LeAnn Rimes took it in stride after experiencing an unfortunate onstage mishap during one of her recent concerts.The 42-year-old singer suddenly walked off-stage last Saturday while performing at the Skagit Valley Casino & Resort in Bow, Washington. The following day, Rimes shared a candid video on Instagram in which she revealed that her teeth had fallen out when she was singing her 1996 hit "One Way Ticket.""This is the most epic example of how the show must go on," Rimes began her clip. "Last night, I was onstage in the middle of One Way Ticket and I felt something pop in my mouth."LEANN RIMES DISCUSSES FIGHTING DEPRESSION, ANXIETY: 'I HAD SO MUCH UNDERLYING GRIEF'"If youve been around, you know that Ive had a lot of dental surgeries, and I have a bridge in front, and it fell out in the middle of my song last night," she continued.Rimes said she struggled a lot growing up in the public eye.The two-time Grammy Award winner admitted that she "panicked" and ran to the side of the stage where she "popped" her bridge back in before returning to continue her performance."I just had to get real with everybody and tell them exactly what was happening, or else I would have had to walk off stage," Rimes explained."For the rest of the show I was literally like this pushing my teeth in, like, every couple of lines," she added as she pressed her thumb on her mouth.APP USERS CLICK HERE TO VIEW POSTRimes said she realized that singing some of her songs was particularly difficult due to the challenging syllables in the lyrics."Like Cant Fight the Moonlight,' they completely fell again in my mouth," the singer recalled with a laugh. "It was the most epic experience ever."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS"I dont usually have firsts in my career. That was a first and hopefully a last," she said.Rimes, who gave a second performance at the same venue on Sunday, jokingly issued a warning to her concert-goers in case she suffered another dental malfunction."I hope my teeth stay in tonight," Rimes said. "We shall see. The front row, get ready for something to fly out. Yeah, if you catch them, please return them."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"Just keeping it real," she added. "Like I said, there wasnt a f------ thing I could do about it except either walk off or just hold my teeth in and sing, so I just ran with it."Rimes explained that she hoped her confession would comfort other artists if they suffered similar misfortunes in the future."In case anybody has an issue on stage ever and feels embarrassed by it, just watch this video again and it'll remind you that the show can go on even in the midst of sheer utter embarrassment," she said. "You just gotta be real with people."According to Billboard, Rimes has a long history of dental issues and has had 29 surgeries. The outlet reported that the "How Do I Live Without You" hitmaker sued her former dentist for malpractice in 2013, claiming that she suffered from chronic pain and medical complications after getting veneers.

President Donald Trump on Saturday said he is looking for a GOP candidate to mount a primary challenge against Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., after the lawmaker announced he would not support the president's "big, beautiful bill.""Numerous people have come forward wanting to run in the Primary against 'Senator Thom' Tillis," Trump wrote on Truth Social."I will be meeting with them over the coming weeks, looking for someone who will properly represent the Great People of North Carolina and, so importantly, the United States of America," he continued. "Thank you for your attention to this matter!"Tillis, who is up for re-election in 2026, came out against Trump's spending bill earlier on Saturday over concerns about deep cuts to Medicaid.KEY GOP SENATOR DEFECTS ON CRUCIAL VOTE, IMPERILING TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' IN NARROW MAJORITYThe senator vowed not to support the measure through a procedural hurdle needed to kick off a marathon of debate and amendment voting that would eventually lead to a vote on the measures final passage.As he was leaving the Senate GOP's closed-door lunch on Saturday, the North Carolina lawmaker said he has a "great relationship" with his colleagues, but that he could not support the colossal bill."We just have a disagreement," he said. "And, you know, my colleagues have done the analysis, and they're comfortable with the impact on their states. I respect their choice. It's not a good impact in my state, so I'm not going to vote on the motion to proceed."The Senate cleared the hurdle late Saturday to start debate on the bill by a 51-49 vote. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., was another Republican who joined Tillis in voting no."Did Rand Paul Vote 'NO' again tonight? Whats wrong with this guy???" Trump wrote on Truth Social.Senate Republicans hold a slim 53-47 majority and can only afford to lose three votes. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said earlier that she would help advance the bill through the first step, but was leaning against voting to pass the bill's final passage unless the legislation was "further changed."Collins and other initial GOP holdouts, Sens. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., voted to at least advance the legislation through the first key procedural hurdle.SENATE REPUBLICANS RAM THROUGH TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' THROUGH KEY TEST VOTEThe latest version of the bill pushed back the provider rate crackdown by one year and also added another $25 billion for a rural hospital stabilization fund over the next five years.During a closed-door lunch earlier this week, Tillis reportedly warned that North Carolina could lose as much as $40 billion in Medicaid funding if the changes were codified. He is also planning to unveil further analysis on the impact of Medicaid cuts on his state that he said no one in the "administration or in this building" has been able to refute."The president and I have talked, and I just told him that, 'Look, if this works for the country, that's great. And if my other colleagues have done extensive research and concluded it's different in their states, I respect that,'" he said. "We just have a disagreement based on the implementation in our respective states."Fox News' Alex Miller contributed to this report.

Smoking and vaping are banned on flights, but it appears that smokeless nicotine pouches are allowed depending on the airline.Pouches are allowed in both carry-on bags and checked bags, according to the TSA.Yet when it comes to the actual use of these items on flights, airlines can determine their own rules for smokeless tobacco activity.SNEAKY AIRLINE PASSENGER'S CARRY-ON HACK SPARKS DEBATE OVER FLIGHT ETIQUETTEAmerican, United, Alaska Airlines, Southwest Airlines, JetBlue Airways and Spirit Airlines do not specifically define on their websites whether passengers can use nicotine pouches, according to the most recent review of their sites.Recently, one flight passenger called out an airline in the "r/delta" forum on Reddit for an experience with chewing Zyn on board."Got told to spit my Zyn out on a flight. I really didn't know that was a thing?" the user wrote."Delta flight, first class (not that that matters). They brought a cup out and asked me to spit my Zyn out."The user added, "They said it was because it was a tobacco product. I didnt put up a fight and complied right away."AMERICANS READY TO HIT THE ROAD IN RECORD NUMBERS THIS INDEPENDENCE DAY"Was just wondering if this was an FAA thing I didnt know about?" asked the flight passenger.Redditors took to the comments section to share thoughts about the incident and their own similar experiences."Probably because the way you had it in your lip, it looked like a dip," said one user.Another Redditor argued, "Zyn isnt tobacco. You can have it in flight.""Tobacco or not, does it cause you to spit into a bottle or cup that could spill or be left stuffed in the seat pocket that someone else has to clean up?" said one person.For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyle"Then Id say it doesnt matter what you call it," the person added.A user commented, "It [is] allowed but be discrete. I see many people using them on flights, myself included, and as long as youre not doing it right in front of an FA, youre fine," the person added."It is silly because no one would stop you from using nicotine gum or a patch," the same user added.One user claimed, "I was on a United flight a few days ago and the shopping/menu magazine in the seatback actually had a Zyn ad in it. It said something like, Flight ready.""How would the FA even know what it is? Just looks like gum/mints," said another individual.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTEROn Delta's "Contract of Carriage" section on its website, the airline specifies a no-smoking policy."Delta prohibits smoking and the use of all smokeless tobacco products (including e-cigarettes and vapes) on all flights," it states.A Delta spokesperson said the policy also prohibits smokeless tobacco, including pouches and gum.

A teenager remains in intensive care after suffering severe injuries in a freak diving accident at Hampton Beach.The incident happened on Monday afternoon in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, where 19-year-old Aiden Sloan and his cousins were playing in the water to beat the heat."He was diving into the water into the waves, I've done it a thousand times, and I think it was more shallow than he expected," Hampton Beach Fire Chief Michael McMahon told Fox News Digital.Sloan's mom, Melina Burton, echoed McMahon and described the ordeal to Fox News Digital and what life has been like since she got word of her son's injury.COLLEGE SENIOR KILLED AFTER 'ACCIDENTALLY' FALLING FROM TROPICAL ISLAND HOTEL BALCONY DAYS BEFORE GRADUATION"They were diving into the waves like kids do," Burton described. "And there was a sandbar that nobody could have known was there, so he dove through a wave, and he hit the sandbar head-on."Burton shared that Sloan's cousins also saw something had gone terribly wrong and dragged him to the beach, where they realized he wasn't breathing."He was just, like, not moving at all," one of Sloan's cousins told NBC10 Boston when the accident happened. "It was like we were carrying a dead body."Burton said her son had been completely knocked out and if it was not for his cousins, he might not be alive today.ILLINOIS HS ATHLETE SUFFERS HORRIFIC INJURY WHILE WARMING UP FOR TRIPLE JUMP"They're actually really great kids, and they're handling it so well. I did check in with both of them. Michael, the one that actually pulled Aiden out of the water, was here yesterday. And I said, Can I give you a hug?" Burton said."I said, I am so, so grateful to you for rescuing my boy and pulling him out of the water, because he probably would not even be here today if you had not done that. So I will forever be grateful."McMahon added that he had gone out on a similar call years ago, in nearly the exact same situation."So it didn't shock me, but it's not a regular occurrence for us, certainly. And it is unfortunate," McMahon said."Sometimes, we go to calls and people are doing dumb things and drugs and alcohol and this was not how we saw this. This was just a kid at the beach because it was hot, and he got hurt in a terribly unfortunate way."VACATION ABROAD TURNS TRAGIC FOR AMERICAN NURSE AFTER ACCIDENT LEAVES HER 'ALL METAL'A GoFundMe page has been set up for Sloan, where he is described as having suffered from a broken neck."He misjudged the depth of some water at Hampton and, as a result, broke his neck," the post read. "He is unable to move his legs and hands at this point but is able to move his arms. His mom, Melina, is a single mom and will need to be by her boy's side as he recovers."Burton said it is too soon to tell if there is any permanent damage and said Sloan is just trying to be strong and take each day as it comes."The doctor met with him this morning just to kind of explain to him, one, the surgery that they did on him, and two, what exactly his injuries were. When they explained it to him the first time, he was so drowsy that he didn't really understand," Burton said."So they came back in this morning, they said that he has two things going for him. One, the fact that he's 19, young and strong, and two, that they were able to operate on him within 12 hours of the injury. So the prognosis we don't know yet, there's a lot of different factors."Sloan, who is also a chef at a restaurant inside the Nash Casino, is receiving support from his employer, who is donating a portion of sales to his medical expenses."A member of our Greenleaf family, Aiden Sloan, unfortunately suffered a serious neck injury while having a fun day at Hampton beach earlier this week," Greenleaf Milford wrote in a post on their Facebook page."Aiden joined our Greenleaf family at a young age, and we watched him grow as a person and a cook over the years and he and his family have our full love and support during these difficult times."Sloan is expected to remain in the hospital for several weeks before going to a rehab facility, Burton said, and is hopeful things turn around."They (doctors) ask him multiple times a day if he can move his hands and his fingers, if he could move his feet and toes, and if he can lift his knees. Or if he can feel anything in his midsection, and he gets very defeated and hopeless when he can't," Burton explained."And he doesn't understand why they keep asking him to try these things. So he's very tearful. He's very emotional today, which for anybody who knows Aiden, it is not who he is at all. He is always smiling and joking and happy. And even when, you know, life isn't going so great for him, he is still always just trying to make people laugh. So to see him so defeated and hopeless right now is really heartbreaking."

Sean "Diddy Combs' sex trafficking and racketeering trial came to a close after seven weeks on Friday as the rapper's defense team and prosecution completed closing arguments.Both sides saw wins and losses throughout the trial, but experts claimed Diddy "might be cooked" on one specific charge as the jury prepares to deliberate. After his arrest in September 2024, the "Last Night" singer was charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.Former Danity Kane singer and Diddy protg, Aubrey O'Day, has been following the trial and isnt sure what the outcome will be. While she personally believes the rapper is "guilty of all the charges," the musician isn't sold on the prosecution's case in court.DIDDY BLOWS KISS TO FAMILY AFTER PROSECUTION PROMISES TO PUT A STOP TO HIS ALLEGED CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR"The rational, justice side of me that leads a good amount of what I do nowadays says the answer should be what was proven by the prosecution, the law, and thats conflicting to what I want personally," she told Extra.She noted: "I dont know if the prosecution proved [Diddy's crimes] without a doubt, though."DIDDY SAYS NOT TESTIFYING IS SOLELY MY DECISION, BOTH SIDES REST IN SEX CRIMES TRIALDuring closing arguments, prosecutors argued that Diddy ran an alleged criminal enterprise with full control. They pointed out that the jury heard testimony, saw texts, viewed bank records and heard audio showing the rapper committing crime after crime for decades. According to the prosecution, the government showed that Diddy didnt take no for an answer. Up until today, Diddy was able to get away with crime because of his money and power,Assistant U.S. Attorney Christine Slavik said. "That stops now."Here's where experts say things stand for each charge against Diddy with the jury about to deliberate.WATCH: DEFENSE ATTORNEY BREAKS DOWN TROUBLING TREND WITH DIDDY DEFENSE TEAMAs to the transportation to engage in prostitution charge, an expert told Fox News Digital, Diddy might be in trouble."The sex workers were very clear about their role and their purpose for being transported across state lines; it was for sex and not something else," criminal defense attorney Eric Faddis explained. "Diddy might be cooked on this charge."However, the defense did find a way to show the jury a different explanation in an attempt to undermine the government's argument. "Defense got an employee of one of the companies to say that Diddy was just buying the escorts' time and not any sexual performance, which the jury could use as a basis to acquit Diddy on the transportation charges," Faddis, a founding partner of Colorado-based Varner Faddis, said.The jury is unlikely to find Diddy not guilty of racketeering, criminal defense attorney John W. Day told Fox News Digital."The only thing Diddy and his team can hope for is a miracle where the jurors don't buy the government's claim that this was racketeering and that Diddy was the head of a criminal empire dedicated to fulfilling his desires," the founder of New Mexico-based law practice, John Day Law, explained. "A defense win is more likely if the jurors are conflicted on the racketeering charges and can't reach a unanimous verdict. That could lead to a hung jury on one or more of the charges. But the jurors spent the entire trial waiting to see how Diddy's lawyers rebutted the massive case against him, and they merely rested without putting on any witnesses. That leaves the jury picking through the government's case to see if this really rises to racketeering, and if not, they may hang or acquit on some of the charges but it's unlikely."WATCH: THE PROSECUTORS' MADE A GRAVE ERROR IN THE DIDDY CASE, CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY WARNSLIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSAccording to the legal expert, the prosecution "presented overwhelming evidence" that Diddy "presided over this little kingdom of criminal activity designed to make him happy and made a compelling case to the jury that this met all the elements of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution.""The prosecution can withstand an acquittal or a hung jury on some of the counts, but the prosecutors really need a conviction for racketeering to claim total victory," Day added. "Again, that can be a difficult charge to convict on if the jurors don't buy the theory that this entire business empire was engaged in sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. But the defense needed to have convinced at least one juror that the case wasn't there, and that witnesses were lying to save their own necks. And that's a tough sell to a jury that spent weeks listening to horrific testimony about Diddy and his empire."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERThings aren't as clear-cut on the sex trafficking charge, one expert told Fox News Digital. Diddy was accused of sex trafficking two of his ex-girlfriends, Cassie Ventura and Jane, who testified under a pseudonym. The prosecution claimed the rapper transported both women across state lines and then forced them to have sex with male escorts while he watched."On cross-examination, both Cassie and Jane admitted to willingly participating in some of the freak offs, which could cause the jurors to wonder if all of the romantic encounters may have been consensual," Faddis noted."Both Cassie and Jane admitted to voluntarily ingesting drugs before the freak offs,' which may undercut the prosecution's coercion argument."The criminal defense attorney did note that Cassie and Jane both gave "compelling, evocative testimony detailing physical abuse and financial coercion."

A New Jersey Republican has proposed legislation to change the Delaware Bay to "The Bay of New Jersey," appearing to be inspired by President Donald Trump's executive order changing the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.The measure, introduced Thursday by GOP state Sen. Michael Testa, would order state agencies to use "The Bay of New Jersey" in publications, signage, websites and materials to reflect the new designation and notify relevant federal entities, NJ.com reported."I look at the robust fishing industry - commercial fishing industry and recreational industry of the State of New Jersey," he told the outlet. "I think that the fact that we have to call the bay that we fish in the Delaware Bay - theyve had a claim to that long enough."Testa represents Cape May County, which the bay borders.MEXICO SUES GOOGLE FOR CHANGING 'GULF OF MEXICO' TO 'GULF OF AMERICA' AFTER TRUMP'S ORDER"Its time to Make New Jersey Great Again!" Testa wrote on X.The bay is a vital body of water for New Jersey tourism, commerce and travel that has had the name of its southern neighbor since 1610, according to the Delaware governments website, and was named after the third baron de la Warr, Thomas West, who governed the Virginia colony.The proposed legislation comes after Trump signed an order in January renaming the northern part of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. The body of water has shared borders between the U.S. and Mexico, and Trumps order only carries authority within the U.S.Last month, U.S. House Republicans passed the Gulf of America Act, marking the first step in codifying Trump's order in the U.S. The legislation is now awaiting consideration in the Senate.GOOGLE MAPS, FAA OFFICIALLY ACKNOWLEDGE GULF OF AMERICA AFTER TRUMP DECLARATION: ISNT IT BEAUTIFUL?'Trump's order also prompted Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont, a Democrat, to jokingly suggest amending the Long Island Sound to the "Connecticut Sound.""While the maps are changing, heres an idea," Lamont posted on X in February, tagging New York Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul with an altered map with the sound renamed.Another bill Testa introduced this week seeks to reclaim a slice of land along Salem Countys shore claimed by Delaware in a decades-old border agreement with New Jersey, according to NJ.com.

A potentially deadly fungus known as "pharaoh's curse fungus" could offer an unexpected path to fighting cancer, recent research shows.Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania modified molecules from the fungus which is officially called Aspergillus flavus to create a new compound and enhance its cancer-killing properties."Fungi gave us penicillin," said Dr. Xue (Sherry) Gao, an associate professor at UPenn and leader of the study, in a press release. "These results show that many more medicines derived from natural products remain to be found."SINGLE DOSE OF 'MAGIC MUSHROOMS' PROVIDES 5 YEARS OF DEPRESSION RELIEF, RESEARCHERS FINDThe findings were published in the journal Nature Chemical Biology.Aspergillus flavus is found in decaying leaves and compost, as well as on trees, plants and some crops, according to Mayo Clinic.While the fungus doesn't endanger most healthy people, it can cause respiratory issues for those who have weakened immune systems or are taking certain medications.Some of the more severe complications of the fungus can include bleeding in the lungs and life-threatening infections in the brain, heart and kidneys, Mayo Clinic stated.After archaeologists opened King Tuts tomb in the 1920s, multiple members of the excavation team died suddenly, fueling rumors of a "curse" upon those who dared interfere with the pharaohs rest, according to the UPenn press release.Decades later, doctors hypothesized that fungal spores, which had been dormant for thousands of years, could have infected the team.In the 1970s, it happened again, the university stated.A dozen scientists entered another tomb, this time in Poland and 10 died within a few weeks. Later investigations were said to reveal the presence of Aspergillus flavus in the tomb.Now, the same fungus linked to King Tut's tomb could have the capability to fight leukemia in a new form of cancer therapy."There are a variety of compounds able to be produced by fungus," Gao told Fox News Digital.These compounds can be toxic to different cells, she noted, depending on the "biological management we are able to mitigate."CANCER COULD BE DETECTED THREE YEARS BEFORE DIAGNOSIS WITH EXPERIMENTAL BLOOD TESTThe study aimed to find a specific kind of compound ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides, or "RiPPs" within Aspergillus flavus, which was previously shown to be a good source.When this compound is able to enter cancer cells, Gao said, it may be able to stop their growth."Cancer cells divide uncontrollably," Gao said in the release. "These compounds block the formation of microtubules, which are essential for cell division."When mixed with human cancer cells, two variants of the molecules within these RiPPS were found to have potent effects against leukemia cells, the researchers found.Another variant performed as well as two FDA-approved drugs that have been used for decades to treat leukemia (cytarabine and daunorubicin).Tiffany Troso-Sandoval, M.D., a medical oncologist and cancer care consultant based in New York, cautioned that this study, which was performed on cell cultures, is still in the very early stages.YOUR FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE COULD BE LINKED TO DEADLY FORM OF CANCER, STUDY FINDS"It's still very far away from being applicable to use in humans with leukemia," Troso-Sandoval, who was not involved in the study, told Fox News Digital.Speaking about RiPPs, the doctor told Fox News Digital, "What they're referring to [in the study] is basically a rare type of bioactive molecule that they have isolated from this fungus."There are multiple subtypes of leukemia, Troso-Sandoval pointed out, including acute and chronic forms."One treatment might not work on [another] type of leukemia," she noted. Further testing is needed to determine which subtypes may contain the active molecule.The compound explored in the study had little to no effect on breast, liver or lung cancer cells, the researchers noted.This suggests that its disruptive effects only work on certain types of cells, which will be an important consideration when developing medications.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERLooking ahead, the researchers plan to test the fungus' potential in animal models and, ultimately, human trials.Gao told Fox News Digital she is "excited about what nature can create and how it can benefit our society."For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthThe study received support from the National Institutes of Health, the University of Pennsylvania, the Welch Foundation, the Houston Area Molecular Biophysics Program, the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas and the National Science Foundation.

Russia launched its biggest aerial attack overnight since the start of the war against Ukraine, a Ukrainian official said on Sunday.Moscow fired 537 aerial weapons toward Ukraine, including 477 drones and decoys and 60 missiles, according to Ukraine's air force. Among these weapons, 249 were shot down and 226 were lost, likely electronically jammed.The attack was "the most massive airstrike" against Ukraine since Russia launched its invasion in February 2022, Yuriy Ihnat, head of communications for Ukraines air force, told The Associated Press, taking into account both drones and various types of missiles.ZELENSKYY POINTEDLY THANKS TRUMP, AMERICA FOR UKRAINE SUPPORT MONTHS AFTER VANCE'S JAB ABOUT LACK OF GRATITUDESeveral regions were targeted, including western Ukraine, located far from the front line.Poland and allied countries scrambled aircraft to ensure the safety of Polish airspace, Poland's air force said.One person was killed in a drone strike in the Kherson region, according to Gov.

Shanghai is no stranger to jaw-dropping feats of engineering.In the latest example, a Shanghai historic building moved by robots is capturing global attention. The relocation of the complex in Huayang, a Shikumen-style building weighing about 7,500 metric tons (approximately 8,267 U.S. tons) and covering roughly 43,400 square feet, is truly rewriting the rules.This ambitious project is powered by an army of 432 small robots that are moving the massive structure about 33 feet each day to make way for a new underground development. Let's dive into how this is happening, why it matters and what it means for the future of urban preservation.Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox.

Located in the heart of Shanghai's historic Zhangyuan area, these structures are classic examples of shikumen architecture, which is a unique blend of Western and Chinese design. Zhangyuan itself is over 140 years old and is one of Shanghai's largest and best-preserved shikumen neighborhoods.DELIVERY ROBOT AUTONOMOUSLY LIFTS AND TRANSPORTS HEAVY CARGOThe relocation is not just for show. The city is building a three-story underground center beneath the complex that will include over 570,000 square feet of cultural and commercial space, a parking garage with more than 100 spots and a transportation hub that will connect three major subway lines. By preserving the historic Huayanli complex above ground while adding modern infrastructure below, Shanghai is finding a smart balance between honoring its heritage and embracing progress.BUILDING-IN-A-BOX TRANSFORMS INTO A PORTABLE TINY HOME IN MINUTESMoving a building of this size is tough enough, but the challenge is multiplied by Zhangyuan's dense web of narrow alleys and closely packed historic buildings. Traditional relocation methods simply would not fit. The area's historic significance also means that any mistake could damage irreplaceable architecture, including the 1928 "great hall" that once housed a patriotic night school.SOLAR-POWERED ROOF WRAPS NEW MEGA MODERN OPERA HOUSEInstead of using cranes or bulldozers, engineers put 432 small walking robots to work. These robots gently lift the building and slowly move it forward, inch by inch, covering about 33 feet each day. To achieve this incredible level of precision, the project relies on several advanced technologies. Special low-clearance drilling robots, which can be operated remotely, navigate tight corridors and doorways to create new foundations beneath the historic structure.Earth-moving robots equipped with folding mechanical arms, just under four feet wide, use artificial intelligence to tell the difference between clay and solid obstacles. Engineers also use building information modeling and point cloud scanning to create highly detailed 3D blueprints. These digital models help the team plan exact movement routes, avoid potential collisions and design curved paths for removing soil.To keep the construction site efficient and minimize disruption, soil is carried out using a conveyor belt system, much like an assembly line. The move is only temporary. Once the underground construction is finished, the Huayanli complex will be carefully returned to its original spot, fully restored and preserved, now sitting atop a modern underground facility.WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?BEST EARLY AMAZON PRIME DAY 2025 DEALSWhen the project is finished, the renewed Zhangyuan will blend its above-ground historic charm with state-of-the-art underground amenities. The area will connect to nearby high-rises, shopping centers and neighborhoods, creating a vibrant and accessible urban space that honors its past while embracing the future.SUBSCRIBE TO KURTS YOUTUBE CHANNEL FOR QUICK VIDEO TIPS ON HOW TO WORK ALL OF YOUR TECH DEVICESIt is not every day that an entire historic building is made to walk across a city block, but Shanghai's Huayanli project shows that with the right technology and a bit of imagination, even the oldest neighborhoods can be part of tomorrow's cityscape. This combination of preservation and innovation offers a fascinating glimpse into how cities can grow without losing their soul. Who would have thought that robots could become the unsung heroes of heritage?If robots can move entire historic neighborhoods to make way for modern development, how far should we go in reshaping our cities, and what parts of our past are truly worth preserving?

Many people are wondering how Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old socialist Muslim who wants to defund the police, globalize the intifada, and destroy capitalism, has emerged as the Democratic Party's nominee for New York City mayor, with leaders like former President Bill Clinton fawning over him.To understand Mamdanis political ascent, you have to trace the red-green-blue spiders web that brought him here. This isnt a complete map I've written a book, "Woke Army: The Red-Green Alliance That Is Undermining Americas Freedom," to document that story but it is a snapshot of key turning points over two decades of strategy, narrative manipulation, and activist training.CITY-RUN GROCERY STORES, DEFUNDING POLICE, SAFE INJECTION SITES: WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT NYC'S NEXT POTENTIAL MAYORA critical moment traces back to a Friday night in 2008, according to investigative reporting Ive done at the Pearl Project, a nonprofit journalism initiative. It reveals how socialists (red) and Muslims (green) seized the Democratic Party (blue) over a long 20-year campaign. At 9:28 p.m. on Dec. 12, 2008, former ACLU civil rights lawyer Ann Beeson sentan email to former Clinton administration senior advisor John Podesta."Hi John," she began.Beeson was executive director of U.S. Programs at George Soros Open Society Foundation, where shesaid she oversaw $150 million in annual grants to "promote human rights, social justice and accountability nationwide."In her email, publicly discussed here for the first time, Beeson wrote, "Im writing to follow up on one topic we discussed what the incoming Administration could do to address domestic national security policies and practices that unfairly target Muslim, South Asian, and Arab communities in America."She attached a memo from Farhana Khera, then executive director ofMuslim Advocates, a group based in San Francisco, and Aziz Huq, then the director of the "liberty and national security project" at theWilliam J. Brennan Center for Justice, both Open Society "grantees."As a former Wall Street Journal reporter who has investigated the convergence of radical leftist politics and Muslim political activism for decades, I have followed a paper trail of tax returns, grant lists and confidential memos, and this email represented the culmination of a decades-long ideological drive that began with Muslim international students arriving in the U.S. in the 1960s, not just to study, as my father did at Rutgers University, but to lay the institutional groundwork for political Islam, or Islamism, in the United States. By the 1980s, they had established a strategic base at 500 Grove Street in Herndon, Va.,later investigated by the FBI for alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, both groups seeking to destroy Israel and America and build a global caliphate.The transformation accelerated after December 2005, when Muslim governments convened at an"Extraordinary Islamic Summit" of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. There, they launched a campaign to weaponize the term "Islamophobia" to silence critics of extremist Islam. American Muslim leaders seized the moment to re-engineer the national security narrative, using American philanthropic networks, like the House of Soros, as a Trojan horse to racialize Islam, frame Muslims as the "oppressed" and embed illiberal ideologies within Americas liberal institutions, including the Democratic Party.DEM SOCIALIST'S NYC PRIMARY UPSET SIGNALS 'GENERATIONAL' SHIFT IN DEMOCRATIC PARTY, STRATEGISTS SAYBy January 2008, with Soros pumping money into Barack Obamas presidential campaign, his philanthropy stafflaunched a "National Security and Human Rights Campaign" with D.C.-based Atlantic Philanthropies, committing at least $20 million to "dismantle" Bush-era counterterrorism policies. One grantee, the Proteus Fund, based in Waltham, Mass.,ballooned in revenue from $9.5 million in 2008 to $73 million in 2023. Soros dollars flowed to groups including Muslim Advocates, the Brennan Center, the ACLU and many others who set their sights on targets, including theNew York Police Department. Today, Mamdani says he wants to"defund the police."A Pearl Project analysis of 38 documents detailing the operations and funding of the National Security and Human Rights Campaign revealed the coordinated efforts of progressive and Islamist activists to reframe post-9/11 narratives. The aim: clear the path for red-green candidates like Mamdani.Muslim Advocatesgrew nearly 10-fold, from $76,331.03 in annual revenues in 2005 to $992,892 in 2023. The Brennan Centers revenueexploded from $6.6 million to $57.9 million during the same period.Soros soon funded a new"Security and Rights Collaborative" at Proteus Fund to "restore civil liberties and human rights lost in the name of the war on terror." Headquartered in a onestory building off Research Drive in Amherst, Mass., the new "collaborative" was run by Shireen Zaman, a Muslim activist previously at the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding, a Washington, D.C., group tied to the Muslim Brotherhood. Their focus: Americas "Muslim, Arab and South Asian community," called "MASA." Zamannow works at the Ford Foundation.Their strategy went beyond policy to narrative warfare.Starting in late 2008, Soros pumped some $20 million into a "fieldwide communications hub" to arm Muslim groups and leftist media allies with messaging tools. The recipient:ReThink Media, a nonprofit in Berkeley, Calif., co-founded by "progressive" political operatives Peter Ferenbach and Lynn Fahselt, then a consultant to Democratic donors, including Open Society, Proteus Fund, Ploughshares Fund, Carnegie Corporation, Piper Fund, Atlantic Philanthropies, and others "progressive" donors that have since pumped money into ReThink Media.ReThink Media became the loudspeaker for the red and the green. Last year, Proteus Fundpaid ReThink Media $643,000 as a "communications consultant." Soros also backed Media Matters, run by ex-conservative-turned-Democrat David Brock, to shape media narratives about Muslims attacked by Republicans.Over the years, ReThink Media has hired and trained alumni of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, including staffers Zainab Chaudary and Corey Saylor, to promote an "echo chamber" for liberal groups. One narrative: Muslims were under attack in the West, and the Democratic Party would defend Muslims.This storyline took hold in the post-Obama political landscape.In late 2010, Open Society staffers in Beesons U.S. Programs division distributed aninternal memo, "Extreme Polarization and Breakdown in Civic Discourse," announcing they were giving Podestas Center for American Progress $200,000 for a new "Examining Anti-Muslim Bigotry Project" that would "document structures underlying the Islamophobia movement."The memo detailed plans to do "opposition research" on groups like the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and the Middle East Forum, which track Islamic extremism.The project description noted that "progressives were caught off guard" earlier that year when New York City residents opposed the building of a "Ground Zero mosque" near the site of the former World Trade Center."Progressives" were in "urgent need of high-quality opposition research so that they can switch from playing defense to develop a proactive strategic plan to counter anti-Muslim xenophobia and to promote tolerance," protecting "progressive counter-terrorism policies," they wrote.In another part of the memo, the authors detailed that Open Society was providing a "seed grant" to "New York Neighbors," a group that had hosted then-Rep. Keith Ellison, a Muslim American Democrat from Minnesota, and others for a "dignified candlelight vigil" on 9/11, that "provided the press with images of a diverse group of mainstream ordinary Americans committed to tolerance."The next year, the Center for American Progress released "Fear Inc.," a report co-authored by two Pakistani American Muslims, Faiz Shakir and Wajahat Ali, smearing national security experts as "Islamophobes" and portraying criticism of Islamist extremism as bigotry. Al Jazeera heavily promoted the report. Shakir later became presidential campaign manager to Democratic Socialists of America Sen. Bernie Sanders and co-founder of Justice Democrats, a Democratic socialist group that Sanders established, later propelling Muslim politicians Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar into Congress and now supporting Mamdani.In 2016, as a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, Palestinian American activist Linda Sarsour stepped forward as a surrogate for Sanders. As Trump won the Republican nomination, Iranian-American eBay founder Pierre Omidyar and his wife Pamfunneled $500,000 through Democracy Fund Voice, a political arm of Democracy Fund Inc., into ReThink Medias "Security and Rights Collaborative" to "respond to escalations of anti-Muslim bigotry." The fund hires Arabella Advisors, which Atlantic magazinedescribed as the "Lefts Dark-Money Manager, giving it $678,750 in consulting fees at last count.In Brooklyn, Sarsour rose to lead Democratic "resistance" to then-presidential candidate Donald Trump.SAhe was heralded by the New York Times as a "Brooklyn homegirl in hijab," the headscarf Muslim women sometimes wear to protect their "honor," according to fundamentalist interpretations of Islam.Sarsour launchedMPower Change under the umbrella of another big-money Democratic-aligned donor, NEO Philanthropy Inc., to advance "Muslim Power." She hired Yasmine Taeb, the "first Muslim woman elected to the National Democratic Party," according to herofficial bio, and got at least $260,000 in seed money, some of it from the House of Soross Proteus Fund.Curiously, Open Society now backed PR campaigns by the Council on American-Islamic Relations, once named an unindicted co-conspirator in a trial, U.S. vs. Holy Land Trust, that convicted five Muslim men from the network at 500 Grove Street for terrorism financing. They gave $140,000 for its California chapter for "community safety workshops," $73,610 to its Texas chapter for a "Report Hate" campaign and at least $376,010 for "safety workshops" and PR.In Canada, Nakita Valerio, a writer at the Alberta Muslim Public Affairs Council, wrote about "implicit Islamophobia," tapping "research on implicit bias" compiled by the Open Society Foundations. These ideas, shaped through critical race theory, merged with the narrative-building efforts of Soros-backed groups to portray Muslims as perpetual victims.By 2017, with Trump in office, past and present grantees of the National Security and Human Rights Campaign escalatedanti-Trump protests. ReThink Media issued messaging like "#NoBanNoWall" that the Council on American-Islamic Relation, Muslim Advocates, Sarsour and others echoed. The Brennan Center tweeted: "#MuslimBan tarnishes American image as land of optimism & opportunity."Groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations and MPower Change circulated amicus briefs, petitions and social media campaigns like #RegisterMeFirst to stoke fears of a fictional Muslim registry.At the street level, the new red-blue-green alliance built up steam, with Sarsour and a cast of political operatives embedding themselves in racial "justice protests," chanting "From Ferguson to Gaza."This alliance isnt just policy and politics. It is street-level activism. According to our research at the Pearl Project, groups like Emgage, the Council on American-Islamic Relations and others that received Soros money teamed up with the Democratic Socialists of America, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, CodePink and Democratic Party operatives, including Indivisible, MoveOn.org and others, to flood American politics with anti-Israel protests.With Trumps 2024 win, they have pivoted in an alliance of red-blue-and-green to also protest Trump, billionaire Elon Musk and Musks electric vehicle company, Tesla.At a June 14 #NoKings protest, teachers union president Randi Weingarten railed against Trump on center stage as red-blue-green protesters in the crowd chanted to "globalize the intifada," wearing t-shirts for the Democratic Socialists of America, emblazoned with their jingle: "SOCIALISM BEATS FASCISM."On June 22, Muslim Advocates shared a social media post from The Peoples Forum, a self-declared Marxist 501(c)(3) nonprofit in New York City that promotes the propaganda of the Chinese Communist Party, this time celebrating Columbnia University anti-Israel protest leader Mahmoud Khalils release from detention.This year, the Council on American-Islamic Relations directly contributed to Mamdanis political rise through a new political action committee the Justice and Peace Fund quietlygiving him $100,000, helping legitimize his platform within a national strategy to embed red-green candidates into the Democratic mainstream.This isnt incidental. Its coordinated.Through two decades of funding strategy, narrative manipulation and activist training, the red-green alliance with a vital blue thread has redefined the Democratic Party. It doesnt merely tolerate the red-green alliance. It foments it.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThe receipts, nonprofits and political candidates like Mamdani are only the beginning.

Shakir, co-author of Fear Inc.,shared Sanders message "Lets elect Zohran the next mayor of New York." After Mamdanis win, Shakir posted amessage: "Fight oligarchy." On cue, his Fear Inc. co-author Aliscolded "some in the Democratic establishment" for allegedly leveling "Islamophobic smears against Mamdani."Sarsour, who once led the Womens March and launched MPower Change, campaigned for Mamdani. Sheappeared on the Qatar-funded Al Jazeera TV station to crow: "It was us New Yorkers New York Democrats that demonstrated what the Democratic Party truly needs."This isnt a fluke.
