Miley Cyrus has performed for some of the world's biggest audiences but for years, she quietly battled stage fright behind the scenes.In a recent interview, the pop icon revealed that a therapy called EMDR was instrumental in curbing her anxiety."Love it. Saved my life," she told The New York Times in May. "Ive never had stage fright again. Ever."SINGLE DOSE OF 'MAGIC MUSHROOMS' PROVIDES 5 YEARS OF DEPRESSION RELIEF, RESEARCHERS FINDIn another recent interview with Vogue, Cyrus said that EMDR felt like watching a movie in her mind vivid and emotional, but grounding.Cyrus isnt the only public figure to try EMDR. Prince Harry has shared in interviews that he uses the therapy to process painful memories connected to his mothers death.EMDR or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is an alternative therapy designed to help people process unresolved trauma and emotional pain."It is a powerful, research-based method that helps people heal from painful or distressing experiences that have become stuck in the brain," Dr. Kate Campbell, licensed marriage and family therapist and founder of Bayview Therapy in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, told Fox News Digital."EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, often through eye movements, tapping or sound, to help the brain reprocess those upsetting memories," added Campbell, who leads a team of EMDR professionals.She elaborated, "On a neurological level, EMDR helps shift the memory from being stored in the emotional part of the brain (the amygdala) to the more logical, rational part (the prefrontal cortex)."Once that shift happens, according to Campbell, people are often able to think about the experience without feeling overwhelmed."The emotional intensity and negative beliefs linked to it begin to fade," she said.BEACH DAYS BENEFIT MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING AS VISITS PROVIDE 'SEA THERAPY'The goal is not to forget the experience, Campbell noted, but to help the brain "understand, integrate and release it, so people can move forward with more clarity, confidence and peace.""By revisiting old fears in a safe, controlled setting and reprocessing them through bilateral stimulation, the brain can shift those memories from a place of heightened distress to emotional neutrality."The root cause of performance anxiety often stems from earlier negative experiences like an embarrassing childhood moment, fear of judgment or the pressure to be perfect which get "locked" into the nervous system, according to Campbell."Over time, these feelings can build into anxiety that shows up in high-pressure moments, like being on stage or speaking in public."EMDR is especially effective for performance anxiety because it addresses the underlying causes, not just the symptoms, the expert noted.The therapy aims to replace the negative memories and beliefs with supportive, empowering ones, Campbell said."Many people notice their bodies feeling more relaxed and their thoughts becoming clearer and calmer after just a few sessions," she noted. "That shift can open the door to greater confidence, presence and peace in performance settings."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERCampbell applauded Cyrus' openness about undergoing EMDR therapy."It helps to reduce the stigma of mental health and highlights how EMDR is not only for those with deep trauma or full-blown post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)," she said.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthCyrus' experience highlights that healing through therapy doesn't have to take years, Campbell emphasized."With the right support from expert mental health professionals, people can overcome deeply-rooted fears and make space for resilience, clarity and peace."

Nearly two decades after a Florida woman vanished from her apartment building without a trace, authorities have announced a new break that could breathe new life into a formerly cold case.Jennifer Kesse, 24, vanished from her Orlando condo complex after leaving for work on the morning of Jan. 24, 2006, stumping both state and federal investigators as authorities raced to catch her abductor."About an hour and a half into the workday, I received a call from her work," Drew Kesse, Jennifers father, told Fox News Digital. "And they said, Hey, Jennifer had a meeting this morning, its not like her to show up. Do you know where she is?"MISSING FLORIDA WOMAN JENNIFER KESSE'S FATHER HOPES FOR ANSWERS 18 YEARS AFTERKesse immediately tried to reach his daughter relying on a family rule that they would always answer each other's calls but her phone went straight to voicemail."I knew something was wrong immediately," Kesse said.Kesse and his wife, Joyce, quickly made the two-hour drive from their home in Tampa to Orlando, where they found their daughters apartment empty with several outfit choices laid out on the bed.DETECTIVES TRUE CRIME PODCAST HELPS DIG UP BREAKTHROUGH IN CASE THAT HAUNTED FAMILY: DREW AUDIBLE GASPThe parents immediately called the Orlando Police Department to report Jennifer missing."They looked around her apartment, shrugged their shoulders and said, She had a fight with her boyfriend probably, shell be back," Kesse said. "They walked out. And that was Jennifers last chance."More than a decade later, the family filed a lawsuit against the City of Orlando, OPD and the mayors office, citing a botched investigation into Kesse's disappearance and requesting documents pertaining to the search.MISSING JENNIFER KESSE'S FAMILY HOLDS OUT HOPE FOR POSSIBLE DNA EVIDENCEOPD, the City of Orlando and the mayor's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digitals request for comment.The lawsuit resulted in the first successful request for records involving an ongoing case, with the city handing over 16,000 pages of materials involved in the investigation.

"A person stays in it for 32 seconds, gets out and walks away."Kesse hopes the use of artificial intelligence will lead investigators to identify the person of interest.Additionally, two witnesses previously reported seeing Jennifer and a man fighting while in the front seat of her black Chevy Malibu.

A Parisian restaurant once promised a pizza experience unlike any other. Order your pizza and, within five minutes, a robot would craft your pie from scratch, no human hands required. This was the vision of Pazzi Robotics, a French startup that merged advanced automation with Italian culinary tradition.For a time, the company seemed poised to redefine how people view pizza. However, after nine years of innovation and effort, Pazzi closed its doors in 2022. This outcome raises a pressing question: Did Pazzi fail because it was ahead of its time, and should pizza-making robots be given another chance?Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox.

IS YOUR CITY NEXT?Pazzi Robotics was not just another food tech company. The team secured five patents and worked with world-champion pizza chef Thierry Graffagnino to perfect their recipes. They received over 3,000 requests from around the world. Their robot could knead dough, spread sauce, add toppings, bake, slice and box a pizza without any human help. The technology impressed many, and CEO Philippe Goldman even earned the title of "Most Innovative CEO of the Fast-food Industry." Despite these achievements, Pazzi was unable to find a buyer and had to shut down.GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HEREGoldman shared his thoughts on LinkedIn after the company's closure. He expressed sadness and frustration, noting that Pazzi had reached many of its goals and built strong partnerships. He also reflected on the challenges. According to Goldman, hardware startups require significant time and money to succeed. He found that the robotics ecosystem in France was not mature enough to support such a venture. He also realized that running a tech company and a restaurant simultaneously posed unique challenges. The two industries have different cultures, customer expectations and business models.Goldman admitted he did not use his board enough to address tough issues and was slow to build a strong executive team. He emphasized the importance of hiring the right people from the start and acting quickly when someone is not a good fit. Despite the disappointment, Goldman remains proud of what Pazzi achieved and believes it paved the way for future innovators.The story of Pazzi raises another question: Did its French roots contribute to its struggles? Would the company have found more success in Italy, where pizza is a national treasure? Goldman pointed out that French culture tends to be wary of robotics, especially in the food industry.He also noted that public and institutional funding for hardware projects is limited in France. Perhaps an Italian launch would have given Pazzi's robots more authenticity and acceptance. Or perhaps the world was simply not ready for robot-made pizza, regardless of where it originated.WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?Pazzi's cutting-edge system relied on a blend of robotics, artificial intelligence and machine vision. It could operate 24/7, producing a pizza in under five minutes. Furthermore, advanced AI monitored ingredient levels, tracked order flow and optimized workflow for peak efficiency. This reduced downtime and minimized waste. However, as with many automation technologies, some critics worried robot-made pizza could take away jobs traditionally held by people in the restaurant industry.Although Pazzi is gone, the need for automation in food service continues to grow. The technology worked. Customers enjoyed fast, consistent, high-quality pizza with almost no human involvement. Labor shortages and rising costs still challenge the restaurant industry.The demand for efficient solutions will only increase. So, should pizza-making robots get another chance? Perhaps the next attempt will take place in Italy or a market more receptive to food technology. Or perhaps some traditions, such as pizza-making, are not yet ready for a robotic revolution.Sometimes it's about timing in life. I'd wager that if this pizza robot tech launched today, it would bake its way into AI success. Pazzi Robotics may be gone, but its bold vision lives on. Its story is a lesson in innovation, timing and the challenges of changing how we eat. The question isnt whether robots can make great pizza; they can. The real question is whether were ready to let them.Would you try a pizza made entirely by a robot? Do you think the Pazzi pizza robot should be given a second chance?

Corey Feldman says that his faith in God has protected him and has helped him maintain a "positive attitude" towards his life and career, despite claiming to have seen the darker and seedier side of the entertainment world.Feldman, who starred in beloved '80s classics like "The Goonies," "Stand By Me," and "The Burbs," spoke to Fox News Digital about how his faith has given him the strength to endure during his 50-year career in Hollywood. In that time, he experienced some of the industrys nastier sides."You know what I've learned is that God is good. God is my protector, God keeps me strong," Feldman told Fox News Digital.COREY FELDMAN SLAMS DIDDY AMID SEX TRAFFICKING PROBE, VOWS TO FIGHT SEXUAL ABUSE IN HOLLYWOODThe actor and musician recently marked the 50th anniversary of his time in entertainment, a time he said he looks back on both with gratitude and positivity, while also acknowledging the trauma and abuse he says he and his famous friends suffered at the hands of predatory people.A longtime whistleblower on sexual abuse in Hollywood, his 2013 book "Coreyography" detailed rampant child sexual abuse that happened to him and others during his career. It recounted how he was thrust into a harsh business without strong family support. According to Feldman, he had a depressed, drug-addicted Playboy model mom, and a musician father who routinely encouraged his young son to get high with him.Feldman has often recounted how he got sucked into drug addiction for two years while he was a teen actor and has claimed that he and his childhood friend and fellow actor, the late Corey Haim, were molested by powerful men in the industry.In the years since, Feldman has championed industry change so that child actors are protected from similar abuse.WATCH ON FOX NATION: WHAT DIDDY DO?When asked if he believes Hollywood still retains that undercurrent of darkness that he says he was victimized by decades earlier, he replied, "Absolutely."He said, "Wherever there's power, there's corruption. We know this, right? Wherever there is power, there's corruption, and wherever there's corruption, there is darkness. Wherever there is darkness, there was light. So, it's always about being aware of what's going on, trying our best to be aware and trying to put out those fires as we see them."Feldman only briefly touched on his Hollywood troubles while speaking with Fox. "You know, obviously, yes, I've said some things about Hollywood because some bad things did happen to me, did happen to my best friend in Hollywood. But that said, there are also a lot of beautiful people in Hollywood that know nothing of it."1980s CHILD STAR TALKS 'GOONIES' SEQUEL, MUSIC CAREER, AND WHY AI THREATENS HOLLYWOOD'S MAGICThe actor noted how much heat he has taken and still takes for having come forward with his allegations of child abuse in the industry."That's what makes secret societies secret societies, right? They hide in the shadows, and then they gaslight people who try to expose them. So that's what happened to me. I've dealt with tons of blowback because I came forward tons of abuse."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREThough Feldman said that he can "always" feel the pressure of these negative forces trying to derail him, he mentioned how he has learned that God will protect him through it all."So as long as you have faith in that, and you keep bringing your best foot forward, and a smile on your face, and a positive attitude, I believe we can get past all of those things. And I believe that good always wins over evil and that's just the way it is."Elsewhere, he told Fox that despite his suffering and dark past, his life "is good" today."As a producer, I feel quite satisfied. As an artist, I feel pretty satisfied. I have a girlfriend who's lovely. I have a child who's doing great. He's 20 years old and fully grown. I think I've made a pretty decent life for myself, and I plan on continuing that," he said."My life is good. I'm grateful to God for giving me this opportunity to breathe today and have a chance to make our lives better each day. And I think we should all remain grateful and remember to be grateful to God because that, I think, is the key to happiness above all other things."

As a sex symbol, Jenilee Harrison wasnt keen on stripping down.The actress, who replaced Suzanne Somers on "Threes Company," posed for the June 1987 issue of Playboy. While she was ready for her close-up, Harrison was determined to appear in the Hugh Hefner-led magazine on her terms.Harrison, 67, is the co-host of a new podcast, "Stall Talk," where women of various ages, "from the boomer to Gen Z," share unfiltered stories and wisdom from personal experiences.SUZANNE SOMERS' WIDOWER FINDS ROMANCE WITH LATE WIFE'S 'HOLLYWOOD WIVES' COSTAR"It was in my contract that, yes, Ill do [Playboy], but I have to keep my clothes on," Harrison told Fox News Digital."So I show up for this photo shoot in the Playboy building in Beverly Hills, and I go into the charging room to do my makeup and all that," Harrison recalled. "And the photographer a very famous photographer comes in. He goes, Youre all ready to go? And I said, Well, yeah, wheres my wardrobe? And he looked shocked. Hes like, Your wardrobe? No, were doing Playboy. And I said, No, my contract says Im wearing clothes. He was just shocked."So everything stopped," Harrison continued. "He had to get back on the phone. They had to regroup and bring in wardrobe He didnt even know. But I had to fight for that."Harrison became part of a small group of pinups who appeared in Playboy without going nude, including Dolly Parton and Barbra Streisand, among others.The self-proclaimed tomboy admitted she struggled with being depicted as a sex symbol in front of cameras. She wanted to be recognized for her hard work in showbiz, not just for her beauty."I looked at being a sex symbol as just a wardrobe I had to put on to go into Hollywood and do this job," she explained.THREES COMPANY' ACTRESS SAYS SHE POSED FOR PLAYBOY ON HER OWN TERMS"Your wardrobe is your outside, but its not what your core person is, what your soul is. But I had a large wardrobe because your wardrobe is the tool of the trade. I would say at 10 oclock I had to be a nurse. At 12 oclock, I had to be a secretary. At 3 oclock, I had to be a Sports Illustrated model. At 5 oclock, I had to be a hooker. And at 8 oclock I had to be a nun. I had to be all those things. But was I uncomfortable? Absolutely, many times I was uncomfortable."Harrison clarified that she felt "blessed" to appear in Playboy without baring everything. Its been one of many surprising moments for her in Hollywood."When I was very young like 19 years old my agent called me and said, They want to see you theyre replacing Suzanne Somers on Threes Company," said Harrison. "I thought, Oh geez, why am I even going to the interview? Im not going to get a role like that.'"In 1980, after starring in four seasons of the hit sitcom, Somers asked for a raise, which she said was equal to what her co-star, John Ritter, was getting paid. The actress was quickly phased out of the show and then fired.By then, Harrison, a former Rams cheerleader, had already appeared in commercials, as well as an episode in "CHiPs." It only took her one interview to secure the role of Somers on-screen cousin, Cindy Snow."When I showed up for the audition I tripped when I was walking in," said Harrison. "I fell over things and grabbed something or whatever. They instantly thought, Oh, heres our klutzy cousin girl How lucky I was."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERHarrison insisted she wasnt fazed that she had big shoes to fill."I just live very much in the present," said Harrison. "Luckily, Im extremely disciplined And whatever job I had, I looked at it in front of me and just did the work And when I got on Threes Company, I was welcomed with open arms. They treated me lovely. They treated me like a little sister And the girls [on set], we protected one another, and we supported one another."Harrison was eventually written out of the sitcom, but her luck didnt end there. She later appeared in the hit soap opera "Dallas.""Dallas was and is still such a joy," she beamed. "And I worked with some of the people there I remember visiting the set and Patrick [Duffy] was there with his boys. His kids started grabbing his shirt, and saying, Dad, dad, thats Jack Trippers maid! And Patricks going, What are you talking about? The boys had been watching Threes Company and they were so excited. That broke the ice."According to Harrison, the cast of "Dallas" was keen to have her join their circle. Larry Hagman, who played ruthless oil tycoon J.R. Ewing, instantly welcomed her with his sense of humor.She also saw a different side to the beloved TV villain.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS"He would not go out in public unless he had his hat on," she said, referring to his characters signature look."He had to have that cowboy hat because he said, When I go out there, the people want to see J.R.' He loved that character. And that hat was J.R. I remember one time we were all crammed in a limousine [heading] to some event. He left his hat or something, and he freaked out. We had to stop the car and everything. He said, I need my hat!'"Harrison said one of her favorite memories of Hagman was that, despite being the shows star, he made sure to stay on set as long as he was needed to ensure the other actors could shoot their scenes with ease."Larry would not go home if his lines were needed," she said. "Larry knew that the shows success was not just about him. The shows success was because of all the characters and how they interacted.""He had every right to be the number one star, leave the set and just have that air about him," she continued. "And he didnt. He was very down-to-Earth, and he worked hard with all of us. And he continued to work. His whole life hed still do autograph shows and be out in public. He never took his role, his popularity in Dallas, for granted [He taught us] not to take it for granted. It could be gone tomorrow."Today, Harrison is "living the dream" running a sprawling ranch. But when shes not tending to her animals, shes sharing stories on "Stall Talk.""It doesnt matter if youre a boomer or Gen Z, were sharing the most intimate, honest, relationship issues with ourselves, and were giggling, or were crying," said Harrison. "But were sharing those stories All of our guests just share real and honest questions about what women talk about when they go to the bathroom together.""The advice I always give [on the podcast] is go for your dreams, go for the opportunities," Harrison reflected. "You have to persevere and remember that if you persevere, anything can happen. Anything is possible."

An employee's lunch theft woes and his drastic solution recently drew attention online in a tale that other office workers may relate to or understand.In a viral post on Reddit, the employee said his workplace offers a communal kitchen with one fridge."Over the past month, my lunch has been stolen five times," the Reddit user said. "Not just random snacks. Entire homemade meals I bring from home, gone without a trace."SCAM LEAVES RESTAURANT WAITRESS STUNNED AS DINERS LAUGH IN HER FACE: 'WHY IS THIS THE NORM?'He added, "Its not just frustrating, its expensive and messes up my day."In an office group chat, the worker asked the unknown lunch thief to stop but no one took responsibility.His solution? The desk jockey bought a mini-fridge and placed it under his desk, complete with a lock "just for extra peace of mind.""Since then, no more stolen lunches," he wrote in his post.But his solution was not well-received.The Redditor reported that one of his co-workers confronted him and called the fridge "weird and selfish."MAN 'DISGUSTED' AT FOOD FROM GIRLFRIEND'S CULTURE TAKES HEAT ON SOCIAL MEDIA"She said it made me look paranoid and not part of the team," the original poster recalled. "I said I was tired of my food being stolen, and this was the only solution that worked."He added, "She said I shouldve just brought stuff I wouldnt care about losing, like snacks or microwave meals, if I was so worried."Since then, the employee has been subjected to snide remarks about locking up his lunch, he said, and he's "starting to feel like the weirdo in the office just for protecting my stuff."He asked others if he was wrong for "locking up my lunch instead of letting this keep happening?"WORKER'S UNUSUAL LUNCH SPOT BACKFIRES AFTER UNCOMFORTABLE CONFRONTATION: 'WAS I BEING DISRESPECTFUL?'Commenters on the post, which attracted over 20,000 upvotes, almost unanimously sided with the frustrated office worker."[S]ounds like [the other co-worker] is hangry now that she doesn't have free lunch," one person wrote."I'd immediately get in contact with HR about theft and bullying," a second user said."Just give the same energy back," another person advised. "They are treating it like a joke, so keep it at a joke level. Don't be serious."Others thought the story was so outrageous it had to have been fabricated."There's no way this is real lol," one person speculated."Which AI did you use to write this story?" another said.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERFox News Digital spoke with Diane Gottsman, a Texas-based etiquette expert, to determine whether the office worker overreacted to the loss of his lunches."When you work in an office and have a communal kitchen, stealing someone elses food is not only childish and sneaky, but completely disrespectful," Gottsman advised."It shows a lack of consideration," the decorum pro added. "This person attempted to bring it to everyones attention by mentioning it in a group chat, but perhaps another option would be to go directly to the supervisor to address it more formally."Gottsman, who owns the etiquette-focused Protocol School of Texas, said the office seemed to be "full of cliques and bullies.""People making comments about a small fridge under someones desk is petty," she observed."Its simply not their business, much like any other item someone would bring to the office, like a fan or a favorite lamp for their desk."For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyleGottsman added, "And, in this case, no, it was not in poor taste. They are trying to bring their lunch, purchased a small fridge they put under their desk, out of sight, and added a lock because there are strong indicators that food has been taken and it could happen again."Gottsman encouraged the office worker to keep his chin up, and that the office bullies "will move on to another office situation."She suggested, "Get with the supervisor, manager, owner of the company or HR to use your voice positively and respectfully.""Taking something from the kitchen, from a cabinet, from a shelf or anywhere else is theft whether its a sandwich, a stapler or money."

Two hundred and forty-nine years ago, 56 men met in the Pennsylvania State House in Philadelphia to commit treason against the most powerful empire on Earth.Representing 13 colonies of that empire, these men a mix of landowners, entrepreneurs, politicians and others had become enamored with a new set of ideas flowing from enlightenment thinkers and Christian teaching. Those convictions led them to start a war no sane person believed they could win.Remember what government looked like back then. We now live in the world those 56 men created a world in which even dictatorships like North Korea cloak themselves in the language of "republic."But in 1776, freedom, equality and self-governance were nascent concepts espoused by philosophers and adopted only incompletely in a few small enclaves. The vast majority of countries in the world were hereditary monarchies and empires under which equal rights and individual liberty were not contemplated. The Founders fight seemed incomprehensible.UNCANCEL THE MINUTEMEN: CELEBRATE LEXINGTON AND CONCORD HEROES, BLACK AND WHITE, ON BATTLE'S 250TH ANNIVERSARYIn launching it, the Second Continental Congress largely tasked one man Thomas Jefferson with drafting the document that would articulate their vision for humanity and this new country and reshape history.Imagine how he must have felt. Jefferson secluded himself from June 11 to June 28 in a rented home on Market Street to draft the document. He was 33 years old at the time. In isolation in that rented townhome he drafted what I think is one of the most beautiful passages in history:We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.Read it again. Read it as if you were living under a Spanish colony in South America or under the iron fist of the Qing dynasty in China. Read it as if you were a poor tenant farmer under the oppressive rule of King George in Virginia or an enslaved person in Georgia (whose freedom under the principles of the Declaration was still decades away).WHY THE MAGA MOVEMENT IS THE 1776 REVOLUTION OF OUR TIMERead it as if you grew up in a system that assumed you were worth less than your neighbor by virtue of your social station, and under which your future was limited by the circumstances of your birth.The Declaration was, in fact, a "revolutionary" statement articulating the ideological and factual basis for a coup against empire. But spiritually, it was more important than that.It was a revolution against history. It was a revolution against the idea that some men (and women) are worth more than others. It was a revolution for the idea of dignity, human rights, and equality before law.And when Jefferson submitted his document to the Congress, and those 56 men signed it and shipped it off to King George and to others rulers around the world, they ignited a war in the America colonies that would become a centuries-long war to transform the globe from tyranny to liberty.READ: THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCEWar they got. Five of the signers were captured, tortured and killed. Nine died from wounds or hardships fighting in the war. All were impacted raked by violence, their homes and property ravaged, their children thrust into the violence they created. They starved. They lost battles.They must have wondered if it was worth it these ideals that had caused them to plunge a nation into violence. And then, unexpectedly, they won.In creating America, those Founding Fathers reshaped history. Wenow live in a worldin which nearly half of countries are democracies. The combination of political freedom, free markets and the technological innovation unleashed by those systems has lifted billions of people out of poverty creating a world more than 100 times richer than the one that existed at the time of the Declaration of Independence.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThe dominant ideology now globally is the one articulated in the Declaration. And the revolution in America has become a revolution in human history.This weekend in the United States we celebrate Independence Day. We celebrate 56 men who risked everything. But we also solemnly reflect on the charge of the Declaration and its authors.All people are created equal. We are all endowed by our Creator with inalienable rights. Each of us deserves life, liberty, and the ability to pursue our own unique paths to flourishing. But those inalienable rights are not guaranteed. As our forebears, we are called to embrace and fight for them.Abraham Lincoln once noted that great men "thirst and burn for distinction" and will have it, "whether at the expense of emancipating slaves, or enslaving free men." And around the world the powers that oppose liberty, dignity and opportunity fight ceaselessly to dominate others.May we, on this Independence Day, fight back. May we have the audacity and conviction to oppose the enemies of liberty and to continue to fight for the promise of the Declaration and Americas spiritual foundation. May we do so out of love for our neighbors and for the blessings of the Creator. And may we gain courage from the example of those 56 men, their hundreds of thousands of compatriots, and the unwinnable war they won. Happy Independence Day.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM JOHN COLEMAN

TheDemocratic Party should "embrace pornography" to attract young men to their side of the aisle, a far-left author and writer argued this week."I have many thoughts on how the Democratic Party might start to win back young men who have abandoned the party for fascism," Elie Mystal, justice correspondent and a columnist for The Nation, wrote inan article published Wednesday."None of them involve abandoning womens rights, womens leadership, or the LGBTQ community," Mystal said. "But one of my suggestions is that the Democrats should embrace pornography and other examples of sexiness and smut under the umbrella of free speech."DEMOCRATS NEED TO EMBRACE MALES WITH AFFECTION, NOT POLITICAL STRATEGY, NYT COLUMNIST ARGUESMystal, who is the author of "Bad Law: Ten Popular Laws That Are Ruining America," released in March, which discusses "the flawed foundations of the rules we live by," said that pornography helps people."Now, to be clear, pornography is viewed and enjoyed by all sorts of people, male and female, gay and straight, trans and cis," Mystal wrote. "Indeed, one of the highest, best uses of porn (I cant believe I just wrote that) is that it helps young people figure out what theyre actually into. Sex-positive porn enjoyers are not a political demographic the Democrats generally have a problem with."He suggested that Democrats might have difficulty persuading straight White men that"Free Palestine" flags are included in ones right to exercise free speech, but says it will be easy to persuade men that pornography is free speech."Thats because pornography is an actual free speech issue,"Mystal wrote. "So is smut. So is obscenity. These are forms of free speech that conservatives and Republicans in the government are constantly trying to regulate."CALIFORNIA DEMS RUN ADS AGAINST GOP ON SEX TRAFFICKING BILL AFTER BLOCKING PENALTIES FOR TEEN SOLICITATIONAlso at issue in his column is his belief that age verification laws, like the Texas lawrecently upheld by the Supreme Court which reaffirmed Texas right to verify the ages of people who use pornography sites to ensure minors will not have access.The Supreme Court pointed out that about21 other states have passed similar regulations on sexual content that could be damaging to minors."Nobody was arguing that minors have a constitutional right to access porn,"Mystal said. "But adults do. Regulating adult access to porn is a point-and-one-handed-click restriction on the freedom of speech and the freedom of expression."In a reply to Mystal's post on X sharing his article, journalist Taylor Lorenz praised his take, saying, "YES PLEASE!!!!!!! Im screaming to the void about this. So grateful for your piece."Haley McNamara, Senior Vice President at the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, condemned the take from Mystal."No political party should embrace pornographyresearch shows both men and women alike are facing serious mental health challenges as a result of porn, ranging from depression and compulsive behaviors to escalating addictions and stunted sexual and social development," she told Fox News Digital. "These issues often manifest as isolation, anxiety, or difficulty forming healthy relationships. Not to mention, as exposes against Pornhub, XVideos, OnlyFans and more have shown, even mainstream porn sites are often filled with videos of sex trafficking, rape, and child sexual abuse. It is a ludicrous suggestion that any political party promotes porn on its platform."

"He was in the Greensboro office of the FBI for a good while. I believe he was the supervisory resident agent up in Greensboro, which meant he was in charge of maybe 15 or 20 agents in a pretty active office in the Bureau."Swecker added that Thomas Martens would have had plenty of experience conducting interrogations, and that would have helped him as police interrogated him in Corbetts killing."Without a doubt," Swecker said when asked if Thomas Martens professional experience would help him in an interrogation. "He knows where the interrogator is going when he asks a question and the piece of evidence or point he's trying to extract from him. It's a chess game, if you're trying to protect yourself and your daughter, for example."GET REAL-TIME UPDATES AT THE FOX NEWS TRUE CRIME HUBThe former FBI agent described Corbetts killing as "one of those cases where you wonder if you ever really get the answers, and there's only two people that will ever know, and it's Tom and his daughter."
