WWW.FOXNEWS.COMKaty Perry and Justin Trudeau spark dating rumors, joining high stakes world of celeb-politician romancesKaty Perry is rumored to be in a new relationship with former Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau.The two were first spotted out having dinner together at Le Violon in Montreal in late July, with an eyewitness telling TMZ the rumored couple had some drinks and could be seen sharing many dishes together.Just a few days later, photos of Trudeau at Perry's concert at Montreals Bell Centre were posted on social media, in which the politician could be seen smiling alongside his 16-year-old daughter, Ella-Grace. In other footage from the concert, Trudeau can be seen singing along to Perry's hit song, "Dark Horse."Rumors of their relationship come following news of Perry's breakup with actor Orlando Bloom. The former couple originally dated for a year from 2016 to 2017, later reconnecting in February 2018. After getting engaged in February 2019, they welcomed their daughter Daisy in August 2020 before ultimately calling off their engagement in June 2025.NEWLY SINGLE KATY PERRY ENJOYS INTIMATE DINNER WITH FORMER CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER DURING WORLD TOUR BREAKSoon after Trudeau and Perry were spotted out together, The Onion shared an Instagram post featuring a fake photo of Bloom and German Chancellor Angela Merkel out to dinner together."Just weeks after announcing his split with fiance Katy Perry, English actor Orlando Bloom was photographed Friday dining with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel." the caption read. "Angela kept Orlando laughing all nighthe couldnt keep his eyes off her! said an insider source who spotted the pair sipping wine, slurping oysters, and splitting a decadent piece of chocolate layer cake at a Michelin-starred restaurant."The "Lord of the Rings" actor seemingly enjoyed the joke, leaving three clapping emojis in the comments section.Perry is not the only star to set her sights on a politician, with some even going on to marry them. Here are some other celebrities who have dated famous politicians.After first connecting in early 2018, sparks flew between actress Rosario Dawson and Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., when they reconnected in early 2019. The two were spotted at a meet and greet with the cast of "Dear Evan Hanson" on Broadway.Dawson seemingly confirmed their relationship when questioned by TMZ while at the airport in Washington, D.C., in March 2019, when she told reporters, "Hes a wonderful human being. Its good to spend some time together when we can."The "Jane the Virgin" star would go on to support her partner during his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination throughout 2019 and 2020, later attending the inauguration of former President Joe Biden with him in January 2021. After over two years of dating, however, a source close to the couple confirmed in February 2022 that the two had gone their separate ways.Elizabeth Taylor met her sixth husband, John Warner, in 1976 while on a blind date, and the rest is history. The couple went on to get married just five months after their first date, with Taylor telling Larry King in 2001, "I thought we would get married, live on the farm, raise horses."In the end, however, Warner set his sights on the United States Senate, and with Taylor's support, won a seat in the legislative branch in 1979 as the senator for Virginia. The demands of being a public servant would go on to put a strain on their marriage and, after a 14-month separation, they divorced in 1982.FORMER SEN. JOHN WARNER AND ELIZABETH TAYLOR MET ON A BLIND DATE WITH QUEEN ELIZABETH"He knows he wasnt the love of my life. And I know I wasnt the love of his life," Taylor told The New York Times in 2002. "But we loved each other. We got along wonderfully until he decided to be a politician. And then he married the Senate."Cheryl Hines and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. first met in 2006 while on a ski trip, but as they were both married to other people at the time, they didn't start dating until late 2011, later confirming their relationship in 2012. They went on to get engaged in April 2014 and tied the knot later that year in August.Although the couple spent years keeping their relationship private, the two were thrust into the spotlight when RFK Jr. announced in April 2023 that he would be running for president.Hines stood by his side during his campaign for the presidency and again later during his confirmation hearings prior to his appointment as the United States secretary of Health and Human Services.Sheryl Lee Ralph and her husband Vincent Hughes first met in the early 2000s and went on to tie the knot in 2005.Hughes has held his position as a Pennsylvania state senator since 1994, and due to both his and Ralph's demanding work schedules, they haven't lived in the same city throughout their marriage."First of all, 20 years, keeping this marriage together, you have to be together sometime," she told the Philadelphia Inquirer in February 2023. "Vincent is not able to leave the state the way I can leave the state. In fact, in 20 years of our being together, I'm going to say my husband has maybe been in California, maybe, 25 times. That means I'm in Philadelphia every two weeks."Montel Williams' past relationship with former Vice President Kamala Harris was brought to light in 2019, when photos of the two of them surfaced on social media and rumors about her dating history were perpetuated on X during her bid for the 2020 presidential nomination."@KamalaHarris and I briefly dated about 20 years ago when we were both single. So what?" Williams posted in 2019 in defense of Harris during the 2019 Democratic primary. "I have great respect for Sen. Harris. I have to wonder if the same stories about her dating history would have been written if she were a male candidate?"Since breaking things off with Williams, she married Doug Emhoff in 2014.In her memoir, "My Name is Barbra," singer Barbra Streisand went into detail about her relationship with former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, whom she met in 1968 at the premiere of her movie, "Funny Girl." She recalled telling her friend, "That's the kind of man I would like to date." Pierre is the father of Justin Trudeau."He was so elegant, yet totally unpretentious and perpetually curious... an adventurer who had backpacked through the Middle East and Asia as a young man," Streisand wrote in her book. "And he had real charisma, generating so much excitement before and after his election that the Canadian press gave it a name... Trudeaumania."The two ultimately dated for one year, with Streisand writing, "My brain was in love, but not my body." They remained great friends until his death in 2000, writing in her book, "the world lost a great leader... and I lost a great friend."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSFormer Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau also had a brief romance with Kim Cattrall in 1981, after they met at the premiere of her movie, "Tribute.""I asked myself, How do you go about getting a date with the prime minister? and then I just decided to call him up and ask for one," the "Sex and the City" star told Macleans at the time. "Hes certainly a dream of a date. Very charming, kind and a total gentleman."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERSandra Lee and former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo began dating in 2005, and while they never married, they were together until September 2019 after 14 years together."Over the recent past, we have realized that our lives have gone in different directions and our romantic relationship has turned into a deep friendship," they said in a joint statement at the time. "We will always be family and are fully supportive of each other and dedicated to the girls. Our personal lives remain personal and there will be no further comment."0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 8 Visualizações 0 Anterior

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMRussia and China tick Doomsday Clock toward midnight as Hiroshima bombing hits 80 yearsWednesday marks the 80th anniversary of when the U.S. employed the first ever nuclear bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima, followed by the bombing of Nagasaki three days later on Aug. 9. But despite nearly a century of lessons learned, nuclear warfare still remains a significant threat."This is the first time that the United States is facing down two nuclear peer adversaries Russia and China," Rebeccah Heinrichs, nuclear expert and senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, told Fox News Digital.Heinrichs explained that not only are Moscow and Beijing continuing to develop new nuclear capabilities and delivery systems, but they are increasingly collaborating with one another in direct opposition to the West, and more pointedly, the U.S.TRUMP LIFTS VEIL ON US SUBMARINES IN WARNING SHOT TO KREMLIN IN 'CLEVER' REPOSITIONING MOVE"Its a much more complex nuclear threat environment than what the United States even had to contend with during the Cold War, where we just had one nuclear peer adversary in the Soviet Union," she said. "In that regard, it's a serious problem, especially when both China and Russia are investing in nuclear capabilities and at the same time have revanchist goals."Despite the known immense devastation that would accompany an atomic war between two nuclear nations, concern has been growing that the threat of nuclear war is on the rise.The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki which collectively killed some 200,000 people, not including the dozens of thousands who later died from radiation poisoning and cancer have been attributed with bringing an end to World War II.But the bombs did more than end the deadliest war in human history they forever changed military doctrine, sparked a nuclear arms race and cemented the concept of deterrence through the theory of mutually assured destruction.Earlier this year the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists moved forward the "Doomsday Clock" by one second pushing it closer to "midnight," or atomic meltdown, than ever before.In January, the board of scientists and security officials in charge of the 78-year-old clock, which is used to measure the threat level of nuclear warfare, said that moving the clock to 89 seconds to midnight "signals that the world is on a course of unprecedented risk, and that continuing on the current path is a form of madness."TRUMP CONFIRMS 2 NUCLEAR SUBMARINES ARE 'IN THE REGION' TO COUNTER RUSSIADespite the escalated nuclear threats coming out of North Korea, and international concern over the Iranian nuclear program, the threat level largely came down to the three biggest players in the nuclear arena: Russia, the U.S. and China.The increased threat level was attributed to Russias refusal to comply with international nuclear treaties amid its continuously escalating war in Ukraine and its hostile opposition to NATO nations, as well as Chinas insistence on expanding its nuclear arsenal.But the Bulletin, which was founded by scientists on the Manhattan Project in 1945 to inform the public of the dangers of atomic warfare, also said the U.S. has a role in the increased nuclear threat level."The U.S. has abdicated its role as a voice of caution. It seems inclined to expand its nuclear arsenal and adopt a posture that reinforces the belief that limited use of nuclear weapons can be managed," the Bulletin said. "Such misplaced confidence could have us stumble into a nuclear war."But Heinrichs countered the "alarmist" message and argued that deterrence remains a very real protectant against nuclear warfare, even as Russia increasingly threatens Western nations with atomic use."I do think that it's a serious threat. I don't think it's inevitable that we're sort of staring down nuclear Armageddon," she said.CHINAS GROWING NUCLEAR ARSENAL AIMS TO BREAK US ALLIANCES AND DOMINATE ASIA, REPORT WARNSHeinrichs argued the chief threat is not the number of nuclear warheads a nation possesses, but in how they threaten to employ their capabilities."I think that whenever there is a threat of nuclear use, it's because adversaries, authoritarian countries, in particular Russia, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to invade another country. And that's where the greatest risk of deterrence failure is," she said. "It's not because of the sheer number of nuclear weapons."Heinrichs said Russia is lowering the nuclear threshold by routinely threatening to employ nuclear weapons in a move to coerce Western nations to capitulate to their demands, as in the case of capturing territory in Ukraine and attempting to deny it NATO access.Instead, she argued that the U.S. and its allies need to improve their deterrence by not only staying on top of their capabilities but expanding their nuclear reach in regions like the Indo-Pacific."The answer is not to be so afraid of it or alarmed that you capitulate, because you're only going to beget more nuclear coercion if you do that," she said. "The answer is to prudently, carefully communicate to the Russians they are not going to succeed through nuclear coercion, that the United States also has credible response options."We also have nuclear weapons, and we have credible and proportional responses, and so they shouldn't go down that path," Heinrichs said. "That's how we maintain the nuclear peace. That's how we deter conflict. And that's how we ensure that a nuclear weapon is not used."0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 8 Visualizações 0 Anterior

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMSugar in drinks linked to higher diabetes risk than that in food, new research findsA massive study on sugar and type 2 diabetes found that it's far healthier to eat your sugar than to drink it.Researchers from Brigham Young University (BYU) in Utah, along with academics in Germany, analyzed data from 29 studies of over 800,000 people across the U.S., Europe, Asia, Australia and Latin America.The study, published in the journal Advances in Nutrition in May, found that sugar consumed in beverages like soda and fruit juice was consistently linked to a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D), while sugar eaten in whole foods wasn't.AMERICANS' HIGH SUGAR CONSUMPTION PROMPTS URGENT WARNING FROM HEALTH LEADERS"Most recommendations lump all sugars together or focus broadly on added sugars," Karen Della Corte, lead author and BYU nutritional science professor, told Fox News Digital."But our research shows that the health impact of sugar depends greatly on how it's consumed."The data showed that each daily 12-ounce serving of sugar-sweetened beverages like soda or energy drinks increased diabetes risk by 25%, while an 8-ounce serving of fruit juice including 100% fruit juice, nectars and juice drinks raised it by 5%.The risks are relative, however meaning that if someone has a 10% chance of developing type 2 diabetes, drinking four sodas a day could raise that risk to about 20%, not 100%.EXPERTS SAY QUITTING DIET COKE CAN IMPROVE HEART HEALTH AND GUT BALANCEMeanwhile, natural sugars in whole foods like fruit or even some added sugar in other fiber-rich foods were not linked to an increased risk and, in some cases, may even be protective.The difference is that sugary drinks deliver large amounts of rapidly absorbed sugar with no fiber, protein or fat to slow digestion, overwhelming the body's ability to manage blood glucose and insulin, Della Corte said.Sugars in whole foods, however, are surrounded by fiber, protein and healthy fats that slow down digestion and help the body manage blood sugar.While the study is observational and can't prove sugary drinks cause type 2 diabetes, it provides strong evidence that the relationship isn't simply due to broader unhealthy habits the drinks pose an independent risk.For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyle"Lifestyle behaviors always play a role in chronic disease risk, but our analysis shows that the link between sugary drinks and type 2 diabetes persists independent of other factors like physical activity, weight status or smoking," Della Corte said."Sugary drinks appear to be uniquely harmful on their own."Over 38 million Americans about 12% of the U.S. population have diabetes, approximately 90% to 95% of which are type 2, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).The prevalence of diabetes has risen from 9.7% to 14.3% over the past 20 years, per the agency.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERDietary guidelines should focus not just on the amount of sugar consumed but how it's eaten, the researchers said.Future studies are also needed to understand how the form and context of sugar affect metabolism and insulin response, Della Corte added, and long-term controlled trials on how the liver processes sugar in different foods would help clarify its impact on type 2 diabetes risk."There is room for sugar in the human diet, and our study showed that moderate amounts can even be protective," she said. "It's the source form and context that matter most."Fox News Digital reached out to the Washington, D.C.-based American Beverage Association for comment.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 8 Visualizações 0 Anterior

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMColbert confronts JB Pritzker with map showing Illinois gerrymanderingLate-night host Stephen Colbert confronted Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker with gerrymandered maps of Illinois congressional districts on Tuesday amid Texas Republicans' efforts to redraw the state's congressional map."If you are considering doing a little more redrawing in Illinois, you already have some crazy districts in Illinois. Take a look at this. Look at [district] 17 here. It does that, then it comes up here, and it sneaks around there and goes all the way up here and then goes right over there like that," Colbert said as he gestured, describing the districts. "Is this common for all states to do?"Texas House Republicans have introduced a redistricting proposal that could net them five new GOP seats. The draft congressional map, which is likely to change before approval by both state legislative chambers, aims to redraw district lines to include more Republican-leaning areas in Democratic strongholds like Dallas and Houston. The move has prompted Texas Democrats to leave the state in order to halt the vote, and Pritzker put himself at the center of the national discussion by offering refuge in Illinois.Pritzker joked that a kindergarten class drew the map, and called it his independent commission.'ALL-OUT WAR': FLEEING TEXAS DEMS SIDE WITH NEWSOM AS REDISTRICTING STANDOFF CONTINUES: 'FIRE WITH FIRE'The comedian pulled up another map that moved upward sharply and joked, "Its like a stinger on a scorpion.""So because all states to a certain extent do this, why is what Texas [is] doing particularly egregious in this case?" Colbert followed up.Pritzker, who could have 2028 White House aspirations, pivoted to attacking Texas Republicans redrawing maps "at the behest of Donald Trump" and "doing it mid-decade.""That is extraordinarily rare," Pritzker claimed. "And the way they are doing it is taking voting rights away from Black and Brown people. They are literally obliterating districts that were written according to the Voting Rights Act. So this is going to end up in court if they are actually able to do it."Pritzker said the Texas House Democrats were in Illinois to stop the GOP efforts and protect the country.Earlier in the discussion, Colbert asked Pritzker if he would consider doing what California Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed, a redistricting effort in his state that would only trigger if the Texas redistricting plan goes through.HOCHUL VOWS TO 'FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE' ON REDISTRICTING WHILE HOSTING TEXAS DEMOCRATS WHO FLED STATE"Its possible, and Ive said everything is on the table. Weve got to fight fire with fire. They frankly tossed the rulebook out, and they are just acting in [an] unconstitutional fashion and what we are going to have to do is whatever it takes to preserve democracy," Pritzker said.Colbert also asked Pritzker about Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, requesting the FBI's help in locating and arresting the Democratic Texas lawmakers.The liberal late-night host wondered if the FBI could legally do that.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"They have not broken any federal law, and frankly, in the state of Illinois we are not going to let them get taken away. We are going to protect the Texas House Democrats," Pritzker said.Fox News' Amanda Macias contributed to this report.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 27 Visualizações 0 Anterior

WWW.FOXNEWS.COM2 juveniles arrested in bloody DC attack on ex-DOGE worker known as Big BallsAuthorities announced the arrest of two teens in connection with the brutal beating of a former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employeethat allegedly took place during an attempted carjacking in the nations capital over the weekend.A 15-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl, both of Hyattsville, Md., now face charges of unarmed carjacking, Washington D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department said Tuesday. Police did not provide their identities as both suspects are juveniles.Police said the investigation remains ongoing, with multiple suspects still outstanding.The victim, Edward Coristine, nicknamed "Big Balls," was assaulted around 3:00 a.m. Sunday by a group of teenagers in the citys Logan Circle neighborhood. The teens attempted to carjack him and a woman, whom police identified as his significant other, according to authorities.TRUMP WARNS HE WILL TAKE 'FEDERAL CONTROL' OF WASHINGTON, DC AS YOUTH VIOLENCE CONTINUESPolice said Coristine pushed the woman into the vehicle for safety and turned to confront the group. At least several of the teens then attacked him, police said, until officers patrolling nearby intervened. As officers moved toward the group, the teens fled on foot.Coristine, one of the most visible figures of President Donald Trumps DOGE, was left bloodied in the attack, according to a photo the president shared on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday.The assault prompted Trump to threaten to federalize Washington, D.C., calling for local minors and gang members over the age of 14 to be prosecuted as adults."The most recent victim was beaten mercilessly by local thugs," Trump wrote. "Perhaps it should have been done a long time ago, then this incredible young man, and so many others, would not have had to go through the horrors of Violent Crime. If this continues, I am going to exert my powers, and FEDERALIZE this City. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"MOTHER OF SLAIN CONGRESSIONAL INTERN SAYS DC COUNCIL TREATS VIOLENT CRIME LIKE A 'JOKE' AMID UNSOLVED KILLINGFormer DOGE head Elon Musk weighed in on X, sharing more of the story."A few days ago, a gang of about a dozen young men tried to assault a woman in her car at night in DC," Musk wrote. "A @Doge team member saw what was happening, ran to defend her and was severely beaten to the point of concussion, but he saved her. It is time to federalize DC."The president said itappears criminals are "not afraid"of the police, because "nothing ever happens to them.""Washington, D.C.must be safe, clean, and beautiful for all Americans and, importantly, for the World to see," he wrote in the post. "If D.C. doesnt get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that theyre not going to get away with it anymore."Fox News Digitals Alexandra Koch and Brooke Singman, along with the Assoicated Press contributed to this report.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 25 Visualizações 0 Anterior

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMSenate Democrats are feverishly recruiting top candidates to win back majority in 2026 midtermsAs they mount their uphill effort to win back the Senate majority in next year's midterm elections, Democrats feel that they're on a roll.Late last month, they landed their biggest recruit to date, when former two-term Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper of North Carolina declared his candidacy in the 2026 race to succeed retiring Republican Sen. Thom Tillis.Democrats view the open Senate seat in the crucial southeastern battleground state as a top pick-up opportunity next year as they try to win back control of the Senate, which the Republicans currently hold with a 53-47 majority."Its hard to overstate the importance of getting Gov. Cooper to run for the Senate in North Carolina, and already we are seeing a potential for a ripple effect," longtime Democratic strategist Chris Moyer told Fox News Digital.THIS REPUBLICAN JUST JUMPED INTO BATTLEGROUND GEORGIA'S HIGH-PROFILE SENATE RACEMoyer, a veteran campaign communicator, said that Cooper recruitment is "giving more faith to potential candidates who are questioning whether theres a chance for a Democratic majority in the Senate next year."Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) Chair Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, after landing Cooper, said he "is a formidable candidate who will flip North Carolinas Senate seat."Top Democrats now have their eyes on former Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio, who lost last year's re-election bid in a onetime top swing state that's become reliably red over the past decade.WHAT A TOP POLITICAL HANDICAPPER SAID ABOUT THE DEMOCRATS' CHANCES TO WIN BACK SENATE IN 2026Schumer, the top Democrat in the Senate, trekked to Ohio this summer in hopes of convincing Brown to take on Republican Sen. Jon Husted, Fox News confirmed.Brown, who served over three decades in the House and later the Senate, is viewed by Democrats as the only candidate who could potentially topple Husted, who was named at the beginning of this year to fill the seat left vacant when then-Sen. JD Vance stepped down to become vice president.Democrats landed the candidate they were hoping for in swing state New Hampshire in the race to succeed retiring longtime Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.Four-term Rep. Chris Pappas' announcement in early April that he would run to succeed Shaheen has cleared the Democratic primary field, as of now, of any potential rivals for the party's Senate nomination.Meanwhile, a Republican primary in the state where the GOP hasn't won a Senate race in 15 years is heating up between former Sen. Scott Brown and state Sen. Dan Innis, with the possibility of more candidates entering the race.In battleground Georgia, which President Donald Trump narrowly carried in last year's White House race, Republicans view first-term Sen. Jon Ossoff as the most vulnerable Democrat incumbent up for re-election next year.But Ossoff is off to a very hot fundraising start, and a GOP primary between Reps. Mike Collins and Buddy Carter, and former college and professional football coach Derek Dooley, is starting to turn combustible.Of potential concern for the Democrats is Michigan, where the dynamics appear to be the opposite of Georgia, in the race to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters.Former Rep. Mike Rogers, the 2024 GOP Senate nominee who narrowly lost last year's race, appears to have cleared the Republican, thanks in great part to Trump's endorsement and likely arm twisting by the president's political team.Democrats, meanwhile, have a very competitive primary on their hands. The primary race includes three well-known Democrats: Rep. Haley Stevens, state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, and former gubernatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who enjoys the backing of progressive champion Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.And popular Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan is running for the Senate as an independent, which could potentially hurt Democrats in the general election.While Texas has long been a reliable red state, and conservative firebrand Sen. Ted Cruz comfortably won re-election last year, Democrats are optimistic about their 2026 chances to potentially flip a red seat to blue.That's because longtime GOP Sen. John Cornyn is facing a serious primary challenge from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a MAGA world rockstar.Paxton has long been surrounded by scandals, and is now dealing with a headline-grabbing divorce with his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxtom. And Democrats believe if Paxton topples Cornyn in next March's GOP primary, he'll be toxic in the general election.But Democrats could have a competitive primary in Texas as well.Former Rep. Colin Allred, who lost to Cruz last November, launched a second straight campaign earlier this year.Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke, who came close to ousting Cruz in the state's 20218 Senate election before unsuccessfully running for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination and losing the 2022 Texas gubernatorial race to GOP Gov. Greg Abbott, is taking a hard look at a 2026 Senate run.State Rep. James Talarico, who grabbed national attention recently for his appearance with popular podcaster Joe Rogan, and Rep. Joaquin Castro, are also mulling bids.Democrats also feel they may have a shot in Iowa a onetime swing state that's become firmly red in recent election cycles if Republican Sen. Joni Ernst decides against seeking a third term in the Senate.But they'll likely have a much better chance of flipping a GOP-held seat in blue state Maine if longtime Republican incumbent Sen. Susan Collins decides against seeking re-election.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 4 Visualizações 0 Anterior

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMEXCLUSIVE: Trump admin nixes giant wind farm approved 'last-minute' by Biden teamFIRST ON FOX: President Donald Trump's Interior Department is canceling what would have been one of the largest land-based wind farms in the United States after former President Joe Biden's "last-minute" push to approve the project during his final weeks in office.The Lava Ridge Wind Project, approved in December 2024 by the Biden administration's Bureau of Land Management, was expected to be a 1,000-megawatt wind farm with up to 231 wind turbines across nearly 57,447 acres in southern Idaho.Following a review of the project by the Trump administration, officials at the Interior Department claimed to find "crucial legal deficiencies" with Biden's approval of the project, including certain statutorily binding criteria that were ignored, according to a press release announcing the decision to terminate the wind farm project.GARGANTUAN BIRD CEMETERIES IN BURGUMS CROSSHAIRS AS DOI LOOKS TO CURB GREEN WIND PROJECTS"Under President Donald Trump's bold leadership, the Department is putting the brakes on deficient, unreliable energy and putting the American people first,"said Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum. "By reversing the Biden administration's thoughtless approval of the Lava Ridge Wind Project, we are protecting tens of thousands of acres from harmful wind policy while shielding the interests of rural Idaho communities. This decisive action defends the American taxpayer, safeguards our land, and averts what would have been one of the largest, most irresponsible wind projects in the nation."The Interior Department's action follows a Day One executive order signed by Trump that moved to place a temporary moratorium on the controversial wind project. The order was followed up by another executive directive from Idaho GOP Gov. Brad Little, which directed state agencies to comply with Trump's order to halt the Lava Ridge project and other wind energy leasing in all areas within the Offshore Continental Shelf.In Trump's executive order, the president also requested a new review be conducted by the Interior Department, citing the fact that the Biden administration may have skirted certain legal obligations associated with approving the Lava Ridge project.TRUMP ADMIN REBUFFS SCHIFF, REOPENING MASSIVE PACIFIC OIL RESERVE CAPABLE OF 80% OF REGIONAL PRODUCTIONIdaho Attorney General Raul Labrador previously accused the Biden administration of not adequately reviewing the wind farm's potential risk to low-flying aircraft. According to Labrador, Federal Aviation Administration rules dictate that any structure over 200-feet tall must be evaluated for low-level flight hazards.Labrador has also asserted that the Lava Ridge project would have mainly shipped generated power to California, as opposed to Idaho. Meanwhile, Idaho GOP Congressman Mike Simpson accused the Biden approval process in a June op-ed of failing to "genuinely engage with stakeholders to address concerns about the Minidoka National Historic Site, grazing, wildfire response, and more.""For four years, the Biden administration demonstrated that it would rather prioritize renewable wind power over multiple-use mandates directed by Congress," Simpson added.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPIn a press release put out Wednesday, the Interior Department said it was "restoring common sense to American energy policy by reversing the Biden administrations misguided, last-minute push to approve the Lava Ridge Wind Project.""Under President Donald J. Trump, the Department of the Interior will no longer provide preferential treatment towards unreliable, intermittent power sources that harm rural communities, livelihoods and the land," the press release concluded. "The Department of the Interior will continue its review of wind energy leasing and permitting practices, with a focus on assessing the impact these developments have on our nations natural resources and communities."0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 4 Visualizações 0 Anterior

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMGREGG JARRETT: Who could be indicted by a grand jury in the Russia collusion hoax?Behind every sordid conspiracy, theres a story waiting to be told. But sometimes the truth is hidden so deep that it takes years to fully unravel.Its been nearly a decade since President Donald Trump became the victim of the greatest mass delusion in American political history.Those who abused the levers of government power and schemed to frame him are now suffering an acute case of the legal jitters.Those behind the infamous Russia Hoax have reason to be nervous. On Monday, the news broke that the Department of Justice is convening a grand jury to assess a growing body of incriminating evidence.Indictments may follow. JONATHAN TURLEY: DEMOCRATS PULLED THE GREATEST POLITICAL CON JOB EVER ON AMERICANS. IT'S FINALLY UNRAVELINGThere was never a Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy. But there was an elaborate conspiracy to falsely accuse him of collusion. It becomes criminal if it can be shown that people lied under oath, deceived government agencies, manufactured false documents, or if federal officials themselves violated rights and laws with the intent to persecute and/or prosecute an innocent person. The Most Obvious TargetsIn 2016, John Brennan, James Comey, and James Clapper were directors of the CIA, FBI, and ODNI, respectively, in the Obama administration.They played pivotal roles in the corrupt investigation of Trump dubbed "Crossfire Hurricane."There was no credible evidence to justify the dilating and damaging probe. Just the opposite.They knew at the outset that the collusion narrative was a dirty political trick conjured up by Hillary Clinton and her campaign to smear her political opponent and to distract from her own email scandal in which she had clearly committed crimes. Evidence shows that the CIA chief rushed to the White House to alert then-President Obama. In two successive meetings on July 28 and August 3, 2016, Brennan briefed Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Comey and Clapper. Brennans handwritten notes recounted Clintons plot "to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security service." Instead of telling the truth to the American people and Congress, Obama and his confederates concealed Hillarys scheme.Armed with the bogus dossier secretly funded by Clintons campaign, they exploited it as a pretext to implicate Trump as a Russian asset, knowing full well that he was not.Despite planned leaks to the media, Trump won.There was no election interference by the Russians and certainly no collusion. But that did not stop Obama, Biden and his national security team from peddling the canard to destroy Trump once he took office.To do so, they had to recast the evidence.A December 7, 2016, intelligence report stated, "We assess that foreign adversaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the U.S. Presidential outcome this year." The report added, "We have no evidence of cyber manipulation of election infrastructure intended to alter results." But that conclusion did not conform to the spurious collusion narrative.So, two days later Obama ordered a new Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that peddled the lie that "Putin and the Russian Government developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump" and "aspired to help" his election chances. That document appears to have been cleverly rigged by Brennan, Comey and Clapper. In their testimony before Congress, they insisted that the dossier played no role in the assessment, offering up a sanitized version that deliberately deleted any reference to it.The newly declassified documents expose the erasure and prove that the dossier was, indeed, referenced in the body of the ICA and misused to reach the contrived conclusion that Russia helped Trump win.Separately, a compelling case can be made that Comey deceived FISA court judges in obtaining three surveillance warrants to spy on Trump campaign associate, Carter Page.Comey vouched for the credibility of the debunked dossier and attested to the reliability of its author, Christopher Steele, without disclosing that hed been fired as an FBI source for lying. Lying under oath in any federal proceeding constitutes perjury (18 USC 1621).Knowingly making a false or fraudulent statement not under oath is also a crime (18 USC 1001). Both carry punishments of up to five years in prison.Conspiracy to commit perjury or to provide false statements, as well as conspiring to intentionally submitting fraudulent or deceptive documents, would constitute additional crimes (18 USC 371) with the same penalties.In a conspiracy the statute of limitations begins when the last overt act is committed or when purposely concealed evidence is discovered which is fairly recent. Clinton and her CampaignIn any conspiracy case before the grand jury, the conduct of Hillary Clinton would have to be examined closely.After all, the genesis of the collusion hoax occurred when, according to documents, she approved the scheme on July 26, 2016.She was instrumental in propagating it. But Clinton did not act alone.Those running her campaign can expect to receive grand jury subpoenas to cough up documents and offer testimony.Those would include campaign manager Robby Mook, chairman John Podesta, communications director Jennifer Palmieri, general counsel Marc Elias, and policy advisers Jake Sullivan and Julianne Smith. According to the newly declassified report from special counsel John Durham, it was Smith who proposed the fictitious collusion scheme to Hillary.The adviser told his investigators that she "did not specifically remember proposing a plan to Clinton" but "it was possible." (Page 14, Durham Annex)Also implicated in the Durham report is Leonard Bernardo, a top official at George Soross Open Society Foundations. Although he denies writing any of the incriminating emails confirming Clintons approval of the plot to demonize Trump, you can add his name to the list of witnesses.There is significant evidence that some, if not all, of Hillarys senior campaign team helped formulate and spread the Russia Hoax.They posited that Trump conspired with Vladimir Putin in the bowels of the Kremlin to steal the election. With every new leak, the Trump-hating media became witting accessories. With an eye toward criminal charges, prosecutors should consider conspiracy to defraud the government (18 USC 371), which includes interfering with lawful government functions such as an election through false statements, fraudulent documents, and deceit. Deprivation of rights under color of law (18 USC 242) is another underlying crime that could attach to potential conspiracy charges. The federal statute targets abuse of power by government officials and others who act to willfully deprive a person such as Trump of his constitutional rights. Fifth Amendment and Obama ImmunityWe can expect that some witnesses will invoke their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination to remain silent.Some may regard the grand jury proceedings as a perjury trap, while others have much to hide.But that doesnt mean that prosecutors cannot bring a viable case.There are people in the intelligence community who witnessed a myriad of corrupt acts and will be more than willing to testify about them particularly those who warned that sham evidence was being manipulated to frame Trump.Others who were more directly involved may seek immunity in exchange for their valuable testimony. There is only one person who already enjoys immunity and thats former President Barack Obama.Thanks to the case brought by his successor, Donald Trump, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled last year that presidents have broad immunity for their official acts, although they are not immune for actions taken outside their official capacity. As noted above, Obama was deeply embedded in the hoax.The newly revealed records show that he pressured Comey to clear Hillary of her email crimes, joined the plot to push the phony collusion narrative that Clinton instigated, and helped engineer the counterfeit case against Trump by massaging intelligence. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONObama would surely assert that everything he did is protected as official acts.That, of course, is a debatable defense and would have to be sorted out by federal courts.But its doubtful that prosecutors would want to venture anywhere near that treacherous legal quagmire. In the meantime, there may be a run on criminal defense attorneys in Washington as those in legal jeopardy clamor to "lawyer-up." But that assumes that a grand jury would be seated in the nations capital.Maybe not. If prosecutors are crafting an overarching criminal conspiracy case that extends beyond Trumps first term to encompass the efforts by Bidens DOJ to unduly influence the 2024 election by machinating specious criminal cases against his opponent in both Washington and Florida, the latter venue could be where the grand jury convenes. That would be logical inasmuch as DC is an utterly insane place to pursue politically charged prosecutions.Trump received a scant 6.6% of the vote there in 2024.Given the makeup of the jury pool, not to mention past experiences, gaining convictions against his perceived adversaries would be next to impossible. Regardless of the jurisdiction, our constitutional due process guarantees that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Even the guilty.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 4 Visualizações 0 Anterior

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMWitkoff meets with Putin over war in Ukraine, no ceasefire agreements announcedWhite House envoy Steve Witkoff landed in Russia on Wednesday for his fifth visit with Russian President Vladimir Putin as President Donald Trump looks to force a peace deal and bring an end to the three-and-a-half-year war in Ukraine.Little seems to have been accomplished from the three-hour meeting in the way of securing a peace deal, or even circumventing the threatened sanctions by Trump that Putin now stares down, though according to Russian foreign policy advisor Yuri Ushakov, the meeting was described as "useful and constructive."Ushakov said Putin "received some signals from Trump" and "sent some signals," but he did not elaborate on any specifics.WITKOFF SCRAMBLES FOR PEACE DEAL WITH RUSSIA AS SANCTIONS LOOM TARGETING INDIA, CHINAThe advisor also told reporters thatPutinandWitkoffhad discussed developing the "strategic partnership" between the U.S. and Russia but did not elaborate how. The comment came after Witkoff was spotted earlier in the day taking a walknear the Kremlin withKirill Dmitriev, the Russian presidents envoy for investment and economic cooperation.Witkoff and Putin met shortly before noon in Moscow, according to the timestamp released by the Kremlin which accompanied an image of Putin and Witkoff smiling and shaking hands as Russian foreign policy advisor Yuri Ushakov looked on.Witkoffs team did not respond to Fox News Digitals questions on what the envoy was hoping to accomplish in his meeting with Putin, though some reporting this week suggested he may look to secure a moratorium on air strikes.Witkoff traveled to Moscow in a last-ditch effort to get Putin to capitulate to Trumps and Western calls for an end to the war, though the Kremlin chief was not expected to make great concessions in ending his war ambitions ahead of the trip.In mid-July, while seated next to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Trump promised to enforce "very severe" tariffs on Russia if Putin does not enter into a deal with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy within 50 days."Tariffs at about 100%, you'd call them secondary tariffs," he had said, implying that nations who trade with Russia will see 100% tariffs slapped on them when trading with the U.S.He then pushed the date up to within 10 days of July 29, forcing the new deadline for Friday.But on Tuesday Trump walked back his 100% tariff threat amid tough trade talks with India and China, and said, "Ineversaidapercentage.""We'llseewhathappensoverthenextfairlyshortperiodoftime," he added in response to questions from reporters. "We haveameeting with Russia tomorrow. We're going toseewhathappens."We'llmakethatdeterminationatthattime," he added.The tariffs would most drastically target China and India, which are the largest purchasers of Russian oil, though high tariffs on those nations, both of which are major traders with the U.S., would also mean higher prices for the American consumer.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 4 Visualizações 0 Anterior
