The Israeli military announced Wednesday that regular infantry and armored units were joining what it described as its limited and localized ground operations in southern Lebanon.This comes after Israel said Tuesday that commando and paratroop units had crossed the border in a ground operation in Lebanon, according to Reuters.The military said that special forces units had been conducting ground raids against Hezbollah terror targets across the border for months in which tunnels and weapons were found under homes.IDF MEETS LITTLE RESISTANCE FROM HEZBOLLAH AFTER WEEKS OF HITTING TERROR TARGETS, OFFICIALS SAYThe infantry and armored troops from the 36th Division include the Golani Brigade, the 188th Armored Brigade and the 6th Infantry Brigade.The military adding these troops suggests that the ground operation in Lebanon has exceeded limited commando raids.ISRAELI MINISTERS FRUSTRATED OVER US, IDF LEAK ON LEBANON OPERATION: REPORTThe ground operation is largely designed to destroy tunnels and other infrastructure on the Israel-Lebanon border, according to Israel’s military, adding that there were no plans to widen its operation to target Beirut or major cities in southern Lebanon.Reuters contributed to this report.

Vice President Kamala Harris has gone 73 days as the presumptive, and now, official Democratic nominee for president without holding an official press conference. Trump held his third news conference since the beginning of August last 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. She also spoke to MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle and she made time to hang out with supporter Oprah Winfrey last month at a star-studded campaign event.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.In her interview 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.

In recent weeks, Tim Walz’ team tried to lower expectations for his debate with rival JD Vance. Now we know why. Democratic vice presidential nominee and Minnesota Gov. Walz did not turn in a disastrous performance on the debate stage, but he was clearly outclassed by Ohio Sen. Vance. Trump supporters who have questioned the young Ohio senator’s qualifications for the nation’s second-highest office, or asked why the former president chose him to be his running mate, slept better on Tuesday night. He was sharp, appealing, and policy-savvy. Most important, Vance totally upended the media’s unflattering characterization of him by being sympathetic, respectful and likeable. Vance had the advantage of having held dozens of press interviews in recent weeks; he was ready and tested. By contrast, Walz has done almost no unscripted encounters with the media since he became the Democrats’ vice-presidential candidate; his inability to go beyond talking points and delve deep into policy was not surprising. VANCE, WALZ VICE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE ENDS WITH BOTH CANDIDATES TOUTING ‘NEW’ FUTUREWalz spent much of the debate talking about programs he claimed to have successfully enacted in Minnesota, like paid family leave. What he was supposed to do on Tuesday night was make the case for running mate Vice President Kamala Harris.  As with the ABC presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, the CBS News moderators embarrassed themselves by clearly favoring the Democrat contestant. Moreover, CBS’ Margaret Brennan and Norah O’Donnell affected a grating school-marmish tone, overly eager to chaperone what was an extremely orderly debate.  Their questions featured well-worn Democrat priorities (climate change, abortion) and they largely avoided topics that could have played well for Vance, like crime. O’Donnell challenged the senator on Trump formerly calling climate change a « hoax » and then asserted gratuitously that « the overwhelming consensus is that the climate is changing. » WALZ REPEATS GEORGIA ABORTION DEATH FALSEHOOD DECRIED BY DOCTORS AS ‘FEARMONGERING’Moreover, having said they would not fact-check the candidates, the two women intervened more than once to question a response from Vance, while doing so only one time with Walz.Unhappily for the Minnesota governor, that one probing question was calamitous. Asked why he had falsely claimed to be in Hong Kong during the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, Walz launched into a word salad that would have made Kamala Harris proud, talking about his experiences traveling in China. Asked again to answer why he had been untruthful, Walz misfired and looked stunned. In effect, he was caught out in a lie. Since he has a history of spinning falsehoods about his past, and especially about his military rank, this was not helpful.Vance, like Walz, was meant to argue the case for his running mate, and that he did. When the moderators and Walz derided Trump’s claim during the presidential debate that he had the « concept of a plan » on health care, Vance said that Trump did not have a plan – he had a record. More than once during the evening he reminded the audience that during Trump’s presidency inflation was low, the border was closed and the world was at peace.KAMALA HARRIS MAKES A DESPERATE MOVE ON A CRITICAL ISSUE TO SAVE A SINKING CAMPAIGNWhen moderator Margaret Brennan pushed Vance to explain why Trump had abandoned the Iran nuclear deal, thus purportedly allowing the terror state to speed up its efforts to build a nuclear weapon, Vance noted that for the past three-plus years Harris and Biden have been in charge. He rightly pointed out that they helped rebuild Iran’s ability to wage war by not enforcing the Trump sanctions, thus allowing the mullahs to grow their income by $100 billion. With Iran just having attacked Israel with 180 missiles, Vance’s referencing the Reagan-Trump doctrine of peace through strength resonated. While Walz repeated Harris’ vague promises about making life better for middle class families, Vance reminded the audience that take-home pay had risen under Trump and inflation was low, while under Harris, prices on everything from food to housing had shot up more than 20%. When Walz claimed economists backed Harris’ plan over Trump’s, Vance responded that Trump didn’t have Ph.D.s on his team, he had common sense. When Walz accused Trump of wanting to enact tariffs on imports, which would serve as a new tax on Americans, Vance congratulated President Joe Biden on keeping the former president’s tariffs on China in place, defusing the issue. Over and over during the nearly two hour debate, Vance asked the most salient question, also posed by Trump during his debate. Harris has been in the White House for the past three and a half years – why hasn’t she moved forward on the policies she now claims will solve the nation’s problems?CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONVance clearly won the dispute over the border, noting that Harris had bragged for three years about undoing all the restrictions that Trump put in place. When Brennan challenged Vance on how Trump would handle separating families while carrying out deportations, Vance referred to the horrifying report that the Department of Homeland Security has lost track of more than 320,000 children brought across the border illegally – a damning and heartbreaking situation that has resulted from Harris’ open border.Not surprisingly, the debate got heated on the subject of abortion. Vance criticized the Minnesota law signed by Walz that does not require the doctor to do everything necessary for the care of a baby that survives a late-term abortion. Walz disputed the characterization, but Vance is correct.  Walz, meanwhile, charged Vance with having earlier backed a 15-week national abortion ban. Vance explained that he shares Trump’s view that the states are now charged with setting the regulations.The candidates sparred on other topics, and took expected swipes at each other’s running mates, but both maintained their composure and even agreed that on some issues, like school safety, they could likely find some common ground. Especially given the Harris-Walz strategy of avoiding scrutiny and trying to hide their progressive agendas, it was an unusually useful event for America’s voters.The winner of the night, without a doubt, was JD Vance. Will it matter? After all, many argue that no one votes for the V.P. But voters tell pollsters they do not enough about Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Now they know more, and on the basis of Tuesday night’s performance, Vance might have won over a few folks. With the race a dead heat, everything matters. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM LIZ PEEK

In a tense interview with CNN, Donald Trump Jr. said Tuesday the media is partly responsible for the recent assassination attempts against his father, former President Trump, by pushing false narratives that radicalize his critics. In the spin room following the CBS News Vice Presidential Debate, Trump Jr. agreed with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that the event was « civil » and noted Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz even acknowledged when they agreed. The CNN host then asked, « Should we see more of that on the debate stage when your dad’s up there? » »You know what? I’d love to see that across the board, » Trump Jr. said. « We’ve all heard about Trump Derangement Syndrome, we’ve seen what they’ve lied about … ‘I was an agent of Russia, but Hunter Biden’s laptop was totally Russian disinformation.’ It turns out, the opposite was true. »NBC’S ‘SNL’ ROASTED FOR MOCKING ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS AGAINST TRUMP: ‘ACTIVISM MASQUERADING AS COMEDY’ »The media did that, they created so much of that environment. The media has radicalized the people that are trying to kill my father. I’ve had to deal with that twice now in the last two months, » he continued.  « I’ve had to have that conversation with my five young children twice in the last two months about someone trying to shoot their grandfather. »Trump Jr. then said « that didn’t just magically happen, » and accused the media of creating a « fake Russia scenario » to tarnish his father. « They ran with it for years, even when it was disproven, they still ran with it. You know, that environment wasn’t just created by Donald Trump, » Trump Jr. said. Collins shot back, « Everyone wants your dad to be safe. Nobody wants the threats against his life to happen, but you can’t blame the media for those threats. There’s been no evidence. »WALZ STUNS INTERNET WITH VP DEBATE GAFFE: ‘I’VE BECOME FRIENDS WITH SCHOOL SHOOTERS’The former president’s son disagreed. « When someone allows someone to have a platform to call someone ‘literally Hitler,’ every day for nine years, it creates it. Whether you want to believe it or not, that’s a fact, » Trump Jr. said. When Trump narrowly survived the assassination attempt against him in July, a bullet grazed the former president’s ear and the shooter killed 50-year-old Corey Comperatore — a husband, father and former fire chief at the Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Department. The gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, also critically wounded two other rally-goers. Just two months later, Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was arrested on Sept. 15 after allegedly pushing the muzzle of an AK-47 through the chainlink fence outside where Trump was golfing in Florida. No shots were fired at Trump after the Secret Service spotted the potential gunman and opened fire; the suspect fled and was arrested shortly afterward.Fox News Digital’s Hanna Panreck contributed to this report.

The largely civil and arguably quite informative debate between Democratic nominee Gov. Tim Walz and Republican nominee Sen. JD Vance on Tuesday night has underscored one thing. We need another presidential debate.Both Walz and Vance stuck to familiar positions on the issues on the debate stage, whether it was on the economy, health care, energy or immigration. No new ground was broken, no dramatic changes in policy were unveiled. Still, the debate, in my estimation, was very important for a fundamental reason: it was civil, it was informative, and it included a surprisingly high degree of bipartisanship that has been noticeably absent from the 2024 presidential race. It is certain that Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump watched the debate. And both, I am sure, concluded that their respective running mates did an excellent job in both underscoring their core positions as well as attacking their rivals.VANCE, WALZ VICE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE ENDS WITH BOTH CANDIDATES TOUTING ‘NEW’ FUTUREBut most importantly, on Tuesday night there was a comment that I think both candidates underscored in their own way: That we can do better as Americans, we can solve our problems and provide leadership as people who disagree, and sometimes vigorously, but have a broader purpose beyond our narrow partisan concerns.This is not simply a homily. It’s much more. It is a large-scale call for a different kind of politics, even if implicitly made by both candidates, it is a recognition of the extraordinary challenges we face, both domestically and internationally, in the wake of Iran’s attack on Israel. And most of all, it underscores to me why both presidential candidates need to quickly accept the invitation of various news networks for another debate or more debates in the final 35 days of this campaign. It’s virtually certain that no minds were changed on Tuesday night.WALZ REPEATS GEORGIA ABORTION DEATH FALSEHOOD DECRIED BY DOCTORS AS ‘FEARMONGERING’To be sure, the pundits will be vetting what the candidates said or didn’t say about immigration and abortion. Two topics on which they disagree vehemently. But the two vice presidential candidates were largely repeating and underscoring what their respective nominees have said and believe.The key now is for the media to focus on what the American people want and require as this extraordinary race comes down to the finish line. The two presidential campaigns need to face off, at least once, if not more times, to discuss and debate their positions on the issues with a greater degree of specificity and precision than they have done previously.The 2024 presidential race is now an effective statistical tie. This is especially true when one looks at the seven key swing states in this election. There is a degree of uncertainty about precisely where the candidates stand on the important issues facing our country after a raucous presidential debate last month that was more personally divisive than it was informative.JD VANCE REMINDS CBS MODERATORS OF DEBATE RULES AFTER THEY TRY TO FACT-CHECK HIMFor us to make an informed choice as Americans, we need to replicate what happened on Tuesday night with Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The two presidential candidates need to tell us, in programmatic terms, what they will do on the economy, immigration, crime, health care, energy and, of course, on foreign affairs, a critical topic which did not get anywhere near the attention it deserved and required.The level of dissatisfaction of the American electorate with the candidates and with the political process cannot be overestimated. We saw what the American people deserve but have not received until now in this presidential election.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThe nearly two-hour event underscored this key point: you can’t just run on joy and you can’t just run on bitterness about what has happened in the past.Both vice presidential candidates were likable on Tuesday night. Vance had heretofore not been seen that way. On the debate stage, it was hard not to empathize with him, even if you disagreed with him. Likewise, Walz delivered as a likable everyman figure.I came away from the presidential debate last month not wanting to have dinner with either Trump or Harris. After the V.P. debate, I wanted to get to know both candidates better.My takeaway from Tuesday night is that, for virtually the first time in this election cycle, Vance and Walz quietly acknowledged that the electorate requires something more before Election Day. It’s up to Trump and Harris to give it to them–in person–at least one more time, if not more. The country deserves no less. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM DOUG SCHOEN

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz claimed during the CBS News Vice Presidential Debate that a woman in Georgia likely died due to the state’s « restrictive » abortion laws after Roe v. Wade was overturned despite doctors previously denouncing such a narrative as « fearmongering. » »There’s a young woman named Amber Thurman. She happened to be in Georgia, a restrictive state. Because of that, she had to travel a long distance to North Carolina to try and get her care. Amber Thurmond died in that journey back and forth. The fact of the matter is, how can we as a nation say that your life and your rights, as basic as the right to control your own body, is determined on geography, » Walz said during the debate while sparring with Vance on abortion laws. « There’s a very real chance that if Amber Thurman lived in Minnesota, she would be alive today. That’s why the restoration of Roe v. Wade, » he said. Walz joined Ohio Sen. JD Vance in New York City Tuesday evening, where the pair squared off on key voter issues this election cycle, including the economy, immigration and abortion. OB-GYNS DECRY THE ‘FEARMONGERING’ ABOUT GEORGIA’S ABORTION LAWS: ‘THE LIES ARE HURTING WOMEN’Walz’s remarks come after ProPublica published an article last month blaming the deaths of two Georgia women, Amber Nicole Thurman and Candi Miller, on the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the state’s new abortion limits after the women received chemically induced abortions in 2022. Georgia’s heartbeat law states that « no abortion shall be performed if the unborn child has a detectable human heartbeat except in the event of a medical emergency or medically futile pregnancy. »Members of the Democratic Party, including Vice President Kamala Harris, have cited their deaths as evidence for the need to expand abortion access after the Supreme Court’s 2022 ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. « Good policy, logical policy, moral policy, humane policy is about saying a health care provider will only start providing that care when you’re about to die? » Harris said during an Atlanta campaign event last month, while citing Thurman’s death. OB-GYNs have since criticized the narrative as a misleading story that is being pushed by the media and Democrats.GEORGIA DOCTORS SPEAK OUT TO CHALLENGE MISINFORMATION ON STATE’S ABORTION LAW, DEATH OF AMBER THURMAN »I was not surprised to see this pro-abortion media try to point the blame at Georgia’s pro-life laws, but, in fact, Georgia’s laws allow doctors to intervene to save the life of the woman, » Charlotte Lozier Institute Vice President and Director of Medical Affairs Dr. Ingrid Skop recently told Fox News Digital. « I think the focus of the Democratic Party upon abortion as an issue is only because the American people do not understand the laws. Many times, women are hurt by abortions. It is not necessary for women to live their best life. And, of course, it’s the fearmongering and lies that have led us to this place where we are today, where people even think there would be a reason to point at the law. »Rep. Rich McCormick, R-Ga., and state Rep. Mark Newton have also come out to say they don’t believe Georgia laws had anything to do with Thurman’s death, alleging it was caused by complications from abortion pills because doctors may have waited too long to intercede.HARRIS CALLS FOR ELIMINATING FILIBUSTER TO PASS ‘ROE’ ABORTION BILL INTO FEDERAL LAW »We never deny a woman an abortion because it’s going to harm her in some way. She will always be protected, » McCormick said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP »You have every right to an abortion, even with that heartbeat law, » he continued. « So, let’s make that very clear right now. When they say there’s no exceptions, there’s never any law in any state where there’s no exceptions. That doesn’t exist. That’s simply not the way it works. The mother’s life is always protected. With that said, it doesn’t mean it’s easy to get an abortion just because you have a complication or because something goes wrong. »Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more at our Fox News Digital election hub.Fox News Digital’s Lindsay Kornick and Jamie Joseph contributed to this report.

Shocking video showing the killing of a Kentucky judge in his chambers was played during a court hearing for the ex-sheriff who is charged in the murder.The short video clip was presented by prosecutors during the preliminary hearing for Letcher County Sheriff Shawn « Mickey » Stines showed the shocking moments that he allegedly opened fire on 54-year-old District Judge Kevin Mullins on Sept. 19.The video, with no audio, showed a man identified by police as Stines pulling out a gun and shooting the judge as he sat at his desk. The man walked around the desk, pointed the gun at the judge — who had fallen to the floor — and fired again.The emotions of individuals in the courtroom were palpable, with some audibly moaning and crying.SHOCKING ATTACK ON NEVADA JUDGE SHOWS NEED FOR GREATER PROTECTIONS, SAYS JUDGE WHOSE SON WAS KILLEDMullins died from multiple gunshot wounds, Kentucky State Police Detective Clayton Stamper testified Tuesday. Stines entered a not guilty plea to first-degree murder at his arraignment last week and is being held in another Kentucky county.Stamper said that Stines and Mullins had amicably eaten lunch with a group prior to the shooting and no witnesses observed any anger in their conversation.EX-GANG LEADER SUSPECTED OF TUPAC SHAKUR MURDER SEEKS HOUSE ARREST PRIOR TO TRIAL »I was told that the judge made a statement to Mickey about, ‘Do we need to meet private in my chambers?’ » Stamper said, adding that he didn’t know what it was about.Stamper said that while he was not directly aware of any prior relationship between the pair, he did say that he had « heard things » regarding a lawsuit involving the sheriff’s office.LAS VEGAS COURTROOM ATTACK HIGHLIGHTS ISSUE OF VIOLENCE AGAINST JUDGES: EXPERTSStines had been deposed in a lawsuit filed by two women, one of whom alleged a deputy sheriff forced her to have sex inside Mullins’ chambers for six months in exchange for staying out of jail. The lawsuit accused the now-former sheriff of « deliberate indifference in failing to adequately train and supervise » the deputy.A handful of people were in a room next to Mullins’ chambers when the shots rang out. Stines was in custody by the time he arrived at the courthouse, Stamper said.Stamper said Stines was « mostly calm » by the time he arrived at the shooting scene. « Basically, all he said was, ‘Treat me fair,’ » Stamper said.At the end of the hearing, Judge Rupert Wilhoit III determined probable cause exists to believe Stines committed the crime, allowing the case to go to a grand jury to decide whether to indict Stines.If convicted of first-degree murder, Stines could face the death penalty.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

LeBron James’ list of accomplishments over his more than two decades in the NBA runs long, but perhaps his greatest achievement is on the horizon.The four-time NBA champion wore the same color uniform as his eldest son Bronny on Monday during the Los Angeles Lakers media day in El Segundo, California. The Lakers drafted Bronny in June, putting the 19-year-old in position to become part of the first ever father-son duo to play alongside one another in the NBA.The elder James is preparing to take the court for what will be his 22nd NBA season. While James’ longevity is commendable, the season will likely be one of the most memorable of his storied career. James has spent some of the past few weeks soaking in the unique opportunity to go through scrimmages with his son. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMNext, the Lakers begin training camp as the regular season draws closer. James being able to « come to work every day » and knowing his son is in the building has brought him feelings of « pure joy. » »There’s a lot of excitement, » LeBron told reporters. « It’s pure joy, to be honest, to be able to come to work every day, put in the hard work with your son every day and be able to see him continue to grow.

The reported New York Knicks-Minnesota Timberwolves blockbuster trade involving four-time All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns has not yet been made official, and the current Knicks know that. It’s why they dodged every single question about Towns potentially landing in the « Big Apple » during media day on Monday at the team’s Westchester, New York, training facility. « Who’s Karl? » star point guard Jalen Brunson said when reporters peppered him with questions about Towns.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMHead coach Tom Thibodeau also declined to comment when asked about Towns, though he did give one reporter a, « Good try, » when asked about their time together when the coach was leading the Timberwolves prior to joining the Knicks, per Yahoo Sports. Other stars on the Knicks like Josh Hart got a bit playful with their response to Towns questions. « We got KAT? » Hart said as he turned around to look at a Knicks public relations team member. « Whoa, that’s crazy. »KNICKS, TIMBERWOLVES CLOSE TO EXCHANGING ALL-STARS IN POTENTIAL BLOCKBUSTER TRADE: REPORTSHart would continue looking over at Knicks PR to make sure that when he was discussing someone « unofficial » joining the team, he was doing so correctly. He said that unofficial person (Towns) has « high character » and « would fit well » with the team they have now.It may not be official yet, but Towns is already in New York as he was spotted at the training facility getting out of a car, and he is already wearing a Knicks hat on his head. The monster deal is expected to be the Knicks sending All-Star forward Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo, a key sharpshooter for the Knicks in their successful 2023 season, to the T-Wolves in exchange for Towns.And while some didn’t want to comment on Towns, or played dumb as a joke, the loss of two key members of the Knicks in Randle and DiVincenzo is still very fresh as these players get back on the court together. « Yeah, that news was…it was crazy, » Brunson said. « But I’m really thankful for them and their friendships and everything, and what they brought to this team. I’m really thankful I got to get a relationship with Julius. The memories we made together was really fun. Absolutely. »And Donte, I mean, he was a groomsman in my wedding. So that should tell you everything you need to know about our relationship. I love him to death. »Despite these two losses, the Knicks are adding one of the best two-way centers in the game, while already bringing in Mikal Bridges, who Brunson and Hart know very well during their time at Villanova. DiVincenzo was also in that « Nova Boys » pack, but there were reports that he wasn’t going to be too happy with a bench role after making such an impact last year to bring the Knicks within one game of an Eastern Conference Finals appearance. Either way, the Knicks know they have to say all the right things right now, but the writing is on the wall: Towns is going to be playing his home games at Madison Square Garden this season, where the expectation of competing for an NBA title remains. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

The University of Wyoming women’s volleyball team became the third in the nation to forfeit a game to San Jose State this season. Wyoming joined Boise State and Southern Utah, all of which did not give a specific reason for the forfeit. « After a lengthy discussion, the University of Wyoming will not play its scheduled conference match against San Jose State University, » the volleyball program said in a statement on Tuesday. « Per Mountain West Conference policy, the conference will record the match as a forfeit and a loss for Wyoming. » CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMBlaire Fleming, a transgender female, competes on San Jose State’s team.

The lawsuit alleged Slusser, who transferred to San Jose, felt concerned for her safety after realizing one of her new teammates was transgender.Slusser claimed she was not aware that Fleming was transgender despite sharing rooms together on team trips, per the court documents. Slusser also expressed safety concerns for opponents playing against Fleming. « Brooke estimates that Fleming’s spikes were traveling upward of 80 mph, which was faster than she had ever seen a woman hit a volleyball, » Slusser’s complaint read. « The girls were doing everything they could to dodge Fleming’s spikes but still could not fully protect themselves. »Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines, who is also engaged in a lawsuit against the NCAA for having to compete and share a locker room with transgender biological male opponent Lia Thomas, commended Boise State as the second program to refuse to compete against San Jose State in a statement to Fox News Digital on Sept. 27. « I commend Boise State’s athletic department and everyone involved in the decision to forfeit their match against undefeated San Jose State, » Gaines said in a statement to Fox News Digital. GOP GOVERNOR REVEALS WHY HE ORDERED SCHOOLS TO BAR TRANSGENDERS FROM GIRLS SPORTS »Some principles transcend winning on the court, and the safety and well-being of female athletes is one of them. It’s encouraging to witness a growing number of institutions prioritizing fairness and athlete safety over forced inclusion. I hope to see more universities follow the lead of Boise State and Southern Utah, standing up for what’s right and protecting the integrity of women’s sports. »Utah governor Brad Little also commended Boise State for its decision. Little’s state of Utah has been one of the most proactive in the nation in countering transgender inclusion in women’s sports. On Aug. 28, Little signed an executive order to enforce the « Defending Women’s Sports Act, » which issued new protocols to the state’s public school to promote the exclusion of transgenders in women’s sports. In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital on Aug. 30, Little did not rule out administering gender eligibility tests for all girls and women’s sports teams, but added that I’d have to see really good evidence that that’s necessary. » « From a national standpoint, there are radical little groups that want to implement changes in the rules that we have already. I’m confident in what we have, and we will aggressively (act), as the state of Idaho, both legally and legislatively, to protect women’s athletes and the great advances they’ve made because of Title IX. »In April, the Biden administration issued a sweep rule that clarified that Title IX’s ban on « sex » discrimination in schools covers discrimination based on gender identity, sexual orientation and « pregnancy or related conditions. » The rule took effect Aug. 1, and, for the first time, the law stated that discrimination based on sex includes conduct related to a person’s gender identity. The Biden administration insisted the regulation does not address athletic eligibility. However, multiple experts presented evidence to Fox News Digital in June that Biden’s claims it would not result in biological men participating in women’s sports weren’t true and that the proposal would ultimately put more biological men in women’s sports.But current administration’s efforts have faced heavy resistance from GOP lawmakers like Little and now individual schools and teams are even taking stands.On Aug. 16, the Supreme Court voted 5-4 to reject a Biden administration emergency request to enforce portions of that new rule that includes protection from discrimination for transgender students under Title IX. Now, Wyoming, Southern Utah and Boise State have added to that resistance. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

The Trump campaign is denying that it had ever formally accepted the invitation for former President Trump to sit for a « 60 Minutes » interview after CBS News claimed he had backed out. « 60 Minutes is scheduled to air a primetime election special on a Monday edition of the broadcast on Oct. 7 at 8 p.m… This year, both the Harris and Trump campaigns agreed to sit down with 60 Minutes, » CBS News said in a statement released Tuesday. « Vice President Harris will speak with correspondent Bill Whitaker. After initially accepting 60 Minutes’ request for an interview with Scott Pelley, former President Trump’s campaign has decided not to participate. Pelley will address this Monday evening. »But according to Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung, that was « fake news. » »60 Minutes begged for an interview, even after they were caught lying about Hunter Biden’s laptop back in 2020, » Cheung wrote on X. « There were initial discussions, but nothing was ever scheduled or locked in. »CBS NEWS CASTS LONG SHADOW OF ANTI-TRUMP BIAS AHEAD OF ITS VICE-PRESIDENTIAL DEBATECBS News did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.Cheung was alluding to the testy exchange Trump had with veteran « 60 Minutes » correspondent Lesley Stahl, who dismissed the Hunter Biden laptop scandal during their interview just days before the 2020 election. CBS TARRED AND FEATHERED FOR ADMITTING EXISTENCE OF HUNTER BIDEN’S LAPTOP TWO YEARS AFTER NEW YORK POST REPORTAt the time, Trump insisted that then-candidate Joe Biden was « in the midst of a scandal. » « He’s not, » Stahl gleefully replied. « Of course he is, Lesley, » Trump sternly doubled down. « No, c’mon, » Stahl continued to reject the president’s claim, before lecturing him, « This is ’60 Minutes’ and we can’t put on things that we can’t verify. »CBS News eventually went on and verified the infamous laptop in 2022. CBS News stated that its election special will air Monday as planned, featuring only the Harris interview. »Our original invitation to former President Donald Trump to be interviewed on 60 Minutes stands, » CBS News added. CBS’ ‘60 MINUTES’ ACCUSED OF EDITING EXCHANGE BETWEEN DESANTIS, REPORTER PUSHING ‘PAY FOR PLAY’ NARRATIVECLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe network’s announcement comes just hours before it is set to host the vice-presidential debate between Sen.

Former Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt was a player that most in the NFL dreaded lining up across from. But there was a duo that managed to frustrate Watts even on his best day: Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. During the week’s episode of the « Let’s Go! Podcast » with legendary sportscaster Jim Gray, Watt got the chance to tell the former New England Patriots coach personally exactly how he felt playing against one of the best dynasties in the league. « It’s really frustrating, especially when you’re going against a mind like coach [Belichick] and a quarterback like Tom because you can do whatever you want on our side — we’ll try and disguise things all week long, » Watt said. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM »We’re like, ‘All right, we’re gonna throw them this two-high and then rotate down to a single-high look.’ You do it and you think you’re brilliant. It’s like that little kid who thinks they’re fooling their parents and then at the last second their parents are like, ‘No, I know exactly what you’re doing.' »Watt said regardless of how good his pass-rush was, Brady was just too fast to beat. « Tom just comes up, he makes a check, he knows exactly where he wants to go to the ball and then fires it over there. And all you did all week is for nothing. And it’s frustrating and it’s so annoying, and then from my perspective as the defensive end, coach throws a chip my way, so I’ve gotta beat the tackle, I’ve gotta beat the chip. Lucky for me, I happen to beat them both on one play and guess what? Oh, Tom threw the ball in 1.7 seconds, so I couldn’t get there anyway. So, I had my best pass-rush of the day and it was all for naught, and that is the most frustrating part of all. And that’s what they did so well, is they just always knew how to negate the best player on the defense. »JJ WATT’S HEARTWARMING GIFT TO BROTHER, STEELERS STAR TJ WATT, TURNS INTO HILARIOUS PRE-GAME MOMENTWatt went on to compliment Belichick and Brady as « two of the best to ever do it, » and he only had one complaint to add about their time spent playing against one another during his 12-year-long career. « I only wish I could say I beat them a little more. » Watts spent the majority of his career with the Texans. During that time, the Patriots went 6-2 against the Texans with Houston winning their final two matchups. But the frustration appeared to be mutual. Belichick said he had to game plan on every play with a player like Watt. « When you’re up for a Hall of Fame, you’ve got my vote. » Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

The « significant » role the U.S. played in helping Israel fend off Iran’s aerial assault on Tuesday came just hours after Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin assured Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant that the U.S. had « increased force readiness » and stood ready. »This is a significant escalation by Iran, » White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told reporters Tuesday. « It is equally significant that we were able to step up with Israel and create a situation in which no one was killed in this attack in Israel. »The comments were made following massive missile strike fired by Iran in which some 180 missiles were fired at Israel.According to Iranian state media, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the attack was in retaliation for the Friday assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed alongside IRGC commander and military advisor Brig. Gen. Abbas Nilforushan, as well as Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas who was killed in July during a visit to Tehran.IDF MEETS LITTLE RESISTANCE FROM HEZBOLLAH AFTER WEEKS OF HITTING TERROR TARGETS, OFFICIALS SAY »In response to the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh, Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah and Martyr Nilfroshan, we targeted the heart of the occupied territories, » the IRGC said in a statement reported by Iranian media. « If the Zionist regime reacts to Iran’s operations, it will face crushing attacks. »Following the attacks, Israel closed its airspace, residents in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem were ordered to shelter in place and the Israeli security cabinet said it would convene Tuesday night in a bunker in Jerusalem, according to Israeli news outlet the Jerusalem Post.It remains unclear if Iranian missiles had made contact with any targets, though the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) told Fox News Digital that no casualties were yet known.In a statement to Fox News, a U.S. defense official said, « [In] accordance with our ironclad commitment to Israel’s security, U.S. forces in the region are currently defending against Iranian-launched missiles targeting Israel. « Our forces remain postured to provide additional defensive support and to protect U.S. forces operating in the region, » the official added.
ISRAELI MINISTERS FRUSTRATED OVER US, IDF LEAK ON LEBANON OPERATION: REPORTEarlier on Tuesday, the Pentagon said in a readout regarding the second call Austin has held with Gallant in the last 24 hours, that the secretary « made it clear that the United States is well-postured to defend U.S. personnel, allies, and partners in the face of threats from Iran and Iran-backed terrorist organizations and is determined to prevent any actor from exploiting tensions or expanding the conflict in the region. »Three U.S. guided-missile destroyers have been positioned off the eastern Mediterranean to help defend Israel, including the USS Arleigh Burke, USS Bulkeley and USS Cole — which reportedly played a closely coordinated role in defending against the Iranian attack on Tuesday. »Today, Iran launched nearly 200 ballistic missiles towards targets in Israel. The United States military coordinated closely with the Israeli Defense Forces to help defend Israel against this attack, » Sullivan said.  « U.S. naval destroyers joined Israeli Air Defense units in firing interceptors to shoot down inbound missiles. »In April, during the last major attack that Iran levied at Israel when it fired more than 300 drones and missiles, the USS Arleigh Burke and the USS Carney shot down more than 81 attack drones and at least six ballistic missiles using guided-missile destroyers.The ballistic missiles were shot down using the SM-3 ballistic missile interceptors from the ships that were also positioned in the eastern Mediterranean at the time. The SM-3 has a range of up to 1,550 miles.Israel has several of its own defense systems outside of what its offshore allies provide, including the infamous Iron Dome which is designed to intercept short-range rockets and artillery shells fired from distances of two to 43 miles away.But it also has systems that are capable of stopping missiles fired from greater distances, like its Arrow Missile Defense System, which can intercept missiles fired from up to 1,500 miles away and above the earth’s atmosphere. The air defense system known as David’s Sling is also designed to intercept enemy planes, drones, tactical ballistic missiles, medium to long-range rockets and cruise missiles fired at a range of 25 to 190 miles away. IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said that it was believed the Iranian strikes had stopped, and told Israelis it was safe to leave their shelters. »During the defense, we carried out quite a few interceptions. There are some impacts in the center and areas in the south of the country, » Hagari said Tuesday night local time. « At this stage we are still carrying out an assessment [of the attack], but we are unaware of casualties. »

It all comes down to Pennsylvania.That is not an exaggeration.If Kamala Harris loses Pennsylvania, Donald Trump is the 47th president of the United States.Now you could say the same about Michigan or Wisconsin, but it especially seems that a Democratic candidate should be able to carry the Keystone State.HARRIS CAMPAIGN ‘UNDERWATER’ IN KEY BATTLEGROUND STATE, DEM REP WARNS DONORSAnd that’s why, in my view, Kamala should have picked Josh Shapiro, its popular governor.I have nothing against Tim Walz, of football coach fame, but I don’t see what he’s done for the ticket. There’s a reason the campaign hasn’t let him do any solo interviews – a stark contrast with JD Vance, who is constantly doing interviews and holding press conferences.In fact, Vance now frequently takes reporters’ questions in front of supporters, who boo the journalists, sometimes even before they start speaking.We’ll find out whether Walz can think on his feet when he faces off against Vance in tonight’s VP debate. The most generous thing I can say is that the Coach will be rusty.Let’s look at the latest numbers.The Real Clear Politics average has Trump leading Harris by a miniscule margin, 48.1% to 47.9%, which of course is a statistical tie.At 538, the micro-margin in Pennsylvania is flipped, with Harris averaging 47.9% and Trump at 47.1%, another tie.Now imagine that Shapiro, who is more of a moderate liberal than the uber-progressive Walz, was the running mate. And let’s say Shapiro had brought in another 50,000 votes as the home-state guy. You can see where that would tip the balance.Kamala didn’t pick Josh for two reasons. They had a rough conversation when she interviewed him, with the governor insisting on an influential role if he were to relinquish his current job. But so what? Presidents and their veeps often don’t see eye to eye. She preferred the image of Walz, hunter and fisherman, to the prospect of two East Coast lawyers.But the more important reason is more troubling. Harris was under pressure from the anti-Israel faction in her party not to tap Shapiro, who is Jewish and a strong supporter of the Jewish state.So the vice president effectively handed veto power to this minority faction, which basically backs the Hamas terrorists who would wipe out Israel, and would have faced a week or two of controversy as a result. I said at the time this would be a world-class mistake if she lost Pennsylvania.The reason Harris has spent so much time in the Pittsburgh area is that the western end of the state is much more conservative than the eastern section anchored by Philadelphia. Her goal is to hold down Trump’s margin in a part of the state that he’ll easily win.KAMALA HARRIS IS GETTING ‘OUTHUSTLED’ AND ‘OUTCLASSED’: JESSE WATTERSOne problem Harris faces right now is that she makes little news. By picking « friendly » interviewers, such as MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle, who has trashed Trump as a danger to democracy, she avoids tough questions and followups. Visiting the Mexican border was a smart move, not just because Trump has a major lead on immigration, but because Harris broke into the news cycle, where images can count more than words, and attempted to position herself as tougher than Joe Biden on the issue.Otherwise, I’m just hearing chunks of her stump speech in response to questions, starting with how her mother raised her. Repetition is important in politics, but if you don’t throw in a few new lines, the press is left without a headline.Meanwhile, Trump over the weekend called Harris « mentally impaired, » saying Biden just got old but she was born that way. He also said Harris should be impeached, and maybe prosecuted, for the way she helped run the country.Now that is classic Trump. By using over-the-top rhetoric, he sparks a media debate about whether he’s gone too far, and that debate revolves around the words « Kamala » and « mentally impaired. » IN HYPERPARTISAN ENVIRONMENT, MSNBC DRAWING FIRE FOR ANTI-TRUMP, PRO-HARRIS PROGRAMMINGHarris has wisely not responded to every Trump jab. But remember, Trump benefits from negative coverage as much as positive coverage because he’s driving the news agenda.Here’s a pool report from Harris at a West Coast political event over the weekend: « She then switched her remarks to talking about the need for comprehensive immigration reform. VP Harris remarks on the issue were very similar to her remarks in Arizona on Friday. » In other words, no news.Think about this: Trump has been absolutely pummeled by a hostile press corps, is a twice-impeached convicted felon and carries the burden of Jan. 6. Harris has been riding an extraordinary wave of positive press, and yet she’s slipped slightly in the polls and is tied in Pennsylvania.And there’s no question that if she loses there, the election is over.

Disturbing new video has been released showing the moment a group of teen suspects mugged a 66-year-old man in Baltimore, Maryland, at gun point, with one of the suspects stomping on the victim’s head. Two teens were subsequently arrested, with one facing first-degree murder charges while the other – a 15-year-old male – was released to a guardian.The shocking incident took place on Thursday just after 10 p.m. when the victim was returning to his home in the 200 block of South Madeira, about a block from Patterson Park in the east side of the city, according to the Baltimore Police Department (BPD). The victim told police that one of the suspects displayed a gun while at least four other perpetrators blindsided him and began punching him, knocking him to the concrete.ARREST OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT PREVIOUSLY CONVICTED OF RAPE IN MARYLAND MARKS RECORD FOR ICEThe video shows the victim lying face first on a road while one hooded suspect can be seen punching him.Then a second suspect – dressed in a hoody and gray pants – leaps into the air and stomps down hard on the victim’s head. They are then joined by a third suspect and all three appear to go through the man’s pockets before fleeing the scene.The victim suffered several lacerations and was transported to an area hospital for treatment, BPD said. Police later arrested 18-year-old Montaz Bailey and a 15-year-old male. A handgun was also recovered, along with the victim’s property, BPD said. Both suspects have prior arrests. WBALT reports that Baily was arrested in July for car theft of a white Dodge Caravan in Baltimore County and a bench warrant was issued for him after failing to appear.Police could not say if Bailey is the person in the video suspected of stomping on the man. After reviewing the video and evidence, Baltimore City State’s Attorney Ivan Bates authorized an attempted first-degree murder charge to be filed against Bailey, Fox Baltimore (WBFF) reports. ATTEMPTED MARYLAND CARJACKING GOES WRONG WHEN SUSPECTS REALIZE THEY COULDN’T DRIVE A STICK SHIFTThe victim described to WBFF how the group surrounded him and unleashed their vicious attack. »I actually didn’t hear anything. They were very, very quiet. Almost like they snuck up on me, » the victim, who did not want to share his identity, told the outlet. »But I could feel their presence. They didn’t say anything but when I saw them, they had ski masks on, » Bernie recalled. « In my mind, I knew what was coming next, so I started to run, and they started to chase me. As I was running, I was yelling ‘help, help I’m being robbed.’ He pulled the gun out and he stuck the gun in my face, and I said, ‘What do you want?’ He said, ‘I want everything.’ »BPD Commissioner Richard Worley described the incident as « truly horrific » and said more must be done to address crimes being committed by young people and the lack of consequences and accountability. The incident highlighted the issue of young offenders getting picked up and released in the city, before going on to reoffend. « These incidents undermine the work of the BPD and erode the trust our communities place in us to keep them safe, » Worley said. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott issued a statement addressing the attack and also expressed his irritation with repeat young offenders. « Time and time again, we’re frustrated by this pattern of repeatedly needing to arrest the same young people who have not received the accountability necessary from other parts of the justice system, » Scott said in a statement. »The current pattern does a disservice to our residents, our city, and — importantly — the young people themselves. Our police officers are doing their job, and I commend them for their quick action to find those responsible for this terrible attack. But clearly the larger system continues to fail these young people by returning them to the same environment that cannot hold them accountable or on the right path without the additional support needed to make a real change. »Meanwhile, Randallstown NAACP Branch President Ryan Coleman called for young offenders who are accused of committing violent crimes to be detained after the first offense, pending adjudication. »Everyone has their constitutional rights: older people should be able to walk the streets, Jewish people should be able to walk the streets, women should be able to walk the streets, » Coleman said, per WBFF. « They should not be victimized by juveniles who continue to do this kind of behavior. »

The Israel Defense Force (IDF) has met little resistance since announcing its « limited » invasion of southern Lebanon early Tuesday morning local time, a move aimed to subvert Hezbollah’s buildup along the shared border. Israel has been increasing its strikes for weeks against the terrorist organization in southern Lebanon, as well as with targeted strikes in Beirut.On Tuesday, the IDF confirmed in a statement shared with Fox News Digital that since the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks in Israel – after which Hezbollah began striking military posts along Israel’s northern border – the IDF has conducted dozens of « targeted operations » to « dismantle Hezbollah’s terrorist capabilities » that pose a threat to civilians in the north.ISRAELI MINISTERS FRUSTRATED OVER US, IDF LEAK ON LEBANON OPERATION: REPORTIDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said Tuesday that IDF special forces have entered Hezbollah compounds in « dozens of locations » along the Israel-Lebanon border, collected intelligence and dismantled positional strongholds. « Our soldiers entered Hezbollah’s underground infrastructures, exposed Hezbollah’s hidden weapon caches, and seized and destroyed the weapons, including advanced Iranian-made weapons, » Hagari said. « Overall, IDF soldiers exposed and dismantled over 700 Hezbollah terror assets during these operations. And there’s a lot more work to do. »Since the war began nearly a year ago, Israeli special forces reportedly began conducting small raids in southern Lebanon, in some cases utilizing the very tunnels Israel seized from the terrorist group years prior, and renewed attention has been brought to how the Hezbollah network operates. The terrorist group for years has relied on its heavy entanglement in civilian life, particularly in southern Lebanon, where it has rented civilian infrastructure to serve as weapons depots and even missile launcher sites. Civilian buildings have also been used to cover entrances to the group’s sophisticated tunnel network that is estimated to stretch over 100 miles in length cumulatively across the region. But despite the feared all-out war that had the potential to erupt upon Israel’s invasion of its northern neighbor, Hezbollah’s resistance has been minimal.  PENTAGON SENDING A ‘FEW THOUSAND’ PERSONNEL TO MIDDLE EAST DAY AFTER BIDEN SAID HE WOULDN’T ADD COMBAT TROOPSSecurity experts feared Hezbollah’s longtime backing from Iran would enable it to levy as many as 8,000 rockets per day in a worse case scenario, and its more than 50,000 operatives, including the elite Radwan forces, could pose a significant threat against an Israeli ground campaign. Hagari confirmed to reporters Tuesday that IDF forces were actively working to dismantle Radwan infrastructure near the border in southern Lebanon. »We need to take care of it because we will not let another 7th of October occur next to our border, » he said.In the aftermath of the Oct. 7 attacks, the IDF assessed that some 2,400 Radwan terrorists, along with another 500 Palestinian Jihadists trained by the elite force, were positioned in villages across southern Lebanon poised to attack.But the IDF on Tuesday also highlighted that Hezbollah failed to mount a counter force in response to Israel’s incursion.Jonathan Conricus, former IDF spokesperson and current senior fellow for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), told Fox News Digital that Hezbollah’s near-complete lack of a counter force could be explained by several reasons. « The IDF conducted hundreds of special operations during the last months to map and analyze Hezbollah’s hostile infrastructure in civilian houses in southern Lebanon, as well as targeted aerial campaigns against Hezbollah personnel, » he said. « Hezbollah terrorists sustained severe casualties and started to flee from southern Lebanon. « It remains unclear how many Hezbollah militants remain in the south, » he added. Given the unknown number of terrorists who fled the south, most likely to other strongholds in Beirut and in central Lebanon, reporters questioned the current IDF spokesman if this could mean that Israel will need to expand its operations north. »We’re not going to Beirut, » Hagari told reporters, emphasizing Israel’s stated goal to return its citizens to their northern homes.  « We are focusing in the area of those villages, the area next to [the] border. And we will do, in this area, what is necessary to dismantle and demolish Hezbollah’s infrastructure. »Hagari would not provide specifics on the operational timeline but said Israel’s campaign in Lebanon would be conducted in « days [to] weeks. »

A farming society dating back thousands of years was discovered in Morocco, in an archaeological site that spent many years unexplored.  The archaeological site of Oued Beht in Morocco was first uncovered in the 1930s, according to a study published on July 31, 2024, in the journal « Antiquity. » After the site was first discovered, it spent many years mostly untouched. MOM, SON DIG UP ANCIENT OBJECT OFTEN FOUND NEAR BURIAL GROUNDS WHILE GARDENINGIn 2021, new fieldwork commenced, conducted by the British-Italian-Moroccan Oued Beht Archaeological Project (OBAP). The findings presented strong evidence that the area was once used for farming.  Carbon dating of charcoal and seeds that were removed during excavations, mostly from deep pits, dated the site back to 3400 B.C. to 2900 B.C., per the study. The site is « currently the earliest and largest agricultural complex in Africa beyond the Nile corridor, » the study noted. ARCHAEOLOGISTS FIND SEVERAL ROCK CARVINGS OF ANCIENT BOARD GAME DATING BACK 4,000 YEARSBefore this fieldwork, little was known about the people who lived in this area during the time period. « For over 30 years I have been convinced that Mediterranean archaeology has been missing something fundamental in later prehistoric North Africa, » Cyprian Broodbank, of the University of Cambridge and a leader in the research, said, per Morocco World News. « Now, at last, we know that was right, and we can begin to think in new ways that acknowledge the dynamic contribution of Africans to the emergence and interactions of early Mediterranean societies. »Out of the archaeological site came pottery, chipped stone, axes and microlithics (stone tools), according to the published study. Additionally, there were several « bell-shaped » pits discovered in the excavation as well as the remains of sheep, cattle and pigs. There are strong commonalities with this particular site and ones aged similarly in Iberia, with numerous finds of African ivory and ostrich eggshells being uncovered, per the study, which has been an indication of the Iberians’ connection to Africa. « For more than a century, the last great unknown of later Mediterranean prehistory has been the role played by the societies of Mediterranean’s southern Africa shores west of Egypt, » the authors said of their recent findings, according to a press release, per Newsweek. « Our discoveries prove that this gap has been due not to any lack of major prehistoric activity, but to the relative lack of investigation and publishing. Oued Beht now affirms the central role of the Maghreb in the emergence of both Mediterranean and wider African societies. »

A cabinet-level political appointee of Minnesota’s Democratic Gov. Tim Walz decorated the walls of her home with posters of murderous communist dictators, according to a photo posted on Facebook in December 2021 that was discovered by a Minnesota resident and shared with Fox News Digital.Ida Rukavina, the commissioner of Minnesota’s Department of Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation, was appointed by Walz in 2022 to oversee the economic development of the northeastern part of the state, where the world’s largest untapped copper-nickel reserve sits. On Dec. 19, 2021, Rukavina posted a photo of her dog to Facebook, according to metadata attached to the image, which appears to have been deleted. In the background were clearly visible posters of communist leaders Mao Zedong and Che Guevara decorating the wall. The poster of Mao, China’s communist dictator from the late 1940s until his death in 1976, and whose policies have been blamed for the deaths of millions, included the communist slogan frequently extolled during his rule: « Revolution is not guilty. » Meanwhile, the poster honoring Guevara, a prominent communist figure during the Cuban Revolution who murdered and tortured hundreds of his political opponents, was paired with a novel on Rukavina’s bookshelf about his life.MINNESOTA WALZ-APPOINTED BOARD REQUIRES TEACHERS TO ‘AFFIRM’ THEIR STUDENTS’ GENDER IDENTITIESFox News Digital reached out to both Rukavina and the Walz campaign several times but did not receive a response by publication time.      Rukavina’s affinity for communist leaders comes amid scrutiny over Walz’s ties to communist China. By the governor’s own admission, he has traveled there several times, including a trip in 1993 that was paid for by the Chinese government. Walz, a former social studies teacher, was often accompanied on these trips by his students, one of whom described the governor turned vice presidential candidate as « Maoist to the core. » Rukavina was tapped by Walz to ensure « local communities in northeastern Minnesota have the resources they need to thrive. » Part of the region Rukavina oversees includes one of America’s only primary domestic sources of nickel, which the United States currently exports from a variety of other countries, including Russia, Canada and Norway. In 2024, the United States experienced a negative trade deficit on raw nickel of $79.4 million, according to the Observatory of Economic Complexity.BIDEN ADMIN SEEKS TO LOCK UP CRITICAL MINERALS WITH ECO PROTECTIONS AMID GREEN ENERGY PUSHRukavina is the daughter of the late Democratic Minnesota state Rep. Tom Rukavina, who has been described as holding communist and socialist sympathies. « Tommy Rukavina is someone I once called ‘Tommy the commie’ on the House floor, » Congressman Tom Emmer, R-Minn., said jokingly during remarks eulogizing his relationship with the late politician. Meanwhile, Rukavina reportedly once boasted he was the last socialist in the Minnesota legislature, according to local news outlet the Pioneer Press. « He’s gotten a little conservative in his old age. He’s a socialist now, » former Democratic state Rep. Carly Melin said, the local news outlet added.HARRIS VP PICK SPENT YEARS PROMOTING RESEARCH FACILITY THAT COLLABORATED WITH ‘CHINESE MILITARY COMPANY’Meanwhile, last week, the Daily Caller News Foundation uncovered that one of Walz’s other political appointees in Minnesota is a member of China’s third-largest political party, which has been granted permission to operate in the communist country because it pledges to « rally closely around » the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Committee, the outlet reported.The appointee, a Minnesota-based attorney named Chang Wang, was tapped by Walz in 2020 to serve on the Minnesota Council on Asian Pacific Minnesotans, which advises « the Governor, the Legislature, state agencies, and Asian Pacific organizations and citizens, » on issues impacting the Chinese Minnesotan community. Wang is currently the council’s vice chair, according to his profile on the council’s official government website, and his term there is expected to conclude in January 2025.

Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance ridiculed a post from MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle over-analyzing his recent off-the-cuff comment about how many eggs his sons eat.On Sept. 21, Vance visited a supermarket in Reading, Pennsylvania, to discuss the rising prices of groceries under the Biden-Harris administration. He was accompanied by his two young sons, Ewan and Vivek, who interrupted his speech to reach for a carton of eggs. »Yes, buddy. Want some eggs? Let’s talk about eggs. Because these guys actually eat about 14 eggs every single morning. Is that right? » Vance said.By Sunday, Ruhle caught wind of his comment and posted her own analysis of it.MSNBC’S STEPHANIE RUHLE CALLS OUT HARRIS FOR DODGING HOW SHE’D RAISE TAXES: ‘SHE DOESN’T ANSWER THE QUESTION' »14 eggs per day. 98 eggs per week. 2 children consuming 8+ dozen eggs per week, » Ruhle calculated.By Monday, Vance himself replied, ridiculing what he considered obvious hyperbole. »One time I said I was so tired I could sleep for days. Stephanie Ruhle: Vance, in fact, only slept for 8 hours, » Vance wrote.Fox News Digital reached out to Ruhle for a comment.Several other people across X also mocked Ruhle over her original post with a similar joke. »Vance: ‘I’m so hungry I could eat a horse!’ Ruhle: ‘TONIGHT, we talk to PETA to get to the bottom of this Republican-led equine eating catastrophe,’ » CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings wrote.Reason senior editor Robby Soave joked, « One time I said I was so hungry I could eat a horse. But I actually couldn’t eat a horse. Hopefully we’ll get the fact-checkers on this soon. Very important. » »Tim Walz lied about his military service and no can say for sure whether Harris worked at a McDonalds, but they’ll fact check the most obvious hyperbole imaginable, » RealClearInvestigations senior writer Mark Hemingway remarked.Washington Free Beacon reporter Andrew Kerr commented, « Eggs are a superfood and you should be eating them everyday. » »This response reminds me of the time CNN reported on a family who couldn’t afford their 12 gallons of milk a week and others in the media ignored the fact that milk was unaffordable and pivoted to making fun of the family instead, » political commentator Kate Hyde recalled.RedState writer Bonchie said, « Stephanie Ruhle is out here fact-checking light-hearted hyperbole. This is who the Harris campaign called up to give an interview to. Now, you know why. »Ruhle was previously mocked for repeatedly defending Vice President Kamala Harris dodging difficult questions even after giving Harris her first one-on-one cable interview Wednesday.MSNBC’S STEPHANIE RUHLE FAWNS OVER HARRIS, SAYS NON-ANSWERS ARE ‘OKAY’: THESE AREN’T ‘CLEAR AND DIRECT ISSUES' »[D]o I think that she answers every single question and gives people exactly what they want?
