EXCLUSIVE It's been nearly two decades since former Sen. John E. Sununu's name has been on the ballot, but if the New Hampshire Republican decides to launch a 2026 campaign for the swing state's open Senate seat, he's confident he can win."I'm sure that if we put together a strong team, this is a race that can be won. This is a race I know I can win. And more importantly, it's a role where I know I can make a difference for New Hampshire," Sununu said in his strongest comments to date, in an exclusive national interview with Fox News Digital.The former senator, who reiterated he'll "make a decision in October" on whether to launch a Senate campaign in the expected competitive race to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, said "it's a winnable race for the right person who reflects our state's values, not the values of Washington."And despite calling President Donald Trump a "loser" in a newspaper opinion piece early last year, Sununu may land the president's support if he runs.THUNE SPEAKS WITH SUNUNU ABOUT SENATE BID TO FLIP BLUE SEAT RED"President Trump appreciates winners and understands that John E. Sununu puts this race on the map for Republicans," a national Republican familiar with the Senate race in New Hampshire told Fox News Digital.Sununu is a former three-term representative who defeated then-Gov. Shaheen in New Hampshire's 2002 Senate election. But the senator lost to Shaheen in their 2008 rematch.RISING REPUBLICAN STAR ASHLEY HINSON LAUNCHES SENATE BID TO SUCCEED IOWA'S ERNSTShaheen announced earlier this year that she wouldn't seek re-election in next year's midterms, and Republicans are hoping to flip the seat as they aim to not only defend but expand their Senate majority. Four-term Rep. Chris Pappas is the clear frontrunner for the Democratic nomination.After nearly two decades in the private sector, Sununu sounds like someone ready to hit the campaign trail."This is an incredibly important race. It's an incredibly important time for the country and I feel it might be the right time to step up," Sununu told Fox News Digital.He said that "over the last few weeks, people in New Hampshire have reached out. They've encouraged me to run for Senate, because they know how important it is that New Hampshire has the right kind of voice in Washington, someone who will stand up for our state, someone who won't just be a rubber stamp for anyone else, but will represent New Hampshire every single day."But it's not just New Hampshire voters who may be encouraging Sununu to run.Top national Republicans, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune, have held conversations with the former senator regarding a 2026 Senate campaign, a source told Fox News Digital two weeks ago.TRUMP NOT ON BALLOT BUT FRONT-AND-CENTER IN 2025 ELECTIONSAlso speaking with Sununu was former Sen. Cory Gardner, chair of the Senate Leadership Fund, which is the top super PAC supporting Senate Republicans. The source added that Thune and Gardner were cautiously optimistic that Sununu would launch a campaign.Sununu is a brand name in New Hampshire politics. The former senator's father, John H. Sununu, is a former governor who later served as chief of staff in then-President George H.W. Bush's White House. And one of his younger brothers is former Gov. Chris Sununu, who won election and re-election to four two-year terms steering the Granite State.But the Republican Party has dramatically changed since the former senator last ran for office 17 years ago. The GOP, under the firm control of President Donald Trump and his America First agenda and MAGA movement, has been transformed from a business-orientated platform into a more populist party.Asked if there's still room for an old-school fiscal conservative in Trump's GOP, Sununu said, "good decision-making, good leadership, never goes out of style. Standing up for your state, standing up for your neighbors and your friends, and the things that make New Hampshire strong never goes out of style. Being an effective voice never goes out of style."FOUR KEY SENATE SEATS THE GOP AIMS TO FLIP IN NEXT YEAR'S MIDTERM ELECTIONSBut some of Sununu's past criticisms of Trump could come back to hurt him if he joins a Republican primary that already includes former Sen. Scott Brown and state Sen. Dan Innis, who are both showcasing their support for the president.Sununu, along with then-Gov. Chris Sununu, endorsed former ambassador and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley in the 2024 New Hampshire Republican presidential primary, as she battled Trump for the nomination.And on the eve of the first-in-the-nation presidential primary, the former senator wrote an opinion piece titled "Donald Trump is a loser," that ran in the New Hampshire Union Leader, the state's largest daily newspaper."@JohnSununuwas the original 'Never Trumper,'" Brown charged in a social media post this month. "He's going to have to explain that."Brown endorsed Trump ahead of his 2016 New Hampshire primary victory, which launched him toward the GOP presidential nomination and ultimately the White House. Brown later served as U.S. ambassador to New Zealand during Trump's first term.And Innis claims that he's the most pro-Trump candidate in the race.Asked if he could win a Republican primary race that could turn into a Trump loyalty test, Sununu said "the real question is, can you be effective? Can you work with other members of Congress? Can you work with this White House? Can you provide the kind of leadership it takes to get things done? And I know I can do that.""If there's a primary, I've seen them before. I've been through them before," he added. "I'm very comfortable with where we are today, and over the next few weeks, I'll continue to get people's perspective, put together a good team, make sure we have a winning message and make a decision in October."Trump, whose endorsement in Republican primaries is extremely influential, has remained neutral to date.And the president may be willing to overlook Sununu's past jabs.Earlier this year, when Chris Sununu flirted with a Senate bid after leaving office, Trump urged him to run.The younger Sununu, who was Haley's top supporter and surrogate in New Hampshire, repeatedly criticized Trump during the 2024 Republican presidential primaries.Trump told reporters in April that he had met with the former governor in the Oval Office and that he'd "support him fully.""Hes been very nice to me over the last year or so," Trump added. "I hope he runs. I think hell win that seat."The national Republican strategist, who asked to remain anonymous to speak more freely, said that "aside from his famous last name, Sununu is a serious candidate with the ability to fundraise and appeal to New Hampshires unique politics. All other candidates announced or considering will have a very difficult time against Chris Pappas next November."Asked about trying to earn Trump's support, Sununu said, "I'd certainly love to have support from across the spectrum, that includes the president."But he added that "at the end of the day, this is about building support in New Hampshire, providing the right leadership for New Hampshire and the right message for New Hampshire."

Living a healthy lifestyle has been proven to promote longevity, but experts are taking it seven steps further.Longevity experts David Cravit and Larry Wolf, co-founders of the web magazine and newsletter SuperAgingNews.com, recently published "The SuperAging Workbook" a follow-up to their 2023 book, "SuperAging: Getting Older Without Getting Old."In the book, the authors map out the "7 As of super-aging" for optimal health and longevity.FITNESS EXPERT REVEALS 6 PILLARS OF STRENGTH TRAINING THAT OLDER ADULTS SHOULD MASTERIn an interview with Fox News Digital, Cravit and Wolf talked about the art of "getting older without getting old.""I may be 65, but I could have 30 more years to go here," said Canada-based Cravit. "I can do new stuff. I can create new things. I can grow. I can learn. I can fulfill.""There are 101,000 Americans over the age of 100 If I have a positive attitude, I can literally aspire to live to 100, and that's who the super-agers are."TWO KEY HEART HEALTH METRICS COULD DETERMINE HOW LONG YOU'LL LIVEBelow are the seven As of super-aging that are shared in the book.Having a positive attitude is the No. 1 aspect of super-aging, according to the authors."It's good to have a good attitude. It's kind of a generic belief," Cravit said. "But now, they've researched this right down to the cellular level. It's not just a generically good thing. It affects your health and longevity.""People with a positive attitude outlive people with a negative attitude because it reduces stress, which, in turn, reduces inflammation, and inflammation is the cause of most age-related diseases."Cravit encourages seniors to actively improve their attitude and work on thinking positively.There is constantly new research emerging on how to live a longer life, which is why awareness is key for longevity, according to the experts.This includes new studies on the benefits of reducing the amount of time spent sitting or changing an aspect of your diet.Staying aware of the latest findings and "proactively going after them" will allow for proper lifestyle changes to be made, Cravit suggested.In addition to proper nutrition, staying active with daily exercise is a proven way to extend lifespan.WHAT PEOPLE WHO LIVE TO 100 YEARS OLD HAVE IN COMMON, ACCORDING TO SCIENCEA focus on flexibility, strength, breathing, balance and overall movement is a "critical" part of health, according to Wolf."Just get up a few times a day, do five minutes of exercise, move around, do a few squats, do anything for five minutes," he suggested. "It will have an enormous positive impact on your well-being."Mental activity is another critical variable, as its important to "constantly exercise" the brain to keep it young and sharp, he said."You need to do new things and work on difficult things to maintain your intellectual acuity," added Wolf, who is currently in his 80s.STUDY REVEALS WHY SUPER AGERS MAINTAIN OUTSTANDING MEMORY INTO THEIR 80S"I've taken up Tai Chi swordsmanship, which is a lot of fun it really stretches me cognitively in a new way."After retirement, its crucial to continue setting and striving for new goals, whether it pertains to your previous profession or not."You need goals," Wolf said. "Whether it's volunteering, going back to school, learning something new or a side hustle you need purpose. You need to do something and be focused on it and enjoy it."Attachments to important people in your life partners, family and friends will also continue to keep you young."I'm lucky enough to have been married to the same wonderful lady for almost 60 years," Wolf said.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER"Cultivating contact with people you love, with people you like, expanding your social network, are all very critical."Maintaining autonomy can help ensure physical and financial independence as people age, the experts state in the book. Doing things for yourself can help you live longer and offer a greater sense of control over your life."If you're going to live longer, youve got to be able to finance it," Wolf said. "You need to manage your money so that it lasts, and you can maintain what you need monetarily to live and thrive well."Seniors can face many obstacles as they age, including ageism and online scammers, the authors cautioned.Wolf encourages seniors to be aware of where information is coming from online and "whos offering you what.""The internet is rampant with bad people trying to scam in some fairly inventive ways," he said.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthThe most "critical component" of super-aging is living a fulfilling life, Wolf added."Have the right attitude, make yourself aware of critical things that are going on, keep moving, eat right, cultivate your social network and do things that you're interested in," he advised."It's simple, basic, everyday stuff that you can do, that virtually anyone can do. And it will grant a longer, healthier, and much more fulfilling life Life is great, and it can continue to be great if you simply approach it in the right way."

The Trump administration announced on Thursday what officials called a "historic" crackdown on the nations troubled organ procurement system, pledging stronger oversight, accountability and patient safety reforms."Every American should feel safe becoming an organ donor and giving the gift of life," HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said during a press conference."Yet decades of ignored patient safety concerns have driven more and more Americans off the donor list. Today, under President Trumps leadership, we are taking bold action and historic action to restore trust in the organ procurement process."ORGAN DONORS' LIVES ENDANGERED BY RUSHED TRANSPLANT PROCEDURES, INVESTIGATION FINDSFor the first time in U.S. history, the Department of Health and Human Services is moving to decertify an organ procurement organization (OPO) mid-cycle. (OPOs are typically only assessed during a scheduled review period.)"The Life Alliance Organ Recovery Agency based in Miami, Florida, has a long record of deficiencies directly tied to patient harm," Kennedy said. "Staffing shortfalls alone may have caused as many as eight missed organ recoveries each week. Roughly one life lost each day."Kennedy shared the story of his nephew Michael, who had cerebral palsy and died at age 20. His organs went on to save multiple lives.PATIENT DIES FROM RABIES AFTER ORGAN TRANSPLANT FROM INFECTED DONORThe secretary urged Americans to think ahead, claiming that organ donation is something "all of us need to think about.""Its an extraordinary gift and will give meaning to our lives. No matter how different we are on the outside were all the same inside, and we can give the gift of life to each other."Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, underscored the significance of the decision, calling organ donation "the gift of love.""This is the first time ever in history theres been a mid-cycle de-certification of an organ procurement organization," he said at the conference.ALCOHOL-RELATED LIVER TRANSPLANTS ON THE RISE AMONG YOUNG ADULTS, DOCTOR SAYSOz also noted that there are 100,000 people currently waiting for organs in America."While Im speaking, another person will be added to that list. During this press conference, someone waiting for an organ is going to die," he said.He noted that 28,000 donated organs go unmatched and discarded each year, and that every missed donation is a lost opportunity to save a life.Dr. Marty Makary, commissioner of food and drugs at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, called the waste of organs "a tragedy.""For too long, weve seen conflicts of interest gaming of the system, inefficiencies Today is the first time ever that we have seen an action initiated against an organ procurement organization," Makary said.Thomas J. Engels, administrator of the Health Resources and Services Administration, said modernization is already underway, claiming the organization has opened a "direct reporting channel for misconduct and safety concerns."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERThere will also be new investments into the programs, including $25 million to support living donors by covering nonmedical costs like lost wages, travel and childcare.Experts also pointed to the future of transplant science, citing recent moves to green-light the first clinical trials for xenotransplantation (animal-to-human transplants). They also discussed how 3D printing of organs may one day be viable.Oz said the new reforms send a tough message to other organ procurement organizations."Theres a new sheriff in town, and were coming for them if they dont take care of the American people."MORE IN HEALTH NEWSThe Life Alliance Organ Recovery Agency in Miami, Florida, posted the statement below on its website in response to the HHS announcement."We are aware of the decision issued today by the Department of Health and Human Services and of the agencys investigations into organ procurement practices across the country. We will cooperate fully with HHS to ensure a smooth transition and will not appeal. We hope that other OPOs follow suit in putting patients first. Our focus remains on protecting the dignity of donors, supporting their families and advancing the life-saving mission of organ transplantation."

Behind the tiaras and trumpets of a royal state visit, there are sometimes eyebrow-raising moments being served.In July, Buckingham Palace announced that President Trump and his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, would pay a state visit to the U.K. from Sept. 1719. King Charles III hosted the couple at Windsor Castle.Trump is the first U.S. president to be invited for two state visits by a British monarch. The late Queen Elizabeth II hosted the U.S. president in 2019 during his first administration.KATE MIDDLETON AND MELANIA TRUMP TEAM UP FOR FIRST-EVER JOINT OUTING DURING HISTORIC STATE VISITWhile the festivities provided plenty of pomp and pageantry, royal experts told Fox News Digital that no gathering could ever rival the late monarchs unforgettable encounter with a controversial guest.According to the royal familys website, foreign monarchs, presidents or prime ministers are invited to visit the monarch on the advice of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Usually, on the evening of the first day, visitors are hosted at a state banquet. Around 150 guests are typically invited based on cultural, diplomatic or economic ties to the visiting country.While unexpected gaffes are rare during such highly formal events, they do happen."One of the most calamitous state visits involved Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceauescu and his wife, Elena, in 1978," royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told Fox News Digital. "They were obsessed with being bugged inside Buckingham Palace and only felt safe in the gardens. When Queen Elizabeth II saw them, she reportedly hid behind a bush to avoid speaking with them.""She thought they were ghastly," he added.Royal author Robert Hardman previously described the visit in the ITV documentary "Queen: Inside the Crown.""On the occasion when they were staying, she took the corgis out for a walk in the palace gardens, and she could see [them] coming the other way," said Hardman, as quoted by People magazine.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"She thought, 'I really can't face talking to them,' so for the first and only time in her life, she actually hid in a bush in the palace gardens to avoid her guests."The outlet noted that, as with all state visits to the U.K., the decision to invite the communist dictator to Buckingham Palace was made by the British government."The press started to question the foreign secretary," said Hardman in the special, adding that the media asked, "Why are we inviting this monster to come to Britain?"WATCH: QUEEN ELIZABETH'S UNEXPECTED BOND WITH AN AMERICAN COWBOY REVEALEDIts unknown if Ceauescu spotted the queen hiding in the foliage. However, it was made crystal clear to the British government that the queen disapproved of the state event, the outlet reported."The queen puts up with many different people, but Ceauescu was too much for her," former British Foreign Secretary Lord David Owen said in the special. "She made it quite plain she didn't like that visit!"It wouldnt be the only time the late monarch was "extremely displeased" during a state visit, said Fitzwilliams."Zaire's President Mobutu Sese Sekos wife, Marie-Antoinette, smuggled her dog in her luggage during their state visit in 1973," Fitzwilliams said. "An angry queen ordered it removed, and her corgis quarantined."The president attempted to explain the mishap during a speech, arguing that the dog was of British heritage, the U.K.s Express reported."President Mobutu of Zaire was definitely a low point," said Hardman in the ITV documentary. "The queen was very unhappy about that."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSAccording to British royals expert Hilary Fordwich, one major faux pas reportedly occurred when an American president came to town."One of the worst gaffes was President Jimmy Carter kissing the Queen Mother right on her lips during the state dinner at Buckingham Palace," she claimed. "The Queen Mother later told her biographer, He is the only man, since my dear husband (King George VI, Queen Elizabeth IIs father) died, to have had the effrontery to kiss me on the lips."Despite the Queen Mothers recollection, the former president denied the claim."More than two years later, there were reports in the British papers that grossly distorted this event, stating that I had deeply embarrassed her with excessive familiarity," Carter wrote in his 2016 autobiography, as quoted by People magazine. "I was distressed by these reports but couldnt change what had happened nor did I regret it."For British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard, its the Obamas who stood out to her."When they were there in 2009, former first lady Michelle Obama put her arm around the late queen," she recalled. "Everyone always says you cant touch the queen or king. But actually, theyre not so starchy."In 2018, Obama described the candid moment in her memoir "Becoming," noting she and the queen were bonding over the painful shoes they were wearing that day."I then did whats instinctive to me any time I feel connected to a new person, which is to express my feelings outwardly," she wrote, as quoted by Harpers Bazaar. "I laid a hand affectionately across her shoulder."The queen, England's longest-reigning monarch, died in 2022 at age 96. But surprising moments have already made an appearance at state visits during King Charles's reign.French President Emmanuel Macron recently showed off his charming side during the state banquet at Windsor Castle in July of this year.The 47-year-old was spotted politely helping to pull out Kate Middletons chair and waited for her to sit before he took his own seat beside her. During a toast, cameras captured him winking at the Princess of Wales, which went viral on social media.For anyone lucky enough to receive an invitation, Chard has a key piece of advice to avoid a mishap."Queen Elizabeth traveled to so many countries on the royal yacht Britannia," she said. "And she would always receive strange gifts, like roasted pigs. Various animals were given. I think even a big crocodile. What do you do with things like that? I think sometimes they were thrown overboard, and the sharks used to eat them."

As inflation squeezes wallets, some diners are squeezing a little too much out of the condiment station a trend now dubbed "pocket-packing" and restaurants are feeling it.Guests who "pocket-pack" at restaurants or fast-food establishments help themselves to an excessive amount of items such as plastic utensils, straws, napkins and condiments, including sugar and ketchup packets.Victor Carvalho, owner of the original Dunkin' Donuts location in Massachusetts, recently told Boston television station WCVB he's seen people taking an abundance of items every day.RESTAURANTS MAY BE BANNED FROM HANDING OUT KETCHUP PACKETS, NAPKINS UNDER DELAWARE BILL"People will be people. Their habits don't change because of where they are," Carvalho told the station.While Carvalho said there's no set policy that limits the amount people can take, he said the business winds up paying for it.Carvalho said he once saw a woman take a Dunkin' sugar packet out of her purse, sharing that it was "for emergencies."A Maryland man who asked not to be identified told Fox News Digital he likes to grab extra napkins for his vehicle and has been known to load up on extra Chick-fil-A sauces.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERCalifornia-based etiquette expert Rosalinda Randall said most business owners want to believe their customers won't take advantage of them, though some do."A business owner must have faith in people to maintain a take-what-you-need policy faith that only a few will grab more than they need," Randall told Fox News Digital."As a customer and a member of a community, keep in mind that nothing is free, like the shopping cart. It is a courtesy provided by the business to make your experience a more pleasant one."Some people take it too far, Randall said. She cited examples of people filling a personal 16-ounce thermos with coffee creamer or taking an entire canister of stir sticks for a child's school project.MORE FROM FOX NEWS LIFESTYLEShe said businesses could take steps to discourage pocket-packing by putting up signs saying, "Take what you need."The establishments could also hand out items, letting customers request more if needed.To those who take pocket-packing to the extreme, Randall said she would ask them, "How would you react if your guests walked out with a few rolls of toilet paper and a bottle of wine for later?"

Prosecutors are expected to rest their case Friday in the federal trial of Ryan Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club in September 2024.Routh, representing himself with standby counsel, is expected to begin presenting his own witnesses once the government completes closing arguments.On Thursday, jurors heard from Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Destructive Device Examiner Randy Walters, who testified that the gray storage box linked to Routh contained improvised firing mechanisms and parts designed to deliver a .50 caliber round.PROSECUTORS TO WRAP TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT CASE AS DEFENSE READIES WITNESSESWalters said the homemade components, including rat traps, were spray-painted green. He testified that seven partially assembled devices were inside a bag in the box, saying the repetition showed "someone definitely attempting or tinkering with new ideas." On cross-examination, Routh asked if the majority of the items were legal to own. Walters said they were not assembled, but that, "it is illegal for convicted felons to possess .50 caliber ammunition."Jurors also heard from FBI Special Agent Nicholas Schnelle, introduced as an expert in sniper tradecraft. Schnelle described Routh's alleged hideout found near the sixth hole of Trump International Golf Club as a "final firing point" with "multiple shooting lanes." He said the fence provided support for the rifle, which he compared to "loophole shooting in combat operations." He demonstrated the safety on the SKS rifle for the jury and said, "the gun is similar to an AK-47."GUN SELLER TELLS RYAN ROUTH: 'I HEARD OF YOU THREATENING PEOPLE' IN TENSE COURTROOM EXCHANGECross-examining Schnelle, Routh asked if the sniper hideout was well-concealed. Schnelle answered, "Yes, sir." Routh followed up, pointing to the red and blue bungee cords, and asked again. Schnelle replied, "Yes, sir.

After President Donald Trump announced that he was designating the leftist agitation group Antifa as a terrorist organization in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, one expert said the president has "powerful" tools at his disposal to dismantle the group.Michael Balboni is an attorney and former member of the New York State Assembly and Senate. During his time in office, he chaired the state senate's Homeland Security Committee, and was later appointed to the state's Domestic Terrorism Task Force under Governors Andrew Cuomo and Kathy Hochul.U.S. terrorism laws under the Immigration and Nationality Act only apply to foreign groups, so there is no federal statute for prosecuting domestic organizations as terrorists. Trump still has a tool available to combat Antifa, though, in the form of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).HOUSE FREEDOM CAUCUS CHAIR, OTHER REPUBLICANS BACK TRUMP IN DESIGNATING ANTIFA A TERROR ORGANIZATION"RICO doesn't relate only to one specific act and one specific time," Balboni told Fox News Digital. "It could be an analysis of an ongoing criminal enterprise."He explained that for a defendant to be convicted under the RICO Act, there must be an existence of an enterprise, a pattern of racketeering activity within the past decade, a demonstration that the threat of continued criminal behavior exists and that the defendant must be associated with or employed by the enterprise."Perhaps you could even use RICO or other statutes to try to do an enterprise-wide roll-up of these individuals, whether or not you need to designate them as a terrorist group," Balboni said, adding that it's a "very powerful tool."But, he warned, the Trump administration will have to be very careful not to impede upon the First Amendment rights of Americans who are peacefully protesting, versus far-left groups who commit violent acts like many across the country did in the wake of George Floyd's 2020 death or the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles earlier this year.TRUMP TO DESIGNATE ANTIFA A 'MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION'"It's a very fine line, but once somebody steps over the line and lights a building on fire, most people would assume, yes, that's a criminal act, that's arson, and regardless of your beef, of your argument, you're going to go to jail," said Balboni.Citing Trump's past record, Balboni thinks that the president has a high probability of success in using current laws to make a significant impact to combat Antifa's operations."So this is what President Trump has been able to do successfully," he said. "He's been able to take a concept and then kind of take the existing laws and wrap it around the concept."Balboni added that it's "hard to imagine a less sympathetic group than Antifa.""If you're advocating the overthrow of the United States, if you're advocating the use of violence to promote your agenda, if you're advocating civil disruption, I'm not sure who's going to stand up for you," he said.COMPLETE COVERAGE OF CHARLIE KIRK"But, you know what I think the president is trying to do is trying to point out, in his own words, these are agitators, professional agitators that are out there and are trying to cause disruptions, and they should be called out for what they are," Balboni said.In what would be a long-term fix to control domestic terrorism, Balboni noted that Congress could pass a law against terrorism that includes domestic enemies separately from the anti-terror law in the Immigration and Nationality Act. They could also amend the current law to include domestic terrorists.Trump announced Wednesday that he would designate Antifa as a "major terrorist organization," adding that he will be "strongly recommending" that those responsible for funding Antifa be investigated "with the highest legal standards and practices."Trump announced the designation a week after Charlie Kirk, a conservative titan and champion of open debate, was shot and killed on Sept. 10 at Utah Valley University during the first stop on his "American Comeback Tour."The suspect, Tyler Robinson, had been "radicalized" as he became more political and lurched to the left, according to his family members.

Billionaire left-wing donor George Soros contributed $10 million to California Gov. Gavin Newsom's ballot initiative to redistrict the state, the New York Times reported Friday.Soros, who has funded left-wing campaigns stretching from district attorneys to federal elections, contributed the single largest donation amount to Newsom's effort to redraw the state's congressional lines, according to the outlet, which cited two sources with direct knowledge.Soros is the founder of the Open Society Foundations, which is a massive $25 billion nonprofit. His son Alex succeeded him as chair of the board of directors of the Open Society Foundations in 2022.The donation has helped build Newsom's war chest for a redistricting effort to roughly $70 million, according to the Times. Newsom launched the redistricting effort, Proposition 50, early in 2025 to counter the Trump administration's promotion that Republicans in states such as Texas redistrict its own lines.OBAMA CALLS NEWSOM'S CALIFORNIA REDISTRICTING MOVE A 'RESPONSIBLE APPROACH' TO GOP TACTICS"We are talking about emergency measures to respond to whats happening in Texas, and we will nullify what happens in Texas," Newsom said in August of Proposition 50.Dozens of Democratic state lawmakers fled Texas in August for liberal bastions such as Illinois, Massachusetts and New York to prevent a quorum for a special session as Republican state lawmakers prepared to vote on a redrawn congressional map for the state ahead of the 2026 midterms.Newsom launched his state's effort to counter redistricting in red states."Well pick up five seats with the consent of the people. And thats the difference between the approach were taking and the approach theyre taking," Newsom continued in his August press conference. "Were doing it on a temporary basis. Were doing it in a fully transparent way, and were doing it by asking the people of the state of California for their consent and support."Trump had encouraged redistricting in Texas, including remarking in August that efforts to redistrict in Texas could lead to the GOP picking up five seats.NEWSOM-STYLE REDISTRICTING EFFORTS CRITIQUED BY CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATS AS RECENTLY AS JULY, STATEMENTS SHOW"In California, its all gerrymandered," Trump said during an interview with CNBC at the time. "And we have an opportunity in Texas to pick up five seats. We have a really good governor, and we have good people in Texas. And I won Texas. I got the highest vote in the history of Texas, as you probably know, and we are entitled to five more seats."Trump repeatedly has railed against Soros in public remarks over his donations to left-wing causes and candidates, including calling for investigations into George and Alex Soros. CALIFORNIA REPUBLICANS SUE TO STOP NEWSOM, DEMOCRATS FROM PUSHING REDISTRICTING PLAN"Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our Country! That includes his Crazy, West Coast friends. Be careful, were watching you!" Trump wrote on Truth Social in August.Fox News Digital reached out to the Open Society Foundations and Newsom's office for comment, but did not immediately receive replies.

Left-wing political commentator Don Lemon suggested Italian women's boxer Angela Carini was responsible for the beatdown she received at the hands of Algeria's Imane Khelif, who previously failed sex eligibility tests.Khelif punched Carini so hard at the Paris Olympics last summer that Carini had to withdraw from the match in tears after less than a minute.But Lemon asked "Whose fault is that?" regarding Carini's bout with Khelif."If you put yourself in the arena to be hit and someone hits you hard, then whose fault is that?" Lemon said in an interview on "Piers Morgan Uncensored.""Im sure whoever was in that competition understood who they were going into the ring with. And if you put yourself in that competition in the middle of a ring where punches are being thrown, then you can expect to get hit hard, whether it is a man or a woman. And thats all I have to say about that."Carini recently alleged she has suffered online abuse in the aftermath of her infamous defeat.Carini published a video on Instagram with screenshots of messages of abuse she has received on social media some begging her not to go to the Olympics again, others calling her "a coward" and "the shame of the Italy team" and a voiceover of the 26-year-old explaining how she felt."Have you ever wondered how hard it was for me to face these words? What I had to endure and endure day after day? What I had to face in my silence, while preserving my health from a stupid social network, from people who speak and say words without thinking twice?" Carini said. "Because for them it's just a sentence, it's just a word, it's just fun, it's just wanting to follow the crowd."Carini's decision to quit the fight fueled a discussion far beyond Paris about whether Khelif should have been allowed to compete, with President Donald Trump and Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni speaking out.She said the incident has "destroyed" her career.FORMER UPENN SWIMMER REFLECTS ON BEING TEAMMATES WITH LIA THOMAS"For many it is easy to forget the past, but for me it wasn't," Carini said in her video. "That past that marked my life. That past that left wounds inside me that I try to heal day after day, but like an infected wound, it bleeds and hurts."That past that changed and destroyed my career, built year after year with sacrifices, dedication, tenacity and a lot of passion.... That career that is underestimated and belittled by those who preferred to have a laugh for a few moments, preferred to throw the stone."The International Olympic Committee (IOC) defended the results of the Paris Games, stating that Khelif and another boxer that faced gender eligibility concerns were the victims of a "sudden and arbitrary decision by the IBA." Khelif has also publicly denied being transgender.International Boxing Association (IBA) President Umar Kremlev demanded in July that Khelifs Olympic gold medal be stripped in an effort to achieve "transparency and openness." Khelif was previously disqualified from the IBA for failing a gender eligibility test. Kremlev claimed at the time that unpublished DNA test results showed Khelif had XY chromosomes.World Boxing, the international governing body for the sport, announced a new policy in August that introduces mandatory sex testing to ensure only females compete in the women's category. Khelif has appealed the new policy that will keep the athlete out of any competitions pending the results of genetic testing.Trump previously said there will be a "strong form of testing" when asked about potential genetic testing for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics at a press conference on Aug. 5.New IOC president Kirsty Coventry has initiated a task force to look at gender eligibility issues.The Associated Press contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
