										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Trump administration has selected a veteran <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/immigration/border-security" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Border Patrol</a> official with more than 26 years of service to lead the agency following the resignation of former Chief Mike Banks.</p>
<p>U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced Monday that Rosario &#8220;Pete&#8221; Vasquez will serve as the next chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, overseeing nearly 20,000 agents and professional staff operating across the country.</p>
<p>Vasquez most recently led the Border Patrol&#8217;s Blaine Sector in <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/us-regions/west/washington" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington state</a>, overseeing operations along the U.S.-Canada border and coordinating with federal, state, local, tribal and international partners.</p>
<p>CBP Commissioner Rodney S. Scott praised the appointment, calling Vasquez &#8220;a Border Patrol agent&#8217;s agent.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/us-border-patrol-chief-mike-banks-abruptly-resigns-fox-news-learns" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>US BORDER PATROL CHIEF MIKE BANKS ABRUPTLY RESIGNS, FOX NEWS LEARNS</strong></a></p>
<p>&#8220;He has spent more than two decades leading from the front, earning the respect of the workforce, and delivering results in some of the most challenging operational environments in the country,&#8221; Scott said in a statement. &#8220;He understands what this mission demands because he has lived it. There is no one better suited to lead the United States Border Patrol into its next chapter.&#8221;</p>
<p>Vasquez succeeds former Border Patrol Chief Mike Banks, who announced his retirement in May after leading the agency during President <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump&#8217;s</a> second administration.</p>
<p>Banks told Fox News last month that he was stepping down after helping oversee what he described as a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/vance-heads-southern-border-trump-touts-sharp-drop-crossings-they-heard-my-words" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dramatic turnaround in border security</a>.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/border-patrol-chief-owens-announces-retirement-texas-border-czar-take-over" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>BORDER PATROL CHIEF OWENS ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT, TEXAS BORDER CZAR TO TAKE OVER</strong></a></p>
<p>&#8220;I feel like I got the ship back on course from the least secure, disastrous, chaotic border to the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/border-patrol-morale-going-through-roof-under-trump-administration-top-official-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most secure border this country</a> has ever seen,&#8221; Banks told Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin at the time. &#8220;Time to pass the reins, 37 years, it&#8217;s time to enjoy the family and life.&#8221;</p>
<p>As chief, Vasquez will be responsible for leading <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/politics/executive/homeland-security" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Border Patrol operations</a> across nearly 7,000 miles of international land borders and approximately 2,000 miles of coastal waters.</p>
<p>According to CBP, Vasquez has served in a variety of operational and leadership roles throughout his career, including assignments along the southwest and northern borders, at CBP headquarters and in international postings.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/border-patrol-announces-phenomenal-turnaround-number-monthly-migrant-releases-drops-zero" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>BORDER PATROL ANNOUNCES &#8216;PHENOMENAL&#8217; TURNAROUND AS NUMBER OF MONTHLY MIGRANT RELEASES DROPS TO ZERO</strong></a></p>
<p>His résumé includes service with the Border Patrol&#8217;s Search, Trauma, and Rescue Unit, the agency&#8217;s Special Operations Group and CBP&#8217;s Office of Anti-<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/world/terrorism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Terrorism</a>. He also served as director of the Alliance to Combat Transnational Threats, assistant attaché for CBP in Canada and acting executive director within CBP&#8217;s Office of Trade.</p>
<p>The appointment comes as Border Patrol officials continue focusing on efforts to combat transnational criminal organizations, disrupt human smuggling and narcotics trafficking networks and strengthen border security operations.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is the honor of a lifetime to serve as chief of the United States Border Patrol, and I&#8217;m grateful for the trust placed in me by President Trump, Secretary Mullin, and Commissioner Scott,&#8221; Vasquez said. &#8220;Our agents have never backed down from a challenge, and neither will I. As chief, my focus is clear: support our agents, strengthen our operational capabilities, and ensure the U.S. Border Patrol remains the most effective border security force in the world.&#8221;</p>
<p>Established in 1924, the U.S. Border Patrol is one of the nation&#8217;s largest <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/crime/police-and-law-enforcement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">federal law enforcement</a> organizations and serves as the primary agency responsible for securing America&#8217;s land borders.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and newly-appointed &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; executive producer Nick Bilton made multiple overtures to the show&#8217;s veteran correspondent Scott Pelley before the tense showdown he had with the incoming boss, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News Digital</a> has learned.</p>
<p>Weiss sent shockwaves across the media landscape on Thursday with the ousting of &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega as well as executive producer Tanya Simon among others, marking an editorial shift in the long-running newsmagazine program with Weiss handpicking an outsider to lead its path forward.</p>
<p>Prior to Monday&#8217;s staff meeting, where Pelley had a contentious exchange with Bilton about the dismissals, both Weiss and Bilton had reached out to Pelley expressing their desire to have him remain a &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; correspondent and that he hadn&#8217;t engaged with them before the war of words unfolded, according to a source familiar with CBS News leadership.</p>
<p>However, it is unclear whether Weiss and Bilton still hold that sentiment towards Pelley, particularly after he lashed out at his bosses in front of the staff.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/scott-pelley-has-heated-confrontation-new-60-minutes-boss-accuses-bari-weiss-murdering-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>SCOTT PELLEY HAS HEATED CONFRONTATION WITH NEW ‘60 MINUTES’ BOSS, ACCUSES BARI WEISS OF ‘MURDERING&#8217; SHOW</strong></a></p>
<p>Fox News Digital reached out to Pelley and CBS News for comment.</p>
<p>Pelley has had a history of being vocally critical of CBS leadership. In April 2025, he took aim at the network&#8217;s parent company, Paramount, following the resignation of &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; executive producer Bill Owens, who claimed he had no longer had editorial independence as the company was engaged in mediation talks with President Donald Trump&#8217;s legal team to settle a lawsuit he filed in 2024.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/cbs-news-fires-60-minutes-correspondents-top-producer-sweeping-shakeup-storied-program" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>CBS NEWS FIRES ‘60 MINUTES’ CORRESPONDENTS, TOP PRODUCER IN SWEEPING SHAKEUP OF STORIED PROGRAM</strong></a></p>
<p>&#8220;Our parent company, Paramount, is trying to complete a merger,&#8221; Pelley told viewers at the time. &#8220;The Trump administration must approve it. Paramount began to supervise our content in new ways. None of our stories have been blocked, but Bill felt he lost the independence that honest journalism required.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No one here is happy about it, but in resigning, Bill proved one thing. He was the right person to lead ’60 Minutes’ all along,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>The merger was in reference to Paramount&#8217;s $8 billion takeover by Skydance Media, run by David Ellison, Paramount&#8217;s new CEO, who appointed Weiss as CBS News&#8217; editor-in-chief last fall.</p>
<p>Weeks later, he slammed Trump for filing lawsuits against journalists and their companies &#8220;for nothing&#8221; during a commencement address at Wake Forest University. Trump accused CBS News of election interference over how the network handled its &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris. Paramount made an eight-figure settlement to Trump days before his FCC approved of the Paramount-Skydance merger.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our previous owners at CBS faced political pressure and crumbled‚&#8221; Pelley <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/veteran-60-minutes-reporter-says-network-crumbled-under-trumps-pressure" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly said in March</a>.</p>
<p>Back in January, the &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; veteran <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/60-minutes-host-scott-pelley-reportedly-said-cbs-chief-bari-weiss-needed-take-job-more-seriously" target="_blank" rel="noopener">swiped Weiss</a>, reportedly telling colleagues, &#8220;She needs to take her job a little bit more seriously.&#8221; That comment came after Weiss clashed with Alfonsi, who accused her of having political motives when she pulled a segment about the infamous El Salvador prison CECOT moments before it was set to air in December. It ultimately aired a month later.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/cbs-bari-weiss-facing-mounting-backlash-from-liberal-critics-over-yanking-60-minutes-segment" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>CBS, BARI WEISS FACING MOUNTING BACKLASH FROM LIBERAL CRITICS OVER YANKING &#8217;60 MINUTES&#8217; SEGMENT</u></strong></a></p>
<p>Bilton met with staff on Monday in a pre-planned meeting to discuss the show’s future, but Pelley used the gathering to unload on Weiss, who was not present at the meeting, after Bilton said Weiss loved &#8220;60 Minutes,&#8221; one of the news business&#8217; most revered programs. </p>
<p>&#8220;She’s murdering 60 Minutes. She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it and is doing exactly that,&#8221; Pelley said. The quote was first reported by <a href="https://x.com/jeremymbarr/status/2061475513156112513" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><u>The Guardian</u></a> and confirmed by Fox News Digital.</p>
<p>Pelley also told the group that Weiss has &#8220;no qualifications for her job&#8221; and bluntly informed Bilton, who has no linear television experience, that he has &#8220;slender qualifications&#8221; for his new role. Before joining &#8220;60 Minutes,&#8221; Bilton was a documentary filmmaker and a technology journalist for The New York Times and Vanity Fair.</p>
<p>&#8220;So why should we expect any of this is going to be any better?&#8221; Pelley asked.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/sharyn-alfonsi-out-60-minutes-after-feud-bari-weiss-rips-cbs-chilling-message-newsroom" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>SHARYN ALFONSI OUT AT ’60 MINUTES&#8217; AFTER FEUD WITH BARI WEISS, RIPS CBS FOR ‘CHILLING MESSAGE’ TO NEWSROOM</u></strong></a></p>
<p>Bickering ensued, according to audio of the meeting obtained by the Status media newsletter, and Pelley began peppering Bilton with questions about why particular &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; staffers were terminated and CBS News managing editor Charles Forelle eventually suggested Pelley was being rude.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not being rude… you know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness,&#8221; Pelley shot back, referring to the firings. </p>
<p>&#8220;This is a conversation,&#8221; Pelley added. &#8220;That is rude, and you were part of that.&#8221;</p>
<p>As the infighting continued, Bilton suggested that Pelley speak directly with Weiss. </p>
<p>&#8220;What I would like to do right now is talk about what happens next,&#8221; Bilton said, but &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; staffers continued to argue.</p>
<p>&#8220;You have no idea what my plans are, so I will present those plans to you. I will present them when the time is right,&#8221; Bilton said. </p>
<p>Pelley didn’t let up, asking his new boss if he knew how the firings were going to play out. </p>
<p>&#8220;I am not intimidated by — I have been a journalist for 25 years, Scott. I have sat and talked with incredibly powerful people like you have,&#8221; Bilton shot back. &#8220;None of it intimidates me, OK? So you are not going to intimidate me in front of this group of people.&#8221;</p>
<p>Remaining &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; correspondents include Pelley, Lesley Stahl, Bill Whitaker and Jon Wertheim. Anderson Cooper previously announced his departure from &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; as a correspondent in February after nearly two decades. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The fallout from the heated sideline exchange between Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/caitlin-clark">Caitlin Clark</a> isn&#8217;t going away.</p>
<p>After days of criticism and nonstop social media debate, White addressed the incident Monday, opting to stand firm in her coaching style.</p>
<p>But then she also drew scrutiny for suggesting the reaction would be viewed differently in men&#8217;s sports.</p>
<p>&#8220;What happened in that moment is, I was challenging a player. It&#8217;s coaching, is what it is,&#8221; White said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t often think it becomes an issue if you&#8217;re watching it in men&#8217;s sports, most of the time.&#8221;</p>
<p>The exchange occurred during Indiana&#8217;s ugly <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.foxnews.com/outkick-sports/caitlin-clark-fans-erupt-head-coach-stephanie-white-fever-blowout-loss-portland-fire">100-84 loss to the Portland Fire</a>.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.foxnews.com/outkick-sports/fever-coach-accused-snubbing-caitlin-clark-odd-response-heroic-fourth-quarter"><strong>FEVER COACH ACCUSED OF SNUBBING CAITLIN CLARK WITH ODD RESPONSE AFTER HEROIC FOURTH QUARTER</strong></a></p>
<p>Caitlin Clark struggled through one of the roughest performances of her young WNBA career.</p>
<p>White portrayed it as the natural result of two highly competitive personalities pushing each other.</p>
<p>&#8220;She wants to be coached. I want her to help me be a better coach,&#8221; White added. &#8220;We&#8217;re both competitive. We&#8217;re both stubborn. We&#8217;re more alike than different. Hopefully, we continue to bring the best out of each other.&#8221;</p>
<p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://link.podtrac.com/dmwdd_article"><strong>ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON&#8217;T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!</strong></a></p>
<p>White also pushed back against the reaction surrounding the incident, arguing that Clark&#8217;s enormous profile guarantees scrutiny.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think the narrative of people trying to make something that it&#8217;s not is just taking sensationalism to try to get some clicks, and all the other stuff,&#8221; White said.</p>
<p>She later added:</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not a new thing. It&#8217;s just new because <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.foxnews.com/outkick-sports/wnba-wont-grow-season-mean-girls-race-bullies-wont-accept-caitlin-clark">everything that she does gets clicks</a>. That&#8217;s how everybody makes money, right?&#8221;</p>
<p>Clark also commented on the exchange and echoed that sentiment when she met with reporters, dismissing the idea that the confrontation reflected deeper issues between herself and her coach.</p>
<p>&#8220;First of all, [it was] two people being competitive. Two people that really want to win,&#8221; Clark said. &#8220;I think a lot of those things happen all the time.&#8221;</p>
<p>Asked what sparked the frustration, Clark delivered a blunt answer: &#8220;[We were] down 20 points, so. Probably that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Despite the public attention surrounding the moment, Clark also took responsibility for Indiana&#8217;s recent struggles.</p>
<p>&#8220;I know there&#8217;s an immense amount of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/fevers-lexie-hull-speaks-attacks-players-teams-popularity-grows-caitlin-clark-era">pressure and sometimes that pressure</a> can get to you, and frustrate you in different ways,&#8221; Clark said.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/caitlin-clarks-shooting-woes-continue-fever-rely-aliyah-bostons-career-night-win-over-storm"><strong>CAITLIN CLARK&#8217;S SHOOTING WOES CONTINUE AS FEVER RELY ON ALIYAH BOSTON&#8217;S CAREER NIGHT FOR WIN OVER STORM</strong></a></p>
<p>&#8220;And that&#8217;s on me. I have to be a lot better, as well.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Fever star continued:</p>
<p>&#8220;I wanna win. This team wants to win. And I&#8217;m the point guard, so it&#8217;s on me to help this team and this franchise win.&#8221;</p>
<p>Clark also gave perhaps her strongest defense of White when asked about their relationship.</p>
<p>&#8220;I ride for Steph. I ride for these girls. Nobody thought twice about it,&#8221; Clark said.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s just another example of what everybody, all of you, want to blow up and make something that it&#8217;s just not in reality.&#8221;</p>
<p>Clark then pointed to a personal moment from last season that she says fans never see.</p>
<p>&#8220;When I <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/fever-coach-addresses-physicality-directed-caitlin-clark-after-latest-injury-it-just-what-is">got hurt at the Connecticut</a> game last year, I bawled in Steph&#8217;s arms. That&#8217;s somebody that I will ride for for the rest of my life.&#8221;</p>
<p>Still, the incident has fueled a broader conversation about the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.foxnews.com/outkick-sports/caitlin-clark-says-honestly-could-probably-got-couple-calls-first-game-back-injury">Fever&#8217;s early-season frustrations</a>.</p>

<p>&#8220;Right now, it&#8217;s frustration. And unfortunately, it&#8217;s boiling over and it&#8217;s being seen,&#8221; Miller said during an NBC Sports discussion of the incident.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/immigration/mexico" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mexican authorities</a> have uncovered a sophisticated underground tunnel near the U.S.-Mexico border that was equipped with lighting, ventilation and an electronic transport system, which they say may connect Tijuana to a street in San Diego.</p>
<p>Mexico&#8217;s Attorney General&#8217;s Office, known as the FGR, announced the discovery Saturday following a search warrant executed at a property in the Nueva Tijuana neighborhood of Tijuana, Baja <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/us-regions/west/california" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California</a>.</p>
<p>Authorities said the tunnel stretched approximately 265 meters, or about 870 feet, and reached a depth of roughly 6.3 meters, or 21 feet underground.</p>
<p>According to investigators, the tunnel contained operational infrastructure, including lighting and ventilation systems, as well as an electronic sliding mechanism designed to move items in both directions between Mexico and the U.S.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rashida-tlaib-against-bill-cracking-down-mexican-cartels-border-tunnel-system" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>RASHIDA TLAIB BECOMES LONE HOUSE LAWMAKER OPPOSING CRACKING DOWN ON MEXICAN CARTELS&#8217; BORDER TUNNEL SYSTEM</strong></a></p>
<p>The tunnel was discovered through intelligence work conducted by agents with the FGR&#8217;s <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/crime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Criminal Investigation</a> Agency in coordination with Mexico&#8217;s Security Cabinet.</p>
<p>Officials said the search warrant was executed as part of an investigation into alleged violations of Mexico&#8217;s firearms and explosives laws as well as drug-related offenses.</p>
<p>Authorities said they believe the property may have functioned as a storage, logistics and trafficking center for firearms, explosives and illicit drugs.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/feds-likely-eyeing-cover-ups-bust-mexican-cartels-along-border-former-dea-agent" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>FEDS LIKELY EYEING &#8216;COVER-UPS&#8217; TO BUST MEXICAN CARTELS ALONG BORDER: FORMER DEA AGENT</strong></a></p>
<p>Photos released by the FGR appear to show agents navigating the underground passageway, access points leading into the tunnel and evidence recovered during the operation.</p>
<p>Investigators said they recovered ammunition, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/san-diego-authorities-arrest-3-noncitizens-allegedly-involved-transporting-more-than-5m-worth-meth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspected methamphetamine, suspected marijuana</a>, cell phones and various documents from the property.</p>
<p>Images released by Mexican authorities also appear to show ventilation infrastructure inside the tunnel, underscoring what officials described as a sophisticated operation.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/border-agents-uncover-rpg-launcher-cache-rifles-hidden-vehicle-heading-mexico" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>BORDER AGENTS UNCOVER RPG LAUNCHER, CACHE OF RIFLES HIDDEN IN VEHICLE HEADING TO MEXICO</strong></a></p>
<p>The FGR said its investigation indicates the tunnel likely connects to a street in San Diego, though authorities have not publicly identified the location or confirmed whether the U.S. side of the tunnel has been located.</p>
<p>The tunnel discovery comes as U.S. authorities announced charges against four individuals accused of trafficking more than a ton of cocaine through a sophisticated cross-border tunnel stretching between Tijuana and San Diego.</p>
<p>According to federal prosecutors in San Diego, the tunnel extended approximately 1,933 feet, reached a depth of about 55 feet and was equipped with reinforced walls, electricity, ventilation systems and rail infrastructure.</p>
<p>Federal investigators said the tunnel connected Tijuana to a storefront in Otay Mesa known as &#8220;Buy 4 Less,&#8221; where agents discovered a concealed exit point hidden beneath the floor of a storage room.</p>
<p>Authorities seized approximately 1,029 kilograms, or more than 2,269 pounds, of suspected cocaine during the investigation, an amount prosecutors estimated was worth roughly $45 million.</p>
<p>Homeland Security Investigations said the seizure dealt a significant blow to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, one of Mexico&#8217;s most powerful criminal organizations.</p>
<p>The investigation resulted in charges against four suspects accused of using the tunnel to move narcotics into the U.S.</p>
<p>Federal officials said the tunnel was discovered after months of surveillance that began in late 2025 and culminated in coordinated enforcement actions on May 29.</p>
<p>Officials described the discovery as a significant blow to criminal organizations that rely on <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/feds-shut-down-cross-border-cartel-tunnel-used-smuggling-us" target="_blank" rel="noopener">underground smuggling routes</a> to move narcotics and other contraband across the border.</p>
<p>&#8220;For these defendants, it wasn’t a light at the end of the tunnel. It was lights and sirens,&#8221; U.S. Attorney Adam Gordon for the Southern District of California, said.</p>
<p>The evidence and property have been turned over to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/politics/attorney-general" target="_blank" rel="noopener">federal prosecutors</a> in Baja California, who will continue the investigation.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.foxnews.com/outkick-analysis/critics-reviews-mandalorian-grogu-yet-another-bad-sign-disney-star-wars">news just keeps getting worse</a> for &#8220;The Mandalorian and Grogu,&#8221; The Walt Disney Company, Lucasfilm, and by extension, the future of the Star Wars franchise.</p>
<p>It was just over a decade ago that &#8220;The Force Awakens&#8221; became the highest-grossing movie, not adjusted for inflation, in the history of domestic U.S. box office. While deeply flawed and derivative, it at least attempted to set up a cohesive storyline for a new generation of Star Wars trilogy.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been downhill ever since.</p>
<p>As soon as &#8220;The Last Jedi&#8221; hit theaters several years later, it became clear that Lucasfilm, then-headed by Kathleen Kennedy, had no coherent plan for the series. &#8220;The Last Jedi&#8221; undid much of &#8220;The Force Awakens,&#8221; had little explanation for plot setups in the first film, and treated the legendary hero of the Star Wars universe with disdain. In short, a microcosm of the problems with modern filmmaking.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.foxnews.com/outkick-culture/new-streaming-data-paints-shockingly-grim-picture-disneys-awful-star-wars-sequels"><strong>NEW STREAMING DATA PAINTS SHOCKINGLY GRIM PICTURE FOR DISNEY&#8217;S AWFUL &#8220;STAR WARS&#8221; SEQUELS</strong></a></p>
<p>The studio scrambled, brought back J.J. Abrams to fix things with &#8220;The Rise of Skywalker.&#8221; Which was widely panned for its unrealistic plot, laughable dialogue, and inexplicable plotting. Fast forward seven years, and &#8220;The Mandalorian and Grogu&#8221; hit theaters as the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.foxnews.com/outkick-analysis/disneys-first-star-wars-movie-tracking-yet-another-massive-disappointment">first Star Wars film</a> of the 2020s.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.foxnews.com/outkick-analysis/star-wars-franchise-serious-trouble-mandalorian-grogu-disappoints-opening-box-office">Opening weekend ticket sales were disappointing</a>, coming in on the low end of estimates at around $81 million, and the long Memorial Day weekend gross winding up far short of &#8220;Solo,&#8221; the last non-trilogy film in the Star Wars universe. That seemed to set up Disney to potentially take a small loss, or struggle to the theatrical break-even point.</p>
<p>Still, if the film had <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/the-mandalorian-grogu-review-entertaining-forgetful-return-star-wars-universe">positive word of mouth</a>, a strong second week could have put &#8220;The Mandalorian and Grogu&#8221; back on track financially. With this past weekend&#8217;s box office results now in, unfortunately for Disney, it was the exact opposite.</p>
<p>According to Box Office Mojo, not only did &#8220;The Mandalorian and Grogu&#8221; drop out of the top spot in theaters, it <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.foxnews.com/outkick-analysis/mandalorian-grogu-prime-example-disneys-star-wars-life-support">fell all the way to third</a> thanks to a whopping 70% collapse in revenues. Its opening weekend was a disappointing $81.7 million, and it fell all the way to just $25 million from Friday to Sunday. That&#8217;s not unprecedented, but it sure is disastrous.</p>
<p>Even more incredible, the two movies that beat out &#8220;The Mandalorian&#8221; were low-budget films from essentially first-time directors. &#8220;Backrooms&#8221; is a $10 million horror movie from 20-year-old YouTuber Kane Parsons. It made $81.4 million in its first weekend, just slightly less than a $175 million Star Wars movie, despite not hitting theaters on a holiday weekend.</p>
<p>&#8220;Obsession&#8221; also beat out &#8220;The Mandalorian,&#8221; grossing an estimated $26.4 million over the weekend. That movie was directed by Curry Barker, a 26-year-old who found fame from YouTube and TikTok. The production budget on &#8220;Obsession,&#8221; at around $750,000, was likely lower than what &#8220;The Mandalorian&#8221; spent on office supplies. It outgrossed it this past weekend anyway.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://link.podtrac.com/dmwdd_article"><strong>ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON&#8217;T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!</strong></a></p>
<p>These results also cement that Disney will likely lose a substantial amount of money on &#8220;The Mandalorian.&#8221; Reports have suggested that production and marketing costs ran around $300 million. Even if tax credits brought that down, a reasonable break-even point would be around $500 million worldwide. At $137 million domestically and a 70% drop, it&#8217;s not going to come close.</p>
<p>Another 70% drop for its third weekend would be just $7.5 million in grosses, all but guaranteeing it winds up well short of $200 million domestically. With international grosses better, but still underwhelming, it&#8217;s possible that &#8220;The Mandalorian and Grogu&#8221; fails to reach even $375 million worldwide. Potentially handing Disney a $100 million+ loss. For a Star Wars movie.</p>
<p>There are plenty of lessons to learn from this, if anyone involved is interested in learning them. Churning out lazy, uninspired movies no longer works, even if they&#8217;re attached to a previously important brand name. Years of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.foxnews.com/outkick-culture/disneys-big-mistake-star-wars-turning-luke-skywalker-mark-hamill-miserable-pathetic-sad">degrading the Star Wars legacy</a> with terrible, unwatchable streaming series and the disappointing end of the previous trilogy have taken their toll.</p>
<p>Teenagers today don&#8217;t have the same reverence for Star Wars that prior generations did. Because the movies they&#8217;ve seen have not been good enough to warrant it. Instead of checking specific boxes and satisfying targets, focus on quality stories and memorable characters. Does anyone care about Rey, or Poe, or Finn? Of course not. But Han Solo, Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca remain beloved parts of film history. Under Disney and Kathleen Kennedy, they&#8217;ve forgotten what made Star Wars what it is. Or used to be. And as this past weekend shows, where two <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/low-budget-horror-flick-obsession-shatters-box-office-expectations-new-star-wars-film-comes-up-short">low-budget horror movies from YouTubers</a> outgrossed a Star Wars movie, it might be too late to fix it.</p>

<p>Alyssa Canul, 17, was arrested on May 27 in Universal City, near <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/us-regions/southwest/texas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">San Antonio</a>, and charged with two counts of aggravated robbery, according to Universal City officials and Bexar County arrest records.</p>
<p>Authorities say she worked alongside her boyfriend, Joseph Anthony Aguilar, 18, who was arrested a day earlier on May 26 during a SWAT operation. Aguilar is facing multiple felony charges.</p>

<p>Police allege the pair targeted young men through dating apps, convincing them to meet in person before robbing and assaulting them.</p>
<p>&#8220;The pair recently moved to Universal City and are accused of <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/dating-apps-tourist-hot-spots-target-americans-how-protect-yourself" target="_blank" rel="noopener">luring young men on online dating</a> sites then, robbing and assaulting them,&#8221; the city said in a statement. </p>
<p>In one case, a victim was allegedly robbed and pistol-whipped.</p>

<p>In another, a 15-year-old boy was lured to a meeting spot and shot four times. The teen survived and is recovering from his injuries, authorities said.</p>
<p>The suspects were living at Universal City&#8217;s Villa Mesa Apartments at the time of the alleged attacks, according to police.</p>
<p>Aguilar was taken into custody during a SWAT operation involving multiple <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/crime/police-and-law-enforcement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">law enforcement agencies</a>.</p>
<p>Investigators at the time said a female accomplice remained at large until authorities later identified and <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/crime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested Canul</a>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A solemn Jacob Fatu made his way to the ring to kickoff &#8220;Monday Night Raw&#8221; following his <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/roman-reigns-domesticates-jacob-fatu-retain-world-heavyweight-championship-wwe-clash-italy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tribal Combat loss to</a> world heavyweight champion Roman Reigns at Clash in Italy with the crowd in Turin wondering whether he would participate in the &#8220;Acknowledgement Ceremony.&#8221;</p>
<p>Reigns was surrounded by his Bloodline stablemates, Jey and Jimmy Uso, smiling as he awaited Fatu’s arrival. Reigns beat Fatu twice in one calendar month, thwarting his first major challenger to a championship he won at <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/wrestlemania" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WrestleMania</a> 42 over CM Punk.</p>
<p><a href="https://link.podtrac.com/dmwdd_article" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON&#8217;T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!</u></strong></a></p>
<p>Fatu’s demeanor was much different than in weeks past. He walked cautiously and less confident than he had been. Reigns had proven everything he said he was. He sits at the head of the table. He is the &#8220;Tribal Chief.&#8221; And it was up to Fatu to &#8220;acknowledge&#8221; him. Fatu snatched the microphone from Jey Uso’s hand.</p>
<p>&#8220;At Tribal Combat, I knew what I was getting myself into. I knew the consequences. I knew the repercussions. Hell, I knew what would happen if I walked out with that title last night,&#8221; Fatu said. &#8220;And I knew what would happen if I lost. Hell, I’ve been taking Ls my whole life. It ain’t nothing new to me. Taking Ls my whole life brought me right here. Standing right in front of you, right now</p>
<p>&#8220;Speaking of a loss, last night in Clash in Italy, in front of the whole world, including my children – my children seen their father be a man, take a loss and keep his word. And last night, I lost to my ‘Tribal Chief.’&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/jacob-fatu-unleashes-vicious-assault-roman-reigns-world-heavyweight-championship-loss-wwe-backlash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fatu finally acknowledged Reigns</a>, getting down on one knee to salute the champion. Reigns said that he loved Fatu.</p>
<p>Jimmy Uso said this was a &#8220;warning shot&#8221; to everyone on the roster. Each member of The Bloodline held up one finger in unison.</p>
<p>WWE unveiled the King and Queen of the Ring Tournament brackets after Clash in Italy was finished and the first match on the men’s side was held on Monday night.</p>
<p>Intercontinental champion Penta, Oba Femi, Solo Sikoa and Carmelo Hayes battled it out in an effort to move to a singles match in the semifinals of the tournament.</p>
<p>Femi was coming off a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/brock-lesnar-makes-stunning-return-wwe-attacking-oba-femi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">devastating loss against Brock Lesnar</a>. He and Lesnar went to war at Clash in Italy, and while he was a little banged up, he looked unstoppable against his three opponents in the fatal four-way.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Ruler&#8221; showed to be unstoppable, taking out everyone involved in the match and Talla Tonga. He hit the Fall from Grace on Sikoa and pinned him for the win.</p>
<p>Femi took the microphone and called out Lesnar after the match was finished. He vowed to win the King of the Ring and go after Lesnar for a third time.</p>
<p>&#8220;You took your best shot and I’m still here,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>The women were in action during the night as well. Iyo Sky, Roxanne Perez, Giulia and Lash Legend squared off in a fatal four-way match with a spot in the semifinals waiting for the winner.</p>
<p>Giulia came in as the favorite with the Italian crowd behind her. But she faced an uphill battle against upstart prospects in Perez and Legend and the former champion, Sky. Giulia hit an Arrivederci on Legend, but the pin fall was broken up.</p>
<p>Each wrestler received a chance to showcase their abilities, but for the most part, no one could get an easy pin. Sky took advantage of Legend’s double slam on Perez and Giulia. She moved Legend out of her way, stepped on Giulia and hit the Over the Moonsault to defeat Giulia.</p>

<p>The rivalry between Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker has not slowed down one bit. The two have still been going at it following Breakker’s win over Rollins at <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/bron-breakker-picks-biggest-win-since-wwe-main-roster-call-backlash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Backlash last month</a>. But Breakker and The Vision were down another man going into the main event on &#8220;Monday Night Raw.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/wwe-star-logan-paul-tears-triceps-saturday-nights-main-event-miss-number-months" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Logan Paul tore his triceps</a> and is out of action for the foreseeable future. Bronson Reed has been recovering from his own injury, leaving The Vision down to just Breakker and Austin Theory. Breakker stepped up as a tag team champion in Paul’s place but the turmoil in the stable appeared to affect the outcome of the match.</p>
<p>The Vision couldn’t play the mind games that they are used to in order to score the victory. The match descended into chaos with Theory making his presence felt. He hit Rollins with the title before Montez Ford came to to even the odds in Rollins’ corner. Breakker hit Ford with a spear and then Rollins, but &#8220;The Visionary&#8221; kicked out of a pin.</p>
<p>Rollins hit Breakker with a Stomp. But Paul Heyman would put Breakker’s foot on the rope to break the pin. Rollins came after Heyman with a crazed look. He took his eyes off Breakker, who came around and tried to hit Rollins with a spear. But Breakker bulldozed the 60-year-old Heyman through the barricade.</p>
<p>Rollins sneakily grabbed the title and put it near his abdomen. As Breakker came back into the ring, his spear went into the belt itself. Rollins then picked up the win.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville and his co-host Al Hunt agreed last Thursday that Texas’ Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico needs to walk back his past comments if he wants to win in the Lone Star State.</p>
<p>Talarico, the co-hosts agreed, is in a strong position to score a historic victory in Texas if he plays his cards right. They previously <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/james-carville-blasts-crockett-says-she-not-viable-candidate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cheered his victory over</a> Rep. Jasmine Crockett, to be the Democrat&#8217;s nominee, saying he would likely push the same policies as Crockett but without sharing her history of controversial comments.</p>
<p>However, some of his <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/god-non-binary-texas-dem-nominee-talaricos-past-remarks-abortion-race-gender-draw-scrutiny" target="_blank" rel="noopener">past statements on race, gender</a> ideology, abortion, and religion are now causing headaches for his campaign.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think Talarico has to be smart, and he has to be aggressive. As you just suggested, the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/open-borders-trump-hating-radical-gop-unleashes-early-blitz-texas-democrat-talarico" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GOP already aired an ad</a> accusing him of saying all kinds of weird things,&#8221; Hunt said. </p>
<p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/james-talarico-admits-past-comments-missed-mark-when-confronted-claims-like-god-non-binary" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>JAMES TALARICO ADMITS PAST COMMENTS &#8216;MISSED THE MARK&#8217; WHEN CONFRONTED ON CLAIMS LIKE GOD IS &#8216;NON-BINARY&#8217;</strong></a></p>
<p>&#8220;Some of it is true,&#8221; Carville agreed, before adding, &#8220;He&#8217;s got to deal with it.&#8221; </p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah, but he said there&#8217;s six genders. Well, I don&#8217;t know whether he said it or not, but if he said it, God d&#8212; it, he better walk it back right now or explain it,&#8221; Hunt said. &#8220;But most importantly, I think James, what he has to do is say, ‘Hey, I may have said some dumb things, but Ken Paxton has committed dumb, corrupt acts that hurt Texas citizens.’&#8221;</p>
<p>Hunt went on to argue that Texas has a 50% chance of electing him.</p>
<p>&#8220;If he stays on the offensive and Hispanic and Black voters are energized, I may not be quite as — I mean, I think Texans — I think Talarico has a 50/50 shot.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;On that, we can agree,&#8221; Carville said. &#8220;It&#8217;s a pure tossup.&#8221;</p>
<p>Carville argued that all the key ingredients for a superb Democratic comeback are there.</p>
<p>&#8220;First, you would have a bruising, expensive, negative, drawn-out Republican primary. Check. It would need a Democrat who would defeat an urban progressive in a Democratic primary to at least give a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/ms-now-analyst-admits-talarico-not-moderate-despite-religious-appeal-has-similar-far-left-views-cro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">patina of moderation. Check</a>!&#8221; Carville said.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rising-star-talarico-topples-progressive-firebrand-crockett-high-stakes-texas-senate-democratic-primary" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>RISING STAR TALARICO TOPPLES PROGRESSIVE FIREBRAND CROCKETT IN HIGH-STAKES TEXAS SENATE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY</strong></a></p>
<p>He continued, &#8220;You would need to have a political climate where Democrats would be consistently overperforming. Check. You would have to raise an inordinate amount of money for a Texas Democrat because they have no power. Check.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;In other words,&#8221; Carville concluded, &#8220;everything that you would say in a lab had to happen to get this thing to the point that here we are, almost post-Memorial Day, saying it&#8217;s a 50/50 race.&#8221;</p>
<p>In a recent CBS interview, Talarico blasted Paxton’s campaign for <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/talarico-confronted-past-tweets-accusing-white-people-spreading-virus-racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">clipping his past controversial statements</a>, even as he admitted he regrets some of them.</p>
<p>&#8220;There are some statements that I have made that I certainly regret. There are statements that I have made where I have missed the mark. I will be the first to admit that,&#8221; Talarico said. &#8220;But Ken Paxton is intentionally clipping my cringey comments to distract from his career of corruption.&#8221;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Albanian anti-corruption prosecutors are investigating changes to the protected status of a coastal wetland where a luxury resort project linked to Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of U.S. President Donald Trump, has drawn environmental opposition and protests, according to Politico.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Albanian anti-corruption prosecutors are investigating changes to the protected status of a coastal wetland where a luxury resort project linked to Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of U.S. President <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/donald-trump">Donald Trump,</a> has drawn environmental opposition and protests, according to Politico.</p>
<p>SPAK, Albania’s special anti-corruption prosecution office, has opened a probe into changes made to the status of the Vjosa-Narta protected landscape in Zvërnec, Politico reported. The coastal wetland area is home to flamingos, Mediterranean monk seals, and sea turtle nesting sites, Politico reported.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/ivanka-trump-breaks-down-emotional-interview-talking-about-her-mother-ivanas-death-other-challenges"><strong><u>IVANKA TRUMP BREAKS DOWN IN EMOTIONAL INTERVIEW TALKING ABOUT HER MOTHER IVANA’S DEATH, OTHER CHALLENGES</u></strong></a></p>
<p>In 2024, Kushner publicly discussed plans for his firm, Affinity Partners, to develop luxury tourism projects in Albania, including in the Zvërnec area. Earlier this year, he visited the area with his wife, Ivanka Trump.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.foxnews.com/world/albanians-rally-thousands-ruling-socialist-government">Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama</a> recently confirmed to Politico that talks were ongoing between the government and Kushner over the deal, which is expected to include roughly 10,000 hotel rooms and villas.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.foxnews.com/world/european-capital-rocked-violent-protests-government-corruption-probe-fuels-unrest"><strong>EUROPEAN CAPITAL ROCKED BY VIOLENT PROTESTS AS GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION PROBE FUELS UNREST</strong></a></p>
<p>&#8220;I want to make Albania a country that is a destination to be envied in the region, and this project is part of this effort,&#8221; Rama said Monday.</p>
<p>Fox News Digital has reached out to Affinity Partners and SPAK for comment.</p>
<p>Protests by Albanian citizens and nonprofit groups began in May when large, barbed-wire-topped fences were erected at the proposed site, preventing locals and tourists from accessing the beach. On Sunday, protesters assembled outside government offices to demand an end to the project as well as <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.foxnews.com/world/former-trump-advisors-wage-balkan-campaign-maga-moves-europe">Rama&#8217;s resignation</a>.</p>
<p>Following Sunday&#8217;s protests, footage emerged showing private security guards appearing to assault and drag a protester along a cliff. Some guards allegedly threatened other demonstrators who were attempting to remove fences and halt construction.</p>
<p>The licenses of two private security companies were revoked following the incident. Meanwhile, around 15 protesters have been charged, and the local <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/crime">police chief</a> has been stripped of his duties.</p>
