What if stopping life-threatening bleeding could be as simple as injecting a gel? That's the promise of TRAUMAGEL, a groundbreaking, plant-based bleeding control gel now being used by first responders across the country, including a metro Atlanta fire department that recently used it to save one of their own.Developed by Cresilon CEO and co-founder Joe Landolina, TRAUMAGEL works in seconds tocontrolbleeding from gunshot wounds and other traumatic injuries. It's supplied in a compact 30-ml syringe and can be quickly applied in the field before a patient bleeds out, a risk responsible for more than 35% of all prehospital deaths.STANFORD RESEARCHERS DEVELOP GAME-CHANGING STROKE TREATMENT THAT DOUBLES EFFECTIVENESSSign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts, and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox. Plus, youll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide free when you join myCyberGuy.com/NewsletterThe story behind TRAUMAGEL starts with a teenager in a winery lab. Joe Landolina, now CEO of Cresilon, developed the technology when he was just 17."My grandfather was a retired chemist who owned a vineyard in upstate New York," Landolina explains. "I would work alongside him in his winery laboratory every single day after school from a very young age. During that time, I developed a strong love for chemistry, especially plant-based chemistries from ingredients found in nature around me."That love turned into research."At the age of 17, I was experimenting with polymers extracted from the cell walls of algae and discovered a matrix that would instantly bond to living tissue," he said.He took the idea to New York University's business plan competition, and Cresilon was born. The company now operates out of a 55,000-square-foot biomanufacturing facility in Brooklyn with nearly 100 employees.TRAUMAGEL is already changing how medics respond in high-pressure trauma situations."TRAUMAGEL has impacted how we respond to traumatic injuries in any situation," says Lt. David Kleiman of Cobb County Fire & Emergency Services. "In the past, with junctional injuries, like the neck, armpit, or groin, we were using traditional methods like digital pressure or wound packing. That required multiple crews and took time."With TRAUMAGEL, we can administer a hemostatic agent that controls bleeding in seconds," he continues."Crews can move on to quicker assessments and treatments and get the patient to definitive care faster."MAN'S DEADLY BRAIN CANCER TUMOR DISAPPEARS AFTER EXPERIMENTAL DRUG TRIALIn one recent case, a Cobb County firefighter was injured during a response at an abandoned house. He tripped on a hill, cut his hand on broken glass, and attempted to stop the bleeding himself. But it didn't work."He eventually realized he couldn't control the bleeding and made his way back to the engine," Kleiman recalls."The crew noted that he was pale and sweaty and that his turnout gear was saturated in blood. Traditional methods failed, so they administered TRAUMAGEL. It instantly stopped the bleeding."The firefighter was then treated for blood loss and fully recovered after surgery.Cresilon's bleeding control gel is being tested in even more demanding environments."In addition to getting TRAUMAGEL into the hands of all first responders across the country," Landolina says, "our proprietary technology is being studied for broader applications by the U.S. Defense Department's Walter Reed Army Institute of Research."That study is focused on penetrating traumatic brain injuries (TBI). "Preliminary findings demonstrated promising results in the ability of our technology to control bleeding and provide neuroprotection following a TBI," he says. The team plans to pursue further research based on those results.Severe bleeding is the number one cause of preventable death from trauma. With TRAUMAGEL, emergency teams can control that bleeding quickly, even before a patient reaches the hospital. This tool isn't just for battlefield medicine or professional EMS. In the future, you could see it in hospitals, dental offices, and even home first-aid kits. TRAUMAGEL may become a new standard in emergency bleeding control, and that means faster care, better outcomes, and more lives saved.Think your devices and data are truly protected?

President Donald Trump should avoid dining at Washington, D.C., restaurants to prevent a "political maelstrom" of controversy, a local D.C. magazine warned Thursday.Washingtonian food editor Jessica Sidman reported that Trump suggested Wednesday he might dine at a D.C. restaurant to demonstarte how safe the nations capital has become following his crime crackdown."I think its something we could consider doing. Love to do it. I love the White House food, but after a while, I could see going to a nice restaurant. Its safe," Trump told reporters."The problem?" Sidman wrote. "Pretty much any D.C. restaurant that the president might visit would immediately find itself in a losing situation."D.C. RESTAURANT SERVER FIRED AFTER COMMENTS ABOUT REFUSING SERVICE TO SOME TRUMP OFFICIALSShe argued that "since the political temperature is now hotter than a pizza oven," a restaurant could face boycotts or threatsregardless of whether Trump was welcomed or turned away by the owners."In deep-blue DC, there is no shortage of restaurateurs who privately (and not-so-privately!) would not want to host Trump. Turning the President away, however, would ignite a firestorm of online hate, irate phone calls, Yelp-bombing, and death threats," she wrote, citing the backlash against Virginias Red Hen restaurant after its owner kicked out then-White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders in 2018.Sidman added, "Trump, though, isnt likely to go somewhere hed be turned away, especially given the advance work required by Secret Service. And most restaurants would serve him because thats just what restaurants do. Still, they would undoubtedly face boycott threats from locals and an onslaught of online and real-life rage."DC RESTAURANT GROUPS BLAST DEMS' 'BASELESS' BOYCOTT THREAT REPORTEDLY BACKED BY AOC, SANDERSShe pointed to the backlash against D.C. pizzeria Menomale Pizza after its owner congratulated Trump on winning a second term in 2024 as an example.Martins Tavern owner Billy Martin, whose Georgetown restaurant has hosted presidents since the Truman administration, told the Washingtonian he was cautious about a Trump visit. Though Martin described "working the backchannels" to try and secure a visit from President Joe Biden, he was less enthusiastic about a Trump dinner."Were not actively seeking him to come," Martin said. "It is very precarious in the political state that our countrys in. Its not easy. I dont need him dining and leaving, and then people coming by later throwing rocks through the window going, You hosted the president! Or people just barraging our social media going, Youre a s---y place.'"However, Martin added that Trump would not be turned away if he came and that his restaurant has served Trump administration officials such as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Attorney General Pam Bondi, and FBI Director Kash Patel.TRUMP CALLS OUT EUROPE FOR FUNDING PUTIN'S WAR AND FAILING TO PRESSURE CHINAFox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPIn December, Sidman reported on Washington bartenders and other food servers vowing to either shun certain Trump officials or employ other small acts of resistance if they visited their establishments.

EXCLUSIVE: Hours before Rep. Ashley Hinson of Iowa kicks off a statewide campaign swing as she runs to succeed retiring GOP Sen. Joni Ernst, she landed the backing of the top Senate Republican."We need conservative fighters in the Senate and that's exactly what we'll get with Ashley Hinson,"Senate Majority Leader John Thune wrote early Friday as he endorsed Hinson.And Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), which is the campaign arm of the Senate GOP, wrote, "Having traveled Iowa with Ashley, I know she is the fighter the Hawkeye State needs to deliver President Trump's agenda in 2026 and beyond,"as he and the NRSC backed her.On the eve of the endorsements and Hinson's campaign event in West Des Moines, where she was born and raised, she highlighted in an exclusive Fox News Digital interview that she's "proud to stand" with President Donald Trump.HINSON LAUNCHES SENATE BID IN RACE TO SUCCEED IOWA'S ERNST"We have a common sense approach in Iowa, and I don't want to see Iowa look like California. I think we need to see the country look more like Iowa," she said."Iowa does things right," she added.Iowa was once a top battleground state that former President Barack Obama carried in his 2008 and 2012 White House victories. But the state has shifted to the right in recent election cycles with Trump carrying the state by nine points in 2016, eight points in 2020, and by 13 points last November.Republicans currently hold both of the state's Senate seats Ernst and longtime Sen. Chuck Grassley and all four of Iowa's congressional districts, as well as all statewide offices except for state auditor.And while Democrats in Iowa are energized after flipping two GOP-held state Senate seats in special elections so far this year, Hinson sees her support for the president as a plus as she runs for the Senate.TRUMP NOT ON BALLOT BUT FRONT-AND-CENTER IN 2025 ELECTIONS"When I look at what message we're out selling, it's what exactly they voted for in the last election. Iowans overwhelmingly sent President Trump to the White House,"Hinson noted.Hinson, who highlighted that she won her own House re-election by 15 points last November, said "we're executing on what I heard on the campaign trail, which was that they wanted lower taxes.""So what did we do? We delivered," as she pointed to the sweeping GOP domestic policy bill that the president signed into law on July 4, which extends the 2017 tax cuts and includes no tax on tips and overtime for many workers.Hinson said she is looking "forward to the campaign and showing Iowans again why conservative, solid leadership, being a strong ally of President Trump, and making sure we're going to continue to deliver on those promises, so he has a full four years to do that."The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) took aim at Hinson after she declared her candidacy.DSCC communications director Maeve Coyle argued that Hinson "has repeatedly voted to raise costs and make life harder for Iowans by voting to slash Medicaid, cheering on the chaotic tariffs that threaten Iowas economy, voting against measures to lower the cost of insulin, and threatening Social Security. In 2026, Iowans will reject Republicans efforts to rip away health care and spike costs for hardworking families.""I think they're misinformed at best," Hinson said in response.FOUR KEY SENATE SEATS THE GOP AIMS TO FLIP IN NEXT YEAR'S MIDTERM ELECTIONSAnd she charged that "when I hear the lies and the fearmongering coming out of the left, it's to only cover up for the fact that they have no message and no real leader other than Bernie and AOC and now Mamdani in New York," as she referred to Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani."If that's the direction they want to take our country, I think Iowans are going to reject that wholeheartedly," she predicted.Hinson also highlighted that she's "been out doing public town halls. I just finished my 46th and 47th public town hall in the district, and talking about what 47 [Trump] is doing to make our country better, cleaning up the mess of 46[former President Joe Biden]."During some of her town hall meetings in Iowa this spring and summer, Hinson grabbed national attention as she faced disruptions, including jeers, boos, and heated questions from constituents. The backlash was directed at her support for the GOP's tax and spend bill, which Trump at the time called his One Big Beautiful Bill."I think that it is really important to be transparent and accessible, and I will go out and defend our agenda anytime, anywhere, and talk with Iowans," she said.But she lamented that "unfortunately, what we've seen is, like in my town halls last week, people just wanted to stand there, yell and have a camera in my face to try to get a viral clip. I don't think that's productive. That's why I answered their questions in a cool, calm and collected way, because I'm trying to change that by getting out and answering those questions."SENATE DEMOCRATS RECRUITING TOP CANDIDATES IN PUSH TO WIN BACK MAJORITYHinson doesn't have the GOP primary field to herself. Former state Sen. Jim Carlin and veteran Joshua Smith had already entered the primary ahead of Ernst's announcement.And five Democrats are already running for Senate in Iowa. Among them are state Rep. Josh Turek, a Paralympian wheelchair basketball player, state Sen. Zach Wahls, Knoxville Chamber of Commerce executive director Nathan Sage and Des Moines School Board Chair Jackie Norris.Ernst, who announced on Tuesday that she wouldn't seek a third six-year term when she's up for re-election in 2026, first grabbed national attention in 2014 with her "make 'em squeal" ads as she won the high-profile Senate election in Iowa in the race to succeed retiring longtime Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin."11 years ago,Iowans elected me as the first female combat veteran to the U.S. Senate, and they did so with a mission in mind to make Washington squeal. And Im proud to say we have delivered. Weve cut waste, fraud, and abuse across the federal government."Hinson told Fox News that "Sen. Ernst is my friend. I look up to her, and you know, her efforts in the Senate. I think every Iowan is proud, and Iowa is so much better as a result of her leadership."And looking ahead, she said "I absolutely would love to campaign side by side with with Joni."

The Defense Department confirmed on Thursday night that two Venezuelan aircraft flew near a U.S. Navy vessel in international waters. The incident, which the department called a "highly provocative move," comes as the Trump administration ramps up its anti-narco-terrorism efforts."Today, two Maduro regime military aircraft flew near a U.S. Navy vessel in international waters. This highly provocative move was designed to interfere with our counter narco-terror operations," the Defense Department wrote in a statement posted to X. "The cartel running Venezuela is strongly advised not to pursue any further effort to obstruct, deter or interfere with counter-narcotics and counter-terror operations carried out by the U.S. military."Venezuelas actions followed an unprecedented U.S. Marine strike Tuesday on a cartel-operated vessel. The Trump administration later said 11 members of the notorious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua a U.S.-designated terrorist organization were killed in the strike.TRUMPS STRIKE ON CARTEL VESSEL OFF VENEZUELA SENDS WARNING TO MADURO: NO SANCTUARYPrior to the strike on Tuesday, U.S. efforts to counter cartels and international gang organizations had taken place largely in the form of seizure and apprehension operations. The strike, however, appeared to signal that the Trump administration was shifting towards a tougher new approach.RUBIO SAYS TRUMP 'WANTS TO WAGE WAR' ON VENEZUELAN DRUG TRAFFICKERS: 'BLOW THEM UP IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES'On Thursday, during a visit to Ecuador, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that two gangs were being reclassified as foreign terrorist organizations. Rubio also slammed the Venezuelan leaderships involvement in the drug trade. He went on to condemn Nicols Maduro as an "indicted drug trafficker" and a "fugitive of American justice.""Maduro is indicted by a grand jury in the Southern District of New York. That means the Southern District of New York presented the evidence to a grand jury, and a grand jury indicted him. And then a superseding indictment came out that was unsealed about a year and a half ago that specifically detailed Maduro's actions," Rubio said on Thursday. "So, number one, let there be no doubt he, Nicols Maduro, is an indicted drug trafficker in the United States, and he's a fugitive of American justice."Rubio also seemed to indicate that the U.S. and its allies were working together on this tougher approach to cartels and international gang organizations. He said that "cooperative governments" would help the U.S. identify drug traffickers and "blow them up, if thats what it takes."Fox News Digital's Caitlin McFall contributed to this report.

Space will be "the tip of the spear" in Americas next conflict with China or Russia, and delays in building a secure headquarters for U.S. Space Command are putting the nation at risk, House Armed Services Chairman Mike Rogers told Fox News Digital.The Alabama Republican said the years-long fight over whether to base the command in Colorado or Alabama has cost the military precious time while adversaries expand their space arsenals. He argued Huntsville which topped two nationwide competitions offers a cheaper site and a more secure facility for the 1,700 personnel overseeing Americas space warfighting mission."We fight and win wars based on the communications and the capabilities that we have in space," Rogers said. "We dont want to be at a disadvantage when it comes to adversaries like China."Rogers praised Donald Trumps Tuesday move to designate Huntsville as the permanent headquarters, saying the decision aligned with the competitions and Pentagon reviews. He said Trump "went back to the fair objective results and took the politics out of it and our countrys national security is going to be better off because of it."TRUMP REFERENCES ALABAMAS STUNNING DEFEAT IN SPACE COMMAND ANNOUNCEMENT AS TUBERVILLE GLOATS ABOUT AUBURNRep. Dale Strong, R-Ala., who represents Huntsville, echoed that view and pointed to the selection process he watched up close. "Its a perfect match," Strong said."You look at it, 21 categories were evaluated," he said. Strong cited Redstone Arsenals secure footprint and local infrastructure and argued the process had been run twice and backed by watchdog reviews.Space Command was first established in 1985, folded into U.S. Strategic Command in 2002, and revived in 2019 as a separate command. It has operated temporarily from Colorado Springs while the Air Force evaluated permanent sites.According to Rogers, both the original competition and a second review ranked Huntsville first. He argued President Biden later kept Space Command in Colorado "for purely political reasons," over objections inside the Air Force. "The only political maneuver was made by President Biden who, arbitrarily over the objection of his Secretary of the Air Force, decided to leave it in Colorado Springs," Rogers said. "It was pure politics. Alabamas a red state, Colorado is a blue state."Strong said multiple Air Force secretaries recommended Huntsville and that "politics played a part" when the decision shifted. "When Joe Biden went and awarded it, and said, theyre doing it in Colorado I do think that politics played a part in it there," he said. "But again, its time to move forward. We're ready to go vertical."Colorado leaders have argued that moving the headquarters risks disrupting operations.Rogers argued that as it operates now, Space Command is not secure enough. "Four of the five buildings theyre in right now are off base and theyre in commercial space," he said. "This is classified work. It needs to be inside the fence in a SCIF."Strong added that the temporary headquarters in Colorado is "nine and a half miles from the military base with zero force protection it ought to be behind the wire."Space Command has operated out of Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs since its 2019 inception. Rep. Jeff Crank, R-Colo., previously told Fox News Digital that Space Command HQ, nestled into Cheyenne Mountain, is already "one of the most secure facilities" in the country. Being in the middle of the U.S., he added, makes it harder for enemies to attack."From the standpoint of survivability, having that as an asset right there as well, is really important."INSIDE NASA'S FAST-TRACK PLANS FOR LUNAR NUCLEAR POWER AND NEW SPACE STATIONS TO OUTPACE GLOBAL RIVALSLawmakers said the headquarters debate is about more than real estate. "The truth is as we get into future conflicts with major adversaries, space is going to be the tip of the spear," Rogers said.Strong put it bluntly: "Our next war will not be storming the beaches of Normandy. It will start in space. And weve got to neutralize those threats immediately when it happens."The command is responsible for military operations in space, including defending the nations satellites, and will play a major role in coordination for the Golden Dome missile defense project.Chinese and Russian advancements left the U.S. open to vulnerabilities in space. As adversaries advance offensive space weapons, satellites that power everything from GPS to global communications come under threat. Rogers argued the United States has closed gaps since 2019, when Trump stood up Space Force."We have very adequate defensive capabilities now," he said. "And we have offensive capabilities that we didnt have at the time. So that our adversaries know that if they were to disturb our space assets, we can wipe all theirs out, so dont."The Biden administration has said keeping the headquarters in Colorado avoided disruption as the command reached full capability, and Colorado officials Democrats and Republicans have argued the states existing aerospace ecosystem, proximity to NORAD, and workforce make it the logical location. Huntsville, however, is home to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and is a major hub for defense contractors.Gov. Jared Polis has called the move "deeply disappointing," and members of the states congressional delegation have warned a relocation could weaken readiness and unsettle military families.Strong said he respects his Colorado colleagues but believes the debate has dragged on long enough. "Huntsville was the rightful winner, and I will defend them to my last breath," he said.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPBoth lawmakers pointed to a Government Accountability Office report that found moving Space Command to Redstone would save $462 million.At the same time, a Pentagon inspector general report confirmed that while the Air Force favored Huntsville based on cost, SPACECOM leadership warned that moving would involve readiness risksnot least because it could take up to four years to establish a secure facility in Alabama and numerous civilian staff could walk off the job.Rogers and Strong argue Huntsville offers savings and deep bench strength. Strong pointed to Redstones "45,000 acres, behind the wire," and to Huntsvilles talent pipeline. "Were sitting here with the highest number of PhDs and engineers anywhere in the country," he said. "You look at the University of Alabama in Huntsville 80% of the graduates never leave that community because of the quality of life we have.""The cost to construct is more economical in Alabama, the cost to maintain is more economical in Alabama," added Strong.

Morewild animals are getting infected with rabies, which poses a public health threat, officials warn.Around75% of Americans are exposed to raccoons, skunks and foxes the very wildlife that commonly spread the fatal disease to humans, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.The latest report from the CDCsNational Rabies Surveillance System, which monitors rabies trends in the U.S., found that wildlife cases increased 5% in 2023 over the prior year.ORGAN TRANSPLANT RECIPIENT DIES OF RABIES AFTER SURGERY"Currently, the CDC Rabies Program is tracking 15 rabies outbreak events," Paul Prince, a CDC spokesperson, told Fox News Digital. "There are likely many more rabies outbreaks across the U.S., but these are managed at the local or state level."Nassau County in New York declared an imminent public health alert this summer afterconfirming 22 cases this year compared to just six last year a more than three-fold increase."These cases reflect a troubling resurgence of terrestrial rabies, which had been successfully eliminated from Nassau County after 2016 through coordinated intervention efforts," Alyssa Zohrabian, director of the Office of Communications of Nassau County Department of Health, told Fox News Digital.Rabies is avirus that is transmitted to humans by a bite or scratch from a rabid animal, according to the CDC.It can sometimes take weeks or months to reach a diagnosis, because the infection only causes symptoms after it travels to thebrain and spinal cord.SILENT KILLER PARASITIC DISEASE SPREADING ACROSS MULTIPLE US STATES, EXPERTS WARNSevere disease, however, often presents within two weeks of illness, causing confusion, agitation and hallucinations, the above source states.People may initially feel like they have the flu, complaining of a fever, headache or weakness. Another clue is pain or numbness at the site of the bite."Classic rabies" causes someone to feel very thirsty, while paradoxically feeling a sense of panic at the sight of fluids. Someone may also produce lots of saliva and exhibit aggressive behavior.Rabies is almost always fatal after symptoms but it is also nearly 100% preventable.After a rabies exposure, people should seek immediate preventative medical care, known as post-exposure prophylaxis, which involves thoroughly cleaning the wound and receiving a rabies vaccination.People can also receive neutralizing antibodies to fight the infection, experts advise."The CDC, at least in part, attributes this to human translocation of animals into areas where rabies had not been or was in very low incidence," Dr. Edward R. Rensimer, a specialist in infectious diseases with expertise in rabies prevention, told Fox News Digital."This has prompted an increase in some states in allocation of funds for rabies vaccine bait placement for wildlife," added Rensimer, who is also the director of the International Medicine Center in Houston, Texas.FLESH-EATING PARASITE CASE DETECTED IN US TRAVELER RETURNING FROM CENTRAL AMERICAThe Nassau County Department of Healthlaunched the first phase of its reinstituted oral rabies vaccine baiting program in fall 2024, with a second round in spring and a third planned for this fall."When there are cutbacks in animal control and prevention of rabies efforts, invariably that can lead to increased incidence of rabies in wild animals, with the tragic potential [for] cases in humans," Aaron Glatt, chief of infectious diseases at Mount Sinai South Nassau Hospital on Long Island, New York, told Fox News Digital."Fortunately, there are only a handful ofhuman rabies cases reported annually, and there is an effective vaccine that can be given to patients after an at-risk animal bite."Six people have died from rabies in the U.S. over the last year, with two of those deaths in 2025, the CDC spokesperson told Fox News Digital."Recent cases likely do not indicate a national human rabies outbreak, but a reminder that rabies is still a public health threat in the U.S. and abroad," he added. More than 90% of reported cases of rabies in animals are from wild animals most frequently bats, according to the CDC.Depending on where they live, Americans are also at risk of exposure to other wildlife."There are over 30 different rabies viruses in the U.S., all associated with wildlife," the CDC spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "Each of these viral variants has a unique animal species and geographic range, and can have its own specific outbreaks."Those who live in the eastern U.S. have some of the highest risks of being exposed to rabies from raccoons in the area.Skunks pose a high risk for rabies in theMidwest and Western U.S., and foxes present a danger for people who live in the Southwestern part of the country as well as Alaska, per the CDC.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERRabies in skunks increased in Kentucky in 2024 to 2025, and there were rabies outbreaks among foxes in Arizona and California in 2023, Rensimer added.Rabies is present in wildlife in all states except Hawaii, according to the CDC spokesperson.Only a small percentage of rabies cases in the U.S. affectdomestic animals, such as dogs and cats, according to experts but its not outside the realm of possibility."Pets that mostly stay inside a home may seem like they are at low risk to get rabies, but rabid wildlife can get into our homes and backyards even if we dont see them," the CDC spokesperson cautioned."Our pets are more likely than us to interact with wildlife, and they are often unable to tell us when theyve been exposed."A stray puppy and two stray cats tested positive for rabies in Philadelphiathis year,James Garrow,communications director for thePhiladelphia Department of Public Health, told Fox News Digital.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthIt is important to keep pets up to date on vaccinations both to protect their health and to prevent transmission to humans, experts agree.Nassau County Department of Health, in partnership with the Town of Oyster Bay, is offering free rabies vaccinations for dogs, cats and ferrets to all county residents on Saturday, Sept. 13."The best way to avoid rabies is to stay away from wildlife," Glatt reiterated.

Family matriarch Donna Adelson was scolded by a judge Thursday for weeping in the courtroom after being convicted of orchestrating a 2014 murder-for-hire plot of her former son-in-law, a prominent Florida State University law professor.Adelson was found guilty of first-degree murder, conspiracy and solicitation in the killing of Daniel Markel over a decade ago. Markel was gunned down in his driveway in Tallahassee in what prosecutors had called a cold-blooded family plot to free her daughter, Wendi Adelson, from a bitter custody battle following a messy divorce.Adelson shouted, "Oh my God!" before breaking down in tears and shaking when Florida Second Judicial Circuit Judge Stephen Everettannounced the jury had convicted her of first-degree murder, according to courtroom video from the Tallahassee Democrat."Mrs. Adelson, control yourself," Everett ordered the 75-year-old grandmother as she openly wept.GRANDMOTHER ACCUSED OF MASTERMINDING FAMILY MURDER-FOR-HIRE PLOT IN DENTIST'S KILLING OF PROFESSORThe judge then ordered the jury out of the courtroom and gave Adelson a two-minute break to collect herself."While this was not the outcome Im sure that you desire, there will not be any further outbursts in front of the jury," he told her.FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON XProsecutors had argued during the trial that Adelson and her son, Charlie Adelson, had arranged the murder so Wendi could gain full custody of their children and start a new life in South Florida.Donna Adelson was arrested at Miami International Airport in 2023, one week after her oral surgeon son was found guilty in the case.

The Lone Star State has officially outlawed lab-grown meat in its stores and restaurants.Gov. Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 261, which took effect Sept. 1, banning the sale of cell-cultured meat in Texas until Sept. 7, 2027.Many livestock industry leaders hailed the bill as a "massive win" for ranchers and producers.TEXAS HAS A BEEF WITH THE NAME OF 'NEW YORK STRIP' STEAKTexas Department of Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller touted the victory in a news release."Texans have a God-given right to know what's on their plate, and for millions of Texans, it better come from a pasture, not a lab," he said."It's plain cowboy logic that we must safeguard our real, authentic meat industry from synthetic alternatives."STEAK BEATS PASTA AS TEXAS ROADHOUSE BECOMES TOP CASUAL DINING DESTINATIONCultivated products are grown in steel tanks using cells from a living animal, a fertilized egg or a storage bank, according to The Associated Press.The cells are fed with special blends of water, sugar, fats and vitamins.

FIRST ON FOX: Ohio Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno is introducing legislation aimed at penalizing companies who outsource jobs and operations overseas while at the same time providing financial support to avenues that create American jobs.The bill, introduced on Friday and known as the "Halting International Relocation of Employment Act" or "HIRE Act", creates a 25% tax on "outsourcing payments" which are defined as any money paid by a U.S. company or taxpayer to a foreign person whose work benefits U.S. consumers.The bill also includes anti-abuse language to prevent tax avoidance via U.S. territories and requires U.S. firms to fully disclose all outsourcing payments and contracts. Companies will also be prohibited from deducting any outsourcing payments.Money raised by the penalty on spending on overseas workers will be used to support apprenticeship programs in the United States as well as workforce development programs.OHIO SENATOR INTRODUCES 'HOLLY'S ACT' FOR WOMAN BRUTALLY BEATEN IN VIRAL CINCINNATI ATTACKAdditionally, the legislation, if passed through Republican-controlled Congress and signed by the Republican president, would prohibit companies from treating outsourcing payments as base erosion payments when they calculate their Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax."While college grads in America struggle to find work, globalist politicians and C-Suite executives have spent decades shipping good-paying jobs overseas in pursuit of slave wages and immense profitsthose days are over," Moreno told Fox News Digital in a statement.US WILL BE 'FLOODED WITH JOBS' AS FOREIGN NATIONS AVOID TARIFFS, TRUMP SAYS"Its time to fight for working class Americans and ensure they can work and retire with dignity.
