The 41-year-old victim, identified in court records as Christine Sherbuk, was filling her Volvo SUV at a Mobil gas station in St. Petersburg on Thursday night when Eleanor Crawford approached her, according to police and an arrest affidavit. Crawford, 41, allegedly lit the gasoline at about 8 p.m., setting the SUV ablaze and leaving Sherbuk with second-degree burns to her arms and back.

MAN ARRESTED AFTER ALLEGEDLY THROWING MOLOTOV COCKTAIL AT PERSON IN WHEELCHAIR NEAR OKC POLICE HEADQUARTERS Gramling helped the injured woman into his truck and called 911. He described what he witnessed as a "fireball." Moments earlier, Gramling said, he had called the police non-emergency line after seeing Crawford involved in some kind of altercation across the street. It appeared someone was trying to pull her out of the roadway before a fight broke out, he told the outlet. Officers were already heading to that disturbance when the gas station attack unfolded, according to the outlet. Police caught Crawford a couple of blocks away within about 20 minutes. The arrest affidavit says multiple witnesses saw her ignite the gasoline and that the incident was captured on video.

Authorities have not identified a motive. "I don't know if alcohol and drugs were involved, but indicative of her history, there might've been something that diminished capacity there," Assistant Police Chief Mike Kovacsev told Fox 13. "Why would she even do something like this?" ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CHARGED WITH ABUSING HER KIDS, SETTING FIRE IN HOUSE WHILE MAKING MENTAL HEALTH DEFENSE Police said Crawford has an extensive record that includes several drug- and alcohol-related charges. Authorities have not said whether she was under the influence at the time of the alleged attack. "It's kind of a unique case because you don't see anything like this, especially something that results in such horrific burns," Kovacsev said. "But they went out there, they worked with the fire department, and luckily they were able to get her stabilized, and she's going to make it."

The tense encounter unfolded Aug. 22 as Santa Monica Police Department officers investigated a report of a man chasing a woman near the Broadway stairs, according to a newly released critical incident briefing. The man killed in the confrontation was identified by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner as 44-year-old Michael Rodriguez. BODYCAM SHOWS LOS ANGELES COUNTY DEPUTY STABBED SECONDS AFTER ARRIVING AT KNIFE ATTACK Two uniformed officers responded to Broadway and Ocean Avenue at approximately 12:30 p.m. before speaking with witnesses in the 1400 block of Palisades Park. The popular oceanfront park was crowded with pedestrians, visitors and vendors that Saturday afternoon when officers spotted Rodriguez, who was unrelated to the original call, holding a large knife above his head and moving toward an officer and several bystanders, police said. NYPD OFFICERS FATALLY SHOOT MAN ARMED WITH BUTCHER KNIFE AFTER HE ADVANCED TOWARD COPS: POLICE "Hey, put that down," an officer can be heard repeatedly shouting as he draws his gun and backs away from Rodriguez. "Put it down. Put that down," the officer commands. CHICAGO OFFICERS WOUNDED IN TRAFFIC STOP SHOOTOUT AS HOLIDAY WEEKEND LEAVES 3 DEAD, 16 INJURED Rodriguez ignored the warnings and continued advancing with the knife raised above his head, according to police. He then quickened his pace and closed the distance between him and the officer while the officer retreated. The officer fired one round from his department-issued firearm, striking Rodriguez in the chest. DEMOCRAT LAWMAKER'S 107 MPH TRAFFIC STOP BRINGS BODYCAM BATTLE FRONT AND CENTER AGAIN Bodycam video from the second officer shows Rodriguez falling to the ground as the knife drops from his hand. The officers immediately called for backup and requested emergency medical personnel. WITNESSES RECOUNT 'SCARY' NYC STABBING AFTER SUSPECT ALLEGEDLY YELLED 'ALLAHU AKBAR' DURING ATTACKS "Officer needs help," one officer can be heard saying before asking witnesses to remain at the scene. As police approached Rodriguez and checked him for additional weapons, an officer discovered a second knife in his right pants pocket. Officers also spotted the handle of a third knife sticking out of his backpack, police said. Investigators described the knife carried during the confrontation as a large, fixed-blade "fighting and utility style" weapon with a clip-point blade, protective hand guard, metal grip and serrations along part of its spine. BYSTANDERS HAILED AS 'HEROIC' AFTER INTERVENING IN BRUTAL KNIFE ATTACK BY SUDANESE MIGRANT IN UK Officers immediately began treating Rodriguez, applying gauze and a chest seal to his wound before performing chest compressions. "Come on, you need to breathe," an officer can be heard pleading as police continued their lifesaving efforts. Santa Monica Fire Department personnel later took over medical care and transported Rodriguez to a local hospital. He was pronounced dead in the emergency room at approximately 1:49 p.m. Rodriguez died from a gunshot wound to the chest, according to the medical examiner, who ruled his death a homicide. The case remains open, according to agency records. No officers, bystanders or other members of the public were injured. DRAMATIC BODYCAM VIDEO CAPTURES NYPD OFFICER RESCUING WOMAN FROM TOP OF BROOKLYN BRIDGE AFTER EMOTIONAL PLEA "Any loss of life is tragic, and we recognize the impact on the family, our officers and our community," Santa Monica Police Chief Darrick Jacob said. "Our officers face difficult and dangerous situations every day," Jacob continued. "When a life is lost during a police encounter, our responsibility to provide a clear and open account is especially important. Releasing this video is an important step in providing that account to our community." The Santa Monica Police Department said detectives are conducting a criminal investigation into the shooting. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office will separately review the officer’s use of deadly force, while the police department conducts an internal administrative investigation. Authorities cautioned that the bodycam video and accompanying briefing reflect preliminary evidence and do not represent final findings or conclusions.

Rybakina had already been guaranteed to replace Sabalenka at No. 1 in the women's tennis world rankings next week, but she did more than inherit the top spot. She claimed the title Sabalenka had won the previous two years, making the changing of the guard official. Rybakina was still processing the special moment afterward. "It’s tough to find words right now, honestly," Rybakina said. "I don’t expect nothing like this coming to this tournament.

Sabalenka entered Saturday’s final with a 19-match winning streak at the U.S. Open, where she had not lost since falling to Coco Gauff in the 2023 final. Sabalenka was trying to become the first person since Serena Williams from 2012-14 to win three in a row at Flushing Meadows. "I really felt like home here and cannot wait to come back next year," Sabalenka said. "I wish I could perform a little bit better, but I guess next year." Saturday marked the third U.S. Open women’s final since 2000 between the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds, and the first won by the No. 2 seed. Serena Williams was the top seed in the other two, defeating her sister Venus in 2002 and Victoria Azarenka in 2013. VENUS AND SERENA WILLIAMS' HIGHLY ANTICIPATED US OPEN RETURN ENDS IN HEARTBREAKING LOSS Rybakina was born in Russia but represents Kazakhstan. She won her first major title at Wimbledon in 2022. A win at the French Open would complete a career Grand Slam for the 27-year-old. Rybakina did show some frustration after pulling a backhand wide with a break point in the opening game of the third set, but soon she had taken charge of the match for good.

Jason Duron, a watch commander at the Malibu/Lost Hills sheriff’s station, told the Los Angeles Times: "We are stepping up patrols of the property to be safe. Eduardo Negrón, a Harris spokesman, told The Times: "Last night, security personnel stopped an individual who illegally entered Vice President Harris and Second Gentleman [Doug] Emhoff’s property before the individual reached the home. They are grateful to the security and law enforcement personnel who responded swiftly." Negrón said neither Harris nor former second gentleman Emhoff were home at the time. The couple bought the ritzy property last January. The former vice president is a native of the Golden State, and she served as District Attorney of San Francisco, Attorney General of California and as a senator representing the state before she joined Biden’s presidential ticket.

Ayanle Siad Barre, 61, lives in the Columbus area, home to a large Somali community, the New York Post reported. The outlet also identified his sister, Deka Mohamed Siad, as living in Ohio. Their father ruled Somalia from 1969, until his government was overthrown in 1991. His regime has been accused of mass killings that left as many as 200,000 people dead, torture and other human rights abuses, including atrocities against the Isaaq clan. Mohamed Siad Barre died in 1995. Historian and Oxford University doctoral researcher Mohamed Haji Ingiriis described Ayanle as his father's "right-hand man" and alleged that he wielded significant power within the government, according to the Post. Fox News Digital has not independently verified those allegations. TRUMP DOJ ESCALATES CITIZENSHIP CRACKDOWN ON GROUP ACCUSED OF HIDING TERROR TIES, VIOLENT CRIMES Fox News Digital previously reported that another figure from the Barre era, former Somali military commander Yusuf Abdi Ali, had lived in the U.S. before being deported. An immigration judge determined in 2024 that Ali personally engaged in torture while serving in the Somali National Army, and ordered soldiers under his command to detain and torture civilians and assist in extrajudicial killings, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Ali, who had been living as a permanent resident in Virginia, was deported to Somalia in December 2024. "The United States will not be a safe haven for those who commit human rights violations," ICE official Russell Hott said at the time. EX-PHILIPPINE PRESIDENT DUTERTE TO FACE TRIAL ON CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY CHARGES The Post also reported that Ayanle established a translation-services company called Somal Global Services. His sister, Deka, and her late husband operated Vanguard Home Health Care, which received more than $1.8 million in Medicare funding, according to documents reviewed by the publication. The Post reported that the company appeared to have operated legitimately and filed the appropriate paperwork. Some survivors of the Barre regime are now calling for U.S. authorities to investigate members of the former dictator's family. Human rights activist Suleiman Bolaleh called for an investigation to determine what Barre family members knew or did during the dictatorship, according to the Post. DOJ CHARGES 19 DEFENDANTS IN ALLEGED $4M PHILADELPHIA MEDICARE AND MEDICAID FRAUD The calls for an investigation do not establish wrongdoing by Ayanle or other family members.

The U.S. advanced to the FIBA Women’s World Cup championship game with a 76-66 victory over Spain in Berlin on Saturday, one day after the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Lawson said after the USA's semifinal win over Spain that winning the championship would carry added meaning after the somber anniversary. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! "I think, you know, being a part of USA Basketball for so long, there’s a great pride in it," Lawson said. "I mean, from when I was 17 years old until now, being a part of it in different capacities, you know, I think—I don’t know if there’s anyone prouder to represent the U.S. than I am in this capacity. "And so we think about that. And I felt the presence of the U.S. here, even though we are in Europe. I felt it, and certainly felt it yesterday in 9/11 and, you know, a somber anniversary." The 2001 terrorist attacks killed nearly 3,000 people in New York City, at the Pentagon and near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Americans marked the milestone Friday with remembrance ceremonies across the country. Lawson called the anniversary a "powerful memory" that remains with her and the team beyond one day. OPINION: SPORTS IS ONE OF AMERICA'S GREATEST TRADITIONS AND A POWERFUL FORCE THAT UNITES US "And it’s something that was, you know, a powerful memory, and something that is on our minds, certainly on that day, but really other days as well," Lawson said. "It would mean a ton to win a World Cup for our country. We’re proud to be Americans, and we’re proud to represent USA. And to win a World Cup would be an amazing thing." Lawson also said the team’s potential influence reaches beyond a women’s basketball community that has experienced heated rivalries and divisions in recent years. "And as far as unity, I think unity is not just exclusive to the women’s basketball community," Lawson said. "I think it’s unity for our country as well. "I think our team hopefully is creating unity across our country. People being proud about how we play and how we represent the red, white and blue." Lawson’s connection to USA Basketball began as a teenager. She later helped the Americans win an Olympic gold medal as a player at the 2008 Beijing Games. She coached the U.S. to the inaugural women’s 3x3 basketball gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics and served as an assistant on the team that won gold at the 2024 Paris Games. USA Basketball selected Lawson in 2025 to lead the women’s national team through the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. CAITLIN CLARK, ANGEL REESE SHOW UNITY FOR TEAM USA AT WORLD CUP AMID TENSE HISTORY She is now one victory away from winning her first major international championship as the head coach of the five-on-five senior team. The Americans had to fight for that opportunity Saturday. Spain tied the semifinal at 58 entering the fourth quarter. The U.S. then held Spain to eight points in the final period and used a 12-2 run to pull away. Breanna Stewart led Team USA with 16 points. Kahleah Copper added 13, while Jackie Young finished with 12. The victory extended the Americans’ World Cup winning streak to 35 games. The U.S. has not lost in the tournament since falling to Russia in the 2006 semifinals. Team USA will face France in Sunday’s championship game after the French defeated host Germany 86-64 in the other semifinal. The matchup will be a rematch of the 2024 Olympic gold-medal game in Paris. The U.S. escaped that contest with a 67-66 victory after France’s Gabby Williams made a shot with her foot on the 3-point line as time expired. France entered the World Cup final undefeated and moved ahead of the U.S. in FIBA’s final power ranking after group play. The Americans are pursuing their fifth consecutive World Cup championship and 12th overall. France is appearing in its first World Cup final. Faith has also remained an important part of the experience for Team USA guard Paige Bueckers. Bueckers, who has spoken openly about her Christian beliefs throughout her college and professional career, was asked how important her relationship with Jesus Christ has been during the tournament. "My faith has always been important to me," Bueckers said. "It’s carried me through life. It’s been my rock, my foundation. So, I take that with me wherever I go."

I am a non-incumbent candidate for the Arizona House of Representatives, Legislative District 16. I have served in the United States Air Force, on the City of Maricopa City Council (two terms), as the Director of Veterans Upward Bound at Arizona State University, as a Senior Advisor with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs as a presidential appointee and most recently as legislative liaison with the Arizona Department of Veterans Services (AZDVS) working with both Democrats & Republicans in both the Arizona House and Senate. A few weeks ago, Arizona Clean Elections held a “debate” for all candidates, and the two incumbents failed to show up. Last week, the Pinal County Supervisors held a meeting to approve the La Osa Data Center in Eloy, Arizona. I attended that meeting (and the prior meeting held in July), with a room full of community members & union groups opposed to or in favor of this project. I waited my turn to speak and oppose this project, while once again our “elected” representatives were not present. Yesterday, I attended a “No Flock Cameras” rally outside the City of Maricopa City Hall before the scheduled City Council meeting. We had great conversations and everyone present expressed their opposition to these cameras. Many of us joined the “Call to the Public” portion of the City Council meeting to express our concerns and opposition to these cameras. Our two elected/incumbent Arizona House of Representatives were once again not present. In my comments addressed to the Council, I delivered copies of four water bills: Global Water Resources, Arizona Water Company, Maricopa Consolidated Water Improvement District, and City of Chandler Utility Services. Before I delivered my comments, a councilmember and the Mayor praised Global Water Resources in their updates. At Call to the Public, Global Water Resources, Mr. Corwin mentioned “in Maricopa, we do not use Colorado River water; we use groundwater”. In providing my water bills, I wanted the City Council (and the public, these are now public records) to compare these bills since Global Water Resources requested yet another rate increase to our water. This is the same privately owned water company that was to be the water provider in the “failed” La Osa Data Center. In my opinion, this is corporate greed increasing our utility costs while depleting the one resource we need for human consumption and survival: water! During this election cycle, I have been canvassing and traveling throughout the district, and water, our overinflated utility bills, data centers, and Flock cameras are all non-partisan issues our residents care deeply about. Once again, I ask you, where do our state (and city) representatives stand on these issues? You have my word: if elected, I will stand with our communities in opposing data centers and Flock cameras, fight against rising utility bills, and protect and conserve our water resources.

His family, with whom Duckworth was part of the band Taylor Made, shared in the obituary that, while pursuing a career as a country music star, he "was a devoted dump truck driver for Wolfe’s Excavating," earning him the nickname, "Truck Boss."  They added that "he truly enjoyed" the job "because it allowed him to spend his days outdoors." "Music was also a special part of his life. He loved to sing and proudly performed with his family band, Taylor Made. Brian never passed up an opportunity to share his voice, earning him the affectionate nickname 'Nashville.'" DOLLY PARTON'S SISTER REVEALS ‘LAST THING’ COUNTRY LEGEND ASKED OF HER BEFORE DEATH Duckworth grew up signing with his brother, Greg, and his sister, Wendy Williams, with the trio coming together in 2008 to form the band I-79 performing under that name for the first time at the Colgate Country Showdown. They later changed their name to Taylor Made and made a name for themselves with hit songs such as "Things You Don’t Grow Out Of," which reached No. 36 on the Billboard Indicator chart. He is survived by his wife of nearly 16 years, Tina, his six children, Zach, Ashton, Logan, Kayla, Michael and Matt, as well as his four grandchildren and five brothers and sisters. "Above all, Brian treasured his family and the special memories they created together," the obituary read. "He also dearly loved his faithful fur family, who were constant companions and brought him great comfort and happiness. Brian’s love of family, music, and the outdoors will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew and loved him."

"I grew up watching my dad, Aunt Wendy, and Uncle Brian perform at fairs and festivals until I was finally old enough to join them on a few occasions," Kazner wrote. "As I’ve gotten older and started writing my own music, I knew the guy to call whenever I got creatively ‘stuck.’ He truly had such a way with song lyrics that I knew without a doubt Uncle Brian would pull me out of the songwriter’s slump."

The Wolverines used a steady dose of quarterback runs and won the turnover battle en route to a 17-10, grind-it-out win over 11th-ranked Oklahoma in Ann Arbor. Just one week removed from a controversial victory against Western Michigan, in which officials added an extra second to the clock to allow for a game-winning Hail Mary, many had written the Wolverines off for dead. Instead, head coach Kyle Whittingham and his team buckled down and rose to the challenge. BRYCE UNDERWOOD ADDRESSES KYLE WHITTINGHAM'S COMMENTS ABOUT REMAINING STARTING QB AT MICHIGAN Make no mistake about it, this was a vintage Big Ten performance. A lot of talk in the offseason was spent on how elite Oklahoma's defense was, and while the Sooners' unit played admirably, the Michigan defense was stifling and, at times, completely suffocating. John Mateer, who many tapped as a dark horse Heisman contender heading into 2026, was harassed all day long by the Wolverines, completing just 52% of his passes and tossing an interception to boot. For his part, Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood rebounded nicely, specifically on the ground. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! The beleaguered sophomore carried the ball 18 times for 87 yards and found the end zone late in the first quarter to help the Wolverines draw first blood. The Sooners entered as 5.5-point favorites and, more importantly, College Football Playoff hopefuls. They still have plenty of time to right the ship, but losing to a Michigan team in transition has to feel like a splash of cold water to the face in Norman. Somehow, the Wolverines are 2-0 after the first two weeks of the college football season. If you had said that 60:01 of game time earlier, even the most optimistic Michigan fan would have laughed in your face. Now the Maize and Blue have a signature win under their belt, which could be the difference between a trip to the CFP and a prolonged offseason come December.

Reservations for one surged 22% year over year in the third quarter of 2025, according to restaurant technology company Toast’s latest trends report, suggesting that dining alone may be losing its stigma. Single-diner bookings still accounted for less than 1% of total reservations, according to Toast, but industry experts say it reflects a broader shift and opportunity in the restaurant world. The trend was also evident in the af&co. and Carbonate 2024 Hospitality Trends Report, which cited Brandwatch data showing interest in eating as a party of one had increased 7% year over year. WEIGHT-LOSS DRUGS ARE CHANGING DINING AS CUSTOMERS EAT HALF THEIR MEALS, TAKE REST HOME, CELEBRITY CHEF SAYS "People stopped waiting for someone else to be free," Stephen Ingber, owner of Denver private-chef and catering company MileHighCook, told Fox News Digital. "A good meal used to require a date or a group to justify it. Now it just requires a reservation." Ingber said about 15% of his bookings are now for one guest and that has risen annually. Some solo customers even book weekly or monthly, he added, and are often the best kind of customer. Solo dining has also grown across both quick-service and full-service restaurants, as more consumers, especially Gen Z and millenials, embrace meals centered on convenience and personal enjoyment, Fox News Digital previously reported. RESTAURANTS BAN DINERS' PHONES DURING MEALS AS NO-SCROLL TREND GROWS: PUT IT AWAY OR ELSE "It's a small slice that is growing fast," agreed Terry Psaltakis, a 30-year restaurant operator from Chicago and founder of ShiftTrained. Experts say restaurants that offer bar seating, smaller tables with a view, wine by the glass or half-bottle options and menus that do not assume sharing are best for solo diners. EX-WAITRESS REVEALS RESTAURANT TIPPING SECRET MOST CUSTOMERS DON'T REALIZE — EXPERT CALLS IT 'BAD HOSPITALITY' Just as important, Psaltakis said, is giving solo guests the same care and service as larger parties. Without company to distract them, they are there solely for the dining experience. "Get it right and that solo diner turns into a regular who comes back every week and knows your bartender by name," Psaltakis said. For diners who feel self-conscious, Ingber and Psaltakis both recommend the bar. "Ask the bartender what they’d order," he said. "A good one, a ready one, lights up." COWBOY CHEF SAYS PHONES AND SCREENS AT DINNER ARE TEARING AMERICAN FAMILIES APART Dining alone isn't always a sign of loneliness, Rene Mondy, a Georgia-based licensed grief therapist and founder of The Solo Dining Directory, told Fox News Digital. "Solo diners in healthy relationships seem to understand that dining with a partner or surrounded by friends doesn’t always equal connection," Mondy said. While some diners might be hungry for conversation, others might relish in the alone time, Ingber said. He recommended using the experience as an opportunity to order something you might avoid with company or on a date, and not hiding behind a phone or book. He also says to remember one thing: "Nobody is looking at you, and if they are, they're jealous." Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aa5bfb075342cf4db859cdd Former ESPN host hypocritically calls network a 'political lobbying firm' after Ted Cruz appearance te 2026-09-12T21:10:08.351Z Former ESPN host hypocritically calls network a 'political lobbying firm' after Ted Cruz appearance Former ESPN personality, and one of the most politically divisive sports personalities of our lifetime, Jemele Hill, and countless liberals on social media are losing their minds over the fact that Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was invited as a guest on ESPN's "College GameDay" to have a discussion with host Rece Davis about the bipartisan "Save College Sports Act," which he co-authored. Hill posted on X, "Did not know ESPN had become a political lobbying firm." The lack of self awareness is astounding. Hill hosted a show on ESPN called SC6 with another woke personality, Michael Smith, in which they discussed divisive political ideologies, mainly focused on race, even going as far as promoting Black Lives Matter. JEMELE HILL POSTS MISLEADING STUDY TO SUGGEST THERE ARE TOO MANY 'WHITE MEN' IN SPORTS MEDIA On July 12, 2016, Hill and Smith discussed four police officers leaving a WNBA game after Minnesota Lynx players wore Black Lives Matter shirts. Hill argued that demanding "accountability of police officers who commit unjust actions" was not equivalent to disrespecting police. ESPN itself had Hill moderate its August 2016 "Athletes, Responsibility and Violence" town hall, which focused specifically on athletes, guns, violence and law enforcement. In 2017, Hill made numerous inflammatory, awful comments about police, President Donald Trump, and conservatives. Hill claimed the "policing & judicial system are institutionally racist," endorsing the idea that law enforcement needs reform. Hill also echoed and agreed with Colin Kaepernick's statements about comparing cops to the "slave patrols" that enforced discipline on pre-Civil War plantations. Hill's post on Twitter calling Trump a "white supremacist" also caused ESPN to release a public statement distancing themselves from the employee's rhetoric. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! ESPN has also overtly lobbied for Democrat policies.  In 2022, former ESPN personality, Elle Duncan, who is now unfortunately the face of Netflix's sports programming, protested Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ "Don’t Say Gay" bill (The Florida Parental Rights in Education Act) live on air. Duncan was upset that the bill would restrict classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity for kindergarten through 3rd grade, stating, "We understand the gravity of this legislation and also how it’s affecting so many families across this country, and because of that, our allyship is going to take a front seat, and with that, we’re going to pause in solidarity," said Duncan." That kind of lobbying has no business in sports. It has nothing to do with sports. It was overtly politically divisive. The same cannot be said about Cruz and the "Save College Sports Act." Don't forget this either: in 2023, ESPN celebrated Lia Thomas, a male who stole records, opportunities, and trophies from real women, during Women’s History Month. It was definitively divisive and politically partisan. The list goes on and on. The problem is, Hill is so lost in her woke ideology, she doesn't know how much of a hypocrite she is. She is willfully ignorant to how ESPN has been a mouthpiece for Democrats, especially over the last six years. Also, "College GameDay" hosted Pennsylvania Democrat Gov. Josh Shapiro in 2025 during its visit to the University of Pittsburgh. Hill had nothing to say about that. Why? It doesn't fit her narrative. All in all, no matter what side of the political aisle you sit on, or how you feel about Cruz, him joining "College GameDay" to discuss the "chaos" college sports is going through because of a lack of regulation on NIL, the transfer portal, and more, it is not divisive or politically partisan like Hill and ESPN has been over the years. Many of the people in the crowd who booed and those online freaking out about this need to get over themselves. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aa5bd5b75342cf4db859ca0 Anthropic CEO calls on AI industry to slow down tech race, drawing support from Elon Musk, Sam Altman te 2026-09-12T21:00:11.760Z Anthropic CEO calls on AI industry to slow down tech race, drawing support from Elon Musk, Sam Altman A tech titan's call to slow the artificial intelligence arms race ignited fierce reaction online, with some fellow executives insisting that the United States can't surrender its lead role in the rapidly evolving industry, while others warned that unbridled progress could threaten the very future of mankind. In an essay published Saturday, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei urged caution and warned that advances in AI technology could outpace humans' ability to control the technology. "We must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models. Progress will still seem fast, and we must make wise use of the time we gain," Amodei wrote. REP. TED LIEU: AI IS ALREADY TOO POWERFUL. WE NEED A KILL SWITCH BEFORE DISASTER STRIKES "Left unchecked, it could outrun our ability to understand and control these systems, and so must be pursued very carefully, if at all," Amodei added. The essay drew high-profile support from tech executives, with SpaceX CEO and xAI founder Elon Musk backing Amodei, posting, "Dario is right." OpenAI CEO Sam Altman similarly posted on X, writing, "I agree with Dario that we need to pace the frontier." RESEARCHER WHO DEPARTED AI ROLE OVER FEARS OF RACING INTO EXTINCTION SAYS PEOPLE ARE 'BEGGING' FOR REGULATION Former OpenAI researcher Daniel Kokotajlo responded to Amodei's essay on "Fox News Live" Saturday, arguing that voluntary industry measures might not be enough to prevent advanced systems from escaping human control. "After they've accumulated all of the hard power in the world, they run the factories, they're integrated into the military, you know, they're sort of running the whole system, and humans are just sort of giving them orders," Kokotajlo said. "Then they stop taking orders at some points, and they kill off the humans." FETTERMAN ALIGNS WITH TRUMP ON AI PUSH, WARNS CHINA BENEFITS FROM US 'OVERREACTION' However, former White House AI "czar" David Sacks pushed back against AI warnings, including a viral post from former Anthropic staffer Jacob Coxon.  "[The warnings are] designed to scare the public about AI so that these NGOs can implement their preferred approach to AI, which is a government takeover," Sacks told "Special Report" on Thursday.  BIOWEAPON THREAT EXPOSED AS ANTHROPIC SOUNDS ALARM ON FOREIGN ACTORS PLOTTING VIRUS EXPERIMENTS Kokotajlo dismissed claims that AI safety advocates are working with foreign actors or NGOs, noting that he personally retweeted Coxon's statement after Coxon resigned. "Is this a Chinese plot? No, of course not," Kokotajlo said, adding that warnings are coming from academics and industry veterans. WHEN AI TESTS CAUSE DAMAGE, WE NEED STRONGER SAFEGUARDS AND REAL ACCOUNTABILITY Although Kokotajlo said he appreciated Amodei's comments, he argued that guardrails imposed by private companies might not be enough. "I'm happy to see Dario coming out and saying this... it's still a step in the right direction," Kokotajlo said. "But also, I worry that they're not going to go far enough and that we need to do something that's more radical," he added. DEM SENATOR PRESSES OPENAI, ANTHROPIC FOR ANSWERS IN AI HACKING PROBE Lawmakers have raised similar concerns about AI regulation. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., called on Congress to "convene a special session on AI and what the future of the U.S. looks like." AI IS MAKING HUGE CHANGES IN HOW WARS ARE FOUGHT. WE AREN’T READY FOR WHAT COMES NEXT Speaking on "Fox News Live," Luna described advanced AI as a "massive — uncontrolled currently — super weapon" and urged lawmakers to treat the emerging technology with the same level of caution as nuclear arms. "AI doesn't just stop at state lines. It has the ability to, in some of the experiments that they have observed, to jump out of its box in its system. It has formed its own language," Luna said. "We have [to] ensure that there's a kill switch in place to protect humanity. I think that that's a very measured approach on this," she added. Luna said that while lawmakers need to implement safeguards, the United States cannot afford to slow down and lose ground to foreign adversaries in AI development. "Whoever controls AI will control, effectively, the world," Luna said. "Do we want that AI to be programmed and learned on our morals, our values as Americans, or do we want it done as dystopian China? I would argue that we have to win that race."

Afterward, Stewart said the difference was sticking with the fundamentals as the pressure mounted. "Just continue to do the little things," Stewart said. "Honing in on the rebounding, making sure that we were getting to the offensive glass. Defensively, we picked up in the second half." Stewart also made clear the Americans understand what’s next.

The 66-year-old star was photographed while out-and-about in West Hollywood. He was photographed driving around town in his motorcycle, which featured yellow rims and accents throughout. In the photos, Nelson sported a long beard and long hair, which he covered with either a gray baseball cap or a black helmet. He kept things casual in a pair of camo pants, a red and blue flannel shirt, layered with a long black coat, which he accessorized with a pair of black sunglasses. ROB LOWE EMBRACES BRAT PACK LABEL AFTER REVEALING NICKNAME WAS ‘DESIGNED TO BELITTLE’ FAMOUS GROUP Nelson rose to fame in the 1980s as a member of the infamous Brat Pack, which was a nickname given to a group of young actors who frequently appeared in movies together throughout the decade. The term was a play on the Rat Pack, which referred to a group of Las Vegas entertainers who often performed together in the 1950s and 60s, including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr. PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE Other members include Nelson's "The Breakfast Club" co-stars, Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy and Anthony Michael Hall, as well as Demi Moore, Andrew McCarthy and Rob Lowe.

"You look gorgeous but not a fan of the outfit, less chic than usual :/," one commenter wrote. Another questioned the unusual setting, asking, "Love her, but why at a post office?"

In an August interview with Business Insider, the former "Laguna Beach" star said Uncommon James remains at the center of her busy work schedule, alongside her Fizzen sparkling protein drink, "Let's Be Honest" podcast and entertainment projects. KRISTIN CAVALLARI ADMITS HER KIDS FLY COACH WHILE SHE SITS IN FIRST CLASS "My three kids, who are 10, 12, and 14, are my first priority," Cavallari told the outlet. "Next comes Uncommon James, the jewelry, skincare, and homeware company brand I launched in 2017." Despite being the face of the company, Cavallari said much of her work happens far from a traditional office. "For the rest of the week, I'm usually working on my laptop at my kitchen counter," she said. "It's a mix of editing podcasts, prepping for guest interviews, and pitching projects over Zoom." Cavallari described herself as a "big picture" founder who particularly enjoys the creative side of building the brand.

GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE Cavallari was 17 when she became a reality television star on MTV's "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County" before later appearing on its spinoff, "The Hills." "When I was on 'Laguna Beach,' I didn't have business aspirations," she told Business Insider. "To be honest, I don't think I had any aspirations at 17. Once I was on TV, however, doors opened, and I ran with the opportunities." That eventually led Cavallari to launch Uncommon James. "I wanted to prove to everyone, and to myself, that I could make it in the branding world," she said. "That's why I launched Uncommon James." Nearly a decade later, Cavallari said her definition of success has shifted. "I've done the hustle, and although I'm still grinding, success for me would look like slower mornings, a peaceful mind, and having time in my day to do what I want." Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aa5b3fb75342cf4db859b68 As Americans are crushed by affordability, growing trend of mayors pushing cash handouts as the answer te 2026-09-12T20:20:11.075Z As Americans are crushed by affordability, growing trend of mayors pushing cash handouts as the answer A spokesperson for the Economic Securities Project (ESP), an organization that led the creation of more than 100 guaranteed income programs, told Fox News Digital that affordability is creating the "need to bring cash to communities even more urgent." "Further, the destruction of the social safety net paired with skyrocketing costs of healthcare and food have made the need to bring cash to communities even more urgent," ESP's Director of Cash Initiatives, Shafeka Hashash, told Fox News Digital. "Amid the affordability crisis, we have a responsibility to share what we know about cash: that it provides stability, supports economic mobility and helps families move toward a more economically secure future," she added. GUARANTEED INCOME PROGRAM TARGETS LOW-INCOME HOMES LED BY BLACK MOMS AS CASH HANDOUTS SURGE NATIONWIDE As Americans are struggling with rising housing, food and energy costs, both parties are trying to convince voters they have the answer to the affordability crisis ahead of the high-stakes midterm elections. The past holiday weekend was emblematic of ongoing concern over affordability. The AAA estimated that nearly 40 million Americans would pay unprecedented prices for gasoline, foisting the most expensive Labor Day holiday at the pump on record. Meanwhile, the ESP has been pushing for guaranteed income long before affordability became a salient issue. Founded in 2016, ESP originally launched with more than "100 entrepreneurs, activists, researchers, and philanthropists" advocating for direct cash payments. Hashash’s comments came after ESP released a report published Aug. 12 and titled "Right on Time: How Cash Helps Families Move Through Life’s Transitions," making the case for institutionalizing "no-strings-attached" cash assistance. The push comes as city leaders across the nation face a financial cliff. Dozens of municipal mayors are scrambling to maintain local cash-handout experiments as the federal pandemic aid that funded them nears its final spending deadline. CHICAGO SUBURB EXPANDS CASH HANDOUTS AS RACE-BASED REPARATIONS PROGRAM FACES MAJOR LEGAL BATTLE The report's authors build their case by citing "a wealth of data collected from over 250 cash and guaranteed-income pilots across 40 states and the District of Columbia," claiming the findings prove that direct cash transfers are a "legitimate policy tool." However, rather than pushing immediate, universal cash handouts nationwide, the authors suggest a tactical shift of tying direct payments to specific life events. Cash assistance works best during periods of personal or financial hardship, they argued, writing that "cash does its strongest work in moments of transition." The report highlights life events such as having a child, housing relocation or post-incarceration reentry.  Hashash told Fox News Digital that the "‘cash for transitions’ memo was not inspired by the lack of federal funding." "It is a reflection of our learnings and observations from more than 250 pilots across 40 states over the past decade. We examined the data and found cash has its greatest impact in moments of transition. These findings are increasingly urgent and resonant across the field as our society collectively grapples with how to approach mass transitions in the face of an increasingly AI-powered economy," she explained. The report pointed to the COVID-19 pandemic as a prime model, calling direct government checks an example of "large-scale transfers" that reached "households at speed and scale." ALBUQUERQUE USES WEED TAX TO FUND 'NO-STRINGS-ATTACHED' GUARANTEED INCOME, SPARKING POLICY DEBATE Advocates and mayors are hoping to transform pandemic-era cash assistance programs into permanent government policy now that federal COVID-19 relief funds are expiring. Under federal law, local governments had until Dec. 31, 2024, to legally obligate their American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, and most obligated funds must be fully spent by Dec. 31, 2026.  The broader campaign for direct payments includes Mayors for a Guaranteed Income, led by former Stockton, California, Mayor Michael Tubbs. Tubbs, who launched one of the nation's early municipal cash experiments in Stockton, has long argued that federal tax dollars should fund income supplements to help lower-income Americans keep up with rising inflation, rent and groceries, claiming it's a viable policy to tackle affordability. DIRECTOR OF 'CASH GIVEAWAY' PROGRAM TAILORED TO NEW MOTHERS GRILLED ON HOW TAXPAYER FUNDING IS USED IN DEBATE In the Chicago suburb of Evanston, Illinois, municipal officials recently announced an expansion of the city's guaranteed income program using the remainder of previously allocated ARPA funds before the spending clock runs out. Evanston is one of more than 100 U.S. municipalities that have launched universal basic income-style pilots since 2018. While many early experiments relied on a blend of private philanthropic dollars and emergency federal stimulus, those coffers are rapidly hitting zero. The looming shortfalls are driving local officials to find alternative avenues to make cash handouts permanent, mirroring recent tax-funded budget maneuvers in neighboring Cook County, Illinois. State affiliates are already moving forward. Economic Security California, an ESP arm, is laying groundwork for state-funded guaranteed income programs. California leads the country in pilot programs, hosting more than 60 cash initiatives to date. To sustain these efforts, ESP recommends that local and state governments look beyond donor funding and establish dedicated revenue streams from local taxes. "We can say, however, that there’s an active and growing movement for cash in hundreds of communities across the country," Hashash said. She added: "We regularly take calls from some of the 1,500 members of the Guaranteed Income Community of Practice – researchers, nonprofits, local government officials, and community leaders all interested in bringing cash to their neighborhoods. We just can’t announce any pilots or policies before the localities do."

On Sept. 4, Macklemore opened for Ed Sheeran at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and he used his time onstage to perform his anti-Israel song, "Hind's Hall." He repeatedly chanted "Free Palestine" while a slideshow played on the screen behind him, showing footage from the war in Gaza. Several fans were upset by the performance, including an Instagram page called "Stop Antisemitism." The page shared a video criticizing Macklemore, calling the move "awful." Pink reposted the video to her own Instagram story, which started a new wave of backlash from people criticizing her for seemingly being pro-Israel. MICHAEL RAPAPORT SLAMS ‘CLOWN’ MACKLEMORE FOR ANTI-ISRAEL PERFORMANCE Initially, Pink didn't explicitly share her own thoughts on the matter, but on Sept. 11, she took to Instagram to explain her thoughts in an emotional statement. "I’ve been quiet in my own words for a week, which you know isn’t like me. So here they are," she began. The "So What" singer explained that she'd reposted the video that was critical of Macklemore, which "said things in words I didn’t write, and I wouldn’t have chosen all of them." She maintained that "a repost isn't a statement," then wrote, "I’d rather be disagreed with for what I actually said than hated for what anybody else wrote, so let me say it." LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS "I was born a Jew," she continued. "I didn’t pick it, and I’ve never hidden it. And this week a whole lot of people decided what I believe without asking me, without checking a single thing I’ve ever said or done, because a repost and the word 'Jew' were apparently enough to fill in the rest. But let me fill it in... myself." "Of course I don’t speak for Israel, or for any government. I never have. What I said in October 2023 is still exactly what I believe: Hamas is a terrorist organization. Palestinians deserve a future that honors their humanity and their aspirations. Protecting innocent life comes first, everywhere, and nobody should ever celebrate the death of a child. Anybody’s child." JERRY SEINFELD GIVES BLUNT THREE-WORD RESPONSE TO INFLUENCER ASKING FOR A 'FREE PALESTINE' She detailed the work she's done with UNICEF over the years, spending time with children "on both sides of that fence," and said, "I’m not going to litigate a complex war in an Instagram caption, and I’m not going to recite anybody’s slogan to earn back a follower." Pink went on to explain that what she was "reacting to" was Macklemore himself. She recalled him performing his song "Same Love" at the Grammys in 2014, and how she cheered on the message, but "Four months later Macklemore put on a hooked nose, a black beard and a bowl cut, performed in it, and called it a 'random costume.'" "Every Jew I know knew exactly what it was. The same love, it turned out, had a guest list, and we weren’t on it. But he apologized, and I let it go, because that’s what we do. We let it go. Then last weekend he stood in front of a stadium full of music-loving families, with violent images from a war on the screens, dedicated a song to the movement of his choice, and then took the mic to tell all of the Jews in the stadium that it wasn’t about them." She added, "You don’t get to decide that for us." PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE "That’s what prompted my repost," she wrote. "Not 'Free Palestine,' and not anyone’s right to say it. I have never asked for another artist to be silenced and I’m not asking now. I don’t need anyone fired, and I don’t need a refund. What I need is to be able to say, as a Jewish mom, 'that scared me, and it scared people I love,' without being told our fear is just propaganda, and without being told I’m somehow cool with genocide because I noticed?" Pink wrote that she's always stood up for her beliefs, even when she is criticized for it, citing her own protest song, "Dear Mr. President," which she wrote in 2006 in response to the Iraq War. "I have stood up for other people’s people my whole career, and I know exactly what it costs," she said. "And now I’m standing up for my own people, and I thought I knew going in how lonely that would be. And it’s lonelier than that. But I’m doing it anyway." "Something has changed in this country, and I can read it in my own comments. 'From the river to the sea.' 'Zionist,' spat like it’s a slur, by people who couldn’t tell you the details of what I believe, because I hadn’t told them yet. I wasn’t asked. I was told. I don’t think most of them hate Jews. I think somebody handed them a story where the Jew who won’t apologize for existing must be the villain, and they’ve been putting words in my mouth ever since." She said that while she can take being portrayed as a villain, "I just won't take it quietly, and I'm not going to teach my kids to." GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE Pink added, "So, to the ones who are furious with me: you don’t have to agree with me. You never did. That’s been our unspoken agreement for twenty-five years, and it still stands, and so do I. You don’t have to agree with one thing Israel’s government does to not want the Jewish family two rows down from you to be scared or targeted at a concert. That’s the only thing I’m asking anybody for. To the ones who are frightened this week, Jewish or Muslim or Palestinian or Israeli or just tired of all of it: I see you. And if anybody wants to really know what I think, just ask me. I’m right here. I’ve never been hard to find. And I’ll keep speaking out, in my own words." She ended her post by acknowledging the anniversary of 9/11, as well as Rosh Hashanah, saying, "Now I’m going to go make dinner for my kids, light the candles, dip some apples in honey, pour a glass of wine and be full of gratitude. That’s my tradition. It also happens to be a Jewish one. Shana tova." Following the original wave of backlash against his performance, Macklemore shared a video to Instagram of himself speaking onstage, explaining that one of the reasons he chose to tour with Sheeran was to be able to say "Free Palestine" in front of a large audience. "Wanting all humans to be treated equal should never be controversial," he wrote in his caption.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aa5b1a175342cf4db859b06 Henry Winkler's wife says the actor tends to exaggerate about the size of his ... fish te 2026-09-12T20:10:09.541Z Henry Winkler's wife says the actor tends to exaggerate about the size of his ... fish Henry Winkler has been married to his wife, Stacey, for nearly five decades, so at this point, she knows him pretty well. Including, apparently, when he's exaggerating about the size of his... fish. The "Happy Days" star and his wife joined Graham Bensinger for an interview recently, where the couple talked about their marriage, how they met and the one activity that somehow transforms Winkler from one of the nicest guys in Hollywood into a fiercely competitive rule-breaker. Fly-fishing. CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE FROM OUTKICK OUTDOORS According to Stacey, her husband might also be padding the stats a little bit. "You have alleged before that he pads his numbers," Bensinger said. Winkler immediately looked offended. "Wait a minute. Really?" he asked. Stacey didn't back down. "I write down in my book exactly," Winkler protested. "I don't round off. That I do only in charity." That set his wife up perfectly. "The biggest charity is your fish size," Stacey fired back. "You are about your fish size the way other people are about… other sizes." Ouch. After 48 years of marriage, Winkler seemed stunned to learn that his own wife apparently doesn't trust his measurements. "I have just learned something I've never known," he said. "I don't pad my numbers, but my wife believes I pad my numbers. Shocking. I'm shocked. I'm hurt." Who among us hasn't exaggerated a little after a fishing trip? But the (alleged) fish inflation isn't even their biggest problem on the water. The couple used to fish together, but that arrangement apparently became unsustainable because Henry — otherwise known for being an exceptionally pleasant human being — becomes an entirely different person once there's a trout involved. He explained that they once had clearly defined territory while sharing a boat. Stacey got the water from the front of the boat back to the oars. Henry got everything behind the oars. Simple enough. Except Henry didn't particularly care for that arrangement whenever Stacey's side looked more promising. "I'm here to catch a fish," he explained. "And sometimes her water on the other side of the oar looks really fishy." So his fly would occasionally "wind up" in Stacey's section. "Not wind up," she argued. "Slap into my water." TYLER HUBBARD STAYS CALM AS WIFE PULLS FISH HOOK FROM HIS SCALP ON FAMILY CAMPING VACATION Winkler insists he's simply following the fish. Stacey says her normally reasonable husband suddenly loses all regard for rules, boundaries and marital harmony the moment he picks up a fly rod. "There was just no way because he's too crazy," she said of fishing together. "He is this reasonable man who turns into a 7-year-old." In fact, the couple said their first fly-fishing experience together generated more arguments than all their previous years of marriage combined. "She just didn't understand," Henry explained. Stacey was unimpressed. "So then what I would do would be to not catch fish to make you feel better?" she asked. "That would have been so thoughtful," he deadpanned. Eventually, the Winklers found the secret to a happy fishing marriage: Don't fish together. Now they take separate boats, separate guides and even fish different parts of the river. Problem solved! Well, mostly. Because Stacey still has one surefire way to get under her husband's skin. When she catches a big fish, she sends him a photo. "He gets irritated," she said. "I do not get irritated," Winkler insisted. He just desperately wants to know how she keeps doing it. "I really think that there is something about female pheromones that attract the fish," he joked, marveling at how quickly his wife seems to hook monsters. He even floated another possibility: "Unless on the boat she can Photoshop." Stacey, meanwhile, says fly-fishing is one of the only areas of her husband's life where the famously nice, mild-mannered actor gets genuinely reckless. "If you are fishing somewhere in your area and Henry thinks he sees some bubbles or whatever, he's going there," she said. "So, there is nothing sacred." Maybe not. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER But after 48 years together, the Winklers have clearly figured out the important stuff. Separate boats. Separate fishing territory. And never, ever trust your husband's estimate of how many inches that fish actually was. Love all things fishing and outdoors? Follow OutKick OutDoors on Instagram and TikTok!

On April 11, 2025, Matthew Exton, a 43-year-old former attorney, was having a drink at Souk restaurant when he spotted his ex-wife, Kada Malone, dining with her parents at the nearby Italian restaurant Sabira, according to the Lucas County Prosecutor's Office. He entered Sabira, ordered a drink for Malone's table, spat in their direction and walked out. Security footage from the restaurant then shows Exton returning with a handgun before thrusting it to within point-blank range of Malone's head and pulling the trigger as she reacted, putting her hands up in front of her face. The gun failed to fire. LAS VEGAS MAN KILLS EX-WIFE AND HER HUSBAND IN GROCERY STORE AMID CHILD 'CUSTODY ISSUES': POLICE Prosecutors said the gun did fire because the safety was still on. A waiter tackled Exton from behind before he could try to shoot Malone again. Authorities noted that there was a round in the chamber and seven more bullets in the magazine. "The defendant did not come with the intention of having a meal. He came with anger in him and with the intention to commit a public execution of his ex-wife at the restaurant that day," Lucas County Prosecuting Attorney Julia R. Bates said in a statement. "The employees and patrons who stepped in to stop the defendant that day are heroes." Bates also thanked the jury, which found Exton guilty on Sept. 4 of attempted murder, two counts of felonious assault and two firearm specifications attached to all three counts. SPECIAL FORCES VET ACCUSED OF TRYING TO KILL WIFE FOUND DEAD, ENDING MASSIVE TENNESSEE MANHUNT The two counts of felonious assault applied to Malone's parents, Jeannie Malone and Charles Malone. The day the jury handed down their guilty verdict, Exton had an outburst in the courtroom and had to be removed. During the prosecutor's closing arguments, they pointed to a voicemail Exton left for Malone prior to the attempted shooting that referenced the Johnny Cash lyric "Sooner or later God will cut you down," WTOL 11 reported. Prosecutors said the message was an instance of threatening behavior that spoke to Exton's motive and state of mind ahead of the crime. Exton, who appeared to take issue with the prosecutor's framing of the voicemail, then began screaming the lyrics to "God's Gonna Cut You Down" as court officers removed him. At another point, he made a gun-like gesture with his fingers and pointed it at assistant Lucas County Prosecutor Rose Mock. The jury was instructed by the judge to disregard Exton's conduct and not let it impact their deliberations. Exton, a former lawyer and local prosecutor, is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 21, 2026.

In an interview with The Guardian, Garfunkel, 84, told the British publication he is concerned about the country’s stance on key issues and is considering moving elsewhere. "I don’t like America’s position at all," he told the outlet. "I’m not aboard, and I’m thinking of leaving the country, frankly." CHRIS ROBINSON, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FACE BACKLASH AS 'AMERICANS HAVE HAD ENOUGH' OF BEING LECTURED: EXPERT Garfunkel expressed concern about climate change, international affairs and other political issues. "It’s real that the planet is getting warmer, that the water’s rising, that so many people are starving," Garfunkel said in the piece that originally ran Sept. 4. FOX NEWS POLL: 'RESILIENT DISCONTENT' DEFINES THE US MOOD AT 250TH ANNIVERSARY He also criticized Trump’s decision to launch a military operation that resulted in the capture of then-Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who is facing a slew of federal charges while currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, New York. "When Donald Trump took over Venezuela, are those the new rules? Just take over a country and run it?" Garfunkel said. MADURO CLAIMS IMMUNITY, ASKS JUDGE TO DISMISS DRUG-TRAFFICKING CHARGES AGAINST HIM AND HIS WIFE "It’s shocking, and you think, ‘How on earth are we gonna change the presidency?’ But Trump won’t last forever, so we’ve got to hope," he added. The New York City-born musician is among the latest American celebrities to consider moving abroad or to have relocated while criticizing Trump’s presidency. ROSIE O'DONNELL PUSHES CONSPIRACY THEORY THAT TRUMP DIDN'T REALLY WIN 2024 ELECTION, SAYS ‘I THINK KAMALA WON’ Notably, comedian Rosie O’Donnell moved to Ireland after Trump’s 2024 election victory, while director James Cameron has long planned a permanent move to New Zealand and criticized Trump as his New Zealand citizenship approached. Former daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres has said Trump’s election prompted her and wife Portia de Rossi to make their stay in the United Kingdom permanent. "We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, 'He got in,'" DeGeneres told broadcaster Richard Bacon, according to the BBC in 2025. "And we're like, 'We're staying here.'" In August, O’Donnell returned to the United States for a weeklong guest-hosting stint on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" The 64-year-old comic then turned her attention to her new residency in Ireland. On the Aug. 17 show, she referred to Trump as "Mango Mussolini." "I read that Project 2025 and said, ‘Got to get myself out of here, you know,’ and I decided to go to Ireland, a place where people are driven to drink regardless of who's running their country," O’Donnell said. ROSIE O'DONNELL CLAIMS TRUMP HAS 'PTSD RESPONSE' TO HER AS BACKLASH ERUPTS The celebrity relocations and threats to leave the country have drawn the attention of Democratic strategist Kaivan Shroff. "Celebrity threats to leave the country are usually pretty easy to roll your eyes at," Shroff told Fox News Digital. "Most never actually do — Rosie O’Donnell aside. But Garfunkel is 84 years old and has spent more than six decades as one of the most recognizable figures in American music, so this doesn’t exactly read like somebody trying to launch a political brand." STUNNINGLY LOW PERCENTAGE OF ADULTS IN US THINK AMERICA STANDS ABOVE EVERY OTHER NATION: POLL "What’s interesting is the level of alienation he’s expressing," he continued. "He’s looking at the country he has lived in his entire life and saying, essentially, ‘I don’t recognize our role in the world anymore.’" Shroff told Fox News Digital that he believes Garfunkel's comments about moving abroad are more of a political statement than a commitment to leave the country. RICHARD GERE SAYS US IS IN 'DARKEST MOMENT' HE'S EXPERIENCED "The line about leaving America is obviously going to get the attention, but I don’t think that’s really what Garfunkel is saying here," Shroff said. "He sounds genuinely disturbed by where he thinks the country is headed, particularly by the idea that the United States can simply decide the old rules no longer apply. People can disagree with his politics, but that kind of unease is hardly unique to Art Garfunkel."

"What is the best sandwich?" late-night television host Stephen Colbert asked Starr during a 2021 appearance on "The Late Show." "I don’t have a lot of them anymore, but cheese," Starr answered, saying he loved cheese before clarifying, "But it has to be goat cheese now." TENNIS GREAT RAPHAEL NADAL SWEARS BY BREAKFAST WITH NUTRIENT-PACKED TINY FISH When Colbert questioned his preference for goat cheese, Starr said, "I don’t eat anything from the cow because the molecules are so big. Have you seen a cow? The molecules are so big. And that’s why if you drink a glass of milk, you’re full. With a goat, it’s a good size for our bodies." Starr’s explanation about the size of the animals and their "molecules" isn’t backed scientifically, but there are structural differences between goat and cow milk. Research has found that goat milk generally contains a higher proportion of smaller fat globules than cow milk and differs in its fat and protein composition. Those differences, along with the way the proteins form curds during digestion, may affect how the two types of milk are digested. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ Goat cheese also tends to have a distinctive tangy, earthy flavor and is often paired with sweet foods, such as fruit and honey, or savory ingredients like prosciutto. Content creator @domenicskitchen featured Starr’s preferred sandwich as part of an Instagram video series in which he recreates musicians’ favorite sandwiches. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE NEWS For his interpretation of Starr’s simple sandwich, he toasted two slices of bread in butter in a pan before spreading them with soft goat cheese and adding grated goat cheddar. "This sounds incredible," one Instagram user commented. "Imagine it with a salt and pepper, tomato and some thin slices shallot." "This looks awesome," wrote another.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aa5a84275342cf4db85990f Man films himself taking down Flock cameras, gets arrested te 2026-09-12T19:30:10.018Z Man films himself taking down Flock cameras, gets arrested You might expect someone taking down surveillance cameras to avoid being filmed. Jevon Martinez did the opposite. The 44-year-old Rio Rancho, New Mexico, man recorded himself removing Flock Safety camera equipment around Bernalillo County on September 2. He loaded the equipment into his pickup truck while explaining his reasoning to people watching online. The timing gave Martinez his opening. Days earlier, Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen had moved to end the department's three contracts with Flock Safety. Allen cited concerns about privacy, data sharing and his confidence in the company. However, he still supports automated license plate reader technology and plans to look at other vendors. Martinez apparently saw the remaining cameras as unfinished business. What happened next shows how quickly a fight over surveillance can turn into a criminal case once someone starts removing hardware they do not own. NEW!

In a Sept. 2 social media post, Martinez said BCSO no longer subscribed to Flock. He wrote that he was taking down the equipment so he could return it. He also insisted that he was neither destroying nor stealing the equipment. Martinez described it as property that had been left unattended. His videos carried the same message. "Since BCSO is busy, I know BCSO is busy, everyone who works for BCSO, I know you guys are busy, so I went ahead and helped you out," Martinez says while driving his pickup. The camera then shows what he means by "helped." His truck bed is filling up with Flock equipment. This also was not Martinez's first encounter with law enforcement over license plate readers. Rio Rancho police had arrested him months earlier in a separate Sandoval County case involving the alleged removal and damage of three license plate reader systems. He faced nine felony charges in that case. Martinez does not come across in the videos as someone trying to keep a low profile. Quite the opposite. "We got a bunch of these bad boys," he says while showing off the equipment in the back of the truck. Then comes the line that gives the videos an almost game-like quality. "Let's see how much I can get in one day. That's gonna be the challenge for everyone out there." At another point, Martinez tells viewers, "Not in my city, not in my state." He also repeatedly calls the Flock cameras "tyranny trees," a nickname that says plenty about how he views automated vehicle surveillance. Reports of his livestream show him dismantling one of the systems while continuing to explain his position. Martinez creates his own record as he goes, with his face, voice and actions captured on camera. This is where Martinez's social media explanation runs into an important problem. Bernalillo County authorities say he removed 10 Flock camera systems with an estimated combined value of $16,500. However, only two were associated with BCSO. Authorities say the other eight were managed by neighborhood associations. That changes the picture considerably. Martinez repeatedly described what he was doing as returning equipment to the sheriff after BCSO ended its relationship with Flock. Yet most of the systems authorities recovered were connected to other organizations. BCSO also says the equipment remained property that members of the public had no authorization to remove. So while Martinez's videos clearly explain what he believed he was doing, they do not settle the ownership question. EX-INDIANA DEPUTY CHARGED WITH FELONY FOR ALLEGEDLY USING FLOCK CAMERAS TO STALK GIRLFRIEND Martinez said throughout his videos that he planned to return the equipment to BCSO. However, investigators give a somewhat different account of how that ended. According to the criminal complaint, Martinez drove past BCSO headquarters three times while the equipment remained in his truck. Deputies eventually stopped him outside the sheriff's office. Video of the arrest shows deputies surrounding his pickup with guns drawn before placing him in handcuffs. Martinez was unarmed, and the charges against him stem from the alleged removal of the equipment rather than a violent offense. Court reporting differs slightly on the precise larceny charge. One account of the criminal complaint describes attempted larceny over $2,500, while BCSO reporting lists larceny over $2,500. He also faces an interference with communications charge. Martinez appeared virtually in Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court on September 4. Prosecutors did not file a pretrial detention motion, and Judge Claire McDaniel did not order him held in the Bernalillo County case. That did not mean Martinez walked free. He remained in custody because of the separate Sandoval County case tied to the earlier alleged license plate reader removals. Reports say that Sandoval County held him over a violation of his release conditions and that a grand jury has since indicted him in that case. The cases remain unresolved, and the charges are allegations unless and until proven in court. There is another wrinkle here that makes this story more interesting. Sheriff Allen had already reached his own breaking point with Flock Safety. BCSO had three contracts connected to the company. One covered five automatic license plate reader cameras. Another involved 16 speed cameras connected to the Flock network. A third covered gunshot detection technology. Allen said he had lost confidence in Flock over privacy safeguards and data sharing. He also raised concerns about other law enforcement agencies gaining access to New Mexico plate data. Still, Allen has defended the underlying technology as a useful law enforcement tool. His disagreement centers on the vendor and the safeguards surrounding the data. That puts BCSO and Martinez in an unusual position. Both expressed serious concerns about Flock. Their ideas about what should happen next could hardly be further apart. Automatic license plate readers can create a detailed record of where vehicles appear. Flock's LPR systems collect license plate text along with the date, time and camera location. They can also record basic vehicle characteristics such as make, model and color. Flock says the system does not collect the driver's identity through the LPR camera. Police can use that information to generate leads in investigations. The concern comes from what happens when millions of those observations become searchable. We saw the risks firsthand in Colorado, where a woman faced a porch theft accusation after Flock cameras linked her truck to the area. Other location data eventually helped her show where she actually was. Flock cameras have also moved into places you may visit every week. CyberGuy found license plate readers operating at some Home Depot and Lowe's parking lots in Connecticut. That means pulling into a store can create another record tied to your vehicle. Then there are systems that can combine different types of signals. We recently looked at SignalTrace, technology that can correlate wireless device signals with license plate reader information and travel patterns. All of this helps explain why a camera on a roadside can trigger such a strong reaction. It does not give someone permission to dismantle one. You can question automatic license plate readers without ever touching a camera. Start by finding out which company operates the readers in your community and how long your local agency keeps the data. Then ask who can search the system and how officials audit those searches. Private cameras deserve attention too. A homeowners association, shopping center or business may operate plate readers that connect with law enforcement. Public records can help you understand how local agencies use the technology. Public meetings also give residents a way to challenge contracts before officials renew them. If you want cameras removed, push the people who have the legal authority to make that decision. That keeps the debate focused on surveillance policy rather than turning it into a criminal case. TENNESSEE OFFICIAL SAYS FLOCK CEO SHOULD BE HANGED 'PUBLICLY FOR TREASON’ AS CONTROVERSIAL CAMERAS FACE REVOLT I understand why these cameras make people uncomfortable. A system that quietly logs where vehicles appear deserves close scrutiny, especially when information can move between agencies. Bernalillo County's own sheriff had enough concerns about Flock to walk away from the company. Martinez clearly shares the privacy concern, but his videos show what can happen when someone decides to take the next step on his own.  The biggest factual problem with his argument is hard to overlook. Authorities say only two of the 10 systems he removed were associated with BCSO. The other eight were managed by neighborhood associations. Then there are the videos themselves. Martinez wanted people to see what he was doing. He explained his reasoning and showed the equipment piling up in his truck. Those posts may help him make a political argument online. They also give investigators a remarkably detailed record of what happened. For me, the useful questions are who gets to collect our movement data and what limits control access to it. Those are fights worth having in public. If your local sheriff said it no longer trusted a surveillance company, would you want every camera removed immediately or would you accept a replacement system with stronger privacy safeguards?

The California Department of Transportation’s (Caltrans) approximately $9.5 million improvement project was undertaken to improve pedestrian safety and disability access along Highway 1 through Fort Bragg in Northern California’s Mendocino County. But as soon as residents saw a tall new fence start to go up, they took action. ONCE-HIDDEN COASTAL TOWN FACING DISRUPTION AS SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCERS TRANSFORM LOCAL LIFE "The entrance to our town now has a fence that is substantially higher than the original fence and blocks the view of the ocean — a view that has long been part of what makes Fort Bragg special," Mary Rose Kaczorowski, a candidate for Fort Bragg City Council, wrote in a letter to the editor of the Ukiah Daily Journal. "This is not simply a matter of replacing an existing fence; it changes the character and view of one of our town’s important gateways," she wrote. The new fence along Main Street replaced an older, shorter wooden fence that allowed passersby to see the Noyo Headlands and ocean beyond it, according to SFGATE. "We’re marketing towards being a sea town, but you can’t see the sea. It’s a bit of a buzzkill," Aiden McFadden, a front-desk associate at the Seabird Lodge, told SFGATE. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ "We understand why they’re putting in the fencing, but we didn’t expect there to be an actual wall, a barrier, between us and the ocean view," she said. "The original fence did its work." Kaczorowski wrote that residents and "everyone who comes to Fort Bragg" deserved "a clear explanation of why this substantially higher fence was installed and how the decision was made." "Did anyone stop to ask how this substantially higher fence would affect the people who live here — or how it would change the view at the entrance to our town?" she wrote. "That is precisely why coastal local residents are shocked and angry at the fence that blocks our coastal view." CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE NEWS Caltrans held an open house for public comment on the project in April. In August, Fort Bragg City Manager Isaac Whippy announced in a news release that the city had heard the community’s concerns regarding the new wooden fencing’s height, appearance and impact on views of the Noyo Headlands and the ocean. "The fencing is part of Caltrans’ Fort Bragg sidewalk and Americans with Disabilities Act improvement project," Whippy explained. "It replaced an existing fence that was removed to accommodate sidewalk widening and accessibility improvements. The fence and its associated construction costs are components of Caltrans’ broader project contract and are not a separate City construction project." After residents raised concerns, "City staff reviewed the permit and related project documents, which indicate that the replacement fencing was intended to match the previous conditions," the release further stated. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER Whippy said he spoke directly with the project manager, who was "receptive to the concerns raised by the community and has expressed a strong commitment to working with the City and Caltrans’ contractor to identify and implement appropriate modifications." "We have a timeline for the construction crew to come back to town in the next couple of weeks for fence modifications," Whippy told SFGATE.

"Judge Judy is passing the gavel to her son, Adam Levy, in ‘Adam’s Law,'the courtroom program she created and is an executive producer," a rep for Sheindlin told Fox News Digital. "It premieres in national syndication this Monday, Sept. 14." "She is not retiring, just rewiring." During a recent interview with People, the 83-year-old judge and television personality shared that she plans on retiring from TV after her Prime Video series, "Judy Justice," comes to an end in October. "I have a lot of other things of interest," she said. "I don’t want to do hair and makeup anymore, but I still want my message to get out there." ROSIE O'DONNELL WALKED AWAY AT THE HEIGHT OF HER SUCCESS AFTER REACHING ONE JAW-DROPPING FINANCIAL MILESTONE Her son, Levy, graduated from New York’s Hofstra Law School, and after taking a detour working as a ski instructor, he worked in private practice and as the Putnam County, N.Y., district attorney, before starting his own journey in television in 2023 on the Prime Video show "Tribunal Justice." "There aren’t a lot of people who can carry a half hour on their own unscripted," Sheindlin said. "He has what it takes." PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE Scheindlin graduated from New York Law School in 1965 and worked as a prosecutor, handling juvenile crime, domestic violence and child-abuse cases, starting in 1972. After retiring from family court, she launched the popular syndicated show "Judge Judy," which aired for 25 seasons, from 1996 to 2021. At its peak, the show reached an estimated 10 million viewers, and Scheindlin became known for her no-nonsense attitude and classic one-liners.

During an interview with Fox News Digital in November 2022, Scheindlin's granddaughter, Sarah Rose, shared what her grandmother taught her, noting she does in fact have a soft side despite her TV persona. She shared that the best piece of advice Scheindlin has given her is that "you have to define yourself, and you tell other people who you are. Not the other way around." LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

"You have to have a good feeling about yourself and be confident in yourself. And, really, if you have that as a foundation, the opportunities are endless for where your journey might lead. I’ve always taken that to heart. No matter what anyone else’s opinions, feelings or thoughts are, I just know that I’m secure in myself. And she’s playing a big role in that." While Sara Rose admits Scheindlin could be a "no-nonsense grandmother," she also has "a much softer, supportive side," noting she is often "the first person I call if I have a problem or a question or something that needs to get solved." "She’s a fantastic problem solver, especially for the ones that she loves," she added.

Speaking on "Special Report," Clayton pointed to an attempted bombing in New York City as an example of how modern extremists no longer need distant foreign training camps to launch attacks and instead can be recruited online. Clayton responded after host Bret Baier cited United Nations figures showing that al Qaeda's global network has grown to an estimated 25,000 potential fighters — roughly 50 times its estimated size at the time of the Sept. 11 terror attacks in 2001. TOP HOUSE CHAIRMAN WARNS CONGRESS AGAINST 'COMPLACENCY' 25 YEARS AFTER 9/11 "Those numbers may be surprising. I think it's important for America to hear those numbers, but they reflect the evolving threat environment, the threat environment from terrorists," Clayton told Baier. "Terrorists recruit today much differently than they did 25 years ago," he said. AMERICAN 'JIHAD' FUELED BY 'RISKY SOURCE' INSIDE US BORDERS, WARNS NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERT Clayton said terrorists were previously often recruited and trained in camps overseas, but that process has changed in the 25 years since 9/11. "Today, they recruit their agents online. They attempt to radicalize them online," Clayton said. KASH PATEL REVEALS THE CHILLING HOLIDAY TERROR PLOTS FBI FEDERAL AGENTS QUIETLY STOPPED "Just this year, we had two radicalized men from Pennsylvania travel to New York to try and detonate a bomb outside Gracie Mansion. Thanks to the NYPD, who just like in 9/11 ran to the fire, no one was killed," he added. Federal prosecutors described both men as supporters of ISIS who consumed radical content online. Prosecutors allege the men traveled from Pennsylvania to Manhattan on March 7 with two explosive devices and attempted to detonate them near protesters and police officers outside Gracie Mansion, the official residence of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. EXCLUSIVE: 25 YEARS AFTER 9/11, ICE SAYS MORE THAN 2K KNOWN OR SUSPECTED TERRORISTS HAVE BEEN DEPORTED When asked about remaining security gaps identified in a recent House Intelligence Committee report, Clayton said communication among intelligence and law enforcement agencies has improved significantly since 9/11. "What I can tell you is that the women and men of the intelligence community, working domestically with law enforcement, working overseas with our partners, are committed every day to closing those gaps and identifying evolving threats," Clayton said. "There have been, and again, the American people should know this, there have been many threats on our soil that have been thwarted," he added.

When the cameraman approached Acton, asking her why she continued to decline invitations to debate her Republican challenger, Vivek Ramaswamy, her staff quickly rushed in to block him off from Acton. The video, which shows Acton walking away from the interviewer, adds to criticisms from Ramaswamy’s camp that she hasn’t given a good answer for why she isn’t willing to do a debate as both candidates enter the homestretch of their campaigns. RAMASWAMY PUMPS $25M OF OWN CASH INTO OHIO GOVERNOR BID, SMASHES FUNDRAISING RECORDS WITH $50 MILLION HAUL "Dr. Amy Acton, why do you refuse to debate your opponent, Vivek Ramaswamy?" the interviewer asked. "No photos, no videos," the staff repeated. "I said — no pictures, no interviews." At one point in the confrontation, Acton’s staff seemed to have bumped into the cameraman, jolting his camera out of frame and prompting him to ask them to be "careful." Acton did not respond to the questions. Earlier this month, after Ramaswamy accepted a debate invitation from CNN, Acton’s campaign told local media she would not accept. "Dr. Acton’s focus is on talking with Ohioans, not platforming a scam artist who spreads baseless lies about her and her family, uses AI to falsely paint her as someone with a substance abuse problem, and shames Dr. Acton for being sexually abused as a child while Vivek stands with predators and abusers," a campaign spokesperson said in a Sept. 2 statement. ARMED MAN ACCUSED OF LUNGING AT OHIO DEM CANDIDATE AVOIDS FELONIES AS PROSECUTOR REVEALS KEY EVIDENCE TOP ELECTION SCHEMES ROILING KEY MIDTERM RACES AS BOTH PARTIES ACCUSE RIVALS OF TRICKERY The response refers to a series of Republican attacks: her role in Ohio’s COVID response, a verbal domestic dispute in 2019 that she had while intoxicated, and AI-generated campaign ads that replaced her car’s license plate with a "drunk mom" tag. It also nods to Ramaswamy’s quiet posture toward releasing the Epstein files at the outset of his gubernatorial campaign. In his response, Ramaswamy ignored Acton’s needling. He seized on her decision, calling into question her qualifications to lead the state as its top executive while, at the same time, refusing to press her case on a debate stage. "It’s too bad for Ohio voters that Acton won’t take voter questions, won’t debate, quit after failing as Ohio’s health director, and has some serious issues now surfaced in multiple police reports," Ramaswamy said in a post to social media. FOX NEWS POLL: ECONOMIC ANXIETY AND CANDIDATE CONCERNS DEFINE OHIO SENATE RACE Acton’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital about her interaction with the interviewer last Saturday. Having cleared the Ohio Democratic primary, Acton will face off against Ramaswamy in the state’s general election on Nov. 3.

Dominic Foppoli, who led the town of Windsor from late 2018 to 2021, was ordered to pay a combined $13 million in compensatory damages. The payouts to the women, whose allegations span from 2001 to 2020, will range from $6,000 to $4,650,938 each. He could also have to pay punitive damages to the women. That phase of the civil trial will begin on Tuesday, KTVU FOX 2 reported. Foppoli has consistently denied all wrongdoing and has never been criminally charged in connection to the allegations. He stepped down as mayor in May 2021 after four women came forward to the San Francisco Chronicle to accuse him of sexual assault. FORMER NJ DEM MAYOR ALLEGEDLY DRUGGED, SEXUALLY ASSAULTED CHILD HE MET ONLINE The lawsuit, filed in April 2022, detailed allegations from seven Jane Does. Several women alleged Foppoli drugged their drinks before assaulting them, while Jane Doe 1 claimed he raped her dozens of times, including one alleged incident in which she said he handcuffed her to a bed. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, a total of 13 women have accused Foppoli of sexual assault or misconduct. In 2024, the state attorney general’s office suspended its criminal investigation into Foppoli, saying prosecutors did not have enough evidence to warrant filing charges on the cases not barred by the statute of limitations at that time. Foppoli testified during the civil trial, which began in July, again denying the allegations against him. "I've been a terrible boyfriend and partner, cheating, selfish and egotistical, but I've never done any of those things I'm being sued for," Foppoli said on the stand, according to KGO Eyewitness News. The jury also found the Santa Rosa chapter of Active 20-30, an all-male charitable social club where Foppoli was a member, liable for Jane Doe 4's alleged assault and awarded her an additional $2 million, the Chronicle reported. FBI AGENTS CONFRONT SWALWELL AT AIRPORT IN NEW FOOTAGE AS VIEWERS ZERO IN AND PILE ON According to the lawsuit, the woman alleged Foppoli sexually assaulted her during the national Active 20-30 convention in Reno, Nevada, in June 2012. She also accused the organization of failing to investigate complaints she made to its leaders. Traci Carrillo, an attorney for the plaintiffs, hailed the verdict as the "ultimate validation" for the women, saying they had to overcome "their trauma, their shame, their own guilt" to obtain justice. Foppoli's attorney, Andrew Watters, said in a statement to Fox News Digital that he would seek a mistrial over claims that the court improperly excluded key witnesses for the defense. If that fails, Watters said he would pursue an appeal. "What happened with the verdict was that the jury sent a message based on questionable self-reported evidence and junk science, and that’s not appropriate.  It appears the passions of the jury were inflamed by the evidence, and they hated my client, so they made a very large award to punish and make an example of him," Watters said in a statement. Foppoli, speaking at a press conference outside the courthouse Friday, said his accusers "are trying to crucify me for a cause I'm not responsible for," adding that they were motivated by the $13 million payout. Foppoli still faces a separate lawsuit from Farrah Abraham, a social media influencer and former reality television personality who claims the ex-politician raped her in March 2021 at a house party in Florida. That civil case is expected to go to trial next year, according to court records. The Chronicle reported that Christopher Creek Winery, which Foppoli owns, settled a separate lawsuit filed by a Montana woman who alleged Foppoli raped her multiple times in 2020 when she was 18.

Kathy Hochul pardoned a lawfully present Dominican citizen, who pleaded guilty to second-degree assault. Hochul pardoned Keisy Guerrero Mariano, who is identified in court documents as "Keisy GM," in late August, effectively killing the Trump administration's appeal to the Supreme Court arguing that noncitizens, including those with green card status, do not have a legal right to a bond hearing for a prolonged detention if they have committed crimes that are grounds for mandatory deportation. Hochul, who is staunchly opposed to President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement crackdown, issued the pardon for Mariano just as the brief was due. FEDERAL APPEALS COURT COMPARES TRUMP MIGRANT DETENTION POLICY TO JAPANESE AMERICAN INTERNMENT Solicitor General John Sauer agreed Friday that Genalo v. Black is now moot, but said the Trump administration will seek an "alternative vehicle" to challenge the Second Circuit’s 2024 ruling that prolonged immigration detention can trigger a constitutional right to a bond hearing. Sauer said the administration intends to find another case through which the Supreme Court can resolve the issue during its 2026-27 term. The lawsuit centered on the challenges of plaintiffs Carol Williams Black, a Jamaican national with lawful standing, and Mariano — both convicted criminals detained by ICE. APPEALS COURT BLOCKS TRUMP ADMIN FROM HOLDING MIGRANTS WITHOUT BOND FOR OVER 90 DAYS Mariano was first arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in 2020 over a 2015 second-degree assault conviction for which he served time, making him eligible for deportation. He spent nearly two years in ICE detention, but was released in 2022 due to a nationwide injunction that required the release of detainees because of COVID-19 health risks. Prior to his release, Judge John P. Cronan of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York denied Mariano's habeas corpus request in November 2021. But in May 2024, the Second Circuit overruled Cronan's decision, ruling that the government must grant noncitizens a bond hearing once detention becomes "unreasonably long." Failure to do so, the court ruled, would violate the Fifth Amendment's due process clause. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court, which agreed to hear the case June 15; however, the high court ruled Black's case moot because he had left the United States and filed a court declaration that he would not be returning to the country. Black was convicted in New York in 2000 of sexually abusing a minor under the age of 11. DHS BLASTS MINNESOTA BOARD FOR UNANIMOUSLY PARDONING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CONVICTED OF 3 ASSAULTS Hochul's decision to issue a pardon to Mariano has garnered fierce criticism from legal experts. "Pretty wild to fully pardon an aggravated felon to (1) stop the felon from getting deported and (2) stop the Supreme Court from ruling on an issue. (Especially as this litigation has been going on for years)," Eric Wessan, Iowa’s solicitor general, posted on X. He praised Sauer's decision to fight back on the Second Circuit's ruling.

Dominic Foppoli, who led the town of Windsor from late 2018 to 2021, was ordered to pay a combined $13 million in compensatory damages. The payouts to the women, whose allegations span from 2001 to 2020, will range from $6,000 to $4,650,938 each. He could also have to pay punitive damages to the women. That phase of the civil trial will begin on Tuesday, KTVU FOX 2 reported. Foppoli has consistently denied all wrongdoing and has never been criminally charged in connection to the allegations. He stepped down as mayor in May 2021 after four women came forward to the San Francisco Chronicle to accuse him of sexual assault. FORMER NJ DEM MAYOR ALLEGEDLY DRUGGED, SEXUALLY ASSAULTED CHILD HE MET ONLINE The lawsuit, filed in April 2022, detailed allegations from seven Jane Does. Several women alleged Foppoli drugged their drinks before assaulting them, while Jane Doe 1 claimed he raped her dozens of times, including one alleged incident in which she said he handcuffed her to a bed. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, a total of 13 women have accused Foppoli of sexual assault or misconduct. In 2024, the state attorney general’s office suspended its criminal investigation into Foppoli, saying prosecutors did not have enough evidence to warrant filing charges on the cases not barred by the statute of limitations at that time. Foppoli testified during the civil trial, which began in July, again denying the allegations against him. "I've been a terrible boyfriend and partner, cheating, selfish and egotistical, but I've never done any of those things I'm being sued for," Foppoli said on the stand, according to KGO Eyewitness News. The jury also found the Santa Rosa chapter of Active 20-30, an all-male charitable social club where Foppoli was a member, liable for Jane Doe 4's alleged assault and awarded her an additional $2 million, the Chronicle reported. FBI AGENTS CONFRONT SWALWELL AT AIRPORT IN NEW FOOTAGE AS VIEWERS ZERO IN AND PILE ON According to the lawsuit, the woman alleged Foppoli sexually assaulted her during the national Active 20-30 convention in Reno, Nevada, in June 2012. She also accused the organization of failing to investigate complaints she made to its leaders. Traci Carrillo, an attorney for the plaintiffs, hailed the verdict as the "ultimate validation" for the women, saying they had to overcome "their trauma, their shame, their own guilt" to obtain justice. Foppoli's attorney, Andrew Watters, said in a statement to Fox News Digital that he would seek a mistrial over claims that the court improperly excluded key witnesses for the defense. If that fails, Watters said he would pursue an appeal. "What happened with the verdict was that the jury sent a message based on questionable self-reported evidence and junk science, and that’s not appropriate.  It appears the passions of the jury were inflamed by the evidence and they hated my client, so they made a very large award to punish and make an example of him," Watters said in a statement. Foppoli, speaking at a press conference outside the courthouse Friday, said his accusers "are trying to crucify me for a cause I'm not responsible for," adding that they were motivated by the $13 million payout. Foppoli still faces a separate lawsuit from Farrah Abraham, a social media influencer and former reality television personality who claims the ex-politician raped her in March 2021 at a house party in Florida. That civil case is expected to go to trial next year, according to court records. The Chronicle reported that Christopher Creek Winery, which Foppoli owns, settled a separate lawsuit filed by a Montana woman who alleged Foppoli raped her multiple times in 2020 when she was 18.

Things got hot and heavy before the game even started, with Kansas dropping a hype video in the lead-up to the game that framed the Tigers as "evil," alluding to Missouri's involvement as a slave state in the mid 1800s. Mizzou got the last laugh, though, as the Tigers blasted the Jayhawks 38-21, adding a late score that head coach Eli Drinkwitz said was meant to "embarrass" their rivals for their social media stunt.

Waking up more than once a night to urinate can meet the clinical definition of nocturia, which affects about half of adults over 50 and becomes more common with age, according to a recent StudyFinds report. The International Continence Society’s formal definition of nocturia includes even one nighttime trip, but frequency, disruption and a change from a person’s usual pattern all matter. "Everyone has a baseline of what’s normal urinary frequency for them," Dr. Ali Dabaja, a urologist at Henry Ford Health in Michigan, told the outlet. "But if you wake at least twice to go to the bathroom during eight hours of sleep, that’s considered nocturia." DIETITIAN REVEALS SIMPLE EATING STRATEGY FOR BETTER SLEEP — AND ONE HABIT TO AVOID Nocturia isn't simply a bladder issue, according to Dr. Jeffrey Chester, a licensed physician and medical director of The Ohana Luxury Addiction Treatment Center in Hawaii. "A change in nighttime urinary patterns is definitely worth mentioning to a physician or healthcare provider, especially when it begins suddenly, becomes more frequent, or disrupts a person's sleep," Chester told Fox News Digital. Alcohol and caffeine intake, the amount and timing of fluid consumption, and certain medications can all contribute, he added. JUST 10 MINUTES OF DAILY FLOOR EXERCISES MAY IMPROVE BALANCE AND AGILITY, STUDY FINDS Waking up once isn't a cause for concern, agreed Catherine Darley, a naturopathic doctor and founder of Skilled Sleeper in Seattle, but more than once can be "concerning," she told Fox News Digital. Experts note that it can raise the risk of falls, especially for those with mobility or balance challenges. Research shows two or more nightly trips to the bathroom are linked to a higher risk of fall-related injuries, StudyFinds reported. Sleep disorders can also be a factor, Darley said, including obstructive sleep apnea, which can affect hormones involved in suppressing urine production overnight. Restless legs syndrome could also contribute to nighttime urination and is more common with age, Darley added. OLDER ADULTS TAKING 5 OR MORE PRESCRIPTION DRUGS FACE HIGHER RISK OF DEATH, STUDY FINDS She advised starting with your primary care provider to look for an underlying cause, and checking in with doctors and pharmacists to see if medications could be involved in frequent bathroom trips. In some cases, they could adjust the timing to prevent late-night wake-ups. Other issues could be the cause, too, according to StudyFinds, including diabetes, and overactive bladder, an enlarged prostate and fluid buildup. For some people, simple habits can help, including not drinking for roughly two hours before bedtime and stopping alcohol about three hours before bed, Darley said. She also suggested keeping floors clear of rugs and clutter, using gentle amber lighting, sitting on the edge of the bed before standing to avoid getting dizzy and installing grab bars for extra support.

CM Punk put the title on the line against Zayn, weeks after beating him for the title on "Monday Night Raw." Zayn’s first reign only lasted a few days when he initially pinned Cody Rhodes at Night of Champions. But Zayn has been hungry to get another shot at the title. COMPLETE PRO WRESTLING COVERAGE ON OUTKICK He delivered but needed a mess at ringside to do it. Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae appeared to be in Zayn’s corner for the match. LeRae distracted the referee, at one point, which allowed Gargano to try to hit Punk with the belt. He missed completely and Punk nailed him with a Go to Sleep. As the referee tried to roll Gargano out of the ring, Kevin Owens appeared and tried to hit Zayn with the belt. Owens nailed Punk instead, which he didn’t seem to be too concerned about.

DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Zayn was dead on and pinned Punk for the win. It’s the second time in his career – and second time this year – that Zayn has held the Undisputed WWE Championship. The first reign only lasted nine days. Here’s to hoping that the reign lasts a bit longer than that. It’s the fifth time this year the title has changed hands. Drew McIntyre won it back in January with Rhodes winning it back in March. Zayn beat Rhodes in June before losing to Punk in July. Now, in September, with several premium live events around the corner that have major implications for the title, Zayn is the champion. But the title picture is as murky as it gets. Punk, Owens, Rhodes, Gargano and Randy Orton could all become challengers for Zayn immediately. McIntyre, who has been out of the ring for months, could also pose a threat whenever he comes back. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aa5796075342cf4db858abf Iowa supervisor slams ban on guaranteed income programs as state ‘waging ideological wars’ te 2026-09-12T16:10:08.419Z Iowa supervisor slams ban on guaranteed income programs as state ‘waging ideological wars’ A local elected official in Iowa is criticizing state lawmakers after they blocked cities and counties from testing direct cash payments to residents, claiming local governments are being handcuffed by state-level "ideological wars." Mandi Remington, a Democratic county supervisor in Johnson County, Iowa, told Fox News Digital that she wanted to test whether giving cash to low-income residents could serve as a feasible poverty-alleviation policy. However, the effort was shut down before it could launch. "We are supposedly a home rule state, but that's not what it seems like in practice," Remington said in an interview with Fox News Digital. "I live in a blue dot in a red state and, essentially, anything that we try to do in these pockets that is not being done in other parts of the state automatically gets pushed back against." Remington’s comments follow an op-ed she wrote arguing that guaranteed income programs "help everyday Iowans." She noted that the Johnson County Board of Supervisors attempted to bring a guaranteed income initiative to their community, championed by Supervisor V Fixmer-Oraiz. ALBUQUERQUE USES WEED TAX TO FUND 'NO-STRINGS-ATTACHED' GUARANTEED INCOME, SPARKING POLICY DEBATE The local push was inspired by similar pilots across the country, including the UpLift trial in central Iowa, which provided 110 families with $500 per month for two years. Remington argued the policy would build on successes seen in other jurisdictions. Those plans were derailed when Iowa Republicans passed legislation prohibiting local governments from creating or maintaining guaranteed income programs. Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds signed House File 2319 into law on May 1, 2024. Proponents of the ban, including GOP lawmakers, argued that government cash handouts undermine the American work ethic, subsidize low wages, and foster government dependency. "There's no room for doing research. There's no room for evaluating evidence. There's no interest in even hearing about evidence that has been found in other places," Remington told Fox News Digital. "I have not been present on the universal income matter specifically at the Capitol, but I have testified in legislative hearings here and watched as legislators didn't even pretend to listen to the people speaking to them. Because in their minds, whether they want to call it socialist or leftist or whatever term they throw at it, they have just lumped it into a certain ideological category because of where it's coming from." GUARANTEED INCOME PROGRAM TARGETS LOW-INCOME HOMES LED BY BLACK MOMS AS CASH HANDOUTS SURGE NATIONWIDE In her published letter, Remington argued that restricting local control hurts working families. "Unfortunately, some of our state leaders are more interested in controlling local government and waging ideological wars than they are in passing policies that help everyday Iowans," Remington wrote. "The state’s ban on guaranteed income isn’t good policy, and it doesn’t help hard-working Iowans get by. It’s simply obstructionism without evidence. Seven Republican legislators understood this and joined Democrats in voting against the ban." Gov. Reynolds' office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.  Iowa is far from the only state where Republicans have pushed back against cash-handout initiatives. GOP lawmakers across the country have raised legal, budgetary, and philosophical concerns regarding guaranteed basic income. In Michigan, House Republicans demanded a rigorous inspection of a taxpayer-funded cash assistance program for new mothers, questioning its benefits and scrutinizing how millions in public funds were spent. In Texas, Attorney General Ken Paxton sued Harris County — home to Houston — over its guaranteed income program, leading the Texas Supreme Court to freeze the trial. Meanwhile, in Arizona, Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs vetoed a Republican-led bill that would have prohibited local governments from enacting guaranteed income programs. MICHIGAN LAWMAKER MOVES TO SHUT DOWN 'GUARDRAIL-FREE' CASH HANDOUT PROGRAM FOR NEW MOTHERS Progressive groups have pushed back against state-level restrictions. Adriane Brown, Senior Communications Director for the Economic Security Project (ESP) — an advocacy organization founded in 2016 to promote direct cash transfer policies — defended the trials. "It doesn’t serve anyone to ban guaranteed income. Mandi Remington’s letter speaks to the precarity — emotional, financial and otherwise — of leaving an abusive relationship," Brown told Fox News Digital. "Thankfully, there are several guaranteed income pilots across the country building on what we know about cash’s ability to offer survivors stability during these difficult transitions." The ESP helped create over 100 guaranteed income pilots across the U.S. "In the case of Iowa specifically, thankfully, not all lawmakers fell along partisan lines," Brown added. "If elected officials’ end goal is truly to make sure families are safe and secure, then guaranteed income pilots should be allowed to exist. Lawmakers who voted to ban guaranteed income amid a cost-of-living crisis are out of touch and do not care about families." Beyond political opposition, many guaranteed income programs face an impending funding cliff. Dozens of cities launched cash-transfer pilots using federal pandemic relief funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Under federal rules, ARPA allocations had to be legally obligated by the end of 2024 and fully spent by December 31, 2026. As federal relief funds dry up, local leaders are scrambling to find alternative funding streams. While Cook County, Illinois — the second-largest county in the nation — moved to set up ongoing municipal funding for guaranteed income following its initial 2022 pilot, most local jurisdictions lack the budget to sustain direct cash transfers without private philanthropy or federal aid. "The UpLift program was able to find a way to sustain itself through non-government money," Remington told Fox News Digital. "Unfortunately, we are also now in a position where all of our nonprofit agencies and mutual aid organizations are in their own financial crises as well. So funding in general has become a problem across the board for government, private citizens, and community agencies."

Phillips, 66, admitted in an upcoming episode of Valerie Bertinelli's "Getting Naked" podcast that her social battery quickly becomes depleted after a busy day. "I would get home, and I would have no words left, you know, and so in order to get up and do it again the next day, I had to be alone to recharge," she said, per People. "Which is, by the way, why — am I going to say this out loud? I have been celibate for 15 years." 'AMERICAN PIE' STAR SHANNON ELIZABETH SWEARS OFF DATING, SAYS ONLYFANS IS 'THE ONLY RELATIONSHIP I NEED' Bertinelli confided that "there was nothing wrong with being celibate," before Phillips explained that she's "had enough sex to last for several lifetimes for several people." "And the parts of me that were injured or wounded, I can care for them myself," she said before noting that she doesn't date. "I have my little friend in the bedside drawer." Bertinelli admitted that she also experienced "periods of celibacy" and hasn't been physically intimate in "almost two years now." Phillips first married music manager Jeff Sessler for two years before their divorce in 1981. She then married guitarist Shane Fontayne for 14 years before their split in 2000. SHARON STONE ADMITS THE BRUTAL MOMENT SHE KNEW HER MARRIAGE WAS OVER In 2005, the "American Graffiti" actress married her third husband, Keith Levenson, which ended in divorce two years later. Celibacy appeared to be trending in Hollywood this summer as Sharon Stone recently admitted that she, too, chose a path of celibacy. "I'm a really good girlfriend, but I haven't been a girlfriend in a long time," Stone said during an appearance on the "Mayim Bialik's Breakdown" podcast. "And I've been a girlfriend to bad boyfriends, and I've been a girlfriend to good boyfriends." CHRISTIE BRINKLEY SAYS SHE'S RETHINKING SOULMATES AFTER FOUR MARRIAGES "I've had good luck and bad luck and no luck at all," she said. "For quite a long time I’ve had no luck at all. I've been celibate for quite a while now because I'm just at the point where I really only want to be with someone that I care for." While the "Basic Instinct" star revealed her dating patterns, she also noted that she's now looking for "someone that's my companion, not just someone to have sex with." "I'm kind of bored with that," Stone said of casual flings. "I'm in the no luck at all phase right now," before adding that it's "the phase you need to be willing to be in to have the thing that I really want." Bialik asked if Stone had "a great love" of her life. The "Total Recall" star was first married to producer Michael Greenburg for six years before their divorce in 1990. She was then married to journalist Phil Bronstein from 1998 to 2004. "I have had loves in my life, but I don't think I've had the great love of my life," she said.

While she did briefly date a British man, Hatcher admitted that there "really isn't a new source of people." "Sometimes if I go to a charity event, I'll think, 'Oh, maybe I'll meet a like-minded person that cares about curing cancer,' but I don't," she said.

"Now I look across the table and I just think, 'When am I going to have to change this guy's diapers?' It's just not that fun anymore." Earlier that year, the "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman" actress admitted she was kicked off a dating app after her profile was flagged for appearing to be fake. "You know, I thought, I'm going to say to the universe that I am open and vulnerable, and I'm putting myself out there," Hatcher explained on "Getting Grilled with Curtis Stone." "That's what I thought my gesture of joining that Hinge app would be. And then they kicked me off." She added, "Well, they thought I was pretending to be Teri Hatcher." "They apologized, and then I was like, 'I'm sort of over it.' So now I'm over it," she continued. "I'm definitely done with the dating apps, and I feel like if there's any way I'll go somewhere and meet someone, that's what it's going to have to be, but honestly, I'm happy." In 1989, Hatcher married personal trainer Marcus Liethold before divorcing one year later. She then married Jon Tenney in 1994, and the former couple welcomed a daughter in 1997. By 2003, though, the pair called it quits.

The rescue, which unfolded Monday, was announced Wednesday. A 15-year-old Alaska boy was found atop an overturned fishing boat — after nearly three days in the frigid waters of the Bering Sea.  CLIMBER STRANDED ON 6-INCH LEDGE AT 11,000 FEET AS 46 MPH WINDS GROUND RESCUE HELICOPTER The teen was found alive — with his teeth chattering — about 4 miles east of St. Lawrence Island, a remote island in the Bering Sea roughly 100 miles west of mainland Alaska and about 40 miles from Russia's Chukchi Peninsula, according to multiple reports, including from The Associated Press.  His fishing vessel, last seen Friday departing Savoonga for St. Lawrence Island, had missed its scheduled return early Sunday morning. The boy was the lone survivor after the other two people aboard the vessel — his 16-year-old brother and their 39-year-old cousin — perished. The teen was experiencing symptoms of hypothermia when he was found, according to reports. The fishing vessel Northwest Explorer rescued the boy after Coast Guard aircrews dropped a life raft and coordinated the recovery. NURSE IMPALED BY POLE DURING HIKE FORCED TO TREK 10 MILES FOR HELP: 'A FREAK THING' Lt. Cmdr. Jonathon Resch, the Coast Guard pilot who located the teen, told ABC News that he and his team were "elated" to find him. "People don't survive those scenarios," Resch said.  "People don't flip boats and survive nights." Resch also said he "just happen[ed] to be looking out the window at the right angle of sun" when he spotted the teen's raft, he told the same outlet.  CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER The search involved the Coast Guard, the Alaska Rescue Coordination Center, the Alaska Air National Guard, Alaska State Troopers and local authorities — with multiple planes and helicopters deployed.

During Friday night’s episode of HBO’s "Real Time," Maher first criticized members of the Democratic Party who have spoken out against Israel during the Israel-Hamas war. "Because nowhere has this moral confusion become more obvious than in a place called Gaza," Maher said. "A little strip of land that was not part of the original Israel, but they won in a war launched against them, but then gave back, gave back as a peace gesture — did they tell you that part on TikTok, kids?" BILL MAHER BLASTS DEMOCRATIC PARTY, SAYS IT IS FINE WITH RELIGION 'AS LONG AS THAT FAITH ISN’T JEWISH' Maher then turned his attention to Macklemore — whose real name is Benjamin Hammond Haggerty — after the musician repeatedly made calls to "Free Palestine" while performing his anti-Israel song "Hind's Hall" as an opening act for Ed Sheeran at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, earlier this month. "I think Macklemore spoke for all clueless celebrities when he said, ‘I know enough to know this is a genocide,’" Maher continued. "Actually, you don't know s---. It's not. It's not a genocide. It's a counterattack in a war." MS RACHEL CONFRONTED ON ACCUSING ISRAEL OF 'GENOCIDE' IN PARK INTERACTION WITH PODCASTER The "Thrift Shop" rapper made headlines in early September for his comments about the Israel-Hamas war while on stage at the concert, where he wore a keffiyeh as he delivered his message to the crowd. "A big part of the reason why I wanted to do this tour in the first place is so I could stand up in stadiums like this and say two words that are very near and dear to my heart: Free Palestine," Macklemore said. JERRY SEINFELD GIVES BLUNT THREE-WORD RESPONSE TO INFLUENCER ASKING FOR A 'FREE PALESTINE' "I said, ‘Free Palestine!’ I want those words to be loud and clear, so that people all the way in Gaza to the occupied West Bank know that we have not forgotten about them," he continued. Fox News Digital reached out to Macklemore's representatives for comment. Maher continued criticizing Macklemore and other liberal figures, disputing their assertion that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza in response to Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack. "Gaza equals genocide is a lie, an easily provable lie," Maher said. "And the fact that so many prominent Democrats go along with it is, to me, the party's worst moment since they undid Reconstruction after the Civil War. Democrats are policing their candidates really hard on this issue. Say it — say it's a genocide. Say it." PROMINENT HOLOCAUST MUSEUM CHALLENGES MAMDANI WITH OFFER IN RESPONSE TO CLAIMS ABOUT 'GENOCIDE' IN GAZA Maher concluded his "New Rule" segment by arguing that what he described as false claims about the war have contributed to the rise of antisemitism. "If you're one of the many people these days asking, ‘This explosion of antisemitism around the world that we see, where is it coming from?’" Maher said. "This. This is where it's coming from. Because if you really think someone is committing genocide, of course you have full permission to hate them. And history shows, for whatever reason, when it comes to hating the Jews, people don't need a lot of permission." GERMAN OFFICIALS WARN ISLAMIST, FAR-LEFT RHETORIC DRIVING SPIKE IN ANTISEMITIC ATTACKS Macklemore’s comments also drew criticism from Jason Mudd, CEO of Axia Public Relations, who told Fox News Digital that the rapper's public stance on Israel represents a "calculated risk." "Take a political stance and most celebrities can count on alienating half their audience," Mudd said. "That's the easy math. The harder split is what's left: about a third thinks you should stay in your lane and entertain, and only a third is glad you used your platform to say it." "It's fine, if you're making a calculated risk," he continued. "Using your platform to influence politics is a decision that can affect your fans' support, your reputation, your career, and your future earnings, so know the risk before you make it." CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE Mudd concluded his comments by suggesting that Macklemore should take into account the potential consequences of taking such a polarizing stance as a public figure. "If Macklemore were my client, I'd advise him that calling a war a genocide invites the public shredding Bill Maher just delivered," Mudd told Fox News Digital. "There's no rule against entertainers taking a stance, but he needs to understand the career, reputational and pushback risk that comes with it."

The group walked into Triplemania 34 in Las Vegas on Friday night with an aim to capture the AAA World Trios Championship against Los Psycho Circus. By the end of their match, Angel, Berto and Daga were holding the belts. COMPLETE PRO WRESTLING COVERAGE ON OUTKICK Psycho Clown, Dave the Clown and Murder Clown were a formidable group in their own right. The group had held the championship at Origenes all the way back in November 2024 and held the title for 663 days before running into Los Perros del Mal. "The Dogs of Evil" did get some help in the form of El Carnicero, who has been tormenting the AAA roster for weeks. He attacked Dave the Clown while the referee’s back was turned. It caused Psycho Clown to take his eye off the ball. Psycho Clown and El Carnicero brawled to the back while the match was still ongoing. The six-man tag team match became a three-on-two as Los Perros del Mal took advantage.

They beat Los Psycho Circus then as well – which featured Psycho Clown, Murder Clown and Monster Clown. The group held the titles for 267 days before eventually losing to Los Psycho Circus in March 2012. For now, Los Perros del Mal are on top of the trios world.

She did just that. Perez outlasted WWE star Nattie and AAA stars La Hiedra and Faby Apache to win the match and get a chance at the Reina de Reinas Championship at Worlds Collide either against reigning champion Flammer or La Catalina – who square off for the title on Night 2 in Mexico City. COMPLETE PRO WRESTLING COVERAGE ON OUTKICK It was a hard-hitting contest and Perez had to watch her back throughout. In the opening moments of the match, her three opponents ganged up on her and tossed her out of the ring. She even saw Flammer get involved as she tried to help La Hiedra win the match. However, Perez pushed La Hiedra into Flammer and nailed Pop Rox. She pinned La Hiedra and won the match. La Hiedra and Flammer seemed to be on opposite ends of the spectrum. The two had an animated conversation in the ring once the match was finished. Nonetheless, Perez is headed to Worlds Collide at the end of the month in pursuit of the Reina de Reinas Championship.

I have a big opportunity right in front of me that I know I'm gonna take. I know that I'm gonna go straight to Worlds Collide and become Reina de Reinas champion, but also I am not underestimating every woman that is in this match because like you said, legends in all different aspects," she said. "La Hiedra knows AAA inside and out. Natalya (Nattie), she's a legend in WWE in the Divas era. She's a trailblazer for us women. She didn't get these opportunities before and she worked to make sure that all of us got these opportunities. So, I respect her so much for that. Faby Apache, a legend in the Lucha Libre world. "So yeah, I have a lot on my plate right now, but it's nothing that ‘The Prodigy’ can't overcome. ‘The Prodigy’ has gone through so much the past 10 years of me wrestling, and if anybody thinks that I'm just gonna let this opportunity slip away, I've been waiting for one opportunity and I finally have it and I'm not gonna let it slip through my fingers."

The pomp, the circumstance, the parties, and of course, the big game itself, unify the community with a spirit and an electricity that is hard to replicate elsewhere. But the arts, especially music, come close. Later Saturday, as No. 1 Ohio State invades the Lone Star State to take on No. 4 Texas in the most marquee Week 2 matchup in the country, OutKick University’s Game Of The Week, students on campus in Austin will be revved up for some great football. Music from the marching band, and from tailgating parties will be a big part of the festivities. And the music won’t stop there. If they want to keep the groove going for a post-game party on Sunday, Texas students are welcome, as they are every Sunday, to stop by Anna Buendia’s house, which is affectionately known as "The Lodge," located off Pearl Street on West Campus. "The Lodge" is where music happens every day, and especially on Sundays, when musicians play all day long and free food is provided to anyone who stops by. "It's Austin, so music's everywhere ," Buendia said. "It’s a densely art-rich city to be in, and just finding a microculture within it has been so wonderful. " EVEN ON OPENING WEEKEND, FOOTBALL PLAYERS AT CLEMSON, LSU MIGHT BE UPSTAGED ON CAMPUS BY THESE FURRY FRIENDS Buendia, a Texas native who has been either writing or performing music since she was 16, is one of five roommates at "The Lodge." All of the roommates in the rented home, steps from the heart of campus, are musicians who love to write music, play music and perform music together. And, as a way to spread their love of music, they have opened up their home, which is equipped with all kinds of instruments and equipment, to other Texas students for free jam sessions, rehearsals, writing sessions and even more slickly produced ticketed performances. The program that Buendia created is called "Meet Me Here." As in, meet me here…to make music (or just listen to it). "I kind of became obsessed with understanding the creative processes of the musicians around me," Buendia, a 21-year-old senior public relations major said. "Everyone has a really interesting process to their work. What I wanted to do was, it started out of my bedroom, and so that was the concept (to) meet me in my creative sanctuary. And I wanted to meet the artists in their creative plane to understand the processes for their works. And I kept saying that. I kept saying, I just want them to meet me here, meet me here. That's how that started. Meet me here." In the living room of "The Lodge," Buendia says that there are 20 guitars, two drum sets and a sound system. Students will reserve their "Meet Me Here" space to practice their songs, to play with others, to have fun. "Our whole living room is perfect for a rehearsal space, and so daily, there's rehearsals happening," Buendia said. "Even when there's not rehearsals happening, there's music being made. Like yesterday, I had a small moment of bliss. I was just walking down my stairs, and I could hear my roommate upstairs recording a song, and two of my roommates downstairs, each learning and writing songs, like separate from each other, and it was just like, wow, like it's really awesome to see that." The house is also used for public performances, from small intimate gatherings any day of the week, to the outdoor Sunday staple that entertains and feeds the neighborhood in a block-party setting. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! "We do these ‘Meet Me Here’ tapings. Basically, it's like a whole production," Buendia said. "We bring a whole production crew, and the living room turns into a set, and we have an intimate audience of 25 to 30 people upstairs on our second-floor balcony. And we do a live taping of a local band, and it's a very intimate event. Normally, ticket purchasers get a piece of physical media, and we try to keep the tickets as cheap as possible. Then the artist gets rights to all the audio and the video that we take, and all of that work from our production crew is done for free, just out of passion for the space and the artists that we're highlighting." The Sunday Jams started as something small and casual, too. But they have evolved into a community outreach that includes clothing drives and other charitable initiatives. "I started grilling hot dogs outside my house on Sundays, and putting my instruments outside with my roommates, and we would just do like free hot dogs, come jam with us. And it became like a consistent Sunday thing," Buendia said. "I collaborated with a mutual aid organization founded by a good friend called the 'Student Solidarity Network.' They have helped us build just an incredible community of our neighbors that cook biweekly food for like 100 to 200 people. It's a different menu every week. They bring laborers to help us move all the equipment outside and set up the stage. We do (clothing) drives, so if you have any clothes you need to donate, you can bring it to our house, and we have free piles and racks of clothes at every Sunday jam. "It’s a biweekly block party. Anyone can come join, hop on the mic, on the drums, on the guitar, on the bass, eat, just sit there. There's something happening here every single day, music related." CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Buendia also sees friendships form and partnerships born. Students find bandmates and singing partners and learn from each other. "I always like to hear a conversation when we start wrapping up where a musician asks someone that they just met that day, ‘Do you wanna come to my place and record a song? ’ And, and it's always like, ‘Yes, of course,’ and then they come back next week together, and it's just, it's a really beautiful thing to watch. So there are opportunities. I think just like the same way connecting with anyone in any other way, there are opportunities to grow mutually." Now in her final year of college, Buendia has seen plenty of growth in herself. In all kinds of ways. But she is convinced that her music, "Meet Me Here" and "The Lodge" are the biggest reasons she let down her guard and was able to maximize her college experience. STAY "FEARLESS" ON THE GO!

"Yesterday, I was reading through my old journals from my freshman year of high school talking about how I felt so lonely those first few months, and I was just thinking about if I was able to walk upon (Pearl) street on a Sunday, it would have done so much for me," Buendia said. "It feels really beautiful that I'm able to be part of such a fruitful community that cares about each other and is interested in setting up events where people can be accepted and fed and clothed and walk away with a full belly, a new t-shirt, hopefully new shoes, pants, and, just knowing that they have somewhere where they belong.

Or, you know, something like that. Cruz made a nearly 10-minute cameo on ESPN's College GameDay Saturday morning to push the "Protect College Sports Act," which is currently collecting dust in Congress. Among the many things Cruz said, the most notable was this: "I think we're going to get the (60) votes." PROTECT COLLEGE SPORTS ACT STALLS IN OVERNIGHT SENATE SHOWDOWN, VOTE PUSHED TO SEPTEMBER AFTER CHAOTIC EVENING Before we get into the nuts and bolts of the bill — and believe me, I'll keep that brief — we have to address the elephant in the room. Cruz, a Texas senator, got booed so loudly during the entirety of the interview — which took place on the Longhorns' Austin campus — that you could barely hear a word he said. Fair is fair, and I have to be fair here ... This was a tough watch: Goodness gracious. Just a brutal scene here for Ted Cruz. You couldn't hear a thing he said, for the most part, the entire interview. At one point, it sounded like it was finally dying down, only for the "Ted you suck" chants to take over. Now, I have no idea why they were booing Ted Cruz. The truth is, they don't, either. Do you think a bunch of hungover college kids who haven't slept since Thursday give a you-know-what about the "Protect College Sports Act"? Of course not! They couldn't tell you one single thing in the act, or what it's about, or whether it's good or not. They're not booing the bill itself — which, in theory, will help stabilize the current NIL landscape in college sports, which has spiraled out of control. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Nick Saban has backed it. Deion Sanders was on a commercial supporting the bill immediately following Cruz's appearance. PRESIDENT TRUMP PUSHES LAWMAKERS ON LEGISLATION AS 'PROTECT COLLEGE SPORTS ACT' HANGS ON BY A THREAD Still, it's struggling to pass. Shocking! That almost never happens in Congress. As for the booing ... I assume it's because Cruz A) is a Republican and college campuses lean left, B) students don't want politics on a sports show, C) Austin is a liberal town, or C) all the above. TED CRUZ URGES SENATE TO STAY IN WASHINGTON UNTIL PROTECT COLLEGE SPORTS ACT PASSES THIS WEEK He's clearly a Longhorns fan, so you would think that would've been his saving grace here. But not in Austin, which is a liberal haven in a deep red state. Credit to ESPN for having a Republican on its airwaves, though. That's a big step! Just wish we could've heard a thing he said. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aa5700075342cf4db8588db The one line from JD Vance’s GOP keynote that reveals his vision for America te 2026-09-12T15:30:08.474Z The one line from JD Vance’s GOP keynote that reveals his vision for America Vice President JD Vance used his keynote address at the Republican midterm convention Thursday to frame the November elections as a fight over America’s future, arguing that every child is entitled to inherit the country’s opportunities regardless of background. The speech also gave Vance one of his most prominent national platforms since becoming vice president to define his own political vision, as he emerges as a central figure in the GOP’s post-Trump future and speculation continues about a potential 2028 presidential campaign. "Every American child is born an heir, born with the right to inherit the blessings of the greatest country on Earth — not because of who their parents are, what they look like or where they come from, but because they are Americans and this is our country," Vance said in Dallas. "And that birthright, ladies and gentlemen, is what this November is all about," he added. VANCE, CRUZ, HEAD TO IOWA ON 2026 MISSIONS AS 2028 GOP RACE TO SUCCEED TRUMP HEATS UP Vance tied that idea to his own family, speaking about the birth of his fourth child, Alec, six weeks ago. He said he wants his son and all American children to grow up with access to clean water, healthy food, a quality education, safe communities and the opportunity to afford a home and raise a family. He also connected that vision to the legacy of his late friend Charlie Kirk, who was killed one year ago. Vance said Kirk encouraged young men to fall in love, start families and become fathers. The speech marked a shift from the personal story of Vance’s Appalachian upbringing that he emphasized during the 2024 Republican convention. Instead, Vance presented himself as a father focused on the country his children will inherit, while using the platform to preview the issues and themes that could define his future in the Republican Party. TRUMP DANGLES $5,000 CHECKS AS DEBT SURGES — BUT ONLY IF GOP CAN CLEAR MAJOR MIDTERM HURDLE Vance then pivoted from his family-focused message to a sweeping attack on the Democratic Party. He accused Democrats of abandoning working-class Americans and becoming increasingly hostile toward the country’s traditional values. "The Democrats are the party of hatred," Vance said. "They’re the party that despises America and the people who built it." FOLLOW FOX NEWS DIGITAL’S COVERAGE OF THE GOP’S 2026 MIDTERM CONVENTION He urged Republicans to view the November election as more than a traditional partisan contest. "This November is so much more than red team versus blue team," Vance said. "It’s about fighting for our fellow citizens, for their dreams, and for the inheritance of a great nation that all of us are going to leave behind." The speech placed family, faith and national identity at the center of Vance’s midterm message while offering a glimpse of how he could define himself within the Republican Party beyond President Donald Trump.

You rent a car, check into a business or go somewhere that needs to verify your age. Someone scans your ID, hands it back and you move on. A dark web service called Nexus claimed to have collected more than 153 million driver's license records from people in the United States and Canada. It also claimed to have more than 10 million identification cards, over 3 million travel documents or international IDs and at least 579,000 medical cards. That's a staggering amount of identity information. There is an important caveat, though. The 153 million figure comes from Nexus itself. It has not been confirmed as the number of unique people affected. Some records also contained multiple images of the same license. Still, researchers found enough real driver's licenses in the database to get the FBI's attention. NEW! Join our upcoming CyberGuy LIVE class: Get Better Healthcare With AI In this free live online class, Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson will show you five practical ways AI can help you take a more active role in your healthcare.

No technical experience is needed. Register for free now at CyberGuyLive.com INSURANCE BREACH EXPOSES 7M DRIVER'S LICENSES KrebsOnSecurity reported that Nexus appeared on the Russian-language cybercrime forum Exploit on Aug. 31. The service advertised access to identity documents covering more than 170 million people in North America. Driver's licenses made up the biggest category. Nexus claimed more than 153 million driver's license records. It also advertised millions of other identity documents and hundreds of thousands of medical cards. Krebs tested the service by running a blank search. That returned roughly 11.5 million pages of results with about 15 records per page. That does not prove there were 153 million different people in the database. However, it does support the possibility that the collection was enormous. More concerning, the driver's license total increased by nearly 400,000 records in about 24 hours while Krebs was examining the service. The people running Nexus claimed they had been continuously taking new data for more than a year. Investigators have not independently verified that claim. The timestamps attached to some of the images helped researchers begin tracing where the records might have originated. Cybersecurity journalist Brian Krebs discovered his own Virginia driver's license being offered as a free sample by the people promoting Nexus. His record contained six image files. Those included images of the front and back of his license, along with infrared and ultraviolet versions. Krebs then asked friends and family members for permission to search for their licenses. Nine people whose licenses appeared in Nexus said the timestamps closely matched dates when they had traveled or presented identification. That led investigators away from the idea that airport security alone might explain the records. For example, Krebs reported that he had used his passport at airport security during one trip. Later that day, he and his mother handed their driver's licenses to a Hertz rental car representative. Their driver's license scans in Nexus carried timestamps only seconds apart. Security researcher Zach Edwards found his license in Nexus too. His timestamp lined up with a trip to Las Vegas. Edwards said he had presented his license in several places during the trip. However, he specifically remembered having it scanned at Planet 13, a marijuana dispensary. The Planet 13 connection pointed researchers toward Louisiana-based identity verification company IDScan.net, which announced a partnership with the dispensary in 2022. Its scanners can capture IDs using ultraviolet, infrared and white light, similar to the additional scans found in some Nexus records. IDScan.net has since acknowledged a security incident. The company says an unauthorized third party may have accessed or copied customer information stored in accounts on its cloud. That information may include full names and driver's license or other government-issued identification numbers. IDScan.net says it is notifying potentially affected people and offering free credit monitoring. However, the company has not confirmed that the Nexus collection came from its systems or that the 153 million records represent 153 million unique people. IDENTITY THEFT RARELY ANNOUNCES ITSELF: 6 SIGNS YOU MISSED The FBI has now confirmed that it is examining what happened. In a statement to Reuters on Sept. 2, the bureau said it was "looking into the incident" but could not provide more information because of the ongoing investigation. Reuters reported that the breach, if confirmed at the reported scale, could rank among the largest exposures of government-issued identity documents in North America. Shortly after KrebsOnSecurity published its investigation, the Nexus dark web site disappeared. Its login page was replaced with a message saying the service was no longer available. That does not mean the stolen records disappeared with it. Anyone who purchased or downloaded information before the site vanished could potentially retain copies. Your driver's license holds information criminals can use to make impersonation attempts much more convincing. Depending on the state, it may include your full name, address, date of birth, license number, photograph and signature. A high-quality image of the front and back can also give a criminal something physical to present during an identity check. That can become especially concerning when businesses use driver's licenses to verify customers remotely or in person. A stolen card number can usually be canceled. Your name, photograph and other identity information are much harder to replace. You cannot pull back a driver's license scan that may already have leaked, but you can make stolen identity information harder to use and watch for warning signs. A credit freeze can make it much harder for someone to open a new credit account using your identity. The Federal Trade Commission says freezes are free. They also do not affect your credit score and remain in place until you lift them. To fully freeze your credit, contact Equifax, Experian and TransUnion separately . A freeze primarily protects against new credit accounts. It will not stop someone from misusing an existing bank account or another service that does not check your credit. The FTC recommends credit freezes as one of the strongest protections against new-account identity theft. Look through your credit reports for accounts, inquiries or personal information you do not recognize. An unfamiliar account can be an early sign that someone is using your identity. Do not assume one clean check means you're finished. Stolen information can sit unused for months before a criminal tries it. The FTC recommends reviewing your credit reports regularly for accounts you do not recognize. A credit freeze cannot stop every form of identity fraud. Turn on transaction alerts through your bank and credit card providers. Also watch for password changes, new devices and changes to your contact information. Check your statements instead of relying only on alerts. Your primary email account can become a gateway to everything else. Use a strong, unique password, store it in a trusted password manager and enable multifactor authentication when available. Protect your mobile account too. Ask your carrier whether you can add an account PIN or stronger protection against unauthorized number transfers. Also, treat unexpected calls differently when the caller already knows information about you. Knowing your address or driver's license details does not prove someone is legitimate. That information could have come from stolen records. Even with good security habits, identity theft can still happen. Your Social Security number, financial information or other personal data may already be exposed without you knowing it. An identity theft protection service can add another layer of monitoring. Depending on the service and plan, protection may include credit and financial account monitoring, alerts when personal information appears in known breaches or risky online locations and access to specialists who can help with recovery if fraud occurs. Some services also offer reimbursement or coverage for eligible identity theft losses. Look closely at what each service monitors, how quickly it sends alerts and what recovery help is included. See my tips and best picks on Best Identity Theft Protection at CyberGuy.com. If you discover someone using your identity, document what happened and start the recovery process quickly. The FTC recommends reporting identity theft through IdentityTheft.gov. The service creates a recovery plan based on the type of fraud involved. If someone misuses your driver's license, contact your state motor vehicle agency as well. Procedures for replacing a compromised license or changing a license number vary by state. Keep copies of reports, case numbers and correspondence. You may need them later when disputing fraudulent activity. STOLEN IDS SOLD FOR ‘HAPPY MEAL’ PRICES FUEL BILLIONS IN US BENEFIT FRAUD What jumps out at me here goes beyond the massive 153 million figure. We hand over our driver's licenses all the time, often without knowing who keeps the scan or how long they store it. If criminals get a copy, they may have another powerful piece of information to use for identity theft. While investigators work to determine where the Nexus records came from, protect what you can. Consider freezing your credit, keep an eye on your accounts and use identity theft monitoring if you want added protection. And the next time someone scans your license, ask what happens to that image after you leave.

Now the veteran nicknamed "Xena" is slipping into red lipstick and stilettos to tell a different side of her story. The Virginia resident is now appearing in the Pin-Ups For Vets’ 21st annual fundraiser calendar for 2027, which features 13 female veterans from across the country photographed in vintage styles. "The whole reason I even joined the military was because of 'Saving Private Ryan,'" Schmidt told Fox News Digital. "So it was a full-circle moment to go back into that World War II era.  And it's so great to see a spotlight on female veterans in this way, especially highlighting femininity." USAF VETERAN WHO DONATED 2 ORGANS POSES AS ‘40S PINUP MODEL "I know a lot of us don't feel super feminine when we're in uniform, but to be a part of this group of women who are so accomplished and have been through a lot of obstacles and challenges, it's really special to be a part of it," Schmidt added. The award-winning nonprofit, founded in 2006 by California resident Gina Elise, raises money to support hospitalized and deployed troops. It produces World War II-inspired bombshell calendars featuring veterans as models. Elise previously told Fox News Digital she was inspired by Hollywood actress Betty Grable, whose swimsuit snap was distributed to GIs during World War II. Proceeds from the calendar support hospital visits, care packages for deployed troops, ongoing donations of rehabilitation equipment to VA hospitals and goods for homeless veterans and those transitioning to housing. To date, Pin-Ups For Vets has donated nearly $140,000 worth of rehab equipment to veterans hospitals and military hospitals, according to the organization. It has also visited more than 25,000 ill and injured veterans at their bedsides in more than 135 hospitals and state veterans' homes. WATCH: PIN-UPS FOR VETS CALENDAR MODEL HOPES TO INSPIRE YOUNG WOMEN Growing up, Schmidt said she was always deeply patriotic. But after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, she knew she wanted to serve in what she called "the war of my generation." She went on to serve as an Arabic linguist and interrogator. "I actually wanted to learn Russian first," Schmidt said with a laugh. "I thought Russian just sounded cool. But it was 2002, and we needed Arabic. So I went with Arabic. And I'm so glad now that I did." Schmidt soon learned that earning her place wouldn't come easy. "It was very divided," she explained. "Initially, I wasn't even supposed to go on deployment. They told me no many, many times, but I am persistent and creative. I found a way to get myself onto the deployment. And there were definitely mixed reactions. Some of them saw the value in my skill set. Some of them just thought it was more risk than it was worth." "Some of them told me to my face, 'You don't belong here. We don't want any females,' which isn't fun to hear, but I appreciated that because at least I knew where I stood with those guys," she recalled. "The other ones who were nice, I was just like, 'I'm not sure what your angle is here,' but I kept my head down. I worked hard. I didn't cause any drama. And after a little while, the guys that were opposed to having me there, they all came around eventually." GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE Schmidt said she deployed to Iraq as the only woman in her battalion, where not everyone believed she belonged. But then suddenly, one soldier who had been outspoken about not wanting her there asked to borrow her helmet. Hours later, he returned it with "Xena" painted across the back — a nod to the legendary warrior princess. Schmidt later learned the nickname had quietly spread among the troops after they watched her accompany Green Berets on missions while many remained at the forward operating base. At that moment, she said, she knew she had earned their respect and been accepted as one of the team. "Being the only female to accompany the guys on the missions, it was an adventure," she said. "It felt very validating to be able to go out as one of the team members. The objective was always clear before I went on, but getting to go inside and actually getting intel from women and children that they weren't able to otherwise, it felt really cool." "I would go out on missions with the ODAs, those are the teams of Green Berets, and they separate the women and children from the men," she said. "And our guys culturally are not able to talk to the women. And so, by having a female on the objective, I could speak to them, and I could ask them about their husbands and what's really going on behind the scenes and gather intelligence that the guys would not have access to otherwise." Schmidt said Iraqi women were curious about the female American soldier who was armed yet spoke their language. They would quickly recognize her. "They just started rattling off Arabic, asking me a million questions," Schmidt recalled. "Like, 'We know you speak Arabic. We know you have this information. Talk to us. What's going on?' There was a lot of curiosity, a lot of hesitance. But I think they may saw that, 'Hey, if you talk to me, I can help your situation. If you don't talk to me, there's nothing I can do for you.'" LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS One interrogation still vividly stands out to Schmidt. On missions, Schmidt was almost unrecognizable. Clad in full combat gear with her hair pulled back in a tight bun, she accompanied Green Berets on the field. But inside the interrogation room, she traded her uniform for civilian clothes. "This particular mission, I was there," Schmidt recalled. "I saw the guy being detained." During the interrogation, Schmidt asked the detainee to explain how he had been captured. He launched into what Schmidt said she knew was a fabricated story. "That's not how you were detained," she told him. "Tell me the truth." He just smirked. PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE Then Schmidt reached up and pulled back her hair. "Imagine no hair," she said. "Imagine me in uniform. I was there." Schmidt said the man's eyes widened. He instantly recognized the interrogator who had witnessed his capture. "I kind of enjoyed that," she said. "And then, the rest of the questioning went a little bit different after that." Asked what Americans take for granted, Schmidt didn't hesitate. "Everything." That is the message she hopes to carry now as a model. "Our freedom, our ability, especially for women, especially coming back from the Middle East, just being able to drive by myself, vote, get a job, have a mortgage and credit cards, that I do not take for granted," she explained. "Just basic comforts of being at home. People complain about things, and I just roll my eyes now, thinking we have it so good; you guys don't even understand. But I think just appreciating the opportunities we have." "The opportunity is the largest one for me," she continued. "We can be anyone we want to be, we can go anywhere we want to go, do what we want to do, and not everyone in the world has that freedom. Just being able to do anything that I want to do without a man. I can go about my life, and I do not need a male guardian there with me to do it. I think a lot of women here don't understand what life is really like for others. I'm grateful that I had exposure to it, so that it all makes me more appreciative." Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aa566a075342cf4db858714 Abdul El-Sayed touts ‘whole a--’ medical credentials while defending sex changes for children te 2026-09-12T14:50:08.517Z Abdul El-Sayed touts ‘whole a--’ medical credentials while defending sex changes for children Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed said the government should not restrict sex changes, arguing that "whole a--" doctors like himself should be allowed to make their own determinations for patients' treatment plans. The remarks came during El-Sayed's Friday rally held at Michigan State University, during which the former Detroit Health Department head responded to a student's question about protecting sex changes. Since launching his campaign, El-Sayed has flaunted that he is a "physician" and, if elected, he would be the first doctor to serve as a Democratic senator in 50 years. However, Fox News Digital previously reported El-Sayed has never held a medical license in Michigan or New York. "I went to a whole a-- medical school, everybody I graduated with also went to whole a-- medical school," El-Sayed said. "And then ... they went to whole a-- residency. Right? And some of them went to whole a-- fellowship. They took whole a-- exams to provide whole a-- healthcare." DEM SENATE HOPEFUL’S ‘PHYSICIAN’ CAMPAIGN PITCH UNDER FIRE AFTER LICENSE RECORDS REVEAL KEY GAPS "They are the experts that a patient wants to see when they seek care," El-Sayed continued. "And the decision about what healthcare is necessary ought to be held between a patient — and or their parents if they're under the age of 18 — and their doctor. That's it." The remarks come as the Trump administration has made major strides in restricting minors' access to "sex-rejecting" procedures, which include hormone therapy and surgeries. Earlier this week, the Justice Department announced that Mount Sinai had joined other hospitals, like Texas Children's Hospital, the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and Connecticut Children's Hospital, to halt sex change procedures for children after reaching an agreement with the Trump administration. MEDICAID ENDS FUNDING FOR CHILD SEX-CHANGE PROCEDURES AS TRUMP ADMIN SLAMS 'EXPERIMENTAL' TREATMENTS El-Sayed has made the promise of Medicare for All — government-run healthcare — as the major selling point of his campaign; he said that even though the government will be covering the bill, it needs to stay out of the doctor's decisions about a patient's treatment plan. "I don't think the government gets to have a say about what health care is provided in what circumstances and why," El-Sayed said. "And to me, that is the standard on which we decide how we make health care decisions." THE MEDICARE FOR ALL TRADE-OFFS SOCIALISTS AREN'T TALKING ABOUT, ACCORDING TO EXPERTS "Not what the government says you can or can't do, but what a patient and/or their parent, if they're under 18, and their provider to decide. That's the most important thing," El-Sayed continued. "And there's a lot of disinformation about us, what we're talking about, when we talk about reproductive rights and when we're talking about health care for the trans folks. But, in the end, the place where the rubber meets the rope is in that clinical room between a patient and a provider, and that to me is the center we should engage on." El-Sayed argued that Republicans agree with his belief that treatment decisions should be between a patient and their doctor, pointing to the Right to Try Act, which allows terminally ill patients to try experimental drug treatments that aren't yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration after they have exhausted all other treatment options. "Because conservatives fought for a very long time for this legislation called 'Right to Try' legislation, which is the idea that the government couldn't tell you [that] you couldn't have a certain medication," El-Sayed said. TRUMP ADMINISTRATION PROBE COULD UPEND WIDELY USED TRANSGENDER YOUTH TREATMENT GUIDELINES "So they agree that the decision about healthcare ought to be between the person and their provider. That's it. So let's use that standard, and keep to that standard, and make sure the government doesn't have the ability to tell you what you can or cannot do with your own life," El-Sayed said. However, the research on the efficacy of treating individuals with gender dysphoria by allowing them to change sexes with "cross-sex" hormones and puberty blockers is limited. The World Professional Association for Transgender Health, whose guidelines are used by leading medical associations like the American Academy of Peditatrics, is currently facing a lawsuit from the Federal Trade Commission stemming from allegations that its guidelines misled parents about the "medical consensus and medical necessity, as well as the safety and effectiveness" of sex change procedures. The FTC has accused WPATH of failing to disclose the side effects associated with some procedures, such as patients experiencing incontinence, erectile pain, mood disturbances, pelvic pain, and vaginal pain stemming from "cross-sex" hormones. Meanwhile, countries that have socialized medicine have put restrictions in place for minors' seeking sex changes. In England, the National Health Service put a pause on "cross-sex" hormones for 16- and 17-year-olds in March after finding research was "really weak" to support it. The country already had a ban in place restricting children under 16 years old from taking sex-change hormones. El-Sayed's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment regarding his medical credentials.

Golf cart tours have surged in popularity, with bookings this summer up 147% compared with 2024, according to Tripadvisor data cited by The Associated Press (AP).  The result? Total chaos, locals say. POPULAR DESTINATION CRACKS DOWN HARD ON TOURISTS AS NEW LIMITS THREATEN SUMMER GETAWAYS Critics argue the golf carts are out of control, contributing to illegal parking, heavier traffic and massive crowds. As many as 500 carts could now be operating on the streets of Rome, Italy, according to AP. Supporters counter the carts are quiet, take up less space and produce no exhaust fumes that can discolor historic monuments, the outlet reported. Pauline Frommer, publisher of Frommer's guidebooks and Frommers.com, told Fox News Digital that Rome's limited public transportation has created demand for another way to get around. ANGRY LOCALS BLOCK FAMOUS BEACH AS MASS TOURISM PROTESTS ESCALATE AT VACATION HOT SPOT "There isn't that much public transportation because whenever they start to dig a subway, they come upon a priceless relic and the dig site becomes an archaeological site," said Frommer, the daughter of late travel guidebook pioneer Arthur Frommer.  "Into this void has come a fleet of golf carts." Frommer said the small vehicles can maneuver through Rome's historic center and narrow streets, making them an attractive option for tourists trying to cover more ground. The problem, Frommer said, is the sheer number competing for space. FAMOUS BEACH NOW REQUIRES VISITORS TO RESERVE SPOTS WEEKS AHEAD AND PAY FEES The Associated Press witnessed hostility firsthand during a late-August ride. A van pulled up alongside a cart, the outlet said. "You’re in the middle of the road!" the van driver reportedly yelled.  "The road isn’t yours!" the golf cart driver fired back. City officials aren't amused. Rome's deputy mayor for sustainable mobility and transport, Eugenio Patanè, asked the regional government to give the city greater authority over the carts, according to the AP. If granted, Rome plans to introduce rules that would limit the number of carts, designate routes for tours and determine which operators can provide them. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER "We will be able to regulate this phenomenon that has now become rampant and, in some cases, even worrisome," Patanè told the AP. The push comes amid a broader debate over how some of the world's most visited destinations can accommodate tourists while preserving everyday life for residents. "Cities around the world right now are struggling with overtourism," Frommer said. "In many of the world's most popular tourist cities, there are more visitors than residents." Frommer pointed to restrictions on short-term rentals and rules aimed at protecting historic sites as ways major cities have tried to manage tourism. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE STORIES Limits on golf carts would have an impact on visitors who have difficulty walking. Rome "has very little public transportation. So for people who have mobility impairments, it can be a difficult city to visit," she said. "For certain types of tourists, yes, this will be a blow. It will mean it'll be harder to get around Rome," she said. The golf carts have also fueled debate online. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ "Unless you have mobility issues and need the golf cart to get around, then please don't," one Reddit user wrote.  "Rome is a living, breathing city, home to millions of us. It's not a theme park for your enjoyment." Another commenter barked, "Golf carts belong on a golf course or resort, not in an actual city." Others defended the tours and said they offered an easy way to see the city. "I did one last week. ... It was around [three] hours and excellent!" one traveler wrote.

Ryan Reynolds has a bone to pick with the 1980s — but Dr. Drew Pinksy isn't buying it. The "Deadpool" star recently shared a decidedly un-nostalgic view of the decade, arguing that the passage of time has allowed people to romanticize an era that was far more turbulent than the movies, music and pop culture of the time might suggest. "What's interesting about when you get far enough away from a time period that's quite distinct, I think there's always a lovely feeling associated with it. It's almost like you pave over all the trauma with, like, puppy dogs and ice cream," Reynolds said during an interview with Variety. POLITICIAN SPENCER PRATT CALLS OUT ACTOR RYAN REYNOLDS FOR CONDEMNING 1980S NOSTALGIA "And the '80s was a brutal, brutal time for people. It was a f---ing mess... and people forget that. It was a tremendous strife. Sociopolitical tensions everywhere." Reynolds pointed to the lingering shadow of the Cold War and the Cuban Missile Crisis, noting that the latter had occurred only a couple of decades earlier. "So, you know, it's a ... it's a tumultuous period, but you look back at it now, and you're like, 'Oh, yeah. "Top Gun." Cocaine!' Like, 'No!' It was really scary," he said. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

The actor also questioned how future generations will view the current era, suggesting that cultural nostalgia can obscure the realities of the time in which people actually lived. PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE His comments sparked a debate on the "Actual Friends" podcast, where celebrity physician Dr. Drew pushed back on Reynolds' assessment. "I am a Ryan Reynolds fan. I met him way back in the day. People take aim at him all the time. I think he's a great guy," Dr. Drew said. "He is very wrong here." GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE Dr. Drew argued Reynolds was confusing the 1980s with the more turbulent 1970s, describing the following decade as a period of optimism and celebration. "The '80s was this huge relief that came," he said. "And yes, there was a lot of hatred for Reagan at the beginning, but things went so well it all went away, and it was just one relief, one celebration after another for like eight years." For Dr. Drew, the debate ultimately boils down to one question: "What happened to fun?" "The '80s were just flat-out fun. They really were. People were having fun, and we just don't seem to have fun anymore," he said. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aa55f9775342cf4db8585d7 Want the iPhone 18 Pro?

The Union hadn’t won a match since June 20. A 1-1 draw with Rising didn’t alter those fortunes but it put a damper on the home team’s playoff prospects despite a current four-game unbeaten streak. Entering play Saturday, Rising (7-7-9) sat in ninth place in the Western Conference standings with 30 points, one point back of Lexington SC, the last team above the playoff cutoff line, with seven matches remaining.  Coach Pa-Modou Kah said the Monterey result could play a massive role in Rising’s fortunes down the stretch. “Obviously you wanted to get the win,” Kah said. “And maybe it’s a draw that will be important.  “Are we happy with the draw? No, we are absolutely not happy with the draw when the mindset is always to win every game possible.” Rising will try to get back on track on Saturday when they host FC Tulsa in a crucial matchup. Rising played Tulsa on the road on March 28, also resulting in a 1-1 draw.  Tulsa currently sits in fifth place in the Western Conference that they won last season. They are currently in a three-way tie at 36 points, but tiebreakers FC Tulsa ahead of San Antonio FC but behind Orange County SC. Tulsa also have some momentum, coming in on a three-game unbeaten streak. The strength of FC Tulsa is playing vertically, an approach that has aided their defense. They have 10 clean sheets and have only conceded 19 goals this season. They are tied for second in clean sheets and second in fewest goals conceded. That stingy approach has been important because Tulsa have only scored 26 goals this season, tied for 19th in the league.  Defender Collin Smith touched on how Rising will tackle FC Tulsa. “I’d say just having our backline ready to attack those balls, getting secondary numbers, midfielders coming in to support, making sure they’re ready for the seconds,” he said. “Then getting back up on the field or being able to keep the ball. Just being able to interrupt their game plan.” On the subject of tackling, both these teams are known to be highly aggressive on the ball. That results in both being ranked among the top five in yellow cards this season, Rising with 62 and Tulsa with 63. However, Rising have four red cards, while FC Tulsa have yet to be shown one this year.  The big picture here is that this match could have monumental implications headed into the final stretch of the season.  “We’re two homestretch games away from Tulsa, which is going to be very important to push us to where we want to be.” Kah said.  There is only a six-point difference between Rising and Tulsa in the standings. A win for either team could make a difference down the stretch. So could injuries, which have plagued Rising this season, with the most impactful ones coming to key forwards Damian Rivera (meniscus tear) and Kelvin Arase (hamstring). Goalkeeper Patrick Rakovsky emphasized how important having both available will be down the stretch. “Looking at Damian Rivera right now, he could be one of the best players in the league, one of the best wingers in the league,” Rakovsky said. “We also have Kelvin (Arase) coming back so there is so much quality who are (coming) back. It makes us really optimistic.” Rising have been mostly successful at home, sporting a 5-2-4 record. FC Tulsa have a respectable road record of 4-3-3. Given the tightly packed standings, every one of Rising’s seven remaining matches is important, but Kah put added emphasis on four of them.  “We’ve got to take care of business at home,” he said.

The rematch is set for Saturday night in Texas, as Ohio State makes the 1,234 mile trek to Austin for a rematch with the Longhorns. But more importantly, Steve Sarkisian will have his 'semifinals aren’t good enough' mantra tested by a Buckeyes team looking to make another Big Ten statement in what is now "SEC Country." While the offseason has been filled with questions surrounding whether this is the year Arch Manning takes the next step in becoming one of the best quarterbacks to come out of Austin, the bigger question is whether both Texas and Ohio State can justify spending over $40 million on their 2026 roster. LSU PRESIDENT WADE ROUSSE ENDS LANE KIFFIN'S SEC SHOWDOWN, BUT THERE IS STILL RELATIONSHIPS TO MEND In reality, the storylines write themselves when it comes to what happens on the field. Will this turn into a shootout in Austin, or will both defenses rise to the occasion to limit both Manning and Julian Sayin? Either way, we're in for a show on Saturday night. And, there will be thousands of Ohio State fans in town to witness the next chapter of this convenient rivalry. It didn’t take very long for the first Buckeyes to be seen, at least by me, on their way to Austin for this Top-5 showdown. Sitting at the gate inside the Nashville airport, waiting to board my flight to Austin, the trash talking had already begun. "Look, I know you're headed to Austin, but I just wanted to tell you all 'Go Buckeyes' and I hope the ride back is a bit longer," a Southwest gate agent said over the intercom. What more could you ask for? Trash talking by the guy who is scanning our plane tickets is the perfect way to get this weekend started. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! In all honesty, the more entertaining part came on the actual plane. Sitting two-seats over from a fan donning an Ohio State pullover, the Buckeye started explaining how much it was costing him for this college football adventure that would have him meeting up with four of his friends a little later than expected, thanks to a three-hour delay in the Music City. How much was this Airbnb that would become their Buckeye fortress over the next three days? "In all, it was around $22,000 for the entire house," the Ohio State fan told me while sitting in the 23rd row of a Southwest airline flight. "Add on another $3,000 for tickets, and we darn sure better be headed home with a win." He was only half-kidding, most likely questioning his financial decisions if Ohio State left Texas with a loss, or somehow the ridiculously expensive housing turned into a nightmare. I will say, judging by the rentals I then had to look up on the site following his oddly truthful explanation of expenditures, his group would at least have a nice Alaska king to sleep on over these next three days. I'll enjoy my sleep at the $237 a night hotel that the company luckily procured through some fantastic booking tactics on my part. Think of the party scene in this town as a tamed Bourbon Street, though I did my best to stay away from the raucous environment that I was told was coming after the 11 p.m. CT hour on both nights. Sorry, I'm at the age where the body starts shutting down around 8 p.m., and my brain had already hit a wall around two hours earlier. I just can't keep up with these kids nowadays, and I have zero shame in admitting that. But, from the bustling music to the strong smell of marijuana pumping from the streets, it was pretty obvious as to why this town is such a tourist attraction. The restaurants were one of a kind, though we usually don't give out free advertisements around here.

No, don't hit your mom, it's just a phrase us southerners use when describing a stellar food choice. There had to be a stop at Terry Black's BBQ, where we were joined by a plethora of Ohio State fans who had made the trip to Austin. Some of them must have came straight from the airport, carrying their luggage into the local establishment, which is also known as a BBQ cathedral. But, past all of the love of pork and ribs, the distaste for their opponents wasn’t hard to find. That even included the 'team up north', according to a few Buckeyes. "F--- Michigan," one Ohio State fan yelled through the sweet haze of BBQ smoke. It certainly doesn’t get much bigger than this, especially for an early season game. Arch Manning versus Julian Sayin. Jeremiah Smith on one side, Cam Coleman on the other. A Texas defense looking to create its own noise versus an Ohio State offense, that are both talented enough to help each team play for a national championship. For an entire year, we've waited on this rematch in Austin. We all know that both squads have spent the money needed to field a championship-winning team. Now, it's time to prove it on the field, with over 100,000 fans watching inside DKR Stadium, and millions tuning in at home. It's the Longhorns vs. the Buckeyes. The SEC versus the Big Ten. We are in for a show tonight in Texas, with plenty of college football fans wondering if Arch Manning can take the next step in this journey to have fans proclaim 'Texas Is Back'. Obviously, we've got a long way to go in the 2026 season, but tonight we see just how good each one of these contenders really are. Or, maybe we leave Austin with one team looking like a pretender. Either way, the BBQ was delightful.

Here at OutKick, I like to spend my Saturdays A) talking about college football, but B) giving the high school fellas some shine. I love high school football. I believe it's the backbone of America. You can tell a lot about a town based on the size and location of the local high school football stadium. Is it smack-dab in the middle of town? Can it seat more than 10,000? Do the streets get so clogged on game nights they have cops out directing traffic? FLORIDA HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME DELIVERS ONE OF THE MOST STUNNING HAIL MARYS OF ALL TIME If the answer to any of those is 'yes,' you're in a great town. It's all I need to know. Salt of the earth people. My people. Anyway, back to David Gabriel Georges. This is the second time I've featured the senior running back this season, and for good reason. He's an absolute monster. He went viral in Baylor School's season-opening game against Brentwood, and he made more noise in last night's win over Louisville Trinity. And by "made more noise," I mean the future Volunteer ran for 316 yards and five touchdowns, and hit more than 21 MPH on one particular touchdown run that left fans speechless.

Sometimes, you can just see when someone has it. I believe you're seeing that this season with David Gabriel Georges. He's a 5-star running back on the same team in which Peyton Manning's son is a backup, and is seemingly impossible to take down. Somehow, he's only ranked No. 2 in the country at running back. Nonsense. Like most rankings, that's hogwash. Don't see how that's even possible. Earlier this year, folks on the internet compared him to Derrick Henry during his dominant tenure at Yulee High School down here in Florida. STAY "FEARLESS" ON THE GO! TAKE TOMI LAHREN WITH YOU.

I’ve always enjoyed betting on it, and usually I find really nice opportunities early in the season, but I was awful last week. The good news is that I have plenty of weeks to dig myself out of the hole I built, but the bad news is that it happened at all. Today, I have a play for this match between Alabama and Kentucky. Alabama is one of those schools that is synonymous with College Football. They haven’t been at the top of the nation in a few years, but they are still a tough team with plenty of talent. They started their season with a strong victory over East Carolina University. They won 48-10 with very little struggle to get things going. It was a good sign for a team looking to adjust to Keelon Russell being under center full time. Russell looked great in his first game this season, even if he wasn’t all that accurate with his throws. Perhaps that is something to watch over the next few games. The Alabama quarterback threw 30 times and only completed 18 of his passes. He did run 13 times for 86 yards and a touchdown. The ground game was strong for Alabama in this one, so Russell also didn’t need to be overly accurate. They ran the ball 49 times for 227 yards and five touchdowns. Kentucky also opened their season with a rather inferior opponent. They faced the Youngstown State Penguins and blew them out 45-13. It was actually a bit of a surprise that they allowed 13 points to their opponent, and not all of it was in garbage time. The story of this game was really not about the Wildcats' defense; it was about how good the offense looked in their first game. Putting up 45 is a good number to hang on your opponent, but how they did it was most impressive. STAY "FEARLESS" ON THE GO! TAKE TOMI LAHREN WITH YOU. DOWNLOAD THE TLIF PODCAST NOW! The Wildcats turned the ball over to Kenny Minchey, who made his debut. Minchey was 18-for-27 with 301 passing yards and four touchdowns. He also showed that he can run if he needs to, getting 17 yards on his one rush attempt. The rest of the backfield did a solid job, rushing for 188 yards on 33 carries and two touchdowns. Sure, it was against a bad team, but they still did a good job of taking advantage of the opportunity presented to them. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! This one should be a pretty fun game to watch. I think both teams are still going to focus on getting their offenses rolling instead of putting up defensive stops. Obviously neither team will willingly give up points, but I don’t think they have much of an option here. I’m going to back the over 48.5 in this one. I think you can play this up to over 50.5.

Get some fresh air with your 12-hour marathons. Get out of the basements. At the very least, go to the garage and tinker while the games are on. Let's go to Los Angeles this morning where this absolute s--- show popped up in my Instagram algorithm from one of those new immersive experience theaters where fans are watching games. I've covered a ton of fan fights during my 19-year (soon to be 20-year) Internet career and this is the very first fan brawl I've witnessed inside a Cosm (that's what these places are called) theater. GIANTS QB & INTERNET STAR GIRLFRIEND ARE RELAXED HEADING INTO CRUCIAL YEAR, FSU DISASTER & MORE LSU FAN FIGHTS According to the guy who posted this on social media, "The GUY with the white T-shirt (49er fan) is the one who started the whole argument. He’s the one that was calling out all the LA Rams names back-and-forth the GUY without a T-shirt (LA Rams fan) AND that’s how you take down a 40 Whiner fan." Again, that's just what the eyewitness reports. Take it with a grain of salt. Guys, we've officially crossed a divide. There have been fights at Buffalo Wild Wings for years. We've seen fights in basic dive bars. All of that is common. We've never seen anything like this at a Cosm where tables can go upwards of $1,800 for popular events.

Sure, these games between obscure schools and powerhouses get some excitement for the random school, and money coming into them. As far as watching, it is kind of boring seeing a team win games by 40 points. I want to see ranked matchups early on – if we have expanded playoffs, teams should be forced to play tougher games to start their year. It means the regular season is actually meaningful and that if a team does go undefeated, they’ve been challenged. If Notre Dame goes undefeated, we will look at maybe two games this year and be impressed. However, if you have teams like Ohio State and Texas facing each other early in the year, and throughout the season, and one goes undefeated, it is much more impressive. Ohio State comes in as the top-ranked team in the country. The Buckeyes looked every bit of it in their season opener as they dominated Ball State with a 56-3 victory. Ohio State looked great on offense, with an extremely efficient Julian Sayin throwing for 320 yards on 21 of 25 passes with three touchdowns. Even both of his backups were solid, both going 5-for-6 with over 50 yards and a touchdown. This wasn’t exactly a challenging game for the team. Ohio State now needs to figure out how to beat a Texas defense that is one of the better in the nation. It will be a good challenge after last year’s battle the two teams had. Ohio State looked great in basically every game last year, but scored only 14 against the Longhorns last season. Sayin had only 126 passing yards in that game, the fewest of the entire season. Texas enters today’s game as the fourth-ranked team in the nation, and once again has high expectations. Those expectations will be tested early in the season, just as they were last year. In 2025, Texas had to travel to Ohio State for the first game of the season. They put up a respectable fight, but the offense got very little going in that one, with just seven points. Arch Manning looked very uncomfortable under center, completing just over 50% of his passes for 170 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. SIGN UP TO GET THE LATEST SPORTS NEWS The Longhorns had a different start this season with an easy win over Texas State. I was wrong about this game, as I expected Texas to take its foot off the gas. The Longhorns somewhat did, scoring just 10 points in the final quarter and taking Manning out in the third, but they had too many points already to keep the under in play. Manning looked much better in this game with 305 yards, four touchdowns, and completing 20 of 27 passes. He did have an interception, though. STAY "FEARLESS" ON THE GO! TAKE TOMI LAHREN WITH YOU.

The Longhorns can’t be taken seriously if they continue to lose to the best teams in the country. They have one of the tougher schedules in the country, and this is the start of it. The line opened as a pick’em, and the Longhorns have become the favorite. Ohio State has lost a lot of defensive players since the last time the two teams have met. I think it is justifiable to take the Longhorns here, and I’m going to ride with the home team and the one that needs revenge. Give me Texas.

Nope. I'm talking about the rivalry game formerly known as the Border War between Kansas and Missouri. Nothing like some good, old fashioned college football pettiness to get us started this weekend! For those who missed it, Kansas trolled Missouri via social media with a hype video before Friday's showdown with their longtime rival. It was your typical video — music, cool highlights, some corny voiceover. The works. KANSAS RENEWS BORDER WAR RIVALRY WITH MISSOURI BY CALLING TIGERS 'EVIL,' INVOKING SLAVERY IMAGERY But this one had one extra element that nobody saw coming — depictions of slavery and the Civil War! That's right. Some intern on the Jayhawks' social media team decided to use the fact that Missouri was on the side of slavery during the Civil War as a focal point of the video, which, naturally, went mega-viral. Take a look: Amazing. Poor taste? Perhaps. Just a bit. But still, amazing. Over 12,000 reposts and 34 million views. Bad PR is still good PR, you know? Or something like that. Bold move by whoever green-lit that little number. Casting themselves as the righteous "heroes" and Missouri as the "villains," complete with Civil War newspaper clippings and a cameos by Abolitionist John Brown and "Bushwacker" leader William Quantrill was certainly a choice by whoever put that video together. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Personally, I don't get offended by things that happened well over a century ago. None of us were alive back then. Why get so worked up over something so arbitrary? Seems like a waste of energy to me. It's a rivalry game. That's me, though. Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz took it ... a little more personal: "I was a little disappointed," the Tigers' head coach said. "I thought that was uncalled for. Especially on 9/11 when we need more unity now than ever before. I'm just glad that this 'right versus wrong' bullcrap that was started got settled on the football field, because it's a football game. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE "I get there’s a past. But why are we stirring that bullcrap up? I was embarrassed for them, to be honest, and that’s why I tried to embarrass them at the end." Lordy. Missouri won, 38-21, in a game that was tied at halftime but got away from Kansas in the second half. The Tigers scored a touchdown on fourth down late in the final quarter already up by 10, and then got the ball back with 28 seconds left after Kansas turned it over on downs. Instead of taking a knee and running out the clock, Mizzou backup QB Matt Zollers dropped back to pass and threw it incomplete into the end zone. The TIgers did end up running on the next play to end the game, but the message was sent. And, according to Drinkwitz, it was intentional ... all because of a silly social media video. Whatever you need to get those juices flowing, though. Rivalry games in college football are different. It's why we love this sport. Let's hope this one continues. ""I mean, if they’re gonna be weird about, what’s the point?" Drinkwitz said after the win. "If they wanna have a football game and have a great rivalry on the border, awesome let’s do it. But, if we wanna make it deeper than that man. "Like, we left Kansas bleeding again. Call it good" Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aa54f3375342cf4db8582be OutKick's Craig Carton reveals the real reason Nike stock is in the tank: 'They're failing miserably' te 2026-09-12T13:10:11.079Z OutKick's Craig Carton reveals the real reason Nike stock is in the tank: 'They're failing miserably' In case you've been living under a rock these past few days, Nike has had a rough time this week. Between the unveiling of their universally reviled "Specter Edition" NBA jerseys to their stock taking a nosedive, the company that was once seen as unsinkable is starting to take on water. Things have gotten so bad for Nike that they're set to be booted from the S&P 100, a sign that the company is trending in the wrong direction. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! OutKick's Craig Carton, a self-admitted "Nike man," thinks he knows what the issue is, and if you've been paying attention, it shouldn't come as a shock to you. "This is part of the problem right here," Carton says as he points at a picture of the aforementioned Specter Edition jerseys. "Nike decided, apparently, to hire a blind creator to basically pull a Jackson Pollock and just start ramming paint at the wall." If you've seen the jerseys, Carton is spot on. I've likened them to a Windows screensaver from the 90s that has been ripped from a dying computer monitor, but Jackson Pollock is a solid pull as well. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! "Part of the reason for Nike's downfall is garbage like this," he explains. But, as Carton alludes to, it's only part of the problem. The other half of the issue is more historical. "In 2018, Nike decided to get in bed with Colin Kaepernick," Carton recounts. "And they scrapped 'Just Do It' and they started a new slogan, which was 'Dream Crazy.'" "The only thing crazy that they did was partner with a lunatic who hates America." Carton's point is well received, and anyone who had any sort of foresight could have predicted that once the "woke" fad — which is all it was in the first place — died down, it would no longer be trendy to partner with these characters from the lunatic fringe. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Nike did so anyway, and now the proverbial chickens have come home to roost. It doesn't stop there, though, as Carton continues to explain Nike's follies, citing their pulling of the Betsy Ross Edition shoes in 2019 per Kaepernick's request. Then, in 2020, a slogan change from "Just Do It" to "Don't Do It" in the wake of the George Floyd protests further sealed the fate of the athletic apparel giant. "So the slogan that made Nike popular... they decided to do the exact opposite by starting a new slogan," says Carton. Finally, in 2023, Nike made the same mistake Bud Light made by deciding to partner with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney, destroying a decades-long campaign with Brandi Chastain as the centerpiece of their sports bra ads. "They made Dylan Mulvaney the face of their sports bra program," Carton explained. "They took this amazing, unique moment in the history of women's sports, and they bastardized it by bringing it to a transgender woman." Carton is, of course, referring to the moment in the 1999 Women's World Cup, when Chastain scored the game-winning goal in the Cup Final and removed her jersey to reveal she was wearing a Nike sports bra. If anyone in the marketing offices at Nike is still confused as to why their stock keeps plummeting, send them this clip. History class is in session, and Professor Carton is being generous enough to give you the answers to the midterm.

Some high-profile couples, including Democratic strategist James Carville and his wife, Republican political consultant Mary Matalin, have remained together despite their differing views – but experts say navigating those differences isn't always easy. Dr. Anna Elton, a licensed marriage and family therapist and clinical sexologist in Massachusetts, said she has counseled couples on different sides of the political aisle. 'QUIET QUITTING' COULD SILENTLY DESTROY YOUR MARRIAGE – 4 WAYS TO BRING THE SPARK BACK "A lot of couples come in and they want to work on communication, and politics can come up in our sessions," Elton, author of "The Formula of Desire," told Fox News Digital. "I work with a number of couples who are in this place where they have a family, they have kids, but they can't talk about politics." For many singles, Elton said, political compatibility is now something they consider early in the dating process. WHY COUPLES SHOULD FLIRT WITH EACH OTHER EVERY DAY – PLUS THE 'RED FLAG' TO AVOID She referenced a recent study that found younger adults tend to make assumptions about religion, gender roles, empathy and other characteristics based on political affiliation. "So, before you get to know the person, you’ve already created this assumption of who this person is." "I've definitely been hearing from my younger clients who are saying, ‘I want to know which political party this person belongs to, and then I'll see if I want to even be going on a date and wasting my time with this person.’" COMMON MARRIAGE HABIT COULD QUIETLY KILL YOUR SEX LIFE, EXPERT WARNS For couples who have been married for decades, today's political divisions may present challenges that didn't exist when their relationships began, Elton noted. The expert offered the following three tips for navigating politically charged conversations with a partner in a healthy way. Come up with rules for the conversation and set the tone before it starts, Elton suggested, noting that the first three minutes of a discussion typically predict the outcome. Conversations that begin with a harsh tone or accusatory language are unlikely to be productive, she said. "So, before you talk, say, ‘Okay, these are our boundaries for this conversation.’" Those boundaries can also extend to media habits, Elton said, including limiting how much political content couples consume, especially on social media. "You read certain things and then all of a sudden, you keep scrolling on your social media and you see similar content coming up over and over and over again," Elton said. "And at this point, it creates an illusionary effect." HOW OFTEN ARE MARRIED PEOPLE HAVING SEX? WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE INTIMACY STANDARD IN AMERICA Hearing the same information repeatedly may lead people to gradually accept it as true, according to Elton. "Now think about two people who are in their echo chambers, and they're exposed to certain information that is contradicting each other." As a general rule, Elton said couples should be mindful not to spend more time on their phones than they do engaging with each other. Excessive screen time can reduce face-to-face connection, leaving less room for eye contact, conversation and other shared experiences. Also, when someone is constantly consuming political content, it can become the primary topic they want to discuss, creating tension when partners hold different views, she cautioned. To help reduce conflict, Elton recommended limiting when political news or posts are consumed. She also suggested setting aside one phone-free date night each week to encourage face-to-face connection. While couples with differing political views are unlikely to agree on every issue, "agreeing to disagree" can help prevent hostility. "We can still love each other," Elton said. "It's not going to affect our relationship." "As soon as it gets to the point of seeing your partner through the lens of ‘if you believe this, this is who you are, and I can’t believe that I'm still in a relationship with you,’ that becomes a problem." Elton urged couples not to take political disagreements personally and instead approach them with curiosity. She also recommended looking at the same information together, allowing each partner to ask questions and draw their own conclusions rather than jumping into a heated debate. CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES The therapist also encouraged couples to focus on areas of common ground rather than viewing disagreements in black-and-white terms. After a disagreement or failure to compromise, it’s important to always reconnect with your partner, she emphasized. Sharing reassuring words like "I love you" and "you matter to me more than anything else" can be helpful, she said. "I feel like you always need to say, ‘Hey, I hear what you're saying, but I'm not agreeing, and that's okay.’" When politics come into play in a relationship, it can have an impact on more than just the couple. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER Elton encouraged partners to consider how sharing certain opinions can impact other loved ones, especially if one person confides in a family member or friend about the other's views. "You can create this triangulation where you're connecting with someone against your partner, and you don't want that," she warned. "Talk to your therapist, vent to your therapist … because if you start venting to your family and friends, then they start forming certain opinions about your partner, and it can affect how they talk to them, how they interact with them." Before making any drastic decisions, such as ending a relationship over political discord, Elton suggested slowing down and returning to a more grounded state. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ "We hear certain things and we fill in the gaps," she said. "When we hear someone's political affiliation, we often make assumptions about who they are without really hearing them out." Rather than making assumptions based on the media or podcasts a partner consumes, for example, Elton encouraged couples to ask questions, stay curious and remain open-minded.

Standing alone in the quiet, dimly lit gallery, mere inches from a sepia-colored sketch of a human face composed of several dozen perfectly placed wavy lines, I knew without a doubt I was in the presence of pure genius. After years of being an atheist for whom science was god and the cosmos was a miraculous accident, I now know with equal certainty our universe, too, is a work of pure genius. Why is that? 'MILESTONE': SCIENTISTS CLAIM TO BUILD SYNTHETIC CELL, RAISING CONCERNS IN STEP TOWARD ARTIFICIAL LIFE In 1973, scientists from around the world gathered in Kraków, Poland, to celebrate the 500th birthday of Nicolaus Copernicus. Part of the conference concerned a fifty-year-old unsolved mystery called the "large-number coincidences." The numerical values of natural phenomena large and small – the radius of the observable universe, the charge of an electron, the strength of gravity, and so forth – follow a pattern hard to dismiss as mere coincidence. What could possibly explain this? METEORITE THAT CRASHED INTO NJ HOME HOLDS BUILDING BLOCKS OF LIFE, SCIENTISTS SAY Australian physicist Brandon Carter stood before the August gathering and offered a provocative observation that came to be called the Anthropic Principle. The special numerical "coincidences," he said, are inexorably linked to the one thing that makes our universe special: we and our fellow lifeforms. Without life, the universe would be an unremarkable ghost town. Carter’s presentation ignited the explosive birth of a brand-new science dedicated to fully answering the fifty-year-old mystery: Is it mere coincidence our universe has just the right numerical composition for life to be possible — especially life as complex as humans — or is there more to it than that? SCIENTISTS REVIVE ANCIENT 24,000-YEAR-OLD ‘ZOMBIE WORM’ FROM ARCTIC ICE — THEN IT REPRODUCED Think of when you get your annual physical. The nurse measures your four core vital signs — body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate — which yield a pattern of numbers that reveals important information about your insides. The universe’s numerical profile serves the same purpose: it tells us something essential about the inner being of the cosmos. And what it tells us, after decades of careful examination involving increasingly precise astronomical observations, laboratory experiments, and theoretical calculations, is that our universe is not merely a coincidence. Far from it. "I find it quite improbable that such order came out of chaos," stated the late American cosmologist and former atheist Allan Sandage. "There has to be some organizing principle." COULD NOAH'S ARK REMAINS BE BURIED IN TURKEY? NEW FINDINGS REVIVE AGE-OLD DEBATE British astronomer Sir Fred Hoyle, whom I had the honor of getting to know as a grad student at Cornell, concurred: "A commonsense interpretation of the facts suggests that a super-intellect has monkeyed with physics … and that there are no blind forces worth speaking about in nature. The numbers one calculates from the facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost beyond question." This startling revelation does not set well with atheists, who twist themselves into knots trying to defend the belief that everything — life and all — is but a happy accident, courtesy of purposeless laws of nature. The problem they have is explaining where those supposedly blind natural agents came from. Another valiant attempt to rescue the naturalistic worldview is the multiverse hypothesis. If there are an infinite number of universes, then it is no surprise at least one of them — ours — is tailor-made for life. But many decades of seeking ways to test this fantastic idea have failed. That’s because parallel universes are in principle isolated from one another and therefore beyond the reach of our observations. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION "The idea that we live in a multiverse is a fringe idea in a small part of a subfield of the physics community," says German theoretical physicist Sabine Hossenfelder. "Nobody who does serious science works with the multiverse because it’s utterly useless." So, then, we all now face this burning question screaming for an answer: If our universe is not a coincidence, how do we explain it? AMERICA ISN’T DONE WITH JESUS — AND THE BESTSELLER LIST JUST PROVED IT For me, the answer goes back to that unforgettable day at the Getty. As I stood there, seized by the ineffable beauty of Leonardo da Vinci’s exquisite sketch, it never would have occurred to me to entertain the notion that it was an accident. Today, likewise, when I contemplate life, the night sky, and the precision and improbability of the vital signs that define the essence of our cosmos, my reaction is crystal-clear and supported by the latest scientific evidence. In both the outer and inner being of the universe, I perceive not the throw of dice, but the hand of a Master Artist. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aa54f3075342cf4db8582a3 El-Sayed’s ISNA appearance draws scrutiny over controversial speakers te 2026-09-12T13:10:08.995Z El-Sayed’s ISNA appearance draws scrutiny over controversial speakers Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is facing questions about his appearance at an Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) convention after the organization removed a Pakistani cleric from its lineup following scrutiny of his past remarks about Hitler, Jews and jihad. Mufti Tariq Masood had been scheduled to speak at ISNA's annual convention last week in Detroit alongside El-Sayed. The Washington Free Beacon first reported that ISNA had quietly pulled Masood from its list of speakers last month. This came after his past comments, including remarks appearing to praise Hitler's persecution of the Jews and defending child marriage, sparked backlash against ISNA. Dr. Andrew Bostom, who reviewed one of Masood's sermons, told Fox News Digital that the cleric "basically said that the Quran had foreshadowed Hitler 1,400 years ago." FATWAS, HOLY WARS AND SOCIALISM: INSIDE THE ISLAMIC CONFERENCE WHERE EL-SAYED DREW A HERO’S WELCOME Bostom said that Masood's remarks should not be looked at in isolation, but rather within a larger pattern of antisemitic themes that have appeared in writings of some Muslim scholars. He cited Muhammad Sayyid Tantawy, the late Grand Imam of Al-Azhar University in Egypt, who he said was "the near papal equivalent for Sunni Islam," in terms of his influence. The controversy over Masood prompted the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) to ask Secretary of State Marco Rubio to deny or review any visa issued to the cleric. "Masood is a racist, Jew-hate-mongering, anti-American, anti-British, conspiracy-promoting, murder- and terror-inciter. Masood even praises Hitler’s genocide of Jews as doing the right thing, similar to the Quran’s instructions," ZOA National President Morton Klein wrote in his Aug. 19 letter to Rubio. At the time, Bostom said it was unclear whether Masood had already entered the U.S. or still planned to attend the convention, even if he had been removed from the list of speakers. TIM SCOTT GOES SCORCHED EARTH ON EL-SAYED: 'HE'S FOR HAMAS, BUT HE'S AGAINST AMERICA' While Masood ultimately did not speak at the convention, his removal from the lineup did not resolve questions about the event's speakers or El-Sayed's decision to participate. At the conference, El-Sayed appeared on a panel with far-left Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur and controversial New Jersey-based cleric Zaid Shakir, according to ISNA's itinerary. The panel was titled "Cultivating God Awareness in a Turmoiled America." In the description of the panel, ISNA said the session was aimed at turning taqwa, which means God-Awareness, "into actionable guidance, equipping participants not merely to survive but thrive in workplaces, schools, digital spaces, and community life, and to succeed on their own terms." CBS CHIEF BARI WEISS' INVOLVEMENT IN VIRAL EL-SAYED REPORT SPARKS DEBATE AMONG CRITICS Neither Uygur nor Shakir are strangers to controversy. In February, Uygur wrote on X that "I no longer believe the official 9/11 story." Uygur said that those who would be outraged by his statement had been "brainwashed by corporate media." Shakir has described himself as "extremely anti-American," according to The Washington Free Beacon. The outlet also reported that in 1992, Shakir urged Muslims to embrace "extrasystemic political action," including "noncooperation tactics to guerrilla war" to influence government policies. The ISNA conference took place just days before the 25th anniversary of 9/11, making Uygur and Shakir's presence, and El-Sayed's participation, all the more notable. El-Sayed faced his own 9/11 controversy earlier this week over now-deleted tweets from 2021 in which he said he mourned the lives lost in the attacks before taking a swipe at America, according to The New York Post. "Today, I mourn the 3K lives, 6K injuries, & infrastructural devastation in NYC, perpetrated ignorantly in the name of my faith. Tomorrow, I’ll mourn ~1M lives, millions of injuries, & infrastructural devastation in 3 countries, perpetrated ignorantly in the name of my country," El-Sayed wrote on Sept. 11, 2021. CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE While addressing the ISNA conference, El-Sayed reportedly focused on anti-Muslim hate, according to the Post. "We found ourselves in a moment now where, as people point to us, Muslim Americans, they want to tell us that we don’t belong," El-Sayed said, according to the Post. "They want to tell us that this country is not ours. They want to tell us that because of our names or how we pray, that somehow we are less than," he added. El-Sayed previously faced scrutiny for campaigning alongside controversial Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, who is Uygur's nephew. Piker was criticized back in 2019 for saying that "America deserved 9/11." He later apologized and retracted the statement. El-Sayed has offered criticism of some of Piker's remarks but has yet to fully disavow him. Fox News Digital reached out to El-Sayed and ISNA for comment.

The case of Anthony Tyrone Higgs is only the latest in a slew of arrests connected to illegal votes cast in recent elections, as the Trump administration engages in a broader crackdown on election integrity-related crimes. "This alien was a guest in our country who forfeited his right to be in the U.S. when he committed these violent crimes and voted in the 2020 election," White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis exclusively told Fox News Digital on Friday.

DHS also provided several other recent cases of illegal immigrants or ineligible voters committing or being charged with election-related crimes.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aa5412675342cf4db858004 What does ‘Never Forget’ mean for a generation with no memory of 9/11? te 2026-09-12T12:10:14.288Z What does ‘Never Forget’ mean for a generation with no memory of 9/11? Twenty-five years after a generation promised to "Never Forget," that pledge now relies on education for the more than 100 million Americans with no memory of 9/11/. The Pentagon is preparing to help address that challenge by breaking ground this weekend on a long-awaited Visitor Education Center at the only one of the three 9/11 attack sites still without a dedicated museum or education center. The new center is intended to fill the gap that has grown more pronounced with each passing year by helping Americans who never experienced the attacks understand not only what happened on Sept. 11, 2001, but why it continues to matter.  Joseph Kornhoff, executive director of the Pentagon Memorial Fund, told Fox News Digital that nearly one-third of the country was either not alive that day or has no recollection of it and therefore lacks the "personal connection" shared by those who watched the attacks unfold. NEW 9/11 MUSEUM EXHIBIT AIMS TO CONNECT YOUNGER AMERICANS TO THE ATTACKS THROUGH POWERFUL ARTIFACTS "That's what we're trying to provide with the visitor education center experience," Kornhoff said in an interview with Fox News Digital, explaining that the goal is to give visitors a personal connection that allows them to "start to understand the gravity of that day." Nearly 230 miles north, the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York is confronting the same generational divide. Beth Hillman, president and CEO of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, said the passage of time has only made the annual vow to "Never Forget" more important as the number of Americans with firsthand memories of the attacks declines. "Many in my generation remember exactly where we were on that horrific day," Hillman said during an Aug. 31 press preview outlining the museum's plans for the 25th anniversary. "Yet, 100 million Americans were not even born or are too young to remember that day for themselves today." BROOKLYN TEACHERS WHO WITNESSED 9/11 AS CHILDREN REVEAL WHAT THEY WANT THE NEXT GENERATION TO REMEMBER Noah Rauch, the museum’s senior vice president for education and public programs, said he has watched that transition unfold firsthand through the museum’s work with students and teachers. "I've seen this line creeping up between memory and history, between those who remembered the attacks and those who didn't," Rauch said during the Aug. 31 press event. That transition from memory to history also raises a more modern challenge. Americans too young to remember the attacks are increasingly learning about an event they never experienced firsthand, while conspiracy theories and false narratives about 9/11 run rampant online. Kornhoff said that makes factual education increasingly important, pointing specifically to conspiracy theories surrounding the attack on the Pentagon and narratives suggesting that America "deserved 9/11." "That's the need for the education center," Kornhoff told Fox News Digital. "As a nation, we need to really take a step back, look at how we're educating our young children to make sure that we're providing them with the facts of the situation ... and not these conspiracy theories and entertaining wild ideas that just simply are not true." REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK: 9/11 IS JUST A HISTORY CHAPTER FOR A NEW GENERATION OF AMERICANS The Pentagon center will include 10 exhibits telling the human stories of the attack, including the 184 people killed at the Pentagon and aboard American Airlines Flight 77, the first responders who rushed to the scene and the military and civilian personnel who aided the wounded. "We are going to address the facts of the day," Kornhoff said. "We are going to address the entire Pentagon story." The renewed focus on 9/11 education has also reached Capitol Hill. Reps. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., and Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., introduced bipartisan legislation ahead of the 25-year anniversary, which aims to direct the Department of Education to examine how 9/11 is taught in schools nationwide and identify gaps in instruction. Kornhoff praised the effort during his interview with Fox News Digital, saying the legislation reflects a growing recognition of the need to educate generations with no firsthand connection to the attacks. The Pentagon 9/11 Memorial Visitor Education Center is expected to open by the end of 2029 near the existing Pentagon 9/11 Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia. The project received $12 million in federal funding this year, along with $1 million from Virginia and additional private donations raised by the Pentagon Memorial Fund. Once completed, the center is expected to include interactive exhibits, historic artifacts and firsthand accounts from survivors and victims' families while providing visitors with additional context about the attack and its aftermath.

"Maybe a couple left, you know," Neeson told Fox News Digital when asked if he’ll transition away from action films in the near future. "Maybe … I hope I have a couple left." WILLIAM SHATNER SAYS HE'S 'TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS' AT 95: 'THE LEAST OF ALL I WANT DO IS DIE' The "Taken" star joked to Variety last year that he didn’t want to be doing stunts while pushing a walker. His newest action flick, "The Fix," in which he plays an ex-CIA operative alongside Zachary Levi, hit theaters Friday. In "The Fix," Neeson said, "There's this incredible thread of humanity that these men, these extraordinary men, have to eventually analyze or work out what makes them tick." Levi said he "wanted to do something fun, gritty, darker, in comparison to other roles that I've played in the past, and this gave me that and then some, because there was all of the great spycraft and twists and turns and revelations throughout the story, as well as this human foundation." Neeson touched on the theme of redemption, which is explored in the film. "I'd like to think we all need and want second chances, you know," he told Fox News Digital. "We're humans. We've all made mistakes in our personal lives and stuff, you know? It's extraordinary to be forgiven, and it's an extraordinary thing to really forgive someone. It really is very, very special. So, you know, I'm 74 years of age. I've had quite a few things happen to me that several of which seriously I have been forgiven for, which is just amazing, and then I can return that." Levi compared a lack of forgiveness to "drinking poison, hoping that the other person will die." "Forgiveness is grace, mercy, understanding, empathy," he said. "These are things that we don't explore enough as human beings." The 46-year-old said that people are often encouraged to look at others as an "evil monster. And by the way, people do evil things. People do monstrous things. And yet, still, I believe that they are children of God. And yet, still, I believe they are worthy of second, third, fourth chances, right?" He explained that there needs to be boundaries, but a lack of forgiveness is "eating us alive as human beings, as a society, in this country and around the world because we're not able to just see the other as a child of God."

You want that because we all need redemption. We all need forgiveness." In the film, Levi plays another former CIA operative who is Neeson’s protégé, and he said it was a relief "that I was not wrong to want to meet one of my idols, you know, like everybody says 'don't meet your idols,' and I get it."

In laboratory experiments conducted in Japan, researchers found that the compound, called pterostilbene, reduced fat accumulation in cultured mouse muscle cells. Pterostilbene is a naturally occurring antioxidant found in blueberries, grapes and other types of berries. While previous research linked it to metabolic benefits, little was known about how it could affect skeletal muscle. POPULAR SUMMER FRUIT HAS AN EDIBLE PART MOST PEOPLE THROW AWAY, USDA REVEALS The new findings, published Sept. 1 in the journal Food Bioscience, suggest that pterostilbene reduced abnormal fat buildup by encouraging cells to break down fat already stored in the cells. Fat buildup can result from high-fat diets, inactivity and aging, according to a news release. Too much fat inside muscle cells can interfere with how the body uses glucose and fatty acids and may contribute to insulin resistance. "Our findings establish a scientific framework for developing functional foods and nutritional supplements that target muscle fat metabolism," lead researcher Takakazu Mitani, an associate professor at Shinshu University, said in a statement. SEAWEED-BASED COATING COULD KEEP STRAWBERRIES FRESH FOR DAYS WITHOUT REFRIGERATION, STUDY FINDS The team screened several food-derived compounds in the cells and found that pterostilbene caused the strongest reduction in fat accumulation without disrupting muscle growth. It appeared to preserve a protein, PPAR-delta, that helps regulate how cells process fat, according to the study. The research also provides an "experimental framework" for identifying other natural compounds that protect PPAR-delta, Mitani added. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ While the findings provide a starting point for studying dietary approaches that could one day help address obesity, type 2 diabetes and age-related metabolic decline, future studies in humans and animals are needed to determine whether the effect translates beyond lab-grown cells. Using a cell model "strips away the complexity of human metabolism," Johannah Katz, a registered dietitian from Florida, told Fox News Digital.  "In people, pterostilbene has to be digested, absorbed, metabolized, circulated and actually reach muscle tissue at an effective dose," she said. "We also can't assume mouse muscle cells will respond exactly like human muscle." CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE NEWS While the study identified a potential mechanism that may help explain reduced fat accumulation in cells, that is different from showing that eating blueberries or taking pterostilbene supplements directly leads to fat loss, Katz added. "Blueberries and grapes are nutritious foods for many reasons, but this study alone doesn't show that eating more of them will reduce fat buildup in human muscle," she said. Fox News Digital reached out to the study authors for comment.

Indeed, according to RealClearPolitics polling averages, Democratic Senate candidates lead in North Carolina (+8%), Minnesota (+4%), Texas (+3%), Ohio (+3%), as well as Michigan, Maine, and Alaska (+2% each). Moreover, with President Trump’s approval rating hovering just below 40%, it’s legitimate to ask whether his sagging approval numbers will drag down Republican candidates across the country. 12 RACES SCRAMBLE SENATE BATTLEFIELD AS DEMOCRATS EYE COMEBACK Needing to flip four seats — assuming no GOP pickups in Michigan, Minnesota, or Georgia — the Senate is well within striking distance for Democrats, according to the data. That being said, the midterms are not today, and roughly two months until Election Day is a considerable amount of time. In that same vein, the Democratic candidates in these races have a number of personal and party-wide vulnerabilities, so it is by no means clear that what may currently look possible — or even probable — will come to fruition. TRUMP'S APPROVAL RATING PLUMMETS TO NEW LOW AHEAD OF CRITICAL MIDTERMS: 'MORE WORK TO DO' I say this for a number of reasons. First, outside of North Carolina and Texas, in each state, the Democrats’ polling advantages are well within the margin of error. Voters tend to turn their attention to midterms only after the summer ends, so it is entirely conceivable that these numbers reflect high-frequency voters, which often benefits Democrats. Second, and perhaps more important, frustration with the Trump administration will only get Democrats so far — candidate quality remains a deciding factor for many moderates and swing voters. LEE CARTER: THE SUMMER POLLS MISSED THE POINT: VOTERS ARE MOVING — AND THE MIDTERMS BEGIN The success of candidates affiliated with, or members of, the Democratic Socialists of America has opened a lane for Republicans to paint all Democrats as out-of-touch, far-left extremists. In 2024, then-candidate Donald Trump effectively painted former Vice President Kamala Harris as too far left on hot-button social issues, and Democrats have only moved further left since. DEMOCRATIC INFIGHTING GROWS AS CONGRESSWOMAN EXPOSES ‘DISRESPECTFUL’ WELCOME OF SOCIALISTS INTO ‘BIG TENT’ On this, races in Texas, Michigan, and Maine in particular will be crucial to watch and may represent Republicans’ best hope of maintaining control of the upper chamber. As I’ve noted previously in these pages, the Democrats in those races — James Talarico, Abdul El-Sayed, and Troy Jackson, respectively — are so far to the political left that it’s easy to see how voters could be turned off. SENATE MAP TIGHTENS AS TOP FORECASTER MOVES 3 RACES TOWARD DEMOCRATS Whether it’s Talarico’s past support for transgender women competing against biological girls in sports, El-Sayed’s anti-American statements, his rabid anti-Israel positions, his association with far-left Twitch influencer Hasan Piker, or Jackson’s history of flip-flopping and other controversies, these are flawed candidates. To that end, as these campaigns kick off in earnest, Republicans are all but certain to remind voters of their opponents’ far-left progressive positions on a number of issues. GOP SENATOR, EX-HOUSE DEM EMERGE FROM ALASKA’S ‘JUNGLE PRIMARY’ DESPITE FAR-LEFT MEDDLING Even when the Democrat is not a progressive, such as in Alaska, where Mary Peltola is a moderate Blue Dog Democrat, Republicans may be able to tie all Democrats to the DSA. That’s been Republican Dan Sullivan’s strategy, framing a vote for Peltola as a vote for a Senate hostile to the state’s energy sector — a vital local issue — despite Peltola’s record of supporting drilling. Third, on a basic level, Democrats’ task is made more difficult by needing to secure 51 seats given Vice President JD Vance’s tiebreaking vote and the possibility that Sen. John Fetterman could switch parties. He has repeatedly denied any intention of doing so, though his video appearance at the GOP convention in Dallas on Wednesday did nothing to quell rumors or speculation. Finally, Republicans have a sizable cash advantage. In recent filings, the Republican National Committee reported $128.5 million in cash on hand, versus $16.3 million for the DNC. FORMER DSA MEMBER ALLEGES COMMUNISTS HAVE ‘CAPTURED’ SOCIALIST GROUP, WARNS DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS NEXT Additionally, across the three major Republican committees and two affiliated super PACs, Republicans reported $657 million — nearly double the $334 million held by comparable Democratic groups. President Trump’s super PAC alone has more than $400 million. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION Ultimately, Democrats have a genuine chance to retake the Senate, a remarkable achievement just two years after their 2024 across-the-board defeat. The 2026 Senate map had been considered favorable to Republicans, but, according to the polls, it’s Democrats who have the momentum. That Democratic candidates would be leading in Senate races in states like Alaska and Texas would have been inconceivable not long ago. However, the midterms are by no means a foregone conclusion, and a polling lead two months before Election Day is not the same as winning the election. Democrats’ razor-thin margins in the majority of the states they need, lingering concerns over candidate quality and the DSA’s impact, as well as Republicans’ massive financial advantage, mean it is by no means clear that the Senate will flip.

"We are introducing a bill today, sponsored by Councilmember Banks that will make reforms to press credentials to solve the problem of the Luigi Mangione fangirl, if you will," City Council Speaker Julie Menin told FOX 5 New York's "Good Day New York" Thursday morning. "These fangirls, who are not journalists, are showing up at the trial with press credentials that the City of New York is giving to them." A trio of Mangione supporters drew national attention in May after showing off their city-issued press passes to the New York Post outside the courthouse on the day of one of the assassin's hearings.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aa5331075342cf4db857cc6 Why Erika Kirk’s forgiveness matters te 2026-09-12T11:10:08.119Z Why Erika Kirk’s forgiveness matters Author William P. Young’s new book "Return to the Shack" centers on the power of forgiveness, and he praised Erika Kirk for presenting a strong display of it last year. Young’s novel "The Shack" tells the story of a father’s healing process after his daughter was kidnapped and killed on a camping trip. The grieving dad, Mack, receives a mysterious letter from God asking him to come to a shack, where he meets an unorthodox Holy Trinity. While considered controversial by some religious readers, the story largely resonated with audiences and was turned into a motion picture in 2017.  Young's sequel focuses on forgiveness as Mack comes face-to-face with his daughter’s killer as he is given a more humanized storyline. "I think we need to make a distinction between forgiveness and reconciliation," Young told Fox News Digital. "Forgiveness is for the sake of the one who's been harmed, so that you can continue to live your life without the specter of what's on your shoulders. And I mean, you can forgive someone and never trust them again. Reconciliation is the slow, arduous, painful process of learning how to trust. Or taking the risk that you might become trustworthy if you've done the harm. So, reconciliation is for the sake of the perpetrator, much more than forgiveness is." ‘THE SHACK’ AUTHOR EXPECTS MORE CHRISTIAN CRITICISM WITH SEQUEL, BUT WILL TAKE IT IN STRIDE Making peace is essential, he said. "Otherwise, you're going to live with a corpse of an event or a situation or some human being who may be dead," he continued. "A lot of abuse was done to us by people who no longer are alive. And if we can't let them go, which is the idea of forgiveness, is that we move our hands from around their throat so that we may hold something other than their throat, like life. And it becomes essential. Otherwise, we're poisoning all the relationships around us." Erika Kirk, the widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, shocked many Americans when she publicly forgave the man accused of assassinating her husband last year. Kirk was killed while speaking at a Turning Point USA event one year ago at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.  "Our Savior said, 'Father, forgive them, for they not know what they do,'" Erika said at her husband's memorial service. "That young man … I forgive him. I forgive him because it was what Christ did, and it's what Charlie would do." Young found it a very powerful example of the message he’s trying to convey. ERIKA KIRK FORGIVES HUSBAND'S KILLER AT MEMORIAL SERVICE: ‘IT’S WHAT CHARLIE WOULD DO' "And I think that's what Erika was doing, saying, ‘I'm not going to let what you have done to own me,'" the author said. "I'm not going to enter the same prison that you are now in,’ metaphorically, of course."  "And so, in terms of the human journey, we have this — same with every guy on death row — they don't have, in the deepest places of their heart, a desire to be harmful or to be non-truth tellers or to be unkind," Young continued. "They're human beings and that raises a question is why should that be the deepest places of movement towards a wholeness of what it means to be human by saying, ‘I want to do the work, what it takes to not be addicted. To be a truth-teller, to be someone who is kind and caring.’"  "And part of that is the underlying belief that love is actually more powerful than violence, or love is more powerful than harm," he added.  ERIKA KIRK URGES CONSERVATIVE STUDENTS NOT TO BACK DOWN IN FIRST SCHOOL YEAR SINCE CHARLIE'S ASSASSINATION ‘THE SHACK’ AUTHOR EXPECTS MORE CHRISTIAN CRITICISM WITH SEQUEL, BUT WILL TAKE IT IN STRIDE Young said that is often not the reality and not everyone takes the route Kirk took. "And we live in a world where it seems like violence is really the power," he said. "In word, thought, or deed, whether we're using it in words online, or we're perpetrating it to the person in front of us, or we're gossiping about someone in order to give ourselves a boost and them a detraction. Love is more powerful, and that's my statement. You know, that's, I'm solidly convinced that it is, because it actually changes things." Young couldn’t discuss the art of making amends without reflecting on his own years-long journey to forgive his father. "Violence doesn't change any things," he said. "It only adds to the violence that already exists. And, you know, my dad was an abusive man when I was growing up. And if I thought that treating him with violence was going to be a resolution, I would have been absolutely blind and ignorant." "It's not violence," Young added. "It's care. It's love. It's listening. It's that people shouldn't take a timeout, and the state offers one if you don't adhere to the rules. But even then, I think that love, God, meets us where we're at and begins to move us in a direction toward our wholeness so that we can learn to love others, and we can learn to love ourselves, and that produces incredible outcomes that would not be available otherwise." "Return to the Shack: A Journey into Redemption" will be released in October.

"I believed in anarchal communism, I was an atheist for a moment of my life, and I really believed in whatever the furthest left-leaning political stance one could possibly take, [even from] abortion all the way up until the point of giving birth," Furst told Fox News Digital. "I really just had a radical perspective change where now… I believe in biblical values and everything that entails and what that looks like," she continued. BLUE STATE SCHOOL DISTRICT ACCUSED OF DEFYING SUPREME COURT, HIDING GENDER TRANSITIONS FROM PARENTS Furst, who grew up in Alberta, Canada, which she described as "the most right-wing" and "conservative leaning" province within the country, detailed the "culture shock" she experienced within her own homeland. "Growing up in a Christian home and having gone to a private Christian school up until high school - first going into that Canadian public high school was very [much a] culture shock… Gender liberation, sexual liberation, [was] a huge topic of conversation at the time [and] what we call GSAs, that's Gay Straight Alliance clubs, within schools," she added. "It was very interesting going from a school where none of those things were discussed, and if they were discussed, it was from a healthy standpoint of, you know, this is what's age-appropriate to talk with teenagers about into a public school. Where [now] this [was] not only talked about in almost every class, but these conversations are had with adult teachers and underage students," Furst continued. PRISHA MOSELY: AS A DETRANSITIONER AND MOM, I KNOW WHAT GENDER IDEOLOGY STOLE FROM ME As for how this affected her life, she revealed that it led to "about five or six years" during which she "identified as a transgender man." "I was born a female… but for five or six years I presented as a male [and] took male hormones so that I could appear as a man. I had one transitional surgery and that looked [like] a hysterectomy, where they took my uterus and one of my ovaries," she said. Furst said that a coworker who read Romans 8:38 to her was the catalyst for her reignited faith in God that dismantled the worldview she once defended. Romans 8:38-39 reads, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." NEW STUDY REVEALS THE SINGLE MOST CRITICAL FACTOR IN WHETHER CHILDREN KEEP THEIR FAITH INTO ADULTHOOD "I had gone home and continued to wrestle with that and by myself alone in my bedroom I said…I'm just going to pray and see what happens, and I highly doubt that Jesus would still want me, but I'm going to do that anyway," Furst continued. "It was a slow heart work, but now I get to come as the woman that I am today, because it was [a] slow and steady journey of [my] relationship with Jesus," she relayed. Furst went on to detail her changed perspective on adults who "share about their sexual identity with children", citing that she is "very critical" of those who choose to have those conversations with those who are underage – especially since she claims early exposure to those conversations were "slowly manipulating her" into struggling with an identity that she never had before. Furst went on to detail her changed perspective on adults who "share about their sexual identity with children," saying she is "very critical" of those who choose to have those conversations with minors — especially since she said early exposure to those conversations was "slowly manipulating her" into struggling with an identity that she never had before. DOJ INVESTIGATES ILLINOIS SCHOOLS OVER SECRET GENDER TRANSITIONS, IDEOLOGY "As someone who had an early childhood where those conversations were very healthy and they were age-appropriate to then going into my teenage years where, at my public Canadian high school it was so talked about in such in-depth detail, you can very much see how that's actually damaging," Furst shared. "There is so much talk, way more talk with children about sexual identity than there ever was in past years where we're having conversations way younger than it needs to be. And I think that parents have [a] very interesting sort of situation now of, how do you navigate keeping your child innocent in a world that tells them the safest thing is for them to know about all these sexual things from a very young age," she stated. "If someone wants to be asking specific details about same-sex sexual actions, I don't think that is age-appropriate for a 13-year-old, 14-year-old. And I also really don't think that that conversation is meant to be had teacher to student. I think that should be reserved for families to decide how they want to approach those conversations and when it's most appropriate for those to be had," Furst said.

Nick Dargie, one of the jurors, told ABC News the holdout juror refused to explain how witness testimony helped prove his stance. "There was several times I would ask him to show us evidence or, you know, describe a witness testimony that helped to prove what he was saying, and ... he couldn't," Dargie said. "There wasn't a single piece of evidence or witness testimony that he used to prove why he was thinking the way he was, which is why we ultimately sent in that note."

Maloney is preparing a resolution calling on Trump, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and lawmakers on Capitol Hill to take steps to rename Lake Erie to "Lake Pennsylvania," arguing that the change is needed to reflect the lake’s modern identity. "This is Pennsylvania’s only Great Lake. Its modern economy and identity are increasingly tied to the boaters, anglers, families and tourists who come to enjoy it," Maloney said in a statement. "Ohio has plenty of shoreline. New York already has two Great Lakes. Canada has four others." NEW YORK GOV HOCHUL REJECTS TRUMP'S 'LAKE AMERICA' RENAMING WITH BLUNT MESSAGE "Pennsylvania has one. Let’s call it Lake Pennsylvania!" he added. Lake Erie is the smallest of the Great Lakes by volume as well as the shallowest, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. The lake has about 12 million people in its watershed, with 10.5 million people in the U.S. and 1.9 million people in Canada. This comes after Trump signed an executive order last month to rename Lake Ontario to "Lake America," a rebranding that Canada does not recognize and has firmly rejected. "We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario — then, now and always," Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said in a statement. SOUTH PARK CREATORS MOCK TRUMP'S LAKE ONTARIO RENAME AND COMPANY COMPLIANCE IN MOCK STATEMENT The renaming only applies to the U.S. federal government, meaning Canada, other international bodies and U.S. states are not forced to acknowledge the change. But both Apple Maps and Google Maps changed the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America" for U.S. users following Trump's executive order. The president has also suggested renaming New Mexico to "New America," prompting several of the state’s Democratic lawmakers to call on Apple and Google to publicly commit to keeping the state's current name on their respective maps applications. Trump has also floated the idea of renaming the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. On his first day back in office in January 2025, Trump signed an executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America," but, similar to the Lake Ontario rebranding, the order only applies to the U.S. federal government and does not bind Mexico, other international bodies or private entities. Apple Maps and Google Maps also adopted this change for users in the U.S., implementing the update using a region-based approach tailored to the location of the user's device.

The Joint Economic Committee released its latest Monthly Debt Update on September 8, showing the total gross national debt stood at $40.10 trillion as of September 3. That represents an increase of $2.67 trillion from approximately $37.43 trillion one year earlier and an increase of $11.68 trillion over the past five years. Of the current debt, approximately $32.42 trillion is held by the public, while another $7.68 trillion consists of intergovernmental debt. Over the past year, the national debt increased at an average rate of approximately $7.35 billion per day, $306.4 million per hour, $5.11 million per minute, and $85,112 per second. The committee calculated that the increase over the past year alone amounts to approximately $7,806 per person and $19,804 per household. The total national debt now equals approximately $117,279 per person or $297,522 per household. If the average daily rate of debt growth recorded over the past three years continues, the committee projects the national debt will reach $41 trillion around January 16, 2027. At that pace, the federal government would add roughly another $1 trillion to the debt every 151 days. As of Sept 03, total gross national debt is $40.10T. Relative to 1yr ago, total gross national debt is $2.67T higher; relative to 5yrs ago, it is $11.68T higher. Over the past year, the rate of increase averaged $7.35B/day, $306.40M/hour, $5.11M/minute, or $85,111.72/second.… — Joint Economic Committee Republicans (@JECRepublicans) September 8, 2026 The report also highlighted the growing cost of servicing the debt as interest rates remain substantially higher than they were several years ago. As of August, the average interest rate on the federal government’s marketable debt stood at 3.475% compared with 3.415% one year earlier and 1.458% five years ago. Higher rates increase the government’s borrowing costs as existing securities mature and the Treasury issues new debt. The Congressional Budget Office forecasts net interest will account for 13.95% of federal outlays in Fiscal Year 2026, rising to 14.25% in Fiscal Year 2027, and 14.94% in Fiscal Year 2028. The federal government also paid approximately $294.76 billion in interest to trust funds during the previous 12 months, averaging $24.56 billion per month. Treasury notes continue to make up the largest portion of publicly held debt. As of August, approximately $16.21 trillion, or 50.02% is held in notes, while $7.25 trillion is in Treasury bills and $5.51 trillion is in bonds. Another $3.44 trillion is held in other securities. About 33% of publicly held marketable debt is expected to mature within 12 months, according to the most recent data from the third quarter of FY26. The average maturity of the debt stood at 71 months as of June compared with 72 months a year earlier and 69 months in June 2021. Despite the growing debt load, Treasury auctions continue to show demand for U.S. government securities. As of August, the bid-to-cover ratio stood at 2.97 for four-week Treasury bills, 2.53 for 10-year notes, and 2.39 for 30-year bonds. A ratio of 2 or higher is generally considered an indication of strong demand. The latest figures come as federal policymakers face the combination of a rapidly growing debt burden, elevated borrowing costs, and a significant portion of existing debt scheduled to mature in the near future.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aa5194f75342cf4db8577a1 Pima County Resurrects COVID-Era Eviction Legal Services Program With New Federal Funds te 2026-09-12T09:20:15.458Z Pima County Resurrects COVID-Era Eviction Legal Services Program With New Federal Funds By Staff Reporter | Pima County and the city of Tucson have entered an agreement to use nearly $1 million in federal funds to provide legal services to those facing evictions. The council approved the initiative as part of the consent agenda during their regular meeting on Wednesday. Up to 250 households at risk of eviction may receive legal services through Pima County’s Emergency Eviction Legal Services (EELS) as set forth by an intergovernmental agreement with Pima County. The agreement has a retroactive start date of July 1, 2026. EELS will rely on $976,399 in federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Those funds may also cover short-term financial assistance and utility assistance, with the county targeting four neighborhoods with high concentrations of manufactured housing when allocating the funds. These HUD funds are part of a larger $11.5 million Community Development Block Grant awarded to the city of Tucson through the Preservation and Reinvestment Initiative for Community Enhancement (PRICE), a program launched in December 2024 under the Biden-Harris administration.  While HUD primarily marketed the PRICE program as financial assistance for manufactured housing repair and accessibility, the agency also allowed for funds to go to other services like eviction prevention, housing counseling, and planning activities for transitioning to resident-managed communities. HUD awarded a total of $225 million to 17 applicants, including the city of Tucson, in an announcement last April. EELS began in March 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Pima County Board of Supervisors ordered allocation of federal pandemic relief funds to provide free legal services to residents facing eviction.  Per its latest report covering fiscal years 2022-2023, Pima County EELS reported providing services to 6,000 households from 2021 through 2023: 2,048 residents received free legal services and 2,308 rent-assistance payments were made to landlords.  Pima County EELS exhausted its pandemic-relief funds in 2024. With the HUD grant, Pima County has replenished the EELS coffers with more federal funding of a different sort.  According to the intergovernmental agreement establishing the resurrected version of EELS, Pima County will submit a monthly invoice for reimbursement of costs containing a summary report of expenditures by budget line item.  As reported last month, the city of Phoenix is also exploring pathways to continue with their provision of free legal services to residents facing eviction. The city has so far relied on approximately $1.2 million in federal pandemic funds to pilot the Eviction Legal Services program, which is anticipated to continue through June 2027.  The city has also been distributing $3 million in emergency financial assistance since earlier this summer. Certain residents are eligible to receive up to $2,500, which may be spent on a variety of “needs” that city staff loosely define as anything from utilities, rent, and transportation to continuing education or work credentials.  Other counties currently provide similar eviction prevention services rooted in financial aid: Coconino, Gila, and Maricopa counties provide programs to provide funding help for rent and utilities.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aa5194d75342cf4db857798 Fontes Promotes New Election ‘Misinformation’ Website Amid Disputes Over His Claims te 2026-09-12T09:20:13.849Z Fontes Promotes New Election ‘Misinformation’ Website Amid Disputes Over His Claims By Staff Reporter | The secretary of state’s office is promoting a website newly launched this year aiming to debunk misinformation concerning Arizona elections. Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, who has earned a reputation for dispensing misinformation himself, launched the website, arizona.vote, earlier this year ahead of the primary election. The secretary of state’s office also maintains social media accounts on X, Instagram, and Threads. On these three platforms, the office is posting election-related information aimed at “misinformation inoculation” as part of a new campaign. Fontes told Capitol Media Services that some among the election systems skeptics and critics are acting based on bad intentions, and not out of genuine concern for election integrity.  “The problem is there are people out there who are motivated to sow distrust even if the little issue that might pop up is minor and easily explained,” said Fontes. “Their goal is to capitalize on mistrust. And our goal is to make sure the public is inoculated against the potential mistrust.” Fontes’ representation of critical election-related issues has been contested and, in some cases, overruled in court. Last month, the Maricopa County Superior Court separately ruled that Fontes’ proposed ballot language for Propositions 212 and 145 had violated the law. In both cases, the court found that Fontes’ writing would have misled voters on critical decisions impacting school choice. The secretary of state stated that the new website offers more than just misinformation debunking, but the remainder of the content only offers links to external webpages on voter registration and verification, ballot tracking, and information on voting and election deadlines.  Since taking office, Fontes has worked to defeat narratives advanced by election skeptics and critics, mainly coming from the Republican Party.  Last month, President Donald Trump issued an address to the nation in which he announced the declassification of documents purportedly revealing “shocking vulnerabilities” opening up the nation’s election infrastructure to hacking and foreign interference. Trump also alleged that members of “the deep state” worked to suppress both public and elected official knowledge of election meddling.  These documents were released by the White House Government Transparency Task Force. In part, the document dump revealed intelligence community assessments that the interference from foreign adversaries had the potential to alter data to prevent voting, delay voting on election day, or force voters to use provisional ballots.  Fontes immediately countered with a statement defending the integrity of Arizona’s election system, and challenged the Trump administration to share what, if any, credible evidence of criminal activity or unlawful voting in Arizona it had found.  “Arizona has some of the strongest election laws in the nation,” said Fontes. “We verify voter eligibility, enforce voter identification requirements, maintain clean voter rolls, protect voters’ personal information, and conduct transparent, auditable elections in partnership with our county recorders.” Fontes has also defended the practice of mail-in voting. A whistleblower recently alleged that USPS has begun work to implement Trump’s executive order limiting mail voting in spite of a preliminary federal injunction. Fontes filed a declaration in California’s case challenging Trump’s executive order, citing the prevalence of mail voting in the state. Approximately 80% of registered voters receive a mail ballot according to the secretary of state’s latest count.    Along with voicing his opposition to Republican-led election reforms in his official capacity, Fontes has also positioned himself within his reelection campaign as a defender of Arizona elections against skeptics and critics.  Fontes is defending his seat from his opponent, Republican lawmaker Alexander Kolodin, whose is responsible for legislation that is credited for vastly improving the election process this year.

In New York, MLB and the Mets co-hosted a meal-packing event Friday at Citi Field with the nonprofit 9/11 Day as part of the UNITE for Good initiative. The event took place just miles from where the attacks unfolded 25 years ago. Later in the day, players, managers, coaches and umpires across the MLB wore special caps bearing a "We Shall Never Forget" side patch. The Toronto Blue Jays wore caps featuring both the Canadian and American flags, while the Yankees and Mets wore first-responder caps with their team logos at Yankee Stadium. AMERICA MARKS 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11 ATTACKS Ahead of Friday night’s first pitch in the Bronx, Aaron Judge and Gerrit Cole joined manager Aaron Boone to lay a wreath at the 9/11 memorial in Monument Park. A giant flag covered the outfield for the national anthem, sung by the opera tenor James Valenti, with Lee Greenwood following him with "God Bless America." At ballparks across the majors, customized base jewels and official lineup cards were part of the tribute. The home teams observed a leaguewide moment of silence.

SUBSCRIBE Lombardo and Collier won their Green Party primary races in July, but the Arizona Green Party has accused them of being Republicans in disguise, aimed at pulling progressive votes away from Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs to benefit her Republican opponent Andy Biggs.  Lombardo has extensive ties to the Republican Party, and both she and Collier have both worked with numerous people and businesses directly tied to the GOP during their campaigns.  Lombardo, Collier and Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Neely, who didn’t make it past the primary, are all under investigation by the Clean Elections Commission and the Arizona Attorney General for accusations that they fraudulently used voter information to submit enough $5 contributions to qualify for a total of more than $4.7 million in public campaign funding.  Like other Clean Elections candidates, Lombardo, Collier and Neely agreed to forgo large donations and money from PACs in exchange for a fixed amount of public funding, based on the office they seek.  As a condition of their participation, candidates agree to follow a long list of Clean Elections rules, including increased reporting requirements about how they spend campaign money.  Collins informed Lombardo, Collier and Neely in Aug. 25 letters that, once his investigation is complete, the commission might require them to repay the money. On Sept. 10, Tim La Sota, the attorney for Lombardo and Collier, filed the lawsuit in Maricopa County Superior Court, although the text of the complaint says the events described in it happened in Cochise County.  “Defendants are trying to bully and intimidate Plaintiffs into effectively dropping their campaigns, campaigns the Commission disapproves of, by depriving them of Commission funding, or threatening to subject each to hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in repayment obligations,” the lawsuit alleges. La Sota wrote in the suit that the allegations laid out in the Aug. 25 letters from Collins “relied heavily” on a “newspaper article.” Six people who supposedly made $5 donations to the Lombardo, Collier and Neely campaigns told the Arizona Mirror for an Aug. 25 article that they didn’t make the contributions, and that their information had been falsely used. ‘With 1,000% certainty’: Voters say candidates faked their donations to get public campaign cash La Sota pointed out in the lawsuit that the people who spoke to the Mirror admitted that the signatures on the false $5 donation slips looked like their signatures.  He failed to note that all six of them said they had signed unrelated petitions in grocery store or marijuana dispensary parking lots within the past year, and believed their information and signatures had been taken without their knowledge from the petitions. And all of them said that they were certain they never gave any of the candidates $5 to help them qualify for public funding. The Mirror found that thousands of donors were listed as contributing $5 to all three campaigns on the same days, while hundreds of them had never made a contribution to any other candidate, according to campaign finance reports.  Collins told the Clean Elections Commission during an Aug. 27 meeting that the Mirror’s reporting confirmed what he had discovered so far in his own investigation.  Additionally, Collins found that the candidates’ bank accounts showed lump sum deposits equal to the total $5 contributions they said they obtained. For Lombardo and Collier, those deposits were made the same day they applied to receive Clean Elections funding; Neely applied several days after making his deposit. All of the candidates said they had collected the contributions in $5 cash increments over the course of months, but didn’t deposit any of it until months later.  On Aug. 27, the commission instructed Collins to finish his investigation and to issue his recommendation for or against repayment, and the repayment amount, by as soon as Sept. 24 and no later than Oct. 29.   In the lawsuit, Lombardo and Collier asked the court to block the Clean Elections Commission from “decertifying” them and ordering them to pay back millions in public campaign funding, saying that it didn’t have the legal authority to do so.  And they argued that only the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office had the authority to approve or deny funding, based on checks of the candidates’ $5 donations and accompanying information made by the county recorders. The county recorders notify the Secretary of State’s Office about contributor signatures that don’t match the voter’s file, but neither the recorders nor the secretary of state contact the contributors directly to confirm they made the donations.  “The Commission has nothing to do with the process for certifying a candidate’s qualification for funding under the (Clean Elections Act),” La Sota wrote. “The Commission is without power to subsequently declare, months after the Secretary of State’s certification has been completed, that a candidate should not have qualified for Clean Elections funding in the first instance and must repay their funds back to the Commission.” A 2001 legal opinion from then-Arizona Attorney General Janet Napolitano found that the secretary of state has authority to approve or deny Clean Elections funding based on whether candidates submitted enough $5 contribution slips that are signed, dated and correspond with the information of a registered voter.  “If funding is to be approved or denied for some other reason, however, the Commission would make that determination under its general enforcement power,” she wrote.  Napolitano’s opinion did not specifically address which entity had the authority to claw back the money if the contributions and the accompanying documentation were later found to be fraudulent.  La Sota also asked the court to block Collins and the Clean Elections Commission from “continued violations of Plaintiffs’ free speech rights in the form of bullying and intimidation of the Plaintiffs into silencing themselves and effectively suspending their campaigns.”  He wrote that, because “campaign expenditures are treated as core political speech,” the Clean Elections Commission has violated Lombardo’s and Collier’s free speech rights.  La Sota did not say which actions the commission took or might take specifically that would violate the candidates’ rights to free speech.  “Restrictions that burden spending for political speech, whether candidate spending or independent spending, get strict scrutiny and usually fail,” he wrote.  In addition to the investigation into the candidates’ $5 contributions, Collins also told the commission that he believes Lombardo and Collier both violated campaign finance reporting laws that require them to report all subcontractors by name. O’Neil Printing in Phoenix and Uncle Sam Petitions did work for both campaigns, but neither was listed in their campaign finance reports.  Collins declined to comment on the lawsuit.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aa49d1075342cf4db855f53 El-Sayed ignites firestorm after sharing 9/11 message on social media: 'Piece of sh--' te 2026-09-12T00:30:08.696Z El-Sayed ignites firestorm after sharing 9/11 message on social media: 'Piece of sh--' Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan, sparked social media backlash after posting his 9/11 message on his X account. "They didn’t just attack America that day they attacked the idea of America," El-Sayed said. "The notion of a nation brought together by ideals — a place where freedom and commitment to justice bind us, even if, at times, we struggle to fully realize it, the controversial far-left candidate continued. "Today on 9/11 we remember the lives that were taken from us in a terrible act of terrorism." CBS NEWS TAKES HEAT OVER REPORT ON DEM HOPEFUL ABDUL EL-SAYED'S NOW-DELETED 9/11 POSTS Online viewers quickly reminded El-Sayed of his friendship with Hasan Piker, the progressive streamer who has gone viral multiple times for previously claiming that the U.S. "deserved 9/11." "Shut up, you FRAUD," the Libs of TikTok, a conservative X account that focuses on key social and cultural issues, said in a post on Friday. Steve Guest, a frequent political commentator and a former staffer for Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, echoed the criticism in a post of his own, posting a picture of Piker and El-Sayed standing together. "This you?" Guest wrote. He also included a caption on the photo with another one of Piker’s quotes. "‘I hate America… at least I say it with my f---ing chest,’" the picture’s caption read. "Campaigning with a guy who said we deserved 9/11… his brazen dishonesty makes him all the bigger piece of sh--," GOP consultant Ryan Girdusky posted on X. "You’re a disgrace. You remain unwilling to disavow your chief spokesman who said "America deserved 9/11," National Republican Senatorial Committee communications director Joanna Rodriguez posted on X. "You belittled the American lives lost year after year while giving excuses and showing sympathy for terrorists." "Good job reading from that script buddy," GOP digital strategist Mike Hahn wrote on X. Joey Mannarino, the co-founder of the Overton Institute, a right-wing media group, expressed surprise that El-Sayed had gained any kind of momentum in his campaign for Senate. EL-SAYED TORCHED ONLINE AFTER BRUSHING OFF QUESTIONS ABOUT HASAN PIKER CAMPAIGN TIES: ‘WHAT A PAL’ "How in God’s name is Abdul El-Sayed even close to winning this race? The man campaigns with people who say America deserved 9/11. He is a radical Islamist extremist if I’ve ever seen one. And this is who Michigan wants to put in the Senate?" Mannarino wrote. In the past, El-Sayed has made statements noting that he doesn’t share all of the views held by Piker. "But I want to be crystal clear, nobody speaks for this campaign besides me and my campaign spokesperson," El-Sayed said after Piker called Israel a "Jewish ISIS." "And while politicians and pundits try to make this race about a Twitch streamer, we’re going to be talking about gas, groceries, good schools and healthcare. Because that’s what Michiganders keep asking about." Chuck Ross, an investigative reporter with the Washington Free Beacon, noted that El-Sayed’s post didn’t focus on the wars that followed 9/11 — a topic El-Sayed has frequently invoked when speaking about the terror attack. "El-Sayed, reading off a teleprompter, gives a statement about 9/11. This time he sticks to just 9/11 and not the ‘War on Terror’ aftermath that he usually mentions in his 9/11 anniversary posts," Ross wrote. In the past, El-Sayed has held up the War on Terror as an example of military aggression, using it as Israel prepared to strike Gaza back in October 2023. ABDUL EL-SAYED SAYS RALLYING WITH HASAN PIKER DOESN'T MEAN HE ENDORSES 'AMERICA DESERVED 9/11' REMARK "The President’s visit to Israel as it plans a major escalation & invasion of Gaza is already being held up as an endorsement of the violence being unleashed on innocent Palestinians. I can’t help but hear echoes of 9/11. When do we learn that more violence doesn’t fix violence?" El-Sayed wrote. El-Sayed’s campaign did not respond to requests for comment on why he had not made more efforts to disavow Piker.

"F------ anti-American motherf-----. Go back to f------ Palestine. We don’t want you here," the man yelled to the protester. It was unclear if he was a current or retired firefighter. The man told the protester to also take former President Barack Obama, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Gov. Kathy Hochul and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with them. MAMDANI DRAWS FURY FROM 9/11 MOURNERS OVER GROUND ZERO APPEARANCE: ‘DISRESPECTFUL’ "Take ‘em all. They’re all no f-----g good!" he yelled. "You’re no f-----g good." After the firefighter walked away from the agitator, someone yelled in the video, "The Jews are committing a genocide." It wasn’t clear if it was one of the protesters who yelled it. "Frustration from Americans attending the 9/11 memorial service a few blocks away is spilling over," TPUSA’s X post said. HAMAS, HEZBOLLAH FLAGS FLY AT ANTI-ISRAEL PROTEST MINUTES AFTER MAMDANI CONDEMNS TERROR PLOT AGAINST JEWS Fox News Digital has reached out to TPUSA for comment. The FDNY told Fox News Digital: "We are aware of the video circulating of someone wearing a uniform having a verbal altercation today. This person appears to be from another fire department and is not and has never been a member of the FDNY." Friday marked 25 years since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City; the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.; and in Pennsylvania. 25 YEARS LATER, 9/11 MEMORIES ENDURE AS NATION GATHERS TO HONOR NEARLY 3,000 LIVES LOST All the living former presidents attended the ceremony at Ground Zero along with Vice President JD Vance.
