Warren’s stat line was not spectacular. He had seven rushing yards on three carries. He was also targeted once by quarterback Mitchell Trubisky in the team’s overtime win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

"And that’s capable of happening for a young guy but I think that’s indicative of him throughout this process and that’s why he’s gone from being an undrafted guy to a guy that’s carving a role out for himself. "Because at no step in team development did he show that circumstances were too big for him. He was competitive, and he’s being competitive. He was on Sunday, so good for him and good for us." EAGLES FANS FILE LAWSUIT AGAINST COMMANDERS CLAIMING INJURIES WHEN RAILING COLLAPSED AT FEDEX FIELD Warren was a standout running back at Utah State and Oklahoma State during his collegiate career. He spent two seasons with the Aggies before transferring to Oklahoma State. He had 821 rushing yards and eight touchdowns at Utah State and 1,216 yards and 11 touchdowns in his lone season with the Cowboys. Warren found himself with the Steelers after the draft to provide depth behind Najee Harris. Harris suffered a foot injury in Week 1 but is expecting to play in Week 2 against the New England Patriots. | | | | | Good teachers should cross picket lines to teach kids | | Sep 14, 2022 | | I’m a newly retired elementary school teacher. I taught for more than 30 years. I served on my local school board. I sat on committees and performed other extracurricular duties. I sued my teachers’ union in 2016 with a case that went all the way to the Supreme Court, so I can add plaintiff to my resume. My reputation in my school district was stellar, despite rocking the boat with that awkward suing situation. My only regret is that I never got to be a scab. I’m an accomplished, educated woman, and yet I never achieved the high honor of crossing a picket line. But first a little context. Before COVID, teachers were actually expected to teach in order to earn their salaries. We taught, then we got paid. Good teachers worked extra hours at home and spent their own money for classroom supplies and rewards. During COVID, union bosses, for some mysterious reason, worked hard to keep schools closed, creating learning loss, isolation and depression among many children. Despite that, the education mafia kicked into high gear, using the pandemic as an excuse to flex their collective muscle and create as much mayhem as possible, all at the expense of our precious students. Now that COVID is endemic and the "crisis" is over, the teachers unions need some way to keep the mayhem going. Strikes are the cause du jour, and they’re happening all over the country. SEATTLE TEACHERS STRIKE: TENTATIVE DEAL REACHED Why would a teacher, who cares about his or her students, strike? The reasons are myriad. Some teachers really do want to strike. They work for money and care nothing about their calling as an educator and their influence on their students. I take that back; they do care about their influence. Stories abound lately about progressive teachers who are using their platforms to raise up mini-me activists, all in the name of furthering left-wing causes. The unions protect these teachers, and they continue indoctrinating our kids year after year. Most teachers who strike, however, are afraid. The pressure to conform is intense. The mob gets worked up by the union bosses and if a teacher questions or refuses to go along, the consequences are immediate and severe. Teachers have been ostracized. Some have had phony accusations filed against them and then the union conveniently decides not to offer legal help. One friend who defied orders to strike had his car vandalized as he tried to enter the school parking lot. It takes a strong soul to stand firm against the pressure. Other teachers are told lies. The education mafia has its talking points, but the fact-checkers are nowhere to be seen. Perhaps they’re busy censoring speech on social media. Teachers are told to vote "yes" on the strike, pick up a sign, and get moving. But most have no idea what’s gone on behind the closed doors of the union office. They just do what they’re told. A couple of weeks ago, one union in Columbus, Ohio, had the complete audacity to give their marching minions signs that read, "On strike for the schools our students deserve." And all this while the students were not actually attending school – at all. Here’s the bottom line: I (and scores like me) became a teacher to positively impact the next generation. We didn’t sign up to get involved in education politics. We didn’t sign up to teach controversial topics best left to parents. And we certainly didn’t sign up to strike. Teaching is a great vocation until the union folks get involved. Then it’s sheer misery. The good news, though, is that fairly recent Supreme Court decisions have made it so teachers are no longer bound to endless union membership. Sadly, not all teachers know this. Good teachers need to exit the unions en masse and move America one step closer to ending the education mafia’s grip on our schools. CLICK HERE TO GET THE OPINION NEWSLETTER But back to my scab-less career. Thankfully, not once in 30-plus years did my union initiate a strike. Seriously, this is good news. Our students never suffered through that. However, and this is where it gets sad for me: I never once got to cross a picket line. I say that with tongue-in-cheek, and this is not about me. However, as I hear about strikes happening around the country, I wonder what these unions are thinking by stripping kids of their back-to-school excitement. I mourn for the stress put on families as union-focused teachers put their own interests over those of their students. And I so wish I could show up and walk through the picket line, shaking my head at their ironic signs and silly chants, and go inside and teach some kids.

Bartender Cindy Smith said she was serving drinks at the Maddock Bar last week when a local resident brought in the animal during happy hour. There were about 10 people in the saloon at the time, she said. Smith said she immediately asked the woman to leave but instead she took the raccoon around the bar to show another customer. The woman eventually departed with the animal after about five minutes. WHAT TO DO IF A RABIES-INFECTED ANIMAL BITES YOU? "We finally got her out with it, and that’s all that happened," Smith told The Bismarck Tribune. "It never left her arms one time, and there was absolutely no biting." NORTH DAKOTA DELAYS $4.2 MILLION ROAD POST PROJECT AFTER FARMERS COMPLAIN Maddock is town of about 500 people located about 85 miles from the Canadian border. Rabies is a viral infection that affects mammals, including humans. In an alert issued Tuesday, North Dakota’s Health and Human Services Department is asking anyone who may have been bitten or had contact with the raccoon's saliva to seek medical care. "Because rabies is such a serious disease with a nearly 100% fatality rate, we are making this information available to the public as a precautionary measure," epidemiologist Amanda Bakken said in a statement. NORTH DAKOTA RECREATIONAL POT LEGALIZATION WILL MAKE BIG IMPACT ON MEDICAL MARIJUANA INDUSTRY IF LEGALIZED Six rabid animals have been reported in North Dakota this year, including two bats, two cats, one bovine and one skunk. Said Smith, "I had no idea what she was thinking." | | | | | Russia decries Ukraine's calls for NATO-like security coalition as 'prologue' to WWIII | | Sep 14, 2022 | | Russia has condemned Kyiv’s push for a NATO-like international security coalition as a "prologue" to World War III as it faces strategic losses amid its war in Ukraine. "The Kyiv camarilla has given birth to a project of 'security guarantees', which are essentially a prologue to a third world war," Russia’s Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said according to Russia state-owned media outlet Tass. Medvedev claimed that no one would agree to any of the "guarantees" Kyiv is seeking from international partners and argued it would be tantamount to "applying Article 5 of the North Atlantic Pact to Ukraine." NATO SHOULD PREPARE FOR ALL-OUT WAR WITH RUSSIA AS PUTIN GROWS DESPERATE AMID UKRAINE VICTORIES: EX NATO BRASS NATO’s Article 5 stipulates that an attack on one nation in the 30-member alliance – of which Ukraine is not a part of – would trigger a response from all member nations. The article serves as a deterrent from aggressive nations like Russia who would be forced to face off with not only the U.S. military but 29 other advanced Western militaries as well, many of which share a border with Russia. Moscow attempted to justify its illegal invasion of Ukraine over claims that Kyiv was getting too close to NATO and demanded that it pledge not to join the alliance. Ukraine reportedly agreed to Moscow’s demand in the early days of the war when peace negotiations were ongoing, though it appears Kyiv may not still adhere to this pledge after talks with Russia fell through amid its continued invasion. "We are working to ensure that the strongest subjects of the free world become guarantors of the security of our state," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksyy said in his overnight address. "Together with our partners, we have already built a powerful anti-war coalition, which includes dozens of different states. "Now we are working to ensure that the most powerful states that are already helping us become a coalition of peace that will last forever," he added. Ukrainian top officials on Tuesday introduced a proposal dubbed the "Kyiv Initiative" that is looking to form a pact with leading world players that would solidify an international response should Ukraine once again be attacked by Russia. UKRAINE'S SOLDIERS INCH TOWARD SIEVIERODONETSK IN MAJOR COUNTEROFFENSIVE The U.S. was not specifically listed as a nation Ukraine is currently in talks with, though it has given substantially more aid than any other individual nation to Ukraine in its fight against Russia. It is unclear how the U.S. would respond to such calls, and Fox News could not immediately reach the State Department for comment. Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak, held an online meeting with officials from former Soviet nations and the Eastern Bloc including Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary. Yermak called on partner states to agree to specific bilateral security guarantees in a combined framework that would be known as the "Kyiv Security Compact". Washington has towed the line on aiding Ukraine and attempting to avoid aggravating Moscow to the extent that it prompts a global war – an outcome that Russian leaders have suggested could come should Western nations sign a security pact with Kyiv. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP However, Ukraine appears determined to eventually join NATO despite Russia’s blatant threats. "In order to successfully implement these tasks, Ukraine must get a guaranteed safety after the war. This means that we should receive reliable international security guarantees for the time period until Ukraine becomes a full member of the EU and NATO," Yermak said. | | | | | Philadelphia cop who shot unarmed black motorist begins trial | | Sep 14, 2022 | | A white Philadelphia police officer became distraught when he learned that a Black motorist he fatally shot after a high-speed chase was unarmed, his lawyer said as the ex-officer’s third-degree murder trial began Tuesday. Prosecutors said that former Officer Eric Ruch Jr. shot and killed Dennis Plowden Jr. less than six seconds after arriving on the scene — even as other officers held their fire. A grand jury investigation found that Plowden, 25, was dazed after crashing the car and had his left hand raised as he tried to follow commands on a city sidewalk. However, defense lawyer David Mischak told jurors that Plowden’s right hand remained hidden near a pocket. Only later, he said, did Ruch learn what was inside. US MALL VIOLENCE: GRIEVING MOM OF MAN KILLED, PUBLIC SAFETY EXPERTS WEIGH IN AMID SPIKE IN SHOOTINGS "As soon as my client discovered it was heroin and not a gun, he was upset. He was distraught," Mischak said. He urged jurors to consider not just what happened in the six seconds at the scene, but the two-minute chase beforehand. Police thought the car was linked to a recent homicide. Plowden, who had borrowed the car and was not involved in that case, drove at high speed for several blocks through a city neighborhood before crashing. "It was a tragedy," Mischak said of Plowden’s death. "To call my client a criminal really compounds that tragedy." Ruch is one of three city police officers facing murder charges filed by Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner over their on-duty actions. In his case, the jury will also weigh voluntary manslaughter and a weapons charge. The bullet from Ruch's gun went through Plowden's raised left hand before hitting him in the head. He died at a hospital the following day, according to testimony from his widow, Tania Bond, who briefly took the stand. She won a $1.2 million wrongful death settlement from the city. PHILADELPHIA BRACES FOR POSSIBILITY MIGRANT BUSES FROM TEXAS WILL BE SENT TO CITY Krasner brought dozens of lawsuits against police as a civil rights lawyer and has battled with city police since taking office in 2018. Ruch was fired about 10 months after the Plowden shooting. In a key pretrial ruling, Philadelphia Common Pleas Judge Barbara McDermott barred prosecutors from telling jurors about a series of complaints filed against him during his 10-year police career because he was mostly cleared of wrongdoing by internal affairs, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. And she limited Bond's testimony to a few basic facts on Tuesday. However, in an interview with The Associated Press after the charges were filed in 2020, the widow wondered whether Ruch felt any remorse. FATHER OF 7 'AMBUSHED AND EXECUTED' ON PHILADELPHIA HOME'S FRONT LAWN, POLICE SAY "I just want to know, has Ruch ever thought about my family?" she asked. | | | | | Texas woman who attempted to steal an unborn baby researched how to fake a pregnancy | | Sep 14, 2022 | | A state police investigator testified Tuesday that a woman accused of killing a pregnant woman and removing her unborn child conducted intensive research on how to fake a pregnancy convincingly. The testimony came in the capital murder trial of Taylor Rene Parker for the October 2020 killing of Reagan Simmons-Hancock and her stolen child. Special Agent Dustin Estes of the Texas Department of Public Safety testified that Parker viewed numerous YouTube videos on delivering and caring for babies. TEXAS WOMAN POISONED BY NAPKIN AFTER RESTAURANT BIRTHDAY DINNER: 'I COULDN'T BREATHE' On the day of the killing, she watched a video on the physical exam of an infant delivered pre-term at 35 weeks, he said. Simmons-Hancock had a 35-week pregnancy when she was killed. Parker also ran numerous Google searches about pregnancy, Estes said. "She watched all these videos, clicked on all these links, and they were all at 35 weeks," prosecutor Kelley Crisp said. TEXAS WOMEN ACCUSED OF STEALING 460 GALLONS OF FUEL FROM 7-ELEVEN GAS STATION, POLICE SAY "My opinion is Taylor Parker faked her pregnancy. ... She planned and carried out the murder of Reagan," Estes said. Parker's attorney, Jeff Harrelson, challenged that opinion, telling Estes, "You can see somebody looked them up, but you don’t know why. You can have a theory." Parker, 29, has pleaded not guilty to capital murder and kidnapping in the October 2020 deaths of Simmons-Hancock, 21, and the daughter who died after being cut from her mother’s womb. Authorities say Simmons-Hancock was stabbed and cut more than 100 times and had her skull crushed with a hammer in her New Boston, Texas, home before a scalpel was used to remove her unborn baby. She is also charged with non-capital murder in connection with the baby’s death. TEXAS WOMAN ATTACKED, SHOOTS AND KILLS ASSAILANT In her opening statement Monday, Crisp told the Bowie County jury that Parker acted not because she wanted a baby but to keep from losing her boyfriend. Crisp said Parker disguised herself to make her look pregnant for nearly 10 months, faked ultrasounds, had a gender-reveal party and posted about her fake pregnancy on social media while searching for a possible victim, Crisp said. | | | | | North Carolina's lottery numbers for Tuesday, Sept. 13 | | Sep 14, 2022 | | These North Carolina lotteries were drawn Tuesday: Lucky For Life - 12-15-28-29-48, Lucky Ball: 4 Cash5 - 8-11-26-31-35 Mega Millions - 14-25-38-59-64, Mega Ball: 21, Megaplier: 4 Estimated jackpot: $256,000,000 WINNING THE LOTTERY: BLESSING FOR SOME, CURSE FOR OTHERS Pick 3 day - 3-0-6, Lucky Sum: 9 Pick 3 Evening - 3-6-0, Lucky Sum: 9 Pick 4 day - 9-0-2-4, Lucky Sum: 15 Pick 4 Evening - 4-6-5-0, Lucky Sum: 15 Powerball - Estimated jackpot: $206,000,000 NC SHOOTING SUSPECT KILLED, 3 PEOPLE FOUND DEAD IN HOME | | | | | New Jersey's lottery numbers for Tuesday, Aug. 13 | | Sep 14, 2022 | | These New Jersey lotteries were drawn Tuesday: Cash4Life: 09-24-27-31-55, Cash Ball: 1 Powerball Estimated jackpot: $206,000,000 Pick 3: 8-6-3, Fireball: 6 Pick 4: 3-6-5-5, Fireball: 6 WINNING THE LOTTERY: BLESSING FOR SOME, CURSE FOR OTHERS Cash 5: 02-07-26-31-38, Xtra: 2 MEGA MILLIONS LOTTERY DRAWING: WINNERS CAN REMAIN ANONYMOUS IN THESE STATES Estimated jackpot: $1,307,000 Midday Pick 3: 1-3-5, Fireball: 5 Midday Pick 4: 9-5-9-6, Fireball: 5 MEGA MILLIONS JACKPOT WINNER CAN CHOOSE TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS Mega Millions: 14-25-38-59-64, Mega Ball: 21, Megaplier: 4 Estimated jackpot: $256,000,000 | | | | | Ohio's lottery numbers for Tuesday, Sept. 13 | | Sep 14, 2022 | | These Ohio lotteries were drawn Tuesday: Lucky For Life: 12-15-28-29-48, Lucky Ball: 4 Mega Millions: 14-25-38-59-64, Mega Ball: 21, Megaplier: 4 Estimated jackpot: $256,000,000 Pick 3 Evening: 2-8-1 Pick 3 Midday: 8-6-0 WINNING THE LOTTERY: BLESSING FOR SOME, CURSE FOR OTHERS Pick 4 Evening: 2-0-0-0 Pick 4 Midday: 2-7-1-1 Pick 5 Evening: 8-8-1-7-8 Pick 5 Midday: 8-2-0-5-8 Powerball estimated jackpot: 206,000,000 Rolling Cash 5: 05-17-30-33-36 MEGA MILLIONS LOTTERY DRAWING: WINNERS CAN REMAIN ANONYMOUS IN THESE STATES Estimated jackpot: $198,000 | | | | | Texas' lottery numbers for Tuesday, Sept. 13 | | Sep 14, 2022 | | These Texas lotteries were drawn Tuesday: All or Nothing Day: 03-04-05-06-10-12-13-16-19-21-22-24 All or Nothing Evening: 01-02-05-06-09-10-13-17-18-21-22-23 All or Nothing Morning: 02-03-05-06-08-09-12-18-19-20-21-23 WINNING THE LOTTERY: BLESSING FOR SOME, CURSE FOR OTHERS All or Nothing Night: 01-02-03-04-05-06-08-13-17-18-21-23 Cash 5: 01-04-05-07-20 Estimated jackpot: $25,000 Daily 4 Day: 8-7-4-9, FIREBALL: MEGA MILLIONS JACKPOT WINNER CAN CHOOSE TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS Daily 4 Evening: 4-1-6-5, FIREBALL: 8 Daily 4 Morning: 3-7-7-1, FIREBALL: 9 Daily 4 Night: 4-4-1-3, FIREBALL: 7 Mega Millions: 14-25-38-59-64, Mega Ball: 21, Megaplier: 4 Estimated jackpot: $256,000,000 Pick 3 Day: 7-6-7, FIREBALL: 8 Pick 3 Evening: 4-1-1, FIREBALL: 5 Pick 3 Morning: 2-2-7, FIREBALL: 1 Pick 3 Night: 3-2-3, FIREBALL: MEGA MILLIONS LOTTERY DRAWING: WINNERS CAN REMAIN ANONYMOUS IN THESE STATES Powerball estimated jackpot: $206,000,000 | | | | | |
