The contentious music video for Jason Aldean's "Try That in a Small Town" was slightly changed as it continues to climb the charts and draw criticism. Did the singer finally cave in to pressure and the immense cancel culture? The music video is currently six seconds shorter than when it was first uploaded on July 14, according to The Washington Post, which published this information on Tuesday, July 25. The initial video appears to have been edited to exclude news footage from Fox 5 Atlanta showing Black Lives Matter marches and protests in 2020. In the initial version of the...

Thomas has come under scrutiny from liberals over his family's friendship with GOP donor Harlan CrowA pizza chain with locations in a handful of states along the eastern region of the country has taken aim at Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas by listing "every pie on sale" in an effort to highlight his reported friendship with a wealthy GOP donor. "Every pie on sale, Just like Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas," read a Monday morning email from &pizza, a fast-casual restaurant with locations in Washington, D.C., Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. As part of the deal, each...

As the Ukrainian spring bloodily transitions into summer, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Generals are trying to manage a stalled, if not, failed winter offensive in the Donbas that has left as many as 75,000 Russian soldiers and Wagner Group mercenaries dead. As the Kremlin’s overall casualties continue to mount, upwards of 200,000 according to the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defense, it is becoming increasingly clear we are likely seeing the beginning of the end of Putin in Ukraine – especially as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his Generals draw nearer Kyiv’s much-anticipated counteroffensive. Ukraine is a vast Texas-size...

As former President Donald Trump ramps up his 2024 presidential campaign, new polling reveals that while more than half of Americans believe he intentionally did something illegal after his indictment, many believe it was politically motivated. Trump was arraigned Tuesday in New York City on charges stemming from alleged 2016 hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, making him the first former president in American history to be criminally charged. A recent ABC News/Ipsos poll found that 48% of Americans think Trump should suspend his presidential campaign following the indictment, up 5 points from last week. The survey...

Arroyo reacted by saying Republicans have plenty of investigatory fodder, but they should tread lightly. “Look, there’s a ton of things to investigate,” he began, before pivoting to a critique of McCarthy’s “Commitment to America” that he rolled out ahead of the midterms. “It was so broad and vague, it was not a governing agenda,” Arroyo continued, noting he could not even remember the name of the document. “It didn’t have the specificity of, ‘We will do this, this, this.’ It just said, We’re gonna make you economically free, we’re gonna make you happier, we’re going to give you more...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy traveled to one of the most dangerous battlefronts in the war against Russia Tuesday when visiting with his troops on the front lines in Bakhmut.

“Fair, Balanced and Unafraid” is now a distant memory. Whatever the cause, considering the Fox News Channel to be a name to trust is a complete waste of time. The fix is in. Fox News reports on what they are told, not what is important for the country. This includes the most popular shows in the evening, Jesse Waters, Tucker Carlson, Shawn Hannity, and Laura Ingraham. All four still appear to be fighting for our country, but only on approved stories. This has been going on for quite some time, but the absolute proof is that — based on what...

Fox Business host Stuart Varney blasted former President Trump, saying his time as the leader of the GOP is likely coming to an end and a loss by Herschel Walker in Tuesday’s Georgia Senate runoff election would essentially be Trump’s fault. “There’s a lot at stake here, more than just a balance of power in the Senate, it’s about the state of the Republican Party and Trump’s role in it,” Varney said Tuesday of Georgia’s runoff contest. “He seems to be losing what used to be his iron grip on the GOP and he still has a hard core of...

One anonymous Western official at the time told Reuters that Ukraine was seeing "kinetic effects" behind Russian lines, which was having "a significant psychological effect on the Russian leadership." The U.K. defense ministry pointed out that the Monday "explosions" were more significant given their locations hundreds of miles across Russian borders. At least two Tu-95 BEAR heavy bombers were damaged in the explosions and three people were reportedly killed. Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday called a meeting with his security council to discuss the country's domestic defenses after three airbases saw "explosions" this week. Russian officials looked to shore...

Fox News announced on Sunday it has cut ties with former President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump, a decision that comes as Donald Trump is gearing up for a 2024 presidential campaign. “We appreciate Lara’s valuable contributions across Fox News Media programming,” a Fox News spokesperson told the Washington Post. A Fox News source told the Post the decision to cut ties with Lara Trump was due to the network’s “ban on political activity.” Fox News apparently does not employ contributors who are running for office. But Lara Trump is not running for office. It appears Fox News has widened...
