Marsha Blackburn slams liberal leaders: They 'raised their hands' to be sanctuary cities

Fox News - Latest Headlines Edit Unfollow Marsha Blackburn slams liberal leaders: They 'raised their hands' to be sanctuary cities Sep 12, 2022 Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., called out Democratic leaders over the migrant influx, saying they "raised their hands" to become sanctuary cities as busloads of illegal immigrants arrive from Texas. Blackburn joined "The Faulkner Focus" to discuss the Democrats' response as various cities become overrun.  AS TEXAS SENDS THOUSANDS OF MIGRANTS TO SANCTUARY CITIES, LIBERAL MAYORS SCRAMBLE TO RESPOND  MARSHA BLACKBURN: These cities like Chicago and New York and D.C., where the mayors are complaining, these are the mayors that raised their hand and said we want to be a sanctuary city, and they did that early on. El Paso didn't do that. Other border towns, it did not do that. So sending these migrants, the migrants want to go to these sanctuary cities, these big blue cities. They feel like that is where they are welcomed, so if these mayors want to change what is happening, maybe they need to revisit their policies, and maybe they need to call President Biden and say, please secure that southern border. We cannot handle this influx.  WATCH THE INTERVIEW FROM "THE FAULKNER FOCUS" BELOW:  Continue Reading Prince William, Prince Harry, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle: The Fab Four's rocky recent history Sep 12, 2022 Prince Harry and Prince William surprised the world when they reunited on Saturday to honor their late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. Joined by their wives, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, the "Fab Four" were photographed in all-black ensembles, greeting crowds in Windsor, England.  "I think it was a giant step forward," Shannon Felton Spence, a former British public affairs officer and royal expert, told Fox News Digital. "All of this is a huge step forward considering we haven't seen the brothers together. We haven't seen the wives walking together since before the pandemic. And so I think that it's times like these, in any family, that seem to bring people together." Still, despite the giant step forward, Spence said the awkwardness surrounding the foursome was clear to see. KING CHARLES III LEADS QUEEN ELIZABETH II'S COFFIN PROCESSION IN SCOTLAND "It's a little bit awkward still, you could sort of see some awkwardness in their interactions, probably just because they haven't really spoken in going on three years," Spence continued. "But also now that the king has elevated William and Catherine to Prince and Princess of Wales, it is just a different stratosphere than Duke and Duchess of Sussex. And so, everyone has sort of leveled up in their roles, William and Catherine have leveled up and his father and Camilla have leveled up. And I just think that that power dynamic within the family is still very apparent." Saturday's reunion follows rocky times involving the brothers and their wives, and marked the first time the brothers had been together in more than a year. In July 2021, the two of them reunited at the unveiling of a statue at Kensington Palace honoring their late mother, Princess Diana, on what would have been her 60th birthday.  Prior to that, the brothers came together at Prince Philip's funeral just months earlier, in April 2021. Harry and Meghan married in 2018 and relocated to the United States in 2020 after they stepped down as senior working royals. The controversial move led to an ongoing rift in the Fab Four, and within the greater royal family.  At the funeral for their grandfather, Harry and William reportedly argued with one another at the family gathering, according to British historian and biographer Robert Lacey. "There was no reconciliation, and no brotherly sit-down or 'mini summit' following Prince Philip's funeral," Lacey told the Daily Mail at the time. "The conflict between Diana's two bitterly divided sons does not seem likely to end any time soon." CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER In Lacey’s book "Battle of Brothers: William and Harry – The Inside Story of a Family in Tumult," he suggested the two royals had been at odds over Harry’s relationship with Markle. A rift reportedly formed when Prince William voiced concerns over Harry's relationship with Meghan moving at such a quick pace. Then, following bullying allegations that were made against Markle by a senior palace aide, the rift between the brothers continued to grow. Last week's appearance marked the first time the two couples had been publicly seen together since Commonwealth Day Service in March 2020.  On Friday, Piers Morgan, host of "Piers Morgan Uncensored," joined "Fox & Friends" to discuss the clash between the royal family and Harry and Markle, adding that the boys' late mother, Princess Diana, would be heartbroken over their rift. Moreover, since stepping down from royal duties, Markle and Harry have remained in the spotlight, bashing the royal family in several instances. "You couldn't get a more different attitude than the one of the queen where the queen was always about other people, about service, about duty. It was never about enriching herself because of her status," Morgan said.  Upon hearing of the queen's grave condition on Thursday, Harry and William took separate flights to Balmoral Castle. William was accompanied by Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and Edward's wife Sophie on a Royal Air Force jet, while Harry took a flight on a commercially-leased plane. Royal expert Neal Sean told Fox News Digital of Saturday's reunion, "This was a shock to many, however instigated by King Charles as a form of unity. No trust, but a united front and as many will see Meghan was playing the demure royal role. Moving forward, this could come back to haunt the start of the reign of King Charles as the Brits simply don’t trust both Harry and Meghan."  He also added the that "bigger problem" was the total lack of body language between Kate and Meghan. "The story is far from over," Sean finished.

Autopsies confirmed that all five family members died from gunshot wounds, the Cecil County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release. An unnamed man had called 911 on Friday morning from the Elk Mills home to report that a woman and three children had been shot and were dead, the sheriff's office said. The parents were identified as Marcus Edward Milligan, 39, and Tara Devina Ricker Milligan, 37. Their two daughters and son were identified as Teresa Milligan, 14; Nora Milligan, 11; and Finn Milligan, 8.

BALTIMORE POLICE SHOOT WOMAN WHO DRAGGED OFFICER WITH HER CAR The shooting remained under investigation on Saturday. A sheriff's office spokesman, Lt. Michael Holmes, declined to elaborate on the circumstances of the shooting. "I can say there’s no threat to the public currently," Holmes said. The spokesman wouldn’t address whether they believe the deceased father is the same man who called 911 from the home. The shooting occurred on a cul-de-sac in an area of residential streets interspersed with wooded areas about 60 miles northeast of Baltimore and a few miles west of the Delaware state line. "It’s a horrific day, and I know everybody’s prayers are appreciated," Sheriff Scott Adams said on Friday. "My phone hasn’t stopped ringing from people concerned about this and upset about this."

Continue Reading US district judge blocks EPA appeal of key ruling regarding Flint water case Sep 12, 2022 A judge blocked the Environmental Protection Agency from appealing a key ruling in a long-running lawsuit claiming negligence by the federal government in Flint's lead-contaminated water in 2014-15. U.S. District Judge Judith Levy ruled in 2020 that Flint residents could sue the EPA. Now, two years later, she said she won't put the case on hold to allow the government to appeal that decision to a higher court. Levy said more work must be done by lawyers to develop the case. MICHIGAN BOIL WATER ADVISORY AFFECTS OVER 930K, INCLUDES FLINT "The United States characterizes this complex case as one of merely a series of discrete, clean legal questions — questions it says are all independently controlling, wrongly decided, and subject to reasonable disagreement," the judge said. "But this is far from the case." An appeal in the middle of things fits "only where the quick resolution of a clean question of law could meaningfully speed up the litigation," Levy said Wednesday. Starting in April 2014, Flint pulled water from the Flint River for 18 months without treating it to reduce corrosion. The water caused lead to be released from old pipes and into kitchen taps, bathrooms and water heaters. CHARGES IN FLINT WATER CRISIS DROPPED AGAINST FORMER GOVERNOR, OTHERS: MICHIGAN SUPREME COURT Much of the blame rested with regulators in Gov. Rick Snyder's administration who didn't require corrosion control. The state agreed to pay much of a $626 million settlement with Flint residents, mostly children, who were exposed to the water. But residents are also suing the EPA, which was aware of complaints about the water and had authority to aggressively intervene. The EPA's inspector general found that a regional office failed to establish clear roles and responsibilities. FLINT WATER TRIAL: JUDGE DECLARES MISTRIAL AFTER VERDICT COULD NOT BE REACHED A federal agency has defenses to negligence claims in court, but Levy so far has rejected them. A separate but similar lawsuit against the EPA is being heard by U.S. District Judge Linda Parker. Continue Reading Steph Curry welcomed idea of Kevin Durant trade to Warriors: 'I was never hesitant' Sep 12, 2022 Kevin Durant trade rumors engulfed the NBA offseason as the Brooklyn Nets superstar’s request sent shockwaves through the league before eventually coming to an end. The possibility of Durant being traded back to the Golden State Warriors after leaving the team to join the Nets was a rumor floated into the NBA-sphere over the summer. Stephen Curry would have definitely enjoyed Durant coming back to the team. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Fresh off his fourth NBA championship with the Warriors, Curry told Rolling Stone magazine in a story published Sunday that the Warriors internally discussed the idea of trading for Durant. "There was a conversation internally amongst us about ‘If he was available, would you?’ Every team has those conversations, and obviously in our situation, they’re gonna call me and ask me, ‘How do you feel about it?’" Curry told the magazine. LEBRON JAMES, RAPPERS DRAKE AND FUTURE SUED OVER RIGHTS TO HOCKEY DOCUMENTARY: REPORT "I was never hesitant. The idea of playing with KD and knowing who he is as a person, from our history in those three years, I think KD’s a really good dude. I think he is misunderstood. I think he has had certain things happen in his life that hurt his ability to trust people around him, in a sense of making him feel safe at all times. So all of those things, I understand, having played with him and gotten to know him. I love that dude." Curry maintained it was a no-brainer to entertain that kind of conversation but assured he is more than confident in the current makeup of the roster to go after a second consecutive title. The Nets never found the right deal for Durant and he and the front office would eventually squash whatever beef they had to get him ready for the 2022-23 season. Durant and Curry played together on Golden State for three seasons and won two championships. Continue Reading
