NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is facing questions about his appearance at an Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) convention after the organization removed a Pakistani cleric from its lineup following scrutiny of his past remarks about Hitler, Jews and jihad.Mufti Tariq Masood had been scheduled to speak at ISNA’s annual convention last week in Detroit alongside El-Sayed. The Washington Free Beacon first reported that ISNA had quietly pulled Masood from its list of speakers last month. This came after his past comments, including remarks appearing to praise Hitler’s persecution of the Jews and defending child marriage, sparked backlash against ISNA.Dr. Andrew Bostom, who reviewed one of Masood’s sermons, told Fox News Digital that the cleric “basically said that the Quran had foreshadowed Hitler 1,400 years ago.”FATWAS, HOLY WARS AND SOCIALISM: INSIDE THE ISLAMIC CONFERENCE WHERE EL-SAYED DREW A HERO’S WELCOME Bostom said that Masood’s remarks should not be looked at in isolation, but rather within a larger pattern of antisemitic themes that have appeared in writings of some Muslim scholars. He cited Muhammad Sayyid Tantawy, the late Grand Imam of Al-Azhar University in Egypt, who he said was “the near…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! If the 2026 midterms were held today, polls suggest that Democrats would be the favorites to retake the Senate.Indeed, according to RealClearPolitics polling averages, Democratic Senate candidates lead in North Carolina (+8%), Minnesota (+4%), Texas (+3%), Ohio (+3%), as well as Michigan, Maine, and Alaska (+2% each).Moreover, with President Trump’s approval rating hovering just below 40%, it’s legitimate to ask whether his sagging approval numbers will drag down Republican candidates across the country.12 RACES SCRAMBLE SENATE BATTLEFIELD AS DEMOCRATS EYE COMEBACKNeeding to flip four seats — assuming no GOP pickups in Michigan, Minnesota, or Georgia — the Senate is well within striking distance for Democrats, according to the data.That being said, the midterms are not today, and roughly two months until Election Day is a considerable amount of time.In that same vein, the Democratic candidates in these races have a number of personal and party-wide vulnerabilities, so it is by no means clear that what may currently look possible — or even probable — will come to fruition.TRUMP’S APPROVAL RATING PLUMMETS TO NEW LOW AHEAD OF CRITICAL MIDTERMS: ‘MORE WORK TO DO’I say this for a number of reasons.First, outside of North…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Author William P. Young’s new book “Return to the Shack” centers on the power of forgiveness, and he praised Erika Kirk for presenting a strong display of it last year.Young’s novel “The Shack” tells the story of a father’s healing process after his daughter was kidnapped and killed on a camping trip. The grieving dad, Mack, receives a mysterious letter from God asking him to come to a shack, where he meets an unorthodox Holy Trinity. While considered controversial by some religious readers, the story largely resonated with audiences and was turned into a motion picture in 2017. Young’s sequel focuses on forgiveness as Mack comes face-to-face with his daughter’s killer as he is given a more humanized storyline.”I think we need to make a distinction between forgiveness and reconciliation,” Young told Fox News Digital. “Forgiveness is for the sake of the one who’s been harmed, so that you can continue to live your life without the specter of what’s on your shoulders. And I mean, you can forgive someone and never trust them again. Reconciliation is the slow, arduous, painful process of learning how to trust. Or taking the risk that you…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Pennsylvania state Rep. David Maloney, a Republican, is asking President Donald Trump to rename Lake Erie to “Lake Pennsylvania” following similar renaming efforts by the president.Maloney is preparing a resolution calling on Trump, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and lawmakers on Capitol Hill to take steps to rename Lake Erie to “Lake Pennsylvania,” arguing that the change is needed to reflect the lake’s modern identity.”This is Pennsylvania’s only Great Lake. Its modern economy and identity are increasingly tied to the boaters, anglers, families and tourists who come to enjoy it,” Maloney said in a statement. “Ohio has plenty of shoreline. New York already has two Great Lakes. Canada has four others.”NEW YORK GOV HOCHUL REJECTS TRUMP’S ‘LAKE AMERICA’ RENAMING WITH BLUNT MESSAGE “Pennsylvania has one. Let’s call it Lake Pennsylvania!” he added.Lake Erie is the smallest of the Great Lakes by volume as well as the shallowest, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. The lake has about 12 million people in its watershed, with 10.5 million people in the U.S. and 1.9 million people in Canada.This comes after Trump signed an executive order last month to rename Lake Ontario to “Lake America,” a rebranding that…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Outspoken liberal actor Robert De Niro agreed with some of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s critics that his comments on law enforcement were “ridiculous” but still argued the mayor should attend Friday’s 9/11 memorial.Political rancor has threatened to cast a long shadow over this year’s Sept. 11 remembrance events, marking 25 years since the tragedy that rocked the United States. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s past rhetoric and links to terror sympathizers are spurring intense backlash ahead of the city’s events memorializing the World Trade Center attacks, with Republicans and people whose lives were changed by the attacks demanding he not attend.The Hollywood Reporter noted the controversy when it spoke to De Niro in an interview published Thursday, asking, “Do you think he should be there?””I don’t see why he shouldn’t come,” De Niro said. “He’s the mayor. I haven’t heard him say or do anything yet that would disqualify him from being there. Maybe I’m naive, but you have to give the guy a chance. He’s not a part of what happened.” MAMDANI HEADS TO 9/11 MEMORIAL DESPITE 110,000-SIGNATURE PUSH FROM VICTIMS’ FAMILIES TO STAY AWAY One of the past comments Mamdani has…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Thirty percent of college students nationwide believe using violence is an acceptable way to stop a controversial speaker at a campus event, according to a new survey from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE).Specifically, 3% said it was always acceptable, 12% said it was sometimes acceptable and 16% said it was rarely acceptable to use violence as a means of prohibiting a speaker from appearing on a college campus, according to FIRE’s survey.The data comes a year after Charlie Kirk was assassinated during a college event held by his organization, Turning Point USA, on Sept. 10, 2025, while Kirk was engaging in debate with students.I’M A UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A proposal backed by Vice President JD Vance to subsidize stay-at-home parents with up to $9,000 per child annually would invite government intrusion and undermine the initiative’s original purpose of encouraging work and independence, according to a group founded by former Vice President Mike Pence.In a one-page document, Advancing American Freedom (AAF) urged conservatives to oppose the plan, which it said would “expose the sanctity of the family to government intrusion, punish work, and create new avenues for fraud.”Vance is pushing for the expansion of the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF), which was created during the Clinton administration to help low-income and working-class families pay for childcare. The program provides about $9,000 per child annually, with funds typically paid directly to childcare providers. CONSERVATIVES CAN FIGHT THE RISE OF SOCIALISM BY DEFENDING THE AMERICAN FAMILYUnder Vance’s draft plan, families with a stay-at-home parent earning below state income limits could receive up to $9,000 per child annually. To qualify, a married couple must feature one spouse who stays at home while the other works at least 35 hours a week.Unmarried couples and non-working single parents would not be eligible.”Parenting is the most difficult…

The event took place just miles from where the attacks unfolded 25 years ago.Later in the day, players, managers, coaches and umpires across the MLB wore special caps bearing a “We Shall Never Forget” side patch. The Toronto Blue Jays wore caps featuring both the Canadian and American flags, while the Yankees and Mets wore first-responder caps with their team logos at Yankee Stadium.AMERICA MARKS 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11 ATTACKS Ahead of Friday night’s first pitch in the Bronx, Aaron Judge and Gerrit Cole joined manager Aaron Boone to lay a wreath at the 9/11 memorial in Monument Park.A giant flag covered the outfield for the national anthem, sung by the opera tenor James Valenti, with Lee Greenwood following him with “God Bless America.”At ballparks across the majors, customized base jewels and…
