| Kayleigh McEnany calls out Karine Jean-Pierre for border security 'lie' on 'Outnumbered' | | Sep 14, 2022 | | "Outnumbered" co-host Kayleigh McEnany ripped White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for her border security "lie," accusing the Biden administration of doing nothing to "secure" the southern border. McEnany slammed Jean-Pierre for claiming the administration has done "more" for a secure border than former President Trump. VIDEO SHOWS MIGRANTS IN CAMO SCALING ARIZONA WALL AFTER HARRIS SAYS BORDER SECURE KAYLEIGH MCENANY: I'm going to quote someone who has a way with words. And it's my former colleague, Stephen Miller, who to that point said this. Human vocabulary is inadequate to convey the volcanic Vesuvian magnitude of her lie. And I don't use that word lightly, but I use it here because to say that you have done more to secure the border, the natural follow-up is what have you done Joe Biden? You left as a rotting pile, border supplies that should have been used to build the wall. We've all seen the pictures of those materials just sitting there wasting away. You rolled back Remain in Mexico. Oh, yeah. You did that to secure the border? You didn't work with the Mexican government who called you the migrant president to bring troops there to the southern border like President Trump did, and you're trying to roll back Title 42. You have not done one thing to secure this border, and that talking point, I don't use the word lie lightly, but I use it in response to that because that's very evidently what that is. WATCH THE "OUTNUMBERED" SEGMENT BELOW: | | | | | First Alaska native sworn in Congress | | Sep 14, 2022 | | Democrat Mary Peltola was sworn in Tuesday night to finish out the remaining months of the term of the late Rep. Don Young, making her the first Alaska Native to serve in Congress and the first woman to hold the seat. "To have a seat at the table is different," Peltola told The Associated Press in an interview Monday. "But I am just always reminding people that I’m not here to represent just the 16% of Alaskans who are Alaska Natives. I’m here to represent all Alaskans." ALASKA RESIDENTS TO RECEIVE $3,284 FROM STATE DIVIDEND, ENERGY PAYOUT House Speaker Nancy Pelosi held a ceremonial swearing-in with Peltola and the two other new members of the House, Democrat Pat Ryan and Republican Joe Sempolinski of New York, on the chamber floor. Peltola, who is Yup'ik, was donning Alaskan Mukluks, traditional boots, as the other two members of her delegation, GOP Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan, sat behind her applauding at her historic victory. Peltola previously served as a state lawmaker for 10 years representing the rural hub community of Bethel, Alaska. The 49-year-old made history last month when she won the special election to finish out Young's term, besting a field of candidates that included Republican Sarah Palin, who was seeking a political comeback in the state where she was governor. The day before her swearing-in ceremony, Peltola stood outside what was once Young's office, swarmed by the local and national press, and marveled at the moment. "I really hope that Don is getting a kick out of this," Peltola told the AP. "I can’t help but think that some things broke my way on account of his great sense of humor." The kicker is that 50 years ago, right before Peltola was born, her parents worked on Young’s first campaign for the only congressional seat in Alaska. Young won and went on to hold it for 49 years before his death in March. NEW YORK MAN CYCLING TO ALL 50 STATES REACHES ALASKA AND HAWAII: ‘WHAT I JUST DID WAS CRAZY’ Peltola’s campaign has emphasized her dedication to "fish, family and freedom." Fish are a staple in Alaskan life, and salmon holds particular cultural significance to Alaska Natives. A subsistence lifestyle — relying on fish, wildlife and berries — is essential in rural Alaska, including in many Native communities, where goods must be flown or barged in and costs for basic necessities can be exorbitant. Peltola said she sees her few weeks in office as an homage to Young's service as a more moderate force in an increasingly polarized Congress. Like the often gruff Young, Peltola said she is bringing a sense of humor to the job, along with a history of being a consensus-builder with even the most conservative of colleagues. After Palin came in second to Peltola in the special election last month, the two women shared a cordial back-and-forth. In a text message, Palin congratulated her and wrote that she was a "real Alaskan chick! Beautiful & smart and tough." Peltola replied, "Your text means the world to me ... We really are in this together." AIR FORCE MEMBERS TO DRIVE SCHOOL BUSES IN ANCHORAGE, ALASKA The newly elected congresswoman’s time in the Alaska Legislature overlapped with Palin’s time as governor, and the women have remained cordial. Peltola has said that one of the most "unsavory" parts of American politics is negative campaigning. But staying above the fray could prove difficult. Peltola is on the ballot in November to serve a full two-year term, again facing off against Palin, Republican Nick Begich and Libertarian Chris Bye, all of whom advanced from last month’s open primary. That’s partly why Peltola said she doesn’t plan to get too comfortable in her new office, which Young, a Republican, adorned with the heads of bucks and bears and large rifles in a nod to his love of hunting. Now those walls are bare. "It didn’t make sense to really become too entrenched, or decorate, or set up shop," Peltola said. "I really just feel like I’m camping here until the term is over. And then being open and seeing what happens next." | | | | | Wolf population increasing in Oregon, wildlife officials say | | Sep 14, 2022 | | Oregon wildlife officials said Tuesday they have identified a new family of wolves in the northern Cascade Mountains, bringing the total number of known wolf groups in the region to three. The state Department of Fish and Wildlife confirmed the new family of wolves with two adults and two pups. They were discovered in December on the reservation of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, about 100 miles southeast of Portland. AUSTRALIAN MAN KILLED BY KANGAROO, FIRST FATAL ATTACK IN OVER 85 YEARS Tribal biologists have documented their locations using trail cameras, most recently in August. "Wolves will disperse to different places, but when we have resident wolves, like we know they’re sticking in that area, that’s when we create something called an 'area of known wolf activity,’" said agency spokesperson Michelle Dennehy. The new area includes parts of Jefferson and Wasco counties. If the group still has at least four wolves by the end of the year it will be named the Warm Springs Pack, the department said. Environmental groups welcomed the announcement. "I hope this will be an exciting new chapter in the story of wolf recovery in the state, which is seeing wolves dispersing into territory where they haven’t lived for decades," Amaroq Weiss, senior wolf advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity, said in a statement. Wolves once ranged across most of the U.S. but were nearly wiped out by the 1930s under government-sponsored poisoning and trapping campaigns. TIGER STILL MISSING AFTER AN ALLIGATOR, DRUGS, GUNS, MONEY SEIZED IN RAID ON ALBUQUERQUE HOMES The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife counted at least 175 wolves in the state in 2021, an increase of just two from the previous year. It was the slowest rate of wolf growth since 2016, although agency officials did add that wolves expanded their range into four new areas of activity in rural areas in Jefferson, Klamath, Grant and Union counties. The number of documented packs in 2021 decreased from 22 to 21 after an entire pack was killed by poisoning in eastern Oregon. Of the 26 wolf mortalities documented that year, 21 were caused by humans, according to the agency. The Warm Springs group of wolves is the third to be documented in the northern Cascades region, along with the White River group's three wolves and the Metolius group's two. More than 3,000 wolves occupy six states in the Northern Rockies and Pacific Northwest after the animals from Canada were reintroduced in Idaho and Yellowstone National Park starting in 1995. However, wolves remain absent across most of their historical range. BOAT OFF NEW ZEALAND COLLIDES WITH WHALE, LEAVING 5 DEAD In 2011, an Oregon wolf known as OR-7 became the first confirmed wolf west of the Cascades in more than 60 years. He then traveled down into California and became that state's first confirmed wolf in nearly a century. Three of his offspring have been detected in California, according to its Department of Fish and Wildlife. Since then, more wolves have entered California from Oregon and other states. There are currently three known breeding packs in California, with two producing litters this year, according to the agency. Wildlife advocates argue that continued protections are needed so the wolves can continue to expand in Oregon, California and other states. But wolf attacks on livestock and big game herds have angered farmers, ranchers and hunters. In February, a judge restored federal protections under the Endangered Species Act to wolves in the western two-thirds of Oregon. The Trump administration had removed those protections in 2021. | | | | | Fetterman agrees to a live debate with Oz in late October | | Sep 14, 2022 | | Pennsylvania Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman has committed to a televised debate with his Republican challenger, Dr. Mehmet Oz, next month. The debate will be hosted by Nexstar Television in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and is scheduled to take place Oct. 25, two weeks before election day Nov. 8. The debate will be broadcast throughout Pennsylvania and featured live on local network affiliates that cover all of the state's 67 counties. "We said from the start that we’d do a debate, which John reiterated very clearly again last week. Enough distractions, it’s time to talk about the issues," Rebecca Katz, senior advisor to the Fetterman campaign, said in a statement. "While John will be debating Dr. Oz next month, Oz doesn’t have to wait that long to be honest with Pennsylvania voters about where he really stands on abortion. It’s a simple question, doctor: Would you vote for the Republicans’ national abortion ban, or would you vote against it?" Last week, Fetterman agreed to debate Oz, but did not make it clear which debate he would engage in. FETTERMAN SAID DEBATES ARE ‘IMPORTANT PART’ OF DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY Fetterman had previously declined to take part in a debate during the first week of September, which the Oz campaign said was proof he was either not healthy enough to debate, or afraid to defend his policies. The Oz team said Fetterman's refusal to debate was "insulting" Pennsylvania voters' intelligence. Oz took aim at Fetterman over his refusal to debate during a recent interview with Fox News Digital, saying that he is either scared to present his views to voters, or is unable to debate because of poor health following his May stroke. FETTERMAN SAYS HE WILL DEBATE OZ AHEAD OF PENNSYLVANIA SENATE ELECTION AFTER REFUSING TO ACCEPT INVITATION "John Fetterman has been ducking, dodging these debates, which is insulting to the voters of Pennsylvania," Oz told Fox News Digital. "And he has to own the reasons for his desire to avoid a debate with me. Either he's healthy, which he says he is, and doesn't want to answer for his radical positions in past statements, or he's lying about his health." "Either way, the voters of Pennsylvania deserve an answer, and I think they deserve that answer pretty quickly, since the absentee ballots will be mailed out in the next two to three weeks," Oz added. In February, Fetterman said in a tweet that debates were "an important part" of the Democratic primary for Senate. "Debates are an important part of this primary," Fetterman wrote in a February tweet, prior to the Democratic primary election for the Senate seat. "We believe voters deserve no fewer than three network televised debates - including all candidates who make the ballot - before major media markets across PA."

The Aces dominated the Connecticut Sun 85-71 in Game 2 on their home floor Tuesday night. Plum rebounded from a poor Game 1 performance to score 20 points and thanked Wilson for putting her on notice. She was 1-for-9 with six points in the Aces’ Game 1 victory. "I told her she needed to get her s--- together," Wilson said when asked what she told her teammate. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Plum added: "A’ja cussed me out before the game. That’s all I needed. About time I joined the party. They carried us all week. It’s good to hit some shots, but we have one more." Wilson, the two-time WNBA MVP, did not do so bad herself. She scored 26 points and 10 rebounds. Chelsea Gray added 21 points, eight assists, three rebounds and three steals. The leadership the former South Carolina standout brought to the Aces was unmistakable, and her coach Becky Hammon was among those who highlighted it afterward. SUE BIRD'S FINAL WNBA CHAMPIONSHIP RUN ENDS IN STORM'S LOSS TO ACES "She gets it. She understands leadership," Hammon said. "I was watching like everybody else was watching from afar. She’s got beast skills. She’s a beast human. She’s a good one. I’ll go to battle with her any day." Plum added there was a reason why Wilson is one of the best players in the league. Wilson is the first player in WNBA history to have five straight games of 20 points and 10 rebounds in the playoffs. "You can say it’s a run, but she’s just done that all season," Plum said. "I felt like she’s been the most consistent player night in, night out offensively and defensively in this league and that’s why she’s MVP. It’s tremendous." The Sun tried to mount a comeback in the second quarter, but the Aces pulled away in the third. Courtney Williams led the Sun with 18 points on 9-of-17 shooting. Jonquel Jones added 16 points and 11 rebounds. The potential clinching game is set for Sunday in Connecticut.

On "America's Newsroom" Wednesday, Ramaswamy credited Elon Musk for paving the way for those shareholders to express their opinions and impact policies. NY TIMES CLAIMS ELON MUSK ‘DAMAGED’ TWITTER, ‘ERODED TRUST’ DESPITE LONGSTANDING PROBLEMS VIVEK RAMASWAMY: Whether or not Elon Musk ends up completing this acquisition to buy Twitter, I think he has paved the way for shareholders exercising their voice in the boardrooms of these companies. That does not require state action, by the way. So most of the owners of these public companies, including Twitter, are the everyday citizens of this country through other funds managed by BlackRock and State Street and Vanguard that together historically have exercised the vote. I think a lot of everyday citizens can now say, 'You know what, it's my money invested in these companies. I can actually tell these companies myself as a shareholder that I want to see them represent free speech principles rather than censorship principles.' WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW BELOW: | | | | | Minnesota man sentenced to life for selling fentanyl from 'China-based drug suppliers' that killed 11 people | | Sep 14, 2022 | | A Minnesota man was sentenced to life in prison on Monday after being convicted of coordinating with "China-based drug suppliers" to ship deadly fentanyl disguised as Adderall pills to U.S. customers. Aaron Broussard, 32, of Hopkins, Minnesota, was convicted in March of distributing controlled substances, including fentanyl, resulting in the deaths of 11 people in 2016, including University of Minnesota professor Jason Beddow, who was found dead in his office on campus. Another four victims survived the overdoses but suffered serious bodily injuries, including Theodore Trotman, who told the court through a written victim impact statement that he was a university lecturer, gifted linguist and powerlifter before the dose of what he believed to be a knock-off version of Adderall left him legally blind and unable to speak, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported. In imposing the life sentence, Senior U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson told Broussard, "Your disregard for human life is terrifying," according to the Department of Justice. PARENTS OF WOMAN WHO DIED OF FENTANLY OVERDOSE OFFER LARGE CASH REWARD TO IDENTIFY DRUG DEALER Broussard marketed drugs for sale on his website PlantFoodUSA.net, under the guise of selling plant food. On March 12, 2016, he placed a drug order for 100 grams of 4-FA, a knock-off form of Adderall, to be shipped from a China-based drug supplier. But the package really contained 100 grams of "99% pure fentanyl," which Broussard claimed he was not aware of when he shipped orders to U.S. customers. The customers were not opiate users and had no tolerance for the deadly fentanyl Broussard sent them. "A mere two milligrams of fentanyl, equivalent in size to a few grains of salt, is enough to potentially kill a person," DEA Omaha Special Agent in Charge Justin C. King said, reacting to Broussard’s sentencing. Despite experiencing a similar mix-up in 2015, Broussard did not test his shipments, prosecutors said. Broussard continued distributing his deadly packages despite hearing about adverse reactions, prosecutors said. Even after he learned that several customers had been hospitalized and nearly died, he never warned his customers not to take the deadly drugs. Broussard did, however, reach out to his suppliers in China to request a discount on his next delivery. Following a 10-day jury trial in March, Broussard was convicted of 17 counts, including conspiracy, importation of fentanyl, possession with intent to distribute fentanyl, distribution of fentanyl resulting in death, distribution of fentanyl resulting in serious bodily injury, and possession with intent to distribute controlled substance analogues. | | | | |
