Appearing on Fox & Friends on Friday, Saban said something needs to be done about the wild costs falling on college sports departments. The president signed an Executive Order to set restrictions on payments to athletes from third-party sources, stating, “any revenue-sharing permitted between universities and collegiate athletes should be implemented in a manner that protects women’s and non-revenue sports.” “I think President Trump’s executive order takes a huge step in providing the educational model, which is…

Credit: Grok AI A major study by Stanford University and Italian researchers has found that the COVID-19 vaccine saved far fewer lives than originally thought. The World Health Organization previously asserted that the jabs prevented as many as 14.4 million deaths in their first year, with some estimates going as high as 20 million. Yet according to this latest study, the actual number of lives saved globally throughout the entire pandemic is likely closer to 2.5 million. The data suggests that the vast majority of those spared were elderly, with roughly 90% of prevented deaths occurring among individuals over 60.…

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Friday floated the idea of potential rebates for Americans with certain incomes, thanks to the tens of billions of dollars coming into the United States through his tariff policies.

In a hilarious exchange on X, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) got absolutely demolished by White House Communications Director Steven Cheung after he tried to attack President Trump and defend Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.  President Trump visited the Federal Reserve headquarters in Washington, DC, on Thursday to examine the new construction on Powell’s insanely expensive renovation. Powell is under fire for the cost of renovating the Fed’s headquarters. The cost ballooned from $1.9 billion to $2.5 billion, even higher when you take into account the third building that they’ve already renovated as part of the project. According to official Federal Reserve…

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee mocked French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday, saying that the new Palestinian state will be located in the French Riviera and called “Franc-en-Stine.” Huckabee’s jab revisited criticisms he made in May to Fox News Digital, as French intentions became clear. It also came after Macron announced Thursday that France would recognize the “State of Palestine” at the United Nations in September, despite it having no clear borders, despite the fact that it would have an authoritarian government, and despite the fact that half of it is run by terrorists holding civilian hostages. French foreign…

Meanwhile, those saying the economy is “not so good” or “poor” dropped from 63 percent to 51 percent.…

The H-1B Visa program needs serious reform, Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI) said during an interview on Breitbart News Daily. Tiffany said he is offering a bill that would essentially get rid of the exemptions for the cap of 65,000 H-1B visas. “There’s a cap in the United States of 65,000 visas, but there are exemptions, and one of the exemptions is for schools of higher learning. So in other words, the universities around the country,” he said, explaining that they use that exemption to “bring in hundreds, if not thousands, of people on these H-1B visas.” “My bill says you’ve…
