FIRST ON FOX: The same hard-left network behind "No Kings" and other protests is leading the battle against data centers and Flock surveillance cameras, according to a Fox News Digital investigation and a new report. In growing protests from San Francisco to North Carolina, organizations and activists associated with the same ecosystem that rallied against President Donald Trump, Israel, Elon Musk, Tesla and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) over the last two years are now taking on data-center construction and license-plate readers. The overlap includes organizations funded by pro-China, Shanghai-based tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham, whose sprawling nonprofit and media...

My latest song. Stay warm.

Gloria Steinem doesn’t have her facts straight, but don’t expect the media to call her out on it. On Tuesday, feminist activist Gloria Steinem appeared as a guest on PBS’ Tavis Smiley. During the show, Steinem praised abortion for giving her “my life” and bashed the controversy surrounding Planned Parenthood’s practice of aborted baby parts. She blamed the “attack” on Planned Parenthood on everything from the “ultra-right wing” to “patriarchy” and a “long-term racist system.” Host Tavis Smiley hailed Steinem as a “feminist icon” and “renowned social activist” before asking about her newly published book, My Life on the Road....

If you’re looking to get married, the place to go might be the Provo area in Utah. Or maybe Fort Wayne and the southern suburbs in Indiana. Both locations feature some of the highest rates of new marriages over the past year in the country, according to a new project by the Institute for Family Studies (IFS) called the Marriage Map. In the Provo area, fully 13.2 percent of never-married adults aged 22 to 39 got married last year. In the Fort Wayne area, the number was 10.6 percent. The Marriage Map is a newly released, interactive online map created...

Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy had jokes for Vice President JD Vance during the latter’s press briefing Thursday. The event was the first since former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt exited the post in August. “I just want to ask you, if there’s been reports about this, but I have not heard you talk much about you lost a ton of weight lately. How much sauerkraut do you eat in a day?” Doocy asked. Vance appeared caught off guard by the question. “Oh my lord, okay. So when you’re the vice president of United States and one...

The 2026 WNBA season may be on pause, but action hasn’t stopped as nearly a quarter of the league heads to Berlin to battle for gold at the 2026 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup.

On Thursday, 33 Democrats joined Republicans to pass a law that would take federal funding away from academic institutions involved in any kind of boycott of or divestment from Israel. The legislation passed 237–169. The Protect Economic and Academic Freedom Act, headed by Republican Representative Virginia Foxx and Democratic Representative Josh Gottheimer, strips federal funding from any school that carries out a “nonexpressive commercial boycott” of Israel—like “refusals to deal” with it on a business level. Notably, the bill also applies to boycotts of institutions based in Israeli settlements. “Thank you @RepJoshG and @virginiafoxx for leading this important bipartisan effort...

The government also placed Karyann Parkinson on its child abuse and neglect registry, where she will remain for seven years. ================================================================= A mom of five was convicted last week of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Her offense: allowing her 5-year-old son to walk about a half-mile by himself in their gated community. Until very recently, Karyann Parkinson lived in leafy Williamsburg, Virginia. She and her husband, Dallin, moved there from Utah so Parkinson could attend William and Mary Law School. In June, when Parkinson was preparing for the bar—and also happened to be eight months pregnant with her...

Gloria Steinem Blames El Rushbo for Feminism's Failure (Rush Limbaugh Clips)

A California motorcyclist appeared to intentionally accelerate into a crowd of protesters outside an Amazon warehouse, injuring two demonstrators and landing himself in jail, authorities said. The incident unfolded around 10:28 a.m. Wednesday, outside a distribution warehouse in the 20,000 block of Krameria Avenue in the unincorporated Riverside area, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Multiple callers reported an altercation, including one who told deputies a motorcyclist had driven into the crowd and struck two people. When deputies from the Perris Sheriff’s Station arrived, they found three injured people. All three were taken to a local hospital in stable...

I guess the Lindsay Clancy trial has put an end to that whole thing about a woman being president. Clancy has become a feminist hero for slaughtering her three children, whose names, in case anyone cares, were Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. For that brave response to “postpartum depression,” she’s attracted hundreds of female admirers, who stand petulantly outside the courthouse in pink T-shirts, demanding her acquittal. When Muslims pull this crap, blaming their gang rapes on the trauma of being asylum seekers, we’re not as understanding. But when women claim mental anguish from giving birth, we’re...

Those who adhere to a strict "don't speak ill of the recently deceased" protocol will want to sit this one out, because your boy here is gonna unload. One of the most execrable figures to emerge from the counterculture movement of the 1960s has passed away. Feminist icon Gloria Steinem died on Wednesday at the age of 92. There is no denying that Steinem was a powerful force in American culture and that her legacy will live on. The perspective on whether any of that is good or bad exists on either side of a very wide ideological divide. The...

The New Species of Demon-Named Flower Feeds on Fungi Instead of SunlightIn A Nutshell Researchers in Thailand discovered a new flower species, Thismia daemona, named for its dark, horn-like, demon-inspired appearance. The plant has no chlorophyll and never needs sunlight, instead pulling nutrients from underground fungi. Fewer than 50 known individuals exist, all in a single patch of forest inside a national park popular with tourists. Scientists have preliminarily assessed the species as Critically Endangered under IUCN criteria. High in the mountain forests of western Thailand, researchers stumbled on a flower that looks like it belongs in a horror movie....

When Oklahoma inmate Steve Wilbanks spoke to a reporter by phone in late July, it had been six weeks since he worked in a prison call center, placing calls on behalf of insurance companies attempting to poach business from competitors and making political calls as primary elections were underway across the country. “I had good numbers,” Wilbanks, who is incarcerated at the James Crabtree Correctional Center in Helena, said. “I was a producer.” Wilbanks was one of four inmates who spoke with reporters about the call center work. Contracts obtained via an open records request confirm that a company called...

The federal government plans to start excavation over the next two weeks on a massive triumphal arch across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum said Thursday, launching a controversial project championed by President Trump. Construction at the site is expected to take two to three years, with an intense 20-hour-a-day, year-round work schedule, the National Park Service has said, meaning the project could wrap up toward the end of Mr. Trump's second term. The 250-foot-tall arch — which will be clad in granite and topped by three golden statues plus an observation deck —...

WASHINGTON — Oman has quietly rejected Iran’s request to jointly charge service fees on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, The Post has learned — averting a clash with President Trump, who has threatened to rain down bombs on the US ally. A high-ranking regional official said that Muscat declined to consent to charging fees — even on a voluntary basis — for environmental and security services, contrary to a statement last week from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The terms of a proposed revenue-sharing deal had not been finalized, even by Tehran, a US official told The Post...
