WWW.FOXNEWS.COMLos Angeles business owner blasts 'Baby Shark' on repeat to ward off homeless encampmentsA Los Angeles business owner has found a novel way to keep homeless people from camping near his building: playing a children's song on an annoying loop."They played 'Baby Shark' all night long," Tracy, a woman who lives in an encampment next door to the building at the corner of West 11th and Main streets, told NBC4 Los Angeles. "Theyre doing everything they can to make us move or drive us crazy. But it's doing the latter. It's driving people crazy."The building owners began playing the song through a loudspeaker pointed directly at the encampment, which Tracy told the outlet had "kept her and others up all night."NEWSOM UNVEILS AGGRESSIVE PLAN TO CLEAR HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS ACROSS CALIFORNIA: 'NO MORE EXCUSES'"This is ridiculous. We can't get any sleep. We can't get housing. We can't eat," she said. "And now they're trying to drive us crazy with childrens music."Shalom Styles, who owns the barbershop Styles Barber Lounge, around the corner from the business playing "Baby Shark" told the outlet that they aren't trying to be mean or insensitive to the homeless, but have businesses to run and are "just trying to survive."CA MAYOR DECLARES, 'HOMELESSNESS CANT BE A CHOICE,' SUGGESTS ARRESTING THOSE WHO REPEATEDLY REFUSE SHELTER"It's not always about being kind, because when people are taking away from business, and all the stores are going out of business," Styles said. "Were still here surviving, trying to put up for our family."California Gov. Gavin Newsom released details last week about his multi-billion-dollar plan to tackle the homeless crisis in the Golden State and is pushing cities and counties to take "immediate action."On Monday, Newsom shared a model ordinance for cities and counties to "immediately address dangerous and unhealthy encampments and connect people experiencing homelessness with shelter and services.""Theres nothing compassionate about letting people die on the streets," Newsom said in a news release.The ordinance is backed in part by $3.3 billion in new Prop 1 funding, Newsom's office announced, adding that the governor is "calling on all local governments to act without delay."Newsom is also encouraging local leaders to use their authority, affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court, to address homeless encampments."The Governor is calling on every local government to adopt and implement local policies without delay," Newsom's office said.WHY BLUE STATE POLICIES ARE CAUSING EVEN MORE HOMELESSNESS IN AMERICANewsom's office told Fox News Digital that the governor has "actively held communities accountable who do not follow state law to address homelessness", sharing an example of when the state sued the City of Norwalk in 2024 for "its unlawful ban on homeless shelters."The governor's office added that, while national homelessness went up by nearly 7% last year, Californias increase was only 0.45% and was lower than those of 44 other states.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"Governor Newsom is the first governor to actively address this issue in our state, and he is reversing a crisis that was decades in the making," Newsom's office said.0 Comments 0 Shares 30 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMTrump's 'big, beautiful bill' passes key House hurdle after GOP rebel mutinyPresident Donald Trumps "one big, beautiful bill" survived a key hurdle in the House of Representatives on Sunday night, putting it one step closer to a chamber-wide vote later this week.Lawmakers on the House Budget Committee were summoned back to Washington for a 10 p.m. meeting to vote on advancing the legislation, which passed the panel in a nearly party-line vote.Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., made a surprise appearance at the committee room shortly before the vote began, telling reporters, "We think this is going to go well tonight. We're about to find out."He said there would likely be "minor modifications" to the final bill.ANTI-ABORTION PROVIDER MEASURE IN TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' COULD SPARK HOUSE GOP REBELLIONIt comes after a rebellion by four conservative House Freedom Caucus members on the committee blocked the bill from advancing on Friday, with the fiscal hawks seeking assurances that stricter crackdowns on Medicaid and green energy subsidies in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) would be in the final bill before a House-wide vote.Advancing the legislation through the House Budget Committee is a largely procedural move. Any likely changes will be introduced as amendments in the House Rules Committee, the final gatekeeper before a House-wide vote, sometime early this week.Notably, two of the Budget Committee fiscal hawks who demanded further changes Reps. Chip Roy, R-Texas, and Ralph Norman, R-S.C. also sit on the House Rules Committee.Nevertheless Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., signaled confidence on Fox News Sunday that his chamber was "on track" to hold that House-wide vote toward the end of this week.The House Budget Committee passed a framework earlier this year with "instructions" for various other committees to enact Trump policies under their jurisdictions.Following House and Senate-wide votes on their frameworks, House committees began crafting those policies, which have now been put back together into the massive bill the House Budget Committee advanced on Sunday night.BROWN UNIVERSITY IN GOP CROSSHAIRS AFTER STUDENT'S DOGE-LIKE EMAIL KICKS OFF FRENZYRepublicans are working to pass Trumps agenda via the budget reconciliation process, which allows the party controlling both Congress and the White House to pass vast pieces of legislation while completely sidelining the minority in this case, Democrats.It does so by lowering the Senates threshold for passage from 60 votes to 51, lining up with the Houses own simple majority. The legislation must adhere to a specific set of rules, however, including only items related to federal spending, tax, and the national debt.Trump is having Republicans use the legislation to enact his campaign promises on tax cuts, immigration, energy, defense, and raising the debt limit.And while quelling Fridays GOP mutiny is a victory for House Republican leaders, lawmakers will still have to sit through high-stakes negotiations on any changes made to the bill before the House Rules Committee considers it.Conservatives are opposed to aspects of the legislations crackdown on Medicaid, which Republicans have said they are only trimming for waste, fraud, and abuse. But Medicaid work requirements for able-bodied people are not set to kick in until 2029, and conservatives have argued that it was a large window of time for those changes to be undone, among other concerns.Theyre also pushing for a more aggressive effort to repeal green energy tax subsidies passed in the former Biden administrations Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).The respective pushes have pitted them against moderates wary of significant Medicaid cuts, and Republican lawmakers whose districts have businesses that have benefited from the tax relief.Meanwhile, moderates in high-cost-of-living areas have also pushed for larger state and local tax (SALT) deduction caps, which red state Republicans have largely dismissed as subsidies to high-tax blue states.The Republicans in those seats, however, have argued that its an existential issue for their districts, where GOP victories were critical to winning and holding the House majority.But even after it passes the House, Republicans there likely wont be done with the "big, beautiful bill" Republican senators have already signaled they are likely going to make changes to the bill.Johnson said Sunday that House and Senate leaders were "in close coordination" on the final product, adding, "we hope that they dont make many modifications to it."Any changes will have to go through the House again; identical bills must pass both chambers before getting signed into law by Trump.Republican leaders have said they hope to get a bill on the presidents desk by Fourth of July.0 Comments 0 Shares 56 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMIran foreign minister vows nuclear enrichment will continue 'with or without a deal'Irans foreign minister said Sunday that regardless of whether a nuclear deal is reached with the U.S., enrichment will continue.Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi addressed negotiations between Iran and the U.S. in a post on X regarding Irans "peaceful nuclear program."In the statement, Araghchi pointed out that U.S. officials privy to the discussions are free to state whatever they want to ward off special interest groups or malign actors that set the agendas of previous administrations."Iran can only control what we Iranians do, and that is to avoid negotiating in publicparticularly given the current dissonance we are seeing between what our U.S. interlocutors say in public and in private, and from one week to the other," Araghchi said. "Our stance on Iran's rights as a [Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty] member is crystal clear, and there is no scenario in which Iranians will permit deviance from that.TRUMP SAYS US HAS GIVEN IRAN PROPOSAL FOR NUCLEAR DEAL"Mastering enrichment technology is a hard-earned and homegrown scientific achievement; an outcome of great sacrifice of both blood and treasure," he continued. "If the U.S. is interested in ensuring that Iran will not have nuclear weapons, a deal is within reach, and we are ready for a serious conversation to achieve a solution that will forever ensure that outcome. Enrichment in Iran, however, will continue with or without a deal."The statement comes just days after President Donald Trump announced on Friday that the U.S. had given Iran a proposal for a nuclear deal.While making the announcement, Trump said Iranian officials know they have to move quickly or "something bad is going to happen."MARCO RUBIO WARNS IRAN 'AT THE THRESHOLD' OF NUCLEAR WEAPON CAPABILITY AS US-IRAN TALKS CONTINUEU.S. and Iranian officials have held four rounds of talks, primarily in Oman, since Trump took office to address Tehrans nuclear program.The International Atomic Energy Agency, often referred to as the United Nations' nuclear watchdog, noted in a March report that Irans stockpile of 60% enriched uranium had alarmingly grown from 182 kg to 275 kg, approximately 401 pounds to 606 pounds, in early 2025."Once you're at 60, you're 90% of the way there. You are, in essence, a threshold nuclear weapons state, which is what Iran basically has become," Rubio said Thursday on "Hannity".IRANS LONG TRAIL OF DECEPTION FUELS SKEPTICISM OVER NEW NUCLEAR DEAL AS TALKS CONTINUE"They are at the threshold of a nuclear weapon. If they decided to do so, they could do so very quickly. If they stockpile enough of that 60% enriched, they could very quickly turn it into 90 and weaponize it. That's the danger we face right now. That's the urgency here," he said.The president also said Thursday in the United Arab Emirates that the U.S. and Iran have "sort of" agreed to terms on a nuclear deal."Iran has sort of agreed to the terms. Theyre not going to make I call it, in a friendly way nuclear dust," Trump told reporters. "Were not going to be making any nuclear dust in Iran."Fox News Digital's Greg Norman, Ashley Carnahan and Christina Shaw contributed to this report.0 Comments 0 Shares 61 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMRory McIlroy evades media at PGA Championship amid golf club controversyRory McIlroy completed his career Grand Slam last month. The reigning Masters champion recently arrived in Charlotte for the second major of the 2025 season, the PGA Championship.McIlroy ended the tournament in a three-way tie for 47th place, finishing the major at 3-over. Sunday, the final day of the tournament, also marked McIlroy's fourth consecutive day of declining to speak with members of the media assembled at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMSpeculation swirled that the Northern Irishman avoided making any public statements to the press in light of the situation with his driver leading up to the tournament. The United States Golf Association (USGA) ruled that McIlroy's driver was non-conforming. The ruling forced McIlroy to make a switch.McIlroy's name was linked to the failed the test and eventually became public knowledge, likely via a leak. USGA policy prevents the organization from disclosing the name of any player who receives a failed test.SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER WINS FIRST CAREER PGA CHAMPIONSHIPMcIlroy was ultimately just one of multiple competitors who was forced to make an equipment change for the PGA Championship.Xander Schauffele, who won last year's PGA Championship, hinted that Scottie Scheffler also had to make a change."I think Scott is winning the tournament, and I think he switched to his backup, too," Schauffele told Golfweek. "See, you don't even know, because he's so good. We can deal with it because the (equipment) reps are so good now."Scheffler and McIlroy are endorsed by TaylorMade. As of Sunday evening, the brand had not released a public statement about the golfer's drivers.Schauffele said that testing every competitor's clubs helps "protect the integrity of the field.""I think they should test everyone's driver," he said. "It's not right to just test 50 guys. It just doesn't make sense if you're in it for the spirit (of the game). The whole point is to protect the integrity of the field. If you don't test everyone across the board, I don't think you're protecting the whole field."Amid the controversy, the PGA of America released a statement."We can confirm that the USGA was invited to do club testing at the PGA Championship, at the PGA of America's request," the statement read in part. "That testing program is consistent with the same level of support that the USGA provides to the PGA Tour and other championships, as part of their regular programs for driver testing. The standard process is for about a third of the field to be randomly tested under the program. That was the case at Quail Hollow this week. Finding driver heads that have crept over the line of conformance is not an unusual occurrence, especially for clubs that are hit thousands of times over a long period of time."Scheffler went on to win the PGA Championship on Sunday to earn the third major victory of his career.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.0 Comments 0 Shares 63 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMCalifornia family sues funeral home after finding wrong body in uncle's casketA California family is suing a funeral home after it put the wrong man in the casket and dressed him in their loved one's clothes, and workers even attempted to say the family was mistaken upon being confronted about the error.Amentha Hunt says she arrived at Harrison-Ross Mortuary in Compton to prepare her uncle, 80-year-old Otis Adkinson, for burial when she noticed another man was inside the casket, according to KCAL."It shouldn't have happened," Hunt told the outlet. "I didn't make arrangements there to see the wrong body."LONG ISLAND SISTERS SUE FUNERAL HOMES ALLEGEDLY RESPONSIBLE FOR BURYING STRANGER INSTEAD OF THEIR LOVED ONE"It was a guy laying there in my uncle's suit, but it wasn't my uncle," she added. "I just kept looking at him. I am like, 'He couldn't have gotten that dark.'"Hunt said she brought the issue to the attention of a mortuary worker, but the worker initially dismissed her concerns and claimed that it was her uncle inside the casket."That's not my uncle," Hunt said. "My uncle wouldn't have gotten that dark ... I showed a picture and she said, 'Yeah, you're right, give us one minute.'"Hunt said she and her family waited three hours while the mortuary fixed the mix-up before they could bury her uncle. It is unclear whose body was in the casket dressed in her uncle's suit."For them to come in and see the wrong corpse, and for the mortuary to deny it's the wrong corpse, we think it's really just a basic standard of care that they messed up on," Hunt's attorney, Elvis Tran, told KCAL. "They really need to improve their ways so they don't do this to another family."The funeral home has denied the allegations and is preparing to file a cease-and-desist letter against Hunt.FAMILY SUES AFTER FUNERAL HOME ALLEGEDLY PUT WRONG BODY IN MOTHER'S CASKETHunt said she is still traumatized by seeing someone else in the suit she chose for her uncle."It's hurting," she said. "To view the wrong corpse, I still can see that guy."Adkinson, a Memphis native, died on Feb. 28. He was described by his family as a "good ole country boy" who enjoyed fishing, barbecuing, dancing and watching the Los Angeles Lakers, according to his obituary.0 Comments 0 Shares 80 Views 0 Reviews
