FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) — Two accused thieves targeted a clothing store near Downtown Fresno Monday afternoon—but likely never expected what happened next. “I’m infuriated. They’re kids,” said Hermila Sanchez, owner of Sanchez Women’s Apparel on Fresno Street. She says the two teenage boys walked into her store around 2p.m. and made a beeline for stacks of Levi’s 501 jeans. “They’re our biggest seller,” said Maritza Solorio, Sanchez’s daughter. Solorio says most of the stack the teenagers stole had been on hold—saved for people who reserved them online. Instead, she says they grabbed the piles of jeans, a few shirts and...

Despite his grandson saying he was 'limited' as he turned 100, Jimmy Carter spent his birthday in the sunshine enjoying a military flyover at his Georgia home. Carter - the first American president to reach the century mark - was able to watch a flyover of four F-18 jets and several vintage planes that graced the skies over Plains, Georgia as part of the town's celebrations. He was also feted at Plains High School, where Carter graduated in 1941 and which now serves as the visitor center for the national park that features sites from his early life, including the...

Climate change is exacerbating the risk of potentially dangerous mosquito-borne diseases in California — threatening to turn more of those annoying-but-harmless bites into severe illnesses, experts say. California already grapples with West Nile virus, a potentially deadly disease that was first detected in the state about two decades ago. But officials are now warning of a potential new foe: dengue, a viral infection that in the most serious cases can also lead to life-threatening complications. Until last year, all dengue cases reported in California were associated with people traveling to a country where the disease is common. But Los Angeles...

Well well well, what do you know? Seems Tim Walz hasn't exactly been honest or forthcoming about his connections and relationships with Communist China. Then again, there's not much this guy has been honest or forthcoming about so we're hardly surprised. This thread though ... it's a doozy. Take a gander.

On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Your World,” Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) acknowledged “there are serious challenges in the world” like the tensions in the Middle East and the port strike, but “many of these challenges are as a result of Donald Trump’s policies and things he set in motion and we need serious people right now to address that.” Host Neil Cavuto asked, [relevant exchange begins around 1:00] “[T]his message coming today about, now you have a port strike going on, you’ve got this turbulence in the Middle East again, that seems to be a constant,...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” CNN Senior Political Commentator and former Obama adviser David Axelrod stated that 2024 Democratic vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) “has had an interesting relationship with China.” And said that he expects Walz’s GOP counterpart, Sen.

In the past 10 years breast cancer has risen 1.4 percent in white under-50s, compared to 0.7 percent in over-50s, or double the rate. Olivia Munn is among the women in their 40s to have been diagnosed with the disease, after revealing in March that she was diagnosed with the cancer last year at the age of 43 years — just two months after a mammogram said she was all clear. The report, published this week, found that about 310,700 women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. Of these, an estimated 13,180, about four percent, are under 40 years...

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has survived a second non-confidence motion in parliament in as many weeks. The motion, brought by the opposition Conservatives, was aimed at bringing down his minority Liberal government and triggering a federal election. The motion failed after Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre again fell short in his effort to gain the backing of other political parties in parliament. Poilievre tabled this second non-confidence motion the day after his last one failed. This motion accused the government of failing Canadians on affordable housing, the cost of living, and crime - key issues that the Conservatives have been...

Mayor Adams’ corruption indictment involving the government of Turkey seems like weak tea compared to other recent scandals. But it also indicates just how intertwined America’s ruling class has become with foreign governments — and foreign money. ... Adams asserts that the prosecution is payback for his criticism of Biden-Harris immigration policies ... American politics, all the way to the top, is riddled with corruption and foreign cash ... Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) revealed an extravaganza of gold bars and envelopes full of cash (along with a Mercedes and, weirdly, basement carpeting) in exchange for favors ... involving gifts and...

Christians, it's time for us to throw our full support behind Kamala Harris for president.Here are the best reasons to vote for Kamala:She can't talk very good, just like Moses: She has clearly been chosen by God.David French is voting for her: As David French goes, so goes all of Christendom.You can get sent to maximum security prison for protesting an abortion clinic — a great witnessing opportunity: Think of all the good you can do.Speaking of abortion, murdered babies go straight to Heaven: Don't you want babies in Heaven?The church has always grown under persecution: We need persecution now...

To be fair, pretty much every question is too tough for Kamala. But this one is a real softball:WATCH Kamala Harris STRUGGLE to answer: "Should folks stand for the National Anthem?"The horrifying thing about Harris is that, not only is she a far left-winger, she is also hopelessly stupid. I have tried to be charitable and give her the benefit of the doubt, but we have seen it over and over: she is as dumb as Joe Biden is senile. I tremble for our country if she wins the election, which she very well might.

Colin Allred is gaining on Ted CruzTed Cruz is one of the most high-profile Republicans in the U.S. Senate. He is also one of the most vulnerable — and he has a fight on his hands in Texas. Cruz is "fighting for his political survival," said The New York Times. His reelection race against challenger Colin Allred, a Democratic congressman and former football star, is "increasingly competitive." Polls show Cruz clinging to a slim, single-digit lead. That has some GOP officials "concerned" that Cruz could lose the seat, said the Times. If so, Republicans could also lose the opportunity to...
