    Chicago mayor calls Trump's federalization threats 'beneath the honor of our nation,' protests planned
    Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson on Saturday shot back at President Donald Trump's potential plans to temporarily federalize the city, calling on citizens to "protect Chicago from Donald Trump."Johnson was responding to one of Trump's Truth Social posts, which said he "loves the smell of deportations in the morning" and "Chicago about to find out why it's called the Department of WAR."A photo accompanying Trump's post showed him photoshopped into the city with fire and military helicopters overtaking the iconic Chicago skyline.TRUMP ESCALATES FIGHT WITH PRITZKER AS BLOODY CHICAGO WEEKEND SPARKS TROOP WARNING"Chipocalypse Now" was also scribbled on the bottom left of the picture."The Presidents threats are beneath the honor of our nation, but the reality is that he wants to occupy our city and break our Constitution," Johnson wrote in a response on X. "We must defend our democracy from this authoritarianism by protecting each other and protecting Chicago from Donald Trump."The Coalition Against the Trump Agenda (CATA) and at least a dozen other organizations planned a rally for 5 p.m. Saturday in the Congress Plaza Garden, "in response to Trumps threats to send federal troops into Chicago despite no requests from local or state leaders.""Trumps threats are racist, and his claims that crime is out of control in Chicago are false," CATA organizers wrote in a statement. "It is just a pretext to continue his white supremacist plans to let ICE loose in our cities, and detain and deport as many immigrants as he can."WHITE HOUSE ACCUSES PRITZKER, ILLINOIS DEMS OF WHINING WHILE CHICAGO CRIME RAGESFrank Chapman, executive director of the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, added that violent crime in Chicago reached its lowest point since 2019."The people of Chicago know Trump is a racist and a liar, and have shown militant opposition to his policies, manifested most recently in the Workers Over Billionaires protest on Labor Day, when 10,000 Chicagoans cheered as Mayor Johnson shouted, No Federal Troops in the city of Chicago!" Chapman wrote in the statement.It is unclear why the organization decided to pick the 5 p.m. time frame, as opposed to a time when there is a larger time period of daylight.The coalition also posted an "emergency protest plan," noting that if federal troops are deployed before 3 p.m., they will march near Congress Plaza at 5 p.m. that same day.If federal troops are deployed after 3 p.m., organizers said protesters will march at 5 p.m. the next day, according to the coalition's website."Our Coalition is prepared to hit the streets as soon as federal troops are deployed in our city," the coalition wrote on its site. "We need the broadest unity possible to fight back against Trumps escalating attacks against working and oppressed people. THE PEOPLE, UNITED, WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED!"PRITZKER RAILS AGAINST 'UN-AMERICAN' POSSIBLE NATIONAL GUARD DEPLOYMENT BY TRUMPThe conflict comes after Trump shared there would be a federal surge in the city, similar to the action in Washington, D.C., which could include National Guard troops and immigration authorities.Democratic leaders, including Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, have aggressively pushed back on the idea.Chicago Alderman Raymond Lopez, a Democrat, told Fox News Channels "Fox Report" Sunday he thinks a federal surge would be "helpful.""Even though we see our statistics are trending in the right direction, who would argue against making them trend even further, even lower, meaning less victims on the street," Lopez said. "Its absolutely asinine to me hear my Democratic colleagues say that we dont want more help."CATA did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.Fox News Digital's Cameron Arcand contributed to this report.

    Nazi officer's daughter charged after stolen WWII painting spotted in real estate listing
    Argentine prosecutors have charged the daughter of a fugitive Nazi officer with attempting to hide an 18th-century Italian painting that was looted during World War II and had not been seen publicly in 80 years.The charges came a day after Patricia Kadgien, the 59-year-old daughter of Nazi officer Friedrich Kadgien who allegedly stole it from a leading European art dealer during World War II, handed 'Portrait of a Lady' over to authorities. The painting by Italian artist Giuseppe Ghislandi likely dates back to around 1710, with a value of around $50,000, the Associated Press reported, citing one art expert.ARTIST PULLS ART FROM SMITHSONIAN GALLERY AFTER MUSEUM TRIES TO ALTER HER TRANS STATUE OF LIBERTY PAINTINGThe heir of the painting's original owner, Dutch-Jewish art collector Jacques Goudstikke, who died in a shipwreck while fleeing Amsterdam during the war, has reportedly filed a legal claim to reclaim the artwork. Goudstikke's descendants have made efforts to recover around 1,100 paintings that have been missing since he was forced to sell his extensive art collection to Hermann Gring, Adolf Hitlers right-hand man, according to the Associated Press.Dutch journalists, while investigating Friedrich Kadgien's time spent in Argentina, discovered the painting in an online real estate listing that showed the artwork hanging in Patricia Kadgien's living room. Shortly after publishing a story about it in Dutch news outlet Algemeen Dagblad last week, the listing was removed, the Associated Press reported.MEDIEVAL KNIGHT'S TOMB DISCOVERED BENEATH FORMER ICE CREAM PARLOR IN POLAND: 'VERY RARE'Police promptly raided Patricia Kadgien's home in the city of Mar del Plata, as well as other properties linked to her and her sister Alicia. They did not find the painting, but seized a rifle and a revolver, as well as other engravings and paintings that are also believed to have been stolen during World War II, according to the Associated Press.Following the raids, Patricia Kadgien and her husband, Juan Carlos Cortegoso, 62, had been placed under house arrest. The couple handed the portrait over to authorities on Wednesday, and after the Thursday hearing, they were released from house arrest but prohibited from leaving the country and must inform the court of any departures from their address, according to AP.ARCHAEOLOGIST SOLVES 'JIGSAW PUZZLE' OF ANCIENT ROMAN FRAGMENTS HIDDEN FOR NEARLY TWO MILLENNIAIt is not yet clear where the painting will go next or how it came into the possession of Friedrich Kadgien, who died in 1978 in Argentina after fleeing the war, AP reported."Were doing this simply so that the community to whom we partly owe the discovery of the work ... can see these images," federal prosecutor Daniel Adler said in a press conference about the artwork.Earlier in the week, the defendants lawyer, Carlos Murias, asked a civil court to authorize the auction of the painting, but the request was denied, according to AP.Marei von Saher, the heir to Goudstikker, allegedly filed a legal claim to the painting through the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) office in New York, AP reported, citing Prosecutor Carlos Martnez.The FBI did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

    Kennedy Center's pro-faith shift reflects a 'new day in America,' conservative leaders say
    The Kennedy Centers new openness to showcasing pro-faith and pro-family stories is a sign of a Christian and conservative revival happening in America, conservative leaders said last week.Top conservative and Christian figures spoke to Fox News Digital at the world premiere of the Christian documentary "The Revival Generation" on Aug. 27. They said the film debuting at the Kennedy Center heralds a cultural reinvigoration of the U.S. that values families and people of faith."I think it's a new day in America," Dr. Ben Carson said during a red-carpet interview ahead of the films premiere.TRUMP FIRES KENNEDY CENTER BOARD MEMBERS CITING DRAG SHOWS, APPOINTS HIMSELF CHAIRMANPresident Donald Trump appointed himself as chairman of the Kennedy Center in February and fired some of the center's previous board members. At the time, he declared they did "not share our Vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture." He replaced them with 14 other members, including allies such as second lady Usha Vance and "God Bless the USA" singer Lee Greenwood.In a Truth Social post at the time, he also called out "woke" content hosted by the center prior to the shakeup.The president appointed his envoy for special missions, Ric Grenell, as head of the Kennedy Center as well. Ahead of the premiere of "The Revival Generation," Grenell shared a video message laying out his vision for the arts center under its new board. He declared that faith-based content will be featured at The Kennedy Center going forward."One important aspect of the arts is to bring faith-based and family-based programming that speaks to the human spirit, that reflects the enduring hope of the American story to this place," he said.CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY IN KENTUCKY DRAWS PILGRIMS NATIONWIDE AMID SPIRITUAL REVIVAL: 'GIVES ME SO MUCH HOPE'Carson and other conservative leaders, including Martin Luther King Jr.s niece, Dr. Alveda King, attended the screening of the film on Aug. 27."In every generation, every decade, every platform and genre, God does raise up a standard," King told Fox News Digital. "Now, the time right now for The Revival Generation at the Kennedy Center is just amazing. I came here many years ago to an opera, I think, and that was very memorable. But this one is topping it."Carson praised the centers new board for hosting the premiere."I think it's spectacular that they're open to something other than the leftist ideology. And the fact that in a place that generally doesn't celebrate Christianity, it's front and center," he said.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"The Revival Generation" is a new documentary on the major Christian revival movement of the past two years that has seen tens of thousands of U.S. college students experience spiritual awakening and baptism into the Christian faith.The filmproduced by the Christian Broadcasting Networkdocumented how this Christian revival started as a modest small group on Auburn Universitys campus. Hosted by Tonya Prewett, the modest campus Bible study morphed into a nationwide Christian revival.Prewett stated in the film how she wanted to help young female college students who were battling anxiety and depression. Soon, her sharing of the Gospel spread beyond the small group and caught the attention of thousands of students on campus.The film documents how the Auburn campus revival of 2023 spread to other major colleges nationwide, with Prewett and her team of Christian ministers preaching to and baptizing thousands of college students across the country.That such a powerful faith-based film premiered at The Kennedy Center represented a major cultural moment in America, according to the conservative VIPs on the red carpet. Many of them pointed to Trumps influence as the reason faith-based content was getting such a prominent feature there.Faith & Freedom Coalition founder Ralph Reed told Fox, "Oh, there's no question it's unprecedented, and the Kennedy Center is one of the most important cultural institutions in American society and in American life. And to have this film premiere here on that kind of platform, I think is a big deal.""I commend President Trump and Ambassador Rick Grenell for what they're doing to make sure that there are many faith-based performances here at the Kennedy Center," he added.

    DAVID MARCUS: The Department of War marks the end of America as the worlds policeman
    In 1947, the United States War Department became the Department of Defense, as our nation was entering what would be four decades of Cold War with the Soviet Union, and taking its place as a global superpower.On Friday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order bringing the original name back to the department created by George Washington in 1789. It brings with it a change that would have earned the hearty approval of our first president.TRUMP SIGNS ORDER RENAMING PENTAGON BACK TO DEPARTMENT OF WARIn the 78 years in which the United States has had a "Department of Defense," we never declared war a single time, but that didnt stop thousands upon thousands of American soldiers from sacrificing their lives in Korea, Vietnam, and later, the Middle East.During this time, the United States widely became known as the worlds policeman. Without actually declaring wars, we played a violent game of Twister across the globe, our Defense Department dipping its toes into conflicts across continents.Too often, the role of our soldiers was not to kill the enemy, but to maintain order, and just as a police force is restrained from using total force against criminals, our military was too often simply not allowed to bring its full force to bear.There is a fundamental and important difference between war and policing. Wars can be won, policing cannot. Policing is a never-ending struggle, and that is exactly what Americas military interventions felt like under the reign of the Department of Defense."I want offense too," Trump has quipped about the name change. But what he really means is that he wants wars we can win, not endless nation-building boondoggles meant to maintain balance in a world full of conflagrations from Ukraine to Gaza.Secretary of War, as he is now known, Pete Hegseth has made clear his priority is lethality, not just being a stick for diplomats to use. He wants an army, not a police force.It wasCarl von Clausewitz, the early 19th Century father of modern war, who defined military victory as compelling the enemy to do your will by destroying their desire and means to resist. That is something our military has not done in some time.But that may be changing.It was no accident that this cabinet-level name change occurred in the wake of the Trump administration blowing an alleged speedboat full of drugs and drug smugglers from Venezuela to smithereens.Under the old rubric, that boat might have been stopped, its crew given Miranda rights. In other words, it would have been policed.But does this mere police work actually work, per Clausewitz, to destroy the Venezuelan gangs and governments will and means to flood our country with deadly drugs? It does not, it just maintains the status quo from the border to the graveyard.But now, the next guys in line to jump aboard a drug-laden boat headed for Florida arent looking at possible jail time, in facilities all but run by their gangs. No, they are looking at a quick exit to eternity under the sea.Likewise, Trumps direct attack on Irans nuclear facilities sent a new message to the Ayatollah that if he goes too far, we will destroy him and his nation.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThe Department of Defense, may it rest in peace, was a noble idea. It was launched in the spirit of ending war, not winning wars. It was meant to prop up democracies around the planet until all nations found the right and just path of freedom and capitalism.It may have been worth a shot, but it just didnt work, and that is why the Trump administration is returning to the original premise, that armies dont exist to protect and serve the world, they exist to kill our enemies.Not long after President Washington established the War Department, he would give a farewell address in which warned against engaging in foreign entanglements, and yet under the name Department of Defense, our military seemed to do little else.President Trump is sending the message that the United States will no longer be defending itself through proportional half measures and never-ending peace missions. No, from here on out, the Department of War does not exist to contain or constrain our enemies, it exists, as it should, to destroy them.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM DAVID MARCUS

    Ohio HS faces federal civil rights lawsuit over hazing, sexual assault allegations from former football player
    AnOhio high school is facing a federal civil rights lawsuit after one former student on the football team made several disturbing allegations, including that he was subjected to hazing and sexual assault while attending a football camp in June, according to court documents.The complaint, filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, named Ursuline High School in Youngstown as a defendant in the case. Several school officials and football coaches, the Catholic Diocese of Youngstown and several unnamed players and parents were also listed as defendants in the lawsuit.According to a press release from The Chandra Law Firm, which is representing the mother of the football player and her daughter, the lawsuit claims that the plaintiffs son was "violently assaulted" during a nine-day football camp that traveled throughFlorida, Tennessee and Alabama in June.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe boy, who was not identified in the lawsuit but was described as a freshman on the team, claimed that he was sexually assaulted on the first night of the trip by one player. Another player was accused of filming the assault and uploading it to the teams group Snapchat. The allegedhazing and bullying continued in the days after the initial alleged assault and on the fourth day of camp, the plaintiff alleged that he was assaulted again when he was restrained by several players and stripped until he was completely exposed.The alleged assault was again filmed and shared with the same group on Snapchat.The lawsuit named other alleged acts of hazing and bullying, both against the plaintiff and other players. The complaint also alleged that school officials failed in their response to the plaintiffs complaints and that coaches were aware of the threats of bullying during the camp but did not take meaningful action.The mother first raised the allegations to an assistant coach on June 16 during the camp and claimed that the coach allegedly dismissed the assault allegations, stating "just boys being boys," according to the complaint. She also met with school officials after her son returned home and claimed they were "showing no regret, remorse, or compassion" at the start of the meeting.The complaint also accused the school of failing to "perform an investigation or take meaningful disciplinary action against the players or coaches" even after being presented with evidence, according to the law firm representing the plaintiffs.NEW YORK HIGH SCHOOL LACROSSE HAZING 'COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC': DAThe mothers daughter was also subjected to "intimidation," and the family allegedly faced retaliation after coming forward with the complaints, according to the complaint.In addition to hazing and assault, the lawsuit also alleged severalTitle IX violations and said the defendants committed several other offenses including false imprisonment, stalking, child pornography, and distributing lewd and obscene materials."This case is about accountability. No family should have to endure the trauma this family suffered at the hands of other students and then at the hands of school officials who, the suit alleges, made excuses, ignored, and even tried to cover up what happened," the plaintiffs lead attorney Subodh Chandra said in a press release."We would welcome hearing from people with information about the lawsuit's allegationsand also from other victims."Ursuline High School and the Catholic Diocese of Youngstown were contacted for comment. In response, a spokesperson told Fox News Digital that a police investigation into the allegations was ongoing, and that both school and diocese representatives have cooperated with that investigation."The safety and well-being of our students is Ursuline High School's top priority. Ursuline parents can and should feel confident that their sons and daughters are in a safe environment every day. To that end, we want to highlight the steps we've taken in regard to the allegations about the football program."The statement continued, "After the students and coaches returned from the trip in question, one family made a formal report to the school alleging misconduct. Once informed, Ursuline's administration timely opened an investigation. Immediately thereafter, Diocesan representatives and local authorities were notified of the allegations. Both Ursuline and the Diocese of Youngstown continue to cooperate fully with the authorities investigation, which is ongoing. Both out of concern for the identity of minors and at the request of the police, Ursuline has not discussed the allegations in public."The school noted that disciplinary actions against some of the students "most directly involved were imposed under Ursuline policies." Some students left the school "before discipline could be imposed."Increased chaperon presence and mandatory training reviews were put in place as a result of the allegations, the school added. The football teams game on Friday was also canceled following news of the civil case.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    Woke protesters triggered by Israel get their way in European cycling race
    A cycling team has made the mid-event decision to strip part of their team name from their uniforms after protesters gave them a heck of a time.That word? Israel.The Israel-Premier Tech cycling team has been competing in La Vuelta a Espaa, which is essentially Spain's version of the Tour de France.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMHowever, the team has been a target of lunatic pro-Palestine protesters who have taken issue with the team's name, even though the team has no formal ties to the Israeli government.According to The Independent, the Israel part of their name stems from the fact that the team's Israeli-Canadian billionaire, Sylvan Adams, is an ardent supporter of the country and its actions in Gaza following the October 7 terrorist attacks.Of course, in the eyes of protesters many of whom I'd be willing to bet aren't even 100 percent sure what they're protesting or even why that's enough to put the team in the cross-hairs.BRETT FAVRE CALLS NFL THE 'LEAGUE OF DIVISIVENESS' OVER SOCIAL JUSTICE MESSAGING DISPLAYED ON FIELDSSo, the team has decided to remove "Israel" from its uniforms. The logo based on the Star of David remains, but has been moved.This isn't the first time the team has done something like this. Last season, it removed the word "Israel" from team vehicles because they were targeted by protesters.On one hand, I get that the number one priority has to be the safety of riders and team personnel. But by caving to the demands of these unhinged lunatics that can't even bear to see a word they don't like on a cycling jersey, they win.Hopefully, this will draw attention to the pure insanity of these protesters, but it also makes you wonder why race organizers weren't cracking down on them more. Don't they have a responsibility to make sure riders and team personnel are safe from whiners who get triggered by the name of a country?Just flat-out ridiculous.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
