 to 12 days would not end well for the U.S. "Trump's playing the ultimatum game with Russia: 50 days or 10 He should remember 2 things: 1. Russia isn't Israel or even Iran. 2. Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country," Medvedev said in a post on X on Monday. "Don't go down the Sleepy Joe road!"While Trump announced on July 14 that he would sign off on "severe tariffs" against Russia if Moscow failed to agree to a peace deal within 50 days, Trump said Monday that waiting that period of time was futile amid stalled negotiations. "Im going to make a new deadline, of about 10 10 or 12 days from today," Trump told reporters from Scotland. "Theres no reason for waiting. It was 50 days. I wanted to be generous, but we just dont see any progress being made."Trumps remarks come as his frustration with Putin has grown in recent weeks amid no progress toward peace between Russia and Ukraine, and just a day after Russia launched more than 300 drones, four cruise missiles and three ballistic missiles into Ukraine, according to the Ukrainian air force.Trump also wrote on Truth Social Friday that "I have just been informed that almost 20,000 Russian soldiers died this month in the ridiculous War with Ukraine."Russia has lost 112,500 soldiers since the beginning of the year. That is a lot of unnecessary DEATH! Ukraine, however, has also suffered greatly. They have lost approximately 8,000 soldiers since January 1, 2025, and that number does not include their missing," the president added. "Ukraine has also lost civilians, but in smaller numbers, as Russian rockets crash into Kyiv, and other Ukrainian locales. This is a War that should have never happened This is Bidens War, not TRUMPs. Im just here to see if I can stop it!"Fox News' Diana Stancy contributed to this report.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is going into a critical second season, but he doesnt feel any pressure.Williams, 23, led the Bears to a 4-2 start before losing their next 10 games.The losing streak prompted the team to fire head coach Matt Eberflus with five games remaining in the season.

With the rise of social media use in children, many people, especially parents, are worried about their online safety.The concern is not unwarranted, as it's no secret that thousands (maybe even millions) of predators lurk on these platforms. Luckily, Meta has released several new features aimed at protecting teens on their two biggest platforms: Facebook and Instagram.Meta's initiative aims to create a safer online environment in two ways. The first way targets accounts that display predatory behavior, and the second makes it easy for teens to spot and report suspicious activity.META AIS NEW CHATBOT RAISES PRIVACY ALARMSMeta's latest update has improved the direct messaging protections on its platforms. Specifically, teens will now get safety tips to check who's messaging them. For instance, a huge red flag is when a child is contacted on social media by a recently created account (a tactic used to hide identities, bypass restrictions, and scam people). To help teens immediately spot this, Meta will show them the date the account was created.Furthermore, the platform will make it easier for teens to block and report accounts. They will be able to cut all communication and notify Meta of inappropriate behavior with a single click. This will give these kids the power to quickly protect themselves and others when they don't feel safe.In addition, Meta is testing new AI-powered tools to detect when users may be misrepresenting their age. If the system flags an account as likely belonging to a teen, it will automatically shift that user into a Teen Account to apply appropriate safety restrictions. This proactive use of AI helps ensure that minors receive protections even if they try to bypass age limits.Meta has also made behind-the-scenes algorithm changes to reduce the visibility of content that may attract predators. For example, Instagram will stop recommending child-focused, adult-managed accounts to adults who have shown suspicious behavior. This move is designed to limit exploitative discovery before any direct interaction can occur.In a transparent move, Meta revealed it had removed more than 600,000 accounts for predatory behavior across Instagram and Facebook. That is a staggeringly high number and just goes to show how much children were at risk.WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?What's more? Meta caught about 135,000 of them sexualizing children red-handed. They either left comments or requested images that sexually exploit them on other adult-operated accounts. The removal of these accounts shows that Meta is ready to take an active stand against these threats before someone becomes a victim.If you're a parent or a guardian, you can breathe a little sigh of relief that Meta is making great strides to make your child more digitally literate. If they understand how scammers operate, they become more resilient and masters of their online safety.GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HEREHowever, it's still your responsibility to stay informed about what your teen is up to online. Use these updates as a chance to openly talk about online safety with your young ones, especially when it comes to reporting inappropriate content.Protecting teens online is a high priority, and it's great that Meta is showing a growing commitment toward this. Preventing the exploitation and abuse of children is something that all platforms should be proactive about. These updates and removal of accounts are just the beginning steps to creating a space where children feel safe. It's important to acknowledge that there will always be risks on these platforms, but giving teens the tools to fight back is extremely welcome.Do you think there is more Meta can do to protect teens on their platforms?

One man risked dinner and domestic peace when he refused to eat sun-warmed poultry that his wife was planning to prepare, according to a viral social media post.Writing on Reddit's 24-million-member "Am I the A--hole" forum on July 26, the man said the spat began after his wife decided to try a new recipe for dinner."It's a one-pot chicken thing with orzo," he wrote. "She ordered the groceries online this morning and then went to collect them around 11 a.m. She got back home around midday and unloaded everything from the car."FED-UP WOMAN REFUSES TO BE BREAKFAST CHEF FOR SISTER'S CHILDREN: 'GO ASK YOUR MOM'But around 5:30 p.m., his wife suddenly asked where the chicken went and found that it had been sitting in the trunk of their car all afternoon."The chicken wasn't a frozen chicken," the man clarified. "The chicken was a whole, fresh, raw chicken, in a sealed bag.""Although it wasn't a particularly warm day, we still had a high of [60 degrees Fahrenheit] and our car was sitting out in the sunshine all afternoon."The wife said that the chicken was still "cool to the touch," which the man hesitantly agreed with it wasn't warm, he said, but he wouldn't call it "overly cold."WOMAN WHO FINDS MEAL PREP 'EXHAUSTING' SLAMMED FOR NOT COOKING 'FANCIER' FOODS"It's safe to say it was somewhere between fridge temperature and room temperature," he wrote.The Redditor quickly told his wife he wasn't interested in eating the chicken."She tells me we're [still] going to eat the chicken," he recalled. "I go back to the couch and start Googling how long you can leave a chicken in the car."Despite going back-and-forth, the wife continued preparing the chicken until the husband had an idea."I pitch the idea that she can have the chicken and I can just make something simple for my dinner," he said. "She's not thrilled because she wanted to make this meal for me."FAMILY VACATION DRAMA ERUPTS OVER GRANDMOTHER'S REQUEST FOR DINNER WITH HER GROWN KIDS ONLYThe man said he told her that he was "not going to eat it" and felt as if he was "being made to eat a chicken against my will."She then got into the car and left "in search of another chicken from the store."But the man admitted that he felt "like a bit of an a--hole about it.""I also feel like we may have wasted a perfectly good chicken," he said.But most of the comments posted on the thread which attracted over 2,000 responses affirmed his fears.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER"You know what's worse than throwing out a chicken? Food poisoning," the top comment read. "I would not have eaten that chicken either.""I have a realllllllyyy loose attitude toward food safety and I wouldn't eat that chicken," another person chimed in.One user who attested to working in restaurants for two decades, however, had a different take."I would've eaten it," the commenter wrote in part. "Still cool to the touch and getting cooked fully? It's fine." Another wrote, "Youre about to cook it. It's not had time to rot, especially if it's cool to the touch. Everyone in these comments is overreacting."Bryan Quoc Le, Ph.D., a food scientist with Mendocino Food Consulting in California, told Fox News Digital the risk in the Reddit situation is "very high."For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyle"It has been several hours-plus inside a car, which will be at a much higher temperature than the surrounding air," he said."Bacteria grow very fast every 10 degrees higher than refrigeration temperature, exponentially so every 20 minutes. They are right that it is not safe to eat."Le added that, hypothetically, one could try cooking the chicken which would destroy pathogenic bacteria. But that doesn't solve the issue, he said."It's the toxins they leave behind that can be a problem, which tend to be heat-resistant," the expert said."It's not worth the risk. A single chicken is not that expensive compared to the food poisoning you could experience."

Gary Busey pleaded guilty to a sex crimeBusey, 81, pleaded guilty to one count of fourth-degree criminal sexual contact connected to accusations from the Monster-Mania Convention on August 13, 2022."It was not an accidental touching," Busey confirmed in court Thursday, according to Court TV.
