A young woman who regrets trying to change her gender as a troubled teenager celebrated Wednesdays landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding a Tennessee law banning transgender medical treatments for minors."I'm really grateful," Independent Women's Ambassador Prisha Mosley told Fox News Digital.Mosley, 26, is part of the growing community of young people who are speaking out about their regrets after undergoing medical treatments to treat their gender dysphoria. After being prescribed puberty blockers and testosterone as a teen and having a double mastectomy, Mosley feels medical professionals preyed on her vulnerability and treated her as an "experiment."As an ambassador for the conservative group Independent Women, she's provided testimony advocating for states, including Tennessee, to enact legislation to stop medical providers from assisting in the gender transition of children.SCOTUS RULES ON STATE BAN ON GENDER TRANSITION 'TREATMENTS' FOR MINORS IN LANDMARK CASEMosley told Fox News Digital she wasn't that surprised by the ruling, as she considered the plaintiffs' case weak."The arguments were not good on the side of this type of harm for minors," she recalled. "And their representation from the ACLU had to admit under oath that 'gender-affirming care' does not even reduce the suicide rate for anyone."Mosley has taken legal action against the medical professionals she says pushed her into gender transition as a teen when she struggled with mental illnesses, including anorexia, OCD, suicidal thoughts and trauma from being raped.She was about 16 years old when she started socially transitioning after being convinced by transgender activists online that she was unhappy because her "body was fighting to be a boy." At 17, medical professionals affirmed this belief and quickly put her on puberty blockers and testosterone.THE SUPREME COURT DID THE RIGHT THING. I KNOW BECAUSE I WAS PART OF A HORRIFYING GENDER TRANSITION.She later underwent a double mastectomy and now faces chronic pain and major health problems due to these treatments.She's spent the last several years warning others of the dangers and devastating consequences that can result from hormones and sex reassignment surgeries."They're completely irreversible. It's impossible to actually have a sex change which children are duped into believing they're having by activists, doctors who are lying. And they lie to you along the entire way with euphemisms and a refusal to use actual medical terminology, but a sex exchange never takes place. All you transition into is a less healthy version of yourself with the same problems that brought you to reject your sex," Mosley told Fox News Digital.She dismissed headlines from some media outlets Wednesday decrying the ruling as a "setback" or "new attack" on transgender rights.DETRANSITIONER SLAMS TRANS PSUEDOSCIENCE THAT DOCTORS SAID WOULD SOLVE HER MENTAL DISTRESS: ITS QUACKERY'"It's insincere," she reacted to the media coverage. "This ruling is good for people, for children who identify as trans too."She argued the law would protect children who've been caught up in a "social contagion" from being pressured into medical treatments that could leave irreparable changes to their bodies."And in states that have banned this type of care, they're going to be lawfully protected from doctors who would take advantage of them in their vulnerable state while they have strange beliefs and take away their health and their body parts. And it's now lawful to ban doctors from doing that," she continued.At issue in the case, United States v. Skrmetti, was whether Tennessee's Senate Bill 1 violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.That law prohibits states from allowing medical providers to deliver puberty blockers and hormones to facilitate a minor's transition to another sex.It also targets healthcare providers in the state who continue to provide such procedures to gender-dysphoric minors opening these providers up to fines, lawsuits and other liability.The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) asked the Supreme Court to hear the case on behalf of the parents of three transgender adolescents and a Memphis-based doctor who treats transgender patients.The court upheld the Tennessee law in a 6-3 ruling.Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts said, "The Equal Protection Clause does not resolve these disagreements. Nor does it afford us license to decide them as we see best. Our role is not to judge the wisdom, fairness, or logic of the law before us but only to ensure that it does not violate the equal protection guarantee of the Fourteenth Amendment. Having concluded it does not, we leave questions regarding its policy to the people, their elected representatives, and the democratic process."Fox News' Breanne Deppisch and Bill Mears contributed to this report.

Brandon Lake's collaboration with Jelly Roll on his new album, "King of Hearts," inspired him to set more boundaries in his own life."He had told me how he threw his phone in the river after his Bridgestone show in Nashville. I was like, Tell me more about that,'" Lake told Fox News Digital. "He's like, 'I'm calling you from a flip phone right now.' And literally, because of that, I got a new phone. It's not a flip phone, but I needed to get a new number. I needed it to kind of focus in on my circle of people."Jelly Roll went viral last December when he threw his phone into a river, admitting that he felt overwhelmed at the time about all the calls and texts he was getting.Lake told Fox News Digital that too many people had access to his old number as he got more successful.BRANDON LAKE CELEBRATES GROWTH OF CHRISTIAN MUSIC AFTER LATEST GRAMMY NODS"And while I would love to be friends with everyone the bigger things have gotten, the smaller I've had to go," he explained. "And really make sure I have the right people around," adding that he's started setting boundaries.He released his new album "King of Hearts" this month."I've been looking forward to this day for a long time," he said of the album release. "Funny enough, I got this tattoo a while back on my finger, King of Hearts, and just as like a reminder. More than focusing on the products and the things that I'm making, that I exist to minister to people, to minister God, but also like, ministry's about people, I'm here to reach people, love on people, serve people, and I wanna be a king of hearts, and shepherd people well, no matter what I'm doing."While Lake loves singing about his faith, theres one thing he says he wouldnt sing about when asked.WATCH: Brandon Lake was inspired by Jelly Roll throwing his phone in a river to set his own boundaries"I wouldn't sing about drugs or, you know I'm sure there's plenty of things. I just can't really think. I do know what I want to sing about and that's my faith, that's what my family does. I wanna sing about things that have changed my life and I know that can change other people's lives."BRANDON LAKE PERFORMS HARD FOUGHT HALLELUJAH LIVE ON FOX & FRIENDSLake said Jelly Roll first heard his new song "Hard Fought Hallelujah" on TikTok before he decided to collaborate with him on it.He said when he first wrote the song he wasnt sure if "the world would hear it.""But when you live with it for a while, and you show a few friends, the way they respond to it kinda usually tells you a lot, and we knew it was special," he continued. "And putting it out, I'll tell you, I would never would have imagined that Jelly Roll would have said yes. And the coolest part of the story is that he heard that song on TikTok. Before I even asked him to jump on it and fell in love with the song, was waiting for it to come out."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERBy the time he reached out to ask Jelly Roll if hed want to record it with him "because I just felt like the lyrics would really resonate with his story, he was like, Oh, I know what song this is. I'm definitely, I would love to be a part of it. And then it's just produced an amazing friendship, and he's like a brother to me now."He and Jelly Roll have bonded over being husbands and fathers, and he said the country star has given him lots of encouragement in his career.Lake said he began to have his first mental health struggles a few years ago after he finished his first tour.He said his family thought they were doing the right thing, heading straight for a family vacation to Disney World, but he hadnt had time to decompress after the tour, and he suffered his first panic attack."Well, a lot of people, Disney World's like heaven. To me, it was hell on earth at that moment in my life," he said. "I didn't have enough time to just like process, right? Everything, all my dreams were coming true. I just wrote with all my heroes. Just came home from my first tour and I just crashed. And one thing I had to learn was just very physically, I had adrenaline fatigue. And when you are in adrenaline fatigue, your emotional management system is under attack. Even your immune system is under attack. You can get sick, all of that."WATCH: Brandon Lake explains inspiration behind his new King of Hearts albumHe said he began to have scary thoughts and every insecurity was amplified.JELLY ROLLS FARM LIFE BRINGS PEACE AND HEALING FROM DARK TIMES"I isolated myself instead of running to community and running to my wife and saying, Hey, I'm having some wild thoughts," he explained. "And I went into a full-blown panic attack, and it was just like the voice of the enemy was so overwhelming. Every lie and insecurity was so overwhelming."He added, "I had a friend send me a voice memo of him praying over me because I was too prideful to pick up the phone. I thought, I'm gonna fix this myself. And when he prayed over me and I listened to it, I broke. I broke. In a great way."Lake finally told his wife about what hed been struggling with, "and then I kind of began my journey, met with, started going to counseling and just realizing the toll, that the pace of life I was in, like what it was having on me, negatively. And that, I needed to find tools to stay in a healthy place."Since then, Lake said hes hired a health and performance coach who helps him "spiritually, emotionally, physically." Hes changed his diet, and he wears an aura ring to monitor his sleep and HRV."Spiritually speaking, though, I was trying to fill this void and chase another excitement," he explained. "And when I came home and I didn't have another thing to be excited about, I would try to fill it with even good things, like time with my wife and other things."He said it got to the point where he was so "needy" that his wife told him "Babe, I cannot fill. I can't be for you what you need. And so my counselor said one of the most elementary but helpful things. And he said, Brandon, you need to relearn how to go to God first and most. First and most, and I wasn't taking these things to God, and my identity was wrapped up in the things I was doing over who he's called me to be."He said living on a farm has also been therapeutic.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING?

"I need to get my hands dirty. I bought a tractor. I cut the grass. I moved some dirt, and it's been very healing."He added, "Wevegot cows. We have many donkeys.

So, I will be chainsawing some trees and making firewood and doing just very normal, yeah, just some dirty work."Lake said that will "do more for my heart and my head than a lot of things out there. And it's just crazy how simple. I mean, there's doctors prescribing people with depression time in the woods instead of pills, like time in nature.

Lawmakers are debating what role Congress should play as the White House weighs its options in Iran.Does the legislative body have sole power to declare war, or should that power be ceded to the president?The back and forth comes as President Donald Trump mulls whether to join Israel in its campaign against Iran or continue pushing for a diplomatic end and return to the negotiating table to hammer out a nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic.THUNE WARNS IRAN SHOULD RETURN TO NEGOTIATING TABLE 'IF THEY'RE SMART'Helping to ignite the arguments on Capitol Hill are a pair of resolutions in the Senate and House that would require debate and a vote before any force is used against Iran. The measures are designed to put a check on Trumps power and reaffirm Congress constitutional authority.Senators on both sides of the aisle are divided on whether they believe they have sole authority to authorize a strike against Iran or if Trump can do so on his own volition. A predominant argument is that the entire point of supporting Israel is to prevent the Islamic Republic from creating or acquiring a nuclear weapon.'ANOTHER ENDLESS CONFLICT': DEMOCRAT ECHOES TRUMP'S ANTI-WAR STANCE AS MIDDLE EAST TENSIONS ESCALATEIsrael has been successful in taking out a few pieces of infrastructure that were key to that mission but has yet to do real damage to the highly-fortified Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant and would likely need help from the U.S. to crack through the layers of rock shielding the site."The Constitution says the prerogative to declare war, the power to declare war, is solely from the Congress," Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky, told Fox News Digital. "It can't originate from the White House. There is no constitutional authority for the president to bomb anyone without asking permission first."The Constitution divides war powers between Congress and the White House, giving lawmakers the sole power to declare war, while the president acts as the commander in chief directing the military.Then came the War Powers Act of 1973, which sought to further define those roles and ensure that the president has to give Congress notice within 48 hours of the deployment of troops who can only be deployed for 60 days. Notably, Congress has not formally declared war since World War II.MASSIE TO FIELD 'BIPARTISAN WAR POWERS RESOLUTION' TO BAR US FROM ISRAEL-IRAN WAR, AOC SIGNALS SUPPORT"There's really no argument for why he couldn't obey the Constitution," Paul said. "Now, my hope is that he won't do it, his instincts for restraint would prevail."Fox News reached out to the White House for comment.Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., disagreed with Paul and said he believed Trump had the ability to authorize a strike but acknowledged it was "mixed" and "clouded" when factoring in the War Powers Act."It's clear that both Congress and the president have a role to play," he said. "But if you're suggesting, should the president come to Congress first making that decision, its conditioned upon what year you want Congress to make a decision. Sometimes it takes us months, even years, to get nothing done."Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told reporters he believed Trump was "perfectly in his right to do what he's done so far" and reiterated that the ultimate goal was to prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapon.Senate Republicans have found an unlikely ally among Democrats in Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., who has vehemently advocated for Israel while his party has wavered.Fetterman told Fox News Digital he did not believe a strike on Iran was "starting a war," echoing Thunes sentiment that "we have a very specific mission to destroy the nuclear facilities. That's not a war. That is a necessary military exercise to destroy a nuclear facility."And Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., told Fox News Digital "its never been ruled" whether the War Powers Act was constitutional, but he noted that the act still gave the president the authority to act as commander in chief."I think it's pretty much an irrelevant point if President Trump decides to aid Israel with some military action with those bunker-busting bombs," Johnson said. "It's well within the timeframe of him coming under some kind of congressional action."Still, Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., who introduced his war powers resolution Monday, believed the measure was gaining momentum among his colleagues.Kaine told Fox News Digital that, as events have developed, it made the "urgency" of his resolution more apparent. He also expected it would get a vote in the Senate sometime next week. He argued that some Republicans would "very much want to be in the middle of hostilities with Iran.""But the interesting thing is, they've never introduced a war authorization because their constituents would say, Are you nuts?" he said. "And, so, they would like the president to do it, but they wouldn't want to do it themselves."When asked if that was a move to shift blame elsewhere, Kaine said, "They think it will, but it wont."

For over 35 years, I served our nation in both the regular Army and National Guard. I served as both a part-time citizen soldier and full-time Title 10 officer after being mobilized in September 2001. In my career, Ive had the distinct honor to lead both active duty and National Guard organizations, as well as soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines.I have also stood in Red Square in Moscow, Tiananmen Square in China and the edge of the DMZ in North Korea. I have seen how some countries focus significant portions of their military inside their own nations to implement domestic policies and maintain control. Two weeks ago in a series of actions that brought us a little closer to that reality the president sent the National Guard to Americas second-largest city over the objections of the states governor. Almost immediately after, he ordered active-duty Marines to go to the city. And on June 14, we saw service members ride tanks and march in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the 250th Birthday of the U.S. Army. HEGSETH SPARS WITH SENATE DEMOCRATS OVER MARINE DEPLOYMENT TO LA ANTI-ICE RIOTS: 'NOT ABOUT LETHALITY'These actions as seen through my previous role as the No. 2 person in the National Guard Bureau worry me greatly. I am concerned that the administration is transitioning the militarys role from national defense to law enforcement. From protection to intimidation. This transition is a dramatic misuse of power and could lead to disastrous legal, operational and ethical outcomes.First, by sending the military to police our own citizens, we lose a needed separation between the military and our civilian population. The military is designed and trained to defend against external threats, not police its own citizens. The Posse Comitatus Act specifically limits the militarys role in domestic law enforcement and, for good reason to keep military operations separate from civilian policing. This separation is fundamental to who we are as freedom-loving Americans.'STATE OF REBELLION': EXPERT WEIGHS IN ON NEWSOM CHALLENGE TO TRUMP DEPLOYING NATIONAL GUARDThe U.S. military is the best trained in the world for its warfighting mission, but it is neither trained nor equipped for immigration enforcement, immigration detention or civilian arrests. This latest move only increases legal and ethical jeopardy for troops and further endangers the rights of the people of Los Angeles all while risking the absolute worst.Second, the administrations deployment of the military against protests undermines the readiness of our entire armed forces, pulling resources away from critical defense priorities.National Guard units are composed of community members who signed up to serve their respective neighbors. They respond to hurricanes, flooding, forest fires and more. By sending or threatening to send National Guard units across the country simply for constitutionally enshrined protests, we risk moving these units away from what they are designed to act on.POSSE COMITATUS ACT AT CENTER OF TRUMP-NEWSOM NATIONAL GUARD DISPUTE IN LAThe Trump administration didnt just send the National Guard. They sent active-duty Marines as well. Utilizing military assets to put down protests and assist immigration enforcement officers detracts from the military's core mission: national defense. There are real threats abroad, and with our military involved in 160 countries across the globe, we must ensure that were prioritizing the time and money of the armed forces efficiently.The Pentagon already publicly stated that this deployment will cost $134 million, and thats just the beginning. In fact, the unintended effects of this oversight are already clear: service members are sleeping on the floor at night.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONYes, these actions taken by the president in the last few weeks are logistically and legally dubious. But theres a bigger problem at hand. They were taken primarily to intimidate and suppress speech, as well as undermine a governor. By using the military in this way, the president is misusing his power, both tamping down on free speech and usurping states rights.LA MAYOR HITS BACK AT TRUMP MARINE DEPLOYMENTS SAYING 'WE DON'T WANT THEM HERE'It doesnt matter if its a blue state or a red state, an American president should not send in the military to suppress political opposition at home. By acting like this, the government risks breaking the trust between our military members and our communities. Lets be crystal clear: those who commit violence must be held accountable. But at the same time, the right to peaceful demonstration and free speech must be protected. Nothing better demonstrates this point than the image of a U.S. senator being handcuffed and manhandled for voicing his opposition to the presidents actions.No matter what your views, were proud to live in a country where people have constitutional rights such as the rights to free speech and due process under law. Matter of fact: its why many of us sign up to serve. My own family is proud to have served to defend these exact rights. My grandfather served in the Navy in World War II, my father in the Army in Vietnam, and my son in the Air Force in Afghanistan, flying search and rescue missions. The president is taking actions that we and millions of other veterans have stood against, and its abundantly clear that his attempts to use the military to intimidate Americans is wrong, and it must end.

Your genetic makeup could be the reason youre not losing weight.New research from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Ben Gurion University in Israel found that one-third of people who followed a healthy diet did not lose any weight although they did still experience health benefits.Participants exhibited "significant improvements" in cardio-metabolic markers, including improved cholesterol, lower levels of the hunger hormone leptin and less visceral fat, which is found "deep inside" the abdominal cavity, according to a press release.OBESITY MOST PREVALENT IN THESE 3 SOUTHERN CITIESThe study, published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, analyzed changes in weight and health for 761 individuals in Israel who had abdominal obesity.During three trials, participants were assigned to specific healthy diets like low-fat, low-carb, Mediterranean and green-Mediterranean for 18 to 24 months.Across all clinical trials, 36% of participants achieved "clinically significant" weight loss, while 36% achieved moderate weight loss. Another 28% lost no weight or even gained weight.Those who were resistant to weight loss, mostly older individuals and women, showed the same health improvements as participants who lost weight.SCIENTISTS MAY HAVE DISCOVERED WHY THE POUNDS COME BACK AFTER LOSING WEIGHT"We have been conditioned to equate weight loss with health, and weight-loss-resistant individuals are often labeled as failures," lead study author Anat Yaskolka Meir, postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Epidemiology at Harvard Chan School, wrote in a statement."Our findings reframe how we define clinical success. People who do not lose weight can improve their metabolism and reduce their long-term risk for disease. Thats a message of hope, not failure."The study, which was funded by the German Research Foundation, did have some limitations.The majority of participants were men, researchers noted, adding that similar studies should focus on women in the future.Dr. Philip Rabito, an endocrinologist and weight-loss specialist in New York City, told Fox News Digital in an interview that the study findings support what hes experienced at his own practice."There are likely genetic factors that affect an individuals ability to lose weight," said the doctor, who was not involved in the study. "Simply stated, despite similar efforts, caloric restriction and lifestyle interventions, some patients lose more weight than others."LOW-CALORIE DIETS LINKED TO SURPRISING MENTAL HEALTH EFFECT, NEW RESEARCH SHOWSSome individuals will not respond "as robustly" to interventions as others, although this can be overcome with correct guidance, according to Rabito."With proper counseling, dedication and adherence to a lifestyle program, all patients should be able to appreciate weight loss," he said."Even if there is minimal or no weight loss, the study shows that there are still improvements in health parameters just from participating in a weight-loss program."For those who fail to lose weight with traditional weight-loss programs, prescription medications may be an option, he added.Manoel Galvao Neto, M.D., director of bariatric research at Orlando Health Weight Loss and Bariatric Surgery Institute, agreed that DNA can influence weight loss.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER"It is a true combination of genetic factors, and it affects the metabolism, appetite, fat storage and response to diet and exercise," he said in a separate interview with Fox News Digital.Based on emerging research, Neto noted that obesity treatment can be more easily personalized, allowing those with genetic setbacks to reach their fitness goals."If you have the marker for hungry brain,' and you take the GLP-1, you maximize your weight loss by up to 20%," the doctor said.For more Health articles, visitfoxnews.com/health"Obesity is a disease that is chronic, it is progressive, and so far, we don't have a cure, but we are getting more and more information to help control it in a personalized way."Neto encouraged individuals looking to lose weight to "understand yourself" and seek professional help for the best possible outcome.

The most important decision of President Donald Trumps life is before him.It is the decision of whether or not to order the United States military to assist Israel in destroying what remains of Irans nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs. The U.S. has the capabilities to do so. Does President Trump have the will to order it be done?If he does, he will almost certainly bring this war to an end and open the road to a vast expansion of the Abraham Accords.TRUMP WEIGHS STRIKING IRANIAN NUCLEAR FACILITIES: 'I MAY DO IT, I MAY NOT DO IT'It is unrealistic to believe that the hard-liners around Ayatollah Khamenei will want to formally capitulate to the U.S. It is even more difficult to envision the "Supreme Leader" of Iran, Ali Khamenei who has been a reckless fanatical ideologue for 36 years as dictator over the Persian peopleever countenancing the return of Iran to being a "nation instead of a cause" to borrow from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace scholar Karim Sadjapour.But if President Trump orders our military to destroy the most hardened targets in Irans nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs, he will be ending a war that has been underway since first Ayatollah Khomeini and now Ayatollah Khamenei began waging against the U.S. in 1979, a war that has befuddled and defeated the best hopes and most complicated plans of every president since Jimmy Carter, who was shocked by the medieval fanaticism of the "true believers" behind the coup of the 1978-1979 revolution which toppled the Shah and then eliminated all other aspirants for government in Iran.Trump would stand alone as the president who understood how to defeat this evil regime. He will be seen by history as the president who had the strength and vision to finally end the malign aspirations of the Islamic Republic of Irans rulers.As Trump did to ISIS he can do to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps most ambitious terror project: acquiring nukes and the ballistic missiles on which they can ride far and wide around the globe. Whether or not most of the worlds leaders outside its alliance of tyrants say so, they will congratulate Trump privately as will history publicly.It is important to note that when then-plain-old businessman and real estate developer Donald Trump came down the escalator 10 years ago on June 16, 2015, to announce his candidacy, he included in his remarks the warning that "Iran is going to take over the Middle EastThink of it. Iran is taking over Iraq, and theyre taking it over big league."Trump added ten years ago! his pledge about Iran and nuclear weapons: "I will stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons. And we wont be using a man like Secretary Kerry that has absolutely no concept of negotiation, whos making a horrible and laughable deal, whos just being tapped along as they make weapons right now"Donald Trump laid out his entire program in that speech and the most important parts of it deal with Iran and China.China is a superpower which must be dealt with carefully, the worst instincts of its regime deterred, its exploitation of the world stopped.But Iran is the immediate menace because if it gets a nuclear weapon, the fanatics who run that regime will use their first weapon against Israel and their second against us.The regime atop the Persian people, oppressing them terribly, is different from every other adversary of the United States and the West because it is a theocracy, and one with horrific visions of the "end times" which does not reject, but which could actually encourage nuclear war. This extreme branch of Shia Islam is a uniquely evil threat to the world.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONAnd President Trump is in a position to end the nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs and destroy the practical steps those ambitions require for the foreseeable future while setting a precedent a "Trump Doctrine" for the ages: Do not threaten or kill, wound or kidnap Americans and America, for we will stop you from doing it again.The appeasement caucus within the United States is loud. Its "sunk costs," especially for those with fingerprints on President Obamas disastrous "JCPOA" agreement or President Bidens disastrous decision to end President Trumps "maximum pressure" campaign from his first term, are lined up urging opposition to Trumps decisive action. They know their legacies are already in ruins, but they do not want President Trumps to grow beyond the Accords, Operation Warp Speed and many other accomplishments.They fear being exposed as foolish and wrong more than they fear America being endangered.Most of all, they do not want Trump remembered alongside the presidents who brought hot or cold wars to an end.President Trump can join the first rank of presidents with this decision. Pray he makes the right one.Hugh Hewitt is a Fox News contributor, and host of "The Hugh Hewitt Show," heard weekday mornings 6am to 9am ET on the Salem Radio Network, and simulcast on Salem News Channel.

Caitlin Clark spent part of her offseason on the golf course, teaming up with Nelly Korda and Annika Sorenstam in a pro-am at Pelican Golf Club in November.The Indiana Fever star played the front nine with Korda and the back nine with Sorenstam. Clark had joked after the team was eliminated from the playoffs that she would take up golfing and likely did not expect to hit the course with a legend like Sorenstam.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMIn a recent interview with Fox News Digital, Sorenstam recalled playing with Clark on the golf course and said she was a "bigger fan" after meeting the young basketball player."Its great, obviously, Im a big fan, and bigger fan after meeting her and spending some time, great athlete very focused, understands when you have a task to do it," she said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared in a post on X that Israel "will exact the full price from the tyrants in Tehran," after a missile hit a hospital in the Jewish state."This morning, Iran's terrorist tyrants launched missiles at Soroka Hospital in Beersheba and at a civilian population in the center of the country," Netanyahu said in the Hebrew-language post on X, according to a translation into English.Israel began bombarding the Islamic Republic of Iran last week in a bid to stamp out the threat posed by the hostile radical regime's nuclear weapons ambitions, and has continued attacking this week.IRAN STRIKES MAJOR ISRAELI HOSPITAL AFTER CLAIMING ISRAEL HIT ITS ARAK HEAVY WATER REACTORIsrael, a close U.S. ally, noted in post on X, "The Iranian regime targeted Soroka Hospital in Beersheba with a ballistic missilehitting a major medical center.

He is an easy target, but is safe there - We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now. But we dont want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

President Donald Trump appears to be downplaying talk that some of his long-loyal MAGA supporters are breaking with him over the possibility that the president will order a military strike on Iran.This amid the nearly week-long daily trading of fire between the Islamic State and Israel, America's top ally in the Middle East."My supporters are more in love with me today, and Im more in love with them, more than they even were at election time," the president said when asked about a GOP rift between some of his most vocal supporters of his America First agenda, and more traditional national security conservatives.The president, speaking to reporters on Wednesday on the South Lawn of the White House, added: "I may have some people that are a little bit unhappy now, but I have some people that are very happy, and I have people outside of the base that cant believe that this is happening. Theyre so happy."CLICK HERE FOR FOX NEWS LIVE UPDATES ON THE ISRAEL-IRAN ATTACKSAsked if he would order an attack on Iran to prevent Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons, the president said, "I may do it, I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what Im going to do. I can tell you this, that Irans got a lot of trouble."The prospect of Trump jumping into the incredibly volatile situation in the Middle East is causing plenty of consternation among some of his top political and ideological allies, and creating divisions within MAGA - a rare moment for a movement that's been firmly supportive of Trump since his 2016 White House campaign.TRUMP SAYS IRAN'S GOT A LOT OF TROUBLESome top MAGA voices over the past week have argued against any kind of U.S. military involvement with Israel against Iran, arguing it would contradict Trump's America First policy to keep the nation out of foreign wars. And they say it would repeat the move more than two decades ago by then-President George W. Bush to attack Iraq, which Trump had long criticized on the campaign trail.Among those speaking out have been conservative commentator Tucker Carlson and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, a top Trump House ally.Also voicing concerns while remaining firmly supportive of the president are Charlie Kirk the conservative host and MAGA-world figurehead who leads the influential Turning Point USA and Steve Bannon, a prominent MAGA ally and former top adviser to Trumps 2016 campaign.But there's been plenty of support for Trump, and for attacking Iran, by other top MAGA world voices.VANCE DEFENDS TRUMP'S IRAN POSITION AMID CRAZY STUFF ON SOCIAL MEDIAAlso defending Trump this week was Vice President JD Vance, who is a top voice in the America First, isolationist wing of the party.Vance, speaking to both sides, highlighted Tuesday in a social media post that "people are right to be worried about foreign entanglement after the last 25 years of idiotic foreign policy."But Vance stressed that Trump "has earned some trust on this issue."And the vice president added that "having seen this up close and personal, I can assure you that he is only interested in using American military to accomplish the American peoples goals. Whatever he does, that is his focus."Trump, speaking with reporters on Wednesday afternoon, said: "I don't want to get involved either, but I've been saying for 20 years, maybe longer, that Iran can not have a nuclear weapon."USS NIMITZ CARRIER STRIKE GROUP SAILING TOWARD MIDDLE EAST AHEAD OF SCHEDULE, US OFFICIAL SAYS"My supporters are for me. My supporters are America First and Make America Great Again. My supporters don't want to see Iran have a nuclear weapon," the president added.The current debate within the Republican Party wouldn't have happened before Trump shook up and remade the GOP over the past decade.Wayne Lesperance, a veteran political scientist and the president of New England College, highlighted that "the divide in the GOP can be traced to Trumps promises to pull America back from its entanglements in the world."And Matthew Bartlett, a Republican strategist who served at the State Department during Trump's first term, noted that "Donald Trump changed the direction of the Republican Party" when it comes to American military engagements around the world."That gave him a new coalition and new political power. This new war in the Middle East is certainly threatening that coalition. While we are not yet involved in a war, chances of escalation are dramatically increased and that certainly has ramifications with the MAGA coalition," Bartlett warned.

At ETH Zurich's Robotic Systems Lab, engineers have created ANYmal-D, a four-legged robot that can play badminton with people.This project brings together robotics, artificial intelligence and sports, showing how advanced robots can take on dynamic, fast-paced games.ANYmal-D's design and abilities are opening up new possibilities for human-robot collaboration in sports and beyond.Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts, and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox. Plus, youll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide free when you join.Badminton is a game that requires quick footwork, fast reactions, and precise hand-eye coordination. To give a robot a chance on the court, theETH Zurich team equipped ANYmal-D with four legs for stability and agility, a dynamic arm to swing the racket, and a stereo camera to track the shuttlecock. The robot uses a reinforcement learning-based controller, which allows it to predict and react to the shuttlecock's movement in real-time. ANYmal-D can move around the court, adjust its posture, and time its swings, keeping rallies going with human players for up to 10 shots.NO TENNIS PARTNER? NO WORRIES WITH THIS AI ROBOTANYmal-D's stereo camera serves as its eyes, constantly monitoring the shuttlecock. The robot uses a "perception noise model" to compare what it sees with data from its training, helping it track the shuttlecock even when it moves unpredictably. The robot can pitch its body to keep the shuttlecock in view, mimicking how a human player might lean in for a tricky shot.HUMANPLUS ROBOT CAN GO FROM PLAYING THE PIANO TO PING-PONG TO BOXINGCoordinating legs and an arm is tough for any robot. The ETH Zurich team developed a unified control policy using reinforcement learning, allowing ANYmal-D to move and swing as a coordinated whole. This system was trained in simulation, so the robot learned how to handle a wide range of shots and situations before stepping onto a real court.AI HUMANOID ROBOT LEARNS TO MIMIC HUMAN EMOTIONS AND BEHAVIORANYmal-D combines a sturdy quadrupedal base with the DynaArm, and its racket is set at a 45-degree angle for effective striking. The robot's state estimation runs at 400 Hz, the control policy updates at 100 Hz, and the perception system operates at 60 Hz. All of this runs on a Jetson AGX Orin module, making the robot responsive and ready for action.GET A FREE SCAN TO FIND OUT IF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION IS ALREADY OUT ON THE WEBGetting the robot's legs and arm to work together smoothly is a major challenge. Most robots handle these tasks separately, but this limits agility. By combining locomotion and arm control into a single system, ANYmal-D can adjust its posture and gait based on the shuttlecock's path, moving more like a human player.AI TENNIS ROBOT COACH BRINGS PROFESSIONAL TRAINING TO PLAYERSRobots don't have human eyes, so their cameras can struggle with frame rates and field of view. ANYmal-D's perception-aware controller keeps its camera moving smoothly, always tracking the shuttlecock. The perception noise model helps bridge the gap between simulation and real matches, making the robot more reliable during games.WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?Bringing ANYmal-D from the lab to the badminton court meant dealing with practical issues like power limits and communication delays. Despite these challenges, the robot managed to keep up with human players, responding to different shot speeds and landing positions, and maintaining rallies that showcased its adaptability and skill.In collaborative games with amateur players, ANYmal-D tracked, intercepted, and returned shuttlecocks with impressive consistency. On average, it took about 0.357 seconds to process the shuttlecock's trajectory after a human hit, leaving just over half a second to get into position and make the shot. While it didn't return every shot, the robot's ability to maintain rallies and adjust to the pace of the game highlights how far robotics has come in dynamic sports scenarios.SUBSCRIBE TO KURTS YOUTUBE CHANNEL FOR QUICK VIDEO TIPS ON HOW TO WORK ALL OF YOUR TECH DEVICESANYmal-D really shows how far robotics has come, especially when it comes to working alongside people in fast-paced activities like badminton. Its interesting to see a robot not just keeping up on the court, but actually rallying with human players and adapting to the game as it unfolds. As these technologies keep improving, its easy to picture more robots joining us in all sorts of sports and activities, making play and teamwork even more fun for everyone.Would you be curious to play a match against a robot like ANYmal-D, or do you think nothing can replace the experience of playing badminton with another human?
