Nine Venezuelan nationals have pleaded guilty for their roles in what federal prosecutors described as a family-run sex trafficking ring that lured vulnerable women to the U.S. with promises of jobs before forcing them into prostitution in the Nashville area . The U.S. Department of Justice announced Thursday that members of the organization recruited women in Venezuela, arranged for them to be smuggled into the U.S. and then transported them to Nashville. Once there, prosecutors said the victims were told they owed inflated smuggling debts that could only be repaid through commercial sex acts. According to court documents, women who refused were threatened with violence against themselves and relatives still living in Venezuela. Prosecutors said the traffickers also took a share of the women's earnings while collecting on the debts.

Red got the better of him in one of the better sequences of the match.  Navarro also talked about battling his fear of heights as he tried to make his way up the pillar to climb on the rope and get the title. COMPLETE PRO WRESTLING COVERAGE ON FOX NEWS DIGITAL "So, this Ultimate X was a lot more special than the first one I was in at Rebellion last year. See, me, I'm not a big fan of heights.

A pilot has gone viral after leaving an unexpected message in the sky during a routine flight. The pilot of the two-hour maintenance test flight over Northwest England traced the words "I'm bored" across the sky, with the unusual message and route appearing on the flight-tracking website Flightradar24. The Ravenair-operated Piper Tomahawk aircraft departed from Liverpool around 11:30 a.m. Saturday. It spent about two hours flying over the Wirral peninsula, Cheshire and North Wales before safely returning, according to Flightradar24 .

In the Senate, there’s a black veil covering a desk. On top there’s a bowl of striking white roses. That’s where Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., used to sit. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., pointed to that desk during an emotional tribute to the late Senator on Monday. Graham was a confidant, trusted advisor and friend to Thune. And through tears, he set about remembering the lawmaker who spent 30 years in Washington, D.C., making a mark on his state and country. "It's difficult to believe that Lindsey Graham is no longer here with us," Thune said. "That we won't run into him at a meeting today or share a joke with him at this afternoon's vote. The halls of the Senate already feel empty without him. And I know I'm not alone in that feeling." GRAHAM'S DEATH IGNITES GOP SCRAMBLE FOR SENATE SEAT AS TRUMP HINTS HE ALREADY HAS A FAVORITE As Thune spoke about Graham, the late lawmaker’s staff sat in the Senate chamber as tears filled the room...

Speaking two or more languages may help slow brain aging, according to new research. The study, presented at the 2026 Federation of European Neuroscience Societies Forum, found that people who spoke multiple languages appeared to have younger brains than those who spoke only one language. Researchers analyzed brain activity from hundreds of people in Spain's Basque region who spoke between one and four languages, including Spanish, Basque, French and English. They used artificial intelligence to estimate each participant's "brain age" based on patterns of brain connectivity. COMMON VITAMIN MAY INFLUENCE BRAIN AGING IN WAYS SCIENTISTS DIDN'T EXPECT The researchers found that bilingual participants had brains that appeared about six years younger than those of monolingual participants. People who spoke three languages had brains that appeared about seven years younger, while those who spoke four languages had brains that appeared roughly 13 years younger. The find...

Preseason rankings in college football have become a hot topic of conversation nearly every July and August. While the college football world still eagerly awaits the 2026 edition of the preseason polls, it's good to remember that these rankings are somewhat of an inexact science. It's fun to argue and joust with other fans about where you believe your team should be slotted in the first edition of the official rankings of the college football season , but sometimes being a highly ranked team heading into the year can be a death sentence. SEC, BIG TEN ARE DOMINATING COLLEGE FOOTBALL THANKS TO MASSIVE ADVANTAGES OVER OTHER CONFERENCES The combination of sky-high expectations and overlooking holes in the roster can lead to disastrous seasons for teams whose goals may have been a bit too lofty, and there's plenty of historical precedent to prove it. With that in mind, here are five of the most disappointing preseason top-10 teams from the 21st century. Believe it or not, ther...
