Utah man was shot and killed by FBI agents during a Wednesday morning raid linked to assassination threats against President Biden and other top Democrats, including Vice President Kamala Harris and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. The deadly shooting occurred in Provo around 6:15 a.m., when the feds tried to serve arrest and search warrants at a home, the FBI office in Salt Lake City told The Post in a statement.

Disney leadership thought the company out-maneuvered Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis this year after a last-minute agreement with local officials gave the theme park virtually unlimited developmental power. But sources tell The Federalist that Disney’s corporate lawyers missed the fine print in Florida statute governing tourist districts. In February, supervisors running the Reedy Creek Improvement District signed an 11th-hour resolution to hand Disney maximum authority over the company’s 27,000 acres in central Florida. The late agreement effectively left the DeSantis-appointed successors on the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board — which replaced the Reedy Creek board — powerless to govern...

Former President Donald Trump will return to Washington, D.C., on Tuesday for the first time since leaving office.Trump is set to deliver a keynote speech at the America First Agenda Summit, and advisers told Bloomberg he is not expected to announce plans to run for president in 2024.However, Bloomberg said the "notoriously mercurial ex-leader could change his mind on the way into town from the airport" about discussing '24."He loves that the news is about whether he's ready to announce, when he's going to announce," Barry Bennett, a Republican strategist who worked on Trump's 2016 campaign, told Bloomberg."He loves all...

Brian Laundrie’s father was spotted mowing his lawn in Florida Wednesday morning — less than 24 hours after Gabby Petito’s autopsy revealed she was strangled. In video shot by Fox News, Chris Laundrie ignored questions from reporters as he mowed and trimmed the grass around a makeshift memorial set up for Petito outside his North Port home. Chris refused to react when asked about Petito’s autopsy results, which showed she was manually strangled during her ill-fated cross-country road trip with his 23-year-old son. He also wouldn’t comment on his fugitive son, who has been the subject of a weeks-long manhunt...

The autopsy report for Ahmaud Arbery, the 25-year-old who was fatally shot in a Georgia neighborhood, showed that he was shot three times, twice in the chest and once in the hand. The report also concluded Arbery did not have drugs or alcohol in his system, according to a copy of the report obtained by CBS News. Gregory McMichael, 64, and his son Travis, 34, were charged with Arbery's murder 74 days after they chased, shot and killed him on February 23. The McMichaels told police they thought Arbery was a burglary suspect. Arbery's family said he was out for...

In just two races, The Factor has blazed his way to a place among the most exciting three-year-olds in the nation. The Rebel Stakes (G2) on Saturday at Oaklawn Park will be a crucial step in determining how far his talent will take him in horse racing. The War Front colt’s trainer, Bob Baffert, will look to Oaklawn for the second straight year as a proving ground for the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1). Last February, Baffert sent a horse to Hot Springs, Arkansas, for the first time since 2001, and he may have wondered what took him...

How many countries did Islamic Republic of Iran attack in the last 30 Years? (Today on Fox, CAIR'S lies) Today, Mr. Rehab of CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relation) asked spinned Bill O'reilly "How many countries did Iran attack in the last 30 Years..."? Hijacking of Americans (direct attack on the US) in 1979. Action by its government directly and/or via its armed -Hezbollah- wing: US Marine Barracks in Oct. 1983, killing 241 Americans and 58 French soldiers. 1984-8 string of hijacking US personell. Bombing of US embassy in Lebanon in April 18, 1983, killing 63. Bombings in Paris, France...

Bill O’Reilly had on his regular media analyst Bernie Goldberg last night to run down the media’s reaction (on both left and right) to the passing of the Health Care bill on Sunday, and echoed some of the same thoughts voiced by David Frum, the former speechwriter for George W. Bush, who made quite a stir yesterday in calling health care reform the GOP’s “Waterloo,” but a big win for the “conservative entertainment” business. Is this the beginning a more measured tone on right-of-center opinion media? Not likely. First some background: amidst the gnashing of teeth and roaring of terrible...

"Just a heads-up: I'll be guest-hosting The O'Reilly Factor on Fox News Channel tonight at 8pm Eastern. Hot topics: The Tenet fallout, the DC madam, and more. Tune in!"

On the O'Reilly Factor, Maj. Bob Bevelacqua compared the Israel to the Nazis for their so-called lack of comprimise. He said that Israel going out of Lebanon and Gaza was like "The Nazis going out of Moscow" and proceeded to say that Israel needed to be more willing to comprimise.

...Gauging the animus against O'Reilly has always been a rough art, but by his own estimation "it's gotten worse. Now it's so bad that I spend an enormous amount of money protecting myself against evil."...the embattled life of O'Reilly has become an increasingly strange and scary one. As O'Reilly puts it, here are the facts: There are death threats. He has to hire bodyguards. He can't check into hotels with his family. People on the street with cell phones are stealth paparazzi, capable of snagging a picture one minute, then posting it on the Web the next. He adds that...

History has shown that the neutral position is the most dangerous position to take. Unfortunately for Bill O'Reilly, the host of Fox News' O'Reilly Factor and the target of sexual harassment lawsuit, his attempts at reasonableness are neither liberal enough for the hard left nor conservative enough for the solid right. Conservatives bite the hand that feeds them when they fail to recognize that O'Reilly, in his position as an independent moderate, provides the perfect doorway through which a maturing, political aficionado can pass as he discovers the dangerous liberal slant of the mainstream media. (Certainly, a budding neo-con does...

Subject says it all...O'Reilly just came back and said on live television: "I am so sick of talking about the war in Iraq, I know it's important and all but we need to talk about something else more important." Great Bill...bet the soldiers love hearing that. Bill playing both sides tonight..first Sinclair guy he gave some hell to for airing Stolen Honor...now he is blowing Lanny Davis on live TV.

Laura Bush is going to be a guest on O'Reilly tonight at 8:00 EDT

I will report, and let readers decide. For quite some time now, I have been a major fan of the Fox News Channel, CNN´s 24-7 cable competitor. CNN serves up news with a mix of male-bashing feminism, proactively atheistic secular humanism, and a bitter, America-last attitude. Their graphics look like something out of a garage home-editing chop shop. Their anchors robotically proclaim an ultraliberal party-line agenda which apparently flowed directly onto their copy sheets from Gloria Steinem´s misandric pen. The Fox News Channel, in marked contrast, offers viewers Fair And Balanced coverage of breaking news events from around the ...

This was transcribed by me from my own personal video and audio tapes of this interview. One segment of "The Factor" on The Bill O'Reilly Show - Fox News Channel - Tuesday evening - 12-23-03 - Aproximately halfway between 8 and 9 PM EDT Host: Former Ohio Congressman, John Kasich - sitting in for O'Reilly Guest: Former US Attorney, Kendall Coffey, Miami, Florida John Kasich (doing the introduction to the topic - I missed the first couple of words): "...to look at his medical records to decide if he should be charged with 'doctor shopping' for prescription pain killers. Limbaugh's...

Watch Fox News Channel. O' Reilly is featuring Terri Schiavo's story. Repeat after Greta's show tonight.

Greetings Mr. O'Reilly, If you're not just playing dumb, and really don't know where the WMD are, may I suggest that you get Kenneth R. Timmerman (of Insight Mag.) as a guest on your show --- SOON! This is the second night in a row I watched you parroting the Democrat mantra, demanding that Bush tell us where the WMD are. You appear to be out of the loop. That's not good that someone in your position is so much in the dark about what's going on. I've provided you some succinct excerpts and links to what Mr. Timmerman wrote...
