House Republicans threaten to force Russia sanctions vote after giving leadership 'one last chance'

A pair of House Republicans could soon mount an effort to force a chamber-wide vote on sanctioning Russia for its war in Ukraine after months of back-and-forth between the House, Senate and White House yielded little movement on the issue. "This coming week, Brian Fitzpatrick's sanctions bill … ripens, so we can actually submit it as a discharge petition on Monday or Tuesday, and I'll sign that," Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., told Fox News Digital.  "But it's got to start from scratch," he added. "We've got to get 218 signatures on it, and so that has a lot more work to do there, but it's a really good bill that Brian has worked on both sides of the aisle to get it right. And I think it's one that could have support in the Senate." A discharge petition is a mechanism for forcing a vote on legislation over the objections of House majority leadership. Historically, they're a rarely used measure given the petition needs signatures fr...

Obama calls Los Angeles homelessness an ‘atrocity,’ criticizes 'losing' political strategy

Former President Barack Obama criticized the homelessness crisis in Los Angeles, calling it an "atrocity" given the billions of dollars elected officials have thrown at the problem over the years.  Obama was speaking with YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen when he touched on criticism local residents and business owners have voiced for years. "I think it is morally — ethically speaking — it is an atrocity that in a country this wealthy, we have people just on the streets, and we should insist on policies that recognize their full humanity — people who are houseless — and be able to provide them with the help and resources that they need," Obama said. DAVID MARCUS: I'VE SEEN ENOUGH HUMAN SUFFERING IN HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS TO KNOW TRUMP'S NEW POLICY IS RIGHT "We should recognize that the average person doesn’t want to have to navigate around a tent city in the middle of downtown," he added. "That’s a losing political strategy." Obama noted tha...

Schumer doubles down on GOP voting bill 'Jim Crow 2.0' despite Democratic voter support

Sen. Chuck Schumer , D-N.Y., compared the Republican Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act to Jim Crow 2.0 again during an interview on Sunday, when pressed on the overwhelming support for requiring ID to vote in the U.S. The New York senator was asked about Department of Homeland Security (DHS) head Kristi Noem talking about DHS's role in overseeing elections. She said in the clip played by CNN during "State of the Union" that they need to make sure come Election Day, the right people are voting. Schumer called the statement a "load of bull," and argued that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents shouldn't be anywhere near polling places . CNN's Jake Tapper said, "About 83% of the American people, including a majority of Democrats, support voter ID laws ." CHUCK SCHUMER UNDER FIRE AFTER BRAZENLY CALLING VOTER ID 'JIM CROW 2.0' "Well, yes, the voter ID laws that, first, each state can have its own voter ID...

DAVID MARCUS: Democrats' Munich meltdown exposes Left's intellectual void

When I was growing up in the 1980s there was a galaxy of left-wing, even socialist, intellectual stars such as Noam Chomsky, Michel Foucault and Gore Vidal, whose works were like an inkwell that politicians and commentators could draw from. Judging from the Munich Security Conference this weekend, that inkwell has run dry. Take this gem of a comment on global order from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez , queen of the Democratic Socialists: "What we are seeking is a return to a rules-based order that eliminates the hypocrisies around when too often in the west we look the other way for inconvenient populations, to act out these paradoxes." Allow me to translate this into English: "The West is bad and mistreats the marginalized rest of the world." The use of 25-cent words and highfalutin sentence structure cannot hide the banality of what AOC is saying. Not even the assuring allure of assonance would help, given the asinine simplicity of her word salad. SOCIALIST WIN...

'Quad God' Ilia Malinin falls twice, finishes eighth after shocking performance

Ilia Malinin had a clear path to the gold medal on Friday night, but that’s why nothing is played on paper. The 21-year-old American skating phenom, nicknamed the "Quad God" for his amazing leaping ability, failed to medal after being the heavy favorite to win gold, finishing in eighth place. Malinin dominated the short program earlier this week, entering the day leading by more than five points with a score of 108.16. But Friday was the polar opposite. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM   Malinin connected on a quad-flip to start but then settled for a single axel. He then had a double loop instead of a quad loop, which was not exactly what he had hoped for.  It was all downhill from there. Malinin then fell on a quad Lutz attempt and then fell on another jump shortly after. He scored a 156.33, a far cry from the world record of 238.24 he set in December and the 200-mark he routinely hits in the free skate. Mikhail Shaidorov of Kazakhstan won the gold...

TMZ reports second letter demanding bitcoin in exchange for name of Guthrie kidnapper

TMZ reported Thursday afternoon that it had received a second email from a person demanding one bitcoin in exchange for the name of Nancy Guthrie 's alleged kidnapper.  "I am not being taken seriously," the person reportedly said in the message.  TMZ reported that the person making the demand said he or she wants one bitcoin, worth about $65,000 today, to "lay low" out of fear of retaliation for giving up the kidnapper's name.  NANCY GUTHRIE'S ALLEGED BITCOIN RANSOM COULD BE PAID IN MINUTES AS MONDAY DEADLINE APPROACHES: EXPERT The messenger also reportedly said it would be the last demand and that he feared being incriminated like Carlos Palazuelos, who was detained and questioned in Rio Rico, Arizona, Tuesday night.  The outlet says no bitcoin has been exchanged.  Former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker told Fox News’ "The Faulkner Focus" he was "highly skeptical" regarding a first email requesting money in exchange for...
