JESSE WATTERS: America lost and Joe Biden took a victory lap. Is this just poor planning or is this all going according to plan? The sham party is just another cover-up. His entire presidency is a cover-up built on lies. The only reason inflation isn't at 10% is because Biden drained the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. BIDEN CELEBRATES ‘INFLATION REDUCTION ACT’ AFTER INFLATION RISES IN AUGUST Look at that. Gas prices are down off their highs because he's flooding the market with oil that taxpayers paid for. This is for emergencies like wars and hurricanes, not midterms, and Biden's going to have to restock the stockpile with oil at close to $100 a barrel. What do you think that's going to do to the price, when America starts buying gazillions of barrels of oil? CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP It's going to send the price at the pump right back to over $5 a gallon, but after Joe spiked the football in your face, he flew back to Delaware. Guys, it's Tuesday and the president just went home for the rest of the week. COVID's over, but Joe loves to work remotely or not actually work at all. WATCH THE FULL CLIP HERE: | | | | | Tom Brady's 'that mother f---er' mystery appears to have been solved | | Sep 14, 2022 | | Retired NFL quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has a theory: He’s that ‘mother f---er’ Tom Brady referenced during HBO’s "The Shop" in 2021. Brady was discussing his 2020 free agency on the show and how he would end up with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But during that explanation, Brady said that one interested team ended up going with someone else, to which he said, "You’re sticking with that mother f---er?" Fitzpatrick spoke on ESPN’s "The Dan Le Batard Show," claiming that he was that man while with the Miami Dolphins. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM "I think I still am. I think I still am that guy," he said. "If you go back to that … before the 2019 season when the Dolphins are trying to assemble a roster that is going to help them get a better draft pick the next year, so it’s not like that was going to be an attractive situation for Tom anyway. So, I’m not sure why he was so upset about it, but I still to this day believe that I am that mother f---er." VETERAN QUARTERBACK RYAN FITZPATRICK RETIRING FROM NFL AFTER 17 YEARS The Dolphins were a team involved in the Brady sweepstakes, so much so ex-head coach Brian Flores alleged that Miami tampered various times trying to get Brady to play for him. He even said Miami wanted him to become a minority owner of the franchise. Miami was fined for tampering after it was found they attempted to bring Brady and ex-Saints head coach Sean Payton to the Dolphins. Flores filed a lawsuit against the Dolphins, among other teams, and the league. There was also the Las Vegas Raiders as a possible flirtation, as UFC president Dana White alleged that he had a plan to bring Brady and tight end Rob Gronkowski to Sin City. Either way, the Dolphins ended up with a 10-6 record during the 2020 season, with Fitzpatrick starting seven of the 16 games while rookie Tua Tagovailoa, who remains the starter in Miami today, started the rest. TOM BRADY ADDRESSES HIS FLIRTATION WITH DOLPHINS THIS OFFSEASON Fitzpatrick ended up with a nickname he doesn’t mind from Brady either. "I tried to get my wife to make a few T-shirts, so I could wear them around. We were just trying to figure out with all the kids around which letters to blank out," he said jokingly. Brady ended up making the right decision, joining the Bucs and leading them to a Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay. Fitzpatrick retired after 17 NFL seasons in June, saying he was "forever grateful for the magical ride." Part of that ride kept Brady out of South Beach. | | | | | Tom Brady on emotions about returning for Year 23: 'It's not like I have 10 years left' | | Sep 14, 2022 | | Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady was only retired for 45 days before telling his team that he would be coming back. It’s an emotional time for one of the greatest players of all time — he knows the clock is ticking on his career. On the "Let’s Go!" podcast with legendary sportscaster Jim Gray on Monday, Brady discussed those emotions and how they are more heightened now than they have ever been. "I'm just really feeling intensely my emotions," he said. "And I feel like I always have that, but I think when you get close to the end — and I don't know exactly where I'm at with that and there's no decision to be made, [but] it's not like I have 10 years left. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM "I definitely don't have that. So, all these, I just am never going to take for granted, you know?" There was a report that Brady would likely again retire following this season, per NFL Network. TOM BRADY LIKELY TO RETIRE FOLLOWING 2022 SEASON WITH BUCS: REPORT Brady made a trip to the Bahamas to "make good" on a promise he made to his wife, Gisele Bündchen, NFL Network reported. Over the last two weeks, the tabloids speculated their marriage had been on the rocks given Brady’s decision to return to football. But the legendary NFL superstar had maintained he would play until he was 45 years old, and if everything stays status quo, he would do just that. He also took an 11-day excused absence from the Bucs during training camp because he had "a lot of s--- going on." "We're all not sure whether we're going to be here next year or not, that's the reality for every player, every coach, every parent," Brady said in August. "You just never know. We should all take advantage of the opportunity that we have." BUCCANEERS' MIKE EVANS MAKES RIDICULOUS ONE-HANDED TOUCHDOWN CATCH AGAINST COWBOYS Brady was as fired up as ever in Dallas on Sunday Night Football, where his Bucs dominated the Cowboys, 19-3, for their first victory of the season. Brady finished the game with 212 yards through the air with one touchdown and one interception. Brady has said in the past that he wants to play until he’s 45 years old. He’s at that mark now and the drive to finish on a high note is palpable, as shown on Sunday night. | | | | | Colts' Jonathan Taylor takes solace in tie but admits OT rule change 'might be nice,' talks fantasy football | | Sep 14, 2022 | | The Indianapolis Colts stormed back in Week 1 against the Houston Texans on Sunday, scoring 17 points in the fourth quarter to force overtime. But the two teams ended in a tie. Jonathan Taylor, the star running back for the Colts, ran for 161 yards on 31 carries and had a touchdown to bring the game to within seven points with 7:42 left in the game. Taylor told Fox News Digital in a recent interview he’s finding the bright side in the tie even though it wasn’t the result he or his teammates wanted the first game of the season. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM "That was something I talked to a couple teammates about. It’s like, ‘OK, this is about to tie.’ There’s no double overtime, right? They’re like, ‘No, we’re going to tie with them,’" Taylor explained. "The one example I was given from a teammate was last year the Steelers were able to enter the playoffs because of a tie. So, you know, you think it’s a loss. But when they start explaining to you how ties work out it really comes into play at the end of the year. NFL POWER RANKINGS: BILLS, CHIEFS AMONG THE TOP TEAMS IN LEAGUE THROUGH WEEK 1 "This is my first tie I’ve experienced. We’ll see how it unfolds at the end of the season, but we got to lock in and focus for this next week coming up." When asked whether new overtime rules for the regular season or even having a USFL-style shootout to determine a winner should be considered, Taylor told Fox News Digital he was intrigued by the idea. "That actually might be nice just because now you just have something lingering that you don’t know whether it may affect you positively or negatively," he said. "And, of course, we know at the end of the day it’s up to us, the teams on the field, to get the win. But you just kind of have that one thing lingering throughout the season, and you don’t know how it’s going to affect you." The Colts started Matt Ryan in the Week 1 contest against the Texans. Ryan was acquired in the offseason from the Atlanta Falcons and was the third starting quarterback Taylor has played with to start a regular season since he entered the league in 2020. Philip Rivers was the starter in 2020 when Taylor was a rookie, and the team acquired Carson Wentz for Taylor’s sophomore season. "One thing I’ve been able to take away from each and every single one of those guys is how they mentally prepare," Taylor told Fox News Digital. "Do you want to learn how to mentally prepare for an opponent? You need to look and watch and listen to how quarterbacks prepare for the game. "A lot of guys, they physically prepare. They’ll watch them and have their certain looks that they need to be ready for. But, if you want a complete, mental kind of preparation for a game, the quarterbacks, they study tremendously. And it’s something that I have gained from Philip Rivers, Carson Wentz and, now, Matt Ryan is how dedicated they are to the mental aspect of the game. I feel like that’s what takes their game and everyone’s game who prepares like that to another level." Taylor entered his third season with two consecutive seasons of 1,100 or more rushing yards and 10 or more touchdowns. Not only is his value rising with the Colts, but in the world of fantasy football. COMMANDERS' DEFENSIVE LINEMAN TRASHES IDEA CARSON WENTZ IS PROBLEM IN LOCKER ROOM NFL fans notoriously ask players to hit a certain point allotment for them during the week. While some aren’t here for any kind of fantasy football talk, Taylor welcomes it. "I didn’t realize fantasy football was so huge until I actually got into the NFL," he told Fox News Digital. "I knew it was a big thing, but I didn’t know how much of a large scale it was until I actually entered the NFL. You kind of appreciate it because fans, they have their groups and their family members that they’re in a league with. And they want to win so badly, and they trust you to pull the win out for them. "It’s really humbling a little bit to just feel like these people, they want to beat their friends, their family members so bad, and they’re entrusting me to help them beat them." Taylor continued his partnership with Campbell’s Chunky and will donate food through the company’s charitable program for every yard he picks up this season. Last year, he ran for 1,811 yards – that’s a lot of food. Fox News Digital asked Taylor what fans can expect out of him and the Colts this season. "I could tell them to expect a team that’s going to fight until the clock strikes zero. As long as there’s a second on the clock, the Indianapolis Colts have a chance to come out with the win. Also, the preparation we will have every single week is going to be second to none. We will go in there every single week prepped and ready to go. We need you guys at Lucas Oil (Stadium) every single Sunday in order to feed off that energy because we enjoy it, and we love it." The Colts travel to Jacksonville to play the Jaguars Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. | | | | | CNN cuts from coverage of Biden's Inflation Reduction Act speech as Dow plummets: 'Hard to be celebratory' | | Sep 14, 2022 | | On a Tuesday episode of CNN Newsroom With Alisyn Camerota and Victor Blackwell, the hosts observed that Biden’s speech touting the success of the Inflation Reduction Act was poorly timed, noting the simultaneous collapse of the stock market. Earlier in the day, the latest consumer price index report was released, showing inflation rose 8.3% in August from a year ago. The Biden administration chose that afternoon to hold a celebration of the Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act on the White House lawn. While Biden claimed the Inflation Reduction Act was the "single most important legislation passed in the Congress to combat inflation and one of the most significant laws in our nation's history," the Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled in real time amid concerns about rising prices, having its worst day since June 2020. At one point, CNN pulled back from its live coverage of the speech, noting the "unfortunate" visuals of the president celebrating while the Dow took "a total beating." BIDEN SLAMMED FOR HOSTING INFLATION REDUCTION ACT CELEBRATION WITH ‘AMERICAN'S 401KS GOING DOWN THE DRAIN’ "Okay. You’re listening there to President Biden at the White House. He’s celebrating the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act and he says he’s been fighting big pharma for decades," Camerota began. "But there’s this unfortunate split-screen right now with the Dow taking a total beating down more than twelve-hundred points and feels like it’s hard to be celebratory for some people." Her co-host, Blackwell, offered a similarly grim assessment."Yeah, this is the day on which the White House celebrates the Inflation Reduction Act and a new report shows that inflation is especially high and what we are seeing on Wall Street is a reaction to that anticipating what’s coming from the fed," he warned. "The decision that will come on whether to increase - likely they will increase, but by how much - the interest rates another half point or three quarters of a point. We have to see in just a few days." But CNN wasn’t the only network to recoil from Biden’s speech. MEDIA HIGHLIGHTS ‘STUBBORNLY HIGH’ AUGUST INFLATION, ‘DESPITE’ FALLING GAS PRICES: ‘UNWELCOME NEWS’ FOR BIDEN MSNBC’s coverage cut away before the speech ended, shortly after Biden shouted at the audience. "Deadline: White House" host Nicolle Wallace appraised the president as "feisty and fired-up" and pivoted to instead talk about the potentially "historic interconnected push to unearth and investigate the conduct of the twice-impeached ex-president" Trump. Commentators on Twitter were quick to call out the networks for their reactions to Biden’s speech. NewsBusters news analyst Kevin Tober responded to Wallace’s segment, quipping, ".@NicolleDWallace's Trump hatred runs so deep that she dipped out of Biden's Inflation Reduction Act speech to obsess over the investigations into Trump." Former CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller responded by noting, "Both CNN and MSNBC cut away from Biden inflation speech. CSPAN not airing either. He’s been shut out. Maybe it’s the aviator sunglasses he’s wearing." | | | | | Boston authorities respond to reports of object 'detonated' at Northeastern University; 1 injured | | Sep 14, 2022 | | Boston police are investigating a package that detonated at Northeastern University Tuesday evening, leaving at least person injured.

Loudoun County has become the nerve center for parental activism in recent years, driving debates over critical race theory that have bled over to the rest of the United States. "Parents woke up and realized that their school systems, the administrators, the school boards, are more focused on politics than they are doing their jobs," Ian Prior, the executive director of Fight For Schools, said at Tuesday's protest. Loudoun County parents have been credited by many for boosting Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin to victory in last year's election, along with Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares and Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears. Sears, a military veteran and an immigrant, is also the first Black woman elected statewide in Virginia. Youngkin signed an executive order on his first day in office to "end the use of inherently divisive concepts, including Critical Race Theory, and to raise academic standards." LOUDOUN COUNTY JUDGE BOOTS LIBERAL DA FROM CASE OF DAD WHOSE DAUGHTER WAS SEXUALLY ASSAULTED IN SCHOOL Other parent advocacy groups, including Army of Parents and Moms for Liberty, also joined Tuesday's protest, as well as Hung Cao, a retired Navy Capt. running for Virginia's 10th congressional district as a Republican. "As your congressman, I will take all the political agenda out of the schools," Cao said Tuesday. "I will do that so that you, the parents, have control over what your children do, what they learn." Tuesday's gathering was referred to as the "ERACED Rally." Another group held a nearby demonstration dubbed the "EmbRACE don't erase Protest." "Now we MUST show why social emotional learning, CRT, and talking about race and racism are important," the hosts wrote on a Facebook event for the rally. "We cannot let this anti-education rhetoric to go unchallenged. We must stand up for our Black and POC students." | | | | | Charlie Crist's running mate: Being 'sp-ed teacher' 'qualifies me to deal with the dysfunctional legislature' | | Sep 14, 2022 | | EXCLUSIVE - Karla Hernández-Mats, the running mate of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist suggested she is qualified to become Florida's next lieutenant governor because her experience as a special education teacher can help her "deal with the dysfunctional legislature." At a campaign event on Tuesday in Cape Coral, Hernández-Mats relied on her background in education, specifically working with children with special needs, as a qualification for holding statewide office and for handling lawmakers. "I'm a teacher, I am a sp-ed teacher-so my major was emotionally-handicapped education, okay? That by itself qualifies me to deal with the dysfunctional legislature," Hernández-Mats said in a video obtained by Fox News Digital. Her comment sparked applause from her supporters. CHARLIE CRIST'S RUNNING MATE PREVIOUSLY SAID CUBANS ‘MOURN’ FIDEL CASTRO'S DEATH "[It's] a unique set of, uh, you know, skill sets in order to deal with them," she added. The Crist campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment. Hernández-Mats, the vice president of the second-largest teachers union in the country, was tapped by Crist last month to join Florida's Democratic ticket. But ever since she became Crist's running mate, past comments made by Hernández-Mats have come back to haunt her. THE VIEW'S ANA NAVARRO GRILLS CHARLIE CRIST ON PREVIOUS PRO-LIFE STANCE, RUNNING MATE: ‘WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!’ In 2016, marking the death of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, Hernández-Mats tweeted, "A political figure dies at 90. Most in Miami rejoice, many in Cuba mourn #FidelCastro." She only deleted the tweet after it resurfaced. She addressed the controversy, writing, "I proudly celebrated Fidel’s death, banging on pots and pans in the streets of Hialeah with my neighbors. It was heartbreaking that after decades of oppression, the Cuban people were forced to mourn the death of a tyrant." In October 2021, Hernández-Mats criticized school board meeting attendees outraged over COVID restrictions, comparing them to horror movie serial killers. "For any of you following the school board meetings, you know that the craziness is real. God be with us. #antivaxxers #disinformation #misinformation," the teachers union boss wrote, sharing a political cartoon with cinematic horror icons like Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger and Pennywise the Clown saying they were attending a school board meeting. It's not just Hernández-Mats who's made controversial statements. Just days after clinching the Democratic nomination, Crist slammed DeSantis voters, declaring "I don't want your vote." DESANTIS AIDE CHRISTINA PUSHAW TOUTS BLOCKING ACCESS TO LIBERAL MEDIA ‘ACTIVISTS’: ‘CUT THEM OFF’ "Those who support the governor should stay with him and vote for him. And I don't want your vote. If you have that hate in your heart, keep it there," Crist said during his first press conference as the gubernatorial nominee. Crist added that he only wants the vote of those who "care about our state," including "Good Democrats, good independents [and] good Republicans." Crist has a history of comparing himself to Jesus Christ while repeatedly referring to his GOP opponent as "DeSatan." The Democrat also compared himself to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine whose country has battled a Russian invasion since February. In April, Crist said he was "open" to mandating mask-wearing depending on whether the spread of COVID makes a comeback under his governorship. DeSantis famously opposed various restrictions that were adopted by many states across the country. Crist, a former governor of Florida, recently resigned from his post in Congress to focus on his campaign ahead of the November midterms. | | | | | Andrew Cuomo files ethics complaint against NY AG Letitia James over sexual harassment probe | | Sep 14, 2022 | | Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday filed an ethics complaint against state Attorney General Letitia James over her handling of the sexual harassment investigation that prompted him to resign from office last year. The 48-page complaint alleges James violated conduct rules and had an "intolerable personal and political conflict of interest" when she selected two investigators as part of the probe. "She engaged in a terrible and quite obvious manipulation of facts, evidence and the law, furthered a false narrative about me and hid evidence that undermined the report from the media and the public," Cuomo argued in the complaint. The former Democratic governor accused James of violating several attorney conduct rules and that two deputies, Joon Kim and Anne Clark, violated three said rules. NEW YORK CITY DEM ENDORSES REPUBLICAN LEE ZELDIN INSTEAD OF GOV. KATHY HOCHUL Fox News has reached out to James' office. James' office conducted a months-long investigation into Cuomo, concluding with an August 2021 report that said he sexually harassed at least 11 women from 2013 to 2020. Cuomo stepped down from office shortly after the report was made public to avoid what many saw as his likely impeachment. At the time, Cuomo admitted to making jokes and giving people hugs and kisses, "women and men." In the complaint, Cuomo said James did not release all the evidence from the report, which would have allowed for greater scrutiny of the probe. "To this day, she has refused to release all the evidence to me or the public," the complaint states. "She has zealously guarded the witness interview memos from scrutiny." Cuomo said James had a conflict of interest, saying she had launched a campaign for governor months after the report was released. James suspended her gubernatorial campaign in December following reports her office wanted to depose former President Trump in a separate inquiry. The complaint is the latest move by Cuomo against James. In August, he sued her office for failing to provide him with legal representation over the sexual harassment allegations. | | | | | Stefanik, Donalds will compete to be next House GOP conference chair | | Sep 14, 2022 | | Representatives Elise Stefanik and Byron Donalds will compete to be House Republican conference chair after the midterms as Republicans scope out plans for a potential House majority. Stefanik, R-N.Y., the current conference chair, announced Tuesday she would again seek that position. She first took on the role after Republicans ousted Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., because of her opposition to former President Donald Trump. "For the next 56 days, I'm laser-focused on working to ensure we earn a historic Republican majority," Stefanik said in a statement Tuesdsay. "I am proud to have unified the entire Republican Conference around our country in crisis message and shattered fundraising records as House GOP Conference Chair raising over $10M for candidates and committees this cycle." BIDEN DESERVES 'DIFFICULT TWO YEARS' SINCE AMERICANS HAVE BEEN 'SUFFERING': REP. STEFANIK Several other Republicans were quick to back Stefanik after her announcement. Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., who serves as her vice chair, was among them, as was Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa. Donalds, R-Fla., is a freshman who's gained notoriety through frequent media appearances. While he has not formally announced he'll run for the spot, his office confirmed to Fox News Digital that he will be a candidate to replace Stefanik. YOUNGKIN SLAMS VA DEMS FOR 'DESPERATE' ATTACK ON HIS CAMPAIGNING FOR GOP MIDTERM CANDIDATES Stefanik is the only woman serving in House Republican leadership. Donalds would become the only Black member of GOP leadership. The conference chair race is one of several positions that could be up for grabs for the GOP in a post-midterm reshuffle. If Republicans take back the House, current Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., is expected to move to the majority leader post, which would open up the majority whip job. Among the top candidates for the whip role are National Republican Congressional Committee Chair Tom Emmer, R-Minn., current Deputy Whip Drew Ferguson, R-Ga., and Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Banks, R-Ind. | | | | | California launches taxpayer-funded website promoting state's abortion services | | Sep 14, 2022 | | California on Tuesday launched a taxpayer-funded website promoting abortion services and resources in the state – even to non-residents. "California just launched a brand-new resource. A resource for those seeking reproductive care, whether you live here or not," Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a recorded video. Abortion.ca.gov, lists clinics, links to financial help for travel and lodging and lets teenagers in other states know they don't need their parents' permission to get an abortion in the state. The site also has sections devoted to illegal immigrants in the U.S., saying federal policies keep immigration officials away from health care facilities. LIBERALS BLAST MEDIA COVERAGE OF GRAHAM'S 15-WEEK ABORTION BAN, SAY NO SUCH THING AS ‘LATE-TERM’ ABORTION The website has a map showing the location of 166 abortion clinics statewide. People can click to see an entire map, or they can enter a city and get a list of clinics nearby. It also says people who live in California can get abortion medication by mail, forgoing the need to visit a clinic. Newsom said the website does not track visitors' personal information. "Abortion remains legal and protected in California. We have your back," Newsom said. The website is part of the governor’s pledge to make California a sanctuary for women seeking abortions in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. The state recently allocated $200 million to strengthen access to abortion in California, including $1 million to build a website promoting the state's abortion services. Anti-abortion advocates have lamented the use of public funds to boost such services, arguing California has other problems more deserving of public funding. The website’s launch came as Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., introduced a bill that would ban abortions nationwide after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Graham portrayed his bill as a "responsible alternative" to what he says are permissive laws favored by Democrats.

At the event on the White House lawn, Biden said the Inflation Reduction Act was the "single most important legislation passed in the Congress to combat inflation and one of the most significant laws in our nation's history," while the stock market tumbled in real time amid concerns about rising prices, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average having its worst day since June 2020. People on Twitter instantly reacted to the absurd scene. KARINE JEAN-PIERRE STUMBLES WHEN PRESSED ON SO-CALLED INFLATION REDUCTION ACT: ‘IS IT FAIR?’ Charles C.W. Cook, a senior writer at National Review, poked fun at the festivities before the president's speech, which included James Taylor singing "Fire and Rain." "Team, I just saw the CPI report. Let’s host a rally about inflation, and begin it with James Taylor singing a song about suicide," he wrote sarcastically, imitating Biden. Josh Kraushaar, senior political correspondent at Axios, tweeted, "Not great timing to celebrate the 'Inflation Reduction Act' when inflation still a major problem and Dow down 1,000+." "Biden's White House celebration of a bill that will make inflation far worse while claiming it reduces inflation is basically the musicians putting the deck chairs out to play as the Titanic takes on water and prepares to sink into the abyss," tweeted Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich. Ryan Saavedra, senior reporter at the Daily Wire, posted a screenshot of Fox News' coverage of the speech, which featured a Dow Watch in the corner. "Notice the Dow tracker showing American's 401Ks going down the drain," Saavedra tweeted. STOCK MARKET NEWS: INFLATION REPORT SENDS DOW TO WORST DAY SINCE JUNE 2020 "With the market crashing and inflation rising, Biden is having a victory party at the White House. He has no clue what’s going on," tweeted Brent Bozell, founder and president of the Media Research Center. "Inflation’s cranking. Stocks tanking. And Biden & Co. throwing a garden party at the White House. To celebrate what? Crushing your dreams?" snarked Fox News and Fox Business' Dagen McDowell. Greg Price, senior digital strategist at X Strategies, tweeted, "Will never be able to get over the image of Joe Biden speaking about how he singlehandedly beat inflation as the stock market tanks over 1,200 points on live television due to inflation. An all time moment in the history of American presidents." Even CBS News senior White House and political correspondent Ed O'Keefe noted, "As @POTUS Biden and the Democratic Party celebrate passage of the Inflation Reduction Act on the South Lawn of the White House, major stock indexes are closing down roughly 4% each in response to a hotter-than-anticipated monthly inflation report." On Tuesday, the Department of Labor released its latest consumer price index report, which showed inflation rose 8.3% in August from a year ago. This number was higher than expected, and has contributed to market fears that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates higher and for a longer duration of time than some had hoped, slowing down the economy. | | | | | | | Monica Lewinsky on Ken Starr death: 'Painful loss for those who love him' | | Sep 14, 2022 | | Former White House intern Monica Lewinsky said the death of Ken Starr, the attorney whose probe of Bill Clinton exposed her affair with the former president, evoked "complicated feelings" but acknowledged that his loss was "painful" for those who love him. "As I’m sure many can understand, my thoughts about Ken Starr bring up complicated feelings … but of more importance, is that I imagine it’s a painful loss for those who love him," Lewinsky tweeted shortly after Starr’s family confirmed his death Tuesday at the age of 76. Starr died at a hospital Tuesday of complications from surgery, according to his former colleague, attorney Mark Lanier. He said Starr had been hospitalized in an intensive care unit in Houston for about four months. HILLARY CLINTON COMPARES NANCY PELOSI TO QUEEN ELIZABETH II, CALLS HER ‘GUTSIEST WOMAN IN POLITICS’ In a probe that lasted five years, Starr looked into fraudulent real estate deals involving a long-time Clinton associate, delved into the removal of documents from the office of deputy White House counsel Vincent Foster after his suicide. The investigation of Clinton's intimate relationship with Lewinsky was a Washington spectacle. Lewinsky went to work at the White House as an intern in 1995. During the government shutdown late that year, she and Clinton had a sexual encounter in a hallway near the Oval Office, the first of 10 sexual encounters over the next year and a half. Lewinsky confided the affair to a co-worker, Linda Tripp, who tape-recorded some of their conversations and brought the tapes to Starr's prosecutors. Lewinsky was granted immunity from prosecution and became Starr's chief witness against the president, who had denied having sexual relations with Lewinsky.

The Seahawks defeated the Broncos 17-16 after Denver’s controversial missed field goal attempt in the final seconds of Russell Wilson’s return to Lumen Field. But as Seattle rejoiced in victory with quarterback Geno Smith, veteran running back Melvin Gordon was anticipating having the last laugh. "They can laugh now. I seen Pete Carroll. He was doing his little celebrating on the sideline. That’s cool. Hopefully we can meet those boys again, you know, in the Super Bowl, hopefully," Gordon said Tuesday, via DNVR. PEYTON MANNING MOCKS JETS AS COACH ROBERT SALEH TAKES NOTES "The goal is to definitely have the last laugh. They can giggle now." Wilson completed 29 of 42 pass attempts for 340 yards and a touchdown in his debut with Denver, but the Broncos struggled to overcome their red-zone inefficiency with two fumbles on Seattle’s 1-yard line. Gordon, who was responsible for one of those mishaps, said the game was Denver’s to lose.

Don't mind going for it on fourth. We're supposed to get the job done. We're not worried. We'll have our heads down for a couple of hours because we're competitors, and we hate losing. "We know we shot ourselves in the foot. We know we're the better team, but clearly we made more mistakes than they did. In the National Football League, it doesn't matter if you're the better team or not. You make mistakes, you're going to lose."

Greg Gianforte dubbed President Biden's student loan handouts a "political trick just ahead of an election to get attention" Tuesday on "Your World." STATES CONFIRM PLAN TO TAX STUDENT LOAN HANDOUT FUNDS GOV. GIANFORTE: It's the excessive spending that's driving inflation, and it's hitting hardworking Montanans very hard. Just this student loan bailout alone is going to place an additional $2,000 in debt on every American's back, whether they went to college or not, and whether they have student loan or not. … This is just a political trick just ahead of an election to get attention. But the problem is, not everybody went to college. Not everybody took out loans. Many people responsibly paid those loans back to shift the burden on to hard-working, blue-collar Americans to benefit the elites who … get advanced degrees. It's just unfair. And that's why we're calling on the Biden administration to scrap th[ese] political shenanigans ahead of the election to try and garner some attention. WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW BELOW: | | | | | Broncos' Nathaniel Hackett regrets kicking 64-yard field goal: 'We definitely should've gone for it' | | Sep 14, 2022 | | The Denver Broncos opted to waste clock and go for a last-minute 64-yard field goal instead of a 4th-and-5 conversion on Monday night. The kick went wide and the Broncos were upset by the Seattle Seahawks, 17-16. The Broncos trusted Brandon McManus over Russell Wilson, and the public backlash got to Nathaniel Hackett. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Meeting with the media on Tuesday afternoon, the first-year head coach admitted he made a mistake. "Looking back at it, we definitely should have gone for it," he said. Immediately after the game, though, Hackett made it known he had all the faith in McManus. "We were right on the line, and he had plenty of distance," Hackett said after the loss. "He just missed it. Brandon gave it his best shot. That’s a long field goal to hit." Quarterback Russell Wilson also wasn't (publicly) bothered by the decision, saying that the Broncos have "the best field goal kicker maybe in the game." BRONCOS' RUSSELL WILSON BACKS 64-YARD FIELD GOAL ATTEMPT: ‘I BELIEVE IN COACH HACKETT’ "I believe in coach Hackett, I believe in what we're doing, I believe in everything," Wilson said. "Anytime you can try to find a play on 4th-and-5, that’s great, too. But I don't think it was the wrong decision. … If we’re in the situation again, I wouldn’t doubt whatever he decided." Despite backpedaling on his decision earlier Tuesday, though, Hackett maintained that he was simply following the script of the drive. "One of those things you look back at it and say, ‘Of course you should go for it, we missed the field goal.’ But in that situation, we had a plan. We knew that (the) 46 (yard line) was the mark. "Javonte (Williams) makes a move (on 3rd and 14), goes a lot farther than I think we had anticipated, we were expecting to go for it on fourth down, and then he hit the mark." The Broncos were 6.5-point favorites and spoiled Wilson's homecoming to Seattle. They face the Houston Texans back in Denver in Week 2 at 4:25 p.m. ET. | | | | | Alabama's Nick Saban pleased with team's mental toughness in win over Texas: 'Tough times make hard people' | | Sep 13, 2022 | | Alabama head coach Nick Saban knew being 20-point favorites heading into the Week 2 matchup against Texas didn’t mean much. While fans and pundits predicted a dominant victory by the Crimson Tide, Saban cautioned against buying into the hype, referencing Alabama’s loss to Texas A&M as heavy favorites during the 2021 season. Saban’s concern turned out to be well-founded, with Alabama squeaking by 20-19 Saturday. Saban praised his team’s mental toughness at his Monday media availability for finding a way to win while not playing its best football. STEVE SARKISIAN CHANNELS HIS INNER NICK SABAN, SAYS TEXAS MUST BE ‘CAREFUL OF THE RAT POISON’ "I think you get mental toughness because things are hard," Saban said Monday. "You have to embrace hard. I think that’s true in your life. I think that’s true in football. I think tough times make hard people. Easy times make soft people. It’s no different in football. If it’s hard, you have to embrace hard. I have no problem with our players and how they embraced hard in this game.

"We didn’t execute like we wanted to, but you can’t fault the mental toughness. It was tough circumstances. Tough crowd. Very hot. We had guys getting cramps and not able to finish the game in some cases. So I don’t question the mental toughness." TEXAS’ QUARTERBACK SITUATION UNCERTAIN WITH QUINN EWERS INJURY It was an uncharacteristically sloppy game for Alabama, which committed 15 penalties for 100 yards against Texas, the most ever by an Alabama team with Saban as head coach. "We don’t want penalties. It’s all about discipline. Making the right choices and decisions whether it’s pre-snap or post-snap, it doesn’t matter," Saban said in his on-the-field interview, according to Sports Illustrated. "We got to play better, there’s doubt about that. "You gotta give Texas a lot of credit. Sark’s done a great job here, they’ve got a good team. We just got to play better." Alabama will have to lean on its mental toughness as the season progresses with four teams in the top 25 on the schedule. Next up is UL Monroe before Alabama begins its SEC slate against Vanderbilt Sept. 24. | | | | | |
