Bryson DeChambeau is putting together a solid season at LIV Golf, and is looking to carry some of that momentum into the Masters this week in search of the first green jacket of his career.

DeChambeau is second in the LIV Golf standings behind Jon Rahm. But he enters Augusta National with back-to-back wins in Singapore and South Africa. As he heads into the first major of the golf season, DeChambeau is carrying something new in his bag.

He will use a 5-iron made with a 3D printer. It’s a club he built himself.

"There's this nature that I have about myself where innovation is a habit of mine, and I really find and take pride in that ability to learn — even through failure, even through making a bad decision or a good decision — what I can get from that," he told ESPN.

"We'll see where it goes. We'll see where it takes me. All I could say now is, if I don't put them in the bag, it's my fault now."

DeChambeau had manufacturing deals with LA Golf and Cobra. According to ESPN, his deal with Cobra ended in February.

Tinkering with his clubs isn’t a new strategy for DeChambeau. He said he had been tinkering with the idea of building his own clubs for a few years and tried a new wedge as he won in South Africa.

BRYSON DECHAMBEAU TALKS RYDER CUP, SQUASHING RIVALRIES WITH PGA PLAYERS AND LACK OF RESOLUTION WITH LIV

DeChambeau has had progressively better finishes at Augusta National since he made his first appearance in 2019. Since missing the cut in 2023, he finished tied for sixth in 2024 and tied for fifth in 2025. He missed the cut in 2022 and 2023.

"I feel like my game’s in the best place of its career, outside of maybe Greenbrier (in 2023) when I shot 58," he said. "I’m excited to get the week going and see where I can put myself."

He said his recent performances at the Masters were attributed to a more measured approach.

"More patience, like not as aggressive all the time. Knowing where to be aggressive and when not to be aggressive," he said. "Making better decisions, having a caddie that reins me in sometimes."

The son of a former top-level Iranian official, who acted as the spokesperson for hostage takers occupying Tehran's U.S. Embassy in 1979, is yet another relative of Iran's hard-lined Islamist regime caught living a comfortable and affluent Western lifestyle in Los Angeles. 

Petitioners have been calling for Eissa Hashemi, 43, to be investigated and deported, arguing it is unfair for the relatives of these Iranian leaders to enjoy the freedom and privileges afforded to people in the West, and more particularly in the United States, while their government in Iran continues to oppress and restrict its people from exercising rights seen as basic within America.

In addition to Hashemi, the niece and grandniece of the late Iranian terror mastermind Qasem Soleimani, have also been living comfortably in Los Angeles until recently, when they were taken into custody by federal immigration officials and had their green cards taken away by the State Department. Sheila Nazarian, who fled Iran as a child, slammed the late-terror leader's relatives for posting photos on social media of themselves in bikinis, on yachts, next to helicopters, and wearing other clothing that otherwise could get them killed in Iran.

Fox News Digital obtained photos of Hashemi at what the New York Post described as a "fancy" gym in Los Angeles, during which he reportedly brushed off a reporter's questions. Hashemi is the son of Masoumeh Ebtekar, dubbed by the American media as "Screaming Mary" amid her role acting as the spokesperson for the hostage takers who captured more than 50 American hostages at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 where they were held captive for over a year.

Ebtekar also served in a formal role as Vice President of Women and Family Affairs in Iran between 2017 and 2021. PBS's Frontline dubbed her "one of the highest-ranking women in the Muslim world" during an interview with the Muslim leader in 2002. 

Meanwhile, Ebtekar's son appears to be living in the Los Angeles area while holding down a job as an adjunct psychology professor at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. 

According to the U.S.-funded Radio Free Europe, his now-deleted LinkedIn page previously indicated in 2015 that he was a doctoral student at the Los Angeles branch of the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. 

The outlet also indicated that his wife, Maryam Tahmasebi, also had her home listed in Los Angeles on her social media profiles, and added that the information had been confirmed through an anonymous source that Radio Free Liberty described as an "acquaintance" to the couple. A spokesperson identifying themselves as the administrator of Massumeh Ebtekar's web pages reportedly indicated the couple made a "personal decision" to study abroad after completing their master's programs in Iran.

The outlet also recounted a 2008 interview Hashemi conducted.

IRANIAN REGIME RELATIVES LIVING LARGE IN US AMID CONFLICT

"In an interview published in 2008, Hashemi provided a rare window into his views on the hostage crisis, saying he got a grasp of the reasons behind it after reading a book his mother published in Canada," the outlet reported, adding a quote from Hashemi's interview about his view on the hostage crisis his mom played a pivotal role in: "When mother's book was translated from English, I understood the issue fully," he said, according to PBS at the time. "The students then had a big move, an important cause."

According to the New York Post, people have been protesting against Hashemi living in the United States for months. There are several petitions registered on Change.org calling on him to be investigated and deported, some of which have been put under review by the petition website, according to a Fox News Digital review of recent petitions on Change.org

The Post added that records show Hashemi is residing in Agoura Hills, inside Los Angeles County, with his fellow psychology professor wife Maryam Tahmasebi.

"The presence of these families often feels like a slap in the face to those advocating for freedom and justice in Iran. It is time to address this issue by taking a firm stance against hosting the families of those involved with a government that does not align with U.S. values," one of the remaining petitions on Change.org states. "A concrete and actionable solution would be for immigration and Homeland Security officials to review and, where necessary, revoke visas or residency permits for families of officials complicit in human rights violations. This scrutiny would demonstrate the U.S.'s commitment to human rights and ensure its policies are consistent with its values."

Colorado's tourism slogan, "it's our nature," has a menacing meaning for free speech advocates. Colorado is now arguably the most anti-free speech state in the union, pushing an array of measures attacking those with opposing social and political views. The irony is that the state has proved a bonanza for free speech with spectacular legal failures that reaffirmed rather than restricted the First Amendment. Now, the Democratic legislature and governor are back with new unconstitutional measures, including a requirement that lawyers not share information with federal immigration officials as a condition for filing with state courts.

Colorado legislators and judges have spent years attacking core free speech and associational rights. In the last election, the state attempted to strip President Donald Trump from the ballot with the support of a majority of its Democratic-controlled state supreme court. (The effort was later declared unconstitutional in a unanimous decision by the Supreme Court. Colorado could not even get any of the liberal justices to support its actions).

The state is responsible for the efforts to force business owners to create products celebrating same-sex marriages. That effort led to the Masterpiece Cake Shop case and then the 303 Creative case. Even after losing earlier efforts against Masterpiece Cake Shop owner Jack Phillips, the targeting of its owner continued for years. That litigation proved to be a tremendous victory for free speech.

Colorado has also been leading the fight to limit the speech and associational rights of professionals and parents on "conversion therapy." Recently, that effort led to another massive loss before the Supreme Court in Chiles v. Salazar, resulting in a resounding 8-1 rejection of Colorado's position. It could only secure the vote of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

KAGAN TURNS ON LIBERAL ALLY JACKSON WITH FOOTNOTE JAB OVER FREE SPEECH

After that near-unanimous ruling against the state, Colorado responded by doubling down with legislation to expose any counselors engaged in conversion therapy to heightened legal liability, including waiving any statute of limitations. That case could also result in legal challenges as Colorado continues to spend a fortune on seeking to curtail free speech rights.

Now, the state is defending a new public accommodation law, HB 25-1312, that defines "gender expression" to include "chosen name" and "how an individual chooses to be addressed."

As in past Colorado cases, the state secured favorable rulings from district court judges. President Joe Biden-nominated U.S. District Judge Regina Rodriguez refused to grant a preliminary injunction against the Colorado public accommodation law.

COLORADO HOUSE ADVANCES CONVERSION THERAPY LAWSUIT BILL; GOP LAWMAKER CALLS IT ‘SLAP IN THE FACE’ TO SCOTUS

The Alliance Defending Freedom is appealing the matter to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit on behalf of its clients, XX-XY Athletics and Born Again Used Books. Other appeals are also being brought in the matter.

At the same time, the state has moved forward on Senate Bill 25-276, which imposes a threshold condition for state e-filings that requires lawyers to certify annually "under penalty of perjury," that they will not use "personal identifying information" from the system to help federal immigration enforcement.

The provision is vague on critical points in seeking to bar any information that might identify an individual or cooperating or assisting in federal enforcement. While the rule allows for compliance with federal law and court orders, it leaves considerable ambiguity on the scope of the rule.

JONATHAN TURLEY: WHY BLUE STATES' NEW ANTI-ICE LAWS ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL VIRTUE SIGNALING

It is common for courts to consider specific motions to seal certain information, but such motions must state a legal basis for such withholding of information in a given case.

Lawyers have already objected to the compelled endorsement of the state's anti-ICE policies as a condition to their representing their clients, as well as a bar on cooperating with federal authorities.

The law will likely face an immediate challenge not only from lawyers and clients but also from the federal government.

JONATHAN TURLEY: JUSTICE JACKSON'S 'CHILES' DISSENT REVEALS NARROW VIEW OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Denver Gazette investigative columnist Jimmy Sengenberger has been covering the story on limiting what is considered a public resource.

The Colorado Judicial Branch's page on the law previously posted a statement that "In September 2025, some users may have briefly seen a certification requirement appear in the system." It noted that the Judicial Department elected to take it down "for further internal and external discussion regarding the implementation of the new statutory requirements." However, it announced implementation in March.

It stated that the condition would apply to any "third party" with access to the system – "certain attorneys, LLPs, and, in certain case types, pro se litigants" with access to information that is not "available to the public online, in person, or through a records request."

It added, "We recognize that some people may be frustrated by the requirements of this new legislation," but insisted that the "judiciary is required to comply with the laws as enacted by the legislature and has worked hard to make the process as easy as possible."

In my view, the law is facially unconstitutional and should be struck down. Regardless of the outcome on these challenges, Colorado appears hellbent on maintaining its dubious status as the most anti-free speech state in the union. Citizens will continue to subsidize this effort to defend laws compelling or censoring speech.

Colorado's record is reminiscent of other blue jurisdictions like New York, Illinois and Washington, D.C. in creating precedent in support of gun rights. In passing flagrantly unconstitutional gun control legislation, these Democratic legislators and governors proved a windfall for gun rights advocates in triggering a series of major Second Amendment victories, including New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen and Heller v. District of Columbia.

Colorado appears to be working to create the same legacy on the First Amendment. The state motto, "Nil Sine Numine" (Nothing without Providence), is fitting. For free speech advocates, Colorado has proven positively a godsend in its string of losses in seeking to gut the First Amendment.

How does someone — even a military hero with prodigious physical prowess and training — manage to survive approximately 36 to 48 hours in the mountainous terrain of southwestern Iran, likely without food and with little water?

How does such a person live with the high chance of having sustained leg fractures or other lower-extremity injuries from being ejected from a plane traveling at high velocity?

And how do Navy SEALs, Air Force Special Operations, Army Special Operations Aviation, search and rescue, and combat medics, flanked by 150 aircraft, possibly find him? As CIA Director John Ratcliffe said, it is like finding "a grain of sand in the desert."

The answer is a combination of great skill on the part of the rescuers, God’s presence, the airman’s deep faith, and the body’s survival mechanism, known as the "fight-or-flight" response.

‘GOD IS GOOD’: INSIDE THE HIGH-RISK US MISSION TO SAVE A WOUNDED AIRMAN SHOT DOWN IN IRAN

In the end, SEAL Team Six commandos extracted the officer, and he was taken first to a U.S. military medical facility in Kuwait, where he will receive high-level care, including wound management, hydration, nourishment and any orthopedic interventions needed. He will no doubt recover — a clear-cut medical miracle.

This weapon systems officer, an Air Force colonel with survival and evasion training, reportedly climbed 7,000 feet up a ridge and remained hidden there for nearly 48 hours in a mountain crevice.

President Trump, during a press briefing on Monday, said that the airman "scaled cliff faces, bleeding rather profusely, treated his own wounds."

TRUMP CALLS RESCUE OF DOWNED AIR FORCE PILOT AN 'EASTER MIRACLE'

During his time on the mountain, he could have used bandages and tourniquets to help stop the flow of blood, but he would also have soon needed water to replace the lost fluids. He is reportedly a man of deep spiritual faith, which clearly helped him to survive, and when he finally made radio contact, he sent the message, "God is good."

He was spotted by the CIA with a camera from 40 miles away. According to the president, "They kept the camera on him for 45 minutes. He wasn't moving. And they said, ‘You know, probably wrong, but we're seeing something moving.’  This is a vast mountain, vast, thick with bushes, trees. ‘We see something moving 40 miles away.’ It was the head of a human being," the president shared. "’I'm telling you, it's moving.’ And then all of a sudden, 45 minutes later, he moved a lot, stood up, and they said, 'We have him.’"

As Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said at the press conference with President Trump, "in that moment of isolation and danger, his faith and fighting spirit shone through."

INSIDE THE DARING RESCUE OF AIRMAN BEHIND ENEMY LINES: HOW CIA ASSISTED WITH 'DECEPTION CAMPAIGN'

It is unclear whether the downed airman received help from local residents who are opposed to the Iranian regime or if he toughed it out on his own, but either way, his survival constitutes a faith-driven medical miracle.

The way human physiology responds to threat clearly played an essential role. At a time like this, the body kicks into fight-or-flight mode, also known as an acute stress response, with an outpouring of stress hormones — epinephrine, norepinephrine and cortisol.

Here’s what happens: The heart rate, blood pressure and rate of breathing increase. There is a release of energy as the body shunts blood toward the muscles and away from the skin. The person feels increased alertness, and all the senses are heightened, which creates a survival advantage.

Though a person can go several days without food, water is essential for organ function, and dehydration can quickly lead to organ failure, especially in the presence of ongoing bleeding.

It is unknown how much water the downed colonel had, but it was unlikely to be sufficient for someone with substantial injuries.

Survival under these circumstances is clearly a medical miracle. The team that rescued him are angels sent by God. As further details are released in the coming days, they will provide the exact narrative by which God, great military prowess and personal fortitude all came together.

Clearly, the colonel’s spirit to survive overcame both the enormous physical challenges and the looming danger he faced inside Iran.

As conflict in the Middle East raises fears of new shocks to global oil markets, one lesson should already be clear: the United States needs as much reliable energy production as it can get.

Artificial intelligence, massive data centers, advanced manufacturing and the electrification of industry are driving electricity demand sharply upward. According to analysis from Cleanview, nearly 680 data centers are currently planned in the United States, requiring electricity equivalent to roughly 186 large nuclear reactors. The nation that can generate abundant electricity at reasonable cost will have a decisive advantage in the technological competition with China, which is rapidly expanding its own energy infrastructure.

President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans are beginning to align America’s energy policy with this strategic reality. They are restoring a simple principle that Washington had largely forgotten: Energy demand should dictate energy policy.

In recent years, driven by climate ideology, federal policy moved in the opposite direction. The Biden administration tried to engineer the nation’s energy system through mandates, regulations and subsidies favoring specific technologies, rather than asking how much electricity the country would need and how best to produce it.

WHAT TRUMP'S RATEPAYER PROTECTION PLEDGE MEANS FOR YOU

The results were predictable. Electricity costs rose, permitting slowed and concerns about grid reliability grew. At precisely the moment the United States needed to expand energy production, federal policy made it harder to build new power generation. In a world where geopolitical shocks — from Iran to Russia — can disrupt energy markets overnight, limiting domestic supply is a strategic mistake.

We are now reversing this approach by focusing on the conditions that allow every reliable domestic energy source to expand. The Trump administration has moved aggressively to expand domestic oil and natural gas production and directed agencies to prioritize permitting for power infrastructure and streamline environmental reviews.

Trump also instructed the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Department of Energy to accelerate licensing and demonstration projects for next-generation nuclear reactors, particularly small modular nuclear reactors — factory-built units designed to be deployed faster and at lower cost than traditional reactors.

TRUMP DIRECTS MILITARY TO STRIKE NEW DEALS WITH COAL-FIRED POWER PLANTS: ‘GOING TO BE BUYING A LOT OF COAL’

The most significant policy shift, however, may come from the Working Families Tax Cut Act, which Republicans in Congress passed, and the president signed on July 4. Rather than creating new subsidies for specific power sources, the law improves the tax treatment of capital investment across the economy. By restoring 100% bonus depreciation, companies can deduct the full cost of major investments immediately.

This dramatically improves the economics of building new facilities — factories and industrial plants and the power generation and grid infrastructure needed to support them. Companies building large data centers can more easily justify investing in the electricity generation needed for their operations. Several major developers recently joined Trump at the White House to pledge they would cover the cost of the electricity needed for their facilities so local communities would not bear the burden of rising demand.

The same policies encourage companies to build manufacturing capacity, including facilities that produce components for energy systems. That matters because the United States has become heavily dependent on foreign supply chains, particularly Chinese manufacturing, for many energy technologies. A tax environment that rewards domestic production is one of the most effective ways to reverse this dependence.

TRUMP TROUNCES BIDEN ENERGY RECORDS IN JUST MONTHS AS ADMIN CELEBRATES 1 YEAR OF 'HISTORIC GAINS': DATA

Expanding domestic energy production also strengthens national security. America’s abundant natural gas resources already provide a reliable foundation for affordable electricity, and growth in nuclear and domestic solar manufacturing can further reduce the nation’s vulnerability to foreign disruption.

Critics argue the Working Families Tax Cut Act is hostile to renewable energy because it rolls back many mandates and subsidies created by the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act. But this misreads the policy change. The law simply shifts to a source-neutral approach that depoliticizes energy generation. We should let the market decide the best path for powering our future — not give preferential treatment to some sources over others.  This means supporting traditional power sources, nuclear energy, wind generation, hydroelectric dams, solar power, and battery storage technology — all of the above.

In fact, renewable energy is well positioned to grow in this environment. The Energy Information Administration projects that most new generation coming online soon will be solar installations — a reflection of deployment speed and construction costs rather than political mandates. When electricity demand rises quickly, developers naturally gravitate toward technologies that can be deployed fastest while larger projects move forward.

The stakes could not be higher. Leadership in artificial intelligence will depend on software and semiconductors — and enormous amounts of electricity. China understands this and is building energy infrastructure at a staggering pace. The United States must respond with the same urgency but with a better model.

Instead of dictating the nation’s energy mix from Washington, policymakers should focus on encouraging investment, expanding supply and protecting consumers from rising electricity costs. The emerging approach under President Trump and congressional Republicans moves in that direction by allowing something far more reliable than ideology to guide the system: demand for electricity itself.

In an era defined by rising electricity demand and volatile global energy markets, the most effective energy policy is the simplest one. Let demand lead — and let American innovation deliver the supply.

In a move sure to spark more 2028 speculation, former Vice President Kamala Harris will appear next week at a major Democratic Party cattle call in this preseason for the next White House race.

Harris will speak on Friday in New York City at the National Action Network’s 35th Anniversary Convention.

The gathering, hosted by the civil rights organization's founder, the Rev. Al Sharpton, will give the former vice president and other potential Democratic presidential contenders appearing at the confab an opportunity to speak directly to an influential gathering of Black leaders and activists who are key players among the party's base.

It's the latest sign that where Harris is going, and what she's saying and doing, is increasingly generating buzz that the Democratic Party's 2024 presidential nominee is on a likely glidepath toward another White House bid in 2028.

KAMALA HARRIS: OUT OF OFFICE BUT BACK ONLINE

"Of course we are reading tea leaves," a veteran strategist in the former vice president's political orbit told Fox News Digital.

The strategist, who asked to remain anonymous to speak more freely, emphasized that "the only signal that is very clear is that she is going to continue to be an incredibly important fighting force and voice for Democrats and for the country."

Harris was mostly out of the headlines for a couple of months after the end of former President Joe Biden's administration early last year. But she started stepping back into the political spotlight last spring and summer, including headlining Democratic National Committee fundraisers.

HARRIS, NEWSOM, STIR 2028 SPECULATION AT MAJOR DEMOCRATIC PARTY MEETING

Her strategic decision last summer to pass on launching a 2026 gubernatorial campaign in her home state of California was seen as a clearing of the runway for a 2028 presidential bid. And her nationwide book tour for her memoir on her abbreviated 2024 campaign, when she succeeded Biden as the Democrats' standard-bearer, has helped keep her very visible while building up her email lists and boosting donor interest.

With her six-month book tour coming to a close, Harris, who made history as the first female and first Black vice president in the nation's history, is set to make a swing through the South later this month. Her stops to help state parties fundraise include South Carolina, a key early-voting primary state in the Democrats' presidential nominating calendar, as well as the key general election battlegrounds of Georgia and North Carolina. Harris narrowly lost both states and the five other key battlegrounds to President Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

"Kamala Harris continues to be an incredibly inspiring force within the Democratic Party, especially among women, among Black voters and voters of color," the strategist in her political circle emphasized.

Harris has also been getting more involved on the campaign trail, recording ads for the Democratic National Committee and for the Virginia Democrats with early voting underway in the state's April 21 congressional redistricting referendum.

After endorsing Rep. Jasmine Crockett in last month's Democratic Senate primary in Texas, Harris reached out to the nomination winner, state Rep. James Talarico. She's also talked to other winners in last month's primaries.

HARRIS RIPPED BY THE RIGHT OVER TRUMP IRAN WAR SPEECH PRE-BUTTAL

Harris has also been increasingly critical of President Donald Trump's military strikes on Iran.

"He brought America into a war that people don’t want, he has put American troops in harm’s way, costs are rising by the day, and, meanwhile, he has done nothing to address the needs of the people of America," the former vice president argued in a social media video posted ahead of Trump's primetime address to the nation last week.

Harris' comments quickly ignited a sharp rebuke from conservatives on social media.

Among those responding was Rep. Tom Emmer of Minnesota, the House Republican majority leader.

"It’s pretty disgraceful for you to claim President Trump has done nothing to meet the needs of the American people," Emmer posted on X. "Here’s the truth: He’s cleaning up the chaos YOU caused here in the United States and across the globe, and is making America great again."

The reaction from Republicans is a sign that it's not only Democrats who see Harris as a potential leading contender for the 2028 nomination.

Looking ahead, the strategist stressed that "no one knows what she is planning to do for 2028, but until she tells us herself, she is going to continue to travel, speak up about the issues she cares about the most, and the tremendous damage that Trump and this administration are doing to this country and how Democrats are going to continue to fight back."
