FOX 24 US An organization closely tied to the Trump administration seems to be collaborating with Enes Kanter Freedom, an ex-NBA player who has joined the right-wing, anti-trans crusade against the WNBA and was ejected from a Chicago Sky game Sunday. Freedom — his chosen name; he affixed Freedom to his birth name in 2021 — has recently begun claiming that he identifies as a woman and will declare for the 2027 WNBA draft. He’ll find it difficult to fit the gimmick into his other ambitions, as he told conservative sports website OutKick that he intends to run for office…

FOX 24 US Sen. Darline Graham (R-SC) and Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) are set to face off in Tuesday’s runoff election for the South Carolina Senate seat. Though Graham led the pack in the primary election with more than 32% of the votes, her recent confession on the debate stage may create some problems for the newly minted senator in the upcoming runoff. “I’m just going to be honest here,” Graham said in response to a question about the importance of Taiwan to U.S. interests during a debate against Norman. “I’m not that informed on national security so — But…

FOX 24 US Victor Marx was deep in the jungle and crippled by a fever when he was attacked.  The self-described “high-risk missionary” and Republican gubernatorial nominee in Colorado claims he traveled to Myanmar to train “warriors” involved in secretive unspecified relief operations. Before accepting his teachings, Marx said the group wanted to assess his skills. Without warning, they swarmed him.  But those soldiers apparently didn’t know who they were messing with. Marx’s 2024 book, “The Dangerous Gentleman: A Call for Men to be Courageous in a Culture of Fear,” opens with this tale of being tested in war-torn Myanmar.…

If you appreciate this reporting, consider a paid subscription or one-time donation. The U.S. State Department is seeking to build out a consortium for “independent journalism” that will produce critical reporting on public policies in European countries, with a particular focus on immigration, “civilizational values” and “the state of sovereignty.” President Donald Trump has not tried to hide his disdain for most European governments. “Your countries are going to hell,” he declared in a September 2025 speech at the United Nations, stating that Europe’s “open borders” —…

FOX 24 US This week saw some of the country’s largest retailers report their quarterly earnings and the impact of some several billion dollars in tariff refunds on their bottom lines. After the Supreme Court struck down tariffs President Donald Trump levied under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, Trump’s administration was ordered to repay, with interest, tariff revenue collected under that statute. After all was calculated, 330,000 importers were owed $166 billion via a process that’s being facilitated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Some $100 billion of that had been repaid as of July 31, while…

FOX 24 US Tucked in at the bottom of a bombshell document released last week detailing DHS’ undercover operations in Minneapolis is a curious note. “This case has also been accepted under CUC Op Keyhole,” it reads. In Homeland Security Investigations lingo, CUC refers to “Certified Undercover” (CUC) operations in which DHS — typically in consultation with the Justice Department — grants agents and informants authorization to engage in otherwise illegal activities as part of the investigation. A CUC also exempts the agencies from laws that would typically prohibit them from actions like creating shell companies, setting up fake bank…

FOX 24 US President Donald Trump lost the popular vote in the 2020 election by 4.4%. That hasn’t stopped him, though, from latching on to a highly unusual Census Bureau report published Tuesday afternoon that allegedly found less than two-hundredths of a percent of voters in that presidential election were noncitizens. According to the report, 24,000 out of 128 million voters in the 2020 presidential election were ineligible “non-citizen” voters. Unnamed authors of the seven-page report, partially titled “A Beginning Analysis,” said the bureau still has to analyze 32 million voter records. According to Pew, some 158.4 million ballots were…

FOX 24 US Former Rep. Mary Peltola (D-AK) and incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) are set to face off in the general elections following Tuesday’s nonpartisan primary. The other two candidates in Alaska’s crowded 16-person Senate field have not yet been called.  As of 8 a.m. ET on Wednesday, Peltola had 48% of the vote and Sullivan had 42.8% with 80% of votes in.  The race, which could help determine party control of the Senate for the next two years, has already been filled with drama. Former congresswoman Peltola — the biggest threat to Sullivan, fired multiple senior campaign staff…

Cory Mills’ reelection bid in Tuesday’s primary, Decision Desk HQ projects, shutting out of Congress a lawmaker who is facing allegations that he assaulted a woman and threatened to publicize nude videos of a former girlfriend, among other possible misconduct. Ryan Elijah, a former local Fox television news anchor, is the GOP nominee in the district, which President Donald Trump won by 12 percentage points in…

FOX 24 US It’s 1920, Republicans feel their government trifecta melting away. They’ve decided forcing a constitutional crisis is the only way to maintain that stronghold.  Rural states have identified foreign immigration into urban, Democratic population centers as a top concern. The decennial Census, taken every 10 years since 1790, has tracked the expanding U.S. population, which, at the time, had swollen evermore because of the influx of people from other countries coming to this one with eyes toward gainful employment and the propagandized American Dream. “Those States which would have their representation reduced — not all of them, but most…
