Conor McGregor's long-awaited Octagon return cut short by apparent knee injury seconds into UFC 329

Sun, 12 Jul 2026 00:38:11 -0400

Nearly five years after his last walk to the Octagon, Conor McGregor made his long-awaited UFC return Saturday night against fellow MMA star Max Holloway in the main event of UFC 329 in Las Vegas.

McGregor opened aggressively, attempting a running kick before throwing a head kick moments later. He appeared to slip on both tries. Holloway quickly capitalized after the second, taking top position and landing a right hand before McGregor was able to work his way back to his feet.

Moments later, McGregor hit the canvas again after trying to throw a kick with his right leg, which appeared to buckle underneath him.

The official inside the Octagon waved off the fight moments later, giving Holloway a TKO victory.

During the broadcast, UFC CEO Dana White pointed to a first-round replay that appeared to show the moment McGregor suffered the injury. The apparent injury was not to the same leg McGregor broke during his 2021 fight against Dustin Poirier, which led to a lengthy absence from the Octagon.

The loss extended McGregor’s long winless drought, with his last UFC victory coming by first-round TKO against Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone in January 2020.

JAKE PAUL'S BUSINESS PARTNER GIVES TIMELINE ON RETURN TO RING AFTER CAREER-THREATENING INJURY

McGregor earned a unanimous decision over Holloway in a featherweight clash in 2013, when neither was an MMA megastar. In the blink of an eye, McGregor’s star rose.

On Wednesday, he admitted he got caught up in his own stardom after winning UFC belts in two weight classes and becoming one of the biggest names in combat sports.

"I launched an Irish whiskey," McGregor said. "I didn’t drink heavily, if at all, at that time of my life. I was an athlete at the top of my game. Next thing you know, thousands upon thousands of bottles (are) in my garage.

"‘Sell this, Conor.’ OK, I’d leave my property with two bottles under my arm, and that was it. I was caught. And I wasn’t used to it. And that’s it. God gave me these lessons. That’s it. I was trapped and caught, and it is what it is."

Argentina survives another scare courtesy of Switzerland to advance to World Cup semifinals

Sun, 12 Jul 2026 00:05:08 -0400

Argentina and Switzerland had some very different World Cup resumes coming into Saturday night's quarterfinal match in Kansas City.

The Lionel Messi-led Argentina team is battling to win its second World Cup in a row, while the Swiss found themselves in the quarterfinals for the first time since 1954 after defeating Colombia on penalties.

Argentina survived a scare against Egypt, and that set up an interesting matchup between an offensive juggernaut and a Swiss squad that has leaned on its defense.

FOX ONE’S NEW WORLD CUP VIEWING EXPERIENCE

It didn't take too long for Argentina's offense to get started. In the 10th minute, moments after Messi sailed a corner past the front of the net, Alexis Mac Allister put the reigning champs on the board.

Argentina continued to control possession, though only slightly, while Switzerland matched it stride for stride and created a handful of chances. Argentina, meanwhile, failed to capitalize on a couple of excellent opportunities.

The game went to halftime with Mac Allister's tally being the only one on the board, which Switzerland would probably consider a win in a lot of ways. Keeping the reigning champs within arm's reach is no small feat.

In the second half, Switzerland continued to put some pressure on, and even made Argentine goaltender Emiliano Martinez make some key saves.

In the 67th minute, that pressure paid off with the Swiss shocking the heavily pro-Argentina crowd when Dan Ndoye evened things up at 1-1.

Momentum had definitely swung in Switzerland's favor, but then Switzerland got hit with a brutal decision from the officials.

Argentina's Leandro Paredes was given a yellow card, but upon review, the call was reversed, and the yellow card was given to Switzerland's Breel Embolo.

Critically, this was his second yellow card of the game, so he was sent off, and Switzerland had to continue with just 10 players.

WATCH THE WORLD CUP FINAL ON FOX ONE

However, the Swiss managed to stay alive, and this one was headed to extra time, and that was thanks to a stunning save on an Argentina corner from Switzerland's Gregor Kobel in the final moments of regulation.

In the first half of extra time, Argentina's Thiago Almada and Lautaro Martínez were both shown yellow cards. Meanwhile, Switzerland managed to keep the match level despite being down a man.

However, in the 112th minute, Argentina's Julian Alvarez called game with a beauty from way out to punch Argentina's ticket to the semifinals.

Unreal.

How many more scares are Argentina fans going to be able to take?

Argentina tacked on another just as added time began to extend their lead to 3-1.

It's worth noting that Messi did not score in this game, ending his scoring streak — which dated back to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar — at a stunning nine games.

The semifinal matchups are now set, and they are doozies.

Mick Jagger doesn't want to 'lecture' fans, says his job is to make people 'have the best time'

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 22:39:25 -0400

Mick Jagger is opening up about what he thinks his job is as an entertainer.

During an interview with the New York Times podcast, "The Interview," the 82-year-old Rolling Stones frontman shared he believes his job as a musician is to make sure audiences "have the best time they possibly have" at his shows.

"I mean, the bottom line of my thing is really that my job in the live music world is just those people that come to have the best time they possibly can, and for two hours or whatever it is to forget all their problems and the problems of the world and their mortgages and their whatever," he said.

"They can have just the best time. It's similar to going to a sports event, really, because everything else is shouted out," he continued. "You're just watching who's going to win. You're not worrying about everything else."

BLACK CROWES FRONTMAN CHRIS ROBINSON’S PAST CONTROVERSIAL REMARKS RESURFACE AFTER HALTING PATRIOTIC CHANT

Jagger made it clear he is more concerned with making sure his fans walk away at the end of his concert feeling good, emphasizing that he doesn't "want to lecture them" about anything.

While he doesn't feel the need to "lecture" his fans at his concerts, he isn't above inserting his opinion and providing social commentary in his song lyrics.

"I've also got into this habit of doing songs that are about personal relationships, and then I throw a verse about politics in there," he explained. "I think that's a trick that I've learned from other songwriters, or I've listened to others, because nobody wants to hear a whole song about politics or...social comment, of any kind."

Although the musician told interviewer, David Marchese, his main goal when performing is to entertain, he did ignite a small feud between himself and the governor of Louisiana while performing in New Orleans in May 2024.

While performing at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Jagger called out Gov. Jeff Landry by name.

"We're a welcoming crowd, aren't we?" Jagger asked. "I hope Mr. Landry is enjoying the show. He's real inclusive you know. He's trying to take us back to the Stone Age."

Shortly after the comment, the Republican governor responded on social media, appearing to mock the singer as well.

"You can’t always get what you want," he posted on X. "The only person who might remember the Stone Age is Mick Jagger. Love you buddy, you’re always welcome in Louisiana! #LoveMyCountryMusic."

Khosla family reaches deal to buy Super Bowl champion Seahawks for NFL-record price: report

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 21:45:24 -0400

Months after capturing their second Super Bowl title, the Seattle Seahawks are poised to begin the 2026 season under a new ownership structure. A group led by Vinod Khosla, his wife Neeru and their son Neal is set to become the fourth ownership group in the franchise's 51-year history.

The Khosla family reportedly reached a $9.6 billion agreement with the Paul Allen estate to take controlling interest in the Seahawks, a record price tag for an NFL franchise.

The NFL’s most recent ownership change came in 2023, when a group led by Josh Harris purchased the Washington Commanders for a then-record $6.05 billion.

The Seahawks’ reported $9.6 billion price tag would easily eclipse the NFL’s all-time sale record, but it still wouldn't surpass the $10 billion sale of the Los Angeles Lakers last October — the richest deal in North American sports history.

The Seahawks confirmed the pending sale in a statement, though financial terms were not disclosed.

Vinod Khosla, a limited partner with the San Francisco 49ers, will be required to sell his family’s minority stake in the team as part of the agreement before becoming the Seahawks’ controlling owner.

"We are honored to be entrusted as the next stewards of the Seattle Seahawks," Vinod Khosla said in a statement on behalf of the Khosla family. "We look forward to building on the winning legacy Paul Allen created and to earning the trust of the Seahawks organization and fans everywhere."

Before the sale can become official, it must be approved by at least 24 of the NFL’s 32 owners. That vote could come as soon as late next month at a league meeting, according to ESPN, though the deal must first be reviewed by the league’s finance committee.

Beyond the Khosla family, it remains unclear what other parties are possibly involved in the investor group.

FOLLOWING SUPER BOWL TITLE, JAXON SMITH-NJIGBA EYES CONTINUED SUCCESS IN SEATTLE

Vinod and Neeru Khosla have been married since 1980. Vinod is listed as the co-founder of Sun Microsystems. He later created Khosla Ventures. Their son, Neal Khosla, is a Stanford graduate and the co-founder and CEO of Curai Health. Neeru Khosla graduated from San Jose State University with a master's degree in molecular biology and is also an entrepreneur.

Jody Allen has chaired the Paul G. Allen Estate since her brother’s death in October 2018. In February, the estate put the Seahawks up for sale, following Allen’s wishes that his assets eventually be sold, and the proceeds sent to charity.

Earlier this week, Front Office Sports reported that a group led by Celtics alternate governors Wyc Grousbeck and Aditya Mittal was viewed as one of two finalists in the Seahawks bidding process.

It's Christmas in July as hundreds of Santas go on the march in the middle of a stifling summer heat wave

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 21:43:56 -0400

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas — if you ignore the calendar, that is.

While much of Europe continues to grapple with stifling summer heat, one Danish city looked ready for Christmas.

Hundreds of Santa Clauses, Mrs. Clauses and Christmas elves from around the world filled the streets this week for the annual World Santa Claus Congress in Aalborg for a colorful tradition that has delighted onlookers for decades despite taking place months before the holiday season.

The festive gathering transformed Denmark's fourth-largest city into a sea of red suits, white beards and Christmas cheer as professional Santas marched through downtown, posed for photos with visitors and took part in games and competitions all in the middle of July.

SANTA CLAUS REVEALS HIS FUN FACTS, RECAPS CHRISTMAS EVE JOURNEY WITH ‘FOX & FRIENDS’ HOSTS

This year's event came as central and Southern Europe continue to grapple with extreme heat, making the sight of dozens of Santas bundled in their signature outfits even more striking.

First staged at an amusement park near Copenhagen in 1957, the World Santa Claus Congress moved to Aalborg on Denmark's Jutland peninsula two years ago.

The annual gathering will celebrate its 70th anniversary next year.

SANTA CLAUS REUNITES WITH THE MEDICAL TEAM WHO SAVED HIS LIFE AFTER A CRITICAL CARDIAC EVENT

Originally created to entertain children, the congress has since grown into a popular meeting place for the men and women who portray Santa Claus and his North Pole coterie during the Christmas season in stores, shopping malls and holiday events around the world.

Participants traveled all the way from countries including Norway and Japan to exchange stories, compare beards, sharpen their craft and prepare for another busy Christmas season.

The packed schedule includes gingerbread-eating contests, gift-wrapping competitions, balloon modeling and several lively parades through Aalborg's sun-drenched streets.

"The grandmas say: 'Oh, it's too early to come here,'" organizer Peter Gislund, who also serves as Santa Claus in Aalborg during the Christmas season, told The Associated Press.

The children, however, reacted as most children tend to upon seeing Santa Claus.

"The kids say: 'Hooray! Santa's here already,'" he added.

Social media was not impressed by Norway subbing off Erling Haaland with their World Cup on the line

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 21:18:12 -0400

Norway's boat-rowing (even if historically inaccurate) run through the World Cup has come to an end after a 2-1 quarterfinal loss to England.

The match wasn't without controversy, however, as Norway surprisingly substituted one of the tournament's most electric players, Erling Haaland.

The Manchester City star had seven goals in the tournament, but was kept scoreless on Saturday.

WATCH THE WORLD CUP FINAL ON FOX ONE

Worse yet, it was a pre-corner foul of his that cost Norway what would've been their second goal of the match.

However, it was shocking to see the 25-year-old get subbed off in favor of Jorgen Strand Larsen.

Of course, many wondered whether Haaland had sustained an injury, but let's just say the decision to pull him with 15 minutes left in extra time and Norway trailing by a goal wasn't a popular one on social media.

Jeez, tell us how you really feel!

Of course, we'll certainly get some more info on this after the fact — I'm not super familiar with Norwegian sports media, but I'm sure they'll ask manager Ståle Solbakken about this one — but it's still disappointing.

Haaland had an incredible tournament and became one of the most popular players in it. It's just a bummer to see his tournament end with him sitting on the bench, whether that was due to injury or because of a questionable substitution.

It was still a great run for Norway, and I don't think it would be wild to see something like this again four years from now in Saudi Arabia at the next World Cup.

But now, the tournament is almost down to its final four.

Gunfire shatters Toronto Latin street festival, leaving at least 2 dead and multiple wounded

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 21:15:04 -0400

The Toronto Police Service is investigating after gunfire broke out Saturday night at a large Latin street festival in Midtown Toronto, leaving at least two people dead and four others wounded.

Police said they received reports of a shooting at St. Clair Avenue West and Arlington Avenue at 8:12 p.m. local time and discovered an active shooter situation.

First responders found six people suffering from gunshot wounds, officials said. Two of the victims were pronounced dead at the scene.

It is unclear what led to the shooting, and authorities said suspect(s) are still "outstanding." No arrests have been made as of Saturday evening, police said.

Toronto Police Deputy Chief Frank Barredo said during a news conference there seemed to be an "exchange of gunfire" between two individuals targeting each other.

"This is a very chaotic scene," he said. "I think we had something in the neighborhood of 13,000 people participating in this festival."

Police initially described the incident as an active shooter situation before later determining that was not the case.

"There was some concern of an active shooter. That turned out not to be the case," Barredo said.

Barredo said authorities were managing three separate crime scenes connected to the shooting. Two firearms have been recovered, he added.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he was "horrified" by the shooting.

"My prayers are with the families grieving their loved ones, those who are in critical condition, and everyone who has been affected by this horrific event," he said in a statement.

"My thanks to the police officers and other first responders whose courage and fast action prevented further tragedy," he continued. "Police have my full support as they work to apprehend the perpetrators and bring them to justice.

FOUR DEAD AND 29 SHOT IN CHICAGO WEEKEND VIOLENCE AS LEADERS TOUT CRIME PROGRESS

Following the shooting, the Toronto Transit Commission suspended train stops at the nearby St. Clair West station on Line 1 Yonge-University due to what officials described as a "security incident."

Regular transit service has since resumed.

Authorities urged the public to avoid the area and follow all directives from police at the scene.

'Die Hard' actor Robert Davi blasts Mamdani after NYC map omits Little Italy

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 21:11:58 -0400

"Die Hard" actor Robert Davi blasted New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani Friday after a city map highlighting immigrant enclaves omitted Little Italy.

The "New York City Immigrant Enclaves" map resurfaced on social media earlier this week after users pointed out it omitted Little Italy, as well as historically Jewish and Irish neighborhoods, despite highlighting 30 immigrant communities across the five boroughs.

Following criticism from Italian-American groups, the city said it plans to update the map to include Little Italy.

MAMDANI DEFENDS CONTROVERSIAL NYC MAP AFTER OMITTING ICONIC LITTLE ITALY, JEWISH AND IRISH NEIGHBORHOODS

Davi, who was born in Astoria, Queens, lashed out at Mamdani in a video posted on X, calling him a "jerk" for snubbing Little Italy.

"I hope every New York Italian American and Irish American spits on you when they see you," Davi said. "I would spit on you if I saw you. Shame on you, you garbage man. Shame on you. Respect the city you're in and understand the people who helped build it."

"My grandparents came from Sicily and Naples and they taught me, speak the English. This is America. God bless America," the 75-year-old "Licence to Kill" actor said.

ZOHRAN MAMDANI PRAISED FOR 'FANTASTIC' QUESTION-DODGING ON PRESIDENTIAL ELIGIBILITY

"My grandfather enlisted in World War I and got wounded three times … he helped build New York City as an immigrant, an Italian immigrant," he continued.

The veteran actor also suggested the mayor, whom he described as a "leftist Marxist Communist," leave the United States.

"Go back to where you were born, Mamdani," Davi said. "You don't belong in America."

MAMDANI BLASTS ICE AGENTS, ELON MUSK AND 'SUPREMACY' IN AMERICA 250 SPEECH AHEAD OF JULY 4 WEEKEND

Mamdani was born in Kampala, Uganda, and moved to the United States when he was 7 years old.

Davi also suggested there should be a constitutional amendment preventing Mamdani from running for public office.

"You should spend time in America, at least a generation, especially those of you that come from a country that has a totally different philosophical ideology bent," he said.

The mayor's office previously directed Fox News Digital to remarks Mamdani made during an unrelated press conference Friday, where he defended the map and said it had originally been created under the previous administration in 2023.

"This map was initially created by the prior administration in 2023, and when we inherited it, we added a few additional neighborhoods," Mamdani said. "It's clearly not an exhaustive list of the more than 200 ethnic communities that call our city home, and we're going to be making additional changes in the future to reflect that and that includes Little Italy."

Fox News Digital has reached out to Mamdani's office for comment.

Last American to use an iron lung dies at 78 years old after childhood polio diagnosis

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 21:09:02 -0400

A 78-year-old Oklahoma woman who was diagnosed with polio as a child and was the last American to rely on an iron lung to live has died.

Martha Lillard found out she had the once-feared disease when she was 5 years old, which left her paralyzed from the neck down, and required her to use the machine to help her breathe while she slept.

Lillard contracted COVID-19 twice during the pandemic, which left her in the machine nearly 24 hours a day.

DEADLY LEGIONNAIRES' DISEASE OUTBREAK SPARKS CONCERN IN MAJOR US CITY: KNOW THE SYMPTOMS

"They told her she wasn't supposed to live past 20 years old," her younger sister, Cindy McVey, told The Associated Press on Friday. "She had the enthusiasm and the drive to continue living and make the best of her life."

Despite having polio, Lillard was able to go to school two hours a day as a child, and she had tutors the rest of the time. She also used an intercom phone system that allowed her to interact with her teachers and classmates from home.

Lillard was even able to take road trips as a child because of a custom trailer that could accommodate the iron lung and her father making sure their hotels had wide enough doors for the machine.

EXPERIMENTAL VACCINE SHOWS PROMISE AGAINST DANGEROUS INTESTINAL ILLNESS

An iron lung is a negative-pressure ventilator that would help a patient with paralyzed lung muscles breathe.

The disease once caused thousands of cases of paralysis in children during outbreaks each year in the first part of the 20th century before a vaccine became available in 1955.

By 1979, polio was considered eliminated in the U.S.

Later, Lillard was able to regain the use of her left arm and legs through therapy and was even able to drive for a time.

She lived independently for many years, even getting married earlier this year to a man from Egypt she corresponded with for two decades after he was able to obtain a visa.

"They were really soul mates," McVey said. "He's extremely brokenhearted."

Lillard, who wrote poetry and volunteered with the Humane Society, according to her sister, had just 25% lung capacity before she was diagnosed with COVID.

She died of chronic pulmonary failure and post-polio syndrome, according to her death certificate.

Kristin Cavallari admits her kids fly coach while she sits in first class

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 20:52:51 -0400

Kristin Cavallari is admitting to the same parenting move that got another celebrity mom in trouble with her fans.

During a recent interview on the "Aspire with Emma Grede" podcast, the 39-year-old reality TV star shared that she doesn't give her children a free pass in life, and "if they want something, they have to work for it."

"I try to be very hyper-aware of that because they are growing up in a very fortunate situation, and I want them to know this is my money. This is not your money," she explained. "Something as small as they fly coach. I'm flying in first class. That was important to me when they became old enough."

She joked that now that they are old enough to where she can trust them not to fight while they're alone on the plane, it is easy for her to leave them and say, "Bye guys, have fun back there."

SCOTT EASTWOOD CREDITS HIS FAMOUS FATHER'S WORK ETHIC FOR MAKING HIM AWARE OF 'BULLS---' IN THE FILM INDUSTRY

Fans loved the idea of Cavallari enjoying a luxury flight on her own while her kids sat in economy, with one YouTube comment reading, "She's a real one for flying her kids coach while she is in first class haha."

Cavallari shares three kids with her ex-husband, Jay Cutler: sons Camden, 13, Jaxon, 12, and daughter Saylor, 10.

While on the podcast, "The Hills" star also spoke about her divorce from Cutler, who she was married to from 2013 to 2022, saying what gave her the "confidence to leave my marriage was the success of" her jewelry and skincare brand, Uncommon James.

"Which is interesting because if I didn't have Uncommon James, I could have taken half of his money, right? But because I had this company, there was a really large asset on our balance sheet.

"I didn't get anything, which I'm so happy about now. But I don't get any money from my ex-husband. I had to give him half the value of Uncommon James in cash and properties and everything else. Yeah. Isn't that interesting?"

The "Very Cavallari" star's admission comes shortly after singer Jessica Simpson defended herself for sitting in first class with her mother but without her children and her then-husband, Eric Johnson.

Simpson's solo trip in first class became public knowledge after her ex-husband, Nick Lachey, who was also on the flight with Simpson, exposed her during an appearance on an episode of "Watch What Happens Live!" in May.

"I believe her kids and her — I’m not familiar with where they stand, but — her husband, maybe, were on the plane but not with us," he said, later confirming they were "in a separate class of service."

England soccer manager Thomas Tuchel was not happy after his team punched their ticket to the World Cup semifinals on Saturday with a 2-1 win over Norway.

In Tuchel's postgame interview with Fox Sports, he lamented his team's mistakes and appeared combative with the interviewer.

"The way we played, how we played, sloppy, lot of technical mistakes, not fast enough, not repetitive enough, we were lucky today," he said.

"Overall, we got lucky today," he later repeated.

Dem governor escalates McConnell health demands, cites response to past Trump health concerns

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 20:44:44 -0400

Democrat Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear escalated his pressure campaign against Sen. Mitch McConnell on Saturday, demanding the longtime Republican senator from the Bluegrass State reveal his undisclosed medical condition as questions mount over the 84-year-old's ability to serve.

In a post on X, Beshear connected his recent push for the lawmaker’s transparency to past national debates, writing, "I publicly and privately urged the last administration to address the public’s concerns with the former president’s health. I’m calling on Sen. McConnell to do the same and provide voters an update on his own health."

Beshear ended the post by urging McConnell to "end the crazy speculation" and "just tell us what's going on."

MCCONNELL FACES FRESH CALLS TO COME CLEAN ABOUT HEALTH ISSUES

The governor's public comments follow a formal letter he sent to McConnell on Wednesday requesting a full health update on behalf of constituents who are "increasingly concerned" about the senator’s wellbeing and "ability to hold office in the United States Senate."

Beshear argued public officeholders have a commitment to represent constituents with "clear communication about one's ability to serve."

MCCONNELL WAS FOUND 'UNCONSCIOUS' IN HOME LAST MONTH AS CONDITION REMAINS UNKNOWN

McConnell has been absent from the Senate for three weeks and was first hospitalized in early June for an undisclosed condition.

His office has declined to release specific details or a timeline for his return, though leaked emergency dispatch audio from a June 14 call revealed he was seemingly found unconscious at his home and may have suffered a heart attack.

McConnell’s wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, met with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng in Beijing following the hospitalization, and her office claimed his condition "did not warrant an immediate return to the U.S."

Both Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso said they have since spoken with McConnell at length about Senate business, recent Supreme Court decisions and the ongoing Graham Platner campaign scandal.

However, when asked about McConnell’s condition aboard Air Force One on Wednesday, President Donald Trump said, "I have no idea how he's doing."

Jude Bellingham's second straight two-goal performance sends England to World Cup semifinals

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 20:20:29 -0400

As the 2026 FIFA World Cup progresses into its final stages, we're going to get more downright titanic clashes, and one of them was Saturday's quarterfinal match between England and Norway.

Sure, England — with the likes of offensive machines like Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham — is always a team to watch, but Norway has been a surprise dark horse.

Of course, that's thanks to the force of nature that is Norway's Erling Haaland, who has quickly become one of the most popular players in the United States, and the feeling is mutual.

WATCH THE WORLD CUP FINAL ON FOX ONE

With so much firepower on the pitch, there was a good chance that there was going to be some serious fireworks.

However, the first 20-plus minutes or so — up to the hydration break — were really just a feeling-out process with neither team getting any real, dangerous scoring opportunities.

In the 28th minute, England was awarded a free kick, which Kane drove past the Norwegian wall, but up over the crossbar.

The lead didn't last too long, though.

In stoppage time at the end of the first half, Jude Bellingham, the hero of the Three Lions' gutsy win in Mexico City over Mexico, evened things up with his fifth goal in six matches at this World Cup.

England nearly took a lead into the locker room at the half when Kane found the back of the net just minutes later; however, it was ruled to be offside.

In the early part of the second half, both sides exchanged some scoring opportunities, which included a tough shot that English goalkeeper Jordan Pickford had to tip over the crossbar for a Norwegian corner.

That one was fended off, but moments later Norway was awarded another corner, which England deflected out for another corner.

The third time was (kind of) the charm, and the Norwegians ended up putting the ball in the back of the net, but it was called back due to a foul on Haaland.

That meant Norway had to retake the corner, which England managed to defend.

Norway looked dangerous on set pieces and nearly scored on another one later in the half, only for England to get bailed out by the crossbar.

England got some late opportunities of their own, but neither team could break the tie, and it was off to extra time.

In the 93rd minute — who else? — Jude Bellingham gave England their first lead of the match, and that was all they needed.

England held on and will play the winner of Saturday evening's match between Argentina and Switzerland as they continue their quest for their first World Cup title since 1966.

Inquiring minds are asking: How soon is too soon to get a new dog after losing your four-legged best friend?

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 19:35:28 -0400

For those of you who are unfamiliar with some of the more personal aspects of my life, I lost my dog Rooney about three and a half months ago.

He was an 11–12-year-old lab mix that my wife and I rescued in the latter half of his life, and even though we only had him for about six years, we created a lifetime of memories with him.

Even nearly four months later, I still find myself thinking about the hole he left in our lives and there are times when doing even mundane tasks around the house reminds me of him.

WOMAN'S CANCER BATTLE TAKES UNBELIEVABLE TURN WHEN HER DOG GETS SAME DIAGNOSIS

I say all of this to underscore that I still probably haven't completely gotten over having to put him down back in March, so when talks started to commence in recent weeks about potentially looking for a new dog, I met those conversations with mixed emotions.

The first time my wife mentioned thinking about "the next dog," my face scrunched in disgust.

How could she even consider replacing Rooney so soon?

Then I thought a little more about it and considered my two-year-old son, who only just started to develop a bond with Rooney right before we lost him.

I got even more heartbroken imagining my son falling in love with the new dog, as the memory of Rooney slowly faded from his mind as he aged.

WOMAN STALKED BY CHARGING BEAR ON MORNING DOG WALK CAPTURES TERRIFYING ENCOUNTER ON CAMERA

Not to mention the fact that we still have another dog, Elle, who will probably have a full-on stroke if/when we bring a young, energetic puppy into our increasingly crowded house.

I clearly wasn't handling the suggestion well, but I slept on it, and I'm not sure if it's just because my wife has worn me down, but I'm starting to see another side to this whole thing.

Getting another dog doesn't mean forgetting Rooney entirely, and although there is still some scarring from losing him, the pain has been dulled significantly over the last few months.

And does it really make a difference if we wait another three months, six months, a year, before we get another dog?

Part of me says yes, but part of me says no.

My wife and I are opposites when it comes to change and sentimentality.

She's very Type-A, and is almost eager to embrace change. While I tend to be more reflective and resist change unless it's smacking me right in the face.

Perhaps that's the crux of this whole thing. I don't think my wife loved Rooney any less than I did, I just think it's in her nature to move on quicker than I do.

I think having a young child changes the calculus as well.

If we were childless, I'd imagine the timeline to get a new dog would be elongated, but I know my wife is keen on the idea of getting our son a dog of his own so they can "grow up together."

All of this still warrants the simple question: When is it "appropriate" to get a new dog after losing your four-legged best friend?

Additionally, is there ever an appropriate time? Or do you just have to "feel it out?"

It's a complex situation that I'm not sure has the correct answer, and yet here we sit at the crossroads of it all.

Another US citizen tests positive for Ebola virus while working in Congo amid record outbreak

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 19:20:23 -0400

A U.S. citizen working in the Democratic Republic of the Congo tested positive for Ebola this week, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said, as the virus continues to spread in Central Africa.

The unidentified American, who works for a humanitarian organization, is the second U.S. citizen to test positive for Ebola amid the current outbreak.

Dr. Peter Stafford fully recovered after being evacuated to Germany from the Congo in May during the first week of the outbreak.

"CDC is aware of a U.S. citizen working for a humanitarian organization in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) who has tested positive for Bundibugyo virus, a type of Ebola," the CDC said of the second case in a statement Friday.

"CDC is working with the patient's employing organization, other U.S. federal agencies, public health authorities and partners in DRC to help prevent further transmission by supporting contact tracing and performing risk assessments to identify high-risk contacts."

Stafford returned to the U.S. last month after testing negative for the virus.

"I am filled with gratitude to God for preserving my life, to all those who prayed on my behalf, and to the many medical providers who cared for me," he said in a statement. "I am feeling well and thankful to be reunited with Rebekah and the kids. Our prayers continue for those in Congo who are facing this devastating epidemic and for the ongoing efforts to control the disease."

This is the fastest-growing Ebola outbreak ever recorded in Africa with 1,830 confirmed cases in Congo, including 648 deaths, according to the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Cases have also been reported in Uganda.

Bundibugyo virus has no approved vaccine or treatment.

Last month, a French doctor tested positive for the virus after returning to Paris, and no cases have been detected in the U.S.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has said the risk of a global outbreak of the virus, which is not airborne but spreads through bodily fluids, remains low.

Congolese authorities declared an Ebola outbreak on May 15.

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred goofs up first overall draft pick's name

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 19:05:41 -0400

The 2026 MLB Draft got underway on Saturday, and it got off with a real bang.

And by that, I mean MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred goofed up the first overall pick's name.

The Chicago White Sox had the first overall pick in this year's draft, and they used it to select UCLA's Roch Cholowsky.

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!

However, Manfred read the star shortstop's name as "Cho-LOO-skee," which wouldn't be a problem if that's how it's pronounced.

But it isn't. It's "Chill-OW-skee."

Now, in Manfred's defense — which might be the first time that phrase has ever been written out — names aren't easy. Athlete names can be especially tricky.

There just aren't many John Smiths or Jeff Johnsons out there these days.

So, I get it... kind of.

As is the case for most drafts, there are some players expected to go in the first few picks, and Cholowsky was one of the frontrunners.

It's unreasonable to expect picture-perfect pronunciation of every name called during the draft, but getting the three to five players expected to go at the top right doesn't seem like too much to ask.

If I had to do that, I would be practicing those names like crazy. I'd be able to say those names forward and backward in my sleep.

Of course, the gravity of the moment would probably lead to me messing them up anyway, but dammit, I'd give it the ol' college try.

What's interesting is that this is the second straight major pro draft that led off with an awkward first-overall pick.

Manfred muffed this one, and back at the NHL Draft in June, Justin Bieber clearly skipped the run-through when he decided to go freestyle while announcing that the Toronto Maple Leafs were taking Gavin McKenna with the first overall pick.

Army Black Hawks airlift 200-plus stranded campers as Missouri floods trigger more 350 rescues

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 18:50:17 -0400

In a high-stakes rescue operation Friday, Army National Guard Black Hawk helicopters swooped into Reynolds County, Missouri, to airlift 202 young campers and staff members stranded by rapidly rising floodwaters at Camp Taum Sauk along the Black River in the Missouri Ozarks.

Video released by the Missouri State Highway Patrol captured the tense moments as children ran to board the waiting helicopters.

The campers, ages 8 to 16, and their counselors were successfully evacuated and taken to St. Louis, where they were safely reunited with their families, troopers said.

1 DEAD FOLLOWING DEVASTATING FLOODING IN MISSOURI, WITH MORE STORMS, HEAVY RAIN ON THE WAY

"We are beyond thankful for your help keeping our camp community safe," Camp Taum Sauk officials posted in an Instagram post Saturday morning, expressing gratitude to the National Guard, Reynolds County 911 Emergency Responders and the local Arcadia community.

The historic coed camp has been in operation in Lesterville, roughly 125 miles south of St. Louis, since 1946.

The camper rescue comes just over a year after the Guadalupe River in Texas Hill Country flooded July 4, 2025, taking the lives of at least 135 people, including 28 people at the all-girls Camp Mystic.

Kamala Harris attends Los Angeles Sparks game, gives an insufferable, uninspiring speech to the team

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 18:30:24 -0400

The WNBA is obviously a left-wing activist league that is happy to promote Democratic politicians. Teams like the Seattle Storm openly endorsed Kamala Harris for president. WNBA players and the players' association also conspired to oust Kelly Loeffler, a Republican senator, as an owner of the Atlanta Dream, with players shamelessly wearing "Vote Warnock" T-shirts. And on Saturday, before the matchup between the New York Liberty and the Minnesota Lynx, the league invited Gov. Tim Walz to honor coach Cheryl Reeve as the WNBA's winningest coach by declaring July 11 Cheryl Reeve Day.

So the Los Angeles Sparks recognizing and even inviting failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris to speak to the team after their win shouldn't surprise anyone.

The Sparks recognized the former vice president and her husband, accompanied by "I Miss You" by Aaron Hall.

WNBA PLAYER SAYS THE LEAGUE SHOULDN'T WEAR USA 250 PATCHES FOR THE ALL-STAR GAME BECAUSE OF SLAVERY

During the broadcast on ION, Kamala Harris was interviewed and unprofessionally fawned over. She received questions such as, "I know you're such a huge basketball fan. How do women do it better?" The whole interview served as a weak PR campaign for the league. Harris spouted multiple word salads about the athleticism of the players, saying the league was full of "incredible excellence in terms of athletic ability, in terms of ambition, in terms of discipline, and what they're doing to model the height of athleticism."

After the Sparks secured a 102-87 win over the Chicago Sky, Harris spoke to the team. "You are having an incredible impact," she stated. "People of every gender, background and race watch the W… You guys are impacting people who you may never meet, who may never know your names or mine, but they are aware of what you’re doing"

Sure, Kamala. People from the ever-changing, constantly growing list of genders are watching the WNBA. According to Harris, people of every background may not know these players' names, but they know what they're doing in the league. Makes sense.

CHINEY OGWUMIKE'S DEFENSE OF ALYSSA THOMAS REINFORCED EVERYTHING CRITICS SAY ABOUT THE WNBA MEDIA

Harris went on to say these players are giving all of these people a "sense of their value and their dignity and what they have a right to expect in this world." We can only speculate what those rights may be.

As the word salad ended, Harris said, "Congratulations on this game, but congratulations as much as anything else, for the path that you guys are charting. It is extraordinary to watch." After she ended with, "That’s it," she included her now famous Kamala cackle.

Now, hopefully, we can be unburdened by what has been.

Major American city again takes top honors for worst possible travel reason

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 18:21:21 -0400

As people prepare to travel for summer vacation, a top pest-control company is revealing the U.S. cities where you’re likely to encounter bedbugs.

Bedbugs are small insects that feed on blood and live near humans or animals, favoring places we sleep or rest, such as beds, couches and nearby furniture. They can cause itchy bites, skin irritation, and in some cases, allergic reactions.

Chicago once again topped the list of Orkin’s 2026 Bed Bug Cities List, retaining the pest control and extermination company’s number one ranking as America’s city where it performed the most bedbug treatments.

Orkin announced last year that the Windy City had held onto its spot as the most bedbug-infested city in the nation for the fifth consecutive year.

Los Angeles, Detroit, Cleveland and Indianapolis rounded out the top five this year. Popular tourist hot spots Tampa and Myrtle Beach experienced increased bedbug activity, Orkin reported.

"Many cities where bedbug activity has been the worst in the last year are also some of the country’s most popular travel destinations and are expected to welcome large numbers of visitors for major concerts, festivals and sporting events throughout the summer and beyond," Orkin announced in a press release.

Nashville and Oklahoma City each climbed 10 spots on this year’s list, the company said, while Youngstown, Omaha and Knoxville recorded some of the largest declines.

According to Orkin, "These year-over-year changes highlight the persistent and evolving nature of bedbug activity across the nation."

The rankings are based on treatment data from metro areas where Orkin performed the most bedbug treatments from May 2025 to May 12, 2026, and includes both residential and commercial bedbug treatments.

A report by casino.ca released earlier this summer ranked Michigan as the state with the highest estimated risk of encountering bedbugs, followed by Ohio, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, Fox News Digital previously reported. Hawaii and Oregon ranked lowest on the list.

Warren, Michigan, topped the list of U.S. cities, with North Las Vegas, Nevada, and Madison, Wisconsin, also ranking among the biggest hot spots, according to the report.

The casino.ca analysis combined bedbug data from Orkin and Terminix with TripAdvisor hotel reviews, treatment records and social-media posts to estimate travelers' risk of encountering bedbugs.

While such reports "make for fun reads," Zachary DeVries, associate professor of urban entomology at the University of Kentucky, previously cautioned Fox News Digital against putting too much stock in them.

"The main problem I have with these [rankings] is they make it seem like urban areas have all the bedbug problems, but from some recent work we’ve done and anecdotal reports, we know bedbugs can show up anywhere — urban, suburban or rural," he said.

"In fact, while people are more packed together in urban areas and thus more likely to bump into bedbugs, those living in rural areas may have less access to good pest control services and thus may find it more difficult to get rid of bedbugs," he added.

Dini Miller, professor of urban pest management at Virginia Tech, told Fox News Digital that places tend to get attention for bedbugs when people are visiting and looking for them.

Experts recommend inspecting mattress seams, upholstered furniture and behind headboards for bedbugs while traveling.

They also suggest using a sticky lint roller on clothing, upholstery and the bottoms of shoes to help detect hitchhiking bed bugs.

Retired Pro Bowl quarterback Derek Carr says multiple teams have reached out about a comeback

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 18:01:07 -0400

Never say never, right? At least that's what Derek Carr says.

Carr, 35, retired in May 2025 after 11 seasons, but the four-time Pro Bowler said that multiple teams have tried to bring him back.

"There were multiple teams that reached out to me this offseason. I won't say who or how, but they reached out and was just gauging my interest on what I wanted to do. They were good, solid football teams," Carr said during a recent appearance on NFL Network’s "Good Morning Football."

Carr didn’t shut down the possibility of a return but said it would take a "special situation" to come back.

"I never say never. It would take a special situation," Carr said.

"I think I’m just at the point where I just want to win. I want to win," Carr said. "So, if I were to do it, it would have to be a special team that maybe lost somebody or needed somebody, but even then, it's not guaranteed."

Carr said he is always training and staying in shape but is enjoying being a husband and father.

"I'm having too much fun hanging out with my wife, hanging out with my kids and trying to get good at golf. So, it would take a special deal."

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!

The Saints signed Carr to a four-year, $150 million contract in 2023 and still own his rights, meaning if he were to return, a team would have to acquire him from the Saints. The Saints, who drafted quarterback Tyler Shough in the 2025 NFL draft, would presumably be willing to facilitate a trade after Shough impressed.

Even if Carr played last season, he might not have taken a snap due to multiple shoulder injuries. In March 2025, while Carr was preparing for the season, he experienced pain in his right shoulder.

The Saints announced that medical scans determined Carr sustained a labral tear and had significant degenerative changes to his rotator cuff. The team’s medical staff and Carr considered surgery on his shoulder, but there was no guarantee the quarterback would have the same strength, function and performance he was used to.

In Carr’s last season, he played 10 games and completed 67.7% of his passes for 2,145 yards with 15 touchdowns and five interceptions. The Saints went 5-5 in his starts.

Carr’s season was cut short when he sustained a concussion and a left hand injury on the same play against the New York Giants.

In 169 career regular season games, Carr has a record of 77-92, a 65.1% completion percentage and has thrown for 41,245 yards with 257 touchdowns and 112 interceptions. He spent nine seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders and two with the Saints.

Irish police under fire for refusing to identify reported asylum seeker sought in American mother's murder

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 18:00:16 -0400

An international manhunt is in its fifth day after the murder of an American woman in Ireland, but Irish police have yet to name a suspect or provide any description of the man they are seeking. And that decision is drawing sharp criticism from many, including a former FBI agent and an Irish politician.

Jamey Carney, 43, a New York native who moved to Ireland in 2021, was found dead after suffering head injuries and suffocating in her home in the picturesque town of Killarney, County Kerry, late Monday, according to The Irish Times. The idyllic southwestern town is popular among American tourists.

Before Carney's body was discovered Tuesday, the man Irish police describe as a "person of interest" had already traveled about 200 miles from Killarney to Dublin Airport and boarded a flight to Turkey, according to Irish police, suggesting authorities knew his identity but chose not to disclose it publicly.

Some Irish publications have reported that the person of interest is an asylum seeker originally from Jordan who traveled to Ireland in 2024 amid an influx of illegal immigrants descending on the island country.

AMERICAN MOTHER MURDERED IN IRISH TOURIST TOWN AS INTERNATIONAL MANHUNT TARGETS ALLEGED ASYLUM SEEKER

Ex-FBI agent weighs in

"How is the public supposed to help with locating the alleged suspect when Irish authorities won't even release his name?" former FBI Special Agent Nicole Parker wondered in an interview with Fox News Digital. "Time is of the essence. Every hour or day increases the chance the suspect disappears, destroys evidence or hurts others. Public help is critical. Withholding a photo, name or description for days while the suspect is on the run is counterproductive."

Parker said that if the roles were reversed and a non-U.S. citizen had been murdered in the United States, authorities would typically release identifying information immediately.

"Law enforcement — local, state and federal, including the FBI and U.S. Marshals — would aggressively release identifying information to the public," she said. "The public's help is often what leads to locating fugitives."

Immigration debate

Irish broadcaster RTÉ reported police said they were not in a position to comment on the person's age, name or nationality for legal reasons, though authorities did not specify any such legal basis.

A 2015 immigration law protecting the identities of asylum seekers may explain why Irish police have not identified the person of interest, Gript.ie reported. According to the outlet, the law generally prohibits publishing the identities of asylum seekers to protect them from those they claim to be fleeing.

Fox News Digital asked Irish police to identify the person of interest and explain the legal basis for withholding his identity, but they declined to provide any new information, saying only that there were "no additional updates at this time."

Independent Dublin City Councilor Gavin Pepper, a critic of mass immigration into Ireland, slammed the decision not to publicly identify the person of interest. He said the failure to do so is a serious public safety concern.

"That man had a substantial head start," Pepper told Fox News Digital. "At the end of the day, it shouldn't matter what color your skin is. If you commit a heinous crime, your face should be all over every newspaper, every TV station. A manhunt is a manhunt."

Irish police are treating Carney's death as a murder.

HERE'S WHY IRELAND IS AT BOILING POINT OVER MASS IMMIGRATION

Pepper said that had authorities publicly released the person's identity sooner, law enforcement in the country where he landed could potentially have been waiting for him.

Not everyone agreed with emphasizing the man's reported immigration status.

Ruth Coppinger, a member of the Irish parliament with the Trotskyist political party People Before Profit, criticized media reports identifying the man as an asylum seeker, accusing some outlets of "stoking the flames of racism," according to Gript.ie. She argued in the Irish parliament that "the common denominator in violence against women is a man, not a nationality."

The person of interest

Several news outlets — including the New York Post, The Irish Mirror, the Irish Independent and the Irish Examiner — identified the 28-year-old person of interest by name. Irish police and the Department of Justice declined to confirm his identity to Fox News Digital.

Carney's body was discovered by her 13-year-old daughter in an upstairs bedroom of their home just before 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, The Irish Times reported.

Irish police issued alerts to airports, ports, train stations and bus stations within just over an hour of Carney's body being discovered, the Irish Independent reported. However, the person of interest had already left Ireland.

The search is becoming increasingly difficult as the hours and days pass.

Irish police are now working with Interpol, Europol and Turkish authorities to try to locate the man after he flew to Istanbul. Detectives fear he may already have left Turkey with local assistance and traveled onward to Syria or his native Jordan, according to reports.

An Irish police source also told Fox News Digital locating the man will be difficult because he had already fled the country. Investigators believe he first arrived in the United Kingdom before traveling to Ireland, according to reports.

The killing comes as Ireland grapples with a rise in violence against women. Gript.ie reported that eight women have died in violent circumstances in the country this year, matching the total for all of 2025. According to the outlet's analysis, only one of the identified or sought suspects in those cases was an Irish national.

Ireland does not record the ethnicity of those who commit crimes.

A New Yorker who settled in Ireland

Carney was originally from Westchester County, just north of New York City. She moved to Ireland in 2021, according to the Irish Independent.

Her social media profiles described her as a "New Yorker in Ireland" and featured photos and videos of her with her daughter and a man she identified as her partner. In one recent post, she referred to them as a "mixed couple."

Carney's social media accounts also showed she supported the Free Palestine movement. Her Facebook bio described her as a "New Yorker in Ireland," included the phrase "Free Palestine" and said "Fk Ice," an apparent reference to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Several posts also showed the couple attending pro-Palestinian rallies together.

THOUSANDS MARCH IN DUBLIN AGAINST IRELAND'S MASS MIGRATION POLICIES AS MCGREGOR PURSUES PRESIDENTIAL BID

Posts on the social media accounts of the man named in media reports referred to Carney as "my love" and "my heart."

His accounts also contain posts from the United Kingdom and Turkey in recent years.

Carney's LinkedIn profile indicated she worked for a healthcare outsourcing company in Ireland after previously working as an insurance agent and real estate salesperson in the New York metropolitan area.

Carney's sister, Devon Bennett, described her as "an insanely caring human being" who "dedicated so much of herself, her energy and her time to fighting for the rights of others," according to the Irish Independent. Bennett said Carney was especially proud of her "brilliant daughter, Michaela."

"We grew up in New York, but she spent much of her best years with Michaela in Bergen County, New Jersey," Bennett told the outlet.

"Their true home, where they both felt they truly belonged, was the beautiful town of Killarney."

Bobby Portis Jr reveals the surprising reason behind his new Miami Heat jersey number

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 17:47:05 -0400

It's always interesting to hear how athletes come up with their jersey numbers. Sometimes there's a deep story, or it's a tribute to another player.

Other times, as is the case with Bobby Portis Jr.'s new number with the Miami Heat, it comes by way of a sign.

A literal one. On a highway.

NORWAY'S WORLD CUP KIT REFLECTS THE NATION'S CHRISTIAN HERITAGE WITH MEANINGFUL HISTORIC DETAILS

Portis was dealt by the Milwaukee Bucks to the Miami Heat along with Bucks teammate Giannis Antetokounmpo in exchange for Nate Ament, Tyler Herro, Kasparas Jakucionis, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kel'el Ware, and a number of draft picks.

That means a fresh start is in order for the former Bull, Wizard and Knick.

Part of that means moving on from the No. 9 he used in Milwaukee and adopting the somewhat unusual No. 95 he'll use in Miami.

Portis explained what inspired his new digits.

"When I was driving my stuff down to Miami, I didn’t want to wear No. 9 because that’s a Milwaukee thing for me," he explained. "So, I wanted to change it up a little bit. I was looking up at the sign and it said ‘95 South.’ And if you don’t know, you can take 95 all the way to Miami. So 95 is where I’m at now."

Wow. This has to be the first time anyone has ever been inspired by I-95. If it inspires anything, it's usually dread.

WISCONSIN BADGERS JUST ADDED THE PERFECT JERSEY SPONSORSHIP IF THERE IS SUCH A THING

Normally, when I see those signs, my first thought is more like, "Crap, I guess this is just going to be the fastest, most direct way to get from A to B, isn't it?"

Hey, whatever works.

Of course, Portis noted that there's a little bonus with the number, as he was born in 1995 as well.

But I love that this was secondary to the fact that he saw a sign for I-95 and was like, "Eureka!"

Aaron Lewis says music industry turned its back on him because of his politics

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 17:45:58 -0400

Aaron Lewis is opening up about why he thinks industry executives have cast him aside.

During a recent interview on the "Pickin’ It Out with Andrew Pope" podcast, the 54-year-old musician spoke about his upcoming record and why he believes the music industry has turned its back on him.

"Everything's too political now," he explained. "I've played the [Grand Ole] Opry a whole bunch of times, and I don't get invited to the Opry anymore. All because I believe in this beautiful, amazing country that we're so blessed to have."

The musician first found fame as the lead vocalist and founding member of the band Staind. He stayed with the band until the early 2000s, before embarking on a successful solo career in 2010.

During the interview, he reflected on the idea that in two years it would be 30 years since he formed Staind, calling it "such a blessing to still be able to do this after doing it for almost 30 years."

"We're now eligible for the Hall of Fame," he said, before adding, "It'll never happen."

His upcoming sixth studio album, "Give My Country Back," is set to drop July 17. Lewis and Pope said they hope listeners will be able to find the album to listen to it.

"You got to look for it. Any of my stuff," Lewis explained. "The machine that is has no problem turning its back on me."

Lewis isn't the only musician to deal with backlash due to politics.

Vanilla Ice recently received backlash when he was announced as one of the performers at the Great American State Fair, celebrating the 250th anniversary of America.

After the lineup was announced May 29, several performers, including Martina McBride, Bret Michaels, Young MC, the Commodores, Morris Day and others announced they were dropping out.

When it comes to the backlash he received for agreeing to perform at President Donald Trump-backed Freedom 250 events, the rapper said he is "just an entertainer" and that it isn't fair for him or any other entertainer "to be dragged into politics and stuff."

"I think people are taking everything too serious, and you should enjoy this concert, this celebration of our country, and we should all come together. That's what music's for anyway, to bring people together," he said. "Music brings people together, and that's what it's all about."
