| Fox News - Latest Headlines | | | | Former ICE director blasts Kamala Harris' border claim: 'Everyone knows they're lying' | | Sep 12, 2022 | | Former Acting ICE Director Jonathan Fahey called out VP Kamala Harris on ‘Fox & Friends First’ Monday for claiming the southern border is secure despite thousands of illegal immigrants entering the U.S. each day. KAMALA HARRIS DECLARES ‘BORDER IS SECURE’ AS THOUSANDS OF ILLEGALS FLOOD INTO US EVERY DAY JONATHAN FAHEY: Everyone knows they're lying about it. And maybe they're hoping when she's on 'Meet the Press' or one of these shows that maybe the people watching that show are not aware of the issue; they will believe her because there's not a lot of broader coverage of the issue. But it really is bizarre because it's so obviously not true. And remember, a year and a half ago, her issue was working on the root causes of illegal immigration, which at that point I think was the bad weather in Guatemala, you know, just complete nonsense. And just to come out here and say our border is secure is an insult to the American people, an insult to our Border Patrol agents, our law enforcement agents that know it's not true, and they know it's not true because of the administration's policies encouraging massive illegal immigration prohibiting them from enforcing our border, from preventing drugs from coming in, and for enforcing our national security to a level to keep us safe.

The third-year star set a single-game career high 184 receiving yards on nine receptions with two touchdown catches as the Vikings slapped the Packers 23-7. It was the first victory for first-year head coach Kevin O’Connell and a good way to start the year. Jefferson talked to FOX’s Tom Rinaldi after the game was over and was asked what was working well for the Vikings in the game to have him produce the game he had.

We knew we had to get done learning the new plays but glad to be with this team. We have some players on this team, man." Jefferson was clear when asked what message the win sent to the rest of the NFL. GIANTS SHOCK TITANS TO SNAP WEEK 1 LOSING STREAK "A lot of people, stop doubting us man. We know what it’s been in the past. But that’s the past. We have some new players in the building, new coaches in the building – new system. We coming for it for sure," he said. Jefferson has come on the scene as one of the most electrifying wide receivers in the NFL, and he is back to build off an incredible 2021 season in which he had 108 catches for 1,616 yards and 10 touchdowns. Kirk Cousins, who was 23-for-32 with 277 passing yards and two touchdowns, praised the game plan for the win. "No secret. No certain formula. Just letting our coaches have a good plan to start the game, put us in a position to be successful, and just executing," Cousins said, via the team’s website. "The plays are running together right now. It's all running together. But I just know we started fast, and that helps at home Week 1 to get your crowd going." | | | | | Trump lawyers oppose DOJ request to continue to use classified docs seized by FBI during investigation | | Sep 12, 2022 | | Former President Trump’s legal team opposed the Justice Department’s motion to continue its review of classified documents seized by the FBI during its raid of Mar-a-Lago last month, slamming the entire investigation as "unprecedented and misguided," and one that has "spiraled out of control," while stressing that the government has not yet proven that the records "remain classified." In a filing Monday morning, Trump’s legal team said the Justice Department is seeking to "limit the scope of any review of its investigative conduct and presuppose the outcome, at least in regard to what it deems are ‘classified records.’" The Justice Department last week informed the court that it would appeal the ruling from U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon for the appointment of a special master and would move for a "partial stay" pending its appeal—specifically regarding her order blocking the government from its review of the records seized that were marked classified. DOJ, TRUMP LAWYERS SUBMIT CHOICES FOR MAR-A-LAGO RAID SPECIAL MASTER, SPAR OVER SCOPE "This investigation of the 45th President of the United States is both unprecedented and misguided," Trump’s lawyers said in the filing. "In what at its core is a document storage dispute that has spiraled out of control, the Government wrongfully seeks to criminalize the possession by the 45th President of his own Presidential and personal records." Trump’s legal team added that the court’s order "is a sensible preliminary step towards restoring order from chaos." "The Government should therefore not be permitted to skip the process and proceed straight to a preordained conclusion," they wrote. In the judge’s initial order for the appointment of a special master, Cannon ruled that the special master would be responsible to review the seized property for "personal items and documents and potentially privileged material subject to claims of attorney-client and/or executive privilege." Cannon, though, said the order "shall not impede the classification review and/or intelligence assessment by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence ("ODNI") as described in the Government’s Notice of Receipt of Preliminary Order." Trump’s legal team argued that the Justice Department has "misinterpreted" the order, and said there is "no indication any purported ‘classified records’ were disclosed to anyone." DOJ WILL APPEAL JUDGE ORDER TO APPOINT SPECIAL MASTER TO REVIEW RECORDS SEIZED BY FBI FROM TRUMP'S MAR-A-LAGO "Indeed, it appears such ‘classified records,’ along with the other seized materials, were principally located in storage boxes in a locked room at Mar-a-Lago, a secure, controlled access compound utilized regularly to conduct the official business of the United States during the Trump Presidency, which to this day is monitored by the United States Secret Service," Trump’s lawyers said. They went on to argue that the Presidential Records Act (PRA) gives any president "extraordinary discretion to categorize all his or her records as either Presidential or personal records, and established case law provides for very limited judicial oversight over such categorization." "The PRA further contains no provision authorizing or allowing for any criminal enforcement," Trump’s lawyers wrote, adding that the law, instead, "disputes regarding the disposition of any Presidential record are to be resolved between such President and the National Archives and Records Administration ("NARA")." Trump’s legal team argued that the government "at best" may be able to establish that certain presidential records "should be returned to NARA." "What is clear regarding all of the seized materials is that they belong with either President Trump (as his personal property to be returned pursuant to Rule 41(g)) or with NARA, but not with the Department of Justice," his lawyers wrote. "President Trump clearly has an individual interest in and need for the seized property," they continued. "The record reflects the material seized from President Trump’s home includes not just ‘personal effects without evidentiary value’ but also approximately five hundred pages of material that is likely subject to attorney-client privilege, as well as medical documents, and tax and accounting information." TRUMP MEDICAL RECORDS, TAX DOCUMENTS SEIZED IN FBI RAID: JUDGE The Justice Department, in its motion last week, contended that Trump could have no interest in the "purported ‘classified records,’" Trump’s lawyers explained, saying however that the government "has not proven that these records remain classified." "That issue is to be determined later," Trump’s lawyers said. "Moreover, under the PRA, President Trump has specified rights to restrict access to his Presidential records…and an absolute right to access (or have his designee access) those Presidential records," his lawyers continued. "These rights accord President Trump a sufficient interest in all of the seized materials." They added: "Indeed, as developed below, President Trump's categorization of records during his term was within his sole discretion." Trump and his team have been disputing the classification and believe the information and records to have been declassified. Meanwhile, the Justice Department and Trump's legal team submitted their preferred candidates to serve as an independent special master to review the records, but the two sides disagree on the scope of duties that person would have. The Justice Department submitted the names of two retired judges on Friday. The first judge, Barbara Jones, served on the federal bench in Manhattan and served as special master in high profile cases involving Rudy Giuliani and Michael Cohen. The second, Thomas Griffith, is a former federal appeals court jurist in the District of Columbia. FEDERAL JUDGE ORDERS APPOINTMENT OF SPECIAL MASTER TO REVIEW SEIZED TRUMP RECORDS The Trump team proposed one retired judge, Raymond Dearie — also the former top federal prosecutor in the Eastern District of New York — and a prominent Florida lawyer, Paul Huck, Jr. Both parties say they will advise Judge Cannon about their respective positions on the other party’s proposed candidates on Monday, September 12, 2022. If the two sides can not agree on a candidate, Judge Cannon can appoint a candidate on her own. Lawyers for Trump said they believe the so-called special master should review all documents seized by the FBI during its search last month of Mar-a-Lago, including records with classification markings, and filter out any that may be protected by claims of executive privilege. The Justice Department, by contrast, said it does not believe the arbiter should be permitted to inspect classified records or resolve potential claims of executive privilege. | | | | | Washington Post editorial board urges DC Mayor Bowser to take action on bussed migrants from Texas | | Sep 12, 2022 | | The Washington Post editorial board is calling on D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to formulate a long-term plan to help deal with Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s decision to send busses of migrants up to the nation’s capital. The board noted Friday that Bowser, D., has been challenged in recent months to back up her "inspiring words" on the city’s stance on migrants, and now, "better late than never," has unlocked millions in city funds through an emergency declaration. According to the board, the "slow moving crisis" had been created by Republican Govs. Abbott of Texas and Doug Ducey of Arizona, failing to mention how the federal government or the Biden administration may have factored into the situation. However, the board did criticize Bowser’s response to the governors’ "politically effective" maneuver. Bowser, for her part, has previously claimed that mayors are "not responsible for a broken immigration system." TEXAS BUSES TAKING MIGRANTS TO NYC SETS OFF FIRESTORM FROM DEMS, ABBOTT TELLS THEM TO TAKE IT UP WITH BIDEN "That’s not really right. In fact, state and local officials nationwide must accommodate a flow of migrants — in schools, shelters, streets — impelled to seek refuge in the United States by terrible conditions in their countries and the relative security and availability of jobs in this one," the board wrote. Furthermore, the editorial called Bowser’s recent allocation of city funds to provide for the flow of migrants a "smart move," but knocked her for having "dawdled" up until this point. The board also called out the mayor for hoping that the federal government would solve her problems, and left overwhelmed nonprofit groups to deal with the migrants. The board then called on Bowser to cultivate a long-term plan regardless of whether the federal government reimburses the city. "Ms. Bowser didn’t directly ask for this problem. Nonetheless, it’s hers to solve," the editorial concluded. Bowser has twice now requested that the National Guard be activated to assist with thousands of migrants arriving in the nation’s capital. Both requests have been denied by the Pentagon. FIRST TEXAS BUS OF MIGRANTS ARRIVES IN NYC Last week, Bowser's office announced an emergency declaration which will set aside funding to accommodate migrants as well as create the Office of Migrant Services. The OMS will be tasked with providing temporary accommodations, urgent medical needs, transportation and other services for migrants. "We’re putting in place a framework that would allow us to have a coordinated response with our partners," Bowser said Thursday. "This will include a program to meet all buses, and given that most people will move on, our primary focus is to make sure we have a humane, efficient, welcome process that will allow people to move on to their final destination." Abbott has sent dozens of buses filled with border-crossers to Washington, D.C., and New York City in recent months. Abbott argues that border towns in Texas are overwhelmed, and those in power in the liberal-run cities should face the realities of the border crisis.

"In a time when our world has felt so small, so godless, so dark and so lonely, our world grew brighter this past week," Savannah Beddingfield, a mother with the East Henderson Youth Football and Cheerleading League (EHYFCL) in East Flat Rock, North Carolina, told Fox News Digital. "From coast to coast there has been an overwhelming wave of support for not only our league, but our community as well." As Fox News Digital reported on Sept. 4, EHYFCL refused to cave following attacks from some locals for offering the winner of their fundraising raffle an FN 15 Patrol Carbine M-LOK 16", an ArmaLite 15-style rifle with a suggested retail price of $1,299. Football players in the parent-run league are five to 13 years old, and members on the cheer team are ages four to 13, according to the organization. "We kicked off this fundraiser with the expectation that it would raise enough money to purchase a few new shoulder pads, some new padded football pants, which we are in desperate need of, and have enough funds to get us through to next season," Beddingfield said. "What we never expected was for a parent to take her grievances to the local news station instead of having a conversation with us. That is particularly frustrating. We certainly didn't expect to be headline news across the nation." YOUTH FOOTBALL CHEERLEADING LEAGUE IN NORTH CAROLINA TAKES FLAK FOR OFFERING RIFLE IN RAFFLE The parent who took issue with the prize choice, believing it to be inappropriate for a children's league, was quoted anonymously in local media, telling ABC affiliate WLOS, "I was honestly shocked when I received the message that the children were going to be selling an assault rifle because of what’s going on at schools around the country. I thought it was in very bad taste for them to choose a weapon that is being used against children." Beddingfield said the initial stories about the league's raffle were replete with "false headlines, misleading reports and inaccurate information." She added that some articles "took direct quotes from our page and changed our very own words to advance their own narrative." In Fox News Digital's Sept. 4 article about the backlash, Beddingfield explained that the league's raffle was following the law and that the rifle being offered was not even by definition an assault rifle. "Some reports even added information that puts our children in more danger than selling tickets to a legal raffle ever would," Beddingfield continued. "Our practice locations were broadcast in one article, other articles reported us as schools in our area. We've received hate mail, nasty messages, uninformed opinions, pushback and even a local artist thought it would be cute to draw a comic attempting to depict his version of how he thinks this raffle works." NORTH CAROLINA RAFFLE SUSPENDED AFTER OFFERING AR-15 TO RAISE MONEY FOR HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLERS "All of that pales in comparison to the love and encouragement we have seen from across this great nation," Beddingfield said of the support that overwhelmed the league following Fox News Digital's coverage. She said support first started to trickle in from Texas, then the story caught the attention of their neighbors in the Carolinas. Before long, donations and kind messages were flooding in from throughout the U.S. "There are not many states we haven't had at least one person reach out from," she said. "We are so grateful for the blessings that God has provided us through this ridiculous backlash," Beddingfield said. "We have far surpassed our goals, and now have the ability to pass those blessings on to others in need. We have read every message, transaction note and email that has come our way. The supportive messages are coming from both retired and active military personnel, law enforcement officers, firefighters, fellow youth organization leaders, teachers, lawyers, entrepreneurs and grandparents trying to save our backwards society." "They are thanking us for standing our ground, for volunteering our time to support our future, for loving these children, for praying over them; for teaching them to have a backbone, to stand up for what they believe in, to protect our constitutional rights and to not back down to bullying. Everyone wants to talk about bullying, but no one wants to stand up against them. When someone finally does stand up, they are the ones who are punished, not the bully. We've all had enough," Beddingfield continued. "The truly validating thing about this entire experience is that the Second Amendment community is full of heart, compassion, safety, protection, love, honor and respect. The opposition has been disrespectful, hateful, intolerant, uninformed and often downright disgusting. Our young children do not conduct themselves in the manner that these adults have been behaving," she added. | | | | | Terrell rips Los Angeles Democrat whose guns were stolen from home: 'No one feels safe here' | | Sep 12, 2022 | | Fox News contributor Leo Terrell ripped Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif., for claiming she still feels "safe" in the city after her home was burglarized and guns were stolen. Terrell joined "America's Newsroom" to discuss Bass' candidacy to become the next mayor of Los Angeles, saying she will win on her "gender and skin color" since she does not stand for "law and order." USC $95K SCHOLARSHIP FOR LA MAYOR FRONTRUNNER BASS ‘CRITICAL’ TO FEDERAL BRIBERY CASE AGAINST FORMER DEAN LEO TERRELL: Nothing makes sense on this, and you played the earlier clip where she said on a scale of 1 to 10, she feels a ten of being safe. She lives in a different Los Angeles. No one in Los Angeles feels safe here at all. This is a candidate who's not running on law and order. She called for defunding the police. She's never supported law enforcement. She supports Black Lives Matter. Not a peep out of her during the riots of 2020. There's not a sane Democrat who supports law and order … she's going to win not based on policies or competence, she's going to win on gender and skin color. And we saw that disaster, as in the vice presidency in the White House and press secretary. It's the wrong reason to elect this woman as mayor. WATCH THE INTERVIEW FROM "AMERICA'S NEWSROOM" BELOW: | | | | | What is the role of the royal family? A brief history of the House of Windsor | | Sep 12, 2022 | | After more than 70 years of service to the British people, Queen Elizabeth II died on Thursday at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, surrounded by her family. Upon her passing, Charles became the first king of the United Kingdom since 1937. He is a member of the House of Windsor, the ruling royal family that ascended to the throne over a century ago. In 1901, King Edward VII succeeded his mother, Queen Victoria of the House of Hanover, as the new Monarch of the United Kingdom, assuring a new era for the Royal Family. Windsor is the sovereign monarchy for 15 states, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Island, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevis. Since Edward VII's reign, there have been five other monarchs in the royal house: George V, Edward VIII, George VI, Elizabeth, and Charles. BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY ORDER OF SUCCESSION The government of the United Kingdom is based on a constitutional monarchy, with the monarch acting as the Head of State; however, all power to make political decisions rests in the elected government and Parliament. As per the Royal Family website, "The Monarch undertakes constitutional and representational duties which have developed over one thousand years of history. In addition to these State duties, The Monarch has a less formal role as 'Head of Nation'. The Sovereign acts as a focus for national identity, unity and pride; gives a sense of stability and continuity; officially recognises success and excellence; and supports the ideal of voluntary service." The Monarch may also receive support in their official duties from members of their immediate family. Moreover, charitable work and advising the current prime minister has been a common duty of the monarchy, especially during the reign of Elizabeth II. QUEEN ELIZABETH II'S DEATH MARKS 'NEW ERA,' ROYAL EXPERT WEIGHS IN ON PRINCE WILLIAM AND KATE'S SHIFTED ROLES Over the last few centuries, the political power the monarchy has held slowly dwindled, starting with the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215 and later the English Civil War. The Royal Family earns their yearly income from the Sovereign Grant, which is funded by British taxpayers provided by the treasury, according to Insider. Every year the monarchy is paid an equivalent to 25% of the Crown's estate profits in exchange for surrendering all their property profits to the government. The grant also helps pay for travel costs, property management, and royal family employee payroll. QUEEN ELIZABETH II, BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY’S NET WORTH "The grant will be reviewed every five years by the Royal Trustees (the Prime Minister, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Keeper of the Privy Purse), and annual financial accounts will continue to be prepared and published by the Keeper of the Privy Purse," according to the Royal Family website. PRINCE HARRY JOINS ROYAL FAMILY IN SCOTLAND FOLLOWING ANNOUNCEMENT OF QUEEN ELIZABETH II'S DEATH The current royal family of the House of Windsor has been in power since the ascension of King Edward VII in 1901. Edward was initially a part of the House Saxe-Coburg and Gotha before renaming it to the English Windsor during World War One. However, a monarchy has existed in England and Britain for over 1,200 years with 61 monarchs. | | | | | NBC's Chuck Todd asks Vice President Kamala Harris if 'threat from within' is a bigger threat than 9/11 | | Sep 12, 2022 | | NBC's Chuck Todd asked Vice President Kamala Harris in an interview that aired on Sunday if the "threat from within" the U.S. was a bigger threat than the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Todd noted that Sunday was the 21st anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and added "not quite 20 years after 9/11 the Capitol came under attack from domestic terrorists." "With the 9/11 anniversary in mind, I sat down with Vice President Harris on Friday at the Johnson space center in Houston. She was there to talk about the space program in general and speak with some astronauts on the International Space Station. I began by asking about how over two decades our focus has had to shift from foreign terror to the threat from within," Todd explained during Sunday's episode of "Meet the Press." Todd began the interview by saying that the U.S. was now battling a "threat from within." He asked Harris if the "threat" was "equal or greater to what we faced after 9/11." Harris said it was "very dangerous" and "very harmful" and that it "makes us weaker." VP KAMALA HARRIS, HILLARY CLINTON EMPHASIZE FIGHTING ‘EXTREMISM,’ ‘ATTACKS FROM WITHIN’ IN SUNDAY INTERVIEWS The vice president criticized GOP "election deniers" and emphasized the role of the U.S. on the world stage. "The rest of the world — like to any role model — watches what we do to see if it matches up with what we say," Harris told Todd. "So, we look at the fact that there are 11 people right now running for Secretary of State — the keepers of the integrity of the voting system in their state — who are election deniers." "You couple that with people who hold some of the highest elected offices in our country who refuse to condemn an insurrection on Jan. 6," she added. "And I think what it sends is a signal that causes people to question, ‘Hey is America still valuing what they talk about?’ which is the integrity of democracies which means protecting rule of law and the sanctity of these systems. And speaking up when they are attacked." BIDEN HESITATES TO SAY 2022 ELECTION RESULTS WILL BE LEGITIMATE IF ‘VOTING RIGHTS’ BILLS NOT PASSED Democrats have been called out for casting doubt on election results in recent weeks, including White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Jean-Pierre tweeted in 2016 that the election was "stolen" after former President Donald Trump won. President Biden hesitated to say that the 2022 midterm elections would be legitimate in January. Todd also asked Harris, "what is a semi-fascist?" "Let’s not get caught up in politicizing the fact that most people in America know that it is not helpful to our country when we have people who are denying elections or trying to obstruct the outcome of an election where the largest number of people of our country voted for the president of the United States. When I think about what we’ve been seeing as far as the attacks from within, I wish that we would approach it the same way instead through some partisan lens," Harris told Todd. "I think that it is a threat, and I think that it is very dangerous, and it makes us weaker." Todd was referencing Biden's recent comments where he likened "extreme MAGA philosophy" to "semi-fascism." Biden and the administration have ramped up attacks against "MAGA Republicans," arguing that they are threats to democracy. | | | | | What we know about Queen Elizabeth II's funeral | | Sep 12, 2022 | | The funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, Britain's longest reigning monarch, will be viewed by millions around the world and many in the country.
