Nearly two dozen people were killed and 15 were injured by a large wild bull elephant that went on a 10-day rampage through several towns in eastern India, terrorizing locals who reportedly climbed trees and slept on rooftops to stay out of its reach. The single-tusked male struck first on New Year’s Day when it killed a 35-year-old man in the village of Bandijhari in Jharkhand’s West Singhbhum district. Four days later, the animal killed five members of the same family in the nearby town of Sowan. The next day, it killed five more people in Babaria, including a married...

Investigative author Peter Schweizer alleges the Mexican government is operating a coordinated influence effort inside the United States, using diplomatic missions, education programs and migrant outreach initiatives in ways he argues go far beyond traditional diplomacy. In an interview with Fox News Digital, Schweizer said his forthcoming book, “The Invisible Coup,” available Tuesday, documents what he describes as “weaponized immigration,” a strategy he claims Mexican officials view as a means to exert political leverage inside the U.S. “Foreign powers are using migration as a weapon to undermine American sovereignty,” Schweizer said. “Mexico is a clear example of this.” Schweizer pointed...

For the first time, most people diagnosed with cancer are expected to live at least five years beyond their diagnosis—a dramatic improvement from previous decades. The improvements detailed in the organization’s Cancer Statistics 2026 report, recently published in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, highlight significant progress in cancer survival rates in the United States. “Seven in 10 people now survive their cancer five years or more, up from only half in the mid-70s,” Rebecca Siegel, senior scientific director at the American Cancer Society (ACS), said in a press statement.

HOBBS, N.M. (KRQE) – The Hobbs woman found guilty of throwing her newborn baby in a dumpster has lost her latest attempt to appeal her conviction. Alexis Avila received a 16-year sentence after she was seen on camera throwing her newborn in the trash bin behind a Hobbs shopping center.

The Supreme Court denied her request, meaning she has to serve her full sentence.

We are quickly approaching the Marco Rubio singularity. Before we know it the entire Washington D.C. megaplex will just be one giant Rubio. From Little Marco making fun of Trump's tiny hands, to being one of the most important people in the second Trump Administration. It's almost like Rubio is scooping up open positions like they're Pokémon. He's gotta catch them all.

The Supreme Court of India now holds the fate of a single young man and, with him, the moral direction of the country. If the justices authorize the withdrawal of food and fluids from 31-year-old Harish Rana, they will not only decide how one life ends. They will create India’s first concrete case of court-sanctioned “passive euthanasia” under the Common Cause framework and set a precedent for every similarly vulnerable person who cannot speak in their own defense. Common Cause is the 2018 judgment in which the Court read a “right to die with dignity” into Article 21 of the...

Lefty California Rep. Eric Swalwell is forcefully pushing back against a lawsuit claiming he can’t run for governor because he doesn’t actually live in the Golden State, calling the accusation “nonsense” and politically motivated.

Security concerns tied to repeated death threats against Swalwell explain why a campaign office address was listed on legal filings, according to campaign consultant Kate Maeder. She called the practice legal and common in California politics. Right-wing filmmaker Joel Gilbert, who filed the suit, claims Swalwell actually...

An ultra-slender Ellen DeGeneres offered her two cents about the recent turmoil occurring in Minneapolis on Sunday. The roughly minute-long missive appeared to be filmed from the former talk show host's $19million UK manse. In it, DeGeneres, 67, took the time criticize United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, while praising protesters she said had 'been hurt just for protesting.' The remarks appeared to be a reference to 37-year-old Renee Good, a Minneapolis woman fatally shot by an ICE agent at a protest on January 7. The incident is currently under investigation and DeGeneres earlier in the day penned...
