Sawmills are working to recycle trees blown down by Hurricane Helene to assist wildland firefighters while boosting domestic timber production.Many of the trees downed by the storm are usable, according to Johnny Evans, owner of Evens Lumber Co. in Manchester, Tennessee. About 6% of the lumber produced at his facility comes from trees that fell during natural disasters."It's a resource that God gave us, and we need to recycle it instead of letting it rot into the ground," Evans said. "If we don't get those dead trees out of the forest, then you're going to have a forest fire.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino stated Wednesday evening that the bureau is examining issues related to the origin of COVID-19, though he did not confirm the existence of a formal investigation into a cover-up.Bongino made the remarks in a post on X amid growing media attention on a newly identified COVID-19 strain."As we read and process reports of a new COVID strain emerging, I want you to know that we are actively investigating, in multiple field offices, the cover-up of the origin of the COVID virus, along with associated matters requiring our attention," Bongino wrote. "The American people deserve answers."FBI DEPUTY DIRECTOR BONGINO: ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIMINALS AND CHILD PREDATORS ARE NEXT IN ONGOING CRACKDOWNHe did not identify specific individuals or entities under scrutiny. The FBI has not issued an official news release on the matter, and the scope of the review remains unclear.The FBI did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.Bonginos comment represents one of the most direct public statements by a senior FBI official regarding the agencys continued interest in the pandemics origin and the surrounding circumstances.In 2023, then-FBI Director Christopher Wray said the agency assessed with moderate confidence that COVID-19 most likely originated from a lab incident in Wuhan, China. Chinese authorities have consistently denied such claims, calling them politically motivated and unsubstantiated.FBI DEPUTY DIRECTOR DAN BONGINO: JAMES COMEY 'BROUGHT SHAME TO THE FBI AGAIN' WITH '86 47' POSTBonginos post follows the detection of a new COVID-19 variant, provisionally identified by researchers as NB.1.8.1, which has appeared in several U.S. states.

Senior State Department officials tell Fox News all visa holders associated with Harvard University are being scrutinized, not just student visa holders.Along with student visas, the State Department will be conducting a substantive investigation into B-1, or business visas; B-2, or tourist visas; as well as others, officials said.The investigation is aimed at identifying potential security vulnerabilities or other abuses of the visa system.The probe could impact hundreds of people associated with the elite school and could reveal if people entering with claimed connections truly have real connections or more tenuous connections.TRUMP ADMIN ASKING FEDERAL AGENCIES TO CANCEL REMAINING HARVARD CONTRACTSFox News Digital learned earlier in the day that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is eliminating the student visa program at Harvard University due to "pro-terrorist conduct" at campus protests.The move is a severe consequence in response to what the DHS claims is Harvards refusal to comply with its requests for behavioral records of student visa holders."This administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus," DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said. "It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enroll foreign students and benefit from their higher tuition payments to help pad their multibillion-dollar endowments. Harvard had plenty of opportunity to do the right thing. It refused. They have lost their Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification as a result of their failure to adhere to the law. Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country."TRUMP ACCUSES HARVARD OF BEING 'VERY SLOW' TO TURN OVER FOREIGN STUDENT INFOHarvard may no longer enroll foreign students in the 2025-2026 school year, and existing foreign students must transfer or lose their legal status to reside in the U.S. before the next academic year begins."As a result of your brazen refusal to comply with multiple requests to provide the Department of Homeland Security pertinent information while perpetuating an unsafe campus environment that is hostile to Jewish students, promotes pro-Hamas rhetoric, and employs racist diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, you have lost this privilege," Noem wrote in a letter to Maureen Martin, the universitys director of immigration services.Noem offered Harvard 72 hours to provide the information requested for an opportunity to regain its visa program for the next school year.HARVARD SUES TRUMP ADMINISTRATION OVER TERMINATION OF STUDENT VISA PROGRAMShe called the move the "direct result of Harvards epic failure to comply with simple reporting requirements."Harvard, meanwhile, asserted the termination was "unlawful."Last month, Harvard announced it would allow foreign students to accept admission to both Harvard and a foreign university as backup amid the Trump administrations threats to move to block Harvards authorization to host them. Typically, students must accept enrollment at Harvard by May 1 and cant commit to another university.At least a dozen Harvard students have had their authorization to study in the U.S. revoked over campus protest activity.The Trump administration has already frozen close to $3 billion in federal funding to the university, largely dedicated to research, and launched investigations across the departments of Justice, Education and Health and Human Services. They claim that Harvard has failed to address campus antisemitism and eradicate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in its policies.Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Wednesday the U.S. will begin "aggressively" revoking visas of Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields.He also told Congress this week that the State Department had probably revoked "thousands" of student visas by this point and would "proudly" revoke more."We're going to continue to revoke the visas of people who are here as guests and are disrupting our higher education facilities," he said Tuesday. "A visa is a privilege, not a right."The crackdown on university policies comes after a wave of pro-Gaza student protests and encampments swept schools across the nation since the beginning of Israels offensive campaign to eradicate Hamas after the Oct. 7 attacks to pressure university administrations to divest from Israel.Fox News Digitals Morgan Phillips contributed to this report.

Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello had some choice words for President Donald Trump at a concert on Sunday.Rolling Stone reported that during his performance at the Boston Calling Music Festival, the famous musician unloaded on Trump in response to the presidents recent spat with classic rock legend Bruce Springsteen."Bruce is going after Trump because Bruce, his whole life, hes been about truth, justice, democracy, equality," Morello said onstage, adding, "And Trump is mad at him because Bruce draws a bigger audience. F---that guy."FLASHBACK: BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN ENDORSES KAMALA HARRISThe feud between Trump and Springsteen began nearly two weeks ago when the artist accused the president of treason during a concert in Manchester, England."The mighty E Street Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock and roll in dangerous times. In my home, the America I love, the America Ive written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration," Springsteen said, drawing applause from his audience.TESLA DOXXING ATTACKS WRONGLY TARGET NONOWNERS ACROSS AMERICATwo days later, Trump slammed Springsteen in a Truth Social post, stating, "I see that Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Foreign Country to speak badly about the President of the United States. Never liked him, never liked his music, or his Radical Left Politics and, importantly, hes not a talented guy Just a pushy, obnoxious JERK, who fervently supported Crooked Joe Biden, a mentally incompetent FOOL, and our WORST EVER President, who came close to destroying our Country."The background for Morellos performance last weekend also included a giant "F--- Trump" sign surrounded by several other smaller ones featuring the same words. The background art also referred to Trump as "HATER IN CHIEF." There was also an image that appeared to have Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putins faces morphed together into one person.During his set, Morello introduced his cover of Woody Guthries song "This Land Is Your Land" with an anti-authoritarian, anti-billionaire message seemingly aimed at the commander-in-chief.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"Its a beautiful song, but they censored out all the verses that explain what the song is really about. This is a revolutionary anthem. Woody Guthrie knew that music could be an uplifting, unifying, transcendent thing; a defensive shield, and a weapon for change. Authoritarians and billionaires think this country belongs to them. Woody Guthrie knew that this land is yours," he said.The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
