The results are in, and Massachusetts residents have flooded the Seal, Flag, and Motto Advisory Commission with submissions that range from solemn to sidesplitting.Some sketches pay homage to pine trees, codfish and Revolutionary heroes.Others went for humor, featuring Dunkin Donuts collages, velociraptors clutching coffees and lobsters taking the spotlight.This redesign effort, first launched last year, is more than a meme factory. Officials claim the commission is meant to replace state symbols many say no longer reflect the commonwealths values.ENGLAND FLAG DISPLAYS POWERFUL SYMBOL IN IMMIGRATION FIGHT AS TRUMP-STYLE POPULISM SWEEPS THROUGH UKThe June 18 deadline has passed, and the commission is now sifting through hundreds of entries to pick finalists. The submissions tell a story of Massachusetts that is equal parts reverent and irreverent, with Bay Staters leaning on history while having fun with their future.Plenty of residents took a traditional approach. Submissions featured pine trees, golden codfish, Mayflower ships, lighthouses and even the USS Constitution. Whales appeared in multiple proposals, honoring the states seafaring legacy.Latin mottos poured in, from "Melius praeteritum futurum intelligendo facimus," or "By understanding the past, we make a better future."But the submissions generating the most buzz are the cheeky ones. A flag covered in Dunkin logos and rainbow sprinkles. A raptor holding a coffee with "Massachusetts" scrawled above in Comic Sans.There were mottos that read like punchlines, like "Massachusetts: Witch-free since 1693" and "Providing Spelling Bee Fodder for the Ages." If nothing else, the people of Massachusetts are self-aware and chronically online.TRUMP OFFICIAL FIRES BACK AT DEMOCRATIC SENATOR WHO CALLED HISTORIC FLAG 'CHRISTIAN NATIONALIST' SYMBOLSome submissions tried to thread the needle between tradition and reinvention. Suggestions included removing the sword above the Native figure but keeping the classic shield, swapping in turkeys or pine trees for endurance and New England spirit or adopting inclusive slogans like "Born Free and Equal," pulled from John Adams state constitution, or "Together We Thrive."State officials say they welcome both the serious and the silly. Education Secretary Patrick Tutwiler said the redesign is about more than swapping symbols."Our seal, flag and motto should reflect not just our history, but the vibrant, diverse community we are today," Tutwiler said.Kate Fox, co-chair of the commission, shared that sentiment, adding, "Its an opportunity to ensure that every community sees itself in our story."The commission will now narrow the flood of entries down to three finalists in each category and hold public hearings before making final recommendations.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPWhether Massachusetts lands on a dignified Mayflower seal or a coffee-wielding dinosaur, the Bay State might just have the funniest flag redesign debate in the nation.All design submissions can be viewed here.

EXPERTS WEIGH IN ON HER STUNNING TRANSFORMATIONWhile appearing on the cover of Vogue Arabia's September issue, Jenner opened up about her recent procedure."I had a facelift about 15 years ago, so it was time for a refresh," she told the outlet.Jenner continued, "I decided to do this facelift because I want to be the best version of myself, and that makes me happy.""Just because you get older, it doesnt mean you should give up on yourself," she added. "If you feel comfortable in your skin and you want to age gracefully meaning you dont want to do anything then dont do anything."But for me, this is aging gracefully. Its my version."Jenner told the outlet that New York-based plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Levine performed the facelift and said her daughters, Kylie Jenner and Kim, supported her during her surgery."Of course, my daughter Kylie went with me, while Kim was present at all times on FaceTime," she said."The Kardashians" star explained why she believed that it was important for her to be transparent about her surgeries."I decided to reveal some details because I feel it can be very inspirational to people who arent feeling so great about themselves," Jenner said. "Even when I had my hip replacement, we filmed it. I have the conviction that sharing these things can be helpful."Jenner's revelation comes after Kylie surprised fans with her candid response to a TikTok user, who posted a video in which she pleaded with the Kylie Cosmetics mogul to share what exactly she requested when she underwent her breast augmentation.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING?

Such an incredible talent!!"While speaking with Vogue, Jenner, who turns 70 in November, shared her perspective on aging."I dont know what 70 is supposed to feel like, but I feel great and Im happy to be there," she said. "I just have to try my best to do what I can to feel good and healthy.""My blessing is my family," she added. "If I can be a part of their lives in the best way possible, then Im thrilled."The Kardashian-Jenner family matriarch, who manages six of her children's careers and oversees nine family-owned companies, explained that she has no plans to retire anytime soon. "My mom worked until she was 82, and Im planning on following suit," she told the outlet with a laugh. "Maybe 85?"

Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders revealed his bold idea for the College Football Playoff (CFP) that no one has brought up, and it doesnt involve the format.Its about paying the players."Coach Prime" suggested paying the players for making the CFP and, furthermore, paying them extra if they advance."Now, its equality, now its even, and every player is making the same amount of money," Sanders said in an interview with the Associated Press.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThat interview also involved college football coaching legend Nick Saban as part of their new Aflac commercial. Saban has been extremely vocal about getting college sports down the right path in this new name, image and likeness (NIL)-fueled system.While a commissioner of college sports was floated, Saban said he wants no part of that.WATCH ON THE FOX ONE APP START YOUR 7-DAY FREE TRIAL TODAY"I dont want to be in that briar patch of being a commissioner, but I do want to do everything I can to make it right," he noted.Both coaches feel more structure is needed, though, as schools have the ability to make players millionaires due to NIL deals and schools being able to pay up to $20.5 million each to their athletes over the next year.Sanders referred to NIL deals as a joke, saying that "there are only three or four guys who you might know their NIL, and the rest youre just giving money to."Saban also worries about what happens after these players leave college."For years and years and years as coaches, and when we were players, we learned this: were trying to create value for our future," Saban explained. "Thats why were going to college. Its not just to see how much money we can make while were in college. Its how that impacts your future as far as our ability to create value for ourselves."To Sanders point about paying players for making the College Football Playoff, conferences whose schools make the 12-team CFP receive $4 million. Those payouts increase with each win, but Sanders wants the wealth to spread to those players helping make that happen instead of just the conferences.ALABAMA SHOULD CONSIDER BRINGING IN DEION SANDERS AS HEAD COACH, ESPN STAR SAYSThats what the NFL does with its playoff bonuses. For example, winners of the Super Bowl received $171,000 each last year, no matter what part they played in making that happen.And for those conferences that believe a guaranteed bid to the CFP should be made available, like the SEC and Big Ten, Saban isnt having it."The NFC East has the Cowboys, Eagles and Giants. They have the biggest fan bases of anyone, and they have to play their way in," he reminded football fans. "Everyone should play their way in."The world of college sports, especially when it comes to building a college football program, has been turned on its head, and coaches continue to navigate those waters each season.Until a proper structure is in place, any idea can be floated, like Sanders proposal, as we head into another season of football.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Video of a wild bust-up on an American Airlines flight shows two men battling it out in the aisle after one allegedly grabbed a woman's neck while passengers disembarked.The video, obtained by TMZ, caught the confrontation on American Airlines Flight 2249 as the plane arrived in Miami on Monday.In the clip, a man appears to aggressively grab a woman in the aisle of the plane and push her back before another male passenger rushes forward to intervene.A "safety alert" announcement can be heard in the background.MASSACHUSETTS MAN SENTENCED FOLLOWING VIOLENT IN-FLIGHT RAMPAGE ON BOARD UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHTThe situation spirals as the man who had allegedly held the woman moves down the aisle. He shoves the intervening passenger into a row of seats, shouting, "Dont you grab me like that."Other passengers can be heard screaming in disbelief and anger as they look on."What the f--- are you doin?" one woman shouted, demanding someone arrest the man.Another passenger pleaded, "Were trying to pass. Somebody needs to get this man. Call the police."A flight attendant can also be heard trying to restore order, asking travelers to clear the aisle so passengers in the back can make their connecting flights.FBI INVESTIGATING MIDAIR BRAWL THAT FORCED BREEZE AIRWAYS FLIGHT TO DIVERTBusiness Insider reported earlier this year that nearly 13,000 "unruly passenger incidents" have been reported to the Federal Aviation Administration by flight attendants since 2021. "Air travel can often bring out people's worst tendencies thanks to how much of the experience is out of their control," the report states.The Miami-Dade Sheriffs Office confirmed to TMZ that deputies responded to a report of battery after the incident.However, no arrests were made.

In 2001, Mo Lewis delivered a tackle that altered NFL history.Lewis, who spent his entire pro career with the New York Jets, tackled then-New England Patriots starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe. The hit forced Bledsoe to exit the game, giving Tom Brady an opportunity to play. Brady took advantage of the chance, and Bledsoe never reclaimed the starting job.While Lewis appeared to receive the lion's share of the blame for sparking the two-decade run of unprecedented success Brady produced with the New England Patriots, the retired linebacker argued the fault should actually be assigned to Bledsoe.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMIn longtime NFL reporter Gary Myers' book, "Brady vs. Belichick," Lewis pointed to Bledsoes decision to scramble on the play."[Bledsoe] just signed a $100 million deal to be what type of quarterback? A passing quarterback, correct? Had he not got outside the pocket and ran with the ball, would we be talking about this? Who caused the event? The person who was with the ball," Lewis noted."Now he's doing what he didn't sign up for. He signed up to be a passing quarterback. What do I do? I stop the people with the ball. It's just another play for me. But it's a different play for him."NFL STAR CHOOSES SIDE IN PEYTON MANNING VS TOM BRADY DEBATELewis gave chase as Bledsoe scrambled to try and gain enough yardage for a first down. The hit on Bledsoe was deemed legal, but many observers likely remembered the tackle due to its intensity.Lewis stepped away from football after the 2003 season, and he's largely avoided the media or public events affiliated with the Jets in the years since.Lewis decision to live away from the spotlight centered on his frustration with being remembered mostly for the Bledsoe tackle instead of his overall career achievements, ESPN reported, citing Lewis teammates.Lewis earned first-team All-Pro honors in 1998 and was selected to three Pro Bowls.Lewis suggested he wasnt personally affected by the fallout from the infamous play."It's really irrelevant to me," he said. "It was just another play to me. To you all, it's a big game-changing, history-changing play. I've never gone back to watch the play. If people want to talk about it, I don't hide from it. But it has no importance to me."Brady went on to win six Super Bowl titles with the Patriots. He left the franchise after the 2019 season and won his seventh championship with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

The mother of the shooter who opened fire on a Minneapolis Catholic church Mass on Wednesday is not cooperating with investigators as they try to determine what led to the tragic events that left two children dead and 18 others injured, including 15 children.Fox News learned the shooters mother, Mary Grace Westman, has retained criminal defense attorney Ryan Garry.When asked why the mother obtained a criminal attorney, Garry told Fox, "She is completely distraught about the situation and has no culpability but is seeking an attorney to deal with calls like this."Minneapolis Police Chief Brian OHara said dozens of interviews have been conducted with the shooters relatives, friends and associates, as well as those who witnessed the carnage unfold at Annunciation Catholic Church.GRIEVING FATHER CALLS MINNEAPOLIS SHOOTER A 'COWARD' WHO TOOK LIFE OF HIS 8-YEAR-OLD SON FLETCHER DURING MASS"I know we have not been successful in talking to the shooters mother, yet, at this time," O'Hara said during a news conference Thursday. "But there continue to be efforts made to get that done."Court documents show the shooters mother applied for her son to legally change his name, writing in 2019, "minor identifies as female and wants her name to reflect the identification."It is not clear why the shooters mother is not cooperating with investigators.When asked by a reporter on Thursday if investigators had been in touch with the shooters father, OHara initially said he could not confirm that.But the chief briefly had a side conversation with Drew Evans, the superintendent of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, who said his investigators had been in touch with the father.KAROLINE LEAVITT CALLS PSAKI'S PRAYER COMMENTS 'UTTERLY DISRESPECTFUL' AFTER MINNEAPOLIS SCHOOL SHOOTINGStill, investigators have not yet said whether the shooter, identified as 23-year-old Robin Westman, lived with his mother or father, noting that there are three addresses associated with the individual."I cant verify right now which residence he was staying at, immediately prior to the shooting, but thats obviously something that will come with the investigation as it continues," OHara said.The chief noted that the shooter attended Mass at the church while attending the school attached to the place of worship."The shooters mother was an employee of the parish previously, for some time," OHara said. "So, obviously there is a connection between the shooter and this particular parish."VANCE BLASTS PSAKI FOR POST DECLARING PRAYER 'IS NOT FREAKING ENOUGH' IN RESPONSE TO MINNESOTA SHOOTINGAt around 8:30 a.m., the suspect fired dozens of rounds into the church, shattering stained-glass and pew-side windows as terrified students and parishioners ducked for cover.Authorities have not yet released a motive, though they have uncovered a manifesto the shooter had timed to be released on YouTube. The video has since been taken down and is under investigation.The manifesto, police added, appeared to show Westman at the scene and included disturbing writings.FBI Director Kash Patel said Thursday the agencys investigation into the "barbaric" attack suggests the attack was an act of domestic terrorism "motivated by a hate-filled ideology."He noted that the manifesto and writings on firearms displayed anti-Catholic and anti-religious references.Specifically, the shooter expressed hatred and violence toward Jewish people and wrote things like "Israel must fall," "Free Palestine" and used explicit language related to the Holocaust, Patel said.

Former President Barack Obama warned of "dangerous trends" emerging from the Trump administration, saying its policies "put the liberties of all Americans at risk."On X, Obama cited an interview with Ezra Klein of The New York Times and a journalist on "The Ezra Klein Show," during which they discussed President Donald Trump's threat to send National Guard troops into New York and Chicago, the former president's hometown."This interview, which is also available as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends weve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions," Obama wrote on X.CHICAGO RESTAURANT OWNER SLAMS CITY LEADERSHIP OVER CRIME: 'WE WANT LAW AND ORDER'"The erosion of basic principles like due process and the expanding use of our military on domestic soil put the liberties of all Americans at risk and should concern Democrats and Republicans alike," he added.Trump has suggested launching a federal crackdown to combat crime in Chicago, similar to what is happening in Washington, D.C."Governor Pritzker had 6 murders in Chicago this weekend," Trump wrote Thursday on Truth Social, referring to Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. "Twenty people were shot. But he doesnt want to ask me for help. Can this be possible? The people are desperate for me to STOP THE CRIME, something the Democrats arent capable of doing. STAY TUNED!!! President DJT."ILLINOIS DEMOCRAT LEADERS BLAST TRUMP PUSH TO SEND NATIONAL GUARD TO CHICAGOThreats to send in the National Guard to help combat crime in blue cities have elicited outrage from Democrats.Earlier in the week, Trump criticized Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson over the citys crime rate. The governor has said he will resist any federal intervention."I say, 'Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. You are neither wanted here nor needed here,"' Pritzker told reporters this week.Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House.

Vice President JD Vance criticized California Gov. Gavin Newsoms recent attempts to imitate President Donald Trump in a sit-down with Fox News host Will Cain, arguing Newsom cant mimic the "king.""You cant mimic the master; you ought to just go and be yourself. And I think the people would like that a lot more than a cheap imitation of the president of the United States," Vance said.These comments followed a series of X posts from Newsoms press office in August that went viral. The posts appeared to copy Trumps social media writing style, using all caps, nicknaming political opponents and signing off with his initials.TRUMP-TROLLING GAVIN NEWSOM SUGGESTS COIN IS COMING TO ONLINE STORE: TRUMP CORRUPTION COINOne post said, "WOW! TOMORROW HISTORY WILL BE MADE. KaroLYIN LEAVITT WILL HAVE NO ANSWERS FOR THE SUPPOSED "FAKE MEDIA" ABOUT CALIFORNIAS BEAUTIFUL MAPS.

ALL BECAUSE YOU "MISSED THE DEADLINE." LIBERATION DAY FOR AMERICA!!! GCN"Cain pointed out Newsoms strategy may be resonating with some blue voters, saying, "His polling numbers have gone way up since he started mimicking President Trump on social media."A Morning Consult survey reports that Newsoms support among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents jumped 8 points from June to the end of August.Vance, however, suggested the former San Francisco mayors inauthenticity is not what voters want."When I see Gavin Newsom trying to act like Donald Trump, thats the opposite of authenticity. Hes not trying to be Gavin Newsom whoever that is. Hes trying to be a fake carbon copy of Donald Trump," he said. "And it just doesnt work."NEWSOMS OFFICE CONTINUES TO MOCK TRUMP USING HIS SOCIAL MEDIA WRITING STYLE: TINY HANDSThe vice president also weighed in on New York City Democratic mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani, saying, "I dont know the guy, but my sense is hes had a very good life in this country. It would be nice to occasionally show a sense of gratitude instead of just attacking the United States or all its problems."The former Ohio senator contrasted those critiques with what he described as Trumps influence on the political world, urging Democrats to take note."The lesson of President Trump in American politics is youve got to be authentic to yourself," Vance advised.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"Democrats, the one thing they should learn from President Trump is to laugh at themselves a little bit," he added. "They don't have to be so serious. They don't have to get offended at everything. Sometimes, it's actually a good thing to have a sense of humor about our political process."Reflecting on his late grandmother, affectionately dubbed "Mamaw," Vance said she would be deeply out of step with the state of todays Democratic Party."I think Mamaw would say this is crazy. I think she would say the modern Democratic Party doesnt represent her at all," he said.Will Cain's full interview with Vice President JD Vance will be available on "Will Cain Country" on YouTube Friday.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones sat in front of reporters Thursday addressing the stunning Micah Parsons trade to the Green Bay Packers.The main question on everyones mind was why make the trade?"This gives us a chance to be a better team than weve had the last several years," Jones said with his son, CEO and director of player personnel Stephen Jones, sitting to his right.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"We did think it was in the best interest of our organization, not only the future, but right now in this season as well."Its hard for Cowboys fans to fathom the deal was made to benefit the teams win total in 2025 and the future, but Jones offered some specifics to the contrary, starting with the acquisition of Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark as part of the deal."Weve gained a Pro Bowl player in an area that we had big concerns in in the inside of our defense," Jones said."The facts are we need to stop the run. We havent been able to stop the run for several years."COWBOYS OWNER BLAMES MICAH PARSONS AGENT FOR STALLED CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS: TOLD US TO STICK IT UP OUR A--Jones added trade talks for Parsons went on throughout the spring, though he said he offered Parsons a deal in April. He has previously said he offered Parsons the highest contract for a non-quarterback in NFL history, and he doubled down Thursday night that he offered him more guaranteed money than the reported $136 million he got in the four-year, $188 million Packers extension he received after being traded."I will say this: It was important that we did get, if we could get it, the kind of interest that we got in making a trade for Micah," Jones said. "He was an asset we got four good years out of. But when youre talking about making the contract that he got and for the future, thats quite a commitment. None of that counts about what he did the first four years. It goes against what he can do for you in the future."The Cowboys also received the Packers 2026 and 2027 first-round picks, which Jones said he wouldnt rule out trading for another established player."Not only do we immediately get a player, but those draft picks could get us Im talking top Pro Bowl-type players could. Im not necessarily going to say youll get those players. You gotta draft them or acquire them," Jones explained."But they could get us as few as three or as many as five outstanding players. Now, not only do they contribute to a game that needs a lot of players on the field, but they also give you better odds that a high percentage of those are going to be available."Jones said that it was a consensus decision, both in the front office and by the coaching staff, to make the trade with the Packers. He added that it was still up in the air Thursday morning, as Clark went to Packers practice as usual.Jones was also asked about an NFL Network report that said Parsons returned to the Cowboys out of "empathy" when the trade interest was leaked earlier this week. Parsons claims he was told by the team to "play on the 5th year or leave.""It was not in any way out of the order or anything like that," Jones replied when asked about that report. "I think Ive read where they said I replied, Were playing under the contract as it exists right now. Get ready to play Philadelphia. Correct, that was correct."With the trade finalized, the Cowboys are looking toward their future while also being of the belief they can win right now, starting with Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles."I want to be sure that our fans understand I think a lot of Micah, and I wish him so much success," Jones said. "I dont want him to have success when he plays the Cowboys as much as I do want him to have overall success. Micah Parsons did an outstanding job for us for four years."Theres no question that I could have signed him in April. We all know that, to have agreements, all parties have to agree. This was by design. I did make Micah an offer. It wasnt acceptable, and I honored the fact that it wasnt done in the way he wanted to do it through an agent."So, he was made an offer. Theres not an ounce of vindictiveness. Theres no bad feelings on my part on the fact that we didnt come together on an agreement."Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
