America’s longest-running TV evangelist fighting for his life after medical emergency
The family of prominent televangelist the Rev. Jimmy Swaggart said he remains hospitalized in critical condition after suffering a cardiac arrest.
During a Sunday service, Swaggart’s son, the Rev. Donnie Swaggart, asked the congregation to keep his father in their prayers, saying that only a “miracle” could extend his father’s life.
“On this Father’s Day, we urgently ask you to pray for Brother Swaggart. He needs a miracle from heaven right now, this morning. We must have the Lord intervene in this situation, and we need your prayers,” Donnie Swaggart wrote in a post on his father’s Facebook page.
“He’s my rock and my hero and he needs the Lord’s healing power today. If I am able to get away, I will try to be at the service to give everyone an update,” Donnie Swaggart wrote in another post.
EX-MEGACHURCH FOUNDER HIT WITH $1M LAWSUIT CLAIMING SEXUAL ABUSE AND ELABORATE COVER-UP SCHEME
The Rev. Jimmy Swaggart has preached the gospel of Jesus Christ on television longer than any other American evangelist in history, according to his ministry website.
Swaggart, who was born on March 15, 1935, in Ferriday, Louisiana, launched into full-time ministry in 1955. He serves as the pastor of the Family Worship Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and is the founder of Jimmy Swaggart Ministries.

At his peak in the mid-1980s, Swaggart was the country’s top-rated TV preacher. His services were broadcast to over 2 million households.
However, his image was bruised after he was linked to a 1987 scandal involving a prostitute that he met in a seedy New Orleans motel.

Swaggart never confessed to anything more than an unspecified sin during a televised apology in which he tearfully delivered his “I have sinned speech.”
A few years later, he was stopped by police while driving in California with a suspected prostitute in his car.

Swaggart also made headlines for saying in a televised worship service that he would kill any gay man who looked at him romantically. Swaggart said he made the comment jokingly and did not mean any harm.
Fox News Digital reached out to Swaggart’s representatives for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
Illegal immigrant makes crucial admission while getting arrested by ICE
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) says an illegal immigrant with a past robbery conviction, and who was previously arrested on murder and assault charges, was arrested after spitting on an agent last Tuesday.
Omar Pulido Bastida, 41, is facing a federal assault charge for allegedly spitting on an ICE agent while they were trying to arrest him for illegally returning to the United States, as he’s been deported before.
“Despite the Los Angeles riots, ICE law enforcement officers arrested Omar Pulido-Bastida. This criminal illegal alien has been convicted of robbery and has arrests for murder and assault,” Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in an exclusive statement to Fox News Digital about the Mexican national.
FEDERAL AGENTS CAPTURE ALIEN ACCUSED OF RAPE, ASSAULT WHILE LA POLITICIANS CONDEMN ICE OPERATIONS
“This is the type of criminal illegal alien that rioters are fighting to protect. How much longer will Governor Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass continue to prioritize these criminal illegal aliens over their own citizens? Secretary Noem has a message to the LA rioters: you will not stop us or slow us down. ICE will continue to enforce the law and arrest criminal illegal aliens,” McLaughlin continued.
Pulido Bastida resides in South Central Los Angeles, and he could face eight years behind bars if convicted of assault.

“This defendant found out the hard way: When you spit, we hit – with a felony charge,” U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said in a statement last week. “Law enforcement officers risk their lives and safety to uphold the law. To treat them with the disrespect, like this defendant did, mocks our great nation and such behavior will be punished accordingly.”
ICE RAMPS UP ARRESTS OF CONVICTED CRIMINALS AS RIOTS RAGE IN BLUE CITY: ‘YOU WILL NOT STOP US’
The Department of Justice alleges the man first insulted an ICE officer from his balcony before coming down and spitting on an agent through a gate, saying just before that, “No, get out of here. I know my rights. I’m calling my lawyer.” After that, ICE then “forced entry” into his home and arrested the man, who was hiding and said, “OK, you got me,” before his arrest, the news release added.
Fox News Digital reached out to Newsom’s office. Bass’s office pointed Fox News Digital to a quote from her press conference last week.
“These aren’t the criminals the administration is allegedly targeting,” Bass said. “These are mothers and fathers, restaurant workers, seamstresses, home care workers, everyday Angelenos trying to make a living. We’ve heard stories of unmarked federal vans parked near LAUSD school graduations, a U.S. citizen nine months pregnant who was hospitalized after being detained by federal agents, and an apparel business in downtown L.A. raided, where many Korean and Latino workers work long hours to support their families.”
The arrest announcement comes after anti-ICE protests and riots broke out in Los Angeles last week as the agency did sweeps throughout the region. On Sunday night, President Donald Trump posted to Truth Social that he wanted to see arrests ramped up further to “achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History.”

“His plan is clear: Incite violence and chaos in blue states, have an excuse to militarize our cities, demonize his opponents, keep breaking the law and consolidate power. It’s illegal and we will not let it stand,” Newsom posted to X in direct response to Trump’s post.
Former Coast Guard lieutenant arrested for threats to President Trump
A former Coast Guard lieutenant was recently arrested for allegedly making threats to kill President Donald Trump, according to court documents obtained by Fox News.
The suspect, Virginia resident Peter Stinson, served as an officer in the United States Coast Guard from 1988 to 2021. He was a sharpshooter as well as a FEMA instructor during that time.
In an affidavit filed on Friday, a task force officer from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) revealed details about the myriad of online threats that Stinson allegedly made.
In one instance, Stinson reportedly wrote that Trump needed to be “[L]uigied,” on May 9. The post was a reference to Luigi Mangione, who is accused of killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson last year.
FLORIDA POLICE ARREST MAN FOR MAKING ‘WRITTEN THREATS TO KILL’ TRUMP
Stinson allegedly made graphic threats against Trump involving guns, poisoning and even knives on multiple social media platforms.
Stinson also allegedly referenced “not having the necessary skills,” to successfully complete an assassination, but also eerily suggested that he wasn’t being entirely truthful.

The document also alleges that Stinson made several references to 8647, which government officials say “is likely in reference to an Instagram post made by former FBI Director James Comey.”
“The post by Comey was interpreted in the news media as a violent threat to President Trump and prompted an investigation by the Department of Homeland Security and the United States Secret Service. STINSON has since made 13 additional posts on Bluesky including the text, ‘8647’,” the document states.
The affidavit also alleges that Stinson “has self-identified as a member of ANTIFA.”
On Feb. 2, Stinson allegedly posted on his X account, “Sure. This is war. Sides will be drawn. Antifa always wins in the end. Violence is inherently necessary.”
The most recent post referenced in the document was published on BlueSky on June 11, when Stinson allegedly wrote, “When he dies, the party is going to be yuge.”

Stinson was charged with making threats to kill the president and is slated to make an initial appearance in federal court on Wednesday.
Family dog euthanized after Minnesota lawmaker and husband murdered in home attack
Only days after a gunman shot and killed Minnesota state lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, the family’s rescue dog Gilbert had to be euthanized.
Vance Boelter allegedly shot Gilbert, the family’s golden retriever, during the attack at the Brooklyn Park home.
Fellow Minnesota House Rep. Erin Koegel commented on social media platform X that he was put down following the murder.
MINNESOTA SHOOTING SUSPECT VANCE BOELTER TO FACE FEDERAL CHARGES IN LAWMAKER ATTACKS
“Her children had to put down him after learning their parents had been murdered. Gilbert wasn’t going to survive. Melissa loved that dog. She trained him as a service dog. He flunked out of school and she was so happy he failed so he could stay! She needed him in heaven with her,” Koegel said.
Helping Paws, a local non-profit in Eden Prairie, Minn, took to Facebook after hearing of Rep. Hortman’s death to share some kind words and a photo of Gilbert and Hortman together.
The group said they remembered Hortman for her kindness and compassion. They said she always strived to make the world a better place.
SUSPECTED MINNESOTA LAWMAKER ASSASSIN VANCE BOELTER CAPTURED
“This morning, we learned of the tragic and senseless death of former Speaker of the House Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark,” the post began.
“Melissa served her community in more ways than one. She was a Helping Paws Foster Home Trainer, a neighbor, and a friend. The Hortman family raised and trained Minnie, who is now a working service dog partnered with a Veteran. They also helped raise and train Gilbert, a service dog in training who was eventually career changed and became a cherished member of their family. At this time, we do not have confirmed information about Gilbert’s condition,” the nonprofit wrote Saturday, after Hortman’s death.
Koegel told the Minnesota Star Tribune that the House sergeant-at-arms informed members that Gilbert had to be put down. Hortman’s adult children released a statement Monday night, saying that one way to keep their parent’s memory alive would be to: “Pet a dog. A golden retriever is ideal, but any will do.”
Vance Boelter, 57, was hit with multiple federal charges after officials captured him Sunday in what police described as the “largest manhunt” in the state’s history.

He is charged with two counts of stalking, two counts of murder and two counts of firearm-related crimes in federal court.
In addition to the federal charges, Boelter is facing second-degree murder charges filed in Hennepin County, where he is accused of killing former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, early Saturday morning at their Brooklyn Park home in Minneapolis, and of shooting State Sen. John Hoffman, also a Democrat, and his wife, Yvette, in their nearby Champlin home in a related attack.
Clinton’s attempt to mock military parade as she partied at swank wedding backfires
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s attempt to mock President Donald Trump‘s military parade honoring the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army backfired on social media as conservatives and other critics lambasted her for allegedly holding “utter contempt” for the U.S. military, while others slammed her for spending the weekend in the Hamptons attending her former longtime aide’s wedding while criticizing Trump.
“This witch was a few votes away from becoming commander in chief. This is what she thinks of our military. Man, @BuzzPatterson was right. Hillary hates the troops,” conservative X commentator Benny Johnson posted in response to Clinton’s post Sunday.
Clinton posted compare and contrast photos of Trump’s military parade that was held on Washington’s Constitution Ave. Saturday evening. Protesters nationwide held “No Kings Day” demonstrations in response to Trump’s parade, and to denounce the Trump administration’s ongoing deportation raids in left-wing cities.
“Compare and contrast scenes from yesterday in America,” Clinton posted to X Sunday. “On the one hand, Trump’s low-energy Dear Leader parade (that cost you $45 million). On the other, millions of people across the country gathering peacefully to say: Here, we have no kings.”
WHITE HOUSE SLAMS ‘UTTER FAILURE’ OF ANTI-TRUMP PROTESTS AS AMERICA CELEBRATES ARMY’S HISTORIC MILESTONE
Clinton’s message was accompanied by photos of protests in Los Angeles and Houston, as well as two shots of the parade showing a military flyover showcasing the Washington Monument, and another picture showing a group of people watching the military parade’s tanks chug down the street.
The administration reported that more than 250,000 people traveled to Washington for the Saturday parade, which fell on the same day as Trump’s 79th birthday and Flag Day. While thousands of protesters in cities nationwide took to the streets to protest Trump in the “No Kings” demonstrations, which included violence spiraling amid the protests in some cities such as Portland, Oregon, and ongoing violence in Los Angeles.
Conservatives and other critics slammed Clinton and her post for allegedly showing her dislike of the U.S. military.
“Hillary Clinton hates the troops, bigtime,” assistant director of Florida’s Voice posted to X.
“Utter contempt for the 250th birthday of the @USArmy,” another critic posted in response to Clinton.
“And, we don’t have queens either. We have a duly-elected president…which you’ll never be,” author and retired Air Force Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson posted on X.
MORE AMERICANS SUPPORT THAN OPPOSE TRUMP’S ARMY CELEBRATION PARADE: POLL
“If the only thing @realDonaldTrump ever did was stop Hillary from being President he would be the greatest American ever born,” another critic posted.
“Basically what you did in Benghazi shows how much respect you have for our military. You really should sit this one out,” another X user posted.
“We already have a “No kings” day, Hillary. It’s called July 4th aka independence day, where we said no to a monarchy. This is the type of product of the public school system,” an account called Jewish MAGA posted.
LIBERAL MEDIA MELTS DOWN OVER TRUMP’S MILITARY PARADE PLAN, CALLING IT ‘AUTHORITARIAN’
Other critics slammed Clinton for restricting replies to her post, while others pointed out that while Trump held a parade honoring the military, Clinton was in the Hamptons celebrating her longtime former aide Huma Abedin’s wedding to Alex Soros, the son of left-wing billionaire donor George Soros.
“On one hand you had shootings and riots .. On another hand, You had happy people celebrating the 250th Army Anniversary … Your Point ? BTW: How was the Democrat Royal Wedding of Alex Soros and Huma Abedin?” one critic posted Sunday.
‘THE VIEW’ CO-HOST SAYS AMERICA’S TROOPS WILL LOOK LIKE NORTH KOREANS MARCHING THROUGH DC FOR PARADE
“How was the Soros wedding? Chilling with the liberal royalty sounds like fun on No Kings Day!” another critic posted.
Clinton attended the Abedin–Soros wedding Saturday, which included other Democrat heavyweights, including Bill Clinton, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, former Vice President Kamala Harris — as well as her husband Doug Emhoff — and Pelosi attended the wedding, the New York Times reported. Other celebrities and high-profile attendees included Vogue’s Anna Wintour, socialite Nicky Hilton Rothschild, and Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, the outlet reported, citing attendees.
“I’m looking forward to being a witness to their marriage; to the celebration that we all are going to be part of; to seeing so many longtime friends gathered in one place to really enjoy being part of Huma and Alex’s start of their married life,” Hillary Clinton told Vogue of the wedding in an article published Saturday. “And I think we all could use some fun, so I’m looking forward to all of it.”

The wedding included a live performance from Boyz II Men, the vocal harmony group behind hits such as 1991’s “Motownphilly,” according to the Times, as well as toasts from Hillary Clinton, Wintour and the Albanian prime minister. Abedin wore two custom wedding dresses over the course of the day, Vogue reported.

Audio reveals desperate request from dad accused of killing daughters in wooded area
New audio from a family court hearing shows Travis Decker pleading with a judge to let him spend more time with his three daughters, who he’s accused of killing.
The bodies of Decker’s three daughters, Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia, 5, were found in a wooded area approximately 30 miles from Rock Island Campground in Washington, according to the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office in a statement. Federal authorities took over the search on June 8 after local officials said they needed assistance. Decker is a former Army soldier with “extensive” training.
“We had reached a point where we need to rest our local resources,” the statement said. “However, CCSO leadership remains closely involved in search coordination and continues their lead with the criminal investigation.”
According to Fox 13, Decker’s visitation time with the three girls had been reduced in recent years. Whitney, Decker’s ex-wife, and her lawyer cited alleged endangerment of the three children, declining mental health and lack of communication in their request to decrease Travis’ visitation time.
ALLEGED KILLER DAD COULD MAKE ‘ONE MISTAKE’ THAT ENDS MANHUNT, SHERIFF SAYS
During a family court hearing in September 2024, a family court judge allowed Whitney to take near-full custody of the girls, alleging neglect and emotional distress. Travis was allowed to visit the children every other weekend for a set number of hours.
Decker expressed frustration with the parenting plan and told the family court judge he’d like to see his daughters more.
“I already only get a day and a half, two days, with my daughters, and it’s two nights. It’s a Friday night, Saturday night, and because of my current job and the current location, I’m in Idaho working. I am in the U.S. [Carpenter’s Union], so where I go, where the work is, is where I come, and through the new parenting plan, it takes away basically all my opportunities to be around the girls when I’m not at work. If I have the opportunity to be there for my daughters, I feel like I should be able to be there for them and not have to find my way to be around my daughters,” Decker said.
Decker’s children were allegedly heard crying over the phone with their mother during an overnight trip with their father at the Wenatchee armory, according to court records. The incident was cited with others as reasons why Decker shouldn’t be allowed to keep the kids overnight.
“I don’t believe that my weekends should be completely taken away since I have been gone. Every time I’ve had the girls, we have been in campsites, in national forests and paid campsites that have campers. We’ve never done anything that was unsafe or anything I wouldn’t want to put myself in,” Decker told the judge.
SURVIVALIST’S GOOGLE SEARCHES REVEAL POSSIBLE ESCAPE PLAN AMID MANHUNT IN DAUGHTERS’ TRIPLE MURDER: REPORT
After the judge signed off on the parenting plan that reduced the time Decker would spend with his daughters, he continued to ask for a different outcome.
“And then nothing can change that? Nothing, my signature doesn’t matter anyway, right? So if I don’t sign it, then …” Decker said.
When Decker didn’t drop the girls off by the 8 p.m. curfew on May 30, Whitney tried calling him, but he didn’t pick up, according to an affidavit. According to the court document, Decker had never missed a curfew to return the children.
The court documents indicated Decker had mental health issues and borderline personality disorder, adding he is homeless and lives in campgrounds and motels.

Decker was charged with three counts of aggravated first-degree murder and kidnapping.
Former MLB All-Star warns he’ll refuse Trump support amid Middle East tensions
Former Cincinnati Reds shortstop Zack Cozart was a staunch supporter of Donald Trump as he defeated former Vice President Kamala Harris for the White House in the 2024 presidential election.
But the one-time MLB All-Star drew a line in his support for the president on Monday as Trump called for mass evacuations in Tehran while tensions between Israel and Iran escalated.

“If Trump gets us in a war, I will no longer support him, and I’m sure most of you know I love Trump,” Cozart wrote in a post on X.
Trump is set to depart the G7 summit in Canada on Monday night because of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran.
“President Trump had a great day at the G7, even signing a major trade deal with the United Kingdom and Prime Minister Keir Starmer,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said. “Much was accomplished, but because of what’s going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State.”

Trump has requested that the National Security Council be prepared in the situation room for his return, Fox News has learned.
Meanwhile, White House spokesperson Alex Pfeiffer dismissed reports the U.S. military was joining Israel in an attack on Iran.
“This is not true. American forces are maintaining their defensive posture, and that has not changed. We will defend American interests,” Pfeiffer wrote on X.
Cozart came out in support of Trump ahead of the president’s speech at the Republican National Convention nearly a year ago.
“I dunno bout yall but I can’t wait to vote for Trump… I’ve honestly never seen the party as united as now… they tried to kill our President … least we can do is VOTE!!” he wrote.
Cozart played in Major League Baseball from 2011 to 2019. The Tennessee native was a second-round pick of the Reds in 2007. He played with the Los Angeles Angels for the final two years of his career in 2018 and 2019.
He was an All-Star in 2017 when he hit 24 home runs, drove in 63 runs and hit .297.

Former WNBA star says she’s ‘never seen this before’ after Clark’s return
Caitlin Clark put the rest of the WNBA on notice as she returned to the Indiana Fever lineup with a vengeance and upended the New York Liberty’s undefeated streak on Saturday night.
Clark’s 32-point victory in the 102-88 win gave Indiana its fifth win of the season. Clark made seven 3-pointers, including three in a 38-second span that even shocked former Liberty star Rebecca Lobo.

The Basketball Hall of Famer talked about Clark’s performance and what she means to WNBA viewership as the league saw numbers dwindle a bit in her absence.
“It means a lot more people are paying attention once again,” Lobo said Monday on ESPN’s “First Take,” via Awful Announcing. “We know how much Caitlin drives ratings. We know how much Caitlin drives attention on the WNBA. For her to come back and do it in that way was just ridiculous.
“I’m sitting there at the end of the first quarter when she had that 38-second stretch where she drained deep three after deep three after deep three. I was just sitting there thinking, I’ve been around this league since 1997. I have never seen that in a WNBA game. Have we seen players go on runs? Of course, we have, but not like that, not where a couple of the 3-pointers are from 30-plus feet.”
CAITLIN CLARK RETURNS FROM INJURY WITH A VENGEANCE; LIBERTY’S PERFECT RECORD FALLS
The Fever pointed out just how deep Clark’s range was.
Three of her 3-pointers came from beyond 30 feet. She hit the rest from at least 26 feet. The WNBA 3-point line is 22 feet away from the basket.
“It was an exhibition by her after being out for 19 days to recover from an injury,” Lobo added. “Couple that with the other passes that she made and some of the other plays, it was just ridiculous. It’s not often that you’re watching the WNBA, or that I’m watching it, and I’m like, ‘Wow, I’ve just never seen this before.’”

Chick-fil-A fans ‘shocked’ by controversial cup change sparking customer outrage
Some Reddit users are calling out a beloved fast-food chain over a change in the cups for their beverages.
A user on the Chick-fil-A forum on Reddit posted a photo of a paper cup in front of a takeout bag.
“I’m fine with the fries change, but taking away the Styrofoam cup? This feels gross,” says the title of the post.
REDDIT USERS ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THEIR CHICK-FIL-A SAUCE PACKET EXPERIENCES
Fox News Digital reached out to Chick-fil-A for comment.
The post garnered hundreds of reactions, with customers weighing in on the Styrofoam vs. paper cup debate.
“CFA usually uses Styrofoam cups unless there is a local or state law that prohibits them from doing so,” wrote one user.
“Styrofoam bans are getting increasingly more common.”

One user wrote, “I personally dislike the Styrofoam cups. Whenever I have them, I wonder if a loose small piece of Styrofoam is floating around in my drink.”
“If it bothers you so much, you can always keep a Yeti mug in your car and transfer your drink to that.”

“I’m shocked that people would miss the Styrofoam cup,” one person wrote.
“Do you like eating plastic[?]” the person added.
One customer wrote, “They just made this change at my CFA in Virginia. I did a double take.”
“Styrofoam isn’t biodegradable, so the cups from Chick-fil-A you got as a kid, well, they’re still sitting there! Not going anywhere, just piling up more and more,” commented a Redditor.
Styrofoam cups are made from polystyrene. Twelve states have banned polystyrene foam, which may be the reason for the switch to paper cups.
