Burke launched the online movement in May 2020 to support food service workers after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and she has continued her efforts since then.</p><p>"Honestly, I’m just so grateful Lexy included me in something so generous that she has cultivated," Hayes told Southern Living magazine.</p><p>He continued, "As far as giving back is concerned, it is wild to be on this side of the gift. We’ve had people give us cars when we were hurting financially, so we know what it’s like to need a little help." </p><p><a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/walker-hayes-fancy-like-fame-hints-applebee-nashville" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>WALKER HAYES OF ‘FANCY LIKE’ FAME HINTS AT OPENING APPLEBEE'S IN NASHVILLE</u></strong></a></p><p>In a joint video posted by Hayes and Burke on Instagram Thursday, the two were seen meeting up outside a Nashville Waffle House.

It's called the Waffle Hayes," he said. "It's basically a waffle but with two eggs over-easy and bacon and cheese in it and folded like a taco."</p><p>"We have customers come in and get that," the waitress told him.</p><p>"If they get that, that's what I want," Hayes said.</p><p>After finishing their meal, Burke told the waitress and two other workers about her serial tipping movement.</p><p>"I do this thing like every holiday season on my social media where I just ask people to send in some spare change," she said.

Thank you so much."</p><p>At the end of the video, the employees addressed Burke's followers, calling out "Thank you!"</p><p>Before skyrocketing to fame with the success of his 2021 viral hit "Fancy Like," Hayes struggled for over a decade as an aspiring singer-songwriter and worked at a Costco in Nashville. During a July 2023 interview with Fox News Digital, Hayes detailed his battle with alcoholism. </p><p><a href="https://radio.foxnews.com/2022/04/11/country-musician-walker-hayes-a-story-of-grace/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The father of six</a> shared that he was able to embrace sobriety and his faith with the help of his friend Craig Cooper, a pastor who helped him and his family when they needed it most.</p><p>While speaking with Southern Living, Hayes said, "I really never dreamed we would have much to offer anyone."</p><p>"So grateful, especially in this season, to help anyone, however we can," he added.</p>58a4ea85-ac10-5e36-8d96-f8c421e651e3fncFox Newsfox-news/entertainment/genres/countryfox-news/entertainmentfox-news/entertainment/musicfox-news/us/us-regions/southeast/tennesseefox-news/us/nashvillefox-news/lifestyle/food/restaurantsfox-news/entertainmentarticleSat, 14 Dec 2024 20:56:13 -0500

https://www.foxnews.com/us/biden-administration-officials-downplay-concerns-drone-sightings-slight-overreactionBiden administration officials downplay concerns about drone sightings: 'Slight overreaction'Senior national security and intelligence officials told reporters Saturday that no threats have been identified with the unusual drones spotted in New Jersey.<p>U.S. national security officials sought to dispel concerns about the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/nj-lawmaker-calls-limited-state-emergency-combat-mysterious-drones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mysterious drones</a> flying over the Northeast in a recent call with reporters, one going as far as describing nationwide uneasiness as "a slight overreaction."</p><p>The call, attended by Fox News Digital Saturday, was hosted by senior Biden administration officials, including representatives from the FBI, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the National Security Council (NSC), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Defense (DOD).</p><p>The senior officials remained tight-lipped about the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/drones-new-jersey-military-experiment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">origins of the drones,</a> which are still being investigated. The mysterious aircraft were first spotted flying above northern New Jersey in mid-November and have been repeatedly <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/former-navy-pilot-says-he-rules-out-commercial-contractors-doubts-fed-involvement-nj-drone-sightings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">seen by thousands of residents</a> over the past few weeks.</p><p>During the call with reporters, an FBI official said his agency has received 5,000 tips since the first mysterious drone was seen flying above the Garden State in November. Of those 5,000 tips, fewer than 100 warranted further investigation, the official said.</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/more-20-days-phenomenon-public-no-answers-about-origins-mysterious-nj-drones" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>MORE THAN 20 DAYS INTO PHENOMENON, PENTAGON STILL HAS NO ANSWERS ABOUT ORIGINS OF MYSTERIOUS NJ DRONES</u></strong></a></p><p>The FBI official added that investigators have found no evidence of large-scale unmanned drone activity despite the recent uptick in drone activity in recent weeks.</p><p>"We're doing our best to find the origin of that specific … those drone activities," the official said. "But I think there has been a slight overreaction."</p><p>Echoing comments from the FBI representative, a DHS official noted that, while his agency is not dismissing all tips about the drones as non-credible, "the amount of actual drone activity is likely less than what's being reported."</p><p>A DOD official added that the agency has gathered "no intelligence or observations that would indicate that [the drones] were aligned with a foreign actor or that they had malicious intent."</p><p>"But, you know, just to simply tell you, we don't know," the representative said. "We have not been able to locate or identify the operators or the points of origin."</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/drones-mystery-new-jersey-homeowners-threaten-take-matters-own-hands-govt-doesnt-act" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>DRONE MYSTERY: NEW JERSEY HOMEOWNERS THREATEN TO TAKE MATTERS INTO THEIR OWN HANDS IF GOVERNMENT DOESN'T ACT</u></strong></a></p><p>The Pentagon official added that there are limitations in terms of investigating the drones' sources.</p><p>"We're also significantly restricted, and rightfully so, in fact, prohibited from intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance here in the homeland," the spokesperson noted. "So, we don't have the same capabilities and the same methods that we would employ in other locations outside of the homeland to determine points of origin."</p><p>"Here, on the military side, we are just as frustrated with, you know, with the irresponsible nature of this activity," the official conceded.</p><p>An NSC official echoed the DOD representative's sentiment, arguing there is no evidence foreign adversaries are involved with the drones, and there is no proof of any threat to public safety.</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/download" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP</u></strong></a></p><p>"Obviously, we are taking this incredibly seriously at this point," the NSC official said. "We have not identified any basis for believing that …. there's any criminal activity involved, that there's any national security threat, that there's any particular public safety threat or that there's a malicious foreign actor involved in these drones."</p><p><i>Fox News' Daniel Scully contributed to this report.</i></p>8e1f42b3-d695-5dcb-965d-a68ad05d4c10fncFox Newsfox-news/usfox-news/us/us-regions/northeast/new-jerseyfox-news/tech/technologies/dronesfox-news/tech/topics/fbifox-news/politics/executive/homeland-securityfox-news/odd-newsfox-news/politics/defensefox-news/usarticleSat, 14 Dec 2024 19:42:46 -0500

He had to get stitches and is recovering. The police were called, and the matter is now in law enforcement’s hands," the statement read.</p><p>According to a news release obtained by Fox News Digital, officers from the Beverly Hills Police Department responded to a reported <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/crime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">assault with a deadly weapon</a> at Mr. Chow on Friday.</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/jamie-foxx-suffered-brain-bleed-led-stroke-didnt-remember-20-days-during-weekslong-coma" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>JAMIE FOXX SUFFERED ‘BRAIN BLEED THAT LED TO A STROKE,’ DIDN'T ‘REMEMBER 20 DAYS’ DURING WEEKS-LONG HOSPITALIZATION</strong></a></p><p>Following their arrival at 10:06 p.m., the BHPD officers investigated the incident and the report of assault with a deadly weapon was determined to be "unfounded."</p><p>However, the press release stated that the "incident involved a physical altercation between parties." Following a preliminary investigation, the authorities documented the battery in a report and no arrests were made. BHPD's investigation into the incident is still ongoing.</p><p>Fox News Digital has reached out to Mr. Chow for comment.</p><p>After hosting the Jamie Foxx Strong Black Legends Dinner at Mr. Chow on Wednesday, Foxx was filmed and photographed as he left the restaurant. In a video posted on X, he was seen speaking with the paparazzi and signing autographs.</p><p>While he was walking to a SUV, Foxx was asked how he felt about celebrating his birthday after his near-death experience during a medical emergency last year.</p><p>"It’s beautiful because I didn’t know if I would be here to celebrate it," the Academy Award winner said.</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS</u></strong></a></p><p>Foxx was also asked about his Netflix comedy special, "Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was." In the special released on Tuesday, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/jamie-foxx-addresses-rumors-diddy-was-trying-kill-him" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the comedian</a> shared new details about his 2023 health crisis.</p><p>"What a blessed time to be on stage," he said. "It’s amazing, man, to have gone through something so crazy, but to get back on, make some chuckles and let other people know what’s up, was amazing."</p><p>The "Blame It" singer said legendary comedians George Carlin and Richard Pryor inspired him to speak about the ordeal in the special.</p><p>In April 2023, Foxx was hospitalized in a coma for weeks after suffering from a mystery illness. During his Netflix special, Foxx emotionally broke down in tears several times throughout the special as he explained to fans what led to his coma.</p><p>"I was fighting for my life," Foxx . "April 11, I was having a bad headache and I asked my boy for an aspirin… before I could get the aspirin… I went out. I don’t remember 20 days."</p><p>Foxx revealed that doctors told his family he had a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/health/brain-bleed-sent-jamie-foxx-stroke-what-know-about-dangerous-condition" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"brain bleed</a> that's led to a stroke" at the time of his hospitalization.</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/newsletters?cmpid=fnfirstnl" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER</u></strong></a></p><p>"If I don't go in his head right now, we're going to lose him," the doctor at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia declared. </p><p>After Foxx's surgery, his doctor said to his sister Deidra Dixon, "We didn’t find where it was coming from, but he is<i> </i>having a stroke. He may be able to make a full recovery, but it’s going to be the worst year of his life."</p><p>Foxx continued, "I was so dizzy from the stroke… 20 days I don’t remember. On May 4, I woke up. When I woke up, I found myself in a wheelchair. I couldn’t walk."</p><p>"The "Django Unchained" actor thought his stroke was a "prank" at the time. He refused to see a therapist during his recovery until one healthcare worker demanded Foxx to snap out of it, since he was convinced, "Jamie Foxx don't get strokes."</p><p>"Listen, you gotta knock this s--t off, this whole Jamie Foxx s--t, stop this arrogant bulls--t, that stroke doesn’t give a f--- about who you are," the therapist told him.</p><p>Foxx said that moment gave him a reality check as he snapped out of it and worked hard toward his recovery.</p><p>During the special, Foxx repeatedly expressed his gratitude to his fans for their prayers and support.</p><p>"I appreciate every well-wish, Atlanta. To the world, I can’t thank you enough."</p>147bedaa-79da-5927-bcab-a57a01a0521cfncFox Newsfox-news/person/jamie-foxxfox-news/entertainmentfox-news/entertainment/moviesfox-news/entertainment/genres/comedyfox-news/entertainment/tvfox-news/entertainment/musicfox-news/entertainmentarticleSat, 14 Dec 2024 19:40:06 -0500

https://www.foxnews.com/sports/navy-pulls-off-upset-over-army-trump-star-studded-group-attendanceNavy pulls off upset over Army with Trump, star-studded group in attendanceThe Navy Midshipmen are back in the win column against the Army Black Knights after pulling off an upset in front of President-elect Trump, Elon Musk and others.<p>History repeated itself in the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/sports/ncaa-fb" target="_blank" rel="noopener">annual Army-Navy clash</a>.</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/sports/ncaa/navy-midshipmen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Midshipmen</a> are now 63-55-7 all time against the Black Knights with their 31-13 victory Saturday in Landover, Md.</p><p>Navy got out to a 14-0 lead, scoring a touchdown on its first drive, then turning an interception into seven more points. Army cut its deficit in half before going into the locker room. A field goal to begin the second half made it a four-point game.</p><p>Navy, though, delivered a big blow with a 52-yard touchdown catch and run by running back Eli Heidenreich to regain a 21-10 lead late in the third. After <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/sports/ncaa/army-black-knights" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Black Knights</a> settled for a field goal, they forced a Navy punt — or so they thought.</p><p>The Midshipmen, on fourth and 5 from their own side of the field, ran a fake punt, and nose tackle Landon Robinson ran 29 yards for a first down to keep the drive alive. Four plays later, Blake Horvath rushed in for the score, and it was a 28-13 lead for Navy.</p><p>Hoping for a miracle, Army quarterback Bryson Daily threw a wild pass on the run that was intercepted, and the Midshipmen iced the game with a field goal to go up three possessions with just under four minutes to go. After another pick and a first down, Navy ran out the clock. </p><p>With the victory, Navy earned the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy, having also beaten Air Force earlier this year.</p><p>The teams participated in the "Honoring the Fallen" tradition by singing each other's alma mater.</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/army-navy-game-college-football-its-purest-form-amid-nil-era-sponsors-ceo-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>ARMY-NAVY GAME IS 'COLLEGE FOOTBALL AT ITS PUREST FORM' AMID NIL ERA, SPONSOR'S CEO SAYS</strong></a></p><p>President-elect Trump took in the game from a luxury suite, marking his first appearance at the contest since 2020. He was at the game five straight years, beginning in 2016, roughly a month after winning that year’s election. Trump was <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/donald-trump-arrives-army-navy-game-usa-chants-salutes-during-national-anthem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joined by a star-studded cast</a> that included JD Vance, Elon Musk, Daniel Penny, Mike Johnson, Tulsi Gabbard and Pete Hegseth.</p><p>Army had won six of the previous eight meetings. The Midshipmen are 9-3 on the season, while Army fell to 11-2. </p><p>Both teams now focus on their respective bowl games.

The total, though, was hovering around the 39.5 mark, so over bettors are celebrating.</p><p>Horvath finished with 204 yards on 25 carries, two of them resulting in scores, while throwing another pair of touchdowns despite just nine passing attempts.</p><p>Next year's edition, the 126th, will be played in Baltimore before heading to East Rutherford, New Jersey, in 2026.</p><p><i><strong>Follow Fox News Digital’s </strong></i><a href="https://twitter.com/FoxNewsSports_" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><i><strong>sports coverage on X</strong></i></a><i><strong>, and subscribe to </strong></i><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/newsletters" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><i><strong>the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter</strong></i></a><i><strong>.</strong></i></p>11b519e6-acf4-596e-b929-f1273b2c4388fncFox Newsfox-news/sports/ncaa/navy-midshipmenfox-news/sports/ncaa/army-black-knightsfox-news/sports/ncaafox-news/sports/ncaa-fbfox-news/sportsfox-news/sportsarticleSat, 14 Dec 2024 19:05:30 -0500

Tim Walz expressed frustration in a recent interview that middle-class voters chose billionaire Donald Trump over him and Vice President Kamala Harris.<p>Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz marveled in a post-election interview that middle-class Americans struggling with economic issues chose billionaire Donald Trump over him and Vice President Kamala Harris, a team he billed as a more middle-class ticket by comparison.</p><p>Walz, Harris' running mate, sat down for an <a href="https://www.mprnews.org/story/2024/12/13/tim-walz-reflects-on-democrats-shortcomings-return-to-minnesota-as-political-ground-shifts" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">interview with Minnesota Public Radio</a> on Thursday where he weighed in on what he thought went wrong during the Democratic presidential campaign. He concluded there must have been a disconnect with the Harris campaign’s messaging to middle-class voters if they went on to vote for a rich candidate like Trump.</p><p>"I thought it was a real flex when the Wall Street Journal pointed out that I might have been the least wealthy person to ever run for vice president," Walz told MPR News.</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/harris-aides-admit-she-never-surpassed-trump-internal-polls-suggest-campaign-doomed" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>HARRIS NEVER LED TRUMP, INTERNAL POLLS SHOWED — BUT DNC OFFICIALS WERE KEPT IN THE DARK</u></strong></a></p><p>"How in the world did we lose to a billionaire or a venture capitalist, when we were making the case of a country attorney and a high school teacher?" he asked later in the interview, contrasting his ticket with Trump’s.</p><p>Walz made the point that he thought his more humble economic status should have appealed to voters, and seemed puzzled that wasn’t the case.</p><p>"And I thought that would be something people say, ‘Well, this guy knows where we’re coming from. He’s had to pay his bills and still does,'" he said, referring to himself.</p><p>Earlier in the discussion, Walz stated, "And this is the one that keeps me up at night, is I focused my whole career in focusing on the middle class… And it seemed like a lot of good ideas were coming from the Democrats."</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/kamala-harris-bungled-answer-the-view-about-biden-seen-turning-point-campaign" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>KAMALA HARRIS' BUNGLED ANSWER ON ‘THE VIEW’ ABOUT BIDEN SEEN AS TURNING POINT FOR CAMPAIGN</u></strong></a></p><p>"I still believe that," he continued, "but apparently in this election, not the majority of Americans did. They chose to vote with <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/donald-trump-inspired-my-story-about-billionaire-who-saves-christmas-most-need" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a billionaire</a>, who’s talked about not paying overtime, who has a long history of not paying his workers, someone who wants to take away the ACA."</p><p>Seeing this, Walz concluded that this happened because his party did not communicate their middle-class appeal well enough.</p><p>"So, I come back to the conclusion, is we did not do a good enough job – we as a Democratic Party and we as a ticket – did not do a good enough job of showing them that we understand where they’re coming from," the governor said.</p><p>He added, "And I feel like one of my roles is – going forward here is – figuring out a way to make the case to the public, the American public, is that the Democratic Party really is focused on the things they care about."</p><p><a href="http://foxnews.com/media" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE</u></strong></a></p><p>In an interview with local <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/tim-walz-admits-he-surprised-election-defeat-thought-country-ready" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Minnesota outlet KSTP-TV</a> last week, the governor admitted he was surprised that his ticket lost the 2024 election.</p><p>"It felt like at the rallies, at the things I was going to, the shops I was going in, that the momentum was going our way, and it obviously wasn’t at the end," Walz said. "So yeah, I was a little surprised.

Chris Smith, R-N.J., questioned why the Biden administration has not solved the drone mystery in the Northeast. Multiple videos show drones flying in New Jersey.<p>Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., called out the Biden administration during a press conference Saturday about the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/former-governor-spots-mystery-drones-maryland-blasts-feds-lack-transparency" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recent drone sightings</a> that have stumped U.S. officials.</p><p>The unidentified drone sightings, which have been observed flying above U.S. military installations and New Jersey homes since mid-November, have caused concern in <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/authorities-continue-investigating-unusual-drone-activity-trumps-golf-club-new-jersey-video" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Garden State.</a> </p><p>The aircraft have also been <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/sen-blumenthal-says-mysterious-drones-spotted-recently-shot-down-necessary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spotted in Connecticut.</a> On Thursday, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., called for the drones to be "shot down" if necessary. </p><p>On Saturday, U.S. officials held a phone conference with reporters and appeared to downplay concerns about the drones, saying there was no evidence linking the aircraft to foreign adversaries.</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/more-20-days-phenomenon-public-no-answers-about-origins-mysterious-nj-drones" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>MORE THAN 20 DAYS INTO PHENOMENON, PENTAGON STILL HAS NO ANSWERS ABOUT ORIGINS OF MYSTERIOUS NJ DRONES</u></strong></a></p><p>Speaking from Seaside Heights, New Jersey, Smith said he asked DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas why the drones' origins are still unknown.</p><p>"I asked Secretary Mayorkas at a briefing, a Zoom briefing, why we can't follow them, find out where they're going," the Republican told reporters. "They're coming from somewhere. … You can't seem to do that.</p><p>"Why can't we follow them and find what their origin is?

"Bring them down and find out who's doing it."</p><p>The New Jersey politician also expressed the belief the drones may be tied to at least one foreign government.</p><p>"The elusive maneuvering of these drones, I would suggest, suggests a major military power sophistication," the Republican said.

Trump's suite also hosted Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, House Speaker Mike Johnson, Vivek Ramaswamy and Trump's FBI director pick Kash Patel.</p><p>Photos of Penny posing alongside Trump and Vance in the suite went viral during the game. </p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM</u></strong></a></p><p>Multiple social media users responded with waves of praise for Penny, hailing the Marine veteran as a hero. </p><p>Cryptocurrency influencer Tiffany Fong shared the photo, praising Penny as a hero in a post on X.</p><p>"Donald Trump [and] JD Vance know that Daniel Penny is a hero," Fong wrote. Fong shared another photo, where she called all three of the men, "heroes."</p><p>Conservative X influencer and podcast host Nick Sortor called for Penny to be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in the post, and dozens of others agreed with him in X responses. </p><p>"Daniel Penny received a HERO’S WELCOME from President Trump and JD Vance at the Army Navy game Much deserved!" Sortor wrote. "I truly hope Trump will give Penny the Presidential Medal of Freedom."</p><p>Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., shared the photo with a caption that said, "Common sense reigns again!"</p><p>Ramaswamy and his son Arjun took their own photo with Penny and took pride in having contributed to Penny's legal fund. </p><p>"Our family contributed to this man’s legal defense fund last year because he was wronged. We don’t regret it. Hope Daniel Penny has a bright future & good life ahead," Ramaswamy wrote. </p><p>Author Ashley St. Clair shared the photo with a caption that suggested Penny was on trial for being a White male. Penny's chokehold of Neely, who was Black, ignited a national conversation about race.</p><p>"The days of vitriol and persecution against white men simply for being white men are over," St. Clair wrote.</p><p>During Penny's trial, prosecutors routinely referred to the Marine veteran as "the White man."</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/army-navy-game-college-football-its-purest-form-amid-nil-era-sponsors-ceo-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>ARMY-NAVY GAME IS 'COLLEGE FOOTBALL AT ITS PUREST FORM' AMID NIL ERA, SPONSOR'S CEO SAYS</u></strong></a></p><p>Penny was charged with manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide for the subway chokehold death of Neely, a 30-year-old homeless man with schizophrenia who barged onto the train shouting death threats May 1, 2023. </p><p>Witnesses testified Neely's threats scared them more than a typical subway outburst would, and they were thankful for Penny's intervention.</p><p>Neely had a lengthy <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/crime" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>criminal record</u></a>, an active arrest warrant, a history of psychosis and was high on K2, a synthetic form of marijuana that pathologists described as a stimulant. </p><p>When jurors declared they had found Penny not guilty of criminally negligent homicide Dec. 9, his side of the courtroom in New York City erupted with cheers. At the same time, the verdict prompted an angry response from Neely's side, including his father, Andre Zachary, who was escorted out of the courthouse along with several Black Lives Matter leaders.</p><p>Penny thanked the jurors for their verdict in an interview with Fox News Wednesday. </p><p>"I'd like to give them a hug. I'd like to thank them. Yeah, definitely. It takes a lot of courage, especially in this climate in New York City, to stick up for me," he told "The Five" co-host Judge Jeanine Pirro in a preview Wednesday during an exclusive interview airing on Fox Nation.</p><p>The Marine veteran said if he faced the same situation on the subway with someone making threats and acting erratically, he would take action again. </p><p>"I would not be able to live with myself if I didn't do anything in that situation and someone got hurt," he said. "I would feel guilty for the rest of my life."</p><p>Vance was one of the first politicians to express support for Penny in the aftermath of the verdict and said he extended the initial invitation to Penny for the suite Saturday. </p><p>"Daniel’s a good guy, and New York’s mob district attorney tried to ruin his life for having a backbone," Vance wrote on X Friday. "I’m grateful he accepted my invitation and hope he’s able to have fun and appreciate how much his fellow citizens admire his courage."</p><p>Penny still faces a lawsuit from Zachery, who accuses the 26-year-old of causing his son’s death through "negligence, carelessness and recklessness." Zachery is seeking unspecified damages for assault and battery, according to a copy of the complaint.</p><p><i><strong>Follow Fox News Digital’s</strong></i><a href="https://twitter.com/FoxNewsSports_" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><i><strong><u> sports coverage on X</u></strong></i></a><i><strong>, and subscribe to</strong></i><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/newsletters" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><i><strong><u> the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter</u></strong></i></a><i><strong>.</strong></i><br> </p>d7e574c4-f904-543a-8daa-ff6af0452e00fncFox Newsfox-news/sports/ncaa-fbfox-news/sports/ncaa/army-black-knightsfox-news/sports/ncaa/navy-midshipmenfox-news/sportsfox-news/person/donald-trumpfox-news/sportsarticleSat, 14 Dec 2024 18:32:23 -0500

Chris Christie, Saturday by seizing on the mysterious New Jersey drone controversy on his social media.<p>President-elect Trump on Saturday seized on the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/tech/technologies/drones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mysterious drone controversy</a> in New Jersey to mock one-time ally turned nemesis Chris Christie. </p><p>The president-elect, who <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/politics/elections/presidential/trump-transition" target="_blank" rel="noopener">will take office</a> in just over a month, shared an AI-generated meme of the former New Jersey governor eating McDonald’s with more McDonald’s meals being delivered by drones, mocking his weight on Truth Social and X. </p><p>Christie endorsed Trump in 2016 but was later axed as the head of his transition team. </p><p>Last year, Christie had a short-lived presidential campaign for the 2024 election during which he called Trump a "coward" and a "puppet of Putin," but he dropped out in January.</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-brings-political-drama-army-navy-game-sidelines" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>TRUMP BRINGS POLITICAL DRAMA TO ARMY-NAVY GAME SIDELINES</strong></a></p><p>"I want to promise you this, I’m going to make sure that in no way do I enable Donald Trump to ever be president of the United States again. And that’s more important than my own personal ambition," he said when he dropped out. </p><p>Christie’s weight has been a frequent <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/chris-christie-punches-back-trump-being-insulted-him-compliment-me" target="_blank" rel="noopener">target for Trump</a> since their falling-out. Last year, Trump jokingly told a supporter to not call the former governor a "fat pig." </p><p>Since mid-November, New Jersey residents have been baffled by unexplained sightings of what appear to be drones. </p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/nj-lawmaker-calls-limited-state-emergency-combat-mysterious-drones" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NEW JERSEY LAWMAKER CALLS FOR LIMITED STATE OF EMERGENCY TO COMBAT MYSTERIOUS DRONES</strong></a></p><p>The sightings have also been reported in other areas of the country, including military installations, prompting lawmakers to demand answers. </p><p>New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and law enforcement have said the drones don’t appear to be a threat to public safety. </p><p>On Friday, Trump called for the drones to be shot down if there’s no reasonable explanation for them. </p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/download" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP</strong></a></p><p>"Mystery Drone sightings all over the Country.

https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/nicole-kidman-admits-she-sounds-crazy-done-shed-weight-characterNicole Kidman admits she sounds ‘bats--- crazy’ for what she’s done to shed the weight of a characterDuring a conversation with Variety’s "Actors on Actors," Nicole Kidman and Zendaya discuss the physical and emotional toll certain roles can take.<p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/nicole-kidman" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>Nicole Kidman</u></a> has always been willing to do whatever it takes to prepare herself for an upcoming role. </p><p>During an interview for Variety’s "Actors on Actors" issue, Kidman and Zendaya discuss the physical and emotional toll certain roles can take and steps they take to shed the weight of character.</p><p>"It’s really taxing going through all of those emotions. Your [body] doesn’t … know that it's fake," the "Euphoria" actress, 28, explained to Kidman, who stars in the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/nicole-kidman-57-says-its-empowering-seen-sexual-being-erotic-thriller" target="_blank" rel="noopener">upcoming erotic thriller "Babygirl."</a></p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/nicole-kidman-says-erotic-thriller-babygirl-liberating-left-her-feeling-very-exposed" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>NICOLE KIDMAN SAYS EROTIC THRILLER 'BABYGIRL' WAS 'LIBERATING' BUT LEFT HER FEELING 'VERY EXPOSED'</u></strong></a></p><p>"No. So you’re <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47-qd6OG1CA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">putting yourself through the trauma</a>," said Kidman. "On ‘Babygirl' there were parts that are now not in the film that we shot that gave me — it was exhausting. But it was also just emotionally disturbing. The same when I was doing ‘Big Little Lies.’ That was disturbing to my body and my psyche because I couldn’t tell what was real and what wasn’t. I would have real bruises all over my back and body."</p><p>"I still have my Rue scars," said Zendaya, whose films "Challengers" and "Dune: Part Two" released earlier this year, referring to her "Euphoria" character. </p><p>"My brain would say, ‘Hold on. You’re hurt.’ So, I’ve done things where they clean my chakras and pray and get out the sage," Kidman added. "Honestly, I’ll take whatever, so I can step into the next place free and not scarred or damaged or wounded. Which sounds like I’m bats--- crazy, but I’m not. </p><p>"Even just a massage, where suddenly you get a beautiful touch. That’s healing, and we have to heal. I’m still learning not to sacrifice my body for the sake of the art because part of me wants to. Having to value who I am, it’s a journey. But you seem very stable."</p><p>In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Kidman opened up about her new <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/nicole-kidman-erotic-thriller-latest-hollywood-movie-banking-sexy-middle-aged-moms-romancing-younger-men" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>"raw and dangerous" role</u></a> in the film and explained why it's empowering to be viewed as a "sexual being" at 57. </p><p>"A lot of times women are discarded at a certain period of their career as a sexual being. So, it was really beautiful to be seen in this way," the Australian native told the outlet of her portrayal of powerful CEO and mom Romy, who partakes in a hot affair with her younger intern, Samuel (Harris Dickinson). </p><p>"From the minute I read it, I was like, ‘Yeah, this is a voice I haven’t seen, this is a place that I haven’t been, I don’t think audiences have been.’ My character has reached a stage where she’s got all this power, but she’s not sure who she is, what she wants, what she desires, even though she seems to have it all. And I think that’s really relatable.</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS</u></strong></a></p><p>"There are many women who are going, ‘Well, I’ve done this. I’ve got children. I’ve got this husband. And what do I actually want? Who am I, and what are my desires? Do I have to pretend to be something else for people to love me?’ I think it’s very releasing, this film," Kidman continued. "I hope it is. I’ve had some people say it’s the most disturbing film they’ve ever seen, which I’m like, ‘Oh no, I’m so sorry.’</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/newsletters" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER</u></strong></a></p><p>"When I read it, I was like, ‘I’ve not read a film like this.’ I thought it was incredibly sexy," she later added. "Really, just so raw and dangerous, and I couldn’t believe they were giving us the money to make it. The sexuality of it [felt dangerous]. That it wasn’t written for a 20-year-old. It wasn’t written even for a 30-year-old."</p><p>Kidman has had a busy year with six 2024 projects, including starring in Netflix's "The Perfect Couple," the Paramount+ series "Lioness" and more. </p><p>"I incorporate my family into [my work]. And because I have a musician husband [Keith Urban], he’s got that slightly nomadic thing as well," she added. "So, he’s not someone that goes, 'No, I have to stay here. I can’t move.' My girls, I’ve always said, ‘You are of the world, you’re global children.’ That’s what we do as a family. We travel and we experience things. And that’s a great education, too."</p><p>"Babygirl" opens in theaters Dec. 25.</p>ca0c2e7f-c62a-597c-a0b7-02484287923cfncFox Newsfox-news/entertainmentfox-news/entertainment/moviesfox-news/person/nicole-kidmanfox-news/entertainmentarticleSat, 14 Dec 2024 17:17:41 -0500

Ryan Graves said he dismissed the involvement of commercial contractors in <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/more-20-days-phenomenon-public-no-answers-about-origins-mysterious-nj-drones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">drone sightings</a> reported around New Jersey in recent days. </p><p>"Based on my analysis of the situation and the statements made by the Pentagon and the legislative branch, I cannot believe that this is our own government acting in such confusion. God help us if so," Graves told Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum Thursday on "<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Story</a>."</p><p>"It's the same for commercial contractors," he continued. "There's zero benefit, all risk for operating these things so close to the ground, especially if it's some type of classified equipment."</p><p>Graves concluded his analysis leads the mystery to "foreign adversaries or something else."</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-agency-concerning-mysterious-drones-new-jersey" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>FBI LEADER SAYS IT'S ‘CONCERNING’ HOW LITTLE HIS AGENCY KNOWS ABOUT MYSTERIOUS DRONES SEEN OVER NEW JERSEY</u></strong></a></p><p>"We've heard directly from the Pentagon that there is no so-called ‘mothership’ off the coast of Virginia and New Jersey that is launching these items," Graves said. </p><p>"We have some of the most sophisticated radar systems on the Eastern seaboard. We should, with great certainty, know exactly where these objects are, where they're going and where they're setting down if they are. So, either these things have the ability to counter those technologies, or we're simply lying about what's happening."</p><p>Over the past week, leaders from both parties in New Jersey have addressed public concern over reports of drone sightings and frustration over the lack of clear answers.</p><p>On Monday, New Jersey <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/nj-gov-says-feds-have-authority-shoot-down-drones-wouldnt-opposed-them-playing-more-robust-role" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gov. Phil Murphy</a> described the drones as "very sophisticated" and expressed his frustration with the lack of clarity surrounding their origin.</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dozens-drones-trailed-us-coast-guard-vessel-new-jersey-us-lawmaker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J.,</a> shared on "The Story" that he spent Monday night on a beach and spoke with a U.S. Coast Guard commanding officer who recounted an incident from the previous night in which a Coast Guard 47-foot vessel was closely followed by more than a dozen drones.</p><p>By Wednesday, Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., sent a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, FBI Director Christopher Wray and FAA Administrator Michael Whitaker that urged the agencies to provide municipal and county officials with a briefing on the drone activity and requested that any available information be shared with the public.</p><p>Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., said on "<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/shows/the-faulkner-focus" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>The Faulkner Focus</u></a>" Wednesday "very qualified" and "reliable" sources suspect the drones seen over the Garden State could be connected to an Iranian "mothership" positioned off the East Coast — a claim that was subsequently denied by the Pentagon.</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/nj-lawmaker-calls-limited-state-emergency-dod-immediately-probe-mystery-drone-sightings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">State Sen. Jon Bramnick, R-N.J.,</a> called on the Department of Defense to come to the state to investigate the mysterious drone activity Wednesday afternoon. </p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/us-military-research-center-denies-nj-drones-theirs" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>US MILITARY RESEARCH CENTER DENIES NJ DRONES ARE THEIRS</u></strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/new-jersey-drones-house-speaker-johnson-says-hes-getting-classified-briefing-today" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House Speaker Mike Johnson</a> disclosed he was getting a classified briefing Thursday on the reported drone sightings in the Garden State. </p><p>Graves told McCallum he is urging the "full force" of the government and Pentagon to be deployed to determine the nature of these objects — identifying, characterizing and, if necessary, selecting a primary target to bring down for further examination.</p><p>"It seems like the different branches of the government aren't communicating very well on this problem," Graves said. "And for me, it leads me to believe that there is a true uncertainty about what's going on here. I find it hard to believe that the Biden administration can continue this policy of cognitive dissonance on this topic. Hundreds of people are seeing these events." </p><p>Graves added that the reported drone sightings are "not restricted to just people on the ground."</p><p>"My nonprofit, Americans for Safe Aerospace, has been receiving reports from commercial pilots, military pilots and veterans for over a year now, showing how consistent and how problematic this issue is at altitude where they're flying around," Graves said. "We need to have a better coordinated response and actually listen to the people on the ground and in the air that are seeing things." </p><p><i>Fox News Digital's Taylor Penley and Greg Wehner contributed to this report. </i></p>05274536-613e-58c2-80ad-54d4c31baab8fncFox Newsfox-news/mediafox-news/topic/fox-news-flashfox-news/shows/the-storyfox-news/tech/technologies/dronesfox-news/politics/defense/pentagonfox-news/mediaarticleSat, 14 Dec 2024 17:00:49 -0500

Guthrie's daughter, Halie Torrrell, was holding his hand when he took his last breath. Fernandez suffered a stroke about a month ago that caused him to slow down but Guthrie said doctors attributed his condition to age.</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/this-day-history-dec-7-1941-pearl-harbor-attack-kills-2403-americans-launches-us-world-war-ii" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, DECEMBER 7, 1941, PEARL HARBOR ATTACK KILLS 2,403 AMERICANS, LAUNCHES US INTO WWII</strong></a></p><p>"It was his time," Guthrie said.</p><p>Fernandez was a 17-year-old sailor on board the USS Curtiss during the Dec. 7, 1941, attack that propelled the U.S. into <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/topic/world-war-two" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World War II</a>. A mess cook, he was waiting tables and bringing sailors morning coffee and food when they heard an alarm sound. Through a porthole, Fernandez saw a plane fly by with the red ball insignia known to be painted on Japanese aircraft.</p><p>He rushed down three decks to a magazine room where he and other sailors waited for someone to unlock a door storing shells so they could pass them to the ship’s guns. He has told interviewers over the years that some of his fellow sailors were praying and crying as they heard gunfire above.</p><p>"I felt kind of scared because I didn’t know what the hell was going on," Fernandez told The Associated Press in an interview weeks before his death.</p><p>Fernandez’s ship, the Curtiss, lost 21 men and nearly 60 of its sailors were injured. The bombing killed more than 2,300 U.S. servicemen. Nearly half, or 1,177, were sailors and Marines on board the USS Arizona, which sank during the battle.</p><p>"We lost a lot of good people, you know. They didn’t do nothing," Fernandez said. "But we never know what’s going to happen in a war."</p><p>Fernandez had been planning to return to Pearl Harbor last week to attend an annual commemoration <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-brings-political-drama-army-navy-game-sidelines" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hosted by the Navy</a> and the National Park Service but became too weak to make the trip, Guthrie said.</p><p>He was "so proud" of his six years in the Navy, all of it aboard the USS Curtiss, Guthrie said. Most of his casual clothes, like hats and shirts, were related to his service.</p><p>"It was just completely ingrained in him," his nephew said.</p><p>Fernandez worked as a forklift driver at a cannery in San Leandro, California, after the war. His wife of 65 years, Mary Fernandez, died in 2014.</p><p>He enjoyed music and dancing, and until recently attended weekly music performances at a local park and a restaurant. He helped neighbors in his trailer park take care of their yards until he moved in with Guthrie last year.</p><p>"I’d do yard work and split firewood and he’d swing the axe a little bit," Guthrie said. "We’d call it his physical therapy."</p><p>Fernandez's advice for living a long life included stopping eating once you're full and marching up stairs. He said it was OK to take a nap, but do something like laundry or wash dishes before going to bed. He recommended being kind to everyone.</p><p>Guthrie said he thinks Fernandez would want to be remembered for bringing people joy.</p><p>"He would rake people’s yards if they couldn’t do it. He would paint a fence. He would help somebody," Guthrie said. "He would give people money if they needed something. He was so generous and such a kind person. He made friends everywhere."</p><p>Fernandez is survived by his oldest son, Robert J. Fernandez, a granddaughter and several great-grandchildren.</p><p>There are 16 known survivors of Pearl Harbor that are still alive, according to a list maintained by Kathleen Farley, the California state chair of the Sons and Daughters of Pearl Harbor Survivors. All of them are at least 100 years old.</p><p>Fernandez's death would have brought the number to 15, but Farley recently learned of an additional survivor.</p>ea63a2b2-8de6-54f2-a074-dcf122ac4b0bfncFox Newsfox-news/us/us-regions/west/californiafox-news/topic/associated-pressfox-news/entertainment/events/obituaryfox-news/us/military/honors/pearl-harborfox-news/topic/world-war-twofox-news/usarticleSat, 14 Dec 2024 16:57:21 -0500

Otherwise, shoot them down!!!" he wrote Friday on Truth Social.</p><p>Couldn’t agree more, except please don’t get your shotgun out of the closet and start rooting around for a box of shells. It’s illegal to interfere with any aircraft in flight, manned or unmanned. Maybe its deer season where you live, but alas, it is <i>never </i>drone season. Right now, statutes limit even the military’s ability to intercept drones in the U.S.</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/nj-lawmaker-calls-limited-state-emergency-combat-mysterious-drones" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NJ LAWMAKER CALLS FOR LIMITED STATE OF EMERGENCY TO COMBAT MYSTERIOUS DRONES</strong></a></p><p>America’s got a drone problem. Some are actually airplanes. Some drones are legal and no threat to you and me. Some are flown by drug cartels dropping off fentanyl in San Diego. Gen. Greg Guillot, Commander, U.S. Northern Command, told the Senate more than 1,000 drones per month cross the southern border. Other drones belong to the police, or to the military. Don’t forget the NYPD has <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/abc7ny.com/post/nypd-gets-green-light-faa-launch-drones-remotely-central-park-brooklyn-bronx/15543342/__;!!PxibshUo2Yr_Ta5B!1cEgYlxIwNdsxIXSHiKNT5ED_5YLFmzIiWLWLYbOvmU9VOq1-vHJyYr7VyALjy3YL6STxNkKYgorDr798lREPZdL7iGw%24">110 drone operators</a> qualified by the FAA. I also expect some of the drone sightings connect to military experiments and operations.</p><p>But without question, the U.S. is vulnerable to a national security threat from drones in a way we’ve never experienced before. While many U.S. military installations have anti-drone systems, the rest of the country doesn’t. A new plan for countering drones in U.S. airspace should be top priority for President-elect Trump’s incoming Cabinet: Homeland Security, Defense, and Transportation, with the FAA. Find a conference table at Mar-a-Lago and get key Cabinet nominees <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/kristi-noem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kristi Noem</a>, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/tide-turns-favor-trump-dod-pick-pete-hegseth-after-matt-gaetz-failure" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pete Hegseth</a> and <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-nominates-former-wisconsin-rep-sean-duffy-secretary-transportation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sean Duffy</a> started now. </p><p>What worries me is the pattern emerging of sightings of multiple drones, operating at low altitude, with persistent and coordinated overwatch, near military bases and critical infrastructure. Of course, New Jersey has a lot of cool stuff: the aircraft carrier electromagnetic catapult test infrastructure, Picatinny Arsenal, Naval Weapons Site Earle, which stores and loads munitions for the Navy’s Atlantic fleet. </p><p>While the New Jersey sightings date from Nov. 20, drone incidents started years ago. Back in 2017, an Air Force F-22 Raptor stealth fighter encountered a drone over the runway while landing at Langley AFB in Virginia. Yeah, I can see why the Chinese might want a close-up view of the engine intakes and stealth panel seals on that. In California, drones regularly drop inside the fences at the sprawling factories in Palmdale that build top secret military planes like the B-21 stealth bomber. It’s a stew of attempted surveillance – whether by military aircraft aficionados or the Chinese or somebody else. </p><p>"Some of it, I’m pretty sure, is our adversaries. Why wouldn’t they?" Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., commented to <i>Breaking Defense</i> at the Reagan National Defense Forum Dec. 7.</p><p>Here are my four biggest concerns. </p><p><strong>The White House can’t be trusted.</strong> It doesn’t feel like this last-gasp Biden White House is working the problem. Ever since the Chinese spy balloon traipsed from Montana to South Carolina in 2023, Americans have realized that our skies are not always safe. </p><p>We are a low-trust society. The lack of transparency is almost worse than the drones.</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/opinion" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION</u></strong></a></p><p><strong>America’s skies are not defended against internal threats.</strong> At the heart of the drone mystery is a very disturbing problem: We do not defend the interior airspace of our vast nation. That was apparent on 9/11, when it took 175 Air Force fighter jets launched all over the nation with their air refueling tankers to patch together linked interior radar coverage and communications. Many improvements have been made, but the 2023 spy balloon intercept took effort, and the drone challenge is a whole new chapter.</p><p><strong>No one is in charge.</strong> This is a job for NORTHCOM but "at this time, NORTHCOM does not have a formal role in defending against UAS," Guillot said in March. He’s "making proposals to see if there is an increased role in the UAS fight." Mind you, NORTHCOM is busy with defending against China and Russia in the High North and upgrading West Coast missile defense. The Pentagon signed off on a counter-UAS strategy on Dec. 2 and the defense bill for Fiscal Year 2025 helps, but a lot of that is focused on overseas operations. </p><p><strong>Putin may be involved.</strong> On Friday, German officials confirmed drone operations around the U.S. airbase at Ramstein. In Britain, drones were sighted over Royal Air Force bases, where the U.S. stations F-35s and keeps nuclear weapons storage sites. Villagers at Beck Row, Suffolk, had the same shocked reaction as New Jersey. "They were really noisy and had lights. They looked official to be honest," villager Casseem Campbell told the BBC on Nov. 29. "You get more information off Facebook than you do the base," griped another resident. Both German and British officials suspect the drones may be part of an ongoing Russian espionage and disruption campaign to weaken NATO support for Ukraine. </p><p>I don’t want any of Putin’s drones here. Time for the Trump team to figure this out.</p><p>Fortunately, the U.S. is awash in counter-drone systems. The Coyote is a counter-drone rocket launched from a tube on a truck or helicopter. The DroneHunter throws a net over drones weighing several hundred pounds, and has been tried out in Ukraine. U.S. Army AH-64 Apache helicopters shot down drones with Hellfire missiles during an exercise in Saudi Arabia this fall. Another great method is electronic disruption of the drone’s flight controls and guidance. The list goes on, but none of it can work without coordinated surveillance and revamped command and control authorities. </p><p>America’s drone problem comes down to this: leadership. Big decisions need to be made within the first few months of Trump’s new term. For as citizens in New Jersey will agree, we are out of time.</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/person/g/dr-rebecca-grant" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM REBECCA GRANT</u></strong></a> </p>ee91bbac-a372-54ba-b198-006d2ff06108fncFox Newsfox-news/opinionfox-news/tech/topics/military-techfox-news/world/world-regions/chinafox-news/politics/executive/white-housefox-news/opinionarticleSat, 14 Dec 2024 16:20:08 -0500

https://www.foxnews.com/media/aoc-other-progressives-condemn-violence-suggest-justification-killing-unitedhealthcare-ceoAOC, other progressives condemn violence but suggest justification for killing of UnitedHealthcare CEOLiberal media pundits and Democratic politicians have hedged at times in their condemnations of the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.<p>Several high-profile progressive figures have hedged on the murder of UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson after he was shot and killed in <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/new-york-city" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York City</a>, saying violence is wrong but conditioning their remarks with statements about the woes of the U.S. health care system.</p><p>Luigi Mangione was arrested Monday after a manhunt and charged with Thompson's murder, which was committed outside a hotel in Manhattan last week. Mangione has become a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/culture-life-unitedhealthcare-ceos-murder-mocked-celebrated-far-left" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>folk hero to some far-left</u></a> figures who feel Thompson's death is a deserved backlash against health insurance giants like UnitedHealthcare that deny coverage or charge high premiums.</p><p>Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., condemned the murder this week but said that Thompson's death should also serve as a "warning." </p><p>"Violence is never the answer, but people can be pushed only so far," she told HuffPost. "This is a warning that if you push people hard enough, they lose faith in the ability of their government to make change, lose faith in the ability of the people who are providing the health care to make change, and start to take matters into their own hands in ways that will ultimately be a threat to everyone."</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/elizabeth-warren-says-killing-unitedhealthcare-ceo-warning-you-can-only-push-people-so-far" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>ELIZABETH WARREN SAYS KILLING OF UNITEDHEALTHCARE CEO WAS A WARNING: 'YOU CAN ONLY PUSH PEOPLE SO FAR'</u></strong></a></p><p>Warren made similar comments to MSNBC host Joy Reid about Thompson's murder. </p><p>"People are very angry about health care, I think for good reason, denying care, and the whole system … killing a CEO is not the way you change," Reid said. "You have to regulate them." </p><p>"We'll say it over and over," Warren said. "Violence is never the answer. This guy gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth[care], but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."</p><p>Warren later walked back her comments to <a href="https://foxnews.com/media" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News Digital</a>.</p><p>"Violence is never the answer. Period," she said. "I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder."</p><p>Journalist Piers Morgan also clashed with left-wing journalist Taylor Lorenz over her apparent sympathy for Mangione during an episode of "Piers Morgan Uncensored" that aired Monday evening. During the program, Lorenz admitted she felt "joy" over Thompson’s death.</p><p>When a shocked Morgan confronted Lorenz for her comments, saying Thompson is a "husband and father," Lorenz replied, "So are the tens of thousands of Americans that he murdered! So are the tens of thousands of Americans, innocent Americans, who died because greedy health insurance executives like this one push a policy of denying care to the most vulnerable people."</p><p>She later said she never felt "joy over that man's death" but rather because more people are paying attention to the systemic problems in American healthcare.</p><p>"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin read out comments last week mocking Thompson's death on social media, saying that the celebration from some of the American public is "reflective about how people are feeling about their health care." At one point she said, "Isn't that something?"</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/former-wapo-reporter-says-we-want-executives-dead-after-murder-health-insurance-ceo" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>FORMER WAPO REPORTER SAYS ‘WE WANT THESE EXECUTIVES DEAD’ AFTER THE MURDER OF INSURANCE CEO</u></strong></a></p><p>"Our country is one of the only countries that doesn’t have universal health care, and we don’t take care of our elderly and people are feeling the pinch," Hostin said. "We talk about that all the time and I think people are really angry at the health care system and, unfortunately, it’s translating to this father."</p><p>Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has also spoken out following the murder of Thompson, saying violence wasn't "justified" but people view health insurance denials as their own act of aggression.</p><p>"This is not to say that an act of violence is justified, but I think for anyone who is confused or shocked or appalled, they need to understand that people interpret and feel and experience denied claims as an act of violence against them,"<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14188647/Alexandria-Ocasio-Cortez-remarks-Unitedhealthcare-CEO-Brian-Thompson.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> she said this week</a>. </p><p><i>Fox News' David Rutz and Gabriel Hays contributed to this report. </i></p>44bbc77c-736d-5f02-86bb-e098af6745ecfncFox Newsfox-news/mediafox-news/us/new-york-cityfox-news/us/crimefox-news/mediaarticleSat, 14 Dec 2024 16:00:45 -0500
