"The president is defiant, and he always is optimistic," Leavitt said this week in a Fox News Digital interview in her home state of New Hampshire. The GOP is fighting political history, as the party in power in Washington has traditionally lost seats during midterm election years. Republicans also face a challenging campaign 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 increasingly negative approval ratings. KAROLINE LEAVITT SAYS TRUMP NEEDS A 'FIGHTER' AS SHE WEIGHS IN ON HER SUCCESSOR'S QUICK DEPARTURE Leavitt said Trump "totally understands that history is not on the Republican side right now if you just frankly look at the history books, but that's not stopping him from going out and barnstorming the country. He's been everywhere this week from North Carolina to South Carolina. Be in Michigan again this weekend." Republicans are also facing a low propensity problem in the midterms - MAGA supporters who don't always vote when Trump isn't on the ballot. "The president is getting out there and reminding voters what's at stake in this election and why it's so important to get out and vote in the midterms," Leavitt noted. "He's being frank and honest with his voters that 'I know you don't turn out in midterm cycles, but we need you to this time." SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER Democrats appear energized as Election Day nears. "The Republicans are running scared!" Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin said recently in a social media post. "They are increasingly spending more and more money in the reddest of red areas in an attempt to hold on. We have them on the run - all gas, no brakes." DEMOCRACY 2026: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB But Leavitt, taking a page from the GOP midterm playbook, argued that "this election is a contrast between, between commonsense Republican conservative candidates who believe in cutting taxes, securing the border, putting American citizens over illegal aliens, and radical extreme liberal crazy candidates, some of the most radical Democrats we've ever seen run in the history of our country." And pointing to the GOP's fundraising superiority over Democratic Party groups, Leavitt added, "We have a huge cash advantage across the country. We are making sure voters understand again what's at stake in this election and why it's so important that we win."

You can read Part 1 here. MAINEVILLE, OHIO — A mosque rising amid rural homes and farmland in southwest Ohio has become a focal point in the community’s growing concerns over an influx of foreign-owned trucking companies and trucking fraud, with a Fox News Digital review revealing significant financial ties between the mosque, trucking companies and the government of Uzbekistan. Roughly one mile north of the main intersection in Maineville, a small Warren County village with about 1,400 residents, sits the Islamic Center of Maineville, which has been under construction for the past four years following its approval by Hamilton Township in April 2022. Fox News Digital found that the mosque received substantial donations from trucking companies that government records show were cited for serious safety and compliance violations, while the mosque’s own Telegram channel displayed associations with people identified as current or former Uzbek officials. For years, the Islamic Center of Maineville has posted on Telegram to its 3,600 members, courting donations, acknowledging partnerships with trucking companies, and even sharing screenshots of donations from local trucking companies, owned by Uzbeks, totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars. HOW AN UZBEK TRUCK DRIVER’S FATAL CRASH EXPOSED TROUBLING FRAUD TREND IN MIDDLE AMERICA: ‘CHAMELEON CARRIERS’ Buraq Limited, a Springboro trucking company associated with Rukhshona Sultonova, donated at least $28,000 to the Islamic Center across 28 gifts, according to Telegram screenshots reviewed by Fox News Digital. A review of the company’s records found dozens of reported violations, including multiple English-proficiency violations, four ELD (electronic logging device) violations, three invalid-CDL violations, four expired medical cards and four hours-of-service violations.  Premier Trucking Group Inc., owned by Sam Avazov, has received over 100 total violations, including for unsafe driving and invalid CDLs. In September, the Islamic Center posted a screenshot of a $1,000 donation from Premier Trucking Group, which has donated at least $25,000 to the mosque. OUT OF CONTROL, UNQUALIFIED ILLEGAL ALIEN TRUCKERS ENDANGERING KIDS ON US ROADS, INSIDER WARNS: ‘JUST MADNESS’ Foko Logistics LLC, owned by Abubakr Olimov and based in Hilliard, donated $20,000 in a single gift to the mosque, and had 52 violations across 37 inspections in FMCSA’s current 24-month record. The company had vehicle-maintenance violations involving damaged brake hoses, an inoperable tractor-protection valve and severely underinflated tires. Ten of its 24 vehicle inspections resulted in an out-of-service designation, a rate of 41.7%. Maca Transportation and Services LLC, based in Dayton and owned by Muminkhuja Kholkhujaev, donated at least $7,000 across eight gifts. FMCSA’s records show 120 violations across 72 inspections, including an English-proficiency failure and multiple false or incomplete hours-of-service records. The company also had serious brake, tire, and other vehicle-maintenance violations, with 14 of 36 vehicle inspections resulting in an out-of-service designation, or 38.9%. One trucking company that gave $150,000 to the mosque and helped organize the overall fundraising effort , Phoenix Cargo, told Fox News Digital the mosque approached the company multiple times asking for donations but said the $150,000 figure the company ultimately donated "represents only a fraction of the mosque's total construction budget" and that "Phoenix Cargo is not even among the project's top 100 donors." Phoenix Cargo has been cited hundreds of times for safety violations, including English proficiency, ELD tampering, and unsafe driving violations. Fox News Digital reached out to the mosque for comment but did not receive a response. Earlier this month, the Islamic Center said it is "committed to operating responsibly and in accordance with applicable law." "The fundraising for the Islamic Center concerns me because a large percentage of the Uzbek truck companies that donate have been repeatedly cited for the same kinds of serious inspection violations," Nodawolf, an online researcher who lives in the area and has been documenting alleged trucking fraud in southwest Ohio for months and was granted anonymity due to death threats he's received, said. "Those violations suggest a pattern of non-compliance with our laws and regulations among the donors, which is troubling given the community’s concentration in the freight industry in Maineville." Fox News Digital also asked the mosque if an administrator for their Telegram channel with the name "Bek A" is Bekhzod Asrarov, an Uzbek truck driver living in Maineville who authorities say struck and killed 21-year-old Ohio soccer player Tobias "Toby" Forsythe earlier this year. Asrarov was unable to communicate effectively in English at the scene, according to authorities, and has been accused of removing and concealing his dashcam after the crash. ICE LAUNCHES CDL FRAUD TIPLINE AS DHS HIGHLIGHTS DEADLY CRASHES INVOLVING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS The mosque did not provide a response. The Islamic Center’s website says it does "not solicit donations from any foreign government, organization, association, partnership or individual or any agent thereof" and that "any such attempt" should be reported to the mosque immediately. However, the organization's Telegram account suggests close ties with the government of Uzbekistan, specifically when it comes to trucking companies. Hamkor Uz Cincinnati Association is a nonprofit organization established in 2020 to unite Uzbeks in the Cincinnati area and support community projects, including the construction of religious and cultural centers. Hamilton Township records identify Hamkor as the owner of the roughly 6.7-acre property where the Islamic Center of Maineville is being built. Telegram screenshots reviewed by Fox News Digital show the organization’s ties to former Uzbek government officials. One image shows the Mason office of Erkinbay Abdulla, with an accompanying message describing him as a former Uzbek official who "creates the trucking companies." Another screenshot contains a community statement attributed to Sukhrob Norbekov, whom an accompanying message identifies as another former Uzbek official who represents the mosque. The material places officials linked to Uzbekistan alongside an organization involved in the mosque project and individuals involved in creating local trucking companies. Current Uzbek officials also appear to be involved with the mosque and local trucking industry via the central Asian nation’s Ministry of Digital Technologies, according to photos posted on the mosque’s Telegram. The screenshots show a list of a six-member Uzbek delegation that traveled to the United States in April 2025, including Ambassador Furqat Sidiqov, regional government officials, and three officials from the Ministry of Digital Technologies. Separate posts invite entrepreneurs and truck-company managers to an April 19 IT conference hosted by Hamkor Uz Cincinnati at a banquet hall in Loveland, Ohio. TRUMP ADMIN INVESTIGATING 75 TRUCK DRIVER SCHOOLS FOR FRAUD, HELPING NON-CITIZENS GET LICENSES Additionally, a review of the Hamkor Uz Telegram channel, with current and former Uzbek government officials as administrators, showed advertisements for local trucking companies, removable truck signs, English courses for truck driving school, and legal counseling. Other posts include the owner of the mosque providing guidance on how to understand "Shariah compliant banking" and a post on "speaking English with the police" and how to "learn on the road." Nodawolf said the ties to the government of Uzbekistan are troubling to him "because these Uzbek trucking companies appear to be tightly organized, with patterns that look almost like a shared blueprint." "Given the documented safety and compliance problems in many of these companies, it’s reasonable to ask whether gaps in U.S. regulations are being systematically exploited," he added. Several locals who spoke to Fox News Digital said they have expressed their concerns about the rise in Uzbek trucking companies and potential safety gaps that could come along with it to their elected officials but have largely been ignored. "They're scared, I think they recognize that they could be called names, they can recognize they could be called out for, you know, like, Islamophobic or racist or things, but it's not that at all," a resident from nearby Middletown, Ohio, which has also experienced an influx of foreign-owned trucking companies, who posts information about trucking companies online under the name GHOSTOPSUZ, told Fox News Digital. One lawmaker who has taken action against trucking fraud is Ohio Republican state Rep. Michelle Teska, who represents most of Warren County, including Maineville, and has introduced legislation to strengthen commercial-driver licensing requirements, including a measure requiring driver examinations to be administered in English, which she told Fox News Digital addresses the "low-hanging fruit of the problem." "I did some research and basically found out that you can get your driver's license and your CDL license in the state of Ohio and you can have that test in 10 different languages," Teska said. "So that, to me, common sense says that's insanity." Teska says she has seen the problem "firsthand" while driving around her district, calling it "rampant." "This past weekend, I was at an event in Warren County and I was at an event that is right across the street from the BMV and I was just kind of observing a gentleman pulling in a semi truck cab into the parking lot on a Saturday at the BMV taking up four spaces, clearly had no idea how to drive the truck," Teska explained. "So I walked over to the BMV and spoke to this person and kind of confronted him and said, hey, do you speak English? He replied, no, I don't speak English. Asked him where he was from. He was from Uzbekistan. So it was crazy because I was watching it all take place live." Authorities in Warren County have been ramping up their presence in the trucking industry and on the roads in recent weeks, including a crackdown over the last week. "The Hamilton Township Police Department actively monitors traffic safety concerns within our jurisdiction and works with our public safety partners to address violations and unsafe driving behaviors when identified," a spokesperson for Hamilton Township said. "In fact, our officers recently participated in a targeted traffic enforcement initiative focused on commercial motor vehicles, working alongside partner agencies to identify safety violations and improve roadway safety. We will continue to enforce applicable laws and take appropriate action when circumstances warrant." Warren County Prosecutor David Fornshell stressed there is nothing inherently wrong with mosque fundraising and he has not received any information that any laws have been broken. He told Fox News Digital, however, that clearly "there’s something going on" within the Uzbek community in southwest Ohio that "warrants at least awareness on the part of law enforcement." "It's disproportionate to what we see with any other immigrant community," Fornshell said. Since 2021, Fornshell said the area has seen an "influx of cases involving Uzbeks" that has prompted the need to hire more court interpreters and city employees who speak the language, particularly in the lower courts that deal with traffic offenses. "I would say hardly a week goes by where we don't have some felony case involving an Uzbek, it's pretty frequent at this point," Fornshell said. Census data from 2024 shows that roughly 1,500 people born in Uzbekistan live in Greater Cincinnati, while about 3,800 Uzbekistan-born residents live across Ohio. Uzbek community leaders say the actual population is significantly higher, estimating that roughly 4,000 Uzbek families live in southern Ohio, including U.S.-born children. "This is our motherland now, from now on," Hamkor Uz board member Nodirjon Ernazarov told the Cincinnati Enquirer through a translator last week in a story highlighting the Uzbek population’s efforts to become part of the community. The article explains that the influx of Uzbeks was driven, in part, by the area’s proximity to the trucking industry. "Uzbek people are very hardworking people," Ernazarov added. "So this mosque is (being built) by the help of all Uzbeks." The article does not mention that Ernazarov also owns a trucking company, Ray Cargo Corp., which has donated tens of thousands of dollars to the mosque and has been cited for numerous safety violations, including unsafe driving and driver fitness. Fox News Digital reached out to every trucking company mentioned in the article for comment.

The biggest pain may fall on ordinary citizens te 2026-10-25T08:20:05.575Z Iran’s oil lifeline is drying up. The biggest pain may fall on ordinary citizens Iran is approaching a financial reckoning as a U.S. naval blockade threatens to wipe out its seaborne crude oil revenues by mid-December — but the economic pain may fall more heavily on ordinary Iranians than on the military Washington is trying to constrain. Iran’s trackable floating oil inventory outside the U.S. blockade zone has fallen to zero, according to energy intelligence firm Kpler, which projects that Tehran's crude revenues could dry up by the middle of December as outstanding payments are settled. But the loss of oil revenue would not necessarily translate into an immediate military funding crisis. Tehran could shield military spending while cutting civilian programs, allowing inflation to erode purchasing power and drawing on alternative revenue sources. BESSENT SAYS IRAN WILL HAVE 'NOTHING LEFT TO TRADE' WITHIN TWO WEEKS AS OIL LIFELINE DRIES UP That complicates Washington's pressure campaign: The blockade may deprive Tehran of one of its biggest sources of cash without immediately starving the military and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of the money they need to operate. Oil directly accounts for roughly 30% of Iran's government budget, according to Gregory Brew, a senior Iran and energy analyst at Eurasia Group, and Miad Maleki, an Iran sanctions and financial expert at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Iran entered the year expecting to export about 1.7 million barrels per day at roughly $54 per barrel, Brew said. Actual exports have fallen short of that target, though higher oil prices allowed Tehran to build some financial cushion. Maleki estimated that oil and refined petroleum products account for between 50% and 60% of regime revenue when indirect income is included. Still, the December deadline is not a date on which Iran suddenly runs out of money. "The December timeline is more of a cash flow kind of disruption, and not really a collapse state," Maleki told Fox News Digital. Tehran has so far allowed inflation and the weakening rial to absorb some of the pressure rather than abruptly stopping government salaries or allowing widespread shortages to develop. "The purchasing power of Iranians incrementally declines," Maleki said. Losing a revenue stream that covers roughly 30% of the government budget would nevertheless force increasingly difficult choices. Tehran can cut spending, borrow more or run larger deficits. Deeper cuts could hit subsidies, pensions and other government programs, while deficit spending risks fueling already high inflation. "There's already expectations that government spending next year is going to be greatly reduced," Brew said . "A bigger chunk of the budget is likely going to be met through borrowing and deficit spending, which is of course going to add to inflation." IRAN LOSES KEY ECONOMIC LIFELINE IN MIDDLE EAST THAT TRUMP'S SANCTIONS COULDN'T REACH AS DEADLOCK PERSISTS Military spending, however, could prove more resistant. "There is a broad expectation that non-military spending is going to be slashed significantly, while military spending is going to be maintained and might even increase because of the overall war footing that the Iranian regime has been put on," Brew said. Iran is already spending resources to rebuild missile production facilities and other military infrastructure, expand underground facilities and repair damage to its nuclear program, Brew said. Iran's armed forces also have a direct connection to the country's oil trade. US TARGETS CHINESE REFINERY IN SWEEPING IRAN OIL CRACKDOWN, SANCTIONS ‘SHADOW FLEET’ TANKERS The Treasury Department said last year that Tehran was allocating roughly 200,000 barrels of crude per day to its armed forces, with the value of planned allocations expected to exceed $10 billion annually. Military organizations can sell allocated oil abroad and use the proceeds themselves. Maleki said those sales have helped finance equipment, chemicals and weapons components and support Iran-backed groups including Hezbollah and Hamas. The IRGC also draws revenue from smuggling, black-market commerce and sanctions-evasion networks outside the formal state budget. Brew said its economic influence has expanded as sanctions have squeezed Iran's private economy. "If the IRGC is the single most important institution in the country, and if it largely benefits from sanctions and blockades and various forms of U.S. economic pressure, then there's a world in which it benefits from this new environment rather than being squeezed like the overall government budget," Brew said. Iran's oil squeeze has been months in the making. Tehran held roughly 135 million barrels of crude in floating storage before the war began in February, providing a stockpile it could continue selling after U.S. forces restricted new exports. That offshore inventory has now been exhausted. U.S. Central Command estimates the blockade has already denied Tehran at least $25 billion in oil revenue. Buyers of Iranian crude typically settle payments one to two months after delivery, creating the lag between the disappearance of Iran's floating inventory and Kpler's projected revenue cutoff in December. Even if that projection broadly holds, however, Iran is unlikely to stop earning money from hydrocarbons altogether. Smaller quantities of oil can still move overland by truck and rail and across the Caspian Sea, while refined petroleum and petrochemical products can travel through routes outside the seaborne crude trade targeted by the blockade. "While the amount of Iranian oil that can be tracked has fallen to zero, it's unlikely Iran's oil exports completely fall to nothing," Brew said. "The amount will likely be fairly small, but it won't be completely zeroed." Both experts said an agreement with Washington allowing Iranian tankers to resume leaving the Persian Gulf could reverse the trajectory . Without a deal or relaxation of the blockade, the financial pressure is expected to build into next year. The bigger test may arrive in March, when Iran begins its new fiscal year and must reconcile its spending plans with dramatically lower oil income. "There's going to be a fiscal squeeze, and there's going to be pressure around the release of the new budget," Brew said. "There's going to be economic unrest, potentially even economic turmoil as the government rolls out spending cuts." By then, Tehran could have gone months without its traditional seaborne crude income, forcing the regime to decide how much of the financial squeeze it is willing to pass on to its population while preserving spending elsewhere.

In a recent analysis, Goldwater Senior Attorney Scott Day Freeman argues that the program creates financial incentives for collecting traffic fines and raises questions about motorists’ ability to contest alleged violations. Goldwater supports Prop 319, which would require local voter approval for continued operation of qualifying photo enforcement programs. Phoenix began issuing photo enforcement citations March 25, following a 30-day warning period. The city reported that nine corridor cameras recorded more than 70,000 speeding events during that warning period. The broader program includes 17 speed-monitoring cameras. The mayor and City Council approved it in October 2024 as part of Phoenix’s Vision Zero Road Safety Action Plan. The city contracts with third-party vendor Verra Mobility to operate the equipment. The payment arrangement includes $3,000 per camera per month and $20 for each paid ticket. For 17 cameras, the monthly equipment payments would total $51,000, or $612,000 over a full year, before per-ticket payments. Goldwater argues that tying part of the contractor’s compensation to collected citations creates an incentive to increase ticket volume and pursue payment. Phoenix describes the program as a cost-recovery operation, with citation revenue covering city personnel and vendor expenses. Its published guidance says remaining funds will support the Vision Zero plan. The city also says Phoenix police review recorded events and determine whether citations should be issued. Where the Surcharges Go Goldwater’s criticism also focuses prominently on where the court surcharges go. Under A.R.S. § 16-954, Arizona imposes an additional 10% surcharge on covered civil and criminal fines and penalties and deposits the proceeds into the Citizens Clean Elections Fund. The statute also addresses funding available to qualifying participating candidates and requires transfers of money designated as excess to the state’s general fund. A separate statute, A.R.S. § 16-976, establishes an additional 1% surcharge deposited into a separate account within the Clean Elections Fund. That account supports implementation and enforcement of campaign finance disclosure requirements, with unused money available for other commission-approved purposes. The law requires suspension of the surcharge for one to three years if the commission determines it can perform the required functions during that period without the additional revenue. “A safety tool that also subsidizes campaigns is not a neutral safety tool. It’s a political campaign financing tool,” Freeman said. Freeman also questioned whether the revived cameras have produced a measurable reduction in traffic deaths and argued that delayed notices can make it harder for drivers to reconstruct road conditions or preserve evidence relevant to their defense. Proposition 319, a legislative referral addressing photo enforcement, could change the legal landscape for similar future programs. The official ballot description says the measure would prohibit state agencies and local governments from using the systems unless provided for by contract as of Dec. 31, 2026, and require local voter approval for continued operation. The text of the corresponding Senate Concurrent Resolution 1004 specifies that a signed operating contract must be in place on or before that date. Local authorities with qualifying contracts would have to seek voter approval at the next general election immediately following the provision’s effective date. If voters reject continued operation, the local authority would have to stop using the system within 90 days of that election. Approval would allow operation for 10 years, with subsequent voter approval required every decade. Approval of Proposition 319 would therefore establish a separate local decision point on existing programs. Phoenix’s cameras would not automatically shut down if the statewide measure passed.

Ayala’s Mini Market, a money services business, was raided by the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and Internal Revenue Services (IRS) last February as part of a coordinated sting on 19 small businesses throughout the Valley. Federal agents took an untold amount of cash, along with five phones, three computers, and business documents including cwhecks and receipts. HSI and the IRS obtained warrants marked under seal based on suspicion of structuring, a crime of evading reporting or recordkeeping requirements by breaking up large transactions into multiple small ones.  The Institute for Justice (IJ) is suing the federal government on behalf of Mario Ayala, the owner of Ayala’s Mini Market. IJ filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona on Tuesday.  IJ stated that Ayala was never advised of the crimes he allegedly committed or given a way to contest the seizure of his property. IJ attorney Betsy Sanz stated in a press release announcing the lawsuit that the seizure is unconstitutional and illegal.   “The government can’t take your stuff, disappear, and then never explain itself,” said Sanz. “For over a year and a half, the government has been holding Mario’s money and property. This prolonged seizure violates the Fourth Amendment and federal law. The government cannot hold onto your property indefinitely without explanation so it can eventually take it permanently using civil forfeiture.”  IJ is arguing that the seizure violates the Fourth Amendment by holding property indefinitely without justification; the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act, which requires governmental forfeiture notices within 90 days of property seizure; and the Clyde-Hirsch-Sowers Act, which prohibits property seizures where structuring is the only offense for which evidence exists.  The organization requested the return of Ayala’s property and the production of the complete warrant and application for the warrant with the affidavit supporting it.  Ayala said Ayala’s Mini Market is his American dream and how he provides for his family. According to Ayala, the seizure continues to cause harm to his family.  “This business is my American Dream and the government took years of my hard work without telling me what I did,” said Ayala. “This raid hurt me and my family. I hope this lawsuit gets my money back and helps make sure this doesn’t happen to anyone else.”  IJ considers civil forfeiture one of their pillars, or issues on which they take action; the organization aims to abolish civil forfeiture entirely. Civil forfeiture is when government entities seize personal property without charges or a criminal conviction.  Estimates in recent years reflect that law enforcement seizes tens of millions of dollars in cash and property every single year in Arizona. IJ estimated that Arizona brought in at least $729 million in state and federal forfeiture revenue from 2000 to 2023.  IJ also found that, from 2019 to 2023, half of the currency forfeitures in Arizona were less than $1,271. Nearly two-thirds of forfeitures were currency in that same time period.  IJ awarded Arizona a “D-” rating for its civil forfeiture laws. AZ Free News is your #1 source for Arizona news and politics.

The Joint Economic Committee’s (JEC) monthly State Employment Update reported that unemployment fell in 17 states and D.C., rose in nine states, and remained unchanged in 24 states. Nationally, nonfarm payroll jobs, the unemployment rate, and the labor force participation rate all increased from August to September.  Arizona was one of the 24 states to experience an unchanged unemployment rate at 4.9%. In August, JEC reported that Arizona lost 5,500 net payroll jobs, compared to 300 last month.  The national unemployment rate is 4.2%. Over the past 12 months, the state added nearly 19,000 net payroll jobs and the unemployment rate rose by 0.5% from 4.4%.  Additionally, Arizona’s nonfarm payroll employment has increased in eight of the past 12 months. The state ranks 21st in the nation for percentage gain in nonfarm payroll employment over the past 12 months.  The state also lost 2,800 private sector jobs in September, and 4,500 private sector jobs in August.  Last month, employment fell by nearly 7,600; over the past 12 months, employment has fallen by nearly 133,000.  The state’s labor force participation rate also fell, from 59.9% to 59.7% last month, marking a 10-year low for the state. In the past 12 months, the participation rate has fallen by 2.4%. With these rates, Arizona ranks 37th in the nation for labor force participation.  Arizona experienced a 10-year high for its labor force participation rate in November 2019, at 62.2%. From August to September, the best performing sectors for employment were state and local government, an addition of 2,600 jobs, followed by other services, an addition of 600 jobs. The worst performing sectors were professional and business services, a loss of 1,600 jobs, and private education and health services, a loss of 1,300 jobs.  From September 2025 to September 2026, the best performing sectors for employment were private education and health services, an addition of 14,700 jobs, and professional and business services, an addition of 7,800 jobs. The worst performing sectors were leisure and hospitality, a loss of 8,800 jobs, and financial activities, a loss of 6,700 jobs.  Creeping and stagnant unemployment struggles have exacerbated worsening affordability issues, felt this year more than ever. Affordability is a key issue for both Republicans and Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections; both parties have blamed the other for the growing lack of affordability that has hit Arizona especially hard. Data analysis over the summer reported that Arizona is among the worst affected by the affordability crisis. More Arizona households have reported carrying above-average debt, and falling behind on payments at rates above the national average.  Arizona sits in the bottom half of the nation for average credit score, 666, and experienced the 10th-fastest drop in average household credit score among all states in 2025.  Auto loan debt was reported at 7% higher, credit card debt is 8% higher, and mortgage debt is 22% higher than the national average.  AZ Free News is your #1 source for Arizona news and politics.

That's because the Milwaukee Brewers are two wins away from their first World Series title after a wild comeback in Game 2 in their home stadium. The Rays got jumping early after their Game 1 loss on Friday, scoring four runs in the first with RBI singles by Chandler Simpson and Junior Caminero and then a two-run jack by Liam Hicks. The Brewers chipped away to cut the deficit in half in the bottom of the first, as William Contreras and Garrett Mitchell each had an RBI single. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE The starting pitchers in Logan Henderson and Drew Rasmussen combined to throw just 6.2 innings — Rasmussen was taken out in the fourth after loading the bases and allowing another run, but Christian Yelich grounded out to end the threat. The Brewers bullpen continued to stand on its head, though, keeping the Rays off the scoreboard. In the bottom of the sixth, Sal Frelick led off the inning with a lefty-on-lefty solo homer off Ian Seymour in a nine-pitch at-bat, completely erasing the deficit. Cooper Pratt drove in Brice Turang to give Milwaukee a 5-4 lead an inning later. LA TIMES SPORTSWRITER HAS UNHINGED SHOHEI OHTANI TAKE AFTER DODGERS FALL SHORT OF WORLD SERIES The Brewers put runners on second and third with the four-hitter in Contreras at the plate in the eighth but were unable to add insurance, and Johnny DeLuca promptly started the top of the ninth with a double to put the tying run in scoring position. Yandy Diaz came to the dish with two outs and DeLuca on third, but Aaron Ashby's postseason scoreless streak is now at 15.2 innings, as the first-base umpire ruled that Diaz didn't check his swing on a 3-2 count, controversially ending the game. For certain, the call could have went either way. Jonathan Aranda, who is hitting .310 this postseason, was on deck, with Simpson and Caminero following. Milwaukee tacked on 11 total hits to Tampa Bay's seven — three of which came in the first inning. The Rays were left scoreless after the first inning. The 1996 New York Yankees are the last team to win the World Series after losing the first two games. Both losses came at home before the Yankees won four straight. Teams that take the first two games of a best-of-seven postseason series are 79-16 all time. Game 3 is in Tampa Bay on Monday night.

A week of buildup around a different version of Arch Manning and the pressure Steve Sarkisian was facing in regard to this offense showing up for all four quarters was nearing a combustable stage against Pete Golding's Rebels on Saturday night. Just when you thought this Texas team had shown us every possible way to blow a lead, it found a new one Saturday night in Austin. DID WE CREATE A MONSTER? ARCH MANNING’S ‘AW SHUCKS’ PERSONA IS GONE BEFORE MUST-WIN OLE MISS GAME Racing out to a 24-3 lead, thanks to Arch Manning looking like the quarterback NFL scouts were drooling over in the preseason, this game felt like a blowout waiting to happen. For the folks at home, we had seen this movie numerous times over the 2026 season. Texas gets a lead, and then throws it away in the second half. We had seen it against Oklahoma and Florida over the past three weeks. If worried Longhorn fans thought they were going to catch a break in the second half, they were sorely mistaken. Texas managed just 19 yards in the third quarter while Ole Miss scored 14 points. It was the Rebels scoring 21 unanswered points that had Texas fans going through another anxiety-filled evening, waiting for the other shoe to drop that it had seen too many times this season. When Arch Manning went cold, Trinidad Chambliss heated up. By now, the Longhorns should come with a disclaimer warning that any lead could turn into a tie at any moment. And you can’t blame the Will Muschamp-coached defense, considering how much time it spends on the field every week. A tale of two halves was once again rearing its ugly head when the Ole Miss defense forced a fumble after sacking Arch Manning, returning it for the touchdown that sparked the second half comeback. URBAN MEYER SAYS ARCH MANNING HAS 'GONE BACKWARDS' AS NOISE GROWS SURROUNDING STARTING JOB SECURITY What we witnessed once again was the Texas offense tightening up like a vice grip, with Manning having thrown his second interception with 13:24 remaining in the fourth quarter. Just as we witnessed against Oklahoma, Arch started throwing ducks, and this time it was Ole Miss ready to pounce on the mistakes. But then we watched the Longhorns flip a switch in the fourth quarter, as if everything that had taken place before Arch Manning strolled into the end zone for a Texas touchdown had simply been a case of the yips. SEC'S CRAZY, HISTORY-MAKING WEEK 7 WEEKEND IS THE LATEST EXAMPLE OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL'S NEW ERA "We say every week, 'whatever it takes,' and I think we did that in the fourth quarter," Manning mentioned after the game. Just when you thought it was over, though, Ole Miss put together a frenzied finish that saw them connect on a field goal, then recover an onside kick that gave the Rebels one last chance to tie this game up. A Trinidad Chambliss heave to the end zone wound up in the hands of a Texas defender, and the frenzy came to an end with the Longhorns holding off this fierce Ole Miss team that gave us a thrilling second half. "I was pacing, saying a few prayers," Arch Manning said about the final Ole Miss drive. "Our defense came up clutch, that's what it's all about." The problem with this game is that we witnessed two SEC perceived heavyweights trading haymakers for two halves. If you haven’t noticed, we are all struggling to decide on who is good enough to be called "elite" in college football. Coming out of Saturday's showdown in Austin, those questions are going to linger over the next five to six weeks. In the third quarter, we witnessed the Rebels playing with ferocity on defense while Trinidad Chambliss opened up the offense by throwing multiple touchdowns like we witnessed against Missouri last week. By the time Texas fans were done celebrating the drone show at DKR Stadium to start the fourth quarter, it was if another switch had flipped in the head of this Texas offense. The problem that will continue to fester for Arch Manning and Steve Sarkisian over the rest of this season centers around this offense struggling to play consistent football. Now, moving forward, Texas will face Missouri and LSU over the next three weeks, and the challenges will only get tougher. Which Longhorns football team will show up? I don't think any of us know the answer to that question. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6add7ec5f04c506ce1bfc20e ‘We want Fette’: Quarterback carousel leads to much-needed ASU victory over Kansas State te 2026-10-25T04:00:05.056Z ‘We want Fette’: Quarterback carousel leads to much-needed ASU victory over Kansas State TEMPE – With just under 30 seconds left in the first half of Arizona State’s 28-17 victory over Kansas State on Saturday, sixth-year quarterback Mikey Keene remained on the ground after taking a hard hit. After going 10 for 20 with 160 yards, giving ASU a four-point halftime lead, Keene grabbed his leg. The concern from ASU fans was palpable. Chants of “we want Fette” soon broke out, signaling a desire for freshman Jake Fette. ASU coach Kenny Dillingham opted instead to replace Keene with Cutter Boley, who had started the previous six games for the Sun Devils. The boos grew louder. Three ASU drives later, the Sun Devils trailed 17-14. That’s when Dillingham made the move fans wanted. He put in Fette late in the third quarter. “We wanted some energy,” Dillingham said about the freshman, who had fewer than 10 real reps in practice during the week. “We felt like there was a lull. You could see it with the guys on the sideline. We’re a team that can’t get into those lulls. We can be suffocated by them at times. “Jake’s got that look in his eye. Jake’s got the swagger, the confidence when he moves around. We just wanted the spark there with Jake.” By the time the game at Mountain America Stadium had ended, Fette led two scoring drives to secure an important victory for ASU, which had lost two of its last three games. After Boley started the first six games of the season, a strong performance by Keene the week before in Lubbock against Texas Tech made the Arizona native the starter heading into Saturday. Playing all but four snaps in the first half, Keene put together a strong day, earning praise from his coach. “He was juiced,” Dillingham said. “He was out there, playing football in his hometown, 20 minutes from where he grew up. He scored 14 points early. We’re moving. We feel the vibe. He played really well. His leadership was good.”  After Keene left, Boley only saw 14 snaps, 10 of which came in the third quarter. After freshman running back Cardae Mack rushed for 13 yards on the first play of the second half, Boley led ASU to three three-and-outs.

(Photo by Madison Sorenson/Cronkite News) “I’m always going to defend our players,” Dillingham said. “I don’t care. My players are first. I protect my players to my core. It’s me and my team first.” Despite Dillingham’s disagreement with fans, he eventually gave Fette the keys. After forcing a turnover on downs, the ASU defense ran off the field, excited for the stop.  “Coming off the field, we just told him to protect the ball,” junior linebacker Martell Hughes said. “We’re riding behind him.” Running back Cardae Mack, another freshman, shared the backfield with Fette and ran in two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Those two were not the only scores he had Saturday afternoon. By the time the game ended, Mack finished with 166 scrimmage yards and four rushing touchdowns. The four touchdowns were the most by an ASU freshman since Leon Burton scored five in 1955. Sharing  the backfield with all three quarterbacks on Saturday, Mack had nothing but praise for those under center. “They’re all amazing quarterbacks,” Mack said. “They all do their job. They all work hard in practice. They’re all ready when their time is called.” While three quarterbacks saw the field for ASU against Kansas State, Fette’s work to finish out the game made the biggest difference. Turning to a freshman in a close game in the fourth quarter, giving him his first action against an FBS opponent, is not an easy decision for most coaches.  It’s different when the freshman is Fette. “You could see his poise and you could see how calm he was back there in the game,” Dillingham said. “Getting prepared mentally week in and week out and preparing like he was going to play, I think it (paid off).” Despite the coaching staff’s belief in Fette, Dillingham still had concerns. “You want to do everything you can to protect really good freshmen at the quarterback position,” Dillingham said. “You never want to put them in a position that can ruin them, which sometimes you can do to quarterbacks. … But at the end of the game, we felt like he gave us the best chance to win because of his confidence.” After the game, Dillingham announced that, barring any major changes to Keene’s health, Fette will start in Provo, Utah, next weekend against No. 2 BYU. As Dillingham prepares his freshman to go into one of the loudest stadiums in the country, he didn’t sugarcoat the message he’s going to share with the young quarterback. “It’s just one of the best environments you’ll get to play in college football,” Dillingham said. “It doesn’t get much louder or disruptive than this one.  “Throw them into the fire. I mean, here we go.” Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6add7c69f04c506ce1bfc17c Rays' World Series Meltdown Sparks Junior Caminero's Fiery Dugout Outburst te 2026-10-25T03:50:01.977Z Rays' World Series Meltdown Sparks Junior Caminero's Fiery Dugout Outburst Junior Caminero was so bothered by his teammates' defense, he exploded in the dugout after the Rays squandered a 4-0 lead.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6add7565f04c506ce1bfc06f 49ers may have fewer than 48 players available against Falcons amid injury wave, coach Kyle Shanahan says te 2026-10-25T03:20:05.477Z 49ers may have fewer than 48 players available against Falcons amid injury wave, coach Kyle Shanahan says Every NFL team deals with injuries. It's an unfortunate part of the game. But few have been more defined by them in recent seasons than the San Francisco 49ers, whose injury report has seemed to become a weekly storyline. The undefeated 49ers made a cross-country trip this week for a matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. San Francisco will again be without several key players Sunday, including receiver Mike Evans, who is dealing with a sore Achilles, and defensive end Nick Bosa, who has a calf injury. The team’s receiver corps was already thin, with Ricky Pearsall, Deebo Samuel Sr., De’Zhaun Stribling and Demarcus Robinson unable to go Sunday. The 49ers also ruled out safety Marques Sigle and linebackers Garret Wallow and Luke Gifford for Week 7. Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan acknowledged the lengthy list of unavailable players and said the 49ers may not be able to reach the maximum 48 players on the game-day roster. 49ERS STAR WIDE RECEIVER RICKY PEARSALL OUT FOR THE SEASON, TO UNDERGO SURGERY ON KNEE IN CRUSHING BLOW Teams can elevate players from the practice squad when injuries leave them thin at a position, but Shanahan does not expect those moves to get San Francisco to 48 players Sunday. Instead, the former Falcons offensive coordinator said the 49ers have discussed preparing some players to line up outside their usual positions because of the injuries. Shanahan said the situation was a first in his coaching career. "I don't think ever in my career [has that happened]," he said. "It's a unique situation." Veteran receiver Christian Kirk is in line to make his season debut Sunday, Shanahan confirmed. His return from injured reserve would provide a welcome boost for the 49ers. Bosa recently shared an optimistic view about being able to return for Week 5 or 6, but the 49ers kept him out of practice to give him extra recovery time. That optimism seems caught Shanahan off guard, given how carefully Bosa usually assesses his own status. "I just think he was a little too optimistic, especially for Bosa because he's pretty accurate," Shanahan said. 49ERS GM QUELLS BUZZ AROUND ELECTRICAL SUBSTATION THEORY "He doesn't say stuff like that unless it's accurate. I just think it surprised him. He worked out after he said that to you guys and the next day was just a little sore, which surprised all of us, and that wasn't a great sign, especially going to playing turf and stuff this week." Bosa hasn't played since Week 2. San Francisco will enter its bye week after Sunday’s matchup with the Falcons.

Surrounded by their children, relatives and closest friends, the couple exchanged vows in a heartfelt ceremony that reflected their shared faith and the importance of family in their lives. The setting brought their engagement story full circle, as they were married at the same church where they first committed to spending their lives together. Earhardt and Hannity incorporated their shared faith into the ceremony with selected readings from Romans 12 and the Song of Solomon. Romans 12 emphasizes devotion and respect, encouraging believers to "Love one another with brotherly affection" and "Outdo one another in showing honor" (Romans 12:10), while the Song of Solomon speaks to the strength of romantic love, stating, "Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it" (Song of Solomon 8:7). The selections reflected the values the couple hopes to carry into their marriage. During the ceremony, which was officiated by the couple's ministers, Earhardt and Hannity exchanged personal vows, reflecting on their love for each other, their shared faith and the life they look forward to building together.  The bride wore a gown by Oscar de la Renta for the occasion. Following the ceremony, guests gathered under a retractable roof for a private reception under the stars at the Everglades Club in Palm Beach, where the newlyweds celebrated alongside loved ones from different chapters of their lives.  The wedding brought together relatives and longtime friends, including those who have known Hannity since his early days on Long Island and Earhardt's close friends from South Carolina, as well as colleagues who have been part of their careers over the years. Among the guests were FOX News Media CEO Suzanne Scott, Fox News president and executive editor Jay Wallace and anchors and hosts, including: Steve Doocy, Lawrence Jones, Brian Kilmeade, Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin, Dana Perino, Bret Baier, Harris Faulkner, Emily Compagno, Bill Hemmer, Martha MacCallum, Kayleigh McEnany, Carley Shimkus, and Trey Gowdy among others. Fox News host Lara Trump and Eric Trump also attended and were joined by newly minted Fox News contributor Karoline Leavitt and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles.  Among the other guests in attendance were casino mogul Steve Wynn, philanthropist Julia Koch, entrepreneur and podcast host Patrick Bet-David, podcast host Sage Steele, country music star Lee Greenwood, fitness and podcast personality Jillian Michaels, television personality Nancy Grace, Rascal Flatts frontman Gary LeVox and Five for Fighting's John Ondrasik. Also celebrating the couple at the wedding were Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his wife Casey, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino and his wife Erin, Sen. Tim Scott and his wife Molly, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and his wife, former Ambassador Callista Gingrich. For Earhardt and Hannity, the wedding was a celebration of more than their marriage. It was a reflection of the faith, friendship and love that brought them together, made especially meaningful by exchanging vows in the same church where their journey toward marriage began. In joint remarks made following the wedding celebration, the newly married couple said, "Our hearts are overflowing with love and gratitude as we begin this new chapter together as husband and wife. To exchange our vows in our home church where we got engaged, surrounded by our children, families and dearest friends, was more meaningful than we could have ever imagined. Our faith has always been at the center of our relationship, and we truly believe God brought us together. We feel blessed by the outpouring of love and support from the wonderful people in our lives and are excited for the future. Above all, we are grateful to God for bringing us to this moment and for the beautiful life we will continue to build together." Prior to Saturday’s wedding, Earhardt and Hannity hosted a private pre-wedding celebration Friday night at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, where President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump joined the couple's family and friends. The president did not attend Saturday's wedding ceremony.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6add6c05f04c506ce1bfbea9 The Mack Attack: True freshman Cardae Mack rushes for 4 touchdowns in ASU win over Kansas State te 2026-10-25T02:40:05.884Z The Mack Attack: True freshman Cardae Mack rushes for 4 touchdowns in ASU win over Kansas State TEMPE – Cardae Mack wasn’t told before Saturday’s game against Kansas State that he would be the featured back, only that the team would “roll with the hot hand.”  Did it ever. The Arizona State running back raced his way into the history books in a 28-17 victory at Mountain America Stadium, tying ASU Hall of Famer Leon Burton as the only true freshman to rush for four touchdowns in a game, a record that has stood for 71 years. “It’s a blessing honestly,” Mack said. “You know we work hard every week in practice and just to see it pay off, today was truly a blessing.” Mack was the only constant on offense as the Sun Devils marched out three quarterbacks during the game. Something that Mikey Keene, Cutter Boley and Jake Fette all had in common was handing the ball off to the freshman, as he had career-high attempts and yards, rushing 26 times for 159 yards.  “Honestly, (I) just followed the game plan coach put in,” Mack said. “My O-line just executed everything that they needed to do. That was really it.” Mac started strong, finishing the Sun Devils’ opening drive with a nine-yard rushing touchdown. He followed that by starting the second quarter with another rushing score, and to add insult to injury, he ran it from the wildcat formation (ASU calls it the Sparky formation) against the Wildcats. Mack has experience with direct snaps as he was a dual-threat quarterback as a junior for Atascocita High School in Humble, Texas. When Mack was just an ASU commit, he told Vype.com that Sun Devils coach Kenny Dillingham was “an offensive genius.”  “There’s already a plan in place of how they intend to utilize me in their schemes,” Mack said. Mack’s utility came after Keene left due to injury, in a period where Dillingham said he was “conservatively aggressive” due to the quarterbacks he had in the game. In the second half, the freshman ran 17 times for 113 yards and two more touchdowns to put the Wildcats away for good. Dillingham had one word when asked about Mack’s performance: “stud.” “He shows up every day to work, great energy,” Dillingham said. “We’re playing some freshmen here that are playing good football…. I think we’ve got a good amount of guys in there that are young bucks that are making an impact early.” Mack has the most rushing touchdowns in an ASU game by a single running back under the Dillingham regime, but the coach says it’s still too early to compare him to his most famous running back, Cam Skattebo. “I’m not going to say that yet,” Dillingham said. “Cam was a special player, a different kind of back.” He did, however, say he saw some similarities between the two as well as another back he coached. “Shorter, quickness, contact balance like Skatt,” Dillingham said. “Skatt was just a little bigger, thicker from that perspective.” Dillingham then reflected on one of running backs he oversaw at Oregon, where he was the offensive coordinator in 2022. “Same like Bucky Irving, a little bit, with some of the acceleration through the holes,” he said. “Bucky was probably a little faster at the end of his career when I coached him, which Cardae is a freshman. “He’s going to get faster and faster.” It was fast enough Saturday to be a game-changer for ASU.

The goalie hasn't played so far this season after asking for a trade over the summer, but now that it's done, he's gearing up to hit the ice and has addressed the New Jersey media for the first time. "Sitting at home for so long was getting to me. For myself, I’m just really excited to play hockey again," Hellebuyck said on Saturday, per the Associated Press. "I’m joining a very skilled group. They brought me for a certain specific role. I’m really excited to fill that role, not only on the ice but off the ice as well." SOCIAL MEDIA REACTS TO EXCRUCIATINGLY AWKWARD MOMENT BETWEEN DEVILS JACK HUGHES AND ESPN ANALYST The Devils are off to a good start this season with a 7-4-0 record after Saturday's win over the Los Angeles Kings, during which netminder Jake Allen was between the pipes. Adding a goalie of Hellebuyck's caliber to the lineup could mean that goals will be at a premium for any team that plays the Devils. But for Hellebuyck, it will be different playing in New Jersey compared to a Canadian market like Winnipeg, something he was asked about. UTAH'S MACKENZIE WEEGAR REACTS TO AMERICAN PLAYERS SEEKING TRADES OUT OF CANADA: 'IT’S A BIT UNFORTUNATE' "I mean, it's a catch-22; some people love that," he said of playing in markets where people bug players about hockey while they're trying to grocery shop. "Sometimes you just want to be left alone. Canada loves their hockey, and I felt that to the bone, and I loved my time there, and I've loved the people I've met. Made a lot of good friends and built good relationships there." "So, I can't say that one is better than the other," he continued. "I know that I've enjoyed both and I've experienced both. It's just one of those things that's part of hockey culture... they love their hockey, and we love our hockey in our own way, and that should be celebrated."

Eli Crane’s office, hosted the Cyber Security and Fraud Seminar and highlighted the importance of keeping communities safe from scammers.  It’s the second such community event since Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes hosted an elder scams townhall in February.   The Internet Crime Complaint Center, run by the FBI, is a 24/7 hub for reporting crime that also tracks trends.  According to the center’s 2025 data, their 1,008,567 complaints equaled $20.8 billion in losses, averaging $20,699 per individual complaint.  Most scams are designed for exactly that — a way to get access to capital — and the numbers have gone up 26% from 2024 data.  There were several concerned citizens present, primarily in a 40-60 age range, a demographic the FBI says is disproportionately hit by scams like these.  “I’m hoping to get any tidbits that could help,” said Randy Dodson, 80. “I know a lot about computers already, but I like to learn something new every day.”  Dodson teaches a computer class at the library and has been helping neighbors with PC issues since 2012. He’s worked with computers since 1968.  May McCarthy wanted to learn prevention techniques after experiencing personal hacking through her business bank account.  McCarthy and her husband, John Donohue, didn’t catch the fraudulent charges until a month later when they received their credit card statements.  Within the last couple months, every single card had some level of charges ranging from $200 to $500.  Some of the more common schemes by bad actors — the individual or group behind the scheme — include text, email, romance , tech-support, investment and cryptocurrency,and AI-driven scams.  Text scams   Text scams are typically auto sent by bots, involving links or random greetings. These texts are best left unanswered because answering them alerts them that it’s a real number, according to special agents.   Email scams   These will be emails with a realistic-looking address mimicking the entity they’re impersonating. The address could be off by a letter or have an added letter in the middle, for example. They continue threats of account closure, money owed or require clicking a link to renew something.  Business email compromise is another variation of email scams. Scammers are able to intercept a home purchase email, for example, and intercept the wiring amount.  Tech-support scams  A bad actor will pretend to need access to a personal or business computer for tech support. Once they’re granted access, they shut the victim out of their computer and take over their data.  Investment and cryptocurrency scams  This scam typically promises a huge return on an investment.   As an example, Frye cited a bad actor who did enough research about their intended victim to convince them they were talking to a past colleague. With that baseline of trust, the victim believed the promise of return was solid, but when he went to remove his money from the account –— a fake app showing false dividends — he realized he couldn’t access anything.  AI-driven scams  AI-driven scams are becoming more prevalent. AI could involve video or audio manipulation with any type of scam, but when it comes to phone call scams, it can mimic a loved one’s voice.   Romance scams  A person will make contact and want to create a connection, generally romantic in nature.  “Scammers are always good-looking,” Frye said.  Once the relationship is formed, the bad actor will make a pitch — an investment offer or request for money — and then take the funds overseas before the victim is aware of the scam.  Again, if whoever is on the other end is asking for money in some fashion, it’s best to pause and report.  “If things aren’t adding up, pause, vet the information, and call the agency itself,” Frye said.  What to do if you’ve been scammed  If you have been scammed, here are FBI-recommended steps to take.   Contact local law enforcement  Contact your bank, initiate recall request  File a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center   Contact the FBI at 800-CALL-FBI  Block the scammer, block communication, change passwords and monitor credit  If applicable, call the National Elder Fraud Hotline, 833-FRAUD-11  The post FBI brings cyber scam prevention advice to Maricopa appeared first on InMaricopa.com.

The fire broke out at the Eagle’s Nest in the Bavarian Alps on Friday evening, and firefighters battled the flames against strong winds. The 33-year-old suspect is a German citizen who showed signs of mental illness and was taken to a psychiatric facility, authorities said. WORLD-FAMOUS CATHOLIC SHRINE TORCHED, 'DEVIL IN A SKIRT' SCRAWLED ON VIRGIN MARY STATUE But they aren’t ruling out a political motive for the arson due to its notorious history. He was seen heading down the mountain on a motorcycle. The Kehlsteinhaus, as it’s called in Germany, is more than 6,000 feet above sea level and accessible by an elevator during the day for tourists. The building has operated as a seasonal restaurant and tourist attraction since 1952, and has an exhibit on its history. MASSIVE FIRE DESTROYS 400-YEAR-OLD FOOD MARKET, LEAVING HISTORIC LANDMARK IN RUINS Hitler rarely used the retreat. He did frequent his Berghof residence in the same area, which was blown up after the war. "We're not going to leave a ruin there," Bavaria's interior minister, Joachim Herrmann, told reporters at Eagle’s Nest. "I think we will be able to find a sensible solution." He added: "It is important that we continue to do the work of remembrance." No injuries have been reported. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

"The Raiders Family mourns the passing of Pete Banaszak, whose toughness, competitive spirit, and dedication embodied a legendary era of Raiders football and made him a cherished member of the Silver and Black," the team said in a statement released Saturday. The Raiders also remembered the late running back's deep pride in his Polish heritage and extended their condolences to his loved ones. "A Wisconsin native, Banaszak was fiercely proud of his Polish heritage and was inducted into the National Polish-American Sports Hall of Fame in 1990. The deepest condolences of the entire Raider Nation are with Pete's wife Sue, daughters Rebecca and Amy, grandsons Luke, Austin, and Connor, and all of his loved ones." RAIDERS LEGEND GIVES BLESSING TO FIRST OVERALL PICK FERNANDO MENDOZA TO WEAR NO. 15: 'HE'S PERFECT' Banaszak was primarily a reserve during his career, starting just 36 of the 173 NFL games he played. Even so, he made the most of his opportunities and etched his name into Raiders lore during his 13 seasons with the famed Silver and Black. Banaszak made his final appearance with the Raiders in 1978. His best season came in 1975, when he rushed for a league-high 16 touchdowns and a career-best 672 yards in his 10th year with the franchise. Those 16 rushing touchdowns remain a Raiders single-season record. CRAIG MORTON, QUARTERBACK WHO LED THE BRONCOS TO THEIR FIRST SUPER BOWL APPEARANCE, DEAD AT 83 Banaszak crossed the goal line twice in the Raiders’ Super Bowl XI victory over the Minnesota Vikings. The win marked the first time the franchise won the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Banaszak also played a key role in one of the NFL’s most famous plays, the "Holy Roller." In Week 2 of what would be his final season, the Raiders trailed the Chargers 20-14 with seconds remaining when Ken Stabler fumbled while seemingly being sacked. Banaszak recovered and batted the ball forward, giving tight end Dave Casper a chance to make the recovery in the end zone. The extra point secured Oakland’s improbable 21-20 win. Banaszak finished his storied NFL career with 3,772 rushing yards, 1,022 receiving yards and 52 touchdowns. He is also credited with six touchdowns in the playoffs.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6add523f11846704b3a803da UCF Knights pull off stunning upset over undefeated BYU in mind-boggling overtime thriller te 2026-10-25T00:50:07.932Z UCF Knights pull off stunning upset over undefeated BYU in mind-boggling overtime thriller It has been a wild couple of weeks in college football, but what happened on Saturday in Orlando — a UCF Knights double-overtime win over the BYU Cougars — might be the craziest thing yet. After a big win over Notre Dame and Top 10 teams dropping like flies last weekend, the BYU Cougars found themselves coming into Week 8 at No. 2 in the nation. On Saturday, they headed down to Orlando, Florida, to take on Scott Frost's UCF Knights. BYU QB BEAR BACHMEIER SAYS NOTRE DAME 'DISRESPECTED' HIM AND HIS FAMILY FOLLOWING UPSET WIN OVER IRISH The 3-3 Knights have struggled in the Big 12 since joining the conference, but tend to be better at home in the friendly confines of the Acrisure Bounce House. The Cougars opened the scoring when quarterback Bear Bachmeier hit wide receiver Kyler Kasper for six. But UCF managed to hold them through the rest of the first quarter and then answered with a touchdown of their own in the second, when Knights running back Landen Chambers broke through a notoriously solid BYU defensive line on the goal line. After forcing BYU to punt, UCF managed to drive deep into Cougar territory, but failed to get into the endzone. They settled for a field goal attempt on fourth-and-goal. While kicker Will Stone got the job done to give the Knights a 10-7 lead, the decision to play it safe drew boos from the home fans. They may have had a point because Bachmeier lowered his head and burst into the end zone on the following possession. UCF ended the half with another red zone drive coming off of an interception, only this time they didn't have to settle for a field goal. QB Keyone Jenkins found Chambers through the air for six. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE That plus an extra point meant that UCF took a 17-14 lead to the locker room at halftime. This was the third time they led or were tied with a ranked opponent at the half this season, but went on to lose both games. In the second half — with rain falling — BYU scored on their first drive, but UCF answered right back to regain their three-point lead. BYU settled for a field goal to tie the game at 24-24. A couple of drives later, a short punt gave UCF good field position with 8:50 left in the game. What followed was an 11-play drive that set up a fourth-down play on the goal line. The Knights held the Cougars deep in their own end, but they flipped the field with a booming punt ahead of UCF's final drive of regulation. Johnson then led the offense downfield and into kicker Will Stone's field goal range. On second-and-ten, it appeared that Jenkins had fumbled and it was recovered by BYU; however, upon review, it was overturned and ruled an incomplete pass. On top of that, BYU defensive tackle Keanu Tanuvasa was assessed an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that gave the Knights a fresh set of downs and moved them up to the BYU 28-yard line. After a few plays to bleed time off the clock, UCF brought out the kicking unit on third down, but the kick was blocked and recovered behind the line of scrimmage. With Stone's helmet coming off and no flag on the play, the half came to an end because of a ten-second run-off, and it was off to overtime. UCF won the toss and elected to get the ball second. On third-and-13, Bachmeier hit Legend Glasker to put the Cougars ahead. But it didn't last long because on UCF's first play, Jenkins scrambled for his life, then found receiver Josh Derry in the endzone. The PAT was good, and the OT continued. Stone returned and kicked a field goal, but BYU's Kendal Wall was called for roughing the kicker, giving the Knights a fresh set of downs, and it only took two plays for Jenkins to hit tight end Grayson Brousseau — who grew up fifteen minutes from Provo — for the touchdown, and then was successful on the mandated two-point attempt. In their second OT possession, BYU's undefeated season and No. 2 ranking came down to a single play, and UCF managed to hang on for the biggest win over a ranked team in program history. What. A. Game. That throws a huge wrench into the rankings and playoff picture, and it had the potential to rejuvenate UCF's season as they go to 4-3 with a signature win under their belt. Kalani Sitake's Cougars will now look to bounce back on Halloween against the Arizona State Sun Devils, while the UCF Knights will move on to face Baylor.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the 55-year-old actor confirmed that his new movie, "Ali G: Who Iz I?," will be his last in the risky, character-driven comedic style that made him famous. "I want to do stuff that challenges me," he told the outlet. "So again, I’m not doing 'Borat 3,' which also would be incredibly challenging. Again, this movie I just did is the most challenging movie I’ve ever done, but I’m not doing more." The actor has said he was done with this style of comedy in the past, but decided to make this movie because he is "terrified of where our society is headed" and thinks of his comedy as a way to comment on it. SACHA BARON COHEN’S RIPPED NEW LOOK FOR MARVEL ROLE HAS FANS DOING A TAKE He explained that through his films, he can "show the extremism on both sides of the political spectrum and the danger of virtuous violence." He added that at the end of the day, he also "wanted to make the funniest film that’s ever been made." "These really are the hardest movies to make, but I suppose I made it because I’m scared of this world of conspiracies and lies that are spread by social media and now by AI," he said. "If we don’t have these shared facts, then democracies crumble, and we can’t have a tolerant society. And to make people laugh is therapy." Cohen's early breakthrough came in 2000, with "Da Ali G Show," and he later gained international recognition with the release of "Borat" in 2006. He followed that up with "Bruno," "The Dictator," "Who is America" and "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm," as well as some dramatic roles in "The Trial of the Chicago 7," "Les Misérables" and "Disclaimer." GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE Throughout the interview, Cohen explained that these comedies "are dangerous to make" and are "incredibly demanding" on the body, but that he and his crew "try to limit the risks and keep everybody safe." He described the final scene of his latest project as "an eight-hour continuous scene that takes place over 12 locations" with a lot of different elements, filmed as "a continual shot." "There’s gunfire in it. There’s a medical procedure. There are drones, there are explosions, and it’s taking place in the desert," he said. "On the way to shooting it, I bumped into one of the great stuntmen and he said, 'You will go to hospital if you make this movie,' because I explained I’m wearing a prosthetic head in a fat suit. He said, 'You’ll be so dehydrated you’ll be in hospital for two weeks.'" The "Balls Up" star explained that he hired "an endurance specialist who does the Tour de France" to be next to him throughout filming and that, despite the precautions, "a number of people went to the hospital for dehydration." LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS Despite how it may seem, Cohen assured fans he "will never do a scene if I think I’m actually going to die." "I was about to do a scene [in 'Borat 1'] and we had a cop who had his gun on his thigh and I said, 'Why is your gun on your thigh?' He goes, 'Well, I need to be really fast to draw in this area.' I said, 'Well, how close are you to me?' And he said, 'I’ll be with you within three minutes.' I realized that was not a good thing to do, so I pulled that scene." PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE On the other hand, however, Cohen agreed to film a scene at a gun rights rally for the second "Borat" film, knowing there was a chance he could be shot, but said, "I felt it was an important film to be made." His risk-taking ways have paid off, as he received two Academy Award nominations for writing "Borat" and its sequel, in 2007 and 2021 respectively.  He also received an acting nomination for his role in "The Trial of the Chicago 7."

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6add4fe711846704b3a8035d Ukraine's Starlink restored as Elon Musk claims Kyiv violated terms of service 'to kill people' te 2026-10-25T00:40:07.248Z Ukraine's Starlink restored as Elon Musk claims Kyiv violated terms of service 'to kill people' Elon Musk on Saturday continued to defend Starlink after Ukraine faced more than a week of speed restrictions that disrupted its war effort against Russia, saying SpaceX has done more to defend the country than any other private company "by far," while accusing the country of using the technology in violation of its terms of service "to kill people." "Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be," Musk wrote on X, claiming that Ukraine had "violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week." He explained that Starshield is a different system controlled by the U.S. government.  "What they decide to do is up to them." ELON MUSK BLAMES TRUMP, US MILITARY FOR SPACEX RESTRICTIONS UKRAINE WARNS COULD HAVE DEADLY CONSEQUENCES "Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now," he wrote in response to an X post that stated Starlink is "not a weapons system."  "Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact," he added. Musk said that Starlink was crucial at the beginning of the war because it was the only means of communication that couldn’t be "destroyed or jammed by Russia. "SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR," he claimed. "That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell. End of story." Last week, Musk blamed the issue on the U.S. military. "Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS," the SpaceX, Tesla and X CEO wrote in a post. UKRAINE SHOWED TRUMP HOW EASILY AN ENEMY COULD CRIPPLE AN AI POWERHOUSE A source familiar with the situation told Fox News Digital that Ukraine received no advance warning before the restrictions took effect overnight, despite relying on the service under arrangements contracted through the U.S. government until May 15, 2027. Ukrainian forces discovered the change after experiencing connectivity problems and contacting SpaceX customer support. They were told Starshield service would be restricted on platforms traveling at speeds of 100 mph or higher, the source said. Musk did not say whether President Donald Trump, War Secretary Pete Hegseth or another U.S. official personally authorized the new restriction or explain why it was imposed. Trump told reporters on Saturday that he had spoken to Musk about the issue, but wouldn’t elaborate. UKRAINE REGAINS CRITICAL STARLINK SERVICE AFTER RESTRICTIONS DISRUPT DRONE OPERATIONS Ukraine's Ministry of Defense announced Saturday that it had regained broader access to Starlink, with connections remaining stable at speeds of 250 mph. It remains unclear what led to the slowdown in service, with Ukraine having accused both Trump and Musk of being behind it, and comes after renewed hope for Ukraine and Russia to reach a resolution in the war. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Hegseth have denied that the U.S. government was responsible for slowing Ukraine's Starlink service. Russia agreed Wednesday to resume three-way negotiations with Washington and Kyiv next month, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told "Fox & Friends" this week he would be open to ending the war by freezing the fighting along the current front lines.  Fox News Digital reached out to the White House, SpaceX, along with the War and State departments for comment.

The quarterback barreled, twisted and turned through Tennessee defenders to tie the game late, and the Gamecocks then turned an ensuing fumble into a walk-off field goal in their 27-24 victory over No. 11 Tennessee. With roughly three and a half minutes to go at the South Carolina 38, the Vols went for it on 4th and 1 but were stuffed. South Carolina then moved down the field on a drive that resulted in a touchdown you have to see the believe. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE On 3rd and goal from the 4, Sellers scrambled right and was at first stuffed at the 3. But he kept churning his feet and was nearly down at the 1. Yet just as he was about to be down, he laid out for the end zone and scored. The PAT tied the game at 24 with 1:17 to go. Tennessee had a chance to make magic of their own, but instead, on just the third play of their drive, George MacIntyre lost a fumble, and the Gamecocks recovered at the Vols' 34 with 33 seconds left. Four plays later, Malik Orsan drilled a walk-off 48-yard field goal as time expired, and the South Carolina faithful stormed the field. South Carolina had been 1-28 when trailing by seven or more points in the fourth quarter under Shane Beamer. It is also back-to-back wins against ranked teams for the Gamecocks after a massive upset in Gainesville against Florida. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER Sellers was South Carolina's leading rusher, going for 96 yards on 18 carries and scoring twice. South Carolina had gone up 14-0 in the first quarter but let Tennessee fight back. South Carolina is now 4-3 on the season and 2-3 in SEC play. For Tennessee, it's their second loss on the season against six wins (3-2 in conference). The loss will almost surely knock them out of potential College Football Playoff seeding — but the first CFP poll isn't until Nov. 3. In any case, Tennessee will have some making-up to do, and that will start in two weeks against No. 12 Kentucky back in Knoxville. South Carolina will host Oklahoma next week.

Obama delivered the jab during a Cleveland rally supporting Democrat gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton and Senate candidate Sherrod Brown, criticizing Trump's priorities just 10 days before the midterm elections. "I mean, I don't know if you've noticed, but he seems very focused on home renovations," Obama said. "He should be on HGTV." OBAMA CLAIMS HE OCCUPIES 'A SUITE' IN TRUMP'S MIND, QUESTIONS THE PRESIDENT'S FOCUS ON AMERICANS Obama rattled off Trump's ballroom project, Rose Garden makeover and South Lawn helipad before taking aim at the president's affinity for gold décor. "He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory," Obama quipped. The renovations, however, include several functional upgrades to the White House grounds. TRUMP DEFENDS US INTERVENTIONS ABROAD AHEAD OF 'BIG DECISION' ON IRAN: 'SETTLING YEARS OF UNFINISHED BUSINESS' The Rose Garden's former central lawn was replaced with limestone paving in 2025, creating a patio for outdoor events, speeches and entertaining, while the traditional roses were retained around the perimeter. Trump also unveiled an upgraded granite White House helipad featuring the presidential seal in September. Official White House photographs show Marine One landing on and departing from the new facility during a Sept. 21 ribbon-cutting ceremony. The administration's ballroom project is intended to provide permanent, secure space for large official events, addressing a longstanding reliance on temporary tents for major White House functions. A National Park Service environmental assessment notes that the need for expanded event space was identified in a White House planning document dating to 2000. Obama's swipe at Trump's White House makeover comes as his own presidential center in Chicago has faced criticism over its imposing, granite-clad tower, which some critics have dubbed the 'Obamalisk,' along with ballooning construction costs and years of delays. The Obama Presidential Center's projected price tag has surpassed $1 billion, nearly triple its original $350 million estimate, according to previous Fox News Digital reporting. Subcontractors have alleged they are owed millions for their work, while taxpayers have been saddled with hundreds of millions of dollars in associated public infrastructure costs separate from the center's construction budget. Obama's criticism extended beyond the presidential residence to Trump's handling of the conflict with Iran, which the former president blamed for higher energy costs. "Most importantly, he decided to start an unnecessary war that nobody asked for and nobody voted for," Obama said. He also defended the nuclear agreement negotiated during his presidency. TRUMP RIPS OBAMA'S 'STUPID' IRAN DEAL, CLAIMS FORMER PRESIDENT THOUGHT 'HE COULD BRIBE THEM' "Iran didn't have nuclear weapons because I had put a deal in place that everybody knows kept them from getting nukes," Obama claimed. Trump withdrew the United States from the 2015 agreement in 2018, arguing that its temporary nuclear restrictions were insufficient and that it failed to adequately address Iran's ballistic missile program and support for regional militant terror groups. The agreement offered Tehran sanctions relief in exchange for nuclear restrictions and international inspections. Inspectors reported some Iranian compliance before the U.S. withdrawal, although Iran subsequently expanded uranium enrichment beyond the deal's proposed limits. Obama also accused Trump of pursuing policies that increased consumer costs, criticizing immigration enforcement as he urged Ohio voters to hold Republicans accountable. Acton faces Republican Vivek Ramaswamy in the governor's race, while Brown is challenging Republican Sen. Jon Husted. The former president carried Ohio in both 2008 and 2012, but the state has backed Trump in his three presidential campaigns. Fox News Digital contacted the White House for comment on Obama's remarks.

The announcement comes a day after the Wolfpack fell to 3-4 on the season after losing to Stanford, 31-28. "I want to thank Coach Doeren for his service and contributions to NC State, and for always representing the university with pride," athletic director Boo Corrigan said in a statement. "I appreciate his leadership during his 14-year tenure and the passion he brought to this role. We wish Dave, [wife] Sara and his family the best in the future." CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE The school said a "national search" for the team's next head coach will begin "immediately." Doeren had been with the program since 2013 after two seasons at Northern Illinois, his very first head coaching gig. He went 3-9 in his first season with the Wolfpack but turned them into a perennial bowl game participant. The Wolfpack went to 11 bowl games in Doeren's 13 full seasons, including each of the last six. They are 1-3 this season in ACC play, however. "It starts with me," Doeren said after Friday's loss. "The guys didn’t play well enough which means I didn’t have them ready."

Running backs coach and special teams coordinator Todd Goebbel, who has been on the coaching staff since 2019, will serve as the interim head coach for the rest of the season. The post-Doeren era will begin on Halloween when NC State hosts California. Doeren is the second coach let go this season after Maryland and Mike Locksley parted ways earlier this week.

On Saturday, the Wolverines’ misery continued as they failed to reach the end zone when they needed it most and suffered their third loss of the season, a 13-6 overtime defeat to defending national champion Indiana. Indiana quarterback Josh Hoover scored on a 4-yard touchdown run in overtime, then the Hoosiers’ defense stopped Michigan on its ensuing possession to secure a 13-6 victory. The win also prevented Indiana from suffering its first two-game losing streak in three years under coach Curt Cignetti and marked the Hoosiers’ first victory at Michigan Stadium since 1967. OLE MISS AND TEXAS COLLIDE IN MASSIVE COLLEGE FOOTBALL SHOWDOWN WITH ARCH MANNING'S SEASON AT STAKE Tommy Carr started at quarterback for the Wolverines, while Bryce Underwood sat out. However, Carr, a freshman, didn’t fare as well as he did last week, when he came off the bench to help Michigan defeat Penn State. Carr lost a fumble on an ill-advised pitch in the first quarter and was picked off in the second half. He took sacks in the second and third quarters that led to missed field goals, including a 32-yard kick after advancing to the Indiana 1. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Michigan reached the Hoosiers 3 in the final minute of regulation when Carr was sacked for a fourth time, leading to a 26-yard field goal as time expired. Hoover struggled, too, until making a 21-yard pass to Brock Schott on the first snap of overtime that set up his touchdown. Carr finished with 167 passing yards, an interception and a fumble. His brother, Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr, attended the game while his team had the weekend off. Indiana returns home next week to face Minnesota, while Michigan will look to rebound against Rutgers. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The Green Bay Packers running back landed on the list following the alleged incident, missing the team's first six games. But the team activated him on Saturday, and he will likely be the team's lead back in their NFC North matchup against the Detroit Lions. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE The league continues to investigate Jacobs' situation despite Jacobs' plea of no contest to both misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor criminal damage to property. Jacobs being removed from the list doesn't hinder the investigation, the NFL has noted, but he is allowed back with the Packers. Jacobs was placed on the commissioner’s exempt list Aug. 30, three days after charges were filed against him. His status on the commissioner’s exempt list prevented him from playing or practicing, but he still could prepare himself in other ways. "He could go to meetings," head coach Matt LaFleur said earlier this week. "He could lift with our strength coaches and condition with them. He couldn’t go to any of the team activities – the practices and what not." Green Bay (4-2) has won three straight, but is averaging just 59.8 yards rushing per game – 16.2 fewer than anyone else. The Packers also are last in the league in yards per carry (2.9). MarShawn Lloyd, Kaleb Johnson and Pierre Strong Jr. all have been given chances to establish themselves. None have been productive. Jacobs ran for 929 yards and 13 touchdowns while gaining 4 yards per carry last year. That followed a 2024 season in which he rushed for 1,329 yards and 15 touchdowns while making the Pro Bowl. Jacobs spoke with reporters earlier this week, expressing remorse for his actions. TRUMP SAYS NFL 'COULD'VE PROBABLY POSTPONED' PARIS GAME AS FRANCE PROTESTS STRETCH POLICE THIN "Excited to be back with the team, with the guys," he said during his media availability. "I want to say thank you to the organization really for supporting me throughout this whole process and how everything played out. "With that being said, I can't really get into a lot of things, like specifics of things, but obviously I'm remorseful, and sorry for putting this (team) in this situation. "Sometimes, when you go through life, situations occur, and a four-second, three-second decision can alter your life honestly. With that being said, still a human being, man, still trying to learn, still trying to grow from the whole process. Actually learned a lot throughout this whole process, legally and just personally." Jacobs also filed a civil suit last week calling for an injunction and a protective order surrounding evidence, specifically surveillance footage of the incident, which would restrict access to records of the case.

The commentary by Conor Friedersdorf, headlined "The DEI Language That’s Doing More Harm Than Good," pointed to a social media post from Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., in which he sought interns for his Boston office. In the post, Markey wrote, "BIPOC, LGBTQ+, working class, veterans, and other underrepresented candidates with Massachusetts ties are encouraged to apply." TRUMP ADMIN'S PUSH TO SCRAP DEI IN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TAKES LANDMARK STEP WITH NEW HIRING RULE The senator’s call for applications sparked criticism online, with critics suggesting Markey was openly discriminating against White men while attempting to appear inclusive. The Atlantic essay noted that Manhattan Institute senior fellow Christopher Rufo alleged Markey’s internship posting was an open violation of civil rights law and called on the Justice Department to pursue federal charges. Former Trump Justice Department appointee Theo Wold also weighed in, writing that the goal of the Democratic Party is to make sure White men "have no opportunities to find gainful employment." Friedersdorf called the senator’s wording "political malpractice," arguing that language that fuels White identity politics is harmful to Americans of all races, even when the intent is good. He added that Democrats should instead adopt rhetoric that clearly commits to equal opportunity. "White identitarians would exist even in a world without bias of any sort in recruitment or hiring –– but using language that fuels White identity politics, as Markey’s language did, is political malpractice that’s bad for Americans of all races, no matter how well intentioned it might be," the author wrote.  Fox News Digital reached out to Markey's office for comment but did not immediately receive a response.  NEW YORK TIMES SUED BY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OVER ALLEGED 'DEI-RELATED' EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION The article went on to argue that Democrats were more likely than Republicans to support policies that promote diversity in employment opportunities, which Friedersdorf said have prompted credible allegations of discrimination from White men. Friedersdorf added that members of Generation Z are even more likely to perceive discrimination against young, White men, and that generational differences can further exacerbate the sentiment. According to the article, in 2019, about a third of young men said men face some discrimination in America. By 2025, that figure was reportedly 51%. AOC SAYS ‘WOKE 1 WAS CRAZY,’ BUT DEMOCRATS STILL OWE VOTERS AN EXPLANATION However, Markey’s call for applications — and the outrage it sparked — drew the attention of Democratic political strategist Kaivan Shroff, who told Fox News Digital the post may have done more harm than good when it comes to Democrats’ public pledge for equality. "Markey’s post is exactly the kind of virtue signaling that feeds the outrage cycle without actually doing much for diversity," Shroff said. "If your office genuinely wants a broader applicant pool, you should already have relationships with colleges, community groups and organizations that can get the posting in front of those candidates." Shroff added that the senator's post appeared to be more about "announcing your values than doing the harder work of diverse recruiting." "So there is also a basic competence question here," Shroff told Fox News Digital. "A Senate office should not need social media language that makes half the country wonder whether they are less welcome in order to find diverse applicants. That also makes the post look like a substitute for the infrastructure you should already have." The essay concluded by pointing to Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., as a model. Her office’s intern job posting describes it as an equal-opportunity employer and encourages "all individuals from all backgrounds" to apply — a notable difference from Markey’s own solicitation. Warren’s approach was echoed by Shroff, who noted how Democrats have increasingly turned social flashpoints into easy lay-ups for their opponents. "The larger political mistake is that Democrats keep handing the right these easy cultural fights for almost no substantive benefit," the Democratic strategist said. "Most people understand the argument for widening opportunity and even rebalancing past unfairness where possible." "What they resent is language that makes it sound like to lift up one group or groups you have to put down or exclude another and that is just unproductive — and incorrect," Shroff added. "Politics is all about addition and not subtraction, so it’s a wrongheaded approach."

In a recent episode of their "Fly on the Wall" podcast, the two comedians questioned Hollywood's emphasis on race and gender, with Spade arguing that the industry should "stop separating us like that" by highlighting those distinctions. "On race, let me just say at any of these award shows, I saw a clip the other day saying, 'And this gentleman won, and he's the first black director to win for this documentary,' I wish they would quit saying that because I think everyone we can't all be equal to you," Spade said. "'Oh, the first in 30 years to have a black actor win this.' If you just say we're all actors . . .now this is my point of view, that it just makes it more even and not, we're all just the same. We're all acting." Carvey then joked that when he won his Emmy Award, they announced that he was the "198th straight white male that has won this award." ISSA RAE SAYS DEI HAS BECOME A 'BAD WORD' IN HOLLYWOOD AS EXECUTIVES OF COLOR 'TIPTOE' TO KEEP JOBS Spade also pointed out that while he was working on the hit NBC show, "Just Shoot Me," from 1997 to 2003, they would inform him anytime they would be working with a female director that week. "I [would] go, 'That's fine. Just is it a director? Yeah. Okay, we got it.' Like you don't even have to say that," Spade said. "Female director. It feels like a little, not condescending, but a little diminishing. That's a good word. It's a little 5%. Instead of going, 'We don't have a regular director,' you know what I mean? So, I was a big proponent of fighting that." Carvey agreed with his co-host, mentioning that "female director" is "a funny thing to say." In a previous episode of their podcast released in March, Spade gave his candid opinion on the state of Hollywood under the leadership of Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass, "the Hollywood industry is dying" and that he's "just trying to put the blame somewhere." GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE "Dude, I'm so old," he said.

Of course, just filed for bankruptcy, the lot. Terrifying in LA Thanks, [LA Mayor] Karen Bass. Thanks, [Gov.] Gavin [Newsom]." The mayor's press office responded to Spade's claims at the time, telling Fox News Digital in a statement, "Mayor Bass has championed the entertainment industry because it’s a bedrock of our middle class. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS "This year alone, she slashed filming fees at Griffith Observatory and reopened the LA Central Library to film production for the first time in over a decade," the statement added. "Under her leadership, more than 3 million square feet of studio and creative office space have been approved, and over 120 sound stages are now under construction across Los Angeles." In April, Spade and Carvey revisited Hollywood's struggles when comedian Tim Dillon joined their podcast as a guest. PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE During the episode, Spade recalled how he "got in trouble" for his previous comments, clarifying, "I wasn't really mad at Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass." "I was just saying, ‘Could we make it a slightly more of a priority? I don't know what we're spending the money on that's flowing in, because it's a lot flowing in, but it goes out so quickly. I want to sort of reserve a little piece of the pie to like focus, like let's try to get this back,’" Spade said. "That's all." Although Spade softened his criticism of California's leadership, Dillon argued that Bass and Newsom "seem to think everything's kind of going well," adding, "When someone thinks things are going well, it's very hard to make them understand" that people are leaving.

The candid admission highlights how Brolin has embraced a daily routine to maintain his sobriety. Brolin has also opened up about another addiction he has struggled to overcome — nicotine.

He said he kept the pouches "all over the house" and sometimes used them without even realizing it. "My wife would hear this in the middle of the night," Brolin said before mimicking a chewing noise. "I don't even know I'm doing it. I'm asleep. I have a pouch in my lip, and I'm not f---ing lying — 24 hours a day."

Game 1 was great between the Rays and Brewers, tonight brings us Game 2. Hard Rock Bet is bringing new users $500 in No Sweat Bets to wager on tonight’s game.  The 2026 World Series has a crucial Game 2 at American Family Field as the Milwaukee Brewers aim to extend their lead after a nail-biting 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 1. Tampa Bay looks to bounce back, steal momentum, and earn a split on the road before returning to St. Petersburg for Game 3. The matchup features an intriguing battle on the mound between two stellar starting pitchers. Right-hander Logan Henderson takes the ball for Milwaukee after an outstanding regular season, while the Rays counter with veteran righty Drew Rasmussen. Both pitching staffs demonstrated their depth in Friday night's opener, and managing pitch counts will be vital as both managers try to keep their bullpens fresh for the upcoming travel day. Offensively, Milwaukee will look for production from slugger William Contreras and spark plug Brice Turang, while Tampa Bay relies on power hitter Junior Caminero and Jonathan Aranda to catalyze their lineup. Yesterday, both teams saw a bit of success from their key contributors, but they will need more of that today. Jackson Chourio, William Contreras and Christian Yelich all had hits and RBI’s last night. Aranda went 3-for-3 for the Rays, and Caminero had a hit and drew a walk in the ninth.  Hard Rock Bet is bringing new users $500 in No Sweat Bets to wager on tonight’s game.  Odds are subject to change Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6add210511846704b3a7f9c6 Beverly Hills school board candidate under fire over messages mocking trustee's visit to Jewish holy site te 2026-10-24T21:20:05.898Z Beverly Hills school board candidate under fire over messages mocking trustee's visit to Jewish holy site Beverly Hills school board candidate Kim Lifschitz faced accusations of antisemitism this week after screenshots surfaced appearing to mock a trustee's visit to Jerusalem's Western Wall, while a separate controversy involving her husband's comments featured on a livestream by Twitch streamer Hasan Piker resurfaced. The screenshots show messages labeled with Lifschitz's name responding to a Beverly Hills Standard article documenting Beverly Hills Unified School District Board of Education member Russell Stuart's New Year's Day visit to the Western Wall, one of Judaism's holiest sites.  One message attributed to Lifschitz appeared to ridicule his kippah, a traditional Jewish head covering. "Maybe he can bust out the kippah from his dress up trunk," the message said. Another message attributed to Lifschitz appeared later in the conversation, continuing the joke about Stuart's religious head covering, saying, "He probably used it to store his complimentary in-flight nuts." RIHANNA'S BEVERLY HILLS HOME TARGETED IN BRAZEN DAYLIGHT SHOOTING Stuart, whose family is Jewish, condemned the messages in a statement to Fox News Digital, saying political disagreements do not justify ridiculing religious practices. "I found them deeply offensive," he said. "My visit to the Western Wall was personal and meaningful to me. Seeing a kippah described as something from a 'dress up trunk' turns Jewish religious observance into a costume and a punchline." "Anyone is welcome to challenge my votes, my positions or my work on the school board. Mocking my religious observance crosses a very different line," he continued. Lifschitz pushed back against the allegations in a statement to Fox News Digital, acknowledging that the nearly year-old messages came from a private group chat while arguing that her criticism concerned what she described as Stuart's use of Jewish religious symbols to gain political support. "I said nothing antisemitic at all. In fact, I criticized Russell Stuart for disrespecting Jewish culture and observance," she said. "He was treating a kippah like a costume used in a performance, and he afforded it the same amount of respect one would give a container for airplane snacks."  "I didn’t 'attack' Russell Stuart for wearing a kippah or visiting the Western Wall," Lifschitz continued. "I expressed disgust that he turned those things into internet content." EXCLUSIVE: INSIDE LA'S HOMELESS HELLSCAPE — UNLIKELY CRITICS BLAST DEMS AS GOP HOPEFUL TOURS SKIR ROW California GOP Jewish Engagement Chair and attorney Elizabeth Barcohana, who has publicly criticized Lifschitz's candidacy, also condemned the school board hopeful, accusing her of being "prejudiced, rude, and unserious about education or the well-being of children." Lifschitz, who identified herself as Jewish, also pointed to her personal experiences with antisemitism when explaining why she questioned Stuart's intentions. "As a Jewish woman who has experienced plenty of antisemitism in her lifetime and who has a son who cannot protect himself from it, it's hardly surprising that I assumed the worst about his intentions, given the evidence available to me," Lifschitz said. A newly circulated screenshot shows a group-chat message labeled with Lifschitz's name appearing to ridicule BHUSD Board Vice President Sigalie Sabag for discussing Holocaust survivors. According to the Beverly Hills Standard, the remark concerned Sabag's discussion of survivors who had spoken with district students. "Love that Sigalie is talking about holocaust survivors like she collected the most Pokémon," the message said. Stuart characterized the comments concerning his religious observance as antisemitic and called on Lifschitz to address them directly. "I consider the remarks attributed to her antisemitic because they ridicule Jewish religious observance and an identifiable symbol of Jewish faith. I cannot speak to what was in her heart, but I can speak to the words," Stuart said. HASAN PIKER POINTS THE FINGER AT AIPAC AS DEMOCRATS SPEAK OUT AGAINST HIM The controversy comes as Lifschitz competes for one of two seats on the BHUSD Board of Education in the Nov. 3 election. During an October interview with the Beverly Press, she emphasized combating discrimination and modeling appropriate behavior for students. "You have to be a role model," she said. "You have to model the conduct that we are expecting from our children." The allegations follow previous scrutiny involving Lifschitz's husband, Daniel Lifschitz, who wrote on Instagram that a clip of him had been featured on far-left streamer Hasan Piker's livestream after publicly criticizing the district's antisemitism resolution, according to a screenshot posted by Barcohana on X. "I just wanted to make some MAGA folks on the school board feel bad and now I'm on [Hasan Piker's] livestream..." Daniel Lifschitz said in an Instagram post. During a September 2025 livestream, Piker replayed a Fox 11 Los Angeles report by Chelsea Edwards concerning the district's decision to reverse a proposal to display Israeli flags during Jewish American Heritage Month. The footage featured Daniel Lifschitz criticizing the original resolution. Piker praised Lifschitz's comments and compared displaying Israeli flags to displaying Nazi flags during a hypothetical German-American heritage commemoration. Kim Lifschitz previously disputed claims that her husband appeared as an invited guest on Piker's program, explaining that the streamer had independently replayed television footage featuring his public remarks. She also defended the private nature of the group-chat conversation, accusing Stuart and his supporters of seeking out critical remarks and using them to portray her negatively. "Adults are allowed to dislike each other and talk about it amongst themselves in private chats," she said. "Seeking out the opinions of those you know dislike you, and then painting them as monsters when you 'catch' them doing what you expected them to do, is the equivalent of putting a stick through the wheel of your own bicycle." Barcohana criticized the district's previous leadership and teachers' union, arguing that Beverly Hills parents had pushed for greater accountability over school spending and education policy. "Parents in Beverly Hills worked very hard to take control of their children’s education back from the teachers’ union and other special interests, who allowed taxpayer money to be squandered without proper oversight," Barcohana told Fox News Digital. "Once that happened, incompetent and unpopular school principals, teachers, and the superintendent were fired and replaced; student test scores and academic achievement improved, budgets got under control and teacher pay increased to record highs, and enrollment increased," she said.

Call it a revenge game for what had taken place leading up to the 2026 season, or the Red Raiders finally running into a team that could present a viable challenge, this expensive roster that was assembled through the transfer portal ran into a buzz saw on Saturday afternoon. The reality check for this Texas Tech football team took place in the first half, trailing 24-6 as both teams ran into the locker room after what was an eye-opening performance by the Red Raiders offense with two turnovers and just six points. Cincinnati would end up winning 37-24, in a game that never truly felt close after the opening 10 minutes. And, for a squad that could not afford a Big 12 loss like this with how BYU and Utah are currently playing, the uncomfortable truth is that head coach Joey McGuire had to rely on quarterback Will Hammond to lead this football team after Brendan Sorsby was ruled ineligible for the season due to his gambling situation. But most importantly, the Red Raiders are just not as explosive as what we saw in 2025. For a lot of college football fans, they will look at this result as karma for making their Big 12 colleagues file a federal lawsuit in order to scare Texas Tech enough to end the charade surrounding Sorsby suiting up for the Red Raiders this season. BIG 12 FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST TEXAS TECH SEEKING COURT APPROVAL TO SANCTION SCHOOL OVER BRENDAN SORSBY But there was no denying what type of beating we all witnessed on Saturday in Cincinnati, where the Red Raiders looked like a mediocre football team that had spent more than $35 million on their roster this season in hopes of competing for a CFP title. Well, unless the Big 12 sees an absolute meltdown over the next 45 days, Texas Tech will undoubtedly be looking back at this performance on the road as the culprit for its season taking a drastic turn. Following the 2025 season, the former Bearcats quarterback decided it was in his best interest to enter the transfer portal and cash in on his play on the field. It was no secret within the college football world that Texas Tech had all but officially signed Sorsby towards the end of last season. TEXAS TECH QB BRENDAN SORSBY ENTERING TREATMENT FOR GAMBLING ADDICTION AMID NCAA INVESTIGATION So, when the Bearcats athletic department decided to sue Brendan for a buyout tied to a contract signed with Cincinnati, it was clear that his former team was not going to make the transition to Lubbock an easy one. Turns out, just a few months after arriving at Texas Tech, Sorsby was embroiled in an NCAA investigation tied to thousands of bets placed during his college career, with a number of them coming while he was on the roster at Indiana. These bets were flagged by law enforcement officials, who then turned them over to the NCAA. BRENDAN SORSBY GAMBLED ON HIS OWN TEAM, YET THE NCAA IS SOMEHOW THE BAD GUY IN THIS CASE Just before summer officially got underway, Sorsby filed a lawsuit against the NCAA in Lubbock district court, where an injunction was granted that would have allowed him to suit up this season for the Red Raiders. Then came the backlash from across college athletics, with the Big 12 conference searching for ways in which it could possibly punish Texas Tech. Things had gotten so tense around the situation between the Red Raiders and its conference that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sent a letter to Big 12 officials, warning them that if the conference were to punish the school for playing Sorsby, the state would take them to court in return. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE The Big 12 was prepared to file a federal lawsuit in order to enforce its own rules, which obviously scared Texas Tech enough to finally fold its hand and make the decision to not continue pushing for Sorsby to play thanks to a court order. But through all of the nonsense around the school and conference, it was Cincinnati that still had a lawsuit against its former quarterback.

This season is really no different, with many teams filling the top ranks in the nation. Tennessee and South Carolina battle each other in this one, with the Volunteers coming in as the 11th-ranked team in the country.  Tennessee has put together a very nice campaign with six wins and just one loss. The lone loss on the schedule was when they hosted Texas earlier this season. That was a narrow defeat, falling 20-17. The next three games have been very good wins for them, beating Auburn, Arkansas and, last week, taking down Alabama. The offense hasn’t looked flawless, scoring only 22.8 points per game over the past four weeks, but they will happily take a 3-1 record.  South Carolina comes into the game with a 3-3 record for the year, and they’ve only won one SEC game. That win came last week as they routed a reeling Florida team. Before that win, they saw losses against Mississippi State, Alabama and Kentucky. Now they have another tough task having to score against a strong Tennessee defense.  Odds are subject to change In the World Series, we get Game 2 of a great matchup. The Brewers and Rays have so many similarities they might as well be the same franchise. Both are small-market teams. Both have low payrolls. Both have seen more than their fair share of players come and go from the club, and every time it seems like their team improves. It doesn’t matter who is on the roster for these two teams; they just find ways to win games.  Now they both are in the World Series, and the Brewers have a 1-0 lead. That means that the Rays are looking to tie up the series before it heads to Tampa for Games 3-5. We can expect each of these games to be strategy-filled and matchup-driven.  Odds are subject to change Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6add1eaa11846704b3a7f900 Ohio Sheriff Investigating Punch on Female Heckler at Trump Rally te 2026-10-24T21:10:02.440Z Ohio Sheriff Investigating Punch on Female Heckler at Trump Rally Authorities launch probe after Blake Miley was punched in Youngstown; three men have been identified, but none charged as yet.

During a recent appearance on "Happy, Sad, Confused" with Josh Horowitz, the 82-year-old actor reflected on filming sex scenes earlier in his career, before intimacy coordinators became commonplace on movie sets. "There’s an art to sex scenes in films. It’s not easy to do things like shadowing people when you’re on top and this and that," Douglas said. MICHAEL DOUGLAS REVEALS HE MADE FIVE PHONE CALLS TO FIVE WOMEN THE DAY HE CHOSE CATHERINE ZETA-JONES "But the big thing with sex scenes is trust," he continued. "And as long as the lady is trusting me — obviously I trust her — it’s like a dance. You’re taking the lead." Douglas explained that actors carefully discuss each movement before filming begins. BILLY BALDWIN ADMITS HE REFUSED TO KISS CO-STAR AFTER WEEKS OF TENSION ON SET "You just talk it out slowly. ‘Kiss, kiss, bite. Looking at you. Is it all right to touch your breasts?’ ‘Yes.’ ’All right, I'm touching your breasts. Kiss. Kiss,'" he said. "You do it, and it’s just like choreographing a fight scene." "You start very slowly … and then action. It makes it look like it really happens," Douglas added. 'TEACHER'S PET' STAR MAMIE VAN DOREN SAYS SHE FELT 'USED' AS YOUNG ACTRESS NAVIGATING HOLLYWOOD'S DARK SIDE The "Wall Street" star also emphasized the importance of making female performers feel comfortable on set, particularly when they are surrounded by a predominantly male crew. "It’s awkward enough for ladies, in terms of being mostly surrounded by a male crew and everything, especially in those days, to make sure that they were as comfortable as possible," he said. Douglas also compared acting to working as part of an ensemble, explaining that he has always prioritized the overall quality of a project over the size of his own role. "I've always thought your role is one small part of the whole," he said. "And so what you really need … is better actors around you. You want the best you can get because it’s the whole thing that matters." "I’d rather be good in a little movie than lousy in a big part," Douglas added. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

"Our intimate relationship was complicated by the fact that she was married, and we had to keep it a secret from the cast, crew, the people in the town we were filming in, and of course her husband. It was a passionate affair that lasted through filming." Purcell disputed Douglas’ account in a statement to Fox News Digital.

Whichever team finds a way to navigate the opposing lineup tonight will take Game 2.  The Rays send out their ace to the mound tonight in hopes that they can tie up the series. Drew Rasmussen takes the ball for Tampa, and he put together a great season. During the regular season, he went 16–5 with a 2.67 ERA and a 0.91 WHIP. He’s been just as good in the postseason, allowing just three earned runs over 21 innings of work.  The Brewers have Logan Henderson starting for them, and he will look to piggyback on the good work that Jacob Misiorowski did last night. Henderson went 11-3 this season with a 2.47 ERA and a 0.84 WHIP. He only threw 98.1 innings this season, so he didn’t qualify for the league lead in either category, but he was excellent.

On Saturday, the Valkyries made a mess of her afternoon. Reese followed two dominant performances with her worst game of the series, missing layup after layup when Atlanta needed her most. She finished with eight points and nine rebounds on 2-for-12 shooting as the Dream lost 67–62 to the Golden State Valkyries on Saturday at State Farm Arena, evening the best-of-seven WNBA Finals at 2–2. Reese also committed six turnovers. WNBA PLAYERS, COACHES REFUSE TO EXPLAIN NATIONAL ANTHEM ABSENCES AMID MOUNTING CRITICISM After combining for 51 points and 28 rebounds in Atlanta’s two victories, Reese had plenty of confidence heading into Game 4. "They’re playing into my mental game," Reese said Friday. Before tipoff, both teams again stayed off the court for the national anthem, marking their fourth straight absence in the series. They left moments before the performance and returned seconds after it ended. Once the game began, Reese struggled to finish around the basket and hold onto the ball. She went scoreless in the first quarter and reached halftime with four points, three rebounds, five turnovers and three fouls. Two of those fouls were offensive. Atlanta’s problems extended beyond Reese. The Dream committed 14 first-half turnovers and attempted just 19 shots to Golden State’s 40. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Reese’s hook shot with 6:15 left in the second quarter was Atlanta’s last field goal of the half. The Valkyries closed the period on an 18–6 run to take a 42–26 lead into the break. The Dream made a push in the third, cutting the deficit to six on Isobel Borlase’s three-pointer with 4:27 remaining. But Golden State answered with consecutive baskets from Tiffany Hayes and Gabby Williams and took a 54–45 lead into the fourth. Reese scored two points in the third, both at the foul line. Her only shot attempt was a missed three, and she picked up her fourth foul in the closing seconds. She had a chance to salvage her afternoon in the fourth quarter. Instead, she missed her first five shots of the period: three layups, a tip shot and a short hook. Atlanta got within six twice. After Veronica Burton’s three-pointer pushed Golden State’s lead to 64–55 with 4:23 remaining, Reese missed a layup, grabbed her own rebound and missed the tip. On Atlanta’s next possession, she missed a 5-foot hook. The Dream needed their star to deliver. She kept leaving points at the rim. Reese finally made a driving layup with 1:36 remaining, her first field goal since the second quarter, cutting the deficit to 64–59. Before that basket, she had missed six layups, including one blocked by Kiah Stokes. Atlanta still had a chance. But Allisha Gray and Borlase missed threes on the same possession, and Burton’s jumper with 34.6 seconds left stretched the lead back to seven. Rhyne Howard’s three-point play brought Atlanta within four with 28.7 seconds remaining. Burton made one of two free throws, and the Dream’s final possession ended with another Reese mistake. She grabbed two offensive rebounds to keep it alive, then threw a pass that Williams stole with 9.8 seconds left. It was her sixth turnover. The Dream also hurt themselves at the foul line, finishing 22-for-31. Gray picked up her fifth foul early in the fourth quarter, adding to Atlanta’s problems. Game 5 is Monday at Chase Center in San Francisco.

Milwaukee took the opener of the World Series and now has the upper hand. What does each team have to do in order to take Game 2 of the World Series?  The Rays will need to get a good start from Drew Rasmussen. That’s their biggest key to winning today. They need to find a way for Rasmussen to keep the Brewers from manufacturing runs or getting that big hit that they consistently have gotten all postseason. They could also benefit from big hits of their own.  The Brewers need patience, but they really don’t need to change anything. They really can’t let Rasmussen get into a groove. If they do find a way to score some runs off of him, I’d expect that they pull their starter, Logan Henderson, fairly early and turn the game over to their bullpen. Milwaukee is getting guys on base consistently, getting them over, and getting them in.  Which team will get what they need tonight?

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a federal law restricting the interstate commerce of switchblade knives violated the Second Amendment, while a federal judge in the Western District of New York struck down New York’s restrictions on personal body armor. In both cases, the courts determined that switchblades and body armor qualify as constitutionally protected "arms." The twin rulings come as the Supreme Court prepares to hear oral arguments in Viramontes v. Cook County, a case that could determine whether AR-15-style rifles qualify as "arms" protected by the Second Amendment. National Association for Gun Rights President Dudley Brown, whose organization filed an amicus brief in Viramontes, said a Supreme Court ruling against AR-15 bans could influence future legal challenges to restrictions on ammunition magazines, automatic knives, body armor and other defensive equipment. "The interesting thing about both of these cases is that they’re both going to be really decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in the Viramontes decision," Brown told Fox News Digital. SUPREME COURT UNANIMOUSLY LIMITS USE OF GUN LAW USED TO PROSECUTE HUNTER BIDEN The recent rulings rely on two major Supreme Court decisions defining the scope of the Second Amendment: District of Columbia v. Heller and New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen — both of which will play a key role in the Supreme Court’s review of AR-15-style rifle bans. In its 2008 decision in Heller, the Supreme Court established that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess firearms for lawful purposes, including self-defense. The Court also ruled that the amendment protects weapons in lawful common use while acknowledging a longstanding tradition of restricting "dangerous and unusual" weapons. Heller recognized that the term "arms" encompasses both offensive weapons and defensive armor. The decision did not address switchblades or body armor directly but the recent rulings relied on its broader understanding of what may qualify as an arm. The decisions also reveal how Bruen ’s text-and-history test could shape the Supreme Court’s review of bans on AR-15-style rifles. Under Bruen, courts first determine whether the Second Amendment’s text covers the weapon or conduct at issue. Because both courts answered that question affirmatively, the burden shifted to the governments to show that the restrictions were consistent with the nation’s historical tradition of arms regulation. George Lyon, a Second Amendment attorney, said the governments in both cases failed to identify sufficiently similar historical laws justifying the modern restrictions. ATF SUSPENDS FEDERAL REGISTRATION AND APPROVAL RULES FOR CERTAIN FIREARMS "Once what you want to do is shown to come within the text of the Second Amendment, the presumption is that the regulation is unconstitutional," Lyon said. The Fifth Circuit found that switchblades are commonly used "arms" protected by the Second Amendment, citing their historical use for defense and everyday purposes. It then ruled that the government had failed to identify a sufficient historical tradition for the Federal Switchblade Act’s specific restrictions on interstate commerce, which regulated switchblades in a way that differed from historical laws. In the New York ruling, the state argued that body armor was a tactical accessory to a firearm rather than an "arm" protected by the Second Amendment. The judge rejected that argument, finding that body armor falls within the historical definition of arms recognized in Heller. The court then concluded that New York had not shown a sufficient historical tradition supporting its civilian purchase ban. That reasoning could become important in Viramontes, where the Supreme Court is being asked to decide whether AR-15-style rifles fall within the definition of protected arms recognized in Heller. GUN RIGHTS GROUPS CAPITALIZE AFTER JUDGE REVERSES DECADES-OLD RESTRICTIONS: 'MONUMENTAL' The case arises from a challenge to Cook County’s assault-weapons ban. The Seventh Circuit concluded that AR-15-style rifles were comparable to machine guns and therefore fell outside the category of arms protected by the Second Amendment. The Supreme Court’s decision could resolve whether that reasoning is consistent with Heller and Bruen. Lyon said the Seventh Circuit improperly treated AR-15-style rifles as comparable to machine guns. "The current case at the Supreme Court, Viramontes, will address that because the Seventh Circuit had taken the position that because AR-15s are ‘like machine guns,’ they don’t constitute an arm as defined under Heller," Lyon said. "That was just totally wrong in my view." Justin Davis, director of public affairs for the National Rifle Association, said the dispute over AR-15-style rifles is part of a broader legal fight over what qualifies as an "arm" under the Second Amendment. "There’s a major discussion going on in the courts about what is and what aren’t arms," Davis said. Davis pointed to litigation involving suppressors, ammunition magazines, stun guns, pepper spray and other equipment used for self-defense. "They talk about how the Second Amendment only applied to muskets because that’s what existed at the time of the Founders, but we don’t apply the First Amendment only to newspapers, books or speech in public forums," Davis said. "Social media, texting and phones didn’t exist at that time, either." "The world evolves, but the core fundamental rights never change," Davis continued.

Alton Brown's unconventional approach calls for mayonnaise and extra egg yolks. Ina Garten, however, puts her own Italian-inspired spin on the breakfast favorite. The key to perfect scrambled eggs is ricotta cheese, the "Barefoot Contessa" star recently told the Wall Street Journal. CELEBRITY CHEF LEAVES ONE ICONIC INGREDIENT OUT OF HER FRENCH COOKING AND DINERS CAN'T TELL "How you cook the eggs makes such a difference, too," Garten said. "If you cook them at a very low heat and add ricotta to give it creaminess and a little texture, it’s just a whole other thing." She added, "It’s like a custard rather than scrambled eggs." YOU'RE PROBABLY COOKING RICE WRONG, AND CHEFS REVEAL THE SIMPLE MISTAKE TO AVOID Garten also recommends adding any herbs that you have on hand. "I put chives in it," she said. Her method has one thing in common with Ramsay’s approach: Both chefs rely on gentle cooking to keep the eggs soft. Ramsay adds the crème fraîche cold at the end to stop the cooking and bring richness to the dish. Garten instead folds ricotta into the eggs as they cook, leaving some small curds visible, according to the Journal.

For dessert, Garten told the Journal, she’ll buy a cheesecake from a good bakery and make a quick raspberry sauce to serve with it. "Nobody will ever know," she said. "You’re relaxed. The dessert is delicious. Everybody has a good time."

And what better way to celebrate Halloween ahead of Saturday's game against the Auburn Tigers than by dressing as Haddonfield, Illinois' favorite son (actually, maybe he's not the favorite), Michael Myers. And when dressed as Michael Myers, what better way to get in the spirit than by creepily stalking an on-field official just like the star of the "Halloween" franchise (except the third one) did? KANSAS STATE WILDCATS' MASCOT FORCED TO COMPLETE ABSURD AMOUNT OF PUSH-UPS DURING 71-3 VICTORY What a moment. There's so much happening here. The phrase "the European mind cannot comprehend" gets thrown around a lot these days, but I'm a red-blooded American, and it still took me a few moments to process everything that happened in that clip. First of all, you've got a guy in a costume of a tiger, inside of a costume of a guy, who is technically wearing a costume, that costume being — fun fact — a William Shatner mask painted white with the hair teased out. It's costume-ception. FORMER NFL QB SEAN SALISBURY WANTS OFFICIALS TO FACE POSTGAME QUESTIONS JUST LIKE PLAYERS AND COACHES Then stalking the official like he's Laurie Strode is a real choice. What might be the greatest part of it all is the person who sure appears to be an LSU staffer telling Mike to knock it off. It made him the Dr. Loomis to Mike the Tiger's Michael Myers. Why? Because when you've already got two losses on the year and are seeing your College Football Playoff chances draining away, it's probably best practice to not have your mascot stalking officials while dressed as a knife-wielding lunatic from a slasher movie who killed his own sister while he was dressed as a clown. That's just me, though. Maybe others see it differently, but that staffer and I were simpatico on this one. Still, it was hilarious, and if we're lucky, other mascots saw that, and we'll get quite the Halloween costume arms race next week.

Sgt. Alan Rivera served two tours in Iraq as a Marine. In 2006, he was injured when an improvised explosive device detonated beneath a Humvee behind his vehicle. Rivera said he got out to help fellow Marines and a Navy IED team, pulling one injured team member to safety before he was struck by another explosion. He received the Purple Heart and the Navy Achievement Medal with a combat “V” for valor. The parade, organized by the American Legion Auxiliary, is celebrating its 10th year with the theme “250 Years of Freedom” on Saturday, Nov. 7. The procession will include military vehicles, horses, classic cars, school groups and a flyover by Stearman aircraft. “The community really has accepted this tradition now to honor our service members, which is wonderful,” said Gabby Potter, the auxiliary’s vice president and parade chairwoman. Potter said the parade began as an idea about 11 years ago and has grown into a community effort involving schools, businesses, volunteers and city departments. Residents can take part by bringing a banner or poster honoring a relative who served, giving families a chance to recognize their veterans from the sidelines. “It’s another way to honor that person, even from the sidelines,” Potter said. The parade begins 9 a.m. Nov. 7 near Central Arizona College on Bowlin and Porter Roads, ending near Leading Edge Academy and Saddleback Elementary. A flyover is planned shortly after 9 a.m. Afterward, veterans and their families are invited to a free luncheon at Leading Edge Academy. Organizers also invite first responders to join the gathering in recognition of their service. A map showing the Maricopa Veterans Day Parade route and road closures for Nov. 7, 2026.

Speaking on "Fox & Friends Weekend," exclusive senior advisor Marc Beckman said the agreement followed weeks of mediation involving Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Beckman told Fox News the effort reflects how Trump is redefining the role of first lady. RECOVERING FROM LUNG SURGERY, POPE LEO URGES PUTIN TO AGREE TO CEASEFIRE IN RUSSIAN-HELD UKRAINE CITY "We have to look, as Americans, at our first lady with immense pride. She is completely revamping the role of first lady from somebody building policy awareness into action-oriented. She's saving lives," Beckman said. "Yesterday, she brokered — single-handedly brokered — a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine within the area of Oleshky," he added, noting that Russia has since agreed to extend the planned ceasefire by two days and expand it to a broader area of Ukraine's Kherson region. TRUMP ANNOUNCES IMMEDIATE ENERGY CEASEFIRE BETWEEN RUSSIA AND UKRAINE Beckman said the first lady was moved to negotiate the ceasefire to help elderly residents still trapped in the region, giving them time to evacuate and allowing humanitarian aid to reach those who remain. He said the agreement built on the first lady's previous humanitarian work. Since August 2025, Trump has helped negotiate the release of Ukrainian children from Russia, allowing them to reunite with their families. Beckman said 34 children have been returned to their families through six separate exchanges. KUSHNER, WITKOFF SET FOR KYIV TALKS AFTER PUTIN MEETING IN US PUSH FOR PEACE "She was smart enough to realize that by leveraging the relationships — the strong relationships that she fostered over six unique moments in time for the reunification of Ukrainian and Russian children... by leveraging those relationships, she was able to bring everybody to the table and negotiate this ceasefire," Beckman said. ZELENSKYY ACCUSES PUTIN OF DEFYING TRUMP'S CEASEFIRE PUSH, SENDS POINTED MESSAGE TO WHITE HOUSE President Donald Trump also praised his wife's efforts, saying, "I think she's done a great job. I mean, she's into saving babies and bringing babies back home to their parents, and she's been able to do something that's great." Pope Leo XIV reportedly spoke with Putin and Zelenskyy by phone to emphasize the need for a humanitarian truce. UKRAINE'S ZELENSKYY OPEN TO FREEZING FRONT LINES IN CEASEFIRE WITH RUSSIA The localized ceasefire is expected to begin Oct. 29, according to the White House. The first lady described the situation in Oleshky as "dire" and said the remaining elderly residents urgently need medical care, medicine, food and drinking water. "The people of Oleshky have limited electricity, live amid mined roads, and endure regular military attacks. It was abundantly clear that without my intervention, the possibility to bring humanitarian aid into the city and to evacuate the elderly would be impossible," she said, according to the White House press release.

The "Seinfeld" star was a guest on Daniel Lubetzky's "Build or Break" podcast and discussed the iconic sitcom that helped shape his career. Alexander told Lubetzky that therapy was the only way he was able to cope with how much the show changed his life. "You literally went to therapy?" the host asked. JOHN GOODMAN ADMITS HE FELT 'FRIGHTENED' AFTER THE SUDDEN FAME HE EXPERIENCED FROM 'ROSEANNE' "You bet," Alexander replied. "I was in therapy while it was happening." When Alexander was asked why, he explained that the transition from the fame that "Seinfeld" brought him would be hard for anyone. "The transition from successful at your job to international celebrity, let me just tell you, I don't care how well you've been raised or who you are, you're going to need some therapy," Alexander said. PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE Alexander went on to explain that he had one vision for himself when he was young, one dream to accomplish, and that was to make it to Broadway. "My fantasy of a successful life for myself as an actor growing up in New Jersey was getting across the river and working on those Broadway stages. That was the pinnacle for me," he began. GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE He continued, "I didn't think about television. I didn't think about film. I dreamt about a life in the theater. God gave me that starting at age 21. By the time I was 30, I'd won a Tony Award. And now they throw in my path 'Pretty Woman,' some of the other films, 'Seinfeld.' And I now live a life as an actor that I never dreamt of, never. I never thought I would have this kind of money, that I could keep my family the way I keep them, that I would have these opportunities, that I would work with the people I've met." Alexander said that when "Seinfeld" ended, his first thought wasn't to try and replace that level of success, rather he was in awe that he was able to get there in the first place. "So, if you hit that and then that goes away, I would never go, 'Why couldn't I keep that?' I go, 'I can't believe I ever got that.' That's not what I was thinking. So for me, life gave me more than I ever dreamed of," he said. "I didn't expect that to last. I objectively could sit back. And one of the reasons that we were so adamant at the end about making money on 'Seinfeld' is because I grew up at a time when if you had a hit series on television, you never worked again. I mean, that was it." LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS "Seinfeld" is an American sitcom created by comedian Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David.

During his opening monologue on HBO’s "Real Time," Maher hit back against criticism of his latest dinner with Trump — in which sports commentator Stephen A. Smith and musician Kid Rock also attended. "Yeah, I did it again, b----es," Maher said, referring to the Oct. 15 dinner, which followed his first dinner with Trump in April 2025. He then doubled down on his decision to attend, adding, "You know what? F--- you. I like these dinners." BILL MAHER CLAIMS DONALD TRUMP FELT 'BETRAYED' BY HIM WITH 'SILLY' FEUD AFTER CORDIAL 2025 DINNER Maher's confirmation that he attended a second White House dinner comes after Trump told reporters last week that he enjoyed his time eating alongside the three celebrities. "The dinner last night with Kid Rock and Stephen A. [Smith] and Bill Maher was great," Trump said. "I think they had a good time." The president added that Maher "likes me a lot more than people understand." "We talked about everything. It lasted a long time," Trump added. TRUMP SPILLS DETAILS ABOUT DINNER WITH BILL MAHER, STEPHEN A SMITH AND KID ROCK AT THE WHITE HOUSE In the days leading up to the meal, Maher said he would be dining with the president. "I'm having dinner with him again next week," Maher told Hollywood agent and executive Ari Emanuel during a conversation on Maher's "Club Random" podcast earlier this month. "After the first dinner, I went back to doing what I do ... But then, like, he just, out of the blue, let's have dinner again. And I was like, great. And he was really nice," Maher said.  "Like, I promise I won't say bad things about you like I did the last time.' And I texted back, and I said, 'You know what, you're the president of the United States. Say whatever the f--- you want. I'm just glad we're talking.' It's like being called a 'hockey puck' by Don Rickles. It's just what he does. It's how he talks." Maher previously made headlines in April 2025 after dining at the White House with Trump, Kid Rock and UFC CEO Dana White. He later told his audience he may have misjudged the president’s demeanor, saying Trump was "more self-aware" in private. "You can hate me for it, but I’m not a liar. Trump was gracious and measured," Maher said in 2025. "And why isn’t that in other settings? I don’t know, and I can’t answer, and it’s not my place to answer. I’m just telling you what I saw, and I wasn’t high." BILL MAHER REVEALS HE'S HAVING DINNER WITH TRUMP AGAIN, SAYS HE WAS 'REALLY NICE' BY TEXT However, Maher has continued to criticize the president. In June, he mocked Trump’s Iran deal, saying the president went from demanding "unconditional surrender" to settling for a memorandum of understanding (MOU) while the White House touted the framework as a foreign policy win. "We got everything we wanted except for everything we asked for," Maher said. Jason Mudd, CEO of Axia Public Relations, told Fox News Digital that he thought Maher’s acknowledgment of his second dinner with Trump was likely the result of a preconceived plan to double-down on his attendance.  "Maher walked in with a plan. His Friday monologue showed it. I said last week that each event guest needs a prepared message in anticipation of public criticism," Mudd said. Mudd said Maher's willingness to address criticism directly while appearing genuine could help him retain support from fans who object to his relationship with Trump. "If Bill Maher were my client, I'd advise him to keep sounding like himself. A host who sounds like a surrogate loses credibility," he said. "Maher sounded like Maher, so that risk stays low. Repetition is the next risk, because each new dinner invites the same questions." "Comedians win by joking first, not by clarifying," Mudd added. "Naming the backlash before his critics do takes much of their power away." Fox News’ Joseph A. Wulfsohn contributed to this report.

Earlier in the day, police officers preemptively searched protesters, and arrested people suspected of carrying potential weapons, including fireworks and ball bearings, Reuters reported. Nuñez did not specify where the arrests were made.  In Paris, where police estimated 110,000 people marched, officers conducted more than 3,000 checks and arrested 65 people, the BBC reported. The French Interior Ministry said about 410,000 people participated in protests nationwide, while union organizers estimated attendance at 800,000. In Paris, union organizers put turnout at 250,000, compared with the police estimate of 110,000, according to CBS News. AMERICANS WARNED ABOUT PARIS TRAVEL AFTER VIOLENCE, LOOTING AND TEAR GAS-FILLED STREETS "Violent individuals have no place in the marches," the Paris Police Department said in a social media post. "The objective is clear: to prevent troublemakers from joining the procession, and to ensure the safety of the demonstrators." Central Paris resembled a city under lockdown, as shopkeepers boarded up storefronts, museums closed and more than 20 metro stations suspended service. In other cities — including Clermont-Ferrand, Grenoble, Lille and Nice — police have resorted to firing tear gas to break up unruly crowds, Reuters reported. Also in Nice, police used a water cannon to disperse a group of demonstrators who refused to pull back. And in Marseille and Lyon, there have been clashes between police officers and hooded youths. FRANCE’S TEEN RIOTS TAKE EXPLOSIVE NEW TURN AS GOVERNMENT POINTS FINGER AT HARD LEFT Some 70,000 police officers have been deployed across France to clamp down on agitators and prevent the kind of unrest seen during recent demonstrations, when cars were torched and the city hall building in Limoges was set on fire. Last weekend, more than 2,700 people were arrested during protests that later turned into riots and looting sprees. The nationwide marches were meant to reflect broader dissatisfaction with the French government, with protesters taking to the streets to air a range of different grievances. The protests began weeks earlier and were led by high school and university students. They were frustrated with teacher shortages and poor conditions at schools, including overcrowded classrooms and dilapidated buildings. The movement gained momentum when major labor unions joined the demonstrations, broadening the protests to include opposition to the government's austerity policies and concerns over wages, pensions and the overall cost of living.

More than 5,000 passengers boarded Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas in New Jersey on Oct. 18, expecting a seven-day cruise to Florida and the Bahamas. But forecasts of stormy weather off the East Coast prompted the cruise line to change the itinerary, sending the ship north to Halifax, Nova Scotia, according to reports. The ship stopped in Halifax for about 24 hours, giving passengers time to explore ashore, shop and take harbor rides. It departed Wednesday evening and is scheduled to return to New Jersey on Sunday after three days at sea. OUTRAGED CRUISE PASSENGERS SOUND OFF ABOUT 'IMMENSE DISAPPOINTMENT' AFTER ABRUPT CANCELLATION The line announced the changed itinerary the evening before the ship sailed, according to reports, leaving passengers with little time to adjust. "My husband said to me, 'This is a joke, right?'" New Jersey resident Marie Durning told CTV News. "I have my winter hat and earmuffs, but I forgot my scarf," she said, adding that she was left scrambling to repack. Daytime temperatures hovered in the upper 40s to low 50s this week in Halifax, with overnight lows in the 30s, according to weather reports. ANGRY CRUISE PASSENGERS SAY FRUSTRATING ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISCLOSED BEFORE BOOKING For some, the surprise destination was a chance to make the most of an unfamiliar city. "I’m grateful and I’m going to make the best of it," Jim Matthews, who lives near Paterson, New Jersey, told the outlet. "And I have found out that Halifax is a beautiful city."

The comedian went on a tirade against DirecTV, suggesting the satellite-TV provider missed an obvious advertising opportunity – "Larry the Cable Guy has switched to DirecTV" – because of concerns about his image. During an appearance on "The MeatEater Podcast," Larry recalled seeing a DirectTV commercial with an actor "back in the day," and said, "The first thing I thought was, why don't they get me? ‘Larry the Cable Guy is switching to DirecTV.’" JEFF FOXWORTHY REVEALS HOW 'REDNECK' INSULT INSPIRED DECADES OF COMEDY A podcast host agreed with the idea. "Oh, dude, that would have been genius," The comedian agreed, "It would have been huge!" Larry said he believed the company's concern was that his Southern accent and edgy humor might appeal to only one slice of America and make him too controversial for a national advertising campaign. "At the time, ‘Well, Larry the Cable Guy is only really for one part of the country, you know, ’cause of the Southern accent, sometimes he says things that are a little controversial,'" he explained of the general sentiment then. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS But the comedian rejected that reasoning. "Meanwhile, you got freaking rappers singing about killing cops" and making degrading remarks about women, he argued. "They're getting all kinds of corporate stuff. I'm like going, 'How am I controversial when you got … you know what I mean?" GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE He singled out Snoop Dogg, who has appeared in major advertising campaigns, including Super Bowl commercials. Larry emphasized that he did not fault the rapper for accepting those opportunities. "I got nothing against Snoop Dogg," he said. "God bless Snoop Dogg." He later added, "There's a lot of hypocrisy in corporate, who they get and who they don't get. Look, I've had a good career. I ain't worried about it. But I'm just saying, that DirecTV pissed me off." PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE He said again that he doesn't have any issue with Snoop Dogg, explaining, "I love everybody, and I'm happy for everybody's career. I'm not mad at them, I'm upset at the corporations that would say ‘you're too controversial,' but then they'll put somebody else that's even way more controversial.’" Larry, whose real name is Daniel Whitney, built a national following with the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, alongside Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Ron White.  His signature catchphrase, "Git-R-Done," and blue-collar comedy persona helped launch a career that has included stand-up, comedy albums, movies and television.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adcfb8911846704b3a7f17c Dream, Valkyries stay off court for fourth WNBA Finals national anthem as some fans remain seated te 2026-10-24T18:40:09.922Z Dream, Valkyries stay off court for fourth WNBA Finals national anthem as some fans remain seated The Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries were off the court for the national anthem before Saturday’s Game 4 of the WNBA Finals at State Farm Arena, marking their fourth straight absence in the series. Some fans also remained seated during the performance, including spectators who kept their hats on. I attempted to observe what Atlanta’s players do after leaving the court, but arena staff told me my credential did not grant access to that area and escorted me back to my assigned media seat. WNBA PLAYERS, COACHES REFUSE TO EXPLAIN NATIONAL ANTHEM ABSENCES AMID MOUNTING CRITICISM An employee inside State Farm Arena told OutKick that Dream players stand in a hallway after leaving the court before games. OutKick asked the Dream to confirm whether players remain there during the national anthem and explain what they do during the performance. The team did not immediately respond. Players from both teams said Friday that staying off the court during the anthem has been their practice for years. In the first three games, both teams left shortly before the anthem and returned seconds after it ended. Games 1 and 2 were played at Chase Center in San Francisco on Oct. 17 and 19. The series moved to Atlanta for Game 3 on Oct. 21. Atlanta entered Saturday with a 2–1 lead in the best-of-seven series after winning Wednesday’s Game 3, 97–71. The anthem absences have drawn criticism from President Donald Trump, who urged fans to stop watching the WNBA at an Oct. 22 rally in Iowa. Vice President JD Vance also called the absences "disgraceful." Atlanta coach Karl Smesko was asked Friday why his team left the floor for the anthem and whose decision that was. "We’re just kind of focused on the Finals," Smesko said. Asked whether he had any further comment about the anthem and his team’s absences on the league’s biggest stage, Smesko said, "No." An Atlanta public relations representative then moved to the next question. Dream guard Rhyne Howard was asked Friday about calls to exclude players from Team USA if they do not stand for the national anthem during the WNBA season. Riley Gaines and former Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones have argued that anthem conduct should carry consequences when athletes seek to represent the United States internationally. "I don’t think I’ve been on the floor for the national anthem for any of my tenure in Atlanta, so if that’s what people are gonna look to nitpick for then so be it," Howard said. "But as far as competing for your team, when I go put on USA jersey I’m out for the national anthem every time, there’s no doubt about it." "Yes, I love the country that I play for and I love what we have here," she added. Howard and Dream teammate Angel Reese represented the United States at September’s FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup, where both stood for the anthem. Golden State had no players on that U.S. roster, although Valkyries head coach Natalie Nakase served as an assistant coach. OutKick followed up with Howard: "Is there a reason you’re not on the court for the anthem?" Howard and an Atlanta public relations representative both responded, "Next question." During Friday’s media availability in Atlanta, OutKick asked Nakase whose decision it was for Golden State to stay off the court and why. "We’re two years in," Nakase said. "That’s been part of our pregame." Asked again who decided and why, she said, "I really don’t know." "I understand your question," Nakase added. "I’m not trying to, you know, not answer your question. It’s just part of our pregame." OutKick followed up: "What do you do during those 90 seconds that you’re off the court?" "I’m with my staff, so I’m focused on my plays," Nakase said. Golden State’s public relations staff then moved to the next reporter. OutKick did not get an opportunity to ask why those preparations needed to happen during the anthem rather than before or afterward. OutKick also asked Valkyries forward Gabby Williams whether the anthem absences are meant as a protest. "No," she said. Asked why the team was off the court, Williams responded: "That’s been the routine for like, seven years now." A Valkyries public relations representative then said, "Next question." Williams was born in Nevada, holds U.S. and French citizenship and represents France internationally. She joined Golden State this year after playing for Chicago from 2018–20 and Seattle from 2022–25. Williams’ reference to roughly seven years would reach back to her time in Chicago and span the three WNBA teams she has played for, though she did not explain whether each followed the same routine or how it began. There is a history of WNBA teams staying off the court as a demonstration. During the 2017 Finals, Los Angeles Sparks players voted to remain in the locker room in solidarity with Black Lives Matter, according to reporting at the time. Atlanta also published players’ union messaging in its Aug. 2, 2020, game notes. It said "the anthem does not represent freedom, justice and liberty for all Americans" and that players would "continue to protest" in various forms. Williams denied that the absences are a protest, but the pregame routine explanation still did not identify who established the practice or why it coincides with the anthem. The WNBA’s 2026 official rulebook says players, coaches and trainers are to "stand and line up in a dignified posture" along the sidelines or on the foul line during the national anthem. The Associated Press reported Oct. 20 that the league suspended its anthem protocols in 2017. The provision remains in the 2026 rulebook. OutKick has asked the WNBA to clarify its current requirements and enforcement, whether discipline is planned or under consideration, and whether teams have received instructions about being on the court. The league has not answered multiple requests for comment. Friday’s interviews were OutKick’s first opportunity to put the anthem questions directly to players and coaches. OutKick had attended all 13 formal press conferences during the first three Finals games without being called on. The emailed inquiries began after Game 1 on Oct. 17. OutKick followed up with the WNBA, Dream and Valkyries on Oct. 18 and again Oct. 20, asking about the absences, the teams’ plans for subsequent games and any league instructions. OutKick also contacted NBA Executive Vice President and Chief Communications Officer Mike Bass on Oct. 20. The inquiry asked about the NBA’s role in enforcing the WNBA provision, whether Commissioner Adam Silver or other NBA officials had discussed the absences with WNBA leadership, and possible exemptions or discipline. The WNBA, NBA and both teams’ front offices have not responded to OutKick’s repeated emailed requests for comment about the anthem absences. Friday’s responses came from players and coaches during media availabilities. Four games, two arenas and a week of questions later, both teams are still leaving the floor for the anthem. And no one has given a good answer as to why.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adcf48011846704b3a7ef9e Valley icon: A look back at Larry Fitzgerald’s legendary career with the Arizona Cardinals te 2026-10-24T18:10:08.358Z Valley icon: A look back at Larry Fitzgerald’s legendary career with the Arizona Cardinals PHOENIX – On Dec. 26, 2020, Larry Fitzgerald walked off the field as a member of the Arizona Cardinals for the final time. There was no grandiose farewell tour – the wide receiver still has not officially retired – and there were no cheers from fans donning his No. 11 echoing across State Farm Stadium due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A 17-year professional career during which he etched his name in the record books, put his team on his back when it mattered most, and captured the hearts and minds of an entire fanbase came to an unceremonious end.  Nearly six years later, Fitzgerald will take center stage on the Cardinals’ home turf once again during his Ring of Honor ceremony at halftime of Sunday’s contest against the Denver Broncos.  He has already been recognized by the NFL with his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August, but Arizona officially retiring his No. 11 also makes him one of six former players to receive such an honor since the franchise was founded in 1898. “To now be amongst that luxurious group is a tremendous honor and I appreciate the Bidwills for even honoring me with that,” Fitzgerald said at a news conference Thursday at the Cardinals practice complex in Tempe.  Oddly enough, Fitzgerald’s journey in Arizona began when the team missed out on the No. 1 overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft and the right to draft quarterback Eli Manning. A loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17 of the 2003 season would have ensured a league-worst 3-13 record, but Josh McCown’s game-winning touchdown pass to Nathan Poole as time expired moved the Cardinals down two spots. Arizona then selected the 6-foot-3, 225-pound receiver No. 3 overall after he took home the Biletnikoff Award as the nation’s top receiver and finished second in the Heisman Trophy race as a sophomore at the University of Pittsburgh. It only took Fitzgerald two seasons to prove he was capable of living up to the billing as he led the league in receptions in 2005 with 103 for 1,409 yards and 10 touchdowns on the way to earning his first Pro Bowl selection.  The 2005 season was also the first time the wideout played alongside quarterback and fellow Pro Football Hall of Fame member Kurt Warner. In 60 games together from 2005-09, the duo combined for 4,583 yards and 39 touchdowns. Fitzgerald shared a moment with Warner before receiving his gold jacket at the Hall of Fame, and during his induction speech, the receiver made sure to pay tribute to his former teammate. “There have been a lot of great players across a lot of great teams/organizations over the years, but there are very few that become the first person you think of when mentioning that team or organization,” Warner told Cronkite News. “Larry Fitzgerald is one of those few. “I am honored to call Larry a friend and a teammate, and I can think of no one, in any sport, that deserves an honor like this more.” The on-field connection between Fitzgerald and Warner paved the way for the Cardinals to reach the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history during the 2008-09 season. In particular, Fitzgerald put together one of the greatest postseason runs in NFL history with 30 catches for 546 yards and seven touchdowns across four games. His two fourth-quarter touchdowns, including a 64-yard TD catch that became an iconic Super Bowl moment, put Arizona ahead 23-20 in the waning moments of Super Bowl 43. Ultimately, it wasn’t enough to prevent a heartbreaking, last-minute, 27-23 defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers. “It wasn’t just the Super Bowl, it was how Larry kind of carried us there from jump balls in Atlanta to Carolina, going across the middle and blocking and making catches and going for pylons,” former Arizona Cardinals center Lyle Sendlein said. From 2007-13, Fitzgerald recorded four seasons of at least 90 receptions and five of at least 1,000 yards. He also led the league in receiving touchdowns twice during that stretch. As a result, the wideout earned seven consecutive Pro Bowl nods, two Second-Team All-Pro selections and one First-Team All-Pro selection. Even turning him upside down didn’t slow down his dominance as proven by ESPN’s Sports Science. However, the Cardinals only made the playoffs once over the next five seasons after 2008, a time frame in which Fitzgerald played with eight different quarterbacks. A 5-11 finish in 2012 led Arizona to fire coach Ken Whisenhunt and hand the reins to Bruce Arians, someone who was already familiar with the receiver as a bystander. “He was at Pitt when I was with the Steelers, so I kind of knew him coming into the draft and early in his career,” Arians said. “He had that great playoff run to the Super Bowl, and I was on the other sidelines, so I saw him go screaming down the middle of that field.” A trade for quarterback Carson Palmer, who combined with Fitzgerald for 4,033 yards and 28 touchdowns in 60 games, brought the Cardinals back-to-back postseason appearances. The second of those, in 2015-16, produced one of the most iconic moments of the receiver’s career. On the first play of overtime in an NFL Divisional Round bout against the Green Bay Packers at State Farm Stadium, Fitzgerald turned a full-body heave from Palmer into a 75-yard sprint as defenders desperately tried to bring him down. Seconds later, he took the ball into the end zone on a shovel pass to cement an unforgettable 26-20 playoff victory. “I think Larry came up to me, middle of the fourth quarter and pointed that play out,” Arians said. “I said, ‘Yeah, I know you’re going to be wide open. (We’ve) just got to get the right spot for it.’ “Not thinking that they were going to throw two Hail Marys and put us in overtime, but that was the perfect spot for it, and Carson knew he was going to be wide open.” The following season, Fitzgerald’s off-the-field contributions were brought to the forefront when he was named a co-winner of the 2016 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award.  The Larry Fitzgerald Foundation has been dedicated to breast cancer awareness since 2005 in honor of his mother, Carol Fitzgerald, after her passing in 2003. Through both his foundation and his own personal donations, he has also supported academics, youth sports, international economic development and providing aid-related technologies to people in need in Africa. During team functions, Fitzgerald was adamant about doing his part to make sure a tight-knit bond existed within the Cardinals’ locker room. “When we went on road trips, he would gather the guys and take us to bowling alleys and dinners,” Sendlein said. “On the field and on the practice field, he led by his work ethic and effort and obviously his abilities, but off the field, he was a leader of getting guys together and having that camaraderie outside of the field.” The 2017 season was the final time Fitzgerald earned a Pro Bowl nod after crossing the 1,000- yard mark for the ninth time in his career. He surpassed Terrell Owens for the second-most receiving yards all-time in November 2018 before adding the second-most career receptions all-time to his résumé 10 months later.  By the time his career came to a close in late 2020, Fitzgerald had 1,432 receptions for 17,492 yards and 121 touchdowns. His streak of catching at least one pass a game hadn’t been broken since Nov. 2004, and he ended up with more total tackles (41) than dropped passes (35). Unfortunately, the wideout was also never able to obtain a Super Bowl trophy to go along with his impeccable list of accomplishments. The Cardinals only made the playoffs three times outside of 2008 during his career and they finished with an overall record of 136-144-2 from 2004-20, yet Fitzgerald never wavered in his loyalty to the organization. “It wasn’t always great,” Fitzgerald said. “It was a lot of down times and tough times, and times where I could have said, ‘Grass might be greener on the other side.’ No, I’m going to try to do everything I can to figure it out. Make it right and weather the storm.” With his Ring of Honor ceremony approaching, Fitzgerald is still humbled by the status he holds with the Cardinals’ fan base, but he is not afraid to pass the spotlight to the franchise’s current players. “I still think to a certain degree that I have it, but it’s not like I’m in the spotlight like Trey (McBride) is or how Budda (Baker) is or (Jeremiyah) Love. They’re in the fight every single day, so I think the onus is a little bit higher with them,” Fitzgerald said. “I’m kind of washed now and the kids are like, ‘Hey, you’re Larry Fitzgerald, right? So, my dad used to really like you man.’ It’s like it’s kind of moved on.” Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill, Pro Football Hall of Fame CEO Jim Porter, several of Fitzgerald’s former teammates including Sendlein, and Fitzgerald’s son, Devin Fitzgerald, will all be in attendance during the ceremony. Sadly, Fitzgerald’s father, Larry Fitzgerald Sr., died on June 1 before he could see his son immortalized in Canton or Glendale. “It’s been a really tough time because the sacrifices he made to get me (to) this place are immense, and they don’t show up on the stat sheet,” Fitzgerald said. “Thousands of hours driving me around, and I was being a jerk and not doing right. Not writing me off, but just continuing to love me and help me through the process of growing up.” Just as Cardinals fans are eager to see Fitzgerald honored by the organization to which he dedicated his entire career, he is equally excited to be in the presence of those who supported him for 17 years. “Just how much I appreciate them, what it meant to be able to don that Cardinals helmet,” Fitzgerald said when asked what he wants Cardinals fans to know. “The memories that we’ve been able to share out there in Glendale, I still remember 2006 like it was yesterday. “It’s the electricity and driving up to the stadium. First time pulling into A-lot and seeing all the people on top of the stands cheering. Just all the energy that I received, all those times coming into that place and the love that I see still to this day going around in the community. I just want to be able to reiterate how much that has meant to me and my family, and something that I’ll never forget.” Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adcf47f11846704b3a7ef95 Larry Fitzgerald gets his flowers: Who else should join him in the Cardinals Ring of Honor? te 2026-10-24T18:10:07.486Z Larry Fitzgerald gets his flowers: Who else should join him in the Cardinals Ring of Honor? PHOENIX – Getting inducted into a team’s ring of honor means being forever enshrined among the greats. Leaving a mark on a franchise and seeing that reflected in its legacy is something every player strives for but only a few achieve. In the case of Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, the induction was a no-brainer – a formality that will be finalized Sunday when the franchise icon has his No. 11 retired and his name added to the ring at halftime of the team’s game against the Denver Broncos at State Farm Stadium.  After being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August, Fitzgerald will become the 20th name engraved in the Cardinals’ ring and the sixth player to have his number retired, joining Larry Wilson, Pat Tillman, Stan Mauldin, J.V. Cain and Marshall Goldberg. Getting his flowers from the franchise Fitzgerald gave so much to is only fitting, but it also raises the question: Who else should be inducted into the Cardinals Ring of Honor? There are a number of worthy candidates, including Larry Centers, Jackie Smith, Luis Sharpe, Anquan Boldin, Bruce Arians and Patrick Peterson. One of the most notable names is Smith, a tight end who spent 15 years with the St. Louis Cardinals, where he became the career leader in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns by a tight end. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1994, making him the only Hall of Famer who played a significant portion of his career with the franchise that is not in the Cardinals Ring of Honor. Smith, 86, was selected by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 10th round of the 1963 NFL Draft, was a five-time Pro Bowler and widely credited for revolutionizing the tight end position during his time with St. Louis. While there is no clear reason why Smith hasn’t been inducted, there has been speculation. “I think from what I’ve read, Jackie Smith made some comments that didn’t go over well with (Arizona owner) Bill Bidwill,” said Kent Somers, a former Cardinals beat reporter and columnist for the Arizona Republic. “So you know that’s always been a glaring omission.” Smith’s departure from the team was filled with friction. After retiring in late 1977, the Cardinals reached out to him about a potential return for the 1978 season. After he took a physical, the team said he failed it and that one more hit could paralyze him.  Smith publicly questioned whether owner Bill Bidwill fabricated the medical excuse to avoid paying him or bringing him back, leaving a permanently strained relationship between Smith and the front office. Soon after, legendary Cowboys coach Tom Landry coaxed him out of retirement and he helped Dallas reach the Super Bowl in January of 1979 where they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers.  Smith said his continued exclusion from the Ring of Honor is out of his control.  “That’s not up to me to do something like that,” Smith said. “It’s up to the people who I work for and work with. The power is with them and not up to me, and it’s not up to me to comment on it or say anything about it.”  Along with Smith, another pass catcher who isn’t in the Ring of Honor is wide receiver Anquan Boldin, one of the best receivers in franchise history. Drafted by the Cardinals in 2003, Boldin spent seven years with the team, racking up 7,520 yards and 586 receptions, which rank fourth and second, respectively in franchise history. Although he played on other teams, his stint with Arizona was his best and helped him earn Hall of Fame consideration. Boldin’s departure in 2009 was bitter and may have strained the relationship with the Bidwills. He was unhappy with his contract and wanted to be paid on par with Fitzgerald. Somers believes the snub doesn’t bother Boldin, as he has committed his time to helping his community after he retired in 2017, saying his “life’s mission” was bigger than football.  Another name to consider is fullback Larry Centers, who spent nine seasons with Arizona and was instrumental in the Cardinals’ success in the 1990s. He had 827 career receptions for 6,797 yards and 28 TDs. “One of the great receiving running backs of all time and (he) helped the Cardinals to that playoff berth in 1998,” Somers said. “I just don’t know how the Cardinals view him as a player.”  Some other names Somers mentioned are cornerback Patrick Peterson, coach Bruce Arians and offensive lineman Luis Sharpe.  Could lockdown cornerback Patrick Peterson become the next former Cardinal to be inducted into the team’s Ring of Honor? (File photo by Grace Johnson/Cronkite News) Peterson played 10 seasons with Arizona, made first-team All-Pro three times and ended his career sixth in career interceptions in Cardinals’ history with 28. Some would argue that Peterson’s moment will come, considering he just retired in 2025, and he is expected to be the next player inducted after Fitzgerald.  Somers believes Arians should also get consideration after he coached the 2015 team to a 13-3 record and an NFC Championship appearance. Despite only a five-year tenure with the Cardinals, he helped turn around the organization, earning the most wins by a coach in franchise history with a 50-32-1 overall record.  “He was the coach for the best five-year period in franchise history just in terms of number of wins and Cardinals coaches, and averaged almost 10 wins a year,” Somers said. “(He) helped turn the organization around and went to an NFC title game.”   When it comes to the longest-tenured players in Cardinals’ history, the name that stands out is Sharpe, who was with the team for his entire 13-year career. He started all 189 games he played, which is the most by an offensive lineman in franchise history.  Dan Dierdorf is the only offensive linemen enshrined in the Cardinals Ring of Honor, but Sharpe certainly makes an argument that he should join him. He is often viewed as the best left tackle in franchise history with three Pro Bowl selections. Although Sharpe had off-the-field struggles, his daughter Rebekah Sharpe said her father hoped to be included in the Ring of Honor before he died from heart failure in 2025 at the age of 65.  “It didn’t bother him that significantly, but you know he was very well aware,” she said. “I had mentioned the over two-decade battle with substance misuse, and it was a very public demise and notable downfall.”   Sharpe went through a well-documented rough stretch, but he sought help and rehabilitated himself. He and Rebekah were recently selected as ambassadors for the NFL’s Hall of Fame’s health initiative.  “The Cardinals Ring of Honor was not top of mind for him,” Rebekah said. “But I think that he really owned his recovery and got back into the community and was working with former teammates and other NFL players and, of course, the NFL Hall of Fame.”  While there are a number of people who might eventually be recognized in the Cardinals Ring of Honor, Sunday’s ceremony at State Farm Stadium cements Fitzgerald’s legacy as one of the greatest to play the game.    Drafted third overall by the Cardinals in 2004, Fitzgerald spent his entire 17-year career with the team, accumulating 1,432 receptions and 17,492 yards. Both marks are the most in Cardinals’ history and second most in NFL history behind only Jerry Rice.  Somers considers Fitzgerald a top-two player in franchise history. “You’d have to put him right up there with Larry Wilson, the great safety,” Somers said. “I think those guys are whatever order you wanna put those two in, 1A and 1B.” Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adcf47c11846704b3a7ef4f Terrell Owens Rips 49ers WR Mike Evans Over ‘Average Plays’ te 2026-10-24T18:10:04.072Z Terrell Owens Rips 49ers WR Mike Evans Over ‘Average Plays’ Hall of Famer Terrell Owens had a blunt take on 49ers WR Mike Evans’ routes, and a bold claim about his own NFL future.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adceb2611846704b3a7ed81 Jalen Hurts puts spotlight on blood thinners: 5 mistakes that could put patients at risk te 2026-10-24T17:30:14.090Z Jalen Hurts puts spotlight on blood thinners: 5 mistakes that could put patients at risk Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts' diagnosis of blood clots in both lungs has put blood thinners in the spotlight. Hurts is receiving treatment with the medication and is expected to miss the remainder of the 2026 season, according to the NFL. Even young, physically active people can develop dangerous blood clots, especially when risk factors such as an injury, long travel or recent surgery combine. "Being in shape lowers your risk, but it doesn’t make you immune," said Dr. Joseph V. Lombardi, chief physician executive at AtlantiCare. CHRISTINA APPLEGATE'S MS MISDIAGNOSIS AFTER 5 YEARS OF TREATMENT EXPOSES ALARMING MEDICAL REALITY Hurts’ case also highlights the precautions patients taking blood thinners may need to follow. The medication can help prevent dangerous clots from growing or forming but can also make it harder for the body to stop bleeding after an injury — a concern for athletes playing high-contact sports or anyone who falls or gets hurt. "Taking [blood thinners] consistently, understanding potential interactions, and recognizing warning signs can greatly reduce the risk of complications," Dr. Yazan Abou-Ismail, a hematologist and thrombosis expert at the University of Utah, told Fox News Digital. STACKING SUPPLEMENTS WITHOUT KEY TEST CAN DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD, EXPERT WARNS Here are five mistakes patients should avoid: While some patients only need blood thinners for a limited time, others may need them long term. When a clot has a clear cause, such as an injury, treatment often lasts about three months, Lombardi told Fox News Digital. The duration depends on factors including the reason for treatment and whether a patient has had previous clots, Abou-Ismail added. Stopping too soon can raise the risk of another clot, while continuing longer than prescribed may increase bleeding risk. SILENT INFLAMMATION COULD BE DAMAGING YOUR BODY — AND 5 HABITS MAY HELP KEEP IT IN CHECK Patients should not stop or extend treatment without speaking with their doctor. Missing doses repeatedly can weaken a medication's protection against clots, Abou-Ismail said, but what to do after a missed dose depends on the specific drug. Patients should follow the instructions for the prescription or call their pharmacist or doctor — not automatically take an extra dose to make up for a missed one. CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES Aspirin and NSAIDs including ibuprofen can increase bleeding risk when taken with blood thinners, Abou-Ismail said. Some prescription drugs and supplements, including fish oil and turmeric, can also affect bleeding or medication levels. Patients should ask a doctor or pharmacist before taking anything new, even if it is sold over the counter. Some bruising or minor bleeding may occur but persistent nosebleeds, blood in the urine or unexplained increases in bruising warrant a call to a health care provider, Abou-Ismail said. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER Uncontrolled bleeding, vomiting blood, black or tarry stools, a sudden severe headache or new confusion, vision changes or trouble speaking require urgent care. After a significant head injury, patients should seek medical evaluation, even if they initially feel fine, experts note. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ A hard hit or fall can lead to serious bleeding in patients taking a blood thinner, which is why Hurts cannot play football during treatment. Patients should ask their doctor which activities are safe for them. Some may be able to continue exercising but contact sports and other activities with a high risk of injury warrant extra caution. Blood thinners do not dissolve an existing clot, Lombardi cautioned. They help prevent it from growing while the body clears it over time. The right treatment and precautions vary, so patients should contact their care team with questions about doses, side effects or activity.

Speaking on "The Faulkner Focus," Brivael Le Pogam blamed decades of left-wing policies for what he described as growing unrest and declining public services in France. "Right now we are just seeing the dead end of socialism," Le Pogam, CEO and co-founder of Argil AI, said. FRENCH AI CEO WARNS AMERICANS AGAINST VOTING DEMOCRAT SAYING 'YOU DON'T WANT TO BE FRANCE' "It's super sad, and it's purely chaotic right now. And I think, so, basically there is a lot of different causes, but mainly for me, it's the consequences of socialism," he added. The demonstrations began with students expressing frustration over conditions at their schools and the quality of education. Protests have since spread across France, with some turning violent and leading to looting and thousands of arrests. On Saturday, thousands marched in Orléans, southwest of Paris, to protest what they described as fascism, while other demonstrators gathered in the capital. French authorities said they planned to deploy 70,000 police officers ahead of additional demonstrations to prevent a repeat of the destruction and looting seen the previous weekend. PHOTOS SHOW AFTERMATH OF RIOTS AS MASKED GROUPS CLASH WITH POLICE ACROSS FRANCE Le Pogam said that despite France's universal healthcare system, patients in some parts of the country face lengthy waits to see a doctor or receive certain medical services. "We are paying through taxes, through the salaries for that. But years by years, there is some zone in France where you need to wait, for example, one year to get a doctor," he said. Le Pogam argued that government control has also contributed to declining standards in education and other public institutions. "Basically like the education, everything touched by the states, it's just crumbled and becoming bad and bad year by year," he added. FIFTY ANTIFA GROUPS IN FRANCE JOIN VAST NETWORK TO ENSURE CHAOS IN WEEKEND PROTESTS French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday that the government would move to prohibit what he called "illegitimate" protests. He also accused "ultra-left groups" of fueling the unrest, saying their goal was to "bring down the Republic." President Donald Trump also expressed concern about the unrest and questioned whether the NFL should proceed with Sunday's scheduled regular-season game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints at Stade de France in Saint-Denis, just outside Paris. "I would have said the NFL could have probably postponed that match if you want to know. Because France is really in trouble," Trump told reporters Friday. "That's what happens when you go left. That's what happens when you allow unlimited numbers of people into your country from very unfriendly countries." CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE Le Pogam also criticized the government's response to the demonstrations, arguing that authorities have a responsibility to protect the public. "The crazy thing is the government say to the people to protect themselves and for me, it's crazy," he said. "It's literally the — it's the fate of the states to protect people, and we are seeing that everywhere."

But what if someone has already stolen your personal information and your credit report shows absolutely nothing? That's entirely possible. Credit monitoring can help detect certain types of identity theft, particularly fraud involving new credit accounts. However, criminals can also target your existing bank accounts, retirement savings, government benefits and phone number without triggering a traditional credit alert. As a result, a clean credit report can give you a false sense of security. Here's what credit monitoring can catch, what it might miss and how to better protect yourself.

IDENTITY THEFT PROTECTION IS CHANGING: WHAT TO LOOK FOR Credit monitoring tracks changes to your credit file. Depending on the service, it can alert you to suspicious activity involving your credit history. Common alerts include: These alerts can help you discover new account fraud before the damage grows. However, credit monitoring depends on information that lenders and other companies report to credit bureaus. Therefore, it cannot reliably detect identity theft that occurs entirely outside the credit reporting system. Criminals have several ways to misuse your information, steal money or make you more vulnerable to fraud without triggering a traditional credit monitoring alert. Here are six situations worth watching for. A criminal gains access to your existing checking account, savings account, retirement account or payment app. Because the account already exists, the takeover may never appear on your credit report. Instead, you might first discover the theft through an unfamiliar transaction or a notification from your financial institution. Someone uses your Social Security number to file a fraudulent tax return or claim government benefits. You may receive an IRS notice about a tax return you never filed. Alternatively, you could discover unemployment benefits claimed in your name. Neither situation necessarily changes your credit score. A thief uses your health insurance information to receive medical care, prescriptions or equipment. You might then receive bills for services you never used. Even worse, someone else's medical information could end up in your records. Traditional credit monitoring generally will not detect the misuse itself, although unpaid debts could eventually create other financial complications. Criminals may convince your mobile carrier to transfer your phone number to a SIM card or device they control. Once they have your number, they may intercept certain verification codes and attempt to access your accounts. A sudden loss of cellular service could be an early warning sign, especially if you did not request a change. A scammer tricks you into authorizing a wire transfer, sending money through a payment app or purchasing gift cards. Because you initiated the payment, even under false pretenses, traditional credit monitoring may have no indication that anything happened. Your financial institution might have separate fraud detection systems, but those protections vary. Your name, phone number, address and other personal details may appear on people-search websites or data broker databases. Criminals can use that information to create convincing phishing messages or impersonation scams. Although the exposure itself does not necessarily mean someone has stolen your identity, it can make you a more attractive target. The Federal Trade Commission identifies unauthorized bank withdrawals, unfamiliar medical bills and fraudulent tax filings among the warning signs of identity theft. SOMEONE COULD HAVE OPENED AN ACCOUNT IN YOUR NAME. CHECK NOW A credit score provides a snapshot of your creditworthiness based on information in your credit file. It does not show every account you own, or every place someone might use your personal information. For example, someone could access your retirement account while your credit score remains unchanged. Similarly, criminals might use your phone number to get into an existing account without ever applying for credit. That's why it's important to review your actual credit reports rather than relying on your score alone. Even then, you'll need to check your other accounts separately. Fortunately, you can look for suspicious activity without paying for an expensive monitoring service. Start with these six habits. Check your bank statements, investment accounts, retirement accounts and payment apps for unfamiliar transactions. Also, enable transaction and security alerts whenever your financial institutions offer them. Pay attention to IRS notices about returns you did not file or income from employers you don't recognize. You can also review your federal tax account through the official IRS website at irs.gov/ . You can also request a free six-digit Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) from the IRS. This helps prevent someone else from filing a fraudulent federal tax return using your Social Security number. The IRS issues a new IP PIN each year. Review your earnings history periodically to see whether it matches your actual employment. You can access your information through your my Social Security account at ssa.gov/myaccount. Unexpected earnings may require further investigation. Look for unfamiliar medical appointments, prescriptions, procedures or insurance claims. If something looks suspicious, contact your health insurance company or medical provider directly. Ask your carrier about account PINs, port-out protection and SIM swap safeguards. Additionally, consider using an authenticator app or security key instead of text-message verification when available. Search for your name, phone number and address to identify information exposed through people-search websites. You can request removal from individual sites or consider a reputable data removal service. Pro tip: Choose one day each month to review your accounts and important records. You can combine it with a bill-payment routine to make the habit easier to maintain. Credit monitoring remains useful, but it cannot catch every type of identity theft. Some identity theft protection services offer broader monitoring that can help identify suspicious activity involving financial accounts, personal information and online accounts. However, the features and level of protection depend on the provider and plan you choose. Before signing up, compare the features, coverage limits and costs. Pay attention to which financial accounts qualify for monitoring and whether the service offers restoration assistance if identity theft occurs. See my tips and best picks on Best Identity Theft Protection at Cyberguy.com Remember: No identity theft protection service can prevent every scam or detect every instance of fraud. These services work best alongside strong passwords, multifactor authentication, account alerts and regular reviews of your financial statements. If you suspect someone is using your information, act quickly. You do not need to wait for a credit monitoring alert. You can also review your credit reports at AnnualCreditReport.com. The FTC confirms that free weekly online reports are available from the three nationwide credit bureaus. I always encourage people to keep an eye on their credit, but I wouldn't rely on a credit score to tell me whether my identity is safe. Someone could be accessing an existing financial account or misusing personal information without causing any immediate change to that score. That's why I recommend checking financial statements, turning on account alerts and taking advantage of additional safeguards when they're available. Identity theft protection services can provide another layer of monitoring, but you still need to pay attention to activity in your accounts. When was the last time you checked your bank accounts, medical statements or phone account for signs of identity theft rather than relying on your credit score? Let us know in the comments below.

"I have never posted a political message on Facebook, not wanting to offend friends whose views may be very different than mine. I'm breaking that tradition because I voted early today, and I voted for James Talarico for the United States Senate," Neil Bush wrote on Facebook Tuesday. "My vote was motivated by two things: deep concern about Ken Paxton's record and genuine admiration for the character and principles I see in James Talarico." BUSH FAMILY ROYALTY BACKS DEMOCRAT IN BATTLE TO FLIP TEXAS BLUE Bush, the son of former President George H.W. Bush and brother of former President George W. Bush , broke with his family's longstanding Republican political tradition in backing the Democrat. Former President George W. Bush has maintained friendly relationships with Democratic former presidents, but his relationship with President Donald Trump has been strained since the 2016 Republican presidential primary, when Trump repeatedly attacked his brother Jeb Bush and mocked their mother, former first lady Barbara Bush. "I believe Donald Trump and those who have enabled him have done enormous damage to the Republican Party. I worry about a political culture in which loyalty to an individual takes precedence over loyalty to principle, and where those who hold power begin to believe they are no longer accountable," he added. "But my vote today was about much more than opposition to Ken Paxton." Neil is the second member of the Bush family to recently throw his support behind Talarico. Barbara Bush, daughter of former President George W. Bush, contributed $2,500 on Sept. 23 to Lone Star Rising PAC, a super PAC supporting the Democrat, according to federal campaign finance records reviewed by Fox News Digital. TRUMP-LINKED MAGA INC POURS $10M INTO KEN PAXTON'S TEXAS SENATE RACE AGAINST JAMES TALARICO Lone Star Rising PAC is one of the major outside groups spending to support Talarico and oppose Paxton in the closely contested Texas Senate race, according to federal campaign finance records. The younger Bush’s support for a Democrat comes as his brother, former President George W. Bush, has increasingly embraced bipartisan relationships in his post-presidency, most recently attending the opening of former President Barack Obama’s presidential center in Chicago in June. RNC CHAIR SAYS TALARICO'S GOP CROSSOVER HOPES ARE A 'PIPE DREAM': 'NOBODY IS GOING TO FOLLOW HIM' Bush and Michelle Obama have repeatedly spoken warmly about their friendship despite their political differences. At the Obama Center opening, Bush even gave Michelle Obama Altoids, recreating their famous mint/cough-drop exchange from John McCain’s 2018 funeral. Fox News Digital reached out to the White House, representatives for Neil Bush and the Paxton campaign for comment.

"The Justice Department is aware of these reports and will review the matter thoroughly. Where the facts and the law warrant action, the Department will not hesitate to act," a department spokesperson told Fox News Digital. A DOJ official separately said, "Based on what is known so far, the conduct described appears to raise viewpoint discrimination and First Amendment questions rather than sex discrimination. The Department is reviewing it." The Portland Police Bureau has also addressed the incident, saying two potential crimes have been reported. "Off duty PPB officers are routinely hired to work at professional games and other events at various venues in Portland, and there were several at the Thorns game last night. PPB officers were not involved in any removals. They were called in when some individuals were refusing to leave and laying down, blocking an exit. When asked by police officers, the individuals agreed to leave. Outside, in an effort to promote public safety, officers did separate two groups with opposing viewpoints for a short time," Sergeant Kevin Allen told Fox News Digital. "Two potential crimes were reported, case numbers 26-309064 (alleged harassment) 26-309306 (alleged vandalism). No one reported any injuries to police, and no injuries were visible. No immediate arrests were made or citations issued. The incidents are under investigation. Officers were wearing and activated BWCs according to PPB policy." The confrontation unfolded Friday during Portland’s match against the North Carolina Courage at Providence Park. Approximately 20 spectators kept their XX-XY Athletics shirts covered through the first half, then revealed them and unfurled a large "Save Women’s Sports" banner as the second half began. The organizers included activist Amy Sousa and commentator Brandi Kruse, who previously helped organize rallies supporting WNBA player Sophie Cunningham.

Sousa told OutKick that she and other attendees filed police reports afterward. "We were attacked by fans. We were hit with flags," she said.

Federal law also allows criminal prosecution under 18 U.S.C. § 242 when someone acting under color of law willfully deprives another person of a federally protected right. The DOJ could examine whether city officials helped set or enforce the decisions to remove the fans because of their views. If officials, or private staff acting with them, willfully violated spectators’ constitutional rights, federal criminal charges could follow.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adce41a11846704b3a7ebc3 Why the over 56.5 is the play as Houston visits undefeated Utah in Big 12 action te 2026-10-24T17:00:10.318Z Why the over 56.5 is the play as Houston visits undefeated Utah in Big 12 action There are just two ranked matchups today, and one of those was between two SEC big shots, and then this one between two Big 12 teams. The Big 12 hasn’t gotten a ton of love this season, but there are four teams in the top 14 of the national rankings. You could make an argument that this is the best conference in college football. It wouldn’t be a great argument, but you could make it. Tonight we have Houston taking on Utah in one of the best matchups of the day. The Houston Cougars come into the game with a 3-1 record and as the 14th-ranked team in the country. Their lone loss this year was against Texas Tech in a very close road game. They lost the game 28-26, clearly putting up a strong fight. It hasn’t been completely smooth sailing for the team, though. They’ve won the past four weeks, beating Georgia Southern by 14 points, then UCF by 10 the following week. In the past two weeks, the team has taken down Kansas State and Oklahoma State. Against Kansas State, they won by 19 points on the road. Against the Cowboys, they won by just three. In fairness to Houston, they entered the fourth quarter with an 11-point lead over Oklahoma State. The Cowboys put up 14 points in the quarter, but a Houston touchdown gave them a lead Oklahoma State could never get passed. THE SEC MIGHT HAVE MORE HEADLINERS, BUT THE BIG 12 HAS THE MOST UNDERRATED MATCHUP OF WEEK 4 The Utah Utes, the worst-named team in football, are 6-0 and the 10th-ranked team in the country. This will be the toughest game they’ve played to date, and it might be one they were already focused. Last week they took on Colorado on the road, but won 27-24. I think Utah might’ve already been thinking about this game, because the Buffaloes aren’t even close to being as good as the Utes. Sometimes teams just have bad games, but that’s okay. Utah has also beaten Kansas, Iowa State, Utah State, Arkansas, and Idaho this season. The only game that was within one score was the Colorado game. Their next closest game was against Iowa State, also a road game, where they still won by 14 points. At home this season, they’ve won by an average of 33.8 points. Their team is built around quarterback Devon Dampier. He has completed about 69% of passes this season with 15 touchdowns and four interceptions. He has also run for another three scores this season. He does a bit of everything for the team, and Houston will have their hands full trying to stop him. HOUSTON RALLIES FOR COMEBACK VICTORY OVER UCF IN FRONT OF A PAINFULLY SPARSE HOME CROWD This game features two really good offenses. Connor Weigman from the Cougars is one of the better quarterbacks in the league. He has 20 touchdown passes this season in seven games. Dampier might be slowed down a bit, but I doubt he can be stopped altogether. I expect the two teams to both challenge all three levels repeatedly. I’m going to take the over 56.5 in this game.

The 51-year-old former reality star took to TikTok on Thursday to celebrate her boyfriend Steve Neild’s birthday, and got support from her fans in the comments section. "Happy Birthday Steve ! Strength isn’t just about enduring—it’s about loving deeply enough to do what is right even when it costs you," one TikTok user wrote in the comments section. "Look at the beautiful life and happily ever after You have found now that You made sacrifices that no Mama should have had to make alone." They continued: "When people attack You, it might sting for a moment, but it can never shake who You are. It only confirms that You stood your ground and remained true through it all. God is guiding You two." ‘JON & KATE PLUS 8’ STAR COLLIN GOSSELIN ACCUSES MOM OF TRYING TO ‘BURY’ HIM TO ‘PROTECT HER REPUTATION’ KATE GOSSELIN DEFENDS HERSELF AGAINST SON COLLIN AS HE PREPARES TO RELEASE SHOCKING NEW MEMOIR Kate responded to the comment by thanking the fan, telling them, "I needed this encouragement and you are right," before adding that "I know who I am and my kids know who I truly am and to me, that’s all that matters." The exchange came shortly after Collin alleged on "The View" that his sister Hannah felt compelled to say the two of them had not spoken in a year as a form of "damage control" for having participated in an upcoming Netflix documentary alongside Collin and their father. In a statement, Hannah wrote that she has a relationship with her mother and other siblings, but has not "lived with my dad for over a year" and hasn't "spoken to Collin in close to a year." She added that she will not be making any more statements about "Collin's behavior growing up" or her experiences with him as a kid. "All families are very complicated, and that statement sounded like a lot of the words of my mother, especially the last part. What I do believe has happened is that Hannah’s caught in the middle — and nobody deserves that," Collin said on "The View." "I know what it feels like to have to fight to have a relationship with your siblings. I don’t have one with my siblings, and I know how much that hurts. Not only is she caught in the middle, but I do believe my mom is either leveraging finances or Hannah’s relationship with our siblings over Hannah." GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS He added that "Hannah opened up about a lot of truths" in the documentary and is "trying to do pre-damage control ... because my mom has placed that guilt on her," and that that is not fair for Hannah. Collin recently opened up about the alleged abuse he endured while living with his mother in his memoir, "In the Shadow of Eight." In the memoir, he accused his mother of restraining him with zip ties, hitting him when he failed to perform for cameras and isolating him in the family’s basement. He first spoke out against his mother in a 2022 interview with Entertainment Tonight, when he alleged his mom sent him to live at the Fairmount Behavioral Health System – a psychiatric hospital located in Philadelphia – without telling anyone in the family when he was 12 years old. She said he was diagnosed with a behavior disorder, and she couldn't meet his needs. PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE Collin left the facility and moved in with his father, Jon, in December 2018, after Jon was granted custody. His sister Hannah also lived with their father at the time. "I'd like an apology, simply put, an apology and for her to admit, and just take accountability for what she did," Collin told Fox News Digital earlier this month regarding his mother. "And to say, you know, 'I'm sorry that I've soiled your name, and I've made every effort to bury you, to protect my reputation,' I think that'd be very honest and very powerful for her to say that … just show accountability because everything she's done to protect her reputation, it's all been at my cost." Kate has previously denied allegations of abuse made by Collin. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adcdf6811846704b3a7ead9 Ole Miss and Texas collide in massive college football showdown with Arch Manning's season at stake te 2026-10-24T16:40:08.704Z Ole Miss and Texas collide in massive college football showdown with Arch Manning's season at stake Last week was honestly one of the craziest weeks of football I’ve ever seen. College football was absolutely wild. It seemed like essentially every team in the top-10 of the national ranks lost. There was upset after upset, and a few teams were on the verge of stumbling as well. Week 7 saw a bunch of top ranked matchups, so naturally there were going to be losses from top teams. This week doesn’t have nearly as many ranked matchups, but there is a massive one for Ole Miss and Texas. Ole Miss comes into this game ranked 7th in the nation, and they own a 5-1 record. Their lone loss in the season was to Florida. That came after their biggest win of the season, when they beat LSU. It was one of the most obvious let-down situations in football. In the past two weeks, the Rebels have rebounded. They beat Vanderbilt 52-17 following the loss to Florida. Then last week, they took down Missouri. That was an even more impressive win as they beat the Tigers 31-3. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE The Rebels still own one of the better defenses in the country – even though they gave up 52 to Florida. Their quarterback, Trinidad Chambliss, has been about as good as you could hope for. He has four interceptions on the season, but only one of those came in the loss. He has a rushing touchdown in five of the six Ole Miss games. He has thrown for two or more touchdowns in five of the six games as well. Those are impressive numbers and he has made a big difference for the team. He will have a challenge against a good Texas defense, but the Longhorns have struggled. Texas is arguably the most disappointing team in the country. They started the season once again with incredibly high expectations, but they fell apart. This is the last remaining game on the schedule that should be very difficult. I’m not trying to make excuses for the Longhorns, because their schedule has been tough, but with their talent, they shouldn’t have lost games, let alone back-to-back games. OLE MISS DEFENSE TAKES CHARGE, SHUTS DOWN MISSOURI'S HIGH-POWERED RUSHING ATTACK IN 31-3 WIN In the past two games, they lost both of them 27-24 to Oklahoma and Florida. Neither of those teams were ranked opponents, and both of the losses came in the state of Texas. It seems almost unfathomable that the team could’ve lost both of these games. A lot of the blame is falling on Arch Manning, but I don’t know that it is fair to give him all the blame. Manning hasn’t been a difference-maker, but I also don’t think he has cost the team games. He has completed about 64% of passes with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions this season. He had two against Oklahoma, so maybe that one was his fault. He has been sacked 17 times in six games, but the blame really should be on the coach for having a poor game plan. The line on this game has dropped significantly from the opening. Texas was a -9.5 favorite coming into this game when the lines opened. Now they are down to just -3.5. I don’t blame people for taking the points, and still think there is some value. The Rebels have a good offense, and a solid defense. Still, when a season is on the line, and a team is at home, you kind of have to think they will put their best effort out there. It wouldn’t be at all surprising to see Steve Sarkisian fired if they lose this game. I do expect Texas to win, so the -160 isn’t a terrible look, but I think this will be a lower scoring game. I’ll back the under 54.5.

Stephen A. Smith doubled down on defending his meeting with President Donald Trump during an episode of his "Straight Shooter" show on Thursday, challenging his critics by asking, "What the f--- are you doing?" Smith said during the show he wanted to bring several issues to Trump's attention, but his top priority was to tell the president, "With the squashing of DEI initiatives, it's essentially had a different kind of effect. It's discouraged CEOs of corporations in the private sector to be philanthropic and charitable with their money and give to HBCUs because they're fearful it will be perceived as a DEI initiative being exercised by them." "I needed the president to speak out against that, and he said he didn't think about that and that is something that he was going to tackle, not to mention the fact he followed up with a call to assure me that's exactly what he was going to tackle in a matter of days when he meets with these HBCU officials. Now I don't know what's going to happen, but I tried, as I always have and as I always will," Smith said. Smith met with Trump, comedian Bill Maher and musician Kid Rock at the White House on Oct. 15. JOY BEHAR WANTS TRUMP BACK ON ‘THE VIEW’ DESPITE SAYING HE’S ‘NOT LONG FOR THIS WORLD’ "All of these folks that are complaining about me showing up to the White House with Bill Maher, what the f--- are you doing? Have you done anything? Are you doing anything? I'm sorry for cussing. I don't mean to, apologizing to the executives at SiriusXM, but damn it. Sometimes we do stuff on the air that we do off the air. This is ridiculous. I mean, it's just, it's never enough," Smith argued. Smith repeatedly criticized comedian D.L. Hughley during the show, after Hughley questioned Smith's meeting with Trump on the "Uncertain" podcast. "Why is it that Trump feels so comfortable talking to you when he's shown an aversion to people that challenge him?" Hughley asked during the discussion, as he and his co-hosts criticized Smith for sitting down with the president. "If you challenge him, that's it. Why is it? It isn't that where Stephen A. Smith finds himself his positions, it is that why are people that have a disdain for us so comfortable around you?"  "I think that it says something about you when the people who hate us like you," Hughley added. "Why is it the people that hate my heroes love you?" Smith criticized Hughley over his comments, saying, "I'm sick and tired of people b----ing and moaning about what needs to be done in our community, but when somebody is actually trying to take steps to do something about it in our own small way, we selling out. We this, we that. What you doing? What you doing? It's a rhetorical question 'cause we know the answer ain't nothing but b----ing." TRUMP ADMIN'S PUSH TO SCRAP DEI IN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TAKES LANDMARK STEP WITH NEW HIRING RULE Smith also defended his Trump meeting during an appearance on "The View" on Wednesday. He told the co-hosts he would not apologize for it. Co-host Sunny Hostin asked Smith, "He has this history of racial bias that is so clear. Did you think meeting with him, that you got anywhere?" "I don't know. We'll find out, but he’s the president of the United States, and I’ll be damned if I’m not going to try," he said. "And the reality is I’m just speaking from a constitutional perspective in that regard." He repeatedly argued that Trump would remain in office until 2028 and that people needed to deal with it. "You’re going to have to deal with him," he continued. "And when it comes to getting things done, I’m all about exhausting every means and every measure to try to do what’s in the best interest of our community. I’m not apologizing for that to anybody."

Smith and Bill Maher, along with John Fetterman, are a dying breed of individuals who believe in the exchange of ideas and positions with those they all may disagree with, as exemplified by the recent dinner at the White House with President Trump and Kid Rock," Fox News contributor Joe Concha told Fox News Digital in a statement about Smith's remarks. "Unfortunately, the trend on the left is to shut down anyone through censorship or otherwise anything resembling debate."

It's like clockwork at this point with David Gabriel-Georges — a Tennessee Vols commit who is currently the No. 2 RB in America. Every week, it's something new. Way back in August, he dazzled America with a 3-touchdown showing on opening night. Not bad! In September, I featured Gabriel-Georges again, this time because he made an entire defense look like a pee-wee football team and rushed for five more touchdowns in a blowout win.

These guys are all about to be millionaires with the silly NIL rules, so we might as well get ahead of the curve and start identifying them early. So far this season, we've seen a wild Hail Mary in Florida, an entire California team get suspended because the mascot shot the bird to some fans, and a giant running back in Kentucky smashing heads. BEHEMOTH HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL STAR SLAMS DEFENDER TO THE GROUND LIKE A RAGDOLL AFTER INTERCEPTION Today, we're going BACK to where this all began, and checking in with the best running back in America laying the WOOD on special teams: Whoaaaaaaaaaa Nellie! Lordy. What a hit. That probably gets you ejected in the NFL nowadays. But not in high school football, baby! It's the Wild Wild West down there, which is why it's the best. LOOK at that block! That would make Troy Polamalu wince. Just a punishing hit from a punishing running back. And for those concerned that the senior Tennessee commit was expending too much energy on special teams to be an effective running back ... rest easy tonight. He absolutely manhandled the poor fellas over at Ensworth last night to the tune of 139 yards and two scores. Not bad!

The shooting took place at a Greek Orthodox church in Karak, about 55 miles south of the capital, Amman. Jordanian Health Minister Ibrahim al-Budour said Saturday that one critically injured patient remained hospitalized at Prince Ali Military Hospital in unstable condition. Government spokesperson Mohammad Momani said Saturday that the attackers subscribed to "extremist takfiri ideology," which brands people who reject a strict interpretation of Islam as apostates or nonbelievers. Terrorist groups such as ISIS have invoked takfiri beliefs to justify killing Muslims, Christians and Jews. BISHOP ROBERT BARRON: THE WAR ON CHRISTIANS IS REAL AND THE WORLD CAN NO LONGER STAY SILENT Karak is home to a sizable Christian minority, and Momani sought to emphasize that Christians are "part of Jordan's national fabric." It remains unclear whether the gunmen were affiliated with any terror group, and Jordanian authorities have not announced any arrests in connection with the attack. Footage shown on Jordanian state television showed two gunmen armed with what appeared to be pistols approaching the church and opening fire, The Associated Press reported. A third man carrying what appeared to be a semiautomatic rifle joined them moments later, before all three rushed toward the church. TWO SUSPECTED GUNMEN DEAD, TWO IDF SOLDIERS KILLED IN WEST BANK SHOOTING Photos and videos from witnesses show broken glass and pools of blood inside the church. After the location was secured by police, two bodies covered with blankets were seen outside the church. Dorgham Halasa told the AP that intense gunfire erupted in the church some 15 minutes after the funeral service began. People began running, he said. Halasa said he didn't see the gunmen, but said others he spoke with reported seeing at least four of them. Jordanian authorities had not confirmed the number of attackers as of Saturday. On Friday, King Abdullah II said Jordan will "confront the terrorist act that targeted Karak with the harshest penalties." "Whoever imagines that the bullets of treachery can divide the ranks of Jordanians will fail in his endeavor before our steadfastness and unity," he added.

They were peaceful. They simply wore shirts that recognized biological reality, but that led to pro-trans Thorns fans striking them with a flag pole, verbally assaulting them, and security physically restraining and throwing some of them out of the game. It was an awful night for those who claim to be "tolerant" and "accepting," so when the team posted about appreciating their fans, "save women's sports" supporters let them have it. After the game, the Thorns social team posted this: "the 𝒂𝒃𝒔𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒆 best fans in all the land 🫶   thank you for the best atmosphere, support and energy tonight and all season long! we couldn’t do it without you!" MOM AND DAUGHTER TOLD TO COVER UP XX-XY T-SHIRTS, SAY THEY WERE THREATENED WITH EJECTION AT FEVER-DREAM GAME There's a social media term called, "ratioed", which means a social media post receives significantly more replies than likes. That's exactly what happened here. Columnist Dustin Grage said, "Your fans are violent and you cheered them on." Journalist Andy Ngo said, "You allowed thugs to assault women and then had your security force the victims out." X user Charlotte Welcker said, "Your fans assaulted a woman and then your security threw her out. DISGUSTING." SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM SUPPORTERS OPEN UP ON ENCOUNTER WITH SECURITY, PRO-TRANS FANS IN LATEST WNBA CULTURE CLASH Another user stated, "Unless you wear an athletic shirt with the wrong brand, in which case you'll be ejected from the game in a hurry." One user highlighted one of the worst incidents of the night saying, "show the part where a male fan shoved a 57 year old lesbian down two rows of seats. disgusting fans." WNBA FANS RECALL EJECTION THREAT OVER XX-XY ATHLETICS SHIRT AT FEVER-DREAM GAME: 'I WAS FLABBERGASTED' Reporter, commentator, and "Save Women's Sports" activist, Brandi Kruse, who was physically restrained by security and eventually, picked up and thrown out of the stadium, shared details about what happened to her friend. "Julie, a 57-year-old lesbian, was shoved down by a male @ThornsFC fan and tumbled over two rows of chairs. All for wearing an @xx_xyathletics shirt. He later apologized and said he didn’t know why he did it, he was just following the crowd. She has filed a police report," she reported on X with an accompanying video.

The actions of their fans, especially their supporter group, was disgusting. If this incident proved anything in my mind, it's that the NWSL is more radical and intolerant than the WNBA.

Underdog is offering new users the promo code FOXNEWS so they can play $10 and earn $50 in bonuses.  This is arguably the best matchup of the night. Even a few weeks ago, we knew it would be one of the most important games on the schedule. However, with Texas coming off back-to-back losses, this game is absolutely crucial for the Longhorns. Here is a breakdown of the offensive statistics and national rankings for Ole Miss and Texas: Odds are subject to change Houston and Utah probably don’t have the same national recognition or attention as the first game does, but that doesn’t mean we should avoid it. Houston is ranked 14th in the nation, and Utah is ranked 10th. Another loss may knock Houston out of playoff contention, but a win could bolster their resume significantly.  Here is the breakdown of the offensive and defensive statistics and national rankings for Houston and Utah: Odds are subject to change Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adccf1911846704b3a7e68e BetMGM Bonus Code FOXNEWS: $1500 First Bet Cover for Texas-Ole Miss, Utah-Houston, Any Week 8 Game te 2026-10-24T15:30:33.273Z BetMGM Bonus Code FOXNEWS: $1500 First Bet Cover for Texas-Ole Miss, Utah-Houston, Any Week 8 Game Week 8 brings us even closer to the College Football Playoffs, and each week puts another piece of the puzzle together.

Utah vs. Houston is the last game of the night and one of the best on the schedule. The game of the evening is between Ole Miss and Texas, important for both teams if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive. A different game is drawing attention, though. LSU takes on Auburn in the early slate of games, and it is worth paying attention to it.  LSU comes into the game ranked 18th in the nation. In their first season under Lane Kiffin, the team is 5-2 for the year with a 2-2 SEC record. We all know about the biggest loss on the schedule — that was to Ole Miss. However, a couple of weeks ago, they also lost on the road to Kentucky in overtime. Last week, they beat Mississippi State 31-0, essentially ending the Bulldogs’ playoff hopes.  Auburn is 4-2 for the season, and they are just 2-2 in SEC play. Their two losses this year were to Florida and Tennessee. Florida looked like one of the best teams in the country at the time, and Tennessee is one of the ranked teams currently. Both teams were relatively close, but the most impressive work from the Tigers came last week as they went on the road and beat Georgia 27-24.  Will LSU find a way to win this one, or can Auburn continue to fight with the big dogs in the SEC?

Bet365 is offering new users $200 in bonus bets when you wager $10 on any of the games from today’s slate.  This week we see some important matchups on the schedule for many teams. Last week we saw most of the top teams taking on one of their toughest opponents of the season. This week has a lot fewer big games on the schedule, but any week can be a tough week for teams. The NIL era seems to have brought schools closer together in terms of talent than ever before. Texas A&M has had a decent season, but their hope is most likely to be a good bowl game. They come into the game with a 4-3 record. Their losses were to Kentucky, LSU and Missouri. None of the losses were particularly close, either. They don’t really have an overly impressive win on the schedule, but this would be a big victory for them. Alabama has lost two games in a row for the first time since 2007. The Crimson Tide are 5-2 for the season, dropping back-to-back games against Georgia and Tennessee. They lost by just three to Georgia and couldn’t get any offense going in the fourth quarter. In last week’s game, they lost by 16 on the road. Once again, the offense struggled, and they only scored 10 points.  The Crimson Tide cannot lose another game this season, or they are likely going to be out of the playoffs. This is a "get right" game for them, but Texas A&M is no slouch. Will we see another upset?

There are many great fights on the card tonight and even more sportsbooks that are looking to help you get involved in the action. UFC 333 is a great opportunity for new users to take advantage of plenty of offers from Fanatics, BetMGM, Bet365, and more!  Fanatics Sportsbook is offering new users a promo code of FOXNEWS350 to earn $350 in FanCash from a $20 wager.  The main event on the card tonight is between Alexander Volkanovski and Movsar Evloev, and according to the books, it is an even match. Volkanovski comes into this having won the past two matchups, both of them against Diego Lopes in five rounds. He is mainly a striker and will look to knock out Evloev. In the opposite corner of the ring, Evloev is a freestyle fighter, getting a bunch of different kicks and punches to give him the edge. He has never lost a match, with a 20-0-0 record. His most recent match was in March against Lerone Murphy.  BetMGM is offering new users a chance to earn $1,500 in bonuses if their first wager loses when using promo code FOXNEWS.  The undercard tonight features a nice Bantamweight battle between Petr Yan and Merab Dvalishvili. Yan enters the match with a 20-5-0 record, including wins in his past four matchups. His last fight was against Dvalishvili, and he won via unanimous decision. Dvalishvili has gone 21-5-0 in his career. His most recent loss was the fight against Yan, but with 10 months to think about it and prepare, perhaps he can find a way to reclaim the title. Both fighters are primarily strikers, and the last fight went the distance.  Bet365 is offering new users $200 in bonuses when you place a wager on UFC 333. While it may not be a title matchup, the Flyweight bout on tonight’s card could be a very good one between two younger fighters. Lone’er Kavanagh comes into the match with a 10-2-0 record, but he has lost two of his past three fights. One loss was by submission; the other was by TKO. Facing him is Ramazan Temirov, a striker with a bit of a height disadvantage in this one. He is 20-3-0 in his career and won his past five matches, most of them by KO or TKO. This fight is between two evenly matched guys and could be one of the best of the night.  Underdog is offering new users the promo code FOXNEWS so they can play $10 and earn $50 in bonuses. We have a Russian standoff for the Heavyweight battle. It is not a title bout, but it should be a good one between Alexander Volkov and Rizvan Kuniev. Volkov is mostly a striker who owns a 40-11-0 record for his career, with most of his wins coming via TKO. He has won his past two fights via decision. Kuniev is giving up about three inches of height in this battle. He has a 14-3-1 record, and half of his wins have come via knockout. His past two matches have been wins by TKO and decision. This could be a great battle between two Russian fighters looking to knock each other out.

While the  production team is seeking private collections statewide, its announcement does not confirm a Maricopa filming stop. Maricopa has appeared on the show before when they visited Raceway Bar & Grill, which opened back in 2008. Associate Producer Amanda Jane Stern said the team wants interesting people with distinctive collections and extraordinary stories. The series follows antique hunters searching for rare objects, forgotten relics and pieces of American history to purchase. The show’s wish list includes vintage toys, motorcycles, old advertising signs, gas station memorabilia and early furniture from private collections. Producers also welcome folk art, military items, jukeboxes and unusual collections. Items from stores, flea markets, malls, museums, auction businesses or anything open to the public will not be considered. Interested residents should email americanpickers@cineflix.com or call 646-493-2184. Submissions should include the collector’s full name, city, state, phone number and the collection’s location. Include a description, photographs and the stories behind the items. More information is available through the American Pickers Facebook page.

New users can wager $20 on today’s NCAAF slate and earn $350 in FanCash.  There are only two games between ranked opponents this week. Last week, it seemed like every game was between top-25 teams. This week we have Ole Miss and Texas taking each other on, with one team needing the win significantly more than the other.  Ole Miss comes into the game ranked 7th in the nation with a 5-1 record and a 3-1 mark in SEC play. Their lone loss was to the Florida Gators, and they beat Missouri last week. If the Rebels lose this game, they’d likely drop in the rankings but remain in playoff contention. Texas, on the other hand, would drop out of contention altogether if they lose the game. They wouldn’t even be a ranked team any longer. It would be the second straight year that Texas has had a disaster of a season. They have to win every game if they want to have a chance at the playoffs.  Odds are subject to change The other matchup between ranked teams is between Houston and Utah. This is a Big 12 battle that features two of the best teams in the nation. A win will position either of these teams with a great shot at getting into the College Football Playoffs. Houston is 6-1 for the season and 14th in the nation. Their lone loss this year was against Texas Tech, and the Cougars lost that game by just two points. Since that loss, the team has won four straight games. Now they have to go on the road and find a path to victory. Utah is 6-0 for the season and currently ranked 10th. They haven’t had a ton of tough competition so far this season, so it is possible this will be the first test for them. Last week was their first close game, a road game against a bad Colorado team. They won, but it was a close battle, 27-24.  Odds are subject to change Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adcccab11846704b3a7e51c They Were Accused of Illegal Fishing.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Wednesday that New World screwworm was found in an elk on a game ranch in Pecos County. A hunter reported the animal after killing it. The USDA and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) are conducting additional wildlife surveillance, while the Texas Animal Health Commission plans to modify an existing infested zone. AMERICA'S BEEF SUPPLY SHRINKS AS CATTLE FARMER WARNS 'THE NUMBERS ARE JUST NOT HERE ANYMORE' "Hunters and others who spend time outdoors near infested areas are often among the first people to encounter affected wildlife, making their observations especially valuable to surveillance and response efforts," the USDA said in a statement. "As hunting seasons continue across Texas and other states, hunters are encouraged to stay alert for signs of NWS when observing, harvesting, or processing wildlife," it continued. PRICE OF ONE GRILLING STAPLE REMAINS AT RECORD HIGH AS BEEF LOVERS ADAPT It urged hunters to be on the lookout for visible maggots in wounds or body openings, open or enlarging wounds, foul-smelling injuries, and animals that appear weak or distressed, and to report anything suspicious promptly. Infection signs around the nose, mouth, ears, eyes or genital areas also warrant attention, the agency added. The TPWD urged hunters to inspect harvested animals before field dressing or moving them, and to also look out for irritated or depressed behavior, loss of appetite, head shaking, a smell of decaying flesh or unusual isolation in animals. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE NEWS New World screwworm was eliminated from the U.S. decades ago, but the parasite has been moving north through Central America and Mexico, Fox News Digital previously reported. Last year, the U.S. halted livestock imports from Mexico to keep it out. The pause lasted more than a year, straining cattle supply and contributing to record-high beef prices. Reopening began in stages in August. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ In June, officials confirmed the parasite in a Texas calf. They later found it in other animals, including a horse and a dog. The Texas elk was the first confirmed U.S. wildlife case in the current outbreak. "The partnership between TPWD biologists and local hunters and landowners expedited the identification and confirmation of this new detection," Texas wildlife division director Alan Cain said in a statement. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER New Mexico authorities also reported screwworm in a beef cow this week and established an infested zone around the animal. Animals within that zone must be inspected and, if necessary, treated before being moved. The parasite is a threat to animal health and meat production, but the USDA says it does not affect food safety, according to reports. In a June statement, the National Cattlemen's Beef Association also said it was working with its state partners to combat screwworm, and praised federal eradication efforts including expanded fly surveillance, cattle treatments and sterile-fly releases. Fox News Digital has reached out to the group for an update. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adcca5311846704b3a7e47c Obama prepares to rally with Michigan Dem who once delivered scathing verdict on his presidency te 2026-10-24T15:10:11.199Z Obama prepares to rally with Michigan Dem who once delivered scathing verdict on his presidency Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is set to rally with former President Barack Obama on Saturday as Republicans raise questions about his support among Black voters, a crucial Democratic constituency in the battleground state. Obama formally endorsed the Michigan Democrat earlier this month, filming a campaign ad that ran on Oct. 12 imploring his supporters "to support Abdul El-Sayed for the United States Senate." His upcoming rally with El-Sayed has become a major political event as the progressive Senate candidate continues his effort to build bridges with the Democratic Party’s establishment. Obama's support has also renewed scrutiny of El-Sayed's past criticism of the former president, including a sharply worded 2012 essay accusing him of failing to deliver on the promises of his presidency. Conservatives have suggested that the El-Sayed campaign is leaning on Obama to build support among the African American community, whose turnout could be decisive on Election Day. ROGERS ARGUES EL-SAYED IS VULNERABLE WITH 2 TRADITIONALLY DEMOCRATIC BLOCS AS OBAMA HEADS TO MICHIGAN Claims that El-Sayed is only receiving lukewarm support from the Black community began during his primary race against Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens. El-Sayed performed strongly among Arab American voters during the Democratic primary, but he narrowly defeated Stevens after polls showed her attracting stronger support among Black Democratic voters. El-Sayed's uneven support among key Democratic constituencies has raised questions about his ability to unite the party's coalition heading into November. Black voters are crucial to the Democratic coalition in Michigan. Low turnout or defections to the GOP in Michigan among African Americans could seriously endanger the Democratic Party’s path to control of the Senate. OBAMA'S STAR POWER GETS A REALITY CHECK FROM BLACK VOTERS IN CRUCIAL SENATE RACE: 'IT'S A TURNOFF' A poll conducted by Fox News Digital in late September found that just 77% of Black voters were supportive of El-Sayed, a figure well below where Democrats typically perform with the demographic. It is unclear what impact, if any, Obama wading into Michigan’s Senate election will have. Fox News Digital spoke with more than a dozen Black voters in Detroit about Obama's endorsement, finding mixed reactions that included skepticism among undecided voters and enthusiasm from others who already planned to support El-Sayed. While the undecided voters largely agreed that Obama was still a leader within the Democratic Party, they generally did not put much weight on the former president’s endorsement of El-Sayed. "Honestly, it's a turn-off just because I've seen too many candidates use him just to manipulate the Democratic vote," Mercedes, one undecided Black voter, told Fox News Digital about Obama's endorsement. MICHIGAN SENATE CANDIDATE ABDUL EL-SAYED SAYS LEADERS MUST ADDRESS ‘UNPAID DEBTS’ TO BLACK COMMUNITIES "What he's been able to do is from an image standpoint, as far as ‘hope,’ he drove the point there," another undecided African American voter told Fox News Digital. "But as far as really giving back to the community, minority owned businesses, and everyone across the board, I don't really think he really got there for me … he really hasn't swayed me one way or another." Rita, an undecided Black voter who said she had recently been homeless, said that Obama’s endorsement would not move the needle for her as she prefers to do her own research on candidates. Juanita, another Black voter who wasn’t sure how she would vote in November, told Fox News Digital that, "I don't want to be pushed to vote for him because somebody else is backing him." Even some African Americans who voted early for El-Sayed said Obama’s backing didn’t mean much of anything to them. SOCIALIST POLITICIANS ARE 'MORE RACIST THAN THE KKK,' SAYS BLACK DEM OFFICIAL URGING VOTERS TO DITCH EL-SAYED "I think that a lot of people put more stock into who the person is than what he does … his yay or nay doesn't sway me either way," one such voter told Fox News Digital. Undecided voters, however, had mixed feelings about El-Sayed’s changing position on Obama. "Yeah, I don't understand how you can endorse somebody that was kind of the opposition when you were in office," Juanita told Fox News Digital. "I mean, that doesn't make sense." "I think I see it as a flip flop, but I also see it as an opportunity to pretty much highlight those things and how he's actually changed and why their objectives may align now," another voter said. "You know, people's objectives change, their perspectives change." ‘DESTROYING THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE’: EL-SAYED’S POLITICAL ORBIT COMPLICATES EFFORT TO MODERATE HIS IMAGE Others, however, pointed out that pivots like El-Sayed’s are nothing new in politics, pointing to the fact that Vice President JD Vance was once a staunch critic of President Donald Trump. The controversy surrounding El-Sayed’s purported flip-flop on Obama can be traced back to a 2012 Huffington Post essay where he accused Obama of failing to live up to the progressive rhetoric he campaigned on. "I realize that I have little hope because there has been less change," El-Sayed wrote. "But I have to say now what I’ve been holding in throughout his campaign and what I think all of us have to admit: Obama was not the right choice — he just wasn’t the wrong one." He went on to criticize the then-president for perpetuating war, violating civil liberties and carrying out more deportations than any previous president. The Michigan Democrat has since walked back some of those criticisms, noting that it is possible to disagree with someone while still admiring them and praising how Obama operated under the circumstances he inherited. DEM INSURGENT TURNS ON THE CHARM WITH PARTY ESTABLISHMENT AS SCHUMER LEAVES BITTER FEUD HANGING Some, however, don’t buy that explanation. Conservative commentator Jason Rantz said on a CNN panel that El-Sayed was setting aside his criticisms of Obama because he was in a desperate electoral position and needed to "try to bring in black voters." Others, however, don’t think El-Sayed has a problem with Black voters at all. Kandia Milton, a government affairs professional with deep ties to Detroit's African American community, told Fox News Digital that conservative claims that El-Sayed lacks appeal to Black voters are misguided. "The great thing about Abdul is that he's not new to Detroiters. … And so Detroiters, once they understand his background, understand what he stands for and all the things that he's done in the past, you see greater enthusiasm for his campaign and his candidacy for Senate," he said. "He has been very active in getting out into the community. In fact, tomorrow we have a public meeting with Abdul at our church. Where he will be speaking to the community around, you know, the issues that he stands on and stands firm on." El-Sayed’s rally with Obama is slated to begin at 5:00 p.m. and will feature Democratic gubernatorial nominee Jocelyn Benson and other Michigan Democrats. Attendees will be encouraged to cast early ballots in support of the Democratic ticket. The El-Sayed campaign and representatives for the former president did not respond to requests for comment when reached by Fox News Digital on Wednesday.

Simon Sinek, author, inspirational speaker and founder of The Optimism Company in New York, shared his breakdown of core compatibilities for successful couples. Sinek, who has built a following of millions with content about leadership and interpersonal communication, said he developed his "3+1" formula after years of considering what makes partnerships work. 5 MARRIAGE MISTAKES COUPLES MAKE WITHOUT REALIZING IT — AND HOW TO AVOID THEM The formula centers on the following three core factors that can ebb and flow over the course of a partnership. He also added a fourth bonus factor: circumstances. Being intellectually compatible with your partner is essential, Sinek told Fox News Digital. "You get along, you enjoy going out with them," he said. "It doesn't mean you're as smart as each other; it means you have something to talk about when you go out together." COMMON MARRIAGE HABIT COULD QUIETLY KILL YOUR SEX LIFE, EXPERT WARNS Emotional compatibility means being vulnerable and emotionally available to each other, while creative and sexual compatibility reflects enjoying intimacy with a partner. Sinek said he groups sexual attraction and creativity together, as they use the "same part of the brain" that is imaginative. "When people can bring imagination to their sex lives, that is creativity," he said. "You hear it in couples who have been together for 10, 15, 20 years – they talk about how things get stale, get boring. That's creativity." A good relationship can blossom with one-and-a-half or two of these factors, according to Sinek, but a great relationship includes all three. NEARLY 1 IN 3 MARRIED AMERICANS AREN'T HAVING SEX — EXPERT REVEALS HOW TO BRING BACK THE SPARK "They're not all on high at the same time, so they sort of need each other to get through the relationship," he said. The bonus factor – circumstances – is controlled by external forces and can tip the scales of a successful relationship, Sinek added. "Sometimes, we meet somebody who fits all three, but they live on the other side of the world, and we can't move our lives and they can't move theirs," he said. "Or maybe they're already in a relationship and you shrug your shoulders and say, 'Bad timing.'" "Sometimes we get infatuated because we find one or two of those things, but for it to really last, I’ve learned it takes all three, plus the circumstances." Sinek warned that having one or two of these factors so highly developed, especially early in a relationship, can create the misleading impression that "this is my person." "One of the biggest things I’ve learned about relationships is the danger of infatuation," Sinek said, noting that early attraction can be driven by dopamine rather than love at first sight. He said people can fall for "the fantasy that the person represents" and think, "I’ve been looking for someone like you for my whole life," despite knowing someone for only a few hours. After the initial infatuation fades, it may become more clear whether a person is a good long-term match, according to Sinek. He suggested that a lack of intense infatuation at the beginning could sometimes be a positive sign. "You hear about people who knew each other for 10 years because they worked together," he said. "And then they finally realize that they're in love with each other. There was no infatuation. There was no spike." CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER Sinek encourages people to give potential partners who meet many of the desired criteria a chance, even if there isn't an immediate spark. "I know I've made this mistake a million times," he said. "I met great people, but there was no infatuation, so I was like, ‘nope, not for me.’ Or I was seduced by the infatuation." For committed or long-term couples who seem to have the core factors out of balance, Sinek urges them to pay closer attention to habits that may be pulling them away from the relationship. "You see people who go out for dinner on a regular basis, and they are either on their phones the whole time, or they're looking in other directions," he said. CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES "Maybe somebody needs to put in an effort to say, ‘Let's put our phones away. Let's trade phones when we go out so we don't even have the temptation,’" Sinek suggested. The expert reiterated that for those who want a lasting relationship — in a fast-paced dating climate that’s more sexually driven and tied to instant gratification — all three parts of the formula must develop. "Even the sexual connection sometimes doesn’t happen at the beginning, and that also can come later," he said. Emotional connection can change the dynamic between partners, Sinek added. He cautioned against placing too much importance on one or two factors simply because they are especially strong or appear early. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ Sinek continued, "It’s recognizing that when they start to wax and wane, all three of them are going to matter and they’re going to show up naturally at some point, so it's more of an awareness rather than trying to force it."

The pop star, known for the '80s hit "Tell It to My Heart," has been keeping busy gearing up for her first Las Vegas residency at Harrah's Las Vegas. The Grammy-nominated artist, who announced in 2022 that she'd privately battled stage 2 colon cancer, said she's been given the all-clear and is ready to party with her fans. TAYLOR DAYNE RECALLS FINDING FAME WITH ‘80S HIT ‘TELL IT TO MY HEART’: ‘I WAS PRAYING TO GET SIGNED' "I've been cancer-free for four years now," she told Fox News Digital with a smile. "I've been on the path of being very ardent about taking care of my health and being on top of my colonoscopies. There are no guarantees in life, but especially as women, we need to advocate for our health and be on top of our checkups." "I was already on top of my colonoscopies when I was told I had a lot of polyps," the singer said. "It was through a routine checkup that they found a very aggressive polyp. This is how quickly these things can escalate and really take a turn. But my mindset was, 'What do I do right now?' I was very much in action mode." Dayne, who didn't experience any symptoms before her diagnosis, stressed that routine screenings are essential. "I was 50 years old, and they said, 'Now's the time to go in for this,'" Dayne, 64, said. "It's not like that anymore, because of our food, our diets, what we're exposed to daily. You really have to think about your timeline earlier than we've ever done. And we have such high-paced lifestyles. Most people are busy working, busy being parents, busy just being out there juggling. We can't put our health on the sidelines." The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends that adults at average risk begin colorectal cancer screening at age 45, down from the previous recommendation of 50. People at increased risk, including some with a family history of colorectal cancer, may need to begin screening earlier. "I thought it was a male-dominated disease, like prostate cancer," she said. "I was like, 'Colon?' It wasn't really resonating with me, and it certainly wasn't resonating with anyone in my family. I learned from my experience, be your own warrior, be your champion. And that's what I did. It started with me asking, 'Why do I keep developing polyps?' You have to be your own champion, your own voice in getting the information you need, the plan you need." Dayne said her experience also taught her the importance of speaking up early. She noted that advocating for oneself can be harder when seriously ill. GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE "When you're that ill, there's very little that the person can do," she explained. "Your advocate is usually your partner, your spouse, your best friend. But oftentimes, it's just yourself. It made me realize a lot of things. And I'm so grateful, ever grateful. For me, it turned on a lightbulb, a desire to live, a desire to really push through things. And it's brought a lot of love to my heart because I've met so many people I otherwise wouldn't have met because we have so much in common now. Survivors." Dayne's renewed focus on her health is also tied to her desire to be present for her children. "Your kids don't think of you as having a career," she said. "They don't think about your fame, your awards, the guest house. All they want is for their needs to be met. You're just mom to them. I became a very different touring artist then. And touring was the largest component of my career. But I was a single parent. I raised them. I was then the mother bird who needed to always come back to her nest." Dayne follows a no-nonsense health regimen that helps her look and feel her best as she prepares for her Las Vegas residency. "I'm very religious with my morning ritual, whatever my morning looks like, because my morning could be one o'clock in the afternoon, and it could be five in the morning," she said. "I do my peptides. I do my collagen. I do my bone broth. I do copper for my skin. I want to be optimal. That takes stretching, Pilates, yoga, daily exercise. You have to take care of yourself spiritually, emotionally, mentally." "It's a real juggle," Dayne continued. "But the first moment you have in the morning, the first two minutes you have, should be centering yourself. And then I do my tinctures. I also like to have a big ol' smoothie. I usually have just liquids in the morning. I also love soursop, especially when I travel. I have to have a healthy lifestyle to meet the demands of what it takes to be physically on stage every night." LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS Long before her health battle, Dayne experienced another life-changing moment — realizing just how quickly "Tell It to My Heart" had made her a star. "I was in Munich preparing to make an appearance and I said, 'What are all these people doing outside? Why is their hair crimped? Why do they have red lips? Oh my God, they look like me,'" Dayne recalled. "It's not overnight stardom because I spent 15, 16, 17 in every club conceivable in New York in the '80s," she said. "But when you have a single like that, the next thing you know, you're on 'Top of the Pops.' I just knew my life would never be the same. I had no idea people would love my music so much, that they would want to look like me. Here we are, 39 years later." "I never said, 'This is going to last forever,'" she said, reflecting on her fame. "How could you ever know? It was a moment. I was young, I was 22, 23. You just want to catch the wind." Nearly four decades into her career, Dayne sees her upcoming Las Vegas residency as a victory lap.

Nearly five years after the sudden death of her husband, Bob Saget, Rizzo is approaching relationships differently. The 47-year-old told Fox News Digital that she and her boyfriend, Breckin Meyer, have never had a fight in more than three years together — an outlook shaped by the sudden loss of her husband. Rizzo hosts the podcast "Comfort Food with Kelly Rizzo," on which she sits down with celebrity guests and friends to discuss grief, coping and family. SANDRA BULLOCK SAYS BRYAN RANDALL WAS ILL FOR 'HALF OF OUR RELATIONSHIP' AS SHE OPENS UP ABOUT HIS DEATH "It's been over three years, and I don't want to jinx it, but we have never had a fight," Rizzo told Fox News Digital. "We've never been in a fight. And I think, at least from my end, it's because I don't ever want to have a day where we're fighting and, God forbid, something happens, or where we're fighting, and he feels upset or sad because I never want to hurt his feelings." "I just don't do a lot of the things that maybe I would have done in the past or if I was a little bit more immature," she said. "That's really what this dating journey has taught me about myself." Rizzo met Saget on social media in 2015, and they married three years later. On Jan. 9, 2022, the "Full House" star died at age 65 from accidental head trauma. Rizzo later found love again with Meyer, an actor. The couple made their public debut at Steven Tyler's annual Grammy Awards viewing party in February 2024, according to People magazine. WATCH: KELLY RIZZO SHARES HOW BOB SAGET'S DEATH CHANGED HER DATING LIFE "I've learned that it's so important to appreciate every single minute that you have with somebody because you don't know how much time you're going to get with them," Rizzo said. "You don't know how much time you're here on this Earth. So I'm so much better today at not sweating the small stuff." "I don't pick little fights," she continued. "You know, let's test him to see how much he loves me. I just don't do any of that anymore. I think a level of maturity also comes with my age and just having been in relationships in the past. But because I lost Bob so suddenly and so quickly, I know what a gift every single day is." Rizzo said she learned the importance of expressing love from Saget during their marriage. "He always said, 'I love you. Tell everyone you love them,'" Rizzo said. "He was hugging people constantly. He was telling people ‘I love you.’ He never left a conversation without saying 'I love you' or leaving anything on the table. Everyone knew how he felt about them after every conversation or after every visit. And that was such a big lesson he taught people, even to this day. Even after almost five years." Rizzo said opening her heart to someone new brought feelings of guilt, which she discussed on her podcast. "I was always so concerned, like, 'If people know that I love Breckin now, are they going to think I love Bob less?'" she said. "What I've learned is that it's just absolutely not true. ... You can have 100% of love for the person you lost and still have 100% of your love for the person in your life now. And having the new person does not take away the love from the person before, from the person who passed away, because they can live together and coexist so beautifully and so simultaneously." GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE "My love for Bob today, it's a little different than it was when he was here, but it's not any less," Rizzo said. "So, I think that's a big misconception. People are worried that if they move forward, it means that either they're going to somehow forget the person who passed away, or that people will think that they love the person less." Rizzo previously said she sought the blessing of Saget's daughters, with whom she remains close. Saget had three daughters — Aubrey, 39, Lara, 37, and Jennifer, 33 — with his former wife, Sherri Kramer. "It's truly the biggest gift I could ever have dreamed of, because they're such angels," she said of her relationship with her stepdaughters. "We've just still been a family. I talked to Aubrey today for an hour and every conversation ends with 'I love you.' I'm going to see her tomorrow with my new step-granddaughter. It's just the biggest gift. I can't imagine doing this without them. And I don't want to put words in their mouth, but they've said the same." "It makes me appreciate it so much more, because I see there are so many families, especially stepfamilies, similar to mine," Rizzo said. "They do not have this beautiful of a situation after someone's passing. So we know every day how unbelievably blessed we are that we have this relationship." While Rizzo is moving forward, her love for Saget remains constant. When asked about her favorite memory of him, she recalled their last Christmas together in her hometown of Chicago. "I remember he got to spend time with my nieces, one who was just born two weeks before," Rizzo said. "I remember he took this photo with my niece, Alexandra, at the dinner table. The last text that Bob ever sent me right before he passed away ... we were saying our goodnights, but when I woke up in the morning, I had a text from him that was that picture of him hugging my niece on Christmas."

It's not necessarily a text that I would've expected to get from him, this mushy picture. But I look at that as so significant because he and my niece had a special connection. And the fact that that was the last text he ever sent me was really special." Rizzo said Meyer has also embraced Saget's memory, something she appreciates as their relationship continues. "[I remember] my episode with Breckin, where Breckin is talking about how much he loved Bob and how much he respected him," she said. "I always joke that Breckin's the only person on Earth who Bob wouldn't be that mad about. He wouldn't love it, but he'd like him more than any other option."

Officials are reminding tourists that paying for street performances or character photos is never required, as FOX5 Las Vegas reported. Digital messages began appearing on billboards along the Strip on Friday, Oct. 16, with a direct warning to tourists. LAS VEGAS PRICES SQUEEZE EVERYDAY TRAVELERS AS POPULAR CITY EMBRACES EXPENSIVE MAKEOVER "When watching performances or taking a photo, tipping is NOT required," the signs read, according to reports. Clark County officials said the campaign is not intended to discourage voluntary tips, however. The initiative specifically targets performers who coerce visitors for cash or falsely imply that tipping is mandatory, FOX5 said.  "It negatively impacts the economic lifeblood of not just Clark County — but the entire state tax base is dependent on the Las Vegas Strip," Clark County Commissioner Michael Naft told FOX5. Fox News Digital reached out to Clark County for further comment. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER The new warnings arrived after a tipping dispute involving costumed showgirls on the Strip allegedly turned violent. Two visitors from North Carolina stopped for photos with three women dressed as showgirls outside Planet Hollywood on Sept. 30 and paid a $20 tip, Fox News Digital previously reported. After the tourists began walking away, performer Jennifer Ortiz allegedly followed them and demanded between $60 and $180 for the photos, according to an arrest report. The confrontation escalated into a fight that left both tourists injured.  TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ Police said one visitor was struck more than 22 times and suffered a nearly 2-inch cut to the forehead after Ortiz allegedly hit the person with a high-heeled boot. Ortiz and another performer, Magdellena Romero, were arrested.  CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE STORIES Ortiz was charged with battery and obtaining money under false pretenses involving less than $1,200, while Romero was charged with battery. The push to address tipping pressure has since drawn reactions from both travelers and Las Vegas residents online. "Good, it is getting a little crazy," one Reddit user wrote. "I am glad they are clamping down after that brawl a couple of weeks ago." Another commenter claimed aggressive tipping demands have been an issue for years, recalling seeing costumed performers pressure tourists for money. Some users also offered their own thoughts for avoiding uncomfortable encounters with performers. "Best advice is not to engage them," one commenter advised.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adcbe9911846704b3a7e265 'SNL' Weekend Update anchor calls Republicans slurs, mocks Charlie Kirk in stand-up special te 2026-10-24T14:20:09.315Z 'SNL' Weekend Update anchor calls Republicans slurs, mocks Charlie Kirk in stand-up special "Saturday Night Live" Weekend Update co-anchor Michael Che joked about Charlie Kirk's killing and repeatedly used the R-word while mocking President Donald Trump and his supporters in his new Netflix special, "Michael Che: Shot in Minnesota." The new stand-up special was taped at the First Avenue music venue in Minneapolis. Che opened the show by saying he felt so good that he might get emotional. "I feel like Erika Kirk on this stage. That’s no disrespect to the Kirks, by the way." Che said he didn't know who Charlie Kirk was before the activist was killed, joking that he initially thought people were talking about "the dude from Star Trek." A YEAR AFTER CHARLIE KIRK'S MURDER, SOME COMICS ARE CALLING OUT JOKES ABOUT HIS DEATH "I was like, 'What? They shot Captain Kirk?'" Che said he then watched the graphic video of Charlie Kirk's assassination to better understand what happened, saying, "I wish I did not see that s---." "I don’t know if you saw," he told his audience, "but it’s f---ed up." Che said the best explanation he had heard for why Kirk was killed was that "in this country, straight White Christian conservative men are being silenced." He recalled having a debate about the issue "with this r-----ed guy." "I know you shouldn’t use that word, but, I do ... It’s because I still see them. I’ll stop saying it when I stop seeing it," he said. He further defended his use of the slur, saying, "Ever since we stopped using the word 'r-----ed,' r-----ed people have taken over the world. I don’t think that s--- is a coincidence." HASAN PIKER DEFENDS USING INCENDIARY TERMS LIKE 'INBRED' OR 'ZIONIST PIG' AGAINST OPPONENTS Che said that if people still used the R-word, Trump never could have become president. "He just kept getting stronger and stronger. Now, we can’t stop him ... I watched those debates. They never know what the f--- to say to that guy. They don’t got the language ... 'He’s unpresidential.' It’s like, 'No, he’s a r-----ed guy.'" Che said the Minneapolis audience would know exactly what he was talking about, because every time he turns on the news, "Minnesota is fighting some group of r-----s." "No, it’s important to say it. R-----ed meaning regressive. Bunch of motherf---ers trying to take all our rights away." Che also called Trump a "r----- whisperer." "That’s all politics is these days. Just r----- whispering." He mocked Trump’s ability to appeal to supporters through red MAGA hats and simple messaging, attributing the popularity of the recognizable caps to the fact that "r-----ed guys love hats." BROADCAST BIAS: FEMINIST FREAKOUT OVER SHANE GILLIS COMMENT IS THE REAL JOKE The 'SNL' co-anchor said the president would have made a great kindergarten teacher because he knows how to talk to people who "don’t like to think that much."  Che argued Americans do not take presidential politics seriously enough, suggesting that the country should have a list of potential candidates years in advance. "If it’s the most important job in the free world, we still don’t know? There’s no list?" he joked. "Right now, ESPN has a list of the top 500 high school quarterbacks in the country. But every four years, we end up in this f---ed up 'Would You Rather.' "One n----- is 80, the other n----- is 80-er." Che later shifted into personal material about aging, drinking, relationships, sex and fatherhood, closing by imagining God as an absent parent. "I think God loves us. I think he just had us at a very young age. He realized he had more living to do. 'I gotta get the f--- out of here. Here, take this book. I’ll be right back.' I ain’t seen him since." Fox News Digital reached out to Michael Che for comment but did not immediately receive a response. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adcbe9811846704b3a7e25c Omar’s deleted tweet could give clue on alleged brother marriage te 2026-10-24T14:20:08.422Z Omar’s deleted tweet could give clue on alleged brother marriage A deleted 2013 social media post in which Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., appeared to refer to her father by a different name has resurfaced as federal investigators examine questions surrounding her identity and immigration records. "Happy Father’s Day to my aabo Nur Said, I am forever grateful to Allah for giving me the best father …," Omar wrote in the June 2013 post, which was deleted in 2019. Several records, including a memorial post by the Congressional Black Caucus marking his death in 2020, refer to Omar’s father as "Nur Omar Mohamed." But the now-deleted X post has Omar calling him "Nur Said," a name that also appears similar to the name of her former husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. REP ILHAN OMAR'S IMMIGRATION HISTORY FACES NEW SCRUTINY AS FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS SUBPOENA RELATIVES The congresswoman deleted the social media post the morning of Sept. 19, 2019. An archived version of the post, first reported on by the Daily Caller in 2019, resurfaced after federal agents searched Omar’s Washington, D.C., residence on Oct. 12 as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into possible false statements on immigration and naturalization documents. Omar and her office have repeatedly denied allegations that her former husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, is her brother. She has also denied wrongdoing amid the federal probe, which she has called a political attack. Somali names generally consist of a person’s given name, their father’s given name and their paternal grandfather’s given name. The similarity between names alone does not establish a familial relationship. A statement allegedly attributed to Omar’s spokesperson and recirculated online said "Nur Said" was her father’s childhood nickname and that he maintained a public page using the name. The statement also said the tweet was deleted because Omar and her family had received threats. FEDERAL AGENTS SEIZE PHONE OF REP ILHAN OMAR IN RAID TIED TO IMMIGRATION FRAUD PROBE Omar’s office did not respond Friday to Fox News Digital’s request for comment on the now-deleted social media post. Omar’s father is referred to as "Nur Said" in some reports. For example, a New York Post story on his alleged military experience quoted Oxford University historian Mohamed Haji Ingiriis as calling Omar’s father "Nur Said." Fox News has not independently verified that Omar's father's name is Nur Said Elmi Mohamed, his alleged name, not Nur Omar Mohamed. In a statement to Fox News Digital on Thursday, a spokesperson for the congresswoman said Omar has "repeatedly and unequivocally denied" the "baseless, disgusting conspiracy theory" that she married her brother. The spokesperson pointed to Omar’s interview Wednesday on MS NOW, in which she was asked whether her one-time husband may have been a "distant relative." "Not to my knowledge," Omar replied. Recent court documents related to the search warrant for Omar’s Washington, D.C. residence, first obtained by Fox News Digital, connected to the federal investigation identify Omar as "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a.k.a. Ilhan Abdullahi Omar." The filing does not explain why the name appears in the document or establish that Omar used a false identity. ILHAN OMAR CALLS TRUMP ‘CREEP’ AS PRESIDENT REVIVES ‘FAKE NAME,’ MARRIAGE ALLEGATIONS Omar told Fox News Digital on Friday that her "real name" is "Ilhan Abdullahi Omar" and not "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi." "Ilhan Abdullahi Omar, you know it," Omar told Fox News Digital when asked about her name. "It’s Ilhan Abdullahi Omar." Omar’s marriage to Elmi ended in divorce in 2017. She later legally married Ahmed Hirsi in 2018. Two people familiar with the investigation told Fox News Digital that "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi" may be Omar’s legal name. Omar’s office has disputed that characterization. A former Minnesota federal immigration judge told Fox News Digital that if investigators prove Omar knowingly used a false name on federal forms, the conduct could be brought into question under the federal false-statements statute, 18 U.S.C. § 1001. Whether the statute applies would depend on the specific documents, the materiality of any alleged misstatement and the evidence of intent. The Justice Department did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. Hannah Brennan contributed to this report.

The confrontation occurred during the Thorns’ match against the North Carolina Courage at Providence Park in Portland, Oregon. The club’s schedule designated the match as its "Fan Appreciation" night. According to a preliminary account, the group entered with their XX-XY shirts covered and kept them concealed through the first half. At the start of the second half, they revealed the shirts and unfurled a large banner reading "Save Women’s Sports," but matters quickly escalated from that point on. FANS DISAGREE WITH PORTLAND THORNS OVER REASON FOR EJECTION IN XX-XY APPAREL DISPUTE: 'THEY ARE LYING' Other spectators, described in the account as supporters of transgender inclusion in women’s sports, allegedly responded with verbal abuse and physical aggression, including striking members of the group with flagpoles carrying trans flags. Security subsequently escorted the roughly 20 demonstrators out of the stadium. The organizers included women’s sports activist Amy Sousa and commentator Brandi Kruse, who previously helped organize rallies supporting WNBA player Sophie Cunningham. Sousa told OutKick that she and other XX-XY Athletics attendees filed police reports after being escorted out of the stadium. "We were attacked by fans. We were hit with flags. We had drinks and thrown at us," said Sousa, standing behind police outside the stadium because she did not feel safe. "Other people were forcibly pushed out the door. We had an ADA woman in a walker, she was forcibly pushed out the door. They let these people hit us with flags, another woman was punched in the face, all because we wanted to stand there in our shirts to protect girls sports." This wasn't the first time Sousa and XX-XY Athletics supporters had been ejected from a Thorns game at Providence Park. A smaller group was removed in early September, when Sousa said she was accused of being "transphobic" for her pro-women apparel. WNBA FANS RECALL EJECTION THREAT OVER XX-XY ATHLETICS SHIRT AT FEVER-DREAM GAME: 'I WAS FLABBERGASTED' The decision to unfurl the "Save Women's Sports" banner and reveal their shirts at the start of the second half Friday was strategic. Sousa hoped the group could avoid ejection because soccer has no official breaks in play. But members of the Rose City Riveters — the Thorns' emphatically pro-trans supporters group — appeared to have caught wind of their intentions. Just before the second half began, a number of fans were given transgender pride flags, apparently in an effort to obstruct other spectators' view of the banner and XX-XY supporters. One man sitting across the aisle from the group repeatedly shouted, "F--- you! F--- you, scum!" Chants of "Trans lives matter!" followed. OutKick reporter Matt Calkins, who was credentialed for the match, attempted to document the confrontation but was also subjected to verbal and physical aggression. He was flipped off, called a Nazi, had his phone knocked out of his hand and had beer poured on his neck. The interaction was captured by Calkins on video. XX-XY attendees weren't treated much better. Kruse had her right arm restrained behind her back by a security guard, who walked her up the stairs to the concourse and out of the stadium. This happened after she said she and others were hit multiple times with flags, with the assaulters repeatedly acting like it was an accident. Kruse added that another XX-XY attendee was pushed over her seat and "tumbled down." Aside from one man who poured beer on someone, Brandi said no other assaulters were removed. "I asked the security guard 'Why are we being asked to leave and they're not not being asked to leave?' If you want all of us to leave that's another thing, but just us? So I said 'I'm not leaving on my own accord'," Kruse said. "So two security guards grabbed me and took me out. I'm in shock over it." TRANS ACTIVISTS HARASS, HURL SLURS AT SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM SUPPORTERS BEFORE FEVER GAME IN MINNESOTA A separate security guard also yanked an Calkins' credential from around his neck as he interviewed Sousa. The guard returned it seconds later but declined to explain his actions when questioned. Director of security Jim McCausland was texted for comment, per OutKick's request, but said he did not have time to talk. OutKick also reached to the Thorns' communication director for comment — specifically as to why XX-XY attendees were escorted out but not their assaulters — but received no response. Roughly half a dozen XX-XY supporters left the stadium before the banner was even revealed, fearing for their safety after seeing spectators wearing "Protect Trans Kids" shirts featuring images of knives. But Ari Laureano, who has detransitioned, chose to stay. Laureano said just after he unbuttoned his coat to reveal his XX-XY shirt, he was smashed in the face by a flagpole. He added that assaulters used flags as a barricade to hide that they were striking the women he was with. Worth it to try and make a change? In Laureano's mind, yes. But he doesn't expect much sympathy from journalists. "I think the average person looks at this and doesn't understand what's going on, and the media goes and calls all these women horrible homophobic bigots," Laureano said. "But I'm here with them as a gay man who was harmed by being transitioned young, and I'm being beaten alongside of them. These are just normal impacted women who care about women's sports." ZERO BS.

The National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) — which comprises the Thorns and 15 other teams — but like the WNBA, the league doesn't have a policy that would automatically exclude a male-born player. Additionally, Washington and Colorado have measures on their Nov. 3 ballots that would restrict participation in school sports based on biological sex. Washington's initiative applies to K-12 athletics, while Colorado's would extend to college sports. Women such as Sousa and Kruse — along with XX-XY founder Jennifer Sey — have been resolute in trying to get those measures passed. They've just never considered violence or vitriol as among their tactics. "It's just fascinating this difference. Like, I live in Seattle, you know, as a conservative, I'm surrounded by things I don't like all the time — signs, ideas. It's never even crossed my mind to assault someone," Kruse said. "The mentality is very different."

Give us a week to steal your heart. Our track record is pretty good. Let's have some fun. They're so bent out of shape that they've slapped the band with cease and desist orders - a restraining order, to be exact – over this bit where lookalikes were brought on stage wearing what sure looks like Cowboys cheerleader outfits to get into a gun battle. For DCC alum like Stephanie Roberts, who danced for the team from 2015-2018, this is no laughing matter. In a TikTok video released Friday night, she wrote, "As a DCC alumni, I have a whole lot of nothing to say..." NFL QB & CHEERLEADER SISTER BELIEVED TO BE LEAGUE'S FIRST SIBLING DUO, BOAT RAMP FIGHT & EDDIE GEORGE'S HOUSE Guys, she's mad. "Let’s clarify one thing, the actual [Cowboys cheerleaders] were NOT present at this concert," she wrote in the caption. Here's another part of the show where fake Cowboys cheerleaders are dancing onstage. It's unclear if the DCC is mad over this or just the gun routine. In the comment section, amateur lawyers are analyzing the case. "If they didn’t introduce them as the Dallas cowboy cheerleaders they wont.

That said, Ric was on Instagram saying something about blood clots like Jalen Hurts. • Paul B. in Oxnard, CA takes me back to a Screencaps bit from June: I hopped on the $2 bill tip bandwagon. Mrs. Paul B. and I are in Nassau Bahamas for some nice R&R at an all-inclusive resort. Drinks are free but tips are appreciated and the $2 bill fits the (pardon the pun) bill perfectly. Kinsey: For the new readers, back in June, for some reason, I ran a piece of content on tipping with $2 bills and how it's much easier than carrying around a bunch of singles. Then, I went on the golf trip with Canoe Kirk and Diesel from my text group where we exclusively used $2 bills and all the workers at the resorts were mesmerized. Not only were they making pretty good money because we were throwing them around like drunken sailors, but there was also the conversation element. Give $2 bill tipping a try, especially if you're single and have trouble starting a conversation. • Shawn in Hellabama suggests: On the subject of political texts (and robocalls,) you gotta love that politicians placed a carve out in the Do Not Call list legislation where political ads were exempt from obey the list. One thing though, I do love that in the new iOS settings, that if a number calls that is not in your contacts, you can set it that your ringer will not go off. Then after the fact, when I go to delete the text or the call log, I can try to report spam so that hopefully the number will not call my phone again. I have enjoyed the Outkick column from almost the beginning, so thank you for the years of entertainment. Kinsey: I've heard from a couple of readers this week who've said they've loved the column since the beginning. I assume they mean since started appearing on OutKick. Now I want to hear from readers who've been with me for at least 15 years, since the Busted Coverage days. • Tom T. emails: I have to agree with Chris from California. Manners are important, and seeing someone with good manners is refreshing. My mom and dad taught us good manners, but the one who drilled it in was Grandma. She would call us out at the dinner table for bad manners, and then she would lay into my mom (her daughter) for not raising us right. In college, my roommate got a date with the hot girl that he had a crush on. I pulled him aside before the date, and told him NOT to hold his fork like a shovel, shoveling food into his mouth. I showed him the correct way to hold a fork. He was EXTREMELY grateful, because he just didn’t know. The date went well, and he may have gotten some make-out time due to his great table manners.

Wake up! It's another college football gameday! The season is just over the halfway point, and the temperature has been cranked way up. We've got conference races coming down to the wire. Playoff hopefuls in must-win situations. Arch Manning might get benched? Half the top 10 teams in the country lost last weekend. It's just chaos everywhere you look right now, which is why college football is, by far, the best sport in America. SEC'S CRAZY, HISTORY-MAKING WEEK 7 WEEKEND IS THE LATEST EXAMPLE OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL'S NEW ERA Now, with all that being said, it's also the dumbest sport in America — mainly due to the horrible NIL and transfer portal landscape that we've all created. And for those who don't believe me, here's Oregon State freshman star Jesse Legree — who is also one of the top receivers in the country — taking time out of his busy week of practice to hold a signing ceremony at his high school to announce ... ... that he's signing BACK with the Beavers for next season. Take a look: "What is the major announcement you want to make to the country?" the CBS fellas ask Legree, who is stationed at St. Francis Academy with what sounds like a big crowd on hand.

The initiative, known as the Shield of the Americas, is designed to expand security cooperation among countries in the Western Hemisphere, including intelligence sharing, military coordination and joint efforts to disrupt cartel financing. The coalition follows the Trump administration’s decision in February 2025 to designate eight major criminal organizations as both Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists. The groups include Tren de Aragua, MS-13, the Sinaloa Cartel, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, the Northeast Cartel, the Gulf Cartel, La Nueva Familia Michoacana and Carteles Unidos.  LATIN AMERICA’S CONSERVATIVE SHIFT FACES ITS BIGGEST TEST YET IN BRAZIL ELECTION "The main thing that we need to do is fight the cartels," Eduardo Bolsonaro told Fox News Digital. "They work together in a lot of countries, so we should fight back then." Brazil has not joined the initiative under left-wing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Eduardo Bolsonaro said that if his brother’s conservative Liberal Party wins the presidency, Brazil would work with the Trump administration to combat the country’s powerful criminal organizations. ‘DONROE’ DOCTRINE AND CONSERVATIVE VICTORIES SQUEEZE CARTELS IN LATIN AMERICA "So I’m sure that, under the leadership of President Trump and the Shield of the Americas, we have the opportunity for the first time" to work together against the cartels, Eduardo Bolsonaro said. Brazil’s presidential runoff will pit Flávio Bolsonaro against Lula after Bolsonaro led Lula in the first round. He has said he would seek closer security cooperation with the United States and other conservative governments in the region.  TRUMP ADMINISTRATION CRACKS DOWN ON BRAZIL'S BIGGEST DRUG GANGS WITH ‘GLOBAL TERROR’ DESIGNATION The potential addition of Brazil would expand the coalition’s presence in South America, where criminal groups such as Primeiro Comando da Capital and Comando Vermelho have become major forces in the regional drug trade. Other countries participating in the U.S.-led effort include Argentina, El Salvador and Peru. The initiative has also drawn participation from countries including Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay and Chile, according to the State Department. DRUG CARTEL KINGPIN AMONG TARGETS IN SWEEPING TRUMP CRACKDOWN ON ALLEGED MEXICAN CORRUPTION NETWORK The coalition’s broader goals include combating drug trafficking, disrupting criminal financing and strengthening cooperation among law enforcement and military officials. U.S. officials have repeatedly linked cartel activity to the trafficking of fentanyl and other illicit drugs into the United States. Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., has also attributed hundreds of thousands of American deaths to cartel-linked drug overdoses.

Misty Leslie, 48, died after an Independence Police Department officer driving a 2024 Ford Explorer struck the passenger side of her 2022 Audi SQ5 at an intersection outside Kansas City shortly after 1 a.m. on Oct. 11. The Independence Police Department said in a statement that the officer was traveling west on U.S. Highway 24 with his emergency lights and siren activated when Leslie's northbound Audi entered the intersection. REPEAT OFFENDER SLAYS 2 MISSOURI DEPUTIES BEFORE DYING IN SHOOTOUT, SHERIFF SAYS Police said early evidence suggests the officer had a green light and Leslie had a red light when the crash occurred. Both drivers were wearing seat belts. Leslie was taken to a hospital with serious injuries and later died. The officer was also hospitalized but was not seriously injured. Police have not said how fast either vehicle was traveling or what emergency the officer was responding to. The crash remains under investigation. The collision comes months after Independence police tightened restrictions on high-speed pursuits following years of scrutiny over the department's driving practices. DELAWARE STATE TROOPER KILLED IN DMV SHOOTING INCIDENT, GUNMAN ALSO DEAD WITH NO ACTIVE THREAT: OFFICIALS During a March City Council meeting, interim Police Chief Douglas Brinkley said Independence officers conducted 541 pursuits in 2025, compared with 137 by Kansas City police, The Kansas City Star reported. "I do think we have a reputation for pursuing but we still have to balance that risk versus reward," Brinkley told council members. A 2024 investigation by the newspaper found that Independence led the Kansas City metropolitan area in high-speed police pursuits. More than 1,200 pursuits across the region in 2022 resulted in over 150 crashes and 51 injuries, with Independence accounting for about one-third of those injuries. VIDEO SHOWS POLICE OFFICER AMBUSHED IN PATROL CAR IN EXPLOSION OF GUNFIRE, SUSPECT FOUND DEAD AFTER SHOOTOUT The department revised its policy earlier this year to restrict pursuits for minor traffic violations and city ordinance offenses. Leslie's crash, however, occurred while an officer was responding to an emergency call, not during a reported pursuit. Fox News Digital has contacted the Independence Police Department seeking details about the officer's speed, the emergency call, his duty status and whether any video captured the crash.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adcb08a11846704b3a7e009 Christina Applegate's MS misdiagnosis after 5 years of treatment exposes alarming medical reality te 2026-10-24T13:20:10.899Z Christina Applegate's MS misdiagnosis after 5 years of treatment exposes alarming medical reality Christina Applegate’s recent revelation that she was misdiagnosed with multiple sclerosis is raising questions about how the disease can be confused with other conditions — even after years of treatment. The actress, 54, shared the news during an Oct. 20 episode of her podcast, "MeSsy," alongside co-host Jamie-Lynn Sigler, saying she was in a complete "state of shock." Applegate was first diagnosed with MS in 2021 after experiencing debilitating symptoms and undergoing extensive testing, including brain and spinal MRIs and a spinal tap. She said doctors found dozens of lesions on her brain. CHRISTINA APPLEGATE SAYS SHE WAS MISDIAGNOSED WITH MS AND IS NOW 'BACK AT SQUARE ONE' After years of treatment, her doctor decided to stop her regular infusions and monitor her B cells. "And my B cells didn't change. They didn't go higher, they didn't go lower, they didn't change, and she had never seen that. So I guess that began kind of a study into my diagnosis," Applegate shared. After additional brain scans, the doctor came into Applegate’s room and said, "Congratulations, you don't have MS." The actress did not consider this to be good news, however. "Because you don't get misdiagnosed and then all of a sudden [you’re] better," she said. "I haven't gotten better … If anything, I've gotten worse in some ways." CARLY SIMON REVEALS THE COMMON CONDITION THAT MASKED HER PARKINSON'S DIAGNOSIS Applegate noted that she has "every symptom" of someone with MS, adding that there are many conditions that mirror the disease. She recalled that her MRIs clearly showed around 30 lesions, but said her neurologist identified a different feature — which she described as a "string" — that led to the conclusion that she did not have MS. "So I'm back at square one [and] don't know what's going on with me." Dr. Marwa Kaisey, an associate professor of neurology at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, said during a follow-up "MeSsy" podcast episode that misdiagnosis of MS is "fairly common." In a study of patients referred to MS clinics at UCLA and Cedars-Sinai, Kaisey — who has not treated Applegate — said she found that nearly one in five who arrived with an MS diagnosis ultimately did not have the disease. BRAIN TUMOR FOUND DURING PREVENTIVE SCAN PUTS FULL-BODY MRIS BACK IN THE SPOTLIGHT "Some [had been diagnosed] for decades," she said. "And a majority of them were on medication to treat their MS." The primary challenge, according to the doctor, is that there is no single test for MS. "It's not like we have something like a pregnancy test that says, yes, you have it, no, you don't." Instead, Kaisey said, "It's a list of criteria, some of which remain a little bit subjective." Most misdiagnosed patients did have some type of white matter spots, or lesions, on their MRI scans, Kaisey noted, but they had a different cause that was not MS. Newer imaging techniques may help doctors distinguish MS lesions from white matter spots caused by other conditions. Kaisey pointed to the "central vein sign," an MRI finding that looks for small blood vessels running through the center of lesions, which is a characteristic associated with MS. The sign was incorporated into updated MS diagnostic criteria to help doctors determine whether white matter lesions are consistent with the disease. Richard Ransohoff, MD, a Boston-based neurologist who sits on the Board of Directors for the American Brain Foundation, called the central vein sign "a real step forward" in distinguishing MS lesions from other abnormalities. "Things are getting better, and even in the time that Ms. Applegate has been having her symptoms and her evaluation, things have gotten better," said Ransohoff, who also has not treated the actress. SELMA BLAIR'S LAWYER CITES MISSED MEDICATION, HEAD INJURY AFTER IN-FLIGHT ARREST: WHAT DOCTORS SAY Many of the symptoms of MS — such as tingling or numbness in the feet, fatigue and brain fog — are very common in other conditions as well, according to both neurologists. "To distinguish MS from its mimics can be challenging, and doctors, even with the best intentions … can sometimes still get it wrong," Kaisey said. "To diagnose MS, we need a symptom that's kind of very specific to MS, and we also need the MRI that looks like MS." Kaisey said she has found that being "undiagnosed" with MS can be even harder than receiving the initial diagnosis, particularly when the disease has become intertwined with someone's identity, family and community. "So to suddenly take that away, I think it’s earth-shattering. It's life-changing in a huge way." EARLY PARKINSON’S SYMPTOMS MISDIAGNOSED FOR YEARS, TERRY CREWS’ WIFE REVEALS The neurologist emphasized that patients should feel comfortable asking questions and getting a second opinion. "Don't be afraid to do that, especially if something inside is telling you that you need to dig a little deeper," she advised. Ransohoff reiterated that MS misdiagnoses are common. "It’s a tough diagnosis, and there is no single element in the diagnostic process that tells you with 100% certainty that it is MS," he told Fox News Digital. The neurologist said even after a diagnosis, doctors should "keep an open mind" and be willing to reconsider. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ "If things start going differently from your expectations, if the person begins to have symptoms that really don't fit in with MS, or they don't respond to treatment, then you really start to put on your thinking cap and say, ‘What else could this be?’" "It requires the ultimate in humility as a physician. You simply have to say there are certain things we know and certain things we don't know." Classic early MS symptoms tend to appear relatively quickly, persist for weeks and then recede, according to Ransohoff. Anything producing a similar pattern can potentially mimic the disease. Some of those conditions may include certain strokes in younger people, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disease (a rare autoimmune disease of the central nervous system), MOG antibody disease (a rare autoimmune inflammatory disorder), lupus and migraine, he said. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER Migraine is one of the most common alternative diagnoses, both neurologists agreed. Kaisey noted that migraine can also produce MRI abnormalities in the form of white spots, although they are usually smaller and in a different shape and location. "If you're not looking closely at the MRI or you don't know exactly what to look for, you can confuse the two," she said. In some cases, reversing an MS diagnosis can actually provide a concrete alternative diagnosis and better-targeted treatment — but that did not happen in Applegate’s case, Ransohoff noted. CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES "You have to have tremendous sympathy for her suffering in that context, because even when treatment is not going as well as you would like, it's better to know what you're dealing with," he said. "Facing the unknown when you feel crappy is a very tough road to go." To prevent misdiagnosis, Ransohoff recommends that everyone who receives a multiple sclerosis diagnosis is seen by a specialist at a specialty MS center, who has developed pattern recognition after many occurrences of seeing the disease. The neurologist noted that MS treatment has advanced dramatically over the course of his career, growing from virtually no options to more than 20 medications today. "You want to work with someone who has experience with all those medicines, with all the various patterns that MS can show, because every person's MS is different," he said. If a treatment isn’t helping or is causing significant side effects, an MS specialist can reassess the approach and help identify a more appropriate medication, Ransohoff added. The doctor emphasized that the outlook for people who do have MS has improved dramatically. "The person who's diagnosed with MS today is totally different from 40 years ago when I got started," the neurologist said. "If the diagnosis is correct and the treatment is correct, then they should do pretty well with their MS."

Then-NBC host Katie Couric summed it up in 2001: "The French, they’ve got it right, don’t they?" Socialism is always a warm, comforting blanket. It can’t ever fail. So, when violent rioting recently broke out in Paris and other cities, the preferred TV term was failing "public services." On Oct. 19, ABC foreign correspondent Tom Soufi-Burridge said: "The protest Saturday, involving hundreds of thousands of people, were supposed to be about the cost of living, and the state of France’s public services, but the situation quickly spiraled out of control in multiple French cities." REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK: FRANCE BRACES FOR MORE UNREST AFTER PARTS OF PARIS SPUN OUT OF CONTROL "CBS Mornings" star Gayle King echoed it: "The demonstrations began to protest the rising costs of living and declining public services." CBS reporter Aidan Stretch also cited a "ballooning government deficit," which is code for overspending. The socialists would blame undertaxing. Most network reports didn’t avoid that there was violent rioting, looting and property destruction. But they claimed the protests were "hijacked" by bad people. CBS’s Stretch pushed the split: "The most extreme unrest was in cities across France, where protests over poor school conditions and worker pay were hijacked by masked rioters who torched cars, burned down government buildings and looted stores, stealing most of the inventory from this boxing shop." FRANCE'S MACRON BLAMES PROTESTS ON 'ULTRA-LEFT GROUPS WHOSE AIM IS TO BRING DOWN THE REPUBLIC' On the "PBS News Hour," Ross Cullen blamed "underinvestment" by the socialists: "More than 600,000 people took part in peaceful rallies across the country, a convergence of different protest movements demonstrating against high gas prices, rising inflation, and underinvestment in public services. But the unrest that took hold after the demonstrations was unprecedented." There was still some ludicrous "mostly peaceful" phrasing. Many mocked the BBC, as its Paris-based reporter James Waterhouse claimed, "They were mostly peaceful, but as we saw in the capital, in the wings were those who wanted to take advantage of the disorder." PHOTOS SHOW AFTERMATH OF RIOTS AS MASKED GROUPS CLASH WITH POLICE ACROSS FRANCE He toed that line that there were "genuine protesters," ruined by opportunist thugs: "And this morning, in Paris and across France, there is an anger. Few believe this was at the hands of the genuine protesters, but down to an opportunistic minority who came in and sought to rob and cause carnage." That throbs with support for the radicals organizing this movement, just as the BBC and American networks promoted Black Lives Matter in the violent protests and rioting after George Floyd’s death in 2020. National Public Radio struggled with how all this unrest could be exploited. A morning news anchor lamented: "The French far right is capitalizing on what is described as the seeming failure of President [Emmanuel] Macron’s government to keep order." Seeming failure? NPR heard from French political scientist Dominique Moisi, warning about the right wing: "The risk that Marine Le Pen will be the next president of France are very real, very high." MACRON JETS OUT OF RIOT-TORN FRANCE FOR GULF TRIP AS POLITICAL PRESSURE MOUNTS NBC chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel also lamented the "far right" exploiting it all. "We were there earlier this month as student protests over school conditions, initially peaceful, were growing and meeting resistance. Some of the demonstrators are trying to kick it away, to throw it away. Why all of this now? A mix of discontented youth, economic anxiety and politics, with France's far right saying all of the mayhem is caused by illegal immigration – hoping to capitalize on these scenes to win national elections just six months from now." The "far right" in France are defined as extreme for their ardent opposition to mass migration, especially from Muslim countries, and how it will make France more like the Third World. President Donald Trump was very outspoken about letting in immigrants who hate Western civilization: "If Europe doesn’t close its borders and bring the criminals out, like the people that are protesting, Europe is finished." GRETA THUNBERG JOINS PARIS PROTESTS, UNDERSCORING RADICAL THREE-WAY ALLIANCE CNN and MS NOW joined in denouncing Trump for "fearmongering" over riots in "darker overtones" for political gain, which is pretty rich considering how the entire elitist media couldn’t stop talking about the Jan. 6 riot for four years to punish Republicans. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION Network TV coverage avoided showing Palestinian flags and other signs of Islamic "resistance." When activist Greta Thunberg shows up at your protests, it’s radical left and "pro-Palestinian." This also happened in the newspapers. Former White House spokesman Ari Fleischer tweeted: "I asked Grok if the NYT [New York Times] or WP [Washington Post] have shown any pictures of the rioters in France holding Palestinian flags. The answer is no. Why are these papers hiding the truth? Why are they sanitizing the news to protect Islamists?" On the left, wokeness unites socialists and Muslims in a "diversity" framework advocating for the "marginalized." They chant "Free Palestine" as if Gaza was all about liberty and democracy. They don’t want anyone to consider who gets marginalized in Muslim-dominated theocracies. And they won’t report accurately when leftists riot abroad or at home.

The Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, Picasso Museum and Grand Palais were all shuttered Saturday as French officials prepared for another weekend of potentially violent demonstrations, according to The Associated Press (AP). Visitors were seen peering through the Louvre's locked gates Saturday, where a posted notice announced its temporary closure. TOP TOURIST DESTINATION IN THE WORLD SHUTS DOWN AMID VIOLENT PROTESTS The museum, home to Leonardo da Vinci's famed "Mona Lisa," was among several major attractions closed amid fears of violent protests. French officials planned to deploy up to 70,000 law enforcement officers nationwide on Saturday, supported by helicopters, armored vehicles and water cannons, according to the AP. The closures came as protesters gathered across France on Saturday, with police rerouting Paris' main demonstration away from the city center to prevent another outbreak of violence. FURIOUS CROWDS PROTEST SKY-HIGH HOUSING COSTS AND MASS TOURISM IN MAJOR CITY Shopkeepers were seen boarding up storefronts across Paris, while police stood guard beneath the Arc de Triomphe as authorities braced for another round of unrest.

New York Supreme Court Justice Phaedra Perry-Bond, who is presiding over the civil case, said in a Friday order that Jane Doe had argued that publicly identifying her could expose her to "retribution and retaliation," hinder her social life and career, and cause shame to her family. Doe also told the court that she fears being identified would lead to her family being placed in danger, adding that she has "experienced extreme anxiety, depression, and insomnia." None of the defendants opposed Doe's request to continue using a pseudonym, according to the order. CORNELL UNIVERSITY BANS FRATERNITY PARTIES FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR AFTER SEX ABUSE LAWSUIT Ultimately, the judge ruled that Doe's privacy interests outweighed the normal presumption that court proceedings should be fully public, especially given "the notoriety of the allegations" and "the widespread reports of certain malicious actors' behavior in attempting to threaten and retaliate against anyone tangentially involved in this case." In an unusual move, the judge included a sort of public service announcement in her order, warning that attempts to harass or threaten Doe, the defendants or attorneys involved in the case could constitute a federal crime and lead to prosecution. Perry-Bond also noted that allowing Doe to use a pseudonym would preserve public access to the case without resorting to more restrictive measures, such as sealing the court docket or closing the courtroom. While Doe will remain anonymous publicly, the individually named defendants will continue to be identified in court filings. CORNELL SEXUAL ASSAULT CASE REVIVES SCRUTINY OF A LITTLE-KNOWN NEW YORK LAW ON INTOXICATED VICTIMS However, Perry-Bond said protections for sensitive personal information, such as home addresses, phone numbers and email addresses, should also be extended to the individually named defendants. She invited the parties to propose an agreement providing similar protections to defendants and potentially other people involved in the case. Doe filed her lawsuit in September, accusing seven former Chi Phi fraternity members of drugging and raping her on the night of Oct. 19, 2024, and into the next morning. The complaint also names the fraternity itself, the university, and the bar Doe went to the night of the alleged gang rape. In the lawsuit, she alleges she was already intoxicated when she arrived at the fraternity house, where the men then pressured her to take ketamine and other substances. The men have denied wrongdoing, with some saying any sexual activity was consensual and others denying they were involved. BAR NAMED IN CORNELL RAPE LAWSUIT DISPUTES ACCUSER'S ACCOUNT, SAYS SHE WAS NEVER SERVED ALCOHOL WHILE UNDERAGE The fraternity was suspended on Nov. 8, 2024, the same day Doe reported sexual assault allegations to campus police, according to Doe's civil complaint. Local prosecutor Matthew Van Houten, who intially declined to pursue criminal charges, has said Doe's sworn statement from November 2024 did not allege that she was drugged against her will or gang-raped. That statement, Van Houten said, described her participation in drug use and sexual conduct as "voluntary, conscious, and consensual." However, CBS New York later obtained the transcript of the Cornell police interviews with Doe on Nov. 14 and 15, 2024, during which she told investigators: "I can say with 100% confidence I was raped." SALLY YATES' CORNELL REVIEW OF ALLEGED GANG RAPE COULD SCRUTINIZE CRUCIAL POLICE INTERVIEW, ATTORNEY SAYS Van Houten said he was never given this full transcript. He announced late last month that his office was reopening the investigation after allegations made in Doe's lawsuit differed from those in her sworn statement nearly two years earlier. Days after Van Houten reversed course, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul removed him from the case, citing her lack of confidence in his judgment, and appointed state Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor. James' appointment has also drawn controversy, with multiple defendants seeking her removal over alleged bias stemming largely from a social media post she made days before her appointment that they argue showed sympathy for Jane Doe. On Thursday, James filed a response in court, arguing that the defendants have no standing and that even if they did, the governor has the power to appoint a special prosecutor. A separate motion from another defendant, a former fraternity member, asked the state Supreme Court to disqualify James from any future grand jury proceedings, arguing that her public comments had prejudiced potential grand jurors and undermined the fairness of the process. That matter remains pending.

"I was peppered with birdshot at about 250 feet away, and I was struck in a fat pocket under my eye, and also in my forehead," Romano told Fox News Digital. "I still have birdshot behind my eye about a millimeter away from anything critical. And if it were to move, I would go blind. So we're hoping that doesn't happen."

"And I said, 'Well, you're a former Marine. You're going to enjoy this. Let's go do this.'

Romano wrote that her vision blurred as a "dark liquid" appeared to spread across her contact lenses. As Rooney and the unidentified shooter, whom Romano described as remorseful, rushed to her aid, she wrote that she looked "up at my husband of over 10 years. It's been a good run, right?" "The Texas sky is big and beautiful today," she wrote. "Cicadas haven't quite woken up from their long winter's nap this February, and it's not too hot or humid. It's a beautiful day to die."

I try to break the tension as we fly down an empty freeway, going well over the speed limit — 112 miles per hour, to be exact." "My oculoplastic surgeon had said that, usually, he's taking people's eyes out, kids, because they've been shot with a Nerf gun," Romano told Fox News Digital. "It just so happened to hit the right fat pocket right under the eye. And I really almost survived through a miracle because I think there was any amount of outcomes when it came to having birdshot striking my skull and my face." Romano wrote, "I'd have a scar and two pieces of birdshot permanently in my head, but I'd live. That's all that mattered." She said doctors determined that removing the fragments would be too risky, so they were left in place. Romano's oculoplastic surgeon, Dr. Sean Paul, previously explained that the birdshot entered beneath her eye and became lodged in bone farther back, narrowly missing her eyeball, optic nerve and eye muscles by about a millimeter. Paul said she also suffered a subconjunctival hemorrhage, or bleeding beneath the membrane covering the white of the eye, but the pellet did not penetrate the eyeball. Romano described her recovery as "pretty miraculous." She also thanked the medical staff at St. David's South Austin Medical Center in Austin, Texas, for their care. "The biggest lesson that I took away from that experience was that life is short, and you need to be really attuned to what it is that you want out of life," Romano explained. "And you need to have a good life. I'd lived such a chaotic lifestyle up until I became a mom that I think it really had me start to reflect even more with the book and exactly how I lived my life up until then.

Prosecutors are now weighing whether courtroom remarks warrant additional criminal charges after the Mobile man allegedly told a judge to kill his court-appointed attorney. Thomas Henry Steele, 47, is facing two counts of capital murder in the Oct. 12 deaths of his aunt, Christy Deloach, 65, and grandmother, Dora Boone, 85, at their home on Carolina Court in Mobile. During an Oct. 13 bond hearing and initial court hearing, Circuit Judge S. Wesley Pipes ordered an inpatient competency evaluation after Steele said "kill him" when the judge appointed public defender Glenn Davidson to represent him. SUSPECTED FLORIDA PUBLIX SLASHER WALKED FREE FROM COURT MONTHS EARLIER DESPITE VICTIM WARNINGS Davidson confirmed with Fox News Digital that he is still representing Steele, but does not have additional details to share while Steele undergoes a mental competency evaluation. "It’s a terrible situation but I won’t have an official way to question anybody until we get to the preliminary hearing," Davidson said. Tara Zieman, communications director for the Mobile County District Attorney’s Office, told Fox News Digital that prosecutors "have not decided" whether to pursue additional charges over the threat, pending the mental health results. "The defendant is currently being held without bond at a secure medical facility, where he is receiving treatment intended to restore his competency to stand trial," Zieman said. "If he is found competent, we will move forward with the prosecution and continue to advocate that he remain held without bond until resolution of the case." The evaluation, according to the DA’s office, could take up to 90 days and will be carried out at the Alabama Department of Mental Health.

AMERICANS ARE MAKING COSTLY GROCERY MISTAKE EVEN BEFORE ENTERING THE STORE, EXPERT WARNS "I started gardening in my first corporate job as a way to cope with stress and anxiety, and I started with just a few potted herbs," she said.

Perr said the book's roughly 100 recipes aim to "spotlight fresh produce in super flavorful but attainable ways." GROCERY SHOPPERS MAY BE RELYING ON A 'MISLEADING' CLUE WHEN CHOOSING HEALTHY FOODS "I think that there's a big misconception that eating seasonally has to be expensive," Perr said. "But when you go to a farmers market or your local grocery store, typically what's in season is the more inexpensive option." She recommends using your senses to guide your produce picks: Look for vibrant colors, feel whether an item is firm or soft and check that herbs smell fragrant. "When you pick up a bunch of cilantro, you should immediately be able to smell it," Perr said.  CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE NEWS The cooking process starts as soon as you're picking out ingredients, she said, so she encourages shoppers to slow down and take in the experience.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adca27811846704b3a7dde5 AI hasn’t replaced humans. Employers are still betting on college degrees te 2026-10-24T12:20:08.572Z AI hasn’t replaced humans. Employers are still betting on college degrees The current narrative would have you believe that higher education is a dying institution. Experts consistently claim that a four-year degree is no longer worth the investment, warning that artificial intelligence (AI) is on the verge of rendering human labor obsolete. The prevailing message dictates that machines will soon dominate the workforce, leaving the next generation with no viable career paths. But a recent Gallup poll reveals a contrasting reality. While public anxiety is high, the job market tells a different story. According to a recent Gallup study, a staggering 80% of employers prefer to hire candidates with a college degree, even for roles that do not explicitly require one. Furthermore, 6 in 10 employers express a high level of confidence in higher education. While public trust in institutions has undeniably plummeted, the people actually handing out paychecks still find immense value in the university system. These hiring managers are acting on current market demands. They recognize an economic reality cultural commentators have missed. DEMOCRATS SOUND ALARM OVER AI JOB APOCALYPSE — BUT LABOR MARKET ISN'T FOLLOWING SCRIPT The most fascinating revelation in the data involves our collective panic over artificial intelligence. The dominant cultural narrative repeatedly asserts that generative AI will replace white-collar workers and make higher education irrelevant. Yet, nearly half of the surveyed employers believe that college degrees will actually become more important over the next five years specifically because of AI. Only a quarter believe degrees will lose their value. The business sector sees this same technological disruption and concludes that formal education is becoming a scarcer but more necessary commodity. CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY AIMS TO PRODUCE 'IRREPLACEABLE' GRADUATES AS AI RESHAPES HIGHER EDUCATION The market is reacting this way because artificial intelligence has exposed the limits of automation. As technical, repetitive tasks become increasingly automated, the value of uniquely human traits is actually skyrocketing. Employers want young professionals who possess relational intelligence, the ability to navigate friction and the resilience to solve complex problems. When an employer sees a college degree, that business leader sees a certification of competence, but also sees documented proof of hard work. A degree signals that a young adult can commit to a multi-year project, accept critical feedback and collaborate with a diverse team. These are the foundational skills of professionals. They are the skills a machine cannot replicate. FORTY-FIVE PERCENT OF COLLEGE STUDENTS SAY VIOLENCE CAN BE JUSTIFIED TO STOP HATE SPEECH, POLL FINDS However, higher education leaders cannot afford to view this survey as the final victory. The fact that employers currently trust universities and colleges does not mean they will always trust them. This data should not be used to justify raising tuition or the construction of resort-style campus amenities. The American university system must continue to evolve and stay relevant in today’s world. Furthermore, universities must continually guard against intellectual fragility. If institutions prioritize emotional comfort over rigorous debate, they will graduate students who are ill-equipped for a competitive global economy. Employers desire critical thinkers, not activists who demand everyone agree with them. If universities become expensive echo chambers rather than centers of intellectual friction, the results of this survey will be reversed. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION It is telling that the Gallup data shows the lowest confidence in higher education comes from small businesses with fewer than 10 employees. These entrepreneurs are the backbone of the American economy and cannot afford the luxury of a bad hire. They need immediate competence. Universities must bridge this gap by partnering with local businesses and ensuring that academic programs are directly aligned with actual workforce needs. The fear that technology will erase human relevance in the workplace is unwarranted. Business has clearly stated that it still values the development of the human mind and the resilience built through formal education. Now, the burden of proof is squarely on our institutions. Universities must embrace discipline and continue to shape capable leaders. If we do, we can assure the next generation that their future in the workforce remains secure.

At the time, Sarkisian was discussing the Longhorns’ need to break through the College Football Playoff semifinals. Now, the conversation surrounding Texas centers on whether Arch Manning can make it through Saturday night’s showdown against Ole Miss without Sarkisian being forced to turn to backup KJ Lacey. "He's very comfortable with who he is. He's not trying to be something that he's not," Sarkisian said at SEC Media Days about Manning. DID WE CREATE A MONSTER? ARCH MANNING 'AW SHUCKS' PERSONA IS SUPPOSEDLY GONE BEFORE CRITICAL OLE MISS SHOWDOWN Unfortunately for those that have rooting interest on 'Forty Acres' in the football program, we have reached the point where this has become a must-win game against Ole Miss, for a Longhorns team that continues to struggle on offense without many answers on how to fix it, besides letting Arch "rip it." Looking back to those conversations in Tampa before the season started, Arch Manning is now trying to be something he's not by taking on an "edgy" mindset with his perceived back against the wall. Or maybe it's the opposite. Has Manning always been a young man that carried an edge about him, until Sarkisian tamed him? Either way, Steve Sarkisian has noticed something different about his quarterback this week, which also comes at a time of heightened criticism towards the Texas offense. "I don’t know if we lost him. We created this. We did. All of us. Y’all included. Me. The whole thing, right. Everybody on ESPN, we’ve created this. And so we’ll see what comes out of it," Sarkisian said about Manning's persona this week. STEVE SARKISIAN VOWS TO 'EVALUATE EVERYTHING,' WON’T RULE OUT BENCHING ARCH MANNING AMID TEXAS' TWO-GAME SKID A loss to the Rebels inside DKR Stadium on Saturday would all but seal the fate of this Texas team that has spent over $40 million in hopes of contending for a national championship this season. Instead, the situation in Austin has taken a dramatic turn over the past three weeks. Consecutive losses to unranked opponents — including a debacle against Florida — have forced staffers inside the football facility to operate with a sense of urgency. Meanwhile, those outside the program are wondering whether Manning and Sarkisian can finally produce a performance that matches the hype. Yes, the fourth-quarter comeback win against Ohio State still carries weight in terms of upcoming CFP rankings. But, with the subdued offensive numbers that Sarkisian and Arch Manning have produced over the past month, the pressure has now reached a fever pitch within the Texas fan base. What does the Longhorns quarterback do with the pressure mounting on this offense to finally break through the fourth wall with enough firepower to keep up with an team like Ole Miss? "Just letting it rip," Arch Manning said this week. "Our backs are against the wall right now, and there's no place I'd rather be. Just let her rip. I'm going to die on the hill of, I'm letting it rip." No more thinking, just doing. That's the plan for a Texas offense that should be three steps ahead of its current state, if you factor in the amount of talent that takes the field on every drive. STEVE SARKISIAN’S ‘JOE SMITH’ ARGUMENT FOR ARCH MANNING IS ABSOLUTE NONSENSE FOR AN AVERAGE QB The problem for this offense doesn’t just solely fall at the hands of Arch Manning, as Sarkisian has to rightfully take plenty of the blame. This scheme feels bland, compared to what it might actually look like within the playbook. "I think there’s no doubt about it, Arch can play better for us," Sarkisian said on Monday. "He’s our starter, but I need to see a better version of Arch Manning like I need to see a better version of a lot of guys on our offensive football team right now, but we need to see a better version of him this week." But, what if Manning is just an average quarterback with a last name that is a cornerstone of football? There's nothing wrong with that, and the conversation around Arch is warranted based off the perceived talent that is within in. At the end of the day, though, the only thing we can rely on is what we see on a weekly basis out of Texas... Appearing on the Craig Carton show this week, former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf had a blunt answer regarding what he has seen from Arch Manning this season and whether he should return for another year of college ball. "I think Texas is a great spot for him because the talent is so rich and they're going to have a great football team," Leaf mentioned. But listen, he's an average college quarterback. Even more so because of how talented his teammates are. It doesn’t mean he's bad. "Does he have the DNA to become better and continue to get better? Of course he does. It would such a mistake for someone to draft him high. If another year allows him to get better and improve, then do it..." Now comes the biggest test of the Sarkisian-Manning era at Texas. A showdown with Ole Miss that will determine whether we are still talking about the Longhorns as a legit contender for the college football playoff once the first rankings are announced in just a few weeks. And they will have to do it against a Pete Golding defense that is looking to stay on its own path towards the postseason behind an offense that actually seems to have its stuff together behind Trinidad Chambliss. There is no way we will see another weekend of chaos like what we witnessed last Saturday, right? If you haven’t figured it out by now, parity has finally wreaked havoc on a sport that is filled with $35 to $45 million rosters. And sometimes, it just comes down to a situation not working out. For instance, I don't imagine folks in Ann Arbor would be wondering why Michigan would be forced to bench a quarterback it signed out of high school with a contract worth millions. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE But, Bryce Underwood wasn’t cutting it, so now the Wolverines turn to freshman Tommy Carr for a showdown against No. 6 Indiana that could ultimately be a trap for a Hoosiers team coming off a close loss to Ohio State. Is there an upset brewing in Michigan? Based off what we have seen this season around college football, nothing is off the table. There might even come a time on Saturday when the Wolverines have to give Underwood the ball back, if the Carr experiment doesn’t come to fruition as the coaching staff is hoping. Either way, the expensive marriage between Michigan and Bryce Underwood feels as though it coming to an end in Ann Arbor, with a contract clause that will allow the Wolverines to go their separate way following the 2026 season without financial penalty. Unfortunately, though, this is the gamble you take on a high school quarterback that shows a lot of potential, but there is zero evidence to show that they will be successful at the collegiate level. In a way, it's as if worlds are colliding between the Texas and Michigan football programs in terms of quarterbacks. A lot of promise. A lot of money spent on making sure they compete for a title. But two programs living on different spectrums of chaos this season. In other words, college football in 2026.

"There is absolutely a national defense readiness ramifications for [low testosterone]," Adm. Brian Christine, a senior Department of Health and Human Services official, told Fox News Digital in an interview. Christine also pointed to broader health challenges facing the military's recruiting pool, warning that 77% of Americans ages 17 to 24 do not qualify for service without a waiver, with obesity, chronic disease and other barriers contributing to the problem. Among young men, he said, more than 70% are ineligible, while only about 3% of young Americans express interest in serving. The warning comes as the Trump administration places a renewed emphasis on military readiness, with Christine helping shape an initiative that led the Pentagon to issue testosterone deficiency screening guidelines for male service members ages 30 and older in September. THE REAL REASON BEHIND HEGSETH'S VIRAL MILITARY TESTOSTERONE SCREENING ORDER Trump entered his second term with an aggressive approach to rebuilding the American military, tightening fitness requirements, axing DEI policies, overhauling weapons acquisition, building up recruitment and refocusing the force on combat readiness and lethality. Christine, a urologist who spent more than 35 years specializing in men's health, said testosterone levels have been declining for decades, raising concerns about the long-term health of American men and the physical demands placed on those serving in uniform. "I think it's incredibly important, incredibly timely," Christine said of the screening guidance. Under the Pentagon's guidelines, male service members ages 30 and older undergo mandatory screening for testosterone deficiency, beginning with an assessment of symptoms and risk factors, with further testing and potential treatment available when medically appropriate. 'WOKE' MILITARY ACADEMIES TARGETED IN NEW BLUEPRINT FOR SWEEPING WARFIGHTING OVERHAUL "We're not forcing testosterone on anybody," Christine said. "But what we are doing is screening, taking those men who are symptomatic and have low numbers and offering them a pathway forward." The HHS official pointed to obesity and chronic disease as established factors associated with low testosterone, while raising concerns that environmental exposures, including microplastics and other toxins, could also be contributing to the decline — a possibility researchers are still investigating. "In the mid-1970s, the average testosterone level for men in this country... was well over 650. Now it's approaching 350," Christine said. POPULAR WEIGHT-LOSS DRUGS LINKED TO UNEXPECTED MALE FERTILITY BENEFIT National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya echoed those concerns in a separate interview with Fox News Digital, warning that some testosterone deficiency may be going undiagnosed even as medical guidelines stress that a diagnosis requires both symptoms and consistently low hormone levels. "It's interesting because if you look at the epidemiological trends, testosterone levels in the American male population have been declining over the last decades. And again, we don't know why. We don't have an answer," Bhattacharya said. Bhattacharya said researchers must determine not only why testosterone levels are declining, but also what medical guidance should follow for men diagnosed with a deficiency. "There are under-diagnosed testosterone deficiencies." "The question of what to do about it, how to prevent it, that's at the top of my mind," he added. LONGER LIVES, WORSE HEALTH? SCIENTISTS UNCOVER TROUBLING TREND ACROSS GENERATIONS The NIH director also pointed to declining sperm counts as another area requiring further scientific investigation, suggesting that environmental exposures could be contributing to broader reproductive health concerns. "But even more importantly, what are the factors, probably environmental factors, that have led to the decline in sperm counts, for instance? We need an answer to those questions," Bhattacharya said. Bhattacharya said the NIH is investing in research to better understand the potential causes of those trends and determine how doctors should advise American men. Christine said that testosterone is about more than muscle growth or physical appearance, arguing that hormone levels play an important role in men's overall health. DEMS ROASTED FOR COMPARING HEGSETH'S TESTOSTERONE INITIATIVE TO 'GENDER-AFFIRMING CARE' "Testosterone levels in men are absolutely related to their overall well-being, to their lifespan, to their health span, and to their wellness," Christine said. He also noted that men with low testosterone tend to experience higher rates of anxiety and depression. The administration is also developing separate hormonal health guidance for female service members, which the Defense Health Agency said would follow the September guidelines issued for male troops, with women's health specialists contributing to the recommendations, Christine said. Christine said that the goal is ensuring that service members are equipped to perform their duties while addressing broader health challenges affecting American men. "If we truly want our men who are in uniform to be at their best," Christine said, the focus must be on their ability to function and perform their jobs.

A scammer gave it a bad name. For months, Leslie Pickett thought she was talking to Jon Bon Jovi, the rock star she had adored since she was 14. The man behind the screen messaged her day and night, sent convincing videos and eventually persuaded her to hand over thousands of dollars. By the time the deception unraveled, she had lost more than $10,000 and came close to losing her home. WOMAN LOSES NEARLY $1M IN LINKEDIN ROMANCE SCAM "My heart was shattered," the Louisiana resident told Fox News Digital. "I was still willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. But there was nothing but ill intent. That's what hurt the most." Pickett's story is featured in the National Geographic documentary special "Super Scam Me," in which Emmy Award-winning journalist Mariana van Zeller goes undercover to investigate online scams, traveling to Africa to confront a suspected scammer face-to-face. "We're living in the era of scams," van Zeller told Fox News Digital. "Romance scams, in particular, are the fastest growing, and I believe, most devastating form of financial crime out there. One in seven Americans have reported losing money to romance scams. And so, I think now is the best time to raise awareness." WATCH: Woman warns of SIM swap scam after hackers drained her bank account Fox News Digital reached out to Bon Jovi’s spokesperson for comment. Pickett, who was "more of a Facebook person," was introduced to Instagram by her daughter. She came across Bon Jovi's verified account in late 2024 and commented on one of his posts. Five minutes later, she received a response from an account that appeared to belong to Bon Jovi himself. However, the account wasn't verified. "He gave very thoughtful answers to my questions, so I genuinely thought it was him," Pickett said. "And I wasn't too knowledgeable about those check marks. I had doubts, but hey, a girl can dream." According to Pickett, the impostor told her Bon Jovi wanted to connect with his fans more personally. He also warned that if Bon Jovi's management discovered the secret account, it would be shut down. For months, the two exchanged messages "several times a day and several times at night," bonding over music and common interests. According to Pickett, the impostor remembered details from their earliest conversations, told her "I love you" and even sent a bouquet of flowers to her home. He also sent recorded videos, and the two eventually connected on a live video call. Pickett, who had no idea he was generative AI to play the rock star, was convinced she was talking to Bon Jovi. The scammer also claimed that he and his wife had quietly filed for divorce but were keeping it under wraps to protect his public image. Pickett showed the photos and videos to her cousin, who was skeptical that Bon Jovi would be in a secret relationship with a fan. But after seeing the images, he reportedly exclaimed, "That's him! There's no doubt about it." FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X "It was like talking to my best friend," Pickett said. "He said he wanted to meet someone normal. He didn't want somebody that wanted fame, money and things like that. So, we didn't really talk about stuff like that. We talked about everyday life. I had my doubts, but I was praying it was him." Months later, the man posing as Bon Jovi started asking for money. "He had an exclusive performance in Nashville, where he only let a thousand people buy tickets," Pickett recalled. "The show was legitimate. Unfortunately, I tried to buy tickets, but they sold out in four minutes. When I told him about it, he suggested a meet and greet. He had never asked me for money before. He said, 'To get you in the meet and greet, you're going to have go through management since there are no tickets left.’ He gave me emails to his management, and he walked me through how to do everything. I've never even heard of the word 'crypto.’" SIGN UP TO GET THE LATEST TRUE CRIME NEWS "That was a red flag, but the money was given with intent," Pickett continued. "I was supposed to get something in return. Meet and greets are also a common thing with famous people so I didn't see it as scammy at all. The bitcoin and crypto were the only things that made me go, 'Why am I not logging into a regular site?' He said, 'Those get hacked all the time. This is the safest way to do it.' He put me at ease." The requests for money started small but added up over time. Pickett sent $100 or $150 at a time, only to be told the payments hadn't gone through. The impostor then instructed her to send larger amounts through different payment methods, including Venmo, PayPal, Cash App and cryptocurrency. When one method supposedly failed, she would try another, sometimes staying up at night trying to figure out how to send the money. "Nothing felt abnormal until I realized the money wasn't coming back into my account," Pickett said. SIGN UP TO GET THE TRUE CRIME NEWSLETTER Van Zeller described the scammer’s interactions with Pickett as a "slow burn." "At first approach, it started as a normal conversation," van Zeller explained. "People think he approached her and said, ‘Hi, I’m Jon Bon Jovi. I’m madly in love with you. Send me money.’ That’s not the case. It took him seven months before he asked Leslie for money. Many people think, ‘How can you give money to a stranger?’ But for Leslie, and many other victims, this was at a point when he wasn’t a stranger. With some victims, they speak to scammers for months, even years." Advances in artificial intelligence made the deception even harder to detect. "I had the chance of watching some of the videos that the fake Jon Bon Jovi sent Leslie," van Zeller said. "At one point during this experiment, I was dating three George Clooneys, several Brad Pitts and a few Keanu Reeves. A few sent me videos that were very bad, but some were very good. I received one video from a fake George Clooney that you can watch in the documentary that looked very real. These weren't the old deep fake videos of the past that are full of distortions. These looked professional, believable." LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE "In the videos, he would say my name," Pickett recalled. "He would send me videos all the time. One time, I told him, 'Pull on your right ear, cross your eyes and stick your tongue out.' He would send me that within five minutes. That's how good AI is." In July 2025, the scammer told Pickett he was flying to Louisiana for a meet and greet. He sent her photos of himself seated at a table in a hotel she recognized. The light fixtures, furniture, carpet, utensils and even the napkin rings all matched. SEND US A TIP According to Pickett, the scammer told her they needed to complete a security clearance check through Google Chat before they could finally meet in person. When Pickett tried to join the video call, he abruptly hung up. He texted her afterward, claiming there was a security breach because his management believed she was trying to record the call. The impostor then told Pickett that if she was willing to pay more money to his management, they could arrange another security check, and he would even remain in town for a while. This time, he requested a much larger amount of Bitcoin. "At that point, I thought, 'Oh my God, this is just not real,'" Pickett said. "That's when my heart sank because I knew I had been duped. That's when I decided to reach out to Mariana for help." Even after realizing she had been deceived, Pickett wondered whether the man she had been talking to for months was someone living in the United States who genuinely cared about her — someone who wasn't interested only in money but wanted a meaningful relationship. LISTEN TO THE NEW 'CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO' PODCAST Van Zeller and Pickett teamed up with a former hacker who helped them trace the scammer's internet protocol (IP) address. The hacker set a trap designed to lure the impostor into claiming more Bitcoin. The IP address led them to Lagos, Nigeria. They then used Google Earth to identify what they believed was the house from which the scammer had been messaging Pickett. By then, Pickett said she had lost "over $10,000" to the scam. She had fallen so deeply into debt that her home was facing foreclosure. GET BREAKING NEWS BY EMAIL "I was devastated," Pickett said. "By then I was starting to suspect he was fake. But when Mariana got confirmation, it rocked my world. He could have just come clean, but he just took advantage of my kindness. That's what crushed me." Today, Pickett is still rebuilding her finances while working a full-time job. She said the emotional toll has been even harder to overcome, leaving her struggling to trust others. She has also become an advocate for scam victims, using social media to warn others about the dangers of interacting with unverified accounts.

Instead he stepped up to the plate for God Star outfielder Nehemiah Toles had multiple Division-I college baseball offers and MLB scouts watching him as he neared high school graduation, but he turned all of it down in pursuit of his purpose — preaching the Gospel to bring America’s youth to Jesus. "It's the scariest thing to be gifted at something that God did not call you to… Baseball was my passion, it wasn't my purpose," Toles told Fox News Digital. "When I stand before God… and he looks at me, he's gonna say well done, good and faithful servant. How did hitting home runs, how would that have served Him?" he continued. FALCONS ROOKIE ZACHARIAH BRANCH SAYS CHRISTIAN FAITH, DAILY DEVOTIONALS FUEL HIS NFL JOURNEY Toles, who now runs his own ministry traveling across the U.S. to preach the Gospel, grew up in a household with a pastor father transitioning to be an evangelist. Although surrounded by faith in his home, he admits to thinking religion and following God was "corny" during his youth. The former baseball player revealed that he used the sport as a "coping mechanism" while dealing with anxiety and depression that peaked in school during the pandemic of 2020. "From 13 years old to 16 years old… I felt like I struggled to connect with people, struggled to just articulate my thoughts. And so… I went back to church, [and] before I even started worshiping or anything like that, I felt the presence of God just hit me. All my anxiety, all my depression left, and I had tried everything else and nothing else was working," Toles continued. JUST 5 MINUTES OF PRAYER COULD HAVE SURPRISING HEALTH BENEFITS, STUDY FINDS Toles detailed one of his first experiences receiving college offers during a championship game while ranked the top outfielder in the state of Ohio, running to second base chalking up reddish brown dust in the air with the impact of each cleated step, seeing his coach on the phone from under the shadow of his baseball cap, rounding third base and finishing a home run before making it to the dugout. "I'm in the dugout. And [my coach] he's like… before [you] touched home plate, three Division-I coaches had just confirmed," Toles continued. He described the elation on his parents' faces and recalled his father’s tears at the news of the offers from Yale and a handful of other universities, all right before he heard the voice of God later that night alone in his room. LOUISIANA FOOTBALL PHENOM PEYTON HOUSTON CREDITS FAITH, FAMILY FOR HIS REMARKABLE SUCCESS "[In] the hotel room that night and I felt like the Lord had spoke[n] to me, like, 'Is that enough? Was that what you were looking for? Like, is this ever, is it going to be enough?'" he said. Toles described serving at a community event helping children in need shortly after that game, wrestling between both destinies, finding that serving those kids was "something deeper" and "more satisfying" to him than hitting home runs or getting top college offers. "I felt like God was calling me into full-time ministry and so… [During that] exact event, I went back to the green room and I called half of the Division-I coaches and told them I'm not going to come to their college, I'm going full-time into ministry," Toles said.

Toles endured pressure from all sides that eventually led him to question his choice, but when he asked God, he heard his voice clearer than ever. "He made it so evident to me, He [said], obedience to me will always be insanity to the world," Toles said.

U.S. tariffs have hammered the country's steel, aluminum, lumber and automobile producers that depend heavily on the American market. Steel exports have fallen by roughly half since the tariffs took effect, while lumber exports were about 20% below 2024 levels earlier this year, according to the Bank of Canada. Production and jobs have also declined in some of the hardest-hit industries. Canadian families are feeling the squeeze, too. Consumer prices were 3% higher in August than a year earlier, with grocery prices up 2.8% and transportation costs jumping 7.5%, according to the government's own data. A MUST-WIN MIDTERM STATE IS THE REAL LOSER OF TRUMP'S CANADA TRADE WAR Retaliatory tariffs on American products have also added to those costs. Prices of affected goods, which includes groceries, household products, furniture, electronics and appliances, rose roughly 6% more than comparable products that were not hit by the tariffs, according to the country's central bank. But while Canada is feeling the economic pain, the disputes driving Trump's trade fight are not new. "The Trump administration is complaining about dairy access and, generally speaking, those complaints are completely valid," David Clement, North American affairs manager at the Consumer Choice Center, told Fox News Digital. "Canada has exorbitant tariffs on imports from the United States and really from everywhere around the world when it comes to chicken, turkey, eggs, cheese and milk," Clement said. THE OVERLOOKED WAY THE IRAN WAR IS MAKING GROCERIES, AMAZON PACKAGES AND NEW HOMES MORE EXPENSIVE Clement noted, however, that differences between American and European access to Canada's market reflect terms negotiated under separate trade agreements, including the USMCA struck during Trump's first term. But dairy represents just a fraction of the broader U.S.-Canada trading relationship. Scott Lincicome, vice president of general economics at the Cato Institute and the Herbert A. Stiefel Center for Trade Policy Studies, said more than 99% of U.S.-Canada trade was duty-free before 2025, with negotiators historically willing to tolerate disputes over politically sensitive products like dairy to preserve the broader relationship. "The Trump administration has so far refused to make the deal," he said. Lincicome said free trade in products including fertilizer, energy and lumber helps keep costs down for American farmers, homebuilders and consumers. With the midterm elections just weeks away and the cost of living in focus, the trade dispute is unfolding as higher energy prices add another layer of pressure on consumers. Lincicome called the combination a "double whammy." "First you had the tariffs which increased the prices of a lot of products. And then you had energy prices spike because of the Iran war," he said. Higher diesel prices can ripple through the economy because they fuel tractors, trucks and trains, Lincicome said, acting "as kind of another tariff" by raising the cost of getting products to consumers. Despite the escalating tensions, Clement cautioned against allowing the dispute to undermine the broader relationship. "The partnership between Canada and the United States is one of the greatest trading relationships the world has ever known," he said. "That should be embraced. It should be enhanced, and it shouldn't be torn down by either side." Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adc920e11846704b3a7db09 I could have rescued my daughter from disappointment. Here's why I didn't te 2026-10-24T11:10:06.772Z I could have rescued my daughter from disappointment. Here's why I didn't A few weeks ago, my daughter came home from second grade, and she told me she wasn’t invited to her friend Samantha’s birthday party. I asked her if she knew how many kids were invited, and she told me twenty. I was incensed. It was a big party, not a small, exclusive gathering, and my baby was left out. I knew that, in that moment, I could do two things: acknowledge that being left out hurts, or pick up the phone and call Samantha’s mom to secure an invitation. I had to deliberately focus on the former and stop myself from instinctually choosing the latter because, these days, it seems like we are all defaulting to the phone call. The instinct is understandable. We all hate watching our children suffer. But we need to remember that there is a clear difference between supporting our children through disappointment and making sure they never experience it. OUR KIDS AREN’T BROKEN. WE NEED TO STOP TREATING EVERY STRUGGLE LIKE A DISORDER It seems like we have lost our ability to tolerate ordinary childhood struggles. We pathologize and diagnose every negative experience—sadness becomes depression, meanness becomes bullying, and frustration becomes emotional dysregulation. And each unsavory, undesirable part of life becomes an intervention target. Parents feel pressure to act rather than simply let life unfold. But the reality is that life is messy and often uncomfortable, and not every negative emotion is evidence of a problem that requires us to intervene. Emotional discomfort isn’t inherently dangerous, and, in fact, negative experiences can serve important developmental functions. Coping with adversity helps kids recognize what matters to them, adjust expectations, solve problems, and navigate relationships. When we have a myopic focus on protecting children’s mental health, we often forget that mental health is based not on the absence of negative emotions but on our ability to handle them. As parents, we must remember that resilience requires practice, and competence develops through experience. Children build coping skills when they encounter manageable challenges, experiment with solutions, and discover that they can tolerate discomfort. And all this requires the possibility of failure. Children never develop the ability to recover from disappointment if they don’t have the opportunity to feel it. I WORRY LESS ABOUT SCREENS THAN ABOUT THE CHALLENGES TODAY’S TEENS NEVER FACE Parents have a key role to play in the development of self-efficacy. We communicate our expectations about what they can do. When we give our children space to learn and grow, we communicate that they can handle challenges on their own. On the flip side, when we repeatedly intervene to solve their problems, we send the message that they can’t do it without us. It’s impossible to teach kids to swim by keeping them out of the water! Constantly rescuing our kids has three unintended consequences. First, it undermines self-efficacy. Children look to adults to solve problems rather than trusting themselves and discovering their own resourcefulness. Second, it reinforces avoidance. Children learn that unpleasant emotions are intolerable rather than temporary experiences that they can manage. Third, it creates unrealistic expectations. Children learn to expect the world to accommodate their preferences rather than learning to manage unfairness, frustration, rejection, and disappointment. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION Of course, children often need support. Removing demands may, at times, be necessary. But when we reflexively remove demands instead of helping children develop the capacity to navigate them, we prioritize short-term relief over long-term growth. We must deliberately support our children without constantly rescuing them. First, we should validate the feeling without catastrophizing it. Acknowledge the disappointment, but don’t amplify it into a crisis. Second, resist the urge to solve the problem. Before intervening, ask whether it is something your child can reasonably navigate independently. Third, help your child develop their own solutions. You can ask them what they could do next or what they might try differently next time, but remember that sometimes the best intervention is no intervention at all. Sometimes children just need time to feel bad and move on. When I think about my own daughter and that birthday party, I wonder if maybe this will give her the opportunity and motivation to make a new friend. Maybe she’ll learn to cope with exclusion. Maybe she’ll just feel bummed for the afternoon and move on. All are developmentally meaningful (and desirable) outcomes. And I remember that my job isn’t to eliminate adversity and disappointment; it’s to help her become a person who can handle the struggles that are inevitably part of life. I don’t want to raise someone who never falls down; I want to raise someone who knows how to get back up. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM DR.

But one Philadelphia woman decided she wasn't moving. She stood directly in front of an Uber Eats delivery robot, refusing to let it continue. Police eventually arrived, and the 78-year-old retired professor ended up in handcuffs. Her protest has now sparked a much bigger conversation about robots taking over human jobs and how much space these machines should get on our sidewalks.

WORKERS ERUPT OVER DC PLAN TO BRING ROBOTAXIS TO CITY STREETS: ‘THIS IS BULLS---’ On Oct. 14, Carolyn Marvin, a retired University of Pennsylvania professor, was leaving a flu shot appointment in Center City Philadelphia when she spotted an Uber Eats delivery robot. Instead of stepping aside, she positioned herself in front of the machine near Reading Terminal Market on Filbert Street. Police reportedly responded after witnesses reported a disturbance. Officers said Marvin repeatedly refused instructions to move out of the robot's path. They eventually arrested her and issued her a disorderly conduct citation. The encounter was captured on video and quickly attracted attention online. However, Marvin wasn't surprised by the attention. She had been deliberately blocking delivery robots for months, turning what might look like a strange sidewalk encounter into her own form of public protest. In an interview with PhillyVoice, Marvin explained that she believes corporations are using autonomous machines to displace human delivery workers. She argued that her actions fall under her First Amendment right to protest. Marvin was taken to police headquarters and later released. She said she plans to fight the citation in court and continue blocking delivery robots when she has the opportunity. She also encouraged others who oppose the machines to join her protests. Marvin's frustration goes beyond having robots share the sidewalk. She sees them as a direct threat to people who earn their living delivering food. Every order completed by a robot represents work that potentially could have gone to a human courier. That concern comes as more delivery companies experiment with automation to reduce operating costs. Unlike a human courier, a robot doesn't collect tips or earn money for each delivery. Companies hope automation will eventually reduce operating costs, although the machines still require maintenance and monitoring. However, whether Philadelphia's robot program has actually eliminated delivery jobs remains unclear. Uber has previously said its robots are intended to complement human delivery workers rather than replace them. Still, it's easy to understand why people who depend on delivery income might question how that arrangement will work as fleets expand. Marvin also sees her protests as an opportunity to engage other pedestrians. She says people regularly stop to ask why she's blocking the machines. Those conversations are part of what motivates her to continue, even after her arrest. You might assume that Marvin's arrest means delivery robots have the right of way on Philadelphia sidewalks. But Pennsylvania law offers a rather different answer. The state's vehicle code classifies personal delivery devices as pedestrians and generally requires them to follow pedestrian traffic rules. However, the robots must yield the right-of-way or safely navigate around pedestrians and cyclists in pedestrian areas. That's an important detail. A delivery robot does not automatically have priority over someone walking down the sidewalk. Of course, requiring robots to yield does not necessarily give people the legal right to deliberately obstruct deliveries. Police say Marvin refused repeated instructions to move after officers responded to a disturbance. Her disorderly conduct charge does not establish that robots have priority over pedestrians or settle whether her particular protest was legally protected. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania law requires operators to notify municipalities at least 30 days before beginning delivery robot operations. Municipal officials can also prohibit the machines in areas where, after consulting the operator, they determine the robots would pose a hazard. That leaves an interesting question about how cities should handle future confrontations between pedestrians and commercial robots. FOOD DELIVERY FAVORITE FORCED TO FORK OVER MILLIONS AFTER DOJ ALLEGED DISCRIMINATION AGAINST AMERICAN WORKERS Despite the controversy, companies continue investing in autonomous delivery because the technology offers some practical advantages. Uber Eats partnered with robotics company Avride to operate small, four-wheeled delivery machines that transport food over relatively short distances. The robots use cameras and sensors to navigate city streets. According to Avride, they travel at speeds of up to 5 mph and can carry up to 55 pounds of food or other goods. The service launched in Philadelphia in March 2026. These robots can complete short deliveries without sending another car through traffic or requiring a courier to find parking. For customers, the convenience is obvious. Your food arrives inside a secure compartment that you unlock through the Uber Eats app. In Philadelphia, customers can reportedly opt out of robot delivery. However, availability and delivery options depend on the order and service area. And the rollout is expanding. On Oct. 21, Avride announced an expansion of robot delivery in Philadelphia involving Wonder's Rittenhouse location and additional restaurants on the Grubhub platform. Robot delivery is now available from 25 Wonder restaurant concepts at the Rittenhouse location, with nine additional restaurants on Grubhub also participating. The company has not said whether the expansion will require more robots on Philadelphia sidewalks or whether its existing fleet will handle the additional orders. Philadelphia's confrontation comes amid growing frustration with autonomous machines operating in public spaces. In September, we reported on a robot traffic jam in Chicago, where at least a dozen Coco delivery robots clustered along a sidewalk. The company blamed a deployment error and said it corrected the problem. The incident raised concerns about pedestrian accessibility, particularly for people who use wheelchairs or mobility aids. A blocked sidewalk can create a serious obstacle for someone who cannot easily move into the street or squeeze past a machine. Philadelphia has experienced its own robot mishaps. In April, a woman reported that an Uber Eats delivery robot bumped into her from behind near 15th and Locust streets. Li Gordon-Washington reportedly suffered a scratch and later struggled to determine which agency should handle her complaint. Avride acknowledged that its robot made minor contact with her while completing a turn. These incidents help explain why some residents are losing patience. While the machines may be designed to navigate around people, they still have to handle unpredictable human behavior and crowded public spaces. Delivery robots may soon become a familiar part of your neighborhood, especially if you live near busy restaurants or shopping districts. You could find yourself sharing sidewalk space with machines carrying someone else's dinner. That raises practical questions about safety and accessibility, along with concerns about jobs. If you encounter a robot blocking a curb ramp or creating a hazard, keep your distance and report the problem to the operator or local authorities. In Pennsylvania, delivery robots must display operator identification and contact information. Documenting the location and the robot's identification number can help officials investigate a complaint. There's also an opportunity for residents to get involved before delivery robot programs expand. Local governments can evaluate where these machines operate and whether particular routes create safety hazards. Paying attention to those decisions gives communities a chance to have a say in how their sidewalks are used. For people whose livelihoods depend on deliveries, the questions run deeper. They deserve clear information about how companies plan to use automation and what that could mean for future work opportunities. I've covered plenty of robots that can do impressive things, and I can appreciate the technology behind these delivery machines. But I never expected to see a 78-year-old retired professor arrested after refusing to let one deliver somebody's lunch. What really caught my attention was Pennsylvania's law requiring robots to yield to pedestrians. That makes the confrontation even more thought-provoking. I understand why police would respond when a public dispute escalates, and I certainly wouldn't encourage anyone to interfere with a delivery. At the same time, I understand Marvin's frustration. We're watching companies introduce machines that can perform work people have traditionally been paid to do, and we still don't have clear answers about how many jobs could eventually disappear. I think companies introducing this technology need to be much more transparent about its impact on workers. And when they want to operate on public sidewalks, residents deserve a genuine say in how that happens. I hope this incident encourages a serious conversation about those issues before another confrontation ends with someone in handcuffs. If delivery robots make food delivery more convenient but eventually cost human workers their jobs, should cities still allow them to operate on public sidewalks?

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adc865a11846704b3a7d8b5 Minnesota candidate ‘stress tests’ state’s new fraud law — what she found raised major red flags te 2026-10-24T10:20:10.723Z Minnesota candidate ‘stress tests’ state’s new fraud law — what she found raised major red flags A Minnesota state Senate candidate revealed she found several vulnerabilities in a fraud prevention law signed by Gov. Tim Walz after testing it against the state’s previous fraud scandals to see whether it could have caught them sooner. The measure in question, the Office of the Inspector General law, creates an independent statewide watchdog that oversees inspectors general, investigates alleged fraud across state programs, establishes fraud prevention standards, and improves coordination and data sharing. However, Heidi Heino, the Republican candidate for Minnesota’s 36th Senate District, told Fox News Digital her test against the Feeding Our Future scheme and other past fraud cases found the law lacks extra safeguards when potential risks emerge. "When I stress tested against Feeding Our Future and some of the other fraud schemes that we had in Minnesota, it would have found the fraud eventually, but it's way after the money was already gone and we would still be stuck trying to claw it back," Heino said. MINNESOTA MAN CAPTURED IN SOMALIA AFTER ALLEGEDLY HELPING ORCHESTRATE $250M CHILD NUTRITION FRAUD SCHEME The law was passed as Minnesota faces the fallout from massive fraud schemes involving childcare, autism, housing and disability services. Republicans have blamed leadership and oversight failures, while the Trump administration launched a federal anti-fraud task force led by Vice President JD Vance. Working as a corporate leader whose day job involves underwriting, Heino said she used similar review and auditing practices to test where Minnesota’s fraud safeguards fell short. "Business does a lot with a little," she said. "Government does the opposite. They do a little with a lot of resources." Heino said she used a 2,800% increase in payments to Feeding Our Future from 2020 to 2021 in her test, a jump that should have automatically raised alarm bells and led to further review. The scheme alone allegedly stole $250 million from a federally funded child nutrition program during the COVID-19 pandemic. FRAUD EXPERT EXPOSES HOW HIDDEN NETWORKS DROVE MINNESOTA FRAUD, OTHER MAJOR SCAMS: 'CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE' "You don't have to be a detective to see that there's some issue there and so to investigate that and check and see if those claims are legitimate, and if they were legitimate, have someone actually sign off on it," she said, adding that filling out extra paperwork may be frustrating but can help prevent fraud in the long run. Heino also argued Feeding Our Future should not have been allowed to address complaints against itself. "We had 30 complaints to the Minnesota Department of Education regarding the fraud and they are mostly overlooked or Feeding Our Future had to go correct itself and that was a huge gap there," she said. She proposed immediately freezing payments, conducting a full review, and triggering an outside audit. "The OIG has good bones, but it needs teeth," she said. Without independent audits, Heino said Minnesota will not be able to uncover fraud-related gaps, saying the additional oversight would save more money than it costs. GOP ACCUSES WALZ ALLIES OF BURYING $52M MEDICAID FRAUD REPORT BEFORE ELECTION "We get a lot of pushback saying this is going to be expensive, but is it?" she said. "It will be less expensive to have an independent audit than it is going to be to have all the fraud and lose taxpayer dollars to fraudulent activities." Those same issues apply to current state programs like Minnesota’s Paid Leave program, according to Heino. "However, we need to rein it in and have more investigation before we start sending out the checks, especially with paid family leave," she said. "They pay out before they have the doctor's note certifying that this is actually true and they have verified it." She acknowledged that the law is a "great first step" toward addressing the problem but said it does not go far enough to protect taxpayers and prevent future fraud. As a mother, grandmother and taxpayer, Heino said she is fed up with how leaders in her home state have handled fraud, adding the problem has gotten so bad that Minnesota has become the "laughing stock of the nation" and people no longer want to say they are from the state anymore. "We need to funnel those resources to the people that actually need them and keep people committing fraud from taking our money and running away with it, buying luxury condos or homes, and then funneling it out of the country," she said. Fox News Digital reached out to Walz's office and the Minnesota Department of Education for comment. "We have not slowed down, there is no sense in which the fraud has been stopped in Minnesota," Bill Glahn, a policy fellow at the Center of the American Experiment, told Fox News Digital in August, making the case that the fraud situation in the state has not been properly addressed.

Angie, along with Shawn, whose sister Amy was among four girls killed in the attack, have joined former prosecutors Mindy Montford and Anne Marie Schubert to establish the National Cold Case Center. The decades-long search for answers in Amy’s case inspired the couple to help establish the nonprofit, which helps to fund unsolved homicide investigations, train investigators and support victims’ families. FORENSIC GENEALOGY UNMASKS COLD CASE SUSPECT AS STRANGLER, SEXUAL PREDATOR DECADES LATER: OFFICIALS "Due to what we've gone through and seen, not only from our own experience, but from listening to other families struggle throughout this process," Angie told Fox News Digital. "Years ago, we had wanted to start a nonprofit." Amy, Jennifer Harbison and Eliza Thomas, both 17, and Jennifer’s sister, Sarah Harbison, 15, died in the attack at the I Can’t Believe It’s Yogurt! shop on West Anderson Lane on Dec. 6, 1991. On the night of the killings, Jennifer and Eliza were working the closing shift, while Sarah and Amy waited for them to finish so the four could head to a sleepover. Shortly before midnight, authorities received a report of a fire at the shop. The blaze and water from the sprinklers altered the crime scene and diluted evidence, according to FBI files. Inside, police discovered Sarah, Eliza and Jennifer stacked together in the shop’s storage room. They were stripped, gagged and bound with their own undergarments, and then shot in the back of the head with .22-caliber bullets. Investigators found Amy in a separate area with a ligature around her neck and burns covering up to 30% of her body, according to court documents. DNA FROM CHEWING GUM NAILS LONGTIME SEXUAL PREDATOR DECADES AFTER REIGN OF TERROR: REPORT FBI records described two gunshot wounds: an initial .22-caliber shot that missed Amy’s brain and a second shot from a .380-caliber pistol through her cheek and jawline. Investigators recovered a .380 cartridge casing in a floor drain. During the autopsy, officials recovered four .22-caliber bullets from the bodies. The search for answers stretched across decades, combined with false confessions, arrests, convictions and appeals before DNA and ballistics evidence identified serial killer Robert Eugene Brashers in September 2025. Brashers fatally shot himself during a January 1999 police standoff in Missouri, leaving the families no chance to confront him at a murder trial. CALIFORNIA AUTHORITIES IDENTIFY FINAL UNKNOWN VICTIM OF ‘HAPPY FACE KILLER’ KEITH JESPERSON AFTER 34 YEARS Authorities had previously connected him to other violent crimes, including killings in South Carolina and Missouri. According to Austin police, Brashers used the same .380-caliber handgun in the yogurt shop murders to kill himself during the Missouri standoff. For the Ayers family, identifying Brashers didn’t answer whether someone else participated in the yogurt shop killings. Angie questioned whether another perpetrator may have been involved, since two weapons were used during the attacks. "I may be incorrect, but I don't think that I am," Angie told Fox News Digital. "There's never been an instance where he [Brashers] used both of those guns in his other cases." DETECTIVES' TRUE CRIME PODCAST TAKES FRESH SHOT AT KILLER WHO VANISHED AFTER CAUGHT-ON-CAMERA MURDER "There has been absolutely no definite answer on whether or not he was by himself, or had an accomplice. "So, to us, we still don't have all the answers, and knowing that this case is still ongoing, I don't think anyone can say that they know exactly what happened because we can't ask." Years before identifying Brashers, Austin investigators focused on four local teens: Robert Springsteen, Michael Scott, Maurice Pierce and Forrest Welborn. Austin police arrested all four in 1999. Springsteen and Scott confessed during police questioning but recanted before trial, saying investigators pressured them into giving false statements. Travis County juries convicted Springsteen of capital murder in 2001 and Scott in 2002. Springsteen received a death sentence, while Scott received life in prison. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals overturned Springsteen’s conviction in 2006 and Scott’s in 2007. DNA testing failed to match any of the men to the crime scene. A judge released Springsteen and Scott in June 2009, and prosecutors moved to dismiss the charges that October. Pierce proclaimed innocence but implicated Welborn. In 1991, he wore a police wire and tried to coax Welborn into confessing. An Austin police officer reported that Welborn denied any involvement. Welborn later passed a polygraph test. Welborn never went to trial. When two grand juries failed to indict him, authorities dropped the case against him in 2000. By then, he had spent months behind bars. "I’m still really upset and mad at them. If they didn’t confess to something they didn’t do, we wouldn’t be here right now doing this today," Welborn told Texas Monthly. Austin police officers arrested Pierce in 1999 on capital murder charges. Prosecutors dismissed Pierce’s charges in 2003, citing insufficient evidence, after he spent more than three years in jail. In 2010, an Austin police officer fatally shot Pierce in 2010 following a traffic stop. Pierce fled the scene on foot and stabbed an officer in the neck with a knife, prompting authorities to open fire. After investigators linked Brashers to the killings, Travis County Judge Dayna Blazey declared the four men innocent on Feb. 19, 2026. Months later, the Austin City Council approved a $35 million settlement covering the three surviving men and Pierce’s family. Welborn initially rejected the city’s apology, saying that he lost an auto-repair business while incarcerated and endured years of public ostracism. "Their apology is not accepted," he told Texas Monthly. "Their apology means nothing to me." Welborn later said "it felt good" to have closure, although he wanted some of the detectives who worked the case "to go do some prison time." None of the detectives have faced criminal charges in the case, Texas Monthly reported. The Ayers couple said neither they nor the men or their relatives have contacted the other side. "We haven't reached out and they have not reached out," Angie said. Welborn could not immediately be reached for comment. The Austin Police Department and Travis County District Attorney’s Office did not respond to requests for comment by publication.

A case in point is Rep. Ilhan Omar. She is suspected of hatching a series of epic deceptions about her identity, lineage, birthdate, marriage, and citizenship status. An investigation by federal authorities culminated in a recent search of her home that was authorized by a judicial warrant. On the same day, multiple other search warrants were executed in different locations, according to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullen. DNA evidence was reportedly obtained. Her computer devices, document files, cell phones, and notebooks were seized. More than a dozen grand jury subpoenas were allegedly served on Omar’s family, including her sister. ILHAN OMAR IS NOT THE MINNESOTA CONGRESSWOMAN’S 'REAL NAME': SOURCES Omar has not been indicted. Yet. She denies all wrongdoing, asserting that she is a victim of a politically driven vendetta by the Trump administration. Let’s examine that. The warrant on Omar’s home was approved by a Democratic judge in the District of Columbia, a venue with a long and conspicuous hostility toward Trump and anyone in his orbit. It is reasonable to conclude, therefore, that the feds must have presented substantial incriminating evidence to justify the signed order, especially against a sitting member of Congress from the judge’s own party and just weeks before an important election. Yes, the threshold of probable cause for a warrant is lower than the trial standard of "beyond a reasonable doubt." But the judge’s decision was not nothing. He was persuaded by compelling evidence of criminality. Apparently, he spent hours examining the merits of the warrant application. Action was taken lest evidence be destroyed. ILHAN OMAR'S TURBULENT WEEK EXPLAINED: THE DUELING PROBES THAT THREW THE SOMALI-BORN PROGRESSIVE INTO CHAOS While the specifics of the investigation remain unclear, we are acquainted with the general parameters. They pose troubling questions. Is Ilhan Omar the person she purports to be? Was her immigration to the U.S. secured through falsehoods? Was her citizenship obtained validly or through lies? Are the rumors true that Omar engaged in a sham marriage to her brother in a scheme to obtain immigration benefits for him? FEDERAL AGENTS SEIZE PHONE OF REP ILHAN OMAR IN RAID TIED TO IMMIGRATION FRAUD PROBE As always, the answers depend on the reliability of the evidence collected and the credibility of witnesses. With that caveat, here are the various criminal and civil charges that might ensue. —If Omar lied about her birthdate on immigration or citizenship forms, that constitutes false statements (18 U.S.C. § 1001) and criminal fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1425). The latter carries a maximum punishment of 10 years in prison. —If she willfully repeated the inaccurate birthdate on other official forms, that’s more false statements and criminal fraud. —If she enlisted others to help her enter a false birthdate, that’s a conspiracy to commit fraud. REP ILHAN OMAR'S IMMIGRATION HISTORY FACES NEW SCRUTINY AS FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS SUBPOENA RELATIVES —If she worked with others to cover up the fraud, that’s an additional criminal conspiracy (18 U.S.C. §§ 371 or 1349), aiding and abetting (18 U.S.C. § 2), and obstruction of justice (18 U.S.C. §§ 1505 and 1519). —If Omar misrepresented that she was a minor when she obtained derivative citizenship from her father, the fraud nullifies her citizenship. —If her father lied to obtain citizenship, the original fraud could invalidate her derivative citizenship. —If her father never actually obtained citizenship, then Omar’s citizenship is likely invalid. ILHAN OMAR DOUBLES DOWN ON ‘REAL NAME’ WHEN CONFRONTED AT MALL OF SOMALIA —If Omar used a false identity on immigration forms and any other government forms such as passport applications, that is criminal identity fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1028) and false statements. —If she knowingly married her sibling, it is illegal and considered a crime in all 50 states. If any of the above scenarios can be proven by the government, Omar would not only be susceptible to criminal charges and other civil actions, but she could face denaturalization, removal proceedings, and eventual deportation. Omar’s troubles are compounded by a separate criminal investigation into the sharp fluctuations in her finances. It was launched by the U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C. How exactly did the congresswoman and her current husband, political consultant Tim Mynett, go from almost no assets to as much as $30 million in a single year? When the information on her congressional disclosure became public and alarming questions arose, Omar revised the figures to reflect what could be a negative net worth. That’s quite the financial whiplash. She blamed it on an accounting mistake. Just a goof. But tens of millions of dollars is hardly a simple rounding error. In the annals of financial slip-ups, it’s a whopper. If you or I did that, government auditors would be knocking at the door. COULD TRUMP REVOKE ILHAN OMAR'S CITIZENSHIP FOR ALLEGED BROTHER MARRIAGE? EX FEDERAL PROSECUTOR BREAKS IT DOWN Omar continually dismisses the controversy as nothing more than politically motivated attacks. But that dubious deflection conveniently ignores that it was the Biden administration that initiated the investigation. Of course, Omar enjoys the presumption of innocence should any charges arise. But there are unsettling aspects to the story she tells. In a recent television interview on MS NOW, she was asked if she married her brother. Her reply was jaw-dropping, albeit revealing. "Not to my knowledge," she said. Wait…she didn’t say "no"? Or "absolutely not?" Think for a moment about her response. It is not an unqualified denial, but a bewildering equivocation that could mean, "If he is my brother, I don’t really know it." It’s called the ignorance defense. It creates the prospect that she may, indeed, have unknowingly married her brother. HOMAN SAYS ILHAN OMAR COULD BE STRIPPED OF NATURALIZATION, DEPORTED IF IMMIGRATION FRAUD IS PROVEN It appears that Omar was coached by a lawyer to avoid a direct false statement by waffling instead. But that will not protect her if it can be shown that she did have knowledge. It places her in legal jeopardy, as noted above. Persistent rumors about a sham marriage for immigration benefits also connect to questions about the congresswoman’s identity. Fox News reported that Ilhan Omar is not her real name, according to two people familiar with the ongoing investigation, including a law enforcement source. MIKE DAVIS: JUSTICE DEPARTMENT MUST BE WRAPPING UP REP. ILHAN OMAR'S CHRISTMAS PRESENT Her real name is identified in a new court filing by the U.S. attorney in D.C. It refers to her as "Congresswoman Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar." This indicates that the government believes that "Omar" has been living her life under an alias and that her real birth name has the same surname as her alleged brother-husband. Perhaps there’s an explanation. Maybe Omar adopted the surname of her former husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, when she married him in 2009. That seems reasonable except that Omar’s late father also went by the name Nur Said Elmi, according to an examination of documents by the New York Post. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION Establishing Omar’s true identity and whether she might have once married her brother probably explains why investigators were so interested in obtaining DNA. Genetic science is the closest thing we have to absolute certainty. It’s the ultimate eyewitness. It doesn’t lie. There is a popular biological proverb that seems felicitous in the Ilhan Omar case: "You can hide your past, you can alter your name, but your DNA will always whisper the truth of who you are." Who is Ilhan Omar? We may soon find out.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued the order late Friday after the DOJ filed an emergency request earlier in the day seeking a ruling by Saturday. The Justice Department sought emergency relief from the appeals court after U.S. District Judge David Carter did not rule by a deadline previously requested by the department. The DOJ is asking California election officials to set aside ballots associated with individuals on its list while their eligibility is reviewed, rather than allowing the ballots to be processed alongside other votes. DOJ GIVES CALIFORNIA 48 HOURS TO REVIEW LIST OF POSSIBLE NONCITIZENS ON VOTER ROLLS In its emergency filing, the DOJ emphasized the urgency of its request. "This is an emergency," the filing, submitted by Attorney General Todd Blanche and First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli, stated. "Every minute of processing that occurs without segregating the ballots of suspected non-eligible voters causes untraceable disenfranchisement and dilution of the votes of United States citizens," the filing continued. Despite the Ninth Circuit's order, a hearing before Judge Carter remains scheduled for Tuesday, according to Fox News' Matt Finn. It remains unclear whether the appeals court will rule before that hearing. BLANCHE WON'T RULE OUT DOJ BLOCKING ELECTION CERTIFICATION IN 'DOOMSDAY' SCENARIO Essayli previously told Fox News Digital that federal investigators have evidence showing the 20,000 individuals received mail-in ballots in October. His office sued California last week seeking a court order to prevent ballots returned by those individuals from being counted. "We're not asking California to take any drastic steps other than to sequester the ballots from the suspected noncitizens," Essayli said in an interview Wednesday. "We believe it's at a minimum of 20,000. That's the floor." Essayli also clashed with California Gov. Gavin Newsom on social media this week over the state's safeguards against noncitizen voting. Essayli accused California of allowing noncitizens onto its voter rolls because of what he described as inadequate citizenship verification procedures, while Newsom defended the integrity of the state's elections and maintained that California was following the law. ‘RAW MATERIAL FOR ELECTION FRAUD’: EXPERT FLAGS VOTER-ROLL PROBLEMS FAR BEYOND ONE STATE California election officials have rejected the Justice Department's demands. In court filings, they argued that county election offices lack both the authority and access to federal records needed to verify voters' citizenship status. They also said separating ballots associated with people on the DOJ's list would be impossible in cases where the ballots have already been processed. California officials say that once a mail-in ballot's signature has been verified, the ballot is separated from its identifying envelope and processed with other ballots. According to court records, officials have already processed 331,000 ballots in Los Angeles County alone. Friday's escalation comes after Essayli's office initially filed the suit Oct. 15, roughly two weeks after California began mailing ballots.

The shift is evident across the party's top ranks following the indictment of Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L. Louise Lucas. Lieutenant Gov. Ghazala Hashmi, who rejected Republican claims that Trump was being selectively prosecuted after his 2023 classified-documents indictment, is now stressing Lucas' "constitutional presumption of innocence" and arguing Lucas "is fully entitled to legal due process." Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones, who said last year that Trump tried to "incite a riot" and "overturn an election," says the allegations against Lucas must be tested through a legal process "free from political interference or bias." Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Va., likewise joined Sens. Mark Warner and Tim Kaine in declaring that "those charged with crime are innocent until proven guilty" and questioning the Justice Department's motivations — years after Scott said during Trump's first impeachment that "the facts are uncontested," called his conduct a "gross abuse of presidential power" and declared that "no one is above the law." Trump was later acquitted by the Senate. POWERFUL DEM’S JABS AT TRUMP COME BACK TO HAUNT HER AFTER OFFICE RAIDED BY FBI: ‘AGED WELL’ Gov. Abigail Spanberger, meanwhile, is stressing Lucas' presumption of innocence after calling congressional defenses of Trump's handling of classified documents "deeply detrimental to our national security" days after his 2023 indictment in a case that was ultimately dismissed without a trial. Lucas, who also chairs the powerful Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee, was indicted alongside six others in what federal prosecutors allege was a years-long criminal enterprise involving marijuana distribution, money laundering, bribery and fraud. She has denied wrongdoing, and an indictment does not establish guilt. The investigation that ultimately produced the charges began during the Biden administration, according to multiple reports. The contrasting rhetoric extends beyond individual officeholders. The Democratic Party of Virginia (DPVA) declared Trump had been "rightfully indicted" and that "no one is above the law" immediately after a Manhattan grand jury indicted him in March 2023 — more than a year before a jury heard the case. The party had also criticized Republican claims that federal law enforcement was being politically "weaponized" against Trump during the classified-documents investigation. Lucas currently serves as a DPVA vice chair. TOP SPANBERGER ALLY TARGETED IN FBI CORRUPTION PROBE HAS LONG HISTORY OF CONTROVERSY Rep. Suhas Subramanyam, D-Va., was the only Democrat contacted by Fox News Digital who responded to questions about the contrast between his past rhetoric about Trump and his current rhetoric about Lucas, rejecting the suggestion that his positions were inconsistent while accusing federal law enforcement of politically timing Lucas' arrest. "It doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or Republican, the American people deserve answers and accountability from everyone," Subramanyam told Fox News Digital. Subramanyam called the charges against Lucas "serious," adding that "she should face justice if they are true," while alleging that "the DOJ and FBI timed this arrest for two weeks before the election for political reasons." "Trump has a pattern of targeting political opponents and weaponizing the DOJ, and he has spent his second presidency covering up the Epstein files," Subramanyam said. "It took Congress forcing the administration's hand to even get a fraction of the full files released." VIRGINIA DEMS SPLIT ON DOJ PROBE OF SOROS-BACKED DA ACCUSED OF GIVING 'SWEETHEART DEALS' TO ILLEGAL ALIENS The federal investigation that produced Lucas' indictment, however, predates Trump's second administration. The Washington Post, CBS News and The Associated Press reported after federal searches in May, citing anonymous sources familiar with the investigation, that the probe began during the Biden administration. U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche reiterated that the investigation began years ago and rejected allegations of political retaliation. "We don't do political paybacks," Blanche said. Federal prosecutors allege Lucas led a criminal enterprise involving relatives and associates that distributed marijuana and laundered proceeds while she used her political position to protect the operation and influence legislation that could financially benefit it. The indictment alleges Lucas and her co-defendants were involved in distributing at least 100 kilograms of marijuana, while FBI Director Kash Patel said the alleged scheme generated roughly $4.5 million. Lucas has denied wrongdoing and accused the federal government of trying to silence her. SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER "Today, the FBI, the Department of Justice, and the full weight of the federal government have been wielded against an 82-year-old great-grandmother," Lucas said after surrendering to authorities. "I grew up under Jim Crow. I've seen what happens when people in power try to silence those who stand up to them." "I will not be bullied," she added. "And I will not back down."

The memo, sent Friday to Secretary of State Marco Rubio by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, comes just days after the State Department ordered non-emergency U.S. government employees and their family members to leave Saudi Arabia due to escalating attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels. U.S. officials confirmed the authenticity of the unclassified intelligence memo, which was first reported by Axios. "Specifically, through various channels, we have received intelligence that Iran has substantially increased efforts to target U.S. personnel," the memo states. 'KEEP A LOW PROFILE': STATE DEPARTMENT WARNS AMERICANS OVERSEAS THEY COULD BE TARGETED "The lethal plotting efforts by the Iranians against U.S. citizens have reached advanced stages in both the Middle East and certain other countries," the memo continues. The memo also states that intelligence officials will work to downgrade the classification of certain intelligence so it can be disseminated and shared with State Department personnel. A U.S. official told Fox News Digital that the government continually monitors and evaluates evolving security threats. "When it comes to our staffing at embassies, we constantly evaluate new information about the security environment," the official said. "The threat of Houthi attacks and of Iranian terror plots targeting U.S. officials are informing our decisions on staffing adjustments for embassies on RO Status in the region." US PULLS PERSONNEL FROM SAUDI ARABIA AS KINGDOM COMES UNDER HOUTHI FIRE The intelligence report on Iranian efforts to target U.S. diplomats and officials in the Middle East also comes as President Donald Trump continues to weigh another round of military strikes against Iran if Tehran does not reach an agreement with Washington. Earlier this week, the State Department addressed reports that it directed nonessential government personnel and their dependents to leave the entire Gulf region, clarifying that the departure order applies only to Saudi Arabia. State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said that any claims of a potential broader regional shutdown were "inaccurate." AMERICANS WARNED AGAIN TO RETHINK TRAVEL AS MISSILE ATTACK RATTLES HISTORIC REGION "The U.S. Department of State issued an ordered departure for non-emergency U.S. government employees and their family members in Saudi Arabia," the department said. The State Department previously renewed its warning to Americans traveling in and through the Middle East in late September. The latest warning came as Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched several missile attacks toward Saudi Arabia. Fox News Digital's Jessica Mekles and Fox News' Nick Kalman contributed to this report. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adc67dd11846704b3a7cd9f A New England city was transformed by refugees – now it faces a youth gun violence crisis: 'Fear for my life' te 2026-10-24T08:10:05.764Z A New England city was transformed by refugees – now it faces a youth gun violence crisis: 'Fear for my life' LEWISTON, Maine - A New England city transformed by an influx of refugees and immigrants is now grappling with a youth gun-violence crisis, as police report 35 gun-related incidents this year, 22 involving juveniles. "I don’t feel safe. I fear for my life," Mohamed Muhumed, a Lewiston teenager, told Fox News Digital. "I saw someone get punched in the middle of the sidewalk over there. It’s crazy." The city, Maine's second most populous city and home to a large population of refugees from Somali and other African nations, is experiencing a serious youth gun violence problem. Lewiston Police Chief Carly Conley called the gun violence "one of the most serious public safety challenges" facing the city. EXPLOSIVE SLEEPER ISSUE RAGING IN THIS MAINE CITY COULD FUEL MIDTERM SHAKEUPS Jon Fetherston, a reporter for the conservative-leaning The Maine Wire who has reported extensively on the issue, told Fox News Digital that "the gun violence in Lewiston is very concerning. The majority... has been committed by teenagers... Multiple times teenagers have been arrested and immediately released by the courts back out on the streets." "The court systems are being tapped. The DA is frustrated that the courts aren't putting these kids away in jail... Residents are scared. Residents are very, very frustrated, and you've got kids shooting kids, and it's almost become commonplace here in Lewiston," Fetherston said. City officials have responded by approving $200,000 in additional police overtime funding to expand patrols and enforcement. They have also urged changes to Maine’s juvenile justice system, including more options for handling repeat violent offenders and greater scrutiny before high-risk juveniles are released. Mayor Carl Sheline said in a statement last month that the increased resources are "sending a strong message to those perpetrating gun violence: we will find you." But he added, "Parental involvement and accountability are key to reducing youth gun violence in our city." MAINE NONPROFIT WITH SOMALI TIES LOSING STATE FUNDING Republican Rick LaChapelle, a former city council president who is now running for mayor, told Fox News Digital, "Our biggest problem is the system itself. The police department is doing an excellent job catching these people. We have one young man that's been arrested 5 times, I believe, for the same thing. He gets arrested, gets brought down to the youth center… gets released." "It's been a one-party rule forever that has instilled the rules that there's no accountability," LaChapelle argued. "We need to change the rules of the system." Fox News Digital reached out to Sheline to discuss his efforts on combating the gun violence, but the mayor didn't respond by the time this story was published. No official city or police data indicates that Somali residents as a group are behind the violence, or establishes a connection to the increase. But LaChapelle said, "That seems to be who's being arrested right now." Mohamed Adbei, a teenager who spoke with Fox News Digital on the streets of Lewiston, pushed back on any ethnic connection: "I wouldn't just say it's the Somali kids. It's youth in general." Ifraax Saciid, a Somali native who lived in Atlanta before moving to Lewiston, agreed. SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER "No, that's not the root cause. I think the root cause is poverty here in Lewiston. Lewiston is very poor and is economically not in a good state," she said when asked if there was a direct connection to the Somali community. "I think what's happening here is happening everywhere. It's happening in Atlanta. I have lived in Miami and Ohio and Kentucky and Minnesota and have seen what is happening in those states also happening here in Lewiston. It's nothing new." Lewiston has also been an epicenter in recent years for fraud scandals involving Maine's joint federal and state Medicaid program. Saciid emphasized that "fraud is happening everywhere in the United States and with every skin color, with every class. It's not tied particularly to one people." The Somali influx to Lewiston began a quarter century ago, when refugees and secondary migrants started relocating to the former mill city along the Androscoggin River in search of safe neighborhoods and affordable housing. DEMOCRACY ’26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB Then-Mayor Larry Raymond drew national attention in 2002 after asking Somali leaders to discourage additional migration to Lewiston, arguing the rapid influx was straining city resources. Fast-forward to present day and Lewiston has one of the highest per capita Muslim populations in the country, most of it Somali along with refugees from other African nations. Fetherston argued that "history has proven him [Raymond] to be correct that... that it was too much too fast because a lot has changed in Lewiston. And things are not working out in Lewiston." LaChapelle noted, "I'm a French Canadian, so my ancestors came here.... We need legal immigration in America. We need to grow." But he added, "We just have to do it logically and legally and in. When my ancestors got here, there wasn't a free... gravy train all the way down. Now we're supporting everybody. We have for 30 years, we still have some people that are still on the welfare system 30 years later. That has to change."

The move resolves a dispute with Attorney General Kris Mayes over the voters’ eligibility to vote in the Nov. 3 general election. Heap’s office said in a press release that ballots had been issued to the affected voters on the Active Early Voting List, and Mayes had agreed to dismiss her complaint. RECORDER HEAP: FOUR-WEEK DPOC DISPUTE RESOLVED AFTER CITIZENSHIP DOCUMENTATION PRESENTED TO COURT, AG DISMISSES COMPLAINT Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap announced today the resolution of Attorney General Kris Mayes' lawsuit concerning 24 voters placed in pending… pic.twitter.com/UbruQ2f4Fh — Maricopa County Recorder's Office (@RecordersOffice) October 24, 2026 According to the recorder’s office, the Attorney General’s Office presented citizenship documentation to the court during mediation. The court reviewed the records and issued a minute entry affirming their sufficiency, which Heap’s office said supplied the verification needed to restore the voters. “This entire dispute could have been resolved weeks ago with the very verification ultimately presented to the Court,” Heap said. “Our position never changed. We needed legally sufficient documentation of citizenship, we received it, and we immediately restored the voters.” Heap thanked Judge Christopher T. Whitten for resolving the matter and obtaining verification that the recorder said his office had sought from Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell’s office for four weeks. Mayes also announced the resolution Friday, attributing the restoration of voting eligibility to her office’s legal action. “It should not have taken litigation to make Justin Heap follow the law,” Mayes said. The complaint, filed Oct. 21 by Mayes and Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, originally identified 25 voters whose registrations remained designated “Not Eligible” after state and county investigators determined they were U.S. citizens. At a hearing on Friday before the mediation, Heap’s attorney, James Rogers of America First Legal, said one of those voters had already supplied proof of citizenship and been restored, leaving 24 at issue. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Adele Ponce arranged settlement discussions that afternoon. The dispute centered on the documentation required to restore the voters and whether Heap had authority to place their registrations in an ineligible category. Heap said Arizona motor vehicle records identified the individuals as noncitizens and federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) records could not confirm their citizenship. His office referred the cases to prosecutors and placed the registrations in what he described as “Pending DPOC” status while requesting documentary proof of citizenship. Heap maintained that his office needed legally sufficient verification before restoring full-ballot eligibility. He cited A.R.S. § 16-166, which identifies acceptable citizenship evidence and requires the recorder to indicate in a voter’s permanent file when satisfactory evidence has been submitted. Mayes and Fontes argued in their complaint that Heap lacked affirmative evidence that the affected voters were noncitizens and had improperly restricted their voting eligibility. According to the complaint, the individuals were among 207 registered voters referred for investigation. Investigators examined 60 who had previously cast ballots and determined that 52 were citizens and eight were noncitizens. The complaint said Heap had restored 27 of the 52 citizens to active status before the lawsuit was filed. The plaintiffs sought restoration of the remaining voters’ previous registration status and delivery of early ballots to 17 participants in the Active Early Voting List and one military or overseas voter. During Friday’s hearing, Assistant Attorney General Kara Karlson said her office was willing to provide citizenship information. She disputed Heap’s account of requests for the records and maintained that the voters should not have been placed in an ineligible status. Mitchell had also challenged Heap’s handling of the registrations. She denied that her office had advised him to cancel the voters’ registrations and said state law did not authorize a suspended category under the circumstances. “We are now in a place where there is no reason to question the citizenship of 52 voters. And there certainly is no confirmation that they are not citizens – quite the contrary – they are American citizens,” Mitchell wrote. “The law demands that they be allowed to vote.” A.R.S. § 16-165(A)(10) requires a recorder to confirm that a registered voter is not a U.S. citizen before initiating its notice-and-cancellation process. The provision gives the voter 35 days to supply satisfactory citizenship evidence before cancellation and referral to prosecutors. Heap’s Friday evening announcement said all 24 remaining voters had been restored following the court’s review. “Our office fulfilled its duty to protect eligible voters while upholding Arizona law,” he said.

In a press release, Petersen’s campaign listed endorsements from the Arizona Police Association, Arizona Fraternal Order of Police, Arizona State Troopers Association, Arizona Conference of Police & Sheriffs, Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Arizona, Maricopa County Colleges Police Officers Association, and Phoenix Police Sergeants and Lieutenants Association. For the first time in AZ history, a challenger to the sitting AG has the overwhelming support from law enforcement. As your next attorney general I will fight crime, defend the laws and the Constitution and root out fraud, waste and corruption. pic.twitter.com/wDXRHpFDom — Warren Petersen (@votewarren) July 20, 2026 “Law enforcement officers put their lives on the line every single day to protect our families, neighborhoods, and communities, and they deserve an Attorney General who will always have their backs,” Petersen said. “I am deeply honored to have earned the trust and support of the men and women who know firsthand what it takes to keep Arizona safe.” The campaign emphasized the endorsements of Arizona’s six largest police organizations and called Petersen the first challenger to a sitting Arizona attorney general to receive all six endorsements in the same election cycle. The announcement follows endorsements made earlier in the election cycle from the Arizona Conference of Police and Sheriffs (AZCOPS) and the Maricopa County Colleges Police Officers Association. AZCOPS Executive Director David Stone said at the time that the organization considered candidates’ records, commitment to public safety, and willingness to work with the leadership of its member organizations when determining endorsements. The Arizona State Troopers Association’s endorsed Petersen in June. Association President Jeff Hawkins cited Petersen’s relationship with troopers and other law enforcement personnel during his legislative service. “Throughout his time in the Arizona Legislature, Warren Petersen has always been a friend to the Troopers and to law enforcement around the state,” Hawkins said. Petersen has also received endorsements from Republican attorneys general in other states, including Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers, Utah Attorney General Derek Brown, Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador, West Virginia Attorney General J.B. McCuskey, and Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita. “Their endorsement sends an unmistakable message: It is time to restore integrity to the Attorney General’s Office, take politics out of law enforcement, and put the safety of Arizonans first,” Petersen said. The campaign also pointed to recent polling that placed Petersen and Mayes at 45% each among likely voters. Those results came from an Equis Research survey conducted Sept. 1–9 and released in an Oct. 6 memo. The survey interviewed 1,214 registered Arizona voters through live telephone interviews and text-to-web responses. Equis reported a margin of error of 3.2 percentage points for the full sample. Its candidate results were reported for likely voters, whose sample size and margin of error were not separately identified in the memo. The interviews preceded the campaign’s October advertising and its latest announcement highlighting the endorsements. Matthew Holloway is a senior reporter for AZ Free News.

The center, located at Tusayan Town Hall at 845 Mustang Drive, will provide applicants with direct access to SBA representatives who can answer questions, explain eligibility requirements, and assist with the disaster loan application process. Representatives will be available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. until the center permanently closes on Friday, October, 30. Walk-ins are welcome, and applicants can also schedule an in-person appointment. The opening follows the SBA’s October 13 disaster declaration, which made low-interest federal loans available to eligible businesses and private nonprofit organizations experiencing economic losses from flooding that occurred between August 29 and September 3. The declaration covers five Arizona counties, including Coconino, Gila, Mohave, Navajo, and Yavapai, along with Kane and San Juan Counties in Utah. Through the SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program, eligible small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, and private nonprofit organizations can apply for loans of up to $2 million to help cover operating expenses and other financial obligations resulting from the disaster. Applicants may qualify for assistance even if their property did not sustain physical damage, provided they experienced qualifying economic losses directly related to the flooding. Congressman Eli Crane (R-AZ-02), whose district includes Grand Canyon National Park, welcomed the opening of the recovery center and encouraged affected organizations to take advantage of the additional assistance. “I’m grateful to the U.S. Small Business Administration for putting personnel on the ground to assist small business owners,” stated Rep. Crane. “I encourage Arizonans impacted by this catastrophic disaster to meet with SBA representatives and explore their options.” Crane also emphasized the ongoing challenges facing Grand Canyon National Park and surrounding communities, pointing to continued recovery efforts and congressional action involving the North Rim Restoration Act of 2025. “The flash floods are the latest setback in a challenging stretch for Grand Canyon National Park and gateway communities,” added Crane. “My team and I remain committed to doing our part, and I’m hopeful these resources and recent movement on the North Rim Restoration Act of 2025 will deliver lasting results for Northern Arizona.” The recovery center will remain open through October 30, but eligible businesses and nonprofit organizations have until July 13, 2027, to submit economic injury disaster loan applications.

Inique Hinton, of Douglasville, was charged with attempted arson of a federal building and depredation of government property, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Georgia. "An attack on federal property is an attack against our democracy. It is an act of terrorism. It is an act of political violence, and it cannot stand," U.S. Attorney Theodore Hertzberg said during a news conference. According to prosecutors, security cameras captured Hinton walking near the ICE building at 180 Ted Turner Drive just before 8:15 p.m. Tuesday. SUSPECT NAMED IN NEW YORK CITY ALLEGED INCENDIARY DEVICE ATTACK, HAD 'ANTI-ICE STUFF' ON HIM Minutes later, he allegedly ignited an object and threw it toward the facility, striking the exterior fence and causing flames to spread. Investigators said they recovered burned cloth, lighter fluid, a glass bottle and a lighter at the scene. Hinton was arrested Thursday by the FBI at a residence in Cobb County. "This was obviously an attack directed at the ICE facility," Hertzberg said, adding that prosecutors would respond with "extreme severity" because "we need to send the message that this is not OK." "We can talk about immigration, we can have civil discourse, but we cannot allow criminal acts, terroristic acts, like the one that was committed three days ago in our city," he continued. FBI INVESTIGATING AFTER ICE HEADQUARTERS IN PHOENIX RIDDLED WITH GUNFIRE Hertzberg also said the Atlanta ICE building had previously been targeted approximately six years earlier, during the summer of 2020. "I want to make very clear we are not going back to that," he said. "We will not tolerate attacks on government property and attacks against federal law enforcement." Atlanta police witnessed the incident and attempted to pursue the suspect but were unable to apprehend him that night. The FBI later released images of an unidentified suspect and offered a reward of up to $20,000 for information leading to his identification and arrest. Hinton faces a mandatory minimum of five years and a maximum of 20 years in federal prison if convicted of attempted arson, while the government-property charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years. Authorities said the investigation remains ongoing.

New Jersey's notorious "Tan Mom" claims federal immigration agents nearly slapped her in handcuffs after questioning her American citizenship, allegedly because of the famously deep tan that made her a tabloid sensation. Patricia Krentcil recounted the bizarre encounter during an appearance on the "Light. Tan. Up." podcast alongside actor Tom Arnold, claiming U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents stopped her as she left a restaurant with girlfriends. CONTROVERSIAL ICE TACTIC ACTUALLY REDUCES UNINTENDED 'COLLATERAL' ARRESTS: FEDERAL AGENT "As we're walking out, the ICE people stopped me and they asked me, 'Am I an American citizen?'" Krentcil recalled. "And I'm like, 'Yes.' You know, like it blew my mind." But according to the longtime bronzing enthusiast, the encounter nearly took a turn even darker than her tan. "Because I was so tan, they were about to handcuff me ... and take me away. God knows where," she alleged. Krentcil, whose unusually bronzed complexion has attracted national attention for more than a decade, claimed she feared being detained and transported to an unknown location. DHS CONDEMNS ROSIE O’DONNELL AFTER ‘DISGUSTING’ CLAIM THAT DETAINED IMMIGRANTS ARE RAPED IN ICE FACILITIES "Once you get in those trucks, you don't know where you're going anymore," she said. "I was scared, but I held my own and I got out of the situation." The tanning enthusiast also accused immigration authorities of discriminatory behavior, saying, "But they're very racist about color and nationalities and stuff like that." DHS FIRES BACK AT PARAMORE'S HAYLEY WILLIAMS AFTER ‘F--- ICE' CONCERT OUTBURST She also described the alleged ordeal as "terrifying." Krentcil did not specify when or where the encounter allegedly occurred, and Fox News Digital has not independently verified her account. Krentcil first shot to national notoriety in 2012 after authorities accused her of bringing her then-5-year-old daughter into a tanning bed at a New Jersey salon. She was arrested and charged with second-degree child endangerment after her daughter reportedly arrived at school with sunburns, sparking a media frenzy over Krentcil's extreme tanning habits and parenting. The case ultimately ended without an indictment. An Essex County grand jury declined to indict Krentcil in February 2013, and the charges were dropped. Krentcil has since traded New Jersey for Florida, where the woman whose famously deep tan made her a tabloid sensation continues to embrace life in the Sunshine State. ICE did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment on the alleged incident.

The Brew Crew took Game 1 of the Fall Classic over the Tampa Bay Rays in a sweaty 3-2 ballgame. Down two, the Rays loaded the bases with one out in the ninth, but Liam Hicks grounded into what initially was ruled a game-ending double play. However, replay showed shortstop Cooper Pratt came off second base, instead making it a 3-2 game with runners on second and third and two outs. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE The Brewers had already ignited their fireworks, creating a chaotic, fog-filled scene, before Johnny DeLuca came to the plate and struck out to end the game. 2026 WORLD SERIES: HOW TO WATCH BREWERS AND RAYS AFTER SMALL BALL CARRIES THEM TO FALL CLASSIC The city of Milwaukee waited 46 years to see its team in the Fall Classic, and this year's Brewers wanted to stop wasting time. An RBI triple by Christian Yelich, followed by a William Contreras single, put the Brewers up 2-0 in the first inning. However, that was all they'd get for a while, as Nick Martinez settled down to get through five innings of work. The Milwaukee pitching, though, was just as good. Soon-to-be Cy Young Award winner Jacob Misiorowski held the Rays to just one run in his five innings, but certainly not without the help of some Rays baserunning blunders. Tampa Bay had runners on first and second with one out in the first, but Junior Caminero lined out, and Jonathan Aranda was doubled off at second to end the threat. In the fifth, Victor Mesa Jr. was caught stealing at third for the final out of the inning, a big baseball no-no. The Brewers matched that mistake with one of their own almost immediately, as nine-hitter David Hamilton made the first out at third in the bottom half of the frame trying to stretch a double into a triple. But they got a huge insurance run after some more typical Brewers small ball. In the seventh, Hamilton got a productive second out to get a runner into scoring position, and Jackson Chourio drove him in with an opposite-field, ground-ball single to make it 3-1. No team in the league went oppo and hit grounders at a higher rate than the Brewers in the regular season. Milwaukee will have Logan Henderson on the bump on Saturday night, while Drew Rasmussen will toe the slab for Tampa Bay.

(Photo by Gage Skidmore/Flickr/CC BY-SA 2.0) Arizona’s top election official and attorney general have dropped their lawsuit asking a judge to force Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap to reinstate the voting rights of 25 people who were falsely flagged as noncitizens by a federal database. The resolution came after court-ordered mediation on Friday.  At the heart of the matter is the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements database, or SAVE, a tool that has been overhauled by the Trump administration to look for instances of non-citizens registered to vote. It has been found to falsely flag U.S. citizens as non-citizens.  Heap used the database and identified 207 voters he said were likely noncitizens, sending those voters’ information to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office earlier this year. Of those 207 flagged, 60 had cast ballots.  Heap moved those voters to the “non eligible” category. That designation means that, unless those voters provide documented proof of citizenship before the next election, they will be unable to vote.  However, a review of those 60 voters by the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office found that only eight of them were actually noncitizens, and no more than three ever voted in the same election. The Attorney General’s Office made similar findings.  Now, 25 of those 60 who had their voter registration canceled — but whose citizenship was verified by both MCAO and the AG’s Office — who were unable to vote in this year’s election have now had their voting rights restored.  Both parties pointed fingers at each other Friday evening.  “After successful mediation efforts, Recorder Heap will reinstate the voting status of citizens at issue in this case,” Mayes said in a statement posted to social media. “It should not have taken litigation to make Justin Heap follow the law — that is his duty and the duty of all election officials.” Meanwhile, Heap said he had been attacked by Mayes and Secretary of State Adrian Fontes for following Arizona law.  “This entire dispute could have been resolved weeks ago with the very verification ultimately presented to the Court,” Heap said in a statement. “Our position never changed. We needed legally sufficient documentation of citizenship, we received it, and we immediately restored the voters. Our office fulfilled its duty to protect eligible voters while upholding Arizona law.” Maricopa County Supervisor Tom Galvin, a Republican, slammed Heap for falsely accusing dozens of voters of being illegally registered and then only reinstating their registration after he was sued. “Justin Heap is lying to YOU, again,” Galvin wrote on social media. “Back in *February* he declared these 25 US citizens as “non-citizens”, patted himself on the back… Today, Justin is spinning a sad 8-month episode’s ending.”  In court on Friday morning, a Maricopa County Superior Court judge ordered Heap, Mayes and Fontes to go to a mediation to try to settle the matter “outside of the court.”  That mediation led to the proof of citizenship to be provided to Heap, who then reinstated the impacted voters.  The Recorder’s Office said that all “the voters now have now been restored to active status, ballots have been issued to those on the Active Early Voting List (AEVL), and the Attorney General has agreed to dismiss her complaint.” YOU MAKE OUR WORK POSSIBLE.

The candidates both spoke separately with Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier on "Special Report" in Detroit, 11 days before the Nov. 3 election. Baier pressed El-Sayed about a 2012 statement involving former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, who was affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood. EL-SAYED, ROGERS CLASH OVER MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, TRUMP AND GUNS: 5 FIERY DEBATE MOMENTS "No, no, no, let me just stop there," El-Sayed interrupted. "You are asking this question to raise a question about whether or not I have dual loyalties." Baier explained he was asking about allegations raised by Rogers' campaign. "I will be loyal to the Constitution of the United States," El-Sayed said. "Don't be Rogers' campaign," he continued. ABDUL EL-SAYED GROWS AGITATED WITH REPORTER AFTER BEING PRESSED ON FAMILY'S ALLEGED MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD TIES "I'm asking a question," Baier replied. "Be a journalist," El-Sayed shot back. "I am," Baier responded. El-Sayed accused Rogers of making his Muslim faith a campaign issue, calling the suggestion "sad" and "beneath him." EL-SAYED'S PAST MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD COMMENTS RAISE RED FLAGS AS HE EYES POWERFUL ROLE The controversy centers partly on a 2012 letter that the Washington Free Beacon reported El-Sayed signed supporting decisions by then-Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, including calls to purge Egypt's police and media. El-Sayed has also faced scrutiny over social media posts from his half-sister describing their mother's alleged involvement in Muslim Brotherhood activism in the 1970s. He has denied personal or family ties to the organization and said he was raised by his father and stepmother. In an Oct. 17 Fox News interview, El-Sayed acknowledged that his sister-in-law was a plaintiff in a lawsuit challenging her alleged placement on a terrorist watchlist, but insisted she had done nothing wrong. The FBI declined to confirm or deny her watchlist status. The lawsuit does not establish wrongdoing. Rogers rejected El-Sayed's characterization in his own interview. ROGERS WARNS MICHIGAN VOTERS AGAINST EL-SAYED’S ‘EXTREME’ AGENDA AHEAD OF ELECTION "I wore the uniform of the United States. Many in my family, including our son, wore the uniform of the United States so he can pray any way he wants," Rogers said. "It is not how he prays, it's how he thinks." Rogers accused El-Sayed of embracing the organization's ideology and portraying himself as a victim. "He has adopted the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood," Rogers alleged. Baier noted that El-Sayed had denied ever belonging to the organization and pledged allegiance to the Constitution. "Does he disavow? Does he really say it?" Rogers responded. El-Sayed had explicitly disavowed the organization at an Oct. 17 town hall, answering, "Sure. Yeah, absolutely" when asked. The candidates also differed over the war with Iran, which El-Sayed blamed for rising gasoline and grocery prices. "We need a war powers resolution to end the capacity for this president to wage an illegal, unjustifiable war," El-Sayed said. Rogers defended the original rationale for military action but said he has urged President Donald Trump to end the conflict. "I've called for him to wrap it up. That's the right thing to do," Rogers said. Turning to Michigan's economy, Rogers said the state has lost 27,000 manufacturing jobs and faces some of the nation's highest auto insurance costs. He also raised concerns about education, claiming roughly two-thirds of fourth graders cannot read at grade level. Rogers defended Trump's influence in Michigan, pointing to his support among voters and crediting his trade policies with encouraging General Motors to bring Silverado pickup truck production back to the state. But the Republican acknowledged a disagreement with Trump over trade with Canada. "I've come out and said we shouldn't be doing the Canadian tariffs the way we are doing them," Rogers said. Baier also pressed El-Sayed over Medicare for All, and whether middle-class taxes would rise. "I'm fine with people keeping their private insurance if that's what they want, but I want guaranteed public insurance for everybody," El-Sayed said. Rogers disputed El-Sayed's position, arguing that Medicare for All would eliminate private insurance and raise costs for Michigan families. El-Sayed touted upcoming campaign appearances with former President Barack Obama and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., while questioning whether Trump would help Rogers in Michigan. With both Trump and Obama expected to campaign in Michigan over the weekend, the candidates are turning to their parties' most recognizable figures as they make their final pitches to voters ahead of Election Day.

The pre-wedding festivities brought together loved ones from different chapters of their lives for a special evening honoring the couple. "My heart is overflowing with gratitude and joy," Earhardt said. "To celebrate this beautiful season of our lives surrounded by the people we love most is truly a dream come true. God has blessed us in more ways than we could ever imagine, and I am so thankful that He brought Sean and me together. Our families, our children and our precious friends mean the world to us and sharing this moment with them makes it even more meaningful. We are so excited for this next chapter and know that the very best is yet to come." Earhardt, co-host of the network's top-rated morning program "FOX & Friends" and Hannity, the host of FOX News Channel's "Hannity" and podcast "Hang Out with Sean Hannity," announced their engagement in December 2024 after Hannity proposed over Christmas at their home church in Florida. "Ainsley is an incredible person and I couldn't be happier or more grateful that God brought us together," Hannity said. "Faith, family and friendship are what matter most in life and having so many people we love and care about together to celebrate this moment means the world to us. We are incredibly blessed and I can't thank everyone enough for being part of such a special evening." Among those celebrating were Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott and FOX News President and Executive Editor Jay Wallace as well as Earhardt's fellow "FOX & Friends" co-hosts Steve Doocy, Lawrence Jones and Brian Kilmeade, along with numerous other Fox News personalities.

Kennedy Jr. and his wife, actress Cheryl Hines, Sen. Tim Scott, Sen. Darline Graham, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro, among others. "I've had a personal relationship with President Trump for over 30 years," Hannity said. "When Ainsley and I began planning this celebration, it was important to us that he could be part of this special time in our lives. We chose to host a party at Mar-a-Lago and paid fair market value for the venue. We are grateful that he and Melania could celebrate alongside our families and friends."  Other guests included longtime friends of the couple, including ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, country music legend Lee Greenwood, podcast host Sage Steele, television personality Jillian Michaels and Steve and Andrea Wynn.

"Signing these interagency agreements means, in fact, that the Department of Education is contracting with these agencies to perform the functions that they've been given," McMahon told Fox News Digital. "The first big block of work was transferred over to the Department of Labor." Throughout his 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump promised to eliminate the ED, later signing an executive order directing his administration to begin dismantling the agency. MCMAHON EMBARKS ON FOUR-STATE TOUR TO PUT LOCAL LEADERS AND PARENTS 'BACK INTO THE DRIVER’S SEAT' OF EDUCATION As part of that effort, the Department of Labor (DOL) is taking on a major role in the day-to-day administration of adult education, family literacy, and career and technical education (CTE) programs under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and the Perkins Act. While Labor manages operational duties, the Department of Education retains statutory responsibilities and oversight while shifting services to states and grant recipients. "It started first with CTE — Career and Technical Education — then K–12, and finally higher education as well," McMahon said. McMahon explained that she wants to show lawmakers that federal support for students won't falter without a standalone cabinet department. "I've asked Congress with this proof of concept in these interagency agreements: 'Let me prove to you that it works,'" she said. "Ultimately, Congress has to vote if we do close the Department of Education and if I, in fact, am able to fire myself. Hopefully, they will vote [for it], because I believe the outcome will be better for students — and that is the goal. That is certainly the president's goal." TRUMP ADMIN URGES RETURNING EDUCATION TO STATES, CITING $3 TRILLION OF TAXES SPENT AND POOR PROFICIENCY SCORES The agency took another major step by partnering with the Department of the Treasury, which agreed to take over key operations related to federal student loans and collections on defaulted debt. The student loan partnership with Treasury and the workforce initiative with DOL are part of a broader series of interagency agreements. According to Department of Education officials, the goal is to demonstrate a "proof of concept" to Congress that essential federal education functions and funding flows can be successfully reallocated across executive branch agencies without disruption. "I call it my proof of concept to show Congress that it works, that the money still gets to schools and to students where they need it," McMahon told Fox News Digital. "Some of the programs in the Department of Education were being duplicated in other agencies, or handled better elsewhere," McMahon added. "So let's be efficient. Let's make sure the money gets where it needs to go, let's measure that by student outcomes, and let's hold teachers and administrators accountable for what they're doing." Andrew Gillen, a higher education policy research fellow at the Cato Institute, told Fox News Digital that shifting major core duties like student loans and formula grants marks a substantial change from previous interagency agreements, which historically focused on minor administrative support. McMahon previously argued during the government shutdown that the ED acts primarily as a pass-through entity for federal money, contending that its day-to-day functions are nonessential. "Congress appropriates the funds. The funds come through the Department of Education, and some of that funding still goes to other agencies to get to students and schools," McMahon told Fox News Digital. "Primarily, the money was passed through the Department of Education to then get to the states and local authorities for education." TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TARGETS HEAD START BUREAUCRACY IN MOVE ADVOCATES SAY PUTS PARENTS IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT ED announced earlier this year that the agency moved out of the Lyndon B. Johnson Department of Education building, so the Department of Energy could move in by August. The move is what the officials call "a prudent step to save hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars and further reduce the federal education bureaucracy." The Trump administration is also seeking to reduce the department's footprint by returning more power to the states. The ED launched a new process allowing states to seek greater flexibility in using federal education funds and reducing administrative burdens. Iowa became the first state to participate in the effort. The Department of Education sent states a letter in July 2025 encouraging them to apply for the waiver, which would give state education officials more discretion over federal dollars and reduce compliance costs.

Back in February, Stewart made his return to NASCAR competition when he drove the No. 25 Ram 1500 for Kaulig Racing. That ended with a crash 39 laps into the race, so Stewart was surely hoping — and fans certainly were too — that he would make it the full race distance. NASCAR FANS PACK INTO TALLADEGA SUPERSPEEDWAY AHEAD OF SUNDAY'S JACK LINKS 500 RACE Unfortunately, his time on track was even shorter. The race got off to a good start for Stewart. He qualified 29th, but was able to gain 11 positions in the first 15 laps. But on lap 17, Stewart Friesen lost control of his No. 52 Toyota Tundra on the backstretch, which caused a big, nine-car wreck. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE That was it for Stewart, which is a real shame for a few reasons. First of all, it sure seems like that truck of his had some potential, given how many positions he picked up early. Secondly, fans didn't get to see as much of the NASCAR Hall of Famer back on track. Welp. You got 17 laps. Hey, that is the reality of superspeedway racing. You need a good helping of luck to go along with that quick truck. "Yeah, it’s just a racing deal," Stewart said, per the Associated Press. "That’s part of it. Stewart (Friesen) couldn’t go anywhere. He had an issue, and he’s stuck in the middle. So he was doing the best he could to hang onto it, and just everybody around him got caught up in it." Well, maybe we'll get to see Stewart back in the Truck Series at some point next season. There aren't any concrete plans, but he's certainly due for some good luck. The race win ended up going to Spire Motorsports' Sammy Smith, who managed to take the checkered flag in overtime. It was Smith's first career Truck Series win and came the same day that it was announced that he will compete full-time for Tricon Garage next season.

According to TMZ, Flair was at a Tampa bar when he walked outside and fell, injuring his face and possibly suffering a concussion. TMZ says Flair cut his head and eye, which was bleeding, and was loaded into an ambulance. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE The reported fall came hours after Flair announced that he would be unable to attend a scheduled appearance in Seattle due to a blood clot in his leg. "My Doctors Have Limited My Travel To 3–4 Hours. Seattle Falls Outside That Range, And As Disappointed As I Am, I Have To Put My Health And Recovery First. Blood Clots Are Extremely Serious And Can Be Life-Threatening," Flair said on X. "We Have Seen This Recently With Jalen Hurts And The Complications Involving Blood Clots In His Lungs. It Is A Reminder That This Is Not Something To Take Lightly, And I Must Follow Medical Advice." Flair said he is slated to have surgery on the affected vein, "[w]hich My Doctors Expect Will Allow Me To Be Cleared For More Travel Afterward." "Please Know This Decision Was Not Made Lightly. I Am Truly Sorry For The Inconvenience And Disappointment, And I Am Incredibly Grateful For Your Patience, Understanding, And Continued Support. I Look Forward To Getting Healthy And Seeing You All Down The Road. Thank You For The Love And Support," Flair added. Tampa Fire Rescue told OutKick and Fox News Digital that it responded to a fall outside the establishment, and an adult male was taken to a local hospital — the department did not name Flair, saying they could not "provide any patient particulars due to HIPPA guidelines." Flair, 77, has battled health and alcohol issues over the years. EX-WRESTLER PAC'S SUDDEN DEATH CAUSE REVEALED BY COOK COUNTY MEDICAL EXAMINER'S OFFICE Flair has been in and out of wrestling for the last few years. His so-called "Last Match" took place in 2022 — a tag-team match with his then-son-in-law, the wrestler known as Andrade, against Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal. He later revealed he passed out twice during the match. Flair made his All Elite Wrestling debut in 2023 and was a brief part of Sting’s final professional match at AEW Revolution, where Sting and Darby Allin took on the Young Bucks. He was a World Championship Wrestling world heavyweight champion eight times, a National Wrestling Alliance world heavyweight champion nine times and a WWE champion twice during his career. The WWE inducted Flair into its Hall of Fame in 2008 as a singles wrestler and as a member of the Four Horsemen in 2012.

The 19-year-old granddaughter of President Donald Trump shared a preview of the conversation on Instagram during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, revealing that her mother, who's the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., was diagnosed in April. "And my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in April, so we thought we'd share her story and how she was diagnosed, how she overcame it," Kai said in the video. KAI TRUMP REVEALS HOW FAMILY RALLIED AROUND MOM VANESSA AMID BREAST CANCER BATTLE: ‘IT’S A LONG JOURNEY’ To finish the social clip, Vanessa shared the news that she is now cancer-free. "And it came back clear, so I'm finally cancer-free," Vanessa said. "Love you!" Kai responded. The video also features Fox News medical contributor Dr. Nicole Saphier, who discusses the importance of breast cancer awareness and early detection. FORMER 'DWTS' HOST SAMANTHA HARRIS SURVIVED BREAST CANCER TWICE AFTER DOCTORS DISMISSED HER SYMPTOMS "It feels different for everyone," Saphier said. "The reason I like social media talking about breast cancer is because it's reminding people that it is common." In her Instagram caption, Kai said she sat down with her mother and Saphier to discuss Vanessa's cancer journey, prevention and early detection. She also announced that the full conversation would be released on YouTube the following day. Vanessa, the former wife of Donald Trump Jr. and mother of five, first revealed her breast cancer diagnosis in May. "I've recently been diagnosed with breast cancer," Vanessa wrote at the time. "While this isn't news anyone expects, I'm working closely with my medical team on a treatment plan." She revealed that doctors had performed a procedure earlier that week and thanked her family for their support. "I am staying focused and hopeful while surrounded by the love and support of my family, my kids, and those closest to me," she wrote. KAI TRUMP OPENS UP ABOUT LEAVING HOME FOR COLLEGE, CREDITS PRESIDENT FOR GIVING HER 'COMPETITIVE EDGE' The announcement prompted support from Ivanka Trump, who wrote, "Praying for your continued strength and a swift recovery. Love you mama." In June, Vanessa said she was recovering from surgery and preparing to begin the second stage of treatment, Fox News Digital reported. Kai later opened up about the emotional experience in an August interview with Fox News Digital, shortly after beginning her freshman year at the University of Miami. "There was definitely, there was a lot of crying in like the week leading up," Kai said of the days before leaving for college. "We would just be driving, and then we'd just start crying together." At the time, Kai said her mother was improving after treatment. "My mom, she's doing a lot better," she said. "Kind of after treatment, she wasn't feeling very good. Just like how treatment will make you feel … but she's getting a lot better now." Kai described the extra time she spent with her mother over the summer as a "blessing in disguise." "I was able to spend extra time with her that I would normally probably spend on the golf course," Kai said. "It was nice to spend those extra hours with her throughout the day before going to college." Now, months after Vanessa first revealed her diagnosis and Kai described their emotional summer together, the mother and daughter are sharing a hopeful new chapter. "And it came back clear, so I'm finally cancer-free," Vanessa said in the new video. Fox News Digital's Sophia Compton and Paulina Dedaj contributed to this reporting. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adbf76111846704b3a7b461 Tyler Robinson hearing ends without trial date set, prompting fiery plea from Erika Kirk's lawyer te 2026-10-24T00:10:09.744Z Tyler Robinson hearing ends without trial date set, prompting fiery plea from Erika Kirk's lawyer PROVO, Utah — Tyler Robinson, the 23-year-old Utah man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk at a Turning Point USA event last year, still doesn't have a trial date after hearing oral arguments from both sides — and a lawyer for Kirk's widow — about how much time they think they'll need and when they'd like to start. Robinson, wearing a light gray suit, uncuffed and unshackled, did not address the court. He spoke quietly with attorneys Richard Novak, Kathy Nester and Staci Visser during breaks, at one point handing Visser a note. Judge Tony Graf Jr. said he had planned to set a trial date at the end of the hearing but needed more time after questioning both sides about their expected timelines and commitments in previously scheduled trials on other cases. LAWYERS FOR CHARLIE KIRK'S ACCUSED ASSASSIN TYLER ROBINSON WANT CAMERAS BANNED AFTER REPORT ON TAXPAYER BURDEN The roughly three-hour hearing saw several interruptions due to technical difficulty with WebEx, with Robinson defense attorney Michael Burt and an attorney for Kirk's parents, Robert and Kathy, attending remotely. Utah County prosecutors had floated Jan. 31, 2028, as their preferred trial date but said they could be ready in October 2027. TYLER ROBINSON TO FACE TRIAL IN CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION AS JUDGE KEEPS DEATH PENALTY ON TABLE The defense had asked for a "soft target" date in the third quarter of 2029, citing large amounts of discovery and other trial preparations — as well as trial commitments in other cases. Among those, one directly conflicted with the prosecution's desired start date, a federal racketeering case defense attorney Novak has scheduled for Jan. 10, 2028. Both sides agreed that setting a trial that would run through the holidays could put potential jurors and witnesses in a bind. ERIKA KIRK PENS ESSAY ON GRIEF AS READERS GAIN INSIGHTS INTO WRENCHING PAST YEAR "Justice delayed this long stops being justice for the Kirk family," said Jeffrey Neiman, an attorney for Kirk's widow, Erika. Neiman noted that only about 5% of federal cases actually make it to trial and said the Kirk family would be happy to write to the federal judge and ask for the January trial to be rescheduled to clear up Robinson's defense attorney. Under Utah's state constitution, victims and their representatives have a right to a speedy resolution to their case. Erika Kirk is the court's designated victim's representative. Novak told the court that trial's start date had been "set in stone" and argued against rushing things along in the case against Robinson. "The reality is rushing to trial does not lead to closure, it does not lead to finality, it leads to mistakes," he said. UTAH PROSECUTORS ASK JUDGE TO SHUT DOWN DELAY TACTICS IN CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION CASE Graf expressed concern that if he does not set a date soon, additional conflicts could arise. GOT A TIP? Neiman, who is primarily a criminal defense attorney, has repeatedly asked the court to speed things up. LISTEN TO THE NEW 'CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO' PODCAST "Time is the defense’s best ally," he said. "It’s their best friend." GET BREAKING NEWS BY EMAIL He also noted that regardless of when the trial takes place, Charlie Kirk won't be able to spend Christmas with his family. "Your honor, if you set it, it will happen," Neiman said. "Set it, please." Graf set the next hearing for Monday, Nov. 9 at 1 p.m. MT, when he said he would read his ruling.
