Basketball Hall of Famer Charles Barkley used a segment about UConn Huskies star Alex Karaban to go on a political rant during CBS’ broadcast of March Madness on Sunday. CBS featured Karaban in a piece about his family. His mother, Olga, came to Massachusetts from Ukraine with her parents and grandparents in 1996. His father, Alexei, immigrated to the U.S. from Belarus on a work visa in 2001. After the segment aired, Barkley lamented the alleged treatment of legal immigrants. "I want to be careful with my words right now because this is a really touchy subject for me," he said.

From the article: “Barkley didn’t cite any example of legal immigrants being treated poorly in the U.S.” He did not cite an example because he does not know of any. Barkley just spouted democrat platitudes to express an opinion based on emotion rather than facts. I like Charles Barkley and think he’s a good basketball analyst. But he is clueless about immigration policy.

The NCAA's are filled with white eastern Europeans. The question is where are all the young American men? Trick question, you know the answer.

Maybe not such a good analyst. He predicted no way UCONN had.fire power to come back from double digit deficit at half. UCONN wins at the buzzer with a 3 pointer.

FTA: "We're making clear that no one is above the law in this city, that everyone has to follow the rule of law," Mamdani said. "I have made clear to the president, both in our private conversations and our public conversations, about the fact that I believe that ICE is a rogue agency." So says the communist. NYC is going to get it 'good and hard'.

All I ever see is preferential treatment of illegals. As law-breakers, they are treated with kid gloves. Americans are always getting the shaft vis-a-vis illegals.

Drop dead. Legal immigrants are welcome, definitely. Illegal aliens are NOT welcome. Barkley is off base on this, as he often is.

When a person has respect for a country, they will follow their laws. People who come into this country and don't want to follow their immigration laws show disrespect. After all, it comes across that they want to be first in line at all costs even if they are breaking the law. My comment to Charles Barkley - make sure there is the distinction between a person following the immigration law and a person who just wants to bypass it.

Fox News Digital obtained photos of Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos, who is facing increased scrutiny as the investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance drags on, attending a matchup between the University of Arizona and Oklahoma State.

Federal authorities have arrested two anti-ICE agitators after a mob stormed a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday. Bondi named Nekima Levy Armstrong and Chauntyll Louisa Allen as the suspects. FBI Director Kash Patel says the pair are charged with violating the FACE Act, which prohibits interfering with the exercise of religion at a place of worship. "Minutes ago at my direction, HSI and FBI agents executed an arrest in Minnesota. So far, we have arrested Nekima Levy Armstrong, who allegedly played a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota," Bondi wrote on X.

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley's son Nalin Haley on Monday accused Republicans of failing to acknowledge disillusioned Gen Z voters' struggles with unemployment and affordability. "The first step our leaders need to do is admit that we have a problem. And right now I haven't heard any Republican leaders talk about the issues that young people are facing," Haley told "Fox & Friends." "Congress has been nothing more than a glorified nursing home. They either don't know the problems that we're facing or they're ignoring them. And to be honest, I don't know which one's worse."

Fuzzy Zoeller, a two-time major champion and one of golf's most gregarious characters whose career was tainted by a racially insensitive joke about Tiger Woods, has died, according to a longtime colleague. He was 74. A cause of death was not immediately available. Brian Naugle, the tournament director of the Insperity Invitational in Houston, said Zoeller's daughter called him Thursday with the news. Zoeller was the last player to win the Masters on his first attempt, a three-man playoff in 1979. He famously waved a white towel at Winged Foot in 1984 when he thought Greg Norman had beat him, only to defeat Norman in an 18-hole playoff the next day.

The filing claims that the bullet that killed Kirk last September doesn’t match the rifle that Robinson used. “As these cases indicate, determining the number of contributors to a DNA mixture and determining whether the FBI and the ATF reliably applied validated and correct scientific procedures... is a complicated process which requires the assistance of various types of experts, including forensic biologists, geneticists, system engineers and statisticians, all of whom must review and evaluate' several different categories,” the filing states.

A federal judge on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump from moving ahead with any further work on a massive new $400 million ballroom on the former site of the White House’s East Wing. “The President of the United States is the steward of the White House for future generations of First Families. He is not, however, the owner!” Judge Richard Leon wrote. Leon, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, said he was delaying implementation of his ruling for two weeks for a possible appeal.

Are you sitting down? This is shocking news. It turns out that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s new ‘free’ childcare program isn’t free at all. In fact, it’s going to cost $60,000 – Per child. Of course, it’ll be free for the people who get the service, but not for the taxpayers who are funding it. This is the shell game that is always played by leftists. Nothing is free and they know it. Someone always pays. Oh and by the way, this is just the rollout of the program. You know it will cost more down the road.The cost of “free” child care is soaring.

Hollywood is in big trouble, and everybody can feel it now. The panic is real, and it’s setting in.

Yes, some of this panic is about streaming, economics, COVID fallout, and production fleeing to other states and countries, thanks to Gavin Newsom. But let’s not play dumb here. Hollywood also did this to itself. The movie industry made a very deliberate choice to stop entertaining people and start lecturing them. When Trump came down that escalator, Hollywood went bonkers.

Gasoline prices are spiking everywhere, particularly in California, with premium coming dangerously close $9 a gallon last week in one Los Angeles neighborhood. So what’s an appointed bureaucrat to do? Find a crime, of course. “Our team is vigilantly monitoring the retail, wholesale, and spot markets,” Tai Milder, first director of the Division of Petroleum Market Oversight (DPMO) for the California Energy Commission, announced last week, as gas prices were rising. “Any reports of unfair practices or market manipulation will be taken seriously, and we will not hesitate to refer any illegal conduct for further investigation and prosecution.”

Among the pub-table strategists and commentators in Europe talking about Iran you often hear the phrase, “This is not our war.” That’s a view as wrong as it is strategically unwise. Of course it is our war. It is far more our war than America’s. The infiltration of European societies by Islamist networks is further advanced and more acute here than in America. (And solidarity with Israel, whose very existence is under threat, ought to be far stronger in Germany than in the United States.) But even if one believed it was not our war, or even if one were disappointed

Not only does it resemble the World Trade Center’s Freedom Tower in scope and size, but it also prominently displays the American flag, has an antenna that lights up in red, white, and blue, and the entrance will be done in a classic gold style, similar to his New York City properties. In addition, the structure will include Trump’s name in capital letters at the very top, golden escalators, and a bright, modern-looking garden
