By Cullen Linebarger An Ohio doctor specializing in examining the psychology of teenage killers has been murdered in a case that can be considered the ultimate irony and betrayal. As The Daily Mail reported , 55-year-old Tamela Dutcher was shot by two men while sitting on the couch inside her Delaware County home last week. She was later pronounced dead at the hospital. More from the Daily Mail : The horror began on August 14, when a man frantically called 911 to report that his wife had been shot in the face. He could be heard on the line asking: “What the hell did you do?” according to WCMH. Around 10 seconds later, he could be heard yelling: ‘Oh! What the hell?’ after allegedly reporting a second gunshot and seeing someone flee through the front door. Police responded to the family’s Bean-Oller Drive home and transported Tamela to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead after being shot in the back of the neck, according to the court affidavit. An initial inves...

By KURT ZINDULKA The Islamist Iranian regime reportedly hacked into a British power plant and shut it down for multiple days in a deeply concerning first of its kind attack that should theoretically be impossible. According to London’s Daily Telegraph broadsheet, a British power plant was shut down by hackers working on behalf of the regime in what appears to have been a coordinated series of strikes, including several hacking attacks on water infrastructure in the United States. While British officials refused to identify which plant was affected, it is believed to have been small enough not to have dramatically impacted the UK’s energy supply during the four days it remained offline. UK officials were quick to downplay the scale of the attack, with a government source telling the paper: “We have thresholds for important generators to legally notify us of cyber activity, and this site is nowhere near. It’s a very small scale site, less th...

By Nick Arama Justin Trudeau was a horrible prime minister for Canada. He was finally forced to face the fact that people had had enough of him, and he resigned in January 2025, after years of driving Canada further left and running it into the ground. He had 21.5 percent approval when he left; that's stinkier than Limburger.  X owner Elon Musk summed him up with the perfect clip that included words from his resignation speech. pic.twitter.com/Mx6LXzfeJk — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 8, 2025 Then, after Trudeau left office, he took up with singer Katy Perry in July 2025 and has seemed focused on acting like a celebrity . In the months to follow, there were sightings galore. The pair was spotted kissing on Perry’s yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara, Calif. And they jetted to Paris for her 41st birthday. They lounged on a boat in Mykonos and got scantily clad in Saint-Tropez. They go on ski trips and post cutesy selfies. They’re addicted to being seen. But Trudeau has been...

By Hannah Brennan Several Puerto Ricans interviewed by Fox News Digital in San Juan, Puerto Rico voiced opposition to becoming America’s 51st state, arguing that it would send the economy into turmoil and strip the island of its cultural identity. "I don't think it should be a state," Carly, who grew up in Puerto Rico and now lives in Connecticut, told Fox News Digital. "I don't want them to do PR how they did with Hawaii. I don't want taxes to spike. People’s wages here are really low to maintain life here." Statehood for Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory since the United States acquired it from Spain in 1898, has long been debated among both the U.S. government and Puerto Rico’s local government. The statehood debate carries significant economic implications for the island, including potential changes to how Puerto Rican residents and businesses are taxed. Puerto Rico operates under a different federal tax structure than the states — statehoo...

Tehran believes it is winning, The Washington Post columnist Marc A. Thiessen writes. Iranian leaders may have concluded that Trump will launch an attack after the midterms anyways. Thus, they may want to be the ones to trigger an escalation before the vote – to deliver a victory for Democrats who may stop funding the war. By Erez Linn Writing in a Washington Post opinion piece published August 20, Marc A. Thiessen argued that Iran retains the firepower and the motive to strike before the US midterms. President Donald Trump, for his part, waved the recent Iranian drone strike on the United Arab Emirates as routine, saying Iran "shoot[s] a drone every once in a while" and dismissing it as having little more than "nuisance value." The bigger question, Thiessen wrote, is whether something larger is coming. Trump has paired patience with economic force. A reimposed blockade has driven Iranian oil exports toward zero. American forces quietly shepherd roughly...

By Greg Wehner, Brittany Miller A Texas judge denied Karmelo Anthony a new trial Saturday, after his attorneys argued that courtroom restrictions, hearings held without Anthony present and the handling of an unwritten agreement between his former lawyers and prosecutors violated his rights. Retired District Judge Michael Chitty denied Anthony’s request after reviewing the motion, court record, evidence and arguments, briefs and relevant case law, according to his order. The order did not detail his reasoning for the decision. The decision leaves Anthony’s murder conviction and 35-year prison sentence in place. His challenge will continue on direct appeal. Accused killer Karmelo Anthony walks out of jail after posting bond. (KDFW) Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis said his office expected the decision and remains confident in the case. "We respect, and expected, the court’s decision denying the motion for a new trial. The jury’s guilty verdict stands,...

By Ward Clark Facts matter. The truth matters. When a person in a position of public trust, like a teacher, is threatened because they assert facts or truth, that's a sure sign of a system gone badly wrong. And yet, that's what has happened to an award-winning Colorado teacher, who is being threatened over her assertion of biological fact; on a t-shirt, no less . Stacy Adair, an award-winning teacher from Colorado, is facing scrutiny after a complaint that accused her of spreading anti-transgender messaging by wearing an "XX ≠ XY" chromosome t-shirt to a professional development training event earlier this month. "They get an anonymous complaint — nobody said anything that day," Adair, who was named teacher of the year at the 2025 Teacher Freedom Summit, said. "I would say people don't even know what it means, honestly." "I told one of my friends that yesterday about getting in trouble and she goes, ‘that's math.’ I said, ‘well, n...

By Kyle Becker A Biden-appointed federal judge has struck down the Trump administration’s suspension of immigrant visas for foreign nationals of 75 countries, handing immigration activists another victory against President Trump’s effort to slam the brakes on mass immigration. And once again, a law passed more than 60 years ago — the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, better known as the Hart-Celler Act — is a specter still haunting America’s broken immigration system. At the heart of the case is the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc. (CLINIC), a “religious” organization that has gotten into the legalized human trafficking racket. U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas of the Southern District of New York ruled that Secretary of State Marco Rubio exceeded his statutory authority when the State Department ordered consular officers to stop issuing immigrant visas to nationals of 75 countries while the administration reviewed public-charge risks. SCOTUS Wire reports: 🚨 A...

By Thomas Stevenson A mother from Mandan, North Dakota , has been charged with the murder and attempted murder of her three children, two of whom were killed and one of whom was stabbed but is expected to make a full recovery.

By Stephanie Nolasco In 2022, Sophia Maddox received a phone call that upended everything she thought she knew about her family — and sent her searching for answers about one of America's most notorious criminals. At the time, the 22-year-old aspiring filmmaker and actress was living in Los Angeles, juggling odd jobs to make rent, while her father, Daniel Arguelles, was searching for answers about his own past. Raised by his mother and stepfather, Arguelles had been trying to identify his biological father when he called Maddox with a startling discovery. "He told me he thinks he found out who his father is, and if it's true, it's really dark," Maddox told Fox News Digital. "He wasn't sure if I was ready to know. And my dad is not a dark person. He never taught me any dark things. So if he says it's dark, my first thought is it must be famously dark. So I asked him to just get it out of the way." Charles Manson is brought into th...
