WWW.FOXNEWS.COMBruce Willis wife explains tough decision she made to shield young daughters amid dementia battleEmma Heming Willis says whats best for her husband Bruce Willis care is not up for debate.Like many caregivers, the mother of two has been forced to make tough choices for her family in recent years. But none has been as difficult as the decision to move Willis, 70, into a separate home amid his battle with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) a move that sparked a debate on social media.The former model has written a new book,"The Unexpected Journey: Finding Strength, Hope, and Yourself on the Caregiving Path."Its centered on her personal experience as a caregiver for the star. It also serves as a roadmap for new caregivers and their families.BRUCE WILLIS' WIFE THOUGHT 'DIE HARD' ROLE WAS TO BLAME WHEN DEMENTIA SIGNS SURFACED"Sometimes [your loved ones] needs become more than you are equipped for," Heming Willis told Fox News Digital. "I think that if someone is not living in your home and doing what youre doing 24/7, they dont get a say on it. And if they are living with you, then they do get a say. But I dont think its up for debate, just because someones care plan looks different from someone elses.""I wanted to bring this to light because I just feel theres so much stigma around this conversation," said the 47-year-old. "You can imagine the judgment and the criticism, which I knew was going to land on my lap."WATCH: BRUCE WILLIS DIAGNOSED WITH FRONTOTEMPORAL DEMENTIAIn 2022, Willis family announced he had been diagnosed with aphasia, a condition that causes loss of the ability to understand or express speech. The "Die Hard" star stepped back from acting that year following his diagnosis.Nearly a year later, his family revealed Willis had a more specific diagnosis of FTD.The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration describes FTD as a group of brain disorders caused by degeneration of the frontal and/or temporal lobes of the brain that affect behavior, language and movement, according toThe Associated Press. Aphasia can be a symptom of it.The association describes frontotemporal degeneration as "an inevitable decline in functioning," with an average life expectancy of seven to 13 years after the onset of symptoms. The progressive disease is terminal and theres no cure.As the disease progressed, Heming Willis realized the actor needed more support while she cared for their daughters, Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11."It was one of the hardest decisions I needed to make, but I knew it was the right one the safest and best for our family, for Bruces safety and for the safety of our girls," she explained. "It was important that, as his needs were changing, we needed something different that supported his needs. Our girls also needed a home that supported their needs."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"I think what happens with caregiving is that people dont understand that your loved ones needs are not being met 100% of the time," she said. "Now, I have comfort in knowing that Bruce is being supported 100% of the time. Theres no better feeling than that."Willis one-story house is nearby and designed for his treatment and safety, People magazine reported. It offers a "quiet, comfortable and safe environment with round-the-clock care." It also allows his daughters to be their "high-spirited kid selves" with their mother. The progression of FTD requires Willis to be in a "calm and serene environment," Heming Willis said.Their daughters keep clothes, toys and art supplies at Willis home, allowing them to spend as much quality time as possible with their dad."If Im receiving judgment for purchasing a second home to make sure that my husband is cared for properly, then what does it look like for other care partners who have to put their loved ones in a facility," Heming Willis pointed out."Can you imagine the criticism and the judgment they face? I wanted other caregivers to know that youre not alone and everyones caregiving journey is different. And whats most important is that we are supporting other caregivers. We are showing up for them. We are not criticizing or judging them.""Were already hard on ourselves," she reflected. "We already carry the shame and the guilt. We dont need the extra. We just need to be supported."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSHeming Willis shared that her daughters have been doing "a beautiful job" in supporting their father."Ive been so fortunate to be able to put the right support in place for them and for myself," said Heming Willis. "I wanted to know how best to show up for them and talk them through what they might be experiencing or seeing. I just want to help navigate them through this. And I think their relationship with their father is a beautiful one. Theyve seen this disease progress over time, and we just continue to show up for Bruce and be there for him."WATCH: RUMER WILLIS GIVES UPDATE ON DAD BRUCE WILLIS HEALTHOver the years, Heming Willis has sought guidance from doctors and experts to better understand FTD, its progression and what caregivers can do to give loved ones the best quality of life. She has been sharing her findings and conversations on social media.It hasnt gotten easier with time."I am constantly grieving," Heming Willis admitted. "This is with me at all times. But you can grieve and also still live a full life. That doesnt make you any less of a caregiver because you are choosing to also live. And I try to live a full life because I know that Bruce would want that for me and our family."I believe its so important for caregivers to find someone they trust who they can speak to, where they would not be met with judgment. They can just talk through their feelings. I always tell my girls better out than in. Its better to get your feelings out than to bottle them in."The disease forced Heming Willis to confront a devastating truth. In her book, she wrote that after learning dementia "results in death," she felt "the ground had been pulled out from under me." Still, educating herself about FTD and its harsh truths has empowered her to be a better caregiver."I think it has really helped me to get out of denial," she told Fox News Digital. "That isnt going to help my situation. I ask the questions, and I know Im not going to sometimes like the answers, but its important for me to understand. I just want to continue to support Bruce and our family and myself with the right information.""We left our diagnosis appointment with no guidance, no roadmap nothing," she said. "I, over the last few years have found these incredible experts and specialists. But I had to dig so deep for that. Its not readily available unless you have the time, the energy, the access and resources."What I realized with these experts is that they were giving me such valuable information. I realized that I wanted to put everything together all the insight, all their wisdom and share it with the next caregiver."Heming Willis hopes her book will help other caregivers who are feeling lost."Theyre not alone," she said. "Its OK to care for yourself. And if you dont try to take care of yourself, its going to be very hard to continue to sustain this journey. When we ask for help, we are not a failure. Were not failing our person."0 Reacties 0 aandelen 32 Views 0 voorbeeld

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMJerry Seinfeld slams 'Free Palestine' movement, comparing it to historical hate groupComedian Jerry Seinfeld compared the "Free Palestine" movement to the Ku Klux Klan during a surprise appearance Tuesday at Duke University, saying both groups "dont like Jews."The "Seinfeld" creator attended a campus event for Omer Shem Tov, an Israeli hostage abducted by Hamas during the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attacks and held captive for 505 days. Seinfeld gave a brief introduction to Shem Tov before ridiculing anti-Israel activists, joking that at least the KKK was "honest" about their hatred for Jews."Free Palestine is, to me, just youre free to say you dont like Jews. Just say you dont like Jews," Seinfeld said.DUKE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WALK OUT ON JERRY SEINFELDS COMMENCEMENT SPEECH, CHANT 'FREE PALESTINE'"By saying Free Palestine, youre not admitting what you really think," he continued. "So its actually compared to the Ku Klux Klan, Im actually thinking the Klan is actually a little better here because they can come right out and say, We dont like Blacks, we dont like Jews. Okay thats honest."In a statement to Fox News Digital, a Duke University spokesperson said the school did not endorse Seinfelds comments, as is the case for all outside speakers."Universities are places where diverse perspectives on difficult and sensitive subjects are explored in a safe and respectful environment. Duke does not preview nor approve the remarks of outside speakers, and their presence on campus should not be understood as an endorsement of their views," the spokesperson said.JERRY SEINFELD'S WIFE APPLAUDS DUKE CROWD WHO DROWNED OUT ANTI-ISRAEL PROTESTERS DURING COMMENCEMENT SPEECHThey continued, "Jerry Seinfeld was the surprise guest at the student-led event and introduced the program. At his request, his appearance was not announced in advance so the focus could remain on Omer Shem Tovs spiritual journey during captivity. Several other Duke organizations co-sponsored the event by providing logistical support, as they do for many student-led programs."Fox News Digital also reached out to a representative for Seinfeld but did not immediately receive a response.Seinfeld gave Duke Universitys 2024 commencement address, where several anti-Israel students disrupted the ceremony by chanting "Free Palestine" or walking out after his introduction. The protesters were largely drowned out by the crowd chanting "Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!"DUKE GRADS RALLY BEHIND JERRY SEINFELD AFTER ANTI-ISRAEL AGITATORS DISRUPT COMMENCEMENT SPEECHCLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPA vocal Israel supporter, Seinfeld has faced anti-Israel hecklers during his comedy shows for backing the country in its war against Hamas.0 Reacties 0 aandelen 12 Views 0 voorbeeld

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMYouth leaders mourn 'the Godfather of campus conservatism' Charlie Kirk following assassinationThe horrific assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on Wednesday stunned the world, and especially the youth conservative movement that he helped propel into the national spotlight.Three young conservatives reflected on Kirk's political legacy during an appearance on "Fox & Friends," Thursday, the morning after the stunning display of violence took place at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.GOP Youth Advisory Co-Chair CJ Pearson emphasized the gravity of losing Kirk's voice in the right-wing community, explaining how, at a young age, Kirk helped him find his own as a political activist.FOX NEWS PERSONALITIES OFFER EMOTIONAL TRIBUTES TO CHARLIE KIRK: 'HE LOVED AMERICA SO MUCH'"For me, I lost a friend, but my heart hurts even more for our country," Pearson said. "This is a guy who, when I was just 12 years old, I was a nobody on social media. I had a couple of viral videos under my belt, but he reached out and said, Hey, let me guide you. Let me mentor you, come to our conferences, because he was so dedicated to uplifting the next generation of conservative leaders in this country. And I think that will be his legacy."Campus Reform correspondent Emily Sturge sounded the alarm about the safety concerns of expressing views like Kirk's at a university, describing being a conservative on a college campus as "putting a target on your back.""Charlie Kirk was not in the business of politics," Sturge said. "He was in the business of building relationships, friendships, marriages, families he did that. Just within the last eight months of this administration, we've seen Gen Z's revival in conservatism, in patriotism, and faith and family values. Charlie Kirk witnessed it he fought the good fight, and then the Lord called him home."ANTI-TRUMP VOICES PRAISE CHARLIE KIRK'S LEGACY AFTER ASSASSINATION, SAY HE WAS DOING POLITICS 'THE RIGHT WAY'Gen Z commentator Chandler Crump noted how "very distraught" young conservatives are after Kirk's death, but also proclaimed that Kirk would be forever known as the "Godfather of campus conservatism.""He ushered in a new wave of young people who were willing to speak about their beliefs without fear of retribution on their college campus," Crump said. "I truly believe we would not have the second presidential administration of Donald Trump without Charlie Kirk, and many others have this same point of view."CHARLIE KIRK WAS PROUD CHAMPION OF CHRISTIANITY ON CAMPUSES NATIONWIDE: 'I'M NOTHING WITHOUT JESUS'Kirk was at the Utah Valley University campus Wednesday for the first event of "The American Comeback Tour," which planned to travel across the country to different universities through the end of October. He was shot when speaking from his "Prove Me Wrong" table and was rushed to the hospital shortly after the shooting, where he was declared dead."This is someone who realized that the future of this country was in the conservative youth," Pearson said. "And that if we were to actually take back the country, if we're gonna make America great again, it was gonna be and start with America's young people.""But I think it's a charge now for so many of us in the young conservative movement to continue his work, to fight harder, because they want to instill fear within us. We have to keep fighting."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP0 Reacties 0 aandelen 12 Views 0 voorbeeld

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMBoston University College Republicans call for security, accountability after Charlie Kirk assassinationAfter the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk at a Utah campus event on Wednesday, conservative students at Boston University (BU) are calling on university leaders to protect them from violence or intimidation.BU College Republicans Vice President Philip Wohltorf, who also works as a legislative aide in the Massachusetts State Senate, told Fox News Digital that Kirks death has left conservative students shaken."Universities are supposed to be marketplaces of ideas. If speakers or conservatives now have to worry about being shot or facing violence, then this marketplace closes," Wohltorf said.The group sent a letter Thursday to BU President Melissa Gilliam asking the university to hold accountable students promoting violence in the wake of the tragedy and provide "appropriate security" for upcoming College Republican events. The letter also accused the university of fostering a culture where conservative students felt intimidated to share their views.BOSTON UNIVERSITY STAFF MEMBER MADE SOCIAL MEDIA POST SAYING DOGE EMPLOYEES ARE WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE"At BU, conservative students have long been marginalized, silenced by fear of social intimidation, academic penalty or hostility," the students wrote. "Rather than fostering intellectual diversity, the university has allowed a single ideological perspective to dominate, leaving students of differing opinions isolated."Wohltorf said he was dismayed to see comments from some students on social media forums like Reddit and Yik Yak celebrating Kirks death, calling the posts "disgusting.""We may disagree with one another, but at the end of the day, we should talk rather than shooting people or committing violent acts," he said.The club, which recently began publicizing its meeting times, now fears openness could make it a target."We want to make sure this stays a safe space for our members," Wohltorf said, adding that some students have already asked for security at their next meeting.CHARLIE KIRK PAINTED AS 'CONTROVERSIAL,' 'PROVOCATIVE' IN MEDIAS ASSASSINATION COVERAGEDespite the fear, Wohltorf said the group feels compelled to carry on Kirks legacy of free speech and debate. In the past 24 hours, he said several new students have signed up for the College Republicans mailing list and pledged to attend their next meeting.Wohltorf said his university reflects a broader "diversity of thought problem" in higher education. He pointed to a 2023 survey from the Harvard Crimson that found just under 3% of Harvard professors in the Arts and Sciences departments identified as conservative, while more than 75% identified as liberal. In the 2025 annual survey, the number of faculty who identified as conservative rose to 9%.He said colleges should commit to hiring more conservative professors and encourage open dialogue between students of different views.Attempts to spark that debate on campus have been met with silence, according to Wohltorf, who said he has repeatedly reached out to left-leaning student groups about hosting a debate but has been ignored.FLASHBACK: CHARLIE KIRK WARNED OF LEFT-WING ASSASSINATION CULTURE MONTHS BEFORE HIS MURDERKirk was known for welcoming debate and challenging liberal orthodoxy on college campuses. He had just kicked off Turning Point USAs "The America Comeback Tour" at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, on Sept. 10 when he was fatally shot by a gunman.Wohltorf said Kirk left a legacy for conservative students to follow."We feel obligated to continue Charlie Kirks mission and legacy because he stood for free speech, the First Amendment, and challenging one another on campus through debates and ideas," Wohltorf said.A spokesperson said Gilliam plans on addressing the letter and pointed to BU's policy welcoming all students to express their political beliefs and have healthy dialogue."We work hard to foster civil discourse among the BU community. As you may know, weve had world leaders, controversial speakers, etc., at BU many times over the years, and we take all necessary steps to ensure the safety and security of our guests and the BU community. Well continue to do so with the assistance and coordination with appropriate local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. We condemn violence and our hearts go out to the Kirk family, his friends and supporters, and to every American," the spokesperson added in a statement to Fox News Digital.0 Reacties 0 aandelen 31 Views 0 voorbeeld

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMFBI running 'same playbook' as Boston Marathon bombing in Kirk killer manhunt, retired agent explainsPresident Donald Trump on Friday said that a suspect in the Charlie Kirk assassination had been captured, ending a tense two-day manhunt after the FBI had circulated video and images of the suspect but withheld his name.Jason Pack, a retired FBI supervisory special agent, told Fox News Digital that the strategy was intentional designed to protect both the investigation and public safety and it mirrored the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing probe.Pack said withholding the suspects identity can help generate stronger public tips by focusing attention on confirmed images rather than unverified names."You need biometrics, records and independent confirmation before you hang a name on a suspect. That protects the public and the case," Pack said. "Same playbook we used in Boston. Show the public what you are certain about to trigger quality tips and hold what is not yet courtroom-ready."ARREST MADE IN CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION AT UTAH UNIVERSITY EVENTPack said withholding a name is crucial until investigators have a positive ID that meets a prosecutable threshold and until all notification steps are handled.The FBI also withheld names during the Boston Marathon bombing investigation, when the Tsarnaev brothers were first known through images, and in the 2020 Nashville Christmas Day bombing, when DNA testing was used to confirm the suspect's identity before authorities made an announcement."In Nashville, we had the persons ID and suspected who he was a couple of days before," Pack said. "But we wanted to make sure through DNA and forensic testing that it was the person and not someone whose wallet had been stolen. So we had to wait for confirmation at least initially."Authorities said Kirks killer wore Converse sneakers, which drew widespread attention in surveillance footage.COMPLETE COVERAGE OF CHARLIE KIRK"Footwear alone does not define tradecraft," Pack said. "Some offenders choose non-tactical shoes to blend on sidewalks, move quietly, or to misdirect. It could be comfort, availability, or deliberate disguise. Investigators will weigh gait, wear patterns and outsole marks against any scene impressions, not just the brand."A $100,000 reward for information on the killer was announced as law enforcement sought the publics help.Pack explained that reward figures are not set according to a rigid formula they are adjusted depending on the level of threat to the community, the urgency of the case and the funding available from law enforcement and partner agencies.In this case, with a gunman at large after a high-profile political assassination, officials opted for a high figure up front to generate leads quickly, he said."There was a lot of pressure on law enforcement," Pack said. "They wanted to get it right."0 Reacties 0 aandelen 4 Views 0 voorbeeld
