https://meenews.co/post/6adfbd0ef04c506ce1c02dc6 Driving memory lane: Return to Arizona always special for Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr te 2026-10-26T20:50:22.928Z Driving memory lane: Return to Arizona always special for Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr PHOENIX – During the long road trips of a grueling NBA season, stops in Phoenix mean a little bit more for Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr.  It’s like a trip through time for Kerr, who has parlayed a lone major college scholarship offer from legendary Arizona basketball coach Lute Olson into an improbable four-decade basketball journey. It has taken Kerr through stops in Phoenix as a player and member of the front office with the Suns, to five NBA championships as a player with the Bulls and San Antonio Spurs, and to four more rings as coach of the Warriors. That winding road brought Kerr to the Valley again when the Suns beat the Warriors 131-122 in the home opener for Phoenix on Saturday at Mortgage Matchup Center, giving him a chance to reminisce. Kerr’s basketball odyssey could soon be coming to an end.  His contract with the Warriors ends after next season. It is also when Golden State star Steph Curry’s contract could end, although he has a player option for the 2028-29 season. And Draymond Green, Golden State’s mercurial big man, will be a free agent after this season. For now, the three remain together to chase another championship. But it all began for Kerr in Arizona. He called his time in Tucson a “catapult” into his life in basketball and his pro career that began in Phoenix. “I always love coming back here,” Kerr said. “Coming back to Arizona, coming back to the arena where I spent three years as (general manager and president of basketball operations) and my original team as a player. The Suns organization always has a special place in my heart.” The Warriors hired Kerr in 2014, but he has continued to maintain friendships with people around the Suns organization and in the Valley. “There are a lot of people still here who I am friends with and look forward to seeing, and it’s always a great stop on the trip for me,” Kerr said. Kerr was recruited by only a few small programs during his time at Palisades High in Pacific Palisades, California before Olson spotted him and extended the only Division I scholarship offer he received.  Building around Kerr and forward Sean Elliott, a star at Tucson’s Cholla High, Olson built the Wildcats into a national basketball power. “I give literally most of the credit to coach Olson,” Kerr said. “My time at U of A was life-changing. He gave me a scholarship when nobody else would, and then taught me everything about the game, being a team and being a part of something special.” Kerr and Elliott led Olson’s Wildcats to their first No. 1 national ranking and the school’s first Final Four appearance during Kerr’s senior season in 1987-88. Kerr shot 57.3-percent from 3-point range that season – the only college season he played with the 3-point line – setting an NCAA Division I record that still stands. It was enough to convince the Suns to select him in the second round of the 1988 NBA Draft.  Kerr credits the late Cotton Fitzsimmons, a member of the Suns Ring of Honor, for building a strong basketball culture and said that he learned a lot from Fitzsimmons during his brief time with the team. He vividly remembered one moment from his rookie season that perfectly encapsulates Fitzsimmons’ coaching style, a play when Kerr didn’t gamble for a steal defensively because he was afraid to make a mistake.  Fitzsimmons quickly called out Kerr’s defensive timidness in a line that Kerr still laughs about to this day.  “‘Kerr, you’re so conservative, I bet your parents voted for Goldwater,’” Kerr said, recalling the Fitzsimmons wisecrack about the famously conservative Republican, Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater.  That memory summarized Fitzsimmons as a person and a coach for Kerr.  “What a great way to use a metaphor to remember a principle of the game and of life with humor,” Kerr said. “But that was Cotton. We all loved him, and we miss him.” Considered too slow to play point guard and too small to play shooting guard, Kerr played sparingly during his first five NBA seasons with the Suns, Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic. Then he found his niche in the Chicago Bulls’ “triangle” triple-post offense under coach Phil Jackson. Kerr won three NBA championships with the Bulls and added two more during his time with the San Antonio Spurs, where he was reunited with Elliott. He still holds the NBA record for best career 3-point field goal percentage at 45.4. Following his playing career and a stint as a TNT NBA analyst, Kerr joined the Suns front office as president of basketball operations from 2007-10. During his time in the Phoenix front office, Kerr thought he had engineered a deal that would have brought him together with Curry long before they joined forces with the Warriors. Kerr and his staff thought they had an agreement with Golden State the night before the 2009 NBA Draft that would have the Warriors take Curry at No. 7 in the first round, then trade his rights to Phoenix. When Curry was on the board at No. 7, cheers could be heard from the Phoenix “war room” on draft night. It soon went silent when the Warriors informed the Suns they weren’t moving Curry. Nash has said they thought Curry would be the next version of Steve Nash, who won two NBA Most Valuable Player awards in Phoenix. After leaving the Suns and returning to TNT, Kerr was offered the Warriors job. Curry’s presence was a major reason he took the job in the Bay Area, where he has become a likely future Hall of Fame coach who consistently instills confidence in his players.  Warriors center Charles Bassey noted Kerr’s willingness to let his team play through mistakes, where most coaches would be quick to make a substitution.  “He gives each player the confidence to go out there and play,” Bassey said. “He knows that we’re going to make mistakes, but he wants us to just play hard.” Warriors guard De’Anthony Melton, a former Suns player going into his third season with Golden State under Kerr, said Kerr’s experience as a player helps him connect with his players.  “He played before, so I think he understands the nuances of basketball,” Melton said. “Sometimes you’re going to get down on yourself and sometimes you’ll feel on top of the world, but just making sure you maintain a level focus and making sure you’re dialed in on the right things.” For Kerr, whose basketball journey has taken him from a player to a front office executive to the broadcast booth to a legacy as one of the most successful head coaches the game has ever seen, the credit always comes back to the desert where it all started. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adfbd07f04c506ce1c02d9a ESPN fumbles the Holy War by forcing Utah and BYU into a dreaded early-morning kickoff for fans te 2026-10-26T20:50:15.571Z ESPN fumbles the Holy War by forcing Utah and BYU into a dreaded early-morning kickoff for fans The annual 'Holy War' between Utah and BYU deserves better. Once we get to this part of the season, television networks have to obviously start picking what they think are the most opportune times to broadcast some of the most important games they have under contract. But, that doesn’t mean companies need to sacrifice and give into the pressure of opposing conference games in order to get the better rating. And yes, I understand ESPN has the television rights to SEC and Big 12 football, so decisions like this are not easy for the programming department. LINCOLN RILEY'S TENURE SHOULD END WITH LOSS AGAINST OHIO STATE'S BACKUP QB, WITH A $70 MILLION BUYOUT Though, making Utah and BYU play at 10 a.m. local time feels criminal in this case, given the ramifications around this Big 12 game that has major CFP implications. If you haven’t seen the news yet, here is how ESPN decided what was best for the November 7th slate of games that are filled with must-see showdowns. MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS: ARCH MANNING LIKES THE DISRESPECT, BIG 12'S DISASTER AND A CFP RACE IN DISARRAY BYU vs. Utah: 12 p.m ET on ABC/ESPN Texas vs. Missouri: 12 p.m. ET on ABC/ESPN Alabama vs. LSU: 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC Kentucky vs. Tennessee: 6:15 p.m. ET on ESPN Georgia vs. Ole Miss: 7:30 p.m ET on ABC And, NBC will broadcast the Miami vs. Notre Dame showdown at 7:30 pm ET, while Oregon will face Ohio State at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS. So, that left the important Big 12 game between the Cougars and Utes as the odd-teams out of this television equation that will see a plethora of top-25 showdowns take place on the same day. Look, I get that ESPN was put into a spot, but this could have easily been handled by the network putting the anticipated 'Holy War' in the 9:30 pm ET time slot after Kentucky faced-off with Tennessee on ESPN. It should also be noted that the Big 12 essentially gets the 3rd round pick on these weekends, and BYU just lost to UCF this past Saturday. But, make it a 10:00 p.m. ET kickoff on the network, which is essentially what took place this past weekend when Houston played Utah in Salt Lake City. We should be awarding the fans in college football with a better situation than having them walk into the stadium at 8-9 a.m local time for a highly-anticipated rivalry game with so much on the line. This almost feels criminal to make both fanbases wake up this early for a top-25 showdown with CFP ramifications. For this, ESPN should have put this game in the late window, even if they were sacrificing some of the ratings that were undoubtably coming their way. Did the network honestly think a large portion of the college football base would not stay up for a late kickoff that came after Notre Dame played Miami, or Georgia faced Ole Miss in primetime? I also understand the conundrum ESPN was in regarding this kickoff time, but both Utah and BYU deserved better. This one is a loss, no matter how the networks come out of this I'd imagine those within the Big 12 office in Texas are fuming at this decision, and rightfully so.

Sand was asked by Fox News about allegations that Democrats have boosted unaffiliated Alaska Senate candidate Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., whose name closely resembles that of incumbent Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan, in an effort to draw votes away from the senator. "Both parties are doing it and neither party should be doing it," Sand told Fox News in an exclusive interview Sunday. "To me, it's manipulating the political system and it's not a good thing to do." TOP ELECTION SCHEMES ROILING KEY MIDTERM RACES AS BOTH PARTIES ACCUSE RIVALS OF TRICKERY The unusual candidacy has become the center of an escalating legal and political fight in Alaska, where the Justice Department has intervened, arguing that the similarity between the candidates' names could confuse voters. On the ballot, the Republican incumbent appears as "Dan S. Sullivan," identified as a Republican and the incumbent, while his unaffiliated challenger appears as "Daniel J. Sullivan Jr." Republicans argue the similarity could cause some voters intending to support the senator to instead select his unaffiliated challenger, accusing Democratic operatives of helping elevate Daniel J. Sullivan to "siphon" votes from the GOP incumbent. Democrats have blasted the Trump administration's intervention, while Daniel J. Sullivan has denied that he is a Democratic plant. TRUMP SAYS 'WE ARE LOOKING INTO' OTHER DAN SULLIVAN ON ALASKA BALLOT, WARNS ABOUT GOVERNOR'S RACE Attorney General Todd Blanche defended the Trump administration’s lawsuit seeking to block certification of Alaska’s Senate results if Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan loses to his Democratic opponent, Mary Peltola. The administration says the lawsuit is intended to address the possible voter confusion, but Peltola called the case "flagrant corruption," while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has called it "an outrage." MANCHIN CALLS SCHUMER 'CRAZY' FOR TRYING TO OUST GOP SENATOR IN CRUCIAL SENATE SHOWDOWN "This is an outrage," Schumer said on social media about the suit. "It shows they know they’re going to lose. We will fight tooth and nail. And we will win." Peltola has argued that voters can distinguish between the two candidates and her campaign has asked a federal judge to dismiss the Justice Department's case.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adfbaaef04c506ce1c02d25 JOHN CZWARTACKI: The Bill Is Coming Due For Democrats’ Medicare Overhaul te 2026-10-26T20:40:14.780Z JOHN CZWARTACKI: The Bill Is Coming Due For Democrats’ Medicare Overhaul By John Czwartacki | Democrats have made affordability a central theme of their midterm campaign. In these closing weeks before the election, Republicans should hold them to account for the unsustainable costs of the Medicare prescription drug overhaul they passed in 2022 without a single Republican vote. The Inflation Reduction Act promised lower prescription costs and savings for taxpayers. Its cap on seniors’ out-of-pocket spending helped patients with expensive medicines. But the remaining costs did not disappear. They landed elsewhere in the program, and the promised federal savings have turned into projected losses. The Trump administration can correct flaws in how the law is being implemented. Congress must address the financing problems written into the statute. Democrats should not be left to campaign on affordability unopposed while refusing to address the higher costs their own law helped create. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) originally estimated that the law’s drug-price negotiations, inflation rebates and benefit redesign would reduce federal deficits by $129 billion between 2022 and 2031. It now projects that those same provisions will increase deficits over that period. The promised savings from negotiation and rebates fell short, while the cost of Democrats’ changes to Part D’s coverage and financing blew past projections. Democrats promised to reduce federal deficits. Their overhaul is now projected to increase them. The spending forecast is worse. CBO now projects that Part D will cost about $700 billion more from 2026 through 2035 than previously estimated. Roughly $550 billion of that increase reflected new information from insurers’ 2026 bids. CBO identified Democrats’ benefit overhaul as the leading driver of those higher bids, although it could not isolate the overhaul’s share of the overall spending increase. Seniors are also losing choices. The number of stand-alone prescription drug plans, which serve beneficiaries in traditional Medicare, fell from 766 in 2022 to 360 in 2026. More than half disappeared in four years. Low-income beneficiaries in Florida and Texas had just one benchmark plan available without a premium in 2026. For seniors trying to find affordable coverage for their prescriptions, fewer plans mean fewer places to turn. The remaining plans are also covering fewer medicines in some drug classes. A study of 59 brand-name drugs in competitive classes found that the average share of stand-alone plan enrollees with coverage for those medicines fell from about 47% in 2024 to 36% in 2026. Seniors face fewer plan choices and narrower drug coverage. They are also being asked to pay more before their plans pick up the tab. The average stand-alone plan deductible rose from $425 in 2024 to $544 in 2026. Seniors subject to those deductibles must pay more at the pharmacy counter before their plans begin sharing the cost. Washington, meanwhile, has helped stave off premium increases by sending more of the bill to taxpayers. Before offsets, the law’s premium-growth cap increased direct subsidy costs by $33 billion during 2024–2026. A separate stabilization program added $10.7 billion during 2025–2026. Those subsidies buy time but leave taxpayers footing a bigger bill. Repairing Part D will require action from both the Trump administration and Congress. The Trump administration should start by using its rulemaking authority to change how the Drug Price Negotiation Program sets prices, including excluding generic prices from the calculation of negotiated drugs’ Maximum Fair Prices. But the administration cannot rewrite the statute through rulemaking. Congress must address how Part D divides costs among the government, insurers and manufacturers. The goal should be to protect seniors from catastrophic prescription expenses while preserving competing plans and limiting taxpayers’ exposure. Getting that done in a lame-duck session is a long shot. Democrats would have to help change a law they are still selling as a success. Republicans should make Democrats explain that refusal to voters. Republicans should put Part D’s higher costs and shrinking plan choices before voters now, while ballots are being cast, and demand that every Democrat campaigning on affordability commit to helping repair the program when Congress returns. Democrats sought the credit for overhauling Part D. They should help provide the votes to repair it. Originally published by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

"Yesterday, Brazil showed the world that the will of the people is stronger than the authoritarians who try to suppress it," Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said in a post to X. "Congratulations, President [Lula] and congratulations Brazil." Progressives have framed Lula’s victory as a transnational repudiation of what they regard as the core politics of the Trump administration and its allies. But questions about the election remain after one of Brazil's Supreme Court justices granted a last-minute extension of the country's polling hours, prompting Lula's opponent to question the legitimacy of the outcome. In the waning hours of the election, Lula requested a two-hour extension of voting hours from the country’s Supreme Court, citing delayed public transportation services. Less than half an hour before the polls were scheduled to close, Supreme Court Justice Christiano Zanin granted the extension nationwide, prompting an outcry from Flávio Bolsonaro, Lula’s opponent. CONSERVATIVE WAVE HITS ROADBLOCK IN BRAZIL AS LULA HOLDS OFF BOLSONARO CHALLENGE "What happened today was not normal. It was something frankly unacceptable. A Supreme Court justice, for the first time in history — a former lawyer of Lula’s — issues an order at the request of a former partner of his and changes the rules of the game in the middle of the game," Bolsonaro said in a statement. Notably, Bolsonaro's campaign also asked for an extension, citing heavy rain. Election experts in the country, speaking with local media, said the inclement weather and polling extension could provide grounds for a legal challenge to the election. "There is the possibility of requesting the annulment of the election. The deluge that fell in Santa Catarina and Paraná caused harm. The lack of buses and the restriction of public transportation in strategic cities, such as Salvador and São Paulo, harmed the right to vote," Guilherme Gonçalves, an attorney and member of the Brazilian Academy of Electoral and Political Law, told Brazilian outlet GZH. Another expert, while casting doubt on whether a legal challenge would ultimately succeed, said uncertainty over the election would continue. "It is difficult for it to succeed, but the point is that the [Supreme Court] contributed to the instability of the electoral process, which is serious," Guilherme Barcelos, an attorney with a doctorate in constitutional law and specialization in electoral law, told GZH. "The election does not end today. That is the point." In the meantime, several Republican figures back in the U.S. blasted the outcome. Martin De Luca, an attorney representing some of President Donald Trump’s media groups, accused Lula of benefiting from his political connections to the Supreme Court. "Yesterday Brazil showed the world that if you are losing an election and you need to turn it around, you can call on your former lawyer turned judge to give you a lift and you’ll still be congratulated by all who share the cause," De Luca wrote. Donald Trump Jr. echoed De Luca's criticism in a reply to his post. "If a conservative government in Brazil did this, everyone in the mainstream press in America would lose their minds, but I guess they’re just choosing to be silent because it’s all for the cause," Trump Jr. said. BLANCHE WON'T RULE OUT DOJ BLOCKING ELECTION CERTIFICATION IN 'DOOMSDAY' SCENARIO "Brazil did not have an election today. They had their country stolen from them by a criminal band of corrupt hacks who belong in jail," Joey Mannarino, the co-founder of the Overton Institute, a conservative-leaning think tank, wrote. During his campaign, Bolsonaro built momentum on promises to increase public safety by expanding prison capacity and drastically cut the size of government through a 25% reduction in government ministries — policies that many Democrats viewed as mirroring efforts by the Trump administration. By contrast, Lula has advocated for anti-poverty programs, minimum-wage increases and expanded assistance for low-income families. The platform drew praise from progressive groups including the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). "It is with tremendous pride that the Democratic Socialists of America congratulate President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Vice-President Geraldo Alckmin … and the coalition of progressive and leftists parties on their victory and re-election in Brazil’s second round of presidential elections this past Sunday," the group wrote in a press release. TRUMP'S WAR ON DRUG CARTELS COULD GAIN POWERFUL NEW ALLY AFTER PIVOTAL ELECTION "We commend the wide range of forces that joined together … to defend Brazilian democracy and secure this victory." Other prominent progressives also celebrated Lula’s victory as a triumph for policies aligned with their own. "Lula has stood up for Brazilian workers and democracy — and will continue to do so in the next four years," Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., wrote in a post to X. "People all across the world are fighting back against extremism. With Lula in Brazil, they just won," Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., said.

Let’s see what the Brewers need to do in order to win the game, and what the Rays need to do in order to counter.  The biggest key for the Brewers in this game is to see if their bullpen can keep their excellent pitching alive. Aaron Ashby has been lights-out, but the broadcast even brought up how the hitters have seen him multiple times now. Perhaps they can pick something up from him. So, maybe the Brewers need to adjust who he throws to, or who they use from the bullpen in general.  The Rays need to find a way to get a hit when they have a runner in scoring position. Tampa has been great this season, and while they’ve scored reasonably well, they seem like they can’t get that key hit to give them the lead they need. Even if the Rays get the lead, they will need to find the right matchups out of their own bullpen to keep the lead.  Which team will crack the code? The Brewers clearly have the upper hand.

Tonight will have a bit of extra intrigue because the Eagles are so banged up. The Cowboys are healthy, but haven’t looked much better than last season. Which team will come out on top in tonight’s Monday Night Football game? The Cowboys come into the game with a 2-4 record for the season. They started the year with a loss to the Giants, but then they beat the Commanders with ease in Week 2. The past four weeks have been a bit rough. They lost to the Ravens, beat the Texans, then lost to the Buccaneers, and Packers in back-to-back weeks.  The Eagles have an identical 2-4 record, but they started the year with two wins and have lost each of the past four weeks. They started with a win over the Commanders, and then they beat the Titans. The win against Washington was good, but the win over the Titans was a bit more questionable. In the past four weeks, they lost to the Bears, Rams, Jaguars, and Panthers. This will be the second week that the Eagles will be playing without Jalen Hurts. Can the Cowboys take advantage of the hurting Eagles, or will Philadelphia rally behind their backups and get the victory?  Betr is offering new users promo code FOXNEWS to earn $200 in bonuses and four sweat-free picks.  Cowboys vs. Eagles Odds Odds are subject to change Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adfb3aff04c506ce1c02be1 Data brokers don't just collect facts. They guess about you te 2026-10-26T20:10:23.080Z Data brokers don't just collect facts. They guess about you They know where you live. They may know your phone number, your relatives' names and roughly what your house is worth. By now, most people have at least a vague sense that data brokers collect personal information. What many don't realize is what happens next. Data brokers also analyze that information. They use algorithms, compare records from different sources and sort people into categories that predict their interests, circumstances and behavior. Those predictions can involve your health, finances, religious beliefs and potential vulnerabilities. WHY CAREFUL PEOPLE STILL END UP ON DATA BROKER SITES Some may be wrong. Others could reveal sensitive details you never intended to share. And depending on the company and the type of information involved, those profiles may be sold or shared with businesses you have never heard of. Here's a closer look at the labels data brokers assign to you, how they come up with them and what you can do to protect your personal information.

Data brokers do far more than maintain databases of addresses and phone numbers. Some build detailed profiles designed to help advertisers identify specific audiences. The Federal Trade Commission documented this practice years ago. Its investigation found that brokers combined information from multiple sources to infer sensitive characteristics, including income, religion, political views and health conditions. Acxiom, a major data company, developed a segmentation system called PersonicX that grouped households into lifestyle categories. One documented historical category was called "Rural Everlasting." According to the FTC, it described older adults with relatively low income and educational attainment. Other categories included "Urban Scramble" and "Mobile Mixers." These were classifications built from data, not personal descriptions written by the people involved. The FTC also documented how companies used location information to create even more specific advertising audiences. For example, InMarket offered audience categories such as "Christian church goers," "parents of preschoolers," and "wealthy and not healthy." The FTC subsequently restricted InMarket's use and sale of sensitive location data. Then there was Oracle's BlueKai advertising business, which helped advertisers use extensive consumer data for targeting. Oracle shut down its advertising products in September 2024. Still, its history illustrates how sophisticated this industry became. The important point is that a label doesn't have to be accurate to influence how a company views you. Want to see how much of your personal information may already be exposed? Get a free scan to find out what data brokers may have on you at CyberGuy.com. Some of these classifications sound harmless. Others are surprisingly personal. Here are examples of the information brokers have historically inferred or used to create consumer segments. Data broker research and enforcement cases have documented categories involving: A major concern is that these classifications can originate outside the medical system. HIPAA protects health information handled by covered healthcare organizations and their business associates. However, health-related information independently gathered or inferred by other businesses may fall outside HIPAA's protections. For example, searching for information about diabetes doesn't mean you have diabetes. You could be researching the condition for a family member. Yet advertising systems may still use that activity as one of several signals when building a profile. Other federal and state privacy laws may apply, but they don't necessarily provide the same protections as HIPAA. AMAZON ABOUT YOU MAY KNOW YOU A LITTLE TOO WELL Data companies have also offered categories based on estimated income, spending behavior and financial circumstances. These can include people classified as affluent, price-sensitive or likely to respond to certain financial offers. One particularly troubling example comes from the Justice Department's case against Epsilon Data Management. According to federal prosecutors, Epsilon used sophisticated modeling to identify consumers likely to respond to solicitations. The company sold information about more than 30 million Americans to operators of fraudulent schemes, including fake sweepstakes promotions. Epsilon agreed to pay $150 million as part of its deferred prosecution agreement. This is a documented example of consumer data being used to help fraudsters identify potential victims. Data brokers have also inferred people's religious interests and political leanings. These predictions may draw on information such as location patterns, purchases, public records and other available data. For example, the FTC documented the use of a "Christian church goers" advertising segment. A person visiting a church doesn't necessarily belong to that faith. Similarly, someone researching a political candidate doesn't automatically support that candidate. Nevertheless, profiling systems can use these signals to group people into audiences. Another category focuses on what may be happening in your personal life. Data companies have developed segments involving parents with young children, empty nesters and households at different stages of life. These classifications can help businesses decide what products or services to advertise. However, they can also reveal potential pressure points. Someone approaching retirement may receive different financial offers than a young parent. A household believed to be managing health expenses may attract another type of marketing. And when those assumptions are wrong, the resulting profile may still influence what someone sees. Consider what you've done online recently. Maybe you searched for joint pain relief. Perhaps you compared retirement plans or looked up treatment options for a relative. Individually, these activities might reveal very little. However, companies can combine information from websites, apps, purchase histories, public records and commercial databases. Then predictive models look for patterns. For example, a company may consider your age range, estimated income and browsing activity when deciding whether you fit a particular advertising category. These classifications are often called modeled attributes or inferences. They represent predictions rather than verified personal facts. And here's the problem: a company buying access to an audience segment may use the prediction without knowing how accurately it describes each person. Basic information helps a scammer contact you. More detailed personal information can help make the approach believable. For example, someone who knows your name and address could send a convincing-looking financial notice. Now suppose that same person also has information suggesting you're approaching retirement or researching medical expenses. A criminal could use those clues to tailor a fraudulent Medicare offer, investment pitch or fake medical service. This doesn't mean every scammer buys sophisticated consumer profiles. However, the Justice Department's case against Epsilon Data Management shows how targeted consumer information can end up in the hands of fraudsters. The company sold consumer data to operators of fraudulent schemes, helping them identify people more likely to respond. Meanwhile, the FBI reported that Americans age 60 and older lost approximately $7.7 billion to internet crime in 2025, up from $4.9 billion in 2024. While those losses weren't all connected to data brokers, the documented sale of targeted consumer lists shows how personal information can help criminals identify potential victims and make their scams more convincing. Finding every profile attached to your name can be difficult. Unlike a credit report, there isn't one centralized system where you can review all the marketing predictions companies have generated about you. However, some state privacy laws give residents rights to access, correct or delete personal information, including certain inferences. California provides one important example. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, eligible residents can request information held by covered businesses, subject to legal exceptions. California also launched its Delete Request and Opt-out Platform, known as DROP at privacy.ca.gov/DROP/, in January 2026. It allows eligible California residents to submit one deletion request covering registered data brokers. Those companies began processing requests in August 2026. Matching records, including inferences, generally must be deleted unless an exception applies. Other states have different privacy protections, so your options depend on where you live. IS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CHANGING WHAT YOU PAY ONLINE? You may not be able to eliminate every prediction about yourself. However, you can take practical steps to reduce how much personal information remains available. Here's where to start: Reducing publicly accessible personal information can make it harder for unfamiliar businesses and scammers to build detailed profiles. However, removal services cannot guarantee that every existing inference will disappear or prevent companies from collecting new information. I've warned you before about data brokers collecting your personal information, but I find the predictions they make about us even more troubling. Think about it. You could search for a medical condition on behalf of someone you love and end up in a category suggesting you have that condition yourself. Someone buying access to that profile may have no idea the assumption is wrong. And when personal information gets into the wrong hands, it can help scammers make their pitches sound much more convincing. What concerns me is how little most of us know about the profiles being built around our names. You may never see every label a company assigns to you, but you can start reducing the information available to build those profiles. I recommend checking what appears when you search for yourself and taking advantage of the privacy protections available in your state. A reputable data removal service can also help by automatically sending removal requests to data brokers and continuing to check when your information reappears. You won't disappear from the internet, but you can make it harder for strangers to assemble a detailed profile of your life. What would concern you more, a data broker accurately predicting something deeply personal about you or selling a completely false prediction as if it were fact?

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adfb3abf04c506ce1c02bd8 ROBERT F KENNEDY JR, DR. MEHMET OZ: 250 hospitals join the fight for healthier food te 2026-10-26T20:10:19.769Z ROBERT F KENNEDY JR, DR. MEHMET OZ: 250 hospitals join the fight for healthier food When Americans enter a hospital, they expect to receive care that helps them heal. They trust their doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to provide the best possible treatments and give them the greatest chance of recovery. Yet too often, the food our nation’s hospitals serve contradicts that mission. Patients recovering from surgery, living with chronic diseases, or managing serious medical conditions may be served meals in hospitals meals featuring highly processed foods, refined carbohydrates, added sugars, and other ingredients that do little to support their recovery. RFK JR HAILS FIRST US HOSPITAL TO PROMISE HEALTHIER MEALS: 'WE HAVE A TEMPLATE' It’s a contradiction that should concern every American. And it’s one we’re determined to change. Today, we announce that 250 hospitals across the United States have joined the Make Hospital Food Healthier Pledge, a nationwide initiative the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) launched to improve the nutritional quality of meals hospitals serve to patients and staff. AOC SAYS MAHA ADVOCATES' FIGHT 'ISN'T PARTISAN' AS SHE BLASTS HEALTHCARE SYSTEM FOR FUELING 'A TON OF ANXIETY' These commitments reflect a growing recognition among America’s healthcare leaders that food is an essential part of good medicine, and that hospitals should demonstrate that through the meals they serve. Under President Trump’s leadership, the Make America Healthy Again movement is fundamentally rethinking the role of nutrition in American healthcare. But transforming American healthcare requires more than changing federal policies; it requires changing the environments in which Americans receive care. Hospitals can help change those environments. They care for our most vulnerable citizens, educate millions of patients and families, and earn their communities’ trust. Nutrition is central to each of these responsibilities. For patients recovering from surgery, fighting infections, or managing chronic illnesses, proper nutrition can support wound healing, preserve muscle mass, strengthen immune function, and improve recovery. Malnutrition, by contrast, correlates with longer hospital stays, more complications, and greater healthcare costs. THIS AMOUNT OF DELI MEAT ASSOCIATED WITH HIGHER DEMENTIA RISK IN COMPELLING NEW REVIEW Hospitals also have an opportunity to teach patients habits that can improve their health long after discharge. Consider a patient who enters the hospital for complications of Type 2 diabetes. That patient may receive excellent medical treatment and counseling about the importance of healthy eating. But if the meals the hospital serves during their stay contradict that advice, what message are we sending? A hospital meal should reinforce the care plan, not undermine it. There are approximately 6,100 hospitals in the United States, collectively accounting for more than 35 million hospital admissions each year. The broader American healthcare foodservice market represents nearly $20 billion in annual economic activity. That’s extraordinary purchasing power. Hospitals are among the largest customers of major foodservice management companies, food distributors, and manufacturers. Their purchasing decisions influence which products suppliers develop, how suppliers price those products, and what becomes available to other institutions. Imagine what could happen if hospitals across America began sending a consistent message to their suppliers: We want more real food. We want healthier proteins, fruits, vegetables, and minimally processed ingredients. We want fewer products with added sugars and unnecessary additives. The food industry would have a powerful incentive to respond. As demand grows, suppliers can expand production, improve distribution networks, and invest in healthier product offerings. Larger purchasing volumes and more predictable demand can also create economies of scale, potentially reducing costs and making nutritious food more affordable. Other institutions could also benefit. The same foodservice companies supplying hospitals often serve schools, universities, workplaces, and other institutions. Improvements in their product offerings and supply chains could help make healthier food more accessible throughout American society. Hospitals could improve their patients’ health and help transform the nation’s food system. With more than 250 hospitals now participating, we’re beginning to demonstrate what health care institutions can accomplish together. We recognize that hospitals face real operational challenges. Hospital supply chains are complex, and patients have diverse medical and nutritional needs. That’s why the Make Hospital Food Healthier Pledge is voluntary and collaborative. We are not interested in Washington dictating hospital menus or second-guessing the clinical judgment of physicians and registered dietitians. Hospitals must retain the flexibility to meet patients’ individual nutritional requirements, including those who need specialized therapeutic diets or medical nutrition support. Our goal is to get hospitals across the country to improve the nutritional quality of their meals together. We are grateful for the partnership of the American Hospital Association and the many healthcare systems that have joined this effort. Their leadership demonstrates that change does not always require new mandates, complicated regulations, or additional administrative burdens. Sometimes, it begins with a shared commitment. Hospitals should be places where every aspect of the patient experience supports health and healing. The food hospitals serve on a patient’s tray should support that goal. Two hundred and fifty hospitals have already committed to serving healthier food. Now, we’re calling on the rest of America’s hospitals to join them.

'Nightcaps' is a daily column that catches you up on the biggest sports, news, and culture stories you may have missed while pretending to do work at your desk. It runs Monday-Friday on OutKick.com. Well, we're here, folks. The final week of October. It's an exciting time, right? Halloween in five days. The always enjoyable "Sports Equinox" tonight with all four major sports in action at the same time. Five if you want to count the WNBA. That's up to you, though. It's a fun time to be alive right now. That's my point. October is the best month of the year, and this is our final push until things get really hectic. I'd urge everyone to enjoy this week. Everything shifts gears in seven days. We've got an election next Tuesday. Yuck. That'll be miserable. More importantly (to me, at least), this is the final week until the holidays begin. And by that, I mean at midnight Saturday, everything shifts to Christmas. The commercials. The music. The department stores. It'll happen in the blink of an eye. You're gonna go to bed Saturday dreaming of Michael Myers, and wake up to insufferable Mariah Carey jamming her song down our throats. VOLS FANS SET NOISE RECORD AND TERRIFY ALABAMA'S KALEN DEBOER, TIFF ANN'S HALLOWEEN COSTUME & DANICA STUMPS! And there is NOTHING we can do to stop it. Nothing. So enjoy this week. I surely will. Let's roll. Welcome to a Monday Nightcaps — the one where Sophie Cunningham's cowboy hat at yesterday's F1 race fired up all the PATRIOTS across this great country. Sophie never misses. What else? I've got ESPN's Holly Rowe with an incredible idea for the WNBA Finals, I've got a legit question about Texas' field color on TV, and was Dan Campbell's decision to go for it on fourth down yesterday as insane as everyone thinks? I don't think so, and Dan's explanation after the game might sway you, too. It's a thinker! OK, grab you a pumpkin for National Pumpkin Day, and settle in for a Monday 'Cap! We still haven't gotten our pumpkins yet down here, but that'll be coming in the next few days. We can't just carve pumpkins and let them sit on our porch all month in Florida. They'd be rotten before breakfast on Day 3. As for my earlier rant on the upcoming holiday season ... Don't get me wrong, I love the holidays. I love Christmas (although Christmas Eve is the better holiday). I love the whole season. I just think it starts way to soon after Halloween. The radio stations all play Christmas music on Nov. 1. That's insane. Every single commercial has Santa in it all of a sudden. We go from Pumpkin Spice to Peppermint Mocha at every single coffee shop in America. There needs to be a two-week buffer, in my opinion. We wait all year for "fall," and then we're so quick to stuff it all back in the attic on Nov. 1 and jump right into winter. And don't even get me started on the disrespect towards Thanksgiving. That's a battle I've been fighting for years now. Anyway, the holiday season is always welcome here ... I just think it doesn't need to start on Nov. 1. Now, let's get this week started by welcoming Sophie Cunningham back to class! No need to have a two-week buffer for Sophie! "Yee MF Haw!" What a hat. What a message to send to the libs who absolutely lost their MINDS yesterday because big, bad Sophie Cunningham waved the flag at the F1 race in Austin. And yes, they completely lost their minds. Shocking, I know. Especially for such a level-headed group! Yet again the US races proving that F1 is still not a safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community with Sophie Cunningham waving the flag and Ted Cruz giving out trophies. Goodness, these people are just the best. They're the gift that "keeps on giving the whole year!" Wait. That's a Christmas movie quote! I just broke my own rule. Not yet! Respect Halloween. OK, let's get back on track and stay in the WNBA with ESPN's Holly Rowe, who has an excellent idea for where Game 6 should be held later this week: Problem solving…. Hear me out. Game 6 in Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz? Could we pack that out ATL???? @WNBA. I nearly spit out of my Maxwell House when I read that tweet this morning. I thought it was a fake account. I thought it was satire. It was not. Quick, show of hands: Who thinks a WNBA game could sell out Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which holds 72,000 people? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?! Come on. I know there's a lot of debate right now about attendance and ratings for these WNBA Finals. I don't care about either, because, frankly, I'm tired of talking about it. But if anyone here thinks a WNBA (!!!) game could sell out a 72,000 stadium, you're probably also setting aside room in your bank accounts for the $5,000 dividend checks from Trump. Ain't happening. I'm not sure the Atlanta Hawks could sell that stadium out, much less the Dream. Folks, Atlanta couldn't fill up Truist Park last month for the Braves' first two playoff games! And Holly thinks 72,000 people are showing up to watch the Dream? Wild take. It's so wild, I almost respect it. Almost. OK, let's rapid-fire this Monday class into a big HALLOWEEN week. First up? You know who had the Sunday Scaries yesterday? Lions fans. Take a look: Dan Campbell took A LOT of heat for that decision yesterday, and I was baffled at first, too. But I gotta say ... I get it. I agree with it! "I knew we'd get the ball back if it didn't work out," Campbell said after the game. He's right. Think about it. If Detroit punts the ball, Green Bay could very well march down the field, drain the rest of the clock, and kick a field goal to win the game. There's a good chance the Lions never see the ball again. It happens all the time. By going for it, you either A) get it and the drive continues, or B) don't get it, but give them a short enough field that you're pretty much guaranteed to get the ball back with a chance to win/tie. Detroit's defense is terrible. The offense is excellent. Dan rolled the dice and decided he'd rather have his offense end the game with the ball, one way or the other. Chess, not checkers! Finally, on the way out ... I've been thinking about this for years now, and it really came to a head this past Saturday ... Why is the turf at Texas' home stadium so gray for night games on TV? It's baffled me for decades now. So, here's the thing ... I know I dumped on the "alt-casts" last week, but I actually watched the second half of the Texas-Ole Miss game in the alternate "SkyCast" view Saturday night because a reader recommended it. I didn't hate it. Didn't love it, but it wasn't awful. I'd imagine coaches eat it up. Anyway, the field looked pretty normal in that broadcast. It was relatively green. I didn't notice it nearly as much as the regular broadcast. So, is this an ABC/ESPN camera issue? Is the field actually gray? I'm so confused. I know we have Longhorn fans in class. Please, let me know. And then, go have a big final week of October. What's the deal with Texas' field? Zach.Dean@OutKick.com.

Cowboys vs. Eagles | Monday, October 26, 2026 at 8:15 ET | Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, PA | ESPN The Eagles will play this game without Jalen Hurts, so they are already at a disadvantage. The Cowboys are known for throwing the ball repeatedly, but they will need to establish the ground game in hopes of getting a few more passing lanes open. Let’s take a look at the running games and opposing defenses for tonight’s game.  The Cowboys are not a running team. They have asked Prescott to throw the ball 246 times this season, compared to the team running the ball just 122 times, and 14 of those have come from Prescott. Javonte Williams is the primary back, and he does get a lot of goal-line work with seven touchdowns this season, but he isn’t a guy who will get a ton of yards at a time for the team. The Eagles are a fairly average running defense, so Dallas could have a chance to get the ground game going. The Eagles are a running team. They don’t really want to throw the ball, but perhaps with Hurts out, they will challenge that idea. Philadelphia has thrown the ball 200 times this season, and they’ve run it 134 times, but that has more to do with them playing from behind than anything. Saquon Barkley is one of the best running backs in the league, but he has played in just four games and had only 36 carries this year.  The Eagles have only scored four rushing touchdowns this season, but Dallas has one of the worst rushing defenses in football. It wouldn’t be much of a surprise to see the two teams look to establish themselves in the ground game.  New users should use promo code FOXNEWS350 to earn $350 in FanCash from Fanatics from a $20 wager.  Cowboys vs. Eagles Running Back Comparison Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adfaef2f04c506ce1c02af4 Underdog Promo Code FOXNEWS: Unlock Play $10, Get $50 Promo for Rays-Brewers World Series Game 3 te 2026-10-26T19:50:10.786Z Underdog Promo Code FOXNEWS: Unlock Play $10, Get $50 Promo for Rays-Brewers World Series Game 3 Game 3 of the World Series is tonight as the series shifts over to Tampa, with the Brewers leading 2-0.

The Rays have looked good too, but not quite as good as the Brewers. Tampa won’t be eliminated with a loss tonight, but they need to get a win to keep realistic hopes alive.  In Game 1, the Brewers took the lead early and never looked back. Milwaukee jumping out to an early lead was all that Jacob Misiorowski needed. The Rays did make the game close, and even had the tying and go-ahead runs on base late in the game, but they couldn’t get the run across the plate.  In Game 2, it was the Rays who took charge. Helped by an error, they put up four before the Brewers even came to bat. Unfortunately for Tampa, Milwaukee answered with two runs of their own in the bottom of the first. Milwaukee then scored a run in three different innings in three different ways. That allowed the Brewers to take the lead and win Game 2.  For Game 3 of the World Series, the Brewers need to just keep doing whatever they’ve been doing. They get timely hits, they work together, and never give up. The Rays have to find a way to get to the Brewers' bullpen, and they need to get a big hit at key moments.  Underdog is offering new users a chance to wager on the game and earn $50 in bonus bets.

Let’s take a look at how the teams have played each other over the years and who has won more games.  This is the 135th meeting between the two squads. Dallas has had the upper hand in the all-time series, and they are 75-59-0 against the Eagles, including four postseason games. The Cowboys haven’t done very well against Philly in eight games, going just 3-5. Dallas did win their most recent match, last November.  Dak Prescott has been successful against the Eagles in his career, going 10-5 against them, but he has only played against them seven times since 2020. He went 5-2 in those games. He has the upper hand today because the Eagles will be without Jalen Hurts, who is on the injured reserve due to blood clots in his lungs.  Tonight brings two teams each searching for a win and a path back to the postseason. Prescott and the Cowboys have struggled on the road, but the Eagles are without many key players tonight.  Underdog is offering new users a chance to wager on the game tonight with promo code FOXNEWS.

While there are plenty of storylines for the rest of the series, but most importantly for today is the matchup between the starting pitchers. The Brewers are sending out Robert Gasser to make his first start of the World Series. Gasser has made two appearances in the postseason, and both have been very good. Gasser has thrown nine innings, allowed just six hits and one earned run over the two starts. He has also struck out six hitters. He is not quite the power pitcher the Rays have had to face in the first two games, but clearly he’s been reliable. Tampa is sending out a former Brewer mainstay to the hill. Freddy Peralta will take the ball for Tampa, and this is his fourth start of the postseason. He has thrown 16.2 innings for the Rays and allowed just two earned runs. In his work this postseason, he gave up 12 hits and struck out 12 batters. He has also allowed seven walks. Peralta faced the Brewers earlier this season and allowed seven earned runs in 5.1 innings.  Tonight is Game 3 between Gasser and Peralta. Which team will get the edge as the Brewers look to go up 3-0, and the Rays try to get their first victory?  Fanatics Sportsbook is offering new users promo code FOXNEWS350 to earn $350 in FanCash from a $20 wager.  Brewers vs. Rays Pitching Comparison Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adfac94f04c506ce1c02a4d Dogs n Denim brings service dogs to Tucson runway te 2026-10-26T19:40:04.050Z Dogs n Denim brings service dogs to Tucson runway Twenty-five dogs and one cat will model denim coats handmade by University of Arizona fashion students Thursday. Dogs n Denim is a dog-themed fashion show that raises awareness about sustainability and the jobs service dogs perform for their handlers, with upcycled denim coats made by UA fashion students and modeled by service dogs and dogs with disabilities. Every fall semester since 2017, University of Arizona fashion students have put on the Dogs n Denim show. The seven-week course started with nine students and now has 30 students enrolled. Elizabeth Heuisler, an assistant professor of practice in the Fashion Industry’s Science and Technology major, started the show as a way to bring in more community and give students the chance to get out of the classroom. “The more you get a chance to apply that information ... when you get out there in the professional world, you’re ready for it,” Heuisler said. Dogs n Denim receives no funding from the school, and the denim for the dog coats is gathered through donations. Students also leave a box with the show’s information outside places like A Loyal Companion and Rescue Me Marana. In previous years, they’ve used classroom chairs to save money. This year, with $400 left over from last year’s show, they’ve been able to do more, including making trophies for the dogs. The class is split into several committees, including logistics, coat creation, merchandise and more, which work independently until it’s time to craft the show. Tucson Spotlight is free for every reader because donors make it possible. Join them. Students in the seven-week Dogs n Denim course turn donated denim into coats for service dogs. Lily Cottam / Tucson Spotlight. Blake Liddell, 21, a student on the coat creation committee, has a medical alert dog named Jack. During fittings, handlers and designers sit down together and discuss the vision for the piece. For Jack, they decided on a blackjack theme, and the coat will have two large dice sewn onto the side. Making sure handlers have something that represents the bond between them and their animals is crucial, as the coats are given to them afterward as thanks for their participation. The event also aims to highlight service dogs’ skills beyond companionship. One dog, Penny, was assigned to a veteran named Mario who has night terrors. Dogs can tell when someone with night terrors is about to have an episode and wake them. “These are things you can’t explain,” Heuisler said. “It’s just something the dog feels more than we do.” One year, Mario and Penny were in the show together, and the next year Mario was diagnosed with cancer. After he died in January, Heuisler reached out to his family to see if they’d still like to have Penny in the program. His daughter wrote back, thrilled. “I get choked up when I say this. His last wish was that his dog would go to another person who needs a service dog,” Heuisler said. In honor of Mario, the program will include a page called “Penny’s Page.” “It just makes you have a whole new outlook on what dogs do,” Heuisler said. Each year, the event exceeds Heuisler’s expectations. Her next goal is to collaborate with the theater department’s hands-on design classes. Students make the Dogs n Denim coats from donated denim, with each design tailored to the dog and handler who will wear it. Lily Cottam / Tucson Spotlight. She’d also like to find a way to secure parking passes for volunteers. “These people are coming and a lot of them are handicapped or have handicapped dogs,” Heuisler said. “I want to give them passes so they don’t have to pay because they’re coming here for the school event.” One of those volunteers, Sofia Ripstein, 20, is participating with her guide dog, Heather. Ripstein signed up after seeing a request for service dogs on Instagram. She and the designers decided on a pinkish theme to match Heather’s dog tag, one of Ripstein’s favorite colors. “I’m really excited to see what it’s about,” Ripstein said. “And see the other dogs and what they’re like, and see how Heather does.” Ripstein said Heather has always been good in crowds and she’s confident the guide dog will be up for her first “modeling gig.” Heuisler said finishing the show is bittersweet. She’s relieved to be done and able to relax, but she also gets to see the hard work pay off and knows it won’t be the same again. “I see the students, how excited they are, the handlers are so excited,” Heuisler said. “And I hear from people saying, ‘I never knew the dogs could do this.’” Dogs n Denim runs from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 29, at the McClelland Park Courtyard, 650 N. Park Ave. General admission is free and open to everyone, and guests can RSVP online. VIP tickets cost $10 and include front-row seats, a student-made denim tote bag and merchandise donated by local sponsors.

According to Winter Park, Florida, police, an official from the i9 Sports league called cops Saturday morning looking for help settling a "disturbance between league officials and the parents of a player." In audio obtained by the New York Post, league official Thomas Hayes tells a dispatcher that one of the parents was being "really, really disruptive."

I want to be done," Hayes explained, before adding, "Can you have someone quickly get here?" What caused the drama in the first place? Based on the reports obtained by the Post, it was Hayes who revealed that other parents were upset over the 3-year-old's playing time. The kid is too good. The report goes on to state that Hayes told the family that their son would no longer be allowed in the league based on their behavior during the "disturbance" and they'd receive a refund. Police say this is all out of their hands. They say this is now a civil matter. SAN FRANCISCO DAD QUESTIONED BY PARK RANGERS FOR TEACHING HIS OWN KIDS TENNIS AT PUBLIC COURT "The league requested the family leave and offered to refund the league cost to family. Shortly after arrival, the officers were requested by the league official to communicate with the family as he did not want to further a disturbance. The family stated the game was over and they were leaving," Winter Park police said in a statement.

Calls to the Winter Park office were unsuccessful and the league's mailbox was full.

There is one big problem: the game, a potential clincher for the team that wins Game 5 on Monday night, will be held at 12:30 p.m. ET. An afternoon game for a league finals series is interesting in and of itself, but for the 2026 WNBA season to potentially end in the afternoon on a weekday is less than ideal. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE The NBA’s Atlanta Hawks are scheduled to host the Cleveland Cavaliers at 8 p.m. ET now, agreeing to move their start time one hour from its originally-scheduled 7 p.m. tip-off that night in the second half of a back-to-back at State Farm Arena. That’s what caused the scheduling snafu, with Game 6 of the WNBA Finals originally set for 8 p.m. ET on Thursday. ANGEL REESE BLOCKS SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCER'S 'MARRIAGE PROPOSAL' AFTER WNBA FINALS GAME So, it appears the WNBA, wanting the much-larger State Farm Arena in terms of capacity (17,000) compared to the Dream's usual Gateway Center Arena home court (3,500), might not have had a choice of where to stage Game 6. The game will still air on USA Network and stream on Peacock. The Dream have been drawing sold-out crowds through these Finals, and as a result, the league has had to maneuver to ensure the most seats are filled in larger arenas. Game 3 was moved from Oct. 22 to Oct. 21 to avoid a concert conflict. Meanwhile, Game 4 was pushed to an afternoon tip-off, though it was this past Saturday to accommodate the Hawks’ home opener against the Houston Rockets that night. A weekend can be justified, but for a weekday to be an afternoon tip-off is mind-boggling even given the circumstances. The Athletic reported the Hawks could’ve moved their Thursday night game to Friday, however that would have created a Friday-Saturday back-to-back for both NBA teams. And the rescheduled matchup would’ve been on opening night of NBA Cup group play. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Then, there was the option of the Dream playing at their normal home in College Park, though thousands of fans wouldn’t be able to enter the arena due to the lack of seats. There were other Georgia-area arenas to think about, though, including Georgia Tech’s McCamish Pavilion and the Georgia State Convention Center, per CBS Sports. Angel Reese, who’s enjoyed a strong Finals performance thus far, did state her wish to stay at State Farm Arena if it could work. "The fan support here has been amazing, and we appreciate the love and support," she said after the Game 4 loss to the Valkyries, which tied the series at two. Reese might not have thought it would be an afternoon tip-off on Thursday, but she’ll be focused on Game 5 in San Francisco on Monday night before she, and the rest of the Dream, can worry about heading home.

Wendy Faustin, a pro-life sidewalk counselor challenging Colorado's so-called "bubble law," told Fox News Digital the restrictions prevent her from quietly offering women information about pregnancy resource centers, adoption agencies and other alternatives to abortion. "If you're within 100 feet of the entrance to an abortion clinic, I can't approach someone within 8 feet to give them any alternative information," Faustin said. Last July, a federal judge rejected her challenge to the Colorado law. Her case is currently on appeal at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit. CHRISTIAN WOMAN PLEADS NOT GUILTY TO NEW 'ORWELLIAN' CHARGES FOR STANDING AND SILENT PRAYER Colorado state law and a Denver municipal ordinance prohibit individuals from knowingly approaching within eight feet of another person without their consent to distribute literature or engage in protest, education or counseling within 100 feet of a health care facility entrance, including abortion clinics. Violations are classified as a petty offense, which carries with it a fine or even a possible short jail sentence. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld Colorado's 1993 law in its 2000 decision in Hill v. Colorado, ruling that the restrictions did not violate the First Amendment. The restriction, she said, forces her to speak from a distance about an intensely personal subject, potentially allowing others to overhear conversations she would prefer to keep private. "I would rather be able to just walk up to somebody, offer them alternative information, places where they can get help," she said. PRO-LIFE GROUP SAYS MAIL-ORDER ABORTION PILLS VIOLATE FEDERAL LAW, URGES TRUMP ADMIN TO TAKE ACTION "I believe that every woman who is facing this decision deserves to have all the possible information that she might need," Faustin said. "Sometimes she's feeling kind of backed into a corner by circumstances or maybe by other people, and she may not be aware that there can be help somewhere for her through a crisis pregnancy center, an adoption agency, and so that's all the information that I give is offering her information where she can get help and also information about the development of her baby." Her attorney, Roger Byron, senior counsel for First Liberty Institute, argued the dispute extends far beyond abortion and raises fundamental questions about the First Amendment. DOJ WEIGHS CIVIL RIGHTS PROBE INTO FORT WORTH POLICE OVER ALLEGED FIRST AMENDMENT VIOLATIONS "These laws literally make it a crime for Wendy to approach within 8 feet of a woman," Byron told Fox News Digital, describing restrictions he says would not survive constitutional scrutiny if applied to other forms of protest. "These laws would be struck down immediately if they restricted anti-war protesters or union workers on strike outside of their employer's facility," Byron said. "However, because they restrict pro-life sidewalk counselors, they do not. This decision, Hill versus Colorado from the Supreme Court and the statutes that it protects, make sidewalk counselors, because of their pro-life message, second-class citizens. It literally creates two First Amendments. An oppressive one for pro-life sidewalk counselors, and the real one, the good one for everybody else." TRUMP DOJ EXPANDS RELIGIOUS LIBERTY PROTECTIONS AFTER MAJOR SUPREME COURT RULINGS "What's at stake is the free speech rights of anyone whose message is something other than what the government wants it to be," he said. Byron said the ruling at the Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit will determine what happens next.  "I suspect either way, this case is going to end up in front of the U.S. Supreme Court," Byron said. Fox News Digital reached out to the office of the Colorado attorney general for comment, and a spokesperson said that the office has no comment beyond its filings.

Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who sources say is actually named Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, sent a menacing message on her public social media. "Less scrolling, more strolling. Enjoying our beautiful Minnesota lakes," the embattled congresswoman wrote on X in a post made at the end of last week. She attached a video of herself and her husband, Tim Mynett, walking on a dock over a lake with vibrant fall foliage in the background. The pair posed, smiled and appeared to chat as they serenely strolled across the dock, looking fondly at each other as the lawmaker running for reelection held a coffee. It ended with a montage of images from their walk. But a loud Somali hip-hop song accompanying the video told a much different story. ILHAN OMAR DOUBLES DOWN ON ‘REAL NAME’ WHEN CONFRONTED AT MALL OF SOMALIA "Let me reveal who I really am. No enemy dares threaten me, wherever I step, they scatter," the lyrics to the song say in Somali, according to a translation obtained by Fox News Digital. "They flee and stay far away. I have always been the source of their distress." The song, "Nimaan Ciilayba Icaaya," is by Ilkacase Qays, whose real name is Muse Abdikadir. His website describes him as a "U.S. based Somali singer, rapper and activist." The duet-style track features Somali singer Hodan Abdirahman. A cultural analysis of the song says it is "a powerful example of Somali lyrical poetry built around pride, bravery, personal dignity and unwavering trust in Allah." "A fool’s words carry no weight," the lyrics say. "Those I have angered now insult me. If the just one had felt anger on my behalf, would he not have crushed the enemy underfoot? With the strength the almighty has given me, If I draw on it late in the afternoon, by evening, I will have taught you a lesson." FEDERAL AGENTS RAID ILHAN OMAR’S DC HOME AMID IMMIGRATION FRAUD INVESTIGATION The analysis describes the artist as using "exaggerated imagery to ridicule his opponents, portraying them as people who would lose sleep, suffer humiliation, and even seek supernatural assistance out of desperation." "You go without sleep, overcome with anguish, weeping in spite," the lyrics continued. "You howl like a demon through the night, because you cannot match me! Swallow your anger and choke on it if the just one had felt anger on my behalf." Omar reemerged in Minnesota on Friday after nearly two weeks out of the public eye following an Oct. 12, 2026, raid on her Washington, D.C., home, conducted by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents. Press followed her intently as she cast an early ballot alongside state Attorney General Keith Ellison at a polling place in Minneapolis on Friday. The pair then appeared at the Karmel Mall of Somalia in Minneapolis, where they enjoyed lunch among members of the Somali community and posed for photographs. HOMAN SAYS ILHAN OMAR COULD BE STRIPPED OF NATURALIZATION, DEPORTED IF IMMIGRATION FRAUD IS PROVEN Later in the day, she posted the video to X. It is unclear when it was filmed. The Somali-born Minnesota lawmaker restricted who can respond directly to her social media post, with the only publicly facing comment being from ousted former U.S. House "squad" member Cori Bush, who wrote: "We love this." Omar is being investigated for potential fraud related to immigration paperwork filled out by she or her father when she was becoming a United States citizen. HSI is the main investigatory agency for the Department of Homeland Security (HSI). During the raid, Omar's passport and cell phone were confiscated by federal agents. Her sister, Sahra Noor, was interviewed by federal investigators in the wake of the raid. Federal agents have also obtained Omar's DNA, Fox News reported. If fraud is proven, Omar could be denaturalized, border czar Tom Homan said last week.

The mural was unveiled Oct. 7 and is the final piece of a three-part series of events, “Spaces for Solidarity: Honoring Lorraine Lee.” Funded by the UA’s Campus Sustainability Fund, the series is meant to encourage student well-being and resilience by combining outdoor excursions and histories of activism that tie together environmental and social justice struggles. “(We’re) very honored to bring (her) story to our campus, our community, and really uplift the really hard work that it takes to be in community, to build capacity, to work across communities and cultures, and really leave a lasting impact here in the city,” said Kenny Wong, a lecturer in the School of Landscape Architecture and Planning. Born to a father who immigrated from the Philippines and a mother who immigrated from Mexico, Lee was an environmentalist and activist who advocated for change in her community for more than 25 years. Described as outspoken, a lover of Tejano music and a foosball enthusiast, Lee began her advocacy in middle school. Her mentor at St. John the Evangelist Church, Sister Nancy, was involved with the United Farm Workers movement at a time when pesticide spray in the fields was affecting the health of Filipino, Chicano and Hispanic farmworkers. As a member of the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán, she protested and picketed for farmworkers’ rights. After attending Pueblo High School and receiving a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the UA, Lee earned a master’s degree in urban planning from the University of California, Los Angeles.

She grew it from a team of three to more than 80 organizers, helped develop three charter schools and established the La Causa Construction Company, which provided affordable single- and multifamily housing. In 2001, Lee was awarded the Maclovio Barraza Award for Leadership, named for her predecessor at Chicanos Por La Causa. She expressed her gratitude for the award in both Spanish and English. “Life hands us a lot of different battles, some by choice, some by desire and some by destiny. And it is looking at those battles that bring us forward, that we must move forward, each and every one of us, for what we do,” Lee said in a recording of her acceptance speech. “There are movements to take away our language, to take away our voice. And those of you who have heard, and not listened, you need to try a little harder … to give us the place that we always fought for … if you want to have us, you have to deal with us.” Lee also advocated for Tucson residents affected by trichloroethylene, known as TCE, a toxic solvent that leaked into the south side groundwater supply from nearby industrial sites overseen by then Hughes Missile Systems Co., now known as Raytheon. The neighborhood she grew up in was one of the areas affected by the pollution. She was appointed to the Pima County Board of Health by then-Supervisor Raúl Grijalva, later becoming president of the board. After Hughes agreed to pay a lawsuit settlement of $84 million on behalf of 1,600 residents affected by the TCE leak, Lee went to Grijalva and then-Mayor Thomas Volgy to advocate for a TCE Subcommittee at the board. She later became one of the chairs for the subcommittee, working alongside Manuel Herrera Jr. of the United Community Advisory Board, advocating in Washington for representatives to investigate the pollution. U.S. Rep. Adelita Grijalva recalls how her father, the late U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva, asked Lee to join all kinds of committees. Topacio "Topaz" Servellon / Tucson Spotlight. Lee died in 2007 after an 11-year battle with throat cancer. She was 51. The series also included a February panel of her mentees and loved ones and a commemorative hike on the hiking path named after her. “I think Lorraine did a lot of work because she, in her heart, knew that she didn’t have that much time. As of October 31 … it’ll be 19 years since we lost her,” said her widower, Alonzo Morado. “She never admitted that she got her cancer from the pollution that happened on the south side. Her family lived on Kentucky Street, just north of Irvington. She showered in that water, she drank the water, her parents planted plants and the vegetables [using the water]. It wasn’t important to her. What was always important was to serve her community, and so for that I’m very grateful that that’s who I married.” Ward 5 Council Member Selina Barajas was one of Lee’s mentees through Chicanos Por La Causa and credits her for where she is today. “I remember feeling very seen by her,” Barajas said. “She saw something in people before they could see it in themselves, and then she pushed them for their potential … she pushed our entire community, especially our Southside community, making sure that we fight for what’s right.” Barajas said Lee directly influenced her decision to pursue a master’s degree in urban planning at UCLA. “I credit Lorraine to this day. We even shared the same professor, Dr. Leo Estrada, who always would speak so highly of Lorraine when I would meet with him in his office,” Barajas said. “After spending 10 years in Los Angeles and gaining all that experience and knowledge, I still find myself asking, ‘What will Lorraine think? What will Lorraine do? And sometimes, how will Lorraine vote?’ That to me is the power of a mentor.” Artist Jenn Liv speaks by video at the unveiling of the mural, which pairs a Sonoran desert sunset with waves representing Lee’s fight against water contamination. Topacio "Topaz" Servellon / Tucson Spotlight. U.S. Rep. Adelita Grijalva was also present at the commemoration. “My dad, Congressman Grijalva, had a very special connection with Lorraine and bugged her to be a part of all kinds of committees, which she was very giving of her time all the time,” Grijalva said. “Lorraine’s legacy reminds us that community activism isn’t just participating in marches and protests. It is also what community activism looks like in building a home, building a school, protecting a neighborhood, mentoring young people, bringing people together, saying, ‘This community matters, and I’m going to fight for it.’ That was Lorraine.” The artist who designed the mural, Jenn Liv, is an award-winning Chinese Canadian-American freelance illustrator and educator, whose work has been featured in The New York Times, NPR and The Washington Post. She previously taught at the UA School of Art. The mural features a variety of figures to represent the Tucson community and a sunset that transitions into waves, which represent Lee’s commitment to advocating against water contamination. “Getting to know Lorraine Lee’s legacy, and getting to know such a wonderful, compassionate individual who did so much for the local Tucson community as a woman of color serving the Hispanic community …, and being an incredible member of the Asian community as well, it gives me a lot of pride and joy to have the honor and the responsibility of communicating her story,” Liv said. The mural was completed in June. “Love is not an easy feeling to put into words, nor is loyalty or trust or joy,” Morado said. “But Lorraine was all of these. Lorraine loved life completely, and she lived it intensely.” Topacio “Topaz” Servellon is a reporter with Tucson Spotlight. Contact them at topacioserve@gmail.com.

Absolutely, and now it's a must win. One way or another, everything could come to a head Saturday night in Los Angeles for a USC team coming off an embarrassing loss to Wisconsin in Madison. This was supposed to be the year for Lincoln Riley to have his team in the college football playoff and compete for a national championship. The pieces appeared to be in place, with quarterback Jayden Maiava leading an offense expected to rank among the Big Ten’s best. MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS: ARCH MANNING LIKES THE DISRESPECT, BIG 12'S DISASTER AND A CFP RACE IN DISARRAY Throw in a defense led by Gary Patterson, and the recipe for success was being put together inside the Trojans' football complex. Unfortunately for the USC fans that were praying for some type of return on investment after showing up on a weekly basis, sometimes in the blistering California heat, we are once again on the brink of total implosion for Lincoln Riley. And, the head coach had the nerve to sit at the podium after losing to Wisconsin and discuss a win at Penn State just two weeks prior. "You have to own it, this is the same team that played a way different brand of football at Penn State two weeks ago and we're very capable of doing that again in the coming weeks," Lincoln Riley said after the Wisconsin loss. "But we gotta do it, and it's gonna take all of coaches and players to do it, and that's what we're gonna do." Sorry, that isn’t going to make Trojan fans feel any better that you went on the road and beat a Big Ten team earlier in the month, then to turn around and lose to a Wisconsin team that was not on the same level when it comes to talent. A lifeless effort that saw the Trojans score just seven points in the game. Oh, and if USC fans wanted to feel even worse about the loss, Wisconsin passed for only 58 yards in the win over the Trojans. DAN LANNING BLASTS USC AFTER OREGON'S WIN, AS LINCOLN RILEY OFFICIALLY ENTERS HOT SEAT IN LA The reality is that this experiment feels all but over, and Ohio State could end up being the final nail in a coffin that has been in the process of being assembled for over a year. You wanna see things get contentious around USC? Have the administration get into a standoff with Riley and his agent over the reported $70 million buyout that USC would owe the head coach if he were to be fired. But in this era of college athletics, schools can no longer afford to sit around and pray it gets better. Okay, maybe Florida State can penny-pinch and hold off on firing Mike Norvell until they raise enough money by passing around the offering plate to boosters on a Sunday morning. Not USC, and not during one of the most chaotic times in college athletics. If Lincoln Riley could not win with Caleb Williams slinging the football, what makes fans think he can win now? COLLEGE FOOTBALL’S MEGA ROSTERS AREN’T DELIVERING A RETURN ON INVESTMENT AS LSU, TEXAS A&M AND OREGON PROVE We are also past the point of excuses. There is no conceivable reason why USC should have lost to a football team that passed for a total of 58 yards. And, there's no reason why the Trojans' season should come down to a game against Ohio State this weekend. Remember, the Trojans still have to play Ohio State, Indiana, Maryland and UCLA to finish out the 2026 season, and there is no wiggle-room for a loss thanks to that performance against Wisconsin. So, if things continue trending in the wrong way this weekend and Ohio State rolls into Los Angeles with a backup quarterback to beat the Trojans, it could be time for Lincoln Riley to finally waive the white flag. We all know he's a competitor, but leaving USC for a return to the Big 12 at a school like Baylor might not be the worst thing for a head coach who is hanging on by a thread at his current employer. It's either that or forcing USC to pay the buyout that will undoubtedly be mitigated in some form or fashion. And don't forget, these high-power schools can find a way to make the situation messy in the process. The Trojans have not won more than nine games since the 2022 season, where they finished 11-3. You think this is what USC donors had in mind when they signed Lincoln Riley to a lucrative contract that saw him leave Oklahoma? THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! That's an easy answer. Absolutely not, and I can promise you the Big Ten conference is thinking the same. AFTER YET ANOTHER INEXCUSABLE LOSS TO WISCONSIN, THE LINCOLN RILEY ERA AT USC LOOKS TO BE NEARING AN END A win against Ohio State on Saturday night would obviously keep USC within striking distance of the playoffs. But, they would also have to win out and beat UCLA to end the regular season, while also going on the road to Bloomington in three weeks to face Curt Cignetti's Indiana team that is still in the hunt despite a flaky offense. We have come to the old fork in the road in Los Angeles, and if USC doesn’t win this weekend against the Buckeyes, that highway could lead Riley straight out of California with a nice payday to make up for the embarrassing results he produced. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adfa0e4f04c506ce1c027d7 Obama judge rules Trump DOJ illegally fired James Comey's daughter, rejects sweeping Article II claim te 2026-10-26T18:50:12.841Z Obama judge rules Trump DOJ illegally fired James Comey's daughter, rejects sweeping Article II claim An Obama-appointed New York federal judge ruled Monday that the Trump Justice Department unlawfully fired former FBI Director James Comey's daughter Maurene, rejecting the administration's sweeping claim of executive authority and warning that its argument threatened the nation's constitutional balance of power. The Justice Department acknowledged in court filings that Comey's firing was not for-cause and was not based on her performance, but argued that the attorney general had the authority to remove her under Article II of the Constitution. "Defendants’ argument that [Constitution] Article II bars Congress from regulating the removal of AUSAs (assistant U.S. attorneys) flies in the face of nearly two centuries of Supreme Court precedent," Judge Jesse Furman wrote, adding that accepting the administration's argument would "unsettle the very equilibrium established by this nation's constitutional system." TRUMP’S FIRING POWER FACES TWIN SUPREME COURT TESTS, BUT ONE AGENCY MAY GET SPECIAL TREATMENT A DOJ spokesperson told Fox News Digital the department disagreed with the decision and will appeal it in "due course." Furman ordered Comey retroactively reinstated and awarded back pay through Dec. 20, 2025, when she accepted another job. While federal law gives the attorney general authority to fire assistant U.S. attorneys, Furman ruled that Congress placed limits on that power through the Civil Service Reform Act (CSRA), which generally requires cause for termination and procedural protections for government workers. OBAMA JUDGE HALTS TRUMP FIRING BID AS DECADES-OLD LEGAL AUTHORITY TEES UP POSSIBLE MAJOR REVERSAL The judge found that Comey's firing violated those requirements, noting that the government conceded her removal was not based on misconduct or poor performance and that she received neither advance notice nor an opportunity to respond. Comey had served about a decade in the prominent Southern District of New York, where she worked on some of the office’s biggest cases, including the prosecution of Ghislaine Maxwell – associate and rumored partner of Jeffrey Epstein — as well as the sex trafficking trial of rapper Sean "P. Diddy" Combs. Furman also recently rebuked the Trump administration during its efforts to deport pro-Palestinian Columbia University student activist Mahmoud Khalil, leading the federal government to argue for a change of venue to New Jersey. The judge, nominated in 2011, previously served as a federal prosecutor in the same Manhattan U.S. attorney's office where both Comeys worked during their careers. Furman's brother, Jason, served in the Obama administration as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers. James Comey served as the top prosecutor at SDNY early in the George W. Bush administration, where he investigated President Bill Clinton’s controversial pardon of financier Marc Rich as well as interior designer Martha Stewart. The younger Comey was the second in her family to be fired under Trump, after the president terminated her father as FBI director in 2017 during the Russia collusion investigation. The elder Comey later came under fire for posting a photo of seashells on a beach arranged to form the sentiment "86 47" – with critics saying "86" was a reference to killing something, such as in restaurant lingo, and "47" referred to Trump, the 47th president. Maurene Comey’s attorneys said in a statement to The Associated Press that their victory was "hard-earned" for both their client and all civil servants. SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER "As the court correctly held, to accept the government’s argument about unlimited executive power ‘would be to unsettle the very equilibrium established by this nation’s constitutional system.’ This decision reaffirms our bedrock system of checks and balances: the President is not above the law," they said.

Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., who unsuccessfully ran for the Democratic nomination for Senate in Michigan, told CNN's "State of the Union" that she broadly supports her state party's ticket for the coming midterm elections. "Look, I'm on the Democratic ticket. I can't say that I agree with everything that's gone on," Stevens answered. "I'm looking to be on the team to support my next governor, Jocelyn Benson, and frankly, these great Democrats who are working their tails off, who are going to make Hakeem Jeffries the first Black Speaker of the House." BERNIE SANDERS CLAIMS SOME DEMOCRATS MAY WANT THEIR OWN SENATE NOMINEE TO LOSE When pressed about El-Sayed specifically, she said, "Well, look, I would just say, if you had asked me if I'm still on the team, I'm on the team." But that was not enough for progressives, who promptly accused Stevens of undermining her fellow Democrat. "Ridiculous. For all the folks still pretending El-Sayed’s race is the same as [Roy Cooper’s] or [Mary Peltola’s], do they have former Dem rivals refusing to fully endorse them on national TV? ‘Blue no matter who’ was a hypocritical centrist lie and this hypocrisy may hurt Dems in 2028," Mehdi Hasan wrote on X, referring to Democrat Senate races in North Carolina and Alaska. Leah Greenberg, who leads the progressive activist group Indivisible, wrote, "It is late October and people are voting every day, if you cannot give a full-throated endorsement to the Democratic nominee who could be the key vote in flipping the Senate, then stay the f--- off television." MICHIGAN DEMOCRAT WHO LOST SENATE PRIMARY TO ABDUL EL-SAYED TAKES AIM AT BERNIE SANDERS OVER ISRAEL STANCE Former congressional candidate Kyle Blomquist accused Stevens of "practically fawning over Mike Rogers" and said "her only real ideological commitment is to zionism." Progressive commentator Emma Vigeland wrote on X, "There are financial and institutional incentives to remain on the side of genocide. Stevens is sabotaging El-Sayed on national TV, one week before the midterm, to protect her pocketbook and career over democracy." More moderate and establishment-friendly Democrats pushed back on some of the criticism. Strategist Lis Smith responded to Hasan, "People—Democrats, Republicans, Independents—clamoring to support the Peltolas and Coopers is actually a validation of their candidate quality! It’s good to have candidates people want to associate with and that should be a factor when assessing candidate quality!" El-Sayed edged Stevens out by just 1% in the Michigan primary earlier this year, after fellow Democrat Mallory McMorrow dropped out of the race. El-Sayed won 48.5% of the vote compared to Stevens' 47.5%, with McMorrow netting 4%. Stevens was notably the establishment-backed pick with support from top Democrats like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. El-Sayed is backed by "Squad" Democrats like Reps. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Fox News Digital reached out to Stevens for comment on the online backlash but did not immediately hear back. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adf9e8df04c506ce1c02792 Netanyahu fights for political future as Israel heads to polls with Iran threat looming te 2026-10-26T18:40:13.400Z Netanyahu fights for political future as Israel heads to polls with Iran threat looming Ahead of Israel’s Oct. 27 national vote, U.S. President Donald Trump issued a sweeping endorsement of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s reelection bid, calling him a "great warrior," an "even greater partner for peace" and an ally in the confrontation with Iran. The backing could give Israel’s longest-serving prime minister a boost ahead of the country’s first national vote since the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, massacre. The election is widely viewed in Israel as a referendum on whether to grant Netanyahu another term to pursue his war objectives, including disarming Hamas and Hezbollah and countering the nuclear threat from the Islamic Republic. In response, Netanyahu thanked Trump for his "extraordinary endorsement." "Together we will never let Iran’s regime get nuclear weapons," he said. TRUMP SAYS NETANYAHU NEEDS TO BE RE-ELECTED, OR ELSE US WILL HAVE TO 'FINISH THE JOB’ AGAINST IRAN ALONE Addressing the endorsement, Doron Spielman, international spokesman for the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office, told Fox News Digital that no personal or professional bond in the history of U.S.-Israel relations compares with the current partnership. "Israel and the U.S. have stood together as the two countries bearing the torch for the West, and that is a direct result of the incredible relationship between President Trump and Netanyahu," he said. He reiterated Netanyahu’s longstanding foreign-policy priority and central campaign promise: ensuring that Iran does not acquire atomic bombs under his watch. "Israel prefers to do this with the U.S., which has been our greatest ally and friend, and who has already entered the front with us twice. But already at the time of Operation Rising Lion, Israel showed that it was willing to act alone. Israel acted for over a week before the U.S. joined," he said, in reference to the June 2025 military mission against Iran. Israel’s longest-serving prime minister, with roughly 20 years in office, Netanyahu began his diplomatic career in 1982 as deputy chief of mission at Israel’s embassy in Washington, D.C. He served as Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations from 1984 to 1988 before entering politics with Likud. He became the party’s chairman in 1993 and was first elected premier in 1996. After losing the 1999 election, Netanyahu returned to government in 2002 as foreign minister and later served as finance minister. He returned to the premiership in 2009, serving until 2021 and again from late 2022. He is widely credited with liberalizing Israel’s economy and helping transform the country into a global high-tech hub. FORMER ISRAELI ARMY CHIEF GADI EISENKOT EMERGES AS NETANYAHU’S LEADING ELECTION CHALLENGER Netanyahu’s current political allies include Itamar Ben-Gvir’s Otzma Yehudit, Bezalel Smotrich’s Religious Zionism-Zehut, and the ultra-Orthodox parties Shas and United Torah Judaism. The newcomer Amcha Yisrael, led by Ofer Winter, could also join the bloc, although Winter is currently feuding with Likud over concerns that his party, which is hovering near the electoral threshold, could split the right-wing vote and potentially "waste" tens of thousands of ballots. According to most Hebrew-language media polls, neither Netanyahu’s bloc nor the opposition led by Gadi Eisenkot currently has a clear path to securing the 61 Knesset seats needed to form a government. If no candidate can assemble a governing coalition, Israel could head to another election, repeating the cycle of political instability that saw the country hold four national votes between April 2019 and March 2021. Dan Diker, president of the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, told Fox News Digital that any incoming government will face the same formidable security challenges as the current one, with few prospects for quick victories. "The major challenge in this election will be what Netanyahu discussed in terms of adjusting the national security concept to prioritize prevention. That means taking very serious, assertive and aggressive military counterterrorism and nonmilitary actions against our enemies," Diker said. The Israeli left, center and even far-right believe Netanyahu has failed to meet the expectations associated with his image as "Mr. Security," according to Prof. Tamar Hermann, a senior researcher at the Israel Democracy Institute. ISRAEL DRILLS FOR SURPRISE ATTACK WITH MASSIVE MILITARY EXERCISE AS EXPERT INVOKES 1973 WAR "He promised to topple the Iranian regime, he promised to dismantle Hamas, he promised to crush Hezbollah. None of it was achieved," Hermann told Fox News Digital. "He gave a green light to not punishing vigilantes in the settlements who act against Palestinians. He also gave too much to the ultra-Orthodox parties, giving up on the idea of universal conscription." Hermann said that Netanyahu’s current term has been his least successful, beginning with the judicial reform push, which triggered mass protests in 2023, and followed by the Palestinian terror attacks on Oct. 7. Netanyahu subsequently faced public anger over his handling of the hostage crisis, although, in coordination with Trump and his envoys, he ultimately secured the return of all the captives. "In the eyes of some, his legacy will be that he inflicted a huge disaster upon Israel in terms of what happened to civilians on Oct. 7 and the deterioration of Israel’s international image," she said. Michael Oren, a former Israeli ambassador to the United States, framed the upcoming election in terms of legacy and how Netanyahu will be remembered 50 years from now. "There are two types of leaders: leaders in history and leaders of history," he told Fox News Digital. "There are leaders who go into office and perform as best they can, and there are leaders who go into office and see themselves as transformative, as having a historical role like Abraham Lincoln, Roosevelt or Churchill. Benjamin Netanyahu belongs to this category." Oren said Netanyahu sees his mission as saving Israel from existential threats, foremost among them Iran, a goal he has yet to achieve. "He is willing to endure virtually limitless criticism and condemnation around the world, as well as mass demonstrations against him, to fulfill this one role," he said. "To understand that is to understand Benjamin Netanyahu: He is a leader of history."

The Tucson Symphony Orchestra is partnering with the American Composers Orchestra and the UA for EarShot Readings at Crowder Hall on Wednesday, Oct. 28, at 7 p.m. A Q&A session with the four featured composers will precede the concert, beginning at 5:45 p.m. While the event is free, tickets are required for entry and can be secured on Ticketmaster. EarShot Readings gives four early-career composers, chosen through a nationwide application process, the chance to work with mentor composers and hear their new pieces conducted by the Tucson Symphony Orchestra’s José Luis Gómez. The event will feature new pieces by the four composers, who worked alongside mentor composers Vincent Calianno, Jimmy Lopez and Dan Coleman. This is the third time in four years that the Tucson Symphony Orchestra has partnered with the American Composers Orchestra and the first time that the two are working in collaboration with the UA’s School of Music. “We are proud to provide a home for this concert, and excited to celebrate the creativity and innovation that will shape the next generation of American orchestral music,” said Lia Uribe, School of Music director, in a news release. EarShot Readings is open to composers who have had two or fewer pieces performed by a professional orchestra. There is no age limit, but applicants should be at the beginning stages of their careers. Applicants submit one work shorter than 13 minutes. If selected, composers rehearse a score with a professional orchestra and receive feedback from mentor composers, conductors and performers throughout the process.

Adam Harrington’s piece “Fireworks” draws on his first night on a Brooklyn rooftop after moving to New York City. Courtesy of Adam Harrington. Composer Adam Harrington said his piece “Fireworks” focuses on the moment of excitement he experienced after moving to New York City to earn his master’s degree in composition. “I wanted to describe the sights and sounds I felt the first night I went up to my roof in Brooklyn and observed the energy of the city. The shared association of these feelings presented themselves as fireworks in my mind,” Harrington told Tucson Spotlight. “This is an exciting and entertaining piece that I think everyone can find joy in.” Harrington’s selected piece earned a top prize at the Mostly Modern Festival’s orchestral competition in June 2025 and won NYC Orchestra Project’s first call for scores in February. “The opportunity given to me by ACO has meant everything to me. It is extraordinarily difficult to get opportunities to work with professional orchestras as a young composer and the opportunity given to my colleagues and I is almost a miracle,” Harrington said. “Fortunately I have had a few chances to hear my pieces by orchestras and it has been a wonderful experience every time.” Fellow composer Aidan Vass’ piece “Spilling” also aims to invite listeners to share in a specific feeling. As a child, he developed a mental mechanism in which he imagined himself turning into water and melting into the ground. “‘Spilling’ is a piece that reflects on this mental state, where motion forward is constantly driven by a desire to find states of low tension, which feels ‘hidden’ from the real world,” Vass said. “I’ve always had a fascination with very ‘organic’ musical gestures, meaning music where each moment is in some fluid continuity with the music that came before it. This creates the effect that the music is a ‘thing’ you almost interact with, instead of a traditional story you sit along for the ride on.” Vass said he has long been interested in the idea, but “Spilling” takes those organic gestures more literally than many of his other pieces. Aidan Vass’ piece “Spilling” reflects on a childhood habit of imagining himself melting into the ground like water. Courtesy of Aidan Vass. Vass’ music has been performed by a variety of soloists and ensembles around the world, including at Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Vatican. Vass is also the founder of Cleome, a non-AI generative music company. Both Harrington and Vass believe the program will bring newfound clarity to their work and study of music, since most of their time with mentor composers will happen in Tucson. David Vess’ piece “Perpetual Dream Machine” focuses on themes of endless spaces, dreams and extraterrestrial encounters. Originally written in 2024, the piece premiered with the New Conductors Orchestra in New York City in February. Marie Gabrielle Blix made her symphonic debut with her chosen piece, “Terra Fungorum,” in March 2024, performed by the Orquesta Juvenil Universitaria Eduardo Mata under Mark Kadin. Blix has composed scores for more than a dozen independent short films and has recently founded SUL, a music services company through which she develops collaborations with companies such as Disney and Netflix. EarShot Readings has been running for more than 35 years and has advanced the careers of more than 360 composers, according to the American Composers Orchestra. More than half report receiving a commission or performance as a direct result of the program. Each piece will be conducted by Gómez, who is celebrating his 10th season as music director of the Tucson Symphony Orchestra. Gómez has led performances at the Frankfurt Opera, Stuttgart Opera, the New National Theatre in Tokyo and many more. Since beginning to work with the orchestra, Gómez has worked to provide outreach activities, education projects and new commissions to help expand its range.

But even after more than three decades in the business, she's not sure she'd want to trade places with Ella Langley right now. Langley has spent much of 2026 rewriting the record books, with her smash hit "Choosin' Texas" making Billboard Hot 100 history. And while Clark couldn't be happier to see another woman dominating country music, she also knows that kind of success comes with a price. CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE FROM OUTKICK OUTDOORS "I would not want to trade places with her at all," Clark told OutKick OutDoors in an exclusive interview. In September, "Choosin' Texas" surpassed Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" to become the longest-running No. 1 song in Billboard Hot 100 history, logging its 23rd cumulative week atop the chart. Clark, who helped define country music's female-driven era in the 1990s with hits like "Better Things to Do" and "You're Easy on the Eyes," is thrilled to see Langley breaking barriers. But she wishes more women were enjoying that same level of success. "It's like women went from famine to feast all of a sudden, but it's not across the board," Clark said. "I wish there was more of that with other females as well. I wish it was spread out a little bit more as well." Watch Terri Clark's whole interview with OutKick OutDoors here: And although Clark believes women still have a long way to go when it comes to equal representation in country music, she's happy to see Langley leading the charge. "I'm just glad the person breaking all the records and shattering the glass ceiling is a female," Clark said. "I'm glad it's her, you know, and she's so good and she's so deserving." Clark also praised Langley's album, "Dandelion," and said the young star seems like a genuinely good person. "I often when I see her on Instagram and things, I often just want to give her a hug and ask her if she needs to go have coffee and talk because I can't imagine how she's navigating this," Clark said. "It's a lot emotionally and psychologically." Indeed, Langley's meteoric rise has come with plenty of unwanted attention. She's faced online backlash over resurfaced photos of her hunting deer in Alabama, while social media users have also scrutinized her perceived political affiliations and accused her of being an "industry plant" whose success was manufactured by the music industry. CHRIS JANSON HAS A MESSAGE FOR HUNTING CRITICS AS COUNTRY STARS FACE SOCIAL MEDIA BACKLASH None of those controversies was raised by Clark specifically, but they illustrate the kind of public scrutiny that can accompany sudden superstardom. The internet is always looking for ways to take you down. "That level of success is a blessing and a curse at the same time, and you gotta be able to manage both sides of that," Clark said. "And it takes a pretty special person to be able to do that. And I think she can." Clark has sold more than five million albums, earned 13 Top 10 singles and secured membership in the Grand Ole Opry. But despite her accomplishments, she's managed to hang on to something many superstars lose along the way: her anonymity. "I've always been able to go to the grocery store in a ball cap," Clark said. She pointed to country stars like Reba McEntire and the late Dolly Parton, whose fame makes ordinary outings considerably more difficult, and suggested Langley may now be experiencing something similar. "There are some people that, you know, their anonymity has been completely stripped from them, and they either have to embrace it, like I've seen some of them do so well, or it can destroy them." Clark isn't sure how she would have handled that degree of attention herself, especially in an era when social media puts celebrities under a microscope. "I'm not sure what would have happened to me if it had ever gotten to that level," she admitted. But at 58, Clark has found a pretty comfortable balance. She can still tour, make music and enjoy a successful career without sacrificing the simple pleasures of everyday life. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER "I'm very grateful to be able to go and make a living doing what I do, and still go to the grocery store, to still go to Bass Pro Shops, and then once in a while somebody will recognize me," she said. "But it's not anything at that level, which I'm grateful for." "I'm too boring and normal to be able to be that interesting to that many people."

Adam Schiff, D-Calif., accused President Donald Trump's Justice Department of trying to subvert elections through its lawsuit over Alaska's unusual Senate ballot, even as Republicans allege Democrats have propped up a Senate candidate with the same name as the GOP nominee to confuse voters. Sen. Dan S. Sullivan, R- Alaska, is running against Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., who has no party affiliation. State courts ultimately allowed the second Dan Sullivan to remain on the ballot. Schiff argued the Justice Department has no business stepping into a matter Alaska's courts have already settled. Republicans contend Daniel Sullivan entered the race to draw votes away from the incumbent and help former Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola — a claim the now- Senate candidate and her campaign deny. "They don't have standing to bring this kind of a suit. It's not the federal government's business to run Alaskan elections. It's Alaska's business to do that," Schiff told NBC News on Sunday. "They have already adjudicated this question, and the Justice Department knows this, but it just shows how complicit they are now in the Trump campaign to try to subvert the elections." ALASKA SENATE RACE’S ABSURD NAME PROBLEM GETS EVEN HARDER TO UNTANGLE Schiff has long been one of Trump's most prominent adversaries, serving as the lead House impeachment manager during Trump's first impeachment trial and later sitting on the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. The Burbank Democrat has repeatedly accused Trump of undermining democratic institutions and election integrity, making his attack on the Justice Department the latest volley in a yearslong political and legal feud. Schiff drew a comparison to Trump's efforts to challenge the 2020 presidential election, arguing that senior Justice Department officials at the time, including Attorney General William Barr refused to support efforts to overturn the results — while accusing current DOJ leadership of being willing to go further. "This time, with [Attorney General Todd] Blanche, they are all in on this disgraceful campaign," Schiff said, predicting the case in the Last Frontier has "no chance of succeeding." The allegations come as candidate Dan J. Sullivan of Petersburg received enough votes in Alaska’s unique primary system to appear beside Sen. Dan S. Sullivan, R-Alaska, on the general election ballot — along with Democratic challenger and former Rep. Mary Peltola. COURT KEEPS ‘DECOY DAN’ ON ALASKA BALLOT AS EXPERT WARNS RANKED-CHOICE SYSTEM CREATES VOTER ‘TRAPS’ State election officials initially disqualified the Petersburg Sullivan after raising concerns that his candidacy was intended to confuse voters, citing his requested ballot name, recent party registration and similarities between campaign materials. An Alaska Superior Court judge overturned the state's decision to disqualify Petersburg Sullivan, allowing the namesake candidate to remain on the ballot despite election officials' concerns about voter deception. The Alaska Supreme Court subsequently upheld that ruling, resolving the state ballot-access dispute, though DOJ is now pursuing a separate federal challenge in the event Petersburg Sullivan's candidacy could alter the election's outcome. TODD BLANCHE CHALLENGES DANA BASH FOR ONLY CITING PART OF CONSTITUTION DURING HEATED ELECTION CLASH Blanche’s DOJ filed suit last week after the state proceedings concluded, arguing that the namesake candidacy could mislead voters and seeking to delay certification if votes for Petersburg Sullivan could affect the result. The department's complaint, however, asks the court to prevent certification under a specific scenario: if incumbent Senator Sullivan loses but would have won had votes cast for Petersburg Sullivan gone to him instead. DOJ seeks to delay certification in that circumstance pending an investigation into whether voters intended to support the incumbent. Attorney General Todd Blanche defended the lawsuit Sunday, citing federal election law, while Schiff argued that the state had already adjudicated the dispute. "The sole purpose of his candidacy is to benefit the Peltola campaign by reducing the number of votes for Senator Sullivan," DOJ’s filing read in part, while also citing a letter from Alaska Division of Elections Director Carol Beecher alleging Petersburg Sullivan’s declaration of candidacy was not properly filed because it was not intended to declare an actual good-faith candidacy. GOP SENATOR, EX-HOUSE DEM EMERGE FROM ALASKA’S ‘JUNGLE PRIMARY’ DESPITE FAR-LEFT MEDDLING The filing also included a side-by-side comparison of Petersburg Sullivan’s dark blue campaign banner featuring a star and Senator Sullivan’s campaign banner featuring the Big Dipper — a reference to the constellation depicted on Alaska’s flag. When reached for comment, the DOJ provided Blanche’s defense of the suit, which highlighted that the agency does "not seek to stop any ballot from being cast or to stop the certification of Alaska's election." "This litigation seeks to ensure that after Alaskans cast their ballots, they are preserved in a manner so that only Alaska's governing officials have the information necessary to make a determination as to whether Alaskan voters were confused or mislead," Blanche said. "The lawsuit was written by Justice Department attorneys and the Department did not coordinate with any campaign or candidate, but rather relied solely on federal law." The case cited the National Voter Registration Act, which expressly identifies protecting election integrity as one of its purposes. When asked about the accusation from Schiff, the White House provided recent comments from Trump saying he "recommended" DOJ file the suit and that Petersburg Sullivan was put "up as a matter of confusion."

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adf9798f04c506ce1c02650 Commentary: A classroom-spending mandate could cost students with special needs te 2026-10-26T18:10:32.741Z Commentary: A classroom-spending mandate could cost students with special needs (Photo via Getty Images) What if a plan to increase teacher pay and improve Arizona schools actually hurts our most vulnerable population — our students with special needs? I’m a mom to a child with Down syndrome. I am also an educator with nearly two decades of experience as a teacher and school administrator in both district and charter schools. While the idea of mandating schools spend 60% of their money in the classroom in order to raise teacher pay sounds great — like most people, I agree that teachers deserve more money — the reality is that more state control over our local budgets is not the answer.  While Proposition 320 would impose that mandate, it would not offer one dollar more to school district budgets to increase teacher pay. Rather, it would mean that the state simply will expect them to adjust their budgets.  And how would they do that? By making cuts to critical components that are not “direct instruction” — things like special education services, transportation, facility maintenance, technology, nutrition services, fine arts and sports may experience budget cuts because they are not direct instruction.  The most concerning of those potential cuts would be to special education. GET THE MORNING HEADLINES. SUBSCRIBE Students with IEPs (an Individualized Education Program, which are required by federal law) receive specially designed instruction, usually in small groups of five or fewer students. Many also receive related services, such as speech therapy, occupational and physical therapy, and behavioral support.  With many districts reaching a staggering 25% of their students on IEPs, special education is a major expense. Schools can’t cut these services completely as long as students need them, but they can decrease the amount of support they give, or pack more and more students in these sessions. For example, instead of a student receiving speech therapy in a small group, they might receive the services in groups of a dozen or more students, rendering them ineffective.  Class sizes will increase, making the individual attention these students need, even harder to get. We also risk losing our seasoned and talented special education staff due to the increased student case load and additional demands on their time.  Another possible consequence: Bus routes may be cut, causing a student with special needs to be on the bus even longer. Many in rural areas already ride the bus for hours a day. Of course, special education isn’t the only place cost-cutting measures will be enforced. Here are other likely scenarios. Consider, a teacher in Arizona supplements her income with after school tutoring, mentoring new teachers, and sponsoring the yearbook club. These additional duties provide her with extra earnings, while providing valuable support to her school and students. Implementing Prop. 320 may allow her base pay to go up, while the stipends that she depends on are cut. Her total earnings are now less than they were the year before.  Cuts could be made to a school’s maintenance budget. Many of our Arizona schools are in desperate need of repair and remodel. With cuts to their budget, the quality of our facilities and pride in our schools will decrease. Many feel that the salaries of top administrators should be reduced. Reducing the salary of a few individual employees and spreading that money to the teachers of a district will not go far. And it will make it even more difficult for schools, especially rural ones, to recruit the qualified and talented leaders that every district needs. One current trend in American schools is a 1:1 ratio of students to student computers. As the world becomes even more technology-driven, schools have to stay current to compete and can’t move backwards. But that costs money, and districts will have much less budget flexibility to meet those needs under the requirement to spend 60% of money in the classroom. Vice principals, counselors, and school resource officers may be cut, leaving teachers without behavioral support and reducing the safety of our schools.   The public has put a lot of pressure on Arizona lawmakers to increase teacher pay and improve our schools, as well they should! But every school district has different needs, and more government control over each school district’s budget to impose a one-size-fits-all spending model is not the answer.  The actual answer is giving more money to our schools. Lawmakers could have done that. They chose to send Prop. 320 to voters instead. YOU MAKE OUR WORK POSSIBLE.

Bauza died Sunday from hypertensive cardiovascular disease, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. He was 46. Beginning in 2001, Bauza amassed more than 400 voice-acting credits in a career that gave voice to beloved characters in animated Looney Tunes series including "Puss in Boots," "Muppet Babies," "Avatar: The Last Airbender," and countless others. The voice actor's family confirmed his death on Instagram, but has not shared any additional details. HOLLYWOOD STARS WHO DIED IN 2026 Fox News Digital reached out to Bauza's representative. Bauza's early breakthrough came when he voiced Stimpy in the 2003 series "Ren & Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon," taking over the character previously voiced by Billy West. He became one of Hollywood's most recognizable voice talents, particularly for his work carrying on the legacy of legendary Looney Tunes performer Mel Blanc. "I’m a fan first when it comes to this franchise, this band of characters. Mel Blanc will always be the original gangsta, the godfather of voiceover," Bauza told Fox News Digital back in 2020. "He was the first voice actor credited on screen as a voice actor. They never did back in the day. And we’re talking about the ‘30s and ‘40s." GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE "So he really paved the way to show the importance of vocal performance, not an on-camera one. And the fact that we’re sitting here now talking about his performance just shows you how incredible, impactful and influential his sound is." Bauza's Looney Tunes work included feature films such as "Space Jam: A New Legacy" (2021), "The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie" (2024) and this year's "Coyote vs. Acme." Bauza won three Children's and Family Emmy Awards during his career. Beyond bringing Bugs Bunny to life on screen, Bauza had a deep appreciation for the character's roots and what made him so beloved by generations of fans. Reflecting on Bugs Bunny's signature personality, Bauza once explained how the character's unmistakable New York accent came to be. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS "And if you’re wondering where [Bugs Bunny] got that accent from, they say he’s a rascally rabbit," Bauza told Fox News Digital. "So [Mel] thought, he’s gotta be a tough character. And there’s no one tougher than a New Yorker, that’s what he said. He said it’s either Brooklyn or The Bronx. He mixed the two together, those accents. So that’s why he kind of has that street talk." "I think he represents the everyman, the every rabbit," he added. "He doesn’t have a lot of high demands in life. All he wants is a carrot and a nice afternoon where no one bugs him. And if you get on his bad side, that’s when you gotta look out. That’s when he becomes the trickster. But really, he’s just a simple rabbit, nothing to him. I think that’s why he’s so appealing. And I think that’s why when he gets in trouble, people want him to succeed." PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE With hundreds of voice-acting credits across television, film and video games, Bauza built a career introducing classic cartoon characters to new generations while creating memorable performances of his own.

While many voting in Tuesday's midterm elections in the Keystone State don't trust Democrats, they are willing to give them a chance to change the trajectory of the country on a myriad of issues — including affordability and rising prices, the Iran war and corruption in Washington, D.C. "I didn't say I trusted the Democrats," Tomas from Doylestown, Pennsylvania said when asked if he felt the opposition party would do better than the current one in power. "I'm just gonna vote for them because [Trump] is just taking us down the tubes." LEAVITT SAYS TRUMP IS DEFYING MIDTERM HEADWINDS AS HE BARNSTORMS COUNTRY Clay, another Pennsylvania voter, told Fox News Digital, "I don't," when asked why he trusts Democrats to tackle affordability better than Democrats. "The party that we're currently working with is so f – – –ed up, we might as well change it. I don't trust the Democrats though," he added. Voters in Delaware County and Bucks County were pressed on the issue of affordability and whether Democrats would be better equipped to address bringing prices down, particularly after inflation surged during former President Joe Biden's administration. "Republicans have showed in the past two years that they really have made things worse," Chris from Doylestown said when asked if he believes Democrats will bring down prices. "Gas is way up, the energy is way up, food's way up. There's nothing that's cheaper, so they can't argue that." "I mean, Donald Trump's in office, how much worse can it get?" he went on. "Telling me that it can get worse than this? It's the worst it's ever been. You think that by having... Democrats in office... that somehow it's gonna make things go even higher? I don't think so." The results in Pennsylvania will play a key role in the battle for control of Congress, with Republicans fighting to maintain their majorities as Trump works to rally voters behind Republican candidates. The outcome of the midterm elections, just eight days away, could have major implications for the remainder of Trump's presidency, with a Democratic takeover of either chamber threatening to complicate his efforts to push his agenda through Congress. FOX NEWS POLL: SQUEEZED BY COSTS, FRUSTRATED VOTERS TURN TO THE DEMOCRATS Many who spoke with Fox News Digital has more broad reasons for why they are voting Democrat in next week's midterms. "We have a mentally ill president," Nancy from Newtown Square, Pennsylvania said. "We have a ball-less GOP party who will not rein him in." "I am voting for the Democratic congressional slate," Tom from Media, Pennsylvania said. "I really think that Donald Trump has not been good for our country, and we sort of need to…slow down what he's doing." "I am voting straight Democrat," a voter Fox News Digital spoke with named Bill said. "And the reason why is because the Republican Party refuses to stand up to the fascist actions of Donald Trump." BERNIE SANDERS ADMITS DEMOCRATS FAILED WORKING-CLASS VOTERS ON ECONOMICS, DRIVING THEM TO DONALD TRUMP Another voter shared that affordability was not one of his concerns heading into the elections, instead citing issues more important to him such as handling immigration and the renaming of the Kennedy Center. He continued, "I'm concerned about things like ICE (Immigrations and Customs Enforcement). I'm concerned about the Kennedy Center. I'm very concerned about Ukraine. Those are the things which make me want to vote for the Democrats." Some blamed COVID-19 for being the reason that inflation was higher during Biden’s presidency, citing the inflation rate trending downward toward the end of his term. "No doubt about it Biden…overshot in trying to orchestrate the recovery from COVID. But he doubled down that despite his perceived errors with a Democrat in office, he believes the Trump administration’s policies pose larger threats to the nation. "I think that the Trump administration is doing more institutional changes in government that are going to be harder to overcome rather than just stopping spending money." Pennsylvania is home to several closely watched congressional races, including in Bucks County, where Fox News Digital interviewed voters. Cook Political Report recently shifted Republican Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick's, R-Pa., race against Democratic challenger Bob Harvie in Pennsylvania's 1st Congressional District from "Likely Republican" to "Lean Republican," signaling a more competitive contest as election day approaches.

Video from U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement's Victims of Immigrant Crime Engagement (VOICE) office showed Elizabeth Carter, the mother of William Carter, speaking to the Indian illegal immigrant semi-truck driver charged with killing her son and his newlywed wife. The couple perished in an Oregon highway crash in November 2025. "Hello Mr. Kumar, my name is Elizabeth Carter; I'm William Micah Carter's mother," she told Rajinder Kumar, 32, fighting back tears and emotion as he appeared to struggle to meet her gaze. "And I wanted you to know that I pray for you and your family, I know you didn't get up that morning planning to kill two newlyweds. And I know your family is going through something important too." ANGEL MOM PLEADS WITH HER PARTY TO 'GROW UP' ON IMMIGRATION AFTER NEWLYWED SON KILLED IN TRUCK CRASH The interaction took place at the passenger window of an ICE vehicle earlier this month as federal agents prepared to transfer Kumar back to Oregon state custody to face criminal prosecution. Kumar faces two counts of first-degree manslaughter and three counts of recklessly endangering another person in Deschutes County stemming from the fatal wreck. Kumar is accused of killing William Micah Carter, 25, and his wife, Jennifer Lynn Lower, 24, who had been married for just 16 days. The deadly collision occurred on Nov. 24, 2025, when Kumar allegedly jackknifed his commercial tractor-trailer across U.S. Highway 20, blocking both lanes of traffic. The couple’s Subaru Outback struck the semi, killing both passengers at the scene. WATCH: 'LIFELONG DEMOCRAT' ADMITS SHE IS ‘ASHAMED’ OF PARTY AFTER SON KILLED IN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CRASH Kumar was subsequently indicted by a Deschutes County grand jury. While he pleaded not guilty in state court, a jurisdictional battle erupted between federal and local authorities following his release. Court and immigration records show that Kumar entered the United States unlawfully near Lukeville, Ariz., on Nov. 28, 2022, where he was apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol and subsequently released into the country under the Biden administration pending removal proceedings. During that period, he was granted federal work authorization and later obtained a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) issued by the State of California. DOJ SUES CONNECTICUT, NEW HAVEN OVER SANCTUARY POLICIES: 'OPEN DEFIANCE' Following Kumar’s indictment in Oregon, ICE lodged an immigration detainer requesting that Deschutes County Jail notify federal agents before releasing him. County corrections officials declined to honor the federal detainer on April 2, and released Kumar into the community under Oregon’s state sanctuary policies. ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Seattle agents tracked down and arrested Kumar in connection with his immigration case on April 22, detaining him at the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma, Wash., while moving forward with federal removal proceedings. EXCLUSIVE: DHS HONORS ANGEL FAMILIES DURING NATIONAL CRIME VICTIMS WEEK, CALLS CRIMES 'COMPLETELY PREVENTABLE' ICE ERO Seattle announced it has returned Kumar to Deschutes County authorities to ensure he faces a local trial on the felony manslaughter charges before any deportation orders are executed. "Two Americans lost their lives, and their families deserve accountability," ICE ERO Seattle acting Field Office Director Julio Hernandez said. "ICE worked closely with law-enforcement partners to ensure Kumar is returned to state custody to answer for the serious charges against him. "This coordinated action protects the public, supports the victims' families, and ensures that an individual accused of these crimes does not evade justice." Department of Homeland Security officials confirmed that federal deportation proceedings remain paused while Oregon state prosecutors pursue the criminal charges against Kumar, with criminal trial proceedings pending in Deschutes County Circuit Court.

The Tennessee Department of Correction said that Jacob Allen Morley, 28, escaped the Northwest Correctional Complex in Tiptonville, Tennessee on Sunday. He was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted in 2025 of murdering Cody Birchfield three years earlier. Prison staff discovered Morley was unaccounted for around 11:30 p.m. Sunday and immediately conducted an emergency count and search of the facility, according to a Tennessee Department of Correction statement given to Fox News Digital. 'AMERICA'S MOST WANTED' FUGITIVE CAPTURED ON SAILBOAT OFF NJ COAST AFTER 20 YEARS ON THE RUN Security video showed Morley breaching a fence while still wearing prison clothing. Morley is described as 5 feet, 11 inches tall and weighing 240 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said he should be "considered dangerous," adding Morley is now on the state's most wanted list.

The allegations come after several countries in the region elected conservative leaders following the Trump administration’s decision to dismantle USAID and shift remaining foreign assistance functions to the State Department. "You have plenty of examples out there of how USAID was attempting to run its own foreign policy," U.S. Ambassador to Panama Kevin Marino Cabrera told Fox News Digital. BIDEN-ERA DIRECTIVE FOR DIPLOMATS TO PEDDLE DEI ON FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS SCRAPPED BY STATE DEPARTMENT Cabrera said USAID’s dismantling has allowed the State Department and U.S. Southern Command to work more closely with partner countries on disaster relief and recovery efforts. "When you look at a post-USAID world where we have forces from the State Department and U.S. Southern Command working together in Jamaica, Venezuela, Colombia and now Panama, they’ve had great success in responding to natural disasters," Cabrera said. AP POST ON USAID CUTS BACKFIRES AS CRITICS QUESTION TAXPAYER-FUNDED NEPAL TRANSGENDER JOBS "We’re focused on actual disaster relief and recovery. We’re not focused on these crazy agendas, like failed DEI policies that have nothing to do with foreign policy or disaster relief and recovery," he added. Cabrera also criticized what he described as a lack of leadership during the Biden administration, saying it allowed USAID to pursue programs that promoted left-wing causes in the region. TRUMP ADMIN'S PUSH TO SCRAP DEI IN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TAKES LANDMARK STEP WITH NEW HIRING RULE Eduardo Bolsonaro, a Brazilian politician and the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, made similar allegations in an interview with The Daily Signal earlier this month. Bolsonaro claimed that more than $60 million in U.S. taxpayer funds was sent to Brazil through USAID, the National Endowment for Democracy and the Atlantic Council to support organizations that combat what those groups describe as "right-wing misinformation." LATIN AMERICA’S CONSERVATIVE SHIFT FACES ITS BIGGEST TEST YET IN BRAZIL ELECTION Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has recently positioned his administration as a global champion of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), and has used high-profile international forums to criticize what he describes as a coordinated wave of right-wing disinformation." "This is foreign election interference," Bolsonaro told the outlet. "American taxpayer dollars were financing foreign censorship in the name of the left, which is completely contrary to why USAID was even created in the first place." Bolsonaro said President John F. Kennedy created USAID with good intentions but argued that the agency had since strayed from its original mission. "Unfortunately, under the Biden administration, ideological division and polarization diverted that initiative," he added. The Atlantic Council and the National Endowment for Democracy did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adf8bd8f04c506ce1c023ca Trump isn't done overhauling the White House — and his next move could hit the media where it works te 2026-10-26T17:20:24.903Z Trump isn't done overhauling the White House — and his next move could hit the media where it works President Donald Trump is considering giving the White House press corps the boot from its longtime briefing room — and has another use in mind for the space that doesn't involve the swimming pool he insists was never on the table. Trump said Sunday he is thinking about relocating reporters to make room for other White House needs, a day after suggesting the press could be moved to a "less obnoxious location." "I am not building a swimming pool in the White House Briefing Room, and never had any intention of doing so," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "I am thinking about moving the Press, and putting them in a different location, but I will use that location for very badly needed space." The president’s comments come after The New York Times reported on Oct. 20 that Trump had discussed replacing the White House’s James S. Brady Press Briefing Room with an indoor swimming pool. DAVID MARCUS: KAROLINE LEAVITT’S LASTING LEGACY IS OPENING THE WHITE HOUSE TO INDIE PRESS When reached for additional comment, the White House referred Fox News Digital to Trump's Sunday Truth Social post. In a separate Truth Social post published Saturday, Trump shot down reports he planned to build a swimming pool, insisting he would never consider doing "such a stupid thing." "There is a Fake News report out there that I am going to remove the White House Press Room and bring back the old Swimming Pool, which lies directly underneath," Trump wrote in the social media post. "Although I may move the Fake News to a less obnoxious location, the old swimming pool will never be brought back." TRUMP THREATENS TO ADD NY TIMES' 'TREASONOUS' IRAN WAR COVERAGE TO $15B DEFAMATION LAWSUIT The White House’s indoor swimming pool opened on June 2, 1933, following a New York Daily News campaign to raise funds for a pool for President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had polio and regularly swam in therapy pools at his Hyde Park home or at a rehabilitation center in Warm Springs, Georgia, according to the White House Historical Association. To meet the growing demand for television news, President Richard M. Nixon later arranged for a press briefing room to be constructed above the old pool. TRUMP BYPASSES MEDIA GATEKEEPERS AS GOV SANDERS REVEALS LEGACY OUTLETS ARE LOSING THEIR GRIP Trump touted the ongoing renovations to the White House during a rally in Florida last Friday, saying his administration is "building some beautiful things." He also personally paid to install two massive 88-foot-tall American flags at the White House last July.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adf8991f04c506ce1c02351 Michael Douglas doesn't 'feel bad' about affair revelations from 'before Catherine' te 2026-10-26T17:10:41.100Z Michael Douglas doesn't 'feel bad' about affair revelations from 'before Catherine' Michael Douglas gave a cheeky response when asked how his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, had reacted to his new tell-all, "One Helluva Ride." The 82-year-old actor's new memoir, published Oct. 6, contained revelations about his life, including his secret affairs with his former co-stars Kathleen Turner and Jeanne Tripplehorn, as well as his past cocaine use and struggles with addiction. During an appearance on the "Happy, Sad, Confused" podcast on the day of the book's release, host Josh Horowitz asked Douglas whether Zeta-Jones, 57, knew "everything" that he revealed in the book. MICHAEL DOUGLAS GETS EXPLICIT ABOUT HOW HE FILMED SEX SCENES BEFORE INTIMACY COORDINATORS "I'll be home to ask her because she just got the book two days ago. I told her this was all, as I say, B.C., before Catherine," Douglas said in the interview, which was published on Oct. 19. "And you know, we have a 25-year age difference, so I'm looking at some of these films, like with Kathleen, and Catherine would have been seven years old," he joked. "I don't feel bad," Douglas added. "I think she understands." In "One Helluva Ride," Douglas confirmed that he and Turner, 72, had an affair in 1983 while filming the hit 1984 romantic adventure movie "Romancing the Stone," a rumor they denied for over 40 years. At the time, Douglas was legally married to Diandra Luker, with whom he shares son Cameron, though he said in his memoir that they were separated when production on the film began, and they were both having extramarital affairs. Douglas recalled that he and Turner continued to deny rumors that they were romantically involved during production of the sequel and even years later when they reunited on "The Kominsky Method."  SALLY FIELD SAYS BURT REYNOLDS WAS ‘WONDERFUL’ BUT ‘FRIGHTENING,’ CLAIMS HE TRIED TO CONTROL HER CAREER The two told the public that while they "had amazing chemistry" and were "both tempted," they never acted on their feelings. "The truth is that during the production of ‘Romancing the Stone,' Kathleen and I fell hard for each other and began a relationship," he wrote. "It wasn’t a fly-by night affair; it grew naturally from how closely we were working together, how much pressure we were under, how much we respected and cared for one another, and how attracted we were to each other. Like every other guy in the world at the time, I was knocked sideways by Kathleen." PHIL COLLINS GETS FRANK ON MARRIAGE FAILURES AND LIFE REGRETS: 'I REGRET MY MARRIAGES FALLING APART' He noted that he and Turner kept their affair a secret for 40 years to protect Luker and Cameron. Douglas wrote that the two decided to end their relationship after Luker visited them on set with Cameron "and made it clear to her [Turner] that we were still married." After reports circulated about Douglas' admission, Turner said in a statement to People, "Good heavens, what a fuss about something 40 years ago! I love Michael, and I look forward to enjoying the book." SHARON STONE SAYS SHE 'NEARLY DIED' AFTER 'BASIC INSTINCT' OPENED THE DOOR TO HOLLYWOOD'S DARK SIDE Douglas also disclosed that he and Tripplehorn, 63, who was almost 20 years his junior, had an affair during the filming of their 1992 movie, "Basic Instinct." "The truth is, I fell very hard for Jeanne despite our nearly 20-year age difference," he wrote. "In fact, I was ready to officially leave my wife for Jeanne. I was crazy about her." Douglas recalled that his "relationship with Jeanne lasted through production," but that they "went our separate ways" once production ended. "But I will always think of her as an amazing actress and a truly terrific woman that I was very fortunate to spend time with," he added. 'CADDYSHACK' STAR MICHAEL O'KEEFE CLAIMS COCAINE WAS BUDGETED ON SET, ADMITS FILMING SCENES HIGH Douglas maintained that he and Luker were still separated at the time. Luker filed for divorce in 1995, and their split was finalized in 2000. Tripplehorn has not publicly commented on Douglas' memoir, though the actor previously said she approved of him including their relationship in the book. During an interview with Page Six, Douglas said, "I talked to her before I put it in the book," adding that "she was fine" with it. The memoir also explored Douglas’ struggles with substance abuse, his complicated relationship with his late father, Kirk Douglas, and Cameron’s battle with addiction. Zeta-Jones previously confirmed that she had not yet read "One Helluva Ride" during an Oct. 8 appearance on "Today." "As much as I love my husband, when I’m tired at night, I have no intention of reading about him. At all," she joked.

"But everyone else should [read it]," Zeta-Jones told the audience. "The book is called ‘One Helluva Ride,’ and I think everyone should hold on to their cowboy hats, because I think it is." During a subsequent appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," Douglas was asked if it "was for the best" that Zeta-Jones had not read his memoir. "Oh, yeah," Douglas quipped. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS In an Oct. 7 interview with Page Six, Douglas confirmed that he had already "talked" to Zeta-Jones about the book and expressed his confidence that she would be "very understanding." Douglas first fell head over heels for Zeta-Jones when she caught his eye in the 1998 movie "The Mask of Zorro." He went on to meet Zeta-Jones at the Deauville Film Festival in France. At the time, Zeta-Jones was aware of his reputation as a Hollywood womanizer and wary of starting a relationship with him. In his memoir, Douglas recalled that Zeta-Jones demanded monogamy, and he called five other women that day to end their relationships before committing to her. PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE The couple, who share the same birthday, Sept. 25, though 25 years apart, became engaged in December 1999 and tied the knot in November 2000. Douglas and Zeta-Jones, who are parents to son Dylan, 26, and daughter Carys, 23, separated in 2013 before reconciling eight months later in 2014. In "One Helluva Ride," Douglas wrote candidly about their separation and shared that he never gave up hope that they would reconcile. "I love Catherine in a way that I have never loved any other woman," he wrote. "She's my wife, my best friend, and my life partner. I could never lose her."

McCarthy took the field in Houston without wearing any eyeblack on his face. Typically, a player choosing not to wear eyeblack for a game wouldn't be newsworthy, with most folks not even picking up on the change, but there is both history and quite the story involving McCarthy and the eyeblack in this scenario. McCarthy has worn a hefty amount of eyeblack throughout his career, even dating back to his high school playing days at IMG Academy, and did the same throughout his three seasons playing at Michigan. There was a notable exception to the look during his time with the Wolverines, however, as he never wore the eyeblack when they were taking on Ohio State. OHIO STATE MOVES SENIOR DAY AWAY FROM MICHIGAN GAME IN AN EFFORT TO REMOVE 'DISTRACTIONS' As a football player at Michigan, McCarthy simply had to dislike Ohio State, but his hatred for the Wolverines' biggest rival ran a lot deeper. The former first-round pick was offered by the Buckeyes out of high school, but while reflecting on the recruiting process, he told The Athletic in 2019 that he felt like he was misled by Ohio State head coach Ryan Day about what his plans were for the quarterback room. Quarterback Quinn Ewers, the top-ranked recruit of the 2021 class, ended up at Ohio State along with four-star signal caller Kyle McCord.

McCarthy chose to take his talents to Ann Arbor and went a perfect 3-0 against the Buckeyes during his time at Michigan, making sure Day "could see his face after he kicked his a - -," according to his quarterback coach at Michigan. McCarthy is on record stating that he used to "love" the Buckeyes, but wanted to "kill them" after his recruiting process and landing at Michigan. As for McCarthy ditching the eyeblack for Sunday's matchup against the Texans, it's safe to assume it had everything to do with the quarterback on the other sideline, CJ Stroud, who attended Ohio State. The no-eyeblack look could not have been just some coincidence. Stroud never beat Michigan in his two starts against the Wolverines, and he's still winless against a McCarthy-led squad after Sunday's contest.

DEMS PUT ON BLAST OVER POLL THAT SHOWS RECORD-LOW PATRIOTISM IN US: 'TEAR OUR SOCIETY APART' Independents land between both sides, most frequently selecting honesty (34%), responsibility (32%) and integrity (31%), with only 15% selecting patriotism. Despite the large disparity between Democrats and Republicans on the value of patriotism, it was one of the most selected values that participants said they believed was shared by most Americans regardless of their political leanings. When given a list of 12 choices, 32% said they believed most Americans shared patriotism as a value, trailing only freedom at 38%. Those 12 values were: freedom, patriotism, service, kindness, respect, equality, fairness, responsibility, integrity, courage, honesty and humility. More than three quarters of Americans (76%) believed people shared at least one of those values regardless of politics, while 59% said at least two, and 46% said at least three. INDEPENDENT VOTERS AREN’T PICKING A POLITICAL TEAM, THEY JUST FEEL PICKED ON Beyond patriotism, the second-largest partisan divide emerged around equality, chosen by 44% of Democrats compared to just 10% of Republicans – a 34-point spread. Fairness similarly split the electorate, chosen by 34% of Democrats versus 15% of Republicans. The findings also reveal an age divide that mirrors the political split. Adults aged 65 and older are nearly three times as likely as adults aged 18-39 to say the nation needs more patriotism (32% vs. 12%). Despite the deep differences in priorities, the survey revealed broad consensus on political tolerance. Nearly eight in ten Americans (79%) – including 84% of Democrats, 81% of independents, and 72% of Republicans – said respecting different values matters more than sharing the same ones. Additionally, 70% of respondents said elected leaders must be willing to compromise across party lines, even at personal political cost. "Perhaps, then, the ultimate shared value is that Americans agree to disagree," the Gallup analysis concluded. The survey was conducted May 12–22 among a nationally representative panel of more than 3,000 U.S. adults.

But that's exactly what could happen next year. The billionaire behind SpaceX has made a remarkable promise. He says he'll give one share of his space company to every kid in America. We're talking about a potential giveaway worth more than $10 billion. Free SpaceX stock for kids sounds appealing, especially when you're thinking about your child's financial future. But before you start looking for a way to sign up, there are some pretty important details Musk has yet to explain.

NEW BOOK ON ELON MUSK EXAMINES THE BILLIONAIRE’S MIND, MOTIVATION AND MAKING LIFE MULTI-PLANETARY Musk recently announced on X that he plans to give one of his SpaceX shares to every kid in America in 2027. "Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America. This will be the first of many," Musk wrote. That's a sweeping commitment. SpaceX, which went public in June 2026, operates the Starlink satellite internet network and develops rockets for commercial spaceflight. Now Musk wants millions of American children to own a tiny piece of the company. The promise has already attracted attention because of its enormous potential cost. However, Musk hasn't provided a detailed plan explaining how the shares would reach families or which children would qualify. For perspective, SpaceX shares closed at $147.49 on Oct. 23. There are just over 72 million Americans under age 18. Using that closing price, giving every one of them a share would cost approximately $10.6 billion. For a family with two eligible children, that could mean roughly $295 worth of SpaceX stock based on the Oct. 23 valuation. Of course, that amount could change considerably by 2027. Stock prices rise and fall, and owning a single share offers no guarantee of future profits. Still, there's something intriguing about the idea of a child becoming an investor before graduating from high school. If SpaceX continues to grow, that share could become more valuable over time. On the other hand, families could also watch its value decline. The timing is especially interesting. Just one day before Musk made his announcement, artificial intelligence company Anthropic revealed a major philanthropic commitment of its own. The company behind Claude AI announced plans to commit 5% of its shares to a new Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, subject to stockholder approval. The fund could support nonprofit organizations or provide direct financial assistance to certain populations, including workers affected by AI-driven economic changes. The company also described a structure that could increase its contribution as its valuation grows, subject to future board decisions. Musk responded to Anthropic's announcement by recommending that companies give shares directly to the public. He then followed up with his own pledge involving SpaceX. This exchange raises an interesting question about the enormous wealth accumulating around AI. As technology companies become increasingly valuable, executives are facing greater scrutiny over how that wealth should benefit the public. SEN DAVE MCCORMICK: TRUMP ACCOUNTS GIVE ALL AMERICANS A STAKE IN PROSPERITY Under the Trump Accounts program, the Treasury Department began automatically enrolling eligible children in tax-advantaged investment accounts on Oct. 1. Parents or guardians must still claim and activate those accounts before managing them. A separate federal pilot program provides a one-time $1,000 contribution for qualifying U.S. citizen children born between Jan. 1, 2025 and Dec. 31, 2028. Families must make an election to receive that contribution. SpaceX President and Chief Operating Officer Gwynne Shotwell and her husband, Robert Shotwell, previously pledged to donate one SpaceX share to the Trump Account of each of more than 2 million children. Their contribution targets children ages 11 to 17 in areas with lower-than-average household incomes, with additional emphasis on communities near their home in central Texas. New Treasury regulations that took effect Sept. 30 also allow qualifying donations of publicly traded company shares into Trump Accounts. Under those rules, donated shares generally must be held for five years or until the account's special growth period ends, whichever comes first. Musk's proposal could potentially use this system, but he has not publicly explained the exact distribution process. That's an important unanswered question because Trump Accounts have established eligibility requirements and investment rules. Musk's announcement appears to cover a much broader population of children, although he has yet to define exactly who qualifies. A pledge this large naturally comes with logistical challenges. For starters, Musk hasn't clarified whether every child under 18 would qualify or whether the giveaway would be limited to U.S. citizens. It is also unclear how children would receive their shares. If the giveaway uses Trump Accounts, families would need to understand how eligibility and account requirements apply. If Musk chooses another distribution method, parents may need some type of custodial account to hold stock for a minor. But Musk has not identified a specific process for families to claim his promised shares. There are also financial questions. Would families face any tax consequences? Could children sell their shares immediately, or would restrictions apply? And when during 2027 would the transfers happen? For now, there's no confirmed application process for Musk's nationwide pledge. Parents should be cautious of anyone claiming otherwise. UKRAINE'S STARLINK RESTORED AS ELON MUSK CLAIMS KYIV VIOLATED TERMS OF SERVICE 'TO KILL PEOPLE' If you have children or grandchildren, this is certainly a development worth following. A free share of SpaceX could introduce young people to investing and give them a financial interest in a company developing space technology. But I'd encourage parents to be patient. Musk has not announced an official enrollment process for his proposed giveaway. That means you should be especially suspicious of websites or social media messages claiming you can already register your children for free SpaceX stock. We have previously reported on scams using Elon Musk's name to promote questionable products. A high-profile stock giveaway could provide another opportunity for impersonators to target families. Avoid sharing your child's Social Security number, financial information or other sensitive details with anyone promoting an unverified giveaway. For legitimate information about Trump Accounts, visit the IRS website at irs.gov/trumpaccounts directly. That official program already has an established enrollment process, but signing up for a Trump Account does not guarantee your child will receive a share from Musk's pledge. If SpaceX eventually announces a formal process, review the eligibility requirements and any account restrictions before participating. I've seen Elon Musk make some pretty ambitious promises over the years, but offering a piece of SpaceX to every child in America is certainly an attention-grabber. What interests me most is the idea of giving young people an ownership stake in a company helping shape the future of space exploration. There could be real financial value in that over time. Still, I want to see the details before getting too excited. A promise involving billions of dollars and millions of children deserves a clear explanation of how it will work. I also find the timing fascinating. With Anthropic making its own massive commitment to public benefit, we're beginning to see tech billionaires debate who should share in the wealth their companies create. I'll be watching to see whether Musk follows through and how much of that wealth actually reaches American families. Would you trust Elon Musk to give your child a financial head start, or do you think billionaires should do more than promise shares on social media? Let us know by writing to us at CyberGuy.com.

The victim was identified as Leanne Gregory, 36, of Nottinghamshire, England, according to The Telegraph. The drowning, which took place on North Bimini Island, was announced by Bahamian authorities last Tuesday. THOUSANDS BOOKED TROPICAL BAHAMAS CRUISE AND ENDED UP IN FREEZING CANADA INSTEAD The Royal Bahamas Police Force said that around 10 a.m. Tuesday, officers at the Alice Town Police Station were alerted to an unresponsive woman at the North Bimini Ferry Dock. The woman had been snorkeling with her husband and two sons when a "strong current" swept the children away, according to the statement. "In an attempt to rescue her sons, the woman was also swept away," police said in a statement.  "She was later rescued and transported to the ferry dock, where CPR was reportedly administered." Both children survived the incident, according to The Telegraph. NURSE IMPALED BY POLE DURING HIKE FORCED TO TREK 10 MILES FOR HELP: 'A FREAK THING' By the time officers arrived, they were told the woman had been transported to a clinic and pronounced dead by a local doctor "despite efforts to save her life," the report added. Authorities added that foul play "is not suspected at this time." "An autopsy will be conducted to assist in determining the exact cause of death," the report added. In a Facebook tribute, Gregory's husband, Nathan, called his wife of 22 years his "childhood sweetheart" and "soulmate," according to the BBC. The outlet reported that on a GoFundMe page, he said she held onto one of their sons until he was rescued, but she "didn't have the energy to save herself." "My boys had to witness something nobody should ever have to see of any age, but they know [their mom] died an absolute hero," Nathan Gregory said.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adf8018f04c506ce1c02140 GORDON SONDLAND: France is burning, Europe's broke, and the revolution it really needs isn't violent te 2026-10-26T16:30:16.673Z GORDON SONDLAND: France is burning, Europe's broke, and the revolution it really needs isn't violent Europe is in the streets. From Paris to Brussels, Milan to Lisbon, hundreds of thousands of citizens are protesting rising living costs, stagnant wages, unaffordable housing and deteriorating public services. In France, demonstrations have descended into burning barricades, looted businesses, and attacks on public buildings. Elsewhere, students, workers and frustrated families are demanding that their governments deliver the prosperity and security they have long promised. Most protesters are peaceful, but the unrest reflects a growing anxiety that Europe’s economic and social model is no longer delivering. The immediate grievances vary, but the underlying problem is more profound: too many European economies have become better at protecting yesterday’s arrangements than creating tomorrow’s opportunities. Excessive regulation, rigid labor structures, fragmented capital markets, and slow decision-making constrain the growth necessary to sustain Europe’s generous social promises. Europe has not run out of talent. It has made it unnecessarily difficult for talent to flourish. Having served as the U.S. ambassador to the EU, I have heard this firsthand from executives running the American operations of major European companies, particularly in Silicon Valley. Their message is remarkably consistent: they simply cannot innovate in Europe the way they can in the United States. These are Europeans describing the limitations of their own economic environment. They come to America because our ecosystem allows them to move faster, attract capital, take risks, recruit talent, and turn promising ideas into commercially successful businesses. FROM ARRESTS TO CRACKDOWNS, HOW EUROPE’S LEADERS ARE RESPONDING AS PROTESTS ROCK THE CONTINENT Think about the implications. Europe has extraordinary universities, brilliant engineers, world-class scientists, and sophisticated corporations. Yet many of those same corporations look to America when they want to push the boundaries of innovation. The problem is not imagination. It is an economic and regulatory structure that too often suffocates imagination before it can become commercial reality. There is another uncomfortable dimension to Europe’s predicament. For decades, the United States provided the military security umbrella under which European governments could devote comparatively modest resources to their own defense. While American taxpayers financed enormous military capabilities, many European countries concentrated more of their resources on generous pensions, health care, social benefits, and other domestic priorities. FRENCH CEO WARNS 'PURELY CHAOTIC' RIOTS PROVE THE COUNTRY HAS REACHED THE 'DEAD END OF SOCIALISM' Imagine if European governments had been required to spend 4% or 5% of GDP on defense throughout the past three decades. Would their social safety nets look anything like they do today? Perhaps Europeans would still have chosen extensive benefits, shorter workweeks and lengthy vacations. But those arrangements would have required far more difficult fiscal choices involving taxes, borrowing, spending and economic growth. American military power did not create Europe’s welfare state, but it helped make that welfare state easier to afford. HUNGARY AND POLAND DEFEND TOUGH MIGRATION POLICIES AS FRANCE REELS FROM VIOLENT UNREST The American security guarantee may also have distorted European perceptions of the threats themselves. When someone else bears much of the cost of protecting you, it becomes easier to discount the danger. Why acknowledge the full threat posed by Russia if doing so means telling voters they must sacrifice cherished benefits to purchase tanks, aircraft and missiles? Far easier for Europeans to conclude that Washington is exaggerating the danger, let America spend the money, and enjoy another three-hour lunch. Poland and the Baltic states have generally viewed Russia differently. But across much of Western Europe, American protection made strategic complacency easier to sustain. Now the defense bill is coming due. President Trump has pressed NATO allies to assume greater responsibility for their own security, and European governments have committed to substantially higher defense spending. Those commitments arrive just as their economies struggle to generate the growth necessary to finance them. FROM ARRESTS TO CRACKDOWNS, HOW EUROPE’S LEADERS ARE RESPONDING AS PROTESTS ROCK THE CONTINENT Europe needs an immediate regulatory reset, more integrated capital markets, flexible labor arrangements, faster permitting, affordable energy and an environment in which entrepreneurs can build global companies without crossing the Atlantic. Estonia’s digital government, Denmark’s labor flexibility, Ireland’s technology investment and Poland’s industrial development offer useful examples. What Europe lacks is not another commission or another report. It needs political leaders willing to confront the bureaucracies, vested interests and institutional inertia that prevent meaningful reform. Which brings us to America. We have our own protests, riots, economic inequalities, political dysfunction, and government bureaucracy. We are far from perfect, and we should never pretend otherwise. Millions of Americans struggle with housing costs, health care, education, and the fear that their children may not enjoy the opportunities they once expected. We have communities that feel abandoned, institutions that have lost public trust and political divisions that sometimes seem impossible to bridge. But America’s greatest strength has never been perfection. It is our extraordinary capacity for reinvention. Our system is built around the possibility of constant change. We experiment, fail, learn, improve and try again. Yesterday’s conventional wisdom becomes tomorrow’s obsolete business model. New companies challenge established giants. New technologies disrupt entire industries. Every generation has the opportunity to create something that did not exist before. That process can be messy, disruptive, and sometimes deeply unfair. But it creates something indispensable to a successful society: the belief that tomorrow can be better than today, and that individuals have the power to help make it so. This is the essential difference between American economic dynamism and the more rigid structures that constrain much of Europe. Our system does not guarantee success. It preserves the possibility of extraordinary success, and it gives people repeated opportunities to pursue it. COULD FRANCE'S RIOTS HAPPEN HERE? EXPERTS SEE PARALLELS IN SOCIALISM, IMMIGRATION — AND KEY DIFFERENCES Critics of American wealth inequality frequently point to our growing number of billionaires, and perhaps someday a trillionaire, as evidence of a system gone wrong. But the mere existence of extraordinary fortunes misses a fundamental point. The question is not simply how much wealth the richest American has accumulated. It is whether the next American, starting with little more than an idea, talent and determination, has a genuine opportunity to build something extraordinary. I want to wake up every morning believing the sky is the limit. I want every American to have that same opportunity. Not a government-imposed ceiling on ambition, not a predetermined limit on success, and not a tax system designed to punish exceptional achievement simply because it is exceptional. Why take the risk, invest the capital, work the extra hours or pursue the seemingly impossible if government has already decided how much success is enough? AMERICANS WARNED ABOUT PARIS TRAVEL AFTER VIOLENCE, LOOTING AND TEAR GAS-FILLED STREETS None of this means ignoring inequality. An economy in which wealth and power become permanently concentrated, established businesses suppress competition and children born into poverty have little realistic prospect of advancement would betray the very principles that make American capitalism work. Government has an essential role in enforcing the rule of law, protecting competition, providing education, maintaining a functioning safety net and ensuring that opportunity is not reserved for those who already possess wealth or influence. But there is an enormous difference between government creating the conditions for opportunity and government attempting to dictate economic outcomes. America should respond to Europe’s difficulties with neither arrogance nor indifference. A prosperous, innovative and militarily capable Europe is essential to our own security and economic interests. We should encourage European reform, welcome European investment and insist that our allies assume a greater share of their defense responsibilities. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION At home, however, we must be careful not to import the very economic rigidities Europe is struggling to escape. We should resist the temptation to address every imperfection with another layer of regulation, another barrier to investment or another policy that makes entrepreneurship less rewarding. We should instead ask a simpler question of every major economic policy: Does this make it easier or harder for Americans to work, invest, innovate, start businesses, change careers and recover from failure? And we must make sure that the promise of advancement remains credible. That means better schools, affordable housing, competitive markets, access to capital, effective public institutions and opportunities extending far beyond a handful of prosperous technology centers. America’s protests remind us that economic growth alone cannot sustain public confidence if too many citizens believe the system is closed to them. Peaceful dissent must be protected, violence must be rejected and legitimate grievances must be addressed. A dynamic economy cannot remain politically stable if large portions of its population lose faith in their ability to participate in its success. The answer to inequality is not to suppress exceptional outcomes. It is to prevent inequality from becoming permanent exclusion. The American dream was never a guarantee that everyone would become wealthy. It was the conviction that nobody’s future had to be dictated by the circumstances of their birth. The measure of a successful society is not how effectively it limits the fortunes of those at the top, but how convincingly it keeps the door open for those who aspire to join them. Europe’s unrest should serve as a warning about what happens when expectations grow faster than the economy’s capacity to fulfill them, and when political institutions become better at protecting yesterday’s arrangements than creating tomorrow’s opportunities. America’s greatest asset is not the wealth it has already accumulated. It is the wealth, discoveries, industries and opportunities that have yet to be created. Europe needs to rediscover economic possibility. America needs to protect it. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM AMB. GORDON SONDLAND Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adf8017f04c506ce1c02137 Trump's brutal Truth Social attack on Bill Maher after dinner sparks confusion online te 2026-10-26T16:30:15.170Z Trump's brutal Truth Social attack on Bill Maher after dinner sparks confusion online President Donald Trump set social media ablaze on Sunday night with a lengthy Truth Social post slamming HBO host Bill Maher on the heels of a recent dinner between the two of them, leaving onlookers baffled at the sudden about-face.  Trump hosted Maher for dinner at the White House earlier this month, marking the second time they have dined together. Afterward, Trump told reporters that the HBO comedian was "great," and that it was a "was a very informative dinner," but the president changed his tune on Sunday night.  "Let’s talk about this COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSER, Bill Maher. He’s got a Low Rated Show on equally Low Rated HBO, which was once, long ago, a Network of Quality and Excitement — But that’s all gone. It’s not 'HOT' anymore!" Trump wrote. Trump also described his past relationship with Maher's "Club Random" show producer Chuck Labella from his days on NBC's "The Apprentice," claiming that LaBella would frequently encourage Trump to appear on Maher's show. BILL MAHER CLAIMS DONALD TRUMP FELT 'BETRAYED' BY HIM WITH 'SILLY' FEUD AFTER CORDIAL 2025 DINNER "When I became President, I agreed to meet, after the first one, and the last one, but never agreed to do his show, which he wants me to do, DESPARATELY [sic] — It won’t happen! When I have watched the show, which isn’t often, it always ends with dishonesty, about me at least, but, who cares?" Trump wrote. He described LaBella and singer Kid Rock arguing in favor of inviting Maher to the White House for a meeting in what ultimately became their April 2025 dinner, though Trump claimed Maher "invited himself." The president also wrote that Maher was in worse condition during their more recent meal.  "Also, I wanted to tell Bill that he’s a major POTHEAD. He’s got to stop, it’s very bad for his health. He looked like hell this time. Bill was drunk and had alcohol in his hand as he walked through the White House. Stephen A. Smith and Kid Rock came along with him. Overall, I thought it was a good meeting. It didn’t last four hours, it lasted two hours, maybe less, and everybody was happy. We have the timestamps. I learned nothing, and felt it was a waste of time," Trump wrote. Trump claimed that since their second dinner, Maher's show has become "worse" than before and implored Maher and his team not to reach out to him again in the near future. TRUMP HOSTED A DINNER WITH – WAIT FOR IT – STEPHEN A SMITH, KID ROCK AND BILL MAHER "There were so many other falsehoods Bill spewed, but I won’t waste time in FACT CHECKING him. He isn’t worth it. Bill: Don’t call anymore. It’s useless, and tell Chuck LaBella not to call so much, and say how much you love 'TRUMP,' and want to get together, because you’re a hopeless guy, who is just trying to cater to your small group of 'fans.' You’re also a coward who is afraid to tell the truth about how well our Country is running because of your few 'fans,' and how badly the Dumocrats have done, almost destroying the U.S.A," Trump wrote. He concluded, "You’re not transformative, you’re a Loser! I never watched your show much, but I will never watch it again, because it is nothing more than FAKE NEWS that America, and the World, is unfortunately subjected to." When reached for comment, the White House pointed Fox News Digital back to Trump's Truth Social Post. Maher did not immediately respond to a request for comment. It was the longest post Trump has ever sent, according to CNN.  Comedian Tim Young — the Heritage Foundation’s media fellow — feels there is only one explanation for the 1,300-plus word takedown.  "I watched Bill Maher’s show this weekend and can’t figure out what set off Trump more than usual. Maher always regularly criticizes Trump," Young told Fox News Digital.  THE FEUD BETWEEN TRUMP AND MAHER IS HEATING UP AGAIN AS HBO HOST RESPONDS TO THE PRESIDENT’S LATEST DIG "Maybe it’s that Trump watched a full episode for once because Karoline Leavitt was on and realized just how much Maher criticizes him," Young continued. "That’s the only thing I can think happened. The president was friendly and didn’t realize just how much Maher takes cracks at him because he has never seen a full episode until now." Many others took to social media with thoughts on the lengthy post, with supporters basking in the takedown. Some pointed out that Trump casually noted he might move the press to a different location, while others were irked the president would spend so much time bashing a television host.  Maher has previously defended meeting with Trump against liberal critics during the opening monologue of his HBO show "Real Time." "You know what? F--- you. I like these dinners," Maher said Friday. "You can hate me for it, but I’m not a liar. Trump was gracious and measured," Maher said. "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."

Raman, a Los Angeles city councilwoman and DSA member challenging incumbent Mayor Karen Bass, defended the two labels when Michaelson pressed her about capitalism and the organization's political positions. "I am a capitalist, and I'm also a democratic socialist," she told CNN's Elex Michaelson. "I want the city to work and when the government is doing its job, it needs to work really effectively, and we need to make sure capitalism works without harm to workers, without worker exploitation, without exploitation of poor people.

Perhaps she was in a fugue state when she agreed to co-govern with the DSA who proudly proclaim their desire to expropriate private property and to abolish the police," Hoge said. The Los Angeles Times reported Saturday that DSA national leadership was considering action against the Los Angeles chapter's endorsement of Raman over accusations she doesn't fully support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement targeting Israel. At a forum last month, according to the LA Times, Raman referred to BDS as a "legitimate form of peaceful protest" without explicitly saying she supports the movement. Lisa Cusack, president of the Don't LA My Burbank PAC, criticized Raman's affiliation with the Democratic Socialists of America, pointing to the organization's communist roots and its current political program advocating greater worker control over private industries. "The founder of DSA-LA, Dorothy Rea Healey, was a longtime leader of the California Communist Party in California," she told Fox News Digital. "Her autobiography is titled: 'A Life in the American Communist Party.' The current Democrat Socialist Program for Los Angeles states, 'Capitalists extract massive profits by stealing the surplus value of working-class labor.'" She claimed the program's mantra involves organizing to rebuild worker militancy, expanding union density, dismantling the gig economy, and asserting democratic worker control over municipal and private industries. "This is who Nithya Raman will be expected to co-govern with. When people tell you who they are, believe them," Hoge said. 'DSA JIHADI': LA MAYORAL CANDIDATE TORCHED AFTER DEFENDING 'GENOCIDE' COMMENT DURING JEWISH FORUM Raman's remarks contrasted with the DSA's official description of democratic socialism, which calls for replacing capitalism with an economic system in which workers exercise greater control over businesses and major industries. The organization explicitly rejects capitalism in its explanation of its political philosophy. "Capitalism is a system designed by the owning class to exploit the rest of us for their own profit. We must replace it with democratic socialism, a system where ordinary people have a real voice in our workplaces, neighborhoods, and society," the DSA states on its website. DNC CHAIR KEN MARTIN DEFENDS 'BIG TENT' STRATEGY WHEN PRESSED ON DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS Raman's latest comments also marked a change from how she answered the same question during a July interview with Michaelson. At the time, she declined to directly identify herself as a capitalist, instead emphasizing the existing economic system and the responsibilities of local government. When Michaelson asked whether she considered herself a capitalist, Raman acknowledged the economic structure under which Los Angeles operates. "You know, we are in a capitalist system. It's a city government," Raman said. CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE Michaelson also asked Raman whether she supported abolishing police departments, prisons or the U.S. Senate. She rejected all three proposals. When Michaelson pressed her on how she reconciled her political affiliations with those disagreements, Raman defended the ideological diversity within the organization. "I don't, you know, I think democratic socialism is a big tent," she said. "The DSA is a big tent organization, and I'm in part of that tent and I think a lot of Angelenos are in that tent with me." Fox News Digital reached out to the DSA, Raman and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for comment, but did not immediately receive a response. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adf8013f04c506ce1c02125 Democrats far less likely than Republicans to prioritize patriotism as key value, poll finds te 2026-10-26T16:30:11.952Z Democrats far less likely than Republicans to prioritize patriotism as key value, poll finds Democrats are far less likely than Republicans to prioritize patriotism as a core value the nation needs, marking the single widest partisan divide in a new survey examining the country’s values. According to a Gallup and With Honor survey released Sunday, 46% of Republicans ranked patriotism among the top three values the nation needs most, compared with just 6% of Democrats – a 40-percentage-point difference that dwarfs every other ideological disagreement in the poll. "Democrats are far more likely to say the country needs equality, fairness and kindness, while Republicans are far more likely to say the country needs responsibility and patriotism," according to Gallup. ONLY 27% OF DEMOCRATS WILL DISPLAY AMERICAN FLAG ON JULY 4: POLL Overall, Americans on a broad-scale view honesty (34%), responsibility (32%) and integrity (31%) as the values most urgently needed. Beneath that surface, though, the parties see starkly different remedies for what is most needed in the nation. STUNNINGLY LOW PERCENTAGE OF ADULTS IN US THINK AMERICA STANDS ABOVE EVERY OTHER NATION: POLL Republicans place the highest priority on patriotism (46%), followed by responsibility (41%) and honesty (38%). Democrats as a whole valued equality highest (44%), followed by fairness (34%) and honesty (32%). DEMS PUT ON BLAST OVER POLL THAT SHOWS RECORD-LOW PATRIOTISM IN US: 'TEAR OUR SOCIETY APART' Independents land between both sides, most frequently selecting honesty (34%), responsibility (32%) and integrity (31%), with only 15% selecting patriotism. Despite the large disparity between Democrats and Republicans on the value of patriotism, it was one of the most selected values that participants said they believed was shared by most Americans regardless of their political leanings. When given a list of 12 choices, 32% said they believed most Americans shared patriotism as a value, trailing only freedom at 38%. Those 12 values were: freedom, patriotism, service, kindness, respect, equality, fairness, responsibility, integrity, courage, honesty and humility. More than three quarters of Americans (76%) believed people shared at least one of those values regardless of politics, while 59% said at least two, and 46% said at least three. INDEPENDENT VOTERS AREN’T PICKING A POLITICAL TEAM, THEY JUST FEEL PICKED ON Beyond patriotism, the second-largest partisan divide emerged around equality, chosen by 44% of Democrats compared to just 10% of Republicans – a 34-point spread. Fairness similarly split the electorate, chosen by 34% of Democrats versus 15% of Republicans. The findings also reveal an age divide that mirrors the political split. Adults aged 65 and older are nearly three times as likely as adults aged 18-39 to say the nation needs more patriotism (32% vs. 12%). Despite the deep differences in priorities, the survey revealed broad consensus on political tolerance. Nearly eight in ten Americans (79%) – including 84% of Democrats, 81% of independents, and 72% of Republicans – said respecting different values matters more than sharing the same ones. Additionally, 70% of respondents said elected leaders must be willing to compromise across party lines, even at personal political cost. "Perhaps, then, the ultimate shared value is that Americans agree to disagree," the Gallup analysis concluded. The survey was conducted May 12–22 among a nationally representative panel of more than 3,000 U.S. adults.

And as the most curious calls went against the Packers, it doesn't surprise that team's postgame media session was replete with a withering review of the poor officiating work – led by safety Xavier McKinney who called the officiating "bulls–t." Yes, McKinney should expect to be fined for sharing his opinion, but he definitely got his money's worth during a one-minute rant on one controversial call in particular. NFL'S DUMBEST MOMENT OF WEEK 4 GOES TO A REFEREE NOW ON THE MOUNT RUSHMORE OF ANGRILY JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS "I don't know how the NFL [is] going to treat it, but I'm not a big fan of the refs right now," McKinney told reporters in the locker room. "I don't think it's great officiating if I'm being completely honest. I think it's bulls–t a lot of the times." McKinney pointed to an obvious third-quarter situation in which Detroit Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was wrapped up in what seemed like a tackle, but because he was on top of his tackler, he apparently decided he wasn't actually down. So, St. Brown got up and going as if the play wasn't dead. There had been no audible whistle. So, defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt tackled St. Brown. While these hijinks were going on, St. Brown's leg whipped upward and hit approaching umpire Terry Killens Jr. in the groin. Killens Jr. went down and proceeded to throw a flag while on his back. Unnecessary roughness on Wyatt. SEAN MCVAY SAYS NFL HAS ADMITTED OFFICIALS MADE MAJOR MISTAKE THAT PROBABLY COST THE RAMS A LOSS VS DENVER The Lions used the penalty to draw closer to an eventual touchdown that gave them a 17-14 lead. "I think there are drives where they make calls that don't even make any sense," McKinney said. "We tried to get him down and then their player hit the ref and he falls. He gets mad on the ground and he just throws the flag. He don't even know who hit him. "So it's just like, it just be bulls–t that's going on, bulls–t calls." Yes, fine incoming because the NFL has a strict policy that says public criticism by players or club employees of game officials or officiating is prohibited and may result in a fine and/or suspension. That includes comments in press conferences, interviews, broadcasts, livestreams and social-media posts. The league can discipline someone when the criticism concerns a specific call or the general quality of officiating. NFL REVIEWING INCIDENT AFTER LINE JUDGE JEFF SEEMAN APPEARED TO HURL PROFANITY AT CARDINALS' TREY MCBRIDE But the discipline isn't the major point. The questionable officiating is. The NFL has had something of an officiating problem this year. The league recognized that when it suspended two officials in separate incidents Oct. 5. Also, penalty flags are near a historical high. And while commissioner Roger Goodell said last week that more flags does not necessarily equate to bad officiating, the league is concerned at some level. The league recently told officials to stay away from holding calls on the backside of plays, but the plays that draw attention have been a concern. NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent last week discussed the suspension of the two officials and said the league is currently dealing with "the consequences of a grievance" filed by referee Adrian Hill, who was suspended for one game for the manner he dealt with a player while unaware of the circumstances behind his reaction after being knocked down. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! NFL'S MOST DEBATED WEEK 3 CALL HAS PEOPLE WONDERING HOW TO DEFY GRAVITY WHEN HITTING PATRICK MAHOMES Killens Jr. seemed to find himself in a similar circumstance as he lay on the turf while throwing his flag. Packers coach Matt LaFleur treaded carefully about the officiating at first, but left no doubt he was unhappy his team was penalized when there was no clear whistle to end the play. "There was no whistle blown, and the guy continued to run, and our guy didn't hear a whistle. He continued to play too, and then we get called for a penalty," LaFleur said. "So, I don't know. They were trying to tell me the play was obviously dead. I'm like, 'How do you know if you don't hear a whistle?'"  Referee Alex Moore didn't hear a whistle, either. But in a pool report after the game, he stated the play was over as if it was a known fact to everyone. "We ruled that the play was over," Moore said. "I can't honestly hear if there was a whistle or not, but the tackler made the tackle, the play was over. Then, there was an additional action, and he basically tackled him again with force after the play was over." This was the most controversial call in a game with multiple questionable calls, several of them resulting in eyebrow-raising flags against the Packers for roughing the passer. Defensive tackle Karl Brooks, who was called for one of those roughing penalties, declined to speak with reporters after the game. He's one of the few Packers players victimized by questionable calls on Sunday that knows he's not going to fined by the NFL for ripping the officials.

College Football owns Saturday, and Sunday is taken over by the NFL. That's not a complaint, but it does overshadow a bit of the other stuff happening, like the beginning of the hockey and basketball season. And, more importantly, the World Series. Tonight brings us Game 3 of the World Series between the Brewers and Rays. The Milwaukee Brewers are going to win the World Series. I really don't think there is any way to look at this series other than with that view. Their bullpen has been ridiculously good, and their offense has gotten key hits at every turn. Whenever they do give up runs, the team almost immediately responds. I genuinely believe that the Brewers could've lost to the Padres, but this team never says die. Whenever another team does get the best of them, they don't step on their throat. Milwaukee just keeps themselves alive at every turn. Tonight, they look to get one step closer to their first-ever World Series trophy. The team is sending out Robert Gasser to the mound in hopes of delivering them a good start. Gasser went 5-5 in the regular season with a 3.87 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP. In the postseason, he has allowed just one earned run on six hits and two walks over nine innings. Gasser has only faced Liam Hicks from the Rays, and he has held Hicks to no hits in the two at-bats. BREWERS RALLY PAST CHAOTIC LATE-GAME REPLAY, PREMATURE CELEBRATIONS TO WIN FIRST WORLD SERIES GAME IN 44 YEARS The Tampa Bay Rays have to win tonight's game. There is no chance in my mind for them to win the World Series if they go down 3-0. I already said I think this series is over anyway. It isn't that Tampa is playing all that poorly; it is just that the Brewers are playing that much better. The Rays took advantage of the mistakes from Milwaukee in the first inning of Game 2, but Milwaukee kept chipping away at the lead. The Brewers scored two runs in the bottom of the first and then just kept scoring a run at a time over the course of the game, eventually winning 5-4. Tampa's bullpen was fine-ish in the game, but Drew Rasmussen wasn't good enough. Tonight, the Rays turn to a former Brewer, Freddy Peralta. I've brought this up a ton, but the most impressive thing about Milwaukee over the years is how they improve by removing their best player. Peralta was a mainstay in their rotation for years, but they shipped him to New York over the offseason. He didn't have a great year and was traded to the Rays. He has been awesome in the playoffs for them. He has pitched 16.2 innings in the playoffs and allowed just two earned runs. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Peralta will need to be elite today if the Rays want to get a win. However, the Brewers rocked Peralta in the lone start he made against them this season. He was with the Mets, and it was in Milwaukee, so perhaps there were some emotions. He went 5.1 innings, allowed seven earned runs on eight hits, and struck out six hitters. I like both teams in this one, but I'm not fading the Brewers at this point. Milwaukee has been amazing this postseason, and their bullpen has been unhittable. Give me the Brewers at -101.

District Judge David Barlow on Friday dismissed a case the Department of Justice brought against Utah Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson, a Republican, demanding that she turn over state voter data. The administration sought to compel Henderson, the state’s top election official, to hand over a complete list of Utah voters, including their names, birthdays and addresses as well as their driver's license numbers or the last four digits of their Social Security numbers. The Justice Department’s defeat in Utah is one of more than 25 voter-roll litigation defeats the Trump administration has suffered since beginning its campaign to address alleged illegal voting. TRUMP-APPOINTED FEDERAL JUDGE TOSSES DOJ LAWSUIT SEEKING ARIZONA VOTER DATA Federal lawyers initially sued Henderson, arguing that the Civil Rights Act of 1960 requires her to make certain voting records that "come into" her possession available for federal inspection. Barlow, however, cited a ruling from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals that found "an ordinary English speaker would not say that she has come into possession of something that she created, established and maintained," a reference to the broad dataset the DOJ was seeking to obtain. The DOJ countered that line of argument by asserting that, even if the precise language of the law didn’t require the data to be surrendered, the purpose of the law in question was to serve as enforcement tool for federal election laws, so it would make little sense to interpret it as excluding the statewide voter-registration database that states use to carry out voter-list maintenance. FEDERAL JUDGE BLOCKS DOJ ACCESS TO NJ VOTER ROLLS AMID STATEWIDE CONTROVERSY Barlow rejected this line of argument, stating that judges have "no warrant to elevate vague invocations of statutory purpose over the words Congress chose." Trump tapped Barlow to serve on the federal bench in 2019. Before being nominated, Barlow served as a Republican congressional lawyer, a federal prosecutor and a private attorney. TRUMP-APPOINTED FEDERAL JUDGE RULES AGAINST ADMIN ON MAINE VOTER ROLL DATA Barlow dismissed the administration’s complaint with prejudice, meaning that the DOJ cannot simply refile the same claim, though the department can appeal the ruling to a higher court. While the Trump administration has charged a number of individuals with illegal voting since coming to power, it has yet to uncover evidence of widespread voter fraud. The DOJ still has three pending cases related to voter rolls in the states of Hawaii, Idaho and Delaware. It is also appealing losses in California and Oregon. "We appreciate Judge Barlow's ruling dismissing the Department of Justice's lawsuit that sought to force us to disclose the private data of every Utah voter," Henderson wrote on Threads. "Our office will continue to uphold the rule of law and safeguard the fundamental right to free, fair and secure elections for the people of Utah." The White House and DOJ did not respond to requests for comment when reached by Fox News Digital on Monday.

It happened at the Fox Hollow Rodeo in Waynesville, Ohio on Saturday evening. Police say Justin "Blake" Saylor, 35, who was wearing a protective vest, "suffered a traumatic chest injury" as a result of the incident and was pronounced dead at the hospital, according to FOX 19 Cincinnati.

Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is set to share the stage with far-left streamer Hasan Piker on Monday night despite mounting opposition from fellow Minnesota Democrats, some of whom have publicly urged the congresswoman to cancel the appearance just eight days before the midterm elections. Rep. Angie Craig, D-Minn., has called Piker's rhetoric "polarizing and dangerous" and said embracing him is "a mistake," while Sen. Amy Klobuchar's gubernatorial campaign called a number of his past statements "reckless and unacceptable." Other Democratic officials and party groups have gone further, calling on Omar and state Sen. Omar Fateh, who is hosting the sold-out Minneapolis event, to cancel the appearance. The controversy is exposing a divide among Minnesota Democrats in the closing stretch of the midterms over whether Piker's enormous following among younger progressives outweighs the political liability of his past rhetoric. University of Minnesota political science professor Larry Jacobs told FOX 9 the event would "create a split within the DFL," arguing it could distract statewide Democrats from their closing message and put candidates in a difficult position with moderate and Jewish voters. WHO IS HASAN PIKER? MEET THE FAR-LEFT STREAMER WHO IS STIRRING UP CONTROVERSY AND DIVIDING DEMOCRATS Piker, who commands millions of followers across social media, has faced backlash over remarks involving the Sept. 11 attacks, Hamas, Israel and Jewish people. He later apologized for saying in 2019 that "America deserved 9/11" and has rejected accusations of antisemitism. Omar's campaign, however, has defended her decision to participate by pointing to Piker's appeal among the younger voters Democrats are trying to turn out ahead of Election Day. DEMOCRATS CONDEMNING HASAN PIKER AS BACKLASH SPREADS THROUGH PARTY "Early voting among people under 40 is down, and we need to do everything to get young people to the polls," Omar's campaign told FOX 9. "The Congresswoman knows the Democratic Party is a Big Tent party, and she's excited to join Senator Omar Fateh's event to mobilize young voters and get them to vote in this critical midterm election." During an appearance on "Pod Save America" earlier this year, Piker said he would "vote for Hamas over Israel every single time." He has also described Orthodox Jews as "inbred" and faced renewed criticism this summer over remarks warning that continued American Jewish support for Israel could provoke someone to "take action." "People don't f--- with Israel any longer. And if Jews in America keep putting this idea out there that they're singularly invested in Israel, eventually someone will come around and take action not against Israel, mind you, but against American Jews," Piker said in August.

There's nothing unusual about a celebrity hanging around the paddock. Teams invite all kinds of guests to these races.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adf6d57f04c506ce1c01ce9 Major school district's pledge with teachers' union sparks racial discrimination complaint te 2026-10-26T15:10:15.393Z Major school district's pledge with teachers' union sparks racial discrimination complaint FIRST ON FOX: One of Colorado's largest school districts is facing a new federal civil rights complaint over a pledge it made with its teachers' union to recruit, retain and advance educators of color. Defending Education filed a federal civil rights complaint Monday, which was first obtained by Fox News Digital, with the U.S. Department of Education alleging that CCSD is discriminating on the basis of race in employment. CCSD is notably Colorado’s fourth-largest school district, and serves 52,000 students and more than 300,000 residents in the southeast Denver metropolitan area, according to the district’s website. At the heart of the complaint is the district's June 2023 "Educators of Color Declaration," which commits Cherry Creek School District and its teacher’s union to recruiting, retaining and advancing educators of color, even as a separate provision in the same agreement calls for recruitment, hiring and advancement to be based on qualifications without regard to race. "Cherry Creek Schools has written racial preferences directly into its teachers’ contract. The district’s ‘Educators of Color Declaration’ commits it to recruiting, retaining, and promoting teachers based on the color of their skin — which means other equally qualified teachers are passed over for the same reason," Sarah Parshall Perry, Vice President and Senior Legal Fellow at Defending Education, told Fox News Digital. "That's not diversity; it's discrimination, and it is precisely what Title VI and the Fourteenth Amendment forbid. The Supreme Court could not have been clearer in Students for Fair Admissions: the law is colorblind, and a school district cannot cure a race-based hiring policy with generic 'equal opportunity' language." Title VI prohibits race discrimination in federally funded programs under specified conditions, while Title VII more directly governs employment discrimination, leaving the legality of Cherry Creek's teacher recruitment and advancement commitments dependent on how those policies are implemented. OBAMA-APPOINTED JUDGE CLEARS WAY FOR WHITE EMPLOYEE TO CHALLENGE SEATTLE'S DEI POLICIES The "Educators of Color Declaration" also commits the district and its teachers' union to intentionally recruiting highly qualified educators of color while making a concerted effort to retain those already employed by the district and help them advance into leadership positions, according to the district's negotiated agreement. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT LAUNCHES TITLE VI INVESTIGATION INTO DEI PROGRAMS AT ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY Additionally, the policy says that "to fulfill these goals, all policies in this agreement shall reflect Cherry Creek School District core values by grounding the work of negotiations in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)," according to the school district's 2026-2027 Negotiated Agreement. FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY HIT WITH FEDERAL CIVIL RIGHTS INVESTIGATION OVER RACE, SEX-BASED SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS "Cherry Creek is under no obligation to accept federal funding, but because it has, it cannot run a racial balancing scheme for its own workforce and still adhere to federal law," Perry continued. "We are asking the Office for Civil Rights to open an investigation and put an end to it." Defending Education's latest complaint comes after the Department of Education announced a separate investigation on June 8, into allegations that Cherry Creek School District sponsored racially discriminatory programs involving students, teachers and parents. "These allegations of racially discriminatory conduct in this District seem to permeate almost every aspect of the school community, affecting students, teachers, and parents alike," Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Kimberly Richey said in a statement at the time. "Federal law prohibits racial discrimination, which means that race cannot be a factor in how the school educates its students or trains its teachers." The Trump administration has been cracking down on DEI efforts across the nation's education system, including proposing new regulations in September that would revoke the tax-exempt status of private schools and colleges that consider race in admissions, scholarships or other school-administered programs. CCSD did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment on Monday.  When reached for comment, a Department of Education spokesperson told Fox News Digital that "the Department does not confirm complaints."

A new national report shows how everyday costs have increased for Americans. (Photo by Kevin Hardy/Stateline) Americans’ growing frustration over high prices has defined many political campaigns ahead of November’s midterm elections. Rising costs of healthcare, gas and groceries during President Donald Trump’s second term have put Republicans on defense, not only in Washington, but in statehouse and gubernatorial races across the country. As the political environment continues to sour for Republicans, a new analysis released by the Urban Institute on Monday underscores just how expensive everyday life has become in America: Gas and electricity prices are rising much faster than paychecks. Housing, childcare and healthcare are becoming a bigger strain for millions of people.  And affordability pressure is worsening in once-affordable havens such as Atlanta; Louisville, Kentucky; and Rochester, New York, where costs of housing, groceries and healthcare are increasing faster than the national average. The latest installment of The American Affordability Tracker from the left-leaning think tank details how costs of food, housing, energy and healthcare have changed across all 50 states over recent years. High prices are pinching people across income brackets, with an estimated 49% of families unable to afford the basic costs of living. That’s according to Urban Institute’s true cost of economic security calculation, which measures how much is needed to live securely. “We’re not saying that 49% of people are poor. We’re saying that they’re not secure,” said Gregory Acs, an Urban Institute fellow who worked on the research project. “Even if they’re paying all their bills, they’re paying all their bills at best.” He said the analysis confirms that the economic angst so many people feel is justified — despite strong national economic indicators such as low unemployment and growing gross domestic product. “They are not crazy. They’re not making it up,” Acs said. “They’re not being marketed into feeling bad. They really do have struggles.” Among other findings, the report shows that average annual childcare costs for two young children have risen $6,600 over the past decade. Since January 2025, gas prices have risen by 33% — an average increase of $1.02 per gallon nationally. And premiums for benchmark plans on the Affordable Care Act Marketplace are up 22% since last year, now averaging $611 per month. Affordability politics Those struggles have become a political liability for Republicans, who control the White House, both chambers of Congress, most state legislatures and a majority of governor’s offices.  All midterm elections, as a referendum on the sitting president, are difficult for incumbents in the majority. But this cycle is particularly charged because of Trump’s promises to improve the economy during his 2024 campaign, said Todd Belt, a professor of political management at The George Washington University. “He hasn’t done that. In fact, in a lot of ways, he’s made things worse,” Belt said, citing Trump’s unilateral war in Iran and tariff policies — both of which have driven up costs. “And so Donald Trump is bringing down the Republican ticket.” Some Democrats have proposed new policies to help lower costs, following the lead of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani whose winning campaign last year promised free buses and childcare. But many others are simply benefiting from the sinking approval ratings of the president — driven largely by high prices.  “For the Democrats, it’s enough to not be Donald Trump,” Belt said. “People are feeling it, and you can’t out-message it. You can’t out-message what people are feeling in their finances and what they know prices to be as they go to the gas station every week, as they see it in the grocery store.” Republican officials have recognized the political drag of rising prices.  Vice President JD Vance has publicly acknowledged Americans’ growing frustration with high prices, particularly for gas, telling voters “we’re working on it,” during a CBS News town hall in Michigan earlier this month.  But Trump has often downplayed such concerns, calling affordability “a hoax” promulgated by Democrats. Campaigning for Kansas Republican Sen. Roger Marshall last week in an unexpectedly competitive race, Trump blamed previous President Joe Biden for rising prices. Trump pledged that the war in Iran would end soon. “And when it does, you’re going to see the biggest drop in oil that anyone’s ever seen,” he said.  Wide-ranging impacts Rising prices are hitting consumers and businesses alike. Earlier this month, Small Business for America’s Future, a coalition of business owners across the country, released results of a new survey that found many small employers are struggling with high costs of utilities, fuel, business supplies and employee healthcare. Nearly two-thirds of the 1,171 businesses owners surveyed said they had recently cut or skipped their own pay to keep their operations afloat. Nearly half said customers are spending significantly less, and more than two-thirds said they had delayed, canceled or scaled back investments because of uncertainty about federal economic policy.  Walt Rowen, co-chair of that coalition, said in a news release his own business exemplified the challenges facing Main Street operations across the country. He’s the president of the 116-year-old Susquehanna Glass Company in Columbia, Pennsylvania. Tariffs have disrupted supply chains, he said, and driven up heating oil costs. “We’ve lived through the Depression, wars, and recessions,” his statement said. “Heating my factory in this current economy is some of the hardest math I’ve ever had to do, and I’m expecting the bill to jump 30% to 40% this winter.” High prices are hitting consumers across demographic and geographic borders. Acs, the Urban Institute researcher, said rising prices squeeze more than just the poorest Americans. Many middle income earners are struggling to cover the costs of healthcare, higher education and housing, “feeling like they’re on a treadmill at best,” he said.  The Urban Institute’s recent analysis also highlighted rising price challenges in regions long considered affordable.  In Arizona, gas and electricity price increases are outstripping other parts of the country: Arizonans pay an average of $219 per month for electricity, the highest in the U.S. and nearly $50 more than the national average.  In the battleground state of Wisconsin, where gas and electricity costs are well below the national average, parents face disproportionately high costs for childcare: Parents there spend an average of $30,800 per year for care for two young children — $6,900 more than the national average. “I think there is an old story that affordability really is a coastal problem,” Acs said. “What we’re trying to illustrate is that it’s not just high-cost areas where costs are an issue. Costs are an issue throughout the country.” Stateline reporter Kevin Hardy can be reached at khardy@stateline.org.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adf6afef04c506ce1c01ca0 Former Israeli PM emerges as wildcard in high-stakes election with Middle East's future at stake te 2026-10-26T15:00:14.013Z Former Israeli PM emerges as wildcard in high-stakes election with Middle East's future at stake Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is seeking a political comeback with an ambitious vision for the Middle East: expanding the Abraham Accords, building economic partnerships with Arab nations and rebuilding Israel's strained international relationships, particularly with the United States. For Bennett, whose American parents moved to Israel from San Francisco, the U.S. connection is both personal and political. The 54-year-old former technology entrepreneur, a familiar face on American television, believes his business background could help him work with President Donald Trump to advance regional diplomacy. "He was a businessman, not a career politician, same as me," Bennett told The Times of Israel in June, referring to Trump. "His worldview is, let's get stuff done. Let's look at results, not process. And that's precisely my view." TRUMP CALLS ON ARAB NATIONS TO SIGN ABRAHAM ACCORDS Bennett said he would aggressively pursue regional agreements through economic cooperation, seeking to build on the U.S.-brokered Abraham Accords. But while his ambitions overlap with Trump's regional agenda, the president endorsed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for reelection on Oct. 18. Bennett also faces an unusual political challenge at home. His joint Beyachad, or Together, party with former Prime Minister Yair Lapid is polling behind both Netanyahu's Likud and former military chief Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party. A Channel 12 poll published Oct. 23 projected 23 Knesset seats for Eisenkot, 21 for Netanyahu and 15 for Bennett and Lapid. Yet Bennett knows better than most Israeli politicians that leading the largest party is not necessary to become prime minister. In 2021, he took office despite his Yamina party winning just seven of the Knesset's 120 seats, demonstrating the power of coalition negotiations in Israel's parliamentary system. FORMER ISRAELI ARMY CHIEF GADI EISENKOT EMERGES AS NETANYAHU’S LEADING ELECTION CHALLENGER Born in Haifa to American immigrants, Bennett served in Israel's elite Sayeret Matkal and Maglan military units before co-founding cybersecurity company Cyota, which was sold for $145 million in 2005. He entered politics as Netanyahu's chief of staff, later led the Yesha Council representing West Bank settlements and served as economy, education and defense minister. A religious Zionist and longtime opponent of Palestinian statehood, Bennett stunned Israel's political establishment in 2021 when he formed a coalition spanning right-wing, centrist, left-wing and Arab parties, ending Netanyahu's 12 consecutive years in power. The coalition collapsed in 2022, leaving many former supporters accusing him of betraying his electoral promises. WHO IS ITAMAR BEN-GVIR, THE ISRAELI FIREBRAND RISING WITH THE POPULIST RIGHT ACROSS THE GLOBE? Einat Halevy Levin, a strategic advisor who has known Bennett for years, described a politician who has spent his time outside office preparing for a second opportunity. "In 2021, he wasn't prepared. He hadn't built a governing party; he had built another election campaign," Halevy Levin told Fox News Digital. She said she met Bennett at his home in November 2023, following the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attack, when he had decided to return to politics. This time, according to Halevy Levin, Bennett spent years building a political organization, carefully screening candidates and developing the infrastructure needed to govern. "I've known him since he was economy minister. He was always daring and full of creative ideas, but was more inclined to stick to his own views," she said. "He has undergone a transformation." IS ISRAEL REALLY ISOLATED? POLLS AND DIPLOMACY POINT IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS Bennett's regional ambitions reflect an approach to diplomacy shaped by his business experience, according to Halevy Levin. She recalled attending a meeting with a senior official from a neighboring country who appeared astonished by Bennett's detailed knowledge of its economy and priorities. "He wasn't looking at the country through a military lens," she said, describing Bennett's focus on identifying shared economic interests rather than approaching every regional relationship primarily as a security challenge. In an interview with Israel's Channel 13 on Sunday, two days before the election, Bennett pointed to his meetings as prime minister with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Jordan's King Abdullah II and UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed as examples of the diplomacy he hopes to revive. He argued that Israel needs to present a new vision of a Middle Eastern renaissance and identified extremist settler violence in the West Bank as a major source of damage to its international standing. "We need to eliminate Jewish terrorism in Judea and Samaria, and I say this precisely as a supporter of the settlement movement," Bennett said. "They do not represent the overwhelming majority of settlers, but right now this is the problem causing us the greatest damage internationally." Bennett said he would direct Israel's senior police, military and intelligence officials to produce a plan within three days to crack down on extremist violence. His foreign policy, however, remains firmly on the Israeli right. On Iran, Bennett has promoted his "Octopus Doctrine," advocating direct action against Tehran rather than focusing exclusively on Iranian-backed groups. "If Hezbollah fires at us, we strike Iran," he declared at an Aug. 19 policy conference. On Gaza, Bennett opposes Palestinian statehood and supports maintaining Israeli security control until Hamas is disarmed. He has also proposed excluding Qatar and Turkey from Gaza's future arrangements while involving Egypt. TRUMP SAYS NETANYAHU NEEDS TO BE RE-ELECTED, OR ELSE US WILL HAVE TO 'FINISH THE JOB’ AGAINST IRAN ALONE Those positions raise questions about how significantly his government would depart from Netanyahu's policies. Danny Citrinowicz, a senior researcher at Israel's Institute for National Security Studies and former head of the Iran branch in Israeli military intelligence, argued that restoring Israel's diplomatic standing requires more than a change in leadership. "If Bennett thinks he can support annexing E1 (an area east of Jerusalem where planned Israeli settlement construction could further fragment the West Bank), oppose a Palestinian state, continue the occupation of Gaza and simultaneously meet with Sisi and Abdullah and attract investment to Israel, he simply doesn't understand the depth of the international crisis," Citrinowicz said. Citrinowicz argued that without a fundamental change in Israeli policy toward the Palestinians, replacing Netanyahu would not be sufficient to restore the country's international standing. His warning comes amid changing American public attitudes toward Israel. A February 2026 Gallup survey found 36% of Americans sympathized more with Israelis, compared with 41% who sympathized more with Palestinians, a statistically insignificant five-point difference but a significant shift from the longstanding pro-Israel advantage. Beyond foreign policy, Bennett is promising a sweeping domestic overhaul. In an October 25 manifesto, he pledged to redirect 30 billion shekels in government benefits toward families who work and serve in the military, reduce food prices by 30%, establish a state commission of inquiry into Oct. 7 and introduce an eight-year term limit for prime ministers. His alliance with Lapid gives him an established political organization, but he faces competition from Eisenkot and continuing attacks from Netanyahu, who has warned that a future opposition coalition could depend on left-wing and Arab parties. With Israel's fragmented parliamentary system requiring at least 61 seats to govern, coalition negotiations could prove as consequential as the election results themselves. Bennett has already demonstrated that political reality once. Now, four years after his first government collapsed, he is seeking to convince Israelis that the unconventional politician who became prime minister with seven seats has returned better prepared — and with a vision that could reshape Israel's place in the Middle East.

It was potentially one of the most boring games I've ever watched, but it still was an easy cash. That's more important to me than watching a fun game anyway. Tonight we have Monday Night Football as the Cowboys take on the Eagles. My victory lap will stop here because I have been dead wrong about the Dallas Cowboys. They were the team I expected to win this division, and I thought Dak Prescott would be the league's MVP. That doesn't seem to be the case, as the Cowboys are just 2-4 for the season, and they are 1-2 on the road this year. They've suffered some embarrassing losses this season, and need to turn it around quickly if they want to assure themselves of a spot in the postseason. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! The Cowboys have lost the past two games and three of their past four games. They dropped in an almost improbable fashion to the Ravens a few weeks ago. They found a way to beat the Texans on the road, and that was a bit of a shootout - their preferred style of play. They hosted the Buccaneers with a backup quarterback and got nothing going, losing 24-16. Then they lost to the Packers 23-13 last week. It wasn't a shootout; it wasn't a well-played game. The Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl two years ago, and while you can't really go higher in success, it has been a steep drop since. Last year, the team had issues with their receiver A.J. Brown. Even Saquon Barkley struggled most of the year. It was a disjointed year, but the team still found a way to make the postseason. They lost immediately, and their quest for a repeat was put to an end. In the offseason, they traded away Brown and added some receivers, but it hasn't translated to much more success for the team. This year has been a disaster for the team both on the field and off. Jalen Hurts, their star quarterback, was playing with a blood clot, and apparently the team knew about it and let him play (or worse, encouraged him). Looking at the Eagles' team leaders, Hurts is on the IR, likely out for the season; Barkley is questionable for the game and has just 182 rushing yards on 36 carries this year; DeVonta Smith is out for the game; and Nolan Smith Jr., their sack leader, is also out for the game. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE I'm not really sure where the Eagles will get any type of offense from in this game. Essentially, they are starting a second-string team against the Cowboys, who need a win. Philadelphia is also 2-4 and needs a win, but I think this is way too much to ask of them. Philadelphia is too banged up, and this is a rivalry game. No game is easy to win in the NFL, but the Cowboys should be licking their chops, looking to get on the field and tear up the Eagles. Give me the Cowboys -4.5 on the road. I think they win this by 10 points or more.

The Committee on House Administration, which has jurisdiction over federal elections, runs an annual election watcher program aimed at adding additional oversight in districts where races are anticipated to be particularly close, and in some cases, paving the way for legal challenges if improprieties are found. Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., the panel's chairman, told Fox News Digital that this year's program will be "the most robust program the House has ever done." "We're building on the success that we had last cycle and recognizing that a large number of House races are likely to be close," Steil said. "The balance of power in the United States House of Representatives is at stake, and we wanna make sure that we have eyes and ears on the ground in close races across the country." BIDEN-APPOINTED JUDGE BLOCKS VOTER-FRAUD PROBES IN BATTLEGROUND STATES JUST DAYS BEFORE MIDTERMS How that plays out will vary from state to state depending on varying election laws, he explained. But many of those observers are potentially in for lengthy shifts. SENATE REPUBLICANS PUSH ELECTION DAY DEADLINE FOR CALIFORNIA'S MARATHON BALLOT COUNTS "Some jurisdictions that run their elections well, like Florida, their shift may end early in the evening. States that have kind of poor election policies, like California, those shifts go on for days on end until the counting is done," Steil said. "Two years ago, I went to Los Angeles County — about 10 million people — counts all their ballots at one location. And of course, we know California has bad election policy. They allow ballots to arrive after the polls have closed. And so I went to Central Count, met with our election observers as we watched ballots arrive days after the election. We want eyes and ears on the ground, recording what is occurring, and documenting what's happening, and making sure that the rules are followed." Steil also recalled an instance in Milwaukee where an issue arose during tabulation "where ultimately thousands of ballots would have to be recounted." But those poll watchers, trained under the jurisdiction of Congress, will often stay the entire time votes are being cast on Election Day. In some cases, they observe votes being counted as well. MAP IT: DOJ ILLEGAL VOTING CRACKDOWN SWEEPS 17 STATES AS RAZOR-THIN ELECTIONS FACE SCRUTINY "These are long days. I mean, polling locations are often open for a full 12 hours. They're arriving, they're staying often until the early evening or late evening, in some cases as the ballots are actually tabulated, but they play an absolutely essential role in verifying ... our elections are run freely and fairly," he said. It is all part of a process to build a case in the event the results need to be re-examined. Their documentation could potentially lead to recounts in close races or even lawsuits. "Not only are they documenting what they're seeing, but they're in direct contact with myself and the committee on Election Day, so that we're in a position to deploy additional resources, if necessary, to make any court challenges if that was required," Steil explained. "They are the first step in identifying if there is a problem, and then they notify our team and we get to work immediately." Election observers' jobs are federally protected under the Confirmation of Congressional Observer Access Act, which was enacted by Congress in 2024. The program is open to any staffer of the House of Representatives, save for interns. Democrats are free to run their own program under the law, but they do not do so in coordination with Republicans. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adf664ef04c506ce1c01be5 Cam Young was out the door to LIV Golf, wind cuts PGA Tour event short, and gearing up for Mexico te 2026-10-26T14:40:14.966Z Cam Young was out the door to LIV Golf, wind cuts PGA Tour event short, and gearing up for Mexico The PGA Tour returned this week, kind of, which means Par Talk is also back to its regularly scheduled programming as we gear up for four straight weeks of action to close out the Fall Swing. The Butterfield Bermuda Championship is sneakily one of the most entertaining events of the fall, with players competing for status on an island in some of the windiest conditions they'll ever play in. Unfortunately, the PGA Tour deemed the wind on Sunday and Monday to be too much and cut the event to 54 holes. There were eight players within three shots of the lead heading into the final round, but ultimately, the Tour let 54-hole co-leaders Austin Smotherman and Seamus Power duel it out in a Monday playoff at Port Royal. As for the biggest news out of the golf world from the past week, it involves bankruptcy, Cameron Young, and his signature on an agreement to join LIV Golf years ago. Welcome to Par Talk, a weekly read to get you caught up on all the happenings that took place in professional golf that you should know. Be sure to follow Mark on X @itismarkharris or email him at mark.harris@outkick.com. Cameron Young was open about having interest in potentially joining LIV Golf during its inaugural season in 2022. The American openly stated at that year's Tour Championship in Atlanta that he was interested in making the jump to the then Saudi-backed circuit. Recently revealed court documents revealed that Young's interest in a move wasn't just a thought he was tossing around in his brain, but one he took legitimate action on. JON RAHM WON'T PARTICIPATE UNDER LIV GOLF'S 'UNACCEPTABLE' NEW TERMS AMID LEAGUE'S BANKRUPTCY, LAWYERS SAY As LIV Golf is going through proceedings after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, documents revealed that the circuit paid $15.6 million in retention payments to executives before filing. Not lost in the shuffle, which showed that LIV CEO Scott O'Neil received a retention of more than $6 million, was Young previously signing a document of intent to join LIV following the 2022 Open Championship at St. Andrews. The 2022 Open Championship, while a classic finish with Cameron Smith edging out Rory McIlroy, was already remembered as 'The One With The LIV Distraction,' but even more so now. Smith joined LIV shortly after hoisting the Claret Jug, and with Young signing his intent dated July 24, one week after the final round, he was ready to follow suit. The speculation about Young jumping ship from the PGA Tour continued to gain steam for another four weeks before he ultimately grew tired of the questions and shared he had decided to stay on the Tour following the final round of the 2022 Tour Championship. Young was ranked 17th in the world at the time with zero wins on Tour to his name. Since then, he's moved up to No. 4 in the world, won three times, including the 2026 Players, and has represented the United States at both the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup. The PGA Tour was scrambling on Monday. Pun absolutely intended. With wind gusts over 50 mph coupled with rain on Sunday, the Tour was hopeful for a Monday finish, and while it got one, it was about as unique as they come. With the weather an issue again on Monday, the final round was scrapped, and Smotherman and Power went to the Par 3 16th for a playoff to determine a winner. Then they did it again, and again. The pair shared pars on the first and second times around playing the 16th, the staff then moved the pin placement, and Smotherman's third par in a row was enough to get the job done after Power couldn't get up and down from an awkward spot in the rough. It wasn't exactly the most exciting of finishes – players having to gut their way through 18 holes of pure hell in the wind certainly would have been – but when Mother Nature doesn't cooperate, and another event starts in less than four days' time, the Tour wasn't exactly left with another choice. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE As for Smotherman, that's two wins in his last two starts after winning the Bank of Utah Championship at the beginning of October. For a player who had just two Top 25 finishes dating back to May, that's a big-time run for the 32-year-old. Oh, Vidanta Vallarta, how we've missed you. The 2025 Mexico Open at VidantaWorld, which was held in February, was one of those events that the golf sickos out there may never forget, and finally, after 20 months of waiting, we are back. If, for whatever reason, you forgot one of the greatest finishes we may ever see, let's take a look back at what went down early last year. Aldrich Potgieter, the South African whose superpower is being one of the longest hitters in the game, found himself in a playoff with Brian Campbell, who finished 161st out of 162 players in average driving distance this season. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! The sudden-death playoff was held on the Par 5 18th hole, so advantage Potgieter. The two each made pars the first time around, and then came the tee shot heard 'round the world. Campbell ended up hitting the block of all blocks off the tee, with his ball entering what is a legitimate jungle guarding the right side of the fairway. His ball should have disappeared, and it did for a brief moment, before jumping back into play and into the right rough. Potgieter followed up Campbell's tee shot by hitting a 321-yard rocket into the fairway, leaving him 218 yards to the hole, while Campbell had 311 to the pin. Despite the almost 100-yard difference, Campbell was the one who made birdie while Potgieter missed a six-footer to extend the playoff. It was cinema, made practically no sense, and was a win for all short hitters around the globe. Campbell and Potgieter are in the field this week.

Detective Jose Mercedes said in an exclusive interview with Fox News that he couldn't unlock his phone as he tried to report his attackers' whereabouts. Realizing that he was bleeding badly, he stopped following them — recalling cases he had investigated involving victims who suffered significant blood loss. "Suddenly, I grabbed my phone again, and it's completely filled with blood," Mercedes said. "And at that point is when I stopped running." Mercedes said his police training kicked in when two masked men approached him while he was retrieving belongings from his car's trunk on his day off work. One displayed a knife and attempted to grab the gold chains around his neck. ‘BONNIE AND CLYDE’ ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT COUPLE ACCUSED OF BRAZEN JEWELRY THEFT SPREE ACROSS FOUR STATES "The first thing that went through my mind was fear," Mercedes recalled. "The next thing that went through my mind was action." Mercedes said he managed to unmask both suspects during the struggle, despite fearing they might have additional weapons. He also said he would have tried to escape the confrontation if he had seen the men approaching. "The fear that comes upon you and your body turns cold," he told host Brian Kilmeade. "Thereafter, your adrenaline kicks in. And now it’s action time, and now I have to defend myself with all my might or die." ILLEGAL SUSPECT IN NYPD DETECTIVE STABBING DENIES INVOLVEMENT AFTER EXTRADITION FROM MASSACHUSETTS Police identified the alleged attackers as D'Angelo Caraballo, 25, and Sneider Mejia, 24.

"They're taking politics before law enforcement." Mercedes, who suffered wounds to both arms and his back, said the stress of the attack caused him to overlook a critical lifesaving measure despite his decade of police experience. "I did a lot of things tactically correct, but I also forgot a few things," he said, expressing gratitude to the officers who arrived and applied tourniquets to both his bleeding arms. "I thought I was going to die at a certain point. My skin changed colors, I became pale. My lips also became pale, and I cannot thank enough the — first of all, God — second of all, the 911 caller, the [52nd Precinct] officers that responded… they just assisted me with so much urgency. And the emergency service unit — they completely brought me back to life." Fox News Digital's Eric Mack and Michael Ruiz contributed to this report.

"If you encounter ICE, here's what every New Yorker should know," the socialist mayor of the nation’s largest city posted on X on Friday in a message that quickly racked up over 7 million views. Mamdani explained "what every New Yorker should know" if they "encounter ICE," adding that ICE "cannot enter private spaces like your home, school, hospitals, or private areas of a workplace without a judicial warrant signed by a judge." Mamdani reminded New Yorkers they have the right to remain silent and gives tips on best practices for interacting with ICE, saying that "these are very frightening times for many people." MAMDANI CALLS ICE A 'ROGUE' AGENCY AFTER NYC SHOOTING, CLAIMS AGENTS VIEW LAW AS 'MERELY A SUGGESTION' Mamdani’s post was quickly criticized by conservatives on social media, with many characterizing the video as the mayor encouraging obstruction of federal law enforcement and encouraging illegal immigration. "It should be insulting to every American that the mayor of our largest city is a guy who became a citizen less than a decade ago and now spends his time coaching illegal aliens in a foreign language on how they can avoid being lawfully deported," Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, posted on X. MULLIN CALLS MAMDANI'S ANTI-ICE RHETORIC 'DANGEROUS' FOLLOWING NEW YORK SHOOTING "Unless you're here illegally, you have no reason to fear ICE," actor Dean Cain posted on X. "This wanker is dangerous." "At no point in this video is anyone urged to abide by the laws of the United States," Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, posted on X. "Because it was not made for the benefit of the people of the United States." "If you're here illegally, you're not a New Yorker," Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., posted on X. "Period." "Treason," Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, posted on X. "Here we are in 2026 with foreign born Democrats instructing illegals how to evade the law and remain in our country to suck off our system and best case scenario free load off our hard work," Fox News commentator Tomi Lahren posted on X. "Dangerous incitement full of disturbing falsehoods by communist terrorist supporter @NYCMayor," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton posted on X. "This statement could put lives in danger." Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdani’s office for comment. Mamdani has repeatedly positioned himself against ICE and the Trump administration’s immigration-enforcement agenda. During his campaign and after taking office, he called for abolishing ICE and said the NYPD would not assist the agency with civil immigration enforcement. He has also described ICE operations as harmful to immigrant communities. As mayor, Mamdani signed an executive order strengthening New York City’s sanctuary policies. The order directs city agencies to limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities, protect personal information and establish protocols for handling ICE requests to access city property or records. It also called for expanded "know your rights" materials and training for city employees.

During a recent interview with Fox News Digital, the 54-year-old singer discussed what it meant to her to honor Dolly Parton at the Dove Awards, and how she ended up in the hospital with internal bleeding. Grant explained that after moving her daughter into her dorm room at college, they went out to dinner together with her husband, and on the way her foot "caught this brick on the ground" and she "belly flopped" onto the ground. "I thought, 'Oh, maybe I broke a rib' or 'Man, that's gonna leave a bruise' or 'I kind of knocked the wind out of me,'" she said. "But then I got up and I kept walking to dinner. I'm like, I'm sore, but I'm gonna be okay. It wasn't until I realized that I was bleeding internally. And when I realized that it was an emergency, got to the emergency room. And they were like your bladder could rupture, because my kidney was bleeding, and I wasn't able to pass urine." She explained that when she initially arrived to the emergency room, doctors "were kind of confused about what was going on," and it wasn't until she was admitted into the ICU when they realized how serious her condition was. "I had a catheter so you could see the blood kept filling. I wouldn't stop bleeding and I think that's when they were like we've got to get you in for surgery and figure out what's going on. But they all let me know like if you wouldn't have come in, like I talked about maybe going to a bigger hospital, and they said 'No you were really smart to come as fast as you could and get here as quickly as you can,' because if I didn't my bladder would have actually ruptured and I wouldn't have known it." WATCH HERE: NATALIE GRANT SUFFERED INTERNAL BLEEDING AFTER SHE ‘BELLY FLOPPED’ ON HER WAY TO DINNER The singer went on to say that even through all her pain, she was thinking about her children and how they were feeling, noting that as moms, "we're always concerned about everybody around us," even when bleeding internally. While in the hospital, she was thinking of her daughter in the hospital with her, who "faints at the side of blood," as well as her other two daughters back home in Nashville, and how she was going to tell them.

I was like, 'No, we are celebrating the fact that she has finished college, and we are going to dinner together, and we're going to make this memory,'" she said. "And I'm kind of like hurting and limping and not able to fully eat my meal. And I was, like, I don't think I can ignore this anymore, but that was just such a picture of what moms do." After her incident, Grant urges her fans not to "ignore your body," saying, "God created our body in such a way that it gives us signs" and too often those signs go ignored until "it's too late." WATCH HERE: CHRISTIAN SINGER NATALIE GRANT IS 100 PERCENT HEALED FROM HER INTERNAL INJURIES SUSTAINED AFTER A FALL Months after the fall, Grant said she has completely healed, and that, "funnily enough" she did actually break a rib in the fall, and that has been the most painful part. WATCH HERE: DOCTORS WERE INITIALLY CONFUSED WHEN NATALIE GRANT CAME INTO THE HOSPITAL AFTER HER FALL "I just last week had my final had a cystoscopy which checked inside my kidney and my bladder and everything looks fantastic. It's a hundred percent healed. You actually can see a scar from where it was and there's I'm like, there's a sermon in that. It's all healed, we still have the scar, but it's healed. And then I just had an ultrasound as well. So internally, everything is 100%. And I just, I thank God because that could have gone 100 different directions. But I'm very, very grateful for good medical care and for the faithfulness of God took care of me." LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

The 57th Annual GMA Dove Awards took place on Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2026, at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena, hosted by Tauren Wells. When putting together the tribute, Grant was left wondering how to honor someone who made such an impact in not just the music industry, but the world, noting, "I'm not gonna sing nine to five or some of her greatest hits, like how do we make this work?" WATCH HERE: NATALIE GRANT PAID TRIBUTE TO DOLLY PARTON AT THE DOVE AWARDS "And it was really in looking and reading and remembering and knowing the story of Dolly's faith and how much her faith mattered to her, guided her, led her to the way she lived her life, to the ways she loved people, to the that she was sure of who she was," she said. "And I think finding that video of her singing ‘How Great Thou Art,’ that was probably the most emotional moment for me was going, wait, this is the anchor of her, the anchor of who she was, was the songs of the faith. And I think that that was really beautiful to get to tell that part of her story."

If you're looking for a normal NASCAR recap, go check out insufferable ESPN ... assuming they still know NASCAR exists. I'm not even sure a great finish like that is gonna save NASCAR this week ... Lordy. What a day at Talladega. It had everything. It usually does. Cars flipping. Cars going airborne. One of the hardest hits I've ever seen. Kyle Larson going from 11th to first in about 10 seconds to win at the buzzer. NASCAR'S JOEY LOGANO RIDES ON HIS ROOF, RILEY HERBST NAILS WALL AT FULL SPEED IN DANGEROUS TALLADEGA WRECK Did he go below the 'yella line? Maybe. Maybe not. A tale as old as time at Talladega. In between all that mayhem, we had — arguably — the most embarrassing sequence in NASCAR history. It was certainly the most embarrassing at a superspeedway. Drivers were so annoyed by it, they were openly mocking it over the radio ... as it happened! As they participated! It was pathetic. This Next Gen car is so pathetic, and so broken, and so far from what this series used to be, I don't even know where to go from here. Neither does Denny Hamlin. There's "fuel-saving," and then there's whatever the heck THAT was in Stage I yesterday. You'll see. Four tires, enough fuel to get through the final two races and crown Kyle Larson the champion (it's a wrap, folks), and maybe a Tylenol for Riley Herbst and Joey Logano ... Monday Morning Pit-Stop — the 'Gee, I Wonder Why Ratings Are In The Toilet?' edition — is LIVE! Look, we got a great finish yesterday as you can see — and we desperately needed one after the dud that's been the playoffs. There's been no drama over the past eight weeks, beyond Carson Hocevar stuffing Ryan Blaney in a locker. That's it. And we finally got some yesterday in the closing laps at Talladega. That's what I WANT to to start class with, but I can't. Can't do it. Not when crap like this is going in the opening stage: For those who can't tell what's going on, the entire pack — minus the RFK boys (MAHA!) — decided to save fuel during the opening stage so they wouldn't have to pit because this current car, combined with the stage lengths, make it almost impossible to run the race without running out of gas. CHASE ELLIOTT SAYS NASCAR'S GRUELING 10-MONTH SEASON CAN 'EAT YOU UP' WITHOUT AN ESCAPE As Denny Hamlin said after the race, "it’s a sports car not meant to be running 200mph." Correct. That's what NASCAR has created with this car + stage combo at superspeedways. Basically, if you don't run slow, stay in the draft, and save as much fuel as possible, you're gonna pay for it when it comes to pit stops. Drivers hate it, but they don't have much a choice. They were MISERABLE yesterday. Just listen to what Denny said during the race! "This is some crazy s–t," he said. "This is like the Richard Petty Driving Experience at a race!" I've done the Richard Petty experience, and Denny is 10000% right. When you do that, they basically cap the cars at 175 MPH. That's what we had yesterday at 'Dega. Cars going as slow as possible to save enough fuel so they wouldn't have to pit. That should not happen at Talladega or Daytona. Those two are, easily, your best tracks, NASCAR. Trust me. You don't want to screw them up ... And you are screwing them up. Big time. It's pathetic. It's embarrassing. Folks will turn the channel. Hell, they already have! Take a look: Lordy. Last Sunday's Cup race at Phoenix drew an audience of just 1.2 million viewers. That number is alarming, folks. I've seen a lot of bad TV numbers for NASCAR over the years. Believe me. That's really, really, really bad. You don't want to live in a world where the WNBA outdraws NASCAR, and we're teetering on that right now. It's unfathomable. It's unacceptable. It's also not surprising. Some thoughts on why, in order of importance: OK, give me YOUR thoughts on this — and don't hold back! Zach.Dean@OutKick.com. Gulp. Now, let's get to a couple quick-hitters on the way out. First up? Congrats to Kyle Larson! He won yesterday in thrilling fashion, and will most likely be your champion here in two weeks. But ... did he do it legally? Thoughts? It's really close. Like, really, really, reaaaaaaallllly close. I think NASCAR made the right call, and I HATE siding with NASCAR. But fair is fair, and I do think Larson's tires stay on the line, albeit barely. Again, it was CLOSE: Does that angle change anyone's minds? Nope?! We're all just gonna be stubborn and set in our ways and argue till we're blue in the face? Okeedokee! Sounds good! Moving on ... I know Joey Logano flipping and landing on his hood gets all the clicks and the attention, but the hit Riley Herbst takes here is the most violent hit of the 2026 NASCAR season. Goodness: Just a massive hit for Riley Herbst, who is OK. I know NASCAR seemingly took forever to get over to him (listen to how frustrated the team is over the radio), but he spoke after the race and all seems well. But that was a massive hit. Ryan Blaney's taken a couple of those over the years, and they scare the bejesus out of me every time. When I saw this wreck happen in real time, my attention immediately went to Herbst over Logano. Cars that flip and go on their hoods are generally OK. Cars that go into the wall at 190 MPH are usually not. Feel like we dodged a bullet here. OK, that's it for today. Good work, everyone. On the way out, here's Jesse Love's girlfriend, Georgia Kryssing, enjoying a pumpkin patch as we start the final week of October. See y'all at Martinsville.

(Screenshot by Howard Fischer) PHOENIX — A publicly available app provides insight into who a conservative group sees as people likely to vote with their side. Designed by Turning Point USA, the organization founded by Charlie Kirk to promote conservative candidates, the TPAction mobile app is specifically meant to aid volunteers who “chase” ballots. They use it to find people in a given neighborhood who have asked for early ballots but have not yet returned them, according to county election records. But not just anyone with an unreturned ballot. “It identifies who we want to vote,” said Tyler Bowyer, the chief operating officer of Turning Point USA, when asked about it. And how does the organization do that? “Why would I tell you that?” he responded in a chat on social media, followed by “LOL” — laughing out loud. “I mean, it’s basic logic who would determine our targets.” But Bowyer declined to answer any more questions. There’s nothing illegal about all of this, as voter registration records are public. And lists are available regularly of those who ask for and have returned early ballots. That’s why those emails, text messages and phone calls people get on behalf of candidates and issues tend to stop once the ballot is returned. Democrats have a similar program called MiniVAN that enables campaign organizers to send out volunteers — just like Turning Point — to find those voters it has identified as likely supporters whose ballots may be sitting unopened on the kitchen table. But there’s a key difference. While the MinVAN app can be downloaded to cell phones, actual voter information becomes available only when the user is linked to a specific list. And that list is not publicly available, but is under the control of the organization that controls the list. That’s not the case with TPAction. It takes only a name, address and phone number to sign up and activate the app once downloaded from either Google Play or the App Store. And one option on a menu that appears when you sign in and click the arrows in the upper right is to “chase ballots.” Click on that and you get a menu that tops off with “voters near me.” That first turns up a list of neighbors within a couple of hundred yards — at least those who Turning Point believes is worthy of their attention — complete with their names, addresses and whether they’ve returned their early ballots. You may or may not be on that list. There’s also an option to click on the map to show you exactly where they live from your position. But you’re not limited to snooping about just the folks in your area. At the bottom of the map is a button labeled “done for the day.” That not only releases the list back to Turning Point but clears the map for the next time. And, more to the point, you can then reopen the app — and the map — from wherever is your new starting point. And that produces a list of people in that area who Turning Point wants to pursue. The app also has other options to allow users to make phone calls directly to those on the list. It even provides information like the target’s gender, age and party, and whether that person is on the early voting list — meaning someone who asked for a ballot by mail. And even direct texts are an option. The post Turning Point app tracks likely conservative voters who haven’t returned ballots first appeared on Arizona Capitol Times.

We're talking about a potential breakout star after Saturday night's national anthem performance before Game 2 of the World Series in Milwaukee where she belted out a rendition that's being called the best "since Whitney." We're talking the best performance of the "Star Spangled Banner" since Super Bowl XXV on January 27, 1991. I'm not saying it, but others are. Let's go to the comments where this praise is being heaped on Cantrall. 📩 Email: joe.kinsey@outkick.com Send photos, stories, tips, rants—whatever you've got. 📰 Screencaps Page: 👉 Read the latest Screencaps As I'd written going into the state race, the goal for Jr. was 11:teens on a course that's notoriously fast in a race filled with some serious competition. His official time was 11:10:00 (2 miles), good for 22nd place (377 runners) and just one-tenth of a second behind his teammate who finished 21st. Jr.'s time is now the 9th fastest time in the history of the junior high program, which is unfathomable considering where he was just a year ago when his PR was 12:14. As for the team, the boys won a state title for the school with 1st, 21st, 22nd, 78th and 85th place finishes. The final total was 156 points for Perrysburg to 178 points for Kings Junior High out of Cincinnati. If we go back 14-15 months ago, you guys were teaching me everything about cross country and explaining that it's more than just running. There's actual strategy. Now I study split times and point systems. I watched as Jr. was 64th at the quarter-mile mark, to 40th at the mile, to 29th at the 1 3/4 mile post and then he picked off seven more spots in a helluva kick to the finish line. Last night, at dinner, I reiterated to Mrs. Screencaps that I never thought in my wildest dreams I would enjoy spending a Sunday watching kids run these races. I think it's the festival atmosphere that's so relaxing. People eating quesadillas at picnic tables. Some people bringing in their dogs. Sun shining. What a life pivot this has all been. • Michael P. in Allons, TN says: Out on McAfee but in his defense that goes for all pregame shows. CFB NFL MLB (don't watch the NBA).

Multiple streaming, international games, subscriptions only viewership, not to mention the lecturing of social issues on and off the field. That is the short rant for now, just another nameless no account who can find other things to do anyway. Oh wait, maybe I am wrong, game scores or information is a secret, and they want to be like the government and soak a person for every penny.  Ric's definitely feeling better after that fall on Friday.

The incident resulted in Bryant receiving an assault citation. Footage provided to OutKick by Bryant showed an officer aiming a gun in Bryant’s direction. Bryant is also seen lying on the ground in handcuffs alongside the two other men in Southlake, Texas. Bryant acknowledged knocking a phone from one man’s hand during their argument, but disputed how police handled the encounter and questioned why he received a citation after reporting that he had been threatened. ARIZONA STATE CHEERLEADER CHARGED AFTER CONFRONTATION WITH POLICE CAUGHT ON VIRAL VIDEO "I was really more so concerned about my children, you know, looking at their dad, you know, being on the ground with a gun pointed at me," Bryant said. The citation reviewed by OutKick lists "Assault by Contact" and identifies the incident location as 2251 E. Southlake Blvd., the same address listed for Chiloso Mexican Bistro. It marks "Arrest: No" and instructs Bryant to appear at Southlake Municipal Court on or before Nov. 20 at 5 p.m. Bryant said the confrontation began after he encountered two vehicles whose occupants appeared to be interacting with one another at a traffic light. He accused the drivers of cutting him off and continuing to drive recklessly as they arrived at the restaurant, where he was also headed. Bryant said he told them to stop, acknowledging that he used profanity. He said an argument followed with one of the men, whom the former wide receiver described as a young adult. TITANS COACH PASSIONATELY DEFENDS JORDAN ELLIOTT AFTER GUN-RELATED INCIDENT LED TO RELEASE "He go to threatening me and basically saying, um, he’ll insinuate that he’ll, you know, he’ll shoot me or whatever," Bryant said. Bryant said he responded with a warning of his own. "You pull that gun, I’m telling you right now, you better use it because if you don’t I’m going to do something to you," he recalled telling the man. Asked whether the man actually drew a weapon, Bryant said: "No, he didn’t pull a gun out on me." Bryant said the man instead pulled out his phone and began recording him. "I told him, you know, get the phone off me," Bryant said. "So what I ended up doing is I knocked the phone out of his hand." The man then said he would call police, according to Bryant, who said he encouraged him to do so because he believed officers would investigate the alleged threat. Bryant said a responding officer drew a gun and ordered them to the ground. He said his girlfriend arrived with his two daughters and began recording the encounter. ICE SHOOTING ROCKS AUSTIN AS DEMOCRAT DEMANDS BODYCAM VIDEO, INDEPENDENT PROBE "I get on the ground," Bryant said. "My lady pulled up, she got my children, and they seen everything that’s going on." According to Bryant, officers handcuffed the men, questioned them separately and placed him in a police vehicle before releasing him with the citation. He said the other men were allowed to leave. Bryant alleged that police relied on the other man’s phone recording without adequately investigating what preceded it. He said he asked officers to review surrounding surveillance footage, including any available video of the driving that led to the confrontation. "I would rather you guys take us all down to the police station and do the proper investigation instead of just taking somebody else, you know, side," Bryant said. "I felt like it was very one-sided." Bryant also claims an officer told him that he had to be "the bigger person." Under Texas law, assault involving offensive or provocative physical contact is generally a Class C misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $500. The citation does not identify a specific statutory subsection. Bryant repeatedly described his actions as self-defense. Texas law makes that determination dependent on the circumstances, including whether someone reasonably believed force was immediately necessary to protect against another person’s use or attempted use of unlawful force.

"Every time I see him, we talk ball. We just talk about the regular things," Bryant said of that officer. "It’s always been good. This situation was just extremely unfortunate." Bryant played eight seasons with Dallas, earning three Pro Bowl selections and All-Pro honors in 2014. He finished his Cowboys tenure with 531 catches, 7,459 receiving yards and 73 receiving touchdowns. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW!

The crash occurred Saturday in the vicinity of the Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN) convention, where candidate events and campaign appearances had been underway over the weekend. It happened when another vehicle crashed into the one transporting Peltola and her family, the campaign said. The family was on their way to the Alaska Federation of Natives Annual Banquet. "Mary and her family sustained minor injuries but are in good spirits," campaign manager Cheryl Bruce said in a statement. "Unfortunately, per the advice of medical professionals, Mary’s upcoming events in Fairbanks and Bethel will be rescheduled for later in the week as she takes time to recover." "Mary is disappointed that the accident is delaying the start of her Alaska Always Tour, and she is eager to get back on the campaign trail to speak directly with Alaskans about her plan to take on the rigged system and lower costs for working families," Bruce added. TODD BLANCHE CHALLENGES DANA BASH FOR ONLY CITING PART OF CONSTITUTION DURING HEATED ELECTION CLASH The pause comes at a pivotal moment in Alaska’s high-stakes Senate contest between Peltola and incumbent Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan, as both campaigns scramble across the state to mobilize voters and secure turnout ahead of the November midterm vote. DEMOCRAT'S DEBATE 'CUE CARDS' STEAL SPOTLIGHT IN HIGH-STAKES SENATE CLASH Peltola, an Alaska Native and former congresswoman, is hoping to become the first Democrat in nearly two decades to represent the state in the Senate. Both she and Sullivan have tried to rally support from Alaska Native voters, a key constituency in the high-stakes race that has become one of the most watched in the nation. ALASKA HAS A VOTING SYSTEM LIKE NO OTHER STATE; REPUBLICANS WORRY IT COULD COST THEM IN NOVEMBER President Donald Trump — who held a rally in support of Sullivan earlier this month — said Friday he told his administration to sue to block certification of the race if the incumbent loses. The lawsuit cites potential confusion with another candidate who is listed on the ranked choice ballot as Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. Alaska allows voters to rank their top picks rather than choosing a single candidate. Voters will have four choices, including Sullivan, Peltola and the other Dan Sullivan, a candidate Republicans have called a decoy in what they believe is a Democratic effort to confuse voters. COURT KEEPS ‘DECOY DAN’ ON ALASKA BALLOT AS EXPERT WARNS RANKED-CHOICE SYSTEM CREATES VOTER ‘TRAPS’ "I revealed what everyone knows, that the Ranked Choice Voting Ballot is a TOTAL DEMOCRAT SCAM meant to confuse the Voter, so that Senator Dan Sullivan will lose Votes to a man who has never participated in Politics before, named Daniel J. Sullivan, Jr.," Trump wrote early Sunday morning on Truth Social. "He is only there because the Democrats want to steal the Election." It is a reason to vote out ranked-choice voting, Trump added. "The Democrats are trying to steal this important Republican Seat and, if that happens, everything we’ve done for Alaska will come to an immediate hault [sic]," Trump concluded. "VOTE 'YES' AGAINST RANKED CHOICE VOTING, on Ballot Measure 2. SAVE ALASKA!" Peltola has outraised Sullivan through October, $33 million to nearly $14 million, but Sullivan reported having more campaign cash, $5.1 million to Peltola 's $3.2 million. Republicans have outspent Democrats in the race, $42 million to $38 million. The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.

A decade after defending her choice, Hannah-Jones admitted in an essay last month that she regretted aspects of her decision to send her now-16-year-old daughter to these schools in an effort to combat school segregation, after her child informed Hannah-Jones that she did not receive the education she wanted. "Now I felt overcome with regret. Najya deserved better," Hannah-Jones wrote in her September essay. "They all did. But she was mine. This girl, my only child, looked to me to protect her, to give her what she needed to thrive. And I had not chosen her." KAROL MARKOWICZ: 1619 PROJECT FOUNDER NIKOLE HANNAH-JONES LEARNED THE HARD TRUTH ABOUT SCHOOLS Hannah-Jones' admission sparked intense backlash from critics who accused her of sacrificing her daughter's education for her progressive values. The pushback was strong enough for Hannah-Jones to question if she should have written the essay. "I know it would sound crazy if I say none of the critique was valid, but I’m like, what is the critique?" Hannah-Jones told The New York Times during an interview on Wednesday.  "There was some online discourse that was pretty brutal. And, you know, I have experienced some brutal discourse through the years, but usually not about, like, me as a parent," Hannah-Jones said. "That was hard. And for a minute I’m like, ‘Man, should I have written this?’ And I’ve actually never, ever, as a journalist, questioned, 'Should I have written something?' And there was a moment where I was just like, ‘I did not have to subject myself to this. Should I have done this?’" However, Hannah-Jones concluded that she ultimately did not regret her actions despite the impact the essay had. NIKOLE HANNAH-JONES' FRIEND SENDS BLACK SON TO PRIVATE SCHOOL AFTER NYT WRITER HAS EDUCATION REGRETS "You know, in the end, I’m fine. I will be fine. My feelings got a little hurt because I’m a human being. But, in the end, like, people are talking about these kids who don’t have a platform, who don’t have a choice. The mayor of New York has been forced to respond. He’s now promised to release a plan to address it. That doesn’t happen without me writing a piece like this," Hannah-Jones said. She added, "And so, yeah, I have to remind myself that, like, my little bruised feelings in the end are meaningless. It is the power of what we can do with our platform, and what I would argue is our responsibility to do." Fox News Digital reached out to Hannah-Jones for comment, but did not immediately hear back.  DENVER MOTHER FIGHTS FOR HER DAUGHTER'S EDUCATION AS ADVOCATES MAKE NATIONWIDE SCHOOL CHOICE PUSH Corey DeAngelis, a research fellow at The Heritage Foundation and longtime school choice advocate, accused the journalist of minimizing education concerns. "Calling the backlash 'brutal discourse' misses the point. People reacted because she publicly used her child as a prop for a political experiment, and the results were horrible," DeAngelis told Fox News Digital. He added, "School choice exists so parents can leave schools that don't work. You don't fix these schools by trapping more kids inside them and hoping your presence changes the system. Hannah-Jones tried that. It didn't work. Her daughter knows it. Parents across the country already knew it. Give families the money and the freedom to leave."

Tens of millions are flowing into Kansas to boost Hamilton, with a sizable chunk coming from Senate Majority PAC, a super PAC closely aligned with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., whom Hamilton has repeatedly said he would not support as the Democratic leader should he win in November. But his opponent, Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., questioned how he could benefit from "$30 to $40 million from Chuck Schumer and not be beholden to him in some way?" THUNE MAKES BOLD PREDICTION ABOUT REPUBLICANS' SENATE CHANCES AS GOP PULLS MILLIONS FROM KEY RACES "Regardless of what he says, if we lose this seat, then it's going to give the Senate control to the Democrats," Marshall told Fox News Digital during an interview on the campaign trail. "Chuck Schumer would be the leader of the Senate." "Look, if he's going to denounce Chuck Schumer, let's denounce him with his money as well," he continued, "Look, we're going to be outspent five to one, and we knew that." Candidates, notably, can’t directly accept outside funding from independent groups like the Senate Majority PAC, given the guardrails are established by federal election law, according to the Federal Election Commission. SCHUMER WARNS OF REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE THAT COULD CHANGE THE BATTLE FOR SENATE CONTROL The Schumer-aligned group teed up $5 million in advertising spending in Kansas earlier this month, a sign that Democrats are bullish about flipping the seat in a contest that has gotten closer than Republicans expected. Hamilton's campaign pushed back on Marshall, arguing that the first-term senator has been given a lifeboat by national Republicans. Hamilton has vastly outraised Marshall, scoring nearly $14 million compared to Marshall’s almost $6 million, according to Federal Election Commission filings. "Adam has said repeatedly he believes it’s time for fresh leadership in Washington," Tyson Brody, a Hamilton campaign spokesperson, told Fox News Digital. "Adam will always put Kansas first. Meanwhile, Roger Marshall is totally dependent on Washington money to save his campaign because he has abandoned Kansas to support D.C. corruption, endless war, and high prices." KANSAS DEMOCRAT BEGS KAMALA HARRIS NOT TO CAMPAIGN WITH HIM, ‘PLEASE DO NOT COME TO MY STATE’ In all, national Democrats and their affiliated groups — combined with spending from Hamilton’s campaign — are slated to dump $38 million into the race, according to AdImpact. National Republicans, along with Marshall’s campaign, are putting $32 million into the contest. Marshall has sought to tie Hamilton, who is running as a moderate in ruby-red Kansas, directly to Schumer, a point he made several times during their final debate before Election Day this week. Hamilton pushed back, arguing that Marshall had mentioned Schumer "maybe 20 times so far." "I’ve already said I wouldn't support Chuck Schumer for Senate majority leader if the Democrats took control of the Senate," Hamilton said.

The recent excavation, reported by British news agency Jam Press, centered on South Common in Lincoln, a historic English city roughly 140 miles north of London. The site was once home to the Hospital of the Holy Innocents, which was founded between the late 11th and early 12th centuries. MYSTERIOUS SETTLEMENT DISCOVERED AFTER RESIDENTS SEEMINGLY PACKED UP AND VANISHED During a three-day excavation, archaeologists from the British television program "Time Team" uncovered traces of medieval walls and possible living quarters. The hospital operated for nearly 500 years, housing up to 20 leprosy patients at a time, officials said.  The findings build on an excavation that took place last year, when volunteers unearthed walls, building surfaces and artifacts linked to the former hospital. This time, researchers identified traces of small, square features that may have served as individual living quarters or enclosed yards for patients. The structures have never been excavated before, researchers said, according to Jam Press. SHOCKING DISCOVERY OF ANCIENT BONES TURNS COUPLE'S KITCHEN RENOVATION INTO 'CRIME SCENE' The findings offer a rare glimpse into how leprosy patients may have lived during the Middle Ages, including who could afford to receive care. "You'd need to have resources to get in here," Professor Carenza Lewis of the University of Lincoln said, according to Jam Press. "If you had enough money and could buy your way into a leper hospital, it's a bit like getting a place in a private care home or something like that." Historical documents suggest the hospital accommodated up to 20 patients, who may have lived in separate structures with small yards, Lewis said.  CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER "We know that they had little sorts of curtilages [enclosed plots of land], which implies they're separate little buildings, little houses with a little yard, perhaps," she said. Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease, is a chronic bacterial infection that primarily affects the skin, nerves and eyes. Although the disease can cause severe disfigurement if left untreated, it is curable with antibiotics and still exists today. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE NEWS The excavation is part of a three-year research project led by Anglia Ruskin University, which aims to learn more about the people who lived, worked and died at the medieval hospital.

TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ "Lincoln has an extraordinary archaeological story, and this site promises to give us the opportunity to uncover a fascinating part of it," Taylor said, Jam Press reported. The findings come after a similar discovery last year in York, England, where a sinkhole in a city street exposed the remains of one of northern England's largest medieval hospitals. The remains were believed to belong to St. Leonard's Hospital and date back to the 12th or 13th century.

Miami won the game 28-25 and outgained New York 377-360. The Jets put pressure on the Dolphins in the fourth quarter, outscoring them 11-7, but a crucial three-and-out led to a Dolphins touchdown on the team’s next drive, which only took just over a minute. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! ESPN’s Mike Greenberg, a noted Jets superfan, took issue with Jets head coach Aaron Glenn’s explanation for not using his timeouts at the end of the first half. New York’s second quarter included an interception, a punt and one play to end the half. The Dolphins had two possessions – a punt and a 15-play, 91-yard touchdown drive. "Maybe we should've called our timeouts to get it back, but at that point, we just felt like we were going to stop them and be able to get the ball back," Glenn told reporters. But Greenberg wrote on X that Glenn’s answer about game management was "inexcusable." CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE "This answer is inexcusable," Greenberg wrote. "Game management is the most important part of this job and he is as bad at it as any coach I’ve ever seen. "There may not be any point in making the change now, but it’s over, it’s just a matter of when." New York is only 2-5 on the season. The Jets started with a win over the Tennessee Titans, nearly beat the Green Bay Packers, Detroit Lions and then topped the AFC North-leading Cleveland Browns. Other losses were against the Chicago Bears and New England Patriots. There have been highs but the lows have been almost too much to handle if you’re a Jets fan. The Jets have not made the playoffs since 2010 and it looks like the unfortunate streak is going to continue this season unless something really changes.

A blue zone is a geographic region where residents show unusually high rates of longevity and survival into old age. The newest blue zone candidate is a small village called Bolotana, located on the Italian island of Sardinia. In a 2024 snapshot, 10 of the village's 2,262 residents were at least 100 years old, according to National Geographic — roughly 10 times the Sardinian average and 11 times the U.S. average. PEOPLE WHO LIVE TO 100 HAVE 3 DRINKS IN COMMON, LONGEVITY EXPERT SAYS A team of researchers, including Dan Buettner — founder of Blue Zones, a company focused on longevity, and a National Geographic Fellow — set out to investigate Bolotana’s exceptional lifespan. The findings were published in Frontiers in Aging. Buettner highlighted three lifestyle habits that are common among Bolotana’s long-lived residents. The study did not establish that these habits directly cause longevity, but researchers are examining how the village’s environment and traditions may contribute to its unusually high survival rates. "The international team of demographers, their population scientists … were able to examine the birth records, death records and baptismal records and see that this is probably the richest, most complete data on centenarians in the world," Buettner told Fox News Digital. AMERICA'S LIFESPAN HAS DOUBLED SINCE 1776 — EXPERTS REVEAL WHAT CHANGED "For those of us who want to make it into our 90s and 100s in full health, this place does it better than anyplace else in the world." The strongest longevity advantage appeared among Bolotana’s women, who ranked second only to Hong Kong for life expectancy at age 70 and survival from age 70 to 100. The original Sardinian blue zone was identified in the late 1990s and formally described in research published around 2000. Located in the mountainous region roughly 68 miles from Bolotana, it is known for unusually strong male longevity, according to Buettner. Although Bolotana remains partly pastoral, it is also an agricultural community. Buettner suggested that this may mean men spend more time at home helping with household responsibilities, potentially reducing the burden on women. "In the original blue zone in the highlands, the [women] worried about the finances and raising children and the leaky roof," he said. "They're all alone. Here, men are participating more, and that could explain why women are doing better, because they're only bearing half the stress load instead of almost all of it." Buettner believes the village’s strong social connections may be one factor behind the women’s longevity, although the study did not establish a cause. GEORGIA WOMAN CELEBRATES 112TH BIRTHDAY, REVEALS HER SECRET TO A LONG LIFE "We see women gathering in the library, baking bread together, making sweets together and going to church together," he said. "So, you see a much more socially connected society among the women in Bolotana than in the other blue zones." As in many parts of Italy, Bolotana has a strong Catholic tradition. Buettner said church attendance may provide residents with faith, social connection and a sense of belonging. "It’s a sense of community, but it's also people proactively understanding that sitting down with a friend and talking about your troubles and your day with somebody who cares about you is a much more powerful drug than a pharmaceutical," Buettner said. "The human species has shown this over and over, and Bolotana is a perfect example." Diet varies among blue zones, but Bolotana’s traditional fare is largely plant-based, with a focus on beans, vegetables, wheat, olives and olive oil, along with some cheese and meat. DOCTOR'S 10 RULES FOR LIVING LONGER, CELEBRATING MORE BIRTHDAYS AND MAKING EXTRA YEARS COUNT "About 90% of a centenarian's diet has been all plant-based," Buettner said. "Not protein, by the way. These aren't protein loaders. These are complex carbohydrate loaders." A Bolotanese breakfast might consist of a piece of bread or cheese with local olives and a cup of coffee. Lunch, the biggest meal of the day that starts in the early afternoon, is "almost always" a minestrone soup made with locally grown seasonal vegetables and lots of beans. CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES "Beans are the cornerstone of the longevity diet here," Buettner said. "Garbanzo beans, lentil beans, pinto beans, cannellini beans — these are really the all-star of the diet." CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER Traditionally, residents ate meat about five times per month, usually as a celebratory food. In the highlands, people traditionally cooked with lard, Buettner said, while Bolotana residents use olive oil from ancient trees. Researchers are studying whether the oil’s unusually high levels of odd-chain fatty acids could be relevant to longevity. Bolotana residents are not deliberately pursuing longer lives, the longevity researcher noted. The region has little emphasis on gym culture or biohacking. "These are real humans with an average set of genes," Buettner said. "These aren’t superhumans with superhuman discipline or better genes." TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ "They’re not chasing longevity," he added. "It is the product of their environment." Because Bolotana’s streets are steep and residents rarely drive within town, they typically walk to shops, cafés, workplaces and friends’ homes, Buettner said. "It’s this sort of unconscious walking that’s far more important for longevity than going to the gym." Buettner said Bolotana is an example of how daily routines and surroundings can encourage movement without requiring residents to schedule formal exercise. Residents of walkable American communities have a three- to five-year life-expectancy advantage over those in less-walkable areas, he said. "If we want a healthier America, we have to start thinking about shaping our neighborhoods and our cities so people can unconsciously move and not rely on heaping another obligation on their busy lives to remember to go to the gym," the expert said. "Most of the things that lead to Bolotana longevity are also pleasant and make the journey a joy," he added.

The American Dream demands more than comfort te 2026-10-26T11:10:08.208Z What will we leave our children? The American Dream demands more than comfort As Americans prepare to vote in the Nov. 3 midterm elections, much of the national conversation centers on which party will control Congress and what the next two years will mean for the country. Those are important questions, but a more consequential one reaches beyond the next election and our own lifetimes: What kind of America are we leaving to our children and grandchildren? For much of our history, the American Dream was rooted in the conviction that the next generation should inherit greater freedom and opportunity than the one before it. Men and women crossed oceans, endured hardship, established communities and sacrificed their own comfort because they believed their children could enjoy opportunities they might never experience. They understood that the measure of a generation was not simply what it accumulated, but what it preserved for those who followed. Consider the early settlers who crossed the Atlantic seeking religious freedom. They knew their journey would demand sacrifice, yet they believed the freedom to worship according to conscience was worth securing. Their convictions helped shape the American understanding that faith and conscience belong to the individual, not the government. ARKANSAS TAKES HOME TOP RANKING FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AFTER GOV SANDERS EXPANDS KEY PROTECTIONS In his 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptists, President Thomas Jefferson affirmed the constitutional protection of religious conscience against government interference. Religious liberty was never intended to remove faith from public life. It was intended to protect the right of every American to freely exercise their religious beliefs and worship without government subjugation. Later generations of immigrants came seeking economic opportunity. They worked difficult jobs, built businesses and raised families hoping their children might achieve more than they had. Their circumstances differed from those of the early settlers, but they shared a fundamental understanding of the American Dream: sacrificing something in the present to secure something greater for the future. SEN TIM SCOTT: MY FAMILY'S JOURNEY SHOWS AMERICA'S FOUNDING PROMISE IS ALIVE AND STRONG Somewhere along the way, we began losing that generational perspective. The American Dream increasingly became a question of what we could acquire and enjoy during our lifetimes rather than what we could build for those who followed. We became more concerned with protecting our immediate comfort than confronting the difficult decisions necessary to preserve our children's future. Our national finances illustrate that shift. The federal government continues operating with enormous annual deficits, adding to a national debt future generations will inherit. Reasonable people disagree over spending priorities, taxation and government's proper role. Yet every American should consider whether we are willing to make difficult decisions today or are content to pass their consequences to children who have no voice in making them. AMERICA’S DEBT CRISIS THREATENS OUR CHILDREN’S FUTURE. WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO FIX IT This is ultimately a question of stewardship that extends far beyond government spending. A free society cannot survive indefinitely on previous generations' sacrifices while refusing to make sacrifices of its own. Religious liberty, economic opportunity, strong families and healthy communities require more than appreciation for what we inherited. They require the conviction to preserve those blessings for people we may never meet. Christians should understand this responsibility. Scripture calls believers to care for others and pass the knowledge of God from one generation to the next. In John 13:34, Jesus commands His disciples to love one another as He has loved them. That love is demonstrated through what we are willing to give of ourselves for others. AMERICA’S NEXT 250 YEARS DEPEND ON PASSING FAITH AND FREEDOM TO OUR CHILDREN Yet I wonder whether we have become so accustomed to inherited freedoms that we have forgotten what preserving them requires. Previous generations endured persecution and extraordinary hardship to secure religious liberty. Today, Christians sometimes hesitate to express their convictions because doing so might cost them their reputation, influence or standing within their circles. We should consider what that reveals about our understanding of sacrifice. Pastors and Christian leaders know the pressure to avoid controversy. Biblical teaching can offend cultural sensibilities, challenge prevailing assumptions or invite criticism. Yet Hebrews 4:12 (KJV) reminds us that "the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword." SOUTHERN BAPTIST PRESIDENT CALLS ON PASTORS TO 'STEP UP' AHEAD OF MIDTERM ELECTIONS Scripture was never intended to conform to the prevailing opinions of the culture, but to penetrate the hearts and consciences of those who hear it. The temptation is to soften the message, avoid difficult subjects and preserve comfort through silence. Yet Christian leadership has never been about making faith comfortable. It is about proclaiming biblical truth without compromise, equipping believers to live faithfully and preparing the next generation to understand the convictions entrusted to them. The church cannot fulfill that responsibility by retreating from questions shaping American life. Christian communicators, whether standing behind a pulpit, speaking into a microphone or reaching audiences through digital media, must communicate truth with clarity and courage. The platforms may change, but our responsibility to pass on what we have received does not. EXCLUSIVE: NEW CHURCH CAMPAIGN SAYS AMERICA'S FAMILY CRISIS WON'T BE SOLVED BY POLITICS, BUT BY PASTORS November's elections will determine who holds political power for a season. They will not determine whether parents teach their children the value of freedom, pastors faithfully proclaim Scripture or Christians sacrifice their comfort for future generations. Those responsibilities cannot be delegated to Washington, nor do they disappear when an election ends. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION The American Dream was never meant to be a purely personal arrangement, a private guarantee that each of us, in our own lifetime, could claim "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness" for ourselves alone. It was always a longer promise: a commitment to build and keep a country in which those same freedoms and opportunities would remain available to the generations who follow. We enjoy the possibility of that dream because earlier Americans treated it as something worth protecting beyond their own lifetimes. They understood that the real measure of the work was not only what they could enjoy, but what they left standing for those who had not yet arrived. In that sense, the dream was never finished in any single generation; it was entrusted, again and again, to the next. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adf350ff04c506ce1c00dad $800-a-day penalty threatens to bleed investigative reporter dry as explosive legal fight escalates te 2026-10-26T11:10:07.395Z $800-a-day penalty threatens to bleed investigative reporter dry as explosive legal fight escalates Former Fox News investigative reporter Catherine Herridge is asking the Supreme Court to protect her confidential sources after a federal court ordered her to identify who helped expose a woman's alleged ties to China's military. The outcome of the case could dramatically reshape the legal protections afforded to journalists working in the U.S. under the First Amendment. Herridge was held in contempt and ordered to pay $800 per day for refusing to reveal sources behind her 2017 reporting on Yanping Chen, a Chinese American businesswoman who operated a university attended by U.S. military personnel. Her reporting raised questions about Chen's alleged past as a colonel for the People's Liberation Army (PLA) of China and the potential exposure of sensitive information about American service members. The Department of War subsequently cut off military tuition assistance funding to Chen's university following a national security review, according to a filing by Herridge's legal team. The school had been receiving approximately $200,000 a month in taxpayer-funded tuition assistance. NEW YORK TIMES BLASTS ‘ABUSIVE’ TRUMP SUBPOENAS TARGETING REPORTERS’ SOURCES Now Chen, who was investigated by federal authorities but never charged with a crime, is pursuing a lawsuit against the federal government, alleging that officials improperly disclosed her private records to Herridge in violation of the Privacy Act. She has sought to compel Herridge to identify her sources as part of that litigation. The dispute has reached the Supreme Court, where Herridge's attorneys are asking the justices to reconsider the legal standard used to force journalists to disclose confidential sources in civil cases. Her legal team argues that the lower courts failed to adequately weigh the broader circumstances of Chen's lawsuit, including the Pentagon's national security findings and whether Chen can ultimately prevail in her claims against the government. The case also exposes a longstanding disagreement among federal appeals courts over the scope of the reporter's privilege, an issue the Supreme Court has not comprehensively addressed in more than five decades. Herridge's original investigation, published while she was working at Fox News in 2017, examined Chen's background and her operation of the University of Management and Technology in Arlington, Virginia, which enrolled U.S. military personnel using Defense Department tuition assistance. The reporting included photographs appearing to show Chen in a Chinese military uniform and examined allegations that she had concealed her previous military service when applying for U.S. immigration benefits. It also raised concerns about the university's collection of information on American service members, including details about their military training and professional backgrounds. A whistleblower interviewed for the investigation alleged that information stored on the school's computers could be accessed remotely from China. WASHINGTON POST BOASTS IT STARED DOWN ‘UNWARRANTED’ JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SUBPOENA Federal authorities had previously investigated Chen over potential immigration violations and counterintelligence concerns, but prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia declined to bring charges. Following Herridge's reporting, the Pentagon completed a review of Chen's university and terminated its eligibility for military tuition assistance funding, according to her filing. Chen subsequently filed suit against the federal government, alleging that confidential information from government records had been improperly disclosed to Herridge. She contends that identifying the officials responsible for the alleged disclosures is necessary to establish her Privacy Act claims. Herridge refused to identify her sources, arguing that compelling disclosure would undermine the ability of journalists to obtain sensitive information from government officials and whistleblowers. A federal judge ultimately ordered Herridge to disclose the sources and held her in civil contempt when she refused. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit upheld the order, prompting her appeal to the Supreme Court. Fox News Media has continued to support Herridge's legal fight, including covering her legal fees, despite her departure from the network in 2019. At the center of Herridge's petition is a disagreement among federal appeals courts over how judges should evaluate a journalist's claim of privilege when confidential sources are sought in civil litigation. The filing argues that the D.C. Circuit applied a narrow test focused primarily on whether Chen needed the information to pursue her lawsuit and whether she had exhausted alternative means of obtaining it. They contend that courts should also consider the strength of the underlying lawsuit and the consequences of compelling disclosure, particularly when confidential national security sources may be involved. The distinction could prove significant for journalists reporting on sensitive government matters. Under the standard challenged by Herridge, a plaintiff could obtain a reporter's confidential sources even if other deficiencies in the lawsuit would ultimately prevent the plaintiff from recovering damages, according to the petition.

That's how things are following a loss to the previously winless Tennessee Titans last week, the firing of general Chris Ballard one day later and a follow-up loss to the punchless but somehow undefeated Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. That is definitely the way things are when the wife of the team's biggest star is talking openly about her husband getting traded. SEASON IS ALREADY OVER FOR THESE FOUR NFL TEAMS AFTER WEEK 5, YOU CAN WRITE THEM OFF NOW Yes, you read that right. Jonathan Taylor's wife Ayanna Taylor over the weekend posted two videos on Instagram saying "players that once seemed untouchable," like her husband, "may now be on the table" in potential trades. Want the most depressing part of this for Colts fans? Jonathan Taylor agreed with his wife's videos that make it clear their family is on what she called "a Colts transaction watch." "I think it's been out there already so her adding doesn't really change anything," Taylor said after Sunday's loss. "Everybody's on TikTok these days so we just have to come in to work and focus." MYSTERY TEAM IN MARVIN HARRISON TRADE STEPS FORWARD, AS TEXANS DEMECO RYANS CONFIRMS REUNION WITH CJ STROUD Ayanna Taylor posted about the dire situation facing her husband's team by painting in her second video the truly depressing picture of what's next. "Look at the situation that they put themselves in," she said. "They have a losing record, they just fired their 10-year GM, and they have no draft picks. How are they going to get new leadership to come in when they really have no options for new leadership to transform the team? "Let's think about it: What do you do when you don't have what you need and you don't have the money to pay for it? ... You trade. That's what brings us back to my husband." FROM THE CHARGERS TO THE COLTS AND FALCONS, WHICH OF THE NFL'S EIGHT WINLESS TEAMS ARE ALREADY IN PANIC MODE Taylor, who scored a touchdown and averaged 5.3 yards per rush against the stifling Vikings defense, is obviously a trade chip for interim general manager Ed Dodds. If Dodds can move Taylor, or right defensive tackle DeForest Buckner, or left defensive tackle Grover Stewart or guard Quenton Nelson, or anyone not named Tyler Warren, before the Nov. 10 trade deadline, then it is a good bet he's going to consider it. That, of course, is going to make coach Shane Steichen's life a little tougher. But maybe Steichen should have considered that before his team lost 12 of its last 14 games dating back to last season and is the only one in the NFL to lose to the Titans this season. Besides, Steichen has bigger problems. Bigger problem No. 1: Whether or not to bench quarterback Daniel Jones who has been a bitter disappointment. Jones threw another interception in a key situation on Sunday when the Colts were trying to rally for a go-ahead touchdown. Jones has thrown four touchdown passes and seven interceptions in seven games and he's completing passes at a career-low clip of under 60%. "I have not thought about a quarterback change," Steichen said after the game.  Well, Steichen should be thinking about it and problem No. 2: Owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon put him and Ballard on notice at the end of last year that the expectations for this year would be high. Ballard is gone, so if the current trend continues firing Steichen is the next logical move. Maybe Steichen can survive the looming garage sale of players over the next couple of weeks. But Steichen would be wise to also put himself on "Colts transaction watch."

And this has become perhaps too familiar for the team's coach this season. The Jets lost to the previously winless Miami Dolphins on Sunday, and while that can happen because the other guys get paid, too, the Dolphins had been getting paid without winning before this one. In fact, the Dolphins had been getting paid without even leading a game all season. WINLESS DOLPHINS END HISTORIC DROUGHT AND THEY DID IT AGAINST THE ALMOST-AS-HAPLESS JETS But against Glenn's team, the Dolphins looked like a playoff contender. That left Glenn disappointed. And defeated. "When it comes to this game, highly disappointed," Glenn lamented. "Disappointed in myself, first and foremost." NFL'S DUMBEST MOMENT OF WEEK 2 GOES TO JETS COACH AARON GLENN WHO PLAYED NOT TO LOSE AT END OF REGULATION Glenn is familiar with losing this season, but when the head coach is blaming himself for his clock management, that familiar spot is problematic. And that's exactly where Glenn was for the second time this season — guilty of the dumbest moment of the week. That Week 7 moment: The Dolphins held a 14-7 lead with 8:44 left before halftime, and then they went on the Earth's longest drive. They marched from their own 9-yard line to the Jets 32-yard line with only two minutes remaining until half. Holding all his timeouts, Glenn stood idly on the sideline like a spectator. 'I LOST US THAT GAME': NICK SIRIANNI MAKES DECISION THAT OPENED DOOR TO A JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS COMEBACK WIN "Yeah, I think that's one they were already down in the red zone, correct?" Glenn asked reporters who wanted an explanation. "That’s the one you’re talking about?" Well, the Dolphins weren't in the red zone. They were at the New York 25 with 1:16 to play. But Glenn saved his timeouts for use in the year 2037, when he maybe gets his next head coaching opportunity. So the clock ticked, and ticked and ticked, and the next time Miami ran a play, there were only 35 left on the clock. The Dolphins eventually scored again, and the moment passed, but the clock management from the coach was curious. "Man, we felt like we were going to stop them," Glenn said. "And maybe we should have called our timeouts to get it back, but at that point, we just felt like we were going to stop them and be able to get the ball back. "That's something that we should have done is use our timeouts." Yes, correct. Glenn's explanation actually makes zero sense because if the Jets had done as he thought and held the Dolphins scoreless, using the timeouts would have given the Jets the football back with more time remaining on the clock. As it was, the Jets got the ball back with six seconds remaining in the first half, which New York used to merely take a knee. The second half witnessed something of a Jets rally before the Dolphins eventually prevailed 28-25, but that made the failure to a call time out more glaring because the Jets might have used that extra time in the first half to manage a field goal — which eventually was the difference in the game. The Jets, by the way, are 2-5 and Glenn is in serious trouble. His teams are terrible just before halftime, having been outscored 107-6 in the coach's 24 games. And owner Woody Johnson has not given Glenn a vote of confidence like he did at this stage in the 2025 season. Johnson declined to speak with reporters at the League Fall Meeting last week.

"We all have to get better, from coaching to playing to everything that we’re doing, we have to get better," Glenn said. "... We know what’s going to happen from the outside in, we accept that, and it is what it is. "This is a time where our guys, we’ve got to lock arms to make sure that everything that we get as far as energy and connection is going to be built from within, and we understand that. "But we’ve got to play better, and our fans deserve better than that, and that starts with me." If Glenn continues to mismanage the clock, a coaching change is going to start with him.

"He would get them going every time. He would get them booing me if I was a bad guy, cheering me if I was a good guy, until eventually I found my feet and then he would abuse me every time and I loved every second of it.

Kenneth Card took to TikTok in early October to warn other customers that he received a sirloin instead of a filet mignon three times at a Texas Roadhouse in Forsyth, Illinois. His post has since gotten over 30,000 views. Card told Fox News Digital that his experience working in hotel and restaurant kitchens preparing and cutting steaks made him confident he could tell the difference.

Card said he has been going to the Texas Roadhouse location about once a week for over a year, and had even built a rapport with staff. The first time it happened, he told staff he thought he had received the wrong steak and they gave him a filet. On his next visit, he said, he ate the steak without raising the issue. When he ordered filet mignon again on a third visit, Card said, he spoke with a manager.

The increase is hitting as families prepare for a holiday built around candy. Shoppers, however, still plan to spend billions on Halloween treats, even as rising prices make affordability part of the seasonal calculation. Candy prices rose 7.7% over the year through September, more than twice the overall inflation rate of 3.7%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The figure tracks candy and chewing gum broadly, rather than Halloween-specific products. But higher prices haven’t pushed candy out of the Halloween budget. The National Retail Federation expects Americans to spend $4.1 billion on candy this year as part of a record $13.5 billion in overall Halloween spending. Its survey found that 96% of Halloween shoppers plan to buy sweets. "Consumers continue to make Halloween a spending priority, but they are also approaching the season with affordability in mind," NRF Vice President of Industry and Consumer Insights Allison Zeller said. THE FAMILY BEHIND AN ICONIC AMERICAN FAIR FOOD REVEALS THE SECRET TO ITS STAYING POWER The NRF found that 31% of shoppers plan to comparison shop if prices are higher than expected, while 26% will look for coupons or sales. Retailers are offering products across a range of price points to help shoppers celebrate within their budgets, Zeller said. NIQ said rising costs for housing, transportation and everyday essentials are shaping spending decisions, but Halloween remains an occasion consumers are willing to protect. That resilience showed up in last year’s sales. Halloween confectionery sales rose 7.6% in 2025 even as unit sales fell 2.5%, suggesting shoppers spent more while taking home fewer items. Chocolate had the largest average unit-price increase among the confectionery categories NIQ tracked, at 11.5%.

The National Confectioners Association said candy makers and retailers offer seasonal promotions and different package sizes to give shoppers options at various price points.

In his first major interview since returning to the U.K. with his family, the Duke of Sussex told GQ he wants to make peace with his father and brother. However, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told Fox News Digital that Harry's willingness to publicly discuss his strained family relationships only makes the royals more reluctant to extend an olive branch. "The peace offering is already undermined as it is public," said Fitzwilliams. "That continues to be his big mistake. He cannot be trusted. [The Sussexes] had already launched brutal attacks on the royal family [with their tell-alls]. Family disputes are bitter. But numerous interventions from 'friends' and interviews like Harry's in GQ make this highly unlikely." PRINCE HARRY SAYS ‘MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO RECONCILE’ WITH ROYAL FAMILY Speaking about the family rift, Harry told GQ: "Some people don't want it to work out. I want it to work out. With everything else that's going on in the world, the most important thing is to reconcile — that's the key point." "Scars stick around forever," Harry continued. "But what your perception is, and what your mindset is to those things that have happened, letting go of the past. That’s something that I would encourage everybody to do: If there’s certain things from the past that are still affecting you every day, that’s harder to let go of. But, for me, there’s enough drama in the world and enough drama in people’s lives to continue with issues with family." Harry also told GQ that he has been "really criticized" for sharing his side of the story. WATCH HERE: KING CHARLES URGED TO BRING PRINCE HARRY, MEGHAN MARKLE BACK INTO FOLD: EXPERT "I find it fascinating because everybody else is allowed to tell their version of my story, but God forbid I should be able to tell the other side of it." Royal broadcaster Helena Chard told Fox News Digital that although Harry may yearn for reconciliation after years of the Sussexes publicly airing their grievances, "the palace doesn't trust Harry and Meghan." Chard said Harry's decision to speak publicly "proves Prince William's fear — anything said in private will end up in print." "Vindication on Megxit and absolution without apology do not equate to reconciliation," Chard added. Fox News Digital reached out to Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace for comment. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back from their roles as senior royals in 2020, citing intense media scrutiny and a lack of support from the palace. After moving to California that year, the couple discussed their struggles in interviews and documentaries. Harry's 2023 memoir, "Spare," further strained his relationship with the royals. Several experts told Fox News Digital that Harry and William are still not on speaking terms. On Oct. 15, the Sussexes attended a series of charity events in Nottingham, marking their first major joint outing since their reported return to the U.K. The appearances drew attention from royal experts, many of whom compared them to official royal engagements. GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE In January 2020, Queen Elizabeth II made clear following the Sandringham Summit that there would be no "half in, half out" role for the Sussexes. They couldn't remain working members of the royal family while pursuing independent, income-generating ventures. "Following conversations with the duke, the queen has written confirming that in stepping away from the work of the royal family it is not possible to continue with the responsibilities and duties that come with a life of public service," Buckingham Palace said in a statement on Feb. 19, 2021. In response, the couple issued a statement of their own, saying: "We can all live a life of service. Service is universal." Shortly after the couple returned to the U.K., Buckingham Palace released a letter from the Lord Chamberlain, written on behalf of King Charles III, stressing that there was "no change" to their status. The letter stated that Harry and Meghan are "no longer working members of the royal family" and that their charitable work "is a personal matter for them both and undertaken in their private capacity." "In short, their position is akin to private citizens with commercial and charitable interests," the letter added. A source close to the Sussexes then pushed back against the description of the couple as "private citizens." LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS "They are public figures," the source told People magazine. "Members of the public know who they are. The idea that they can live a normal, 'private' life is sadly not realistic." Another friend of the couple told The Times that Harry and Meghan "hate" the phrase "working members of the royal family." "'Working members of the royal family' is a really lazy phrase," the friend told The Times. "He hates it, she hates it. They are not 'working' for the institution, but they are members of the royal family, and they work." The friend said the Sussexes also dislike the term "former royals." "Things like Nottingham aren't done in the name of the institution or the crown, but Harry is the son of the king, he is still a member of the royal family, he's just not a member of the institution. It's misleading to call them 'former royals.' It has an impact on how they're perceived and the way people talk about them." A friend of the Sussexes told Hello! magazine that Harry and Meghan never agreed to the late queen's decision to prohibit a "half in, half out" arrangement. PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE "It doesn't trouble them," the friend said. "They never agreed they wouldn't be half in, half out. That was what was decided and foisted upon them." "They’re just living their lives and they can, because they’re financially independent," the friend added. Fox News Digital reached out to Archewell for comment. British royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital that former palace courtiers were appalled by the unidentified friend's remarks. "Harry publicly declared he'd accepted the agreement with his grandmother, the queen," Fordwich said. Royal broadcaster Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital that the royal family, often referred to as "The Firm," made "a mistake" by not allowing the Sussexes to resume their royal duties and support the king. "Harry and Meghan are not private citizens — this was decreed by King Charles in the letter created by the Lord Chamberlain which, in my view, was humiliating for the couple," Turner said. "What that means is that Harry and Meghan can do whatever they want right now. … It just goes to show at the moment that whoever is advising the royal family [is] constantly making mistakes. Because if they really wanted to control Harry and Meghan, they would invite them back so that they can be part of the royal family and could actually control what's going on." "Yet the same accusations are levied against Meghan and Harry when they apparently have decided to do an event for themselves in Nottingham," Turner said. "What is the difference? I ask. Because, in reality, they are allowed to do whatever they want to do now to actually promote their charities and good causes." Fordwich also suggested there was a "divide" between King Charles III and Prince William over how to handle Harry's return to the U.K. "The divide is as follows: The king craves family united, keeping the door open and aiming to facilitate some sort of way back, while he is though completely united with Prince William that the Sussexes will never again represent the royal family," Fordwich explained. "Obviously, from both his actions and words, Harry is rather desperate for reconciliation," she said. "But with every public statement and action, rather ironically, he's actually thwarting any remote chance now of even a familial thawing." PRINCE HARRY RISKS 'LOBBING A GRENADE' AT PRINCE WILLIAM AS CHANCE TO HEAL YEARSLONG FEUD EMERGES: EXPERT Fordwich doesn't believe Harry will reconcile with his family anytime soon. "Writers of 'The Crown' must be sitting with pens poised at this now ridiculous situation escalating," Fordwich said. "Although Harry and Meghan wish to build proper bridges. the king apparently refuses to even discuss the subject."

Court filings reveal the defense has requested more time to consider reaching a plea deal. Timothy Hudson, who was 16 at the time, is accused of the sexual assault and strangling death of Anna Kepner, 18, aboard the Carnival Horizon on Nov. 7, 2025. He is being charged as an adult in the federal case in Florida. The plea deadline was originally Friday, Oct. 23 but that has now been extended to January to give the defense team more time.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adf18f4f04c506ce1c00960 AI is changing everything. Universities must teach Americans how to keep up te 2026-10-26T09:10:12.611Z AI is changing everything. Universities must teach Americans how to keep up A century ago, when universities wanted to mold students into highly "literate" graduates, they exposed them to the greatest works of literature, assigned analytical essays, and held classroom debates. As the internet age dawned a few decades ago, colleges recognized the need to update their curricula and teaching methods — to ensure that students didn't merely master the great books, but also acquired the digital literacy skills to succeed in the 21st-century workforce. Now, another seismic shift is underway. Artificial intelligence is reshaping how people learn and work at every stage of life. This time, universities will not only have to update what and how they teach, but also how long they teach it. In a world where AI evolves faster than any four-year degree can keep pace, universities have a unique opportunity and a responsibility to redesign their offerings and programs to ensure their students — past, present, and future — are AI literate. CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY AIMS TO PRODUCE 'IRREPLACEABLE' GRADUATES AS AI RESHAPES HIGHER EDUCATION Americans are adopting AI faster than any other technology in history. According to Pew Research Center, roughly half of U.S. adults now use AI in their everyday lives, up from one-third in 2024. People of all ages are turning to these tools for everything from financial advice to travel planning and healthcare information. But there is a big difference between simply using AI and using it effectively. THERE IS NO AI IN ARMAGEDDON. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS A TOOL, NOT AN APOCALYPSE A landmark experiment by researchers at Harvard Business School and Boston Consulting Group illustrates this distinction. The study found that consultants using leading AI models produced higher-quality work and completed tasks faster — but only when they recognized the technology's strengths and limitations. When they relied on AI for tasks outside its areas of competence, their performance was actually worse than that of a control group of consultants who weren't allowed to use AI at all. The researchers described this uneven boundary as AI's "jagged frontier" — it is superhumanly competent at certain tasks, while surprisingly incompetent at others. As a result, AI can boost productivity in areas where we have expertise, but we must be wary that it can mislead us in areas where we don’t. As the models become more and more capable, that frontier will continue to shift. But it will always exist. And understanding where that frontier is — and how to leverage the technology's strengths without turning a blind eye to its weaknesses — is the essence of AI literacy. THE BEST DEFENSE AGAINST HIGH-TECH AI SCAMS IS LOW-TECH SKEPTICISM, EXPERT WARNS And this literacy is increasingly important at any age. Recent college graduates may use AI to build software or analyze data. A mid-career manager may use it to automate routine work, summarize reports, or test new business ideas. A retiree may use it to navigate healthcare information, manage medications, or compare Medicare options. Each of these tasks requires more than knowing how to open an app or coding harness. People must also know which questions to ask, how much confidence to place in the answers, and when independent verification or expert advice is required — no matter whether they're filling out tax forms, comparing loan terms, or reviewing legal documents. Mastering those skills will require continuous learning, especially as AI becomes more capable and more deeply embedded in our lives. That is precisely where colleges and universities have an important role to play. Universities already have the basic infrastructure to meet that need. After all, many institutions maintain relationships with alumni through continuing education, professional certificates, executive education, and lifelong learning programs. Programs aimed at lifelong AI literacy — and, ultimately, AI fluency — belong alongside those offerings. These might take the form of short courses, stackable certificates, alumni refresher programs, community workshops, or employer partnerships. For example, MIT offers professional courses in AI prompt engineering. And my organization recently launched a free Applied AI microcredential for alumni. The program helps graduates across industries keep up with AI in real-world contexts — covering everything from common AI terminology to AI bias. Beyond career-focused instruction, universities could offer practical AI education for every stage of life. A new parent could learn how to evaluate AI-generated health advice for their child, while a retiree could take a workshop on spotting AI-powered financial scams. In the years ahead, AI literacy will become as essential as digital literacy is today. Universities have long helped people adapt to transformative changes in society. In the AI era, higher education should continue to embrace that responsibility by becoming lifelong partners in AI education. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adf18f3f04c506ce1c00957 California wants to spend $25 billion to put homebuyers deeper in debt te 2026-10-26T09:10:11.800Z California wants to spend $25 billion to put homebuyers deeper in debt California has a housing affordability problem. Homes are expensive. Down payments are enormous. Young families are struggling to buy their first house. So, what's California's latest idea? Get into the mortgage business with $25 billion in borrowing authority. Apparently, when housing becomes too expensive, the answer is to help people borrow even more money. BILLIONS SPENT BY KEY FEDERAL AGENCY HASN'T MADE AMERICAN DREAM OF HOMEOWNERSHIP ANY EASIER: REPORT Welcome to Proposition 37. On November's ballot, California voters will consider a proposal allowing the California Housing Finance Agency to issue up to $25 billion in revenue bonds to finance down-payment assistance. Here's how it works. Buyers put down as little as 3%. The state-backed program provides a second mortgage covering up to another 17%. The buyer finances the remaining 80% through a traditional mortgage. WE MUST HELP MORE PEOPLE BUY A HOME. IT’S KEY TO THE AMERICAN DREAM Sounds terrific. Except there's one little detail. The 17% isn't free money. It's another loan. And by the way, isn’t this the kind of strategy that sparked the last Great Recession of 2008? By offering people more and more money they couldn’t afford? And this distinction matters enormously. THE AMERICAN DREAM NOW COMES WITH A ZIP CODE: HERE'S WHERE STARTER HOMES ARE STILL WITHIN REACH Imagine buying an $800,000 California home. With a traditional 20% down payment, you'd need $160,000 upfront and borrow $640,000. Under Proposition 37, you could potentially put down just $24,000. The state-administered program would lend you another $136,000. Your first mortgage would still be $640,000. You've reduced your upfront cash requirement by $136,000. But you've also increased your total mortgage debt by $136,000. Assume a hypothetical 6.5% interest rate on the first mortgage and 7% on the second, both over 30 years. Your monthly principal and interest payments would increase from approximately $4,045 to $4,950. That's roughly $900 more every month. Property taxes, insurance and maintenance aren't included. Congratulations. You got into the house with less cash. AMERICA'S HOUSING MARKET COULD RUN OUT OF SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN HOMES Now you have a bigger monthly bill. Actual program interest rates haven't been established, so those numbers are illustrative. To be fair, Proposition 37 isn't a $25 billion taxpayer-funded giveaway. The proposal uses revenue bonds intended to be repaid through borrowers' mortgage payments, not California's general fund. The state's independent legislative analyst estimates no direct state or local government costs. Supporters argue that helping buyers finance newly constructed homes could encourage builders to increase supply. That's a legitimate economic argument. But it raises a bigger question. Does helping people borrow more money make houses cheaper? Not necessarily. It could actually make prices go up. We just saw this during COVID-19. Imagine a neighborhood with 100 families trying to buy 80 homes. Now give more families access to larger financing packages. How many homes are available? Still 80. Unless builders increase supply, additional purchasing power can put upward pressure on prices. That's basic economics. California needs more homes, not simply more creative ways to finance expensive ones. Make it easier to build. Reduce unnecessary permitting delays. Address construction costs. Allow more housing where people actually want to live. Those measures attack the underlying shortage. More borrowing primarily attacks the down payment. Those are not the same problem. There are families with excellent incomes who can afford monthly mortgage payments but struggle to accumulate six-figure down payments. A carefully structured loan program could help some of them become homeowners sooner. But helping buyers qualify for debt shouldn't be confused with reducing the price of housing. And the second mortgage still has to be repaid. California's proposal illustrates a question every homebuyer should ask before accepting financial assistance: Am I buying a more affordable home, or am I simply finding another way to afford the home? CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION Because those are two very different financial outcomes. And no matter how creatively California packages the financing, one rule of personal finance never changes. Borrowing more money doesn't make something cost less.

Now it’s up to Congress to finish the job te 2026-10-26T09:10:10.983Z Trump restored the Department of War. Now it’s up to Congress to finish the job I led a platoon of infantrymen in the 10th Mountain Division in Bermel, a rugged district in Afghanistan’s Paktika province on the Pakistan border. Our mission was the one American infantry carried for generations: close with and destroy the enemy. We protected the Afghan people by doing exactly that: waging war against the enemy who would have harmed them. Their safety was the result. War was the job. Every soldier in my platoon knew it. In combat, the fog of war settles over everything. Plans break. Radios fail. Young leaders make life-or-death decisions with no time to ask for guidance. What carries them through is a mission so clear that no one has to wonder what it is. TRUMP DELIVERS $1 BILLION TO MARINES TO RELIEVE DECADES-LONG SUFFERING OF AMERICAN HEROES AND THEIR FAMILIES That is why the name matters. "Department of War" states the mission from the very top: our military exists to fight and win the nation’s wars. President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth had the conviction to say so plainly. Many in Washington would have left the name alone. The president chose clarity over convenience when he signed the executive order authorizing the Department of War name. Hegseth has made that mission the standard for everything the department does, from restoring the warrior ethos to ensuring our warfighters remain the most lethal fighting force in the world. US ARMY HITS 2026 RECRUITING GOALS FOUR MONTHS EARLY, PETE HEGSETH ANNOUNCES AT WEST POINT COMMENCEMENT This is a restoration, not an invention. The War Department was established in 1789 under President George Washington. For more than 150 years, it carried America’s military through its most consequential conflicts, from Union victory in the Civil War to Allied victory in two world wars. The National Security Act of 1947 reorganized the military, and in 1949, the military leadership became the Department of Defense. The world has changed since then. The mission has not. When the nation calls, our warfighters must be ready to fight, win and come home. Washington understood this. In his first annual address to Congress in 1790, he declared, "To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace." Critics call the change symbolic, even unnecessary. They have it backward. Words define the mission, and the mission drives everything else. As for our allies, we owe them a clear statement of our core mission: to fight and win wars. Full stop. Clarity strengthens alliances. Ambiguity invites adversaries to test them. The president has acted. Now Congress must finish the job. The House and the Senate Armed Services Committee have both backed restoring the Department of War name in this year’s defense bill. Lawmakers should keep it in the final version and send it to the president’s desk. The name of the institution that sends Americans to fight belongs in law, not just in an executive order. Of course, a name alone does not make a military stronger. The name is a commitment, and the department must earn it every day. Every acquisition decision, training exercise and strategic investment should answer one question: Does it make our warfighters more capable of defeating any threat? From superintelligence and autonomous systems to advanced weapons and a revitalized defense industrial base, the United States must keep building the advantages to deter its adversaries and, if necessary, defeat them. HEGSETH UNLEASHES TRUMP'S 'ARSENAL OF FREEDOM' WITH WARNING TO DEFENSE GIANTS Fortress America, inspired by Trump’s historic and unconventional view of the world and his approach to national security, challenges traditional thinking and reimagines how America must defend itself in an increasingly dangerous world. The initiative aims to make our military bases able to function independently. They will have their own power sources, secure communications and critical supplies available even if civilian infrastructure breaks down. Under Fortress, we will boost manufacturing, create important reserves and ensure that all of our bases remain completely operational even during an attack. None of this diminishes the military’s other responsibilities. Our forces will still respond to disasters, support allies and carry out every lawful mission. And the name changes nothing about the constitutional roles of Congress or the president. But the possibility of war remains the defining reason America maintains a military. For the soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, Guardians and civilians who dedicate their lives to this mission, that distinction is not symbolic. They volunteer to stand between this country and its enemies. When called, they risk everything. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION The men I led in Bermel did exactly that. They deserved leaders, from the platoon to the Pentagon, who told them plainly what their mission was and made sure they were ready to accomplish it. Every warfighter serving today deserves the same. The goal of American military strength has never been perpetual war. It is lasting peace, secured by a force whose ability to prevail is beyond question. We prepare for war so that our adversaries never doubt the cost of starting one.

For Argentina-born Trump rally attendee Marcelo Sandrin, who has lived in the U.S. for roughly three decades, the shift is unmistakable — and Trump deserves substantial credit. Speaking to Fox News Digital outside the T. Ed Garrison Arena near Clemson, Sandrin pointed to Argentine President Javier Milei and the prospect of another rightward shift in Brazil as signs of what he sees as Trump's growing influence. The trend comes as the Trump administration has also asserted U.S. power more directly in the region, most dramatically through the capture of Venezuelan socialist leader Nicolás Maduro. "[Trump deserves] a lot of credit," Sandrin told Fox News Digital, adding Milei is a very forceful libertarian, right-wing/small-government figure, and that during the Trump era, South America has moved "more and more to the right." LATIN AMERICA’S CONSERVATIVE SHIFT FACES ITS BIGGEST TEST YET IN BRAZIL ELECTION In Argentina, Milei has emerged as one of Trump's most prominent ideological allies in the hemisphere, pursuing sweeping economic reforms and challenging the left-wing political establishment that dominated much of the country's recent history. "Brazil is almost going to be [moving] to the right again. It's only Mexico and Uruguay for now [on the left]. The problem in my country is one side or the other, they have to steal, stop stealing. That's the number one thing." Brazil could provide another test of the region's political direction, with allies of former President Jair Bolsonaro seeking to return the country to right-wing leadership. The country's political future remains contested, however, underscoring the limits of describing Latin America's political trajectory as a uniform rightward turn. The Trump administration's impact on the region has also extended beyond electoral politics. Venezuela underwent a dramatic change following the U.S. capture of longtime socialist leader Nicolás Maduro, an operation that Venezuela native and Manhattan Institute researcher Santiago Vidal Calvo argued reinforced Washington's influence across the hemisphere and weakened the political order Maduro represented. COAST GUARD FIREFIGHT PUTS US, MEXICO AT ODDS DESPITE COORDINATED BORDER OPERATIONS "I have no doubt that President Trump has had a good influential policy towards making governments more right-leaning in Latin America," Calvo said. "I think that got exacerbated with the capture of Maduro," he added. "A lot of people saw that the United States was again an influential force in the continent, that China was being kicked out in many fronts." Calvo argued that Trump, Milei and Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele have helped inspire right-leaning movements across the region, with implications extending beyond elections to immigration, trade, Chinese influence and national security. He also pointed to China, arguing that Beijing expanded its influence in Latin America through loan agreements that differ from conventional North American banking transactions and can give it leverage in countries' domestic affairs. SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER The regional shift is far from uniform. Mexico remains governed by the left-wing Morena movement, making it a political counterpoint to Trump's network of right-leaning regional allies. Uruguay also remains on the left, another exception to the trend Sandrin described. Calvo also singled out Secretary of State Marco Rubio for praise, arguing that the administration's Latin America strategy has been an underappreciated foreign-policy achievement. "I think one of the highlights of this Trump administration has been a good example of foreign policy in Latin America, especially at the hand of [Marco] Rubio," Calvo told Fox News Digital.

U.S. News ranking on affordability, which includes the cost of living and housing affordability, ranks Arizona 35th in affordability: 35th in cost of living and 36th in housing affordability. Arizona has a Democratic triplex — meaning Democrats control the governor’s office, the attorney general’s office, and the secretary of state’s office — while Republicans control both chambers of the legislature.  California ranks 50th in affordability: 50th in cost of living and 50th in housing affordability.  The top ten states for affordability according to their rankings were:  #1: Mississippi, ranked 2nd in cost of living and 2nd in housing affordability; #2: Arkansas, ranked 1st in cost of living and 3rd in housing affordability; #3: West Virginia, ranked 9th in cost of living and 1st in housing affordability; #4: Oklahoma, ranked 4th in cost of living and 5th in housing affordability; #5: Louisiana, ranked 5th in cost of living and 6th in housing affordability; #6: Iowa, ranked 3rd in cost of living and 8th in housing affordability; #7: Alabama, ranked 7th in cost of living and 4th in housing affordability; #8: South Dakota, ranked 6th in cost of living and 9th in housing affordability; #9: Kentucky, ranked 12th in cost of living and 7th in housing affordability; #10: North Dakota, ranked 8th in cost of living and 13th in housing affordability.

McMahon was joined by Arizona Congressman Abe Hamadeh (R-AZ-08) during the visit, which included discussions with university leadership, faculty, and students, along with a tour of GCU’s campus and business incubator. The visit provided an opportunity for GCU President Brian Mueller to showcase the university’s academic programs, Christian mission, and efforts to address workforce shortages in Arizona and across the country. During her visit, McMahon praised the university’s campus culture, educational approach, and emphasis on preparing students for employment in critical industries. U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon visited GCU yesterday, praising the university's servant leadership and Christ-centered worldview. Read more: https://t.co/8Roquzy2Oc — GCU News (@GCUNews49) October 23, 2026 “I’m coming away from Grand Canyon really understanding servant leadership,” McMahon said. “But also the understanding that there is certainly a very Christ-centered theme that you hear throughout the university, which I think is incredibly refreshing.” McMahon also emphasized the importance of making higher education more affordable while ensuring academic programs align with the nation’s workforce needs. “We certainly want to make sure that more and more colleges are affordable, and that we really are addressing the needs of the country,” McMahon added. The visit highlighted workforce shortages in nursing, education, construction, manufacturing, semiconductor production, and electrical trades. As part of the visit, McMahon met with university deans and students at GCU’s nearly completed Sheila and Mike Ingram Honors College building. Students discussed their academic experiences and opportunities to gain practical skills through university programs. McMahon also toured Canyon Ventures, GCU’s business incubator, and Lux Precision Manufacturing, where university representatives highlighted entrepreneurship initiatives and opportunities for students to gain hands-on industry experience. According to GCU, student-founded businesses associated with the incubator have generated millions of dollars in revenue while providing students with professional development and employment opportunities. Canyon Ventures Director Connor Vicary, CityServe Director Nathan Cooper, and Lux Precision Manufacturing founder and CEO Weston Smith participated in the tour, explaining how the university supports business development and workforce training. Mueller said the visit allowed federal education leadership to better understand the university’s growth and the impact of its educational model. “You can’t explain that to people when you’re 2,000 miles away. You have to be here, and you have to experience that,” Mueller said. “For her to take the time to do this and then to recognize us the way that she did at the end, we’ll always remember that.” GCU Vice President of Government Relations Dana Drew Shaw also emphasized the significance of having a senior federal education official observe the university’s programs firsthand. McMahon concluded the visit by commending the university’s educational environment and its approach to preparing students for the workforce. “I’ve now been to 47 states. I’ve been to many universities and schools. You get a feel pretty quickly from the general vibe and culture of campus, and this is A-1, A-plus,” McMahon said. “This is an incredibly marvelous institution,” she added. “I’m very happy. Thank you very, very much for being an example for other universities throughout the country and throughout the world.” Ethan Faverino is a reporter for AZ Free News.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adeff29f04c506ce1c005dd Midterms unleash what may be the nastiest barrage of attack ads yet te 2026-10-26T07:20:09.796Z Midterms unleash what may be the nastiest barrage of attack ads yet It’s last-minute garbage time as the midterms are just over a week away, with candidates uncorking their dirtiest ads, their filthiest charges and their ugliest rhetoric.  This barrage is fueled as never before by social media, and a surging public interest since any one of a dozen states could tip the battle for Senate control.   I feel like taking a shower.  The chairman of Montana’s Democratic Party, Shannon O’Brien, just resigned, underscoring the extreme sensitivity to national politics. The party, she said in an MS NOW essay, "is more divided than ever not because of our values but because of the race for the U.S. Senate… The winner of this race will almost certainly vote on a nominee to the Supreme Court." THE NINE KEY RACES THAT WILL DECIDE WHO CONTROLS THE SENATE, AND WHERE THEY STAND O’Brien said there are "real questions" about the Democratic candidate’s views on such issues as abortion and poverty. Virginia’s Democratic state senator L. Louise Lucas was just indicted on federal charges including racketeering conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy, related to her co-ownership of a cannabis business. The probe predates the Trump administration, but Lucas vowed to fight back: "I grew up under Jim Crow. I’ve seen what happens when people in power try to silence those who stand up to them." It’s like an echo chamber. President Trump has already nationalized the election by saying people should vote as if he’s on the ballot–and barnstorming with increasingly tough talk about the Democrats. A local council member in suburban Des Moines, Shellie Flockhart, appeared in an ad ripping a Democratic candidate as "just plain dangerous" for kids–but the Washington Post reported that she once pleaded guilty to child endangerment after driving drunk with two of her children.  A splashy piece in Vanity Fair, containing allegations against Jared Kushner, just happened to come out now, prompting Kushner’s lawyer to put the magazine on notice of a potential lawsuit.   The attorney for the president’s son-in-law argued that Vanity Fair had failed after repeated requests to produce "a single bank statement, wire transfer record, account number, or other verifiable evidence supporting these extraordinary accusations." DNC LAWSUIT ACCUSES TRUMP ADMINISTRATION OF DIVERTING $20M IN FEDERAL FUNDS FOR 'PROPAGANDA' ADS The article, which Kushner calls "completely insane," is based on a forthcoming book claiming that Russian security services hacked his phone, disclosing $700 million in secret foreign transactions, and that his signature is on an account set up by Saudi Arabia and the UAE.  The timing sounds more than coincidental. After decades of political coverage, I immediately knew that the toxic ad by Vivek Ramaswamy–featuring Democrat Amy Acton’s long-estranged mother calling her a liar–would be more than just an issue in the Ohio governor’s race. I sensed that it would quickly become a national referendum on sleaziness. The mother, Donna Arthur, sided with her second husband, even though Cledith Arthur was indicted for raping Amy Acton when she was 12 years old. The couple disappeared, and the stepfather was never tried before his death. Acton has had no contact with her mother since 1978.  To their credit, many Republicans, led by Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, have denounced the ad. Trump has defended it as fair game, saying he doesn’t know anything about a stepfather and that Democrats would certainly use such an ad against him. In far lesser-known races, the mudslinging grows by the day. In Texas, Republican Rep. Monica De La Cruz is sending a torrent of emails about her opponent, saying "Bobby Pulido is unfit to serve in Congress." When his fellow bandmate "was arrested on a child rape charge, Bobby went to his uncle, the crooked district attorney, and the charge disappeared along with three other felonies. Gone." ‘CAN’T TRUST AMY ACTON’: VIRAL AD DISTRACTS FROM WHAT’S REALLY AT STAKE IN CRITICAL RACE, GOP STRATEGIST SAYS Pulido told Politico that he never knew about his onetime accordionist’s child molestation charges more than a decade ago.  "I’ve apologized for everything that I’ve ever joked about that offended anybody… There’s a lot of tweets in there that I’m embarrassed of. There’s jokes that I’ve told that I apologize for," he said. But the Washington Free Beacon says Pulido "has given shifting stories and conflicting information surrounding his child molester bandmate."  In the more prominent Senate race in Texas between Ken Paxton and James Talarico, the attorney general has been running an AI-generated spot saying his Democratic opponent "voted for an income tax" and "Texans can’t afford Talarico’s radical agenda." Fact-checkers call the income tax charge false, and Talarico’s response ad says, "I don’t have to use AI, because the truth about Ken Paxton is bad enough." But how many voters, in Texas and across the country, will take the time to sort out such charges and counter-charges? How many will just tune out the high-decibel attacks? How many will hit the mute button?  Personally, I feel numb after scrutinizing the seemingly endless barrage on the airwaves. I fact-checked ads for five presidential cycles, but this is dirtier and more unhinged than ever. And the crucial question for 2026: How many voters will just stay home?

In an October 23 announcement, CCAGW endorsed 12 candidates for the U.S. Senate, 123 candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives, and six gubernatorial candidates nationwide based on their lifetime ratings, as reported in the organization’s 2025 Congressional Ratings. The Arizona endorsements include Representatives Eli Crane (R-AZ-02), Paul Gosar (R-AZ-09), and Abe Hamadeh (R-AZ-08), along with Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ-05), who is running for governor. According to CCAGW, Hamadeh received a lifetime rating of 100%, followed by Crane at 98%, Biggs at 97%, and Gosar at 93%. “During their tenures in the Senate and House, these members of Congress have been strong and reliable votes to curb government waste and reform Washington,” said CCAGW President Tom Schatz. “On top of their impressive voting records, they fought for increased accountability and transparency while opposing efforts to increase federal spending and adopt burdensome new regulations,” he added. Since 1989, CCAGW has evaluated congressional roll call votes involving federal spending, taxation, transparency, and government accountability to assess lawmakers’ records on fiscal responsibility. The organization’s 2025 Congressional Ratings examined 25 votes in the House of Representatives and 31 in the Senate during the first session of the 119th Congress. Lawmakers are scored on a scale of 0% to 100%, with those receiving scores between 80% and 99%  designated as Taxpayer Heroes. Members earning a perfect score of 100% receive the organization’s highest designation, Taxpayer Super Hero. Based on their lifetime ratings, all four endorsed Arizona candidates meet the organization’s criteria for its two highest categories. Nationwide, 38 House members and four senators earned perfect scores in the 2025 ratings, compared to one representative and one senator in 2024. An additional 102 House members and 40 senators earned scores between 80% and 99%, qualifying them as Taxpayer Heroes. At the opposite end of the rankings, 172 representatives and 42 senators received scores of zero percent in 2025. The ratings also revealed substantial differences in average scores between the parties. Senate Republicans averaged 85%, compared to zero percent among Senate Democrats and Independents. House Republicans averaged 83%, while House Democrats averaged 2%. The organization reported that Republican averages increased in both chambers compared to 2024, while Democratic averages declined. CCAGW said its endorsements recognize candidates who have demonstrated a commitment to limiting government spending, opposing additional regulations, and promoting greater accountability in Washington.

Minaj was invited onstage at the Port Huron rally by Trump, who was campaigning for Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers and gubernatorial candidate John James. "President Trump, it is an honor to stand with you every single time," Minaj said. "And I will continue to support you forever and ever. If you run again, I will support you again." Trump, who is serving his second term, is barred by the 22nd Amendment from being elected president to a third term. TRUMP BRUSHES OFF REPORTER QUESTION ABOUT RUNNING FOR THIRD TERM IN 2028: 'THE LAW IS VERY STRONG' The Grammy-nominated hip-hop star has increasingly voiced support for the president and recently served as a celebrity judge for the Small Business Administration on the Small Business Administration's Million Dollar Pitch Competition, serving as one of the celebrity judges. "I am so honored to be working with this president. He represents resilience," Minaj told the crowd. "Since he's come back, he's changed the energy of our country. And he's given us a future to look forward to, a brighter future for us and our children." She added, "I love him so much." Minaj also urged support for Republican candidates ahead of the midterm elections, as the party seeks victories in two major Michigan races. She described the upcoming vote as a "major turning point for our country." NICKI MINAJ OFFERS CAREER ADVICE TO YOUNG AMERICANS, DELIVERS BLUNT RESPONSE TO TRUMP CRITICS "We really need all of these great people to be elected," Minaj said. Minaj also addressed transgender-related issues involving children. "We don't want our children to be bombarded with sex changes, right?" Minaj said. "We don't want that for our children. We want people to leave the children alone. Leave them out of it." Trump introduced Minaj as the "queen of rap" before joking that he did not like someone stealing the spotlight. "I don't like being overshadowed," Trump quipped. "And this woman overshadows me, and I'm angry about it." NICKI MINAJ BLASTS GAVIN NEWSOM'S SILENCE, JAY-Z'S ALLEGED SABOTAGE IN SCORCHED-EARTH BREAK FROM DEMOCRATS As the crowd cheered her on, the president observed, "They're going crazy over her." After Minaj wrapped up her remarks, Trump praised her again, saying, "You see why everybody likes Nicki." "She is a very, very special person. She gets it." Minaj's appearance on the campaign trail comes after the "Super Bass" and "Starships" singer recently said in a Fox News interview with Lara Trump that young Americans should participate in the midterms and urged them to "vote red now." White House communications director Steven Cheung also weighed in on Minaj's growing political involvement, the next White House press secretary in a post on X. "Ladies and gentlemen, I think we may have found the new White House press secretary! @NICKIMINAJ," he posted on X.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adecdeef04c506ce1bfff5f Seattle Seahawks dominate Chiefs 20-3 as Sam Darnold silences critics in potential Super Bowl preview te 2026-10-26T03:50:06.309Z Seattle Seahawks dominate Chiefs 20-3 as Sam Darnold silences critics in potential Super Bowl preview After a bizarre 2025 season, the Kansas City Chiefs are right back at the top of the NFL in 2026 and already well on their way toward yet another Chiefs-Bills AFC Championship game. But last year's Super Bowl Champions, the Seattle Seahawks, have been far less convincing. After opening the season with two wins over the New England Patriots and Arizona Cardinals, Seattle entered the weekend just 1-3 since. The surprising loss to the Commanders was followed by a win over the hapless LA Chargers, then two frustrating losses to the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos in overtime. Last weekend's loss was ugly enough that speculation started immediately afterward that Sam Darnold might be in danger of losing his starting job to Drew Lock. From Super Bowl winner to backing up Drew Lock in six games? It sounds crazy, but that's what going 27/51 with no touchdowns and two interceptions, in a losing effort to a quarterback with 107 passing yards, does in the NFL. DENVER BRONCOS SURVIVE UGLY OFFENSIVE NIGHT TO BEAT SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 17-14 IN OVERTIME Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald was adamant, however, that he'd stick with Darnold. "Sam's played great football for us this year the majority of the time," he said in an October 16 radio interview. "There's other times he needs to take care of the football, but I think these are solutions we can find with Sam as our QB. I believe that." "I think we have a lot of faith in Sam," he added in a news conference that same day. "Sam’s played great football for us. He’s done a lot of great things this year. We’ve obviously turned the ball over more than we want to. I feel like there’s things on our end that can help him play better football. And I think he’s definitely part of the solution, rather than the opposite." He, and Seahawks fans, are probably glad Macdonald stuck with him. Despite some further, back-breaking struggles with ball security. After a punt-filled first quarter, the second provided a lot more action. While Patrick Mahomes uncharacteristically struggled, with an interception killing a Chiefs' drive, Darnold was on fire for Seattle. On the Seahawks' first scoring drive, he threw for 71 yards, including a 33-yard completion to Jaxson Smith-Njigba. The very next drive, after Mahomes' interception, Darnold found Smith-Njigba again, connecting on a 28-yard touchdown pass thanks to some impressive strength from the 24-year-old wideout to stay in bounds. In the waning seconds of the second quarter, though, Darnold's ball security issues crept up again. After yet another big 28-yard completion to Smith-Njigba to put the ball at the Kansas City 2-yard-line with 30 seconds left in the half, the Seahawks tried a George Holani run that went backwards. Darnold, under pressure, tried to find Rasheed Shaheed in the endzone, only to get picked off by Noah Williams. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Williams added a lengthy runback, seemingly setting up the Chiefs for an unlikely, last-second score. But Harrison Butker, not off to his best start thus far, missed the 58-yard field goal to end the half. In the third, Darnold was back at it again, completing passes of 17, 12, and 19 yards to help Seattle add three points and make it 13-0. And the typically dominant Chiefs offense just didn't ever get on track. Mahomes was frequently hurried, and with Rashee Rice once again out, there was little separation from the Kansas City receiving corps. Kenneth Walker couldn't get much going on the ground either. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Mahomes was far from his best either, nearly losing a fumble in the third quarter, and mostly dinking and dunking his way down the field. Even when the Chiefs finally put together a solid drive in the fourth, Butker missed his second kick of the game, just a 45-yard try, that would have narrowed the score to 13-6. Seattle took advantage, putting the game away with a 21-yard touchdown run from Emanuel Wilson on third-and-4. While Lumen Field is a tough place to play, the level to which Seattle dominated Sunday night's game was still surprising. Prior to garbage time, they had a 388 to 210 yardage advantage with 22 first downs to Kansas City's 11. The Seahawks went 11/15 on third downs too, compared to just 3/11 for Kansas City. Kenneth Walker, coming off a game in which he had 19 carries for 128 yards and two touchdowns, went just 14 for 36 against Seattle. And the three points for KC entering the fourth quarter was tied for the fewest of any game in Mahomes' storied career. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER It was the type of suffocating defensive performance that's become a hallmark of the Seahawks' run the past few seasons. And perhaps even more encouraging, a much better outing from Darnold, awful second quarter interception aside. The Seahawks stay home to host the Chicago Bears on Monday night, while the Chiefs travel to Denver to take on the Broncos at Empower Field.

Williams’ reaction said it all, as his foot was not in the correct position. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE As Williams put his head in his hands out of pure disbelief, his Thunder teammates couldn’t believe what they saw as well. Trainers quickly made a circle around him and assessed the situation following the brutal injury, which below is quite graphic to look at as a fair warning. Williams was placed on a stretcher and wheeled off the court, where the Thunder faithful were chanting his name. He delivered a thumbs-up to the crowd to acknowledge their support, but everyone including Williams knows this injury isn’t going to be something he comes back from anytime soon. The injury details still need to be disclosed by Oklahoma City, and yes, not all gruesome injuries lead to a season-ending one, but considering what the video showed, there’s a high likelihood that Williams’ 2026-27 NBA season is done before it really got going. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Williams entered his fifth NBA season, where he wanted to continue his role as one of the main stars on this loaded Thunder squad. The former All-Star averaged 17.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 5.5 assists across 33 games last season. Unfortunately, Williams dealt with nagging injuries last season as the Thunder were trying to repeat as NBA champions. He dealt with a right wrist injury on his shooting hand, followed by right and left hamstring strains that caused him to be out for much of Oklahoma City’s postseason run to the Western Conference Finals. While the Thunder won this battle with the Clippers to remain undefeated in the early season, they will need to find answers for the loss of Williams. What also doesn’t help is guard Cason Wallace suffered a left shoulder injury in the first quarter of this contest before Williams went down. So, that’s two starters dealing with injury woes. Alex Caruso, the versatile veteran who comes off the bench for the Thunder, and Jared McCain are likely the next men up for Oklahoma City.

Kathy Hochul as a "puppet" of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani during a campaign rally Sunday. Speaking at the event in Yorktown Heights, New York, Blakeman, the current Nassau County executive, accused his opponent of embracing the democratic socialist mayor's agenda while failing to crack down on illegal immigration and crime. "Kathy Hochul, she was out campaigning with Mamdani this week," Blakeman said, according to the New York Post. "And I say that’s great." "Please take him everywhere you go, Kathy, because I want to remind people that this un-American, antisemite, anti-Christian mayor is running the Democratic Party and Kathy Hochul is nothing more than his puppet," he continued. HOCHUL DEFLECTS WHEN PRESSED ON TIES TO 'ANTI-CHRISTIAN' MAMDANI IN FIERY DEBATE MOMENT: 'SHAME ON YOU' Hochul has been campaigning alongside Mamdani, including at a recent rally in Brooklyn. The political alliance between the mayor and the governor, who is seeking reelection to a second full term, comes as democratic socialists have gained greater influence in New York politics. Along with Mamdani's victory in last year's mayoral election, candidates aligned with Mamdani and New York's democratic socialist movement scored major victories in congressional primaries this year, including the defeats of two Democratic incumbents. Blakeman has previously targeted Hochul and Mamdani over public safety, accusing both Democrats of failing to address crime in New York City. FAR-LEFT SURGE: MAMDANI-BACKED CANDIDATES OUST DEM ESTABLISHMENT INCUMBENTS During a campaign appearance on the city's subway system earlier this month, Blakeman described Hochul as the "most pro-criminal governor" and accused both leaders of failing to keep commuters safe. Mamdani has also publicly criticized Blakeman, accusing the Republican gubernatorial candidate of engaging in "bigotry and racism" following a debate between Blakeman and Hochul earlier this month. "I think the governor did a good job," Mamdani told reporters when asked about Hochul's response to Blakeman's criticism. "And I'll never fault someone for not being able to catch all of it because that is a fool's errand when it comes to Bruce Blakeman." Hochul and Mamdani have emphasized affordability and child care while campaigning together, arguing their policies are aimed at lowering costs for working families. Fox News Digital has reached out to Hochul's and Mamdani's offices for comment. Fox News Digital's Eric Mack and Anders Hagstrom contributed to this story.

In Sunday’s win over the Houston Texans, though, Skattebo was flagged for unnecessary roughness after officials deemed he crossed a line when he laid the boom on safety M.J. Stewart, sending him to the turf after a big gain on the ground. Skattebo was livid at the call, as was head coach John Harbaugh , who had to hold his running back behind him on the sideline before displaying his own displeasure at the flag being thrown. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE After the game, where Skattebo’s 42-yard run in overtime helped set up Devin Singletary’s 30-yard touchdown to seal victory for New York, the second-year running back didn’t mince words as he took a shot at the league as a whole. "Yeah, I’ll keep that conversation between us," Skattebo said when asked what was said to the official following the unnecessary roughness call. "I will say, man, the NFL loves to post me when I do stuff like that, but then also wants to take stuff from me. So, I mean, I’m going to run the ball like I want to run the ball, and if I’m going to continue to get flagged or it or fined for it, man, I guess I’m going to play for free. "I’m going to do what I can to be on this team, to give everything I got. If they’re going to punish me for that, I’m just going to keep doing it and keep playing hard." To Skattebo’s point, the NFL has enjoyed his bulldozing style of running that turns back the clock to old-school running through the tackles. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! At the same time, the league has been trying to crack down on helmet-to-helmet contact for years, and referees believed Skattebo led with the crown of his helmet in this case. However, looking back at the video, Skattebo’s run here appeared no different than others he’s had in the past. It’s why many NFL fans were in an uproar along with Skattebo, calling the call "soft," "bizarre" and more on social media. It is very rare for officials to throw flags on an offensive player in those situations, which made it seem bizarre in the moment. The video replay almost confirmed as such, but nonetheless, as Skattebo pointed out, a fine might be coming his way from the league due to the unnecessary roughness call. Controversial penalty call aside, Skattebo’s play in Week 7 was redemption after he did not get a single carry the game prior, as Giants fans believed Harbaugh had him in the doghouse following a costly overtime fumble against the Washington Commanders. The Giants ended up with a tie in that contest, but if Skattebo hadn’t fumbled, New York could be 5-2 today, given it came in field goal range, where the next score won the game. "It wasn’t by design for him not to carry the ball," Harbaugh said after the tie to Washington. "Just when he was in there, we didn’t call any runs. You’re not thinking about which back is in the game and how many runs they’re getting. It’s we were going to give them all an equal shot, give them a chance, see who got a hot hand maybe, see who could get going with it. We weren’t planning on being down by 24, that’s for sure." This week, Skattebo had a chance to change the narrative surrounding his early-season fumble woes, and he put up 124 rushing yards on 17 carries and scored a touchdown in the second half. The Giants had four rushing scores, but Skattebo may have perhaps separated himself a bit as the lead back once again. The Giants have a bye next week, but when they return to face the Philadelphia Eagles on the road, Skattebo doesn’t seem like he’ll be changing anything about his play style.

William & Mary confirmed students were among those injured at the off-campus residence in Williamsburg. All reported injuries were non-life-threatening, according to city officials. Dispatchers received a report of a structure collapse around 10:07 p.m. on the 200 block of Matoaka Court. Responding police and firefighters found the home’s back deck had collapsed, the city said. TERRIFYING SCENE UNFOLDS AS METAL CABANA FRAME CRASHES INTO PACKED CASINO POOL AREA Emergency crews took 13 people to hospitals, while another 15 reportedly sought treatment on their own, according to the city’s Saturday morning update. Neighbors told WAVY that a homecoming party was underway when the deck gave way. One described emergency vehicles stretching through the neighborhood. "All the way down the street and wrapped around just ambulances and fire trucks," the neighbor, who asked not to be named, told WAVY. "We saw a lot of hospital gurneys coming out of ambulances. At least nine ambulances kind of wrapped around the street." WATCH: VIRGINIA COPS CRAWL THROUGH BURNING HOUSE TO SAVE MAN TRAPPED IN FIRE Joshua Wise, who lives next to the home, told the outlet some of his classmates were involved. He returned after emergency crews had finished responding but learned his housemate had been helping people get home. "Word was traveling pretty fast," Wise told WAVY. "By the time I got back here, the emergency response was over, but I had a housemate who was helping people, trying to help out as much as possible, drive people home, get people where they needed to be." Wise credited neighbors with coming together after the frightening incident. "We did everything we could to help each other out and I think that that’s beautiful," he said. 5 VICTIMS RELEASED FROM HOSPITAL AFTER FLORIDA A&M UNIVERSITY SHOOTING, 1 REMAINS CRITICAL In a Saturday message to the campus community, William & Mary’s senior vice president for student affairs and public safety, Ginger Ambler, said the university was still gathering information. Additional students may have sought care beyond those initially counted, she noted. "We are grateful that none of the injuries were life-threatening," Ambler wrote. She said staff across the university’s health, academic and student support offices were working to assist affected students. "We recognize that such an experience may affect our students deeply and in different ways," Ambler wrote. Wise also praised the emergency response. "Thank goodness for the emergency responders," he told WAVY. "They were great. The ambulances and everything got here pretty fast." Local police and firefighters responded, and city officials were working with area hospitals to confirm the total number of people treated. The city’s Codes Compliance Division is evaluating and inspecting the site.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adeaf76f04c506ce1bff9cf Ninth Circuit questions Trump DOJ's emergency request to set aside 20,000 California mail ballots te 2026-10-26T01:40:06.651Z Ninth Circuit questions Trump DOJ's emergency request to set aside 20,000 California mail ballots A federal appeals court on Sunday scrutinized the Trump administration's emergency effort to force California to set aside thousands of mail-in ballots tied to people the Justice Department suspects are noncitizens ahead of the midterm elections. The three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit raised questions about both the government's legal arguments and whether the court has jurisdiction to intervene during a hearing in which attorneys representing the Trump administration and California argued for nearly two hours, Fox News' Matt Finn reported. The federal government asked the panel to rule immediately, arguing that hundreds of thousands of California ballots could be tabulated each day while the dispute remains unresolved. The hearing comes after the Trump administration filed an emergency request involving roughly 20,000 mail-in ballots sent to people it suspects are noncitizens. CALIFORNIA MUST RESPOND TO DOJ'S EMERGENCY REQUEST OVER BALLOTS MAILED TO ALLEGED NONCITIZENS, COURT RULES The DOJ wants 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. Circuit Judge Mark Bennett, a Trump appointee, questioned whether the administration's requested injunction could be reconciled with the Constitution's Elections Clause, which gives state legislatures authority over the times, places and manner of congressional elections, subject to congressional regulation. "It seems to me that you want us to issue an injunction that is entirely inconsistent with the law that the California legislature has adopted pursuant to the Elections Clause," he told Justice Department attorney Matthew Donnelly. BLANCHE WON'T RULE OUT DOJ BLOCKING ELECTION CERTIFICATION IN 'DOOMSDAY' SCENARIO "How can we do that?" The panel also questioned whether the Ninth Circuit has jurisdiction to intervene at this stage. Judge Gabriel Sanchez, a Biden appointee, questioned why the Ninth Circuit should weigh in when the district court has yet to rule on the DOJ's request and a hearing before U.S. District Judge David Carter remains scheduled for Tuesday. Judge Patrick Bumatay, another Trump appointee, focused more heavily on the government's concerns about potential noncitizen voting and questioned California's handling of challenges involving suspected ineligible voters. The Justice Department sought emergency relief from the appeals court after Carter did not rule by a deadline previously requested by the department. California, meanwhile, has argued that the Ninth Circuit should not intervene before the lower court has ruled. The Justice Department initially filed the suit Oct. 15, roughly two weeks after California began mailing ballots. TRUMP SCORES SUPREME COURT WIN IN ELECTION INTEGRITY FIGHT AS STATES GAIN NEW VOTER ROLL TOOL Before oral arguments, the Trump administration accused California of having a history of "mishandling voter rolls." California has disputed the federal government's underlying data while emphasizing that it has robust safeguards against noncitizen voting. Los Angeles County officials have said a preliminary review of a portion of the federal government's list identified apparent discrepancies, including people who were born in the United States or were not registered to vote. In a filing this weekend, California argued that the federal government's theory would "turn the Constitution on its head." "When it comes to rules of elections administration, the federal government has no power to interfere with the States unless Congress passes a law governing the time, place, or manner of elections," the state contended. More than 3 million people have already cast ballots statewide, including more than 500,000 in Los Angeles County, according to figures cited during the litigation. The Justice Department has emphasized the urgency of its request, arguing that each day without a ruling risks allowing additional ballots to be processed before the citizenship dispute can be resolved. Bennett said the three-judge panel would try to issue a ruling as quickly as possible. Reuters contributed to this report. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adead1ff04c506ce1bff974 JD Vance sees Bengals making 'a run' but that's understandable because he's a fan, especially of Ja'Marr Chase te 2026-10-26T01:30:07.739Z JD Vance sees Bengals making 'a run' but that's understandable because he's a fan, especially of Ja'Marr Chase We know by now that Vice President JD Vance is a big fan of the Cincinnati Bengals so, of course, he had something to celebrate on Sunday when his team beat the Baltimore Ravens. Vance did not attend Sunday in Baltimore, but the Bengals punished the Ravens by scoring all their 35 points in the second half, mostly thanks to four touchdown passes by quarterback Joe Burrow. JD VANCE VISITS CINCINNATI BENGALS PRACTICE AND QUARTERBACK JOE BURROW IS CONVINCED IT WAS MOSTLY ABOUT HIM It was the type of performance from the Bengals that everyone expected from a potential Super Bowl contender and particularly the offense. And that had Vance feeling pretty good about his club. "Huge win for Cincinnati," Vance posted on X. Can you imagine? The second-most powerful man in the country posted on X about his NFL team. Let that sink in a second. Anyway, the Veep continued ... "It's early, but I think the Bengals are going to make a run. Who Dey!" The Bengals have won two consecutive games, but they do indeed need that run Vance is predicting. They've been a roller coaster of a team, winning two in a row after losing two in a row after winning two in a row. If they continue that pattern, you know what comes next — some frustrating football. But Vance, the fan, apparently doesn't buy that. Speaking of being a fan, Vance loves Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase. JA'MARR CHASE THROWS HELMET AS FIGHT BREAKS OUT ON FIRST DAY OF BENGALS TRAINING CAMP During Vance's visit to the Bengals training facility last week, Chase apparently noticed that Vance's six-year-old son, Vivek, was holding Bengals football gloves. "Nice gloves, man," Chase told Vivek as he filed into the locker room. That got the VP's attention. "Special shout out to Ja'Marr Chase, an amazing talent, who made my little six-year-old's year by noticing his football gloves," Vance posted. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! There were, by the way, "reports" that the Bengals were generally unmoved or even unfriendly during Vance's visit to their training facility. But, as Vance's boss would say, fake news. Vance shook hands and talked with coach Zac Taylor and other players and assistant coaches. Anyway, back to the "run" that Vance is predicting. The Bengals play four teams in their next five games with losing records. Two of those teams, the Washington Commanders and Tennessee Titans, have won only once each. The Bengals do play division co-leader Pittsburgh during that looming five-game stretch, so that matchup will help determine what kind of run they can put together.

The NFL was questioned throughout the week after seeing violence, looting, vandalization and more occurring in Paris over widespread anger regarding public living costs, deteriorating public services and more. Even President Donald Trump admitted he was "worried about it," talking about the Steelers-Saints matchup. But the league, despite beloved soccer team Paris Saint-Germaine postponing its Saturday match to Monday due to the unrest, didn’t blink. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Neither did its fans. OutKick caught up with several fans who braved the potential of being caught in the middle of the protests in Paris, and though there were some inconveniences, it didn’t go any further than that for these football goers. "If I’m being honest, I have not seen enough. I’ve seen some graffiti everywhere, but I haven’t seen anything myself," one fan said outside Stade de France. NFL OVERCOMES CIVIL UNREST, TRUMP CONCERNS AND CALLS TO POSTPONE AS STEELERS AND SAINTS KICK OFF IN PARIS Another added: "For the most part, it hasn’t been a problem. There’s been a few delays and disturbances, but it hasn’t been that big of a problem." One fan that caught up with OutKick came all the way from Mexico, where protests due to violent crime, working conditions, and housing costs are nothing new for him. "[It] don’t matter. Mexico is almost the same," he said when asked about France’s widespread protests. "We have a bad government. I don’t care. I don’t care [about] the problems in France. It’s OK for me. I came for the game." Fair enough. There were, of course, heightened security measures, as the NFL worked closely with Parisian police, French national authorities and the U.S. State Department to ensure the safety of all attending the game and the surrounding area. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, Saints owner Gayle Benson and Steelers owner Art Rooney II all met with President Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace to go over safety plans as well before the game. As for fans experiencing one of the most iconic cities around the globe, it wasn’t ideal to say the least. "There are some stores I want to go to that are boarded up a little bit, or have cracks in their glass," one fan explained. "But other than that, the city seems great. It’s not as bad as I was expecting. "There’s a lot of really beautiful things that they’re hurting for no reason. I understand they want to speak their voice, but they’re doing things that shouldn’t be done – vandalizing monuments and stuff. It’s not worth it." Another fan believed that protesters have been going too far when it involves the destruction of property and more violent acts. "Have they gone too far, the protestors? When they start tearing stuff up, yes sir. When they start burning vehicles and stuff, yeah, that’s too far." Goodell said the game would go off without a hitch, Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed as much to OutKick, and that was the case in the end. There are five international games still left on the 2026 NFL schedule, with the Cincinnati Bengals and Atlanta Falcons playing in Madrid, Spain in Week 9. The New England Patriots and Detroit Lions will play in Munich, Germany in Week 10, while the Minnesota Vikings and San Francisco 49ers travel to Mexico City, Mexico the following week.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adea3c2f04c506ce1bff78f Israel drills for surprise attack with massive military exercise as expert invokes 1973 war te 2026-10-26T00:50:10.312Z Israel drills for surprise attack with massive military exercise as expert invokes 1973 war The Israeli military launched large-scale domestic military exercises on Sunday to counter surprise border infiltrations and ground raids across northern and central Israel, mobilizing multiple divisions and air assets amid rising regional tensions. The drills, set to continue over 48 hours, came as an Israeli security expert invoked the 1973 Yom Kippur War, when Egypt and Syria used exercises to disguise preparations for a surprise attack, warning that escalating tensions in the region could in fact trigger what he described as a "dangerous miscalculation." The large-scale maneuvers, the IDF said, involve the Northern Command’s 210th Division, the West Bank Division, and the Central Command’s 98th and 96th divisions, alongside the Israeli Air Force. IRAN TARGETS US WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE CAMPAIGN TO MANIPULATE AMERICANS, EMBARRASS TRUMP: EXPERTS The exercise, scheduled just ahead of Israel's elections Oct. 27, aims to "maintain the forces’ alertness and readiness, strengthen the ability to defend communities, and make full use of aerial capabilities for defense in the area," according to the IDF. On Friday, the IDF said troops would practice "a variety of scenarios, including a surprise attack and infiltration into Israeli territory by air and land," incorporating lessons learned from the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led attacks on Israel. "This exercise is mostly about non-state actors with or without Iranian support," Israeli national security analyst Dr. Ehud Eilam told Fox News Digital. "It's aimed at those in Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan who might try to infiltrate into Israel or send ground raids. Some are supported by Iran; others are not. It could be planned by Iran or be a local initiative." NETANYAHU PRAISES TRUMP'S 'WICKED SENSE OF HUMOR,' DEFENDS IRONCLAD ALLIANCE AHEAD OF HISTORIC ISRAEL VOTE "This is a massive exercise, the biggest one in recent years, aimed at protecting the borders," the former Israeli Ministry of Defense researcher added. "It's all about making sure that the election day on October 27 will run smoothly. It's also a message to Iran and others: don't try to provoke us during election day, so nothing will be disrupted." The Israeli drills followed a show of force by Tehran days earlier, during which the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) fired roughly 30 ballistic missiles across two distinct weapon classes, according to reports. That live-fire display highlighted Iranian strike capabilities and sparked renewed alerts about commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and prompted the Israeli military to heighten its alert level while maintaining maximum readiness for a targeted strike against Iran. TRUMP IS DISMANTLING IRAN’S WAR MACHINE, BUT AMERICA STILL NEEDS AN ENDGAME During a visit to the IDF's Central Command on Wednesday, Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir warned that the risk of escalation was growing. "Given the numerous warnings across all fronts and the sensitivity of the current period, the potential for escalation has increased," Zamir said. "To ensure better operational control on the ground, we have reinforced our troop deployments across all sectors, including moving the 98th Division into the area to strengthen security and stability." "Part of mutual deterrence: a few days ago, Iran had their own pretty big exercise, and that was actually more intimidating as far as Israel is concerned because they launched missiles and prepared for a war with Israel," Eilam said. "This exercise on Sunday and Monday is against Iran's proxies and allies at the border of Israel." Sunday’s Israeli drill also followed an Oct. 19 mission in which Israeli fighter jets and aerial refueling tankers flew 800 miles across Syrian and Iraqi airspace to Iran’s border. FROM INTELLIGENCE SHARING TO MISSILE DEFENSE, HOW ISRAEL'S PARTNERSHIP PROTECTS AMERICAN SECURITY Washington was notified in advance and viewed the maneuver as a non-kinetic show of force following the postponement of a broader strike package earlier in the month. Despite the deterrence signals, Eilam warned that large-scale military exercises carry the "risk of miscalculation" and particularly when troop movements could be mistaken for preparations for an attack. "During the Cold War, every time the Soviet Union or NATO carried out a major drill, having so many troops in the field meant they might attack if that was the intention," Eilam said. He pointed to the 1973 Yom Kippur War, when Egypt and Syria used military exercises to help conceal troop buildups along Israel's borders. Israeli intelligence largely dismissed the movements as routine drills, allowing the two countries to achieve strategic surprise when they launched a coordinated, two-front attack on Yom Kippur. TRUMP SAYS NETANYAHU NEEDS TO BE RE-ELECTED, OR ELSE US WILL HAVE TO 'FINISH THE JOB’ AGAINST IRAN ALONE "The classic example in Israel is 1973, when Egypt and Syria conducted a major exercise just before the war that turned into the actual attack," the analyst said. "Israel and Iran are now watching each other very closely and both sides suspect the other might strike first," Eilam added before stating that there is the chance of what they call "miscalculation — that each side suspects the other and strikes first by mistake." "It's all about sending messages to each other." "It remains uncertain whether there will eventually be an Israeli attack on Iran because it depends on U.S. authorization," Eilam concluded. "Right now, both sides are signaling: 'We are ready, don't mess with us, but we don't want to start a war right now.'"

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adea169f04c506ce1bff71f Conservative wave hits roadblock in Brazil as Lula holds off Bolsonaro challenge te 2026-10-26T00:40:09.109Z Conservative wave hits roadblock in Brazil as Lula holds off Bolsonaro challenge Incumbent leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva narrowly defeated conservative Sen. Flavio Bolsonaro in Sunday's presidential runoff, according to The Associated Press. The deeply polarized nation returned to the polls for a second round runoff on Sunday. Bolsonaro narrowly won the first round on Oct. 4, with 47% of the vote, to Lula's 45%, but fell short of the 50% majority required to win the election outright. BRAZIL BECOMES NEXT TEST FOR LATIN AMERICA’S SURGING CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT The victory marks an unprecedented fourth presidential term for Lula, and a remarkable comeback victory. The result is even more surprising given that Bolsonaro had led, albeit by tight margins, in recent polling, and Brazil had recently elected a conservative congress aligned with the Bolsonaro agenda. Earlier in the day, Lula voted in Sao Bernardo do Campo, Sao Paulo, while Bolsonaro voted in the north of Rio de Janeiro, the state he represents in the Senate. The first vote tallies came in from Brazilians living overseas, where Lula won a decisive victory in Germany, and Bolsonaro won an overwhelming victory in Japan. BRAZIL’S RAPID ELECTION COUNT PUTS SPOTLIGHT ON VOTING SECURITY AHEAD OF US MIDTERMS While Bolsonaro performed well in his southern electoral strongholds, winning by comfortable margins in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná, and Rio Grande do Sul, he won those states by smaller margins than in the first round. His turnout in the south was not enough to overcome Lula's famed Northeastern firewall; a reflection of the Workers Party dominance in the country's populous "Nordeste" region. Bolsonaro also turned in a disappointing performance in Minas Gerais, which geographically and politically straddles the Brazilian north/south divide. Often referred to as the nation's quintessential bellwether state, it is fair to say that as goes Minas Gerais, so goes the nation. While Bolsonaro won Minas Gerais by 5% in the first round, in the second round it was essentially tied. Bolsonaro had received endorsements from other first round candidates: best-selling author Augusto Cury, former Minas Gerais Governor Romeu Zema, and former Goiás Governor Ronaldo Caiado. LATIN AMERICA’S CONSERVATIVE SHIFT FACES ITS BIGGEST TEST YET IN BRAZIL ELECTION However, they were not enough to overcome the much-respected electoral machinery of the Workers Party. Lula has now appeared on the presidential ballot 7 times, winning 4 of those elections. Heading into the first round, Flavio Bolsonaro was effectively able to make the case to working-class and middle-class voters that the Lula's economic approach was driving up their cost of living. He painted the Lula administration as bloated, tax-heavy, and given to racking up debt and tied this to inflation and kitchen table economics. Additionally, his message of hardline law and order appealed to a Brazilian public where voters routinely suggest that violence is the most pressing issue. Nonetheless, these economic and security concerns were not enough to overcome a generation of loyalty to the Workers Party and its social programs, particularly in the North and Northeast of the country, where Lula won by wide margins. While Lula will be riding high heading into a historic fourth term in office, he will face a Congress with a center-right and right-wing majority that has been described as one of the most conservative in history. While Flavio Bolsonaro lost the 2026 election by a narrow margin, the Bolsonaro movement is certainly not going away, and arguably remains an influential force in modern Brazilian politics. The Lula victory also brings to an end a long string of victories for Trump-backed right-wing candidates across the region. While Trump had not officially endorsed Flavio Bolsonaro, he made no secret of his preference, and enjoyed a close relationship with the Bolsonaro family. Looking forward to 2030, all eyes will turn to Bolsonaro clan ally Tarcisio de Freitas, who stepped aside this election cycle, in order to clear the way for Flavio Bolsonaro's run. Will the Brazilian right back another Bolsonaro in four years time, or will the popular São Paulo governor also mount a bid? In addition to the presidential election, voters in five states, as well as the federal district of Brasília, were also selecting governors in runoff elections. Bolsonaro-aligned candidates appeared poised to win most of those races.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ade9f10f04c506ce1bff6b3 Todd Blanche challenges Dana Bash for only citing part of Constitution during heated election clash te 2026-10-26T00:30:08.590Z Todd Blanche challenges Dana Bash for only citing part of Constitution during heated election clash Attorney General Todd Blanche confronted CNN host Dana Bash on Sunday after the network highlighted only the first portion of the Constitution's Elections Clause during a heated exchange on "State of the Union" over the Justice Department's lawsuit concerning two candidates with similar names in Alaska's closely watched Senate race.  Blanche pushed back as Bash referenced the Alaska Supreme Court's earlier ruling allowing Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., who shares a name with incumbent Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan, to remain on the ballot. The attorney general demanded that CNN display the remainder of the constitutional provision, which grants Congress authority to make or alter regulations governing congressional elections. "Conveniently, you put up the Constitution on your screen, but you highlighted only the first clause. Why don't you show the next clause to your viewers, which says that Congress is allowed to pass laws to make sure that that happens? Put that back up there," Blanche said. BLANCHE WON'T RULE OUT DOJ BLOCKING ELECTION CERTIFICATION IN 'DOOMSDAY' SCENARIO The exchange centered on Article I, Section 4 of the Constitution, which gives state legislatures authority to establish procedures for congressional elections while permitting Congress to enact or modify those regulations. Blanche argued that the second half of the provision supports the federal government's intervention under existing federal statutes. "The second clause says that the Congress may at any time by law, and we have a law, and that's the law that we're relying on when we filed suit earlier this week," Blanche said. The Justice Department’s lawsuit relies on the National Voter Registration Act, arguing that allowing a candidate who, according to the DOJ, intends to confuse voters to remain on the ballot undermines election integrity. The complaint asks the court to delay election certification if votes cast for Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. could alter the final outcome. The DOJ's complaint accused the challenger of deliberately attempting to mislead voters by using a name similar to the incumbent's. DOJ OFFICIAL DEFENDS TRUMP'S NONCITIZEN VOTER PROBE ON '60 MINUTES,' ACCUSES SHOW OF EDITING OUT HER ANSWERS Media Research Center President David Bozell criticized Bash's presentation of the constitutional language in a statement to Fox News Digital, accusing CNN of failing to provide viewers with the complete provision. "An anchor who hands viewers half a provision on election integrity is running a magic act, and the trick fell apart on live television. Bash's job is to give the audience the full text up front. CNN owes its dozens of viewers the whole clause, and a better editor," Bozell said. The DOJ lawsuit follows a June ruling by the Alaska Supreme Court allowing the challenger to appear on the ballot despite objections from state election officials. The court left the question of how his name should appear to the state's Division of Elections. "Daniel J. Sullivan decided to run for Senator in 2026 as a Republican with the intention of misleading supporters of Senator Sullivan into voting for him," the complaint states. BLANCHE ANNOUNCES CHARGES AGAINST 10 PERMANENT RESIDENTS ACCUSED OF MINNESOTA VOTER FRAUD Republicans have accused the challenger, a retired teacher from Petersburg, of attempting to siphon votes from the incumbent. Daniel J. Sullivan has denied those accusations and maintained that his candidacy is legitimate. President Donald Trump also addressed the controversy Friday while speaking to reporters in Florida, acknowledging that he personally encouraged the Justice Department to pursue legal action. "I'm the one that said, do it," Trump said. The federal challenge faces opposition from voting rights groups and the campaign of Democratic candidate Mary Peltola, both of which filed motions to intervene in the case. The American Civil Liberties Union argued that the National Voter Registration Act establishes voter-registration procedures and does not authorize blocking election certification over candidate placement. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ade9cb8f04c506ce1bff639 Donna Mills, 85, draws the line at unexpected OnlyFans request: ‘I’m not going to’ te 2026-10-26T00:20:08.297Z Donna Mills, 85, draws the line at unexpected OnlyFans request: ‘I’m not going to’ "Knots Landing" star Donna Mills is revealing the one unexpected request she refuses to fulfill for her OnlyFans subscribers. During a Friday appearance on ABC's "Nightline," the 85-year-old actress told correspondent Kayna Whitworth that her content largely consists of glimpses into her daily life but asserted that there is one routine she won’t perform for the camera. "I do the Peloton," Mills said. "Just, you know, they’re the things of everyday life: having a cup of coffee, you know. They say they like it when you brush your teeth…I’m not going to brush my teeth." DONNA MILLS DOES 100 SIT-UPS A DAY, PLAYS TENNIS FIVE TIMES A WEEK AT 85 BUT WON'T QUIT DORITOS When asked if she believes that most of the OnlyFans users who are engaging with her are men, Mills said, "I think so. Yeah. Sometimes you don’t know." While Mills drew the line at brushing her teeth on camera, she appeared more open to sharing racier content with her subscribers. However, she explained that she does not believe full nudity is necessary to be sexy, pointing to one of her past Playboy shoots as an example. PLAYBOY'S CELEBRITY-DRIVEN RELAUNCH FACES CREDIBILITY TEST IN ONLYFANS ERA, EXPERT SAYS "I think it’s sexier to be not just totally naked, you know," she said. "And have a little imagination about it." "One of the pictures in ‘Playboy,’ which I think is one of the sexiest things, is me in the shower, in a dress," Mills added. CRYSTAL HEFNER FELT 'ABSOLUTELY BRAINWASHED' DURING HUGH HEFNER MARRIAGE, REVEALS STRICT PLAYBOY MANSION RULES The "Play Misty for Me" star said she believed that the never-before-seen "Playboy" outtakes could be particularly enticing for her OnlyFans subscribers. "I think the probably the most appealing would be the ones that weren't in the magazine, right?" she said. "Because they're from the shoot, the same shoot, but they weren't in the magazine." 'HARRY POTTER' ACTOR SAYS ONLYFANS VIDEOS EARNED HER MORE THAN HER ENTIRE ACTING CAREER After Whitworth asked how much she might charge subscribers for one of the previously unseen photos, Mills floated a potential price. "Boy, I'm not sure," she said. "Maybe I'm not sure — $100." "$100?" Whitworth replied. "More?" Mills asked. DREA DE MATTEO SAYS ONLYFANS BECAME ‘POLITICAL STATEMENT’ AFTER FINANCIAL STRUGGLES THREATENED HER HOME "We're thinking you could go up a little higher," Whiteworth told her. Mills surprised her fans when she announced that she had launched an OnlyFans account in July. WHY WWE LEGEND DAWN MARIE IS HEADING TO ONLYFANS AT 55 The actress, who became a television sensation playing the glamorous and ruthless Abby Cunningham on "Knots Landing" from 1980 to 1989, said the platform would give her a chance to connect with fans in a more personal way. Mills said fans were hungry for a behind-the-scenes look at her life, which she noted wasn't possible during her TV heyday. 'KNOTS LANDING' STAR DONNA MILLS ISSUES URGENT WARNING ABOUT AGING "They want to know me," she told Variety at the time. "They want to know what I do during the day when I’m home. They want to see my home. They want to know much more about my personal life than we ever experienced back in the ’80s and the ’90s that, you know, the fans were cut off from." "I've always appreciated the incredible support and encouragement I've received from my fans over the years," Mills said. "Social media has been a wonderful way to stay connected, but I'm excited to join OnlyFans because it offers the opportunity for a more personal and direct connection," However, Mills emphasized that she planned to approach OnlyFans on her own terms. "It’s simply another platform to spend quality time with the people who’ve supported me throughout my career while staying true to who I am," she said. Andy Bachman, CEO of Creators, Inc., the talent agency that manages Mills' OnlyFans account, noted that the Hollywood veteran isn't switching up her image. "This is not about changing who she is. It is about giving her longtime fans more access to the personality, style and behind-the-scenes moments they already love," Andy Bachman, CEO of the talent agency Creators Inc., said. "Donna has always been fearless and ahead of her time," Bachman added. "She told me, 'YOLO — let's do it,' and that perfectly captures her attitude. She is approaching OnlyFans on her own terms and creating a space that feels authentic, personal and completely true to her." During an appearance on "TMZ Live" shortly after launching her account, Mills said that she wasn't planning to pose nude but didn't entirely rule out the possibility. "Who knows? My first answer would be, oh, no, I won’t do that," she said. "But then my second answer is, I don’t know." "I don’t want to do anything that’s salacious, you know what I mean?" Mills added. "That isn’t my personality. That isn’t what I feel good doing. But if it’s cute and sexy … we’ll see." In August, Mills appeared on "Creators Inc. Podcast," less than a month after launching her account. At the time, Bachman, who hosts the podcast, shared an update on her page's performance. "I can say that you are doing incredibly well," he said. "Many six figures, and it’s been early." Bachman noted that Mills had already received some unusual requests, including "foot kink people" who asked to see the actress "stomping on grapes" with her bare feet in her vineyard. "I’m gonna do it," Mills said. "I tried to shoot it myself. But you can’t shoot something while you’re stomping, it just doesn’t work." "I'm going to uh… I'm going to do that very soon… and do it right so that you know people can… really enjoy it," she continued. "I think it's really funny and fun and uh it's the kind of thing that I want to be able to share with the fans." In an interview with Fox News Digital last month, Mills teased what fans can expect from her future content.

"I think they’ll react to that, they’ll like that, and also it’s my chance to communicate with them through the videos and things like that and talk to them." Mills also explained that part of her motivation for launching her OnlyFans was to prove that getting older doesn't mean life gets smaller. "When I kind of looked at it a few years ago and said, 'What do I want to do with this portion of my life, this chapter in my life?' I said, 'I’d like to be an inspiration,'" she emphasized.

"She would say, ‘Go, girl!’ Without a doubt," Mills said. "Are you kidding? Abby would be all for it. She was for anything that was going to move her forward, that was going to be to her advantage. So, she would be dead on for this. She would love this."

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ade935bf04c506ce1bff4a8 DAVID MARCUS: The future of the GOP in New England rides on Maine’s Senate vote te 2026-10-25T23:40:11.057Z DAVID MARCUS: The future of the GOP in New England rides on Maine’s Senate vote The New England region of the United States comprises six states, more than 15 million people, 21 seats in the House of Representatives, and 12 senators. Yet, of this congressional delegation, only one is a Republican — Sen. Susan Collins of Maine — at least for now. In the Pine Tree State, Democrat Troy Jackson has a slight lead in the polls. Over her 30 years in the Senate, Collins has pulled a lot of electoral footballs from Democrat Charlie Browns, who thought victory and a Senate seat were a chip shot away. In Maine, I chatted with Republican State House Representative Laurel Libby — a rising star in the local GOP and possible heir to the kind of centrist Republicanism that Collins has managed to cling to in this mostly blue region. Libby told Fox News Digital that "[Collins] is great on constituent services and goes out of her way to be in the community," adding, "it's kind of hysterical for Troy Jackson to say she doesn’t hold town halls. Susan Collins is out in the community constantly." DAVID MARCUS: IN BLUE MAINE, NOBODY BELIEVES SUSAN COLLINS WILL LOSE UNTIL THEY SEE IT I pressed Libby a bit on what role, especially if Collins holds on to win, the Maine and broader New England Republican Party can play in the post Trump era — which lies just over two years over the horizon. She replied, "I think we need to be providing the long-term solutions for Maine. "We’ve seen what a Democrat trifecta [in state government] has done for Maine. During Jackson’s time in the Senate, he is responsible for our electricity costs going up 70%," she said. "He supported a budget that went up 50%." VOTERS PREPARE TO WEIGH-IN ON TRUMP'S ECONOMY AS COSTS CONTINUE TO SURGE These were concerns that I also heard from Don, a Vietnam veteran in his late 70s who recently moved into Bangor from a nearby farm after his wife passed away. "All those Democrats south of [the state capital] Augusta, they just think everyone is made of money, and it's really hurting normal folks," Don said. Among Republican voters in Bangor, and even some Independents, the word "Augusta," is generally uttered with approximately the level of disdain Jerry Seinfeld had when saying "Newman!" Dan and Tess, a couple in their 30s, were in town from Massachusetts, of which Maine was once a part. They both see Collins as a strong centrist voice for the region. "It's a problem when every politician in New England is a Democrat," Dan said. "Especially when the Democrats are out of power." Chris, also from Massachusetts, was in Maine upgrading carrier lines. When asked what Republicans could do to get a foothold in the region, he said, "I don't really know, when the state's been Democratic [for so long]. ... Coming together to the people with things that don't pull sides apart, because they have two sides, but they're supposed to meet in the middle." This is a point that Libby refined in our conversation when asked about the fact that Collins was campaigning this week with former moderate Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, while Jackson barnstormed with far-left New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. KYRSTEN SINEMA QUESTIONS WHETHER MODERATES STILL HAVE A PLACE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY "It’s absolutely representative of what they both [would] bring to the Senate," Libby told Fox News Digital. "Susan Collins has proven that she is willing and able to work in a bipartisan manner, to get things done, and during his time in the [state] Senate, did the opposite," including Libby claims a few end runs around the Maine Constitution. Manchin is now out of power, mostly owing to his refusal to bow to the far left zeitgeist of the current Democratic Party. This is thus far a fate Susan Collins has avoided over the past decade when she distances herself from Trump and MAGA populism. If Troy Jackson does manage to topple Collins, the message to Republicans in Maine and New England will be that centrism doesn’t work, that they need bare knuckle brawlers more like Rep. Brandon Gill of Texas, than bipartisan peacemakers like Collins. Nationally, there are some hardcore Republicans who would welcome a Collins loss in this respect. They see moderate Republicans as more of an obstacle than an asset. But most in the GOP concede that holding the Senate for Trump’s final two years in office outweighs the broader ideological intraparty fights. Win, lose, or draw for Collins, in the future it will be younger Republican politicians like Libby, who will have to define what a Republican is in Maine, New England, and to some degree in America as a whole. Democrats exiled Joe Manchin for his lack of political purity; they are on the way to doing the same to Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., even though, somewhat hilariously, he really could wind up as the 51st vote in a one-seat Democratic majority next year. If Maine Republicans can save Susan Collins once again, it will show that the GOP really can, at least in part, and unlike Democrats, embrace moderate and centrist positions — a point that could play heavily in their favor as both parties try to define themselves for the post-Trump age. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ade9359f04c506ce1bff49f NFL's French national anthem performer Nina Tonji alters words to La Marseillaise, sparking outrage in France te 2026-10-25T23:40:09.988Z NFL's French national anthem performer Nina Tonji alters words to La Marseillaise, sparking outrage in France Words often matter as much as actions and amid the civil unrest that France has felt in recent days, some French people are apparently angry and offended over the altering of their national anthem before the NFL game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints. And, yes, this has to do with immigrants in France. Before the game, singer Nina Tonji performed La Marseillaise at the Stade de France. Although she received a warm round of applause afterward, there has been significant online backlash because she modified the lyrics of the song. NFL OVERCOMES CIVIL UNREST, TRUMP CONCERNS AND CALLS TO POSTPONE AS STEELERS AND SAINTS KICK OFF IN PARIS Tonji changed "Qu'un sang impur abreuve nos sillons!" to "Qu'un sang uni abreuve nos sillons!," and that was clearly done on purpose because it has political and societal ramifications. "Qu’un sang impur abreuve nos sillons" means "May impure blood water our furrows/fields." In the revolutionary context of La Marseillaise, "impure blood" referred to enemies and traitors – particularly French immigrants fighting alongside foreign armies. Replacing impur ("impure") with uni ("united") changes the meaning of the passage from from a call for enemy blood to nourish France’s soil into an appeal for national unity and solidarity that includes immigrants to nourish France's soil. Tonji thus changed the song's tone from violent exclusion of a foreign enemy to a message of unity with foreigners. She gave immigrants cover that La Marseillaise did not in 1792 when it was written during the French Revolution. And, yes, this rendition represented a lyrical alteration by the Tonji that departed from the traditional wording of the French national anthem. But it comes at a time when people in France are on edge about immigration and foreigners. That’s because at least some of the protesters who took to the streets during the past two weeks of civil unrest were immigrants. Some rallied for anti-Israel causes, while others called for the overthrow of the current political system. So, predictably, there has been an online backlash. This is where we also inform you that Tonji was born in Montreal, Canada. Much of the attention she is now getting has come from media accounts with massive followings. Cerfia posted the song to its 1.3 million followers and highlighted the changes made. RMC Sport posted it to its 2.7 million followers, saying the change caused "confusion." Francetvsport also posted the song to its 297,500 followers. The replies to the viral posts did include some people willing to overlook the change. But a vast majority insulted everything from Tonji's voice, to looks, to the action itself, calling it a "scandal," and "disrespectful" and a "controversy." Seems some French people have pride in their national anthem. So here is a common sense approach the NFL should adapt to avoid these public relations black eyes – because the league gets a lot of coverage over national anthem performances that go awry. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! The league, which supposedly has a right of refusal over these pregame and even halftime acts, can easily force the artists to sign binding contracts that demand they perform the songs as written. Sure, interpret all you want, the league can tell the artists. That's what makes you an artist. But don't alter lyrics to suit a personal agenda or feeling. Because that makes you an activist.

Andy Beshear's argument that a Democratic governor should lead the party's 2028 presidential ticket Friday on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher," pointing to California Gov. Gavin Newsom's unfinished high-speed rail project as Beshear touted Democratic governors' accomplishments. Beshear, discussing potential Democratic presidential contenders, argued that governors could point to tangible accomplishments that would distinguish them from President Donald Trump. "What Democratic governors have are receipts," he said. "You can look at, have you built the housing?" "Have you built the high-speed rail?" Hilton asked.  BILL MAHER CLASHES WITH NEWSOM OVER CALIFORNIA LEADERS, SAYS OTHER SIDE WILL ASK, ‘HAVE YOU SEEN THE STATS?' The exchange came after Maher raised Newsom as a potential 2028 contender, although the California governor has not formally announced a presidential campaign. Maher acknowledged Hilton's point, suggesting the Republican candidate could use the project's troubled history against Newsom. "You're going to have a field day with that. No, you're right," Maher said. Matt Ciepielowski, Hilton's campaign manager, criticized California's continued investment in the project in a statement to Fox News Digital. "If Andy Beshear thinks California’s high-speed rail is something to brag about, he should try buying a ticket. Billions spent, years behind schedule, and Californians still can’t ride it. Gavin Newsom’s answer is to keep pouring money into it." Ciepielowski also said Hilton would end state funding for the project if elected governor. "Steve Hilton will end state funding on day one," he said. "Californians are struggling to pay their own bills. They shouldn’t have to keep paying for Sacramento’s failures, too." TRUMP BACKS HILTON AHEAD OF CALIFORNIA GOP VOTE, TESTING BIANCO’S GRIP ON PARTY ENDORSEMENT California state Sen. Tony Strickland, R-Huntington Beach, vice chair of the Senate Transportation Committee, also criticized Newsom's handling of the project, pointing to findings about taxpayer-funded travel expenses submitted by project consultants. "The high-speed fail should have been defunded when Newsom took office in 2019," he said. "Instead, he doubled down on a project that will never be built as originally proposed to Californians. The latest scandal involving project consultants' misuse of public funds to pay for luxury travel under Newsom’s watch is yet another slap in the face to California families struggling to pay for essentials like gas, food, and rent." "These are taxpayer dollars, yet project consultants treat them like their personal ATM. This project will go down as one of the most wasteful government projects in California history," he continued. LIZ PEEK: CALIFORNIA VOTERS FED UP WITH DEMOCRATS MAY TURN TO STEVE HILTON FOR CHANGE California's high-speed rail system has faced years of delays and escalating costs since voters approved nearly $10 billion in bonds in 2008. An April estimate placed the cost of the full project at approximately $126 billion, compared with an original estimate of $33 billion. No high-speed track had been laid as of that report. The California High-Speed Rail Authority said in its 2026 business plan that completing the initial Merced-to-Bakersfield segment would cost an estimated $35.7 billion, with passenger service targeted for 2033. According to the authority's financial records, approximately $15.7 billion had been spent through February. The project's financial oversight also came under renewed scrutiny following a September investigation by California's independent high-speed rail inspector general. Investigators identified approximately $81,000 in consultant travel expenses that appeared to violate state regulations and another $543,000 that appeared impermissible under contract terms, with some overlap between the findings. Questionable charges included premium transportation and trips to gyms, a nightclub and an escape room. The California High-Speed Rail Authority outlined corrective actions, including additional oversight, employee training and efforts to recover payments determined to be improper. Despite the criticism, the California High-Speed Rail Authority has maintained that construction is advancing. In an October update, officials reported completing 66 major structures and nearly 90 miles of guideway in the Central Valley, while emphasizing the project's expected transportation, economic and employment benefits. Fox News Digital reached out to Newsom and the California High-Speed Rail Authority for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.

Video released by the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office shows the car slamming into the house before deputies rush toward the wreck and chase a fleeing suspect. "Is everybody alright?" a deputy can be heard asking as authorities check the home for anyone who might be hurt. FOUR TEENS KILL COUPLE IN HEAD-ON CRASH AFTER STEALING G-WAGON, LEADING COPS ON HOURS-LONG CHASE: POLICE The sheriff’s office said deputies attempted to stop the reported stolen vehicle around 2:30 p.m. Oct. 15. The driver fled, but deputies said they did not pursue the car before it crashed into the home on Renwood Road in Simpsonville. Two teenagers, ages 15 and 16, were eventually arrested and charged with possession of a stolen vehicle, authorities said. No injuries were reported. WATCH: DEPUTIES HUNT WANTED MAN THROUGH CORNFIELD AFTER HIGH-SPEED CHASE CAUGHT ON CAMERA The video shows one deputy running after a fleeing suspect while another heads toward the damaged home. The passenger was quickly taken into custody, while the search for the driver brought help from above and on the ground. K9 teams used multiple dogs to track the driver’s path, and drone operators provided an aerial view of the neighborhood, according to the sheriff’s office. The video also shows a dog picking up a scent collected from the vehicle before tracking the driver. BLOODHOUND K-9 UNIT HELPS BRING GEORGIA MANHUNT TO END WITH ARREST OF SUSPECT ACCUSED OF SHOOTING WOMAN "When someone decides to run from law enforcement in Greenville County, they quickly learn that our deputies have more than one way to find them," the sheriff’s office wrote in a post accompanying the video. "You can run, but our deputies have a pretty impressive toolbox. And they know how to use it," the agency added. For neighbors, the crash brought a frightening interruption to an otherwise routine afternoon. "I was just putting my baby down for a nap, and I heard a big crash outside," next-door neighbor Rachel Bush told WYFF. Just minutes earlier, Bush said, she had been walking outside with her baby and dog. "We were grateful we were back inside before everything happened," she told the outlet. DRIVER RELEASED WITHOUT CHARGES AFTER PICKUP KILLS BOY, 6, AND MAN ON KANSAS SOCCER FIELD One of the home’s residents told WYFF that no one was home when the car crashed through the front door. He and his fiancé returned from an errand minutes later to find the damage. The resident said the car missed another vehicle in the garage by inches, leaving behind an extensive cleanup and repair job. Another neighbor, Robert Belcher, told WYFF he offered support after seeing what happened. "I don’t know what to say to you but thank God no one was at home," Belcher recalled telling his neighbor. The resident also offered a pointed message to the teenagers accused in the incident. "Think about what you are doing; you never know if it’s going to impact lives," he told WYFF.

One week later, Daniels not only was able to play for the Falcons – he made a clutch play that helped them beat the undefeated San Francisco 49ers. The Falcons were up nine late in the fourth quarter in a game where they weren’t expected to be on the winning side of things considering how well the 49ers have looked to start this season. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE But with less than one minute left to play, Brock Purdy and San Francisco found themselves in desperation mode when tight end George Kittle secured a wide-open pass and started to take it upfield. However, Falcons safety Jessie Bates III was able to trip up Kittle, and as the tight end tried regaining his footing, he lost the football. With the football, and essentially the win, sitting on the turf, Daniels came flying in and dove on the loose ball. That ball sealed the deal for the Falcons, who moved to 3-5 on the season while handing the 49ers their first loss. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Daniels also had a career-high 11 tackles in the win, nine of which were solo efforts. And he wasn’t done securing turnovers. Daniels’ best play was a perfectly timed jump on a Purdy pass in the middle of the field that he tipped and caught for an interception. Daniels was trying to take it back for a pick-six, but he was ran out of bounds before reaching the end zone. The 49ers had four turnovers that the Falcons forced on Sunday. Daniels, a fourth-round pick out of Oklahoma, was all smiles with the rest of his teammates after a hard-fought win. And luckily, the rookie was able to play considering the circumstances of last week. Play stopped for roughly 10 minutes in the Falcons’ game against the Chicago Bears after Daniels delivered a hit on tight end Colston Loveland, where his neck appeared to snap back after colliding with his knee. While he was moving, Daniels was in clear pain, and trainers came out immediately to assess the situation. He was placed on a stretcher as a precaution, and the Falcons said that he was conscious and moving his extremities. Days later, Daniels was spotted at practice where he was cleared to participate, setting him up to play against the 49ers. "I scared a lot of people. It was a scary play," he said, via the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I’m blessed to come out how I did…" Daniels will look to deliver more key plays for the Falcons next week in a key NFC South matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who got back on track after a blowout win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

Iuliia Mendel, who served as Zelenskyy's spokesperson from 2019 to 2021, told Fox News Digital that the former comedian had also made his first millions in Russia and should perhaps leverage those ties to pursue lasting peace. "When Zelenskyy was an entertainer, he often performed in Moscow," Mendel said, adding that the Ukrainian president "knows a lot of people from Putin's elite." "He actually professionally grew in Moscow and earned his first millions in Moscow, and today he pretends that he has nothing in common with them," Mendel said. RECOVERING FROM LUNG SURGERY, POPE LEO URGES PUTIN TO AGREE TO CEASEFIRE IN RUSSIAN-HELD UKRAINE CITY "He needs to go to Moscow and needs to agree on compromises that are acceptable," she said, before adding that Zelenskyy "doesn't need to play his maximalist games and to play this noble actor." Mendel's criticism came as Ukraine, Russia and the United States prepared for another round of technical-level peace talks, potentially in Abu Dhabi or Switzerland, in November. U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have helped lay the groundwork for renewed negotiations that officials hope could finally lead to direct talks between the two leaders. Before entering politics, Zelenskyy had built a successful entertainment career. Beginning in the late 1990s, he performed with the comedy troupe Kvartal 95, competed on the Russian-language comedy program KVN and later worked as an actor, writer and producer in television and movies.  From the late 1990s, he performed on Russian stages and at private parties and appeared in movies shown across former Soviet republics, Mendel claimed.  She said that after Russia annexed Crimea and launched its war in Donbas in early 2014, Zelenskyy traveled to Russia to work on the comedy film "Eight New Dates" which was released in Russian theaters in 2015. ZELENSKYY TO SEEK OFFRAMP FOR YEARS-LONG RUSSIA WAR IN UN SPEECH AFTER TRUMP REVEALS PEACE DEAL IS CLOSE According to a report by Business Insider, many of Zelenskyy's movies were also in Russian and were marketed to a Russian audience, David Dodson, an American movie editor who worked with Zelenskyy told the outlet. "He was a well-loved comic, actor and performer in Russia, but after [the 2013-14] Maidan [Revolution], everything changed," Dodson said. "People need to realize that Volodya’s movies were very big in Russia. Most of his market was in Russia. He’s always been a popular comedy star in Russia," Dobson also clarified to GQ when asked if he directed the former actor in "Eight First Dates" in Russia, released in 2012. In 2013, the movie received the Russian National Movie Awards as the Best Russian Comedy of the Year. In 2019, Zelenskyy also promised to relinquish ownership of a Cyprus-registered company operating a film studio in Russia after investigative journalists revealed that he and his business partners still owned three Russian companies, according to the Kyiv Post. Zelenskyy's entertainment career made him a household name in Ukraine and other former Soviet republics before he entered politics and won Ukraine's 2019 presidential election with roughly 73% of the runoff vote on promises to fight corruption and pursue peace in eastern Ukraine. Mendel argued that Zelenskyy's promise to bring peace at the time stands in stark contrast to the devastating war that has crippled the country and defined much of his presidency. TRUMP ANNOUNCES IMMEDIATE ENERGY CEASEFIRE BETWEEN RUSSIA AND UKRAINE "Zelenskyy became the president with 73% record support," Mendel said. "Because he promised to bring peace to Ukraine." "And now he has been presiding for almost five years (over) the largest war in Europe since World War II. This shows a lot." "When his country is bleeding, he needs to make a peace deal for his people," she said before adding that the leader "needs to put the interests of his people first, just for Ukraine to exist as an independent state." Whether Zelenskyy should travel to Moscow has, in fact, become a flashpoint in efforts to arrange direct peace talks. In 2025, Putin offered to host Zelenskyy for talks in Moscow, but the Ukrainian president rejected the invitation as Russian forces continued attacking Ukraine. "He can come to Kyiv," Zelenskyy told ABC News at the time, saying he could not visit Moscow while Ukraine remained under Russian missile attacks. In September, on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly, Russian journalists pressed Zelenskyy on when he would visit Moscow. He replied, "On a missile." ZELENSKYY CONGRATULATES TRUMP ON TURNING 80 IN BIRTHDAY CALL, VOWS MORE UKRAINE PEACE TALKS AT G7 ON TUESDAY Mendel, however, argued that personal animosity between the two leaders has become the main obstacle to diplomacy. "Today there are diplomatic efforts to try to stop this brutal and bloody war that Russia started," she said. "But what we see now is a personal opposition between Zelenskyy and Putin that continues to grow into constant escalation in which people suffer tremendously, Ukraine's infrastructure, energy grid, and businesses are in ruins, and refugees are fleeing." Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. More than four years later, peace negotiations are deadlocked over territory, security guarantees and the terms of a lasting ceasefire. Moscow has demanded territorial concessions from Ukraine, including areas Russian forces do not fully control. Kyiv has rejected ceding sovereign territory and insists that any agreement include enforceable security guarantees against another Russian attack. RUSSIA RELEASES AMERICAN TEACHER IMPRISONED ON UKRAINE MERCENARY CHARGES AFTER TRUMP PRESSED PUTIN Mendel went on to praise President Donald Trump's efforts to break the diplomatic deadlock, calling him the first Western leader to "challenge the status quo" and consistently push for an end to the war. "For this reason, many Ukrainians place great hope in his ability to bring peace," she said. "A sustainable peace deal cannot be reached solely between Zelensky and Putin; it requires the involvement and initiative of a strong third party to halt the ongoing devastation." On Friday, the White House announced that first lady Melania Trump had helped broker a temporary ceasefire in Oleshky, a Russian-occupied town in southern Ukraine's Kherson region, to allow humanitarian aid deliveries, demining operations and civilian evacuations. An estimated 1,700 to 2,000 people remain in the devastated front-line town, many of them facing severe shortages of food, medicine and other essentials. The White House said the ceasefire would begin Oct. 29, although Ukrainian and Russian officials have indicated that operations could begin Oct. 27. Pope Leo also reportedly spoke with Zelenskyy and Putin about the humanitarian crisis, according to Vatican News. ZELENSKYY ACCUSES PUTIN OF DEFYING TRUMP'S CEASEFIRE PUSH, SENDS POINTED MESSAGE TO WHITE HOUSE "Melania Trump has become synonymous with the words of a saver and a hero, since she has brokered the deal for Oleshky," Mendel said. "This is something that is going to save around 2,000 people and that neither Ukraine nor Russia could have solved for months and months." "That is why, you know, what Melania Trump has done is actually a case to show that where two men are fighting, a woman can actually save lives," she added. "And this is the new approach that would show that peace really should focus on human lives, not on maps and territories." Mendel also criticized the influence of Zelenskyy's longtime ally Andriy Yermak on his diplomatic approach, arguing that the Ukrainian president has favored confrontation over compromise. "Mr. Yermak was teaching Zelenskiy to be a strong man in diplomacy. And what today we see is actually diplomacy that doesn't exist," she said. "It's a diplomacy of humiliation, diplomacy of constant threats, diplomacy of demands," Mendel added.

McCarthy and Cam Skattebo, and 'Lord God in heaven' for Giants OT win te 2026-10-25T22:40:09.089Z Harbaugh credits players, including J.J. McCarthy and Cam Skattebo, and 'Lord God in heaven' for Giants OT win John Harbaugh was passing out credit for Sunday's overtime win against the Houston Texans immediately after the game. And the New York Giants coach said the credit goes to the players, including quarterback J.J. McCarthy and running back Cam Skattebo, and God. "First of all, I just want to humbly say, just personally, very grateful to my Lord, High Rock, Protector and Stronghold, the Lord God in heaven," Harbaugh said in opening his news conference. "And our guys, man, that was a player's win." The Giants are supposed to win this season with their young quarterback and young running back doing incredible things, but who could've predicted McCarthy would be the young quarterback instead of Jaxson Dart, and the young running back would have to get out of the coaching staff's doghouse first. JAXSON DART TORE HIS MCL AND MENISCUS WHICH REQUIRE SURGERY AND ENDS HIS 2026 SEASON WITH THE NEW YORK GIANTS McCarthy and Skattebo were outstanding in helping the Giants beat the Texans. Skattebo rushed for a career-high 124 yards, delivered perhaps the game's defining run in overtime to set up the winning points, and ran so hard throughout the game – get this – on one play he was flagged for unnecessary roughness. Because he buried an potential tackler. JJ MCCARTHY STEPS UP AS GIANTS POTENTIAL STARTING QUARTERBACK WHILE RUNNING BACK CAM SKATTEBO SITS ON BENCH NFL REFS HAVE SET ALL-TIME RECORD FOR FLAGS THIS SEASON, AND IT'S CHANGING THE OUTCOME OF GAMES On New York's second possession, Skattebo took a handoff from McCarthy and drove through a hole, lowered his head, and ran through Texans safety M.J. Stewart. Skattebo steamrolled Stewart but the NFL is all about player safety these days so he was flagged because he lowered his head before making contact. Larry Csonka, Jim Brown and Earl Campbell would have been proud. And the 15 yard penalty that followed would have been foreign and appalling to the all time greats. Skattebo wasn't done. He scored on a 16-yard run and in overtime got off a 42-yard run that gave the Giants the football at the Houston 28 yard line. A field goal would have won it from there, but Devin Singletary ran in for a TD on the next play and a Giants win. Harbaugh, who benched Skattebo last week, said his running back played with a "fierce joy" on Sunday. The coach also noted how McCarthy responded in his start to deliver his first win as the Giants starting quarterback. McCarthy was officially named the starter on Wednesday, succeeding Jameis Winston who had succeeded the injured Dart. McCarthy, who joined the team 27 days ago when he was traded from the Minnesota Vikings, had a good day. He was generally efficient, completing 20 of 28 passes for 252 yards. He didn't throw a touchdown pass, but didn't throw an interception and didn't fumble, either. "I thought he did a great job," Harbaugh said. "He sure didn't play perfect but he played a heck of a football game. He deserves a lot of credit." THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! The twin performance by his youngsters left Harbaugh confident his team can answer challenges – some of which he himself posed, including with the benching of Skattebo. "It tells you who they are," he said. "I thought before the game we're going to find out about our guys." The Giants are the only team in the NFC East with a winning record. And getting their practically new, young quarterback to perform while rediscovering the team's leading rusher suggests this team will be relevant despite not having Dart. "We're going to be in it until the end now," Harbaugh said.

Just a few weeks ago, the USC Trojans were seemingly riding a wave of positive momentum. In the Lincoln Riley era, SC has struggled to win on the road, particularly against traditionally big programs. In 2025, for example, the Trojans went 9-3 in the regular season, with all three losses coming at Illinois, at Oregon and at Notre Dame. But things were supposed to be different in 2026. SC brought in the number one recruiting class in the country. They brought back starting quarterback Jayden Maiava, entering his third year in the program and second full season as the starter. New defensive coordinator Gary Patterson brought a wealth of experience and a history of getting elite performance out of TCU level talent. LINCOLN RILEY HOT SEAT RUMORS GET LOUDER AFTER 'FIRE LINCOLN' CHANTS DURING USC-WASHINGTON While the schedule looked daunting, thanks to games against Oregon, Penn State, Ohio State and Indiana, 2026 was widely viewed as a turning point for the program. Win 10 games and make the College Football Playoff, or bust. Through early October, despite some underwhelming performances, the Trojans were squarely in position. Chaos throughout the SEC opened the door for more available at-large spots. Despite an ugly home loss to a diminished Oregon team, SC was 5-1 heading into a big road game against Penn State. And finally, a Riley-coached SC team looked prepared. Even with the "White Out" home crowd, a motivated PSU team, the lengthy road trip to the Eastern Time Zone, and a long litany of injuries, SC won 31-23 ahead of their bye week. In the interim, Ohio State lost their starting quarterback Julian Sayin, likely for the remainder of the regular season, making their matchup on Halloween look a lot more winnable. SC just had to get through another road game at Wisconsin to set up the biggest home game in years. And boy oh boy did they not get through it. Almost immediately, the Trojans looked the way they so frequently have under Riley: poorly coached, undisciplined, and unable to overcome when things start going against them. Their offensive line, which was supposed to be a strength, was confused and overwhelmed by a Wisconsin defense that allowed 41 points to Notre Dame. Maiava played one of his worst games as a Trojan, throwing two interceptions, though one was on a deflected pass, and taking multiple awful intentional grounding penalties. One of which set up a much longer field goal attempt, which was promptly blocked. USC's running game was nonexistent, with minus-17 total yards thanks to Maiava's minus-57 — minus-57!!! — rushing yards. There were multiple drops by the receiving corps. Perhaps most emblematic was the sequence that played out late in the second quarter. Wisconsin had a nearly eight-minute touchdown drive, kicking the ball back to SC with the Badgers up 10-7, 1:51 remaining and the Trojans still with all three timeouts. Boobie Feaster muffed the kickoff at the goal line, however, and SC started their drive at their own 7-yard-line. After five plays and a first down, they ended the half at the ... 8-yard line. Then in the second half, Riley made a series of indefensible mistakes. The Badgers started the third quarter by driving down to the USC 16-yard line, but the Trojans' defense held, setting up a fourth-and-2. Wisconsin came out in an unusual formation, with four wide receivers bunched toward the sideline. Riley decided against calling a timeout, even though his defense wasn't aligned properly, with just two defensive backs on four receivers, and multiple players covering no one in the middle of the field. Predictably, the play resulted in a Wisconsin touchdown, extending their lead to 17-7. SC's drive to start the fourth quarter was equally bad. The Trojans moved the ball down to the Wisconsin 33-yard line, before Maiava took a sack on second down to make it third-and-20. SC picked up eight to set up a lengthy, 53-yard field goal attempt. A substitution-based delay of game penalty made it fourth-and-17 from the 41-yard-line, and instead of punting, or even just throwing a screen pass to pick up yardage with a slight chance of a first down, Riley chose to attempt a 59-yard field goal. Predictably, it came up about 10 yards short. The Badgers drove down the field immediately afterward for the back-breaking, game-ending touchdown that not only gave SC their second loss, but seemingly put a bow on Riley's time in Los Angeles. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Not all the blame for the loss goes on Riley; Maiava was awful, looking hurried, flustered and frequently making poor decisions. The offensive line was atrocious, giving up pressure after pressure and flailing helplessly in the run game too. Once again, the SC defense just wasn't good enough, despite the Badgers' one-dimensional offensive "attack." Wisconsin averaged just 3.5 yards per play, with only 200 total yards. They had 58 — 58! — total passing yards. Wisconsin barely even attempted plays other than inside or outside zone handoffs or designed quarterback runs. And SC still allowed three touchdown drives. Explanations for this individual game aside, it's the result that's once again indefensible. Wisconsin is nowhere close to the level of Ohio State, Indiana, Georgia, Notre Dame or other top teams, and SC's offense was completely overmatched anyway. Seven points was the fewest scored by any Riley-coached team. Ever. In year five, it's the same mistakes, over and over again and a defense that can't win games when the offense struggles. Indiana escaped over Michigan 13-6, because their defense can get stops when they need them. That's never been the case for a Riley-coached SC team. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! SC still has an opportunity to reach the playoffs if they beat Ohio State, Indiana, Maryland and UCLA. But it's impossible to believe they'll win those four games. It's hard to believe they'll win more than two. Which sets up yet another disappointing 8-4 or, at best, 9-3 season. For all the money that's been dumped into the program, that's not good enough. In year five of the Riley era, SC has yet to reach the College Football Playoff, has shown little improvement on defense, and, with Caleb Williams in his final year in LA, finished 7-5 in the regular season. His buyout might be huge, but it's clear that this isn't working and probably never will. Meanwhile, across town, Bob Chesney has UCLA in prime position to reach the College Football Playoff in his first season. One week after beating Wisconsin 17-7 at the Rose Bowl, with a backup quarterback starting for the Bruins. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER What is there left to see? What more can the SC athletic department do? How many more top recruiting classes does Riley need to avoid these kinds of inexcusable losses? Yes, winning in college football is tougher than it's ever been, thanks to NIL and the transfer portal. Yet somehow, programs like Georgia and Ohio State, which USC would like to believe they're similar to in pedigree and track record, are able to consistently win 10+ games. Riley did it once, in 2022. Then promptly lost to Tulane in an absurd fourth quarter defensive collapse. It's just not good enough. And when the Buckeyes are running away with yet another win next Saturday, those "Fire Riley" chants at the Coliseum are going to be deafening. Probably too deafening for the SC administration to ignore.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ade809bf04c506ce1bff178 Rogers fires back at Welker over El-Sayed's Muslim Brotherhood controversy, 'You are giving him a pass' te 2026-10-25T22:20:11.997Z Rogers fires back at Welker over El-Sayed's Muslim Brotherhood controversy, 'You are giving him a pass' Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers fired back at NBC's "Meet the Press" moderator Kristen Welker on Sunday over his allegations about Democratic opponent Abdul El-Sayed and the Muslim Brotherhood, accusing Welker of defending his rival during a heated exchange about the Islamist organization. Rogers challenged Welker after she said that El-Sayed had already disavowed any ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and defended her previous interview with El-Sayed in which he denied any ties to the group. "No, he has not, he dismissed the question ... I don't know why you give this guy a pass," Rogers said, as the two interrupted each other. "You are giving him a pass on something he should be accountable for." MIKE ROGERS PRESSES CNN'S DANA BASH ON WHY THE PRESS IS 'EAGER' TO DEFEND ABDUL EL-SAYED Welker pressed Rogers on his own 2012 remarks, displaying a past quote where he said the U.S. would have to "reach out to and talk to" moderate members of the Muslim Brotherhood and asking whether he acknowledged having once been willing to engage with them.  Rogers accused Welker of twisting his words to defend El-Sayed rather than scrutinize his opponent's record. He explained that, as House Intelligence Committee chairman at the time, his focus was on preserving intelligence cooperation between Egypt and Israel to prevent further regional violence. "What you're doing now is trying to twist this thing to defend your position for letting him lie to you," he added. The confrontation intensified when Welker pressed Rogers about President Donald Trump's characterization of El-Sayed as a violent terrorist. Welker challenged the accusation, saying there was no evidence to support it. She also noted that El-Sayed had denied any affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood and publicly disavowed the organization. Rogers rejected the suggestion that he had personally described his Democratic opponent as a terrorist. "I've never called him a terrorist," Rogers said. MICHIGAN SENATE RIVALS CLASH OVER MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD ALLEGATIONS AS ROGERS DOUBLES DOWN ON EL-SAYED Rogers' campaign doubled down on his criticism in a statement to Fox News Digital, with spokesperson Abby Ronson questioning El-Sayed's responses and urging national media outlets to scrutinize his record. "Abdul is an Oxford-trained debater," Ronson said. "Yet every time he’s asked about his support of the Muslim Brotherhood, he deflects, gets angry and dismisses the question. Michiganders deserve an answer on what should be an incredibly easy question to answer." "Why won’t his campaign put out an equivocal [sic] statement disavowing a terrorist organization? The national media should start asking him why that is instead of making excuses for him," she continued. Rogers' allegations stem from previously reported connections between El-Sayed, members of his family and the Muslim Brotherhood, including a 2012 letter supporting Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood-backed president, Mohamed Morsi. The Washington Free Beacon reported that El-Sayed was among 46 Egyptian American community figures who signed a November 2012 letter backing Morsi's decisions and urging him to purge Egypt's police and media. The outlet identified El-Sayed as a signatory to the letter, which was published as Morsi faced criticism for expanding his presidential powers. OBAMA PREPARES TO RALLY WITH MICHIGAN DEM WHO ONCE DELIVERED SCATHING VERDICT ON HIS PRESIDENCY Past social media posts from El-Sayed's half-sister, Eman Abdelhadi, recently surfaced and described their family's history with the Muslim Brotherhood. In one 2012 post, Abdelhadi acknowledged longstanding family connections to the organization. "My family has long been MB, but I've always felt that it has navigated the political sphere poorly/destructively," Abdelhadi said. In another post, Abdelhadi described a conversation with her mother about participating in Muslim Brotherhood activism while attending college in Egypt during the 1970s. El-Sayed has maintained that he was raised by his father and stepmother and has accused Rogers of exploiting his Muslim faith for political purposes. Fox News Digital reached out to El-Sayed for comment, but did not immediately receive a response. He denied that he or his family had ties to the organization when Welker questioned him during an Oct. 11 appearance on "Meet the Press." "No," El-Sayed said when Welker asked whether he or his family had any connections to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Whether the race takes place in the spring or fall, the event can have major implications in the chase for the NASCAR Cup Series Championship. Tight racing at the Yellawood 500 on Sunday saw a big wreck on the front straightaway and Joey Logano and Riley Herbst taking the hardest hits. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! With six laps to go and David Gilliland leading the pack, Logano had Carson Hocevar on his bumper and Ross Chastain in front of him. Logano got loose, spun and nailed the wall. He flipped onto his roof and took a ride upside down as his vehicle crossed the line. In the midst of the carnage, Herbst seemed to have hit the wall and lost his ability to hit the brakes. Herbst drove into the outside retaining wall and veered to his left. Herbst appeared to go full speed into the inside barrier beyond the apron. He bounced off the wall before his vehicle came to a complete stop. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE NASCAR said Logano and Herbst were both taken to the infield care center for evaluations and released. Logano was sixth in the points standings coming into the race. Herbst was out of contention. The race picked back up minutes later. Kyle Larson was leading to start overtime and picked up the white flag. He fell off the lead going down the backstretch but motored his way as the pack moved to the final stretch. Larson, somehow, came away with the victory by 0.041 seconds over William Byron and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. The defending NASCAR Cup Series champion came into the race leading Christopher Bell by five points. But Bell crashed early and set him back a bit. Larson’s victory meant he got closer to the title with two races remaining on the schedule.

There was a large contingent who believed a winless season was in the cards for Jeff Hafley’s rebuilding Dolphins team entering his first season as head coach. But that crisis was averted on Sunday, as Hafley and the Dolphins picked up their first win of the 2026 NFL season against the New York Jets, 28-25, at MetLife Stadium. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE And while a winless season was avoided, the Dolphins also made sure they didn’t go 0-6 for the first time since 2019. Quarterback Malik Willis threw for two touchdowns and run for a score to help lead the Dolphins over their AFC East foe, while Miami showed some clear spirit on the road post-bye week. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! The Dolphins scored on their first two drives of the game, with Willis finding rookie Caleb Douglas, who missed the last few games due to injury, for a seven-yard touchdown grab to kick off the scoring in this one. Then, Ollie Gordon, who has played well since the season-ending injury to De’Von Achane, busted his way into the end zone to cap a 14-play drive, making it 14-7. Geno Smith and the Jets were hoping to get themselves back on track at 2-4 entering Sunday, and he looked good on the opening drive. He hit Omar Cooper Jr. for a 52-yard catch to flip the field, and tight end Mason Taylor made a highlight-reel grab to tie the game at seven apiece. But when halftime came around, the Dolphins were up 21-7 after Willis scrambled in from two yards out with just seconds left on the clock. New York made things interesting late, though, as Smith found Taylor again for a 12-yard score, and the tight end also caught the two-point conversion to make it 28-25 with 3:24 left in the game. Willis and the Dolphins had the opportunity to seal victory on the ensuing drive. It was the mobile quarterback doing just that on fourth down. He pushed through on fourth-and-1 with the first down needed to start the celebrations. Of course, the Dolphins need quite the win streak to get back into the playoff picture, but the weight is off everyone’s backs in Miami. Meanwhile, Aaron Glenn and the Jets have more questions to answer as they fall to 2-5 on the year after a solid start to the season. Smith was 23-of-30 for 287 yards with three touchdown passes and an interception, but the Jets can’t seem to find consistent play.

For the singer and actress, the physical toll manifested in her vocal cords. But medical professionals emphasize that her experience is only a visible symptom of a deeper health crisis affecting millions of Americans who use e-cigarettes every day. While often marketed as a safer alternative to conventional cigarettes, e-cigarettes pose significant health risks. Aside from the immediate vocal strain and airway inflammation noted by otolaryngologists, major health institutions warn that regular vaping exposes the body to a cocktail of toxic chemicals, cardiovascular strain and respiratory risks. SELENA GOMEZ WARNS FANS AFTER VAPING HABIT LEAVES HER WITH PERMANENT CONSEQUENCE Specialists emphasize that e-cigarettes deliver more concentrated doses of nicotine than traditional cigarettes, rapidly driving chemical dependency in the brain. "With e-cigarettes and vaping, you can get a very high dose of nicotine, and that directly correlates to addiction and how difficult it can be to break these patterns," Trent Carter, a nurse practitioner and CEO of Renew Health in New Mexico, previously told Fox News Digital. Carter notes that high nicotine intake without traditional smoke can carry its own health consequences. "It can lead to sleep disturbances, increased anxiety, and if you have underlying cardiac problems or high blood pressure, it’s going to raise your heart rate and elevate your blood pressure, leading to all sorts of issues." According to the American Lung Association, the aerosol produced by e-cigarettes contains fine chemical particles, heavy metals such as nickel and lead, and organic compounds. Over time, inhaling these irritants can trigger chronic airway inflammation, irreversible lung tissue scarring, and obstructive pulmonary conditions. NEVER SMOKED A CIGARETTE? YOU COULD STILL BE AT HIGHER RISK FOR LUNG CANCER A major concern among physicians is the chemical composition of e-liquids. Even nicotine-free formulas contain flavorings and solvent agents like propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin. When heated by the device’s coil, these liquids break down into toxic compounds, including formaldehyde and acrolein, both known to damage cellular structures in the respiratory system. Doctors stress that because modern e-cigarettes have only been widely used for a little over a decade, long-term health consequences are still unclear. While immediate effects may appear as hoarseness, coughing, or reduced athletic endurance, the larger impact poses risks to long-term vital organ function. For many attempting to quit vaping, traditional tools like nicotine patches or gum can fall short because they don't address the psychological habit. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ "While a patch or gum can help with physical cravings, if you aren't addressing the behavioral aspect, you're missing a huge component," Carter said.

Subconsciously, you might not even realize how frequently you're doing it, or that you're using it to cope with underlying anxiety or lack of sleep." CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES For those inspired by Gomez, health professionals urge people to seek comprehensive support rather than simply switch nicotine delivery methods. "The goal shouldn't be to find another way to consume nicotine, it should be to treat the dependence itself," said Carter.

Anna Mochalova, 32, was arrested Saturday evening and charged with eight counts each of assault and menacing, along with two counts each of aggravated harassment and criminal possession of a weapon, police confirmed to Fox News Digital. Manhattan Shomrim Safety Patrol credited its volunteers, the NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force, Shomrim groups in Crown Heights and Queens, and tips from the public with helping secure the arrest.

Surveillance video shared by Manhattan Shomrim shows the suspected attacker following the rabbi around a parked car as he tries to avoid her before the stabbing, according to the Post. The rabbi told the outlet he believes his appearance made him a target.

Despite the attack, the rabbi returned to the area the next day to continue Jewish outreach, the Post reported. He credited his grandparents, who survived the Holocaust, with inspiring him to return. "They went on to build a Jewish home after the Holocaust," he told the outlet. "If they could survive, I must go back to spread the light." Advocacy group StopAntisemitism also condemned the reported attack.

Rodgers, in his 22nd and final year in the league, reflected on past collective bargaining negotiations with the NFL after Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints and said opportunities were missed to make international games bigger. "The reach of the league is fantastic, and I think I always wanted to be a part of it," Rodgers said. "I remember the 2011 CBA (collective bargaining agreement), there was talk about more games, expanding the amount of international games. NFL OVERCOMES CIVIL UNREST, TRUMP CONCERNS AND CALLS TO POSTPONE AS STEELERS AND SAINTS KICK OFF IN PARIS "Didn't really a whole lot until the second CBA, and there was talk about doing a week, an international week where you had games in 16 different places, and you just added an extra bye-week." Wait, the NFL and NFL Players Association talked about having a full week of solely international games? That might have caused something of a revolt among American NFL fans wanting to drive down the road to their local team's stadium and enjoy America's game – in America. "So you'd play 16 regular-season games," Rodgers continued. "You have two bye weeks. One of those weeks would have been an international week. I think it'd been phenomenal for the game." NFL FIELD EXPERT SAYS PLAYING INTERNATIONAL GAME ON BRAZIL FIELD 'CHALLENGING' AND INCLUDED TRIM WITH SCISSORS Not in America, but tell us more, Aaron. Tell us about the current situation. "Now that the owners want to push for 17 games for the, you know, extra revenue and because they care so much about player safety, it [the international week] would have been nice," Rodgers said. Did you notice the passive-aggressive dig at NFL owners? But back to Aaron's wish for the international week to have come to pass: SOLD OUT MELBOURNE CROWD STANDS FOR 25TH ANNIVERSARY COMMEMORATION OF 9/11 AT NFL'S FIRST AUSTRALIA GAME "I think there's 16 opportunities," he said. "I mean, you could do obviously in Canada, you could do in Mexico. There's been games in Brazil. You could probably open up another country in South America. "Obviously, there's a lot of opportunities in Europe, you know, Ireland, fantastic, France, Spain, Germany, multiple games in England. And then who knows?" EXCLUSIVE: SECRETARY OF STATE MARCO RUBIO GIVES NFL COMMISSIONER ASSURANCES THAT GAME IN FRANCE 'WILL BE FINE' The "who knows," in Rodgers' mind, includes playing in more exotic venues abroad. "There's, uh, you know, Dubai," he said. "That area has really gotten into the sporting world in a number of ways. You got a boxing and UFC, I think was there yesterday, I believe. NFL MONITORS FRANCE STREET VIOLENCE BEFORE SAINTS-STEELERS GAME NEAR PARIS WITH A MAJOR DECISION LOOMING "So I think there's great opportunities for expansion in those things. It'd be awesome to see them have that international week. Because I think it's great for the game and the expansion of the game." Despite the fact Rodgers is a major fan of playing games abroad, he does wish the league and its owners would agree to set parameters for them that include travel. The NFL was asked about that possibility last week and was against the idea of imposing travel mandates on individual teams. But commissioner Rodgers would do it – once he's done taking another jab at those money-grubbing owners. "I wish there was a mandate, though, from the league, and they would have to open up their pocketbooks too, which, you know, maybe they'll look tight on money and stuff," Rodgers said. "But, I think they should mandate every team coming over Sunday or Monday to really enjoy the culture and the place you're going. And you can do events in those cities and outreach stuff in community work. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! "But they won't because they're a little tight." That's truly something when one of the NFL's biggest names and something of an ambassador for the game wants to play an entire week's schedule abroad, but in the next breath says the NFL will never do it because the owners and the league are too cheap.

Dr. Rhonda Voskuhl, a professor of neurology at UCLA and co-founder of Cleopatra RX in Los Angeles, says brain exercises only work if they target the specific mental function that is slowing down. "You can’t just do random cognitive exercises," Voskuhl told Fox News Digital at the Livelong Women’s Health Summit in New York City in September. "They’ve got to fit the problem." DOCTOR REVEALS '10-YEAR RULE' FOR EVALUATING BRAIN FOG AND DEMENTIA SYMPTOMS The problem, she said, is verbal memory. "Doing math is not going to help … You need an exercise that will help you with words." Mental fog — especially the kind triggered by midlife hormone changes during perimenopause and menopause — impacts very specific areas of the brain, according to Voskuhl. When estrogen levels drop, overall intelligence and basic logic remain completely normal. Instead, the brain takes a hit in two main areas: verbal memory (recalling names and words) and processing speed (thinking quickly under pressure), experts say. FORGETTING NAMES AND LOSING KEYS MAY SIGNAL SOMETHING OTHER THAN DEMENTIA Games like Sudoku and other number puzzles primarily exercise logic and math skills, so they may not improve word-recall difficulties. "It’s not a global problem with the brain," Voskuhl said. "It’s not global brain atrophy, but there are some regions on MRIs and research studies that show that the hippocampus, the memory area, will have some atrophies, some functional connection issues." To understand why word-based exercises may help, it is useful to distinguish between the following two stages of memory, experts say. DAILY EATING HABIT LINKED TO BETTER BRAIN HEALTH IN OLDER ADULTS, NEW RESEARCH SUGGESTS Brain fog typically affects retrieval, not encoding. The word or name is still stored safely in the memory, but the brain's search engine is running slowly. CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES To effectively target brain fog, Voskuhl says exercises need to focus on two things: finding words and working quickly. "It’s basically processing speed," she said. "So you need an exercise that is going to be something that makes you rush, makes you do it quickly." The following types of exercises target processing speed and active word recall. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER Instead of using generic puzzle apps, Voskuhl recommends paying attention to where you stumble in daily life and picking games that match those challenges. People "know themselves," she said — "what they are bad at or what they used to be good at and now they’re not as good at ... Once you know those things, you should think about what kind of games [to play]. You can play around with different games. You can see if it pushes you."

During an episode of her "Brandi Glanville Unfiltered" podcast, shared on Thursday, Oct. 22, the 53-year-old reality star went into detail about the "exploratory surgery" she is scheduled to have on Friday. "Dr. Carlo Honrado is taking my face off on Friday and going to do an exploratory surgery to kind of do a power wash under my skin," she said. "And then he knows where there's two definite spots, like either fungal balls or something alive. I think it's alive personally cause it moves when it wants." She explained that after four years of dealing with the issue, she is "super excited" but also "scared to death" because she has "never had facial surgery" and has heard the procedure is "more intensive than a facelift." FORMER REALITY STAR OPENS UP ABOUT NEW DIAGNOSIS AFTER YEARS-LONG HEALTH ORDEAL While she is nervous, Glanville is hopeful the surgery will be a success, as facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Honrado, "comes highly recommended." She noted that she is "okay" with the $5,000 price tag, telling herself, "what if he actually does take it out and it's done?" "It started in my face, my cheek and my jawbone, and then it went over my head back in my neck. Now it's down my spine," she explained. She went on to say that the doctor told her if he is able to "cut that head off the beast", getting rid of the rest of it will be more manageable. Glanville previously shared that she believed she picked up a parasite after visiting Morocco in 2023. She suffered from facial paralysis and was initially diagnosed with stress-induced angioedema.

During a recent interview with Fox News Digital, the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alum revealed she agreed to compete on the current season of "Special Forces" because she needed the money after years of spending on medical treatments. "The medical system here is broken," Glanville explained. "So I have, like, from 8 a.m. on, I have creditors from, like, medical things calling me, like from Cedars-Sinai. It's out of control. Like I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars that I had saved. I emptied my 401(k). And it's all for medical bills. And I had insurance, and they told me nothing was wrong. I'm so angry. You know, going into my mid-fifties I had a cushion and that's gone. So it's very scary right now."

He runs hard and crashes into defenders left and right. On Sunday, NFL officials suggested he crossed a line while trying to truck over a Houston Texans player. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Skattebo took a handoff from quarterback J.J. McCarthy in the first quarter. Skattebo found a crease, lowered his helmet and ran over an opposing defender. The running back put his head down and collided with safety M.J. Stewart. A flag was thrown on the play and Skattebo was called for unnecessary roughness because he lowered his helmet. It’s really unclear what Skattebo was supposed to do in that situation. Helmet-to-helmet crashes happen in the NFL and usually a flag is thrown if the player on the receiving end of the damage is considered to be a defenseless player or a defender leads with their helmet when making a tackle – not the opposite. Even Giants head coach John Harbaugh seemed perplexed. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE The Giants and Texans were in a tight matchup in Week 7. The two teams were tied going into the half 14-14. Skattebo had come under the microscope because he had no carries against the New Orleans Saints in Week 6. The Giants appeared to make some kind of point with Skattebo’s inaction. Harbaugh insisted last week he didn’t bench Skattebo. "It wasn’t by design for him not to carry the ball," Harbaugh said. "Just when he was in there, we didn’t call any runs. You’re not thinking about which back is in the game and how many runs they’re getting. It’s we were going to give them all an equal shot, give them a chance, see who got a hot hand maybe, see who could get going with it. We weren’t planning on being down by 24, that’s for sure." Skattebo’s fumbles have been a cause for concern but probably not enough to warrant a benching. He was certainly back in the offense in Week 7. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The Texas-born country star said he walked away from a record deal after executives suggested he swap his signature cowboy look for a baseball cap — a move he viewed as a demand to change who he was before he could make it in the music business. "They wanted a baseball cap, which I have nothing against, but it was the approach. It was the 'you're great, but once we change you, you'll make it.' And it pissed me off," he said in an interview with "CBS Mornings." "I tipped my hat and said, 'Thank you for your time.'" CARRIE UNDERWOOD SAYS HER FAMILY COULD BE 'SELF-SUSTAINED' ON TENNESSEE FARM AWAY FROM HOLLYWOOD SPOTLIGHT It was a gamble that could have cost him his shot at stardom. Instead, Johnson spent the next 10 years building a career on his own terms, playing bars and honky-tonks before becoming one of country music's biggest stars. During his interview, Johnson spoke candidly about his rise to fame and the years of work behind his success. COUNTRY SINGER CODY JOHNSON FORCED TO STOP 'GOD BLESS AMERICA' PERFORMANCE AS VIOLENT BRAWL BREAKS OUT Long before arena crowds and industry recognition, the singer was a small-town Texas kid who dreamed of becoming a rodeo star.

To no surprise, the biggest faller in this week's poll belongs to the BYU Cougars, who dropped six spots to No. 8 after losing to UCF on the road in double overtime. On the other side of the spectrum, Texas is this week's biggest jumper, with the Longhorns moving up eight spots to No. 11 after holding on and beating Ole Miss at home, 34-27. Outside of Miami holding down the No. 1 spot for the second consecutive week, every team featured in the Top 20 this week has a new number next to their name. The Big 12 saw a bit of cannibalization in Week 8, but when all the dust settled, Utah improved to 7-0 on the year after its late-night win over Houston, and was rewarded by moving up to No. 6 in the nation.

The Bucs led the Panthers convincingly with a 33-6 lead at halftime and 8 of their points came in freakish fashion. The freakish fashion? A defensive two-point conversion by cornerback Zyon McCullom. A big-man touchdown fumble return by 280-pound defensive tackle Calijah Kancey. Not typical. BAKER MAYFIELD LEAVES GAME AFTER WRITHING IN PAIN ON TURF IN TAMPA BAY WHEN THUMB ON THROWING HAND INJURED Let's begin with the Kancey score first. The Bucs have so far smothered the Panthers' offense and evidence of that was Al-Quadin Muhammad's strip-sack of Carolina quarterback Bryce Young. Well, if you got a strip, you've got a loose football and Kancey scooped up the loose ball on a bounce, outran an offensive lineman 32 yards to the end zone and completed the score by performing a flip over the goal line. None of that is typical big man behavior. BAKER MAYFIELD LOSES BET TO COACH TODD BOWLES, HAS 'ROUGH COUPLE OF DAYS' INCLUDING AT PRESS CONFERENCE This is dream-of-a-lifetime stuff for any defensive player. It's practically unheard of for a defensive lineman. And, interestingly, Kancey's rare moment was not the most unorthodox of this game for the Bucs. We present McCollum's two-pointer. The Panthers had cut the deficit with a 50-yard hookup between Young and tight end Darren Waller. That cut Tampa Bay's lead to 17-6. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! But on the ensuing extra point, McCullom snatched a blocked extra point out of the air and returned it for, well, a conversion for the Bucs. Two points. Zany. McCollum, by the way, is having a day. He also intercepted Young later in the first half. The Bucs are in last place in the NFC South with a 1-5 record. But Baker Mayfield started this game after missing the previous three games with a dislocated thumb on his right (throwing) hand. Mayfield threw a touchdown pass to Tez Johnson to give the Bucs a 33-6 halftime lead. Tampa Bay's 33 first-half points is the third-most in franchise history and most since 2021. Thanks, weirdo points. The Panthers, who have allowed eight points in the most unorthodox way, came into the game leading the NFC South with a 3-2 record.

Now, with two sons of his own, the country music star is looking forward to being on the other side of those childhood memories. And he's already getting a head start. CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE FROM OUTKICK OUTDOORS McCollum, who welcomed his second son with wife Hallie Ray in July, recently spent several days at the family ranch with his oldest boy, 2-year-old Major. "I was taking him with me to kind of, you know, just do some ranch stuff," McCollum told OutKick OutDoors in an exclusive interview. "He can't really. He just kind of stands out there and pulls grass out of the ground while I'm working or whatever." Major might not be much help around the ranch just yet, but McCollum certainly doesn't mind. After all, he remembers exactly what it was like to be that little boy. Watch Parker McCollum's whole interview with OutKick OutDoors here: "I remember those days so vividly," he said. "My dad would get me out of school early on a Friday to go down to the lease or the ranch or whatever, and we would let it rip all weekend. And a lot of times it was just him and I. "To say that I look forward to doing that for him and with him is an understatement." Hunting has been part of McCollum's life for as long as he can remember. In a 2022 interview with NRA Country, the Texas native recalled going bird hunting with his father when he was around 8 years old, carrying a single-shot .410 shotgun. He also identified his dad as one of his favorite hunting buddies. But McCollum's love for the outdoors started even before he was old enough to participate. During a 2024 interview with Audacy, McCollum remembered crying when his father and other family members left for hunting trips without him because he was too young to come along. Once he finally got his chance, he was hooked. CHARTER CAPTAIN JONATHAN MOSS EXPLAINS HOW TO GET KIDS HOOKED ON FISHING FROM AN EARLY AGE That outdoors-centered upbringing extended beyond hunting season, too. McCollum spent summers working cattle, branding steers and tending to his grandfather's ranch alongside his cousins. Now he's hoping Major and his younger brother, Rocker, will grow up with that same appreciation for the outdoors. And for McCollum, it's about much more than harvesting deer. With a demanding music career, two young children and a schedule that often keeps him on the road, McCollum understands how difficult it can be to slow down. That's exactly why he believes time outdoors is so important. "There is nothing I love more than sitting in a tree in East Texas or South Texas or the Midwest. Even if you don’t see a dadgum deer," he told OutKick OutDoors. "There's just something about it that's so good for your soul." McCollum explained that his family's trips to the ranch aren’t about checking things off a to-do list or packing as much activity into the day as possible. "Our whole intention was just slowing it down and turning it off and just spending time as a family, and no agenda," he said. "We wake up late and cook breakfast, and hunt in the evenings, and crockpot dinner, and ride around." It's a deliberate departure from the pace of everyday life — one McCollum says is becoming increasingly difficult to escape. And that's precisely the lesson he hopes his sons will carry into adulthood. "Don't ever get so busy or worried about other stuff that you forget to do this."

President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance are rallying Republicans across the country, while former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Kamala Harris are campaigning for Democrats. The map traces their campaign stops so far this month, with states visited by both sides shaded gray. FLOURISH MAP HERE 30686479 Trump’s stops span the country, from Texas and Oklahoma to Ohio, Georgia, Florida and Michigan. He said in early October he planned to hold five to seven rallies a week. This weekend, he campaigned in Florida on Friday, Georgia on Saturday and Michigan on Sunday. HIGH PRICES PUT TRUMP’S ECONOMY IN THE SPOTLIGHT AS THE GOP FIGHTS TO HOLD CONGRESS The map includes both reliably Republican states and states with competitive races. Oklahoma and Alabama, for example, are deep-red states where rallies can help energize the GOP base. Ohio, Texas and Iowa have competitive Senate contests; recent Cook Political Report polling showed Democratic candidates narrowly ahead in all three. Michigan is also a key Senate battleground. REPUBLICANS JUST GOT A POWERFUL NEW PLAYBOOK FOR THE BATTLE FOR CONGRESS. HERE'S WHAT'S INSIDE. The stops by Obama and Harris show Democrats are also leaning on well-known figures in states with consequential races. Obama campaigned in Ohio and Michigan, while Harris’s recent appearances included Nevada, Mississippi and New Hampshire. The map tracks campaign travel, not a formal ranking of battlegrounds. However, it offers a snapshot of where the parties are trying to rally voters in the final stretch before Nov. 3.

Rob Lowe recently praised one of his former co-stars as the best on-screen kiss of his career, while Nicole Kidman previously roasted one of her former screen partners as her worst. Whether it was the circumstances surrounding the shoot, the chemistry between the actors or a co-star's choices at lunch, these star's share what can make or break a romantic scene for them. Here are some stars who have disclosed their best and worst on-screen kisses. Rob Lowe dished on the actress he considers to be his best on-screen kiss. During a recent appearance on "Watch What Happens Live," the "The Outsiders" star told host Andy Cohen while playing "Plead the Fifth" that his best kiss was with co-star, Nastassja Kinski, while filming "The Hotel New Hampshire." "Have a look at her," he said when asked what made her the best. "At that moment in time, she was probably the most beautiful woman I’d certainly ever seen." While she was his favorite co-star to kiss, he also mentioned he felt "very, very scared" to kiss her. Sharon Stone has only one co-star in mind when it comes to her best kiss. During an interview on  SiriusXM’s "Radio Andy" in April, the actress called Robert De Niro, "the best kisser in the business," and said the kiss they shared while filming the 1995 movie, "Chicago," "really just knocked me out." "We did this scene where I have to go to the bathroom, and because I play this hustler, I get him to give me money to go," Stone explained. "He gives me this money and I look at him like, ‘Really? I think a little more than $50 for the bathroom.' And he … reaches in, and he gives me, like, $100, and then I lean over, and I kiss him." ROBERT DE NIRO GETS EMOTIONAL AS AMY POEHLER PRAISES HIM FOR SPEAKING 'TRUTH TO POWER' AS REGULAR TRUMP CRITIC The kiss was enjoyed by both her and De Niro, with Stone telling Andy Cohen that when director, Martin Scorsese, asked if they wanted to film the scene again, "We both looked at him and went, 'Yeah, I think maybe we need one more.'" Although fans love the kiss between Rocky Balboa and Adrian in "Rocky," Sylvester Stallone doesn't have fond memories from filming the scene. In a recent interview with Page Six Hollywood, Stallone referred to his kiss with actress Talia Shire as "the kiss from hell," but it was no fault of the actress. "Then I go in to kiss her — pull the hat off, the glasses — and… her nose is running. Badly," he said. "So we go in for the kiss and she goes [bad coughing noise]. And I go, ‘Oh my God!’And I have to keep moving forward. There is no reverse. So I knew exactly as soon as I kissed her that within an hour I had the flu." He then recalled that shortly after filming the romantic scene, he found himself in bed with a runny nose. Nicole Kidman did not hold back when it came to describing her worst on-screen kiss. During an appearance on the "Las Culturistas" podcast in March, the "Practical Magic" star revealed she "cannot stand bad breath," calling it a "dealbreaker" for her when it comes to men. She noted, "You want me to lean in? Smell good." She then called out her former "Big Little Lies" co-star, Alexander Skarsgard, for eating a falafel shortly before they were going to film a romantic scene. "I'm like, 'No, no, no, Alex. I'm meant to be kissing you and into you. Put away the falafel now. Because the bad breath does not turn me on,'" she recalled. "I said, 'No more falafel. Nope. Not before you kiss. Not before you make love. No more falafel. Put the falafel away.'"

While playing Vanity Fair’s Lie Detector Test with her "The Glass Onion" co-star, Janelle Monáe, Hudson was asked to compare her on-screen kisses with two former co-stars; Billy Crudup and Matthew McConaughey. "I think Billy is a gentler kisser," she said. "Better? I wouldn’t say better. Definitely…definitely just gentler. It’s a more sophisticated version of a kiss...It’s like theater, Stanislavski, and like Longhorns." Hudson was then asked about her kiss with Dane Cook she quickly replied, "No. Canceled."

"When we were kissing in the end of 'Fool's Gold,' we're like in the ocean, we had the plane crash. He just had snot all over his face."

Cohen pushed Field to give more details about what made it so bad, asking if it was "The tongue?" "No, we’re not totally involved [with the kiss], it was just a lot of drooling," she said.

The Dolphins had run 293 offensive snaps and not enjoyed an advantage at any point in any of them. But ... BREAKING: The Dolphins took a 7-0 lead on the New York Jets on Sunday. FALCONS QB TUA TAGOVAILOA BOOED BY DOLPHINS FANS AS MIAMI PAYS PRICE FOR FAILED RELATIONSHIP The Dolphins had been the only team in the Super Bowl era to fail to hold a lead through their first five losses of the season. As they say in Miami, no bueno. But the Dolphins took the opening kickoff on a sunny, cool day at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey and marched 76 yards in seven plays to take their first lead of the season on a 7 yard pass from quarterback Malik Willis to rookie receiver Caleb Douglas. Good for the Dolphins. It can be argued as improvement. FANS RIP BENGALS' JORDAN BATTLE FOR GIVING FREE SCOUTING REPORT ON MALIK WILLIS BEFORE DOLPHINS MATCHUP But in reality, this all suggests bad things about the Dolphins and the Jets in the macro sense, my friends. The Dolphins are vying to be the NFL's worst team. They traded or released multiple high-priced starters before the regular season to make the 2026 season something of a reset. They're not calling it a tank but it definitely is a strategic step back. Again. (The Dolphins did similar in 2019). So everyone understood this was going to be a rough season for the Dolphins. But this rough? Not offering fans even one moment of solace from the struggles of the year by letting them enjoy even one lead until Sunday? Anyway, this also says something about the Jets. AARON GLENN'S JETS BET ON GENO SMITH AND FRANK REICH TO ESCAPE AFC EAST BASEMENT IN 2026 They're not a ton better than the Dolphins. They entered Sunday's game with a disappointing 2-4 record and the only thing keeping them out of the cellar in the AFC East was, well, the Dolphins. And this is where we tell you the Jets tied the game on their first possession of the game to erase Miami's lead and feel-good moment. But guess what? The Dolphins responded immediately by retaking the lead on their next possession. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!

"I'm here. With you all," Machado wrote on social media, announcing her return for the first time since December. Her homecoming comes as Venezuela remains under the leadership of acting President Delcy Rodríguez, a longtime Maduro ally backed by the Trump administration, with no presidential election scheduled. President Donald Trump, asked about Machado's return by reporters in Port Huron, Michigan, said he was unaware of the development but expressed hope for her safety. TRUMP TOUTS ACCESS TO 65 BILLION BARRELS OF VENEZUELAN OIL IN DEAL HE SAYS WILL SLASH GAS PRICES "I don't know anything about it, but I think she's a very nice woman," Trump said. "She gave me her Nobel Prize. So how can I say anything else? And I hope she's safe. She's a very nice woman. But we're doing really well in Venezuela." Machado, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2025 for her peaceful opposition to Maduro's government, did not disclose her exact location or provide details about how she returned. Fellow opposition leader Edmundo González, who ran for president in 2024 after Machado was barred from seeking office, confirmed her arrival on social media and said he would join her "very soon." "Today is a very important day for Venezuelans. Our sovereign voice returns with her to lead and guide this process!" González wrote on X. "You know it, this is until the end." Machado's return comes nearly 10 months after U.S. forces captured Maduro in January, removing the longtime leader from power. Rodríguez, Maduro's former vice president, has remained in power with the Trump administration's support, despite exceeding the period she was initially authorized to serve as acting president. Trump has repeatedly praised his administration's relationship with Rodríguez, highlighting agreements involving Venezuelan oil production and other business ventures with American companies. NICOLAS MADURO AND WIFE CILIA FLORES FACE NEW CHARGES OF CONSPIRACY TO TORTURE AMERICANS In September, Trump said it was too soon to consider holding democratic elections in Venezuela, with U.S. officials prioritizing economic stabilization. Machado and her allies, meanwhile, have pushed for an election date, arguing that democratic governance is essential to the country's long-term stability. Her return could complicate relations between the Venezuelan opposition, the interim government and Washington. Reuters reported in June that U.S. officials had asked Machado to delay her return. Machado spent much of 2025 in hiding after being briefly detained following an opposition protest that January. She later secretly left Venezuela and resurfaced in Norway in December to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Meanwhile, a faction of the Venezuelan opposition and Rodríguez's government held another round of talks this month focused on reforms to the country's Supreme Court and electoral authorities ahead of eventual elections, Reuters reported. Machado's political movement has not participated in those negotiations. The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.

"I told Macron, when I first came in, I met him early. I said, 'You are destroying France. You're letting people come in that hate your country,'" Trump told Larry Kudlow. Trump criticized France for allowing people into the country who he said opposed French culture and national identity. He also pointed to unrest in Spain and Italy while arguing that his administration's border enforcement policies had prevented similar problems in the United States. "The people that are causing the problems are people that hate Spain and hate France and hate Italy," he said. "It's very interesting. Somebody said, ‘They hate their art, they hate the buildings, they hate everything about France. They hate the people. And they let them come in.’" Macron said on Thursday that his government would move to ban protests organized by "individuals or groups with no legitimate authority" as he blamed "ultra-left groups" for the riots and looting that had spread across his country. Trump's comments come after nearly 1,000 people were arrested in France on Saturday as nationwide protests resumed, according to French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez. Violence also erupted in Rome and the Albanian capital of Tirana, where protesters set government buildings ablaze. STATE DEPARTMENT SAYS TRUMP IS 'SPOT ON' WITH FRANCE PROTESTS AFTER MACRON DECRIES 'STUPID' COMMENTS The nationwide marches reflected growing dissatisfaction with the French government, as protesters took to the streets over a range of grievances. The protests began weeks earlier and were led by high school and university students who were frustrated with teacher shortages and poor school conditions. The movement gained momentum when major labor unions joined the demonstrations, expanding the movement to include opposition to government austerity measures and concerns about wages, pensions and the cost of living. PHOTOS SHOW AFTERMATH OF RIOTS AS MASKED GROUPS CLASH WITH POLICE ACROSS FRANCE Asked whether Americans should worry about similar unrest erupting in the United States, Trump pointed to his administration's border security measures. "I think I stopped it. I closed the border. You know that we've had zero infiltration. We've had 0 illegal aliens in the last 18 months. It's almost not believable," he said. The Department of Homeland Security reported a 95% drop in southwest border apprehensions compared to the Biden administration, along with the first fiscal year with zero Border Patrol releases. Fox News Digital reached out to Macron's office for comment but did not immediately hear back.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ade3ef9f04c506ce1bfe334 Who is Itamar Ben-Gvir, the Israeli firebrand rising with the populist right across the globe? te 2026-10-25T17:40:09.402Z Who is Itamar Ben-Gvir, the Israeli firebrand rising with the populist right across the globe? Polling ahead of Israel’s Oct. 27 election projects that National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s Otzma Yehudit Party will win between seven and ten seats in the 120-member Knesset, potentially making any future government led by Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud Party contingent on his support and positioning him to secure senior ministerial portfolios. His political rise mirrors a broader trend across Europe and the West, where parties such as Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella's National Rally in France, Geert Wilders’ Party for Freedom in the Netherlands, Australia's One Nation leader, Pauline Hanson, Italy’s Matteo Salvini and Germany's Alice Weidel of the AfD have all gained ground on traditional conservative political parties. The highly controversial Ben-Gvir, as national security minister, oversees the ministry responsible for internal security, including the Israel Police, Israel Prison Service and civilian firearms licensing. "I always say that Minister Ben-Gvir, if he were in America, he would just be called a Texan," Yishai Fleisher, international spokesman for the Jewish community of Hebron and a candidate ranked No. 12 on the Otzma Yehudit list, told Fox News Digital. NETANYAHU PRAISES TRUMP'S 'WICKED SENSE OF HUMOR,' DEFENDS IRONCLAD ALLIANCE AHEAD OF HISTORIC ISRAEL VOTE In a video interview with Fox News digital, Fleisher continued, "Meaning law and order, the death penalty for murderers, tough conditions for jihadists in our prisons and gun rights for the average Jewish person to be able to defend themselves in our national state. That’s what Itamar Ben-Gvir stands for," he added. Fleisher said that mass immigration had fueled Islamist extremism and unrest in parts of Europe, saying Israelis want to avoid similar developments. "There is a jihadist takeover that has come in through immigration, and now the streets of Paris are burning, and the people of Belgium and the U.K. want their countries back," Fleisher said. "In Israel, we don’t want to see Tel Aviv burning," prompting politicians to embrace what are known in the United States as "law-and-order" and "tough-on-crime" candidates. FORMER IDF CHIEF GADI EISENKOT EMERGES AS NETANYAHU’S LEADING ELECTION CHALLENGER Former Israeli Ambassador to Washington Danny Ayalon said that Ben-Gvir had missed an opportunity to change course despite his lack of military service and past conviction, arguing that his tenure had instead had a damaging impact, including on Israel’s diplomatic standing. "Ben-Gvir spoke in a way that turned the entire world against Israel, portraying it as a racist country by making statements that made Israel a pariah state," Ayalon said. Fleisher praised Ben-Gvir, who he said has cracked down on protection rackets in southern Israel and made significant progress toward what he described as greater equality for Jews on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Judaism’s holiest site. "Minister Ben-Gvir was an activist from a very young age. He saw the dangers and evils of the Oslo process with the Palestinians and tried to stop it. He was arrested and stopped many times because of that, and he faced the court many times. It was then-Chief Justice Aharon Barak who once told him, ‘Why don’t you go study to be a lawyer?’" Fleisher sai Ben-Gvir, who studied law, became active in public and political affairs and was first elected to the Knesset in 2021. Following the 2022 elections, he was appointed minister of national security by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. His many critics have taken issue with his firebrand style and what many view as a lack of political correctness.  Ambassador Ayalon, a former deputy defense minister, told Fox News Digital that he also viewed Ben-Gvir’s performance as national security minister negatively. EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT VOTES TO CONFRONT MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, 'ISLAMIST ENTRYISM' IN OVERWHELMING VOTE "During his tenure, Israel has become less secure internally because crime is rising. Many young people believed in the last election that he would bring governability and authority to areas such as the Negev and the Galilee, on the outskirts of the country, where there is almost no law," Ayalon said. In 2007, Ben-Gvir was convicted of supporting a terrorist organization and inciting racism. His campaign told Fox News Digital that the conviction stemmed from displaying a sticker of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane, whose Kach party was outlawed in 1994, and reflected his support for a Jewish nationalist movement. "As a young man, Minister Ben-Gvir was an intense Jewish nationalist. He has said many times, publicly, that he has matured since then and moved on from those positions." ABBAS DELAYS PALESTINIAN ELECTIONS AGAIN, MAKING MORE THAN TWO DECADES WITHOUT VOTE Recent posts on Ben-Gvir’s social media accounts, along with statements issued through Netanyahu’s and Likud’s official channels, have raised questions about whether the two remain fully aligned. On Oct. 15, Ben-Gvir shared a Hebrew-language media report quoting Netanyahu as saying that he would not serve again as national security minister. In response, Ben-Gvir wrote: "Dear Prime Minister, only the people will decide. Ben Gvir is strong, Israel is strong!" TRUMP SAYS NETANYAHU NEEDS TO BE RE-ELECTED, OR ELSE US WILL HAVE TO 'FINISH THE JOB’ AGAINST IRAN ALONE Last Wednesday, Netanyahu's Likud party appeared to reverse course, posting a message on its official WhatsApp channel stating: "Ben-Gvir is a senior minister in our government, and he will remain so in the next government — provided that the bloc consisting of the Left and Arab parties does not win." Despite the public statements, Ayalon said Netanyahu could opt not to include Ben-Gvir in the next government, even if it meant forming an alliance with opposition parties such as Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar. "Netanyahu is brilliant. He kept Ben-Gvir because it suited him. If he could, he would get rid of him in a minute. Bibi is capable of changing his mind on a dime," Ayalon said. Fleisher credited Ben-Gvir with tripling the number of personal firearms and firearms licenses issued to Israelis over four years, establishing 1,000 rapid-response teams, overhauling the prison system and demolishing 9,000 illegally built homes, particularly in the Negev. In March, the Knesset approved a death-penalty law sponsored by Otzma Yehudit and other lawmakers, a measure Ben-Gvir has strongly championed. "No more hotel-like conditions in our prisons. You’ll know you are being punished for your crime, and these simple policies ultimately deter jihadism," Fleisher told Fox News Digital. "They understand that he represents a full-throated pushback against the jihadist takeover of our land. Ben-Gvir also represents a strong Jewish identity, strong policies and strong laws to ensure that we don’t lose control of our country," he said. The latest polls show Netanyahu’s bloc slightly behind the opposition, led by Yashar party chief Gadi Eisenkot, but neither side has a clear path to the 61 seats needed for a governing majority.

"In the last few days, we've received thousands of tips through this new tip line. This is a novel approach, a novel approach to try new things to combat the fraudsters," he said, adding that fraudsters were "constantly evolving" new tactics while the federal government just did "the same old thing" until now. HOUSE GOP BILL MOVES TO CLOSE WHISTLEBLOWER GAPS EXPOSED BY MINNESOTA MEDICAID FRAUD SCANDAL "We are going to do new things, and this whistleblower program is an example of that, where folks can get upfront payment when there is an arrest and not have to wait to the very end of a case, which is what every other whistleblower program in history has done," he added. President Donald Trump announced the Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program on Tuesday and said qualifying tipsters would receive a 1% commission, subject to applicable laws and rules.  McDonald, the administration's "fraud czar," praised the new approach. Under the new program, submitting an allegation alone would not qualify someone for a reward. The tip must lead to a successful fraud conviction or significant federal enforcement action, according to a White House official. The new whistleblower initiative comes as the administration expands its efforts to combat fraud involving federal benefit programs, including a recent 50-day enforcement surge targeting the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The effort uncovered approximately $40 million in alleged SNAP fraud involving more than 40 suspects. DHS LAUNCHES NATIONWIDE ICE OPERATION TARGETING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ACCUSED OF SNAP FOOD STAMP FRAUD McDonald acknowledged that recovering stolen taxpayer money after it has been spent can be difficult, but said the Justice Department is building an "asset recovery team of specialists" to track down fraud proceeds and pursue forfeiture of property purchased with stolen funds. "We are bringing new tools to the fight against fraud so that the fraudsters are not the only ones learning," McDonald said. "We are learning too, and we're equipped with the full toolbox to confront them."

Aside from paper and plastic debris, the Yellowstone Geology Program retrieved roughly 10,700 rocks and sticks, more than 360 hats and plenty of camera lens caps, hair ties and pacifiers, National Geographic reported. Other quirky finds included five AirPods, three Delta flight pins and a singular Uno card, as well as dental retainers and rubber ducks. MASSIVE BISON RAMS PICKUP TRUCK IN YELLOWSTONE AFTER DRIVER TRIES TO AVOID COLLISION It has been a record-setting year for trash collection, which is managed by the park’s geology team. The team is trained in safe hydrothermal navigation practices, according to the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. In 2025, Yellowstone welcomed over 4.7 million visitors, according to the National Park Service. With such a large volume of people coming into the park, debris builds up, especially in high-traffic areas like Old Faithful and the Midway Geyser Basin.

"We believe that most of those are accidental," Margery Price, a physical science technician with the Yellowstone National Park Geology Program, told National Geographic. Any type of foreign material can harm a hydrothermal feature, either by clogging the water supply, polluting the water or blocking its runoff channel, according to the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. Even natural materials like rocks and sticks still need to be removed, as they can cause clogging. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE NEWS Trash can also change the chemistry of the springs. Chemicals from microplastics can enter the water and affect the microbes that live in the pools and provide them with their distinctive hues. Morning Glory Pool, named after the blue flower, changed color in the 20th century due to trash and various foreign items being tossed in by park visitors. Staff even called the pool the "garbage can" beginning in the 1950s, according to the observatory.

Aranda was in the midst of his seventh season in charge of the Bears after taking over the head coaching gig in Waco, Texas, ahead of the 2020 season. After going 2-7 in his first season, one plagued by COVID, he led Baylor to a 12-2 campaign in 2021 that included a Sugar Bowl victory over a 10-win Ole Miss team. Baylor finished as the No. 5 team in the country in the final AP Top 25 Poll that season. Baylor officially announced the news of Aranda's departure on Sunday afternoon. MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS: ARCH MANNING LIKES THE DISRESPECT, BIG 12'S DISASTER AND A CFP RACE IN DISARRAY "Anyone who knows Dave Aranda understands what a genuine and honorable person he is and how much he deeply cares for his players, staff and this University," Baylor Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, Doug McNamee, wrote in a statement. "He is a gifted coach and a brilliant football mind whose leadership brought some of our best Baylor football memories. While this is a difficult moment, we believe a change in leadership is necessary at this time for our program. We will forever be thankful to Dave and his family for their time here at Baylor, and we wish them well." CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE While it's safe to say Aranda would have liked to have kept his job, in today's college football, the majority of coaches who are fired are subject to a hefty buyout, and that appears to be the case for the 50-year-old. Aranda inked a contract extension in 2022 that ran through the end of the 2029 season. Now, his firing triggers a buyout package of around $12 million, according to Yahoo's Ross Dellenger. It literally pays to be fired as the head coach in college football, especially at a Power Four program such as Baylor. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE.

Baylor began the 2026 campaign with a 17-16 loss to Auburn in Atlanta before rattling off four straight wins, but after consecutive losses to TCU at home and Kansas on the road, the Bears' administration appears to have seen enough. Baylor's three losses this season have come by a combined 13 points. Baylor defensive coordinator Joe Klanderman will be taking over as interim coach at Baylor. Aranda is now the third Power Four coach to be fired during the current college football season. Maryland fired head coach Mike Locksley earlier in the week, while NC State parted ways with Dave Doeren following the Wolfpack's loss to Stanford on October 23. Aranda finishes his time at Baylor with a 40-40 overall record as head coach.

The actress was recently photographed while spending some time in the Hamptons last Friday, just weeks after turning 91. In the photos, the "Sound of Music" star is seen in a purple raincoat and white baseball cap, which she paired with pink sunglasses, as she was being helped out of a car by an unknown woman. A source recently told The Daily Mail that the actress prefers to stay at her home in Sag Harbor and tend to her garden.

Her outing comes just a few months after she spoke to The Hollywood Reporter that she is taking a step back from on-camera work and that she wouldn't be returning for the highly-anticipated third installment of "Princess Diaries." She explained that while she still finds it "lovely to be working on things," she doesn't see herself taking any opportunities to put her in front of a camera. "I think the absolute truth is that I think I’m really past all that now," Andrews said. "I’m not completely retired, but it’s a different kind of work that I do these days — [writing] books, and I do a lot of recording of podcasts and voiceovers.

"I think the story is slightly different, and I’m not quite sure how they’re dealing with that," Andrews told Today in August. "But it’s too late for me to do it.

For the singer and actress, the physical toll manifested in her vocal cords. But medical professionals emphasize that her experience is only a visible symptom of a deeper health crisis affecting millions of Americans who use e-cigarettes every day. While often marketed as a safer alternative to conventional cigarettes, e-cigarettes pose significant health risks. Aside from the immediate vocal strain and airway inflammation noted by otolaryngologists, major health institutions warn that regular vaping exposes the body to a cocktail of toxic chemicals, cardiovascular strain and respiratory risks. SELENA GOMEZ WARNS FANS AFTER VAPING HABIT LEAVES HER WITH PERMANENT CONSEQUENCE Specialists emphasize that e-cigarettes deliver more concentrated doses of nicotine than traditional cigarettes, rapidly driving chemical dependency in the brain. "With e-cigarettes and vaping, you can get a very high dose of nicotine, and that directly correlates to addiction and how difficult it can be to break these patterns," Trent Carter, a nurse practitioner and CEO of Renew Health in New Mexico, previously told Fox News Digital. Carter notes that high nicotine intake without traditional smoke can carry its own health consequences. "It can lead to sleep disturbances, increased anxiety, and if you have underlying cardiac problems or high blood pressure, it’s going to raise your heart rate and elevate your blood pressure, leading to all sorts of issues." According to the American Lung Association, the aerosol produced by e-cigarettes contains fine chemical particles, heavy metals such as nickel and lead, and organic compounds. Over time, inhaling these irritants can trigger chronic airway inflammation, irreversible lung tissue scarring, and obstructive pulmonary conditions. NEVER SMOKED A CIGARETTE? YOU COULD STILL BE AT HIGHER RISK FOR LUNG CANCER A major concern among physicians is the chemical composition of e-liquids. Even nicotine-free formulas contain flavorings and solvent agents like propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin. When heated by the device’s coil, these liquids break down into toxic compounds, including formaldehyde and acrolein, both known to damage cellular structures in the respiratory system. Doctors stress that because modern e-cigarettes have only been widely used for a little over a decade, long-term health consequences are still unclear. While immediate effects may appear as hoarseness, coughing, or reduced athletic endurance, the larger impact poses risks to long-term vital organ function. For many attempting to quit vaping, traditional tools like nicotine patches or gum can fall short because they don't address the psychological habit. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ "While a patch or gum can help with physical cravings, if you aren't addressing the behavioral aspect, you're missing a huge component," Carter said. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER "Vaping can become constant throughout the day. Subconsciously, you might not even realize how frequently you're doing it, or that you're using it to cope with underlying anxiety or lack of sleep." CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES For those inspired by Gomez, health professionals urge people to seek comprehensive support rather than simply switch nicotine delivery methods. "The goal shouldn't be to find another way to consume nicotine, it should be to treat the dependence itself," said Carter.

Chokachi, 58, wanted to "make a statement" when he returned to the "Baywatch" set nearly 30 years after he first appeared on-screen as beloved lifeguard Cody Madison. After climbing out of a dark place following an arduous recovery process due to Achilles tendon ruptures, Chokachi said that he "found a higher operating system" within, and became hyper-focused on optimizing his brain chemistry to benefit both mental and physical health. 'BAYWATCH' STAR BRANDY LEDFORD SHARES FITNESS SECRETS AT 57, SAYS SHE'S 'NOT READY TO HANG UP MY BIKINI YET' "I'm up at 3.30 in the morning every day and ready to go. My body's like, 'It's time to go,' and everybody thinks I'm insane, but it's my dream window of time, I love it," Chokachi told Fox News Digital. He cited neuroscientist Andrew Huberman's approach to health as an influence on his own routine and noted that former Navy SEAL DJ Shipley also helped shape his mindset. WATCH: 'BAYWATCH' STAR DAVID CHOKACHI CREDITS EARLY-MORNINGS, TWO-A-DAY WORKOUTS FOR PEAK FITNESS Shipley "found this program of stacking micro wins, which are the little things you do, but you do them every day, and you recognize them, like, 'OK, that was a win,'" Chokachi said. SYLVESTER STALLONE REVEALS SURPRISING HEALTH STRUGGLE BEHIND HIS FAMOUSLY RIPPED PHYSIQUE "The easiest win you can do in a day is get up early, like, really early – I mean it doesn't have to be 3:30, but if you're getting up before other people are, and you're being productive, subconsciously you start to — your brain starts going, your body starts going, 'I am a badass,' you know? And it works, I'm telling you," Chokachi said. In the pursuit of personal challenges, Chokachi doubled down with prepping to be on-screen once again playing a role that made him a global superstar. "With 'Baywatch,' I realized, on the original, the more fit I was, the more stories they'd write for me, the more episodes I'd be in ... not that money is everything, but you want your character to take off," he said. "I've always been into fitness because I grew up playing sports my whole life. "So I did the same thing on this, but I like doubled down because I was the original coming into this new cast and I wanted to make a statement and I made a statement." CARMEN ELECTRA SAYS 'BAYWATCH' PUSHED BOUNDARIES WITHOUT CROSSING THE LINE: 'IT WASN'T PORN' Chokachi said he trained twice a day for six months before stepping on set. "And I showed up on set and when it was time to take my shirt off ... we were shooting a rescue and people were just like, 'Oh my God. Dude, what have you ... how old are you?'" he recalled. "They just, they can't believe it." LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS "I have an ice plunge and a sauna, and that's usually how I start my day," Chokachi said. "That alone burns a lot of ... brown fat, which is the fat we want to get rid of at the fastest rate by being cold, and ice plunge is really good ... it's a positive stressor on your brain." He added, "So I do that routine, and by the time I've already done that, I'm like, I'm off to the races, like, and I just go." According to the National Institutes of Health, brown fat actually helps the body generate heat by burning calories when exposed to cold temperatures, though research has not established cold plunges as an effective weight-loss method. "Baywatch" first aired in 1989 and ran for a decade before its last episode in 1999, followed by two seasons of "Baywatch: Hawaii." The show became the most widely viewed TV series in the world, with an estimated weekly audience of more than 1.1 billion viewers across 142 countries in 1996, according to Guinness World Records. While Chokachi may have felt he was at his physical peak back then, he said he's "way more fit" now than ever before.

And now I live like ... I don't go out, I don't party ... I'm not obsessed about diet, but I don't drink or do anything." He added, "I'm not that diligent, but I do do everything in a day that has gotten me to where I'm at now. And the crazy thing is, it not only helped my fitness level, I feel like I'm doing the best work as an actor I've ever done in 30 years of being an actor, which is wild." Chokachi's next personal challenge will be at the 3rd annual Malibu Moves race, where he plans to complete a 5k carrying a 45-pound weighted backpack, an activity known as "rucking." The effort will also serve as a qualifying test for his local community fire brigade. "It's an awesome day," Chokachi said of the local event held at Zuma Beach. "I've never lived in a place where there's such a real presence of community like Malibu, and, the people ... they go out of their way to help each other. I love being of service."

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ade2c36f04c506ce1bfdf8f Trump immigration win could strengthen admin's hand in looming Supreme Court fight te 2026-10-25T16:20:06.597Z Trump immigration win could strengthen admin's hand in looming Supreme Court fight The Trump administration scored a major full-panel victory at the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Friday, which ruled that detained illegal immigrants who were never formally admitted into the U. S. are not constitutionally entitled to bond hearings while awaiting deportation. The ruling comes as the Supreme Court prepares to hear Rhoney v. Barbosa da Cunha this term, a closely related fight over whether the federal mandatory-detention statute applies at all to longtime immigrants arrested inside the country — setting up the possibility that the justices could either undercut Friday’s ruling or strengthen the government's hand. The Fifth Circuit answered the constitutional question in Ignacio Sosnava Rodriguez v. Sylvester M. Ortega, finding that three immigrant men detained under the mandatory-detention statute are not entitled to bond hearings under the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment. The court held that their years or even decades of residence in the United States, along with ties to the country and their communities, do not create a constitutional right to a bond hearing. "The Constitution does not entitle them to a bond hearing," the court wrote. FEDERAL APPEALS COURT COMPARES TRUMP MIGRANT DETENTION POLICY TO JAPANESE AMERICAN INTERNMENT Meanwhile, the Supreme Court will consider Rhoney, a case out of the Second Circuit, to determine whether the mandatory-detention law applies to longtime immigrants arrested inside the country in the first place. At the center of the issue is a 9-2 circuit split over which federal detention law applies to immigrants who entered the country illegally, were never formally admitted and were later arrested by immigration authorities after living in the U.S. for years — sometimes decades after crossing the border. The Fifth and Eighth Circuits have held that those immigrants remain "applicants for admission" under Section 1225 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, subjecting them to mandatory detention without an ordinary bond hearing while their removal proceedings play out. Nine other federal appeals courts have ruled that Section 1226 applies instead, which provides a path for them to seek release on bond. The Supreme Court will essentially decide whether immigrants who entered illegally and have lived in the U.S. for years can be subjected to the same mandatory-detention provision that applies to certain immigrants seeking admission into the country. If the Supreme Court sides with the Second Circuit, Barbosa da Cunha — a Brazilian national who entered the country illegally roughly two decades ago and was detained in 2025 — would have a path to seek release on bond. Such a ruling would likely apply to the three longtime immigrants at the center of Rodriguez as well, substantially undercutting the significance of Friday’s ruling by eliminating the need to answer the constitutional question of whether due process requires a bond hearing. SUPREME COURT TAKES UP FIGHT OVER TRUMP’S THIRD-COUNTRY ILLEGAL ALIEN DEPORTATION POLICY Judge Leslie Southwick pointed directly to the looming Supreme Court fight in her dissent. Should the Supreme Court eventually determine that this court was wrong as to the statute, then the constitutional issue we address here will have far less significance. It certainly has significance at the moment," Southwick wrote. But conservative legal experts say Rodriguez could also strengthen the administration’s hand in Rhoney by undercutting one argument against the government’s interpretation of Section 1225: that applying the mandatory-detention provision to longtime residents would raise serious constitutional concerns. Michael Morley, a constitutional law professor at Florida State University, said Friday’s ruling could influence how the justices approach that question because courts often consider whether a particular reading of federal law would create constitutional problems. FEDERAL APPEALS COURT DEALS BLOW TO TRUMP DEPORTATION AGENDA "The Fifth Circuit’s en banc ruling in Rodriguez today takes the next step by holding that such detention would not violate the U.S. Constitution’s Due Process Clause," Morley said. "This holding may impact the Supreme Court’s reasoning, because an important consideration in disputes over federal laws is whether a particular interpretation would be unconstitutional." "If the Court agrees with the Fifth Circuit’s analysis that the Due Process Clause allows such detention, it may be more likely to conclude that federal law permits it, as well, Morley continued. Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow at Advancing American Freedom, argued that the decision could bolster the administration as the justices prepare to resolve the circuit split. "I actually think this ruling will help the government in the Rhoney case," von Spakovsky said, pointing to the Fifth Circuit’s position that the applicable immigration statute does not require bond hearings for immigrants who were never admitted to the United States. SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER "There was already a split in the circuit courts on this issue but the Fifth Circuit has consistently held that the applicable immigration statute does not require bond hearings for aliens who were never admitted to the United States," he said. "I will be surprised if a majority of the Supreme Court disagrees when they ultimately issue a decision in the Rhoney case." The Supreme Court has not yet scheduled oral arguments in Rhoney, which it agreed to hear earlier this month.

When you dress to impress, the people take notice. It’s also why Aaron Rodgers and some of his Pittsburgh Steelers teammates left their fans a little befuddled with their pregame outfits on Sunday. Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, Will Howard, Drew Allar and quarterbacks coach Tom Arth dressed in stylish suits and caps as they made their way into Stade de France outside Paris. However, they looked like they took a page out of "Peaky Blinders" more than anything. The Steelers essentially confirmed the idea with a post on X. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! "By order of the Peaky Blinders," the team wrote. "Peaky Blinders" is famously a British historical crime drama featuring Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy and others. It takes place in Birmingham, England, and follows the gang navigating through the world after World War I. For what it’s worth, Murphy’s character – Tommy Shelby – served in WWI in France. But that might be the only real connection the show has to France. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE The Steelers’ fashion sense may have been a little off and NFL fans took exception. Still, the Steelers were looking to take home a victory in Paris against the New Orleans Saints. The NFL trudged on with the game despite concerns about the civil unrest raging at points in France and elsewhere across Europe. Kickoff occurred at 9:30 a.m. ET without any issues. Pittsburgh took a 13-10 lead into the half.

"The NFL and NFL Players Association are working together to review the matter," a joint statement from the league and players union said. That was expected and, indeed, demanded by the union last week after the Philadelphia Eagles placed Hurts on injured reserve and announced he is under a blood thinner regimen to address a deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli. NFL'S TOP DOCTOR DEFENDS PHILADELPHIA EAGLES HANDLING OF JALEN HURTS BLOOD CLOTS Hurts cannot play until again until the clots are treated and he is off the blood thinners. That is expected to put him out the entire rest of the regular season and possibly longer. The Eagles have been generally mute about the events that led to their announcement about Hurts on Oct. 19. Coach Nick Sirianni took questions on the issue but provided no detailed answers about the issue beyond saying he is not a doctor. FORMER NFL TEAM DOCTOR ADDRESSES JALEN HURTS' BLOOD CLOT AS QB'S SEASON HINGES ON ONE KEY WORD The Eagles have not made their team medical staff nor general manager Howie Roseman available to answer questions about the matter. Despite this, the NFL put on a full-throated defense of the Eagles conduct in the matter that included league chief medical officer Dr. Allen Sills saying he has "complete confidence in the Eagles medical staff and their handling of this situation." The NFLPA was dubious of that confidence and exercised its right under the Collective Bargaining Agreement to have the situation investigated. "Well, we welcome that," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said. "That's part of our process and that's fine. Our chief medical officer has been through the protocols that were followed. So, we welcome that and if that's what they did, they have that right." So what questions will the investigation ask? That is not being released before the investigation, but some of the questions are obvious. Among them ... 'I LOST US THAT GAME': NICK SIRIANNI MAKES DECISION THAT OPENED DOOR TO A JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS COMEBACK WIN Goodell last week was skeptical the trip to and from London played a role in the entire matter. "I'm not sure how much international travel had to do with this in that context," Goodell said. "That's for maybe the medical professionals to tell us if that had any impact. I haven't heard that to date." ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! The NFL and the NFLPA's stance throughout the entire saga has been ultimately caring for Hurts. "Obviously, there was a medical evaluation," Goodell said. "And I think our protocols were incredibly good there. The most important thing here is Jalen's health, ultimately, and the future of a wonderful young man and just a great player. "He's someone we all care deeply about. I'm more worried about his health ultimately but the protocols were followed. Our process is to make sure that's the case and our chief medical officer has gone through that so we're comfortable with what we see the protocols that happened."

The unrest began in France in mid-September with student demonstrations over school conditions, then spread to other countries, where protests have centered on local grievances. President Donald Trump has used the unrest to press his hard-line immigration message, blaming France’s protests on immigration and urging the country to close its borders. PHOTOS SHOW AFTERMATH OF RIOTS AS MASKED GROUPS CLASH WITH POLICE ACROSS FRANCE French President Emmanuel Macron pushed back, calling foreign leaders' comments "unacceptable and even stupid" and accusing them of exploiting France’s crisis for political gain. Here’s how leaders across Europe are responding. Macron has vowed that those who loot or destroy property will be held accountable and made to pay for the damage. French authorities deployed 70,000 police officers nationwide Saturday as demonstrations took place in Paris and other cities. Some clashes broke out in several cities, including Paris, Lyon, Lille, Toulouse and Nantes. Police used tear gas, sound grenades and water cannons, and the Interior Ministry reported more than 1,300 arrests. VIOLENCE ERUPTS AT FRANCE PROTESTS AS MACRON WARNS UNREST IS BEING EXPLOITED Most union-organized marches were peaceful, though clashes broke out later in Paris and several other cities. Separately, a French intelligence assessment reportedly identified Antifa and other far-left groups as instigators of some of the violence, according to a French outlet. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni condemned what she called "gangs of thugs" who used demonstrations to "sow chaos," and voiced support for police facing violence in several Italian cities. Meloni moved quickly after the previous weekend’s looting and clashes, sending 500 additional soldiers to Milan and approving tougher penalties for minors involved in vandalism. She said destroying and stealing was a crime and that the state's response would be firm. The measures put Meloni among the European leaders taking the most visible steps to deter further violence. While Greece has seen less unrest than France and other European countries, officials have been monitoring the risk of clashes as student and teacher demonstrations spread. Government spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis said the right to protest must be respected as long as demonstrations remain lawful, while condemning violence, looting and occupations. Police still kept a visible presence at demonstrations earlier in the week, which largely passed without major violence. Belgium's demonstrations began over education reforms and budget cuts, with young protesters taking to the streets in Brussels and Liège. Earlier clashes injured police, damaged public areas and blocked roads. Nearly 200 people were arrested, according to Belgian officials. Interior Minister Bernard Quintin accused far-left activists, including people linked to Antifa, of infiltrating demonstrations and encouraging young people to commit violence. In Albania’s capital, Tirana, student-led protests have grown into a broader challenge to Prime Minister Edi Rama, with demonstrators demanding his resignation and accusing his government of corruption and neglecting schools and public services. US LAWMAKERS SOUND ALARM AS VIOLENCE GRIPS NATO ALLY ALBANIA AMID ANTI-GOVERNMENT PROTESTS Police used tear gas and water cannons as more than 2,500 officers were deployed. Rama placed chairs outside his government headquarters and invited protesters to talk, but they rejected the gesture. He said his government would address their concerns and warned that people responsible for violence could face criminal and financial consequences. In Spain, the unrest was largely concentrated in Barcelona, unlike France, where protests and clashes spread across multiple cities. Police arrested 128 people in Barcelona after fires, vandalism and looting. Catalonia, the northeastern Spanish region that includes Barcelona, saw its regional president, Salvador Illa, condemn the violence and back the police response. Meanwhile, Barcelona Mayor Jaume Collboni said the city would take legal action against those responsible and warned that parents or guardians could face consequences for damage caused by their children.

The Chiefs spent a first-round pick on Simmons in the 2025 draft. The offensive lineman out of Ohio State was looked at as a critical piece to protect Patrick Mahomes. However, he only played eight games in 2025 and has yet to see the field in 2026. He may not see the field at all this season after being placed on the injured reserve earlier in the week. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Questions about Simmons’ absence have largely been unanswered. Earlier in the week, the team said the 23-year-old NFL player had been dealing with a bulging disc in his back. He had previously been listed on the team’s injury report as being a non-participant due to a "back/non-injury personal reasons." Simmons’ absence had previously been described as "mysterious" at best. A new report on Sunday only fueled more questions about Simmons’ status with the team. Simmons had a meeting with Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid and was told to leave during it, ESPN and NFL Network reported. Simmons later apologized for his antics. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE The second-year player reportedly put his feet up in a team meeting room while talking with Reid. When the coach told him to put his feet down, the report said Simmons told Reid he needed to keep his feet up on the desk to help with his back. Reid told Simmons to seek treatment from the team’s athletic trainers and as the back-and-forth continued, Mahomes echoed Reid’s desire for Simmons to seek treatment. Simmons was placed on the IR on Thursday. If he’s able, Simmons can return during Week 11. Simmons’ future was largely clouded even before the report dropped on Sunday. As OutKick has noted, Simmons faced questions about his "character" before the 2025 draft. He was coming off a patellar tendon injury before the event, which also raised questions. Now, the man who was thought to have been Mahomes’ protector for the remainder of the quarterback’s career may completely be out, forcing the team back to the drawing board. Kahlil Benson is next to step up in the left tackle position. Benson has played in all five games for the Chiefs this season so far.

They couldn’t get them. Now those materials have been brought to light in a congressional investigation. A new majority staff report from the House Education and Workforce Committee documents how a small group of school personnel turned Philadelphia’s social studies curriculum into a political platform for extremist causes. When those parents approached my organization, the North American Values Institute (NAVI), asking for help, we tried to find out what the district was teaching but we also hit a wall. Eventually, a teacher shared the curriculum with us with considerable trepidation. She asked that we protect her anonymity. EXCLUSIVE: HOUSE COMMITTEE PROBES CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS OVER HIDING 'GENDER AFFIRMATION' FROM PARENTS That alone should give us pause: A teacher feared sharing public school instructional materials with people seeking to understand what children were learning. Parents should never have needed an insider, an advocacy organization and congressional investigators to get this kind of access into what their children were learning. But because some school officials know that what they brought into the classroom would be considered out of bounds by many parents, they did everything they can to hide it. WATCHDOG GROUP WARNS PITTSBURGH HIGH SCHOOL COURSE RECRUITS STUDENTS INTO POLITICAL ACTIVISM According to the congressional report, a world history assignment asked students to honor a resistance movement. Among the options was the Great March of Return, a campaign of demonstrations along the Gaza-Israel border that the terrorist organization Hamas supported and that engaged in violent confrontation. Another exercise asked students to identify the United States and Israel as terrorist states. Students should study various political movements, including those that use violence. They should examine competing perspectives of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and hear multiple views about American foreign policy. But asking students to "honor" a particular movement crosses the line from studying it to celebrating it and, in this case, encouraging students to identify with a violent terrorist organization. FEDS OPEN PROBE INTO NEW YORK CITY'S ANTI-ISRAEL TEACHERS Philadelphia superintendent Tony Watlington maintained that the curriculum did not indoctrinate students. Yet he told investigators he was unaware that it included materials from the Racial Justice Organizing Committee, a highly ideological group led by district employees. The district told investigators it would stop having district teachers and administrators write social studies curricula and would standardize instruction with help from national experts. The school district also said that it placed its social studies curriculum director, Ismael Jimenez, who celebrated the Oct. 7 massacres, in termination proceedings. This is an important first step. But replacing personnel with qualified experts will accomplish little in the long run if the curriculum remains shielded from public view. Without access, curriculum disputes become contests of credibility. Administrators assure parents that lessons are balanced. Critics share an alarming passage from a single assignment that a child brought home from school. Officials say such claims have been taken out of context. DOJ LAWSUIT TARGETS ALLEGED SCHOOL ‘SECRET GENDER TRANSITIONS’ POLICIES THAT KEEP PARENTS IN THE DARK Schools could avoid such disputes if they let parents read the assignment, the accompanying sources and the teacher’s instructions. An institution confident in its educational judgment should be able to explain its choices with the classroom materials in full view. School districts should publish curriculum guides, reading lists, assignments and supplementary resources on searchable websites. They should identify the outside organizations providing content and the officials responsible for approving it. When materials change, the public should be able to see what changed. The same standard should apply to professional development. Some teacher training instructs teachers to use controversial subjects to recruit students to a cause. Families deserve to know what their schools are encouraging teachers to teach their children. Most of these materials already exist electronically. Districts can make them accessible without requiring schools to produce elaborate new reports. SPLC PUSHED ITS WAY INTO K-12 SCHOOLS AND IS MORE OF A THREAT THAN YOU REALIZE Access will, of course, produce disagreements, which is a feature of public accountability. School boards can hear objections, weigh the evidence and defend sound instructional choices. Publishing a school system’s budget does not give every taxpayer veto power over spending and neither should publishing a curriculum give every parent a say over teaching. It does, however, make informed oversight possible. Philadelphia’s experience shows the cost of leaving families dependent on assurances they cannot verify. Congress can only investigate a few districts. Parents and school boards need the means to scrutinize their own schools every day. A teacher should not have to take a personal risk to provide it, and parents should not have to enlist Congress to secure it.

"You know, it’s complicated," Foster said when asked about Brody's comments on the "Not Skinny But Not Fat" podcast. "I think our work environment, our set is very similar to dinner tables around the world where people are having debate and discussion and disagreeing." "While I love Adam, I also disagree with him and that's OK. I think that as the creator of the show, all I can say is that I want our Jewish fans to know that I see you and I hear you and I understand how you feel," Foster said. The full episode of the podcast interview with Foster is set to air on Oct. 27. Brody accused Israel of "genocide" during a September interview with GQ and said he supported a "free Palestine." WEAPONIZING THE CHARGE OF GENOCIDE FUELS AN INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS ANTISEMITISM Foster said the show has always been a love letter to Judaism. "That is why I made this show. It's because of how beautiful of an experience I've had becoming Jewish and being a Jewish person and sitting here right now at this time in the world where there is almost zero positive representation of Jewish people. I think it's so important to have that and that is what this show is intended to be," she said. The "Nobody Wants This" creator also said that people can have their own opinions. "And that being said, everyone is entitled to a different opinion than me. I can just tell you what I created this show for and what the intention of the show is," Foster added. DEBRA MESSING OPENS UP ON ANTISEMITISM, OCTOBER 7 AND BACKLASH OVER PRO-ISRAEL STANCE Fox News Digital has reached out to Brody's team for comment. Mor Greenberg, founder of MorMedia Group, a public relations and strategic communications firm that works with numerous Jewish nonprofits, pro-Israel organizations and advocacy groups, told Fox News Digital in a statement, "It's disappointing to finally see a mainstream television show celebrating Jewish identity, only to have its leading actor make headlines for comments that are deeply upsetting to many in the Jewish community." Greenberg said there was enormous pressure in Hollywood to take a "fashionable position" on Israel, but "very little room for anyone who dares to defend it." She said while Brody is entitled to his political views, "playing a rabbi on television doesn't make him a spokesperson for the Jewish community." "That's why I appreciate Erin Foster's response. She understands that Jewish identity is bigger than Hollywood politics, and she isn't afraid to stand behind the Jewish story she created. At a time when positive Jewish representation is so desperately needed, that matters," Greenberg continued. BILL MAHER RIPS MACKLEMORE'S GAZA STANCE, SAYS CELEBRITY 'MORAL CONFUSION' IS FUELING ANTISEMITISM "Put me down as thinking it's a genocide. Put me down as wanting a free Palestine," Brody said during the GQ interview. "It's awful that it's taken so much death and misery, but it does feel like it's reaching a breaking point that it should have a while ago. I'm hopeful that another administration can really do some good and correct some of these policies that are helping that situation be as awful as it is."  Though several celebrities have spoken out against Israel's actions, Brody suggested that political activism in Hollywood has decreased, noting that he doesn't speak about political issues in many interviews. "I think it's the cycle. The first time [President] Trump was elected, it was inconceivable. It woke everyone," he said. "There was so much activism. People were running for office that had never ran before. It was so awful to watch him defile our government, our country, our reputation, and really pit people against each other. I felt like most of the country right away was really against it."

The safety overhaul comes less than two weeks after 42-year-old Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem was ejected from the Goliath roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia. Eight other Six Flags coasters with similar restraint systems remain closed across the U.S. and Canada as investigators work to determine what went wrong. Witnesses said they saw Kariem rise out of his seat and fall headfirst back into the cart before being ejected from the ride on Oct. 12. Some passengers who rode Goliath earlier that day also reported concerns about its restraints. ATTORNEY SAYS FATAL SIX FLAGS ROLLER COASTER ACCIDENT COULD RAISE BROADER SAFETY QUESTIONS AS 9 RIDES CLOSE The restraint system, manufactured by Swiss company Bolliger & Mabillard, was designed to give riders the sensation of sitting on a "flying carpet" while still "guaranteeing optimum security," according to a U.S. patent granted to the company in 2001. Now, Six Flags says it is taking additional precautions. "We are reinforcing safety precautions at our parks and taking additional measures, including adding seat belts on Goliath and other coasters with a similar restraint," Six Flags Entertainment President and CEO John Reilly said in a statement Friday. Six Flags has not said which other coasters will get seat belts or when the closed rides might reopen. COLLEGE GRAD REPORTEDLY DIES IN SIX FLAGS ROLLER COASTER INCIDENT AS FAMILY SUES THEME PARK All nine coasters taken out of service were made by Bolliger & Mabillard. Each uses a padded restraint that locks over a rider's lap and upper legs, held in place by a bar between the knees. Six Flags said it has enlisted independent engineers and inspectors to review safety procedures across its theme parks. The eight additional roller coasters remain closed at Six Flags parks in Illinois, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio and Ontario, Canada. Goliath also remains shut down as state and local officials investigate Kariem's death. The fatal incident prompted precautionary closures beyond Six Flags properties. SeaWorld Orlando temporarily shut down its Mako roller coaster, which uses a similar restraint system, before reopening the ride Tuesday after a weeklong closure. A roller coaster at La Ronde in Montreal was also temporarily closed. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

After both teams took the field at Stade de France, The Soul Rebels, an eight-piece brass ensemble, played a unique rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner." It was far from the typical version of the national anthem that fans are accustomed to hearing ahead of contests, but the jazz-style rendition made sense with the French influence on the city of New Orleans, which is where the brass band is originally from. The Soul Rebels released a new song in the days leading up to the game and their performance in Paris, appropriately titled 'Saints in Paris.' According to NOLA, the band will take the stage on the sideline to perform at the end of each quarter. The group also performed during pre-game festivities ahead of Super Bowl LIX in 2025 in New Orleans. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW!

There's just one small problem: It doesn't have a place to play it. The Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries are tied 2-2 in the best-of-seven series after Golden State's 67-62 victory Saturday. That guarantees a Game 6 in Atlanta on Thursday, Oct. 29, but the league is once again scrambling to figure out where to host it. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE That's because the Atlanta Hawks are scheduled to host the Cleveland Cavaliers at State Farm Arena at 7 p.m. Thursday — exactly one hour before the Dream and Valkyries are supposed to tip off. So unless someone has figured out how to squeeze two professional basketball games onto the same court at the same time, something’s got to give. The Dream normally play at Gateway Center Arena in College Park, which seats just 3,500 fans. But Atlanta moved its home playoff games to the much larger State Farm Arena, which holds about 17,000. The move has paid off, with the Dream drawing sellout crowds during the Finals. Getting those games played, though, has required some scheduling gymnastics. Game 3 was moved from Thursday, Oct. 22, to Wednesday, Oct. 21, to avoid a concert conflict. Game 4 was moved to an earlier afternoon tipoff Saturday to accommodate the Hawks' home opener against the Houston Rockets that evening. Unfortunately, Thursday's conflict isn't quite so easy to solve. According to The Athletic, one possibility is moving the Hawks-Cavaliers game to Friday. But that would create a Friday-Saturday back-to-back for both NBA teams and put the rescheduled matchup on the opening night of NBA Cup group play. Another option would be sending the Dream back to their much smaller regular-season home, although that would mean turning away thousands of potential fans for a championship game. ZERO BS.

Other Atlanta-area venues could also be considered, including Georgia Tech's McCamish Pavilion and the Georgia State Convocation Center, according to CBS Sports.

The Dream have already announced plans to move into State Farm Arena full-time beginning with the 2027 season, which should make these scheduling headaches easier to avoid in the future.

Speaking to Fox News Digital from England, historian Dan Jones described his latest book as a 3,000-year journey through human history, from the Sack of Troy to the Nuclear Age, as it explores the broader history of castles and fortifications. DIVERS UNCOVER ANCIENT TREASURES LINKED TO ROMAN GIANT WHO HELPED SHAPE AMERICAN HISTORY From Iron Age hillforts to classic medieval castles and beyond, "Castles: A Fortified History of the World," explores fortifications across different eras and regions of the world, including Japan's Himeji Castle and nuclear bunkers built during the Cold War. Jones examines the role America has played in the broader history of castles, from early fortifications to Civil War-era forts. "I don't think we can truly understand it without having the American side to the story," said Jones. One notable example is Fort Sumter in South Carolina, where Confederate forces opened fire on Union troops in April 1861, marking the beginning of the Civil War. 'HIGHLY UNUSUAL' CANNONBALL CACHE FOUND AT CONSTRUCTION SITE IN COASTAL CITY MAY BE WORLD'S FIRST Jones described Fort Sumter, a coastal fortress built with thick brick walls and artillery defenses, as one of the "descendants of castles" that emerged in America. Another important moment in the history of castle building, Jones said, came when Union forces attacked Fort Pulaski in Georgia with rifled cannons in 1862. The fort had been considered nearly impenetrable, but was "blown to bits" within 48 hours, Jones told Fox News Digital. "Fort Pulaski was just thought to be so strong, you may as well bombard the Rocky Mountains," Jones said. RARE CANNONBALL EMERGES FROM GROUND AT THE ALAMO, LIKELY UNTOUCHED FOR NEARLY 190 YEARS "Well, Fort Pulaski was blown to bits in 48 hours, and that was a transformative moment in the whole history of castle building." Beyond military forts, America is also home to grand, castle-like estates built as displays of wealth and status, including Hearst Castle in California and Gilded Age mansions such as the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina and Belcourt in Newport, Rhode Island. Asked about the historical significance of America's grand, castle-like estates, Jones said that castles have long served two purposes: providing defense and displaying wealth and power. In that respect, many of the grand estates built during America's Gilded Age followed the same tradition as the magnificent residences of medieval kings and nobles. "There's this moment in the Middle Ages where they're combined, but you can see this in America today," Jones said. "There are colossal fortifications and there are these colossal palatial houses that have always been built by the super wealthy." He pointed to Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle, built in 1955, as another example of the enduring appeal of castles in the popular imagination. "These are as much a part of the story of castles as the sort of classic medieval ... stronghold," he said. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER Even so, the romantic image of castles often contrasts with their darker history. "The castle can sit on the landscape to intimidate, to terrify, to be a display of raw power," he said. The history of castles is, of course, also filled with gruesome details, and some of the most famous fortresses served as prisons and sites of torture and execution. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE NEWS Jones pointed to the Tower of London, where Anne Boleyn was beheaded and Guy Fawkes was tortured following the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. "I've had dinner in the room in which Guy Fawkes was stretched out on the rack after the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, which is a slightly grisly place to be," Jones told Fox News Digital. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ But castles have also served as zoos, mints and royal residences, Jones noted. Despite their sometimes dark history, Jones believes the enduring fascination with castles goes beyond what meets the eye. "Somewhere deep down the story of the castle is the story of building places to protect the things we love," he said. "That's what connects the whole history of fortification and castle building all the way back to almost the dawn of recorded history."

Kathy Hochul, betting that frustration over affordability, crime and the party's leftward shift could help him make inroads with traditionally Democratic voters. "They're not Democrats. They're socialists and communists," former Democratic Bronx Assemblyman Stephen Kaufman told Fox News Digital. "They're just not Democrats, they're not moderates." Kaufman delivered the blistering criticism while rallying alongside Blakeman at the Crosstown Diner in the Bronx, where several voters expressed similar frustrations with Democratic leadership and said they were backing the Republican candidate. "Every time I go out and meet the people, another Democrat comes up to me and says, 'Bruce, I'm a lifelong Democrat. I've never voted Republican in my life. We're voting for you,'" Blakeman told Fox News Digital. NY SOCIALIST SURGE COULD PUSH DEM VOTERS TO DEFECT, GOP GOVERNOR CANDIDATE PREDICTS Kaufman accused the Democratic Socialists of America of gaining increasing influence over the party, warning that Democrats are "rapidly becoming a house of hatred" that no longer welcomes moderate voices. Several Bronx voters who spoke with Fox News Digital echoed those concerns, pointing to rising costs, public safety and the Democratic Party's increasingly progressive direction as reasons they feel politically abandoned. "It's not your Democratic Party anymore. It's not your grandfather's Democratic Party. It's become the Democratic Socialist, a.k.a. Communist Party," Lisa, a resident of the Bronx's Throggs Neck neighborhood, said. "The socialists here literally said we’re land-hoarding if we only have a single-family home or a four-family home and that we were a problem… Kathy was all in support and quiet about it. She didn’t defend the homeowners," another man from the Bronx added. BRUCE BLAKEMAN HAMMERS DEM GOV HOCHUL, MAMDANI OVER SUBWAY SAFETY DURING NYC CAMPAIGN RIDE One registered Democrat said the party's failure to address the needs of working families was driving his political decisions. "I'm a registered Democrat. Ask me if I vote that way," he said. "I vote to what affects me, my community, the people I live with. I vote who's going to help the middle class." SHOCK POLL: POWERFUL BLUE STATE GOV'S LEAD SHRINKS TO SINGLE DIGITS WEEKS BEFORE ELECTION Blakeman argued that growing frustration with Hochul's leadership has created an opening for Republicans in a state long dominated by Democrats. "Kathy Hochul has raised taxes. She's raised utility rates 48 times. Programs like cashless bail make it easier for criminals to operate in our neighborhoods. So now I have the evidences. I have her report card and it's straight F's," said Blakeman. Kaufman said that Hochul has embraced and catered towards the further left of her party. THE IRAN WAR DIDN'T MAKE YOUR HEATING BILL THIS HIGH. BLUE-STATE ENERGY POLICY DID "The electricity rates have skyrocketed. She's had 42 increases over time. She wouldn't permit building of gas lines. She's closed utility plants. All she does is move harder and harder to the left. Which don't represent people in this neighborhood," he said. "Every time she has a problem, she goes crying to the hard left. She's totally controlled by them," Kaufman added. Blakeman, meanwhile, told Fox News Digital he would take the opposite approach, pledging to cut taxes and utility bills while making communities safer. "I will cut taxes. I will cut utility bills. And I will make for safer communities just like I did in my own county as county executive," Blakeman said. Blakeman pointed to his record as Nassau County executive, saying he has "not raised taxes a penny in five years" and has instead cut taxes by $150 million. "I’ll take my record, compare it to hers," he said, arguing he would "cut their taxes, cut the utility bills and make safer communities." The socialist wing of the Democratic Party has moved from the margins to positions of real political power, particularly in New York, where democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani became mayor and DSA-backed candidates went on to topple Democratic incumbents in congressional primaries. The movement has also scored victories beyond New York, with DSA-backed Melat Kiros defeating longtime Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette in Colorado and self-described democratic socialist Janeese Lewis George capturing the Democratic mayoral nomination in Washington, D.C. Fox News Digital reached out to Hochul's office for comment.

The "Vertigo" star has arranged to have her body turned into compost after her death so friends and loved ones can use the resulting soil to plant trees. The 93-year-old, who is the subject of "Kim Novak's Vertigo," a documentary about her life and career, first confirmed her plans to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Novak, who lives on a ranch in Oregon, told Fox News Digital she made the arrangements "a few years ago." 'CRIMINAL MINDS' STAR MANDY PATINKIN SHARES UNCONVENTIONAL PLAN FOR AFTER HIS DEATH "The idea is that I get to live after I'm gone through trees," Novak said. "It's an exciting adventure because this is what I want after I pass. I want to keep living. And one thing that I've always been short on is patience. And a tree has to have patience. I will get to continue to express myself and be an observer of life. To me, it's a beautiful thought. It's given me great peace of mind because I'm going to keep growing. So I'm excited about that." "It sounds funny perhaps, but it isn't really," she said. "I can't imagine being turned into ashes or being put under the ground. Both of those concepts are not too attractive to me." Novak isn't afraid of death, even if her plans may strike some as unconventional. The lifelong nature lover said her connection to the environment has given her peace about what comes next. WATCH: ALFRED HITCHCOCKS BLONDES HAD A GREAT DEAL OF SEX, AUTHOR CLAIMS "Some people may not even be aware that's a choice," Novak said. "And I know some people don't like to talk about death, or think they're going to be turned into ashes or be underground. It sounds awful. But you have a choice. You can decide what comes next." "For me, this was a beautiful concept, the idea of becoming one with the soil," Novak continued. "And with compost, of course, everything grows so much better than if you didn't have it. It helps with growth. You become part of the process. It's natural, it's real, it's honest, it's pure. And I even get to choose the kind of flowers that are going to be part of my compost — forget-me-nots." Although human composting is legal in Oregon, Novak has arranged for her remains to be transported to an Earth Funeral facility in Washington state to undergo the process, known as natural organic reduction. "I’m in Oregon, so it's not that big a deal," Novak said. "However, they’re going to have to pack me in ice in order to make it all the way to this place," she said with a laugh. GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE Novak acknowledged that additional options may now be available since she made her arrangements years ago. "I'm having all of my compost, once it's done, delivered to friends and family, a bit of it," she said. "I have instructions for all of them to plant a tree or a shrub, but preferably a tree, because I look forward to keeping growing. That's what it's all about for me. I want to keep growing. This is a beautiful expression of life continuing after death." When Novak began planning her final sendoff, she knew she didn't want to be buried or cremated. She began exploring other options. "Here in Oregon, there was one place where I could have had a tree planted over me," she said. "However, it was only one tree. I'd like to be many trees." According to The Associated Press, Novak was the world's top box-office star from 1958 to 1960. The outlet reported that she stepped away from Hollywood in 1966 to pursue a private life devoted to painting. "Leaving Hollywood taught me that how I live my life matters," she said. "When I left, what mattered the most was being out in nature. I’ve always wanted to be close to nature and live a natural life. Painting has allowed me to continue expressing myself while out in nature. And every day of my life, I’m painting. I can’t wait to wake up each day and start working on a new painting. Sometimes, I’ll stick with a painting for months just because I haven’t fully figured out what I want to express. It’s been a wonderful way to live a life of expression." LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

But playing a character, becoming one with another person, that always gave me joy. When I look back at my life, I remember all the wonderful opportunities I was given to become a different, beautiful character. But even then, I was drawing too. I used to always draw the characters I was playing in my script. Every time I’d find some new feeling about my character, I would draw it and paint it." Novak's film credits include Otto Preminger's "The Man with the Golden Arm," Joshua Logan's "Picnic," "Pal Joey" and "Bell, Book and Candle." Today, she continues to pursue painting away from Hollywood. But Novak believes her story won't end with her death. "I made my decision because I want to do something good for the environment, and others can too," she said. "After we're gone, the Earth is still here, and we need to protect it. Life goes on when we're no longer here. And in some ways, this doesn't make you feel like you're dying. You're continuing to live on becoming part of the environment.

The Nuggets are riding a streak of four straight years of at least 50 wins but only have one title to show for it. It’s the best the Nuggets have consistently been in years and fans are hoping that more than one Larry O’Brien Trophy can come home to the Rocky Mountains before the window truly closes.

Now Washington is turning the tables on Havana te 2026-10-25T14:00:06.355Z Cuba spent decades recruiting American spies. Now Washington is turning the tables on Havana Cuba’s government has spent decades recruiting Americans to betray their country. It objects to Secretary of State Marco Rubio inviting Cubans to cooperate with the CIA. Havana apparently believes espionage should remain a privilege of the dictatorship. The Trump administration is right to disagree. Rubio is challenging a comfortable assumption in Washington: that Cuba is too broke to matter. A regime unable to keep the lights on can still penetrate a government, compromise an intelligence officer, and help America’s adversaries. Poverty has never disqualified a country from espionage. It can make espionage one of its more valuable exports. I am an American of Cuban descent who spent more than two decades as a CIA operations officer, including service as chief of station in Latin America. That background leaves me with little patience for the assumption that a failing economy must produce an incompetent security apparatus. Dictatorships allocate resources according to what keeps them in power. Feeding the population and protecting the regime are different priorities. Havana has made its choice repeatedly. CUBA’S ECONOMIC FREEFALL IS HIDING A NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT JUST MILES FROM FLORIDA: REPORT The record requires little elaboration. Ana Belén Montes became the Pentagon’s leading Cuba analyst while working for Cuban intelligence. She exposed American intelligence officers and distorted Washington’s understanding of the country she was supposed to assess. Victor Manuel Rocha served as a U.S. ambassador and on the National Security Council while secretly serving Havana. Kendall and Gwendolyn Myers sustained an espionage conspiracy for 30 years. These were patient investments in access. Cuban intelligence cultivated ideological commitment, steered recruits toward useful positions, and allowed American institutions to supply salaries, credentials, and trust. Montes needed no fortune deposited offshore. Conviction was enough. The most damaging agent may be the respected expert whose colleagues cannot imagine that his judgment belongs to someone else. ALLEGED CUBAN INFLUENCE OPERATIVE, FAMILY IN FEDERAL CUSTODY AFTER RUBIO REVOKES LEGAL STATUS The consequences extended beyond stolen documents. Cuba’s Wasp Network penetrated exile organizations and targeted American military facilities. One of its officers was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder in connection with the 1996 destruction of two Brothers to the Rescue aircraft. Four men died, three of them American citizens. Havana’s intelligence operations have carried a human cost that diplomatic euphemisms cannot erase. Rubio’s invitation puts pressure where it belongs: on the people who keep the regime functioning. An intelligence officer, military official, or party insider may know which Americans Havana has recruited, which foreign services it assists, or who signed an order to arrest a dissident. That knowledge gives him something to offer. Washington should make clear that it is prepared to listen. FLORIDA ATTORNEY GENERAL JAMES UTHMEIER SECURES STATE ARREST WARRANT FOR RAÚL CASTRO The invitation also puts a question inside Cuban headquarters that no security chief can comfortably dismiss: Who among us has already answered? Even suspicion can consume time and manpower. Every officer assigned to investigate a colleague is an officer unavailable for another mission. A service accustomed to exploiting American trust should have to spend more effort defending its own. The work behind that invitation must be exacting. Havana will send fabricators and sources it controls. A volunteer’s hatred of the regime does not establish that his information is true. Verify what he knows, test what he claims, and protect him if he proves reliable. The measure of success is a Cuban agent inside an American institution identified, a threatened source protected, or a Cuban operation stopped. US SANCTIONS FIVE CUBAN ENTITIES, CASTRO FAMILY MEMBER IN LATEST PRESSURE CAMPAIGN, RUBIO SAYS The president needs to know who works for Havana inside our institutions, what its partners receive, and where its chain of command is vulnerable. A negotiator who knows what the other side is concealing is harder to deceive. A counterintelligence service that can identify the next Montes before she spends years in place can prevent damage that no prosecution will undo. That is the return on patient intelligence work. Havana will call cooperation with Washington treason. A dictatorship always finds it convenient to confuse its own survival with the life of the nation. Cubans who expose the officials imprisoning their neighbors or the intelligence networks threatening other countries need no lecture on patriotism from the people responsible. The regime does not own their allegiance merely because it controls their passports. CUBA'S FOREIGN MINISTER ACCUSES MARCO RUBIO OF LYING TO AMERICANS TO JUSTIFY ACTION AGAINST CUBA President Donald Trump and Rubio are right to force this choice. Pressure should make service to the regime more costly, while a credible opening gives insiders a reason to leave it. Washington must sustain both long enough to produce results. The Cuban services have operated on a timetable measured in decades. America cannot answer with an attention span measured in news cycles. For decades, Havana asked Americans to betray a free country. Washington should welcome Cubans willing to help their country become one.

So, we've learned a lesson: The league that played the fabled Ice Bowl in temperatures of minus-13°F, played the Fog Bowl in zero visibility, and played Super Bowl XXIII just days after riots in Miami, has a new a benchmark for playing despite difficult circumstances. Surrounded by a heavier security presence than perhaps any NFL regular-season game before, the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints kicked off just as the league planned for months at around 3:30 p.m. Paris time (9:30 a.m ET in the United States). NEARLY 1,000 ARRESTED ACROSS FRANCE AS POLICE FIND POTENTIAL WEAPONS ON PROTESTORS: OFFICIALS The game is being played in the wake of an exhausting Saturday in which a government estimated 110,000 protesters consisting of students, workers, farmers, socialists, communists, pro-Palestine Muslims, anarchists, Antifa and other radicals took to the streets to march, battle police, and cause civil unrest. And although that unrest forced the shuttering of Saturday's three official fan events planned by the NFL, Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints, it didn't claim Sunday's game. Stade de France, approximately nine miles north of the Eiffel Tower, was near capacity at kickoff. It is unknown if the game has faced any credible security threats prior to kickoff. Emails to the league's security department and the Prefecture de Police de Paris have not been answered by publication time. And while the teams and players will tell the tale of this game, the story of how it remained as scheduled despite the surrounding violence is an equally compelling and perhaps controversial narrative. FRANCE'S TOP SOCCER TEAM OBEYS POLICE ORDER TO MOVE SUNDAY MATCH; SAINTS, STEELERS OWNERS MEET WITH MACRON The NFL is playing this first game in France after calls from pundits, at least one player's wife, and even the President of the United States to postpone or relocate. Paris Saint-Germaine rescheduled its Saturday match to Monday because of the unrest and that fed the chorus of voices calling for the NFL to do the same. But when asked by OutKick if it still expected to play the game amid the postponement of the soccer match and the shuttering of its own pregame fan events, the NFL had a one word answer: "Yes." The NFL reached that decision even though President Donald Trump admitted he was "worried about it," and went on to admit, "I would've said the NFL could've probably postponed that match, if you want to know the truth." The NFL faced similar calls to back down throughout the past week. NFL MONITORS FRANCE STREET VIOLENCE BEFORE SAINTS-STEELERS GAME NEAR PA RIS WITH A MAJOR DECISION LOOMING But the week was filled with the league officials saying they were moving ahead with the game, with the understanding it had contingencies for doing something else if necessary. NFL executive vice president for Club Business and International Peter O'Reilly said last week the league was being "vigilant" about the situation in France but still confident the game would go forward. "We've got confidence in the plans both from an ops and security standpoint," he said. That confidence was echoed by Commissioner Roger Goodell, who informed reporters that he had been in contact not just with the U.S. Department of State but with Secretary of State Marco Rubio himself. EXCLUSIVE: SECRETARY OF STATE MARCO RUBIO GIVES NFL COMMISSIONER ROGER GOODELL ASSURANCES ABOUT PLAYING IN FRANCE Rubio confirmed to OutKick that the U.S. Embassy and France believed the game would "be fine." The intriguing thing about this game and the NFL's recent misadventure in London, where Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts flew approximately 11 hours roundtrip while battling a blood clot that got worse after the return flight home, is that more players have openly questioned the league's embrace of international games. Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf was asked in France if there is a country he would like to play a next international game? "No, sir," Metcalf said, "because I really don't like traveling outside the U.S. to play football."

The share of Catholic adults in the United States who report drinking alcohol has fallen to 55%, according to a Gallup report authored by analyst Frank Newport. That marks a decline from the 2002–2004 period, when 79% of Catholics reported consuming alcoholic beverages. Over that same timeframe, self-reported Protestant drinking rates remained flat at 54%. HEAVY DRINKING SURGES AMONG AMERICANS IN ONE AGE GROUP AS OTHER GENERATIONS CUT BACK "Drinking has dropped significantly within both the group of those who have no religious identity and, in particular, among Catholics," Newport wrote in the analysis. However, experts urged caution when drawing sweeping conclusions from subgroup survey data. Dr. Joshua Gowin, an associate professor in the Department of Radiology at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus who studies alcohol's effects on the brain, noted that self-reported polling figures can fluctuate based on sampling. "There's definitely a general pattern of alcohol use decreasing across groups," Gowin told Fox News Digital. "As far as the subgroups go, it wasn't clear or necessarily compelling to me that one group was showing a broad trend that wasn't reflected in the other groups," he went on.  BRAD PITT SAYS HE CAN DRINK IN ‘RESTRAINED MANNER’ AFTER 7 SOBER YEARS, BUT EXPERT RAISES RED FLAG "It seemed like really only one data point showed that effect ... which made me a little skeptical that this is a broader phenomenon versus a single survey sample." Despite methodological limitations in tracking specific religious subgroups, researchers agree that broader social and health trends are driving a shift in overall drinking habits. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER Gallup findings indicate that a majority of Americans now view moderate drinking — defined as one or two drinks per day — as bad for their health. In the latest polling, 52% of Catholics said moderate alcohol consumption is bad for health, alongside 56% of adults with no religious affiliation and 48% of Protestants. Gowin noted that this public shift reflects decades of neuroscience and medical research. CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES "Twenty years ago, there was still kind of a push and pull between some benefits of alcohol and then some things that even then we knew were potentially harmful," he said. "Over time, we've gotten a lot more clarity on the things that are bad for our health ... the balance has just shifted more in favor of the evidence for negative health effects." Gowin pointed out that large-scale neuroimaging studies now consistently link higher alcohol consumption to reduced brain volume, reinforcing public health warnings. Researchers also attribute shifting consumption patterns to broader societal changes, including shifts in social behavior and loneliness. Much of America's alcohol consumption has historically occurred in group settings, and changes in how people gather socially may be influencing drinking habits, they believe. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ At the same time, experts caution that a drop in general social drinking does not mean severe alcohol problems have dissolved. "One of the things that is a bit of a contradiction ... is that although the overall prevalence among all adults is down for the number of drinkers, there is actually a larger number of alcohol-related deaths in the past few years," Gowin noted. "It's not like the serious problems have gone away."

Douglas Herlihy, now 40, has admitted to killing his father as a 17-year-old, according to the New Hampshire Department of Justice. The father and son had a turbulent relationship with prior violence and law enforcement involvement before the father’s death. Paul Herlihy, 50, was found on August 27, 2003, during a welfare check requested by a relative. DNA TECHNOLOGY LEADS TO ARREST IN 1988 KILLING OF ORLANDO WOMAN AFTER NEARLY FOUR DECADES Officers entered his Milford, New Hampshire home through a window. They immediately noticed "hundreds of flies and the strong odor of decomposition," court records show. Paul Herlihy’s body was found on the kitchen floor wrapped in carpet and covered with a blue tarp. Officers found blood spatters on kitchen cabinets, the refrigerator, walls and the ceiling. The autopsy determined the death to be a homicide caused by blunt-force trauma within the past four days. The medical examiner found injuries to Paul Herlihy’s nose and jaw, fractures to his skull, and damage to his voice box. Investigators said the killer repeatedly struck him in the head, causing his death. In the backyard of the home, directly outside Douglas Herlihy’s bedroom window, the police found carpet and carpet padding with blood stains. Investigators concluded that the carpets and padding were pushed out of Douglas Herlihy’s bedroom window, which was open when investigators visited. DNA testing suggested the blood on the carpet and padding could belong to Paul Herlihy. Inside the younger Herlihy’s bedroom, a closet door was covered with a towel. When investigators removed the towel, they found "large handwriting on the door, which read: ‘I WILL SEE YOU IN HELL,’" according to an arrest affidavit. A killer was never identified.

Thousands of pieces of junk are circling Earth at incredible speeds. Some are dead satellites. Others are leftover rocket parts or fragments from past collisions. Any one of them could cause serious trouble if it hits a working spacecraft. Now Britain has a pretty wild solution. It's developing a robotic spacecraft with giant claws that can grab dead satellites and move them toward a fiery end in Earth's atmosphere. Think of a garbage truck in orbit, except this one has to track down its trash while both objects are traveling thousands of miles per hour. The UK is putting roughly $81 million behind the project. And if everything goes according to plan, the mission could change how we deal with the growing mess above our heads.

The UK Space Agency has selected aerospace company ClearSpace UK to develop a spacecraft specifically designed to remove dead satellites from orbit. The contract is valued at approximately $81 million. The project is part of Britain's Active Debris Removal mission, known as UK ADR. The spacecraft is targeted for launch in 2029 from SaxaVord Spaceport in Scotland's Shetland Islands. Its first job will be to remove two defunct UK-registered satellites from low Earth orbit. The government wants both satellites removed by 2032. If successful, the mission would demonstrate that one spacecraft can capture and dispose of multiple dead satellites without being sacrificed after its first cleanup. That could make future operations far more practical, especially as the number of satellites in orbit continues to grow. Catching a satellite sounds straightforward until you consider what's happening in orbit. Objects in low Earth orbit typically travel at roughly 17,000 mph or faster. Some dead satellites may also tumble, making them difficult to approach safely. That's where ClearSpace's robotic technology comes in. The spacecraft will use a specialized capture system to approach and secure an inactive satellite. First, it must carefully coordinate its movements with the target. Then its robotic capture mechanism will take hold of the object. Once the satellite is secured, the spacecraft will move it into a lower orbit and release it. Atmospheric drag will eventually pull the abandoned satellite down, causing it to reenter Earth's atmosphere, where it is expected to burn up. The cleanup spacecraft itself is being designed for potential refueling and reuse. That means it could remain in orbit for future work instead of ending its mission after disposing of one satellite. Of course, engineers still have to prove the technology can handle these demanding operations safely. You might assume there's plenty of room in space for a few broken satellites. Unfortunately, some of the orbital regions where satellites operate are becoming increasingly crowded. According to the European Space Agency's space debris statistics, updated October 14, 2026, approximately 47,140 objects are regularly tracked in Earth's orbit. That figure includes functioning satellites, inactive spacecraft, rocket bodies and debris. And those are only the objects large enough to track reliably. ESA estimates that millions of smaller pieces also surround Earth. The danger comes from their enormous speeds. A piece of debris measuring just one centimeter can carry enough energy to disable a spacecraft. ESA has also warned that an impact of that size could penetrate the protective shielding of the International Space Station. Now consider what happens when two large objects collide. They can break apart and produce many additional fragments, each capable of damaging something else. Scientists call this potential chain reaction the Kessler syndrome. If enough collisions occur, certain orbital regions could become extremely hazardous for future missions. ESA's 2026 Space Environment Report warns that active debris removal will be necessary to prevent long-term debris growth driven by collisions. TRUMP TO TRANSFORM SPACEFLIGHT FROM SPECTACLE TO STATUS QUO TARGETING 3 LAUNCHES PER DAY The danger extends beyond expensive satellites. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station face risks from debris traveling through orbit. In November 2021, crew members took shelter inside their spacecraft after a Russian anti-satellite weapons test created a dangerous cloud of debris. NASA confirmed that astronauts and cosmonauts closed hatches and sheltered inside docked Dragon and Soyuz spacecraft while teams evaluated the threat. Fortunately, the station and crew remained safe. The incident demonstrated how quickly debris from a satellite breakup can disrupt operations in orbit. A serious impact could damage critical systems or puncture a spacecraft's pressurized structure. That's why space agencies continuously monitor debris and sometimes adjust spacecraft orbits to avoid potential collisions. Removing larger abandoned satellites could help prevent future collisions that create even more fragments. Here's another concern that deserves attention. Some space debris eventually returns to Earth, and certain components can survive the intense heat of atmospheric reentry. Most smaller debris burns up. However, larger objects and components made from heat-resistant materials can sometimes reach the ground. As rocket launches increase, researchers are paying closer attention to this danger. Space environmentalist Ewan Wright, from the University of British Columbia, told Space.com that approximately 124 rocket stages reentered Earth's atmosphere uncontrolled in 2024. He estimated that if that annual level continued for a decade, there would be a 33% probability of at least one person somewhere in the world being killed by falling rocket debris. That estimate describes a cumulative global risk from rocket stages, rather than the danger posed by Britain's two satellite-removal targets. ESA also reports that the risk of casualties from uncontrolled reentries has increased in recent years, although the overall probability remains low compared with many everyday risks. The takeaway here is that removing debris from orbit requires careful planning. Operators must consider what happens when that material eventually returns to Earth. Britain's mission could have implications well beyond the two satellites it plans to remove. For years, many satellites were designed primarily to complete their missions and then be retired. Some remain in orbit long after they stop functioning. Now companies are developing spacecraft capable of approaching other satellites and performing tasks that once seemed incredibly difficult. ClearSpace's mission could help prove that robotic spacecraft can safely capture objects that were never designed for servicing. Its planned refueling capability is particularly interesting. Instead of launching a new cleanup vehicle for every job, operators could eventually service an existing spacecraft and send it after more debris. That could open the door to a new commercial industry. Satellite operators might eventually pay specialized companies to remove aging equipment or extend the useful lives of working spacecraft. However, the UK mission remains in development. Its long-term commercial potential will depend on whether the technology performs as expected. You probably don't spend much time thinking about abandoned satellites while checking the weather or following GPS directions. But the technology operating above Earth plays an enormous role in everyday life. Satellites support communication networks, provide navigation signals and deliver information used for weather forecasting. They also help scientists monitor changes on Earth and support emergency response operations. GPS satellites operate in medium Earth orbit, much higher than the low Earth orbit debris targeted by Britain's mission. Still, the broader effort to keep orbital regions safer helps protect the infrastructure that supports satellite-based services. A collision that disables an important spacecraft could disrupt operations and force companies or government agencies to rely on backup systems. Replacing a damaged satellite can also be expensive. Britain's robotic cleanup mission won't eliminate the space junk problem overnight. But successfully removing two abandoned satellites could help establish a practical way to deal with dangerous objects already in orbit. And with thousands of additional satellites being launched, finding a reliable way to retire them safely could become increasingly important. I have to admit, the idea of a spacecraft chasing down dead satellites with giant robotic claws sounds like something Hollywood dreamed up. But I find the technology fascinating, especially when you consider how much we depend on satellites without giving them a second thought. What really caught my attention is the possibility of reusing the cleanup spacecraft. That could make removing space junk a routine service rather than an occasional experiment. Still, I wonder whether we're moving fast enough. With companies launching more satellites every year, cleaning up two abandoned spacecraft feels like a small start. I'd like to see satellite operators take greater responsibility for what they leave behind. After all, we wouldn't tolerate companies abandoning broken equipment on our highways. Why should Earth's orbit be any different?

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6addfafdf04c506ce1bfd7ae Fake Social Security statement email hides a scam te 2026-10-25T12:50:05.635Z Fake Social Security statement email hides a scam There's something about an email from Social Security that makes you pay attention. After all, we're talking about your retirement benefits and years of earnings. So when a message lands in your inbox saying your statement is ready, clicking to take a look might seem perfectly reasonable. That's exactly what scammers are counting on. Take a look at this email below that recently landed in an inbox. It looks professional, carries the Social Security Administration (SSA) logo and includes a button to view a statement. However, a closer inspection reveals something the sender probably hoped you wouldn't notice. The message came from an email address with no apparent connection to the federal government. Even more concerning, the Social Security Administration's Office of the Inspector General warned in February 2026 about a significant increase in fraudulent emails using this same type of trick. Here's how to spot the warning signs in this email and protect yourself before scammers get their hands on your personal information.

FAKE CHATGPT BILLING EMAILS CAN STEAL YOUR LOGIN The message arrives with the subject line "Statement Support Was Posted to Your Account Details Report." The sender appears as "Social Security Administrator," which immediately gives the impression of an official government communication. Inside, the email announces, "Your statement is ready." It goes on to say your 2025 Social Security statement is available and invites you to review your earnings record and benefit estimates online. There's even a neatly formatted box showing the year as 2025 and the status as "Ready." Below that sits a prominent blue "View statement" button. The message also displays what looks like the official Social Security website address. For someone quickly checking email before work or while getting through a crowded inbox, this could easily pass as a routine government notification. Here's where the message falls apart. Although the sender's display name says "Social Security Administrator," expanding the sender information reveals an address using the domain loradmiadministraciones.com . That's a major red flag. The address has no apparent relationship to Social Security, and the sender's domain does not end in .gov. Scammers can customize their display names to impersonate government agencies or other trusted organizations. According to the Social Security Administration, most legitimate SSA emails come from government email addresses. However, the agency does use some authorized outside services, including certain communications from echosign.com and approved marketing firms. That means you should examine the complete sender address and verify any unexpected request independently. Even a familiar-looking sender address can be spoofed. FAKE PATIENT PORTAL SCAM CAN STEAL YOUR LOGIN AND INFECT YOUR PC The email encourages the recipient to click "View statement" to access what appears to be a routine financial document. That button is a central concern. A phishing link can redirect you to a fraudulent website designed to steal account credentials or sensitive personal information. Some malicious links can also lead to malware downloads. We haven't verified the destination behind the button in this particular email. However, the suspicious sender address and resemblance to known SSA phishing campaigns make the message unsafe to trust. The SSA's inspector general has specifically warned about fake statement notifications containing dangerous links. Those links could expose personal information or compromise devices. One interesting thing about this example is how little pressure it puts on the reader. There's no demand for immediate payment or warning that benefits will disappear within 24 hours. Instead, the message offers something people might genuinely want to see: their Social Security statement. It also uses the generic greeting "Dear Beneficiary," despite appearing in an inbox associated with a named recipient. That lack of personalization provides another reason to investigate, although generic greetings alone cannot prove an email is fraudulent. The professional appearance does much of the work. The SSA logo and government-style formatting create an impression of credibility. Yet none of those visual elements establishes who actually sent the email. Yes, and that's what makes this scam particularly convincing. According to the SSA's official guidance, people with a personal my Social Security account generally receive an annual email reminder approximately three months before their birthday. The agency also sends certain notifications about new messages and notices. Scammers take advantage of these legitimate communications by creating messages that resemble official SSA reminders. Before opening a statement or following instructions in an unexpected email, take a few seconds to investigate the message. On a computer, click the sender's name or expand the message details to reveal the full email address. On an iPhone or Android phone, tap the sender's name or address to view additional information. The exact method depends on your email app. Look closely at the domain. Watch for unfamiliar company names, extra characters or addresses unrelated to Social Security. On a computer, hover your mouse over a button or link without clicking. Your browser or email app may display its actual destination. On a phone, some email apps let you touch and hold a link to preview its address. Be careful because certain apps may open or begin loading a preview. When in doubt, skip this step and visit the official SSA website yourself. Remember that a website beginning with HTTPS can still be fraudulent. Encryption alone does not prove that a website belongs to the government. The most reliable approach is to open a new browser window and visit ssa.gov yourself. You can also contact Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 using the number published on its official website. Avoid using contact details provided in a suspicious email. You can check your earnings record and estimated retirement benefits without clicking an emailed statement link. If you don't already have an account, follow the official registration instructions. Creating an account can also help you monitor your Social Security information for unexpected activity. A convincing email can catch anyone off guard, especially when it concerns retirement benefits or personal financial information. These practical steps can help protect your identity and accounts. Even when an email looks authentic, use the SSA website independently to access your information. Avoid downloading unsolicited statement attachments or documents that claim to come from the agency. Use a unique password for your Login.gov or ID.me account and keep multifactor authentication enabled. Also protect the email account associated with your Social Security profile because criminals may target it to reset other passwords. Strong antivirus software can help identify dangerous websites and block known malware downloads. Keep your operating system, browser and security software updated to protect against newly discovered threats. Get my picks for the best 2026 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android & iOS devices at Cyberguy.com Never provide your Social Security number or financial account information through an unexpected email link. If someone claims to represent Social Security and requests sensitive details, contact the agency through its official website. Review your earnings history periodically through your personal SSA account. Look for unfamiliar earnings or changes to account details. If you notice something suspicious, contact Social Security directly for assistance. Scammers can collect personal details from people-search websites and data brokers to make their messages more convincing. Consider removing your information from these websites or using a reputable data removal service to handle supported requests. Although this won't stop every phishing attempt, it can limit some of the personal details criminals find online. Check out my top picks for data removal services and get a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web by visiting Cyberguy.com The SSA Office of the Inspector General accepts reports of Social Security impersonation scams at oig.ssa.gov/report/ . Save the suspicious sender address and relevant screenshots. You can also report the message through your email provider's built-in phishing-reporting feature. Once you've preserved the information needed for a report, delete the email. Your next steps depend on what happened after you clicked. Here's how to respond. Close the suspicious website immediately. Avoid interacting with additional prompts or downloading files. If the site attempted a download, check your device's Downloads folder without opening the file. Simply visiting a phishing page does not automatically mean your information was stolen. However, keep your browser and operating system updated, and run a security scan with strong antivirus software if you notice anything unusual. Change the affected password immediately through the legitimate website, preferably using a trusted device. If you reused the password anywhere else, change it on those accounts too. A reputable password manager can help you create strong, unique passwords for each account and alert you to passwords that may have been exposed in a data breach. Next, review account activity and recovery settings. Check for unfamiliar sign-ins or unauthorized changes. Contact Login.gov, ID.me or the affected service through its official support channels if you believe someone accessed your account. Visit IdentityTheft.gov for a personalized recovery plan. Consider placing a free credit freeze with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. This can help prevent criminals from opening new credit accounts using your information. You should also review your credit reports and monitor financial accounts for unauthorized activity. Avoid opening the downloaded file if you haven't already. If you ran it, disconnect the affected device from the internet and perform a scan with strong antivirus software. If you suspect malware installed successfully, use a separate trusted device to change sensitive passwords. Consider getting professional assistance before signing back into financial accounts on the affected computer. Contact your bank or financial institution immediately. Explain what happened and ask about securing your accounts or disputing unauthorized transactions. You should also report the incident to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov/ and the Federal Trade Commission at reportfraud.ftc.gov/ . The SSA's inspector general recommends these reporting channels for victims of Social Security impersonation scams. If you experienced financial loss, consider filing a report with local law enforcement. What concerns me about this particular scam is how routine the email feels. There are no dramatic threats or wild promises. It simply tells you that your Social Security statement is available, something millions of Americans have a legitimate reason to check. And the design is convincing enough that someone could click before thinking twice. I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it: A polished email doesn't tell you anything about who's really behind it. In this example, checking the sender's actual address exposed a serious warning sign immediately. My advice is simple. When an email involves your Social Security information, go directly to the government website and check for yourself. A few extra seconds of caution could save you from a much bigger headache. Have you ever received an official-looking government email that turned out to be a scam? What gave it away, or did you almost fall for it?

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6addf64ef04c506ce1bfd71b More questions than answers: Arch Manning likes the disrespect, Big 12's disaster and a CFP race in disarray te 2026-10-25T12:30:06.476Z More questions than answers: Arch Manning likes the disrespect, Big 12's disaster and a CFP race in disarray So, turns out 'survival weekend' in college football did not go as planned for a number of teams across the country on Saturday, as for the consecutive weeks the No. 2 ranked team in the sport went down in dramatic fashion. This time it was No. 2 BYU falling victim to the hangover, losing to UCF in double-overtime that turned into pure chaos over the final few minutes of regulation, after defeating Notre Dame last week. And, maybe Steve Sarkisian was right this past week in the buildup to the Ole Miss showdown that everyone involved in the talk around Arch Manning, even if warranted, created a monster in the Texas quarterback. How did Arch feel about the commentary around him this week? He admitted it's a never ending cycle, though he's starting to enjoy the doubters in his 'edgy' era. "I've been hyped up all my life, the preseason and all this stuff," Manning explained after the win over Ole Miss. "I think I kida like being disregarded kinda now." ARCH MANNING, TEXAS SURVIVE OLE MISS AFTER ANOTHER SECOND HALF MELTDOWN CREATES ANXIETY IN AUSTIN AFTER REBELS FRENZY COMEBACK A win over the No. 7 Rebels have put the Longhorns back into the CFP conversation in dramatic fashion, with a statement win over an Ole Miss team who was coming off a bye-week. It was also the Big 12 Conference that was at the forefront of madness this week, taking a page out of the SEC's playbook after last weekend, while both No. 15 Iowa and No. 16 USC lost in Big Ten play. Did we expect Texas Tech to go on the road and lose to unranked Cincinnati? No, but we also didn’t think the Red Raiders would look so lethargic in the process behind their expensive roster that is partially funded by mega-booster Cody Campbell. The fact is that there is so much parity across college football right now that nothing should come as a surprise any longer, at least not during the 2026 season. Whether it's Oregon losing its third game of the year, with a disaster of a performance against Illinois, or Michigan taking Indiana to overtime in the 'Big House', there is a weird vibe around the sport currently. Who in the world are the best teams in college football? What in the world is in the water around the Texas football facility? One minute it's Arch Manning putting on a show for college football fans, and then it's the Longhorns going cold in the second half that has us all wondering why there is this tale of two halves with this Steve Sarkisian offense. What we witnessed on Saturday night in Austin was essentially just another night in the SEC. A back-and-forth slugfest between two teams that are capable of making a college football playoff run if everything is clicking. Somebody had to lose, and we still have plenty of questions lingering around both teams coming out of this one. DID WE CREATE A MONSTER? ARCH MANNING'S 'AW SHUCKS' PERSONA IS GONE Trinidad Chambliss is still that dude, as he proved in the second half of this matchup, and Arch Manning is still trying to figure out how to play consistent football for four quarters. Each team is still in the running for the SEC title game, while every conference team besides Georgia and Kentucky has two losses. And yes, that list now includes Tennessee after a fourth quarter frenzy by South Carolina. I think Tennessee fans are still trying to figure out how they lost that football game, or putting some of the blame on the officiating (which i'd understand). But, when the Vols couldn’t get out of their own way, South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers and defensive end Dylan Stewart kicked the door down. Another one of those hangovers, right? Maybe, but after a dominating performance against Alabama last week, one would’ve expected a better outing from the No. 11 ranked team in the country during the most important times of the game. But, it was the Gamecocks who reeked havoc on the Vols once again at home, with head coach Shane Beamer even taking shots at those floating out conspiracy theories about the win over Tennessee in 2022 that was absorbed in talk of his team using signals stolen by Connor Stallions to win that game. Yea, it got pretty weird on Saturday night in Columbia. But the only certain thing in the SEC is that nothing is for certain. If the Red Raiders are expecting to still have a shot at making the college football playoff after losing on the road to Cincinnati, you can thank BYU for that glimmer of hope. Judging by what we all witnessed, this Texas Tech team is obviously not in the same stratosphere as the 2025 roster, with Will Hammond struggling to complete passes against the Bearcats defense. TEXAS TECH'S $30 MILLION ROSTER RUNS INTO A BUZZSAW AS CINCINNATI DELIVERS SORSBY REVENGE IN TOP-10 UPSET Maybe we can chalk that up to 'karma' for how things went down with former Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby in his transfer to Texas Tech before being ruled ineligible due to his sports gambling. Who knows, but something is clearly wrong with this Joey McGuire football team on offense. As for BYU, this squad is providing opportunities to others within the Big 12 to keep pace within the conference after UCF shocked the Cougars 39-31 in double-overtime. Going on the road this season is clearly a trap for ranked teams, but coming off the win against Notre Dame last week in Provo, I don't imagine many folks thought the Cougars would fall into this category behind an offensive unit that had proven to be a problem through the first half of this season. Now, we are in store for all sorts of craziness out of the Big 12, and we still have the 'Holy War' in the coming weeks between Utah and BYU. Just when you thought the SEC and Big Ten were getting a little wild, it's the Big 12 that decided to devour itself on Saturday. As for the Utah, it was the defense that stepped up in a major way on Saturday night, leading to the win over No. 14 Houston that has left the Big 12 conference in a very weird state. What happens now when BYU and Utah meet in a few weeks in the 'Holy War'? Houston suffered its second loss of the season, and it comes at a time when the Big 12 is still in its chaos mode. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Now that Texas Tech has also suffered a conference loss, we are headed towards a wild final week of October, which will lead to a chaotic month of November as teams fight for a spot in the college football playoff. I think the obvious answer is that we are living in a time where we don't know who the best teams in college football are. Besides the other chaos that took place on Saturday, it was No. 15 Iowa losing to Minnesota on a last-second field goal, and No. 16 USC getting destroyed by Wisconsin. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! We might think it's teams like Georgia, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Miami, Indiana and one or two others, but there are so many questions right now that it's hard to pin down just a few teams. Next week could clear up a few questions about what Ohio State will look like without quarterback Julian Sayin, or how Georgia looks against another tough opponent after having the week off following the loss to Auburn. A matchup against Florida awaits the Bulldogs in Atlanta, as the neutral site game is moved to Mercedes Benz Stadium this year because of construction to the Jacksonville Jaguars home. All of that to say that after another critical weekend of college football, we are headed towards the further unknown, with the first CFP rankings set to be released in the coming weeks. Once again, we leave the weekend with more questions than answers, and that includes whether Arch Manning can keep this up for the rest of this season. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6addf1a3f04c506ce1bfd69c Human vs. ChatGPT NFL Week 7 betting picks: Human clings to profit as AI claims third straight win te 2026-10-25T12:10:11.351Z Human vs. ChatGPT NFL Week 7 betting picks: Human clings to profit as AI claims third straight win Apparently, the robot doesn't even have to make money to beat me anymore. ChatGPT finished Week 6 at 2-2-1 and lost 0.16 units. I went 2-3 and lost 1.17 units. That's three straight weeks of GPT getting the better of me, although I'm not sure "congratulations on losing less money" is quite the victory speech it had in mind. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE The good news? I'm still profitable this season. The bad news? My profit is now 0.09 units. Yes, there's still a plus sign in front of my total, and I intend to keep pointing that out until someone makes me stop. I'm 15-14-1 through six weeks, while GPT is 13-16-1 and down 4.03 units. To make matters worse, the Chargers handed "Dan Z.'s plug your nose and hit place bet" pick its first loss of the season. That streak ends at four after Los Angeles managed six points against Kansas City. It's my own fault; and, I know I keep saying this, but this time I mean it: I am OFF the Chargers this season. Anyway, we're back for Week 7. I'd like to get back to winning money before my entire season profit disappears into a rounding error. Both of us get five selections from the same odds board, with a maximum price of -120. Odds were captured Saturday at 6 p.m. ET. The stakes are adjusted so every winning bet produces one unit of profit. For example, -110 requires risking 1.10 units, while +110 requires 0.91 units. A push returns the stake and counts as zero units. Before we get to the Week 7 picks, let’s review last week. The Bears-Falcons under was looking great until Ben Johnson started resting defensive starters in the fourth quarter. Atlanta promptly scored a touchdown and converted the two-point attempt. Chicago put the starters back in, and the Falcons scored another touchdown and another two-point conversion anyway. All they had to do was stop one two-point conversion and we hit. Lame. We don't need to talk about the Chargers or the Cowboys because they both stink. Those two are squarely on me (not every loss is my fault, you see). The Raiders stayed within the number in Buffalo, and Washington salvaged my Monday night with a six-point loss to San Francisco. When you're celebrating two teams losing football games, you know you've had a productive week. GPT went all-in on totals and got the full experience: two wins, two losses and a game that landed exactly on the number. DAN: 15-14-1, +0.09 units GPT: 13-16-1, -4.03 units Dan Z.’s Plug Your Nose and Hit 'Place Bet' Bet of the Week: 4-1, +2.90 units Cleveland Browns at Tennessee Titans, Sunday at 1 p.m. ET Dan’s analysis: This is the official "Dan Z.'s plug your nose and hit place bet" bet of the week. Because nothing says "I've learned from my mistakes" like following up a losing Chargers bet by taking the 1-5 Titans to win outright. But I don't think Cleveland is nearly as good as its 4-2 record suggests. Deshaun Watson has quietly been very bad, and the Browns keep escaping with late wins that cover up how poorly he's playing. Tennessee, meanwhile, has been competitive in three of its five losses and finally got a win last week. There's more fight here than people think. I'm getting plus money at home against a team I'm not buying. So, yes, we're doing this again. GPT’s analysis: Cleveland’s 4-2 record looks better than an offense averaging just 17.7 points per game, so I understand backing the home underdog. The Browns have repeatedly needed late recoveries, which makes them difficult to trust as road favorites. My concern is Tennessee’s ability to capitalize: Cam Ward faces a strong Cleveland pass defense, and the Titans have struggled to sustain offense themselves. At +112, Tennessee needs to win roughly 47% of the time to justify the price. I lean Cleveland -2, although neither side made my five. Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens, Sunday at 1 p.m. ET Dan’s analysis: Cincinnati needs to start establishing itself, and this is a pretty good opportunity. The Bengals are coming off a bye, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins have had extra time to get healthy, and Lamar Jackson has officially been ruled out. There aren't many excuses left. I think Cincinnati's improved defense should feast against a Baltimore offense that loses so much of what makes it dangerous without Lamar. On the other side, I'm trusting Joe Burrow and his receivers to take advantage. All I'm asking is for the Bengals to win by a field goal. They've certainly found ways to disappoint me before, but I'm going back. GPT’s analysis: We agree on this one. Cincinnati comes out of its bye without any injury game designations, while Baltimore will again start Tyler Huntley with Lamar Jackson ruled out. That gives the Bengals advantages in quarterback play, preparation and availability. My concern is Derrick Henry against Cincinnati’s uneven run defense, which gives Baltimore a way to stay competitive without asking Huntley to carry the offense. Still, Burrow is the quarterback I trust to produce the necessary scoring drives. Getting Cincinnati below three is the deciding factor: a field-goal win covers. This was my top selection. San Francisco 49ers at Atlanta Falcons, Sunday at 1 p.m. ET Dan’s analysis: The 49ers' injury report looks like a MASH unit. Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel are both out, and I don't see San Francisco deciding this is the week to start chucking the ball all over the field. I expect a lot of running, short passes and making Atlanta tackle people. I also think that's the kind of game Kyle Shanahan wants here. Getting into a track meet against an offense featuring Bijan Robinson and Drake London doesn't seem like the best plan with this many guys missing. Drag the Falcons into a slugfest, keep the clock moving and make every possession take forever. It might not be particularly fun to watch, but I've never required my winning bets to be entertaining. GPT’s analysis: San Francisco’s receiver injuries and both teams’ rushing tendencies give your under a credible foundation. Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel are out, and Atlanta getting A.J. Terrell back could further restrict the 49ers’ passing opportunities. My concern is that San Francisco can still generate efficient offense through Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle, while Atlanta’s defense has allowed at least 30 points in consecutive games. Missing receivers do not necessarily mean the 49ers will struggle to score. I understand the under, but Atlanta’s defensive vulnerability kept it outside my five. New York Giants at Houston Texans, Sunday at 1 p.m. ET Dan’s analysis: This game screams UNDER, so of course we're going with the OVER. Houston's defense has been exploitable this season and doesn't look like the unit we saw last year. J.J. McCarthy gives the Giants a little more juice, and I think he can help them put points on the board. Of course, he could also make a terrible decision that gives Houston a short field. For once, I'm in a position to appreciate either outcome. The Texans have scored at least 26 points in three straight games, and adding Marvin Harrison Jr. gives defenses another receiver to worry about besides Nico Collins. I think Houston keeps scoring, and the Giants contribute enough to get us over a pretty low number. NFL WEEK 6 SUNDAY TAKEAWAYS: GIANTS HAVE A NEW QB1, BILLS KEEP ROLLING AND SHANE STEICHEN IS ON THE HOT SEAT GPT’s analysis: The defensive injuries give your over a strong starting point. New York is missing Jevón Holland, Greg Newsome and Tremaine Edmunds, creating opportunities for C.J. Stroud. Houston is also without safeties Jalen Pitre and Reed Blankenship, giving the Giants a potential scoring route. My hesitation is J.J. McCarthy’s first Giants start: his late production against New Orleans came with the game already heavily tilted against New York. That does not establish that he can sustain touchdown drives against Houston’s pass rush. The over has a case, but uncertainty about the Giants’ contribution kept it off my card. Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions, Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET Dan’s analysis: I've been doubting the Packers, but at some point I have to stop arguing with a team that keeps winning. Beating my Cowboys pick last week certainly helped get my attention. I think Green Bay is the better team with the better coach, and I'm getting more than a field goal. Going on the road in the division is tough, but I actually like this offense on turf. Matthew Golden and Christian Watson can fly, and playing indoors gives them a chance to show it. Plus, Josh Jacobs is back. This offense doesn't need a dominant running game. It just needs enough production to make defenses respect it, and Jacobs should give them that. Give me the points. GPT’s analysis: Getting more than a field goal with Jordan Love against a Detroit defense allowing 29.6 points per game is appealing. Christian Watson and Matthew Golden are available, giving Green Bay the receiving options to exploit that matchup. My concern is the other side of the ball: the Packers are missing linebackers Zaire Franklin and Edgerrin Cooper, creating a difficult assignment against Jahmyr Gibbs. Detroit also has the preparation advantage coming out of its bye. This was one of the better sides I left out. The hook matters: a three-point Detroit win still cashes your ticket. For full transparency, I used GPT-6.1 Sol and set the thinking effort to Ultra (highest available). Then, I fed it the OddsChecker board as it appeared Saturday at 6 p.m. ET and gave it the following prompt: "Pick your five best bets for Week 7 based on the odds provided. No bet can be priced worse than -120. Review every spread, total and moneyline that falls within those parameters and determine whether it belongs among your five picks. Explain exactly why you’re selecting each of the five bets. Also explain exactly why you’re passing on the eligible bets you don’t select. Use at least 10 different sources for each game so you have a broad understanding of everything surrounding each game. Before delivering the results, do a fact-check and ensure that everything is correct." Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New Orleans Saints, Sunday at 9:30 a.m. ET in Paris GPT’s analysis: Pittsburgh ranks second in rushing DVOA, while New Orleans ranks last in rush-defense DVOA. That gives Jaylen Warren a favorable matchup and reduces the need for Aaron Rodgers to force throws downfield. T.J. Watt is available to challenge Tyler Shough. Pittsburgh’s late arrival in Paris and injuries elsewhere are concerns, but the rushing and defensive advantages outweigh them at this number. I prefer laying three to betting the total. A field-goal Pittsburgh win returns the stake. GPT’s projected score: Steelers 24, Saints 20 Dan’s analysis: The Saints have burned me enough this season that I understand the appeal of betting against them. Unfortunately, I still can't quite quit Tyler Shough and this offense. Apparently, I need to lose more money before I learn that lesson. I'm not backing New Orleans this week, but I'm not ready to lay points against them, either. I'll watch this one without a financial reason to be annoyed. Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens, Sunday at 1 p.m. ET GPT’s analysis: Cincinnati comes out of its bye without any injury game designations, while Baltimore will again start Tyler Huntley with Lamar Jackson ruled out. Joe Burrow gives the Bengals the quarterback advantage, and the extra preparation strengthens their case. Derrick Henry against Cincinnati’s uneven run defense is the biggest concern, especially if Baltimore can control possession and keep Burrow off the field. Still, Cincinnati has the healthier roster and more dependable passing offense. The number makes this my top selection: a three-point Bengals victory covers. GPT’s projected score: Bengals 27, Ravens 20 Dan’s analysis: Obviously, we're together on this one. Cincinnati is coming off a bye, Lamar is out, and we only need the Bengals to win by a field goal. I like the setup for all the reasons I already laid out. If Cincinnati finds a way to screw this up, at least the robot and I can complain about it together next week. Indianapolis Colts at Minnesota Vikings, Sunday at 1 p.m. ET GPT’s analysis: Minnesota allows just 12.8 points per game, and its pressure-heavy defense presents a difficult assignment for Daniel Jones without Tyler Warren. Indianapolis also loses Sauce Gardner, weakening its coverage as Minnesota gets Jordan Addison and T.J. Hockenson back. The Vikings’ own offensive inefficiency is the biggest concern, while Jonathan Taylor gives Indianapolis a way to stay competitive. However, Minnesota’s defensive advantage, extra preparation and improving availability make this a favorable matchup. At -105, I’m comfortable laying less than a touchdown. A seven-point win covers. GPT’s projected score: Vikings 24, Colts 16 Dan’s analysis: I don't know why, but I have a sneaky feeling the Colts are going to show up on Sunday. Probably not enough to win, but enough to make laying nearly a touchdown uncomfortable. Indianapolis just missed my card. GPT has plenty of reasonable arguments here, and I have a feeling. We'll see how that works out. Denver Broncos at Arizona Cardinals, Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET GPT’s analysis: Denver and Arizona average just 4.4 and 4.6 yards per play, respectively, and neither offense consistently creates explosive gains. Arizona is also without Jeremiyah Love. The biggest concerns are Arizona’s vulnerable pass defense giving Bo Nix a breakthrough opportunity and Denver missing Talanoa Hufanga with Pat Surtain questionable. Still, both passing offenses have struggled enough that ordinary stalled possessions can keep this below the number. I prefer the under to asking Denver’s limited offense to cover more than a field goal. GPT’s projected score: Broncos 23, Cardinals 17 Dan’s analysis: I looked at this under but ultimately passed. Arizona moved the ball against the Rams last week; it just kept settling for field goals. The Cardinals also got an unusually strong performance from a defense that has given up plenty of points this season, and I'm not ready to trust that happening again. Denver's offense isn't great, but it should be able to score against Arizona. I see enough ways for this to get over the number to stay away. Kansas City Chiefs at Seattle Seahawks, Sunday at 8:20 p.m. ET GPT’s analysis: Kansas City leads the league at 6.7 offensive yards per play, while its defense can challenge a Seattle offense struggling to establish the run. That gives the Chiefs a credible path to keeping this close or winning outright. Seattle’s extra rest, home field and strong four-man pass rush are substantial concerns, particularly with Kansas City missing Rashee Rice and Jaylon Moore.

It has been a bit of a wild season already. Some teams that were struggling were picked to be great this season, and some teams that were picked to be bad are already exceeding expectations. The Chargers were expected to be strong this year, but they’ve been terrible. The Browns, on the other hand, have been surprisingly good, and they take on the Titans this afternoon. The Cleveland Browns come into this game at 4-2 for the season, but both of their losses have come on the road this season. The first loss was to the Jaguars in the first game of the season, and the Browns looked like a complete disaster. They ran off three straight wins over the Buccaneers, Panthers, and Steelers. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Then they had to face the Jets and couldn’t get much going on offense. They lost that game 17-12, not scoring a touchdown. Last week, they won at the buzzer against the Ravens. After trading away their best defensive player, the outlook for the season was a bit low, but their defense has been surprisingly good. They are only allowing 20.3 points per game to opponents. They are eighth in the league in passing defense. The running defense hasn’t been exactly good either. They have 112.3 rushing yards allowed per game to opponents, but the Titans aren’t a really good running team, so this might not be much of an issue. The bigger question is if Deshaun Watson can figure out the Titans' defense. The Tennessee Titans are coming off their first victory of the season. This one was a disappointment for me because I had the Colts in the game, but they p----- away the game. The Titans are not a very good football team, but they do deserve credit for finding a way to get the game across the finish line. They took the lead, then instantly gave up the lead. On the ensuing possession, a pass interference call gave them great field position, and they took a field goal lead. They added another, and the Colts lost the game. I may have phrased it wrong; the Colts lost it, but the Titans won the game. They started the season with a loss to the Jets. Then they lost to the Eagles, Giants, Ravens, and Texans. Three of those five losses were by one score, though. Perhaps the goal for the Titans this year is how to figure out winning close games. I suppose either way, it should be viewed as a step in the correct direction. They don’t necessarily win games, but at least they aren’t getting blown out, and they are being competitive. Their defense is in the bottom half of the league in terms of running yards allowed, but the Browns don’t really have a great running game either. The passing defense is about middle of the pack. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE The Browns and Titans are teams that most people would look at and be excited about, but both of them are trying to turn their franchises around. The Browns are at the top of their division. The Titans are still at the bottom of their division, but at least competitive. It would be surprising to see this as anything but a defensive battle. However, I do think the Browns will win this game and we should take them on the moneyline at -130. They have the better defense, and I do think their offense will have just enough of an edge, but this might be sweaty.

The league reserves one of the best matchups of the week to put in that slot, and they’ve done that for us this week. One of the things I like most about this game is that we see two of the past three Super Bowl champions taking each other on as the Chiefs take on the Seahawks. The Kansas City Chiefs had a disaster of a season last year, and honestly, I was one of the people who counted them out quite a bit this season. Last year they looked old, disjointed, disinterested, and overall bad. This season, the Chiefs have found a way to a 5-0 record, but their bye week has already passed, which makes me think they will lose some games late in the season. It gets harder to win as the games start piling up, and those later bye weeks help to heal injuries. So far, though, the team looks great, and the offense seems back to normal after a down year last season. Patrick Mahomes is back from an ACL tear suffered late last season. Mahomes has 1,309 passing yards, nine touchdowns, and three interceptions for the season. Their biggest addition was Kenneth Walker III, who is averaging about 6 yards per carry, and he has six touchdowns on the ground. The dynamic of a tough running game keeps the defense guessing, and that’s really all the Chiefs need to be deadly. The passing defense hasn’t been elite this season, but the rushing defense has been very good. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! The Seattle Seahawks have struggled a bit this season and are just 3-3 coming into the game. Sam Darnold looks like he is back to making bad decisions. He has 1,033 passing yards, seven touchdowns, and seven interceptions for the season. His most recent was against the Broncos last week, and he threw an interception in overtime, which, for all intents and purposes, gave Denver the victory. This was the third loss in four weeks for Seattle. They do get a bit of an advantage because they played Thursday last week, so they have a bit of extra rest. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE None of the losses for Seattle are bad. All three are by three points or fewer. Their running game has been almost non-existent this season, especially compared to last year. Jaxon Smith-Njigba is still one of the best in the league, and he has hauled in seven touchdowns this year. Still, the Seahawks can’t be that one-dimensional. Their wins this year have been against a Patriots team that looked awful in Week 1 – with Drew Lock coming in for Darnold early in the game. Then they beat a Cardinals team that is mediocre, and the Charges who haven’t won at all. WHY DEFENDING SUPER BOWL CHAMPION SEATTLE SEAHAWKS COULD STRUGGLE TO MATCH LAST SEASON'S 14-3 RECORD The lone loss the Seahawks have taken at home this season was against the 49ers. I’m not believing that the Chiefs will go 17-0, but I do think the team will win this game. Their defense has been very good, but more importantly, the offense looks like it is back to being unique. Seattle has a strong rushing defense, but Walker is probably on a mission to show the Seahawks what they are missing. Seattle has the best passing defense, so the under makes a ton of sense as well. I’ll put a half unit on the Chiefs to win and a half unit on the under.

Decker recently released "The Secret Sauce: A Family Cookbook Seasoned with Love," which she wrote with her mother, Karen Parker, and sister Sydney Rae Bass. The cookbook draws on the family's Southern, Sicilian and Cajun roots, bringing together recipes and traditions passed down through generations and shared at family gatherings. It includes everything from weeknight meals and game-day dishes to holiday recipes and desserts. CELEBRITY CHEF SAYS PEOPLE HAVE SOUTHERN FOOD ALL WRONG, SHARES WHAT HER FAMILY ATE For Jessie James Decker, food is closely connected to both family and faith. The singer and author told Fox News Digital that her Catholic faith has long played an important role in her family, something she credits her mother with passing down. "Faith has always been a big part of my life and our lives," Jessie James Decker said. She said her mother taught the family to turn to prayer during both difficult and joyful seasons of life. CELEBRITY CHEF SAYS MILITARY LESSON IS KEY TO KEEPING FAMILIES TOGETHER "You just have to trust in Him, because His plan is so much greater than you could ever imagine," Jessie James Decker said. Those values also carry into life at home with her husband, former NFL wide receiver Eric Decker, and their four children. One of the family's traditions is sitting down together for dinner, with electronics put away, so everyone has a chance to catch up. "It's not even that hard to get rid of the electronics when it's time for dinner because we want to talk to each other," Jessie James Decker said.

"I just get such pride, such joy from making food to nourish their bodies and fill their tummies," Jessie James Decker said. Her children have already developed their own favorites from her kitchen. Daughter Vivi loves seafood gumbo, while sons Eric and Forrest enjoy her pasta dishes. Her youngest, Denver, is also a gumbo fan, Jessie James Decker said. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ Eric Decker's favorite is her chicken pot pie, while steak, salads and balsamic green beans are among other dishes that make their way onto the family table. Her husband's football background has also shaped some of their food traditions. On game days, Jessie James Decker said she typically makes chili, barbecue meatballs and some type of dip, occasionally adding wings to the spread. "Every game day we definitely get after it," she said. That mix of family recipes, traditions and memories helped shape "The Secret Sauce," which Decker said is ultimately about more than what is being served. "The secret sauce is just the love and joy that you put into cooking, and it's not just about the food," she said.

So why is it still afraid to say who is a woman? te 2026-10-25T12:10:08.096Z ENES KANTER FREEDOM: The WNBA says I'm a man. So why is it still afraid to say who is a woman? Ladies and gentlemen, we finally have an answer from the WNBA. Sort of. After months of questions about who is eligible to compete in women's professional basketball, WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert has declared in an official letter that I am not eligible to play in the league. WNBA TELLS CONGRESS THAT ENES KANTER FREEDOM, ROYCE WHITE ARE ‘BOTH MEN’ IN ELIGIBILITY DISPUTE Why? Because Cuckoo Cathy identified me as a man. I was as shocked as you probably are to learn that a league that can't define what a woman is can so confidently identify a man. But apparently, telling me I can't play wasn't enough. Now, the WNBA doesn't even want me in the stands as a paying customer. On Wednesday night, I traveled to Atlanta to attend Game 3 of the WNBA Finals. I purchased premium courtside tickets, just like any other basketball fan. But when I arrived, I was informed that I would not be allowed to sit in the seats I purchased. Instead, they decided I would have to watch the game from a private suite and enter through a private entrance, supposedly for my safety. ENES KANTER FREEDOM GOES SCORCHED EARTH ON LEBRON JAMES, NBA WITH NEW REVELATIONS AFTER WNBA FINALS INCIDENT I appreciate the concern for my safety. But I have spent years speaking out against authoritarian regimes that have threatened my life and my family. I am certainly not going to hide in a luxury suite because my presence makes someone uncomfortable. I wanted to sit in the seats I paid for, watch the game, and continue standing up for women in sports. But when I refused to be moved out of sight, security denied me entry. I was escorted away from the arena. For the second time, I was prevented from attending a WNBA game while speaking up for women. The WNBA is apparently more comfortable removing me from its arena than answering the questions I am asking. And those questions begin with Commissioner Engelbert's response to Congressman Marlin Stutzman of Indiana. In her letter, she wrote, "only women are eligible to play in the WNBA and the individuals you cite in your letter are both men." Notice what she did not say. ENES FREEDOM LEAVES WNBA FINALS AFTER SPARRING WITH POLICE OVER SEATING CHANGE AMID SECURITY CONCERNS She did not say that biological males are categorically ineligible to compete in the WNBA. She did not establish a biological standard for eligibility. She simply declared that I am a man and therefore cannot play. Who gave Commissioner Engelbert the authority to determine my identity? What standards did she use to make that determination? And if she can so confidently identify me as a man, why can't the WNBA apply that same clarity to the question of who qualifies as a woman? You cannot have it both ways. The WNBA has reportedly assembled a task force to examine its eligibility policies. Yet we still have no publicly available, definitive policy establishing whether biological males who identify as women can compete in the league. A task force. Meetings. Discussions. And still no clear answer to one of the most basic questions a women's sports league should be able to answer. The women who have spent their entire lives training to compete at the highest level of their sport deserve to know that the rules protecting their opportunities will be applied fairly and consistently. And before that can happen, the rules must be clear. WNBA HAS 'NO IDEA WHAT THEY'RE ABOUT TO FACE,' ENES KANTER FREEDOM SAYS AS LEAGUE TAKES ON TRANS ATHLETE ISSUE That is why I am pursuing the opportunity to compete under the WNBA's rules. I have played professional basketball at the highest level, and I am prepared to pursue a place on a team. If the league believes I am ineligible, it should be able to identify the specific, consistently applied standard that disqualifies me. Instead, the WNBA has created a contradiction. The league knows I should not compete against women. It is willing to say so publicly. Yet it has not clearly explained whether the same biological considerations would disqualify another male athlete who identifies as a woman. Is the league afraid of offending activists? Is it more concerned about political backlash than protecting its own athletes? Or does it simply want to leave the door open for exceptions while keeping someone like me out because I am willing to challenge its reasoning? WNBA COMMISSIONER CATHY ENGELBERT BLAMES THE WRONG PEOPLE FOR ‘SOWING DIVISIVENESS’ IN TRANSGENDER DEBATE I cannot tell you what is happening behind closed doors. But I can tell you what the public has been given. A task force that has produced no clear public standard. A commissioner who can declare who is a man without explaining how she reaches that conclusion. And now, a league that would rather move a vocal fan out of public view than allow him to sit in the seats he purchased. But this fight is about something much bigger than my eligibility or where I sit at a basketball game. It is about freedom. It is about fairness. And it is about the right to have your voice heard, especially when those in power would prefer your silence. ROYCE WHITE EXPLORING LEGAL AVENUES AFTER WNBA TELLS CONGRESS HE IS INELIGIBLE TO PLAY I know what it means to live under a government that punishes people for speaking their minds. I know what it means to have your freedom threatened because you refuse to remain silent. My criticism of authoritarianism has come at a tremendous personal cost, including separation from my family. That is why, when I earned my American citizenship, I changed my last name to Freedom. That was not a publicity stunt. It was a declaration of gratitude, conviction and pride in my country. The fight to preserve freedom became part of my identity. I believe every woman who steps onto a basketball court deserves the opportunity to compete fairly. I believe female athletes deserve to have their concerns heard, even when their opinions are unpopular. And I believe no athlete should feel pressured to sacrifice her convictions to protect her career. Those are freedoms worth defending. REPUBLICAN LAWMAKER BELIEVES THE WNBA SHOULD ADOPT THE OLYMPIC STANDARD FOR WOMEN’S SPORTS Meanwhile, as this debate unfolds, players from the Golden State Valkyries and Atlanta Dream have been running off the court before the national anthem, returning shortly after it concludes. I understand that Americans have the freedom to protest. That is one of the things that makes this country extraordinary. But it brings us back to the distinction between having a right and being right. America is not perfect, and it never has been. But this is also a nation where women have fought for and won opportunities that generations before them could scarcely imagine, including the opportunity to become professional athletes, compete on a national stage, and build careers playing the sport they love. When I see athletes walk away from the American flag and an anthem that honors the costly battles fought for our freedom, I see an opportunity being missed. Those freedoms made their opportunities possible, and those opportunities deserve respect and protection. There is a painful irony in watching players leave the court rather than stand for our anthem while the league responsible for protecting their competition seems equally determined to avoid taking a stand on fairness. WNBA ANTHEM CONTROVERSY SPARKS CALLS TO BAR PLAYERS WHO DON'T STAND FROM TEAM USA'S OLYMPIC ROSTER And now, when I show up to ask questions and stand up for those principles, the league wants me out of sight, too. Freedom requires courage. So does fairness. Both demand that we defend principles even when doing so makes people uncomfortable. It requires us to stay in the arena and confront difficult questions about what is true and just rather than running away because we don't like the fight. I have spent much of my life fighting for people whose voices powerful institutions would rather silence. I am not going to stop now simply because the institution in question happens to be a professional basketball league. I am grateful to Congressman Stutzman for demanding answers, and I am glad Commissioner Engelbert finally responded. But her letter raises more questions than it answers. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION If I am ineligible because she says I am a man, then say plainly whether all biological males are ineligible for the same reason. If biological sex is not the determining factor, explain what is. And if the WNBA believes women's sports deserve protection, establish a clear, consistent policy that actually protects them. The WNBA can deny me a spot on the court. It can deny me the seats I purchased. It can even escort me out of the arena. Again. But it cannot make me stop asking questions. And it cannot make me stop fighting for the women whose opportunities, voices, and freedoms deserve to be protected. I did not change my last name to Freedom because I wanted to avoid uncomfortable fights. I changed it because I know how precious freedom is and how easily it can be lost when people are afraid to defend what they know is right. The question now is whether Commissioner Engelbert and the WNBA are willing to do the same. The WNBA has made one thing clear: it is convinced that I am a man. The question now is whether Commissioner Engelbert and the WNBA are willing to tell America what makes someone a woman.

A recent Fox News poll found that 48% of Americans ages 18 to 34 viewed socialism favorably, compared with 32% of Americans overall. When Fox News Digital asked more than a dozen University of Michigan students to define socialism, their answers ranged from government-funded safety nets and affordable health care to collective ownership of industry. "If the definition was more widely known, people would support it less honestly," one student, Ahnika, told Fox News Digital. Other students acknowledged the confusion, while at least a dozen declined to be interviewed on camera because they said they did not know enough about socialism to give an informed answer. THE NUMBERS DON’T LIE. YOUNG AMERICANS ARE FALLING IN LOVE … WITH SOCIALISM "Absolutely. I feel like many people don't really understand, I feel, the full grasp or scope of what socialism really means," a student named Owen told Fox News Digital. "I think they kind of have a more idealistic image of it." The divide over what socialism actually means comes as the ideology becomes an increasingly prominent issue in American politics, including Michigan's closely watched Senate contest, where Republicans have sought to tie Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed to socialism – despite his rejection of the label. Socialism? It's a safety net Some of the students interviewed used the word socialism as a way to describe a government that spends more money on subsidizing healthcare, housing or other basic necessities. "It's an economic system in which the resources of the government … are allocated into public services such as housing, affordable housing, food like food banks, education, things like that," James, one student, told Fox News Digital. "Socialism to me is a concept in politics where everybody gets a little bit of everything. Everybody benefits and everybody is really taken care of. Kind of that social net that you see in other types of politics," Kayla, another student, said. "It's a political system where less social goods are delivered by the market than in capitalism," said her fellow student, Sam. Republicans and centrist Democrats have both raised concerns about the rising tide of socialism, while young people turn to it as a solution to the cost of living. "Does the socialism thing scare me? Yes. Is it the wrong solution? Yes," Vice President JD Vance said in a July interview. "But one thing I try to persuade my fellow Republicans of is socialism is the alternative if we don’t have a pathway to give people a sense that the system is not rigged and that the American dream is attainable." While the precise definition of socialism is debated by economists and philosophers, the ideology generally calls for replacing private ownership of major productive assets with some form of public, collective or worker ownership, though socialists differ sharply over whether that control should be exercised through the government, workers themselves or other institutions. Modern socialism emerged as a major political and economic movement in 19th-century Europe, fueled by concerns over wealth inequality, industrial working conditions and the concentration of economic power in private hands. A fair number of the students who spoke with Fox News Digital had understandings of socialism more in line with this traditional definition. EL-SAYED REVEALS HE WOULD GO ‘STEP FURTHER’ THAN SANDERS ON SOCIALIST PLAN FOR MAJOR US INDUSTRY Or is it government control? "It's an economic system where certain aspects [of the economy] are controlled by the government such as health care, possibly housing, agriculture, general necessities," Owen said. "It's distinct from communism in that the government does not have free rein over every aspect of the market, but it's not the same as capitalism where the free market determines everything." How far government control should extend has long divided socialists. Some advocate government ownership of nearly all major industries, while others favor worker-owned businesses amid a mix of public and private enterprise. "I guess I would define it as an economic system where resources are shared in a more, in a somewhat equitable sense, and there's some level of, you know, public control of that," Zack, also a student at the university, told Fox News Digital. "It’s not really any more specific than that, socialism is a broad term, you know?" While some young Americans associate socialism with government control of private businesses, an idea that has long faced resistance in American politics, the ideology has gained support among younger voters, even as they differ over what it would mean in practice. The Democratic Socialists of America, which advocates replacing capitalism with a more collectively controlled economy, has seen its ranks swell with members and notched a series of electoral victories during the second Trump administration. "I'd say I define socialism by the government taking collective ownership of companies’ production and distribution of goods," student Ahnika told Fox News Digital. "As far as I’m aware, it’s about like workers and members of society owning the product … as opposed to capitalism where you make the product, if you work on an assembly line, the product goes to your manager or whoever runs the factory and then they make most of the profit off of your work," Noah, also a student, told Fox News Digital. Maybe it's Canada? Others defined socialism in relation to countries or politicians. "Mostly I think of Canada when I think of socialism," Samantha, another student, told Fox News Digital. Elyse, her peer, said that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani comes to mind when thinking of a definition for socialism. LIBERAL-CITY RESIDENT HESITATES WHEN PRESSED ON BELIEFS: 'I HADN'T REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT SOCIALISM THAT WAY' The University of Michigan’s student body isn’t alone in its division over the definition of socialism. Gallup found in 2018 that 23% of Americans thought the word meant "equality, including equal rights, standing or distribution," while 10% defined it as "provision of benefits and services, such as health care," 6% said it was "communism or a modified version of it" and further 6% understood it to be "being social or getting along with others." Roughly a quarter of respondents had no opinion on the definition of socialism, and just 17% described it as "government ownership or control of businesses and the economy," the definition typically favored by economists. Michigan, where many of the students interviewed vote, could easily decide control of Congress following November’s midterm elections. Socialism is a major issue in the race, with Republicans attempting to portray Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed as a socialist — a label he rejects despite a long-running association with the Democratic Socialists of America. At least a dozen students told Fox News Digital that they were not comfortable filming an interview because they did not feel they knew enough about socialism to give an informed response, further highlighting the degree of confusion surrounding the term among young people. LIBERAL HOT SPOT RESIDENTS CAN’T AGREE ON WHAT SOCIALISM MEANS AS FAR-LEFT MOVEMENTS GAINS STEAM While the students couldn’t agree on what socialism meant, they did agree that their peers were confused. "Yeah, I mean there's sort of a general idea of an equitable distribution of resources, but other than that, in terms of how it should be done, um like what it actually looks like, how power is distributed, there's a lot of open questions there," said Zach. "Yeah, absolutely. There's a huge misconception about socialism, even capitalism as well," a student named Jeff told Fox News Digital. "So I think these terms in the broader space of political thought are probably allegories depending on your political orientation for good or bad … that's probably the most ubiquitous use of that term. ‘Socialism bad, capitalism good,’ or vice versa if you're a progressive." THE MEDICARE FOR ALL TRADE-OFFS SOCIALISTS AREN'T TALKING ABOUT, ACCORDING TO EXPERTS Other students felt their peers were too quick to define socialism in relation to other political systems. "I would say some people would compare socialism to communism as being practically identical, whereas others would just understand it as having a stronger social safety net like in like Nordic countries," Sam said, noting that he doesn’t feel there is a right or wrong definition for the word. "Yeah, I feel like a lot of people don't really understand what socialism is," Tommy, another student, said. "I feel like they think that sometimes it's communism and they conflate the two. So I feel like people need to educate themselves on what the concept actually is." One student felt that, if more people understood socialism to imply government ownership of industry, the system would be significantly less popular. "I honestly think there’s a bit of confusion … If the definition was more widely known, people would support it less honestly," Ahnika said. "Rather than having a good understanding of what socialism is, people often try to antagonize the opposite end of the spectrum, which is private ownership." Not everyone felt that the ambiguity surrounding the term was necessarily a bad thing, however. "I think having complex definitions of things only encourages conversation and when those conversations can be productive and when we approach them in a productive way I think we only uh strengthen what can be the collective definition of stuff like socialism," Elyse told Fox News Digital.

Drew opened up about meeting her husband while leading worship at a Christian youth camp nearly three decades ago. The actress, who has been married to Peter Lanfer for 24 years, credited their shared faith and strong partnership with helping her navigate the highs and lows of Hollywood. Drew and Lanfer married in 2002 and have two children. "He's been my steady rock really and safe haven – since way before I had any success in this industry," Drew told Fox News Digital while promoting her upcoming movie, "Jimmy." ‘CHARLIE’S ANGELS’ STAR JACLYN SMITH LIVED APART FROM HER HUSBAND FOR 17 YEARS DURING THEIR 35-YEAR LOVE STORY "And we have been real partners in parenting and in being humans in this world together," she added. "And I think anytime one of us is feeling shaky, the other one is always able to provide a safe harbor and some real like rock-solid strength for the other. So, I do think probably he's my greatest grounding force." Drew described the entertainment industry as an unpredictable business that can celebrate an actor one moment and discard that person the next, explaining why she refuses to let Hollywood determine her self-worth. "I think that it's very easy for Hollywood to tell you who you are. And what I mean by that is, they love you one second, they've forgotten you the next. You're gorgeous one second. They're tearing you to pieces the next. You're working all the time one second, all of a sudden, you're not working anymore, and you don't know what's going on. You never know when you're gonna work again. There is no stability anywhere." Drew said the industry's constant uncertainty makes it difficult for actors to find a sense of stability in their careers. GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE "There is no place to be grounded in Hollywood. It just doesn't exist," she explained. "We are players to the whims of whoever is making the thing at the certain time and whoever's decided who's interesting or not, and I can't do anything about that." "If I were not sure that my identity was firmly rooted first as a child of God, whose total identity is so much bigger than just who I am as an actress, if I wasn't rooted in that truth — and I know that truth to my cellular level and in my bones — I could so easily get caught up in the highs and think I'm God's gift to the Earth and then fall so miserably into I am absolutely worthless based on how Hollywood has decided to value me at any given time," she added. Drew said her faith has helped her maintain a strong sense of identity beyond her career, reminding her that being a child of God, a wife, a mother and a friend matters more than her success as an actress. Drew stars in "Jimmy," a biographical drama scheduled for nationwide theatrical release Nov. 6. The film follows actor James Stewart's military service, his struggles upon returning to Hollywood and his eventual comeback in the 1946 Christmas classic "It's a Wonderful Life," directed by Frank Capra. Drew stars as Hedda Hopper, one of Hollywood's most influential and feared gossip columnists. "18 months before we started shooting, Aaron Burns …reached out to me and told me that he'd gotten the rights and had a script for this movie, ‘Jimmy,’ that he was gonna make about this incredibly important time in Jimmy's life. And I've always been a huge fan of Jimmy Stewart," she said. Drew said Burns told her he wanted her to play Hedda Hopper, but she didn't know much about the gossip columnist. Burns told her about "this formidable and complicated person." Drew said she doesn't "generally get the opportunity to play roles like this, so I said yes before I got off the phone, before I read the script." LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS The "Supernatural" star's Christian faith has also influenced her decision to turn down acting opportunities. While Drew isn't opposed to exploring difficult subjects onscreen, she said she has rejected projects that she believed lacked a meaningful message. "I have turned down jobs because I'm like, I don't know what we're supposed to walk away from this feeling," Drew explained. "I don't see any hope. I only see cynicism. Then I'm not interested." Drew said she has always been drawn to stories that offer something meaningful rather than leaving audiences feeling hopeless. "I just don't understand choosing something that is only going to make people feel darker or more devastated or more hopeless, like those kinds of things," she said. "And I think that that does very much stem from my faith and from my sense of the story that sort of bubbles through my life and has all through my upbringing. And through my adult life and as a parent and as a friend and all of these things, is that I want there to be hope associated with everything that I touch or am a part of – something that you can really like look toward as a beacon of goodness in some ways." That philosophy also plays a central role in how Drew evaluates potential projects, a process she said often involves conversations with her husband. Rather than focusing on the prestige or financial rewards of a project, Drew said the couple first considers whether the story is one she wants to tell. PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE "It almost never is about what I might get paid, how fancy the project is, what network it's going to be on," she explained. "Those things are absolutely secondary to the first question, which is, 'Do you want to tell the story? Is this story that you think is going to resonate with people?'" "I find that the stories that I'm drawn to are the ones that help people feel less alone and where someone can see themselves in a story," Drew said. "They can pick a redemption arc or a restoration arc and feel a little less alone. And they might laugh and cry and think on their way through the story of it, but at the end of it, they're like, 'Me too. I've also been through something like that. I know what that feeling is, and I feel a little less burdened and a little less alone because I have this opportunity to have this cathartic experience in a way that made me feel seen.'" Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6addf19df04c506ce1bfd65d Fugitive mom wanted in daughter’s Arizona murder used cartels to hide for years before capture in Mexico: feds te 2026-10-25T12:10:05.433Z Fugitive mom wanted in daughter’s Arizona murder used cartels to hide for years before capture in Mexico: feds Nearly 30 years after the death of her 3-year-old daughter, a mother has been arrested in Mexico by U.S. law enforcement officers on first-degree murder charges. Anna Marlene Somoza, 60, was arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service after more than 12 years as a fugitive in Mexico. Her close connections to cartels allowed her to avoid apprehension, authorities said. Somoza will be extradited to the United States to face charges for allegedly murdering her daughter, Crystal Reyes, according to the U.S. Marshals Service. MAN ACCUSED OF KILLING PARTNER ARRESTED IN MEXICO NEARLY TWO YEARS AFTER FLEEING WITH THEIR TWO CHILDREN Before her death, Reyes was subjected to severe abuse, torture and starvation, the agency said. Confined to a small dog kennel, Reyes was bound by her hands and feet, gagged and left for weeks at a time. On Jan. 30, 1997, Reyes was bound, suffocated with a towel taped to her face, and left to die inside a sealed cardboard box, the agency said. DNA TECHNOLOGY LEADS TO ARREST IN 1988 KILLING OF ORLANDO WOMAN AFTER NEARLY FOUR DECADES Authorities began investigating after human bone fragments were found in a deserted area of Arizona by a hunter in November 1998. Almost two decades passed. Then in August 2014, forensic DNA analysis identified the fragments of bone as remains of Reyes. FORENSIC GENEALOGY UNMASKS COLD CASE SUSPECT AS STRANGLER, SEXUAL PREDATOR DECADES LATER: OFFICIALS Detectives interviewed the child’s biological father and confirmed her identity using his DNA. Then, they said, they had sufficient grounds to charge Somoza and Avelino Tamala, her boyfriend at the time of Reyes’ death, with first-degree murder in December 2014. Tamala was found guilty of Crystal’s murder in 2016. He was sentenced to life in prison. DRUG CARTEL KINGPIN AMONG TARGETS IN SWEEPING TRUMP CRACKDOWN ON ALLEGED MEXICAN CORRUPTION NETWORK But Somoza had been deported years earlier. Somoza had an extensive criminal history before being charged in her daughter’s death. She had been connected to a major transnational drug trafficking network active along the southern Arizona border throughout the 1980s and 1990s. After her 1993 arrest for the sale and transportation of marijuana, she agreed to act as a confidential informant for an Arizona law enforcement agency. Through that, she met Tamala, a narcotics detective, and began "an improper romantic relationship," according to the U.S. Marshals Service. SAN JOSE GIRL, 8, DIES AFTER LIVING IN COCKROACH-INFESTED HOME AS MOTHER, STEPFATHER FACE CHARGES Not long after Reyes’ birth in Mexico in 1993, the mother and daughter began living with Tamala in Arizona, according to the agency. Tamala was not the father of Reyes. The abuse Reyes endured likely wasn’t caught because she wasn’t attending school, said Stacy Vaughan, vice president of growth and prevention at Childhelp, a child abuse prevention organization. "The majority of reports come from the education system in our country, from teachers, counselors, schools," Vaughan told Fox News Digital. But a case like this may be prevented with the modern legislation in the United States, she said. "In the past 20 years, many states have passed laws not only mandating that professionals report any suspected abuse, but…every adult over the age of 18 is considered a mandated reporter." In 1999, the year after Reyes’ remains were found, Somoza and Tamala were arrested on drug- and weapon-related charges. Somoza served eight years in federal prison and was deported in 2008. After the child’s remains were connected to her as the mother in 2014, investigators from five state and federal agencies began to search for her. She’d "taken deliberate and extensive measures to evade detection by law enforcement while remaining at large," according to a statement from the U.S. Marshals Service. FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X In October 2022, authorities obtained an arrest warrant that would allow them to extradite her back to the United States. But they still needed to find her. In 2026, the search for Somoza was designated a major case, "dedicating additional manpower and resources to the investigation," according to the U.S. Marshals Service. In early September, the agency learned that Somoza was "actively evading detection" in Cuernavaca, Mexico, the agency said.

Many thought the Chiefs' title window was closed, but they are 5-0 for the year and might be successful after all. The Seahawks won last year, but a 3-3 start has a lot of people doubting how good they can be this year.  Guiding the Chiefs is a healed Patrick Mahomes. Last season, he struggled and ended the year by tearing his ACL. There seems to be no issue with his legs, as he has scrambled and moved well in the pocket. He still doesn’t seem to have a truly elite receiving option, but he makes do with an older but still reliable Travis Kelce. The addition of Kenneth Walker III has made all of the offense more diverse and opened a bit more space for Mahomes to find receivers.  The Seattle Seahawks are led by Sam Darnold. His season started poorly with an injury in the first game of the year. However, he returned to action the next week. He is either hurt or back to making poor decisions. Darnold has thrown seven interceptions this season and just seven touchdowns. He has cost his team at least one game, as last week he threw an interception in overtime that allowed the Broncos to almost immediately be in field goal position. It doesn’t help that their running game is almost nonexistent.  Which quarterback will have the edge in this one? Will Darnold avoid costly turnovers? Will Mahomes figure out a way to attack the best passing defense in football? Make the call with Underdog and wager $10 to earn $50 in bonuses when using promo code FOXNEWS.

The international games continue today with the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints squaring off in France. The two teams are on very different trajectories with the Steelers coming into the game with a 4-2 record. The Saints are sitting at 2-4 for the season and have dropped a few close games.  Pittsburgh is looking like one of the better teams in the league. Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy reuniting seems to have worked out, but there are still questions about just how good this team is. Their two losses were to the Patriots and Browns, and both were on the road. They did beat their foes, the Bengals, and they came back from down big to beat the Buccaneers last week.  The New Orleans Saints have not been able to put together a consistent offense for the entirety of a game. They show flashes of being great, and other moments where they struggle significantly. They lost their first game of the season to the Lions, but the 4th quarter was successful, getting them back in the game before they lost in overtime. They dropped three straight games to the Raiders, Falcons, and Vikings. They looked okay in most of those, but the defense also gave up a total of 103 points in those three games.  Now the teams head to Paris to face each other. Will the Saints have an answer on defense, and can their offense be more effective than just one or two quarters? Will the Steelers road woes stay in America or come with them to France?  Make the call with Fanatics Sportsbook on this game or any other.

There are plenty of great matchups today, but one worth playing takes place early in the day as the 49ers take on the Falcons. The best team in the NFL heads to Atlanta, looking to remain perfect. On the other side, the Falcons are looking to try and get closer to .500 after having a very different season.  The San Francisco 49ers are 6-0 with one of the best offenses and defenses in football. It doesn’t look like they will slow down any time soon. Brock Purdy is playing like an MVP. George Kittle has been elite and looks like he is turning back the clock. Christian McCaffrey already has seven touchdowns on the ground and continues to chew up yardage as one of the most versatile backs in the league. Most of all, the team seems to be healthy, which is not something they could say in previous years.  The Atlanta Falcons enter the game with a 2-4 record and inconsistent quarterback play at best. In their defense, Cooper Rush has been the starter a couple of times, and he didn’t play very well, so that put the Falcons behind the 8-ball, so to speak. Michael Penix Jr. has been good, for the most part, but last game he struggled to figure out the Bears' defense. Eventually, the team got there, but it was too little, too late for the Falcons. They dropped their second straight game and are now on the verge of losing three straight and really hindering their playoff chances. Can the 49ers stay perfect for the season, or will the Falcons throw a wrench into their plans? Can Penix Jr. figure out one of the better defenses in the league, or will San Francisco stop the inconsistent Falcons?  Odds are subject to change Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6addecf1f04c506ce1bfd3b7 Underdog Promo Code FOXNEWS: Play $10, Get $50 on Any NFL Week 7 Matchup te 2026-10-25T11:50:09.390Z Underdog Promo Code FOXNEWS: Play $10, Get $50 on Any NFL Week 7 Matchup With 12 games awaiting us on Sunday, there is no lack of opportunities for us sports bettors to find a game we love.

However, there is reason for optimism for both teams this season, even if the Titans' record doesn’t indicate it. The two teams battle each other this afternoon, with both looking to start a winning streak.  The Cleveland Browns are at the top of their division, which is not a sentence written very often. The Browns come into the game with a 4-2 record for the season and a solid mix of conservative offense and stingy defense. They aren’t turning the ball over, which has been their key to success. The defense has shown remarkable progress despite losing the best defensive player in football via trade. Hope hasn’t been this high in years. The Titans are just 1-5 for the season, getting their first win of the year last week. It was a good comeback win for them. They were down 13-0 to the Colts at halftime, but they scored a ton in the second half, both with Special Teams and their offense. Cam Ward looked composed in the pocket and delivered when it mattered most. Tennessee may not be great, but they have been competitive in most games this season.  This should be a good battle between two young and hungry teams, both searching for success. The Browns want to keep their lead in the division. The Titans are looking for more progress in a year that will likely end outside the postseason.  Underdog is getting new users into the action with promo code FOXNEWS, providing them with $50 in bonuses from a $10 wager.

Recommended Wager: Colts under 17.5 points This afternoon, the Indianapolis Colts head to Minnesota to take on the Vikings. They have struggled to a 2-4 record this season, while the Vikings are coming off a Bye Week and maintain a perfect record. Do the Colts have any chance to give the Vikings their first blemish of the season?  The Indianapolis Colts offense can look solid at times. However, most of the time they’ve struggled. The most they’ve scored in a game was 30, and they’ve done it twice. Once against the Chiefs and once against the Commanders. They are averaging 24 points per game this season, but they have had more drives stall out than not.  The Minnesota Vikings are one of the best defensive teams in football, and now they’ve had an extra week to get healthy. They’ve also had an extra week to prepare for the game. For the season, the Vikings have allowed just 12.8 points per game. That’s the best number in football. They are allowing 259.8 yards per game in the five contests this season.  Going into Minnesota is always a challenge, and now the Colts are getting extra pressure with the bye week disadvantage as well. The Colts' best offensive weapon is Jonathan Taylor, and he faces the fifth-best rushing defense in football today.  Take a shot on the Colts scoring fewer than 17.5 points in today’s game.

This is America’s Game of the Week on FOX and gives us a battle between Jared Goff and Jordan Love. This will be the 194th matchup in history between the two clubs. 192 of those games will have taken place in the regular season.  The Packers have dominated the Lions in the series, winning 108 times, including both times in the postseason. Since 2022, the teams have played nine times. The Packers, however, have not had the edge in these games. They are just 2-7 against the Lions, but they did win both of the games last season.  The Lions were on Bye Week last week, so they have had extra time to prepare for the Packers. Jared Goff’s career against the Packers has been pretty strong. Overall, he is 7-4 against Green Bay with 19 touchdowns and five interceptions. He completes roughly 70% of his passes against them as well. His counterpart, Jordan Love, is just 4-4 in his career against the Lions with 12 touchdowns and five interceptions.  Underdog is offering new users the promo code FOXNEWS so they can wager $10 on the game and get $50 in bonuses.  Odds are Subject to Change Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6addea96f04c506ce1bfd336 Fanatics Sportsbook Promo Code FOXNEWS350: Bet $20, Get $350 on Chiefs-Seahawks te 2026-10-25T11:40:06.032Z Fanatics Sportsbook Promo Code FOXNEWS350: Bet $20, Get $350 on Chiefs-Seahawks Sunday Night Football always brings us one of the best games on the schedule and tonight is no exception as the Chiefs take on the Seahawks.

The jury’s seven women and six men brought a measure of objectivity and decency to the facts that the leaders of MIT and Whitehead could not. Sabatini’s case is a perfect example how DEI and the rest of the left’s political crusades are so destructive to America. The verdict vindicates Sabatini, who has long maintained that his accuser, Kristin Knouse, had lied. But the legal fight took years of his life and nearly ruined him financially. And it shouldn’t be the end of the story. The trial exposed how thin — and how rotten — MIT’s and Whitehead’s case against Sabatini had been all along. MIT and Whitehead owe the public a reckoning. The Trump administration must investigate MIT and Whitehead. Before 2021, scientists revered Sabatini as one of the greatest molecular cell biologists alive. He ran a major lab at Whitehead, held a professorship at MIT, served as a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator and received tens of millions of dollars in federal funding. Sabatini’s " groundbreaking " research could yield new cancer and aging therapies and save countless lives. Predictions swirled that he’d one day win the Nobel Prize. It all came crashing down. Evidence at trial shows that Knouse — who led her own lab — launched a campaign she termed "covert operation dethrone" to topple Sabatini after he ended their roughly year-and-a-half-long relationship. She messaged one friend that Sabatini was going to be "Weinstein’ed out of science" ; another that she was "out for blood." Knouse told colleagues that Sabatini had harassed and assaulted her, and in the fall of 2020 took her claims to Whitehead’s new director, Ruth Lehmann. Lehmann proved an eager audience. After one meeting, Knouse reported that Lehmann acted "as if she wants a formal reason to fire" Sabatini. After another meeting, Lehmann "indicated she plans to fire him." "If I don’t do this," Lehmann reportedly said , "how can anyone ever believe I’m committed to changing this place?" Lehmann denied making the comments in a later deposition. Whitehead eventually hired a law firm to conduct an investigation, but later reporting and trial evidence indicate the investigation had a largely predetermined outcome. The firm’s final report reached no conclusion on whether Sabatini’s and Knouse’s relationship had been consensual. Mostly it faulted Sabatini for not reporting his relationship with Knouse to HR and for a "sexualized undercurrent" in his lab –an environment which it deemed, along with the relationship, to violate an anti-harassment policy. Perhaps most shocking, though, the report took umbrage with Sabatini’s focus on "science above all else" and his "propensity" to "praise or gravitate" toward those demonstrating "scientific success." The fallout was immediate. The Howard Hughes Medical Institute quickly fired Sabatini; that same day, after Whitehead told him it would dismiss him, he resigned. Which might leave you wondering: Did administrators have no sense of proportionality, no sense of the gravity of removing Sabatini — that it would wreck not just one man and one career but an entire research ecosystem? But then it’s always easier to destroy than create. Lehmann was, after all, a DEI warrior. She ranked "diversity and disparities," alongside research, as one of the areas most "important for science." As Whitehead director, she hired DEI officers and instituted a new DEI Council, DEI Seminar Series, DEI Heritage Email series, and an internship program targeting "historically underrepresented groups." And she oversaw both a DEI strategic plan that pledged to hire "diverse talent" and the publication of Whitehead’s first DEI report, which touted the "increasing diversity in our community" alongside statistics showing a decrease in the percentage of white employees between 2020 and 2022. After Sabatini’s removal from Whitehead, Nergis Mavalvala, MIT’s dean of science, was part of a three-member committee that convened to consider his tenure at MIT. It was a solemn assignment: revocations of tenure anywhere are exceedingly rare, and there’s no public record of a single case ever at MIT. Nevertheless, Mavalvala testified at trial that the committee hadn’t spoken to any former members of Sabatini’s lab about the veracity of the accusations against him — including the 34 who had written in his support. In early 2022, the committee recommended that MIT revoke Sabatini’s tenure. Under intense pressure, Sabatini resigned. What explains the committee’s actions? Here, too, trial evidence is damning. On the day Whitehead gave Sabatini the law firm’s report, Mavalvala wrote to Lehmann about its contents and assured her that "there is complete alignment between our viewpoints on this whole sordid affair." She then added : "I find myself say[ing] ‘Yeah, go Ruth!’ almost every time you speak. You are at the vanguard of cultural change, and that is never easy or quick." Cultural change . Not the pursuit of science. Not academic excellence. Not moral leadership. Her later emails heap exuberant praise on the Whitehead director, with lines such as : "OMG, you are a trailblazer Ruth." On the stand, Mavalvala said that her committee’s investigation into Sabatini was unbiased and independent of Whitehead. Questioned about her emails, she retorted that her "alignment" with Lehmann concerned processes only, not the desired outcome of Sabatini’s case. The jury laughed. In the end, 13 ordinary citizens from a deep-blue state humiliated MIT and Whitehead by upholding due process and the dignity of every individual — regardless of race or gender. Their verdict is the latest sign that public trust in our academic institutions has collapsed. So what next? Thanks to the Supreme Court’s ruling in Fair Admissions v. Harvard and the Trump administration’s crackdown on unlawful DEI practices, Whitehead has purged its website of materials that once touted its diversity initiatives. But insiders report that DEI is alive and well. Sabatini now runs a lab in Prague and, more recently, a Czech-affiliated one in Boston. To satisfy the demands of wokeness, America gave Europe one of our best scientists. Knouse directs a lab at MIT, and the National Institutes of Health recently awarded her a large grant. Lehmann and Mavalvala continue in their posts. And neither MIT nor Whitehead has signaled any willingness to examine its conduct regarding Sabatini, to reconsider his employment, or to sanction anyone involved in this debacle. MIT and Whitehead receive over a billion dollars annually in taxpayer funds. The public deserves an accounting of whether MIT and Whitehead used our money to further "cultural change," the degradation of science, and the ruin of a man on a sham pretext. An investigation into the weaponization of DEI would right a deep wrong and signal a return to an America-first pursuit of scientific excellence. It would send the message that we should level our condemnation not against scientists who pursue "science above all else," but against those who offer little but destruction in the name of progress.

My response is simple: Washington should not become the principal beneficiary of the American Dream. According to reporting highlighted by Fox Business, Kirby believes wealth inequality requires a national response. He has every right to make that argument. But a proposal to confiscate nearly everything above a government-determined threshold deserves a forceful challenge. LET SOCIALISTS ROB FROM THE RICH 100% AND YOU STILL WON’T BE ABLE TO PAY THE BILLS The ability to build something and leave it to your family is one of the most powerful incentives in our economy. Treating that aspiration as a social problem would send America in precisely the wrong direction. As the founder of Engineered Tax Services, I have spent my career working with people who build businesses, invest in communities and create jobs. Their wealth often exists in operating companies, buildings, equipment and ownership interests. Those assets are productive — and frequently illiquid. NEWSOM BEGS CALIFORNIANS TO VOTE 'NO' ON BILLIONAIRE'S TAX IN FACE OF MASS EXODUS, PITCHES NATIONWIDE TAX HIKE A business valuation does not mean a business owner has that amount sitting in a checking account. Yet an annual wealth tax could demand cash based on an estimated asset value, even when the owner has received no corresponding income. Where does the money come from? Depending on the rules, owners could have to borrow, sell assets or withdraw capital from their businesses. Money that might have funded equipment, expansion or hiring could instead go toward paying a tax on continued ownership. Supporters must explain why that tradeoff would serve the workers whose opportunities depend on those investments. FORMER WASHINGTON GOVERNOR RIPS HER OWN PARTY FOR PUSHING MILLIONAIRES OUT The inheritance proposal raises an even more fundamental question: Who should decide what happens to a lifetime of work? Parents often sacrifice because they want their children to have greater security and opportunity. Entrepreneurs take risks knowing that success could benefit their families long after they are gone. That motivation deserves respect — and drives real economic growth. Kirby reportedly has not specified the threshold at which inheritance taxes should approach 100%. That omission matters. Nobody should pretend his remarks establish a detailed proposal affecting every family business. THE DSA’S DANGEROUS FINE PRINT. THEY'RE COMING FOR MILLIONAIRES (AND YOU) But even at an extremely high threshold, the principle remains troubling. A near-total marginal tax would give government an overwhelming claim on the portion of an estate above its chosen limit. Why should Washington have a stronger claim to that property than the people its owner chooses to support? Why should an arbitrary number set by the government determine the extent of one person’s property rights relative to another’s? Advocates will argue that inherited wealth can entrench privilege. That concern deserves a serious response. Birth should never determine the limits of a person's opportunity. But neither should the government. DAVID MARCUS: WHY ABDUL EL-SAYED’S ANTI-BILLIONAIRE SCREEDS MAY NOT PLAY IN GRAND RAPIDS Confiscating a successful family's legacy does not, by itself, equip another family to build one. And elected officials don’t have a great track record when it comes to managing budgets and programs. We should judge policy by whether it helps more Americans become owners: start a company, purchase property, acquire useful skills, secure financing and accumulate savings. CONSERVATIVES CAN FIGHT THE RISE OF SOCIALISM BY DEFENDING THE AMERICAN FAMILY That is where my commitment to tax equality comes from. Too many small businesses lack access to the expertise, incentives and opportunities that sophisticated organizations know how to use. Expanding that access offers a practical path toward broader prosperity. Also, be honest about taxation: Some accumulated wealth reflects income already taxed; some reflects appreciation that has not yet been taxed. Sound reasoning against confiscatory taxation does not require pretending every dollar has the same history. It requires recognizing that taxes change incentives — and that property rights should remain meaningful even when an owner becomes extraordinarily successful. Kirby's reported willingness to pay these taxes himself does not settle the issue. Public policy must account for people with different assets, obligations and circumstances. One executive's willingness cannot substitute for a workable national policy. America needs vigorous competition, fewer barriers to business formation and more pathways to financial independence. We should challenge special favors that protect incumbents and make it harder for newcomers to compete. And we should demand that government demonstrate discipline with the resources it already receives before granting it sweeping new claims on private wealth. The American promise is that effort, risk and perseverance can create something lasting. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION We should strengthen that promise for families still trying to get ahead. Build more owners. Open more doors. Let Americans leave a legacy.

Flavio Bolsonaro as its next president. The first round election three weeks ago saw a strong performance by Bolsonaro, proving the polls wrong. While incumbent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (Lula) had been predicted to take the first round by single digits, Bolsonaro ended up winning 47% to Lula's 45%. As neither candidate won a majority, the election went to a second round. Brazil's election follows a long string of victories for the Latin American right across Central and South America that started with the election of Libertarian outsider Javier Milei in Argentina in 2023. BOLSONARO WINS FIRST ROUND OF BRAZILIAN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, AS TRUMP-BACKED CANDIDATES CONTINUE RED WAVE 2025 saw a right-wing sweep across the region, as Ecuador, Bolivia, Honduras and Chile all voted for conservative heads of state. In 2026, Keiko Fujimori narrowly defeated a left-wing candidate to win the Peruvian presidency, while most recently, in Colombia, conservative attorney Abelardo de la Espriella bested left-wing Senator Ivan Cepeda. Bolsonaro's slate of congressional candidates also fared well, ensuring that Brazil will have one of the most conservative congresses in years, and a legislative branch aligned with Bolsonaro's goals, or ready to thwart Lula's agenda. The two candidates met Friday night for the final debate in Rio de Janeiro, which featured a series of questions organized around Brazil's five geographic regions. While the debate featured some heated personal exchanges, it appears unlikely to have moved the needle in either direction heading into a close race. TRUMP'S WAR ON DRUG CARTELS COULD GAIN POWERFUL NEW ALLY AFTER PIVOTAL ELECTION President Donald Trump has heralded these electoral results as vindication for his hardline approach to security, crime, and migration policies, as well as a stamp of approval for the new Shield of the Americas initiative.  The Trump administration counts on considerably more close allies now than it did at the beginning of Trump's second term. Yet, the question remains: why is the region resoundingly rejecting the left and progressivism? Many of the elections have been won by narrow margins, with Brazil being a case in point: Lula bested Jair Bolsonaro in 2022 by just 1.8%. While many Latin American nations remain deeply polarized, there is no denying a right-wing resurgence. Commentators appear to be expressing a rejection of progressive movements amid growing concerns over safety and security, giving approval to proposals to dramatically ramp up police and military presence to combat crime and drug trafficking. Meanwhile, leftist parties seem unable to capitalize on recurring concerns over inflation and kitchen table economics, which have played into the hands of the Latin American right, as working class and middle class voters have felt the pinch of rising food, housing and energy costs. In addition to social and economic concerns, the specter of Jair Bolsonaro also looms over the election.  Flavio Bolsonaro has pledged to free his father, who is currently serving a 27-year sentence on house arrest for allegedly plotting a coup in the wake of the 2022 election. Lula was also sentenced to a 12-year prison sentence on corruption charges stemming from the infamous Operation Car Wash, until he was freed on a technicality by the Brazilian Supreme Court, and rose from the ashes to win the 2022 presidential election. BRAZIL’S RAPID ELECTION COUNT PUTS SPOTLIGHT ON VOTING SECURITY AHEAD OF US MIDTERMS Bolsonaro has narrowly led in recent polls, and enters the second round with some structural advantages. Most importantly, he enjoys the backing of three of the four other major candidates in the race, who failed to advance to the second round.  Self-help author Augusto Cury, former Goias Governor Ronaldo Caiado, and former Minas Gerais Governor Romeu Zema all officially backed Bolsonaro in the second round. Entrepreneur Renan Santos, candidate for the Mission Party, declined to endorse either candidate. However, as his political movement is characterized as free-market and libertarian, these voters are also more likely to trend to Bolsonaro. Thus, Lula needs to win a significant majority of first round voters who backed right-wing or center-right candidates. It's a daunting, but not impossible, proposition. The entire election may hinge on voters who are voting against a candidate, as much as for a candidate. Another question looming over the election: has Lula finally worn out his welcome with the Brazilian electorate? This will be Lula's seventh time in 40 years appearing on a presidential ballot: he lost elections in 1989, 1994, 1998, won in 2002, 2006, and 2022. Lula famously promised to serve only one term when he ran to oust Jair Bolsonaro in 2022.  On October 25, 2022, just five days before the last second round presidential election, he posted on his official X account: "If elected, I will be a single-term president." It was a promise that he did not keep. Various polls have shown that voters are not happy with the course of Lula's third term, and even a sizable percentage of Lula backers in 2022 responded with pessimism on the prospect of an unprecedented fourth term. However, a large percentage of the Brazilian electorate also consistently rejects the prospect of voting for another Bolsonaro for president. Lula is unquestionably the dominant figure in Brazilian politics over the past half-century. But will his magnetism and charisma be enough to overcome the right-wing resurgence sweeping the continent? Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6adde38ff04c506ce1bfd241 Mike Johnson's future hangs in balance as the 'accidental speaker' marks 3 years te 2026-10-25T11:10:07.525Z Mike Johnson's future hangs in balance as the 'accidental speaker' marks 3 years Three years ago today marked the end of one of the most chaotic periods in American political history. Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., took control of the House of Representatives after a unanimous vote by his fellow Republicans, ending three weeks of paralysis in the federal government. His predecessor, Kevin McCarthy, had been ousted by GOP rebels in the first such rebellion against a sitting House speaker in U.S. history. The Louisiana Republican, having served in Congress only since 2017, surprised his peers and the country with his rapid ascent to power. And since then, Johnson — who has been dubbed the "accidental speaker" by multiple parties — has made a name for himself as one of the most effective speakers the House has seen, given his razor-thin majority. But the third anniversary of his speakership comes just over a week before an election that could see Johnson lose it all — despite his best efforts to defy history and keep the House GOP in power. JOHNSON DELIVERS BIG FOR TRUMP, BUT FRUSTRATION GROWS ACROSS RAZOR-THIN GOP MAJORITY "Over the last three years — in spite of the constant challenges governing with one of the smallest majorities in history — House Republicans have delivered landmark victories for the American people," Johnson told Fox News Digital.  "We enacted the largest tax cuts for hardworking families in U.S. history, added 1 million private sector jobs, cut $1.6 trillion in wasteful spending, secured the border, reversed outrageous Biden-era regulations, achieved the lowest violent crime rate in 126 years and the largest decline in prescription drug prices in 60 years," he said. "We created Trump accounts for every child and the first nationwide school choice program, voted to ban stock trading in Congress, passed landmark housing legislation, and so much more." JOHNSON TURNS DEMOCRATS’ SOCIALIST CIVIL WAR INTO NEW WEAPON FOR MIDTERMS He’s done much of that with a majority fluctuating between one and four seats, a remarkably tight margin during a tenure that Newt Gingrich called "the most challenging speakership since the Civil War." Johnson also touted breaking fundraising records and his work "endlessly" traveling the country campaigning for other GOP candidates. MIKE JOHNSON TAUNTS HAKEEM JEFFRIES FOR LOSING DEMS' CIVIL WAR 'IN HIS OWN BACKYARD' "I remain grateful every day to my colleagues for their continued confidence as we fight together to protect our House majority. Serving as their 56th Speaker of the House is the honor of my life," he said. In his three years, Johnson has already become one of the GOP’s most prolific fundraisers in history. He’s raised $526 million for Republicans during this election cycle alone. The month before Election Day, Johnson campaigned in more than 40 districts across 22 states, and of his 55 endorsed candidates, 97% won their respective primaries. But the million-dollar question is: Is it enough come Nov. 3? House Republicans are facing significant headwinds in their quest to keep the majority. Political convention dictates that the president’s party traditionally loses control of Congress during the midterms, and President Donald Trump’s low approval numbers are expected to complicate matters for Republicans in tight races across the country. Johnson, for his part, has remained optimistic but has tried not to give any hints about what he would do if the GOP lost. REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK: CONGRESS BRACES FOR POST-ELECTION GAME OF MUSICAL CHAIRS AS LEADERSHIP BATTLES LOOM "Heaven forbid, if we lose this majority or whatever, I don’t know what my next chapter of life is," Johnson told Fox News' Aishah Hasnie this month. "If God moves on our hearts and says we should, you know, go back to my hometown of Shreveport and start a lawn business, I’ll do that with equal fervor." Days later he told CBS News, "I don't think it's going to happen, so I don't spend any time thinking about it ... But in the unlikely scenario where we lost the majority, I would expect my colleagues would ask me to continue leading this conference, even if we have divided government." Whether Johnson’s fellow House Republicans even want him to stay will come down to how well Republicans do, and if they lose, how bad that loss will be. Multiple GOP lawmakers who spoke with Fox News Digital earlier this month said they anticipated Johnson would step aside if Republicans lost the House. If they win, however, Johnson is all but assured of keeping his job — and with Trump’s blessing. "Speaker Mike Johnson is an example of the American Dream. As Speaker, he's continued to defy the odds with a slim House majority and pass America First bills," Trump’s campaign posted on X. "After Republicans win in November, they should re-elect Mike as Speaker quickly!"

For Angie Barlow’s mother, Christina Kramer, the 10-year mark of her daughter’s disappearance brings questions about both her death and the status of the ongoing investigation. Angie Barlow, 23, disappeared on Oct. 26, 2016, after texting her roommate the address of a private dancing gig at the Landmark Apartment and Townhomes in Indianapolis. GABBY PETITO'S MOTHER URGES PUBLIC 'RIPPLE EFFECT' TO HELP FIND THE MISSING 5 YEARS AFTER DAUGHTER'S MURDER "About to work this private party in case I go missing LOL," the text message read, Kramer told Fox News Digital. Nearly eight months later, searchers found Barlow’s remains in a backyard of a residence off Harcourt in Indianapolis, WISH-TV reported. Kramer said her daughter had been fatally shot. TEEN FOUND IN SHALLOW CALIFORNIA VINEYARD GRAVE IDENTIFIED NEARLY 50 YEARS LATER AS FAMILY WARNS KILLER Kramer added that she is desperate for answers after a special prosecutor assigned to the case left the office. She estimated it had been around two years since she has heard from the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office. "I had been sending a bunch of emails for I don't even know how long to absolutely nobody," Kramer told Fox News Digital, adding that she no longer has a point of contact with the prosecutor’s office. JONBENET RAMSEY'S DAD PRESSES FOR NEW LAW IN DECADES-LONG HUNT FOR DAUGHTER’S KILLER Kramer said she has also tried repeatedly to reach Marion County Prosecuting Attorney Ryan Mears but has not received a response. The Marion County Prosecutor's Office did not respond to multiple requests for comment from Fox News Digital. Kramer said surveillance footage from the apartment complex showed two vehicles leaving at around 3:30 a.m. on Oct. 27, 2016. She identified one vehicle as Barlow's blue Pontiac G6. A black sedan followed closely behind, believed to have belonged to a female acquaintance who worked with Barlow at Club Rio in Indianapolis, Kramer said. The footage did not allow investigators to identify the drivers or occupants because of the vehicles' tinted windows, WISH-TV reported. Kramer said days went by without answers. She then contacted the dealership where Barlow purchased the vehicle and used its GPS tracker to help locate it around eight miles from the apartment complex. While Barlow normally kept her car meticulously clean, Kramer said the recovered vehicle had been completely trashed inside and looked as though it had been driven under a fence. "That car had been on some kind of journey," Kramer added. Kramer said months later, she received a phone call from the acquaintance who had been at the private party with her boyfriend. Kramer said that Barlow knew the pair, but they were not friends. "She needed some quick cash, and this was the way to do it," Kramer said, adding that she would have never accepted the gig had she known who was there. During the Jan. 2017 call, Kramer recalled asking the female acquaintance what she and Barlow had discussed at the party. "Oh, you want to know what her last words were," Kramer recalled the woman saying. Kramer said the remark stayed with her because she interpreted it as a taunt. The woman denied making the call and having that conversation, according to what Kramer told Fox News Digital. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said that no criminal charges have been filed in Barlow’s death. IMPD told Fox News Digital that the investigation remains open with Detective Jose Torres as the lead investigator but declined to comment further. FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X Despite standing less than 5 feet tall, Barlow excelled as a softball catcher, her mother said. She also competed in basketball, shot put, volleyball and bowling.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6addd7d9f04c506ce1bfd0d7 Former Israeli army chief Gadi Eisenkot emerges as Netanyahu’s leading election challenger te 2026-10-25T10:20:09.904Z Former Israeli army chief Gadi Eisenkot emerges as Netanyahu’s leading election challenger JERUSALEM — Israel’s high-stakes election on Oct. 27 pits the longest serving prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, against the highly decorated retired Lt. Gen. Gadi Eisenkot. While fairly new to politics, Eisenkot has an impressive resume that could help him become the Jewish state's next leader. According to a number of polls, Eisenkot's centrist political party, Yashar, has a narrow lead over Netanyahu's Likud. To form a government, Yashar or Likud will need to cobble together a 61-seat majority of parties to be able to form a new coalition government. TRUMP SAYS NETANYAHU NEEDS TO BE RE-ELECTED, OR ELSE US WILL HAVE TO 'FINISH THE JOB’ AGAINST IRAN ALONE He was born in Tiberias in Israel’s north to a Jewish-Moroccan family who relocated to Israel’s southernmost city, Eilat, on the Red Sea when he was a toddler. A career soldier, he opted to serve in the infantry. He was part of the elite Golani Brigade and reached the zenith of the military with his 2015 appointment to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) chief of staff in 2015 until 2019. Yossi Melman, one of Israel’s most respected journalists on intelligence and defense reporting, told Fox News Digital that Eisenkot, "Is 100% a soldier. He is very brave and humble. He is an officer and gentleman." Melman noted that when Eisenkot was chosen to be the next IDF chief of staff, he declined because he felt that then General Benny Gantz should receive the appointment. Melman asked, "How many people would do that? He was selected after Gantz. It shows his traits of modesty, honesty and not arrogant." Melman said, "It is a miracle he is leading in the polls. He is the antithesis of a what a politician should be. He is not a great orator when you compare him to Netanyahu. He radiates honesty." BENJAMIN NETANYAHU'S LEGACY AND POLITICAL FUTURE ON THE LINE IN ISRAEL'S OCT 27 ELECTION Eisenkot’s Mizrahi background — Jews who originate from North Africa and the Middle East — would mean, if he prevails, that he would be the first Israeli Prime Minister of Moroccan origin. The Prime Minister’s office has been held by Israelis of Eastern European descent (Ashkenazi) since the rebirth of the Jewish state in 1948. After Hamas invaded Israel on Oct. 7, 2023 and slaughtered over 1,200 people, including more than 40 Americans, Eisenkot joined Netanyahu’s war cabinet as a minister without portfolio. Melman said Eisenkot "did not set any political conditions" and "his presence in the cabinet saved Netanyahu." After eight months of serving in the war cabinet, Eisenkot resigned, blaming the prime minister for failing to implement a comprehensive strategy. The war against the Iran-backed terrorist movement Hamas took an enormous toll on the battle-hardened General Eisenkot and his family. Hamas killed his son, 25-year-old Master Sergeant Gal Eisenkot, in Dec. 2023. The terrorist organization also killed two nephews of Eisenkot. Netanyahu and his wife Sara said at the time that they were devastated by Gal’s death and Eisenkot was a "true hero." ZIONISM EXPLAINED FROM ITS BIBLICAL ORIGINS TO THE REBIRTH OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL Danny Orbach, a military historian from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, gave his take on the leading contender to replace Netanyahu. "I think his military record and his prospects as a national leader have both significant strengths and serious weaknesses. He bears considerable responsibility for shaping the IDF that existed on Oct. 7, 2023. And that was, paradoxically, both the army that proved capable of defeating Hezbollah, striking Iran and achieving unprecedented military successes in the extraordinarily difficult, tunnel-ridden battlefield of Gaza and the army that failed so miserably on Oct. 7." He continued that, "Like other chiefs of staff, Eisenkot bears responsibility for the decisions that reduced the army's size and for the infamous ‘conceptzia’ [Hebrew word for concept] regarding Hamas. In that respect, I consider him just as culpable as Netanyahu." Israel’s military, intelligence and political establishments bought into the ‘conceptzia’ that Hamas could be housebroken with massive infusions of economic aid. Hamas, however, was wedded to its radical Islamist ideology —the destruction of the Jewish state — and used the funds to advance its war aims. Orbach noted that "I don't think most of Eisenkot's support stems from his energy, enthusiasm or even his political platform. My impression is that Eisenkot has emerged as the default ‘non-Bibi’ candidate, the politician who currently channels much of the camp's hopes and expectations." Orbach added that "I also doubt that Eisenkot would have had the political determination to stand up to the Biden administration on such matters." Netanyahu and former President Biden repeatedly clashed over Biden’s attempts to rope in Israel’s efforts to defeat Iran’s seven-front war against the Jewish state. The military historian, however, noted that "I believe an Eisenkot government could address several of Israel's most urgent problems. It would remove Ben Gvir from power, confront the growing problem of Jewish extremist violence and terrorism in the West Bank, and begin repairing Israel's severely damaged international legitimacy." Itamar Ben-Gvir is a controversial right-wing firebrand politician and the current minister of national security since 2022, who has outraged many Western European and foreign leaders with his heated rhetoric against the Palestinians. TIMELINE OF DECADES-LONG ISRAELI-ARAB, PALESTINIAN CONFLICT Eisenkot’s wife, Hannah, comes from an American Jewish family. U.S. General Joseph Dunford awarded Eisenkot the Commander of the Legion of Merit because of his "exceptionally meritorious service as chief of the General Staff of the IDF" and his "contribution to the strategic cooperation between the United States and Israel [that] will have a lasting effect on both countries," according to the Washington Institute, where Eisenkot served as a military fellow in 2019. Nadav Eyal, an Israeli analyst and journalist for the mass circulation Israeli paper Yedioth Aharonoth, told Fox News Digital, Gadi Eisenkot is widely considered one of the most successful Chiefs of Staff that Israel has had in the last thirty years." He continued that "Chiefs of Staff in Israel, unlike in other countries, are really extremely capable, in general, to be prime minister. They are leading the country’s biggest organization, the IDF." Eyal, who writes extensively about the IDF, credited Eisenkot’s military planning against the Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorist organization in Lebanon and the significant defeats the Lebanese Shiite entity experienced, including the "discovery of tunnels that Hezbollah built" to enter Israel. Hezbollah immediately joined Hamas’s war against Israel in Oct. 2023. Given the nature of Israel’s electoral system, an outright winner won’t likely be known for several days, since the leading party will need to form a coalition to get to the 61-seat mandate to run the country.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6addd7d8f04c506ce1bfd0c5 Inside the Pentagon's doomsday plan to keep America fighting if global war erupts te 2026-10-25T10:20:08.262Z Inside the Pentagon's doomsday plan to keep America fighting if global war erupts FIRST ON FOX — The Pentagon is preparing U.S. military bases to keep operating for at least 90 days without outside support as it prepares for the possibility of a major war that could cripple power grids, disrupt supply chains and threaten critical infrastructure on American soil. The new requirement is part of FORTRESS, a broader military initiative aimed at ensuring American forces can continue fighting even if the civilian systems they depend on are disrupted, according to documents reviewed by Fox News Digital. AMERICA'S NEXT WAR COULD REACH US SOIL, TOP ARMY GENERAL WARNS "We don't want to rely on standard civilian municipal infrastructure to run our national defense. We just simply can't. It's an intolerable risk," Pentagon chief spokesperson Sean Parnell told Fox News Digital. The Pentagon is also laying the groundwork for civilian factories to shift to defense production during a crisis, while preparing alternative supply chains and strategic reserves to keep weapons, fuel and other essential materials flowing. "Power is combat now. Without electricity, you lose communications, water, logistics, assembly lines and just basic military command structures," Parnell said. Under FORTRESS, every major military installation in the continental United States would be expected to sustain essential operations independently for at least 90 days, including access to electricity, water, fuel and communications. TRUMP PENTAGON LAUNCHES COMPETITION FOR AMERICA'S NEXT GREAT MILITARY BASE The requirement reflects a broader shift in how the Pentagon is preparing for threats to the American homeland, including the possibility that a major conflict could disrupt the infrastructure supporting military operations inside the United States. "I realized that a lot of the way we think about homeland defense was built around the antiquated assumption that two oceans would protect us," Parnell said. "President Trump understands that world is gone, and he's already paved the way for new thinking: Golden Dome, a renewed focus on the Western Hemisphere, Greenland, Panama." A central concern is the military's reliance on civilian power grids, which support everything from communications and logistics to weapons manufacturing. FORTRESS envisions portable nuclear reactors, large-scale battery storage and microgrids capable of disconnecting military installations from the civilian electrical grid, allowing them to continue operating during prolonged power disruptions. "Mission-critical power must be independent, hardened, and redundant," Parnell said. The Pentagon has already announced plans to reduce major military installations' dependence on civilian power grids. The 90-day self-sufficiency standard goes further, extending the requirement beyond electricity to other essential services needed to sustain military operations. The strategy also anticipates major disruptions to the global supply chains that provide the military with weapons, equipment and critical materials. "The next conflict will likely be fought on multiple fronts. Look at the geopolitics behind any major war. When that happens, global supply chains will break," Parnell said. To prepare, FORTRESS calls for strategic reserves of munitions, fuel, critical minerals, electronics, spare parts and medical supplies that could sustain military operations if international supply routes are disrupted or domestic manufacturers cannot keep pace with wartime demand. Reserve targets would vary depending on how quickly supplies are consumed during a major conflict and how long manufacturers would need to replace them. STARTUPS BRING INNOVATION TO DEFENSE INDUSTRIAL BASE For the military's most critical defense dependencies, the initiative also establishes a requirement for at least two qualified supply or production pathways, reducing the risk that the loss of a single factory, supplier or industrial capability could interrupt military operations. Another major component involves preparing America's civilian manufacturing sector to support a wartime mobilization. Through the Civil Reserve Manufacturing Network, an existing initiative incorporated into FORTRESS, the Pentagon plans to identify commercial factories capable of shifting to defense production during a crisis. The new details describe plans to assess manufacturers' capabilities and establish technical specifications, cybersecurity protections, contracting arrangements and conversion procedures in advance, rather than waiting until a conflict begins. FORTRESS also calls for recurring industrial stress tests and mobilization exercises to assess whether manufacturers could maintain production through prolonged disruptions. Beyond energy and manufacturing, the initiative includes efforts to strengthen military communications, navigation and satellite capabilities against interference, including preparations to maintain operations when GPS signals are jammed or space-based assets are disrupted. Together, the measures are intended to reduce the military's dependence on civilian infrastructure and vulnerable supply networks during a prolonged conflict. "You don't want to be making these decisions in the middle of a global multi-front conflict. We have to have a plan," Parnell said. He described FORTRESS as an insurance policy for the homeland, designed to ensure American forces can continue operating even if a major war disrupts the infrastructure and supply chains they rely on.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6addd7d6f04c506ce1bfd0b3 Foster children's autism therapy at risk as Georgia lawmakers step into funding fight te 2026-10-25T10:20:06.436Z Foster children's autism therapy at risk as Georgia lawmakers step into funding fight A fight over cuts to autism therapy for Georgia foster children is escalating at the state Capitol, with a Republican lawmaker and families now calling for the 30% reimbursement reduction to be reversed as advocates warn children could lose hard-earned progress. State Sen. Brian Strickland, R-McDonough, joined parents and providers Thursday to demand action over a reduction in reimbursement rates for applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy that went into effect Sept. 1 through Amerigroup, which administers Medicaid coverage for children in Georgia's foster care system. "As a parent of a child with autism, I know what ABA therapy means for a family and Georgia's foster children, which is why I stood at the Capitol to make clear that these cuts are indefensible," Strickland told Fox News Digital. Strickland, who is running for state attorney general, also pledged to hold companies accountable if elected. AUTISM PROVIDERS WARN FOSTER KIDS AT RISK FROM UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF TRUMP'S MEDICAID FRAUD CRACKDOWN The political pushback comes after Fox News Digital first reported earlier this month that autism advocates feared the reduction could force providers to stop treating foster children as an unintended consequence of the Trump administration's Medicaid fraud crackdown. Taylor Sanders of the Autism Families Alliance told Fox News Digital on Saturday that families and clinicians have increasingly begun speaking out since the cuts took effect, emphasizing that "time is crucial to these families." "Every moment where their child is not receiving services, we're seeing a regression in possible communication, safety skills," Sanders said. "Maybe we're seeing an increase in some of those challenging behaviors." Sanders previously warned that as many as 75% of clinics could close or stop serving foster children because of the cuts. AUTISM PROVIDERS CHEER TRUMP CRACKDOWN AFTER MILLIONS ALLEGEDLY STOLEN FROM CHILDREN THROUGH MEDICAID FRAUD She described a family whose 3-year-old child had begun using words for the first time after receiving ABA therapy and whose mother now fears losing access to treatment. "She was in absolute tears and so worried and frustrated," Sanders said, recalling their recent conversation. The mother, Sanders explained, fears losing the consistent one-on-one therapy that she said helped the child begin communicating. Sanders said the child had not received enough therapy to ensure those newly learned communication skills could be maintained across different settings. "For these children and their families, time matters," Kelsey Bennett of the Autism Families Alliance told Fox News Digital. "Every day without critical care risks reversing hard-earned progress and limiting opportunities for continued development." HOUSE GOP BILL MOVES TO CLOSE WHISTLEBLOWER GAPS EXPOSED BY MINNESOTA MEDICAID FRAUD SCANDAL Bennett added, "Reverse the cuts." Advocates are calling not only for the cuts to be reconsidered, but also for families, clinicians and other stakeholders to be involved in reviewing the policy rather than relying on a blanket approach. In a statement to FOX 5 Atlanta, Amerigroup said it rebalanced ABA reimbursement rates based on service complexity and clinical expertise, increasing rates for treatment planning and caregiver-engagement services while decreasing rates for some technician-delivered services. The company also said rates for licensed clinicians did not decrease and that medically necessary autism services remain covered. In response, Sanders emphasized that the reductions affected technicians who provide much of the one-on-one care. COALITION OF 25 STATES SUES TRUMP ADMIN OVER MEDICAID WORK RULE DESIGNED TO PREVENT FRAUD "Just because we put something down on paper doesn't mean that it's gonna be clinically effective or that these children are gonna be able to access care because companies are now having to maybe close their doors to these individuals because they can't afford the rate cut," Sanders said. Sanders reiterated her concerns about the potential long-term consequences for children whose therapy is interrupted. "Progress lost is extremely hard to come back from, which is the biggest concern that we're facing here," Sanders said. "Reconsider before ripping the rug from families. Start to involve the clinicians, involve families before making major cuts." Fox News Digital has reached out to Amerigroup and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for additional comment.

"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.

The Tallahassee Police Department said the shooting occurred just before 8 p.m. near the intersection of Perry and Manatee streets, close to Bragg Memorial Stadium. Authorities said 12 people were injured, including 11 who sustained gunshot wounds. One victim was in critical condition, two others were seriously injured and eight were listed in stable condition, police said. SEVERAL UNIVERSITY OF IOWA STUDENTS WOUNDED IN DOWNTOWN SHOOTING AFTER FIGHT ERUPTS NEAR CAMPUS Of the 12 known victims, six are adults and six are juveniles, Tallahassee Police Chief Lawrence E. Revell said during a news conference. The youngest victim was 11 years old, according to Revell. "Tonight, our thoughts are with the victims and their families as they face the devastating impact of this violence," Revell said. "It is especially heartbreaking to know that children are among those injured," he continued. "In the moments immediately following the shooting, and before the scene was fully secure, our officers put their own safety at risk to carry victims to safety and transport them to the hospital. Their actions were nothing short of heroic and reflect the courage and compassion our officers bring to this community every day."

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. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6add8825f04c506ce1bfc4d1 Arch Manning, Texas survive Ole Miss after another second-half meltdown creates Austin anxiety te 2026-10-25T04:40:05.821Z Arch Manning, Texas survive Ole Miss after another second-half meltdown creates Austin anxiety There are two faces to Texas, and I still don’t know which one we saw Saturday night against No. 7 Ole Miss as the Longhorns pulled off a thrilling 34-27 upset that came down to the final play. 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.

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.

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." It was quite the diplomatic answer, and we'll see how it goes in just a few weeks when Hellebuyck and the Devils visit Winnipeg on November 10. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6add5ba5f04c506ce1bfbbcc FBI brings cyber scam prevention advice to Maricopa te 2026-10-25T01:30:13.536Z FBI brings cyber scam prevention advice to Maricopa Pause.  That’s the number one piece of advice from Special Agent Natalie Frye of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.  When a suspicious text, e-mail or call comes through; when something seems a little off that you can’t quite put your finger on; and especially when the person on the other end is urging an unusually swift response.   Pause.  This tip and more were covered Wednesday afternoon when FBI agents made a guest appearance in Maricopa City Hall to educate locals about cyber scam prevention.  Belinda Rodriguez opening the Cyber Security and Fraud Seminar event on Wednesday Belinda Rodriguez, of Rep. 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.

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."

"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."

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.
