WWE star Trick Williams talks WrestleMania 42 match: 'I’ve been training my whole life for this moment'

Trick Williams has been one of WWE’s biggest rising stars since he was elevated to the main roster earlier this year. Williams’ presentation – from his mink coat to his "lemon-pepper steppers" to his entrance music – has been able to capture pro wrestling fans’ attention for all the right reasons. He was able to earn his way into the United States Championship picture and will be going up against Sami Zayn for the title at WrestleMania 42 on Sunday.

DANA PERINO: 'Purple State' reveals life's biggest choices are personal, not political

If you read " Everything Will Be Okay " and felt inspired and reassured, read " Purple State ." Over the years, I’ve been driven to write my mentoring books because I wanted all of my best advice to be in one place. As I set out to draft my new novel, "Purple State," I wanted to help my characters — three women: Dot, Mary and Harper — live out those lessons in the story. They confront and address their quarter-life crises in a way that has the potential to set them up for career success and personal fulfillment. In my nonfiction books, I talked about living with principles that make decision-making easier. And now in "Purple State," I show what it costs to live by those principles — to have them tested, and to live with the consequences of your decisions. That’s how I’ve bridged the two books. DANA PERINO: 'EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY' -- WHAT I WANT TO SHARE WITH TODAY'S YOUNG WOMEN " Everything Will Be Okay " made it plai...

Titanic survivor's life jacket sells for over $900K at auction, far exceeding price expectations

A life jacket worn by a Titanic survivor sold for more than $900,000 at auction Saturday, far exceeding expectations and highlighting the enduring fascination with the doomed ship. The flotation device — believed to be one of only a handful of Titanic life jackets still in existence — was used by first-class passenger Laura Mabel Francatelli during the ship’s 1912 sinking and was the only one of its kind ever offered at auction. It sold for 670,000 pounds, or roughly $906,000, including fees, at Henry Aldridge & Son auctioneers in Devizes, England, to an unidentified telephone bidder. The final price far surpassed its estimated range of about $339,000 to $475,000. DEEP-SEA TREASURE HUNTER FREED AFTER DECADE BEHIND BARS FOR REFUSING TO REVEAL GOLD LOCATION Other items sold at the auction included a seat cushion from a Titanic lifeboat, which fetched about $527,000 and was purchased by the owners of Titanic museums in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and Branson, Missouri.

Iran could use detained Americans as ‘sweetener’ in nuclear talks, ex-hostage envoy warns

A former lead hostage negotiator under the first Trump and Biden administrations warned that the Iranians are tougher negotiators than the Russians, Chinese and even the Taliban, noting that several Americans are still wrongfully detained in Iran and should be included in any peace talks.  Roger Carstens, the U.S. former Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs, said in an interview with Fox News that six American citizens are being held captive in Iranian prisons — each of them previously held in Evin prison in Tehran, known for its harsh conditions. He said the Iranians will likely use the American hostages as a "sweetener" to ensure negotiations go in "the direction of Iran" as the United States seeks a nuclear deal and permanent ceasefire.  "Strangely, the Russians, the Chinese, the Taliban, the Venezuelans, when you start getting into hostage discussions, they tell the truth and they stick to what they promise. You can do a handshake deal with th...

Trades could save NFL draft lacking franchise QBs, polarizing players from being a yawner

The 2026 NFL draft needs some juice because it simply doesn't have the stirring traits that typically turn drafts into memorable moments we recall decades later. What's missing?  There aren't a lot of big-name quarterbacks on the board. Outside of presumptive No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza — and even he's skipping the party in Pittsburgh next Thursday — we aren't having a 2024 redo when a record-tying six quarterbacks were selected in the first round. There's not enough talent to fill a future Pro Football Hall of Fame induction roster. Well, nobody is predicting this will rival the 1983 draft when seven future Hall of Famers were selected in the first round and eight players from the draft ended up in Canton. There's also no compelling story that captures the imagination. There is no polarizing Shedeur Sanders in this draft. No enigmatic Randy Moss. And no Laremy Tunsil once he donned his gasmask. The expectation for multiple trades is so high that even...

Clarence Thomas warns America: liberty dies when we choose comfort over courage

Americans will hear a lot of speeches this year marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence , but it’s hard to imagine anyone topping the one Justice Clarence Thomas delivered at the University of Texas at Austin. If one is inclined to believe that the majesty of our founding documents, and the ideals enshrined therein, still resonate in the hearts of Americans, then Justice Thomas’s speech was a clarion call to conscience, a summons to the courage and clarity that animated the American Revolution. Thomas praised Dean Justin Dyer and UT’s new School of Civic Leadership, saying it was his sincere hope that their work "to revitalize the teaching and research of Western civilization and the American constitutional tradition will lead the way in the reform of our nation’s colleges and universities" — a generous note of gratitude for those who labor, often anonymously, in the vineyards of civic virtue. Thomas’s reverence for the Declaration of Independence ...

House punts Trump spy powers extension after conservatives block deal, forcing end-of-month showdown

President Donald Trump's push to extend the government's controversial warrantless surveillance powers suffered a minor setback early Friday morning after a group of conservative lawmakers rejected a compromise deal that would have extended the program for five years while incorporating some minor reforms intended to appease GOP privacy hawks. Shortly before 2 a.m. Friday, the House of Representatives approved a two-week extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), giving lawmakers until April 30 to reach a deal. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., voiced confidence that his conference can come to an agreement by the end of the month. "We were very close tonight. There's some nuances with the language and some questions that need to be answered and we'll get it done. The extension allows us the time to do that," he said. JOHNSON FACES GOP REVOLT OVER WARRANTLESS SURVEILLANCE POWERS AHEAD OF KEY VOTE The short-term FISA ext...
