A suspected drug smuggler was arrested off the coast of California this week after federal agents discovered $6.4 million worth of cocaine aboard an oil tanker destined for a Mexican drug cartel. Ceasar Tubay Gelacio Jr., 43, of the Philippines, was charged with importation of a controlled substance , the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California announced.

Thunder erase 15-point deficit to take series lead over Spurs as Victor Wembanyama's 26 points fall short

Through the first two games of the Western Conference Finals, Spurs star Victor Wembanyama has produced numbers not seen at this stage of the postseason in roughly 50 years. As the series shifted to San Antonio for Game 3 on Friday, the French basketball phenom once again led the Spurs in scoring. But his 26-point performance was not enough to give San Antonio a 2-1 series lead over the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder. Reigning back-to-back NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander matched Wembanyama with 26 points, leading Oklahoma City to a 123-108 victory. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Shortly after Game 2 on Wednesday, Spurs guard Stephon Castle acknowledged that his team is "probably most comfortable playing in front of our fans."

Platner in the hot seat as Maine voters rip his 'horrible' comments amid Reddit scandal

Voters in Maine are split on whether the many controversies that have followed Democratic Graham Platner’s Senate campaign carry enough weight to sway their vote come November. To some, the off-color remarks about sexual abuse, terror and race — made years before he launched his Senate bid — are simply the fallout of military service and its strain on the mind. "I think they’re unfortunate, but coming back from a stressful situation like that, I don’t know what the hell I’d say. So, I’m not going to hold it against him," Joe, a voter from Shapleigh, Maine, told Fox News Digital, alluding to Platner's history as a Marine. But to others, the comments speak to a character that should not be given a place in Congress. MAINE SENATE CANDIDATE CITES COMBAT TRAUMA WHEN CONFRONTED ON 'TERRIBLE' POSTS ABOUT SEXUAL ASSAULT "I think it's kind of ridiculous. I mean, is that all right to say things like that and be, ‘okay, we're gonna vote for him?’ I don't t...

Stephen Colbert takes final bow as 'Late Show' host in star-studded, nonpolitical finale

Stephen Colbert officially made his final bow as host of "The Late Show" after 11 years with a star-studded series finale that refrained from getting political. "This show... has been a joy for us to do for you," Colbert told his audience in the cold open. "On night one of 'The Colbert Report' back in the day, I said 'Anyone can read the news to you, I promise to feel the news at you.' And I realized pretty soon in this job that our job over here was different. We were here to feel the news with you. And I don't know about you, but I sure have felt it," he said. A LOOK BACK AT STEPHEN COLBERT'S MOST PARTISAN MOMENTS AS ‘THE LATE SHOW’ HOST Colbert, who is widely credited for leading the politicization of late-night television, avoided politics in his final show, not even uttering President Donald Trump's name. Filling the political void was a slew of Colbert's famous friends. Among the cameos were Bryan Cranston, Paul Rudd...

Stephen Colbert and me: How late-night partisan comedy works – until it doesn’t

Stephen Colbert and I go way back. I’ve interviewed him many times. I’ve been on his show, he’s been on my show. Whether or not you agree with his liberal crusading – and half the country can’t stand it – his final show raised questions about political retribution, a splintered media universe and the crumbling future of late night itself.  THE ART OF PERFECTION: HOW TRUMP SURVIVES EVEN HIS WORST BLUNDERS THROUGH SHEER REPETITION Putting aside the cosmic conclusions for a moment, I first interviewed Colbert when Comedy Central was giving "The Daily Show" correspondent an eight-week tryout as host of his own show, and he didn’t know if it would last. He was congenial and about as quick-witted as any comedian I’ve seen, possibly matched by Jon Stewart. While playing a blowhard conservative anchor on "The Colbert Report," he once took a mild swipe at me. I had reported, factually, on Fox that some Republicans and right-wing media figures were taking shots at Hillary Cli...

Brooklyn mother who drowned her three children in the ocean near Coney Island sentenced to decades in prison

A Brooklyn woman who drowned her three children in the Atlantic Ocean near Coney Island’s famous boardwalk will spend decades behind bars. Erin Merdy, 34, was sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty earlier this year to first-degree murder charges in the 2022 deaths of her 7-year-old son Zachary, her 4-year-old daughter Liliana and her 3-month-old son Oliver. "No sentence can fully measure the loss of a seven-year-old, a four-year-old and a three-month-old baby, or the grief their loved ones will carry forever," Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said in a statement. "We sought the strongest possible accountability in this devastating case, and while nothing can bring these children back, this sentence ensures the defendant will be held responsible for taking their lives," he added. JUDGE SENTENCES NEVADA MOM FOR DROWNING YOUNG SON, DAUGHTER: 'I WILL REMEMBER YOUR CASE FOREVER' Gonzalez said the children’s lives were taken "in the most heartbr...
