Shaq pours cold water on WNBA's gambling post, reflects on players' 'professional jealousy' of Caitlin Clark

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 09:19:44 -0400

The WNBA has been under critical fire since the first day Caitlin Clark joined the league.

While being in the midst of culture war battles, Clark has also been the victim of some hard fouls due to what's commonly been perceived as massive jealousy from her peers.

As the WNBA has dealt with its own apparent battle amid its players on different sides of the transgender athlete debate, the league drummed up even more controversy after deleting a post about a wager between Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers.

The two stars recorded a video in which they wagered $400 on a recent game between their respective teams — betting of any kind is strictly prohibited under the WNBA's new collective bargaining agreement, with Section 5 of Article 14 in the agreement dedicated to gambling regulations. A WNBA spokesperson released a statement on Thursday claiming that the quickly deleted video was "intended to be lighthearted," but that it "simply missed the mark."

NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal, though, saw practically nothing wrong with what Reese and Bueckers did.

SHAQUILLE O'NEAL TALKS LEBRON JAMES' LAKERS LEGACY, WHY HIS NEW 76ERS MIGHT BE EXTREMELY 'DANGEROUS'

"That’s what we call a 'homeboy bet.' If it falls under gambling, it would be under the misdemeanor section; people need to stop it. She's not f---ing point shaving," O'Neal told Fox News Digital recently.

The former big man also admitted that there is "professional jealousy" when it comes to Clark, but "it’s what we call the rites of passage."

"There's girls that are going, 'You don't talk about me like that, you talk about her.' You gotta take advantage of that opportunity. You have to go at who they think the best is. If you got other people coming at her, then it is what it is. Once she gets through this next year and keeps playing the way she's playing, they’ll have no choice but to love and accept it," O'Neal said. "But this is what we call rites of passage. We don’t just let youngsters come in and take over because they’re getting all the props from the media.

"Caitlin's a tough cookie. She'll be able to get over it. Angel's throwing 'bows, talking smack, letting everyone know, 'I'm not scared.' Caitlin's probably gotta do a little more of that."

Fauci held in contempt as COVID cellphone lands in hands of Senate investigators

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 09:13:09 -0400

Senate Republicans moved to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress in their pursuit of forcing the former architect of the nation’s COVID-19 response to go on record about his actions leading up to and during the pandemic.

The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee voted on sharp party lines to charge Fauci, the former chief medical advisor to the president, with contempt after he refused to answer questions from both sides of the aisle over fear of self-incrimination.

The move follows Fauci’s decision to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights more than 100 times during his hearing last week, which prompted the panel’s chair, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., to vow that he would face "repercussions" for not testifying, or at least how Paul envisioned.

FAUCI'S HHS IPHONE TURNED OVER TO SENATE INVESTIGATORS AS CONTEMPT VOTE LOOMS

Typically, once a contempt resolution passes by committee, it heads to the Senate floor for a full vote. However, Paul’s resolution allows that step to be skipped altogether and allows him to send the referral directly to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.

But Paul wants the Department of Justice (DOJ) involved as soon as possible. There’s also the question whether Fauci’s pardon from former President Joe Biden protected him during the hearing, which Paul hopes to find answers to.

"It’s a good legal discussion, and we will make those legal points to DOJ in sending the referral over," Paul told Fox News Digital ahead of the hearing.

RAND PAUL PREDICTS FAUCI CONTEMPT VOTE WILL PASS, VOWS SWIFT DOJ REFERRAL

It’s another chapter in the feud between Paul and Fauci that has extended over the last several years since the onset of the pandemic.

Paul has accused the former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director of funding "risky" research that led to an alleged lab leak of the COVID-19 virus in China and has demanded that he end up behind bars.

And in the background, a copy of Fauci’s pandemic-era cellphone is now in the possession of Senate Republican investigators.

Fox News Digital confirmed that the Robert F. Kennedy Jr.-led Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) sent over a copy of the phone to the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations chaired by Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis.

TOP 5 MOMENTS FROM FAUCI'S HEARING: PAUL BOOTS LAWYER, MORENO ERUPTS AS CONTEMPT VOTE LOOMS

That committee falls under the umbrella of Paul’s Homeland Security panel, which also received a trove of over 1,000 pages of Fauci’s personal diary before last week’s hearing.

It is unclear if Johnson and Paul have access to the information on the phone.

Meanwhile, across the marble expanse of the Capitol, Republican investigators in the House are cooking up their own probe into Fauci.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., previously signaled that he was not done with Fauci, either.

After the longtime public health official pleaded the Fifth Amendment during his Senate hearing, Comer questioned the validity of his preemptive pardon granted by President Joe Biden. He also said his committee would be questioning Fauci further, though he did not elaborate.

"If former President Biden’s blanket autopen pardon is valid, then Dr. Fauci has no right to refuse to answer questions," Comer said, noting his committee had done extensive work probing the autopen pardons. "Based on the release of Dr. Fauci’s diary, which should have been provided to the House Oversight Committee last Congress...we’ll be asking Dr. Fauci whether he stands by his previous testimony to our Committee."

Social media explodes as WNBA star Kelsey Plum leaps into the arms of opposing coach during play

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 09:10:37 -0400

Another night, and another "Only in the WNBA" moment. Thankfully, this one had nothing to do with racism, men playing women's sports, or Angel Reese missing a 2-foot layup.

Nope. This one was just some good, clean family fun from last night's Phoenix-Atlanta game.

For those who missed it (and that's literally all of you), the Dream took down the Mercury, 96-82, in a back-and-forth contest. Reese finished with 14 points and 10 assists.

ANGEL REESE PUT UP ONE OF THE WORST BASKETBALL SHOTS OF ALL TIME, AND THEN SOMETHING AMAZING HAPPENED

But I don't care about the Xs and Os of last night's game. What I care about is what transpired late in the game, when Kelsey Plum went barreling down the court, veered too much to the bench, and ended up in the arms of opposing coach, Karl Smesko.

You're simply not getting this sort of content out of the NBA, folks.

Soak it all in:

WNBA relies on moments like these

What a scene. What a moment.

What a league!

Every night, it's something new. Most of it's ... not great ... but it's still a talker, and that's all that matters. Yesterday Sophie Cunningham went on some long rant about how WNBA beat reporters don't ever talk about basketball.

Of course not, Sophie! The basketball ain't what makes the WNBA compelling. Sure, some of the games are good, but most of them are terrible. The officiating is terrible. The matchups are terrible.

WNBA COACH TORCHES LEAGUE’S OFFICIATING AFTER LATEST BIZARRE NO-CALL: ‘IT’S A F------ JOKE’

We want to break down the other stuff. Stuff like Kelsey Plum leaping into a coach's arms and putting all of her faith into him.

Stuff like Angel Reese saying black Barbie dolls didn't exist until the 2000s.

Stuff like Caitlin Clark getting mugged with no foul being called, or Sophie Cunningham pointing at some obnoxious player, or ESPN drooling over a coach wearing a pro-trans shirt.

THAT's the stuff that gets eyeballs. Fair or not, it's a fact. It's the truth.

Plum, by the way, had a monster game last night. She finished with 19 points, five rebounds and four assists. Good for her.

All social media could talk about, however, was the leap. I get it.

Mom of slain Citadel cadet says son was 'such a light' as expert flags cellphones as potential motive break

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 09:00:34 -0400

The mother of a Citadel cadet killed alongside his best friend remembered her son as "such a light," while a former detective said the two victims' cellphones may hold the answer to why they were slain.

The DeLand Police Department in Florida said Dustin Rose, 19, and Samson Campbell, 18, were found dead at around 10:40 p.m. on July 29.

Officials announced on Tuesday that an arrest warrant was obtained for a 17-year-old male, who was arrested on Wednesday by the U.S. Marshals Service.

During a Wednesday news conference, authorities said the three people "knew each other in some capacity," and said the teenager who was arrested has a "pretty good criminal history."

TEEN ARRESTED ON MURDER CHARGES AFTER CITADEL CADET AND CHILDHOOD FRIEND FOUND SHOT DEAD

Rose attended The Citadel Military College of South Carolina and was home on break at the time. In a message to the campus community shared with Fox News Digital, The Citadel President Gen. Frank McKenzie described Rose as a "team leader and was a valued friend and classmate."

In addition, Rose was also a member of the South Carolina National Guard, a spokeswoman confirmed with Fox News Digital.

Rachel Rose, Dustin's mother, said he was "such a light in our family."

"When they took him they took the very best part of me. We are devastated," she told Fox News Digital.

CITADEL CADET, CHILDHOOD FRIEND GUNNED DOWN IN VACANT FLORIDA LOT AS POLICE LAUNCH MANHUNT

Patrick McGeehan, a criminal defense attorney and former homicide detective, told Fox News Digital since their phones weren't stolen, investigators could use them as they try to piece together a potential motive.

"And they still have the phone, the one kid still had the phone, which leads me to believe that's not a robbery. It may be something else, because who's going to leave a thousand dollar smart phone if they're doing robbery? That's something else that jumped out at me," McGeehan said. "They will go through their phones. They will do a forensic audit of their phones, that is something that agencies in the area are capable of doing."

"The information they can gather from the phone is fairly extensive," he added.

Police released a screenshot of surveillance video showing the two walking together on Tuesday evening. It's not yet known if the two were targeted.

One of the victims' mothers may have been among the family members who found the two dead after they went unreachable by phone, police previously said.

Campbell, a DeLand native, had been staying with his aunt, Karen Chobin, in the Chicago area. Chobin said he was in town to grieve the recent death of the family's 8-year-old dog and was staying with Rose's grandparents.

Rose was in DeLand to help Campbell spread his dog's ashes, Chobin said.

"It was a traumatic loss. It wasn't a passing of old age. It was awful. And then for this to be what he's welcomed with when he goes down there to mourn his loss is devastating," Chobin said.

Rose's aunt, Jaimie Scarola, told FOX 35 his life was taken too soon.

"He was willing to go to the front line and fight for our freedom, including the freedom of the one who took him from us," Scarola said. "You took him away from not only his family, but you robbed an entire country of a future soldier who didn't get to answer that call."

Democratic Socialists of America need to actually meet the China they claim to love

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 09:00:28 -0400

To be sure, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) seems to be growing as it further intrigues those either too desperate, too ignorant, or too hate-filled to ascertain the danger it represents to them, their families and their country. Ignorance by far, is leading the pack.

Thanks to a piece in The Times of London – and further reported on by multiple sites – that ignorance now shines like the sun on steroids. A recent headline in The Times declared: "DSA members pledge support for Chinese Communist Party after VIP trip." The sub-headline read: "The CCP has organised trips for members of the Democratic Socialists of America, which helped Zohran Mamdani’s election campaign."

Why would the DSA sing the praises of China and offer it up as a model? As reported, within their greater pledge, they answer the question themselves. Say these DSA members in part: "Why China? We support all states building or aspiring to socialism, and we favor the highest level of unity and friendship between them. We foreground China in particular because its size and level of development give it an objectively critical role in the global transition to socialism."

DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS OF AMERICA ACTIVISTS SIGNED PLEDGE TO SUPPORT, DEFEND 'CHINESE SOCIALISM'

To be sure, China does play a "critical role in the global transition to socialism." But one that is diametrically opposed to the fantasy being pushed by the DSA.

Recently, a DSA member confirmed that the organization does want to literally defund or abolish the police; the military; ICE; sovereign and protected borders; the presidency, Senate, Supreme Court, prisons and corporate ownership. OK.

Newsflash to the DSA: China is the worldwide leader in absolute control and obedience via its powerful – and growing – military, its various police forces, its spy agencies and its military-controlled courts. And do you know what they are also exceptional at? Building prisons and filling them with "enemies of the state."

As the DSA promotes itself as a vessel for the disenfranchised and those injured and exploited by the powerful, I would ask if its "leadership" is for or against "genocide." And if against it, has it ever heard of "the Uyghurs?"

GOP SENATORS UNVEIL MOVE TO MEMORIALIZE COMMUNISM VICTIMS ON CCP'S DOORSTEP AMID DEM CIVIL WAR: 'NO TOLERANCE'

No? Well, they are tragically very easy to learn about. They either reside in Chinese prisons, labor camps or mass graves. Collectively, millions of men, women and children have been persecuted, tortured or killed.

As for sovereign and protected borders, China excels at them. Anyone daring to cross those borders illegally is dealt with by the harshest means possible.

The DSA loves China but hates the presidency, the Senate and the Supreme Court. On that count, President Xi Jinping no doubt agrees when it comes to destabilizing the United States, but gleefully goes them one better. He simplified the process by folding all the power of China into just one body. His own.

Same thing with the "corporate ownership" the DSA hopes to abolish in the U.S. Xi and his handpicked circle of, not shockingly, multi-billionaire bootlickers exert full and brutal control of China’s "corporate" outlets. Every single one of them.

DSA CO-CHAIR PUSHES BACK ON SOVIET UNION COMPARISONS, WANTS PRISONS TO BE 'LESS NECESSARY'

Many of the idiotic and ignorant pronouncements of the DSA when it comes to its allegiance with China were ironically explained – and exposed – by one of the most infamous communists in world history: Vladimir Lenin.

Lenin globally cultivated what economist Ludwig von Mises described as "useful idiots." Lenin knew communism – minus its genocidal enforcement – was doomed to failure and sought to build an echo chamber of the compromised to push it beyond Russia’s borders. He found and created thousands of such disciples in those who proclaimed themselves part of the liberal "intelligentsia."

Understanding that Machiavellian strategy, one could easily surmise that, were Lenin around today, he would smirk in satisfaction upon reading this quote from an American DSA leader after being hosted by the Communist Chinese Government: "The provincial foreign affairs department staff called us ‘VIPs’ and treated us royally… There is a serene and comfortable spirit of confidence and conviviality among our Chinese hosts."

Wow. Game, set and match for China.

SEE IT: GOP SENATOR FLIPS SCRIPT ON AGITATORS TIED TO PRO-CCP, SINGHAM NETWORK

Why? As reported in the Times piece: "While these seem like quirky activist trips to get people to like China, they’re treated as extraordinarily important vehicles to change the Western perception of China by the Chinese Communist Party," said Alexander Reid Ross, a professor at Portland State University. "They exhibit fingerprints of extraordinarily high-level coordination by the People’s Republic of China."

They do indeed. But the success of China in indoctrinating the DSA should ultimately give the Chinese leadership great pause. Bill Maher recently showed why this is so.

The exceptionally aware and commonsense-espousing host of "Real Time" on HBO called out much of the destructive ignorance of the DSA when he savaged that organization during his July 31 broadcast, simply by listing quote after quote. Maher showed New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani word for word echoing the Karl Marx mantra: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."

BILL MAHER ADMITS HE COULD VOTE FOR JD VANCE, WARNS 'COWARDLY' DEMOCRATS FACE SOCIALIST TAKEOVER

He showed radical left podcaster Hasan Piker glorifying the murderous regimes of the Soviet Union and Mao Zedong. Maher also highlighted the spine-chilling calls to "seizing all properties from landlords," to "impoverish the White middle class," to "the government’s sacred right to seize private property," and an open call to "elect more communists."

Maher’s audience is generally left-of-center. But even it repeatedly laughed out loud as the host made fun of the seemingly functionally illiterate DSA. I suspect that if the appropriate people in China have not watched Maher’s segment on the DSA, they soon will.

Unlike the DSA – which also pushes "woke" and "identity politics" over merit – China only believes in elevating the most intelligent, the most experienced and the fittest when it comes to its military, its police forces and the spy agencies it controls. As such, China may quickly decide that DSA members would need a promotion to become "useful idiots" and are not worth the time, energy and money to recruit. We live in hope.

Sophie Cunningham addresses the fallout over her stance on trans athletes not belonging in women's sports

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 08:45:15 -0400

Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham does not believe that female athletes should have to share a locker room or compete against biological males.

For simply protecting women's sports and young girls, the eight-year WNBA veteran has received tremendous pushback from many in the media and recently addressed the fallout that feels like it may never fully end.

Cunningham joined USA Network's WNBA broadcast on Wednesday evening, certainly knowing she would be asked about her opposition to transgender athletes competing in women's sports and the pushback that has come along with that.

SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM DOUBLES DOWN AHEAD OF SUN GAME AFTER ESPN PROFILE STIRS CONTROVERSY: 'I SAID WHAT I SAID'

Elle Duncan, formerly of ESPN, didn't want to revisit "the actual issue that brought us to this point" during her conversation with Cunningham, but instead asked her specifically about the WNBA's suspension of Seattle Storm minority owner Celeste Keaton.

Keaton allegedly called a pair of teenage Sophie Cunningham fans "f---ing insane" during Indiana's win in Seattle on July 28. Duncan asked Cunningham to share her thoughts over the owner-fan interaction, which is when she addressed the overall fallout over her opinion that women's sports should be exclusive to biological women.

"I think I have a very clear and strong perspective on this," referring to the topic of trans athletes in women's sports. "I know that people are not always going to align and agree, I totally understand that, but I think the most important thing is having that respect, having that love, and pursuing peace in these conversations, in these debates, because I think that it's healthy.

"With that being said, I just hate how The W, the basketball of it all, is just getting overshadowed...It just makes me sad that all this sort of drama, on things that truly don't matter, that the basektball is getting overshadowed. My biggest thing is that love and respect, there is room for absolutely everybody, and we don't always have to agree, but that respect and love definitely has to be there."

Cunningham's comments on USA Network were similar to those she shared earlier on Wednesday, claiming that all the WNBA media does is "cover everything except basketball."

While Cunningham has long been among the most popular players in the WNBA, her rise to the center of the women's basketball universe came after ESPN published a story on July 21 in which she addressed trans athletes in women's sports.

"I got a lot of negative feedback about me hating trans. And I'm like, 'I never once said that,'" Cunningham told the outlet. "I think that I am here to extend love. But I also think with that love is truth, being honest. And I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men."

"I'm very much in the middle. I agree with things on both sides, disagree with things on both sides," Cunningham continued." And that's all I've ever said about my political beliefs. But people love to assume."

Cunningham said that her interview with ESPN took place back in February of this year.

A New York Times poll conducted in March 2025 found that 79% of Americans believe that men should be barred from competing in women's sports.

One-wheeled AI security robot could patrol your property

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 08:27:35 -0400

What if the next security guard rolling past your office had one wheel and never needed a coffee break? That is the pitch behind 1Rollo, a one-wheeled AI security robot from Estonian startup Rollo Robotics. The company believes its narrow design could patrol large properties at a lower operating cost than traditional security vehicles.

The machine follows mapped routes while watching the area around it. When its artificial intelligence detects unusual activity, 1Rollo can alert a human operator. That person can review the situation and decide whether to send a security guard.

For now, 1Rollo remains a functional prototype. Rollo Robotics says it plans to make the robot commercially available in 2027. Therefore, its design and specifications could change before customers begin using it.

HUMANOID ROBOT SKIN SENSES PEOPLE BEFORE CONTACT

How the 1Rollo AI security robot patrols property

1Rollo uses a 360-degree computer vision system to monitor its surroundings. It also relies on Real-Time Kinematic Global Navigation Satellite System positioning (RTK GNSS). RTK uses correction data to provide more precise positioning than standard satellite navigation. That precision could help the robot stay close to its assigned route around a business or industrial property. As the robot moves, its cameras and sensors look for obstacles. The system can then adjust its path to avoid a collision. Meanwhile, the AI analyzes the area for anomalies. If the system spots something unusual, it can send an alert over Wi-Fi or a 4G or 5G connection.

How the one-wheeled security robot stays balanced

Keeping a 100-pound robot upright on one wheel takes more than a clever-looking design. Rollo Robotics uses a vertically positioned spinning flywheel inside the machine. The flywheel sits in line with the main wheel and helps the robot maintain its balance. To turn, the system tilts the internal flywheel toward either side. Rollo Robotics describes the hardware and software behind this method as patent-pending. The single-wheel design gives the robot a narrow footprint. As a result, it may travel through spaces where a wider patrol vehicle would struggle. However, Rollo Robotics has not published detailed performance results for stairs, steep slopes or deeply uneven ground. Those real-world tests will show where the monowheel design works best.

1Rollo security robot speed and battery life

The company's current specifications list 1Rollo at about 43 inches tall. Its wheel measures 24 inches across, while the complete robot weighs approximately 100 pounds. Rollo Robotics lists a top speed of 19 mph. That is much faster than the walking pace of many existing security robots. Battery life reaches up to eight hours per charge, according to the company. The product information also lists autonomous wireless charging.

FOREIGN ROBOT BAN TARGETS CHINA OVER SECURITY FEARS

How cameras and sensors expand 1Rollo patrols

The standard robot includes a 360-degree vision system. However, Rollo Robotics designed the platform to support additional equipment. Customers could add thermal cameras for low-light environments. The platform can also support pan-tilt-zoom cameras for viewing activity farther away. Other compatible equipment includes night vision, RFID systems and custom payloads. These options could help companies adapt the robot for a specific property.

How operators could manage a 1Rollo robot fleet

A cloud-based management platform would allow operators to monitor multiple robots from one location. Security teams could define patrol routes and review performance through the platform. An operator could also watch a live feed after receiving an alert. The robot includes a microphone and speaker. Therefore, the operator could speak with someone near the machine without immediately sending a guard. We have seen a similar approach with the Ascento Guard autonomous security robot. That machine also patrols property while human operators handle serious incidents.

However, robots still need to prove they provide meaningful results. Dublin, Ohio, recently retired an AI robot cop that recorded no arrests during its parking garage pilot. That case does not predict how 1Rollo will perform. Still, it shows why customers should establish clear goals before deploying autonomous security technology.

How the 1Rollo subscription model could work

Rollo Robotics plans to offer 1Rollo through a Robotics-as-a-Service model. Customers would subscribe to the service instead of buying the robot outright. According to CEO and co-founder Sander Sebastian Agur, the subscription would include access to current hardware, software updates and support. The model could remove a large upfront equipment expense. It may also make repairs and future upgrades easier for customers. Rollo Robotics says its goal is to reduce operating costs compared with relying on human guards or patrol vehicles. However, the company has not announced subscription pricing.

AI security robot privacy and cybersecurity questions

A connected robot may improve physical security while creating new digital concerns. 1Rollo uses wireless connections and a cloud platform. Therefore, customers should ask how the company encrypts camera feeds and protects operator accounts. They should also ask where recordings are stored. Clear deletion policies will become important for employees and visitors who appear on camera. Meanwhile, the robot needs a safe way to handle a lost internet connection. It should keep avoiding people and obstacles even when a remote operator cannot reach it. Buyers should also learn how Rollo Robotics delivers security updates. A compromised patrol robot could expose video or provide unauthorized access to its controls. Lawmakers have already raised similar concerns about autonomous machines. A proposed federal bill would restrict government use of some foreign robots over national security fears. Rollo Robotics operates in Estonia, but every connected robot deserves the same cybersecurity review.

What this means to you

You probably will not find a one-wheeled robot guarding people's driveway anytime soon. However, businesses could begin seeing machines like 1Rollo around warehouses or office campuses. Large private properties may also use them to cover areas that guards cannot watch continuously. The robot could handle repetitive patrols while people make decisions during an incident. That may also keep guards away from hazardous areas until they understand what is happening. Still, a moving camera can feel more intrusive than one mounted on a wall. Employees and visitors deserve to know when the robot records them. They should also know who can watch the footage and how long the company keeps it. Those answers should arrive before the robot begins its first patrol.

Kurt's key takeaways

1Rollo looks unusual, but the idea behind it makes sense. A narrow autonomous machine could cover large properties without the bulk of a security vehicle. The human operator also remains part of the process. The robot detects activity and sends an alert, while a person decides what should happen next. However, the polished demonstration is only the beginning. Rollo Robotics still needs to show that 1Rollo can handle changing weather, crowded spaces and long shifts without constant assistance. Pricing will play a major role too. Businesses need to know whether the subscription saves money and delivers better security than existing systems.

Mets reliever sets baseball world on fire with the cockiest strikeout celebration in MLB history

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 08:26:03 -0400

You play, and then cover baseball long enough, you think you've seen it all. I've been in this game a long time.

Hand up, I thought I'd pretty much seen it all ...

... Until New York Mets reliever Jefry Yan made his MLB debut Wednesday night. I can promise you, nothing will prepare you for this.

Whatever you're envisioning in your mind, it won't come close to what actually transpired on the field.

Yan, 29, came on in the sixth inning for the first time since being called up earlier this week. The Dominican then proceeded to strike out the first batter he faced, and celebrated with his signature "jump in the air and then smack the ground" celebration that instantly set the baseball world on fire.

Take a look:

Jefry Yan will be a problem, for multiple reasons

Whoaaaaaaaaa Nellie! I've never seen anything like it. Neither have you. Nobody has.

Because, frankly, nobody in their right mind would ever do that in public, much less in an actual Major League Baseball game.

But credit to Yan for not backing down. Some thought he would ditch the celebration when he finally got the call to the bigs, but he stuck with it.

Dance with the partner you came with, right? Be you, no matter how insufferably obnoxious you are.

I'd expect that to happen a lot more going forward. Again, at some point, this kid will strike out the wrong person (Willson Contreras), and there will be hell to pay. Trust me, it's coming.

The 8 healthiest beans you should be eating more often, according to nutrition expert

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 08:00:54 -0400

Beans and legumes are affordable, protein-packed and health-promoting foods that deserve a more prominent place on your plate, health experts say.

"Fewer than 14% of American adults eat beans on a given day, and that's a problem, because they're some of the most nutrient-dense foods you can buy," New York City-based nutrition and wellness expert Samantha Cassetty, founder of Sam's Plate and co-author of "Sugar Shock," told Fox News Digital. "They deliver protein, fiber and slow-burning carbs for steady energy, plus folate, magnesium, iron and other essential nutrients."

Beans are also naturally cholesterol-free and contain no saturated fats, registered dietitian nutritionist Deborah Murphy told Food & Wine.

CHEAP, HEALTHY FOOD IS REJECTED BY MOST AMERICANS EVEN AS MAHA MOVEMENT PUSHES IT

Studies have linked regular bean consumption with a lower risk of chronic diseases, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity, which may contribute to a longer life expectancy.

"In a moment when everyone's chasing protein and grocery bills are climbing, canned beans are one of the cheapest proteins on the shelf," Cassetty said. "The best part is that you can open a can, rinse, drain and call it dinner prep."

Some beans and legumes stand out for their health benefits.

No. 1: Black beans

Black beans are prized for their protein, fiber and antioxidants, Cassetty told Fox News Digital. They contain about 8 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber per 1/2-cup serving.

One of Cassetty's go-to salads incorporates black beans, corn (frozen and canned work as well as fresh, she said), diced bell pepper, avocado, cherry tomatoes and a spoonful of salsa. She said it can be enjoyed as "a light meal, hearty side or wrap filling."

No. 2: Chickpeas

Technically a legume – the broader plant family beans belong to – chickpeas are versatile because they work in sweet and savory dishes alike, Cassetty said.

"Air-fry them for a crunchy snack or salad topper," she advised.

"They're also great scattered over roasted veggies and grain bowls. Research shows people who eat chickpeas and hummus regularly have higher intakes of fiber, folate, potassium and iron than people who don't, and better overall diet quality scores."

No. 3: Lentils

Lentils are also legumes and offer a "ground-meat texture and a solid dose of plant-based iron," Cassetty said.

She recommended mixing them with chopped walnuts (Cassetty is a partner with the California Walnut Board) for extra fiber, protein and plant-based omega-3s.

"That combo of beans and walnuts is powerful, supporting heart, brain and gut health in each bite. Use the crumble in spaghetti sauce, tacos or wraps."

No. 4: Edamame

Edamame are immature soybeans that people typically boil or steam and eat as a snack or appetizer with coarse salt. They're also used in many dishes.

"Frozen edamame is a freezer staple in my house," Cassetty said. "A 1/2 cup delivers about 9 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber. Toss it with cucumber, brown rice, rice vinegar, tamari and sesame oil for a five-minute meal."

No. 5: White beans

White beans also pack a powerful protein punch, with about 9 grams of the essential nutrient per 1/2 cup.

"I stir them into tuna and egg salad, but my favorite trick is blending leftovers into a smoothie," Cassetty said. "You won't notice next to the sweetness of the fruit, but they add the creamiest texture, plus protein and fiber."

No. 6: Pinto beans

Pinto beans may have "a special edge on cholesterol," Cassetty said.

While the soluble fiber in all beans helps clear cholesterol from the bloodstream, animal research suggests they may lower cholesterol synthesis in the liver and cholesterol absorption in the small intestine, Cassetty said.

"In one trial, a half cup of pinto beans a day dropped total and LDL cholesterol by more than 8%, outperforming oatmeal," she said.

No. 7: Kidney beans

If you're planning to eat a high-fat meal – think a bacon cheeseburger with onion rings – you may want to find a way to incorporate kidney beans in the mix.

Animal research suggests kidney beans can favorably shift gut bacteria and reduce inflammatory markers associated with a high-fat diet, Cassetty noted. She advised using them in chili or over nachos, or trying them in a three-bean salad with some roughly chopped toasted walnuts for crunch and added nutritional value.

No. 8: Black-eyed peas

The protein, fiber and iron in black-eyed peas mean they deserve "a permanent spot in your bean rotation," Cassetty said.

They're also "the unsung hero of cowboy caviar," a cold bean salad that also uses fresh vegetables, herbs and vinaigrette dressing and is typically served with tortilla chips, she said.

Thomas Rhett reveals why he and wife Lauren reject celebrity perks for country life

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 08:00:49 -0400

Thomas Rhett admitted this week that his wife didn’t think he was going to become a famous country singer.

"We've definitely had our fair share of ups and downs, ‘cause I think that Lauren really… she craves simplicity, at all costs, simplicity," the country singer said on the "Girls In Low Places" podcast on Sunday, clarifying that she believed he was talented, but knew that stardom was rare.

"She grew up, you know, real country, and her and her daddy would lay in the street at night and look at the stars," noting that "he would just call out different constellations and stuff like, ‘That's a satellite and that's this.’"

He explained that was how she saw her life, calling it "a real suburban neighborhood thing."

Rhett said he and Lauren Akins have known each other since they were in first grade, and they briefly dated in high school before reconnecting after she graduated from college.

"So, we got married at 22."

Admitting "there’s nothing normal" about fame, they noted that it affects everyone.

"There's just so many crazy things that come with being famous," he said, giving the example of getting to cut lines, which he said he refuses to do.

"I think that's why so many people try to just live their life in search of such normalcy and I think my wife obviously has wanted that her whole life, and we do live very simply," the "Die a Happy Man" singer said. "But it took me a minute."

He said his career "really started to pop" around 2017 to 2019.

"I don't think I let it get to my head, but I do think I got really used to it," the 36-year-old admitted. "In probably not the best way."

Rhett admitted he has to actively focus on not letting fame get him, because "when you walk on stage in front of, you know, 10,000 people, that's like a rush that you can't like go replicate. You know what I'm saying? Like you can't just go like play flag football with your friends and think that's going to entice the same feeling."

For that reason, he has a difficult time "being content in simple situations because I think there's no super high going on."

"And I have, you know, definitely five kids that definitely don't see me that way," he joked.

The couple share Willa, 10, Ada, who turns 9 on Aug. 12, Lennon, 6, Lillie, 4, and Brave, who was born in February.

He admitted trying to be "super dad" and taking his kids to school while he’s in the middle of doing late-night concerts can also be exhausting.

Later, in the podcast, when asked what marriage advice he would give, Rhett said, "Don’t forget to continue to date your wife."

"It gets so much harder when you have children to make time for each other because there's so many other bodies that need your full-time assistance," he explained.

The singer said he and his wife recently spent two days just the two of them in London before joining friends in the Cotswolds, noting that "you feel sad, and your kids are like ‘Why are you leaving?' And you're like, ‘Because we want to stay married!’" he joked.

Earlier this year, he admitted during his years of early fame he felt like he was "living a double life," adding that it almost ruined his marriage.

"I look through my life and I think about all the things that have kind of twisted me or made me like not the best person to be around, and it has always been either around affirmation or lack of affirmation," the country star told Sadie Robertson Huff on her "WHOA That’s Good" podcast.

Appearing on the podcast with his wife, Rhett said that at the height of his fame, he experienced "the most affirmation I think I'd ever received in my life. And I really liked it."

But he admitted that he didn’t feel he handled his marriage very well at the time.

"I look back at our life during that time, and I'm not — I don't think I stewarded it very well, to be honest with you," he said.

Rhett, who is Christian, said publicly he kept up a façade of spirituality, "but internally I was dying. Like I genuinely, I just liked what was happening so much that I think so much of me was being sucked into the world so hard that it just kept pushing me and her like this," he said, moving his hands away from each other.

Rhett noted that he and his wife said from "day one, divorce is not an option," but, "the more you actually think about it, anything is actually an option if you let it become that."

It wasn’t until 2020 that he "actually discovered bits and pieces of who I actually was at my core, without a microphone, without a stage with and without affirmation, because it was the first time it had ever been taken away from me, if that makes any sense," Rhett explained, referring to the pandemic.

"I’m not perfect," he continued. "I'll never be perfect, but I would say, like today, us looking at each other and being a married couple, I would say this is… I'm living my most true self now."

Eyewitness describes suspicious encounter that helped launch Washington wildfire arson probe

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 08:00:23 -0400

A Washington grandfather said a stranger lingering near a dead-end road where almost nobody goes immediately caught his attention – moments before smoke began rising from the same stretch of railroad tracks and a devastating wildfire erupted.

Paul Child was driving his grandson to pick up a friend Saturday when he noticed a bald man standing near the railroad tracks along West Euclid Road and staring into the tree line.

"I really didn’t think anything of it at that point," Child told Fox News Digital.

SPENCER PRATT REACTS TO SPOKANE DEVASTATION WITH BLUNT WILDFIRE WARNING AND MESSAGE OF FAITH

About 10 minutes later, Child drove back along the same road and noticed the man was still there.

"This time he was kind of bent over and looked like he was doing something in the brush or the bushes and the grass and the trees," Child said. "When he saw us, then he kind of stood up and was acting kind of nervous."

Even Child’s grandson sensed something was off.

"My grandson said, ‘What’s he doing?’" Child said.

The family returned to their home and minutes later, Child’s daughter, Ana Dillon, glanced toward the same stretch of railroad tracks.

"I just happened to look up and saw a huge cloud of white smoke, then black smoke," Dillon told Fox News Digital.

Child immediately connected the smoke to the stranger he had seen lingering near the tree line.

"The first thing I thought was, ‘That SOB started the fire,’" Child alleged.

MYSTERY STRANGER VANISHES AFTER FAMILY SAYS FRANTIC WARNING SAVED THEIR LIVES DURING DEVASTATING HOUSE FIRE

Child called 911 and tried to reach the only other homeowner on the dead-end stretch of road. The neighbor was not home, but Child reached him by phone and warned that a wildfire was moving toward the property, where workers were inside a shop behind the house.

"We drove down there and notified that person and told him maybe he should leave," Child said.

By then, firefighters had begun to arrive as flames spread across the dry grasslands and the family hurried to evacuate.

"The fire was coming toward us, so we packed up everything, everyone and animals," Dillon said.

PALISADES FIRE SUSPECT ALLEGEDLY DRIVEN BY 'SOCIETAL REVENGE,' BEHAVIORAL ANALYST TESTIFIES IN COURT

Child said the family fled their nearly 17-acre property with five dogs and two cats, later flagging down an Airway Heights police officer and describing the man he had seen as a bald white male wearing a green T-shirt and backpack, court records show.

He also told officers where the man had been standing before smoke began rising from the area. Spokane County sheriff’s deputies soon detained a man matching the description.

Child, his grandson and the grandson’s friend then traveled with an Airway Heights police officer to where deputies were holding the suspect. Sitting inside Child’s pickup about 50 yards away, the three watched as deputies removed the man from a patrol vehicle and had him face them.

"The only thing I could really identify on him was his build and what he was wearing," Child said. "There was no question in any of our minds that was the individual we saw."

PALISADES FIRE SUSPECT DISPLAYED 'INCEL ENERGY,' MADE WOMAN UNCOMFORTABLE DURING UBER RIDE: PASSENGER

Authorities later arrested Aaron F. Farinacci on suspicion of first-degree arson, accusing him of intentionally setting the Old Trails Fire, the largest of three wildfires that destroyed hundreds of buildings and forced about 67,000 people to evacuate.

Child said the family did not learn until the following day that deputies had initially released Farinacci before arresting him after investigators developed additional evidence.

Court records reviewed by Fox News Digital show Farinacci was previously charged with first-degree murder after fatally shooting his father during an argument in Arizona in 2010. He later pleaded guilty to reduced charges of manslaughter and aggravated assault, served about eight years in prison and was released in 2020.

Learning about Farinacci’s criminal history turned the family’s initial relief into concern, Child said.

"He knew where I lived," Child said. "Then to come to find out what his history was, it’s kind of like ... this dude could have come back down here."

Child said the man initially caught his attention because strangers rarely venture onto the family’s road. The county permanently closed the dead-end stretch several years ago, leaving only two homes beyond the barricade.

"There hasn’t been a lot of trespassing now," Child said. "If we see somebody down there, a lot of times we take it upon ourselves to pull up and say, ‘Are you OK?’ ... Nine times out of 10, they’re gone after that."

Dillon said anyone lingering near the tracks would immediately stand out to the family.

"There’s only two houses on this street," she said. "If anyone is on this street, we most always call Crime Check. No one should be on this road. It’s a closed road. Anyone standing and kneeling down by the train tracks that’s not a city worker is a red flag."

While Child’s observations helped point investigators toward a suspect, retired Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives executive Scott Sweetow said eyewitness accounts are only the beginning of a wildfire arson investigation.

Fire investigators must first determine where a blaze started before they can establish how it ignited, Sweetow told Fox News Digital. That requires them to work backward from the aftermath, examine how the terrain and vegetation burned and eliminate plausible accidental causes.

"Arson fire in general is very hard to investigate," Sweetow said. "It requires a very meticulous focused effort that is not present in a lot of other investigations. And what complicates it is the fact that the evidence that you have to examine is often badly damaged by fire."

Investigators can reconstruct a fire’s earliest moments using witness accounts, video, cellphone data, first-responder observations and physical evidence. They also examine potential causes such as lightning, power infrastructure, trains, discarded smoking materials or other ignition sources.

That process can allow investigators to determine that a person started a fire even when no single item definitively establishes how it began, Sweetow said.

"It’s not magic. The grass doesn’t just burst into flame for no reason," Sweetow said. "So by eliminating all the causes that weren’t you figure out the cause that was, if that makes sense."

Sweetow cautioned against placing too much weight on any single piece of evidence, including investigators’ claim that Farinacci was carrying waterproof matches and a butane lighter when deputies first contacted him.

He said windproof and waterproof matches are more specialized than ordinary paper or wooden matches and are designed to remain lit in conditions that could extinguish a conventional match. Investigators would likely look for remnants of the same type of match near the fire’s point of origin, he said.

"They’re very expensive. And they’re designed really almost like a little portable flare," Sweetow said.

The matches and lighter would still need to be considered alongside witness statements, physical evidence, electronic records and forensic findings. Sweetow said wildfire arson cases often depend on the combined weight of numerous facts rather than one decisive piece of evidence.

SEND US A TIP

He also said the decision to release Farinacci before arresting him after further investigation was not inherently unusual, particularly in a fast-moving emergency in which deputies were focused on evacuations and investigators had not yet completed their work.

"I wouldn’t say it’s particularly unusual, it just seems like good police and investigator work to put the case together," Sweetow said.

LISTEN TO THE NEW 'CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO' PODCAST

Court records show fire investigators later concluded the blaze originated where Child reported seeing the man. They ruled out trains and nearby electrical infrastructure before determining the fire was consistent with dry grass being ignited by an open flame from a match or lighter.

Eric Adams battles tense crowd as Wisconsin audience erupts over AI data center proposal

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 07:56:39 -0400

Former New York City Mayor Eric Adams struggled to get a word in as a Wisconsin audience bombarded him with boos and insults while he pitched the crowd on a proposed AI data center.

Adams was told he belongs "in prison" amid a barrage of fierce heckles during a wild eight-minute exchange that showed residents repeatedly interrupting the former mayor over his support for the proposed data center.

"You belong in prison!" one crowd member shouted, seemingly referencing Adams’ dismissed federal corruption case.

TEXAS GOV GREG ABBOTT EFFECTIVELY PAUSES NEW DATA CENTER PROJECTS PENDING STATEWIDE GRID AUDIT

Since leaving office, Adams has worked as a "pitchman" for several real estate-related technology companies, according to The Real Deal. He said he closes about 80% of the deals he pursues.

Adams appeared at the Wisconsin meeting on behalf of PNK Group, which is looking to develop a 209-acre data center at a former paper mill along the Wisconsin River.

"Whether we like it or not, folks, data centers are going to be here," Adams told the audience.

Many Wisconsin residents in the crowd opposed the proposal and let Adams know it throughout his presentation.

"You’re here to steal our water!" one resident shouted.

"Get out of here!" another resident shrieked.

"Put it in your backyard!" yet another said.

"Anyone can heckle, but not everybody can communicate," Adams said in response.

Adams offered to answer questions about the data center and engage in what he called a "dialogue."

The former NYC mayor urged the crowd to stop the "hate on technology," defending his stance with a personal anecdote, in which he said AI helped his doctor in his Type 2 diabetes diagnosis.

The audience, again, erupted in a loud chant of boos.

Adams attempted to regain the stage and tame the angry crowd. And although one audience member came to his defense, saying, "Let him talk!," he struggled to speak over the crowd of critics.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Adams’ chief communications officer Todd Shapiro said Hell Gate, which first reported the story, got the facts "wrong."

"A short video clip cannot accurately portray an event that lasted much longer," Shapiro wrote in part. "It omits the many attendees who approached Mayor Adams afterward to thank him, ask questions, and express appreciation for his willingness to engage directly with the community."

Shapiro also said Adams' support in proposing the Wisconsin data center is "helping communities better understand the economic opportunities that responsible AI and data center development can bring."

"Eric Adams has consistently supported policies that encourage responsible investment, create good-paying jobs, strengthen local tax bases, and position American communities to compete in the industries of the future," Shapiro told Fox News Digital.

FDA widens cyclospora outbreak investigation to six more states as confirmed cases top 6,000

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 07:38:51 -0400

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) expanded its investigation of the cyclospora outbreak on Wednesday, announcing that there are thousands of confirmed cases across more than a dozen states.

The intestinal illness was first reported in July among people who developed severe diarrhea after eating shredded lettuce at Taco Bell. Health authorities later traced the outbreak to contaminated lettuce supplied to the fast-food restaurant by Taylor Farms de Mexico.

"Due to the additional interview data, the outbreak now includes people who reported exposure to Taco Bell or recalled Taylor Farms de Mexico iceberg lettuce," the FDA said in a news release.

According to the FDA, 6,358 cases have now been reported across 15 states. Six states — Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire and North Carolina — were added since the administration’s previous update on July 24.

CYCLOSPORA OUTBREAK: IS IT STILL SAFE TO EAT AT RESTAURANTS? HERE'S WHAT TO KNOW

The FDA said the outbreak began on June 22, nearly a month before Taylor Farms de Mexico voluntarily recalled all lettuce sourced from central Mexico on July 17.

Since then, cyclosporiasis has been linked to 278 hospitalizations and two deaths in Michigan, according to the FDA.

"We also expect to continue to see the number of confirmed cases rise, despite the recall, due to the fact that it can take as long as six weeks for CDC and state officials to determine if a sick person is part of this outbreak," the FDA said.

SENATE CONFIRMS NEW CDC DIRECTOR AS DIARRHEA-CAUSING PARASITE OUTBREAK SWEEPS US

Cyclospora is a single-celled parasite that can cause stomach cramps, nausea, fatigue, weight loss and other health problems, though some infected people remain asymptomatic, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Symptoms usually begin about one week after being infected and can last for a few days to a month, according to the CDC. Symptoms can also appear to go away before returning one or more times.

The FDA again urged consumers and retailers to throw away contaminated lettuce, including Marketside-branded products sold in grocery stores across 27 states in early July.

Health officials also recommend sanitizing any surfaces that came into contact with the lettuce and contacting a doctor if symptoms develop after eating it.

Trump's decade of assassination threats runs from Butler shooting to latest golf club breach

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 07:30:41 -0400

President Donald Trump’s decade in national politics has been continuously haunted by gunshots, armed stalkers and thwarted plots.

Two years after surviving a sniper's bullet in Butler, Pennsylvania, the president continues to navigate an unprecedented series of assassination attempts.

From his early campaign trail to the most recent security breach at Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, the president has been threatened by a steady stream of danger throughout his second term.

TWO YEARS AFTER BUTLER, THREATS AGAINST TRUMP KEEP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT IN SHARP FOCUS

Las Vegas, Nevada — June 18, 2016

Michael Steven Sandford, a British national, tried to pull a Las Vegas police officer’s handgun from its holster while then-candidate Trump spoke at a campaign rally.

According to court documents, Sandford told investigators he had traveled to Las Vegas intending to kill Trump and had practiced firing a rented handgun at a shooting range the previous day. Officers immediately subdued him, and no one was injured.

Sandford pleaded guilty to federal firearm and disruption charges and was sentenced to 12 months and one day in prison.

Mandan, North Dakota — Sept. 6, 2017

Gregory Lee Leingang stole a forklift and drove it into a restricted area near the route planned for Trump’s motorcade before the president’s appearance at a refinery.

Prosecutors said Leingang intended to use the forklift to overturn the presidential limousine and kill Trump.

The forklift became stuck inside a gated area before the motorcade arrived, and Leingang abandoned it and fled on foot. He was arrested and later pleaded guilty to federal charges stemming from the security breach.

Washington, D.C. — September 2020

Pascale Ferrier mailed a threatening letter containing homemade ricin to Trump at the White House during the 2020 presidential campaign. The envelope was intercepted at a mail-sorting facility before it reached the White House, and Trump was not exposed to the deadly toxin.

Ferrier also sent ricin letters to eight law enforcement officials in Texas and was arrested at the U.S.-Canada border with a loaded gun and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.

She pleaded guilty to violating federal biological weapons laws and was sentenced to 262 months in prison.

Butler, Pennsylvania — July 13, 2024

Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire from a rooftop outside the rally’s security perimeter as Trump addressed supporters near Butler.

The gunfire wounded Trump in his right ear, killed rally attendee Corey Comperatore and seriously injured David Dutch and James Copenhaver.

A Secret Service counter-sniper killed Crooks seconds after the shooting began.

TWO MEN SHOT AT TRUMP'S BUTLER RALLY SUE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OVER SECRET SERVICE 'PREVENTABLE FAILURES'

West Palm Beach, Florida — Sept. 15, 2024

Ryan Wesley Routh concealed himself in brush along the fence of Trump’s golf course while the then-presidential candidate played nearby. A Secret Service agent scouting ahead of Trump spotted Routh’s rifle and opened fire, causing Routh to flee without firing a shot.

Authorities arrested him on Interstate 95 and recovered a loaded, scoped rifle, armor plates, a camera and other evidence from the fence line.

A federal jury convicted Routh of attempted assassination and related charges in September 2025, and a judge sentenced him in February 2026 to life plus seven years in prison.

US pauses government operations in cartel-ridden Mexican state

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 07:20:06 -0400

The U.S. State Department said a "threat against American interests" forced the United States to suspend all of its government activities in a Mexican state where visitors face a risk of violence "from terrorist groups, cartels, gangs and criminal organizations."

The warning from the U.S. Embassy & Consulates in Mexico about the state of Michoacan, which is located west of Mexico City, includes a halt to the inspections of avocados required for their export, according to The Associated Press.

"Due to a threat against American interests, U.S. government activities in Michoacan State have been suspended as of August 5," the message read. "Reminder that the U.S. travel advisory designates Michoacan as a Level 4 ‘Do Not Travel’ area."

While the U.S. Embassy did not specify the nature of the threat in its security alert, Michoacan Gov. Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla said on social media that a temporary halt to avocado inspections was intended to safeguard workers following recent arrests linked to alleged extortion, the AP reported.

5 MEXICAN CARTEL BOSSES CHARGED IN WEAPONS, DRUG TRAFFICKING, TIMESHARE FRAUD SCHEMES, DOJ SAYS

The western state of Michoacan is the leading exporter of avocados to the U.S. and has a high level of organized crime activity with at least four cartels — designated as terrorist organizations by the Trump administration — operating in the region. Besides trafficking drugs, cartels also make money through extortion, including in the avocado industry.

The State Department warns Americans to "exercise increased caution" throughout Mexico due to "terrorism, crime, and kidnapping."

For Michoacan state, it said, "There is a risk of violence in the state from terrorist groups, cartels, gangs and criminal organizations."

Michoacan State Security Secretary Antonio Cruz told the AP that one of the arrests mentioned by the governor was of "El Poncho," the alias of Alfonso Fernández Magallón, leader of a local cartel operating in the avocado-growing region around Los Reyes.

U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ronald Johnson welcomed the arrest, which came over the weekend. The U.S. government had offered a $5 million reward.

Cruz said his department was unaware of any direct incidents involving the avocado inspectors. However, 300 security personnel were deployed to the Los Reyes area as a preventive measure.

The governor said the priority was to "ensure the security conditions necessary for these operations to resume normally," as has happened in the past.

In 2025, Mexico sold $3.65 billion worth of avocados to the United States, and in the first four months of this year, those exports rose by 35% compared to the same period in the previous year.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture sends inspectors into Mexico to monitor plantations and packing houses to ensure that exported produce is free of pests. Threats and violence against the inspectors have caused the U.S. to suspend inspections in the past.

Coco Gauff appears to support WTA efforts to protect sport's fairness, laments 'attack' on trans community

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 07:19:11 -0400

American tennis star Coco Gauff addressed the Women’s Tennis Association’s (WTA) SRY gene-testing policy to protect fair competition in the sport.

Gauff appeared to back the new policy meant to keep males out of the women’s game, but also made clear she was in support of the transgender community.

"I understand the reasoning behind it," she said of the WTA’s policy. "I do think that this kind of conversation has created a lot of animosity toward the trans community, which I'm not really a big fan of, but I also understand the biological difference and the need to protect that and preserve that. So, I think it's a conversation that is very nuanced and I need to have a nuanced answer.

"Yes, I guess I kind of agree with trying to protect the fairness in women's sports. But I also do not like the attack that it is creating (for) people who don't really care, but just want to use this as a reason to attack the trans community. So, I'm not really a big fan of that either. I don't really know how to answer this question in a way that people aren't going to spin it. But as far as where I stand, I definitely support the trans community, but I also support the need of creating fairness in sport too."

Gauff spoke after she defeated Kayla Day in the first round of the National Open in Toronto.

Gauff’s comments follow similar support given by No. 1 women’s tennis player Aryna Sabalenka.

"I think it's really important to keep the fairness in our tour," Sabalenka said. "Biologically, men are way stronger than women, so I feel like it would not really be fair for women to compete against biological men."

The WTA’s updated women’s eligibility policy requires players to undergo a one-time screening for the SRY gene, which is found on the Y chromosome and is involved in male-typical sex development. Testing can be completed through a simple cheek swab, blood test or saliva sample.

Players who test negative for the SRY gene will be immediately eligible to compete on the WTA Tour. A positive result will prompt further medical assessment before a player can be cleared.

Players must also sign documentation acknowledging that refusing to undergo testing could result in disciplinary action.

"The WTA’s women’s eligibility policy is designed to promote equal athletic opportunities in women’s professional tennis and maintain fair competition for all players participating in WTA tournaments," the official policy states.

The WTA said the policy was approved following consultation with its members and a review of evolving eligibility standards throughout international women’s sports.

Iran’s deepest weakness is getting exposed through America’s maximum pressure campaign

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 07:00:57 -0400

The United States finds itself in a protracted standoff with the Islamic Republic of Iran – which, in many respects, it has been in for decades. The difference this time is the opportunity to do lasting damage to the regime’s pursuit of regional domination and end its 47-year-old assault on core U.S. national interests.

In the past few weeks, President Donald Trump has rightly opted for a policy of exerting economic pain on the regime and its sources of funding. The Treasury Department has unveiled a slew of strident measures to further squeeze Iran’s access to revenues from oil sales.

These measures include sanctions targeting Chinese, Indian and other third-country oil brokers and tanker operators. Treasury has also gone after operators behind Iran’s "shadow fleet" and illicit Iranian financial networks.

TRUMP'S 60-DAY IRAN DEAL REACHES HALFWAY MARK AS CEASEFIRE COLLAPSES INTO ESCALATING WAR

America’s economic pressure on the regime is backed up by the U.S. Navy’s blockade of Iranian ports, involving over 20 warships and hundreds of military aircraft, and costing Iran tens of millions of dollars every day.

Crucially, this "maximum pressure" strategy is underpinned by the use of tactical yet large-scale air strikes and other military measures designed to do additional damage to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and other military targets across Iran. Its goal is to keep the regime in Tehran on its back heels while intermediaries (such as the Pakistani and Qatari governments) pursue efforts to reach a deal on a sustainable cessation of hostilities.

This diplomacy is a necessary part of the standoff that has pulled in Iran’s neighbors, many of whom are still reeling from the shock of being attacked by Iranian ballistic missiles and drones.

However, based on the regime’s defiance and unwillingness to open the Strait of Hormuz in June and July – even after Trump agreed to a ceasefire under a "memorandum of understanding" that was widely considered to be quite advantageous to Iran – it is unlikely that diplomacy will succeed in achieving a lasting end to the conflict.

TRUMP WARNS IRAN FIGHTING ISN'T OVER AS HE VOWS US WILL 'WIN' AS TALKS FADE

The IRGC generals now running Iran will almost certainly violate both the terms and the spirit of any agreement or understanding – as Iran did in a variety of ways in the years following the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

The most important element of the U.S. "maximum pressure" campaign, therefore, is what it means for the Iranian regime itself. Iran’s economy was in tatters, even before the joint U.S.-Israeli air campaign initiated on February 28 inflicted close to $150 billion of damage.

Years of egregious economic mismanagement and rampant corruption – notably by IRGC generals and their thugs – contributed to no less than four mass protest movements in Iran since 2018. It is easy to forget that the largest of these crescendoed in January of this year, when Iran’s then-rulers ordered security forces to open fire on men, women and children marching in numerous cities and towns across Iran.

Thousands of people – possibly tens of thousands – were slaughtered by their own government. The regime continues to hang young Iranians on a daily basis for their participation in those protests, and, equally importantly, to try to scare Iranians from taking to the streets again – a sign of innate weakness on the part of regime leaders, if not fear.

IRAN HANGS 2 PROTESTERS IN PUBLIC, CROWD CRIES 'DISHONORABLE' AS SECURITY FIRES TEAR GAS

Meanwhile, the regime’s upper echelons are in disarray. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed along with 40 of Iran’s most senior military commanders during the opening salvos of Operations Epic Fury and Roaring Lion. Iran is ostensibly led by a supreme leader who hasn’t been seen in public since he was seriously wounded on February 28. But it’s increasingly clear that IRGC generals are calling the shots – and are at odds with civilians in the government tasked with reaching an agreement with the United States.

Many of these men are literally running scared. They know that the Mossad has penetrated Iran’s national security apparatus and likely has the ability to target senior IRGC and other officials – as it did with devastating effectiveness last summer and six months ago. None of this bodes well for regime coherence and coordination.

Nobody knows when the Iranian people will rise up again. But the economic crisis is deepening, and, under Trump’s "maximum pressure" campaign, the situation could come to a boil. Will Iranian policemen keep getting their paychecks? Will they open fire on their neighbors’ kids when they take to the streets again?

Regime collapse could lead to a period of upheaval; the United States and its regional partners need to be prepared for that. But it’s a reckoning that is all but inevitable: Few governments in the world are as deeply despised by their own people; and the corrupt IRGC’s hold on power makes a mockery of the Islamic Republic’s religious foundations.

The Trump administration can hasten the regime’s demise by maintaining the economic squeeze on oil reserves, keeping up tactical military and covert pressure on IRGC centers of power and funding, and expanding support for activists inside Iran. President Trump could then rightly take credit for helping usher in a new Middle East.

Trump's endorsement collides with $1.3M effort to oust House ally

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 07:00:55 -0400

A key congressional primary race will serve as a test of President Donald Trump's political weight on Thursday night.

Voters in Tennessee's 5th Congressional District are headed to the polls to decide between Trump-backed Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., and Republican Charlie Hatcher, the former state agriculture commissioner, who scored an 11th-hour endorsement from Gov. Bill Lee on Tuesday evening.

Ogles, one of Trump's most vocal allies in Congress, is seeking a third term representing the Middle Tennessee district, which includes part of the Nashville suburbs. Hatcher is the state's former Agriculture commissioner under Lee, and served as Tennessee State Veterinarian before that under both Democrat and Republican administrations.

"I'm not really surprised at all. You know, they're friends," Ogles said of Lee endorsing his rival.

GOP GOVERNOR ENDORSES CANDIDATE CHALLENGING TRUMP-BACKED CONGRESSMAN IN REPUBLICAN US HOUSE PRIMARY

He argued that his endorsements, including Trump and House GOP leaders, prove that he's the more conservative choice in the race.

"The golden endorsement that anyone wants is that of President Trump's, which I have. And I think Trump has really done a good job of making sure that he's choosing conservatives in races, which is also why I have the endorsement of [House Speaker] Mike Johnson, you know, conservative stalwart. [House Judiciary Committee Chair] Jim Jordan has endorsed me," Ogles said.

"And so you just go down the list of my endorsements, it's that of the conservatives, whereas my opponent has less conservative folks, shall we say, endorsing him."

TOP TRUMP ALLY WARNS SUPER PAC BANKROLLED BY DEM BILLIONAIRE IS MEDDLING IN GOP PRIMARY

And having Trump's backing is not a small edge in deep red Tennessee, which Trump won by double digits in 2024. He bested Vice President Kamala Harris by roughly 18 points in Tennessee's 5th Congressional District that year.

But despite that and his incumbency advantage, Ogles has still faced a tough race this year with a clean energy super PAC spending more than $1 million to unseat him.

The Invest in Tomorrow Coalition super PAC spent roughly $1.3 million against Ogles and in favor of Hatcher. The group boasts billionaire Chris Larsen as a top donor, who also previously donated to Harris' presidential campaign.

Ogles is a member of the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus, whose members have built a reputation as being thorns in the side of House GOP leaders.

TRUMP-BACKED REPUBLICAN ADVANCES TO FACE VULNERABLE DEMOCRAT IN KEY HOUSE BATTLEGROUND

But Ogles, for the most part, has avoided that label. He instead acted as a key liaison between Johnson and his right flank on several pieces of legislation, which has apparently earned the Louisiana Republican's loyalty in response.

Johnson spoke in support of Ogles at a tele-rally on Tuesday night, warning that he was the best choice against Democrats who would take the country down a "dark, dangerous, deadly road to communism" should they win in November.

"I think everybody who's listening to our voices tonight understands we have a fateful midterm election coming up," Johnson said. "We have to keep and maintain and grow the republican majority in the House, and Andy Ogles is a key part of this majority."

The House speaker also lauded Ogles as one of his top negotiators on extending Trump's tax cuts in the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act earlier this year, as well as other measures.

"We're working with a one or two vote margin, and at the end of the day, when things are tight, Andy Ogles is one of the members who's a small handful of guys who helps deliver the vote," Johnson said. "He helps me, he's my agent on the floor, you know, he's making sure that we corral the votes and get these things done. So he has an outsized influence in Congress, and he's a critical member of this team."

Lee said in a video released Tuesday night that he and Hatcher have been friends for 25 years and that he's "stood with President Trump since day one," touting him as a conservative with strong right-wing values.

Hatcher thanked Lee for his endorsement on Facebook and added, "In Congress, I will work hard, serve people, and get the job done by pursuing sensible, problem-solving solutions. I will defend our conservative values, support President Trump’s agenda, and fight to lower the cost of living for Tennessee families."

But despite Lee invoking Trump in his endorsement, the pair have notably split on a Republican primary race once before. Trump endorsed Republican Bobby Harshbarger for a state Senate seat over a Lee-backed incumbent in 2024. Harshbarger ultimately won, and Trump denounced Lee as a "RINO" in a Truth Social post afterward.

Nancy Guthrie's Tucson neighborhood searched again after monsoon shifts landscape, neighbor says

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 07:00:54 -0400

TUCSON, Ariz. — A neighbor of Nancy Guthrie's in the Catalina Foothills tells Fox News Digital she saw the FBI return to search the brush behind the missing 84-year-old's home days before her unsolved disappearance reached the six-month mark.

While a spokesperson for the Pima County Sheriff's Department said that no task force investigators had returned to the area recently, the neighbor said she recognized faces from earlier law enforcement activity in the neighborhood connected to the case. The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The neighbor, who lives just a few doors down, reported seeing them combing through the desert brush.

Guthrie, the mother of "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie, is believed to have been taken by force from her home in the early hours of Feb. 1, according to authorities.

NANCY GUTHRIE CASE POINTS TO CRIMINAL UNDERWORLD 'WRENCH ATTACK' THEORY, RETIRED DETECTIVE SAYS

Bob Krygier, a retired Pima County Sheriff's Department lieutenant and former SWAT commander, said there are a few reasons why investigators would return to the area, ranging from new leads to the chance that evidence has been shifted around by recent weather.

"There's a couple of different reasons that go through my mind first is going to be they got some leads, they got some new tips that are viable, and they're out there looking for something specific or in an area specific to that, because I'm certain that they've searched those areas already," he told Fox News Digital.

It could also be that, six months into the investigation, authorities are putting a fresh set of eyes on the case, he said.

And heavy rains may also have altered the landscape, potentially exposing or moving evidence investigators hadn't previously seen, he said.

Inside America's laser revolution as the military nears big battlefield breakthrough

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 07:00:46 -0400

For decades, laser weapons have represented one of the Pentagon's most ambitious technological goals — promising to shoot down enemy drones and missiles at the speed of light without expending costly interceptors.

Now, after years of testing and false starts, the Army appears poised to take its biggest step yet toward making that vision a battlefield reality.

The Army is nearing a contract award for the Enduring High Energy Laser (E-HEL), a system that, if fielded as expected, would represent the service's first laser weapon to transition into a permanent operational capability.

The development comes as the Pentagon races to adapt to a new era of warfare in which inexpensive drones can overwhelm traditional air defenses and force militaries to expend missile interceptors costing hundreds of thousands — or even millions — of dollars. If fielded, the E-HEL would mark a significant step toward giving U.S. forces a new way to counter those threats without relying solely on costly kinetic weapons.

PENTAGON CONSOLIDATES DRONE OVERSIGHT AS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION PUSHES RAPID UNMANNED WARFARE EXPANSION

In July, Army acquisition chief Lt. Gen. Frank Lozano said the service was negotiating a contract with AeroVironment for the E-HEL, describing it as the Army's first program of record for a family of high-energy laser systems. He said the technology had shown "a lot of recent promise and capability" during testing at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.

A source with knowledge of the program told Fox News Digital the Army is nearing a contract award, though negotiations are continuing and nothing has been finalized.

The Army's move is not happening in isolation.

In July, the Air Force disclosed it is using the compact laser weapon system at multiple locations overseas to defend against drones. The Navy, meanwhile, has spent years testing its high-energy laser with integrated optical-dazzler and surveillance (HELIOS) aboard destroyers, gradually integrating directed-energy weapons into fleet operations.

Together, the developments suggest the Pentagon may be entering a new phase for directed-energy weapons after decades of research and billions of dollars in investment.

The U.S. is not alone in pursuing the technology. Israel has begun deploying its Iron Beam laser air defense system — developed with significant U.S. support — to counter rockets, mortars and drones, while China has publicly showcased a growing range of military laser systems and counter-drone weapons as it expands its own directed-energy capabilities.

Even so, the War Department has spent decades pursuing laser weapons, with many early U.S. programs struggling with technical hurdles ranging from power generation and beam control to thermal management and reliability in operational environments.

"It's not about the laser anymore," Tom Karako, director of the Missile Defense Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told Fox News Digital. "It's all these other things that make it workable as a weapon system" — from ensuring it can withstand dust, heat and bad weather to developing doctrine, training operators and maintaining the systems in the field.

And because laser beams can continue traveling well beyond their intended target, the military also must ensure they do not inadvertently illuminate satellites or other aircraft, one reason integrating the technology into everyday operations has proven more complicated than simply building a powerful laser.

The shift has been driven in large part by the rapid proliferation of inexpensive drones across battlefields in Ukraine, the Middle East and the Red Sea, forcing militaries to rethink how they defend against increasingly cheap aerial threats.

Even as lasers move closer to operational use, they are unlikely to replace traditional missile defenses.

Unlike missiles, which can travel over the horizon to engage distant threats, lasers are largely line-of-sight weapons, meaning they can only strike targets they can directly "see."

US DRAINS CRITICAL MISSILE STOCKPILES IN IRAN WAR AS YEARSLONG REBUILD LOOMS

"It's great for when that drone is coming in on top of you," Karako said. "But it's more difficult to be able to get past the horizon."

That means lasers are expected to become another layer of the Pentagon's air defense architecture rather than a replacement for kinetic interceptors. Missiles will still be needed to engage threats at long distances and in adverse conditions, while lasers are likely to be most effective against drones and other aerial threats that have already entered a defended area.

The Army is also pursuing a next-generation counter-drone missile expected to cost less than $150,000 per interceptor, part of a broader effort to expand lower-cost options for defeating unmanned aircraft.

Lasers are only one piece of the Pentagon's broader directed-energy push. The military also is testing high-powered microwave systems such as Epirus' Leonidas, which are designed to defend against one of the battlefield's fastest-growing threats: swarms of inexpensive drones.

Rather than relying on a kinetic interceptor, high-powered microwaves use bursts of electromagnetic energy to disrupt the electronics of multiple nearby unmanned aircraft simultaneously.

The Pentagon also is investing in radio-frequency technologies capable of jamming communications between drones and their operators or interfering with satellite navigation signals, potentially causing unmanned aircraft to lose control.

Holy Land discovery reveals ancient charred relics from one of Jerusalem's darkest chapters

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 07:00:34 -0400

Archaeologists recently uncovered charred wooden beams in Jerusalem dating back roughly 2,600 years — likely remnants of the destruction of Solomon's Temple.

The discovery, which was found beneath a parking lot in the City of David, was announced by the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) in July.

IAA officials said the wood was found "within a building that collapsed by the intense fire at the time of the First Temple's destruction."

'SIGNIFICANT' EARLY CHRISTIAN CHURCH EMERGES BENEATH FORMER FISH MARKET IN ANCIENT CITY

Their statement added, "What likely preserved the beams for approximately 2,600 years was plaster that melted from the building's walls, sealing the burnt wood beneath it."

Solomon's Temple, also called the First Temple, was destroyed by Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar II in 586 B.C., after his army captured Jerusalem following a lengthy siege.

It was originally built by King Solomon in the 10th century B.C. as the permanent house for the Ark of the Covenant, according to Scripture.

The destruction of Solomon's Temple ushered in the Second Temple period, the era of Judaism in which Jesus lived and practiced.

ANCIENT BOOK OF REVELATION CITY GIVES UP STUNNING SECRET BURIED FOR 1,500 YEARS

Efrat Bocher, an excavation director, said that the beams "appear to have served as the roof of an inner courtyard."

"During the destruction, they collapsed onto the floor," Bocher said in a statement.

"We believe that the plaster cladding of the building's walls, melted by the fire, covered the charred wooden beams, and ultimately enabled their exceptional preservation."

The beams contain an unusually high number of growth rings, giving researchers the potential to narrow their dating to within about a decade.

ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNEARTH ANCIENT TREASURE CACHE AT BIBLICAL CITY CONNECTED TO GENESIS

"It is very rare in Israel to find wood with such a large number of growth rings," said Johanna Regev, a radiocarbon dating expert at IAA.

"Here, in the City of David, we found thick beams with many rings, offering significant research potential — with more growth rings enabling higher dating resolution," she noted, according to the IAA.

Regev added, "Until now, we could date finds within a range of hundreds of years. Now we can attain much greater precision, narrowing the dating range down to as little as 10 years."

Interestingly, experts believe Jerusalem's residents likely chose to preserve the memory of the destruction by leaving the ruins in place.

"Preserving memory is a human need, seeking to preserve what once existed," excavation director Yiftah Shalev said in a statement.

"Here we see it in its clearest form: a deliberate choice to leave ruins in place as a testament to the destruction and build the new layer over them."

In a statement, Bocher called the discovery "deeply moving."

It "makes you feel that you are witnessing the very moment of destruction, the moment when it all happened," she said.

Socialist frontrunner’s tradition-trashing holiday rants come back to bite her: ‘Worst of humanity comes out’

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 07:00:01 -0400

Wisconsin state Rep. Francesca Hong may be leading the Democratic gubernatorial primary, but resurfaced social media posts suggest she has a problem with some of America’s biggest holidays.

Hong, a dues-paying member of the Democratic Socialists of America, has recently drawn considerable flak for stating in a November 2020 post that the country should "cancel Thanksgiving" in order to "stop celebrating colonialism and the original superspreader event that killed Indegenous [sic.] folx and women." A comment she has since walked back amid backlash, claiming that it's her "favorite holiday."

Less discussed, however, are her complaints about other popular American holidays.

"I miss working in a restaurant every day...except on VDay," she posted on Valentine's Day 2022. "As if we weren't invisible enough to those who don't recognize the emotional & physical labor of service work, the worst of humanity comes out from folks 'celebrating' on another day capitalism tells you how to show love."

SOCIALIST FRONTRUNNER IN THE HOT SEAT AFTER 'CANCEL THANKSGIVING' POST EMERGES ONLINE

Figures on the left have long challenged traditional holidays such as Thanksgiving, Independence Day and Columbus Day over their historical associations. But Hong’s yearslong trail of posts criticizing or dismissing several major celebrations is drawing fresh scrutiny as she campaigns to lead a swing-state battleground.

"I don't allow myself to work Halloween weekend or the day of," Hong wrote in 2019. "I would actually ask every single person in costume to leave."

Six years later, she made another post telling her followers that they could ask her anything but noting that the "only subject off limits is Halloween."

"Not my thing," she added.

Conservative and liberal commentators alike have posted pictures of the Grinch in response to Hong’s old posts, suggesting that she has a hatred of holidays. One anonymous user accused her of "grinchmaxxing."

Hong also doesn’t seem to be a fan of one of America’s most iconic holiday celebrations.

"Why isn't there a curfew on fireworks?" she wrote in the early morning hours of July 5, 2020.

"I do not enjoy fireworks," she said on June 29, 2019.

"If Francesca Hong had the explicit goal to attack storied institutions in order to turn off as many normal people as possible, she wouldn’t be doing anything different," Republican commentator Steve Guest wrote on social media.

Though some have claimed Hong has a distaste for Christmas, pointing to a post where she felt "slightly attacked" when someone changed her computer background to a Christmas tree, she has also made multiple posts celebrating the holiday.

Conservatives have long accused Democrats of waging a "war on Christmas," a charge liberals deny.

While many are poking fun at Hong for her distaste toward holidays, others find it relatable.

"Tbh this doesn’t make me dislike her at all, she has character," Las Vegas DSA member Val Thomason wrote on X. "Like ‘oh you know Fran, she hates holidays.’"

Popular smoothie ingredient may reduce one key health benefit, study suggests

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 06:00:29 -0400

Bananas are a smoothie staple, but a viral social media video has raised questions about whether they could reduce the nutritional benefits of other ingredients, such as blueberries.

In a July appearance on the "Mel Robbins Podcast," Dr. Rhonda Patrick, a biomedical scientist and founder of FoundMyFitness, demonstrated how she likes to make her smoothies, which do not include bananas.

Bananas contain polyphenol oxidase (PPO), an enzyme that can break down polyphenols, which are beneficial for gut, heart and brain health, according to Patrick, who is based in San Diego. PPO is also responsible for turning cut fruit brown.

DOCTORS SAY 8 FORGOTTEN HABITS COULD HELP FIGHT STRESS, OBESITY AND CHRONIC DISEASE

Recent studies suggest that when a banana is added to a blueberry smoothie, fewer beneficial polyphenols are absorbed from the berries.

Instead, Patrick uses avocado to give the smoothie the same creamy texture with 95% less sugar, she said. Avocado also adds more vitamins and monounsaturated fat, which can increase absorption of carotenoids, like lutein and zeaxanthin, from kale in the smoothie.

This opinion sparked debate in the online nutrition community, with some dietitians and nutritionists arguing that bananas should not be villainized based on a small body of research.

STUDY FINDS SPECIAL TOMATO DRINK MAY REDUCE INFLAMMATION IN ADULTS WITH OBESITY

The study Patrick referenced, which was published in the journal Food & Function in 2023, analyzed food absorption in eight healthy men.

On separate days, participants drank either a banana smoothie (high in an enzyme called polyphenol oxidase), drank a mixed berry smoothie (low in the enzyme) or took flavan-3-ol capsules (dietary supplements that contain concentrated plant compounds) with milk.

Blood tests showed that people absorbed about 84% fewer beneficial plant compounds after drinking the banana smoothie than after taking the flavan-3-ol capsules.

While researchers didn't test a banana-blueberry smoothie, the results suggest that bananas could reduce the benefits of foods high in flavan-3-ols.

LIVING LONGER COULD HINGE ON SURPRISING DIETARY CHANGE, STUDY REVIEW SUGGESTS

Los Angeles-based registered dietitian nutritionist Ilana Muhlstein, author of the upcoming book "Beyond the Shot," said the findings are "interesting," but don't tell the whole story.

"It doesn't mean the smoothie loses all of its health benefits," she said. "You're still getting fiber from the banana, and many other beneficial nutrients from polyphenol-rich fruits."

Muhlstein pointed out that the study included only eight participants and has not yet been replicated. She also noted that researchers used a standardized cocoa-derived flavanol supplement instead of whole fruits, such as berries, which may be absorbed differently by the body.

In a follow-up post on Instagram, responding to the backlash from the original post, Patrick said, "You can add bananas to your blueberry smoothies. However, you should know that you are going to degrade some of the polyphenols in those blueberries."

"Bananas are nutritious, I eat them, and this is not a reason to stop," she added in the caption. "But if your goal is to preserve as many of the berry polyphenols as possible, the chemistry matters."

Not every beneficial compound in blueberries will be eliminated by bananas, Patrick wrote, as the fruit contains many other polyphenols, including anthocyanins.

"This was a small study that should be replicated," she said. "But the magnitude of the effect was meaningful enough for me to consider when optimizing my smoothie."

New York-based certified holistic nutritionist Robin DeCicco agreed that the findings don't mean everyone should avoid bananas.

Unlike well-established advice to limit processed meats and added sugar, the guidance on bananas is more nuanced and doesn't apply to everyone, she told Fox News Digital.

As nutrition advice spreads on social media, DeCicco said it's important to remember that everyone's health needs are different and to consult a doctor before following online recommendations.

The broader issue, she noted, is that Americans aren’t eating enough nutrient-rich foods, like bananas and berries, and are instead consuming more processed foods that have been linked to chronic disease.

"That’s why Americans are fatter and sicker than they've ever been, so I think focus on that more," DeCicco advised. "It doesn't need to be so complicated all the time … If you're eating a banana instead of french fries, that's good."

Nutrition should be individualized, DeCicco said. Someone who eats mostly fast-food should focus on replacing processed foods with fruits and vegetables, while someone with a more advanced nutrition plan may benefit from limiting high-carb, high-sugar fruits like bananas.

For those trying to lose weight and balance blood sugar, choosing fruits that are lower in sugar and higher in fiber may help with these outcomes.

"It really [depends] on where you're coming from and what your health journey is," DeCicco said.

Those looking to maximize polyphenol intake can swap bananas for frozen zucchini, avocado or Greek yogurt in smoothies for the same creamy texture, Muhlstein added.

GOP dropout candidate puts 'communist' opponent on notice after stunning comeback win

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 06:30:06 -0400

A Michigan Republican who suspended his campaign, endorsed one of his opponents and then won the primary anyway is back on the trail — and promising to take the fight to Democratic Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet.

Tom Smith surfaced at a GOP unity brunch in Macomb County on Wednesday, when he declared that he was "running" for Michigan’s 8th Congressional District and told Republican activists he would need their help to unseat Rivet. Smith did not return Fox News Digital's inquiries about whether he would be resuming his campaign.

"My name is Tom Smith, and I’m running for the 8th Congressional District to unseat communist comrade Rivet," Smith said at a Republican unity brunch in Macomb County. "And I’ll need your help to do it."

REPUBLICAN WHO REPORTEDLY DROPPED OUT DEFEATS TRUMP'S PICK IN KEY SWING-DISTRICT PRIMARY

Meanwhile, in a statement to CNN, Smith reportedly said he was "humbled and honored" to be chosen to take the fight to Democrats in the November general election for Michigan's 8th Congressional District.

"I look forward to working with Speaker Johnson and the entire Republican team to expand our House majority and advance President Trump’s America First agenda to lower costs for working families and make America affordable again," Smith said.

After dropping out of the race last month, Smith put his support behind his contender in the race, Al Lemmo, who finished third in Tuesday's GOP primary behind Thomas and Trump-backed candidate Amir Hassan.

Hassan came in second to Thomas by a substantial margin, putting out a video posted to social media on Wednesday after his defeat declaring there were "no excuses."

"I fell short last night. I make no excuse. It was a tough race," Hassan said in the video, which appeared to be recorded from his car. "I know what God has in store for me – something greater, even if I can't see it right now and don't understand."

He subsequently congratulated his opponents, told his supporters he "looked forward to seeing [them] again," and said that despite his loss, "it's still time to flip the eighth."
