Mary Killman and Mariya Koroleva will compete in duet but are given little chance of reaching the podium after the Americans failed to earn a medal in Beijing.</p> <!-- --> <!-- --></div> | There's nothing like a good rivalry to get the competitive juices flowing. At the Olympic pool in London, get ready to savor Michael Phelps vs. Ryan Lochte. They are the world's two greatest swimmers, and their head-to-head races at the U.S. Olympic trials were downright epic. Of course, that was merely a tantalizing warmup for the events that really matter in Britain. "I always love competition," Phelps said. "You can probably count on there being some other close races in the next couple of weeks." Already the winningest Olympian ever with 14 gold medals, Phelps will swim seven more events in London in what he insists will be his final meet as a competitive swimmer. The 27-year-old has long stated his plans to retire as soon as his hands hit the wall for the final time at these Games. Lochte has no plans to quit the sport, and the only parting gift he'd like to send to his friendly rival is a couple of Olympic silver medals, which is actually a color Phelps doesn't have. "It's hard to say who is the best swimmer," said Lochte, who beat Phelps twice at the 2011 world championships but lost to him three out of four times at the U.S. trials. "We're both great While much of the attention on the men's side will focus on Phelps and Lochte, there's another American ready to break out for the women. Well, to be more accurate, for the females. Missy Franklin is still just a girl, only 17 and looking forward to her senior year of high school in Colorado. But "Missy the Missile" won five medals at last year's worlds and is scheduled to swim a staggering seven events at the Olympics. With her boundless enthusiasm -- just about everything she says includes the word "awesome -- and a frame that's custom-built for swimming fast -- 6-foot-1 with size-13 feet -- Franklin has a chance to be a huge star in London. "It sounds absolutely amazing," she said. "I'm thrilled to see what's going to happen this summer." There are other compelling stories, as well, from Japanese star Kosuke Kitajima trying to sweep the men's Olympic breaststroke events for the third straight time to sprint stars James Magnussen of Australia (like Franklin, also known as "The Missile) and the tongue-twisting Ranomi Kromowidjojo of the Netherlands (who playfully tells anyone who asks how her name is pronounced, "Just like you write it.") But two swimmers figure to stand above all others at these Games. Phelps and Lochte. "Neither one of us likes to lose," Phelps said. Phelps actually qualified in eight Olympic events, giving him a chance to match his record haul of gold medals from the Beijing Games four years ago. But he dropped the 200-meter freestyle, believing a slightly smaller program would give him a better chance to succeed, considering he didn't train nearly as hard for these Olympics as he did leading up to 2008. Plus, racing seven times instead of eight removes any pressure to repeat his Great Haul of China, when he broke Mark Spitz's iconic record for most golds at one Olympics. "We won't hear that number `eight' again," said Bob Bowman, Phelps' longtime coach. That leaves him with two races against Lochte: the 200 and 400 individual medleys. The laid-back Floridian, known for his wild wardrobe, gaudy jewelry and blurting out nonsensical words such as "jeah," won both events at the 2011 worlds, beating Phelps with a world-record time in the 200 and easily taking the longer race with Phelps sitting out. Phelps, the two-time defending Olympic champion in both, returned to the 400 IM only this year after vowing in Beijing to never swim the grueling race again. Lochte beat him by a fairly comfortable margin at the trials, but Phelps came back to win the 200 IM -- the two swimmers never more than inches apart, swimming virtually in sync for all four laps. Look for more of the same in London, especially since Phelps has clearly been paying attention to Lochte's repeated declarations that "this is my time." "I'm always a fan of quotes," Phelps said with a sly grin. He also edged Lochte in the 200 free at the trials, then surprised everyone by dropping that event. That will make things a bit easier for the defending world champion, but Lochte is hardly a shoe-in against a loaded international field. France's Yannick Agnel has put up the three fastest times in the world this year, Germany's Paul Biedermann won the 2009 world championship, and there's a trio of Asian stalwarts who figure to be in the mix: Sun Yang of China, Park Tae-hwan of South Korea and Takeshi Matsuda of Japan. Like Phelps and Franklin, Lochte is down to swim four individual events in London. He also qualified in the 200 backstroke, another race he won at worlds during a six-medal performance. The most exciting races could come in the relays, especially the 4x100 free. Australia, led by Magnussen and James Roberts, appears to be the clear favorite. But the U.S. upset a powerful French team in 2008, a memorable race in which Jason Lezak chased down Alain Bernard on the final leg to keep Phelps on course for his record eight gold medals. "We're not farther away from the Australians now than we were from the French four years ago," said Gregg Troy, the U.S. men's coach. It will be interesting to see who the Americans send out on that relay. Phelps didn't even compete in the 100 free at the trials, but he's assured of being in the four-man group that swims the final. The U.S. also could insert Lochte, though he only swam through the semifinals of the 100 free in Omaha. At the moment, Lochte is assured of just one relay in London, the 4x200 free. He definitely wants to be on another and his personal coach is Troy, who will have the final say on who to send out for the relays. That should provide some intrigue at selection time. Even if the times don't match up to the Australians, the Americans might look to gain a psychological edge by having a team that includes the world's best all-around swimmers. "You have to have those types of guys on the relays," said Cullen Jones, another contender for a relay spot. "If anything, just to scare the crap out of everyone else. Those guys really do put forth a lot of effort, especially in the 100. Even though it's not their best event, they always show up." Magnussen is looking to live up to his nickname. The Missile has already gone more than a half-second faster (47.10 seconds) than anyone else in the world this year in the 100 free, and he's eager to take down the world record set by Brazil's Cesar Cielo (46.91) in a high-tech bodysuit. "If I swam it in a minute, I wouldn't mind as long as I get that Olympic gold," Magnussen said. But he added, barely pausing, "I'll be doing everything in my power to break that world record because I want to be considered the fastest man in history." Cielo might have something to say about that, at least in the 50 free. He's the defending Olympic champion in the chaotic one-lap sprint, and he put up a blistering 21.38 at the Brazilian championships in April, just off his winning time in Beijing. No male swimmer has ever won the same event at three straight Olympics, but it's likely to happen -- several times -- in London. Phelps has a chance to three-peat in all four of his individual events, while Kitajima is looking to duplicate his breaststroke sweeps from 2004 and 2008. Also keep an eye on the home team. The Brits want to improve on the six medals they won in Beijing, and they'll certainly have the crowds behind them at the dazzling new aquatic center in Olympic Park. The women, especially, will send out a strong team that includes Rebecca Adlington, who won the 400 and 800 free four years ago, and medal contenders Francesca Halsall, Ellen Gandy and Hannah Miley. This looked to be the Year of the Comeback, with everyone from Ian Thorpe to 40-year-old Janet Evans attempting to recapture their former glory. Most failed miserably. Thorpe was eliminated at the Australian trials, while Evans didn't come close to qualifying for the U.S. team. Former Olympic medalist Ed Moses also failed to make it, and even 45-year-old Dara Torres -- who didn't actually retire after Beijing but was trying to overcome a radical knee operation -- came up short. Torres entered only one event at the U.S. trials, putting all her eggs in the 50 free. The made it to the final of that furious sprint, but finished fourth -- nine-hundredths of a second away from a spot in her sixth Olympics. She scooped up her 6-year-old daughter and immediately retired for the third time, this time for good. "This is really over," Torres said. Natalie Coughlin almost missed out, but the 11-time medalist slipped onto the U.S. team in the 4x100 free relay. That should at least give her a chance to match Torres and Jenny Thompson as the most decorated female Olympians in the country's history, but that's a far cry from the six medals Coughlin won in Beijing. "I'm at peace with it," she said. "I did everything I possibly could this year." Anthony Ervin only has one event, too, but his arrival in London will be much more triumphant. A gold medalist at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, he stunningly quit the sport three years later without explanation. After an eight-year walkabout, he quietly returned to the pool and quickly showed why he was considered one of the most naturally gifted sprinters in U.S. history. Ervin completed his comeback by earning a spot in the 50 free. "I just want to keep this fun train chugging," he said. One thing that hasn't made much news in the lead-up to the London Games: the high-tech suits that were once all the rage. Speedo unveiled its groundbreaking LZR Racer, developed with help from NASA, shortly before the Beijing Olympics, setting off a virtual arms race to come up with the fastest suit. The situation got downright silly by the 2009 worlds in Rome, where some swimmers competed in rubberized suits that came with everything but a motor.

Amy’s furious family have blasted junkie ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil’s attempt to grab the late singer’s money — saying: “He deserves nothing.” Fielder-Civil, 37, who has admitted introducing singer Amy to heroin, is demanding a lump sum payout plus a monthly allowance. AMY WINEHOUSE PAL RELEASES UNSEEN PHOTOS OF LATE SINGER A source close to the family, who now face a court battle with Fielder-Civil, said: “This is someone who spent a lot of Amy’s money during their time together. “He also and spent a lot of their marriage in prison, bringing nothing but pain to everyone. “To give him another penny would be too much. “To say that it would be inappropriate for him to benefit from her estate would be an understatement.” Amy, who died aged 27 of alcohol poisoning on 23 July 2011, did not leave a will. Her after-tax assets of $3.64 million went to her mum Janis, 63, and dad Mitch, 68. Since her death the value of her estate is believed to have grown considerably from song royalties. AMY WINEHOUSE'S LIFE IN PHOTOS Fielder-Civil has told Amy’s family his lawyers say he has a valid claim because he was with her for six years during which she released some of her best-selling material. It comes days after the eighth anniversary of her death. The source said: “Amy’s family are obviously upset about this – particularly as it has come at such a sensitive time.” Another source said: “Blake is an utter scumbag. It is unbelievable that he is trying to tap into her estate and make a claim for money. “Janis, in particular, is very upset about this.” Fielder-Civil and Amy were married for two years, divorcing in July 2009. She gave him a $309,000 payoff. But lawyers say the detail of that settlement will be the key factor in Fielder-Civil’s legal claim. If the payment was specified as a “clean-break” then he has no real grounds for demanding more money. If not, he may have a case. AMY WINEHOUSE'S EX BLAKE FIELDER-CIVIL SHOCKS 'GOOD MORNING BRITAIN' WITH APPEARANCE Frank Arndt, senior partner at Paradigm Family Law, said: “If there wasn’t a ‘clean break’ there is a case that could be pursued. “His team will possibly say he needs the money for a house, something that he needs and that there is money in the estate.” Fielder-Civil lives in a pokey seventh-floor flat on a crime-ridden council estate in Leeds. The windows of a ground-floor flat in the tower block are boarded up and an old, discarded door is propped up against the wall. In the foyer, security cameras monitor residents and visitors 24 hours a day. Amy was hailed as one of the world’s most talented young songwriters in the wake of her debut album "Frank" in 2003. Three years later, follow-up "Back to Black" won five Grammy and turned her into a global superstar. But she spiraled into drug and alcohol addiction, with many fans blaming hard-partying Fielder-Civil. He was accused of being a parasite, living off Amy’s fortune and making her move into a millionaire’s mansion in Camden, North London. AMY WINEHOUSE'S FATHER SLAMS PAUL MCCARTNEY Fielder-Civil, the inspiration for her heartbreaking hit single Back to Black, was in prison from July 2008 to February 2009 after admitting perverting the course of justice and GBH. He was given nothing after Amy’s death. It is not believed he requested any money. In a 2013 interview, Fielder-Civil said he regretted introducing Amy to heroin. He said: “I’d taken it about three or four times. “We were in a hotel in east London and I think I had about $13 of heroin with me, which is something I used to do after a club. “I was smoking it on foil and she said ‘Can I try some?’ I think I might have put up a weak resistance, the fact is whatever I said she did end up having some. “We were using it once a week for about two to three weeks, to then twice a week and then it gradually built up like that. We smoked, she never injected it.” On Tuesday fans marked the eighth anniversary of Amy’s death. The 2011 tragedy triggered a surge in her popularity — with music fans buying 1.7 million Amy albums in the first year after her death. AMY WINEHOUSE DIED OF ALCOHOL POISONING, INQUEST DETERMINES Mitch and Janis set up the Amy Winehouse Foundation to help young musicians and people with addiction problems. A 2015 documentary Amy explored her life. Former black cab driver Mitch also released a book entitled "Amy, My Daughter." The family have signed a deal to make a biopic about her life, with proceeds going to the foundation. Her friends and family are furious that any successful claim by Fielder-Civil could take money from the charity. Latest accounts for the foundation show it spent nearly $1 million on good causes in a year. That included $562,000 for the Amy Winehouse Resilience program which aids 11-18 year-olds with drug and alcohol problems. Last year, Amy’s family also revealed plans for a tour featuring a hologram of Amy — which have now been shelved. Mitch, speaking about the proposed biopic, said: “What we want is somebody to portray Amy in the way that she was — the funny, brilliant, charming and horrible person that she was. “There’s no point really me making the film because I’m her dad. But to get the right people to do it, that’s very important — and we will.” QUITTING ALCOHOL KILLED AMY WINEHOUSE, FAMILY CLAIMS Fielder-Civil, who describes himself as an actor, blasted the tour plan — and seemed to accuse the family of cashing in on her memory. Appearing on "Good Morning Britain," Fielder-Civil said: “It’s old footage, it can’t be anything new. “It can’t have the same interaction to Amy, it can’t be the same. I’m a bit concerned ... there would be no human element to it. STATUE OF LATE SINGER AMY WINEHOUSE REVEALED IN LONDON “I object to every opportunity that has been made. “It seems since Amy passed away seven years ago there have been films, one in the making and a hologram tour. I can’t see many other reasons for this tour.” Fielder-Civil, whose damaged teeth and dishevelled appearance shocked viewers, also played down his role in Amy’s drug problems. He said: “The drug thing is something that has been attributed to me for years. “The fact, me and Amy only used drugs together for six months of our marriage.

Bush is pressuring companies to come clean with investors and auditors to be objective in the aftermath of the Enron bankruptcy, which threatened to inflict political damage on the White House. The energy-trading company, the most generous corporate backer of Bush's career, hid more than $1 billion in debt and its auditors blessed its financial statements. Many investors have been unnerved by the Enron debacle and distrustful of the accuracy of the financial reports of big companies, and their skepticism has hurt the stock market in recent weeks. On Thursday, Bush was releasing a 10-point plan that bundled various proposals made recently by the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission and by lawmakers. Bush was to outline them in a speech Thursday. "Reform should improve investor confidence and help our economy grow," Bush said in remarks prepared for delivery Thursday morning. "It is important to provide regulation and remedies where needed, without inviting a rush of new lawsuits that exploit problems instead of solving them." Among Bush's proposals is one that would create an independent regulatory board under the supervision of the SEC to "develop standards of professional conduct and competence." The board would monitor, investigate and enforce its "ethics principles" by punishing offenders. Lawmakers, the SEC and the Justice Department are investigating Enron and the role of its longtime auditor, the Arthur Andersen accounting firm, in Enron's collapse. The company entered the biggest corporate bankruptcy in U.S. history on Dec. 2. SEC Chairman Harvey Pitt, who was appointed by Bush, had proposed a new private-sector body to regulate the accounting profession, which would be dominated by executives and experts from outside the accounting industry. But some experts say a new federal regulatory agency should be created for the accounting profession, which is currently self-policing. Under Bush's proposal, the government would bar external auditors from performing any other services such as consulting for the same corporate client, if that other service "compromises the independence of the audit." Anderson performed both auditing and consulting for Enron. Bush also proposed that CEOs be forced to pay back bonuses and other "incentive-based" compensation in cases of accounting restatements stemming from misconduct. The White House didn't say who would investigate or enforce this. Some of Bush's proposals would require new laws; others could be simply implemented by the SEC.

The Yasukuni Shrine honors war criminals, including wartime leader Hideki Tojo, among the 2.5 million war dead. Many Asian victims of Japan's wartime atrocities, especially China and the Koreas, see the shrine as a symbol of militarism. Abe last visited Yasukuni in December, triggering anger from China and South Korea. On Friday, Abe sent a set of Shinto-style "masakaki" ornaments on the occasion marking the shrine's Oct. 17-20 autumn festival, one of three major events when Japan's conservatives typically pray there. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said Abe made the gesture as a private citizen based on his personal belief. A group of 110 lawmakers and 80 aides prayed at the shrine for the war dead. None of the Cabinet members have showed up so far Friday, though Internal Affairs and Communications Minister Sanae Takaichi told reporters Thursday that she would go. Health Minister Yasuhisa Shiozaki offered religious ornaments similar to Abe's. Abe's move signaled he chose to stay away from visiting the shrine. He is currently in Italy for the Asia-Europe Meeting and was scheduled to return home Saturday. Japanese top officials have expressed desire for a first-ever meeting between Abe and Chinese President Xi Jinping during an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Beijing in November, but Beijing has rejected the suggestion. Abe's low-key approach of sending the offerings rather than visiting the shrine is seen as reflecting the hopes for meeting Xi next month.

Albuquerque police said Bernalillo County sheriff's deputies took 36-year-old Christopher Cook into custody without incident early Tuesday on suspicion of shooting Officer Lou Golso during a weekend traffic stop. Police say Golson was shot twice, at least once in the torso, as he tried to question Cook early Saturday morning during a stop on suspected drunken driving. Authorities say it's unclear what provoked the driver to open fire on the officer, who shot back before the suspect fled. Golson is listed in stable condition following surgery, but he will need additional surgeries. Online court records don't list a lawyer for Cook. Police have scheduled a press conference Tuesday to discuss the case. | 6f1458b0-8035-52cd-9e6f-345c0cc6aa45 | 05/19/25 |

Party officials used a voice vote to reject a proposal by Colorado delegate Kendal Unruh to let delegates “cast a vote of conscience” and abandon the candidate they had been committed too through the state primaries or caucuses. The amendment became a focal point of furious lobbying that’s pitted the so-called Never Trump movement against Trump’s campaign and top leaders of the Republican Party. On a 112-member rules panel dominated by party and Trump loyalists, the outcome was expected. Unruh expected to collect signatures from 28 members to bring a vote to unbind the delegates on the convention floor in Cleveland next week. However, she was only able to collect 21. She encountered overwhelming opposition from delegates arguing that it would be unthinkable for the party to abandon Trump after he overwhelmingly won GOP primaries and caucuses and garnered more than 13 million votes. "You want to ignore what is really the grassroots, which is millions and millions and millions of voters who voted for Donald Trump," said Stephen Munisteri, a delegate and leading GOP figure from Texas. He added, "The only way to advance the conservative cause is through a strong Republican Party that is united to defeat Hillary Clinton and the Democrats this fall." For good measure, the rules panel also approved language specifically stating that party rules allow delegates to be "bound" to candidates. Despite their defeat, anti-Trump delegates say they believe current rules already free delegates to support anybody and have planned to contest balloting when the convention votes for its nominee next week. While on a path to near-certain victory, Trump has drawn bitter opposition from Republicans who say he's not conservative and is an inept campaigner whose harsh statements will cause his defeat and losses by GOP candidates for Congress and elsewhere. Earlier Thursday, talks between top party officials and recalcitrant conservatives broke down, increasing the odds of nationally televised clashes during next week's sessions on other GOP rules, a faceoff leaders have been hoping to avoid. As Thursday's negotiations foundered, the alliance between the Trump campaign and leaders of the Republican National Committee showed its muscle and began rejecting conservatives' attempts to revamp party rules. In one showdown, the rules committee voted 86-23 to reject an effort by conservatives to eliminate the RNC's ability to change party rules in years between national conventions. In another, the panel used a voice vote to defeat a plan to bar members of the RNC from being lobbyists — a profession that employs many of them in their home states — though it would have exempted lobbyists for nonprofit organizations. In a gesture to conservatives, the rules panel voted to create a commission that by 2018 could propose changes to the GOP's presidential nominating process, which came under intense fire this year. Trump called the system "rigged" early on, and his opponents have demanded more power for delegates to select a fresh nominee. The closed-door negotiations were aimed at finding middle ground that would have increased the chances for a smoothly functioning four-day gathering next week, averting televised battles among members of a party whose likely presidential candidate has already proven divisive. There's been talk of some Trump foes walking out of the convention if they feel they've been treated unfairly, a spectacle top Republicans would love to avoid. But by late afternoon, Ken Cuccinelli — a leader of the conservatives who was an adviser to Cruz's presidential campaign — said GOP leaders he was negotiating with told him, "Sorry, we don't have a deal." Those talks focused on conservatives' proposals, aimed at appealing to grassroots conservatives, that would take power from the Republican National Committee — consisting of 168 party leaders from around the country — and its chairman, who is currently Reince Priebus. Both sides agreed that the bargaining broke down over an effort by conservatives to provide extra convention delegates to states with primaries closed to independent and Democratic voters, many of whom flocked to Trump in this year's voting. Cuccinelli said he would win enough support — 28 of the rules committee's 112 members — to be allowed votes on several of his proposals by the full convention.

On Tuesday, Biden finished up his trip to Brazil, where he attended the G-20 summit and met with world leaders, including Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. Video shows that as Biden prepared to board Air Force One, an unidentified reporter tried to grab his attention. She can be heard yelling at the top of her lungs to break through the noise created by Biden's Boeing 747 plane. It is not clear if Biden chose not to answer her or if he could not hear her questions over the roar from the plane's engines. "Mr. President, happy early birthday! For your birthday, will you talk to us, sir?" the reporter said, her voice growing louder with each attempt to ask questions.

BIDEN MISSES G-20 FAMILY PHOTO, WHITE HOUSE BLAMES ‘LOGISTICAL’ ISSUES Biden turns 82 on Wednesday and will finish office as the oldest person to serve as president in American history – until President-elect Trump, 78, assumes office in January and serves for four more years. Many news outlets have called out Biden for his habit of ignoring reporters' questions and lack of direct interviews with the media. BIDEN LAUGHS AND SMIRKS AS THE PRESS IS USHERED OUT OF THE OVAL OFFICE WITHOUT QUESTIONS "For anyone who understands the role of the free press in a democracy, it should be troubling that President Biden has so actively and effectively avoided questions from independent journalists during his term," The New York Times said in a public statement in April.

The statement went on to say that while Biden may be within his rights to avoid the New York Times in particular, he needs to speak with major news outlets on principle.

Story tips can be sent to <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>. </p></div></div></div> | Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, on Wednesday rejected the "absurd" allegations that President Biden was presented with a watered-down version of the chaos at the border during his visit to El Paso, Texas as critics accuse local Democrats of conspiring to paint a watered-down picture of the migrant crisis to benefit the White House. "I want to debunk that," Escobar told Fox News host John Roberts in an interview on "America Reports." "First and foremost, no one is more interested in a secure dignified border than those of us who actually live there. So this trip was important to me, it was important to my community, the federal workforce, NGOs, local governments, etc. We would never conspire to paint a different picture. It’s not in our best interest." BORDER PATROL UNION RIPS BIDEN'S BORDER VISIT, SAYS EL PASO CLEANED UP ‘JUST IN TIME’ Border Patrol and locals complained that Biden's first-ever trip to the U.S.-Mexico border Sunday did not accurately portray the extent of the crisis, pointing to reports that migrant encampments were cleaned up, and local authorities were instructed to ramp up detentions in preparation for the president's visit. Escobar, who worked closely with the White House to plan the president's trip, said that Biden had "every intention" to meet with migrants, but that the traffic at the El Paso processing facility he visited was uniquely slow at the time of his arrival. "As anyone who has worked on the border for any time knows, flows change. So just the week before when the president’s advanced team was there, the processing facility had a lot of people. The flows changed, they moved from El Paso to Eagle Pass," she said. "The president had every intention – and as someone who provided input – to meet migrants." "Number two: The idea that we would sanitize the community to prevent the president from seeing what we have been trying to address at the local level is absurd," Escobar continued. A local homeless shelter director told Fox News that Biden didn't witness the "humanitarian shortcomings" migrants face in El Paso because state and local officials cleared encampments. Host John Roberts asked Escobar to explain a side-by-side image depicting a busy migrant encampment around Sacred Heart Church that was photographed completely empty a day later. BIDEN SEES ‘SANITIZED’ BORDER CRISIS AS MIGRANT ENCOUNTERS PLUMMET AT EL PASO AND ENCAMPMENTS CLEARED: SOURCES Escobar said the encampment was cleared up because Border Patrol implemented enforcement activities in recent weeks, before "any of us knew" about the president's visit. At the same time, NGOs were ramping up efforts to relocate migrants from off the street into shelters," she told Roberts. "The night before the president’s visit I had an update from one of the NGO who said they had been extremely successful in the days leading up," she recalled. President of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) Brandon Judd slammed the president's decision to visit the ports of entry, avoiding the real chaos that occurs "between the port of entry," where cartels "control stretches of our border." "The president was at the border with border patrol but also one of the things we have been worried about has been fentanyl," Escobar fired back.

This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) BILL CUNNINGHAM, RADIO TALK SHOW HOST: At some point in the near future, the media, the stooges from The New York Times; CBS, the Clinton Broadcasting System; NBC, the Nobody But Clinton network; the All Bill Clinton Channel, ABC; and the Clinton News Network at some point is going to peel the bark off Barack Hussein Obama. (END VIDEO CLIP) SEAN HANNITY, CO-HOST: That was our friend, Bill Cunningham, speaking at a Cincinnati rally for Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain earlier today. And Cunningham was there to endorse McCain, but the Arizona senator made sure to distance himself immediately after the talk show host made those comments. And Bill Cunningham now joins us from Cincinnati, the great American that he is. Watch the interview: Click Here All right. Bill, you're — apparently, Senator McCain is upset: "I take responsibility. I repudiate what he said. I will not tolerate anyone that denigrates either Senator Clinton or Senator Obama." And your thoughts and reactions to Senator McCain? BILL CUNNINGHAM, RADIO TALK SHOW HOST: Well, my friend, Sean, McCain should be repudiating Democrats and leaving conservatives alone. His people told me to give the faithful red meat. Give them red, raw meat. And so what I did was deliver a speech about Rezko, the developer in Chicago under a federal criminal indictment, a good friend of Barack Hussein Obama. I spoke about the circumstances involving Obama, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, who was the fellow who gave a lifetime achievement award to Louis Farrakhan. HANNITY: To Louis Farrakhan, yes. CUNNINGHAM: And the daily — the daily political machine gave us this — this stealth candidate, this Manchurian candidate. We don't know who in the heck he is. I'd like to know more about Obama. HANNITY: Yes, I don't know why everybody is fainting. All of Alan's liberal friends have seen it at all these events. But look, at the Rezko trial, a U.S. district judge today presiding over it told prosecutors they can introduce evidence in this case, Bill Cunningham, to support allegations that Rezko used straw men to make contributions to Obama. But a lot of people seem to be taking issue with the fact that you use his full name. Now, that is his name. Isn't it? You didn't make it up. That is his name. CUNNINGHAM: Sean, now why don't you talk to his mother and father, recently departed? God bless and God rest their souls. His parents called him Barack Hussein Obama, not me. And Alan Colmes' good friend, Patrick Fitzgerald, was the U.S. attorney who prosecuted Scooter Libby. He's now prosecuting the good friend of Barack Hussein Obama, and I bet Alan Colmes doesn't know it, doesn't care and would want to ignore it. ALAN COLMES, CO-HOST: I don't even know the guy. HANNITY: Let me ask you this, because it's amazing... COLMES: I don't know him. CUNNINGHAM: Patrick Fitzgerald, your buddy. Alan... HANNITY: I want to get into the idea that Senator McCain repudiated your statements, distanced yourself from him, and he's still being attacked by, for example, Howard Dean, who says, quote, "I hate Republicans and everything they stand for. Republicans have never made an honest living. They're the white Christian party. This is a struggle between good and evil. We're good. Republicans can't get people of color in the room unless, of course, the wait staff is there." You know, I'm just trying to understand. He can say all of that, but you can't use — you can't mention that he's got issues involving Rezko. And you can't use his full name. That's the environment that the Democrats want this country to have a debate in? How are you going to respond to Senator McCain? Will you stop supporting him? CUNNINGHAM: Your co-host, Alan Colmes, wants to have, like, a force field around Barack Hussein Obama, and if you touch it, you get electrocuted. What happened to me today is what's going to happen to conservatives for the next eight months if they bring up Barack Hussein Obama's name. Just say his name. All of a sudden, you're going to be electrocuted. COLMES: Let me point out that on your radio — what you're ignoring, Bill, is on your radio show didn't you call him Barack Hussein Mohammed Obama? CUNNINGHAM: Well, I did call him that once, because Mohammed is the greatest prophet of God according to... COLMES: I see. So why did you add a name that wasn't his name? Now you're acting like, "I just said his name." You didn't do that. You actually inserted the name "Mohammed" to his name. Why did you do that? CUNNINGHAM: I believed at the time that his confirmation and one of his names was Mohammed, and I rescinded the statement. I said Barack Hussein Obama. COLMES: I see. CUNNINGHAM: I thought at the time. I was wrong. Alan, I made a mistake. COLMES: You also had a caller to your radio show refer to him as a terrorist cell. Do you concur with that caller? CUNNINGHAM: No, I did not concur with any caller. I do not believe Barack Hussein Obama is a terrorist or a Manchurian candidate. I do believe we know nothing about this guy from the daily political machine. COLMES: You also said it would be a shock if Barack Mohammed Hussein Obama could be elected the president of this country in these difficult terrorist times. It sounds to me like you're trying to — you're making up names for him, and you're using the word "terrorist" as if you're trying to tie him to terrorism. So you want to explain that statement? CUNNINGHAM: Very easily. This is the candidate who wants to close down Gitmo, who wants to reinstate habeas corpus, who wants to criminalize — terrorist activities, and he wants to eliminate key elements in the Patriot Act.

Durant hopes he'll soon be signed up to wear that jersey for a long time. The NBA's scoring champion from last season will get the opportunity to negotiate an extension with the Thunder on July 1 and he's looking forward to signing on the dotted line. "I hope it happens, man. I'm really emphasizing how much I really enjoy playing for the Oklahoma City team and playing for that city," Durant said in a phone interview Tuesday after the NBA ELITE 11 cover was unveiled. "Hopefully something gets done. I work hard and hopefully things start to pan out for me. We'll see what happens on July 1." Durant was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2007 draft and won the Rookie of the Year award. Last season, he was selected as an All-Star for the first time and averaged 30.1 points to become the youngest player to lead the league in scoring. He is signed with the Thunder through next season under his original rookie contract, which would pay him about $5 million next year. Oklahoma City, which is well under the salary cap, could offer him more than two times that much — with the actual amount dependent on where the cap is set for next season. Durant said he'd prefer to have the contract done with soon, but he won't be hurt if there isn't an offer waiting for him when negotiations are allowed to open next week. "I'm not going to be disappointed at all because I like playing the game," Durant said. "I have the chance to play again the year after that.

He also visited Hong Kong last offseason. "I never thought basketball would take me all the way across the world," Durant said. "It shows how big the game has gotten." His latest accomplishment is being picked by EA Sports to be on the cover of the first installment of its new video game, replacing the NBA Live series. Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade and Dwight Howard were among the players chosen to be on the cover in recent years. Behind Durant, who finished second in the voting for the NBA's most improved player last season, the Thunder increased their win total from 23 to 50 before being eliminated by the eventual champion Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the playoffs. "Being on the cover of a video game, it's big-time," said Durant, who was previously on the cover of NCAA March Madness 08.

About 250 homeless people have erected pup-tents — the only affordable housing they say they could find since Hurricane Katrina — and created a colony of despair in a grassy plaza outside City Hall. Mayor Ray Nagin's second-floor office faces the camp, and its residents rally almost daily with the chant: "Hey, Ray! How about a house today!" Nagin has not met with the group, but he said in a statement that the city "is working with numerous agencies to address the homelessness" that worsened after the hurricane. The mayor said many of the homeless in Duncan Plaza have refused temporary shelter and rental assistance, and he is concerned about unsanitary conditions and safety. Julius Nelson, 32, leader of a group called Homeless Pride that formed in the plaza, said shelters are overflowing and rental assistance is useless in a city where the storm destroyed most of the inexpensive apartments. He feared Nagin's statement meant the mayor would break up the camp. "You've got people all over New Orleans sleeping in abandoned buildings, in abandoned cars, everywhere," Nelson said. "You don't have any affordable housing. People don't even go to the crowded shelters. They come straight here." New Orleans has 12,000 homeless people, up from 6,300 before Katrina, according to UNITY of Greater New Orleans, a group that helps the homeless. Nagin said his office of public advocacy has provided food, clothing and shelter to more than 1,000 people this year. On Thursday, he urged state officials to release rental subsidies that UNITY plans to distribute at the plaza. Still, the encampment has grown from a half-dozen tents three months ago to more than 40 pitched on two grassy knolls. A gazebo in the plaza center is a pen for sleeping bags, cardboard and newspapers on which more homeless people sleep. Some call it a safe haven because National Guard humvees begin their patrols from a Holiday Inn across the street. But a 39-year-old homeless man died in his tent Nov. 8 after he was beaten elsewhere the previous night and wandered back, authorities said. "Bad things happen out here," said a 47-year-old woman who asked to be identified only as Donna. A gold ribbon tied to jesters bells hung on her tent zipper not for decoration, she said, but as an alarm after a stranger tried to enter one night. The camp has become so hard to ignore that some observers believe it will force the mayor to take action on housing, an issue many critics say he has failed to address. "His hand is being forced," said Sam Jackson, a member of the group Concerned Compassionate Community, one of several that brings food to the park. "The mayor can work to get these people a place to stay. Or, he could run them all out. But isn't that harsh?"

When asked how "The Dick Van Dyke Show" was created, the 99-year-old actor shared that he nearly lost his famous show after facing tough competition from another Hollywood star. "I was doing ‘Bye, Bye Birdie’ for a year, and the pilot came up . . . my agent told me it was between me and Johnny Carson," he shared on Ted Danson’s "Where Everybody Knows Your Name" podcast. MALIBU WILDFIRE SURROUNDS DICK VAN DYKE'S HOME; 99-YEAR-OLD STAR 'SAFELY EVACUATED' He continued to explain that after working on "Bye, Bye Birdie," he took a week off, "flew out here and did a pilot with Carl [Reiner], came back . . . he called me and said it sold . . . and then the end of the first season we got canceled." Van Dyke explained his show was up against Perry Como on NBC, and "he beat us every night." Perry Como was one of the most beloved and successful entertainers of the 20th century. The American singer and actor was known for his popular songs, including the holiday hit, "It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" and "Catch a Falling Star." "I was doing ‘Bye, Bye Birdie’ for a year, and the pilot came up . . . my agent told me it was between me and Johnny Carson." Van Dyke said executive producer Sheldon Leonard traveled to Cincinnati to pay Van Dyke's corporate sponsor, Procter & Gamble, a visit and convinced the network to continue airing "The Dick Van Dyke" show. Leonard produced "The Andy Griffith Show" along with "The Dick Van Dyke Show." DICK VAN DYKE, 99, HOPES TO BE REMEMBERED BY FANS FOR ONE THING "He said this show deserves another chance, and they gave us another chance. . . . Then we ran for five years." The Hollywood actor also spoke about working with one of his "heroes," the creator of "The Dick Van Dyke Show," Carl Reiner. LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?

Jessica Tandy always said as an actor you take what is your liability and it'll become your asset. I was doing the DesiLu shows and I'd do five different characters in two days and one of the reasons was because I was bald. The fact that I got a second-hand hair piece really changed everything.<br/><br/><b>FOX411: </b>You wanted to take a break from television after “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.”<br/><b>MacLeod: </b>At the end of the series I said to my wife Patti, “Look that's enough TV for a while. Let's put another act together and go out on the road.”</p><p>… My agent called and said, “Aaron Spelling wants you to do this show, 'The Love Boat.'” I said, “Have you read it?” He said, “Yeah I read it. I think it sucks. Do you want to read it?” I said, “Sure, I mean come on, it's Aaron Spelling, he's no fool.” I read it and I thought, “Nothing like this has ever been on TV before.” I would be the captain, the number one guy on the show, that's nice and of the three stories, one was very, very funny, one was funny and one was very poignant.<br/><br/> Every critic said that we were going to sink like the Titanic. We wound up being number one for I don't know how long and being in 90 countries.<br/><br/><b>FOX411: </b>You write of drinking heavily during your first troubled marriage. Were you an alcoholic or just really unhappy?<br/><b>MacLeod:</b> I think the second. The unhappiness led me to be more unhappy and then drink even more.<br/><br/><b>FOX411: </b>You were married to your second wife Patti for seven years, split for three and then re-united. Why did you divorce the first time?<br/><b>MacLeod: </b>It's because I put my work before her. “The Love Boat” became such a giant job. I was all over the place promoting it. I was traveling all over and I just felt, this sounds very egomaniacal, but I felt that I didn't have time for her anymore.<br/><br/><b>FOX411:</b> How did you reconcile?<br/><b>MacLeod: </b>My mother developed a cyst on the left side of her brain. She was in her 70s and there was going to be an operation and the doctors didn't know if she'd be a vegetable. The morning of the operation I woke up in my big beautiful bedroom in Beverly Hills, thinking the bigger the house the happier you'd be, you can see where I was, and I just prayed to Jesus that if he would give my mother more time I'd turn my life over to him.<br/><br/> Right after that something told me to call Patti. I didn't even have her number. I got it from my secretary. It was September 15, 1984. I called and she picked up. I said, “This is Gavin, can we be friends?” She said, “That's all I ever wanted,” and then I'm asking to see her. She invited me over for dinner. The following Monday I get down there. I knocked on the door and she opens it and says, “I'm sorry Gavin your dinner's cold. It's been waiting for three years.” She is something else!<br/><br/> I came in and she said, “I have something for you,” and she brings me in a Bible with my name on it… So I said, “So you're a born again Christian, What does that mean?” and she explained everything. I said, “Patti, that's what I want!” That was the beginning of me becoming who I am today, a different person.<br/><br/><b>FOX411:</b> How did it change your marriage?<br/><b>MacLeod: </b>The marriage is so solidified. We have what you call a three fold marriage. You make a triangle with your hands and you can see Jesus is at the top and we're below. That's pretty solid. You're a threefold covenant. There's three people in this marriage. We've been through some difficult things physically but we're still here, stronger than ever and living for the Lord.<br/><br/><b>FOX411: </b>From the book it seems you're most proud of a little Christian movie that you did a couple of years ago called “Jonathan Sperry.”<br/><b>MacLeod: </b>No doubt about it. This little movie that cost less than one million dollars and is changing lives and to be a part of it at my age gives me a true purpose in life. Isn't that wonderful?</p> <!-- --> <div class="article-meta"><!-- --></div></div> | Gavin MacLeod has been a steady presence on television for over half a century.

The fact that I got a second-hand hair piece really changed everything.FOX411: You wanted to take a break from television after “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.”MacLeod: At the end of the series I said to my wife Patti, “Look that's enough TV for a while. Let's put another act together and go out on the road.” … My agent called and said, “Aaron Spelling wants you to do this show, 'The Love Boat.'” I said, “Have you read it?” He said, “Yeah I read it. I think it sucks. Do you want to read it?” I said, “Sure, I mean come on, it's Aaron Spelling, he's no fool.” I read it and I thought, “Nothing like this has ever been on TV before.” I would be the captain, the number one guy on the show, that's nice and of the three stories, one was very, very funny, one was funny and one was very poignant. Every critic said that we were going to sink like the Titanic. We wound up being number one for I don't know how long and being in 90 countries.FOX411: You write of drinking heavily during your first troubled marriage. Were you an alcoholic or just really unhappy?MacLeod: I think the second. The unhappiness led me to be more unhappy and then drink even more.FOX411: You were married to your second wife Patti for seven years, split for three and then re-united. Why did you divorce the first time?MacLeod: It's because I put my work before her. “The Love Boat” became such a giant job. I was all over the place promoting it. I was traveling all over and I just felt, this sounds very egomaniacal, but I felt that I didn't have time for her anymore.FOX411: How did you reconcile?MacLeod: My mother developed a cyst on the left side of her brain. She was in her 70s and there was going to be an operation and the doctors didn't know if she'd be a vegetable. The morning of the operation I woke up in my big beautiful bedroom in Beverly Hills, thinking the bigger the house the happier you'd be, you can see where I was, and I just prayed to Jesus that if he would give my mother more time I'd turn my life over to him. Right after that something told me to call Patti. I didn't even have her number. I got it from my secretary. It was September 15, 1984. I called and she picked up. I said, “This is Gavin, can we be friends?” She said, “That's all I ever wanted,” and then I'm asking to see her. She invited me over for dinner. The following Monday I get down there. I knocked on the door and she opens it and says, “I'm sorry Gavin your dinner's cold. It's been waiting for three years.” She is something else! I came in and she said, “I have something for you,” and she brings me in a Bible with my name on it… So I said, “So you're a born again Christian, What does that mean?” and she explained everything. I said, “Patti, that's what I want!” That was the beginning of me becoming who I am today, a different person.FOX411: How did it change your marriage?MacLeod: The marriage is so solidified. We have what you call a three fold marriage. You make a triangle with your hands and you can see Jesus is at the top and we're below. That's pretty solid. You're a threefold covenant. There's three people in this marriage. We've been through some difficult things physically but we're still here, stronger than ever and living for the Lord.FOX411: From the book it seems you're most proud of a little Christian movie that you did a couple of years ago called “Jonathan Sperry.”MacLeod: No doubt about it. This little movie that cost less than one million dollars and is changing lives and to be a part of it at my age gives me a true purpose in life. Isn't that wonderful? | 86776561-4819-5c97-af5f-dce0c75f123e | 05/19/25 |

Police, firefighters, EMTs, anyone who could help rushed to the World Trade Center. </p><div class="ad-container desktop ad-h-50 ad-w-300"><div class="ad gam" data-iu="lb17" id="desktop-desk-ad-lb17"></div> <script>

It is - it's so painful to hear the audio and see the video from that day. But you were there. Take us through that scene when you arrived.</p><p>JOSEPH ESPOSITO, 9/11 FIRST RESPONDER: Well, thank you, Laura, for having me on here. I can't believe it's 20 years, like you said before. But when we got it at the firehouse, when I first got to the firehouse to - of all the hundreds of people that were in front. I saw my father right away. And he was looking for me and he says Michael's work and Michael's work. And I said, ok, I'm going to go over there now and I'm going to find them and I'll bring them home tonight. Don't worry about it. We're good.</p><p>But when we got off the ferry there, thousands of people covered in and sit clapping for us like we just invaded the - like the Marines just landed and it was just unbelievable, like out of a movie scene. And as you got closer and closer, and I got to the seat of the pile, it was just incredible construction. Fire trucks, police cars, crushed, everything. Alarms going off. It was just - I can never imagine, I never imagined that I would be able to be part of that.</p><p>INGRAHAM: And you lost your brother, Michael, a cousin, 11 members of your firefighter brothers, police, others you knew. What do Americans 20 years later, given your losses, what do they need to not forget about what really happened that day?</p><p>ESPOSITO: Well, Laura, day two right after right after it happened, I mean, there was a feeling in America that I never thought I would experience. </p><p>Everybody was kind to everybody. They were cheering for the uniformed forces. Everybody was helping everybody. And it's just a shame, we needed a disaster for that to happen. It should be like that every day.</p><div class="ad-container desktop ad-h-50 ad-w-300"><div class="ad gam" data-iu="lb18" id="desktop-desk-ad-lb18"></div> <script>

We featured what's happening in Virginia, education system in Virginia, where the consultants and people on the payroll actually urging schools to teach kind of a more acceptable version of 9/11, one that doesn't necessarily take on an American perspective, which they claim is biased against certain ethnic groups of people.</p><p>It wasn't just a random attack, it was a planned attack by Islamic radicals. How important is that for us to remember on this day?</p><p>ESPOSITO: Of course, it's important. Why are you going to change the nationality of the people that attacked us? It's what is. We didn't do that when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, right? We didn't say it was somebody else. It's ridiculous what's going on in this country right now. And we're protecting people and we got to change the narrative, because we don't insult people. It is what it is. Those are the people that attacked us and murdered us.</p><p>INGRAHAM: How often do you think about your brother and your friends who died on that day? How often in the course of a day, Joe?</p><p>ESPOSITO: I think of my brother every day, and every time I'm on that fire truck, when we pull out a quarter, so to the right side of the rig is all the guys' pitch is. It's on memorial. There's not a day that goes by that you're in the firehouse and you don't think of these guys and their families. I mean, I'm very close with all the families and, you know, it's not easy.</p><p>INGRAHAM: Joe, thank you for your service to New York, and thank you for sharing this story tonight with us.</p><p>ESPOSITO: Thank you, Laura, for everything you do.

Everyone remembers the scene where students were reading a book, it was called the Pet Goat. Now, he already knew the first plane, it hit the World Trade Center. At the time, people thought it was an accident somehow. But minutes later, the second plane hit, the White House Chief of Staff, Andy Card needed to tell the president.</p><p>(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)</p><p>(VIDEO PLAYING)</p><p>(END VIDEO CLIP)</p><p>INGRAHAM: A second plane hit the second tower. America is under attack were his words.</p><p>Ari Fleischer was the former White House press secretary, spent the entire day with President Bush. Ari, take us through those first moments. You were there for every minute of it.</p><p>ARI FLEISCHER, FORMER WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: As their motorcade pulled up to the Emma E. Booker Elementary School, I got a page. And it said, a plane has hit the World Trade Center. I thought accident, small plane. And then about 30 seconds before Andy Card walked into that room and whispered in the President's right ear. I was leaning against the left wall of that room, about 20 feet over from the President's left shoulder. And I got a second page. And the second page told me, second plane has hit the second tower. And I just knew at that moment, Laura, that it was terrorism. </p><div class="ad-container desktop ad-h-50 ad-w-300"><div class="ad gam" data-iu="lb20" id="desktop-desk-ad-lb20"></div> <script>

</script></div><p>And it's just start to brace and get ready for everything that I knew would have to unfold as the United States defended itself.</p><p>INGRAHAM: The President had to be whisked away for national security reasons. To the extent you can tell us what happened, please do tell us what happened shortly thereafter.</p><p>FLEISCHER: Well, interestingly, the Secret Service did not think we were under an immediate threat. Otherwise, they never would have let him go to the gym at that school, where he addressed the nation, spoke very briefly, talked about the terrorist attack in our country. Then we quickly got into the motorcade and started flying to Air Force One. That's when the third plane hit the Pentagon. We learned about it in the motorcade. We boarded Air Force One and, Laura, when we boarded, the President was told there are still six aircraft in the sky that have not responded to the order to land.</p><p>So at that moment, we knew aboard Air Force One, three planes had hit their targets, there are six more missiles in the sky. A little while after that, we got another word, another bit of information saying a plane went down near Camp David. Now, Camp David is about 100 miles from Shanksville. But the first report on Air Force One was near Camp David. At the same time, the media was full with stories about there's a car bomb at the State Department. The mall is on fire.</p><p>At 10:32 that morning the president was on the phone with the bunker, and the vice president in the bunker said to him we got a call at the White House saying Angel is next. Angel is the Secret Service code word for Air Force One. That sent a shiver down the pilot's spine of Air Force One, making him think is this an inside job. Who could possibly have the code word for Air Force One? He actually stationed an Air Force security officer at the steps going up to the cockpit on Air Force One to make certain that nobody could come up those steps and take down Air Force One. It was just a swirl of information, much of it wrong, all of it scary. </p><p>INGRAHAM: Ari, I want to play this cockpit recording from United Flight 93 which was the one that was believed to be headed toward either the White House or the Capitol building. </p><p>(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)</p><div class="ad-container desktop ad-h-50 ad-w-300"><div class="ad gam" data-iu="lb21" id="desktop-desk-ad-lb21"></div> <script>

We're looking at Untied 93. </p><p>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Mayday! Mayday!</p><p>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: United 93, Cleveland, if you hear the center, identify.</p><p>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Please sit down. Keep remaining sitting. We have a bomb on board.</p><p>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We've got to get out of here. We're all going to die here.</p><p>(END VIDEO CLIP)</p><p>INGRAHAM: Where were you and the president at that point?</p><p>FLEISCHER: That is, we were aboard Air Force One. We did not hear those audiotapes until days later after September 11th, we didn't hear those on Air Force One. And of course, that's a plane that went down and Shanksville. And that's the heroism of the crew, of the passengers that took down that plane. The 9/11 Commission studied it. They reported that it is never going to be known whether the target of that plane was going to be the White House or the Capitol. The hijackers we're actually arguing about which of those two targets they were going to go after. And we will never have that resolved. </p><p>INGRAHAM: And Ari, the question that was always discussed in the years afterward, who gave the order to be able to take down United 93 or any civilian aircraft if it was understood to be in immediate threat to the president or Washington, or any other installation, how did that unfold? </p><p>FLEISCHER: Yes, anywhere. That originally was a decision made or action taken in the bunker underneath the White House by Dick Cheney that was brought to the president. The president approved it. There is some issue about the sequencing of that decision. I think that the decision was first in the bunker, then it got passed up to the president, the president authorized it. </p><p>The communications on Air Force One that day, this is another one of the little-known stories, was terrible. The phone from the president down to the bunker cut out on several occasions, which is absolutely amazing that Air Force One of all places, which should be designed so at a moment of heightened crisis, everything works perfectly, the communications kept cutting out. </p><p>INGRAHAM: Ari, just one final question. When you see the Taliban in control, the U.S. having to rely on them for security and getting planes out on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, I've got to get your take on that. </p><p>FLEISCHER: Laura, when I saw the pictures of the new government, the Taliban government, in those little snapshot pictures, my first thoughts was those are the very same pictures that I watched the president put an x through as we arrested them or we brought them to justice and killed them.</p><p>And now Joe Biden has restored them to power. That was my first thought. We took those people out. Joe Biden brought them right back. </p><p>INGRAHAM: Ari, I am so happy you came on. We can never forget what happened that day, and thank you so much for your perspective and your memories. </p><p>Biden's bad science and the State Department's infuriating ignorance. </p><p>Raymond Arroyo explains it next.</p><p>(COMMERCIAL BREAK)</p><p>INGRAHAM: It's Friday, and that means it's time for Friday Follies. And for that, we turn to Raymond Arroyo, FOX News contributor. All right, Raymond, Biden had an odd moment at a D.C. public school today? </p><p>RAYMOND ARROYO, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: Odd is putting it lightly. As first lady Dr. Jill Biden spoke, the president lost interest, and then just wandered away, Laura. But when you really turn up the audio, Biden's distraction becomes far more understandable. Watch.</p><p>(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)</p><p>JILL BIDEN, U.S. FIRST LADY: Secretary Cardona and Mayor Bowser -- </p><p>(MUSIC)</p><p>JOE BIDEN, (D) PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Chocolate, chocolate chip. </p><p>(END VIDEO CLIP)</p><p>ARROYO: The chocolate, chocolate golden brick road rocky thing is hard to resist, Laura. That would be hilarious if it weren't for him dropping these vaccine mandates this week. And now he's using children to justify his agenda. </p><p>(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)</p><p>JOE BIDEN, (D) PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I am so disappointed that, particularly some Republican governors, have been so cavalier with the health of these kids, so cavalier with the health of their communities. </p><p>This is -- we are playing for real here. This isn't a game. </p><p>(END VIDEO CLIP)</p><p>ARROYO: But the truth is, Laura, it is Biden who is being cavalier with children's health. There is a brand-new U.K. study, data coming out that shows unvaccinated kids are at a lower risk of both hospitalization and death than even vaccinated adults. So why are they so hot to get vaccines into children who have natural immunity, and it's robust? </p><p>INGRAHAM: Thankfully, we've been saying for a year-and-a-half, they are able to fight off COVID before it gets them in real trouble. Most of the time they don't even know they ever had at. </p><p>So tell us how Biden now also allowed the teachers unions, Raymond, to manipulate the COVID science here. It was on May 13th the CDC said any vaccinated individuals could stop wearing masks indoors and outdoors, didn't they? </p><p>ARROYO: right, but the teachers unions, Laura, didn't like that guidance. </p><p>So newly released e-mails show they started threatening the White House, and they began a P.R. campaign. </p><p>(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)</p><p>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Don't make us be the mask police. </p><p>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: So Randi, what you would like is for the CDC to issue guidance saying that any child under 12 should wear a mask in school and continue to social distance, I think it's three feet now, not six. Would that be helpful? </p><p>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Correct. </p><p>(END VIDEO CLIP)</p><p>ARROYO: So following that, Laura, and after coordination with the teachers union, the CDC revised its guidance on May 15th. All people regardless of vax status had now to wear a mask in a school. This is voodoo science. And by the way this shifting guidance has created the vaccine hesitancy that the president so laments. </p><p>INGRAHAM: It's shocking. What else do we have, Ray? </p><p>ARROYO: This administration is also, Laura, they're living in fantasyland when it comes to the Taliban. Just watch.</p><p>(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)</p><p>NED PRICE, STATE DEPARTMENT SPOKESMAN: Will they form an inclusive government, that will be a key question that we'll look to see as the future Afghan government comes together. And will there be progress for women in girls. </p><p>ANTONY BLINKEN, U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE: Despite professing that a new government would be including, the announced list of names consists exclusively of individuals who are members of the Taliban and their close associates, and no women. </p><p>(END VIDEO CLIP)</p><p>ARROYO: What did they imagine the Taliban was going to do? The Taliban are fundamentalist Islamic jihadists. That is who they are, Laura. They live according to Sharia law. Women have no rights under Sharia law. It's just like those marveling over the beating of journalists or rounding up of Christians. Welcome to Taliban rule. </p><p>INGRAHAM: Welcome to Islamic Fundamentalists, Islamic extremists. This is what we've been seeing for decades and decades, Wahhabist Muslims and these extremists. </p><p>ARROYO: The Taliban were the people we went out to fight 20 years ago, and we accommodated them around the edges, just like this cockamamie Afghan government that we rose up. The Taliban spokesman, by the way, the other day wasn't exactly channeling his inner Gloria Steinem when he said it is not necessary for a woman to be in the cabinet. A woman can't be a minister. They should give birth and raise children according to Islamic ethics. Frankly, Laura, what do people expect? That's the truth, that's reality.</p><p>INGRAHAM: So what do those feminists do here who are supporting Biden? </p><p>Biden is giving the benefit of the doubt, or at least getting help from the Taliban in the way we left, so what are they going to say? They can't say anything. So they just have to say anyone who's conservative who shows up at any rally or event is just like the terrorists on 9/11. That's all they can say. They have no agenda, and you just pointed out, total hypocrisy. </p><p>Raymond, great to see you tonight. Thank you as always. </p><p>And Biden and Kerry's embarrassing, humiliating appeals to the CCP look even worse and the face of Chinese top delegates meeting with the Taliban, of course. Matt Schlapp, Charlie Hurt on that. The Biden administration's latest flop, next. </p><p>(COMMERCIAL BREAK)</p><p>INGRAHAM: I mentioned Biden's call with President Xi at the top of the show, but here is some crucial context. It came after climate envoy John Kerry was totally snubbed by the CCP last week. Top Chinese officials refused to meet Kerry in person at all, the foreign minister instead opting for a video meeting. The only in-person meeting Kerry had according to the VOA was a relatively junior climate negotiator. </p><p>Joining us now is Matt Schlapp, American Conservative Union chair, and Charlie Hurt, a "Washington Times" opinion editor and FOX News contributor.</p><p>Charlie, so China first insulted Blinken and company in Alaska with that little deal about race relations and the United States. They oppressed the Uighurs all year. They hover over Taiwan. And now Kerry goes all the way over there, and they snub him, and Biden rewards them with a 90-minute phone call. They are just laughing at us. </p><p>CHARLES HURT, OPINION EDITOR, "THE WASHINGTON TIMES": Just absolutely laughing at us. And it's important to remember that John Kerry and Joe Biden are two of the greatest foreign policy experts Democrats have ever created. And remember, not only was Kerry secretary of state, but the whole reason Joe Biden got picked to be vice president in the first place is because of his vast expertise when it comes to foreign policy. And your exactly right, the Chinese are absolutely laughing at all of these buffoons. </p><p>INGRAHAM: And at the same time, Matt, you see China moving in for the kill on Afghanistan. So what happened in Afghanistan is going to redound to their benefits because they're always recognizing the Taliban, and I'm sure they see dollar signs in their eyes with the rare-earth materials, et cetera. </p><p>MATT SCHLAPP, CHAIR, AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE UNION: That's right. And Laura, when you have the Biden ministration telling our military that the two top security issues are white supremacy and global climate change, you wonder why we bundled things like an exit in Afghanistan.</p><p>And this whole question about their exploitation of the rare-earth minerals that are in abundance in Afghanistan just shows I think China is doing something like $50 billion worth of projects on coal. They are going to exploit all the natural resources they want, including coal. And John Kerry can fly and try to meet with them, and Charlie has got it exactly right. </p><p>They laugh at America when they tell China that our number one national security threat is global climate change. They know what they intend to do to the globe, and they don't have a clue on how to try to stand up against them. </p><p>INGRAHAM: This is how the White House tried to frame Biden's call with Xi today. </p><p>(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)</p><p>JEN PSAKI, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: The call was very familiar. It was candid. He didn't avoid areas of disagreement, but the tone was not lecturing, nor was it condescending. It was respectful. It was 90 minutes. </p><p>This call -- </p><p>(END VIDEO CLIP)</p><p>INGRAHAM: Do you know what I say to that? I say if only the American people who still had some concerns about the vaccine were treated as well, Charlie. They don't get any respect. They're just lectured to all day long and insulted. </p><p>HURT: Yes, and yelled at. But can you imagine Joe Biden conducting a 90- minute phone call? This is a guy who can't open a pill bottle. You wouldn't trust him to run a lemonade stand, and this guy is going to talk to a killer -- or not a killer, but a guy, a killer negotiator like the Xi Jinping of China and what they expect to get out of any deal with the United States? I can only imagine what Joe Biden managed to give away in that 90-minute phone call. </p><p>INGRAHAM: To me, after reading what China said, the readout from China, Matt, they said that the U.S. side has no intention to change the One China Policy. It's prepared to have more candid exchanges and constructive discussions to avoid unintended conflict, miscalculation, and get U.S.- China relations back on track. OK, what does that mean to you, Matt, to get it back on track? Total submission, correct, after Trump? </p><p>SCHLAPP: That's exactly right. You've got to give up on Hong Kong. And the last place in the world I would like to be living these days is Taiwan. I think one of the big tragedies of what happened with the bungling of Afghanistan is there is a bit of a green light to China to do what they want. I hate even having those words come out of my mouth, but that is the consequences when you project weakness around the globe. And by the way, Laura, don't worry too much, because they Taliban was very businesslike in their negotiations with the Biden administration. </p><p>INGRAHAM: Gentleman, great to see you tonight. Thank you so much. </p><p>And when we return, final thoughts. </p><p>(COMMERCIAL BREAK)</p><p>INGRAHAM: Twenty years since September 11th, we all remember where we were that day. And if you're too young to remember because you weren't born or you were too young, make sure you get the real history of 9/11. Who did this to us and the lessons from that day. The grieving goes on for families and the American family, but our resolve continues. </p><p>This month on <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__LauraIngraham.com&d=DwICAg&c=uw6TLu4hwhHdiGJOgwcWD4AjKQx6zvFcGEsbfiY9-EI&r=sLnWwK2i2UbyfcXJYsUuc--Lys24LotdpPZg2dSOBtU&m=vFc3hM9edozcO99K8Iy2oEmZSsg98SwZRxG15m63zaU&s=W_iRPwqaxXg7jQP8pnFSva-_x_vc7PMxzXwr27HYYns&e">LauraIngraham.com</a>, all of the profits from Freedom Matters gear, this is just one of the cool trucker hats, this is a big seller, will go to the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated. LAURA INGRAHAM, FOX NEWS HOST: I'm Laura Ingraham. And this is the "Ingraham Angle" from Washington tonight. Welcome to the occupation. That's the focus of tonight's "Angle". Now, as the "Angle" has told you before, you can't govern a country you essentially hate. You can only occupy it, rule over it. So when Biden announced a federal vaccine mandate yesterday, his intention was not to promote more trust or to appeal to our patriotic spirit. This wasn't about COVID following the science or implementing sound policy. Heck, the number of infections is already going down as we learned today, and vaccinations are going up. After claiming 70 percent was the threshold for vaccination, after claiming he'd never issue a vaccine mandate, Biden's puppeteers pulled his strings again in the opposite direction. Now, if they cared about COVID, as we told you long ago, they would have shut the southern border down. They would have refused to resettle more than a million migrants across America. If they cared about COVID, they'd be promoting safe therapeutics that actually work. They wouldn't be banning them. And if they cared about COVID, they'd be talking about natural immunity and how ineffective many of these masks are, especially the cloth ones at slowing viral spread. The entire exercise yesterday was political. The White House fight is not against COVID, but against the inevitable collapse of Biden's presidency. He's drowning in bad poll numbers. And Democrats are bracing for a bloodbath in the midterms. Biden's angry, creepy speech was designed to do one thing, to pick a fight with Republican governors in what's an obviously lame attempt to turn his presidency around and change the topic from weeks of humiliation in Afghanistan. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) JOE BIDEN, PRESIDENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: My plan also takes on elected officials and states that are undermining you in these lifesaving actions. If they'll not help, these governors won't help speed the pandemic. I'll use my powers of president to get them out of the way. The unvaccinated overcrowd our hospitals, are overrunning emergency rooms and intensive care units. We cannot let unvaccinated do this progress. Undo it. Turn it back. (END VIDEO CLIP) INGRAHAM: Listen to how this man speaks to America. This doddering old fool who keeps the press insisting that he's - the press again says, he's so compassionate. And speaking of the media, the same goons who spent years baselessly decrying Trump as a tyrannical egomaniac are now celebrating Biden's power grab. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: President Biden, tonight, he is trading out the velvet glove for a hammer. IRWIN REDLENER, PRESIDENT AND CO-FOUNDER, CHILDREN'S HEALTH FUND: This [ph] will go down in the annals of major public health wars against things like smallpox and polio. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He should approach this with an iron fist. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I will slap you with a stick and then move you out of the way, Ron DeSantis, if I have to. (END VIDEO CLIP) INGRAHAM: Slap you with a stick? Or stick you with a jab. These people are sick. They're gleeful because Biden is about to make life miserable for millions of Americans. And they hate you. They hate what you stand for. And they really hate the fact that you won't just shut up and obey. And Biden's no better himself. I mean, imagine if he addressed his fellow Americans with the same level of respect and understanding that he does, let's say, the EU, or even the Taliban, or even the CCP. For those groups, he's always giving them the benefit of the doubt. Biden and his lackeys spend more time criticizing Americans than they do criticizing totalitarian regimes. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) ANTHONY BLINKEN, SECRETARY OF STATE: We continue to maintain channels of communication with the Taliban on issues that are important to us. The expectation is to see inclusivity in government. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You're saying the Taliban is businesslike and professional. JEN PSAKI, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: We had to work with some members of the Taliban to press them and to work in a businesslike manner to get them out. (END VIDEO CLIP) INGRAHAM: And then we learned today that after China spent the better part of the year berating our diplomats, blocking a full investigation into the Wuhan lab, conducting Military exercises near our ally, Taiwan, imprisoning journalists in Hong Kong, carrying out its usual genocide against the Uyghurs, Biden decides to reward them to treat President Xi to a 90-minute personal phone call to break the tension. How embarrassing for America and how empowering for the CCP. Again, contrast that with Biden's sweetness and light approach to the vaccine hesitant. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) BIDEN: What more do you need to see? We've made vaccinations free, safe and convenient. The vaccine is FDA approval. We've been patient but our patience is wearing thin. And your refusal has cost all of us. (END VIDEO CLIP) INGRAHAM: This man is beyond. I mean, just insulting people, the people who pay the bills to keep the lights on in the godforsaken place known as Washington, D.C. right now. So as it stands today, the 20th anniversary of 9/11, we have a president who trusts the CCP and the Taliban more than he trusts the common sense of the American people. Again, they not only despise so much about America, they love everyone who's against us, inside the country and outside the country. This is why the Democrats keep January 6 alive, because for them, it's the darkest hour in our history. It's even worse than 9/11, or even Pearl Harbor. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Pearl Harbor cost maybe 2400 lives than 9/11. Another terrible attack, 3000. But in those cases, our democracy was not in jeopardy. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is one of the worst attacks on our democracy in our history. BIDEN: Worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War. (END VIDEO CLIP) INGRAHAM: Now, this is why they're covering this stupid so-called justice for J6 rally next week, like some open rebellion led by highly-trained revolutionaries. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) JAKE TAPPER, CNN HOST: MAGA prepares to rally in support of the insurrectionists from January 6. WOLF BLITZER, CNN HOST: Security officials are not taking this rally next week lightly at all. They're deeply concerned. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Given how their last rally at the Capitol went in January, there's obviously plenty of concern. JIM SCIUTTO, CNN HOST: (inaudible) are you worried that there may be a repeat of that violence, that danger? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I think we have to be prepared for that. (END VIDEO CLIP) INGRAHAM: Oh, it's just shameless. I mean, do you think they've heard about this rally? I didn't hear about it, so I heard about it on CNN. Now, remember, if these people actually cared about securing the homeland, they wouldn't be pushing for open borders, they wouldn't be letting untold number of Afghan refugees pour in who are unvetted. Thank you very much. No wonder we - so many people see this justice for J6 rally, again, that none of us have heard of as even a false flag operation. That's how bad it is. People actually think that. Regardless of who's actually behind this rally parade, whatever it is, Pelosi is already using it as an excuse to throw up new fencing around the Capitol building. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) REP. NANCY PELOSI (D-CA): We intend to have the integrity of the Capitol be intact. Because what happened on January 6 was such an assault on this beautiful Capitol. And now, these people are coming back to praise the people who were out to kill, out to kill members of Congress. (END VIDEO CLIP) INGRAHAM: No one has heard of any of this supposedly domestic terrorist supposedly organizing this rally. Have any big name conservative signed down? Of course not. Obviously, there's nothing legitimate about it. But the left thinks that you're stupid enough to believe this is the mainstream of American conservatism. And by the way, whatever happens big or small, it's all going to be worse than 9/11. It's pathetic. The left's true goal in hyping the upcoming demonstration is some sort of terror plot is to delegitimize all conservative events, real conservative events. They want you to afraid to show up in support of your favorite candidates going into 2022. They want you cowed, intimidated and demoralized. This is where the Democratic Party of 2021 has taken America, were occupied by a ruling class that loathes Americans who don't want handouts. They don't want to take orders either. These Democrats don't want you to be happy and free. They prefer, frankly, if you're miserable and afraid. That way they have all the power. They want to strip you of your independence, so you can be dependent on them, the government. And I sure as hell I'm not going to give in, I'm not going to stop fighting to save this country, all that is great about it. The question is, will you? And that's the "Angle". Joining me now is Kentucky Senator Rand Paul. Senator, I'm going to get to the thrust of my "Angle" in just a moment with you. But first, I need to get your reaction to this reporting late today from the New York Times. The drone strike that we were told took out an ISIS facilitator in Afghanistan actually killed a U.S. affiliated aid worker, and nine others, including much of his family, seven children. The car that the Pentagon and the White House told us was filled with explosives, explosives that allegedly caused secondary explosions, it was actually filled with water jugs according to the New York Times investigation. Fox has not independently confirmed this, but there were numerous eyewitnesses on site that night who did. Senator, your reaction? SEN. RAND PAUL (R-KY): You know, if true it's - if it's true, it's another sad instance of just the most incompetent withdrawal we've ever seen in our history. But yes, we'll wait - await the facts as they come forward. But yes, I'm not surprised that we are - we saw a bombing that was done to show that we aren't as feckless as it looked like. We were in the withdrawal. And in the end they may have made a mistake in it. That'll be one more disastrous fact after another's. I hope it's not true. But if it is true, that's devastating. I'm going to tell the truth about it, if it is. INGRAHAM: Yes. And much easier always to tell the truth initially. But I think it is worth it for Americans to listen back to the Pentagon's initial comments about what went down in the White House, and the Pentagon, all of it. This was just two weeks back. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HANK TAYLOR, JOINT STAFF FOR REGIONAL OPERATIONS DEPUTY DIRECTOR: The self defense strike successfully hit the target near Kabul airport. Significant secondary explosions from the targeted vehicle indicated the presence of a substantial amount of explosive material. PSAKI: I will note that in the CENTCOM statement that they put out yesterday, what they - last night, I should say, what they noted is that there was also the explosion - there were explosives in this vehicle that could have led to additional damage. (END VIDEO CLIP) INGRAHAM: Now, these are the same, I guess, Intel reports being fed to these White House staffers and the Pentagon that are also feeding information about a potential domestic terror threat next week at a rally that no one's ever heard of. Like, I don't trust any of these people at this point, Senator, which is terrifying at the 20th anniversary of 9/11. PAUL: You know, the one thing that we did know and we did have eyes on that we could have blown up were all of the helicopters we left, all of the planes we left, all the Humvees, armored personnel. There are a lot of things that could have been blown up on the way out, even if you hadn't predicted the Taliban was going to take over. Certainly, that equipment should have been destroyed on the way out, instead an isolated attack somewhere which may or may not have killed its intended target. But this has been a longstanding problem with some of the drone attacks is, they may even sometimes get their target. But if they get 10 or 15 innocent people in the same neighborhood as the target, it ends up creating antipathy that really it may in the end be worse than the initial strike. INGRAHAM: Yes. It's hard to imagine the New York Times being as friendly as it is to the Biden administration Friday afternoon, reporting with such specificity of drone attack that in part hit its intended target. I don't think it hit any of its intended target, not with this strike at least. But I want to get back to my "Angle", senator, because, again, on the on the eve of 9/11, the disgraced former FBI official, Andrew McCabe, he is focused on a different kind of terrorist. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) ANDREW MCCABE, FORMER FBI DEPUTY DIRECTOR: The work of countering terrorism never stopped. The upcoming rally on the 18th, or when a particular anniversary, a significant anniversary is upon us, like the anniversary of 9/11, any events that could be triggering or could cause extremists to maybe want to mark those events with acts of violence, you get focused on those. (END VIDEO CLIP) INGRAHAM: Conflating 9/11 with some rally that least - and under the conservatives I know have ever heard of. PAUL: Yes. I think most of what they've done is to construct an enemy that needs to be so important that we need a fence around the Capitol. And I think that's to redirect our view away from Portland and Seattle and Chicago. Look, even in Louisville, Kentucky, we have more deaths per capita than Chicago now. So they're taking us away from the great problems that we have across this country and try to redirect it towards something that was obviously a mistake to trespass in the Capitol. But wasn't some sort of civil war they're trying to make it out to them. INGRAHAM: And, Senator, another way, I think they want to keep us cowed, is through COVID. And this push to mandate vaccinations, no matter what, no matter whether we're 12 years old, or whether you had COVID, there was an exchange involving Sanjay Gupta and Anthony Fauci, which I know you're going to find of interest. Watch. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) SANJAY GUPTA, CNN CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT: There was a study that came out of Israel about natural immunity. And basically, the headline was that natural immunity provides a lot of protection, even better than the vaccines alone. Should they also get the vaccine? ANTHONY FAUCI, DIRECTOR, NIAID: I don't have a really firm answer for you on that. But that is something that we need to sit down and discuss seriously because you very appropriately pointed out, it is an issue. (END VIDEO CLIP) INGRAHAM: OK. People have been asking him about this for a better part of a year and they still don't have a firm answer on it. Senator Paul, what is going on here? PAUL: I have asked Fauci again and again and again. The evidence is that over 100 million Americans have had COVID. They have natural immunity. Instead, Fauci is out there all over the place saying, he would have gone even farther than Biden on the mandates. Well, this is a disservice to every - does this Fauci not remember the hospital workers who risked their lives when there was no vaccine to take care of COVID patients? Thousands of hospital workers got COVID, 100 million Americans got COVID. And he just swipes them aside and says, submit to the state, you must be vaccinated even though all of the signs, now says and points towards natural immunity being as good as the vaccine or better. So instead of giving us a new mandate yesterday, the one thing that President Biden could have done, which really needs to be done is speed up the FDA application for a new vaccine to the new variant. Realize that the boosters that they're approving are boosters to the previous infection from a year ago, and they're not working very well. What we really need is the FDA to speed up the process. We need what Donald Trump did in his last year to get a brand new vaccine to the variant as soon as possible. We were overcoming COVID until the virus began to escape the vaccine. Now the virus is escaping the vaccine, we need a new vaccine. INGRAHAM: Well, we have a lot of people immune from prior exposure and they're immune broadly across. It looks like multiple variants. Senator, thank you very much on this busy news night. And in moments, we remember that tremendous loss and sacrifice as we approach to 20th anniversary of 9/11. One of the heroes from that day shares his story. And former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer recounts what it was like traveling on Air Force One that day with the President. Don't go away. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: American 11, are you trying to call? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The cockpit is not answering their phone. Our number 1 has been stabbed and our 5 has been stabbed. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Dan Bueno calling from Boston, Tennessee. I have a situation with American 11, a possible hijack. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: What's going on Betty? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The aircraft's erratic again. Flying very erratically. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Betty, talk to me. Betty, are you there? Betty? Betty? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I'm on 83rd floor. I'm going to die, aren't I? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: No, no, no. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Ma'am, say your prayers. You got to think positive because you got to help each other get off the floor. Now. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I'm going to die I know. (END VIDEO CLIP) INGRAHAM: It's so hard to hear those voices, even twenty years ago. I mean, it's been 20 years since 2977 people died in the terror attacks on 9/11. Husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers. The pain for families for the American family seemed insurmountable at the time. And all these years later, it still really hurts. And no matter what you were doing that day, I know you remember exactly where you were when you first heard that America was under attack. Now, I was in Washington, D.C. and I remember riding my bike over to the Pentagon after I first heard that the Pentagon had been hit. I wanted to see it. Now, when I got there, and when I was watching, surrounded by a few other people, I couldn't even speak. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. And of course, in New York, the destruction was so much worse. Police, firefighters, EMTs, anyone who could help rushed to the World Trade Center. And my next guest Joseph Esposito is a New York City firefighter from rescue company five who did just that. Joe, I can't believe, I know I've talked to you before. It is - it's so painful to hear the audio and see the video from that day. But you were there. Take us through that scene when you arrived. JOSEPH ESPOSITO, 9/11 FIRST RESPONDER: Well, thank you, Laura, for having me on here. I can't believe it's 20 years, like you said before. But when we got it at the firehouse, when I first got to the firehouse to - of all the hundreds of people that were in front. I saw my father right away. And he was looking for me and he says Michael's work and Michael's work. And I said, ok, I'm going to go over there now and I'm going to find them and I'll bring them home tonight. Don't worry about it. We're good. But when we got off the ferry there, thousands of people covered in and sit clapping for us like we just invaded the - like the Marines just landed and it was just unbelievable, like out of a movie scene. And as you got closer and closer, and I got to the seat of the pile, it was just incredible construction. Fire trucks, police cars, crushed, everything. Alarms going off. It was just - I can never imagine, I never imagined that I would be able to be part of that. INGRAHAM: And you lost your brother, Michael, a cousin, 11 members of your firefighter brothers, police, others you knew. What do Americans 20 years later, given your losses, what do they need to not forget about what really happened that day? ESPOSITO: Well, Laura, day two right after right after it happened, I mean, there was a feeling in America that I never thought I would experience. Everybody was kind to everybody. They were cheering for the uniformed forces. Everybody was helping everybody. And it's just a shame, we needed a disaster for that to happen. It should be like that every day. INGRAHAM: There are school districts in the United States. We featured what's happening in Virginia, education system in Virginia, where the consultants and people on the payroll actually urging schools to teach kind of a more acceptable version of 9/11, one that doesn't necessarily take on an American perspective, which they claim is biased against certain ethnic groups of people. It wasn't just a random attack, it was a planned attack by Islamic radicals. How important is that for us to remember on this day? ESPOSITO: Of course, it's important. Why are you going to change the nationality of the people that attacked us? It's what is. We didn't do that when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, right? We didn't say it was somebody else. It's ridiculous what's going on in this country right now. And we're protecting people and we got to change the narrative, because we don't insult people. It is what it is. Those are the people that attacked us and murdered us. INGRAHAM: How often do you think about your brother and your friends who died on that day? How often in the course of a day, Joe? ESPOSITO: I think of my brother every day, and every time I'm on that fire truck, when we pull out a quarter, so to the right side of the rig is all the guys' pitch is. It's on memorial. There's not a day that goes by that you're in the firehouse and you don't think of these guys and their families. I mean, I'm very close with all the families and, you know, it's not easy. INGRAHAM: Joe, thank you for your service to New York, and thank you for sharing this story tonight with us. ESPOSITO: Thank you, Laura, for everything you do. Thank you very much. INGRAHAM: And that same morning, President Bush was in Florida visiting Emma E. Booker Elementary. Everyone remembers the scene where students were reading a book, it was called the Pet Goat. Now, he already knew the first plane, it hit the World Trade Center. At the time, people thought it was an accident somehow. But minutes later, the second plane hit, the White House Chief of Staff, Andy Card needed to tell the president. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) (VIDEO PLAYING) (END VIDEO CLIP) INGRAHAM: A second plane hit the second tower. America is under attack were his words. Ari Fleischer was the former White House press secretary, spent the entire day with President Bush. Ari, take us through those first moments. You were there for every minute of it. ARI FLEISCHER, FORMER WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: As their motorcade pulled up to the Emma E. Booker Elementary School, I got a page. And it said, a plane has hit the World Trade Center. I thought accident, small plane. And then about 30 seconds before Andy Card walked into that room and whispered in the President's right ear. I was leaning against the left wall of that room, about 20 feet over from the President's left shoulder. And I got a second page. And the second page told me, second plane has hit the second tower. And I just knew at that moment, Laura, that it was terrorism. And it's just start to brace and get ready for everything that I knew would have to unfold as the United States defended itself. INGRAHAM: The President had to be whisked away for national security reasons. To the extent you can tell us what happened, please do tell us what happened shortly thereafter. FLEISCHER: Well, interestingly, the Secret Service did not think we were under an immediate threat. Otherwise, they never would have let him go to the gym at that school, where he addressed the nation, spoke very briefly, talked about the terrorist attack in our country. Then we quickly got into the motorcade and started flying to Air Force One. That's when the third plane hit the Pentagon. We learned about it in the motorcade. We boarded Air Force One and, Laura, when we boarded, the President was told there are still six aircraft in the sky that have not responded to the order to land. So at that moment, we knew aboard Air Force One, three planes had hit their targets, there are six more missiles in the sky. A little while after that, we got another word, another bit of information saying a plane went down near Camp David. Now, Camp David is about 100 miles from Shanksville. But the first report on Air Force One was near Camp David. At the same time, the media was full with stories about there's a car bomb at the State Department. The mall is on fire. At 10:32 that morning the president was on the phone with the bunker, and the vice president in the bunker said to him we got a call at the White House saying Angel is next. Angel is the Secret Service code word for Air Force One. That sent a shiver down the pilot's spine of Air Force One, making him think is this an inside job. Who could possibly have the code word for Air Force One? He actually stationed an Air Force security officer at the steps going up to the cockpit on Air Force One to make certain that nobody could come up those steps and take down Air Force One. It was just a swirl of information, much of it wrong, all of it scary. INGRAHAM: Ari, I want to play this cockpit recording from United Flight 93 which was the one that was believed to be headed toward either the White House or the Capitol building. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: United 93, that traffic for you is 1:00, 12 miles east bound 370. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Negative contact. We're looking at Untied 93. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Mayday! Mayday! UNIDENTIFIED MALE: United 93, Cleveland, if you hear the center, identify. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Please sit down. Keep remaining sitting. We have a bomb on board. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We've got to get out of here. We're all going to die here. (END VIDEO CLIP) INGRAHAM: Where were you and the president at that point? FLEISCHER: That is, we were aboard Air Force One. We did not hear those audiotapes until days later after September 11th, we didn't hear those on Air Force One. And of course, that's a plane that went down and Shanksville. And that's the heroism of the crew, of the passengers that took down that plane. The 9/11 Commission studied it. They reported that it is never going to be known whether the target of that plane was going to be the White House or the Capitol. The hijackers we're actually arguing about which of those two targets they were going to go after. And we will never have that resolved. INGRAHAM: And Ari, the question that was always discussed in the years afterward, who gave the order to be able to take down United 93 or any civilian aircraft if it was understood to be in immediate threat to the president or Washington, or any other installation, how did that unfold? FLEISCHER: Yes, anywhere. That originally was a decision made or action taken in the bunker underneath the White House by Dick Cheney that was brought to the president. The president approved it. There is some issue about the sequencing of that decision. I think that the decision was first in the bunker, then it got passed up to the president, the president authorized it. The communications on Air Force One that day, this is another one of the little-known stories, was terrible. The phone from the president down to the bunker cut out on several occasions, which is absolutely amazing that Air Force One of all places, which should be designed so at a moment of heightened crisis, everything works perfectly, the communications kept cutting out. INGRAHAM: Ari, just one final question. When you see the Taliban in control, the U.S. having to rely on them for security and getting planes out on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, I've got to get your take on that. FLEISCHER: Laura, when I saw the pictures of the new government, the Taliban government, in those little snapshot pictures, my first thoughts was those are the very same pictures that I watched the president put an x through as we arrested them or we brought them to justice and killed them. And now Joe Biden has restored them to power. That was my first thought. We took those people out. Joe Biden brought them right back. INGRAHAM: Ari, I am so happy you came on. We can never forget what happened that day, and thank you so much for your perspective and your memories. Biden's bad science and the State Department's infuriating ignorance. Raymond Arroyo explains it next. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) INGRAHAM: It's Friday, and that means it's time for Friday Follies. And for that, we turn to Raymond Arroyo, FOX News contributor. All right, Raymond, Biden had an odd moment at a D.C. public school today? RAYMOND ARROYO, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: Odd is putting it lightly. As first lady Dr. Jill Biden spoke, the president lost interest, and then just wandered away, Laura. But when you really turn up the audio, Biden's distraction becomes far more understandable. Watch. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) JILL BIDEN, U.S. FIRST LADY: Secretary Cardona and Mayor Bowser -- (MUSIC) JOE BIDEN, (D) PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Chocolate, chocolate chip. (END VIDEO CLIP) ARROYO: The chocolate, chocolate golden brick road rocky thing is hard to resist, Laura. That would be hilarious if it weren't for him dropping these vaccine mandates this week. And now he's using children to justify his agenda. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) JOE BIDEN, (D) PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I am so disappointed that, particularly some Republican governors, have been so cavalier with the health of these kids, so cavalier with the health of their communities. This is -- we are playing for real here. This isn't a game. (END VIDEO CLIP) ARROYO: But the truth is, Laura, it is Biden who is being cavalier with children's health. There is a brand-new U.K. study, data coming out that shows unvaccinated kids are at a lower risk of both hospitalization and death than even vaccinated adults. So why are they so hot to get vaccines into children who have natural immunity, and it's robust? INGRAHAM: Thankfully, we've been saying for a year-and-a-half, they are able to fight off COVID before it gets them in real trouble. Most of the time they don't even know they ever had at. So tell us how Biden now also allowed the teachers unions, Raymond, to manipulate the COVID science here. It was on May 13th the CDC said any vaccinated individuals could stop wearing masks indoors and outdoors, didn't they? ARROYO: right, but the teachers unions, Laura, didn't like that guidance. So newly released e-mails show they started threatening the White House, and they began a P.R. campaign. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Don't make us be the mask police. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: So Randi, what you would like is for the CDC to issue guidance saying that any child under 12 should wear a mask in school and continue to social distance, I think it's three feet now, not six. Would that be helpful? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Correct. (END VIDEO CLIP) ARROYO: So following that, Laura, and after coordination with the teachers union, the CDC revised its guidance on May 15th. All people regardless of vax status had now to wear a mask in a school. This is voodoo science. And by the way this shifting guidance has created the vaccine hesitancy that the president so laments. INGRAHAM: It's shocking. What else do we have, Ray? ARROYO: This administration is also, Laura, they're living in fantasyland when it comes to the Taliban. Just watch. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) NED PRICE, STATE DEPARTMENT SPOKESMAN: Will they form an inclusive government, that will be a key question that we'll look to see as the future Afghan government comes together. And will there be progress for women in girls. ANTONY BLINKEN, U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE: Despite professing that a new government would be including, the announced list of names consists exclusively of individuals who are members of the Taliban and their close associates, and no women. (END VIDEO CLIP) ARROYO: What did they imagine the Taliban was going to do? The Taliban are fundamentalist Islamic jihadists. That is who they are, Laura. They live according to Sharia law. Women have no rights under Sharia law. It's just like those marveling over the beating of journalists or rounding up of Christians. Welcome to Taliban rule. INGRAHAM: Welcome to Islamic Fundamentalists, Islamic extremists. This is what we've been seeing for decades and decades, Wahhabist Muslims and these extremists. ARROYO: The Taliban were the people we went out to fight 20 years ago, and we accommodated them around the edges, just like this cockamamie Afghan government that we rose up. The Taliban spokesman, by the way, the other day wasn't exactly channeling his inner Gloria Steinem when he said it is not necessary for a woman to be in the cabinet. A woman can't be a minister. They should give birth and raise children according to Islamic ethics. Frankly, Laura, what do people expect? That's the truth, that's reality. INGRAHAM: So what do those feminists do here who are supporting Biden? Biden is giving the benefit of the doubt, or at least getting help from the Taliban in the way we left, so what are they going to say? They can't say anything. So they just have to say anyone who's conservative who shows up at any rally or event is just like the terrorists on 9/11. That's all they can say. They have no agenda, and you just pointed out, total hypocrisy. Raymond, great to see you tonight. Thank you as always. And Biden and Kerry's embarrassing, humiliating appeals to the CCP look even worse and the face of Chinese top delegates meeting with the Taliban, of course. Matt Schlapp, Charlie Hurt on that. The Biden administration's latest flop, next. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) INGRAHAM: I mentioned Biden's call with President Xi at the top of the show, but here is some crucial context. It came after climate envoy John Kerry was totally snubbed by the CCP last week. Top Chinese officials refused to meet Kerry in person at all, the foreign minister instead opting for a video meeting. The only in-person meeting Kerry had according to the VOA was a relatively junior climate negotiator. Joining us now is Matt Schlapp, American Conservative Union chair, and Charlie Hurt, a "Washington Times" opinion editor and FOX News contributor. Charlie, so China first insulted Blinken and company in Alaska with that little deal about race relations and the United States. They oppressed the Uighurs all year. They hover over Taiwan. And now Kerry goes all the way over there, and they snub him, and Biden rewards them with a 90-minute phone call. They are just laughing at us. CHARLES HURT, OPINION EDITOR, "THE WASHINGTON TIMES": Just absolutely laughing at us. And it's important to remember that John Kerry and Joe Biden are two of the greatest foreign policy experts Democrats have ever created. And remember, not only was Kerry secretary of state, but the whole reason Joe Biden got picked to be vice president in the first place is because of his vast expertise when it comes to foreign policy. And your exactly right, the Chinese are absolutely laughing at all of these buffoons. INGRAHAM: And at the same time, Matt, you see China moving in for the kill on Afghanistan. So what happened in Afghanistan is going to redound to their benefits because they're always recognizing the Taliban, and I'm sure they see dollar signs in their eyes with the rare-earth materials, et cetera. MATT SCHLAPP, CHAIR, AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE UNION: That's right. And Laura, when you have the Biden ministration telling our military that the two top security issues are white supremacy and global climate change, you wonder why we bundled things like an exit in Afghanistan. And this whole question about their exploitation of the rare-earth minerals that are in abundance in Afghanistan just shows I think China is doing something like $50 billion worth of projects on coal. They are going to exploit all the natural resources they want, including coal. And John Kerry can fly and try to meet with them, and Charlie has got it exactly right. They laugh at America when they tell China that our number one national security threat is global climate change. They know what they intend to do to the globe, and they don't have a clue on how to try to stand up against them. INGRAHAM: This is how the White House tried to frame Biden's call with Xi today. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) JEN PSAKI, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: The call was very familiar. It was candid. He didn't avoid areas of disagreement, but the tone was not lecturing, nor was it condescending. It was respectful. It was 90 minutes. This call -- (END VIDEO CLIP) INGRAHAM: Do you know what I say to that? I say if only the American people who still had some concerns about the vaccine were treated as well, Charlie. They don't get any respect. They're just lectured to all day long and insulted. HURT: Yes, and yelled at. But can you imagine Joe Biden conducting a 90- minute phone call? This is a guy who can't open a pill bottle. You wouldn't trust him to run a lemonade stand, and this guy is going to talk to a killer -- or not a killer, but a guy, a killer negotiator like the Xi Jinping of China and what they expect to get out of any deal with the United States? I can only imagine what Joe Biden managed to give away in that 90-minute phone call. INGRAHAM: To me, after reading what China said, the readout from China, Matt, they said that the U.S. side has no intention to change the One China Policy. It's prepared to have more candid exchanges and constructive discussions to avoid unintended conflict, miscalculation, and get U.S.- China relations back on track. OK, what does that mean to you, Matt, to get it back on track? Total submission, correct, after Trump? SCHLAPP: That's exactly right. You've got to give up on Hong Kong. And the last place in the world I would like to be living these days is Taiwan. I think one of the big tragedies of what happened with the bungling of Afghanistan is there is a bit of a green light to China to do what they want. I hate even having those words come out of my mouth, but that is the consequences when you project weakness around the globe. And by the way, Laura, don't worry too much, because they Taliban was very businesslike in their negotiations with the Biden administration. INGRAHAM: Gentleman, great to see you tonight. Thank you so much. And when we return, final thoughts. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) INGRAHAM: Twenty years since September 11th, we all remember where we were that day. And if you're too young to remember because you weren't born or you were too young, make sure you get the real history of 9/11. Who did this to us and the lessons from that day. The grieving goes on for families and the American family, but our resolve continues. This month on LauraIngraham.com, all of the profits from Freedom Matters gear, this is just one of the cool trucker hats, this is a big seller, will go to the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation. The mission there is to honor the sacrifice of firefighters Stephen Siller. He laid down his life to save others on September 11th, the ultimate sacrifice. An amazing man and amazing family, so many incredible stories. Thank you for watching, and remember, it's America now and forever. Content and Programming Copyright 2021 Fox News Network, LLC.

Follow her on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/martadhanis">@MartaDhanis</a></p></div></div></div> | Miya Ponsetto, the woman who falsely accused an African-American teenager of stealing her phone at a Manhattan hotel, has now pleaded guilty to one count after entering a deal with city prosecutors and will avoid jail time. By pleading "guilty" to the top count against her of unlawful imprisonment as a hate crime, she avoids jail time. The agreement implies that she has to abide by the terms of her probation in California stemming from a different case, remain in therapy, and avoid more trouble with the law. In a statement, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg called her behavior "outrageous." "As a Black man, I have personally experienced racial profiling countless times in my life and I sympathize with the young man victimized in this incident," Bragg said, adding that this plea ensures "appropriate accountability" and that "this conduct does not reoccur". NEW YORK MS-13'S ‘LITTLE DEVIL’ CONVICTED IN AMBUSH MURDER OF 4 YOUNG MEN If she fails to comply with the plea conditions, she faces up to 1 1/3 to 4 years in state prison. Ponsetto, who lives in California, had to appear in person Monday at Manhattan Supreme Court. The 23-year-old woman showed up in court wearing an all-beige outfit and colorful nail polish. The incident happened on December 26, 2020, at four-star Arlo Soho Hotel and was caught on camera by the victim’s father, jazz trumpeter Keyon Harrold. In the video, Ponsetto is seen in the hotel lobby accusing Keyon Harrold Jr., then 14, of stealing her iPhone. Then, prosecutors say, she repeatedly attacked and dragged him to the floor, despite attempts of numerous witnesses to intervene. The woman’s iPhone was later found and returned by an Uber driver. FLORIDA DAD CHASES AFTER MAN ARRESTED FOR RECORDING GIRLS IN WALMART DRESSING ROOM Prior to the incident in New York, Ponsetto has been charged in three other incidents in California during 2020 that include public intoxication in Los Angeles after an alleged altercation, and fighting with police officers during a DUI arrest.

The natural phenomenon hit near Tewksbury this morning at around 9:49 a.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Tewksbury is located in Hunterdon County, which is about 35 miles west of New York City. It is unclear if the seismic activity was an aftershock from the April 5 earthquake. That event was centered near Whitehouse Station, which is about five miles south of Tewksbury, and was felt from Washington D.C. to Maine, according to the USGS. IS THE EAST COAST ON THE BRINK OF A MAJOR EARTHQUAKE — AND ARE WE PREPARED? Ashley Papa, a Fox News Digital editor living in New Jersey, says she felt Saturday’s quake rock her home. "I was in the kitchen with my toddler and all of a sudden we started feeling the house shake pretty strongly and we heard that same rumbling sound from the day of the [April 5] earthquake," Papa said. More than 130 aftershocks have been recorded in the region since the April 5 rattler, which was estimated to have been felt by more than 42 million people in 14 states. "I’d have to say it was the strongest aftershock since that day except this time I knew what I was feeling, unlike that Friday when I had no idea what was going on," Papa said. 4.8 MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE STRIKES NEW JERSEY, SHAKING BUILDINGS IN SURROUNDING STATES "I think we’re all just in shock that this is still going on. I figured we would never feel anything like this again for another hundred years and here we are about a month later still feeling strong aftershocks, it just makes us wonder what is going on? And of course, our dog is terrified and will likely never be the same again." Earthquakes are rare along the East Coast, with the most powerful one in the last 100 years hitting in August 2011, clocking 5.8 on the Richter scale. It was centered in Virginia and felt from Washington, D.C. to Boston. The recent quakes follow a 1.7 magnitude earthquake in New York City on Jan. 2. Professor John Ebel, a seismologist in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Boston College, told Fox News Digital recently that a quake above 5.0 on the Richter scale generally strikes once every 120 years.

Drainage pumps, food and other supplies were expected to arrive as early as next week, U.S. Ambassador Roland Bullen (search) told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. The Defense Force, meanwhile, was standing by to evacuate as many as 20,000 people from towns east of the capital, Georgetown, said Brig. Gen. Edward Collins, the army chief. More than 40 inches of rain have fallen in the former British colony since Dec. 26, with more than 27 inches this month. About 8 inches is normal for January. President Bharrat Jagdeo (search) has said the floods have affected more than half the population of 750,000. Most Guyanese live on the low-lying coast. He has appealed to the U.S. Southern Command to have U.S. troops bring in power generators and small boats. Waters were rising in several towns, suggesting two dams east of Georgetown were spilling over, officials said. Another dam northwest of the capital also was in danger of bursting. Collins said residents could be moved to a military camp about 30 miles south of Georgetown. The evacuation could come as early as next week. "We are just waiting on the order, but we are ready," he said. In some western districts of the capital, engineers worked with residents to seal more than a dozen breaches in a dam where torrents of black water had poured onto farmlands. Many farmers said they expect to lose cassava and fruit trees. "I am living in one room and my 59 chickens (are) in another," said farmer Pamela Persaud, 51. The heaviest rains in a century already have forced thousands of people from homes in Georgetown and coastal villages. Most are staying with friends or relatives, though at least 5,000 are sheltering in schools, churches and public buildings. While prices on basic goods and transportation more than quadrupled, the government and aid agencies hurried to distribute 5,000 blankets and thousands of hygiene kits. Volunteers were also delivering water and preparing meals, mostly for children and the elderly. Authorities were still asking for boats to ferry food deep into isolated villages and to evacuate the sick and elderly from snake-infested waters. At least six people have been killed, including three people whose bodies were found floating outside their homes Saturday and a six-year-old boy who drowned Thursday. Brazil, which neighbors Guyana to the south, has flown in 16 tons of food and other supplies and has promised more next week. | a9182572-86dd-5d91-9839-46b1e68fec6a | 05/19/25 |

Mold can be particularly problematic for those with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions.</p><p><i>The solution:</i> Mold thrives in warm, wet conditions, so small-scale cases typically can be prevented by keeping clothes, bathrooms, and kitchen areas dry. However, if you notice signs of a dorm-wide infestation—such as a diffuse mildewy smell—Brinchman says to steer clear.</p><p>"Students should treat it like a burning building and get out," she says.</p><div class="ad-container tablet ad-h-50 ad-w-300"><div class="ad gam" data-iu="lb5" id="tablet-tw-ad-lb5"></div> <script>

</script></div><p><i>The solution: </i>Wear flip-flops in communal showers and hallways. “You don’t know if the guy before you had it,” says LeCorgne. Make sure to dry in between the toes to prevent fungal growth.</p><p><b>7. The hazard: Sleep deprivation<br/></b>Sleep can be hard to come by in college. Students are notorious for pulling all-nighters to finish papers and projects, and in a 2001 study in the Journal of American College Health, 73% of college students reported having occasional sleep problems.</p><div class="ad-container desktop ad-h-50 ad-w-300"><div class="ad gam" data-iu="lb5" id="desktop-desk-ad-lb5"></div> <script>

The hazard: Binge drinking<br/></b>The lack of parents on college campuses can turn newly unleashed freshmen into binge-drinking party animals. According to a 2005 U.S. <a class="r_lapi" href="http://www.foxnews.com/topics/politics/justice-department.htm#r_src=ramp">Department of Justice</a> report, more than 90% of the alcohol consumed by people under 21 is in the form of binge drinking.</p><p>Drinking to excess is extremely dangerous and potentially fatal, and it can also lead to problems in the classroom.

The <a class="r_lapi" href="http://www.foxnews.com/topics/health/cancer/cervical-cancer.htm#r_src=ramp">human papillomavirus</a> (HPV) is believed to be the most common STD on campus, followed by chlamydia.</p><p>Contrary to what some people think, you cannot contract an STD from a toilet seat or bed sheets. “That’s just not a possibility,” the University of Arizona's LeCorgne says.

The hazard: MeningitisSharing tiny dorm rooms—and cans of beer—is a surefire way to spread the germs that cause bacterial meningitis, a serious and potentially fatal infection that affects the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. "Living in a dorm room is like living in a petri dish,” says Lisette LeCorgne, a nurse practitioner at the University of Arizona Campus Health Services. Like the flu, bacterial meningitis can be spread through saliva (by kissing and sharing glasses, for instance). The solution: LeCorgne advises students to get a meningitis vaccination and to wash their hands frequently, wipe down countertops and other shared surfaces, avoid close contact with someone who is sick, eat healthy, and get plenty of sleep. 2. The hazard: "The kissing disease"Mononucleosis, also known as "the kissing disease," can be a nightmare for some college students. It can put them in bed for four to six weeks, says LeCorgne. But others might not even realize they have it. Unlike the flu, “you have to work a little bit to give someone mono,” explains LeCorgne. It’s usually passed on through close contact like kissing or sharing drinks. The solution: Avoid mouth-to-mouth contact and constantly wash hands. Recovering from mono usually means weeks of bed rest, which can really put a new freshman out of the game in the first semester. 3. The hazard: Colds and fluThe petri dish of a dorm room is the perfect breeding ground for the flu (normal and swine) and the common cold. These respiratory conditions are passed through vapor droplets, infecting everything they touch, such as a desktop or the remote control. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the most reported cases of swine flu in 2009 were in the 5–24 age bracket, where there were 26.7 cases per 100,000 people. The solution: Hand-washing is your best bet against flu and colds. A new study suggests that, when combined with regular hand-washing, wearing face masks may help prevent the spread of the flu. 4. The hazard: MoldStudents needn't worry about a little mildew on the shower curtain, but mold infestation—in walls, for example—can be extremely hazardous to your health, says Susan Brinchman, the founder and executive director of the Center for School Mold Help. Mold can be particularly problematic for those with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions. The solution: Mold thrives in warm, wet conditions, so small-scale cases typically can be prevented by keeping clothes, bathrooms, and kitchen areas dry. However, if you notice signs of a dorm-wide infestation—such as a diffuse mildewy smell—Brinchman says to steer clear. "Students should treat it like a burning building and get out," she says. _________________________________________________________________________ More From Health.com:Beat the Top Summer Health Hazards Top 10 Myths About Safe Sex and Sexual Health Dating Dilemmas: 8 Tips for Telling Your Partner a Health Secret _________________________________________________________________________ 5. The hazard: BedbugsThese tiny, blood-sucking bugs are not unusual on campus. According to a 2007 survey conducted by a University of Kentucky professor, one-quarter of all exterminators have found infestations in college dorms. Bedbug infestations require professional help and are expensive to treat (Texas A&M had to shell out $27,000 to rid its dorms of the critters), but they are even harder to prevent. While pests that thrive on uncleanliness can be avoided by sealing food containers and minimizing clutter, bedbug infestations can occur for no apparent reason. The solution: Avoiding used furniture and carefully checking luggage after traveling may help prevent an infestation. If you or your dormmates already have bedbugs, washing linens in hot water and using mattress covers may keep bedbugs from spreading. 6. The hazard: Athlete's footWhen it comes to the shower, flip-flops are the way to go. The fungus that causes athlete’s foot thrives in warm and wet environments, like the shower or locker room. These infections are especially prominent in communal areas because anyone could have it. The solution: Wear flip-flops in communal showers and hallways. “You don’t know if the guy before you had it,” says LeCorgne. Make sure to dry in between the toes to prevent fungal growth. 7. The hazard: Sleep deprivationSleep can be hard to come by in college. Students are notorious for pulling all-nighters to finish papers and projects, and in a 2001 study in the Journal of American College Health, 73% of college students reported having occasional sleep problems. These sleep disturbances can take a toll. All-nighters are associated with lower GPAs, according to a 2008 study in Behavioral Sleep Medicine. And while you can usually find 300 cups of coffee or Coke in the average 300-person lecture hall, overdosing on caffeine and sugar to make up for lost sleep isn’t healthy. The solution: Establish a routine sleeping (and study) pattern, abstain from long naps, and avoid caffeine and exercise for several hours before bed. Learn more about how to get a restful sleep. 8. The hazard: Binge drinkingThe lack of parents on college campuses can turn newly unleashed freshmen into binge-drinking party animals. According to a 2005 U.S. Department of Justice report, more than 90% of the alcohol consumed by people under 21 is in the form of binge drinking. Drinking to excess is extremely dangerous and potentially fatal, and it can also lead to problems in the classroom. For every five drinks a student has per drinking occasion, his or her GPA is lowered by half a grade, according to a paper published by ImpacTeen, a research partnership at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The solution: It’s important to know how much your body can handle, which will vary depending on your size and weight. It takes the liver one hour to process one drink, which equals roughly 4 ounces of wine, 12 ounces of beer, or 1 ounce of hard liquor. 9. The hazard: STDsCollege brings the freedom to roam from dorm to dorm—and even from bed to bed. So it’s important to practice safe sex. As many as 25% of U.S. college students are said to be infected with a sexually transmitted disease. The human papillomavirus (HPV) is believed to be the most common STD on campus, followed by chlamydia. Contrary to what some people think, you cannot contract an STD from a toilet seat or bed sheets. “That’s just not a possibility,” the University of Arizona's LeCorgne says. Most STDs, like HPV and chlamydia, are passed through sexual contact. The solution: LeCorgne emphasizes the importance of using condoms to prevent not only pregnancy but also STDs. “You can’t think you're bullet-proof if you’re on the Pill,” she says. “The Pill doesn’t help against STDs." | e64f88f0-d5ad-5588-be31-c7b604fc6e9b | 05/19/25 |

In the first update in four days, Shayla Kelley Schrepfer, Retton's daughter, related that things seemed like they were headed "on the up and up," but things took a turn for the worse on Tuesday. "Basically at the beginning of this week, we were going on the up and up," Schrepfer said in the Instagram post. "We were so excited seeing so much progress. And then yesterday, we had a pretty scary setback." MARY LOU RETTON'S DAUGHTER OFFERS POSITIVE UPDATE ON HER MOM: ‘HER PATH TO RECOVERY IS STEADILY PROGRESSING’ Schrepfer did not say what exactly happened to cause the setback, but did say that Retton had a "better day" on Wednesday and that she was "just really, really exhausted." "She is still in ICU. And we're just working through some things as far as her setback goes. So I just wanted to give an update there," Schrepfer said. "She had a better day today, which is great. She is just really, really exhausted." Schrepfer on Oct. 10 revealed that her mother has been in an ICU "over a week" with a "very rare form" of pneumonia. Since then, financial support has poured in as Retton "continues to fight." As of Thursday morning, a fundraiser page for the legendary Olympian had received more than $452,000 in donations. The crowdfunding campaign to help with Retton's medical bills initially had a goal of $50,000. MARY LOU RETTON RECEIVES HUGE DONATION AS SHE BATTLES SERIOUS ILLNESS The Spotfund page also noted that Retton does not have health insurance. "GET WELL MARY LOU!! You are America’s Sweet Heart, and we are all rooting for you!" one donor wrote on the fundraising page. Retton is receiving treatment at a Texas hospital, according to The Associated Press. Retton's win at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles marked the first time an American woman won the all-around gold medal or any individual Olympic medal in gymnastics. She appeared in several films and television shows in the 1980s and 1990s and was inducted into the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame in 1997.

Appearing on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" Friday, Mackenzie Phillips said their father "had changed his ways as much as he was able to" and that she felt Bijou Phillips was safe. But Mackenzie says she did go get her sister when she "felt like she wasn't being watched properly." Mackenzie Phillips claims in a new book that she had a long-term incestuous relationship with her father, musician John Phillips of the 60’s group the Mamas and the Papas. PHOTOS: Now & Then photos of Mackenzie Phillips. In “High on Arrival,” her new tell-all book which hits stores today, the former “One Day at a Time” star says her first recollection of her father having sex with her was on the night before her wedding to Jeff Sessler, a member of the Rolling Stones entourage. In an interview with People magazine, Phillips, now 49, pleads with readers “don’t hate my father.” “On the eve of my [1979] wedding, my father showed up, determined to stop it,” Phillips, who was a teenager and strung out on drugs at the time, writes. “I had tons of pills, and Dad had tons of everything too.

It won't come from some special electoral gimmick. Nor will it materialize in the vaunted tradition of unveiling an "October surprise," a last-minute revelation concocted to drown Republicans in a damning political scandal. No. The Democrats final hope lies in marine sedimentology. You heard right. It's really quite simple. After their big electoral gains in 2006 and 2008, Democrats knew that a Republican wave was forming just off the political surf reef break. They knew this wave would race in, its curls of water spilling over themselves as it approached the shore. But Democrats had questions. How do they handle this wave? If it's just a usual political "pipeline" wave that hits the president's party in midterm elections, then they'd grab their boogie boards and ride it out, Hawaii Five-O style. The wave would crash into the shore and take with it 25 to 30 Democratic House seats. That was something tame and manageable. But what if the wave swells, whipping the shore with 39 to 40 Republican seats, just enough to award the GOP a bare majority? Or is this wave something special? Is it a tsunami along the lines of the 54-seat catastrophe that washed up on the Congressional shore in 1994? Or could it be something unprecedented? Is it the "big one," a wave capable of lashing the Capitol with a storm surge so massive that it submerges the Dome with 60 or 70 GOP seats? No matter the size, there's only one way to break a wave. And that's with rocks and cliffs and strata. Which Democrats have been erecting for two years. The question now is have the Democrats built a sufficient seawall? Or is this wave so staggering that no breakwater can protect the Democratic coastline? The Democratic bulkheads against the GOP tide come in two forms: 1) House Democrats holding contested seats in swing districts amid the worst electoral conditions in years and 2) Democrats surgically plucking off a handful of Republican seats to offset Democratic losses. In other words, addition by subtraction. During a Christian Science Monitor breakfast last week, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman (DCCC) Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) told reporters that he warned vulnerable Democrats to gird for battle this year. Most listened and at least have a fighting chance. But... "There are a few members who we approached many, many, many months ago to get their act together who did not take that advice," Van Hollen conceded. So the question is whether the Democratic seawall is strong enough. For instance, Republicans put several veteran House Democratic committee chairmen in their sights long ago: Armed Services Committee Chairman Ike Skelton (D-MO), Budget Committee Chairman John Spratt (D-SC) and Natural Resources Committee Chairman Nick Rahall (D-WV). Messrs. Skelton, Spratt and Rahall are all moderate Democrats who represent districts with GOP leanings. But they all got Van Hollen's message early and solidified their sea levies by raising cash and campaigning hard. "They're our rocks against the tide," said one senior House Democratic aide of the trio. But there are other races where Democrats are optimistic that junior lawmakers can serve as a bulwark against the Republican sea. Republican Congressional hopeful Tim Burns told me in May that the special election in southwestern Pennsylvania to succeed the late-Rep. Jack Murtha (D-PA) was a "bellwether" of things to come this fall. Two hours later, Burns conceded to Rep. Mark Critz (D-PA), a longtime Murtha aide. In the spring, it was thought that Murtha's southwest Pennsylvania district was ripe for a Republican pickup. The steel and mining economy is stagnant, jobs are scarce and many worry about the "big spending" agenda in Washington. Murtha's old seat remains in play this fall. But now Critz boasts the "power of incumbency," which ironically may actually help him in a decidedly anti-incumbent year. Other junior lawmakers that buckled down include freshmen Reps. John Adler (D-NJ), Gerry Connolly (D-VA) and Michael McMahon (D-NY). Each flipped a Republican seat to a Democratic seat. All might not win re-election. But they gathered sandbags and mortar to help build Van Hollen's dike. Another good example is freshman Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL).

His opponent, Republican nominee Daniel Webster only cobbled together $1.2 million and had less than half the cash reserves as Grayson. Still, the race is a tossup. And if Grayson ekes out another win, it shows you just how expensive the Democratic floodwall was to keep that particular seat. In the past few weeks, other races popped up on the radar that no one thought would be in play. Rep. Charlie Wilson (D-OH) is locked in a dogfight with Republican challenger Bill Johnson. Wilson didn't take his race for granted. But most political handicappers believed Wilson would be fine this cycle and focused instead on five other Ohio Democrats from swing districts. Across the Iron Range of Minnesota and stretching to the Canadian border, you'll find House Transportation Committee Chairman Jim Oberstar (D-MN) fighting for his seat against Republican upstart Chip Cravaack. Two weeks ago, Minnesota's Star-Tribune ran a piece titled "Has Oberstar Met His Match?" No Republican has held this Congressional district in northern Minnesota since just after World War II. But Republicans are enthused about Cravaack's surge, especially after former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) predicted it to be "one of the great upset stories in the country this year." Oberstar is running more TV commercials than he's had to in years. Oberstar may win. But the fact that some prognosticators believe his seat is even on the board shows the electoral torrent that's churning on November 2. But one only needs to travel south to truly understand the type of work Democrats have to do this fall to brace against the coming storm. The 7th Congressional District of Arizona is about as different as one can get from Jim Oberstar's. The district runs from the Phoenix suburbs all the way to California and to the Mexican border. Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) has represented the district since 2003. He's collected less than 59 percent of the vote and nearly became President Obama's nominee for Interior Secretary. But this is 2010. And this is Arizona. And after the Arizona state legislature approved its tough new anti-illegal immigration law, Grijalva asked certain minority civic and religious organizations boycott the state. This helps explain why 28-year-old political neophyte Ruth McClung has pitched this race into the toss-up category. And McClung bolstered her bid with support from the tea party and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin (R). Democrats are really having to build their wall ridiculously high if even seats held by Oberstar and Grijalva are on the table. To protect against the wave, Democrats spread shoals along the coastline, too. These are Republican-held seats that Democrats want to pick up. In other words, raising the GOP magic number for control of the House from 39 to say 45. Democrats are poised to win a House seat in Delaware and hope to knock off Rep. Joseph Cao (R-LA) in heavily-Democratic New Orleans or Rep. Dan Lungren (R-CA). They're also focused on the seat vacated by Rep. Mark Kirk (R-IL) as he runs for Senate. But those shoals may not be as strong as the Democrats had hoped. Even a supposedly Democratic "gimme" seat is now in question. Rep. Charles Djou (R-HI) is making a major pitch to hold his seat against state senator Colleen Hanabusa (D). For the record, during its 51 years in the union, Hawaii voters have never turned out of office a sitting House member or senator. In short, Democrats have tried to erect a seawall of prodigious proportion this year. They started early and nailed down some of their most-vulnerable members. But it still might not be enough as they keep having to add bricks and mortar to the top of this wall. There are lots of high-tech gadgets that help alert people about the potential for a tsunami. But one of the most fascinating warning systems is called "animal infrasound." Prior to the 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean, elephants ran for the hills. Elephants have a unique aural range beyond that of humans and can hear sounds below 20 Hz all the way down to .001 Hz. The elephants heard the tsunami and got out of the way. When it comes to the 2010 midterm elections, the Democratic donkeys were much like the Asian elephants. They detected that a tsunami was coming and began to prepare. But like those elephants, they can't track how powerful the wave might be. All one has to do is look at the colossal size of the seawall Democrats tried to build to understand what their party faces this fall. They raised money. They got their members home to campaign. They locked down swing districts. But a wave is coming. "And everything we did might not be enough," said a House Democratic aide. - FOX's Carl Cameron contributed to this report. | e335e401-d688-52e2-b0de-cad3b927cd8e | 05/19/25 |

</script></div><p>Here are four additional steps you can take to stay protected from sextortion scams:</p><p><strong>1) Be cautious with personal information:</strong> Avoid sharing personal information like your address, phone number or other sensitive details online. Be mindful of what you post on social media and other platforms.</p><p><strong>2) Watch out for red flags:</strong> Scammers are mostly bluffing. For instance, the Pegasus software they claim to be using is a lie. Stay informed about common scams and how they work. Knowing what to look out for can help you recognize and avoid potential threats.</p><div class="ad-container mobile ad-h-250 ad-w-300 ad-placeholder-load"><div class="ad gam" data-iu="ban6" id="mobile-mw-ad-ban6"></div> <script>

});
} else {
console.error('Error: window.foxstrike not found');
}
</script></div><p><strong>3) Change passwords: </strong>If the email includes a password, make sure you are not using it anymore, and if you are, change it as soon as possible. ON ANOTHER DEVICE (i.e., your laptop or desktop), you should change your passwords for all your important accounts, such as email, banking, social media, etc.</p><div class="ad-container desktop ad-h-50 ad-w-300"><div class="ad gam" data-iu="lb4" id="desktop-desk-ad-lb4"></div> <script>

} else {

}
</script></div><p>You should do this on another device to ensure that if the scammer actually has access to your device, they aren’t recording you setting up your new password. And you should also use strong and unique passwords that are hard to guess or crack. You can also use a <a href="https://cyberguy.com/tech-tips-tricks/best-password-managers/"><u>password </u></a><a href="https://cyberguy.com/tech-tips-tricks/best-password-managers/" rel="nofollow"><u>manager</u></a> <a rel="nofollow">t</a>o generate and store your passwords securely. Changing passwords should be a part of your general cybersecurity hygiene, even if you’re not affected by a data breach.</p><p><strong>4) Use personal data removal services:</strong> Consider investing in personal data removal services that specialize in continuously monitoring and removing your personal information from various online databases and websites. </p><div class="ad-container mobile ad-h-250 ad-w-300 ad-placeholder-load"><div class="ad gam" data-iu="ban7" id="mobile-mw-ad-ban7"></div> <script>

No matter the scam, whether it's a Microsoft call scam or government impersonation, they all attempt to scare you by claiming that something is seriously wrong with you or your devices and that only they can fix it. The latest sextortion scams targeting many in the U.S. are no exception. These bad actors contact you via email, claiming to have compromising photos or videos of you in private situations, and demand money to delete them. What's new is that these scammers now include images of your home to make their threats seem more convincing. I've received emails from many people sharing how these scammers targeted them. Below is a breakdown of the evolved sextortion scam and tips on how to stay protected. GET SECURITY ALERTS, EXPERT TIPS – SIGN UP FOR KURT’S NEWSLETTER – THE CYBERGUY REPORT HERE How the scam works It starts when you get an email from a scammer claiming they recorded you while you were watching adult content. They use your name and include a photo of your house or a nearby street to make it seem real. The scammer claims to have installed a spyware called "Pegasus" on your phone and has access to everything you watch. Pegasus is a spyware developed by NSO Group, a company that sells it only to government agencies and law enforcement. It’s super expensive and highly unlikely that a random scammer would have access to it. Even if they did, stalking people watching adult content wouldn’t be worth their time. Plus, if they have installed the spyware on your phone, they won’t need to ask you to send money. Once the scammer has you scared, they offer to delete the so-called footage and pretend you never existed if you pay them. They usually include a QR code for a cryptocurrency wallet and ask for Bitcoin as payment. One email I saw from a victim mentioned a ransom of about $2,000. I’ve attached a portion of the email the victim got below. I've blurred out any personal info to protect their identity, but you can still check out the text. HERE’S WHAT RUTHLESS HACKERS STOLE FROM 110 MILLION AT&T CUSTOMERS How do scammers know your location? The image of your home might make the scam look real, but it’s probably just a trick. One possible reason they have that info is a data breach. Your address might have been leaked in a breach and ended up on the dark web. Scammers could have gotten hold of it and used Google Maps to find a picture of your house. Another reason could be that you put up a listing for something online, like a rental or sale ad. If you’ve shared your address publicly in an online listing, scammers might have found it that way. MASSIVE FREE VPN DATA BREACH EXPOSES 360 MILLION RECORDS Protect your privacy: Blur your house on Google Maps Google Maps is how they get access to images of your house. But you can blur your house on the platform and prevent scammers from fearmongering. You’ll need to do this from a computer since the blurring feature isn’t available in the Google Maps app on iOS or Android. Follow these steps to learn how: 4 additional steps to stay protected from sextortion scams Here are four additional steps you can take to stay protected from sextortion scams: 1) Be cautious with personal information: Avoid sharing personal information like your address, phone number or other sensitive details online. Be mindful of what you post on social media and other platforms. 2) Watch out for red flags: Scammers are mostly bluffing. For instance, the Pegasus software they claim to be using is a lie. Stay informed about common scams and how they work. Knowing what to look out for can help you recognize and avoid potential threats. 3) Change passwords: If the email includes a password, make sure you are not using it anymore, and if you are, change it as soon as possible. ON ANOTHER DEVICE (i.e., your laptop or desktop), you should change your passwords for all your important accounts, such as email, banking, social media, etc. You should do this on another device to ensure that if the scammer actually has access to your device, they aren’t recording you setting up your new password. And you should also use strong and unique passwords that are hard to guess or crack. You can also use a password manager to generate and store your passwords securely. Changing passwords should be a part of your general cybersecurity hygiene, even if you’re not affected by a data breach. 4) Use personal data removal services: Consider investing in personal data removal services that specialize in continuously monitoring and removing your personal information from various online databases and websites. I mentioned above that scammers most likely got access to your address through a data breach. A data removal service can help you remove all this personal information from the internet. Check out my top picks for data removal services here. WORLD’S LARGEST STOLEN PASSWORD DATABASE UPLOADED TO CRIMINAL FORUM Kurt’s key takeaway Scammers use fear and deception to trick you into giving up your hard-earned money. By understanding how these sextortion scams work and knowing what to look out for, you can better protect yourself from falling victim. Remember, most of these scammers are bluffing and rely on exploiting your fears. Keep your personal information secure, be cautious about what you share online and always verify the legitimacy of any threatening messages you receive. If you encounter a scam, report it to the appropriate authorities and take steps to secure your accounts and devices. Have you ever encountered a similar scam or any other type of scam?

Naim Muhammad, 32, is charged with capital murder and is being held on $2 million bond. Police said he kidnapped 3-year-old Elijah, 5-year-old Naim and their mother by threatening her with a brick as they walked to school Monday.

The overwhelming votes of 410-11 and 418-2 were largely symbolic, however, as the Senate was not expected to act on the legislation in the few remaining days of the congressional session. Separately, Congress was poised to back a sweeping defense bill that already included crippling sanctions on foreign financial institutions that do business with Iran's Central Bank, a provision that the Senate backed unanimously last week. Determined to show their hawkish stand on Iran and pro-Israel credentials, House lawmakers voted for two bills that would strengthen current sanctions while expanding the list of companies and individuals subject to penalties. The legislation builds on sanctions that Congress overwhelmingly passed -- and President Barack Obama signed -- last year. Those penalties targeted exports of gasoline and other refined petroleum products to Iran and banned U.S. banks from doing business with foreign banks providing services to Iran's Revolutionary Guard. The United Nations and the European Union have also imposed sanctions on Iran. "Our fundamental strategic objective must be to stop Iran before it obtains nuclear weapons capabilities and to compel it to permanently dismantle its pursuit of such weapons," said Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The United States has tried repeatedly to coax Iran into international negotiations with the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany over its nuclear program. Iran contends that its program is designed to generate electricity, not build weapons. Among the new provisions, the House bills would restrict foreign subsidiaries of U.S. companies from doing business with Iran. Bartering is included among the activities that could be sanctioned, and Americans would be prohibited from conducting commercial or financial transactions with the Revolutionary Guard. Directing its ire at Syria and North Korea as well, one provision would strengthen the prohibition on granting landing rights in the United States to vessels that have visited Iran, North Korea or Syria in the last two years. The defense bill would impose tough new penalties on Iran, targeting foreign financial institutions that do business with the Central Bank in Tehran. The legislation requires the president to prohibit or impose strict conditions on that financial institution and its ability to maintain corresponding accounts in the United States.

A day later, some in Congress were again trying to make it secret. The requirement that the president disclose the intelligence total was a provision of a broad security measure carrying out recommendations of the Sept. 11 commission. Bush signed it last Friday. The commission, in making its recommendations in 2004, argued that overclassification does not contribute to good government, and that revealing the overall spending for intelligence activities would help Congress in its oversight duties. As the commission found, said House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., declassification would not reveal investments in specific programs or expose sources and methods. "Instead, it simply provides greater transparency to American taxpayers." But this and past administrations have worked hard to keep the number hidden. The White House, when the Senate was considering the 9/11 bill, put out a statement saying disclosure "would provide no meaningful information to the general American public, but would provide significant intelligence to America's adversaries and could cause damage to the national security interests of the United States." In the end, Bush signed the bill, which includes significant upgrades in port and aviation security and changes how Washington distributes security grants to the states. But the next night, shortly before Congress recessed for its August break, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., introduced an amendment into the 2008 defense spending bill that would prevent the intelligence portion of that budget from being made public. The amendment was accepted without debate. "Publicizing a budget sounds pretty benign until you realize the bad guys are looking at what goes into our intelligence," Issa said in an interview. He said that even without releasing the specifics of intelligence budgets, noticeable changes in spending from one year to another could be of use to both the single terrorist and to spy agencies in countries such as China and Russia. The Senate, which supported disclosure in its 9/11 bill, still has to consider the defense bill. Leslie Phillips, spokeswoman for Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said, "We are disappointed by the House action and will work to reverse it." Under the 9/11 bill, the president must disclose the intelligence community budget for this fiscal year and fiscal 2008. From 2009, the president may waive the disclosure requirement if he can make the case to Congress it would harm national security. It is broadly estimated that current intelligence spending is in excess of $45 billion a year. That covers 16 agencies, including the CIA, the National Security Agency, the National Reconnaissance Office and the Defense Intelligence Agency. Steven Aftergood of the Federation of American Scientists, said advocates of open government have been trying for decades to make the intelligence budget public. Former CIA director George Tenet released the intelligence budgets in 1997 and 1998 — $26.6 billion and $26.7 billion — after the Federation of American Scientists filed Freedom of Information Act lawsuits. But the budget has been classified again since 1999, despite numerous attempts in Congress to reverse that policy. The 9/11 bill is a landmark in that it is the first time Congress has required declassification of the budget over the objections of the executive branch, Aftergood said. "It has become a symbol of entrenched secrecy," he said. "By tackling this symbol, you will help galvanize a process of reform." | b3b0fbac-1995-5586-8d29-cf900814b4c0 | 05/19/25 |

A close confidante of Zellweger’s told FOX411 that her drastically different look is a result of the 45-year-old actress’ insecurities. According to our source, who has been connected to Zellweger since the early days of her career, the changes are hardly a big surprise. “Insecurities abound,” the source told FOX411. “Hollywood gets to people more than one would like to think.” In a statement to People.com released early Wednesday morning, Zellweger did not address the rumors of plastic surgery and simply stated her new look was a result of a healthier lifestyle and natural aging. So which is it, her new life, or same old Hollywood pressures? “Renee is obviously hyper-fixated on maintaining a youthful appearance; this is likely a result of the interaction between her own personality type and Hollywood’s focus on young females,” observed Harvard sociologist Dr. Hilary Levey Friedman. “The focus on youth and often unattainable perfection, like no wrinkles, certainly can lead those with a proclivity to engage in radical behavior.” The pressure to stay young is a big issue all around, explained human behavior expert, Patrick Wanis, PhD. “We the consumers are so obsessed with youth and so hateful to age, and that affects everyone.

"She was different with us after that. She was more serious, more distant," Maria Azucena Reyes said Thursday. The woman's story of being drugged, kidnapped and forced to marry her alleged captor began to emerge Monday, when she went to a police station in working-class Bell Gardens and accused the man of domestic violence. During that conversation, officers learned of her connection to a 2004 missing-persons case in Santa Ana, about 20 miles away. Santa Ana police said they interviewed both Isidro Garcia, 41, and the woman and said they concluded that he had kidnapped her after a fight with her mother, who was his girlfriend at the time. After holding her captive, Garcia moved at least four times and gave her multiple fake identities to hide her from family and authorities, Santa Ana Police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said. Garcia was charged Thursday with five felonies, including rape and kidnapping to commit a sexual offense. He remained jailed on $1 million bail. The woman, whom police did not identify, told investigators she often thought about escaping but fear paralyzed her. She came to the United States illegally in 2004, spoke no English at the time, and said Garcia used that to isolate her, telling her that if she contacted authorities, she would be deported. The woman also claimed that Garcia beat her when she twice tried to escape. "I couldn't do nothing. I did what he wants. I don't have life these 10 years," the woman told KABC-TV on Wednesday night. The station didn't identify her because she's an alleged victim of sexual abuse. The woman told investigators that she was too scared to go to authorities until she was recently reunited with her mother, police said. But Garcia's lawyer contended that the woman lied about being abused because the couple is separating. His client never brutalized the woman or kept her from leaving, Charles Frisco said. "People have problems, people break up and sometimes get very belligerent during the divorce process, the separation process, and say things that aren't true," Frisco said. Police said Garcia forced the woman to marry in 2007 and fathered a daughter with her who is now 3. In April, the woman got in touch with her mother after finding her sister on Facebook, according to Bertagna. The mother showed the daughter old news articles to prove that she had gone to the police and filed a missing-persons report, Bertagna said. "The mother was able to show her that she was, in fact, looking for her," Bertagna said. When reached by phone, the woman's mother told The Associated Press that police told her not to speak with any media. On Mother's Day, the woman posted a photo on Facebook of herself "after almost 10 years of not seeing my mom and my little sister." ''I love them," she wrote of another photo of the reunion. Her Facebook page, confirmed as hers by neighbors, portrayed a happy family; on May 1, she updated her profile picture to include a family shot at a park. She frequently posted about the health of her young daughter, who suffered allergies and some fevers. Neighbors said she called Garcia "mi amor," or "my love," and was trying to conceive again. "People say he was controlling, but I don't see him (as) smart enough to do that," neighbor Lourdes Hernandez said. "On the contrary, she used to manage the money. ... He wasn't that smart. She was." Reyes said Garcia drove his wife to see her mother in Anaheim in subsequent visits after the reunion. The criminal charges all date to a three-month period in 2004 around the time she went missing. If the case goes to trial, prosecutors will have to convince a jury that the man neighbors saw as a hard-working, church-going man was an abusive rapist. Garcia and the woman both worked for a janitorial company cleaning a building that houses some offices of the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services. Neighbors said he also held a second job and collected recyclables to earn extra money. They said he recently bought his wife a minivan. Even the woman agreed that Garcia appeared to be devoted. "He worked hard for me and my daughter and he bought everything I want," she said. "But I didn't want that. I need love of my family, not things." Prosecutors said it doesn't matter that the woman seemed these days to be a happy, loving wife and mother who never said a word about being held captive. "Over the course of many, many years, her freedoms may have increased, but she was still mentally his captive," said Farrah Emami, a spokeswoman for Orange County's district attorney. "I'm sure the neighbors are stating what they saw, but what was going on privately in the home was different. This was prolonged and extended emotional, physical and sexual abuse." Other neighbors said they sensed not all was well.

The majority of independents, 61 percent of them, say Republicans should give in and raise taxes in order to get a debt deal. That is 61 percent. To Republican Congressman Jim Jordan from Ohio. Congressman, does that worry you? REP. JIM JORDAN, R-OHIO: Well, I think, if you would look at the poll, and if they would ask American citizens, do you realize that the tax increases come now and all the supposed spending cuts, well, they may materialize in the future, but if you look at past Congresses, we never get to the spending cuts, you tell the truth to the American people, they would say no, no, no, no, then don’t -- we don’t want that kind of deal. That’s the old deal that Washington plays on us all the time, and we understand that’s not going to work. VARNEY: Well, there was a very similar wording to a question in the same poll, said, look, would you -- it asked independents, it said, do you want Republican leaders to compromise to get a debt deal? Nothing about taxes. JORDAN: Yes. VARNEY: Do you want them to compromise? 68 percent said yes. Yes, get out there and compromise. JORDAN: Stuart... (CROSSTALK) VARNEY: That’s real pressure on you guys. JORDAN: No, we did that last night. Last night was a bill that 234 members of the House of Representatives passed. Five Democrats supported it. It was the compromise. It was the plan. It said, look, we are willing to raise the debt ceiling, but only if we do the things that fix the country, cut spending now, cap it as a percentage of our economy going forward, and get the real game-changer, a balanced budget amendment to the United States Constitution, which everyone knows is the only thing that will ultimately fix the problem and secure the future for our kids and our grandkids. That is the compromise. But that’s the plan that works. That’s what we should stand strong for. VARNEY: Listen to what I have just received. This is just into me. Senate Democratic Leaders Durbin and Reid return from the White House. Durbin said that the president, President Obama, made clear no short-term extension. That implies there might be a Boehner plan that’s coming forward. What do you make of this? JORDAN: The Boehner plan was last night. Again, the ‘Gang of Six’ -- let’s go with the gang of 234, the gang... (CROSSTALK) JORDAN: ... members last night who supported -- put a plan on the table that actually fixes the problem. That’s what we need to focus on. VARNEY: Nobody -- that is absolutely true, sir, but nobody I know says that this cut, cap and balance program can get through the Senate. I don’t anybody who says it’s going to get through. (CROSSTALK) VARNEY: So, bearing that in mind, is it not possible that Speaker Boehner will come through with another plan? JORDAN: Stuart, I fail to accept that premise. If we always listened to conventional wisdom, we would never attempt and accomplish anything that really matters. In fact, if the founders would have listened to conventional wisdom, there would be no United States of America. So this idea that this can’t get through the Senate, let’s see. Let’s let Harry Reid bring it up for a vote. Let’s have a real debate. And, frankly, let’s have the president of the United States put his plan on the table. VARNEY: OK. JORDAN: I’d love to have his plan out there and our plan and let’s have a two-week debate in this country and then let’s see who wins. VARNEY: You don’t necessarily have two weeks to debate it. JORDAN: I’ll take 10 days. I’ll take any... VARNEY: If this comes up in the Senate tomorrow or Friday, or whenever, and it’s voted down -- let’s go with me for a second -- and it’s voted down, then would you accept a compromise of any kind, which the American people seem to be wanting? JORDAN: I’m not going to accept tax increases, because we know that’s not going to be conducive to economic growth. Every -- you understand that. I understand it. And if you tell the American people truth, that if we have tax increases, that’s going to hurt job creation, they won’t be for it as well. If you tell them the truth, that the tax increases come now, and the spending cuts may come in the future, they won’t be for it. So, let’s just tell the truth and let’s focus on fixing the problem, not playing political games, not some McConnell plan, some not crazy ‘Gang of Six’ plan, not some president plan that we never see. VARNEY: OK. JORDAN: Let’s go with the plan that’s out there that has passed the House of Representatives. VARNEY: Now, I’m not saying this.

</script></div><p>"He's a big part of our team and a great player," cornerback Darius Butler said. "So I'm happy to see him recovering well."</p> <!-- --> <!-- --></div> | FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Wes Welker stretched under the bright sun. He weaved between cones in an agility drill. He caught passes with other Patriots receivers. One of the few signs that the NFL's top pass catcher over the past three years had major surgery exactly four months earlier was the brace on his left knee. If Welker is ahead of schedule in his recovery, he's not saying. He declined to talk with reporters during New England's organized team activities Wednesday. But with the season opener still more than three months away, the sight of Welker running and cutting was encouraging to the Patriots' other dangerous pass catcher. "It's very impressive to me," Randy Moss said. "I'm a big fan of Welker's way before he came here, back when he was in Miami. So I can't wait to have him back on the field, whenever that day comes." Meanwhile, Tom Brady will have to settle for throwing passes to Welker in practice, as he did Wednesday. The last time Brady did that in a game was on the fourth play of the Patriots regular-season finale, a 34-27 loss at Houston on Jan. 3. Welker caught the ball on the left side and his left leg — without being hit — buckled as he planted it at the Texans 49-yard line. The Patriots lost Welker for the playoffs and, it was feared, for several games in the 2010 season, starting with the first game Sept. 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals in Foxborough. He had surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee on Feb. 2. The medial collateral ligament also was damaged but did not require surgery. "If you have that healing on its own, it almost becomes stronger," he said at the Wes Welker Foundation's football camp in Oklahoma City on May 15. "It's hard to put a timetable on anything "And plus, whenever you put a timetable on it, now people expect you. If you're not ready then, they're like, 'What's wrong?' " There were indications before Wednesday that Welker's recovery was progressing nicely. He ran at his camp last month. During the Boston Celtics playoff series against the Orlando Magic, he had a courtside seat and, when the scoreboard picture showed him, he got up and did a little dance. On Wednesday, Welker didn't run at top speed or cut as sharply as he would in a game. He left the field for the middle of the practice then returned and stood on the sidelines while holding the brace. Still, cornerback Leigh Bodden liked what he saw. "It's surprising to see him out here," Bodden said, "but it's good to see him out here. He's working just to get back." Welker was undrafted and signed with San Diego for the 2004 season. He was cut after playing one game and signed with Miami, where he caught 96 passes before being traded for two draft picks on March 2007. But in his three seasons with New England, Welker has 346 receptions. He tied T.J. Houshmandzadeh for the NFL lead in 2007 with 112 and led the league last year with a club-record 123, despite missing most of the final regular-season game. Without him in the playoffs, the Patriots lost to the Baltimore Ravens in the first round 33-14. The Patriots current four-day OTA sessions end on Thursday. They have four more days of OTAs next Monday through Thursday. By then, Welker might be doing even more. "He's a big part of our team and a great player," cornerback Darius Butler said. "So I'm happy to see him recovering well." | a9f57a44-1dff-59a0-a23e-4687afe172a8 | 05/19/25 |

Sheriff's officials said three people live at the Charles City residence, including two friends of Casey Fredericksen, the fiance of Evelyn Miller's mother, Noel. Noel Miller has said two of her fiance's friends were at her apartment the night the girl disappeared, but she declined to name them. Authorities wouldn't say whether the apartment that was searched belonged to the same people. Authorities have said that Fredericksen, 26, passed a lie-detector test after he was questioned for about four hours. Miller has said she left her children including Evelyn, Gabriel, 2, and Damian, 1, with her fiance at their apartment in this small farming community about 110 miles northeast of Des Moines. When she arrived home from her overnight job later Friday morning, the apartment door was slightly open and Evelyn was gone. "She wasn't a kid that would just get up in the middle of the night and walk out at three or four or five in the morning," she told KCCI television. "She is a very bright girl and we just want her home and safe." The family has said they suspect the girl may have been abducted. Brandi Hoffman, a family spokeswoman, appealed to a possible abductor at a press conference over the weekend. "If there is somebody out there who has her, please bring her back to her family," Hoffman said. A nationwide Amber Alert (search), which uses electronic traffic signs and other means to dispense information that would include a description of the missing child, had not been issued because there was no known suspect or vehicle description to release, Lynch said. "We still don't have the criteria" to trigger the national notification system, he said. While investigators pursued a criminal investigation into Evelyn's disappearance, search efforts continued to expand outward from girl's apartment complex. Lynch said that over 200 volunteers searched ditches, bridges, waterways and fields for traces of the child on Monday. Volunteers were needed, he said, to resume search efforts on Tuesday. Evelyn Miller was described as a white girl about 3 feet, 5 inches tall, weighing around 40 pounds. She has blond hair, hazel eyes and a missing bottom tooth. She was last seen wearing a blue shirt with flowers on the left side and light blue shorts with flowers. The FBI and Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation were involved in the investigation. | 9d0ddebe-bdb8-5fa0-a5e4-a9de3f0d12b3 | 05/19/25 |

That's where we get some of the injuries."</p> <!-- --> <!-- --></div> | Doug Flutie remembers feeling how his arm was ready to fall off during his one year in the USFL. Nate Newton recalls how he did absolutely nothing but rest for an entire month after playing his two USFL 18-game regular seasons. And former CFL quarterback Danny McManus can still see the telltale signs of blurry-eyed fatigue that set in on rookies when Week 13 rolled around in Canada with five games still left to play. For those wondering what the effects might be if the NFL expands from 16 to 18 regular-season games, take it from those who've been through it: It's a grind. "From week to week, game plan to game plan, there's the physical part, but the mental part of the preparation is what wears a guy down," said Newton, a former star offensive lineman, who began his pro career in 1984 with the USFL Tampa Bay Bandits. "You're going to blow a fuse. It's just bound to happen." Newton got a taste of playing an 18-game season before going on to become a six-time Pro Bowl selection with the Dallas Cowboys. McManus, who played for Florida State, spent 17 seasons in the CFL where 18-game schedules have been the norm since 1986. "You'd see it around Week 13 through Week 16, these guys are just dragging themselves into the locker room," said McManus, who retired in 2006 and is now the head U.S. scout for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. "There's no doubt it's a grind to go 18 weeks. And we used to do it going 18 weeks straight." Of course, that led to some unorthodox recuperating methods. "The saying we have up in Canada is we ice from the inside out," McManus said, laughing. "And that's because of a lot of that Canadian beer up there. That's the quickest way to get into the muscles, to ice from the inside out." These are among the sobering messages from several ex-USFLers and CFLers — rounded out by Hall of Famer Jim Kelly, who broke in with the USFL's Houston Gamblers in 1984 before starring for the Buffalo Bills — with firsthand knowledge of playing 18-game seasons. All agreed the expanded schedules required a big adjustment from players. And Kelly even wondered whether the NFL is using the 18-game schedule as a ploy in labor talks, which are now on hold after breaking down two weeks ago. "It's almost like they're holding it over the players so they at least have something to give back," Kelly said. "This is my personal opinion." Ploy or not, the NFL went into negotiations with a desire to expand its regular season for the first time since going from 14 to 16 games in 1978. In going to 18 games, the NFL would eliminate two preseason games in exchange for adding two regular-season games with the prospect of generating more revenue. NFL players have balked at the proposal. They've complained that an expanded schedule would increase the risk of injuries and, as a result, have the potential of shortening careers, thus cutting into their money-earning potential and reducing their retirement benefits. Players have also fear how much two more games would cut into their offseasons, which are already filled with mandatory and voluntary minicamps and workout programs from March to June. The NFL did back off on its proposal in its last offer before talks broke down. The NFL proposed maintaining the 16 regular-season games and four preseason games for at least two years, with any switch to 18 games being negotiable. Injuries, fatigue and weather conditions — imagine how many fans would show up to a Week 19 mean-nothing game in January in wintry Buffalo, Kelly wondered — were among concerns expressed by the each of 18-game veterans. For Newton, an 18-game NFL schedule would require the league to expand its rosters from 53 to at least 60 players. And teams would be keen in stocking their lineup with at least two capable running backs and two quarterbacks to guard against injuries. Flutie didn't even complete his one USFL season with the New Jersey Generals. His year ended 15 games in when he broke his collarbone after being sacked by Reggie White. Then again, Flutie's throwing arm was already feeling shot by then. "I thought I was fine and I was gung-ho," Flutie said, of how he initially felt reporting for training camp. "And then, about four weeks into it, my arm felt dead and there was no break coming. ... You felt like the season should be over, and you're just at the midpoint." The USFL experience made it easier for Flutie to adjust to the CFL, where he spent eight seasons. And it helped that training camps in Canada last three weeks, and teams only play two preseason games. "And that's part of the problem in the NFL is they've got them all spring working out," Flutie said. "Then, you go through a long grueling training camp and the preseason games and then try to go 18 games. That's what I think would make it ridiculously difficult." For McManus, the key in the CFL was players and coaches pacing themselves. With so little time for preparation, McManus said teams approached the first two regular-season games with a preseason mentality in determining starters and developing game plans. The CFL game is different from the NFL, and better suited to speedier players. The three-down league has 12-man lineups playing on wider and longer fields, that feature 20-yard end zones. What's not different, as McManus noted: "Hitting is still hitting" "Those guys in the trenches, to do that much hitting, you're going to start seeing some more shoulder injuries, head injuries," he said, noting injuries also occur when players get fatigued. "We get that quite a bit," McManus said. "Guys aren't sure how to run a route or are just jogging through it and someone else on the other side is not jogging through it. That's where we get some of the injuries." | 6743e652-99e6-57b6-a744-eb38d94ee901 | 05/19/25 |

Rosy is a eight-month-old Suffolk breed lamb who recently broke one of her back legs while trotting in a field near Hatton, Warwickshire, England. The young lamb lay helpless in the field overnight — and when a crow spotted her, it began to attack her eye, SWNS, the British news agency, reported. DISABLED KITTEN IN LOS ANGELES NAMED CHOLULU IS LOOKING FOR A HOME TO SHARE HER ‘WORLD’S LOUDEST PURR' Rosy’s leg did not heal properly, and she wasn’t able to stand after she was discovered in the field — so she was taken to The Rescue Ranch nearby for medical help. Due to the leg injury, the ranch manager at The Rescue Ranch became concerned about Rosy’s ability to feed. Susan Franks, the manager, said the team at the ranch, which has been open since 1996, decided to use a modified dog wheelchair to help Rosy feed without pain. PENNSYLVANIA RESCUE ROOSTER FALLS FOR A DISABLED HEN "A kind lady donated us a set of wheels, and we made a few adjustments for Rosy," Franks said, according to SWNS. The ranch team then strapped her inside the frame of the wheelchair and "encouraged her to take a few steps" — to which she responded well. Now, Rosy has the ability to make a full recovery by being able to practice walking again with the guide. ANIMAL RESCUERS BAFFLED BY SCORES OF HIMALAYAN KITTENS DUMPED IN MARYLAND PARK: ‘IT’S A MYSTERY' Franks said The Rescue Ranch hopes the makeshift wheelchair is a temporary solution — and that Rosy will be able to ditch the wheelchair before too long. "Our main aim is to get her walking without wheels," she said to SWNS. "We’ve seen a 50% improvement all over." CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER The rescue owner told Fox News Digital that Rosy is "enjoying life" and loves her new mode of transportation. "She's under regular veterinary supervision while we're working to help her but incredibly, she's a really bright and cheerful little lamb and is no longer in any pain," she said.

Facebook, YouTube and Instagram are the most popular platforms with billions of users, while Twitter, Reddit and Pinterest claim hundreds of millions. With these kinds of numbers, you can bet the hackers and scammers are setting up shop, too. Take steps now so you’re not their next victim. Tap or click to learn how to enable an essential security setting for all your accounts: two-factor authentication. On my national radio show and global Bloomberg TV program, I take calls from people like you who have questions about anything from buying the right smart home tech or getting a copy of everything their kids do on their phones to how to make money in this gig economy. Tap or click here if you’d like to listen to a few of the show’s podcasts or you can watch the show here. Social media comes up a lot. Here are some questions I have fielded that you probably have on your mind, too. No, you made a dumb mistake. Most social networks notify users of any likes on their profiles. Unliking a post won’t erase the original notification, so you’ll only be safe if notifications are turned off. Try to be more careful in the future. Better yet, unfollow your ex. You don’t click anymore. 2. I’m looking for a job/date/whatever. What do other people see when they look at my Facebook profile? I live a respectable life ... well, for the most part. You’re right in assuming anyone you meet will look you up online. Facebook and LinkedIn have “View as” options that let you look at your profile through the eyes of another user. This trick is useful for checking if your specific privacy settings are working or not. On the desktop version of Facebook, open your News Feed and click your name in the top left. Then click on the three-dot button at the bottom of your cover photo next to Activity Log and select View As. On the desktop version of LinkedIn, open your profile page and look for a button in the upper right corner that says Edit public profile & URL. Sure, you can make particular posts and photos viewable to only certain people. But if you’re questioning whether a certain part of your life should be public, best leave it off social media altogether. 3. My grandson told me that I’m an “oversharer” with the family on social media. What am I doing wrong? I just want to be a part of their lives and tell them what’s on my mind. This reminds me of a joke. Did you hear about the woman whose husband called her out for being an oversharer on Facebook? Clearly, his hemorrhoids were making him cranky! Your bratty grandson is telling you that you’re annoying. You’re posting too much personal information that friends and followers don’t care about or feel uncomfortable reading. Always think before you post, and consider the interests and tastes of your audience. Tap or click for 5 details you shouldn’t share on social media. One more thing: Know that there’s a distinct difference between “Here’s what I think about this” and what should really be a conversation between you and your therapist. 4. I have a very annoying ex/friend/coworker. If I block them, will they know? I don’t want to make a difficult situation worse. This answer depends on the platform. Facebook and Instagram don’t explicitly alert users when they’ve been blocked. Instead, they hide you from the person you want to ignore and the user won’t be able to find you, no matter how hard they look. Twitter shows an explicit message when you visit a profile that’s blocked you. You won’t be able to contact this user or access their content in any direct way. In real life, you would just avoid this person. Online, this task is actually easier. Just mute their posts. See #9 below for more about this social media feature. 5. I know sites like Facebook collect data on me. What do they do with it all? Whenever you use a free site like Facebook, you are the product. Facebook collects the data you voluntarily give on your profile and it is used by advertisers. When an advertiser can better target their messages, they are willing to pay more money because their ads will be more effective. RELATED: Sick of targeted ads on Facebook? You need to shut out advertisers. Tap or click here to change your settings and stay off the radar. For example, let’s say you’re a 50-year-old woman, who loves golf, travels and works in the financial field. The ads you see will be much different than a 28-year-old newly married male who has a passion for NASCAR and music festivals. The more money the advertisers pay, the more money Facebook makes. You might be sharing more information than you realize. Tap or click here to see what Facebook knows about you and 5 ways to lock down your account. 6. I need evidence for a legal situation that deals with a custody battle. I need to prove my ex is an unfit parent. Can someone tell if I saved their post? Social media brings out the best in people. Instagram has no issue with you saving or taking a screenshot of a person’s post, nor does Instagram send alerts when you screenshot a user’s Story. However, there’s a big caveat. With direct messages that expire, any screenshots you take will send an alert to the user. That logic extends to Snapchat, where the entire point of the app is to exchange messages that expire. Users will be alerted if you screenshot any videos, images or text conversations. Facebook and Twitter do not alert users if you take a screenshot. So capture away and be sure to save these images on your phone and as a backup in the cloud, too. You don’t want to lose some great posts if they can work to your advantage. 7. My kids want to use TikTok. How does it work? Is it safe? I was in Barcelona last week and my tour guide asked me the same thing! TikTok is a video sharing app that has exploded in popularity, particularly with young people. TikTok is fun, but not always safe for kids. A recent study from cybersecurity company Check Point found TikTok had serious flaws that were addressed in a December update. Hackers could manipulate user info and expose personal data. Be sure you get the latest version. If you are going to let the kids use it, switch to a Private account so complete strangers cannot contact them and change all safety settings to Friends. And check “followers and following” regularly to make sure they are abiding by your rules. I have a fabulous tech rules contract for you to use with the kids in your family. This way, the kids know what’s right and what’s wrong when it comes to devices, screen time, privacy and security. And best of all, I’m the bad guy and you’re not. You’re welcome. Tap or click here for my free technology contract for kids. 8. I looked up a few old flames because I was curious about what they look like now. Can someone see when I search for them? Don’t bother. They look old and you don’t. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram don’t inform users when others visit their profile, and your search history is private to your account. LinkedIn, however, is designed to help employers and workers connect with one another. Even with a free account, you can see the last five people who visited your page. If you upgrade to a premium account, you can see all the visitors from the last 90 days. In case you need help with your stalking, tap or click here for 6 tricks to find anyone on social media. 9. My crazy relative posts political posts all day long. It’s annoying. Can I stop seeing this person’s posts without unfriending them? That would cause major drama. “Muting” users on social media will remove all their content from your feed without removing them from your friends list. Best of all, the user will have no idea you did it. On Facebook, use your desktop to visit the profile or page you want to mute and click Following. Select Unfollow. On Twitter, visit their profile and click the three-dot icon next to their name. This reveals a few options including Mute. On Instagram, tap or click on the three-dot icon next to any post. You’ll now see various options including Report, Unfollow and Mute. If only this worked in real life. 10. I cleaned up my social media account. Can people still find embarrassing old posts I’ve deleted? I’m so glad there was no social media when I was in college. Thankfully, nearly all social media platforms let you delete posts and content you no longer want to show. Keep in mind screenshots and archived pages can live on long after you’ve removed them. Can you imagine the political campaigns of people, say twenty years from now? 11. I was upset last night at my boyfriend, had a few drinks and fired off a nasty message.

Someone said last year his administration is a blend of malevolence and incompetence,” Gore said in an interview with The Associated Press in Greensboro. “I think they’ve made some mistakes in some of the moves they’ve made. The courts have blocked some of what they wanted to do as a result.” Even the Republican-controlled Congress has stepped in at times, he said. “The U.S. system has a lot of inherent resilience,” Gore said. “It’s hard for one person, even the president, to change things very quickly if the majority of American people don’t want them changed.” Gore was in North Carolina on Sunday and Monday to speak on behalf of the Poor People’s Campaign, which names “ecological devastation” as one of the problems hurting poor people. Gore shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 for his campaign to protect the environment. He authored a 1992 book on the climate, “Earth in the Balance,” just before he became vice president. His work also includes the 2006 documentary “An Inconvenient Truth.” More recently he founded The Climate Reality Project . Historians say a 1982 campaign against a PCB landfill in North Carolina’s majority-black Warren County helped give birth to the environmental justice movement so it’s especially appropriate that the Poor People’s Campaign has its roots in the state, Gore said. The campaign’s co-chair is the Rev. William Barber, who founded the Moral Monday movement in North Carolina and has served as president of the state NAACP chapter. Low-income communities typically suffer the brunt of environmental damage because they lack the “economic and political clout necessary to make their case and defend themselves” so they’re more likely to become locations of “these pollution streams and waste sites,” Gore said. He said current dangers include the loosening of regulations for dumps for coal ash, which contains toxic metals such as lead, mercury and arsenic. The new acting secretary of the Environmental Protection Agency, Andrew Wheeler, was quick to ease rules for handling the toxic ash from more than 400 U.S. coal-fired power plants. Coal ash is a particular issue in North Carolina, where a major leak from a Duke Energy site in 2014 left coal ash coating 70 miles of the Dan River on the North Carolina-Virginia border. | c890d4af-ed33-564b-8738-26ca9d78d17c | 05/19/25 |

Roper as saying the law would divert scarce resources from local policing priorities to immigration enforcement.</p><p>Last year, the department obtained a preliminary injunction against an Arizona immigration law.</p><p><i>Fox News' Mike Levine and The Associated Press contributed to this report.</i></p> <!-- --> <div class="article-meta"><!-- --></div></div> | The Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against Alabama's new controversial immigration law, essentially fighting Alabama on grounds similar to its legal battle with Arizona over that state's controversial law. In both cases, the Justice Department argues that the states are overstepping their authority by wading into something that is a strictly federal responsibility: immigration enforcement. Gov. Robert Bentley signed the Alabama law in June, but it's not set to take effect until Sept. 1. The law makes it a crime to be an undocumented immigrant in Alabama and allows law enforcement to detain individuals they have a "reasonable suspicion" of being in the country illegally. The law also makes it illegal to give undocumented immigrants rides and requires school districts to check on the immigration status of students who enroll. The law is modeled on Arizona's immigration law, parts of which have been blocked by federal court. It's said to be the strictest state-level immigration law in the country. The Justice Department, in its filing, says a state cannot set its own immigration policy and cannot pass laws that conflict with federal immigration laws. "To put it in terms we relate to here in Alabama, you can only have one quarterback in a football game. In immigration, the federal government is the quarterback," said Joyce Vance, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama. The American Civil Liberties Union applauded the lawsuit, calling Alabama's immigrant law "draconian" and "anti-immigrant." The law has already faced lawsuits from civil rights groups and others, and Alabama religious leaders announced Monday their own lawsuit against the law, saying, "the bishops have reason to fear that administering of religious sacraments, which are central to the Christian faith, to known undocumented persons may be criminalized under this law." The sponsor of the Alabama law, Republican state Rep. Micky Hammon, defended it Monday. "The Obama administration and the federal bureaucrats have turned a blind eye toward the immigration issue and refuse to fulfill their constitutional duty to enforce laws already on the books. Now, they want to block our efforts to secure Alabama's borders and prevent our jobs and taxpayer dollars from disappearing into the abyss that illegal immigration causes," Hammon said. "Allowing hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants to run unchecked under the radar threatens our homeland security and insults those who come here legally," he added. In a Department of Justice statement, Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said immigration enforcement is the job of the federal government. "Legislation like this diverts critical law enforcement resources from the most serious threats to public safety," Napolitano said. The Justice Department's complaint quoted Birmingham police chief A.C. Roper as saying the law would divert scarce resources from local policing priorities to immigration enforcement. Last year, the department obtained a preliminary injunction against an Arizona immigration law.

National groups are promising to spend big before the April 4 election. ABORTION DOMINANT ISSUE AS WISCONSIN SUPREME COURT RACE ENTERS SECOND ROUND Kelly is endorsed by the state's three top anti-abortion groups, including Wisconsin Right to Life. Democratic-backed candidate Janet Protasiewicz has run as a vocal supporter of abortion rights, something Kelly says goes too far in showing how she might rule on an existing lawsuit. Protasiewicz, a Milwaukee County circuit judge, went after Kelly on abortion in one of her first ads after the two of them advanced from a four-candidate primary last week. In the spot, Protasiewicz labels Kelly as too extreme, claiming, "For years, Kelly was on the payroll of a radical anti-abortion group working to take away women’s rights." The ad references a 2016 letter of recommendation from Heather Weininger, the executive director of Wisconsin Right to Life. The letter came when Kelly applied for an appointment to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. "Dan Kelly is someone who I have known professionally for many years and who has provided great counsel to Wisconsin Right to Life in legal manners, as well as to a previous employer of mine, and has done great work with the Federalist Society in Wisconsin," Weininger wrote. Weininger and Kelly's campaign spokesperson, Chad Doran, did not respond to emails Monday asking what work Kelly did for the group. Wisconsin Right to Life's legislative and political action committee director, Gracie Skogman, said in an email that Kelly "has never been on Wisconsin Right to Life’s payroll, as mentioned in that ad" but did not respond to emails seeking additional details about what work he did.

His endorsement by Wisconsin Right to Life was raised in that campaign as well, but it did not get as much attention then. Neither Kelly nor Protasiewicz has said exactly how they would rule when the challenge to Wisconsin's abortion ban comes to the court. But both have given clear signals about where they stand. Kelly has expressed opposition to abortion in the past, including in a 2012 blog post in which he said the Democratic Party and the National Organization for Women were committed to normalizing the taking of human life. In addition to Wisconsin Right to Life, Kelly is also endorsed by Wisconsin Family Action and Pro-Life Wisconsin.

Story tips can be sent to </i><a href="mailto:[email protected]" id="LPlnk367574"><i>[email protected]</i></a><i> and on Twitter: @briansflood. </i></p></div></div></div> | Members of the legacy media have seethed since the release of Special Counsel Robert Hur's damning report that fueled more questions about President Biden’s mental acuity, rushing to defend the 81-year-old against claims he doesn’t have the mental capacity to remember key details of his life. On Thursday, Hur released his report, which did not recommend criminal charges against the president for mishandling classified documents. Hur, though, described Biden as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory." While many high-profile liberals have appeared panicked or concerned about the report, others have fumed at the media for covering the news, reprimanded Hur for mentioning the memory issues, or simply insisted Biden is just fine. The New York Times went with the "Republicans pounce" framing when covering Biden's reported memory issues. BIDEN LASHES OUT AT REPORTERS ASKING ABOUT AGE CONCERNS AFTER SPECIAL COUNSEL REPORT: 'THAT IS YOUR JUDGMENT!' CNN brought back former legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin for the occasion, and he scolded Hur for making "unnecessary points" about Biden’s advanced age. "Part of that report was an outrage, it was a disgrace. I mean, the idea that they that he would make such a big point of Biden being elderly is not something a prosecutor needed to do," Toobin said. Toobin was so fired up about Hur’s report that the Biden campaign shared a clip of him bashing the Special Counsel on its social media platforms. MSNBC’s Ari Melber stressed it's "standard ops" for those being the subject of an investigation to tell investigators, "I don't recall," but quickly accused Hur's critique of Biden's memory as being ageist. "Do you want to get into the age thing? Let's call it what it is. This is ageism snuck into a report clearing the person of any wrongdoing," Melber said. "If you want to get the ageism, young people are told all the time by their lawyers, 'Hey, you're way better off leaning into I don't recall than possibly misstating something to a federal officer or under oath in this case.' So, it's a lot of derogatory stuff." His MSNBC colleague Chris Hayes insisted Hur was "frustrated and angry" that he "didn't get more" from his probe into Biden so he made it about age before Rachel Maddow chimed in, declaring Biden still "rides a bike." MSNBC HOSTS DEFEND BIDEN, ACCUSE SPECIAL COUNSEL OF SNEAKING 'AGEISM' INTO REPORT: 'HE RIDES A BIKE!' New Republic writer Greg Sargent posted on X that, "Any news org that puts Biden's memory in the headline is actively rewarding Hur's bad faith and giving the Trump campaign what they want, when that bad faith and the Trump camp's glee over it should *itself* be the story." Hur, throughout the more than 300-page report, said "it would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict" Biden of a serious felony "that requires a mental state of willfulness," and said he would be "well into his eighties," but some didn’t feel this was worthy of news coverage. Former CNN analyst Asha Rangappa fumed, "Right now, CNN is debating Biden's ‘mental acuity’ instead of discussing the legal distinction between Biden's handling of classified documents and Trump's. Such a disservice to the American public in terms of the relevant differences between the candidates they will be voting for." Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann raged that Hur "should be fired immediately" for offering an "amateur medical opinion." Hours after the damning report, Biden held a last-minute White House press conference and remained defiant. Reporters in the room irked Biden by asking about his memory, and concerns about his age with tough questions even coming from journalists employed by liberal outlets. However, left-leaning pundits on TV and social media were in damage-control mode. FLASHBACK: DEMS RAN DEFENSE ON BIDEN'S AGE BEFORE SPECIAL COUNSEL PUT DAMNING SPOTLIGHT ON HIS ‘POOR MEMORY’ Journalist Brian Karem, who was a regular thorn in Trump’s side during his time as a CNN contributor, praised Biden simply for showing up to defend himself. "He stood. He took questions. He took responsibility. He pushed back. He defended himself without belittling anyone," Karem posted on X. "Tonight showed us the greatest weakness and strengths of the Biden presidency: He's good in front of the camera. He needs to show up more often." New York Times magazine writer Jonathan Chait wrote that it was "a pretty effective performance by Biden." During Biden’s presser that was intended to signal he’s not too told for the Oval Office, he referred to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi as the "president of Mexico." This gaffe was no big deal to Chait. "I share the concern about Biden's age, but IMO the Mexico comment is a who-cares. Non-old people make mistakes like that off the cuff all the time," Chait said. Former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan used Biden’s blunder to evoke Trump while dinging the media for covering the president’s mistakes.

NO CHARGES FOR BIDEN AFTER SPECIAL COUNSEL PROBE INTO IMPROPER HANDLING OF CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS Former CNN reporter John Harwood also defended the gaffe. "Biden's press conference showed the same thing his performance in office has shown for 3 years: he can do the job," he wrote. "Mexico for Egypt meant nothing… but the GOP political apparatus is a bad-faith enterprise and mainstream press has been knocked silly by financial/political pressure."

"We have had soft diplomacy with them for along time, giving them aid with no conditions whatsoever. We've got to stop that," said retired Gen. Jack Keane. "And that's the reality of that -- maintain the relationship and change the conditions of that relationship so that when we provide them support there's conditions that go along with that, and we want certain things back for that." "I would tie whatever aid money we are giving to Pakistan, if they deserve any at all -- to access (the) drone base, keeping the supply lines open, working rigorously with us on counter terrorism," said Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta have offered their condolences over the deaths, which Afghan officials say was the result of a request for NATO backup following an attack on Afghan troops from the Pakistan border region. Other senior officials have also been in contact with Pakistani officials, said National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor. "Senior U.S. civilian and military officials have been in touch with their Pakistani counterparts from Islamabad, Kabul and Washington to express our condolences, our desire to work together to determine what took place, and our commitment to the U.S.-Pakistan partnership which advances our shared interests, including fighting terrorism in the region," Vietor said. NATO and U.S. forces are now investigating the incident, which led to Pakistan ordering the allies to vacate an air base that has been used as a backup installation when nasty weather prevents the drones from returning to bases in Afghanistan. Nonetheless, Pakistani Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar told Clinton on Sunday that the alleged NATO attack negated all progress in improving the damaged alliance between the two countries. The Pakistani foreign minister's office said Khar told Clinton in a phone call that the alleged NATO attack was unacceptable, showed complete disregard for human life and sparked rage within Pakistan. But the new trough -- following Pakistan's anger at U.S. silence before its raid on the compound where Usama bin Laden was found -- may not be lasting. Aside from the fact the allies are less reliant on Pakistan because they have reduced shipments of non-lethal supplies from there into Afghanistan, Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., said the Pakistanis are dependent on billions in U.S. aid dollars. "There's a lot of diplomacy that has to occur and it has to be tough diplomacy in the sense that they need to understand that our support for them financially is dependent on their cooperation with us. But it's not the kind of situation where you just cut off all assistance because we do need their (location) in the region," Kyl said. Charles "Cully" Stimson, a former assistant defense secretary for detainees, said military-to-military relations remain "quite good" but an appeasement between the two nations will require presidential leadership. President Obama needs to "personally appeal" to Pakistan's leaders, he said, to help "cool things down."

Marine Gen. Frank McKenzie said in an interview with The Associated Press at the Pentagon that despite the shift by U.S. forces to a non-combat role in Iraq, they will still provide air support and other military aid for Iraq's fight against the Islamic State. Noting that Iranian-backed militias want all Western forces out of Iraq, he said an ongoing uptick in violence may continue through December. DOJ FORFEITS LARGEST-EVER WEAPONS CACHE SEIZED FROM IRANIAN VESSELS "They actually want all U.S. forces to leave, and all U.S. forces are not going to leave," he said, adding that as a result, "that may provoke a response as we get later into the end of the month. The Iraqi government earlier Thursday announced the conclusion of talks on ending the U.S. combat mission against IS. U.S. forces have been largely in an advisory role for some time, so the announced transition changes little. The announcement reflects a July decision by the Biden administration to end the U.S. combat mission in Iraq by Dec. 31. "We've drawn down from bases we didn't need, we've made it harder to get at us. But the Iraqis still want us to be there. They still want the presence, they still want the engagement," said McKenzie. "So as long as they want it, and we can mutually agree that's the case — we're going to be there." He said he believes Islamic State militants will continue to be a threat in Iraq and that the group will "keep recreating itself, perhaps under a different name." The key, he said, will be to ensure that ISis not able to coalesce with other elements around the globe and become increasingly strong and dangerous. America invaded Iraq in 2003, and at the peak point had more than 170,000 troops battling insurgents in the country and later working to train and advise Iraqi forces. All U.S. forces were withdrawn at the end of 2011, but just three years later, American troops were back to help Iraq beat back the Islamic State group, which had swept across the border from Syria to gain control of a large swath of the country. EXPLOSION HEARD NEAR IRANIAN NUCLEAR SITE NATANZ The U.S. presence in Iraq has long been a flash point for Tehran, but tensions spiked after a January 2020 U.S. drone strike near the Baghdad airport killed a top Iranian general. In retaliation, Iran launched a barrage of missiles at al-Asad airbase, where U.S. troops were stationed. More than 100 service members suffered traumatic brain injuries in the blasts. More recently, Iranian proxies are believed responsible for an assassination attempt last month on Iraq's Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi. And officials have said they believe Iran was behind the October drone attack at the military outpost in southern Syria where American troops are based. No U.S. personnel were killed or injured in the attack. "I think an attack to kill the prime minister is a pretty significant event," McKenzie said. "I think that's a signpost of the desperation that they're under right now." FOLDS OF HONOR CEO ON ‘FOX & FRIENDS’: MILITARY FAMILIES ARE GETTING HELP THIS HOLIDAY SEASON McKenzie, who has headed U.S. Central Command for nearly three years and traveled extensively throughout the region, painted a picture that reflected the recent upheaval in Afghanistan, where U.S. troops departed at the end of August. On Afghanistan, McKenzie said the al-Qaida extremist group has grown slightly since U.S. forces left and that the ruling Taliban leaders are divided about their 2020 pledge to break ties with the group. He said the departure of the U.S military and intelligence assets from the country has made it "very hard, not impossible" to ensure that neither al-Qaida nor the Islamic State group's Afghanistan affiliate can pose a threat to the United States. Like the Taliban's long campaign to get Americans out of Afghanistan, Iran and its proxies have battled to get the U.S. out of Iraq and the broader Middle East. ARMY TO AWARD 39 PURPLE HEARTS FOR SOLDIERS INJURED IN 2020 IRAN MISSILE ATTACK Iran, he said, believes that campaign won't affect the nuclear negotiations that were long stalled but are now restarting. But, he said, "I think it's a dangerous position for the Iranians to maintain, because I think they're not going to be able to decouple those two things." McKenzie said that as NATO begins to expand its presence in Iraq as planned, the U.S. will refine its force there. And the total U.S. force presence will depend on future agreements with Iraq's government.

The memo from White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients is addressed to Cabinet secretaries and directs departments and agencies to "submit their agency-specific delegation of authority protocols by Friday, January 12, 2024, to the Office of Cabinet Affairs." "The White House is conducting a review of agency protocols for a delegation of authority from Cabinet Members," the memo states. "The purpose of this memo is to direct your agencies to submit your existing protocols for a delegation of authority to the White House Office of Cabinet Affairs, and to ensure an updated process for such delegations in the interim. The Office of Cabinet Affairs will convey these protocols to the White House Chief of Staff." The memo says that while the review is "ongoing," Cabinet agencies "must ensure" they follow procedures "in the event that a delegation of authority is required." SECRETARY OF DEFENSE LLOYD AUSTIN REMAINS HOSPITALIZED AFTER MYSTERY PROCEDURE; DOD REMAINS MUM ON RELEASE The memo directs the agencies to "notify the Offices of Cabinet Affairs and White House Chief of Staff in the event of a delegation of authority or potential delegation." READ THE MEMO - APP USERS, CLICK HERE: It also directs agencies to "document in writing that the delegation of authority is in effect." The memo comes after it was revealed that Austin was hospitalized for days without notifying the White House. The Pentagon confirmed Tuesday that Austin went under general anesthesia for a prostatectomy on Dec. 22, 2023. "His prostate cancer was detected early, and his prognosis is excellent," Walter Reed Hospital said. Austin was on leave at the time of the procedure, and he returned home the next day. The hospital said Austin started to experience "severe pain" on Jan. 1 and was admitted to the intensive care unit ICU, where the medical team treated a urinary tract infection. Austin was also treated for a backup of his small intestines with a tube placed through his nose to drain his stomach. Walter Reed said it anticipates him making a "full recovery although this can be a slow process." DEFENSE SECRETARY AUSTIN HAS NO PLANS TO RESIGN, PENTAGON SAYS Austin did not notify the chairman of the Joint Chiefs or his deputy until the following day. The White House and President Biden were unaware until Jan. 4, and Congress and the press were notified on Jan. 5. Calls for Biden to remove Austin from his post and for Austin to resign have been mounting, but the White House said Austin will remain in his post.
