WWW.FOXNEWS.COMTrump calls antifa terrorist group, fueling fight over free speech and limits of law enforcementPresident Donald Trumps declaration that antifa is a "major terrorist organization" has spurred questions about who falls under that category and what repercussions they could face from law enforcement.Trumps announcement, made in a Truth Social post Wednesday, aims to punish antifa, described by the president as a dangerous "radical left disaster." But some experts warn that antifa, shorthand for "antifascism," is a catch-all term that ropes in law-abiding people and that, unlike foreign terrorist organizations, there is no legal designation for domestic terrorist organizations.Alex Nowrasteh, a vice president at the thinktank Cato Institute, told Fox News Digital Trumps announcement carries little weight but that the White House could craft an executive order that transforms the presidents words into action."It's all social media vibes, until there is an order from the president of some kind, and that's going to be the dividing line," Nowrasteh said. "That's going to be what we need to really take a look at."TRUMP TO DESIGNATE ANTIFA A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONA White House official told Fox News Digital the administration is examining ways to memorialize Trump's call to action."The White House is exploring a wide variety of options to put pen to paper to address left-wing political violence and the network of organizations that fuel and fund it," the official said. "Specifics on what that looks like continue to be discussed."Trump also said on Truth Social that those providing funds to antifa-affiliated groups should be investigated.Trump's announcement came less than a week after conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a gunman who allegedly wrote gamer-inspired antifascist messaging on bullet casings and accused Kirk of spreading hate. Authorities are still working to develop a complete picture of suspect Tyler Robinson's motive.Former FBI Director Christopher Wray described antifa as a decentralized "ideology." The Congressional Research Search emphasizes that it is a broad term and that its members have a variety of radical views closely aligned with anarchism, communism or socialism. The first group known to adopt the term antifa was Rose City Antifa in Portland, Oregon, in 2007. On occasion, violent criminals have been cited in court as affiliating with antifa.TRUMP SIGNALING TO DOJ TO TAKE ANTIFA SERIOUSLY, FORMER DHS OFFICIAL SAYSFormer acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf told Fox News Trump's announcement could cause a shift in federal law enforcement priorities. Wolf said a crackdown on antifa, whose members often dress in all black and appear at political protests, was long overdue. The president first said antifa was a terrorist organization in 2020 amid protests and destructive riots related to George Floyd's death."I'm glad to see this. This needed to happen," Wolf said. "It needed to happen in 2020, when not only was I in the middle of it, but I think most Americans saw what was going down not only in Portland but around the country, and we saw antifa being very violent."Wolf noted that Trump's social media announcement alone could spur the Department of Justice and the FBI to allocate resources toward investigating suspected antifa members and use their prosecutorial discretion to prioritize going after them. Domestic terrorism on both sides of the political aisle has long been a focus for federal law enforcement.Any antifa targets who face criminal charges could see prosecutors recommend tougher sentences that include a terrorism enhancement. Additionally, federal law enforcement could conduct surveillance of suspected domestic terrorists or place them on the no-fly list.DAVID MARCUS: DEMOCRATS MUST STOP THEIR DEADLY ANTI-FASCISM COSPLAYSome have expressed concerns that Trump's announcement, and any subsequent actions the president takes related to it, could lead to constitutional violations against nonviolent people or groups on the left."I hope he can first define what antifa is, because there is no antifa organization. He's using the Charlie Kirk murder as a pretext to go after people that he disagrees with," Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., said.Nowrasteh said that peacefully adhering to some kind of antifascist ideology is "absolutely protected speech.""You can believe and say, hey, this terrorist organization. I believe in what they're doing. Their goals are great. Their beliefs are awesome. You could say that. That's not a legal violation, because of the First Amendment."The American Civil Liberties Union's response to Trump's announcement echoed similar constitutional concerns."President Trump seems hellbent on targeting real or perceived political opponents based on their constitutionally protected beliefs and speech, and we should all be very clear that he is jeopardizing everyones First Amendment rights," the ACLU's Hina Shamsi said.0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 7 Views 0 Vista previa

The 54-year-old host doesnt eat, drink or take any bathroom breaks throughout the afternoon.In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, the longtime host gave an inside look into his gameday preparation.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"NFL RedZone" is filmed from studios in Los Angeles, so kickoff for him is at 10:00 a.m. PT. But his days start hours earlier."My Sunday begins at 4 a.m., 4:30 a.m. That's when the alarm clock rings. Believe it or not, I don't even usually need the alarm clock. I am so wired to get up on an NFL Sunday, my body will wake me up before the alarm even has to buzz," Hanson told Fox News Digital. "I grab a shower. I don't drink coffee. People are extremely shocked by that, because of all the energy I guess I exhibit. Not a coffee drinker. I head into the studio, and then I'm in the studio about fivehours before showtime."Hansons breakfast at the studio is the same every week, made to help him retain water throughout the show."The chefs at the network make me the same dense protein, salty breakfast, so I can retain water so that I don't have to use the facilities."Hanson cuts off all food and liquids about three and a half hours before showtime.DOLPHINS' TUA TAGOVAILOA DRAWS BACKLASH FOR ADMITTING HE 'CAN'T DO HALF' OF WHAT BILLS STAR JOSH ALLEN CANAbout two hours ahead of the opening kickoff, Hanson goes to a production meeting to do final preparations."We have a production meeting about two hours before showtime. I go over all the notes that I have with the entire crew. So we're all on the same page with storylines, facts, figures, milestones to look for, so that we know, hey, we expect this to happen in this game or this might happen in this game. Make sure we're covering it. Make sure we all know why we need to show this at this given time."With an hour before the show begins, he will put on his suit and get makeup done and then rehearse the beginning part of the show."We do a little rehearsal, believe it or not. It's an ad-libbed show, of course," Hanson said. "But we do a rehearsal. The first twominutes of the show are the only part that is scripted. I usually write out.""What I'd like to say to bring the audience in, to ratchet up the energy and passion, and to welcome the entire football world into a new episode of NFL RedZone. We'll rehearse that around 9:30 a.m."Hansons final bathroom break comes while the clock is counting down to showtime.VIKINGS' CARSON WENTZ TO MAKE NFL HISTORY WITH UNPRECEDENTED STARTING STREAK"Fiveminutes before showtime, when most of you guys are watching the countdown clock on NFL RedZone, I'm in the men's room using the facilities for the final time, because we don't stop, and I haven't taken a break in more than a decade, and I don't intend to," Hanson said."So you guys are watching the clock tick down. I'm finishing up. I come back in the studio at 10 a.m. Pacific, 1 p.m. Eastern.

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMCharlie Kirk assassination will spark faith revival among youth, Cardinal Dolan predictsThe assassination of political activist Charlie Kirk is prompting Timothy Cardinal Dolan to call it a moment of spiritual awakening for young people. Dolan, the Archbishop of New York, compared Kirk to a "modern-day St. Paul.""He was a missionary, he's an evangelist, he's a hero. He's one I think that knew what Jesus meant when he said the truth will set you free," Dolan said Friday on "Fox & Friends."He noted that while Kirk had a blunt style, he respected opposing views."The difference is the way, the mode, the style that he did it always with respect and not only was that a gracious kind of virtuous thing to do, it's effective."CHARLIE KIRK'S FRIEND URGES MOURNERS TO 'GO BACK TO CHURCH' FOLLOWING ACTIVIST'S KILLINGDolan said he began learning more about Kirks faith work only after his death on Sept. 10. Kirk, co-founder of Turning Point USA, was shot and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University. He leaves behind his wife and two children.The cardinal believes the tragedy could inspire a renewed interest in faith among young people, a trend he says has already been growing."What they're seeing is almost this kind of revival of a sense of value and truth and conviction, almost an elevation of the role of faith back into the public square where our founders intended it to be from the beginning," Dolan said.PASTOR: CHARLIE KIRKS GRAPHIC DEATH WAS 'TRAUMATIC' AS MANY AMERICANS RECONCILE WITH LOSS"Theyre almost saying this overwhelming sense of appreciation for Charlie and the great solidarity that we're sensing is itself an answer to prayers."Kirks work often centered on strengthening what he viewed as the traditional American family, a mission rooted in his Christian beliefs. Dolan argued that many young people who drifted from God are now recognizing a void in their lives, something Kirk helped them identify."As St. Augustine said, No, it's not something missing. It's someone missing. I think that's what Charlie said. He wasn't afraid to talk about the Lord. He wasn't even afraid to say the name of Jesus," Dolan added.CHARLIE KIRK PAINTED AS 'CONTROVERSIAL,' 'PROVOCATIVE' IN MEDIAS ASSASSINATION COVERAGEThe cardinal condemned Kirks killing as "evil" and said the public must not shy away from calling it that. He stressed that personal attacks weaken arguments."Issues, not individuals. Principles, not just politics," he said."The weakest argument is ad hominem. When you begin to attack the personthen you know you've lost it The compelling nature of a rational argument has faded, so you begin to attack the person. Charlie apparently knew that."Turning Point USA announced it will hold a public memorial for Kirk this Sunday at the Arizona Cardinals stadium, which can hold more than 70,000 people.0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 16 Views 0 Vista previa

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMKimmel planned to attack Trump supporters in monologue, defend Kirk comments before Disney interventionABCs Jimmy Kimmel reportedly refused to apologize for remarks that landed him in hot water and planned to further tear into Donald Trump supporters, insisting they "purposefully twisted" his words, before he was taken off the air by Disney executives.Disney on Wednesday sidelined Kimmel "indefinitely" on the heels of controversial comments the late-night host made about the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk. The move came as Disney faced mounting pressure from ABC affiliate stations around the country, as well as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), setting off a national debate around free speech and alleged censorship.Kimmel had planned to address the controversy in his Wednesday monologue, according to The Wall Street Journal. But Disney Entertainment co-chair Dana Walden, a top Kimmel ally, believed his planned remarks "could make the situation worse."DISNEYS JIMMY KIMMEL BENCHING PROMPTS CELEBRATION, BUT ALSO CAUTION, FROM CONSERVATIVESKimmel "was planning to say that his words were being purposefully twisted by some members of the Make America Great Again movement," the Journal reported.Walden and Disney CEO Bob Iger made the decision to bench Kimmel, sources told Fox Business. The decision came shortly after Nexstar, the owner of 32 ABC affiliate stations, said it would preempt his show "for the foreseeable future." Sinclair Broadcast Group followed suit, yanking his show from its ABC affiliates and demanding Kimmel apologize.The saga began on Monday when Kimmel accused conservativesof reaching "new lows" in trying to pin a left-wing ideology on 22-year-old suspect Tyler Robinson."We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," Kimmel said.DISNEY SAYS JIMMY KIMMEL'S SHOW WILL BE PREEMPTED INDEFINITELY FOLLOWING CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION COMMENTSKimmels comments came one day after both FBI officials and Utah Gov.

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMReese Witherspoon admits to Hollywood ego check she didnt see comingReese Witherspoon learned a valuable lesson when a director refused to cast her in a movie.During a recent appearance on Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers "Las Culturistas" podcast, the 49-year-old "Legally Blonde" star shared that although she had optioned the rights to the bestselling novel, "Gone Girl," with the intention of starring in it, director David Fincher declined to cast her in the 2014 movie."David sat me down and this is not on David but Davids like, Youre totally wrong for this part, and Im not putting you in it,'" she explained.Despite having the full support of the book's author, Gillian Flynn, who Witherspoon explained kept telling her, "Id really like you to do it," she said the director would not change his mind, telling her, "Youre wrong."CHARLIZE THERON CALLS OUT HOLLYWOOD FOR NOT TAKING 'RISK' ON FEMALE HERO ACTION FILMSEventually, Fincher went on to cast Rosamund Pike in the lead role, alongside Ben Affleck, Carrie Coon, Tyler Perry and Neil Patrick Harris. While Witherspoon says it was a tough pill to swallow, she admitted the director had a point."That was, first of all, an ego check for me," she said. "It was like, No, youre not right for everything. And he was right. He was totally right."In terms of why she wasn't right for the role, Witherspoon said Fincher didn't give her any reasons, but she thought it could have been because she would have "brought an audience with me that likes me," and added that she isn't known to be "sinister or diabolical."The project was the first film Witherspoon produced with her production company, Pacific Standard, which has since been rebranded as Hello Sunshine.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING?

"So Big Little Lies was like a year later, and Nicole [Kidman] and I produced that together till people started taking me seriously as a producer, because I honestly could not get traction even as a producer, even with those hits, with those three Oscar nominations. Yeah, it was really hard."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERWitherspoon went on to find great success as a producer, often starring in the films and television shows she produced, including "Little Fires Everywhere," "The Morning Show" and "You're Cordially Invited."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 16 Views 0 Vista previa

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMFour charged in Texas with smuggling children across border while posing as parentsFour people are facing charges in a shocking child-smuggling case out of El Paso, Texas.The four are accused of smuggling unaccompanied children between five and 13 years old from Jurez, Mexico, into the United States, posing as the children's parents at Border Patrol checkpoints and sedating them with marijuana gummies.Mexican nationals Susana Guadian and Daniel Guadian, their daughter, Dianne Guadian, a U.S. citizen; and Manuel Valenzuela, a legal U.S. resident living in El Paso, were charged in the Western District of Texas with conspiracy to transport aliens and bringing aliens to the U.S. for financial gain. Officials are working on extraditing the Mexican nationals to the U.S. to face their charges, according to Jason Stevens, the Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) El Paso."They would have the drivers pose as their parents and provide U.S. documents, falsely claiming that the documents belong to those children that were being smuggled," Stevens said.THE HUMAN COST OF BIDEN'S SHAMEFUL 'CHILDRENS CRUSADE' AT THE BORDERAccording to the criminal complaint, the smuggling events happened between May 1, 2024, and Oct. 18, 2024. During at least one smuggling event, one child was taken to the hospital after taking gummy candies laced with marijuana."We've seen everything from Benadryl to now these gummies being used to be able to sedate the children," Stevens added. "They would normally bring them in overnight between 10 a.m. and 4 or 5 a.m., when the children would be sleeping anyway. They use that to ensure that they stay sedated, and that way they're less likely to answer questions or provide anything that's going to be inconsistent or contrary to what the smuggler's saying."The criminal complaint includes text messages to the suspect, which translate to English, "Young lady, are you working today? I have a boy 7 and 8. They are small," and another text reads, "Also Fanny, I have two little girls ages 4 and 5."FORMER ICE CHIEF TORCHES 'UNCONSCIONABLE' BIDEN-ERA POLICIES AS TRUMP'S DHS FINDS MIGRANT CHILDRENProof-of-life pictures of some of the children were found on the suspects' phones.Stevens says the parents trusted the smugglers to deliver their children to family members in the U.S., despite the significant risks."These children are nothing more than currency to the criminals," Stevens said. "We want to ensure that we interdict this and stop this before they get here because there are instances where we find children that are in stash houses, or we get cases where we will be contacted by a local department where a family is being extorted and children are being held."READ THE CRIMINAL COMPLAINT APP USERS, CLICK HERE:Earlier this month, Fox News got an exclusive look at the team within the Office of Refugee Resettlement which was created under the Trump administration to help find the tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors who disappeared into the system under the Biden administration."While we understand people wanting to come to the United States for a better way of life, there is a legal way to do it," Stevens said. "That is the way obviously that we suggest that they do that and that money be invested in that process, because when they go with a smuggling organization, they can't control any of the elements or the people that are smuggling them."0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 16 Views 0 Vista previa
