    Karoline Leavitt says Obama 'has no idea what he's talking about' after Kimmel comments
    White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt joined Fox News' Kayleigh McEnany on her new show "Saturday in America," where she discussed former President Barack Obama's comments about "Jimmy Kimmel Live" being indefinitely suspended."With all due respect to former President Obama, he has no idea what he's talking about," Leavitt asserted. "The decision to fire Jimmy Kimmel and to cancel his show came from executives at ABC.""After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn't like," Obama posted to X on Thursday.JIMMY KIMMEL CANCELLATION SPARKS FIERCE CELEBRITY SPLIT IN HOLLYWOOD"This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it," he added.Leavitt assured viewers that ABC's decision to suspend Kimmel was not at the behest of the White House, and that President Donald Trump did not pressure the network to do so."And how do I know that, Kayleigh?" she asked. "Because I was with the President when this news broke in the United Kingdom."The press secretary claimed that she was the one who broke the news to Trump during their U.K. visit, and that at the time, the president "had no idea this was happening."GAVIN NEWSOM SLAMS 'SPINELESS' ABC FOR PULLING JIMMY KIMMEL OFF THE AIR"It was a decision that was made by ABC because Jimmy Kimmel chose to knowingly lie to his audience on his program about the death of a highly respected man when our country is in a state of mourning. That was a decision that he made, and he is now facing a consequence for that decision and for that lie," she contended.Disney, ABC's parent company, confirmed to Fox News Digital on Wednesday that Kimmel's show, which is based in Los Angeles, would be pulled "indefinitely."Nexstar Media Group, which owns hundreds of television stations, announced in a press release it would preempt Kimmel's show on its ABC affiliates starting Wednesday night "for the foreseeable future" and would replace it with other programming over his comments about Kirk's alleged assassin. Sinclair Broadcast Group followed suit.LIBERALS RAGE AS ABC PULLS JIMMY KIMMEL OFF AIR FOLLOWING CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSIN COMMENTS"Mr. Kimmels comments about the death of Mr. Kirk are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse, and we do not believe they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views or values of the local communities in which we are located," Nexstar's broadcasting chief, Andrew Alford, said in a press release.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREOn Monday, Kimmel accused conservatives of reaching "new lows" in trying to pin a left-wing ideology on 22-year-old suspect Tyler Robinson, even though prosecutors reaffirmed those ties in Tuesdays indictment.Leavitt noted that while Trump is "pleased with this decision," he had nothing to do with the show being pulled. She added that ABCs choice likely came down to business, as Kimmels ratings were "in the gutter."Fox News Digital reached out to representatives of Obama for comment.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPFox News' Joseph A.

    Heavy soda trend flows through US as super sweet fountain drinks spark buzz online
    A sweet new drink craze is bubbling up online and dentists are cringing.The latest fountain option, dubbed heavy soda, promises an extra blast of syrup for maximum sweetness and a flavor strong enough to withstand melting ice.According to Reddit threads and viral TikTok videos, some gas stations in Southern Missouri have begun offering the concoction, with machines labeled "heavy" for popular sodas like Pepsi, Mountain Dew and Dr Pepper.YOUR DAILY DIET SODA COULD BE AGING YOUR BRAIN FASTER THAN YOU THINK, STUDY FINDSThe internet is fizzing with chatter over the trend, leaving some people shocked and others curious."Not going to lie that sounds gross," one person said on the subreddit r/Soda. "Already sweet enough.""This would take me out, I fear," someone else said.Some Midwesterners said the trend was new to them but they weren't necessarily opposed to it."Must be very southern MO," one person commented, adding, "Ive lived in Missouri 43 years and never seen it."SUGAR IN DRINKS LINKED TO HIGHER DIABETES RISK THAN THAT IN FOOD, NEW RESEARCH FINDS"Never even heard of this I want to find it though," another person wrote. "Ive never tried heavy soda, but Id give it a chance," someone else agreed.However, some Missourians claimed they were aware of the syrupy secret, and it evoked nostalgia for others."For everyone asking, heavy Pepsi is a Missouri thing," one person confirmed.Someone else said, "In my memory, movie theaters growing up had that heavy Cherry Coke. I miss it."Another explained, "Its for people who buy a big soda in the morning; as the ice melts all day, heavy ends up tasting normal instead of watery."'FRIDGE CIGARETTE' IS GEN Z'S NEW DIET COKE OBSESSION THAT CONCERNS HEALTH EXPERTSThe idea mirrors why McDonalds Coke is famous for tasting better. Syrup to carbonated water ratios are boosted to account for melting ice. Unlike the popular new dirty soda trend, which dresses up soft drinks with creamers, fruit pures and syrups, heavy soda is all about maximum sweetness and flavor.Dr. Jeremy Manuele, a Las Vegas orthodontist and author, admitted that, as a fan of an occasional soda, he understands why the trend is catching on, but he said it does raise several red flags."The extra syrup gives it extra flavor, and it feels like even more of a little treat," Manuele told Fox News Digital.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERBut all that sugar means a higher risk of cavities, gum inflammation and enamel erosion, he said, adding that some of the problems can spread to other parts of the body. "Some of the same bacteria linked to gum disease have also been connected to heart disease and other health issues," he said.There is also the unavoidable sugar crash, he added.The trend reminds him of the super-sized soda era of the 1980s and 1990s."It seems we are always trying to find new ways to make getting our soda fix exciting," Manuele said. "It might appear fun and innocent in the moment, but if it sticks around, it could lead to health issues that people are not thinking about yet."Peter Earley, a chef and content creator from Nova Scotia, Canada known on TikTok as @earlypete, has been tracking the trend online and sees it as part of a broader category he calls "stunt food" over-the-top creations that pack as much shock value as they do flavor. (See the video at the top of this article.)MORE FROM FOX NEWS LIFESTYLEFor every 100 people who had no idea about the trend online, there was one person confirming, "Yup, that's in my hometown," Earley told Fox News Digital. Even some residents of neighboring southern and Midwestern states said, "That's been a thing here forever."The trend has been bubbling up online for years, he said, and is just finding new life now."It comes at a time when these sorts of food trends are becoming more and more permissible," he added. "Theres all this talk about eating healthier, but at the same time theres the kickback, which is people making crazy, over-the-top food, you know, pouring pepperoni grease into ranch dressing and dumping it on top of a slice of pizza or whatever."And rural gas stations are not immune to that. "People want their soda syrup cranked up because everyone wants a sweeter soda at the end of the day, right?" Earley said. "Its never quite enough we always take it to the next level."

    Buffalo Sabres star Rasmus Dahlin revealed in an open letter to hockey fans that his fiance, Carolina Matovac, received a heart transplant after she experienced "major heart failure" while the couple was vacationing in France early this summer.The Sabres captain detailed the traumatic experience in a letter shared by the team Friday. According to Dahlin, Matovac had been feeling ill for several days, which led to her experiencing"major heart failure.""Fortunately, she received CPR on multiple occasions, and up to a couple of hours at a time to keep her alive, which ultimately saved her life. Without her receiving lifesaving CPR, the result would have been unimaginable. It is hard to even think about the worst-case scenario," he wrote.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMMatovac remained on life support for weeks before receiving the transplant in France."Without the incredible commitment, expertise, care, and sensitivity of all the people who treated Carolina, we would not be in the position that we are in today, with Carolina recovering well and on the path to a full recovery."Dahlin thanked Matovacs medical team, theNHL and NHLPA, and the Pegula family for their support. He said that by sharing this life-altering experience, he hopes to remind others to "appreciate our experiences, the people closest to us, and the importance of fully living each day.""While Carolina is still working through her rehab to return to be with me in Buffalo, she has demonstrated an incredible determination, spirit, positivity, and resilience that I am in awe of. This has undoubtedly been the most challenging chapter of our lives, however it is something that we have learned so much from. We will continue to grow from these experiences and are so grateful for all the love and support we have received. We are truly blessed in so many ways and fully realize how fortunate we are."Dahlin, 25, is entering his eighth NHL season after being selected first overall by Buffalo in the 2018 draft.

    NFL looks to 'officiate it tight' as Chiefs game review video renews 'tush push' scrutiny: report
    Debates over the Philadelphia Eagles signature short yardage "tush push," which is also colloquially referred to as the "Brotherly Shove," were reignited after a Week 2 game in Kansas City.The NFL sent a video to every teams head coaches and general managers this week. The video spotlighted pre-snap violations. The Washington Post was the first to report on the details of what the tape depicted.According to the report, it was determined that one of the Eagles "tush push" attempts during last Sunday's 20-17 win over the Chiefs should have been flagged.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe training tapes are not new. The weekly videos effectively serve as a tool for analyzing the most recent slate of NFL games.The play that is under scrutiny from last weeks game at Arrowhead Stadium happened on a third down in the fourth quarter. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts ultimately converted on the third-and-1 play with less than six minutes remaining in the game.FORMER EAGLES GREAT JASON KELCE WARNS REFS WILL LOOK 'FOR ANYTHING TO CALL' ON TUSH PUSH AMID CRITICISMFans and others who watched the Eagles' latest meeting with the Chiefs argued the Eagles offensive guards moved before Phillys center did. Those accusations were exacerbated by the suggestion that Eagles center Cameron Jurgens initially lined up in the neutral zone, which would incur an offside penalty.NFL vice president of officiating training and development Ramon George acknowledged at least one Eagles lineman committed a pre-snap motion violation. Game officials did not penalize the Eagles on the play."Anytime we have this situation were in short yardage, we know we want to make sure that we officiate these plays the offensive team has to be perfect in every aspect," George noted in the video, according to the Post."We want to officiate it tight. We want to be black and white and be as tight as we can be when we get into this situation where teams are in the bunch position and we have to officiate them being onsides, movement early."Prior to the snap, looks like we have movement by the right guard. We also have movement coming across from the defensive side. This is a very hard play to officiate. I get it."FOX Sports rules analyst Dean Blandino expressed frustration over the state of the "tush push," and said he was "done" with the play due to the level of difficulty associated with being able to officiate it consistently.Last year, the Green Bay Packers submitted a proposal to ban the "tush push." The play ultimately survived for at least the 2025 season after NFL owners fell short of the required 24-vote threshold to outlaw it.ESPN reported that the "tush push" was utilized in just 0.28% of total plays during the 2024 season.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    Selena Gomez's health battle takes painful turn as star reveals lupus complication
    Singer and actress Selena Gomez recently revealed that she developed arthritis related to her lupus, a condition she has openly discussed since she disclosed it in 2015. This highlights that while arthritis is often seen as an older persons condition, lupus can affect anyone and often much earlier in life.Lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus, or SLE) is an autoimmune disease, meaning the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues.WEIGHT-LOSS DRUGS COULD REDUCE SYMPTOMS OF PAINFUL SKIN CONDITION, STUDY FINDSThe process involves several "moving parts," according to Irene Blanco, professor and director of Lupus Clinical Services at Northwestern Universitys Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute in Chicago."Lupus patients classically make antibodies that target their own bodys healthy proteins and structures," she told Fox News Digital.These antibodies can damage joint tissues or form "immune complexes" that settle in the joints, causing swelling, stiffness, warmth and pain, the expert added.Dr. Adam Kreitenberg, rheumatologist and scientific advisor with 1MD Nutrition in California, said arthritis is one of the most common problems that lupus patients face, with up to 90% of people with SLE experiencing joint pain or arthritis at some point during the course of their disease.TENNIS CHAMPION MONICA SELES REVEALS INCURABLE DISEASE AS DOCTOR SHARES WHAT TO KNOW"The arthritis of lupus can be quite disabling when inadequately treated," he told Fox News Digital.More than 90% of people with lupus will experience joint or muscle pain, according to the National Institutes of Health.POPULAR WEIGHT-LOSS MEDICATION COULD RELIEVE PAINFUL ARTHRITIS SYMPTOMS, DOCTORS REPORTUnlike rheumatoid arthritis, lupus arthritis often doesnt cause permanent damage that is visible on X-rays, but it can still be profoundly disabling.Not all pain is directly caused by lupus, Blanco noted. Some patients develop overlapping conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis or gout. Others may experience fibromyalgia, a pain syndrome linked to how the brain processes signals."This is why its so important to tease out the different causes of pain," she said. "Management may change depending on whats really driving the symptoms."Kreitenberg agreed. "Several factors can mimic or contribute to joint pain in lupus patients," he said, adding that fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis and even medication effects, such as steroid-induced joint or tendon problems, may play a role.When contacted by Fox News Digital, the Lupus Foundation of America provided information noting that lupus is not a form of arthritis, but that arthritis often emerges as one of its most common symptoms."It is very important not to make this mistake, because lupus is quite different than any other illness that causes arthritis," the foundation states on its website. "It should not be lumped in with these other causes of arthritis, because the causes and the treatments are very different."Arthritis is caused by either inflammation or wear and tear of the bodys joints, according to the above source, while lupus arthritis is caused by inflammation."After a long time of uncontrolled lupus, however, people can have damage in the joints, which causes problems even when the lupus is not flaring," the foundation wrote."Other forms of arthritis are caused by sports injuries, being overweight, or by inflammation that is different from the type of inflammation seen in lupus."Cleveland Clinic emphasizes that lupus primarily affects women between the ages of 15 and 45. For these patients, joint pain can disrupt work, school and daily life.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER"Selena Gomez is a reminder that joint pain and arthritis can be part of life even for people in their 20s and 30s," Kreitenberg said.The good news is that effective treatment exists. First-line therapy usually includes hydroxychloroquine, with steroids or immunosuppressants added if needed but finding the right regimen takes time, experts say.Kreitenberg recommends pairing medical care with lifestyle strategies, such as low-impact exercises like swimming and yoga; anti-inflammatory eating patterns paired with natural compounds like curcumin and boswellia; and good posture and proper footwear.MORE IN HEALTH NEWS"Most importantly, prompt evaluation by a doctor is critical when new or worsening joint pain develops," Kreitenberg said. "Early recognition and treatment of lupus arthritis can prevent long-term disability and improve quality of life."

    California high school volleyball team with trans athlete sees more forfeits following lawsuit by teammates
    A girls' high school volleyball team with a transgender player in California saw more games forfeited off its schedule last weekend. The forfeits are the first to come after a lawsuit was filed by three current and former players against the school district and state agencies.The forfeits came against Jurupa Valley High School, based in Riverside County, last Saturday at the Freeway Games tournament, according to Maribel Munoz, the mother of two student-athletes who are plaintiffs in the lawsuit. Munonz told Fox News Digital that Aquinas High School, Yucaipa High School and San Dima High School were the teams that forfeited.The high school sports archive website MaxPreps shows that Jurupa Valley was awarded a win by forfeit on Sept. 13 against Yucaipa High School, at the tournament.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe Press Enterprise newspaper in Southern California reported that Aquinas, Yucaipa and San Dima all forfeited to Jurupa Valley last weekend.Fox News Digital has reached out to those schools and Jurupa Valley for comment.Prior to last weekend, four teams had been confirmed to have forfeited to Jurupa Vally this season Riverside Poly High School, Rim of The World High School, Orange Vista High School and AB Miller High School.Then, on Sept. 9, Munoz's daughters, Madison and Alyssa McPherson, alongside teammate Hadeel Hazameh, filed their lawsuit with the firm Advocates for Faith & Freedom against the Jurupa Unified School District (JUSD), the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) and the California Department of Education (CDE) over their experience sharing a team and locker room with the trans athlete. Alyssa McPherson and Hazameh previously told Fox News Digital they were stepping away from the team as long as the trans athlete is participating."Plaintiffs have been intimidated by an intentionally hostile environment created by Defendants wherein they were bullied by school officials to censor their objections to competing with, and against, a male and to sharing intimate and private spaces with a male," the lawsuit reads.INSIDE GAVIN NEWSOM'S TRANSGENDER VOLLEYBALL CRISISThe McPherson family, who identify as practicing Catholics, claimed to "believe that God created human beings as male and female and that gender is a fixed characteristic that cannot be changed. Their faith informs their understanding of human identity and shapes their views regarding the importance of recognizing and honoring the distinctives of male and female as created by God," per court documents.Meanwhile, Hazameh and her family identify as practicing Muslims "whose religious obligations prevent H.H. from exposing her hair or body to males, including by wearing a hijab. Guided by Islamic teachings, they believe that men and women have distinct biological differences, roles, and responsibilities, which should be respected and upheld," per court documents."Their faith emphasizes modesty, dignity, and the honoring of gender distinctions which must conform with one biological sex in both practice and identity."The JUSD has directly encouraged critics to take up the issue with government officials and lawmakers, in a statement previously provided to Fox News Digital, but the school district has not commented on the lawsuit."School districts do not write laws for the state of California, nor do they have the power to ignore them or change them. However, as primarily state-funded agencies, they are required to follow them. As these issues play out in our courts and the media, any advocacy on these matters should be directed at state and federal officials elected to make laws and policies that affect public education," the statement read.A CDE spokesperson told Fox News Digital, "The California Department of Education cannot comment on this matter, as we cannot comment on pending litigation."The CIF has not responded to Fox News Digital's requests for response to the lawsuit.California Gov. Gavin Newsom's office provided a statement to Fox News Digital in response to the complaints by athletes and parents, suggesting the responsibility falls on the CIF, CDE and state legislature, but not on him."CIF is an independent nonprofit that governs high school sports. The California Department of Education is a separate constitutional office. Neither is under the Governors authority," the statement read. "CIF and the CDE have stated they follow existing state law a law that was passed in 2013 and signed by Governor Jerry Brown (not Newsom) andin line with 21 other states. For the law to change, the legislature would need to send the Governor a bill. They have not."Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
