NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! New York Gov. Kathy Hochul declined to directly apologize to the families of people killed by illegal immigrants after Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman confronted her over the issue during Tuesday night’s gubernatorial debate, instead turning the exchange toward Americans killed by federal immigration agents.Looking directly at Hochul as he brought up several victims, Blakeman asked what she had to say to families who will “never get to sit at another Thanksgiving dinner, never be able to open their presents on their Christmas tree.””Will you apologize to them, and will you please return Sheridan Gorman’s parents’ calls to talk to you about your sanctuary policy?” he said.NEW YORK GOVERNOR DEBATE HEATS UP AS BLAKEMAN, HOCHUL SPAR OVER TRUMP, SANCTUARY STATUS, ICE SHOOTING Jose Medina-Medina, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, faces charges related to the fatal shooting of Sheridan Gorman, an 18-year-old Loyola University Chicago student from Yorktown, New York, as she walked with friends near her campus late at night. Her death has fueled calls for change from her parents, who have taken aim at sanctuary policies that limit cooperation between local law enforcement and ICE.Hochul responded by calling all crimes “heartbreaking,” adding,…

If you’re a service member, family member or overseas U.S. citizen and plan to vote by absentee ballot in the Nov. 3 election, it’s time to get serious, if you haven’t already.All of the information about your state’s requirements and deadlines for voter registration, ballot requests and ballot returns is available at the Federal Voting Assistance Program site, FVAP.gov, and at the U.S. Vote Foundation site.Deadlines vary by location, but as of mid-October, individuals could still register to vote in some states. For the best results, use the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA), which allows you to register to vote, as well as request a ballot. Some states allow you to email or fax the FPCA. Federal Voting Assistance Program officials are advising those who have requested a ballot from their state election officials and haven’t received it to fill out a Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot, or FWAB, and send it in. States are required to accept these ballots if they meet requirements. The Federal Voting Assistance Program, a Defense Department program, is the organization that is tasked with implementing the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, or UOCAVA. This law applies to service members and their families living…

The October Buck of the Month pays homage to horror movie history: it’s the latest variant of the legendary, enduring, and Ghostface-approved Buck 120. For those of you not in the know (and we would refer you to our goth sister-site HorrorNews), the Buck 120 not only enjoys a sterling reputation in the real world as a premier hunting/outdoors fixed blade, but also has won fame in Tinseltown as the preferred, um, EDC, of Ghostface, the murderous villain of the Scream franchise. In fact, if you take an amble into your local Spirit Halloween, you’re sure to find not only a Ghostface costume, but at least one shoddily-made simulacrum of the 120 itself – albeit rendered in plastic and with only approximate dimensions. The sheath is made from distressed black leather The real deal, which we’re looking at here, is an entirely different, outdoors chore-focused beast. The unforgettable straight clip blade is made, on this particular model, is made from CPM-CruWear, a steel with its own storied history of high performance in unforgiving roles. If CruWear has a weakness, it’s the fact that it is a semi-stainless steel, with lower corrosion resistance than officially-designated stainless recipes. However, that should be…

During these troubling times when Americans feel more divided than ever before, it’s nice to see this nation come together from time to time.Today is one of those days. America has united for Dale Earnhardt and the memories we have of an American who stood for everything this country used to stand for. Dale was the best of us. He was the common man. He was the man working on a car in a garage behind a mobile home. He was corporate America. He was the guy who just wanted to take his fishing boat out a few times per year to relax. That is why when the Greensboro Police Department tweeted Wednesday that “‘Raise hell, Praise Dale,’ is not an appropriate response when we ask you why you were speeding,” America was left no choice but to go on the offensive.DALE EARNHARDT ONCE BROKE HIS HAND PUNCHING A MAN WHO KILLED A DEER ON HIS NORTH CAROLINA FARMLike Dale bodying that punk rainbow warrior Jeff Gordon into the wall, the best people in this nation declared (virtual) war on the GPD.Even Dale Jr. went on the offensive for his dad’s memory.ZERO BS.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A French newspaper claimed Tuesday that climate change is accelerating child marriages in developing countries, including among girls as young as 12, citing research suggesting that natural disasters are pushing impoverished families to marry off their daughters at increasingly younger ages.Le Parisien’s report, headlined “She was only 12: Climate change, a new accelerator of child marriage,” directly linked weather-related disasters to early marriages in Bangladesh, Kenya and other countries.”In Bangladesh, Kenya and elsewhere, climate disasters are worsening child marriages,” the newspaper said in a passage translated from French. “By destroying incomes and homes, they push some families to marry off their daughters at increasingly younger ages.” ALASKA STATE FAIR BARS PARENTAL RIGHTS GROUP DUE TO ‘EXTREMIST’ GROUP DESIGNATION BY FAR-LEFT ORGANIZATIONThe article drew criticism from Moms for Liberty CEO and co-founder Tina Descovich, who told Fox News Digital that attributing child marriage to climate change shifts responsibility away from those exploiting children.”Blaming climate change for the abhorrent practice of marrying off girls as young as 12 sounds absolutely wild… but it’s just the latest absurd excuse for disgusting behavior, shifting responsibility onto the environment instead of the people and ideologies that choose…

A month after President Donald Trump intervened to scale back joint military exercises with South Korea, citing a desire not to upset his “very good relationship” with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, the commander of Army forces on the peninsula said he’d like to go bigger – both in exercise frequency and geographic scope.Speaking at the Association of the United States Army’s annual meeting here Monday, Gen. Xavier Brunson, commander of United Nations Command, Combined Forces Command, and United States Forces Korea, said lessons from Ukraine prompted interest in changing the shape and structure of exercises there.“I think what we recognize is that largely the two big exercises every year in Korea focus on large command posts; we’ve got to move away from that,” Brunson said, in response to a question from a Korean journalist. “So, what we intend to do is take advantage of the knowledge that we have of the threats that exist or that prevail in the Ukraine fight,” he continued. “We’re trying to say how might we train differently, and so [Gen. Kim Sung-min, deputy commander of the Republic of Korea–U.S. Combined Forces Command] and I talk about how we would operate in a distributed…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! When Adam Carolla asked actor and comedian Jeff Garlin on his podcast last week whether there was “anything going on in Hollywood anymore,” the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star admitted that acting roles had virtually dried up for him.”I haven’t worked in almost three years since ‘Curb’ ended,” Garlin said, prefacing his remarks with uncertainty about whether he should reveal his circumstances. “…The reason that you and I do this no longer exists. It doesn’t.””We could be doing this thing in Sweden,” he added.HOLLYWOOD JOBS FLEE OVERSEAS AS CONGRESS SCRAMBLES TO STOP PRODUCTION EXODUS — WITH TRUMP’S BLESSING With that comment, Garlin was referring to the growing number of productions that have left not only California but the country altogether.

Protesters derailed a Washington, D.C., panel featuring U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday, calling him a “war criminal” and a “Nazi.”Six people interrupted the speakers at various points during the beginning of the roughly hour-long panel, which was part of the Association of the U.S. Army’s annual meeting. They shouted condemnations of the U.S. war with Iran and referenced the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. “You’re not a warrior, you’re a coward,” one person yelled, adding, “Children in Gaza are starving!” Another shouted, “You’re killing my family.”The final protester yelled, “The world f—— hates you.” “You’re a f—— war criminal. You’re a Nazi. We’ll see you at the goddamn Hague. You should be ashamed of yourself,” as security pushed him outside of the packed ballroom.A protestor is removed by security personnel at the Association of the United States Army 2026 Annual Meeting and Exposition in Washington, Oct. 14, 2026.
