Bristol Palin is giving fans an update on her ongoing health struggle.During an Instagram Q&A, Palin was asked specific questions about how she is dealing with her battle with facial paralysis and what specific symptoms she felt prior to experiencing the weakness in her facial muscles."I woke up and it was paralyzed completely out of the blue no warning, wasnt sick didnt get the v@x, no recent Botox ... just paralyzed," she said in response to one question asking about what symptoms she felt.The answer was posted over a video of herself showing the difference between the left and right sides of her face, adding a timestamp of January 20, 2025.BRANDI GLANVILLE RUSHED TO HOSPITAL WHILE BATTLING MYSTERY ILLNESS THAT LEFT HER FACE DISFIGUREDThe former reality TV star was later asked how she is handling the diagnosis emotionally, to which she replied she thinks she is "handling it well," but admitted "I can't look at pictures of myself rn." Palin also shared her paralysis is "probably 70% back to normal."Other fans shared concern that the paralysis could be permanent, to which Palin replied there is a possibility, "but I don't think it will be.""It is slowly improving," she wrote in her response. "My doctor thinks it will be another 3 months before I'm *hopefully* back to normal."Palin first announced she was experiencing sudden facial paralysis on her Instagram stories in January. In the story, she recalled waking up one morning "with a little weird sensation in my face," and after only a few hours, "the entire left side of my face was numb and just paralyzed."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING?

One of the possible causes could be "a case of Bells palsy," which doctors noted could have been brought on by stress or lack of sleep.Bell's palsy is a condition that causes "sudden weakness in the muscles on one side of the face," according to the Mayo Clinic. The weakness is typically short-term, and the exact cause is unknown.A few months after sharing her struggles with facial paralysis, Palin took to social media in April 2025 to share that she was one year sober."365 days without alcohol.. *which sounds dramatic because I've never been a big drinker," she wrote on her Instagram story, per the Daily Mail.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"But this year of having a completely sober mind has allowed me to reevaluate a lot," she continued.

Atlanta Braves superstar Ronald Acuna Jr. uncorked the potential throw of the year during the teams 7-3 win over the New York Yankees on Friday night at Truist Park.The Braves were up 3-0 in the top of the third inning with runners on first and second with one out. The Yankees Cody Bellinger was up to bat as the tying run.Bellinger hooked Braves starting pitcher Spencer Striders slider down the right field line with a sky-high fly ball. Acuna caught the fly ball a step off the warning track.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe runner on second base, Jorbit Vivas, tagged up and went to third base. As Acuna caught the ball, he turned and fired a rocket to third base off his back foot.Acunas laser beam of a throw never hit the ground, and he nabbed an unsuspecting Vivas for the final out of the inning at third base.Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Vivas was "deked" out by the Braves third baseman, Nacho Alvarez Jr., who made it seem like no throw was coming in until he caught the ball and tagged Vivas out in one swift motion.Vivas never slid and looked thoroughly confused after being tagged out.PHILLIES GET INTO THE COLDPLAY 'MAGIC' WITH CEO ROMANCE CONTROVERSY IN JUMBOTRON BIT"That just can't happen. I did that all my career at third base. Just kind of play dumb, play dead. And that's what (Vivas) read. The body language of Alvarez there, just deked him. He knew it was a deep fly ball, so it caught up to him. . . It's a lesson that that can't happen on a baseball field, especially in that situation," Boone said.The play was especially costly for the Yankees, because Aaron Judge was looming on deck and with one swing of the bat, he could have tied the game 3-3."His accuracy is stupid," Braves manager Brian Snitker said of Acunas throw."He's a weapon in right field. His arm is so strong and accurate, and the ball carries, release is good. He's special out there."Acuna said that his throw came out of anticipation."I just always try to anticipate those plays," Acuna said through an interpreter. That's really what I always try to focus on, anticipating the play before it happens. I really wasn't trying to do anything besides that. Thankfully, I have a good arm."The Braves (43-53) will look to build on Fridays win when they take on the Yankees (53-44) in the second game of their three-game series on Saturday at 7:15 p.m. ET.The Associated Press contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Many companies now rely on AI to handle parts of the hiring process. Bots screen resumes, filter candidates, and manage preliminary communication before a human steps in. McDonald's utilizes an AI-powered hiring platform called McHire, which is powered by Paradox.ai's chatbot, Olivia, to streamline its recruitment process.While AI brings convenience, it also comes with data privacy risks. This became clear when two security researchers responsibly disclosed a critical vulnerability that exposed a small number of candidate records, despite some early reports suggesting a much larger breach.Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts, and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox.

Using weak, outdated credentials, they accessed a testing portal and discovered an unauthenticated API endpoint tied to chat interaction records.They retrieved seven chat logs, five of which included U.S.-based candidate information such as:The remaining two records did not include any personal data. Notably, no full job applications, Social Security numbers, or financial information were exposed, and sensitive fields remained protected.Paradox.ai responded swiftly, disabling the test account immediately and patching the exposed endpoint within hours of notification. In a public statement, the company confirmed that only five candidate records containing personal information were accessed, and only by the two researchers who ethically disclosed the issue.The company claims the incident impacted only one Paradox client, believed to be McDonald's, and no other Paradox.ai clients or systems were affected. There is no evidence of malicious access or that any data was ever leaked or made publicly available. The company went on to say that,"We are confident that, based on our records, this test account was not accessed by any third party other than the security researchers."WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?Paradox.ai admitted the test account, set up before 2019, should have been decommissioned, and that legacy credentials no longer met current password standards. In response to the incident, the company has:In response, McDonald's issued a statement:"We're disappointed by this unacceptable vulnerability from a third-party provider, Paradox.ai. As soon as we learned of the issue, we mandated Paradox.ai to remediate the issue immediately, and it was resolved on the same day it was reported to us. We take our commitment to cyber security seriously and will continue to hold our third-party providers accountable to meeting our standards of data protection."Early reports suggested that the vulnerability could have exposed up to 64 million job applications. However, researchers never confirmed this number and Paradox.ai's investigation did not find any indication that large-scale data scraping occurred. The only records accessed were the seven chat samples pulled by the researchers to verify the issue.We reached out to Paradox.ai, and a rep told us:"Our public post should serve as Paradox's official statement. It provides context, as well as some clarification of inaccuracies published in other media." Consistent with their statement, Paradox.ai emphasized that only five candidate records containing personal information were accessed by the security researchers, and there is no evidence of a mass breach or any data being made public.While the underlying vulnerability was real, only a very limited scope of data was actually accessed, thanks to the actions of the researchers and the vendor's rapid response.While the researchers accessed personal information in five records, there is no evidence that attackers ever exploited this data.

At least 34 people are dead after a sudden thunderstorm caused a tourist boat to capsize in Vietnam on Saturday, according to local reports.The vessel, named Wonder Seas,was carrying 48 passengers and five crew members during a sightseeing excursion of Ha Long Bay, a popular destination for visitors, according to reports cited by The Associated Press.Rescue workers saved 11 people and recovered the dead near the site of the capsizing, VNExpress newspaper said. Search teams are frantically looking for the missing victims of the disaster.AT LEAST 2 DEAD, 43 MISSING AFTER FERRY SINKS NEAR BALIVideo footage shows two exasperated survivors being rescued on a smaller boat as choppy waters rock the vessel from side to side, illustrating the rough conditions at sea.Footage also shows several people standing on the hull of the capsized Wonder Sea boat waiting to be rescued.The boat turned upside down because of strong winds, the newspaper said. A 14-year-old boy was among the survivors, and he was rescued four hours after being trapped in the overturned hull."Even though the ship overturned and the passenger compartment was locked, there was still a gap of about 50-60 cm [20 to 24 inches], enough for oxygen to enter so the baby was still alive," Bui Cong Hoan, deputy branch of the Ha Long Cruise Ship Association, told VNExpress."Rescuers then broke the window and put the victim in a rescue boat."Hospital director Le Ngoc Dung said that a 10-year-old boy was also among those saved and is currently in a stable condition at Bai Chay Hospital, according to the outlet.HUMAN REMAINS FOUND IN SUNKEN BOAT BRING CLOSURE TO TEXAS FAMILY'S ALASKA TRAGEDYA group of 15 divers went into the sea to search for victims and survivors.An eyewitness told AFP news agency that the sky darkened around 2 p.m. local time on Saturday.There were "hailstones as big as toes with torrential rain, thunderstorm and lightning", he said, per the BBC.It does not appear that any Americans were on board.

Never before in American history has a departing president connived to sabotage and destroy the man who would replace him.Newly revealed documents show that in 2016 then-President Barack Obama and his national security team "manufactured and politicized" phony intelligence to help frame Donald Trump as a Russian asset when they knew it was untrue. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard who unearthed and released the declassified documents on Friday described it as an "egregious abuse of power" that amounts to a "treasonous conspiracy."OBAMA OFFICIALS USED DOSSIER TO PROBE, BRIEF TRUMP DESPITE KNOWING IT WAS UNVERIFIED 'INTERNET RUMOR'Treason is a strong term with an exceedingly high legal standard.So, too, is seditious conspiracy.The use of violence or force is often a central element for both. Closer to the mark are other serious crimes.They include conspiracy to defraud the government and deprivation of rights under the color of law.That is, using knowingly false or fabricated evidence to support a case against Trump and to obstruct or impair a lawful government function such as an election.Not surprisingly, the genesis of the plot began with Hillary Clinton.On July 26, 2016, she allegedly approved an illicit scheme to sully her political opponent for colluding with Russia to rig the upcoming presidential election.The bogus smear was intended to distract from her own burgeoning email scandal.Hillarys campaign commissioned and funded a dossier that was little more than a collection of lies supplied by Clinton confederates. The CIA discovered what Hillary had done and immediately alerted the Obama White House.In two successive meetings on July 28 and Aug. 3, 2016, then-CIA Director John Brennan briefed the president and other top officials, including Vice President Joe Biden, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and FBI Director James Comey. Brennans handwritten notes from the Situation Room show how he recounted Clintons plan "to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security service." From that point on, it was a closely guarded secret.It was all a hoax, and the above-named participants well knew it. Yet, none of them had the integrity to step forward to tell either Congress or the American people the truth. Instead, they watched in silence as Comey and his FBI acolytes launched a dilating investigation of Trump dubbed "Crossfire Hurricane."They shamelessly weaponized their authority and contorted the law to persecute Trump.As planned, the fake collusion narrative was leaked to the Trump-hating media. Almost from the outset, the FBI had debunked the dossier and later fired its author, Christopher Steele, for lying.The ex-British spy had been a paid source for the FBI.By concealing this vital information, Comey sought and obtained surveillance warrants from the FISA court on a Trump campaign associate, Carter Page.No evidence of wrongdoing was ever discovered because none existed. When the Russia hoax failed to prevent Trump from winning the presidency, the same malevolent adversaries doubled down on the Clinton-inspired scheme. The new documents released by Gabbard show that a Dec. 8, 2016 draft of the Presidents Daily Briefing (PDB) assessed that "Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent US election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure." But that conclusion, compiled by top intelligence agencies, did not conform to the Trump collusion narrative.Comey and others apparently scuttled the PDB and concocted an alternative plan.The next day, Dec. 9, Obama convened select cabinet officials, along with Clapper, Brennan, and FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.A new Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) was ordered that would undermine the PDB and perpetuate the Trump-Russia collusion fiction. The replacement narrative would claim that Russia intervened in the 2016 election to help Trump win the presidency.It didnt seem to matter that it was not true. Brennan and Comey ensured that the discredited dossier was incorporated in the ICA, which was rushed to completion before the new president took office.Why the urgency? So that Comey could use it to entrap Trump into a false confession before his inauguration. On Jan. 6, 2017, the FBI director traveled to Trump Tower armed with the ICA that deceptively alleged Russian interference in the campaign and also confronted the president-elect with salacious accusations in the dossier that the bureau knew were untrue.Comeys unscrupulous gambit failed when Trump vigorously denied the allegations as utterly preposterous, which they were.None of that deterred Comey and his minions at the FBI.They escalated their investigation of Trump and propagated the collusion lie.Clapper leaked the dossier to CNN, as reporters and pundits spent the next year happily convicting the new president in the court of public opinion without a shred of plausible evidence. When Comey was eventually fired, he purloined FBI documents on his way out the door and promptly leaked them to a friend in the media to trigger the appointment of a special counsel who just happened to be his former colleague and mentor, Robert Mueller.In the end, of course, Mueller and his team of partisans try as they may could find no evidence of a criminal collusion conspiracy. Those of us who fairly and honestly covered the faux scandal knew it all along. In my 2018 book titled The Russia Hoax, I wrote on page one that "there was not a whiff of credible evidence to legally justify the probe" initiated by Comey.I described it as "a clever feint for a covert criminal investigation in search of a crime, reversing and bastardizing the legal process."I laid out the facts which still hold true today. In my follow-up book the next year, Witch Hunt, I offered more incriminating details of exactly how malign actors aspired and conspired to evict Trump from office:"Evidence against him was invented or embellished.Laws were perverted or ignored.Trump was framed for a collusion conspiracy that had never existed. They knew it was untrue." The newly constituted FBI has already opened a criminal investigation of Brennan and Comey.That is a good start.But they were not the only ones who should be held to account. The list is a long one, and it goes right to the top Obama and Clinton.It started with the collusion hoax, but it didnt end there. Trump appears to have been the victim of an ongoing criminal conspiracy that stretched for nearly a decade.It eventually evolved into the specious prosecutions brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith that were engineered by the Biden administration and simultaneous coverups of suspected illegality by the Biden family, many of whom received preemptive pardons.On that basis, the FBI is reportedly examining the possibility of bringing a "grand conspiracy" case that would encompass many of the above-noted acts that were intended to unduly influence three presidential elections, 2016, 2020, and 2024. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThe advantage of adopting this legal avenue is two-fold.First, it would extend any expired statute of limitations to the date of more recent overt acts such as the raid on Mar-a-Lago and events thereafter.Second, it would allow any prosecutions to be brought in a venue other than Washington, D.C., where the endemic bias of jurors make it nearly impossible to gain convictions. Meanwhile, there is still more damning evidence that must be declassified some of it sealed for nearly a decade and buried in the bowels of the FBI and other intel agencies. But even without it, there is little doubt that top officials at the FBI, CIA, Department of Justice and the White House abused their authority for political purposes.Armed with immense power and often lurking in the shadows, they were capable of uncommon corruption. Their allegiance was not to the Constitution and the rule of law but to themselves. Personal animus and a voracious appetite for control motivated their zeal.Trump was their obstacle.He jeopardized their hold on power, so they schemed to destroy him by any means and at any cost.The only cure for lies is the truth.And the only remedy for lawlessness is justice. The pursuit of what is right depends on both principles.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM GREGG JARRETT

A new material looks like regular concrete but crumbles like a marshmallow when a plane lands on it in an emergency. Known as marshmallow concrete, this ultra-light foam absorbs an aircraft's energy and helps bring it to a safe stop during runway overruns.Researchers at the China Building Materials Academy (CBMA) and their partners designed the material to weigh just 12.5 pounds per cubic foot. That's about one-tenth the weight of standard concrete. Its strength comes from a network of microscopic bubbles, each coated with a special maleated rosin. This structure allows the foam to crush in a controlled way and cushion even the heaviest aircraft."It looks solid, but it crumbles on impact," said Fang Jun, a research and development engineer at CBMA. "That's what allows it to slow planes down smoothly and effectively."Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts, and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox.

To reduce risk, airports use Runway End Safety Areas (RESAs). These zones are meant to stop planes that overshoot the runway. In the past, airports used sand, soil, grass, or water pools for this purpose. But each of these materials has serious drawbacks.Soil becomes unstable in wet or freezing conditions. Water can freeze in winter and attract wildlife, creating new hazards. Sand and grass don't always perform well, especially with heavier aircraft. These weaknesses have made it clear that airports need a more reliable and consistent safety solution.WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?Marshmallow concrete is engineered with a precise strength between 0.30 and 0.35 megapascals. If it's too strong, it won't crush and absorb energy. If it's too weak, it won't slow the plane. The research team compared the process to blowing bubbles into a concrete mix. These bubbles create the soft, crushable texture that helps stop a plane during an emergency.To make the bubbles strong enough to last until impact, the team used a special air-entraining agent. This forms a tough coating around each bubble. As a result, the material stays intact until an aircraft overruns the runway, then it collapses at the right moment to maximize safety.Unlike some international systems that rely on expensive calcium sulfoaluminate cement, marshmallow concrete uses ordinary cement, making it far more affordable for airports, especially those with limited budgets. The team also developed a two-stage strength-control system that helps the material adapt to harsh climates and maintain consistent performance throughout the year.GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HEREReal-world data from 14 airports in China, including one in the challenging climate of Tibet, show that the material's properties fluctuated by just three percent over a year. This result is well below the design tolerance of ten percent, which means airports can depend on the material to perform reliably, regardless of the weather.With its unique combination of low cost, environmental resilience, and life-saving performance, marshmallow concrete is poised to become the new global standard for runway safety. The material has already been installed at 14 Chinese airports, where it has demonstrated consistent and reliable performance even in extreme conditions. As more airports seek affordable ways to enhance safety, marshmallow concrete offers a promising solution that can save lives and reduce costs worldwide.If you fly in the U.S., whether for business, vacation, or visiting family, marshmallow concrete could soon make your journeys safer. While this breakthrough is currently being used at airports in China, its performance is turning heads worldwide, including among U.S. aviation experts looking for better runway safety solutions.Runway overruns dont happen often in the United States, but when they do, the consequences can be deadly. Think of high-traffic airports like LAX, JFK, or Atlanta, where a single overrun can disrupt thousands of flights and put lives at risk. Marshmallow concrete offers a low-cost, highly effective safety upgrade that could prevent these incidents or dramatically reduce their severity.The best part? This isn't some billion-dollar overhaul. Because it uses standard cement and is designed to work in all kinds of weather, including harsh winters and extreme heat, its a practical option for airports from Maine to Arizona. That means even smaller regional airports across the U.S. could benefit.You may never see this material, but it could be quietly protecting your flight behind the scenes, ready to absorb impact and bring a plane to a safe stop if something goes wrong. As U.S. airport authorities and the FAA explore more innovative, more cost-effective ways to modernize infrastructure, marshmallow concrete could be one of the safest bets in American aviation's future.Marshmallow concrete is changing the way airports think about safety. By combining strength, flexibility, and affordability, this new material offers airports a smarter way to protect passengers and crews. As more airports around the world look for reliable solutions, marshmallow concrete stands out as a proven option that delivers results. With its impressive performance in real-world conditions, it is easy to see why experts believe this innovation will set a new standard for runway safety.How do you feel about airports using new materials like marshmallow concrete for safety?

The Justice Department is investigating whether George Mason University (GMU) engaged in discriminatory hiring practices. According to the department, it is focused on determining whether GMU violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employers from discriminating based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin."It is unlawful and un-American to deny equal access to employment opportunities on the basis of race and sex," Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division said in a statement. "When employers screen out qualified candidates from the hiring process, they not only erode trust in our public institutionsthey violate the law, and the Justice Department will investigate accordingly."DOJ INVESTIGATING MINNESOTA HIRING PRACTICES IN LATEST CLASH WITH WALZIn a letter to GMU Board of Visitors Rector Charles "Cully" Stimson, Dhillon wrote that the DOJ has "reason to believe" that race and sex were used as "motivating factors in faculty hiring decisions" under GMU President Gregory Washington.Dhillon stated that on July 23, 2020, Washington emailed a GMU faculty listserv in which he said he planned to create a process for "renewal promotion and tenure" that would benefit "faculty of color and women." Furthermore, Washington allegedly also said in the email that he aimed to "develop specific mechanisms in the promotion and tenure process that recognize the invisible and uncredited emotional labor that people of color expend to learn, teach, discover, and work on campus.""I have authorized a full investigation to determine whether GMU is engaged in a pattern or practice of discrimination as set forth above. We have not reached any conclusions about the subject matter of the investigation," Dhillon wrote.UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA PRESIDENT RESIGNS AMID PRESSURE FROM TRUMP ADMIN OVER DEI INITIATIVESThe investigation into GMU comes just weeks after University of Virginia President James Ryan resigned due to pressure from the Trump administration."To make a long story short, I am inclined to fight for what I believe in, and I believe deeply in this University. But I cannot make a unilateral decision to fight the federal government in order to save my own job. To do so would not only be quixotic but appear selfish and self-centered to the hundreds of employees who would lose their jobs, the researchers who would lose their funding, and the hundreds of students who could lose financial aid or have their visas withheld," Ryan wrote in a statement.The Trump administration has made tacking diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies, particularly in government and educational institutions, a priority. As part of the DEI crackdown, the Education Department launched the "End DEI" Portal in February 2025. It allows parents, students, teachers and even concerned citizens to submit reports on what they believe to be DEI in publicly funded K-12 schools.President Donald Trump has issued multiple executive orders aimed at ending DEI. This includes "Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing" and "Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity."Fox News Digital contacted Mike Fragoso of Torridon Law PLLC, who is handling inquiries on behalf of George Mason University, but did not get a response in time for publication.
