Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad5de6f75342cf4db924b7f AI could go rogue. Washington needs answers to these five questions ASAP te 2026-10-19T09:10:07.412Z AI could go rogue. Washington needs answers to these five questions ASAP Since Jacob Coxon’s posts in September, Americans have grappled with AI risk. Last month, a POLITICO poll found 63% of Americans see at least a moderate risk that AI could destroy humanity. With lawmakers split, the public is rightly concerned: What happens if AI goes rogue? How do we prepare? Am I at risk? Every American already lives with decisions made by AI, from loan approvals to job applications. Yet Washington’s response has been disjointed: Some in Congress propose a select committee on AI, some in industry want antitrust rules waived so labs can coordinate on safety, and the White House drafted a charter for its "Super Intelligence Force." It may seem like there’s no way out of this mess, but urgently answering five questions would put these anxieties to rest. Too narrow a definition of risk could miss the harms ordinary people face, while too broad a definition could bury every AI product in red tape. Depending on who you ask, risks range from economic disruption to mass casualties to extinction. California's SB 53 sets the bar at a "foreseeable and material risk" of more than 50 deaths or serious injuries, or $1 billion in damage. New York's RAISE Act doubles SB 53’s casualty threshold from 50 to 100, but focuses on instances where a developer "caused or materially enabled" covered damages during the development process. AI EXTINCTION WARNINGS DOMINATE HEADLINES AFTER EX-ANTHROPIC EMPLOYEE'S VIRAL POST Last month, Anthropic's threat intelligence report found researchers using Claude in ways that could support bioweapons development. Anthropic banned the accounts even though it couldn’t determine intent, since the same work could produce vaccines. Some call it legitimate research; others call it nefarious. The government needs to draw that line now, as it decides which dangers the public hears about. When you buy a car, you know someone has inspected it. Americans deserve the same clarity in who decides whether AI is safe. Lawmakers and industry stakeholders increasingly agree that tech companies shouldn't grade their own homework. That's where consensus stops. The evaluation ecosystem is thin relative to the responsibility regulators would like to place on it. Model Evaluation and Threat Research and Apollo Research are among the few organizations floated as neutral arbiters. Lab funding to grow this space would raise neutrality questions, yet the government may hesitate to grant private groups that authority. Many lawmakers would rather Commerce's AI testing center take it on. It has testing agreements with five major labs, but with roughly 30 staff and $10 million in funding this year, it needs an overhaul. Anthropic has forged ahead, naming Accenture its first embedded evaluator. Until policymakers decide on an evaluator, Americans have few ways to judge whether the AI they use every day is safe. The strictness of AI regulation will come down to one judgment call: how much risk Americans should accept at home to avoid falling behind China. Chinese lab Moonshot AI rattled markets this summer with Kimi K3, matching American models at a fraction of the cost. Concerns about Chinese AI risks grew after the release of GLM 5.3, a Chinese model reported to have weak safeguards and dangerous cyber capabilities. As cheap open-weight models, distillation, and fast adoption advance China’s ambitions, many policymakers argue an unencumbered buildout is the only answer, or America will depend on Chinese infrastructure. The public hasn't bought it, with three in four Americans telling pollsters in 2024 that they would prefer a "careful, controlled approach" to AI development rather than racing to be first. Critics note China already imposes guidelines requiring developers to detect, interrupt, and recover from AI behaving improperly. Safety advocates add that AI risks don’t stop at the border. Officials need to strike this balance quickly, as it will shape the guardrails on the AI Americans use. Americans trust the FDA to step in when a medical product is defective, but have no equivalent agency to turn to when AI goes rogue. Fears of recursive self-improvement — AI building smarter versions of itself — grew this summer after roughly 700 autonomous OpenAI agents bypassed Hugging Face security to obtain answers to a capabilities test, and peaked when similar agents breached Australian government systems and probed U.S. federal websites. Anthropic and Google have reported similar incidents. REP TED LIEU: AI IS ALREADY TOO POWERFUL. WE NEED A KILL SWITCH BEFORE DISASTER STRIKES Some want kill switches, as in the AI Kill Switch Act. Others want mandatory incident reporting and investigations, as in cybersecurity and aviation law. Much comes down to whether the developer or a federal body pulls the plug and, if the latter, what access the government would need inside AI labs. Looming over it all are worries about stifling innovation, government overreach, and political bias. Americans deserve to know who will stop a malfunctioning AI system before it’s too late. If an AI system causes harm, the law doesn’t clearly say whether the person who built the system (the developer), the business using it (the deployer), or the user is responsible. With some experts warning that artificial general intelligence — AI that can surpass human abilities — could be less than a decade away, some argue existing liability law isn’t up to the task. REP TED LIEU: AI IS ALREADY TOO POWERFUL. WE NEED A KILL SWITCH BEFORE DISASTER STRIKES Those who propose holding developers liable claim AI defects stem from design flaws, weak safety testing, and failures to warn users. Advocates of deployer liability claim responsibility rests with the business tailoring AI to its operations; after a car crash, the first instinct isn’t to sue the manufacturer. Open models, which anyone can fine-tune, complicate things further. In Congress, Rep. Lori Trahan’s, D-Mass. CLAIM Act would hold developers liable if their AI causes harm, unless the user or the company modifying the system intentionally or negligently caused it. In the Senate, the AI Agent Accountability Act would extend liability under computer hacking laws to operators whose AI agents cause damage, and to developers who overlook reasonable safeguards. Whoever is made responsible will shape how carefully every company builds AI, underscoring the need for swift action. The risks posed by AI grow every day. Washington must address AI governance or risk waiting until the damage is done. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad5de6e75342cf4db924b76 There is no AI in Armageddon. Artificial intelligence is a tool, not an apocalypse te 2026-10-19T09:10:06.634Z There is no AI in Armageddon. Artificial intelligence is a tool, not an apocalypse Over the last several years, we have heard a lot about the doomsday scenarios of artificial intelligence (AI). Tech giants have told us all about how AI will take control away from society, steal our jobs, allow bad actors to design dangerous pathogens or cause a catastrophic cyberattack or destroy our financial systems. The reality is: It’s all fearmongering. I have worked in this industry for more than 20 years and have seen firsthand how important AI is to the future. Let me break it down and explain why this emerging technology is simply a tool. Just think about it like this: AI is just like the internet, the beepers your parents had back in the day, your cellphone, Apple Watch or any other major technological advancement over the last 50 years. It’s not inherently evil by any means, it’s actually an amazing step forward for our generation. AI is not setting out to take our jobs or steal our data or any of the other fears that have been propagated by pop culture about "man vs. machine." DAN GAINOR: THE AI APOCALYPSE IS THE MEDIA'S LATEST SCARE CAMPAIGN. DON'T BUY IT The problem with AI isn’t the technology itself, it’s what happens when individuals utilize these tools for nefarious purposes. Let’s make something abundantly clear: AI models, even those that have errantly hacked government websites or escaped their sandboxes, have humans involved throughout every stage of development. To protect Americans, and the world by extension, from these bad actors, we need to get a better handle on how humans engage with AI. AMERICA CANNOT WIN THE GLOBAL AI RACE IF AMERICANS ARE AFRAID TO USE AI Think about it this way: The internet has given us nearly unrestricted access to the rest of the world, revolutionized the way we work, and created opportunities for engagement we’ve never before seen. It has also given criminals, terrorists and evil people more ways to collaborate, plan and beat the system. I think the vast majority of people would say that the rapid growth of the internet has been an overwhelmingly positive societal development. AI is growing in much the same way. How can we improve the ways in which humans train and interact with AI models? First and foremost, AI lacks a moral compass. It cannot weigh moral dilemmas, so the humans involved in training need to apply strong "constitutions" to ensure compliance with the moral standards we want to see. AI IN EDUCATION GIVES US TO A CHANCE TO USE THE BEST TECH TO FIX OUR BROKEN SCHOOLS AI large language models, like the ones that have become household names across the globe, are trained to give "probabilistic" responses to your queries – in short, meaning they are giving the answer they believe is the answer that you, the user, most likely want. In many cases, that creates frequent hallucinations, industry jargon for false information. Human users and governance provide a necessary check – another reason why we need humans to verify facts and check sources. So, rather than asking ourselves whether AI is good or evil, beneficial or harmful, we should be asking ourselves: Who is training AI models and for what purposes? What capabilities might AI have as we look into the future, or how will AI shape the future over the next decade? ONE OF AMERICA'S OLDEST MANUFACTURERS SAYS AI IS CREATING JOBS — NOT REPLACING THEM As humans, we can responsibly continue developing AI models and encourage others to have faith in the system. But first, we have to stop the fearmongering and recognize the tremendous benefits AI brings to numerous industries and sectors of society, and the impact it will have on the future of industries like healthcare, finance and manufacturing. Growing up, I remember my elementary school math teacher saying math was important because you’re not going to carry a calculator in the grocery store, gas station or department store. Just a couple decades later, every single person carries a calculator on their phone. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION Similarly, AI is another tool in our toolkit we can reach for when we need an extra set of hands, to speed things up or to help simplify work. AI is not a tool that is intended to take our jobs away or take control of our lives; we are constantly developing new AI models with the help of humans to simplify things in the future. As AI continues to develop, and humans create more AI models, I hope that our future can fully grasp the tremendous benefits of AI and close the door to fearmongering once and for all. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad5de6d75342cf4db924b6d SCHOEN, COOPERMAN: Democrats could be riding a midterm wave. These numbers should terrify the GOP te 2026-10-19T09:10:05.690Z SCHOEN, COOPERMAN: Democrats could be riding a midterm wave. These numbers should terrify the GOP With an 8-point lead on the generic congressional ballot — among their highest of the cycle — Democrats could well be on the cusp of a major wave election. We say this based on historical trends and the current political mood. At this point in 2018, the last blue wave, Democrats led the generic ballot by roughly 7 points before gaining 41 House seats. Moreover, the president’s party losing seats in midterms is essentially law in American politics: It has happened in all but three elections since the Roosevelt administration. FOX NEWS POWER RANKINGS: FOR THE DEMOCRATS, WHERE COULD IT POSSIBLY GO WRONG? From 1934 through 2018, the president’s party lost an average of 28 House seats and four Senate seats, and over the past five midterms, the average net loss for the president’s party has been 31 House seats. To be clear, Republicans could make up ground for a number of critical reasons: Democrats remain divided ideologically, lack a message and an identity other than being anti-President Trump, and Republicans have a considerable cash advantage. DEMOCRATS SEE NEW CHANCES TO FLIP RED STATES — BUT A $400M GOP SPENDING ADVANTAGE COULD DERAIL THEIR PLANS That being said, by most measures, Democrats have the upper hand in the House and a genuine opportunity in the Senate. Recent polling suggests Democratic strength in several key Senate battlegrounds — enough to put the upper chamber in play in what was supposed to be a GOP-friendly map. DEMOCRATS ARE WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE IN THE SENATE, BUT SHOULDN'T CELEBRATE YET In North Carolina, Democrat Roy Cooper leads Republican Michael Whatley by nearly 10 points in the polling average. In Michigan, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed holds a narrow 3-point lead over Republican Mike Rogers, who had led during the spring and part of the summer as Republicans emphasized El-Sayed’s socialist lean, controversial statements, and his association with far-left influencer Hasan Piker. EL-SAYED’S SCATHING OBAMA CRITIQUE RESURFACES AHEAD OF JOINT CAMPAIGN RALLY In Maine, Democratic challenger Troy Jackson holds a slight edge over Republican Sen. Susan Collins, although the race remains effectively a toss-up per RealClearPolitics. Victories in those three states alone would not give Democrats control of the Senate. They need a net gain of four seats. SCHUMER WARNS OF REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE THAT COULD CHANGE THE BATTLE FOR SENATE CONTROL The deeper problem for Republicans is that Democrats have expanded the map. In Texas, which has not elected a Democrat statewide since 1994, James Talarico leads Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton — President Trump’s preferred candidate — by roughly 3 points. FOX NEWS POLL: IT’S A LONE STAR SENATE SHOWDOWN BETWEEN TALARICO AND PAXTON Races in other reliably Republican states, including Iowa, South Carolina, Alaska, and even Kansas — which has not elected a Democratic senator in nine decades — also show Democratic candidates running far more competitively than expected. Most of these polls remain within the margin of error. But that should offer Republicans little comfort: The fact that these races are close at all reflects a national environment currently favoring Democrats. That is not to predict that Democrats will win all, or even most, of these contests. SLEEPER SENATE RACE EMERGES AS UNEXPECTED HEADACHE FOR REPUBLICANS AHEAD OF MIDTERMS Outside North Carolina, their leads are essentially ties, and polling has underestimated Republican support in several recent elections. The generic ballot also cannot be applied mechanically to an individual Senate race or House district, particularly when the number of competitive districts has declined sharply since 2018. The Cook Political Report currently rates 21 House races as toss-ups and another 21 as leaning toward one party or the other. In 2018, 75 races were considered competitive — a decline driven by redistricting and growing political polarization. Even with those caveats, Democratic competitiveness in traditionally Republican territory is significant in its own right. DEMOCRATS THINK A BLUE WAVE IS BUILDING. HERE ARE 3 FORCES THAT COULD STOP IT It reflects voters’ deep frustration with the state of the economy. In Fox News polling, nearly four times as many Americans said they were falling behind financially as said they were getting ahead, 44% to 12%. Fox also found that 55% believed Democrats would do a better job handling inflation, compared with 40% who chose Republicans.  President Trump’s approval rating, meanwhile, is below 40% — another warning sign. Low presidential approval has often produced punishing midterms. In 2010, when President Barack Obama’s approval stood at a still-weak 44%, Democrats lost 63 House seats and six Senate seats. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION Nevertheless, Republicans retain important advantages. They have only just begun deploying their substantial cash advantage. The Democratic Party’s weak brand — exacerbated by the growing influence of socialists and the far left — could alienate moderate voters, an argument Republicans are now making. Further, with an average approval rating of 40%, the Democratic Party is virtually as unpopular as Trump. It is also possible that lower-propensity Republican voters heed Trump’s call to behave as if he were on the ballot and turn out. If they do, the election results could look markedly different from today’s polling. Ultimately, both history and current data favor Democrats. They are likely to win the House and have a better-than-even chance of capturing the Senate. They are competitive in states that would ordinarily be out of reach and are running strongly across the core battlegrounds. But with three weeks remaining, a Democratic sweep is far from a foregone conclusion. Republicans still have structural advantages and Trump’s unparalleled ability to mobilize his base. The direction of the race is clear; the scale of the outcome is not.

Cory Booker, D- N. J., said his unscripted style may be the secret sauce to making history and ending a Republican Senate drought in New Jersey that stretches back more than half a century. Justin Murphy, a Navy veteran and former deputy mayor of Tabernacle in the state’s Pine Barrens, stunned his incumbent Democratic opponent when, in response to a question about Iran War strategy, he bluntly said President Donald Trump should forcefully "finish it." "I don’t have a speechwriter. There’s no teleprompter — I shoot from the hip because I want people to see a very sincere, genuine and authentic Justin Murphy," Murphy told Fox News Digital. BOOKER 'WOWED' BY GOP CHALLENGER'S BLUNT MESSAGE TO TRUMP "This came up. And I had no idea it would become as viral or explode as it has on social media. It's what I felt. I meant what I said. I said what I meant. It wasn't planned to try to spark the reaction that we got… through social media." Clifford Case, the last Republican to represent the Garden State in the Senate, was last elected in 1972 – the same year Giants Stadium broke ground, years before the Jets joined the Giants in New Jersey and before NJ Transit was created. Murphy said that in his 60 years, he cannot remember a time when Iran’s support for terrorism, "export" of assassination or killing of its own people was not a feature of the nightly news. "I think we have a president now that is breaking from the past, and he's no longer kicking the can down the road. And I think that's important that our young people know tomorrow that they will not have to worry about what the words ‘Strait of Hormuz’ mean when this is over." TRUMP IS DISMANTLING IRAN’S WAR MACHINE, BUT AMERICA STILL NEEDS AN ENDGAME Asked how his message on Iran can overcome concerns about the war’s effect on energy prices – including among Republicans and independents in the crucial Philadelphia metro area where he lives – Murphy said it is important to offer a vision focused on long-term national and energy security. The "long-term" aspect of his message is twofold, he said, noting that he was in first grade in the Philadelphia suburb of Collingdale, Pennsylvania, the last time New Jersey elected a Republican to the Senate. "Number one – it’s time for a change. We had a good cordial debate with [Cory Booker] but he’s been a senator for 13 years – he’s been [in Washington] longer than Donald Trump." "I don't think he gets to blame Donald Trump for anything. He's part of the branch of government that passes our country's laws and writes our tax codes and passes our budgets. I'm wondering what he's willing to take responsibility or blame for." "So what I tell people is that we need a new generation of Americans to serve in Washington, a new day in New Jersey politics, and our working and middle class New Jersey desperately need a voice in the U.S. Senate, and my campaign represents all three of those." Looking to that "better tomorrow," Murphy said he understands concerns about the Iran conflict’s effect on gas prices in his area, which he put at $4.20 per gallon as of Wednesday and which have become a major point of criticism of the current administration. RNC THREATENS LEGAL ACTION AGAINST NEW JERSEY OFFICIALS OVER NONCITIZENS ON VOTER ROLLS: 'ON NOTICE' "If they're upset at gasoline at $4.20 … you were paying over $5 a gallon with Joe Biden with a 9% interest rate, with a 20% cumulative inflation rate, with an open border, rising crime rates, declining wages, and an 8% percent interest rate that is a full point or two higher than it is now," he said. Murphy said those concerned about prices should also look to domestic energy production and support policies that increase refining capacity to reduce exposure to global oil markets. He also pointed to legislation introduced moments before the interview by "Squad" member Delia Ramirez, D-Ill., to dismantle the Department of Homeland Security. "This is madness and insanity, and it's not the tomorrow that Americans want or can build together," he said. Murphy was also asked about election security in New Jersey, where hundreds of noncitizens have been found to have voted in recent elections as the Sherrill administration pushes back on federal efforts to crack down. "Election integrity is extremely and critically important, not only to me and my campaign, but to the country. We're designed as a representative government, a constitutional republic, and we need to know our elections are secure – We know we have contaminated rolls in New Jersey," he said. SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER Murphy stressed that he does not want an election system that benefits Republicans, as critics claim, but one that is fair, accurate and reflects the will of American voters. He also called Trenton’s immigration enforcement posture "utter insanity." For Murphy, the debate’s viral "Wow" moment was more than a campaign breakthrough. He sees it as a test of whether an unscripted message on national security can cut through voters’ immediate concerns about gas prices — and give Republicans a path to end their decades-long Senate drought in New Jersey. Booker's campaign did not respond to a request for comment on the exchange. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad5d05f75342cf4db924697 Epstein-linked billionaire pours $500K into super PAC backing Kentucky Democrat: 'Dirty Epstein-class money' te 2026-10-19T08:10:07.927Z Epstein-linked billionaire pours $500K into super PAC backing Kentucky Democrat: 'Dirty Epstein-class money' A Kentucky Democrat campaigning against the influence of wealthy political donors is facing calls to disavow a $500,000 contribution from billionaire Reid Hoffman to a super PAC supporting his congressional bid, with his Republican opponent blasting the financial support as "dirty Epstein class money." Hoffman contributed $500,000 to Kentuckians Not Corruption, an independent super PAC supporting Democratic congressional nominee Zach Dembo in Kentucky' s 6th Congressional District, on Sept. 24, 2026, according to Federal Election Commission records. The contribution came as the group was spending heavily on television advertisements supporting Dembo and opposing his Republican opponent, former Kentucky state Sen. Ralph Alvarado. Advertising records filed with the Federal Communications Commission show the super PAC' s weekly television advertising orders on Lexington' s WLEX- TV increased more than sevenfold between mid- September and early October, climbing from $ 14, 650 before Hoffman' s contribution to $ 109, 990 for the week of Oct. 6. "This is really, it's dirty Epstein class money fueling Zach Dembo's campaign," Alvarado told Fox News Digital. "It's offensive." EXCLUSIVE: OSSOFF CHALLENGED TO RETURN EPSTEIN-LINKED DONATION OR RETRACT ‘EPSTEIN CLASS’ ATTACK "If he has any integrity, he should, but he won't disavow it," Alvarado added. "Dembo will not disavow it. I don't even think I'll bother to ask. Again, the least they could do is apologize." Fox News Digital reached out to Dembo's team repeatedly about the contribution but did not receive a response. The criticism comes as Dembo has made combating political corruption and the influence of wealthy donors a central part of his congressional campaign, arguing on his website that "big business and the ultra-wealthy shouldn't be able to buy influence in Washington" and that we need to "get rid of dark money in politics." ABDUL EL-SAYED CONFRONTED ON SOROS TIES AFTER RIDICULING POLITICIANS FOR TAKING CORPORATE MONEY The Democratic candidate for Kentucky's 6th District has also criticized tax breaks for "billionaires and coastal elites" and pledged to fight for working families rather than wealthy political interests. Dembo, a former federal prosecutor and Navy veteran, is facing former Kentucky state Sen. Ralph Alvarado in the race to replace Republican Rep. Andy Barr, who is running for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell. The central Kentucky district, which includes Lexington, has been represented by Barr since 2013 but has drawn increased attention from national political groups as Democrats seek to flip the Republican-held seat in November. THE SOROS POLITICAL MACHINE IS PUTTING MILLIONS TO WORK BEFORE ELECTION DAY — AND ZEROING IN ON KEY RACES Hoffman's $500,000 contribution went to an independent super PAC, not Dembo's campaign committee, and federal records do not establish that Dembo solicited or directed the donation. Federal advertising records show Kentuckians Not Corruption's television operation expanded in the weeks surrounding Hoffman's donation. Kentuckians Not Corruption booked $14,650 in television advertising on Lexington's WLEX-TV for Sept. 15–21, before Hoffman contributed. Its weekly orders climbed to $26,450 for Sept. 22–28, the period during which Hoffman made his $500,000 contribution, and rose again to $35,820 for Sept. 29–Oct. 5. WATCH: GEORGIA SENATE DEBATE ERUPTS OVER WHITE SUPREMACY ALLEGATIONS, EPSTEIN TIES IN FIERY EXCHANGE The following week, the group's advertising orders surged to $109,990 for Oct. 6–12, more than seven times its mid-September level. The purchases included spots during NBC Nightly News, Today and local evening newscasts, according to the FCC records. The group's advertising campaign extended well beyond WLEX. Kentucky Public Radio reported that federal filings show Kentuckians Not Corruption had spent approximately $1.6 million on advertising in the race by mid-October, including commercials promoting Dembo and attacking Alvarado's record. "Reid Hoffman is not just an associate or a casual acquaintance of Jeffrey Epstein," Alvarado said. "He was one of his best friends. I mean, Hoffman was a guest on Epstein's private island. He was in his Manhattan townhouse. There's all kinds of images of those two together." DEM ‘EPSTEIN CLASS’ ATTACK BACKFIRES AS TOP CANDIDATES FUNDED BY EPSTEIN-TIED BILLIONAIRE "Hoffman once sent Epstein a shipment of ice cream on Christmas Eve with a note that said that the treat was either for yourself or for the girls," Alvarado continued, citing documents released by the Justice Department. SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER Alvarado also accused Dembo of hypocrisy over his criticism of wealthy political donors and opposition to dark money, arguing that the Democrat was benefiting from the very kind of outside financial support he has publicly criticized. "The hypocrisy is so thick from Dembo in which he claims he won't take it, but yet here he is," Alvarado said. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad5d05f75342cf4db92468e WHO'S WHO: Inside France's 'Chaos Inc.' franchise of communist groups, labor unions and global activists te 2026-10-19T08:10:07.015Z WHO'S WHO: Inside France's 'Chaos Inc.' franchise of communist groups, labor unions and global activists As France's fiery student protests merged with a nationwide revolt on Saturday, a communist leader and academic, Vijay Prashad, celebrated the unrest with a message linking protests across three continents. "Paris-New Delhi-Buenos Aires," Prashad posted on X, borrowing a line from the British punk band The Clash: "Let fury have the hour, anger can be power." Prashad was important not only for what he said but who he is: executive director of Tricontinental Ltd., a nonprofit funded by an American-born Marxist tech tycoon, Neville Roy Singham, who lives in Shanghai. The message captured how France's riots have become part of a wider international narrative of rebellion — a kind of "Chaos, Inc." — amplified by a transnational network of communist and socialist organizations stretching from Europe to Asia, Australia, Africa and South America and North America. FRANCE IS DEVOURING ITSELF AS SCHOOL RIOTS REVEAL A CRISIS FAR BIGGER THAN BROKEN CLASSROOMS A Fox News Digital investigation has identified 54 organizations and movements in France's October student protests and their wider network of supporters and international amplifiers, including communist parties, revolutionary socialist groups, labor unions, environmental activists, Muslim student advocates, Palestinian-solidarity organizations and international media outlets. Of the 54 organizations identified in the October protest ecosystem, 16 — or only about one in three — are student or youth organizations, including communist youth groups and a Muslim student association. The remaining 38 include adult-led communist groups, labor unions, political parties, revolutionary-left organizations, advocacy groups and international propaganda outlets. They include Gilets jaunes, or "Yellow Vests," a radical far-left group that led protests with other groups this weekend, and far-left socialist political party La France Insoumise (LFI), or France Unbowed. From the outset, far-left socialist and communist organizations helped organize and amplify France’s student revolt, using grievances over school conditions as a pretext to mobilize a broader political struggle against capitalism, government austerity, policing and military spending. HOUSE PANEL WARNS SINGHAM-LINKED NONPROFITS: COMPLY WITH SUBPOENAS OR FACE CONGRESS In a sign of unrest to come, France is inspiring an expansion of Chaos Inc. Fox News Digital has learned an international coalition of 28 communist and socialist youth and organizations are galvanizing students and youth for a coordinated strike across 12 countries in Europe under the slogan "Fight for Our Future, Not Their Wars!" They are calling for walkouts, demonstrations, assemblies, blockades and occupations. Among the international amplifiers for this mayhem are organizations within the Singham network, including Tricontinental, named for a communist convention in Havana, Cuba in 1966, CodePink and BreakThrough News, a New York-based media outlet, which promoted coverage of the weekend's mayhem in France with the headline: "ANTI-MACRON PROTESTS ROCK FRANCE."  It shared a montage of chaotic scenes from Montpellier, Paris, Marseille, Bordeaux, Strasbourg and Saint-Étienne, showing activists engulfed in smoke, Palestinian flags flapping above the crowds, black smoke billowing over flames and police hitting demonstrators with clubs. Its editors added a soundtrack of dramatic music. Its videos include politicians from the far-left socialist political party La France Insoumise (LFI). In an interview with BreakThrough News, Jodie Evans, Singham's wife and co-founder of a far-left group he funded, CodePink, promoted a planned November campaign in Washington opposing U.S. military spending. She explicitly invoked youth demonstrations abroad, including France, Spain and India, while urging Americans to participate in CodePink's campaign. "I want people to look at France, Spain, and India," Evans said, urging Americans to take to the streets. Fox News Digital has prepared a "Who's Who Guide to Chaos Inc. in France," identifying the 54 organizations in the international network promoting the riots and protests in France, from direct organizing to participation, public solidarity and media amplification.

Shah’s campaign disclosed two in-kind contributions totaling $152.66. The entries list a $50 press release contribution dated Aug. 21 and $102.66 in signage dated Sept. 18. The contributions provided campaign materials and services. The press release entry coincided with HRC PAC’s endorsement of Shah for Arizona’s First Congressional District. In announcing its endorsement, the organization described the race as important to securing a congressional majority supporting its policy priorities. “The Human Rights Campaign is proud to endorse [Amish Shah’s] candidacy and to work to get him elected this November,” HRC President Kelley Robinson said. Arizonans, you deserve a champion who will address the real issues — let’s send Dr. Amish Shah to Congress and help secure a pro-equality majority! Read more ➡️: https://t.co/JrqPNMbKb3 — Human Rights Campaign Rapid Response (@HRC) August 21, 2026 The endorsement announcement’s disclaimer identifies Human Rights Campaign PAC as paying for the communication and states that Amish for Arizona authorized it. Shah responded to the endorsement in a statement describing himself as “a longtime ally of Arizona’s LGBTQ+ community” and saying he was “proud to fight for the community in my time in the State House.” The endorsement and reported contributions have drawn criticism from the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), which pointed to Shah’s votes on legislation involving minors’ surgeries, school athletics, and restroom access. “Arizona families don’t agree with Socialist Amish Shah’s extreme views like backing child transgender sex change surgeries or men in women’s sports. But that’s exactly the far-left agenda Socialist Shah would pursue in Washington if elected,” NRCC spokesman Ben Petersen said. Shah voted against Senate Bill 1138, which prohibited physicians from providing specified irreversible gender reassignment surgeries to patients younger than 18. The House passed the measure 31–26 on March 24, 2022, and then-Gov. Doug Ducey signed it March 30. The law’s definition includes mastectomies, breast augmentation, and specified genital procedures performed for gender transition. It preserves exceptions involving certain disorders of sex development, treatment of complications from previous procedures, and physical conditions requiring surgery to prevent imminent death or impairment of a major bodily function. Its prohibition addresses surgical procedures. Shah did not explain his vote during the House floor decision on the legislation. HRC urged Ducey to veto SB 1138, arguing that lawmakers were interfering with healthcare decisions involving transgender children and their families. “It is simply not the job of legislators to make healthcare decisions for the families who this legislation will directly impact,” HRC Arizona State Director Bridget Sharpe said. The same statement opposed Senate Bill 1165, the Save Women’s Sports Act, which Shah also voted against. That legislation required covered school athletic teams to be designated according to biological sex and prohibited students of the male sex from participating on teams designated for females, women, or girls. The sports measure covered public schools and private schools competing against them, including institutions of higher education. It permitted female students to participate on teams designated for males and preserved coeducational competition. The House approved it 31–24, with five members not voting, on March 24, 2022. After Ducey signed both bills March 30, HRC issued a statement condemning his decision, expressly identifying the surgery and sports restrictions. Shah had previously opposed House Bill 2706, a 2020 proposal restricting participation on female school athletic teams based on biological sex. The House passed that bill 31–29, with all Democrats voting against it. The measure subsequently stalled in the Senate Rules Committee and never received a Senate floor vote. His voting record also includes opposition to Senate Bill 1040, a 2023 proposal governing public school restrooms, changing facilities, and sleeping accommodations. The bill would have required reasonable accommodations for people unwilling or unable to use facilities designated for their sex. Possible accommodations included single-occupancy or employee facilities. The proposal excluded accommodations allowing access to opposite-sex restrooms or changing facilities when others were or could be present. It also would have authorized lawsuits under specified circumstances involving access to facilities designated for the opposite sex. Shah voted against the measure when the House passed it 31–27 on May 15, 2023. Gov. Katie Hobbs vetoed it June 8. Shah faces Republican nominee Jay Feely in Arizona’s First Congressional District.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad5cbb375342cf4db924619 Pima County Asks Voters To Increase Spending Cap By $610 Million te 2026-10-19T07:50:11.578Z Pima County Asks Voters To Increase Spending Cap By $610 Million By Staff Reporter | Pima County voters will decide on Election Day in November whether to increase the spending cap by 75%, from $817 million to more than $1.4 billion.  Proposition 425 would increase the county’s permanent base, or expenditure, limit that aids in calculating the county’s spending limit under state law.  Arizona law requires all counties, cities, and towns to limit how much local revenue may be spent. Counties and municipalities calculate expenditure limits by multiplying the amount spent in fiscal year 1979-80 by the estimated growth in population and a measure of inflation.  The county spent $1.8 billion and accrued a revenue of $2.1 billion in fiscal year 2026-2027. Estimates from the county show that it has utilized at or near 100% of its expenditure limit since 2001.  The county FAQ page states that the approval of Proposition 425 would add $70 million to its 1979-80 expenditure base. As noted by Scott Day Freeman, an attorney with the Goldwater Institute, a Phoenix-based public policy and litigation firm, the $70 million was based on 1980 dollars rather than 2026 dollars. According to the ballot language, the $70 million is actually more than $610 million when adjusting each future year for population and inflation growth since 1980.  In the proposition, the county stated that it doesn’t anticipate approaching full utilization of the increased expenditure limit for another 20 years at least.  Pima County Supervisor Rex Scott told KOLD that the county will continue to run out its expenditure limit in the years to come. Scott said that the expenditure limit by design has failed to keep up with modern budgeting needs. “What we know from looking at our own expenditure and revenue projections is that we’re going to bump up against that expenditure limit in the next two to three years,” said Scott. The county also stated that the spending cap increase would not authorize any new tax or raise any existing tax, and would be allowing the county to spend existent revenue that it cannot legally touch.  Pima County Supervisor Steve Christy told The Center Square that he had concerns with how the board plans to spend the money, which he called a “blank check,” if the proposition is approved. Christy said he believes the board has failed to target spending on “core foundational matters,” citing infrastructure, road repair, public transportation, and public safety.  “They want to have the ability and flexibility to spend more money by removing these cap restrictions,” said Christy. Some citizens believe the county’s ask is too great. A coalition of these citizens formed the bipartisan “No on Prop 425” campaign to try to dissuade voters from approving an expenditure limit increase. The campaign’s co-chairs, State Sen. Sally Gonzales (LD-20), a Democrat, and Jay Tolkhoff, a former Republican candidate for Tucson City Council, believe the spending cap increase is too large.  Despite what the county promised, Tolkhoff said he worries the increase would eventually cause property taxes to be raised. “They can say, you know, no taxes,” said Tolkhoff. “You start spending more money; that money’s going to come from some place, and it’s going to come from higher property taxes.” AZ Free News is your #1 source for Arizona news and politics.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona, the charges were filed between October 10 and October 16, 2026, as part of ongoing federal efforts to combat illegal immigration and human smuggling throughout the state. During the enforcement period, prosecutors filed 136 cases involving individuals accused of illegally reentering the United States after previously being removed, along with charges against 123 individuals accused of illegally entering the country. Federal authorities also filed 17 cases against 20 individuals accused of smuggling illegal immigrants into and throughout Arizona. The cases were referred or supported by several federal law enforcement agencies, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), U.S. Border Patrol, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Among the notable cases highlighted by federal prosecutors were charges filed October 13 against Jesus Manuel Calixtro-Rodriguez and Julio Cesar Ramos-Mendez, who were accused of conspiring to transport illegal immigrants for profit. According to the criminal complaint, Border Patrol surveillance cameras observed Calixtro-Rodriguez driving a Dodge Ram along Federal Route 15 on the Tohono O’odham Nation on October 10. Authorities reported that he stopped near a location known for human smuggling pickups, where several individuals entered the vehicle. When Border Patrol agents attempted to conduct an immigration inspection, Calixtro-Rodriguez allegedly refused to stop, prompting agents to deploy a tire deflation device. The vehicle’s occupants fled on foot, but agents apprehended Calixtro-Rodriguez and three passengers, including Ramos-Mendez. Authorities determined that the passengers were Mexican nationals unlawfully present in the United States. Investigators identified Ramos-Mendez as the group’s foot guide and discovered that he had previously been removed from the country without authorization to return. He was additionally charged with illegal reentry. In a separate case, Christopher Paul Lopez was charged on October 9 with transporting an illegal immigrant following an October 8 traffic stop along Interstate 10. According to federal prosecutors, an Arizona Department of Public Safety trooper discovered Lopez lying in the rear of a Land Rover and subsequently recovered a loaded Glock 19 handgun from a bag inside the vehicle. Following further questioning, authorities suspected that Lopez and the driver were involved in human smuggling. Border Patrol agents later determined that the driver was a Mexican national unlawfully present in the United States and learned that Lopez had allegedly been paid to accompany the driver from Tucson to Phoenix. Another case involved Jose Avendano-Soto, who was charged on October 13 with transporting an illegal immigrant after Border Patrol agents observed a group crossing the U.S.-Mexico border wall using a rope ladder. According to the criminal complaint, seven individuals exited an SUV near the border wall on October 8. Five crossed into the United States, while two remained behind to conceal the group’s footprints before returning to Mexico. Agents later located the five individuals hiding in vegetation while wearing camouflage clothing. Four were identified as Guatemalan nationals and one as a Mexican national, all unlawfully present in the United States. Investigators identified Avendano-Soto as the group’s foot guide, responsible for leading the individuals across the border. The cases reflect ongoing federal efforts to prosecute illegal border crossings, unlawful reentry, and human smuggling operations throughout Arizona. Ethan Faverino is a reporter for AZ Free News.

More than 200 firefighters and EMS personnel rushed to Mount Loretto in Staten Island after the blaze began to spread inside an empty warehouse at around 5:45 p.m. on Saturday, FDNY chief of operations Kevin Woods said at a press conference that evening. "There is heavy, heavy damage to this structure, the roof did collapse, and right now we’re maintaining a collapse zone around that structure," Woods said. NYC 5-ALARM FIRE INJURES AT LEAST 17 FIREFIGHTERS, OTHERS AS BLAZE DAMAGES MULTIPLE APARTMENT BUILDINGS "Upon arrival, units encountered heavy fire throughout the building and immediately went into a defensive operation," Woods said. "We set up multiple large-caliber stream tower ladders and handlines." The warehouse at 6581 Hylan Boulevard has been vacant for five years, but it is located near several other structures on the Mount Loretto grounds, including two schools and the historic Old Church of St. Joachim and St. Anne, which was famously featured in exterior shots of the baptism scene of the 1972 film "The Godfather." FIRE BREAKS OUT AT HISTORIC BROADWAY THEATER THAT HOSTS 'THE BOOK OF MORMON' IN NEW YORK CITY The ornate Catholic church was largely destroyed by a fire in 1973, though its façade survived, and it was rebuilt three years later. Firefighters managed to control the blaze on Saturday and stop it from spreading to the other buildings. The fire was under control at around 8:30 p.m. "It’s very windy out here tonight. Our units did a great job with many of the flying embers, preventing additional structures from going on fire," Woods said. Woods said one firefighter suffered a minor burn injury to his leg. The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the Fire Marshal’s office.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad59ccd75342cf4db92356f Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier secures state arrest warrant for Raúl Castro te 2026-10-19T04:30:05.936Z Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier secures state arrest warrant for Raúl Castro Florida has obtained a state arrest warrant for former Cuban leader Raúl Castro on a no-bond charge of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder stemming from the 1996 Brothers to the Rescue shootdown, according to a warrant obtained by Fox News Digital. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, whose office reopened the state's investigation into Castro after he took office, is expected to announce the new arrest warrant alongside Gov. Ron DeSantis at a press conference Monday morning. The no-bond warrant, issued in Miami-Dade County, directs law enforcement to immediately arrest Castro and says a judge found probable cause to believe he conspired to commit first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of four men aboard the unarmed civilian aircraft. The warrant marks a new front in efforts to hold Castro accountable for the Feb. 24, 1996, attack, which has long reverberated through South Florida's Cuban-American community. Castro already faces a separate federal prosecution over the shootdown. HAVANA REGIME IN SUSPENSE AFTER CASTRO INDICTMENT WITH TRUMP PRESSURE ON, SAYS CUBAN-BORN GOP REP. "The investigation revealed evidence of a conspiracy to kill persons aboard BTTR aircraft. The deaths of Carlos Costa, Pablo Morales, Mario de la Peña, and Armando Alejandre Jr. were the object of that conspiracy," the warrant reads. According to the warrant, investigators allege that in 1996, the Castro regime's foreign intelligence service's plan to shoot down Brothers to the Rescue aircraft and kill their occupants traveled through the chain of command, with Raúl Castro and his brother, former Cuban leader Fidel Castro, as the final decision-makers. "They have violated the airspace, the waters of the Republic. I made it clear that this had to be decentralized if we wanted it to do its job, and five generals were given the authority. I used to say: Try to shoot them down over our territory. But they would come into Havana and leave," Raúl Castro, now 95, said in a recorded statement months after the incident, recounting orders he gave to senior military leaders before the shootdown, according to the warrant. "Of course, with a missile shot like that, plane against plane, what comes down is a ball of fire, and it is going to fall on top of the city. So I said: Fine, shoot them down at sea when they show up, and those who have the authority are not to consult anyone," he added in his statement. RAÚL CASTRO MAKES FIRST PUBLIC APPEARANCE SINCE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION CHARGED HIM WITH MURDER Brothers to the Rescue is a Miami-based organization that flew unarmed civilian aircraft to search for Cuban migrants stranded or lost at sea. By the mid-1990s, the group had also become involved in anti-Castro political activity, including dropping pro-democracy leaflets over Cuba. The Cuban government has rejected the U.S. prosecution of Castro, maintaining that Brothers to the Rescue repeatedly violated Cuban airspace and that Cuba acted in defense of its sovereignty. The warrant indicates that Florida authorities are seeking full extradition of Raúl Castro if he is arrested outside the Sunshine State, authorizing authorities to pursue his return to Florida to face the felony charge if he is arrested in another U.S. jurisdiction. The attorney general’s Office of Statewide Prosecution will assume jurisdiction over the multi-circuit criminal conspiracy case against Castro.

The NFC North is once again a very strong group to begin the 2026 season, and perhaps for the second straight week, the NFC East will be winless. Last week, the Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles both lost, while the New York Giants and Washington Commanders managed an overtime tie in wacky fashion. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE After the Giants and Eagles lost in the 1 p.m. slate this Sunday, the Cowboys were routed at Lambeau Field by a Packers team that did much of the same against their divisional foe, the Chicago Bears. That leaves the Commanders, sitting at the bottom of the division at 1-3-1, as the only team still able to pick up a victory, though it will be tough on the road against a red-hot San Francisco 49ers squad that remains unbeaten. It’s too early to say this NFC East division has shades of 2020, when Washington won it at 7-9, but it’s been an interesting start to say the least. In recent seasons, one team usually breaks away from the pack and wins pretty comfortably, but each team has its own issues that need addressing at the moment. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! For the Cowboys, it was the defense entering this game against the Packers. Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels looked too comfortable in "Jerry’s World" in just his second career start, and first road game, in Week 5’s shocking win over Dallas. The Cowboys brought Mike Pettine out of retirement, hiring him as a senior defensive assistant to help out Christian Parker, the team’s defensive coordinator, get this group back on track. A seasoned football mind might be what the Cowboys need in the long run, but it didn’t work tonight against the Packers. It was an inauspicious start for the Packers through the first three weeks. In fact, Mike LaFleur’s seat was getting quite hot after a blowout loss at home to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3. Since then, they’ve ripped off three straight wins, and a big reason is Jordan Love looking comfortable again in the pocket for Green Bay. The franchise man continues to build a strong rapport with his receivers, finishing 23-of-41 for 276 yards with a touchdown pass to Matthew Golden, who led the game with 104 yards on six grabs. And this comes after Love threw for 367 yards with two touchdowns in the 31-7 win last week. The Packers are simply buzzing now, which includes their defense continuing to take the ball away. They came into this game with nine on the year, and they added two more after picking off Dak Prescott twice. Unlike the NFC East, the North, a division where every team finished above .500, have all gotten off to solid starts. The Packers and Bears are both 4-2 now after their wins on Sunday. The Minnesota Vikings, who remain undefeated at 5-0, and Detroit Lions, who are 3-2, are both on bye weeks. There’s so much football left to play, but the fact that the NFC East could go two weeks without a single team getting a win, while the NFC North can’t stop winning, goes to show the parody that makes the NFL so much fun each week. For teams in the East, though, it would be more fun if they could get a victory. But at this rate, with a slow division race, all three who played Sunday will hope Washington doesn't shock the football world on Monday night.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad587b875342cf4db922fa3 Arizona man accused of plotting mass casualty attack on religious site with 'cookbook' tied to OKC bombing te 2026-10-19T03:00:08.102Z Arizona man accused of plotting mass casualty attack on religious site with 'cookbook' tied to OKC bombing An Arizona man who allegedly plotted a mass casualty attack on a Jewish or Muslim house of worship is being accused by prosecutors of possessing an infamous bomb-making manual linked to the Oklahoma City bomber. Matthew Bjornholt, 27, faces a felony count of making a terrorist threat in connection with his alleged plot to attack a religious site. Prosecutors in Maricopa County said Bjornholt laid out a chilling blueprint for violence that involved guns, explosives and an accomplice tasked with gunning down survivors. During an initial court appearance on Friday, prosecutor Stephen Garcia sought a $500,000 cash bond, calling Bjornholt an imminent danger to the community, according to FOX 10. TRANS NEO-NAZI ACCUSED OF PLOTTING HINDU TEMPLE MASSACRE, WILL RECEIVE HORMONE TREATMENT IN JAIL: OFFICIALS Bjornholt allegedly outlined detailed plans to attack a religious site, according to Garcia, who also claimed the suspect kept a copy of "The Anarchist Cookbook," a manual containing bomb-making instructions that has been linked to Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. Garcia alleged that Bjornholt referred to the book as his "Bible." The alleged plot included plans to detonate bombs before an accomplice of Bjornholt's would begin "picking off people" with firearms, according to prosecutors. Investigators later seized three guns and ammunition from Bjornholt’s home. Bjornholt’s defense attorney, Chad Schell, pushed back against the allegations, claiming that the charges are based solely on unverified hearsay from a disgruntled former acquaintance, according to FOX 10. Schell told the court that the tip came from a "homeless alcoholic" whom Bjornholt had briefly let crash on his couch before kicking him out late last month. PENNSYLVANIA MAN ACCUSED OF PLOTTING ISIS ATTACK ARRESTED WITH RIFLE AND 190 ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION: DOJ Schell said federal authorities had already investigated the claims weeks ago. Schell said the FBI executed a search warrant at Bjornholt’s home on Sept. 29 and that Bjornholt voluntarily provided investigators with his electronic devices and passwords. According to Schell, federal investigators found no evidence of terrorism or bomb-making materials and did not pursue federal charges before county authorities took over the case a couple of weeks later. "There is no evidence he's a danger to the community. What is the evidence that he's a danger to the community? Some hearsay statements from some dude — that my client kicked out of his house two days before September 29," Schell told the court. "Again, the FBI served a search warrant, got all of his electronic devices. He gave them access, gave him his passwords to those devices. They went through all of those electronic devices. They didn't see anything about terrorism. And FBI cut him loose," he continued. Schell also argued that the three seized guns were lawfully possessed, adding that Bjornholt's civil rights were restored after completing a previous sentence on a drug charge stemming from a closed first-degree murder case. According to Schell, the murder charge against Bjornholt was dropped because of a lack of evidence. The ammunition found inside the home, Schell said, was no more than standard magazine loads. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office and FBI Phoenix for comment. Despite prosecutors citing Bjornholt's criminal history in arguing for a larger bond, the judge said the state's preliminary evidence relied heavily on hearsay and set Bjornholt's bond at $100,000, according to FOX 10. The judge nevertheless found enough probable cause to move the case forward. It remains unclear whether specific houses of worship were targeted in the alleged plot or whether there was a specific accomplice. Bjornholt is scheduled to return to court on Oct. 22 for a status conference and then later for a preliminary hearing on Oct. 26.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad580ae75342cf4db922e3c Strait of Hormuz crisis traps 6,000 sailors as attacks on ships mount, UN maritime chief says te 2026-10-19T02:30:06.128Z Strait of Hormuz crisis traps 6,000 sailors as attacks on ships mount, UN maritime chief says Thousands of sailors remain stranded near the Strait of Hormuz amid escalating attacks on commercial ships, the United Nations' top maritime official warned Sunday after Iran accused the U.S. military of using an international emergency radio channel to threaten civilian crews. The warning also came amid reports that 24 ships had been attacked on the waterway over roughly two weeks, underscoring growing concerns about maritime safety in the region, according to Financial Times. "The situation continues to be severe and critical when it comes to international shipping," International Maritime Organization (IMO) Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez told Fox News Digital. "There is a double blockade and too many vessels have been attacked, particularly in recent days. 'VAST MAJORITY' OF IRAN'S ATTEMPTED ATTACKS ON STRAIT OF HORMUZ ARE UNSUCCESSFUL, CENTCOM SPOKESMAN SAYS "Seafarers have continued to perish in these attacks and around 6,000 seafarers remain trapped since the beginning of the conflict," he warned, adding that his message was not to transit the Strait of Hormuz or put seafarers at risk "until we have guarantees." Dominguez's warning followed an Oct. 9 letter to the IMO in which Iran alleged that the U.S. military used VHF Channel 16, an internationally designated maritime distress and safety channel, to intimidate Iranian crews in the Persian Gulf. "VHF Channel 16 has been repeatedly occupied for prolonged periods by the United States military forces operating in the Persian Gulf," the letter stated. TRUMP OPENS HORMUZ UNDER FIRE WITH ‘PROJECT FREEDOM’ AS IRAN WARNS OF ATTACKS "During such transmissions, Iranian seafarers have been addressed in Persian with threatening, abusive and provocative language and in certain instances urged to abandon their vessels." In a statement to Fox News Digital, U.S. Central Command defended its enforcement of the naval blockade of Iranian ports. "The U.S. naval blockade has been in place for months and is professionally communicated to all international mariners," CENTCOM said. "Vessels that refuse to comply with blockade enforcement receive multiple warnings, with ample opportunity to comply. "American forces remain highly vigilant, focused, and professional while fully enforcing the naval blockade against Iran." Iran's complaint was submitted by Seyed Ali Mousavi, its ambassador to the IMO, and circulated to member states on Oct. 9, according to a copy reviewed by Fox News Digital. Tehran also accused American forces of turning the maritime safety channel into an "instrument of military intimidation and psychological pressure against civilian crews." The letter cited commercial vessels, shipping companies and maritime operators but provided no recordings, transcripts or specific details of the alleged exchanges. Fox News Digital could not independently verify the accusations. IRAN THREATENS TO HALT RED SEA TRAFFIC IN RESPONSE TO US MILITARY BLOCKADE OF PORTS "Seafarers are not trained for combat, and they are not guilty of any conflicts that are happening around the world," Dominguez said. "And we have seen this in several parts of the world where Channel 16, that should not be used for this kind of communication, starts receiving messages that may be perceived as actually threatening or that are outside the remit of why it was created." Iran also asked the IMO to raise its allegations with member states and relevant international organizations, potentially including the International Telecommunication Union. Dominguez said the IMO could review its regulations and procedures to determine whether stronger safeguards are needed, though he did not announce a formal investigation. "Our role here at IMO is that when those situations take place, we will then look into any technical measures or any operational aspects that we may need to clarify further within our regulatory framework," he said, stressing that member states have equal rights to raise concerns, regardless of the conflict. "We have a responsibility, and I have a duty as well, to circulate letters and notes that the countries actually put forward when they're also being affected." WHO CONTROLS THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ RIGHT NOW? HERE'S WHAT THE SHIP TRAFFIC ACTUALLY SHOWS "We take all that information, meet at the level of different meetings of the organization and have the discussions," Dominguez added. "If it's demonstrated that we probably need to improve our rules in order to avoid communications issues, or that we need to enhance the knowledge of how these channels should be used, that is a role for us." The IMO had recorded 100 confirmed maritime incidents across the region as of Oct. 9, with 24 seafarers killed since the conflict began Feb. 28. Dominguez also warned that fraudulent ship registrations and false flags have become major contributors to the danger. "What we've also seen right now is an increase in fraudulent registries with false flags that are taking the risk and acting as shuttle tankers in order to bring goods in and out," he said. "That's one of the reasons that we're seeing an escalation. "And it's the irresponsible shipowners that are taking the risk in order to actually be able to trade and move some of the goods and the cargoes." WHITE HOUSE SILENT ON IRAN-OMAN HORMUZ PLAN TEHRAN SAYS WOULD BAN US WARSHIPS "For me, any single case, any vessel that is attacked, any life of a seafarer that is lost, is a critical situation for me, because they are all relevant, they are all important." Despite the confrontation, Dominguez said diplomatic channels with Iran remain open, though he has no direct contact with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. "I have communications with all the member states of IMO, and that includes the Islamic Republic of Iran," he said. "Of course, that's through the diplomatic channels. I don't have direct contact with the IRGC. "I have conversations with them and they respond to my messages. You know, the information flows. What is difficult is to get final decisions because of the conflict that is ongoing." Fox News Digital has reached out to the Iranian embassy for comment.

Swift, the wife of the Chiefs’ beloved tight end, was spotted wearing a red turtleneck sweater next to Clark and fellow musician Este Haim in her usual suite at the stadium on the CBS broadcast. CBS cameras cut to Swift and Clark as they celebrated a Kelce catch over the middle during the Chiefs’ 22-6 rout of the Los Angeles Chargers to remain undefeated on the season.

It was this time last year Clark, a big Chiefs fan, joined Swift inside the suite with many others, including Kelce’s father, Ed Kelce. Clark revealed last summer how much she loves the Chiefs after being questioned about what she was whispering to Swift in a viral clip from a Chiefs' playoff back in January 2025. "Honestly, I love football, and I know a lot about football," Clark responded to the question from Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe on their "A Touch More" podcast. "So, I was telling her why they threw a flag or like — but in the best way. Like, I don't even know everything. "I was just explaining things, but, yeah, that was really fun. I’m a big Chiefs fan. So, getting to spend time with Taylor, and then also Travis played really well that game — the Chiefs won, it was the playoffs." Clark has noted that Swift "treats everybody with the same amount of kindness," as she told ESPN back in May 2025. While she’s enjoying time with Swift, Clark would rather be in the WNBA Finals with her Fever teammates. Instead, it’s the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries, with the latter taking Game 1 at home over the weekend. Game 2 tips off in Golden State on Monday night. The Fever fell to the Las Vegas Aces in the first round of the WBA Playoffs, losing 94-83 in Game 3, where Clark struggled from the field. She went 6-of-18 for 18 points, though she was just 3-of-12 from three-point territory. It was still another great season for the three-time All-Star, averaging 22.3 points and 8.3 assists per game across 40 contests.

Shawn Oliver, 42, the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor and a New Bedford city councilor, suspended his campaign on Sunday. The move came after Oliver was arrested following a rollover crash that involved five parked vehicles, police confirmed to Fox News Digital. Officers responded around 11:40 p.m. Saturday to 448 Dartmouth St., where a vehicle had overturned after striking multiple parked vehicles, the New Bedford Police Department said. Two of the five parked vehicles sustained extensive damage.

The Chiefs hosted the 0-5 Los Angeles Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday afternoon, and the game pretty much went as expected. LA's hapless offense wasn't able to move the ball with any consistency and the Chiefs' offense imposed their will, outside two turnovers. While the outcome might never have been in doubt, for whatever reason, one of the team's best defensive players wasn't happy about something on the Kansas City sideline. JALEN HURTS CURSES AT RECEIVER IN VIRAL HOT-MIC MOMENT DURING EAGLES' COLLAPSE AGAINST RAMS With his team ahead 9-3 in the second quarter, Chris Jones, the Chiefs' star defensive tackle, sat down on the Kansas City bench. Joe Cullen, the team's defensive line coach, came over to talk to him, putting his hand on Jones' shoulder, as coaches are wont to do. Bizarrely, Jones wasn't happy about it, immediately shoving Cullen's hand off him and starting a screaming match. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Trent Green, calling the game as an analyst for CBS, said on the broadcast that he believes Jones and Cullen "have a great relationship." As for what the disagreement was about, Green speculated that he didn't "think Chris liked the fact that he put his hand on his shoulder." He added that instead of immediately getting physical, Jones should have "asked him politely to take it off." It's still unclear what exactly the fight was over. Cullen coached Jones for the past five seasons, starting in 2022. During those five years, Jones has been first-team All-Pro three times, made the Pro Bowl each season, and won two Super Bowls. Not a bad resume together. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER After the game, Jones was seen walking off the field with tight end Travis Kelce, seemingly no worse for wear. The Chiefs went on to win Sunday's game 22-6, because of course they did. The schedule gets a little harder with a road trip to play the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field Sunday night, though given how dominant they've been, Kansas City seems likely to coast their way to another deep playoff run.

During his interview with host Dana Bash, Rogers criticized El-Sayed as Bash repeatedly pressed him to comment on President Donald Trump calling El-Sayed a "jihadist." Rogers denied ever referring to El-Sayed as a terrorist himself but argued that there were legitimate concerns over El-Sayed's ideology and his family's alleged past support for the Muslim Brotherhood. HISTORIC NEWSPAPER GIVES EL-SAYED A SAVAGE REBUKE FOR HIDING HIS PAST WHILE ENDORSING HIS OPPONENT "He has a long history of supporting the Muslim Brotherhood, which, by the way, diminishes women's role in society, just as they did when they took over in Egypt in 2012 and 2013," Rogers said. "He supported that regime." Bash began interrupting, but Rogers remarked that the press should be more concerned. "He called for the purging of the press. He called for purging of police. As a matter of fact, if I were the press, I would start looking at this," Rogers said. Later on in the segment, Rogers and Bash sparred again over a viral clip of El-Sayed responding to whether he disavows the Muslim Brotherhood after past scrutiny of his family's alleged connections to the group. Bash insisted that El-Sayed responded, "Sure, yes" when asked, but Rogers denied it, calling it a larger issue with his ideology. MICHIGAN DEMOCRAT CONFIRMS SISTER-IN-LAW'S TERROR WATCHLIST LAWSUIT DAYS BEFORE OBAMA CAMPAIGN APPEARANCE "No, that's not true. Dana, listen —" Rogers said. "I don't want to debate with you," Bash interjected. "I don't know why the press is so eager for him to protect this guy," Rogers remarked. "Congressman, I just want to be factual," Bash said. "And it is. It's an ideology. My argument is, is that ideology something we should worry about? I think it is," Rogers said. Fox News Digital reached out to CNN and Rogers' campaign for comment. EL-SAYED ASKED IF HE BELIEVES AMERICA IS 'READY FOR A MUSLIM PRESIDENT' AHEAD OF SENATE RACE El-Sayed has faced increased scrutiny in his campaign over his family after unearthed social media posts from his half-sister, Eman Abdelhadi, implied that their mother was an active member of the Muslim Brotherhood. El-Sayed's campaign has denied these claims in a statement to Fox News and argued that Rogers' accusations are "racist and untrue." "Abdul is a dad and a doctor. He has spent his entire career working to keep Michiganders healthy and safe. Independent fact checkers have repeatedly debunked Mike’s lies, but their campaign continues to use bad faith attacks on Abdul's faith and family. Mike wants to distract from Trump’s agenda that is terrorizing Michigan families at the pump and at the grocery store," the statement read. A Fox News Digital review of Grabien transcripts found that several legacy news organizations hesitated to report the initial allegations last week. When media reported on the claims, it was often limited to reporting on El-Sayed's denial.

And let's cut to the chase: Steichen said Jones is not going to be benched despite throwing two interceptions to increase his season total to six in as many games. Jones has thrown at least one interception in each of the past four games. FROM THE CHARGERS TO THE COLTS AND FALCONS, WHICH OF THE NFL'S EIGHT WINLESS TEAMS ARE ALREADY IN PANIC MODE So Jones sticks for now. "I think Daniel knows he's got to play better," Steichen said. "I got to coach better." We all know by now that neither Steichen nor general manager Chris Ballard are likely to remain past the end of this season – assuming they even last that long – unless the club gets on a roll. That's how it is when the team has lost four of its six games, including two of three at home, and the home crowd booed lustily on Sunday afternoon. The boos metastasized to "fire Ballard" chants by game's end. Steichen understood the sentiment. "We've got to give them something to cheer about, you know?" he said. "I don't blame them for booing one freaking bit." The thing is, owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon seemed inclined to agree with fans' frustrations last season when she put everyone on blast. "I'm pissed. We're all pissed," she famously said after her team's 2025 collapse, consisting of seven consecutive losses to end the season. "We have been very clear with Chris and Shane that giving them another opportunity means that the sense of urgency for them to deliver and perform has never been higher. Chris and Shane are both capable of facing this challenge head-on and finding a way to achieve the results that our fans deserve, which is winning games, getting to the postseason and ultimately winning championships." So if that was the starting point, would Irsay-Gordon be likely to support her coach and GM now in the face of boos from her best customers? Nope. TITANS CEO APOLOGIZES TO BELEAGUERED FANBASE AFTER DREADFUL START TO THE SEASON: 'WE'RE SORRY' Losing to the Titans, who have struggled to merely keep their organizational flow chart straight the past three years, blew the pick of Malik Willis as their franchise quarterback, followed that by blowing the pick of Will Levis and are on track to blow the pick of Cam Ward, is embarrassing. So, of course, questions about Steichen's job status are fair. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! "Obviously, my job is to get this team ready and that's what I'm focused on right now," Steichen said. Steichen would be lucky to finish out the season barring a change of direction by his team. Such a move wouldn't necessarily fix things, but it would help give Irsay-Gordon a head start on a search for new people while avoiding the untidy approach of going behind her coach's back.

During a recent episode of her podcast "Let's Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari," in which the 39-year-old reality star shared her opinions on women and finances, Cavallari recalled how she ended up $250,000 "in the hole" following two loans to her father Dennis Cavallari that were never repaid. "My dad came to me — I was filming ‘The Hills,’ so I must have been 22 — and asked for a large sum of money to borrow. Six figures," she said. KRISTIN CAVALLARI ADMITS HER KIDS FLY COACH WHILE SHE SITS IN FIRST CLASS "And I was making great money at the time, but it’s still — I’m 22," Cavallari continued. "Six figures is a big deal for me." "But I lent it to him, and he promised me he would pay me back," the Uncommon James founder remembered. "He probably said six months, and he was going to give me interest on top of it. And, you know, well, I didn’t get paid back. And instead, he asked to borrow more money, another six-figure number." JAMIE-LYNN SIGLER CLAIMS HER EX-HUSBAND SECRETLY STOLE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS FROM HER 'SOPRANOS' EARNINGS Cavallari said that she confronted Dennis about not repaying the first loan but ultimately relented. "I said to him, ‘You haven’t even acknowledged the first payment, and now you want more money?’" she recalled. "But because I’m such a f-----g sucker — or I was at the time — I lent him more money." WYNONNA JUDD ADMITS HELPING DAUGHTER DURING METH BATTLE ‘BIT ME IN THE BUTT' The "Laguna Beach" alum admitted she has no expectation of ever getting the money back. "I will never see that money," she said. "So, when I tell you, I’m in the hole with my own dad, a quarter of a million dollars." THE RICH HAVE ONE FINANCIAL HABIT MOST AMERICANS IGNORE AT THEIR PERIL "Talk about a bad business decision," Cavallari added. However, the TV personality acknowledged that the experience taught her the importance of setting boundaries with family and friends when it comes to money.

You know, it would be a very different conversation probably today, but it’s the lending-money-to-people thing." "When you have money, it’s almost like people expect it," Cavallari continued. "And you are in no way, shape or form required or obligated to lend anybody money, especially if you’ve worked your f---king tail off for that money." JENNIFER GARNER SAYS SHE 'PANICKED' ABOUT FINANCIAL STABILITY AFTER DIVORCE FROM BEN AFFLECK "Like I have worked my ass off for all of my money," she added.

JENNIFER GARNER SAYS DIVORCE FROM BEN AFFLECK CAUSED 'UPHEAVAL' THAT KEPT HER FROM WORKING FOR YEARS "I can’t imagine going to my kids when they’re 22 and asking for that kind of money," she said. "I guess I understand that he didn’t have a lot of options. But I don't know." "And also my relationship with my dad is very complicated," Cavallari continued. "So there are other layers to it. But for the purpose of this conversation, I just think you’re allowed to do what you want to do with your money." Cavallari shared a clip from the episode on Instagram, emphasizing the importance of financial literacy for women. "We’re talking all things MONEY this week!!" she wrote. "I’m over money being a taboo topic for women. We’re talking financial independence, the mistakes I’ve made, and everything I’ve learned along the way. If you wanna chase the bag, this one’s for you." Cavallari previously discussed her difficult relationship with Dennis and the unpaid loans during a July appearance on the "Aspire with Emma Grede" podcast. The "Balancing in Heels" author shared that she eventually came to terms with the financial loss. "I've had to grapple with it, you know, and I've ultimately put it to bed and made peace with it," she said. "I think at the time, I didn't know how to say no to my dad. That's also been sort of like a big life lesson for me. I mean, I've ultimately cut my dad out of my life."

In June 2025, Cavallari reflected on cutting ties with her father after claiming that he "traumatized" her children.

Behind a pitching gem from Drew Rasmussen, Tampa Bay silenced Progressive Field with a clinical 3-1 Game 5 victory, seizing a 3-2 series lead that pushes the Guardians to the brink of elimination and sets up a potential World Series showdown against Milwaukee. Rasmussen was lights-out. Over seven strong innings, he surrendered just one run on four hits and gave Cleveland virtually no room to breathe. The Guardians had no answers at the plate, and when they threatened again in the seventh, Rasmussen erased the danger with a 6-4-3 double play. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! The Rays didn't need big home runs to take control; they simply chipped away early. Jonny DeLuca worked a bases-loaded walk in the first, Jonathan Aranda lined an RBI single in the second, and Liam Hicks dropped in an RBI single of his own in the third. Cleveland looked flat from start to finish. The Guardians had no rhythm at the plate, swinging right through Rasmussen's best pitches and struggling to string at-bats together. Their only run came on an infield groundout in the sixth, and Tampa Bay's bullpen locked down the final six outs without breaking a sweat, capped by Bryan Baker closing it out in the ninth. BREWERS MANAGER HAS EPIC QUOTE STRAIGHT FROM HOLLYWOOD SCRIPT AFTER SWEEPING VAUNTED DODGERS The series now heads back south to St. Petersburg for Game 6.

The move came after the Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted two drones in the Riyadh area, a third over the Eastern Province and two ballistic missiles in southern Saudi Arabia overnight, after authorities had earlier issued a threat alert in the capital, also shared on X. Management at the 99-story Kingdom Centre, a landmark on Riyadh's skyline, ordered office employees to work remotely until further notice, according to reporting by Agence France-Presse (AFP). The directive affects a building whose tenants include major international financial institutions such as Merrill Lynch, consulting giant McKinsey & Company and the International Monetary Fund. THE HOUTHIS AREN'T SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROBLEM. AMERICA CAN'T AFFORD TO LOOK AWAY "Please be advised that remote working arrangements are mandatory for all office employees at Kingdom Centre, effective immediately and until further notice," building management said in an email obtained by AFP. Employees were instructed not to report back to their offices. The shopping mall at the base of the tower, however, remained open to the public. Management did not specify a reason for the directive, but it came as repeated missile and drone attacks by Yemen's Houthis disrupted the Saudi capital. The security concerns also follow a deadly Oct. 10 attack on King Khalid International Airport that killed 13 people and wounded more than 300 others. As previously reported by Fox News Digital, another strike the following day killed one person and injured 11. Airport operations have been severely disrupted, while schools in Riyadh have extended remote learning measures amid continued security threats. SAUDI ARABIA FACING 'BIGGEST THREAT' EVER TO OIL PRODUCTION AS IRAN-PROXY HOUTHIS LAUNCH ATTACKS, EXPERT SAYS The mounting crisis comes as Saudi Arabia's military reported two deaths in a helicopter crash near its southern border with Yemen. Maj. Gen. Turki al-Maliki, spokesperson for the Saudi-led coalition, said Sunday that an AH-6i reconnaissance helicopter crashed in the Najran region because of a technical malfunction, killing both crew members. Saudi civil defense authorities also reported Sunday that six people were injured when a hostile projectile struck a residential neighborhood in Najran, damaging three homes and three vehicles. Meanwhile, Egypt moved toward potentially providing military assistance to Saudi Arabia as the kingdom confronts the growing Houthi threat. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi requested an emergency parliamentary session to authorize defensive military support for Saudi Arabia if requested by Riyadh, Reuters reported. Lawmakers were expected to continue discussions Monday. NEW RISK FOR US CONSUMERS AS IRAN-BACKED ATTACKS THREATEN A SECOND MAJOR OIL CHOKEPOINT The Egyptian presidency said Cairo was prepared to provide Saudi Arabia with necessary support to defend its security, stability, territorial integrity and Islamic holy sites. The statement followed a meeting of Egypt's National Defense Council chaired by el-Sissi and attended by senior government and military officials. Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty also spoke with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan about regional developments and the importance of de-escalation, according to a post on X. The potential involvement of Egypt, which has one of the Arab world's largest militaries, could significantly expand the regional response to the Houthis. The Iran-backed group now controls Yemen's capital, Sanaa, and much of the country's north. Fighting with the Saudi-led coalition, which supports Yemen's internationally recognized government, has intensified amid the broader U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran.

BYU took down Notre Dame, with a little help from yet another controversial last second game clock issue. Auburn beat the heavily favored Georgia Bulldogs in Athens. Florida rose from the dead to upset Texas in Austin on the back of another disappointing performance from Arch Manning. Tennessee had a big home win over Alabama, holding the powerful Crimson Tide offense to just 10 points. Miami held on to beat Florida State thanks to some questionable officiating, but just not losing bumped the Hurricanes up to No. 1. But arguably the most impactful win of the weekend was The Ohio State Buckeyes ending Indiana's 22-game winning streak in Bloomington. With around a minute remaining, Indiana seemed to tie it when Josh Hoover hit a wide open Nick Marsh in the end zone. Marsh's foot came down just out of bounds, however, and Ohio State hung on to the 19-15 win. WEEK 7 AP TOP 25 POLL FEATURES A COMPLETE SHUFFLE AFTER CHAOTIC WEEKEND, WITH MIAMI TAKING OVER THE TOP SPOT Thanks to the 12-team playoff, the win for OSU and loss for Indiana wouldn't typically mean either team is out of the running. And this week's AP Top 25 Poll reflects that; Ohio State is No. 3, and Indiana is No. 5, thanks to the carnage around them. So how could it be the most impactful? Because of what happened to starting quarterback Julian Sayin's shoulder in the fourth quarter. Indiana defensive lineman Mario Landino sacked Sayin in the fourth quarter, forcing a fumble and the injury when he hit the ground. The 21-year-old junior immediately could be seen favoring his right arm and went to the locker room, emerging a few minutes afterward with his arm in a sling. After the game, head coach Ryan Day was light on specifics, saying he didn't have further details on what exactly the injury was, but did admit that Sayin's likely to miss "several weeks." Day was adamant that true freshman backup Luke Fahey would be able to step in, particularly with a bye week approaching. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE "We'll regroup," he said. "We've got a good team. When Luke's in there, we just may need to do things just a little bit differently, but the bye week gives us a chance to regroup on that and put our heads together." After replacing Sayin, Fahey went 0-2 passing, though he did draw a penalty that helped extend a Buckeyes' drive. The bye week reps will help, but as a true freshman, Fahey's light on college experience and now thrust into the starting role at a pivotal time. Which is why Sayin's injury could reshape the playoff picture. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Though OSU has the bye week coming up, their next game is on the road against the No. 16 USC Trojans. With Sayin, the Buckeyes would be sizable favorites. With a true freshman backup? The calculus might change significantly. The SC defense isn't Indiana, but making your first career start, on the road, in front of what's sure to be a sold-out, hostile LA Coliseum crowd, against a team hungry to make statement and reach the College Football Playoff for the first time in Lincoln Riley's tenure? It's not ideal, to say the least. If Sayin isn't able to return after SC, the Buckeyes return home to face ... Oregon. While that matchup no longer looks like the battle of top-5 teams it looked like in the preseason, the Ducks' defense is still extremely talented, and even with their backup QB's, pulled out an impressive win against a very good Nebraska team. The schedule doesn't get much easier after that either. Ranked Northwestern comes to Columbus. Then the Buckeyes travel to Lincoln to play Nebraska, and host Michigan in "The Game." SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER Without further specifics on Sayin's injury, it's hard to say how many games he might miss, but even the SC game alone could have enormous ramifications. USC is on the playoff bubble, but if the Trojans beat Wisconsin and OSU, now with Fahey playing, they'd immediately move into the top-10. A slip up at home against a still dangerous Oregon team, and the Buckeyes could suddenly be on the outside of the top-12 looking in. That could open the door for more SEC or Big 12 teams to jump in. Or maybe Iowa, considering the Hawkeyes' relatively favorable closing schedule compared to other top programs in the two superconferences. There's a long way to go, with nearly half the season's games left to be played. Ohio State could still beat USC on the road, even with a backup, considering the Trojans' struggles to win big games under Riley and their suffocating defense. Sayin could also return by the first week of November, with OSU staying on track to go to the Big Ten Championship Game. But there are suddenly a lot more variables for the Buckeyes than it looked like. In a year where any and all teams seem beatable, by anyone, Ohio State heads into games against USC and Oregon with a true freshman quarterback. It could be bad news for the Buckeyes, and good for everyone else.

Thomas Boyer Bryan, 18, exited a game after landing on his right shoulder when he was sacked during the opening drive, according to The Tennessean. Thomas Boyer Bryan, who goes by "Bo," was later spotted on the sidelines wearing a sling on his right arm as his Battle Ground Academy team played against Pope John Paul II Preparatory School in Tennessee. LUKE BRYAN THREATENS TO 'KNOCK THE S--- OUT OF' ONLINE TROLLS TRASHING HIS NEW SONG Bo threw for 2,006 yards and 30 touchdowns with three interceptions through seven games this season to bring the team to a 6-1 record in his first season as a starter, the outlet reported. Bo told The Tennessean he would undergo an X-ray following the game. "I don’t know what we’re looking at yet," coach Bobby Bentley told The Tennessean. "We’ll have to figure this thing out. That’s the challenge for us as a team and as coaches. What do we do? How do we do it? We’re going to figure it out." LUKE BRYAN TRIES HIS HAND AT WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY WITH JASON ALDEAN BY HIS SIDE On Instagram the following day, Bo told his social media followers that he broke his collar bone. "Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers. We will be back," he said, per USA Today. Bryan's representatives did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. TOM BRADY AND BRIDGET MOYNAHAN REUNITE AT SON JACK'S HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION The country music legend admitted last month that he was "super impressed" watching his son play.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad5648f75342cf4db922603 Rams have a legitimate gripe with NFL officials, but their 2-4 record is the bigger problem te 2026-10-19T00:30:07.459Z Rams have a legitimate gripe with NFL officials, but their 2-4 record is the bigger problem The Los Angeles Rams have another reason to complain about NFL officiating. They also have a 2-4 record after losing at home to an Arizona Cardinals team that entered Sunday with one win. I'd be a lot more concerned about the second part. Yes, a questionable personal foul helped Arizona get into position for the winning field goal in its 18-16 victory. Rams fans have every right to be frustrated, especially given what happened against Denver earlier this season. FORMER NFL QB SEAN SALISBURY WANTS OFFICIALS TO FACE POSTGAME QUESTIONS LIKE PLAYERS AND COACHES But this was supposed to be the NFL's superteam. The preseason Super Bowl favorite. A team built to win a championship right now. Instead, Los Angeles needed a touchdown in the final minute just to take the lead against the Cardinals. Then it couldn't get through the remaining 47 seconds. That's a problem that goes well beyond the officials. Matthew Stafford's 6-yard touchdown pass to Colby Parkinson capped an 86-yard drive and tied the score 15-15 with 47 seconds remaining. But what should have been a routine go-ahead extra point was anything but. Rams kicker Blake Grupe had injured his knee tackling Devin Duvernay just over five minutes into the game and did not return, leaving punter Ethan Evans to attempt the crucial kick. RAMS KICKER BLAKE GRUPE KNOCKS HIMSELF OUT OF HIS DEBUT WITH A DISASTROUS TACKLE ATTEMPT He drilled it, and for a moment it looked like Los Angeles was going to escape with a win it probably didn't deserve. But one play, albeit a controversial one, was all Arizona needed to reach field-goal range. The Rams jumped offsides on the first snap of the Cardinals' possession, giving quarterback Jacoby Brissett a free play to take a shot down the field. He hit Jalen Brooks for 21 yards. Rams cornerback Josh Wallace was flagged for unnecessary roughness on the tackle, adding 15 yards and moving the Cardinals to the Los Angeles 29-yard line. FOX analyst Greg Olsen repeatedly insisted during the broadcast that Wallace's hit wasn't a foul. FOX rules analyst Mike Pereira also said there wasn't enough to warrant a personal foul. After three running plays, Chad Ryland hit a 43-yard field goal as time expired. It was Ryland's sixth field goal of the day. The questionable call certainly helped Arizona. But the Rams had already given Brissett a free play and allowed a 21-yard completion on a drive that began with 47 seconds remaining and the Cardinals out of timeouts. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Making the ending even more frustrating for Rams fans was the player involved. Wallace was flagged for pass interference against Denver, erasing an interception. Rams head coach Sean McVay later said the NFL acknowledged it was a mistake. Now Wallace and the Rams have another call to be angry about, and another loss in the standings. Look, saying a team should have played better doesn't excuse a questionable call that helps decide the game. The officials still have a job to do, regardless of what happened before the flag. But so do McVay, the Rams' offensive line and a defense that took the field with a lead and 47 seconds remaining. Los Angeles needed a last-minute touchdown to take the lead over a team that entered the red zone five times and failed to score a single touchdown. SEAN MCVAY IS 'SICK' ABOUT HIS OVERTIME CALL AS ANOTHER SUPER BOWL COACH PUBLICLY REGRETS END OF GAME DECISION Arizona's pass rush repeatedly disrupted the Rams' offense, keeping Stafford off-balance for most of the game. Now, credit to Stafford: He showed up with the game on the line and led his team on an 86-yard touchdown drive to take the lead. Still, the Rams had nine points through 59 minutes. That's a pretty big concern for a team led by Stafford with offensive weapons like Puka Nacua, Davante Adams and Kyren Williams. The upcoming schedule gives the Rams a chance to recover, with the Raiders, Chargers and Commanders up next. But after watching this performance, I'm not sure Los Angeles should be looking at anyone as an easy win. They're too talented to write off after six games. They're also 2-4, and the preseason hype isn't going to help them climb out of that hole. Neither is another explanation from the NFL about a flag.

Trump said the Department of the Interior, led by Secretary Doug Burgum, is working with famed golf course architect Tom Fazio to overhaul East Potomac Golf Links, located along the Potomac River near the National Mall. "When completed, it will be open to the Public while, at the same time, designed to the Highest Level of Golf," Trump wrote on Truth Social. The president said the redesigned course would be capable of hosting events including the U.S. Open, PGA Championship, Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup. Trump said the United States Golf Association, PGA of America and PGA Tour have already been notified of the plans. FROM THE GILDED OVAL OFFICE TO A NEW MONUMENT: A LOOK AT TRUMP'S RENOVATION PROJECTS Trump, an avid golfer, vowed the project would create jobs and deliver an economic boost to Washington and the surrounding region. The existing course is expected to close Nov. 15, when restoration work on Fazio's design is slated to begin. Trump said the new course could open approximately 15 months later. Trump did not acknowledge the ongoing legal fight in his post, which included an artist's rendering of the proposed course redesign. Hours after Trump's announcement, U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes took judicial notice of the Truth Social post and ordered the government to clarify by 8 p.m. Sunday whether it still stood by its position in a court filing two days earlier that "there is no final agency action" and that, at most, Trump had given "preliminary thought" to rebuilding the course. Reyes also ordered two government attorneys who have appeared in the case to attend an evidentiary hearing in person Monday morning. TRUMP REVEALS ARC DE TRIOMPHE-STYLE MONUMENT FOR AMERICA’S 250TH ANNIVERSARY Trump, meanwhile, sharply criticized the condition of the existing course, calling it "old, broken, dilapidated" and pointing to what he described as dangerous and diseased trees and a deteriorating seawall. East Potomac Golf Links sits on federally owned land at East Potomac Park and has been part of Washington's public golf scene for more than a century. The redevelopment has also drawn scrutiny over tree removal at the site. Reyes recently temporarily halted additional tree cutting amid a legal challenge over work at the property. Trump said the overhaul would restore views of Washington while creating what he predicted would become "one of the Best and Most Spectacular Golf Courses anywhere in the World."

Hurts being placed on the IR means he has to miss a minimum of four games, but he is considering out "indefinitely" as the Eagles want to make sure his blood clot dissipates. In fact, Jay Glazer said on "FOX NFL Sunday" that the Eagles would only bring back their franchise quarterback if the clot "completely melted. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE "At first, the blood clot was superficial; it wasn’t moving around," Glazer said on the pregame show. He noted that was why Hurts played against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London this past week. "But once it changed and that blood clot started moving, you do not mess around with a moving blood clot. That could be a life-or-death situation. EAGLES' JALEN HURTS PLACED ON INJURED RESERVE AFTER SUPERFICIAL BLOOD CLOT FOUND IN HIS CALF AREA "The only way really for Jalen Hurts to come back — if he can come back this season — is that blood clot needs to be completely melted. They have to have several different scans to make sure it’s completely gone. Because if it’s not, and if it floats up to the wrong areas, it’d be very, very dangerous." David Chao, who served as the Los Angeles Chargers’ team doctor for 17 years while they were in San Diego, told OutKick recently the same thing regarding the movement of the blood clot. "Do they mean movement as in it's propagating and it's now a bigger superficial blood clot? Or is it movement meaning it's deeper and it's a deep vein clot?" Chao questioned. "If he has a deep vein clot, he's out for multiple weeks, at least." With Hurts on the IR, the Eagles had Tanner McKee, his backup, make his first start of the season against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The Eagles fell, 25-14, to their NFC foe with McKee throwing for 215 yards with a touchdown to DeVonta Smith. The Eagles will be without Hurts for at least next week’s "Monday Night Football" matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, "Sunday Night Football" against the Washington Commanders and a matchup with the New York Giants – all three NFC East divisional games.

This is unconstitutional and un-American, and Slotkin should face investigations by the Justice Department and the Senate Ethics Committee for her treacherous statements. Leftist lawfare began shortly after President Trump’s descent down the Trump Tower escalator that historic summer day in 2015. We went through years of Russia collusion charges, led by the witch hunt of special counsel Robert Mueller and his henchmen. Then, after an unsuccessful impeachment of Trump, leftists pursued him and his supporters after his departure from office in January 2021. Nonviolent Jan. 6 protesters spent years in a filthy D.C. jail. Other Trump supporters were debanked. The government viewed records of hundreds of thousands of Americans simply due to their support for Trump. The once and future president endured a raid at his Mar-a-Lago estate, followed by four indictments brought by prosecutors in New York, Atlanta, and the federal government. Special counsel Jack Smith, the leader of the federal witch hunt, brought indictments in D.C. and the Southern District of Florida. Trump also incurred a judgment of nearly half a billion dollars in another witch hunt brought by New York Attorney General Leticia James. An appellate court later threw out that absurd award of damages. SLOTKIN WANTS GOP PROSECUTIONS TO DETER YOUNG PEOPLE FROM TRUMP ADMINISTRATION JOBS Now, Slotkin wants to put the country through the same nightmare again if her deranged party assumes power. Thanks to excellent reporting by Michael Bicksel of the Chicago Thinker, we know about Slotkin’s plan that she revealed to University of Chicago students. Slotkin understands that presidential immunity insulates Trump from prosecution, so she wishes to pursue "signature cases" involving individuals whose actions on projects are "super egregious." Slotkin is referring to people in the Trump administration and their work to implement his agenda. "They have no immunity the way the president does," Slotkin said. One example of a Slotkin target is those who participated in the construction of the new ballroom that replaced the delapidated East Wing. Take a moment to grasp the horror of this. Slotkin wants people to be prosecuted and potentially jailed because she does not like that the White House will have a new ballroom that may not even be finished by the time he leaves the White House. Slotkin was just getting warmed up in revealing her deranged desires. She wants these prosecutions to chill conservative young people who have graduated school and who wish to work in the Trump administration. JUDGE ORDERS TRUMP TO HALT WHITE HOUSE BALLROOM CONSTRUCTION, ESCALATING LEGAL FEUD "Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don’t want," Slotkin stated, explaining what she wants young conservatives to think and fear. She left no doubt about her goal by adding, "I want that deterrence message sent. There is no place for prosecutions motivated by a desire to chill support for a candidate or politician. Slotkin’s example of a desired persecution—for the ballroom construction—illustrates how demented her view is. Constructing a ballroom is not a crime. A busybody sued to block it, but the Supreme Court put a stop to her ridiculous claim. Does Slotkin want the Supreme Court justices who ruled against the suit prosecuted, too? How about their young clerks who surely assisted with research on the case? Is that part of Slotkin’s "deterrence message" designed to discourage young conservatives from working for Supreme Court justices whom this disgrace of a senator considers to be enablers of the Trump agenda? PENNSYLVANIA SOCIALIST DEMOCRAT SAYS HE OPPOSES IMPRISONMENT EXCEPT FOR 'LAWLESS MAGA THUGS' The Senate Ethics Committee should open an investigation into Slotkin immediately. Her comments defile the Constitution and the Senate. Put every senator on the record as to whether they support Slotkin’s horrific goal. The Justice Department also should investigate Slotkin for conspiracy against rights (18 U.S.C. § 241) and violation of rights under color of law (18 U.S.C. § 242). Let’s find out if Slotkin has done more than fantasize to college students about prosecuting her political opponents and chilling others from entering politics if they happen to be of a different political persuasion than Slotkin. Her comments at a college campus do not enjoy protection under the Constitution’s Speech and Debate Clause any more than if Slotkin had made a threat of violence against Trump. That essential constitutional provision does not provide members of Congress with carte blanche to say whatever they wish whenever they wish. Indeed, in Hutchinson v. Proxmire (1979), the Supreme Court permitted a defamation suit to proceed against a senator over Speech and Debate Clause objections for allegedly defamatory comments that appeared in the senator’s newsletter. Slotkin is not the only lunatic leftist who has been spouting off about locking up political opponents. Last week, Democratic Socialist Angie Nixon, the Bernie Sanders-backed candidate for the U.S. Senate in Florida, refuted a charge by Sen. Ashley Moody, her Republican opponent, that Nixon wanted to abolish prisons. SHOCKING PERCENTAGE OF DEMOCRATS IDENTIFY AS 'DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS' ACCORDING TO NEW POLL: 'TOXIC POLICIES' "Why would I want to do that when I want her locked up and punished in jail for what she has done?" asked Nixon. CNN host Kasie Hunt was taken aback and asked Nixon to clarify if she really wanted Moody locked up. She got her answer. "You know, . . . yeah, basically, yes, because of what she did," Nixon replied. "Yes, I absolutely would want that to happen. Yes.I’ve been perfectly clear." BIDEN'S 'WEAPONIZED' MAR-A-LAGO RAID SLAMMED BY WHITE HOUSE AS DECLASSIFIED DOCS REVEAL FBI'S LEGAL DOUBTS The choice in two weeks is clear and stark. Leftists did not learn the lesson of their resounding defeat in 2024. They want to restart the lawfare engine the first chance they get. They are open about their terrifying, Republic-destroying goal. These sickening comments are not taken out of context; these people really want to imprison their political opponents. That conduct occurs in banana republics; it can never be allowed to become part of ours. "A republic, if you can keep it," Benjamin Franklin told an inquirer about the type of government the Framers had created at the Constitutional Convention. Leftists like Slotkin and Nixon want to destroy the Republic and turn it into a leftist utopia. Vote accordingly next month.

McCarthy led a rally. So, yes, coach John Harbaugh had just about had it with some of his guys, both early and late on Sunday. The Giants' coach benched Skattebo, even though he said he didn't. Skattebo got in the game but didn't carry the football, perhaps because he's fumbled four times and lost one this season. JOHN HARBAUGH REACTS TO CAM SKATTEBO'S SCARY BACKFLIP SLIP AHEAD OF GIANTS TRAINING CAMP NEXT WEEK Harbaugh also benched Winston in the fourth quarter after he'd thrown two interceptions and was mostly ineffective. And now we've got issues to sort out because the Giants may be looking at a new starting quarterback, while Skattebo has to work his way back into his coach's good graces by playing better. "How they play is kind of the main thing," Harbaugh said. What did Harbaugh get for his lineup changes? The Giants run game was 84 yards of forgettable New Jersey mileage. But the team got McCarthy to strongly state his case for being the starting quarterback going forward. So ... Welcome to Harbaugh's doghouse, Cam Skattebo. Welcome to a possible leading role in the shadow of Broadway, J.J. McCarthy. McCarthy played well in throwing for 243 yards in the final 11 minutes of the game and helping to erase a 34-10 deficit in a tough 34-27 loss. VIKINGS QUARTERBACK BATTLE MEETS EXPECTED END AS KYLER MURRAY BEATS OUT JJ MCCARTHY FOR STARTING JOB "I thought he came in there and did a heck of a job given the circumstances," Harbaugh said. And this is what Harbaugh didn't say: That Winston will remain the starter for the next game. "I can't answer that now," Harbaugh said. "Game just ended 10 minutes ago." The New York media pressed Harbaugh on the subject. And the coach pushed back. "Just like I said, I can't answer it now," he repeated. "It's not even up for discussion or conversation right now. We got to go back and go to work. I mean, I have no problem with Jameis whatsoever. I love the way he competes, love the way he fights. All those kind of things." You didn't hear it, either, did you? He didn't say Winston remains the starter. JAXSON DART KNEE INJURY EVALUATION CONTINUES WITH SERIOUS POSSIBILITY HE MAY MISS THE REMAINDER OF THE SEASON This is good news for McCarthy, who was traded to the Giants from the Vikings last month. "I'm not pleased when you lose," McCarthy said. "At the end of the day, no matter what happens, we try to get that 1-0 win each and every week, and I've got to look back at the tape and find ways to get better." The Giants have a lot of improving they need to do with their running game. And that definitely is a competition right now as four running backs – Najee Harris, Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary – vie for playing time and carries. "Nobody's really taken the bull by the horns," Harbaugh said of his running backs. "... So we put four guys [active] and see if we can get something going with the running game. That was the idea. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! "It wasn't by design for [Skattebo] to not carry the ball. When he was in there, we didn't call any runs." And this: "One of those guys needs to step up," Harbaugh said. "One of those guys needs to step up and be the back." The Giants need a running back to step up, which is something we may have seen Sunday from a new starting quarterback.

Dr. Loraine Conley emphasized using data to evaluate district decisions, saying the district should “strengthen our connection between data and decisions and results.” Candidates offered differing views on balancing digital instruction with traditional learning. Latrinda Williams called for maintaining a balance between screens and traditional materials. “I feel like we have to have that balance of having books as well as our text or paper, something in our hands, tangible versus technology,” she said. Student support also emerged as a priority. Incumbent Lisa Garcia stressed the importance of recognizing individual needs, saying, “Every child is unique. Every child is different, and we have to help identify those learning situations and those learning obstacles because every child does matter.” Candidates also addressed MUSD’s roughly 60% student capture rate, which measures the share of school-age children within district boundaries who attend its schools. Incumbents highlighted career and technical education, specialized programs and expanding school facilities as ways to attract and retain students. Nicolas Yendrzeski called for giving students a greater voice in district decisions. “The students have opinions too,” he said. “The students know how to solve problems because they’re the ones facing those problems.” Candidates also discussed civics education, fiscal responsibility and oversight of Empowerment Scholarship Account funding. Patti Coutre, who has served on the governing board for 14 years, emphasized her continued commitment to the district and its students. “I’m not running because I think the work is finished. I’m running because I think there’s still more to accomplish,” she said. Want to hear what the candidates had to say? Find the livestream on our Facebook page.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad551d475342cf4db922287 James McAvoy says he ‘nearly died’ after his lungs collapsed following botched biopsy te 2026-10-18T23:10:12.661Z James McAvoy says he ‘nearly died’ after his lungs collapsed following botched biopsy James McAvoy opened up about a life-threatening health scare that left him hospitalized for several weeks after what he described as a botched medical procedure. During a recent appearance on Dax Shepard's "Armchair Expert" podcast, the 47-year-old actor recalled how he pushed his body to its limits for his transformation into the Beast in 2019's "Glass" after first recovering from a serious infection and collapsed lungs. "I'd actually been in hospital and I had a lung puncture because… they saw a shadow in my lung, so they wanted to biopsy it to see if it was cancer, which it wasn't, which was great," McAvoy said. "But that was botched, and I nearly died," he continued. "I was at home two days later and my lungs just collapsed in bed one night, and I was on my own as well, so it was crazy." SHARON STONE CLAIMS EX-HUSBAND SIGNED HER UP FOR BRAIN SURGERY WITHOUT HER CONSENT AFTER STROKE The "X-Men: First Class" star said he spent two or three weeks in the hospital while doctors worked unsuccessfully to clear his lungs. "They tried everything to clean out," McAvoy recalled. "Nothing was working. So, they were like, 'We're going to need to cut you open big-style. Go in with like soapy, like dish soap basically, and just like clean you out, scoop it all out.'" McAvoy recalled that after his medical ordeal, he underwent an intense process for the next four or five months as he bulked up to reprise his role in "Glass." In the M. Night Shyamalan-directed movie, the actor portrayed Kevin Wendell Crumb, who suffers from severe dissociative identity disorder (DID) with 24 distinct personalities. MATT DAMON REFUSES TO PUT BODY IN 'DANGEROUS' SITUATIONS FOR HOLLYWOOD ROLES AFTER TURNING 50 McAvoy first played Wendell in 2016's "Split," which was the sequel to 2000's "Unbreakable." In "Split," Wendell's 24th personality "The Beast," who possesses superhuman strength, speed, durability and pain suppression, became the central threat after emerging toward the end of the film.  "Unlike ‘Split,’ I was the Beast, like most of the movie," McAvoy recalled. "So I was like, 'I'm really going to need to do the real thing. I'm going to need to go for it.'" 'THE ODYSSEY' STAR MATT DAMON REVEALS BRUTAL SIX-MONTH TRANSFORMATION BEHIND CHRISTOPHER NOLAN FILM "I remember saying to [Shyamalan] like, ‘You’re going to need to get me a trainer,'" he said. McAvoy explained that Shyamalan offered to hire a trainer from "the local gym," but he rejected that idea. 'SUITS' STAR RICK HOFFMAN REVEALS 'INTENSE' ROUTINE BEHIND DRAMATIC PHYSICAL TRANSFORMATION McAvoy said he had worked with trainers from local gyms before but needed someone who could transform his physique into that of a figure from Greek mythology. "The guy that worked with me was amazing," he added. "He didn't move in with me, but he was just with me a lot and kind of regulated what I ate and trained me just right." SYLVESTER STALLONE REVEALS SURPRISING HEALTH STRUGGLE BEHIND HIS FAMOUSLY RIPPED PHYSIQUE "For the first four weeks, he rehabilitated me. I could walk, but I couldn’t run, couldn’t cycle, couldn’t jog," McAvoy recalled. "So he did a lot of rehabilitation and, sort of, functional movement, and then put the pounds on me really fast." McAvoy recently claimed that he was bullied on the set of the hit HBO miniseries "Band of Brothers." 'BLIND SIDE' STAR QUINTON AARON SAYS HE 'SAW JESUS' WHILE IN A COMA AFTER NEAR-FATAL STROKE While recently appearing on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen," McAvoy was asked to rate his experience working on different projects, and when he was shown a picture of the show's cast, he recalled that one of his co-stars organized a group to mock him on set. "On my first day on set, there was a ton of actors," he began. "It was one of those scenes with everybody in it, and we’re all at a bar, and I had a scene. And all these guys were in it for nine months, 10 months, and they get one line in one episode, and one line 10 episodes later. They were all pissed. I come in for one episode, and I’ve got an arc and scenes. I’ve got tons of lines." SHARON STONE SAYS SHE 'NEARLY DIED' AFTER 'BASIC INSTINCT' OPENED THE DOOR TO HOLLYWOOD'S DARK SIDE When the photo, which featured many of his co-stars from the show, flashed on the screen, McAvoy confirmed that a specific actor was in the photo. GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE "So, one of the guys in that picture decided to bully me on my first day as a professional actor out of acting school," he said. "He got him and his buddies to just stand pointing at me and laugh at me for like three minutes." While he didn't name names, the photo featured Donnie Wahlberg, Kirk Acevedo, Scott Grimes, Neal McDonough, Adam James, Frank John Hughes, Philip Barantini and Ross McCall. McAvoy added that not everyone on set participated in the bullying, saying Dexter Fletcher and Robin Laing "took me aside, and they were like, ‘Come hang with us, man.'" LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

The show's storylines were based on interviews with real-life survivors of Easy Company, in addition to letters and journals of real soldiers. After his one episode on the show, McAvoy shot to stardom with roles in "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," "Wanted," "Atonement" and in the "X-Men" franchise. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad551d375342cf4db92227e CBS reporter deletes post calling out El-Sayed on 'spectacular self own' on Muslim Brotherhood question te 2026-10-18T23:10:11.630Z CBS reporter deletes post calling out El-Sayed on 'spectacular self own' on Muslim Brotherhood question CBS News correspondent Jan Crawford deleted an X post that appeared to attack Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed over his viral response to a question on the Muslim Brotherhood. During a town hall on Saturday, El-Sayed responded to a voter named Tommy who asked him whether he would disavow the Muslim Brotherhood after reports about El-Sayed's alleged family connections to the organization. "Sure," El-Sayed said. "Yeah, absolutely. But I want to ask the question that you're asking: Why are you asking the question?" TRUMP LINKS MICHIGAN SENATE CANDIDATE ABDUL EL-SAYED TO MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD: 'HE'S A CON MAN' This led to El-Sayed accusing Tommy of assuming that he held "dual loyalties" because of his Muslim background. "Why would you actually think that about me? Why would you actually think that? Why would you? Have you asked everybody in your life if they disavow them [the Muslim Brotherhood]? So why are you asking me?" El-Sayed said. El-Sayed later shared a clip of the interaction with his followers. "This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his," El-Sayed wrote. CBS CHIEF BARI WEISS' INVOLVEMENT IN VIRAL EL-SAYED REPORT SPARKS DEBATE AMONG CRITICS Crawford was initially critical of El-Sayed's response, suggesting that Tommy succeeded in "triggering" the candidate. "Tommy, thank you. I had to watch this twice to catch Dr. Abdul El-Sayed's nanosecond 'yeah absolutely' response. His subsequent uninterrupted three-minute diatribe proving your exact point is the kind of spectacular self own most ppl only dream about triggering. Congrats," Crawford wrote. By Sunday, however, Crawford deleted the post, adding in another post that it was a "violation" of her network's standards. "Earlier, I tweeted a video from an Abdul El-Sayed town hall. I deleted that tweet because it was a violation of CBS News standards. I apologize," Crawford wrote. CBS NEWS TAKES HEAT OVER REPORT ON DEM HOPEFUL ABDUL EL-SAYED'S NOW-DELETED 9/11 POSTS The initial post sparked backlash from pundits and analysts on the left, several of whom called for Crawford to be fired. "No Jan — you got caught red handed trying to help prop up a paid GOP operative who was there to spread false, racist lies about Abdul because he is Muslim. Shame on you," Democratic consultant Karen Finney replied to Crawford. "She SHOULD be fired, but it's CBS news, so she'll get promoted," progressive commentator and Democratic strategist Ketih Edwards wrote. "This woman endorsing a GOP operative’s smear campaign against @AbdulElSayed is apparently a ‘straight news’ CBS reporter. This is what David Ellison paid for. This is what Bari Weiss delivered," Zeteo CEO Mehdi Hasan posted. A CBS News spokesperson cited Crawford’s statement and declined to comment further. Curtis Houck, managing editor of media watchdog NewsBusters, told Fox News Digital that those calling for Crawford to be fired over the post "need to grow up." "The double standard is glaring. Reporters from CNN, MS NOW, The New York Times, and Washington Post tweet all kinds of incendiary hot takes on the daily, and none of the elitist media defenders bat an eye. But for someone at Bari Weiss's CBS News to call out the tone of a Democrat? It's unforgivable. Jan should be allowed to speak her mind and has earned it as one of the few actual journalists on the networks, in addition to a long career covering the Supreme Court, and earned the trust of the justices. Team Bari Weiss needs to tell these people calling for Jan's job to shove it," he continued. Fox News Digital reached out to El-Sayed's campaign for comment. For the past few weeks, El-Sayed has faced questions over allegations that his family had connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. In a previous statement to Fox News, his campaign called these allegations "racist and untrue." However, El-Sayed confirmed to Fox News senior correspondent Mike Tobin on Saturday that his sister-in-law, Mariam Jukaku, was involved in a federal terrorist watchlist lawsuit in 2016. "She did nothing wrong and was captured on that and then sued and got off," El-Sayed said. "You've got this system where folks are guilty until proven innocent because they've got different kinds of names, because of the infrastructure that people like Mike Rogers set up."

Grupe initially delivered on Sunday, capping the offense's opening drive with a successful 44-yard field goal. That momentum vanished seconds later on the ensuing kickoff. Grupe was the last line of defense as Arizona Cardinals returner Devin Duvernay broke through the coverage, and the 5-foot-7 kicker aggressively lowered his shoulder to force Duvernay out of bounds at the 47-yard line. The collision left Grupe on all fours, grimacing in pain. Trainers took Grupe to the blue medical tent before he retreated to the locker room with a knee injury designation. He was ruled doubtful to return. RAMS CUT KICKER HARRISON MEVIS AFTER BOTCHED FIELD GOAL ATTEMPT IN OVERTIME 'COST US THE GAME' The injury exit compounds a disastrous stretch for the Rams' special teams. Rams GM Les Snead was forced to sign Grupe just days earlier after Harrison Mevis pushed a 48-yard attempt wide in overtime against the Bills, which cost Los Angeles the game. Now, the Rams face another special teams headache. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Following Grupe's exit, punter Ethan Evans began taking reps into the practice net. He has zero NFL field goal attempts to his name. Without a backup kicker on the active roster, head coach Sean McVay must treat Evans as an emergency-only option and heavily alter his play-calling to feature aggressive fourth-down conversions. By Monday morning, the front office will likely be hunting for its third kicker in seven days.

After the 43-year-old rapper was dropped from Ed Sheeran's "Loop Tour" after he repeatedly called for a "Free Palestine" and performed his anti-Israel song "Hind’s Hall" last month, Macklemore announced that he would be launching his "Free Palestine" tour in retaliation. The tour includes three shows in Dublin on Oct. 26, in Paris on Oct. 29 and in London on Oct. 30, respectively. According to the tour's website, all proceeds will go to one of twelve organizations, including the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), whose leadership has come under fire for several controversial statements. 'SNL' HOST MICHAEL CHE MOCKS MACKLEMORE'S 'FREE PALESTINE TOUR' AFTER ED SHEERAN DROPS RAPPER The Jewish News Syndicate reported that the PYM's U.K. chapter has been accused of defending Hamas' actions during the terror attack three years ago that led to approximately 1,200 casualties and 251 civilians being taken hostage. The organization reportedly referred to these actions as "legitimate" and "effective." Just days after the original attack, a female speaker from the Palestinian Youth Movement was heard cheering the Hamas attacks and terrorists during a protest outside the Israeli consulate in New York. "Thank you…for raising your voices to celebrate the glorious victory of the resistance. And to honor our martyrs and [we're] marching to show those here in the heart of the empire that they will never defeat our struggle.

In a comment to Fox News Digital, the Jewish Leadership Council (JLC), a U.K.-based Jewish organization, called for better efforts to vet Macklemore's charitable organizations and protect Jewish citizens. "When the Palestinian Youth Movement praises young people joining armed factions and describes the 7 October massacre as a ‘prison break’, it risks legitimising violence against Jews. At a time of grave violence and threats against Jewish communities, Live Nation must show how it will protect Jewish audiences and staff from antisemitic incitement and harassment," the JLC said. LIBERAL LAWMAKERS, ACTIVISTS RALLY BEHIND MACKLEMORE AFTER SHEERAN TOUR REMOVAL OVER 'FREE PALESTINE' STANCE It continued, "PYM’s inclusion as a beneficiary of Macklemore’s concert raises serious questions about Live Nation’s vetting of the organisations it helps fund. We need a clear account of the checks undertaken, who will ultimately receive the proceeds and what safeguards will prevent the money being used to fund conduct that threatens the safety of Jews in this country." Fox News Digital reached out to Live Nation for comment but did not immediately receive a reply. The Israeli-American Council, which demanded Macklemore be removed from Sheeran's tour last month, said his recent actions "reinforce the concerns that led the IAC to launch its petition." "Our objection was never to his right to support Palestinians," the group said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "It was to the normalization of antisemitic rhetoric that disregards the suffering and humanity of Jews and Israelis." "Robert Kraft and his fellow stadium owners showed admirable moral leadership when they refused to give Macklemore a platform to voice his message of discrimination and antisemitism. Live Nation and the concert organizers must now publicly explain their vetting process and ensure that concert proceeds do not benefit organizations that justify violence against innocent civilians. Our message to them remains: ‘Your show, your stage, your responsibility,’" the statement continued. In addition to the tour, Macklemore announced on Instagram last month that he would be donating the $1 million he earned as part of Sheeran's tour to six organizations, including Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF), HEAL Palestine, Gaza Soup Kitchen, Medical Aid for Palestinians, UNRWA USA National Committee and American Near East Refugee Aid (ANERA). Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad543c175342cf4db922015 Hackers could already be inside American utilities, cyber experts warn of 'Trojan Horse' threat te 2026-10-18T22:10:09.417Z Hackers could already be inside American utilities, cyber experts warn of 'Trojan Horse' threat The cyberattack targeting French supermarket freezers and causing millions of dollars in losses last week should be an ominous warning to American businesses, cybersecurity experts told Fox News Digital. Unknown hackers took over the refrigeration in hundreds of supermarkets across France, raising temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit overnight, causing massive spoilage. It could happen here, and it isn't just grocery stores that need to be on guard, John Walsh, senior vice president at the Germany-based software company IGEL, told Fox News Digital. "Think about if we don't have water for seven days, or if they attack freezers and we don't have food," Walsh said. "That's a tough situation for people to live through, and it could create a lot of economic and social unrest. We're seeing that we're vulnerable and that attacks are taking systems down." At IGEL, Walsh works with governments and companies who build and deploy critical infrastructure — such as Siemens and Rockwell — to bolster their operational security. FRENCH SUPERMARKETS FACE MILLIONS IN LOSSES AFTER CYBERATTACK HITS REFRIGERATORS NATIONWIDE As was the case in France, where Danish commercial refrigeration system manufacturer Danfoss highlighted that many of its affected fridges were legacy systems that no longer receive updates, much of the U.S.’s critical infrastructure is also in need of retooling, Walsh said. "A primary obstacle in [operational technology] environments — whether in food manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, oil, or utilities — is that facilities operate assets that are 15 to 20 years old," Walsh said. "These systems are expensive, fragile, and essential to ongoing operations." FBI OVERHAULS TECH BACKBONE TO COUNTER AI THREATS FROM FOREIGN ADVERSARIES, REDUCE RESPONSE TIMES, PATEL SAYS Decision makers at the companies Walsh works with don’t want to go through the hassle of taking key systems offline in order to upgrade and secure them further, operating under a "if it's not broken, don't fix it" mindset," he said. But critical infrastructure, like almost every aspect of American society, is becoming increasingly integrated with technology and embedded into digital infrastructure, forcing cybersecurity firms to fundamentally shift strategies. BILL GATES SOUNDS ALARM ON AI-POWERED CYBERATTACKS, WARNS OF 'NEGATIVE SURPRISES' WITHIN A YEAR "One of the big things we have to consider is that we're moving from a thought process of security to resilience," Walsh said. As AI helps hackers become more sophisticated, it’s no longer wise to attempt to completely shut them out of key systems, Walsh said. System operators are better off assuming the hackers are already there. AN AI CYBERATTACK COULD TURN OFF AMERICA'S LIGHTS BEFORE WASHINGTON EVEN UNDERSTANDS WHY "Security is kind of like, 'I feel I can trust that things are okay.' Resilience is where you make the assumption the attacker is present—where, when the attacker is present, you control the blast radius," Walsh said. A so-called Trojan horse could already be inside America's electrical grid and other critical infrastructure, just waiting for the adversary to activate it, he said. "They've demonstrated taking it down, which to some degree is them practicing, honing their skills, and honing their methodologies against real targets while sending a message," Walsh said. IRANIAN HACKERS ATTACKED OUR WATER SYSTEMS. HERE ARE 5 THINGS OUR LEADERS NEED TO DO NOW Policy experts are grappling with how to make recommendations to lawmakers, given that so many things we depend on in our everyday lives are connected to the internet. "I am shocked that appliances have access to the internet," Amy Kremer, the chair of Humans First, told Fox News Digital. MAJOR US GROCERY CHAINS HIT BY CYBERSECURITY INCIDENT "I understand the convenience, but at the same time, you are going to have potential problems with it. That should be a concern to all Americans — not just appliances, but things like your Nest thermostat and other devices in your house that could be hacked into," she continued. "As we learn every single day, it's capable of more and more. It's great that we have technology — it's changed the world and made it a much smaller place where we interact and communicate with each other all the time. But with that also comes vulnerabilities," Kremer added. WATER CYBERATTACK HITS AT LEAST 7 STATES America’s critical infrastructure is indeed vulnerable to these types of threats, Walsh said, citing previous examples, including a 2026 coordinated cyberattack on Minnesota’s water systems. "Think about if you were to try to disrupt the U.S. economy or begin to do terrorism-type activities. What would you do? You'd go after water and wastewater. You'd go after the food supply. Exactly what occurred here, but at a larger scale," Walsh said. FIRST ON FOX: TEXAS BECOMES TESTING GROUND FOR NEW DEFENSE AGAINST ATTACKS ON AMERICA’S WATER SYSTEMS "We're definitely more vulnerable, they're definitely targeting us, and citizens, government, and the international community need to get governance in place to push industries to implement these protections," he said. Walsh also warned that this could be just the beginning, claiming a recent string of hacks could be indicative of hackers honing their skill sets as they prepare for bolder attacks. "I do think that what we're beginning to see is a pattern across the U.S., France, and the UK. We see the adversary—potentially a geopolitical adversary—basically practicing their art and demonstrating their art in different locations," he warned. Fox News Digital contacted Danfoss for further comment.

Wichita police announced Sunday that the 34-year-old woman was released pending toxicology results and a mechanical examination of her Chevrolet pickup. Authorities also identified those killed as Cole Adrian, 6, and Nicholas Schafer, 35, both of McPherson, Kansas. They were not related. Five children were among the 10 people injured when the truck drove from a parking space onto a field at Stryker Sports Complex at about 3:25 p.m. Saturday, police said. WE ARE LOOKING AT YOUTH SPORTS ALL WRONG AND THAT CAN LEAD TO INJURIES AND BURNOUT The woman, who was initially taken into custody, had two of her children inside the pickup. Another of her children was playing soccer on a different field at the complex. Her release followed interviews with more than 30 witnesses, including the children inside the truck, and consultation with the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office, according to police. SUPPORTERS OF ALABAMA SCHOOL BUS DRIVER CHARGED IN DEADLY ACCIDENT SAY SHE SUFFERED FROM 'MEDICAL CRISIS' Investigators have not determined what caused the deadly crash. Authorities have not confirmed whether it was intentional or whether a medical emergency, impairment or another factor was involved. The district attorney’s office told Fox News Digital that police are expected to make an initial case presentation to District Attorney Marc Bennett early this week. CAR PLOWS INTO PEDESTRIAN ZONE KILLING 2 AS POLICE DETAIN DRIVER AND INVESTIGATE MOTIVE "Following that initial case review, our office will share information as appropriate," the office said. The crash sent emergency crews racing to the sports complex in northeast Wichita, where bystanders had already stepped forward to help the injured. Adrian and Schafer died on the field despite lifesaving efforts. FLORIDA STUDENT KILLED IN ROLLOVER SCHOOL BUS CRASH Ten people were taken to Ascension Via Christi and Wesley Medical Center with injuries police described Sunday as noncritical. The injured children included a 5-year-old girl, a 5-year-old boy, two 8-year-old boys and a 9-year-old girl. The five injured adults ranged in age from 28 to 68. An additional woman, 61, was hospitalized for medical complications unrelated to traumatic injuries, bringing the total number transported to 11. Sporting Wichita Academy said the tragedy had shaken a soccer community built around families and teammates, thanking first responders, medical workers and bystanders who stepped in to help. "Soccer is more than a game. It is a community. It is families in the stands, teammates standing beside one another, and people who come together through a shared love of the game," the academy wrote on Facebook. "Today, that community is hurting, and we must lean on one another more than ever." As investigators search for answers, a restaurant is stepping in to help grieving families and those with loved ones in the hospital. Meddys pledged to donate 20% of all revenue from its Wichita and Salina locations from Oct. 18 through Oct. 24 to families affected by the tragedy. The business also offered free meals to the immediate families of those injured for as long as their loved ones remain hospitalized. "With so much to carry right now, figuring out your next meal should not have to be one more worry," Meddys wrote on Facebook. The restaurant partnered with local nonprofit Kingdom Athletics Mission to receive and distribute donations to the affected McPherson families after people outside the area asked how they could help. Meddys said the nonprofit would manage both GoFundMe donations and the business’ contributions. "Wichita is our home. These are our neighbors. In moments like this, we take care of one another," the business wrote. PANTHERS GREAT JONATHAN STEWART EXPLAINS WHY YOUTH SPORTS MATTER FAR BEYOND THE FIELD Wichita Police Chief Joe Sullivan also offered condolences to the families Sunday. "What should have been a day of children playing soccer and families spending time together ended in tragedy," he said. "We are also thinking about those who were injured, their loved ones and everyone who witnessed what happened. We know this tragedy has affected many people throughout our community, and we want those families to know they are not alone." The deadly crash also halted the Kansas State High School Activities Association’s inaugural girls flag football state championship, which was taking place on an adjacent field. The association suspended play and said games would not resume that weekend. At Saturday’s news conference, Wichita Police Capt. Aaron Moses said the driver had a valid license, no outstanding arrest warrants and was cooperating with investigators. Sullivan underscored the unanswered question confronting investigators. "We know what happened, but now we’re working very hard to find out why it happened," he said Saturday. Police are asking anyone with information about the crash to call investigators at 316-268-4407. Anonymous tips can be submitted through Crime Stoppers at 316-267-2111.

Father Patricio Alfredo Sánchez Molinari was standing at the altar of Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro Church in Guayaquil on Saturday when the large wooden crucifix behind him suddenly fell forward and struck him. Video of the service captures screams erupting inside the church as worshippers ran to his side and called for help. HISTORIC NYC CHURCH ENGULFED IN 5-ALARM BLAZE; 6 FIREFIGHTERS INJURED BATTLING STUBBORN FLAMES The Archdiocese of Guayaquil confirmed his death in a Facebook statement, identifying him as the parish priest of Perpetuo Socorro Church in its Central Vicariate. "Our dear Fr. Patricio Alfredo Sánchez Molinari … has departed to the Father’s House to enjoy His presence and His glory," the archdiocese wrote in Spanish. "Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen," the statement concluded in Latin. The tragedy unfolded just one day after the archdiocese congratulated Sánchez Molinari on the anniversary of his ordination, Ecuadorian news outlet Primicias reported. MASKED MAN CAUGHT ON CAMERA SMASHING VIRGIN MARY STATUE WITH A HAMMER OUTSIDE NYC CHURCH The Mass was being livestreamed on social media when the crucifix fell, recording both the fatal incident and the desperate response from those inside the church. "Father, Father … call an ambulance," a woman can be heard shouting in the video. Sánchez Molinari belonged to the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, commonly known as the Redemptorists. Before serving in Guayaquil, he spent several years as parish priest at San Lorenzo in Vinces, in Ecuador’s Los Ríos province, according to Primicias. His former parish mourned his death in a social media tribute, remembering the dedication and pastoral love he brought to its community, El Universo reported. What caused the crucifix to fall remained unclear Sunday. Church officials had not publicly provided an explanation for the collapse. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad535b275342cf4db921d91 French newspaper rips Macron after riots erupt across France: ‘Indelible stain’ te 2026-10-18T21:10:10.966Z French newspaper rips Macron after riots erupt across France: ‘Indelible stain’ A prominent French newspaper delivered a blistering critique of the country’s leadership after nationwide protests descended into riots, looting and arson. The article, written by Vincent Trémolet de Villers for the conservative newspaper Le Figaro and published Sunday afternoon local time, blamed years of political failures for contributing to the unrest and took particular aim at President Emmanuel Macron. It criticized what it described as a justice system that is "lenient toward criminals," accused far-left groups of carrying out violence with little consequence and took aim at France’s immigration and security policies. "A judiciary that is lenient toward criminals but unrelenting toward decent citizens. The incomprehensible privilege of these far-left militias, who destroy, set fires, and kill with impunity," the article stated, according to a translation. "An uncontrolled immigration, in which a portion of the immigrants rebels against the country that took them in." WHERE'S MACRON? FRENCH LEADER BLASTED FOR ATTENDING CONCERT AS RIOTS ESCALATED The article also took aim at Macron over his past calls for police to show greater empathy. "Emmanuel Macron’s reprimands toward a police force he deemed insufficiently 'empathetic' — directed at officers under attack by bolts, cobblestones, and mortar fireworks — will remain an indelible stain," it stated. The author argued that the unrest reflected deeper failures by France’s political establishment. "If the far-left, criminals, and looters can turn France upside down in a matter of hours, it is primarily because a technocratic monarchy — intoxicated by its own self-importance — has methodically dismantled all the moral, security, cultural, and economic safeguards that allow a society to remain standing." The scathing assessment followed a day of violence across France, where masked groups clashed with police, looted businesses, set fires and attacked public buildings, according to The Associated Press. Macron addressed the nation Sunday, condemning the violence and vowing that those responsible would be held accountable. PHOTOS SHOW AFTERMATH OF RIOTS AS MASKED GROUPS CLASH WITH POLICE ACROSS FRANCE "Nothing will excuse their actions. We all tonight feel angry. We feel shame as well," Macron said, according to a translation of his televised remarks. "There needs to be a response. Those people who looted need to pay for their crimes," he added. The French president also acknowledged concerns raised by the youth about their economic prospects and futures. "The youth of our nation are expressing great anguish and concern about the future, the conditions of where their careers will take them, what role they will be able to play in society," Macron said. "… I hear what they are saying, for the past ten years I've been fighting for them, so we need to pay heed to what they are saying." Macron said he ordered officials to increase security around public buildings and businesses, with protests potentially restricted in some areas. At least 2,400 people were arrested nationwide, including 855 in the Paris region, according to the AP. More than 500 police officers, gendarmes and firefighters were injured, the AP reported, citing Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez. LIMOGES TOWN HALL 'LARGELY LOST' AFTER FAR-LEFT RIOTERS SET HISTORIC BUILDING ON FIRE AMID FRENCH UNREST Authorities estimated roughly 550,000 people took part in Saturday's demonstrations, while organizers put turnout at 800,000, according to the AP.  Hundreds of businesses were looted nationwide, and unrest continued Sunday in Paris, where police used tear gas as tensions flared around Place de la République. The criticism also comes as Macron faces scrutiny over his decision to attend a Celine Dion concert with his wife, Brigitte, on Friday night, on the eve of the nationwide demonstrations. The protests, fueled in part by anger over rising living costs, school conditions and public services, erupted into violence Saturday. Macron's office and Le Figaro could not immediately be reached by Fox News Digital for comment. Fox News Digital's Bradford Betz and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Immediately after them, 7-year-old Violet Crawford filed in to have her turn reading to the therapy dogs.  “She hasn’t been a strong reader until this year; now she just feels more confident,” said her mother, Heidi Crawford. “She’s reading better after a couple of months.”       Crawford isn’t alone in thinking this. While research is still limited, a 2023 study published in the “European Journal of Special Needs Education” offered some encouraging evidence.   Struggling readers reading to dogs for 30 minutes twice a week showed greater gains in two standardized reading tests compared to those who participated in a similar reading program without dogs. Researchers also noted children spent more time on task and showed more positive emotions compared to children reading without dogs.   The benefits of programs like Tales & Tails may go beyond reading skills. For therapy dogs Honey and Hope, their job is less about teaching children to read and more about creating a calm, encouraging audience.   “The kids don’t judge and the dogs don’t judge the kids,” said Honey’s handler, Marykay Griffin, who lives in Maricopa Meadows. “And the dogs don’t care if they even read the words; they can make the story up as they go.”    Mother-daughter working duo  Griffin and her friend, Sheila Healy, have had their therapy dogs for about two years. They also happen to be a mother-daughter duo: Honey is 4 years old and is the mother of 2-year-old Hope.    Healey, a Homestead resident, thought Hope would be the perfect therapy dog due to her calm temperament and being a fast learner. She put her in training right away and Honey followed.     The mother-daughter duo has been working since February 2025.   “When they see each other, they’re all kisses, but then they buckle down and work,” Griffin added.   In addition to the reading sessions on Wednesday afternoons, the pair also work at Exceptional Community Hospital twice a week to greet patients, bring cheer and, once again, create a calm environment.  Research shows the calming effect has proven benefits. A 2019 clinical trial showed just 15 minutes of dog exposure was associated with “significantly lower anxiety” in emergency department patients compared to those who received usual care.   That’s something Dr. Brad Green, medical director of Exceptional Community Hospital, said he appreciates about Hope and Honey visiting the hospital.  “There’s sometimes long waits in the emergency room or when you’ve been admitted to the hospital for a couple of days,” he said. “Suddenly these two adorable dogs come in with their great owners, and it just perks the patients up.”      How to make a therapy dog   Both dogs had to go through rigorous therapy training before they were certified. They still undergo regular training to reinforce what they’ve learned.   That includes knowing commands like “sit,” “stay,” “paws up.” They are trained to wait at doors and stay in a sit position even when Griffin or Healy walk away until they hear the command “come.”   The dogs work with Chandler-based trainer Pam Beasley, who enforces positive training methods in public spaces by exposing them to a variety of scenarios, from different noises to being pet in different ways by different people.  “It emulates situations they would be in once they’re certified,” Beasley said.  The dogs were certified through the Alliance of Therapy Dogs following a three-day test where the dogs are expected to perform well in multiple public scenarios.   “There are great benefits. They help with healing, with suicide prevention, with depression.” Beasley said.  While Hope and Honey stick to the library and hospital, other therapy dogs are often paired with high stress agencies like police agencies, fire departments and morgues. Others work with senior and special needs communities.  “Everyone can benefit from therapy dogs,” Beasley said.   Griffin agreed.  “All we do is make people happy,” she said.   Good dogs, different jobs  Service dogs, therapy dogs, emotional support animals. Is there a difference? According to the American Kennel Club, yes.  Service dogs are individually trained to perform tasks directly related to an individual’s disability. They are the most extensively trained and have legally protected public access under the Americans with Disabilities Act.   Therapy dogs provide comfort in places such as medical facilities, libraries, schools and disaster scenes. Their handlers often volunteer and the dogs undergo training in behavior and obedience. Some programs require third-party certification. Emotional support animals provide emotional support, well-being or companionship. They are not considered service dogs under the ADA and don’t have the same public access rights. They generally can go wherever pets are allowed and have certain protections under the Fair Housing Act.     This story first appeared in the October issue of InMaricopa.

"So it was open 24 hours a day, six days a week, and it was very common back in the 1940s that a lot of places were closed on Sunday," Cathy told NBC's "Today" co-anchor Craig Melvin in an interview. "And so they wanted to do that. They wanted to have a chance to take a break … go to church, and for others just to take some rest." CHICK-FIL-A IS ONE OF AMERICA'S TOUGHEST FRANCHISES, AND THE STARTUP COST MAY SHOCK YOU He noted that employees seem to appreciate the policy, and they like knowing that they’re guaranteed one day off every week. Cathy, who has been Chick-fil-A’s CEO for the past five years, said he’s never considered how much revenue the chain might be missing out on by remaining closed on Sundays. "And that’s being truthfully honest with you, I never have because it’s never something that we’re entertaining. It’s just too important for us," he said. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER He noted that it’s a benefit of being a private, family-owned business that they can choose to continue implementing a policy that’s not maximizing sales. However, with an average annual sales volume of $9,161,239 in 2025, Chick-fil-A outperformed multiple major fast-food chains including Wendy’s and Burger King — despite being open six days a week. The company receives about 150,000 franchise applications each year, Cathy told "Today."  Chick-fil-A opened 179 franchises and company-operated outlets in 2025, according to QSR Magazine, reaching 2,863 locations total. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE NEWS The fast-food chain has been using the same recipe for its classic chicken sandwich since 1967, when it was created by founder S. Truett Cathy. The Cathy family’s Christian faith has long played a role in Chick-fil-A’s practices. "It’s our anchor in the sense of what our corporate purpose states, that we’re in business to glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that’s entrusted to us, and have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A," Cathy said. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ While certain aspects of the company are not open to change, some areas, such as the menu, are currently evolving. The chain recently announced the release of a new sauce, its first in ten years. Beginning Nov. 16, guests can order Spicy Chick-fil-A Sauce to enjoy with their meal — but still not on Sundays.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad529f675342cf4db921b90 Major League Baseball's best team can't stop pretending to be the underdogs heading into World Series te 2026-10-18T20:20:06.433Z Major League Baseball's best team can't stop pretending to be the underdogs heading into World Series The American League Championship Series is tied at two games apiece heading into Sunday evening's game five. After the Tampa Bay Rays offense scuffled against the Cleveland Guardians' pitching staff, they finally broke through in game four thanks to Yandy Diaz, Jonathan Aranda and Richie Palacios. Not exactly the most famous names in Major League Baseball, sure, but an example of the Rays' depth and ability to create tough matchups for opposing pitchers up and down the lineup. Game five will pair two of the top ten pitchers in baseball in 2026, by FanGraphs WAR, Drew Rasmussen and Parker Messick. Again, not the most well-known names, sure, but based on performance, those two pitchers outperformed highly paid, big-name starters like Zack Wheeler, Framber Valdez, Kevin Gausman or Max Fried. Given the inherent volatility and randomness of postseason baseball, trying to draw permanent or predictive conclusions from small sample size outcomes is ultimately pointless. But there is one clear pattern that's been obvious for years and become even more apparent in 2026: there are no underdogs in the playoffs. So why is the best team in baseball still acting like one? WANT TO KNOW HOW TO WIN IN OCTOBER? THE 2026 MILWAUKEE BREWERS ARE PROVIDING THE BLUEPRINT On the other side of the tournament bracket, the Milwaukee Brewers swept the very expensive Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS. The Brewers bullpen, behind Aaron Ashby, DL Hall, JoJo Romero, Abner Uribe and Trevor Megill, among others, was virtually unhittable. Well, not necessarily unhittable, but impossible to score runs against. Those pitchers allowed just two runs in 15.2 innings of relief in the NLCS, both from Uribe. In 13 innings from Ashby, Hall, Romero and Megill, not one runner who reached base scored. Not one. League-wide, the average left on base rate is roughly 75%. For Milwaukee's bullpen, outside one outing from Uribe, it was 100%. Offensively, it was more of the same. League average for batting average on balls put in play is around .300. Here's the Milwaukee BABIP from the LCS: BREWERS OFFICIALLY END DODGERS DYNASTY WITH RIDICULOUS 6-4 COMEBACK IN GAME FOUR TO COMPLETE NLCS SWEEP Hilariously, Garrett Mitchell had a .000 BABIP because his only two hits were series-changing home runs off left-handed starting pitchers, despite having just two homers off lefties in his entire career. Milwaukee's starting pitchers, too, allowed just three earned runs, despite woeful strikeout-walk percentages of 0%, 10% and 10.5%. Much of that comes down to, again, the randomness that's part of small sample sizes. Weird things happen in three or four games throughout the regular season all the time, without anyone noticing or caring. But with the spotlight on, outcomes become part of some mystical, usually made-up approach or perceived grittiness. The Brewers this postseason have been credited by baseball analysts for their supposed plan to put the ball in play. Make contact, see what happens, instead of just selling out for home runs and striking out instead. What actually happened? Milwaukee outhomered the Dodgers 7-1 and had the highest "three true outcomes," or strikeouts-walks-home runs, rate of any team in postseason history. Whatever the Brewers' plan actually was, the reality is that their approach was exactly the one that analysts, former players paid handsomely to give their "expert" opinions and fans claim doesn't work in October. Clearly, it works. Regardless, while the series might have had fluky components, between Milwaukee's fortunate luck on balls in play, runners in scoring position performance and pitching outcomes, the ultimate series result was anything but. The Brewers were once again the best team in baseball in 2026, just as they were in 2025. They had the best run differential in baseball, at +214. For reference, they were more than 170 runs better, over one run per game, better, than the very expensive San Diego Padres team they beat in the division series round. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE They've won more games than anyone in baseball since the start of the 2025 season. They were the best team in the league when it comes to outscoring their opponents over the course of the 2026 season. Before the NLCS, 13 of 15 ESPN writers picked the Brewers to beat the Dodgers. So why do they keep acting like nobody believes in them? In 2025, Brewers manager Pat Murphy played the underdog card before that year's NLCS, acting as though his opponent had not heard of the team they were facing. "I'm sure that most Dodger players can't name eight guys on our roster," Murphy told reporters. "No offense to them, they shouldn't have to know the names, but these are some guys that hopefully they know their names by the time it's over. You never know." THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! As insufferable and absurd as that was, Murphy continued in the middle of the 2026 season, acting like his team's biggest division rival had also not heard of his players who were currently in first place. "We know how these series go, you know, you erase it and just keep going," Murphy said about the Chicago Cubs. "It's not necessarily a game where they're ever going to be intimidated by guys, they don't even know most of our guys' names, so they're never going to be intimidated by us, but we're not looking for that." Yes, of course, nobody knows the players on the team in first place in the division. You'd think that after winning 103 games, performing as the consensus best team in baseball, and sweeping the NLCS, Murphy would drop his shtick, but he couldn't even wait a few minutes before trotting it out yet again in the game four postgame celebrations. "They got a bunch of hall of famers," Murphy said about the Dodgers. "We got a bunch of gamers. And the gamers won this week." Ah. Sure. Of course the Dodgers have an exceptional amount of talent, including Hall of Famers like Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts. The Brewers have an exceptional amount of talent too, and Murphy's routine of pretending like his team is a bunch of humble farmers who were playing stickball out back a few days ago is absurd and offensive. Though apparently diminishing his own roster is part of the team's motivational playbook. Jacob Misiorowski is 24-years-old, and a near-lock to win the NL Cy Young Award. He's so overwhelming that he was added to the 2025 NL All-Star team after just a handful of appearances in the big leagues. Obviously, Misiorowski is very early in his career, but who's to say he won't be a Hall of Famer later on? He's certainly on track after a year and a half. Misiorowski's salary is artificially limited by MLB's rules that punish young players, but were he available on the open market, he'd be making $50-60 million this season. Jackson Chourio is only 22 and just set the MLB record for most home runs in a postseason career before turning 23. If that's not the start of a potential Hall of Fame career, what is? Chourio signed an $82 million contract with Milwaukee already that would have been significantly higher were it not buying out years of cheap team control. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER Christian Yelich was the 2018 NL MVP, the same season Betts won his lone MVP award. He's a three-time Silver Slugger Award winner, three-time All-Star and two-time batting champion. If he doesn't make the Hall of Fame, he'll certainly come up just short. Brice Turang was a first round draft pick who won a Platinum Glove for his defense in 2024. Garrett Mitchell is another former first round pick out of UCLA. Total nobody. Logan Henderson was a top-100 prospect entering the season. Jake Bauers has been awful for most of his career, but graduated in 2018 as a top-50 prospect. William Contreras has been so good in his five years as a starter that he already ranks No. 96 in career WAR among all catchers in baseball history. Should he keep up this pace for 10 more seasons, he'd amass 60 career WAR, putting him eighth all time at his position, ahead of surefire Hall of Famers like Buster Posey and Yadier Molina. Milwaukee won the series not because they have "gamers," but because they have an immensely talented roster full of star-caliber players who are underpaid relative to their true value. That's not a criticism, it's a testament to their scouting, player development and front office. Like most playoff series, the only actual secret is having a pretty good team and hoping you get hot, and/or lucky, at the right time. That's what happened here. Pretending like they're hapless underdogs when, again, they are the best team in baseball, is ridiculous. Yes, the Dodgers have higher paid players. But money doesn't equal quality, particularly as players' age, which is what happens when organizations become reliant on free agents. Murphy was so proud of his rehearsed line that he repeated it once again in the clubhouse celebrations. But here's the question: with the AL sending Cleveland or Tampa to the World Series, who spend even less on players and have fewer recognizable big names, how can he keep up the act? Can the Brewers keep pretending to be underdogs against the Guardians' No. 30 ranked payroll? Or will they be forced to finally admit that they just have a good team? Seeing the social media reaction to Murphy's absurdist comments, the answer to that is, of course, no because underdog narratives, no matter how fake, are still immensely popular.

"Presley Walker Gerber. July 2, 1999—September 20, 2026," Crawford wrote on Instagram, alongside a photo of her son. "We are beyond heartbroken to lose our beloved son and brother. We feel so blessed to have had Presley in our lives for 27 years," she continued. "He is a sweet, beautiful soul who loved and is loved, now and forever." Crawford praised Presley for "how he showed up in the world, with kindness and vulnerability" and thanked the public for supporting the family since the devastating loss. GEORGE CLOONEY SAYS FAMILY IS STILL PROCESSING PRESLEY GERBER'S TRAGIC DEATH "We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support from so many who know and love our family and even strangers who feel our pain," the model wrote. "Til we meet again our sweet boy. We love you forever, Mom, Dad and Kaia." PRESLEY GERBER DEAD AT 27: WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT CINDY CRAWFORD, RANDE GERBER'S FAMILY Kaia, Presley’s younger sister, shared her own tribute on Instagram, describing her brother as her "ultimate teacher," "best buddy" and "great protector." CHAD LOWE’S DAUGHTER MABEL SHARES HEARTBREAKING TRIBUTE TO LATE SISTER FIONA, 13 "I don’t have the words," Kaia wrote. "And maybe the tiny mercy is that we didn’t need them all along. Words fail and words subtract and words summarize and words always lack truth." "You know how much i loved being your sister: it has always been, and will forever be, my favorite thing about myself. i came into this world with a white-knuckle grip around you. i had more love for you than i knew what to do with. and now that it has nowhere obvious to go, i’m certain it’s going to swallow me whole." "you believed — always believed — in people. you met cruelty not with anger, but with confusion. and curiosity. you believed people were inherently good because, presley, you are inherently good." Kaia recalled being scared to get her ears pierced when the two were younger. "i got scared before getting my ears pierced, so you went first. you always went first. but when i held the earring they took from your body, all i could think was: that belongs to you." "and i really f—ing wish you hadn’t gone first this time." In another passage, Kaia said she was still learning how to be Presley’s sister "in a world that I can’t reach for you in." "I don’t know how to do that yet," she wrote. She ended the tribute with a series of heartbreaking declarations. "My darling brother. I do adore you," Kaia wrote. "I love my brother. My brother is dead." "And this party sucks so bad without you, prez," she added. Gerber died Sept. 20 at age 27 while staying at a rehabilitation facility, according to records from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. PRESLEY GERBER’S FINAL HOURS AT REHAB IN FOCUS AMID CAUSE OF DEATH QUESTIONS The model's cause of death was "deferred," according to online records from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. The medical examiner told Fox News Digital that "the investigation is still ongoing and there is limited information available." PRESLEY GERBER’S DEATH SPARKS QUESTIONS ABOUT OVERDOSE, WITHDRAWAL AND REHAB SAFETY Santa Monica Police Department officials are investigating the death as "a suspected overdose," according to a release from the department. A representative for the family told Fox News Digital, "The family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time." GEORGE CLOONEY RUSHES TO RANDE GERBER AND CINDY CRAWFORD'S SIDE AFTER SON PRESLEY'S DEATH Months before his death, Presley Gerber shared a raw look at his battle with addiction and the treatment he hoped would help him find his way back to himself. In March, the model posted a video of himself preparing to undergo an "ibogaine flood dose," a psychedelic treatment, at a wellness clinic in Cancún, Mexico. According to Stanford Medicine, ibogaine is a naturally occurring psychedelic derived from the root bark of the Tabernanthe iboga shrub. It has "gained interest from the medical and scientific communities for its potential to treat opioid and cocaine addiction, and research has suggested that it increases signaling of several important molecules within the brain, some of which have been linked to drug addiction and depression." The treatment is legal in some countries, but not in the United States.  "Quiet moment before everything changed," Presley Gerber wrote in the Instagram caption. "I was absolutely terrified, and I knew I would be again if I ever had to face something like this." Gerber said letting go of control was difficult, but he trusted "there was something bigger than me guiding it." CARA DELEVINGNE ADMITS SHE USED PARTY DRUG GHB DAILY BEFORE TERRIFYING SEIZURES FORCED HER SOBER "I knew why I was there. I faced what I had been running from, and somewhere in all of it, I started finding my way back to myself," he wrote. He also said he was "praying it’s the last time" he would need to return for treatment. Presley Gerber’s post was one of several instances in which he publicly documented his recovery journey. In recent years, he had spoken candidly about depression, panic attacks, addiction and the challenges of seeking treatment. During a 2023 episode of the "Studio 22" podcast, Presley Gerber discussed his experiences with depression and other mental health challenges. "[Mental health] is an issue. It is such a big part of my life. It’s a 24/7 job, and there’s so much to it," he said. "That’s really what I want to do is help people, whether you’re depressed, you’re struggling with something that is having a negative effect on your body," he continued. "I mean it could be anything, and there’s no judgment." Gerber said he hoped his experiences could help other people avoid making similar mistakes. "I’ve seen a lot of stuff, and I’ve learned a lot of things," he said. "What I hope I can do is have made the mistakes for some other people, so they don’t have to make the same mistakes that I made." He also explained why he wanted to be open about his mental health journey. "Having struggled with mental health, depression and some other things that come along with that, I think that whether I help one person or a hundred people get out of that place that I was in at one point in my life, that’s all I need to do," Gerber said.

Kennedy during a Saturday "MS NOW Reports" interview with Ali Velshi, likening questions about his family's alleged Muslim Brotherhood ties to scrutiny Kennedy faced over his Catholic faith. El-Sayed invoked Kennedy's 1960 presidential campaign while arguing that questions about his family were intended to cast doubt on his allegiance to the United States. "I also know that I tread a long history of this: when John F. Kennedy ran for president, he was asked about whether or not his allegiance would be to the Constitution or to the pope and the Vatican…" he began. "The Constitution guarantees me the right as I choose to pray or any of us, to pray as we choose to pray or not to pray at all," he continued. "Nobody understands how important that document is like somebody who has their rights constantly threatened and so I will stand for that constitution. And it's a crazy thing to assume that somehow I'd have dual loyalties as somebody who's avidly running to protect the right to choose, who's running to protect LGBTQ rights, who's running to protect religious freedom…" EL-SAYED ASKED IF HE BELIEVES AMERICA IS 'READY FOR A MUSLIM PRESIDENT' AHEAD OF SENATE RACE Ted Goodman, communications director of the Michigan GOP, pushed back on El-Sayed's comparison in a statement to Fox News Digital, arguing that the allegations involving the Democrat's relatives were fundamentally different from the religious scrutiny Kennedy faced. "Abdul El-Sayed’s comparison of scrutiny over his Muslim Brotherhood ties to the questions JFK faced about the Vatican is a false equivalence," Goodman said. "The Catholic Church and the Muslim Brotherhood are not analogous." "The actual evidence against Abdul El-Sayed is not hearsay based on his faith, but actual facts as reported by numerous reputable news outlets," he continued. Velshi asked El-Sayed how he responded to questions involving the Muslim Brotherhood, terrorism and radical Islamism. El-Sayed suggested the scrutiny was designed to raise doubts about his loyalty. "Look, at the end of the day, the whole reason this question is being asked is to insinuate that somehow I have dual loyalties," he said. ABDUL EL-SAYED HITS BACK AT ISRAEL QUESTIONS, SUGGESTS HIS NAME AND FAITH ARE BEHIND PRESS SCRUTINY The controversy followed reporting on social media posts uncovered by the Washington Free Beacon in which El-Sayed's half-sister, Eman Abdelhadi, described her family's history with the Muslim Brotherhood. In one 2012 post, Abdelhadi described a conversation with her and El-Sayed's mother, Fatten Elkomy, about her involvement with the organization during college in Egypt. "Had an amazing talk with my mom about her activism in the Muslim Brotherhood during the early 70s while she was in college #respect." ABDUL EL-SAYED PROTESTED AGAINST 'EX-TERRORISTS' WHO CONVERTED TO CHRISTIANITY, UNEARTHED REPORT REVEALS In another post, Abdelhadi characterized her family's history with the organization. "My family has long been MB, but I've always felt that it has navigated the political sphere poorly/destructively." El-Sayed previously denied that he or his family had ties to the organization during an Oct. 11 appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press." Days later, he was pressed by NBC's Tom Llamas about his half-sister's statements and whether he had discussed the allegations with his mother. El-Sayed maintained that he had no personal connections to the group and disputed the significance of his sister's posts. "I have never had these conversations with my mother. I wasn’t raised by my mother..." he said. CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE Goodman cited El-Sayed's father-in-law, Tayeb Jukaku, whose involvement with the Islamic Society of North America and CAIR's Michigan chapter was documented by the Washington Free Beacon. The outlet also reported that Jukaku contributed $200,000 to a super PAC supporting El-Sayed. The organization was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism-financing case. The Treasury Department designated the Egyptian and Jordanian branches of the Muslim Brotherhood as Specially Designated Global Terrorists in January for providing material support to Hamas.  The allegations involving El-Sayed's relatives have not established that he personally belonged to the organization. El-Sayed's campaign previously rejected accusations involving his family in a statement to Fox News Digital, accusing Republican opponent Mike Rogers of using the controversy to attack his faith. "Independent fact-checkers have repeatedly debunked Mike’s lies, but their campaign continues to use bad faith attacks on Abdul's faith and family," the campaign said. Fox News Digital reached out to El-Sayed and Rogers for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.

The Steelers trailed the Bucs 13-3 at halftime with their offense obviously not scoring a touchdown and also converting only 1 of 6 third-down opportunities. So it was time for McCarthy to get his team in the halftime locker room and rethink the game plan. That makes sense because, you know, McCarthy needed to address whatever was not working, make adjustments, and maybe yell some motivating words. Except McCarthy never made it to the halftime locker room. While he was walking off the sideline and headed to an interview with a CBS sideline reporter, McCarthy apparently suffered some sort of leg injury. Multiple reports said McCarthy appeared to twist an ankle. The 62-year-old coach then had another Steelers' staffer help him off the field by serving as a bit of a human crutch.

There is no word who exactly made whatever adjustments on offense the Steelers might have wanted at halftime. McCarthy serves as both the team's head coach and offensive play-caller.

For the first time this season, not one team in the AP Poll remained in the same spot it found itself ranked the week prior. We've also got a fresh new Top 3 teams in the country, with Miami taking over the No. 1 spot, followed by BYU at No. 2 and Ohio State sitting in third. When it comes to the biggest jump in the poll, that would belong to the Florida Gators at No. 20 after moving up 12 spots from a week ago. Coincidentally, the team Florida beat, Texas, is the biggest faller in the latest poll, moving from No. 7 all the way back to No. 19 after suffering its second straight loss. COLLEGE FOOTBALL CHAOS: HISTORIC UPSETS, ARCH MANNING'S FIASCO, CLOCK CONTROVERSY AND CFP RAMIFICATIONS ARISE While it's a week of total reshuffling across the Top 25, the biggest debate revolves around which team actually deserves the No. 1 spot. The Hurricanes needed double overtime to beat Florida State at home, 43-35, and have not played a ranked team all season. BYU received 20 first-place votes compared to Miami's 40, after moving to 6-0 with its win over No. 2 Notre Dame, 28-24. BYU QB BEAR BACHMEIER SAYS NOTRE DAME 'DISRESPECTED' HIM AND HIS FAMILY FOLLOWING UPSET WIN OVER IRISH Looking at the nine SEC teams ranked in this week's poll, perhaps the biggest head-scratcher involves Kentucky. The Wildcats improved to 6-1 with a win at Oklahoma, which marks their third road win in the conference. Kentucky can't be too upset as the No. 12 team in the nation under first-year head coach Will Stein, but the Wildcats certainly have a case to be a Top 10 team.

When it comes to being sneaky, how about the Big 12 having not one, not two, not three, but four teams ranked inside the Top 15, with Houston at No. 14, Utah at No. 10, Texas Tech at No. 8, and BYU in the No. 2 spot.

That's partly due to the antics of one of the bull elk named Smash. He's been known to give chase after trucks and golf carts that get too close for comfort. If you hit a golf ball in his direction, like this woman unfortunately did, it's best to take whatever penalty may come and reach for another golf ball. She took a quick look down the fairway, lined up her shot, then hit the ball right in Smash's direction. She reached for a new tee and had another ball tossed her way.

Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., could be denaturalized and deported if investigators find that she committed immigration fraud, repeating his assertion that no one is above the law after her home was raided and cellphone seized. "Of course, if you lie during the naturalization process, there is a process to denaturalize somebody. We've done it before... And certainly, if the evidence points that way, that could happen," Homan told "The Big Weekend Show" on Saturday. Omar will "be held to the same standards you and I are held [to]. If she violated the law, then she'll be held accountable," he added, declining to discuss the specifics of the investigation into the congresswoman. "I said over a year ago, the allegations were made clear, and it would be investigated, and they are investigating it," he said. "I'm not going to get ahead of the bureau or HSI, but I've been told they have a strong case, and we'll let the evidence lead where it leads." Omar is under federal investigation over allegations that she or her father lied about her birth year on immigration paperwork to obtain her citizenship when her family fled Somalia in the late 1990s. DEMOCRATS' FURY OVER ILHAN OMAR RAID DRAWS STINGING GOP REMINDER ABOUT RAID FROM THE PAST: ‘SET THE PRECEDENT’ Her father became a U.S. citizen in 2000. Omar was believed to be 17 at the time, and, as a minor, automatically qualified for citizenship under U.S. law along with him. But, recently, it’s been alleged she was actually 18 and would have needed to go through the process herself at that point. Omar and other Democrats, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., have denounced the probe as political persecution of one of President Donald Trump's detractors weeks before a critical election. OBAMA BACKS ILHAN OMAR AMID PROBE, ACCUSES TRUMP ADMIN OF 'APPALLING' TARGETING IN LENGTHY STATEMENT Federal agents raided Omar's Washington, D.C., home earlier this week and took her cellphone and other possessions. Asked whether the federal government has reason to investigate any type of wrongdoing beyond immigration fraud, Homan said he wouldn't go there. "That's a question for the FBI. I know things, but that's the question for FBI," he said. Fox News Digital reached out to Omar's office for comment but did not immediately hear back.

Ross, who portrays the apostle Little James in the popular faith-based television series, announced his endorsement in a campaign video promoting "Faithful Texans for Talarico," an initiative intended to attract religious voters. "A lot of politicians like to talk about Christian values, but you don’t really see that reflected in their legislation or the way that they live, but you do see that in the way that James lives. He loves his neighbor; he takes care of the needy, the sick, the immigrant," Ross said. A spokesperson for Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton's campaign slammed Talarico's appeals to Christian voters in a statement to Fox News Digital, accusing the Democrat of using his religious beliefs to justify progressive positions on social issues. 'OFFICE' STAR SAYS JAMES TALARICO'S RELIGIOUS BELIEFS 'ACHINGLY CLOSE' TO JESUS CHRIST "Everything about James Talarico is fake," the spokesperson said. "He uses his beliefs to justify his most radical positions, all while calling himself ‘a Christian who hates Christianity.’ In Talarico’s twisted version of Christianity, a follower of Christ is required to bend the knee at thealtar of the radical trans agenda, disavow the oil and gas industry, support late-term abortion, and open the door to every criminal illegal immigrant seeking asylum. I’m still looking through the Bible to find those passages, but I wouldn’t call it Christian." Texas state Rep. Brian Harrison, R-Texas, also criticized the endorsement on X, accusing state lawmakers of subsidizing actors who support Democrats. "Your money is being used to help elect Democrats like James Talarico," he said. Harrison also took aim at Texas Senate Bill 22, which expanded Texas' film incentive program. Texas Film Commission records show that The Chosen Texas LLC received approximately $862,527 for its second season in 2022 and another $1.995 million for its fourth season in March 2025, totaling near $2.86 million. Both payments preceded the new legislation's September 2025 effective date. In a follow-up statement to Fox News Digital, Harrison slammed the film program as a "socialist scheme to give billions of tax dollars to rich, woke, Hollywood leftists." He argued that production offsets "directly or indirectly" subsidize actor salaries, pledging to introduce legislation next session to repeal the "indefensible" Hollywood subsidies. NETFLIX CHIEF ADMITS TRUMP IS HELPING SHOWBIZ INDUSTRY AS FEDERAL TAX CREDIT BILL AIMS TO FUEL HOLLYWOOD JOBS Ross defended the film incentives and rejected the suggestion that actors' political endorsements should affect production opportunities. "The growing film industry in TX creates thousands of jobs for Texans who fall on both sides of the aisle," Ross said, in a statement Sunday to Fox News Digital. "For Harrison to suggest that those opportunities should be taken away simply because some actors — like myself — endorse Democratic candidates is unconstitutional. One of the beautiful things about our country is the right to voice our opinions and I encourage my fellow actors/filmmakers (on the right AND left) to do the same." "I believe it’s time for a change and that James Talarico offers a clear vision for how to create those changes," he continued. COWBOYS LEGEND RANDY WHITE ENDORSES KEN PAXTON, WARNS JAMES TALARICO ‘CAN’T BE TRUSTED’ Brittany Hughes, a video host at the Media Research Center, criticized Ross' endorsement in a statement to Fox News Digital, arguing that his role as an apostle on "The Chosen" did not make him an authority on Christian teachings. "As is any American, Ross is free to vote for whatever candidate he chooses," she said. "But American voters aren’t obligated to take a theological lesson from an actor simply because he plays an apostle on TV." "It’s a simple fact that many of Talarico’s public positions are in total opposition to basic Christian principles — his support for so-called gender transitioning, for example, which is completely at odds with the biblical description of God having created us male and female separately and for separate purposes," she added. TALARICO DISMISSES PAST COMMENTS ABOUT GOD AND GENDER AS 'PROVOCATIVE' WHILE INVOKING CHARLIE KIRK Lisa Cusack, president of the Don't L.A. My Burbank PAC, criticized the endorsement in a statement to Fox News Digital, questioning whether Hollywood actors could influence Texas voters. "I highly doubt this will help Talarico with voters, but Ross’ outspoken progressive politics could alienate Christian audiences from The Chosen. Christians and Texas voters can see through this kind of set piece Christianity," she said. "Theater kids generally make terrible political pundits." CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE Ross rejected the idea that political differences necessarily alienate fans, saying he welcomes conversations with viewers who disagree with him. "As a progressive actor on a TV show with a largely conservative audience, I’ve had so many wonderful opportunities to engage in challenging conversations with my fans and I also do so from a place of compassion and curiosity. When we do that, we can learn so much from one another." Talarico, a Presbyterian seminarian, faces Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who announced his own "Pastors for Paxton" coalition with 27 faith leaders the same week. Fox News Digital reached out to Talarico and the Texas Film Commission for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.

Bachmeier did not go into detail about what exactly it was that the Fighting Irish allegedly did to disrespect him during his high school playing days, but it almost certainly has to be tied to his recruitment process. Notre Dame was one of over a dozen big-time programs that offered Bachmeier when he was at Murrieta Valley, and according to Adam Gorney of Rivals, he was nearing making his commitment to the Irish, but the program had Deuce Knight above him on its prospect list. Knight committed to Notre Dame in September 2023, effectively taking Bachmeier's spot, but ultimately decommitted before taking his talents to Auburn. Meanwhile, Bachmeier enrolled at Stanford, but did not stay with the Cardinal long and put his name in the transfer portal during spring practices. Bachmeier opted to transfer to BYU, along with his brother, Tiger, a wide receiver for the Cougs. He was thrust into the QB1 role during the 2025 season after starting quarterback Jake Retzlaff transferred to Tulane after admitting to having premarital sex, a violation of BYU's honor code. Bachmeier, a true sophomore, has thrown for nearly 1,300 yards and rushed for 284 yards in six games for the Cougars this season.

Police reported 1,800 arrests nationwide, including 855 in the Paris region. VIOLENCE ERUPTS AT FRANCE PROTESTS AS MACRON WARNS UNREST IS BEING EXPLOITED The destruction was not limited to Paris. In Limoges, about three hours south of the capital, fire tore through the city’s historic town hall, built in 1883 and designated a historic landmark in 1975. The local prefect, Maurice Barate, told AFP that the roof had collapsed onto the lower floors and about two-thirds of the building’s exterior had disappeared. He called it "a catastrophe for heritage."

The deadly fire erupted Saturday at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright, where fierce winds fueled flames that spread beyond the installation and into surrounding rural areas. Canadian military officials said there were no indications of terrorism, though the cause remained under investigation. Carney said in a televised address that the families of the four service members killed had been notified and that the situation was still evolving. AT LEAST 1 KILLED, 34 FIREFIGHTERS AND EMS WORKERS INJURED IN 'MAJOR' STATEN ISLAND SHIPYARD EXPLOSION: FDNY The prime minister said those affected included reservists and soldiers from Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, one of Canada's oldest military regiments. Personnel had traveled from bases across the country to participate in training exercises at Wainwright. Canadian Defense Minister David McGuinty initially confirmed fatalities and injuries but did not provide a casualty count, Fox News Digital previously reported. "I cannot recall such an incident in my short time for sure as a minister, but I cannot recall an incident like this in recent memory," McGuinty told reporters. The exact number of injured service members remained unclear Sunday, with victims receiving treatment at hospitals in Wainwright, Edmonton, Red Deer and Calgary. Several hospitals across Alberta activated a "Code Orange," an emergency designation for mass-casualty incidents, as medical personnel scrambled to treat the wounded. "This number of patients would overwhelm the city of Edmonton," Dr. Warren Thirsk, an emergency department physician at Royal Alexandra Hospital, told CBC News. "It is more patients than any of us want to count right now. It's a disaster." MARINE CORPS OSPREY CATCHES FIRE DURING EXERCISE IN NORTH CAROLINA; 4 INJURED The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said officers responded to reports of a fire in a training area at the base shortly after 4 p.m. Saturday. Firefighters battled intense winds, with gusts reaching up to 62 mph, as flames spread beyond the installation. By late Saturday, local officials said the fire was being held and that property and critical infrastructure were protected. No evacuation order had been issued for nearby residents. McGuinty said the RCMP was involved in investigating the incident, describing the situation as "very, very active and delicate." Carney announced that flags would fly at half-staff on federal buildings nationwide in honor of those killed and injured. He also praised emergency crews who battled the flames through the night.

During a recent trip to Hawaii to celebrate her friend, Jennifer Meyer's wedding, the 62-year-old actress was spotted enjoying a day at the beach. The "Cougar Town" star was photographed smiling in a black bikini while standing on the beach. She paired the bikini with layered gold necklaces and earrings, and wore her hair in a ponytail to take a dip in the ocean. In the photos, she is seen standing knee-deep in the water before wrapping a towel over her body to dry off. PAULINA PORIZKOVA, HALLE BERRY AND ELIZABETH HURLEY PROVE AGE IS JUST A NUMBER IN BIKINI PHOTOS Cox has shared how she manages to stay fit as she gets older, telling Marie Claire in September 2022 that she takes vitamins in the mornings, in addition to drinking "the cucumber, pineapple, ginger, and lemon thing." "I play tennis twice a week. I used to box twice a week, but my left knee is hurt," she said about her fitness routine. "I also do pilates once a week. As I get older, I realize it's more important for me to do weights. It’s amazing how I used to be really muscley but not so much anymore." She later gave fans a glimpse of her workout routine in an Instagram video in July 2024, which showed her running on a treadmill, pull-ups, squats and crunches. The "Friends" star was also seen enjoying her summer while on a luxury yacht off the Spanish island of Mallorca with her longtime friend, Jennifer Aniston, and other actors, including Judd Apatow, Leslie Mann and Pedro Pascal.

Cox rose to stardom as one of the stars of the hit sitcom "Friends," which she starred in for 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004, alongside Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry. Following Perry's death in October 2023, Cox shared on "CBS Sunday Morning," that Perry was "probably one of the funniest human beings in the world." "I’m so thankful I got to work so closely with him for so many years," she said. "He visits me a lot, if we believe in that." LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad50b8075342cf4db92144a Tim Walz says he takes responsibility for Minnesota fraud by not running for re-election te 2026-10-18T18:10:08.916Z Tim Walz says he takes responsibility for Minnesota fraud by not running for re-election Gov. Tim Walz took responsibility for mishandling fraud in Minnesota even as he took multiple parting shots at the Trump administration. During Friday’s episode of "The Lever" podcast, Walz said that he lacked the authority to independently stop payments to suspected fraudsters and needed legislative action to obtain that authority, but nonetheless acknowledged that his administration should have acted sooner. "The amount of fraud, like I said, $1 is too much, but the amount that has been prosecuted, and people put in jail, is less than what [President Donald Trump] is asking for his ballroom," Walz said.  When pressed further by the host about whether he was worried that the fraud allegations would continue to be damaging, Walz replied, "Yes. They undermine faith in government." He added, "It's one of the reasons I accept responsibility for that. I think, you know, I had decided, probably after the murder of Melissa Hortman, certainly before Christmas, that we weren't going to run again because I said, ‘They're going to use this to attack others and to attack the system.’" GOP ACCUSES WALZ ALLIES OF BURYING $52M MEDICAID FRAUD REPORT BEFORE ELECTION "Every state has this. Most states have far more than this," he added. "The Trump administration decided to focus on the perfect storm for them," Walz said. "‘Blame Somalis.’ ‘Blame the guy who ran against me.’ ‘Blame this prosperous state that pays more money in than not and let's punish them.’ But that doesn't excuse that. Should we do more? Yes. Were there things that we should have closed back doors sooner? Yes. I mean, it happened. Now we know other states are learning from us." He later said, "The problem with fraud and corruption, both of them undermine faith in government, and that plays right into Republicans' hands. Do they like fraud? I would argue they do because it undermines federal. It makes a reason to cut these programs. They hate these programs that feed children. They hate these programs that, you know, work with autistic children. So, man, what a gift to them. ‘See, they don't work. It's tax dollars. Let's close them down.’" TRUMP IS FIGHTING OBAMACARE FRAUD. DEMOCRATS ARE DEFENDING THE NUMBERS Former chief counsel for House Judiciary Democrats Julian Epstein spoke with Fox News Digital about the interview. "These excuses insult our intelligence," he said of Walz's statements.  "The governor has ample authority to stop payments when there's evidence of fraud. The governor can also refer the evidence to state and federal prosecutors for immediate action. The reality here is that this systemic fraud seemed to be going on for over a decade with officials like Tim Walz and Peggy Flanagan doing almost nothing about it. And there are serious questions as to whether they turned a blind eye because the beneficiaries of the fraud were voting for them, contributing to their campaigns, we're helping them politically in some way. The real question is whether these senior officials were somehow benefiting directly or indirectly."

"They were in charge while foreigners and criminals pilfered billions in public funds, and Democrats let it all happen. Now they deflect and blame Republicans.

American and even Israeli leaders are failing to show strength against hate as anti-Zionist voices gain power, Klein told Fox News Digital in a Monday interview. "Ilhan Omar is one of the most vicious Jew haters in America," Klein said, speaking on behalf of himself and not as the leader of the ZOA. "And it is very painful to me that the leaders of the Democratic Party have not continuously and vigorously condemned her" and other antisemitic political leaders, including Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., El-Sayed and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. They are not merely "pro-Palestinian" voices, Klein says: "They're anti-Israel voices. They don't really give a damn about the Palestinians either. They just hate Jews in the Jewish state. That's my opinion." RESCUE EXPERT WARNS FLYDUBAI HIJACKING ATTEMPT SHOWS US, ALLIES ARE ‘PLAYING CHECKERS’ AGAINST TERROR THREAT The ZOA is a 501(c)(3) that is unpermitted by law to talk candidacies as opposed to their positions, Klein stressed, before unloading on the voices that take aim at Israel and ostensibly handing political power to the antisemites and terrorists – which even includes Israeli elections just two weeks from now. "Viciously antisemitic members of Congress have not been condemned in any significant way by the Democratic Party," he continued. "So it's disappointing to me as an American that we don't condemn people who are filled with hate and not filled with what's best for America." Anti-Israel rhetoric has moved from the political fringe into elected office, he said, warning that Democrats have not forcefully condemned members of their own party who he says traffic in antisemitism. TERROR CELLS INSIDE FOREIGN AIRLINES 'CERTAINLY A POSSIBILITY,' RETIRED PILOT WARNS It has even forced Israeli leaders to move toward a dangerous level of "appeasement," according to Klein. "I blame the Jewish leaders and the Israeli leaders themselves: You might find that surprising," he said. "The Israeli government over the years has not made it clear that the Hamas Charter has two clauses that say, murder every Jew on earth, destroy Israel. And, most recently, El-Sayed not only refused to clearly name Iran, the world's leading state sponsor of terror, as a greater threat than Israel during a Michigan Senate debate, "he said worse," Klein lamented. "He said both of them are dangerous to America, and he said Israel is as evil as Hamas," he continued. "The Democratic Party has not condemned him. Worse, [Senate Minority Leader] Chuck Schumer endorsed him, has given him tens of millions of dollars to run," Klein said. "Elissa Slotkin, the senator from Michigan, Jewish senator, has endorsed him. And [Dana] Nessel, the attorney general, Jewish attorney general has endorsed them. This is disgraceful." ILHAN OMAR ON TRACK FOR FIFTH TERM AS MINNESOTA VOTERS MAINTAIN FAR-LEFT STREAK "If this guy was unequivocally anti-Black, they would have all condemned him. Why don't they condemn people who hate Jews for no reason whatsoever? It's very, very frightening," he said. During his push to hold the Michigan Senate seat for Democrats, Abdul El-Sayed described Judaism as "a light unto the world," expressing deep gratitude for the Jewish community's contributions. "My commitment to Jewish safety is equivalent to the commitment to the safety of my own daughters," he said. Klein also weighed in on Mamdani for declining to condemn the phrase "globalize the intifada," a call to violence against Jews around the world, he warned. "Mamdani was asked to condemn the phrase, globalize the intifada … he refused to condemn this phrase," Klein said. "This guy is a monster. He is a jihadist Jew-hater supporter of terrorism." Despite the criticism, Mamdani has pledged to "protect our Jewish neighbors" and stated his commitment to "mourning with them, and committing to fight against evil and antisemitism." As Mamdani has done explicitly, Israel is often portrayed as the aggressor and perpetrator of a so-called "genocide" in Gaza, Klein observed, stating that the reality is those atrocities were committed by Hamas terrorists Oct. 7, when terrorists invaded Israel specifically to kill "Jews," not merely "people," Klein said. MICHIGAN STUDENT CONFRONTS EL-SAYED OVER IRAN STANCE IN TENSE EXCHANGE: ‘DO YOU STAND WITH US?’ "They went in house to house, door to door, murdering every single family," Klein said. "Can you imagine? They go in and there's a mother and a father and children sitting, they're scared out of their minds, and they shoot them to death. And oftentimes they raped the mother first and then they murdered them. Then they put babies into ovens and killed them that way. It's just a nightmare what they did." "Yes, their goal is to murder every single Jew. In fact, the leaders of Hamas have said repeatedly: 'We will have many, many more Oct. 7s; you wait, many, more Oct. 7s," he added. Klein said any future Israeli government after the Oct. 27 elections must be "as tough as nails, responding with overwhelming force for any terrorism," and do as the "the people demanded: destroy Hamas." Klein warned, however, that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could be weakened politically if he is forced to form an alliance with left-of-center parties after Israel’s elections. "The polls show that it’s likely that Netanyahu will win again, but he may have to have a broader coalition to bring in people from the left of center," Klein warned. "I think the odds are high Bibi will continue to be the prime minister. But his hands will be somewhat tied if he’s forced, and I think he will be forced, to bring people from left of the center to have coalition." JEWISH DEMOCRATS ABANDON EL-SAYED FOR GOP RIVAL IN ALL-IMPORTANT BATTLEGROUND STATE Asked whether the process of forming a coalition could weaken Israel’s response, Klein answered, "Yes." "Yes, because some of the left-of-center people are appeasement-oriented," Klein said. "They still believe just give the Arabs more, it’ll be all right." "And people have to understand, and these people don't quite understand, this is not a war about land or about a Palestinian state. This is a war about destroying Israel and killing Jews." He argued that Israel should reject further concessions and project strength until its enemies accept that the Jewish state cannot be destroyed and the decades of calls for a Palestinian state are a proven failure. "They had it; they controlled it," Klein said. "They could have just said a new country of Palestine has now emerged. No, because the goal is not that. The goal is Israel's destruction." "Only when they understand that, that it's hopeless for them to destroy the Jewish state of Israel, only then might they finally lay down their arms and say, we give up."

Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to examine the brains of about 9,000 participants, the researchers discovered small areas of brain damage more commonly in people who ate large amounts of ultra-processed foods, such as soft drinks, packaged snacks and sugary breakfast cereals. Those with the highest intake of ultra-processed foods were 40% more likely to show these changes in the brain, which can go undetected because they don’t produce obvious symptoms, Medical Xpress reported. HIGH SALT INTAKE LINKED TO FASTER MEMORY DECLINE IN ONE GROUP, STUDY FINDS These brain changes can, however, be early warning signs in the years before the onset of a stroke or memory problems. These findings were unexpected, according to Russel J. de Souza, first author of the study and an associate scientist at the Population Health Research Institute (PHRI) of McMaster University and Hamilton Health Sciences. "Usually, this kind of damage is associated with conditions we hear about and treat at a much older age," de Souza told Medical Xpress. He noted that the study focused on "middle-aged Canadians who had no heart problems and reported no other health concerns." GEN Z EATS NEARLY TWICE AS MANY SNACKS AS BOOMERS, WITH EXPERTS WARNING THEY'RE REPLACING REAL MEALS The study, which was published in JAMA Network Open, included participants between the ages of 35 and 69. Participants who ate the most ultra-processed foods held more body fat and visceral fat, which is linked to various health concerns including heart disease. The study found an overall stronger connection between the consumption of ultra-processed foods and brain damage among female participants. Women in the highest consumption group had nearly twice the likelihood of exhibiting signs of brain damage as opposed to those in the lowest consumption group. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER "Our findings suggest that the link between diet and brain health may be detectable before people experience noticeable problems with memory or thinking," said Sonia Anand, senior author of the study and senior scientist at PHRI. Ultra-processed foods are usually tasty, but they frequently lack important nutrients such as fiber, vitamins and minerals, while containing high amounts of sodium, saturated fats and added sugars, according to the CDC. The average percentage of total daily calories consumed from ultra-processed foods was 55% among Americans ages one year and older between August 2021 and August 2023, according to data published by the CDC in August 2025. Ultra-processed foods are convenient and widely available, which could contribute to high consumption, Anand said. However, she noted that "diets high in these foods may be linked to brain changes that may lead to memory loss and stroke" in the future. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE NEWS For participants in this study, ultra-processed foods accounted for an average of about 25% of their daily food intake. The researchers noticed that, as consumption of ultra-processed food increased, consumption of nutrient-dense foods decreased. Whole foods like fruits, vegetables and grains made up 41% of the daily food intake for participants who ate the most ultra-processed food and 68% for those who ate the least. The study’s findings suggest a connection between consumption of ultra-processed foods and indicators of changes in the brain. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ Despite this, because participants were only evaluated once and not followed up with in the future, the researchers could not determine that the direct cause of the changes in the brain was consumption of ultra-processed foods. "We need longer-term studies that track people over time with repeated MRI scans to find out whether reducing ultra-processed food intake can slow or prevent these brain changes," de Souza said, adding that follow-up research is in the works.

With the upcoming labor agreement negotiations, it is almost certain that players will use these two teams to say there is no need for a salary cap because the Rays or Guardians and Brewers made it to the World Series.  Before we get to that point, though, one of these teams has to break through. In Game 1, the Guardians were the aggressor, coming back in the second half of the game and scoring all of their runs. In Game 2, Freddy Peralta looked great for the Rays and knotted up the series before it headed to Cleveland. Once it got to Cleveland, Game 3 went to the Guardians. The Rays took a lead around the middle of the game, but coughed it back up. In Game 4, we saw the Guardians jump out to an early lead, but the Rays got it back in the third inning. They then added a run in the top of the 6th inning to take the lead. A big hit and crucial error helped get Tampa three in the top of the seventh. They added two insurance runs in the ninth, and the series is now tied coming into today’s Game 5.  New users can use promo code FOXNEWS350 to bet on tonight’s game and earn $350 in FanCash.

Offense was again hard to come by in Game 3, but a key home run gave the Guardians a 2-1 series lead. The Rays then capitalized on another big hit and a Guardians error last night to even the series.

The professional dancer, 40, will miss Tuesday’s "Dedication Night" episode, marking the first known suspension of a professional dancer in the show’s history, according to ABC.

"The well-being of everyone who works on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ is non-negotiable," the company said in a statement.

Val, who is married to Johnson, appeared to defend her in a TikTok post that read, "You almost saw the Fresh Prince enter the ballroom last night."

Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., is facing online backlash after saying she wants the threat of prosecution to make young people think twice before taking jobs in the Trump administration. During an Oct. 13 University of Chicago event focused on her political path and the future of the Democratic Party, Slotkin said she wants to pursue "signature cases" against people who "enabled" President Donald Trump. "I want to look at these signature cases and not just focus on the president, but on the people who enabled him," the Michigan Democrat said. Slotkin went on to describe how she wants prospective administration employees to weigh the risks. "I want young people coming out of school to say, should I go work for the Trump administration? Like, that sounds fun, I might get an opportunity. I want them to be like, Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don’t want, and so let me avoid participating in that," she said. "I want that deterrence message." MEET THE VOTERS WHO COULD BREAK THE GOP’S DECADESLONG GRIP ON A REPUBLICAN STRONGHOLD Law professor Jonathan Turley criticized the remarks on X, writing that Slotkin had "said the quiet part out loud." He argued that she wants to deter young people from supporting the administration. The remarks were made during a University of Chicago event focused on Slotkin’s political path and the future of the Democratic Party. A clip of the exchange circulated online, prompting critics to accuse her of trying to scare potential administration employees away from public service. Scott Kupor, director of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, which manages the federal government’s civilian workforce, called Slotkin’s comments "disappointing and unprofessional." "This is incredibly disappointing and unprofessional coming from a U.S. senator — endorsing political prosecutions to dissuade patriotic Americans from serving their country," Kupor wrote on X. "In contrast, we at OPM believe in recruiting the best and brightest early-career prospects." Michael Bicksel, a University of Chicago student, said Slotkin’s remarks made him and other conservative students feel they could face political persecution for serving in the Trump administration. REPUBLICANS JUST GOT A POWERFUL NEW PLAYBOOK FOR THE BATTLE FOR CONGRESS. HERE'S WHAT'S INSIDE "Sen. Slotkin, a self-avowed "defender of democracy," told me and other conservative students that we should live in fear of political persecution if we dare serve our country in the Trump administration. Sadly for her, we will never be intimidated by her Bolshevik-style tactics," he wrote on X. The debate over Slotkin’s remarks unfolded as former President Barack Obama criticized the Trump administration’s scrutiny of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., arguing she was being targeted for her political views. "The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views," Obama wrote on X. One commenter accused Obama of overlooking what they saw as a parallel: Slotkin’s call for investigations of Trump administration officials. Omar is facing two separate federal inquiries: federal agents searched her Washington home as part of an investigation into her immigration paperwork, while D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said her office was examining Omar’s financial disclosures after businesses tied to her husband reported a sharp increase in value. It remains unclear whether the probes are connected. With the midterms approaching, Slotkin’s comments have added to the debate over how Democrats would use congressional power if they win control of the House or Senate.

"I have watched Bibi under the most trying of times," Trump wrote Sunday morning in a full-throated endorsement of the Likud leader. "Normal men or women in such situations would have wilted under the pressure — But Bibi did not wilt, he actually got stronger, and maintains that same Strength today." "This is the kind of Partner that the United States of America is demanding of Israel, a Country for which it has done so much," Trump added. "Please let this Letter serve to represent my Complete and Total Endorsement of Bibi Netanyahu in his upcoming Race for Re-election as Prime Minister of Israel." NETANYAHU PRAISES TRUMP'S 'WICKED SENSE OF HUMOR,' DEFENDS IRONCLAD ALLIANCE AHEAD OF HISTORIC ISRAEL VOTE "If Israel has the wrong leader, which would be anyone other than Bibi, America will have to do this work ourselves, and I am not inclined to do so," Trump wrote. "BIBI NETANYAHU WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!" Trump concluded. NETANYAHU REJECTS REPORTS OF A RIFT WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP, SAYS THE TWO REMAIN ALIGNED ON IRAN "Thank you, President Trump, for the tremendous support and the joint work," Netanyahu replied on X shortly after. "Together, we will complete the mission." The Israeli elections are a battle for control of a majority in the 120-seat Knesset, which will ultimately decide the next prime minister from a broad coalition. Israelis will vote for party lists, with seats distributed proportionally among parties that clear the 3.25% threshold. TRUMP WELCOMES NETANYAHU TO WHITE HOUSE AS RAGING IRAN WAR THREATENS TO SOUR US-ISRAEL RELATIONSHIP After the vote, the Israeli president will consult with party leaders and assign a Knesset member — usually the leader best positioned to form a coalition — to build a government; the candidate must secure the support of at least 61 of the Knesset’s 120 members. Isaac Herzog is Israel’s president, but he is not on the ballot and he does not lead a party or bloc. Current forecasts show Likud winning roughly 18–22 seats, while a Netanyahu-aligned right-religious bloc (which includes other parties) is projected at a total about 49–51 seats — short of a majority — leaving smaller parties and potential coalition partners with the balance of power.

Neither was the case. The posts were part of a business venture the 47-year-old retired MLB star has gotten himself into. In between his analyst role for TNT Sports and sinking hole-in-ones for luxury boats, the 2007 NL MVP has "redesigned the panty." A noble endeavor that has apparently paid off. The first of the posts that caught his followers off-guard included screenshots of text messages about how amazing The Pretty Kitty Klub is. That's the underwear brand he co-founded. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Jimmy wrote, "Texts like this lets us know that @theprettykittyklub is doing its job and saving sex lives one marriage at a time 😂." Understandably, this post following one that declared "postseason defense matters!" had people wondering if he had been hacked. Rarely do you see that much range from post to post on Instagram. But it was real. Jimmy Rollins hadn't been hacked. He had indeed been out there saving marriages by rethinking the design of women's underwear. SYDNEY SWEENEY AND LIVVY DUNNE FORM ALLIANCE AS LINGERIE WAR WITH VICTORIA'S SECRET OFFICIALLY HEATS UP The second post had models in the product and a message about the upcoming holiday season. It was a doubling down that had more questions filling up the comment section. "Okay everyone keeps texting and asking but I can’t name names, what I can do is give a glimpse of @theprettykittyklub," the Phillies great wrote. "Fellas remember it’s holiday season, get yourself a gift…for her 😜 and to all the Ladies comfy and sexy does exist, treat yourself and you can thank me later. (All the models and scenes are real, AI helped me edit 🤷🏾‍♂️)" While there were a lot of folks wondering what was going on, and where this had all come from? He did have fans who had grown up with him willing to go along with it. Without any answers. "I had a lifesize poster of you on my wall as a kid," one fan wrote. "I guess this is what I’m getting my girl for xmas now😂" Another added, "Is my 🐐 ok? I’m a guy but if World Series champion and Phillies legend j-roll says so I’ll buy some." The company confirmed that up until last week Jimmy had been taking a more private role with the company. "Mr. Rollins is a co-founder of Pretty Kitty Klub," they told NY Post in a statement. "Jimmy has taken a more private role, focused on the company’s long-term vision, strategic growth, and business development. That’s why he isn’t currently featured on the website." Dream big and have more than one. Life doesn’t end once you hang up the cleats. There is more work to be done and women's underwear to redesign.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad4f66875342cf4db920cc8 Bernie Sanders admits Democrats failed working-class voters on economics, driving them to Donald Trump te 2026-10-18T16:40:08.726Z Bernie Sanders admits Democrats failed working-class voters on economics, driving them to Donald Trump Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., acknowledged on Saturday that Democrats failed working-class Americans economically, contributing to voters abandoning the party for President Donald Trump. When asked during an interview on MS NOW what exactly Democrats had done wrong to lose working-class voters to Trump, Sanders pointed to the party's economic record, arguing that its failure to address their financial struggles had contributed to declining support. "What I think what Trump did, again — this gets back to my view — that the Democratic Party failed working-class people on economic issues," Sanders said.  "I think they have a lot to be proud of in terms of fighting for civil rights, for women's rights, for gay rights, for environmental stuff, but in terms of working-class issues, no, I don't think they've done a good job," he added. JAMES CARVILLE BLAMES BERNIE SANDERS FOR TRUMP BEING PRESIDENT IN FIERY RANT Sanders, an independent, pointed to unfulfilled economic promises and trade agreements he blamed for the loss of American manufacturing jobs as reasons working-class voters became disillusioned with the party. "What they did is for years, they heard the Democrats say, 'Oh, we're going to do this, we're going to do that, and we're going to help you.' And they didn't. And it's true. Democrats pushed through terrible trade deals, which cost us millions of good-paying manufacturing jobs, et cetera, et cetera. They lost faith in the Democratic Party, and not unjustifiably. All right?" Sanders said. When reached for comment by Fox News Digital, Republican National Committee national press secretary Natalie Baldassarre criticized Democrats' economic policies and argued that the party had abandoned working families. DEMOCRATS PUNISH MEMBERS WHO PUT WORKING AMERICANS AHEAD OF PARTY LOYALTY "Democrats can no longer claim to be the working class party when they hammer Americans with higher taxes, ship jobs overseas, and kill off the industries that make our country thrive. Democrats' only interest is appeasing their far-left base that wants to destroy our country from the inside out, and working families pay the price." A 2024 Fox News Voter Analysis found that Trump defeated former Vice President Kamala Harris 53% to 45% among voters with household incomes between $50,000 and $99,999. Harris carried voters earning $100,000 or more by 53% to 46%. Trump also won voters who reported falling behind financially by 29 percentage points, while around 40% of voters identified inflation as the most important factor in their vote, a group that backed Trump by nearly a two-to-one margin. This isn't the first time Sanders has called out the Democratic Party for abandoning the working class.  Following Trump's 2024 presidential victory, Sanders excoriated the Democratic Party.  TRUMP BET TARIFFS WOULD BRING BACK AMERICAN FACTORY JOBS. NEW REPORT SAYS IT DIDN'T WORK "It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working-class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well," Sanders said in the statement. "While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they're right," he continued. "As the gap between the rich and the working class get bigger and bigger, and as the middle class, or our understanding of the middle class, starts to really disappear in this country, and more and more people that had previously felt okay find themselves more squeezed than ever," she said. "I think that this has allowed the salience of class to really emerge in our politics." "A lot of what Bernie's been talking about forever, where I come from as well, in really forcefully taking on the corruption of corporate lobbying and fighting for working class issues, these issues have started to gain ground with more and more everyday Americans across party lines as well."

During a recent interview with Fox News Digital, the 42-year-old actress spoke about her new film, "The One," and how moving to Nashville, Tennessee has allowed her to give her kids the childhood she had. "I remember being in Studio City with the two kids, and we couldn't afford to have a bigger place with a bigger backyard and neighborhoods like that. Again, we just couldn't afford certain neighborhoods and, for me, Tennessee has just always been a place that every time I land, my nervous system just like relaxes, it feels calm," she said. As someone who grew up in the Midwest, she "struggled" with the idea that some of her "greatest memories as a child" included running around her "neighborhood and just going from friend's house to friend's house," and staying out playing "until the sun went down." JANA KRAMER SAYS HOLDING ON TO TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS 'DRAINS YOU' UNTIL YOU ‘START LOSING YOURSELF' COMPLETELY After moving to Tennessee, she said it now brings her joy to watch her children having a similar childhood, spending their days "on their bikes and going to their friends houses," noting "it just makes me feel like home." "I love it here. You can always go back," she added. "You can always go to Hollywood, but things have changed so much with self-tapes, which I actually don't love, but you can. It's a plane away." WATCH: Jana Kramer moved to Nashville to give her kids a taste of her Midwestern childhood The "One Tree Hill" star explained that while she knows many people who are raising their children in Los Angeles, and "that's amazing for them," she enjoys the "totally different life" in Tennessee. She attributes her affinity towards Tennessee to her own upbringing in Michigan, noting she values how she was raised, "that I just really wanted that same upbringing for my kids." GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE The actress shares two children with her ex-husband Mike Caussin – Jolie and Jace – and a son, Roman, with her husband Allan Russell. Kramer's latest film, "The One," tells the story of an 18-year-old navigating through homelessness after aging out of the foster care system. "I remember reading the script and just, I love a complicated story,  you know, I think it's always fun to play those roles because life is complex," she said. "But I loved the story behind it. I loved the faith element. It wasn't completely thrown in your face, but it was a beautiful thread throughout the movie. And it just had a lot of heart to it. And so I felt that in the movie, and then I felt that pain that everyone was going through. And so, I just really wanted to be a part of telling that story." WATCH: Jana Kramer 'learned a lot' about the foster care system while filming 'The One'  "The One" hits theaters nationwide on Nov 5th, coinciding with national homeless youth awareness month, bringing timely attention to the film’s story.

WATCH: Jana Kramer's new movie 'The One' focuses on teenage homelessness "I just… I can't imagine that as a kid," she said. "It's like I think about my kids, and it makes me sad to think about. Them not feeling safe or them being put into unsafe homes because our job as parents is to protect them. And it makes me really sad that, some kids in the foster system don't get placed into safe homes and those that have to hop around."

Assembly Bill 1803 was signed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom last month and will take effect Jan. 1, 2028. It stipulates that employers with five or more employees who are covered by the state’s existing harassment-training requirements must include additional instruction on recognizing, reporting and addressing workplace speech that "vilifies, humiliates, or incites hatred" based on protected characteristics, including sexual orientation and gender identity. But Christian churches that base their teachings on biblical passages stating that homosexual acts or same-sex relationships are contrary to biblical teaching, are not explicitly exempt from the new training requirements. LOS ANGELES SCHOOLS QUIETLY REMOVE COMPULSORY 'AFFIRM AND RESPECT' GENDER IDENTITY PLEDGE FROM LGBTQ TRAINING The California Family Council and pastors from several traditional churches across the state say the law poses a significant problem. They warn that traditional Christian teachings on sexuality, marriage and gender could become entangled in workplace disputes over what constitutes hateful speech. "California has gotten excited about their ability to retrain the entire population regarding what they believe about gender and sexual orientation," Greg Burt, vice president of the California Family Council (CFC), told Fox News Digital regarding the legislation. "... But California’s Civil Rights Department put together some curriculum that is explicitly condemning anyone who has a conservative view." JONATHAN TURLEY: FRANCE'S FREE SPEECH CRACKDOWN SHOWS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN POLITICIANS DEFINE TRUTH Burt agrees with Dr. Paul Chappell, pastor of Lancaster Baptist Church in Lancaster, California, who recently said on the Todd Starnes podcast that "AB 1803 is poorly written and a stretch by another liberal California legislator attempting to create bias against conservatives." "You cannot regulate what you cannot define," Burt told the California Assembly Labor and Employment Committee last March during a hearing on the bill. SOCIAL WORKER SUES AFTER SHE SAYS SHE REFUSED TO CONCEAL STUDENTS’ GENDER TRANSITIONS FROM PARENTS Burt said that an addition made several years ago to sexual harassment training, which included harassment based on gender identity and sexual orientation, left people wondering what it means to discriminate against or harass someone on those grounds. That uncertainty, he said, led California’s Civil Rights Department to develop its latest training curriculum. AB 1803 does not create a separate training requirement. Instead, employers are expected to incorporate the new material into programs they already provide. The training module posted on the California Civil Rights website includes a slide defining "gender identity" as each person’s "internal understanding of their gender." According to the state, that understanding may be male, female, "a combination of male and female," "neither male nor female" or nonbinary. NEBRASKA CHRISTIAN THERAPISTS SUE CITY OVER BAN ON HELPING MINORS ACCEPT THEIR BIOLOGICAL SEX Burt emphasized that while most people can agree that certain speech is hateful and wrong, the government’s power to define "hate" could expand beyond clear-cut cases and begin targeting disfavored viewpoints, particularly religious beliefs. He also argued that the training hinges on a term — hate speech — that has no clear legal definition in state law. The legislation contains no explicit exemption for matters of conscience. Burt also pointed out that the new training requirements extend beyond private-sector employees to public school teachers and workers in many state-licensed industries. He argued that the training could put employers in the position of deciding whether to discipline employees over their religious beliefs, potentially exposing employers and employees to lawsuits if they fail to act. Meanwhile, Equality California, the state’s leading LGBTQ+ advocacy organization and a supporter of the legislation, has argued that existing harassment training contains a significant gap that leaves employees vulnerable to hostile work environments. Fox News Digital reached out to the nonprofit for comment, but the organization declined. CATHOLIC NUNS CARING FOR DYING PATIENTS FIGHT NEW YORK TRANS RULE, FACE JAIL TIME However, Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, who has also spoken out against the legislation, offered a strong criticism of the measure. "So, historically, in the state of California, for certainly the last 16 years, the California state legislature has been very aggressive in crafting special protections and special legislation to enshrine the LGBTQ community to their ranks. That said... The California legislature has also been proven to be one of questionable character and morality," Hibbs told Fox News Digital. "Now, all of a sudden, they have concluded that they, of their own volition, make themselves the moral police and the archbishop as it were over the conduct of even churches in California regarding their ‘hate speech’ agenda." "It is an encroachment upon the church, it is themselves setting themselves up as the moral police, where they have proven to be derelict regarding that, and the church itself is actually the moral conscience of any culture," he added. "The Trojan horse has gotten within the walls and the government is now seeking to legislate their godless morality even into the conduct of the church. And it's completely unacceptable and will be challenged," he said. Fox News Digital reached out to Governor Newsom’s office and the California Civil Rights Department of California for comment.

After all, your health records can reveal some of the most personal details about your life. Now, a massive cyberattack involving Oracle Health is raising serious questions about how well that information is protected. Nearly 20 million people reportedly had their personal and medical information compromised in a cyberattack involving older Cerner systems. The attack dates back to early 2025, but new details about its reach are still emerging. For patients, the concern goes well beyond stolen passwords. Hackers may have obtained Social Security numbers, diagnoses and even medical images.

MEDICAL IDENTITY THEFT FOLLOWS YOU INTO THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE The Oracle Health data breach appears to be much larger than earlier patient notifications suggested. According to figures reported in filings with the Texas Attorney General, the personal and medical information of approximately 19.9 million people was compromised in a cyberattack involving legacy Cerner systems. The Texas Attorney General's official data breach portal published Cerner's entry on October 2, 2026. It lists 2,992,244 affected Texas residents. The nationwide figure reported in connection with the filing is 19,929,149 people. Oracle has not separately confirmed the nationwide total in a public statement. Still, the reported scale would place this incident among the largest healthcare data breaches in U.S. history. The attack involved older systems belonging to Cerner, an electronic health records company Oracle acquired in June 2022 for approximately $28.3 billion. The business now operates as Oracle Health. Cerner's technology helps hospitals and healthcare providers manage patient information. As a result, unauthorized access to those systems can expose records belonging to patients across multiple healthcare organizations. The trouble began in early 2025. Oracle started notifying affected healthcare customers in March after discovering unauthorized access involving older Cerner systems. According to Oracle's customer communications, the company became aware of the incident around February 20, 2025. Investigators found evidence suggesting that an attacker used stolen customer credentials to access a legacy server sometime after January 22. The attacker then copied information to a remote server. The server had not yet been migrated to Oracle Cloud. However, investigators have not publicly established that the server's age caused the breach. The precise way the attacker obtained the stolen credentials also remains unclear. This raises an uncomfortable question. How much sensitive patient information remains on older healthcare systems, even after a major technology company takes ownership? The attacker allegedly tried to turn the stolen information into a multimillion-dollar payday. According to earlier BleepingComputer reporting, an individual using the name "Andrew" contacted affected hospitals and demanded cryptocurrency payments. The attacker reportedly threatened to leak or sell stolen patient information unless the victims paid. The individual also allegedly created public websites about the breach to increase pressure on healthcare organizations. At the time, researchers had not established a connection between the attacker and a known ransomware or extortion group. For hospitals, that creates a difficult situation. Even if an organization pays, there is no guarantee the criminal will delete the stolen records or refrain from selling copies. Meanwhile, patients may have no idea their information is being used as leverage. What personal and medical information was stolen? A sample breach notification filed with California regulators provides a closer look at the information potentially exposed. Depending on the patient, the compromised records may have included: The exact information exposed can vary from person to person. However, the combination of personal identifiers and medical details makes this incident particularly troubling. Unlike a stolen credit card, you cannot simply cancel your medical history and request a replacement. Your diagnoses, treatment records and past prescriptions can remain sensitive for years. Criminals could potentially use that information to create convincing medical scams, impersonate patients or commit identity theft. They may also combine medical details with other stolen information to make fraudulent calls and emails appear more credible. FAKE PATIENT PORTAL SCAM CAN STEAL YOUR LOGIN AND INFECT YOUR PC State breach filings offer a clearer view of the attack's scale. The Texas attorney general's October 2, 2026, filing lists 2,992,244 affected residents in Texas alone. Other state notifications show how widely the incident spread. Oregon reported 1,978,661 affected residents, while South Carolina identified 283,903. Washington also reported 69,238 people whose information was compromised. These figures represent portions of the overall incident and should not be added to the nationwide total of nearly 20 million. Meanwhile, filings with Oregon regulators identify January 22 through April 1, 2025, as the reported breach period, with February 20 listed as the discovery date. These disclosures show how complicated healthcare breach reporting can become. Patients in different states may receive notifications at different times, while the full impact can take months or longer to emerge. Unfortunately, healthcare organizations have become attractive targets for cybercriminals. Medical records contain information that can support identity theft and fraud long after an initial attack. One of the biggest examples came in 2024, when attackers targeted Change Healthcare, a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group. That breach ultimately affected approximately 192.7 million people. The Oracle Health incident appears smaller by comparison. Still, a reported 20 million affected individuals represents an enormous amount of sensitive information. The incident also raises questions about how healthcare organizations protect records stored on older systems. Those systems can remain essential to daily operations, even as companies upgrade their technology. In this case, investigators identified stolen credentials as the reported access method, rather than a publicly confirmed vulnerability in the legacy server. We reached out to Oracle Health for comment, but did not hear back before our deadline. You may have never heard of Cerner, even if your hospital uses its technology. That makes it harder to know whether your records were involved. However, there are practical steps you can take now to reduce the risk of identity theft and medical fraud. Check your mail for notices from Cerner, Oracle Health or a healthcare provider you have visited. The notification should explain what information may have been exposed and whether any protective services are available. You can also contact your hospital's privacy office directly. Avoid clicking links in unexpected messages claiming you need to verify your medical records. A credit freeze can help prevent criminals from opening new credit accounts using your identity. You can request one for free through Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. You'll need to contact all three bureaus separately. A freeze will not prevent every form of identity theft, but it can block an important route criminals use. Review your health insurance explanation of benefits statements for appointments, treatments or prescriptions you do not recognize. Also, look for unfamiliar providers or incorrect information in your medical records. Contact your insurer and healthcare provider if something looks suspicious. Medical identity theft can lead to fraudulent bills and inaccurate patient records, so catching problems early is important. A healthcare breach can create opportunities for phishing emails and malicious attachments. Strong antivirus software can help detect malware, suspicious downloads and some dangerous links before they cause harm. Keep your devices updated and avoid downloading files from unexpected healthcare messages. Antivirus protection cannot undo the Oracle Health breach, but it can help defend against attacks that follow it. Get my picks for the best 2026 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android & iOS devices at Cyberguy.com THE SCAMMER AT YOUR DOCTOR'S OFFICE MAY ALREADY KNOW WHO YOU ARE Someone who knows your doctor's name or recent treatment details may sound legitimate over the phone. Criminals could use stolen information to impersonate healthcare workers, demand payments or ask you to confirm your Social Security number. Hang up and call the provider using a number from its official website or your insurance card. Never assume a caller is legitimate simply because they know something about your medical history. Use unique passwords for healthcare portals and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever available. A password manager can help you create and store strong passwords without reusing them. If you suspect your account credentials were compromised, change the affected password immediately. Remember, changing a password will not retrieve stolen medical records, but it can help protect your accounts from additional unauthorized access. If your Social Security number was exposed, an identity theft protection service may help you monitor for suspicious activity involving your personal information. Some services also offer alerts and assistance with recovery. Review any free monitoring offered through your breach notification before purchasing a separate plan. Keep in mind that monitoring services cannot guarantee prevention of identity theft or detect every form of medical fraud. See my tips and best picks on Best Identity Theft Protection at Cyberguy.com What concerns me most about the Oracle Health breach is how little control patients have over where their medical information ends up. You can be extremely careful with your passwords and avoid suspicious links, yet your most sensitive records may still sit on a server you never knew existed. The fact that this attack involved a legacy server makes the situation even more frustrating. Investigators have identified stolen credentials as the reported access method, but we still don't know exactly how those credentials were compromised. When a company acquires a healthcare technology provider, protecting the information already stored in those systems should be a priority. Patients deserve to know that their records remain secure throughout technology upgrades. And consider the timing. The attack dates back to early 2025, yet its potential scale is becoming clearer in October 2026. That's a long time for people to remain uncertain about what happened to their information. Healthcare organizations need to do a better job protecting patient records and communicating clearly when something goes wrong. Would you trust a hospital with your most personal medical information if you knew it was stored on older technology, and should healthcare companies face tougher consequences when millions of patient records are exposed?

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad4f1cc75342cf4db920bc1 Where's Macron? French leader blasted for attending concert as riots escalated te 2026-10-18T16:20:28.796Z Where's Macron? French leader blasted for attending concert as riots escalated French President Emmanuel Macron is facing criticism over his decision to attend a Celine Dion concert Friday night, on the eve of nationwide demonstrations that descended into violence, leaving hundreds of emergency personnel injured and nearly 1,800 people arrested. Macron and his wife, Brigitte, were spotted at Dion’s concert at the Plenitude Arena in Nanterre, west of Paris, according to French media reports. The couple reportedly arrived and left discreetly and were among roughly 35,000 spectators at the performance. The concert came after Macron spent Thursday and Friday in Brussels attending a European Council meeting. During a news conference in Brussels on Friday, he called for "calm and respect" ahead of Saturday’s planned demonstrations, saying the right to protest must be exercised with respect for people and property.  By Saturday, demonstrations over rising living costs, school conditions and declining public services had escalated into clashes with police, fires, looting and attacks on public buildings in several cities. VIOLENCE ERUPTS AT FRANCE PROTESTS AS MACRON WARNS UNREST IS BEING EXPLOITED French authorities said Sunday that nearly 1,800 people had been arrested nationwide, including 855 in the Paris region. More than 500 police officers, gendarmes and firefighters were injured, according to Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez. One protester died after suffering cardiac arrest during demonstrations in Paris, authorities said. In Limoges, a fire that authorities said was deliberately set at the city hall caused significant damage to the historic building. Shops were looted in Paris, Bordeaux, Marseille, Lyon and other cities, while public buildings were vandalized or targeted by fires. Authorities estimated that more than 550,000 people participated in demonstrations across France. Organizers put the figure at roughly 800,000. Macron condemned the destruction Saturday evening, writing on X that those responsible for damaging property, attacking public buildings and looting businesses would face prosecution and punishment. He also expressed support for law enforcement and warned against efforts to undermine French institutions. His statement came after violence had spread through several major cities, raising questions about the government's preparations for the demonstrations and its ability to contain the unrest. The hostilities began as a month-long student movement over school conditions and teacher shortages in working-class suburbs before broadening into a larger protest movement against inequality, public spending cuts and the rising cost of living. LIMOGES TOWN HALL ‘LARGELY LOST’ AFTER FAR-LEFT RIOTERS SET HISTORIC BUILDING ON FIRE AMID FRENCH UNREST Government officials have blamed violent groups and looters for the destruction. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu attributed the unrest to the "ultra-left" and criminals, while opposition leaders criticized the government's handling of the violence ahead of next year’s presidential election. Right-wing leader Marine Le Pen condemned the looting and destruction, while left-wing leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon defended the protesters’ broader grievances and criticized the government’s handling of the demonstrations. Mélenchon accused Lecornu of "playing with fire," according to reports. The violence also left businesses facing extensive damage and mounting financial losses. Carrefour CEO Alexandre Bompard told French television that 50 of the retailer’s stores were damaged, including 20 that were looted, with losses estimated in the tens of millions of euros, according to Reuters. The mayors of Paris, Marseille and Lyon have requested a meeting with the prime minister to discuss the damage. Local officials in Marseille and Bordeaux have announced or proposed emergency assistance for affected businesses. Macron is scheduled to address the nation at 8 p.m. local time Sunday, or 2 p.m. Eastern, after meeting with senior government officials. His speech will come as France begins a nationwide cleanup effort and authorities prepare prosecutions for those arrested. The address will mark a critical test for Macron as his government faces mounting pressure over the scale of the destruction, the police response and the economic grievances that fueled the demonstrations.

Savannah James, entrepreneur and wife of NBA superstar LeBron James, recently discussed how she and her friend April McDaniel handle the difference in their travel budgets when they travel. Speaking on the "Mental Wealth" podcast, McDaniel said she does not expect to sit in first class simply because Savannah James does. OUTRAGED PASSENGERS SAY PARENTS DITCHED ROWDY KIDS IN COACH WHILE THEY UPGRADED TO FIRST CLASS "If we're going on the same trip, I don't feel the need to be in first [class] because that's not in my budget," McDaniel said. Savannah James said her friends understand that traveling with her does not mean she will automatically cover their expenses. "My friends are very respectful of my situation," Savannah James said. "There's no expectation of, like, taking care of something or, you know, just having me be responsible for them. It has never, ever been that." This approach to traveling together has created debate online — with some people questioning whether the wealthier friend should pay the difference so that the group can sit together. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER Diane Gottsman, a national etiquette expert and founder of the Protocol School of Texas, told Fox News Digital there's nothing inherently wrong with friends choosing different cabins as long as everyone is comfortable with the arrangement. "If you have a group of friends, and they are flying coach while you want to fly first class, there's really nothing wrong with it as long as everyone is understanding and agreeable," Gottsman said. The situation changes, however, if someone feels excluded or uncomfortable, she said. Even when one traveler has considerably more money to spend, Gottsman said that doesn't make that person responsible for paying to upgrade everyone else. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE STORIES "It's not an obligation of the person who makes more money to upgrade everyone else," she said. "Just take your seat up front and say you'll see everyone when you land." The arrangement shared by Savannah James and her friend April McDaniel drew sharply different reactions from travelers online. One commenter said that while friends should not feel entitled to someone else's money, having significant wealth would make them want to share more of those experiences with people close to them. "No one is entitled to anything," the Reddit user wrote.  The person added, "If we're childhood besties, and I have an abundance of wealth, I'm treating my friend to nice experiences!" TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ Others saw nothing wrong with friends paying for the level of travel they can each comfortably afford. "I feel empowered to get what I can afford and not have my friends pay for me just because they have the money," another person wrote. "I'm not her kid." "It's really not that big of a deal," another user wrote. "It's a plane ride." Fox News Digital reached out to Savannah James for comment but did not immediately hear back.

And they give it, too. During the first quarter of the Jacksonville Jaguars versus Houston Texans game in London, umpire Larry Smith was going about his duties, changing the ball out after a play, when he slipped on the slick Wembley Stadium turf and fell. Smith got back up under his own power and then collapsed. It seemed one of his knees buckled. And as trainers came out to attend to Smith, we saw a reminder that these people so often challenged by coaches and players, and criticized and condemned by fans on social media and other forums, are indeed human. While Smith lay on the turf getting attention, line judge Carl Johnson came over, took a knee, removed his cap, and began to pray for his fallen friend and colleague. THE NFL IS AMERICA'S MOST GOD-CENTERED PROFESSIONAL SPORTS LEAGUE AND SUNDAY'S GAMES CONTINUED TO PROVE IT You see this done by players for one another all the time. We saw it this year when Jaxson Dart went down for the Giants and again when Jayden Daniels was injured when the Commanders played the Cowboys. Packers players also kneeled to pray for fallen teammate Jayden Reed when he injured his neck earlier this season. It was moving to see it done by one official for another. Smith required a cart to leave the field. The report from the NFL Network said Smith suffered a lower-leg injury. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! The officiating crew shifted its formation to work the game with six people instead of the regulation seven. And we have a noteworthy moment that adds context to the other news officials have made this season, including a couple of suspensions on October 5 following Jeff Seeman's cursing at Arizona tight end Trey McBride and Adrian Hill's confrontational behavior in a Minnesota Vikings game.

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni took to social media to condemn the unrest and back law enforcement. Meloni wrote on X: "Once again, the women and men of the Law Enforcement Forces have had to face the violence of criminals who, even through organized groups, exploit demonstrations to seek confrontation and sow chaos," she posted. She added, "Because they were there to safeguard the safety of citizens, workers, merchants and all the people who have the right to live [in] their city without fear and without seeing it laid to waste and set ablaze by gangs of thugs," she continued. "We stand with you." VIOLENCE ERUPTS AT FRANCE PROTESTS AS MACRON WARNS UNREST IS BEING EXPLOITED Her Sunday morning post came after scenes of violence between protesters and police, the most visible being outside Milan’s historic Cathedral, known as the Piazza del Duomo. The Associated Press reported 50 demonstrators, including minors, were detained and at least two police officers were hurt in a protest that required water cannons to disperse the crowd, quoting the LaPresse news agency. Rioters looted stores and smashed windows inside Milan’s Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, one of Italy’s most famous 19th‑century arcades. Meloni had already laid blame for the protests on Saturday night, posting: "Thugs who exploit demonstrations to sow chaos, attack those who ensure security and hold entire cities hostage… Demonstrating is a right. Setting our cities ablaze is not." She added a message to her political opponents: "I renew my request to the opposition: do not be ambiguous about this. Unequivocally condemn these acts of violence and issue a clear appeal for every mobilization to be peaceful." LIMOGES TOWN HALL 'LARGELY LOST' AFTER FAR-LEFT RIOTERS SET HISTORIC BUILDING ON FIRE AMID FRENCH UNREST Il Sole 24 news site quoted Francesco Filini, MP for Meloni's Fratelli d’Italia and national program coordinator, as saying: "It is no longer tolerable that every time left-wing extremists take to the streets, scenes of organized destruction unfold. We are not dealing with mere demonstrators, but with organized groups that plan violence." Saturday's demonstrations were organized by the Confederazione Generale Italiana del Lavoro, or CGIL, Italy’s oldest labor union with over 5 million members, often connected to Italian political parties on the left. Meloni posted she had "great respect for the thousands" who protested peacefully and calling participation "the foundation of any healthy democracy… we cannot ignore what happened in other Italian squares." She noted that in Milan "stones were thrown at the Law Enforcement Forces, officers were injured, damage and violence occurred that forced the interruption of the procession. In Turin, people were stopped carrying cobblestones and window-breaking hammers. In Bologna, the disorders led to the precautionary closure of the railway station." "In the face of scenes like these, the rejection must be unanimous," Meloni posted. "Any hesitation becomes justification. Silence is not acceptable." ITALY ROCKED BY ANARCHIST-LED RIOTS AS OVER 100 POLICE INJURED, MELONI CONDEMNS VIOLENCE Milan’s center-left mayor, Giuseppe Sala, told the Associated Press, "The reasons for the protests were understandable. The violence against law enforcement and serious damage to the city are not justifiable." Reuters reported some 56 police officers were injured in the protest in Bologna, citing the police union, and the interior ministry says about 100 officers were hurt and around 30 arrests were made in the demonstration in Turin. Reuters and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

"Well, let me be clear. Hacking of a government website, hacking of a private sector website — if your product does that, you are responsible," Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, who was recently charged with heading the newly announced Super Intelligence Force (SIF) said Saturday on "My View with Lara Trump." The SIF will also be led by FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson, Department of War Chief Technology Officer Emil Michael and OPM Director Scott Kupor, who will report to Trump and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. Addressing recent reports that Anthropic models submitted a visa application to the State Department and even a false homicide tip to the police, Clayton said that the government had already intervened. "We immediately told Anthropic, 'You need to get in there and assist the entities that have had this happen to them, patch their systems and prevent this from happening again.' And I fully expect them to do that," he said.  AG BLANCHE REJECTS CALLS FOR NEW AI LAWS AFTER ROGUE AGENTS TARGET US GOVERNMENT WEBSITES He rejected the notion that these increasingly autonomous AI systems operate within a "life of their own" that absolves companies from responsibility. "I think there's been a reset, and it's now our job to enforce that reset," he said. The SIF was given 120 days to recommend AI guardrails to the president that will keep Americans safe without stifling innovation. Clayton said he would focus on the "issues of the moment" when it comes to autonomous agents going rogue, which he laid out in three categories: detection, reporting and response. "We know that there are going to be incidents in the development and application of super intelligence... How do participants in the marketplace report those to the government in a timely and comprehensive way to enable us to react and them to react in the best interest of the American people?" He said Americans want to know "that we are the cop on the beat," and that the government is requiring frontier labs "to address any harms."

A sleek white sports car climbed a towering curved ramp until it was completely upside down. Then it launched into the air, flipped over and landed safely back on the pavement. And that was only part of the show. Tesla also demonstrated acceleration from zero to 60 mph in a claimed 0.81 seconds.

FLYING SPORTS CAR HIDES ITS WINGS AS PRODUCTION GETS CLOSER On Oct. 15, 2026, Tesla unveiled its redesigned Roadster at SpaceX's rocket testing facility in McGregor, Texas. The event brought together engineers from both companies to demonstrate technology more commonly associated with spacecraft. During the demonstration, a Roadster prototype accelerated up a massive curved ramp. A powerful suction system helped keep the vehicle attached as it climbed upside down. Once it reached the top, compressed-gas thrusters propelled it into the air. The vehicle then rotated in midair and landed back on its wheels. Tesla followed that stunt with another impressive maneuver. The Roadster lifted off the ground and flew over a lineup of Tesla vehicles, including a Cybercab, Cybertruck, Tesla Semi, Model Y and Model 3. Nobody was inside the Roadster during these high-risk demonstrations. Musk said Tesla used automated controls to avoid putting anyone in danger. Tesla shared footage of the event on its official X account. You can also watch the full Tesla Roadster unveiling on YouTube. Here's where the engineering gets especially interesting. Tesla worked with SpaceX to develop a system that uses highly compressed gas to generate thrust. Unlike conventional rocket engines, these cold-gas thrusters don't burn fuel. Instead, they release pressurized gas through nozzles to push the vehicle in a particular direction. The Roadster also uses four powerful electric fans positioned near the rear of the car. They pull air from underneath the vehicle to create suction. That increases the force pressing the tires against the surface, helping the car maintain grip even while upside down. Tesla also uses a ground-sealing system to help maintain suction underneath the vehicle. Meanwhile, the thrusters handle a very different job. Four rear-mounted nozzles provide extra forward acceleration. The most advanced Rocket configuration adds six more thrusters positioned around the vehicle to help control movement in the air. According to Tesla engineering executive Lars Moravy, the standard thruster setup uses a 200-liter high-pressure storage vessel behind the seats. The Rocket configuration adds another 400 liters of storage capacity, bringing the total to approximately 600 liters. That additional equipment takes up the passenger seat area. There's also a practical limitation that gets lost in the excitement. According to Tesla engineering executive Lars Moravy, refilling the Rocket prototype's entire 600-liter high-pressure gas storage system currently takes approximately six to seven hours. Tesla hopes to cut that time significantly. So while the demonstration was extraordinary, the Roadster's brief airborne maneuvers are a long way from sustained flight like an airplane. Inside, Tesla has taken a different approach to the driving experience. The Roadster features a steer-by-wire yoke that electronically transmits steering inputs. Tesla also uses lightweight materials, including magnesium and carbon fiber, along with a fixed seat base to reduce weight. Meanwhile, Track Mode lowers the suspension so drivers can adjust the car for more aggressive handling. Tesla has made some extraordinary performance claims about the Roadster, and its latest unveiling added another. During the event, Tesla showed a thruster-assisted acceleration run that it said took the prototype from zero to 60 mph in approximately 0.81 seconds. That's remarkably quick, even compared with some of the fastest electric supercars. However, the result came from Tesla's own demonstration. Independent testing has yet to verify that acceleration figure on a production vehicle. Tesla also claims the Roadster's more powerful configurations can exceed 230 mph. Musk went even further during the unveiling, suggesting engineers eventually want to reach half the speed of sound. That would be roughly 380 mph, depending on atmospheric conditions. For now, that more ambitious target remains an aspiration rather than a demonstrated capability. Tesla also projects more than 300 miles of driving range on a charge. That's a substantial reduction from the approximately 620 miles promised when the second-generation Roadster was first introduced in 2017. At the time, Tesla also envisioned a four-seat sports car. FLYING TAXIS ARE TAKING OFF IN TEXAS. IS YOUR CITY NEXT? Here's something worth knowing before getting too excited about the flying demonstration. Tesla offers a road-focused Performance configuration, along with two more extreme options called Thrust and Rocket. Each adds capabilities that take the Roadster further beyond a conventional electric sports car. The Performance version is designed for conventional road driving. It seats two people and features active aerodynamics along with the advanced suction system. Tesla claims it can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in under 1.6 seconds without the rocket-style thrusters. The Thrust configuration takes acceleration considerably further. It adds four rear-mounted cold-gas thrusters to the two-seat design. Tesla claims this version can reach 60 mph in under 0.9 seconds. The company describes it as race-ready and plans a limited release. The Rocket version is the one that really pushes the technology. It uses 10 thrusters to provide forward acceleration, upward movement and airborne maneuvering. Tesla claims this configuration could reach 60 mph in under 0.59 seconds. However, all that additional equipment requires a compromise. The Rocket version seats only one person and will be available by invitation. Tesla also explicitly warns that it has not received approval for public road use. Musk acknowledged that safety wasn't necessarily the top priority when developing the Roadster's most extreme capabilities. He also expressed uncertainty about where those features would be legal to use. For now, Tesla has only demonstrated the airborne maneuvers under controlled conditions. Keep in mind that these acceleration figures are Tesla's projected specifications. They have yet to be independently confirmed on production vehicles. This is where potential buyers should pay close attention. When Tesla originally announced the second-generation Roadster in 2017, it discussed a starting price of approximately $200,000. However, Tesla did not announce a new final purchase price at its October 2026 unveiling. Instead, the company reopened reservations with substantial upfront payments. For the Performance version, Tesla requires an initial $5,000 payment followed by another $45,000 within 10 days. That brings the total reservation payment to $50,000. The limited-release Thrust version requires the same initial $5,000 payment. However, buyers must then provide another $245,000 within 10 days. That's a total reservation payment of $250,000, even though the vehicle's final purchase price remains unknown. Tesla has not disclosed pricing for the invitation-only Rocket configuration. According to Tesla's official Roadster Reservation Agreement, a reservation secures an approximate place in line rather than a completed vehicle order. Tesla says customers can cancel their reservations and receive a full refund until they complete their vehicle configuration after Tesla invites them to do so. However, the money won't be held separately in escrow or earn interest. There's another important detail. Tesla explicitly states that the Roadster remains under development and that it cannot guarantee when a vehicle will be delivered, or whether it will be delivered at all. And Tesla has already missed its original deadline by several years. The company initially expected deliveries to begin in 2020. Musk now says production should begin in 2028, although that remains a target rather than a guaranteed date. Here's something else that caught my attention. Musk suggested the Roadster could be among Tesla's last cars designed for human drivers. Think about that for a moment. Tesla is spending billions developing cars that drive themselves, yet its most exciting new vehicle is designed for people who actually love being behind the wheel. I find that pretty ironic, especially coming from the man who wants to make autonomous driving the norm. Just look at Tesla's Cybercab. It doesn't even have a steering wheel or traditional driving controls. We've already seen how Tesla's Cybercab is carrying riders in Austin, although questions about safety and operating restrictions remain. Meanwhile, the Roadster is all about the thrill of driving. There's something to be said for feeling the car respond when you hit the accelerator or take a sharp turn. Of course, Musk hasn't confirmed that Tesla will eliminate manual driving from its other vehicles. But if that's where the company is headed, I wonder how many drivers will be willing to give up the steering wheel. JCB HYDROMAX SHATTERS A WORLD RECORD WITH ‘EXTRAORDINARY’ SPEEDS TOPPING 400 MPH IN HYDROGEN-POWERED CAR You probably aren't planning to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a Tesla Roadster. Still, this project raises some interesting questions about where automotive technology could be headed. For starters, the Roadster's advanced suction system demonstrates how electric fans can dramatically increase traction. Similar technology already exists in specialized high-performance vehicles. Further development could eventually influence other types of performance cars. However, the cold-gas thrusters introduce challenges that may limit their usefulness outside controlled environments. The hardware occupies valuable space, while the pressurized gas supply requires replenishment after use. There's also the gap between demonstrating a prototype and delivering a finished vehicle. Tesla still needs to prove the Roadster can be manufactured reliably and meet applicable regulations. For anyone considering a reservation, I would take a close look at Tesla's current Roadster information and reservation terms before paying. The company's specifications are still subject to change, and the Roadster shown at the unveiling remains a prototype. I have to give Tesla credit for getting my attention with this one. Watching a sports car drive upside down and then launch itself into the air was pretty incredible. And knowing that engineers from Tesla and SpaceX worked together to pull it off makes the technology even more interesting. But here's what I'm watching. Tesla first showed us the next-generation Roadster back in 2017, and customers are still waiting. Now we're hearing 2028. I'd love to see this car actually make it into production because there's something refreshing about an electric sports car designed for people who still love to drive. But asking customers to put down as much as $250,000 without a final price or guaranteed delivery date is a lot to swallow. As much as I'd love to take one for a spin, I think I'll leave those midair flips to the engineers until Tesla can prove this technology belongs outside a controlled demonstration. Would you trust a car that can launch itself into the air and perform a midair flip, or has Elon Musk finally pushed automotive technology too far?

Simpson cover up the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, according to a bombshell New York Times investigation that uncovered secret federal records and allegations that the man returned from the night of the killings with blood on his hands. Joseph "Joey" Ippolito, a mob-connected associate of Simpson and his longtime friend Al Cowlings, allegedly returned to a Los Angeles apartment around midnight on June 12, 1994, carrying a mysterious bag containing a heavy object, his brother Sam Ippolito told the Times in an account that has raised questions, as well as some doubts. The investigation also uncovered previously sealed federal court records revealing that Ippolito had provided authorities with information about Simpson's alleged disposal of the murder weapon, which was never recovered. MARK FUHRMAN, DETECTIVE AT CENTER OF OJ SIMPSON MURDER TRIAL, DEAD AT 74 Sam Ippolito claimed his brother appeared to have blood on his hands after leaving the apartment hours earlier to help a friend. Joey allegedly stuffed his clothes into the bag and instructed Sam to dispose of it while he showered. Sam Ippolito told the newspaper he tossed the bag into a dumpster near a construction site along Doheny Drive in Los Angeles. He also claimed to have overheard Joey telling Cowlings over the phone that he had been "helping" Simpson that night. Joey Ippolito, a convicted drug trafficker who escaped from a Florida prison in May 1994, became a federal informant after his arrest in August 1995, while Simpson's nationally televised murder trial was nearing its conclusion. A December 1996 federal prosecution memorandum, recently unsealed at the newspaper's request, described Ippolito as a valuable source who possessed information about Simpson's alleged efforts to dispose of the murder weapon and his attempted flight from authorities. Then-federal prosecutor David Kelley described Ippolito in the letter as a "remarkable source of information" whose cooperation had proven valuable to investigators. When the newspaper spoke to Kelley recently, he said that he did not believe Joey Ippolito was involved in the killings. BILLS SUPERFAN DEFENDS OJ SIMPSON'S FOOTBALL LEGACY AFTER TEAM LEAVES JUICE OFF ITS WALL OF FAME The Times reported that the records show that information from Joey Ippolito was shared with Los Angeles prosecutors during Simpson's murder trial, although he was never called to testify. Former prosecutor Marcia Clark told the Times she had no knowledge of Joey Ippolito and maintained that she would have been informed if he had provided credible or relevant evidence. The account from Joey Ippolito's brother has come under scrutiny. After maintaining his allegations for months, Sam Ippolito reportedly sought compensation from the Times and later attempted to retract his statements, claiming he could no longer distinguish what was real from what was not. Friends and relatives of Joey Ippolito, who died in 2006, have also disputed suggestions that he participated in the murders. Cowlings did not respond to the newspaper’s request for comment by the time of its article's publication. The newly uncovered information raises fresh questions about whether Simpson had help on the night Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were stabbed to death outside her Los Angeles home. Simpson was acquitted of their murders in 1995 but was later found liable for their deaths in a civil trial. He died in April 2024 at age 76. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to the Times that the decades-old double-murder case remains an open investigation. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad4dc9d75342cf4db920762 Rory McIlroy fires back at Kevin Kisner after 'dogs---' comment about growing the game te 2026-10-18T14:50:05.847Z Rory McIlroy fires back at Kevin Kisner after 'dogs---' comment about growing the game Four-time PGA Tour winner Kevin Kisner accused Rory McIlroy of not exactly being genuine about growing the game of golf while teeing it up in India on the DP World Tour. Now, McIlroy has issued a rebuttal to Kisner's harsh accusations. In the lead-up to the DP World India Championship, McIlroy appeared at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in New Delhi and, among the many topics he touched on, explained that he hoped his decision to play in the event would help promote and grow the game in India. While his comments were as generic as they come, Kisner didn't buy them and called the six-time major winner out directly. Kisner claimed the only reason McIlroy was playing in India was to collect a hefty appearance fee. RORY MCILROY ADMITS HE'S NOT INTERESTED IN PLAYING MOST PGA TOUR EVENTS MOVING FORWARD "That is such a dog sh-t comment, but I guess for the right price, we could all say that comment," Kisner said on the Fore Play podcast. "He doesn’t want to globally expand in India; he wants to get his 10 million bucks and go play in India." "They always seem to say the right things while they’re over there," Kisner later continued. "As part of your appearance fee, here’s your script for altruism, and you need to mention these four lines in whatever interview you do throughout the week. Which is totally fine, I’d do it too, and all of us on this podcast would. I just find it hilarious when you can pop up and play an event where Rory McIlroy can’t hit his driver, and all those guys show up, and nobody’s like, ‘alright, this is stupid’, whenever they can go play the sickest course in the world, and none of them show up. It’s just very odd to me." THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! McIlroy, who finished T-42 in the India event, was asked about Kisner's remarks after Sunday's final round, and while he explained that he had not seen them beforehand, he reacted candidly. "I didn't see that. I don't know why me being in India would make Kis need to comment on that," McIlroy told The Mirror. "Two things can be true at the same time. People can get paid to come and play at a tournament, but at the same time, do it from a place of a genuine interest in trying to bring the sport to another country, a developing country, a country where the middle class in India is larger than the whole population of the United States. It's a huge market for golf." McIlroy explaining that two things can be true at once certainly applies here, and his admission that he was paid an appearance fee to play in the event is completely transparent. The same can be said for Kisner, who admitted that he'd show up and play in a tournament too if it came with a guaranteed payday.

After chemotherapy and radiation failed to stop the disease, the rocker began recording messages for his young children so they could remember the sound of his voice. "I was recording pieces of information for my kids so they could watch it, because the next step was to cut my tongue out if they had to," Rockett (born Richard Allan Ream) told Fox News Digital. "And I wanted them to know what I sounded like and my advice to them growing up, and I wanted them to hear it from me. I wanted them to understand what I was, what I thought I was or would become." HOW THE NELSON TWINS WENT FROM PACKING ARENAS TO BEING 'F---ING BROKE' DESPITE MAKING MILLIONS Rockett, whose weight dropped to 161 pounds during treatment, said the possibility of losing his tongue left him fearing he might not survive much longer. "I would've most likely had a feeding tube," he said. "I don't think I would've lived much longer. It would've added another year or two. Some people do make it. Some people get all of that done and live for a long time. But I think a lot of times, with the way it was going with me, I don't think I would've survived, quite honestly." Fox News may be compensated for or earn a commission if you buy through our referral links. Now 65, Rockett says he has been free of cancer for a decade. His memoir, "Ghost Notes: My Life in Poison," chronicles his rise to stardom during the decadent '80s and his grueling health battle. WATCH: POISON DRUMMER RIKKI ROCKETT RECALLS HEARTBREAKING CANCER BATTLE In 2015, Rockett said he and his family developed sore throats. They were all prescribed antibiotics, but while everyone else recovered, his symptoms persisted. Rockett returned to the doctor, who examined his nose and throat with a scope. During the examination, the doctor spotted something suspicious. "I don't know if it's cancer, but it's suspicious, and we got to do a biopsy," Rockett recalled his doctor telling him. "My life changed at that very second." According to the Head and Neck Cancer Alliance, Rockett was diagnosed with HPV-related throat cancer in 2015. The disease affected the base of his tongue. According to his memoir, Rockett had experienced a sore throat and a swollen lymph node for more than a month. It hurt every time he swallowed. After doctors diagnosed him with cancer, he received radiation and chemotherapy. "Before long, I couldn't eat solid food anymore," he wrote. "My weight dropped dramatically because all I could manage was soup, shakes and water. Eventually, I couldn't eat or drink anything at all." GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE Rockett wrote: "I've got throat cancer. At its worst, I struggle to swallow even a gulp of water. This morning, my son had to watch tears running down my cheeks as I tried to eat a spoonful of soup. He looked terrified." Rockett told Fox News Digital that he eventually "wound up in stage 4." For three months, he received radiation five days a week, along with chemotherapy weekly, but he said the treatment failed. Doctors then discussed removing his tongue, according to Rockett. Rockett was terrified. In his memoir, he wrote that he believed he had only a "40 or 50 percent chance of living." But he refused to give up. "Even with all the treatment, it still didn't work," he recalled. "So then I got on an experimental drug combination at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, and it worked incredibly well. It's one of those things where, if it works, it's amazing. If it doesn't, you kind of go, 'Wow, maybe I wasted my time.' So I had to roll the dice. And I did. And when I rolled it, thankfully, it came out in my favor." According to UC San Diego Health, Rockett participated in a clinical trial involving a combination of two drugs: pembrolizumab (Keytruda) and epacadostat. Rockett was declared free of throat cancer in July 2016. The treatment took a toll. At one point, Rockett's tongue swelled so much that he feared he might choke. Soon, however, a scan offered hope. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS "The crazy thing was that my first PET scan showed that 90 percent of the cancer was already gone," Rockett wrote. "And by the second PET scan, it was all gone. It was as if the angels had come down and blessed me. I mean, it was unbelievable." Rockett wrote that his doctor seemed just as surprised by the results but explained that treatment needed to continue to reduce the risk of the cancer returning. But Rockett's health challenges were far from over. "Some eight months into the process, nothing was coming up, but I was getting high white blood cell counts," Rockett wrote. "So, they got concerned about that, and to cut a long story short, I wound up with something called CML, chronic myeloid leukemia, and it’s a predisposition thing. It’s a translocation between BCR-ABL, the chromosomes. You’re prone to it if, like me, you have the Philadelphia chromosome. Of course, it absolutely freaked me out. I mean, I just went through one cancer, and now I was facing another one." Chronic myeloid leukemia is a type of blood cancer often associated with an acquired genetic abnormality known as the Philadelphia chromosome. PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE "The hematologist, however, took everything in stride, and when we met, she was super calm," he wrote. "She told me, ‘You picked the best leukemia you could. It’s very treatable, and sometimes curable.’ Dr. Jaimeson would be my doctor for the very long foreseeable future, and I was blessed to have her." "So, all that happened was that she put me on new medication, which I’m still on. It has some nasty side effects, but the best side effect is that CML has been 100 percent in remission! Zero detection for a number of years now! There must be a reason why I’m still here, I think to this day." Looking back, Rockett told Fox News Digital his medical team "actually saved my life." Rockett still lives with the lasting effects of his treatment. But a decade after his throat cancer battle, he's focused less on what the disease took from him and more on what he lived to see — his children growing up. "Sometimes my voice gets rough, or I get dry," he said. "I get very dry because my salivary glands got toasted with the radiation. But I’m cancer-free, and I’ve been cancer free for 10 years." Rockett has no plans to slow down. He's been keeping busy performing with his band, Rockett Mafia. "I’m not out of gas yet," he said with a smile. "I still got stuff to do. And I love playing because I want my kids to see me, and they have. They’ve been to some Poison concerts. I wanted them to see me, and they did. I got that wish." For Rockett, beating cancer meant getting the time he once feared he wouldn’t have. And he's not wasting a single second, he insisted. "A big part of it was fighting for my kids," he reflected. "There’s no question that was a big chunk of my fight." Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad4d59775342cf4db91fae5 Arizona man threatened with arrest for preaching at holiday festival files lawsuit te 2026-10-18T14:20:07.820Z Arizona man threatened with arrest for preaching at holiday festival files lawsuit An Arizona street evangelist is suing the city of Tucson and challenging an event policy barring religious speech after police officers threatened to arrest him for discussing Jesus at an annual holiday festival. David Hoffman has been evangelizing at public events for over a decade and views large public gatherings as crucial to his Christian ministry.  "What we do is we share the gospel with people that are most likely never going to go into a church, and we go to events and places where there's not already a Christian witness, and we have conversations," he told Fox News Digital. For nearly ten years, Hoffman regularly attended Tuscon's Winterhaven Festival of Lights, a free holiday event where thousands of visitors walk through a residential neighborhood to view light displays. But during the December 2025 festival, Hoffman said city police officers barred him from sharing his faith and threatened him with criminal trespassing charges under new event rules. GOP LAWMAKERS URGE SUPREME COURT TO STRENGTHEN FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTIONS FOR STREET PREACHERS "Upon entering the event, we were told that we can't have any kind of religious expression," Hoffman told Fox News Digital. "They said that you can be there to participate in looking at the lights. But the moment, you know, we tried to talk to somebody or give out a gospel tract, that would lead to a violation of what they were enforcing." According to a federal lawsuit filed on Hoffman’s behalf by First Liberty Institute, the city of Tucson adopted an event solicitation policy last year prohibiting "religious, political, or issue-based leafleting" with signs posted at entrances relaying these prohibitions and warning that violators could face removal and trespassing charges enforced by Tucson police. When Hoffman attempted to speak with attendees, officers approached Hoffman and said he could not be inside "doing the preaching." When Hoffman asked if his volume was an issue, an officer explained that "it's the sending of your message, which is one of the prohibited rules," according to the complaint.  The officer went on to tell Hoffman that asking someone if they would like to discuss Jesus amounted to "sermonizing," adding that "once you start sermonizing, that becomes a problem," according to the complaint. SUPREME COURT UNANIMOUSLY SLAPS DOWN BLUE STATE TARGETING PRO-LIFE GROUP "At one point, Hoffman is stopped by a couple of police," First Liberty legal counsel Garrett Bell told Fox News Digital. "And he says, 'Well, what if someone comes up to me and asks me, how can I be saved? Can I respond to them?' And the officers told him, 'No, if you want to have that conversation with them, you're going to have to step outside the perimeter of the event.'" According to the complaint, officers and an event organizer told Hoffman the speech restrictions were city policy established in response to past complaints. After repeated warnings, four uniformed Tucson police officers escorted Hoffman out of the festival under threat of arrest. Officers told him he could preach in a designated "free expression zone" outside the festival perimeter, according to the complaint. "When I saw it, it kind of looked like a cage because they had these barricades set up, and they said, 'You can be in that corner over there,'" Hoffman said. "And it felt kind of, just really, it felt funny because it's like, you know, putting the Christians over kind of in this specific area." CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE First Liberty alleges the barricaded zone was set up alongside a busy street which made engaging in conversations with people passing by impractical. The legal group says commercial food vendors, live performers, and 15-passenger "pedal pub" party bikes playing amplified music were permitted throughout the festival area. In December 2025, First Liberty sent a demand letter to Tucson on Hoffman's behalf, warning the city that its policy was unconstitutional, but the group said it received no response. First Liberty filed a complaint against the city this week, alleging the policy violates Hoffman's First Amendment rights to free speech and the free exercise of religion, the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause and the Arizona Constitution. The complaint asks for preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to allow Hoffman to share the gospel at this year's event, and a declaratory judgment that the policy is unconstitutional. TRUMP DOJ EXPANDS RELIGIOUS LIBERTY PROTECTIONS AFTER MAJOR SUPREME COURT RULINGS "This event is happening on city streets and city sidewalks, and in constitutional law, those areas, along with, say, a public park, offer the most constitutional protection of any location you can be at," Bell said. He also argued that the city's policy singles out religious viewpoints. "You can talk about the weather. You can talk about the Arizona Cardinals or the U of A Wildcats, but you can't talk about religion," he added. "Censoring a Christian message during a public Christmas event is malicious, unconstitutional, and absurd," Nate Kellum, senior counsel at First Liberty, said in a statement. "A public street festival is just that – a public space where citizens can visit, walk around, and converse with each other about different ideas. The government cannot ban only religious messages." The complaint names the city of Tucson and Tucson PD officers Matt Alexander and William Leonard, in their individual capacities, as defendants. The city of Tucson said it does not comment on pending litigation. The Tucson PD did not immediately return Fox News Digital's request for comment.

The discovery was made in the submerged royal harbor of Alexandria, Egypt, and announced this month by the European Institute for Underwater Archaeology. The ring — called a "perfect object" by an expert in the field — was found at the site of a royal palace on the submerged island of Antirhodos, part of Alexandria's ancient royal quarters linked to Cleopatra VII, Mark Antony and Julius Caesar. 7,000-YEAR-OLD BONES UNCOVERED AT CONSTRUCTION SITE IN STARTLING FIND The bronze ring depicts the Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, officials said.  The ring is the first known signet ring — a type of ring used to stamp seals — featuring the landmark. Built in the third century B.C., the lighthouse guided ships for centuries before earthquakes destroyed it over several centuries — with its final collapse occurring around the 14th century. The age of the ring is unclear, but it "features iconography similar to that found on some 2nd century A.D. coins," the Oct. 7 release said. DIVERS UNCOVER HUNDREDS OF ANCIENT RELICS NEAR SHIPWRECK UNTOUCHED FOR 2,100 YEARS Pictures released by officials show a small, weathered ring with a rough, gold-colored surface and a faint engraving of the ancient lighthouse. Franck Goddio, president of the European Institute for Underwater Archaeology and leader of the excavation team, emphasized the significance of where the ring was found. "The discovery of the ring-signet is even more important as it has been excavated in the legendary palace of the Island of Antirhodos, that once was a center of power," Goddio said in a press release. DIVERS UNCOVER ANCIENT TREASURES LINKED TO ROMAN GIANT WHO HELPED SHAPE AMERICAN HISTORY The underwater excavation is "really kind of painstaking work," Alexandra F. Morris, an ancient history lecturer at Queen's University Belfast, told Fox News Digital. "Everything has to be found, recorded and lifted by divers," she said. The palace, which Cleopatra may have once used, could have later served as administrative offices, possibly overseeing operations at the Lighthouse of Alexandria, Morris said.  CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER "This could be a representation of that," she said, referring to the ring's possible connection to the lighthouse's administration. While she cautioned that the age of the ring remains unknown, as it could date to either the Ptolemaic or Roman period, Morris said the artifact highlights the lighthouse's importance to the ancient city.

"It's basically showing that the lighthouse became the symbol of Alexandria, long after it was built." TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ Beyond its historical significance, Morris said the ring could also help make Alexandria's underwater history more accessible to the public. "I think this ring is really interesting because it provides us potentially with something [through] replicas or models that people can actually hold, as the city is so hard to access because it is underwater," said Morris, a museum professional. "It's kind of a perfect object for touch-based displays, including for blind and low-vision visitors or people interested in the site."

Street violence erupted across France on Saturday when peaceful marches of 500,000 to 800,000 people, according to reports, devolved into masked groups clashing with police, looting businesses and setting fire to private property and public buildings, including the historic city hall in Limoges. Reports on Sunday cited arrests climbing from 1,000 to 1,800, including 855 in the Paris region.

FRANCE EXPLODES AGAIN AS STUDENTS RIOT OVER EDUCATION That potentially affects the NFL because it is scheduled to play at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis just north of Paris next Sunday when the New Orleans Saints "host" the Pittsburgh Steelers in a regular season game. The league's position on the game last week was that the game in Paris is a go. "We look forward to welcoming fans to Paris later this month," the league said in a statement. ROGER GOODELL DETAILS NFL EXPANSION POSSIBILITIES AND A TIMETABLE FOR A FULL SEASON OF INTERNATIONAL GAMES But that was before things became violent. The NFL's chief spokesperson did not respond to an email from OutKick and Fox News Digital for clarification on the matter after the violence erupted. But a league source, who requested anonymity, told OutKick on Sunday that the league has been working "with local authorities and partners on all operational and security matters and if events warrant, a change in venue can be considered." The Saints and Steelers have previously shown the requisite amount of excitement about playing the league's inaugural France game. "Louisiana's relationship with France is centuries deep, and this game represents another meaningful step in strengthening those cultural and economic ties," Saints owner Gayle Benson said in a statement announcing the game.

I thought I remembered seeing Hailey's Halloween announcement earlier this month, but I wanted to confirm that it was indeed from this year after seeing her smashing golf balls on an Arizona course. Sometimes you get wrapped up in things and your focus turns toward other types of content. I wouldn’t go as far as saying that I doubted Hailey Ostrom's ability to multitask. That didn’t happen. I thought perhaps she could have shifted her focus, as it appears Paige has done. Now to be fair to Paige, she did hit the golf course recently in an interesting Willy Wonka Halloween costume. However, her annual 31 days of churning out Halloween costumes appears to have come to an end. Hailey, and yes, I do ignore the Boston Red Sox fandom because I can separate the art from the artist, kicked off her 31 days of Halloween with a classic Velma from Scooby-Doo themed costume. PAIGE SPIRANAC GOLFS AND TALKS ABOUT HOOKING UP IN COLLEGE, AVA HUNT ON GAME DAY & A BRAWL IN WVU'S BLUE LOT Last week was a rough week for the Top 25. This week was more of the same. While technically another rough week for the Top 25, the Top 10, had it particularly rough. Following in the footsteps of Texas last week, the new No. 1 Georgia was bitten by the apparent curse of the top spot. The Bulldogs were beaten at home by unranked Auburn 27-24. They weren’t the only team to lose for the first time this season. No. 2 Notre Dame lost to No. 8 BYU on the road. No. 5 Indiana was inches away from a potential win over No. 4 Ohio State at home, but ended up losing for the first time in almost two years. No. 6 Alabama lost for the second time this season. They couldn’t get the job done on the road against No. 14 Tennessee. Another team who added a second loss to their record was No. 7 Texas. That's two in a row for the Longhorns to unranked opponents as Florida went into Austin on Saturday and left with a 27-24 win. Back-to-back losses to unranked teams is a work of art to someone like me with a team that may not win another game all season. There were a couple of positives mixes in there for the Top 10, but who really wants to be ranked No. 1 right now after two straight losses to unranked opponents?

In addition to his decades-long career as an actor, Shatner is also an accomplished musician, who has released 11 studio albums encompassing a wide range of genres including spoken word, rock, progressive rock, Christmas and country releases. During an interview with Fox News Digital, Shatner, who recently partnered with over-the-counter hearing aid maker Audien Hearing for a new campaign, shared his reaction when his music label Cleopatra Records first approached him earlier this year about making a heavy metal album. WILLIAM SHATNER SAYS HE'S 'TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS' AT 95: 'THE LEAST OF ALL I WANT DO IS DIE' "I said, ‘What the f--- is heavy metal?’" the "Star Trek" icon recalled. "And that's the title of the album, ‘What the F is Heavy Metal,’" Shatner added. COUNTRY MUSIC SINGER SHANE SMITH PUTS HIS OWN SPIN ON JOHNNY CASH'S ICONIC 'HURT' COVER Shatner told Fox News Digital that he teamed up with his longtime creative collaborator and friend, author Robert Sharenow, for the project. The two previously worked together on five albums featuring autobiographical lyrics and spoken-word performances. "So we wrote six songs for the album," Shatner said. "And I laid down my track." WATCH: WILLIAM SHATNER, 95, ANSWERS ‘WHAT THE F--- IS HEAVY METAL?' WITH NEW ALBUM In addition to six original songs, Shatner said that "What the F is Heavy Metal" will feature covers with contributions from more than 50 musicians, "We've got one number in the album that's gonna be out in the wintertime called ‘What the F is Heavy Metal,’" Shatner said. "All of a sudden, 50, I'm told 50 heavy metal musicians all volunteer to be on this album." PAUL MCCARTNEY REVEALS HOW A 'HAPPY' TEEN HITCHHIKING TRIP WITH GEORGE HARRISON DELIVERED A SHOCK The musicians included Queen's Brian May, who performed a guitar solo for one of the album's tracks titled "Rage." Shatner explained that "Rage" features the famous line "Rage, rage against the dying of the light" from the 1951 poem "Do not go gentle into that good night," written by Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. While speaking with Fox News Digital, Shatner recalled that he was later invited to perform at Riot Fest, an annual three-day punk rock music festival held at Douglass Park in Chicago, Illinois. In a July social media post, the organizers of Riot Fest announced that Shatner would debut his heavy metal band The *uckers at the festival, noting that they had tried to book him for over a decade. ROD STEWART CONFIRMS FINAL TOUR AFTER HEART PROCEDURE AND HEALTH SCARES The "Boston Legal" alum said that his label tapped five musicians to form his new heavy metal band. The all-star rock and heavy metal lineup includes guitarists Marcus Nand and Britt Lightning, bassist Phil Soussan and drummer Fred Aching. "They put together a group of fabulous musicians," Shatner said. "We call ourselves The *uckers for, you know, ‘What the f--- is heavy metal.’'" BRET MICHAELS CANCELS REMAINING 2026 TOUR DATES HOURS AFTER 'COMEBACK' PERFORMANCE DUE TO HEALTH SCARE The band made its live debut in Chicago on Sept. 19 and performed at Riot Fest the following day. The *uckers played original songs including "Rage," "Sky" and "One Fear" alongside covers of Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train," Motörhead's "Ace of Spades," and Metallica's "Enter Sandman." "We went to Riot Fest … and was a huge success, huge," Shatner recalled. "They were cheering and the reviews and the people…so it proved to me the viability of ‘What the F is Heavy Metal.'" ‘A MAN WITHOUT LOVE’ SINGER ENGELBERT HUMPERDINCK CREDITS UNDERWATER WORKOUT FOR KEEPING HIM ‘ALIVE’ AT 90 After performing with The *uckers and making his heavy metal album, Shatner said he has an answer to his original question. "It is the beat of life," he said. "It is such an energetic way of doing music. It enlivens your life. It stirs you up. It makes you pay attention." WATCH: WILLIAM SHATNER SAYS HEAVY METAL ‘ENLIVENS’ HIS LIFE AS HE FRONTS BAND AT 95 Shatner explained that his approach to heavy metal extends beyond the music itself. For the album, he said he incorporated fresh takes on the lyrics of several classic songs, including Metallica’s "Enter Sandman," which he believes contains darker themes beneath its familiar melody. "I've reinterpreted even the cover songs," he said. Shatner said his version of "Enter Sandman" focuses on the sinister implications of the song’s lyrics rather than treating the Sandman as a harmless bedtime figure. "It's a total reinterpretation of the Sandman," he said. "It is amazing." While Shatner is embracing the volume of heavy metal, the project also connects to a more personal issue. The actor is partnering with Audien Hearing on a campaign about hearing health after experiencing tinnitus and hearing loss himself. Shatner recalled that his hearing challenges began decades ago on the set of "Star Trek." During the filming of an explosion scene featuring him alongside his co-star Leonard Nimoy, the stage doors were accidentally left closed, preventing the blast from dissipating properly. He told Fox News Digital that the two actors were taken to a doctor after their ears began ringing. Shatner said that he did not immediately realize that the noise had become permanent. The Canada native recalled that while walking on the beach one day, he noticed that the hiss of the retreating waves never completely disappeared. "I heard the hiss, but the hiss never went away," he said. "It was always hissing." Shatner said he eventually learned to live with the tinnitus through a process known as habituation. He also estimated that he has lost roughly 20% to 30% of his hearing and said hearing aids have helped him rediscover everyday sounds. "The dog claws on the floor, the creak of this rocking chair — all the panoply of sounds that go to make up the richness of the world around us, we’re using hearing," he said. Shatner's hearing challenges have not stopped him from playing heavy metal. However, he said the loud music can temporarily intensify the tinnitus, which he noticed after performing at Riot Fest. "Now I'm fitted with earphones, right? And the sound would have been blasting in anyway, but it's heavy metal sound," he said. "I'm blasting in on my tinnitus."

WATCH: WILLIAM SHATNER SAYS HE PERFORMED THROUGH ‘LOUD’ TINNITUS DURING HEAVY-METAL DEBUT AT 95 Despite the challenges that come with performing through tinnitus, Shatner said he is moving ahead with the album. He told Fox News Digital that the tracks have already been recorded, but he plans to listen to the completed music and determine whether he needs to make any changes to his performance.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad4c78675342cf4db91cdff The nine key races that will decide who controls the Senate, and where they stand te 2026-10-18T13:20:06.579Z The nine key races that will decide who controls the Senate, and where they stand Democrats have expanded their once-narrow path to reclaiming the Senate majority with just over two weeks until Election Day, but they'll need to win several competitive races to take control of the chamber. If Democrats ride a massive blue wave in the midterm elections, they could end up with 52 or even 53 seats in the next Senate. But if Republicans out-perform the polls, they could hold their majority, which currently stands at 53-47. Here's a look at the current battlefield and both parties' routes to securing a Senate majority in the midterms. The latest Power Rankings point to Democrats and Republicans each taking 47 seats in the midterms, leaving six races rated as true toss-ups. Additionally, three races are rated as leaners — one step shy of a toss-up. These nine showdowns will likely determine whether the Democrats make a net gain of four seats to win control of the Senate or if the GOP holds the majority. DEMS SEE NEW CHANCES TO FLIP SENATE SEATS BUT GOP'S MASSIVE CASH ADVANTAGE AN OBSTACLE "Nine races will determine control of the Senate, and on the polling alone, you could call any of them toss-ups," said Remy Numa, a Fox News contributor who steers the network's Power Rankings. 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 political climate fueled by persistent inflation Americans see at the grocery store, high gas prices tied to what polls show is an unpopular war with Iran and President Donald Trump's increasingly negative approval ratings. With Republicans controlling the seats in six of the nine competitive races in the Power Rankings, the GOP is playing more defense than the Democrats. The six toss-up states are Alaska, where Sen. Dan Sullivan is seeking re-election against Democratic challenger and former Rep. Mary Peltola; Iowa, where Rep. Ashley Hinson is trying to keep retiring Sen. Joni Ernst's seat in GOP hands against Democratic state Rep. Josh Turek; and Maine, where longtime Republican Sen. Susan Collins is running for re-election against former state Senate President Troy Jackson, the Democratic challenger. DEMOCRATS THINK A BLUE WAVE IS BUILDING - HERE ARE THREE FACTORS THAT COULD STOP IT Also on the list is Ohio, where appointed GOP Sen. Jon Husted is running to serve the final two years of the term won in 2022 by now-Vice President JD Vance. He's facing former longtime Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown. And in Texas, state Attorney General Ken Paxton is battling Democratic state Rep. James Talarico in the race to succeed longtime GOP Sen. John Cornyn, who was ousted by Paxton in a bitter Republican primary. Democrats are playing defense in Michigan, the sixth toss-up, where nominee Abdul El-Sayed is trying to keep party control of retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters' seat, as he faces former GOP Rep. Mike Rogers. SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER Democrats are also on defense in New Hampshire, where Rep. Chris Pappas is aiming to keep retiring Sen. Jeanne Shaheen's seat blue against former GOP Sen. John E. Sununu. The Power Rankings rate the race "Lean Democrat." It's a similar story in Minnesota, where Democratic Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan is trying to keep retiring Sen. Tina Smith's seat in party hands. But the Power Rankings this past week shifted the race in the blue-leaning state toward the GOP, from Likely Democrat to Lean Democrat, as Republican nominee Michele Tafoya appears to gain traction. DEMOCRACY ’26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB Meanwhile, the GOP is on defense in red-leaning Kansas, where Republican Sen. Roger Marshall faces a difficult re-election fight against Democratic challenger Adam Hamilton, a pastor. The Power Rankings rate the race Lean Republican. Numa, pointing to Kansas, Minnesota and New Hampshire, said that "the voter profiles and histories of those states are keeping them at 'Lean D' and 'Lean R' on the forecast, but this map has expanded, and with the exception of the North Star State, mostly into red territory." Meanwhile, two states are now pretty much off the table for the GOP. Georgia was a top Republican target when the 2026 cycle began, but Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff holds a solid lead over GOP challenger Rep. Mike Collins in the southeastern battleground. Republican outside groups have cut their spending significantly in Georgia, and the Fox News Power Rankings rate the race as Likely Democrat. In neighboring North Carolina, Republicans appear to have conceded the seat held by retiring GOP Sen. Thom Tillis. Republican groups have pulled the plug on spending on behalf of GOP nominee Mike Whatley, who trails former Gov. Roy Cooper, the Democratic nominee, in polling. The Fox News Power Rankings also rate this race as Likely Democrat. The Democrats win the majority if they run the table by holding Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota and New Hampshire, and flip North Carolina as well as at least three of the five GOP-controlled toss-up states. "Senate Democrats are in the strongest position yet to win the majority – with multiple paths to flip GOP-held seats and growing momentum across the map," Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee chair, touted in a recent statement. Conversely, Republicans would keep control of the chamber by holding at least three of the toss-ups where they're playing defense. A 50-50 Senate would remain in GOP hands, thanks to the tie-breaking vote of Vice President JD Vance. Gillibrand's counterpart, National Republican Senatorial Committee Chair Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, remains optimistic. "I think it's going very well for us," Scott said Thursday in an interview on Fox News "America Reports." "The momentum, frankly, is with us, not against us." The GOP majority could be bolstered if the party goes on offense. While chances of Sununu flipping New Hampshire appear to be receding, Republicans are optimistic Rogers can top El-Sayed in Michigan. Trump is expected to hold a rally with Rogers in the Great Lakes battleground later this month. Meanwhile, Scott has his eyes on a flip in Minnesota. "Michele Tafoya is running a very independent campaign, lots of traction," he told Fox News. "I think we close that gap. And if there's an October surprise, Minnesota goes Republican." Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad4c78575342cf4db91cdf6 The one lesson every parent should teach their child after the Bend school shooting te 2026-10-18T13:20:05.601Z The one lesson every parent should teach their child after the Bend school shooting Three children and a teacher were killed on Oct. 15 at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, just 20 minutes from our home in central Oregon. Four precious lives were stolen, leaving families facing a grief no parent, spouse, or loved one should ever have to endure. Children who should be coming home to their families will never walk through those doors again. A teacher who devoted a life to educating and caring for children is gone. Among the critically injured is 7-year-old Saylor, a child who had previously been honored in Bend as a "Sparrow" through a program that supports children facing serious medical challenges. Already familiar with adversity, she is now fighting for her life after being shot in the face. Our hearts break for Saylor and for all the other victims of this devastating violence. Our community and our nation are in mourning. ARMED BYSTANDER FATALLY SHOOTS SUSPECTED TEEN GUNMAN AFTER 3 CHILDREN, 1 ADULT KILLED AT OREGON SCHOOL: FEDS As an anti-bullying specialist and expert witness, I've witnessed more than 20,000 students around the world publicly apologize for bullying and related behavior. Some of these apologies have helped prevent students from harming themselves or others. We don't know the motives of the 16-year-old shooter. We don't know whether he was bullied at Silver Rail or any other school. But this tragedy raises questions about a destructive pattern that requires entire communities—not just teachers and schools—to confront bullying. After all, bullying is a cultural problem, not merely a "school problem." The Secret Service's report, "Protecting America's Schools," examined 41 targeted school attacks. Among the 35 attackers whose backgrounds were analyzed—all male—80% had experienced bullying. For 57%, that bullying was persistent. There is no evidence at this point that bullying played any role in the Silver Rail attack. But research into past targeted school attacks shows why bullying remains one of the behaviors communities should take seriously. Each time our nation reels from another school shooting, a dangerous misunderstanding is often treated as fact: The shooter must be severely mentally ill. Yet most people with severe mental illness are not violent. Equating psychiatric diagnoses with dangerousness stigmatizes people who need care and distracts from the specific behaviors that should concern us. HERO DAD WHO TOOK DOWN OREGON SCHOOL SHOOTER IDENTIFIED ALONG WITH TEACHER, STUDENT BOTH KILLED IN ATTACK Having worked with countless targets of bullying for more than 25 years, I've witnessed how persistent abuse can leave children emotionally inflamed. Some turn their pain inward, while others express it outwardly through anger, aggression and sometimes violence. Too many are expected to endure a level of persistent abuse that no adult would tolerate. Telling a child to ignore cruelty is not intervention. Admonishing a child to "turn the other cheek" in the face of relentless abuse is one of the most tortured applications of Scripture. Requiring an apology without checking whether the abuse has stopped is not accountability. Moving the targeted child to another classroom or school—an all-too-common practice—while leaving the aggressor unchecked only deepens the injustice and resentment. POLICE DISPTACH AUDIO RELEASED AFTER OREGON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SHOOTING Students need trustworthy adults and clear reporting options, including anonymous reporting. They also need protection against retaliation. When reporting makes life worse, children learn to remain silent precisely when adults most need information. What most people don't understand is that bystanders possess the greatest potential power in the theater of bullying. Bullies often seek an audience, and that audience can either reward their cruelty through laughter, encouragement, or silence—or help stop it through courageous action. When witnesses intervene safely, they can shift the balance of power in favor of the targeted child. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION To help break the connection between persistent bullying and the risk of school violence, we need a national commitment that begins at the dinner table. We must expand our family values to include a simple pledge: When our children witness bullying, they will take at least one of three actions: 1. Comfort the targeted child afterward. 2. Report—not tattle—what they saw or heard. 3. Intervene directly, when safe, using assertive but nonviolent words. Have this conversation with your family today. Because right now, while adults cry, mourn, and thank God their own children are safe, thousands of other children are carrying emotionally inflamed hearts. They, too, are precious to God. Compassionate bystander intervention can help ease their suffering, reminding them that the cruelty they endure is undeserved, that they are not defined by it, and that they are loved. We won't stop every school shooting. But we can stop complacency. That begins when we teach our children that witnessing bullying carries a responsibility to act safely and compassionately.  Bullying does not have to be an ordinary part of growing up. And standing against it should become an ordinary part of raising our children. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad4c2d875342cf4db91c74c Former NFL QB Sean Salisbury wants officials to face postgame questions just like players and coaches te 2026-10-18T13:00:08.360Z Former NFL QB Sean Salisbury wants officials to face postgame questions just like players and coaches NFL players and coaches have to answer questions after games, usually while they're still angry about whatever went wrong. Former NFL quarterback Sean Salisbury wants officials getting that same treatment when they're the ones who made the mistake. REDZONE HOST SCOTT HANSON DEFENDS NFL OFFICIATING, CALLS LEAGUE 'BEST OFFICIATED' IN AMERICA "I want to know what they saw on the field immediately after the game, when their emotions were up, just like the players and coaches," Salisbury told OutKick. We talked about missed calls, but also about the recent confrontations between officials and players. Watching some of those exchanges, I wondered why the people responsible for keeping things under control were getting so worked up themselves. "It's like officials are instigating certain situations," Salisbury said. Salisbury doesn't want to wait for somebody at the league office to explain a missed call the next day. He wants to hear from the person who made the decision, while the game is still fresh. The NFL has what's called a pool interview process where reporters covering a game can request an explanation of a particular call. A designated pool reporter asks the questions, and a transcript of the answers is distributed to the rest of the media. That's where some of the referee explanations you read in game stories come from. But I'd like to see officials take questions on camera after games as routinely as players and coaches do. If a quarterback has to talk about why he threw a crucial fourth-quarter interception, or a coach has to face a grilling about a questionable fourth-down decision, then a referee can explain why he missed an obvious call. Salisbury repeatedly expressed respect for the job officials do. But he's frustrated by mistakes he believes should be obvious without somebody needing to slow down a replay and draw circles on the screen. "You can't miss the ones that the naked eye can see," he said. "You just can't. That's their gig." He also wondered whether replay has made some officials more hesitant to make a call themselves. Salisbury described it as a "security blanket," suggesting that knowing there's another opportunity to get something right can affect the initial decision. Salisbury pointed to the NFL’s recent suspensions of two officials as an example of the league holding them accountable. On Oct. 5, it suspended line judge Jeff Seeman for two games and referee Adrian Hill for one following separate Week 4 confrontations with players. SUPER BOWL CHAMPION BRUCE ARIANS RIPS 'OUT OF CONTROL' NFL REFS AFTER TWO SUSPENSIONS Seeman was caught on video appearing to yell "F–k you" at Cardinals tight end Trey McBride during Arizona's game against the Giants. Hill yelled at Vikings linebacker Eric Wilson after Wilson was accidentally knocked into him during Minnesota's game against Miami. Wilson later said Hill accepted his apology and explanation. During our conversation, Salisbury said officials are held to a higher standard. I told him I'd describe it a little differently. Players should be held to a high standard, too. They're on television in front of millions of people and they make a lot of money to play football. But an official has a different responsibility when an argument starts, because he's supposed to be the person who can settle it. I umpire high school baseball during the spring, and I've had plenty of parents chirp at me about calls. Do people say things that get under your skin? Of course. I don't get to start cursing at them because I've decided I've heard enough. Dealing with that frustration is part of the job I agreed to do. That's why I don't find "officials are human" to be much of an explanation for these confrontations. Sure, they're human. So am I. Being annoyed doesn't relieve you of the responsibility to keep your own emotions out of the game. Salisbury agreed with that distinction. "Your job is not there to pour gasoline," he said. He said the best officials know how to settle a confrontation before it gets worse. Sometimes that means calming a player down, and sometimes it means being firm. Either way, the official has to keep the game moving without turning a disagreement into something personal. And getting into it with a player can follow an official long after that particular argument ends. Salisbury pointed out that the next disputed call might then look personal to the team that was just arguing with him. "You start to think, well, if you miss a call later on against the team, well, he had it in for us," he said. Salisbury also brought up gambling and the conspiracy theories that come with disputed calls. Fans who think an official just cost them a winning bet are already going to question what happened. Watching that official get into a shouting match with a player gives them something else to point to. I'd much rather hear the official explain what he saw than spend the next day watching people guess at his motives. Put him on camera after the game, while the coach is still answering questions about the loss. And if the official got it wrong, he can say that, too. "We hold players accountable. I think officials need to be held accountable," Salisbury said.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad4be2575342cf4db91c6b1 Human vs. ChatGPT NFL Week 6 betting picks: AI goes all-in on totals after another weekly win te 2026-10-18T12:40:05.653Z Human vs. ChatGPT NFL Week 6 betting picks: AI goes all-in on totals after another weekly win OK, this is getting annoying. ChatGPT beat me in NFL betting for the second straight week, going 3-2 while I finished 2-3. The robot added 0.94 units to its total, while I gave back 1.26. It also won our only head-to-head matchup, backing San Francisco while I took Seattle. That's three straight losses for me in games where we picked opposite sides. NFL WEEK 5 SUNDAY TAKEAWAYS: RODGERS DEFIES FATHER TIME, COEN GETS BAILED OUT, 49ERS SURVIVE UGLY PERFORMANCE Apparently, telling the robot I was proud of it last week was a mistake. Now it has confidence. Before GPT gets too excited, though, I'm still the only one making money this season. I'm sitting at 13-11-1 and +1.26 units, while the machine is 11-14 and down 3.87 units. Yes, my lead is shrinking. No, I don't particularly want to talk about that. What I would like to talk about is the Eagles covering as my latest "plug your nose and hit place bet" pick. Apparently, the bets I hate making are the ones I should be making more often (4-0 this year). There's probably a lesson in there somewhere, but knowing me, I'll ignore it. Anyway, we've both got five more picks for Week 6. Let's see if I can give humanity something to celebrate again. Both of us get five selections from the same odds board, with a maximum price of -120. 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. Odds were captured Thursday at 8 p.m. ET. Before we get to the Week 6 picks, let’s review last week. The Eagles coasted to an easy cover in a game where they never trailed by more than 7 and would have won the game outright if not for Nick Sirianni's terrible late-game decision-making. Basically, my Sunday peaked before the early-afternoon games started and never really got better. I was way wrong about the Saints offense, as Tyler Shough threw for 96 yards in the loss. And I was even more wrong about the Patriots, who matched the entire 45-point total on their own. I stand by the Seahawks pick, and I’m still mad about Mike Macdonald calling an outside zone run from Seattle’s own 4-yard line with 18 seconds left in the first half. George Holani fumbled, and San Francisco recovered in the end zone. GPT nailed Thursday Night Football as the nine-point underdog Bucs went into Dallas and upset the Cowboys. But it whiffed badly on the Raiders, who lost by 28. Yes, it got me on the 49ers-Seahawks bet, and I'm still mad about that fumble recovery in the end zone to close the first half. Not to keep tooting GPT's horn, but since its abysmal 2-8 start (including 0-5 in Week 1), the robot is now 9-6 over the past three weeks. DAN: 13-11-1, +1.26 units GPT: 11-14, -3.87 units Chicago Bears at Atlanta Falcons, Sunday at 1 p.m. ET Dan’s analysis: I just think this total is too high. Caleb Williams is back, but I think he's going to be cautious coming off his hamstring injury and not use his legs as much. I also think the Bears staff wants to keep him healthy by establishing the run early and often. The Falcons have been putting up points since Michael Penix Jr. returned from injury, but I think their offense is due for a step back. I can see both teams running the ball a ton and keeping the clock moving, so I'll take the under. GPT’s analysis: The high total and both teams’ rushing production give your under a credible foundation. Chicago has also converted just 42.9% of its red-zone trips into touchdowns, making an efficient shootout less dependable. My concern is the defensive personnel: Chicago is missing Montez Sweat, Dayo Odeyingbo and T.J. Edwards, while Atlanta’s cornerback injuries give the Bears a favorable passing matchup. Those absences create scoring opportunities on both sides. I see the under argument, but the competing injury effects kept this outside my five. Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs, Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET Dan’s analysis: This is the official "Dan Z.’s Plug Your Nose and Hit 'Place Bet' Bet of the Week" (that's trademarked and don't you dare try to steal it from me). I just can't quit the Chargers. I refuse to believe that a team led by Justin Herbert is completely incapable of scoring points. Also, the Chiefs are 4-0 and a team the public generally likes to bet. So, I'll fade the likely public money and back the Chargers (again), even though it's going to feel terrible hitting that "place bet" button. GPT’s analysis: Getting more than a touchdown is the strongest argument for Los Angeles, especially with a defense performing better than its 0-5 record suggests. Kansas City is also missing Rashee Rice and Josh Simmons. My concern is the Chargers’ depleted offensive line and turnover problems against a rested Chiefs team. Stalled possessions and short fields could help Kansas City build separation without consistently beating that defense. I prefer under 41.5, but your +7.5 still cashes in a 24–17 Chiefs victory. The hook makes this considerably more appealing than +7. Buffalo Bills at Las Vegas Raiders, Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET Dan’s analysis: I’m not sure if I can have two "plug your nose" picks in one week, but this is another one that could easily qualify (I mean I make the rules so I can whatever I want, but I digress). Basically, I've decided I'm just fading the best teams in the NFL this week (this theme isn't done). The Raiders came out firing at 3-0 before suffering a heartbreaking loss against the Chiefs in Week 4 and then getting boatraced by the Patriots in Week 5. But this is more about the Bills. Buffalo is coming off a thrilling overtime win over the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football. It's tough to recover on a short week after an overtime game. Plus, the Bills are playing back-to-back games out west in the Pacific Time Zone. I think Las Vegas can keep this close enough to cover. GPT’s analysis: Buffalo’s vulnerable pass defense gives Kirk Cousins and Brock Bowers a route to keeping Las Vegas competitive. The Bills are also coming off a Monday night overtime game, strengthening the home underdog’s case. My hesitation is Las Vegas’ defense, which allows 140.6 rushing yards per game and faces Josh Allen and James Cook. Buffalo could score efficiently without needing its questionable receivers at full strength. I prefer over 53.5, which can cash whether the Raiders keep this close or Buffalo creates separation. Dallas Cowboys at Green Bay Packers, Sunday Night Football Dan’s analysis: In all honesty, this is all about fading public perception. Dallas is coming off an ugly Thursday Night Football loss to a previously winless Tampa Bay team starting rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels. On the other side, the Packers smashed a shorthanded Chicago Bears team. Basically, everyone thinks the Cowboys are bad and the Packers are good. The answer lies somewhere in the middle, so I'll take the plus money with Dallas because I think they're going to win this game. GPT’s analysis: Dallas’ productive offense and three extra rest days offer the best case for your pick. Green Bay has also lost defensive tackles Javon Hargrave and Jonathan Ford to injured reserve, creating an opportunity for the Cowboys’ running game. My concern is Dallas’ defense, which ranks last in EPA allowed per play. Jordan Love and Green Bay’s receivers have a favorable matchup at home. The Cowboys can win this, but their defensive problems make the outright victory difficult to trust. I lean Green Bay -1, although neither side made my five. Washington Commanders at San Francisco 49ers, Monday Night Football Dan’s analysis: I told you I was fading the best teams in the NFL this week, and this one certainly qualifies. Yes, San Francisco is coming off a big win over Seattle, but it was not the team's best performance. The 49ers turned the ball over three times and committed 8 penalties for 70 yards. They really only won because the Seahawks somehow managed to play worse (including one of the most puzzling coaching decisions of the year by Mike Macdonald). Washington is coming off a brutal tie against the Giants (a game that somehow had even worse coaching) and, yes, the overtime hurts. But the Commanders have an extra day to recover, which helps. I'm a big Jayden Daniels believer and I think the team is going to be motivated by last week's debacle. Motivated enough to keep it within a touchdown, at least. SEAN MCVAY IS 'SICK' ABOUT HIS OVERTIME CALL AS ANOTHER SUPER BOWL COACH PUBLICLY REGRETS END OF GAME DECISION GPT’s analysis: Getting 7.5 gives Washington valuable protection against a seven-point loss. Jayden Daniels’ mobility provides a way to sustain drives, and San Francisco is without Deebo Samuel while Mike Evans and Christian Kirk remain questionable. My concern is Washington’s defense, which has allowed 95 second-half points through five games. Brock Purdy’s efficient offense is positioned to exploit that weakness as the game progresses. The hook helps, but Washington’s defensive inconsistency and the absence of leading rusher Jacory Croskey-Merritt kept this outside my five. 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 Thursday at 8 p.m. ET and gave it the following prompt: "Pick your five best bets for Week 6 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." After nearly 10 minutes of thinking, here’s what it came up with: Carolina Panthers at Philadelphia Eagles, Sunday at 1 p.m. ET GPT’s analysis: Carolina averages 30.3 points per game, while Tanner McKee gets DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks available against a Panthers defense missing both starting cornerbacks. Philadelphia’s offensive-line injuries and Saquon Barkley’s absence are the biggest concerns, but 39 doesn’t require a shootout. Carolina’s productive passing game can supply much of the scoring, and McKee has enough receiving help to contribute. I prefer the over to laying three with the Panthers because it can cash regardless of which team wins. GPT’s projected score: Panthers 24, Eagles 17 Dan’s analysis: Not gonna lie, I kind of love this pick. It's like GPT is taking a page out of my playbook: fade the obvious bets. I have to think the public is going to actually like the UNDER because of the Eagles losing Jalen Hurts, but the team's offense is actually returning several key players. Tanner McKee is capable enough to lead the Eagles to at least 20 points and if he does, I think this game probably does go OVER. Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts, Sunday at 1 p.m. ET GPT’s analysis: Tennessee has managed just 58 points in five games, and both Cam Ward and Daniel Jones average 5.8 yards per attempt. The Titans also allow only 3.54 yards per rush, giving them a way to limit Jonathan Taylor and force Indianapolis to rely on its struggling passing game. Tyler Warren’s questionable status adds receiving uncertainty. Indianapolis’ poor defense is the biggest concern, but 44.5 leaves room for Tennessee to improve without producing a high-scoring game. I prefer the under to trusting either offense against the spread. GPT’s projected score: Colts 24, Titans 16 Dan’s analysis: I don't have a lot to say here. The Titans offense has been abysmal and the Colts aren't lighting up the scoreboard. Plus, divisional games tend to be lower-scoring and more tightly contested. So, I guess I kinda like this bet? New York Jets at New England Patriots, Sunday at 1 p.m. ET GPT’s analysis: New York averages 18.6 points and will be without Breece Hall, Adonai Mitchell and Dylan Parham, leaving an already limited offense with fewer options. Christian Gonzalez’s return helps New England contain Garrett Wilson, while the Jets’ pass rush presents a challenge for Drake Maye. A.J. Brown’s return and Maye’s effectiveness against blitzes are the strongest opposing arguments. Still, 43.5 offers room for a Patriots victory without another offensive outburst. I prefer the total to choosing which team covers the seven-point spread. GPT’s projected score: Patriots 23, Jets 17 Dan’s analysis: I mean, following my logic from the previous GPT under, I guess I kinda like this one too? The Patriots put up a ton of points the past two weeks, but their offense couldn't do anything in Weeks 1-3. The Jets are... the Jets. They haven't scored more than 24 points in a game this season and the Patriots defense is pretty good. Buffalo Bills at Las Vegas Raiders, Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET GPT’s analysis: Buffalo averages 32.8 points and faces a Las Vegas defense allowing 140.6 rushing yards per game, giving Josh Allen and James Cook a favorable matchup. The Raiders have their own scoring route through Kirk Cousins and Brock Bowers against Buffalo’s vulnerable pass defense. Buffalo’s questionable receivers and short turnaround after Monday’s overtime game are concerns. However, both defenses allow more than 25 points per game, and the indoor venue removes weather disruption. I prefer the over to needing Buffalo to create separation. GPT’s projected score: Bills 31, Raiders 27 Dan’s analysis: This total is way too high for me to back the over. Not loving this pick, GPT. Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs, Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET GPT’s analysis: Los Angeles averages 16.8 points and has a depleted offensive line, making consistent touchdown drives difficult to expect. The Chargers’ defense has played considerably better, giving them a way to limit Kansas City’s scoring. The Chiefs will also be without Rashee Rice and left tackle Josh Simmons. Kansas City’s explosive running game and the Chargers’ turnover problems are the main risks. Still, 41.5 allows a 24–17 game to cash. The offensive limitations and potential defensive resistance make this my fifth selection. GPT’s projected score: Chiefs 24, Chargers 13 Dan’s analysis: I like this because if this game goes under the total, it makes it more likely that the Chargers will cover the 7½-point spread. I also tend to think this is going to be a lower-scoring game, so I don't hate GPT's play here. But it's pretty crazy that GPT is going all-in on totals this week. The robot has been OK on totals this season (4-3), so maybe this is a smart move. I guess we'll see. OK, that's it for Week 6! Check back next week to see whether GPT can beat me in three straight weeks or if the human is due to remind AI that our brains are still superior. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad4b72075342cf4db91c613 College football chaos: Historic upsets, Arch Manning's fiasco, clock controversy and CFP ramifications arise te 2026-10-18T12:10:08.772Z College football chaos: Historic upsets, Arch Manning's fiasco, clock controversy and CFP ramifications arise BLOOMINGTON - I guess we should have seen the chaos in college football coming on Saturday after Indiana fans had thought the Hoosiers were about to steal a win against Ohio State in the final minute of a chaotic fourth quarter. But, did we expect to see this type of madness around a sport that essentially agreed to expand the CFP to 24-teams before the weekend got underway? Absolutely not. THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF IS SACRIFICING ITS SOUL TO BE AN ATM FOR CONFERENCES WITH EXPANSION TO 24 TEAMS Maybe it's fair to say that we have zero clue which teams are actually elite this year, coming off Indiana's perfect season in 2025. Or, maybe the actual answer to what occurred on Saturday across the SEC and other conferences is that parity has finally set in to a sport that has seen multiple teams spend over $35 million to piece On Saturday, we witnessed the No. 1, No. 2, No. 5, No. 6, No. 7, No. 13, No. 16 and No. 18 ranked teams in the AP Top-25 poll go down, with five of the top eight teams losing on the same day for the first time since 1989. There are also no more unbeaten teams within the SEC, and only one in the Big Ten (UCLA), while the ACC also has just one. The Big 12 currently sits with three unbeaten teams, which Utah capped-off early Sunday morning in its win over Colorado. In what might have been the game of the day, it was BYU and Notre Dame going to war in Provo to cap off what was a monumental day in the sport, with the Cougars coming out on top in the 28-24 upset. A Top-10 showdown turned into sixty-minute battle that came down to the final play of the game as CJ Carr's pass was deflected in the end zone, leading to thousands of fans rushing the field in what was a cinematic ending to this non-conference matchup. But, it turns out that the college football world would be talking about a game-clock, once again. COLLEGE FOOTBALL FACES ANOTHER CLOCK CONTROVERSY AFTER BYU UPSETS NO.2 NOTRE DAME There was plenty of controversy surrounding the final seconds, given the fact there might have actually been one second remaining on the game clock, while there also not a flag thrown for pass interference that sent social media into a frenzy. Early Sunday morning, the Big 12 released a statement saying that there should have been one second put on the clock, which would have led to Notre Dame being allowed to run one final play from the BYU 8-yard line. "Following the Big 12’s review of the final play of Saturday’s Notre Dame-BYU game, it was determined that time remained on the clock when the ball hit the ground and the play was incorrectly cleared by the replay officiating crew. The Conference will conduct a complete review of its end-of-game officiating process in advance of next week's games." This came just hours after No. 1 Georgia was upset at home by the Auburn Tigers, which had already set the tone for what was to come throughout this wild day. And, the way in which No. 3 Miami defeated Florida State will probably haunt Seminole fans for at least the rest of this season. Yes, there was a wild ending that included FSU completing a Hail-Mary attempt during the second overtime that would've given them an opportunity to tie the game on the ensuing conversion attempt. Unfortunately for Mike Norvell, a holding call materialized, erasing the touchdown pass, forcing the Seminoles to try again. FLORIDA STATE FALLS AGAIN AS MIAMI SURVIVES OVERTIME SCARE TO REMAIN UNBEATEN IN WILD ENDING Alabama, Georgia and Texas had not lost on the same weekend since 1996. Think about that stat for a second, or the fact that the Bulldogs had won 53-straight games against unranked opponents, or that Auburn was the first team not to be ranked that upset a No. 1 squad on the road since 2007. TENNESSEE DOMINATES AS ALABAMA SUFFERS FIRST BACK-TO-BACK REGULAR-SEASON LOSSES IN NEARLY TWO DECADES For all of the chatter that the regular season no longer has the same feeling because of the college football playoff, well that conversation can wait until the CFP expands to 24-teams next season. If you had been paying attention to what was taking place in Austin, you would have seen that this group of Longhorns were an average SEC team that has a very staunch defense. The non-stop discussion around Arch Manning has grown stale. His head coach, Steve Sarkisian, for some reason loves to act as though if he should be praised for the job he had done leading up to the Florida loss on Saturday afternoon. Yes, if you take the last name off his uniform, Manning might be sitting on the bench if he was playing for another school without the legendary last name. And let me be clear, it's ok to call Arch an average quarterback. STEVE SARKISIAN’S ‘JOE SMITH’ ARGUMENT FOR ARCH MANNING IS ABSOLUTE NONSENSE FOR AN AVERAGE QB Sure, a nice chunk of the blame should also go towards the guy who is calling plays on offense: Steve Sarkisian. Texas would have lost to Ohio State if the Buckeyes did not implode in the fourth quarter, or missed a field goal late in the game. The Longhorns would have lost to Tennessee if the Josh Heupel had a quarterback that could have completed a 20-yard route across the middle. OHIO STATE SHATTERS INDIANA'S 22-GAME WINNING STREAK WITH WILD ENDING IN BLOOMINGTON, BUT BUCKEYES LOSE QB JULIAN SAYIN IN THE PROCESS And now, the Longhorns have lost two-straight games against teams they were 'supposed' to beat, with their starting quarterback being a major factor in those losses. Whether it's erratic interceptions or fumbles, or overthrowing receivers, things are not clicking for this Texas offense. COLLEGE FOOTBALL’S MEGA ROSTERS AREN’T DELIVERING A RETURN ON INVESTMENT AS LSU, TEXAS A&M AND OREGON PROVE Now? Steve Sarkisian is just one-loss away from having his words of making it past the CFP semifinals blow up in his face. Maybe he will actually open the quarterback competition up this week, or we can continue having these conversations about his inept offense. Well, that was fun while it lasted at No. 1 for Georgia Over in Athens, the Georgia Bulldogs obviously didn’t get the memo that the SEC is just full of itself this season, and any one of their teams can catch a loss on any given Saturday. How else are we to describe what the Tigers did for the first time since 2007, in being an unranked team to go on the road and beat the No.1 team in the country? UNRANKED AUBURN UPSETS TOP-RANKED GEORGIA WITH WALK-OFF FIELD GOAL, MARKING WILD FEAT NOT SEEN IN 36 YEARS Two interceptions and one lost fumble for starting quarterback Gunner Stockton was the perfect recipe for Auburn to stroll into Athens and shock the top-ranked team in the country. Tied 24-24 with :58 seconds remaining in the game, Auburn drove 40-yards thanks in-part to a bad penalty on Georgia, to have Alex McPherson drill a 34-yard field goal to send the Tigers home with the shocking win. What does this mean for the Bulldogs? I still think they are the best team in the SEC, but obviously that doesn’t mean much at the moment. Tennessee lights them up again in Knoxville after beating Alabama Just when I thought Kalen DeBoer had this team in the right frame of mind, the Crimson Tide strolled a whooping on Saturday afternoon against the Vols. George MacIntyre made his second ever start as the Tennessee quarterback, throwing for 197 yards and 1 interception. But, if you had been paying attention to the Vols, it wasn’t hard to notice that this defensive group is playing out of their minds under defensive coordinator Jim Knowles. Having laid that part out, this win for the Vols came down to them pushing Alabama around for an entire afternoon, led by running back DeSean Bishop and his 159 yards with two touchdowns. The scary part is that if Heupel can get just a bit more out of his quarterback, this team could be even more dangerous over the second half of the season. For Alabama, the supposed wake-up call for the program against Georgia last weekend in the heavyweight fight that resulted in a loss led to another rough night at the office. Quarterback Keelon Russell was brought back down to reality with his two interceptions, and if they don't figure it out pretty quickly, they will be eliminated from any CFP conversation over the next few weeks. As for the rest of this conference... I can honestly say I did not have Ole Miss holding No. 13 Missouri to just three points on my bingo card for the weekend, but it go ugly in Oxford, with the Rebels now preparing for a trip to offensively-rudderless Texas next weekend. LSU took care of a Mississippi State team playing without starting quarterback Kamario Taylor and starting running back Fluff Bothwell, giving Tiger fans something else to think about for at least one night after the shocking loss to Kentucky two weeks ago. No, this does not mean Lane Kiffin has things figured out in Baton Rouge, with a trip to Auburn coming next week. What we witnessed on Saturday across the country will be hard to replicate over the next two months, but more importantly over the next five years. Thanks to the money-driven decisions and pariticpaption trophy mindset, the college football playoff will expand to 24-teams next season, which in the minds of most is twelve more than necessary in this current era of the sport. It's obvious that college football is thriving, and the fans are reaping the benefits of parity starting to become more of a factor within the NIL-Revenue Sharing era that has encompassed the sport. Will the optics around the college football regular season change in the future with the additional teams? Yes. But, can Saturday's like the one we just witnessed still hold the same type of meaning moving forward is the bigger question on the minds of many around the country. That's what conference commissioners are banking on. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad4b71f75342cf4db91c60a Forget New York and Chicago: An unlikely American city is becoming a pizza lover's paradise te 2026-10-18T12:10:07.940Z Forget New York and Chicago: An unlikely American city is becoming a pizza lover's paradise New York City and Chicago may be the American cities best known for their pizza, but another city — in Connecticut of all places — has carved out its own slice of the pie. In New Haven, pizza fans can now bike between famous pizzerias, sleep in a pizza-themed hotel suite and even visit a museum exhibit devoted to the city's signature food. Just in time for National Pizza Month, historian and self-described "pizza guru" Colin Caplan has launched a new pizza crawl aboard the Elm City Party Bike, a 15-passenger pedal-powered trolley. AMERICA' S BEST PIZZERIAS CROWNED IN NEW RANKINGS AS PIZZA EXPERT SHARES SKEPTICISM The bike has operated in the city for the past nine years but, for the first time, is being used specifically for pizza tours.  Guests can choose their own pizzerias or take a guided tour with Caplan — who is also a professional tour guide, author, architect and founder of Taste New Haven — sampling similar pies from several restaurants and comparing them. "We're going to try cheese pizza from three or four different places, and then we'll rate it at the end, and you can decide what's better," Caplan told Fox News Digital. "It's a great way to team build, to have the pizza together, to be outside, to frolic and have some fun." AMERICA'S MOST AND LEAST EXPENSIVE PLACES TO ORDER PIZZA REVEALED IN NEW STUDY But the rolling pizza party is just one example of how deeply the dish has become woven into New Haven's identity. The Omni New Haven Hotel at Yale even offers a Pizza Suite decorated with the city's signature food, along with gift cards to famed New Haven pizzerias Sally's Apizza and Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana — two of the spots that make up the so-called "Holy Trinity" of New Haven-style apizza; the third is Modern Apizza. Visitors build entire trips around the city's pie, Caplan said.  "We actually have people who are doing staycations from all over the country," he added. PHILADELPHIA PIZZA SHOP SELLS $55 SLICES TOPPED WITH CAVIAR, SERVED ON GOLD PLATE WITH KEEPSAKE SPOON New Haven has increasingly earned a place alongside America's better-known pizza destinations, Caplan said, set apart by its signature style, which is locally known as "apizza" and features a thin, crispy, chewy and slightly charred crust. "Let's face it, New York City has always been the center of pizza in everyone's mind," Caplan said, noting Chicago and Detroit as runners-up. "Everyone knows about these big cities and the pizza scene. What New Haven has had to do was prove itself." A traditional pie in New Haven can be remarkably simple, he said, topped only with tomato sauce and some grated Pecorino Romano. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER "People are obsessed with cheese," Caplan said. "But, I want to tell you something, the real pizza, the original pizzas, they didn't have tons of cheese." In addition to its more traditional approach to cheese, the city is also known for its white clam pizza, famously associated with Frank Pepe. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE NEWS Caplan's go-to topping, however, has an unexpectedly salty twist: anchovies.  "That little brininess, that little bit of salt, that extra protein, that flavor ... it is, to me, complete," he said. Anchovy-topped pizza was also the original option in New Haven for diners who wanted something other than a plain pie, he said.

Residents who lived in separate apartments in the house stood outside, according to the Culpeper Police Department. But one man hadn’t come out, they told police. They worried that he might be inside. MYSTERY STRANGER VANISHES AFTER FAMILY SAYS FRANTIC WARNING SAVED THEIR LIVES DURING DEVASTATING HOUSE FIRE Officer Ashley Sain didn’t wait. She rushed toward the house and went in without protective gear and began checking doors, searching for anyone who might still be inside. Moments later, Officer Neal Coffey joined her.

"I can’t see!" he shouted with a tone of increasing desperation, as he pushed through thicker smoke. POLICE DOG FOLLOWS HIS NOSE TO FIND MISSING AUTISTIC TEEN SCREAMING FOR HELP He inched forward on his chest, feeling around through the smoke. Suddenly, he found a man lying unresponsive on a bed. "Hey brother, come on!" he urges frantically, tugging the man’s arm. FIREFIGHTERS, POLICE PULL YOUNG WOMAN FROM SEWAGE-FILLED RAVINE AFTER DAYS TRAPPED IN 104-DEGREE HEAT "Come on! Come with me!"

Coffey pulled the limp man onto the floor. Beel crawled in to help. Together, the four officers dragged the unconscious man into the hallway. Then a firefighter in protective gear emerged through the smoke. A team of firefighters carried the man out of the burning building, and extinguished the fire.

The problem actually is that I feel like I’ve seen more games that are worth wagering on than those that stand out to me. That could be a good sign, like I’m seeing the board well. I have one play that I think should be an easy winner with a 6-point teaser on the Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots. The Tennessee Titans come into this game at 0-5 and 0-2 on the road. They have yet to score more than 20 points in a game, but their defense also hasn’t allowed more than 26 points this season. They lost last week in rather embarrassing fashion, falling 26-3 to the Texans. They just can’t seem to sustain drives or to get their defense to make stops when needed. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! The Colts are struggling this season with a 2-3 record. Their two wins have come against the Texans and Commanders. Their losses have been against the Ravens, Chiefs, and Steelers. They took the Chiefs to overtime. The Steelers and Ravens both got whatever they wanted on offense against Indianapolis. Last season, Tennessee faced the Colts twice, and they lost 41-20 in Tennessee and then 38-14 in Indianapolis. I don’t know that you even need to drop the Colts down, but you’re essentially giving the Colts a chance to just win the game. The New York Jets have been surprisingly competitive this season. The Jets are 2-3 for the season and just 1-2 on the road. Their lone road win was against the Titans. The two losses on the road were against the Lions and Bears. In both of those games, they lost by at least seven points. The third loss came at the hands of the Packers, at home, in overtime as they lost 20-17. The fact that they’ve either won or lost two of three games within one score is a good improvement for them. PATRIOTS' DRAKE MAYE 'LOOKING MYSELF IN THE MIRROR' AS GAME HAS COMPLETELY COLLAPSED SINCE AFC CHAMPIONSHIP The New England Patriots struggled a bit in the early going of the season. They were just 1-2, having lost two games to the Seahawks and the Jaguars. Both losses have come on the road. At home, they’ve beaten the Raiders (last week) and the Steelers (Week 2). They’ve had a combined score of 65-20 against opponents at home this season. Drake Maye has come alive in the past two weeks, throwing for seven of his eight touchdowns. He has also thrown for over half of his total passing yards in the past two games. The Jets are not a team that I trust on the road, and the Patriots seem to be getting their season together. I do think the Patriots could also cover this game at the regular spread, but why bother when all you need them to do is to win by two points or more.

The administration's decision to temporarily ease restrictions on Russian diesel has drawn opposition from Republicans on Capitol Hill and skepticism over whether the move will meaningfully lower prices for Americans. Meanwhile, Russia has offered few public signs of concessions in return. Six Republican senators joined Democrats this week in urging Trump to reverse the decision, while five House Republicans signed a separate bipartisan letter Thursday seeking to revoke the Treasury authorization. The resistance comes as Washington approaches an Oct. 18, 2026, deadline to begin implementing a sweeping new sanctions law Congress overwhelmingly approved to increase economic pressure on Russia. BIPARTISAN SENATORS DEMAND TRUMP SCRAP RUSSIA DIESEL DEAL, CALL IT 'BETRAYAL' OF US ALLIES The administration argues that allowing Russian diesel back onto global markets could help bring down prices for American consumers while demonstrating the economic benefits Russia could gain through improved relations with the United States. Trump has defended the agreement as a way to add supply to a global diesel market strained by high prices, stressing that the Russian fuel does not necessarily need to come state side to benefit American consumers. "That's a diesel deal that's going to be released into the world for the world market because the world market suffers with high prices," Trump told reporters Tuesday. But energy analysts have questioned whether the volumes involved would meaningfully affect prices. Russia, meanwhile, continued striking Ukrainian energy infrastructure after Trump declared an immediate energy ceasefire Sunday. John Hardie, deputy director of the Russia Program at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, argued the diesel agreement would make more sense as part of a reciprocal deal under which Moscow and Kyiv both stopped attacking energy infrastructure. "The Ukrainians could stomach it if it were part of a mutual energy truce where both Russia and Ukraine don't strike each other's infrastructure," Hardie told Fox News Digital. Instead, Hardie said, Trump pressed Ukraine to halt its refinery strikes without securing the same restraint from Putin. "The better solution is to go back to the Kremlin and try to get that two-way solution," he said. Trump announced the diesel agreement Oct. 9 after a phone call with Putin, saying Russia would immediately supply more than 300,000 metric tons of diesel to the "American and Global Marketplace," followed by another 500,000 tons in November, 1 million tons shortly thereafter and eventually another 3 million tons depending on the condition of its refineries. TRUMP RUSSIA DEAL COULD FUEL PUTIN'S WAR, EX-NATO COMMANDER WARNS AS ZELENSKYY SAYS 'NYET' Treasury issued General License 135 the same day, temporarily authorizing transactions involving Russian-origin diesel through April 7, 2027. The diesel dispute has become part of a broader strain between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump has repeatedly pressed Kyiv to halt refinery attacks, while Zelenskyy has criticized the diesel deal and accused Russia of ignoring Trump's energy ceasefire. Ukraine resumed attacks on Russian oil infrastructure this week after saying Moscow had failed to observe the pause. Russia, meanwhile, has intensified attacks on Ukraine's energy system as winter approaches. A major missile and drone attack Wednesday damaged dozens of energy facilities and left hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians without power, according to Ukrainian officials. The White House says the deal serves two purposes: adding supply to global fuel markets and showing Moscow some of the economic benefits that could come with improved relations. Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner discussed the agreement with Ukrainian officials as part of an effort to revive peace negotiations, Reuters reported. One person briefed on the talks said the deal could help "soften" Moscow's position by signaling that Trump remains open to doing business with Russia. But analysts question how much genuinely new diesel Russia can provide. "The amount of diesel Russia can provide would be a drop in the bucket compared to global demand," Masha Kotkin, a fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told S&P Global. "If you are asking about US diesel prices, I don't think it's going to make a difference," she said. Sergey Vakulenko, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center and former Russian oil executive, similarly cautioned against treating the roughly $7 billion value of the diesel contemplated under the agreement as new revenue for Moscow, noting that Russia was already exporting substantial quantities despite Western sanctions. He estimated the sanctions relief could instead benefit Russian exporters by roughly $30 to $40 per ton through better commercial terms and lower shipping costs — tens of millions of dollars per month, only part of which would reach the Russian state through taxes. At the same time, Ukrainian strikes have sharply constrained Russia's ability to increase supply. Vakulenko said Russian diesel available for export fell from roughly 3 million tons per month in April to about 325,000 tons in September, leaving both Russia's additional financial benefit and the deal's potential impact on global prices more limited than the headline figures suggest. Hardie said signs of division between Washington and Kyiv could encourage Putin to increase military pressure rather than compromise. "That message of irresolution and of division between Washington and Kyiv only encourages Putin to intensify military pressure, kind of seeing that opportunity," Hardie said. He said the administration had previously presented sanctions relief and renewed economic ties as benefits Russia could unlock through a negotiated settlement. Offering some of those benefits beforehand, he warned, could undermine that incentive. "It'll lead Putin to kind of digging his heels in on maximalist demands," Hardie said. The debate comes as Congress is moving in the opposite direction. Trump signed the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act into law Sept. 18, giving the administration new authorities to target Russian officials, financial institutions and entities helping sustain the war. Its first 30-day implementation deadline arrives Oct. 18. Six Republican senators — Thom Tillis, Susan Collins, Alan Armstrong, Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn — joined six Democrats Tuesday in calling on Trump to rescind the diesel agreement and implement the new sanctions law. The senators acknowledged the need to bring down energy costs but argued the Russian diesel would have a "negligible impact" on prices while generating additional revenue for Moscow. A separate bipartisan group of 22 House lawmakers called on Trump Thursday to revoke the diesel authorization and fully implement the Graham law. The White House has stood by the agreement, arguing Trump's priority is lowering costs for Americans while continuing to pursue an end to the war. Hardie questioned whether economic incentives would carry enough weight to change Putin's calculations. "Putin cares much more at this point about Ukraine and his legacy, and this broader kind of cocktail of grievances that led him to this war than he does about, you know, clearly Russia's GDP or well-being, or else he never would have done this in the first place," Hardie said. The diesel agreement now puts Trump's theory of leverage to an early test: whether giving Putin a glimpse of the economic benefits available through improved relations can draw him toward a settlement, or whether Moscow will see easing pressure before a ceasefire as a reason to hold out for more.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad4b4c775342cf4db91c563 Pope Leo welcomed back as he delivers Angelus prayer days after lung cancer surgery te 2026-10-18T12:00:07.721Z Pope Leo welcomed back as he delivers Angelus prayer days after lung cancer surgery Pope Leo XIV made a remarkable return to the Vatican on Sunday, appearing before thousands of Catholic faithful in St. Peter's Square just five days after undergoing surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his lung. The 71-year-old pontiff delivered his traditional Angelus prayer from a window overlooking the square, marking his first official engagement since being discharged Saturday from Rome's Gemelli hospital, where doctors removed the lower lobe of his right lung. Leo thanked the faithful for their prayers and support throughout his hospitalization, saying his recent health struggles had brought him closer to those suffering from illness. He also expressed gratitude to the doctors, nurses and hospital staff who cared for him following the operation. POPE LEO XIV DISCHARGED FROM HOSPITAL, WILL RETURN TO VATICAN AFTER SURGERY TO REMOVE LUNG CANCER The first American-born pope said he planned to gradually resume his regular activities with God's help and the continued prayers of the faithful. During his Angelus address, Leo reflected on one of Jesus' best-known teachings, "Give therefore to the emperor the things that are the emperor's, and to God the things that are God's," urging Christians to live with integrity and resist hypocrisy. His return came sooner than expected after doctors initially anticipated a hospital stay of approximately one week following Tuesday's surgery. As he departed the hospital on Saturday, the pope told a reporter in English that he was doing "much better." Claire Holland, visiting from Jacksonville, Fla., told The Associated Press she felt "very blessed" to witness the pope's return. "I think there have been millions and millions of prayers. And he is a strong determined man, and I am so happy that he is feeling well enough to do this," Holland said. POPE LEO UNDERGOES BLOOD TESTS, X-RAY FOLLOWING CANCER SURGERY, VATICAN SAYS The surgery marked the first major health crisis of Leo's 17-month pontificate. Doctors confirmed that the tumor was adenocarcinoma, the most common form of lung cancer. Doctors are conducting further testing on the tumor and surrounding lymph nodes to determine the extent of the disease and whether additional treatment, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy or targeted therapy, may be necessary. The pope is scheduled to visit Uruguay, Argentina and Peru from Nov. 6 through Nov. 17, a demanding itinerary that includes a dozen flights and two helicopter rides to high-altitude destinations. His surgeon, Dr. Stefano Margaritora, told Vatican News on Saturday that the pope appears well enough to go on the trip. "The Holy Father has put his heart and soul into his recovery," Margaritora said, adding that he expected Leo to recover fully from the surgery "in another 10 days or so." "As for a long trip involving air travel in about three weeks, I would say there are no clinical reasons why it should not take place," Margaritora said.

Start betting today with games like Chiefs vs. Chargers or Packers vs. Cowboys.  The Chiefs and Chargers square off in the afternoon game, kicking off at 4:25 PM ET. When this game was originally scheduled, the league had to assume it was going to be a great game. It still can be, but the Chargers are having a terrible season, entering the week winless. The Chiefs are coming into the game with extra rest. Last week was a bye week, and that means they’ve had extra time to prepare. They could move to 5-0, and the Chargers could drop to 0-6.  Odds subject to change If any two teams in the league this season could be compared to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, it would be the Cowboys and Packers. Dallas, in their two wins, has scored 71 points. In their three losses, they’ve scored 67 points. Their defense has struggled to stop anyone in any game, last week failing to stop backup quarterback Jalon Daniels from Tampa.  The Packers have allowed 74 points in their two losses, but just 38 points in the three wins. Their wins have been against the Jets, the Buccaneers and the Bears. Two of those three victories have come against a team starting a backup quarterback. Though their loss to the Vikings was mostly to a backup quarterback there as well. Last year, the two teams combined to score 80 points in a 40-40 tie.   Odds subject to change Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad4b26f75342cf4db91c51a Betr Promo Code FOXNEWS: Get $200 in Bonuses + Four Free Picks for Chiefs-Chargers, Packers-Cowboys te 2026-10-18T11:50:07.480Z Betr Promo Code FOXNEWS: Get $200 in Bonuses + Four Free Picks for Chiefs-Chargers, Packers-Cowboys The NFL has action for us all day long, starting with a London game at 9:30 a.m. ET and then ending with the battle between the Cowboys and Packers on Sunday Night Football.

He has been an instant difference-maker for the club. He has scored six total touchdowns, and two in three of the four games he has played. He has also run the ball 18 or more times in all four games. Give me the over 18.5 rush attempts against a Chargers team that has struggled to stop anyone.  Justin Herbert - Los Angeles Chargers - QB - Herbert made headlines in the offseason for getting engaged to Madison Beer. Unfortunately, it seems like that’s the only thing he did because he has regressed significantly this year. He has seven interceptions and five touchdowns this season, getting at least one of each in every game. In 11 career games against the Chiefs, Herbert has thrown 31 or more times in six of them. However, he has done it just once in the past six games, against Kansas City, and he has only done it twice this season. Odds subject to change MarShawn Lloyd - Green Bay Packers - RB - The Packers still don’t have a very good running game, but the Cowboys have the worst rushing defense in the league. Lloyd finally got going last week, but only got 31 yards on 10 carries. He did find the end zone twice, though. Against a Cowboys team that has allowed five touchdowns on the ground, Lloyd is a good look for a touchdown.  JaVonte Williams - Dallas Cowboys - RB - The Packers' rushing defense hasn’t been great either. They are in the bottom third of the league in rushing defense, but they’ve allowed eight touchdowns to opposing running backs. The anytime touchdown is at -200, which is a high price to pay, but Williams could find the end zone. His yardage is a bit too high, though. He is averaging fewer than 60 yards per game, and his total is listed at 71.5. Dallas doesn’t look to run the ball enough to justify playing the over.

This will still be a difficult one for the Panthers, as playing in Philadelphia is really tough. Bryce Young has started the year strong and now looks to keep rolling. They have alternated wins and losses this season. They dropped the opener to the Bears, then won over the Falcons. They lost by three to the Browns, then beat the Lions.  The Eagles have lost three straight games, though only one was a blowout. Chicago embarrassed Philadelphia, while the Eagles squandered a late lead against the Rams before suffering an improbable loss to the Jaguars in London. Philadelphia kicked a field goal with eight seconds remaining, but Jacksonville returned the ensuing kickoff 53 yards with no timeouts. The Jaguars then hit a game-winning 57-yard field goal. Odds subject to change   Note: The Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions, Miami Dolphins, and Minnesota Vikings are on a bye this week.

Green Bay’s record since 2009 is 10-1-1 against Dallas, including three playoff games. Will they add to their record this week? Last year was a shootout game with both teams scoring 40 points and ending in a tie.  Jordan Love has been phenomenal against the Cowboys in his career. He has thrown for 609 yards and completed over 70% of his passes against them. He also has six touchdown passes against them in just two games.  Dak Prescott has more experience against the Packers and has thrown for 2,250 passing yards, or an average of 321 yards per game. He has thrown for three touchdowns in six of the seven games, and two touchdowns in the other. He has also thrown 10 interceptions. Last year was the first time he didn’t have an interception in seven games against the Packers.  Odds subject to change Cowboys vs. Packers Quarterback Comparison Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad4b26c75342cf4db91c4ff Best Sportsbook Promos for NFL Week 6: Get $2000+ on NFL Sunday With BetMGM, FanDuel, Fanatics, and More te 2026-10-18T11:50:04.813Z Best Sportsbook Promos for NFL Week 6: Get $2000+ on NFL Sunday With BetMGM, FanDuel, Fanatics, and More Sunday brings us the bulk of the slate for Week 6 in the NFL.

Sey and her friends were on the receiving end of some of the most vile harassment and verbal abuse you'll ever see at a sporting event. All because they simply wore T-shirts that had XX-XY on the front. Jennifer Sey, founder and CEO of XX-XY Athletics, who traveled across the country to Indiana Fever games with other female sports activists in support of Sophie Cunningham, said in a statement to OutKick discussing what lead her to attending the game: "I lived in San Francisco for thirty-ish years, so I thought it would be fun to come back and go to a game with some of my San Francisco friends." After explaining, "At first it was fine. We were very friendly with our seat mates," Sey recounted how "it got more and more contentious as the game wore on." LYNX, VALKYRIES COACHES RIP 'SAVE WOMEN'S SPORTS' MOVEMENT AS PRO-TRANS MOB ROCKS 1ST RALLY AT NON-FEVER GAME This is where things took a major turn. "There was a woman across the aisle, who was pointing at us aggressively, giving us the finger. She was clearly filming us," Sey said. "What she thought we were doing wrong was wearing a [XX-XY] shirt and I think she assumed she thought she could get us kicked out." WNBA WON'T NAME PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR SECURITY INCIDENT OVER FANS' SHIRTS, AS DREAM BLAME LEAGUE In a video posted by Sey, you can see the woman with a short haircut, glasses, wearing a mask on her chin, alerting security by pointing at Sey and her three friends. In posts online, that same fan could be seen holding a "Trans Lives Matter" sign as they were escorted from their seats to have a conversation with security, because another fan made a complaint about her and a female companion confronting Sey's group. Remember, the WNBA, it's teams, and it's arena's security have been in hot water for the way they have treated women in XX-XY T-shirts since Cunningham's comments. Earlier in the season, I shared a story about a mother and a daughter sitting court side who were threatened with ejection because they wore XX-XY T-shirts at an Atlanta Dream vs Indiana Fever game at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. They were both forced to put Atlanta Dream T-shirts over their shirts if they wanted to stay for the remainder of the game. ADF SENDS LETTER TO WNBA AFTER CONTROVERSIES OVER TREATMENT OF SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM SUPPORTERS Two teenage girls sitting court side in XX-XY T-shirts at a Seattle Storm vs Indiana Fever game in Seattle earlier this season were cussed out and verbally attacked by a Storm co-owner, who was eventually fined and suspended. The treatment of women in these shirts has been unacceptable and targeted. That's been abundantly clear. TRANS ACTIVISTS HARASS, HURL SLURS AT SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM SUPPORTERS BEFORE FEVER GAME IN MINNESOTA Sey went on to describe what happened as they were approached by security at their seats. Videos of the way Valkyries fans reacted to her group walking up the aisle, thinking they may be getting kicked out, is some of the most vile, nasty images and messages you'll ever see and hear at a sporting event. "We were told [by security] you have to come with us," Sey said recounting the events. SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM SUPPORTERS RALLIED OUTSIDE IN PORTLAND WHILE LIBERAL FANS BOOED HER INSIDE "As we were walking up the stairs, everybody was giving us the finger, telling us that they hoped that we'd die, and that we're horrible, disgusting people," Sey stated. "They were in our faces." In a video filmed and posted by Sey on X, shows just how much vitriol they received while heading up the stairs. SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM SUPPORTERS RALLY IN CHICAGO, WHILE PROTESTERS SHOWCASE WHAT'S WRONG WITH AMERICA One Valkyries fan told Sey, as they were ruthlessly booed by the fans in their section, to "eat my a– after you s—. You're disgusting." The woman also tried knocking Sey's phone out of her hand, flipped her off, and the told her to "f—— kill yourself." Near the top of the stairs, dozens of Valkyries fans waved and said, "Bye!" One woman stood Sey, "Bye! I'm sorry you don't understand." Oh the irony. PAYTON MCNABB: THE BACKLASH AGAINST SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM PROVES THE GOALPOSTS HAVE MOVED Right before approaching security, another Golden State fan said, "Go f— yourself." Again, this is all because these women wore T-shirts that affirmed biological reality. That's it. That's all it took for people to cuss at, berate, ruthlessly attack, and boo these women. LONG LIST OF EMBARRASSING WNBA INCIDENTS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SPORTS LEAGUES MADE POLITICS THEIR PRIMARY FOCUS "The guy (security guard) seemed kind of confounded," Sey said speaking to her interaction with security before they were ultimately released back to their seats. "He told us, 'You're instigating or we're being told you're instigating because of the shirts." After a brief conversation where the security guard said, "There complaint is you're antagonizing them with your shirts pointing in their direction," and he affirmed that the shirts were not in violation of the Fan Code of Conduct. He asked Sey's group to not hold them up or point the shirts in those fans, or any fan's direction, he escorted them back to their seats. Sey also told OutKick that security offered them an escort out of the building because the Valkyries fans became so hostile. Sey shared an additional video on X of an angle from one of her friend's perspectives, showcasing just how awful the verbal attacks were that they received. One male Valkyries fan got in her face telling her, "You're a horrible human being." Another female fan held a pro-trans sign upside down near them, which stated, "We are stronger when we play together." A similar take from Valkyries star Gabby Williams, who stated earlier this season, following the comments from Sophie Cunningham about protecting women's sports from the inclusion of male athletes: "I would welcome a trans athlete on my team or against my team any time. I don’t think it’s a problem in the world. It’s just another way to attack trans people." In a video shared late Saturday night, showing Sey and her friends kindly escorted out of the arena after the conclusion of the game for their safety, a friend perfectly encapsulated the insanity of what just happened: "It's unbelievable. All we're doing is wearing shirts, supporting girls." The WNBA has always claimed that their games are an "inclusive" and "tolerant" environment that does not tolerate "hate", yet all they've done is either insinuate, or allowed the rhetoric to determine that people like Jennifer Sey and her friends who want the league and women's sports as a whole to remain female, are the problem. They've allowed these legitimate WNBA fans to be mistreated, simply because they affirm biological reality and want the league to as well. The WNBA has allowed their fans to mistreat and attack other fans, who are on the opposite end of the trans debate than them, without repercussion. They've allowed, and in my opinion, fostered this toxic, intolerant, hateful environment. Former ESPN host, Elle Duncan, who is now the face of Netflix's sports coverage, and occasionally covers WNBA games on USA Network, wants the public to believe conversations and female sports activists are the problem with WNBA fandom and why the league has become "toxic as Hell." It's nonsense. These people don't actually want tolerance. They want people like Jennifer Sey, and you reading this, to be forced into conformity. They think their feelings trump biological facts. That's the problem.

Fanatics is offering new users promo code FOXNEWS350 to earn $350 in FanCash from a $20 wager on any game from Week 6.  Here are three games and brief previews of games for you to choose from on today’s schedule:  Houston comes into this game having finally won last week. They are now just 1-4 for the season and desperately need a turnaround. Their defense held the Titans to just three points, but they face a much tougher task now that they play Jacksonville. The Jaguars are 4-1 with their lone loss coming on the road against Denver. They did beat the Eagles last week in London, so they have the body clock advantage.  Baltimore is coming off a road win over the Falcons on Sunday Night Football. They were able to muster a win despite missing Lamar Jackson. It took them overtime, but any time you get a win without your starting quarterback, it is a good day. The Browns dropped to 3-2 on the season after losing to the Jets last week. Their offense stagnated and could muster only 12 points in the game. This is a key division match at home for the Browns.  How can you not love watching Josh Allen? If your favorite team is facing him, it has to be frustrating to watch. However, he wins games for the Bills with his arm and his legs. Last week, his team did everything they could to lose the game, but Allen willed them to victory. The Raiders lost their second straight game last week, getting blown out by the Patriots. Another loss here would undo the good work they had to start the season and put them at .500.  Those are just three of the great games that we get to enjoy on the schedule today. Another source of enjoyment comes from Fanatics Sportsbook, where they are offering you $350 in FanCash when using promo code FOXNEWS350 and wagering $20 on one of the games.  Note: The Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions, Miami Dolphins, and Minnesota Vikings are on a bye this week.

On Wednesday, a Union County grand jury indicted Vincent Battiloro, 18, of Garwood, on two counts of first-degree murder in the teen girls’ deaths. Brent Bramnick, who represents the family of victim Maria Niotis, said the dashcam recording from the 2021 Black Jeep Compass driven by Battilori could help prosecutors establish Battiloro’s intent when he allegedly struck and killed Maria, along with Isabella Salas, both 17, on Sept. 29, 2025. MAN ACCUSED OF MOWING DOWN TWO GIRLS IN ALLEGED DOUBLE MURDER EXPOSES TWISTED REASON HE KEPT STREAMING According to court records, Battiloro had been driving up to 70 mph on a residential street in Cranford, with a speed limit of 25 mph, when he plowed into the girls on Burnside Avenue. The best friends were riding together on an electric bicycle when Battiloro allegedly struck them from behind. Cranford police issued citations for offenses including, in part, speeding, reckless driving, improper passing and an unsafe lane change. While the citations described dangerous driving, the murder charges will require the prosecution to prove that Battiloro purposely caused the deaths, Bramnick said. COSTCO EMPLOYEE FATALLY RAMMED CAR INTO CO-WORKER ON MOTORCYCLE AFTER SEEING HUG: DA "So I think even more important than the allegations in the tickets, even though obviously everything’s important, is the fact that this was evidently recorded as it’s happening," Bramnick told Fox News Digital. "And that requires a lot of work and that requires making sure you have all the evidence to show, piece by piece, what this defendant was thinking, and that it was not an accident." MOTHER ACCUSED OF TRYING TO KILL DAUGHTERS IN FREEWAY CRASH AND KNIFE ATTACK AS SOLDIERS STEP IN Bramnick said that he is confident, however, that the evidence will prove murder. "We certainly believe based upon all the evidence presented so far that the intention was to commit those murders," he said. WATCH: DRIVER SMIRKS IN MUGSHOT AFTER ALLEGEDLY HITTING GROUP OF CYCLISTS IN CAUGHT-ON-CAMERA ROAD RAGE Authorities said that following the crash, Battiloro abandoned the SUV and fled the scene on foot. Police cited him for leaving the scene of an accident involving personal injury and failing to report an accident. He’s also accused of having improper or unclear license plates, no proof of registration and insurance, and no proof of a driver’s license. The day after the incident, Battiloro appeared in a gaming livestream on YouTube and complained that people were ridiculing him over what he called "false allegations." Niotis' mother, Foulla Niotis, said that Battiloro, who previously attended Lincoln School in Cranford with her daughter, had stalked the girl for months before the collision, and although she had reported it to police, nothing came from it. "Nobody said to me if there was anything I could do, restraining orders or anything against him," Niotis previously told Fox News Digital. "They just kept saying, 'Oh, he's a juvenile.' " The defendant is also accused of swatting the Niotis residence on at least two occasions in Sept. 2025, according to Bramnick. DRIVER ACCUSED OF KILLING 2 COLLEGE CYCLISTS IN TENNESSEE CRASH ALLEGEDLY FAILED TO BRAKE: COURT DOCS Cranford police questioned Battiloro on Sept. 29, 2025, but subsequently released him to his father after Battiloro claimed someone carjacked him at knife-point. In June, after reviewing the dashcam footage, police arrested Battiloro and charged him as an adult. SEND US A TIP Bramnick said Battiloro remains in custody after his defense agreed to detention without prejudice, leaving open the possibility of challenging the status later. GOT A TIP? Battiloro’s defense attorney, Brian Biglin, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Battiloro’s arraignment is scheduled for Oct. 27, at the Union County Courthouse in Elizabeth. GET BREAKING NEWS BY EMAIL "There'll be an opportunity to have this play out, where people can see what's going on, and that is hugely important for the public," Bramnick added. "Certainly, enormously important for the family, and I think, the Niotis family certainly is happy we're here, and, you know, want justice."

Surgeon doesn't rule it out te 2026-10-18T11:20:08.000Z Could injured Giants star Jaxson Dart return for the playoffs? Surgeon doesn't rule it out Could Big Blue get a big boost in the playoffs in the form of Jaxson Dart? Former college football quarterback-turned-foot-and-ankle surgeon Dr. Drew Burdi won’t rule out a playoff return for the New York Giants' star quarterback, should they get there. "He's a good player. So, I don't know if they'll rush him back. But it could I mean in in some world yeah he could potentially come back," Burdi told OutKick in a recent interview. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Dart underwent surgery on his left knee on Sept. 25, during which doctors repaired his meniscus and addressed damage to his MCL and PCL. Burdi, who doesn’t specialize in knees, said rushing Dart back too soon could put his career at risk. "I think in his situation, they'll probably hold him out. I don't think it's worth risking his career because I mean, you got guys like (Robert Griffin III) and people that have had these injuries in the past and it's just not worth it, I think, for one season. Because if they let him heal, he's a huge investment for them potentially come back," Burdi said. Giants head coach John Harbaugh initially ruled Dart out only for the regular season, leaving the door open for a playoff return if the Giants make it. The estimated recovery time for Dart's injuries is about four to six months. Four months from Sept. 25 is Jan. 25, 2027, and the NFL Divisional Round of the playoffs are scheduled for just two days before. Harbaugh tempered expectations for Dart’s return after the quarterback underwent surgery. "I think he tweeted out he's going to be back for the playoffs. Did he put that out there? Maybe he just texted me that," Harbaugh said on Oct. 1. "Maybe that's a little ambitious." THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! A return for Dart won’t matter if the Giants don’t make the playoffs, but there is reason to believe they could. At 3-1-1, the Giants have beaten the teams they were expected to beat and sit atop the NFC East, while the rest of the division doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence. The Philadelphia Eagles are 2-3 and have lost three straight, including their last two games after blowing fourth-quarter leads. Quarterback Jalen Hurts has a superficial blood clot and will miss at least the Eagles’ game against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The Dallas Cowboys are 2-3 as their defense has once again struggled mightily this season. Despite making wholesale changes to their defense during the offseason, the Cowboys rank 27th in the NFL in scoring defense, allowing 27.2 points per game. Last week, the Cowboys lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24-16. The Buccaneers came into the game 0-4, starting an undrafted rookie who was making his second career start in a primetime road game during a short week. The Washington Commanders are 1-3-1 after a 27-27 tie marked by one of the worst displays of game management from head coach Dan Quinn and quarterback Jayden Daniels. Their next game is Monday against the undefeated San Francisco 49ers. With the rest of the NFC East reeling, if the Giants can stack up enough wins, they could win the weakened division and earn a playoff berth, allowing fans to dream about Dart’s return. The Giants are 2-0-1 without Dart and will look to keep things rolling when they play the 1-4 New Orleans Saints on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.

Wiles, 69, who became the first woman to hold the chief of staff role in January 2025, was diagnosed in March 2026 and underwent six months of treatment, according to public reports. On Sept. 16, she shared on X that her pathology results from Mayo Clinic had come back clear, stating, "I am cancer-free." TRUMP PRAISES SUSIE WILES’ CANCER FIGHT IN SURPRISE GALA VIDEO: ‘WINNING IT DECISIVELY’ Wiles recently shared some additional details of her cancer journey with Fox News Digital. Wiles’ diagnosis came as a complete surprise, as she had no symptoms and no indications that anything was wrong, she said. "I felt fine. I was working every day in one of the most demanding jobs imaginable. There was nothing telling me that I had cancer," she told Fox News Digital. Wiles had gone in for her annual checkup. She wasn’t due for her annual mammogram until several months later, but the machine happened to be available that day. "My doctor asked if I wanted to get it out of the way," she said. "I told him I wasn’t due for another few months and I’d come back." Wiles’ doctor insisted that she proceed with the scan, as he knew that her job’s busy schedule would make scheduling a challenge. "He said, essentially, ‘You’re here. The machine is available. Let’s do it now.’ Thank God he insisted." The mammogram detected Wiles’ aggressive breast cancer at an early stage. CANCER TREATMENT DELAYS SURGE ACROSS US AS DOCTOR WARNS SYSTEM ‘NEEDS FIXING IMMEDIATELY’ "Had he not encouraged me to do it that day, I would have gone back to work and probably not thought about it again until July," she said. "We would be having a very different conversation in that case. Four months may not sound like a long time, but with cancer, early detection matters. I will always be grateful to my doctor for knowing me well enough to insist." While the physical effects of cancer treatment are well-known, Wiles emphasized that there is also a mental and emotional toll. "There were hard days. I don’t want to minimize that or make cancer sound anything less than it is — brutal and unrelenting," she said. "You wake up thinking about it. Sometimes you go to sleep thinking about it. There is always another appointment or test result somewhere on the horizon." Wiles credits her "exceptional" doctors and nurses, as well as her family, friends and colleagues, for supporting her through the process. Her faith also sustained her, she added. JUST 5 MINUTES OF PRAYER COULD HAVE SURPRISING HEALTH BENEFITS, STUDY FINDS "One of the things I have shared is how cancer can consume both your conscious and subconscious mind," she said. "Even when you’re doing something else, it’s there — treatment, side effects, test results." "Having people around you who can carry some of that weight matters enormously." Everyone finds strength in different places when going through hard times, Wiles noted. "For me, my family, my faith, and continuing to work and serve the president and the country gave me purpose," she said. "Those were the things that reminded me there was so much in my life beyond cancer." "I was surrounded by people who loved me, prayed for me and supported me. And I had faith that whatever happened, God was with me." CAN FAITH HELP PATIENTS HEAL? VETERAN DOCTOR REVEALS WHAT HE'S WITNESSED FIRSTHAND The disease can make the world seem "very small" for someone who receives a diagnosis, Wiles pointed out. She opted to continue working during treatment, noting that she was "surprised" by how much it helped. "Work gave me somewhere else to put my mind," she said. "It reminded me that I was still myself and that cancer was something I was going through, not the entirety of who I was." Now that she is cancer-free, Wiles said she places a higher priority on healthy habits. "I am far more conscious of the need for a clean and healthy diet, how important sleep is to your body, and the importance of exercise — even something as simple as getting up, moving and walking outside," she said.

After her close call and "fortunate" discovery, Wiles is now encouraging others to stay on top of their routine medical appointments and screenings, urging them to "please make the appointment." "I understand how easy it is to put yourself last. We do it all the time," she said. "We take care of our families, our jobs and everyone who depends on us, and we convince ourselves that our own appointment can wait another week or another month." "We all have reasons to put things off … but you cannot be too busy to take care of your health. I learned that in a very personal way." CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER To others who are in the midst of a cancer journey, Wiles emphasized the importance of letting other people step in to help. "My advice would be to let them. Accept the help. Lean on the people you love. Trust your doctors," she advised. "And for me, most importantly, trust God." There is no single right way to fight cancer, Wiles said. "Some days, you will feel strong, and some days simply getting through the day is an accomplishment," she said. "I hope people going through it know that they are not alone, and that there can be life, joy and purpose not only on the other side, but also in the midst of the fight." TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ Wiles says her cancer experience has given her a fresh perspective and greater appreciation for the "ordinary days" that many take for granted — but she also noted that the disease has not made her an entirely different person. "I love my work. I love my family. I am enormously grateful to be cancer-free, and I intend to live my life fully," she said. "There isn’t a day that I don’t understand what a blessing that is." Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad4ab6675342cf4db91c416 The crisis facing American boys might trace back to one essential problem te 2026-10-18T11:20:06.303Z The crisis facing American boys might trace back to one essential problem America spends a great deal of time talking about what has gone wrong with young men. They are falling behind in building families and in their careers. Too many lack direction, discipline, purpose and confidence. Many worry about pornography, loneliness, video games, declining marriage rates, anger, apathy and more. Yet remarkably little attention is paid to a more fundamental question: Who should be forming boys to become men? For much of American history, the answer was men themselves. DADS AREN’T OPTIONAL — AND AMERICA’S KIDS ARE PAYING THE BRUTAL PRICE Before education became synonymous with brick-and-mortar classrooms, a boy learned first from his father, then from a career mentor, from older male relatives and from other leading men in his community. Education certainly included literacy and arithmetic, but also scripture, history, duty, courage, self-control and how a man was expected to conduct himself. At least until reformers such as Horace Mann came on the scene. Mann, known as "the father of American education," wanted standardized education across the country, which required enormous numbers of teachers. Women, who were up until then typically homemakers, became the answer. Some argued women were naturally nurturing and morally suited to shape children. Still, others noticed something else. Finding inexpensive labor for the growing number of schools became a priority. Women at that time could be paid considerably less than men. Mann asked in 1838 why communities should pay male teachers $25 or $30 monthly when women could do the job for roughly half the price. By 1870, nearly 90% of Massachusetts teachers were women. Industrialization further transformed fatherhood. Boys who once watched their fathers work on farms, in workshops and running family businesses increasingly saw less and less of their fathers who began working elsewhere. Fathers became primarily breadwinners while others assumed responsibility for children’s formation. The cultural division became this: Dad earned the money. Mom handled education. TRADITIONAL TWO-PARENT FAMILIES VANISH FROM BIG AMERICAN CITIES AS 'MARRIAGE DESERTS' EXPAND Today we can see what Mann’s reform wrought. Nearly 80% of America’s public school teachers are women. Meanwhile, approximately one in five American children, more than 15 million, live with their mothers but not the fathers. ALEX BERENSON: GENTLE PARENTING CAN'T REPLACE THE STRENGTH OF A GOOD DAD Based on the proportion of female elementary teachers, a simplified statistical model reveals nearly half of American children could complete kindergarten through fifth grade without ever being in a classroom led by a male teacher. This is not to suggest female teachers provide inferior education. Women stepped into a space too many men vacated and continue to carry an enormous responsibility educating both girls and boys. But a system offering boys almost no male role models is missing something essential. Consider then what happens when these two realities intersect. Millions of boys are growing up without a father in the home. And classrooms are overwhelmingly led by women. Some boys may go through their most formative years — during which they develop confidence, courage, resilience and the ability to handle frustration — without a consistent male role model in the places they spend most of their time. BILL BENNETT: WHAT I TOLD MY SONS ABOUT THEIR FAITH, FAMILY AND AMERICA This raises a serious question: Who is teaching America’s boys how to become good, responsible men? Should we really be surprised too many boys are struggling when good male role models are so scarce in their daily lives, especially in education? Boys need meaningful exposure to good men who take intellectual and moral development seriously. Men who teach boys to turn aggression into protection, competitiveness into excellence, physical strength into service and eventually sexual desire into restraint, responsibility and commitment. WE SHOULD TELL REAL AMERICAN ADVENTURE STORIES TO TEACH OUR BOYS ABOUT HEROES Yet, influential men spend hours today discussing what’s happened to 25-year-olds while devoting remarkably little attention to boys at 7, 10 or 13. They discuss declining masculinity without discussing curriculum, history, character formation or what fathers should personally teach their sons. We have become fascinated by repairing men while remaining strangely disengaged from making them. It's been said, after all, it's easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. AMERICAN SCHOOLS COST MORE THAN EVER BUT OUR STUDENTS STILL KEEP FAILING This boy crisis is indeed an education crisis. And nothing will be solved by a new bureaucratic policy or a government spending scheme. The heart of education is the human mind and important formation happens when boys are little. How does a 10-year-old prepare for life’s challenges? Where does he find courage? Can he distinguish good from evil, control his emotions, tolerate rejection and understand his responsibilities to his family and to his neighbor? Perhaps the most consequential change in America was when men gradually stopped believing educating children was central to how boys became men. That is a cultural mistake we should correct. Boys need more male teachers and fathers who are involved in their children’s schools and learning journeys. America’s boys need more intellectuals who take childhood education as seriously as geopolitics. And they need more politicians who care as much about who helps form a child’s mind as who gets to formulate a school’s budget. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION Here and now I hear my own father saying: "Stop complaining and do something about it." Many men complain about education becoming "too feminine" while at the same time treating education as a woman’s responsibility. But if men genuinely want to reverse the boy crisis, American education can no longer remain a no-man’s land.

In new letters announced this week, the Republican-led House Ways and Means Committee renewed its demands for financial records and other documents as lawmakers investigate whether millions of dollars flowing through Singham's network of tax-exempt nonprofits are being used to advance Chinese Communist Party interests in the United States. Singham himself is among 21 individuals identified by the committee for potential questioning under oath, according to Fox News Digital sources. The list includes nonprofit executives, activists and journalists associated with the three organizations. PROBE INTO 'SUBVERSIVE' ANTI-AI SINGHAM NETWORK IS 'ENORMOUS,' FORMER TREASURY ADVISOR SAYS DOJ LAUNCHES GRAND JURY PROBE INTO MARXIST MOGUL NEVILLE ROY SINGHAM'S FUNDING OF LEFTIST GROUPS The letters were sent to The People's Forum Inc., a New York City-based activist hub; BreakThrough News, a left-wing nonprofit media outlet that shares a Manhattan address with The People's Forum; and Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, a Massachusetts-based Marxist think tank. "Shanghai Singham has poured millions of dollars into these groups to take advantage of America's nonprofit sector and promote Chinese Communist Party propaganda. That much is public. What these groups are fighting to keep hidden is even more concerning," Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., said in a statement. "Either these organizations turn over the documents, or their leaders will answer the Committee's questions under oath." The threatened depositions mark another escalation in a dispute that began with requests for financial records in 2025 and intensified when the committee subpoenaed the three nonprofits in July. The organizations have challenged the investigation, arguing lawmakers are targeting their political views and First Amendment-protected activities. The potential deposition targets include eight individuals at The People's Forum, seven at BreakThrough News and six at Tricontinental. Among those named are The People's Forum executive director Manolo De Los Santos, education director Layan Fuleihan and organizing director David Chung; BreakThrough News editor-in-chief Ben Becker, news director Zoe Alexandra and chief correspondent Rania Khalek; and Tricontinental executive director Vijay Prashad and Singham, who is listed as chairman of its international advisory board. The committee has not publicly announced that deposition subpoenas have been issued to any of the individuals. SUBPOENAED PRO-CHINA OUTLET DEFENDS ITSELF ON DEMOCRACY NOW!, WHICH PAID SINGHAM-FOUNDED COMPANY MILLIONS The panel alleges that Singham channeled money through shell companies and donor-advised funds before it reached the three tax-exempt groups. Such arrangements, the committee said, can allow foreign-linked funding to pass through intermediaries that "by design, obscure the original source of the contribution." Singham is an American-born technology tycoon and longtime Marxist activist who sold his software company, ThoughtWorks, for an estimated $785 million in 2017 and now lives in Shanghai. Fox News Digital previously traced at least $278 million from Singham into six core U.S. nonprofits that served as funding hubs within a broader international network of activist groups, media organizations and think tanks promoting socialist, communist and pro-China causes. Of that funding, the investigation found $22.44 million flowed to The People's Forum, $16.76 million to Tricontinental and $1.098 million to BreakThrough BT Media Inc., the parent organization of BreakThrough News. Together, the three received approximately $40.3 million, according to the investigation, which the committee cited in its earlier correspondence. The committee says it is examining whether existing tax laws adequately protect against foreign influence in the nonprofit sector and whether Congress should strengthen those laws. Separately, Singham is under federal grand jury investigation in the Southern District of New York over alleged financial crimes involving his nonprofit funding network, as previously reported by Fox News Digital. The investigation is examining possible wire fraud, bank fraud, money laundering and other financial offenses. No criminal charges against Singham have been announced. BreakThrough News condemned the latest demands in an Oct. 9 statement on its website, accusing the committee of targeting its journalists because of their political views. The outlet said it receives no outside editorial direction and that its major donations come from U.S. organizations. During an episode of its BT Live program, hosts Alexandra and Khalek, both named among those facing potential depositions, denounced the committee's demands. "Unless BT gives up its legal rights, including our First Amendment protections, he'll subpoena each of us individually and drag us to Washington for depositions," Alexandra said. Khalek accused lawmakers of targeting journalists personally after the outlet challenged earlier demands. "They will come after us individually if we don't comply with their unconstitutional demands," she said. BreakThrough News also urged supporters to sign a petition opposing the investigation and donate to help cover its legal expenses. Fox News Digital contacted all three organizations and their attorneys for comment on the latest demands but had not received a response as of publication. The investigation has also drawn accusations of McCarthyism from prominent left-wing figures, including Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, who called the July subpoenas "the McCarthy trials" and warned, "They will come for you," and CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin, who described them as a "terrible attack on independent journalism." ‘MCCARTHY TRIALS’: HASAN PIKER, FAR-LEFT FIGURES ERUPT OVER SUBPOENAS IN $39M SINGHAM PROBE The committee first sought records from The People's Forum in September 2025 and expanded its investigation to BreakThrough News and Tricontinental in February 2026. After the organizations challenged the requests, lawmakers narrowed their demands in May before issuing subpoenas in July. The committee sought records involving foreign-linked funding, financial arrangements, communications with Singham and other foreign interests, and information about donors and overseas grants. Attorneys for BreakThrough News and The People's Forum formally objected in August, arguing the subpoenas violated First Amendment protections and demanded information beyond the committee's legitimate legislative authority. "A witch-hunt is not a valid legislative purpose," the attorneys wrote in their Aug. 7 responses, comparing the investigation to the House Un-American Activities Committee's investigations of suspected communist influence during the 1940s and 1950s. The organizations also accused lawmakers of repeatedly changing the stated purpose of the investigation as they challenged earlier requests. Both left open the possibility of responding if the committee narrowed or revised its demands. The committee rejected those arguments, maintaining that its investigation concerns the organizations' finances and structure rather than their political views or journalism.

As Europe begins to respond to the threat of radical Islam across the continent, an overwhelming majority of the European Parliament voted for a resolution that condemned the Muslim Brotherhood and its actions. European Parliament member Céline Imart of France, who sponsored the resolution, called the vote "a historic victory because it is a European first. For the first time, Europe has voted on a text that tackles Islamist entryism and the Muslim Brotherhood." EUROPE’S LEFT COURTS MUSLIM VOTERS AS ANTI-ISRAEL POLITICS RESHAPE CONTINENT Imart posted on X that she had "broken a taboo that Europe has been dragging around like a chain: this victory signifies a major doctrinal shift in the institutions… We were able to transcend partisan divides on a major issue for our societies and our youth." Lorenzo Vidino, director of the program on extremism at George Washington University, told Fox News Digital that, "This is something that the French and the Austrian governments have been pushing for almost a decade," noting a growing consensus across Europe that wants action. The resolution was led by the European People’s Party, or EPP, a center-right coalition that is the largest group in the European Parliament. "The voting does reflect a gap between the right and the left," said Vidino, "with the right voting almost entirely in favor of the resolution, and a good part of the left, although with some notable exceptions, voting against it." As part of her post on X, Imart made it a point to thank "the negotiators from the other groups with whom I had the pleasure of working - excluding the socialists and the far left, who boycotted the text." Vidino said, "The Brotherhood remains something that is seen through the political lenses of our own political debates, where it shouldn't be... because it's a challenge to our societies." DENMARK'S LEFT-WING PM WARNS: 'BIG ENEMY HAS STARTED TO GROW FROM WITHIN' AS EUROPE FACES MIGRANT RECKONING A press release on the resolution issued by the European Parliament's news website stated that Islamist entryism targets "democratic institutions, the rule of law, equality between women and men and fundamental freedoms." It stressed that Muslim citizens must be protected from discrimination as "a democratic obligation," while "warning against treating organized Islamist networks as representative interlocutors." The release also stated, "While Europe must remain free, open and faithful to its principles, it can ‘no longer fund, consult or legitimize networks that use its language, procedures and funding to weaken its values from within,’" but "MEPs stress that anti-discrimination policies must not be used to shield Islam from criticism or legitimize organized Islamist networks." The resolution was slammed by ENAR, a pan-European anti-racism network, which released a statement following its passage. "ENAR condemns in the strongest possible terms the racist and Islamophobic resolution "on the need for an EU strategy to counter Islamist entryism and the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood network" proposed by the European People’s Party (EPP) and passed by the European Parliament today, including its targeting of ENAR and its members like FEMYSO through sham allegations and falsehoods seeking to associate our network with the Muslim Brotherhood. ENAR categorically rejects these claims." It added in part, "This resolution is a stain on the European Parliament and marks a profoundly shameful day in Europe’s history. A Parliament that should defend democracy, equality and fundamental rights has instead given institutional legitimacy to a racist politics of suspicion that casts Muslim communities, Muslim-led civil society, organizations combating Islamophobia, and those who defend their rights as inherently suspect."  Edmund Fitton-Brown, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), told Fox News Digital "This resolution is where the pushback begins against Islamist entryism in Europe. It is admirably clearly worded. The task of converting it into binding legislation begins now and will be difficult." The former UK ambassador to Yemen, Fitton-Brown added, "Europe regularly imagines that "legal", "non-violent" Islamism is in conflict with, and a potential antidote to, violent Islamist terrorism. It is not, it is a gateway to it, it creates the climate for it, and the two are pursuing the same goals, only via different tactics." He added, "Europe fails to prioritize subversion as a threat, whereas during the Cold War it understood that threat and took serious measures to counter it. Europe also seeks to appease Islamist entryism by adopting hostile policies towards Israel, and sometimes by passing blasphemy-adjacent and anti-"Islamophobia" laws, thinking they are protecting the Muslim community. In fact, the main victims of these laws are liberal Muslims trying to escape the confines of their community and enjoy Western freedoms." Asked about the differences between Europe and the U.S. approach to the Brotherhood, Vidino said the European way is "a bit more nuanced" than that of the U.S., where the Trump administration has designated the Muslim Brotherhood and 4 of its branches as terrorist organizations. He says Europe sees the Muslim Brotherhood "mostly through the lenses of entryism, of subversion, of a group that destroys the fabrics of society… a matter of a threat to democracy, but a lot of the activities of the Brotherhood might be legal if taken individually." TRUMP ADMIN ACCUSES HAMAS OF BACKING GAZA FLOTILLA, SANCTIONS ACTIVIST AND MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD NETWORKS While noting that numerous security services across Europe have been warning about the Muslim Brotherhood for some time, Vidino says the resolution "sets the tone. It gives a political push," suggesting agencies and governments "might feel more legitimized in seeing the Brotherhood in negative ways." "I'm a bit skeptical on whether this resolution would have a major tangible impact," Vidino added. "Islamist groups are very good at camouflaging their activities." While there is "no organization that calls itself Muslim Brotherhood in Europe," he said if and when funding is pulled from an Islamist organization by the EU, "They will make a fuss… They fight back. They have an ability to also leverage what could be a crisis, but turn it to their advantage by playing the victim card and the Islamophobia card." As part of the resolution, the European Council was asked to assess whether entities or individuals linked to the Muslim Brotherhood should be added to the EU list of terrorist organizations. It called for full traceability of EU funding and a European Commission overview of EU funds awarded to people or entities suspected of links to the Muslim Brotherhood or political Islam.  It also welcomed initiatives by member states to draw up national lists of hate preachers and calls for the establishment of such a list at EU level, while also calling for stronger scrutiny of foreign funding and transnational partnerships, particularly involving actors linked to Qatar or Turkey and greater use of Schengen tools and EU databases. "This vote is a victory, but it is also a starting point," Imart said. "The Commission and the Council must now take action, and I will make sure they do." Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad4a45d75342cf4db91c350 MIKE DAVIS: Justice Department must be wrapping up Rep. Ilhan Omar's Christmas present te 2026-10-18T10:50:05.544Z MIKE DAVIS: Justice Department must be wrapping up Rep. Ilhan Omar's Christmas present When U.S. Department of Homeland Security agents raided the DC home of far-left Islamist and Democrat U.S. House Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota last Monday, they came armed with a judicial warrant. Omar’s fellow leftists shrieked that the raid amounted to political revenge from President Trump. We do not know yet the facts contained in the agents’ affidavit that goes with any warrant, but we certainly know enough to say this: These leftists’ accusation is laughable. The more likely scenario is Omar and many others will receive a Christmas present in the form of federal indictments. FEDERAL AGENTS RAID ILHAN OMAR’S DC HOME AMID IMMIGRATION FRAUD INVESTIGATION The Fourth Amendment bars judges from issuing a warrant without probable cause. U.S. Magistrate Judge Matthew Sharbaugh of the District of Columbia, the DC duty judge when the Omar raid occurred, reportedly signed the warrant for Omar’s home. That means Judge Sharbaugh found probable cause evidence of at least one federal crime is inside Omar’s home. Supreme Court precedents like United States v. Leon (1984) require that an issuing judge must be neutral and detached. If anything, Judge Sharbaugh's record suggests a judge predisposed to rule against the Trump Justice Department, not for it. Before becoming a judge, Sharbaugh donated to Hillary Clinton during her losing 2016 campaign against President Trump. Sharbaugh clerked twice for Judge Robert Wilkins, a leftist appointee of President Obama, on both the D.C. U.S. District Court and the D.C. U.S. Circuit. Judge Wilkins was one of the three D.C. U.S. circuit judges rammed through by former Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid at the end of 2013 just before Republicans took control of the U.S. Senate. Omar's leftist allies in Congress claimed that President Trump is targeting Omar because of the upcoming midterms. Those allies include U.S. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Jamie Raskin of Maryland, and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. So which is it, exactly? Are these leftists accusing Judge Sharbaugh of joining the conspiracy? Are they claiming he isn't neutral, and that he harbors prejudice against Omar? DEMOCRATS HAVE ‘DIRTY HANDS’ OVER COMPLAINTS ABOUT OMAR RAID WEEKS BEFORE ELECTION, EX-PROSECUTOR SAYS If so, the charge is ridiculous. According to all evidence, Judge Sharbaugh is no puppet of the Trump administration. The DC U.S. district judges who appointed him as a magistrate judge in October 2024 are overwhelmingly leftists–overwhelmingly Obama and Biden appointees. In reality, the truth is far more devastating for Democrats. Judge Sharbaugh's almost certain signature on that warrant shows beyond any reasonable doubt that this matter is serious and based in evidence. This is no political hit job. FEDERAL AGENTS SEIZE PHONE OF REP ILHAN OMAR IN RAID TIED TO IMMIGRATION FRAUD PROBE The government has probable cause concerning at least one federal crime. We are unsure what the crime is, because the affidavit remains sealed. But The New York Times reports that members of Omar's family have received subpoenas. Perhaps the crime entails immigration fraud. ILHAN OMAR SHOULD BE JAILED, DEPORTED IF CITIZENSHIP FRAUD PROVEN, TOP HOUSE REPUBLICAN SAYS Omar claims she was 17 when she purportedly became an American citizen through a process called derivative naturalization. Her father sought and purportedly obtained citizenship. Under our immigration law, that made his minor children eligible for citizenship as well. But two issues call into question Omar's citizenship status. ILHAN OMAR'S TURBULENT WEEK EXPLAINED: THE DUELING PROBES THAT THREW THE SOMALI-BORN PROGRESSIVE INTO CHAOS First, some allege that her father was a Somali warlord, who never should have received citizenship in the first place. In other words, he allegedly lied to obtain it. Moreover, no one seems to be able to find any official record of his citizenship. Second, Omar's staff surreptitiously changed the date of birth on her biography in 2019, according to the Library of Congress. Indeed, as the Washington Post recently reported: ILHAN OMAR’S HUSBAND INSISTS HE HAS ‘NO CONCERNS’ AMID FEDERAL IMMIGRATION INVESTIGATION "The library told The Washington Post on Tuesday that Omar’s staff had sought that change, saying at the time that it was in the process of correcting Omar’s birth year in various public sources." Under the original, pre-2019-changed birth date, Omar would have been 18 years old when she became a citizen. That would have made her ineligible for derivative naturalization through her father. ILHAN OMAR RAID SPARKS OMINOUS PREDICTION FROM WATCHDOG: 'THEY PROBABLY GOT THE GOODS' Article I, Section 2, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution requires seven years of citizenship to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives. But based on these allegations, Omar may have obtained citizenship fraudulently. In other words, she may have never been a legitimate citizen and therefore never eligible to serve in Congress. In addition to the DOJ and DHS investigations, the U.S. House of Representatives must investigate this immediately. If Omar isn’t a U.S. citizen, the House must expel her. Federal law provides a process for denaturalizing those who engaged in fraud to procure their citizenship. No statute of limitations stops the government from pursuing denaturalization in a civil process. Just ask the former Nazis, who came to the United States claiming to be "refugees." Decades later, the government sought and won their denaturalizations, because they had lied on their paperwork to procure citizenship. We have done it before, and we can do it again. There is also more. Another possible crime is Omar's 2009 marriage to a man who is allegedly her brother. Omar was (possible fraud aside) a nominal American citizen at the time, so marrying her eased her alleged brother’s own pathway to citizenship. That alleged conspiracy would be blatant immigration fraud. Omar and her alleged brother, who perhaps was one of the subpoenaed family members, could face prison time for such a scheme. Her alleged brother could also face denaturalization proceedings on the basis that he too allegedly obtained his citizenship through fraud. Yet another possibility of criminal conduct is Omar's recent financial disclosures, which every Member of Congress must file. One year, Omar disclosed modest assets. The next year, she and her second (non-brother) husband disclosed approximately $30 million—about 13,000 times what she had disclosed the year before. Then, after getting exposed, she amended her disclosure and indicated modest assets again. Omar refused to give any explanation. Perhaps the government is seeking documentation to corroborate its reasonable suspicion of financial malfeasance. RICO charges against Omar and many others involved in potential fraudulent activities related to Minnesota food assistance and other welfare programs are certainly foreseeable. The claim that the government targeted Omar to influence the upcoming election, or because of her virulent rhetoric against President Trump and the country that generously gave her a refuge from war-torn Somalia is absurd. Judge Sharbaugh, a prior Hillary donor, is plainly a leftist judge. It defies common sense to believe he would go along with such a plan by the Trump White House and Justice Department. The simplest explanation is this: the federal government has strong evidence of federal crimes–so strong that even a hardcore leftist judge could not overlook it. It is hard to get a judge to order a home raid. This is particularly true against a sitting Member of Congress, who enjoys Speech and Debate Clause immunity under the U.S. Constitution. And this happened three weeks before the midterm elections, by a DC Democrat judge against a leading Democrat politician. The evidence against Omar–and likely many others–must be overwhelming. Omar would be wise to look out for an indictment before Christmas.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad49d5575342cf4db91c26f Teen suspected of killing boy and stepmom was in prosecutors' sights for years — until new law let them strike te 2026-10-18T10:20:05.467Z Teen suspected of killing boy and stepmom was in prosecutors' sights for years — until new law let them strike Indiana investigators identified a suspect years before charging a man with the 2006 murders of 10-year-old Blake Dickus and his 26-year-old stepmother, Chynna Dickus, but prosecutors say an unusual gap in state law prevented them from bringing the case. Johnson County Prosecutor Lance Hamner told Fox News Digital that authorities had identified Michael Jerome James as a suspect in the double murders, but spent years working to establish a legal path to prosecute him for crimes he allegedly committed at age 14. "That's what took us so long," Hamner said. "We had a suspect identified. We weren't able to bring charges for several years because we were trying to get the jurisdictional statute in place." KILLER UNDONE BY DECADES-OLD THREADS — GLOVE, TOWEL AND SHIRT STITCH TOGETHER COLD CASE JUSTICE James, now 35, appeared in Johnson Circuit Court in Franklin on Thursday, Oct. 8, following a grand jury indictment in the July 24, 2006, deaths of Blake and Chynna. James faces four counts of murder. Prosecutors accuse him of killing Blake and Chynna while burglarizing or attempting to burglarize their Franklin home. During his court appearance, James told Johnson Circuit Court Judge Andrew Roesener that he did not have an attorney yet but planned to get one. Roesener gave James until Nov. 2 to hire an attorney and set his next status hearing for the same day. James' age at the time of the killings is what created an unusual problem for the state, Hamner said. Indiana law historically gave juvenile courts jurisdiction over crimes committed by minors, creating a dilemma when authorities identified an alleged juvenile offender only after that person had aged out of the system. Since authorities did not identify or charge James while he was a juvenile, prosecutors faced the question of whether an adult court could legally hear the case. TEEN ACCUSED OF KILLING TWO GIRLS IN ALLEGED HIT-AND-RUN WILL BE TRIED AS ADULT AFTER IDENTITY REVEALED "That leaves a gap because this person is alleged to have committed a crime when he was 14, was not charged in juvenile court, and now that he's over the age of 18 could not be charged in adult court because of the way that law was written," Hamner said. In 2023, state law changed. A new legal path was created for adult courts to handle certain cases involving those accused of committing serious crimes as juveniles. The law did not cover every violent crime and depended partly on whether prosecutors could have sought adult prosecution when the offender was a juvenile. Hamner said another case involving child molestation allegations tested the 2023 statute. The Indiana Court of Appeals rejected its application in that case, and the Indiana Supreme Court later reached the same conclusion. "That means that we couldn't use it either," Hamner said. NEW CALIFORNIA LAW EXPANDS DNA TOOLS FOR MISSING PERSONS INVESTIGATIONS "We started back over. We went back to the legislature and, with the guidance of the decision in that 2023 statute, drafted a new law that would satisfy the concerns that the Indiana Supreme Court had." Hamner said lawmakers passed a new statute in 2025 after considering the concerns raised by the Indiana Supreme Court. The 2025 change gave prosecutors the legal mechanism needed to charge James. "Then we were back in business to be able to charge this individual," he said. Hamner said he is more confident the latest statute will withstand a legal challenge. "Nothing's ever certain, but I'm a lot more confident about this statute than we were with the other one," Hamner said. Criminal defense lawyer Mike Cunningham, however, told Fox 59 News that he believes Indiana law does not allow prosecutors to charge James as an adult for crimes he allegedly committed before the state changed its juvenile jurisdiction law in 2023. "For acts that are committed after 2023, if you’re a juvenile and we don’t learn about it until after you’re 21, then you may be held accountable in adult court," he said. "But what the court has said is for anything that happened before 2023, the law does not permit that because they did not have adequate notice." If James' eventual defense attorney challenges the court's jurisdiction, the dispute could determine whether prosecutors can pursue the murder case at all. Blake and Chynna suffered multiple stab wounds inside the family's home on Aberdeen Drive in the otherwise peaceful Branigin Woods subdivision. Investigators determined that Blake also had blunt-force injuries and signs of smothering. Blake's father, Sean Dickus, returned home and discovered the bodies. Blake's mother, Christina Smith, had planned to pick up her son that day but instead arrived to find the neighborhood surrounded by police. She later learned that Blake appeared to have fought desperately against his attacker, and had severe injuries to his hands. "His poor little hands were so bad, like, he tried to grab the knife and like, his thumb was almost sliced off," Christina Smith told WTHR. "The knife went through his hands... I don't know how that guy could live with himself." For years, investigators explored possible connections between the murders and a string of break-ins occurring within a half-mile of the Dickus residence. They also questioned multiple construction workers who were working in the neighborhood around the time of the murders. "They did a very extensive and thorough investigation, but they weren't able to identify any suspects," Hamner said. "They were getting a lot of tips, but nothing was coming from it." Hamner declined to say whether authorities uncovered evidence suggesting a juvenile committed the burglaries or whether James had any connection to them. The Dickus murders have followed Hamner through years of his career. Voters first elected Hamner as Johnson County prosecutor in 1991, and held the position when the 2006 murders happened. FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X Hamner left the prosecutor's office and became a judge in 2009 with the murders still unsolved. In 2021, he learned that investigators believed they had caught a break in the case, although he declined to reveal what initially led authorities to James. Hamner had already considered leaving the bench and running for prosecutor again. He said the development in the Dickus investigation played a major role in his decision. "When I found out about this, this was a huge part of my making that decision to come back and work on this case that had sadly just been languishing all those years," Hamner said.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad49d5475342cf4db91c266 This robot dog was made to save soldiers' lives as US races into new era of autonomous warfare te 2026-10-18T10:20:04.469Z This robot dog was made to save soldiers' lives as US races into new era of autonomous warfare A four-legged robot dog prowled the floor of the Army's largest annual conference in Washington, D.C., this week. Nearby a handheld weapon promised to knock drones from the sky without firing a shot, and a new interceptor was built to chase down the faster, deadlier versions coming next. The displays offered a glimpse of a battlefield changing at a pace that is forcing the U.S. military and defense industry to race not only to develop new weapons, but to keep them from becoming outdated as quickly as they arrive. "It's always a cat and mouse game, and we do have to be looking down the field," Eric Brock, CEO of defense technology company Ondas, told Fox News Digital in an interview at the Association of the United States Army's (AUSA) annual meeting. That race was hard to miss at the AUSA expo this week, where drones, counter-drone weapons and autonomous systems crowded the show floor as the Army looks to rapidly incorporate lessons from conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East into its battleplan. PENTAGON JUMPS FROM $225M TO $55B ON DRONES AS CHEAP ATTACKS OVERWHELM US DEFENSES "If you walk around the hall at AUSA, it'll give you a good indication of the Army's priorities. Our priorities are reflected in what we're procuring," Army Under Secretary Mike Obadal said ahead of the conference. On the ground, Ondas demonstrated a huge piece of that shift: Scout, a four-legged robotic system designed to move ahead of troops into buildings, tunnels and other potentially dangerous areas while sending imagery back to an operator. "The whole concept is that if the Scout takes fire, it's better than the soldier," Brock told Fox News Digital during the demonstration. The Army's new autonomous systems command is part of a wider Pentagon effort to organize around unmanned warfare, while War Secretary Pete Hegseth said at AUSA this week that the department is working toward a four-star-led Autonomous Warfare Command. Obadal predicted an "immense number" of drones and counter-UAS systems at the show, saying their prevalence reflected procurement and budget priorities across the Pentagon. Ukraine, he said, had "cemented" counter-UAS as a critical part of modern operations. The Army is reorganizing around that reality. This month it announced a new Futures and Autonomous Systems Command tasked with accelerating autonomous capabilities across formations including aviation, armor, fires, sustainment and reconnaissance. At AUSA, the service also expanded drone and counter-drone marketplaces designed to allow the U.S. and its allies to purchase pre-approved systems in days rather than months. US MILITARY BASES ARE ‘ILL-EQUIPPED’ TO STOP DRONE SWARMS, TOP COMMANDER REVEALS AFTER RUBIO'S UAP WARNING For Brock, one of the clearest lessons from the recent war with Iran was the sheer number of threats defenses could be forced to confront. "It's more about mass," he said. "So we have to make these affordable, low cost, returnable systems, and we have to produce this to scale." Ondas has rapidly expanded its own role in that push. Its Mistral subsidiary has secured more than $240 million in orders under the Army's $982 million Lethal Unmanned Systems contract, including an additional order worth more than $50 million announced in August. The company also acquired DZYNE Technologies this summer in a deal valued at roughly $875 million, adding a portfolio of drones and counter-drone weapons that includes the IonStrike kinetic interceptor and handheld Dronebuster demonstrated for Fox News Digital at AUSA. INSIDE AMERICA'S LASER REVOLUTION AS THE MILITARY NEARS BIG BATTLEFIELD BREAKTHROUGH IonStrike is designed to physically intercept incoming drones, including Shahed-class one-way attack drones. Brock said newer versions of the threat are becoming faster and increasingly difficult for defenses built around earlier, slower drones to defeat. "The faster moving [Shaheds] now need more autonomous systems," Brock said during a demonstration of the interceptor. "So this system is designed to be very fast." The system uses onboard guidance to pursue a detected threat and is designed to be deployed in numbers when multiple drones are approaching. But no single weapon can address the growing range of unmanned threats. Ondas also demonstrated its handheld Dronebuster, which uses electronic warfare to jam or spoof communications and navigation links rather than physically destroying an incoming drone. The company recently unveiled a longer-range version under contract for delivery to the Office of Naval Research for testing and evaluation. Those tools illustrate the increasingly layered approach to counter-drone warfare: electronic attack may be enough against one type of drone, while another operating without a vulnerable radio link could require a physical interceptor. And each adaptation can prompt another. Brock pointed to Ukraine, where defenders have developed increasingly effective ways to counter the Shahed-type drones Russia has used in attacks across the country. Russia and its suppliers, in turn, have worked to make those weapons faster and harder to stop. That rapid cycle is putting pressure on a Pentagon acquisition system historically accustomed to developing major weapons over years or decades. The Army used AUSA itself to hunt for more affordable interceptor technology, offering up to $20 million through a competition focused on defeating air and missile threats at a more sustainable cost. The challenge is also moving beyond individual drones and interceptors. Ondas has partnered with Palantir on software aimed at connecting sensors, drones, robotic platforms and command systems so they can operate as part of a larger autonomous network. Its SkyWeaver system uses Palantir-powered AI as part of an architecture designed to link intelligence, mission planning and autonomous operations across multiple domains. "We're moving from each platform being individually autonomous platforms to mission autonomy," Brock said. That could mean connecting intelligence gathered by high-altitude balloons and long-endurance unmanned aircraft with smaller drones, ground systems and other sensors closer to the fight, including in environments where traditional communications are degraded. For Brock, keeping pace will increasingly depend on whether the U.S. can manufacture autonomous weapons and defenses in the numbers a future conflict could demand. "I think that's the bigger challenge," Brock said. "Technology is not really a challenge. We can build fast interceptors. We can build autonomy. That technology is there. It's ready." "Can we produce this en masse as our adversaries are?" Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad4964d75342cf4db91bec8 5 Takeaways From The Times’s Re-Examination of the O.J.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad48ced75342cf4db91bdeb Becoming a lawyer could get cheaper and faster under looming Trump admin shakeup te 2026-10-18T09:10:05.312Z Becoming a lawyer could get cheaper and faster under looming Trump admin shakeup The Trump administration is expected to decide by late December whether to strip the American Bar Association’s (ABA) law school accrediting arm of federal recognition, a move that would not automatically end the ABA’s accreditation of law schools or change state bar-admission rules but could accelerate states’ efforts to approve alternative paths to becoming a lawyer. Two legal education experts told Fox News Digital that while most law students would be unlikely to lose access to federal loans if the ABA's accrediting arm loses recognition, the decision could accelerate a broader shift away from the organization's longstanding dominance over legal education, with states increasingly exploring alternative accreditation pathways that could change how law schools operate and who qualifies to practice law. "I think the biggest thing is, everyone should know that the federal recognition of the ABA is just the first step," Adam Biggs, general counsel of the University of Austin, told Fox News Digital. "If they get knocked off their perch, that's going to supercharge the conversations of these state supreme courts to create alternative pathways that are not just the ABA." The looming decision follows a September vote by the National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity (NACIQI), the federal panel that advises the Education Department on accreditation matters, which remained deadlocked over whether to recommend renewing the ABA's federal accreditation recognition. Education Department staff have already recommended denying renewal, and now the decision rests in the hands of Under Secretary of Education Nicholas Kent to rule on whether the ABA's accrediting arm can retain its federally recognized status, which it has held since 1952. AI BACKLASH REACHES MAJOR UNIVERSITY WITH BOLD BAN ON LAPTOPS AND PHONES FOR LAW STUDENTS The ABA has long served as the primary gatekeeper for legal education in the United States, with most states requiring graduates to have attended an ABA-accredited law school to qualify for the bar exam. Although losing federal recognition would not automatically end that arrangement, critics argue it could accelerate efforts already underway in some states to recognize alternative law school approval systems, potentially allowing institutions to experiment with cheaper, shorter programs outside the ABA’s traditional accreditation model. One such alternative is taking shape in Texas, where Biggs is helping develop a new law school at the University of Austin (UATX) that would operate without ABA accreditation. The university is considering a two-year law program or a model that combines undergraduate and legal studies. It plans to make tuition free and avoid federal funding altogether. The proposed school could also depart from traditional law school staffing models by relying more heavily on practicing attorneys and federal judges as adjunct instructors, rather than maintaining the extensive full-time faculty structure that Biggs says ABA accreditation standards require and that can pose a high bar for institutions. Biggs argued that the ABA's longstanding influence over legal education has discouraged such experimentation by imposing what he described as a "one size fits all elitist model of education," which he said drives up costs and limits schools' ability to offer alternative approaches to training future lawyers. DUKE LAW'S ALLEGED RACE-BASED ADMISSIONS ACCUSED OF DEFYING SUPREME COURT RULING: DOJ "Right now, the model they force makes it impossible to cut overhead, and it's going to be an expensive product," Biggs said, criticizing the ABA's accreditation requirements. "That makes the decision for you. Because you need to live in a big city to go work at a firm to pay off your massive amount of debt." Biggs added that reducing the cost of legal education could help address attorney shortages in rural and underserved communities, where graduates carrying substantial student debt may struggle to pursue lower-paying legal work. Allowing law schools to operate with less overhead, he said, could give new attorneys greater flexibility to serve those communities and potentially make legal services more affordable. The ABA faculty requirements criticized by Biggs are also facing scrutiny from the Justice Department, which has threatened an antitrust investigation over restrictions on adjunct professors teaching core law school courses. In an Oct. 7 letter, Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward gave the ABA 15 days to revise or justify its rules, arguing that the requirements restrict competition and contribute to higher tuition costs, The Wall Street Journal reported. The emergence of alternative accreditation pathways could offer aspiring lawyers new opportunities, but also introduce complications for graduates hoping to practice in states other than where they attended law school. While the federal government determines which accrediting agencies it recognizes for federal purposes, state supreme courts generally set their own bar-admission requirements. Many states currently require graduation from an ABA-accredited law school, a requirement that would not automatically disappear if the ABA loses its federal recognition. TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ACCUSES PRESTIGIOUS LAW SCHOOL OF FAVORING BLACK APPLICANTS OVER WHITE, ASIAN PEERS That means graduates of schools approved through alternative state-level processes, such as the one UATX hopes to pursue in Texas, could qualify for the bar in their home state but face additional hurdles elsewhere. Biggs predicted that as more states adopt alternative pathways, others could face pressure to reconsider their requirements. "Eventually there's gonna be a very large group of states that are not ABA or nothing," Biggs said, predicting that states such as New York and Illinois would eventually have to confront the issue. "They're gonna have to come to the table and try to figure out how portability is gonna work." Several states have already begun loosening the ABA's longstanding hold over legal education. In January, Texas became the first state to end its exclusive reliance on ABA accreditation for bar eligibility, with the state Supreme Court assuming authority to approve qualifying law schools. Florida followed nine days later, adopting its own approach to recognizing law schools outside the traditional ABA system. The movement has since extended to other states. Ohio's Supreme Court proposed changes in May to establish a state-run law school approval process, while courts in Tennessee, Alabama and Washington have also taken steps toward reducing their reliance on the ABA, as Fox News Digital previously reported. ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT TUITION PERKS PUT 4 STATES IN TRUMP DOJ CROSSHAIRS The potential consequences for federal student loans, meanwhile, may be far more limited. Biggs explained that most law schools are affiliated with larger universities that maintain their own institutional accreditation, allowing students to access federal aid without relying exclusively on the ABA's recognition. "So unless you are a freestanding law school that only relies on the ABA, your students are gonna be fine," Biggs said. Sarah Parshall Perry, attorney and vice president of nonprofit Defending Education, similarly told Fox News Digital that the more immediate federal-aid concerns would fall on standalone law schools that rely on the ABA's federal recognition rather than a parent university's institutional accreditation. Perry estimated that roughly 15 standalone law schools could potentially face federal funding complications if the ABA loses its recognition. Beyond the immediate financial implications, Perry argued that loosening the ABA's grip on legal education could bring more fundamental changes to what law schools teach and how they prepare students for the profession. TRUMP'S JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SUES NEW YORK, OTHER BLUE STATES OVER TUITION FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS "These law students are actually going to get a better education," Perry argued. "Because we get the ABA meddling away from curricular inclusions, and we get them away from race mandates in admissions and in hiring and promotions, we get back to ground zero on making excellent lawyers." "I don't care what color my attorney is if I get in a car crash. I am very concerned that he recognizes principles of contract law and insurance liability. That's what matters most," she added. The ABA's accrediting council has already moved to roll back some of its DEI requirements amid concern the federal government could strip its accrediting status. In September, the council voted 10-6 to repeal Standard 206, which had required law schools to demonstrate a commitment to diversity and inclusion among students, faculty and staff. SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER Education Department officials previously told Fox News Digital that staff had recommended denying the organization's renewed recognition after finding it out of compliance with more than 26 federal recognition criteria, including concerns about the accrediting council's independence from the broader ABA membership and advocacy activities. The ABA has disputed the Department's findings and defended the independence of its accrediting council. Even if the administration ultimately revokes federal recognition, the organization could continue accrediting law schools, leaving states to decide whether to maintain their longstanding reliance on ABA approval or embrace alternative pathways as some have already started doing. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad48cec75342cf4db91bde2 Mamdani praised over move to dismantle controversial NYC industry — but insiders say there’s more to the story te 2026-10-18T09:10:04.310Z Mamdani praised over move to dismantle controversial NYC industry — but insiders say there’s more to the story A century-old tradition is on the line in New York City, and horse carriage drivers are speaking out about who will ultimately pay the price if Mayor Zohran Mamdani succeeds in ending the iconic industry. Mamdani and City Council Speaker Julie Menin announced Tuesday that they had reached a deal to phase out horse-drawn carriages in the Big Apple, with a vote expected next week on a bill that would ban carriage operations beginning in June 2028. A longtime source of controversy, the horse-drawn carriages lined up at Central Park to take families and tourists for rides are at the center of a public safety debate after 18-year-old Romanch Mahajan was killed from a fall in June. The bill was later renamed "Romanch’s Law." Animal rights activists have targeted the industry, accusing carriage drivers of mistreating horses and even heckling some on the streets over concerns about proper care, food and water. Viral videos of horses collapsing and escaping into traffic have prompted calls to terminate the industry for good. MAN KILLED AFTER HORSE-DRAWN CARRIAGE BOLTS AND FLIPS NEAR POPULAR NEW YORK CITY TOURIST DESTINATION But Fox News Digital spoke to leaders in the industry who pushed back on the criticisms and argued that the New York City tradition is being unfairly maligned, and that livelihoods will be destroyed thanks to Mamdani's efforts. "You have pedicabs flying around, so why are they permitted to have a business?" Frank Riccobono, owner and manager of NYC Horse Carriage Rides, told Fox News Digital. "And now a 168-year-old tradition, attraction is being forced to surrender, which is very taboo. I want my investment to stay there for the next 20 years, 50 years, 100." Riccobono, who owns 12 horses and three carriages, said raising horses is like raising a child, and that "non-horse people" will never understand that bond. "I had horses give birth in front of me," he said. "I've owned their mom and I have their baby and it's like taking a child away from me." The bill would not take the horses away from their owners. Owners could keep, sell or transfer them as long as they are not sent to slaughter, another carriage business or an "inhumane purposes," but Riccobono could no longer use his horses for carriage rides in the city. He called the criticism "brainwashing," adding his horses receive "the most perfect lifestyle" and regularly see certified veterinarians. "That's what this bill shows," he said. "It shows they're trying to criminalize us because a horse is working." Riccobono said he will also lose a huge investment after purchasing a medallion for nearly $400,000. Medallions are licenses that allow horse carriage drivers to legally operate in New York City. "I am going to take a very, very big loss here and there's no reimbursement in this bill," he said. MAMDANI, CITY COUNCIL MOVE TO END ICONIC NYC HORSE-DRAWN CARRIAGE INDUSTRY AS WORKERS FACE UNCERTAIN FUTURE The ban means much more than just losing a business, according to Riccobono, who said it threatens a family legacy with horses spanning generations. Riccobono has spent more than two decades driving horse-drawn carriages after falling in love with the career through his father, who spent 47 years in the business. "I have a father that has medical conditions," he said. "I have colleagues that are on dialysis. These people rely on these medallions for income, for retirement. But they're trying to strip this away from us and they don't even know how much they're gonna give us." Riccobono’s wife, Natalie, said that without her husband’s income, the family will not be able to "sustain what we have right now." "By taking away these businesses from us, they are literally taking food off of our table and possibly a shelter from over our heads," she said. However, what comes next remains up in the air to drivers who say their voices have been left unheard. Mamdani, who has made waves with his socialist agenda, and Menin have vowed to help the city’s roughly 200 carriage drivers transition into new jobs. MAMDANI'S LATEST FREEBIE SETS OFF ONLINE FURY AS CRITICS RIP CITY PRIORITIES: 'OPERA SOCIALISM' "I think that we have a civic responsibility to ensure that we are not leaving anybody out to dry," Mamdani told reporters Wednesday. "They should not be ones that are simply left as an afterthought of what comes after this." Christina Hansen, a veteran New York City horse carriage driver and Transport Workers Union (TWU) Local 100 shop steward, told Fox News Digital drivers have yet to hear directly from Mamdani and are being treated "as if we don't matter, as if we don't count." "The only cruelty in the New York City carriage industry has always been the way that the people in it, the way the carriage drivers and carriage owners and stable owners are treated," she said. In a statement to Fox News Digital, a spokesperson for Menin said she will remain involved in the transition that "must include meaningful protections for the workers" and said she invited TWU and the administration to join a new working group. "Through thoughtful conversations with labor and other stakeholders, the Council developed a framework to ensure better economic opportunities for these New Yorkers," she said. With the city anticipating the horses will go to rescues or sanctuaries, Hansen warned those facilities already struggle to care for the horses they have because of declining donations and a lack of resources. Once the national attention fades, Hansen worries the horses could be left behind. "There's no funding from the city or anything like that to say, we're going to make sure that, you know, the city pays for the horse's retirement," she said. MAMDANI PLEDGES MILLIONS TO COMBAT ANTISEMITISM WHILE LEAVING KEY QUESTION UNRESOLVED This isn't the first time carriage drivers have feared the industry could disappear. Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio pledged to ban horse-drawn carriages after taking office in 2014 and backed vintage-style electric cars as an alternative. The effort, like others over the years, failed. Hansen encouraged Mamdani to sit down for lunch with the drivers or meet their horses to get a different perspective. "He hasn't and he probably won't, because he'd get so much blowback on social media or whatever," Hansen said. Riccobono said the fight doesn’t end here and he will continue pushing back on the "unconstitutional" bill. "We're gonna fight for our rights, number one, we're gonna fight for our horses, and we're gonna fight for fairness and justice," he said. Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdani's offices for comment. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad4813475342cf4db91bcbd Liberal-city resident hesitates when pressed on beliefs: 'I hadn't really thought about socialism that way' te 2026-10-18T08:20:04.714Z Liberal-city resident hesitates when pressed on beliefs: 'I hadn't really thought about socialism that way' PORTLAND, Maine — Americans who were asked for their opinions of socialism by Fox News Digital offered sharply different interpretations of the ideology, with some embracing its promises of economic equality while others expressed strong reservations about government control over the means of production. Fox News Digital took to the streets of Maine's largest city, a progressive bastion, to talk to residents about their definitions of socialism and how far they would be willing to go to embrace its ideals. The topic of socialism has featured prominently in campaign coverage during this midterm election cycle, as candidates backed by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) scored high-profile victories over more centrist rivals in a slew of Democratic primaries this year. DSA's outsized influence has been a driving force in the ballot box battle for the Democratic Party's ideological future. LIBERAL HOTSPOT RESIDENTS CAN'T AGREE ON WHAT SOCIALISM MEANS A new Fox News national poll indicates 32% of voters have a favorable view of socialism, with 64% seeing it in an unfavorable way. But the favorable rating matches an all-time high, first reached five years ago, since Fox News first began asking the question in 2019. And a September Gallup poll found that 43% of Americans had a positive image of socialism, the highest level since the polling organization began tracking the question in 2010. Lewis, a retired Navy veteran, said socialism was a good thing because it "looks out for people's needs.... and it's not communism." Socialism and communism both emphasize collective ownership of the means of production, such as factories, businesses and major industries. But socialism encompasses a range of approaches, including those that allow private enterprise, while communism traditionally envisions the abolition of private ownership of productive assets and, ultimately, a classless society. CHECK OUT THE LATEST FOX NEWS NATIONAL POLL Lewis turned skeptical when Fox News Digital asked whether he would personally surrender private property to government or collective control. "I guess. I hadn't really thought about socialism that way. I think about taking care of the needs of people, you know, things like... national health care, things like that," he answered. "I don't like government taking things away from you." Nolan, who recently moved to Portland, told Fox News Digital "there's a lot of wealth imbalance in America right now, and we could benefit from some sort of leveling system." He said socialism exists to help "people who aren't as, you know, benefiting in society." Nolan added that "business owners should have their autonomy" and that "people deserve to earn their money." "But there are a lot of really high-end... corporations that benefit so much... that really don't need that much wealth... there's so much exorbitant wealth at the top end that a lot of that could trickle down to people who are disadvantaged and don't have homes," Nolan stated. SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER Nola, another resident passing through Portland's Monument Square, said socialism's "a good thing. It means equity." Asked about the takeover of businesses and means of production under socialism, Nola said she still "100%" supported socialism. "I'm the daughter of a small business owner. I've seen how tough it is to run a small business in this country and how easy it is for corporations to just do whatever they want," she explained. "So if we gave actually back to small businesses and the government helped them out... and so much of the market that's privatized actually became public, I think... with how big the U.S. has gotten, it's only a good thing." Ted disagreed. "Socialism overall, I think it's a horrible idea," he emphasized. "If we can learn from history, anything from history, we see that it's gonna really give way too much power to the government institution. It's gonna... make things that are harmful overall for everyone... it's like it's dictatorship." Ted argued that "socialism just impoverishes. Capitalism, the free market economy is a good thing." He added that while "some people are very wealthy and very greedy," that overall capitalism "creates other wealth for other people." The new Fox News poll found that 51% of voters had a favorable view of capitalism, compared with 32% who viewed socialism favorably. Another 46% had an unfavorable view of capitalism.

Among the deportees were illegal aliens identified as pedophiles, violent assailants, drug traffickers, drunk drivers, burglars, and gang members. DHS quoted Mullin in a press release as saying that these latest deportation flights out of Phoenix are part of this administration’s continued promise to mass deport illegal aliens. “The American people voted for mass deportations, and that’s exactly what we’re giving them. Under President Trump’s leadership, we are removing dangerous illegals like these from our communities and from our country every single day,” said Mullin. “We will not stop until we have deported as many illegals as possible, so that we can make America safe again.” Friday’s deportees included: Jaime Velasquez Orozco, convicted in the past of child sexual abuse, attempted rape, domestic abuse, burglary, battery, driving under the influence, hit-and-run, and drug possession.  Jiovany Baray-Acosta, convicted in the past of driving under the influence with a minor in the car, drug possession, illegal weapon possession, and kidnapping. Noe Ochoa Torres, convicted in the past of child abuse, sexual assault of a child, and drug possession. Luis Antonio Vasquez Encinas, convicted in the past of attempted sexual exploitation of a minor under 15. German Garcia-Ordonez, convicted in the past of assault and battery in the presence of a minor. Filiberto Preciado-Gamboa, a gang member convicted in the past of domestic abuse, drug possession, and shoplifting.  Jose Cruz Estrada, convicted in the past of domestic abuse, terroristic threats, driving while intoxicated, and evading arrest. Rolando Carbajal Villegas, convicted in the past of driving while intoxicated and assault. Octavio Felipe-Olivera, convicted in the past of driving under the influence and disturbing the peace. DHS reported last December that more than 2.5 million illegal aliens have left the country since Trump took office in January of last year. Of those exits, more than 600,000 were reportedly formal deportations and approximately 1.9 million were voluntary self-deportations.  Approximately 10 million illegal aliens reside within the country.  DHS and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) also announced on Friday that the preliminary data for this fiscal year indicate a 95% drop in southwest border apprehensions compared to the last administration, along with what they allege to be the “lowest annual encounters in American history and the first-ever fiscal year with zero Border Patrol releases.” According to CBP, encounters of illegal aliens along the southwest border have dropped from an average 177,000 encounters per month during the final year of President Joe Biden’s administration to about 11,000 encounters per month under President Donald Trump. In CBP’s 2026 fiscal year — which runs from October 2025 through September 2026 — there have been just over 128,000 encounters. Under Trump’s first month in office, monthly encounters dropped by about 20%. AZ Free News is your #1 source for Arizona news and politics. You can send us news tips using this link.

Additional video obtained shows 3 hours of activity… pic.twitter.com/EqoOzQR9TY — We the People USA Alliance (@WethePeopleAZA1) October 9, 2026 The FBI confirmed it investigated Heap’s complaint and found no evidence of wrongdoing.  A week later, on Wednesday, Board Chair Kate Brophy McGee and Vice Chair Debbie Lesko responded to the viral footage with a joint statement denying that the election workers had performed unauthorized work, and said that it wasn’t unusual for employees to work outside traditional business hours in the weeks preceding and following an election. McGee and Lesko explained that the employees updated software on the ballot duplication system and uploaded election data files to a computer terminal not connected to the internet or ballot tabulation equipment.  After issuing that statement, Brophy McGee spoke with media outlets to criticize Heap for contacting federal authorities.  “Public employees who work in elections already face public threats and intimidation, but it is disgusting that Recorder Heap and his team would add to this climate of fear by referring to the FBI our hardworking county employees who were simply doing their jobs,” said Brophy McGee.  Judy Keane, Heap’s spokeswoman, said the recorder has a duty to request an investigation into any suspicious activity involving elections. “Suspicious activity occurring within logic and accuracy tested facilities late at night should always be investigated by those with the power to do so. Any notion that it shouldn’t is irresponsible and fails to maintain the highest of standards for Arizona elections,” said Keane.  Supervisor Thomas Galvin called Heap “inept” for notifying authorities of his concerns, and accused him of being a “puppet” of Shelby Busch, the local grassroots activist with We the People AZ who contacted Heap’s office with concerns about the livestream footage. Lesko accused the recorder’s office of attacking “innocent election workers.” Galvin also implied there would be repercussions for those who assisted Heap with contacting the FBI.  “Heap worked w[ith] bad grifting hombres to target one of the BOS’ employees. If any other public official enabled Heap’s latest circus act then there’s Hell to pay,” said Galvin.  Sam Stone, Heap’s chief of staff, later posted on X to reveal that he called the FBI and the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office about the after-hours work. Stone said that it was important for public trust in elections to seek an assessment from an official third party, rather than insisting the public rely on the county’s word. “Did I think anything nefarious was at play in this situation? No,” said Stone. “[But] when questions about potentially fraudulent activity in an election come to light the proper reaction is not for the organization at hand to clear themselves, but to bring in an appropriate outside investigative agency to do it.” Galvin called Stone “one of the amoral amoebas” within Heap’s office and accused him of “spinning [his] latest stunt.” Stone, in return, accused Galvin of lying.  “[Y]our ‘proof’ there was no wrongdoing in this case is the word of the same team that created the controversy,” said Stone. “You are a crap lawyer, a liar, and unfit for public office.” AZ Free News is your #1 source for Arizona news and politics.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad4732b75342cf4db91bb7d Federal Interest Payments Could Consume More Than Half Of Tax Revenue By 2036 te 2026-10-18T07:20:11.443Z Federal Interest Payments Could Consume More Than Half Of Tax Revenue By 2036 By Ethan Faverino | Federal interest payments could consume more than half of federal tax revenue by 2036, as rising borrowing costs and mounting national debt threaten the nation’s long-term fiscal stability, according to a new report from Congress’ Joint Economic Committee (JEC). The report, titled Federal Interest Spending Could Now Exceed Half of Available Tax Receipts in Ten Years, warns that higher interest rates could significantly increase the federal government’s debt-servicing costs, placing additional pressure on the federal budget over the next decade. According to the JEC, net interest payments could account for 55.4% of federal receipts excluding payroll taxes by 2036 under a higher-interest-rate scenario, compared to 38.1% under the Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO) baseline projections. The findings come as the national debt has surpassed $40 trillion, with approximately $32.4 trillion held by the public at the end of fiscal year 2026. Interest payments could consume 55 percent of federal receipts excluding payroll taxes by 2036.Under CBO's higher-rate scenario, net interest spending would reach 55.4 percent of available tax receipts by 2036, compared with 38.1 percent under CBO's baseline projection. Even… — Joint Economic Committee Republicans (@JECRepublicans) October 15, 2026 “We are rapidly approaching a fiscal reality where more than half of federal receipts outside of payroll taxes could go toward servicing our debt by 2036,” stated JEC Chairman and Arizona Congressman David Schweikert (R-AZ-01). “Under this higher interest rate scenario, we could spend $23 trillion on interest alone over the next decade. That is spending not on Social Security, not on Medicare, not on national defense, but simply paying for yesterday’s borrowing,” Schweikert added. According to the JEC, the yield on 10-year Treasury notes increased from approximately 4.2% in February to 5.2% on October 1, 2026. The increase reflects higher federal borrowing costs, raising concerns that interest rates could remain above earlier projections and place additional pressure on the federal budget. The report draws on a recent CBO analysis examining how higher interest rates could affect federal deficits, debt, and borrowing costs between 2026 and 2036. Under a scenario in which interest rates remain 1.5 percentage points above the CBO’s February 2026 baseline projections, cumulative federal deficits would increase by approximately $6 trillion over the next decade. Even under a less severe scenario in which interest rates remain 0.5 percentage points above the CBO’s baseline projections, cumulative federal deficits would increase by approximately $1.9 trillion through 2036, highlighting the federal government’s growing sensitivity to borrowing costs. Of the projected $6 trillion increase under the higher-rate scenario, approximately $4.9 trillion would result directly from higher interest costs, while an additional $1.1 trillion would come from borrowing needed to finance those increased payments. The JEC estimates that total net interest spending could reach $23.2 trillion through 2036 under the higher-rate scenario, compared to approximately $17.2 trillion under the CBO’s baseline projections. The report also highlights the federal government’s exposure to rising borrowing costs as existing debt matures. Approximately $10 trillion in marketable Treasury debt is expected to mature within the next year, potentially requiring refinancing at higher interest rates. Under the higher-rate scenario, annual federal interest spending would grow by an average of 10.8% over the next decade, significantly exceeding projected annual economic growth of 3.9%. “When interest costs are growing nearly three times faster than the economy, the math becomes impossible to ignore,” stated Schweikert. “Every dollar we borrow makes us more vulnerable to higher interest rates and leaves fewer resources for everything else. We are approaching a debt spiral that could become mathematically impossible to escape and the window to avert a full-blown fiscal crisis is rapidly closing.” The CBO further estimates that debt held by the public could reach 133.1% of gross domestic product (GDP) by 2036 under the higher-rate scenario, compared to 120.2% under its baseline projections. The JEC warned that without significant reductions in federal spending, rising interest obligations could leave Congress facing increasingly difficult decisions involving higher taxes, reduced government spending, or additional borrowing to meet existing financial obligations.

BYU pulled off an upset over Notre Dame — but social media seems to think the game may not have actually been over. Thanks to the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs losing at home to Auburn, No. 2 Notre Dame had a chance to take over the top spot with a win. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Unfortunately, they would have to do that on the road against the Big 12's top team, the unbeaten No. 8 BYU Cougars. And, to make matters worse, the Fighting Irish were without one of their best defensive players almost immediately. On BYU's first series, defensive lineman Boubacar Traore was called for targeting on a hit on BYU quarterback Bear Bachmeier. That was a costly penalty for a team that doesn't take a lot of them, and the Cougars made them pay. They marched downfield — even forcing Notre Dame to burn a timeout — with Bachmeier finding the end zone to open the scoring. Notre Dame hit a field goal in the first quarter and then found the end zone in the second with running back Nolan James Jr. hitting paydirt to give them a 10-7 lead. However, BYU had more, particularly a trick play that saw Bachmeier trotting into the end zone with the help of a blocker. Then, as if that wasn't enough, Bachmeier scored another touchdown using his legs just before the half, and with the extra point, that gave BYU a 21-10 lead. However, there was still enough time for Notre Dame to get another possession, and with just nine seconds on the clock, the Fighting Irish found themselves on the BYU 5-yard line. Notre Dame QB CJ Carr attempted to spike the ball, but he never had total control of it, and upon review, it was ruled a fumble, with the Irish leaving points on the table and forking over possession. Notre Dame battled back in the second half, and eventually found themselves up by a field goal. BYU responded when Bachmeier — who had already shown he can find the end zone as a rusher and receiver — threw his first passing touchdown of the game by finding tight end Walker Lyons with just under two minutes left in regulation. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! That gave BYU a four-point lead and meant Notre Dame couldn't settle for a field goal. The Irish converted on a crucial fourth-and-2 to keep their drive alive, but after failing to get into the end zone, they found themselves facing fourth-and-five with ten seconds remaining. They managed to convert with four seconds on the clock, setting up the final play of the game. There was some contact on that one, but no flags. That'll frustrate Notre Dame fans, but not as much as this will. Uh... not that again. The field had been stormed, and both teams had headed to the locker room before that started making the rounds on social media. Nonetheless, what a game. That ended Notre Dame's 16-game winning streak and is one of several outcomes that are going to shake up the rankings and CFP picture in a big, big way. Notre Dame will take a week off and then get back at it against Navy, while the Cougars will keep chugging along with a visit to Orlando to take on the UCF Knights.

The Tampa Bay Rays tied the ALCS at two games apiece, winning Game 4 over the Cleveland Guardians 7-3. The Guardians got on the board early, as Chase DeLauter drove in Steven Kwan with an RBI single in the first. But Cleveland's offense was quiet after that. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Tampa Bay got the run back with a two-out rally in the third — Yandy Diaz doubled, and then Jonathan Aranda drove him in to tie the game. In the sixth inning, Junior Caminero smoked an RBI double with runners on first and second and none out to give the Rays a 2-1 lead, but they squandered an opportunity to tack on more. The Rays began the next frame with runners on second and third, no outs and the top of their order at the plate. Diaz struck out, but Aranda brought both of the runs in to give Tampa Bay a 4-1 lead. He would score on a sac fly two batters later. BREWERS FAN CASHING IN ON 'TIMELESS TICKET' PURCHASE FOR 2026 WORLD SERIES SEAT Cleveland was able to cut the deficit in half in the bottom half of the frame and even got the lead run to the plate but couldn't take full advantage. In the top of the ninth, Diaz added some huge insurance runs with a two-out, two-run jack that DeLauter just missed robbing. Any lead is comfortable for All-Star closer Bryan Baker, but four runs was a walk in the park. He got a double play after a leadoff single, and he struck out Angel Martinez to end the game. No team has won back-to-back games this series. The series was postponed due to weather on Friday night, pushing both Games 4 and 5 back one day each. Game 6 will be played on Monday as normally scheduled, but there are no more scheduled off days this series. Game 5 is Sunday at 5:08 p.m. ET.

Jaylen Brown arrived in Philadelphia as the centerpiece of a blockbuster trade, while LeBron James later chose the Sixers after considering several teams in free agency this offseason. Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid have spent their entire NBA careers in Philadelphia. Some have questioned whether the 76ers can keep all of their stars satisfied this season, but Embiid believes the team can succeed without forcing its stars to make major sacrifices or drastically alter their playing styles. "I'm against the concept of sacrificing," Embiid said after Friday's preseason finale. "I think the way I explained it was you do what you do best, and we're going to support you. ... I don't think anybody has to take a back seat." LEBRON JAMES ADMITS HE NEARLY JOINED THE KNICKS BEFORE JALEN BRUNSON WON THE NBA TITLE WITHOUT HIM Four of Philadelphia’s stars took the court in the 76ers’ preseason finale Friday, while emerging star VJ Edgecombe sat out. The exhibition nonetheless offered a glimpse of what Nick Nurse’s team could look like when the regular season begins next week. Embiid, in particular, looked to already be in midseason form Friday night, finishing with 27 points, eight rebounds and a highlight-reel-worthy dunk. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE The Boston Celtics held on for a 125-120 overtime win to close out both teams’ preseason schedules. The Sixers’ star-laden lineup looked out of sync at times, with Brown pointing to spacing issues as a factor in some of the turnovers, an area Philadelphia still has time to smooth out. LEBRON JAMES’ 76ERS DEBUT SET FOR BLOCKBUSTER KNICKS SHOWDOWN AT MSG "We're not where we want to be yet," he said. "So that's just a part of it. It's a part of coming together, a new group with a bunch of guys, different style, but we just got to keep getting better every day." James struck a similar tone to Brown, although neither seemed concerned about the Sixers’ ability to come together. "We're getting there," James said. "I mean, obviously we are a couple of weeks in, so we're still working on our rhythm, working on our kinks, and it's not going to be perfect."

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad433e075342cf4db91a96b Top takeaways from JD Vance town hall: Costly gas, DC corruption, immigration hot takes and the war te 2026-10-18T02:50:08.652Z Top takeaways from JD Vance town hall: Costly gas, DC corruption, immigration hot takes and the war Vice President JD Vance faced questions from Michigan voters during a town hall in Flat Rock as the state emerges as a key battleground in the fight for Senate control in November's midterms. The town hall hosted by CBS News came just weeks before the midterm elections as Republicans are fighting to keep their majorities in the House and Senate. Vying for the open Senate seat in Michigan is Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed and Republican candidate Mike Rogers, a former member of the House of Representatives. Here are the top moments from the town hall: The first question Vance fielded Saturday came from a 43-year-old Detroit barber, who asked him why gas prices remain significantly higher than during Trump's first term. Vance first pointed to Iran’s attacks on commercial shipping and the resulting disruption to global energy markets, but he also placed blame on the Biden administration. "That's actually the biggest reason why gas prices are so high, because when Joe Biden was president, we had about 20% of American refining capacity that went offline," Vance said. Vance said the Trump administration was using the Defense Production Act to help restore domestic refining capacity, but cautioned that rebuilding that infrastructure would take time. CBS News anchor Tony Dokoupil pushed back on Vance's attempts to blame Biden, noting that Trump and Vance have been in office for nearly two years while Americans continued to face high gas prices. MORNING GLORY: PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE AMERICAN MILITARY HAVE BEATEN IRAN Dokoupil shifted the conversation to government corruption, citing a Fox News poll showing that 60% of voters were extremely concerned about the issue. He asked Vance whether anything he had witnessed inside the Trump White House made him feel "squeamish." "You certainly see evidence of corruption in Washington, D.C. Do I see evidence of corruption from the president of the United States, from the administration? No, Tony, I just don’t," Vance said. The exchange came days after Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned as U.S. ambassador to Greece amid allegations that she sought $100,000 from a donor seeking access to Trump administration officials. Guilfoyle has denied wrongdoing. Dokoupil pressed Vance on the allegations involving Guilfoyle, along with concerns about restrictions on IRS scrutiny of Trump's tax returns and the president's cryptocurrency earnings. Vance said selling access to the White House would be "disgusting and despicable" and that anyone responsible should face consequences. Dokoupil then asked whether Vance would comply with subpoenas investigating alleged corruption if Democrats took control of Congress in January. "Of course, of course I will," Vance said. "Look, we follow the law. I follow the law." KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE FACES POTENTIAL SENATE PROBE OVER BOMBSHELL $100K ALLEGATION Vance was confronted over his immigration rhetoric by a naturalized U.S. citizen who said she voted for the vice president but questioned why the administration was "scapegoating immigrants." The voter, who immigrated to the United States 20 years ago, challenged Vance over his characterization of certain H-1B visa workers as "foreign indentured servants." "To the extent that my rhetoric has been imperfect here, that's on me," Vance said. But Vance defended his remarks, arguing that his criticism was aimed at companies exploiting foreign workers rather than immigrants themselves. He said the H-1B visa system gives employers too much power over foreign workers whose ability to remain in the country depends on their employment, while also allowing companies to replace American workers with visa holders. "That's not a criticism of the H-1B visa holder. That's a criticism of a company who brings a person in, who sometimes will literally lay off an American worker," Vance said. Dokoupil pressed Vance on whether his rhetoric and that of the Trump administration dehumanized immigrants. "My goal here is not to dehumanize any immigrant. And in fact, I love a number of immigrants," Vance said. But Vance argued that allowing too many immigrants into the country too quickly could undermine social cohesion and fundamentally change American communities. "I have neighbors, I have friends of mine who literally don't know a single person in their neighborhood who speaks the language they do," Vance said. "I don't think it's unreasonable for an American citizen to want to share their community with people they have something in common with." Though the town hall was pre-recorded, Vance took to X shortly after it aired to share footage from showing a burning building in France amid mass riots. He said what's unfolding in France is a cautionary tale for the United States. "Western liberals imported the third world into France and other countries in the name of diversity and compassion. They ignored fundamental questions of assimilation and compatibility," Vance posted on X. "They were told it would lead to this and they didn't listen. I pray that France, a beautiful country of amazing people, will stop this madness before more of its landmarks burn," Vance continued. Dokoupil pressed Vance on why the war with Iran had dragged on longer than the Trump administration anticipated, asking the vice president, "Why haven't we won decisively?" Vance argued that the U.S. had "in some ways" already won the war, claiming that American military strikes had successfully destroyed Iran's nuclear program, which he described as the central reason Trump launched the operation. "Have we destroyed the Iranian nuclear program? The answer is yes," Vance said. But Vance said the administration was still working to secure a "long-term" and "verifiable" commitment from Iran that it would not rebuild its nuclear capabilities, while also preventing Tehran from disrupting global energy supplies. Vance said the Iranians responded by terrorizing commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting global oil supplies and driving up gas prices. He claimed gas prices would be "three times as high" if it weren't for the U.S. Navy protecting commercial shipping through the waterway. VANCE TAKES AIM AT SOFT-ON-CRIME DEMS AS GOP FACES UPHILL MIDTERM BATTLE: ‘LOST THEIR MINDS’ Vance was also urged by a Michigan voter to condemn antisemitism within his own political base, including rhetoric from prominent conservative figures such as Tucker Carlson. The question came from Eddie Rubin, a lifelong Democrat whose 5-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son survived the attack at Temple Israel, which occurred in March in Michigan. The attacker, a Lebanese-born U.S. citizen, rammed his pickup truck through the synagogue's entrance before exchanging gunfire with security. The attacker was killed, but no children or synagogue staff members were injured. "I condemn anti-Semitism. I condemn Jew hatred," Vance said. But Vance also turned the conversation to Michigan's Senate race, criticizing Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed for his response to the synagogue attack. Vance pointed to El-Sayed's remark that "hurt people hurt people." "He went around and said, 'hurt people, hurt people', showing empathy, not with you and your family, which is where I think that we got to show empathy. But showing empathy to a guy who nearly killed hundreds of innocent children," Vance said. El-Sayed had condemned the attack and later apologized for his wording, saying he never intended to justify the violence.

El-Sayed was confronted by Fox News senior correspondent Mike Tobin about court documents identifying his sister-in-law, Mariam Jukaku, as a plaintiff in a 2016 lawsuit challenging her alleged placement on the federal Terrorism Screening Database, commonly known as the terrorist watchlist. "There's reporting in a lawsuit that now backs it up. And documentation with the lawsuit that Mariam Jukaku, who's your sister-in-law, that she was on the terrorist watch list?" Tobin asked. "Yeah," El-Sayed responded. MICHIGAN SENATE DEBATE ERUPTS INTO PERSONAL ATTACKS AS ROGERS, EL-SAYED CLASH OVER ISRAEL, IRAN AND MORE El-Sayed then defended his sister-in-law, insisting she had committed no wrongdoing and turning his criticism toward Republican Senate rival Mike Rogers. "She did nothing wrong and was captured on that and then sued and got off," El-Sayed said. "You've got this system where folks are guilty until proven innocent because they've got different kinds of names, because of the infrastructure that people like Mike Rogers set up." The exchange comes as Obama prepares to campaign alongside El-Sayed in Michigan on Oct. 24, ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm election. EL-SAYED ASKED IF HE BELIEVES AMERICA IS 'READY FOR A MUSLIM PRESIDENT' AHEAD OF SENATE RACE According to the 2016 complaint, Jukaku underwent additional airport screening in 2012, and alleged she was never told why she had been flagged. The filing said she was believed to have been removed from the watchlist by 2016. El-Sayed said she sued and won, but a federal appeals court overturned a ruling favoring the plaintiffs in 2021. A separate lawsuit seeking damages was dismissed in 2017. Despite El-Sayed's claim that she sued and won, a federal appeals court overturned a ruling favoring the plaintiffs in 2021, while a separate lawsuit seeking damages was dismissed in 2017. TRUMP LINKS MICHIGAN SENATE CANDIDATE ABDUL EL-SAYED TO MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD: 'HE'S A CON MAN' The FBI said it does not confirm or deny individuals' watchlist status. "It is the U.S. government’s policy to neither confirm nor deny a person’s inclusion in the Terrorist Screening Dataset, commonly known as the terrorist watchlist," the agency told Fox News. The exchange follows separate allegations about El-Sayed's family's purported Muslim Brotherhood connections, which his campaign called "racist and untrue." Rogers called the allegations "disqualifying" Saturday. The watchlist lawsuit does not establish wrongdoing by Jukaku or El-Sayed.

Florida then dropped their next two games. Despite entering this Saturday's game at Texas on a two-game skid and as an underdog, a late game sack-fumble by Arch Manning sealed a 30-27 upset victory for Florida. Texas has struggled against Florida in recent history, losing to the Gators 29-21 in October 2025. That Florida team went on to finish 4-8. The past eight days have been particularly painful for the Longhorns, who suffered a crushing loss to Oklahoma last week that cost them the No. 1 ranking. Following back-to-back losses to struggling SEC opponents, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said everything was under consideration as he looked to get the team back on track. UNRANKED OKLAHOMA KNOCKS OFF NO. 1 TEXAS IN WALK-OFF FASHION AFTER ARCH MANNING'S ROUGH 4TH QUARTER "Everything’s going to be evaluated," Sarkisian said. He also did not rule out a potential change at quarterback. "Everything means everything," Sarkisian said. "It would be easy for me to say, 'Hey, Arch was the problem today.' Was Arch perfect? No. But nobody was perfect on offense today." CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Sarkisian added that the opening quarter was the Longhorns’ lone bright spot. "Obviously, I'm extremely disappointed," he said. "We didn't play very good football today, outside about the first quarter. We kind of bled out." Texas finished Saturday's game with only 50 offensive snaps, the lowest total in Sarkisian’s tenure. Florida sacked Manning five times. Manning's day ended with 173 passing yards and one touchdown pass. Texas entered the day having defeated 22 consecutive unranked opponents at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium. The Longhorns now hold the dubious distinction of being just the third team since 1936 to reach No. 1 in the AP poll before losing consecutive games to unranked opponents, according to ESPN Research. UNRANKED AUBURN UPSETS TOP-RANKED GEORGIA WITH WALK-OFF FIELD GOAL, MARKING WILD FEAT NOT SEEN IN 36 YEARS Sarkisian offered a blunt assessment of how Texas has performed recently. "We're not playing very good football right now," he said. "I have to evaluate everything. It's gonna be a long night." Sarkisian also calls Texas’ offensive plays, meaning his own role will likely be part of the evaluation process. "I don't know how many times I need to say it," Sarkisian said. "We're going to evaluate everything from an offensive perspective. Part of that is playcalling." Texas will host Ole Miss in Austin next Saturday.

The Trump administration has spent more than a year in court battles with dozens of states and voting rights groups seeking to force states to provide sensitive voter data and curb voting by mail. “I think cracking down on mail-in voting and restricting people’s ability to vote easily is anti-democratic,” she said. “Democracy is really important to me, and freedom is really important to me.” Linda Levine, a Washington, D.C., resident, said restrictions on abortion rights drew her to the march. The U.S. Supreme Court in 2022 overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that established abortion as a constitutional right.  Linda Levine, left, of Washington, D.C., and her daughter, Ari Hershey, walk toward the U.S. Capitol during the Umbrella Walk on No Kings day on Oct. 17, 2026.

It was a record number of participants for the Umbrella Walk 4 Change, according to the walk’s organizer, Peter Stinson.

For Ashley, early voting was the walk’s most important message. “Especially now that we’re in early voting periods, just getting people to get out to the polls,” she said. Already, more than 8.5 million Americans have voted in the 2026 midterm election, according to the University of Florida Election Lab. Unlike past No Kings events, only some of Saturday’s actions involved protests. The events across the United States included help with voter registration, walks to ballot drop-off locations and car pool sign-ups. At the Umbrella Walk, Stinson ended the march with a reminder to participants to vote and help others vote. “Work within your circle of influence,” he said. “Work within your skill set.” Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad4212375342cf4db91a396 ‘No Kings’ protesters spurn organizers' rules: ‘This is as partisan as you can get’ te 2026-10-18T01:30:11.148Z ‘No Kings’ protesters spurn organizers' rules: ‘This is as partisan as you can get’ ALEXANDRIA, Va. — On South Washington Street, 26-year-old environmental engineer Nayely Cruz Hernandez had a straightforward message for voters as she joined a phalanx of protesters lining the street for nationwide "No Kings" protests against President Donald Trump: "Vote blue." "We got to take the power away from Trump, from the Republicans," Hernandez told Fox News Digital. "So we got to win the House, we got to win the Senate, not only in Virginia, but across the country." Standing beside her boyfriend, Noah Schwarzott, 25, their 13-year-old Maltese-poodle, Maybellene, in her arms, Hernandez acknowledged that national No Kings organizers had their own rules for the protests to be "nonpartisan," but she wasn't following orders. 'NO KINGS' FOOT SOLDIERS IGNORE ORGANIZERS' WARNING, GO ALL IN FOR DEMOCRATS "The No King ... organizers can say whatever," she said. "But I'm saying vote blue, because why are we here? Who's in the House? Who's in the Senate? Who is the President? It's red, it's Republicans, and it's Trump." A Fox News Digital investigation documented about 300 organizations with $2.5 billion in combined annual revenues behind the "No Kings" protest network, including Democratic-aligned advocacy groups, major labor unions and nonprofits including MoveOn, the American Federation of Teachers and the ACLU. Cruz Hernandez ended by introducing Maybellene and declaring that the dog was "telling you to vote for Don Beyer," a Democratic member of Congress who represents Alexandria, Arlington and other Northern Virginia communities. The national organizers' position is that the Oct. 17 events must be "nonpartisan." That's to comply with the federal laws that regulate the nonprofits that fund the No Kings protests. PARTY POOPERS' FIGHT CARD: JANE FONDA, 'NO KINGS,' COMMUNISTS ROLL OUT RIVAL SPECTACLE TO TRUMP'S 250TH Her comments directly contradicted the written instructions of the national "No Kings" organization and its leaders at the Indivisible nonprofit, prohibiting calls to "vote Blue," elect Democrats or endorse candidates and target individuals. Nearby, a man held a sign by a far-left group called "Refuse Fascism" with another message defying the organizers' guidance: "TRUMP MUST GO NOW!" Another man held an inflatable balloon mocking Trump as a baby in a diaper. Another sign said "86 47," the controversial message former FBI Director James Comey posted on social media and which federal prosecutors deemed an overt threat against Trump. As the young couple cheered honking cars, Eunic Epstein-Ortiz, national spokesperson for No Kings, called Fox News Digital to insist "No Kings" is a "nonpartisan, peaceful movement that has brought millions of Americans together to stand up for democracy, defend our freedoms, and reject authoritarianism." DAVID MARCUS: AS DEMOCRATS PROTEST IN DALLAS, CONSERVATIVES ARE QUIET AND CAUTIOUS Told that a Fox News DIgital investigation found "No Kings" events from Maine to Oregon were clearly partisan, Epstein-Ortiz said, "We are aware of partisan events circulating online that are not affiliated with or officially organized by No Kings. Many people utilize the No Kings name as a rallying cry." But, in this case, the protest on South Washington Street was an official "No Kings" event, advertised on the organizers' official website. Among the demonstrators, one woman beamed while waving a sign that was explicit about the protest's agenda: "THE USA Needs a Big Beautiful BLUE WAVE." But hours after the Alexandria demonstration, Fox News Digital encountered another protester marching on H Street NW by the White House who openly rejected the nonpartisan description. She marched at an official "No Kings" event. Nadine Seiler, a self-described "professional protester" recently mentioned by Trump, was asked whether she agreed with organizers' insistence that the demonstration was nonpartisan. "No, no, the people who agree with Trump are not out here," Seiler responded from behind an inflatable costume. "So it's never gonna be non-partisan if it's a resistance to the fascist regime." "They can pretend, but it's not," she added. Asked directly whether the event was partisan, Seiler answered: "Yes, this is a partisan protest." She explained that participants were resisting what she described as illegal policies of the Trump administration. "Yeah, so this is as partisan as you can get," she concluded. The exchanges offer a ground-level perspective on the political character of a movement whose organizers have gone to considerable lengths to insist its voter-mobilization activities are "nonpartisan." FIRST ON FOX: ‘NO KINGS’ PROTEST NETWORK BEHIND FIGHT AGAINST AI DATA CENTERS AND FLOCK CAMERAS "No Kings" has distributed detailed election-law guidance prohibiting partisan slogans, campaign materials, candidate endorsements and coordination with political parties. Yet the movement's own leadership has openly discussed its broader Democratic electoral objectives. During an Oct. 15 livestream, Indivisible co-founder Ezra Levin contrasted the parties' candidates. "Our candidates are quite good all around the country. Their candidates are quite trash all over the country," Levin said. In an Oct. 9 webinar, Levin explained how activists could criticize Trump while avoiding explicit Democratic endorsements. "Uh, you've got to let people connect the dots on that one," he said. Indivisible co-founder Leah Greenberg, meanwhile, described No Kings as a "nonpartisan coalition" intended to welcome participants across the political spectrum. The distinction matters legally. Individual protesters expressing partisan opinions don't automatically establish that event organizers violated election law. Tax-exempt charities also face restrictions different from those governing political advocacy groups. In yet another sign, a protester again targeted Trump, writing, "EVERY DAY I HATE HIM MORE THAN I DID THE DAY BEFORE." Another sign read: "NO CROWN FOR THE CLOWN." From northern Virginia to the White House, participants were making no effort to conceal their political preferences. For Seiler, the description was simple: "This is as partisan as you can get."

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ad41c7675342cf4db91a1cd Phoenix Raceway trades championship finale for new stakes in NASCAR’s return to the Chase te 2026-10-18T01:10:14.177Z Phoenix Raceway trades championship finale for new stakes in NASCAR’s return to the Chase AVONDALE — For six consecutive years, NASCAR’s championship road ended in the Arizona desert. On Sunday, Phoenix Raceway will instead become another stop on the road to a title. The championship banners are no longer the centerpiece of the fall race weekend, and no driver will leave Phoenix with the Cup Series trophy. But with four races remaining in NASCAR’s revamped championship format, the stakes are far from diminished. The Freeway Insurance 500 marks the seventh race of NASCAR’s Chase, which replaces the controversial elimination-style playoff system and winner-take-all championship finale that defined the sport’s postseason for more than a decade.  The Chase is a 10-race season conclusion in which the top 16 points-scoring drivers from the 26-race regular season qualify for the championship. Phoenix will host its first fall race since 2019 without determining the Cup Series champion, with the season now concluding Nov. 8 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. For drivers accustomed to the championship atmosphere at Phoenix, the difference is already noticeable. “It does feel a little bit weird coming here,” Hendrick Motorsports driver William Byron said, noting the absence of championship banners and “big race feel” around the facility and the city of Phoenix as a whole. “I don’t approach it any differently this weekend because of those things. Just a little unique and a little different feel.” Chase Elliott, who won the 2020 Cup Series championship at the venue, shared that sentiment. “It’s still obviously really important as it pertains to just the championship as a whole,” Elliott said. “But, it definitely has a different vibe to it.” Under the previous format, the championship went to whichever of the four remaining title contenders finished highest in the season finale. The 10-race playoff had three rounds: 16, 12, 8 and the Championship 4.  This year, 16 drivers entered the Chase, with no eliminations, and the points leader after the final race won the championship. Race victories are now worth 55 points, up from 40, while stage points and finishing positions remain crucial to the title fight. A second-place finish earns 35 points, giving drivers an extra incentive to chase wins without sacrificing consistency. For Chase Briscoe, the difference could change how teams approach Sunday’s 312-lap race, especially when late cautions force pit-strategy decisions. Briscoe was one of the four championship contenders at Phoenix last November, when finishing ahead of Denny Hamlin, William Byron and Kyle Larson was all that mattered in the title fight. “If you don’t win the race, it still definitely matters,” Briscoe said of the new format. “I’m sure the strategy will definitely be different by the end of the race.” Last year’s finale illustrated the volatility of the former championship format. Hamlin dominated much of the afternoon, leading 208 laps before a late caution changed the race’s complexion. Ryan Blaney ultimately won the race, while Larson finished third to claim his second Cup Series championship without leading a lap. Now, Larson returns to Phoenix as the driver everyone is chasing. The Hendrick Motorsports driver leads the standings by 49 points over Hamlin, with Christopher Bell 51 points behind and Briscoe fourth, 65 points back. Larson averages a 2.8 finishing position through the first six Chase races, the best for any driver in NASCAR postseason history, regardless of format. Briscoe, however, enters Phoenix with momentum. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has won the past two races, at Las Vegas and Charlotte, cutting his deficit to Larson by 58 points in that stretch. Phoenix also matters to Briscoe, who earned his first career Cup Series win at the track in March 2022. Although Larson has established himself as the championship favorite, Team Penske has recently dominated Phoenix Raceway. Ryan Blaney, Sunday’s pole-sitter, has won the past two Cup Series races at the one-mile oval, including the March event, when he overcame multiple pit-road setbacks and passed Ty Gibbs with 10 laps remaining. He has finished in the top two in six of his last eight Phoenix starts. “I thought the track really moved around today,” Blaney said after qualifying. “This weekend, we can’t show up the same way we did in the spring because you learn things through the year that you think are a better direction as an organization.” The 2023 Cup Series champion enters Sunday fifth in the standings, 85 points behind Larson. His Penske teammate Joey Logano is sixth, 92 points back. Logano has four career Cup Series victories at Phoenix, the most among active drivers, including the fall 2024 race that secured his third series championship. Christopher Bell and Hamlin each have two Phoenix victories, while Larson, Briscoe, Byron and Elliott have also visited Victory Lane. Blaney acknowledged that even a successful history at Phoenix doesn’t guarantee a strong result. “It just shows you the competitiveness of the Cup Series and how hard it is,” Blaney said. “Running well is one thing, but then trying to win the race … is obviously incredibly difficult.” For others, Phoenix offers an increasingly urgent opportunity to salvage their championship hopes. Chase Elliott sits 12th in the Chase standings, 185 points behind Larson, while Byron is 13th, 208 points back. Both have won at Phoenix before, but their championship paths have narrowed considerably with only four races remaining. Ty Gibbs, meanwhile, enters ninth in the standings, 156 points behind Larson. He finished fourth at Phoenix in March after leading late, which encouraged his return to the desert. While much of the field focuses on championship calculations, Gibbs also pointed to a lighter aspect of the annual trip to Arizona. “I think Phoenix is just fun to come out and get some real Mexican food, authentic, and the track’s really fun, too,” said Gibbs, who won the 2022 Xfinity Series championship at Phoenix. After Phoenix, the Cup Series heads to Talladega Superspeedway and Martinsville Speedway before concluding at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Nov. 8. With three races remaining after Sunday, every point gained or lost in the desert could influence the championship outcome. For Joey Logano, however, losing the championship finale distinction has done little to diminish the urgency of racing at Phoenix. “It’s still just as important, right?” Logano said. “If we want to win the championship, we have to win this week, in my opinion. So same attitude as normal here.” The Freeway Insurance 500 is scheduled for noon MST Sunday, with coverage on USA Network.

The BPI Score, introduced in a July paper published in the journal Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, gave tofu the top mark: 36 out of 40 points. Beans, chia seeds and quinoa rounded out the top four, while mozzarella, lamb, beef and cheddar were among the lowest-ranked foods. The BPI Score, created by University of Cambridge researcher Chris Macdonald and the Better Protein Institute (BPI), rates 20 protein sources on a 40-point scale that combines nutrition, affordability and availability with environmental impact. AMERICANS STILL CRAVE PROTEIN DESPITE RECORD BEEF PRICES AS EXPERT REVEALS THE 'HEALTHIEST BURGER' Its "People Score" factors in sodium, saturated fat, cholesterol, whether a food contains all nine essential amino acids, affordability and availability. Its "Planet Score" considers greenhouse gas emissions, water pollution, land use and freshwater use. Tofu earned the highest scores in both categories. The paper estimated that producing 100 grams of protein from tofu was associated with 0.61 kilograms of greenhouse gas emissions, compared with 64.19 kilograms for beef. It also found tofu required about 2 square meters of land for that amount of protein, compared with about 211 square meters for beef. IS FARM-RAISED FISH REALLY WORSE THAN WILD-CAUGHT SEAFOOD? EXPERTS SOUND OFF Experts note that the ranking is an initial scoring system developed by one researcher, not a controlled trial or dietary guideline, and it relies on U.K. grocery data. The score also compares the amount of each food needed to provide 100 grams of protein, not equal-sized portions. "While acknowledging the limitations of this first iteration, the score provides a robust foundation for a more nuanced conversation," Macdonald wrote in the paper. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE STORIES Corry Matthews, a California-based fitness and nutrition expert and founder of Strength & Grace Fitness, said consumers should consider protein quality, serving size and whether they can realistically get enough of a food to meet their needs. "For example, three ounces of cooked chicken breast provides roughly 26 grams of protein," Matthews told Fox News Digital. "A half cup of firm tofu may provide around 10 to 15 grams, depending on the product. Two tablespoons of chia seeds provide only about 4 to 5 grams." CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER She continued, "That doesn't make chia seeds a bad food ... but I wouldn't rely on them as my primary protein source if my goal were to get 25 to 30 grams of protein at a meal." Animal proteins such as eggs, dairy, fish, and lean meats generally provide complete protein and can be concentrated sources of essential amino acids, she noted. Tofu, a soy food, is also a complete protein but those relying plant-based proteins may need to be more intentional about serving sizes and total intake, Matthews said. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ Ashley Koff, an Oregon-based registered dietitian and founder of The Better Nutrition Program, also said individual needs matter. "Many people do not digest tofu well at all," Koff said, adding that people should choose protein sources they enjoy and can access. "My advice? Don't let a ranking do all your nutritional thinking for you," Matthews added. "Understand what the ranking measures, then choose foods that support your actual goals."

"Our hearts are broken," the Bend-La Pine Schools district said in a social media post. "They responded to an attack on their school in a way for which we are forever grateful." Among the victims was Megan Lambert, 25, a special education teacher at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend. Lambert had just joined the district this fall for her first teaching job. HERO DAD WHO TOOK DOWN OREGON SCHOOL SHOOTER IDENTIFIED ALONG WITH TEACHER, STUDENT BOTH KILLED IN ATTACK The district remembered her as a bright light for her "students, family, and our community," adding, "She will be missed beyond words can express." The district also praised Becky Drury, an inclusion educational assistant who was injured during the attack and is currently recovering. "We continue to wrap our arms around Becky Drury," the post stated. "In addition, a learning specialist responded with extraordinary courage and engaged directly with the shooter. We are so thankful for her safety and forever in her debt." HERO DAD WHO TOOK DOWN OREGON SCHOOL SHOOTER IDENTIFIED ALONG WITH TEACHER, STUDENT BOTH KILLED IN ATTACK The tragic shooting has devastated the community of Bend, located about 170 miles south of Portland. On Saturday, residents gathered near the school to mourn Lambert and the three young victims: 5-year-old Rhoam Summer, along with two other children, ages 8 and 11, whose families requested their names not be publicly disclosed. A 7-year-old girl and Drury both sustained injuries and are recovering, according to police. At a growing sidewalk memorial outside Silver Rail Elementary, mourners have left flowers, offered prayers, and wrote messages of support in chalk. HERO DAD WHO TOOK DOWN OREGON SCHOOL SHOOTER IDENTIFIED ALONG WITH TEACHER, STUDENT BOTH KILLED IN ATTACK Community members and authorities have also commended Kaylub Giamanco, 36, a father of two Silver Rail students, who intervened during the attack. Giamanco was on his lunch break when he saw the teenage gunman entering the building with a shotgun. He retrieved a legally secured .40-caliber pistol from his car, pursued the shooter into the school, and fatally shot him. Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz praised the rapid response of both citizens and staff, while highlighting an unnamed teacher who confronted the gunman directly by throwing a cellphone and tackling him. "The teacher... was willing to stand and fight for her children," Krantz said Friday. "I think we all recognize that that is true heroism. She almost certainly helped avoid more bloodshed."

He spent decades in psychiatric custody, escaped twice and was suspected in multiple killings, though never charged. The reporting comes just weeks before the midterm elections, in which Flanagan, the state's lieutenant governor, faces former television sports reporter Michelle Tafoya in a race to fill the seat of Democrat Tina Smith, who is retiring. Neither Flanagan nor Tafoya has commented publicly on the matter since the decades-old allegations resurfaced. But the bizarre development has generated a buzz on social media. Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet highlighted the "violent mental illness in Minnesota Democrat Peggy Flanagan's family," in an X post, followed by a photo of Flanagan wearing a shirt that says "Protect trans kids." and Dustin Grage, a columnist with Town Hall, wrote the report "adds up." Flanagan has frequently spoken about her upbringing, including being raised by a single mother who relied on SNAP benefits and housing assistance, and the influence of her indigenous father, a tribal land rights activist who helped inspire her own advocacy for Native American communities. But a lesser-known part of her family history involves Hartmann, who made headlines in Minneapolis newspapers throughout the 1970s and early 1980s for his time in psychiatric hospitals, his escapes and allegations linking him to at least four killings, which was dredged up by Minnesota-based outlet Alpha News. WARREN’S ANCESTRY SAGA ROARS BACK AFTER DEM ALLY TOUTS NATIVE SENATE FIRST: ‘ARROWS FIRED’ Flanagan was three years old when Hartmann died on Feb. 6, 1983. A Minnesota Star Tribune death notice listed Flanagan’s mother, Patricia Hartmann, and her three sisters — Kathleen, Mary and Margaret — as his surviving daughters. An obituary for Patricia, who died in 2022, listed her maiden name as Hartmann and identified her father as John. In an interview with Minnesota Women’s Press, Flanagan said both her mother and grandmother were single mothers. She described her grandmother as having raised four daughters "at a time when that didn’t happen a lot." Flanagan's mother eventually married Thomas Flanagan, who is identified as Peggy Flanagan's stepfather in his obituary. In a Feb. 9, 1983 article announcing Hartmann's death, the newspaper now known as The Minnesota Star Tribune stated that he was committed on Nov. 1, 1951 after his wife filed a petition claiming that he was "mentally ill and dangerous." His commitment came after the body of a man named Theodore Foth was found burning in his room, although Hartmann was never charged in Foth's death. The paper also named Hartmann as a suspect in a 1964 murder of a fellow patient at the Minnesota Security Hospital, but he was never charged. SLEEPER GOP CANDIDATE PUTS BLUE-LEANING STATE IN PLAY AS FRAUD SCANDAL SHADOWS DEMS Hartmann was transferred to Anoka State Hospital in 1970, but escaped to New Mexico, where the newspaper reported he was suspected in the deaths of a man and woman. However, a 1973 Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling does not mention the alleged murder allegations against Hartmann. Instead, the ruling stated New Mexico authorities picked up Hartmann from a warrant issued by Minnesota Probate Judge Melvin Peterson in September 1970. The authorities found that he was living in the state "without incident and without hiding his identity following his escape in Minnesota." A special prosecutor later released Hartmann, finding that he was "sane and safe to be at large." Hartmann was apprehended in Colorado for a misdemeanor charge the next year and brought back to Minnesota. In April 1979, Hartmann failed to return from a visit pass at the Minnesota Security Hospital and fled to Missouri, where he allegedly threatened U.S. District Judge Miles Welton Lord during a phone call. Lord presided over Hartmann’s earlier federal challenge to his involuntary return from Colorado to Minnesota and initially dismissed claims against several Minnesota officials. Hartmann was charged by federal authorities for the alleged threat, according to a 1979 Star Tribune article. Fox News Digital reached out to Flanagan's campaign for comment.

It goes way back, and in more seasons than not, there's a lot on the line. This year was no different, except the stakes were simply about preventing their respective seasons from getting any worse. Matt Campbell's Nittany Lions entered with a rough 3-3 record, while Kyle Whittingham and the Wolverines came in at 0-2 in Big Ten play, and looking to avoid dropping to 3-3. BRYCE UNDERWOOD ADDRESSES KYLE WHITTINGHAM'S COMMENTS ABOUT REMAINING STARTING QB AT MICHIGAN Penn State was first to get on the board. The Nittany Lions capped off their opening drive with a 24-yard field goal from kicker Ryan Barker after the Rocco Becht-led offense fizzled out in the red zone. The Nittany Lions absolutely dominated on the time of possession front, staying on offense for nearly two-thirds of the half. But with the Wolverines threatening to tie the game with a field goal of their own or more on a strong late drive, Penn State freshman Josiah Zayas picked off Michigan's Bryce Underwood with an impressive interception. That was Underwood's second interception of the first half, and with offense tough to come by, the Wolverines made a decision to throw freshman Tommy Carr under center to see if he could jump-start the offense. He received a big ovation from fans at the Big House. Unfortunately for the Wolverines, Carr's first drive of the game was a quick three-and-out that was almost entirely on the ground, save for one 3-yard pass. However, they got the ball right back as Becht threw an interception on the first play of the ensuing drive, putting the ball right back in Carr's hands with solid field position just past midfield. That's when Bryson Kuzdzal used his legs to get the Wolverines on the board with an impressive 43-yard run to the end zone. Later in the quarter, Carr took matters into his own hands and rushed the ball up to the Penn State 1-yard line on what was initially ruled a touchdown but was reviewed and marked short. A couple of plays later, running back Jordan Marshall forced his way across the goal line for six. Penn State finally scored a touchdown a few minutes into the fourth quarter to make it a one-possession game, and made it even closer by converting on their two-point attempt to pull within a field goal. However, with five minutes left in regulation and Penn State threatening to score, Becht was hauled down while scrambling and fumbled the ball, which was recovered by Michigan. It was especially costly because it took only a few plays for Carr to score his first career touchdown on a 12-yard run. But it wasn't over just yet. Becht connected with Chase Sowell — who had 11 catches for 151 yards on the day — for a touchdown. OHIO STATE SNAPS INDIANA'S 22-GAME WINNING STREAK, HANDS REIGNING CHAMPS FIRST LOSS SINCE 2024 IN THRILLER However, Penn State's attempt at an onside kick was swallowed up by the Wolverines, and that was it. A huge win for the Wolverines and a coming-out party for Tommy Carr, who went 5-for-7 passing for 47 yards, all of which came in the second half. On the other side, that's a crushing loss for a Nittany Lions team that certainly didn't need any more games going in the loss column. Michigan will look to keep the momentum going against defending champion Indiana Hoosiers, while Penn State will have a much-needed week off before facing Purdue in Happy Valley on Halloween.

They didn't score again. Gabby Williams finished with 26 points and made six free throws in the final 2:15 as the Golden State Valkyries beat the Dream, 68–64, at Chase Center. Golden State closed on a 7–0 run to take a 1–0 series lead after trailing by seven earlier in the fourth quarter. Atlanta scored just eight points in the final frame and didn't make a field goal after Jordin Canada's jumper with 4:23 remaining. The Dream had opportunities to steal the opener on the road. They spent the closing minutes missing one after another. DREAM, VALKYRIES LEAVE COURT FOR NATIONAL ANTHEM, RETURN SECONDS LATER BEFORE WNBA FINALS Golden State's defense produced one of the biggest sequences with the Valkyries trailing 62–59. Veronica Burton blocked Canada's layup attempt, and Kiah Stokes rejected Angel Reese on the same possession. Tiffany Hayes grabbed the rebound and found Williams for a running layup that cut the deficit to one with 3:22 left. Stokes finished with five blocks. That one helped turn a potential five-point deficit into a one-point game. Rhyne Howard pushed Atlanta's lead back to three with two free throws, but Williams answered with four straight at the line. Her second pair put Golden State ahead 65–64 with 1:18 remaining. Reese twice stole the ball from Williams in the final 1:41, giving Atlanta chances to change the ending. Neither possession produced a point. Allisha Gray missed a layup after the first steal, and Naz Hillmon missed a three after the second. Stokes split two free throws with 23.8 seconds left to make it 66–64. Gray then missed a potential go-ahead three, and Williams made two more free throws with 4.1 seconds remaining to put the game out of reach. The Chase Center crowd made its feelings about the officiating clear with repeated, loud chants of "Refs you suck." Through three quarters, Atlanta had attempted 17 free throws to Golden State's 5. The Dream finished 18-for-21 at the line, compared with 11-for-16 for the Valkyries. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE One of the most notable sequences came with 3:12 remaining, when Howard drove to the basket and Burton was called for a foul. Burton went down holding her face and remained on the floor for a while. Officials reviewed the play for a possible hostile act by Howard, but assessed no foul on the Atlanta guard. Howard made both free throws to give the Dream their 64–61 lead. Those turned out to be Atlanta's final points. Less than a minute later, Hayes went down holding her face after attempting a steal, just before Burton blocked Gray's shot. There was no foul call or review on that sequence, and another loud chant followed from the crowd. These teams account for six of the 10 players named to the WNBA's All-Defensive teams, but the first half produced 81 combined points. Reese did much of the early damage. She scored 11 points on 5-for-6 shooting in the first quarter, including nine during Atlanta's 11–0 run to close the period. The Dream turned a 14–11 deficit into a 22–14 lead, with Reese supplying half their points. ANGEL REESE'S WNBA FINALS APPEARANCE AFTER CHICAGO EXIT RAISES QUESTIONS ABOUT WINNING MENTALITY But she didn't make another field goal. Reese finished with 14 points and 12 rebounds, scoring all three of her remaining points on second-quarter free throws. Williams took over in the second quarter, scoring all 16 of her first-half points in that period. She shot 6-for-9 and hit three 3-pointers as Golden State outscored Atlanta 28–17 to take a 42–39 halftime lead. That wasn't enough to satisfy Valkyries coach Natalie Nakase. "We were sleeping the whole first quarter," Nakase said at the break. She added: "Our defense is terrible right now!" Golden State's offense became the problem in the third quarter. The Valkyries scored just nine points, and Atlanta took a 56–51 lead into the fourth. Gray, who led the Dream with 19 points, made two jumpers in the final two minutes of the third to help Atlanta regain control. The teams combined for just 51 points after halftime, a much better fit for their defensive reputations. Golden State got enough offense from Williams to survive it. Atlanta couldn't find a basket when it needed one.

(Photo by Gloria Rebecca Gomez /Arizona Mirror) Tens of thousands of Arizonans rallied and voted early on Saturday as part of the fourth No Kings day of protest that saw 44 demonstrations across the Grand Canyon State in opposition to President Donald Trump and his administration’s policies.  The protests and marches in Arizona were part of some 3,000 similar events planned across the country. The demonstrations are part of a national day of action hoping to harness opposition to Trump to get out the vote. While the three previous No Kings days focused on speaking out against Trump and his allies, Saturday’s events all emphasized the need for participants to exercise their power at the ballot box.  The events drew large crowds all with a central message: vote.  GET THE MORNING HEADLINES. SUBSCRIBE “This is it. This is your ticket to a better America,” U.S. Sen. Ruben Gallego told the crowd of about 200 people gathered at Grant Park in downtown Phoenix while holding up an early ballot envelope.  Grant Park holds significant history as a gathering place for Phoenix’s Latino community. Across the street sits Friendly House, which has helped immigrant communities since 1915, and next door is American Legion Post 41, which was the first to allow Hispanic members after World War II.  “This is where the civil rights movement started in the Latino community,” Gallego said of the neighborhood.

(Photo by Jerod MacDonald-Evoy/Arizona Mirror) Republicans peeled off a larger number of Hispanic voters than usual in 2024, but amid Trump’s violent mass deportation agenda that has torn apart immigrant communities, the president’s favorability among Hispanic voters has plummeted, with only 24% approving of Trump.  The political power of Latino voters was the focus of the Grant Park event, which was organized by Latino advocacy groups. It was suffused with Latino culture, featuring a live mariachi band.  Among the speakers were Mary Rose Wilcox, the first Hispanic woman to serve on the Phoenix City Council and Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. She led attendees to the nearby drop box to vote.  “We are proud to be proud Mexican-Americans, and Americans we are,” Wilcox said to cheers from the audience. “Su voto es su voz!”  The Grant Park event culminated in a march to the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center, where, in 2020, far right protesters swarmed when Trump lost his first reelection bid.  The event also included speeches from U.S. Rep. Yassamin Ansari and Maricopa County Board Supervisor Steve Gallardo, both Democrats.  The crowd was full of a diverse set of people from all age ranges and for many, it was not their first No Kings event.  “I feel like AI is really messing with the youth’s intelligence and using all of our water,” 15-year-old Kalli Hester told the Arizona Mirror when asked what brought her to the Saturday event.  It was Hester’s second No Kings rally and she said that if she was old enough to vote, she’d be voting for a straight Democratic ticket.  She also said she hopes more candidates focus on reproductive health going forward.  “It kinda makes me scared for me, my siblings and my cousins,” Hester said while reflecting on the landmark Supreme Court decision to overturn abortion protections in Roe v. Wade.  On the other end of the spectrum, 61-year-old Byrd Preston said it was hard for him to choose one thing in particular that has spurred him to participate in the rallies.  “Everything,” Preston said with a chuckle. “The lying, the facism, the nastiness of this country.”  Preston, who attended business school in the 1980s, said he has never liked Trump, even back then, and that he hopes more emphasis is put on flipping the state’s long-time Republican controlled legislature. National Democratic organizations have been flooding the state with campaign money the past several years in an attempt to flip it with little success.  “I wish I heard more in this election cycle honestly about turning the legislature blue,” Preston said, adding that he approves of Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs’ record number of vetoes of  Republican proposals. “The legislation that comes out of (the legislature) is just horrendous.”  Immigration was also a hot-button topic for younger attendees at the rally at Grant Park.  Rose Kelly, 17, said one of her main concerns about immigration is “how violent it is, how violent it has all gotten. Even to innocent people.” Kelly added that, while she is unable to vote, she has been active in anti-ICE demonstrations, including a walkout at her high school over how the agency has been being used by the Trump administration.  “It is not about immigration anymore, it is about weaponizing,” her father, Jaxon Kelly, said.  Over in Glendale at another event, multiple voters voiced their concerns about affordability.  Affordability and the economy were key issues Republicans campaigned on in 2024 but have now become a pain point, as prices have continued to rise under Trump, due in part to the costly war in Iran.  “The main issues are accountability for what they’ve been doing, the ability to afford things, the price of food, gas — that’s terrible,” former school teacher Gordon Pinda said. “I mean, I’m an old guy. But for young people starting out, it’s hard enough.” North Phoenix Democrat Becky Delaware agreed that lowering prices is an important issue, but said she’s also concerned about how her tax dollars are being used by the administration.  “Lower prices. But that’s not number one. Our tax dollars are going to annihilate an entire race of people,” Delaware said, pointing to a Palestinian flag.  The United States has sent over $300 billion to Israel, with $244 billion of that for military aid, from 1946 to 2024. And then there’s the increased spending on immigration enforcement and rounding up immigrants, many of whom have no criminal record and have lived in America for decades. “We’re annihilating in a different way,” Delaware said, motioning to a Mexican flag. “Brown people are being put in these detention centers and just snatched up off the street and disappeared and deported to God knows where and put in these detention centers where God knows what happens to them.”  At a “Bike Out the Vote” event in Central Phoenix, attendees said that they’ve been focused on trying to improve voter turnout for this midterm election cycle.  “The last primary had like 20% voter turnout, which is just ridiculously bad,” Phoenix resident Evo Terra said. “People have been beaten down since I’ve been alive that voting doesn’t matter. It’s going to be the same crooks that are in charge…I understand that. I understand the argument, the frustration, but it’s important because, if we’re going to make change in the country, we got to do it through voting. That’s really the only visible way we’re going to make a change.”  Terra said he and the group he’s a leader of, the Rush Hour Resistance Rally, have been heavily focused on trying to turn out the vote this election.  “We have three primary things that RHRR, that we’re concerned about, and one of those things is protecting democracy, protecting our neighbors and the vulnerable within us, whether that’s the homeless community or Latinos or other people being targeted by administration,” Terra said. “And then the third one, which we’ve been focusing on for the last six months, is getting out the vote.”  Several dozen protesters lined the sidewalks of 59th Avenue and the Loop 101 in Glendale early Saturday morning, with many leaning over the concrete barricades to wave their signs at passing cars and others hugging the chain link to show their posters to the commuters speeding by on the freeway below. White block letters, blown up big enough to be seen from the freeway, asked drivers: “I voted, have you?” Dennis McNulty joined the demonstration to speak out against Trump’s illegal use of power, including his decision to launch a war with Iran without first seeking congressional approval. McNulty, a Vietnam war veteran, said he strongly disagrees with Trump’s weaponization of executive orders and his flagrant disregard for the Constitution.  But the 74-year-old said he’s hopeful the November midterms will flip at least one Congressional chamber to ensure there is some pushback on the executive branch.  “There has to be a return to sanity,” McNulty said. “Congress has to take back its responsibilities and not let Trump run rampant.”  Some Glendale residents who showed up to criticize the Trump administration were formerly his supporters. Valentin Espinoza voted for Trump two years ago but he said he regrets that now, after witnessing the violent tactics federal immigration agents have employed across the country and feeling the crunch of the worsening economy.  And, Espinoza added, he’s concerned by what he called Trump’s blatant disregard for the separation of powers and his lack of consideration for working Americans.  “He believes he’s a king,” Espinoza said. “He doesn’t respect the laws or the Constitution.”  In Scottsdale, hundreds of people filled the intersection of Scottsdale and Camelback roads. Musicians performed live, singing “All we are saying, get ICE out for good!” to raucous cheers from the protestors clustered around them. Progressive organizations manned small tables, offering baked goods and free voting guides. People brandished signs calling for participation in the midterms at passing cars, cheering when they were answered with honks.  While the city has long been a Republican stronghold, voters of all political stripes showed up to Saturday’s rally in Old Town Scottsdale. Gail Fithian, a registered independent, said her top concern is political corruption. Fithian, 66, said she’s always been worried about politicians who are seeking office for financial gain, but said she believes that political greed and corruption has never been worse than under the Trump administration.  She said she’s planning to vote in November to elect politicians that could address that. And she called on others to vote, too, saying that every vote counts, particularly in Arizona.  “Your vote matters,” Fithian said. “So many elections are won by small margins here.”  In 2022, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes won her seat by just 280 votes.  Judy Appleyard, 74, has been a Republican for most of her life. But Trump and the Make America Great Again movement prompted her to switch her party registration to independent, she said. She still identifies as a conservative voter, but said she can’t support the Republican Party’s new priorities, which have shifted too far to the right for her.  Appleyard toted a sign advocating against the MAGA movement, with the title crossed out under “VOTE” in large, stark capital print. She said the list of her grievances with the Trump administration is long, but noted that her most recent frustration was the White House’s decision to lift sanctions on Russia and import diesel fuel from the country, which Appleyard called a betrayal of U.S. ally Ukraine. And while she acknowledged that fuel prices are straining the budgets of everyday Americans, including hers, she said that betraying Ukraine isn’t worth the temporary benefit.  “If the cost is someone’s freedom to buy cheaper gas — that’s too big a price to pay,” she said.  Kathy Hayden, 66, said she’s hoping voters will award Democrats control of Congress in November. She said she’s concerned about the lack of balance in the federal government, as the Republican controlled U.S. House of Representatives and Senate, and the conservative Supreme Court have each capitulated to Trump’s agenda.  “I’m hoping a blue wave will happen. I would like to see some more control taken over the executive branch,” Hayden said. “Republicans aren’t doing that, Democrats have the ability to have a stronger say in things.”  In Tempe, residents plastered signs against the chain link fencing of the pedestrian bridge that overlooks U.S. 60. Jennifer Bentz held up her sign that read: “NO WAR, NO ICE, NO KINGS,” against the fence so that drivers speeding by could see it. The 47-year-old said she’s been a sometimes infrequent voter over the years, but said that this year is different. She’s determined to make her voice heard at the ballot box because federal policies have left her feeling abandoned.  Bentz and her teen son are among more than 400,000 Arizonans who lost their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits after the Trump administration enacted new work requirements for the federal aid program. And she said she’s worried she’ll be kicked off of her Medicaid coverage next year when similar work requirements are implemented.  “If it wasn’t for my mom, I don’t know how we would eat,” she said.  Bentz said she’s more fired up than ever to vote in November to make her discontent with the Trump administration known.  “He promised no new wars and that he wouldn’t touch Medicaid or SNAP,” she pointed out, saying that those promises were flagrantly broken.  Early voting is already underway in Arizona and voters have until Oct. 23 to request a mail-in ballot with Oct. 27 being the last day it can be mailed in. Voters can check their registration status, request an early ballot and find other information at Arizona.vote.  YOU MAKE OUR WORK POSSIBLE.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Ole Miss completely smothered one of the best offenses in the SEC en route to a 31-3 drubbing over number 13 Missouri. The Tigers came into today's matchup boasting a top-ten rushing attack and one of the nation's top quarterbacks in Austin Simmons, though you wouldn't have been able to tell after watching this game. Give all the credit to Golding and the Rebels' defense, as the team held Mizzou to 39 yards rushing and harrassed Simmons all game. The senior signal caller looked uncomfortable for virtually the entire game, throwing for 340 yards but needing nearly 50 attempts to do so. LANE KIFFIN CAUGHT LYING ABOUT LSU-OLE MISS SERIES WHILE COMPLAINING ABOUT NINE-GAME SEC SCHEDULE On the other side of the ball, Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss wasn't perfect but came through when the Rebs needed him, tossing three scores and adding another on the ground. It was the Ole Miss rushing attack that really torched the Tigers' run defense. The Rebels racked up 257 yards on the ground in large part because of the efforts of Kewan Lacy and backup Makhi Frazier. Missouri looked as though they were heading for a potential College Football Playoff berth, but a blowout loss against the Rebels changes the calculus of things. Meanwhile, Ole Miss is right back on track with all of their goals still in front of them. The Rebels will go on the road to play a reeling Texas Longhorns team, but things don't get much easier in terms of a path to an SEC Championship and beyond. Ole Miss will face a November stretch that includes Georgia, Oklahoma and Mississippi State. The Tigers, on the other hand, will travel to Fayetteville to take on Arkansas, which could be just what the doctor ordered.
