Saquon Barkley lights it up against former Giants teammates as Daniel Jones gets benched

Saquon Barkley lights it up against former Giants teammates as Daniel Jones gets benched

[ad_1]


MetLife Stadium may not be Saquon Barkley’s home anymore, but it sure didn’t seem that way in the Philadelphia Eagles’ blowout win on the road over the New York Giants. Barkley went into this week not believing Giants fans, the ones who used to shower him with cheers, would boo him. But the reception didn’t matter, as Barkley silenced Giants fans and had Eagles fans jumping for joy after having his best game in his new uniform to date with 176 rushing yards and a touchdown in the 28-3 rout. Barkley only needed 17 rush attempts to torch his old teammates, breaking out chunk yardage runs, including a game-high 55 yards to ultimately set up his three-yard score in the second quarter. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe Eagles as a team rushed for 270 yards, with Kenneth Gainwell going for 56 yards on 13 touches, while quarterback Jalen Hurts had 22 yards as well. Hurts didn’t need to pass much in this game, going just 10-for-14 for 114 yards. But he did find A.J. Brown down the left sideline for a perfect 41-yard touchdown strike to put the Eagles up 14-0. The play also came on fourth-and-3, when the Giants, who were getting pressure on Hurts early, couldn’t get him down this time. EX-GIANTS LINEMAN UNDERSTANDS HOW FANS FEEL AS SAQUON BARKLEY THRIVES WITH EAGLES: ‘MVP OF THE NFL RIGHT NOW’Speaking of the Giants, the scoreboard says it all for the offense, as it couldn’t get a single thing going against an Eagles defense that was disrupting Daniel Jones the entire game. Jones was eventually benched in the second half in favor of Drew Lock, though it’s unknown at the moment if head coach Brian Daboll did so because it was a blowout or due to his poor performance. Jones threw for 99 yards on 14-for-21 through the air, while getting sacked eight times with his offensive line not holding up in the slightest. The Eagles exploited Josh Ezeudu playing left tackle for Andrew Thomas, who is out for the rest of the season after undergoing foot surgery. As a team, the Giants had just 119 yards of offense, while the Eagles posted 339 on the day. Giants owner John Mara said he would have a hard time sleeping if Barkley, the player his team took out of Penn State with the No. 2 overall pick in 2018, went to the Eagles. After what Barkley produced in this game, it’s easy to see why he had that thought process.   Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Israel to strike Lebanon targeting Hezbollah financial assets

Israel to strike Lebanon targeting Hezbollah financial assets

[ad_1]


The Israeli Defense Forces is expected to conduct airstrikes against Lebanon late Sunday targeting financial institutions linked to the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah.Fox News’ Trey Yingst in Israel reports the strikes will specifically target al-Qard al-Hassan « all over Lebanon. » Al-Qard al-Hassan is a unit in Hezbollah to fund terrorist activities like paying operatives and buying arms. The registered nonprofit is sanctioned by both the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, provides financial services and is also used by Lebanese civilians. IDF SAYS ‘MISSION IS NOT OVER’ UNTIL HOSTAGES ARE RETURNED: ‘WE WILL NOT REST’The IDF issued evacuation orders for civilians close to these financial institutions. IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said the strikes will be widespread, targeting not just financial centers in Beirut, but also other Hezbollah strongholds in Lebanon. Fox News is told the goal is to strike at the heart of Hezbollah’s financial support for the conflict with Israel, which has been ongoing since October 2023, the month Hamas militants stormed into Israel, killing nearly 1,200 and taking hundreds more as hostages. NETANYAHU PROMISES RETALIATION FOLLOWING ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT BY HEZBOLLAHA senior intelligence official indicated earlier Sunday that not all of Hezbollah’s money is being held in these financial institutions, but it’s expected to inflict significant damage on the group’s economic abilities. The official noted that there are hundreds of thousands of Lebanese civilians – mostly Shias – who use this banking system, and there are a number of branches in Beirut expected to be targeted. A year of escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah over the war in Gaza turned into all-out war last month, and Israel sent ground troops into Lebanon early this month.Israel’s announcement came a day after U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin called civilian casualties in Lebanon « far too high » in the Israel-Hezbollah war, and urged Israel to scale back some strikes, especially in and around Beirut.Iran supports the Lebanon-based Hezbollah, and the United States is investigating an unauthorized release of classified documents indicating that Israel was moving military assets into place for a military strike in response to Iran’s ballistic missile attack on Oct. 1, according to three U.S. officials. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the matter publicly.This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

Graham says Israel has window to ‘replace Hamas forever’ after Sinwar killing: ‘Door is now open’

Graham says Israel has window to 'replace Hamas forever' after Sinwar killing: 'Door is now open'

[ad_1]


Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Israel has an opportunity to have new leadership in the Gaza Strip, urging action following last week’s killing of Hamas leader and mastermind of the Oct. 7 attacks, Yahya Sinwar. « There’s a window here not only to end the fighting, but to replace Hamas forever, » Graham said in an appearance on NBC’s « Meet the Press. » « And the way you do that, is you have normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel. With the death of Sinwar, the door is now open to not only find a way to get Israel to turn over Gaza and eventually Lebanon, but to have it replaced by an Arab coalition offering a better life to the Palestinians. » « I’ve never been more hopeful that normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel is possible, » he added. « I’ve been working with the Biden administration over a year and a half. I think we’re very close. » IDF SAYS ‘MISSION IS NOT OVER’ UNTIL HOSTAGES ARE RETURNED: ‘WE WILL NOT REST’Graham, who has been working with the Biden administration to broker a deal for Israel and Saudi Arabia to establish diplomatic ties by the end of the year, also told NBC host Kristen Welker that he anticipated a counterattack by Israel against Iran soon but declined to supply a more specific timeline. »I don’t have any direct knowledge, but I know they’re serious about hitting back, » Graham said, referencing Iran’s recent launching of nearly 200 missiles at Israel. « I think it will be soon, and I think it will be a hard hit. But again, the more you can diminish Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas, better for the region. I think a normalization deal between Saudi Arabia and Israel, which is the key, is more possible than ever. » US INVESTIGATING RELEASE OF CLASSIFIED DOCS ON ISRAEL’S PLANNED STRIKE ON IRANMeanwhile, the U.S. is reportedly investigating an unauthorized leak of classified documents with U.S. intelligence regarding Israel’s planned strikes against Iran posted to Telegram last week. Iran supports Hamas and the Lebanon-based Hezbollah, which are both designated by the State Department as foreign terrorist organizations. The U.S. is urging Israel to press for a cease-fire in Gaza following last week’s killing of Sinwar. But neither Israel nor Hamas has shown interest in such a deal after months of negotiations sputtered to a halt in August, The Associated Press reported. Israel’s government said a drone targeted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s house on Saturday, with no casualties, as fighting with Hezbollah and Hamas terrorists showed no pause. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Harris invokes Jimmy Carter in bid to get supporters to vote early

Vice President Kamala Harris implored supporters in Georgia on Saturday to vote early in the election, noting that former President Jimmy Carter has already cast his ballot. »If Jimmy Carter can vote early, you can too, » Harris said during a rally in Atlanta Saturday.Carter, who recently turned 100 years old and has been in hospice care for over a year, voted by mail during the second day of early voting in his home state of Georgia on Wednesday.JIMMY CARTER BECOMES FIRST PRESIDENT TO TURN 100Carter’s grandson, Jason Carter, explained in an interview with CNN that the former president required assistance to be able to cast his ballot. »He’s in hospice care and in Georgia… if you need assistance to vote, you can get that from a family member… so he sat down and told everybody what he wanted to do and was excited about it, » the former president’s grandson said, adding that the ballot was then dropped off for Carter at a local dropbox by a family member.Carter casting his ballot for Harris reportedly was one of the final goals for the former president, according to a Fox 59 report, with Carter telling his son Chip in August that he was « only trying to make it to vote for Kamala Harris. » »President Carter, thank you for your support, » Harris wrote on social media Wednesday after learning of Carter’s vote.JIMMY CARTER’S GRANDSON SAYS FORMER PRESIDENT IS ‘COMING TO THE END’Harris is currently locked in a tight battle with former President Trump in Carter’s home state of Georgia, one of seven swing states that will play an outsized role in determining who wins the presidential election.Trump currently holds a narrow lead of just 1.8 points in the state, according to the Real Clear Politics polling average, while also holding a similarly small lead in the other six swing states. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPTrump won Georgia by just over five percentage points in 2016, but dropped the state to President Biden in 2020 by under one percentage point.The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more at our Fox News Digital election hub.

Elon goes on campaign blitz against government regulations, vows to reveal bizarre alleged schemes

Elon goes on campaign blitz against government regulations, vows to reveal bizarre alleged schemes

[ad_1]


Tech billionaire Elon Musk is on a campaign trail blitz as he rallies support for former President Trump, targeting government regulations as he champions the expansion of American businesses and cutting government red tape. Musk officially endorsed Trump over the summer, when the 45th president survived the first assassination attempt on his life this election cycle, and has since joined the campaign trail in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania to rally support and encourage people to vote. Relying on his decades as a tech visionary and business leader who has personally dealt with tight government regulations, Musk has made cutting red tape a hallmark of his stump speeches and commentary on X. Early Sunday morning, Musk posted on X that he was ready to reveal to the public a bizarre alleged scheme where his company SpaceX was « forced by the government to kidnap seals. » »Tomorrow, I will tell the story of how SpaceX was forced by the government to kidnap seals, put earphones on them and play sonic boom sounds to see if they seemed upset, » Musk posted on Sunday morning. FETTERMAN ISSUES WARNING TO DEMOCRATS AFTER ELON STUMPS FOR TRUMP IN PENNSYLVANIAMusk’s tease came in response to a clip of him saying on Saturday in Pennsylvania that he has a « bunch of nutty stories » related to government overregulation, including how SpaceX had to study the probability of its Starship rocket hitting a whale or shark. « SpaceX had to do this study to see if Starship would hit a shark. And I’m like… it’s a big ocean. There are a lot of sharks. It’s not impossible, but it’s very unlikely. So we said, ‘Fine, we’ll do the analysis. Can you give us the shark data?' » he recounted to laughters from the audience. He said the National Marine Fisheries Service ordered SpaceX to carry out the study. « They were like, ‘No, we can’t give you the shark data.’ Well, then, OK, we’re in a bit of a quandary. How do we solve this shark probability issue? They said, ‘Well, we could give it to our western division, but we don’t trust them.’ I’m like, ‘Am I in a comedy sketch here?' » Musk said in the clip. « Eventually, we got the data and could run the analysis to say, ‘Yeah, the sharks are going to be fine.’ But they wouldn’t let us proceed with the launch until we did this crazy shark analysis. Then we thought, ‘OK, now we’re done.’ But then they said, ‘What about whales?' » Musk continued. If re-elected to the White House, Trump said Musk could take a new position as « Secretary of Cost-Cutting » for the federal government. « He doesn’t want to be in the Cabinet, » Trump told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo last week on « Sunday Morning Futures. » « He just wants to be in charge of cost-cutting. » »We’ll have a new position: Secretary of Cost-Cutting. Elon wants to do that, and we have incredible people. He’s running a big business. He can’t just say, ‘I think I’ll go into the Cabinet.’ Other people can. He can’t, but Elon’s a little bit different in that sense. »Going back to August, when Musk hosted Trump for an interview on X Spaces, he focused his economic criticisms on government overspending as spurring current inflation woes that have rocked Americans’ pocketbooks. FETTERMAN ADMITS ELON MUSK ‘ATTRACTIVE TO A DEMOGRAPHIC’ DEMOCRATS ‘NEED’ TO WIN PENNSYLVANIA »A lot of people just don’t understand where inflation comes from. Inflation comes from government overspending because the checks never bounce when it’s written by the government. So if the government spends far more than it brings in, that increases the money supply. If the money supply increases faster than the rate of goods and services, that’s inflation, » Musk said during their conversation. « So really we need to reduce our government spending, and we need to re-examine… I think we need a government efficiency commission to say like, ‘Hey, where are we spending money that’s sensible. Where is it not sensible?’ »Musk officially hit the campaign trail on behalf of Trump’s candidacy last week, holding a handful of rallies in Pennsylvania – a place Musk said he knows well, citing his Philadelphia residency while attending the University of Pennsylvania in the 1990s. While speaking before an audience in Folsom last week, which is located about 20 miles outside of Philadelphia, Musk highlighted how Space X faced a $140,000 fine from the EPA for using drinking water to cool down a launch pad. « I’ll tell you like a crazy thing, like we got fined $140,000 by the EPA for dumping fresh water on the ground. Drinking water. It’s crazy. I’ll just give you an example of just how crazy it is. And we’re like, ‘Well, we’re using water to cool the launch pad during launch. You know, we’re going to cool the launch pad so it doesn’t overheat. And in excess of caution, we actually brought in drinking water, so clean, super clean water,’ » Musk said to the audience. « And the FAA said, ‘No, you have to pay a $140,000 fine.’ And we’re like, ‘But Starbase is in a tropical thunderstorm area. Sky water falls all the time,’ » Musk recounted, referring to SpaceX’s headquarters in Texas. « ‘That is the same as the water we used’ So, and it’s like… there’s no harm to anything. And they said, ‘Yeah, but we didn’t have a permit.’ We’re like, ‘You need a permit for fresh water?’ » Musk recounted. TRUMP SUPPORTER ELON MUSK OFFERS MASSIVE HOURLY PAY TO THOSE WORKING TO INCREASE VOTER TURNOUTMusk argued that America needs to move from « solving one problem after another, » to building industries that « inspire » residents alongside growing innovation, but that « we’re being massively slowed down by regulatory molasses. »Musk’s campaign tour has apparently worried Democrats amid Trump’s effort to claim the Keystone State.ELON MUSK UNVEILS TESLA’S ROBOVAN, ROBOTAXI, HUMANOID ROBOTSPennsylvania is viewed as the state that will likely determine the final outcome of the election, with both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris repeatedly zigzagging the state to rally support among city dwellers, suburbanites and farmers alike. Democratic Sen. John Fetterman warned party members to not discount Musk’s influence among Pennsylvania voters. « Not even just that he has endorsed [Trump], but the fact that now he’s becoming an active participant and showing up and doing rallies and things like that, » Fetterman told the New York Post, explaining that the enormously successful Tesla and SpaceX CEO is an attractive figure for the kinds of voters Harris needs to win. »I mean, [Musk] is incredibly successful, and, you know, I think some people would see him as, like, a Tony Stark, » said Fetterman, referencing the popular Marvel Comics character. « Democrats, you know, kind of make light of it, or they make fun of him jumping up and down and things like that. And I would just say that they are doing that at our peril. »Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more at our Fox News Digital election hub.

Jets, embattled star Haason Reddick finally agree to deal that will end months-long holdout: report

[ad_1]


Things just may be looking up for the New York Jets.Two weeks ago, they fired Robert Saleh – a week later, they lost at home to the Buffalo Bills.But, it didn’t take long for them to reunite Aaron Rodgers with Davante Adams – the morning after that loss, the Jets acquired the wide receiver.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMNow, it appears that months of nasty back-and-forth are all forgotten history.According to ESPN, via his agent Drew Rosenhaus, Haason Reddick and the Jets have agreed on an « adjusted contract. »Rosenhaus said the sides did not agree to a long-term deal, but Reddick will report to the team on Monday – he will miss Sunday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.The Jets acquired the pass rusher in March, but after the two sides failed to agree on a new contract before the season began, he requested a trade before even playing for them.The situation went so awry, that his former agency decided to no longer represent him.In the midst of his holdout, he was sued by a former business partner for withholding $1.6 million from him following the sale of their business.STEELERS ADD SECURITY MEASURES FOR TRUMP’S ATTENDANCE AT GAME AGAINST AARON RODGERS’ JETSReddick has forfeited nearly $10 million this year alone by missing camps, practices, preseason and regular season games.Jets owner Woody Johnson, though, implored Reddick to « get in your car, drive down [Interstate] 95 and come to the New York Jets, and we can meet you and give you an escort right into the building. »Well, it sure seems like that’s the plan.Reddick, 30, is coming off his second straight Pro Bowl season in which he totaled 11 sacks, 38 combined tackles (13 for loss) and 23 quarterback hits for the Eagles.He’s tallied double-digit sacks in each of his last four seasons, making him someone who could add power off the edge for a Jets defense that has done well yet again to start the new year.Fox News’ Scott Thompson contributed to this report.

US investigating release of classified docs on Israel’s planned strike on Iran

US investigating release of classified docs on Israel's planned strike on Iran

[ad_1]


The United States is investigating the unauthorized release of classified documents detailing Israel’s planned attack against Iran, The Associated Press reported.The documents, attributed to the U.S. Geospatial Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency, note that Israel was still moving military assets in place to conduct a military strike in response to Iran’s blistering ballistic missile attack on Oct. 1. They were sharable within the « Five Eyes, » which are the U.S., Great Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.The documents, which are marked top secret, were posted to the Telegram messaging app last week and first reported by CNN and Axios. The AP first reported Sunday about the U.S. investigation into the unauthorized release, citing three U.S. officials. The AP said a fourth U.S. official, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, indicated that the documents appeared to be legitimate. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., also confirmed the investigation in an appearance on CNN. « The leak is very concerning. There’s some serious allegations being made, there’s an investigation underway, and I’ll get a briefing on that in a couple of hours, » Johnson said Sunday on CNN’s « State of the Union. » « There’s a classified level briefing and then another. But we’re following it closely. » IDF SAYS ‘MISSION IS NOT OVER’ UNTIL HOSTAGES ARE RETURNED: ‘WE WILL NOT REST’The investigation is also examining how the documents were obtained – including whether it was an intentional leak by a member of the U.S. intelligence community or by another method, like a hack – and whether any other intelligence information was compromised, one of the officials told the AP, adding that officials are working to determine who had access to the documents before they were posted. The documents first appeared online Friday via a channel on Telegram, claiming they had been leaked by someone in the U.S. intelligence community, then later the U.S. Defense Department. The information appeared entirely gathered through the use of satellite image analysis.ISRAEL’S UN AMBASSADOR: RESPONSE TO IRAN WILL BE ‘VERY PAINFUL’The AP reported that one of the two documents resembled the style of other material from the U.S. National Geospatial Intelligence Agency leaked by Jack Teixeira, an Air National Guardsman who pleaded guilty in March to leaking highly classified military documents about Russia’s war on Ukraine and other national security secrets.The Telegram channel involved in the leak identifies itself as being based in Tehran, Iran’s capital. It previously published memes featuring Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and material in support of Tehran’s self-described « Axis of Resistance, » which includes Middle East terrorist groups armed by the Islamic republic.In a statement to the AP, the Pentagon said it was aware of the reports of the documents but did not elaborate further. The AP said the Israeli military did not immediately return their request for comment.Fox News Digital reached out to the U.S. Department of Defense but did not immediately hear back. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
