One year after an assassins near-miss attempt on President Donald Trump, many who witnessed the shooting firsthand say they remain deeply dissatisfied with official investigations, which they believe have failed to provide meaningful answers."Im highly dissatisfied with the lack of preparation," said Rep. Dan Meuser, R-Pa., who was seated in the front row at the rally. "The failures were almost unbelievable," he told Fox News Digital, echoing a widespread view that the breach was the result of avoidable missteps by law enforcement.Despite probes by multiple federal agencies and a formal congressional investigation, both local residents and lawmakers say theyre still left wondering what went wrong."The task force was bipartisan. And frankly, I don't think to this day they've gotten all the answers," Meuser said.ONE YEAR AFTER TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT, BUTLER WIDOW DEMANDS ACCOUNTABILITY FROM SECRET SERVICEShooter Thomas Matthew Crooks was killed by law enforcement at the scene. Since then, the Secret Service has undergone a series of high-profile shakeups.A congressional select committee found in its report a "lack of planning and coordination between the Secret Service and its law enforcement partners," adding that the agency had been alerted to Crooks suspicious movements for over 10 minutes before he fired a shot.But for those who were there, major questions remain:What was Crooks motive? Why werent agents stationed on a nearby pitched roof? Why was Crooks' presence on top of the AGR building not acted on sooner? How was he able to fire eight rounds before being neutralized by a Secret Service countersniper?In the absence of concrete answers, some attendees have drawn their own speculative conclusions."There were certain stock transactions that transpired right beforehand," one rally-goer said."CNN never airs Trumps rallies. Why did they air this one?" another asked. (CNN has said it aired the Butler rally in anticipation of Trump announcing his vice presidential pick.)WHO WAS THOMAS CROOKS? ONE YEAR LATER, MOTIVE AND MISSED WARNINGS HAUNT TRUMP RALLY SHOOTING"I dont think it was [Crooks]," another witness claimed. "Nobody that went to school with him believes he could have engineered that kind of event."Zach Scherer, a Butler local who has worked on all three of Trumps presidential campaigns, voiced ongoing skepticism."We don't know anything about this kid from Bethel Park," he said. "The Comperatore family needs answers. The rest of the community does too. It affected every single person who was here."Corey Comperatore, a local firefighter, was killed during the shooting."Investigations that were already done are very inconclusive," said Erin Autenreith, a GOP activist and rally attendee from Glenshaw, Pennsylvania. "There's just so much technology now these videos have such high resolution they can actually see the bullets.""The American people, they don't trust the investigations," she added. "Nobody believes it. So I don't think it's good."Jim Hulings, chairman of the Butler County GOP, criticized Pennsylvania officials for what he called apathy toward the case. He singled out both the Republican district attorney and state attorney general.SECRET SERVICE CHANGES THE AGENCY HAS MADE POST-TRUMP BUTLER ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT"Murder was never investigated," Hulings said. "We asked for the district attorney to call for a grand jury. He wouldnt do it. We gave him a letter and 8,000 signatures on a petition. He still wouldnt do it.""The AG doesnt really care either," Hulings added. "We got Dave Sunday elected, and he went persona non grata."Some argue the investigation should be elevated to the federal level, given its national implications.But longtime rally-goers agreed on one thing: a scant security presence was noticeable from the start of the day in Butler last year."All the other rallies I'd been to, there was Secret Service everywhere, so I just assumed they were going to be there. And they weren't," said Lucie Roth."There was no counter sniper teams visible. There was no drones. There was no helicopters," said Hulings. "Very few police."A number of factors have been blamed: technical issues with drones, high temperatures prompting Secret Service to seek refuge in the air conditioning, a force that was spread thin by long hours and unexpected overtime.A Senate report found that key resource requests were denied, and some were not even made: Secret Service did not request a surveillance team to help patrol the rally of 15,000 attendees, while an event for first lady Jill Biden had one assigned for her event of 400 individuals roughly an hour away.Until a fuller picture emerges, those who lived through that harrowing day say they wont stop pushing for accountability not just for Trump, but for Comperatore and a shaken community still seeking closure.

To curb rising youth violence, city leaders in Fayetteville, North Carolina, are implementing a new citywide curfew for minors.Fayetteville Mayor Mitch Colvin told Fox News Digital that the city recorded nearly 2,000 incidents of interaction or arrest involving minors over about a 16-month period."We looked at the last couple of quarters of the previous year, and then the first two quarters of this year, and it was almost 1,900 incidents of arrest or crimes that had been committed by juveniles. And so we know we have a problem there, and we want to make sure that we're proactive to deal with it," Colvin said.With the new ordinance, kids under 16 are prohibited from being in any public space between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., with some exceptions, including those who are accompanied by parents or guardians or another authorized adult escort, running direct-route errands, traveling to and from work, responding to emergencies, attending supervised activities such as sports or school events, and participating in religious services.JERSEY SHORE BOARDWALK MAYHEM PUTS BLUE STATE'S 'SOFT' CRIME APPROACH UNDER MICROSCOPEFayetteville is home to Fort Bragg, known briefly as Fort Liberty, the largest U.S. Army base by population. As of this week, the city is still in an "educational" period in which those who violate the curfew will be informed of the new rules, but punishments such as citations and detentions may occur as time goes on.Adults 17 and up, including parents and business owners, who are responsible for youths found to be in violation of the curfew may face a Class 3 misdemeanor charge and a maximum fine of $500.NORTH CAROLINA COUPLE NABBED AFTER DEPUTIES FIND ENOUGH FENTANYL TO POTENTIALLY KILL 13,000 PEOPLE: POLICE"Right now, the way that the ordinance is set up all of our punitive actions will take place against the parents. Whoever the responsible party is the custodian of that kid will be issued citations and possibly subject to fines and maybe arrest in certain cases of repeated violations," Colvin said. "And we're going to let them know that there are judicial consequences to inaction."Colvin brought up one incident in particular that happened earlier this year, when a 12-year-old girl named Adrianna Bethea was shot at a carnival in March, according to the Fayetteville Police Department and the mayor's office.The young cheerleader was transported to a nearby hospital in critical condition and is fighting to walk again after she was shot in the back and the chest, according to CBS 17. No arrests have been made in connection with the shooting so far."A group of kids got into an altercation, and a gun was pulled, and a young lady was shot, and she's paralyzed," Colvin said. "That spoke volumes to me. I knew her family, and it really made me angry. I'm a father of three daughters, and I've taken my kids to carnivals. I just think that our citizens deserve firm action."SPRING BREAK CRIME PLUMMETED IN FLORIDA HOT SPOT AFTER WARNING GOES VIRALThe mayor's office introduced five new safety recommendations in April following the shooting, including the youth curfew, and the Fayetteville City Council on which Colvin served four years before becoming mayor adopted all of them.Two city council members, Deno Hondros and Mario Benavente, voted against the curfew. They did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.VIRGINIA TOWN BACKS AWAY FROM DISSOLVING POLICE DEPARTMENT AFTER CITIZEN UPROAROther cities have implemented similar youth curfews, including Charlotte, North Carolina's largest city. Colvin said Fayetteville's curfew model is based on Charlotte's.In addition to the curfew, Fayetteville expanded youth recreational activities "and partnerships with organizations who were already doing mentorship-type activities," the mayor said. He brought up a new youth "midnight" basketball program, which does not actually take place until midnight but was extended to later hours. Certain youth centers will also be expanding the activities they offer, according to Colvin.NC POLICE RELEASE NEW PHOTO OF MISSING GIRL MADALINA COJOCARI ON HER 14TH BIRTHDAYA new chief will join the Fayetteville Police Department next week, and Colvin expects the department head to help implement the new ordinance."I'm certain that they will make sure that they are presenting a professional response to it. They're training their officers as to the terms and conditions of what their role will be. They're setting up the partnerships that are necessary because the city can't do this alone. We'll need social service, we'll need juvenile justice, and we need the other governmental units that have a role in this space. This is an ecosystem. That we all have to work in to create a safer, better environment for our young people."

On Monday, July 7,Axios published a shocking article titled "Democrats told to get shot for the anti-Trump resistance." Anonymous House Democrats claimed their base voters are saying there "needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public."Well, no one should have expected ABC, CBS and NBC to pick up this report and highlight it. They can hear in this wild chatter a spirit of January 6, that nonviolent politics as usual doesnt match the moment.The networks were also averse to spending much time on actual political violence this week, although the intended victims were law-enforcement officials, not elected Democrats.MORE DETAILS REVEALED ON SUSPECTS IN INDEPENDENCE DAY ICE ATTACK IN TEXASOn Monday morning, Fox News reporter Bill Melugin relayed an active shooter with a rifle and tactical gear ambushed Border Patrol agents as they arrived at a Border Patrol annex facility in McAllen, Texas. Local police and federal agents returned fire, killing the assailant. That received only a smattering of attention.That drew more attention than a leftist attack on an ICE facility on the Fourth of July, which should have added outrage to the news soup. A Texas police officer was shot in the neck allegedly by armed anti-ICE wingnuts near an ICE detention facility in Alvarado, Texas, about a half-south of Dallas. Authorities said Monday it was a "planned ambush" on the building, resulting in 11 people being charged. They said 10 to 12 people in black military-style clothing began shooting fireworks at the facility. One or two others broke off from the group and began to damage vehicles and spray graffiti with words like "ICE pig," "traitor" and profanities. We found just one brief on the "CBS Evening News" on July 8. GUNMAN AMBUSHES BORDER PATROL AGENTS DAYS AFTER HOUSE DEMS REJECT RESOLUTION CONDEMNING ANTI-ICE VIOLENCE"Ten people are charged with attempted murder after allegedly staging an ambush at an immigration detention center in Alvarado, Texas. Investigators say some of the suspects lured officers outside by shooting fireworks at the building and painting graffiti," announced anchor Maurice DeBois. "An officer was shot and is out of the hospital. Authorities are investigating whether the July 4th attack is linked to a shooting yesterday at a Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas."Thats 70 words, lasting 25 seconds.The "PBS News Hour" report was pretty much the same length. PBS anchor Amna Nawaz noted: "The acting U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Texas said that last week's events were quote an ambush of federal and local law enforcement officers."Then she added, "The charges come as immigration agents just received a major infusion of funding to carry out President Trump's deportation agenda." Their brief was the throat-clearing introduction to lead into White House reporter Laura Barron-Lopez. The segment was given the scary online headline "GOP gives ICE massive budget increase to expand Trumps deportation effort."BORDER AGENT AMBUSH SHOWS DEMS NEED TO 'TONE DOWN RHETORIC,' WHITE HOUSE SAYS, PUSHING AOC TO MEET WITH ICEPBS never returned to the violent attacks on ICE enforcers. Nawaz did complain that ICE is too aggressive with innocent non-violent illegal aliens: "President Trump said he was focusing on violent criminals, on public safety threats. We have seen ICE has gone far beyond that already, so who is and will be targeted for arrest moving forward?"CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONOn Thursday night, ABCs "World News Tonight" anchor David Muir announced in his typically clipped style: "A major immigration raid unfolding. Masked federal agents raiding two California farms north of Los Angeles at this hour. Clashing with protesters who quickly gathered. Men lined up against a wall under heavy guard."Reporter Aaron Katersky at least mentioned some people desire violence against ICE: "This kind of immigration enforcement is not only drawing crowds like were seeing tonight, David. Online, there are calls for violence with the goal of trying to stop these raids."DHS FIRES BACK AT DEMOCRATS FOR 'BEYOND THE PALE' RHETORIC AS ICE AGENTS FACE WAVE OF VIOLENT THREATSOn Friday morning, CBS and NBC followed suit with the "chaos" and "angry protesters" trying to interrupt enforcement actions. NBC anchor Craig Melvin noted: "The FBI now offering a reward in the search for someone who appeared to fire a pistol at federal agents during a raid on a farm in southern California." The headline was softer: "ICE Agents Clash with Protesters," not "Protester Shoots at ICE Agents."CBS at least put the words "Violent Immigration Protests in California," but CBS reporter Carter Evans peppered his story with outraged protesters. "Im scared even though Im a citizen and everything," one said. "Im scared. Really scared." Another ICE protester argued "Theres got to be a better way than the way that theyre acting right now." An unidentified female screamed, "What about the children that are going to be taken from their families?"These networks clearly want to shower ICE with negative coverage. The illegal aliens are the sympathetic victims. Nowhere in these stories is the reality that illegal immigration has stopped to a trickle. Polls across the media landscape have showed the public supports deporting all illegal immigrants. The liberal networks are promoting the minority viewpoint again.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM TIM GRAHAM

When Desi Arnaz was deep in the throes of alcoholism, he turned to his son, who faced his own struggles with addiction, for advice."Desis second wife had died," author Todd S. Purdum told Fox News Digital. "He was alone. He knew he was drinking too much. He knew he was drinking himself to death. And he turned to Desi Jr., who was sober by then, and asked for help.""His son said, I cant help you, but I know a place that can,'" said Purdum. "Desi was smart enough to know that he was throwing his life away. He was in terrible grief and mourning He was isolating himself. I think he realized that he had to change something, or he was going to die."CLINT EASTWOOD'S COMPLICATED LOVE LIFE, 'ADDICTIVE' AFFAIRS EXPOSED IN NEW BIOGRAPHYThe entertainer, who famously starred as Ricky Ricardo opposite his first wife Lucille Ball in the 50s sitcom, "I Love Lucy," died in 1986 at age 69 from lung cancer.Hes now the subject of a new biography by Purdum, "Desi Arnaz: The Man Who Invented Television." It explores the late actors rise to stardom and how he revolutionized television production, as well as his final years. For the book, Arnaz Jr., 72, gave a rare interview."His sister from the very beginning, Lucie Arnaz, had been an invaluable help to me," said Purdum. "She cooperated from the beginning, giving me access to family letters and documents. I had a series of long talks with Desi Jr. before we had an on-the-record interview. And I think he understood that I was trying to tell his fathers whole story. He knew I would be sympathetic but wouldnt spare the complications of his life and demons.""I think he saw that I was trying to understand his father, what made him tick, what made him so talented, but also the forces that undermined him in the later part of his life where he was swallowed up by alcoholism and depression," Purdum shared.According to Purdum, Desi Jr. sought treatment in 1981. His father entered an alcohol rehabilitation program in 1985 under the name "Bill Sanchez" to protect his privacy. Before seeking help, Lucie recalled how their father called Desi Jr. and pleaded, "I need help. I dont want to die."At first, Arnaz resisted treatment. After a few days, he even left the hospital.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"Desi was proud," said Purdum. "He believed you shouldnt air your dirty linen in public or talk about it with other people. He was stubborn in that way. And alcoholism was much more stigmatized back then."Still, Arnaz returned to the program and persisted."We were there for him, the proudest moment of my life when he stood up and said, My name is Desi, and Im an alcoholic," said Lucie, 73, as quoted in the book. "I cried my eyes out. I was so proud of him."Purdum described how Arnaz turned to the bottle long before his Hollywood success to drown out a painful past."I think Desi suffered from what we would now call PTSD," Purdum explained. "He had to leave everything behind in Cuba when he was a teenager. His family lost everything to the revolution. They came to this country without a penny in their pockets."I think the aftermath of that disruption took a toll on him for the rest of his life And certainly, there was the stress of running a big and growing business as a mogul. I think he sought some self-anesthetization, some relief, and alcohol was the safety valve that he turned to."WATCH: I LOVE LUCY STAR KEITH THIBODEAUX RECALLS PLAYING LITTLE RICKY, WORKING ALONGSIDE LUCILLE BALL, DESI ARNAZ"He writes in his memoir that hed always enjoyed drinking," Purdum continued. "Hed always had a big appetite for drinking He loved food, drink, women and song. And he seems to have been the kind of person who grabbed life by the handful."Arnaz and Ball said "I do" in 1940. Their marriage was plagued with problems, mainly due to their separate careers, along with Arnaz's womanizing and drinking. "I Love Lucy," which premiered in 1951, was designed to save their marriage, The Associated Press reported."One of the things that went wrong was they started the show so they could be together," said Purdum. "They could live together in Los Angeles and work together. Desi was on the road with his band a lot. Lucille was making movies in Hollywood. They were often separated. So the show was created partly to save their marriage."But theres a strain from being together 24/7, not only at home, but at work too. That puts a lot of pressure on any relationship And Desi, as he got more successful, fell more and more prey to drinking.""He was out of control, both with his alcohol consumption and his womanizing," said Purdum. "I think it just became too much for Lucille to take. But they always stayed connected. They never stopped loving each other. Im sure of that But I think all the pressures they faced would be a big burden on anybody. And I think that burden was reflected in their lives."According to the book, some of the couples friends claimed that the final straw for Ball came when she found Arnaz "with two hookers" in their guesthouse. Ball told some confidantes that it was she who sought the divorce.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS"She always knew or suspected that he had been unfaithful to her but it was private," said Purdum. "Lucille didnt like it, but I think she could sort of tolerate it [But] then it became very public. It was written about in the tabloids when Desi got arrested for weaving drunkenly down a street in Hollywood, in a neighborhood of brothels. I think it just became overwhelming for her and too much to take in public.""I think she was also worried about the toll that their fighting was taking on the children. She said at one point that the children had seen and heard too much of the tension between their parents. She decided that it would be better for the children to come from a broken home than to live in one."Arnaz and Balls children told Purdum that they knew their parents loved them and did the best they could."They are both aware of how their parents fell short," said Purdum. "They also understand that it must have been very complicated to live in that reality."Arnaz and Ball called it quits in 1960. Both went on to remarry, with Ball tying the knot with Gary Morton in 1961 and Arnaz to Edith Mack Hirsch in 1963."He had a happy marriage to Edie, a friend that hed known," said Purdum. "He was not faithful to her either, because thats just the way he seems to have been wired. But I think Lucille was the great love of his life, and he was the great love of her life. They never felt about their second spouses the same way they felt about each other."After Arnaz sought alcohol treatment, he never drank again. But just a year after seeking help, he faced a major blow when he was diagnosed with lung cancer.When he was dying, he and Ball had "long talks" as they reminisced about the past. Their last words to each other were "I love you," on Nov. 30, 1986, which would have been their 46th wedding anniversary.Two days later, Arnaz passed away."He got better too late," said Purdum. "I think thats one of the things thats very sad about the last part of his story. He did finally have the courage to face some of his problems, but not in time to save his life.""To his children, Desi was a complicated, but very loving, talented, self-taught visionary," said Purdum. "Ricky Ricardo is a wonderful character, and Desi did a good job of playing him, but hes not just some guy who talked funny and played the drums. He was a remarkable figure, and I think thats really worth knowing."

A New York Times guest essay this week said Supermans "overwhelming all-American power" was disturbing, explaining the paradoxical identities associated with the iconic character as an immigrant."In fact, I was something of the neighborhood anti-Superman," MIT professor Junot Diaz wrote in the New York Times, reflecting on his childhood."Always ready to inveigh against the Last Son of Krypton, always ready with long arguments laying out why he was dumb. What can I say?"Diaz, a native of the Dominican Republic who teaches creative writing, should have "fallen hard for Superman," as someone in a country that spoke English, while living with a Spanish-speaking family in an apartment. Maintaining three identities, Diaz feels that Superman does not represent him, although the superhero shares a similar experience to immigrants in America."From Day 1, dude just rubbed me the wrong way. There was the obvious stuff, like how goofy Superman was as a hero, how ridiculously dated his star-spangled patriotism was Supes loved a country Idnever seen. My landfill America was way more supervillain territory," he said.'SUPERMAN' DIRECTOR'S BROTHER SAYS ANTI-IMMIGRANT MAGA PEOPLE ARE 'AGAINST THE AMERICAN WAY'"Even his overwhelming all-American power disturbed me. Maybe this was because I had grown up in a country recovering from its very own dictatorial Superman or because my family had, during the 1965 U.S. invasion, experienced firsthand what America could do to people with far less power."Supermans immigrant symbolism does not connect with Diaz, as both the character and the USA contain "many contradictory stories.""You would think Supermans immigrant/refugee background would have represented a point of connection, but even that rankled me," he wrote.Diaz argued that 2025 was "an awkward time for a peace-loving refugee American like Superman to return to us. According to the professor, "We are in a time when someone like Clark Kent, an undocumented liberal-leaning journalist, could easily be scooped up by masked, unidentified government goons. Beaten, imprisoned and even deported to Sudan or Jarhanpur without due process."The character, first introduced in 1938, was born from the imagination of writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster in Cleveland, Ohio. Both came from immigrant families. In the comics, Superman is the sole survivor of the planet Krypton, sent to Earth by his parents as their world faced destruction.'SUPERMAN' DIRECTOR REVEALS REBOOT WILL TACKLE POLITICS AND KINDNESS, TELLS 'JERKS' TO 'SCREW' OFFThe character is getting a new cinematic treatment.The film, directed by James Gunn, hit theaters on Friday. It is intended to launch a new cinematic universe for the DC franchise. Actor David Corenswet stars as the new Superman, with Rachel Brosnahan playing Lois Lane.Diaz nor Gunn immediately responded to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

A growing wall of flowers and photographs honoring the victims of last weekends deadly floods has been taking shape in Kerrville over the last 72 hours a powerful expression of collective grief as locals struggle to come to terms with the immense scale of the tragedy.While search and rescue operations continue and helicopters buzz overhead, this roadside memorial has become a solemn gathering point for reflection, remembrance and shared sorrow. The photographs put a face to each victim and the flowers represent their lives.A sign reading "River of Angels" pinned to the rail has given the memorial its unofficial title, a name that gently captures the weight of loss that has transpired here. Kerr County was hit the hardest, with at least 100 deaths and more than 160 still missing.FAITH BRINGS LIGHT TO DEVASTATED TEXAS TOWN AFTER DEADLY FLOODING DISASTERThe memorial was started by Leo Soto, who traveled from Miami to lay the first flowers. His Wall of Hope non-profit has been erecting memorials since the Surfside condo building collapse in Miami in 2021."It's a place that has become really special... I let the community know that this was taking place and within hours there were dozens and dozens of people helping us to attach the flowers surrounding the pictures of the victims," Soto said of the Kerrville memorial."Since then, people have been bringing teddy bears, children have been bringing drawings, people have been bringing balloons, they're bringing their own flowers. It's become a really powerful place for the community to begin to heal and to just spread some love in the air in a place that badly needs it."The River of Angels sign, he added, was placed later by someone he doesnt know a reflection of how the memorial has taken on a life of its own after Soto laid its foundations.The scene was at times overwhelming. In one particularly raw moment, a woman studying the photographs let out a sudden shriek. She had apparently recognized a face on the display but had not realized the person was among the deceased.Visibly shaken, she stumbled away from the fence, crouched down near the curb and made a call on her cell phone, tears streaming down her face that were etched in pain.Carolyn Miller, a longtime Texas resident, was overcome with emotion too as she spoke of her immense sorrow."The grief, its devastating, and not just now," Miller said. "It will be devastating for years. Some people may never be found. Theres just so much debris, silt in the water, its unbearable.""Whats happened is absolutely heartbreaking to everyone here. I mean, the outpouring of support is unbelievable. I went out to find a place to help clean up but there were so many volunteers already so I brought cleaning supplies. I brought flowers. And Ive cried way too many tears."She said the resilience of Texans and people across the country has been unshakable."Texas Strong. Hill Country Proud," Miller said.Some were too upset to speak.Anne Lowery, a lifelong Kerrville resident who experienced previous flooding disasters in the area, said nothing compares to last weeks deluge of rain."This is way worse than the 1987 flood. The amount of water and just the people it wiped out. Its tragic," Lowery said. "Its just overwhelming sadness. I have a home and everythings okay in it. And when I get up and go to the kitchen and wash the dishes or something, I just feel like I did nothing. And its like I want to do something. I want to help."Lowery, like many others, spoke fondly of Kervillle Tivy coach Reece Zunker, who died along with his wife. Their two sons are reportedly still missing."I knew the coach he taught both my grandsons in soccer. Everybody loved him. His whole family."POLICE SAY 'SIGHTSEERS' HINDERING TEXAS RECOVERY EFFORTS AS TEAMS SEARCH FOR VICTIMS IN DEBRISMadison Boner, a local high school student, said Zunker helped her overcome her lack of confidence."He was a great teacher. I had him for construction but he also taught robotics and soccer," Boner said. "He was super encouraging and nice. I was always real shy, so sometimes he would have to make me speak my mind.""Like he would say, Hey, can you tell the other students what to do today? because he wanted me to find my voice. He wanted the best future for all of his students."Boner said Zunker was supposed to teach her for another three years but instead wouldn't make it to the new school year, like other victims."These people these are our community. Some kids are gonna go back to school and just have to sit there like, Shes not here. Its heartbreaking. This took people. You cant reverse it."For many, turning to faith brings some comfort.Bishop Julian Dobbs of the St. Michael and All Angels Church in Kerrville was at the memorial too and said his church has been offering prayer and presence to first responders and victims. He, along with Bishop Marc Steele, encouraged people to gather for worship and to find hope in the power of faith in tragedy."How can you not look at those photographs and realize that every single human being every life, young and old is precious and sacred?" Dobbs said. "These were beautiful people, just living their lives, serving one another and in one moment, their lives were snuffed out. Their families changed forever."Dobbs said that one of his pastors was lucky to get out with his life as his rector was completely destroyed, while other members of the church had a family member who was killed."There are still considerable numbers of people who are yet to be found, who are missing, so this community has changed forever," Dobbs said."This is a time to gather around what is the focus of the Christian faith the hope that Jesus brings us gather to worship Him and receive the support of each other."

CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS"I believe that if you can do just small little things, like I walk a lot more than I ever used to, I stretch a lot more just because I want to stay pliable, so if I reach for something, my back won't go and I do more weight. Light weights, and then some days I do heavy weights. Two days a week, I do about seven and a half to 10 pounds in each hand. So I kind of have increased my weight training program to be strong, be fit, because now we know through research that those muscles work miracles on your metabolism, and they keep you young. They also fight osteoporosis so we can live longer but better. And that's what my vision is for people to live longer, but also live better," she said.Along with a fitness routine, Austin relies on getting a "good night's rest" every night, drinking plenty of water and never skipping a meal.WATCH: Denise Austin's secret to rocking a bikini better at 68 than her 30s"I try to go to bed around 10 and wake up around 6 a.m. That is really important. Sleep helps your brain health, helps your beauty, and gives you energy. But also, I drink lots of water during the day. I truly don't skip meals.

A woman recently vented her frustrations over a food-related family conflict to millions of people on the internet, leading to a flurry of reactions.On Reddit's 24 million-strong "Am I the a--hole" community, a woman shared an incident involving her sister in a post that received some 16,000 upvotes.The woman said her sister moved in with her after experiencing a difficult break-up. She brought along her two children, ages 7 and 4.WOMAN DRINKING WINE TEACHES PUSHY MOTHER A LESSON AFTER FAMILY TRIES TO INTERVENE"When my sister moved in, I realized quickly that she liked to sleep in," the Redditor said."Some days she was up as late as 1 p.m. I gave her the benefit of the doubt since I knew how hard her break-up was for her."An issue arose, however, when the snoozing sister neglected to feed her own children leaving the burden to the Reddit poster."I got into a routine with my niece and nephew that basically whatever I cooked myself for breakfast, I'd make enough for them as well until the other morning," she said.WOMAN WHO FINDS MEAL PREP 'EXHAUSTING' SLAMMED FOR NOT COOKING 'FANCIER' FOODS"I woke up and had an urge to make huevos rancheros. The kids immediately started complaining that they didn't want that and wanted something different."She added, "I was nice and ended up making them pancakes since it's not their fault their mom is really struggling."The next day, the children complained that they didn't want to eat breakfast potatoes and eggs and demanded a new dish, according to the woman's post.They complained yet again the next day finally pushing the woman to her limits.WOMAN GOES VIRAL ON REDDIT FOR CALLING OUT HUSBAND'S LAST-MINUTE PARTY DEMANDS"Finally, after three mornings of my unwanted food critics getting a separate meal, I finally told them, 'I'm no longer cooking two different meals for breakfast,'' the Reddit user wrote."'If you don't like what I'm making, go ask your mom to get up and do it,'" she said she told them.Even after the children woke up their sleeping mom that morning, she didn't come downstairs until 1 p.m. leading to even more complaints from the children.The sister was angry, the poster said. "She started in about how they need to be fed by a certain time and a bunch of other things that she said to try and intentionally hurt me."The Redditor admitted that she "snapped" and told her sister to "wake up and take care of your f---ing kids instead of expecting me to do it."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERThe user concluded, "She got quiet after that and is still giving me the cold shoulder, but I know she's expecting me to apologize."Most of the comments posted about the situation were supportive of the poster."Sleeping till 1 p.m. means she's missing their breakfast AND lunch," the top comment read. "[Kids at] ages 7 and 4 are still pretty dependent on an adult for balanced meals. Your sister is lame."For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyleSaid another person, "I'm assuming she is not paying rent or helping you with any expenses - she is just lying around sleeping? You should have a serious sit-down with her and stop all of this crap right now."Fox News Digital spoke with Texas-based etiquette expert Pat Durham for insights into the Reddit thread."The poster was very gracious in extending the degree of hospitality that was extended," Durham noted.The civility consultant added that the situation "goes way beyond etiquette." She called it a boundary issue."The mother needs medical intervention, at the very least," Durham advised. "Counseling is desperately needed.""The responses are on the right track," she added. "There are numerous profound issues at play here."

An Arizona farmer is pushing for a more functional approach to the hiring of skilled labor in agriculture amid President Donald Trumps border crackdown, telling Fox News Digital that the current system is sowing fear among Hispanic workers.During a visit to the remote, mountainous landscape of Dudleyville, Ariz., farmer Scott Heartquist expressed a desire for more collaboration between business owners, workers, and immigration authorities to find practical solutions that address labor needs while also upholding the law of the United States."There's a humanitarian side that everybodys like, I feel for them," Heartquist said, referencing skilled workers looking to enter the country. "And I even understand that our system isn't set up for them to easily come in."TRUMP PITCHES PLAN ALLOWING FARMERS TO VOUCH FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT WORKERS FACING DEPORTATIONWhile some farmers have experienced issues with migrants trespassing on or stealing from their properties, Heartquist said his personal relationship with and support for the Hispanic community has allowed him to run his business without issue."Immigration is such a touchy subject and, you know, we were just talking about it my staff. Theyre all legal, but a good portion of the people in the community arent. And so, we see it, we have it around. We have much less of an issue with it now," he continued.The family farm began on a small piece of land in Arizona. After surviving bone cancer, Scott Heartquists wife, Christie, worked with her husband to teach their children where their food comes from by growing and raising a healthy meat supply.The family operates its own inspected processing plant at the ranch, providing hormone-free, steroid-free, vaccine-free, and antibiotic-free grass-fed and grass-finished beef, pork, and lamb to locals.The Heartquist family has cultivated not just a solid business but also a close-knit commune. Several family members and staff live on the Heartquist Hollow Farm property in Dudleyville often sharing fresh meals and stories after a hard days work.TRUMP 'WORKING ON' DEPORTATION EXEMPTIONS FOR ILLEGAL FARM AND HOSPITALITY WORKERSDuring a warm summer's evening dinner, Sal Mrquez, a butcher at the farm, said he is thankful that the family has provided good working conditions and strong benefits to their immigrant workers.Mrquez also praised God for allowing his daughter to flourish as a citizen in the U.S. a milestone that helped him and his wife obtain permanent residency three years ago."My friends say that you earn very well here. So, you risk coming here illegally because it's the American dream. Its the American dream. And everyone is going to take a risk. Before, it was easy, now its not easy," he told Fox News Digital.He also recommended that immigrants explore legal pathways to come to the U.S., such as work visas for farm jobs, rather than trying to enter illegally stressing that the current political climate has heightened concerns among both documented and undocumented Hispanic workers.CRITICS SOUND OFF AGAINST TRUMP'S 'TEMPORARY PASS' FOR MIGRANT FARM, HOSPITALITY WORKERS"You hear a lot of things about the new administration," Mrquez said. "We are, and the people are, very scared. Because I have friends and family who, unfortunately, do not have documents yet. So right now, there is a lot of fear with this administration that people do not want to go out to the stores."A combination of factors including labor shortages for meat cutters and the cumbersome process of obtaining visas has made it difficult for the Heartquists to hire workers with the skill set needed to provide the community with a wide range of grass-fed, pasture-raised meats.Heartquist claimed that many of these issues stem from the Obama administration."You had some abuses going on in some areas, and instead of dealing with the individual abuses, they just cut visas. And so, they made it more challenging for us to get the visas," he said.TRUMP URGES 'TEMPORARY PASS' FROM IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN FOR KEY INDUSTRIES: 'I CHERISH OUR FARMERS'"I can tell you right now, there are 16-and-17-year-olds in Mexico and Central America that are cutting meat. To be able to bring them in, give them more training, teach them food safety issues, and all of those pieces would be amazing. We just cant. Its not built into our system," Heartquist continued.Without a more robust system and discussions about the potential to bring in workers from other countries to fill these labor needs, Heartquist predicted that immigration issues will continue to proliferate."We're going to have mass deportations that are going to happen right now. The administration will change in three years," he said. "Maybe itll still be strict on the border, maybe it wont, and so well have another onslaught, another flood of people coming in. The problem that we face is... Theres a small portion of that community thats really just not good people, and it gets bled out onto the whole community and thats not fair."
