A retractable roof and a string of good luck during some unfortunate weather at American Family Field led the Milwaukee Brewers to complete a three-game sweep of the New York Mets, keeping their momentum intact no matter the conditions outside.Had the stadium been open-air, there would likely have been a couple of rainouts. Saturday's downpour became so intense at times that water seeped through the roof, creating a slick spot around second base.The city of Milwaukee has been inundated with historic flooding throughout this weekend, and members of the SportsNet New York (SNY) crew were among those trapped in cars.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMAreas outside the ballpark were filled with flooded roads and submerged cars due to the torrential rain, leaving Milwaukee and surrounding areas in distress.As many as 12 inches (30 centimeters) of rain had fallen in some areas by Sunday, according to the National Weather Service, which also noted river flooding in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties.During Sunday's game, Mets broadcaster Steve Gelbs and the SNY employees were among those affected. According to Mets broadcaster Gelbs, the SNY team was forced to abandon their car just a quarter-mile from their hotel and swim to safety."So they drove back last night from Green Bay, got caught a quarter-mile from their hotel, had to abandon their car and swim to the hotel," Gelbs said.YANKEES BROADCASTERS CRACK 'SEINFELD' JOKES AS TEAM FACES ASTROS PITCHER NAMED JASON ALEXANDERNearly 47,000 customers of We Energies lost power in southeast Wisconsin.

"Real Time" host Bill Maher tore into AI technology on his show Friday, lampooning chatbots for being overly conciliatory to their human users in a searing commentary for his "New Rules" segment."People don't read anymore, they ask their Chatbot the question and sometimes it's right and sometimes it isn't. But what it always is, is a f--king a-- kisser. You literally can not ask it a question so stupid it won't respond 'great question.' 'Can I drink milk if it's lumpy? Great question!'" Maher opined.The comedian went on to blame Americas "extremely needy" population for demanding they be "emotionally j--ked off" by their consumer products. Maher, who has long lambasted woke culture, throwing stones at the anti-fat-shaming movement, lack of free speech on American college campuses, and trigger warnings, went on to say that technology needlessly praising their owners for performing mundane tasks had become endemic in American society.TEENS INCREASINGLY TURNING TO AI FOR FRIENDSHIP AS NATIONAL LONELINESS CRISIS DEEPENS"Your Apple watch fitness app tells you you smashed it today The self checkout screen says wow, you're a super saver On Waze, it leads you directly to your destination, and when you get there, it congratulates you.

After the meeting, Maher claimed that Trump was "much more self-aware than he let on in public.""You can hate me for it, but I'm not a liar. Trump was gracious and measured, and why isn't that in other settings- I don't know, and I can't answer, and it's not my place to answer.

He claimed that relationships were being ruined by AI and cited a Joy AI survey that found that 80% of Gen Z respondents said they would be open to marrying an AI. Maher highlighted Elon Musk's chatbot Annie for taking 'a-- kissing to a whole new level.""No wonder we see so many articles written about how relationships are being ruined because one partner or the other falls in love with their AI companion. Because why listen to some other human who nags you and has needs and thoughts different than yours when everything else in your life is set on worship?...They've created the perfect hooker for a generation that's too afraid to talk to a real one," Maher said.

Hollywoods "progressive snowflake era" is over, with studios turning away from DEI and socially conscious programming, a New York Times column argued on Saturday."Hollywood is rapidly shifting away from the socially conscious framework that for more than a decade has driven its narratives, casting and green lights," editor-in-chief for The Wrap, Sharon Waxman, wrote in a guest essay for The New York Times.Waxman pointed to the recent sale of an "anti-woke" reboot of the 1992 Paul Veerhoven film "Basic Instinct" as an example of how Hollywood is pivoting away not just from diversity, equality and inclusion in its business practices, but from a social justice-oriented outlook at the box office as well.She cited the Netflix show "The Hunting Wives" as evidence that Hollywood is no longer woke proclaiming that everyone on the series is "hot, horny and white."BACKLASH AGAINST SYDNEY SWEENEY JEANS/GENES AD GETS MOCKED BY WH: AMERICANS ARE 'TIRED OF THIS BULLS---Sydney Sweeneys American Eagle ad is further evidence of Hollywoods anti-woke shift, Waxman claimed. Upon the launch of the advertisement, both Sweeney and American Eagle received backlash, with critics claiming the ad was hinting at eugenics.However, according to Waxman, it failed to penetrate the Hollywood power centers in Burbank or Beverly Hills, and Sweeney was left unscathed from the controversy."Its had no echo in Burbank or Beverly Hills, where not so long ago, Ms. Sweeney might have had to apologize for her insensitivity and make a donation to the A.C.L.U," she wrote.Waxman claimed that after a string of controversies that beset Hollywood including the #OscarsSoWhite campaign and criticism of a lack of diversity among creators the industry set out to course-correct by emphasizing diversity in its hiring practices and storytelling.Yet, the efforts to hire additional non-White directors, screenwriters and showrunners left many creatives in Hollywood feeling like theyd been pushed aside.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"The new rules resulted in a strict if unspoken set of boundaries that tacitly put certain topics and categories outside the accepted circles of casting and green lights. It isnt only that conservative groups gripe that "their" stories dont get produced," Waxman said. "But I also cant count the number of times Ive heard quiet frustration from a reasonably accomplished white male screenwriter who felt cast out by the top talent agencies. In the process of "recentering" Hollywood, some people suddenly felt shunted to the side."Waxman said Hollywood's shift had been a long time coming, predating President Donald Trumps return to office. However, with the president's return to the White House, the trend has accelerated. His administrations fight against DEI has contributed to Hollywood studios abandoning the controversial policies."At the talent agencies where Hollywoods hustlers are out selling scripts and projects, no longer are queer writers of color, for example, so much in demand. No longer are preferred pronouns expected on your email signature," Waxman said.

A group of former FBI, intelligence, diplomatic and national security officials released a letter blasting FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino for firing several bureau agents, saying they were targeted for not being loyal to President Trump.The group, which dubs itself The Steady State, claims Agents Brian Driscoll, Michael Feinberg and Walter Giardina were fired as part of a campaign to dismantle the FBIs "long-standing independence" while also setting it up as a "tool of political loyalty."The Steady State also claimed the agents were canned because they were not loyal to President Donald Trump, before accusing the administration of appointing Patel and Bongino to powerful roles despite not having resumes that meet the "basic standards" to lead the "worlds premiere law enforcement agency.""It is not about reform. It is about control. The aim, it seems, is to transform the FBI from a respected, constitutionally grounded investigative service into a personal enforcement arm of a political figure," the letter reads. "We have seen these dynamics abroadleaders who demand loyalty from security services not to the law, but to themselves. These regimes do not end well."FBI OUSTS FORMER ACTING DIRECTOR, AGENT INVOLVED IN J6 PROSECUTIONS, WITH MORE EXPECTED"The FBI has long been a bulwark against such corruption: an institution where rule of law and civil liberties are held in balance with the demands of national security," the letter continued. "Its independence is not a bureaucratic feature; it is a democratic necessity."The Steady State told their friends and colleagues in the FBI that they recognize the pressure they are under."The nation is watching, and will be inspired by the FBI. And history will remember," the letter concluded.Last Thursday, the FBI ousted Driscoll, the former FBI acting director, as well as others, including Giardina, a special agent at the FBI who played a role in the investigation of Trump trade advisor Peter Navarro.

You have exercised poor judgment and a lack of impartiality in carrying out duties, leading to the political weaponization of the government."FBIS TOP BOSS KASH PATEL SAYS BUREAU RAN COVER FOR HILLARY BUT IT ALL ENDS UNDER TRUMPFormer FBI Agent Phil Kennedy, who has been vocal on social media regarding the new regimes handling of personnel matters, shared The Steady States letter, referring to the firings as the recent FBI "purge.""Walter Giardina, the disgraced anti-Trump Agent who worked on Jack Smiths documents case with Kashs pilot, has reportedly been terminated by the FBI," Kennedy wrote in another post. "Its a Bureau bloodbath."Newsof the agents firings comes months after thousands of FBI personnel in February were ordered to fill out a questionnaire asking detailed questions about possible roles in the investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riots.The questionnaire,first reportedby Fox News Digital, sparked concern that it could be used to retaliate against agents involved in the January 6 investigations. Those concerns reached a fever pitch later that month, after then-Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove ordered the bureau to compile a list of all current and former personnel who worked on January 6 cases.The Trump administration has not yet said whether it will move to act against the individuals involved.In February, PresidentTrumpdeclined to answer questions over whether his administration would remove FBI employees involved in the investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot, telling reporters only that he believes the bureau is "corrupt" and that then-FBI director nominee, Patel, would "straighten it out."Fox News Digitals Breanne Deppisch contributed to this report.
