The man who went viral for lobbing racially charged insults at Virginia gubernatorial candidate Winsome Earle-Sears during a college football game earlier this month, subsequently filed a police report claiming he was getting harassed after the incident went viral. The Fairfax County Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that it was aware of the police report that was filed and that, ultimately, the department's threat assessment unit found that the information provided did not meet the criteria for a criminal investigation. "Go back to Haiti!," the man from the viral video yelled at Sears, a Republican, during a James...

The possible foundation of a monumental Roman tomb has been unearthed in southern Germany, in what was once the Roman province of Raetia, according to a La Brújula Verde report. Situated next to a Roman road, the circular structure measures about 40 feet in diameter and would have supported an earthen mound, or tumulus, surrounded by a retaining wall. A square base that may have supported a stele or a statue was uncovered on its southern side. No human remains or grave goods have been discovered within the circle, however, suggesting that it may have been an empty tomb, or...

Around 4,500 years ago, while the stones of Stonehenge were still in their quarry, another monument was already standing in the north -- taller, stranger, and far less understood. The Devil's Arrows at Boroughbridge are among the most remarkable prehistoric megalithic monuments in Britain, yet they remain largely unknown and unstudied. In this video, we'll look at what we actually know about them: their enormous scale, unusual form, and the effort required to move and raise them. We'll explore their archaeology, possible Neolithic origins, and their link to other ancient sites like the Thornborough Henges. Were they markers, monuments, or...

Shield AI's X-BAT designed to counter China's strategy of destroying American aircraft before they leave the ground Analysts say China has developed a chilling strategy for fighting a war with the United States: destroy America’s fighter jets before they ever leave the ground. In nearly every modern conflict, disabling enemy aircraft on the ground has been the first move. When Israel struck Iranian nuclear sites earlier this year, it began by destroying Iranian runways — grounding Tehran’s air force before it could take off. Russia and Ukraine have done the same throughout their ongoing war, targeting airfields to cripple enemy...

Late in World War 2, in the European theater, the Germans hit the Allied air forces with something new: Jet fighters. Chief among them was the Messerschmitt Me-262, a big, brutal twin-engine beast packing four 30-mm cannons. It was considerably faster than the American P-51 Mustang, generally considered the best piston-engine fighter in the air at the time. It was near-impossible to defeat in the air, but it was slow and cumbersome on taxi, vulnerable during takeoff and landing, and required a long runway. So we went after them when they were on the ground, destroying aircraft and bases alike....

Officials have urged residents to stay indoors, avoid floodwaters and follow evacuation orders HURRICANE Melissa has exploded into a monstrous category five storm and is now charging towards Jamaica. The horror storm is threatening to unleash catastrophic flooding, deadly landslides and towering storm surges across the Caribbean. The slow-moving hurricane roared across the warm waters of the Caribbean over the weekend, doubling in strength and becoming one of the strongest storms ever recorded in the region. With winds now raging at 160 mph, Melissa was sitting about 130 miles south of Kingston, Jamaica, late Sunday and crawling westward at just...

Archaeologists in Egypt have uncovered the remains of a massive 3,000-year-old fortress along an ancient route many believe was traveled during the biblical Exodus.The stronghold, recently unearthed in North Sinai, lies directly on the fabled Horus Military Road, the same route the Book of Exodus describes as the shorter path the Israelites avoided when Moses led them out of Egypt.Experts said the discovery provides tangible evidence that the road, long thought to be a key setting in the Exodus narrative, truly existed and was heavily fortified during the period traditionally associated with the Israelites' escape. The site's age, scale, and...

The Left's campaign against truth, goodness, and beauty continues with the latest depraved outrage against art: a sculpture called "Unmanned Drone." The twist? This ugly monstrosity was made from the dismembered pieces of the historic Stonewall Jackson statue that was famously taken down in Charlottesville, NC. Here is the original statue: Nick Morgan, Wikimedia Commons And the twisted new version: This bizarre, hateful attempt at art was created by "artist" Kara Walker, who makes terrible art to fight racism. Some of her other works include "Sugar Sphinx," a bizarre sphinx combined with an obscene "mammy" stereotype made out of sugar....

I don't exactly know where to start with this, so let's dive straight into the headline: This new musical in New York City imagines Holocaust victim Anne Frank as every intersecting woke category under the sun. But here's the catch: It's mocking "wokeness." The production, titled 'Slam Frank,' is a satirical play that exaggerates current cultural trends around inclusivity and identity politics, applying them to one of history's most tragic stories to critique how performative 'wokeness' can distort storytelling. So many recent TV shows, games, and films have flopped because they started preaching to the audience about climate change, capitalism,...

Democrats have lost their minds. This time last year, the conversation was about what is the acceptable number of apartment complexes in Colorado that we can tolerate being taken over by Venezuelan gangs of illegal migrants. Now the big issue is the president’s big, beautiful ballroom. The “No Kings” folk are melting down. In just two days last week, there were 10,000 comments on The Washington Post’s website railing against the ballroom, which is being built at a cost to the taxpayer of zero dollars. “I can’t wait for the day they hold Trump’s funeral in that gaudy ballroom,” was...

This ancient fossil holds the oldest intact brain ever discovered, and it looks strikingly like that of a spider, © Credit: Nicholas Strausfeld Share this post A fossil found in southern China has revealed something scientists rarely get to see: the incredibly well-preserved brain and nervous system of a 520-million-year-old creature. It belonged to a now-extinct marine animal with big front claws and a body that shares surprising similarities with today’s spiders and scorpions. The fossil, part of the Alalcomenaeus genus, offers a detailed snapshot of early arthropod evolution. Researchers discovered that its nervous system, especially the brain and nerve...

Moscow was unexpectedly attacked by unidentified drones on the evening of October 26. Russian authorities traditionally reassured the public that everything had been shot down. Meanwhile, explosions were heard across the city, according to Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Counteracting Disinformation and Russian media. Kovalenko briefly wrote that Moscow was under drone attack but did not provide further details. Russian media, however, published numerous photos and videos from the capital. Loud explosions were reported, and plumes of smoke were rising in parts of the city. Panic spread among Moscow residents through local chat groups. Russian channels claimed that...

JPMorgan Chase is seeking to get out of its legal obligation to pay a staggering $115 million in attorney fees racked up by two former business partners who were convicted of scamming the banking giant out of $175 million. The nation’s largest lender filed legal papers in Delaware on Friday demanding that a judge reverse an earlier ruling that required it to pay the lawyers for Charlie Javice and her convicted co-conspirator Olivier Amar. According to the filing, Javice’s team of lawyers across five law firms have billed JPMorgan approximately $60.1 million in legal fees and expenses, while Amar’s lawyers...

For over a century, everyone believed that The Devil's Checkmate (1831), the famous painting by Friedrich August Moritz Retzsch, depicted the ultimate defeat of the human soul at the hands of the devil -- a dark scene with no apparent way out. But in 1888, chess champion Paul Morphy saw the painting... and noticed something no one else had. According to the story, he studied the board, analyzed the position of the pieces, and revealed that the young man wasn't lost after all -- he still had one move left. This discovery not only changed how we look at the...

For nearly two centuries, the Henry family has worked the same soil in Bedminster, New Jersey — a 175-year-old farm passed from one generation to the next. But earlier this year, their heritage came under attack. Local officials, invoking the state’s “affordable housing” laws, sought to seize part of the Henrys’ land through legal maneuvering that would have handed it to developers. The battle lasted months. It was draining, personal, and emblematic of a deeper national struggle between individual liberty and government overreach. At its heart was a simple question: do Americans still have the right to protect their property...

Whatever else its faults — and it has many — one of the good things you can say about Amazon is that it employs a whole heck of a lot of American workers. At least, it does for now. CNBC reports: Amazon on Wednesday unveiled a new robotic system that's capable of performing multiple tasks at once in the company's warehouses. The system, called Blue Jay, is made up of a series of robotic arms that are suspended from a conveyor belt-like track. Those arms are tipped with suction-cup devices that allow them to grab and sort items of varying...
