Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered an investigation into a Texas hospital Tuesday after it confirmed to Fox News that it advertised Spanish-language "Birth Packages in South Texas" on billboards in Mexico promoting childbirth services to pregnant foreign nationals near the U.S.-Mexico border. Mission Regional Medical Center confirmed to Fox News that it was responsible for the advertising campaign, which promoted deliveries starting at $3,950 for a natural birth and $5,525 for a C-section, and directed viewers to a website, havemybabyinTEXAS.com, which has since been taken offline. The billboards also displayed a telephone number beginning with "001," the country code used...

The town where I grew up is a small suburb of Philadelphia called Lafayette Hill. As a kid, I was only vaguely aware that the town was something of a historic site, mostly thanks to the General Lafayette Inn, a old-time watering hole that has perched at the curve of Germantown Pike since the 1730s. Situated a mere ten miles as the crow flies from Valley Forge, the area near the town was the site of an abortive attempt by British General Howe to bring the Continental Army to battle by cutting off a contingent sent to reconnoiter an area...

What if Pope Leo spoke to the new SSPX bishops the way he spoke to the Anglican archbishop?Here's how Pope Leo XIV's letter of congratulations to Archbishop of Canterbury Sarah Mullally would sound addressed to the new SSPX bishops instead. The following is the original letter written by Pope Leo XIV to Dame Sarah Mullally on the occasion of her installation as the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury. The text has been adapted by crossing out certain words and phrases from the original and replacing them (shown in bold) with new wording, so that the letter now addresses the four newly...

A student pilot was forced to land her plane alone after her instructor 'jumped' from the aircraft during their flight in Argentina. The 22-year-old had been training with her instructor, Leandro Bertazzo, 42, in a Cessna C-150 when he evacuated the aircraft. Although investigators are looking into the reasons behind his sudden death, the student, who is believed to have a pilot's licence but few flying hours under her belt, has claimed he opened the plane's window and jumped. Despite watching Mr Bertazzo plunge to his death, she still managed to land the Cessna C-150 safely and unaided at Coronel...

The Wall Street Journal reported this week that Macron made the decision earlier this year after American forces carried out a precision strike in Venezuela that led to the arrest of former dictator Nicolas Maduro.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear is asking Mitch McConnell, the senior senator from his state, for an update on his health and whether he believes he can continue to serve in the role. Beshear, a Democrat, sent a letter to McConnell’s office on Wednesday urging the senator to be “transparent” as “Kentuckians have grown increasingly concerned about the current state of your health and wellbeing, and ability to hold office in the United States Senate.” Beshear’s letter comes 24 days after the 84-year-old Kentucky Republican was first hospitalized following a medical emergency that his office has declined to elaborate on. Since...

WASHINGTON, July 7 (Reuters) - The U.S. Treasury Department is no longer planning to put anti-slavery crusader Harriet Tubman on a $20 bill, Treasury ‌Secretary Scott Bessent has told Spectrum News. "We are not at present," Bessent said when ‌asked in a Monday interview if Treasury was still planning to move ahead with the decade-old plan. Bessent did not ​elaborate, and a Treasury spokesperson declined to comment beyond Bessent's remark. The Obama administration announced in 2016 that Tubman, who was born into slavery in the early 1820s and went on to help hundreds of slaves escape, would replace seventh U.S....

President Trump told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Wednesday he would grant Kyiv a license to make its own critically needed Patriot air-defense missiles, joking: “This way, you can’t complain that we’re not giving them enough.” “One of the things I think we’re going to be talking about today, a little birdie told me this, about the fact that we’ll give them the right to make Patriots,” Trump said ahead of his closed-door sitdown with Zelensky on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Turkey. Patriot missiles have long been in short supply, but now are running critically low — forcing...

The socialist wave has already crashed well beyond New York City. Now the Democratic Socialists of America is even taking swings at swing states. The latest far-left darling is Francesca Hong, a leading candidate to win the Democrat primary in the Wisconsin governor’s race. One might call her the Zohran Mamdani of the Midwest, but there are a few contenders now vying for that title. Hong has unsurprisingly grabbed hold of the issues that have become hallmarks of the insurgency taking place within the Democratic Party. She has stood proudly by her “democratic socialist” label, made wealthy people the bogeymen...

Pay yourself first — over and over again! Shameless city lawmakers are pushing to give themselves eye-watering 18.2% raises — in a scheme that will also give them automatic pay hikes of at least 2% every year in the future. City Council Member Nantasha Williams (D-27) introduced a bill that would inflate her and her colleagues’ salaries from $148,500 to $175,500 backdated to January, while also ballooning pay for the mayor, the City Council speaker and other elected positions. The bill comes days after the lawmakers signed off on a record-breaking $126 billion city budget and includes salaries even higher...

A self-proclaimed time traveler from the year 3700 has resurfaced with a chilling warning for humanity - a devastating war is coming. The man, who identified himself only as Mike, appeared in a video from an undisclosed location wearing a plaid shirt and with his face blurred and voice distorted. He claimed that by the year 3000, robots had replaced humans in many roles and, centuries later, turned against their creators.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on Wednesday she did not regret her efforts to forge ​close ties with U.S. President Donald Trump, despite a series of ‌public disagreements that have strained relations between the erstwhile friends. Meloni was once seen as one of Trump's closest allies in Europe, but in recent months she has become the target ​of attacks from the White House leader in media interviews and ​social media posts. "No, I absolutely don't regret anything I've done," Meloni ⁠said in Ankara, at the end of a NATO summit also attended ​by Trump, when asked whether she had...

A federal appeals court has unanimously upheld the dismissal of a civil lawsuit that was filed against Minnesota State Trooper Ryan Londregan by the estate of Ricky Cobb II, who was shot and killed by Londregan during a traffic stop in 2023. The Cobb family claimed in their civil lawsuit that Londregan’s and Trooper Brett Seide’s actions during the stop constituted unreasonable seizure and excessive force. But Judge Nancy Brasel rejected those arguments in an October 2024 ruling — and now the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has agreed. In regards to the unreasonable seizure claims, the court wrote that...

A gamble by Nigel Farage, leader of Britain's populist Reform UK, to trigger an election for his own parliamentary seat could mean the only opponent he will face during campaigning is a man with a trash can on his head, ‌better known as Count Binface. Farage, 62, under investigation in parliament over millions of pounds of gifts from wealthy backers, has said he wants voters in ‌his Clacton electoral district, in southeast England, to judge his actions, not what he characterises as a liberal "establishment" bent on discrediting him. Many voters in the beach town, which is famous for its...

House Republicans are investigating reports that American Federation of Teachers union dues were used to help produce, promote, and publish union President Randi Weingarten's book, which publisher Penguin Random House called "a manifesto for our time." Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Mich., chair of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, and Rep. Rick Allen, R-Ga., chair of the Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor, and Pensions, wrote a letter Tuesday to Weingarten. They cited reports that the "AFT expended substantial funds on consultants, legal services, publication-related expenses, fact-checking services, photography, and other activities connected" to her book Why Fascists Fear Teachers:...

Several Republicans said they spoke with Senator Mitch McConnell this week, who remains hospitalized after being admitted on June 14. The comments from Senate Majority Leader Thune, Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso, and Republican strategist Scott Jennings are the first to shed any light on McConnell’s condition since his hospitalization last month. McConnell’s office has so far only released very limited information, which has fueled speculation about his diagnosis and condition online. Jennings described a 20-minute call with the 84-year-old Kentucky Republican in which he said they discussed several key political issues.

The Justice Department is warning state election officials that they could face criminal penalties if they fail to carry out their responsibilities under federal election law, including measures designed to prevent noncitizens from voting in federal elections. Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon sent letters to election officials in at least six states, including Arizona, Colorado and Nevada, reminding them of the department’s enforcement authority, according to letters obtained by ABC News. “In addition to the Civil Rights Division’s authority to seek injunctive relief for violations of these laws, we are also authorized to prosecute criminal violations,” Dhillon...
