An Illinois man has been arrested for acting out the Grinch’s shtick on Whiting City Hall’s Christmas decorations last Sunday afternoon. Whiting Police arrested the man Thursday after officers identified him from video footage, Whiting Mayor Steve Spebar said Friday. The man, who Spebar didn’t identify, also has a warrant out of Illinois, he said. Holiday decorations on the east side of Whiting’s City Hall were untouched when a lone vandal came through Sunday night. (Michelle L. Quinn/Post-Tribune) Video footage of the incident from a City Hall camera showed a younger man in a knit beanie, black coat and khaki…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The Australian state of New South Wales (NSW) is proposing a ban on chants of the phrase “globalize the intifada,” which many consider to be an antisemitic call for violence against Jews. This comes less than one week after a deadly mass shooting during a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach that killed at least 15 people.NSW Premier Chris Minns said that with the ban, police would be given more powers to demand that protesters remove face coverings during demonstrations, according to The Associated Press.FORMER HAMAS HOSTAGE WARNED AUSTRALIAN LEADERS ABOUT DANGERS OF ANTISEMITISM…

The thing about David is, as far as historians can tell, he didn’t even have an Instagram. He was but a poor shepherd boy who found himself in a daunting battle against the giant Goliath. It’s doubtful Nakisa Bidarian would’ve ever backed such an unremarkable bumpkin even after the upset, but somehow Jake Paul saw enough of David in himself to turn decadent Miami into the Elah Valley.Anthony Joshua didn’t exactly want to play the role of Goliath on Friday night, either. People forget, Goliath stood 9-foot-9 flat-footed, which is one of the reasons he was so heavily favored over…

I’ll admit it: I was Nixon pilled. I was in high school, circa 2000, and watching through the movies that John Williams had scored — at least the ones on DVD I could borrow from my local library. That journey (which eventually culminated in my writing his biography) took me off the well-beaten path of Star Wars and Spielberg, and into a trio of films that Williams scored for Oliver Stone: Born on the Fourth of July, JFK and Nixon. Striding into theaters 30 years ago on Dec. 20, 1995, Nixon pissed off the recently deceased President’s family (his daughters…

The injury bug has bitten and many teams have been eliminated from playoff contention but the games go on, and there are some critical matchups in Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season. One of the weekend’s top games is between the Bears and Packers in Chicago, and Green Bay will have to live without star edge rusher Micah Parsons for the rest of the season after he tore his ACL. That injury has caused a major shift on the odds for this NFC North tilt as the Bears went from 3-point home underdogs to 1.5-point favorites. Another game impacted by injury is Chiefs vs. Titans as two-time NFL MVP…

Ostensibly, plant lovers should be the easiest to shop for. Just get them a plant, right?Wrong. (Well, most of the time.) I review indoor hydroponic gardens for WIRED and have been a proud plant parent for almost 30 years, so I can say that even if you have a running mental catalog of all your recipient’s houseplants and know which ones they don’t yet have, you may not know what they have space for, or what kind of substrate or pot they’d like to be using.In general, the best gifts remind them of the plants they do have, or that…

There’s a stark generational divide in how to solve the Social Security crisis.

The Department of Justice began releasing its files on Friday on the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Many documents, which include interview transcripts and call logs, have been heavily redacted.
