Prolonged fatigue could indicate poor sleep habits but it could also be a lingering effect of mini-strokes.Thats according to a new study from Aalborg University Hospital in Denmark, which was published this week in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN).A mini-stroke medically known as a transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain that causes a "short period of symptoms," according to Mayo Clinic.STROKE, DEMENTIA AND DEPRESSION SHARE THESE 17 PREVENTABLE RISK FACTORSThe study found that people who experience a TIA are more likely to report prolonged fatigue lasting up to one year."Patients with a presumed transient event reported fatigue at levels comparable to a stroke," lead study author Birgitte Hede Ebbesen, PT, PhD, a physiotherapist at Aalborg University Hospital, told Fox News Digital.The researchers followed 354 people averaging 70 years of age who had experienced a mini-stroke.Over a 12-month period, the participants reported their level of fatigue in five areas: overall tiredness, physical tiredness, reduced activity, reduced motivation and mental fatigue, according to a university press release.HEART DISEASE COULD BE PREVENTED WITH THIS ONE SIMPLE TESTOn a scale ranging from 4 to 20 with 20 being the most fatigued the participants reported an average score of 12.3 in the two weeks after the mini-stroke, 11.9 at three months, 11.4 at six months and 11.1 at the one-year mark.Two weeks after the mini-stroke, 61% reported high levels of fatigue. At three, six and 12 months, 54% said they experienced fatigue.Those who reported prolonged fatigue were twice as likely to have experienced anxiety and/or depression, the study found. Some also reported"We had encountered fatigue among patients with TIA in clinical settings, so we knew it was there but the frequency still surprised us," Modrau told Fox News Digital.FEELING EXTRA TIRED? THIS VIRUS COULD BE THE CULPRIT, STUDY SUGGESTS"Long-term fatigue was common in our group of study participants, and we found that if people experience fatigue within two weeks of leaving the hospital, it is likely they will continue to have fatigue for up to a year."Based on these findings, Modrau suggests that people diagnosed with a transient ischemic attack should be monitored for lingering fatigue in the ensuing weeks and months."This could help us better understand who might struggle with fatigue long-term and require further care."The more commonly known symptoms of stroke include face drooping, arm weakness or slurred speech, which usually resolve within a day, according to Modrau. Some patients also reported long-term cognitive issues.Bradley Serwer, an interventional cardiologist and chief medical officer at VitalSolution, an Ingenovis Health company that offers cardiovascular and anesthesiology services to hospitals nationwide, confirmed that fatigue is very common and sometimes "debilitating" following a stroke."Fatigue is multifactorial and can rarely be attributed to a single cause," Serwer, who was not involved in the study, told Fox News Digital.The Maryland-based cardiologist shared the following potential reasons for fatigue following a mini-stroke.Brain healing: "After a stroke, the brain tries to heal itself," Serwer said. "This process causes the brain to work harder to rewire itself, which results in a higher demand for energy. This often leaves patients feeling drained or fatigued."Increased inflammation:This can occur due to the immune response following a TIA.Lower levels of neurotransmitters in the brain:Reduced levels of chemicals like serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine can result in depression, fatigue or lack of motivation, according to Serwer.Sleep disturbances:"These are very common after a stroke and can lead to significant sleep deprivation," the cardiologist said.Medications: Drugs used to treat strokes may have adverse side effects, including fatigue. "Betablockers are excellent blood pressure medications and are often prescribed after a stroke or heart attack, but they may cause notable fatigue," Serwer noted.Other factors:"Simple tasks may require more mental effort than before the injury," the cardiologist said. "Depression or anxiety after a stroke can also be a confounding predictor of fatigue."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERThe study did have some limitations, the researchers noted."It is an observational study and therefore we cannot determine causality," Modrau said."Results are based on self-reported questionnaires, and we cannot be certain that relatives didnt help fill them out or influence results."The researchers also did not have information on pre-TIA fatigue levels, although previous studies suggested that it was "much more frequent" after mini-strokes.Looking ahead, Modrau said she hopes healthcare providers begin to acknowledge lasting fatigue after TIA and provide care pathways for these patients.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/health"Up until now, patients with lasting challenges after TIA have been left alone in many cases," she told Fox News Digital."We as a society should start to acknowledge their difficulties instead of viewing them as the lucky ones," she continued. "My aim with this study has been to give these patients a voice and to start to listen to their struggles."

Former President Joe Biden announced over the weekend that he had just recently been diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer. A statement from the former presidents office identified the cancer as "aggressive" but also "hormone sensitive," indicating the possibility of "effective management."The news generated an outpouring of sympathy from friends and foes alike. President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social, "Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden's recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery." We share that concern and optimism; we hope the former president beats the disease.But, like much of the public, our initial sympathy has turned skeptical. Doctors say that it is highly unlikely anyone could be "suddenly" diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. Especially one which, according to Bidens statement, had metastasized into his bone.POLITICAL WORLD REACTS TO FORMER PRESIDENT BIDEN'S 'AGGRESSIVE' CANCER DIAGNOSIS: 'INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT'Nearly every man over 50 gets checked regularly for prostate cancer. Certainly, a U.S. president, and especially one under close surveillance for age-related illnesses, would have been examined rigorously for a disease that strikes one in seven men during their lifetime.Dr. Ezekiel Emmanuel, an oncologist and Democrat policy-maker, told Joe Scarborough on MSNBC, that Biden had certainly had the disease for "more than several years." "He did not develop it in the last 100, 200 days. He had it while he was president. He probably had it at the start of his presidency in 2021. I don't think there's any disagreement about that."Pressed by Scarborough on whether Biden would have been tested for prostate cancer, Emmanuel said most White House doctors would likely recommend the test. During their administrations, as he pointed out, Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama both got the test, even though they were younger than Biden.MEDICAL EXPERT 'ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED' BY TIMING OF BIDEN'S PROSTATE CANCER DIAGNOSISDr. Steven Quay, a board-certified anatomic pathologist, noted on X: "Prostate cancer is the easiest cancer to diagnose when it first starts and to watch it progress to bone metastases For even with the most aggressive form, it is a 5-7 year journey without treatment before it becomes metastatic."Some observers have noted that in 2022, then-President Biden gave a peculiar speech about pollution causing oil slicks on his familys car window, saying "Thats why I and so damn many other people I grew up with have cancer and whyfor the longest time Delaware has the highest cancer rate in the nation."BIDEN SPEAKS OUT FOR FIRST TIME SINCE CANCER DIAGNOSISAt the time, this was dismissed by the White House as just another of Bidens famous "gaffes," with his staff denying he had cancer. In retrospect, the president may have been telling the truth, for once.Why would President Biden and his inner circle have withheld his cancer diagnosis from the public? And why come out with it now?When Biden ran for the Oval Office in 2020, at the age of 77, critics questioned his health and his ability to serve in the toughest job on earth for four years. Many cited his evident cognitive challenges; political opponents argued that Bidens handlers kept him largely hidden in his basement during the campaign to hide his mental lapses, using COVID as a pretext.CNN'S AXELROD SUGGESTS DISCUSSIONS AROUND BIDENS MENTAL ACUITY SHOULD BE SET ASIDE AMID CANCER DIAGNOSISIn the Democratic primaries, opponents used his age against him. During one 2019 debate, former HUD Secretary Julian Castro accused Biden of forgetting something he had just said, implying he was too old for the job. Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., also vying for the nomination, expressed concern about Bidens age as well.If Biden had acknowledged at that time that he was ill with a life-threatening disease, he would probably not have won the nomination and he almost certainly would not have beaten Donald Trump in what turned out to be a very close election.After just one year in office, with Biden still ducking interviews and press conferences, doubts had grown about Bidens fitness, with a poll revealing that only 40% of voters agreed that Biden "is in good health," while 50 percent disagreed.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONBiden, Inc. has plenty of reasons to go public with his cancer diagnosis today. Axios recently released audio tapes of the former president being interviewed by Special Counsel Robert Hur, which shows the president struggling with serious memory lapses and unable to answer simple questions. The recordings make Hurs famous description of Biden as an "elderly man with a poor memory" appear generous.In addition, on Tuesday, the much-heralded book "Original Sin" by CNNs Jake Tapper and Axios Alex Thompson, goes on sale. The book exposes the frantic efforts by Bidens inner circle to hide his decline hidden from the public.The books revelations raise anew charges that it was not only the White House that lied to the American people about Bidens decline, but that the Democratic Party and their media allies did as well. Partly because of that coverup, approval ratings for the party are at all-time lows, and trust in the liberal media has collapsed.Democrats are furious with Joe Biden, critical of his decision to stay in the race which, they say, cost them the election. They would prefer he retire to the sidelines, but the former president apparently wants to remain in view, making speeches and also making money. His few recent outings have not gone well, with signature lapses and stumbles reminding the nation of yes -- the Big Lie that he was, to quote one admirer, "sharp as a tack."Democrat ally David Axelrod told CNN that conversations about the coverup of Bidens decline should be "more muted and set aside for now" because of his cancer diagnosis. If that was the motivation behind the announcement -- if revealing the cancer diagnosis was meant to elicit sympathy, and distract from the torrent of bad publicity flowing from ex-staffers and disillusioned Democrats, it looks like a bust.People can be sorry the former president is ill but remain angry that he and his inner circle perpetrated the greatest political scandal of our lifetimes.

Pittsburghs mayoral race has not been competitive on a partisan level since the 1930s, but all eyes are on which way the Steel City goes in Tuesdays primary election as the Democratic Party faces a crossroads.Incumbent Mayor Ed Gainey, seen as the more progressive choice in the race, is facing stiff competition from Allegheny County Controller Corey OConnor, himself the son of a Democratic mayor of Pennsylvanias second-largest city.Gainey, the citys first Black mayor, has at times cast himself on the national stage as a critic of President Donald Trump and his agenda, while also working to attract new business to Pittsburgh including the 2026 NFL Draft. The draft is estimated to bring a $200 million economic boost to the area, according to a source familiar.He previously pledged not to cooperate with federal ICE operations and has also called Trumps budget cuts a "direct attack on working families" and the economy of Western Pennsylvania.GOP WINS FIRST PHILADELPHIA STATE SENATE SEAT IN 28 YEARS, AS RED GAINS IN BLUE AREAS CONTINUE"ICE is not going to end the situation of a failed immigration policy. What its going to do is create more situations where people feel scared, where people dont feel safe," Gainey said in January a sentiment which earned the rebuke of another Pittsburgh politician, U.S. Sen. David McCormick, R-Pa."Gainey needs to follow the law and the lead of some other Democratic mayors working to keep our cities safe," said McCormick, according to WTAE.Gaineys campaign has highlighted the mayors efforts to increase community policing and mental health professionals to assist in police response, while OConnor also claims the mantle of the pro-police candidate.Under Gainey, the city ranks first in state population growth and has increased its affordable housing by 1,600 units.Working with Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Gainey secured $600 million for downtown revitalization and improvements to the city's iconic Point State Park."Thanks to our people-powered movement, our campaign has all of the momentum in this race. Weve proven again and again since 2021 that when we come together across race, across class, religion, age, across every line thats ever been used to divide us we are unstoppable," Gainey said in a statement.On the other side, OConnor has support from some Republican donors, as well as the "old guard" Democratic base, according to The New York Times.PA SEN MCCORMICK THANKS CASEY FAMILY FOR DECADES OF SERVICE AS DEMOCRAT DECLINES TO CONCEDE"This is an election about Pittsburgh, about how we get our city back on the right track. Its laughable to make arguments about progressive/not progressive. The outside groups that are meddling, I guarantee you they havent looked at the records of either one of us," OConnor told the paper.OConnors campaign has also shown support for the resourcing of the police and his own plan to revitalize the downtown area. He has also received large outside contributions from groups like Common Sense Change Action and Democracy Wins, according to the Post-Gazette.On the Republican side, retired Police Det. Tony Moreno who lost to Gainey last cycle is running in the GOP primary against clothier Thomas West.The city has not had a Republican mayor since Mayor Charles Kline and Mayor John Herron in 1933.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPOn the other side of Pennsylvania, the third-largest city Allentown visited multiple times by both Trump and former Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 sweeps due to its "swing" congressional district -- will also be holding a primary Tuesday.Like Pittsburgh, Allentown was historically an industrial center and home to both progressives and "old guard" Democrats.Mayor Matt Tuerk, like Gainey, faces a challenge from a conservative Democrat Councilman Ed Zucal -- in another swing-state test of which wing of the Democratic Party is gaining prevalence. That citys last Republican mayor, Bill Heydt, left office in 2002 and died in April at 86.Fox News Digital reached out to O'Connor via the controller's office and a campaign email, but he could not be immediately reached for comment.

President Donald Trumps tour of the Middle East would receive an A+ with an asterisk from any objective observer.The asterisk is because of his meeting with Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa. The former Al Qaeda member battled and probably killed American troops in Iraq. The 42-year-old did time in Abu Graib prison and has been fighting the now-toppled Assad regime for years.Syria has become, in effect, three statelets on its way to perhaps four or five, but al-Sharaa runs much of Damascus and its suburbs. From that position of strength he can block Iran from resupplying the Hezbollah forces in Lebanon a very good result for Lebanon and the region.TRUMP'S MIDDLE EAST TRIP HANDED ISRAEL A HISTORIC OPPORTUNITY IF IT CHOOSES TO ACT, EXPERTS SAYTrump met with al-Assad at the request of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ("MBS") and Turkeys President Recep Erdogan.According to the U.S. "readout" of the meeting, the U.S. president demanded the Syrian warlord deport Palestinian terrorists, sign the Abraham Accords recognizing Israels right to exist, exile all other foreign terrorists from the portions of Syria he controls, and battle ISIS where it remains in Syria.Thats a good set of "asks" by Trump. If Trumps conditions are met, remove the asterisk. Time will tell and not weeks or even months. If al-Shaara wants to stand up his own statelet, he will invite the U.S. to remove or destroy the chemical weapons depots that still exist in the hidden caches maintained by the Assad regime from the time when Barack Obama caved on his own "red line" in exchange for a half-hearted effort by Russia to remove some of the deadly weapons.If Israel and Syria achieve a cold peace much less a warm one, more kudos to President Trump. The Middle East is being remade and Trump is poised to knock Iran off its remaining claim to power in the region if the mullahs in Tehran dont see reason. The U.S. and Israel can conduct the operations necessary to cripple Ayatollah Khameneis dreams of a nuclear weapon without committing the U.S. to a war, and the president has said Iran has one of two choices at least a dozen times and without any ambiguity, including to me on air."I would much prefer a strong, verified deal where we actually blow them up, but blow them up or just de-nuke them," Trump told me. "But the other alternative, there are only two alternatives there blow them up nicely or blow them up viciously." Thats tough talk, but Trump is a tough negotiator and his record of follow-through on threats made to foreign powers speaks for itself.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONWith every Gulf nation seated at a circular table when Trump sat down with the Gulf Cooperation Council, the president repeated the same, stark choice before Khamenei, added in Irans abandonment of terror and added for good measure the Palestinian leaderships renunciation of "rape, torture and murder," and explicitly demanded the release of the hostages as a "stepping stone" to peace, not part of a deal. Trump, in short, was at his bluntest best.The economic deals he signed are enormous and the potential for "AI" partnerships with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are powering a surge in optimism for "AI"-based equities as the quartet of the U.S.-Israel-the KingdomU.A.E. Is impossible to top when it comes to a joint venture on anything, but especially for breakout "AI" advances. The other deals with American defense firms are great for that sector of our economy, its employees and shareholders in the U.S., and world stability that depends on a strong America with well-trained and equipped allies. Check and check.Trumps always "outside-the-box" when it comes to diplomacy. Thats why the U.S. embassy is in Jerusalem and the Abraham Accords exist. Trump doesnt play by Council on Foreign Relations rules because hes not interested in its seminars and the approval of its senior fellows but in creating seminal moments.

The abrupt resignation Monday of CBS News CEO Wendy McMahon during a tumultuous time for the network has rattled its journalists."She was on our editorial call this morning and gave remarks like she normally does but didnt say anything about this," one CBS News staffer told Fox News Digital.In a memo sent to employees, McMahon said she was stepping down, citing tensions within the company."It has been one of the most meaningful chapters in my career. Leading this extraordinary organization has been the honor of a lifetime because I got to work alongside all of you," McMahon wrote. "At the same time, the past few months have been challenging. Its become clear that the company and I do not agree on the path forward. Its time for me to move on and for this organization to move forward with new leadership."PARAMOUNT FACING MOUNTING PRESSURE FROM CBS STARS, DEM LAWMAKERS AS COMPANY MULLS SETTLING TRUMP LAWSUITMcMahon was likely alluding to the legal battle CBS News and its parent company Paramount Global have been fighting against President Donald Trump, who sued for $20 billion over what he alleges was election interference in the 2024 presidential race. Lawyers for Trump and Paramount have entered mediation, fueling speculation that a settlement is imminent.The CBS insider said McMahon's resignation further indicates a settlement will be made and that her exit did not come as a shock to the rank and file."We all read the gossip articles. We knew this was coming," the staffer said.McMahon's resignation came just weeks after the ousting of "60 Minutes" executive producer Bill Owens, who cited his inability to maintain editorial independence as his reason for leaving the network.TRUMP, CBS PARENT COMPANY SET FOR MEDIATION IN $20 BILLION 60 MINUTES LAWSUITJournalists at CBS News say McMahon "absolutely" had their backs when it came to their journalism."Im sad. Shes done a good job; fought the good fight," one veteran "60 Minutes" producer told Fox News Digital. "As her email to the staff says, Its become clear that the company, and Id not agree on the path forward.' I can only imagine what that path is, but I dont think itll be a good path."The "60 Minutes" producer referred to McMahon as a "steadfast supporter" of the program throughout the drama that has unfolded."She was the main person holding the line for 60," a second "60 Minutes" producer said."This is so unfortunate. It seems that to actively pledge adherence to journalistic integrity and independence means you no longer have a home within CBS News leadership. I dont think [it] bodes well," they told Fox News Digital.As McMahon announced her resignation Monday morning, "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley took not-so-subtle jabs at Trump while speaking at Wake Forest University's commencement address."Why attack universities? Why attack journalism? Because ignorance works for power," Pelley told the graduates Monday. "First, make the truth seekers live in fear, sue the journalists and their companies for nothing. Then, send masked agents to abduct a college student who wrote an editorial in her college paper defending Palestinian rights and send her to a prison in Louisiana charged with nothing! Then move to destroy the law firms that stand up for the rights of others."Many believe Paramount Global is hoping to settle the suit ahead of a planned merger with Skydance Media in order to prevent potential retribution by Trump's FCC, which has the authority to halt the multibillion-dollar transaction. Shari Redstone, Paramount's controlling shareholder, is reportedly in favor of settling with the president.Redstone not only reportedly wanted to "keep tabs" on upcoming "60 Minutes" segments involving Trump, she reportedly urged CBS execs to delay any sensitive reporting on Trump until after the merger deal closed with Skydance. That led to Owens' own exit from the network.FAIR ELECTION FUND URGES FCC TO HOLD CBS ACCOUNTABLE FOR 'UNLAWFUL CONDUCT RELATED TO 60 MINUTES INTERVIEWThe CBS lawsuit stems from the editing of an October exchange Harris had with "60 Minutes" correspondent Bill Whitaker, who asked her why Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasn't "listening" to the Biden administration.Harris was widely mockedfor the "word salad" answer that aired in a preview clip of the interview on "Face the Nation." However, when the same question aired during the primetime special, Harris had a different, more concise response. Critics at the time accused CBS News of editingHarris' "word salad" answerto shield the then-vice president from further backlash leading up to Election Day.Earlier this year, FCC ChairBrendan Carrordered CBS News to hand over the unedited transcript of the interview as part of its investigation into whether the network violated the FCC's "news distortion" policy after a complaint was filed. CBS had refused to release the unedited transcript when the controversy first began.The released raw transcript and footage showed that both sets of Harris' comments came from the same response, but CBS News had aired only the first half of her response in the "Face the Nation" preview clip and aired the second half during the primetime special.CBS News did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's requests for comment.Fox News Digital's Brian Flood contributed to this report.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., wants to put the kibosh on President Donald Trump's plan for the U.S. military to accept a Boeing airplane from Qatar to be used as Air Force One.The Democratic lawmaker has introduced a bill that would prohibit utilizing Defense Department funding to procure, modify, restore, or maintain an aircraft for presidential flight if that aircraft was previously owned by a foreign government, foreign government-controlled entity, or foreign government representative."None of the funds authorized to be appropriated or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2025 or fiscal year 2026 for the Department of Defense may be made available for the procurement, modification, restoration, or maintenance of an aircraft previously owned by a foreign government, an entity controlled by a foreign government, or a representative of a foreign government for the purposes of providing presidential airlift options," the text of the measure reads.ESPIONAGE, CONSTITUTIONAL CONCERNS ABOUND FROM TRUMP DETRACTORS, ALLIES OVER QATARI JET OFFERFox News Digital reached out to the White House to request comment on Tuesday morning but did not immediately receive a response."Donald Trump has shown time and again he will sell out the American people and the Presidency if it means filling his own pockets," Schumer said, according to a press release."Not only would it take billions of taxpayer dollars to even attempt to retrofit and secure this plane, but theres absolutely no amount of modifications that can guarantee it will be secure. It is now on the Senate to prioritize our national security, protect Americans, and ensure that a foreign-owned plane never gets the call sign Air Force One."QATAR DUMPED BILLIONS INTO US SCHOOLS OVER LAST FOUR DECADES: REPORTThe proposal stands little chance of passage: Even if it were to clear both chambers of Congress where Republicans hold the majorities, the president could veto the measure, in which case passage would require enough votes to surmount a presidential veto."The Boeing 747 is being given to the United States Air Force/Department of Defense, NOT TO ME! It is a gift from a Nation, Qatar, that we have successfully defended for many years. It will be used by our Government as a temporary Air Force One, until such time as our new Boeings, which are very late on delivery, arrive," President Trump declared in a Truth Social post last week.QATAR OFFERS TRUMP JUMBO JET TO SERVE AS AIR FORCE ONE"Why should our military, and therefore our taxpayers, be forced to pay hundreds of millions of Dollars when they can get it for FREE from a country that wants to reward us for a job well done. This big savings will be spent, instead, to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Only a FOOL would not accept this gift on behalf of our Country. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Trump added.Trump indicated last week that he does not plan to fly in the plane after leaving office, but that the aircraft would be placed in his presidential library.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian OHara called out the "bizarre" progressive ideology that overtook the city following the death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, in an interview Friday with the New York Post.The outlet spoke with Minneapolis law enforcement and business owners as the city approaches the 5-year anniversary next week of Floyds death, which sparked global protests and riots by the Black Lives Matter movement.OHara, who previously served in the Newark, New Jersey police department, joined the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) as chief in November 2022.Even though he came from a far-left city, O'Hara said he was unprepared for how politicized policing in Minneapolis had become, saying that a "bourgeois liberal mentality" had made it difficult for "reality and facts" to break through.'DEFUND THE POLICE' MECCA OF MINNEAPOLIS OVERRUN WITH VIOLENCE, FAILED LEADERSHIP': FORMER AG CANDIDATE"Here its very, very ideological and a lot of times its like reality and facts cant get through the filter. Its a very detached, bourgeois liberal mentality Its bizarre," he told The Post."There has been an unbelievable amount of trauma here from the destruction of the city that immediately followed (Floyds death) and the explosion of violence that came," O'Hara added.The department faced an exodus of police officers in the aftermath of Floyd's death, reaching its lowest staffing level in four decades, according to a September 2023 analysis by the Minneapolis Star Tribune, as mass anti-police sentiment and calls to defund the police swept the nation.Members of the progressive-leaning Minneapolis City Council criticized the police chief's remarks to The Star Tribune.Council Member Jason Chavez, who was inspired to run for office after Floyds death, called the police chiefs words "not only disrespectful" but "counterproductive and condescending.""These comments directed at our residents fail to meet the moment we are in when peoples rights are under attack from the federal government and our communities are rightfully pushing back," Chavez told the Star Tribune.Council President Elliott Payne also took issue with O'Hara's remarks, telling the outlet, "Some people come into their politics through a more academic process, others through solidarity, others through lived experience," Payne said. "No matter how people develop their core values, one should have a deeper understanding of the diverse perspectives of our community before engaging in conversations with New York tabloids."BLUE STATE'S BAIL LAWS PANNED BY POLICE CHIEF AS VIOLENT SUSPECTS REPEATEDLY CUT LOOSESgt. Garrett Parten, an MPD spokesperson, clarified O'Hara's remarks in a statement to Fox News Digital."As the chief has said previously, policing in the city has become overly politicized, making it difficult to even discuss the need for effective and adequately resourced police without it being viewed through a rigid ideological lens," Parten said. "Thats the disconnect not with residents but with political narratives that overshadow the real and urgent safety concerns residents are living with every day."The city of Minneapolis did not return a request for comment.In January, the Minneapolis City Council unanimously approved an agreement with the Biden administration to overhaul the city's police training and use-of-force policies, building on changes the force has already made since former officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of murdering Floyd after kneeling on his neck for about nine minutes during a May 2020 arrest.

FIRST ON FOX: In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital at the annual Jerusalem Post Conference in New York, Special Envoy for Hostage Response Adam Boehler responded to a Washington Post report that claimed President Donald Trump threatened to abandon Israel unless the war ended as "fake news.""That sounds like fake news to me," he said. "I think the president has maintained a very high degree of support for Israel." He added, "He may be saying, 'Hey, listen, lets try to end the war,' he might speak strongly, but I think American president, in particular, this president's support, President Trumps support for Israel is ironclad."Separately, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee also rejected the claim. In an interview with Israel's Ynet, he said, "Their reporting is nonsense. They need to listen to what the President says - not what some uninformed 'source' pretends to know.'"ISRAELI AMBASSADOR LASHES OUT AT UN OFFICIAL, CONDEMNS UK, FRANCE, CANADA STATEMENT ON AIDBoehler emphasized that the U.S. government's primary focus remains on securing the release of the 58 hostages still held by Hamas. "I think there's obviously continued back and forth. The President made it very clear that he wants something to come to conclusion.""I know that he and Steve [Witkoff] are working very hard right now to try to bring that home. So, a very fluid situation, but our primary focus is number one, the hostages, and number two, Israels security," he said.On the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Boehler addressed the recent development of opening borders to allow aid trucks into Gaza after two months of a blockade. He also discussed the new U.S.-backed mechanism that could potentially replace the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA)."Perhaps there needs to be a replacement for UNRWA. Weve had a lot of issues with the U.N. And if this works, if it gets food to the Palestinian people who need it, then I greatly favor it," Boehler said.Later, in an interview on stage at the Jerusalem Post conference, Boehler recalled the tense moments surrounding the release of American-Israeli soldier Edan Alexander. "Its an unbelievable moment. It was an unbelievable moment on Sunday. The whole time, we couldnt sleep. It was exciting, nerve-wracking. We watched pretty much real-time. We were waiting for Steve Witkoff to come. We were waiting the whole time for the Red Cross. When the helicopter landed, we saw it on TV. That first phone call was unbelievable. It was right on Mothers Day when we went over. It had a lot of meaning for me, Steve, and everybody."ISRAEL TURNS TABLES ON UN OFFICIAL CLAIMING 'GENOCIDE' IN GAZA WITH BASIC QUESTIONSAs for the timeframe for the hostage deal, Boehler expressed cautious optimism: "I think it's getting closer and closer to making a deal here. If Hamas wants to come forward and make a legitimate offer, theyre willing to stand by and release hostages, were always open to that."He also credited the recent Israeli ground operations for increasing pressure on Hamas, saying, "I do think were closer than we ever were. Part of that is because of the movement of Israel and the IDF on the ground."Finally, addressing the recent joint statement from the leaders of the United Kingdom, France and Canada, which condemned Israels military operations in Gaza and called for an immediate ceasefire, Boehler responded firmly. "The United States has always been a fervent supporter of Israel. If I were a European country, I'd be particularly sensitive in how I criticize Israel."

Have you ever imagined what personal flying could look like in the near future? China's Zhiyuan Research Institute, based in Hangzhou, is bringing that vision closer to reality. They just unveiled what they're calling the world's first tri-ducted wearable electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for individual use, and their recent demo flight is already sparking curiosity about the future of personal flight.Join the FREE "CyberGuy Report": Get my expert tech tips, critical security alerts and exclusive deals, plus instant access to myfree "Ultimate Scam Survival Guide" when you sign up!The coolest thing about this eVTOL is its tri-ducted propulsion system. That means it has three powerful propellers, one on the left, one on the right and one in the back, all working together to keep the aircraft stable and efficient. This setup isn't just for show. It actually helps the vehicle fly smoother, cut down on noise and hover more reliably. It's the first time a manned aircraft has used this kind of design, which is pretty groundbreaking.Safety is a huge focus for the Zhiyuan team. They built in a one-click separation system that lets the pilot quickly detach from the aircraft and deploy a low-altitude parachute if something goes wrong. That way, the pilot can land safely even in an emergency, which is a big comfort for anyone flying solo.Flying this thing isn't just for experts. Zhiyuan developed a ground control system that helps keep things simple. The eVTOL can hover steadily and fly on its own without the pilot having to constantly control it, and it can make quick, agile moves when needed. The controls are designed to be easy to use, so even people without much flying experience can handle them.On the power side, the team created a new propulsion system with a high thrust-to-weight ratio. They used advanced ducted motor designs to make the whole thing more efficient. Plus, the flight control system can handle turbulent weather, so the ride stays smooth even when the air gets rough.WHAT HACKERS CAN LEARN ABOUT YOU FROM A DATA BROKER FILEHOW SECURE IS MY PASSWORD?

FIRST ON FOX: Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sent a fiery prerecorded video to be broadcast before the World Health Assembly, which gathers member states of the World Health Organization, on Tuesday outlining why President Donald Trump is withdrawing the U.S. from the WHO."Like many legacy institutions, the WHO has become mired in bureaucratic bloat, entrenched paradigms, conflicts of interest and international power politics," Kennedy said in a video exclusively shared with Fox News Digital."While the United States has provided the lions share of the organizations funding historically, other countries such as China have exerted undue influence over its operations in ways that serve their own interests and not particularly the interests of the global public."Kennedys video, however, did not appear to air during the assemblys gathering Tuesday morning as of 6:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The WHO told Fox Digital Tuesday morning that the livestream feed of videos are ongoing.Video messages from foreign leaders such as French President Emmanuel Macron, UN Secretary-General Antnio Guterres and Peruvian PresidentDina Boluartewere aired during the meeting Tuesday morning, as well as live remarks from Vice Premier of China Liu Guozhong, according to Fox News Digitals review of the assemblys livestream.TRUMP ORDERS US WITHDRAWAL FROM WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONThe World Health Assembly kicked off Monday in Geneva, where the WHO's 194 member states convened its 78th annual meeting. Kennedy's office sent the video to be featured during the assembly's meeting Tuesday morning, alongside other videos of world and health leaders addressing the body.This year, the WHO member states are anticipated to sign a "pandemic agreement" that aims "to safeguard the world from a repeat of the suffering caused by the COVID-19 pandemic," according to the body.Kennedy's video addressed the pandemic specifically, saying the World Health Organization's handling of COVID-19 was riddled with "failures" and exposed that the WHO "capitulated" to China. The WHO is a specialized agency focused on international health that is overseen by the United Nations."The WHO, under pressure from China, suppressed reports at critical junctures of human-to-human transmission and then worked with China to promote the fiction that COVID originated from bats or pangolins rather than from Chinese government-sponsored research at a biolab in Wuhan," Kennedy said."Not only has the WHO capitulated to political pressure from China, it's also failed to maintain an organization characterized by transparency and fair governance. The WHO often acts like it has forgotten that its members must remain accountable to their own citizens and not to transnational or corporate interests," he continued.RFK JR'S HHS TO END ROUTINE COVID VACCINE GUIDANCE FOR CHILDREN, PREGNANT WOMEN: REPORTTrump signed an executive order on his first day in office this year announcing the U.S.' intention to withdraw from the WHO due to its mishandling of the pandemic, as well as a host of other issues the president took issue with, such as "onerous payments" that didn't match contributions from other member states."The United States noticed its withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2020 due to the organizations mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic that arose out of Wuhan, China, and other global health crises, its failure to adopt urgently needed reforms, and its inability to demonstrate independence from the inappropriate political influence of WHO member states. In addition, the WHO continues to demand unfairly onerous payments from the United States, far out of proportion with other countries assessed payments," Trump's EO stated.BEN & JERRY'S CO-FOUNDER ARRESTED PROTESTING SENATE HEARING: 'RFK KILLS PEOPLE WITH HATE'Kennedy continued in his video that "global cooperation on health is still critically important to President Trump and myself" while knocking the WHO for repeated "failures" during the pandemic that the body has since further embraced through its anticipated "pandemic agreement.""It isn't working very well under the WHO. As the failures of the COVID era demonstrate, the WHO has not even come to terms with its failures during COVID, let alone made significant reforms. Instead, it has doubled down with the pandemic agreement, which will lock in all of the dysfunctions of the WHO pandemic response."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"We're not going to participate in that," Kennedy said. "We need to reboot the whole system, as we are doing in the United States. Here in the United States, we're going to continue to focus on infectious disease and pandemic preparedness, but we're also fundamentally shifting the priorities of our health agencies to focus on chronic diseases, which are prevalent in the United States."
