WATCH: Border Patrol union chief explodes on Biden in fiery press conference, says agents 'p----d' at policies

The head of the union that represents Border Patrol agents across the country exploded on President Biden during a Thursday press conference, declaring agents were "mad as hell," and "p----d" over his policies that allowed the situation at the border to deteriorate so badly. National Border Patrol Council (NBCP) President Brandon Judd appeared alongside former President Donald Trump in Eagle Pass, Texas, which he described as the "epicenter" of the border crisis, as Biden held a dueling event a few hundred miles away at the less affected Brownsville, Texas. "Sir, I want you to know your agents, my agents, they're mad as hell — absolutely mad that President Biden went to Brownsville, Texas, rather than going to Arizona, rather than going to San Diego, California, rather than coming to Eagle Pass, Texas, which has been the epicenter," Judd said after Trump invited him to the microphone to speak.  PROGRESSIVE HOUSE DEMS MADE SECRET ‘HUMAN R...

French President Macron to inaugurate Olympic village in disadvantaged area transformed for Paris Games

When French President Emmanuel Macron inaugurates the Olympic village on Thursday, he will see a formerly run-down area transformed into an international hub for the Paris Games. The village sits in the suburb of Saint-Denis, known in the sports world as the home to the Stade de France where France's national soccer and rugby teams play. But the area itself is one of France's poorest, and it saw rioting last year after a police officer fatally shot a teenager of north African descent in another Paris suburb. PARIS OLYMPICS SECURITY PLANS WERE NOT STOLEN IN REPORTED COMPUTER THEFT, OFFICIALS SAY The July 26-Aug. 11 Paris Games and the Aug. 28-Sept. 8 Paralympics that follow may help raise prospects and leave a lasting legacy — for locals and for the environment.

Thursday's inauguration sees the c...

Stephen A. Smith clarifies comments on Zion Williamson, takes aim at Pelicans' lack of playoff success

The New Orleans Pelicans appear firmly entrenched in Stephen A. Smith's crosshairs. Over the past several months, Smith has brought attention to Pelicans star Zion Williamson's weight. And Smith's most recent criticism of Williamson sparked a feud between the Pelicans social media team and the high-profile television personality. "Zion Williamson, it’s not about his game," Smith said last week during an appearance on ESPN's "Get Up."  "It’s about how many burgers he’s eating. Whether he is going to be in shape or keep eating McDonald’s. …That’s what he has to prove, that the chefs don’t love him any longer."  CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM The remarks appeared to prompt the Pelicans to post a graphic showing Smith's stats from his 1990-91 basketball season. The Pelicans also shared a video on X, formerly Twitter, featuring Smith making a number of athletic blunders. "It doesn’t bother me that you troll m...

SoHo hotel murder suspect Raad Almansoori crawled under bathroom stall to attack Arizona woman, police say

Raad Almansoori, the suspect in a string of violent crimes against women around the country including a murder in Manhattan's SoHo 54 hotel and two stabbings in Arizona, was denied bond after a bail hearing in Maricopa County Monday. Scottsdale Police arrested him last week after tracking a stolen car to a parking garage in the city. The car belonged to a woman who had been stabbed – one of two authorities allege Almansoori attacked after fleeing south following the murder of Denisse Oleas-Arancibia in New York.

Nutritionist sounds the alarm on viral trend glorifying extreme high-calorie diet: 'Diabetes time bomb'

A portion control expert is sounding the alarm on a popular TikTok trend where users, who identify themselves as a "Massive Fatty" or a variation of the term, are getting tens of millions of views on videos of diets that could amount to 10,000 calories per day.  The videos generally start off with a message such as, "What I eat in a day as a fat b---h who doesn't give a f---k that she's fat" or "What I eat in a day as a fat person eating whatever I want ." The trend often features hashtags such as "#FatAcceptance" and "#FatLiberation." One TikTok user, whose video garnered seven million likes on the platform, showcased her meal of large McDonald’s fries, 10-piece chicken nuggets, a quarter pounder sandwich, fruit snacks, juice and a rice dish.  Dr. Lisa Young, a nutritionist and adjunct professor at NYU, upon reviewing the "What I eat in a day as a fat b---h" videos, said it was extremely dangerous messaging that w...

Democrat lampooned for plea to press to stop fact-checking Biden: 'Fact-check her facts'

A former Missouri Democratic senator-turned-MSNBC regular demanded this week that the New York Times and other media stop fact-checking President Biden, suggesting not enough attention has been given to former President Trump's purported "vomits [of] lies." "I move that every newspaper in America quit doing any fact checks on Joe Biden until they fact-check Donald Trump every morning on the front page," Claire McCaskill said, name-dropping the Gray Lady after it published a lengthy piece about the incumbent and going on to insist Trump's statements be annotated by the paper instead. While reporter Angelo Fichera wrote that the Biden economy reportedly grew 3% in the past year, he added the president has also made "misleading statements" about taxation and the economy. The report listed several other Biden claims which were either flawed, false or lacked context. On "Outnumbered," host Kayleigh McEnany remarked McCaskill might need fa...

Texas law enforcement who responded to Uvalde school shooting ordered to testify before a grand jury: reports

Multiple law enforcement officers have been ordered to appear before a grand jury investigating nearly two years following the deadly Uvalde school shooting that left 19 children and two teachers dead as heavily armed agents hesitated to confront the lone gunman. According to the American-Statesman and KVUE-TV , subpoenas for an in-person hearing have been issued, and a hearing is set to begin at the Uvalde County Courthouse next week. Officers from multiple agencies, including the Texas Department of Public Safety, are expected to be called in front of the 12-member panel during what could be a months-long process, the local outlets said. If found guilty, the hearing could result in criminal charges against officers for failing to urgently stop the gunman in the May 2022 school massacre. The grand jurors are also expected to consider the trove of evidence that can offer a minute-by-minute look at what happened on that Tuesday afternoon.  The American-Statesman and KVUE-TV, c...

Progressive Democrat caucus loses another member over anti-Israel positions

Divisions in the Democrat Party's progressive wing are continuing to deepen in the wake of the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks in Israel, forcing some pro-Israel Democrats out of key factions.   Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y. has left the House Congressional Progressive Caucus, Axios first reported on Wednesday, making him the second Democrat to depart the caucus in recent months. Rep. Lois Frankel, D-Fla., left in November last year.  Torres has been at odds with some of his Democratic colleagues, including far-left "Squad" members about his support for Israel.  In December, he and Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., clashed after she suggested Torres was comfortable with Palestinian casualties as a result of Israel's response to the Hamas attacks.  ANOTHER IVY LEAGUE INSTITUTION FACES LEGAL ACTION FOR DEVOLVING IN 'CAULDRON OF ANTISEMITISM' "Every casualty is a tragedy, every war is a humanitarian crisis, but we have to keep in mind the causes of the war," he told ...

Chicago Mayor Johnson abruptly ends meeting with newspaper after refusing to speak on the record

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson abruptly ended a meeting this week with one of his city's most prominent newspapers after refusing to go on the record.  The Chicago Sun-Times published a blistering report Tuesday about the Democrat's icy relationship with the City Hall press corps, insisting any "honeymoon" he may have had with the media since taking office last year is over. "The City Hall press corps has turned hostile, openly frustrated with a mayor who is seldom accessible and evasive when he does take questions," the Sun-Times reported. "Newspaper editorials are critical and, at times, disdainful while portraying Johnson as in over his head." MAYOR JOHNSON ANNOUNCES CHICAGO WILL CANCEL SHOTSPOTTER DEAL DESIGNED TO COMBAT CRIME The Sun-Times then revealed that Johnson backed out of a scheduled meeting with the paper's editorial board, which was supposed to be "an apparent effort to turn things around" with his relations to the...

Widow, aides to Haitian President Moïse indicted in his assassination

A judge in Haiti responsible for investigating the July 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse has indicted his widow, Martine Moïse, ex-prime minister Claude Joseph and the former chief of Haiti’s National Police, Léon Charles, among others, according to a report obtained Monday. The indictments are expected to further destabilize Haiti as it struggles with a surge in gang violence and recovers from a spate of violent protests demanding the resignation of current Prime Minister Ariel Henry. Dozens of suspects were indicted in the 122-page report issued by Walther Wesser Voltaire, who is the fifth judge to lead the investigation after previous ones stepped down for various reasons, including fear of being killed. TORCHED SUGARCANE FIELDS MAKE HAITIAN RUM INDUSTRY LATEST VICTIM OF COUNTRY'S GANG CRISIS Charles, who was police chief when Moïse was killed and now serves as Haiti’s permanent representative to the Organization of the American States, faces the most serious c...

Democrat Maine governor touts location for a key wind port, seeks to lead in offshore wind energy

A state-owned site on the coast of Maine will serve as the location of an offshore wind port critical to developing the nation's first floating offshore wind power research array, the state's governor said Tuesday. Democratic Gov. Janet Mills signed a bill last year that aims to see Maine procure enough energy from offshore wind turbines to power about half its electric load by 2040. An offshore wind port to build, stage and deploy the turbine equipment is a major component of that effort. The port is also key for developing the research array, which would include up to 12 turbines on semi-submersible concrete platforms in federal waters. Mills said Tuesday the state has selected state-owned Sears Island, about 117 miles northeast of Portland, as the preferred site for the port facility. The site would take up about 100 acres (40.47 hectares) of the 941-acre (380.81-hectare) island and is the most feasible place to build the port, Mills said. TOP HOUSE REPUBLICAN ENDORSES...

'The View' co-host upsets fellow liberal hosts after deeming Trump punishment in NY civil case 'excessive'

"The View" co-hosts Sara Haines and Alyssa Farah Griffin argued on Tuesday that the punishment in the New York civil case against Donald Trump was "excessive," which prompted some sharp disagreement from their fellow liberal hosts.   "I cared the least about this case of all of Donald Trump’s. For all intents and purposes, it’s a victimless crime. He did inflate his assets in an egregious way. If I pretended my apartment was three times the size it was to try to get a loan, I would have consequences," Griffin said as Joy Behar pushed back and said taxpayers got "screwed" because of it.  She said cases like the New York civil case took the seriousness off of some other other cases against the former president, specifically citing the case in Georgia and the federal case against him related to Jan. 6.  "These are the most important cases. What I hate this is, Trump is going to use this judgment to say, ‘look, it’s a witch-hunt. They’re try...

Yankees slugger looks very slim at spring training with hopes to be 'more mobile' in 2024

Coming off a career-worst season, New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton knew he needed to make a big change this offseason heading into 2024.  That change was on full display as he reported to Yankees’ spring training in Tampa Bay, as Stanton looked very slim compared to his usual, muscular stature.  That’s not saying Stanton, who has crushed 402 homers in his 14-year MLB career, still isn’t going to be sending baseball over the fence this season. But his appearance was a calculated change this offseason, as he wanted a "more movement-based" build, per The New York Post.  CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM "Be a baseball player again," Stanton said when asked why he made this physical change. "I just needed to be more mobile. A lot of setbacks [last season] kept me not moving the way I’d like to be." Now, Stanton wouldn’t reveal his weight, but it’s surely down from the 245 pounds he was at 6-foot-6 last season. He said he was r...

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A missile attack by Yemen's Houthi rebels that damaged a Belize-flagged ship traveling through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait that connects the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden has forced the crew to abandon the vessel, authorities said Monday. Another ship reportedly came twice under attack in the Gulf of Aden. The Iran-backed Houthis also claimed they shot down an American MQ-9 Reaper drone, something not immediately acknowledged by U.S. forces in the region. However, the Houthis have downed U.S. drones before.

Race, gender debate brewing after Fani Willis' hearing testimony: 'High-profile Black woman'

A conversation about race and gender is  beginning to brew as Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis attempts to maintain her post as the lead prosecutor in the election racketeering case against former President Trump. Willis, the district attorney for Fulton County, Georgia, previously said the allegations brought against her of having an "improper" romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade were made because she is Black. Now, a little more than a month after making that claim, a handful of Willis' proponents are echoing her position. Bishop Reginald T. Jackson, the presiding prelate of the Sixth Episcopal District of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Georgia , told the New York Times he believes Willis wouldn't be facing the allegations of misconduct if she were "not a woman and Black."
