New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Monday defended a climate change proposal targeting mainly pizzerias using coal and wood-fired ovens by citing Canadian wildfire smoke, his own apparent love of "vegan pizza" – and calling out conservative activist who hurtled slices toward city hall in protest. Public uproar commenced amid reports the NYC Department of Environmental Protection would force restaurants with coal and wood-fired stoves installed in 2016 and afterward to have specialized and expensive emissions controls. In 2015, City Council passed Local Law 38, which requires restaurants with wood-burning and coal-burning stoves to install equipment to reduce emissions...

"I've had hiccups," the "Frasier" star admitted to USA Today. "I've had some tragic times." He continued, "I have wrestled with those and worked my way through them: sometimes rejecting faith, sometimes rejecting God even, in a period of being pretty angry about it, like, 'Where were you?' That kind of thing." "But I have come to terms with it and have found great peace in my faith and in Jesus. It's not cavalier – Jesus made a difference in my life. That's not anything I'll apologize for."

The Southern Baptist Convention's Executive Committee publicly released a list of alleged sexual abusers, urging churches to use the list "proactively" to protect the vulnerable, in the wake of an exhaustive report into sexual abuse and decades of cover-ups in the denomination. The list, which the committee submitted to Guidepost Solutions as it compiled its 288-page investigative report, runs to 205 pages of names, with some names and claims redacted.

....And yet the case brought by the Manhattan district attorney is stunningly narrow. To bring criminal charges over the tax treatment of fringe benefits underscores how more serious allegations were investigated and discarded. At the top of the list: Donald Trump was not personally charged (and remember, the prosecutors have his tax returns). The company was not charged with inflating its assets to get bank loans, or minimizing its assets to dodge taxes—the kind of fraud that can devastate a business. The company was not charged for funneling hush money through Michael Cohen to Stormy Daniels in an effort to...

Folks, FoxNews is doing the same **** they did 4 years ago. They haven't called Indiana for Pete's Sake. OK, Florida: 81% of the non-Panhandle is in and Trump is TIED. The other 19% is election day ballots, which will favor Trump. Trump will carry the Panhandle 2:1. We will win Florida. Also, urban vote is down ALL OVER the country. Do NOT believe these people.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump "So weird to watch @FoxNews interviewing only failed Dems, like Represenative Tim Ryan of Ohio, who got zero percent in his recent presidential run, and following Sleepy Joe’s train to wherever. What a difference from the past - But we will win anyway!!! https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1311402331934605312 1:27 PM · Sep 30, 2020·Twitter for iPhone

Less than two months ahead of the presidential election – with concerns of foreign interference again at the forefront – a conservative political group is raising "serious concerns" about millions of donations reported by a major Democratic fundraising platform. A preliminary computer analysis by the Take Back Action Fund, obtained exclusively by Fox News, has found that nearly half of all 2019 donations to ActBlue were made by people claiming to be unemployed. Action Fund President John Pudner questioned the veracity of those donations and called it a loophole that must be closed for the sake of election integrity. "After...

A conservative faith-based political advocacy group has called on presidential candidate Joe Biden to publicly condemn the “disturbing rise” of attacks on the Catholic faith and to break his “deafening silence.” CatholicVote cited a growing number of violent acts of vandalism and arson against Catholic churches and other symbols of the faith. “Catholic churches across America are literally burning, and Joe Biden has said nothing,” CatholicVote President Brian Burch said Thursday. “Leading members of the Democratic Party have fueled a climate of hate against Catholics, and these attacks have now led to acts of vandalism and violence.”...

An economics professor at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, says the school has repeatedly denied his request to teach an elective class critical of Marxism to the general student body. "Clearly, it's all just censorship," Wright State economics professor Evan Osborne told Fox News. "I have proposed several electives. All have been approved, not going against the sacred beliefs of the radical wing of our department." Only honors students will be allowed to take Osborne's class "Marxism: A History of Theory and Practice” despite his requests that it be opened to any student, The College Fix first reported.

In her own words, Donna Brazile has arrived at Fox News with “impeachment gear” and is ready to “dive into this report”. Just before Robert Mueller’s Special Counsel had to publicly admit they found no collusion between Donald Trump and Russia during the presidential 2016 election, the Deep State moved four square into Fox News television network. Prolific Deep State leaker Donna Brazile was brought into Fox News the same way she was brought into CNN before they got rid of her: as a ‘contributor’.

Sean Hannity beat out Megyn Kelly in the key 25-54 demographic in the month of May as part of his ratings surge. According to Nielsen Media Research, Hannity received 2,078,000 viewers (up 35 percent) with 460,000 viewers in the key 25-54 demographic, (a 21 percent increase) in the month of May. Hannity had the biggest year-to-year increases for all of FNC. Bill O’Reilly still continued his dominance, raking in three million total viewers (up 25 percent), with 492,000 viewers in the key 25-54 demographic.

Could it be that the people at Fox News were more concerned with their own elevator relationships than with their viewers' opinions when they immediately decided to enhance Juan Williams' contract mere hours after his firing by NPR? I say yes. What they failed to calculate was how dramatically different their viewers feel about Williams compared to how Williams' Fox cohorts feel. I submit that Fox viewers don't really care that Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly -- who know Williams personally -- think he's a fine, stand-up guy. Whoop-dee-doo. For all we know, he may be. It is likely that...

Heard part of Neil Cavuto interviewing one of the authors of the Arizona Illegal Alien law. Sounded like our own federal government has filed a human rights complaint with the UN against the state of Arizona...is this true?

Ron Blackwell is not only the Chief Economist for the AFL-CIO, but today he was a rather notable guest on Fox News’ Your World with Neil Cavuto. During a debate about the relative merits of the economic stimulus package, Blackwell and host Neil Cavuto predictably took opposing sides as to whether increased government spending has hurt the economy or has kept it from tanking more. Cavuto questioned Blackwell’s pedigree, wondering if he got his degree at a “baking school.” Blackwell called Cavuto a “joker” and an “a**hole.” Cavuto addressed this at 6pm during his FBN show in which he called...

RFFM.org Commentary Recently, the Rev. Jesse Jackson shocked the political world when he launched a "sharp" tirade against Democratic presumptive presidential nominee, Barack Obama. Jackson was caught on a live mike before an interview with FOX and Friends (FOX News Channel) regarding the subject of health care, essentially saying that he wanted to remove Obama's reproductive anatomy with a cutting utensil. Jackson drove home his point, for lack of a better phrase, by pantomiming a cutting motion when he talked about the surgical procedure he would like to perform on the junior Senator from Illinois. The story hit the airwaves...

BILL O'REILLY, FOX NEWS HOST: How do you assess President Bush's falling poll numbers? He's at the lowest level of his presidency now. Why do you think that's happening? CONDOLEEZZA RICE, SECRETARY OF STATE: Well, Bill, I'm not one who can assess poll numbers in American politics. I know that this is a president who has had to do a lot of very difficult things. He's had to deal with the largest terrorist attack on American soil, now the largest natural disaster in the United States. And he's had to make some very difficult decisions. I do know that he...

RITA Cosby, the pugnacious, former Fox New Channel reporter, joins the club tonight. Along with FNC's Greta Van Susteren and Headline News anchor Nancy Grace, Cosby will be initiated into a small, elite sorority of cable-news women who have - in just the last year or two - invented a new TV archtype. They are the hard-nosed hosts of prime-time news shows - a generation younger than Barbara Walters and Diane Sawyer, who have advanced to the top ranks through their charm as much as their intelligence. No one would ever call this new group of female news anchors "charming."

Okay - I'm a teacher on vacation and watching Fox news. It's 11:00 in the morning and an ad comes on for "KY massage and personal lubricant." The husband lights up when the wife says "personal lubricant" and she says it again at the end of the ad and winks. There is a clear sexual tone to the ad.Is it me or is this out of bounds?Anyone else see it?I'm calling FOX and I'll post what happens.
