China on Thursday condemned an American military buildup off the coast of Venezuela amid the Trump administration's effort to combat drug cartels, accusing Washington of engaging in foreign interference.Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning was speaking with reporters when she was asked about the naval deployment."China opposes any move that violates the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and a countrys sovereignty and security," Ning said. "We oppose the use or threat of force in international relations and the interference of external forces in Venezuelas internal affairs under any pretext."U.S. WARSHIPS TO PATROL INTERNATIONAL WATERS AROUND VENEZUELA AS TRUMP VOWS TO STOP CARTELS"We hope that the United States will do more things conducive to peace and security in Latin America and the Caribbean region," she added.Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House.At least three Aegis guided-missile destroyers USS Gravely and USS Jason Dunham among them are part of the mission that includes thousands of Marines."On day one of the Trump Administration, the President published an Executive Order designating drug cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, clearly identifying them as a direct threat to the national security of the United States," Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said Tuesday.VENEZUELA HUMAN RIGHTS HIT NEW LOW AS US PUTS $50M BOUNTY ON MADURO'S HEAD: STATE DEPARTMENT"These cartels have engaged in historic violence and terror throughout our Hemisphereand around the globe-- that has destabilized economies and internal security of countries but also flooded the United States with deadly drugs, violent criminals, and vicious gangs," he added.In response to the move by Washington, Venezuelan President Nicols Maduro said he would deploy 4.5 million militia members in response to "outlandish threats" by the U.S.The show of military force comes as the Trump administration continues to demand that Maduro be held accountable for drugs being smuggled into the U.S.The administration has labeled Maduro's regime as a "narco-terror cartel."

Beach Boys member Al Jardine slammed Mike Love's eulogy given at Brian Wilson's Aug. 6 funeral as the feud between the former bandmates seemingly resurfaced."Mike wanted everybody to know that he wrote every single word of Good Vibrations," Jardine told Rolling Stone about Love's speech. "I didnt feel the compassion, lets put it that way. Mikes got some serious megalomania problems."For Jardine's speech, given at an event held after the funeral, he addressed Love's words. "Mike, Ive written some songs with Brian myself. We wrote one called Surfin Down the Swanee River. It just wasnt as big as Good Vibrations,'" he said."I was focusing on Brian, and Mike was more focused on Mike," Jardine told the outlet. "I think that is what it boiled down to."BEACH BOYS FOUNDER BRIAN WILSON DEAD AT 82Fox News Digital reached out to Love for comment.The Beach Boys began with Brian and his two brothers, Carl and Dennis. Eventually, they were joined by their cousin, Love, and their friend from school, Jardine. The band is one of the most commercially successful groups of all time, selling over 100 million records worldwide.Despite the success, rifts between the band members have existed for decades."Mike is like P.T. Barnum," Jardine told Rolling Stone. "He had these incredibly exotic ideas for tours. He was always looking at that next tour. He probably has a tour of Mars planned right now. I was going, Lets go back to the studio. And then he kicked me out of the band. It was pretty s-----."STARS WHO DIED IN 2025At the time, Jardine formed the Beach Boys Family and Friends. The band consisted of him along with his two sons, Wilson's two daughters and Cass Elliot's daughter. He was sued over the use of "Beach Boys.""Frankly, they were threatened by me, because my band sounded better than the Beach Boys band," he explained. "Mike just came down on me with a s---load of lawyers. And pretty soon I was down about a million bucks. It was pretty devastating financially and emotionally. He showed me no mercy."A representative for Love told Rolling Stone that the musician never sued Jardine. The outlet reported the lawsuits were technically between Jardine and Brother Records, which the Beach Boys founded in the '60s.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSThe band got back together in 2012 for a reunion tour, setting their disagreements aside."I enjoyed hearing everybody sing again, even Mike," Jardine recalled. "It still had political overtones, believe me, within the band, but it really proved that we could do it again, and have fun doing it."According to Jardine, the fun was short-lived after Love and Bruce Johnston ended the reunion tour run to play as the Beach Boys on their own."He cut us right off there," the musician claimed. "We were hopefully going to continue on doing some more, but he insisted on going back to his handpicked band, and basically left Brian and I in the dust."Afterward, Wilson recruited Jardine and Blondie Chaplin to form their own trio and performed until the Beach Boys founder's cognitive health began to decline.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERWilson's family announced his death on June 11. "We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away," they wrote on Instagram. "We are at a loss for words right now."They added, "Please respect our privacy at this time as our family is grieving. We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world."In the year leading up to his death, Wilson had been placed under a conservatorship following a dementia diagnosis."Brian Wilson wasnt just the heart of The Beach Boys he was the soul of our sound," Love wrote in part in a tribute to his cousin and bandmate at the time of his death. "From the first time we sang together as kids in my living room, I knew there was something otherworldly in him. His musical gifts were unmatched. The melodies he dreamed up, the emotions he poured into every note Brian changed the course of music forever."Fox News Digital's Tracy Wright contributed to this report.

The Pentagon has created a new medal for service members whove deployed to the southern border to assist federal law enforcement with President Donald Trumps crackdown on illegal immigration.The Pentagon unveiled plans for a Mexican Border Defense Medal for U.S. troops serving with Joint Task Force Southern Border, according to a new memo the Pentagon released Aug.13 that was shared on social media.A U.S. defense official confirmed the authenticity of the memo to Fox News Digital Wednesday.TROOPS AT THE BORDER: HOW THE MILITARYS ROLE IN IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT HAS EXPLODED UNDER TRUMPNow, service members will receive the Mexican Border Defense Medal (MBDM) instead of the Armed Forces Service Medal (AFSM) like they previously earned for supporting Customs and Border Protection at the border, the memo said.The Armed Forces Service Medal, originally created in 1996 by former President Bill Clinton, is awarded to troops who have participated in a military operation with "significant activity," but didnt encounter foreign armed opposition or imminent hostile action, according to a U.S. Army description of the medal.The Pentagon said in July that approximately 8,500 military personnel are assigned to Joint Task Force Southern Border, and have been tasked with responding to security threats there. The task force got underway in March and completed approximately 3,500 patrols between then and July, according to the Pentagon.PENTAGON SETS UP NEW 250 MILE MILITARY BUFFER ZONE AT BORDER WITH CROSSINGS AT RECORD LOWSThose eligible for the award must have deployed since Jan. 20 to support Customs and Border Protection, and served within 100-nautical miles from the international border shared with Mexico in either Texas, New Mexico, Arizona or California.Those whove also served in adjacent waters up to 24 nautical miles away from the border also are eligible."Service members must have been permanently assigned, attached, or detailed to a unit that deployed to participate in a designated DoD military operation supporting CBP within the (area of eligibility) during the (period of award) for 30 consecutive or nonconsecutive days," the memo said.Those who already have received the Armed Forces Service Medal for service at the southern border may appeal to receive the new award but are ineligible to receive both, according to the Pentagon."Service members and Veterans previously awarded the AFSM for DoD support to CBP may apply to their respective Military Service for award of the MBDM in lieu of the AFSM previously awarded to recognize such service; however, no Service member or Veteran may be awarded both the AFSM and the MBDM for the same period of qualifying service," the memo said.NEW VOLUNTARY DEPLOYMENT LETS DOD CIVILIAN WORKERS BACK HOMELAND SECURITY EFFORTS AMID IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWNThe Pentagon, per the direction of the president, has established four national defense areas along the border, bolstering U.S. troops capacity to assist Customs and Border Protection under the task force.The national defense areas operate under military jurisdiction, paving the way for U.S. troops to detain trespassers. Without placing these stretches of land under military jurisdiction, U.S. troops were barred from doing so under existing federal law."Through these enhanced authorities, U.S. Northern Command will ensure those who illegally trespass in the New Mexico National Defense Area are handed over to Customs and Border Protection or our other law enforcement partners," Air Force Gen. Gregory Guillot, commander of U.S. Northern Command, said in an April statement. "Joint Task Force Southern Border will conduct enhanced detection and monitoring, which will include vehicle and foot patrols, rotary wing and fixed surveillance site operations."

A 19-year-old illegal immigrant from Mexico is facing federal charges after prosecutors say he rammed his truck into an agent and government vehicles during an immigration operation in San Diego.The case comes the same week another illegal immigrant, Harjinder Singh, was accused in a Florida crash that killed three people underscoring renewed scrutiny of Biden-era immigration enforcement.According to an ICE statement, the illegal, Rolando Nava Pacheco, is facing up to 20 years in prison and $250,000 in fines for striking a federal agent and government vehicles in an attempt to flee.Homeland Security agents stopped Pacheco during an immigration operation in San Diego for suspected immigration violations on Aug. 11. According to a DOJ statement, after the federal agents identified themselves as law enforcement, Pacheco attempted to flee by accelerating his white truck and striking an agent and a government vehicle.The DOJ statement says the agents "verbally announced themselves as federal agents and requested identification from vehicles driver."FLORIDA OFFICIAL SLAMS CALIFORNIA GOV. GAVIN NEWSOM AFTER DEADLY CRASH INVOLVING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT DRIVER"As the white truck recklessly tried to flee the area, a federal agent driving a government vehicle attempted to block the path of the white truck," the DOJ statement said.As a result, "the driver of the white truck proceeded to strike the federal agents vehicle head on."Pacheco is now facing charges of assault on a federal officer resulting in bodily injury and destruction of federal property.Fox News Digital reached out to Pacheco's attorney for comment.Patrick Divver, San Diego field office director of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations, commented that the operation "demonstrates the commitment of ERO officers to enforcing federal immigration laws and protecting public safety."Despite the challenges encountered, our officers remain dedicated to carrying out their duties with professionalism," he said.TRUMP EXPANDS DEPORTATION DEALS AS MORE COUNTRIES AGREE TO TAKE MIGRANTS"The arrest of this individual for assaulting our officers or agents underscores our unwavering commitment to safeguarding the safety of law enforcement personnel and holding offenders accountable," said Homeland Security Investigations San Diego Special Agent in Charge Shawn Gibson."We will not tolerate violence against law enforcement, and we are resolute in our pursuit of justice," added Gibson.This comes as another illegal, Indian national Singh, is accused of causing a crash in Fort Pierce, Florida, that killed three people.Singh, who crossed into the United States illegally in 2018 via the southern border, obtained a commercial driver's license in California. He attempted to obtain work authorization, but it was rejected by the first Trump administration on Sept. 14, 2020, according to Tricia McLaughlin, Homeland Security assistant secretary for public affairs.TRUMP DEPORTATION POLICIES SPOOK PENNSYLVANIA CITY INTO SCRAPPING IMMIGRANT PROTECTION VOTEThe Department of Transportation said in a statement that Singh failed his English proficiency and road signs tests, "providing correct responses to just 2 of 12 verbal questions and only accurately identifying 1 of 4 highway traffic signs."According to the DOT, Singh was issued a regular full-term commercial drivers license in the state of Washington in July 2023, but illegal immigrants are not allowed to obtain this type of license.A year later, Singh was issued a limited-term/non-domiciled commercial driver's license in California. The DOT is investigating further whether the issuance of that license followed federal regulations.According to a new study by Pew Research, the illegal immigrant population in the United States reached a record 14 million in 2023 under the Biden administration.

The reliably liberal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on the West Coast handed the Department of Homeland Security a win on Wednesday, after a panel of judges ruled to allow DHS to revoke refugee status for illegal immigrants from three key countries.The judges unanimously sided with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who had been sued by a group called the National TPS Alliance, over the July revocation of TPS for Honduran, Nicaraguan and Nepalese migrants.Noems chief spokeswoman remarked that TPS in its name is supposed to be temporary, and made a reference to the "unvetted immigration" aspect of the program."This is yet another huge legal victory for the Trump administration, the rule of law, safety of the American public. Temporary Protected Status was always meant to be just that: temporary,"Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said.VENEZUELAN MIGRANTS, PROGRESSIVE GROUP SUE TRUMP ADMIN AFTER NOEM NIXES BIDEN-ERA PROTECTED STATUS"TPS was never meant to be a de facto asylum system, yet that is how previous administrations have used it for decades while allowing hundreds of thousands of foreigners into the country without proper vetting. This unanimous decision will help restore integrity to our immigration system to keep our homeland and its people safe."Temporary Protected Status, a formal designation within the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1990, prescribes that people from countries facing armed conflict or environmental disasters may be present in the U.S. for a short time.Such migrants can obtain work and travel authorization and are protected from deportation for as long as the federal government decides.Tens of thousands of migrants collectively depended on that particular granting of TPS. DHS has also worked to revoke a separate designation for Venezuelan migrants.FED COURT OF APPEALS GRANTS TRUMP ADMIN PAUSE ON PROTECTIONS FOR 60K IMMIGRANTSOriginally, a lower court in July blunted DHS effort to rescind TPS for Nicaraguan, Nepalese and Honduran migrants for a four-month period, so the court could fully investigate the case.The three-judge panel then intervened Wednesday. There are about 60,000 migrants who fall under this particular TPS group, according to CBS News.On Thursday, the American Civil Liberties Union collected several comments from TPS holders from the affected countries, expressing a mix of outrage and worry over the move."I am heartbroken by the courts decision. Ive lived in the U.S. for years, and my kids are U.S. citizens and have never even been to Nepal," said Sandhya Lama, a Nepalese TPS holder.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"We are not an emergency. We are families, workers, and neighbors who have built our lives here. Despite this setback, we will continue to fight for justice. This decision will not silence us.

I have not been to Honduras since I was a baby," added Jhony Silva, a Honduran native and plaintiff in the case.

After a lengthy courtship, four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers agreed to a one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers in June.On June 7, the Steelers posted a photo of Rodgers signing his contract. The photo was accompanied by the caption "Done deal."Rodgers' move to the Steel City was met with varied reactions from fans and sports figures. Former New York Giants defensive lineman Chris Canty described the idea of Rodgers returning to anything close to his MVP form in Pittsburgh as a "hoax."CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"It's the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it ain't that close," Canty said during a recent edition of ESPN's "First Take" when asked whether the Steelers or the Bengals faced the most question marks entering the 2025 season. "It's because I don't believe in the quarterback. I just don't. They've pinned the regression of Aaron Rodgers on injuries that he's suffered over the last three years. Whether it's injuries or whether it's age, it doesn't really matter. Here's the thing, as players get older, they don't get healthier.""I don't understand why everybody is falling into the hoax that is Aaron Rodgers year over year. We saw it with the New York Jets they were better off without him than they were with him."2025 NFL ODDS: PUBLIC BACKING AARON RODGERS, STEELERS OVER 8.5; TO MAKE PLAYOFFSESPN reported the deal is worth $13.65 million and includes $10 million in guarantees. The contract also features incentives that could raise the total value to a maximum of $19.5 million, according to the report. Canty appeared far from confident that adding Rodgers to the roster would "raise the floor" for the Steelers."You're talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers being bottom 10 in the league in sacks allowed last season. And, oh by the way, they lost a 1,000-yard rusher in Najee Harris in free agency. A guy (who's) gone over 1,200 yards from scrimmage each of the first four years of his career. So when it comes to the Rodgers of it all, I struggle to see how he's going to raise the floor from what we've seen from the Pittsburgh Steelers over the last half decade." This isn't the first time Canty has spoken out about Rodgers and the Steelers. During an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" in June, Rodgers hinted that 2025 could be his final season in the NFL. He also shared his hopes of living a relatively private life once he hung up his cleats.Canty raised concerns about how Rodgers approached the offseason and questioned if the veteran quarterback was fully committed to the Steelers for the upcoming season."It is the definition of self-serving with the timing of Aaron Rodgers doing this," Canty said, according to SteelerNation.com. "Everything we heard him say on The McAfee show, had nothing to do with helping the Pittsburgh Steelers compete for a championship. It all had to do with him saying he wants to come back for the love of the game."The Steelers also confirmed Rodgers would wear No. 8 this season, the same number he wore with the New York Jets. Rodgers' name became synonymous with the No. 12 during his lengthy tenure with the Green Bay Packers. Terry Bradshaw wore No. 12 during his storied career with the Steelers.Rodgers finished last season with 3,897 passing yards and 28 touchdowns against 11 interceptions.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

In New York, a court revealed that a leading citizen had cooked the books by inflating questionable figures without any support in reality. Moreover, his wild overvaluation was widely viewed as motivated by his self-aggrandizement. The final reported figures are so absurdly inflated that they were rejected in their entirety. In the end, he was off by over half a billion dollars.That man is Judge Arthur Engoron.After a New York appellate court unanimously threw out Engoron's absurd half-a-billion-dollar judgment and interest against President Donald Trump, the irony was crushing. It was Engoron who seemed, as he characterized Trump witnesses, as having "simply denied reality." It made his notorious reliance on an assessment of Mar-a-Lago as worth between $18 million and $27.6 million seem like good accounting.NY APPEALS COURT THROWS OUT $500M PENALTY AGAINST TRUMP IN LETITIA JAMES CIVIL CASEIn the end, he could not get a single judge to preserve a single dollar of that fine.For some of us who covered that trial, the most vivid image of Engoron came at the start. He indicated that he did not want cameras in the courtroom, but when the networks showed up, Engoron took off his glasses andseemed to pose for the cameras.It wasa "Sunset Boulevard" moment. We only need Gloria Swanson looking into the camera to speak to "those wonderful people out there in the dark!" and announcing "all right, [Ms. James], I'm ready for my close-up."US APPEALS COURT BLOCKS TRUMP CONTEMPT PROCEEDINGS ORDERED BY BOASBERGThe close-up was not a good idea, and, on appeal, it was perfectly disastrous. The court found little legal or factual basis for his fine. The purported witnesses not only did not lose a dime, but they testified that they made money on the loans and wanted new loans with the Trump administration. That did not move Engoron. From the start, he was speaking to those "wonderful people out there."You did not have to go far. In both the civil and criminal trials of Trump in New York, there was a carnival atmosphere in the street outside the courthouse. It was really not derangement as much as delirium. Democrat New York Attorney General Letitia James had injected lawfare directly into the veins of New Yorkers. Pledging in her campaign to bag Trump (without bothering to name any crime or violation), James was elected based on her recreational rather than legal appeal.Yet, James could not have succeeded if she had not had a judge willing to ignore reality and cook the books on the fines. She needed a partner in lawfare. She needed Engoron.Even for some anti-Trump commentators, the judgment was impossible to defend and some acknowledged that they had never seen any case like this one brought in New York.TURLEY HAILS TRUMPS 'TREMENDOUS VICTORY' AFTER CIVIL FRAUD PENALTY TOSSED, BLASTS 'GROTESQUE' USE OF NY LAWJudge David Friedman gave Engoron a close-up that would have made Swanson wince. He detailed how the underlying law "has never been used in the way it is being used in this case namely, to attack successful, private, commercial transactions, negotiated at arms length between highly sophisticated parties fully capable of monitoring and defending their own interests." CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONHe accused Engoron of participating in an effort clearly directed by James at "ending with the derailment of President Trumps political career and the destruction of his real estate business."Other judges said that Engoron's fine was so off base and engorged that it was an unconstitutional order under the Eighth Amendment, protecting citizens from "cruel and unusual" punishments. So, Engoron not only inflated the figures but shredded the Constitution in his effort to deliver a blow against Trump.Trump can now appeal the residual parts of the Engoron decision imposing limits on the Trump family doing business in New York. Some of those limits could be moot by the time of any final judgment. Ironically, if Engoron had shown a modicum of restraint, he might have secured a victory. During the trial in New York, I said that he would have been smart to impose a dollar fine and limited injunctive relief. That, however, required a modicum of judicial restraint and judgment.Instead, Engoron chose to walk down the stairway into infamy. He was off by half a billion dollars, which could put him in the Bernie Madoff class of judges.In other words, if he wanted to be remembered on that first day, Arthur Engoron succeeded.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM JONATHAN TURLEY

Former Vice President Kamala Harris' announcement she was going on tour to promote her new book was ridiculed on social media Thursday.The book, "107 Days," is about Harris' short, failed 2024 presidential campaign against President Donald Trump."107 Days is my candid and personal account of the shortest presidential campaign in modern history.

Billionaire Terry Pegula, the owner of the NFLs Buffalo Bills and NHLs Buffalo Sabres, isnt in good standing with some New Yorkers after a recent video of his yacht anchored in Newport, Rhode Island, surfaced.Its normal for billionaires to be spotted with these massive vessels, but when New York state taxpayers are partially covering the cost of the Bills new $2.1 billion stadium in Buffalo, theyre taking exception to Pegulas $100 million yacht named "Top Five II."Some members of the "Bills Mafia" were furious and made their opinions known on social media.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"The Pegulas are relaxing in Newport while we pay for the stadium? Thats a slap in the face," one fan wrote in a Reddit thread.Another Reddit user wrote: "Love the Bills, but this stadium deal is robbery. Pegulas pay nothing while we go broke."While some are furious, others are pointing fingers at state legislators instead.THE NEXT BIG TAX THREAT IS COMING FROM YOUR STATE CAPITAL"The city didnt have to approve the deal. They did," one X user said. "And he also put a damn good product on the field before building a new stadium. Im not really standing with the billionaires here, but Im just saying, the city approved it. Not Terry."New York taxpayers are combining for $600 million in this new Highmark Stadium construction, while Erie County taxpayers are adding $250 million to the pile.This is the most taxpayer money that has ever been committed to build an NFL facility.There have been many critics of the deal, especially considering Pegula has a reported net worth of $7 billion. While he is shelling out the lions share of the funds for the stadium, taxpayers feel that many millions could be used elsewhere, whether it be social services, education or another sector.Adding to the frustration is the fact that the construction is $560 million over its original estimate.New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a die-hard Bills fan who is a native of Buffalo, said in January 2024 that it was "hard" to pass through legislation to get taxpayer money to help fund the stadium, but "we got it done."As for the 200-foot superyacht that Pegula owns, it was custom-built and delivered in 2021, and is valued between $75 and $100 million. From designer interiors, including Louis Vuitton and Gucci, the yacht offers a glass-sided spa pool, sauna, gym, cinema lounge and much more.The yacht is reportedly available to charter at around $500,000 per week.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
