A baffled boyfriend drew the ire of his girlfriend after he picked through her mother's soup in an insulting way sparking a social media firestorm.Posting his story on a popular Reddit forum, the young man said the couple was visiting his girlfriend's mom's house when they were served seafood chowder."[My girlfriend's mom] made it once before and it was really good, but she add[ed] a few pieces of ginger to flavor it," he wrote.HUSBAND REFUSES TO EAT CHICKEN LEFT IN HOT CAR FOR HOURS, SPARKING FOOD SAFETY DEBATE: 'NOT THRILLED'"I really, really, really hate biting into ginger," he said. "I don't mind the flavor it imparts, I just hate the taste of actually eating a piece."The boyfriend said that he once bit into a piece of ginger in her past soups and it "almost ruined the whole meal."This time, the man said, he asked the mother if she used the root vegetable.She replied that she did and forgot to pick the pieces out.WOMAN GOES VIRAL ON REDDIT FOR CALLING OUT HUSBAND'S LAST-MINUTE PARTY DEMANDS"She seemed genuinely apologetic about it," the man recalled. "I told her it was no problem and I had an idea."He continued, "I saw a colander hanging on a rack on the kitchen counter and I went to the kitchen and strained the soup into another bowl (which I asked if I could grab) and picked out the couple pieces of ginger."He then "dumped the remaining strained pieces of potato and fish and shrimp and scallops and stuff back into the liquid."The man said, "I even [apologized] for the extra dishes and offered to help clean up afterward."The girlfriend's mom didn't seem to mind at the moment, but the Redditor's quick-thinking did not please his partner who was quiet during the drive home."She told me I didn't have to be such an a--hole and make a big show and dance about insulting her mom's food," he said.But the boyfriend tried to defend his actions, saying he liked the food "except for a couple of ingredients."WOMAN WHO FINDS MEAL PREP 'EXHAUSTING' SLAMMED FOR NOT COOKING 'FANCIER' FOODS"Still didn't smooth things over, though," he added.The Reddit community nearly unanimously branded the boyfriend as rude and tone-deaf."This is actually really embarrassing for you," one person wrote."Picking them out of individual spoonfuls would have been much less dramatic," another added."Stop being so picky or just don't eat those things from your bowl," a third person said. "No, you don't grab a strainer and do that. Where are your manners?"CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERCarole Lieberman, M.D., a psychiatrist based in Beverly Hills, California, weighed in on the ginger dilemma. The relationship expert described the boyfriend's behavior to Fox News Digital as a "red flag.""Not just because it was rude, but because it signals a lack of awareness of other peoples feelings, a need [for] control and self-centeredness," Lieberman said."The key to understanding the ginger dilemma is first understanding what the mother's intentions are in serving them [the] soup."A home-cooked meal, she observed, is a symbol of nurturance and affection in this case, a mother's love."So, even though he reports that the mom didn't react like it was a big deal, when he hacked into and dismembered her soup, it was hurtful to her because it felt like he was rejecting her love," the psychiatrist said.For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyleThe boyfriend would have been better served if he quietly placed the ginger pieces to the side instead of making a dramatic gesture, Lieberman said."What he did not only strained the soup, it strained their relationship," she noted.But the silver lining, Lieberman said, is that the boyfriend's intentions were pure."He didn't do these things to be rude," she concluded.Instead, "he rationalized that he was being thoughtful in taking care of the ginger dilemma himself, rather than asking the mother to fix it."Lieberman suggested that the girlfriend "should observe whether he is self-absorbed and controlling in other situations before making any rash decisions about the relationship."

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz says the Trump administration plans to invest more than $200 billion "more dollars" into Medicaid following the passage of the "One Big Beautiful Bill.""I'm trying to save this beautiful program, this noble effort, to help folks, giving them a hand up," Oz told CBS' "Face the Nation" on Sunday."And as you probably gather, if Medicaid isn't able to take care of the people for whom it was designed, the young children, the dawn of their life, those who are twilight of their lives, the seniors, and those who were disabled living in the shadows, as Hubert Humphrey said, then we're not satisfying the fundamental obligation of a moral government," he continued.Oz, the 17th administrator for CMS, said the government wants "an appropriate return" on the Medicaid investment. He addressed the difference in drug costs between the U.S. and Europe, adding that work is being done by the administration in an attempt to bring drug prices down.

Earlier this month, the federal agency agreed to hand over its massive database, including home addresses, to deportation officials.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Facebook, being a platform used by billions, is flooded with all kinds of accounts. However, not all of them are genuine. Many are bots that often hijack comment sections, posting the same messages repeatedly. There are also accounts that have built their entire follower base by sharing content originally created by others.Meta seems to have realized the platform needs some cleaning, and it has announced that a staggering 10 million accounts were deleted in the first half of 2025 alone. The purge, it seems, is far from over.Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox.

This is part of a broader effort to promote original content and clean up the platform and prioritize original content. The accounts were taken down for impersonating large content producers, according to the company, which shared the update in a blog post aimed at creators.WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?The crackdown is part of a broader initiative "to make Feed more relevant and help authentic creators break through," with Meta starting by "cracking down on spammy content."In addition to the 10 million impersonator accounts, the company says it took action on around 500,000 accounts engaged in spammy behavior or fake engagement. The company is also enforcing stricter policies to cut down on what it calls unoriginal content. It defines this as posts that repeatedly reuse or repurpose another creator's work without giving credit.Meta says it's not targeting creators who participate in trends or remix existing content. What matters is whether they add something original to the mix. The company encourages reaction videos, commentary and other transformative uses of content.But accounts that repeatedly repost others' work without permission or meaningful changes will face consequences. These actions include reducing how widely Meta shows their content and temporarily disabling access to monetization features. If Meta's systems detect duplicate videos, the platform will prioritize the original version and limit the reach of the copies.The company is also experimenting with ways to credit original creators more clearly, such as adding links back to the source video. To help creators maintain visibility and reach, Meta recommends focusing on original content, avoiding third-party watermarks and making substantial edits when using material from other sources. Basic stitching or watermarking, the company notes, doesn't count as a meaningful transformation.GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HEREMeta's crackdown isn't just about removing spam. It directly affects how content is ranked, shown and monetized. For creators, especially smaller ones trying to expand an audience, originality now plays a bigger role than ever. If your content is flagged as unoriginal or spammy, Facebook may stop showing it in people's feeds. That can tank your reach and, in some cases, cut off access to monetization tools like in-stream ads or bonus programs.On the flip side, creators who focus on making unique content or thoughtfully transforming existing media have a better shot at standing out. Meta says it's adjusting its algorithms to boost authentic voices. That could help original creators gain more traction if they play by the new rules.To prevent Meta from flagging or removing your Facebook account under its new policies, especially if you're a creator or post content regularly, follow these key steps:1. Post original content. Share content you created yourself, whether it's photos, videos, text or anything else. Meta is more likely to penalize accounts that mostly rely on reposted or recycled material.2. Transform content if you reuse it.If you're sharing someone else's content (with permission or under fair use), add real value. Think reaction videos, voiceover, commentary or edits that change the context or experience. Simply stitching clips together or slapping on a watermark won't cut it.3. Avoid impersonation and spam tactics.Don't pretend to be another creator or brand, and don't rely on engagement bait (like spamming comment sections or repetitive hashtags). Meta is actively removing accounts that engage in fake interactions.4. Avoid using visible third-party watermarks. If your video shows clear signs of being recycled from another app, such as a TikTok watermark, Meta may flag it. Upload clean versions without logos or branding from other platforms.Meta cracking down on spam and fake accounts is a step in the right direction, especially for creators who've been struggling to get noticed. Facebook has been messy for a while now, with the same videos and memes popping up from different pages and bots flooding comment sections.Have you noticed more recycled content on your Facebook Feed lately?

FIRST ON FOX - In a war-torn part of the Middle East, where corruption and violence often determine who gets to eat and who goes hungry, one woman chose to challenge the system.When much of the world had written off northern Gaza as unreachable, 30-year-old east-Jerusalem resident Sarah Awaidah and her team carved out a lifeline. Under the umbrella of Mena Aid, a regional partner coalition operating through the Multifaith Alliance (MFA), and in coordination with Israeli authorities, she built a system that moved hundreds of trucks of food and supplies into Gaza bypassing Hamas and private contractors who had turned hunger into a business.The result: more than 100,000 families fed. The cost: her own safety. "I never imagined that creating a safe, independent humanitarian route would become the reason my life might end," Sarah Awaidah told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview that took place in a safe house in Israel.TRUMP OFFICIALS VISIT GAZA AID SITES AS INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY PRESSURES ISRAEL"After delivering 346 trucks of aid between September 2024 and February 2025, we reached 100,622 families," Awaidah said. "We decided to scale up distribution on June 30, 2025, at a time when no one was able to get anything into Gaza because of looting, chaos and multiple layers of obstruction on the ground."Operating through Mena Aid, Awaidahs team designed an alternative route to deliver food and essential supplies.In Israel, a trusted logistics company transported the goods from the port of Ashdod to the Kerem Shalom and Zikim crossings. Inside Gaza, another logistics partner handled transport, while Awaidahs own staff coordinating in real time with Israel shadowed every shipment."Once the aid crosses into Gaza, its picked up by another trusted logistics partner and escorted by our own team members."Our teams are present during offloading and accompany the aid from the crossing to secure warehouses. Inside the warehouses, we begin distribution immediately aiming to deliver everything the same day, and at most within two to three days. Nothing is allowed to sit idle."That level of control allowed them to achieve what few others could: reaching northern Gaza, where people had not seen a staple supply of food for months.Her breakthrough exposed a darker reality an economy where hunger itself has become a business.GAZA HUMANITARIAN FOUNDATION: WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE US-BACKED AID GROUP"Theres a lot of private sector businessmen some associated with Hamas and other political groups who try to use aid to make millions," she said. "Because theres such a shortage of goods, and prices are so high, some steal aid and sell it in the market. Others try to take over the supply routes so they can resell it."According to Awaidah, her teams success threatened those who profit from scarcity. By flooding the market with free goods, they not only fed families but also drove down the inflated prices charged for basics like sugar and flour."If theres no sugar in Gaza, and we bring it in for free, they cant keep selling it at outrageous prices," she said. "So we became their problem."Israeli authorities also tried to cut off these private-sector schemes by shutting down routes that allowed commercial profiteering. While this helped curb some corruption, it also made the remaining humanitarian channels more dangerous."The private sector was blocked, and so those who lost their profits started trying harder to threaten and infiltrate the humanitarian route," she said. "They couldnt control it, so they tried to break it and me."The attacks on her came quickly. "I began receiving death threats not just from Gaza, but from the West Bank heartbreakingly, some came from people I once trusted."One of the most painful betrayals came from someone close to her, she said, "I even discovered that I was in a relationship full of lies," she said. "That person was part of a gang that wanted to exploit the aid operation and he tried to use me too. But I stood firm. I made sure he, and people like him, never got near it. And now, my life is at risk because I refused to let the private sector hijack aid for commercial gain, or let political actors bend it to serve their goals."For Awaidah, the families she helps are the reason she refuses to quit. "We created a distribution model based on verified beneficiary lists, using ID checks to ensure fair and dignified access to food," she said. "People stood in line calmly, organized, even in impossible conditions. Thats something the media rarely shows the dignity and patience of the people."In the past month alone, her group has delivered 75 trucks and has another 112 on the way from Ashdod. Each day, she focuses on the mission, even as the threats grow."What broke me most wasnt the threats from strangers it was realizing that people close to me were part of it," she said. "Its easier to fight enemies from the outside. But when it comes from your own circle, it cuts deeper. Still, that only confirms were doing something right. If theyre losing their minds over this, it means the mechanism we built works. It means its secure. It means they couldnt find a way to manipulate it, so they tried to break me instead."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPShe knows the risks. But for her, the alternative is worse. "I will not stop. And they will not stop me," she said, "I will continue delivering aid to the people who need it, no matter the threats. Thats my promise."For Awaidah, standing up to corruption has come at a steep personal cost. But for the families in Gaza who have stood in her food lines, she has already changed what once felt impossible: getting a fair share of help, without a price tag.

With trust in legacy media allegedly crumbling, FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr suggested the solution is clear shift influence away from the national gatekeepers and back into local hands."Something has to change" Carr said during "MediaBuzz" on Sunday."What the FCC is charged with is making sure that broadcast media not cable [operates in the public interest], so I think that's one of the things that we're pushing for is how do we re-empower these broadcasters who actually serve the interests of their local communities?"FCC CHAIRMAN SOUNDS CLARION CALL TO RETURN TO 'UNBIASED, TRUSTWORTHY JOURNALISM'"So much of this now is driven by the national programmers, whether it's ABC, CBS, or NBC," he continued, "So one of things we're trying to do with the FCC is how we empower local, constrain the power of those national programmers so that these broadcasters can actually serve their local communities."Carr's comments come after his agency approved a takeover of Paramount and CBS by the entertainment studio Skydance last month.The approval came on the heels of CBS announcing the upcoming demise of Stephen Colbert's "Late Show" and President Donald Trump's legal saga with the network over "60 Minutes" interview editing, fueling allegations of backroom dealings and political pressure behind the merger approval.FCC APPROVES PARAMOUNT-SKYDANCE MERGER FOLLOWING TRUMP SETTLEMENT, COLBERT CANCELLATIONSkydance has denied any role in the cancellation of Stephen Colberts late-night show, saying it was notified after the decision and had fully complied with anti-bribery laws. The defense came in a letter from Skydance General Counsel Stephanie Kyoko McKinnon to Senate Democrats, who raised questions about political pressure ahead of the Paramount acquisition.Carr, however, framed the moment as part of a seismic change in how media power is structured, and who controls the narrative, as he lauded Skydance's commitment to bring more balanced news."There are seismic changes taking place right now across the legacy media landscape. There's a lot of reasons for that, but fundamentally I think it goes back to President Trump," Carr said."He ran directly at the legacy national media, and he smashed the facade that they get to decide what we think and what we get to say Up to now, they were gatekeepers, and no one had the courage to call them out on it, number one. And number two, we didn't have access to the wide variety of information, the internet, streaming services, social media, to realize that we don't have to take what the media is saying."There's a real credibility crisis right now for legacy media, whether it's from COVID origin stories, whether it's shutting down Hunter Biden laptop, whether it's Russiagate. The list goes on and on and trust in mainstream media is falling, so I think a lot of these people who've made business models off of their gatekeeper status are worried, so they're looking to blame Trump. And, to some extent, President Trump is the reason why their business models are failing, but not for exactly the reasons that they think."Fox News' Joseph A. Wulfsohn and David Rutz contributed to this report.

During an interview with Texas Monthly on Monday, "King of the Hill" co-creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels explained how they aimed to portray their Southern characters with 'dignity,' rather than relying on the typical caricature of Southern Americans.Judge, who grew up in New Mexico, right next door to Texas, explained how he and Daniels wished to break from the stereotypical portrayal of Southerners when they created "King of the Hill" back in 1997."From the beginning, Greg and I wanted to like these characters. Were on their side. A lot of Hollywood treats anyone with a Southern accent as a sort of caricature. We were real conscious of treating these characters with dignity," he told the outlet.'KING OF THE HILL' ACTOR SHOT DEAD IN TEXASDaniels noted that people tend to feel "seen" when creators actually do their research on the group of people they are portraying in their shows, and accurately depict the subtle nuances of their lives.When Daniels began his work on another hit television show, "The Office," he was met with skepticism from the people of Scranton, Pennsylvania, where the show is based, fearing that the show would simply make fun of the blue-collar city and its residents."People feel seen when youve done the research. I took that spirit into The Office," he noted. "The people of Scranton were worried in the beginning, because they were used to being made fun of. And I was like, 'No, Im coming off of King of the Hill. We try to do stories that get it right.'"Saladin K. Patterson, the showrunner for the upcoming "King of the Hill" revival, recalled an interview with a voice actor from Singapore who was also a huge fan of the show and shared his thoughts on the creators' portrayal of Southerners.CLICK HERE FOR THE LATEST MEDIA AND CULTURE NEWS"We were interviewing a voice actor who grew up in Singapore and was a big fan of King of the Hill, and he said it was one of the few American shows that the Singapore government would let them watch," he explained. "We asked him, Did that give you a particular view of Southern America? And he was like, We didnt know they were Southern. We just thought they were American. To people outside of the country, King of the Hill actually represents America."With many of the TV shows in the late 90s and early 2000s casting fathers as clueless and out of the loop, the "King of the Hill" creators decided to take their TV dad, Hank Hill, in a different direction."Certainly when we were doing it, every TV dad was the fat dummy. And we were like, Lets jump back to Father Knows Best,'" Daniels recalled.This philosophy wasn't just applied to the show's father figure, it was also applied to the show's mother, Peggy Hill, according to Judge."It seemed a little rebellious, and then when [voice actor Kathy Najimy] started playing Peggy in a certain way, it became fun to have her be wrong sometimes, and go a little crazy," he said."King of the Hill" ran from 1997 to 2010 and is being revived with a new season in August.

Five years after a Connecticut mother vanished from her own home and was eventually declared dead, a new look into a case that has haunted suburbia is shining a light on what it means to live the American dream.Jennifer Dulos disappeared after dropping her five young children off at school in New Canaan on May 24, 2020. At the time, she was involved in a bitter divorce with her estranged husband, Fotis Dulos.Despite authorities launching an extensive search, her body was never found.SUSPECTED SERIAL KILLER MAY HAVE ABDUCTED NEWS ANCHOR WHO VANISHED 30 YEARS AGO: DOC"Its sort of everyones suburban nightmare," author Richard Cohen told Fox News Digital.

Cohen pointed to her dream of creating a life-sized dollhouse for the inspiration behind the title of the book.FATHERS PURSUIT FOR MISSING DAUGHTER HEATS UP WITH NEW EVIDENCE IN CASE THATS NO LONGER COLD"She had this obsession with dollhouses when she was a little girl," Cohen said.
