| Fans complain that Emmy Awards snubbed Queen Elizabeth II from 'In Memoriam' segment | |
| Sep 13, 2022 | |
| The Emmy Awards surprised viewers by apparently omitting Queen Elizabeth II from its "In Memoriam" segment on Monday night. The death of Queen Elizabeth, who passed away last week at the age of 96, lead to an outpouring of grief and tributes from across the world. Fans expected a shout-out of the high-profile death, especially considering the popularity of Netflix's "The Crown" show. But fans took to social media to complain that the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards did not honor the queen during their "In Memoriam" ceremony. "They forgot Queen Elizabeth #Emmys" one viewer said after the segment. "The in memoriam section didn’t feature Queen Elizabeth, even after all she’s done for Olivia Colman," another viewer wrote. Multiple actors were honored during the remembrance ceremony, which featured a performance by John Legend. Big-name decedents included Anne Heche, Paul Sorvino, James Caan, Ray Liotta, and Sidney Poitier. Comedians Bob Saget, Gilbert Gottfried and Betty White were also honored. Fans also reported that "Saturday Night Live" comedian Norm MacDonald was also omitted from the ceremony, along with "Grease" star Olivia Newton-John. While neither were included during the television broadcast, both names appeared on the Emmy's "In Memoriam" webpage. A spokesperson for the Emmys told Fox News Digital that Newton-John was featured in the Creative Arts "In Memoriam" category that honors music and composers. EMMYS 2022: COMPLETE LIST OF WINNERS "The Crown", a historical drama about the life of Queen Elizabeth II, has won 10 Emmy Awards since 2017. Its highly-acclaimed fourth season, featuring Olivia Colman as Queen Elizabeth and Gillian Anderson as Margaret Thatcher, won Best Outstanding Drama Series in 2021. The series also swept the drama category's acting awards for Outstanding Lead Actress, Outstanding Lead Actor, Outstanding Supporting Actor and Outstanding Supporting Actress. The period drama did not receive any nominations or wins this year, as its fifth season has not been released. | |

| Democrats meddle in another key GOP primary, but this time Republican PAC spend big to offset their effort | |
| Sep 13, 2022 | |
| Democrats are once again interfering in a GOP primary election, meddling in New Hampshire's Senate race to boost the candidate they view as easier to beat in the general election, but this time a Republican group is spending on the airwaves to offset the Democrats' gamble. According to reports, the Sen. Chuck Schumer-aligned Senate Majority PAC is expected to spend around $3.5 million to help secure a primary win for Republican candidate Don Bolduc, who is largely viewed as the weaker general election candidate to take on Senator Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., who is seeking re-election this fall. While the Democrats are spending big to help Bolduc, Republicans are hoping to offset the Democrats' strategy by spending millions to run ads against him to help boost his rival GOP candidate, state Senator Chuck Morse, who is viewed by many as a more competitive general election candidate for the Republicans. "Bolduc lost his first race. He accused President Trump's team of election rigging and said no person of honor could work for Trump," reads an ad from the Sen. Mitch McConnell-linked White Mountain PAC. "Bolduc endorsed Joe Biden's disastrous withdraw from Afghanistan and said the U. S. Should team up with the Taliban. Don Bolduc even accused Governor Sununu of being a Chinese communist sympathizer and a supporter of terrorism. Don Bolduc's crazy ideas won't help us defeat Maggie Hassan," the ad continued. A different McConnell-linked group, Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) announced last week that it plans to spend $23 million in the Granite State senate race this fall. "Maggie Hassan's weak record of rubber-stamping Joe Biden's inflationary spending and taxes has hurt Granite Staters, and they know it. This is a top-tier pickup opportunity for us, putting the Senate majority within reach," SLF President Steven Law recently told Fox News. Democrats meddling in GOP primaries is not a new strategy this cycle. Democrats have already poured tens of millions into GOP primaries to promote in many cases candidates that Democrats argue are a threat to democracy. In May, Trump-backed Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano was boosted to victory in the state's Republican gubernatorial primary with more than $840,000 in ads run by the campaign of his now-opponent, current Democrat state Attorney General Josh Shapiro. In July, the Democratic Governors' Association spent nearly $2 million running ads boosting Trump-backed Maryland Republican gubernatorial nominee Dan Cox, in his primary against former state lawmaker Kelly Schulz, who was backed by outgoing Republican Gov. Larry Hogan. New Hampshire's primary election will take place on Tuesday, September 13, 2022. Fox News' Paul Steinhauser and Brandon Gillespie contributed to this report. | |

| Iconic French director Jean-Luc Godard dies at age 91 | |
| Sep 13, 2022 | |
| Jean-Luc Godard, the French-Swiss director who pioneered the French New Wave film movement in the 1960s, died at the age of 91. News of his death was confirmed by French media on Tuesday morning. Godard is known as a significant figure in the French New Wave movement. The movement, which differed from previous film styles, integrated experimentation with editing techniques and emphasized realism in storytelling. Godard's debut film À bout de souffle (Breathless) launched his reputation of being one of the world’s most vital and provocative directors in Europe and beyond. STANLEY KUBRICK'S LOST SCREENPLAY 'BURNING SECRET' FOUND AFTER 62 YEARS His films propelled Jean-Paul Belmondo to stardom. Godard's controversial modern nativity play "Hail Mary" grabbed headlines when Pope John Paul II denounced it in 1985. Godard also collaborated with iconic French actress Brigitte Bardot in 1963 with the film Le Mépris (Contempt). BRIGITTE BARDOT FINED BY FRENCH COURT FOR CALLING LA REUNION ISLANDERS ‘DEGENERATE SAVAGES’ Godard married actress Anna Karina in 1961, who starred in several of his films. After the couple was divorced in 1965, he married Anne Wiazemensky. The iconic director inspired a countless number of filmmakers including Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese and Steven Soderbergh.

| Biden's VA undermining law that gives veterans access to private health care | |
| Sep 13, 2022 | |
| Sometime in 2021, the Department of Veterans Affairs took down a popular link on its website that explained how veterans can access medical care in the private sector under a law known as the Mission Act. The law was the latest congressional response to the scandal that erupted in 2014, when Veterans Affairs facilities across the country were found to be manipulating data to make it look like veterans were receiving timely care. In reality, veterans were waiting months to be seen by their doctors, and federal investigators said those delays contributed to their deaths. The Mission Act sought to remedy the problem by allowing veterans to seek care outside VA for a broad range of reasons – including when wait times are too long at VA – and making VA pay for that coverage. When the law first took effect in 2019, VA created a MissionAct.Va.Gov link to educate veterans about their options, explain eligibility requirements and provide links to community health providers. But in the late summer or early fall of 2021, that link suddenly directed veterans to a page called "Choose VA," which encouraged veterans to use VA for their health care. VA also buried the link – it’s no longer visible on the front page or the main health care page. VETERANS CONFRONT VULNERABLE NJ DEM AT TOWN HALL: ‘ARE YOU HELPING ME? NO.’ VA declined to answer specific questions from Fox News Digital about when or why the link was changed to steer veterans toward VA care, and insisted VA remains committed to implementing the law. "VA is laser-focused on getting Veterans access to the best possible health care, whether that comes directly from VA or from the community," said VA Press Secretary Terrence Hayes, who added that all the information veterans need to use the Mission Act is still online on its community care page. "As a part of that effort, VA continues to implement the Mission Act faithfully, transparently and in its entirety." But those who worked to implement the Mission Act say the website change was the first shot fired in the Biden administration’s campaign to thwart the law, and that VA has taken several steps since then to steer veterans away from exploring private sector care. "The Mission Act represents the ability to choose something other than VA, and they took it down," said Darin Selnick, a senior adviser to Concerned Veterans for America and former top adviser to VA Secretaries David Shulkin and Robert Wilkie. Selnick said the remaining information about the Mission Act is much more difficult for veterans to locate and is a far cry from explicit language in the Mission Act that requires VA to educate veterans about their new choices. "All they want you to be able to do is to choose VA care," he said. DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS TO OFFER ABORTIONS TO VETERANS IN CERTAIN CASES Selnick and others say VA’s opposition to the law has only become clearer since the Mission Act link was turned into a "Choose VA" tool. In October 2021, VA announced it would close the Office of Community Care and start designing a "new integrated access and care coordination model." VA’s vague announcement worried veterans’ groups and lawmakers, who suspected it would make it easier for VA to downplay and dismantle the Mission Act. Later in 2021, some of those suspicions were confirmed as complaints from veterans about wait times began to pile up. At about the same time, the Americans for Prosperity Foundation sued VA under the Freedom of Information Act for information about its implementation of the Mission Act and found evidence that VA was still playing around with patient wait-time data. For example, current Mission Act regulations say a veteran is eligible for care outside VA if wait times at their VA facility are longer than 20 days for primary and mental health care or 28 days for specialty care. But FOIA documents showed that VA is not starting the clock when a veteran asks for an appointment and instead is using a date set by VA schedulers, which means veterans are waiting longer for appointments than indicated by official VA data. 9/11 ANNIVERSARY MAKES IT EASY FOR VETERANS TO REMEMBER WHY WE WERE IN AFGHANISTAN A USA Today report in November confirmed other complaints that VA bureaucrats are getting in the way of medical decisions to seek community care. The Mission Act says veterans are eligible for community care whenever it’s in their best interest, but USA Today found that VA quashed at least one veteran’s effort to seek outside medical care by ruling that doing so was not "clinically appropriate." As the complaints mounted, lawmakers geared up to protect the Mission Act. Senators Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., and Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., introduced legislation in early 2022 that would take VA out of the business of referring veterans to community care and allow veterans to make that choice on their own. "In Tennessee, I have heard from countless veterans about their frustrations with how the VA is running the community care program," Blackburn said in February. "My legislation will cut out the middleman and make it easier for veterans to see a doctor." But by the summer of 2022, VA doubled down and started to acknowledge openly that it was seeking to pare back veteran choice under the Mission Act. In a June 14 hearing at the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee, VA Secretary Denis McDonough was asked about the department’s effort to change access standards for using private care as part of a three-year review of the law. McDonough replied that demand for health care "has increased more intensively for care in the community than for care in the direct system," said community care now accounts for one-third of all care that goes through the VA. He said that’s a "high number," and added that he was already "worried" in 2021 when community care was about one-quarter of all care delivered through VA. McDonough’s comment seems to go against the statement from his own spokesman who said VA wants the best care possible for veterans "whether that comes directly from VA or from the community." But McDonough went further by telling senators that "my hunch is that we should change access standards," a strong indication that VA will propose making it more difficult for veterans to qualify for community care. FLORIDA VETERANS EMPOWERED TO BEGIN NEXT TOUR OF DUTY IN THE CLASSROOM A month later in the House, Acting Deputy Undersecretary for Health Miguel LaPuz explained why VA wants to limit veterans’ access to the private sector. In written testimony to the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee, LaPuz said VA’s training, research and other missions are threatened by the popularity of getting care outside the VA system. "Even in the absence of resource constraints, if the balance of care provided in the community continues on its current upward trajectory, we anticipate that certain VA medical facilities, particularly those in rural areas, may not be able to sustain sufficient workload to operate in their current capacity," LaPuz said. The next few weeks may determine whether Congress needs to step in again to shore up a law that had wide support among both Republicans and Democrats. The Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee is planning a late September hearing where it might finally hear VA’s plans for changing access standards for veterans. One congressional aide told Fox News Digital that many staffers believe VA is more worried about its own fiscal health than it is about the health of its patients, and it wants more control over the money Congress appropriates. "The bottom line is justifying a budget increase year-over-year," the aide said. If VA does impose new hurdles to using the Mission Act, it could set up a new push for Congress to tweak the law, something that could happen if Republicans take control of the House and Senate. "VA thinks it’s better for sick veterans to stay at their facilities and wait rather than allowing them to seek out care with the best providers in the world," the aide said. "In our eyes, a veteran should be able to go wherever they can, regardless of what VA says." | |

| Liberal Chicago city councilmember decries intense crime wave: 'A joke' | |
| Sep 13, 2022 | |
| A liberal Chicago alderman decried the Windy City's crime wave on Monday night – and even questioned the usefulness of calling police. George Cardenas, a Democrat, is Alderman of Chicago's 12th Ward. He was appointed as deputy floor leader in Chicago's City Council by Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot in February 2021. However, his loyalties to Lightfoot did not preclude him from lambasting the uptick of crime in Chicago. "Public safety in Chicago is a joke," George Cardenas wrote on Twitter on Monday night. "Why bother calling [the] Police." ILLINOIS OFFICIALS SEND 90 MIGRANTS TO ANOTHER SUBURBAN CHICAGO TOWN WITH LITTLE NOTICE The alderman was responding an article about a recent mugging, in which a car full of thieves robbed a 30-year-old man at gunpoint. The suspected robbers were able to get away from Chicago police after a CPD supervisor advised authorities to stop chasing them. Cardenas' comments come as Chicago experiences a rampant crime wave. A recent disturbing video shows a woman in Chicago's North Side screaming while being tackled and robbed at gunpoint. A recent report predicted that Chicago carjackings in 2022 will be 6 times as high as it was in 2014. Cardenas is expected to step down from his City Council seat as he runs for the Cook County Board of Review this November. | |

| LA Times op-ed claims America 'fueled the rise of Nazism and the Holocaust' | |
| Sep 13, 2022 | |
| The Los Angeles Times spotlighted a piece that chastised America for fueling the rise of Nazis and the Holocaust several decades prior. In the Sunday op-ed titled "Americans fueled the rise of Nazis and the Holocaust. Will we learn from that shameful chapter?" filmmakers Ken Burns, Lynn Novick and Sarah Botstein described their research while producing a documentary about the U.S. and the Holocaust. Their findings, they claimed, provided "parallels" to "dark moments in our history," including the lead up to World War II. "Today, in America, we stand at a peculiar and frightening crossroads," they began. "We are witnessing the rising appeal of authoritarianism abroad and at home, we are bombarded by social media outlets that spread divisive falsehoods and hatred, and, a mere two months before midterm elections, we find our democracy itself under attack." They described the current period as "a time when many Americans cling to blind and unexamined notions of the nation’s 'greatness' yet lash out at schools and teachers, fearing what a thoughtful look at our country’s history might uncover." "Our country faced a similar crisis of belief in the lead-up to World War II, a period marked by a swell of homegrown, right-wing extremism, isolationism, xenophobia and racism. These impulses reflected fundamental challenges within a society that had not yet resolved the contradictions of its own self-image," they wrote. More specifically, they claimed that German Nazis used the U.S. as "a societal prototype that embraced racism and exclusion" in their attempts to subjugate the Jewish population, pointing to the Jim Crow South. In addition, they explained that although the U.S. took in more refugees than any other nation at the time, it was only a "fraction" of what the country could have taken, blaming restrictive immigration policies at the time. DEMOCRATIC ADVISER ON MSNBC MAKES ‘NAZI GERMANY’ COMPARISON FOR REPUBLICANS "Despite our ultimate victory on the battlefield, our response to Nazism was hindered by our own fears and prejudices, an indictment that points blame at no single group or individual but should give all of us reason to reflect on our collective responsibility and what we might do differently in the future," they wrote. Liberal media pundits have attempted to compare the Holocaust to modern political issues despite criticism from survivor groups. In January, an MSNBC historian compared the Jan. 6 Capitol riots to the Holocaust or World War II, likening that January 6, 2021 date to December 7, 1941. MSNBC HOST: TRUMP’S ‘LOYALTY’ COMMENT ‘EXACTLY’ LIKE GERMAN ATTACKS ON JEWS Burns, Novick and Botstein closed their piece by calling on Americans to have the "courage" to teach America's "entire history." CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP "Do Americans today have the courage to look at the mistakes of our past for the sake of our improvement? Courage, in this case, includes our willingness to teach our entire history, to confront the difficult along with celebrating the positive. Courage would mean recognizing that those less fortunate, at home and abroad, are not a threat to our existence but people in search of something better for their families, whether that is security or economic opportunity," they wrote. | |
