Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acd08c775342cf4db8f47ed James Hahn trades PGA Tour spot for assistant coaching gig with ASU men’s team te 2026-10-12T16:20:23.398Z James Hahn trades PGA Tour spot for assistant coaching gig with ASU men’s team PHOENIX – When Thomas Sutton left the ASU’s men’s golf program in the summer of 2026 to become the golf coach at the University of Washington, Sun Devils coach Matt Thurmond quickly tabbed PGA golfer Richard Lee as his potential replacement. Thurmond had coached Lee during Thurmond’s tenure (2001 to 2016) at the University of Washington. “I know he knows golf, I know he’s a really high-character person, I know he’s fun to be around, I know he’s got great golf experience,” Thurmond said. “I know he’s a guy that has the golf credentials where this group, the best amateur golfers in the world, will respect. They know he knows.” Unfortunately for Thurmond, and despite all those accolades, the timing wasn’t right for Lee. “That was a tough phone call to make back to Thurmond,” Lee said. “I just had too many other commitments. The chapter of my life that I’m in right now was just too hard for me to pick up and make a career change, but I think coach Thurmond reached out to me because he respects my experience as a former player and I’m heavily involved in coaching myself.” Thurmond also respects Lee’s opinion, so when Lee recommended two-time PGA Tour winner James Hahn, the Sun Devils made the hiring official on Sept. 22. “We hang up the phone, and I’m literally in the kitchen with my wife,” Lee said. “I’m like, ‘I told Thurmond I can’t do it, but he understood. He asked me if I had anyone in mind.’ My wife actually goes ‘Hey, how about James?’ And I’m like, ‘Oh yeah! How about James?’ Then a light bulb went (on) and I immediately was like, ‘I think this could be a match.’” After two decades of fully focusing on his professional career, the stars aligned for Hahn to take his first coaching position where he hopes to develop the next generation of golfers. Thurmond now views Hahn as a no-brainer, and given the approach that Thurmond takes with his program, Hahn’s duties will be substantial. “I would say historically over the years at ASU, it’s been kind of two head coaches from a roles perspective,” Thurmond said. “With James, I think he can do everything, but we might have him focus a little bit more initially on just the coaching golf side.” As the hiring process began, Hahn’s initial conversation with Lee was a bit confusing. “I initially thought he was asking me for advice on whether or not he should do it,” Hahn said. “So I was all in on him, like that’s a great opportunity. ASU men’s golf is an elite program in the country, and I was more encouraging him to do it.” Hahn said he was surprised when Lee made it clear he was trying to recommend Hahn for the position instead.  “I’d be a hypocrite to not think seriously about the job because of how much I talked it up,” Hahn said. “It quickly jumped (from), ‘Man, I’m so happy for you that you would even consider it,’ but now it switched to, ‘Man, I feel so grateful to have that opportunity.’ To this day I’m still grateful that Richard thought of me.” Thurmond trusted Lee’s suggestion, but he still needed Hahn to go through the vetting process. “Richard was a player on my team; he knows how I coach and what it feels like on the team,” Thurmond said. “He would not recommend someone that wouldn’t fit with me and fit with how I run the program.” Thurmond and Hahn had an hour-long talk and Thurmond said he immediately knew that Hahn was the guy, but he still had to let him tour the facility and meet the players. “The truth is, it’s been 20-plus years since I was a really good golfer playing at a high level,” Thurmond said. “I’ve coached all these guys since, so I can probably share some things with James about that side of it, but he has been in the arena. He held the club on the 18 hole. He has stood on the first tee with a big crowd. His experience is current and relevant, probably more than mine, and the guys know that.” Before establishing himself on the PGA Tour, Hahn spent years grinding through the lower circuits, earning two wins on the Canadian Tour and one on the Web.com Tour. Hahn joined the PGA Tour in 2013 and won both the 2015 Northern Trust Open and the 2016 Wells Fargo Championship. In his time on the tour he has racked up about $12.9 million in prize money. He also went viral during his rookie season at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. After draining a long birdie putt on the famous 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale, he celebrated with PSY’s “Gangnam Style” dance. Hahn was an immediate hit with ASU’s players. Thurmond said some Sun Devil golfers even asked for Hahn’s autograph when he was introduced to the team. “It’s honestly pretty unique,” senior Connor Williams said. “Given that he played the PGA Tour for 15 or so years, and he kind of went through the whole cycle of what I would like to do in my career and am getting close to really doing here, so I think it’s a really cool opportunity to have a guy like that who knows the pressure, who knows kind of what we’re going through.” Williams said he and his fellow Sun Devil golfers have already felt they can lean on Hahn’s warmth, expertise and guidance, which is one of the main reasons Hahn took the position. “Without naming names, there were some coaches in my life that did the exact opposite,” Hahn said. “They pushed me away from the game. They made it difficult for me throughout my junior and college career – making me not want to be part of the team.” Hahn said he feels a great responsibility to lift up his current players, not only during their collegiate careers, but for their futures. “The immediate goal obviously would be to win tournaments here in college,” Hahn said. “But the ultimate goal is to get them ready to win on the PGA Tour and win majors on the PGA Tour. To sum it up in a nutshell, I want them to know that there’s a great opportunity in golf, that if they make the right decisions that they could have the life that they want. “I’m kind of setting the stones up for further success for sure because these guys are only here for four to five years. I want the impact that the coaching staff has on them in these four to five years to last the next 20.” Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acd08ba75342cf4db8f47bf Idaho professor falsely accused of student murders by TikTok psychic reveals fear for children's safety te 2026-10-12T16:20:10.374Z Idaho professor falsely accused of student murders by TikTok psychic reveals fear for children's safety The University of Idaho historian who successfully sued a Texas TikTok psychic who had accused her, without evidence, of involvement in the murders of four students there has revealed fears for her children's safety — including sleepless nights standing guard as they slept — and other consequences of the ordeal in a new op-ed. Rebecca Scofield, 41, first became aware of Ashley Guillard's unfounded videos on Thanksgiving, less than two weeks after the murders. Court documents provide a raw account of what she went through. "I went and laid in my son's bed because his bedroom is the closest to an entrance to our house," she testified at trial. "And I was so afraid for him, so I just sat there at the end of his bed all night and watched him." PARENTS OF IDAHO MASSACRE VICTIM FACE DAILY NIGHTMARE WHILE DEMANDING DEATH PENALTY AFTER SHOCK PLEA TWIST Things got worse as time dragged on and Guillard posted more videos, she wrote Monday in a New York Times op-ed. "Over the next several weeks, while I was grieving with the rest of my community, this TikTok influencer uploaded over a hundred videos declaring that I had committed a quadruple homicide," she wrote. "The videos got millions of views. I was overwhelmed with calls, messages, comments and emails, many of which were disturbing or threatening. And I could have been anyone." GOT A TIP? She had trouble sleeping and found herself patrolling the hallway outside of her children's rooms at night instead. She stopped going to class and taught students remotely. While she hunkered down at home, she felt exposed there at the same time. Guillard's claims continued even after Scofield's lawyers sent her a cease-and-desist order, after Moscow police publicly stated the professor was not a suspect — and even after police arrested Bryan Kohberger in connection with the crimes. JONATHAN TURLEY: SOCIAL MEDIA ADDICTION WILL EASILY OUTLAST META'S MASSIVE MULTIBILLION-DOLLAR SETTLEMENT "I was not hit by a bus or punched in the face," Scofield wrote. "Yet I saw up close how the online world can come to feel more real than the physical one. Even after the actual murderer was arrested and convicted, the accusations against me continued. And even though these outrageous claims were made online by someone I had never met, they were amplified by unsuspecting viewers and algorithm-driven platforms, and the harm seeped into every aspect of my life." Scofield is also warning that social media giants face little accountability while amplifying potentially defamatory or damaging claims. "We can try to hold platforms accountable for the harmful content they spread," Scofield wrote. "A federal law, Section 230, protects online platforms from many defamation lawsuits, meaning that only individuals are liable for misinformation, even if a platform helped spread it. Proposals that would reform Section 230 range from adding exceptions for extreme cases to revoking immunity for social media companies altogether. If the companies making billions of dollars off these platforms won’t protect us, what other recourse do we have?" FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X "We can sue," she added, and "we can also share our stories." She did both, with a federal jury awarding her $10 million in her defamation lawsuit against Guillard, a 41-year-old from Houston who had repeatedly posted videos about Scofield online, claiming she'd directed the murders and was having an extramarital same-sex affair with one of the victims, while providing no evidence. Guillard has appealed to the Ninth Circuit. SIGN UP TO GET THE LATEST TRUE CRIME NEWS "I came to realize that all of us are responsible for the online world we inhabit, and all of us must fight its tendency to propagate lies," Scofield wrote. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FROM THE FOX TRUE CRIME HUB As part of her warning, she recounted that technological advances in communication throughout history have had huge impacts on the world, citing the effect of the printing press on Christianity and claiming that "the radio helped fuel the rise of fascism across the U.S. and Europe." "Digital platforms rewrite our reality in a much more profound way," she wrote. "It takes a long time to uncover the truth through historical analysis, and even then, it’s often at best partial. Social media destroys that process. Even though many content creators hold themselves to high standards of research, they are not professionally beholden to official codes of conduct or review."

Clinton was asked about how she would address Democrats who feel that their vote doesn't matter during the event. The former 2016 Democratic presidential candidate said that these people likely feel like no one in elected office cares about them and suggested they felt this way due to a series of hard times over the years. "And you could kind of understand that, for people who feel like they've had a series of hard times. If you look back on the last 25 years in our country, I was a senator from New York on 9/11. That was a trauma. The terrible financial crisis of 2008 was horrific for people. We had an election in 2016 that, you know, raised a lot of questions that we're still trying to find answers for about what, what kind of really went on, and then we had COVID," she told the crowd of Democrats. She continued, "So if you're somebody who is saying, does it really matter that I vote because I'm not sure I matter to the people that I'm asked to vote for? What we have to do is demonstrate as clearly as possible and then repeat over and over again, you do matter, and we're going to do everything we can to try to help you have the life you deserve to have." HILLARY CLINTON HAMMERS JOE BIDEN FOR 2024 REELECTION BID DESPITE SUPPORTING CAMPAIGN: 'TERRIBLE MISTAKE' Clinton argued that Americans still need to work hard and do their part, but, "We're not going to allow your hard work to continue to be undervalued and overwhelmed by the advantages that are going to the people at the very top." The former Secretary of State said she was excited about the Democrats "winning in November" and argued that the Democrats need to prove that they can produce results for Americans. "What's most important is what are you going to do with those majorities? How are you going to show people that you're actually producing results that are going to affect their lives?" she said, before criticizing President Donald Trump and arguing his messaging tactics are worn out. "I think that's kind of worn out. I think what originally seemed like, 'Oh, he's a different kind of leader. He says what he thinks.' All of that, I think that is beginning to finally sink through to people like, 'Wait a minute, am I better off? Has my life improved?' I look at other people, especially those who are doing really, really well, and they seem to be enjoying a lot of access to the president. And even the president has made a lot of money, which is so unprecedented," she said. The Republican National Committee (RNC) told Fox News Digital that Clinton was in no position to offer help to Americans.  "Just like Democrat Dan Osborn will never be a senator, Hillary Clinton will never be president, and she's in no position to help Americans escape Democrats' delusional America-last policies she's spearheaded over the last 20 years," RNC National Press Secretary Natalie Baldassarre said.  KARINE JEAN-PIERRE ADMITS BIDEN ADMIN FAILED ON ECONOMIC, AGE MESSAGING, BUT CLAIMS TRUMP MAKING SAME MISTAKE MINNESOTA REPUBLICANS REVEAL WHICH FAR-LEFT CANDIDATE THEY WANT TO CHALLENGE IN OPEN SENATE RACE Clinton made her first endorsement of a U.S. Senate candidate in the 2026 midterm elections on Thursday, backing Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan. "Minnesota, you have an opportunity to select an extraordinary person and public servant as your next U.S. senator. Please take it!" Clinton wrote in a post on the social media platform Bluesky when sharing a post in which Flanagan touted Clinton's endorsement. Flanagan declared in her post, "@hillaryclinton.bsky.social has spent five decades fighting for working families, dedicating her career to making the case that every child in this country deserves a fair shot. I’m honored to have Secretary Clinton’s support, and I’ll proudly carry on her fight in the US Senate." Clinton was also asked by an audience member about what she would have done differently over the course of her political career. "I would have not just won the popular vote but the Electoral College," she responded.

The push for abolishing the Electoral College, which was instituted in 1787, has gained increased support in some corners of the left, especially after Clinton’s 2016 loss to Trump.  Though Clinton won the national popular vote, Trump secured several key swing states that gave him the Electoral College edge, sending him to the White House.

That's typically how things work in a one-point game decided in overtime, but it's safe to say one play in the first half will be sticking with LSU head coach Lane Kiffin for quite some time. With three seconds remaining in the second quarter and the ball on the LSU one-yard line, Kentucky was faced with a decision to make: kick the field goal and tie the game at 17, or grab hold of the momentum with a touchdown. Kentucky head coach Will Stein opted for the latter option, and Wildcats quarterback Kenny Minchey punched it into the end zone at the end of the half, but it wasn't without controversy. The LSU defense appeared to stop Minchey at the goal line as the rugby-like scrum came to a stop, but a second effort by the Kentucky offensive line eventually pushed the quarterback across the goal line. It was one of those instances in which the officials could have blown the play dead before the runner was down, but instead, there was no whistle, and the Wildcats were awarded a touchdown. LANE KIFFIN IS STARING DOWN DISASTROUS YEAR ONE AS OFFSEASON PLEAS FOR PATIENCE FALL ON DEAF EARS During a Sunday press conference, Kiffin was asked about the specific play at the end of the opening half, and claimed that the line judge told him "he would have been killed" if he blew the play dead. "The line judge just said that, in that situation, there was too much at stake," Kiffin explained. "He said he would have been killed if he had blown the whistle for the play being stopped, even though it appeared to be stopped. "My complaint is that you can’t refuse to blow the whistle because it’s such a big play. If you would have blown that whistle on first down, or with 10 minutes left in the game, for forward progress being stopped, then blow it for protection and for the way the ruling is supposed to work. Don’t not blow it because it’s such a big play. The rules are the rules." WILL STEIN'S DAD STORMS THE FIELD AFTER KENTUCKY'S UPSET WIN OVER LSU IN BEAUTIFUL COLLEGE FOOTBALL SCENE Officials opting to keep their whistles in their pockets before halftime wasn't the only controversial moment of Saturday's thriller at Kentucky. After LSU scored with ease to begin overtime, Kentucky answered back with a score of its own before opting to go for two and win the game.

During the Wildcats' first attempt on the two-point conversion, a Kentucky player appeared to flinch, and while a flag was thrown, it was negated by a timeout called by the Wildcats.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acd040775342cf4db8f4477 College football’s mega rosters aren’t delivering a return on investment as LSU, Texas A&M and Oregon prove te 2026-10-12T16:00:07.339Z College football’s mega rosters aren’t delivering a return on investment as LSU, Texas A&M and Oregon prove If you were looking for chaos in college football, this past weekend provided plenty of examples of teams that have sent their fan bases into panic mode, while donors freak out after millions of dollars were spent assembling rosters. We watched Lane Kiffin get escorted through a swarm of Kentucky fans who stormed the field after the Wildcats pulled off an overtime upset against an LSU team that was one of the biggest stories of the offseason, thanks in part to their self-indulgence. KIRBY SMART HAS ENTERED HIS MOST DANGEROUS ERA AFTER GEORGIA'S AGGRESSIVE WIN OVER ALABAMA: THE FAMILY TALES Just hours earlier, Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko decided it was smart to go after one of the biggest team-centric websites in all college football, because it's obviously TexAgs' fault that the Aggies head coach has fumbled a roster littered with expensive pieces. Then there was the Red River Rivalry, which delivered one of the most shocking games of the season. Oklahoma knocked off No. 1 Texas on a last-second field goal, forcing Longhorn fans to reevaluate their expectations over the next two months. And then, it's the story of UCLA going into Eugene and dissecting the Oregon Ducks, behind the incredible coaching job Bob Chesney has done this season with the Bruins that have them undefeated and ranked No. 15 in the latest polls. What do all of these outcomes from Saturday have in common? Money can't buy you heart, or even cohesiveness, when you finally spot the ball. If LSU fans have to hear the word patience one more time from their head coach, Lane Kiffin, the fan base is going to combust with two months left in the regular season. And no, playing an additional conference game is not the reason why some teams are dealing with the injury bug, even if Kiffin wants to awkwardly joke about why his squad is fighting through a tumultuous time. LANE KIFFIN IS STARING DOWN DISASTROUS YEAR ONE AS OFFSEASON PLEAS FOR PATIENCE FALL ON DEAF EARS The Tigers were beaten by Kentucky this past weekend because this squad doesn’t know how to finish games, or get fooled by the highlights that Sam Leavitt creates on an occasional basis. LSU spent over $100 million on a coaching change that saw Kiffin bolt from Ole Miss with the attitude that he was going to immediately build a roster capable of fighting for a CFP title this season, and the school had zero problems flaunting it. WILL STEIN'S DAD STORMS THE FIELD AFTER KENTUCKY'S UPSET WIN OVER LSU IN BEAUTIFUL COLLEGE FOOTBALL SCENE In reality, the steam is starting to rise out of the overcooked gumbo, and the preseason chatter from within Baton Rouge is starting to look like an overcooked crawfish. You cannot ask for patience from an LSU fan base that has done everything asked of them over the past six years, and that included sitting through the final years of Brian Kelly. This is a football team that spent over $45 million on its roster, and already has two losses on the season, with the latest coming against first-year Kentucky head coach Will Stein. There is no time for patience, as Kiffin is finding out just over one month into the regular season. So, Texas A&M, floundering once again has finally caught up with their head coach, and it came during one of the more awkward press conferences we've seen from a team out of College Station, and that's saying something. Remember how many times I've written about donors of the Aggies program receiving a return on investment for the amount of money contributed to helping build a roster outside of what the actual school spends? After their third loss of the season, once again in lopsided fashion, Texas A&M fans are officially hitting the panic button. It wasn’t even close this past weekend, as Missouri thumped the Aggies 27-6. SEC FILES BOMBSHELL LAWSUIT AGAINST LSU, LANE KIFFIN AND TIGERS ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT And, since we are living in a world of "win now" based off the transfer portal and the amount of money being spent on rosters, Aggie fans are not in the mood to hear about 'building' with quarterback Marcel Reed and this expensive football team. It's one thing when you're losing games in dramatic fashion, like what transpired with the Texas Longhorns against Oklahoma. But, the Aggies have been destroyed, and it's not the fault of their loyal fans, a majority of which subscribe to TexAgs.com on a monthly basis. But Mike Elko, when asked about what he would say to the fans who are upset with the Aggies disastrous 1-3 SEC record, decided it would be smart to call out site-owner Billy Lucci. MIKE ELKO CALLS OUT TEXAS A&M FANS WHO ARE PART OF MASSIVE WEBSITE AS AGGIES SPIRAL AFTER ANOTHER HUMILIATING LOSS If you aren’t familiar with Lucci, the man built one of the largest websites in college sports that also hosts a plethora of influential donors on its website message boards in support of Texas A&M athletics. "There’s a difference to me between the fan base and social media, and so there’s one group that I really don’t care much about. Billy [Liucci’s] cesspool can go be Billy’s cesspool," Elko profoundly mentioned. "Our fan base: Stay with us. Be behind us. "We’re going to build something. That’s what we told you we were going to build. We’re in a really bad spot right now, but we’ll work our way out of it," Going after one of the most influential voices in college athletics' is not the smartest decision, especially when a majority of the fan base subscribes to this website, and is also beyond agitated with results in 2026. Good luck with that, Mike. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Let me be clear: just because the Oregon head coach is saying all of the right things does not make this any easier for the fans. It surely doesn’t make mega-booster and Nike owner, Phil Knight, any less upset with the current results. But right now, Oregon finds itself with two losses on the season and the latest came without Dante Moore who was still recovering from a concussion. Even then, the story shifted from the Ducks potential Big Ten title run, to Bob Chesney having UCLA looking like the Bruins of old in one of the best stories we've seen this season. The Ducks find themselves fighting an uphill battle, and cannot afford another loss with a roster that is worth well-north of $40 million. And if we're being honest, this looks like a team bound for an eight-win season, which is another prime example of no return on investment during this chaotic time in college athletics. As for the Texas Longhorns, someone finally made them pay for the mistakes. Sure, it's surprising that Oklahoma was the team that handed them their first loss of the season. But if you've really been paying attention to this Texas squad, you'd realize that if Ohio State could’ve finished the job in Austin, and Tennessee had an offensive pulse outside of its running game, this could’ve actually been Texas' third loss of the season. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE For all the headlines that Arch Manning garners, with the the talk of him being a top-10 pick or the second-coming of one of his uncles, the quarterback has had an average season thus far. He's not a bust, or however one outlet decided to characterize him at one point last season. Manning is just a good college quarterback, with a lot to get better at. He's not great. Maybe one day he will be. Right now, he's just an average quarterback that threw two interceptions against Oklahoma, with one returned for a touchdown. For Texas, it can rely on its defense to get them through games, and maybe steal a few in the process (Tennessee). But unless Steve Sarkisian comes up with a number of different looks, or hands over play-calling duty, this team is bound to catch another loss, or two. You are witnessing one of the more chaotic opening months to a college football season in recent memory. In the midst of it all, there are a number of very rich boosters across college football who are wondering what they are getting for the millions of dollars spent to help their favorite team have success. We tried to warn you about that return on investment in college athletics. It's non-existent unless your team is hoisting the CFP trophy at seasons end.

Both were on full display on Sunday during, and then after, the Jets' victory over the Cleveland Browns that ended a three-game losing skid for the Jets and ended a three-game win streak for the Browns. Davis shared afterward that during the Jets' chapel service on Saturday one of the verses shared was Proverbs 13:12. "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life." CLEVELAND BROWNS PLAYERS PUBLICLY BAPTIZED AT CLEVELAND FOR CHRIST EVENT IN POWERFUL DISPLAY OF FAITH Davis saw his team, its game against the Browns, and even what fans and people face every day, in that verse. "I would go as far as to say this was a historic win for this organization," Davis said. "When you talk about a team that's coming in that has won three games, that type of momentum in this league is very hard to get and it makes it very strong and feels insurmountable at times. "And you're talking about a [Jets] team that was 0-3 or had lost the last 3 games. And when you're going through that type of adversity, it can weigh on you. It can weigh on you emotionally. it can weigh on your faith, it can weigh on your belief. "And it can weigh on an organization that has historically been disappointed." Jets fans in the congregation shout amen. Jets 17. Browns 12. "We get the chance to experience that tree of life, which is victorious," Davis said. "And the reason why that word is so important is because football is the greatest teacher of life. I'll always say that." But, you see, the message Davis had from the Bible verse wasn't written for the NFL. It may include situations in the NFL, but Davis understands it applies to everyone. THE NFL IS AMERICA'S MOST GOD-CENTERED PROFESSIONAL SPORTS LEAGUE AND SUNDAY'S GAMES CONTINUED TO PROVE IT "Right now, people are fans of the game and watch the game, but they have life happening," he said. "It could be a relationship. It could be a job. It could be something going on with the kids. It could be something that's strange. And when you go through adversity, you want to give up. "Sometimes you want to give up before you even start – before you even try. Like, I've been going through this in my relationship, I don't I don't even want to try anymore. I've been going through this in my job. I just got let go or I don't know how I'm going to make ends meet. And you just want to give up." But here's where perseverance pays off – at the tree of life. "God wants you to know that when the enemy wants you to quit when he's making your heart sick, when you're going through hard times, man, if you just get to the other side, it's a tree of life," Davis said. "And that's what I want this opportunity to represent is, just keep going for somebody who's going through a hard time, somebody who's going through something, man.

"It could be a relationship that you said you were going to let go and and y'all had some beef, a family member or something. Just reach out one more time. Just do something, keep doing the little things and you watch it process for you." That persistence, Davis implored, will get you to the goal, to the tree of life. "Once you get to that that dream, that dream is fulfilled," Davis said in closing. "It's a tree of life. And that immense joy that comes from it, the same way that adversity was weighing you down, that joy lifts you up."

This was a solid week in terms of betting and in terms of the games overall. It would be nice to close this one out on a solid note with a win in tonight’s game. This is definitely the matchup of the week as we get a potential Super Bowl preview of the Bills taking on the Rams. The Buffalo Bills are coming off of their first loss of the season. They dropped a home game to the New England Patriots for the second straight year. It wasn’t a blowout or anything; the Bills just barely lost the game. They opened the season on the road against the Texans and won 36-31. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! The past three weeks have been home games. They took down the Lions and then beat the Chargers in the two weeks prior to the match with New England. As is usually the case with the Bills, Josh Allen is what makes the entire team work. On offense, he is responsible for 13 of their 16 offensive touchdowns. He has seven rushing touchdowns in four games this season. Allen has run the ball 33 times already this season, and it feels like he might be more dangerous when he is running than when he is passing the ball. Coming into this week, the Rams are one of the best passing defenses in football, but the running defense is slightly worse. THESE 6 NFL TEAMS ARE FIRMLY IN THE SUPER BOWL BUBBLE THROUGH WEEK 4 Most of the story around the Rams will be about how Los Angeles added key pieces to the defense last year. The offense was already humming with MVP Matthew Stafford under center, and they upgraded the other side of the ball. This was a team that was really the only one to give the Super Bowl Seahawks a game from last season’s playoffs. Expectations were high for this team, and still are despite Myles Garrett being injured. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE It has been a mixed bag of results for the Rams. The season opener was an absolutely brutal performance against a 49ers team that looks like the best team in football. So, let’s throw that out. They beat the Giants the following week, 28-6. That game saw Jaxon Dart get injured as well. They had one win and one loss that were a bit of outliers. They faced the Broncos and Eagles in the past two games. They let the Broncos game slip through their grasp. They came back against the Eagles. What I’m getting at here is that this team is overly inconsistent and hard to judge. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER In this game, the first instinct is to take the over because both the Bills and Rams are viewed as offensive teams. Buffalo has a bottom-half rushing defense. They also have one of the worst passing defenses in football. I like Davante Adams in the game to score a touchdown and for some player props. For the game, I’ll take the Rams -3. Maybe it is just that I like them at home, but I think their defense and a working offense will do enough to stop Allen and the Bills.

I am not sure that it always works out, but there are some times when it does. This feels like a series that is more of a formality than anything. The Guardians and the Rays are playing in the American League Championship Series, and this just feels like the Guardians will be significantly overmatched. The Guardians have won three straight games, and that’s how they got into this series in the first place. They lost two games in a row to the White Sox, then they found a way to break the bats out in Games 3 and 4 in Chicago. That forced a Game 5 back in Cleveland, where their pitching was lights out and the hitting did just enough for them to secure a victory. It just feels like they aren’t nearly as good of a team as the Rays. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Monday night, they are sending out Foster Griffin to the mound. I would like to go on the record to say I thought Griffin should’ve been given a start in the Chicago series. For whatever reason, he wasn’t. He only pitched in Game 3 and allowed one earned run over 2.2 innings and struck out seven hitters. Griffin did not start that game. He is now on full rest facing the Rays to open the series. He did not face the Rays at all this season, but has faced two Rays hitters in his career, striking out Jonathan Aranda and walking Taylor Walls. GUARDIANS COMPLETE ALDS COMEBACK OVER WHITE SOX, STRIKE OUT RECORD 21 BATTERS TO SET UP DATE WITH RAYS The Tampa Bay Rays were the best team in the American League this season, and they looked like it in the Division Series against the Yankees. When they needed to stifle the Yankees’ bats, they did. When they needed a big hit, they got it. They took advantage of the defensive miscues and swept away New York. Game 2 was where the Rays found the way to make it work against a lot of questionable plays from New York. They got a major hit in Game 3. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE In Game 1, it wasn’t either of those things; it was a masterpiece thrown by tonight’s starter, Drew Rasmussen. How good was his first game? He went eight innings, walked two hitters, allowed one hit, and struck out 10 hitters without allowing a run. His season was fantastic, ending with a 16-5 record, 2.67 ERA, and a 0.91 WHIP. He faced the Guardians twice this season. On the road, he went five innings and allowed two earned runs on six hits. At home, he allowed one hit and one walk over seven scoreless frames. Not only in this series, but in this game, I think the Guardians have no chance. Sure, there could be the rest vs. rust factor. There could be a game here from the Rays where they just can’t get a hit. However, Rasmussen is a true Ace and gives the Rays a major advantage. Griffin could be a very good starter and give the Guardians a chance. I just don’t see it here. Give me the Rays on the run line. The moneyline is too juicy for me to take and I think Tampa will win by two or more.

I’m sure most think whoever escapes the National League Championship Series will end up as the winner. I’m not quite sure I fit that description. I think it is possible the Rays, and maybe to a lesser extent the Guardians, could beat either of these teams, but the NL will likely have the favorite in the World Series. The Los Angeles Dodgers got to the postseason by being one of the best teams in baseball and winning the National League West. They built their team by adding pieces each year. This year in the offseason, they added a closer and the best hitter available. During the season, they added Tarik Skubal, the best pitcher potentially on the planet, and he pitched yesterday. The Dodgers have won two straight World Series and are looking for a third. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! They have a great chance to win tonight given that they are sending out last year’s World Series MVP. Yoshinobu Yamamoto seems to be one of the best postseason pitchers out there. This year he made one start, going 1-0, allowing four hits and one earned run over seven innings. He struck out 10 Braves in the 3-1 win for the Dodgers. Since he joined the Dodgers, he has pitched in 11 postseason games and the Dodgers have won 10 of them. He’s allowed 15 earned runs in 63 innings. LOS ANGELES DODGERS ARE BACK IN THE NLCS FOR THIRD STRAIGHT SEASON AFTER WIN OVER ATLANTA BRAVES The Milwaukee Brewers have gotten here without the big additions that the Dodgers get. They are a solid team that has actually traded away or let players walk that were major contributors. It hasn’t mattered; they just keep winning. This year, the team feels much more confident. The players look ready and locked in. Will that mean they can finally overcome the Dodgers? Honestly, it is hard to say. No one really matches up well with the Dodgers, but the Brewers have home field advantage, solid hitting, and a good pitching staff. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE The Brewers are sending out their second-best arm to the mound today. Logan Henderson takes the ball, and he went 11-3 in the regular season with a 2.47 ERA and a 0.84 WHIP. He pitched against the Padres and allowed one earned run over five innings on two hits and three walks. He faced the Dodgers twice this year, allowing just one earned run on five hits over 12 innings of work. He struck out 13 hitters in those two games as well. In Game 1, the Dodgers struck first, but despite hitting the ball well and getting runners on base, they couldn't get more than one run. The Brewers tied the game on a home run. Then later, they got a walk, bunted, and singled home a run. That was all the scoring in the game, and it gave Milwaukee a win in the first game. I was actually encouraged by the Dodgers' bats - they didn't get the hits when needed, but they had traffic on the bases and weren't completely reliant on homers. With Yamamoto on the mound, I'm taking the Dodgers tonight.

The backlash against data centers has become a flashpoint in state and federal races across the country. (Photo by Nathan Howard/Getty Images) In the course of a single election cycle, the backlash against data centers has grown from an issue at local planning commission and city council meetings to become a flashpoint in state and federal races across the country. Candidates who once touted data centers as an economic boon have backtracked, and voters in at least three dozen cities, counties and townships will consider ballot measures in November that could ban data centers in their communities. Analysts say the opposition to data centers has come from Republican and Democratic voters alike. “The people are speaking, and they’re speaking in one voice in opposition to this infrastructure,” said Tatishe Nteta, provost professor of political science at UMass Amherst. “It is not something that people desire in any shape, form or fashion. This potentially could be the issue that gives you the status of a former member of a city council or a former member of Congress.” Last month, UMass Amherst published a poll, directed by Nteta, showing that only 11% of Americans would support the construction of an artificial intelligence data center in their local community. The poll found that 65% of respondents oppose the construction of such facilities. Local and national activists have a long list of grievances against data centers, which tech companies are aggressively building to provide the computing power for artificial intelligence platforms. The rapid buildout of data centers is expected to strain the electrical grid and drive up energy costs, some forecasts show. Opponents are also concerned about the facilities’ pollution, water use, noise and conversion of farmland and other open spaces. Many developers are also building private, “behind-the-meter” natural gas plants to power their data centers, increasing concerns about emissions and public health. Some activists also object to the artificial intelligence technologies the sites will power, which threaten to disrupt the economy, replace workers, erode critical thinking skills and mental health and even — according to some tech executives — potentially kill all humans. “For so many years, Ohio rolled out the red carpet to become a tech hub,” said Nick Owens, an attorney with Conserve Ohio, a campaign seeking to block data center development. “Unfortunately, what we’ve become is a tech dump.” Anger at both parties Activists across the country have lashed out at elected officials from both parties who have offered state and local tax breaks in order to entice data center developers. They’ve also called out local officials for negotiating deals behind closed doors and signing non-disclosure agreements with large tech companies. “The politicians are chasing the grassroots, they aren’t leading on the issue,” said Anthony Elmo, public education defender with Good Jobs First, a policy group that tracks government subsidies related to economic development. “(Politicians) who were very pro-data center a year ago are now coming out against them due to political factors.” Tech companies have launched their own political efforts to respond to the backlash. Industry leaders argue that artificial intelligence is key to the nation’s economic competitiveness. They note that the data center boom has created many construction jobs and increased property tax revenue in communities desperate for more money. Leading the Future, a tech-backed Super PAC, has invested in federal and state campaigns in support of both Republican and Democratic candidates who support artificial intelligence. Josh Vlasto, the group’s co-leader, argued that the narrative around data centers has conflated the industry at large with its worst offenders — speculative projects that disregarded local opposition and failed to meet environmental standards. “(Voters) want the jobs in their communities, they want the revenue, but they want the risks and downsides mitigated and addressed,” he said. “There is backlash in communities that don’t want them, but if you look to the states that are building and doing it right, these data centers are being welcomed and generating a massive amount of revenue. If this is done correctly, I could see this issue turning drastically in a different direction.” An investigation earlier this year linked Leading the Future with a news website that used AI bots posing as journalists to solicit quotes for stories that promoted industry talking points. Another investigation found that a dark-money group tied to Leading the Future paid lifestyle influencers to promote artificial intelligence by highlighting the threat of competition from Chinese AI. The Data Center Coalition, a membership association for tech companies, did not respond to a Stateline interview request. Amazon, Google and OpenAI — industry leaders that have pushed for data center construction — did not respond to Stateline inquiries. Think Big, an associated PAC of Leading the Future that supports Democratic candidates, did not respond to an interview request. ‘People coming together’ Across the United States,  data centers currently use about 49 gigawatts of electricity, according to the website US Data Center Map. New projects planned or under construction total nearly 350 gigawatts — roughly a quarter of the country’s current electrical generation capacity. While data centers have long powered our online infrastructure, many of the “hyperscale” facilities being built to support artificial intelligence are much larger and use vastly more power. Ohio has become the political epicenter of the data center backlash. Like many states, Ohio agreed to sales tax exemptions for data centers in the 2010s in order to secure investment from tech companies. In recent years, the state has seen a boom in construction, with 154 operational facilities and 84 more data centers in the works — more than all but three other states. “Our attraction in Ohio was a very minimal regulatory framework, plentiful farmland and plentiful water,” said Nick Owens, the Conserve Ohio attorney. Owens, like many data center activists, became engaged on the issue when he learned that a large project was planned in his rural community in Brown County. Owens is a lifelong Republican and was a 2024 delegate for President Donald Trump, who has called data center opponents “backwards and poor.” He said politicians from city councils to the White House have failed to hear residents’ concerns. “The dysfunction and unresponsiveness of government at all levels is truly sickening and frightening,” he said. “Conversely, it’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen, people coming together across communities, putting partisan differences aside and uniting (to oppose data centers).” Conserve Ohio has worked with community activists across the state to draft ballot initiatives to ban data centers, change zoning regulations or require voter approval for large facilities. In total, Ohio municipalities will vote on 21 ballot measures related to data centers. Nationwide, 39 measures in eight states will be on the ballot this year, according to Ballotpedia. In elections earlier this year, four local ballot measures across the country were decided with overwhelming opposition to data centers. Jen Belt is the leader of Protect Grove City, an Ohio nonprofit backing a ballot measure to block development in that community. “This is the first issue that I’ve seen Grove City united in such a way,” she said. “It is red, it is blue, it is every age, it is every socioeconomic status. It kind of gives you hope.” Three communities in Kansas will vote on data center bans in November, including Ottawa, a city in the eastern portion of the state where residents have fought back against a proposed data center. Michael Lewis, with the nonprofit group Ottawa United, which has led the campaign, said locals were outraged when city commissioners announced the planned development. “Everything was negotiated without public input, it was all done behind closed doors until they brought it out and approved it,” he said. Lewis serves as vice chair of the Franklin County Democratic Party and is running for state representative. But the data center backlash has been so strong that his allies on the issue include the secretary of the Franklin County Republican Party and GOP state Rep. Rebecca Schmoe, his opponent in the general election. Issue in statewide races The issue has been a focal point of statewide races as well. U.S.  Sen. Jon Husted of Ohio, a Republican, has come under attack for championing tax breaks for data centers during his time as lieutenant governor. His Democratic opponent, former U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, has run ads calling him “the face of data centers.” Last month, the National Republican Senatorial Committee warned in a memo that data centers are “the anchor hanging around Husted’s neck,” The Washington Post reported. Husted has drafted a bill that would require state utility regulators to consider making data centers pay to cover the costs of their own electrical infrastructure needs. Senate Democrats blocked the bill last month, calling it “toothless” political messaging. In Pennsylvania, both gubernatorial candidates have distanced themselves from their previous support for data centers. Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, until recently a staunch data center advocate, issued a moratorium on new data center permits last month, amid attacks from his Democratic opponent. “Republican candidates know this is a losing issue and one that can do damage to their already questionable electoral positions,” said Nteta, the political science professor. “It’s a unique issue that brings together Americans in ways we don’t usually see.” Vlasto, with the pro-data center Super PAC, said candidates calling for statewide bans on data centers are overcorrecting. “Each community is going to make their choice,” he said. “Some communities are just not going to welcome data centers. From a political position, it doesn’t seem like preventing communities that want to build data centers is a palatable position either.” Elmo, with Good Jobs First, said even longtime data center opponents are surprised at how quickly they have become a top political issue. He said tech companies and politicians who once promoted data centers have now joined calls for “responsible” development. “This issue puts (politicians) between a rock and a hard place between the grassroots and their wealthy tech donors,” he said. “If the industry you’re trying to regulate immediately agrees with everything you’re suggesting to regulate them, I’d suggest that those regulations are not extremely effective.” Stateline reporter Alex Brown can be reached at abrown@stateline.org.

Sorkin won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay and both Fincher and Eisenberg scored nominations in their respective categories.  But 16 years later, what's been billed as a sequel to "The Social Network" only tarnishes its legacy.  DIGGER REVIEW: TOM CRUISE DESTROYS THE PLANET IN ALEJANDRO IÑÁRRITU'S GRANDIOSE, MESSY POLITICAL SATIRE For "The Social Reckoning," neither Fincher nor Eisenberg chose to return, leaving Sorkin to both write and direct the sequel that no one really asked for and cast Jeremy Strong ("Succession," "The Apprentice") as Zuckerberg.  The sequel revisits the Wall Street Journal's bombshell series of reports dubbed "The Facebook Files," spearheaded by investigative reporter Jeff Horowitz (Jeremy Allen White) and Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen (Mikey Madison).  The uncovered dirt ranged from Facebook implementing algorithms that drove its users to join hate groups to the company knowing about the toxicity of Instagram on the mental health of young girls.  Most of us can agree that social media platforms broadly, not just Facebook, have negative impacts on society, while also having benefits. What was previously reported about Facebook has been a stain on the company. And maybe that does warrant a movie.  What's disagreeable is the narrow universe Sorkin creates, one where Facebook, and only Facebook, is responsible for fomenting right-wing radicalism and that left-wing radicalism is nonexistent. ‘PRIMETIME’ REVIEW: ROBERT PATTINSON CHANNELS CHRIS HANSEN IN RIVETING DRAMATIZATION OF ‘TO CATCH A PREDATOR’ In the film, Haugen, the Facebook data scientist who made waves when she came forward in 2021, is haunted by a former friend, who she described as once being a "progressive" but has been radicalized by the platform becoming an unhinged racist. The film also blames Facebook for the spread of QAnon conspiracy theories and vaccine "lies," as well as Jan. 6.  The culminating scene of "The Social Reckoning" involves Zuckerberg and his staff rushing to their war room to watch news coverage of the Capitol riot. The rioters might as well have been waving flags that read, "Brought to you by Facebook," at least according to Sorkin.  Everyone around Zuckerberg demanded him to ban Trump from their platform. And as we all know, Zuckerberg acquiesced.   Haugen's findings, at least presented in this film, show that Facebook makes people racists. There's no mention of any sort of far-left radicalization Americans have witnessed, (or "Woke 1" as AOC recently coined) nor any mention of the Black Lives Matter riots that erupted across the country in the months leading up to Jan. 6.  Lest we forget that the COVID lockdowns truly fueled societal paranoia, there isn't any "reckoning" from Sorkin for the government officials who enforced them. For a man who prides himself on his hyper-intellectual dialogue, Sorkin finds little room for nuance.  ‘RESIDENT EVIL’ REVIEW: DIRECTOR ZACH CREGGER DELIVERS INFECTIOUS REBOOT TO GORY VIDEO GAME FRANCHISE The film's only saving grace is how it goes about Zuckerberg's stance as a free speech absolutist. Sorkin broadly portrays him as a sociopathic villain who cares about the bottom line at society's expense. But there's one scene where he's arguing with a former investor (played by Bill Burr) that Facebook is a public square and that its users don't need to be treated like children, as Burr's character deems Zuckerberg's philosophy reckless for letting falsehoods go unfettered.  It's clear Sorkin wants his audience to be on Team Burr in that particular scene, but true champions of free speech side with Zuckerberg — at least until he caves to pressure and bans Trump. "The Social Reckoning" attempts to be the "All the President's Men" of the social media era, but it lacks any emotional depth beyond its blatant appeal to partisan leftists. None of the film's three leads operate like normal human beings (to be fair, Zuckerberg's public persona has always been, well, peculiar).  Every scene between Horowitz and Haugen is full of unnaturally witty and scholarly dialogue that could've easily been borrowed from "The West Wing."  It's tiresome.  'THE DOG STARS' REVIEW: JACOB ELORDI FIGHTS FOR SURVIVAL IN RIDLEY SCOTT'S DULL POST-APOCALYPTIC WESTERN Unlike his predecessor in "The Social Network," Strong looks remotely nothing like Zuckerberg but gives a dedicated performance and, admittedly, kind of nails the voice. The Facebook chief had no involvement with either film, so it's difficult to tell where the reality ends and the fiction begins. Yet Eisenberg's Zuckerberg was far more emotionally ranging, while Strong's Zuckerberg is essentially an alien-like caricature.  There's also a stark contrast in the pure filmmaking. Without Fincher at the helm, Sorkin is left artistically rudderless despite his top-notch collaborators like Oscar-nominated cinematographer Jeff Cronenweth (who previously shot "The Social Network") and Oscar-winning composer Alexandre Desplat.  This isn't Sorkin's first time in the director's chair. There's no questioning his talents as a screenwriter, but while he has successfully found his unique voice on the page, he has yet to craft his own vision as a director.  Having rewatched "The Social Network," it's wild to think both were written by Sorkin. One is captivating, smooth, biting and tangible to the average viewer. The other is dull, disjointed, self-righteous and elitist.  CLICK HERE FOR THE LATEST MEDIA AND CULTURE NEWS "The Social Reckoning" tries to recreate the magic of its predecessor. In reality, it's leftist revisionist slop disguised as a harrowing journalist drama. It's a film that only caters to a narrow audience of coastal liberals who despise Zuckerberg/Trump and journalists who regard themselves as heroes — many happen to be both. What's unfortunate is that "The Social Reckoning" doesn't exist with the purpose of entertaining. Its purpose is to lecture.  And for that reason, Sorkin ought to log off.   "The Social Reckoning" is rated R for language. Running time: 1 hour, 52 minutes. In theaters now.

The gritty film franchise created by Taylor Sheridan is one of the best productions you can find in cinema over the past fifteen years, especially the original in 2015. It was recently confirmed that a third film is happening, but there were competing reports about whether Sheridan would be leading the way with his writing again. TAYLOR SHERIDAN RETURNS TO MOVIES AFTER FIVE YEARS WITH NASA THRILLER, POLITICAL DRAMA It turns out the answer, unfortunately, is no. Steven Knight will write the script. Brolin, who plays CIA operator Matt Graver in the franchise, is returning for the third film, along with Benicio Del Toro and Emily Blunt. Blunt did not appear in the sequel, but played a major role in the original film. Brolin recently spoke with ScreenRant about the upcoming third picture, and touched on the status of the script and writing. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER The popular actor told the outlet that the progress for the third movie is "in the notes process" and the people involved are "still working on it." The lead of the "Sicario" franchise also spoke about returning to work with Del Toro and Blunt, and he couldn't sound more excited. "We adore each other, and we've all worked together before. Benicio and I, this will be our sixth film together. It's fantastic [to work with Emily again]. I just sent her a little voice memo yesterday, and I just adore her, I adore her. I think the work right now has reached a level that's just untouchable," Brolin told ScreenRant. There is no release date for the third "Sicario" film, but you can bet it's going to be a significant amount of time before it hits theaters. Have a fun theory about what the plot might be?

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6accf5f975342cf4db8f3c42 This Michael Jordan game-worn jersey just became the most expensive piece of basketball memorabilia ever te 2026-10-12T15:00:09.163Z This Michael Jordan game-worn jersey just became the most expensive piece of basketball memorabilia ever Michael Jordan hasn't played an NBA game in more than two decades, but "His Airness" is still putting up record-breaking numbers. A game-worn, autographed Jordan jersey from the 1998 NBA Finals, the Finals featured in the hit documentary "The Last Dance," has sold for an eye-popping $14 million in a private sale, making it the most expensive piece of basketball memorabilia ever sold. Pennsylvania-based Hunt Auctions announced the blockbuster deal Monday morning, revealing that Miami real estate investor Ron Firman is the proud new owner of the iconic red Chicago Bulls jersey. WILT CHAMBERLAIN WARM-UP JACKET BOUGHT FOR $3 AT THRIFT STORE SELLS FOR TENS OF THOUSANDS MJ wore the jersey during Game 2 of the 1998 NBA Finals against the Utah Jazz on June 5, 1998, when the Bulls evened the series at 1-1. Chicago eventually captured its sixth championship in eight seasons, completing Jordan's legendary run with the franchise and further solidifying himself as the GOAT (Greatest of all Time) in my opinion. "While Michael Jordan's importance within the sports memorabilia marketplace has long been established it has now escalated to an elite asset class more typically reserved for iconic works of art," Hunt Auctions president David Hunt said. And he's not exaggerating. MICHAEL WILBON REVEALS JORDAN'S TRUE FEELINGS ABOUT LEBRON The $14 million sale ranks as the second-highest known price ever paid for a game-worn jersey across all sports. The only jersey ahead of Jordan's? Babe Ruth's famous "called shot" jersey from the 1932 World Series, which fetched an astonishing $24.12 million in 2024. But here's where things get even crazier. This is now the third Jordan jersey from the 1998 NBA Finals to sell for at least $10 million. His Game 1 jersey sold for approximately $10.1 million in 2022, while his Game 3 jersey brought in roughly $12.3 million just last month. That's more than $36 million spent on three jerseys from one championship series. DARREN ROVELL SHOWS OFF ONE HIS FAVORITE KNICKS MEMORABILIA ITEMS, WHICH INCLUDES NOTORIOUS MENENDEZ BROTHERS As for Firman, the man who just dropped eight figures on a piece of basketball history, he kept his reaction relatively simple. "Michael Jordan was an incredibly talented player who is admired around the world," Firman said. "I'm very excited about the purchase." You'd certainly hope so after spending $14 million. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE According to Hunt Auctions, the jersey was originally purchased from the Bulls by a private collector in 2003 and has changed hands only once since that initial purchase. Of course, the obsession with Jordan's final championship season doesn't stop at jerseys. In 2023, a pair of Air Jordans worn by MJ during Game 2 of those same Finals sold for $2.2 million through Sotheby's, setting a record at the time for the most expensive sneakers ever sold. Nearly 30 years after Jordan sank his iconic championship-winning shot against Utah, collectors are still willing to spend fortunes to own a piece of his legacy.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6accf39e75342cf4db8f3bd7 Zelenskyy accuses Putin of defying Trump's ceasefire push, sends pointed message to White House te 2026-10-12T14:50:06.822Z Zelenskyy accuses Putin of defying Trump's ceasefire push, sends pointed message to White House Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told Fox News on Monday that Russia continued attacking Ukraine's energy infrastructure despite President Donald Trump's announcement of what he called an immediate energy ceasefire, accusing Vladimir Putin of rejecting Washington's peace efforts and calling for greater pressure on Moscow. "We are ready today for energy ceasefire, as President Trump said. But I'm not sure that Putin is ready because even after yesterday's messages from the president about energy cease fire, Putin attacked our gas infrastructure," Zelenskyy told Bill Hemmer in a live interview on "America's Newsroom." Asked whether Ukraine would honor the ceasefire, Zelenskyy answered, "Of course," insisting that Kyiv had already refrained from striking Russian energy facilities overnight. TRUMP ANNOUNCES IMMEDIATE ENERGY CEASEFIRE BETWEEN RUSSIA AND UKRAINE "We didn't attack any energy objects on the territory of Russia because President Trump said that there will be an energy cease fire between Ukraine and Russia. And we didn't attack, but Russia attacked our gas stations, energy infrastructure, infrastructure and other things," he said. The Ukrainian leader described the attacks as Putin's response to Trump's initiative. "It was his answer to President Trump. He attacked our energy infrastructure," Zelenskyy said. "The communication from Russia was very clear that they don't know anything about energy ceasefire." Trump announced Sunday on Truth Social that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an immediate halt to attacks on energy facilities. But Moscow has not confirmed accepting such an agreement, and the precise scope of Trump's proposal remains disputed. According to Axios reporting Sunday, a White House official said the proposal initially focused on halting attacks on oil refineries, with a broader ceasefire covering power plants and electricity grids potentially following. The official acknowledged that Russia had not yet agreed. UKRAINE STRIKES DEEP INTO RUSSIA’S ARCTIC GAS HEARTLAND AS TRUMP PUSHES PUTIN TOWARD PEACE During the interview, Hemmer pressed Zelenskyy on whether Ukraine would halt attacks on Russia's extensive oil-refining network, which has become a point of contention between Washington and Kyiv amid rising global fuel prices. Zelenskyy argued that a ceasefire limited to refineries would fail to address Ukraine's greatest vulnerability: its electricity supply. "When we speak about energy ceasefire, it means only one thing: that they don't attack our energy infrastructure and we don't respond to their energy infrastructure. This is called energy ceasefire." Asked again whether Ukrainian forces would refrain from targeting Russian refineries, Zelenskyy gave a conditional commitment. "If Russia will not attack our energy, we will not attack the energy," he said. Trump has repeatedly criticized Ukraine's attacks on Russian oil refineries, arguing that they contribute to higher fuel prices. On Friday, he announced an agreement with Russia to release diesel supplies to the U.S. and global markets, a decision that drew criticism from lawmakers concerned about providing Moscow with additional revenue. Zelenskyy challenged Trump's assessment of what is driving diesel prices, pointing instead to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. "Everybody understands that the price on diesel doesn't depend on our attacks on diesel in Russia," Zelenskyy told Hemmer. "Everybody understands that it depends on the blocking of Hormuz Strait." NEW RISK FOR US CONSUMERS AS IRAN-BACKED ATTACKS THREATEN A SECOND MAJOR OIL CHOKEPOINT The interview also exposed tensions over Trump's calls for Ukraine to hold new presidential elections. Over the weekend, Trump criticized Zelenskyy and suggested Ukraine needed a new president, arguing that Kyiv had missed opportunities to reach a negotiated settlement with Russia. "If President Trump wants to change the leader in Ukraine, he has to know that only our people can change," Zelenskyy responded. The Ukrainian president said he was willing to organize an election but argued that voting remained impossible without a substantial pause in hostilities. "I'm ready for elections. Really, we need a minimum 60 days for security of infrastructure to prepare for elections," he said. Zelenskyy described continuing Russian drone and missile attacks as an immediate threat to voters. "We are speaking about thousands of drones, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, how can people vote?" he asked. "It's not even about the law. The law is very important. But we speak first of all about security." He also said he last spoke directly with Trump in New York during the U.N. General Assembly in late September. ZELENSKYY TO SEEK OFFRAMP FOR YEARS-LONG RUSSIA WAR IN UN SPEECH AFTER TRUMP REVEALS PEACE DEAL IS CLOSE The interview came after another series of Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities and residential areas. Ukraine's charge d'affaires in Washington, Denys Sienik, said Sunday that Russian forces struck a power plant in Kyiv, disrupting electricity and water supplies, before attacking a thermal power plant in Kharkiv following Trump's announcement. "In total, over the course of the week, Russia struck electricity generation and transmission facilities more than 200 times," Sienik wrote on X on Oct. 11, 2026. East2West News agency reported Monday that three civilians — a 16-year-old boy and two women, ages 19 and 51 — were killed in a strike near a grocery store in the Kharkiv region. The agency also reported that five people were wounded in an attack on a residential high-rise. In Pisochyn, a woman described witnessing the bombardment of a power plant shortly after Trump's announcement, according to East2West. "We believed the statement that they wouldn't strike energy infrastructure," she said. "Just ten minutes after that promise was made, there were already five strikes." The agency also reported a Ukrainian strike on a Russian military base in occupied Khrustalnyi, in the Luhansk region, where three large fires were reportedly visible. The damage and casualty figures could not be independently confirmed. Reuters separately reported Monday that Russia continued striking Ukrainian energy targets despite Trump's announcement, while Kyiv maintained that it had refrained from attacking Russian refineries. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, meanwhile, rejected the prospect of a 60-day ceasefire to facilitate Ukrainian elections, arguing that European countries would use the pause to replenish Ukraine's weapons supplies. "I don't think he deserves a respite," Lavrov said Monday, according to the BBC. UKRAINE'S ATTACKS ON RUSSIA ARE PUSHING PUTIN CLOSER TO NEGOTIATING TABLE, TRUMP NATO AMBASSADOR SAYS The latest developments have intensified scrutiny of Trump's decision to ease restrictions on Russian diesel, which critics argue could provide Moscow with additional revenue while it continues its military campaign. Carrie Filipetti, executive director of the Vandenberg Coalition and a former deputy assistant secretary of state during Trump's first administration, questioned whether the arrangement would undermine U.S. leverage over Putin. "Both Russia and Ukraine seemed surprised by the announcement of an energy ceasefire, and unsurprisingly, Russia has continued to attack Ukrainian energy facilities - reportedly as recently as a few hours ago," Filipetti told Fox News Digital. "Putin probably hopes the new diesel deal - which directly undermines recent US legislation calling for an increase in tariffs and sanctions against Russian energy - will discourage President Trump from holding Putin accountable for these continued violations and attacks." Filipetti argued that Russian energy revenue remains a critical source of financing for Moscow's war effort. "If we want a real ceasefire, paying directly for Putin's war machine through this new diesel deal is not the way to do it," she said. "President Trump's goal of a ceasefire could be a real win - but it's only going to happen if we stop the diesel deal." Morgan Murphy, former head of public diplomacy for the Special Presidential Envoy to Russia and Ukraine, offered a different assessment, defending Trump's efforts to secure a negotiated settlement. "President Trump has consistently prodded both sides toward the only realistic outcome—negotiation," Murphy told Fox News Digital. "Both sides are losing right now: Ukraine doesn’t have the combat power to retake seized land, and Russia is destroying its future demographics with every passing day." Murphy argued that prolonging the fighting would only deepen the human toll: "Trump is right to push for a ceasefire. An endless war of attrition benefits only the makers of weapons and coffins." In his Fox News interview, Zelenskyy also emphasized the human cost of the war, saying Russian strikes were killing between 20 and 30 civilians a day, a figure Fox News has not independently verified. "We want to end this war as quickly as possible," he said. "Ceasefire is a good first step from both sides. This is very important." Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House for comments but didn't receive any in time for publication.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6accec9775342cf4db8f3919 Democrats see new chances to flip red states — but a $400M GOP spending advantage could derail their plans te 2026-10-12T14:20:07.648Z Democrats see new chances to flip red states — but a $400M GOP spending advantage could derail their plans With just over three weeks to go until Election Day, more and more red states and congressional districts appear in reach for the Democrats, as they work to win back House and Senate majorities from the Republicans in the midterms. But a massive Republican spending advantage threatens to complicate those ambitions. Republican campaigns, committees and aligned groups have outspent their Democratic counterparts by $400 million so far this election cycle, according to AdImpact, a leading political advertising tracking firm. The disparity is forcing Democrats to make difficult decisions about where to invest and how much to spend as the party tries to expand the electoral map. "We are being outspent by the Republicans. That's just a fact," Lauren French, communications director at the Senate Majority PAC, told Fox News Digital. "In many of these states, they have really transactionalized elections, so they have monopoly money to play with, whereas we are working with real resources." DEMOCRATS THINK A BLUE WAVE IS FORMER - HERE ARE THREE FACTORS THAT COULD STOP IT The latest Fox News Power Rankings shifted GOP-dominated South Carolina from Solid to Likely Republican. The Senate showdown in reliably Republican Kansas is Lean Republican, while the races in red-leaning Alaska, Iowa, Ohio and Texas are rated toss-ups. "Senate Majority PAC has resources to compete, and we are very happy that we're able to be in 9 battleground states," French said. The super PAC is the leading outside group supporting Democratic Senate candidates and incumbents and is aligned with longtime Democratic leader Sen. Chuck Schumer. French highlighted record-setting fundraising over the past three months, but added, "of course, more recess resources would be helpful." With the latest polls from Fox News and other organizations showing Democrats increasingly competitive across the Senate map, the party is pleading for more money. "Last month a pro-Trump PAC reserved $10 million in New Hampshire advertising, and we’re being outspent 3-to-1," reads a fundraising pitch to supporters by Rep. Chris Pappas, the Democratic Senate nominee in swing state New Hampshire. WHO'S UP AND WHO'S DOWN IN THE LATEST FOX NEWS MIDTERM POWER RANKINGS Senate Majority PAC is rushing some of its record fundraising into the newly competitive battlegrounds. And American Bridge PAC, a Democrat-aligned group, recently pumped over $20 million into South Carolina and Kansas, as well as competitive races in two other red states, Florida and Mississippi. But the Democratic groups are being outspent by their Republican-aligned counterparts, thanks to major expenditures by Senate Leadership Fund, the President Donald Trump-allied MAGA Inc. and a super PAC bankrolled by Elon Musk. "The hard reality is there isn't enough funding to protect the toss-up states and also heavily invest in the red-leaning states where we're playing offense," a veteran Democratic Senate operative who requested anonymity to speak candidly told Fox News Digital." French told Fox News Digital "This is the time in the campaign season where everyone really has to make some of those belt-tightening decisions, and that's why we're looking at every race really closely to make sure we have enough resources to get to the majority, but we're also not leaving anyone shortchanged." House Democrats are facing a similar predicament. A memo from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) shared with donors warned that Republicans "are now flooding districts across our battlefield with MAGA Inc. and Trump super PAC money that we simply cannot match." DEMOCRACY ’26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB The memo, which was obtained by Fox News Digital, requested an additional $17 million that was needed by Oct. 22 "to close the sale" in what they described as "winnable races." The GOP is fighting political history, which has traditionally seen the party in power in Washington lose congressional seats during midterm election years. Add to that a challenging political climate fueled by persistent inflation Americans see at the grocery store, high gas prices tied to what polls show is an unpopular war with Iran and Trump's negative approval ratings. SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER But the Republicans' financial advantage has allowed GOP campaigns and allied groups to spend more on political advertising nationally. "Thanks to the tireless efforts of Leader John Thune, Senate Leadership Fund has amassed a financial advantage that neither party has had before. SLF will continue to invest unprecedented resources across the map to maintain the Republican Senate majority," Senate Leadership Fund communications director Chris Gustafson told Fox News Digital. Veteran GOP strategist Jesse Hunt told Fox News Digital that "Republican outside groups will have played a decisive role in positive Republican performance if they have a good election night despite what is strong headwinds working against them." "This is not an advantage Republicans typically have and it's definitely a contributing factor to a lot of candidates on the ballot right now keeping their races close," Hunt emphasized.

Three statewide education-related questions will also be on the ballot: Leading the way is Proposition 320, asking to mandate that 60% of large-school district budgets be allocated for direct classroom expenses like teacher salaries. (More on that and Propositions 318 and 142 below.) What’s not on the ballot is also noteworthy: Proposition 212, which would have added guardrails for Arizona’s school voucher program was struck down in court in August. Two other education-related propositions initiated by Arizona Republicans were also eliminated by the courts last summer: One that would have shielded the Empowerment Scholarship Account program from the guardrails in Prop. 212 and another that would have greatly limited labor unions. What are bonds and overrides? Overrides and bonds each affect property taxes. But overrides pay for people — teachers, staff, new programs, etc. — and are not paid back. Bonds are loans and pay for capital expenses — building renovations, new construction, security systems, etc. — and are paid back over time with interest. When voters approve a budget override, they’re agreeing to pay higher property taxes so schools have more money to spend than they would under the state’s regular school budgeting formula. Almost all school districts in Pima County currently have an override in place, some for decades, while others have gone to voters for more money and been denied.

To help make your decision, Arizona Luminaria breaks it down: What is Prop. 320? This statewide proposition originated with Republicans in the Arizona Legislature and says 60% of large school district budgets must be allocated for direct classroom expenses like teacher salaries. Those expenses will be defined by the Arizona Auditor General’s office. Supporters of Proposition 320 say teachers would get a salary bump that could address Arizona’s teacher shortage. The money will support classrooms and not be directed to administrative overhead, they say. Opponents argue the proposition mandates district spending without defining which expenses go toward it and that some districts that do not meet the 60% threshold will be punished and could lose state funds. If a district cannot get to 60%, then it must raise its instructional expenses by at least .5% a year until it meets 60%. This could force cuts to services like school safety, nurses, counselors and buses, opponents say. The proposition defines large school districts as those with 7,500 students or located in a county of 500,000 or more. Of the 236 public school districts statewide, nearly 40 meet those requirements. However, most of Arizona’s just over 1 million students attend a school in one of almost 40 districts. The proposition does not apply to private schools or public charter schools. Find out if Prop. 320 applies to your district. A Yes vote: Says school districts with more than 7,500 students or located in counties with more than 500,000 residents are required to spend at least 60% of their budgets on “direct instructional expenses” as decided by the Arizona Auditor General’s office. A No vote: Would not require certain districts to spend 60% of their budgets on “direct instructional expenses.” 37 Arizona school districts affected by Prop. 320 1 million Number of Arizona public school students 4,000 Number of teacher vacancies in Arizona Learn more: Full proposition text What is Prop. 318? This amends state law, expanding the statute banning transgender students from playing on single-gender K-12 or college teams that correspond with their identity. It requires teams to be comprised of athletes based on their biological birth certificate starting in 2027. This proposition also expands current law to bar schools and athletic groups from letting transgender students use the bathroom that matches their gender identity.  A Yes vote: Prohibits schools and athletic groups from letting an athlete, student or employee from using a locker room, bathroom or private space that is not designated for the sex they were assigned at birth. Removes a provision that allows any athlete to participate in a school, athletic team or sport designated for males. A No vote: Does not restrict access to bathrooms, locker rooms or facilities, allows females to participate on male-designated teams, prohibits schools from opening sports teams designed for females to any student. 29 Sports offered by the Arizona Interscholastic Association, the governing body of high school sports 264 Member schools in the Arizona Interscholastic Association 1 million Number of high school football players nationwide Learn more: Full proposition text What is Prop. 142?

Katie Hobbs led Republican Andy Biggs, 49% to 43%. The Oct. 6 memo also showed Democratic Secretary of State Adrian Fontes at 46% against Republican Alex Kolodin’s 44%. The generic congressional ballot stood at 45% for each party. The survey interviewed 1,214 registered Arizona voters Sept. 1–9, including 400 Latino registered voters, using equal shares of live telephone interviews and text-to-web responses. Equis reported a margin of error of 3.2 percentage points for the full sample and 4.9 points for Latino registered voters. The candidate results were reported for likely voters; the memo did not separately identify that subgroup’s sample size or margin of error.

The organization also identifies itself as a resource for the progressive political ecosystem. The findings differ from earlier Arizona surveys that showed larger Democratic advantages in the attorney general and secretary of state contests. An August poll from Noble Predictive Insights placed Mayes ahead of Petersen, 44% to 38%, with 16% undecided. Fontes led Kolodin, 41% to 35%, with 20% undecided. That survey also showed Republican Kimberly Yee at 40% against Democrat Teresa Leyba Ruiz’s 37% in the superintendent of public instruction race, with another 20% undecided. Noble conducted its survey Aug. 10–13 through an opt-in online panel of 1,040 registered voters, including 923 classified as likely voters through screening questions. The firm reported a margin of error of approximately 3.2 percentage points for its likely-voter results and weighted that group to its projected electorate. A separate HighGround survey conducted Aug. 15–18 showed Mayes ahead of Petersen, 48.3% to 40.3%, and Fontes ahead of Kolodin, 43% to 35.3%. HighGround also found Democrat Nick Mansour at 41.8% against Republican Elijah Norton’s 39% for state treasurer. Leyba Ruiz received 42.3% against Yee’s 41.2% for superintendent. HighGround sponsored its survey of 400 likely voters, using live interviews and a turnout model with an eight-percentage-point Republican partisan advantage. It reported a margin of error of 4.9 percentage points. The surveys used different respondents, interview methods, and turnout assumptions. Their results alone do not establish how much individual voters’ preferences changed between August and September. Recent national coverage has also highlighted past differences between polling and election results. During a Sept. 30 CNN segment, chief data analyst Harry Enten said Republicans outperformed September polling in major 2024 races by nine percentage points in Iowa, six in Ohio and five in Michigan. Dems have had a lot of very good polls from Iowa, Mich & Ohio. But are polls underestimating the GOP again? In all 3 states, GOP did better by 5+ pt in 2024 than polls had at this point. Same thing in Trump's 1st midterm. Same happens in 2026? GOP probably holds the Senate. pic.twitter.com/NZYxhGyRgd — (((Harry Enten))) (@ForecasterEnten) September 30, 2026 Enten also cited the 2018 midterms, when Republicans outperformed September polls in major statewide races by six points in Iowa, six in Ohio, and eight in Michigan. He cautioned that another Republican overperformance could alter the outlook for Senate control. Enten’s comparison concerned Iowa, Ohio, and Michigan and did not assess Arizona results. Beyond candidate preferences, the Equis memo identified the economy and cost of living as the leading concern for 33% of likely voters, followed by water at 23%. Although released in October, the survey’s voter-preference findings reflect interviews completed Sept. 9 and do not measure reactions to subsequent campaign developments.

Arizona has missed the federal Single Audit deadline for four consecutive fiscal years, from 2022 through 2025, under Governor Katie Hobbs’ administration. The Single Audit is an annual financial and compliance review required by federal law to account for how states spend federal funding and ensure compliance with federal regulations. Arizona’s fiscal year 2025 audit was due March 31, 2026, but remains incomplete. The Arizona Auditor General has projected that the report may not be released until March 5, 2027, less than a month before the fiscal year 2026 audit deadline. According to state officials, Arizona spent approximately $28.6 billion in federal funding during fiscal year 2024, including $18.3 billion from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The funding supports several programs, including the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS), which administers Medicaid services, and the Arizona Long Term Care System (ALTCS), which provides nursing home and long-term care assistance to eligible seniors and individuals with disabilities. Federal funding also supports behavioral health services, child care assistance, food assistance through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and other public assistance programs. “Governor Hobbs has allowed Arizona to remain out of compliance year after year, and now the health care and benefits Arizonans depend on are exposed to federal penalties,” stated Rep. Griffin. “We are talking about $18.3 billion in HHS funding and services that seniors, people with disabilities, and vulnerable families rely on. These Arizonans should not have to worry about losing benefits because the Governor has failed to meet basic federal accountability requirements.” 🚨Hobbs’ Noncompliance Could Cost Arizona Billions in Health Care Benefits Federal government warns continued Single Audit failures put $18.3 billion in Medicare and other federal funding at risk, including services for seniors and Arizonans with disabilities “Governor Hobbs has… pic.twitter.com/GtoR7NM15T — Arizona House Republicans (@AZHouseGOP) October 7, 2026 During a September 21 hearing of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee (JLAC), HHS Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources Gustav Chiarello criticized the state’s response to its overdue audits, calling it “inadequate.” Under federal regulations, agencies have several enforcement options when recipients fail to comply with funding requirements, including withholding payments, disallowing costs, and suspending or terminating federal awards. The federal government previously notified Hobbs of Arizona’s noncompliance in a July 14 letter, citing a “consistent pattern of noncompliance” and requesting corrective action. On July 31, the Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA) proposed completing the overdue audit by December 30, 2026, and shifting portions of the federal compliance auditing process to outside accounting firms. The Auditor General subsequently disputed that timeline, calling it unrealistic and identifying March 5, 2027, as a more achievable completion date. Arizona’s delayed audits have already resulted in financial consequences for the state’s public universities. Federal agencies have reportedly withheld or frozen hundreds of millions of dollars in funding, including approximately $154 million from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Shortly after, the universities separated their federal audits from the statewide Single Audit process to protect their access to federal funding. During the September hearing, Chiarello also testified that neither Hobbs nor her office had directly contacted him or his staff to address the state’s noncompliance following the July notification. “For four years under Governor Hobbs, this problem has gotten worse instead of better,” Griffin said. “Arizona has missed four consecutive federal deadlines, the number of audit findings has grown, and HHS is now warning about federal enforcement. Even after HHS formally notified the Governor that Arizona was not in compliance, her office did not have a direct conversation with the federal official responsible for addressing the delinquency. Four years is more than enough time to get this under control.” State officials have attributed the continued delays in part to late financial reporting from multiple agencies, including the Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES). The Auditor General also reported that agency submissions were arriving later than in previous years, further complicating efforts to complete the required audits. At the hearing, ADOA acknowledged that the delays were unacceptable but did not commit to completing the fiscal year 2026 audit by its federal deadline. Griffin called on the Hobbs administration to establish a realistic timeline, improve communication with federal officials, and implement corrective measures to bring Arizona back into compliance. “Governor Hobbs needs to take responsibility and fix this,” said Griffin. “Arizona needs a credible timeline, direct engagement with the Department of Health and Human Services, and an immediate plan to bring the State back into compliance.” “Seniors, families, and Arizonans with disabilities should not have their health care and other essential benefits put at risk because the administration cannot get its financial reporting in order,” added Griffin.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acce5a075342cf4db8f353d Kris Mayes Touts Endorsement From ‘Lifelong Republican’ Who Misused 911 te 2026-10-12T13:50:24.125Z Kris Mayes Touts Endorsement From ‘Lifelong Republican’ Who Misused 911 By Staff Reporter | Attorney General Kris Mayes is styling her campaign to show bipartisan support; her latest endorsement comes from a “lifelong Republican” former mayor who misused the 911 system. Mayes opened her latest campaign ad with the endorsement of Sam Campana, the former mayor of Scottsdale from 1996 to 2000. “I’m voting for Kris Mayes because Arizona deserves better than politics as usual,” said Campana. Mayes has encouraged a public perception of nonpartisanship on the campaign trail and the debate stage.  During her debate against Republican nominee Warren Petersen last month, Mayes presented herself as apolitical. Petersen disagreed with that characterization and revisited actions by her office that he claimed were evidence of political lawfare, such as her refusal to defend a state law banning boys from girls sports.  “Whether it was a Republican president or a Democratic president, our criteria is the same: has the Constitution been violated? Has the state been harmed?” said Mayes. “And that has happened all too often over the past two years.” “Kris Mayes is the most political and partisan AG that this state has ever had,” replied Petersen. “She’s got [more than] 50 lawsuits against her political opponents. She has weaponized the office.” In furtherance of that goal to present herself as nonpartisan, Mayes this week featured an endorsement from Campana, Scottsdale’s first female mayor who previously identified as a Republican.  Some Arizona voters were quick to point out that the chief law enforcement officer had chosen an endorser who misused 911 on more than one occasion.  While mayor, Campana repeatedly called 911 for directions to city functions when she couldn’t get an answer in time from non-emergency lines.  Campana continued calling 911 despite being asked by local police leadership to cease calling the emergency line for driving directions. Campana eventually relented from calling 911 for directions according to reports, but stated at the time that she continued to call police for navigational assistance. “I only use it under duress,” said Campana. The only "Republican" @KrisMayes could find to endorse her in her new ad? A former mayor who abused police resources by repeatedly calling 911 "to get driving directions." The police chief had to send out a memo telling her to stop 🤡 pic.twitter.com/p9lBWG2BQj — Brian Anderson (@AZBrianAnderson) October 8, 2026 The former mayor also told the Arizona Progress Gazette in a 2020 interview that she helped to ensure that women were hired over men during her tenure, giving the implication that she participated in sex-based hiring discrimination.  “It was an exciting time on the Mezzanine of City Hall when all the mayor and council staff were women! Mostly it was because we hired the most capable person for the job, but in a case or two it was a nudge to give a woman an opportunity who otherwise wouldn’t have gotten it,” said Campana.  Campana was among several self-identified lifelong Republicans in this latest campaign ad who said they viewed Mayes as one of their own, since the attorney general was a registered Republican until 2019.  Although Campana described herself as a lifelong Republican, she has endorsed Democratic candidates for years and was a member of Republicans for Harris. Campana endorsed President Joe Biden in 2020, Gov. Katie Hobbs in 2022, and Kamala Harris in 2024. This year, Campana supported Solange Whitehead and Raoul Zubia for Scottsdale City Council, and Marlene Galan-Woods for Congress  — all Democrats. “Principled, public policy-minded, cares about Arizona, steady at the wheel and a proven statewide candidate who has delivered every time,” said Campana of Hobbs in her 2022 endorsement.  AZ Free News is your #1 source for Arizona news and politics.

There has been significant buzz surrounding "Below" ever since the preview was released and for one very simple reason: People like shows about mysterious monsters and a small town with deep secrets. NETFLIX DROPS NEW TRAILER FOR 'BELOW' STARRING JOSH HARTNETT AS A FISHERMAN FIGHTING A SEA CREATURE Well, it was recently released, and it's certainly drawing some interesting reactions. Spoilers below. The series focuses on a small fishing community in Canada that finds itself being absolutely terrorized by an unknown sea creature and a massive iceberg that mysteriously appears in the harbor. I had the chance to bang it out over the course of a few days, and the main problem is that "Below" is essentially two different shows that play out over six episodes. One track is a horror series about an unknown creature taking down boats and killing people. The second track is (possibly?) supposed to be an uplifting story about understanding nature. Well, those two things don't exactly naturally mix. The ending was also a bit of a strange choice. Right after a bow has been put on the situation, and the sea creature has been pushed off, the community discovers more massive chunks of ice that are nesting more violent monsters. So, a limited series ends on a cliffhanger? Make that make sense. There are also plenty of reactions on Reddit, and it's a very mixed bag: 'LIONESS' SEASON 3 FINALE REVEALS WHO ORCHESTRATED JOE'S KIDNAPPING ALL ALONG Here's my breakdown of what went well and what did not with "Below."

Darline Graham, R-S.C., and Democratic challenger Annie Andrews clashed on Sunday night during the South Carolina U.S. Senate debate, which also included Libertarian candidate Kasie Whitener. Graham said she is "concerned about the socialist Democrats," asserting that after Hamas terrorists slaughtered Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023, Democrats in New York cheered "over the death of over a thousand people." "Annie Andrews will not stand up to the socialist Democratic Party. She's only going to join them," Graham declared. DARLINE GRAHAM'S 'EMBARRASSING AND INEXCUSABLE' NATIONAL SECURITY STUMBLE SPOTLIGHTS BREAK FROM LATE BROTHER Andrews fired back, claiming that she is willing to stand up to her party. "I told you my opponent was going to call me a socialist and there she's done it again. She's been told to come out here and call me Bernie, Ocasio, Mamdani. That's what's in her script," Andrews said, referring to Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. "But the truth is my name is Annie Andrews. And there shouldn't be any confusion about that because unlike my opponent, I haven't changed my name recently," she said. DEMOCRATS ARE CHANGING THEIR TRANSGENDER MESSAGE. REPUBLICANS SAY THEY'RE JUST FLIP-FLOPPING "The real difference between me and Sen. Graham is that I will stand up to my own party and I will always put South Carolina first. She seems to believe the job she has right now is to be the White House's ambassador to South Carolina. The job is to represent South Carolina. She considers the job to be to read their scripts and do their bidding. And we can do better," Andrews asserted. Graham fired back, saying that her "legal name is Graham" and "has always been Graham." She explained, "I lost my parents when I was a little girl and I kept the name Graham so that I felt connected to them. So my name, every document I have ever signed, has Graham on it."

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acce33b75342cf4db8f31e8 Michael Brennan is officially a dude, Blades Brown is coming and time is Jon Rahm's best friend te 2026-10-12T13:40:11.914Z Michael Brennan is officially a dude, Blades Brown is coming and time is Jon Rahm's best friend The PGA Tour has always had the great problem of having so much young talent that many up-and-comers fall through the cracks and don't get the attention they deserve until they quietly put together a resume that suddenly smacks you in the face. Nobody on Tour right now may optimize that more than Michael Brennan. On the topic of young talent, Blades Brown is headed to the PGA Tour next year. At just 19 years old and some change, he's the youngest player ever to earn his Tour card through the Korn Ferry Tour after finishing ninth on the season-long points list. In other news, LIV Golf suffered a haymaker amid its bankruptcy mess, with Jon Rahm officially opting to split with the league as its future remains entirely up in the air. While it's so easy to look at the (many) negatives involving Rahm and his run with LIV, there is a very obvious yet important reality to look forward to. Welcome to Par Talk, a weekly read to get you caught up on all the happenings that took place in professional golf that you should know. Be sure to follow Mark on X @itismarkharris or email him at mark.harris@outkick.com. When you think of young stars on Tour, let's call it guys who are 26 or younger, the likes of Jackson Koivun (21), Akshay Bhatia (24), Tom Kim (24), Michael Thorbjornsen (25), Jacob Bridgeman (26), and Ludvig Aberg (26) immediately come to mind, and rightfully so. After what 24-year-old Michael Brennan accomplished in Japan over the weekend, his name firmly belongs in that group. The Baycurrent Classic marked Brennan's 33rd career start on the PGA Tour, and after beginning Sunday's final round tied for the lead, he went out and posted a 3-under 68 to earn a one-shot victory, giving him three career wins, all coming in under 12 months' time. Brennan's maiden win came at the 2025 Bank of Utah Championship in November against an admittedly weaker field. His second trip to the winner's circle, a three-shot victory, came this August at the Wyndham Championship against a stronger crop of players fighting for a spot into the FedEx Cup Playoffs. While the Wyndham could be described as his first "big boy" win, his victory at the Baycurrent, on international soil, is the most impressive of the three, as he held off the likes of Xander Schauffele, Brian Harman, Ryan Gerard, Keith Mitchell, and Bridgeman en route to victory. Brennan was ranked 61st in the world in late July, but has catapulted himself all the way to No. 20 in what can only be described as a quiet, yet meteoric rise. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! The former Wake Forest star turned professional in 2024, made quick work of the PGA Tour Americas circuit in 2025 with three wins to earn a spot on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2026, but ultimately skipped that step. His start in the 2025 Bank of Utah Championship came via a sponsor's exemption, and he went out and won the event, his first career start on Tour as a pro, by four shots. So, about a year into his professional career, Brennan had already earned a PGA Tour membership, and less than a year on from that maiden victory, he's earned two more wins. He also made the cut in all four major championships in 2026, which is something only 13 other players can say they accomplished. The Virginia native has proven he knows how to do the hardest part – actually win – and also happens to rank second and third, respectively, in average club head speed and driving distance on Tour. Brennan is one of the best young players on the planet, period. It's safe to say Blades Brown made the right call skipping out on that whole college experience thing. Since before he could drive a car, which admittedly wasn't all that long ago, the expectation for Blades Brown has simply been 'the next guy.' While he hasn't won a professional event at this point in his insanely young career, he's just about met every expectation out there. It has been a steady climb for the Nashville native since he made his professional debut in January 2025 at 17 years old at The American Express. He's made the most out of countless sponsors' exemptions on the PGA Tour and put together an incredibly consistent campaign on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2026 with six Top 10s and just two missed cuts in 18 starts, which was plenty to earn a spot on Tour in 2027. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE When the calendar flips in January, things get as real as possible for a guy who doesn't turn 20 until May, but Brown has shown absolutely no reason to doubt him as he's been Mr. Consistent. In 11 starts on Tour in 2026, Brown missed just two cuts, finished solo third at the Puerto Rico Open, and picked up a total of seven Top 25 finishes. His career is very simply on the exact, consistent trajectory many expected it to be on at this point. Currently ranked 97th in the world, it will be fascinating to see how Brown plays out of the gates in 2027. Sneaking inside the Top 50 and earning a Masters invite would be quite the story. It's so easy to say that Jon Rahm made a mistake when he left the PGA Tour for LIV Golf in 2024. You could claim it was a decision made out of greed, as he made the move for hundreds of millions of dollars. Then again, 99.9% of humanity would leave one job for another to acquire generational wealth, plus, Rahm was up front that money was the major factor behind his decision to join the then Saudi-backed circuit. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER You could also claim that the move hurt his reputation. He made the jump at just 30 years old in the prime of his career with two major championships already in his back pocket. While it's fair to focus on those aspects now, our now will soon become our then, and Rahm has an ample amount of time to make his brief career on LIV Golf seem like a forgettable blip on his resume. While at this point in time we don't know how he'll do it, the Spaniard will get back to competing on the PGA Tour against the best players in the world on a consistent basis. Maybe we see that in six months, maybe it takes 18 months, who knows, but when it happens, it'll be a jolt to the PGA Tour from every angle. Yes, two decades from now, golf fans will make jokes about Rahm leaving for LIV Golf for a couple of years while remembering him making the announcement in a ridiculous letterman jacket, but our level of caring about it at that point, in the grand scheme of things, won't even exist.

If you're looking for a normal NASCAR recap, go check out insufferable ESPN ... assuming they still know NASCAR exists.Stop the presses! We got a good NASCAR finish in what seems like the first time in forever. Boy, did NASCAR need that, huh? It's been a rough few months in terms of the actual racing. It just feels like we've been in a rut, and going from summer to fall doesn't help. NASCAR owns Sundays during the summer. There's no real competition in terms of network TV. But once Labor Day hits and football takes over, it's a grind to stay relevant. NASCAR STAR RIPS SPORT FOR BEING SLOW AND SOFT, ANOTHER MAKES A SHOCKING COMEBACK & SCORNED WIFE BITES BACK Some weeks, they get lucky and a major fight breaks out after a race. Other weeks, an entire team attacks a driver by a hot dog stand and beats the snot out of him. And then there are some Sundays when we actually get a good finish on the track. That was yesterday at Charlotte. Well done, Chase Briscoe. We'll get into it here in a bit. What else? I've also got Bubba Wallace and Alex Bowman getting into a violent wreck during the actual race, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Michael McDowell getting into one after it, Hooters making a DISGUSTING decision in Daytona, and Kyle Busch's Celebration of Live Friday night was quite the scene. How about Brexton Busch nailing this burnout, too? Stud. You'll see. Four tires, enough fuel to get us through these final four races, and maybe an ice pack for Bubba and Alex today ... Monday Morning Pit-Stop — the 'Buzzer Beater In Charlotte' edition — is LIVE! There it is — the second closest finish at Charlotte in NASCAR history. Not bad for a terrible Next Gen car that makes it nearly impossible to pass! Chase Briscoe, who waited 19 weeks to win his first race of the season back in July, has now won back-to-back races to cut Kyle Larson's championship points lead down to 65 with four races to go. He did it yesterday by nosing ahead of teammate Christopher Bell at the very last second, making it the closest Charlotte finish since ... Any guesses? Any takers? Nothing?! Bueller?? Since Jimmie Johnson beat Bobby Labonte (!!!) in the 2005 Coca-Cola 600! NASCAR'S THROWBACK WEEKEND INCLUDED A SHOCKING NOD TO RELIGION, BREXTON BUSCH EMOTIONAL WIN & FIGHTING WORDS? Look at that race. Man, we had it so good back then, and we just pissed it all away. Look at those cars! Listen to those announcers. That was peak NASCAR, at least for me. Can't believe it's been 21 years. And somehow, Jimmie is still racing. Not on a full-time basis, of course, but he's already locked in for next year's Daytona 500. Amazing. Anyway, let's head back to the year 2026 and stay on track ... Again, NASCAR needed that finish yesterday. The racing in this Chase has stunk so far. The storylines have been ... pretty blah. Beyond a couple fights, there's just been no juice. Eliminating the elimination race every three weeks will do that, by the way. But you all aren't ready for that conversation yet. But yesterday was a nice, solid bounce-back for the series. Charlotte gave us some decent racing, and a finish that made it worth the wait. No complaints here. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! For those wondering, Kyle Larson finished sixth to maintain a pretty decent points lead (49) over Denny Hamlin with four races to go. And also for those wondering just how dominant Larson's been during these playoffs ... yesterday's sixth-place finish was his worst of all the Chase races. That's right. His finishes, starting with Darlington on Labor Day Sunday: 5,1,2,1,2,6. Not bad! That'll work. We've got four races left in this 2026 season, by the way, and they're four of the better tracks on the schedule. I think we're in for a big finale. I can feel it in my plumbs. Stay tuned. Speaking of feeling things in your plumbs, let's go ahead and check in on Alex Bowman and Bubba Wallace after yesterday's surprisingly violent wreck: Lordy. You get numb to these hits when you've done this for as long as I have, but that wreck even caught me off guard. I didn't see it coming, and neither did Bubba. Bowman, for what it's worth, took full responsibility for the wreck ... in the only way he could. "I overcorrected and just did a s–t job," he said. Fair enough, Alex! Thanks for owning up to it. OK, let's put the pedal to the floor and get to a couple quickies on the way to Phoenix. First up? Let's go from one violent wreck during the race to a not-so-violent-but-way-funnier wreck after the race! Amazing. No clue wha the deal was with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. or Michael McDowell, but what a random two drivers to have beef with one another. I do agree with the broadcasters on one thing, though ... Ricky Stenhouse Jr. is probably one driver I'd steer clear of in that garage. He's sort of a lunatic. He's got crazy eyes. Remember the Kyle Busch fight a few years back? Psycho. Head on a swivel, McDowell! Next? Speaking of Kyle Busch, NASCAR had his official Celebration of Life at Charlotte Friday night, complete with Brexton Busch riding in Kyle's No. 8 Chevy and giving the crowd the most pressure-packed burnout of all time. He nailed it: CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Yeah, it just feels like we're only a few years away from seeing Brexton in NASCAR — at some level. For those wondering, you can start racing in the Truck Series at just 16. He's 11 right now. My calculator tells me that means we should be circling 2030. Can't wait. OK, that's all I got for today. Good race. Fun finish. Final four races of the season on deck. On the way out, let's pay proper respect to the greatest Hooters in America — the one directly across from Daytona international Speedway. Unfortunately, that majestic palace closed its doors last week for the final time, which should show you how broken we are as a society right now. Disgusting behavior. I can't believe it's gone. We deserve better. Farewell, ladies. Thank you.

That would never impact my vote. Friday morning I was taking my daughter to school and saw a sign for a candidate that I know and was going to vote for in the yard a of a lefty house and now I’m a yes it will change my mind.   The guy I thought I was voting for is the dad of a guy I worked with a few years ago. Met the dad a couple of times and he was a good guy so I was ok with voting for him. After I looked up what he supports, I’m voting for the other guy.  I’m glad the lefty house had his sign or i would never have looked him up and would have voted for the wrong guy.  – Gen X.

No one trusts you to make good decisions. No coach wants to work for you, no matter the money, because it’s such a toxic environment. But you’re making too much money to care (stadium).

I’d say we’ll protest, but Mrs. Gen X Warren M. is a Lions fan, so we’re going to Lions at Miami game next month… – Susan G. says: I truly believe the Dallas Cowboys will not be a winning team again until Jerry passes away and they replace Dak. I know I know he has a great pass completion percentage but he can’t do it when it counts. I am 67 years old and I have been a Cowboys fan since I can remember, but these days I don’t expect them to win. It is really sad! How do I know? Wait until you see how many emails this topic generated over the weekend. Normally, I'll get maybe six emails on a hot topic over a weekend because you guys have lives to live. This weekend, it was completely different. We have ourselves a hot topic. – Kevin W. emails: I love the question about golf integrity. I belong to a private club, and it's a constant debate. We like other clubs have a "men's day" where all the tee times that day put money into a pot and play various games. This is where the convenience of technology created an issue. We, like yourself, and lots of other golf clubs, started using Golf Genius. Nice and convenient to enter scores; HOWEVER, it also posts scores as they are happening. So, what happens when the guys who go off early post a good score? The late guys see the number they have to beat and BINGO, suddenly 5-footers are good, and those groups are winning everything. Our club's first solution to the problem was to buy a very expensive software called CAP patrol from a bunch of data scientists. Basically, it was the socialist version of golf handicaps that punished good golfers to even out the field for the higher handicappers. It would cherry-pick low rounds and say you're better than your index and you MUST BE cheating otherwise. There were a ton of other factors, and nobody understood the algorithm of who got capped and who didn't, and the company wouldn't disclose it. It's very popular with private clubs on the east and west coasts. We quickly scrapped it. The simple solution this year was to go old school and stop the live scoreboard. Pretty much fixed the issue. In general, if you want to fix giving short putts, always have a money game going. My group of guys rarely, if ever, just go out and play a round just to play. We always have some dollars on the line; even if it's just a few bucks, it keeps the integrity there, as a short putt can change a game quickly. Just my $.02 – Rural MN Dave agrees: I played in a group for many years that played strict rules of golf and no gimmes. One of the group members was playing on a 9 handicap but was really closer to a 6. The strength of his game was chipping and putting. One day he had an 18 inch birdie putt with several skins carryovers riding on it. He stepped up to the putt, taking his time and doing his regular routine, and cold yanked it, never even touched the hole. He looked up, red-faced, and said "and that's why we don't do gimmes!" – Michael in Bossier City, Louisiana says: Your recent article on shaving golf scores did not shock me the least bit.  I believe that gimmie putts really skew one’s score when playing the same course conditions.  However, not all course conditions are equal.  Do you play on a goat ranch city course or a private near PGA standards.  I would love to witness a professional golfer score scratch or better on the city course I play regularly; bare fairways and tree roots jutting out in all directions.  Rolling the ball slightly to find that last remaining few blades of grass in the fairways or safety setting away from tree roots that are three inches exposed to the surface becomes a must for sanity; you are still accountable to that next golf shot.  Now, I’ve played in regional and state tournaments that would white mark a tenth of my course as no play areas because of root or extreme bare spot areas.  Then again, I’m not disagreeing with you on most of your points of play.  If you are behind a tree or in the rough, then you need to hit your best way out and onto the green to putt it out. More to note!  I’m a 6.8 handicap in which I play a fairly nice city course other than the tree root issues and played Robert Trent courses resulting in a near score equivalence.  Yes, plugging in the rough off the fairway, moving your ball for a way out of tree trouble and taking gimmie putts does mask one’s real ability.  However, having a fake lower handicap which most tournaments only take 85% to prevent sandbaggers will hurt a delusional golfer in the end. Well, hope you had time to read my opinion. – Joyce tells us about her club's gimme rule: Just think how many games and championships Ohio State would have won if the 3-foot gimme rule would have been in play for field goals and touchdowns. Last year our women's golf league finally adopted a 6-inch gimme rule, a measurement that we can easily imagine.

Also, it rains a lot, which is why everything here is so green and lush compared to the Rockies. It’s pretty rare to have a clear warm day during these months. As for south Florida: the highs will be over 87 by early May and won’t really drop until nearly Thanksgiving. East coast is a little warmer than west, but you’ve been on the Gulf side in the summer.

DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! – Jon C. pushes back on this climate map: I live in the foothills of the Smokies so can shed a little light on the subject.  The reason its called the Smoky’s is there are plenty of days where you have fog/mist covering the mountains, especially near lakes, giving it a look of smoke.  Most of the time it burns off by mid morning in the summers but other times it can hang around.  So guessing this effects the poster’s criteria of cloud cover.  Given the temp range and low dew point, the poster skewed the results to make a small strip of the west coast look ideal.  Maybe the guy lives there and wants bragging rights. As someone that lived a part of his childhood in California and most of his life in Louisiana, moving to East Tennessee over 8 years ago has been fantastic weather wise (and just about any other wise).  I live in that sweet spot where you experience all 4 seasons with each lasting about 3 months.  Unlike LA where you had 50 weeks of summer, 1 of spring and fall, and 1 day of winter.  CA you had 2 moths of rain and 10 months of dry. ###################### SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER Folks, that's an excellent edition of Screencaps.

He’s a four-time world champion, two-time tag team champion and one-time intercontinental champion. He’s won the Royal Rumble and Money in the Bank one time each as well. With his hulking figure and silky smooth long hair, it almost seems like the Scotsman was made for the cameras. Over the last year, he’s begun to prove that notion. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK PRO WRESTLING COVERAGE McIntyre has had a role in the 2024 film "The Killer’s Game" and is set to be a part of "The Last Druid" starring Russell Crowe and the "Highlander" reboot, which also stars Crowe and WWE Hall of Famer Dave Bautista. With his recent success, McIntyre has gotten a part in a micro-drama series with actor Chase Mattson and a few other WWE figures. McIntyre stars as a dangerous secret agent. He goes undercover to help protect a young girl from being targeted by a billionaire arms dealer. But what makes "Agent of Shadows" stand out from every other TV show in the same genre, is that it will premiere on ReelShort. ReelShort is a streaming service that produces short-form videos for the social media age. McIntyre told OutKick Dropkick he was aware of the platform because he would need to watch something on airplanes as he traveled around the world for wrestling and filming. "I had a look at it, it was a lot of fun, a lot of chance to show some range, and I went, heck yeah, I wanna be part of this thing," he recalled after getting asked whether he would want to perform in the series. "It has the action, the comedy and it has heart, too." Mattson told OutKick Dropkick he was drawn to the show because of his martial-arts background. "I just felt like Adam, the character, was a lot like myself and I loved how much I could resonate with it so fast. I love the amount of action, comedy and a little bit of romance that was spread throughout the script. I was like, I need to be a part of this. And it was a lot different from all of the other projects that I’ve done." Mattson said he didn’t really know much about McIntyre before working with him. He noticed how big the pro wrestler.

"But he walked on set and I was like, ‘This dude’s a giant.’ I’m big, that’s a giant. But no, I didn’t know anything about him other than that – he was a big guy. And he came and I was like, ‘OK, he’s probably going to be really mean.’ But he’s the nicest guy I’ve ever met. "I felt really honored to be acting alongside Drew because he had just came off of these movies with these big, heavy hitters and I’m like, ‘Oh you’re with me. This is kinda cool.’" WWE will have a massive imprint on "Agent of Shadows." The trailer for the micro-drama dropped last week. WWE stars like Royce Keys, Joe Hendry, Jacob Fatu, Nikkita Lyons, Hank Walker and Tank Ledger make an appearance. Michael Hayes and Booker T also make a splash in the show. McIntyre agreed that it shows that WWE is not just one thing when it comes to sports entertainment. It very much is sports and entertainment across the board. "Not one thing is an understatement, or understatement of the year these days," he said. "I first came into the company in ’07 and I could not imagine it being any bigger and to watch the growth from then to now and seeing the company everywhere in 180 countries, 28 different languages, 800 million homes, billions with a ‘B’ social media followers, on ESPN, Netflix, billion-dollar deals cut by the billion-dollar man Nick Khan and now getting involved in the vertical-short world with ReelShort … this is not a new thing, this is a billion-dollar industry and it’s awesome. "WWE is getting involved, giving our superstars a chance to showcase a different side of their personality in a more acting range with the action with the comedy and hopefully highlight using our platform to highlight, using the platform, a lot of the actors like Chase because it is the future no matter how anyone looks at it." "Agent of Shadows" drops on ReelShort on Oct. 23.

The five candidates vying for two Tucson Unified School District board seats range from incumbent board members seeking second terms to an educator and a 20-year-old Sabino High School graduate. The Nov. 3 general election will feature incumbents Jennifer Eckstrom and Val Romero and three challengers: Pilar Acosta Ruiz, Skye Fernandez and Tre’Davon Rhodes.

The board says it will study data and listen to community feedback over the coming month before holding a public hearing Nov. 17. It’s scheduled to vote Dec. 8. New board members will take office in January. The district is projected to see about a 4% decline from last year to about 35,000 students, according to Arizona Department of Education data — a drop district officials attribute to lower Pima County birth rates and families using Empowerment Scholarship Accounts to homeschool or attend private schools, which has cost the district revenue. Tied to that are district budget challenges: TUSD was one of nine school districts statewide named as highest financial risk earlier this year by the Arizona Auditor General’s office. Under Arizona law, the State Board of Education can place a district in receivership if it finds it insolvent or grossly mismanaged. TUSD was last on this list in 2020 and removed the following year. Those vital issues are big reasons why candidates say they want to run, make crucial decisions and do this unpaid work. It’s also a chance to give back, to support their kids and grandkids and to be a community watchdog, they told Arizona Luminaria. School board races are nonpartisan, meaning political parties are not listed on ballots, and voters, regardless of party affiliation, can vote for any candidate in the general election. Board members must live within district boundaries, the state says. Responses are compiled from one-on-one phone, in-person and text interviews with Arizona Luminaria, board meeting transcripts and a Sept. 29 candidate forum. We include their voices and illuminate some answers to the top questions facing the board in the coming year. Their responses have been lightly edited for clarity.  What inspired your run for school board? Pilar Acosta Ruiz Challenger Campaign Facebook Personal Facebook Campaign Website Pilar Acosta Ruiz, 62, bookkeeper, challenger, last ran in 2024:  “I know that my school experience was really good and we had a great education. Looking back on it, it feels good. And my daughter was able to get a good quality education. Our proficiency rates are really low now and the biggest thing we’re facing is the potential for the state auditor general to take receivership of the district. The budget has been an issue for a really long time and I have been around long enough that I have seen the different kind of things that have happened and how they try to do new fixes and we end up in the same spot because we’ve already been there, done that. And I really want the kids of the future to be able to have the kind of experience that I did.” Jennifer Eckstrom Incumbent Campaign Facebook Personal Facebook Campaign Instagram Campaign Website District Website Jennifer Eckstrom, 49, program coordinator, Pima County community and workforce development, former South Tucson mayor and council member, incumbent in first term: “I am running for TUSD Governing Board to strengthen our district and because I am a strong community voice,” she told Arizona Luminaria. “Over the past four years, I have been dedicated to our students, teachers, and families. I am committed to equity and ensuring our students have the best education possible. We have accomplished many great improvements. I believe I am the candidate that can make more positive change.” Skye Fernandez Challenger Campaign Facebook Campaign Instagram Campaign Website Skye Fernandez, 37, former public school teacher, now private educator, challenger running for first-time office: “Education has been my whole life. I don’t mean just the obligatory years I spent as a student. Those years were absolutely formative to who I am now as a person because I was one of those kids who going to college and having all the success was never guaranteed for me. I come from really humble backgrounds. And I attribute me being able to break cycles, to my education. I love school but when I became a teacher I started to realize why everyone else hated school basically and I said ‘oh man it’s like a battleground in here’ — essentially happening at these schools. I went into teaching because I wanted to make a difference. I’m here looking for results. I’m trying to do something tomorrow, not five years from now.” Tre’Davon Rhodes Challenger Campaign Instagram Campaign YouTube Campaign Website Tre’Davon Rhodes, 20, University of Arizona student, challenger first time running for office:  “I felt it kind of had to be done and I wasn’t really seeing anybody else taking on the fight to advocate for students, for teachers. I think, you know, I see somebody like Sadie Shaw who’s been doing wonderful work in the advocacy space and really been fighting for things. I think some members on our board really haven’t been doing enough to make sure that things are successful and have put a stopping block to the progress of the district. I have two siblings that are currently enrolled and two more that will be future TUSD students. Maybe it’s a little bit selfish, but they’re a large part of my motivation. I think I got a great deal within TUSD and my education and I want them to have the same opportunities that I did.” Val Romero Incumbent Campaign Facebook Personal Facebook Personal Instagram Campaign Website District Website Val Romero, 55, owner of Arizona Grill & Hearth, incumbent in first term: “Most people don’t remember or maybe don’t realize, this is a volunteer position. We’re all taking part of our lives to do something for our community. There’s a lot of issues that we have like, how do we get ourselves off of the high risk with the auditor general? Is a school not closing or consolidating schools going to push us over? So we’re under that receivership and now the board loses its autonomy. Those are some of the serious discussions we have to have. Again, we need to do better for our students. One of the things that I’ve learned by visiting every school, visiting with many faculty, is learning the system. I’m learning and taking the information that I got to help make it a better place. Again, my priority is our students. Their safety, our staff, and our families.” What are three important factors when discussing school closures? Acosta Ruiz: Enrollment, proximity of other schools and building age. “Growth is exploding on the west side of town and birth rates are part of the equation,” she said at the candidate forum. “Also, what is the population of the neighborhood? Closing and consolidating schools is a very complex topic. I don’t think that anybody can just name three cut and dry answers to that. I think they all are intertwined.” Eckstrom: Community impact, required infrastructure, any cost savings. “Why and how will closing schools make things better and easier? They say we are going to save money and provide better services. But how?” she said in a text to Arizona Luminaria. “Are we creating a hardship to get these students to another school? What will happen to the closed school? Will it be boarded up? What will take its place? Do we have the ability to make improvements and the required changes necessary to accept new students? Do we really save a significant amount in our budget year after year or is it a one time deal?” Fernandez: Enrollment, facility size and what magnet or specialty programs are offered at campuses. “If we absolutely have to work the scenario to shut down a school, it should be those schools that are actually smaller in size in terms of their facility,” she said in the candidate forum. “We can turn a potential high school into a (grades) 7-12 campus and still be able to attract students in that way. We also need to make sure that they have the programs to do so because making sure that we have something that’s competitive, that you can get students to college or prepared for the workforce is absolutely key.” Rhodes: Enrollment, financial aspects, other pathways. “We want to look at and see if it’s a school that is costing us more to keep open than it’s generating,” he said in the candidate forum. “But we’re looking at alternatives. Is it a school that we can look to increase some other programs to bring enrollment in or do we want to make the effort and try to expand where population is growing?” Romero: Enrollment, school location, compatibility with other schools. To be consolidated, schools need a community bridge to become higher performing schools, he said. “I think people overlook how much community plays a part,” he said in the candidate forum. “Again, we have to look at the numbers, logistics.” The post Val Romero appeared first on AZ Luminaria. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6accd9dd75342cf4db8f30be Ben Affleck has blunt response to teenage son's Lamborghini request after infamous mishap te 2026-10-12T13:00:13.230Z Ben Affleck has blunt response to teenage son's Lamborghini request after infamous mishap Ben Affleck's son Samuel appears to have developed a taste for Lamborghinis, four years after he accidentally backed one into another luxury car. During a recent appearance on his "Animals" co-star Kerry Washington's podcast, "Street You Grew Up On," the 54-year-old actor said that Samuel, 14, inherited his affinity for luxury items. Affleck, who shares three children including Samuel, Violet, 20, and Fin, 17, with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, told Washington that he recently shut down his son's request to buy him a Lamborghini. BEN AFFLECK ADMITS HIS TEENAGER ROASTED HIS DATING HISTORY WHILE AT DINNER "I see my son now, you know, and he's a lot like me," Affleck said. "And it makes me realize — because my older two ones — they kind of spoiled me because they're like, 'No, we don't want this. We don't want that.' They're like, aversive." "My son's like, ‘Dad, you should get a Lambo,’" the Oscar winner recalled with a laugh. "'What? A Lambo? Are you f---ing crazy? Am I an a--hole in a yellow Lamborghini driving around like at the club?' He's like, 'Yeah.'" ROB LOWE SAYS SON WAS MUGGED AT KNIFEPOINT AFTER IGNORING DAD'S NYC WARNING "No. No!" Affleck exclaimed as Washington laughed. Samuel was previously involved in a mishap with a yellow Lamborghini while visiting 777 Exotics, a luxury car rental dealership in the Los Angeles area, with his father and Affleck's then-fiancée, Jennifer Lopez, in June 2022. At the time, Affleck allowed Samuel, then 10, to sit in the driver's seat of a bright yellow Lamborghini SUV before the boy accidentally put the car into reverse and backed into a white BMW. Samuel was photographed jumping out of the Lamborghini to inspect the vehicles, while Affleck also checked for damage. The "Gone Girl" star was later photographed hugging Samuel while talking with Lopez, whom he married in July 2022. The former couple finalized their divorce in January 2025. The vehicle involved in Samuel's incident was a Lamborghini Urus, which rented for $1,475 per day and was valued at $250,000 at the time, according to the New York Post. At the time, representatives for Affleck and 777 Exotics both told the New York Post there was no damage to either vehicle. An employee at the rental dealership also said there were no hard feelings following the fender-bender. KRISTIN CAVALLARI ADMITS HER KIDS FLY COACH WHILE SHE SITS IN FIRST CLASS "Affleck loves cars," the dealership employee told the New York Post. "We hope they come in again." The Lamborghini isn't the first high-priced item to catch Samuel's eye.  In March 2025, an exchange between Affleck and Samuel made headlines after Samuel was filmed admiring a $6,000 pair of Dior x Nike Air Jordan 1 sneakers in a video shared on Instagram. MARK WAHLBERG ADMITS HOLLYWOOD FAME COMES WITH ‘BAGGAGE’ FOR HIS KIDS In the clip, Affleck and Samuel browsed sneakers at a convention, where Samuel spotted the Dior shoes. After seeing the $6,000 price tag, Affleck told his son, "That's a lot of lawns you gotta mow there." During an interview with Access Hollywood later that month, Affleck joked about the viral video. MICHAEL DOUGLAS SAYS KIRK DOUGLAS GAVE HIM $10,000 AT 21 AND TOLD HIM HE WAS ON HIS OWN "That's what happens when you tell a motherf---er they have to mow a lawn," he told the outlet. "All of a sudden they don't want those shoes, and he was like, ‘But I always said they were tough.’" "It's always some grift why I need to be … I'm like, 'Man, you do not need thousand-dollar shoes!' He's like, 'We have the money.' I'm like, 'I have the money, you're broke!'" Affleck quipped. Affleck co-parents his three children with Garner, whom he was married to from 2005 to 2018. During an April 2025 appearance on "Today with Jenna & Friends," Affleck explained how he was teaching his children that they shouldn't expect handouts from their famous parents. Affleck explained that he wants his children to understand the value of hard work. "You love your kids. You want to give them everything and do everything for them, but I think you definitely do them a disservice by not connecting [if] you want something that you want, you have to work for that," he said. During a recent appearance on "Late Night with Seth Meyers," Affleck said that his children don't care about his Hollywood success. "I remember when my daughter was born, right around the time I directed my first movie and I had a bunch of movies that didn't work and was very uncool and felt kind of despised and thought like, 'God, I really want to make my kids proud with my career,'" he recalled. "And as I've gotten older, my kids have gotten older, what I realized is, they don't give a s---," he continued as the audience laughed. "They really don't care," he added. "The most cool thing I've ever done, in my kids' eyes, is, like, become a meme." In December 2020, Affleck was photographed struggling to carry several Dunkin' iced coffees and a box of Munchkins outside his Los Angeles home. The photos went viral and inspired memes, with social media users joking that Affleck's exasperated expression summed up the frustrations of 2020.

During the interview with Meyers, Affleck recalled asking his children why they were impressed by his Dunkin' meme. "I'm like, 'Why is that cool? Like, because I'm spilling a coffee?'" he recalled. "They're like, 'You're relevant.'" LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS "I'm like, 'I'm relevant for being this beleaguered, depressed man,'" Affleck quipped.

Several games came down to the wire, a few miscues led to losses and even ties and there were clutch moments that made Sunday exciting. At least five touchdown catches during the slate of games were worth highlighting. The Jacksonville Jaguars’ Parker Washington, Minnesota Vikings’ Justin Jefferson, Green Bay Packers’ Christian Watson, Cincinnati Bengals’ Ja’Marr Chase and Arizona Cardinals’ Trey McBride each made scoring grabs that may make the highlight reel once Week 18 is all over. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Let’s take a look at some of those plays that left you hooting and hollering from the couch. The Jaguars needed to make a play late in their game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Time was of the essence as Philadelphia owned a 14-10 lead late in the game. With 3:20 left, Trevor Lawrence found Parker Washington going up the sideline. Lawrence threw a pass on 4th-and-5 only Washington would be able to catch. The wide receiver leaped from the 2-yard line, made a one-handed grab around an Eagles defender and landed in the end zone. Jacksonville took a 16-14 lead at that point. The Eagles were able to march down the field and take the lead back thanks to a Jake Elliott 48-yard field goalwith 8 seconds left in the game. But a special teams miscue allowed the Jaguars to move the ball up the field and set Cam Little up for the game-winning 57-yard field goal. Washington finished with six catches for 124 yards and two touchdowns. Justin Jefferson’s touchdown might not have been as clutch as Washington’s but it was just as pretty. The Vikings trailed the New Orleans Saints 7-6 in the third quarter and had the ball in the red zone. Kyler Murray batted the ball and found Jefferson in the end zone. A Saints defender misjudged the ball and it landed in the hands of Jefferson. Somehow, Jefferson was able to fall backward and still make the catch with three New Orleans players around him. The touchdown gave the Vikings the lead at that point. Minnesota held on for the 23-13 victory. Jefferson finished with six catches for 79 yards and a touchdown. If you just looked at the scoreboard and thought the Packers completely owned the Chicago Bears, you would have never guessed Green Bay only led by a touchdown coming out of halftime. That all changed thanks to the connection between Jordan Love and Christian Watson. On 3rd-and-22, Love dropped back to pass and launched the football 53 yards and found Watson in the back of the end zone. Watson made the catch on top of the Bears defender’s head and stayed in bounds. Green Bay took a 21-7 lead and didn’t look back. The Packers won 31-7. Watson finished with six catches for 143 yards and two touchdowns.

The Dolphins clawed their way back in the fourth quarter but couldn’t do enough to force overtime. Cincinnati won the game 31-24. As the Bengals were rolling in the middle of the game, Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase hooked up for a big touchdown. Burrow found Chase in the end zone late in the third quarter. The catch was far from routine. Chase had a Dolphins defensive back on him. He was able to box him out around the 1-yard line and twist his way into the end zone for the magnificent touchdown. The 45-yard touchdown proved to be crucial in the Bengals’ win. Chase had six catches for 77 yards and the score. Each of the four catches mentioned previously came in wins. The touchdown grabs played a significant part in those teams’ victories on Sunday. Generally, the good teams will find a way to win no matter the obstacle they have to overcome to get it. It was a little different in Arizona. Jacoby Brissett and the Cardinals were in garbage time against the Detroit Lions, trying to salvage some points as to not make the blowout look worse than it was. Brissett was in the red zone when he found Trey McBride with a smidge of opportunity to make a catch. The star tight end went over one defender, tipped the ball to himself and was able to get both feet down to make the catch. McBride finished with nine catches for 66 yards and the touchdown. The Lions won the game 45-21. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6accd9da75342cf4db8f30ac GREGG JARRETT: Trump was framed by the Russia collusion hoax. Now the whole story is exposed te 2026-10-12T13:00:10.532Z GREGG JARRETT: Trump was framed by the Russia collusion hoax. Now the whole story is exposed PROGRAMMING ALERT: Watch the Fox Nation three-part documentary series, "Russia! Russia! Russia! The Plot to Stop Trump." All three episodes premiere on Fox’s streaming network on Monday, Oct. 12, 2026. It was the dirtiest trick ever perpetrated in politics that produced the greatest mass delusion in American history. It was a faux scandal and an epic con job, corrupt from the outset. Fox Nation has produced a remarkable three-part documentary series, "Russia! Russia! Russia! The Plot to Stop Trump." All three episodes premiere on Fox’s streaming network on Monday, Oct. 12, 2026. It tells the gripping story of lies and lying people. The damning narrative that Donald Trump somehow colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 presidential election, you’ll recall, consumed the media landscape for more than two years and dominated political discourse. It nearly brought down a duly elected president. GREGG JARRETT: LONG-HIDDEN DOCUMENTS REVEAL FIRST TRUMP IMPEACHMENT WAS A TOTAL FRAUD So stunning was the abuse of power that this series must be seen to be believed. It is based on troves of recently disclosed government records and other declassified documents. Without a shred of credible evidence, Trump was convicted in the court of public opinion by Democrats and their handmaidens in the press who never bothered to uncover the truth or examine the facts. Such trivialities did not stop them from promising Americans that the newly elected president was surely guilty and would be wrested from the Oval Office on his way to prison. EX-OBAMA SPY CHIEF PREPPED FOR ANTI-TRUMP TRIAL BY BIDEN-ERA SPECIAL COUNSEL'S TEAM, NEW RECORDS REVEAL The pernicious lie that Trump conspired with Vladimir Putin in the bowels of the Kremlin to tamper with the election was the brainchild of Hillary Clinton’s campaign team. The odious fiction was devised as a way to distract from Clinton’s burgeoning email scandal and the wealth of Russian rubles funneled to her own foundation. Unearthed documents show that Hillary personally approved the scheme to frame her opponent while her campaign and the Democratic National Committee covertly financed the invention of a phony dossier composed by an ex-British spy named Christopher Steele. It was then brokered to solicitous collaborators at the FBI, CIA, the Department of Justice, and sympathetic reporters. READ THE DOCUMENTS: SECRET ‘OXFERD COMMA’ PROBE CAST TRUMP AS POTENTIAL RUSSIAN ASSET AFTER COMEY FIRING This part of the outlandish tale unfolds in Episode One, "Steele Trap." The plot thickens when Clinton’s smear is discovered by CIA Director John Brennan, who rushed to the White House to alert then-President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, FBI Director James Comey and others. Handwritten notes from the participants at two successive meetings confirm what happened. SECRET FBI PROBE CAST TRUMP AS POSSIBLE RUSSIAN ASSET AFTER COMEY FIRING, MEMOS SHOW Instead of telling the truth to the American people and Congress, Obama and his confederates concealed it. Then, armed with the bogus dossier, they exploited it as a pretext to implicate Trump as a Russian asset, knowing full well that he was not. Deliberate leaks to the Trump-hating media ignited the collusion fuse. They treated it as sacred gospel, and the hoax took off like a rocket. KASH PATEL ACCUSES FBI OF LYING TO OBTAIN WARRANTS USED TO ILLEGALLY SPY ON TRUMP'S 2016 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN Episode Two, "Insurance Agent," unravels the clandestine machinations of then-FBI Agent Peter Strzok, who led the bureau’s investigation despite expressing virulently anti-Trump bias in endless text messages to his lover, FBI lawyer Lisa Page. Their obscenity-laced comments denigrated Trump while exalting Clinton. There was nothing remotely objective, neutral or fair about the FBI’s probe. It was a rigged witch hunt. In one "smoking gun" communication, Strzok assured Page that the investigation itself and its incendiary impact would serve as an "insurance policy" to bring down Trump. Strzok seemed to view himself as the noble savior of the Republic. FBI’S ‘CLEVER’ TRUMP-RUSSIA PROBE CODE NAME IGNITES SUSPICION SOMETHING DEEPER WAS AT PLAY "Trick or Treat" rounds out the third episode as Trump’s enemies race the countdown clock to Election Day, seeking a secret, albeit legally flawed, warrant to spy. They also pursued a screwball allegation that Trump communicated with Moscow through a hidden computer server in the basement of his eponymous tower in Manhattan. Like so many of the other deceitful accusations, it was conjured up from the rich imagination of Clinton sycophants determined to do anything to stop Trump. Data and documents were misrepresented to suggest wrongdoing where none actually existed. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION Along the way, the CIA, FBI and other intel agencies followed orders from the outgoing president to significantly alter key intelligence before Inauguration Day in a diabolical effort to implicate his successor as a Russian stooge. This malignant force of unelected officials connived to vilify Trump. Documents prove they relied almost entirely on the discredited dossier that they knew was a sham and deftly manipulated it as a political cudgel to bludgeon him. In the end, it didn’t work. As the nation held its breath, special counsel Robert Mueller and his team of partisans spent 22 months trying in vain to dredge up some plausible evidence of election interference by Trump. But there was nothing to find. There was never a Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy. There was, however, an elaborate conspiracy to falsely accuse him of collusion. Trump was set up and framed. But this — the most important part of the story — Mueller ignored. Behind every sordid conspiracy, there is a riveting story waiting to be told. The Fox Nation special, "Russia! Russia! Russia! The Plot to Stop Trump," is an absorbing dive into staggering corruption and abuses of power at the highest levels of government. The cesspool is so shocking to the conscience and hard to fathom that you may not believe it until you see it for yourself.

Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, was raided early Monday morning by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), a source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital. The raid stems from a criminal fraud investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman's immigration paperwork, which was filled out by her late father when she was a child.  Two sources close to the investigation confirmed the details of the probe Thursday, after border czar Tom Homan said in mid-September that the progressive congresswoman was subject to an ongoing "criminal" investigation. "Today in the Washington, D.C., area, Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice. This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal investigation," a DOJ spokesperson told Fox News Digital. Multiple agents with HSI jackets were seen outside Omar's Washington, D.C. home in the early hours of Monday.  HSI is the principal investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Its scope includes investigating cross-border crime and global threats, including human trafficking and child sexual exploitation, drug smuggling and cybercrime. HSI plays a major front-line role in America’s counterterrorism operations.  This story is developing. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6accce2075342cf4db8f2da3 Drag queens, trans pastor, abortion rallies: Inside Dem governor hopeful's progressive church te 2026-10-12T12:10:08.849Z Drag queens, trans pastor, abortion rallies: Inside Dem governor hopeful's progressive church In one of the most hotly contested governor's races in the country, the Democratic nominee has been working overtime to cultivate a moderate image — while reportedly attending a church that openly embraces some of the progressive causes dividing voters in Iowa. Rob Sand, Iowa’s state auditor and its Democratic nominee for governor, regularly attended Plymouth Congregational United Church of Christ, located in the state’s capital, as of late 2025, according to a local journalist. Over the years, Plymouth has hosted and promoted drag queen performances, invited a transgender pastor to serve as a guest pastor and openly supported abortion. Sand has emphasized his faith on the campaign trail, repeatedly referencing Christianity and quoting scripture, at times successfully appealing to otherwise conservative Iowans. In addition to leaning on his faith, Sand has repeatedly described himself as independently minded, claimed to have voted for Republicans in the past and said that he sometimes prefers working with the GOP over Democrats, calling political parties "poison." "I am a Christian. I’m a conservative. But I’m not a party-based person," one voter is quoted as saying in a Sand press release. "I like to vote for the person as opposed to the party. And to me, (Sand) just seems really honest and down to earth. And I enjoyed him." IOWA GUBERNATORIAL HOPEFUL ZACH LAHN TELLS 'RUTHLESS' DEMOCRATS ARE HIDING THEIR BAD POLICIES Sand's reported church attendance, however, connects him to a congregation whose progressive religious and political positions stand in contrast to the moderate image he has emphasized on the campaign trail. Sand’s church is open about its progressive slant, with its "about" page featuring an image of churchgoers at a gay pride parade, noting that the church does not take the Bible literally and stating that it "has been an LGBTQ+ Open and Affirming congregation for more than 30 years." An image of the church included in a profile compiled by the United Church of Christ shows it flying a pride flag on its grounds, noting that the church "is a progressive powerhouse in the region." "Rob Sand goes to church weekly and does so in Iowa, unlike Zach Lahn. Rob’s faith is deeply important to him, and like many, he has never found a church where he agrees with everything, but does prefer traditional services with liturgy and classic hymns," a spokeswoman for his campaign told Fox News Digital. "Rob has always been independent-minded, and he isn’t going to take lessons in morality from a sex toy salesman who lives in Kansas." The mention of sex toys was a reference to FirmTech, a company that manufactures wearable sexual wellness devices and once counted GOP gubernatorial nominee Zach Lahn as an investor. Lahn maintains that the product was originally developed to monitor cardiovascular health and that he divested before the company shifted toward more sexually suggestive marketing. Sand has also pointed to Lahn's regular flights to Kansas, arguing that they betray tenuous ties to the state he's seeking to govern. Lahn, meanwhile, says that he lives full time in Iowa, explaining that the flights are a product of him needing to shuttle children from a previous marriage between the two states. Lahn's campaign did not divulge where he attends church when asked by Fox News Digital. LGBTQ GROUP REVEALS WHICH DEM NOMINEE IS SPONSORING HALLOWEEN EVENT FEATURING DRAG SHOWS Plymouth’s progressive reputation is well earned. In May 2025, Plymouth hosted drag queen "Flamy Grant" for a concert, according to advertisements for the event, bringing an artist whose broader catalog includes sexually explicit lyrics to the progressive Des Moines congregation. In one song, titled "Take a Chance on Me," not to be confused with the ABBA classic of the same name, Grant sings "I’m a patient lover unless I finish first. And I expect you [to] finish me if the roles are reversed. I maintain the mystery of my sexual history." In another song, the drag queen complained about his childhood church, stating that "I guess the lesson there was God would only hear a prayer If it came from a person with a c*ck." The song continues to state that "secretly most men just fear the snatch" and praises Eve for disobeying God by eating the forbidden fruit. POWERFUL LGBTQ+ GROUP'S ENDORSEMENTS COULD TANK VULNERABLE DEMS OVER RADICAL YOUTH TRANS AGENDA About a year later, Plymouth promoted a drag event on its Facebook page at a nearby church billed as a "family-friendly karaoke fundraiser" headlined by drag queen "Tess Tura." Tura hosts a podcast where, among other topics, unprotected gay sex is discussed. In a similar vein, Plymouth invited transgender pastor Paula Stone Williams to serve as a guest pastor for one weekend in 2023, according to a local media report. At the time, Williams had recently published a book titled "As a Woman: What I learned about power, sex, and the patriarchy after I transitioned." VULNERABLE DEM'S CAMPAIGN PITCH CLASHES WITH 'RADICAL' VOTING RECORD ON TOP CULTURE WAR ISSUE Some of Plymouth’s pro-LGBTQ advocacy is directed at young children. Plymouth disclosed in a 2025 job posting that it partners with the Rainbow Faith Coalition, a group that says "LGBTQ+ identities are God-given, honored and celebrated," and that "[f]ully living into these identities in name, pronoun, relationship and gender expression is not a barrier to participation … in any areas of the faith community," including children’s programming and education. The church also offers Our Whole Lives programming, a sexuality education curriculum co-published by the Unitarian Universalist Association and the United Church of Christ, with classes beginning in first grade that address topics including sexuality, relationships, gender identity and sexual health." "This is disturbing material, but it’s right in line with Rob Sand’s liberal views. If you believe men can become women, then what’s to stop you from teaching it to schoolchildren? Values matter and Rob’s values are NOT Iowa values." Similar to its theology, the church’s politics are decidedly liberal. TOP CONSERVATIVE GROUP UNVEILS FULL-COURT PRESS IN KEY BATTLEGROUND STATE TO EXPOSE ‘SHOCKING’ DEM PLATFORM In February 2025, for example, Plymouth’s pastors joined a protest in Iowa’s statehouse "to pray and stand up for our trans and gender nonconforming friends and neighbors," per a post on the church's Facebook page. A few years prior, church leadership participated in a pro-LGBTQ rally outside the statehouse, according to another church Facebook post. "Plymouth’s bold social justice presence is a hallmark in the community and is often cited as a reason for new members joining the congregation," a church job posting from 2025 reads. "We are committed to advancing justice, equity, and compassion in and beyond our community." Indeed, as the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, Plymouth mobilized to fight against pro-life legislation, supporting those fighting for "reproductive healthcare" and referring to women as "all who hold the potential to bear life." The church held a prayer vigil in support of abortion in May 2022 and rallied at the state capital in July 2023 to protest against efforts to regulate abortion. After former President Joe Biden became the first president to formally recognize Transgender Day of Visibility in 2021, Plymouth followed his lead by sending Facebook messages to its followers observing Transgender Day of Visibility and Transgender Day of Remembrance between 2021 and 2023. "This is disturbing material, but it’s right in line with Rob Sand’s liberal views. If you believe men can become women, then what’s to stop you from teaching it to schoolchildren?" a spokesperson for the Lahn campaign told Fox News Digital. "Values matter and Rob’s values are NOT Iowa values."

Green Oceans, a Rhode Island-based environmental organization, announced the discovery of what it believes is the F/V Mistress in the waters off Block Island in September. The vessel sank Jan. 1, 2019, according to the organization.  118-YEAR-OLD MYSTERY CRACKED AS DIVERS DISCOVER LOST WARSHIP BENEATH THE WAVES Two fishermen died in the incident, and the U.S. Coast Guard searched for the vessel following the sinking but never located the wreckage. The F/V Mistress was discovered approximately 92 feet underwater, just 50 feet from the base of a wind turbine at the Block Island Wind Farm, according to Green Oceans. The organization reported that "apparent human remains" were also found at the site. Michael Lombardi, president of Green Oceans, told Fox News Digital his organization began searching for the vessel after receiving tips from two contractors who had previously worked near turbine No. 1 at the Block Island Wind Farm. One contractor reported hearing rumors of underwater wreckage — while another claimed to have personally spotted wreckage while conducting survey work at the site. YOUNG NEWLYWEDS KILLED AFTER BOAT COLLIDES WITH WATER TAXI AND SINKS IN VENICE LAGOON Lombardi said he later reviewed the Coast Guard's original accident report and plotted GPS coordinates associated with distress calls and other key details, which pointed investigators toward the turbine. "Once plotted on a map, it became obvious where the search area should be focused, and it coincided perfectly with turbine 1," Lombardi said. When asked by Fox News Digital how confident he was that the wreck was the F/V Mistress, Lombardi replied, "100%." He added, "The dive team studied images of the vessel prior to diving the site, and were focused on finding key identifying features. … One striking item was the net drum. It has several unique features." CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER Tim Diaz, who survived the sinking, confirmed that the net drum belonged to the Mistress, according to Lombardi.  Diaz built the equipment himself. The mystery isn't over — and Lombardi said there is still some "uncertainty" about what happened in the vessel's final moments, though he said it was undoubtedly in distress. "Based on the orientation of the wreckage on the bottom, there is reason to investigate whether an avoidance maneuver to starboard was made in an attempt to avoid a collision with the turbine," he said. "With the hull full of water, this maneuver could have ultimately caused the vessel to roll and then sink." CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE NEWS Lombardi said he hopes federal authorities will reopen the investigation to determine whether the two fishermen who died remain within the wreckage or were swept out to sea, and whether such a maneuver contributed to the sinking. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ "The USCG and all agencies involved do tremendous work to protect mariners out on the water," Lombardi said, adding that he hopes the discovery will help answer lingering questions about the tragedy. As Green Oceans focuses on the environmental and maritime safety impacts of offshore wind development, Lombardi said the discovery could have implications for future permitting decisions. "Had this accident been fully investigated in 2019, while having the vessel wreckage, the offshore wind permitting landscape would have been quite different with regard to safety considerations along the continental shelf," he said.

"I think that was a front for him," Julius Windham said Sunday while standing at a memorial for the victims, including his 1-year-old daughter, Amarianna, her pregnant mother, the woman’s 5-year-old son and her unborn baby. "Him every day, him smiling and being just — you would think of nothing like that would happen," Windham said. NINE PEOPLE KILLED IN PENNSYLVANIA SHOOTING; SUSPECTED GUNMAN FOUND DEAD: REPORT The 45-year-old gunman died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound after the Friday evening shooting, Erie Police Chief Rick Lorah said. Authorities have not publicly identified the shooter or the victims, but Lorah said the gunman was related to seven of the eight people killed. The eighth victim was a friend of the pregnant woman. Nicole and Debra Eller, whose best friend was among the victims, said they had known the family for more than 30 years. Nicole Eller said the shooter "was a good guy, and then he started going downhill with everything." "They were a lovely family. Who would have thought this would ever happen?" Debra Eller said. "Oh my gosh, this is so upsetting. This should have never happened to her or the kids or anybody. His grandchildren, his kids, how can you do that?" IOWA MAN SUSPECTED OF KILLING 6 FAMILY MEMBERS IN 'ACT OF EVIL' Mourners gathered Sunday outside the home where the shooting unfolded, leaving candles, flowers and stuffed animals. Windham wore a T-shirt showing photos of the women and children killed, along with the words, "Forever In My Heart." "Words can’t even explain what I’m going through right now," Windham said. "But I gotta be strong for my community, you know what I’m saying? My family, my daughters, my sons, everybody." Investigators recovered video and audio evidence that included muffled gunshots from inside the home shortly before two "distressed" women arrived and began pounding on the door, Lorah said. The gunman then came outside and shot the women as they ran toward him before returning inside. MONTANA MAN WHO KILLED 4 CHILDREN, 4 OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS AT SUNDAY DINNER WAS ASKED TO MOVE OUT: RELATIVE Officers arrived within minutes after receiving an alert through ShotSpotter, a gunshot-detection system, police said. No additional shots were fired after police arrived, Lorah said, adding that sounds later mistaken for gunfire came from flashbang devices used by SWAT officers. Responding officers found the two women dead outside the home. After deploying a drone and robot, police entered and found the bodies of the 5-year-old boy and 1-year-old girl on the first floor; two more women and two young men in a stairwell; and the shooter on the second floor. "Out of respect for the victims and the families, I will not discuss the details of what our officers encountered inside that home," Lorah said at a news conference. "But I want our community to understand the gravity of what happened and the profound impact this tragedy has had on those involved and on our community as a whole." 8 FAMILY MEMBERS, INCLUDING 6 CHILDREN, FOUND DEAD IN MICHIGAN FIRE; AT LEAST ONE VICTIM SHOT: POLICE Lorah declined to discuss a possible motive but suggested mental health could be a factor. He said investigators would interview relatives and examine the cellphones of the women who were killed outside the home. "They knew something was going on at that house," Lorah said. "We have to figure out what that is." Lorah said the scene was devastating for first responders. "Some scenes stay with you long after you leave them. This is one of those tragic scenes," he said. DISPATCH AUDIO RELEASED IN MICHIGAN FAMILY MURDER-SUICIDE AS TROUBLED FAMILY'S SECRETS EMERGE Erie Mayor Daria Devlin said the police department "arrived at a horrific scene, faced unimaginable circumstances, and carried out their duties with courage and professionalism." "They too are members of this community, and they too will carry the weight of what happened last night," Devlin said at a Saturday news conference, addressing the victims’ families directly: "I am so deeply sorry. What happened to you was horrific, and there is nothing that any of us can say today that will make this any easier. "Our entire community is with you, we’re grieving with you. And we are here to support you." Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said he spoke with Devlin and offered his administration’s "full support" after what he called "the tragic mass shooting." Speaking later at a campaign rally outside Philadelphia, Shapiro also referenced the shooting of two Philadelphia police officers earlier Saturday. PHILADELPHIA POLICE OFFICER KILLED, PARTNER SHOT 12 TIMES IN AMBUSH; SUSPECT FOUND HIDING IN TREE "Today has been a dark day across this commonwealth," Shapiro said. District Attorney Elizabeth Hirz urged the public not to spread unverified information while investigators continue their work.

Kodiak AI plans to start hauling IKEA products between the Dallas and Houston areas later this year with nobody in the cab. The company has spent years preparing for this step, but removing the safety observer changes the equation. What happens if something breaks while the truck is moving at highway speed? Is someone secretly driving it from a control room? How does it react to a police car or ambulance? And, yes, I wanted to know what keeps a hacker from getting anywhere near something as important as the steering or brakes. So, I took those questions directly to Kodiak founder and CEO Don Burnette to find out how the company says these driverless trucks will handle them. PILOTLESS CARGO AIRCRAFT COULD CHANGE HOW PACKAGES MOVE Join us for a free CyberGuy LIVE class. Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson shares practical ways to stay safer, smarter and more confident with technology. Explore classes on stopping spam, phone security, financial protection and using AI to get better healthcare. Each class is free, easy to follow and comes with a free printable checklist. See the classes and register at CyberGuyLive.com. "The decision to remove the driver isn't based on any single test or milestone," Burnette told CyberGuy. "It's the result of years of operating experience, rigorous validation and a clear safety case that gives us a clear, evidence-based framework for determining when the Kodiak Driver is ready to operate safely without anyone in the cab." Kodiak calls its autonomous driving system the Kodiak Driver. The company also uses something called an Autonomy Readiness Measure, or ARM, to track its progress toward running long-haul trucks without anyone aboard. As of the end of September, Kodiak said 96% of the claims and evidence required for its long-haul safety case were materially complete, up from 93% at the end of August. The remaining work includes engineering verification, validation and final safety assessments. Kodiak expects to complete that work before launching driverless long-haul service by the end of 2026. The company also has experience running trucks commercially with empty cabs. Kodiak-powered trucks have been operating for Atlas Energy Solutions in the Permian Basin without anyone aboard since December 2024. Burnette says that by the end of the second quarter, 35 driverless trucks were operating there commercially and had logged more than 40,000 hours of paid driverless operations. To put things in perspective, that is the equivalent of more than 4 ½ years of nonstop driving. So, the IKEA route will take Kodiak into a different setting, but removing the driver itself will not be new territory for the company. I asked Burnette what drivers on I-45 will actually notice once the new service starts. His answer was pretty straightforward. "The biggest difference is that there won't be anyone in the cab," he said. The driverless section will cover 219 miles, primarily along Interstate 45 between Kodiak facilities in the Dallas and Houston areas. That stretch is part of a longer 292-mile delivery route connecting IKEA's distribution center in Baytown with its store in Frisco. Kodiak has been carrying IKEA products along the route for four years with a safety observer aboard. During that time, the companies have also been figuring out the less obvious parts of running autonomous freight, such as when trucks should leave, when they will reach the destination and how maintenance should be scheduled. The trucks themselves have redundancy systems built into safety-critical components including braking, steering, power and computing. "From the outside, the drive itself should look pretty boring, and that's exactly what we want," Burnette said. "The Kodiak Driver is designed to be predictable, courteous, conservative and defensive." Frankly, boring is exactly what I think we all want from a giant truck with nobody sitting behind the wheel. This was high on my list of questions. "We've designed the Kodiak Driver around the idea that something will eventually go wrong, whether that's a mechanical issue, a damaged sensor or an unexpected situation on the road," Burnette said. "The important thing is that the truck already knows what to do when that happens." Burnette says the Kodiak Driver continuously monitors more than 1,000 safety-critical components across the truck, its sensors, hardware and autonomy software. If the system detects a serious issue, it can switch from normal driving into what Kodiak calls a fallback maneuver. That process is designed to bring the truck to a controlled stop in a safe location. Kodiak also puts limits around where and under what conditions the truck can operate. In the autonomous vehicle world, that is called an Operational Design Domain, or ODD. You can think of the ODD as the truck's approved operating boundaries. If the situation falls outside what the system has been designed and tested to handle, Burnette says the truck can fall back rather than continuing as though nothing has changed. DOORDASH GETS FAA APPROVAL FOR ITS OWN DELIVERY DRONES No one will be in the cab, but people will still be watching what is happening. Kodiak has a command center just south of Dallas. However, Burnette does not describe those workers as remote drivers waiting to take control. If the Kodiak Driver runs into a situation it cannot safely resolve, it can activate its fallback system and then, as Burnette puts it, "call home for help." The command center can provide guidance about what the truck should do next. That is different from a person taking over the steering wheel from miles away. "We use redundant communications channels to ensure we remain in contact with the truck, but if connectivity is lost, the Kodiak Driver still has to be able to respond safely on its own," Burnette said. That last part is especially important. If the cellular or communications connection goes down, the truck cannot simply sit there waiting for someone at the command center to tell it what to do. Kodiak says the vehicle still has to get itself into a safe state. Highway driving involves situations that go well beyond staying between the lane lines. Police pull vehicles over. Ambulances approach from behind. Accident scenes can suddenly change the flow of traffic. A truck with nobody in the cab still has to recognize what is happening around it and respond. Kodiak says its autonomous system is designed to identify emergency vehicles, stopped vehicles, lane closures and accident scenes. The system can slow down or move over when appropriate. The company has also spent time working directly with first responders. Kodiak employs a retired California Highway Patrol officer who works with law enforcement on how to interact with driverless trucks. The company also has a written First Responder Interaction Plan that explains what responders should do if they encounter one of its vehicles. Another piece of technology comes into play if a Kodiak truck stops along the road. Kodiak has integrated HAAS Alert's Safety Cloud. That system can send digital warnings about a stopped truck to nearby motorists through compatible navigation apps and vehicle systems. You knew I was going to ask this one. Once software has control of an 18-wheeler, cybersecurity becomes a major part of the conversation. I asked Burnette what keeps someone from hacking into a truck and interfering with systems like the steering or brakes. "Cybersecurity is something we take very seriously," he said. Burnette says cybersecurity is one of six pillars in Kodiak's safety case. The company says its approach follows guidance from the National Institute of Standards and Technology and vehicle cybersecurity best practices from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. But the part that really stood out to me was how Burnette described limiting access to the truck. "First, we've minimized the number of ways into the truck," he said. "We limit data entry points to only what's necessary, and we isolate safety-critical functions like steering and braking from external communications." That isolation is important because communication with the outside world should not provide a direct doorway into critical driving systems. Burnette says Kodiak also monitors for threats and maintains an incident response process. Burnette also addressed what happens if the truck loses connectivity. "The truck's safety doesn't depend on connectivity, and it's designed to bring itself to a safe stop if something isn't right," Burnette said. No connected vehicle comes with a promise that hackers will never target it. That is why I will be watching how these protections hold up as more driverless trucks begin traveling public highways. AUTONOMOUS EXCAVATORS ARE DIGGING WITH EMPTY CABS With a traditional truck, investigators can look at what the person behind the wheel did before a crash. But what happens when nobody was behind the wheel? I asked Burnette who would ultimately be responsible if a driverless Kodiak truck were involved in an accident. "Responsibility for a driverless vehicle works similarly to responsibility for any vehicle: it depends on the circumstances surrounding the crash," he said. Burnette says Kodiak trucks have more than a dozen sensors aboard. Those sensors can give the company a detailed record of what happened around the vehicle. That information could be especially useful when investigators need to reconstruct the moments leading up to a crash. I wanted to push on the limits too. Autonomous driving companies spend plenty of time telling us what their technology can do. I think it is just as useful to ask what it cannot do. Burnette pointed back to the Operational Design Domain. "The Kodiak Driver is designed to operate under specific conditions," he said. "If the truck leaves its ODD, it will simply achieve a fallback. That's intentional." At launch, Burnette says the ODD will cover the Dallas-Houston corridor. Kodiak plans to expand the operating area during 2027 and beyond. This may be the biggest question of all for someone who makes a living driving a truck. If a semi can travel hundreds of highway miles without a person in the cab, what happens to the person who used to sit there? "We see autonomous trucks supplementing the workload rather than eliminating the need for them," Burnette said. Burnette also explained why Kodiak is targeting this type of work. "Our focus is on the long, repetitive highway miles that can keep drivers away from home for days or weeks at a time," Burnette told CyberGuy. There is still a much larger question about what happens if driverless freight eventually spreads across the country. Companies could change the way they divide routes and use drivers. Some jobs could change with them. We will know much more once autonomous trucking gets beyond a limited number of routes and starts becoming part of larger freight networks. The part I keep coming back to is that there will actually be nobody in the cab. Kodiak has spent four years hauling IKEA freight on this route with a safety observer aboard. Taking that person out changes the stakes, especially when you are talking about an 18-wheeler traveling alongside the rest of us on a busy interstate. I also give Burnette credit for answering our tougher questions. What happens when something breaks? Can somebody remotely drive it? How are the steering and brakes protected from hackers? Kodiak has built systems around each of those concerns, but now comes the test that counts. Once these trucks start piling up driverless highway miles with nobody there to step in, we will get a much clearer idea of how ready this technology really is. Would you feel comfortable driving next to an 18-wheeler with nobody behind the wheel, or would you keep your distance until driverless trucks have a much longer safety record?

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6accc01275342cf4db8f2b24 Americans clash over Supreme Court expansion as fight over 9 justices heats up: ‘Let’s pack it now’ te 2026-10-12T11:10:10.674Z Americans clash over Supreme Court expansion as fight over 9 justices heats up: ‘Let’s pack it now’ As lawmakers spar over whether to expand the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) beyond nine justices, Americans interviewed by Fox News Digital on Capitol Hill had competing views on whether the nation's highest court needs a shake-up at all. "If it's not broken, don't fix it," Tim from Washington, D.C., told Fox News Digital. "If you had more justices, you could have more differing opinions there," Derek, also from Washington, said. "So you'd have to have more of a consensus on whatever they're voting on." The debate comes after a Republican-backed constitutional amendment to permanently fix SCOTUS at nine justices failed in the House in September, falling short of the two-thirds majority required for passage. MORNING GLORY: DSA DEMOCRATS' RADICAL PLAN TO RESHAPE AMERICA STARTS WITH THE SUPREME COURT Democratic lawmakers have also introduced proposals to reshape the court, including legislation to expand its membership, establish term limits and impose additional ethics requirements. " If we're gonna change the size we need to do it now," said Carl from Texas. "If you're going to pack the court, let's pack it now. One person Fox News Digital spoke with questioned the motives behind efforts to increase the number of justices. "I think those who want to increase the size, maybe just have a bias to it, if it be Republican or Democrat," Tim said about the idea of expanding the number of justices. "I say just leave it as it is, man." JOHN YOO: THE LEFT'S SUPREME COURT PANIC COLLAPSES UNDER THE WEIGHT OF THE FACTS Democrats have become increasingly angry over many of the court’s votes, and many have alleged their rulings to be rooted in politics rather than law. "The more people weigh in, the more accurate the results would be, right?" an interviewee said. One also argued that while he would be in favor of potentially expanding SCOTUS, it would be dependent on how many additional justices were to be added. "It depends on how much more they add," Derek said. "One or two more doesn't seem like it's that much, but if they're like, ‘Double it.’ Well, starting to just kind of go overboard at that point." REPUBLICANS SOUND ALARM OVER HIDDEN MIDTERM STAKES THAT COULD RESHAPE SUPREME COURT FOR DECADES Several proposals by Democrats have been introduced to reshape SCOTUS, including legislation from Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, to expand the bench from nine to 13 justices, and a separate measure from Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., to establish 18-year terms of active service for newly appointed justices. "I think that more substantial change would be putting in term limits," Mark from Washington, D.C., said. "The size would allow for the next several presidents to appoint more people. I don't know that it changes the political bent of the current situation, whereas a term limits might be more effective." Other Democratic proposals would impose enforceable ethics standards and require greater transparency surrounding the court's emergency rulings, often referred to as its "shadow docket." Republicans argue Democrats’ proposals to overhaul SCOTUS is a reaction to the party’s anger for rulings not being in their favor. LIBERAL JUSTICE HAMMERS SUPREME COURT FOR FAST-TRACKING EMERGENCY DOCKET CASES House Republicans sought to permanently cap SCOTUS at nine justices, casting their proposed constitutional amendment to reject Democratic efforts to expand the court. It failed to secure the required two-thirds majority needed to pass the House. Amending the Constitution would then also require a two-thirds majority vote in the Senate and then ratification by three-fourths of the states. Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution establishes the Supreme Court but does not specify how many justices should serve on it, leaving Congress with the authority to determine its size. Congress initially established six seats under the Judiciary Act of 1789. The court's size changed several times throughout the 19th century, reaching as many as 10 justices before Congress established the current nine-justice structure in 1869.

The shift comes amid changing migration patterns across the country, with Internal Revenue Service data for 2022–2023 showing taxpayer losses across numerous California and Northeastern counties, while much of the Southeast recorded gains. Brandt believes Palm Beach County could become a major technology hub, citing its room for expansion as an advantage over more densely developed destinations. "We have tons of room to grow," she said, pointing to areas like Wellington and western Palm Beach County where new schools, hospitals and infrastructure could accommodate additional businesses and families. The region is also attracting technology investment alongside its established financial services industry. In September 2025, California-based software company ServiceNow announced plans to establish a regional innovation hub and artificial intelligence institute in West Palm Beach. AMERICANS KEEP MOVING TO TEXAS AND FLORIDA — BUT ONE OTHER RED STATE IS GROWING EVEN FASTER The expansion is projected to generate $1.8 billion in economic impact and create more than 850 jobs over five years, according to the company. ServiceNow also committed to occupying up to 200,000 square feet of office space at 10 CityPlace, a development by billionaire real estate investor Stephen Ross's Related Ross. "The tech has particularly been exciting for Palm Beach County," Brandt said. Meanwhile, Palm Beach County's population reached an estimated 1.58 million residents in July 2025, an increase of 5.6% since April 2020, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Brandt said new office developments in West Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens have made it easier for companies to establish a presence in the region. "Florida has just been a really easy landing place," she said. Beyond business opportunities, Brandt pointed to year-round outdoor activities, warm weather and family life as major attractions for newcomers. For Brandt, the region's evolution is far from complete. "Palm Beach County, I think we're like in beginning stages of what's possible here," she said.

Blue-state energy policy did te 2026-10-12T11:10:08.667Z The Iran war didn't make your heating bill this high. Blue-state energy policy did Heating season is here, and the Iran war is getting the blame for higher energy prices. The war explains the timing. It doesn't explain the vulnerability. America produces enormous amounts of oil and gas. Why do prices jump when the Persian Gulf flares? Because oil trades on a world market. A crisis anywhere moves prices everywhere. But the real problem is policies at the state level that have kept us from truly unleashing the bounty of our domestic energy supply. CHEVRON CEO WARNS IRAN CONFLICT HAS CREATED 'VERY REAL' THREAT TO GLOBAL OIL SUPPLIES AS GAS PRICES CLIMB It’s been well-documented that we have a refinery shortage. The country has 130 operable refineries, down from 301 in 1982, and no major new refinery has been built in the U.S. since 1976. Here in the Northeast, when we lost the Philadelphia Energy Solutions plant, we lost about 335,000 barrels a day. In my home state of New York, like so many other states, we also have a self-imposed supply problem. Natural gas moves through pipelines, and New York has blocked those pipelines. Pennsylvania, right next door, sits on some of the richest gas fields in the country. The Constitution Pipeline, if constructed, would carry that natural gas 124 miles, with 99 miles of new right-of-way in New York. AMERICAN BUSINESSES AREN’T ALLOWED TO BUILD. IT’S TIME CONGRESS HELPED THEM The fight to build this much-needed pipeline is now 10 years old. In April 2016, the state denied the water permit. Courts upheld it. The company tried again in 2025, then withdrew in November after three notices that its application was incomplete. And the problem runs deeper than one pipeline. Ill-conceived climate laws set sweeping emissions targets, and the plan to reach them is thin if not unattainable. Take New York City's Local Law 97. It fines large buildings that exceed emissions limits, and the limits tighten sharply in 2030. Owners must pay for costly retrofits or pay penalties. Either way, the bill lands on tenants, co-op owners and small businesses. THE REAL REASON YOUR ELECTRIC BILL IS SOARING THIS SUMMER WILL SURPRISE YOU Democrats in too many state capitals seem determined to choke off other reliable and cost-effective energy sources. Nuclear reactors and coal plants have closed down, both of which supply much-needed energy to citizens, especially low-income families. Meanwhile, the utility bills keep climbing, filling your gas tank becomes more painful, and truckers and shippers face punishing prices for diesel, which of course trickles down to raise the cost of everything from lumber to lunchmeat. SENATORS PRESS PRESIDENT TRUMP TO RELEASE HOME HEATING OIL RESERVES AMID SOARING PRICES I’ve spent over 20 years in the energy and utility industry. Energy is not abstract. It is pipe, wire, steel and supply. Limit supply while demand holds, and prices rise. That is arithmetic, not ideology. And winter makes it more brutal. On the coldest days, when pipes run full, utilities scramble for alternatives and alternatives cost more. Families on fixed incomes can't opt out. They lower the thermostat and pull on another sweater. TRUMP ADMIN MOVES TO GUT BIDEN'S SIGNATURE ENVIRONMENTAL RULES Here is what should bother everyone, whatever their politics. A state that won't produce or import its own fuel doesn't become independent. It becomes a customer. It bids against the world for supply and accepts whatever price is asked, including prices set by wars it can't influence. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION What's the solution? Approve pipeline projects with capacity that bring in domestic gas. Keep reliable power plants running until real replacements are built and tested. Approve the construction of new refineries. Be honest about what climate mandates cost, and phase them in at a pace working families can afford. Judge success by lower bills and steady supply, not ribbon-cuttings. And most importantly: Vote for candidates this November who are dedicated to American energy independence, supporting sensible and robust expansion of both production and refinement of our own bountiful energy supply.

In a statement to People, representatives for the former Duchess of York shut down claims she is gearing up to release a tell-all, telling the outlet there have been "no discussions" about a book deal. "She is not writing a personal memoir," they said. Rumors she was preparing to release a memoir started in late-September, when The Sun reported Ferguson was "days away" from signing a lucrative book deal which would cover her ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. FORMER PRINCE ANDREW, SARAH FERGUSON DUBBED ROYAL FAMILY’S ‘BONNIE AND CLYDE’ AS EPSTEIN FALLOUT GROWS: AUTHOR "The other day it was announced by the Sun newspaper that Sarah Ferguson was attempting to write a book, an all tell book, giving all the secrets away about the royal family. It was strongly denied very quickly by her PR team," royal broadcaster Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital.  "And I think the reality was this might have been a strategy to actually gain more initiatives, but who knows? We will never know with the royal family itself. She's obviously very considerate about what might happen if a book was written like this to Eugenie and Beatrice, and also to her former husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor too." Turner added that the book would likely not be very complimentary of Windsor, noting that she wasn't "very well treated in the formative years of her marriage with Andrew" and likely felt "lonely" and "isolated." WATCH: SARAH FERGUSON DENIES TELL-ALL BOOK AMID ROYAL FAMILY CONCERNS: EXPERT British royals expert, Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital that Ferguson is "already persona-non-grata in aristocratic circles" and will be "weary" of making any decisions that will "put her daughters and grandchildren at risk of being ousted completely from the royal family." "Sarah should simply stick to anything unrelated to the royals, her fiction & anything else without any royal proximity," Fordwich said. "But simply refraining from such wouldn’t be rehabilitation or societal acceptance. Currently, she is persona non grata." "The only hope she has of any future, indeed also any future with her own daughters and grandchildren, is to be discreet, which is not one of her strongest virtues, to say the least. But staying out of the UK for the last seven months was wise to at least let things die down. But despicable behavior will never be forgotten," Fordwich added. GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE Fordwich added that while a tell-all "would be just a quick fix for her financial woes" it would also "pretty much guarantee zero relationship with her children, grandchildren as well as her social set." Ferguson spent seven months abroad before announcing her return to the U.K. in August, a decision Fordwich called, "wise," as it allowed time for things to "die down," but added, "despicable behavior will never be forgotten." "Sarah Ferguson is back in the UK, keeping a low profile and plotting her next move," British broadcaster and photographer, Helena Chard told Fox News Digital. "Her chequered past has led to her immense highs and lows over the years. She believes that her current situation is merely another storm in a teacup. She plans to pivot yet again and bounce back." The controversy surrounding Ferguson stems from her association with Epstein. In the Epstein files, emails allegedly show the former royal asking the child sex offender for financial help.

"She really is the type of person who will give people anything that they want, and that's partly being her downfall, as she gives very expensive gifts to her friends." He added: "But I think right now she needs to be looked at as someone who needs help, care, and respect. She is the type of lady that really the Queen actually liked in a lot of ways, and she came back into the royal fold. But I think, as I say, at the moment, I think in reality, it wasn't her really-ality to actually write a book as well."

The research, published in Frontiers in Psychology, found associations between excessive consumption of negative online content and poorer mental health, although it did not establish a cause-and-effect relationship. Board-certified neurologist Dr. Steven Resnick uses the term "helicopter brain" to describe a nervous system that remains constantly on high alert, much like a "helicopter parent" who constantly hovers over a child to protect them from harm. FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE EXPERT WARNS EVERYDAY HABITS MAY ACCELERATE CELLULAR AGING "Imagine your own helicopter — that is your nervous system," Resnick, chief of the Division of Neurology and medical director of the Comprehensive Stroke Center at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach, Florida, told Fox News Digital. "Your nervous system’s job is to protect you from harm." Information overload, overstimulation and uncertainty can keep the brain on high alert, activating the autonomic nervous system, the neurologist said. "The brain is scanning for danger," Resnick said. "When it scans for danger, then you have that autonomic nervous system pushing the accelerator." NEARLY 3 IN 4 AMERICANS ARE BATTLING THE SAME EXHAUSTING HEALTH PROBLEM, CDC REVEALS The neurologist, who also hosts "The Healthy Mind" podcast, said he often sees patients experiencing symptoms they struggle to explain, including headaches, gastrointestinal issues, fatigue, sleep problems, tingling and dizziness. In some cases, patients undergo evaluations by multiple specialists before identifying a potential explanation. "They end up going to see a neurologist, who sends them to the gastroenterologist, who sends them to the cardiologist, then the rheumatologist," he said. "They don't understand what they're feeling is actually authentic, it's real — it's the nervous system that is actually activated." THINK YOUR CORTISOL IS TOO HIGH? EXPERT REVEALS THE TRUTH BEHIND VIRAL WELLNESS CRAZE Although constant information overload can contribute to this heightened state of alertness, Resnick said the same patterns can emerge in response to everyday stressors and deeply ingrained habits. The neurologist outlined the following five strategies for recognizing these patterns, calming the nervous system and developing healthier responses to stress. When seeing patients, Resnick said his first step is to listen to them, to ensure that he understands what they’re feeling. "I hear patients say, ‘I'm scared, I'm fearful, I'm concerned, I'm worried,’ and then you start to realize what their nervous system is telling you," he told Fox News Digital. "I would never have done that by just fixing the problem right away." The nervous system can begin to calm when patients feel truly heard, safe, secure and connected, the neurologist said. "The solution can be done later," Resnick said. "And we have to stop using the word ‘fixing,’ because a lot of things cannot be fixed — but over time, you can start feeling better." Recognizing recurring patterns — in thoughts, behaviors and reactions — is an important first step toward changing them, Resnick said. "Mindfulness is not just about meditation; it's about noticing," he said. That could mean recognizing the same conflict happening repeatedly with a co-worker, lying awake each night with racing thoughts, or turning to food or cigarettes during periods of stress, according to Resnick. THIS ONE QUESTION MAY REVEAL WHETHER YOUR BODY IS GETTING THE REST IT NEEDS, STUDY FINDS When those behaviors repeat, people can begin operating on "autopilot," he said. "The brain wants to resort to what is familiar, what is safe and what is known," Resnick said. "It keeps going back to that because the brain understands it, retrieves it and does the same thing over and over again." Breaking that cycle requires recognizing the pattern and making a conscious effort to respond differently, he added. Next, the neurologist said it’s important to "catch the cue," or trigger, that kick-starts the pattern. "It's a stimulus," he said. "It's something that is very sneaky. It goes under your level of consciousness." "It could be your boss' face. It could be a telephone. It could be a chair or a couch in a room. It could be a smell or a feeling." That cue can trigger an almost automatic behavior, Resnick said, such as procrastinating, eating, reaching for a drink or lashing out. If the behavior provides pleasure or helps someone avoid an uncomfortable feeling or situation, the brain can become more likely to repeat it. Even worrying can become part of that cycle. If the feared outcome doesn’t happen, Resnick said, the brain may interpret the worry as protective, reinforcing the habit. ONE TYPE OF SLEEP LINKED TO DRAMATICALLY LOWER RISK OF DEMENTIA, PARKINSON'S AND 81 OTHER DISEASES Breaking the pattern starts with identifying the specific cues that set it in motion, according to the neurologist. Rather than viewing anxiety or overthinking as something that happens "all the time," Resnick encourages patients to pinpoint a specific episode, consider what triggered it and recognize the behavior and potential reward that followed. The next step is replacing the unwanted behavior with a healthier habit that provides a noticeable reward, Resnick said. "Give your new habit a reward you can feel," he advised. DIETITIAN REVEALS SIMPLE EATING STRATEGY FOR BETTER SLEEP — AND ONE HABIT TO AVOID That reward does not have to be significant. After an early-morning workout, for example, it might be a sense of accomplishment or an improved mood. A healthy shake after the workout could provide another small reward. "Even checkboxing something on a piece of paper feels good," Resnick said. These immediate, positive reinforcements can help the brain begin associating the healthier behavior with something rewarding. "Rewards are very important," the neurologist said. "Even the small ones are important." Finally, when anxiety or panic strikes, Resnick recommends taking a counterintuitive approach: "Float instead of fight." CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES In many cases, he said, people are not only afraid of a particular situation, but of the anxious feelings that may result. Someone with claustrophobia, for example, may fear getting an MRI because they anticipate the physical sensations of anxiety that could arise inside the machine. "Don’t fight it," Resnick advised. "You want to allow it. You want to feel it." Avoiding a situation can reinforce the brain’s perception that it poses a threat, he said, while safely experiencing it can help create a new association.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6accbb5e75342cf4db8f2a6b NFL Week 5 Sunday takeaways: Rodgers defies Father Time, Coen gets bailed out, 49ers survive ugly performance te 2026-10-12T10:50:06.610Z NFL Week 5 Sunday takeaways: Rodgers defies Father Time, Coen gets bailed out, 49ers survive ugly performance We're five weeks into the NFL season, and some of my early takes are already aging poorly. Aaron Rodgers apparently has plenty of football left after I declared his career over. Thankfully, the Dolphins are still the worst team in football, so I haven't been wrong about everything. AARON RODGERS DEFIES FATHER TIME WITH ANOTHER THREE-TOUCHDOWN PERFORMANCE IN STEELERS’ WIN And if you made a few bad decisions this weekend, don't feel too bad. Liam Coen made plenty and still walked out of the stadium with a win. Sometimes the NFL rewards you for being good, and sometimes your special teams unit saves you from a very long week in London. Here's my biggest takeaway from each game on the Week 5 Sunday slate. Takeaway: Liam Coen got away with one of the worst coaching performances of his career. Plenty of people are going to criticize the Jags head coach for going for it on fourth-and-goal twice and failing rather than kicking a field goal. However, having to use a backup long snapper definitely adjusted the calculus. The bigger issue, to me, was the play calling. A jet sweep on fourth-and-goal from the 1? A wildcat formation on first-and-goal from the 1 that led to a false start? And if the long snapper was such an issue, why not go for two after the go-ahead touchdown instead of trying that extra point, which was missed due to a bad snap? JASON KELCE’S EAGLES-JAGUARS BROADCAST SHOWS WHY NFL BOOTHS COULD USE MORE OFFENSIVE LINEMEN And then none of it mattered because his special teams bailed him out with a big kick return (thanks to a terrible decision by Eagles coach Nick Sirianni to even allow a kick return in the first place) followed by a walk-off field goal. Better to be lucky than good? Takeaway: Someone had to win this game. In a battle of 0-4 AFC South teams, Houston coasted to a win over the lowly Titans. This was obviously a must-win for the Texans, who still have a long way to go if they want to have any hope at even making a postseason push. Takeaway: Drake Maye appears to have righted the ship. I've documented the struggles of the young New England quarterback this season, but his past two games have looked more like the 2025 version. Maye carved up the Las Vegas defense all afternoon and finished with 374 passing yards, four touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown. More importantly, Maye didn't turn the ball over after committing nine giveaways in the first four games. After a strong performance in an upset win over Buffalo in Week 4, Maye and the Patriots are back on track. Plus, the upcoming schedule looks favorable with games against the Jets, Bears and Dolphins over the next three weeks. Takeaway: The Dolphins are the NFL equivalent of the free space on the bingo card. The Miami Dolphins are in full tank mode and continue to look ahead to the 2027 NFL Draft. At this point, 0-17 isn't out of the question. That would be incredible because the Dolphins could be the only franchise in NFL history to complete a season at 17-0 and complete a season at 0-17. The offense is a complete disaster; in fact, the 24 points scored against Cincinnati represented a season high and 14 came in the fourth quarter with Cincinnati in complete control of the game. Takeaway: It was fun while it lasted. Ben Johnson deserves a lot of credit for winning back-to-back games with Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent starting. But even an offensive genius like Johnson can only do so much. Bagent was 12-for-21 for just 87 yards and two interceptions before being benched. Keenum came in and threw an interception of his own. Overall, the Bears turned the ball over five times, and you're not going to win a lot of games like that. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Takeaway: You can only beat the teams on your schedule. The Minnesota Vikings are 5-0 due in large part to their opponents. The Vikings have faced the Packers, Bears, Bucs, Dolphins and Saints. Their past three opponents have a 2-13 combined record. But that's not Minnesota's fault and, at the end of the day, you still have to beat the teams on your schedule. Takeaway: Of course it came down to which team made the bigger mistake. Would you expect anything different from a game between the Browns and Jets than it coming down to which team made the bigger mistake? Well, that's what happened. It looked like it was going to be the Jets after Geno Smith fumbled the ball with New York down two and just over four minutes left in the game. But, on the ensuing possession, the Browns had a botched snap on a punt to conclude a drive that lost 29 yards. Then Cleveland inexplicably gave up a 22-yard touchdown run to Braelon Allen on a third-and-9 play. An ugly game with an ugly ending felt appropriate. Takeaway: Aaron Rodgers is defying Father Time. I admit I thought Rodgers was cooked coming into the 2026 season, and his performances in Weeks 1 and 2 didn't inspire much confidence. But over the past three weeks, the 42-year-old has played some solid football, throwing for 826 yards and nine touchdown passes. Pittsburgh is now 3-2 and in a three-way tie with the Browns and Bengals, one game behind the 4-1 Ravens in the extremely competitive AFC North. Takeaway: What even was this game? Jameis Winston deserves a ton of credit for erasing a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter by leading two touchdown drives of 70-plus yards in the final 11 minutes of regulation. He also put the team in position to win in overtime before Cam Skattebo committed a cardinal sin by fumbling with the Giants already in range for a game-winning field goal. But the Giants never really should have been in that position. The Commanders scored a touchdown two minutes into the game and never trailed, yet still blew a 14-point fourth-quarter lead. Then, after Skattebo's fumble, Washington got into range for a game-winning field goal and inexplicably let the clock run out without attempting a kick. This was such a weird game that I'm still at a loss for words. Takeaway: Denver shouldn't be overly excited by this win. Of course, the Broncos would rather win a game with a bad performance than lose a game with a good performance. But they'd also rather win a game with a good performance, and this wasn't that. The winless Chargers continue to be a complete mess, but they might have won if not for two costly late turnovers. The Broncos nearly lost to an 0-4 team that had just 12 first downs and 219 yards of total offense before its final drive. Justin Herbert needed some late throws against a prevent defense just to get over the 100-yard mark. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Takeaway: Where have these Lions been all year? Detroit's explosive offense was on full display in Week 5 against Arizona, with four different players recording catches of at least 20 yards and Jahmyr Gibbs adding a 20-plus-yard run. But the takeaway isn't about the offense; everyone knows the Lions can score. This was a big game for the defense, which had allowed an average of 31.8 points per game entering Week 5. After allowing Arizona to score a touchdown on its first possession, Detroit forced five consecutive three-and-outs. The 21 points look worse than they were; Arizona scored 14 second-half points with Detroit already up by multiple touchdowns. Yes, it was only the Cardinals, but it was an important positive step for the much-maligned unit. Takeaway: This wasn't the game you'd expect from two Super Bowl contenders. Yes, you'd expect the game to be tightly contested and come down to the final minutes, which it did. But that's not what I mean. These are two teams that figure to be in the conversation come January, but both played some very sloppy football. The Seahawks had one of the worst turnovers in the NFL this season, fumbling in their own end zone and handing the 49ers a touchdown with 13 seconds left in the first half. Then Sam Darnold threw an interception on the second play of the second half. Not to be outdone, the 49ers missed a field goal on the ensuing drive, then turned the ball over on their next two possessions. The two teams combined for a whopping seven turnovers, which isn't going to make either head coach happy. But Kyle Shanahan is certainly happier than Mike Macdonald since his team is now 5-0 and has a two-game lead in the NFC West. Takeaway: Jesse Minter is making an early case for NFL Coach of the Year. Replacing a franchise legend like John Harbaugh isn't exactly easing into your first NFL head-coaching job. Neither is going on the road without Lamar Jackson against a Falcons team that had scored 80 points in its previous two games. But Jesse Minter took Tyler Huntley into Atlanta and came away with an overtime win, even after the Ravens looked headed for a loss late in the fourth quarter. Yes, Minter inherited plenty of talent, but his best player wasn't available Sunday night. Winning anyway is a pretty good way to get yourself into the Coach of the Year conversation. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6accbb5d75342cf4db8f2a62 NFL's dumbest moment of Week 5 had the Commanders taking a tie more offensive than Redskins nickname ever was te 2026-10-12T10:50:05.600Z NFL's dumbest moment of Week 5 had the Commanders taking a tie more offensive than Redskins nickname ever was The Washington Commanders did not lose on Sunday, but what they did is the kind of stuff that helps get a head coach fired. It's the kind of stuff that turns the fanbase against a beliked, but not beloved quarterback. What the Commanders did was more offensive to fans than the franchise could convince most people their former Redskins nickname ever was. The Commanders tied the New York Giants. They replaced a likely victory with the NFL's dumbest move of Week 5, and that's saying something because there were a good number of candidates in the rankings for dumb moves. 'I LOST US THAT GAME': NICK SIRIANNI MAKES DECISION THAT OPENED DOOR TO A JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS COMEBACK WIN When it was over, coach Dan Quinn told reporters, "I'm gutted for our team." That's like the guy holding the filleting knife saying he felt gutted for the fish. So what happened? After blowing a 14-point fourth quarter lead, the Commanders found themselves in overtime on the Giants' 26-yard line with 55 seconds to play. All they had to do at that point was kick a field goal and figure out how to celebrate. But, they instead ran the football. And then lined up with 22 seconds left to seemingly throw a pass on another play. Except they had no timeouts remaining and quarterback Jayden Daniels clearly did not know it. COMMANDERS PUSH BACK ON 'BULLS—' VIRAL NARRATIVE THAT THEY DIDN'T CARE ABOUT JAYDEN DANIELS' ELBOW INJURY NFL'S DUMBEST MOMENT OF WEEK 4 GOES TO A REFEREE NOW ON THE MOUNT RUSHMORE OF ANGRILY JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS So the Commanders gained two yards on a Daniels scramble, when he should have instead thrown the ball to Jupiter to stop the clock. Daniels also could have scurried to his feet and spiked the ball because there were seven seconds remaining when he was tackled. But he stayed on the ground looking around for a beat or two, as if waiting for new orders from headquarters. The Commanders could not line up and spike the ball before time ran out. They never attempted the field goal they should have tried 55 seconds earlier. Tie game. "Leaving tonight with a tie feels like a loss," Quinn said. "And the last sequence, we throw it out of bounds, we clock it, you give yourself a chance to kick it. And we pride ourselves on those moments at the end of the game. "And after the first down run, still trying to gain more for the kick. The right call is, honestly, like we can go clock it early and don't put ourselves in that spot and that is my responsibility. Nobody else's. I'm gutted for our team." Quinn looked distraught immediately following the game as he simply stood at the 25-yard line. Alone. Looking at nothing in particular. Doing nothing in particular. Just ... numb. It is unclear if Washington coaches themselves were aware of their timeout situation. If they knew, it is unclear whether they communicated the situation to Daniels. Whatever the case, Daniels seemed completely unaware of the timeout situation, as he just lay there on the ground, the clock and a chance for victory ticking away. "Yeah, like the sequencing of that does not fall on him," Quinn said. It surely fell on him as he was just on the ground waiting for somebody to tell him to get up. Removing the responsibility from Daniels shows the coach doesn't trust his quarterback to literally know what time it is. Anyone think Joe Montana, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady or any high school quarterback with the slightest awareness would be this oblivious? "We just have to be better," Daniels said afterward. "We all have to be better. Situational football. Starts with me. Everybody will say the same thing, but we have to be better at situational football." THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Daniels was aware in the preseason of what LSU was doing with the No. 5 jersey this year, but he wasn't aware what to do in the final 55 seconds of this game. "We have to stop the clock," Daniels said. "We have to know the situation. We have to relay that as an offense. It starts with everyone, top down. Ultimately, it's on me." It is on Quinn, whose team is 1-3-1 instead of 2-3. It is on the offensive coaches, who didn't seem to make Daniels sufficiently aware of his situation. It is on Daniels, who needs a stopwatch tucked into his uniform. And, perhaps, it's on a football team that didn't know the rules governing overtime. Maybe the nickname change was a blessing. Because this embarrassment won't go down in Redskins lore.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6accb45975342cf4db8f289f America's best pizzerias crowned in new rankings as pizza expert gives slice of skepticism te 2026-10-12T10:20:09.132Z America's best pizzerias crowned in new rankings as pizza expert gives slice of skepticism Columbus Day commemorates a famous voyage across the Atlantic, but Americans don't have to travel nearly as far to discover some of the country's best pizza. The 50 Top Pizza rankings of 2026 highlight restaurants from coast to coast, though what makes a pie worthy of the top spot is still a matter of taste. New Haven, Connecticut-based food historian and pizza expert Colin Caplan told Fox News Digital that what constitutes the "best" pizza really comes down to personal preference. AMERICA'S BEST-TASTING PIZZA CHAIN IS AN OLD-SCHOOL FAVORITE, SURVEY FINDS Ranked lists such as those published by 50 Top Pizza are helpful for expanding palates and introducing people to restaurants and dishes to try, he noted, but there's usually some subjectivity at play. "50 Top Pizza is a very well-respected Italian-based, chef-based site that really goes and finds what they think is the best," he said, but suggested the organization might have a slight bias toward certain pizza styles that align with its Italian roots, such as Neapolitan. Ultimately, though, good pizza is all about the love that goes into it. "If the heart is [in] it, the pizza is going to taste amazing," Caplan said. These are the top five pizzerias in America for 2026, according to 50 Top Pizza. Founded in 1996 by Anthony Mangieri, this New York City pizzeria has "a stand-up example of sit-down pizza," according to The New York Times. AMERICA'S MOST AND LEAST EXPENSIVE PLACES TO ORDER PIZZA REVEALED IN NEW STUDY Eater NY called the Margherita pie "a miracle of pizza development and evolution unlike any other Neapolitan pie in the world." Mangieri personally makes each ball of dough by hand, the website says, and he shapes, tops and bakes every pizza himself. This is the fifth year in a row that Una Pizza Napoletana has claimed the top spot in the 50 Top Pizza USA ranking. The restaurant also placed second in the 50 Top Pizza World 2026 ranking. Operated by chef William (Sang Woo) Joo and his wife and partner, Jennifer So, Pizzeria Sei has been serving Tokyo-style Neapolitan pizzas since 2022. RETRO PIZZA HUT DRAWS CUSTOMERS FROM HOURS AWAY AS 1980S NOSTALGIA SENDS SALES SOARING The crusts are shaped using a crimping technique that, along with a quick baking time at high heat, leads to a unique, varied texture, the website states. Tied for second place is Tony's Pizza Napoletana, a San Francisco establishment run by 13-time world pizza champion Tony Gemignani. In addition to Neapolitan, Tony's serves multiple styles of pizza, including Detroit, Sicilian, New York and Romana, among others. The pizzeria also placed fifth in the 2026 50 Top Pizza World ranking. Chef and owner Dan Richer, a 2011 James Beard Foundation Rising Star Chef semifinalist, opened Razza in 2007. The pizzeria garnered a three-star review in 2017 from The New York Times, and in 2019 it was given the distinction of Best Pizza in North America by 50 Best.

"Each ingredient is hand-picked, down to the salt that goes on the pizza," according to its website. Both the bread and butter are made in-house, the flour is milled nearby in Clifton, N.J., and a homegrown yeast culture is added to the crust. Founded by Donna Baldwin and John Arena, Truly Pizza focuses on using fresh, seasonal ingredients and supporting local farmers. At the two-story, open-air Dana Point location, guests can enjoy coastal scenery while dining on artisan pizzas — both round and square — ranging from classic cheese to umami mushroom. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ The "menu is informed but not bound by tradition, and mindfully curated," the website says. Truly Pizza also earned the No. 26 spot in the 2026 50 Top Pizza World ranking. A concept by Italian-born chef Francesco Martucci, this pizzeria is where "wood-fired tradition meets South Florida energy," the website states. Situated in the Miami neighborhood of Wynwood, the restaurant offers a wide range of pizzas, from the tomato-forward Assoluto di Pomodoro, featuring San Marzano tomato mousse and roasted cherry tomato cream, to the Fior di Zucca Al Quadrato, which has zucchini cream and squash blossoms. Francesco Martucci's Miami restaurant earned the top spot in the 50 Top Pizza World ranking from 2019 to 2025. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6accb45875342cf4db8f2896 EXCLUSIVE: Inside LA's homeless hellscape — unlikely critics blast Dems as GOP hopeful tours Skid Row te 2026-10-12T10:20:08.158Z EXCLUSIVE: Inside LA's homeless hellscape — unlikely critics blast Dems as GOP hopeful tours Skid Row LOS ANGELES — Surrounded by sprawling homeless encampments, drug use and trash-strewn sidewalks in the heart of Los Angeles' Skid Row, Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton blasted California's homelessness crisis as a "political scandal," accusing Democratic leaders of spending billions in taxpayer dollars while allowing the streets to deteriorate. "'The homelessness crisis,' as if it's some kind of natural disaster that can't be helped," Hilton told Fox News Digital, referring to how politicians and others describe the conditions as he surveyed the sprawling encampments. "No, it is not a crisis. It's actually a scandal. It's a political scandal because the people in charge, they've caused this with their policies." Skid Row, the epicenter of California's homelessness crisis, is facing renewed scrutiny after a sweeping federal drug raid Thursday. The crackdown came as voting gets underway in the Nov. 3 governor's race, with Hilton challenging Democrat Xavier Becerra in a contest where homelessness and billions in taxpayer spending have emerged, yet again, as key campaign issues. HOUSING FIRST IS A DISASTER. I SAW SACRAMENTO'S HOMELESS CHAOS FIRSTHAND Fox News Digital observed sprawling homeless encampments, Narcan distribution points, human feces on sidewalks and piles of ash from what people in the neighborhood said were fires lit earlier that morning to keep warm. Hilton accused years of Democratic leadership of failing to solve California's homelessness problem despite billions in taxpayer spending, while taking aim at government-funded nonprofits and developers he claims have financially benefited from the crisis. "The real estate developers, and it's a real crony game now, which I've been told about many times," he continued. "We've got a small number of real estate developers who are in on this, and they get all the contracts to build these apartment units for people that don't help them at all, because the other part of it isn't being done in terms of drug addiction or whatever." TAXPAYER-FUNDED 'METH MANSION' UNDER FIRE AS CRIME CONCERNS MOUNT AROUND HOMELESS CAMPUS "The point about these non-profits is that they're part of this philosophy, the ideology of harm reduction, all the things we've talked about, which means that they are not actually trying to solve the problem," Hilton said. "Because if they solve the problem, they don't get paid anymore. So they have an incentive to keep it going." In September, federal prosecutors charged the founder of a Los Angeles-area homelessness nonprofit with wire fraud, alleging he misused taxpayer funds, including nearly $50,000 for a trip to Tahiti, after receiving more than $118 million in public funding through government contracts. Federal and local authorities, including the FBI, DEA and LAPD, arrested 23 of 28 defendants charged in a sweeping drug trafficking investigation Thursday, targeting alleged gang-affiliated dealers and independent operators accused of selling fentanyl, methamphetamine and other drugs in and around Skid Row. Hilton argued that addressing homelessness begins with enforcing existing laws and removing encampments from California's streets. KAREN BASS GRILLED OVER BROKEN HOMELESSNESS PROMISE, BLAMES BUREAUCRACY FOR SLOWED PROGRESS "My plan is very simple. How we get clean streets in California. Number one, enforce the law, get people off the streets," he said. "Letting people live like this, and not just the people who live like this, but all the people who aren't living like this who have to experience this every single day. The collapse of civilized life in their city," Hilton said. "It's the opposite, it's cruel." As Hilton walked through Skid Row with Fox News Digital, one woman living on the streets offered a candid admission about her drug use. LA REAL ESTATE VET COMES AT MAYOR BASS WITH RECEIPTS OVER DAMNING HOMELESSNESS REPORT: 'SHE DOESN'T GET IT' "I like being on drugs, but if I have to quit, then I most definitely will," she told Hilton when he asked whether she wanted to stop using drugs. The woman, who said she had been living on Skid Row for five years, described moving to Los Angeles from Syracuse, New York, in part because she had heard about California's methadone clinics. She also said a former boyfriend had planned to find housing. "I heard about the methadone clinics," she explained, saying she wanted access to methadone treatment. Despite her admission about drug use, the woman said she was considering entering a treatment program in Tarzana, where she had heard patients could stay for a year or longer and receive methadone twice a day. STEVE HILTON LAUNCHES AD MOCKING XAVIER BECERRA'S '36 YEARS' AS A CAREER POLITICIAN IN CALIFORNIA GOV RACE Venus, a Skid Row volunteer who helps distribute food, blasted Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass over the handling of homelessness, even as Bass joined local law enforcement officials Thursday to announce the results of a sweeping drug crackdown in the neighborhood. "We all loved her from the beginning, but she lied about the homeless," Venus said, pointing to the conditions surrounding her on Skid Row. "What is going on, Mayor Bass? We voted for you." Venus later added, "She didn't do her job," and said Bass’ pledge was "getting rid of the homeless. She never did nothing. Nothing, nothing at all. Shame on her." Hilton also took aim at his Democratic opponent, Becerra, accusing the longtime politician of taking California voters for granted while failing to offer solutions to the state's mounting problems. "If you can't be bothered to earn people's vote, then you don't deserve people's votes. He's not campaigning. He's backing out of every single debate. I mean, I've never seen anything like it. It's complete contempt for the voters and for California," said Hilton. Hilton, a former Fox News host, argued that Californians are growing fed up with years of Democratic leadership, pointing to homelessness, high taxes and the soaring cost of living as reasons voters may be ready for a change. "I know everyone says, well, it's California, Republican can't win. I don't know. I think people are sick of all this," Hilton said. "And they're sick of Becerra just taking them for granted, and I think we can win this election." On Skid Row, Fox News Digital encountered criticism of Democratic leadership from an unlikely political perspective: a man who described himself as a "patriotic American communist." TRUMP ADMINISTRATION YANKS FUNDING FROM LA HOMELESS AGENCY AMID EXPLOSIVE FRAUD PROBE: 'NECESSARY STEP' The man, who identified himself as Adrian, said he had moved from Orange County and ended up on Skid Row following a medical incident. "I'm a patriotic American communist, part of the American Communist Party," Adrian said. Adrian said he belonged to the American Communist Party, distancing himself from the mainstream Democratic Party. Asked whether California's leaders were doing enough to address homelessness, Adrian was blunt. "Oh, definitely not. I have to be honest, I'm a leftist, and so the Democratic Party isn't for me. I'm more left than they are," he said. Adrian said he had been living on Skid Row for about a year after being evicted from a medical facility, and now volunteers at the Skid Row Care Campus, which he credited with providing therapy, medical services and community activities. "It gives them better things to do than just do drugs all day," he said. Fox News Digital reached out to Becerra's campaign and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass' office for comment. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6accb45775342cf4db8f288d Secret Service leadership warn of 'massive increase' in threats against the president te 2026-10-12T10:20:07.200Z Secret Service leadership warn of 'massive increase' in threats against the president Secret Service leadership detailed the "massive increase" in threats against the presidency and agents in the past year during a special joint interview with CBS' "60 Minutes" on Sunday. "It's like we've never seen before," Secret Service Director Sean Curran told host Norah O'Donnell. "The threats on our full-time protectees are up just over 40% than they were last year. That's a massive increase." Curran, along with Deputy Director Matt Quinn, were questioned as to what they believed caused the rise in threats. Curran suggested that the growth of the internet was a factor, but O'Donnell wondered if President Donald Trump also drove the threats. TRUMP HAS BECOME AMERICA'S MOST TARGETED LEADER, FACING THREATS EVERY FEW MONTHS "President Trump is one of the most polarizing political figures in American history. Is that in some way leading to the increase in these threats?" O'Donnell asked. "We are an apolitical organization. We're here to protect who we're sworn to protect," Curran answered. "Look, I would say there's people on both sides of the aisle that either love or hate any president. I think the biggest factor we're dealing with today is mental health issues for sure. And more people are being pushed over the edge in either direction," Quinn added. "The world is different than what it was 20 years ago. You know, social media changes people," Curran said. The men also did not clarify whether more threats came from left-wing or right-wing sources, explaining that they do not "weigh" threats in that way, citing concerns from both the Jan. 6 Capitol riots and the assassination attempts against Trump. 'DECOY' AIR FORCE ONE WAS PROTECTED BY US FIGHTER JETS, OFFICIAL SAYS Curran, who was the lead agent protecting Trump during the first assassination attempt against him in 2024, emphasized the importance of preparation.  O'Donnell later connected this idea to the reports of Trump's Air Force One plane switch in August. "Look, that's not the first time we've done that. We wish that wasn't reported, 'cause that takes some of our tactics away from being able to do something similar again. Certainly wasn't the first time where we did something like that," Curran said, though he clarified that he did not say whether they had ever used a decoy plane prior to this incident. Quinn also defended the procedure which left agents behind in a decoy plane. "When you're operating in any protective detail with the President of the United States, for any president, the priority is the president. Everyone else, staff, agents, media, personnel involved are not the priority, including our own personnel. As hard as that may be for some to understand, the mission is to protect the President of the United States," Quinn said. I SERVED AS TRUMP’S NSA. SCOTUS NEED TO STOP COURTS PUTTING THE PRESIDENT'S SECURITY AT RISK Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment. This interview came as the Secret Service faces ongoing scrutiny after three officials were placed on leave in August. Protection for the president has also come under scrutiny as the FBI hesitates to release documents pertaining to the investigation of the assassination attempt on Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Judicial Watch President Thomas Fitton, whose organization sued the Department of Justice for documents related to the event, criticized the slow process. "They are telling us that, at current processing rates, the process will take 12 years. Under the FBI's timeline, we won't even be able to challenge what they withheld until 12 years from now. That is obviously unacceptable, and I would like to know what leadership at the FBI and DOJ think about that position," Fitton told Fox News Digital. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6accb45575342cf4db8f2884 Senate Republican settles six-year-old campaign bill after being called out on social media te 2026-10-12T10:20:05.993Z Senate Republican settles six-year-old campaign bill after being called out on social media Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., paid a six-year-old campaign bill after a bakery owner called him out on social media for allegedly failing to pay for cookies and other treats ordered for a 2020 election watch party. Holly Thomas, a bakery founder, said in an Oct. 8 Facebook post that she would never vote for Marshall because his campaign had failed to pay a $678.75 bill despite her repeated attempts to collect the money. Thomas shared an image of the invoice and a photo that appeared to show custom cookies made for Marshall's campaign. "Do you know why I will never vote for Roger Marshall? Because six years ago, when I was a brand-new small business owner, his campaign ordered cookies and treats from my bakery for his primary election watch party. And I never got paid. For nearly a year, I made repeated attempts to collect payment, reaching out by phone and email. I never received a return phone call, and the invoice was never paid," Thomas wrote in the post. SLEEPER SENATE RACE EMERGES AS UNEXPECTED HEADACHE FOR REPUBLICANS AHEAD OF MIDTERMS "Not only was I just starting out, but we were also in the middle of COVID, when small businesses everywhere were struggling just to keep their doors open. Every single dollar mattered. Those cookies and treats cost money to make, employees' time to prepare, and resources that my little business couldn't afford to give away," she explained. "Six years later, I haven't forgotten. This isn't about political parties or policy disagreements. It's about my personal experience as a small business owner and the importance of honoring financial commitments. That experience is why Roger Marshall will never get my vote," Thomas concluded. Marshall — who had been serving in the U.S. House of Representatives when he won election to the U.S. Senate in 2020 — addressed the issue on Oct. 10, sharing a screenshot showing a $1,300 payment to the establishment. GOP SENATOR ALLEGES SCHUMER BEHIND 'HIT JOB' REPORT ON FORMER PATIENTS "As some folks may have seen, there was a post on social media regarding an unpaid 2020 cookie bill. We have absolutely no idea how this happened, but rest assured as soon as it became known to us, we immediately attempted to contact the business in order to apologize, and we have repaid the bill from 2020, double," Marshall's post on X noted. POWERFUL UNION LEADER BACKS REPUBLICAN IN KEY SENATE SHOWDOWN Thomas confirmed that the bill had been paid. "But I can officially confirm that Roger Marshall has paid his bill! Better late than never, right? Six years later, I guess we can finally mark that invoice PAID!" she wrote in part of a Facebook post. "Thank you all for the overwhelming support! Now, back to doing what I do best!" Marshall is seeking re-election this year. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acca3f775342cf4db8f26a5 Everyone is watching Texas and Michigan. As a pollster, I know where the real story is te 2026-10-12T09:10:15.007Z Everyone is watching Texas and Michigan. As a pollster, I know where the real story is With less than a month until the midterms, everyone has suddenly become an expert on Texas and Michigan. I understand why. Texas has Texas state Rep. James Talarico, the charismatic Democrat trying to do something Democrats have dreamed about for decades: turn Texas blue. He is running against former attorney general Ken Paxton, a Republican carrying enough political baggage to fill the overhead bins on a 747. FOX NEWS POLL: IT’S A LONE STAR SENATE SHOWDOWN BETWEEN TALARICO AND PAXTON Michigan has Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed. Whatever you think of his progressive politics, he is a rare political talent: charismatic, compelling, and very good at attracting attention. His race against former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers has become one of the most closely watched contests in America. Watch them both. FOX NEWS POLL: MICHIGAN VOTERS SPLIT BETWEEN EL-SAYED AND ROGERS But if you want to understand what is actually happening in this election, I'd look somewhere else. I'd look at Iowa. FOX NEWS POLL: TUREK, HINSON IN CLOSE IOWA SENATE RACE Because Iowa doesn't come with quite the same political celebrity. It doesn't have the irresistible "Texas turns blue!" storyline. It doesn't have Michigan's unusual mix of personalities and politics. It just has an extraordinarily close Senate race. And that may make it a much better test of the country. DEMOCRATS ARE WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE IN THE SENATE, BUT SHOULDN'T CELEBRATE YET Democratic state Rep. Josh Turek and Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson are separated by essentially nothing. The RealClearPolitics polling average has Turek at 45.9% and Hinson at 45.2%. Less than one point. 12 RACES SCRAMBLE SENATE BATTLEFIELD AS DEMOCRATS EYE COMEBACK Fox found Turek ahead by two. The New York Times/Siena found Hinson ahead by one. Suffolk University has Turek ahead by four. Pick your poll. The conclusion is basically the same: Iowa is up for grabs. LEE CARTER: POLLS SAY DEMOCRATS COULD SWAMP REPUBLICANS. AS A POLLSTER, I HAVE A QUESTION And that should get our attention. Because something much bigger than one Senate seat is happening underneath these numbers. Americans aren't simply unhappy with Republicans. DAVID MARCUS: IN DAYTON, OHIO, BOTH PARTIES FACE BITTER POLITICAL DESPONDENCY They're unhappy with everybody. A new AP-NORC poll found only about two in 10 registered voters believe either political party is focused on helping people like them. Think about that. After billions of dollars in advertising, thousands of speeches, endless cable-news appearances and approximately 47 million fundraising texts asking if I personally hate America because I haven't chipped in $7 yet, eight out of 10 voters still aren't convinced either party is particularly interested in them. That's not a blue wave. That's a giant flashing WARNING sign for the political establishment. Yes, Democrats have improved their position. They now hold an advantage on the issue that may matter most: cost of living. But even there, more than a quarter of voters say they trust neither party to handle it. That is the story of 2026. Not love. Not loyalty. Disappointment. And disappointment makes elections unpredictable. We've become accustomed to treating politics like tribal warfare. Red states. Blue states. MAGA voters. Progressives. Everyone neatly sorted into their corners. Except voters don't seem particularly interested in cooperating with our categories this year. They are angry about prices. They're exhausted by politics. They're skeptical of institutions. And a striking number don't believe either party knows how to fix the problems they encounter every day. That is why Iowa matters. President Donald Trump carried Iowa comfortably in 2024. Republicans should not have to spend the final weeks of a midterm wondering whether they can hold a Senate seat there. But they are. And Democrats shouldn't interpret that as evidence that America has suddenly fallen in love with them, either. It hasn't. Voters appear to be shopping. And when voters are shopping, candidates matter more. Turnout matters more. Mistakes matter more. And individual votes matter a lot more. That's why I'm reluctant to join the chorus declaring a blue tsunami four weeks before Election Day. Could Democrats have a very good night? Absolutely. The polling gives them plenty of reason for optimism. But elections aren't held in polling averages. They're held by actual people who decide whether getting in the car, standing in line and filling out a ballot is worth the trouble. And this year an awful lot of those people don't particularly like either option. So yes, watch Texas. Watch Michigan. Watch the charismatic candidates and the political celebrities and the races that generate the best television. But watch Iowa. Because if you want to know whether this election is really a wave, or something far messier and closer, Iowa may tell us first. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION And if you're one of the millions of Americans looking at both parties and thinking, You've got to be kidding me? Go vote anyway. Especially this year. Because in an election where so many voters are dissatisfied, disengaged and undecided, your vote may count for a whole lot more than you think.

Here’s what Boomers just don’t understand te 2026-10-12T09:10:13.923Z Buying a home seems impossible. Here’s what Boomers just don’t understand Whenever someone complains about today's mortgage rates, somebody inevitably says: "You think 7.5% is bad? I paid 14% in the 1980s!" They're right about the interest rate. But they're missing the bigger problem. GEN Z IS WORKING HARD, BUT THE ECONOMY IS PUTTING THE AMERICAN DREAM OUT OF REACH FOR MANY Today's homebuyers aren’t just fighting a 7% mortgage. They're fighting high rates on a home price that has grown much faster than the amount sitting in their checking account. Look at the numbers. A PROBLEM HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT IS KEEPING AMERICANS FROM BUYING HOMES In 1984, the median new home sold for about $79,900, while median household income was roughly $22,400. That's a home-price-to-income ratio of about 3.6 times income. The average 30-year mortgage rate that year was a painful 13.9%. Now fast-forward. AMERICA'S HOUSING MARKET COULD RUN OUT OF SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN HOMES By 1990, the ratio had climbed to about 4.1 times income, with the median new home costing $122,900. In 2000, it remained around 4 times income, even with mortgage rates still above 8%. Then housing prices really started separating from paychecks. GEN Z DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKER SPARS WITH BABY BOOMERS OVER WHETHER AMERICAN DREAM IS DEAD By 2010, the median new home cost roughly 4.5 times median household income. By 2020, it was approaching 5 times income or $330,900 for the house versus roughly $68,000 in household income. When someone says, "We had 14% mortgages in the 1980s, and we still bought houses," they're leaving out half the story. WE MUST HELP MORE PEOPLE BUY A HOME. IT’S KEY TO THE AMERICAN DREAM Homes were much cheaper relative to what families earned. The median existing home price was $429,100 in August 2026. The latest median household income figure is $87,460 for 2025. That's about 4.9 times household income. Meanwhile, the average 30-year mortgage rate hit 7.40% on Oct. 8. So yes, your parents may have had a 14% mortgage. But they didn't have a $429,000 house attached to it. $104,200 SALARY IN ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA CONSIDERED 'LOW-INCOME' BY STATE OFFICIALS This may be the part nobody talks about enough. A 20% down payment on that $79,900 home in 1984 was about $16,000. Today, 20% down on a $429,100 home is nearly $86,000. That's almost an entire year's median household income before closing costs, moving expenses, furniture or the first trip to Home Depot. In 1984, the 20% down payment represented about 71% of median household income. Today, it's roughly 98%. That's a gigantic pile of cash for a first-time buyer to accumulate while simultaneously paying rent, student loans, car payments, insurance and everyday living expenses. Put 20% down on today's $429,100 home and you're borrowing about $343,000. At 7.28%, the principal-and-interest payment alone is roughly $2,350 per month. Then add property taxes, homeowners' insurance, HOA fees and maintenance. That's why simply telling young people to "stop buying $7 coffees" completely misses the point. Coffee isn't the problem. The math is. Today's buyers are getting squeezed from three directions at once: home prices relative to income, the cash required to get in the door and the cost of borrowing once they get there. Yes, mortgage rates were worse in the 1980s. But affordability isn't about one number. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION It's about the price of the house, the income buying it, the cash needed upfront and the interest charged on everything you couldn't afford to pay in cash. And right now, all four are making the American dream of homeownership a very expensive dream. Just ask my kids.

Smithsonian should tell of America’s greatness te 2026-10-12T09:10:12.812Z I’ve spent 25 years at historic museums. Smithsonian should tell of America’s greatness The Smithsonian Institution is sometimes called the nation’s attic. That description is inadequate. An attic stores things. The Smithsonian does something far more consequential: It helps Americans understand who we are. That responsibility carries particular weight as the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary and the Smithsonian prepares for new leadership. The transition comes amid an intense debate over how the Smithsonian presents American history. A White House review criticized the National Museum of American History, arguing that ideological concerns have displaced an understanding of history as a shared national inheritance. Smithsonian leaders and historians have defended the institution’s scholarly independence and warned against allowing political power to dictate how history is told. The answer cannot be choosing one of those impulses and ignoring the other. TRUMP V. SMITHSONIAN: A TIMELINE OF HOW THE WHITE HOUSE FIGHT OVER 'WOKE' HISTORY UNFOLDED Outgoing Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie Bunch recently said the Smithsonian must show both the light and the dark. He has also described America as an ideal as much as a place — an aspiration toward liberty, fairness, justice and equality. But has the Smithsonian been telling the American story fairly? SUPREME COURT CHIEF JUSTICE PRAISES OUTGOING SMITHSONIAN LEADER WHO WAS UNDER PRESSURE FROM TRUMP ADMIN The harder question is one of proportion: How should America’s national museums put the light and the dark together into an honest account of the country? I have spent much of the past quarter-century helping govern museums and historic institutions in Virginia. That experience has convinced me that historical integrity requires more than factual accuracy. It requires proportion, context and perspective. HISTORIAN BLASTS SMITHSONIAN'S ACTIVISM SHIFT AFTER FIRST VISIT IN OVER A DECADE: 'COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PLACE' America’s national museums should tell our history honestly, including our shortcomings, contradictions and occasions when Americans failed to live up to the principles proclaimed at the nation’s founding. But those failures should not become the organizing principle through which the American experience is understood. SMITHSONIAN'S NATIONAL MUSEUM OF AMERICAN HISTORY PROMOTES 'EXTREME POLITICAL ACTIVISM,' WH REPORT ALLEGES Viewed in proportion, the American story is extraordinary. A collection of colonies declared that human beings possess rights governments do not grant. Americans then built an enduring constitutional republic around representative government, individual liberty and the rule of law. Those ideas changed human history. The nation they produced survived civil war, expanded freedom and political participation, welcomed generations of immigrants, became an industrial and scientific power, defeated fascism and Soviet communism and put human beings on the moon. When America fell short of its founding principles, succeeding generations repeatedly returned to those principles to demand the nation do better. There is an important distinction between examining America critically and teaching Americans to regard their country cynically. A great national museum should be capable of the former without succumbing to the latter. Museums inevitably make choices: which objects to display, which stories to emphasize and which context visitors receive. Individual facts can be accurate while their cumulative presentation leaves a distorted impression. LEGAL EXPERT CALLS FOR SMITHSONIAN LEADERSHIP OVERHAUL OVER ‘SELF-LOATHING’ PORTRAYAL OF HISTORY: ‘IT’S BILE’ The Smithsonian should resist any interpretive approach that begins with contemporary political or ideological categories and works backward through history to validate them. History should illuminate today’s debates, but the past deserves to be encountered on its own terms. Nor can the answer be replacing one political orthodoxy with another. WATCH: SMITHSONIAN DIRECTOR ADMITS SHE SEES HISTORY AS ‘TOOL’ OF ‘SOCIAL JUSTICE’ AFTER EXPLOSIVE HEARING The Smithsonian has endured presidents and Congresses of both parties. Its credibility rests upon scholarship, independence and public trust. Americans should never believe exhibits in their national museums are rewritten whenever political power changes hands. James Smithson envisioned an institution devoted to the "increase and diffusion of knowledge." Two centuries later, the Smithsonian holds objects that belong to all of us: General George Washington’s uniform. President Abraham Lincoln’s hat. The Star-Spangled Banner. The Wright Flyer. Harriet Tubman’s hymnal. The Greensboro lunch-counter stools. The Apollo 11 command module. They tell a remarkable story of aspiration, struggle, achievement and progress. No curator owns that story. Neither does a president, political party, academic movement — or generation. We hold it temporarily in trust. That principle matters especially during America’s 250th anniversary. This milestone should invite reflection. But reflection is not national self-reproach. Our semiquincentennial should not become a 250th-anniversary wake, principally devoted to cataloging America’s shortcomings while treating its achievements as qualifications or afterthoughts. There is too much worth celebrating. Visitors should leave the Smithsonian knowing America’s history more fully. They should understand our shortcomings and contradictions, but also our achievements. They should leave impressed by what Americans built, moved by what Americans sacrificed, grateful for what they inherited — and challenged to preserve and improve it. They should even leave proud. Pride in one’s country is not the enemy of historical understanding. Properly grounded in truth, it can be one of its products. The Smithsonian need not tell Americans what to think about America. It should give them the artifacts, scholarship, context and perspective necessary to understand the inheritance that belongs to them. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION Tell the hard stories. Tell the great ones, too. Trust Americans with both. After 250 years, the American story remains unfinished. The Smithsonian’s responsibility is to preserve it faithfully, interpret it honestly — and ensure the next generation understands why it remains a story worth celebrating.

Tina Kotek faces a competitive rematch with Republican Christine Drazan. The shift from Likely Democrat to Lean Democrat reflects a competitive political environment in Oregon, where concerns over homelessness, housing, taxes, schools and the cost of living have created an opening for Republicans to end a more than four-decade losing streak in gubernatorial elections. Republicans are gaining ground in Oregon even as they face a rough national political environment marked by high gas and diesel prices, what polls show is an unpopular war in Iran and President Donald Trump's low approval ratings "This is something historic we're trying to pull off," Drazan said in a Fox News Digital interview. "It's been a long time and we're due we win." CHECK OUT THE LATEST FOX NEWS POWER RANKINGS IN THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS Then-Vice President Kamala Harris carried Oregon by 14 points in the 2024 presidential election, and Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden won his 2022 re-election by 15 points. But gubernatorial showdowns in the northwestern state have traditionally been much closer contests. Drazan, a former GOP leader in the Oregon House, lost to Kotek by less than four points in 2022. After her defeat, she won a state House election in 2024 and returned to the legislature, serving again as minority leader before being appointed last year to the state Senate. "It's good to stay in the fight. I think Oregonians... recognized that I didn't leave, I didn't move to a different state, I didn't go hide. I got engaged again, went back into the legislature to serve my community," Drazan emphasized. "I think that that matters to people, that I am committed long-term to our state." The latest public opinion polls indicate a margin of error race in the Kotek-Drazan rematch. "People are starting to get to know me a little bit more and my leadership, and they're taking a closer look at whether or not Oregon is uniquely bad right now. It's not a national issue, it's here at home," Drazan said. "We're struggling right now locally. So, that's making this race tight." While Drazan is trying to keep her focus on Oregon and local issues, the Kotek campaign is aiming to anchor the GOP challenger to Trump, who is very unpopular in the state. DEMOCRATS THINK A BLUE WAVE IS FORMER - HERE ARE THREE FACTORS THAT COULD STOP IT Kotek Communications Director Federico Araujo told Fox News Digital, "There are still many undecided voters ahead of November. But when the choice is clear in an election, they always show up. And the choice couldn't be any clearer in this race: Christine Drazan is ready to open the door to Trump's agenda and Governor Kotek is fighting every day to protect Oregonians from federal overreach and harm." But Drazan said that "Oregon needs change. Oregon needs to be done with one approach to the world. Single-party control has not been good for us in my home state. And we need that balance." "We need people to be at the table that have been ignored in the past to be able to turn our economy around, frankly, and turn our schools around and serve the people that are facing addiction and slowly dying on our streets. Those are significant challenges, and Tina Kotek doesn't have the answers to solve them," she charged. Four years ago, Drazan received plenty of support from national Republicans as her party benefited from a more favorable political environment. DEMOCRACY ’26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB This time around national Republicans are facing stiff headwinds as they work to hang on to their fragile congressional majorities and governors offices across the country. But the Drazan campaign says it's now landing financial support from the Republican Governors Association. "I am grateful to have the Republican Governors Association as a partner in this race. They are investing in this race now," Drazan said. But she noted "the sitting governor has a fundraising advantage that's significant today," and added "I could always use more support." Democratic Governors Association Spokesperson Johanna Warshaw spotlighted the competitive nature of Oregon gubernatorial showdowns, but told Fox News Digital, "Governor Kotek has the advantage and we're confident she'll win. "Clearly, the RGA agrees as they're leaving Christine Drazan's broke campaign out to dry," Warshaw claimed. Drazan highlighted that she's "actively fundraising all the time and encouraging folks to get involved in this race right now. We have no limits in Oregon, and that allows me to be able to compete head to head." And pointing to her campaign, she said, "I want to achieve something extraordinary."

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acc95de75342cf4db8f248c Giles says attention over traffic citations is ‘out of touch’ politics te 2026-10-12T08:10:06.582Z Giles says attention over traffic citations is ‘out of touch’ politics Key Points: A website that published public records released photos of lieutenant governor candidate John Giles committing traffic violations Records show that Giles had been cited for multiple speeding and red light infractions while mayor or councilman in Mesa Giles said the focus on his driving record is nothing but politics PHOENIX — The nominee for lieutenant governor on the Democratic ticket is brushing aside multiple speeding tickets he got while mayor of Mesa. “I’ve lived in Arizona my entire life, and we’ve all seen that camera flash and realized we were going a little too fast,” John Giles said in prepared comments Thursday. And he said that the publicity about the citations he incurred in the city where he presided — mainly in 2021 and 2022, though there is a speeding ticket from just this past February — is strictly political. There also is nothing in the available court documents to show how much over the speed limit he was clocked. But Giles, tapped by incumbent Gov. Katie Hobbs to be her running mate in her reelection bid, did not address the fact that there also were two citations in Mesa for running red lights, one in 2021 at Broadway and Extension roads, the other in 2023 at University and Mesa drives. Nor did Giles respond to questions about records from Mesa Municipal Court also showing that all the citations were dismissed — and whether that had anything to do with the fact he was the mayor. The court records provide no reason. The documents were initially found by FOIAzona, a blog that bills itself as “increasing transparency in Arizona through public records research,” with most of the recent reports being about activities of Democrats. FOIAzona posted pictures of the enforcement camera photos taken of the 2021 and 2023 incidents showing not just the vehicle that ran the red lights but also Giles behind the wheel. Giles did not respond to both voice messages and texts sent to his cell phone seeking information about those red-light offenses. In the prepared statement he provided Thursday, Giles called the whole question of his driving record political. “The fact that the other side wants to talk about a handful of traffic tickets the week early voting starts shows how out of touch they are with what Arizonans are facing,” he said. A search of a statewide database produced no record of traffic citations for Republican lieutenant governor nominee Sine Kerr. But her campaign spokesman said he understands Kerr received a photo radar speeding ticket last year in Scottsdale and paid the fine. He did not know how fast she was going. This is the first election in Arizona where gubernatorial candidates pick a running mate. That person is not separately elected but appears on the same ticket, similar to presidential elections where there is a single vote for the party nominee and a running mate. Hobbs, a Democrat, tapped Giles earlier this year. He had been a Republican but changed his status to independent three months before he was picked by the governor. The post Giles says attention over traffic citations is ‘out of touch’ politics first appeared on Arizona Capitol Times.

Which is your basic definition of crazytown. No human being, without mainlining AI into his or her arm, could possibly track so many contests, so we bounce from one race to the next, with buzzers and bells, like a pinball machine.  Look! Charlie Cook is moving 18 House races in the Democrats’ favor! This is o-vah! The blue wave is getting stronger. Put a cork in this one, it’s done! But wait a minute. The Republicans have a huge cash advantage. Big-time Democratic donors, for whatever reason, are sitting on their checkbooks. Don’t they realize the stakes? Are they all blinded by the sun on their private islands? There seems to be a consensus, even privately among Republicans, that the Dems will take the House. The only question is the margin. So we all wind-surf across the Senate race, even if we know little more than what we read that morning in Politico, or the New York Times or Wall Street Journal.  The GOP just sent another $30 million to Ken Paxton, the Texas Republican who has more baggage than a 747. (Being impeached by your own party doesn’t help.) He was caught on audio saying "everybody’s numbers dropped" after President Trump’s midterm convention. Even Trump calls him "a pain in the *ss sometimes." And this is the guy they want to win? DEMOCRATS THINK A BLUE WAVE IS BUILDING. HERE ARE 3 FORCES THAT COULD STOP IT His Democratic opponent, James Talarico, went into hiding–what’s up with that? Turns out he had a nasty case of the flu. Still, it’s Texas, the Lone Star State, where Democratic dreams go to die. Okay, we’re starting to get vertigo. In Maine, is this the year Susan Collins gets knocked off? One poll has her trailing by four points against Democrat Troy Jackson, who replaced weirdo candidate and Nazi tattoo-wearing Graham Platner, who quit after a sexual assault allegation. What a lovely business. Republicans have a president who’s polling in the low 30s, which perhaps explains why he was campaigning the other day in Syracuse, when New York is among the bluest of blue states. The Democrats need a net gain of four seats to control the Senate, and while some are prematurely sipping Champagne, nobody really knows if they can draw that kind of inside straight. If they tell you they do, they’re lying.  MICHIGAN SENATE DEBATE ERUPTS INTO PERSONAL ATTACKS AS ROGERS, EL-SAYED CLASH OVER ISRAEL, IRAN AND MORE There’s a harsh spotlight on the Michigan Senate race, featuring Democratic socialist Abdul el-Sayed vs. former congressman Mike Rogers. I eagerly watched their high-decibel debate the other night–okay, I was assigned to it--and here’s my takeaway. El-Sayed won on points–he’s just a smoother and more aggressive debater than Rogers, who looks like a classic pol–and every third sentence was an attack on Trump or the war. This put Rogers at a disadvantage, because he supported the Iran war but now says it should end. And El-Sayed kept whacking Rogers for owning two yachts, which is sort of irrelevant. Rogers called his opponent a "con man" and kept trying to tie him to the Muslim Brotherhood. This was a weakness for el-Sayed, who was asked whether he’d send aid if Israel was attacked, and insisted that he’d rather spend the money here at home. El-Sayed also did a lousy job of defending Medicare for All and why it wouldn’t bring the end of private insurance. Since Michigan is near the border, both men came out against Canadian tariffs–a flip for Rogers–in a noisy segment that was utterly indecipherable to mere mortals. The whole thing turned into an interrup-ta-thon, with the moderator constantly scolding the contenders. Aren’t you glad you missed it? Now, thanks to yours truly, you can pretend you saw the debate. But enough about the midterms. Time to join the punditocracy and speculate about 2028. Kamala Harris is leading the ridiculously early polls, with a quarter of the Democratic vote. There’s just one problem. Her husband, the Wall Street Journal reports, has privately told people he doesn’t want her to run. How’s that for a vote of confidence? So bite your nails, everyone. The fate of the free world, both sides are warning, hangs in the balance.

Eric Lewis, 35, faces charges including murder, homicide of a law enforcement officer, attempted murder, 10 counts of attempted homicide of a law enforcement officer, aggravated assault, terroristic threats and other related offenses. His next court date is scheduled for Oct. 26. The charges stem from a Saturday shooting that killed Philadelphia police Officer Shane Seiber and left his partner wounded. Seiber, 40, was a father of two and an Air Force veteran who served 10 years with the Philadelphia Police Department. He is survived by his wife, 7-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter. PHILADELPHIA POLICE OFFICER KILLED, PARTNER SHOT 12 TIMES IN AMBUSH; SUSPECT FOUND HIDING IN TREE "He fought valiantly, but he lost his life today," Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel said at a news conference on Saturday. "His wife was able to be by his side before he passed, as well as his family." The wounded officer, a 33-year-old father of five, was shot 12 times and was initially listed in critical condition. He has since been listed in stable condition. The shooting unfolded around 12:20 a.m. Saturday, when the two officers responded to a report of a man with a gun. They located an armed man on a porch, according to police. KENTUCKY TROOPER, FATHER OF 3, GUNNED DOWN DURING TRAFFIC STOP AS SUSPECT CAPTURED AFTER MANHUNT The officers then came under "significant gunfire" after reaching the porch, police said. Additional officers and a SWAT team arrived a short time later and found both officers on the porch suffering from gunshot wounds. More gunfire followed, prompting authorities to declare a barricade situation before Lewis was eventually taken into custody, according to police. Police said Lewis was found in possession of two handguns and a shotgun. One of the handguns belonged to an officer wounded in the attack. At a news conference Saturday, District Attorney Larry Krasner declined to say whether Lewis had fired the officer's handgun or how he had obtained the other firearms. Krasner also said there was nothing in Lewis' criminal background that would have prevented him from obtaining a firearm. Lewis, an employee of the Philadelphia Water Department, has a criminal history dating to 2012, according to Pennsylvania court records reviewed by Fox News Digital. Court records show Lewis was convicted of theft and receiving stolen property in 2012 and of gun-related offenses and simple assault in 2013. He received probation in both cases. In 2018, Lewis pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct involving fighting and was again sentenced to probation. Records also show Lewis received three traffic citations in 2024, including driving without headlights, failing to provide proof of insurance and a windshield-related violation.

After all, both offenses were struggling to move the ball and the Baltimore Ravens were trotting out Tyler Huntley at quarterback in place of the injured Lamar Jackson. However, just when it looked like this Sunday Night Football game was going to turn into a snoozer, the scoreboard decided to show a little life, as the Ravens came back to win 30-23 in overtime. LAMAR JACKSON LEAVES GAME WITH INJURED ANKLE AND WHAT HAPPENED NEXT SHOWS NO ONE FEARS THE TENNESSEE TITANS The Falcons took advantage of the aforementioned Huntley for much of the first half as the front seven specifically hounded the Ravens' offensive line to the tune of four sacks and numerous pressures. When it counted though, Huntley made clutch play after clutch play with both his arms and his legs, showing both off on the game-tying final drive in regulation. From there, a steady dose of Huntley and ageless wonder Derrick Henry would score the only touchdown of the extra frame. Huntley's three touchdowns (two through the air and one on the ground) all came after the first half, when the Ravens couldn't muster much of anything to penetrate the Falcons' defense. FALCONS' BIJAN ROBINSON BECOMES HIGHEST-PAID RUNNING BACK IN NFL HISTORY WITH MASSIVE CONTRACT: REPORT On the other side of the field, Atlanta QB Michael Penix Jr. was opportunistic, converting on several third and longs in the second half to keep drives alive and effectively distributing the ball to his weapons. As usual, Bijan Robinson had a nice night at the office, tallying over 100 yards from scrimmage, while wide receiver Drake London led the team with seven catches and 118 yards. FALCONS STAR KYLE PITTS SR PREDICTS CFB PLAYERS WILL UNIONIZE, SAYS PRO PLAYERS RETURNING TO SCHOOL IS 'CRAZY' Even Kyle Pitts got in on the fun and looked closer to his 2025 All-Pro form, reeling in five receptions for 42 yards including an eight-yard score in the first half.

Backup Tua Tagovailoa came on in relief for one play before taking over permanently in overtime. After a promising start to the potential game-tying drive in the extra frame, Tagovailoa would toss an interception to Baltimore All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton to seal Atlanta's fate. The Ravens needed this win, as the victory pushes them to 4-1 and nets them sole possession of first place in the AFC North. Meanwhile, the Falcons will fall to 2-3, and head coach Kevin Stefanski will be left wondering how he let this opportunity slip through his hands.

Leo, the first American pope, shared his opposition to capital punishment Saturday in a social media post marking World Day Against the Death Penalty. Citing Catholic doctrine revised under his predecessor, Pope Francis, Leo emphasized that the death penalty violates human dignity. "The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption," Leo wrote on X. "#NoDeathPenalty," he added in the post. VETERAN SHOT 7 TIMES IN FORT HOOD MASSACRE HAS A WARNING FOR AMERICANS PLANNING TO WATCH EXECUTION In 2018, Francis revised the Catholic Church's official position on capital punishment, declaring the death penalty "inadmissible" in all circumstances. "Consequently the church teaches, in the light of the Gospel, that the death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person," the revised Catechism states. Before the change, Catholic teaching permitted the death penalty in cases where it was deemed the only effective means of protecting human life from a dangerous offender. Earlier popes had maintained that exception, though Pope John Paul II increasingly advocated ending capital punishment, stressing that those convicted of crimes retain their human dignity. Although Leo did not specifically mention the U.S. government's plans in his statement, his post comes after the Pentagon announced on Thursday that it had scheduled a firing squad execution for a man convicted of a mass shooting at a military base. Nidal Malik Hasan, a former Army psychiatrist, was convicted of killing 13 people and wounding 32 others in a 2009 shooting at the Fort Hood military base. He is set to be executed at Fort Hood on Dec. 3, which would make him the first person to be executed by firing squad by the U.S. military since 1945. President Donald Trump said on Saturday he had not yet decided whether to allow the livestream plan, pushed by Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth, to move forward. Vice President JD Vance, who is a Catholic, expressed skepticism about whether the Pentagon would proceed with a public execution. He said he would not watch the livestream if it were carried out. Several lawmakers, including Republicans, have spoken out against plans to broadcast the execution. CHRISTA PIKE DISCHARGED FROM HOSPITAL, RETURNED TO PRISON AFTER BOTCHED EXECUTION, ATTORNEYS SAY "Public executions are what oppressive dictatorships like Iran and Afghanistan do," Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said on Thursday. "It should not be happening in America." Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican secretary of state, criticized the proposed broadcast, calling it "truly incomprehensible" and warning that it was "unacceptable to turn death into a spectacle." "The Church’s position is one of total opposition to the death penalty; it is incompatible with human dignity and serves as no deterrent," Parolin told reporters on Friday. "It is truly incomprehensible that anyone would want to use this system today — I don’t know for what purpose. It is certainly unacceptable to turn death into a spectacle; even if the person is guilty, of course, there are other methods." He added that the death penalty "is incompatible with human dignity and does not serve as a deterrent." The head of the U.S. bishops conference, Archbishop Paul Coakley, expressed "shock" and "great sorrow" about the public execution plan and urged the U.S. to reconsider. "In no way can Hasan’s actions be condoned but this decision is a barbaric promotion of a culture of death and must be reconsidered," he said in a statement on Friday. "The public execution even of one who has done grave harm will only further undermine the moral fabric of our nation and be a blight on the conscience of its people." Leo's statement also did not mention the botched lethal injection of Christa Gail Pike in Tennessee. Pike survived the attempted execution despite two doses of pentobarbital being administered late last month. The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.

And this time around in the NLCS, the Milwaukee Brewers eked out a statement win versus the boys in blue. The Brewers defended home turf in Game 1 of the NLCS, defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers 2–1 in a tight pitching duel. After getting swept by the Dodgers in last year's NLCS, Milwaukee hopes to rewrite the script and capitalize on their regular-season-best record. Milwaukee flamethrower Jacob Misiorowski pitched 4 1/3 innings, allowing five hits, one run, and three walks while striking out five. He threw 94 pitches (60 strikes). THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Baseball's unicorn, Shohei Ohtani, continued his postseason struggles, and LA newcomer Tarik Skubal had a forgettable outing on the mound as Pat Murphy's "underdog" Brewers edged the back-to-back champs. LA scored first in the second inning, bringing in Ohtani with an Andy Pages RBI single to right. Milwaukee responded in the bottom of the fourth with a Brice Turang solo homer. The Brewers inserted 21-year-old Luis Lara in a big spot, and he delivered in the fifth with an RBI single to score Garrett Mitchell for the go-ahead run. Skubal tallied 81 pitches through five innings, prompting LA manager Dave Roberts to activate the bullpen earlier than expected. Skubal gave up five hits and two runs while recording seven strikeouts. The Dodgers will turn to generational ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto in Game 2, though LA rarely puts on an offensive showcase when Yoshi is on the bump. LA struggled to bring in runners, an issue that has plagued prime NL contenders in recent memory, like last year's Brewers and 2024's NLCS Mets. The Dodgers went 1-for-5 with runners in scoring position and left eight on base. With a final chance to tie in the ninth, LA put the tying run in scoring position after Trevor Megill issued two-out walks to Kyle Tucker and pinch-hitter Josue De Paula, but Megill induced a game-ending flyout from Mookie Betts to preserve the huge win. The Dodgers left nine guys on base Sunday night. Historically, teams that win Game 1 of a League Championship Series advance 65.6% of the time; home teams winning Game 1 hold a 67.3% win rate.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acc43d775342cf4db8f0ac7 Maduro-linked fugitive nabbed over alleged scheme to cash in on Venezuelans’ basic needs te 2026-10-12T02:20:07.373Z Maduro-linked fugitive nabbed over alleged scheme to cash in on Venezuelans’ basic needs A fugitive accused of getting rich off programs meant to help Venezuelans is now in U.S. custody, facing charges in a sprawling corruption scandal tied to Nicolás Maduro’s regime. Alvaro Pulido Vargas, 62, was arrested during a Homeland Security Task Force operation and is scheduled to appear Tuesday, Oct. 13, in federal court in South Florida, the Justice Department announced. The Colombian national faces two criminal cases alleging he helped funnel money from Venezuelan government bribery schemes through U.S. banks to hide illicit profits. NICOLAS MADURO AND WIFE CILIA FLORES FACE NEW CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY TO TORTURE AMERICANS "Pulido is charged in two separate, significant money laundering schemes, both using the U.S. financial system to hide the profits from his bribery and greed off the backs of the Venezuelan people," said Assistant Attorney General A. Tysen Duva. Attorney General Todd Blanche announced the arrest Sunday on X, accusing Pulido Vargas of exploiting programs meant to provide essential supplies and housing. "His alleged actions show a blatant disregard to the Venezuelan people by corrupting government programs intended to provide critical food, medicine, and housing for personal enrichment and exploiting the American financial system to do it," Blanche wrote. Pulido Vargas, also known as German Enrique Rubio Salas, was charged in 2019 and again in 2021. The Justice Department said he previously was convicted of drug trafficking in Italy in 1997 under that alias. "For years, DEA and our HSTF partners have pursued Pulido Vargas across borders. Today, that pursuit has brought him to the Southern District of Florida," DEA Administrator Terrance Cole said. The newer case centers on approximately $1.6 billion in Venezuelan government contracts to supply food and medicine through CLAP, a government-run distribution program. OUR ADVERSARIES ARE EVEN USING THE US BANKING SYSTEM. HERE’S HOW THEY GET AWAY WITH IT Prosecutors say Pulido Vargas and his associates paid bribes to win the contracts, then inflated prices to cover the payoffs and line their own pockets. The alleged scheme ran from approximately July 2015 through at least 2020. His son, Emmanuel Enrique Rubio Gonzalez, and former Venezuelan state governor Jose Gregorio Vielma-Mora were among four others charged in the case. NICOLÁS MADURO AND HIS WIFE EXPECTED TO FACE NEW CHARGES RELATED TO ALLEGED TORTURE OF AMERICANS Prosecutors say Vielma-Mora and a middleman collected roughly $17.3 million in bribes and illicit payments for helping steer government food contracts and other business advantages to the group. The money allegedly flowed through a web of companies and bank accounts in Antigua, the United Arab Emirates, the United States and elsewhere. The 2021 indictment describes fake contracts and other paperwork allegedly used to make the payments appear legitimate. Approximately $180 million moved through or into the United States, including accounts in South Florida, according to prosecutors. "The allegations describe a profound betrayal of the Venezuelan people; corrupting government programs intended to provide critical food, medicine, and housing for personal enrichment," said U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones. MADURO CLAIMS IMMUNITY, ASKS JUDGE TO DISMISS DRUG-TRAFFICKING CHARGES AGAINST HIM AND HIS WIFE The earlier case centers on an alleged scheme to cash in on a government program meant to build homes for low-income Venezuelans. Prosecutors charged Pulido Vargas and Maduro ally Alex Nain Saab Moran in 2019, accusing them of using a housing contract to exploit Venezuela’s government-controlled currency exchange system. NICOLÁS MADURO FLASHES PEACE SIGNS IN FIRST PRISON PHOTOS SINCE US CAPTURE IN CARACAS The men allegedly submitted false paperwork claiming they had imported goods and building materials that never entered Venezuela, then bribed officials to approve those documents. Prosecutors say they moved approximately $350 million out of Venezuela through U.S. banks and into overseas accounts they controlled. The alleged scheme ran from approximately November 2011 through at least September 2015. Pulido Vargas faces five money laundering-related charges in the 2021 case, each carrying a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison. He faces eight additional money laundering-related charges in the 2019 case. The DEA, FBI and Homeland Security Investigations are investigating the cases through the Homeland Security Task Force initiative. Blanche pointed to the arrest as a warning to others facing U.S. prosecution. "No amount of time or distance will stop @TheJusticeDept from working with our federal law enforcement and international partners to pursue these criminals and bring them to justice in an American courtroom," he wrote.

The vessel was carrying 305 people from Djibouti toward Yemen when it capsized Thursday night or early Friday near Guhere, north of Obock, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said Sunday. At least 84 people remained missing as of Sunday, while more than 80 survived. All of the survivors were Ethiopian nationals, according to the agency. "No one gets into a boat like that unless they believe there is no other safe way," IOM Director General Amy Pope said in a statement.  DRAMATIC FOOTAGE SHOWS ALLEGED NARCO BOAT ERUPT IN FIREBALL DURING US MILITARY STRIKE "We cannot keep treating these deaths as normal. Safe and legal pathways save lives. I am asking governments and donors to act before the next boat goes down," Pope added. The confirmed death toll includes only victims buried by authorities in Djibouti and could rise as additional bodies are verified, IOM Chief of Mission in Djibouti Alexandre Coissac told The Associated Press. Some victims were buried by fellow migrants but will not be added to the official count until authorities can verify the bodies, the outlet reported. BOATER WAS DRUNK, DANCING BEFORE BOSTON HARBOR CRASH THAT KILLED 24-YEAR-OLD FORMER SOCCER PLAYER, DA SAYS "What is terrible is that they were buried with no names, in a common grave, like in a war situation," Coissac said. "They all have a mother, a father, and we may never learn what happened." Coissac said the boat sank shortly after departing on the evening of Oct. 8, "mainly because it was overcrowded." Survivors were taken to an IOM rescue center in Obock, where they were receiving medical treatment after swallowing seawater as well as psychological support, according to The Associated Press. FEDERAL AGENTS INTERCEPT BOAT CARRYING 14 ILLEGAL ALIENS BEFORE UNLOADING IN WEALTHY COASTAL ENCLAVE "They're all in a state of shock," Coissac said. The crossing from the Horn of Africa to the Arabian Peninsula is a common but dangerous route for migrants seeking work in Gulf countries. More than 900 migrants died or went missing along the route last year, according to the IOM. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acc2ebe75342cf4db8eface Houthis kill 14 at Saudi airport as expert warns of 'rapid targets' amid Middle East war te 2026-10-12T00:50:06.567Z Houthis kill 14 at Saudi airport as expert warns of 'rapid targets' amid Middle East war Iran-backed Houthis launched a series of attacks on Saudi Arabian airports through Sunday, reportedly killing at least 14 people, including an American, and injuring more than 300 others, according to reports. The attacks heightened fears of a wider Middle East war as regional experts warned of "cross-domain escalation" amid heightened tensions over Washington's September actions against Iran's aviation sector. The Houthis claimed responsibility for earlier attacks on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, while U.S. officials blamed the Iran-backed group for Saturday's strike, which reportedly killed 13 people and injured more than 300. SAUDI FOREIGN MINISTER WARNS HOUTHI THREAT GOES GLOBAL AS TRUMP HOLDS FIRE Saudi Arabia's civil aviation authority said another attack on Sunday killed a Pakistani resident and injured 11 others. Meanwhile, an airport in Dammam, in the kingdom's Eastern Province, was also reportedly targeted by the Houthis. "Cross-domain escalation by Iran and its proxies will continue to be a primary strategy," Behnam Ben Taleblu, senior director of the Iran Program and a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital on Sunday. "The emphasis on aviation targets connects directly to the closing of Iran's aviation sector and sanctions imposed on its commercial airlines under the U.S. maximum pressure campaign," he warned. RUBIO ACCUSES IRAN OF FLYING IRGC PERSONNEL INTO YEMEN AS HOUTHI THREAT ESCALATES The Houthis also renewed warnings Sunday, urging airlines, airport workers and travelers to avoid Saudi airports as Saudi Arabia vowed to retaliate for the deadly attacks. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned Saturday's attack, confirming that an American was among those killed and calling for an immediate end to the violence. President Donald Trump, meanwhile, left open the possibility of U.S. involvement in Saudi Arabia's military campaign against the Houthis, saying, "We may. We're gonna look at it. We move very quickly." The escalation comes nearly three weeks after a senior Iranian official threatened to paralyze neighboring countries' airports if they cooperated with U.S. efforts to restrict Iranian flights. THE HOUTHIS AREN'T SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROBLEM. AMERICA CAN'T AFFORD TO LOOK AWAY Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, warned Sept. 23 that Iran would prevent neighboring countries' airports from operating if they cooperated with Washington's efforts to restrict Iranian flights, according to Reuters. "This rapid targeting reflects earlier threats made by Iranian officials, including a veiled threat from the Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, warning that U.S. sanctions on Iran's aviation sector would lead to retaliatory threats against neighboring aviation infrastructure," Taleblu said. Iran has long supported the Houthis, but the extent of Tehran's involvement in the latest airport attacks has not been independently established. The escalation has also renewed scrutiny of reports that Russia has provided intelligence and technical assistance to the Houthis. FOILED TERROR PLOT AT BOMBER BASE SIGNALS WIDER THREAT TO US MILITARY INSTALLATIONS: EXPERT At a Sept. 1 House Foreign Affairs subcommittee hearing , lawmakers pressed experts on allegations that Russia is providing intelligence and technical support to the Houthis. "Beyond offering diplomatic cover, there are persistent reports of Russian satellite collaboration, advisory support, and intelligence targeting assistance, as well as unproven allegations regarding select anti-ship systems." HOUTHIS ENTER US 'KILL BOX' AFTER SEIZING RED SEA 'CORK,' FORMER PENTAGON OFFICIAL WARNS But he also linked the latest attacks to a broader military escalation as the Houthis expand their territorial control in Yemen. "This surge did not occur in a vacuum," Taleblu said. "Since April, the Houthis have made territorial gains and pushed back against Saudi forces despite a period of diplomatic lull." "Airport attacks allow Iran and its regional proxies to inflict pain on Arab states, Israel, and remaining U.S. forces," Taleblu said.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acc2a0f75342cf4db8efa1a Tom Emmer tells Jon Karl there are 'communists' on the midterm ballot in heated ABC exchange te 2026-10-12T00:30:07.362Z Tom Emmer tells Jon Karl there are 'communists' on the midterm ballot in heated ABC exchange House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., pushed back against ABC's "This Week" host Jon Karl after he insisted "there aren’t a lot of communists on the ballot" Sunday. The clash began after Emmer conceded the Republican Party needed to make an effort to lower gas prices ahead of the midterm elections. "I would say this on that, $4 gas, $6 diesel, entirely unacceptable," Emmer said. "We Republicans agree on that. But it’s not enough to vote for communists." "I think most Democrats would say they’re not communists," Karl replied with a chuckle. "So, there aren’t a lot of communists on the ballot in these midterms." SHOCKING PERCENTAGE OF DEMOCRATS IDENTIFY AS 'DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS' ACCORDING TO NEW POLL: 'TOXIC POLICIES' "Well you’re wrong, they are communists," Emmer interrupted. Karl conceded that there were "some Democratic socialists" on the ballot and attempted to move on to a new topic, but Emmer rejected the idea. "Jon, you just called them what they want you to call them. There’s nothing Democratic about socialism. For 100 years, they wanted us to call them progressives, when, in fact, they were socialists. And it wasn’t cool to admit you’re a socialist. They are now communists and Marxists. Take a look at the [Democratic Socialists of America] platform," Emmer said. Karl again attempted to change topics, but Emmer continued. VULNERABLE DEMOCRAT WARNS PARTY TO 'FIGHT BACK' AGAINST GROWING SOCIALIST MOVEMENT "They want to defund the police. They want to defund prisons. They want government-only health care. And they want the Green New Deal, which will cost every American family another $355,000. That’s what we should be talking about," Emmer said. Earlier in the interview, Emmer also criticized mainstream media for framing inflation and high gas prices under President Donald Trump differently from how they reported them under former President Joe Biden. "I hate to point the finger at you and the other journalists, but have you reported that under Joe Biden, the average was over $5 a gallon? Under Donald Trump, he’s pulled it all the way back, even with the action that had to be taken to make sure that Iran never has a nuclear weapon. It’s closer to $4. It’s about 13 percent below what Joe Biden had. Grocery inflation. Under Biden, it was 13-point-something. Under Donald Trump, it’s two percent. It’s 11 points better. But you guys don’t report this stuff. So, I’m not saying the American people don’t get it. They don’t get the truth from the people that are reporting it," Emmer said. MORE AMERICANS THAN EVER NOW HAVE A POSITIVE VIEW OF SOCIALISM, NEW POLL SAYS Fox News Digital reached out to Emmer and ABC News for comment. Emmer made similar comments in an interview with Fox News Digital last week when he accused the far-left wing of the Democratic Party of being "communists, Marxists and anarchists." He especially took issue with Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, though he has denied being a socialist. "This guy says ridiculous things like U.S. NFL football is an example of toxic masculinity, he supports a terrorist who believes that America deserved to lose 3,000 people on 9/11, and he's got this Piker guy who's just shooting his mouth off on everything anti-American," Emmer said. "These people are anti-American more than anything else."  Emmer's comments come as dozens of Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates run for office during the midterm elections.

The 27-year-old country star addressed the cancellation while performing in Lubbock, Texas, one day after calling off her sold-out Friday night show at Tulsa's BOK Center. Langley became emotional while explaining why she decided not to perform despite police finding no credible threat. MEGAN MORONEY CANCELS SHOW MID-PERFORMANCE, LEAVES STAGE IN TEARS "I was put in charge of a decision for 15,000 people and I decided to make the decision that I could live with the rest of my life," the "Choosin' Texas" hitmaker told the crowd on Saturday night at the United Supermarkets Arena, according to Taste of Country. "Because when it comes to keeping you safe and making sure that this show is a safe place for us to come and enjoy our music, then it will happen," she continued. "But the second, it feels like it's not, I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it because a concert's not worth a human life. It's not." ED SHEERAN APOLOGIZES FOR MACKLEMORE BACKLASH, ENCOURAGES UNITY AT FIRST CONCERT SINCE FALLOUT "And so I would have made yesterday's decision ten billion times over," she added. "And I'd do it tomorrow and I'd do it the next day." Langley went on to explain that the safety of her fans outweighed her desire to perform. "Because while I'm grateful to get to do what I do, it's not the most important thing in this life," she said. "What's the most important thing in this life is the people around you that love you and that are there for you no matter what." "The most important thing in this life is that you wake up every day and feel like, 'You know what, I'm good today. I am so grateful to have woken up today,'" Langley continued. ELLA LANGLEY DELIVERS POWERFUL FAITH MESSAGE TO CROWD DURING MORGAN WALLEN CONCERT IN CHICAGO "The most important thing in this life, number one, is your relationship with Jesus Christ," she added. Langley admitted that she nearly canceled Saturday's concert in Texas because she was still shaken by the incident. However, she credited her faith in Jesus with giving her the courage to return to the stage. ELLA LANGLEY GOES VIRAL WITH PASSIONATE COMMENTS ABOUT HER CHRISTIAN FAITH, GOD, LOVE AND RELIGION "If it wasn't for Him," I would have canceled this show tonight," she told the crowd. "I would have." "But I felt this calling and this tug in my chest saying, 'It's OK. We are safe. We can do this show,'" Langley continued. "And I decided to do it because of Him right there. And that's the only reason." ELLA LANGLEY'S FAITH AND AUTHENTICITY FUEL RECORD-BREAKING RISE, EXPERTS SAY "I'm not gonna live in fear," Langley added. "We're going to put on music and get to do this for the rest of our lives. And I know that. I know because this is my calling. This is the thing that I was called to do, and I'm going to continue doing it. Nobody is going to take me out of it or scare me out." Langley expressed her gratitude to her fans for coming to her Texas show despite the frightening incident at the Oklahoma concert. "I know yesterday was scary, it was scary for all of us," she said. "But we're just so grateful to be playing this show tonight. We're so grateful and we will never take this for granted. We love it, we love what we do. I wouldn't trade it for the world." "Tonight I can tell that y'all knew that I've needed what you've given me. And this band and this crew — you knew that we needed this show tonight, so thank you so much for giving it to us," Langley added. ED SHEERAN'S GILLETTE STADIUM CONCERTS CALLED OFF AS TROUBLED TOUR FACES FRESH SETBACK Langley announced the cancelation of Friday night's concert on Instagram approximately two hours before the show was scheduled to begin. "Due to a serious security threat involving the safety of my fans, the venue staff, and my team, the incredibly difficult decision was made to cancel tonight’s show. This decision was made under the advisement of local authorities, the venue, and my security team," the singer began. She said the decision followed guidance from local authorities, venue officials and her security team, adding that she refused to put anyone in danger. "I know how much time, travel, money, and planning goes into coming to a show, and I can’t tell you how sorry I am. This is not a decision that was made lightly. I was so looking forward to spending tonight with you, but your safety will always mean more to me than anything else. I refuse to put anyone in harm’s way," the country music star's statement concluded. The BOK Center also released a statement on Friday. "The safety and well-being of everyone involved is our absolute priority, and after careful consideration, we have determined that the show cannot proceed. We understand the disappointment this news brings and apologize to fans who planned to attend. The safety of fans is our foremost concern and will always come first," the statement read. The official Instagram account for the BOK Center said that ticket refunds and additional information will be shared as soon as possible. Langley's explanation for her decision to cancel the concert comes after the Tulsa Police Department said that they found no credible threat to the event. In a since-deleted statement posted to Facebook, the department explained that officers had conducted routine security sweeps before the concert using K-9 units, bomb technicians, patrol officers and venue security personnel and "did not find anything" dangerous. "A call was made threatening the lives of people attending the event," they continued. "Out of an abundance of caution, we swept the building and surrounding area and again found no credible threat to the event's safety. We advised the performer's staff that we found no credible threat to the event, but they decided to cancel the performance anyway."

Richard Meulenberg provided additional details in a video posted to Facebook that has since been deleted. Meulenberg said that after the first security sweeps, "the event was ready to go," according to Saving Country Music. "And then what happened was a call came in, saying that someone was going to [do] great harm to the people here at this event in the way of shots fired and bombs. So we came out again in an overabundance of caution, used our bomb dogs again, searched the entire area, we could not find a credible threat here at the BOK Center," he said. "We apologize to everyone who came down to the Tulsa area for this. But everything is safe." In an interview with Tulsa news station Fox23, Meulenberg also emphasized that the department did not recommend canceling the concert. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acc256375342cf4db8ef95e Should Penn State already regret James Franklin firing after loss to USC in 'White Out' game? te 2026-10-12T00:10:11.442Z Should Penn State already regret James Franklin firing after loss to USC in 'White Out' game? Lost among the other big games of week six of the college football season, Oklahoma-Texas, UCLA-Oregon, and Georgia-Alabama, was the most highly attended game of them all: USC-Penn State. Despite the 2026 season being disappointing, to varying degrees, for both schools, it was still a highly anticipated matchup of two big programs looking to salvage their year. Penn State chose to make it the "White Out" game, then sold an incredible number of tickets. A record-breaking number, in fact. The Nittany Lions announced the highest attendance in Beaver Stadium history, packing in a remarkable 114,419 fans for the 7:30 p.m. EDT kickoff. Penn State was coming off a brutal 34-13 loss to Northwestern where they allowed a whopping 506 total yards, including an almost incomprehensible 413 rushing yards to the Wildcat ground game. USC was one week removed from an ugly 25-21 win over Washington, and two weeks removed from a very poor 41-27 loss to Oregon. FIVE IMPORTANT COLLEGE FOOTBALL QUESTIONS THAT WILL BE ANSWERED AFTER THIS WEEKEND'S SLATE For Lincoln Riley, this had become the latest "must-win" game. Already on the hot seat, despite his massive buyout, a loss would effectively end any chance USC had of reaching the College Football Playoff thanks to upcoming games against Ohio State and Indiana. Under Riley, SC has also struggled mightily on the road, particularly in the Eastern Time Zone. Entering Saturday, the Trojans had gone just 4-7 in away games since joining the Big Ten. For Penn State, despite the ugly loss to Northwestern, it was a chance to make several statements. One, that Beaver Stadium is still one of the toughest places to play in the country, and two, that the Nittany Lions would progress in year one of the Matt Campbell era by winning "big games" against ranked teams. Instead, SC made the statement, and in the process, may have cooled off Riley's seat just a bit. Jayden Maiava played one of the best games of his career, completing 21 of 33 passing attempts with three touchdowns, controlling the offense while the running backs struggled to get going. In the second half, as the Nittany Lions defense wore down, King Miller and Waymond Jordan took over, including salting away the game on the final drive in the fourth quarter. Trent Mosley, who'd missed the last couple of games with an injury, showed why he's arguably the most electric freshman in the country, catching nine passes for 111 yards and a touchdown. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Penn State, meanwhile, just wasn't good enough. Against the typically mediocre USC defense, their running attack was virtually non-existent with just 68 yards on 31 attempts. On several second-half drives, the Nittany Lions couldn't get into the end zone after long drives, settling for disappointing field goals.

After USC took an eight-point lead in the fourth quarter, they had a first and 10 at the USC 39-yard line with 6:31 to go. They went incomplete pass, incomplete pass, sack, punt. Even after forcing a punt and getting the ball back, Penn State immediately fumbled the ball right back to the Trojans. SC ran out the clock thanks to a few first downs and another inexplicable PSU mistake. On 3rd-and-3 with just over a minute remaining, the Penn State d-line was called for delay of game for using signals to try and force SC into a false start. Automatic first down, game over. And it came after Riley got Campbell to burn his final timeout by using an unorthodox punt formation. Lincoln Riley outcoaching someone else? Stop the presses. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER The Trojans, and Riley, had to win this game. Penn State is clearly in a rebuilding year after losing many of their players with the James Franklin firing. Their upcoming schedule is brutal; a road game against a suddenly-improved Wisconsin, Ohio State in LA, another road game at Indiana, before closing the season at the Rose Bowl against an impressive UCLA team. Finish 10-2 and there's a chance for the College Football Playoff. But a loss to Penn State might have sent the season off the rails, heading for a 7-5 or 8-4 record that could get Riley fired. That's still a possibility, of course, but overcoming the largest crowd in Penn State history was a necessary first step. Can SC take the next few, arguably tougher steps? It's unlikely, yes, but still possible. Penn State fans and boosters though, might already be regretting their program's big reset. The end of Franklin's tenure in Happy Valley was disappointing, to say the least, but the Nittany Lions were just a few plays away from competing for a National Championship in the 2024-2025 College Football Playoff. Now they've lost three games in a row and are coming off back-to-back poor performances defensively in which they've allowed 936 total yards to Northwestern and USC. The schedule gets easier from here on out, but this is hardly the type of progress fans were hoping for in year one of the Matt Campbell era. It's one thing to lose to elite Ohio State or Michigan teams, it's another to lose three games before the middle of October. James Franklin may not have been the coach to win Penn State a national title, but thus far, there hasn't been much to suggest they're closer to that goal now than they were a year ago. USC has a bye before going to Wisconsin, while Penn State has to immediately regroup for a road trip to Michigan. Seems like both those games will tell us a lot about the direction these programs are heading in.

Angelina Stone, who was eight months pregnant, was killed along with her children and several other relatives, according to local reports.  CBS Pittsburgh reported that Stone was four days away from giving birth, while a family friend told Erie News Now she was expected to deliver "in a couple of days." A GoFundMe organized to help with funeral expenses identified Stone's children as Isiah and Amari’anna and her unborn baby as Kyrie. MONTANA MAN WHO KILLED 4 CHILDREN, 4 OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS AT SUNDAY DINNER WAS ASKED TO MOVE OUT: RELATIVE "This situation is horrific and unimaginable," neighbor Jennifer Macko told CBS Pittsburgh. Lisa Simmers, a family friend, remembered Stone's children as "beautiful, beautiful children" who "definitely did not deserve what happened to them." "She had a daughter that was almost two, and her son Isiah, who I believe was like four or five," Simmers told Erie News Now. Erie Police Chief Rick Lorah said Saturday that eight victims were killed in the Friday evening shooting before the suspected gunman, a 45-year-old man, died from what investigators believe was a self-inflicted gunshot wound. 8 FAMILY MEMBERS, INCLUDING 6 CHILDREN, FOUND DEAD IN MICHIGAN FIRE; AT LEAST ONE VICTIM SHOT: POLICE The suspected gunman was related to seven of the eight victims and was the family's patriarch and a grandfather, according to police and a relative who spoke to The Associated Press. The eighth victim was a family friend, Lorah said. Police Chief Rick Lorah said mental health may have played a role in the shooting but cautioned that it was too early to determine a motive.. Investigators believe all eight victims and the suspected gunman died before officers arrived. The GoFundMe organizer said the family was seeking help covering funeral expenses for Stone and her children. "I'm raising funds for Angelina, Isiah, baby girl Amari’anna, and unborn Kyrie after an unthinkable tragedy," the fundraiser states. TWO TEEN SUSPECTS HELD AFTER 5 FAMILY MEMBERS KILLED IN 'TARGETED MASS SHOOTING' The organizer added, "This is more than our family can carry alone right now, and we truly need the community to rally around us.

Adam Abdihakeem Adam, 18, posted bond and was released Saturday evening, according to Hennepin County jail records reviewed by Fox News Digital. Police say he shot two teenagers outside Eden Prairie High School during its Oct. 2 homecoming football game, prompting the evacuation of the stadium. His release drew criticism from President Donald Trump’s Rapid Response 47 account, which highlighted police statements linking the shooting to rival Somali gangs. POLICE MAKE ARREST AFTER GUNFIRE DURING CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME LEAVES 1 DEAD "A Radical Left judge immediately granted him a no-condition bail," the account wrote on X. Jail records list a $100,000 bail or bond option without conditions and show Adam was released at 7:04 p.m. Oct. 10. He faces two felony counts of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and one count of second-degree riot while armed with a dangerous weapon. His next court appearance is scheduled for Monday afternoon. MARYLAND MAN ACCUSED OF GIRL'S FATAL SHOOTING RELEASED FROM PRISON DAYS BEFORE The shooting injured an 18-year-old and a 17-year-old and launched a multi-agency hunt for those involved, according to Eden Prairie police. Investigators allege the violence began after two cars entered a parking lot and a fight involving about 10 people broke out. The driver of one car got out, opened fire on the victims and fled, according to charging documents cited by affiliate FOX 9 Minneapolis. Authorities identified that driver as Adam, who allegedly was driving his brother’s car. Investigators tracked his phone with the vehicle before, during and after the shooting, the outlet reported. He then allegedly abandoned the phone and changed his number. SHOOTING NEAR BALTIMORE YOUTH FOOTBALL EVENT LEAVES 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL DEAD, 3 ADULTS WOUNDED A search of his St. Louis Park home turned up clothing matching what the shooter wore in surveillance video, according to the charges cited by FOX 9.

The Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office credited detectives with its Auto Theft Task Force and West Metro Drug Task Force, along with St. Louis Park and Hopkins officers, with safely boxing in the vehicle. "I’m incredibly proud of our officers and investigators who have worked nonstop alongside our law enforcement partners to identify those responsible and hold them accountable," Eden Prairie Police Chief Matt Sackett said after the arrest. AMY KLOBUCHAR CALLS FOR MAJOR ANTI-TERRORISM INVESTMENTS AFTER ALLEGED MALL OF AMERICA PLOT The case has intensified concerns about Somali gang-related violence across the metro area, prompting regional public safety agencies to meet under the coordination of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Michele Tafoya pointed to the homecoming shooting and other recent violence while warning last week that Minnesotans increasingly feel under threat.

Eden Prairie police also are investigating an Oct. 5 shots-fired incident at a Speedway gas station, where no injuries were reported. Investigators said they have not identified a connection between that incident and the homecoming shooting. Sackett said the homecoming investigation remains active, with additional arrests or charges possible. Fox News Digital's Peter D'Abrosca contributed to this report.

President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are "extremely pissed off" by Guilfoyle’s reported conduct and are weighing her removal, The Associated Press reported Sunday, citing a senior U.S. official. The official told the AP that a decision on what action to take would likely come this week after Monday’s Columbus Day holiday. No departure has been confirmed. Guilfoyle, onetime fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., came under scrutiny this week after The Wall Street Journal reported that she asked Trump donor Eric Deters to pay off a $100,000 American Express bill shortly before her Senate confirmation hearing. MARCO RUBIO ANNOUNCES SWEEPING FINANCIAL SANCTIONS AGAINST THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT According to messages reviewed by the Journal, Guilfoyle urged Deters to wire the money directly to American Express, saying the transaction would not leave a paper trail, while offering to help him gain access to senior Trump administration officials. Deters said he never made the payment. Guilfoyle's attorney, Jesse Binnall, disputed the authenticity of the messages. The allegations followed an earlier Journal investigation into Guilfoyle's conduct in Greece, including claims that she promoted the interests of Greek construction and energy company Aktor Group and allowed its registered lobbyist, Christos Marafatsos, to accompany her to private diplomatic meetings with senior officials. FORMER TRUMP CABINET OFFICIAL HAD 'INAPPROPRIATELY CLOSE' RELATIONSHIP WITH BODYGUARD, IG FINDS The Journal also reported that Guilfoyle suggested at a dinner with Greek officials that the U.S. would undermine their government, citing political developments in Romania. Greece's foreign minister has since said there was no need to summon Guilfoyle for an explanation because the country's energy minister denied that any threat had been made. Separately, the State Department's Office of Inspector General opened an investigation into allegations involving Guilfoyle's treatment of embassy employees, private travel, acceptance of gifts and relationships with business interests, according to a report from the Daily Mail. 3 SECRET SERVICE OFFICIALS UNDER INTERNAL INVESTIGATION FOR POTENTIAL MISCONDUCT Sources described a hostile workplace in which Guilfoyle allegedly threatened to fire employees. They also claim that she demoted members of her security detail over minor incidents, including an officer who reportedly failed to answer a 4 a.m. request for ice while she was vacationing in Mykonos. The inspector general's office declined to confirm or deny the existence of an investigation. Binnall told the Daily Mail that "any implication of wrongdoing by the Ambassador is unsupported." The allegations have drawn scrutiny from congressional Democrats, including Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., and Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., who have called for a review of Guilfoyle's conduct. Meeks urged her removal if the allegations were substantiated. Vice President JD Vance addressed the controversy Friday, cautioning against rushing to judgment while acknowledging that misconduct should carry consequences. OHIO BAKERY WORKERS RECOUNT SURPRISE JD VANCE ENCOUNTER THAT TOOK AN UNEXPECTED TURN "Let's actually see what the facts are. Let's see what the truth is," Vance told reporters in Ohio. "And obviously, if there was something bad that happened, then people have to suffer consequences for it." Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who visited Greece this week and delivered remarks with the backdrop of Acropolis, declined to address the allegations directly. SEC MARCO RUBIO: THE WEST FORGOT WHAT MADE IT GREAT. WE MUST REDISCOVER OUR ROOTS BEFORE WE LOSE THEM "You guys walk around thinking that because some source told you something and you reported it, it's the gospel. It's not the gospel," Rubio told reporters Thursday. Rubio had defended Guilfoyle's performance a day earlier, saying, "Our ambassador has been a strong ambassador here." FOUR AMERICAN TOURISTS AMONG 6 KILLED AFTER EXPLOSION LEVELS BUILDING NEAR ATHENS’ ACROPOLIS Trump nominated Guilfoyle to the diplomatic post in December 2024. A former California prosecutor and Fox News Channel personality, she previously served as a prominent surrogate and fundraiser for the president.

She was engaged to Don Jr. for four years, but the two publicly split in Dec. 2024 — the same month the president nominated her to be the ambassador to Greece. The president’s eldest son married Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson in May of this year. She was also previously married to California Gov.

The Giants and Commanders couldn’t settle Sunday’s back-and-forth game in regulation or overtime, finishing 27-27 for their second tie in three seasons. Washington built a 14-point fourth-quarter lead before Jameis Winston rallied New York to force overtime. The real chaos was still to come. GIANTS QUARTERBACK JAMEIS WINSTON CHANNELS HIS CHRISTIAN FAITH AFTER ANOTHER DRAMATIC VICTORY The Giants appeared to have a chance to win with less than two minutes left in overtime. But as New York tried to run down the clock, Cam Skattebo fumbled, and Washington recovered. The turnover gave the Commanders possession, but they still had work to do. They took over near midfield and needed a drive to get into field-goal range. 'I LOST US THAT GAME': NICK SIRIANNI MAKES DECISION THAT OPENED DOOR TO A JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS COMEBACK WIN Washington answered with self-destruction. Jayden Daniels, who ran for 103 yards, drove the Commanders to the Giants’ 24-yard line with 12 seconds remaining. With no timeouts and facing second-and-8, Daniels scrambled for no gain. Washington couldn’t spike the ball before time expired, throwing away an easy shot for the game-winning boot. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Skattebo took responsibility for his fumble after the game. "At the end of the day I have to take care of the ball," he said. "I gotta hold on to the ball and make sure these guys know that when my name’s called, we’re gonna be okay." As the game ended, coach Dan Quinn slammed his headset in frustration. Quinn took responsibility for the final sequence after the game. "The sequencing of that does not fall on [Jayden]. ... I haven't spoken to him but that one's on me. We don't need to put him in that space." He summed up the result bluntly: "The tie feels like a loss." NFL'S DUMBEST MOMENT OF WEEK 2 GOES TO JETS COACH AARON GLENN WHO PLAYED NOT TO LOSE AT END OF REGULATION Daniels also accepted responsibility. "We gotta relay that as a offense, it starts from everybody top down. Ultimately, it’s on me." Commanders part-owner Magic Johnson offered his opinion on the game: "I’m in total disbelief my Commanders had such poor clock management in today’s overtime game against the Giants. All we had to do was kick the field goal and we would have won the game!" No NFC East team won this week. The Cowboys lost Thursday, and the Eagles fell earlier Sunday, but the Giants and Commanders couldn’t capitalize on the opening. After 70 minutes, several missed field goals and two costly overtime mistakes, both teams walked away with a tie.

Greenlaw hit Seattle's Sam Darnold as he was running out of bounds along the Seahawks sideline during the second quarter at Lumen Field. That got him flagged for a personal foul. And because the play happened along the Seattle sideline and fully onto their bench area, Greenlaw was immediately surrounded by Seahawks players. Seattle linebacker Ernest Jones, who has in the past offered a very moving verbal support for Darnold, got in Greenlaw's face. The thing is, Greenlaw was wearing his helmet and Jones was not. Greenlaw then headbutted Jones. FOX NFL's cameras showed Jones using a towel to wipe his face, including an apparent cut caused by Greenlaw's headbutt.

FALCONS' JAMES PEARCE HIT WITH 8-GAME SUSPENSION AS NFL ANNOUNCES WAVE OF BANS ACROSS THE LEAGUE According to NFL Operations guidelines, after the game, the NFL office reviews incidents such as this. The league can choose to issue a fine, a warning, or a suspension, depending on the severity of the action (such as throwing a punch or severe endangerment of an opponent). Any suspension is a separate disciplinary ruling, not an automatic rule of disqualification. KEENAN ALLEN FACES NFL SUSPENSION AFTER BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVEL NEARLY TRIPLE THE LEGAL LIMIT: REPORT A suspension is only issued if the post-game review of the situation determines the act was "conduct detrimental to the League" or a severe violation of player safety. This is decided on a case-by-case basis by the NFL’s disciplinary officers rather than as part of an automatic rule metric. Greenlaw has a history of becoming emotional. And getting fined.

Following a 33-32 victory over the New York Giants in Week 7 of the 2025 season while playing for the Denver Broncos, Greenlaw chased and verbally threatened referee Brad Allen as the officiating crew was leaving the field. NFL REFS HAVE SET ALL-TIME RECORD FOR FLAGS THIS SEASON, AND IT'S CHANGING THE OUTCOME OF GAMES The league suspended Greenlaw, determining his aggressive post-game behavior violated Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1(b), which strictly prohibits the use of abusive, threatening, or insulting language or gestures toward game officials. Last week, Greenlaw was fined $11,941 for unsportsmanlike conduct after taunting the Broncos' sideline and head coach Sean Payton. A MASSIVE BRAWL AT COWBOYS AND SAINTS JOINT PRACTICE INCLUDES PUNCHES AND HELMETS THROWN AND WWE MOVES And in 2023, Greenlaw was ejected following a sideline altercation with Philadelphia Eagles head of security Dom DiSandro during another incident along the opponent's sideline.

Visceral fat, which sits deep inside the abdomen wrapped around internal organs, affects metabolism, influences insulin resistance and can impact the development of type 2 diabetes. Research published in March by the American Heart Association found that visceral fat had a stronger association with the risk of heart failure than body mass index (BMI). YOUR WAISTLINE COULD REVEAL A HIDDEN HEART RISK YOUR BMI MISSES, MAJOR STUDY FINDS The trials tested whether the injection could diminish visceral fat deposits, and they were conducted by Dr. W. Timothy Garvey of the University of Alabama at Birmingham and Yu-Fang Ling of Caliway Biopharmaceuticals in New Taipei City, Taiwan. Previous phase 2 trials had already shown that the drug could reduce subcutaneous fat, the layer of fat directly beneath the skin. MRI scans from two phase 2 trials exhibited a decrease in visceral fat in participants who received the CBL-514 drug, while the visceral fat increased in those who received a placebo drug. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER Participants who were given CBL-514 received injections into their lower abdomen every three weeks for up to 12 weeks, with doses of up to 600 milligrams. The number of injections given to participants depended on the thickness of their abdominal fat. As the fat layer decreased in volume, the number of injections also decreased. The CBL-514 injection selectively sparks apoptosis—a process which causes cells to self-destruct—but only in fat cells, leaving nearby cells unharmed. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE NEWS Four weeks after the final treatment, the average volume of fat had lowered by 12.01% in the group given CBL-514, while it had increased by 5.68% in the group that received a placebo, SciTechDaily reported. The potential cosmetic effects, such as a flatter stomach due to subcutaneous fat loss, are appealing to patients, Garvey acknowledged. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ However, what’s even more important, he noted, is the decrease in body weight, improved blood pressure and cholesterol, and the loss of visceral fat that the injection can cause, as these factors impact overall health. Liposuction, a common surgical cosmetic procedure, cannot remove visceral fat, and thus cannot reduce the health risks caused by a high amount of visceral fat.

Host Kristen Welker closed her interview asking El-Sayed whether he believed America was "ready" to elect a Muslim candidate for president. "That's not a question I'm asking," El-Sayed answered. "I think Michigan is ready for a Muslim senator." MICHIGAN DEM HOPEFUL ABDUL EL-SAYED JABS CNN GIVING HIM 'NON-CONSENSUAL COLONOSCOPY' IN RECENT INTERVIEWS Welker repeated the question, but El-Sayed continued to say the question was "irrelevant" and that Michigan was ready for a Muslim senator. "Okay, but you don't rule out the possibility that—?" Welker asked. "I have no intention of ever running for president. That is not a thing I've ever wanted to do," El-Sayed said. EL-SAYED TAUNTS TRUMP, CLAIMS HE'S GOING TO MAKE HIM 'MAIN CHARACTER OF THE MIDTERMS' He continued, "I want to be a really great senator for my state. You know, someday, somewhere, somebody down the line decides to run, that would have been a really amazing thing to see how big America really is. But for right now, I really want to be the next senator from Michigan. That's what I’d like to be for a long time to come. I'm looking forward to serving out the next six years. I'm honored to get to do this. And look, America is a big place, and America has this incredible way of reminding us how big she really is. And that starts in Michigan." During the interview, Welker also asked another question about a presidential run while referencing a reported comment made by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., where she remarked, "If Abdul can win in Michigan, anybody can win anywhere." HARRIS JOINS FORCES WITH RADICAL SENATE NOMINEE IN KEY SWING STATE AS 2028 WHISPERS SWIRL "If you lose Michigan, does that mean that a progressive like AOC can't win the White House in 2028?" Welker said. "Look, this is one seat in Michigan that has a lot more to do with our local issues in Michigan than it has to do with a national referendum," El-Sayed said. Fox News Digital reached out to NBC and El-Sayed's campaign for comment. El-Sayed's interview came after his Thursday debate with GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers in which Rogers brought up alleged ties between El-Sayed and the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organization. El-Sayed has repeatedly denied these ties. He also rejected the premise when asked by Welker. "No," he said, before claiming the allegation was based in Islamophobia. "It's truly shameful, but he has no ideas, he doesn't actually care about solving problems," El-Sayed said of Rogers. In a comment to Fox News Digital, Media Research Center President David Bozell criticized what he considered Welker's eagerness to consider El-Sayed a presidential candidate. "NBC took one look at Abdul El-Sayed and started planning the presidential library. Never mind Hasan Piker. Never mind Michigan. Meet the Press skipped the vetting and went straight to measuring El-Sayed’s Oval Office drapes," Bozell said.

Retired Gen. Philip Breedlove, former NATO supreme allied commander Europe and head of U.S. European Command, told Fox News Digital that Washington also risks undermining Ukraine's war effort by striking a deal with what he called "the enemy." "And so we are cutting a deal with the enemy," Breedlove said, warning that "all of this money will go into fueling Mr. Putin's continued attacks in Ukraine." The Russian government said Saturday it had partially lifted a ban on diesel exports with immediate effect, following the new agreement between Putin and Trump for Russia to supply the U.S. and global markets, Reuters reported. As previously reported by Fox News Digital, Trump's package calls for the release of 300,000 tonnes of diesel "to the American and global marketplace," followed by 500,000 tonnes in November and another 1 million tonnes afterward. KATIE ZACHARIA HITS GROUND RUNNING, PROMISES TRUMP DIESEL DEAL DELIVERS CHEAPER GAS FOR AMERICANS The diesel agreement preceded Trump's announcement Sunday of what he called an "energy ceasefire" between Russia and Ukraine, with the president saying both sides had agreed to halt attacks on energy infrastructure. "Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine. Both parties have agreed. Do not break it!" Trump wrote on Truth Social. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, however, indicated that Ukraine had not been informed of a finalized ceasefire agreement but expressed willingness to halt attacks on Russian energy facilities if Moscow reciprocated. He also accused Putin of repeatedly rejecting peace proposals and continuing strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. "Ukraine has proposed many de-escalatory steps. Putin had one answer to all of them – 'nyet,'" Zelenskyy wrote on X. "We do hope that he will finally say something to America, Ukraine, and the entire world that will lead to a real and dignified peace," he added. Zelenskyy also said Russian forces had carried out more than 200 strikes on Ukraine's electricity generation and transmission facilities over the past week, along with 17 strikes targeting gas and oil infrastructure. He said the attacks had killed more than 150 people and wounded more than 700 over the past week. Trump's "energy ceasefire" announcement followed tension between Washington and Kyiv over Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian oil refineries, a component of Ukraine's strategy to weaken Moscow's ability to finance its military campaign. UKRAINE TARGETS RUSSIA WITH OVER 1,000 DRONES, KILLING 2 AS MOSCOW HOLDS LAST DAY OF ELECTIONS Breedlove argued that Russia and Ukraine are pursuing different objectives, accusing Moscow of targeting Ukrainian civilians and critical infrastructure while describing Kyiv's attacks on Russian energy facilities as an effort to disrupt the revenue sustaining Putin's war. "Russia is carrying on a campaign of what we call counter value. In other words, Russia is attacking the Ukrainian people and trying to force their society to separate themselves from their president, President Zelenskyy," Breedlove said. Breedlove also predicted Washington would pressure Zelenskyy to suspend attacks on Russia's oil industry despite their strategic importance. "What I expect will happen is the United States will force or try to force Zelenskyy to stop bombing the petrochemical business in Russia," he said. TRUMP'S DIESEL IDEA COULD HAVE UNLEASHED A PROBLEM AMERICANS NEVER SAW COMING Trump has vehemently criticized Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries, arguing that they are disrupting global diesel supplies and driving up costs for American farmers and ranchers. Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended the administration's efforts to increase diesel supplies. "We're going to do it with all the legal authorities we have," Bessent said Sunday on Fox News. "This is good for the American people, bringing these diesel prices down," he said of the new deal. Separately, appearing on ABC News' "This Week," Zelenskyy offered to organize Ukrainian elections if Putin agreed to a reciprocal 60-day ceasefire, although holding a vote would face legal and logistical obstacles under Ukraine's martial law. Breedlove also expressed deep skepticism that Putin would honor any such ceasefire, citing what he described as a pattern of Russian attacks following negotiations with Trump. "Russia has never kept a promise to this president in this war," Breedlove said. UKRAINE'S ATTACKS ON RUSSIA ARE PUSHING PUTIN CLOSER TO NEGOTIATING TABLE, TRUMP NATO AMBASSADOR SAYS "He's never changed his expectations, and he's never delivered on his promises. Three out of four of the big cases, the very next day or that same night after the president and Mr. Putin talked, Mr. Putin launched huge attacks in Ukraine," Breedlove continued. Breedlove also called for a tougher U.S. response. "We now need an administration that leads from power. We say all the time, 'strength through power,' but when it comes to Russia, our demonstrated position is continued conflict through weakness," Breedlove warned. "He started this war. This war is to benefit Russia, and this war is to keep Mr. Putin in power. And our administration needs to tell him to stop." Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acc093f75342cf4db8ef4a1 Aaron Rodgers defies Father Time with another three-touchdown performance in Steelers’ win te 2026-10-11T22:10:07.115Z Aaron Rodgers defies Father Time with another three-touchdown performance in Steelers’ win I thought Aaron Rodgers was cooked coming into the 2026 season, and his performances in the first two weeks did little to change my mind. In my Week 2 takeaways column, I described him as "an old quarterback whose career probably should have ended three years ago." Yeah, so, that assessment could use an update. The 42-year-old threw three touchdown passes Sunday as the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Indianapolis Colts, 34-22, to improve to 3-2. Rodgers finished with 235 passing yards and has now thrown three touchdowns in three consecutive games. 'WHAT THE F--K, CALL IT!': AARON RODGERS AND MIKE MCCARTHY CURSE AT EACH OTHER DURING HOT MIC MOMENT Over that stretch, he's passed for 826 yards and nine touchdowns. That's pretty good production for anyone, let alone a quarterback who is likely playing in his final NFL season. For comparison, Rodgers had more turnovers (2) than touchdown passes (1) in the first two games. Now, he's still averaging one turnover per game after throwing three interceptions in the past three games, so he has to clean that up. He didn’t turn the ball over Sunday, though, showing he's still got some football left in that 42-year-old right arm. The encouraging part for Pittsburgh is that Rodgers is giving the offense something to build on each week. Sunday's opening possession went backward, costing the Steelers 15 yards before they punted. But Rodgers responded quickly. On Pittsburgh's next possession, he got the ball to Jaylen Warren just before taking a hit from defensive tackle Grover Stewart, and Warren turned the short completion into an 80-yard touchdown. Rodgers went on to complete his first 11 passes and didn't have an incompletion until midway through the second quarter. Of course, Warren deserves plenty of credit for making his quarterback's numbers look better. He finished with 188 yards from scrimmage and added a 50-yard touchdown run to go with the long receiving score. That's a pretty productive afternoon. JASON KELCE’S EAGLES-JAGUARS BROADCAST SHOWS WHY NFL BOOTHS COULD USE MORE OFFENSIVE LINEMEN But Rodgers also delivered when Pittsburgh needed to put some distance between itself and Indianapolis. With the Steelers leading 24-22 in the fourth quarter, Rodgers found Pat Freiermuth for a 17-yard touchdown on third-and-6. It was Freiermuth's second touchdown catch of the afternoon and basically locked up the victory. There were a couple of historical accomplishments mixed in, too. The touchdown pass to Warren moved Rodgers ahead of Peyton Manning for third in career touchdown passes, including the postseason. Only Tom Brady and Drew Brees remain ahead of him. DRE GREENLAW'S SEAN PAYTON BEEF EXPOSES ANOTHER SIDE OF THE NFL'S MOST OVERRATED HEAD COACH The victory also gave Rodgers 166 regular-season wins as a starting quarterback, moving him past Ben Roethlisberger into fifth place all time. Passing a Steelers legend while wearing a Steelers uniform is a nice bonus. The career accomplishments are impressive, obviously. But Steelers fans have a more immediate interest in whether Rodgers can keep playing like this. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Pittsburgh needs an offense that can take advantage when its defense gets stops, finish drives with touchdowns and deliver a big play when a game gets uncomfortable. Rodgers and Warren gave the Steelers all of that against Indianapolis. There's still plenty of season left, and three good games don't settle every question about this team. They're also in the very competitive AFC North, where all four teams have three wins already. The upcoming schedule provides an opportunity for Rodgers and the Steelers to keep rolling. Pittsburgh plays at Tampa Bay in Week 6 and then faces New Orleans in Paris. The Buccaneers and Saints are a combined 2-8. After that comes a pair of crucial division games against the Browns and Bengals with a bye week in between. It remains to be seen if Rodgers can keep up this level of production as the season wears on. But after throwing nine touchdown passes in three games? Yeah, I probably buried Rodgers a little too soon.

The "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" star told Variety that trying to become a politician sounds "terrible" and "tawdry" to him. "I just think that’s enormously — I don’t know, man, that seems terrible," Affleck told the outlet while promoting a new movie in which he plays a candidate for L.A. mayor. "There’s a reason why political stories are often chosen as parables for moral compromise. You really get thrust up into the contrast between the ideal version of us and how we should be in our lives and the way it is." BEN AFFLECK DIRECTS, STARS IN NETFLIX KIDNAPPING THRILLER 'ANIMALS' COMING THIS OCTOBER The 54-year-old called politics a "very depressing world, in my opinion. Tawdry. And that has no appeal to me." He also declined to tell the outlet who he was backing for mayor in Los Angeles this November. "I haven’t thought about being asked that. I don’t know if, given this movie, my endorsement harms or helps anybody," he admitted. "I should stay agnostic, at least until the movie comes out." Affleck told Good Morning America on Wednesday that he believes the "collective bar for politics because of the way the political world has sort of evolved has gotten so low that there’s this kind of like, you know, people are just sort of looking for like just ‘Somebody shoot me straight.’’" FOX NEWS POLL: VOTERS WANT MAJOR CHANGE AMID ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL DISCONTENT He added that there’s a sense in the country, whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican that "we’re not doing a very good job. We have a system that’s kind of failing us." Playing a man running for mayor taught him: "This is not all that much fun. And it would be a hard way — you’re just raising money all the time." NETFLIX DROPS FULL TRAILER FOR BEN AFFLECK'S 'ANIMALS' AND EXPECTATIONS ARE ALREADY SOARING He said that he and the man playing his campaign manager in the movie decided one day to take campaign shirts and hats with the name of his character, go out in L.A. and claim he was running for mayor. When he told people he was running as his character, Affleck said voters would ask for a selfie, they seemed interested and "people would launch into their whole thing and I was like ‘If I’m not careful, I’m going to win this.'"

GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE When told his campaign ad in the movie was good, he answered, "I'd be flattered, except I think there's such a low bar in politics these days." Affleck explained that his movie "Animals" is about the moral compromises people make. "The extremely effective nature of when a person individually has something to lose is when they're most apt to make compromises," he says. "Are we just kind of self-seeking animals who, in retrospect, build stories to rationalize where we are and what we've done? And there's another part of us, our sort of higher selves, which says, 'Well, I'm going to adhere this moral code even if there's a cost to me.'" LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE But he said he’s now "averse" to the idea because he’s seen so much "hypocrisy, corruption and failure." "The way it's constructed now is so geared around money, sound bites, cruelties and gotchas, and little snarky things that really have nothing to do with people's lives whatsoever," he said. "And increasingly, it's easier to get votes appealing to the worst in people than it is appealing to the best in them. If you're telling a story about kind of morality and compromise, there are lots of pressures that are constantly asking you to sacrifice your principles."

A judge in Ensenada on Friday found Jesús Gerardo García, known as "El Kekas," Irineo Francisco "N," and Ángel Jesús "N," guilty of murdering Callum and Jake Robinson, along with their friend Carter Rhoad, in Baja, California, in April 2024, The Associated Press reported. The men were also convicted of armed robbery and armed carjacking. Judge Raúl Hernández is scheduled to announce their sentences Oct. 16, with the Baja California State Attorney General’s Office seeking 210 years in prison for each defendant, according to the AP. MINNESOTA FATHER CONVICTED OF KILLING TEENAGE SON WHOSE REMAINS WERE FOUND IN LANDFILL The verdicts followed a month-long trial that included testimony about one victim pleading for his life before the killings. García’s former partner, Ary Gisell Silva Raya, testified that he told her he approached the surfers’ tent carrying a 9mm pistol, the AP reported. The men threw their belongings toward him in an effort to stop the attack, and one begged to be spared, she said. AMERICAN AIRLINES FLIGHT ATTENDANT'S ALLEGED KILLERS TIED TO GANG ACCUSED OF PREYING ON TOURISTS: OFFICIALS According to her testimony, García ignored the plea. The friends had traveled to Baja, California, to surf and were reported missing after arriving in Punta San Jose, about 50 miles from Ensenada. Their bodies were discovered in a well May 3, 2024. MEXICAN SPORTS JOURNALIST ROBBED AT GUNPOINT DURING LIVE REPORT Authorities initially said the men were killed after confronting thieves who wanted the tires from their pickup truck. Chief state prosecutor María Elena Andrade Ramírez said at the time that investigators believed the thieves spotted the truck and tents, then encountered resistance from the surfers during the attempted theft. García allegedly told his girlfriend he had done something to "three gringos" before admitting, "I killed them," according to the BBC’s account of a May 2024 court hearing. She also said he showed her a vehicle fitted with tires allegedly stolen from the victims’ truck. MAN ACCUSED OF KILLING PARTNER ARRESTED IN MEXICO NEARLY TWO YEARS AFTER FLEEING WITH THEIR TWO CHILDREN Silva Raya was found with one victim’s cellphone. Prosecutors said she met the surfers April 27, 2024, and urged one of her companions to rob them, the AP reported. She pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery with violence and vehicle theft with violence and was sentenced to 20 years in prison in November 2025. García and the other two men went to trial. JURY CONVICTS KEVIN SALAZAR IN EXECUTION-STYLE KILLING OF LA DEPUTY RYAN CLINKUNBROOMER The guilty verdicts brought a measure of relief to the Robinson family more than two years after the brothers’ deaths. Their father, Martin Robinson, described the decision as a significant moment in the family’s painful pursuit of justice, according to the AP. He said the outcome could not undo their loss but offered a step toward justice as they continued honoring the three men. MAN PLEADS GUILTY TO 2023 KILLING OF LAUREN HEIKE ON PHOENIX HIKING TRAIL The brothers’ mother, Debra Robinson, spoke about their love of surfing during a tribute on a San Diego beach shortly after their bodies were found. "Our hearts are broken, and the world has become a darker place for us," she said at the time. "They were young men enjoying their passion of surfing together." She recalled that Jake, a doctor, sought work at hospitals near surfing beaches and urged others to honor her sons by embracing life. "Live bigger, shine brighter, and love harder in their memory," she said. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

He was asked if the Texans are indeed one of the teams interested in trading for Arizona Cardinals receiver Marvin Harrison. And since he was already in a good mood, Ryans made it official. "You guys want to know, huh," Ryans said between chuckles. "Yes, alright, we traded for Marvin Harrison. "See ya." An NFL source told OutKick the Texans are sending a second and sixth-round pick to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for Harrison and a seventh-round pick. The Texans were one of multiple teams that talked to the Cardinals about the former first-round wide receiver as a trade target in recent days, as OutKick reported on Saturday. But the lure for the Texans was tied to the fact Harrison played with quarterback C.J. Stroud at Ohio State — a combination that made both top-four draft picks in back-to-back years, 2023 and 2024. Plus, the Texans have need on the outside because, other than Nico Collins, they have had difficulty finding a playmaker on the perimeter.

FOLLOW ARMANDO SALGUERO ON X: @ARMANDOSALGUERO Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acbffe075342cf4db8ef345 Quiet part out loud: Anti-Israel mobs want one state called 'Palestine,' erasing Israel te 2026-10-11T21:30:08.294Z Quiet part out loud: Anti-Israel mobs want one state called 'Palestine,' erasing Israel WASHINGTON, D.C. — This weekend, millions of anti-Israel activists marched through the streets of cities in coordinated actions from America's capital to London, Paris, Madrid and Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia, chanting the familiar refrains of "Free, free Palestine" and "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free." But for the first time, communicated frankly in exclusive interviews with Fox News Digital, three anti-Israel leaders acknowledged the goal: one state called "Palestine" encompassing modern-day Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, with a Palestinian "right of return" to the new country and equal political, voting and citizenship rights for Palestinians alongside Jews currently living in Israel. Most significantly, in the political vision they described, Israel would legally cease to exist as a separate Jewish nation-state and Jews would be quickly overwhelmed demographically. INSIDE THE PROTEST PLAYBOOK TO VILIFY ISRAEL ON 'GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION' The current population of Israel is about 10 million, including about 7.8 million Jews, 2 million Palestinian Arabs (including Palestinians and most of them Muslim), and 200,000 people from other communities. There are another estimated 10.2 million Jews worldwide. There are about 5.5 million Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza and about 8 million Palestinians in the diaspora, totaling about 13.5 million. The candor of the anti-Israel leaders lays bare the political conclusion of an argument that activists have spent years advancing on the streets, through sympathetic media outlets and in legal forums: that Israel is a "settler colonial" state practicing "apartheid" and "genocide," and therefore should not continue to exist in its current form as a Jewish state. Israeli leaders have fiercely rejected those allegations, disputing accusations of "genocide" and "apartheid" and maintaining that Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people with equal civil and political rights for citizens that include Jews, Christians and Muslims. Advocates for Israel note that the nation's critics rarely apply the same historical lens of human-rights analysis to Arab and Muslim-majority states, many of which emerged from the collapse of empires, wars and population upheavals that displaced millions, including Jews expelled from their countries, today often restricting political, religious and minority rights. NOBEL PEACE PRIZE AWARDED TO UN JURIST WHO ACCUSED ISRAEL OF COMMITTING GENOCIDE IN GAZA In Chicago, Hatem Abudayyeh, the Palestinian-American founder of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network and a Muslim, said the new nation would be "one democratic secular state of Palestine." Jewish Israeli-born community leader Miko Peled, founder of the Palestine House in Washington, D.C., said "the proper name would be Palestine." And Maryland congressional candidate Sam Husseini, a Palestinian-American Christian, floated another name for the vision of the one state: "1948," marking the year Israel declared independence and Palestinians commemorate as the "Nakba," or catastrophe, but he said even Israeli Jews would one day accept another name: "Palestine." Their answers provide a striking interpretation from inside a movement where activists have traditionally danced around their demands with euphemisms about "liberation" and media outlets have obscured their answers even when they have been transparent. On Washington, D.C.'s First Avenue SE, Fox News Digital asked Olivia DiNucci, local coordinator for CodePink, a far-left nonprofit, what her group sees as a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In her work for CodePink, DiNucci disrupts hearings, restaurant meals and town halls to shout at lawmakers and policymakers who support the state of Israel. ‘TROJAN HORSES’ IN AMERICA: CONGRESS PROBES INFLUENCE NETWORKS TIED TO CHINA, IRAN AND CUBA "Palestinians in Palestine will decide, DiNucci said. Asked if "Palestine" includes modern day Israel, she spun around and walked away. Later, she posted a message on social media, saying she was asked "gotcha questions." This weekend, protesters signaled their position with certainty, explicitly rejecting the two-state solution that has dominated international diplomacy for decades. In New York City, the Party for Socialism and Liberation circulated video of protesters marching through the streets chanting: "1-2-3-4. Occupation no more. 5-6-7-8. Israel is a terrorist state." ISRAEL, JEWS TARGETED WORLDWIDE AS WELL-FUNDED LEFTIST, ISLAMIST GROUPS JOIN FOR ‘NAKBA 78’ PROTESTS Then came the point: "We don't want no two state!" In London, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign promoted a 15-second video of a woman with a megaphone shouting: "There is only one state!" "Palestine, '48!" protesters responded. "Say it loud, say it clear!" she continued. "Palestine, you make us proud!" Back in Washington, D.C., protesters carried signs declaring, "LAND YOU HAVE 2 KILL FOR IS NOT YOURS," a message that challenged Israel's claim to the land itself, while a banner proclaiming, "THE FIGHT FOR LIBERATION IS OURS," framed the struggle as one for the territory. The demonstrators yesterday didn't address the Hamas attacks on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, but many have called them justified. ANTI-ISRAEL GROUPS RALLY ACROSS US ON OCTOBER 7 ANNIVERSARY, CHANTING 'LONG LIVE THE INTIFADA' The one-state demand is being amplified within a powerful protest infrastructure. The broader "red-green" alliance brings socialist and communist groups together on the streets with Palestinian and Muslim activist organizations, while organizations including the Democratic Socialists of America and nonprofits in the network funded by Neville Roy Singham, an American-born tech tycoon living in Shanghai, help organize, promote and amplify anti-Israel demonstrations. Singham, has poured $278 million into a pro-communist network, including CodePink, the People's Forum, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, BreakThrough News and the ANSWER Coalition, which have become major organizing, media and logistical hubs for the protest movement. The result is a powerful infrastructure amplifying slogans such as "Free Palestine" and "from the river to the sea," even when the organizations and activists doing the amplifying don't themselves explicitly spell out the one-state political vision described to Fox News Digital. From Chicago, Abudayyeh told Fox News Digital that the U.S. Palestinian Community Network advocates for one democratic state across the territory that today encompasses Israel, the West Bank and Gaza. "Our points of unity, from the very beginning of our existence, included one democratic secular state of Palestine," he said. "And for decades and decades, we've been saying that...the only true solution that can bring peace and justice to all that live there is ... one democratic state," which includes the West Bank, Gaza and "1948 Palestinian territories," a term used to describe the land that Israel claimed as a nation in 1948. This can only happen, he said, if "the racist system of Zionism is dismantled." The ADL, a leading Jewish organization based in New York, describes Zionism as a "movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel." Abudayyeh said the new state would include a "right of return" for Palestinian refugees and their descendants. "Our points of unity from day one included the right of return," he said. Activists from a U.S.-based network of groups called "Al-Awda: The Palestine Right to Return Coalition" joined the protest in Los Angeles and posted a message online: "OUR PEOPLE WILL RETURN, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE! "If all of our refugees, who have the internationally recognized right to return to Palestine, are able to return, and the system, the racist system is dismantled, then all the people there can live in peace and justice," Abudayyeh told Fox News Digital. "That's our position. It's always been our position. We're not going to abandon the five to seven million refugees that we have." "They have the right to go back to the homes and lands in which they were exiled," he explained. Abudayyeh said that wouldn't mean removing the people – most of them Jewish – living in Israel. "It doesn't mean that we're going to kick people out," he said. "It just means that these folks have an internationally recognized right, and you will never get peace and justice there unless you uphold that right." "I believe, very clearly, USPCN believes very clearly that there can be peace and justice as long as that system, that racist system of Zionism is dismantled," Abudayyeh said. "That's the essence of it." Abudayyeh compared the Palestinian movement's objective to the international campaign against apartheid South Africa. "And we're getting close to having international consensus today on the question of Israel and Zionism, where Israel doesnt have the "right to exist as a racist, Zionist, apartheid, white supremacist state." "That's what we say," he continued. "We're adamant about that. We're clear about it. Unabashed." Fox News Digital asked Abudayyeh whether "Palestine" includes modern-day Israel when protest leaders and activists chant "Palestine will be free" or "Free, free Palestine." "The majority of the majority of the people, especially in the past period, have moved to that conclusion," Abudayyeh said. Husseini, a Palestinian-American journalist running for Congress in Maryland's 4th Congressional District, offered a similar one-state vision and an unusual proposal for what the country might be called. Standing on First Avenue SE, between the U.S. Supreme Court and the U.S. Capitol, Husseini told Fox News Digital that his long-term vision is "one person, one vote," coupled with a Palestinian right of return. "Ultimately, long-term, I that it should be one person, one vote," Husseini said. "Why aren't they allowed back into their homes? So I think that they should," he said of Palestinian refugees. "I mean, that includes myself. I don't know that I would actually move back there, but as a descendant of a Palestinian who was forcibly displaced, I should have that right or compensation." Husseini offered another possibility for the country's name. "I've often thought of a novel proposal because people get hung up on the names. Are they going to call it Israel or are they going call it Palestine?" Husseini said. "I've toyed with the idea of calling it 1948, having a country with a number signifying the year of this cataclysm, which should be the last gasp of imperialism." If the new state is called Palestine, Husseini said, "I think a lot of Jews, when they think about it, will say, so long as they have equal rights and all are protected, will adopt the term Palestine." Standing on Pennsylvania Avenue SE, the roar of the demonstrators getting closer as they marched from the U.S. Capitol to talks at the Palestine House of Freedom, Miko Peled, an Israeli-born Jewish activist, was equally blunt about what a "Free Palestine" means to him. "Well, our vision, our mission, and our vision is to educate people to see that a free Palestine, which means a post-Zionist, post-apartheid Palestine with equal rights and the right of the Palestinians to return, is the best vision that will benefit everybody who lives there currently, which means Israelis and Palestinians," he said. Asked whether that meant one state, he answered yes. "It's already one state, it's just an apartheid state," Peled said. "So that's our vision, to create a real democracy, free Palestine, with equal rights." Fox News Digital asked what that country would be called. "Well, historically the country was called Palestine for thousands of years and so it should be called Palestine," Peled said. "Israel is a new name. They renamed the country 78 years ago, so the proper name would be Palestine." For Peled, the familiar protest demand "Free Palestine" has a literal political meaning: One state with the new name "Palestine."

The Kentucky Wildcats and LSU Tigers played an all-time classic of a college football game this weekend, with Big Blue Nation pulling off a stunner, downing the top-ten Tigers 35-34 in front of a sold-out crowd at Kroger Field. What this means for the Wildcats and first-year head coach Will Stein can't be overstated, as the new Kentucky head man now has two top-ten wins in his first six games on the job, and the arrow is pointing straight up in the Bluegrass State as of mid-October. KENTUCKY COACH WILL STEIN TELLS WILDCATS PLAYERS 'IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN WHAT WE'RE DOING, YOU ARE HIGH' But on the opposite sideline on Saturday night, LSU head coach Lane Kiffin was left with more questions than answers as the honeymoon phase in Baton Rouge likely came to a screeching halt. Things aren't exactly up in smoke for Kiffin in his first year on the Bayou. LANE KIFFIN KNOWS THERE AREN’T EXCUSES AT LSU. NOW COMES THE TEST OF MAKING IT WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION The Tigers are 4-2 with wins over Clemson and Texas A&M and are still in the AP top-25 as of this afternoon, falling from 10th to 22nd. However, this probably isn't how anyone in purple and gold expected the season to go when they imagined the infinite possibilities back in August. LSU had one of the most expensive rosters in the country, estimated at around $40 million, as well as a coaching staff many considered to be the best in the country, top to bottom. The loss to Ole Miss three weeks ago stung, but was not unexpected. The Rebels were favored and had the benefit of playing at home, and the added context of Kiffin returning to the program, he turned his back on to go coach in The Boot made that a tough one to win. But losing to a first-time head coach at a program that you have a marked talent and resources advantage over is a tough pill to swallow. WHO'S REALLY PLAYED THE BEST THUS FAR THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON? And to top it all off, the Tigers took a massive L on the recruiting trail on Sunday when their flip target, five-star wide receiver and former Texas commit Easton Royal, opted to head to Gainesville and play for the Gators. Losing a five-star prospect to an in-conference rival is never fun, but when you consider Royal is from nearby New Orleans and was long thought to be an LSU lean even while committed to the Longhorns, it makes it even harder to accept. Sure, signing day is still two months away, but that's a prospect you'd rather hold onto than try to flip in the 11th hour. Things don't get any easier for the Bayou Bengals, either. Their October features a visit from top-20 Mississippi State as well as a trip to Jordan Hare to play Auburn. Then they play three consecutive top-15 teams in November (Alabama, Texas, and at Tennessee) before a relative break on the road against Arkansas to end the season. It's not inconceivable to envision another two losses in that stretch. If you asked an LSU fan over the summer if 8-4 was an acceptable year one, they would have laughed in your face, and they would have had every right to do so. Between Kiffin, the coaching staff, and the roster, this is easily a $150 million operation, and 8-4 and a trip to the Duke's Mayo Bowl isn't going to cut the mustard. Kiffin famously pleaded for patience during spring practice, but unfortunately for him, in this day and age of NIL and the transfer portal, patience no longer exists at a tier one program like LSU. My confidence in Kiffin's ability to win at LSU has not waned. First years are rife with trial and error, and not every coach can have a Curt Cignetti-type start to their tenure. Kiffin and his staff will figure out what works and what doesn't on this roster, and trim the fat where necessary. As long as the powers that be continue to fund this thing, LSU and Kiffin will be fine. But Saturday night's loss to Kentucky raises those same uncomfortable questions I already discussed.

Why couldn't a $40 million roster and one of the hottest coaches in the country beat a lower-tier SEC team. If Will Stein can do it in year one, why can't Lane Kiffin? I'm not here to answer those questions or even argue their validity, but this is what folks in Baton Rouge will no doubt be thinking this week. I've said it before, and I will say it again, the honeymoon in Death Valley is over. Now we get to find out if Kiffin is really made for this gig.

In a new study, published in the American Journal of Roentgenology, researchers at NYU Langone Health and its Perlmutter Cancer Center tested an AI model designed to estimate a woman's risk of developing breast cancer within five years. The tool looks at several years of a woman's 3D mammograms to track changes in breast tissue over time, rather than looking only at the latest scan, according to the researchers. NEW ALZHEIMER'S BLOOD TEST PREDICTS WHO IS LIKELY TO DEVELOP DEMENTIA IN 5 TO 10 YEARS The model was developed using more than 313,000 mammograms from more than 161,000 women, according to the study. Connie Lehman, a Massachusetts-based breast imaging specialist and professor of radiology at Harvard Medical School who was not involved in the study, told Fox News Digital that AI could help identify women whose increased risk might otherwise go unnoticed. "For decades, as a doctor and breast imaging specialist, I have cared for women who were shocked by a breast cancer diagnosis," Lehman said. "Again and again, I heard: 'How can this be? No one in my family has had breast cancer.'" CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER Traditional risk assessments can consider factors such as family history and genetic mutations, while AI can look for additional clues within a woman's breast tissue, according to Lehman. "A mammogram can tell us more than whether cancer is visible today — it can also provide information about a woman's risk of developing cancer in the years ahead," she said. That information could eventually help doctors tailor breast cancer screening to a woman's individual risk, Lehman said. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE STORIES Women identified as being at increased risk could discuss additional screening, such as MRI, with their health care providers, while women at average risk may continue with routine mammograms, according to Lehman. The technology could also analyze mammograms a woman has already had, meaning the added risk information would not require another imaging exam or additional radiation, she noted. Lehman cautioned that an AI risk score is not a cancer diagnosis and cannot predict with certainty whether a woman will develop the disease. "A higher score can prompt a conversation with your health care provider about additional screening and risk-reduction options," she said. "A lower score does not eliminate risk or replace regular mammography." TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ The NYU model remains a research tool and is not FDA-authorized for clinical use, according to Lehman. The researchers also noted that more testing is needed. The study used mammograms from NYU Langone hospitals and imaging equipment from one manufacturer. The team plans to test the model using data from other medical centers and different 3D mammography systems, according to NYU Langone. Fox News Digital reached out to the researchers for comment.

After LSU needed just two plays to score on its first possession in overtime to jump out to a 34-27 lead, the Wildcats were forced to respond, and respond they did. Running back CJ Baxter punched it into the end zone, which left Stein with a decision to make: kick the extra point and head into a second overtime or go for two and try to end the game in front of your home crowd. Stein opted for the latter, and it paid off. KENTUCKY COACH WILL STEIN TELLS WILDCATS PLAYERS 'IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN WHAT WE'RE DOING, YOU ARE HIGH' After a controversial flag on the first two-point conversion that was negated by a Kentucky timeout, quarterback Kenny Minchey trotted onto the field and walked right up the middle into the end zone to send Big Blue Nation into a frenzy with a 35-34 victory.

Khamenei's remarks on X also came as the U.S. Army released a new battlefield identification guide to help American troops recognize members of Iran's conventional military, known as the Artesh, whose ground forces were estimated by the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security in June at 350,000 personnel. "The criminal US-Zionist enemy's desperate efforts and malicious attacks on the pillars of social order and security, which are unparalleled throughout history, have not caused the courageous personnel of the Police Force to waver even a fraction in their mission," Khamenei wrote in a statement. Khamenei specifically praised Iran's Law Enforcement Command, known as FARAJA, accusing the United States and Israel of targeting the institution responsible for maintaining domestic order. "The focus and persistence of the criminal US-Zionist enemy in striking at the Police Force at its various levels, from its highest command levels down to those who are on the frontline, has only served to underscore the paramount importance of this institution more than ever," he wrote. IRAN PROVES THAT IT MIGHT CHANGE ITS MILITARY LEADERS, BUT IT’S NOT CHANGING STRATEGY Iran's security apparatus comprises three principal branches: the Artesh, responsible primarily for conventional territorial defense; the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), tasked with protecting the Islamic Republic and projecting military power; and FARAJA, responsible for domestic law enforcement and internal security. IRAN’S GUTTED RANKS LEAVE LOYALISTS FILLING CRITICAL POSTS — WITH ONE GLARING PROBLEM FARAJA, commanded by Brig. Gen. Ahmadreza Radan, is responsible for maintaining public order, enforcing the country's laws and responding to civil unrest. According to Iran Human Rights Monitor, the force has evolved into a powerful internal security institution involved in suppressing anti-government demonstrations, monitoring political activity and enforcing the regime's ideological restrictions. IRAN INSTALLS NEW WAR CHIEFS AS TEHRAN SIGNALS ‘PROLONGED CONFRONTATION,’ EXPERT WARNS Radan has also been sanctioned by the United States for his role in human rights abuses. The Treasury Department designated him in September 2010, citing his responsibility for beatings, killings and arbitrary arrests of protesters following Iran's disputed 2009 presidential election. Khamenei also called for strengthening FARAJA on Oct. 8 through additional personnel, equipment and technology, including the use of artificial intelligence for data analysis. AFTER 47 YEARS OF CONFRONTING IRAN, DOES AMERICA HAVE A STRATEGY FOR ENDING THIS WAR? His remarks come as the U.S. Army's Training and Transformation Command published a "Know the Threat" recognition guide Sept. 24, highlighted by Defense News on Oct. 9. The guide shows an Iranian special forces soldier and identifies weapons American troops could encounter, including AKM rifles, Iranian-made Masaf-2 rifles, German-designed G3 rifles, MG3 machine guns and RPG-7 rocket-propelled grenade launchers. The Artesh, Iran's regular military, is separate from the IRGC and its affiliated Basij militia. Its forces operate across four branches: the Ground Forces, Navy, Air Force and Air Defense Force. A June assessment by the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security estimated the Artesh's Ground Forces at approximately 350,000 personnel, including 220,000 conscripts. The report found that the Artesh had suffered severe losses across its air, naval and air defense components during the opening phase of the U.S.-Israeli military campaign, while its ground forces remained structurally intact because there had been no ground invasion. TRUMP OPENS HORMUZ UNDER FIRE WITH ‘PROJECT FREEDOM’ AS IRAN WARNS OF ATTACKS The Artesh is commanded by Maj. Gen. Amir Hatami, a former Iranian defense minister who assumed command in June 2025. Aside from Khamenei, Hatami issued his own warning Oct. 6, claiming Iran's adversaries faced "historic confusion" after failing to halt military production during the conflict. Hatami also claimed that Iranian defense production continued despite American and Israeli attacks, saying the country's military production lines had continued operating during the conflict. The extent of Iran's military recovery remains unclear. The Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security assessed in June that the country's conventional air, naval and air defense forces had suffered severe damage during the conflict. President Donald Trump, meanwhile, said Oct. 8 that Washington would not resume military strikes against Iran before the Nov. 3 midterm elections, citing "productive discussions" between the two countries.

Then we have Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni. He took the blame for the Eagles' walk-off field goal loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday because, well, it was indeed ultimately on him. Why? Because the Eagles blew the game in London by not kicking the ball into the end zone while clinging to a 17-16 lead with only eight seconds to play. JALEN HURTS CURSES AT RECEIVER IN VIRAL HOT-MIC MOMENT DURING EAGLES' COLLAPSE AGAINST RAMS Down two points, the Jaguars returned the kick that was short of the end zone 53 yards to the Eagles' 39-yard line. The runback took seven seconds. And with one second remaining left, Cam Little, who has a kicking leg like a howitzer, connected on a game-winning 57-yard field goal. That left the Eagles with their third loss of the season. And Sirianni with mushy peas on his face. "I lost us that game and that's what I said to our guys," Sirianni admitted in his post-game news conference. "What hurt there is that the guys fought so hard, and I don’t make the decision that I should make at the end of the game and I cost us that game, and I put that fully on me." Sirianni was not in the mood to accept other reasons the Eagles lost. "At the end of the day, I didn’t make the right decision, and it cost us the game," he said. "You know, and so there’s no other way around it. There’s nothing really else to say about that. It’s just I didn’t do my job good enough in that situation." It was obviously not all Sirianni's fault. The Eagles' kickoff coverage unit was leaky from the start of the game to the end. And maybe kicker Jake Elliott should have kicked the ball into the end zone of his own accord. He is a veteran and should understand the situation. But, people in Philly, raise your hand if you disagree that Sirianni had a brain lock. Waiting for a hand to rise. Still waiting. Nobody. Sirianni is going to carry this for a while because Eagles fans are not too forgiving. And neither is the Philadelphia media. "It’s just like you would feel if you missed a free throw at the end of the game, or if you had a drop," Sirianni said. "I’ve been in both of those places. And those ones stick with you, and that will stick with me for a long time. "... Yeah, that one will hurt for a long time. I still think about those other things that have, I’ve lost games for us in the past as far as, you know, when I played." MIKE TOMLIN POINTS OUT DALLAS COWBOYS 'NEGLIGENT' COACHING MISTAKES AND PUT HIMSELF IN CONVERSATION TO TAKE JOB NEXT YEAR There are two issues with what Sirianni just said: First, it is the coach's job to stop the bleeding. His team already allowed a fourth-quarter loss to the Rams last week to become a two-week disaster and grow into a three-game losing skid overall. Second, if Sirianni's message to his team is that this loss will stick with him a long time, that is exactly the wrong message to send. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE.

A couple of weeks ago, the Dallas Cowboys blew a game against the Baltimore Ravens in the final seconds when coach Brian Schottenheimer didn't order a kickoff rocketed into the end zone. The crazy part of this is that Sirianni says he saw that situation on tape. "I watched a ton of those situations after that Dallas game and, again, just didn’t make the right decision in this particular case," he said.

The child’s fight for survival has brought renewed scrutiny into the suspect’s past, including an attack on two children more than two decades ago and repeated findings that he was incompetent to stand trial. Nelson Blanco, 46, is accused of stabbing the 2-year-old girl and her mother Wednesday afternoon near Broad and Public streets in Providence, police said. SOUTH CAROLINA MOM ACCUSED OF KNIFE ATTACK ON YOUNG CHILDREN; 6-YEAR-OLD MAY LOSE ARM: SHERIFF'S OFFICE The toddler was taken to Hasbro Children’s Hospital in critical condition. Her mother, who suffered a stab wound to the shoulder, was treated and released, according to local reporting. The mother was waiting with her daughter for her other children to get off a school bus when Blanco allegedly approached and made insulting comments, Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez said, according to WPRI. ANGEL MOM SAYS BLUE STATE DAS ARE PUTTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CRIMINALS BEFORE PUBLIC SAFETY She crossed the street with the stroller to get away, but Blanco approached again and allegedly attacked the child with a knife, police said, noting there was no evidence he knew either victim. Surveillance video showed the mother and daughter attempting to move away before Blanco grabbed the stroller and struck the child repeatedly, Boston 25 News reported. A bystander tried to intervene, but Blanco allegedly attempted to stab that person before fleeing, according to the outlet. Officers found Blanco hiding in the basement of a nearby home and recovered a knife from a panel box, police said. Authorities said he admitted to the stabbings during questioning. CALIFORNIA STABBING VICTIM'S FRIEND BLASTS 'FAILED' JUSTICE SYSTEM OVER ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT SUSPECT'S RELEASE Blanco allegedly told detectives he stopped the attack because he was on a main street, according to a police report obtained by WPRI.

PROSECUTORS SAY CHARLOTTE TRAIN STABBING CASE WON'T BE DISMISSED REGARDLESS OF COMPETENCY RULING Blanco faces six charges, including two counts police identified as assault with intent to commit murder, felony assault, breaking and entering into an occupied dwelling of a person 60 or older, and two weapons charges. No plea was entered during his Thursday appearance in Rhode Island’s 6th Division District Court. The court referred him to the public defender and requested an evaluation, according to court records reviewed by Fox News Digital. VIOLENT TRANSIT ATTACKS IN ATLANTA, NEW YORK AND CHARLOTTE FUEL CALLS FOR TOUGHER TRACKING OF REPEAT OFFENDERS WPRI reported Blanco is being held without bail pending a competency hearing later this month. His arrest brought back painful memories for Andy Lopez and Dave Belony, who told WPRI they were 6 and 7 years old when Blanco attacked them while they played in Lopez’s backyard on Sept. 27, 2003. CHARLOTTE REPEAT OFFENDER CHARGED WITH KILLING MAN HOURS AFTER RELEASE ON BOND Belony said he recognized Blanco immediately when he saw his booking photo on social media Wednesday night. "I knew it was him, because I will always remember that face," he told the station. "My heart dropped, and it truly felt like my world had stopped." Court records reviewed by Fox News Digital show Blanco faced two felony assault charges and a charge of possessing a knife or firearm during a crime, stemming from the 2003 incident. BANK OF AMERICA EXEC KILLED IN RANDOM TIMES SQUARE STABBING LAID TO REST AS HUNDREDS MOURN YOUNG MOM The docket documents repeated findings that Blanco was incompetent to stand trial from September 2004 through March 2006. Multiple entries state, "Defendant Remains Incompetent." The case remains listed as "under review" in the court portal. More recently, Blanco was found incompetent to stand trial in July in a separate domestic violence case, WPRI reported. A judge accepted a doctor’s recommendation allowing him to remain in outpatient treatment because he was considered unlikely to endanger the community or himself at that time. Lopez and Belony said the earlier attack left them with injuries and trauma that have followed them into adulthood. They told WPRI they were playing with Lopez’s brother when Blanco emerged from a shed behind the house where he had been living. "He didn’t say a word," Belony recalled. "His face was blank and he was just staring at us." Belony said Blanco charged at him, trapping him near a tree. He curled into a ball and covered his head as Blanco stabbed him.

"My brother yelled at me to run, and I was trying to run but my body just froze," Lopez told WPRI. "He stabbed me twice in the eye — the first time it was blurry, and then the second time I couldn’t see anything." Both children were rushed to Hasbro Children’s Hospital. Their recovery took three months and included at least three surgeries each, they told the outlet. Lopez was left permanently blind in his left eye, an injury he said derailed his dreams of becoming a police officer or truck driver. "Most of the opportunities I wanted to have in life are gone," he said. "I’m very grateful I’m alive, but my life is restricted." Belony said he was stabbed at least five times in his stomach, back and ribs and continues to struggle emotionally. The men said learning about the latest attack left them devastated for the mother and toddler, and determined to speak out. "It’s frustrating for us, not only because of what happened to us, but because it has happened to others," Lopez told WPRI. "He was given a chance 23 years ago, and 23 years later, he did the same thing." "We want justice for the victims," Belony said. "What is it going to take for him to be held accountable for his actions?" Fox News Digital reached out to the Providence Police Department and the Rhode Island attorney general’s office for comment. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acbf67e75342cf4db8eeff3 GOP senator calls for FCC probe of ABC News over Trump sons-Anduril 'political hit job' te 2026-10-11T20:50:06.437Z GOP senator calls for FCC probe of ABC News over Trump sons-Anduril 'political hit job' Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-OH, called on the Federal Communications Commission on Saturday to launch a formal investigation into ABC News after the network deleted and substantially revised a report involving President Donald Trump's sons and defense contractor Anduril Industries, accusing the Disney-owned network of publishing false information that could damage a major investment in his home state. In a letter to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, Moreno demanded accountability for the network's report and questioned whether ABC News violated its obligations as a broadcaster. "Thus, I urge the Commission to open a formal investigation into ABC News's political hit job. We must know who signed off on the publication of this false story, who may have asked to profit from the attack, and whether ABC News's conduct violated its obligations as a licensee," Moreno said. Fox News Digital reached out to Moreno's office for additional comment but a spokesperson for the senator declined to elaborate on the allegations. FCC CALLS IN DISNEY-OWNED ABC STATIONS FOR EARLY LICENSE REVIEW IN WAKE OF JIMMY KIMMEL CONTROVERSY The senator's request followed ABC News' decision to remove a report examining investments tied to Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. The original Wednesday article claimed companies connected to the president's sons had secured billions in government contracts, including through venture capital firm 1789 Capital. Moreno specifically challenged the original report's characterization of Anduril's financing, arguing that the network had misrepresented the company's investment activity and unfairly associated the Trump family with federal contracting decisions. "ABC News appears under broadcast licenses issued by the FCC. These licenses are a privilege, not a right. They require service of the public interest," he said. FCC BOSS BRENDAN CARR MAINTAINS EARLY ABC LICENSE RENEWAL IS ABOUT DEI PROBE, NOT JIMMY KIMMEL CONTROVERSY The controversy centered on ABC News' original claim that 1789 Capital, where Trump Jr. serves as a partner, acquired a major strike in Anduril through a $2.5 billion investment. The figure instead represented Anduril's broader fundraising round, while 1789 Capital's investment was approximately $50 million. ABC News republished a substantially revised article Friday, acknowledging errors involving investments, government contracts and the chronology of events. The updated version also clarified that Trump Jr. does not serve on the firm's investment decision-making committee. The report was republished Friday with a new headline, revised byline and an editor's note acknowledging factual errors involving company investments, government contracts and the chronology of events. Moreno also emphasized the economic stakes for Ohio, where Anduril is developing its Arsenal-1 manufacturing facility. The company has announced plans to invest nearly $1 billion in the project, which is expected to create more than 4,000 jobs. DISNEY SUES FCC OVER ‘RETALIATORY CAMPAIGN AGAINST ABC,’ SEEKS TO BLOCK EARLY RENEWAL PROCEEDINGS In his letter, Moreno accused ABC News of undermining public confidence in journalism while potentially harming a major employer in the state. "The American people, and the workers in Ohio whose jobs were put at risk by this reporting, deserve answers and accountability," Moreno said. The investigation request comes amid an ongoing legal dispute between Disney and the FCC over the commission's early review of ABC-owned television station licenses. Disney argued that the review threatens constitutionally protected editorial independence, while the FCC defended its actions as regulatory oversight. Fox News Digital reached out to the FCC but did not immediately receive a response. A network source for ABC News told Fox News Digital, "We always review every situation in a thorough and thoughtful manner and will not be providing further comment at this time."

On Sunday, the "Euphoria" star ditched her top in a new commercial for the prediction market platform, wearing only white Novig underwear while strategically covering herself with footballs. "There are grown men making spreadsheets to bet on what color underwear I’m wearing," Sweeney says in the ad posted on Instagram. "I mean, I’m flattered?" SYDNEY SWEENEY’S PROVOCATIVE SPORTS AD 'REINFORCES THE IMAGE SHE HAS ALREADY BUILT' DESPITE BACKLASH: EXPERT She then jokes about someone "betting their 401(k) on a war" before concluding, "Novig is … just sports." The new campaign comes weeks after Sweeney’s first Novig advertisement sparked fierce backlash from female athletes and critics who accused the company of sexualizing women in sports. GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE Sweeney’s latest post quickly drew support from fans, with commenters writing, "Keep going girl," and, "Here comes the wave of angry people." EXCLUSIVE: STAR FEMALE GOLFER FIRES BACK AT SYDNEY SWEENEY CRITICS: 'SHE'S GOT SEX APPEAL' In the original ad, Sweeney appeared nearly nude while posing with sports equipment and telling viewers the platform was "just sports." The campaign prompted criticism from Olympians and professional athletes, including swimmer Ariarne Titmus, who called it a "kick in the face" to women who have devoted their lives to sports. SHARON STONE TELLS SYDNEY SWEENEY TO 'TAKE RESPONSIBILITY' FOR PROVOCATIVE SPORTS AD Gymnast Gracie Kramer accused the ad of marketing women’s sports "through the male gaze," while British sprinter Amy Hunt said the campaign offered an inaccurate picture of what women in sports look like. SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM SAYS WHAT OTHER GASLIGHTING FEMALE ATHLETES WON'T ABOUT THE NAKED SYDNEY SWEENEY AD Sweeney later appeared to respond by sharing images of famous athletes, including Serena Williams, Ronda Rousey, Sue Bird, Megan Rapinoe and Caroline Wozniacki, who had posed nude for ESPN’s Body Issue. Adrienne Uthe, founder of Kronus Communications, previously told Fox News Digital that while Sweeney's ad may have ruffled feathers, "women having agency also means allowing women to make choices about their image that other women may not personally agree with." "People are entitled to dislike the ad, just like women athletes are entitled to criticize it for their own reasons," Uthe said. "But I don't think this is materially damaging to Sydney Sweeney in any way, shape or form. "In fact, I don't think it's a large departure from who she is and what her brand represents. She's a beautiful woman right now at the peak of her career, and she ultimately can decide which projects she wants to take and which ones she doesn't." BROADCAST BIAS: MEDIA BASH SYDNEY SWEENEY, BUT COVER FOR LEFTIST MACKLEMORE She added, "And she's chosen to make sexuality a part of her brand for better or for worse." Novig defended the original advertisement as a "fun idea" created with "confidence, humor and a playful edge." The latest campaign is not the first time Sweeney has found herself at the center of a major advertising controversy. In 2025, her American Eagle campaign, titled "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans," drew backlash over a promotional video that played on the words "genes" and "jeans." Critics accused the campaign of carrying racial undertones, with some social media users even labeling it "Nazi propaganda." Other fans defended Sweeney and the clothing brand, arguing that the ad was simply a playful promotion for jeans. One supporter wrote, "Woke advertising is dead. Sydney Sweeney killed it."

The Oregon Ducks started the 2026 college football season as a consensus top-five team under head coach Dan Lanning. They brought back Dante Moore and added Dylan Raiola, a former starter at Nebraska, as a backup quarterback. They had a highly-paid roster full of former top recruits, along with impactful transfer portal additions. They were coming off back-to-back College Football Playoff appearances with a combined 26-3 record across the regular and postseason in 2024-2025. Some suggested it was the best team Oregon's ever had. Almost immediately, however, the Ducks started taking on water. Boise State nearly pulled off the upset in Eugene in week one. Then Oklahoma State finished their upset bid in week two behind a dominant offensive performance. DAN LANNING BLASTS USC AFTER OREGON'S WIN, AS LINCOLN RILEY OFFICIALLY ENTERS HOT SEAT IN LA After an 84-0 shellacking of Portland State, the Ducks went into Los Angeles for a pivotal game against USC at the Coliseum and finally seemed to turn the corner. When Moore left the game after an awful hit from a USC linebacker, Raiola stepped up and looked even better. Moore went 19-25 for 289 yards and two touchdowns, helping secure a 41-27 win to seemingly save Oregon's season. Lanning took the opportunity after the win to make a statement about the Ducks' program and where their focus lies. "I guess if you're interested in winning football games and you're from this area, you should go to Oregon," Lanning said, referring to high school players from the Los Angeles and Southern California area. "If you want to go to a Chris Brown concert, you should go here." Fast-forward two weeks and Lanning's words immediately came back to bite him. The Ducks on Saturday hosted UCLA under first-year head coach Bob Chesney. The Bruins, after years of mediocrity, have looked dramatically improved thus far in 2026, though against overmatched opponents like Cal, Purdue, and Maryland. Saturday marked their first test, a road game in one of the toughest environments in college football, against a team with aspirations of reaching and winning the College Football Playoff. For Lanning, it was an opportunity to back up his statement, that if you want to play winning football, you come to Oregon. They lost. The Ducks played one of the sloppiest games from any program in recent memory, somehow managing to turn the ball over an incredible seven times. They had five lost fumbles, and recovered the ball on a sixth fumble. Raiola was so awful, going 6-19 for 43 yards and two interceptions, that Lanning benched him for third stringer Brock Thomas.

Four plays for 22 yards and a punt, a one-yard touchdown drive after a Nico Iamaleava fumble, three plays for zero yards, and four plays for 20. 12 plays for 43 yards, and it got worse from there. Much worse. Here's the drive chart for Oregon's second quarter: 16 plays for 25 yards, two punts, two fumbles, and an interception. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! The Ducks did pick up more yards in the third quarter though, going three plays for two yards, four plays for 22 yards and a fumble, and two plays for seven yards and another pick. That's 31 total yards and only two turnovers instead of three. Progress! While Oregon did have a better run in the fourth quarter, working around another fumble to kick a field goal and finally score their second touchdown of the game with 2:16 remaining, the two-point conversion attempt to tie the score at 17-17 failed. Fittingly, the game ended on Oregon fumbling while trying to run a series of laterals down the field as time expired. As Lanning said, "If you care about winning games, and you're from LA, come to Oregon." Or apparently UCLA. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER It's hard to imagine an uglier game and result, for any team, let alone one that started the season in the top-5 with realistic hopes of winning a National Championship. Obviously, Moore being out hurt the Ducks' offense, but seven turnovers? Only 272 yards, at home, against a UCLA team that unquestionably has inferior talent? At one point, Oregon went six straight drives without picking up a first down. At one point, excluding the end of the second quarter, the Ducks turned the ball over on six out of nine drives. That is ... remarkable. From 2023-2025, Lanning built Oregon into one of the most consistent teams in the country. They were 38-5, and went undefeated in their first season in the Big Ten to secure the number one overall seed in the 2024-2025 playoff. For most of that run, his teams were seen as well coached and disciplined. Yet it's impossible to watch a team commit seven turnovers and lose a game, at home, in that fashion, and come away with the impression that they're well coached. How the USC game played out the way it did seems to be a serious indictment of the job Lincoln Riley and Gary Patterson did in Los Angeles. But for recruits or the unfortunate fans at Autzen Stadium, maybe they should have gone to a Chris Brown concert instead.

Kardashian addressed the remarks during the season 8 premiere of "The Kardashians," revealing that Lawrence later apologized by email. The drama began when Lawrence was asked which member of the Kardashian family was her favorite. She selected Khloé Kardashian and then criticized Kourtney’s behavior on the reality show. JENNIFER LAWRENCE KNOCKS KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN AS 'ANNOYING' DURING LIE DETECTOR TEST "Everything has to be an announcement," Lawrence said. "It’s like, you know, ‘I’m not gonna wear outfits anymore.’ Like, just wear whatever you want. Don’t make an announcement about it. Or, like, ‘I don’t have a TV in my room.’ Like, just don’t watch TV. Stop announcing it. Just shh." Lawrence also said Kourtney "drives me nuts" and was "more annoying than ever." Kourtney, 47, said she was particularly upset after her mother, Kris Jenner, mentioned spending time with Lawrence and Emma Stone.

"I was like, ‘Invite her over and we can — I’ll go for it like she’s my sister.’" Kourtney later discussed the situation with her friend Simon Huck, joking about whether she should respond to Lawrence with a reference to Kourtney’s infamous physical fight with Kim Kardashian. "She asked Kim for my email, and then she sent me that email, which is so nice," Kourtney said. "I mean, do I say something funny? Like, ‘You can come over and I’ll beat your f---ing a--?’" "I’ll just say, next time you wanna come over, we can go at it — Kourtney and Kim style," she added. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

"But I’m also like, it was a really sensitive week when she sent it, and I felt like our show was airing and everybody was ganging up on me." The exchange marked an awkward moment in Lawrence’s longtime relationship with the Kardashian-Jenner family. Lawrence has been an outspoken fan of the family for years. In 2017, she guest-hosted "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and interviewed Kim, whom she introduced as her "utter obsession." During the interview, Lawrence and Kim discussed a dinner at Kris’ home where Lawrence said she became intoxicated while spending time with the family.

"I think that when I do press, I should do half [of] what normal people do," Lawrence said. "Because I see my quotes and they’re insane.

It was a blunt assessment of the GOP’s respective candidates for Senate and governor, but one that Trump, who wins Ohio elections like Tom Brady won Super Bowls, knows is vitally important. Trump would laugh off the remark, saying that nobody really hates the GOP candidates. But he was making an essential point, especially in Ohio, which is the front line of the war between the traditional GOP and Trump’s MAGA base, much of it centered on the question of immigration. To hear from the Chamber of Commerce side, I spoke with Jim Lagos, who has lived his entire 75 years in Springfield, owns several buildings downtown, and has been a central figure in the attempts to revitalize the city’s downtown district. TRUMP TOUTS ‘GOLDEN AGE’ AT OHIO RALLY, URGES VOTERS TO DELIVER GOP MIDTERM WINS "You have to pull the trigger," Jim told me of efforts to bring the very pretty, but very empty downtown back to life. "My father always used to tell me 'Christopher Columbus took a risk.'" Jim, as is customary for civic leaders, had nice things to say about Democratic Senate candidate Sherrod Brown and gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton, both of whom he has met. But he is all in for Husted and even more so for Ramasamy, who he hopes will slash regulations to speed up the recovery of towns like Springfield. RAMASWAMY OUTLINES KEY CONTRASTS WITH DEM OPPONENT LESS THAN 100 DAYS OUT FROM KEY GUBERNATORIAL ELECTION "We have temporary cuts on taxes for small business in Ohio," Jim said. "But they need to be extended. Big companies got a permanent break, because they are smart enough to donate to both parties." Over the past three decades, Jim has rehabilitated several historic buildings in Springfield and succeeded in filling most of the space with occupants. "Sometimes, when business is struggling, you have to carry them for a while until it gets better," he said. ICE PREPARES MAJOR OPERATION TARGETING HAITIANS LOSING TPS AFTER SUPREME COURT RULING The issue that most bitterly divides the business leaders in Springfield from the MAGA base of Trump voters in the area is immigration, and in particular, the wave of 15,000 Haitian refugees who arrived between 2020 and 2025, overwhelming schools, housing stock, and even the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, according to locals. Jim admits that the messaging, including the idea that Haitian migrants are better workers who don’t do drugs and want overtime, not only missed the mark, but downright offended many local native residents. Ramaswamy has, in the past veered toward a similar sentiment, which Frank, who works construction in the area, took some issue with. "I don’t like his idea that immigrants are, like, making us better from competition, I’d rather put Americans first," Frank said. According to Walter Curt, an investigative journalist who lives in Springfield, "When Trump came to office the first time, a bunch of factories got built in the area, and as soon as Biden got in, he staffed them with Haitians, effectively," through tax breaks to temp companies and business owners. DEM SENATE CANDIDATE SHERROD BROWN CLAIMS HE SUPPORTS 'CLOSING THE BORDER'; GOP SAYS RECORD PROVES OTHERWISE Importantly, while Curt does hold current Ohio governor and well known loather of President Trump, Mike DeWine, culpable for the Haitian situation, he does not blame the Haitians themselves, or Husted or Ramaswamy. "The entire country of Haiti would be in his front yard [Ohio] if it was up to DeWine," Curt said. "If anybody believes Vivek is of the same mind, I haven’t seen any evidence of that." AMERICA NEEDS WORKERS, BUT TRUMP'S POLICIES ARE SHARPLY CUTTING LEGAL IMMIGRATION Further complicating the immigration issue in Springfield is the fact that there is a largely Hispanic immigrant population well integrated into and assimilated with the broader community, something one does not see with the Haitian refugees. Victoria and Ambrosio opened Food Fusion, a large eatery with great food, a year ago, and they employ a mix of native born Springfielders as well as immigrants from Mexico, a dynamic you also see with the clientele. SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS BUILT THE AMERICAN DREAM. DEMOCRATS WANT TO TAKE IT FROM YOU What these first-time restaurant owners want from government is more transparency about regulations. "You don’t know everything that comes with it," Victoria told me. "As far as taxes, you have to know this, you have have to know that, and not just the rules and regulations of liquor licenses. There’s really no help for small business owners." Trump is correct that the vast majority of Republican voters in Ohio don’t hate Husted or Ramaswamy. Many downright love them. But in a close midterm race, the GOP needs those who don’t.

In a letter to chapter members, DAR Organizing Secretary General Marguerite Hogan Fritsch announced that the National Board of Management had approved the chapter's dissolution by a two-thirds majority vote. "On October 10, 2026, at the meeting of the National Board of Management of the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution a resolution passed by two-thirds majority vote to disband the Martha Laird Chapter, NSDAR," Fritsch said in the letter. "The actions of the chapter have been found in violation of Article XIX, Section 4 of the Bylaws of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution," the letter continued. The letter did not identify the specific conduct that constituted a violation or state whether the chapter's opposition to transgender membership contributed to the decision.  SORORITY ALUMNAE TAKE LEGAL FIGHT TO FEDERAL COURT AFTER BEING 'GIVEN A BROTHER' INSTEAD OF SISTERHOOD The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution confirmed to Fox News Digital that the organization had voted to disband the local Texas chapter but denied it was due to its views on membership.   "The National Board of Management voted on October 10 to disband the Martha Laird Chapter in Texas after finding that chapter officers had used the chapter’s name, leadership positions, communications, and governance processes to further the goals of a separate advocacy organization," the group told Fox News Digital. "The Board determined that it was this use of chapter authority and resources – not the views being advocated – that constituted conduct discrediting the National Society under Article XIX, Section 4 of the National Bylaws."  "The Board’s decision was not based on the chapter’s or its members’ views concerning membership eligibility, their efforts to propose changes to the National Bylaws, or their right to advocate for changes in National Society governance," the statement continued. The group noted that at their June 2026 meeting, national members had rejected a resolution to add further membership restrictions. Individual members of the Texas chapter retain their DAR membership and are free to advocate for changes to the National Bylaws through the Society’s established governance processes, the organization said. ALL-WOMEN'S SCHOOL WELLESLEY COLLEGE RESPONDS TO ACCUSATIONS OF ADMITTING BIOLOGICAL MALE TRANS STUDENTS The chapter previously challenged DAR leadership's position on transgender membership, with member Laura McDonald telling Fox News Digital last year that the organization was contradicting its founding mission by recognizing transgender women as eligible members. "But, then they go on to say that a man who claims he's a woman is a woman, and therefore he's eligible for membership. But if you are a man that doesn't claim to be a woman, you're not eligible for membership," McDonald said. Conservative California superintendent candidate Sonja Shaw told Fox News Digital that women and girls are being told that spaces created to protect their privacy, dignity, and opportunities "no longer belong to them," including sports, restrooms, locker rooms, and now, according to her, the Daughters of the American Revolution. "The women of the Martha Laird Chapter in Texas stood their ground. They sought to preserve a definition of "Daughters" based on biological sex and asked for a clear vote. On October 10, national leadership dissolved their chapter," Shaw said.  SMITH COLLEGE 'MAKES A MOCKERY' OF ALL-WOMEN STATUS BY ADMITTING TRANSGENDER STUDENTS, EDUCATION WATCHDOG SAYS "Think about that. Women who stood up for their convictions saw their chapter, with a history dating back to 1942, dissolved. Here is the damning question national leadership needs to answer: Why should women be punished for standing up for the very definition of the organization they belong to?" she added.  Shaw also pointed to similar debates across the country concerning sports and privacy in women's spaces, and said "this is about more than one chapter." "Our daughters deserve a future where they never have to ask permission to stand up for the truth, and where no woman is punished for having the courage to speak it," Shaw said. Under DAR's national bylaws, Article XIX, Section 4 authorizes the National Board of Management to discipline or disband chapters that violate organizational rules or engage in conduct that discredits the DAR. The dissolution comes nearly three months after Rep. Ben Cline, R-Va., introduced the Daughters of the American Revolution Membership Integrity Act, which would amend DAR's congressional charter to restrict membership to biological women.  Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., subsequently introduced companion legislation in the Senate. "Rather than honoring and preserving a lineage-based organization for women, it has embraced radical gender ideology at the expense of the women it was created to serve," Cline said. In September 2024, the Martha Laird Chapter, supported by 11 other chapters, submitted a proposed bylaw amendment defining membership eligibility based on biological sex. CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE The Center for American Liberty also provided legal assistance to the chapter, challenging DAR leadership's contention that excluding transgender applicants could jeopardize the organization's tax-exempt status. The proposed amendment was rejected by DAR's National Board of Management in February 2025. McDonald criticized the decision at the time. "The rejection by the National Board of Management of our proposal to define a woman in our bylaws sadly confirms what we knew all along – that leadership is taking a political stance which is not based on fears of the loss of 501(c)(3) nonprofit status," McDonald said in a statement to Fox News Digital. DAR, founded in 1890, previously maintained that its longstanding membership policies allowed women with legally amended birth certificates to join, provided they otherwise met the organization's genealogical requirements. Under the dissolution notice, Martha Laird Chapter members will be transferred to member-at-large status and have until Nov. 9 to secure acceptance into another chapter. The letter also directed that dues previously remitted to the chapter be refunded.

Since its founding in 1982, Beaver-themed gas station chain Buc-ee’s has developed a reputation for affordable gas prices, logo-adorned merchandise, and its extensive food offerings. The lower gas prices are mainly due to the fact that customers are expected to spend more money inside the store, Yahoo Finance reported in June.

On Sunday when the Bears were playing the Packers, multiple fans showed up to the game wearing Ditka costumes. In Green Bay. LEGENDARY BEARS COACH MIKE DITKA DEAD AT AGE 86 Multiple fans showed up wearing the classic 1980s-style Bears sweater, the Ditka-style mustaches (some of them fake), the sunglasses, and holding cigars in their mouths. It wasn't mockery. It was a memoriam. All this because that was the Ditka look everyone remembers, Saturday Night Live many times spoofed, and NFL films saluted. TRUMP GIVES RAW REACTION AFTER FINDING OUT ABOUT MIKE DITKA'S DEATH: 'A TOUGH COOKIE' Before the game between the Packers and Bears, two teams that share a rivalry dating to 1921, the Packers showed their class by showing their opponents great respect in memory of Ditka. With the University of Wisconsin band on the field at attention, the Packers remembered Ditka. "Ladies and gentlemen, the Green Bay Packers and the NFL community are saddened to learn of the passing of Pro Football Hall of Famer Mike Ditka," the public address announcement echoed. "We extend our sincere condolences to his family, friends, and the entire Chicago Bears organization. "At this time please join in a moment of silence." That moment of silence came to an end with a round of applause from the crowd – a fan base that once upon a time wanted very badly to beat Ditka in what both franchises call the greatest rivalry of all time. The New Orleans Saints, which Ditka coached from 1997-99, similarly held a moment of silence before their home game against the Minnesota Vikings. Bears players are wearing No. 89 helmet decals honoring Ditka’s retired Bears number on Sunday. Bears coach Ben Johnson also reportedly showed the team a Ditka tribute video during a meeting Saturday night. In Chicago, fans gathered at Ditka’s Oak Brook restaurant, and a local business organized Ditka trivia and signed-jersey giveaways. All the networks broadcasting NFL games on Sunday have paid tribute to Ditka. The Bears on Friday lowered their flag to half-staff at Halas Hall, displayed a memorial image outside Soldier Field and called Ditka’s impact "immeasurable."

And all this is honorable and notable. But, to me, it is the fans dressing like Ditka who offer the most lasting and impressive tribute. These people decide they are going to dress themselves, and sometimes their children, to look like Ditka. They might even join a group of friends who do the same. It takes effort to do that. It takes forethought and planning. And it is all a statement of appreciation and admiration.

Gates warned that criminals could exploit the latest AI technology to disrupt financial systems, extort businesses and carry out increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. "When you have bad people, no safeguards, and then the latest models, that's where, over the next year, primarily in the cyber area, we are going to have a lot of negative surprises," Gates said during a "State of the Union" interview with CNN's Jake Tapper. BILL GATES WARNS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE 'POWERFUL ENOUGH' TO CAUSE 'A BILLION DEATHS' IF UNCHECKED Democratic strategist Billy Oliver told Fox News Digital that Gates' warning underscores the challenge facing policymakers as artificial intelligence advances and the United States seeks to maintain its technological competitiveness. "The great challenge both for innovators and governments in the coming months is to balance continued progress in AI with smart regulation. Leaders who can balance ensuring that America is not left behind, but that no American is left out, will win public trust," Oliver said. Gates' warning comes as cybersecurity researchers report a sharp increase in AI-enabled threats.  According to CrowdStrike's 2026 Global Threat Report, attacks by AI-enabled adversaries increased 89% year over year in 2025, while the average time for cybercriminals to move laterally through compromised networks fell to 29 minutes. WATCH: AI SAFETY SCARE SPARKS CAP HILL FIGHT OVER GUARDRAILS: 'CHINA'S GOING TO EAT OUR LUNCH' Tapper pressed Gates about his warning that artificial intelligence could make it easier for terrorists to develop deadly biological weapons, citing his assessment that the risk of a bioterrorist attack could become 50 times greater than that of a natural pandemic.  Tapper also questioned how soon such an attack could occur and whether government leaders were doing enough to prevent it. "Well, no, we're not doing enough," Gates said. "The real danger right now is not the AI is getting out of control. We need to work on that, but that's years away in terms of the big impact that might have." BIOWEAPON THREAT EXPOSED AS ANTHROPIC SOUNDS ALARM ON FOREIGN ACTORS PLOTTING VIRUS EXPERIMENTS Gates described potential financial motivations behind cyberattacks, including extortion schemes and disruptions designed to manipulate financial markets or betting outcomes. "The front that we'll probably see most dramatically in the next year is cyberattacks, because there, there's a known business model where, you know, you threaten to do something and ask somebody to pay for that, or you create a disruption that changes something in the stock market or some betting thing that you go and do," Gates said. Oliver called for a coordinated regulatory approach that addresses security risks while preparing Americans for AI's broader economic consequences. "Regulation should focus on federal and international standards, platform responsibility, cyber and deepfake penalties, child safety, and ensuring the participation of the population in the economic benefits of this powerful technological revolution — while starting to prepare our society for what could be profound workforce disruption," Oliver said.

The shuffling of teams in the Week 6 AP Poll reflects the madness that unfolded, including Georgia picking up arguably the most impressive win of the season after taking down Alabama in Tuscaloosa. The Bulldogs were rewarded by taking over the No. 1 spot in the rankings. Texas, the No. 1 team in the nation since Week 2, fell six spots after being stunned at the Cotton Bowl by unranked Oklahoma. The biggest movers in the latest AP Poll were two teams that faced off against one another on Saturday, with Kentucky going from unranked to No. 15 after stunning LSU in overtime. Lane Kiffin's Tigers dropped 12 spots all the way to No. 22 after falling to 4-2 on the year. KIRBY SMART HAS ENTERED HIS MOST DANGEROUS ERA AFTER GEORGIA’S AGGRESSIVE WIN OVER ALABAMA Welcome letters are in order for Northwestern, Wake Forest, and Kentucky, as all three teams enter the Top 25 after being unranked a week ago. Oregon, after its home loss to UCLA, and Florida, after being blown out at home by South Carolina, both exited the polls, after both the Ducks and Gators were ranked inside the Top 16 in Week 5. INDIANA SURVIVES NEBRASKA IN COMEBACK WIN, EXTENDS NATION'S LONGEST ACTIVE WINNING STREAK While the No. 1 next to Georgia's name is the ultimate sign of respect from voters, it's also worth noting that Alabama remained at No. 6 despite losing to the Bulldogs in its first dropped game of the year. It's clear that voters are impressed by Kirby Smart's squad in Athens. The new No. 2 team in the nation, Notre Dame, gets its first test of the season in Week 7 when it travels to take on No. 8 BYU on the road. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER Other notable games in Week 7 include No. 4 Ohio State visiting No. 5 Indiana, No. 9 Ole Miss hosting No. 13 Missouri, No. 6 Alabama traveling to No. 14 Tennessee, No. 15 Kentucky visiting Oklahoma, No. 22 LSU welcoming No. 16 Mississippi State to Baton Rouge, plus No. 20 Houston hosting No. 18 Oklahoma State. The Week 7 slate is a loaded one, which means more chaos and movement in next week's polls is inevitable.

The Jacksonville Jaguars and Philadelphia Eagles blessed us with that on Sunday. The game, while mostly sloppy from the start, saw the Jaguars and Eagles trade scores in the fourth quarter. Trevor Lawrence found Parker Washington on fourth down to take the lead with 3:20 left in the game. Then, Eagles kicker Jake Elliott gave Philly a one-point lead with eight seconds left. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Philadelphia, for whatever reason, thought it was a good idea to boot the ball to a Jaguars returner instead of kicking it into the end zone and hoping Lawrence could chuck up a prayer to win the game. Ameer Abdullah broke away from Philadelphia’s special teams and got the ball across midfield and into Eagles territory with one second left. Jaguars kicker Cam Little nailed a game-winning 57-yard field goal. Jacksonville took home the 19-17 victory and moved to 4-1 on the season. Little immediately ran back toward the opposite end zone and taunted some of the Eagles fans who lined the barrier. Little’s kick probably would have been good from about 70 yards. His teammates lifted him up in celebration. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE The Eagles fell to 2-3 with the loss. The game was chaotic from the beginning. Jaguars rookie returner Josh Cameron thought he had a 90-yard kickoff return touchdown from the jump. It would have been the first kickoff-return TD in the NFL this year. Offsetting penalties nullified the return. On the same play, Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Jaguars blocker Bryan Thomas Jr. got into a scuffle and were kicked out of the game. It certainly was a "crackers" start to the game, as OutKick’s Armando Salguero wrote this morning. Despite having 13 penalties for 100 yards, Jacksonville was able to escape London with the dub.

Mary Ellen O'Toole told the "The Big Weekend Show" on Saturday that the killings posed risks for the offender because they occurred outdoors where the victims, all believed to have been homeless, were likely sleeping. 'UNMASKING A MONSTER': GOLDEN STATE KILLER SERIES CHALLENGES TIMELINE OF JOSEPH DEANGELO'S CRIMES "It's also very high risk for the offender because the offender comes in to an open area and kills these people — and these are probably not quick homicides — and then has to leave the area." "And I can almost tell you for sure that this offender is not cleaning up his crime scenes," she added. "So he's probably leaving behind some very valuable evidence for investigators to analyze." FOX HOLLOW CORONER REVEALS WHY HE DOUBTS SUSPECTED SERIAL KILLER ACTED ALONE IN HUNT FOR ANSWERS The five victims were discovered near the Lansing River Trail near Michigan State University. The deaths occurred between October 2025 and September 2026. Police arrested a suspect in connection with the stabbing death of one man, but have not linked him to the other deaths. O'Toole said police have more work to do before determining whether the cases are related.  That includes examining unsolved homicides in the surrounding area and potentially other states for evidence of earlier crimes by the same offender. "They'll look at other homicides both in Michigan and in the surrounding areas because we know from other cases serial killers can travel around, so they want to be able to understand the breadth and the extent of the damage that one person could do," she said. "And in that effort, they'll be looking at what we call practice murders. These are the murders that a serial killer will engage in as they're becoming a lot better at their trade. And those practice murders could have occurred in Michigan or in another state," she added.

The location employed 30 people. Jersey Mike’s followed in May, becoming the second store to open in the complex. Its 1,400-square-foot shop employed 16 people, most of them Maricopa residents.  Zoyo Neighborhood Yogurt was also among the early tenants, while Chipotle was preparing to open that summer.  At the groundbreaking, developer Monty Ortman reflected on his role in Maricopa’s early growth alongside partner Mike Ingram through El Dorado Holdings. The company was instrumental in lobbying for the expansion of Maricopa Road and developing agricultural land for the city’s growth.  “I looked at my partner and said, ‘Why not, let’s do it; it’s no big deal.’ Well, it was a big deal,” Ortman said of getting Maricopa Road built. “It was well worth it though.”  The post Before the burritos and subs: The Shops at Maricopa Station appeared first on InMaricopa.com.

Lighthouse Food Rescue & Distribution, operated by Pastfor Ralph Olmos, received a citation requiring the nonprofit to remove its food distribution operation from the public sidewalk within 10 days and cease operations at its longtime 17th Street location within 60 days. Olmos told Fox News Digital that despite the city's subsequent offer to help with relocation costs, he sees little possibility of keeping the pantry at its current location, pointing to the city's previous recognition of his charitable work. "I can tell you that this is definitely not my first rodeo with the City," Olmos told Fox News Digital. "But from being called a Beacon of hope, to get out or we will fine you. There really doesn't seem any way that the Lighthouse stays on 17th street." CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR CANDIDATE WARNS OF 'MAGA-LIKE' STATE MOVEMENT UNLESS DEMS 'WAKE UP' Following the backlash, San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan and Councilmember Anthony Tordillos, who represent the district where Lighthouse operates, told Fox News Digital that the city was working to help relocate the pantry while addressing concerns about sidewalk accessibility for neighborhood residents. "Two things can be true at once – and they are in this case. Lighthouse is doing incredible work in the community and their neighbors deserve to be able to use the sidewalk," the officials said in a joint statement.  "We’ve been working with our Housing Department and Code Compliance Team to find a place where the pastor can relocate and continue serving the community while ensuring that the mobility issues in the neighborhood are addressed so that elderly and disabled residents can get where they need to go," they added.  The officials also addressed the potential financial penalties outlined in the city's original enforcement notice, emphasizing that no fines had been imposed and that San Jose was instead offering financial assistance to help the nonprofit relocate. "No fines have been assessed – in fact, the City has offered to help with relocation costs because we are committed to finding a solution that is not punitive but creates a better situation for everyone involved," Mahan and Tordillos said. DEM MAYOR FED UP WITH HOMELESS CRISIS PROPOSES JAILING VAGRANTS WHO REFUSE HOUSING The response followed a report from San Jose Spotlight, detailing a Sept. 25 citation ordering Lighthouse to remove its sidewalk food distribution operation and canopies within 10 days or face potential fines of up to $20,000 daily. The citation also directed the nonprofit to cease operations at its current location within 60 days. Pastor Ralph Olmos, the nonprofit's president and CEO, previously expressed concern about abandoning the families who depend on its services. "I'm up against the wall. It's almost like (the city is) telling me to stop. But my conviction says, 'How can I leave the people?'" Olmos told San Jose Spotlight. The pantry, located near East Julian and North 17th streets, distributes groceries five days a week to families, seniors, homeless residents and people with disabilities. Its offerings include milk, meat, eggs and specialized food packages. WATCH: CALIFORNIA DEMS RALLY AROUND HEALTHCARE FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS DURING FIERY DEBATE Mahan also addressed the controversy on Instagram, saying his administration was working to ensure the organization's charitable efforts continue. "Seeing the outpouring of advocacy and support for [Light House Food Rescue] has been amazing — and I’m right there with you. Pastor Olmos has been doing incredible work in our community and we’re going to make sure that work can continue. My team, alongside our Housing Department, has been in touch with the Pastor over the past week to help them relocate to a location that works for them, the people they serve and their neighbors. The city may even be able to help them with moving costs. Stay tuned!" Mahan said. The controversy marked another dispute between the Lighthouse and the city. In 2022, the nonprofit faced a special use permit requirement costing up to $15,500. Following community opposition, then-Mayor Sam Liccardo and Councilmember Raul Peralez proposed waiving or funding the fees. The City Council later voted unanimously to support relief for food pantries, according to the San Jose Spotlight. That same year, San Jose officially recognized Lighthouse through its Silicon Valley Strong Heroes initiative, praising Olmos and volunteers for feeding vulnerable residents during the pandemic. City Planning, Building and Code Enforcement spokesperson Marika Krause told San José Spotlight that zoning rules have since changed and a special use permit is no longer available for the pantry's current operations.  The city has not publicly confirmed a finalized relocation site or whether the original 60-day shutdown order has been rescinded.

After his ex-wife, Christine Baumgartner, filed for divorce in May 2023, the 71-year-old actor has been sparking romance rumors with a number of women, both in and out of the entertainment industry. Most recently, he was photographed shopping in Santa Barbara with a much younger lifestyle coach, and prior to that had the internet buzzing with speculation he was dating actress Brooks Nader. KEVIN COSTNER'S EX MARRIES FAMILY FRIEND A YEAR AND A HALF AFTER FINALIZING DIVORCE FROM 'YELLOWSTONE' STAR Here is a rundown on some of the women Costner has been connected to since entering her bachelor era. Costner was recently photographed on a shopping date with his latest reported romance, a woman the Daily Mail identified as 40-year-old lifestyle coach Jennifer Milburn. The pair were photographed smiling as they walked down the aisles of the grocery store and through the parking lot together, taking turns pushing the shopping cart around. Milburn kept it casual in cutoff denim shorts and a white button-up shirt, while Costner walked the aisles in an all-white outfit paired with sunglasses. BROOKS NADER FLAUNTS PLUNGING SWIMSUIT DURING STEAMY BEACH DATE WITH ACTOR TARON EGERTON IN AUSTRALIA It is unclear when their relationship began. The "Dances with Wolves" star has also been spotted out and about with influencer McKenna Wesley a few times throughout the past year. They were first photographed sitting next to each other at a screening of "Field of Dreams" in Arizona, in October 2025. Nearly one year later, the two were photographed together again, while enjoying lunch in Santa Barbara. One source told Page Six that "They met in Scottsdale about a year ago. They both love to golf," while another added that "She has been his guest on multiple occasions at his Santa Barbara and Aspen properties." In November 2024, The Daily Mail reported that the "Yellowstone" actor and Sharon Stone were getting "flirty" with each other while at the 2024 Governors Awards. "They started off polite with small talk then he put on his Kevin Costner charm, you know, like the vibes he gave off in Bull Durham and Tin Cup, like heyyyy baby," a source told Daily Mail at the time. The source went on to say that it seemed like the two actors "liked each other a lot." While rumors of a romance between the two ran rampant, Stone shut down any speculation when speaking with Extra TV in December 2024. "First of all, I'm not dating Kevin Costner. I’ve known Kevin Costner for probably 30 years, and I think if we haven’t dated so far, we’re probably not going to," she told the outlet.

In the photos, Costner has his arm around Jewel while the two were visiting Richard Branson's private island, Necker Island. Both Costner and Jewel addressed the rumors separately, noting the singer was there doing work for her charity, The Inspiring Children Foundation, while Costner was there because he finally decided to accept Branson's invitation to the island after 10 years of saying no. "Jewel and I are friends. We've never gone out ever," Costner explained on "The Howard Stern Show" in June 2024. "She's special – and I don't want - I don't want these rumors to ruin our friendship because that's what we have. She's special to me. She's beautiful enough to go out with."

"Kelly is seeing Kevin, but it's very casual," a source told the outlet at the time. "She thinks he's wonderful and interesting." The two kept their relationship mostly private, with a source telling US Weekly in January that Gores has been "grounding" for Costner, and that he is "not looking for a serious relationship or marriage any time soon." "It’s very private and casual," the source said. "After such a public and expensive divorce, he’s being cautious. They see each other when schedules allow, often spending time at his Santa Barbara estate. They love dinners at home, walks on the beach and quiet nights in." It is unclear when or if the two stopped seeing each other.

According to TMZ, the two both attended Scott Sartiano’s VIP dinner and were seen chatting. The "Baywatch" actress shut down the rumors while speaking to Entertainment Tonight later that month. "Oh my gosh. I am single. As of right now, I am single," she told the outlet before covering her face with her hands. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acbc2ef75342cf4db8ee4e3 Rescue expert warns FlyDubai hijacking attempt shows US, allies are ‘playing checkers’ against terror threat te 2026-10-11T17:10:07.868Z Rescue expert warns FlyDubai hijacking attempt shows US, allies are ‘playing checkers’ against terror threat The FlyDubai attempted hijacking shows the U.S. and its allies are still using outdated counterterrorism assumptions against increasingly sophisticated enemies, a U.S. rescue expert and 9/11 first responder warns. "They’re good at chess," Bryan Stern, chairman and CEO of Grey Bull Rescue, told Fox News Digital on Monday, saying the radical ideology behind the FlyDubai attack is a ringing "bell" for global aviation security and Western counterterrorism strategy. "And we’re, if we’re lucky, playing checkers – if we’re lucky – and I would argue we’re not even playing checkers that well." TERROR CELLS INSIDE FOREIGN AIRLINES 'CERTAINLY A POSSIBILITY,' RETIRED PILOT WARNS Stern, whose global nonprofit conducts evacuations from war zones and hostage situations, said the thwarted FlyDubai attack by "an angry, radicalized, Sunni bad guy" is showing just how far behind our enemies we are in this post-9/11 world. "They understand us significantly more than we understand them," Stern, who has been "hunting the bad guys" for 30 years, said. Stern said the U.S. has to understand the "asymmetric warfare" as well as the increasingly sophisticated enemy does. "The reason why a football coach watches game tapes is not to watch his own team play, it's to watch the bad guys play," he said. "We gotta start watching some game tapes." AMERICA BUILT A FORTRESS AFTER 9/11. THEN THE THREAT STARTED HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT Stern is intimately in tune with the playbook on the ground in war zones, including the Middle East and Iran. "We conduct these operations in these places still to this very day," he said. "We're actually on the ground, meaning I know people in Hezbollah, I know people in the Taliban. I know people in ISIS. I know people in ISIS-K. I've met with radical jihadi weirdos and whack jobs personally." United Arab Emirates investigators have described the incident aboard FlyDubai flight FZ1073 as an attempted terror attack after the co-pilot allegedly stabbed the captain and tried to hijack the plane, which was carrying more than 170 passengers and crew, most of them Israelis. Australian authorities have also said a counterterrorism unit is investigating the co-pilot’s links to Australia. INTEL CHIEF WARNS OF 'EVOLVING' THREATS AS TERROR GROUPS NOW 'RECRUIT THEIR AGENTS ONLINE' "The bad guys are completely not afraid. They're completely emboldened. They have got the whole world to hate Israel, the whole world to hate us," he said. "It's a tough problem." Since the incident, there has been renewed vigilance in aviation and foreign airline security. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed his national security council to review security procedures for foreign civil aviation to Israel, while Vice President JD Vance said Monday that flight security procedures are also under review in the U.S. IRAN COULD MOVE SHADOW WAR IN A DANGEROUS DIRECTION, EXPERTS WARN ON BACK OF TWO POSSIBLE TERROR ATTACKS "I was asked years ago when I was still with the government," Stern said. "A team was put together and the question before the court was, if you were al-Qaeda, what would you do?" "What I came up with was ... I would get 19 hijackers, and I would hijack four airplanes, and I would fly them into buildings in America, and then issue a communique that said: 20 years of war, you are no safer today than you were before – that for TSA, and Homeland Security, and Iraq, and Afghanistan and all the different things, you are actually no safer, America, today than you were before," he said. "We're seeing, sadly," he lamented, "that academic hypothetical situation has now become a reality, or certainly a possibility." Despite President Donald Trump and the War Department's best efforts to rid the world of terrorist groups – and Iran of nuclear weapons aspirations – "you can't bomb your way into peace," Stern claimed. 'CRAZY' FLYDUBAI LANDING EXPLAINED BY ISRAELI PILOT, WHO OFFERS STEPS TO PREVENT FUTURE CRISES "They have been in holy war against us," he added. "We have now engaged in a holy war against them." "On Ramadan, the holiest month of the year in Islam, on the first day, which is the holiest day, we detonated the leader of the Shia faith, the Ayatollah," he said, likening it to "if somebody assassinated the pope on Easter Sunday while he's giving mass at the Vatican." Stern explained that rooting out ideological terror in the U.S. is more complex than ever, because even if the border is not open any longer under Trump, the terrorist networks might be infiltrating America with U.S. passport holders – making them tough to investigate, if not impossible to spot before an attack. NETANYAHU PRAISES HEROIC BYSTANDER IN BLOODY COCKPIT ATTACK FOR PREVENTING ‘ANOTHER 9/11’ Stern likened it to the release of the suspects in the RAF Fairford investigation – potential terrorist passport holders walking free. "Until I actually squeeze the triggers, I haven't committed a crime yet," he said. "Now give me an airplane." "That's the problem." Stern noted that the nature of America's adversaries in the current conflict is unlike what the U.S. faced in places like Afghanistan. "We need to remember we are very used to shooting people like the Taliban who don't know what plumbing is – who literally for years lived in caves until we showed up and gave them stuff," he continued. "The bad guys that we're talking about today are extremely sophisticated. They are extremely resourced, extremely resourceful. They're very intelligent, they're very smart, and they're very good at what they do." IRAN UNDER SCRUTINY AFTER PLOT FOILED NEAR UK BASE USED BY US MILITARY "The Persian Empire is the only empire of empires who have been all the way on top and all the way defeated at the bottom – six times," he said. "They're looking at us going, you're 250 years old. How adorable. You're cute, America." Stern predicted that some day even 9/11 — which he survived as a first responder — is ultimately going to be dwarfed. "What will happen, probably is we'll get attacked – just like 9/11, we'll get attacked," he said. "We'll say, 'Oh my God, how did this happen?' People will wake up." "I promise you there will come a time, it will be, you know, June 26 or whatever, where we're gonna read about 9/11, and we're gonna say, 'Wow, that wasn't so bad, only 3,000 died,'" he warned. "Why? Because we have created a holy war. We have now gotten into the crazy. And you cannot unring that bell."

The rocker said he hoped the collaboration would send a message about maintaining friendships despite political disagreements, highlighting his nearly 40-year friendship with Eminem. "We said years ago, we said, 'Man, let's not let politics divide us.' And we never did. And so when I asked him to be part of this... he totally got it," Kid Rock said. "Two little foul-mouthed white rappers from Detroit maybe could set a good example for the rest of this country" by showing that it's OK to differ politically and still be friends, he added. PRESIDENT TALKS 'TRUMP OCEAN,' TRADES JOKES WITH TENNESSEE CROWD AS KID ROCK KICKS OFF SPRAWLING RALLY He called Eminem a "class act" and said the freedom to hold differing opinions is what makes the United States great. "Since when can you not express your points and your views and your opinions?" Kid Rock said, adding that he believes politics has no place onstage. Instead, the Detroit-born singer hopes to use his music to bring people together through faith. His new Christian album reflects his lifelong relationship with God, he said, rather than a sudden religious conversion.  He described the album as a collection of songs centered on forgiveness and second chances and outlined plans to bring Christian revival-style performances to arenas and stadiums. "After Charlie Kirk was assassinated, like a lot of people, I started to become closer to my faith," Kid Rock said, adding that his renewed focus on faith inspired a period of songwriting that shaped the album. GRANGER SMITH SAYS FAME CAN BECOME ‘POISON’ AFTER LEAVING COUNTRY MUSIC FOR MINISTRY Despite the album's religious themes, the singer rejected the suggestion that he had undergone a sudden religious conversion, saying his faith has always been part of his identity. "I didn't get saved. I'm still Kid Rock. I'm still going to drink a beer and smoke a cigar," he said. "I feel like I've always been right with God." Kid Rock also pointed to a connection between his birthday, Jan. 17, 1971, and his middle name, James, and the Bible verse James 1:17, which he said "basically says all good things come from God." WHY ERIKA KIRK’S FORGIVENESS MATTERS Beyond his personal faith, the singer said he hopes the album will encourage Americans to put aside their political differences. "This record is about second chances and forgiveness. It's about trying to heal some of the division in our country," he said. He said he wants to bring his Christian music to arenas and stadiums, combining a traditional rock concert with a religious revival. "I wanted to create the songs that I wanted to go to church and hear," he said. "And I want to have revivals, Saturday night revivals in arenas, stadiums, people drinking beer, having a good time, celebrating our Lord and Savior," he said, calling the proposed performances a "full-on monster rock show." "I think that could do a lot of good in the world." Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acbbe4275342cf4db8ee3f7 Jason Kelce’s Eagles-Jaguars broadcast shows why NFL booths could use more offensive linemen te 2026-10-11T16:50:10.378Z Jason Kelce’s Eagles-Jaguars broadcast shows why NFL booths could use more offensive linemen Jason Kelce made an emergency long snapper one of the most interesting parts of Eagles-Jaguars on Sunday morning. I wasn’t expecting to spend much time thinking about Jacksonville’s long-snapping situation when I turned on the game. But that’s where we ended up, and having a former offensive lineman in the booth made it worth listening to. Kelce joined Dave Pasch and Kurt Warner for NFL Network’s broadcast from London. The assignment is one of four games on Kelce’s NFL Network schedule this season. The combination worked really well. Warner can explain the game from the quarterback’s perspective, while Kelce spent his career dealing with everything happening directly in front of the quarterback. CRACKERS START IN LONDON AS FIRST KICKOFF RETURN TOUCHDOWN OF NFL SEASON NULLIFIED AND TWO PLAYERS EJECTED Most game broadcasts spend a lot of time talking about quarterback play, and rightfully so: it's the most important position on the field. That said, it was refreshing to get some perspective from a former offensive lineman and it added depth to the presentation. After Jaguars long snapper Ross Matiscik suffered a shoulder injury, Jacksonville turned to defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton. Long snapper isn't a position most fans spend much time thinking about (at least not until something goes horribly wrong), but it's a critical position. Kelce had actually done the job in high school and knew something about the difficulty of doing it as a very large human being. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! "When I got fat, when I put on weight, I used to long-snap in high school," Kelce said. "When I got to over 300 pounds-ish, it became really hard to look in between your legs." Well, there’s something I hadn’t considered. Hamilton, a 29-year-old, 6-foot-4, 335-pound defensive tackle who long snapped in high school, was being asked to handle a job that could swing the game with one bad snap. Kelce was enjoying Hamilton’s effort, too. "Way to go, DaVon Hamilton. I love it." ESPN STAR STEPHEN A. SMITH'S LANE JOHNSON, EAGLES RANT TRIGGERS IMMEDIATE VIDEO APOLOGY Warner, meanwhile, wanted to correct Kelce’s description of himself. "You’ve never been fat. You’re just husky." The reviews on X were considerably less friendly in places. "Jason Kelce is on the call for Jaguars/Eagles?… Yeah, this won’t be a biased broadcast at all," one user wrote. Another viewer said: "Yeah I’m sorry, Jason Kelce cannot do Eagles games. Clear bias and won’t stop talking." CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Playing for the Eagles doesn’t automatically make Kelce a bad choice to call their games. Judge him on what he says. Kelce did lay it on a little thick when praising Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni for calling a timeout late in the first half. The timeout gave replay officials more time to look at a potential fumble. It was a smart move, but Kelce was a little over-the-top in his approval. The other main complaint was that Kelce talked too much. One user posted, "Jason Kelce hasn’t stopped talking," while another viewer accused him of leaving Warner with nothing to do. I don't agree with that assessment. The three-man booth can be challenging to navigate and often one analyst spends more time talking. But I felt the distribution made sense. There’s room for Kelce’s enthusiasm alongside Warner’s analysis, especially when they’re looking at the game from different positions. The long-snapping sequence was my favorite part, but I’d like to hear that quarterback-center conversation on more broadcasts. And social media wasn't entirely negative. Chase Senior had a take I agreed with: "I actually think this role suits him better than being on the set for ESPN." Kelce is a natural as a game broadcaster. I wouldn’t be surprised if a network offers him a nice raise to do it full-time.

CDC Director Dr. Erica Schwartz said the Trump administration is working across multiple agencies to identify travelers arriving from the region following the mysterious death of a Russian laboratory worker, while emphasizing that the risk to Americans remains minimal. "We are very confident that the threat to the United States is extremely low," Schwartz said during a Wall Street Journal health forum Wednesday. MOTHER OF DEAD RUSSIAN ANTI-PLAGUE INSTITUTE WORKER: 'I KNOW THE TRUTH' The concerns stem from the Oct. 2 death of Darya Shipilova, a 28-year-old employee of the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute in Siberia, whose death has fueled speculation about a possible pneumonic plague infection. Russian authorities have maintained that Shipilova died from pneumonia of unknown origin and have not confirmed that she was infected with Yersinia pestis, the bacteria that causes pneumonic plague. Schwartz said the CDC is working with the departments of Homeland Security, State and War, among other federal agencies, to track potential arrivals from the region. "There are about 200 flights that come into the United States from Siberia, that region," Schwartz said, adding that those flights typically arrive at New York's John F.

"We have a port health station set up in JFK so that we can do appropriate surveillance and screening if anyone from that area comes into the United States," she continued. The CDC director stressed that while pneumonic plague is a serious bacterial infection capable of spreading between people through respiratory droplets, early detection and treatment can prevent deaths. TRUMP RESPONDS TO CONCERNS OVER SUSPECTED PLAGUE CASE IN RUSSIA, SAYING US 'WILLING TO HELP' "The one good thing, if I could say there's a good thing, is that it's a treatable, highly treatable bacterial disease with common antibiotics that most physicians within the United States can utilize," Schwartz said. The illness is caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis and is considered the most serious form of plague, according to the CDC. Symptoms can include fever, chest pain, coughing and rapidly developing pneumonia. Without prompt antibiotic treatment, the infection can be fatal, the agency warns. The World Health Organization (WHO) has pressed Moscow for additional information about Shipilova's death. Russian authorities placed approximately 200 people who had contact with the deceased laboratory worker under quarantine, according to Euronews. On Thursday, Irkutsk Gov. Igor Kobzev said preventive measures had been completed and roughly 5,000 laboratory tests had detected no pathogens, according to the Associated Press. RUSSIAN RESEARCHER'S MYSTERY DEATH COULD BE ‘FAR WORSE’ THAN THE PLAGUE, FORMER SENIOR TRUMP OFFICIAL WARNS However, Russian officials have not publicly identified the pathogen responsible for Shipilova's pneumonia or definitively ruled out pneumonic plague as the cause of her death, according to The Associated Press. Asked whether Moscow was being sufficiently transparent with American authorities, Schwartz indicated that the administration was still seeking answers. "We are still having those conversations about what exactly happened in Siberia," she said, adding that U.S. officials were working with information about an unconfirmed case of pneumonic plague.

The British superstar addressed Nemeth on Thursday night’s "Impact" and vowed to accomplish his goal. Director of Authority Santino Marella stipulated that neither competitor could put their hands on each other before their match. "Nic, let’s get one thing clear – that rule isn’t saving me. That rule is saving you," Slater said, "Because in a couple of days at Bound for Glory, when I finally get to beat your a— and take that title, you are going to realize exactly why they call me ‘The Youngest In Charge.’ " Slater has been TNA’s most prolific rising star in recent memory.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acbb02f75342cf4db8ee165 Innocent mistake on long flight could have devastating consequences for travelers te 2026-10-11T15:50:07.257Z Innocent mistake on long flight could have devastating consequences for travelers An everyday habit during a long-haul flight could have painful consequences for certain travelers — with a recent case highlighting some serious dangers.  The dry air inside an airplane cabin, combined with hours spent wearing contact lenses during a long travel day, can leave the lenses with less moisture and eyes feeling increasingly uncomfortable, experts say. In some cases, irritation or damage to the surface of the eye can lead to more serious problems. FLIGHT ATTENDANTS BEG TRAVELERS TO STOP DOING THE ONE THING THAT ANNOYS CREWS MOST One traveler recently described temporarily losing vision in one eye after returning home from an international trip, according to the New York Post. The woman said she wore her contact lenses throughout an 11-hour flight home from Greece and for roughly 24 hours of travel — while also wearing them while swimming and showering, according to the outlet. Within days of returning home, the traveler developed pain and sensitivity to light before her vision significantly worsened.  Doctors eventually diagnosed her with a corneal ulcer.  She underwent weeks of treatment with eye drops and was left with a small scar that continues to blur part of her vision, the outlet reported. Valerie Kattouf, an Illinois-based optometrist, told Fox News Digital that wearing contacts during extended flights can increase dry-eye symptoms and lead to irritation, a "sandy, gritty feeling" and intermittent blurred vision. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER "The cabin air has significantly reduced humidity that can actually remove moisture from the contact lens and create more dryness," Kattouf said. Falling asleep during a long or overnight flight can add another concern for travelers wearing contacts. "People often sleep on long flights, which contributes to more risk with contact [lens] wear," Kattouf said. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE STORIES As a contact lens loses moisture, it may move less freely on the eye, Kattouf said.  Removing a particularly dry lens could potentially disturb the epithelium, the outer layer of the cornea, causing significant irritation and potentially affecting vision. For travelers preparing for a long flight, Kattouf recommends bringing an up-to-date pair of prescription glasses. "Wearing glasses during a long flight is more ideal for eye health and long-term comfortable contact [lens] wear," she said. As another option, travelers who begin their journey wearing contacts can switch to glasses before sleeping or partway through the flight, Kattouf suggested. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ For those who keep their contacts in, single-use vials of artificial tears may also help provide additional lubrication during the flight, according to Kattouf. The issue has also led to discussion among travelers online, with some saying they routinely opt for glasses during longer trips. "I [always] wear glasses on long flights," one Reddit user wrote. "My eyes just feel so much more comfortable by the time I land, and I don't have to worry about taking them out at the airport or on the plane, or sleeping on the plane." Another traveler said that leaving contacts in place during a flight left the person regretting the decision. "My eyes were so dry at the end, even with eyedrops," the person wrote.

Normally, fixing that means cropping even more of the photo. Now your phone may be able to go in the other direction. Apple added new Extend and Reframe tools to Photos in iOS 27. Instead of simply cutting away part of an image, Apple Intelligence can generate additional areas around the original shot or change its perspective after you take it. Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones offer similar AI editing tools that can help rescue photos that did not come out quite the way you planned. Join us for a free CyberGuy LIVE class.

See the classes and register at CyberGuyLive.com 12 BIGGEST APPLE WWDC 2026 TAKEAWAYS YOU NEED TO KNOW Apple added several Apple Intelligence upgrades to Photos with iOS 27. Two of the most useful are Extend and Reframe. Extend lets you expand a photo beyond its original borders. For example, if someone's head is too close to the top of the image or you want more space around the subject, Apple Intelligence can generate additional background. Reframe goes further. Apple says it lets you change the point of capture after taking the photo. You can move the image, zoom, rotate it and adjust its perspective while Apple Intelligence generates the additional portions needed for the new composition. These tools go beyond traditional cropping. Cropping removes part of your image. Extend and Reframe can create parts of the image that were never captured by the camera. Because these are generative AI features, take a close look at the final result. AI-generated areas can sometimes contain strange details, especially around faces, hands, text or complicated backgrounds. Extend and Reframe require Apple Intelligence and iOS 27 or later. Apple Intelligence works on: Availability can also depend on your language and region. Apple says some Apple Intelligence features may have usage limits. If you have an older iPhone that can install iOS 27 but does not support Apple Intelligence, you will not get these particular editing tools. Use Extend when you want more room around the subject or need to expand the edges of your original photo. If you change your mind later, Apple lets you return to the editing tools and reset the Extend changes. CALIFORNIA LAW PUTS DIGITAL FINGERPRINTS ON AI FAKES Use Reframe when the composition or perspective feels wrong rather than simply too tight. This can be especially useful when your subject is awkwardly positioned or you wish you had held the camera at a slightly different angle. Samsung takes a somewhat different approach. Compatible Galaxy phones use Galaxy AI Photo Assist, which includes tools for moving, removing and adding objects in a photo. For this trick, the Move tool is the one to use. It lets you reposition, rotate or resize part of the image, then uses generative AI to fill in the background created by your changes. Samsung's standard Gallery editor also lets you change the aspect ratio, rotate the picture and adjust its angle. Menus can vary slightly by Galaxy model and software version. 8 BIGGEST THINGS WE LEARNED FROM APPLE'S 2026 EVENT Google Photos has one of the closest Android alternatives to Apple's new Extend tool. It's called Auto frame. Google says Auto frame can recompose a photo that is too tightly cropped or poorly framed. It can also use AI to fill in missing areas and extend the background. Make sure you have the latest version of the Google Photos app. Google also includes Straighten, Rotate, Perspective and Aspect ratio controls in the same Crop section if you want to make the adjustment yourself. Google rolls out some Photos features gradually. Therefore, if you do not see Auto frame, update Google Photos and check again. Availability can also vary by device, account and region. AI photo editing works best when you give it a reasonably clear original image. Here are a few things to keep in mind. AI can generate new areas around an image, but it cannot completely rescue every blurry or badly exposed shot. Start with the clearest version you have. Instead of dramatically expanding the entire picture, try adding a little extra space around the edges. Smaller edits can look more natural. Zoom in before saving. Check faces, hands, hair, jewelry and clothing for unexpected changes. Generative AI can struggle with letters and numbers. Look closely at street signs, shirts, storefronts and anything else containing text. When your phone gives you the option, save the edited version as a copy. That way, you still have the untouched photo if the AI result does not look right later. One of the frustrating things about smartphone photography is realizing you almost got the perfect shot. Maybe you stood a little too close, left the person too far to one side or tilted the camera just enough to make the composition feel wrong. iOS 27 gives supported iPhones another way to fix those mistakes with Extend and Reframe. I also like that Galaxy and Pixel owners have comparable options instead of sitting this one out. These tools will not replace taking a well-framed photo in the first place, but they can give a photo you would otherwise delete another shot. Have you ever deleted a photo because you framed it badly, or would you trust AI to fill in parts of the scene that your camera never captured?

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acbade475342cf4db8ee13a ‘I want to play better’: ASU’s Dillingham hungry for more despite victory over Hawaii te 2026-10-11T15:40:20.573Z ‘I want to play better’: ASU’s Dillingham hungry for more despite victory over Hawaii TEMPE – One word said everything when Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham described his level of fulfillment Saturday. “Blah.” “I want to play better,” he said about his team’s 30-12 victory over Hawaii. “I think we’re better than that. I think we can get better. I think this is a team that can continue to grow, and we’ve got to find a way to win games while we’re growing.” Perspective is required as ASU reflects on the victory. Hawaii is ranked 129th out of 138 FBS teams in scoring offense and 88th in scoring defense. With a difficult schedule ahead, growth is pertinent. Saturday’s effort came on the heels of ASU’s largest defeat since joining the Big 12, a 55-19 loss to Baylor. Dillingham responded by handing playcalling duties back to offensive coordinator Marcus Arroyo. Dillingham took on that role ahead of the 2025 Sun Bowl and kept it until the poor performance agains the Bears. After ASU (3-2, 1-1 Big 12) defeated Hawaii (1-5, 0-3 Mountain West), Dillingham found success in places. “There’s some things that we have to clean up throughout the week, but I thought the game was called really well,” Dillingham said. “I was supportive of basically everything that was happening.” While the offense made the biggest adjustment during the week, the defense had the most work to do after giving up its highest mark since 2023. After holding the Rainbow Warriors to 12 points, the least the defense has allowed against an FBS opponent this season, junior linebacker Martell Hughes was happy with how the defense fixed the mistakes seen the previous week “I felt like we did good at that,” Hughes said. “I feel like we all played with energy, played off of each other, and were able to make each other right.”  With Arroyo taking over playcalling duties for Saturday, the offense found its rhythm. ASU gained 420 yards, the most it gained since week one.  The primary contributor to the offense was freshman running back Cardae Mack, who celebrated his 19th birthday by rushing for 154 yards and two touchdowns. His 154 yards were the most by an ASU freshman since Keegan Herring ran for 197 in 2005. After the game, Mack was proud that the win got ASU back on track. “We just had to get back in our groove and find ourselves,” Mack said. “Who we are is who we are. The only people that can stop us is us.” Heading into the game, nobody wanted to see Mack succeed more than his mom. Dillingham said that Mack’s mother asked him before the game he was going to play.  The answer from Dillingham was a resounding yes, giving Mack 13 carries as a birthday gift.  Mack made the most of his opportunity, averaging 11.8 yards per carry. Mack’s first touchdown of the night came from ASU’s “Sparky” formation, the term the team uses instead of wildcat. Arizona State quarterback Cutter Boley takes a snap during the first half against the University of Hawaii at Mountain America Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 10, 2026. (Photo by Destini Jones/Cronkite News) Mack lined up at quarterback, a position he played in high school, caught the snap and rushed one yard for a touchdown. Mack’s second score came on a polar opposite play. From ASU’s territory, Mack took a handoff up the middle, going untouched for 65 yards of his 67-yard touchdown run. After the game, Dillingham recalled his interaction with Mack’s mother that morning, crediting her for his success.  “He’s the person he is because of his mama,” Dillingham said. “She did a great job raising him. He played well. He’s going to play well, he’s going to get the ball more. That’s how it works.” Dillingham also credits Mack, a true freshman, in showing how his program has improved since he took over. Mack was a four-star prospect out of high school and has already left his mark on the 2026 season through five games. “It just shows the progress of the program,” Dillingham said. “You’re not just going to recruit those types of kids when you show up. You have to build and have success to get in the door.” The run game had its best performance of the season against an FBS opponent overall. ASU’s 231 yards was over 100 more than the next best mark. Dillingham knew the importance of running the ball against Hawaii, and having 167 more rushing yards than the opponent did the trick. “If you win the rushing battle, you know you’re probably going to win most games,” Dillingham said. “We won the rushing battle, and it was clear.” Although ASU’s air attack was not as notable as the run game, Boley’s 189 yards and two touchdowns on 21-for-31 efficiency was more than enough to help lift the offense. The passing game once again benefited from the connection between quarterback Cutter Boley and wide receiver Reed Harris.  Against Hawaii, Harris went for 91 yards and two touchdowns on eight receptions.  Behind a cleaner pocket than he’s had in weeks past, Boley seemed much more comfortable throwing the ball. He limited mistakes and had no trouble finding his wide receivers in space, something that started on the first drive of the game when the quarterback connected with Harris for an 18-yard pass. The offense found success in putting together long drives. While two of ASU’s four touchdowns were defined by  large gains, the two others came from drives that lasted over five and a half minutes. Each of those two drives were 79 yards, the first taking 10 plays and the second taking nine. After a wake-up call against Baylor, ASU responded with a performance that showed a new side of the offense, something Dillingham saw in practice leading up to the game. “I learned the guys are going to fight,” Dillingham said. “They showed up and they had a really good week of practice. They worked their butts off all week. … I know I’ve said that before, but I really like our football team.  “I really think if I can get this team to operate on all cylinders, we can be a team that gets better and better and better throughout the year.” ASU now faces the toughest stretch of its schedule.  The Sun Devils will travel to Lubbock, Texas, to face No. 11 Texas Tech, before returning home for a matchup with Kansas State. After playing the Wildcats, ASU will take a trip to Provo, Utah, to face No. 8 BYU. With a test ahead, Dillingham is pleased with what Saturday’s win means, but he knows they still have work to do. “Our guys were a lot more intent in how we played,” Dillingham said. “I thought we played harder. I thought that was clear. I still think there’s a little bit of trying to figure us out, though. That’s just being transparent. “There’s a little bit of us still figuring us out, but I thought we were closer to where we need to be today.” Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acbaddf75342cf4db8ee123 Arrests & Citations: Lake Havasu City police for Oct. 10 te 2026-10-11T15:40:15.629Z Arrests & Citations: Lake Havasu City police for Oct. 10 Lake Havsu City Police reported the following arrests and citations: Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acbadde75342cf4db8ee11a Flash flooding hits Mohave County as storm brings heavy rain, 63 mph gust at Havasu airport te 2026-10-11T15:40:14.477Z Flash flooding hits Mohave County as storm brings heavy rain, 63 mph gust at Havasu airport Heavy rain triggered flash flood warnings across Mohave County early Sunday as a powerful storm swept through the region, bringing thunderstorms, dangerous road conditions and a wind gust reaching 63 mph at Havasu City Airport.

The actress, who takes on the Iron Lady opposite Dennis Quaid in "Reagan," has shown plenty of steel off-screen, recalling "three times in my life when I should have been killed by other people." For Down, known for her roles in "North and South" and "Upstairs, Downstairs," the unsettling experiences began when she was just 10 years old. MORGAN FAIRCHILD SAYS TWO MEN ONCE ABDUCTED HER OFF NYC STREET AS BYSTANDERS LAUGHED "I remember there was a little girl, one of a number of children who were murdered and buried on the moors in England," the British star told Fox News Digital. "There was a little girl who had dark hair and blue eyes and was my age, 10. Her name was Leslie Ann Downey. My mother got phone calls when this little girl's identity was announced." "It wasn't me, of course," said Down. "But it certainly freaked her out. Leslie Ann Downey was about six months younger than me. It turned out there were two people, a man and a woman. Ian Brady and Myra Hindley. They were the killers." Brady and Hindley murdered five children between 1963 and 1965, with several of their victims buried on Saddleworth Moor in northern England, according to The Associated Press. The case became known as the Moors murders. WATCH: ‘REAGAN’ PRODUCER SHARES WHAT HE LEARNED FROM RESEARCHING RONALD REAGAN Hindley and Brady were arrested in 1965 and later convicted of murders connected to the case. The five victims were Downey, Pauline Reade, John Kilbride, Keith Bennett and Edward Evans, who ranged in age from 10 to 17. Bennett's body has never been found. According to accounts of the case, Downey was abducted after Hindley asked her to help carry packages to a car. Hindley died in 2002 while serving a life sentence. Brady died in a psychiatric hospital in 2017. The case frightened Down’s family. But it wouldn’t be the last time danger came close to home. "A year later, my mother and I were coming back from the launderette with the washing," Down said. "I ran ahead. I left the washing, I left my mother and just ran ahead. I ran uphill and then over a footbridge. As I ran over the footbridge, a man came from the other side. He's walking towards me. He stops in the middle of the footbridge and says, 'Hello.' He then was going to put me in his car." "He told me he needed a babysitter, and he would call my parents when we got to his house," Down said. "I remember having one foot in the car. Seeing my mother broke the spell. Then he was gone. But I still remember that horrible feeling swooping in before my mother came." GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE Years later, when Down was 18, she ordered a taxi. But when a car pulled up in the countryside, she climbed in and quickly noticed something was wrong. "As soon as he's driving away, I'm already feeling that horrible feeling," Down said. "I looked around and there were no radios or anything, like a taxi is supposed to have. So I said, 'Could you pull over, please?' He said, 'Oh no, we don't need to pull over. We'll be there soon.'" Down said she decided to jump from the moving car. "I opened the door and threw myself out of the 25-mile an hour car," she said. "I fell onto the curb in a puddle. I was covered in blood. There was nobody around. What did he do? He pulled the car door shut and drove off at top speed. I didn't freeze up because I couldn't. That feeling was familiar to me. I've been through it." Down, now 72, earned a Golden Globe nomination for her role opposite Patrick Swayze in "North and South." She also starred opposite Peter Sellers in "The Pink Panther Strikes Again" and Harrison Ford in "Hanover Street." She later appeared on the soap opera "The Bold and the Beautiful." When asked what advice she would give to women pursuing a career in Hollywood, Down had a warning: "Never go anywhere alone." LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

"Even if they have to be on the phone a lot and out in the lobby, just always have somebody with you at all times as you chase your dreams." "I made a decision many, many years ago, actually about 2012, that I wanted out," Down said. "I was in a position where I didn't have to. Things were very good. And I was fortunate to have all my eggs in a basket and make a choice." Down has since moved from California to Georgia. She also said she has no regrets about turning down two opportunities to play a Bond girl. "I guess my thought process was maybe a little old-fashioned, but being a Bond girl didn't really resonate with me," she explained. "Being a Bond girl was skimpy clothing, pretty face, not much dialogue, no acting involved, kissing James at the end in a spacecraft or whatever. I thought if I became a Bond girl, then I'd be a Bond girl for life. I didn't want that for myself." The opportunity to play Thatcher came "out of the blue," Down said. She accepted the role and said she was grateful for the experience. "She loved and believed in England and the English people," Down said. "Her counterpart, Mr. Reagan, also believed and loved the American people." PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE Down said leaders should "encompass what Thatcher and Reagan both believed," including doing "anything and everything they can for the longevity and success of the nation." For Down, taking on the role of Thatcher became another unexpected chapter in a life that has repeatedly taken surprising turns. But these days, the actress is content with where those turns have taken her. "My choice was to live the life I’m living now," she said. "Reagan" is available to rent or buy on digital platforms. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acba6d075342cf4db8ee014 Trump announces immediate energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine te 2026-10-11T15:10:08.777Z Trump announces immediate energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine President Donald Trump announced an immediate energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, saying both countries have agreed to halt attacks on each other's energy infrastructure after weeks of escalating tensions over strikes on oil refineries and power plants. "Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine. Both parties have agreed. Do not break it!" Trump wrote on Truth Social. The announcement comes as Trump has intensified pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to stop targeting Russian oil refineries, arguing that the attacks have disrupted global diesel supplies and contributed to higher fuel prices for American consumers. The issue has become increasingly urgent as diesel prices weigh on American farmers, truckers and businesses that rely on the fuel to transport goods and operate heavy equipment. RECORD GAS PRICES SQUEEZE AMERICANS AS MIDTERMS LOOM AND WAR IN UKRAINE AND IRAN WAGES ON Trump has repeatedly criticized Ukraine's strikes on Russian energy facilities, even as Kyiv maintains that targeting Moscow's oil industry is a legitimate strategy to weaken Russia's ability to finance its war. The announcement follows a contentious week in U.S.-Ukraine relations after Trump struck a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to allow Russian diesel exports to reach American and global markets. Under the agreement announced Friday, Russia would immediately supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel, with additional shipments expected in November and beyond. The Treasury Department also authorized temporary sanctions relief to facilitate Russian diesel supplies. Trump argued that the agreement would help bring down fuel prices, while Zelenskyy criticized the decision as a concession to Moscow that could provide additional revenue for Russia's war effort. The dispute escalated Saturday when Trump suggested Ukraine should replace Zelenskyy with a leader more willing to negotiate an end to the war. "I suggest they get a new leader who can make a deal," Trump told reporters. 'OUR POSITION IS CLEAR:' ZELENSKYY AND EU DISMISS CEDING UKRAINIAN LAND TO RUSSIA Zelenskyy, meanwhile, has maintained that Ukraine would be willing to halt attacks on Russian oil refineries if Moscow agreed to stop targeting Ukrainian power plants and other critical infrastructure. The two countries have increasingly targeted each other's energy systems throughout the war, although the consequences have differed. Russian strikes on Ukraine's power grid have left civilians facing electricity disruptions and damaged infrastructure needed to heat homes and sustain businesses. Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries, meanwhile, have disrupted fuel production and exports, putting additional pressure on global energy markets. The Trump administration has spent weeks attempting to negotiate a reciprocal halt to energy attacks as part of broader diplomatic efforts to bring an end to the war. In September, Trump similarly announced that both countries had agreed to an energy ceasefire, although Moscow did not publicly confirm the agreement and attacks continued. The latest announcement raises the possibility of renewed diplomatic progress, but an energy ceasefire would not amount to a comprehensive agreement to end the fighting. It was not immediately clear how the agreement would be monitored or enforced. The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

On the opening kickoff of this game ... Eagles kicker Jake Elliott kicked the ball 55 yards to the Jacksonville 10-yard line and Josh Cameron returned it 90 yards for a touchdown. It marked the first kickoff return touchdown in the NFL this season. NFL EXECS AND COACHES WANT LEAGUE TO REIN IN 'OUT OF CONTROL' OFFICIALS AND HOPE SUSPENSIONS SIGNAL A START But, no! Back upfield, officials – they had quite a week, by the way – had thrown multiple flags on the play. Two of those officials saw so much hijinks they threw their flag and then, seeing a second foul, threw their caps. NFL REFEREES JEFF SEEMAN AND ADRIAN HILL SUSPENDED AFTER UNPROFESSIONAL CLASHES WITH PLAYERS IN WEEK 4 So, with bated breath, we waited for the official announcement. And we learned both teams were flagged on the kickoff and players from both teams were flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. The touchdown was thus nullified because the Eagles lined up in an illegal formation and the Jaguars had linebacker Branson Combs called for holding. Nice start to a game. Then we learned that Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Jacksonville linebacker Bryan Thomas Jr. were both flagged for giving each other the business. It seems both men engaged in a block during the play and carried their standoff all the way to midfield where Trotter slammed Thomas to the turf after the play was over and then Thomas kicked up at Trotter while on his back. Both were flagged. Both were disqualified for the rest of the game – on a play that didn't even count. That hurt the Eagles more as Trotter was expected to get work with the starting defense while Thomas is exclusively a special teams contributor. So to recap: A season-first kickoff return touchdown was nullified by a penalty while a player from either team was ejected. It took officials a couple of minutes to sort it all. This game was bonkers from the beginning and then the crowd, a majority of which are Eagles fans, saw something perhaps stranger: The Eagles attempted to convert a fourth-and-1 play on their first possession but did not employ the Tush Push. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! The team that turned the play into a major NFL play lined up in shotgun and ran the ball. The conversion attempt failed. So why? Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been nursing a calf injury recently, and the Eagles offensive line is something of a work in progress. The Eagles are without starting center Drew Kendall this game as they traded left guard Cam Jurgens to the Baltimore Ravens last week, and right tackle Lane Johnson retired. And all that begs the question: Why did Eagles coach Nick Sirianni go for it on fourth-and-1 in the first place?

Williams posted a screenshot to her Instagram Story, along with a profanity-laced insult after the agency suggested she thank federal law enforcement officers rather than criticize their service. "And may I suggest all Nazi b------ suck on my fat d---," Williams said in response to DHS, according to Rolling Stone. WHITE HOUSE FIRES BACK AT ARIANA GRANDE AFTER SHE TOLD THEM TO NEVER USE HER MUSIC IN ICE DEPORTATION VIDEO The confrontation followed a recent concert by Haley Williams, where the singer condemned Immigration and Customs Enforcement while performing her song "Ice in My OJ." In response to the comment from Williams, a DHS spokesperson defended the work of immigration officers and urged Williams to recognize their service. "America is grateful all the time for our federal law enforcement officers who keep us safe," the spokesperson told Fox News Digital at the time. "We suggest Ms. Williams to thank them for their service, not belittle their sacrifice." Williams' latest response follows a performance where the singer drew attention for her criticism of immigration enforcement and expressions of support for Palestinians. During the concert, Williams paused her performance to deliver an anti-ICE declaration before continuing with the song. She also shouted a separate message supporting Palestinians. "Free motherf------ Palestine!" Williams said. KENNY CHESNEY TELLS BILL MAHER THE KEY REASON HE REFUSES TO TELL HIS LISTENERS HOW TO VOTE The exchange followed other political remarks Williams has incorporated into her solo tour, including criticism of President Donald Trump and Christian nationalism. A clip recirculated of her September performance at Forest Hills Stadium in New York, where she addressed the audience before performing "True Believer." "The greatest threat to American democracy is Christian nationalism," Williams said at the time. Lisa Cusack, president of the Don't L.A. My Burbank PAC, criticized that declaration in a statement to Fox News Digital, disputing Williams' characterization and arguing that Christianity played a central role in shaping democratic principles. TRUMP ADMIN MARKS 15 STRAIGHT MONTHS WITH ZERO BORDER RELEASES AS APPREHENSIONS PLUNGE 94% "Incredibly ignorant comment considering Christianity is woven into the fabric of every founding document that proscribes Americans' democratic rights," Cusack said.  "There would be no natural law without Christianity, and without that, no human rights that exist beyond a government’s power. Christianity sees all people as made in the image of God, so are all valuable, no matter how successful, and puts self-sacrifice above power," she added. Williams has previously used major concert appearances to deliver political messages. During Paramore's performance at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Festival, she urged Americans to vote against Trump, criticizing his political agenda and warning about the country's democratic future. Williams' latest remarks also came as DHS reported an increase in assaults against immigration officers. CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE According to DHS data, the agency recorded 647 assaults against ICE personnel between Jan. 20, 2025, and Sept. 20, 2026, compared with 37 during the corresponding period from Jan. 20, 2021, through Sept. 20, 2022 — a 1,649% increase, according to the agency. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin previously addressed the agency's reported increase in assaults, defending ICE officers carrying out the Trump administration's immigration enforcement operations. "The brave men and women of ICE, who are simply enforcing the laws mandated by Congress and protecting the American people, are under attack every single day," Mullin said. Fox News Digital reached out to DHS concerning Williams' latest comments, but did not immediately receive a response. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acb9fc775342cf4db8edf1a Why verified social media accounts can still lead you into a scam te 2026-10-11T14:40:07.590Z Why verified social media accounts can still lead you into a scam We have all developed little shortcuts for deciding whether something online looks legitimate. You check the account name. You recognize the company logo. Then you spot that verification badge and your guard comes down a little. That can be exactly what scammers are counting on. Microsoft’s official X account became the latest reminder after attackers gained unauthorized access and used the account in an apparent cryptocurrency pump-and-dump scheme. The account has more than 13 million followers, giving whoever controlled it access to a huge audience and the credibility that comes with Microsoft’s name. Here is what happened, why compromised verified accounts can be so convincing and what you should check before trusting the next surprising post that shows up in your feed.

See the classes and register at CyberGuyLive.com 6 CRYPTO SCAM SCRIPTS CRIMINALS USE TO STEAL YOUR MONEY BleepingComputer reported that Microsoft's @Microsoft account followed and reposted content from another X account that appeared to be Clippy-themed. That account was promoting a cryptocurrency called $Clippy. Microsoft tells CyberGuy that two unauthorized posts appeared during the period when its account was compromised. According to the company, the first was a quote repost of content from what appeared to be a Clippy-themed account and referenced bringing back Microsoft Office's old animated paperclip character. The second appeared to be an apology related to the earlier activity. Microsoft says neither post originated from the company. A Microsoft spokesperson provided CyberGuy with the following statement: "We have confirmed unauthorized access to our account on X, including posts that did not originate from Microsoft. The account has been secured, the unauthorized posts have been removed, and we are continuing to investigate the circumstances." If an account you have never heard of suddenly tells you Microsoft launched a Clippy cryptocurrency, you might keep scrolling. When Microsoft’s actual account appears to amplify that same message, it becomes much easier to hesitate. You may assume someone at the company approved the post. You might click a link because you recognize the account. Someone interested in crypto could move even faster because they are worried about missing an opportunity. That is the advantage attackers get when they compromise a well-known account. They inherit trust that has already been built for them. We recently saw the same basic weakness after hackers hijacked HBO Max’s verified Reddit account. Researchers found that attackers used the compromised account to push 108 malicious ads over roughly 48 hours. Because those ads appeared under a familiar verified account, they had an extra layer of credibility. THOUSANDS OF HACKED SITES TRICK YOU INTO INSTALLING MALWARE This is also not Microsoft’s first encounter with a crypto scam involving one of its X accounts. In June 2024, scammers hijacked Microsoft India’s X account and used it to impersonate Keith Gill, better known online as Roaring Kitty. The attackers then promoted what appeared to be a GameStop cryptocurrency presale. People who followed the link and connected their cryptocurrency wallets risked having their assets stolen through wallet-draining malware. That example shows how quickly a social media takeover can turn into something much more expensive. A post may only be the beginning. The real danger often waits behind the link. One of the clearest examples happened in January 2024 when attackers took over the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s official X account. The compromised account falsely announced that the SEC had approved spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds. According to the Justice Department, Bitcoin jumped by more than $1,000 following the false post. After the SEC regained control and corrected the announcement, Bitcoin fell by more than $2,000. Investigators later determined that attackers gained control through a SIM swap involving the phone number associated with the SEC account. Eric Council Jr. pleaded guilty in February 2025 to conspiracy charges related to the attack and was sentenced in May 2025 to 14 months in prison. That case gives us a good example of how much influence one compromised account can have. An official-looking post can spread quickly before the real organization has time to warn everyone that something has gone wrong. A verification badge can still be useful. It may help confirm that an account belongs to the person, company or organization it claims to represent. What it cannot tell you is whether that same organization still controls the account at the exact moment you are reading a post. Hackers can steal credentials through phishing or take advantage of other account takeover techniques. SIM swapping has also been used to intercept password reset codes and defeat some forms of two-factor authentication. CyberGuy has covered this problem before on X, where hackers have taken over verified accounts and then changed them to impersonate cryptocurrency projects. The account may look established because it is. The person controlling it may have changed. You do not need to assume every surprising post is the work of a hacker. Still, when an account suddenly asks you to spend money or connect something valuable, a few extra checks can save you from a painful mistake. If a company announces a cryptocurrency, giveaway or major investment opportunity on social media, go directly to the company’s website. Look for the same announcement in its newsroom or another official channel. If the only place you can find it is one social media post, wait before acting. If an account that normally talks about software suddenly starts pushing an obscure crypto token, treat that change as a warning sign. Scroll through its recent posts and check whether the promotion fits anything the company has announced elsewhere. Connecting a cryptocurrency wallet can expose you to malicious approvals that allow attackers to move assets. Navigate directly to a service you already trust instead. Never enter your recovery phrase or private key into a site because a social media post tells you to. Strong antivirus software can help warn you about phishing sites, malicious downloads and other threats that may be waiting behind a suspicious link. Security software adds another layer of protection, but it should never replace slowing down and checking where a link came from. Get my picks for the best 2026 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android & iOS devices at Cyberguy.com Scammers love deadlines. You may be told a token is launching right now or that an offer disappears in a few minutes. That pressure is designed to get you moving before you verify what you are seeing. Give yourself time to check another source. Even when the post comes from a legitimate account, the link inside it may lead somewhere dangerous. Look carefully at the web address before entering a password, payment information or crypto credentials. Small changes in a domain name can lead you to an entirely different site. Use a unique password for important accounts and turn on two-factor authentication (2FA). A password manager can help you create and store strong, unique passwords so you are less likely to reuse them across accounts. An authenticator app or passkey can provide stronger protection than relying only on texted security codes. Also check your account’s active sessions periodically and sign out any devices you do not recognize. What you should do next depends on how far you got before realizing something looked suspicious. The Microsoft attack is a good reminder of how quickly the signals we rely on can turn against us. We tell people to check the account name, look for the real profile and be cautious with impersonators. In this case, attackers briefly had control of the account people were supposed to trust. I would still use verification as one clue, but I would never let a checkmark do the thinking for me when money, passwords or a crypto wallet are involved. If a company suddenly posts something that feels out of character, verify it somewhere else before you act. Go to the company’s website, check another official channel and give yourself a minute before clicking. That extra pause can be the difference between spotting a scam and paying for one. Would you still trust a financial announcement because it came directly from a verified company account, or do attacks like this make the checkmark almost meaningless to you?

He found 934 ancient Roman silver coins — and an expert says the nearly 2,000-year-old treasure and "huge hoard" may have been someone's life savings. The coins, found near Wesseling, south of Cologne, were uncovered by Oliver Riedl, according to The Associated Press (AP). Though the hoard was discovered last year, officials only recently announced the find, calling it the largest coin hoard from the reign of Roman Emperor Hadrian ever found in Germany. PUZZLING SOUND IN BACKYARD LEADS HOMEOWNER TO MASSIVE 1,000-YEAR-OLD TREASURE A licensed metal detectorist, Riedl immediately alerted archaeological authorities after realizing more coins were buried beneath the surface. The hobbyist told the AP he suspected there were more coins beneath the surface after his metal detector continued picking up signals. "It was clear to me there was something bigger buried here," he said. Pictures show the ancient Roman silver denarii after they were carefully cleaned, some bearing portraits and inscriptions. ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNCOVER MASSIVE ANCIENT SITE DURING RAIL PROJECT, INCLUDING RARE ROMAN FIND The coins were likely buried intentionally between 125 and 150 A.D., according to the LVR Office for the Preservation of Archaeological Monuments in the Rhineland. The staggering hoard weighs 6.8 pounds and is currently on display at the LVR-LandesMuseum Bonn. The most striking aspect of the hoard was its unusual size, said Johannes Wienand, a professor of ancient history at the Technical University of Braunschweig in Germany. Wienand was not involved in the discovery or its research but told Fox News Digital the hoard is "a huge treasure." POLICE OFFICERS SPOT STRANGE OBJECTS UNDERWATER, THEN MAKE REMARKABLE ANCIENT DISCOVERY "It's certainly the largest Roman coin hoard of that sort from Hadrian's time," he said. "It's a time capsule of the money the people in that period actually used day by day." A Roman legionary would have earned a gross salary of around 300 denarii per year, Wienand said, meaning the hoard was roughly equivalent to three years of a soldier's gross salary. "A Roman soldier would need six, seven, eight, even more years to save this amount of money, maybe for his retirement," he said. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER The coins were discovered in a rural area near the Rhine frontier, which marked a border of the Roman Empire at the time, he noted. The Roman city of Cologne and a legionary fortress in Bonn were also nearby — raising the possibility of a military connection. While a military connection is possible, Wienand said the identity of the hoard's owner remains unknown. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE NEWS "It seems to have been the life savings of one person who put this treasure together and put it in a pot, buried it in the soil to save it for later," Wienand said. "And obviously the owner was never able to recover this treasure." Above all, Wienand said the discovery highlights the importance of responsible metal detecting and reporting archaeological finds. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ "It's actually a story of how to do things right," he said. "The metal detectorist was licensed. He had permission to look for finds like that. He immediately called the heritage officers." Wienand added, "He reported the find, and he contributed to an orderly exploration of this remarkable find." "These coins and this hoard [are] now part of our cultural heritage. And I think that's a very good outcome of this story." The Associated Press contributed reporting.

Minnesota GOP Chair Alex Plechash blasted the demonstrators in a statement after Friday night's Lincoln Reagan Dinner in Eagan, where protesters held a sign reading "RepubliKKKan Party" during remarks by House Speaker and Republican gubernatorial candidate Lisa Demuth. "Last night, radical protesters stormed the stage at our Lincoln Reagan Dinner and held up a KKK symbol while Speaker Lisa Demuth spoke," Plechash said in a statement posted to X by the Republican Party of Minnesota. DAVID MARCUS: MINNESOTA GOP CANDIDATES KEEP TRUMP AT ARM'S LENGTH AS THEY EYE A POST-TRUMP PARTY FUTURE "Let's be clear about what happened. Left leaning protesters aimed a symbol of racial terror at a Black woman leader, at a dinner named for the president who ended slavery," he continued. Sunrise Movement Twin Cities, a progressive activist organization, claimed responsibility for the disruption and said the demonstration was intended to protest Republican policies it believes harm immigrants and marginalized communities, according to local news station KTSP. "We disrupted this fundraiser because we refuse to give a moment's peace to the people bankrolling racial violence," the group said in a statement cited by the outlet. The organization also said it was not affiliated with Minnesota's Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL). Video of the incident shows demonstrators moving toward the front of the room holding signs, including one with the letters "KKK" highlighted in red, according to outlet. One protester could be heard shouting, "You love Trump and you will not stand up for Minnesotans," as Demuth stood on stage holding a microphone. As security escorted the demonstrators away, attendees began chanting, "Lisa," followed by chants of, "USA." Plechash told the outlet that protesters gained access to the dinner by purchasing tickets and passing through security checkpoints.

The chairman said the event experienced two disruptions, the first during remarks by Republican U.S. Senate candidate Michele Tafoya and the second while Demuth was speaking. Plechash said roughly three or four protesters pushed toward the front of the room carrying banners during Demuth's remarks. He estimated the disruption lasted about 30 seconds and said he did not believe the demonstrators posed a physical threat. Plechash said in his X post that Eagan police issued trespass orders and that potential charges remained under investigation. The GOP chairman also called out Minnesota Democrats, specifically naming the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan. "Intimidation, criminal behavior, and racist rhetoric have no place in Minnesota politics," Plechash wrote. "Republicans debate ideas, and we'd welcome the DFL to show up and do the same," he added. "Every hour they stay silent says something. Their silence is deafening." Demuth, who won Minnesota's Republican gubernatorial primary in August, will face off against Klobuchar, the Democratic nominee, in November's election to succeed Gov. Tim Walz.

She responded to remind everyone that she still has it. She and the streets have an agreement with one another after all. An agreement to never forget one another. It's her unapologetic approach that hasn’t been, and I think I speak for everyone when I say, hopefully she won't ever be forgotten.

May she keep her promise to the streets as the streets keep its promise to her. It was a week to forget for many teams in the Top 25. Which means it was a decent week for me. The unranked upsets of the ranked is all I have this year. While Penn State hung in their at home against No. 19 USC, the Nittany Lions lost their third straight game on Saturday. Their season, which was already over, is heading into complete disaster territory quickly. But here is where I found my joy. Both the No. 25 ranked team and the No. 1 ranked team lost their games this weekend. This kind of misery warms my heart. No. 25 Pittsburgh was handed its first loss of the season to unranked UNC at home. Yes, the Bill Belichick-led Tar Heels went on the road and won the game against a ranked opponent 21-17. That's just the beginning of the fun. No. 16 Florida lost for the second week in a row. This one was at home to unranked South Carolina and, like their loss last week, this one wasn’t close either. The Gamecocks won 38-19. KENTUCKY COACH WILL STEIN TELLS WILDCATS PLAYERS 'IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN WHAT WE'RE DOING, YOU ARE HIGH' You really hate to see that. As much as you hate to see another team that now has their second loss of the season, No. 13 Oregon, lose at home to No. 21 UCLA, 17-15. So far so good, but the losses somehow get even better. I don’t know what we've done right, but we were gifted not one, but two Top 10 teams losing to unranked opponents. And they're two teams sickos really enjoy watching lose too. No. 10 LSU was taken to overtime on the road by unranked Kentucky and were handed their second loss of the season, 35-34. But nothing tops No. 1 Texas, so close to being back they can almost taste it, losing the Red River Shootout. Their first loss of the season came at the hands of unranked rival Oklahoma and two costly interceptions by Arch Manning contributed to the Longhorns' 27-24 defeat. Man, you really hate to see that.

Texas A&M began the season ranked eighth in the nation with aspirations of making the College Football Playoff for the second consecutive season. After going 11-1 in 2025 and returning senior quarterback Marcel Reed to one of the highest-paid NIL rosters in the sport, momentum for the Aggies to make noise in 2026 was legitimate. Before even making it to the midway point of October, that noise no longer exists, and that reality has understandably sunk in for one of the largest and most passionate fan bases in college sports. Elko, however, doesn't seem too concerned about his team's fan base, or at least a certain section of it. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE During his postgame press conference on Saturday following Texas A&M's three-score loss to Missouri, Elko was asked what he would say to the team's fans who are losing faith in the team. Instead of delivering a short and sweet, coach-speak-filled answer, Elko opted to alienate one portion of the fan base that just so happens to be the most passionate and most influential fans in all of Aggie land. "There's a difference to me between the fan base and social media. So there's one group that I really don't care much about. Billy's cesspool can go be Billy's cesspool," Elko explained. "Our fan base, stay with us, be behind us. We're going to build something that we told you we were going to build. So we're in a really bad spot right now, but we'll work our way out of it." THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! The "Billy's cesspool" that Elko is referring to is the TexAgs website, which is operated by executive editor Billy Liucci, who has been covering the Aggies since before the turn of the 21st century. TexAgs is unequivocally one of the most-followed and well-known online communities and message boards in all of college football, with over 350,000 followers across X and Facebook alone, on top of thousands more paid subscribers to the website. Anyone who knows anything about Texas A&M athletics knows about TexAgs, its content, and its community; therefore, Elko taking aim at those hundreds of thousands of fans is a head-scratching decision, to put it mildly. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER The fact that Elko, minutes after his team fell to 3-3 and had its season virtually ended, had "Billy's cesspool" isn't exactly going to ease tension in College Station or within his program.

Crimson Tide quarterback Keelon Russell targeted wide receiver Rico Scott near the end zone late in the fourth quarter. Bulldogs safety KJ Bolden blew up the play and appeared to have tackled Scott as the ball was coming toward him. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer was searching for a pass interference penalty, which would have given the Crimson Tide a first down and moved them into field-goal range. Instead, the SEC officiating crew declined to throw the laundry on the field. On the next play, Bolden sacked Russell and thwarted the Crimson Tide’s chances of kicking a game-tying field goal. The Crimson Tide punted. Lee committed the foul against a Georgia. And Alabama took its first loss of the season. "We can’t put the game in that situation where the officials come into play," DeBoer said. College football fans were a little perplexed as to why the flag wasn’t thrown.

"Happy Italian Heritage Month, New York. Here’s continuing to fight for Vito Marcantonio’s vision of a government that works for all working people," Mamdani wrote on X. Marcantonio represented East Harlem in Congress for seven terms, first as a Republican and later as a member of the left-wing American Labor Party.

She said her father fought in World War II against Italian forces under Benito Mussolini, while her mother raised five children on her own and worked in a button factory. "We wanted to become Americans, and our people were proud to learn the language and wave the American flag," she wrote. "That’s what being an Italian-American in New York means," Paladino added.

The U.S. TV and film industry has been hemorrhaging work for years as production companies and movie studios flee to places like Europe and Canada for friendlier tax regimes and other attractive financial policies. It prompted President Donald Trump to publicly call on Congress to pass legislation aimed at incentivizing entertainment studios to bring their production back home — and an unlikely alliance of lawmakers is heeding the call. A new bill that could potentially end up in a bipartisan tax package at the end of this year would push film and TV studios to bring their productions back to the U.S. via new tax incentives, with extra support if they choose to bring development to rural communities. TRUMP CALLS HOLLYWOOD A 'TOTAL DISASTER,' PUSHES FEDERAL TAX INCENTIVE FOR FILM AFTER MEETING WITH JON VOIGHT "Since I was a child, I was moved and inspired by the stories of America's greatness, by living out the American dream, and by the notion that I could do and achieve anything in this world, if I set my mind to it, and most of that was driven by a whole lot of American-made movies," Rep. Nathaniel Moran, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital. "I want this next generation to be inspired the same way, and I do not want American storytelling to go overseas, to be diluted by values from overseas." Moran's East Texas congressional district is largely rural and a far cry from the Sunset Strip that was home to much of America's filmmaking history. PELOSI, OMAR JOIN TRUMP AND SCHIFF AS UNLIKELY ALLIANCE PUSHES TO ONSHORE KEY INDUSTRY He's one of the House lawmakers leading the Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act, a bill aimed at bringing film and TV jobs back to the U.S. by creating a federal tax credit for domestic productions. It would further incentivize studios to film in rural areas with added financial benefits in areas deemed to be federal opportunity zones. "This bill is extremely important to send a message that American storytelling does not just happen in California or New York. It happens all over America, including rural America," Moran said. The bill is notably led in the Senate by Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., a top Trump foe, and Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., one of the president's biggest supporters in the chamber. Moran's House colleagues who are helping to spearhead the bill include Reps. Mike Carey, R-Ohio, Brian Jack, R-Ga., Linda Sanchez, D-Calif., and Tom Suozzi, D-N.Y. 'AMERICAN IDOL' DITCHES HOLLYWOOD FOR GEORGIA AFTER TWO DECADES AS CALIFORNIA LOSES ANOTHER PRODUCTION Suozzi told Fox News Digital that his home state was "watching good-paying jobs and production move overseas," adding, "We can't let that happen." "Democrats and Republicans agree we need to keep these jobs here," Suozzi said. FILM PRODUCER SAYS 'MADE IN AMERICA' MOVIES CAN HELP REVIVE HOLLYWOOD'S STRUGGLING INDUSTRY But some, particularly on the right, might bristle at the prospect of awarding more lenient tax policies to an industry they perceive as having a longtime liberal bias — something Moran pushed back on. Moran said his state, for example, was home to "conservative," "faith-based," and "patriotic" entertainment production that was also creating jobs and stimulating local economies. "So I would say to those that are challenging this, I would say, well, do you want to see the stories and the movies and the TV productions that we watch go overseas, and be influenced by the culture and the values of other countries, somewhere else that do not love freedom like we do in America?" he posed. But the end of this congressional term is fast approaching, and getting anything passed after the November election will be an uphill battle. "I feel confident that there will be some kind of bipartisan tax package during the lame-duck session, and my hope would be that this, or a version of this bill, makes it into the final text," Moran said.

The Canadian-born, South African-raised model made history in 2022 as the oldest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model at 74. Martha Stewart later broke the record at 81 in 2023. Now, Musk is looking back at the milestone and her journey from a single mother of three to a sought-after model in her new book, "Timeless." "At my age, you have wrinkles and cellulite on your arms and on your thighs, so I prefer to wear long sleeves," the mother of tech mogul Elon Musk told Fox News Digital. "So, the idea of wearing a swimsuit was very uncomfortable. But then my daughter called me. I told her they were going to be shooting in Belize. She instantly said, 'You've got to go. Belize is beautiful.' So, I did. I took a chance." MAYE MUSK DEFENDS SYDNEY SWEENEY'S NUDE SPORTS AD AND RECALLS 12-YEAR PATH TO CITIZENSHIP In the book, Musk wrote, "I was still 73. My skin showed the signs of my weight having cycled up and down so many times in my life, including for each of my pregnancies. I'm wrinkly and I have cellulite. Swimsuit model?" Despite her worries, Musk said she felt at ease when she began posing for photographer Yu Tsai. She even wore colorful two-pieces for the occasion. Fox News may be compensated for or earn a commission if you buy through our referral links. "It was very unusual," she said with a laugh. "I've been told all of my life that I'm not a swimsuit model. When you think of swimsuit models, you think of the Victoria's Secret models. Those are really special body shapes. So it was a challenge for me. But as I say, you have to take a chance in life. And I knew they're not going to publish ugly photos. At one point, I felt so at ease that I even started dancing with the local people. I was in awe of exploring a new country, a new culture. That's what I love doing. And I got to celebrate me." WATCH: MAYE MUSK DISCUSSES RAISING ELON MUSK, ESCAPING TOXIC MARRIAGE IN NEW MEMOIR ‘TIMELESS’ Looking back, Musk said she wonders why she was so nervous. "When women go to the beach, they wrap a towel around themselves," she said. "But men, they could be obese, and they're still strutting in Speedos with such confidence. We really have to make a change. And if any man insults your body, well, they can get lost. There's always going to be somebody who feels the need to trash on you. It's not fair. But it's all about embracing who you are and not apologizing for that." Musk didn't undergo a makeover to appear younger for the cover. Her signature silver hair remained untouched. "Why do I need to color my hair?" Musk said. "You have to do the roots every four weeks, and I used to do them myself. Your hair then becomes very brittle because it's so damaged. And it grows out. And then I decided to cut my hair short. Soon after, I had four billboards in Times Square. I didn't feel like a granny. I felt fashionable." It wasn't the first time Musk took a chance on a modeling gig. In her book, Musk describes a phone call she received from her agent: "Tomorrow, you pose naked for the cover of TIME magazine. You're the only model they want and they won't budge."  Musk had never done a nude shoot because, as she wrote, "nobody had ever asked." GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE Before stripping down, Musk sought advice from her children. "I picked up the phone to dial Elon first, then stopped myself," Musk wrote. "I already knew what he would say: 'Absolutely not.' He was not the kind of son who wanted his mother naked on magazine covers. Not prudish, but definitely more conservative when it came to nudity. So I called Tosca. I wasn't too surprised to find that she was not in love with the idea, either. 'You never do naked!' she said. Her instinct was protective, not wanting me to risk an uncomfortable experience." "Finally, I called Kimbal," she wrote. "Of my three children, he is the most relaxed and free-spirited. (He met his current wife at Burning Man.) He had a completely different perspective. ‘It’s TIME magazine. It’s journalism,’ he said. ‘Not some nudie magazine. It’ll be tasteful. You have nothing to worry about. Do it.’" Musk told Fox News Digital it was important for her to get her children's approval before posing nude. "Well, would you want your mother naked on the front cover of a magazine?" she said.  "But it was Kimbal who encouraged me. He said it would be tasteful. He's always been a free spirit. And I trust him. When I arrived for the photoshoot, they were very careful with me. You have a makeup artist who has to go through your whole body. Then they did my hair and very plain makeup. Then they sat me with a mirror in front of me, so I could see exactly what the photographer sees." "The photographer came in for the shoot, and maybe five minutes later, it was over," she said. "It was really quick and very respectful. They immediately brought a robe for me. I got changed and went home. That's all there was to it." LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

The longtime dietitian also believes that taking care of your health plays an important role in feeling your best at any age. "It gets harder to lose weight as you get older," Musk said. "With my patients, I always tell them to plan ahead. If you get hungry, there's no salad next to you. There's a donut. Also, only eat when you're hungry. And when you are hungry, make sure there is healthy food around, no desserts or chocolates. And if my patient didn't take the journey seriously, I would tell them, 'You can't come anymore.'" "Even 10 pounds can make you feel uncomfortable," she said. "Everything is tight and you don't have confidence. You have to track your food intake. If a patient goes off what I recommended, they need to explain why. You need to hold yourself accountable if you want to make smarter choices for your health." Musk said each decade of her life has been better than the last. At 78, she's happily embracing aging and hopes other women will do the same.

When she was nearing 90, her hands weren't strong enough to do the wood carvings she loved. So, by 94, she started doing computer art. My older sister taught her. She died at 98. But she always remained curious and busy. She was always exploring." "You're never too old to start again," Musk said. "And don't worry about the wrinkles. A man doesn't care if he gets wrinkles. He still has his confidence. When you get insecure, you become less attractive. I didn't do anything to my face because I wanted to frown and have expression. But also, don't mix with people who make you feel insecure. They're not your friends. And there will be people who will push you down. You can't stay down. You just have to get up and show your talents, who you are." Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acb8d0775342cf4db8edc62 A child's question at a funeral reminded us death does not get the last word te 2026-10-11T13:20:07.562Z A child's question at a funeral reminded us death does not get the last word The question came unexpectedly from my five-year-old grandson. My late mom’s pastor had gathered our family to explain how her funeral service would go and asked if we had any final questions before we processed into the church. Raising his hand, my grandson inquired, "Will we see Momma Bettie again?" DOLLY PARTON'S PATH FROM NASHVILLE NEWCOMER TO BILLBOARD'S NO. 1 COUNTRY MUSIC ARTIST OF ALL TIME The poignancy of his request brought tears to the eyes of almost everyone in the room. As I pondered seeing my mom again in heaven, my grandson’s query brought to mind C. S. Lewis’s famous sermon, "The Weight of Glory." Given at Oxford in 1941, Lewis posed the thought-provoking statement, "There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal." This Christian belief — that we are both image-bearers of God and have eternal existence — was the basis from which Lewis preached. And for followers of Jesus — he provided an eternal perspective — not only that our life has purpose and a higher calling, but how we should truly love those around us. As Lewis concluded his sermon, "Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbour is the holiest object presented to your senses. If he is your Christian neighbour he is holy in almost the same way, for in him also Christ vere latitat — the glorifier and the glorified, Glory Himself, is truly hidden." This conviction informed my mom as well. For she believed the Gospel changed everything. Spending time with her during the last week of her life in hospice was both deeply sad and amazingly redemptive and beautiful. It was such a blessing to witness her saying goodbye to family and friends — as she reflected on her life, gave advice, and let the light of Christ shine forth from her as she faced death with no fear. When I asked my children to reflect on a favorite memory of my mom, they reminisced about spending time in her home — including watching movies she selected for our evening entertainment. From To Kill a Mockingbird to Anne of Green Gables to an obscure black-and-white classic, we never knew what she'd planned for us to view together. One of the most memorable films we enjoyed was Coat of Many Colors — the story of a young Dolly Parton and her family growing up in poverty in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. In fact, 13 million viewers watched the premiere on December 10, 2015 —prompting NBC to re-air the film on Christmas night that year we visited. The film was powerful not only because it showed the real pain and trials of Dolly and her family, but also because it showed redemption and reconciliation. Reflecting on Dolly's recent passing, I thought these themes, in many ways, captured my mom's heart and approach to life as a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend. Growing up in humble surroundings, she too looked for redemptive elements in life — whether it was family, church, community, literature, art, film, or music Along these lines, she kept an old Baptist Hymnal that she found at a garage sale with her Bible. As I was preparing for her eulogy, I found an inscription she wrote at the front: "There is great strength in these hymns. The words come to me even in my sleep. I love to wake up with a song already playing in my soul. The songs are planted in my heart through years of singing them." Flipping through the hymnal, I discovered that she had hearted the song "I Need Thee Every Hour." I now understood why, in her final days in hospice, when she barely opened her eyes, she started singing with me when I read the song "Lord I Need You, Oh I need you, Every hour I need you" from the timely Worship Initiative devotional that aired that week. It was a beautiful, powerful moment that demonstrated these songs sown in her spirit—and the hope and comfort they brought to her as she faced death. As a matter of fact, the last week in hospice showed me not only her deep love of the Lord, her family and friends, but also a heart for reconciliation. As I read through Gone From My Sight: The Dying Experience that week — provided by many hospice facilities around the country to walk through this process — I learned how "unfinished business" can be a big factor "in determining how much resistance we put into meeting death." Due to a challenging family situation, she had not seen two of her grandchildren since my father’s funeral eight years earlier. Nevertheless, when they heard about my mom’s condition, they arrived just in time to say their goodbyes. Knowing she had prayed to see them again and be reconciled, I was so thankful for the sweet time she had with both, leading her to tell my nephew that she could now die. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION It would be the last conversation she had before passing two days later. In regard to my grandson’s question the afternoon of my mom’s funeral, the pastor responded beautifully, explaining that we would one day see her again — not in the feeble, frail state she had left the world — but as St. Paul described to the Church of Corinth, in her heavenly body. For "in Christ all shall be made alive…[and] raised in glory," (I Corinthians 15). A great comfort as we ponder the weight of eternity.

Over time, chronic inflammation can contribute to rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, inflammatory bowel disease and cardiovascular disease. Keeping the condition in check can help protect healthy tissues and support overall health, experts say. POPULAR WEIGHT-LOSS DRUGS MAY HELP PROTECT AGAINST A DEADLY DISEASE, DOCTOR SAYS Jim LaValle, a clinical pharmacist and metabolic medicine expert based in Texas, told Fox News Digital that inflammation can be influenced by a variety of factors beyond injury or infection. LaValle first pointed to the gut-immune-brain connection — the communication between gut microbes, the immune system and the central nervous system — as one pathway that can influence the body's inflammatory response. Beyond gut health, he said several everyday lifestyle factors can play a role in preventing chronic inflammation. DOCTORS SAY 8 FORGOTTEN HABITS COULD HELP FIGHT STRESS, OBESITY AND CHRONIC DISEASE Managing stress and anxiety can help support the gut-brain connection and keep inflammation in check, according to LaValle. He pointed to cortisol, a hormone released in response to stress, which he said can "wreak havoc on your chemistry" when levels remain elevated. Chronic stress can also affect the intestinal barrier, potentially allowing substances that would normally remain inside the gut to pass through more easily, LaValle said. This increased intestinal permeability is sometimes called "leaky gut." ZERO SUGAR, MORE PROBLEMS? STUDY REVEALS SURPRISING GUT HEALTH EFFECTS "So, it turns out that if I'm stressed out a lot, I can be more prone to irritable bowel," LaValle said, as stress can trigger or worsen digestive symptoms in some people. Diets high in sugar, fat and ultraprocessed foods can also affect gut health. Paying attention to which foods trigger certain symptoms may help identify potential food sensitivities or intolerances, LaValle noted. Symptoms such as bloating, rashes or discomfort after eating certain foods may signal a food-related reaction, although they can have other causes. Certain medications, including antibiotics, may also alter the gut microbiome, but their effects vary depending on the drug and the individual, the expert said. Maintaining healthy blood sugar levels is another important factor in managing inflammation, according to LaValle. LaValle noted that conditions such as diabetes and insulin resistance are often associated with chronic inflammation. CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES Research suggests that GLP-1 medications, commonly prescribed for type 2 diabetes and obesity, may have anti-inflammatory effects, while scientists are investigating other potential benefits beyond weight loss and blood sugar control. The "exposome," or the environmental exposures people experience throughout their lives, can influence inflammation and the risk of chronic disease, according to the National Institutes of Health. LaValle pointed to emerging research on how environmental exposures — including "forever chemicals," microplastics, metals and pesticides — may affect weight, blood sugar regulation and other aspects of health. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER "A lot of us don't think about that kind of impact on our health and how that could trigger inflammation signaling," he added. Regular exercise supports overall health, but intense workouts without adequate recovery time can put additional stress on the body, LaValle cautioned. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ "You’re not getting a good enough recovery," he said. "You’re training hard. And, in fact, you might be training hard every day to lower that cortisol, but you're not getting good recovery. And that could lead to silent inflammatory signaling as well." Anyone who is concerned about chronic inflammation or is experiencing persistent symptoms should consult a doctor to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

It was no different on Saturday night as six men competed to grab the briefcase and earn a world title opportunity at any time. Bron Breakker, Je’Von Evans, Penta, CM Punk, Kevin Owens and Trick Williams each gave it their all to win and possibly start a journey to holding gold. If there were live odds on the match, Breakker might have been at -30,000 because of his performance. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK PRO WRESTLING COVERAGE Breakker delivered a devastating spear to Evans, leveling him into the barricade. WWE officials crowded around Evans as it appeared the "Young OG" was seriously injured. He was placed on a stretcher, carried to the back and placed into an ambulance. It appeared Evans’ night was over before it could even really begin. The "Unpredictable Bad A—" had momentum on his side. He would tactically take out his opponents one by one, starting with Trick Williams and Penta. As Punk and Owens focused on each other as they have been for weeks on "SmackDown," they took their attention away from Breakker. He targeted Punk and Owens next. He ran as hard as he could and speared both competitors through the barricade near the announce table. As he tried to get back to his feet, an ambulance began to drive down the entrance ramp. Evans was back! Evans took out Breakker and took care of his other opponents. It looked like Evans was about to make history as the youngest men’s Money in the Bank winner in history.

The Luchador turned up the heat on Breakker. He wedged a small ladder in between the turnbuckle. As he and Breakker fought toward the top of it, Penta hit a nasty Mexican Destroyer on Breakker, catapulting him to the ground. Penta climbed the ladder and won the Money in the Bank ladder match for the first time in his career. Penta can now target Roman Reigns or Sami Zayn for their world titles.

No one was about to help Stephanie Vaquer retain the Women’s World Championship and no one was going to help Becky Lynch or Liv Morgan put gold back around their waists. Those words were evident throughout the match. Even as it seemed as though Vaquer and Lynch did their best to keep Morgan at bay and essentially make the match one-on-one, the two WWE superstars immediately cast that aside and went blow-for-blow throughout the match.

You get matchups that just stand out because of the history of the teams. The fans get a bit more excited, there is more news coverage, and, in general, the games seem to be better. This week we get the Bears and Packers squaring off – one of the biggest rivalries in all the NFL. The Bears are -3 point favorites at the Packers. If Caleb Williams were playing in the game, I could potentially understand it. However, he is still out for this game. The Bears believe in Tyson Bagent, but I’m not as much of a believer. Chicago wants to run the ball as much as possible and control the clock. That’s how they’ve won the past two games without Williams. The Packers have one of the worst rush defenses in the league. That does mean the Bears should have a major advantage. It isn’t just one running back that Chicago is leaning on, either. Through four games, they have run the ball 159 times, with about 130 of those handoffs going to Kyle Monangai and D’Andre Swift. Both have three touchdowns, and both have over 300 yards. It is almost like coach Ben Johnson is trying to recreate what he had with Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery and the Lions. CALEB WILLIAMS AVOIDS MAJOR HAMSTRING INJURY AS MRI REVEALS A STRAIN BUT NO TEAR AFTER VIKINGS GAME SCARE The Packers may be in a rough spot on defense this week considering how poorly they’ve performed against the run this season. They do have something going for them, though. They are at home, they have the better quarterback, and they have revenge after being eliminated from the postseason last year. They have no running game whatsoever, which is certainly an issue. The team is one-dimensional and predictable, which might be a problem.

Abbas issued a decree Friday pushing Palestinian Legislative Council elections from next month to Sept. 11, 2027, according to the official Palestinian news agency WAFA. Presidential elections, which have not been held since Abbas' 2005 victory, are also scheduled for that date. The delay allows Palestinian leaders to remain in power without facing voters and could further damage the credibility of the Palestinian Authority, which has faced criticism over corruption and its security cooperation with Israel. NICARAGUA'S ORTEGA SAYS COUNTRY WILL 'NEVER AGAIN' HOLD ELECTIONS, SHUTTING OUT OPPOSITION The Palestinian Authority, dominated by Abbas' Fatah party, governs parts of the West Bank under agreements reached in the 1990s. Palestinian officials cited conditions in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem as reasons for postponing the vote. The Palestine Liberation Organization's Executive Committee, which Abbas heads, claimed Israel had blocked election materials and international observers from entering Gaza, according to The Associated Press. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar rejected the claim, accusing Abbas of trying to shift blame for the delay. Abbas' "attempt to drag Israel into this, falsely claiming that Israel imposed obstacles to holding elections, is yet another ridiculous lie designed to evade responsibility and accountability," Saar wrote on X. Hamas, meanwhile, welcomed the postponement, calling it "a step in the right direction" and urging further talks on rebuilding Palestinian institutions before holding elections. Palestinians last held legislative elections in 2006, when Hamas won a majority of seats. Israel and Western countries subsequently boycotted the Hamas-led government, fueling unrest that ended with Hamas taking control of Gaza in 2007. IRAN REAFFIRMS SUPPORT FOR HAMAS AS TRUMP PUSHES TO DISARM TERROR GROUP Since then, Hamas has controlled Gaza while Abbas' Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority has governed parts of the West Bank. The postponed election also threatened to bring new challenges to Abbas' leadership. Before the delay, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and a faction led by Mohammed Dahlan, a former Fatah security chief who fell out with Abbas, had been discussing an unlikely political alliance. "Abbas is terrified by the electoral alliance bringing our faction together with opposition factions and forces within Fatah that reject his leadership," Dimitri Dilliani, a spokesperson for Dahlan's faction, said in a statement. The decision comes as the Palestinian Authority's future role in Gaza remains uncertain under a U.S.-brokered ceasefire plan reached last year. The plan calls for the authority to eventually play a role in Gaza, but its immediate responsibilities remain unclear. Hamas continues to govern the territory, while a committee of Palestinian technocrats remains in Cairo awaiting permission to enter Gaza and oversee a transition of power.

Angel Reese’s Atlanta Dream face the Golden State Valkyries in a best-of-seven series beginning Oct. 17, matching a franchise seeking its first championship against an expansion team chasing a title in its second season. Both organizations also bring distinctive cultural identities. Atlanta’s players once campaigned against their own Republican co-owner, supporting Democrat Raphael Warnock. Golden State has embraced LGBTQ outreach through Pride celebrations, drag performances and community partnerships. Those histories offer another layer to a matchup with straightforward basketball questions: Can Golden State prevent Reese from creating second chances, and can Atlanta’s defense generate enough easy baskets to win the championship? CAITLIN CLARK'S LOWEST-RATED PLAYOFF GAME STILL OUTDREW EVERY NON-FEVER FIRST-ROUND BROADCAST These Finals could provide an indication of the WNBA’s current drawing power without Clark, and just how much star power Angel Reese has. Reese brings a substantial following of her own. Her Instagram account had approximately 5.3 million followers as of Oct. 10, which is the most of any WNBA player and more than one million more than Clark. Her visibility extends beyond basketball. She has a signature Reebok shoe and became the first female athlete featured in a national McDonald’s meal collaboration in 2025. Those partnerships have put her name before consumers who may not regularly watch the WNBA. Her first Finals appearance now offers an opportunity to see whether that recognition translates into viewers following her pursuit of a championship, with Clark and the Fever eliminated. There are substantial audiences to measure against. Indiana’s decisive first-round loss to Las Vegas averaged 2.25 million viewers across USA Network and CNBC. Atlanta’s semifinal opener against New York averaged 1.2 million on ABC, according to Sports Media Watch. The games aired on different networks and in different time slots, making them benchmarks rather than a direct measure of either player’s individual appeal. The league has already demonstrated that a Finals without either Clark or Reese can attract a sizable audience. Last year’s Las Vegas–Phoenix championship series averaged 1.5 million viewers across ABC and ESPN, the second-most-watched Finals on ESPN networks behind 2024. This year’s series will air across NBC, USA Network and Peacock, adding another consideration to comparisons with previous championships. One series cannot establish the league’s permanent audience ceiling. But Reese’s championship debut could help show how much of her substantial off-court following—and the broader interest surrounding the WNBA—will follow her onto its biggest stage. Atlanta brings a history of campaigning against a Republican co-owner, while Golden State has established prominent ties to LGBTQ advocacy. The Dream’s political activism drew national attention in 2020, when then-co-owner Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler opposed the WNBA’s embrace of the Black Lives Matter movement. She urged the league to replace planned Black Lives Matter and "Say Her Name" warmup apparel with American flags. "The truth is, we need less — not more politics in sports," Loeffler wrote to then-Commissioner Cathy Engelbert. Dream players and others across the league responded by wearing "Vote Warnock" shirts, supporting Democrat Raphael Warnock in his challenge to Loeffler. Atlanta’s Elizabeth Williams described the effort as voluntary and driven by players. Warnock defeated Loeffler in the January 2021 runoff. AMERICANS CLASH OVER TRANSGENDER ATHLETES AS DEBATE HEATS UP: ‘JUST GETTING OUTRAGEOUS' The following month, the league approved the Dream’s sale to an ownership group comprising Larry Gottesdiener, Suzanne Abair and former Dream guard Renee Montgomery. Montgomery, who had sat out the 2020 season to focus on social justice work, remains a co-owner and vice president. The franchise’s official biography highlights her advocacy for social justice and equality in women’s sports. Those events preceded Reese’s arrival in Atlanta by several years. Golden State, which began playing in 2025, has a shorter organizational history but has made LGBTQ outreach a visible part of its identity. Its second annual Pride Game, against Atlanta on June 26, featured a surrounding celebration with drag performances, Pride merchandise and a halftime lineup featuring Sasha Colby. The franchise also announced participation in four regional Pride celebrations and sponsorship of the San Francisco International LGBTQ+ Film Festival. The Valkyries’ advocacy earned recognition from Equality California and the National Center for LGBTQ Rights, along with a Community Ally Award from the Harvey Milk LGBTQ Democratic Club. After Golden State’s victory over Atlanta that Pride Night, Gabby Williams celebrated toward a camera with the declaration, "For the gays!" Williams and Valkyries coach Natalie Nakase have also publicly supported transgender athletes participating in women’s sports. Before an Aug. 2 game, Nakase said her emphasis on inclusion extended to transgender women. "I’m all about women, little girls deserving to play, and that includes trans women," she said. Williams expressed a similar position during a May 19 media scrum, before clip resurfaced and spread widely in August. "I would welcome a trans athlete on my team or against my team, anytime," Williams told reporters. Former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom subsequently cited Williams’ support as an inspiration for his announced bid to enter the 2027 WNBA draft. During an Aug. 14 interview with former Auburn coach Bruce Pearl, Freedom recalled seeing comments welcoming transgender teammates and opponents and deciding to pursue the opportunity himself. Freedom later confirmed to OutKick that it was Williams' comments that inspired him. "If they don’t have any problem with it, why not just go out there and take my shot?" Freedom said. This championship series will also close a chapter for the WNBA’s leadership. Commissioner Cathy Engelbert announced in September that she will retire at the end of 2026, making Atlanta’s matchup with Golden State the last Finals of her tenure. Her final season began with uncertainty over whether labor negotiations would disrupt the league’s schedule. The eventual agreement delivered substantial raises for players and a seven-year deal running through 2032, giving her successor a foundation for the years ahead. Questions about officiating and player safety continued during the season. In June, Phoenix’s Alyssa Thomas received a one-game suspension after making contact with her fist to Clark’s throat. Officials did not call a foul during the play; the league imposed the punishment after reviewing it. Indiana coach Stephanie White publicly criticized the officiating afterward. Away from the court, league officials and players also confronted online harassment and a widening debate over transgender athletes in women’s sports. An August meeting of the league’s anti-hate task force addressed both subjects. The WNBA said there were no immediate eligibility matters affecting the league and pledged further discussions with teams and the players’ association. Some changes will arrive after Engelbert leaves. A centralized replay center is scheduled to launch in 2027, giving officials access to additional camera angles and assistance reviewing eligible plays. Its introduction will provide an early opportunity for the next commissioner to demonstrate progress on a recurring source of frustration. Expansion will also continue, with Cleveland beginning play in 2028, Detroit in 2029 and Philadelphia in 2030. That means more markets, more roster spots and more pressure to turn growing interest into sustained support. Against that backdrop, these Finals offer a look at the league Engelbert is leaving behind—and the task ahead: building lasting audiences for more teams and players while addressing the disputes that have accompanied the WNBA’s growth. And there will be some actual basketball being played too. Reese reached her first WNBA Finals after averaging 16.4 points and 12.1 rebounds during the regular season and winning Defensive Player of the Year. Golden State’s Kiah Stokes could make those opportunities harder to find. She helped defend A’ja Wilson during the semifinals and collected 14 rebounds in the opener. The battle near the basket will test whether Reese can establish position and create second chances against another experienced rebounder. At the other end, Gabby Williams has taken on a larger scoring role for Golden State. She enters the Finals averaging about 23 points in the playoffs, up from roughly 14 during the regular season. Atlanta must decide how much defensive attention to give her without leaving other Valkyries open. Williams has already shown she will trust those teammates. Late in the second semifinal game against Las Vegas, she passed to Veronica Burton, whose only basket of the night was a decisive 3-pointer. Tiffany Hayes added 21 points off the bench, demonstrating how Golden State can find scoring help beyond its starters. Atlanta has its own player capable of controlling a game without dominating the headlines. Jordin Canada scored 19 points and set up 11 baskets for teammates in the win that clinched the Dream’s Finals berth. Her ability to find Howard and Reese—or attack the basket herself—will be important against Golden State’s league-leading defense. Golden State won all three regular-season meetings with Atlanta. The Dream now bring additional playoff experience through DeWanna Bonner, who arrived late in the season, while Allisha Gray’s recovery from a hand injury remains a major consideration. The central contest is straightforward: Atlanta needs Canada to create good opportunities and Reese to keep possessions alive. Golden State needs Williams to continue leading its offense while Stokes and her teammates prevent the Dream from getting repeated chances at the basket.

El-Sayed's comment came after Portnoy called the Democrat a "terrorist" over a joke about the Wolverines cheating. "Meanwhile, here’s [Portnoy] committing an act of athletic terrorism. Less pizza, more gym, habibi," El-Sayed wrote on X over a clip of Portnoy sprinting on a turf field. EL-SAYED QUESTIONS ETHICS OF FOOTBALL IN RESURFACED AUDIO The exchange followed a clip of El-Sayed, a University of Michigan graduate, joking about his alma mater’s football program. "Is Michigan going to win a game without cheating? I say this as a Wolverine," El-Sayed said in a clip. Portnoy responded, "This guy really is a terrorist." El-Sayed’s Republican opponent, former Rep. Mike Rogers, shared Portnoy’s post and wrote that Portnoy "is exactly right." Asked whether Rogers actually believed El-Sayed was a terrorist, Rogers spokeswoman Alyssa Brouillet told The Detroit News, "Parroting Ohio State talking points is a bridge too far." El-Sayed’s football jab followed Michigan’s sign-stealing scandal. In August 2025, the NCAA announced multimillion-dollar financial penalties, recruiting restrictions and four additional years of probation after finding an impermissible scouting scheme involving former staffer Connor Stalions. In 2024, its football program acknowledged impermissible recruiting contacts during the COVID-19 recruiting dead period, improper tryouts and unauthorized coaching by noncoaching staff. The NCAA separately found that former coach Jim Harbaugh provided false or misleading information to investigators. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Under former coach Rich Rodriguez, Michigan received three years of probation in 2010 and a 130-hour reduction in practice time after violations involving excessive practice and training activities. The school’s basketball program also faced sanctions over improper loans from booster Ed Martin to four players, including Chris Webber, resulting in forfeited victories, scholarship reductions and four years of probation. The social media clash also comes as El-Sayed faces criticism over his responses to questions about Iran’s regime and Islamist organizations. At a September town hall, Iranian-American student Iman Dashti described his family’s alleged mistreatment by Iranian authorities and pressed El-Sayed to condemn the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Islamic Republic. El-Sayed responded by opposing American-led regime change and arguing that Iran’s people should determine their government, drawing criticism for avoiding a direct condemnation.

During an Oct. 5 interview, Fox News host Martha MacCallum repeatedly asked whether he supported terrorist designations for Muslim Brotherhood organizations in Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon. El-Sayed answered that he would support designating organizations engaged in political violence, without explicitly naming the Brotherhood in his responses. Rogers renewed criticism of El-Sayed’s responses concerning terrorist groups during their Oct. 8 debate. El-Sayed also declined to identify Iran or Israel as the greater threat to the United States, saying both had proven dangerous in their own way. El-Sayed has, however, publicly condemned Hamas. During an August appearance on "The Jim Acosta Show," he said, "I think they’re wrong. I think they committed war crimes," while also accusing Israel of war crimes and genocide. El-Sayed has also criticized football’s culture, writing in an October 2021 essay that "toxic masculinity at the heart of America’s most popular sport" ran deeper than the emails that prompted then-Raiders coach Jon Gruden’s resignation. Responding to Gruden’s racist, homophobic and misogynistic messages, El-Sayed recalled experiencing racist taunting in football locker rooms and argued that coaches needed to address the culture behind such behavior.

As a sports betting writer, I try to figure out exactly which game is worth betting on and which one I want to share with you readers. It hasn’t been a great NFL season, but I really like three games on the board in the early slate, so I’m going to share all three plays instead of focusing on just one game. Winning a football game is always a challenge, and winning on the road is even harder. However, when one team is overwhelmingly terrible and the other is good, you put aside where they play and focus more on the game. The Bengals are a vastly superior team to the Miami Dolphins. The Bengals have lost two straight tough games, one to the Steelers and one to the Jaguars. BENGALS' JA'MARR CHASE SUFFERS CONCUSSION AFTER GETTING HIS FACEMASK PULLED AND TAKING HUGE HIT The Dolphins have lost all four games and haven’t scored more than 13 points in a game. They are without their best player, DeVon Achane, and things are going from bad to worse. Joe Burrow is going to exploit a defense that has been decent, but not great. Give me the Bengals -7. They are going to be used in a ton of teasers. Sometimes you need a game to take out all of your frustrations. The Texans are one of the worst teams in football right now with a 0-4 record. There were expectations that this team could be a playoff contender with their defense. Unfortunately, the defense hasn’t played all that well, and the offense hasn’t been much better. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE The Titans are terrible as well, but there wasn’t much hope for them. They’ve been competitive, but they are still a year or two away from winning consistently. In three of their four games, they’ve been within one score for the final. I do think they can stay close with the Texans. Weather might be a bit rough, but I’m taking the over on this game. I really wouldn’t be surprised if the Texans scored 35 or more, and I don’t think they stop everything. This is another leg that will be used in a lot of teasers.

They went from looking like a disaster to having Michael Penix Jr. come back for them and now seeming like one of the better teams in the game. Bijan Robinson has been a fantastic running back and one of the best weapons in the sport. LAMAR JACKSON LEAVES GAME WITH INJURED ANKLE AND WHAT HAPPENED NEXT SHOWS NO ONE FEARS THE TENNESSEE TITANS The Ravens have Derrick Henry, one of the best running backs the league has ever seen. He has been fantastic this season, with seven touchdowns already. Outside of Week 1, the Ravens haven’t been exactly crisp, but they have won three of four games. The Falcons have one of the best rushing defenses in football, so they will need someone, anyone to make some throws for them in order to win. I think this game has gotten too far in the other direction, and I’m taking the Ravens +3 in this one.

"I think that the fact that there’s 29,000 government websites is pretty insane," Coristine told Fox News Digital in a sit-down interview. "And it is the citizens’ objective to have to go figure out which government website they’re supposed to use for each specific thing." Coristine — better known around Washington by his attention-grabbing "Big Balls" nickname — sat down with Fox News Digital at the White House to talk about his new role helping build America.gov, what he learned during his time at DOGE, the administration’s plans to make more government services fully digital, his experience being attacked in Washington, and how the nickname that helped make him famous actually came from his dad. TRUMP UNVEILS AMERICA.GOV AS AI-POWERED HUB FOR PASSPORTS, MEDICARE ENROLLMENT AND MORE Coristine is now working with the National Design Studio on the administration’s revamped America.gov, which launched Sept. 29 as an AI-powered single point of entry for information drawn from thousands of government websites. President Donald Trump singled out Coristine during the launch, identifying him as the project’s lead engineer and thanking him for his work. Coristine said his time at DOGE gave him a firsthand look at the frustration Americans face when trying to navigate federal services and helped shape what he is working on now. "I think we got a lot of feedback that the American government is hard to interact with because you have to navigate the maze of bureaucratic services," Coristine said. The software engineer had already worked in Musk’s orbit before joining DOGE, spending several months at Neuralink, Musk’s brain-computer interface company, before later joining the government efficiency effort at 19. "What I think is really special about America.gov is it presents a single point of entry to find all the information that you need," he added, including finding government services tailored to the user and asking questions with answers sourced from the federal government. TRUMP TO USHER IN ‘GOLDEN AGE’ OF AMERICAN TECH WITH DC BASH SHOWCASING POWERFUL NEW TOOL Coristine pointed to Medicare as one example, saying Americans currently may have to move between Medicare.gov and the Social Security website to enroll in benefits. "Companies, generally speaking, only have one website and everything is easy to find," he said. "We should have the same vision for the government." The ambitions for America.gov also go beyond simply helping users find the right information. Coristine said the administration plans to make first-time passport applications fully digital, expanding beyond the online renewal system already available to eligible Americans. "Specifically with passports, what we’re going to do is we’re gonna make new passports online for the first time ever," Coristine said, describing the existing process as "very manual." TRUMP’S NEW HIGH-TECH GOVERNMENT HUB HOLDS SOME BIZARRE SURPRISES: ‘ENJOY FINDING THEM’ "You have to go in person, you have to get to the post office, you get your photo taken like a CVS or Walgreens," he said. Under the planned system, Coristine said users would be able to take their passport photo at home, preview how it would appear on the document and complete the process "without leaving the America.gov website." Coristine also offered a glimpse into how Trump has talked about the broader project, comparing the president’s approach to digital government with his background in hospitality. "I think the president has been a great host for his entire career. He’s been in the hospitality business, right?" Coristine said. "So any great host knows they have to make things easy, they have to make it all feel clean." ELON MUSK LANDS NEW TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ROLE SHAPING FUTURE OF AMERICAN WARFARE "President Trump is very focused on removing the potholes from the digital government that make it hard to get things done," he added. The role marks the latest chapter in a whirlwind stint in Washington that began at DOGE and quickly thrust the 20-year-old — and his now-famous "Big Balls" nickname — into the national spotlight. Coristine told Fox News Digital the "Big Balls" moniker had a far less dramatic origin than its eventual notoriety might suggest. "I got the nickname Big Balls from my dad," he said, explaining that he eventually made it his LinkedIn URL AND THIS IS WHAT DROVE IT INTO THE NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT, RIGHT? "It was actually, like, fairly underground, but I was discovered," Coristine said. "It’s been very funny ever since." EXCLUSIVE: INSIDE THE SECRETIVE MINE DOGE HELPED DRAG OUT OF A DECADES-OLD BUREAUCRATIC BLACK HOLE Coristine’s profile rose further in August 2025 after he was attacked while walking a female friend back to her car in Washington’s Logan Circle neighborhood, an incident that left him with a broken nose and concussion and drew national attention. Coristine has said he rushed his friend into the car before the group turned on him, slamming him against the vehicle and throwing punches. "I really thank President Trump for making D.C. safe again," Coristine said. "Like all my friends, they’re now able to walk outside." "Everyone is very calmed by the National Guard because it feels like the city is so much safer," he continued. "And the crime numbers totally represent that. The crime has been falling like a knife in D.C." Trump established the Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force in March 2025 before launching an intensified federal crime crackdown in August, with the operation delivering more than 16,000 arrests, 3,200 narcotics arrests and nearly 2,000 illegal firearms seized in its first year. "So I’m unbelievably grateful to the president for making the city safe and beautiful," Coristine said. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acb7ef675342cf4db8eda11 Real-life exorcist reveals eerie encounter, warns Hollywood misses most terrifying part of demonic possession te 2026-10-11T12:20:06.798Z Real-life exorcist reveals eerie encounter, warns Hollywood misses most terrifying part of demonic possession Hollywood has spent decades frightening audiences with spinning heads, levitating bodies and priests shouting down demons. But Catholic exorcist Father Carlos Martins says the most terrifying part of alleged demonic possession isn't what the audience can see. It's what they can't. "The thing that Hollywood doesn't pick up well is the demonic mind," Fr. Martins told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview ahead of Halloween, as the third season of "The Exorcist Files" podcast gets underway. "It picks up [the devil's] demonic power well, throwing of chairs, the screaming, levitating and so on and so forth. But his rage, his inner anger, his disgust with humans and God, that it doesn't get well." FATHER CARLOS MARTINS RECOUNTS CHILLING EXORCISM, CLAIMS WOMAN MOVED OBJECTS WITHOUT TOUCHING THEM Fr. Martins, who co-hosts the podcast with co-creator Ryan Bethea, described what he believes Hollywood misses about the psychological dimension of alleged demonic encounters, including an incident in which he said a person undergoing an exorcism threatened to bomb a flight he was scheduled to take the following day. "Why are you here? You're not supposed to be here. I'm going to bomb your flight tomorrow," Fr. Martins recalled hearing while assisting another exorcist. The priest said he subsequently changed his flight, not because of the threat, but because the session had been so productive that he offered to remain for additional appointments. When he returned the next day, Fr. Martins said, the person appeared surprised by his presence. CAN FAITH HELP PATIENTS HEAL? VETERAN DOCTOR REVEALS WHAT HE'S WITNESSED FIRSTHAND "You weren't supposed to be here," he recalled the possessed person saying. Fr. Martins interpreted the encounter as evidence of what he believes is the extraordinary but imperfect intelligence of the devil and demonic beings. He said the apparent knowledge of his original flight contrasted with the alleged demonic entity's failure to anticipate his changed plans. For Fr. Martins, the encounter was a chilling example of why he believes the most frightening aspect of demonic possession has very little to do with the supernatural spectacles audiences see on-screen. The third season of "The Exorcist Files" launched Oct. 5, with new episodes scheduled to roll out over the next two months. Among the new cases is an especially complicated account involving multiple family members, according Bethea. IOWA CITY COUNCIL MEETING ERUPTS AFTER FORMER MEMBER OPENS WITH SATANIC PRAYER AND 'HAIL SATAN' "There is one particular episode this season that involves so many moving parts and multiple family members being demonized," Bethea told Fox News Digital. The case, he added, "actually spans hundreds of years." Bethea said the story may encourage listeners to examine unresolved trauma, mental health concerns and other personal struggles that he and Fr. Martins believe may contribute to spiritual vulnerability. The podcast, which dramatizes purported exorcism case files, has also challenged Bethea's own understanding of spiritual warfare. After working with Fr. Martins and hearing similar accounts from other exorcists, Bethea said he has become more confident in his Christian faith rather than more fearful of the supernatural. "I have walked away feeling, ironically, less scared and more confident than ever," he said. SACRED PAGES OF 1,000-YEAR-OLD GOSPEL REVEAL ANCIENT DNA SCIENTISTS NEVER EXPECTED Fr. Martins warned that what he considers the greatest danger of demonic influence is not necessarily its physical manifestations, but the intimate knowledge he believes the devil and evil forces possess about their targets. "When you're dealing with the devil, you're dealing with an entity that has observed you your whole life," Fr. Martins said. "He knows your weaknesses. He knows where your soft spots are. He knows what your preferences are." "So he knows exactly where to press and how hard to cause maximal damage," the priest added. Fr. Martins cautioned against attempting to confront demonic forces without spiritual preparation, arguing that human intelligence alone is no match for the adversary he describes as the "ancient serpent." The priest acknowledged that the 1973 horror classic "The Exorcist" remains, in his view, a compelling depiction of what can occur during an exorcism, although he singled out the film's famous head-spinning sequence as physically impossible. He also described witnessing what appeared to be a person's canine teeth growing several inches, an experience he attributed to a supernatural illusion rather than an actual physical transformation. POPE LEO VISITS SITE OF MIRACLE CURES, MEETS PEOPLE WHOSE UNEXPLAINED HEALINGS STUNNED DOCTORS For Fr. Martins, however, the disturbing imagery is secondary to what he described as the hatred and irrationality of the demonic mind. "Because that is the part of him that has no rational explanation," he said. Despite the dramatic subject matter, Fr. Martins said the actual practice of exorcism is considerably less theatrical than its Hollywood portrayal. "I never yell at the devil. I've never heard of an exorcist doing that," Fr. Martins said. He described exorcism as a generally calm process centered on prayer, spiritual reconciliation and helping the individual receiving assistance. "The job of the exorcist is not to cast out the devil," Fr. Martins said. Rather than attempting to overpower an alleged demon through increasingly forceful prayers, Fr. Martins said he seeks to understand why he believes the entity has gained influence over an individual and how that person can return to a state of reconciliation with Christ. The priest also described exorcist training as largely an apprenticeship process, with less experienced priests learning alongside seasoned practitioners before conducting sessions independently. FORMER TV ANCHOR WHO PLEADED GUILTY TO KILLING MOTHER LAST HALLOWEEN GETS LIFE SENTENCE With Halloween approaching, Fr. Martins and Bethea also addressed whether ordinary holiday traditions pose spiritual dangers. Fr. Martins said he does not oppose children dressing up or going trick-or-treating, although he would discourage costumes celebrating evil or demonic imagery. "Would I allow my children to go trick or treating? Yeah, I would," Fr. Martins said. "I would never let them go dressed as something sordid. As something evil, as something devilish or demonic." The priest said he would have no objection to children dressing as ordinary characters or participating in family-friendly Halloween traditions, provided the costumes did not celebrate something he considers contrary to his religious beliefs. Bethea similarly defended activities such as trick-or-treating and harvest festivals, recalling how his mother enthusiastically created Halloween costumes when he was a child. However, he cautioned against practices he associates with occult involvement. MASSIVE 2,000-YEAR-OLD DISCOVERY FROM TIME OF JESUS EMERGES REMARKABLY INTACT The podcast has featured several cases involving Ouija boards, including an account in which a grandmother reportedly gave her grandson a board so they could communicate after her death. Another case involved three children experimenting with a Ouija board, with one allegedly experiencing disturbing consequences, despite not having initiated the activity, according to Bethea. He also identified astrology and tarot cards among practices the hosts discourage, arguing that they can expose people to what he believes are spiritual dangers. "We would say there are plenty of fun, other games that you can play," Bethea said. He jokingly suggested Risk and Monopoly as alternatives, before noting that greed could also be considered a sin. Bethea emphasized that the show's accounts should not be interpreted as a reason to assume every unexplained experience has a supernatural cause, and pointed to psychological assessments and other scrutiny involved in determining whether someone should receive an exorcism. The co-host also acknowledged that he had not seen evidence establishing Halloween as a universally heightened period of supernatural activity, despite hearing such claims from people interviewed for the podcast. For both hosts, the larger message of "The Exorcist Files" is intended to be one of hope over fear. Bethea said producing the series has strengthened his Christian faith, and listeners have contacted the show describing renewed religious commitment after hearing its stories. Fr. Martins likewise said that although his work involves confronting what he believes to be demonic forces, he does not spend his personal life preoccupied with the devil. "You know, the devil has a plan for you. But the good news is, so does God," he said. "Am I afraid of the devil? No, I'm afraid of being separated from Jesus Christ."

The pastors, authors and avid outdoorsmen harvest several deer during hunting season each year, filling their freezers with venison to be eaten. But to the brothers, harvesting their own food represents more than providing meals for their families. It's also intertwined with their Christian faith. 'MEATEATER' HOST SAYS WILD GAME IS 'THE HEALTHIEST FOOD' AMERICANS CAN EAT "We know that God's given us that food to manage and also consume so that we can be what He's created us to be," Chad Hampton told Fox News Digital. The Hamptons, founders of Huntin' the Truth Ministries and hosts of the outdoor show "Twin Factor," point to Genesis 1:26 when explaining their view of hunters as stewards of God's creation. "We're managing God's creation that He gave to us," Chad Hampton said. The connection between faith, food and the outdoors also appears in their new book, "100 Days of Strength for Hunters," a devotional designed to help outdoorsmen strengthen their relationship with God. COWBOY CHEF SAYS AMERICANS ARE TURNING TO ONE OF THE 'HEALTHIEST MEATS,' AND IT'S AT MOST GROCERY STORES The brothers said the book combines Scripture, hunting stories, practical applications and prayer — and is short enough for hunters to take with them into the tree stand. Their approach to food also overlaps with a larger national conversation about eating "real food" and knowing where food comes from, themes that have been promoted by the Make America Healthy Again movement. It's a message that resonates with the Hamptons. "Everything that we harvest we eat," James Hampton said. They also believe many Americans have become disconnected from their food as convenience increasingly shapes what people eat. The Hamptons readily acknowledge they aren't immune to eating fast food, pointing to their busy schedules. "Although we love our fast food, we also love the slow-cooked venison," Chad Hampton said. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER Hunting, however, requires something convenience cannot provide — time. The brothers said they could spend hours in a tree stand pursuing an animal they would ultimately bring home and eat. That process, they believe, carries a responsibility rooted in their faith. They view it as both harvesting food and caring for what they believe God has entrusted to them. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE NEWS That same relationship between hunting and Christianity has guided their ministry for more than two decades. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ James Hampton recalled praying from a tree stand during a difficult period in 2004, while his wife was battling cancer. The experience ultimately helped inspire the brothers' ministry and its mission of teaching others to "hunt for God and His plan for their life." "We have to live what we preach," James Hampton said. "And that is loving God with all our hearts, souls, minds and strengths and seeking Him."

Underdog is offering new users a promo code of FOXNEWS to wager $5 and earn up to $100 in bonus bets.  San Francisco comes into the game as potentially the best team in the NFL. They started the season with an absolutely dominant game over the Los Angeles Rams, instantly putting to bed any talk of the Rams being a super squad. They’ve had three straight home games since then, and none of them have been exactly challenging.  Week 2 saw them beat the Dolphins, a team that might be the worst in the league. Week 3 was a bit of a battle with the Cardinals, but they still won 36-30. Last week they hosted the Denver Broncos, one of the better AFC teams. In that game, they held the Broncos to just 14 points, and they put up 24.  Seattle is 3-1, but they’ve had some shaky performances after winning the Super Bowl last season. In the opening week, they beat the Patriots, but quarterback Sam Darnold got injured early in the game. They still escaped with a 13-10 win, getting a game-sealing interception late off of Drake Maye.  In Week 2, the Seahawks destroyed the Cardinals in Arizona, winning 31-7. Week 3 was a challenge for the Seahawks, losing 33-31 in Washington. Last week, against a desperate Chargers team, they won the game 30-23. The final score looked a bit closer than the game actually was. Seattle was up 30-13 going into the fourth quarter.  The last time these two teams played, Seattle looked invincible, and San Francisco looked like they didn’t even belong on the same field. Seattle jumped out to a lead on the first play and never looked back. That was a playoff game in Seattle last season en route to the Seahawks Super Bowl.  Tonight, the 49ers can get their revenge, or maybe the Seahawks will continue to have San Francisco’s number.

The 49ers drafted quarterback Brock Purdy with the last pick of the NFL Draft. Often called Mr. Irrelevant, Purdy has certainly made himself relevant to the team and around the league.  For the season, Purdy is 79-for-113 with 11 touchdown passes and one interception. He has averaged about 250 passing yards per game this season. With plenty of weapons at his disposal, Purdy has done a great job of getting everyone involved, throwing touchdowns to five different receivers.  On the other side of the field is Sam Darnold, a guy with a very different path than Purdy. Darnold was selected third overall by the Jets in 2018. He struggled for years before he went to the Minnesota Vikings, where his career was rejuvenated. Last year he led the Seahawks to the Super Bowl.  In his past two seasons, he has thrown 60 touchdowns. From 2018 until 2023, he threw a total of 63 touchdowns. This year is off to a decent start, even without the offensive coordinator who seemed to have turned his career around. He has six touchdown passes and 560 yards through three games (really more like two games, after he left the first game after two pass attempts).  This will be a battle between two strong quarterbacks. Purdy and Darnold will be at the forefront of the game tonight. Fanatics Sportsbook is offering new users a chance to wager on either, neither, or both this afternoon as the 49ers take on the Seahawks.

The Black Death caused over 100 million deaths in the 14th century, six centuries before the advent of antibiotics. Compare that to 50 to 100 million deaths from the Spanish flu in 1918 or over 15 million deaths from COVID. On top of severe illness and death, these devastating pandemics have caused worldwide fear and panic. Flash forward six years from the origins of COVID, and once again we learn of a mysterious pneumonia death of a scientist, this time a laboratory worker, Darya Shipilova, who was working in a lab in Siberia that has been studying dangerous pathogens, including the plague. Once again, as with COVID, there are far more questions than answers. Is the pathogen pneumonic plague? The Russians deny it. Has it been bioengineered to make it more resistant to antibiotics and more easily transmissible through the air? The Russian health authorities deny it. Have hundreds of patients been isolated and several hospitals been shut down out of an abundance of caution, as the health authorities there would have you believe, or is this something far worse, as it was during the initial Wuhan lockdown for COVID? Russia is now saying that it is winding down precautionary measures, but why were these extensive measures necessary in the first place? MYSTERY DEATH AT RUSSIAN PLAGUE LAB TRIGGERS SWEEPING PRECAUTIONS AS US WATCHES CLOSELY We may never have the answers to any of these questions, but unfortunately, they not only bring back bad memories of COVID, but they also unmask a continuing lack of a comprehensive global health surveillance network to protect us. The assertions and gesticulations by WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus at press conferences are no more reassuring now than they were back then. US, WHO REQUEST DETAILS FROM RUSSIA AMID REPORTS OF SECOND PNEUMONIA CASE The treatment for these scourges, both ancient and modern, for both fear and the actual disease, as I write in my new book, "The Angels Among Us," is messengers from God to reassure us, treat us, and guide us through, just as Dr. Stephen Kornfeld recently did on the hantavirus ship, the MV Hondius, when another scary disease, the Andes strain of hantavirus, emerged. In fact, fear of an unknown pathogen sparking a global pandemic was the motivation for an international call for a global network of scientists to protect us more than two decades ago. Unfortunately, that so-called network failed miserably with COVID, as China’s smokescreen was famously amplified by the WHO’s declaration in January 2020 that this was only a regional problem.  COVID whistleblower ophthalmologist Li Wenliang, who died in a Wuhan hospital from COVID in February 2020 after a middle-of-the-night visit from the police to shut him down, is buried deep in the public consciousness. So, too, are all our friends and patients who died unceremoniously in the first several months of the pandemic. CAN FAITH HELP PATIENTS HEAL? VETERAN DOCTOR REVEALS WHAT HE'S WITNESSED FIRSTHAND One who didn’t die, as described in "The Angels Among Us," was Evie Rodriguez, who was saved not by medicines but by prayer. She was in the ICU at UC Davis, not responding to steroids or a new antiviral treatment (remdesivir), but rather than be overcome by fear, she turned to prayer and was visited by angels sent to her by her father, Pastor Sam Rodriguez.  This gave her the strength she needed to fight off the angel of death. "I am fully awake, and a dark spirit with an open mouth comes into the room, and I can feel that it has come for me. To take me. It is very heavy and real, a dark force. I feel it is the spirit of death. I am not afraid. I become angry and demand it to leave. ‘What are you doing here?’ I yell. ‘Get away!’ And it goes away. I will it away." CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION The difference between 2020 and 2026 may be that the pathogen now, if it is plague, is potentially not very contagious, antibiotics can treat it, and there is already a vaccine that can be used against it, presuming it hasn’t been altered. So the risk beyond that initial case would appear to be very, very small. But the fear and the global vulnerability remain. Laboratory accidents occur all the time. And we are not prepared for them, especially when it comes to dangerous pathogens from dangerous places. And there is an even more powerful pathogen spreading through our population than disease — fear. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM DR.

For the second straight season, the Brewers and Dodgers meet in the NLCS. Fanatics is offering you a chance to earn $350 in FanCash when wagering $20 on Game 1 between the Dodgers and Brewers.  For the third straight season, the Dodgers have made it to the National League Championship Series. Los Angeles is one of two teams this season to win 100 games; the other one is their opponent. Everyone loves to hate on the Dodgers for going out and getting any player they want, but the goal is to win, and they should spend the money.  Los Angeles has all the pieces to try and win their third straight World Series, but this is a game that features a much more confident Brewers team. Tarik Skubal will take the mound tonight for the Dodgers. He’s one of the best pitchers in baseball and was acquired for this purpose.  The Milwaukee Brewers have expected this series since last season. They were the best team in baseball this season, but they need to upset the team that swept them out of the playoffs last season. The team simply has to get the monkey off their back in order to advance in the postseason.  Another loss this season would be a major blow to how they view this season. The team has all the pieces and has consistently been winning games this year. In the regular season, the Brewers and Dodgers played seven games, with the Brewers winning four of them. They will have Jacob Misiorowski on the mound to battle Skubal.  This is likely to be the best pitching battle in the National League Championship Series, or potentially the entire postseason. New users should take a shot on the first game of this series with Fanatics Sportsbook.

There are plenty of great welcome offers from sportsbooks that want you to join their user list, and you can take advantage of all of them for NFL Week 5. Let’s look at offers from BetMGM, Fanatics, bet365, and FanDuel, and a bet for each of them.  Bet: Under 41.5 (-108) Why: The Jacksonville Jaguars are the second-best defense in the league with a 13.3 points-per-game allowed mark. The Eagles are potentially without Saquon Barkley for this game, but even if he plays, the Jaguars have held opponents to just 74.3 rushing yards allowed. The Eagles are allowing 23.3 points per game and are about average in both passing and rushing yards allowed. The game is also played in London. If this bet loses, BetMGM will refund your bet up to $1,500 in bonus bets if you use promo code FOXNEWS. Bet: Aaron Jones anytime TD (-120) Why: Aaron Jones is the primary running back for the Vikings, carrying the ball 72 times already, or about 60% of the time for the team. He has just one touchdown this season, but the Saints are one of the worst rushing defenses in the league. They’ve allowed nine touchdowns to opposing running backs in four games. Fanatics Sportsbook is offering new users a chance to get $350 in FanCash on a $20 wager using promo code FOXNEWS350.  Bet: Lions -5.5 (-110) Why: You can keep this game simple; the Cardinals are not very good. They were favored on the road last week and lost by 12 to the Giants. The Lions aren’t exactly great themselves, and they’ve lost both of their road games. Detroit hasn’t looked great this season, but they should make it a point to take some frustration out on Arizona who has lost by 24, six, and 12 points. Bet365 is offering new users a chance to get $200 in bonuses off a $10 wager.  Bet: Ravens moneyline (+142) Why: Baltimore comes into the game at 3-1, and legitimately could be 4-0. They’ve shown they can win on the road, having demolished the Colts in the opening week. Their offense looks crisp, and the defense seems to be reliable. The Falcons looked like a disaster in Week 1 and even more so in Week 2. Weeks 3 and 4 saw Michael Penix Jr. return and lead their offense to 80 points. However, this was more a result of the teams they played. This will be an actual challenge for them, and the Ravens look like the better team. FanDuel is giving new users a chance to earn $250 in bonus bets. Bet $5 on the Ravens moneyline, and win or lose, you’ll receive a $50 bonus bet token. Then repeat that process for five days.

BetMGM is offering new users a chance to enjoy up to $1,500 in bonus bets if your first wager loses when you register using promo code FOXNEWS.  The first game of the day is between the Eagles and Jaguars, with kickoff coming at 9:30 ET from London. The Eagles enter the day with a 2-2 record, and the Jaguars are a strong 3-1. Both teams made the postseason last year, but fell short without making any real noise. The injury report for the Eagles makes this one look like it could be Jacksonville early and often.  In the main slate of games today, there are some games that stand out, like the Packers hosting the Bears. Another game worth watching is Las Vegas vs. New England. The Raiders look like one of the best teams in the league in the early going. The Patriots have been good at home, and they are coming off a win over the Bills. The Raiders beat the Patriots to start last season; can they do it again now that they are actually a good team?  In the afternoon set of games, everyone will be focused on the Seahawks facing the 49ers. However, a game worth keeping an eye on is between the Broncos and Chargers. Denver has high hopes for this season, but has struggled on the road. In two road games, they’ve scored 24 points. In their two home games, they’ve scored 50 points.  The Chargers have looked miserable no matter where they play and are 0-4 to begin the year. Something has to change, and it has to happen in a hurry. Perhaps a home game against a rough road team will be the cure. One thing that is certain — if they want to change their season, it has to happen today.  The last game of the schedule is the Sunday Night Football game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Atlanta Falcons. The Ravens are 3-1, and I suppose they could be 4-0. The Saints narrowly beat them, and without that, their record would be perfect. The Falcons started their season with Cooper Rush at quarterback. Once they got Michael Penix Jr. back they’ve won two straight and are now looking for their third game.  Start at 9:30 A.M. ET and for over 12 hours you can watch and wager on football. BetMGM has the means to help you get there with an offer of up to $1,500 in bonuses. Register using promo code FOXNEWS and if your first bet loses, you’ll receive the same amount back in the form of bonus bets.    International Series (London - Tottenham Hotspur Stadium) Early Afternoon Window (1:00 PM ET) Late Afternoon Window (4:05 PM – 4:25 PM ET) Sunday Night Football (Byes: Carolina Panthers, Kansas City Chiefs) Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acb77ed75342cf4db8ed906 NYPD detective gives update on condition after illegal immigrant duo allegedly stabbed him 7 times te 2026-10-11T11:50:05.815Z NYPD detective gives update on condition after illegal immigrant duo allegedly stabbed him 7 times An NYPD detective who was stabbed and slashed seven times during a brazen Bronx robbery has been released from the hospital and is recovering from his injuries. "I’m feeling much better, thank you," Det. Jose Mercedes, a 10-year NYPD veteran assigned to the 44th Precinct, told the New York Post on Saturday. Mercedes, 33, was off duty Oct. 2 and cleaning out the trunk of his car in when two suspects allegedly ambushed him and tried to steal his gold chain, according to the NYPD. ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT SUSPECTS WITH LENGTHY CRIMINAL RECORDS ARRESTED IN STABBING OF OFF-DUTY NYPD DETECTIVE The detective fought back and tried to defend himself before he was stabbed at least seven times in the neck and leg. The suspects allegedly ripped the chain from his neck and fled on a motorized bike, sources and police told the Post. Video obtained by the newspaper showed Mercedes covered in blood as he was loaded into an ambulance after the attack. He was rushed to Jacobi Medical Center and released several days later. Mercedes was greeted Monday evening by dozens of fellow NYPD officers as he left the hospital in a wheelchair, with bagpipes playing and officers applauding. He later stood up, smiled and flashed a thumbs-up to the crowd. EXCLUSIVE: LEGAL GROUP TELLS NYPD COPS THEY CAN CONTACT ICE DIRECTLY DESPITE BLUE CITY'S SANCTUARY RULES Police identified the alleged attackers as D’Angelo Caraballo, 25, and Sneider Mejia, 24. Caraballo was identified as the alleged slasher, while Mejia was accused of driving the bike, according to the NYPD. Both suspects were identified by federal authorities as illegal migrants from the Dominican Republic. They were found hiding in the basement of a home in Lynn, Massachusetts, and taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals Service, the NYPD said Wednesday. The pair were ordered held without bail during a joint appearance in Lynn District Court and are expected to be returned to New York City to face attempted murder charges, according to police.

Repeat the process for ten days to earn $100 in bonus bets.  One game that stands out on today’s schedule is between the Bears and Packers. There are a few big rivalries in the NFL, but almost none have as much history as Chicago and Green Bay. This afternoon, the Bears travel to face the Packers with a 3-1 record, and the Packers are 2-2.  Chicago comes into the game as a favorite on the road, but they have a backup quarterback starting for them this week. Tyson Bagent will make his second straight start. In last week’s game against the Jets, Bagent went 25-for-34 with 268 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception.  The running game continues to be a focal point for the team. The Jets simply had no answer for the two-headed monster that is Kyle Monangai and D’Andre Swift. Monangai alone had 146 yards on 30 carries and two touchdowns. The Packers have the fifth-worst rushing defense in football.  Green Bay hasn’t quite looked like themselves, and that also might have to do with their running game. As a team, they are averaging just 58 rushing yards per game. That’s 16 fewer yards per game than the second-worst team in football, and 138 yards fewer than the Bears are averaging per game.  That leaves pretty much everything to the passing attack. The Packers are 11th in the league with 249.3 yards per game through the air. Unfortunately for them, the Bears are ranked as the third-best pass defense in football. The Packers, for what it is worth, are the fourth-best passing defense in football. Perhaps that means the under is worth a look.

The offer from Betr will be available to use on any Week 5 game, but Bears vs. Packers and Seahawks vs. 49ers look to be two of the best on the board. The Bears come into the game at 3-1, with their lone loss coming against the divisional foes, the Vikings. That team also beat the Packers in Week 1. The Bears have beaten Carolina, Philadelphia, and the Jets. It is impressive that they’ve won the past two games considering they didn’t have starting quarterback Caleb Williams.  The Packers are just 2-2 for the season. Their wins have come against the Jets and the Buccaneers. Jordan Love has had to do everything in order to get the wins for Green Bay, as their running game is non-existent. Their run defense is one of the worst in football, and their offensive running game is the worst in the sport.  Another game to enjoy today is between two heavyweights in the NFC. The Seahawks and 49ers square off in the afternoon set of games. The last time the 49ers went to Seattle, the game was over essentially as soon as it started. The 49ers gave up a kickoff return for a touchdown, and then mistake after mistake bounced them from the playoffs. Seattle has somewhat picked up where they left off last season. They ended the year with a Super Bowl victory. This year, they are 3-1 with a 2-0 home mark. Their lone loss came on the road against a Commanders team that really had no business beating Seattle. Perhaps they just have the 49ers number, but they might also be the victims of revenge.  Both games are great matchups, and both games have big rivalry potential. Betr is offering new users a chance to deposit and get money to use on both games by offering $20 in bonuses with promo code FOXNEWS.     Odds are subject to change       Odds are subject to change Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acb733e75342cf4db8ed874 Fanatics Sportsbook Promo Code FOXNEWS350 Unlocks Bet $20, Get $350 Promo for NFL Week 5 te 2026-10-11T11:30:06.797Z Fanatics Sportsbook Promo Code FOXNEWS350 Unlocks Bet $20, Get $350 Promo for NFL Week 5 The full slate of Week 5 has arrived, and we are ready to lock in for football from 9:30 A.M.

The first game takes place in London at 9:30 ET, and the last is between the Ravens and Falcons on Sunday Night Football. Between those two, we are given 11 solid matchups, with most happening in the early window of games.  One game in the early window that is worth watching is between the Cleveland Browns and the New York Jets. It is early in the season, but the Browns are surprisingly good. Their defense is playing well, and their offense looks competent. Deshaun Watson has been reliable and kept drives alive.  The New York Jets are struggling this season with a 1-3 record, but they have been surprisingly competitive in their games. They won the season opener against Tennessee, then lost in overtime to Green Bay, and lost by just seven to the Lions. Last week they faced the Bears and just couldn’t get anything going against Chicago’s defense.  The books have made the Jets the favorite in this one, but they don’t expect it to be a very high-scoring game. The total is 39.5, which is one of the lowest on the board this week. The Browns don’t have much of a running game, so New York would be smart to try to limit the passing.  Cleveland just needs to keep doing what they are doing in order to get a win.

Years earlier, the youngest son of the late Queen Elizabeth II dated actress Ruthie Henshall from 1988 to 1993. The West End star recently opened up about their romance in her memoir "The Showgirl and the Prince." "Ruth, I couldn't put you through the job," Henshall recalled Edward telling her. "If I could, I would have two wives. One for the job, and one whom I loved, because you would never want to subject the woman you love to the job." QUEEN ELIZABETH’S MOTHER WANTED HER TO MARRY ANOTHER MAN BEFORE PRINCE PHILIP: AUTHOR Fox News Digital reached out to Henshall, 59, and Edward, 62, for comment. A Buckingham Palace spokesperson previously told Fox News Digital the palace doesn't comment on books. The pair first met in 1988 while Henshall was starring in "Cats" and Edward was working as a production assistant for Andrew Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Theatre Company. Henshall recalled making a beeline for the young prince when he arrived at the theater, playfully welcoming him "to the litter." A romance blossomed. Fox News may be compensated for or earn a commission if you buy through our referral links. As their relationship grew more serious, Henshall said the realities of royal life began to set in. WATCH: WHY QUEEN ELIZABETH REJECTED HER MOTHER'S PREFERRED MATCH: AUTHOR "Honestly, this type of thinking is very standard for royal men throughout history," royal commentator Amanda Matta told Fox News Digital. "It's why royal mistresses were so common. For most of history, official marriages have been strategic and political arrangements. But the royals are still people, and they need intimacy and companionship like anyone else." "Edward and Sophie have been married for over 25 years though and seem genuinely well-matched," Matta added. Royal broadcaster Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital it's easy to see why the prince was drawn to Henshall. "Ruthie Henshall has been a renowned theatre actress for several decades and Edward loved that world," he explained. "I personally remember working with the National Youth Music Theatre of which Edward was president, so Ruthie would have been his ideal partner at the time." "The relationship went on for quite a while, and she was very nervous meeting the royal family, especially the queen," Turner said. "She forgot to curtsy to her. She also saw first-hand how the royal family operated with all their high jinks behind the scenes. I feel, although she felt deeply fond of Edward, she realized she could not marry him and still have her beloved career, which was her main passion." In the book, Henshall wrote that, at least initially, she believed love might be enough to overcome the rigid expectations of marrying into the royal family. GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE "Of course, I had spotted some etiquette dilemmas, but typically I'd just assumed that I'd be able to break the rules," Henshall wrote. "That an exception would be made for me. I knew how to be a good girl, but I also knew that the possibility of me going out on a wild night and flashing my boobs in public was quite high. So, there were times when I felt torn about it all, but as far as I was concerned, I just wanted him." Matta suggested Henshall would have adapted to royal life rather than challenged its traditions. "I don't think Henshall would have shaken up the institution very much," Matta said. "Growing up British, she would have understood the monarchy and grasped the weight of its traditions in a way a true outsider or foreigner might not. In that sense, she's similar to Edward himself. He has a big personality and a real love of the art world, but he's also deeply dutiful." "I suspect that, if she'd married him, she would have adapted to the role rather than reinvented it. That may have even meant giving up her career, as Sophie later had to do." Henshall wrote that she even turned to Sarah Ferguson, who was then married to the former Prince Andrew, for guidance. "One time when I was pining for Edward, I remember saying to Sarah, 'Would I ever be allowed to marry him?'" Henshall wrote. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

Later, in her memoir, she described how she wanted to make any other woman coming into the royal family feel comfortable. And she absolutely did that. She made it her mission. So, I think I got the best side of her. And I was grateful to her on many occasions." As Henshall's career continued to rise, she realized that she and Edward came from different worlds — worlds that were too different. Unwilling to give up her career for royal life, Henshall knew their relationship wasn't going to work. "We had wanted to be together," Henshall wrote. "We had tried desperately to make it work. But it seemed impossible because of who he was, and what I wanted to do in my career. There was this push–pull going on all the time, and we'd reached a point of no return." "... I fell in love with him, and it wasn't because he was a prince. ... But at times, it was only too obvious that we came from different worlds." Despite the breakup, Turner suggested Edward and Henshall remained close. "As far as I know, their great friendship has remained through the decades," Turner said. PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE In 1999, Edward married Sophie, who later gave up her public relations career to become a full-time working royal. The couple have two children: Lady Louise, 22, and James, Earl of Wessex, 18. Edward and Sophie decided not to use prince and princess titles for their children, allowing them to choose whether to use those titles and His or Her Royal Highness (HRH) styling when they turned 18, People magazine reported. Neither has chosen to do so. Over the years, Sophie has earned a reputation as one of the royal family's most dedicated and reliable members. She has taken on additional royal duties as King Charles oversees a slimmed-down monarchy and has largely avoided public scandal. "Prince Edward is married to the characterful, dependable, hardworking and personable Duchess Sophie," royal broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital. "She is also viewed as the royal family's 'secret weapon.' She really is a huge asset to King Charles and the institution. Behind the scenes, she is putting duty above all else. She's also applauded for her personal patronages. Edward and Sophie are a great match." Matta suggested Edward ultimately found in Sophie the qualities he once believed he would need two different women to provide. "If anything, she ended up being everything he once thought he'd have to look for in different places!" Matta said.

"It's used for any kind of crime really," Phil Arnold, a public affairs manager for the company, told Fox News Digital. "It's very helpful for hit-and-run accidents, also stolen vehicles, property crimes, crimes against people as well." Arnold is a retired law enforcement officer who served his community in Shorewood, Illinois, for 40 years. He was the chief police executive in the town for 27 years. FORMER PENTAGON AI CHIEF WARNS FLOCK CAMERAS COULD CREATE 'CHINA-LIKE SURVEILLANCE STATE' IN THE US Arnold told Fox News Digital that for the last seven years of his career, his department used automatic license plate reader (ALPR) technology, which Flock Safety operates, to help solve crimes, describing the innovation as nothing short of revolutionary. "Let me give you an example. Before we had this technology, someone would say, 'Hey, I just got robbed, and it was a white Chevy Tahoe,'" Arnold explained. "We would then put out this information, a BOLO [be on the lookout] so to speak, and police officers would stop every white Chevy Tahoe trying to find the offender." Now, in a similar situation, Flock surveillance cameras narrow the searches to a specific geographic location where a reported crime has occurred, and then photographs of license plates matching the vehicle description can be used to identify possible suspect vehicles. "So it narrows down the search," Arnold said. "It doesn't inconvenience the people who are just getting stopped because of the car they're driving." LICENSE PLATE CAMERAS ARE TRACKING DRIVERS EVERYWHERE Flock provided Fox News Digital data from an internal report regarding crime solving rates in cities that use Flock cameras, compared to cities that don't. For example, in Tennessee, Nashville cleared only 7% of motor vehicle thefts in the first half of 2026, versus 40% in Flock-equipped Hendersonville, a smaller city about 16 miles away, according to the data. "Aggravated assault clearance followed the same pattern: 41% vs. 95%. Only 3% of vehicle break-ins were solved in Nashville, compared with 50% in Hendersonville. Those patterns, according to Flock, hold true in places all over the country. Where Hillsborough, North Carolina, which does not use Flock, cleared 0% of vehicle thefts in the time studied, nearby Burlington cleared 46% of the same cases. In Flock-less Ann Arbor, Michigan, solve rates were lower than in nearby Van Buren Township. FLOCK CEO, TECH RIVAL CALLED OUT TO TESTIFY BEFORE SENATORS OVER AI CAMERA PRIVACY CONCERNS Flock described Eugene, Oregon, as "the most telling case." "Flock cameras ran through October 2025, then were removed," the report says. "Motor-vehicle-theft clearance fell from 15% to 9%; burglary clearance dropped from 21% to 15%. "Nearby Medford, still running Flock, cleared 29% of vehicle thefts & 25% of burglaries over the same period." But not everyone is singing Flock's praises. Skeptical communities nationwide have petitioned their local governments to do away with the technology. Some argue that it is intrusive and unnecessary, while others say it's unconstitutional. On Thursday, a federal judge in Oklahoma ruled that a police deputy who used Flock to access a woman's driving history over the previous month, and then used the historical data to pull her over, violated her Fourth Amendment rights. She was in possession of 91 pounds of methamphetamine at the time of the stop. FORMER SECRET SERVICE CYBERCRIME EXPERT WEIGHS IN ON PRIVACY AFTER HACKERS BREACH STOLEN FLOCK CAMERA Chad Marlow is a senior policy counsel at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), where his focus is privacy and surveillance. He argued there's not necessarily causation between implementing Flock cameras and solving crimes. "It's a different city. It's a different size. What were the auto theft rates beforehand? What are the poverty rates in that city?" he asked. "What are the philosophies of the police department? Like, how many police are dedicated to trying to prevent or solve car thefts in one city versus the other?" Privacy is a major question surrounding Flock cameras, and many places are having a robust debate on the level of surveillance they want on their streets, and whether their data should be collected by a private company working in tandem with the police. "I think a common misconception is that when the car goes past the camera, and it captures the image of the back of the vehicle and the license plate, which is all it does, you can't see who's driving the car, you can't see who the passenger is. It just captures the back of the car and the license plate," Arnold explained. INNOCENT WOMAN SAYS POLICE USE OF FLOCK CAMERA LED TO 13 DAYS IN JAIL He added that the data is not accessed except when law enforcement is searching for a suspect, and that police officers need a Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) report or a case report number to access any data. The data is retained for 30 days, according to Arnold. But cases of police officers using ALPR technology for purposes outside its law enforcement scope are piling up. A Washington Post analysis identified at least 50 cases of rogue officers abusing the tool, with many cases involving stalking of ex-lovers. Meanwhile, the constitutionality of the surveillance remains up for debate. "The Constitution establishes our right to privacy, and it establishes that people's personal effects and their private information cannot be accessed by the government without a warrant, without probable cause," Marlow said, noting that it's not just Flock Safety using ALPR technology, and that companies like Axon and Motorola sell the technology, too. "But it's very fair for Americans to look out and be like, 'You know what, If I'm not accused of doing anything wrong, I don't want the government tracking everywhere I go in my vehicle for days, weeks, months, or even years. I don't want that happening, and even if the Constitution says it's allowed, I don't want my laws saying it's allowed.'" Arnold told Fox News Digital that Flock is open to government regulation of the tools. "We want legislation passed," he said. "Our CEO, Garrett Langley called, gosh, probably a month-and-a-half ago, asking legislators to please ... put the laws in place that will regulate this. "We want it regulated. We don't want people misusing the system. We've seen this in the news." He added: "Nobody dislikes a bad officer more than a good officer." Marlow says the company is asking for regulation to save its business amid the backlash it has recently received. "Flock suddenly coming to the table now is because they have no choice," he said, noting that company only recently declared that it would drop the standard data retention period to 30 days. "Flock didn't do that because it suddenly got a conscience, [or] it's suddenly decided to be ethical. It did it because it needed a PR bump." The bottom line for Arnold is that the tool helps police officers, and that help is desperately needed. "It's so good for the manpower of a police department, you know? Most police departments across the country are a little shorthanded. Not everybody wants to be the police anymore. So it truly does help in those cases," Arnold said. "It is a tool that is a force multiplier for sure, and I've seen that firsthand being a chief of police using the technology."

But on Sept. 27, it was Von Herbulis who became the catch of the day. Now Sgt. William Leven is set to receive a Lifesaving Award for jumping into the shark-filled water at feeding time and hoisting him over sharp oyster shells and barnacle-encrusted dock pylons to safety. CRUISE PASSENGER HAILED AS HERO AFTER JUMPING INTO WATER TO SAVE 84-YEAR-OLD MAN The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office posted a video of the rescue the next day on Facebook, praising their quick-acting sergeant. And as for fishing, Von Herbulis said, "I was back the next day." "He doesn’t miss," his wife, Lori Von Herbulis, laughed. As he does every day, Von Herbulis set out for the marina in his condominium community in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. He motored along in his electric wheelchair, pulling beside him a wagon stuffed with fishing and crabbing gear. He toted his equipment to a narrow private dock near Ponce de Leon Inlet, which sits at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. His wife of 41 years had gone out for the evening. But he usually fishes solo anyway. At the dock, he pushed the cart with his fishing poles and tackle box ahead of his wheelchair, out past the boat slips to his favorite fishing spot. It wasn’t a memorable evening of fishing. And as the sun dipped, he packed his gear to go back home. For his safety, the former water treatment plant operator isn’t supposed to be on the dock after dark. And on this night, the dock was unusually vacant. Normally, other anglers would be casting their lines, and people would be strolling, admiring the sunset, he said. But this night, he was all alone with the lapping waves and rising tide. BEACH HERO JUMPS INTO THE WATER AFTER SPOTTING 3 GIRLS IN DANGER OF DROWNING At about 7:30 p.m., he was rumbling over the planks toward home when his wagon of gear bumped into a dock box and jackknifed. The jostled wheelchair toppled over. SHARK WEEK DANGERS HIT HOME AS MAN IS BADLY BITTEN WHILE SAVING PREGNANT FIANCÉE FROM HARM Von Herbulis tumbled into the water. His cellphone, his lifeline to support, went, too. Von Herbulis stayed calm. "I looked up and swam up to the surface of the water," he said. Because it was high tide, he was able to reach up and grasp an electrical conduit pipe jutting between boat slips. At low tide, it would have been 4-6 feet out of reach, Lori Von Herbulis told Fox News Digital. It "was the closest thing that didn't have barnacles or oysters on it," her husband said. "Help!" he called out. But no one came. About every 30 seconds, he cried out, "hollering for help," he said. He knew his wife would come looking for him when she arrived back home and didn’t find him there. "I'm thinking, Am I gonna have to wait here all night?" Finally, a just-arriving angler heard splashing and saw Von Herbulis clinging to the pipe. But a locked gate on the dock prevented him from getting close. "We don't think he belonged there—not that we care, because he was our angel," Lori Von Herbulis said. "But he didn't have a key to get in." The man called 911 anonymously to report a "possible drowning," sheriff’s office records show. At about 9 p.m., Leven and his partner, Deputy Boris Rodriguez, raced to the private marina at the Minorca condominium community. They found the overturned wheelchair and saw Von Herbulis "struggling to keep his head above water," a sheriff’s office incident report shows. Bodycam footage shows Leven shedding the belt holding his gun holster before getting into the water with a sheriff’s office buoy. Careful to avoid the sharp oyster shells below and razor-like edges of barnacles on the dock pylons all around, Leven got the buoy to Von Herbulis. And he snatched a bag of Von Herbulis’s belongings as it floated away. With the help of bystanders, the deputies got Von Herbulis up the nearby stairs from the water to the dock. Von Herbulis, who can’t stand or walk since breaking his neck 19 years ago, declined medical attention. They got him back into his electric wheelchair, and he motored home with a grateful heart. As of September 2026, there have been 44 shark attack bites globally this year, according to data from Tracking Sharks, an organization that publishes records on shark incidents. In 11 of the attacks, the sharks were said to have been "provoked," according to the organization. Eight of the attacks this year have been fatal. There have been 13 shark attack bites in the United States this year, according to the organization. None have been fatal. Florida leads as the U.S. state with the "highest frequency of unprovoked shark encounters," the organization’s website states. In September, a surfer was bitten on the foot by a shark in New Smyrna Beach, not far from where Von Herbulis was rescued. One of the best ways to avoid being bitten by a shark is to stay out of the water at dawn or dusk, according to experts with the International Shark Attack File. The scientific project is part of the Florida Museum of Natural History at the University of Florida in Gainesville. It’s also important to swim with a buddy, avoid swimming where people are fishing, and avoid splashing, the scientific group warns on its website. Von Herbulis inadvertently broke those rules, putting him at increased risk. But there are ways to reduce risk if a shark approaches, scientists advise on the project website. "Maintain eye contact with the shark," a tip list advises. "Slowly move away, and if possible, exit the water." And "if the shark tries to bite you," the page advises, "hit the shark in the eyes and gills, sensitive areas that can be hurt, regardless of personal strength." Another recommended tactic: "Hit the shark on the snout and push away. Water-resistance weakens your punch." At his fishing spot, Von Herbulis often catches sharks, once one about seven feet long, he said. And they often snatch half the redfish or snook he’s caught as he reels in his catch. SEND US A TIP He’s fallen in twice before. His wife doesn’t go with him, she said, because she fears witnessing that. GOT A TIP? But Von Herbulis, also an avid hunter, shrugs off the danger he faced in the dark water alone. He avoided injury on the sharp barnacles and oysters, because he "made a clean dive in the water," he joked. GET BREAKING NEWS BY EMAIL And "there's obviously sharks in that water," the grandfather of six said with a chuckle. "But they didn't want me."

The 71-year-old pontiff said doctors discovered the nodule at a "very early stage" and recommended its removal. The surgery is scheduled for the coming days, with the pope expected to remain hospitalized for approximately one week, according to Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni. "Doctors found a small lump in the lung," Leo said after the Angelus address. "It was identified at a very early stage and well situated." POPE LEO VISITS SITE OF MIRACLE CURES, MEETS PEOPLE WHOSE UNEXPLAINED HEALINGS STUNNED DOCTORS "The doctors consider it appropriate to intervene and so, following their advice, I decided to have surgery to remove it," he continued. "The surgery is already scheduled for the next few days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and I rely on your prayer." The surgery is likely to take place within a few days at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome, which is known as the "Pope's" hospital, Vatican sources told Fox News. The Vatican has not disclosed whether the nodule is cancerous, and no further details about the pope's diagnosis or the planned procedure were immediately available. The announcement comes as a surprise for the American-born pontiff, who has no previously known health problems and is known for maintaining an active lifestyle. Leo regularly plays tennis and swims at the papal summer retreat in Castel Gandolfo, according to The Associated Press. The pope is also scheduled to embark on a major international trip from Nov. 6–17, with planned stops in Uruguay, Argentina and Peru. It remains unclear whether his surgery and recovery will affect those travel plans. In addition to addressing his health, Leo used his Sunday remarks to renew his appeal for peace in war-torn Ukraine, warning that the conflict continues to inflict suffering far beyond the country's borders. "The war in the martyred Ukraine continues to create suffering, even beyond its borders, especially in the poorest countries, where many people depend on the exports of cereals and grains," the pope said. Leo called on those involved in the conflict to ensure the safe passage of Ukrainian grain shipments through the Black Sea, emphasizing the consequences for vulnerable populations around the world. "I send a strong appeal for all those involved that they can guarantee the safe transport of grains in the Black Sea," he said. "The daily life of many people cannot be hostage to war."

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acb62d775342cf4db8ed684 MAP IT: DOJ illegal voting crackdown sweeps 17 states as razor-thin elections face scrutiny te 2026-10-11T10:20:07.890Z MAP IT: DOJ illegal voting crackdown sweeps 17 states as razor-thin elections face scrutiny The Justice Department has charged 64 foreign nationals across 17 states with unlawful voting, fraudulent voter registration and election-related offenses in roughly the last five weeks, according to figures provided to Fox News Digital, as federal prosecutors intensify election-integrity enforcement. Minnesota leads the nation with 11 defendants, followed by Pennsylvania with 10 and Texas with nine. Louisiana accounts for five, while New Jersey, California and Florida each have four, according to the department's latest tally. The nationwide crackdown comes as federal officials intensify scrutiny of voter-registration safeguards ahead of November's midterms, with recent elections underscoring how even a few illegal ballots can exceed the margin separating candidates. Fox News Digital mapped the states with the largest concentrations of defendants as DOJ says it has charged 104 people with voting fraud-related offenses since Trump returned to office in 2025. SKID ROW FORGERIES, ILLEGAL VOTES AND A MAYORAL CANDIDATE: ELECTION FRAUD CASES PILE UP NATIONWIDE "Every illegal vote cancels out the vote of a lawful American citizen. In 2020, Iowa's 2nd Congressional District race was decided by six votes," a DOJ spokesperson told Fox News Digital, referring to Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks' narrow victory over Democrat Rita Hart. DOJ said federal prosecutors are bringing more than twice as many election-fraud cases each week as the six-vote margin in the Iowa race. NIGERIAN WOMAN IN MASSACHUSETTS CHARGED AFTER ALLEGED ILLEGAL VOTING IN FEDERAL ELECTIONS The spokesperson added: "Voting by noncitizens and other ineligible voters is a federal crime, and the department will enforce the law whether a case involves one illegal ballot or hundreds." The cases involve allegations ranging from fraudulent registration applications to ballots cast in multiple elections. The department is also securing guilty pleas in some cases, including against Filipino national Evelyn Miller of Emmaus, Pennsylvania. Miller pleaded guilty to illegally voting in the 2024 presidential election and faces up to one year in prison and a $100,000 fine. MORE THAN A QUARTER-MILLION NONCITIZENS MAY BE REGISTERED TO VOTE IN 4 KEY STATES, DHS ALLEGES "We intend to prosecute anyone who corrupts our democracy by illegally voting in its elections," U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania David Metcalf said. Also in Pennsylvania, federal prosecutors charged Haitian national Cliff Sanon with submitting a fraudulent voter registration application in Philadelphia County. Prosecutors allege he submitted eight registration applications and voted in the November 2022 election. BLANCHE ANNOUNCES CHARGES AGAINST 10 PERMANENT RESIDENTS ACCUSED OF MINNESOTA VOTER FRAUD In Minnesota, Ghanaian green card holder Joshua Kofi Edzie was charged with illegally voting in the state's August 2026 primary and falsely claiming U.S. citizenship in connection with voter registration. The prosecutions have also reached Republican-led states, including Texas, Louisiana and Florida, which account for 18 defendants combined in the DOJ figures provided to Fox News Digital. In Louisiana, the feds indicted an ex-mayoral candidate on a charge of voting by an alien. Bridget Johnson, who ran in 2024 to lead Cotton Valley, Louisiana, allegedly submitted a registration in the name of Jamaican national Michael Wedderburn and falsely swore he was a citizen. Wedderburn then allegedly voted illegally in 2024 for president and mayor. He was also recently indicted. In New Jersey, Republicans have pointed to several razor-thin elections amid a separate controversy involving approximately 6,600 people who indicated they were not citizens but were erroneously registered through the state's Motor Vehicle Commission. Fewer than 400 subsequently voted, according to Gov. Mikie Sherrill's administration. Former Englewood Cliffs Mayor Mario Kranjac recently highlighted municipal elections in Caldwell, Atlantic Highlands and Bogota decided by margins of four to six votes in 2023. SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER The state has not established that any of the affected voters changed an election outcome. Sherrill spokesman Sean Higgins previously said the governor "moved with transparency and accountability to remediate this error from 2023." The prosecutions come as federal officials continue scrutinizing voter-registration safeguards ahead of November's midterm elections. Authorities have not established that any of the cases identified in DOJ's nationwide tally changed the outcome of an election. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acb62d775342cf4db8ed67b Inside Israel's plot to kill Hezbollah chief as Netanyahu warned Biden aide would 'jump out of his skin' te 2026-10-11T10:20:07.266Z Inside Israel's plot to kill Hezbollah chief as Netanyahu warned Biden aide would 'jump out of his skin' As Israel prepared to assassinate Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in September 2024, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his senior defense officials disagreed over whether to notify the Biden administration ahead of the operation, fearing Washington could try to stop the mission, according to Wall Street Journal editorial writer Elliot Kaufman and a second source familiar with the deliberations. "140%, they won't approve of the mission," Netanyahu told senior Israeli defense officials, according to Kaufman, co-author of "In the War Room: The Inside Story of Israel's Fight Against Hamas and the Iranian Axis," who recounted the exchange in an interview with Fox News Digital. Then-Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi favored informing Washington, believing the Americans might support a strike against a Hezbollah leader linked to the deaths of U.S. service members, according to Kaufman. Netanyahu, however, warned that then-U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan would "jump out of his skin" if he learned of the plans. The disagreement reflected a widening divide between Jerusalem and Washington over Israel's military campaign against Iran's regional proxies, as the Biden administration sought to prevent the fighting from escalating into a broader regional war. 'BIBI'S HAIR ON FIRE': TRUMP-NETANYAHU PUBLIC 'RIFT' MASKED UNIFIED FRONT AGAINST IRAN, ANALYST SAYS When Israeli jets struck Hezbollah's headquarters in Beirut on September 27, 2024, the Pentagon said it had received no advance warning. Gallant spoke with then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin while the operation was already underway. The strike killed Nasrallah, who had led the Iranian-backed terrorist organization for more than three decades, marking a major turning point in Israel's campaign against Hezbollah, which opened a second front against Israel on October 8, 2023, a day after Hamas' deadly attack in southern Israel, and had since launched repeated rocket and missile attacks on northern Israeli communities. Kaufman argued that Israel had spent nearly a year waiting for American diplomacy to end Hezbollah's attacks on its northern communities, without success. "From Israel's point of view, it had been sitting and waiting for 10, 11 months while Hezbollah had been pounding the north of Israel with rockets and with anti-tank missiles, waiting for American diplomacy to succeed," he said. "It didn't work. Something had to change on the northern front." Kaufman said the confrontation exposed a fundamental difference in how the two governments approached the war. "The United States may not have been in Israel's war room, but it could never be denied a seat at the table when it asked," he said. "What I was told from the Israeli prime minister's office is ‘America's goal is to de-escalate the war. Our goal is to win the war,' and we saw that clash at every point, especially during the Biden administration." VP JD VANCE ADDRESSES US-ISRAEL RELATIONSHIP, WHETHER IRAN IS TRYING TO 'PLAY' THE UNITED STATES The book, written by Kaufman and Jerusalem Post senior military analyst Yonah Jeremy Bob, also describes how Netanyahu initially resisted launching a full-scale ground invasion of Gaza following the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas massacre, only to emerge later as one of the strongest advocates for continuing the war. "Prime Minister Netanyahu had just seen the IDF, Israel's military, fail miserably on Oct. 7, and Israel's intelligence services fail miserably on October 7," Kaufman told Fox News Digital. Senior American generals dispatched by President Biden also warned Israeli leaders that a ground invasion could end in military defeat, even in Gaza City, according to Kaufman. Netanyahu eventually approved the ground operation on Oct. 27, 2023, after weeks of internal debate. "Over time, he would gain confidence in the IDF, regain confidence in the military, in Israel's intelligence services, and end up outlasting, exhausting, or simply firing all of his war room rivals," Kaufman said. Kaufman was more critical when asked about Netanyahu's accountability for Oct. 7. "I have spoken to Prime Minister Netanyahu several times in person, even more on the phone. I had a three hour conversation with him extending well past midnight in Israel," Kaufman said. "I have not heard him take responsibility for what happened on October 7th." Instead, Kaufman said, Netanyahu consistently points to the failure of senior military officials to alert him before the Hamas assault began. "What he says is, 6:29. They didn't wake me up until 6:29 in the morning on the day of October 7th," Kaufman recounted. Those remarks came as a new controversy erupted in Israel over the official record of Netanyahu's actions on the morning of the attack. In a lengthy interview broadcast Thursday by Israel's Channel 12, retired Maj. Gen. Avi Gil, who served as Netanyahu's military secretary at the time, said that the prime minister's chief of staff, Tzachi Braverman, attempted to alter the official record of a telephone call between Gil and Netanyahu. EXPERTS URGE EXTREME CAUTION ON IRAN'S 'CROWN JEWEL' HEZBOLLAH — TERROR GROUP WITH US BLOOD ON ITS HANDS Gil said a stenographer told him she had been instructed to change the recorded time of their first secure telephone conversation from 6:40 a.m. to 6:29 a.m. Gil said he had raised concerns about irregular recordkeeping with the attorney general's office in real time. Braverman has acknowledged seeking to change the recorded time but denied wrongdoing. Gil also challenged the completeness of Netanyahu's public account of the events preceding the massacre, saying there were significant gaps between what occurred and what had been presented to the Israeli public and in his written statements. The Likud party dismissed the alleged attempt to falsify the record, saying "the matter had been investigated by police two years earlier and that police had recommended closing the case because it lacked substance." However, prosecutors have not announced a decision to close the case. Gil also said that opportunities to secure hostage agreements earlier in the war had been lost because of political considerations. Asked by Channel 12 whether some hostages who died in captivity could have been brought home alive, Gil replied, "We could have." He indicated that opposition to ceasefires and hostage deals from far-right ministers in Netanyahu's coalition influenced the prime minister's decisions. While acknowledging that senior Israeli military officials believed Netanyahu was prolonging the war for political reasons, Kaufman challenged the argument that political survival was his sole motivation, pointing to Israel's subsequent campaigns against Hezbollah and Iran. "There were real strategic interests to be pursued," he said. "Almost all of the real achievements of this war came later in the war," he said, arguing that the subsequent weakening of Hezbollah, the collapse of the Assad regime in Syria and the attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities complicated claims that continued fighting served only Netanyahu's political interests. IDF ANNOUNCES ELIMINATION OF HEZBOLLAH COMMANDER BEHIND MURDER OF 5 AMERICAN SOLDIERS The book also examines how Israel's early military successes against Iran helped persuade President Donald Trump to authorize U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities during the 12-day war in June 2025. Kaufman described how a Trump administration official showed him a map of Israeli airstrikes that had opened a route toward Fordow, Iran's heavily fortified underground nuclear facility. According to Kaufman, Israeli military chief Eyal Zamir subsequently made the case directly to Vice President JD Vance that American forces had an extraordinary opportunity to strike. "You have a straight shot to Iran's nuclear sites. You will never have a better opportunity than this," Kaufman said, recounting Zamir's message to Vance. Kaufman said the Israeli military chief told Vance that Israeli aircraft were already operating over the area, but that the U.S. possessed the heavy bunker-busting bombs necessary for the Fordow mission. He credited the vice president with helping secure Trump's final authorization for Operation Midnight Hammer. "Vice President Vance played a critical role in ultimately securing American participation in the highly successful 12-day war," Kaufman said. The account challenges the notion that Trump was reluctantly drawn into the conflict by Netanyahu, Kaufman argued, portraying the president instead as responding to an opportunity created by Israel's demonstrated military capabilities. Jake Sullivan's response was not received by the deadline.

"I think it's highly likely that if firing squad is successful here and successful in quotes because we still don't always know what a person is going through, but let's say it's a very quick execution, that it seems conceivable that it would be used on other inmates as well," Fordham Law Professor Deborah Denno, a leading expert on capital punishment, told Fox News Digital. In recent years, Idaho, Utah and South Carolina have been among the states to embrace the firing squad as a potential means of execution as lethal injections fall out of favor. TRUMP CLEARS WAY FOR FORT HOOD TERRORIST TO FACE ARMY FIRING SQUAD NEARLY 17 YEARS AFTER MASSACRE The Trump administration announced earlier this week that Hasan will be executed by firing squad. He had been sentenced to death in 2013 after a 2009 mass shooting at the Army base killed 13 people and wounded 32 others. The Pentagon confirmed to Fox News Digital on Thursday that authorities plan to livestream the sentence when it's carried out on Dec. 3. FORT HOOD SURVIVOR SHOT IN HEAD VOWS TO WATCH TERRORIST FACE HISTORIC FIRING SQUAD "The firing squad is considered to be more certain," Denno explained. "It's considered to be quicker, and it's also considered to be the, what I call the least inhumane method of execution." Condemned prisoners who face the firing squad are believed to suffer less pain than those who receive lethal injections or other methods of capital punishment, she said. People with excellent aim are also more abundant and better trained than executioners in other methods, she said. "We have an endless supply of people who are experts in shooting, either professionally, because they're a police officer, corrections officer, or something like that," she said. "But we also have people are who are excellent, superb markspeople too, because that's a hobby or whatever. So this is, it's not difficult finding somebody who's willing to do this." According to the Army, the last U.S. military execution was that of Pvt. John A. Bennett on April 13, 1961, at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas. He was hanged after being convicted of rape and attempted murder. Previously, Denno has said that the firing squad is the most humane and effective means of execution, with relatively few hiccups throughout American history. TENNESSEE DEATH ROW INMATE SURVIVES 2 LETHAL INJECTION DOSES IN FAILED EXECUTION ATTEMPT In recent years, the firing squad has returned to favor in some states that still use capital punishment over concerns including the limited availability of lethal injection drugs and their reliability. Last week, a death row inmate in Tennessee survived two doses of pentobarbital — becoming the first person in the modern era to survive a lethal injection attempt and raising new questions about whether they should remain a viable means of execution. CHRISTA PIKE'S ATTORNEYS SAY SHE'S IN CRITICAL CONDITION AFTER BOTCHED LETHAL INJECTIONS Christa Pike, 50, is recovering after the injections failed to kill her last week. She had been sentenced to death for the 1995 torture and murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer in Knoxville. FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X Firing squads have had far fewer controversies throughout American history, Denno said. Until recently, there had only been two incidents — in 1877 and again in 1951. "Of course there haven't been that many firing squad executions, but otherwise, given everything about the firing squad, these shooters should not be missing their target," she said.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acb527275342cf4db8ed4bb California faces unlikely tax revolt amid billions in illegal immigrant healthcare costs te 2026-10-11T09:10:10.366Z California faces unlikely tax revolt amid billions in illegal immigrant healthcare costs As California grapples with soaring Medi-Cal costs — including billions spent on healthcare for immigrants without legal status — Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democratic lawmakers have backed a revised health-plan tax in response to new federal restrictions, a move critics warn could shift more costs onto privately insured Californians. The tax has united an unlikely coalition of doctors and health insurers against him, with critics warning it could make California even more expensive. To preserve billions in Medi-Cal financing after Washington tightened the rules governing health-plan taxes used to draw federal matching funds, Newsom backed a redesigned tax that would raise the levy on private health plans beginning in 2027 if federally approved, potentially increasing premiums for their customers. Providing healthcare to illegal immigrants cost California an estimated $12.4 billion in 2025, the Associated Press reported. When asked if expanding coverage to illegal immigrants created a need for California to raise taxes, Brian Blase, president of the right-of-center Paragon Health Institute, answered with a strong "yes." DR. OZ UNVEILS MEDICAID OVERHAUL, CLAMPS DOWN ON $2B FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS AND MANDATES WORK FOR ABLE-BODIED "The One Big Beautiful Bill Act limited California's ability to target the tax just on Medicaid insurers, so California is proposing to raise the health insurance tax on people that have private coverage ... the estimates are that would increase insurance for families by $400 a year," he told Fox News Digital. "That is just because California doesn't want to deal with its unsustainable spending ... there are many people on the program who are not eligible for the program, and that is not even accounting for the fact that California has expanded Medicaid to all unauthorized immigrants in the state." California's attempt to shore up Medi-Cal's bottom line follows federal changes that will prevent the state from continuing its existing health-plan tax structure after 2026, forcing a redesign of a financing mechanism that has generated billions of dollars for the program. The California Medical Association and California Association of Health Plans are suing to block the tax increase, not on the grounds that it benefits illegal immigrants, but over allegations that the measure violates voter-approved limits on health-plan taxes and restrictions on how the resulting revenue can be spent. The duo uniting to challenge the tax is notable because doctors and insurance companies often find themselves on opposite sides of healthcare debates. Proposition 35, the initiative in question, limits how much California can tax commercial health-plan enrollment, constraining the state's options as it tries to comply with new federal rules governing the much higher tax previously imposed on Medi-Cal enrollment. The proposition was passed with overwhelming support from Californian voters. NEWSOM BEGS CALIFORNIANS TO VOTE 'NO' ON BILLIONAIRE'S TAX IN FACE OF MASS EXODUS, PITCHES NATIONWIDE TAX HIKE "California voters passed Proposition 35 and made it law. The state does not get to ignore that law simply because following the law is inconvenient," California Medical Association CEO Dustin Corcoran said in a statement. Health insurers warn the cost of the revised tax could be passed directly on to consumers through higher premiums, estimating an increase of about $100 per person per year. A family of four, for example, could face an additional $400 annually on top of normal rate increases. Newsom spokeswoman Tara Gallegos said that the governor maintains that his tax increase is not rendered illegal by the proposition. "The state disagrees with their claims, and we believe the courts will too," she told Fox News Digital of the lawsuit. H.D. Palmer, deputy director for external affairs at the California Department of Finance, explained to Fox News Digital that the new tax measure was designed to comply with the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. According to Palmer, the state's current health tax regime may conflict with the bill and that the state is submitting a proposal with two tracks — one that is similar to the current taxing scheme but might run afoul of federal law and another that conforms to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act by shifting costs toward private plans. CALIFORNIANS FLEEING TO RED STATES ARE DRIVING UP HOME PRICES AND RENTS IN THEIR NEW CITIES, DATA SHOWS "If the federal government declines to approve the tax that is structured similar to the existing [health plan tax], Proposition 35 may then sunset per current law," he added. California has faced a mass exodus of people and businesses over the past decade, with the cost of living being one of the chief reasons individuals cite for leaving the Golden State. One analysis found that almost 10 million people moved from California to other states between 2010 and 2024, while just over 7 million moved to California from elsewhere in the country during the same period. The state’s exodus has raised concerns about its financial outlook, with the departure of higher-income residents potentially reducing tax revenue for a state heavily dependent on income taxes. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6acb527175342cf4db8ed4b2 How a lobsterman's privacy fight reached SCOTUS — and could ripple far beyond the water: 'Ain't over yet' te 2026-10-11T09:10:09.757Z How a lobsterman's privacy fight reached SCOTUS — and could ripple far beyond the water: 'Ain't over yet' One Maine lobsterman isn’t ready to give up after the Supreme Court declined to hear his challenge to a GPS vessel-tracking requirement Monday, fearing it threatens a way of life passed down for generations and could ripple across other industries. For decades, fifth-generation lobsterman Frank Thompson has driven his boat from Vinalhaven, a small island off the Maine coast, into deeper waters to set traps and haul in lobsters. Now, he says a GPS tracking mandate has turned his boat into a government-issued 24/7 "ankle bracelet," sparking a years-long legal battle over constant surveillance and Fourth Amendment rights. "This is totally against the Fourth Amendment, and somebody's got to hear it one way or another," Thompson told Fox News Digital. "This black box that they're putting aboard the boat is not legal, in my mind, and I'm not a criminal." Thompson, who also owns Fox Island Lobster Company with his wife and two sons, was out fishing earlier this month when one of his sons texted him, letting him know the Supreme Court had declined his petition to hear the case and left in place a First Circuit ruling that said the GPS tracking requirement did not violate the Fourth Amendment because lobstering is a closely regulated industry. THE SURVEILLANCE CAMERA ON YOUR STREET CORNER: LAWFUL SPYING OR CONSTITUTIONALLY PROBLEMATIC? "I just told myself, I said, ‘Well, it ain't over yet,’" he said. The mandate, requiring a small electronic box to be installed aboard federally licensed lobster boats in Maine, has flipped Thompson’s life upside down, he said. According to the Maine Department of Marine Resources (Maine DMR), the devices collect a boat’s location once per minute while moving and every six hours while docked. The tracking doesn’t stop there, Thompson said, with the device collecting data even during personal trips, a key concern in his case. Whether Thompson is traveling back to the mainland or having a family picnic, he said the device gives him "a creepy feeling" about who has his information and who is possibly watching. "Freedom is gone. What else can they do to us?" he said. Thompson said there is even more at stake. He described how his first boat ride happened two days after he was born and how his sons and grandchildren are following in his footsteps today. FLOCK SURVEILLANCE SPREADS ACROSS THE SOUTH AS RED-STATE LAWMAKERS SEEK TO AX '1984'-STYLE TRACKING TOOLS "Fishing's been in my blood and I always want to be on the water and it's something that I couldn't explain to you the feeling that you get out fishing and stuff," he said. "It's just a way of life." Thompson equated the feeling of pulling up the line of a trap and catching dozens of lobsters to "opening a present at Christmas time." "This is what I like," he said. Matthew Gilliam, Thompson’s attorney at Pacific Legal Foundation, said lobstermen must carry the trackers "as a condition of earning a living and keeping their lobster license," arguing the mandate infringes on Fourth Amendment rights "because it was warrantless." "That forced trespass was a violation of the Fourth Amendment because it's an unreasonable search and seizure," he said. Maine DMR implemented the rule in 2023 at the direction of the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission. State officials and conservationists have since backed the mandate as necessary to protect endangered North Atlantic right whales, monitor lobster populations and sustain the industry for years to come. "They're bringing it up because it's for the whales," Thompson said. "Well, the government's lying through their teeth like they always do, and I'm not a criminal." FORMER PENTAGON AI CHIEF WARNS FLOCK CAMERAS COULD CREATE 'CHINA-LIKE SURVEILLANCE STATE' IN THE US Shortly after the mandate took effect, a federal lawsuit was filed by Thompson and four fellow lobstermen, claiming the device subjected them to tracking they never consented to. A federal judge dismissed the case, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit upheld that decision, finding the tracking requirement did not violate the Fourth Amendment under an exception for closely regulated industries. Thompson said the privacy concerns extend beyond fisheries, with the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), which represents farmers and ranchers, standing behind his Supreme Court appeal. The group filed an amicus brief arguing the lower court’s reasoning could weaken Fourth Amendment protections for farmers, ranchers and others in regulated industries. "Everybody's got cell phones, they can track us if they want to," Thompson said. "But put a black box on a tractor, seeing how many days that he's out in the field or whatever, it's just, the independence is gone." Although the AFBF supported Thompson’s challenge, the Conservation Law Foundation, which filed a separate brief in favor of the tracking requirement during the First Circuit appeal, praised Monday’s decision. "This decision is a valuable step toward appropriately managing this iconic species," CLF Associate Attorney Sarah Shahabi said in a press release. Fox News Digital reached out to CLF for comment but did not hear back before publication. TEXAS GOV. GREG ABBOTT MOVES TO CUT STATE FUNDING FOR AI-POWERED FLOCK CAMERAS AMID PRIVACY CONCERNS Maine DMR also responded to the decision, maintaining its support for the tracking requirement in a statement on Monday. "DMR continues to believe this data collection requirement is critically important to the long-term sustainability of the lobster fishery and resource," Maine DMR Commissioner Carl Wilson wrote. Gilliam said that despite the Supreme Court declining to hear the case, lobstermen and others in regulated industries should not lose their privacy rights simply for doing their jobs. "Lobstermen and others have Fourth Amendment protections and we'll continue fighting against government overreach," he said. Thompson said he still wants answers about why the government is treating lobstermen like they have done something wrong. "We're just out there making a living and we're taking good care of the resource," Thompson said. "You can't believe the steps that we've done to take care of it and we don't get credit for nothing." He warned that if government regulations continue to be adopted across different fisheries, it could "ruin us." "People just don't think before they react to it," he said. "All these rules and regulations and it's taking away a lifestyle of generations of freedom." As for what comes next, Thompson said he will continue to work with his lawyers to try to remove the tracking requirement once and for all. "I'm fighting for everybody, not just myself," Thompson said. "I'm just fighting for freedom for everybody."

Katie Hobbs Awarded Over $6 Million In Government Contracts te 2026-10-11T07:50:17.690Z Law Firm With Close Ties To Gov. Katie Hobbs Awarded Over $6 Million In Government Contracts By Staff Reporter | A law firm with close ties to Gov. Katie Hobbs has benefited from a series of government contracts within her administration totaling over $6 million.  Coppersmith Brockelman PLC has been awarded legal counsel contracts for multiple state agencies, according to initial reporting by FOIAzona.  The law firm, which has been a go-to for top Democrats, is also providing legal counsel to Hobbs’ secretive inaugural fund. The firm has disclosed its defense of Hobbs’ inaugural fund as one in a list of conflict-of-interest matters considered adverse to state interests.  Two of the firm’s partners have been appointed to high court positions in recent years. In 2022, Roopali Desai was appointed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals; she administered Hobbs’ oath of office months later in January 2023. Earlier this year, Hobbs appointed Andy Gaona to the Arizona Court of Appeals. Last year, one of Hobbs’ general counsel members, Bo Dul, joined Coppersmith Brockelman. Prior to joining the Hobbs administration, Dul had been senior counsel at States United Democracy Center, where she represented Hobbs pro bono. Coppersmith Brockelman has contracts to provide counsel to the Department of Health Services (DHS), Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA), Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR), and the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS).  For all of the agencies, contracts were listed as “competition impracticable” — meaning the state didn’t undergo the competitive bidding process to award those contracts. For example, ADOA designated Coppersmith Brockelman in a 2024 competition impracticable procurement authorization form as having “specialized expertise” with DHS contracts. The law firm received two contracts in 2024, two contracts in 2025, and one so far this year.  The two contracts in 2024 were for DHS and ADOA.  One of the 2024 contracts was for DHS litigation claims related to Sober Living Assisted Facilities at the request of Hobbs’ office; that contract has an initial estimated cost of up to $3 million, with listed counsel rated at anywhere from $350 to $500 per hour, paralegals listed at $150 per hour, and a legal assistant listed at $50 per hour.  The other 2024 contract was for civil claims against ADOA following a disqualification notice filed by Attorney General Kris Mayes. The contract had an initial estimated cost of up to $2 million, with listed counsel rated from $350 to $400 per hour, a paralegal for $150 per hour, and a legal assistant for $50 per hour.  The two contracts in 2025 were for ADWR and AHCCCS.  One of the 2025 contracts was for ADWR related to two separate actions filed in Maricopa County Superior Court pertaining to groundwater rules and regulations. Counsel rates were $400 and $425 per hour, with an estimated cost of up to $120,000 per year.  The other 2025 contract was to provide miscellaneous legal counsel for AHCCCS, with an initial estimated cost of $100,000 that was extended earlier this year to $200,000. Counsel rates were listed as $350 to $475 per hour, and an associate for $275 per hour.  The contract this year concerned ADWR’s involvement in an appeal and special action lawsuit on the assured water supply program: Home Builders Association of Central Arizona v. Arizona Department of Water Resources. The contract listed an initial estimated cost of up to $600,000. The state justified competition in this contract as impracticable because ADWR’s in-house attorneys were handling other litigation as well as Hobbs’ policy priorities.

The message also threatened a bombing at a federal building, according to reporting on the federal criminal complaint. Jacob Aaron Hicks, 46, was arrested on Oct. 7 and charged with making an interstate threat to injure. He made his initial appearance in federal court on Oct. 8. The investigation began after Tucson television station KGUN9 received an email Sept. 23 threatening an imminent attack against the White House and other Washington, D.C., locations. The station said it forwarded the message to authorities. The FBI confirmed to KGUN9 that its referral prompted the investigation. TUCSON, Ariz. – Jacob Aaron Hicks, 46, of Tucson, was arrested yesterday and charged by criminal complaint with Making an Interstate Threat to Injure. Hicks is accused of sending an email on Sep.23, 2026, threatening to commit mass bombings at the White House and around the… — US Attorney Arizona (@USAO_AZ) October 8, 2026 The email claimed an attack would occur within 12 hours and that bombs were positioned around Washington. “Be advised. In 12 hours, there’ll be a strike against the White House. There’s bombs all around Washington D.C. This is not a joke. Be advised. You Americans will pay. Allah, to Allah,” a portion of the email read. Hicks claimed he had loaned his phone to a homeless person when the email was sent. Federal investigators identified Hicks as the alleged sender and located additional unsent drafts in the same email account, prosecutors said. Those drafts, also dated Sept. 23, were addressed to other news organizations and contained similar threats against the White House and surrounding areas. The investigation also uncovered a Sept. 2 text message allegedly sent by Hicks to a Tucson-area number. The message threatened an anthrax attack against Tucson, claimed possession of C4 for a federal-building bombing, and specified Sept. 11, 2026, at 5 a.m. The Justice Department did not report the discovery of explosives or anthrax. Investigators also identified earlier threats Hicks allegedly made while living in New York against the Wayne County Department of Social Services. Authorities there reportedly visited his address and warned that further threatening contact could result in charges. The account did not identify a conviction stemming from those earlier incidents. “We must take threats of violence like this one seriously,” U.S. Attorney Timothy Courchaine said. “I am grateful to our local news station for referring this threat to law enforcement, and to the FBI for addressing the situation quickly, professionally, and with the level of commitment it required.” The FBI is conducting the investigation with assistance from the U.S. Secret Service. Federal prosecutors in Tucson are handling the case. The Justice Department identified the prosecution as part of the National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 initiative, describing it as a White House-directed interagency effort addressing political violence while protecting First Amendment rights. The department said Joint Task Force Vanguard leads the initiative.

Hatten, who has spent more than three decades building his Arizona-based fitness company, announced his support for Petersen while highlighting the importance of an attorney general who understands the challenges facing business owners, employees, and families across the state. “Business owners need an attorney general who sees entrepreneurs as partners, not opponents,” said Hatten. “We’ll protect our neighborhoods and will stand with law enforcement.” 🚨 NEW AD FEATURING TOM HATTEN: BUSINESS OWNERS SUPPORT WARREN PETERSEN FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL Honored to have the support from NFIB, the voice of small business and the AZ Chamber.

Since then, the company has expanded across Arizona and now serves more than 150,000 members. The endorsement reflects Hatten’s support for Petersen’s approach to law enforcement, economic development, and the consistent application of state laws. “That’s why I’m supporting Warren Petersen for Attorney General. As attorney general, Warren will enforce the laws fairly and protect the people building Arizona’s economy,” Hatten said. “That matters to my employees and our customers who need safe neighborhoods and an affordable cost of living,” he added. “Please join me in voting Warren Petersen for Attorney General.” Petersen welcomed the endorsement, emphasizing Hatten’s experience as a business owner and the responsibilities that come with operating a company employing Arizona workers. “Tom knows what it takes to build something from the ground up and carry the responsibility of having employees and families count on you,” said Petersen. “I’m grateful for his trust.” Petersen also criticized incumbent Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes over energy policies, arguing that rising electricity costs place additional financial burdens on Arizona businesses and households. “When businesses face higher electric bills, those costs reach their employees and customers, too,” Petersen said. “Kris Mayes is fighting efforts to repeal costly energy mandates when families need relief.” “I will bring an approach grounded in the law, fair treatment, and respect for the people working to make a living here,” added Petersen. “That means protecting consumers from fraud, standing with law enforcement, and giving business owners confidence that the rules will be enforced consistently.” The endorsement comes as Petersen campaigns to unseat Mayes in the November general election, with recent polling indicating a closely contested race. According to a September survey published by Equis Research, Mayes and Petersen each received 45% support among Arizona likely voters, placing the candidates in a statistical tie.

What you got was two teams trading haymakers for a first half that ended with DeBoer going for a touchdown with just seconds remaining on the clock, taking a 17-14 lead into the locker room. ALABAMA PROVIDES UPDATE FOR SHOWDOWN AGAINST GEORGIA, AS SCHOOL, SEC AND TRUMP PLAN FOR HURRICANE ISAIAS This came after Georgia had found its way out of its own end of the field on two occasions for 10 points. A late-arriving crowd inside a a misty Bryant Denny Stadium watched two coaches trying to outmaneuver each other for four quarters, while Keelon Russell and Gunner Stockton traded shots on offense. What more could you ask for on a day filled with so much drama around college football? Heck, in the fourth quarter alone this evening, Georgia missed a field goal that would have given it the lead against Alabama, while Kentucky missed a 26-yard chip shot that would have tied the game with LSU. There were plenty of times in this game tonight where Georgia felt like the better football team, in all facets. But then, when you have such dynamic team like Alabama that can score on you within seconds, no lead seemed safe. In reality, we were watching two of the best teams in college football in Tuscaloosa, and it doesn’t matter that they both come from the SEC. You can add Ohio State to that list, while taking Texas off of it at the same time. We are reaching that point in the season where the frauds are starting to show themselves, and there wasn’t one on the field in Tuscaloosa. We can talk about Alabama and this team moving past the Saban era until we're blue in the face, and some will still be doing ten years from now. But, it's clear that we are finally seeing a squad garner its own identity, until mistakes caught up with them at the most inopportune time, as the Tide' muffed a punt with 10:44 remaining in the fourth quarter. ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE NAMES STARTER FOR WEEK ONE: GET TO KNOW BAMA QUARTERBACK KEELON RUSSELL While Georgia would retake the lead with a field goal on the ensuing drive, the officials would become part of the story late in the fourth quarter. Chaos reigned on Alabama's drive, as Georgia was not called for an obvious pass interference that would have resulted in the Tide extending its drive by 15-yards. But, as the boos reigned down from the Bryant Denny Stadium stands, there was nothing left for the Alabama fans to cheer about after the Bulldogs sacked Keelon Russell on the ensuing play. In that moment, tacked on with a personal foul against Dijon Lee that resulted in Georgia being able to take a knee and run the clock out, which once led to Kalen DeBoer being the most animated we've seen him during his time at Alabama. Until somebody beats them, it's the Dawgs. One way or the other, Kirby Smart has a football team that finds a way to win football games, which is not the case for other teams across the Southeastern Conference, or the sport. "I didn’t come here to lose," Kirby Smart said after the game. We witnessed a football team fighting through adversity, with the world wondering if Kirby Smart was going to get over some type of perceived hump. The problem for those pushing that message: Kirby Smart really does not care any longer. Following the win, Smart bolted straight for the visitors section, slinging his visor around in the air while the Georgia fans and Kirby's wife waited to embrace his family. "I'd rather make memories with my family, team and coaching staff...I just wanted to celebrate with my wife..She deserved a kiss for all that she puts up with from me." We are witnessing a new Kirby Smart, who is not worried about trying to silence critics or what ever is being written about him. That's a dangerous man, who seems to be fighting more for the respect from his family and those who encompass the football facility in Athens. "Do I wanna win championships? Hell yeah, but I have a lot more respect for them (family and players) to understand that there's a lot more important things in life." Welcome to the new era of Kirby Smart.

With just over two minutes to go, No. 2 Georgia was set for a third-and-2 on its own end of the field, but Alabama defensive back Dijon Lee committed an unacceptable penalty. Lee grabbed a Bulldog by his jersey and hit him with an open hand in the face twice. Lee was flagged, giving the Bulldogs an automatic first down. Alabama had no timeouts remaining, and Georgia was able to kneel out the clock Saturday. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Safe to say, Kalen DeBoer was not happy. When Lee reached the sideline , an irate DeBoer gave the player much more than an earful, and it appeared the coach told Lee that he "just cost us the d— game." At first, Lee wanted no part of DeBoer's message, but he ultimately didn't have much of a choice. UNRANKED OKLAHOMA KNOCKS OFF NO. 1 TEXAS IN WALK-OFF FASHION AFTER ARCH MANNING'S ROUGH 4TH QUARTER DeBoer had already been pushed to the brink — or so everyone thought — a couple of plays earlier. With just over three minutes to go, Alabama was looking for a score, and Georgia may have gotten away with defensive pass interference in the end zone. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER The next play, quarterback Keelon Russell was sacked out of field goal range, taking away any chance for the Crimson Tide to tie the game at 20 late. Thus, Alabama punted, and it never got the ball back. Thus, Georgia handed the Crimson Tide its first loss of the season, as the Bulldogs moved to 6-0.

John Fetterman as a Republican amid growing speculation te 2026-10-11T04:00:12.195Z Trump says he'd 'love' to have Sen. John Fetterman as a Republican amid growing speculation President Donald Trump praised Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., as a "great guy" on Saturday, saying he would welcome the Pennsylvania Democrat into the Republican Party. Trump was asked by a reporter after stepping off Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews whether he had spoken to Fetterman — who has repeatedly broken with Democrats during the current session of Congress — about becoming a Republican and whether he would welcome such a switch. "I'd love to see it. I think he's great," Trump responded. "It's going to be hard for him to get the nomination as a Democrat, but I'd love to have him as a Republican," he continued. REPUBLICANS SAY THEY'D WELCOME FETTERMAN AS GOP EYES BIGGER SENATE MAJORITY Trump described Fetterman as a "great guy" with "magnificent parents," whom he said he had spoken with previously. "He's a very solid person," Trump added. "He's smart and all that, but he's got great common sense." Trump also suggested that switching parties could benefit Fetterman politically. "If you look at the polls, he does better as a Republican than he does as a Democrat," he said. MAVERICK DEMOCRAT SURGES WITH REPUBLICANS AS HIS OWN PARTY TURNS ON HIM, STOKING TALK OF GOP SWITCH Trump's comments come as Fetterman has repeatedly broken with Democrats on key issues, including the Iran war and immigration, although he continues to vote with his party the vast majority of the time. Since joining the Senate in 2023, Fetterman has voted with Senate Democrats nearly 90% of the time. During the current session of Congress, however, that figure has fallen to just under 81%, Fox News Digital previously reported. Fetterman's occasional breaks with his party have fueled speculation in recent months about whether he might eventually become a Republican. He has also reportedly used Republican fundraising platforms to solicit donations and maintains a close friendship with Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala. Last month, Fetterman recorded a video introducing Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pa., at the Republican Midterm Convention. FETTERMAN TEASES WHERE HIS TRUE LOYALTY LIES AFTER SURPRISE APPEARANCE AT GOP CONVENTION He also mistakenly referred to himself as a lifelong Republican during an appearance at the Texas Tribune's TribFest last month. An attendee at the event asked why Fetterman did not run as an independent. "Because I'm a lifelong Republican," he said, before realizing his mistake. "I guarantee you that will break through. That will get clipped." Fox News Digital has reached out to Fetterman's office for comment. Fox News Digital's Alex Miller and Anders Hagstrom contributed to this report.

The Pentagon confirmed to Fox News Digital earlier this week that the execution of Hasan – a former Army major who was convicted of killing 13 people and wounding 32 others at Fort Hood in 2009 – was scheduled to be livestreamed on Dec. 3. Trump, however, said he had not decided whether to allow the military's first execution in more than six decades to be broadcast from Fort Hood. "He was vicious, he was violent," Trump told reporters at the White House when asked about Hasan's execution. VETERAN SHOT 7 TIMES IN FORT HOOD MASSACRE HAS A WARNING FOR AMERICANS PLANNING TO WATCH EXECUTION "There are two thoughts: don't show it and show it," he continued. "Because, you know, by showing it, maybe other people won't be doing what he did." "I'll make a decision, ultimately," Trump added. "I know what the military would like to do, but we'll make a decision." Fox News Digital previously reported that Trump approved the use of an Army firing squad following a recommendation from War Secretary Pete Hegseth. Trump's comments came one day after he was asked whether he had approved the decision to livestream the execution. MULTIPLE DEATH SENTENCES IN DIFFERENT STATES ARE SET TO BE CARRIED OUT WITHIN 24 HOURS: 'NOT VERY COMMON' "I wasn't involved in that decision, but I understand the decision," Trump said during an interview Friday with CNY Central following a rally in Syracuse. Trump added that the military wanted the execution to "serve as an example, and I understand that very well." Vice President JD Vance said Friday that he wasn't sure whether the execution would be livestreamed. "If it's ultimately livestreamed, I'm not going to be watching it," he told reporters. If Hasan's execution is carried out, it would be the first conducted by the U.S. military since 1961 and the first military execution by firing squad since 1945.

Well, they found a way: they did it again, and this time it was against the No. 10 LSU Tigers. The Wildcats pulled off a shocker, beating the Bayou Bengals 35-34 in overtime. The two teams traded scoring drives all game long, with both quarterbacks, LSU's Sam Leavitt and Kentucky's Kenny Minchy, both having big nights, throwing for 275 and 246 yards respectively. By the end of regulation, it was tied 27-27, with LSU getting the first possession in overtime. LANE KIFFIN SHARES WHY HE DECLINED TO HAVE A RUNNING CLOCK IN SECOND HALF OF LSU'S BLOWOUT WIN OVER MCNEESE Leavitt got things started with a 10-yard pass, and then followed it up with a 15-yard run to the house to give LSU the lead. Coach Lane Kiffin sent out his kicking team, and Scott Starzyk booted the extra point to give them a seven-point lead. WHO'S REALLY PLAYED THE BEST THUS FAR THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON? This is exactly what happened to Kentucky just one week earlier against the Gamecocks. Kentucky gave up a touchdown and extra point, and then countered with a touchdown of their own and a two-point conversion for the win. Running back CJ Baxter scored on a 1-yard run, and sure enough, Kentucky coach Will Stein kept his offense on the field. The two-point attempt wasn't without drama. Kiffin used a timeout, and then Stein used one of his own just in time to negate a crystal-clear false start on his Wildcats. When they finally got the ball off, LSU seemed to think they were going to pass it, which gave Minchy a ton of daylight to trot into the end zone for the win. What a way to end it... again! That made the Wildcats the first team in FBS history to win back-to-back overtime games by a single point. Will Stein should probably hit a roulette table the way his gambling has been paying off. That's a statement win for the Wildcats and a crushing defeat for the Wildcats, who have now lost two so far this season.

Guardians pitchers combined to strike out a nine-inning postseason record 21 White Sox batters, as they completed the comeback from down 2-0 in the American League Division Series to win Game 5, 2-0. Gavin Williams got the start for Cleveland and dominated from the jump - of the 21 batters he faced, 12 of them went down on strikes. He tossed 5.2 scoreless innings, allowing just one hit, two walks, and a hit batsman. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Williams was shoving all night, but Jose Ramirez gave him quite a nice cushion, golfing a two-run home run in the fourth inning. The pitch was 8.88 inches off the ground, the lowest for a postseason home run since at least 2008 and the lowest of Ramirez's career. That was all the Guardians needed, as Williams got five more outs, and the bullpen took care of the rest. Erik Sabrowski, Evan Gaddis, and Cade Smith combined to get the final 10 outs, striking out nine in the process (Sabrowski struck out the lone batter he faced, and Gaddis and Smith each punched out eight batters). AARON JUDGE'S FRUSTRATION WITH YANKEES IS UNDERSTANDABLE, BUT HIS 'ALL-IN' CRITICISM MISSES THE MARK Ramirez is a hero after what had been quite the down season. His .235 average, .320 on-base percentage, and .368 slugging percentage were all his lowest marks since 2015 when he was spending some of his time in Triple-A. He started out 0-for-6 in the series but went 5-for-12 in the final three, with two homers, a triple, and a double. The White Sox have been prone to the strikeout all season long, having the fifth-highest strikeout rate in the league, but this was another level. In the regular season, they struck out 24.1% of the time, but that number bumped up to 63.6% on Saturday. Cleveland lost the first two games of the series on their own home field, giving the White Sox a chance to clinch a series at home for the first time since 1906. But alas, they will now be headed home after Cleveland won three-consecutive elimination games. The Guardians will face the Tampa Bay Rays in the American League Championship Series, their second trip to the round in the last three seasons. The Rays are fresh off a sweep over their AL East rival New York Yankees. The ALCS begin Monday in Florida, and the winner of that will face either the Los Angeles Dodgers, who are trying to threepeat, or the Milwaukee Brewers, whose small-market operation will try to dethrone the champs.

Roman Reigns’ title defense against LA Knight got the adrenaline pumping, but the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match begged the question: "Should I check my blood pressure?" Tiffany Stratton, Roxanne Perez, Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, Jacy Jayne and Lash Legend each went above and beyond to create a certain level of danger in the ring you don’t normally see. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK PRO WRESTLING COVERAGE Stratton would be the last one standing. She survived the scramble around the ladder to grab the briefcase and become the second woman ever to win the match twice. She initially won in 2024 and cashed in on Nia Jax to win the WWE Women’s Championship. Now, she’s just as dangerous as ever with a guaranteed title shot in the palms of her hand. It was far from a cakewalk for "Tiffy Time." Her night started with a hard fall to the ground. Stratton was trying to give the WWE Universe a must-see moment almost at the jump. She climbed to the tallest ladder outside the ring and hoped to take out Legend, Ruca, Perez and Vice below. However, as she went for the swanton dive, it appeared she didn’t get enough momentum on her flip. Stratton’s legs caught the wrestlers below her but her head slammed onto the padded ground below her. Stratton immediately sat up and held her head for a few moments. The crowd nearly went silent as officials continuously checked on Stratton to make sure she was OK. It was a very scary fall that could have gone much, much worse than it did. Somehow, Stratton was able to continue on through the match and pick up the win. If the Stratton head bang wasn’t enough to have you scream "Oh s---!" in your living room or at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Ruca took the heart-stopping moments to a new level. Legend found herself in a precarious position. She was sprawled out on a ladder that was wedged between the ring apron and the announce table. She was a sitting duck and Ruca took advantage. Ruca jumped to the top of the turnbuckle, gave Legend a polite wave and hit a frog splash that sent both competitors through the ladder. Legend writhed in pain on the ground as Ruca took a second on her back to gather herself. Jacy Jayne told OutKick Dropkick she was going to be "Jacy in the Bank" by the end of the night. She wouldn’t share her strategy, but made clear she was studying up on each wrestler’s tendencies before going into the match. But nothing could have prepared her for her fall. Jayne went up to grab the briefcase with a ladder wedged in between the ropes and the one she was standing on as she tried to grasp at her title opportunity. Behind her was Vice, who wasn’t going to let Jayne get her mitts on that case. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Vice had Jayne in a chokehold. They fell backward and onto the perpendicular ladder. Instead of falling through it, the two superstars tipped the ladder up and they slid down it and out of the ring and onto the floor. Their backs scarred. Both seemed to be OK but they wouldn’t be factors through the final scramble. Ruca had a very good opportunity to get the briefcase herself. She and Stratton were on the ladder at the same time, fighting to gain some kind of advantage. Jayne came out of nowhere and pushed the ladder down. Stratton narrowly avoided getting tangled in the ropes. Ruca hung onto the hook that carried the briefcase. She then dropped from the hanger and landed on top of Jayne, Stratton and Legend.

Sorry, I don't make those rules. The Browns took on the division rival Pittsburgh Steelers this week. In the second quarter, running back Quinshon Judkins found the end zone, and that was reason enough to light up some pretend jazz cigarettes. BROWNS’ LATE FIELD GOAL SPOILS AARON RODGERS’ THURSDAY NIGHT FINALE, SEALS CLEVELAND'S THIRD STRAIGHT WIN The league, perhaps predictably, didn't dig that one. It was announced on Saturday that Judkins and QB Deshaun Watson had been fined a cool $14,397, while guard Austin Barber, who also snuck a hit off of the invisible blunt, had to pony up $6,944. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE This comes after the league rescinded fines levied against 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk and Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson for pretending to chug an imaginary drink. After meeting with the NFLPA, the league decided that drinking celebrations were okay, but obviously, smoking celebrations are still verboten. Which clears things up a little bit... but I think we need further experimentation. I think for the sake of understanding these rules, a player needs to score and then celebrate by pretending to sip a glass of scotch while puffing away on an imaginary cigar. Is that a drinking celebration or a smoking celebration? Just sounds like a gentleman detective unwinding in his study to me, but how does the NFL see it? Is it a fine? Is it not a fine? Is it a smaller fine because the drinking dilutes the smoking? Does it matter that they're just pretending to smoke something that doesn't have the "Reefer Madness" element to it? Fans and players need clarification on the nuances of smoking and drinking celebrations, and as far as I can tell, this is the only way to find out. ...Well, I guess someone could just ask, but my way is more fun.

On Saturday night at Money in the Bank, Roman Reigns made sure it was never. Reigns slammed the door shut on Knight’s World Heavyweight Championship hopes, successfully defending the title at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans in front of a hot crowd that was on the edge of their seat throughout the entire match. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK PRO WRESTLING COVERAGE Sure, fans appeared to be in Reigns’ corner. They acknowledged him. They chanted "OTC." But as Knight came with in a millisecond of pinning Reigns, the crowd turned. They wanted to see Knight pull off the impossible in what was the best match of his WWE career up to this point. Knight pulled out all the stops. He nailed a jumping superplex and put Reins into the Burning Hammer. He couldn’t get the pain. He ate multiple Superman punches and kept his shoulders off the mat. He avoided a spear and countered with a BFT. Outside of the ring, Knight avoided Reigns’ attempt to spear him through the barricade. Then, he powerbombed him through the announce table. The challenger brought Reigns back into the ring and still couldn’t get the win. The yelps were loud in my house as Knight nearly got the pinfall multiple times. All of Knight’s momentum came to a screeching halt when Reigns put him onto the ropes, attacking the groin area. Knight never recovered. He stumbled around the ring as Reigns hit him with two more Superman punches and the final spear. Reigns avoided Knight’s mind games. He looked Knight square in the eyes when Knight flipped him the bird in his own kind of acknowledgment.

Ole Miss students Aidan Hamilton, 18, and Robert Strang, 20, both had Mitrogynine, and the Schedule 1 controlled substances MGM-15, and MGPI present in their bloodstreams, according to toxicology reports revealed in a court filing reviewed by Fox News Digital. The revelations come ahead of the public release of the full toxicology report. The three substances, according to the document, are all found in Smax-Mango Breeze pills, which investigators determined Hamilton and Strang had in their possession at the time of their Sept. 21 deaths in Oxford. KRATOM INDUSTRY WARNS SYNTHETIC OPIOIDS SHOULD NOT BE CALLED 'KRATOM' "During the investigations, packaging associated with kratom-related products was discovered at both locations," Lafayette County Metro Narcotics said in a September statement. Specifically, officers found packages of Smax Mango Breeze MGM-15 with price tags reading $39.99, each with a black smudge on the first 9, at both sites. Law enforcement officers arrested 51-year-old Yahya Mohamed Mosleh and his son, 18-year-old Islam Mohamed Mosleh, on charges connected to a narcotics' investigation involving an Oxford tobacco shop, Puffs Vape, Tobacco and Beer Store. The men are facing federal drug charges after investigators say they traced purchases made by Strang and Hamilton at the store before their deaths, according to court documents. VAPE STORE CLERKS NEAR OLE MISS CAMPUS, JAILED FACING DRUG CHARGES According to court documents, agents made a controlled purchase of the substance from Yahya Mosleh, at which time he allegedly sold them a product that was hidden in a locked container, a product which the court documents say "had been banned by local ordinance for more than 4 years." Shortly after the purchase, agents obtained a search warrant and conducted a search of the store where they found "the same Smax Mango Breeze MGM-15 – with the exact same packaging, exact same ingredients and exact same price tag, of $39.99 with a smudge on the 9." After testing the substances in a lab, agents determined the products contained Schedule 1 controlled substances – MGM-15 and MGPI. Furthermore, Strang's and Hamilton's bank records show they both made purchases at Puffs on the same date, according to the court documents. "There is also probable cause to believe these drugs caused two overdose deaths in Oxford, Mississippi. The Government proved that there was probable cause that the laboratory-tested drugs taken by the two overdose victims were the same type of drugs that were seized from the Moslehs during a court-authorized search warrant," the court documents read. POLICE NEAR OLE MISS RESPOND TO SUSPECTED OVERDOSE, SAY 'NOT STUDENT-RELATED' The court documents also note that Yahya made the sale of the products to a confidential informant after Strang's and Hamilton's deaths, even warning the informant that people had been dying from the product. "As the purchase was being made, Yahya Mosleh even told the informant that people were dying from similar products and to be careful. He additionally attempted to conceal his sale when other third parties entered the store, only completing it to the informant when those parties had exited," the report read. Yahya Mosleh will remain in custody pending trial after a federal judge found him to be "a flight risk with ties to another country," according to the court documents. Islam Mosleh will be released on a $20,000 unsecured bond with conditions that include a curfew and location monitoring, according to the documents. The owner of Puffs was indicted by a state grand jury in Lafayette County, Mississippi, for distribution of a controlled substance years ago. However, he absconded and investigators believe he is now running the store remotely from Egypt, according to the documents. Fox News Digital contacted the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi for comment. Fox News Digital's Adam Sabes and Bradford Betz contributed to this report.

FIVE IMPORTANT COLLEGE FOOTBALL QUESTIONS THAT WILL BE ANSWERED AFTER THIS WEEKEND'S SLATE However, their attempt at a 2-point conversion was no good, and it would come back to haunt them. UCLA added a touchdown in the second quarter, and another in the fourth to go up 17-6, and that's when Oregon coach Dan Lanning decided to give Raiola — who was just 6/19 passing on the day for 43 yards and two interceptions — in favor of senior Brock Thomas. However, the call to bring in the third-string signal caller proved to be a good one as Thomas led the Ducks downfield for a field goal with just over five minutes left in the game. He then hit wide receiver Evan Stewart in the end zone to make the game 17-15 with a little over two minutes left. So... remember that failed 2-point conversion in the first quarter? That meant that the best way to give themselves a chance at the win was to take another crack at two points, and, well... The Ducks did wind up getting the ball back with an opportunity to take the lead, but the Bruins managed to put a stop to it for the win. That's a massive, statement win for the Bruins, and a tough second loss for the Ducks. This one is going to make some waves in the rankings, in the Big Ten standings, and the College Football Playoff picture. But for now, UCLA is clearly enjoying an important road win.

Instead, the unranked Oklahoma Sooners took advantage of a missed field goal in the final minutes and two fourth-quarter interceptions by Arch Manning to pull off a wild 27-24 upset victory in Dallas. The Red River Rivalry looked like it would be all Texas early, as Arch Manning made one of his better plays, running to his left and throwing a 41-yard touchdown. Oklahoma matched it in the next quarter, but Texas was able to take a 17-7 lead at the half.

Both teams exchanged punts yet again, but on Texas’ second drive of the fourth quarter, Manning overthrew a receiver, and it was picked off by Peyton Bowen and taken to the house for a 42-yard pick-6, giving Oklahoma a 24-17 lead with 10:07 to go.

Manning found Jermaine Bishop Jr. two plays later to tie the score with 6:32 remaining. Texas then forced a punt after four plays and were in the driver's seat. The Longhorns quickly got on the other side of the field, but they had to settle for a 52-yard field goal try - however, it went wide-right, and it was Oklahoma ball with 1:54 to go at their own 35.

During a recent appearance on the "Dear Chelsea" podcast, the 50-year-old actress discussed what it was like falling in love with her boyfriend, Matthew Rhys, while filming the early seasons of "The Americans." "We were like falling in love and staying up all night and like having sex all the time and just like wearing disguises, like, I'm f---ing [in] crazy wigs and like wearing pearls," she said on the podcast. "When have you ever worn pearls and like, f---ing in trailers and f---ing everywhere. I mean, it was insanity. It was so fun and sneaky, and sexy, and so good." Although the two had met briefly prior to working together, they reconnected in 2012 to film the first season of "The Americans" and their relationship became public in April 2014 after they first sparked dating rumors in late 2013. Together they share their son Sam, who they welcomed in May 2016. Russell is also a mother to her two kids — River and Willa — from her previous marriage to Shane Deary. While the couple have been together for over a decade, Russell told podcast host, Chelsea Handler, that she doesn't see the need to marry Rhys, noting, "I’ve had a big party. I get to dress up all the time." "People used to have to be married to have a credit card. We can have credit cards now," Russell said. "I don’t need my last name to go away. I’m cool. If you wanna be here, be here. If you don’t, that’s cool too." She added that since the two share a child, to her that means "forever" and that she finds marriage a bit "antiquated."

After Rhys recently neglected to thank Russell in his acceptance speeches at the Emmy Awards, where he won for his work on both "Widow's Bay" and "The Beast In Me," Handler suggested that when Russell eventually wins for her role in "The Diplomat," she thanks all her ex-boyfriends and leaves Rhys out. PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE While many were concerned by Rhys' omission, Russell explained she told him he didn't have to thank her, as he told her he was most nervous about having to make the speech if he won. "I said, ‘Take me off your plate. Like, you don’t have to thank me. I know you love me,’" she revealed. There's so many people you have to thank. I don’t care if you want to thank the dog walker. You do whatever you want to do. That’s your minute. That’s your 45 seconds. So I just said, 'Take me off your plate.' And we kind of said to each other, 'We don’t have to thank each other.'"
