A New Jersey woman has been given a second chance at life, thanks to a new cancer therapy.Pamela Goldberger, 65, found out in 2023 that she had glioblastoma a devastating diagnosis with an average survival of just 14 to 16 months, even with surgery.In an on-camera interview with Fox News Digital, Goldberger shared that her first symptoms were subtle, other than a severe bout of nausea until one night at dinner, she used her fork as her knife and her knife as her fork. (See the video at the top of the article.)MAN'S DEADLY BRAIN CANCER TUMOR DISAPPEARS AFTER EXPERIMENTAL DRUG TRIALGoldberger went to the ER for neurological testing, including MRIs and a CAT scan, which revealed a brain tumor."It's pretty devastating news to hear," she said. "I don't know what I thought was happening, but that wasn't it Our world just stopped.""We have two little grandchildren, and [I thought] I was never going to have the opportunity to see them grow up. I think that's as devastating as it gets."Goldberger was admitted to the hospital and scheduled for brain surgery a few days later.BRAIN CANCER PATIENTS WHO RECEIVED THIS PAIN MEDICATION LIVED LONGER, STUDY SHOWSSurgery is standard treatment for this highly invasive brain cancer, but the head of neurosurgery at Cooper University Hospital in Camden, New Jersey, offered Goldberger a different option.He invited Goldberger to consider joining a clinical trial for an individualized stem cell therapy that could help treat glioblastoma, and she agreed to participate.After the surgery, Goldberger began six weeks of chemotherapy and radiation, and then started six weeks of the cell therapy a few weeks later. That process was followed by another year of chemo maintenance.Although the healing process was "very gradual," Goldberger said she started to feel like herself again once the oral chemotherapy ended.Now, 2- years after her diagnosis, she is alive, healthy and able to play tennis several times a week.Survival rates and treatments for glioblastoma have not changed in 20 years, according to Dr. Joseph Georges, a neurosurgeon at Banner University Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona, who led the clinical trial."It's a highly mutated tumor and there are different cell populations for each patient," he told Fox News Digital. "And the tumor is also very good at silencing the body's immune system from attacking it."The new treatment primes the immune system to detect and kill the tumor cell by creating a vaccine directly from the patients tumor, which is collected during surgery."We're picking up all these various tumor cell types, and then we're teaching the immune system how to attack the tumor even the small cells that evade surgical resection," Georges said.TERMINAL COLON CANCER PATIENT SAVED BY BREAKTHROUGH TREATMENTThe treatment, which uses dendritic cells taken from patients, was administered to 16 people between 47 and 73 years old who were newly diagnosed with glioblastoma, including Goldberger.After undergoing chemo and radiation, the patients received three courses of the injection every two weeks, along with weekly injections of a pegylated interferon medication (a type of protein that helps regulate the immune system).The phase 1 clinical trial showed overall positive results, according to a press release from Diakonos Oncology, the group that developed the treatment, which is called DOC1021 (dubondencel).The researchers noted positive immune responses and improved survival after treatment. It was also found to be safe with minimal side effects, even at high doses.RARE SPINAL CANCER TUMOR REMOVED THROUGH PATIENTS EYE AT UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL"At best, we hope to keep it stable and hope that we don't see it grow, but we are actually seeing tumors disappear for some of these people on their MRIs," Georges told Fox News Digital, which is "something you don't see in glioblastoma.""It's truly amazing."While Goldberger still has regular check-ins with her doctors, she reported that shes feeling "good" and enjoying spending time with her grandchildren, playing tennis, having lunch with friends, reading, shopping and traveling."I'm living my best life right now, and I'm not restricted by not being able to do anything that I would want to do," she told Fox News Digital.For other glioblastoma patients, Goldberger recommends seeking out clinical trial opportunities if available and appropriate, and also urges them to take healing seriously."I was a really good patient. I did everything my doctors told me to do," Goldberger said, noting that she walked every day, ate well and got plenty of sleep.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER"I surrounded myself with things that made me happy," she went on. "Spent a lot of time with my grandchildren and my family and only did things that made me happy.""I think all those things, put together with having excellent medical care and this trial, is the reason [Im alive]. And a lot of luck."For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthGeorges agreed that patients with recurring glioblastoma should look for clinical trials that may help.Diakonos Oncology announced on July 22 that the first patient has been dosed in the phase 2 clinical trial of DOC1021. Georges shared that the trial will be available at 20 sites around the country.

A search is underway for an American journalist who went missing on a Norwegian glacier at Folgefonna National Park while on a solo backpacking trip, according to his family.Alec Luhn, 38, was reported missing on Monday to the Norwegian authorities when he did not show up for his flight home to England after leaving for a hike on July 31 in Odda, in southwestern Norway, according to his wife, Veronika Silchenko, who posted on social media urging anyone who may have seen him to get in touch.Luhn, an award-winning American climate journalist, was on vacation with his family before he left for the hike and shared his location, according to CBS News.NEW JERSEY MAN MISSING IN GRAND CANYON 'MEGA-FIRE' AS SEARCH EFFORTS CONTINUE WEEK LATERHis family was not worried since he is an experienced outdoorsman, according to the outlet. His family expected he might not have cell service, but when he did not show up for his flight back home on Monday night, they called the police.Silchenko, an Emmy-winning TV journalist, said her husband sent a picture from his last known location in Odda on Thursday, saying "that was the last time I heard from him.""Alec is basically obsessed with the Arctic," Silchenko told CBS News. "He loves glaciers and snow, and he loves explorers, and he's a climate journalist, so for him it is always that story that now because of the climate change they're all shrinking, and he's trying his best to go to the coldest countries."Luhn lives with his wife in London, but he is from Wisconsin.He has reported for various outlets, including The Guardian, The New York Times, The Atlantic, National Geographic, Scientific American, TIME, CBS News Radio and VICE News TV.Bad weather had forced a search operation with a helicopter to be suspended on Monday night, police said.WISCONSIN STUDENT ELIOTTE HEINZ'S AUTOPSY SHOWS NO FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED IN DEATH: POLICE"The weather started to get really bad around midnight. At that time, it was not reasonable to continue the search up in the mountains," Tatjana Knappen of the Western Police District told Norway's public broadcaster NRK.A volunteer search and rescue team, police, sniffer dogs and drones renewed the search on Tuesday before it was again suspended due to weather conditions.The Norwegian Red Cross said search operations had been ongoing throughout Tuesday. It said the search teams were local and familiar with the terrain, but called it particularly challenging due to difficult conditions and demanding weather.

Lockheed Martin is designing aspace-based missile interceptor and aims to test the technology for potential integration intoPresident Donald Trumps "Golden Dome" defense shield within the next three years.The defense contractor revealed this week that it hopes to test asatellite defensive weapon capable of destroying hypersonic missiles by 2028.If successful, this would mark thefirst time in history the United States has deployed interceptors in space to destroy enemy missiles before they reach the homeland. Lockheed is still weighing different technologies, ranging fromlasers to kinetic satellites that could maneuver and strike high-speed targets in flight."We have missile warning and tracking satellites made by Lockheed Martin in orbit today that provide timely detection and warning of missile threats," said Amanda Pound, mission strategy and advanced capabilities director at Lockheed Martin Space, told Fox News Digital."We are committed to making space-based interceptors for missile defense a reality, leveraging our decades of experience, investments, and industry partnerships, to be ready for on orbit testing in 2028."TRUMP UNVEILS GOLDEN DOME MISSILE SHIELD, BLINDSIDES KEY SENATORSLockheeds space interceptor project directly supports Trumps"Golden Dome for America" initiative, first unveiled in May 2025. The ambitious missile defense concept calls for aglobal constellation of satellites armed with sensors and interceptors, designed todetect, track and eliminate advanced missile threats including hypersonic and ballistic weapons before they can strike U.S. soil.The idea echoes PresidentRonald Reagans 1983 Strategic Defense Initiative, often dubbed "Star Wars," which was dismissed at the time as science fiction. But today, the technologies once seen as far-fetched arerapidly advancing, according to defense leaders.Gen.Michael Guetlein, appointed by the Trump administration to head Golden Dome, emphasized that key components of the system already exist, expressing confidence in achieving a test-ready platform by 2028. Still, its no easy feat."Intercepting a missile in orbit is a pretty wicked hard problem physicswise," said Jeff Schrader, vice president of Lockheeds space division. "But not impossible," he added, noting breakthroughs in maneuverability and guidance systems.Analysts caution that to make the Golden Dome vision a reality, the U.S. may need to launchthousands of interceptors into orbit. Some have compared it to theCold Warera "Brilliant Pebbles" program, which proposed a similar space-based missile shield but was eventually shelved due toskyrocketing costs and technical hurdles.Golden Dome is currently projected to cost$175 billion, with$25 billion already approved by Congress. But long-term estimates range anywhere from$161 billion to over $830 billion over two decades raising questions about the programs affordability and long-term sustainability.TRUMP'S 'GOLDEN DOME' WILL NEED MANHATTAN PROJECT-SCALE WHOLE-OF-GOVERNMENT EFFORT, SPACE FORCE GENERAL WARNSMeanwhile, Lockheed is bolstering ground-based missile defense systems to complement the orbital layer. In March 2025, the companysAegis Combat System aboard theUSS Pinckney successfully simulated the interception ofhypersonic medium-range missiles during theFTX-40 exercise, codenamedStellar Banshee.The company is also advancinginfrared seeker technology for interceptors, which would enhance the tracking and targeting of fast-moving missiles in their terminal phase.Lockheed remains a central player in the Pentagons broader missile defense and hypersonic weapons development effort. It is theprime contractor for the Next Generation Interceptor (NGI), which is targeting an initial operating capability by theend of fiscal year 2028.Simultaneously, the company is fulfilling Navy contracts for itsConventional Prompt Strike (CPS) hypersonic weapons system. Sea-based deployment of CPS is expected to begin between2027 and 2028.President Trump has publicly stated he wants Golden Dome operational by the end of his term. But industry officials warn thatsupply chain limitations and the Pentagonsslow-moving procurement system make full deployment by 2029 unlikely.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle crashed his teammate Fred Warners interview on Tuesday to air out a grievance he has with the league.The league informed all teams of a smelling salts ban before and during all NFL games, and the do-it-all tight end from the Bay Area is not happy."I honestly just came up here to air a grievance," Kittle said on NFL Network. "Our team got a memo today that smelling salts and ammonia packets were made illegal in the NFL, and I've been distraught all day."CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMKittle said hes a regular user of smelling salts, which gives him a boost of energy, before offensive drives."I miss those already," he added.GEORGE KITTLE'S SECRET GOLF WEAPON: WHY 49ERS STAR STILL USES ICONIC NIKE DRIVER FROM 2014The memo, provided by ESPN, says teams are prohibited from "providing or supplying ammonia in any form," which includes ammonia capsules, inhalers, ammonia in a cup or any form of smelling salts.This will be applicable throughout games, including pregame activities and halftime in and out of the locker room as well as on the sideline."In 2024, the FDA issued a warning to companies that produce commercially available ammonia inhalants (AIs), as well as to consumers about the purchase and use of AIs, regarding the lack of evidence supporting the safety or efficacy of AIs marketed for improving mental alertness or boosting energy," the memo read, per ESPN. "The FDA noted potential negative effects from AI use. AIs also have the potential to mask certain neurological signs and symptoms, including some potential signs of concussion."As a result, the NFL Head, Neck and Spine Committee recommended prohibiting the use of AIs for any purpose during NFL play."Kittle jokingly said, "I considered retirement," after reading the memo on Tuesday. However, he likely isnt the only one viewing this new directive in a bad light."Wehave got to figure out a middle ground here, guys. Somebody help me out. Somebody come up with a good idea," he said. "That's all I had to get out there. Get that off my chest."Kittle is entering his ninth year in the NFL, all with the 49ers, and hes coming off yet another season with over 1,000 yards receiving. He had 78 receptions for 1,106 yards with eight touchdowns.The 31-year-old is one of the best at his position in the league, but hes going to have to find his gameday energy boost elsewhere in 2025 and beyond.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

A longtime network morning show veteran believes Gayle King "has lost a lot of her leverage" as "CBS Mornings" is mired in third place with an ownership change looming.The FCC approved a long-planned, $8 billion merger between Paramount Global and Skydance Media last month which will soon place CBS News under new ownership. The deal, which is set to close Thursday, will see Skydance CEO David Ellison take control of the Tiffany Network and its struggling news division.Industry insiders believe Ellison, who was spotted sitting with President Donald Trump at a UFC event in April, will aim to eliminate the perceived liberal slant at CBS News. Ellisons team has already committed to appointing an ombudsman to oversee CBS News content, and staffers are bracing for other changes as Skydance honchos put their stamp on the network.CBS STAFFERS SPECULATE ON GAYLE KING'S FUTURE AS NETWORK BOSSES PUSH 'EDITORIAL SHIFT' ON STRUGGLING AM SHOWThis has put a spotlight on Kings "CBS Mornings," which has never seriously challenged NBCs "Today" or ABCs "Good Morning America" for any substantial length of time, instead settling for a perennial third-place finish among all relevant viewership measurables."CBS Mornings," co-anchored by King, Tony Dokoupil and Nate Burleson, averaged 1.8 million total viewers during July, compared to 2.7 million for "GMA" and 2.4 million for "Today."While third place is nothing new for CBS morning show, the program is also steadily losing viewers."CBS Mornings" averaged 1.9 million viewers in 2025 through July 27, shedding 10% of the 2.2 million it averaged during the same time period in 2024. The ratings drop is even worse among the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults aged 25-54, as "CBS Mornings" has averaged 332,000 demo viewers in 2025a loss of a quarter of the 441,000 it managed in 2024.NBCs "Today" and ABCs "Good Morning America" have also lost viewers compared to the first seven months of 2024, but the declines are not as severe as the drop-off at CBS.CBS HOST GAYLE KING INSISTS DEI MEANS DEFINITELY EARNED IT"CBS Mornings" has also lost 6% of total viewers and 18% in the demo when comparing its average audience since Election Day 2024 to the period before President Trumps victory over former Vice President Kamala Harris.King, who has long been the subject of often-unflattering tabloid fodder, has not helped "CBS Mornings" increase its audience despite the free publicity she generates by hobnobbing with A-listers. King is regularly on red carpets and often posts photos at lavish events. The high-paid anchor was photographed alongside Oprah Winfrey and Kris Jenner lounging on a yacht off the coast of Spain in July after attending Jeff Bezos $50 million wedding.In April, King drew criticism when she was part of an all-female crew for a 10-minute Blue Origin space flight. Some complained about the environmental impact, and others questioned if the brief flight was a worthwhile use of resources.The Blue Origin space flight gave "CBS Mornings" a brief bump, but the program has since lost 5% of its 2025 total viewers and 17% of demo viewers since the day King went to space.The ownership change has led to industry chatter that changes are inevitable, with much speculation around King and whether incoming executives will keep her around when her contract expiresreportedly in May 2026."Gayle is the only CBS News employee making eight figures, and shes gotten anything she wants for years, including choosing her executive producer [Shawna Thomas] and doing alienating coverage out of touch with the CBS viewer," a longtime network morning show producer told Fox News Digital."Now that the numbers are slipping badly, Gayle has lost a lot of her leverage," they continued. "Combine that with her embarrassing space flight and her tasteless swanning around on David Geffens yacht last month with Kris Jenner, and shes due for a big pay cut and a comeuppance."King has also been a champion of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), which is something Ellisons team has promised to dismantle at CBS. She also sparked backlash for taking a 2017 vacation with the Obamas while she worked on a show that covered politics. At the time, King insisted her trip to Tahiti alongside the former president was not political, but her cozy relationship with the former First Family helped tarnish the reputation of CBS Newssomething incoming management is believed to want to distance itself from.GAYLE KING DISAPPOINTED BY BACKLASH TO BLUE ORIGIN FLIGHT, ACCUSES CRITICS OF SEXISMA CBS News staffer recently told Fox News Digital that King is "insulated by her team," which includes Thomas. However, an "editorial shift" is being pushed by CBS News president and executive editor Tom Cibrowski and his No. 2, Wendy Fisher, the network's senior vice president of editorial."Theyre changing story selection and tweaking the show some," the CBS staffer said."I know Tom has been involved in the show heavily though," they continued. "He wants us to focus on stories outside of major cities and in the middle of the country. Stories that affect real people and that theyre talking about at home."The staffer believes the changes Cibrowski has implemented over the past couple of months are him "putting his mark on the division" and have nothing to do with the parent company Paramount's settlement with Trumpor the Paramount-Skydance merger.In September, "CBS Mornings"will ditch its studio in Times Square and return to CBS Broadcast Center on 57th Street in New York City. It remains to be seen what other changes are on the horizon once Skydance executives begin to put their mark on the division.CBS News did not immediately respond to a request for comment.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPFox News Digitals Joseph A.

For most teenagers, the first day of school is filled with a familiar cocktail of nerves and excitement.Whos in your classes? Will you like your teachers and the subjects? Is your locker anywhere near your best friends? Its the stuff of adolescencethe drama of group chats, homecoming, AP exams and figuring out where you belong.But for Jewish students in public schools across America, a different question now looms: Is it safe to be visibly Jewish here?Since Oct. 7 2023, and in truth long before, a slow-creeping shadow has been cast over what should be ordinary, even joyful, school experiences. The rise in antisemitism across the country hasnt spared hallways, classrooms or cafeterias. What once mightve been a passive comment about someone "looking Jewish" has escalated to swastikas scrawled on desks, Holocaust jokes traded on social media and Jewish students being told to "go back to Israel" even if theyve never been there or that they are "genocide supporters."CANADAS ANTISEMITISM ENVOY RESIGNS, CITING EXHAUSTION AMID HATE SURGEThe pressure is relentless. Imagine studying for a math test while overhearing someone at the next table claiming the Holocaust was exaggerated. Picture walking into school wearing a Star of David necklace and feeling eyes on you not with admiration, but with suspicion, judgment or open hostility. These arent abstract fears. They are lived realities reported in schools from New York to California, from Florida to Illinois.In a world where students are already carrying the invisible weight of anxiety, academic stress and social pressure, Jewish teens are carrying one more burden: fear.And its not just physical safety its also emotional and identity-based. Students who once proudly wore their Judaica or talked about their summer at Jewish camp now wonder if its safer to be silent. They wrestle with whether to speak up when Israel comes up in class discussions, knowing they might be met with ignorance at best and outright venom at worst. Some are even advised by well-meaning adults to "just keep a low profile."SIGN UP FOR ANTISEMITISM EXPOSED NEWSLETTERBut silence has never been the Jewish response to injustice. And thankfully, many students are refusing to shrink themselves.Extracurricular clubs like the Jewish Student Union, a program of NCSY, are taking root in public middle and high schools across the country, creating spaces where Jewish teens can gather, support one another and learn how to respond with dignity and courage. Organizations like the ADL are providing schools with training and resources to recognize and combat antisemitism. And parents, educators and allies are beginning to realize that this isnt just a "Jewish problem." Its a societal one.Whats at stake isnt just Jewish student safety. Its the soul of the American public school system one that is supposed to serve as a beacon of pluralism, inclusion and equal opportunity. A place where students of all backgrounds can thrive not despite who they are, but because of it.For Jewish students, the goal isnt to be seen as political actors or lightning rods for controversy. Its to be kids. To worry about SATs and science fairs. To laugh with friends during lunch. To wonder if their crush is going to the same party. And yes, to wear their Star of David without fear.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONSchools must rise to this moment. Administrators need to treat antisemitism with the same urgency as any other form of hate. Teachers must be trained. Offhand comments must be challenged. And Jewish students must be reminded, over and over, that they are not alone.Because when a 14-year-old walks into homeroom, the only thing they should worry about is whether they remembered their homework not whether theyll be targeted for their heritage.We owe them that much.

That scene.Looking back on her infamous "Basic Instinct" leg-crossing scene, Sharon Stone says she wouldnt take it out, despite having had the legal right to do so at the time."It made me an icon, but it didn't bring me respect," Stone told Business Insider of the controversial moment.She added, "I very much believe that none of us knew at the time what we were getting in regard to that shot, and when [director] Paul [Verhoeven] got it, he didn't want to lose it, and he was scared to show me. And I get that."SHARON STONE, MICHAEL DOUGLAS CELEBRATE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF BASIC INSTINCT: A LITTLE CONTROVERSYShe said once she calmed down, "I didn't make him take it out of the movie when I had the legal right to. So I did have the chance to do it differently, and I didn't because once I had the chance to step back, I understood, as the director, not the girl in the film, that that made the movie better."Stone went into more detail about her reaction in her memoir "The Beauty of Living Twice.""First, at that time, this would give the film an X rating," Stone explained. "Remember, this was 1992, not now, when we see erect penises on Netflix. And, Marty said, per the Screen Actors Guild, my union, it wasnt legal to shoot up my dress in this fashion.Whew,I thought. After the screening, I let Paul know of the options Marty had laid out for me. Of course, he vehemently denied that I had any choices at all. I was just an actress, just a woman; what choices could I have?"She wrote that before she had been called in to see the shot, she had been told "'We cant see anything I just need you to remove your panties, as the white is reflecting the light, so we know you have panties on.'"Stone wrote that she eventually decided to let it stay in because "it was correct for the film and for the character; and because, after all, I did it."In fact, Stone told Insider that she almost didnt get the part of villainess Catherine Tramell because Michael Douglas, who played the detective investigating her for murder, didnt want to work with an unknown."Everyone they went out to would turn it down," she explained. "But the thing was, Michael Douglas did not want to put his bare a-- out on the screen with an unknown and I understood that. He wouldn't even test with me, but that was also for a different reason: We had an argument prior to that."SHARON STONE'S 8 BIGGEST ROLES: BASIC INSTINCT AND BEYONDLIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSStone said at the Cannes Film Festival before she was cast in "Basic Instinct" she called him out for talking about someone she knew."So I said something and he responded to me, saying, What the f--- do you know?" she said.

That's how we first met."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERThe pair did indeed go outside, Stone claimed, and she said she explained to him what she knew of the person he was talking about."And then we parted," she said. "I wouldn't say as best friends, but amicably. So, fast forward to casting Basic Instinct, I don't think he wanted me to be his costar."Reps for Douglas told Insider that he didnt remember seeing Stone at Cannes until they were promoting the film together.Allen Burry, a rep for Douglas, told Fox News Digital, "Michael Douglas has nothing to say beyond what was reported yesterday by People magazine online."Burry told People on Monday that Douglas was "very surprised [by Sharon's quotes]," as "he doesn't remember any argument in that timeframe" between them."He actually only remembers seeing and meeting Sharon for the first time when he saw [director] Paul Verhoeven's screen test of her forBasic Instinctand [Michael] said, 'Absolutely, she's the one,'" he continued.While Douglas "definitely spent time with" Stone at Cannes,"that was later, when they were promotingBasic Instinctin 1992," Burry said. "And by the time they'd done the movie, they were friends."Stone said the tension helped their onscreen chemistry.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"It worked great because I was not rattled if he yelled at me," she said. "That was interesting for the character because Michael has a temper, and I didn't care. That worked very well in our dynamic. Eventually, we became the greatest of friends, to this day.

A longtime city council member and a popular pastor will face off to become the next mayor of Detroit in November as the top two vote-getters in Tuesdays primary contest.Detroit City Council President Mary Sheffield received 50.82% of the vote on Tuesday, while Pastor Solomon Kinloch received the second-highest amount at 17.37%, according to unofficial election results published by the City of Detroit website.Novembers general election will decide which of the two will succeed popular three-term Mayor Mike Duggan, who is running as an independent for Michigans open governors seat in 2026. Sheffield and Kinloch bested a field of seven others, including former police Chief James Craig, former City Council member Saunteel Jenkins and current member Fred Durhal III. Voter turnout was 16.69% out of a total of 518,314 registered voters.NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR'S RACE: DEMOCRAT SHERRILL LEADS REPUBLICAN CIATTERELLI BY SIX POINTS IN 2026 BELLWETHERIf elected, Sheffield would be the first woman to hold the role of Detroit mayor. She was first elected to the City Council in 2013 at age 26 and has been council president since 2022. Her father, Horace Sheffield III, is an activist and pastor of New Destiny Christian Fellowship church.Kinloch has been senior pastor at Triumph Church for about 27 years. The Detroit-based church has more than 40,000 members across a number of campuses. Kinloch was also an autoworker and member of the United Auto Workers union."Detroit, we made this moment together," Sheffield told supporters at a downtown rooftop venue Tuesday night after easily taking the top spot in the crowded field. "We claimed it together, and, Detroit, I believe that our best days are ahead of us."She said the primary win belongs to every boy or girl told to "dream small," every neighborhood where people feel left behind, every senior who "paved the way" and every college student who wants to stay in the city."This is our moment," she said.Kinloch said that despite Detroit's resurgence, prosperity has not trickled down to enough of its residents."Until we reach the whole town, we have not done nearly enough," he told supporters Tuesday night before being declared the second highest vote-getter. "I didnt enter this race to chase power. I came to serve with a purpose. If we want a city that shines, we cannot ignore whats in the shadows. If we want Detroit to rise, we cannot celebrate billions in investment downtown, but poverty in the neighborhoods."Kinloch also said crime still needs to be addressed."Its time we reckoned with reality, that far too many Detroiters feel left out," he said.ALLEGED SERIAL CRIMINAL NABBED IN MICHIGAN TRAFFIC BUST AFTER BIDEN ADMINISTRATION RELEASED HIM INTO USPresident Donald Trump campaigned in Detroit last October on the promise of revolutionizing U.S. auto-making and pointed to the citys former manufacturing might as a broader symbol of an American industrial comeback. The president has said his tariffs policy is pressuring automakers to move investments and onshore production to the U.S., but automakers are facing initial uncertainties regarding the costs of imported auto parts and aluminum and steel.Stellantis, the maker of Jeep and Ram vehicles, has two facilities in Detroit. The automaker said last month that its preliminary estimates showed a $2.68 billion net loss in the first half of the year due to U.S. tariffs and some hefty charges.Dearborn-based Ford Motor Co., meanwhile, reported in June that second-quarter results fell $800 million due to tariffs, but Ford CEO Jim Farley said the company was in daily contact with the White House and expected "a lot of upside" longer term as the administration continued tariffs negotiations, Reuters reported.Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer a potential 2028 presidential candidate who often clashed with Trump during his first term made her second visit to the White House on Tuesday to discuss tariff relief for the state's auto industry.Duggan, who is running for Michigan's governor in 2026 as an independent, led Detroit as it exited the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history and surged back to respectability following decades of economic hardship. The former prosecutor and medical center chief has overseen a massive anti-blight campaign and pushed affordable housing developments across the city. The next mayor will inherit a city on much firmer footing than the one Duggan was elected to lead in 2013, when an emergency manager installed by the state to oversee the city's flailing finances filed for bankruptcy on its behalf.Perhaps the most visual example of the city's turnaround has been the renovation of the Michigan Central train station. For decades, the massive building just west of downtown symbolized all that was wrong with Detroit. Ford Motor Co. stepped in and bought the old station and adjacent properties. It reopened in 2024 following a six-year, multimillion-dollar renovation that created a hub for mobility projects.Detroit shed or restructured about $7 billion in debt and exited bankruptcy in December 2014. A state-appointed board managed the citys finances for several years. Detroit has had 12 consecutive years of balanced budgets.Developers have built hundreds of affordable housing units in the city, and more than 25,000 vacant and derelict homes and buildings have been demolished.The next mayor will be under pressure to maintain that progress and continue to keep the city's financial and population growth going. In 2023, the census estimated that Detroit's population rose to 633,218 from 631,366 the previous year. It was the first time the city had shown population growth in decades.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPDetroit is also becoming a destination for visitors.

Infamous Democratic donor George Soros and former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke are responsible for two major funding groups behind the Texas Democrats fleeing the state to prevent the GOP from voting on a new congressional map.Powered by People (PBP), founded by O'Rourke, has played a major role in supporting the roughly 50 Democrats who departed for New York and Illinois, paying for airfare, lodging, and helping with the $500-per-day fines the lawmakers face for skipping legislative session, the Texas Tribune reported. Meanwhile, the Soros-backed Texas Majority PAC has reportedly been working with national fundraising groups to secure additional funds for the last-ditch delaying tactic.PBP is actively soliciting donations on its website to support the Democratic effort, promising potential donors that "100% of your donation will go to supporting Texas Democrats in their fight against Trump's power grab."The organization did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
