Caleb Landry Jones plays the Count with a fresh melancholy streak.

The final chapter of Jesus’ earthly ministry unfolds in the third and final season of Fox Nation’s “Jesus Crown of Thorns,” as the road to the cross begins with political intrigue, prophecy and betrayal in Jerusalem.Four brand-new episodes coming to the Fox Nation platform on March 13 will focus on the pivotal final days before the crucifixion — from secret plots and mounting pressure from Rome to the Last Supper, Judas’ betrayal and the trials that sealed Jesus’ fate.Before Christ declared, “It is finished,” the world would witness betrayal by a disciple, political maneuvering by Roman and Jewish authorities and a series of events that would forever alter the course of history.Season three opens as Passover approaches and tensions rise in Jerusalem. High Priest Caiaphas and Annas quietly conspire to arrest Jesus with the help of Judas Iscariot, while Roman Governor Pontius Pilate arrives in the city for a festival — only to be met with mounting unrest.MOSES PARTS THE RED SEA — AND BREAKS THE FOURTH WALLThe tension deepens in episode two as Pilate’s wife awakes from a disturbing dream, casting an ominous shadow over the unfolding events. That sense of foreboding intensifies as Jesus gathers his disciples for the Last Supper, washes their feet, and predicts the betrayal that will soon set his fate in motion.Despite protests among them, one slips away to meet the religious leaders who will soon seal Jesus’ fate.JONATHAN ROUMIE VOWS THAT 40-DAY FAITH CHALLENGE CAN CUT THROUGH ‘THE NOISE IN THE CULTURE’The third episode, “Before the Rooster Crows,” marks the moment betrayal becomes reality, as Judas leads Temple guards to Jesus in Gethsemane, where he is arrested under the cover of darkness.After the other disciples flee, Jesus is arrested and taken to the High Priest Caiaphas’ house, where a trial unfolds before the Sanhedrin Council.The fourth and final episode, “Behold the Man,” brings the political drama to its peak. Condemned by religious leaders who lack the authority to carry out a death sentence, Jesus is brought before Pontius Pilate, who hesitates, deflects and ultimately presents the crowd with a choice that will echo through history.CLICK HERE TO JOIN FOX NATIONAs Barabbas is released and the weight of betrayal overwhelms Judas, the path to crucifixion becomes unavoidable.To watch the final episodes of “Jesus Crown of Thorns,” subscribe to Fox Nation.

One month after HGTV’s “Rehab Addict” was canceled after the show’s star Nicole Curtis was caught on video using a racial slur, the 49-year-old’s odd attempt to explain her choice of words has sparked fury online. During Tuesday’s episode of “The Breakfast Club,” Curtis — who admitted she was ready to have an “open conversation” about the incident — was challenged by hosts Charlamagne tha God and DJ Envy over her language. “Do you have boys? Boys talk about farts all the time,” Curtis, who admitted to often using the terms “fart digger” and “fart knocker,” said. “OK, again, I can’t swear on my show.

I’m not scripted.”The co-hosts called Curtis out for how “naturally” the slur came out of her mouth and questioned why she chose to come on “a Black radio show” and try to explain herself. “You’re right. I came here to have an open conversation and I didn’t have to. … I didn’t come on here to prove myself.”Curtis’ remarks ignited a wave of reactions on social media.MAN WITH TOURETTE SYNDROME ‘DEEPLY MORTIFIED’ AFTER SHOUTING RACIAL SLUR AT AWARDS SHOW”I think making dumb— excuses for why you said the N-word is worse than actually saying the N-word. Just apologize and move on,” one user wrote on X. “She’s basically saying she’s not responsible for the words that she says which is a cop-out she knows that’s a word you don’t use ever,” another wrote. However, others came to Curtis’ defense, praising her for taking accountability for her actions. “I think she’s brave for doing this actually, digging a hole and knowing it’ll make the issue more visible shows that she’s willing to be dragged and not forgiven,” one user wrote on X. “Bold enough to face more consequences.”A representative for Curtis did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERIn a video obtained by Radar Online last month, Curtis is heard blurting out the N-word while on set.

Bairon Hernandez and Richard Williams Credits: NYPD Crime Stoppers and WRBC News screenshot
An American hero in New York City is fighting for his life thanks to a lowlife who had no business being in America to start with.
As The New York Post reported, a homeless migrant from Honduras named Bairon Hernandez was arrested on Tuesday for “randomly shoving” two men onto Upper East Side subway tracks over the weekend. The incident occurred at the Lexington Avenue – 63rd Street station.
Police and witnesses said that Hernandez sneaked up behind the two men and pushed them, and then fled the scene while the pair were stranded helplessly on the tracks. Thankfully, no train arrived at that time.
The two men were later rescued and taken to New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Weill Cornell.
One of the victims was identified as 83-year-old Air Force veteran Richard Williams. According to Williams’ granddaughter, Samantha Loria, he was left with severe head fractures and brain bleeding.
“My grandpa sadly suffered multiple fractures in his body. His brain, he’s bleeding. They can’t stop the bleeding. He hit his head on the train tracks. Thank God, there wasn’t a train coming,” Loria said in a statement obtained by WTOC.
Loria revealed that Williams not only survived a fire but also recently beat cancer. Now, she fears that she will never be able to hug her grandfather again.
“The hardest part is I might not be able to hug him again,” Loria said. “He survived a fire, cancer recently, and all he wanted to do is walk. He loves to walk.”
According to reports, Williams is listed in critical condition and may need a miracle to survive the attack. One of Williams’ daughters told The New York Post that he is on a respirator at the hospital.
Williams, though, would not have had any chance at all for survival without the help of the second victim, 30-year-old Jhon Rodriguez.
He explained to CBS New York that despite his own injuries and feeling “disoriented”, he managed to pick Williams off the track with another individual assisting him.
They all made it to the platform before a train arrived.
From CBS New York:
The younger victim, Jhon Rodriguez, told CBS News New York that he captured video of the suspect who pushed him and Williams down to the tracks.
Rodriguez said Williams hit his head, started bleeding, and lost consciousness. Panicked and injured, himself, Rodriguez said he picked Williams up off the tracks and with the help of another man they both made it onto the platform before the next train arrived.
“I felt really scared. I was trembling. I felt disoriented,” Rodriguez said, speaking in Spanish.
Hernandez has been charged with attempted murder, attempted assault, assault, and reckless endangerment. Unsurprisingly, he has denied the allegations.

True Value: Looking Through The Value Rotation Illusion

Authored by Michael Lebowitz via RealInvestmentAdvice.com,

In our recent article, The Value Rotation Illusion, we explained that in the recent rotation from growth to “value”, passive investors, in actuality, are selling value stocks to buy expensive stocks. Confused? In this follow-up, we take our three-tier earnings valuation framework introduced in the article a step further to uncover true value stocks.

First, though, it’s vital to provide context for why the passive investment landscape skews stock valuations.  

Passive Investing Drives The Current

A passive investment environment is oftentimes agnostic to valuations, blurring the lines between traditional investment styles like value and growth.

Oftentimes, we associate passive investors with investing in broad market indexes such as the S&P 500 or the Nasdaq. However, passive investors also buy sector- or factor-based ETFs, such as consumer staples ETFs or large-cap growth factor ETFs. The word “passive” means they are not picking individual stocks, but it doesn’t necessarily imply their investment style is passive. A growing number of passive investors are actively trading, rotating in and out of popular narratives and themes. For more on the topic, please read our recent article Calm Market Waters Hide Fierce Undercurrents.

For instance, over the last few months, stocks in large-value ETFs have been hot, while the once-trendy mega-cap technology stocks have fallen out of favor. We can easily see this rotation in the performance differences between value and growth ETFs and sectors, as well as in the money flows into and out of the largest ETFs.

The first graph below shows the stark contrast in money flows from the Vanguard large-cap value (VTV) and the iShares large-cap growth (IVW) ETFs. The second graph shows a greater divergence between the State Street Energy ETF (XLE) and the State Street Technology ETF (XLK). The data in the graphs is courtesy of ETF.com.

The Value Rotation Narrative

The media is making quite a to-do about the exodus from “expensive” growth stocks into “cheaper” value stocks.  Yet as we showed in Part One, investors are chasing a narrative. In many cases, investors are selling value while believing they are buying it.

The value rotation narrative can be summarized as follows: Higher-beta, mega-cap growth stocks have run their course and are now expensive and risky. Therefore, the logical place to rotate to is toward the opposite, less expensive, smaller-cap, and value sectors.

Regardless of whether the narrative makes sense, it is driving the markets, the sectors, and the factors beneath them. Thus, while we can tell you all day that many value ETFs do not represent value, it doesn’t matter. The narrative will trade patterns until it fades.

However, if the narrative is not factual, it will create distortions. Therefore, active investors must appreciate the narrative and its current impact on market dynamics, but also be able to find true value stocks, for their day in the sun will come.

Traditional Screens Miss Real Value

Most value investors begin their search with quantitative screens using filters such as low P/E ratios, high dividend yields, or low price-to-book multiples. These metrics are useful starting points, but they are not conclusions. In many cases, they simply identify companies that appear cheap.

“Cheap” valuation metrics, like those mentioned above, can signal problems rather than opportunities. For example:

Earnings may be cyclical and near a peak.

The business model may be deteriorating.

Management execution may be inconsistent.

A legal, political, or structural headwind is forming.

Many screens, especially those that don’t use forward-looking estimates, cannot distinguish between undervalued and declining companies. As a result, investors often confuse statistical cheapness with genuine value.

A Forward-Looking Framework

To properly evaluate value, investors must view companies through multiple valuation lenses. Each lens answers a different question, and when the three align, value opportunities are much more likely to emerge.

The three valuation lenses are past, present, and future. Does the company have a good earnings track record? Is it currently performing at a high level? Is it expected to grow solidly in the future? Importantly, it’s not just about earnings; equally important is how the current price relates to its past, present, and potential earnings.

Past Earnings
Is the stock obviously expensive based on its earnings and cash flow over the last year or two? Metrics such as trailing P/E, free cash flow yield, and margins help answer that question.

One Year Forward Earnings

Forward estimates matter more than trailing ones, but only if they are believable. As Benjamin Graham advised:

Investors should limit analysis of the future to what can reasonably be foreseen.

Companies with predictable financial trends, durable competitive advantages, and consistent execution deserve more confidence than those dependent on optimistic assumptions, economic scenarios, or speculative growth narratives.

Growth Adjusted Valuations

As we discussed in the first part, P/E ratios and forward P/E ratios can be expensive if expected growth is expected to ramp higher. That is why we also use the PEG ratio, which compares a company’s valuation to its expected growth rate.

This third step is missing from the screening process for many investors. It is also the most difficult, as small changes in growth assumptions can dramatically alter whether a company qualifies as a value stock.

Applying The Framework

In Part One, we noted that companies like Walmart and Costco, which many investors consider tried-and-true value stocks, are not cheap. Using the three-tiered framework we detailed above, Walmart has a P/E of 46, a Forward P/E of 43, and a PEG ratio of 4.50. It is clearly expensive based on the three lenses.

To help true value investors look beyond expensive “value” stocks and find true value, we created a stock screen. The results shown below have low valuations, good earnings outlooks, and growth prospects that justify their prices. These are the companies that most closely resemble true value stocks in today’s market, but they are not without risk.

We screened for the following attributes:

Market Cap: > $5 billion

Country: USA

P/E:

Forward P/E:

PEG Ratio:

Price to Sales:

Quick Ratio

In addition to our three lenses, we added the price-to-sales ratio to further affirm value, and the quick ratio to help assess financial liquidity for the companies. Further, we removed financial stocks, as earnings-based analysis is not comparable to that of most other companies.

Why True Value Is Often Ignored

Markets are influenced by fundamentals but more so by psychology and incentives. Professional managers frequently prefer widely owned stocks because deviating from benchmarks introduces career risk. Furthermore, passive investment vehicles allocate capital according to index weightings that loosely fit the fund’s objective.  Doing so reinforces the dominance of already-popular, large companies. At the same time, the financial media often amplifies compelling narratives, drawing even more capital toward the same group of stocks.

These processes often produce a feedback loop. Popular companies attract inflows, which push prices higher, which in turn attract more inflows. Less fashionable companies experience the opposite dynamic, even when their earnings and balance sheets remain solid. Accordingly, the valuation gap between favored and ignored companies can widen significantly.

To wit, on our screen, the stocks are not big contributors to popular ETFs. For example, Phillips 66, the largest company on our screen, accounts for only 3.78% of the XLE energy ETF. Delta and United, the next-largest companies, account for 0.86% and 0.67% of the XLI industrials ETF, respectively. Those companies comprise an even smaller percentage of the largest large-cap value fund (VTV).

The Value Trap

One of the most persistent misconceptions in investing is that “cheap” stocks, like the ones we shared above, qualify as a value stock. In reality, the most dangerous category of stock is one that appears cheap but lacks the earnings power, growth potential, or poses other significant risks to justify its discounted valuation.

For example, Delta and United Airlines appear on our screen as true value stocks. But the future revenues for both companies are highly tied to the economy and jet fuel prices. Moreover, credit card rewards programs are a significant contributor to their earnings. If we forecast a recession, their estimates for double-digit earnings growth are bunk. We should also consider how the current surge in jet fuel prices will affect costs and whether they can pass them on to consumers. Further, will increased competition from non-traditional credit card companies sway users away from Visa- and MasterCard-backed airline reward credit cards?

True value requires both a reasonable price and viable earnings and earnings growth. The higher your confidence in the earnings growth of a value stock, the better your odds of success!

Summary

True value investing has never been easy. But today’s passive investment environment has made it much more difficult. For example, a growing number of value investors buy value in name only. ETFs using the word “value” attract so-called value investors. At the same time, fewer and fewer investors are truly seeking out true value stocks. The result can be a stark divergence in the fortunes of perceived value and true value stocks. Ultimately, such market behaviors create incredible opportunities, but we warn that patience is required to wait for such differences to correct.
