The horrific death of high school athlete Austin Metcalf on April 2, 2025, sent shockwaves through the Frisco, Texas, community when it happened.
So it should come as little surprise that the ongoing trial has been emotionally charged.
It’s been so charged that even the alleged murderer, Karmelo Anthony, appears to have had a visible response to footage of that tragic night.
According to the New York Post, Anthony “squirmed” and was “fidgeting” while some of the more disturbing footage from the incident was being shown.
At other points of the trial, Anthony rubbed his eyes and “quivered.” Things even got heated at one point, with the judge dismissing various people to try and keep order in the charged case.
“Holy God, holy God,” Hunter Metcalf, Austin’s twin brother, cried in prayer, as the bodycam footage showed. He was in the same tent where the incident occurred.
The grieving brother could also be heard saying: “He’s my best friend! He’s my brother! Hurry up!”
The bodycam footage came from the track and field meet, where Anthony, a student at Frisco Centennial High School, allegedly stabbed and killed Austin, a student at Frisco Memorial High School.
Anthony was apparently in the Frisco Memorial track and field team tent, and when Metcalf asked him to leave, some sort of confrontation occurred. It ultimately led to Anthony fatally stabbing Metcalf.
In June 2025, a grand jury indicted Anthony for murder.
“With the first degree murder indictment, it now goes into the court system,” Jeff Metcalf, Austin’s father, said at the time. “I fully believe that justice will be served for Austin Metcalf. I look forward to the forthcoming trial.”
“But it will never bring my son back.”
Interestingly, Anthony’s supporters had largely tried to make the case a racial issue, and framed Anthony’s actions as those of self-defense.
From Minister Dominique Alexander:
Today, we were informed by the Collin County District Attorney that Karmelo Anthony has been indicted. As many of you know, this is the first step in a criminal proceeding, and now the legal process will move forward toward trial.

“This case is yet another example of what it means to be Black in America, where even our self-defense is questioned, scrutinized, and politicized,” one prominent Anthony supporter posted.
However, according to NBC News, witnesses to the heinous act apparently told a different story.
The outlet reported that multiple witnesses actually characterized Anthony as the aggressor in the fatal incident.
Witnesses recounted that while Metcalf did push Anthony at one point, they said the latter was still the primary instigator.

Here we go again with the pompous elites and another twisted letter to derail the Trump agenda.
It’s getting old.
And… NO ONE is buying it!
The crooked elites tried this before, Remember?
After these 51 skunks were caught lying they had their security clearances revoked. They’re lucky that was all they lost!
On Friday 28 Deep State hacks released a letter declaring their hatred for Acting DNI Bill Pulte – a MAGA favorite! The American people love Bill because, like President Trump, he will fight for the people. And, that means he is not afraid to take on the Deep State.
Here is a list of the washed up hacks attempting to take down Bill Pulte.
Ryan Goodman, Chaired Professor at NYU Law, published the letter today on his X account.
Look for the fake news to eat this up – like they did the fraudulent letter by the 51 who alleged that Hunter Biden’s laptop was a Russian op.
Ryan Goodman tweeted:
Extraordinary Letter.
Points to Bill Pulte appointment as national security danger.
“The undersigned include twenty-eight former service secretaries and retired general and flag officers who
collectively served under every president from John F. Kennedy to Joseph R. Biden, Jr”
The letter goes on to say:
“The appointment of an ill-suited Acting Director could materially harm U.S. national security. Any prioritization of political considerations over strategic imperatives cedes advantage to our adversaries. So do errors of judgment arising from insufficient expertise. Our men and women in uniform rely upon the quality and integrity of intelligence gathered and analyzed by the eighteen agencies under the Director’s jurisdiction. With U.S. forces engaged in active operations abroad, there is no margin for error.”
These same numbnuts likely endorsed birdbrain Kamala Harris for president!

People often use the term “hate” rather loosely these days.
“I hate the Buffalo Bills,” or “I hate pepperoni,” or “I hate pumpkin pie” are various forms of “hate” you may hear.
The term has, frankly, lost a lot of meaning, not unlike the term “racist.”
But there’s a different, much more real sort of hate that exists out there. It’s not the sort of hate you just casually announce or throw around. It’s the sort of genuine hatred that emanates from one’s actions and words.
And it doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to figure out that “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin really does hate America for not being the far-left fever dream that she seems to want.
Just watch this latest clip, courtesy of the Media Research Center’s Associate Editor Nicholas Fondacaro, that’s making the rounds showing how festive Hostin is in the lead-up to America’s 250th birthday celebration:
Sunny Hostin, who once said she was more comfortable in Ghana than America, says she’s “embarrassed” by the country as America nears 250 and calls it a “failed experiment” in self governance:

“And so I think we have a very complicated history here,” Hostin said. “I think it’s a very complicated country.”
Honestly, had she stopped here with her Debbie Downer act, it would’ve been defensible. History is complicated. Nobody’s arguing that it isn’t.
But of course, Hostin just couldn’t help herself.
“And at this point, I am embarrassed at our government,” she said. “I’m embarrassed at our lack of health care. I’m embarrassed on the assault on the press. I’m embarrassed of our Congress. I’m embarrassed by the criminal felon president that is in the Oval Office that has a UFC cage on the White House lawn.”
Obamacare failed. Former President Joe Biden’s social media pressure about the coronavirus vaccine was worse than anything Trump may or may not have done against the press. I’ll actually give her Congress being embarrassing, since people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar are in it. “Criminal felon president” is a cute slogan, but missing crucial context. And the UFC is gnarly.
What else you got, Sunny?
“I’m embarrassed about all those things,” she droned on. “And I’m also embarrassed at how America is now seen across the globe. I don’t think that many Americans understand that we are part of a wonderful global community. And when you look at our allies, our allies are now giving us a one-star rating as a country.
“While I am conflicted about this country, because I feel that it is at this point a failed experiment, quite frankly, I am also discouraged by how this country is viewed by the rest of the world.”
Look. Is America perfect? Obviously not. No nation is.
But Hostin’s mistake is one that many leftist elitists make: confusing flaws with failure. The United States remains the most powerful, prosperous, innovative, and influential nation on Earth.
Millions of people still risk everything to come here. They don’t cross deserts, oceans, and borders because America is a “failed experiment.” They do it because, despite its imperfections, America continues to offer opportunities that much of the world simply cannot.
This is the country that defeated fascism, outlasted communism, landed men on the moon, built the modern internet, pioneered countless medical breakthroughs, and remains the backbone of the global economy.
It is, and this should be important for Hostin, a nation where citizens are free to criticize their leaders on national television without fear of imprisonment, where political power changes hands through elections rather than military coups, and where people from every race, religion, and background can build successful lives. Calling that a failure requires ignoring both history and reality.
Hostin is entitled to her opinions, of course. That’s part of what makes America exceptional.
But if the approach to the nation’s 250th birthday is to dwell exclusively on every perceived grievance while dismissing every accomplishment, then the problem isn’t patriotism. The problem is a perspective.
A country that has achieved so much, overcome so much, and still inspires so much hope around the world deserves better than to be reduced to a punchline by genuinely hateful people fortunate enough to enjoy the very freedoms and prosperity it provides.

UNITED NATIONS — When Jeff Bartos appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 2025 for his confirmation hearing, he was warned that the job he was seeking might not exist.
The Pennsylvania businessman, former political candidate and endurance athlete had been nominated by President Donald Trump to serve as U.S. ambassador for United Nations Management and Reform — a title that has long sounded aspirational in a building famous for bureaucracy.
During his confirmation hearing, Bartos recalled being greeted with a dose of skepticism.
"UN reform? That's an oxymoron if I've ever heard one," lawmakers told him.
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION COULD LEAD TO BUDGET CUTS, LEADERSHIP SHAKEUP AT UN
Less than a year later, Bartos believes the impossible is beginning to happen.
In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, the Trump administration official laid out an ambitious campaign to reshape an institution critics say has become bloated, inefficient and increasingly disconnected from its founding mission.
The effort comes at a pivotal moment for the United Nations. The stakes extend well beyond budgets. As the U.N. confronts a cash crunch, prepares to choose its next secretary-general and faces growing scrutiny from the administration, the debate over reform has become a battle over the institution's future: whether it remains on its current course or undergoes its most significant restructuring in decades.
UN FACES SEVERE CASH CRISIS AS TRUMP ADMIN RAMPS UP PRESSURE ON WORLD BODY
Secretary-General António Guterres has repeatedly warned of a growing liquidity crisis as the organization struggles with delayed member-state payments, including billions owed by the United States. At the same time, the Trump administration has made clear that future funding and support will be increasingly tied to reforms.
Bartos argues that pressure is already producing results.
Sitting at the U.N. headquarters, he points to what he calls historic achievements: roughly $570 million cut from the U.N.'s regular budget and 2,900 positions eliminated through negotiations among all 193 member states.
"Again, never happened before in 80 years," Bartos said.
"$570 million cut to the regular budget, approximately 3,000 posts cut. Unanimity. That's by consensus. All 193 countries had to come together."
For Bartos, the achievement is particularly striking because many diplomats viewed meaningful reform as impossible.
AMBASSADOR MIKE WALTZ LAYS OUT ‘AMERICA FIRST’ VISION FOR US LEADERSHIP AT THE UN
"I promised you we wouldn't let you down," he recalled telling Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Jim Risch months after his confirmation.
The reforms represent only what Bartos describes as a "down payment." The next phase is already underway.
As member states negotiate peacekeeping budgets for the coming year, the administration is pushing to reduce spending, streamline missions and eliminate programs it believes no longer serve their intended purpose.
One example, Bartos said, involves changing how the U.N. reimburses countries that contribute equipment to peacekeeping missions.
Previously, reimbursement was largely based on whether equipment was present.
"The methodology that the U.N. used to reimburse troop-contributing countries for equipment was: 'Is it there?'" Bartos said.
The United States pushed for a simple change: "You get reimbursed when the equipment is put into action to do work."
The reform could save roughly $30 million annually, according to U.S. estimates.
For Bartos, however, the dollar figure matters less than what it represents.
"It's a culture change," he said. "Being efficient, being respectful of every dollar, thinking about the taxpayers who fund all this."
That mindset is driving the administration's next major targets: employee compensation and pensions.
Bartos argues that the U.N.'s pension system and benefits structure consume resources that could otherwise be directed toward humanitarian operations.
Not everyone at the United Nations agrees with Bartos' assessment. U.N. officials argue that many of the reforms predate the Trump administration and were already being pursued under Secretary-General António Guterres.
"From day one, the Secretary-General has been committed to reforms," U.N. spokesman Stéphane Dujarric told Fox News Digital and added, "A few days ago, on 28 May, the Secretary-General told Member States that they need to act on structural reform, saying, "Genuine reform requires tough choices. This is no time for complacency, self-interest, or foot-dragging."
The UN80 initiative is Guterres' flagship reform effort, aimed at cutting duplication, reviewing mandates and making the UN system more efficient.
Still, Bartos argues the pace and scope of reform changed dramatically once the United States began applying pressure through budget negotiations and funding discussions.
"The U.N. is at a decision point," Bartos told Fox News Digital.
The debate comes as the organization faces mounting financial pressure. Dujarric said Guterres remains deeply concerned about ongoing liquidity challenges caused by delayed payments from member states, including the United States.
"Unlike a government, the U.N. cannot borrow or print money," Dujarric said, warning that the organization is expected to execute programs with funds it has not received while also returning unused funds at the end of the year.
Earlier in 2026, Guterres urged member states either to pay their assessed contributions in full and on time or overhaul the U.N.'s financial rules to prevent what he described as the risk of financial collapse.
The reforms are unfolding as the U.N. begins preparing for one of the most consequential transitions in years: the search for a successor to Guterres, whose term expires at the end of 2026.
According to Bartos, reform has become a central topic in discussions with prospective candidates.
The administration hopes the next secretary-general will embrace efforts to reduce bureaucracy and return the institution to what Bartos repeatedly describes as a "back-to-basics" approach.
The challenge, he acknowledges, is enormous.
Yet Bartos insists the experience has prepared him in unexpected ways.
Before entering government, he completed two Ironman triathlons while balancing work and family life.
"It's discipline, planning, prioritization," he said. "It's not dissimilar to budget negotiations."
The comparison may sound unusual, but it reflects how Bartos views the job: not as a sprint, but as an endurance race requiring patience, persistence and long-term thinking.
The mission also carries a personal dimension.
TRUMP REMOVES US FROM UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL, BANS UNRWA FUNDING
After two unsuccessful statewide campaigns in Pennsylvania — first as the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor in 2018 and later as a candidate in the state's 2022 Republican Senate primary — Bartos said he had largely stepped away from politics before returning to public service following the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks on Israel.
Bartos recalled his wife urging him to get involved: "You've spent your life working on these issues. You need to do something."
He ultimately joined efforts to help elect Trump and later accepted the U.N. role.
Now, after tackling what many considered the first impossible mission — reforming the United Nations — Bartos is preparing for what may prove an even harder challenge.
Bartos said he was recently tasked by U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz with helping lead efforts to combat what the administration views as entrenched anti-Israel bias across the U.N. system, including agencies, special rapporteurs and investigative bodies.
The debate intensified following the publication of the U.N. secretary-general's annual report on conflict-related sexual violence, which added Israeli security forces to the report's blacklist of parties credibly suspected of patterns of sexual violence in armed conflict. Israel rejected the allegations and announced it would suspend engagement with Secretary-General António Guterres' office.
ISRAEL ACCUSES UN OF PLACING IT ON SAME SEXUAL VIOLENCE BLACKLIST AS HAMAS TERRORISTS, SEVERS TIES
Responding to the report, Waltz told Fox News Digital that the UN has failed to address what he described as a longstanding pattern of institutional antisemitism.
"The U.N. was built in the wake of World War II and the Holocaust, and yet, remarkably, it continues to be weaponized against the Jewish people and Israel," Waltz said. "Whether it's a U.N. official regularly referencing Israel as a 'stain on humanity' and attacking American companies for doing business with Israel, or reports that spread misinformation and propaganda, this antisemitism is completely unacceptable."
"It's been over a year since the secretary general signed off on an 'action plan' to fight antisemitism at the institution — it would be nice if the institution actually used it," he added.
Bartos argues that anti-Israel bias has become embedded across multiple U.N. bodies and says the administration is working to dismantle what he calls that infrastructure through diplomacy, funding decisions and engagement with the next generation of U.N. leadership.
"There is not a day that goes by that we're not working on that," Bartos said.
The United Nations rejects accusations that it has ignored antisemitism within its ranks.
Dujarric told Fox News Digital that the secretary-general launched a formal Action Plan to Combat Antisemitism in January 2025 aimed at tracking antisemitism within U.N. structures and evaluating whether the organization's policies and actions are effectively addressing the problem.
Dujarric also disputed suggestions that Guterres directly controls some of the U.N. bodies most frequently criticized by Israel and its supporters.
"The U.N. mechanisms that you allude to, including human rights mechanisms, are created by and accountable to Member States," Dujarric said. "The Secretary-General has no authority over them."
"It is very important for Member States to actively engage in these mechanisms if they have concerns about their content and tone," he added.
"The U.N. is at a decision point," Bartos concluded.
Whether the institution changes enough to satisfy its largest financial contributor remains one of the most consequential questions facing the organization — and the man charged with answering it insists the work is only beginning.

Mediaite Editor-in-Chief Joe DePaolo wrote an op-ed this week telling “60 Minutes” staffers to stop complaining about recent changes at CBS and get back to work.
His piece began with praise for CBS’ flagship news program, but the tone quickly changed to one of tough love: “Shut up, quit crying and go to work.”
DePaolo’s article was in response to recent firings and departures, which left some staffers so upset that they openly cried and had emotional outbursts.
Former CNN reporter and “Status” founder Oliver Darcy covered the staff changes last week, and it reads like an obituary.
He interviewed various employees who were upset at CBS Editor-in-Chief Bari Wess and owner Larry Ellison for shaking things up to restore public trust.
“Tears flowed openly in the newsroom,” Darcy wrote. “Staffers exchanged texts expressing not only heartbreak, but genuine anger at Weiss and Ellison for upending a program they treasure.”
“They’re gutting us,” one staffer lamented. “It’s over. I don’t see how ‘60’ will be able to function after this.”
DePaolo’s response? “Tough. Deal with it.”
In addition to the firing of Scott Pelly — who challenged Weiss’ authority and threw a tantrum after he was terminated — multiple correspondents and producers were either let go or didn’t have their contracts renewed.
“See, at this point, it’s not really about whether CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss is ‘murdering’ the storied newsmagazine, as newly-fired correspondent Scott Pelley claimed,” DePaolo wrote. “It’s about whether those still around at ‘60 Minutes’ really want to be part of its demise. Because if they really want to save ‘60 Minutes,’ they need to do the exact opposite of what Scott Pelley did.”
He accused Pelley of “grandstanding in front of his colleagues,” adding that it “accomplished nothing.”
“It didn’t change one iota of public sentiment,” the story continued. “If, three days ago, you believed Bari Weiss was taking a wrecking ball to ’60 Minutes’ on behalf of corporate bosses trying to curry favor with President Donald Trump, you still believe that. If you didn’t, Pelley did absolutely nothing to convince you.”
DePaolo said Pelley should have been more professional and stuck around to improve the show, rather than “cut and run.”
Additionally, he went after Pelley for bragging about his wartime coverage, saying that the correspondent has never “been in combat,” despite his claims to the contrary.
The opinion piece also slammed the CBS staffers who complained about their work, citing “millions upon millions of Americans” who “go to work at jobs they don’t love, for bosses they don’t agree with. Doesn’t matter how clueless they think the leadership might be. They grit their teeth, roll up their sleeves and punch the clock. It’s the ‘60 Minutes’ staff’s turn to do the same.”
Perhaps most surprisingly, DePaolo said Weiss critics must “admit they haven’t really given her a fair shake” regarding her attempts to revive the network’s news division.
He did, however, write that even if Weiss is acting in bad faith, the worst thing staffers can do is complain or quit.
“The old guard obviously sees themselves as the heroes of the ‘60 Minutes’ story,” DePaolo concluded. “If that’s true, then now is the moment when they prove it. Heroes don’t run from an obstacle, even — and especially — when that obstacle seems insurmountable. Heroes dig in and overcome those obstacles. And it makes for a heck of a story when they do.”
These comments come after rumors circulated about podcaster Joe Rogan replacing Pelley, or stepping in for outgoing correspondent Anderson Cooper.
CBS News spokesperson Jeremy Adler told Forbes, however, that these rumors are “false.”
