Two helicopters collide near Mount Everest during rescue flight, killing one, injuring others

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 17:05:31 -0400

Two helicopters collided while attempting to land just below Mount Everest base camp in Nepal.

The accident happened at about 8:12 a.m. Tuesday in the Pheriche area of Solukhumbu District, according to a translated press release from the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN). The helicopters were identified as an Air Dynasty aircraft and a Fishtail Air aircraft, the aviation authority said.

Two foreign tourists were aboard the Fishtail Air helicopter. One of them, 47-year-old Vasanth Kumar Balaramudu of Chennai, India, died in the accident, according to CAAN.

The other tourist, New Zealand national Shailesh Kisan Patel, was injured, along with at least one pilot involved in the collision, the authority said.

Those injured in the collision were admitted to a hospital in Kathmandu for further treatment, according to the aviation authority.

CAAN has opened an investigation into the accident and will determine whether corrective action is needed based on its findings.

Fishtail Air said its helicopter crashed during landing while transporting passengers rescued from the Everest region, Reuters reported.

The Air Dynasty helicopter was carrying only cargo, an official with the company told Reuters.

Helicopters are a key form of transportation around Everest, where there are no roads. They are used to evacuate trekkers and guides suffering from illness or exhaustion amid the region's cold temperatures and high altitude, according to The Associated Press (AP).

Pheriche, where the accident occurred, sits about 13,780 feet above sea level and is located below Everest base camp, the AP reported.

The collision also came after heavy snow had covered trekking routes in the region.

Conditions improved Sunday, allowing thousands of trekkers to begin moving through the area again, according to the outlet.

Nepal has faced other major travel and safety challenges in recent months.

In September, about 70 Americans remained unaccounted for following catastrophic flooding along the Nepal-China border, while 18 Americans had been confirmed safe, Fox News Digital previously reported.

The flooding was triggered by an Aug. 26 glacier collapse and caused widespread destruction, including flash floods and landslides. Rescue crews were searching areas, including hydropower project tunnels, where workers were believed to be trapped.

U.S. officials warned Americans at the time not to travel to the disaster zone because of the continued threat of additional flash floods and landslides.

At least 1,399 people across Nepal and China's Tibet region died in the disaster, with more than 5,400 others still missing at the time of the report.

Chargers lose again over the weekend, but Madison Beer's Halloween costume was a winner

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 16:36:01 -0400

The Los Angeles Chargers are now 0-7 on the season after losing to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday 24-9. The winless start after going 11-6 last season has been as unexpected as anything that's happened this season.

The finger pointing and blame game are well underway. Is new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel at fault? What happened to Justin Herbert? Is his fiancée, Madison Beer, to blame? Did she ruin the star quarterback?

Did the NFL set them up for failure with the training camp WAG propaganda campaign? Those are only a few of the questions surrounding the team's miserable start to the season.

The only thing left for the Chargers to do is start winning games. Nobody is going to feel sorry for them. Nobody is going to wait around for them to figure it out. They have to show up and keep working through it.

There will be hecklers. There will be outside noise. There will be calls for jobs. All of that comes with being a bad team and right now the Chargers are a bad team. You can't let any of that distract you.

BODY LANGUAGE EXPERT SAYS NFL FANS ARE WRONG ABOUT JUSTIN HERBERT & MADISON BEER VIRAL CAMP VIDEOS

There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe Madison Beer is the one to lead them out of the darkness. She's shrugging off hecklers like a veteran, standing in the pocket and delivering.

That's the only way to describe the Nurse Ratched Halloween costume she ended up wearing this year.

It's been said many, many times before, but it's always worth repeating. It's easy to show up when you're winning. It's much more difficult to do when you're not.

You can learn a lot about what you're made of when you're going through a tough stretch. I think we all learned that Madison Beer has what it takes to ride the ups and the downs that come with life in the NFL.

Hard Rock Bet is offering new users the chance to bet $5 and get $500 in No Sweat Bets, with a token waiting for you every day for 10 days.

Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl against Connor Hellebuyck is the best matchup of the night. Hellebuyck is 2-0-0 with a 1.50 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage since joining New Jersey, which is why the Devils are home favorites. Edmonton counters with Tristan Jarry, who has two shutouts but a .901 save percentage.

The Devils won the last meeting 2-1 in January, and the books are expecting another tight game with the under juiced at -125. That’s exactly the kind of game where the puck line matters.

Why isn’t Angel Reese held to the Caitlin Clark standard when fans attack her teammates?

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 16:22:02 -0400

The WNBA media constantly demands that Caitlin Clark answer for internet trolls. They tell her she needs to condemn "racism, misogyny and homophobia," even though she has nothing to do with the messages other players receive on social media.

But does that standard change when the players facing online trolling are being attacked due to their proximity to a different WNBA star, one who receives very different treatment from those same commentators?

ANGEL REESE, ATLANTA DREAM DISAPPOINTED AFTER WNBA FINALS GAME 7 LOSS: 'WE'LL BE BACK'

Atlanta Dream players Jordin Canada and Rhyne Howard are now on the receiving end. And the hate isn't coming from supposed Caitlin Clark fans; it's coming from supposed Angel Reese fans.

Will the commentators who keep assigning Clark responsibility for other people’s behavior apply their standard to Reese?

Don't hold your breath.

For the record, I don’t think either player owes anyone a statement. Neither Clark nor Reese is responsible for what other people do or say online. However, I do think the people who keep demanding condemnations from Clark owe us an explanation as to why they aren't keeping up that energy when it's Reese at the center.

The list of WNBA media members who have openly called for Clark to denounce online hate, something Clark has done multiple times by the way, is almost too long to count. But let's recap a few of the biggest ones:

Those examples span from 2024 through this season. So, this isn't new. These people have been making demands of Clark for three seasons, despite her repeated condemnations of the behavior.

CAITLIN CLARK SAYS SHE BLOCKS SOCIAL MEDIA HATE AND ENJOYS HOSTILE WNBA ROAD CROWDS

On July 3, Clark once again delivered a lengthy statement condemning online hate. She explicitly extended that condemnation to the treatment of opponents, teammates and coaches.

"The harassment, the hate, none of that is okay. … There should never be question of character. Like I’ve always stood up here and said that and that’s truly what I believe. That’s how I was raised. … none of that is okay. And I don’t want anybody to ever experience that," Clark said.

A reporter raised the subject again at her October 8 season-ending news conference. Asked about Kelsey Mitchell’s comments on the treatment she receives, Clark was also asked to address "the attention this team receives because of you, but maybe not attention that you necessarily asked for."

There’s that familiar framing again. Other people send the messages, but Clark gets asked to account for the attention surrounding her teammates.

So she answered. Again.

"As far as people that have used me to demonstrate racist rhetoric or hate or discrimination, that’s not something I stand for," Clark said.

The expectations come from commentators, the questions come from reporters, and Clark keeps giving them an answer.

But apparently, that still wasn’t enough.

On October 23, ESPN analyst Monica McNutt said: "There is no way that someone would use my likeness to support causes that I am against."

Clark has already told people she opposes that behavior. Repeatedly. How many more statements would satisfy McNutt?

And now that people defending Angel Reese are attacking Reese’s own teammates, does McNutt expect the same response from her?

My guess? Not a chance.

Jordin Canada returned to social media after avoiding it during the playoffs and immediately found a reminder of why she had stayed away.

"It blows my mind that as fans yall CHOOSE to say the hurtful and cruel things out loud and on here," she wrote, describing the comments as "heartless, rude, insensitive."

Some of the posts targeting her and Howard make their allegiance clear. One account accused Howard, coach Karl Smesko and the Dream’s owners of selling Reese out in a supposedly rigged Finals. Another defended Reese while calling Canada and Howard "BOTH selfish players and human beings" and accusing them of not caring about winning. And some of the attacks were explicitly racist, including posts using the N-word.

So where is the insistence that Reese address online trolls "invoking her name" as an excuse to attack other players? So far, the WNBA media has been silent.

WNBA FINALS TEAMS END SEASON WITH ONE FINAL NATIONAL ANTHEM SNUB AS DREAM, VALKYRIES LEAVE COURT

Reese, meanwhile, outlined her plans for the next six months. In an Instagram post (on her private secondary account), Reese announced she is pausing her podcast for the offseason, plans occasional YouTube vlogs and will spend time resting and working out in Florida.

Her explanation: "i’m dedicating this off season to myself."

Can you imagine Caitlin Clark announcing that she's taking the next six months to focus on herself while her teammates are complaining about receiving nasty messages on social media? The WNBA media might never recover from such a scenario.

We’d get days, probably weeks and maybe even months of lectures about leadership, accountability and whether Clark was abandoning the teammates receiving online abuse.

Think pieces would be plastered all over The Guardian, The Athletic, ESPN and other left-wing sites explaining how White women have the privilege of focusing on themselves while Black women have no choice but to always worry about everyone else in their "community."

They would all demand that Caitlin Clark issue yet another statement. Then, they would complain that the statement wasn’t enough. The whole cycle would fuel the WNBA media ecosystem through the entire offseason.

So, where are the lectures for Angel Reese? Anyone see any think pieces about how Reese is being selfish? Didn't think so.

All of this unfolds in a league that spends an extraordinary amount of time talking about what people (and bots) say on the internet.

In August, after Sophie Cunningham’s comments about "biological men" competing in women’s sports sparked a debate over eligibility, WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert told teams an upcoming meeting of the league’s anti-hate task force would address whether males should be eligible to play in the WNBA.

Yahoo Sports reported that meeting instead largely focused on online hate directed at players. Even with eligibility rules on the agenda, the WNBA couldn’t stop talking about internet trolls.

USA SPORTS, NBC CLAIM RECORD WNBA FINALS RATINGS, BUT COMPARISONS LEAVE OUT IMPORTANT CONTEXT

That’s what I wanted to ask Engelbert about when I attended her October 17 press conference before Game 1 of the WNBA Finals. Why does online commentary warrant so much of the league’s time and attention? And does repeatedly highlighting negativity overshadow the positive things happening with attendance and television audiences?

I wasn’t called on.

Engelbert nevertheless returned to the subject in her final answer, condemning people who sit "behind a keyboard to spew vitriol and hate and racism and misogyny at our players."

After all those meetings, statements and lectures, you’d think the reporters, analysts and commentators demanding more from Caitlin Clark would recognize a familiar situation in Atlanta.

Where are you, Elle Duncan, Monica McNutt, Sarah Spain, and Nancy Armour? Where are your demands for Angel Reese to defend her teammates?

Again, I don’t think Reese owes anyone a statement. Clark doesn’t, either.

But the people who have spent three seasons assigning that responsibility to Clark should explain why their standard apparently disappears when applying it would require them to make demands of Reese.

In the WNBA media’s world, Caitlin Clark has to answer for the internet.

But Angel Reese gets to focus on herself.

'Grand Theft Auto' community organizing 'last ride' on old game before release of 'GTA VI,' but why?

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 16:18:45 -0400

November is finally upon us, and aside from setting our clocks back an hour, that also means we are a little more than two weeks away from the release of "Grand Theft Auto VI."

The hotly anticipated title is set to drop on November 19, and the gaming community at large can hardly wait, which is understandable considering they've gone 13 years between installments.

Yes, hard to believe that, as of September 17 of this year, "Grand Theft Auto V" would be old enough to see a PG-13 movie in theaters.

UNKNOWN HACKER ALLEGEDLY LEAKS SEVERAL MINUTES OF GRAND THEFT AUTO VI GAMEPLAY AHEAD OF NETFLIX REVEAL

Given the large time gap between games, you would expect there to be equal parts yearning for the new game as there is nostalgia for the old one, and from that nostalgia comes the "Last Ride."

The "Last Ride" was pitched by the GTA community, and will see thousands of players take one last lap around the map of Los Santos — the in-game world for "GTA V" based heavily on Los Angeles — the night before "GTA VI's" big release.

It's been trending heavily on social media, with gaming outlets all over the world picking up on it.

As a particularly nostalgic person myself as well as a fan of the "Grand Theft Auto" series, I can see where these guys and gals are coming from with the "Last Ride," but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense when you peel the layers back a bit.

For starters, "GTA V" isn't going anywhere.

On November 20, you will still be able to pop the disc into your Xbox or Playstation and ride around Los Santos in your vehicle of choice to your heart's content.

Hell, I still play "GTA IV" about as much as I play its predecessor, and I doubt I'll stop playing either once VI comes around.

If you love the game that much, I guarantee you November 18 won't be the last time you ever play "GTA V."

I appreciate the symbolism, but let's not get melodramatic here.

When "Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask" came out, do you think everyone just immediately chucked their copies of "Ocarina of Time" in the trash?

NINTENDO OF AMERICA RELEASES TEASER TRAILER CONFIRMING LEGEND OF ZELDA: OCARINA OF TIME REMAKE IN 2026

No, and as a matter of fact, the demand for "Ocarina of Time" has remained so high over the last 28 years that a remake is coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 later this month.

This isn't "Madden" or "FIFA," where an updated version makes last year's game immediately obsolete.

"GTA V" is unique because of the world the developers created as well as the memories those who played the game created for themselves.

I'm not here to yuck anyone's yum; take the "Last Ride."

Enjoy it.

Reminisce on all the good times you had these last 13 years, but let's not act like "GTA V" is being relegated to the shelf for all of eternity come November 19.

NTSB finds 'no evidence' of Mar-a-Lago connection after Florida jet crash kills nine people

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 16:13:21 -0400

A critical piece of the private jet that plunged into a Florida neighborhood was found miles from the impact site, federal investigators revealed Tuesday as crews prepared to drain the crater left by the crash that killed nine people.

Asked about the crash occurring less than 10 miles from President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home and any potential connection to Secret Service operations, National Transportation Safety Board member Tom Chapman dismissed a link.

"There is no evidence of connection. Purely coincidence," he said.

FORMER NFL STAR SAYS HE PREVIOUSLY FLEW ON PRIVATE JET THAT CRASHED IN FLORIDA: 'ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED'

Most of the Learjet 60’s left elevator was recovered between 1.3 and 3.8 miles from the crash site in Palm Beach County, Chapman said during the agency’s final onsite briefing.

The discovery adds to evidence that the aircraft began breaking apart before impact. The elevator is a movable surface on the aircraft’s tail that helps control whether its nose points up or down.

But Chapman said he did not believe the component would have enabled the aircraft to recover even if it had remained attached, given the speed of the jet’s descent.

The Learjet was carrying seven passengers and two crew members from Austin, Texas, to North Eleuthera in the Bahamas when it crashed Sunday, killing everyone aboard.

FAA SEEKS PERMANENT AIRSPACE RESTRICTIONS NEAR TRUMP’S MAR-A-LAGO AS EXPERT WARNS RULES ARE ‘NOT GOOD ENOUGH’

Investigators are now preparing to remove water from the impact crater, where Chapman said they expect to recover additional aircraft components. Given the force of the crash, pieces buried there will likely be small.

Severe weather has hampered some recovery efforts, and weather remains a key focus of the investigation. The cause of the crash has not been determined.

Investigators have also obtained dashcam footage to help reconstruct the aircraft’s final moments, Chapman said. Recovered wreckage is being retained for analysis, and officials urged anyone who encounters debris to leave it untouched and notify authorities.

The crew had reported light clear ice and moderate turbulence while flying at about 35,000 feet before requesting permission to climb to 37,000 feet. Less than 30 seconds after controllers approved the request, the crew reported they were descending and issued a mayday call.

Roughly 600 residents near Military Trail and Cresthaven Boulevard were evacuated after the crash, according to The Palm Beach Post.

Between 40 and 50 people were staying at the Greenacres Community Center, Palm Beach County spokesperson John Jamason told the outlet. County officials were seeking state funding to help displaced residents with housing and transportation while authorities worked at the crash site.

TRUMP HELICOPTER’S RADIO WARNINGS WENT UNHEARD BEFORE CLOSE CALL WITH PASSENGER JET, REPORT SAYS

Officials said during Tuesday’s briefing that Military Trail remained closed in both directions between 10th Avenue North and Purdy Lane. They did not provide a timeline for reopening the road or allowing displaced residents to return home.

Among those killed were Austin technology entrepreneur Adam Robinson, 45, his wife, Helen Sharp, 40, and their children, Emma, 4, and Charlie, 2.

NORAD FIGHTER JETS INTERCEPT 2 AIRCRAFT NEAR TRUMP’S GOLF CLUB, 3RD PLANE DELAYS HIS NJ DEPARTURE

Robinson, CEO and co-founder of Retention.com, had celebrated a business milestone in his final LinkedIn post the day of the crash, announcing that RB2B had reached $10 million in annual recurring revenue. He was also preparing for a live business debate scheduled for Tuesday.

"Adam and Helen were devoted parents, and Emma, 4, and Charlie, 2, were the light of their lives. Helen and Adam were the love affair that will last forever," the families said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital.

"Their warmth, generosity and gift for making people feel welcome touched so many lives. Their loss will be felt deeply by all those who loved them and who they loved in return."

Chapman expressed confidence that investigators would determine what happened and thanked Florida and Palm Beach County authorities and first responders for their assistance.

Officials added that further investigative updates will be posted on the NTSB’s website.

ASRA NOMANI: Muslim reformers reject ‘fire will rise’ warning if El-Sayed loses as 'Jihad First'

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 15:54:50 -0400

American Muslim reformers are torching political commentator Wajahat Ali after he warned that "the fire will rise" and people will be "radicalized" if Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed loses his Michigan Senate bid, saying his language echoes a "Jihad First" intimidation rhetoric used by religious tyrants before elections in the Middle East.

On Monday, Ali drew fire on X when he wrote: "If, God forbid, Abdul loses, this will be a watershed moment in Democratic politics. The fire will rise. It’s over. People will be radicalized against corporate, pro-Israel Dems. There will be a reckoning. If, when, he wins, it will be a watershed moment. And that reckoning will still come."

After facing backlash, Ali posted another message Tuesday morning, expressing no regrets and instead scolding critics for alleged bigotry. "Ah, that Islamophobia and anti-Arab bigotry are so pure and naked," Ali wrote. "People are just coming out in the open about how they’ve always felt. Great. Please, be honest. Just share the ugliness with the world so we can all see."

Ali didn't respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

Reform-minded Muslim leaders aren't buying Ali's rhetoric.

The divide with Muslim reformers reflects a broader fissure within American Muslim politics: between establishment organizations and leaders who accept political Islam, or Islamism — the idea that religion should shape government and political life — and reform-minded critics who challenge orthodoxy, reject anti-Israel and anti-Western rhetoric and support secularism, including the separation of mosque and state.

"What Wajahat Ali said on the eve of elections is actually the language we’ve seen Islamists use before elections in countries in the Middle East, including Egypt," Dalia Ziada, an Egyptian Muslim reformer and critic of political Islamism, told Fox News Digital.

"The threat is usually: If you don’t choose us, this will lead to radicalization, and this will lead to violence," added Ziada, who is Washington, D.C., director at the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy. "Maybe we need to expect troubles coming up."

EL-SAYED'S PAST MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD COMMENTS RAISE RED FLAGS AS HE EYES POWERFUL ROLE

Soraya Deen, a Muslim reform activist, attorney and co-founder of the Los Angeles Women's Multifaith Alliance, said Ali’s language shouldn't be treated as a routine social-media outburst.

"His words are deeply troubling," Deen told Fox News Digital. "His warning that ‘the fire will rise,’ that people will be ‘radicalized,’ and that a ‘reckoning’ is coming deserves serious scrutiny."

"Losing an election is not a license for radicalization," added Deen, . "We must reject intimidation, political extremism and the politics of perpetual grievance."

EX-DSA MEMBER RIPS ABDUL EL-SAYED AND WARNS FAR-LEFT ADOPTING POLITICS OF FOREIGN TERROR ORG

Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, a Muslim reformer and founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, said Ali’s comments reflect what he describes as a "Jihad First" lens for viewing political conflict.

"Wajahat Ali, like Abdul El-Sayed, proves yet again their decades of anti-American Islamist obsession and the ‘Jihad First’ lens through which they view every cultural, social, military and political conflict," said Jasser, who is running for Congress as a Republican candidate in Arizona’s 4th Congressional District.

Jasser’s comments were directed at what he described as the political rhetoric surrounding El-Sayed’s campaign. The reformers didn't accuse Ali of belonging to an Islamist organization. Their criticism focused on language they said resembles tactics used to pressure voters by warning that rejecting a candidate could produce violence or radicalization.

EL-SAYED TRIES TO MAKE PEACE WITH JEWISH DEMOCRATS BUT DRAWS LINE AT DUMPING HASAN PIKER

Ali’s comments came as El-Sayed’s campaign draws support from a wide network of Muslim advocacy groups, Palestinian activist organizations, progressive groups, labor organizations and political influencers.

A Fox News Digital review of campaign endorsements, public statements and voter-mobilization efforts identified 70 Muslim groups and influencers supporting El-Sayed’s political orbit one way or another. The records include formal endorsements, campaign-listed support, voter mobilization and public amplification. Not every organization has the same relationship with the campaign.

They include CAIR Action, Americans for Justice in Palestine Action, Bangladeshi Americans for Political Progress, Emgage Action and the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights. El-Sayed's official website includes endorsements from "Muslims for Abdul," the Yemeni American Michigan Democratic Caucus, the Michigan Bangladeshi American Democratic Caucus and Palestinian American political operative Linda Sarsour's MPower Action, among others.

ABDUL EL-SAYED REPORTEDLY CALLED HASAN PIKER WARNING HIS RHETORIC WAS 'COSTING' VOTES

The broader coalition supporting El-Sayed includes Democratic Party organizations and Democratic Socialists of America chapters, as well as online commentators and political figures including Hasan Piker, Linda Sarsour, Rep. Ilhan Omar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib.

The organizations and individuals have overlapping priorities, including opposition to U.S. support for Israel, demands for an arms embargo or cease-fire, support for Palestinian activism, criticism of Democratic moderates and efforts to mobilize Muslim and progressive voters.

The coalition’s critics have described it as a "red-green" alliance involving "red" left-wing political organizations and "green" Muslim advocacy groups.

"Their red-green ‘Jihad First’ filter — threatening fire and radicalization — is simply an unmooring of their own dreams to live the jihad of Islamism and destroy the American dream and everything for which it stands," Jasser said. "Patriotism is not in their vocabulary."

TRUMP SAYS ISRAEL WILL STOP RECEIVING $4B IN US AID BY YEAR'S END, CAN STILL BUY WEAPONS

For Ziada, the significance of Ali’s post lies in the suggestion that an election loss could trigger radicalization.

"Muslims like Wajahat Ali are just using the political movement backing Abdul El-Sayed as a staircase to bring them to the power of a chair they want to claim," Ziada said. "Once they get there, they don’t care what they may have promised. And if they don’t get there, they will turn it into fire."

Ziada also criticized El-Sayed’s campaign rhetoric about Israel, comparing what she described as repeated attacks on Israel to political tactics used by leaders in the Middle East. Tuesday morning, President Donald Trump announced that he would cut off $4 billion of aid to Israel, one of the network's demands, designed to isolate the nation.

"The demonization of Israel that we saw very prominently in the campaign of El-Sayed is a tactic that we saw Middle Eastern dictators resorting to every now and then," Ziada said.

"Whenever they are stuck with economic issues or politics, they just bring up the ‘Israel is bad’ card," she added. "Again, he is just copying dictators in the Middle East."

Jasser said the episode should prompt Muslim voters and Democratic leaders to examine the language used by political influencers who claim to speak for Muslim communities.

"Any honest Muslim who reads that post will see ‘Jihad First’ and everyone else be damned, including patriotic Muslims," Jasser said.

Ali has emerged as a prominent media figure over more than two decades, writing for and appearing on outlets including The Daily Beast, The New York Times, CNN and The Guardian. He also hosted programming for Al Jazeera America.

His political activism began after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, when he became involved in campus protests at the University of California, Berkeley. He later worked with Democratic operative Faiz Shakir, who became campaign manager for Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign, at the Center for American Progress, a nonprofit established by former Clinton administration chief of staff John Podesta.

Ali has continued to weigh in on Israel, Democratic Party strategy and Muslim political activism, regularly drawing fire. Earlier this year, in a broadcast with former MSNBC host Joy Reid, the two decried "weak White mean" in a heated anti-Trump rant.

Most recently, Ali hosted a speaker who criticized Democratic House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries for receiving political contributions from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, calling him an "AIPAC monkey." The smear drew cries of racism against Jeffries, who is Black.

Now, Muslim reformers are scolding Ali for making comments that seem to threaten voters with "fire," a "reckoning" and a "radicalized" citizenry if his preferred candidate loses.

Deen said the response to an election should be political disagreement, not warnings of unrest.

"Losing an election is not a license for radicalization," Deen said. "We must reject intimidation, political extremism and the politics of perpetual grievance."

Supreme Court offers support for Catholic preschools challenging state funding requirements

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 15:43:14 -0400

The Supreme Court's conservative majority offered clear support Tuesday for Catholic preschools that claim Colorado's taxpayer-funded program improperly excludes them by unconstitutionally intruding on their religious rights.

At issue is whether those private education institutions that deny admission to children of LGBTQ+ parents violate state anti-discrimination laws, and can therefore be denied a generally applicable public benefit.

It is the latest high-profile religious rights appeal to reach the high court in recent years, several of them originating from Colorado.

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS, BANNED RIFLES AND ‘CLIMATE LAWFARE’: BLOCKBUSTER FIGHTS AWAIT SUPREME COURT

In a lively two-hour oral argument, the justices debated competing interests involving both religious liberty and a state's interest in ensuring equal opportunity for gay and lesbian parents.

"I'm hard-pressed to think that, given those [Catholic] teachings, that any homosexual family is going to choose to go to one of these schools, but that should be their choice, not your choice to exclude them," said Justice Sonia Sotomayor to the lawyer for the plaintiffs. "That's what you're asking for... You want an official statement by the State that I will subsidize you with public money even though – because I have a right to reject children."

ANDREA PICCIOTTI-BAYER: COLORADO'S UNIVERSAL PRESCHOOL REVIVES VILE ANTI-CATHOLIC LAWS

But Justice Brett Kavanaugh said the state's motives, however well-intentioned, are promoting a kind of conformity that is not constitutionally permissible.

"Why not seek the win/win?" Kavanaugh asked the attorney for the state. "There are plenty of opportunities to respect the rights of the religious believers and respect the ability of LGBT parents to find among the 2,000 [Colorado] schools an appropriate fit for their children.

"It seems like this is a would-be solution in search of a problem that is unnecessary to create this clash," he added. "There's an ability for everyone to go to the school, a good school that's a fit for them, and respect religious rights."

Colorado established a Universal Preschool Program (UPK) in a 2020 ballot measure, distributing public funds for participating schools, with the requirement they "provide eligible children an equal opportunity to enroll and receive preschool services regardless of race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, gender identity, lack of housing, income level, or disability."

Two Catholic parishes sued, arguing the policy targets their sincerely held beliefs about same-sex marriage.

The archdiocese in the state manages 34 preschools, with a policy to only admit students from families who support Catholic ideology, including on same-sex relationships and gender identity.

They seek exemptions to the Colorado law, arguing their exclusion is a form of religious discrimination in violation of the First Amendment.

The Trump administration has signaled its support of the religious plaintiffs.

The state counters its public benefit conditions are neutral and generally applied to every preschool.

It provides a $6,300 annual benefit per child for up to 15 hours a week of preschool, with money coming from a tobacco tax.

Officials told the nine-member bench that religious schools are free to participate but must abide by nondiscrimination laws, similar to those affecting low-income and disabled students.

As part of its review of the Colorado dispute, the high court will decide whether to narrow a 36-year-old precedent that religious practices do not create exemptions from broadly applicable laws.

The First Amendment states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

The Supreme Court in prior decades had focused on the first part, ensuring a constitutional separation of church and state, when disputes over religious rights reached the public sphere.

But the current conservative bench in the past few years — led by Justice Samuel Alito — has trended toward favoring religious institutions raising "free exercise" claims.

The justices have separately backed a Colorado baker, mental health counselor and website developer, who all challenged the state's anti-discrimination policies.

The oral arguments Tuesday seemed to divide along ideological lines.

Conservative justices focused on the "free exercise" claims by the Catholic parishes that state requirements for receiving public benefits amounted to religious discrimination.

"Explain what the difference is between [explicitly excluding Catholic schools] and then choosing to impose a condition that you know that those schools will be unable to agree to?" said Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

But Justice Elena Kagan cited the court's prior cases, which she said affirmed the idea "you can't treat religious institutions differently."

"That's not the principle that's at issue here," Kagan said. "The principle at issue here is: Do you have to treat them better?"

Chief Justice John Roberts asked tough questions of both sides and his vote could prove determinative. At one point, he expressed skepticism that recent rulings favoring the rights of religious schools over similar claims should also prevail in the current petition.

"The law in those cases, in each of them, expressly discriminated against religious schools on its face," Roberts told Reaves. "That's not the case here," suggesting Colorado's law may be applied fairly across the board.

The current dispute was brought by plaintiffs including St. Mary Catholic School.

Erika Nagle, whose children attend the Littleton facility, told Fox News Digital that two of her children were denied access to the state's preschool funding program, leaving her family to cover additional education expenses.

"We are being excluded from this benefit because we are Catholic," Nagle said in an interview with Fox News Digital. "And so in a state that preaches inclusion, they are actively going out of their way to exclude a huge chunk of people because of our religious beliefs.

"We have had two preschools in the archdiocese that have been closed down," she added. "The state is dangling a carrot over here, incentivizing people to leave their faith, to abandon the Catholic education that they want."

The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty represented the plaintiffs in court, arguing the state's policies are having severe consequences, with enrollment at archdiocesan preschools falling 20% and two schools shuttered.

The state counters that religious entities like Catholic Charities, at least three dozen Christian schools, one Muslim and three Jewish schools continue to participate in the preschool funding program.

"Colorado welcomes religious preschools" to its program, state attorney Helen Norton told the high court. "The only thing Colorado asks is that they comply with the same conditions that every publicly funded preschool must meet, religious and secular alike."

The case is St. Mary Catholic Parish v. Roy (25-581), with a ruling expected by next spring.

Country singer Nicole Taylor of Taylor Red dead at 35

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 15:42:14 -0400

Nicole Taylor, a singer in the country trio Taylor Red, has died. She was 35.

On Monday, Nika and Natalie Taylor, the other members of the group and Nicole's sisters, announced her death in a TikTok post.

"We’re heartbroken to announce the passing of our sister, Nicole Taylor," Nika said. "We honestly thought she’d be healed here on earth, but now she’s healed in heaven."

STARS WE'VE LOST IN 2026

Nicole, who was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer in 2022, died Sept. 28 at her home in Nashville, according to a memorial page created by her family.

"It was an aggressive type [of cancer]. In her words, when she first found out, were, ‘God’s gonna use this for his glory,’" Natalie said. "She fought it fearlessly, and she said, ‘We’re not going to live in dread during all of this.’ And she even did CrossFit while she was doing her chemo treatments. She responded well to treatments, and she was declared evidence without disease."

'BAYWATCH' STAR NICOLE EGGERT EXPOSES FINANCIAL TOLL OF CANCER BATTLE: 'THE BILLS DON'T STOP'

They shared that Nicole was told "nine months later" that the cancer had returned as Stage 4, and she had "around three months" to live.

"[The doctor said] if the treatments worked, they didn’t know how long [she'd have] after that," Nika said.

"We’re still processing everything," Natalie said while fighting back tears. "This, honestly, feels really hard to talk about, but we’re going to do our best to share her story."

PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE

The sisters said Nicole "lived around a year after that prognosis."

"During the time of the more extreme diagnosis, we felt led to not live in fear and claim healing," Nika said.

"She said she had so much peace, and we’re really thankful for that," Natalie said. "We are still shocked and didn’t think this would happen, but we know she’s not suffering anymore."

Megan Moroney confirms WAG status, college hoops' wildest free throw & good for Jeffery Simmons

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 15:40:49 -0400

'Nightcaps' is a daily column that catches you up on the biggest sports, news and culture stories you may have missed while pretending to do work at your desk. It runs Monday-Friday on OutKick.com.

I learned a valuable tip very early in my journalism career: Never read the comments.

And for the most part, I follow that rule. But over the weekend, I was out on Old Hickory Lake covering The Champions, a massive bass fishing tournament with a $3.25 million purse.

It was also our first big event since OutKick OutDoors became officially official back in August. So naturally, I was curious to see what people were saying.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE

And after scrolling the comments, I made an alarming discovery: There are an awful lot of you who think there's some sort of mass bass genocide happening on lakes across the country.

Friends, allow me to explain how this works.

These tournaments are catch-and-release. Anglers keep their fish alive in aerated livewells on their boats, hold them up for a few quick seconds during weigh-in, and then the fish are returned to the lake.

In fact, keeping those fish alive is such a priority that competitors are heavily penalized if they bring a dead fish to the scales.

Unfortunately, things do happen sometimes. But the entire process is designed to keep as many of them swimming as possible.

And for the record, there's absolutely nothing wrong with legal hunting and fishing, harvesting animals for food. But before y'all come yelling at me for covering bass fishing, please understand we're not out here just murdering smallmouth in droves for funsies.

MATT ROBERTSON WINS RECORD $1.25 MILLION FISHING PRIZE, DECLARES 'TRAILER TRASH FOR LIFE'

Maybe just relax, grab yourself a beer from the garage fridge, kick back and enjoy some Nightcaps.

So you can all breathe easier now that we finally have confirmation.

After months of dating rumors, suspiciously timed trips to Italy and a phone lock screen that seemingly gave the whole thing away, country music star Megan Moroney and USMNT soccer star Christian Pulisic are officially an item.

Apparently, Moroney was chatting with actress Eiza González at the TIME100 Gala in New York City last Thursday when González reportedly joked, "We're the new generation of WAGs."

González is dating tennis star Grigor Dimitrov, while Moroney has apparently claimed her spot on Team Pulisic.

PEOPLE subsequently confirmed that the country singer and AC Milan star are, in fact, dating.

Congratulations to the happy couple. And now we can close this case.

Look, it's no secret that I despise the Tennessee Titans.

As someone who used to work there, I can confirm the absolute dumpster fire they put out on the field every Sunday is directly reflective of the ownership and front office that runs the place.

I was thrilled for Derrick Henry when he got out of Nashville — and for Kevin Byard, too. So now I'm equally pumped that Big Jeff Simmons is in Chicago and will actually have a chance at a ring.

And man, did he make one hell of a first impression.

As a Miami Dolphins fan, I'll likely never see a Super Bowl in my lifetime. I'm at peace with this. But I'm a Bears fan by marriage, so I hope they keep it up.

I do not claim to be an expert on the fundamentals of basketball. My hoops career ended in fifth grade when I got frustrated with girls 7 inches taller than me boxing me out in the school gym.

But even I know you're not supposed to shoot a free throw like you're trying to launch a grenade over enemy lines.

Allow me to introduce you to Kendall Puryear, a 6-foot-3 forward for the University of South Florida women's basketball team, who has perhaps the most unhinged free throw form I've ever seen.

Seriously, watch this.

WHAT WAS THAT?!

Puryear, who transferred from Purdue this offseason, went to the line twice during Monday's 80-54 win over Furman and missed both attempts. Which, given the mechanics we're working with here, isn't exactly shocking.

For the record, Puryear was actually a standout shot put thrower in high school, ranking No. 1 in Missouri. Which actually explains a whole lot.

But like I said, not a basketball connoisseur over here. We'll need Dan Dakich to weigh in.

Let's open the mailbag.

Retired NYPD officer arrested after 'off with his head' post over Florida mosque expansion

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 15:29:28 -0400

A retired NYPD officer living in Florida was arrested Monday after authorities say he made a social media post calling for the beheading of a Pinellas County commissioner who recently voted to approve the expansion of a local mosque.

Rodolfo Mienert, who now lives in St. Petersburg, allegedly commented on a Facebook post criticizing Pinellas County Commissioner Brian Scott for supporting a land-use change that would allow the North Pinellas mosque to expand.

According to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, the 68-year-old ex-officer called Scott a "Republican turncoat" before writing, "off with his head!"

Mienert posted this Facebook comment under the username "Rudy MineAllmine," according to an affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital.

OHIO MAN CHARGED OVER GRAPHIC THREATS TO KILL TRUMP, BEHEAD GOP LAWMAKER

The account's profile picture shows Bugs Bunny holding a revolver, while its bio reads, "...if I pissed off a libtard today, I'm happy!! no further reply!!"

The last post made by this account reposted a campaign video from Scott, accompanied with the message: "DO NOT vote for this person, he voted FOR a mosque."

Detectives traced the IP address of the account that made the post to Mienert, who later confirmed the account was his.

MAN INDICTED FOR ALLEGEDLY POSTING GRUESOME DEATH THREATS AGAINST KRISTI NOEM, PAM BONDI ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Mienert told detectives he is "very vocal and not afraid to share his opinion" on political issues and said he called Scott a "turncoat" because of his vote to approve the mosque expansion.

Mienert also told detectives he had attended an Oct. 27 County Commission meeting where residents discussed the mosque issue at length.

During that meeting, he said he escaped New York to "beautiful Florida" and claimed the growing footprint of the mosque would damage the environment and make traffic worse.

Mienert was arrested and charged with one felony count of a written or electronic threat to kill, an offense that carries a maximum of 15 years in prison in Florida.

In a statement, Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said that "threatening to cut off the head of a county commissioner because of his vote on a land issue is intolerable and we will strictly enforce the law against anyone who makes threats of this nature."

Mienert, who retired as a sergeant after 22 years with the New York Police Department, remains in the Pinellas County Jail, according to records reviewed by Fox News Digital. He is set to appear in court Tuesday afternoon.

Fanatics Sportsbook Promo Code FOXNEWS350: Bet $20, Get $350 on Devils vs Oilers

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 15:23:43 -0400

Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl head to Newark on Tuesday night to take on a Devils team that suddenly has one of the best goalies in the world. It’s the marquee game on an 11-game NHL slate, and with the NBA off for Election Day, it has the spotlight to itself. Fanatics Sportsbook is offering new users promo code FOXNEWS350 to bet $20 and get $350 in FanCash on Devils vs. Oilers.

Hellebuyck vs. the best duo in hockey. Connor Hellebuyck has been as good as advertised in New Jersey, opening 2-0-0 with a 1.50 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage. He’s built his career on stealing games against elite offenses, and McDavid and Draisaitl are the toughest test he’ll get all month. If he holds them in check, the Devils are in great shape at home.

Edmonton’s goaltending gap. Tristan Jarry gives the Oilers a 4-1-2 record and two shutouts, but his .901 save percentage is a red flag against a Devils team that can push the pace. Edmonton can survive a shaky night from its goalie when its stars are rolling. It’s much harder when the other team’s goalie is standing on his head.

The special teams battle. McDavid and Draisaitl together on the top power play is the most dangerous unit in the league. New Jersey has to stay out of the box. If the Devils keep this game at five-on-five, they can lean on their structure and their goalie. If they hand Edmonton chances on the man advantage, the Oilers’ price at +135 starts to look like a bargain.

The last time these teams met, New Jersey won 2-1 in January. The books have priced the under at -125 for a reason. Hellebuyck’s numbers so far point to a low-scoring night, and the Devils’ best path to winning is keeping the game tight and grinding out a one- or two-goal result. Even if Edmonton’s stars break through once or twice, it would take a goaltending collapse on both ends to get to seven goals. Bet $20 on the Under and collect $350 in FanCash once it’s graded, no matter how it lands.

Oilers vs Devils Odds

Elite goaltending against the most dangerous one-two punch in the sport, with the hockey world watching. New users can bet $20 on Devils vs. Oilers and get $350 in FanCash with Fanatics Sportsbook promo code FOXNEWS350.

BetMGM Bonus Code FOXNEWS: Unlock $1500 in First Bet Cover for Tonight’s NHL Including Devils-Oilers

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 15:23:03 -0400

With the NBA off for Election Day, hockey has Tuesday night to itself. Eleven NHL games are on the schedule, and the best of them puts Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl against Connor Hellebuyck in Newark. BetMGM is offering new users bonus code FOXNEWS to unlock up to $1,500 in First Bet Cover. If your first wager loses, BetMGM refunds your stake in bonus bets.

The books have New Jersey as a home favorite, and the reason is in net. Hellebuyck is 2-0-0 with a 1.50 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage since joining the Devils. Edmonton’s Tristan Jarry has two shutouts and a 4-1-2 record, but his .901 save percentage leaves less room for error. New Jersey also won the last meeting 2-1 in January, and the under is priced at -125.

That’s the case for the Devils. The case for Edmonton is simpler: no team in the league has two forwards like McDavid and Draisaitl. They run the top power play together, they can split up to stretch a defense across two lines, and they can turn a quiet game in a matter of shifts. Hellebuyck can steal games, but he hasn’t faced this kind of firepower yet in a Devils sweater.

A protected first bet is the right tool for taking a plus-money underdog with this kind of upside. Bet $100 on Edmonton to win and you collect $235 if the Oilers get it done. If New Jersey holds on, BetMGM refunds your $100 in bonus bets. With the two best players on the ice wearing orange, getting them as an underdog is a number worth taking.

Odds are subject to change

The defending Stanley Cup champion Hurricanes visit Nashville at 8 p.m. ET, and Nikita Kucherov, last season’s Hart Trophy winner, leads Tampa Bay against Detroit at 7 p.m. ET.

FanDuel Promo Code: Get $200 When Betting $5 on the NHL, NBA and College Basketball Over 4 Days

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 15:21:52 -0400

The next four days are loaded. The NHL has an 11-game slate tonight, college basketball is in its first week, and the NBA heads into the second Friday of NBA Cup group play. FanDuel is giving new users $200 in bonus bets by betting $5 a day for four days, with no promo code required.

The NBA takes Election Day off, so hockey owns Tuesday night. The best game on the board is Edmonton at New Jersey at 7:30 p.m. ET. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl run into Connor Hellebuyck, who has been excellent since arriving in New Jersey at 2-0-0 with a 1.50 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage. Edmonton counters with Tristan Jarry, who has two shutouts but a .901 save percentage.

That goaltending gap is why the Devils are favored at home. Edmonton at plus money, with the best one-two punch in hockey, is the kind of number that gets underdog bettors interested. The Devils won the last meeting 2-1, and the under is juiced at -125.

Odds are subject to change

Elsewhere, the defending Stanley Cup champion Hurricanes visit Nashville, and Nikita Kucherov’s Lightning host Detroit.

College basketball tipped off Monday, and the first week is when the market knows the least. Rosters have been reshaped by the transfer portal, freshmen are playing their first real minutes, and lines are set more on projections than results. Your daily $5 bet doesn’t need to be on a marquee game. Some of the best value in November comes from teams the public hasn’t watched yet.

The NBA is back Wednesday, and Friday brings the second night of NBA Cup group play. Every one of these games counts toward the regular-season standings and the race for a knockout spot:

Philadelphia at Cleveland is the headliner, with LeBron James back in Cleveland for a reunion game in the toughest group in the East.

Hockey tonight, college hoops all week and the NBA Cup on Friday. Bet $5 a day for four days with FanDuel and collect $200 in bonus bets.

Betr Promo Code FOXNEWS: Get $200 in Bonuses and Four Free Picks for Tuesday’s NHL Slate

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 15:21:30 -0400

Tuesday’s NHL schedule runs 11 games deep, with eight puck drops at 7:00 p.m. ET and a marquee matchup in Newark at 7:30. That’s a lot of players to choose from on the pick’em board. Betr is offering new users promo code FOXNEWS to get $200 in bonuses and four free picks for tonight’s slate.

Four free picks, four places to start, one massive NHL slate.

Connor McDavid points (higher): Edmonton visits New Jersey at 7:30 p.m. ET, and McDavid is still the most reliable point producer in hockey. Even when the Oilers have a quiet night, the offense usually runs through him. He’s the anchor for any NHL entry tonight.

Connor Hellebuyck saves (higher): Hellebuyck has been excellent since arriving in New Jersey, going 2-0-0 with a 1.50 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage. Facing McDavid and Leon Draisaitl means facing a lot of rubber. If Edmonton controls play the way it usually does, Hellebuyck’s saves line is in play.

Leon Draisaitl points (higher): The Devils will likely put their top shutdown pieces on McDavid’s line, which can leave Draisaitl with easier matchups. He also runs the top power play alongside McDavid. Pairing the two is a simple way to bet on Edmonton’s top end breaking through.

Nikita Kucherov points (higher): Kucherov won his second Hart Trophy last season, and Tampa Bay hosts Detroit at 7 p.m. ET. Home games against a Red Wings team still building toward contention are exactly where Kucherov tends to pile up points.

New Jersey is favored at home largely because of the matchup in net. Edmonton’s Tristan Jarry is 4-1-2 with two shutouts, but his .901 save percentage trails Hellebuyck by a wide margin. The Devils won the last meeting 2-1 in January, and the under is priced at -125, so the books see another low-scoring game coming.

Odds are subject to change

The defending Stanley Cup champion Hurricanes visit Nashville at 8 p.m. ET, and Anaheim at Vancouver closes the night at 9 p.m. ET.

Eleven games and four free picks to spread across them. Sign up with Betr promo code FOXNEWS to get $200 in bonuses and four free picks for Tuesday’s NHL slate.

Underdog Promo Code FOXNEWS: Play $10, Get $50 on Tonight’s NHL Slate Including Devils-Oilers

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 15:21:17 -0400

Tuesday is one of the busiest nights of the NHL week, with 11 games on the schedule and a 7:30 p.m. ET headliner in Newark. Edmonton visits New Jersey, and the spotlight falls squarely on Leon Draisaitl. Underdog is offering new users promo code FOXNEWS to play $10 and get $50 in bonus entries on any game tonight.

This game comes down to the best offensive duo in hockey against one of the best goalies in the world. Hellebuyck has been excellent early in his Devils tenure, going 2-0-0 with a 1.50 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage. Edmonton counters with Tristan Jarry, who is 4-1-2 with two shutouts but just a .901 save percentage.

That gap in net is why New Jersey is favored at home. It’s also why the Oilers are interesting at plus money. Edmonton doesn’t need many chances to score, and few teams can match the speed and skill McDavid and Draisaitl bring to the top of the lineup. The Devils won the last meeting 2-1 in January, and the total sits at 6.5 with the under juiced at -125, so the books expect another tight one.

For pick’em, McDavid is the starting point. His point line is the safest way to get exposure to Edmonton’s offense, and even a quiet night for the Oilers usually runs through him. On the other side, Hellebuyck’s saves line is worth a look. If Edmonton controls the puck the way it usually does, he’ll be busy.

Odds are subject to change

The defending Stanley Cup champion Hurricanes visit Nashville at 8 p.m. ET, and Anaheim at Vancouver closes the night at 9 p.m. ET. Earlier, Nikita Kucherov and the Lightning host Detroit in one of eight games at 7 p.m. ET.

7:00 p.m. ET

7:30 p.m. ET

8:00 p.m. ET

9:00 p.m. ET

It's a loaded NHL slate on Tuesday night. McDavid and Draisaitl against Hellebuyck, plus 10 more games around it. Play $10 on Devils-Oilers or any game tonight with Underdog promo code FOXNEWS and get $50 in bonus entries.

Eleven NHL games are on the board Tuesday night, starting with a nine-game 7:00 p.m. ET window and running all the way to a late puck drop in Vancouver. Fanatics Sportsbook is offering new users promo code FOXNEWS350 to bet $20 and get $350 in FanCash on any game tonight.

The Carolina Hurricanes raised their second Stanley Cup banner on opening night, and Tuesday they visit Nashville in the lone 8:00 p.m. ET game. Every team gets up for the defending champions, and the Predators get the Canes in their own building. Pyotr Kochetkov is slated to get the start between the pipes for the 'Canes, and he is off to a record-setting pace. With Kochetkov in the crease, the Hurricanes have one ten straight as he has recorded a blistering 1.50 GAA to go along with two shutouts.

Tampa Bay hosts Detroit at 7:00 p.m. ET with Nikita Kucherov, who won his second Hart Trophy last season, leading the way. He’s still one of the most productive players in the sport, and the Lightning at home are always a tough out. There have been rumblings that Kucherov may want out of Tampa, which would be massive news in the NHL world. Ironically, Detroit is one of the list of teams that have reportedly already inquired about the Hart Trophy winner.

7:00 p.m. ET

Peter King's new book 'The Game' sparks debate over NFL's most significant figures across four decades

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 15:05:49 -0400

The list of premier NFL historians has for a long time included Peter King as a contributor, and his new book titled "The Game" is a journey that gives color to the growth of America's sport from the 1980s, when baseball and the NFL were still sports landscape peers to the current day in which football simply dominates.

King, the former Sports Illustrated writer and founding author of the Monday Morning Quarterback column, has delivered 40 chapters about King Sport.

"The Game" is a journey that details everything from the perfect NFL career authored by a Steelers' player not part of the early-day Super Bowl titles, to the rebirth of the New York Giants in the 1980s, to the painful last stand of Bill Walsh, to the sad end of Al Davis in 2007 – with much in between and beyond.

The book is a sprawling, colorful ride through four decades in forty chapters.

FOOTBALL LEGEND BILL BELICHICK ADDRESSES HALL OF FAME SNUB AND WHETHER IT WAS A 'POLITICAL' DECISION

Sitting down with the writer allowed me an opportunity to explain to King how wrong he was about his Mount Rushmore of Pro Football.

Fine, so I didn't actually tell a legendary scribe he's wrong about his stuff. But it's fair to say I probed him about the water cooler conversation segment of the book, which he patterned after Mount Rushmore.

Having known King for decades, I reminded him that Mount Rushmore has four presidents on its granite cliff and his Mount Rushmore boasts 100 people, then adds another 10 just because, then includes an honorable mention section.

"Armando," King retorts, without missing a beat, "as you know, I always wrote long."

Fair enough.

Time to prod.

King did not include either Bill Belichick or Don Shula among his top 20 names on his Mount Rushmore.

Belichick, who has more Super Bowl championships than any other coach in NFL history, is No. 24 on King's mountain.

"Well, my Mount Rushmore is about the people who have been most significant in making the NFL the monstrous game and product that it is today," King explains. "So, like I have Joe Carr, former NFL commissioner, as the 4th most significant guy in pro football history.

NFL COMMISSIONER ROGER GOODELL WILL NOT TESTIFY BEFORE CONGRESS AMID SCRUTINY OF PAST TESTIMONIES

"I think it's hard for somebody, unless you're absolutely like the best who's ever done it, for me to say that he's more important in football history than, say, Lamar Hunt, or Pete Rozelle, or John Madden or Vince Lombardi ... And those are guys I have, obviously, in the top 10.

"There are so many people, and I went through so many iterations of this, but I just tried to stick with the sort of the tried and true approach of people who were most responsible for this game being as gargantuan as it is."

Before this gets out of control, understand that King was a Pro Football Hall of Fame selector for decades and thought it was a mistake not to induct Belichick as a first-ballot candidate.

So he is not anti-Belichick, folks.

MANNY FERNANDEZ, CORNERSTONE OF DOLPHINS’ PERFECT 1972 SEASON, DEAD AT 79

Shula, the winningest coach of all time and the architect of the NFL's only undefeated Super Bowl champion, is outside King's top 25.

"I just don't think of Don Shula as a more important figure than the people I put above him," King said. "I think the reason is, and look, the undefeated season is obviously, that team is without peer in modern NFL history without any question. And that was an incredible accomplishment, especially because they beat some incredible teams in that season. They had a great year.

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!

"But I think the way I kind of look at it, other than the number of wins, which is paramount, when I look at Don Shula, I am left asking the question, 'What other contributions to the game did he have that should put him higher on this list? What are they?'

"And I am left not convinced that he made the kind of contributions that guys like Madden and Lombardi made. This is more than just your win total. It has to do with everything you contributed to the game."

King is a good sport allowing me to thrust and riposte with him a bit. Any book that can set off such an exchange over football is worth the time.

7 holiday shopping scams to watch for this season

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 14:30:31 -0400

Black Friday is still weeks away, but the holiday shopping season is already picking up. Stores are promoting early deals, our inboxes are filling with sales emails, and chances are you're already thinking about gifts for family and friends. Scammers are getting an early start, too.

Holiday shopping scams are designed to blend in with legitimate promotions and messages. A tempting discount could lead to a fake online store. A delivery alert might ask you to confirm your address or pay a small fee. And an email about a problem with your order could be an attempt to steal your payment information.

The tricky part is that these messages often arrive when you're already looking for deals or expecting packages. Before you click or enter your credit card information, here are seven holiday shopping scams to watch for and simple ways to protect yourself.

DO NOT CLICK FAKE 'ACCOUNT RECOVERY' AMAZON EMAIL

Our free CyberGuy LIVE class, 5 Ways to Travel Smarter and Save Money, has ended, but you can still watch the full replay. Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson walks you through five practical ways to protect your phone and personal information, avoid common travel scams, find better deals, save money on bookings and use technology to make your travels easier and less stressful. No technical experience is needed.

Watch the free replay, plus a downloadable checklist, now at CyberGuyLive.com.

During the holidays, it is normal to receive messages from unfamiliar stores. You may also be expecting several deliveries at once. Meanwhile, sales and shipping deadlines create pressure to act quickly. Scammers take advantage of those distractions. A fake message becomes more convincing when it matches something you are already expecting. That's why one of the best ways to avoid holiday shopping scams is to verify unexpected messages through a company's official website or app rather than responding directly.

You see a social media ad for a name-brand coat, popular gadget or designer handbag at 80% off. The photos look professional, and a countdown clock warns that the deal is about to expire. Big discounts happen during the holidays. However, unusually low prices on popular merchandise can signal a scam. Some fake stores collect your payment and send nothing. Others deliver cheap counterfeits or products that look nothing like the advertisement.

The Federal Trade Commission warns that scammers frequently use social media advertisements featuring popular products at unusually low prices.

Fake shopping websites can look remarkably convincing. Scammers copy brand logos, product photography and website layouts to make their stores appear legitimate. Sometimes, the biggest clue is hiding in the website address. A fake store might add words such as "outlet" or "sale" to a familiar brand name. Others use subtle misspellings or unfamiliar web addresses.

One important detail: A padlock icon or HTTPS connection does not guarantee that a shopping website is legitimate. It means the connection is encrypted. Scammers can use encrypted websites, too. When in doubt, type the retailer's official address into your browser or open its trusted app.

"Your package could not be delivered. Please confirm your address." Messages like this appear through text messages and emails, often claiming to come from the U.S. Postal Service, UPS or FedEx. Because you may have packages on the way, the message can seem believable. Scammers frequently direct you to a fake tracking page. There, they may ask you to enter your address, credit card number or other personal information. Some demand a small redelivery fee.

The Postal Service confirms that it does not charge a fee for redelivery. If a text claims you must pay USPS to receive your package again, treat it as a warning sign.

Another common scam involves an email claiming that your payment failed, your shopping account has been locked or a purchase needs immediate confirmation. Some messages go further. They claim someone made an expensive purchase using your account and provide a phone number to call if you want to cancel it. That number may connect you directly to a scammer. Once you call, the person may request your credit card information, ask for a one-time verification code or pressure you into installing remote-access software.

If you cannot verify the message through your account, contact the company's customer service department using contact information from its official website.

Gift cards make convenient holiday presents. Unfortunately, scammers also like them because the money can be difficult to recover once the card numbers and PINs are shared. A scammer may pretend to be a seller, employer or family member who urgently needs financial help. Some even claim to represent government agencies or utility companies.

A legitimate company might sell gift cards or accept its own gift cards for purchases. However, demands to buy gift cards and send someone the card numbers or PINs are strong signs of fraud.

The holidays are a popular time for charitable giving. Scammers know that emotional appeals can encourage people to donate quickly. Fake charities may use names that resemble familiar organizations. Others take advantage of natural disasters or heartbreaking stories to solicit donations. Some scammers impersonate legitimate charities and direct donations to fraudulent payment pages.

You can also consult the FTC's charity guidance before donating.

CHEAP ANDROID PHONES FOUND WITH MALWARE ALREADY INSTALLED

Online marketplaces and local resale groups can be useful places to find holiday bargains. However, they also attract scammers posing as legitimate sellers. A seller might advertise a popular item at an unusually low price, then demand payment before you can inspect it. Others try to move conversations away from the marketplace to avoid its protections. Fake payment confirmations and requests for additional shipping fees are other warning signs.

Remember that not every marketplace provides buyer protection. Check its policies rather than assuming it will refund a fraudulent purchase.

Avoiding holiday shopping scams starts with a few simple habits. These precautions can help protect your finances and personal information.

These habits help reduce your risk even when an advertisement or shopping website looks legitimate.

Even careful shoppers can encounter convincing scams. The important thing is to respond based on what actually happened.

Simply opening a webpage does not automatically mean your accounts have been compromised.

Acting quickly can improve your chances of limiting the damage.

Good habits are your first line of defense, but nobody spots every scam every time, especially during the busy holiday season. That's where reliable security software can provide an extra layer of protection. I recommend using strong antivirus software that helps detect suspicious websites, phishing attempts and malicious links before they put your personal information at risk.

Look for software that offers real-time protection against viruses, malware, spyware and ransomware. Some security solutions also include scam detection tools that can help identify fraudulent text messages, fake shopping websites and suspicious links. These features are particularly useful when scammers impersonate familiar retailers or delivery companies.

A built-in password manager is another valuable feature. It can generate and securely store strong, unique passwords for your shopping accounts. That helps reduce the risk of someone accessing multiple accounts if one password is compromised.

AI-powered scams are also becoming more convincing. Fake celebrity endorsements, manipulated videos and fraudulent holiday giveaways can make questionable offers appear legitimate. Some security products now include AI-powered scam detection and deepfake detection tools to help identify certain types of manipulated content. However, these capabilities vary by product, device and platform.

While security software cannot stop every scam, combining it with secure payment methods, account alerts and careful shopping habits can help protect your money and personal information throughout the holiday season.

SCAMMERS ARE BUYING GOOGLE ADS TO STEAL BANK LOGINS

I love finding a great holiday deal as much as anyone. But I've learned that the best way to avoid getting scammed is to be a little skeptical when something looks unusually attractive or demands an immediate response. Scammers are getting better at copying familiar stores and creating convincing messages. They're also using AI to make fraudulent offers look more believable. That's why I recommend checking purchases directly through retailers you trust and using security tools that can help flag suspicious activity. A few extra seconds of checking could save you a lot of trouble. The holidays should be about enjoying time with the people you care about, not cleaning up after a scam.

Have you ever received a fake delivery alert or spotted an online shopping deal that turned out to be a scam? What tipped you off? Let us know by writing to us at CyberGuy.com.

Americans urged to avoid dangerous border state despite US lifting shelter order

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 14:20:38 -0400

U.S. officials have lifted a shelter-in-place order for government employees in a Mexican border city, but Americans are still being urged not to travel to the area.

The order applied to U.S. government employees in Matamoros, a Mexican city across the border from Brownsville, Texas.

The U.S. Mission to Mexico said on Oct. 30 that the law enforcement activity that had prompted the order had subsided.

DEADLY SECURITY RISKS PROMPT UPDATED TRAVEL WARNINGS FOR 13 COUNTRIES

"The order for U.S. government employees to shelter in place has been lifted," officials said.

They noted that the Mexican border state of Tamaulipas, where Matamoros is located, remains under the State Department's highest-level travel advisory — Level 4 or "Do Not Travel" — due to terrorism, crime and kidnapping.

The shelter-in-place order came amid heightened security concerns following two arrests in Matamoros that prompted roadblocks across Tamaulipas, according to Mexican authorities.

In an Oct. 30 statement, Mexican officials identified one suspect as Axel Alfredo "N," the alleged second-in-command of the Gulf Cartel's Los Ciclones faction.

Mexican authorities linked him to homicides, kidnappings, extortion, fuel theft and cross-border trafficking, as well as a May 2026 attack on federal security officers that left one dead and several injured.

"To uphold the rule of law and protect residents in the area, the Ministry of National Defense deployed 450 personnel and two helicopters to Matamoros and surrounding municipalities," the translated statement said.

"The deployment is part of efforts to strengthen the operational presence of security forces, expand surveillance activities and improve authorities' response capabilities."

After lifting the order, U.S. officials urged Americans in Matamoros to monitor local media and to "be aware of your surroundings."

Americans were also urged to notify friends and family of their safety.

The warning follows a similar security alert issued in August.

At that time, U.S. officials temporarily suspended government activities and travel to Mexicali, another Mexican border city over 1,000 miles northwest of Matamoros.

The alert came after officials received information about a possible armed attack on law enforcement facilities by Los Rusos, a criminal group.

Mariners hire 36-year-old Jason Kanzler as new manager after disappointing season

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 14:20:05 -0400

The Seattle Mariners have achieved their first big goal of the offseason: hiring a manager.

The team announced on Tuesday that they hired Jason Kanzler, who spent the last three seasons as the Chicago Cubs' director of player development, as their new manager. Kanzler, 36, is the 22nd manager in team history.

"I am thrilled to join the Mariners organization, and I’m looking forward to hitting the ground running," Kanzler said in a statement. "This team has an immense amount of talent in all facets of the game, and my coaching staff and I are excited to access and unlock this team’s full potential."

Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto said the organization was looking for a manager who would challenge everyone to improve, and Kanzler fit the bill. The Mariners reached the ALCS in 2025 but regressed mightily last season, going 76-86. Kanzler will look to help the team return to its 2025 form.

"Jason has the mindset, expertise, communication skills and intensity to help create a championship standard here in Seattle," Dipoto said in a statement.

Prior to joining the Cubs in 2024, Kanzler served as a coach for the Houston Astros at the major league level in 2022 and 2023. In 2022, when the Astros won the World Series, he served as a major league coach before becoming the assistant hitting coach in 2023.

Before joining the major leagues with Houston in 2022, Kanzler spent three years in the organization's farm system, serving in various roles throughout the minor leagues.

Prior to becoming a coach, he spent three seasons (2013-15) as an outfielder in the Minnesota Twins organization. Kanzler played for Class A Cedar Rapids and High-A Fort Myers and had a .249 batting average with a .720 OPS.

Chris Cuomo says talking about politics makes it difficult for him to avoid violence

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 14:13:56 -0400

Chris Cuomo has no interest in running for office like his father and brother. In fact, he says talking about politics on television has made it difficult enough to control his violent urges.

"Man, I run from office. I’m telling you, I would never, ever, ever, ever consider running for office," Cuomo told pollster Frank Luntz on his podcast. "But in fact, I’ll tell you what I’m considering: getting the f— out [of talking about politics]."

BOBBY BURACK: THE ANTI-WHITE RESISTANCE IS ALREADY BEGINNING FOR COOPER FLAGG

Cuomo referenced boxer Mike Tyson and said his job makes him want to start punching people in the face.

"Mike Tyson has turned out to be a prophet, which is already a perversity. But when Mike Tyson said, ‘Social media has made people forget that some things that you say will get you punched in the face.’

"And my desire to punch people in the face has gotten, it’s consuming me, Frank. I can’t handle this. I can’t handle the stupidity. I can’t handle what wins. I can’t handle what gets paid. I can’t handle what succeeds. I can’t handle it."

We understand that Cuomo was probably joking. But if anyone were to abandon a successful media career because of an uncontrollable urge to get violent, he would rank near the top of our list.

For background, Cuomo now hosts a cable news show on NewsNation.

The younger Cuomo brother has a long history of losing his temper.

In 2019, he threatened to throw a man down the stairs at a Shelter Island bar after the man called him "Fredo," a reference to the weak link in the Corleone crime family from "The Godfather."

A year later, video showed Cuomo screaming at a bicyclist who questioned why he was outside in the Hamptons while recovering from COVID-19. Cuomo later called the man a "jacka–" and "loser" on his radio show.

Cuomo also frequently posts videos of himself working out. Sometimes, he lifts dumbbells while typing on his computer.

Just saying.

Look, we do not want to downplay Cuomo’s urges and then see someone get punched in the face on set or in the political arena.

That’s all.

Tiger Woods to redesign famed Long Island golf club that was rocked by prostitution scandal

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 14:03:52 -0400

Tiger Woods and his design firm are set to break ground on a new project, reviving a golf club that's been closed since 2021.

The 15-time major winner announced that he and his team will be redesigning the Tam O’Shanter Country Club on Long Island, roughly 10 miles away from where he won the 2002 U.S. Open.

The club was rocked by a scandal in the early 2010s when it was reported that members of the club took prostitutes and strippers to the club for golf outings. The property was sold in 2019 for a potential housing development project, but plans fell through after an arsenic discovery, and the club closed two years later.

But Woods is planning on bringing the once-famed course back to life.

"The opportunity to create a new golf experience in the heart of Long Island’s Gold Coast, a region steeped in rich history, is tremendously exciting for our team," Woods said in a statement. "I have great memories of competing on Long Island, especially at Bethpage. This region has an extraordinary golf course architecture tradition, and we look forward to contributing to that legacy with a course that players can enjoy for generations."

"Bringing Tiger Woods and TGR Design to this beautiful and historic part of Long Island is a remarkable opportunity," Brookville Mayor Dan Serota said in a statement. "Combining the Gold Coast’s longstanding golf tradition with Tiger and his team’s skill and attention to detail makes this an exciting project for Brookville and the broader region."

JON RAHM OPEN TO ACCEPTING BROOKS KOEPKA-LIKE PENALTIES IN ORDER TO RETURN TO PGA TOUR AFTER LIV GOLF EXIT

Woods' TGR Design is partnering with The Armchair Collective, a private golf company that bought the land in September.

The project will include new practice facilities, a new clubhouse and a golf performance center.

"Long Island is home to some of the most celebrated golf courses in the country, and we're looking forward to contributing to the region's rich golf history," Woods said in an Instagram post.

Woods' return to the golf course remains to be determined - he has not played since the 2024 Open Championship. When he was arrested in March, he said he was "hoping to" play in April's Masters, but he ultimately missed the entire 2026 season.

NYC marathon runner, 24, dies just 2 miles from finish line after sending dad chilling texts

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 13:59:47 -0400

New York City marathon runner Rachel Apa died on Sunday after collapsing at mile 24.

Apa, 24, set out to run the world-famous race on Nov. 1 for the first time, along with more than 60,000 other runners.

The former Bucknell University Division I field hockey player had reportedly trained for the marathon for months. The New York Times reported details from the runner's parents, Michelle and Steve Apa, on Monday.

HEALTHY ATHLETE HAD NO SYMPTOMS BEFORE MANDATORY HEART SCREENING REVEALED HIDDEN DEFECT

Michelle Apa said she watched her daughter run by at mile 14 in Long Island City, Queens. She took a video of Apa looking strong, smiling and giving out high-fives before taking off again.

The runner's mother then headed toward the finish line, planning to wait for her daughter at mile 25 in Central Park.

Steve Apa was back home in Lewisberry, Pennsylvania, sending his daughter supportive texts at every mile as he tracked her in the New York Road Runners app.

Rachel Apa reportedly texted her father back at mile 18, saying, "Ow." And once again at mile 19, "Ow ow."

MYSTERIOUS DISEASE SENDING YOUNG, HEALTHY TEXAS WORKERS INTO KIDNEY FAILURE

At mile 23, Steve Apa texted, "Final stretch." Rachel Apa never responded again, according to The New York Times.

Spectator Michaela Nicholas reportedly witnessed Apa pass by in her matching green shorts and tank top near mile 24 in Central Park. She cheered Apa on with only two miles to go. Seconds later, at around 1:30 p.m., Apa collapsed.

Nicholas, who is a hospital social worker, ran over to help and declared that Apa did not have a pulse. After Nicholas’ fiancée called for a doctor, two people who claimed to be physicians hopped in, taking turns administering CPR. Nicholas said she held Apa’s hand the whole time.

The New York Road Runners, the marathon organizers, told the Times that marathon medical staff arrived soon after and used a defibrillator to try to revive Apa. Paramedics then arrived with an ambulance.

After realizing Apa was not moving in the tracking app, Michelle Apa reportedly headed to her daughter's location. When she arrived, the ambulance transporting her daughter was pulling away.

Michelle Apa was taken to Mount Sinai Medical Center, where doctors worked to save Rachel Apa’s life for more than six hours. She was declared dead at around 9:40 p.m., according to the report.

Steve Apa told The New York Times that his daughter's cause of death was rhabdomyolysis, a rare muscle condition that occurs after injury, severe dehydration and overheating, or, most typically, excessive, high-intensity exercise without rest.

"It’s unfathomable," he said. "Perfect health, perfect shape, 24 years old."

The condition, also known as rhabdo, causes the muscles to break down when over-exerted, which leads to muscle death, according to Cleveland Clinic.

When this disintegration occurs, toxic components of the muscle fibers can enter the circulatory system and kidneys, which can cause kidney damage, essentially acting as poison to the body.

Common signs of rhabdo include weak muscles, muscle stiffness and swelling, muscle pain and a change in urine shade, closer to a brown, red or tea color. It can also lead to nausea, dehydration and loss of consciousness.

Symptoms can range from mild to severe, typically developing one to three days after the muscle injury.

The condition is life-threatening, as physicians encourage listening to your body and seeking medical attention immediately.

"If you feel especially sore or tired during a workout, stop and rest," Cleveland Clinic recommends. "Don’t push yourself beyond safe limits."

"[Stay] hydrated and avoid getting overheated. Take breaks in the shade if you’re doing physical activity in the heat."

The New York Road Runners told the Times that the last marathon death occurred during a medical incident in 2024.

In a statement responding to Apa’s death, the organization said, "We are deeply saddened by the death of one of our runners following yesterday’s race. Our thoughts and sincere sympathies are with the runner’s family, friends and the entire running community."

Fox News Digital reached out to the New York Road Runners and Apa's family for comment.

Rachel Apa was working as a product manager for an electrical component company while working on receiving her MBA at Charleston Southern University, according to the report.

She was running to raise money to fight Parkinson’s disease, in honor of her late grandfather.

On the Parkinson’s Champions fundraising website, Apa wrote what her grandfather meant to her.

"My grandfather was my role model growing up," she said. "He taught me to stay active, push my limits and embrace challenges, shaping my love for sports and movement."

"Later in life, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, and I watched as the disease slowly took away the freedom to move that he once loved so much. He passed away in 2022, but the lessons he taught me continue to drive me forward."

She added, "I'm proud to run with Parkinson's Foundation Champions to raise funds and awareness for research, better care and a cure."

Rachel Apa raised more than $22,000 and counting for the cause.
