WWW.FOXNEWS.COMColorado terror attack took place at 'Run for Their Lives' event calling for release of all hostages in GazaColorado police responded to a terror attack at an event calling for the release of hostages in Gaza in the Denver suburb of Boulder on Sunday, which left multiple people injured.Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn said his department received reports early Sunday afternoon of a man with a weapon and people being set on fire on Pearl Street. A male suspect with minor injuries was taken into police custody at the scene, Redfearn said."Run for Their Lives," which was hosting an event in Boulder on Sunday, organizes run and walk events calling for the immediate release of all hostages being held captive by Hamas in the Gaza Strip.The police chief could not confirm whether the pro-Israel event attendees were targeted as there were people not affiliated with the group out in the area, but he said "this act is unacceptable."SHOOTING AT CAPITAL JEWISH MUSEUM HIGHLIGHTS RISING WAVE OF ANTI-JEWISH HATE CRIMES"The movement started by a group of Israelis in the Bay Area in California, in collaboration with the Hostage and Missing Families Forum (#BringThemHomeNow)," the group's website states. "But, local events are independently led by dedicated and committed leaders within their communities.""You dont need to be Jewish or Israeli to be disturbed by this crisisall people around the world should be," the website says. "Innocent children, women, the elderly, and young people should not be living in tunnels 20 meters underground for over a yearthey should be in their homes with their families. Until this crisis is resolved, the world risks normalizing this unbearable situation. Our focus is not on the "how" (pressure world leaders or military pressure). We are solely focused on the what: doing everything possible to bring them home!"Fox News Digital has reached out to the group.Boulder's Jewish Community said that an incendiary device was thrown at walkers participating in the event."We are saddened and heartbroken to learn that an incendiary device was thrown at walkers at the Run for Their Lives walk on Pearl Street as they were raising awareness for the hostages still held in Gaza," Boulder's Jewish Community said in a statement. "We dont have all the details of what is unfolding, and we promise to keep our community informed."Our hearts go out to those who witnessed this horrible attack, and prayers for a speedy recovery to those who were injured," the statement continued.Witnesses at the scene told CBS Colorado that an unidentified suspect used Molotov cocktails to attack people who were participating in a walk."We are aware of reports of an attack at today's Boulder Run for Their Lives event - a weekly meeting of Jewish community members to run/walk in support of the hostages kidnapped on 10/7," the Anti-Defamation League wrote on X.ANTISEMITIC SHOOTING OF ISRAELI DIPLOMATS ADDS TO ALARMING RISE IN DOMESTIC TERRORISMA motive for the attack has not been determined, the chief said."I cannot confirm right now that this was targeted at a specific group of people," Redfearn said. "We understand that there's a lot of tensions right now and a lot of issues in the United States and everywhere. Once we have a clear motive, we will react accordingly."Redfearn stopped short of calling Sunday's event a terror attack, despite proclamations from FBI Director Kash Patel and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as well as other political leaders.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 146 Visualizações 0 Anterior

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMDiddy accuser sues Harvey Weinstein for sexual assaultCrystal McKinney was named Friday in an amended lawsuit first filed against Harvey Weinstein in February, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital.McKinney, a former model, accused the disgraced movie mogul of sexually assaulting her and a friend at a hotel in New York City in 2003.She previously sued Sean "Diddy" Combs in May 2024, and accused the "Last Night" rapper of sexual assault during a Men's Fashion Week event in 2003.WHITNEY HOUSTON, MIKE MYERS NAME-DROPPED IN DIDDY'S HIGH-PROFILE SEX TRAFFICKING TRIAL"Harvey Weinstein categorically denies the outlandish and fantastical claims made against him by Crystal McKinney in her complaint," Weinstein's lawyer, Imran H. Ansari, told Fox News Digital."Made late in time and suspiciously on the heels of her complaint against Sean Diddy Combs, Mr. Weinstein is ready to refute and defend against the salacious claims, that are believed to have been made with an opportunistic motive."The lawsuit against Weinstein was first filed anonymously on Feb. 28 under the pseudonym A.P. McKinney claimed that a modeling company executive set up a meeting for her to "discuss a potential business opportunity" with Weinstein at the PM lounge one evening, on the pretense that meeting Weinstein would allow McKinney to "make it big," according to the complaint.MODEL SUES DIDDY FOR ALLEGED DRUGGING, SEXUAL ASSAULT AT NEW YORK STUDIOIn her lawsuit, she alleged that the executive told her, "Don't f--- him until he puts you in a movie." She noted that she was "bothered" by the executive's "crass comment," but was interested in the possibility of "working with the biggest producer in Hollywood."McKinney brought her roommate, "Jane Doe," to the meeting with the hope Weinstein would consider her for a movie role as well. She claimed in the lawsuit that during the meeting, Weinstein "repeatedly told them that he wanted to get to know both of them better."He allegedly asked to go somewhere quieter as the lounge was too loud, and the women agreed to "go to his place to discuss potential acting roles."After arriving at Weinstein's hotel room via his chauffeur, McKinney claimed the former Miramax honcho "plied the women with alcohol, ordering them bottles of Boulevardier and Dom Perignon, several gimlets for Plaintiff, and vodka cocktails for Jane," the complaint stated.As McKinney sat on the couch, she alleged Weinstein grabbed her breasts and tore at her tank top. "In Plaintiff's efforts to avoid being groped, drinks were sloshed onto her shirt," according to the complaint. "Plaintiff fled to the bathroom and Jane followed suit."Weinstein then allegedly "barged into the bathroom and continued to leer at Plaintiff's visible breasts through her soaked tank top. Weinstein demanded that the women strip and take a bath with him."McKinney claimed that Weinstein then "exposed himself to the women before entering the tub," and then commanded the women to join him in the tub."Plaintiff and Jane complied with his request, as they felt backed into a corner and feared that he would retaliate against them if they refused his sexual advances," the complaint stated.Weinstein then allegedly "directed the women to engage in same-sex sexual conduct with each other." He then allegedly "grotesquely watched, taking perverse joy from forcing the women to engage in sexual acts with each other."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS"At some point, Weinstein dragged the intoxicated women out of the tub and into the bedroom," the complaint stated. "Weinstein, then, pushed Plaintiff onto the bed, and raped her."After Weinstein "ceased assaulting Plaintiff, he forcibly penetrated Jane as well," the documents alleged. Following the incident, Weinstein left the hotel room. The hotel phone rang, and Weinstein's assistant allegedly told the women to leave the hotel room immediately.In May 2024, McKinney filed a lawsuit against Diddy in a Manhattan federal court. She claimed that the powerhouse producer "plied Plaintiff with alcohol throughout the dinner as he repeatedly refilled her glass with wine." After the meal, Combs allegedly asked McKinney to meet him at his studio on 44th Street, and she felt "reassured that she would be with others at the studio rather alone in a personal residence."Upon arriving, she found Combs with several other men passing around "a bottle of Hennesy and joints."CLICK HERE TO GET THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"One of Combs' associates asked her, Do you smoke weed? to which she responded affirmatively," the documents stated. "Combs' associate replied: Youve never had weed like this before.'"The complaint stated that "Plaintiff later came to understand that Combs had laced the joint with a narcotic or other intoxicating substance." McKinney said she felt "pressured" to imbibe by Combs, who told her that she was "acting too uptight.""Seeing Plaintiff was very intoxicated, Combs demanded Plaintiff follow him and he physically led Plaintiff to the bathroom," the suit stated. "In the bathroom, Combs forced himself on Plaintiff and began kissing her without her consent." He allegedly forced McKinney to "perform oral sex on him."McKinney allegedly "lost consciousness" and awoke in shock to find herself in a taxicab. She noted that modeling opportunities "quickly began to dwindle and then evaporated entirely" following the alleged assault. McKinney believed that Combs "blackballed" her in the industry.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"The assault led Plaintiff into a tailspin of anxiety and depression," the suit claimed. "In or about 2004, Plaintiff attempted suicide and was hospitalized." She claimed to experience alcohol and drug addiction in an attempt to cope "with the emotional trauma of being assaulted."Diddy is currently on trial, and faces 15 years to life in prison if convicted of sex crimes and racketeering. Weinstein received a retrial after his 2020 sexual assault conviction was overturned.In a 4-3 decision, the court found that Weinstein's trial judge allowed prosecutors to call women who said Weinstein had assaulted them to testify, even though their accusations did not specifically relate to the entertainment mogul's charges.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 145 Visualizações 0 Anterior

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMNY Times columnist compares Elon Musk to historys worst murderers over USAID cutsNew York Times columnist David Brooks suggested Elon Musk belongs on a list of historys greatest mass murderers, including Pol Pot, Mao and Stalin due to DOGES cuts to USAID."So far, 55,000 adults have died of AIDS in the four months since Trump was elected; 6,000 children are dead because of what DOGE did. Thats just PEPFAR, the HIV. You add them all up, thats 300,000 dead, and were four months in. You add that all up and accumulate that over four years the number of dead grows very high," Brooks said on PBS News Hour Saturday."There are mass murderers in the world, Pol Pot, Mao Tse Tung, Stalin. We dont have anybody on the list from America," Brooks added.TRUMP 'AGREED' ON SHUTTING DOWN USAID, ELON MUSK SAYSThe New York Times columnist conceded the so-called deaths that he claims Musk is responsible for are not "the same kind of genocide" perpetrated by the despots he cited, but maintained that Musks closure of USAID made him partially responsible for mass deaths.The casualty counts Brooks cited were provided by a Boston University digital tracker that monitors deaths that it claims occur from changes in U.S. foreign aid created by Global Health Professor Brooke Nichols. When filtered for USAID cuts, the tracker states that 99,528 adults and 207,680 children have died this year from "funding discontinuation."The communist regime Khmer Rouge killed between 1.5-3 million people between 1975 and 1979 in the Cambodian Genocide when the group plunged the country into mass violence targeting intellectuals and religious minorities following their overthrow of the Cambodian Monarchy and installation of Pol Pot as dictator in 1975.Thirty-eight million people died of starvation during Maos Great Leap Forward and the ensuing famine it produced. Mao biographers Jung Chang and Jon Halliday estimate that Mao was responsible for over 70 million peacetime deaths.Stalin killed over six million of his own citizens in the gulags, the Great Terror and other actions.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREBrooks is purpotedly one of the few conservative voices at the New York Times. However, the columnist has espoused liberal views on a host of topics and has praised Bidens presidency. He has also positioned himself as a fierce critic of President Donald Trump."Trumpism can be seen as a giant attempt to amputate the highest aspirations of the human spirit and to reduce us to our most primitive, atavistic tendencies," Brooks wrote in a recent column.USAID was set up in the early 1960s to act on behalf of the U.S. to deliver aid across the globe, particularly in impoverished and underdeveloped regions.The agency now operates in 60 nations and employs some 10,000 people, two-thirds of whom work overseas though most of the on-the-ground work is contracted out to third-party organizations funded by USAID,according to a BBC report.The Trump administration, however, has argued that USAID is a corrupt organization that is mishandling U.S. taxpayer dollars. DOGE froze USAID funds and sent much of its staff home shortly after Trump took office. Musk, who was spearheading the DOGE effort to root out "waste, fraud and abuse" in government, has said the agency is beyond repair. The Trump administration announced that it would be cutting 90% of all USAID contracts in April.U2 frontman Bono recently made a similar claim as Brooks on Joe Rogan's podcast, saying 300,000 people have died due to USAID cuts. Musk swiftly shot back on social media, calling the Irish rocker a "liar/idiot" and claiming that there have not been any deaths from USAID cuts."Hes such a liar/idiot Zero people have died!" The Tesla CEO posted.Musk and Brooks did not respond to Fox News Digital's request to comment.Michael Dorgan contributed to this report.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 163 Visualizações 0 Anterior

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMUkraines 'Spiders Web' drone strike burns over 40 Russian warplanes, Moscow calls it 'terrorist attack'Ukrainian forces destroyed dozens of Russian warplanes on Sunday in a coordinated drone strike that penetrated deep into Russian territory, hitting five military airfields and igniting aircraft, including strategic bombers and surveillance planes.The operation, called "Spiders Web," took 18 months to plan and was personally overseen by President Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraines security service (SBU) said.Ukraine used small FPV drones hidden inside wooden cabins mounted on trucks. When the trucks reached their targets, the roofs opened by remote control, and the drones launched.Videos on social media showed drones lifting off from parked trucks and striking large aircraft on the runways.UKRAINE DESTROYS DOZENS OF RUSSIAN WARPLANES WITH DRONE ATTACK DEEP INSIDE RUSSIAIn a statement on X, Zelenskyy called the operation "an absolutely brilliant result" and said it was "achieved solely by Ukraine."He said the mission took "one year, six months, and nine days from the start of planning to effective execution" and described it as "our most long-range operation." He added that "our people involved in preparing the operation were withdrawn from Russian territory in time" and thanked General Vasyl Maliuk, head of the SBU, for the success.Zelensky said some details could not be disclosed yet but declared: "These are Ukrainian actions that will undoubtedly be in history books Ukraine is defending itself, and rightly so."Russias defense ministry confirmed that airfields in five regions were attacked: Murmansk, Irkutsk, Ivanovo, Ryazan and Amur.Russia called the strike a "terrorist act" but said its forces repelled the attack. Still, the ministry admitted several aircraft caught fire. Russian officials said some suspects had been arrested.Ukraine said 117 drones were used.The SBU claimed 34% of Russias strategic bombers were hit and estimated the damage at $7 billion. BBC Monitoring reported that other Ukrainian experts gave a lower estimate of $2 billion. These numbers have not been confirmed.The attack happened just before planned peace talks between Ukraine and Russia were set to begin Monday in Istanbul, which are backed by President Donald Trump, the BBC reported.RUSSIA LAUNCHES LARGEST AERIAL ATTACK OF UKRAINE WAR, KILLING AT LEAST 12Ukraine says it will push for a full ceasefire, the return of captured prisoners, and the return of children taken to Russia. Those terms have not been agreed to by Russia.The White House confirmed to Fox News that the Trump administration was not informed about the attack in advance. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who did not speak to Ukrainian officials immediately after the operation, was ultimately given a full briefing and subsequent updates, according to a senior defense official.The officials said the blitz was highly sophisticated, and that the Pentagon is unsure whether the quadcopter drones, which were prepositioned in Russia in cabins and then offloaded into trucks, were piloted or autonomous.U.S. officials were skeptical of reports that up to 50 Russian bombers were hit, and believed the number was likely between 11 and 15, the official said, who added it may have involved as many as five Russian airfields.Military experts say the raid damaged Russias ability to launch long-range missile attacks. The bombers hit included TU-95 and TU-22M3 aircraft, which have been used in past strikes on Ukraine.Ukraine also claimed it damaged a Russian A-50 radar aircraft, used to direct Russian air power.BBC weapons analyst Chris Partridge said that because the drones were launched from inside Russia, air defenses like the S-300 and S-400 had little time to react.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's additional request for comment.Fox News' Anders Hagstrom contributed to this report.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 167 Visualizações 0 Anterior

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMCalifornia beach Resist! protest pushes kindness while calling to 86 47 in anti-Trump messageNearly 1,000 people gathered at Main Beach in Santa Cruz, California, on Saturday for a Pride Month protest aimed squarely at President Donald Trump.Participants formed a massive human banner that spelled out "Resist!" in rainbow colors as part of a demonstration organized by Indivisible Santa Cruz County.The 220-foot-wide display, with letters reaching 70 feet high, was designed by longtime left-wing activist Brad Newsham.Organizers described the event as a peaceful act of resistance and a show of solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community.SEATTLE MAYOR ACCUSED OF LYING AFTER BLAMING CHRISTIAN RALLY FOR PARK VIOLENCE"Its very important, the more people [who] can show our neighbors, our politicians in the world, that nonviolent resistance is the way to express our dissatisfaction with the way our countrys going," said event organizer Becca Moeller to Lookout Santa Cruz.But just above the colorful banner was a very different kind of message: "86 47," a phrase many interpreted as a call to "get rid of" the 47th President of the United States.In slang, "86" typically means to cancel, eliminate, or even destroy. Combined with "47," the number now associated with President Trumps second term, the phrase has raised alarms among critics who say it crossed a line.Earlier this month, former FBI Chief James Comey posted a similar message in the sand, but instead of kelp, they were shells. He has since removed the post after widespread criticism and action by law enforcement.SEATTLE MAYOR BLAMES CHRISTIAN RALLY FOR INSPIRING VIOLENT 'ANARCHISTS' WHO 'INFILTRATED' COUNTER-PROTEST"We dont need a king. We want to go back to the way we were. We want to make America kind again," said protester Beth Basilius to Lookout Santa Cruz.While the event promoted "kindness" and inclusivity, the imagery told a more conflicted story."They claim they want to make America kind again, but then they spell out 86 47 in the sand. Thats not kindness thats a coded call to eliminate someone they disagree with. Its hypocritical," said Mike LeLieur, chair of the Santa Cruz County Republican Party to Fox News Digital.LeLieur said local conservatives face growing hostility from the political left."Weve had vehicles vandalized, tires slashed, and windows broken. I was forced off the road and attacked just for having a Trump sticker. At our State of the Union watch party, we were swarmed by angry protesters. Its been nonstop hostility and these are the same people who call themselves the Party of Peace."Just 8.5% of voters in the city of Santa Cruz are registered Republicans, according to the most recent data from the California Secretary of State.Despite the message written in the sand, some participants insisted the demonstration was rooted in compassion."We want to go back to the way we were. We want to make America kind again," said protester Beth Basilius to Lookout Santa Cruz.Supporters of the protest claimed that "86 47" was a symbolic rejection of Trumps agenda, not a literal threat. But critics say that argument falls flat in a political climate where coded language carries real-world consequences."In California and especially in Santa Cruz County the left is creating a political environment of non-acceptance and persecution," said Daniel Enriquez, a representative of the California Republican Assembly. "Its consistent with the goals of socialist movements throughout history."Jenny Evans, co-leader of Indivisible Santa Cruz County, defended the event."When a great number of people come out to do something like this, it just is one more thing to show that were not all saying, Fine, fine. Well go along with whatever you want," she said to Lookout Santa Cruz.The event was also part of Santa Cruzs 50th Pride celebration. Participants were instructed to dress in matching rainbow colors, coordinated with fabric laid out across the beach starting at 7 a.m.The protest was peaceful, but critics say calling for kindness while displaying "86 47" sent a message that was anything but.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPIndivisible Santa Cruz County did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 131 Visualizações 0 Anterior
