After making Los Angeles his home for more than two decades, Ozzy Osbourne has decided it’s time to return to the U.K. The Osbournes’ home in California is already up for sale, and their residence in England is already being prepared for their early 2023 arrival. “It’s a very weird place to live right now,” Sharon Osbourne said of living in America. Over the past several years Ozzy, 73, has dealt with numerous health issues – Parkinson’s diagnosis, neck surgery, a fall in the bathroom, two staph infections, blood clots, and more – and while all are enough for anyone...

Megyn Kelly did not hold back in her criticisms against now-former MSNBC Tiffany Cross after news broke on Friday her contract was not renewed and she had been abruptly let go by the network. According to Variety, Cross was fired from the network because "executives at the network growing concerned about the anchor’s willingness to address statements made by cable-news hosts on other networks and indulging in commentary executives felt did not meet the standards of MSNBC or NBC News." Cross frequently sparred with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who would often call her out for racially charged statements against...

Elon Musk wasted no time in reshaping Twitter's workforce, cutting about half of the company's 7,500 employees on Friday, but now the social media platform is reportedly trying to bring some of those workers back. Dozens of workers are being asked to return, some of whom were laid off by mistake and others who have experience building features that the new Twitter owner wants. Musk tweeted on Friday that Twitter's layoffs were necessary because the company was losing more than $4 million per day. The Tesla CEO hinted at big changes in the lead-up to closing the deal, tweeting in...

More than one-quarter of state lawmakers whose seats are up for election across the U.S. are guaranteed to be gone from office next year — a statistic certain to grow when the votes are counted from the November general election. A combination of retirements, term limits, redistricting changes and primary defeats — especially among Republicans facing conservative challengers — already has driven turnover in state capitols to its highest rate in more than a decade. More incumbents will lose Tuesday, as voters decide nearly 6,300 state legislative races in 46 states. “There are going to be a lot of new...

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced his support for Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) on Saturday despite his former boss Donald Trump's disapproval. DeSantis will be facing off against Democratic candidate and former Gov. Charlie Crist on Tuesday for the governor's seat in Florida, yet many have speculated the popular incumbent could do well as a presidential candidate. Trump bragged that over 70% of Republicans surveyed in a Rasmussen poll in September wanted him to be president again, while only 10% supported DeSantis, who he has dubbed "DeSanctimonious." The former president's recent jabs at DeSantis did not dissuade Pompeo from...

Americans could suffer from Big Tech firms laying off workers and freezing hiring as the economy remains volatile, the founder of a Bay Area job search community told Fox News. "The average American will probably be impacted, at least in some form, by what may happen in this next economic downturn in the tech industry," Albert's List founder Albert Qian said. "We touch these things every single day, whether it's Google Search, a store on Amazon, an Apple device." "When the Microsofts, the Googles, the Amazons, the Twitters, when those companies start laying off people, that's when we need to...

The only explanation for the mandate is that it was implemented to deter right-leaning poll workers from overseeing election procedures. ... The city of Madison is requiring that election inspectors and poll workers “Provide proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19, proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test, or obtain a medical or religious exemption in advance of working the polls.” Mark Jefferson, the executive director of the Wisconsin Republican Party, told The Federalist that Madison originally had a blanket Covid mandate with no exceptions at the start of this year. However, after the Republican Party began pursuing legal recourse,...

An anti-Russia “bot army” of fake automated Twitter accounts flooded the Internet with pro-Ukraine propaganda at the start of the Russia-Ukraine war, according to a mostly unreported study by a team of researchers at the University of Adelaide in Australia. Up to 80 percent of tweets pushing the pro-Ukraine side in the beginning days of the Russia-Ukraine war were posted by bots, according to the study which examined over 5 million tweets. “The university researchers also found these automated tweets had been purposely used to drive up fear amongst people targeted by them, boosting a high level of statistically measurable...

ROCHESTER — Former President Donald Trump has re-upped his endorsement of conservative write-in state legislative candidate Adam Steen in the final week before Election Day. In a new prerecorded robocall, Trump again attacks incumbent Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, calling Vos “a horrendous RINO,” shorthand for Republican In Name Only. The former president tells voters to write-in Steen and calls Vos “an absolute disaster … Vos has really let you down on voter integrity and just about everything else.”

“Israel’s future guarantees our salvation.” Amir Tsarfati began his sermon with these words while speaking a few years ago at Calvary Chapel Church in Kaneohe, Hawaii, JD Farag’s church. As I listened to his message and thought about his startling claim, I realized his assertion was totally correct. In my book, The Triumph of the Redeemed, I wrote the following: “Consider this: If God can break His covenants with such Old Testament champions of the faith as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and David, what does that say about His promises regarding our salvation? If God can renege on His unconditional promises...

Meta reported more than 87,000 employees at the end of September. Company officials already told employees to cancel nonessential travel beginning this week, the people said. The planned layoffs would be the first broad...

The best part about unhinged Hollywood has-beens like Bette Midler, Cher, Chelsea Handler, et al., is twofold. First, how seriously they not only take themselves but also, how seriously they assume others take them. Second, their total ignorance of how much they entertain the rest of us with their silly venom. The no-longer-“Divine Miss M” must’ve gotten up on the wrong side of the bed Friday morning. That, or perhaps her mental state was “altered” for any number of other reasons. Either way, Midler went after “MAGA women” with a vengeance, hysterically declaring they should “move to Iran” if they...

People Magazine has reported that a woman in Texas nearly died because state law didn’t allow her to have an abortion when she was diagnosed with an incompetent (or insufficient) cervix. The devastating news came as a shock when she was 18 weeks pregnant. However, induced abortion is not the treatment for an incompetent cervix, and it never has been. It appears, instead, that the woman’s doctors may have acted with negligence — and now the death of this woman’s daughter is being exploited in order to promote legalized abortion. Amanda Zurawski told People that she had “what felt like...
