Universal Studios unleashes first all-female Halloween haunted house to counter ‘male-centric’ genre

[ad_1]


Universal Studios hopes to « create powerful female characters » to reinvent the « male-centric » horror genre at its annual Halloween event.Earlier this year, Universal announced the themes of eight new haunted mazes as part of the Halloween Horror Nights 2024. One new addition was called « Universal Monsters: Eternal Bloodlines, » a new all-female horror character attraction featuring the Bride of Frankenstein, Van Helsing’s daughter, She-Wolf and Dracula’s daughter.In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Halloween Horror Nights creative director John Murdy revealed this was intentional to push back against the « hierarchy » of Universal movie monsters that have been « all guys. »UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RELEASES DETAILS ABOUT THE EPIC UNIVERSE, THE PARK OPENING ITS DOORS NEXT YEAR »I want to create powerful female characters, » Murdy says. « When horror started, it was pretty male-centric. Even into the ’80s — it was Freddy, Jason, Leatherface, Michael Myers. That’s what we started doing. It was that genre of horror. But as time has gone on, and the event has grown and evolved, we’ve kept an open mind about embracing all horror. »Murdy said the inspiration came from the popularity of a 2021 haunted maze that was centered around the « Bride of Frankenstein, » giving him the confidence that an all-female take on the attraction could work. »I really love the female-centric take, » Murdy says. « I have two daughters, and honestly I have probably one of the world’s largest collections of Universal Monsters paraphernalia. It’s in my house here in L.A., so since the time they were babies, they were in the monster room. I have pictures of them kissing the busts of Frankenstein, so they knew this as normal as kids. Like me, they have a weird emotional attachment to them, and I want to create powerful female characters for my kids. »CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE »My 11-year-old is coming for the first time, » Murdy added. « Up until now, she’s never asked, but she said, ‘I think I’m ready.’ And I want her to see female representation. » »Universal Monsters: Eternal Bloodlines » opened on Aug. 30 at Universal Orlando and Sept. 5 at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Trump reveals which US rival will be his first phone call if re-elected

[ad_1]


Former President Donald Trump said Monday afternoon that his « first call » if re-elected to the Oval Office will be made to Chinese President Xi Jinping to enforce a trade deal from the end of his tenure as 45th president. « My first call, I’m going to call up President Xi. I’m going to say, ‘You have to honor the deal you made. We made a deal. You’d buy $50 billion worth of American farm product.’ And I guarantee you he will buy it. 100% he will buy it, » Trump said Monday during a campaign event in Smithton, Pennsylvania. Trump struck a trade deal with China in 2020 that included Beijing’s commitment to halt intellectual property theft, refrain from currency manipulation, cooperate in financial services and purchase an additional $200 billion of U.S. products over two years, including up to $50 billion of U.S. agriculture. In return, the U.S. vowed to reduce tariffs on some products made in China, but keep duties the White House has imposed on $375 billion worth of merchandise. US, CHINA SIGN HISTORIC PHASE ONE TRADE DEALThe deal was dubbed the « phase one » trade agreement and came amid the U.S. and China’s 18-month trade war. »Biden and Harris, they’re never going to enforce anything… That group is a disaster. It’s a disaster for our country in so many ways, but certainly the farmers are one of those ways, » Trump said of the current administration and the deal. The 45th president joined a panel of farmers on Monday afternoon as part of a Protecting America Initiative event, which is a group led by Trump’s acting director of national intelligence Richard Grenell and former New York Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin that works to prevent China from infiltrating U.S. « farmland, food supply, education system, energy production, manufacturing chains, and our national security. »WHY ‘PHASE ONE’ CHINA TRADE DEAL DOESN’T NEED CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL, UNLIKE USMCATrump added that in addition to calling on China to honor its 2020 trade deal, he would tell Xi to enforce a death penalty on fentanyl dealers sending the fatal drug to the U.S. via the Mexico border. STOCKS CELEBRATE PHASE ONE TRADE DEAL WITH RECORD HIGHS »Second thing I’m going to do is, I’m going to say you have to give the death penalty to your fentanyl dealers who are sending fentanyl. You know, in China, they give the death penalty. They don’t have a drug problem because they give the death penalty, » Trump said. « But I’m going to say, second thing — and this affects you also, it affects everybody, » Trump told the panel of farmers. « … We’re losing hundreds of 1,000s of people a year. Comes through the southern border. Now, the weakest border in history. It was the best border we ever had when I was there. We built hundreds of miles of wall and everything else, and it was the best border. Now it’s a weakest. I had a handshake deal with him, it was going to happen very quickly, and then this side didn’t, didn’t do anything about it, he said. And he suggested to me, ‘Anybody sends fentanyl to the United States, it’s the death penalty. They get the maximum penalty.' » « He would have done it. Then we had an election that didn’t exactly work out too good, » Trump added. Trump was joined by Grenell, Zeldin, Republican Senate candidate to represent Pennsylvania Dave McCormick and other political supporters for the Pennsylvania event. Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more at our Fox News Digital election hub.

Indiana judge rules prison must provide transgender surgery for inmate who killed baby

[ad_1]


A federal judge has ruled that it would be unconstitutional for an Indiana prison to deny a transgender inmate sex reassignment surgery following the inmate’s lawsuit against the facility.The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sued the Indiana Department of Corrections last year on behalf of a transgender inmate, Jonathan C. Richardson, also known as Autumn Cordellionè, who was convicted of strangling his 11-month-old stepdaughter to death in 2001.Indiana law, however, prohibits the Department of Corrections from using taxpayer dollars to fund sex reassignment surgeries for inmates. However, the ACLU argues in the lawsuit, filed on Aug. 28, 2023, that the law is a violation of the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition of « cruel and unusual punishment. »ACLU SUES INDIANA OVER DENIAL OF SEX REASSIGNMENT SURGERY FOR INMATE WHO STRANGLED 11-MONTH-OLD TO DEATHThe surgery for Richardson, who is serving out a 55-year prison sentence for reckless homicide, « is a medical necessity, » according to the ACLU lawsuit.Judge Richard Young agreed with the ACLU’s claims and ruled in favor of Cordellioné last week. »Specifically, Ms. Cordellioné has shown that her gender dysphoria is a serious medical need, and that, despite other treatments Defendant has provided her to treat her gender dysphoria, she requires gender-affirming surgery to prevent a risk of serious bodily and psychological harm, » the ruling states.The DOC must now take « all reasonable actions » to ensure Cordellioné undergoes sex surgery, according to the order.Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, a Republican, said in a post on X that his office is still reviewing the judge’s decision, « but you can undoubtedly expect our office to appeal this decision. » »An Indiana inmate convicted of murder wants our taxpayers to fund their gender-altering surgery! Hoosiers do NOT want thism » Rokita said.TRANS INMATE WHO KILLED BABY AND IDENTIFIES AS MUSLIM WOMAN SUES CHAPLAIN FOR ALLEGEDLY NOT ALLOWING HIJABThe original ACLU filing says Cordellioné was diagnosed in 2020 with gender dysphoria and prescribed female hormones and testosterone blockers, both of which he has « consistently taken since that time. » Other accommodations provided for the inmate include « panties, make up, and form fitting clothing. » »Accordingly, at this point gender-affirming surgery is necessary so that her physical identity can be aligned with her gender identity and so her gender dysphoria can be ameliorated, » the lawsuit states. »She believes that the only remedy for her persistent gender dysphoria, and the serious harm it causes her, is to receive gender-affirming surgery, specifically an orchiectomy and vaginoplasty, » it said.Cordellioné has identified as a woman since 6 years old, the ACLU lawsuit also claims, and the inmate is « a woman trapped in a man’s body. »According to court documents, Cordellioné strangled his then-wife’s 11-month-year old daughter to death while she was at work on Sept. 12, 2001. During RCordellioné’s initial interview with one of the detectives, he was calm and « unemotional » when recounting what happened, court documents from Indiana’s Court of Appeals show. TRANSGENDER GOLFER HAILEY DAVIDSON FIRES BACK AT ‘MASSIVE LIE’ AS HOPES OF EARNING LPGA TOUR CARD INCREASEIn a separate lawsuit last year, Cordellioné filed a civil lawsuit against the prison chaplain for allegedly prohibiting him from wearing a hijab outside his immediate bed quarters, despite identifying as a Muslim woman.

Cruz race now a ‘tossup’ should be warning for Texas GOP, says expert

[ad_1]


The race between Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Rep. Colin Allred, D-Texas, for Senate in Texas is heating up, something one expert believes should serve as a warning to Republicans in the dependably red state. »Texas is an interesting political environment and will become a bellwether within the next decade, » Jimmy Keady, the founder and president of JLK Political Strategies, told Fox News Digital. « With the recent influx of West Coasters, and a fast-growing Hispanic population, recent elections in Texas are closer than Republicans want. »The comments come as Cruz seeks to fend off yet another tight challenge from a Democratic opponent, this time from Allred, who has represented Texas’ 32nd Congressional District in the Dallas area since 2019.CRUZ INTERRUPTED BY ANTI-ISRAEL AGITATOR WHO YELLED, ‘F—ING JEWS’ DURING HEARING ON ‘HATE’While the Real Clear Politics polling average shows Cruz with a five-point lead in the race, there are some troubling signs for the Republican incumbent, including recent polls that show Cruz with a lead close to within the margin of error.Allred has looked to capitalize on the momentum, taking to social media to highlight a Morning Consult poll that showed him with a slim lead in the race. »For the first time in this race, a new poll has us leading Ted Cruz by 1 point. I don’t know about y’all but I’m fired up and ready to WIN, » Allred said on X. « We’ve got 47 days, let’s do this Texas. »Prominent Republicans have noticed the challenge, with Trump campaign senior adviser Chris LaCivita taking to X to question what is « wrong with the Senate race in Texas » and calling for « some real professionals » to « save » Cruz.TEXAS DEM’S SENATE AD FEATURES BORDER WALL HE ONCE BLASTED AS ‘RACIST’The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.Some polls leading up to Cruz’s 2018 Senate race with former Rep. Beto O’Rourke, D-Texas, showed a similarly close race, though Cruz was able to hold off the Democratic challenger by under three percentage points.But that close win was also a stark departure from Cruz’s 2012 victory, when he easily topped former Texas Democratic state Rep. Paul Sadler by nearly 16 percentage points.That narrowing of the margins in Texas should have Republicans on edge, Keady argued, though he stressed he believed Cruz would be safe in 2024. »Texas will stay red this November and Ted Cruz will win re-election, » Keady said. « But Republicans should not take the threat of losing this state lightly. As the Republican Party makes a play for blue states, Democrats are going to start making a play for red states… to hold these seats, Republicans will have to stay disciplined on messaging and prioritize candidate recruitment. »The Cruz campaign did not immediately respond to a Fox News Request for comment.

Harris needs to do more interviews to win over undecided swing state voters, urges CNN commentator

[ad_1]


CNN political commentator S.E. Cupp urged on Monday that Vice President Kamala Harris needed to do more interviews if she wanted to win over undecided voters because they « still have questions » about the vice president. »Kamala Harris still has to introduce herself to people. We‘re hearing that over and over again from swing state voters, they don‘t know her enough, so they should both want another debate, » Cupp said, noting Trump needed to change the momentum in the race. « They still have questions about Kamala Harris. »Harris has sat for a few interviews since emerging as the Democratic nominee but has yet to hold a formal press conference. « So they might stay home. They might vote third party but, they are wanting to hear more from Kamala Harris, » Cupp said, referring to undecided voters. « She has identified the correct problems, they say they don‘t have enough specifics on the solutions.

This is not just S.E. Cupp or journalism asking for more interviews, right? This is because voters are telling us they still have questions. And that media interaction could come in the form of a town hall. It could be podcasts and other kinds of unconventional media, but she‘s got to do more, » Cupp warned. Harris sat for an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, alongside her running mate Gov. Tim Walz, following over a month of pressure and questions surrounding her first sit-down.

Patricia Heaton leads fightback campaign against antisemitism on college campuses: ‘Have to stand up’

[ad_1]


Actress Patricia Heaton couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw Hamas body camera footage, flaunting the terror group’s attacks against Israel on social media last October 7.After students across U.S. college campuses erupted in protest, Heaton decided to take matters into her own hands to fight back. »I couldn’t believe it, and I was outraged, » the « Everybody Loves Raymond » star told Fox News on Monday. »I looked around for everyone else who was going to be outraged… and it was very silent, so my partner and I created the October 7th Coalition or O7C to help Christians activate, to be as visibly and vocally supportive of Israel, the Jewish people, and fight antisemitism »ACTRESS PATRICIA HEATON RALLIES CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY TO FIGHT ANTISEMITISM: ‘IT’S UP TO US’ TO DO SOMETHINGJewish Americans have been subjected to antisemitism in various ways, with incidents of Jewish-owned businesses being vandalized with Nazi symbols, protesters blocking some Jewish students from entering class and now even some Jewish students seeing their mezuzah – a piece of parchment containing a prayer that is commonly fixed to a door frame – disappear from their dorms.Harvard student Sarah Silverman described her experience in an op-ed published in The Harvard Crimson earlier this month, writing in part, « I bounded out of my Thayer dorm, toothbrush and toothpaste in hand, when I noticed something was missing. In the place where my mezuzah — a Jewish ritual object traditionally placed on doorposts — had been so tightly secured, only a bit of sticky adhesive I had used to hang it remained. »The mezuzah was later discovered across the hallway, two doors down from Silverman, and tucked into a wall. PATRICIA HEATON DEFENDS CHIEFS KICKER FOLLOWING GRADUATION SPEECH BACKLASH: ‘HE’S NOT A MONSTER' »I am left to speculate whether this was a targeted act. Worst of all, I’m left wondering whether someone on my floor — or even someone I had just met — hated my identity so much that they felt compelled to frighten me, » she continued later in the piece.Stories like Silverman’s inspired Heaton and O7C to raise awareness with the #Myzuzah/Yourzuzah campaign, which encourages participants to record and post a video of themselves putting up a mezuzah and using the hashtag #myzuzahyourzuzah. »We have to stand up for the Jewish people… so that’s what we’ve been working on, » she said.

Democrats privately worry Trump’s support among White working class could sway the election: Report

[ad_1]


Democrats are privately worried about Vice President Kamala Harris’ ability to shore up votes among White, working-class voters – an important demographic to securing victory in the November election.According to a new report from Politico, while members of the Democratic Party are publicly expressing confidence, behind closed doors, officials and allies fear that former President Donald Trump could shatter the Blue Wall he broke down eight years ago. »Candidly, Trump has a solid, solid base of working-class people that have bought into his message, » Jimmy Williams, president of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades, told Politico. »It’s movable and it’s been moving. But it’s not like some tide that’s turned, » he said.KAMALA HARRIS HIT FOR BEING VAGUE, DODGING QUESTIONS IN RECENT INTERVIEWS: ‘SHE OWES US THESE ANSWERS’The fresh concern comes as the Teamsters labor union chose to withhold an endorsement from Harris last week following internal polling that showed higher favorability for Trump among respondents.Democrats told Politico that Trump may garner unexpectedly high support among union members – especially men. They also say Harris must work harder to win over the White, working-class voting bloc which comprises a large percentage of the Rust Belt electorate.One pro-Harris union official, who Politico granted anonymity, said the polling was a « red flag » for Democrats and was reminiscent of 2016, when Hillary Clinton underperformed among union households. »Hard not to have HRC flashbacks right now, to be honest, that stuff might be wrong beneath the surface, » the official said. « I hope it’s not. »Swing-state Democrats also claimed that Harris is not criticizing Trump enough on past comments he has made regarding issues that matter to older voters, such as Social Security and Medicare.HARRIS’ CRITICS SOUND OFF AFTER VP IS ENDORSED BY IRS-AFFILIATED UNION: ‘GET READY TO BE TAXED TO DEATH' »I’m worried about her with [seniors]… most of all, I just think they don’t know her, » one anonymous Pennsylvania Democratic elected official told Politico. « She should be coming in on Medicare and Social Security like non-f—ing stop. »Another Democratic elected official in Pennsylvania expressed similar concerns. »How much time do you hear the top of the ticket talking about that issue? Almost nothing. They just have to talk about it more, » the official said.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPTrump is leading Harris in Arizona by five points in a 50%-45% spread, and he holds a similar 49%-45% lead in Georgia, according to a poll on Monday by The New York Times. Harris is closer to the former president in North Carolina, however, where the race sits at 49%-47%.The Times survey comes days after a Fox News national poll found Harris leading Trump by two points in a 50%-48% match-up.

Vivek Ramaswamy warns GOP could be in for ‘rude surprise’ unless they answer who they are

[ad_1]


Republicans say they believe in God, family, and country – bringing self-governance and the revolutionary ideals of 1776 into 2024. But former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy shared a dirty little secret about those beliefs he says the mainstream media won’t tell you. »It’s not just Republicans who share those ideals. Most Americans actually do, » Ramaswamy said in his new roundtable Fox Nation series exploring the « truths » behind some of the biggest issues Americans face. »I traveled this country as a presidential candidate last year and, if I learned one thing, it’s that we’re not really as divided as the media would have you believe. It turns out that 80% of us in this country share the same values in common. And here’s the thing. They’re afraid to talk about it in the open. »A VISION FOR AMERICA: VIVEK RAMASWAMY BREAKS DOWN CONSERVATIVE ‘TRUTHS’ IN NEW FOX NATION SERIESThe multi-part series « Truths with Vivek Ramaswamy, » aired in condensed format on the Fox News Channel at 10 p.m. Eastern on Sunday, also debuting on the Fox Nation platform on the same date. There, the Trump ally and renowned entrepreneur posed a serious question about the anticipated red wave that turned to a mere ripple in 2022 — could Republican laziness be to blame?He made an equally bold prediction for 2024: unless the GOP changes up its game, this election could have the same outcome.  VIVEK RAMASWAMY ‘WOULD CONSIDER’ TAKING JD VANCE’S SENATE SEAT IF ASKED »We railed against the Democrats, but without offering an alternative vision of our own, » he said. »I’m worried we’re going to be in for a rude surprise this November unless we fix that starting right now… » »We’re not up against a candidate here. We’re up against a machine. We’re not going to win this by obsessing over the other side’s shenanigans. We’re going to win this by answering who we are and what we actually stand for. »VIVEK RAMASWAMY PANS LINKEDIN’S CLAIM HIS ACCOUNT WAS LOCKED ‘IN ERROR’ AFTER CALLING OUT CENSORSHIPRamaswamy also made an appearance on « Fox & Friends Weekend, » Sunday, where he previewed the series and his new corresponding book, « Truths, » in a discussion with co-host Pete Hegseth. »The way we find our path to truth is through free speech and open debate, including with those who disagree with us, » he said. »So the point of the book is to arm people at home with arguments, to talk to their left-leaning friends, their left-leaning family members at the dinner table. »CLICK HERE TO JOIN FOX NATION

IDF ops in Beirut bring closure for some; Hezbollah terrorists who killed Americans now dead

[ad_1]


JERUSALEM — Israel secured long-overdue justice for the family members of American military and diplomatic personnel murdered by Hezbollah, including the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut.The initial lack of alleged enthusiasm from the Biden administration and Democratic lawmakers for the targeted killings of senior Hezbollah mass murderers sparked criticism among top counter-terrorism experts. Take the example of Israel’s elimination on Friday of Ibrahim Aqil, who was wanted by the United States for both the bombing of the U.S. embassy, which killed 63 people, and the Marine barracks bombing in Beirut in 1983, when 241 U.S. military personnel were killed by the Iranian-backed terror group Hezbollah.IRAN OFFICIAL ADMITS COUNTRY’S ROLE IN TERROR BOMBING THAT KILLED 241 US MILITARY MEMBERS: REPORTThe U.S. had a $7 million bounty on Aqil’s head, who was the commander of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force. In July, Israel assassinated Hezbollah military Chief of Staff Fuad Shukr, who, like Aqil, was involved in the 1983 Beirut bombings. Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo wrote on X » The families of the Marines killed in Beirut have waited decades for justice. I’m thankful Israel helped deliver it by taking out one of the world’s most vicious terrorists—Ibrahim Aqil. Let this be a message to Iran and Iran’s proxies everywhere. »A Washington Post report cited Ryan Crocker, whose office was on the fourth floor of the embassy when the blast went off, as commenting on Aqil’s death, « It is still a source of some satisfaction that he finally got it. » Crocker went on to serve as U.S. ambassador to Syria, Iraq and several other nations. Max Abrahms, a leading expert on counter-terrorism and a tenured professor of political science at Northeastern University, told Fox News Digital that, « Targeted killings have been a cornerstone of U.S. counterterrorism since the 9/11 attacks. And yet, Israel killing Hezbollah terrorists with American blood on their hands has been rebuked by Democrat leaders. »He added « The fact that even targeted killings of terrorists with American blood stained hands get rebuked unmasks the Democratic leadership, which spent the last year pretending that it objected to the Gaza campaign after 10/7 because of its negative impact on the Palestinian population. As we have seen, the Democratic leadership opposes all Israeli measures to counterterrorism, even ones perfectly executed that eliminate any civilian harm. »Criticism of the Biden administration’s initial lackluster response to the killing of Aqil on Friday appeared to prompt a response from U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, who called Aqil’s death « a good outcome » on Saturday.HEZBOLLAH BIGGER CHALLENGE THAN HAMAS TO ISRAEL: ‘CROWN JEWEL IN THE IRANIAN EMPIRE OF TERROR’ »That individual has American blood on his hands and has a Reward for Justice price on his head, » Sullivan said. He added « He is somebody who the United States promised long ago we would do everything we could to see brought to justice. »White House National Security Council communications adviser John Kirby told « Fox News Sunday with Shannon Bream » that « Nobody, including Secretary Austin, is shedding a tear over the death of Mr. Aqil, who does have American blood on his hands. I think the world’s better for not having him walking around on the planet anymore. But that doesn’t mean we want to see a full out war. We don’t believe again, that that’s in the best interest of the Israeli people. »David Wurmser, a former senior adviser for nonproliferation and Middle East strategy for former Vice President Dick Cheney, told Fox News Digital that, « The success of Israel’s aims is a multi-faceted American interest. First, the demise of so many prominent Hezbollah leaders involves the death of many who are on the American wanted lists, on many of whom the United States has placed hefty bounties. Despite the bounties, however, it was clear the United States had long ago abandoned any effort to bring any of these killers of American servicemen, diplomats and intelligence officers to justice. Their wholesale demise in a matter of two or three days by Israel only further highlights the gap between the lofty rhetoric of a half century of the American foreign policy establishment and the more dishonorable reality. »He added « That the U.S. is now taking a de-escalatory position – which creates equivalence between our democratic ally and the terrorists that have the blood of thousands of Americans on their hands, is simply disgraceful. At least now, albeit at Israel’s hands rather than ours, our sacred servicemen have been avenged. »Wurmser noted that « In the Middle East, we are fortunate to have a powerful and loyal ally that shares our values, Israel, that is attracting a collection of other friendly states to begin to forge a local regional alliance to challenge the region’s forces of instability, foremost among them being Iran’s regime. »Matthew Levitt, the director of the Reinhard Program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence at The Washington Institute, told Fox News Digital that, « Over a short period of time, Israel recently eliminated Hezbollah terrorists who were there from the beginning and played hands on rolls and attacks against Americans in the 1980s. U.S. intelligence has been tracking these people for decades. »ISRAEL DEGRADES IRAN-BACKED HEZBOLLAH TERRORISTS IN SPECTACULAR PAGER EXPLOSION OPERATION: EXPERTSHe added « But these strikes also have very current implications, given that Fuad Shukr and Ibrahim Aqil, together with Ali Karaki, have been jointly running as well as Islamic Jihad organization as a triumvirate since the death of Mustafa Badreddine in Syria several years ago. They were foot soldiers in the 1980s and rose to the highest ranks of the organization. »Lisa Daftari, an Iranian-American expert on the Islamic Republic and editor-in-chief of the Foreign Desk, told Fox News Digital that, « In eliminating Ibrahim Aqil, Israel has once again demonstrated its unwavering commitment to combating global terrorism—a fight that serves the interests of all nations dedicated to opposing radical extremism. »She added, « The Biden administration should openly commend Israel’s efforts and provide robust support, rather than calling for restraint. It’s crucial to recognize that if groups like Hezbollah and Hamas cease their hostilities, we may achieve peace. But if Israel halts its operations now, it will continue to endure relentless terrorism, similar to the attacks witnessed on October 7. Our collective security hinges on Israel’s resolve to dismantle these threats. »Retired Marine Corps Sergeant Major Steve Aitken, who was stationed on a boat offshore as the injured were transferred to ships for medical treatment following the terrorist attack, told the Washington Post that Aqil’s death was « God’s judgment, » adding, « You might get away, but you’re not going to get by … Our memory is long. Israel’s is even longer. »Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., also stressed the significance of Israel’s assassination of Aqil writing on X, « Ibrahim Aqil was a vicious terrorist mastermind who helped murder hundreds of Americans. On behalf of the families of the Marines killed in the Beirut bombings—and on behalf of all Americans—I’m grateful justice has finally been served to this killer. »Aqil also oversaw Hezbollah’s operations in Syria, where he enabled Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad to wipe out hundreds of thousands of his own Arab citizens.

Rapper 50 Cent shares why people ‘identify’ with Trump after assassination attempt

[ad_1]


Rapper 50 Cent said he would stay out of the election, but that didn’t stop him from admitting people like him identify with former President Trump with his reaction after his first assassination attempt.The rapper, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, sat down for an interview Saturday morning to discuss his new book « The Accomplice » where he was asked about his stance on the presidential election. »I’d like to stay out of it. You know, well, look, things happen like Trump gets shot and they start playing ‘Many Men’ and it jumps 250% in streaming, » Jackson said.This referenced his 2003 hit « Many Men, » a song that Trump later walked out to during a livestream a few days after the first assassination attempt against him. The song included lyrics such as « Many men wish death upon me. Blood in my eye, dawg, and I can’t see, I’m tryin’ to be what I’m destined to be. »RAPPER 50 CENT SAYS ‘MAYBE TRUMP IS THE ANSWER’ AFTER SEEING NYC GIVE PREPAID CREDIT CARDS TO MIGRANTSJackson later remarked on relating to Trump after that moment, particularly after Trump raised his fist in the now iconic image. »He says fight. All right. And that’s exactly what I did after I got shot. I just went into fight mode, » he said. « People identify with it that way. »50 Cent has occasionally flirted with the idea of supporting Trump in the past. In June, he told CBS News congressional correspondent Nikole Killion that he believed Black men were « identifying with Trump » because « they’ve got RICO charges [too]. »Earlier this year, he added, « I think Trump’s gonna be president again, but I’m not gonna say that. »Most notably, in October 2020, Jackson told his Instagram followers to vote for Trump after seeing a report suggesting New York City residents could be taxed at a rate of 62% under President Biden. »WHAT THE F–K! (VOTE ForTRUMP) IM OUT, » Jackson wrote. « F–K NEW YORK The KNICKS never win anyway. I don’t care Trump doesn’t like black people 62% are you out of ya f–king mind. »CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREHe later recanted his support in a Twitter post one week later. »Another spin F–k Donald Trump, I never liked him, » the rapper wrote. « For all I know he had me set up and had my friend Angel Fernandez killed but that’s history.

‘Wonder Woman’ star Lynda Carter snubs Republican sister, endorses opponents in Arizona race

[ad_1]


Lynda Carter, the actress famous for playing Wonder Woman in the 1970s, slighted her conservative sister last weekend by endorsing her opponents in an Arizona state representative race.Pamela Carter, who served as a state director for the Trump campaign in 2020, is currently running for Arizona’s Legislative District 4. Carter is running as a Republican, along with her fellow conservative candidate, Matt Gress.Instead of endorsing her sister or staying quiet, Carter opted to publicly announce her support for the two Democratic opponents, Karen Gresham and Kelli Butler. »As a native Arizonan, I am proud to endorse @KelliButlerAZ and @KarenGreshamAZ for the two LD4 seats in Arizona’s State House, » Carter wrote on X on Sept. 14. « Kelli and Karen are both strong, experienced candidates, born and raised in Arizona. »HARRIS-TRUMP SHOWDOWN: WHICH CANDIDATE HOLDS THE EDGE ON THIS CRUCIAL ISSUE »They are working mothers fighting for the rights that matter most to Arizonans, especially every child’s right to a quality education, » she added.The 73-year-old actress has a history of endorsing Democratic candidates, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016 and President Biden in 2020.Pamela Carter’s platform states that she is committed to tackling inflation, supporting law enforcement and securing the Southern border. The Republican’s campaign website accused her Democratic opponents of « champion[ing] Joe Biden’s open border policies, but this is a critical issue that should not be corrupted by their partisan politics.WHAT THE LATEST FOX NEWS POLL SHOWS IN THE HARRIS-TRUMP 2024 SHOWDOWN »Our open borders are allowing human trafficking, drugs (including fentanyl), gangs, drugs, and violence to pour across our border, in record-setting quantities, » her website reads. « This puts us all at risk, just because politicians are too busy fighting each other to fight for us. » »I believe we should secure the border, enforce Arizona’s laws, and stop the flow of drugs, crime, and violence, » the Republican added. « Legal immigration has long been a source of strength for America and deserves its own updating, but nothing meaningful will succeed until illegal immigration is largely ended. »Two days after she endorsed the Democratic candidates, Carter endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming U.S. presidential election. »I’m voting for @KamalaHarris because she has a proven track record of improving the lives of everyday Americans, » the actress wrote on Sept. 16. « A ‘concept of an idea’ won’t protect your grandparents’ retirement savings. Her policies already do. »Fox News Digital reached out to Pamela Carter’s campaign for comment, but did not immediately hear back.

He confirmed that many women and men have reported a « noticeable improvement in libido after optimizing testosterone. »Some women have also reported an improvement in libido when correcting a deficiency in DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), a hormone the body produces in the adrenal gland, according to the expert.HRT is often referred to as menopause hormone therapy (MHT), a medical treatment to relieve menopause symptoms, according to women’s health and menopause expert Dr. Mary Claire Haver of Friendswood, Texas. »As we approach menopause, the natural decline in estrogen, progesterone and testosterone can lead to symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, muscle and joint pain, brain fog, vaginal dryness and low libido, » she told Fox News Digital. « For many women, these symptoms can severely affect their quality of life. »Hormone therapy works by replenishing the estrogen, progesterone and testosterone levels that the body is no longer producing in sufficient amounts, Haver noted.THE 9 MOST COMMON QUESTIONS WOMEN OVER 40 ASK THEIR DOCTORS, ACCORDING TO A MENOPAUSE EXPERT »The goal is to alleviate symptoms by restoring health-promoting hormone levels, but MHT also has additional benefits, like maintaining bone density, which reduces the risk of osteoporosis – a concern for postmenopausal women, » she added.While women have much lower levels of testosterone compared to men, the hormone is « crucial » to maintaining libido and sexual function in females, according to Haver — in addition to boosting energy and mood.When testosterone levels decline — which occurs as women grow older and approach menopause — a decrease in sexual desire, arousal and satisfaction can result, the expert said.That’s because the hormone acts on a key region of the brain involved in regulating sexual behavior, she added.Studies have shown that for some women, boosting testosterone levels can lead to « noticeable improvements » in sexual health, Haver said. »By increasing testosterone levels, these brain centers become more responsive to sexual stimuli, which can lead to an increase in libido, » she said.Haver encouraged women who are experiencing low libido to consider testosterone therapy as part of a « broader treatment plan. »CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER »The goal is to restore levels to the normal physiological range for women, improving sexual desire without pushing the body into a ‘male’ hormone profile, » she told Fox News Digital.Mayo Clinic confirmed that testosterone therapy may boost sex drive for some women after menopause, but noted that there is limited research on its safety and long-term effectiveness.It has also been shown to cause some side effects. »Most often, other treatments are tried before testosterone, » the clinic stated on its website. « These include low doses of the hormone estrogen, and a type of counseling called sex therapy. Some depression medicines also may boost sex drive. »HRT is « not a one-size-fits-all solution, » and there are potential risks if it’s done inappropriately, Haver warned.IS IT MENOPAUSE? 6 HIDDEN SYMPTOMS WOMEN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT NOW »Studies have shown that estrogen-containing hormone therapy can increase the risk of certain conditions, such as blood clots and stroke, » the doctor said. « Testosterone therapy can also increase the risk of unwanted hair growth, deepening of the voice and acne. »Those risks can vary based on factors like the type of hormones used, the dosage, the delivery method and how long it’s administered, according to Haver. »Every woman’s situation is unique, and we need to balance the potential benefits against the risks, with the proper dosage, formulations and delivery system. »Haver recommends MHT for women who are within 10 years of menopause onset and are under 60 years old — « particularly for those suffering from moderate to severe symptoms. » Some women can feel « dismissed or not fully supported » when discussing sexual health concerns with medical providers, Haver noted. »Sexual function in women can be influenced by hormones, neurotransmitters, mental health, relationship dynamics and even chronic medical conditions, » she said.Effective treatment addresses these root causes rather than just offering « superficial fixes, » she said. »Women need to know that low libido is a legitimate medical concern, not just something they have to ‘push through.' »For more Health articles, visit www.foxnews/healthFor those interested in HRT, Holtz suggested finding a well-established and reputable company or provider with a track record of success.Haver added that it’s essential for women to have a thorough discussion with their medical provider to assess their specific health needs and determine the best treatment plan.Fox News Digital’s Caroline Thayer contributed to this report.

Judge temporarily halts Tennessee law banning adults from helping minors get abortion without parental consent

[ad_1]


A federal judge temporarily blocked Tennessee’s law that prohibits adults from aiding minors in obtaining abortions without parental approval.U.S. District Judge Aleta Trauger said in a Friday ruling that the state cannot « make it a crime to communicate freely » about legal abortion options even in a state that bans abortion at all stages of pregnancy, with some exceptions.The law will now be placed on hold as the case moves through court. »The Tennessee General Assembly apparently determined that, when the topic at hand is ‘abortion trafficking,’ the best interests of the pregnant child are not merely a secondary consideration, but unworthy of particularized consideration at all, » Trauger wrote.TENNESSEE SUED OVER LAW BANNING ADULTS FROM HELPING MINORS GET ABORTIONS WITHOUT PARENTAL CONSENTEarlier this year, lawmakers in Tennessee’s Republican-controlled Legislature passed legislation that was then signed by GOP Gov. Bill Lee making it illegal for an adult who « intentionally recruits, harbors, or transports » a pregnant minor within the state to obtain an abortion without consent from the child’s parents.Anyone convicted of breaking the law would be charged with a Class A misdemeanor, which requires nearly one year in jail. The law does not include exemptions for minors who may have been raped by their parents, but a biological father who raped his daughter and caused her pregnancy cannot pursue civil action.The Tennessee law, which took effect July 1, mimicked Idaho’s « abortion trafficking » law that was enacted last year, the first state to enact such legislation. But a federal judge has since temporarily blocked Idaho’s law as the case moves through court.Shortly before Tennessee’s law was set to take effect, Democratic state Rep. Aftyn Behn and Nashville attorney Rachel Welty filed a lawsuit challenging the statute on the second anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 24, 2022, decision overturning Roe v. Wade, returning the power to make laws regarding abortion back to the states.TRUMP MAKES PLAY FOR WOMEN’S VOTE, VOWS TO ENSURE ‘POWERFUL EXCEPTIONS’ FOR ABORTIONTrauger’s ruling sided with the argument from Welty and Behn that the law was « unconstitutionally vague, » particularly pointing out that the word « recruits » is undefined in the law.The judge also raised concerns about the First Amendment restrictions that she argues the law would impose. »The freedom of speech guaranteed by the First Amendment is not simply a special protection that the Constitution grants to a few, high-profile speakers so that those speakers can hear themselves talk; it is a protection available to everyone, for the interconnected benefit of everyone, because messages do not gain their fullest power by being uttered, but by being spread, » Trauger wrote.Behn called Friday’s ruling a « monumental victory » for free speech and the fight for abortion access. »This ruling doesn’t just protect Tennesseans — it safeguards the freedom to discuss abortion care across state lines, ensuring that we can continue to offer support, share accurate information, and stand up for the rights of those seeking essential health care everywhere, » she told The Associated Press.Abortions are banned in Tennessee at all stages of pregnancy, with exemptions in cases of molar pregnancies, ectopic pregnancies or to save the life of the mother. Doctors must use their « reasonable medical » judgment in determining whether performing an abortion can save the life of the mother or prevent major injury.A group of women is currently suing in a separate case to clarify the state’s abortion ban.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

64 days: Kamala Harris has yet to do formal press conference since emerging as Democratic nominee

[ad_1]


Vice President Kamala Harris has gone 64 days as the presumptive, and now, official Democratic nominee for president without holding an official press conference. Under pressure to sit down for a substantive interview after weeks of stonewalling, Harris finally ended her interview drought last month in Georgia when she was joined by running mate Tim Walz for a pre-taped piece with CNN’s Dana Bash that was a far cry from a traditional press conference. She’s done more interviews since, including this week with the National Association of Black Journalists, and she made time to hang out with supporter Oprah Winfrey on Thursday at a star-studded campaign event.Trump held his third news conference since the beginning of August earlier this month in California, taking the opportunity to roast his opponent’s home state and hold forth on a number of topics, including crime, immigration and inflation.BERNIE SANDERS SAYS HARRIS DROPPING FAR-LEFT POLICIES ‘IN ORDER TO WIN THE ELECTION’Harris has stepped up her interviews in recent weeks, including doing radio hits and a solo sit-down with a Philadelphia TV station.But as for when she’ll actually do a formal press conference as a candidate, that day may never come, at least while she’s still a candidate.Conservative Radio Libre host Jorge Bonilla feels Harris should do a press conference but said it’s almost « irrelevant » because she continues to get a pass. HARRIS DODGES QUESTION ON LOWERING PRICES BY DESCRIBING ‘MIDDLE-CLASS’ ROOTS: NEIGHBORS ‘PROUD OF THEIR LAWN’ »She is highly unlikely to do a press conference because the media have enabled and encouraged her ‘plexiglass basement’ strategy, wherein she preserves the illusion of being out there while remaining wholly inaccessible to the press and therefore unaccountable, » Bonilla told Fox News Digital.Trump has sought to highlight the contrast in media availability between the two, sitting for several lengthy interviews in recent weeks, in addition to his three news conferences.In her interview on Friday in Philadelphia, her answer citing her middle-class upbringing when asked about specifics of her economic policy drew sharp criticism.BARBARA WALTERS WOULD EXPECT KAMALA HARRIS TO DO INTERVIEWS, AUTHOR SAYS: ‘PART OF THE JOB OF BEING PRESIDENT' »You know, I grew up in a neighborhood of folks who were very proud of their lawn, » she said. « And I was raised to believe and to know that all people deserve dignity, and that we as Americans have a beautiful character. You know, we have ambitions and aspirations and dreams, but not everyone necessarily has access to the resources that can help them fuel those dreams and ambitions. « So when I talk about building an opportunity economy, it is very much with the mind of investing in the ambitions and aspirations and the incredible work ethic of the American people and creating opportunity for people, for example, to start a small business. »Fox News Digital’s Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report.
