| Fox News - Latest Headlines | | | | 2 migrant buses arrive outside Vice President Kamala Harris' Naval Observatory residence in DC | | Sep 15, 2022 | | Two migrant buses from Del Rio, Texas, arrived near Vice President Kamala Harris' residence at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., Thursday morning. Between 75 and 100 people who were picked up in Eagle Pass, Texas, were sent by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. The group includes migrants from Venezuela, Uruguay, Colombia and Mexico. Multiple migrants, asked by Fox News Digital, said they think the border is open, contrary to what Harris said Sunday during an interview. AS TEXAS SENDS THOUSANDS OF MIGRANTS TO SANCTUARY CITIES, LIBERAL MAYORS SCRAMBLE TO RESPOND Abbott has sent dozens of buses filled with border-crossers to Washington, D.C., New York City and Chicago in recent weeks. Abbott argues that border towns in Texas are overwhelmed, and those in power in D.C. and NYC should face the realities of the border crisis. DC MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER DECLARES EMERGENCY OVER MIGRANT BUSES FROM TEXAS, ARIZONA Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser declared a public emergency last week over the buses of migrants' continued arrival in the city from Texas and Arizona. Bowser's emergency declaration 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. ILLINOIS CALLS UP NATIONAL GUARD TO HANDLE MIGRANTS, CHICAGO WANTS FEDERAL MONEY DIVERTED FROM TEXAS Brianne Nadeau, a member of the Council of the District of Columbia, blamed the governors of Texas and Arizona for the city's public migrant emergency. Speaking in a situational update on migrant support alongside Bowser, she said Thursday that the city's systems were not set up to serve the migrants that continue to arrive in the city from the southern states. TEXAS BUSES TAKING MIGRANTS TO NYC SETS OFF FIRESTORM FROM DEMS, ABBOTT TELLS THEM TO TAKE IT UP WITH BIDEN "So, it's been said, but it's worth reiterating, that the governors of Texas and Arizona have created this crisis. And, the federal government has not stepped up to assist the District of Columbia," she told reporters. "So we, along with our regional partners, we'll do what we've always done. We'll rise to the occasion." 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. 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.

Magnus Carlsen, the 31-year-old chess grandmaster who was unbeaten entering the Sinquefield Cup, lost to upstart American player Hans Niemann last week, ending the top-ranked Chess player’s 53-game winning streak. After the loss, Carlsen tweeted he was withdrawing from the tournament, hosted by the St. Louis Chess Club. "I've withdrawn from the tournament. I've always enjoyed playing in the @STLChessClub, and hope to be back in the future," he wrote, adding a link to a 2020 video from soccer manager Jose Mourinho who famously said after a match, "If I speak, I am in big trouble." CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Niemann, 19, immediately faced accusations of cheating – from anything to wireless vibrating anal beads to a vibrating shoe, according to multiple reports. Tesla CEO Elon Musk even added to the controversy with a tweet of his own, suggesting something was in Niemann’s butt during the match. A professional game also suggested something like that as well. Niemann denied cheating in an interview with the Chess Club. "I have never cheated in an over-the-board game. That is the worst thing I could do: cheat in a tournament with prize money," he said, via KSDK-TV. "You know my dream came true. I lived my dream for a day beating Magnus, and then, all of this happened." CHESS LEGEND MAGNUS CARLSEN UNMOTIVATED TO COMPETE IN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP: 'I DON'T HAVE A LOT TO GAIN' St. Louis Chess Club Executive Director Tony Rich told the station there have been anti-cheating measurements in place for the tournament. According to the Guardian, Niemann was also frisked before the match. According to the International Chess Federation ratings, Niemann was No. 49 in the world with a 2688 rating. Carlsen was No. 1 with a 2861 rating. Niemann finished in seventh place in the tournament. The young chess player was also banned from Chess.com and uninvited from the Global Championship, according to the Guardian. The website told the New York Post that Niemann was banned for cheating on the website. "We have reached out to Niemann to explain our decision to privately remove him from Chess.com and our events. We have shared detailed evidence with him concerning our decision, including the information that contradicts his statements [about] the amount and seriousness of his cheating on Chess.com," a spokesperson for the website told the New York Post. The two players are both set to participate in the Julius Baer Generation Cup this weekend. | | | | | House Dems, GOP working together to make Iran sanctions permanent | | Sep 15, 2022 | | EXCLUSIVE: A bipartisan group of House lawmakers will introduce legislation Thursday that would solidify U.S. sanctions against Iran in order to apply pressure to the regime as it attempts to obtain nuclear weapons. The lawmakers say the legislation, titled the Solidify Iran Sanctions Act (SISA), would create a necessary deterrent by targeting the country's energy sector and making it more difficult to finance terrorist operations or develop ballistic missiles. "From brutal abuses committed against its own people, to its never-ending threats towards free and democratic societies, the Iranian regime has proven time and again that they are a rogue state with no interest in preserving regional or global peace," said Rep. Michelle Steel, R-Calif., who is leading the bill in the House. "It is more important than ever that we prevent the unacceptable threat of a nuclear Iran from becoming a reality. Existing sanctions have proven successful in preventing such a catastrophe, and we must ensure that we can continue to place economic and strategic pressures on Iran to prevent them from developing nuclear weapons or supporting terrorists. I’m proud to partner with Senator Scott on this issue, and to lead this bipartisan group of my House colleagues to send a clear signal that the United States will not tolerate existential threats against us, our allies, or freedom and democracy around the world." LAWMAKERS URGE BIDEN TO DENY IRANIAN PRESIDENT ENTRY INTO US FOR UN MEETING OVER 'GROSS VIOLATIONS' OF RIGHTS The bill would require the "imposition of sanctions with respect to Iran’s illicit weapons programs, conventional weapons and ballistic missile development, and support for terrorism, including Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps." Current co-sponsors include Reps. Susie Lee, D-Nev.; Grace Meng, D-N.Y.; Angie Craig, D-Minn.; Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J.; Joe Wilson, R-S.C.; Maria Salazar, R-Fla.; Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla.; Randy Weber, R-Texas; and Mike Waltz, R-Fla. Last month, Sens. Tim Scott, R-S.C.; Maggie Hassan, D-N.H.; Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn.; and Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., introduced the Senate version of the legislation. The bill is designed to make the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996 permanent in order to keep the U.S. and its allies safe from the threat of a nuclear Iran. The legislation comes as the Biden administration is still negotiating the final details of a renewed nuclear deal with Iran. A bipartisan group of House lawmakers urged President Biden last week to deny necessary "entry visas" for Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his delegation to attend the upcoming 77th United Nations General Assembly in New York City due to the foreign president's record of supporting terrorism and violating human rights. | | | | | 'Ultraconservative' Supreme Court undermines science, Nature magazine reports | | Sep 15, 2022 | | Nature, a British scientific journal, was the latest media outlet to attack what it called the "ultraconservative supermajority" on the Supreme Court on Wednesday. The piece on "the US Supreme Court’s war on science," claimed the conservative majority on the court is "undermining science’s role in informing public policy" and "could be disastrous for public health, justice and democracy itself." The article, penned by Jeff Tollefson, specifically cited the Dobbs case that overturned Roe v. Wade, the Bruen decision that struck down New York’s strict gun regulation laws and the EPA ruling which limited the agency’s power. "Although the decisions differed in rationale, they share a distinct trait: all three dismissed substantial evidence about how the court’s rulings would affect public health and safety. It is a troubling trend that many scientists fear could undermine the role of scientific evidence in shaping public policy. Now, as the court prepares to consider a landmark case on electoral policies, many worry about the future of American democracy itself," Tollefson wrote. JENNIFER RUBIN CLAIMS ‘TONE-DEAF’ SUPREME COURT DESTROYED ‘ITS OWN INTEGRETY,’ CALLS FOR COURT PACKING He further claimed that "as the court swung to the ideological right, its attitude towards science also shifted." "The result, scholars say, is an ultraconservative, six-member supermajority that is often sceptical of — if not outright hostile towards — science," Tollefson warned. Quoting Wendy Parmet, who co-directs the Center for Health Policy and Law at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, he suggested that the Supreme Court is "in some cases…elevating individual rights, and in others they are dismantling individual rights, but the through line is that they are dismissive of science and the real-world impact of their decisions." He listed the loss of the "right to an abortion" as one of the crucial health decisions that will have a profound impact for generations to come, especially based on how the case was decided. "[T]he court also dismissed decades of research indicating that its decision would negatively affect women’s health and increase long-standing disparities in the health system," Tollefson argued. He also claimed that the EPA decision similarly disregarded "decades of climate science on the looming peril of global warming" at a "crucial time." MSNBC’S LAWRENCE O’DONNELL ADVOCATES EXPANDING SUPREME COURT TO ‘DILUTE THE TRUMP POISON’ "The court’s willingness to issue opinions that are likely to have discernible adverse impacts on the population is astonishing," Parmet said, "and quite at odds with the long tradition of how courts have dealt with issues of public health." Citing Nancy Gertner, a retired federal judge who teaches at Harvard University, Tollefson also suggested the time has come for court reform, including term limits for Supreme Court justices or expanding the court itself. Gertner noted that while term limits could require a constitutional amendment, expanding the court could, in theory, be done legislatively. However, so far, President Biden has been reluctant to push for packing the Supreme Court, though many Democrats have advocated for it in the past. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Several media outlets have attacked the Supreme Court following these major decisions claiming that the court is no longer "legitimate." Some have gone so far as to say that the current conservative-majority court poses a threat to democracy and even the planet. | | | | | Tentative agreement reached to avoid rail strike, FL gov flies illegals to an island and more top headlines | | Sep 15, 2022 | | RAIL KEEPS ROLLING - Tentative agreement reached to avoid strike that could have crippled the supply chain.

Still, the organization has pledged to keep working with Moscow to speed up the export of necessary food and fertilizers. "Obviously, anything that can help rebuild confidence is useful, but it would be naive to think that we are close to the possibility of a peace deal," U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said at a press conference on Wednesday. "My good offices are ready, but I have no illusions that, at the present moment, the chances of a peace deal are minimal, at the present moment." Guterres arrived late to the press conference, admitting that he had just spoken with Putin regarding the ongoing difficulty Moscow claims to face in exporting grains and other food supplies to the rest of the world – an issue that could lead to global famine if it remains unresolved. "We had the opportunity to discuss the Black Sea Grain Initiative and its extension and expansion, possible expansion," Guterres explained. "There are, as you know, talks in relation to the possibility of ammonia, Russian ammonia exports through the Black Sea … in line with the methodology that is run by the JCC, the Joint Coordination Committee." RUSSIA ‘LIKELY’ DEPLOYED IRAN DRONES IN UKRAINE FOR THE FIRST TIME, BRITISH INTELLIGENCE SAYS The exportation of ammonia, which could be used as fertilizer, could help stabilize a growing crisis as prices soar during a shortage resulting from Russia and Ukraine’s difficulty getting the product to market due to the Russia’s invasion. In his opening remarks, Guterres warned that without the deal and movement of Russian food and fertilizers, there was a risk of "multiple famines" in the coming year. US INTEL SHOWS RUSSIA PAID $300M TO INFLUENCE FOREIGN POLITICAL PARTIES "We have discussed the obstacles that still exist in relation to the exports of Russian food and fertilizers, and I have to say that we now have a dramatic situation in the world in fertilizers," Guterres said, adding that the world faces a fertilizer "crunch." "We have news from different parts of the world where the areas cultivated are much smaller than in the previous cycle, which means that we risk to have in [2023] a real lack of food." "What we have is to guarantee that there are effective mechanisms that allow developing countries with risk of famine to be able to have access to the food that is available, and this is either through forms of direct assistance," he added, again stressing the need to stabilize the fertilizer market. CHINA SAYS IT WILL WORK WIITH RUSSIA TO CREATE NEW INTERNATIONAL ORDER A peace deal between Russia and Ukraine could help lead to that stabilization, but Guterres presented a bleak picture regarding that possibility. He affirmed that inspectors sent to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station found "worrying" radiation and that the U.N. will continue to seek security around the plant. "I go on with my contacts with both sides and hope that, one day, it will be possible to move into a higher level of discussion," he said. "Now we are discussing the exports of ammonia. Now we are discussing aspects related to prisoners of war or to the Fact-Finding Mission or to Zaporizhzhia. One day, I hope it will be possible to discuss peace." | | | | | Trevon Diggs says Cowboys need to 'hold down the fort' until Dak Prescott returns | | Sep 15, 2022 | | Week 1 of the NFL season could not have gone any worse for the Dallas Cowboys, falling to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and losing starting quarterback Dak Prescott for the next several weeks after undergoing surgery on his thumb. It certainly was not how Dallas envisioned starting the season, but there were positive takeaways from game one of 17. Prescott is not expected to miss as much time as initially feared, reportedly targeting Week 5 for his return instead of the initial projection of 6-8 weeks. COWBOYS’ JERRY JONES GIVES OPTIMISTIC TIMELINE FOR DAK PRESCOTT RETURN: WE WILL NOT PUT HIM ON THE IR’ "We’re ready to play. We’re ready to go out there and everyone step up and execute their jobs," Cowboys All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs told Fox News Digital in a recent interview. "Help the team win until Dak gets back. Hold down the fort until he gets back. We just have to keep that mindset. "It’s a long season ahead of us, and he’s going to be back." While the offense struggled throughout the week one matchup with the Bucs, it was the defense that kept Dallas in the game. CHIEFS’ PATRICK MAHOMES PROVIDES UPDATE ON WRIST INJURY SUFFERED DURING WEEK 1 Tampa Bay had five possessions in the first half, all of which resulted in field goal attempts. Even with Prescott completing just 6 of 15 passes for 52 yards and an interception in the first half, the Dallas D was able to bend and not break, keeping the Cowboys within striking distance. "We had zero penalties in that game [defensively], so we played penalty-free," Diggs said when asked to rate Dallas' defense in Week 1. "We played smart and sound. I think we did pretty good, but we still have a lot of work to do. It’s a long season before we get to where we really want to be too and that’s a Super Bowl-level defense." ANDY REID BLAMES PAIR OF CHIEFS’ INJURIES ON CARDINALS’ FIELD: ‘IT’S NOT AN EXCUSE’ With Prescott on the sidelines for at least the next several weeks, the Dallas defense will be expected to carry the load, though Diggs does not see it as added pressure. "I wouldn’t necessarily call it pressure," Diggs told Fox News Digital. "It’s a standard that we have for ourselves and regardless of Dak is hurt or not we’re going to play that way." For Diggs, the 2022 NFL season is a chance to build on a stellar second season in which he led the league in interceptions with 11, tying the Dallas franchise record for most interceptions in a single season. His sophomore campaign earned Diggs his first trip to the Pro Bowl and a selection as a First Team All-Pro. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Prior to the start of the 2022 season, Diggs was selected by his peers to the NFL’s Top 100 players list, landing at No. 23, three spots ahead of his brother, Buffalo Bills wide receiver, Stefon Diggs. "We kind of don’t talk about it because we’re still doing it," Diggs told Fox News Digital when asked if he speaks with his brother regarding the selection. "He’s in his prime, and I’m just getting starting. "But it doesn’t go unrecognized. We do mix it in and talk about it sometimes. But we always look forward, look at next year, look at what we can do next." Their success has led to opportunities off the field, with the brothers getting the chance to work together on their new venture – partnering with SAXX Underwear. "Every interception that I get, you get 10% off and for every touchdown he scores, you get 10% off," Diggs said. "So, a pretty cool deal." The Cowboys will need every interception Diggs can grab as they attempt to stay afloat without the services of their two-time Pro Bowl quarterback. | | | | | Jimmy Kimmel apologizes for stealing Quinta Brunson's Emmy moment as she crashes his monologue | | Sep 15, 2022 | | If you crash my speech, I’ll crash yours. Jimmy Kimmel apologized to "Abbott Elementary" creator and star Quinta Brunson after his pretending-to-be-drunk bit at the Emmy Awards distracted from her acceptance speech on Monday. Kimmel, 54, and Will Arnett, 52, who were the presenters for the Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series award, began their segment with a bit in which the actor dragged Kimmel on stage by his ankles as he joked that the TV host had passed out after having "gotten into the skinny margaritas" backstage following his loss in his own category. When Brunson, 32, walked onstage to accept her award, she had to step over Kimmel's body to get to the microphone as he pretended to be comatose while lying on the floor. QUINTA BRUNSON JOKES SHE ‘MIGHT PUNCH’ JIMMY KIMMEL ‘IN THE FACE’ AFTER STUNT DURING HER EMMYS SPEECH "Jimmy, wake up, I won," she said after she was forced to step over him to get to the microphone on Monday. She was played offstage while thanking her family. Fans criticized Kimmel for being rude to the star and taking away from her moment as he stayed prone on the stage for her entire speech. However, Brunson was gracious, saying she was not upset about his antics. "I'm going to be on his show on Wednesday, so I might punch him in the face," she joked. "I don't know, we'll see what happens." Near the end of Kimmel’s monologue for his show Wednesday night, Brunson strode onto the stage with her Emmy in hand. After Kimmel remarked she was "a little early" for her interview, she responded, "I have a little favor to ask. So you know how when you win an Emmy you only have 45 seconds to do an acceptance speech, which is like not that much time. And then ... you get less time because someone does a dumb comedy bit that goes on a bit too long?" "I have heard of that happening in previous years," Kimmel replied. "Well, I was wondering, or no, more demanding if I could, I have a couple of extra minutes to thank, you know, a couple of extra people." ABC'S JIMMY KIMMEL HANDS SHOW OVER TO AL FRANKEN TO BASH CRUZ, TRUMP Kimmel left the stage to her where she thanked the academy "again" and mentioned several names she missed the first time. Brunson came on as Kimmel's first guest after the break where he joked of her acceptance speech, "I missed it. How did it go?" He admitted it was a "dumb" comedy bit. "People got upset. They said I stole your moment, and maybe I did, and I’m very sorry if I did do that. I’m sorry I did do that, actually. And also the last thing I’d ever want to do is upset you because I think so much of you. And I think you know that. I hope you know that." Brunson thanked him for his apology but said she was so "wrapped up in the moment" of winning her first Emmy that it didn’t really bother her. "Honestly, I had a good night." Kimmel jokingly said it was "all Will Arnett’s fault. He drugged me, and he dragged me out there." | | | | | |
