A French senator has been preliminarily charged with drugging a female lawmaker with ecstasy in order to rape her, the public prosecutor’s office said Friday. Joël Guerriau, 66, a member of the center-right Horizons party, was arrested Thursday, two days after fellow lawmaker Sandrine Josso, 48, allegedly had a glass of champagne with him at his Paris home and then complained of feeling unwell. Josso said she recalled Guerriau grabbing a “small plastic bag containing something white, in a drawer in his kitchen,” her lawyer Julia Minkowski told AFP. FRENCH PRESIDENT SEEKS TO ENSHRINE ABORTION IN COUNTRY’S CONSTITUTION “She had to deploy monumental physical and intellectual forces to overcome her terror and extricate herself at the last minute from this ambush,” Minkowski said, adding that her client was “in a state of shock.” Guerriau was preliminarily charged with drugging another lawmaker with the aim of carrying out a rape or sexual assault, according to the Paris prosecutor’s office. Preliminary charges under French law mean investigating magistrates have strong reason to suspect wrongdoing but allow more time before determining whether to send a case to trial. Tests revealed that Josso had ecstasy in her system, investigators said, prompting her to file a criminal complaint. Police later searched Guerriau’s office and home where they found ecstasy, the broadcasting station RMC reported.  Guerriau has been suspended from the Horizons party, according to the Associated Press.  The senator’s lawyer, Remi-Pierre Drai, gave an initial statement stressing that “we are miles away from the obscene interpretation that one might infer from reading initial reports in the press.” MOTHER, FATHER OF TODDLER WHO OVERDOSED ON POWERFUL DRUGS LEFT WITHIN REACH OF HER CRIB SENTENCED “Guerriau is not a predator… he is an honest man, respected and respectable, who will restore his and his family’s honor,” the lawyer said.  Guerriau was also indicted for possessing drugs and placed under judicial supervision, his lawyer added. His lawyer said Guerriau didn’t intend to drug Josso to abuse her and has apologized to her. Drai said in a statement that ‘’it was a handling error’’ that caused the lawmaker to fall ill, although he did not elaborate. The two lawmakers had not been in a romantic relationship and had been friends for about 10 years, according to reports.  Josso serves in the National Assembly, the lower house of the French Parliament, and is a member of the Democratic, MoDem and Independents groups. The French Senate is the upper house. Guerriau, who was originally a banker, has served in the French Senate since 2011 and is deputy head of its foreign and military affairs committee. Josso has been in office since 2017. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

A 5-year-old boy was stabbed to death by his twin brother during a fight between the pair in California earlier this week, the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office announced via a social media post. The incident took place Wednesday just before 4 p.m. at the family home on Tucker Road in rural Scotts Valley where one of the boys grabbed a small kitchen knife and stabbed his twin sibling, police said. Scotts Valley is about six miles north of the city of Santa Cruz. “Tragically, during the incident, one of the 5-year-old’s got a small kitchen knife and stabbed his twin brother,” the post reads. CA MAN DIES AFTER POLICE CONFRONTATION LINKED TO MOTHER’S STABBING Deputies were called to the scene and the victim was rushed to hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.  “We are heartbroken for the family of these two young children and share in their grief,” the post continues. The Sheriff’s Office said that based on its current investigation, the child was unaware of the wrongfulness of his actions and so no charges will be filed against the boy or anyone involved. The Sheriff’s Office cited Penal Code 26 which presumes that youth under the age of 14 are not capable of committing a crime unless “at the time of committing the act charged against them, they knew its wrongfulness.” CALIFORNIA MURDER SUSPECT CHARGED IN STABBING DEATH OF 6-YEAR-OLD BOY AND HIS GREAT-GRANDMOTHER Furthermore, since 2019, the state is no longer permitted to process children under 12 through the juvenile justice system.  Investigators said that there was also no indication of negligence or criminal activity by any other party. Steven Clark, a former prosecutor, said the speed at which the sheriff’s office announced no charges were being brought, suggests the children were being properly supervised and in no inherent danger. “[It] suggests that this family was acting appropriately, that this was just a one-off, horrible, tragic event,” Clark told ABC 7. Ashley Keehn, the public information officer for the Sheriff’s Office, reiterated that the incident was a tragic situation and no negligence was involved.  “Through investigation and witness interviews, there was no negligence,” Keehn told ABC 7. This ended up being just being a very tragic, horrific situation.” The Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office said it was not releasing any more information pertaining to the case and asked for the public to respect the family’s privacy.

Well, I swear. Is it just me, or are four-letter words inescapable these days?  I’m not a prude and I’ve been known to utter “bad words” on occasion, but it seems as though whatever barriers once existed to profanity in polite society have died a quiet death.  I first saw the four-letter word for excrement in print in a community newspaper around 1968, when I was 10, long before pooper scooping became the law. The writer was complaining about dog feces left on the sidewalks, but he sure didn’t write “feces.” I grew up in a home where such words were never used. Seeing an obscenity in print was shocking. How young and naïve I was.  BIDEN REPORTEDLY FUMES AND SPEWS CURSES AT STAFF IN PRIVATE: ‘NO ONE IS SAFE’ My dad took me to a hockey game around 1970. The crowd expressed its extreme displeasure with the opposing team, chanting that they did something vacuum cleaners and suction cups did. I didn’t know what they were talking about, and my father wouldn’t explain it. It took a few more years before I got clued in. Then came George Carlin’s “7 Dirty Words” routine, which gave an intellectual patina to the public use of vulgarity. Next, the Nixon tapes, filled with infinite [expletive deleted]’s, bracing the nation with the revelation of locker room language in the Oval Office. How shocked we were to discover that all the president’s men had potty mouths.  Then came the great Red Sox-Yankees rivalry of the mid to late 1970s, replete with chants of “Yankees suck!” (And, in the Bronx, “Boston blows!”) Traditionalists were appalled. Young people were delighted with the public naughtiness of it all.  In the 1980s, comedy clubs, late night TV, hip-hop and cable removed whatever objections people had to “bad words.” And then came Howard Stern on satellite radio, and then the Internet and social media, and the wheels came off, once and for all. PROFESSOR HURLS STUDENTS’ PRO-LIFE DISPLAY AFTER PROFANITY-LACED TIRADE: ‘TRIGGERING MY STUDENTS’ As profanity rises, subtlety vanishes. Back in the day, limits actually enhanced creativity and even comedy. The owner of the all-woman band in the 1959 Billy Wilder classic “Some Like It Hot” has to watch her language, as did everyone else back then. She hilariously tells the band manager, “Every girl in my band is a virtuoso, and I intend to keep it that way!” “Obscene” derives from the ancient Greek prefix “ob-” or off and the word “skene,” which means stage, from which we take the word “scene.” Anything that the Greeks wouldn’t put on a stage was considered ob-skene, or obscene. Today, there are no standards, on stage or off.  These days, in fact, the world is awash in bad language. The former president notoriously referred to certain “s—hole countries” in Africa. A recent Politico.com article quoted one British politician describing others as “f—wads,” which does have a certain British ring to it. Even some business books are replete with swear words; it’s hard to tell whether the authors are struggling to appear au courant or whether they’re just clueless about how offensive they will be to broad swaths of readers. It used to be a sign of ill breeding to use profanity in public. No longer. Expletives were always part of the workplace conversation, but they were confined, in gentler times, to moments when women were not in earshot, and used only with people one already knew.  CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION These days, I’m always surprised when total strangers – business prospects or others, men or women – drop f-bombs at first meetings. Don’t they realize that someone might be offended? Or am I the last person on earth to care? Women of my mother’s generation never used coarse language. Today, gender makes no difference when it comes to four-letter words or gerunds derived therefrom. Decades ago, swearing was associated with sailors, not with college-educated women. Of course, back then, only sailors had tattoos, too. It appears that there is no turning back; that profanity, out of the mouths of men, women and babes, is irrevocably part of our daily discourse. The world is the worse for our boorishness.  Are there more pressing problems than the fact that expletives are no longer deleted? That we, and our children, are subject not just to Carlin’s 7 dirty words but also to others that even Nixon might not have used?  Yes, but if you want my opinion, it’s still a f—ing shame.

Rosalynn Carter, who is 96, announced on Friday that she has entered hospice care at her home in Georgia.  The former first lady and former President Jimmy Carter, 99, are now spending time with each other and their family while both are in hospice care together. The president, back in February, entered hospice care at his home rather than seek additional medical attention after a series of short hospital stays, according to a statement from the Carter Center. FORMER FIRST LADY ROSALYNN CARTER ENTERS HOSPICE CARE What is hospice care — and what does this mean for the Carters and anyone else who has begun this type of care? “Hospice is health care for people who are dying,” Dr. Harold Braswell, associate professor of Health Care Ethics at St. Louis University and author of several books related to end-of-life issues, told Fox News Digital via email on Friday. A person becomes eligible for hospice, he said, after the diagnosis of a condition with a prognosis of “six months or less to live.”  “This care is interdisciplinary, and includes medical, psychosocial and spiritual elements, as well as some assistance with activities of daily living,” Braswell said.  Unlike in a hospital setting, where doctors work to cure a disease or ailment and prolong someone’s life, hospice care seeks to manage the symptoms, such as pain, and to assist patients as their lives wind down. TONY BENNETT’S BATTLE WITH ALZHEIMER’S: WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT DEMENTIA AND DEATH “Hospice is not curative care,” said Braswell. “It is not oriented toward curing a patient’s medical condition — and, in fact, qualifying for hospice generally requires that a patient abandon curative interventions such as chemotherapy.” Additionally, hospice care does not intentionally cause or hasten the death of a patient, nor does it typically include 24/7 care, according to the Hospice Foundation of America’s website. In the United States, most hospice care is given in an outpatient setting, Braswell told Fox News Digital.  This could be in a person’s home, as the Carters are doing, or in a nursing home or long-term care facility.  “Some hospices — a relatively small number — offer inpatient care, though this is only for a very short amount of time, generally for people who are actively dying,” Braswell said.  There are four levels of hospice care, according to the WebMD website.  VISION PROBLEMS COULD MEAN HIGHER DEMENTIA RISK, STUDY FINDS: ‘EYE HEALTH AND BRAIN HEALTH ARE CLOSELY LINKED’ Two of these levels happen at home. “Routine home care,” the most common form of hospice care, involves nursing and home health aides. The next level, “continuous home care,” entails the constant presence of a nurse or medical professional, WebMD stated. Both “general inpatient care” and “respite care” involve the patient’s staying at a hospice facility.  With respite care, a patient goes to a facility for care to provide their caregivers with a temporary break.  CHRISTIAN AUTHOR, FAMED PASTOR TIM KELLER RECEIVING HOSPICE CARE AT HOME: ‘CAN’T WAIT TO SEE JESUS’ A person may consider beginning hospice care after experiencing “a significant decline in physical and/or cognitive status despite medical treatment,” according to the Hospice Foundation of America, or if the individual is not seeing results from “the often physically debilitating treatments” for an illness.  CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER The start of hospice care does not mean that the patient is merely days, or even weeks, away from death, experts say.  It’s often beneficial for the patient and the family to begin hospice care as early as possible, but that doesn’t always happen.  As hospice care requires that a person cease curative care, many terminally ill patients do not opt to start it until just a few weeks before they die.  “This has created a problem in that many people do not give up these services until it is [far] too late,” said Braswell.  A few weeks is “too short a time for hospice to have its maximum benefit,” he added. Rosalyn Carter was diagnosed with dementia earlier this year. Her family has requested privacy during this time.  Greg Wehner of Fox News Digital contributed reporting.

My social media feeds are filled with reposts from TikTok videos featuring Gen Z having a lot of issues with work.  “Lazy Girl Jobs” encouraging women to seek out low stress, minimal effort, possibly remote jobs (but of course, high-paying ones) became a viral phenomenon. One young women shared an on-camera breakdown over working 9-5, because, with commute, she was tired and didn’t have enough “free time.”  While it’s easy to dunk on these young people, I really blame the parents. This hurts, because Gen Z is being raised in large part by Gen X, which should make the kids awesome and self-sufficient. But alas, as we keep witnessing across social media, many young people are struggling. Here’s where they have been let down and how they can change it around. WHAT GEN Z WANTS TO CANCEL MOST – THE ANSWER ABOUT MY GENERATION WILL SURPRISE YOU Not Preparing Gen-Z for Work With young people consuming so much Marxist propaganda online and even in school, it is not entirely surprising that young people want to do as little work as possible and just expect that food, clothing, shelter, entertainment and more will just fall from the sky for them. When you are young, you start from square one. You probably don’t have much of a net worth (or perhaps a negative one like I did from college loans). You don’t have a lot of experience. So, yes, you have to work hard to take care of your needs and wants. And then, over time, you can earn extra free time if you desire it. That doesn’t mean you should neglect self-care, it just means you need to be realistic and efficient. If you are too tired to work out when you get home because of a long commute, work out closer to your work’s location when you have more energy. If meal prep is getting you down, prepare your meals on Sunday evening for the week.  Finally, give it perspective. If you have a job you love or a great opportunity to learn, focus on what is amazing about those opportunities to which others don’t have access.  GEN Z GETS WAKE-UP CALL ON HOW THE ‘REAL WORLD’ WORKS: ‘SUCCESS ISN’T HANDED TO YOU,’ SAYS YOUNG PROFESSIONAL Not Giving Them Self-Worth When I was young, my father instilled in me a sense of pride for whatever I did. Whether it was making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as a worker in the kitchen of a day camp (yes, I did that job) to writing bestselling books now, whatever I do, my name goes on it and I take putting my name on my work seriously. Many young people don’t have pride in themselves or their work, which is their personal art and contribution to the world. The idea that you are seeking to be a lazy girl is absolutely emblematic of not having pride in yourself and how you spend your time. It doesn’t mean that you have to kill yourself with work, but you have a privilege that very few people around the world and throughout history have had – you can choose how you want to earn a living and support yourself, and you have a wide variety of choices, which you can change fairly easily and frequently throughout your life. A DISTURBING GEN Z SOCIAL MEDIA TREND THREATENS AMERICA’S MOST IMPORTANT INSTITUTION Whatever you do, give yourself your all and be proud of what you are contributing to others and to your own self-fulfillment. Teaching Them About a Diary When I was growing up, young people who were going through challenges worked out their problems in a couple of ways. One was a diary, where they could vent their frustrations on paper and nobody was meant to read it. Or, perhaps, we sought counsel via a phone call with a friend or a discussion with a sibling.  What we did not do is create a production to share with the world and for millions of strangers to comment on (like I am doing here). Personal growth can be a challenge at any age, but it is amplified when you are young. As a young person, that’s your personal struggle and you do not need to broadcast that to the world (again, something that your parents should have taught you). CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION Trying to use every aspect of your personal life for clicks or other attention isn’t healthy and will end up causing more harm than good. In fact, it would be healthy to step away from the phone and learn to live in the moment in all that you do. Try to get outside and just enjoy it. You don’t need to share what you are doing, you don’t need to do a broadcast or view nature through a phone camera lens. Just take the time to be present and enjoy the world yourself without feeling the need to include everyone or get their approval.  Mentorship for Gen Z Mentorship can help Gen Z reach its potential. Where their parents may have failed, other people in their life can help. Young people should seek out relationships with people that they admire (in real life, not on TikTok and Instagram) and get feedback when they are struggling.  There are plenty of people who have decades of experience that can help make them more at ease with their personal and professional choices and with their perspective. And, people are usually very willing to help if you ask kindly and make it easy for them to do so. What Gen Z needs to learn is that growth, challenges and struggles are all a normal part of life, but broadcasting those to the world is not.  CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM CAROL ROTH

The head of a Chicago college is insisting no “single perspective represents the views of the entire university” after Fox News Digital reported on the sociology professors who repeatedly sent mass anti-Israel emails to students and staff.  Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU) Interim President Dr. Katrina Bell-Jordan issued a statement to the entire campus community clarifying its free speech position after Fox News Digital reported that students and staff in the Sociology Department received multiple emails from professors advocating against the Jewish state.  “Northeastern values community and diversity and as an educated institution, we have a responsibility and commitment to allow our community to express their opinions under the First Amendment even when we may not agree with what is being said,” Bell-Jordan wrote to students and staff Thursday night in an email obtained by Fox News Digital. “We must also remember that no single perspective represents the views of the entire University.” CHICAGO COLLEGE PROFESSOR JUSTIFIES HAMAS ATTACK ‘AFTER 75 YEARS OF ISRAELI WHITE SUPREMACY’ Bell-Jordan continued, “We ask our community to continue to be mindful that many in our NEIU community may be grieving and otherwise struggling with loss and anxiety related to the violence in Gaza and Israel. No words are adequate under these circumstances, and yet, the anguish of tragedy requires that we come together to support and care for one another.” NEIU did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.  Bell-Jordan’s campus-wide email came after Fox News Digital first reported the anti-Israel rhetoric coming from NEIU’s sociology department.  Brooke Johnson, an associate professor and sociology department coordinator, appeared to justify the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks by Hamas by telling sociology students and staff it came “after 75 years of Israeli White supremacy.” “After 75 years of Israeli White supremacy, including displacement, human rights violations, and systemic violence, Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th which resulted in 1400 deaths and 240 hostages,” Johnson wrote in a Nov. 8 email obtained by Fox News Digital. “Israel is now collectively punishing Palestinians. The Palestinian death toll from Israeli airstrikes exceeds 10,000, and almost half of these are children. This number increases daily as airstrikes continue; water, food and medical aid are cut off; and demands for a humanitarian cease-fire increase.” THE MOST EXTREME ANTI-ISRAEL, HAMAS-SYMPATHIZING MOMENTS ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES SINCE THE OCT. 7 ATTACKS One student who received the email was left “really upset” by what Johnson wrote, calling the accusations she made against Israel, including being guilty of “White supremacy,” as “just not true.” “I called my mom and I started crying,” the student, who did not wish to be identified, told Fox News Digital.  Later in the email, after offering several articles she believes would educate her students and colleagues on the Israel-Palestinian conflict, Johnson urged them to join the progressive cease-fire movement.  “What can you do to get involved with demands for a humanitarian cease-fire?” Johnson asked before listing several bullet points which include “Talk with your Sociology professors about resistance movements, settler colonialism, antisemitism, racism, genocide, and sociology,” contacting members of Congress, and signing petitions she shared.  OSAMA BIN LADEN’S INFAMOUS ‘LETTER TO AMERICA’ AFTER 9/11 PROMOTED BY TIKTOK INFLUENCERS, GOES VIRAL Johnson, who has a background in focusing on “Women’s, Gender, & Sexuality Studies,” also shared a list from Haymarket Books of suggested books to read that includes titles like “Palestine: A Socialist Introduction,” “Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions: The Global Struggle for Palestinian Rights,” “Apartheid Israel,” “Against Apartheid” and “The Palestine Communist Party.”  Additionally, she urged students and colleagues to join protests and cited several resources to participate in upcoming demonstrations, including a pro-Palestinian publication called “The Electronic Intifada.” Historically, what’s called the First Intifada was a deadly series of attacks and protests carried out by Palestinians against Israelis during the 1980s. The Second Intifada occurred in the early 2000s as at least 1,000 Israelis were killed by terrorist attacks carried out by Palestinians using suicide bombers on buses and shooting civilians in the streets, bars and restaurants in cities like Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Another NEIU sociology professor, Brett Stockdill, similarly sent at least two mass emails on behalf of “NEIU Students, Staff, Faculty and Alumni for Justice in Palestine,” urging students and staff in the department to sign an open letter calling for a cease-fire.  “At a time of such staggering civilian casualties and destruction in Gaza, there is a simultaneous occurrence of unprecedented national and media-driven campaigns aimed at suppressing or stigmatizing voices that advocate for Palestinian human rights. In response, we urge our colleagues and administration to derive inspiration from the core values of Northeastern Illinois University,” the open letter reads. “We implore them to leverage their influence in supporting the national and international appeals for an immediate cease-fire and end to Israel’s siege on Gaza. Furthermore, we encourage them to champion the protection of our students, staff, and faculty, enabling them to express their support for Palestinian human rights freely and without fear of censorship or intimidation.” It also states “We reject all claims that criticism of Israel is inherently anti-Semitic, and we stand with the many Jewish voices against this ongoing military occupation and killing of civilians.” However, the open letter makes no mention of the soaring instances of antisemitism across the country, nor was there any mention of the roughly 240 hostages, up to nine of them Americans, being held captive in Gaza.  Neither Johnson nor Stockdill responded to Fox News Digital’s requests for comment.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP For more Culture, Media, Education, Opinion, and channel coverage, visit foxnews.com/media.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is sounding the alarm over what he calls Russian President Vladimir Putin’s desire to foment conflict in the troubled Balkans region. The Ukrainian president warned Putin is looking to distract from Russia’s failed military efforts in Ukraine by stoking tensions in a region of Europe where Russian culture still holds significant sway. “Pay attention to the Balkans. Believe me, we’re getting information. Russia has a long plan. … If our partners do nothing now, there will be another explosion,” Zelenskyy said. “Zelenskyy is correct. A conflict has been brewing in the Balkans for months now, if not longer,” Rebekah Koffler, a strategic military intelligence analyst and the author of “Putin’s Playbook,” told Fox News Digital. “While Russia is unlikely to start a full-blown war at this time — as Putin has committed most of his manpower and material to the battlefield in Ukraine — it’s an almost certainty that Moscow will continue its covert destabilization operations in the Balkans. THE ONE THING ZELENSKYY SHOULD DO TO PROVE UKRAINE DESERVES MORE FUNDING “Russia does not recognize Kosovo’s independence. The breakup of Yugoslavia was a gut punch for Putin. So, reversing the situation in Kosovo is his strategic goal. Hence, we will likely see more and more instability in the Balkans, especially now that the United States is hyper-focused on the Middle East.” Russian forces expected a quick victory over the Ukrainian armed forces and little resistance from the population during the initial invasion, with many predicting the fall of Kyiv within days. During nearly two years of combat, Ukraine, with steadfast military and financial support from the U.S. and NATO, pushed Russian forces back to the east and liberated conquered territory. Recent figures provided by the U.K. estimate that over 300,000 Russian soldiers have been killed or wounded and tens of thousands have deserted. SERBIA, CAUGHT BETWEEN EUROPE AND RUSSIA, COULD MOVE ONE STEP CLOSER TO NORMALIZING RELATIONS WITH KOSOVO If Russia is intent on sowing instability in the Balkans to distract from military failures in Ukraine, it would not come as a surprise to any observers of the region. “Zelenskyy is absolutely right. Putin indeed wants to foment conflicts in other parts of the world to distract from Ukraine as he considers the war in Ukraine to be an existential fight for Russia and will stop at nothing to win it,” a diplomatic source with expert knowledge of the region told Fox News Digital. The U.S. has tried to nudge Serbia and other Balkan nations to make the necessary democratic reforms to fulfill their commitments and join the EU. A centerpiece of this project is Serbia’s normalization of relations with longtime foe Kosovo.  Some observers and policymakers feel the U.S., under successive administrations, hasn’t engaged with the Balkans sufficiently enough as the focus has shifted to other more urgent foreign policy crises in Ukraine, Israel’s war on Gaza and China’s ambitions against Taiwan. “While Russia continues its action to increase its influences in the Balkans and has succeeded in Montenegro, where pro-Russian parties rule the country, the West and U.S. continue with their naive appeasement policy toward Belgrade and their efforts to bring closer a Russian satellite country such as Serbia,” Agim Nesho, former Albanian Ambassador to the U.S. and the United Nations, told Fox News Digital. “The lack of a clear U.S. strategy for the Balkans enables Russia to enact its revisionist projects in the region.” The Western Balkans is fertile ground for fomenting conflicts, and Russia possess many cultural assets to make it happen. Putin wants to keep the Balkan region divided and prevent it from comfortably integrating into NATO and the EU.  Russia has deep historical, cultural and religious connections to the Balkans, and narratives sympathetic to Russia often emanate from the Serbian Orthodox Church (SOC). Through the SOC and other entities, Russia is able to spread disinformation through friendly pro-Russian media outlets and social media to influence elements of society that have pro-Russian sympathies, mainly ethnically Serb communities in Kosovo, Bosnia and Montenegro, as well as Serbia itself. “Russia, of course, continues to exert influence mainly through its propaganda warfare, which remains strong, especially in Serbia, which has not imposed sanctions against Russia,” Helena Ivanov, associate fellow at the Henry Jackson Society, told Fox News Digital. FURTHER TROUBLE IN RUSSIA’S BACKYARD AS RECENT FIGHTING BETWEEN ALLIES CREATES NEW HEADACHE FOR PUTIN This wouldn’t be the first time Russia was accused of trying to destabilize an eastern European country with ties to the former Soviet Union. Moldova’s government alleged Russia planned to foment a coup to overthrow its pro-European government in March. The U.S. did not believe there was an immediate military threat to Moldova, but National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby said at the time the U.S. believed Russian assets, with possible ties to Russian intelligence, were looking to stage protests and launch an insurrection against the Moldovan government. While it is true Russia seeks to influence political and cultural outcomes in the Balkans, there’s no legitimate fear Putin will launch or instigate a Ukraine-style conflict in a region that is tightly integrated into NATO and increasing its ties with the EU. “The Ukraine scenario in this region remains extremely unlikely due to the fact that KFOR troops remain in Kosovo and serve as a strong deference which prevents either side from escalating tensions into an all-out war. The continued engagement of KFOR thus remains crucial,” Ivanov cautioned.

Earlier this week, the 29-year-old appeared on “The Drew Barrymore Show” to talk about her dad’s ongoing battle with dementia. APP USERS CLICK HERE “He is the same, which I think in this regard I’ve learned is the best thing you can ask for,” she said. “I see love when I’m with him, and it’s my dad, and he loves me, which is really special,” she added. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER Barrymore asked why the family has been so open about his condition, which Tallulah described as “a very aggressive cognitive disease; [a] form of dementia that’s very rare.” “Well, I think it’s twofold. On one hand, it’s who we are as a family, but also, it’s really important for us to spread awareness,” she explained. Tallulah and her sisters, Scout and Rumer, whom Willis shares with ex-wife Demi Moore, have done their best to focus on the good times with their dad. Scout wrote about the “Die Hard” star’s “cruel” diagnosis on Instagram earlier this year, saying, “Feeling emotionally tired and a bit overwhelmed, yet also very in awe of the love so many people have for my papa.” LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS Rumer, who welcomed her first child, Louetta Isley with her partner Derek Richard earlier this year, shared sweet photos of Willis holding his first grandchild. “Seeing my father hold my daughter today was something I will treasure for the rest of my life,” Rumer wrote in the caption. “His sweetness and love for her was so pure and beautiful.”  She continued, “Papa I’m so lucky to have you and so is Lou. Thank you for being the silliest, most loving, coolest Daddio a girl could ask for. Best Girl Dad in the game….” Willis also has two younger daughters, Mabel and Evelyn, with wife Emma Heming. The family first announced that the “Pulp Fiction” star had been diagnosed with aphasia in spring 2022, before revealing in February this year he had progressed to frontotemporal dementia. “Our family wanted to start by expressing our deepest gratitude for the incredible outpouring of love, support and wonderful stories we have all received since sharing Bruce’s original diagnosis,” Moore wrote at the time. “In the spirit of that, we wanted to give you an update about our beloved husband, father and friend since we now have a deeper understanding of what he is experiencing.” She continued, “Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD). Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis.”

Country star Lee Greenwood shared a message to young people after Osama bin Laden’s “Letter to America” was widely shared on TikTok, with many promoting the al Qaeda leader’s rhetoric. “I got an answer for you. It’s family, God and country,” the “God Bless the U.S.A” singer told “The Ingraham Angle” in Nashville, Tenn., before the FOX Nation Patriot Awards Thursday. Greenwood gave host Laura Ingraham a signed copy of the “God Bless the U.S.A. Bible” which contained the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Pledge of Allegiance and Bill of Rights. BIDEN CAMP WEIGHS JOINING TIKTOK TO SWAY YOUNG VOTERS MONTHS AFTER PURGING APP FROM FEDERAL DEVICES: REPORT Greenwood’s comments came after a TikTok influencer went viral this week for promoting bin Laden’s “Letter to America.” Online personality and pro-Palestinian activist Lynette Adkins urged her over 175,000 TikTok followers on Tuesday to read the words of the terrorist mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks.  “I need everyone to stop what they’re doing right now and go read- It’s literally two pages. Go read ‘A Letter to America,” Adkins said in the video. “And please come back here and just let me know what you think because I feel like I’m going through, like, an existential crisis right now and a lot of people are, so I just need someone else to be feeling this.” Her video received roughly 800,000 views and over 80,000 likes on TikTok.  SOCIAL MEDIA GIANTS FEATURE FAR MORE PRO-PALESTINIAN CONTENT THAN PRO-ISRAELI CONTENT, LED BY TIKTOK: EXPERT In the letter to the American people translated into English, bin Laden justifies al Qaeda’s attacks against the U.S. because “you attacked us” and “You attacked us in Palestine.” Reacting to the story, the country star explained further what patriotism means. “The thing is, if we just believe in America like we’ve never believed in her – she stands for freedom and for the world,” Greenwood said. “When you talk about the word ‘patriot’ in the dictionary, it says love and devotion and a sense of attraction for your country and satisfaction. So there are people who do volunteerism and for sacrifice. And it’s all about sacrificing for our country now.” Adkins has since released a statement that she does not agree with “extremism” or any form of hate or violence.  ANTISEMITIC TIKTOK CONTENT THE LATEST ‘DIGITAL FENTANYL’ FROM CHINA, REPUBLICAN LAWMAKER SAYS “I read the letter after some other creators shared it, & was surprised because I never knew it existed. I posted it to my page so others could read it as well,” Adkins said in a statement to FOX News. “I did not share the letter to promote any form of hate or violence against anyone, nor do I agree with the extremism in it. I was just shocked by what I had read & wanted to have a conversation about it with my followers. I was 3 in 2001, and was always taught 9/11 happened because other people were jealous of our democracy in the US. Now that I’m older & am able to learn about history beyond the narrative of mainstream media, I’m realizing that there is more to the story. I think we all deserve a right to access the information being presented to us & form our own conclusions without subscribing to extreme or radical ideologies.” She continued, “The letter was taken off of the Guardian’s site after being on there for over 20 years. My Tiktok was banned as of this morning, & many people who are sharing the letter are getting their videos removed as well. If we live in a true democracy, I think we should be allowed to have open & peaceful conversations about what’s happening in the world.” FOX News’ Joseph A. Wulfsohn contributed to this report.

One day after shocking allegations by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ ex-girlfriend, ‘Cassie,’ of rape and years of abuse, the two have settled the lawsuit she filed against the rapper.

Cassie, legally known as Casandra Ventura, alleged she endured “over a decade” of Diddy’s “violent behavior and disturbed demands” in a lawsuit filed Thursday in United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. “After years in silence and darkness, I am finally ready to tell my story, and to speak up on behalf of myself and for the benefit of other women who face violence and abuse in their relationships,” she told Fox News Digital in a statement. “With the expiration of New York’s Adult Survivors Act fast approaching, it became clear that this was an opportunity to speak up about the trauma I have experienced and that I will be recovering from for the rest of my life.” SEAN ‘DIDDY’ COMBS ‘VEHEMENTLY DENIES’ ACCUSATIONS OF RAPE AND YEARS OF ABUSE BY EX CASSIE “I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control. I want to thank my family, fans and lawyers for their unwavering support,” Cassie wrote in a statement.

American and Canadian railroads enacted time zones — a concept that schedules all aspects of life today — on this day in history, Nov. 18, 1883.  The rail industry’s creation of time zones was a brazen attempt to bend time to its will.  It brought sanity to a sprawling patchwork system of local timekeeping based on the ancient method of following the sun, the system used since human time began. ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, NOVEMBER 17 1871, NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION FOUNDED BY CIVIL WAR VETERAN UNION OFFICERS “Back in the early 1800s, the sun served as the official ‘clock’ in the U.S., and time was based on each city’s own solar noon, or the point when the sun is highest in the sky,” Union Pacific railroad writes in its history of time zones.  “This timekeeping method resulted in the creation of more than 300 local time zones across the country — not to mention disparity in local time depending on your location. So, for example, while it could be 12:09 p.m. in New York, it could also be 12:17 p.m. in Chicago.” The system that railroads pioneered did not become federal law until the passage of the Standard Time Act on March 19, 1918, amid World War I.  With an estimated 100,000 Americans alive today over the age of 100, tens of thousands of U.S. citizens still alive now were born into a world without uniform time.  Charles F. Dowd, an educator at what’s now Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York, first proposed the concept of time zones across the U.S. in 1870.  WINNER OF HERO DOG 2022: AMERICAN HUMAN SOCIETY CROWNS PUP WHO WENT FROM ‘TRASY TO TREASURE’ “Dowd’s plan divided the country into four time zones. He used the 75th meridian, which runs through New York State, as the base for his Eastern Standard Time,” explains the Madison Historical Society from the Connecticut hometown of the time pioneer.  “He then assigned three cross-country meridians: Central Standard (90th); Mountain Standard (105th); Pacific Standard (120th). Each zone time was set one hour apart.” Dowd slowly built support for his plan from academics. But the fractured railroad industry, with hundreds of companies competing for traffic and dollars, proved harder to harness. PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES: BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS A HUB OF TRANSPORTATION WOES He found an influential ally in William F. Allen, a railroad engineer and editor of the “Traveler’s Official Railway Guide.” “With his helpful modifications — and Dowd’s continual work — Allen convinced railroad officials to adopt (time zones),” the Madison Historical Society explains.  “On November 18, 1883, Allen was on hand at the Western Union Telegraph System building in New York City to witness the plan’s implementation. Room 148 contained the company’s regulator clock. At 9 a.m., the clock was stopped for precisely three minutes and 58:38 seconds. The clock was then restarted, and Eastern Standard Time was born.” The concept of time zones quickly spread around the world. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER “The following year a conference was held in New York City to determine the location of the prime meridian, which refers to zero degrees longitude,” reports the website of California cartographer GeoJango Maps.  “It was decided that Greenwich, England, would act as the Earth’s prime meridian and that the 24 time zones would be based off … this location.” The four continental North American time zones used today — Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific — look substantially similar to those envisioned by Dowd in the 1870s.  The time zone concept, as clean as it may appear, creates chaos in one isolated Pacific Ocean island nation. Kiribati sprawls across about 1.4 million square miles of ocean. The World War II Battle of Tarawa, pitting United States Marines against entrenched Japanese defenders, took place in what’s now Kiribati. The nation straddles both the International Date Line and the equator. So it can be Friday and Saturday in Kiribati — and both summer and winter — all at the same time. The nation created its own unilateral time zones, bucking the international standard, on Dec. 31, 1994, to solve the problem. “These rarest of time zones were established by Kiribati,” writes watchmaker TAG Heuer, “for the purpose of removing certain absurdities from the daily lives of its citizens.” “Today, the U.S Department of Transportation oversees the nation’s time zones and the uniform observance of Daylight Saving Time,” writes Union Pacific, “including exercising the authority that allows a state to change its official time zone.” For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyle.

“Real Time” host Bill Maher connected the dots between the Democrats’ abrupt clean-up of San Francisco ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit and former President Donald Trump’s potential election victory in 2024. This week, San Francisco hosted the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) conference where world leaders and business giants hobnobbed and President Biden had a one-on-one meeting with Xi. But after years of deterioration in the Golden City, most notably the homelessness plaguing its streets, Democrats on a local and state level rolled out the red carpet for the Chinese leader by clearing the sidewalks. BILL MAHER SCOLDS OBAMA’S ‘MORAL EQUIVALENCY’ ON ISRAEL-HAMAS: HE ‘DISAPPOINTED ME’ “I want to try a theory out on you why Trump is killing it — not just within the party, but he’s beating Biden heavily too,” Maher kicked off the panel discussion on Friday. “Because Xi, President Xi of China, came to our state this week and met with Biden up in San Francisco, and they had a little summit.” “And they did something very interesting in San Francisco. I mean, I have done many, many jokes as many comedians have about stepping and poop in San Francisco and, you know, it’s a city that needs to be put under control — so they did! Because Xi was coming! Put aside the fact that you only clean up with company coming over?” Maher quipped. “OK, so they cleaned it up, they rinse off the street, the homeless, you know, God forbid the guy who sends us the fentanyl sees somebody on fentanyl.” “This, to me, is why Trump is winning, because he talks about, ‘I’m going to open up the mental hospitals.’ Again, I’m not saying these are necessarily a good solution,” Maher continued. “When he talks, ‘I’m gonna put people in camps, the immigrants,’ all this kind of stuff, and people just see a place — a country, especially in the cities that look out-of-control. And the fact that the Democrats could control it for three days, how about making it permanent?” BILL MAHER PUMMELS LEFTWING ANTISEMITISM AMID ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR: ‘YOU’RE THE ONES WITH THE TIKI TORCHES NOW!’ Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has received a ton of presidential buzz as an alternative to the embattled Biden, admitted the only reason why public officials waited until APEC to clean up San Francisco was to impress world leaders like Xi.  “I know folks are saying, ‘Oh, they’re just cleaning up this place because all those fancy leaders are coming to town.’ That’s true, because it’s true,” Newsom said during a press conference last week, which received intense backlash on social media.  MAHER HITS NEWSOM, WHITMER FOR RUNNING ‘SHADOW’ 2024 CAMPAIGNS, CREDITS DEAN PHILLIPS FOR CHALLENGING BIDEN The liberal comedian has been sounding the alarm that Trump will win the presidency in 2024, repeatedly urging Biden, whose 81st birthday is Nov. 20, to step aside and allow a more youthful Democrat to take the baton. He’s been comparing Biden to the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who famously refused to step down during the Obama presidency and was later replaced by Trump appointee Justice Amy Coney Barrett, declaring the aging incumbent “Ruth Bader Biden.” For more Culture, Media, Education, Opinion and channel coverage, visit foxnews.com/media.

Just three days after being benched in the second half, Angel Reese was not with LSU during their win over Southeastern Louisiana on Friday. Reese did not play the final 20 minutes of the reigning champs’ game against Kent State, which was a 109-79 victory. She had 11 points and five rebounds in 13 minutes. Head coach Kim Mulkey characterized Tuesday’s move as a “coach’s decision” and did not elaborate, and after Friday’s game, she remained bleak on the subject. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM “Angel was not in uniform. Angel is a part of this basketball team, and we hope she’s back with the team soon. I’m not gonna answer any more than that,” she said. Reese had started LSU’s first four games, during which the Tigers went 3-1, and averaged 17 points and 10.3 rebounds during those games. OutKick reported earlier this week that there was a possibility that Reese had been suspended, but LSU has not said so. OutKick contacted Reese’s agent Jeanine Ogbonnaya, so said she didn’t “have much information.” Mothers of members on the team have recently feuded, including Reese’s and Flau’jae Johnson’s. ANGEL REESE MAY HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED AFTER BENCHING, AND SOCIAL MEDIA DRAMA Reese’s mother, Angel Webb Reese, criticized Johnson for poor word usage on Instagram. “You definitely know about grammar errors when your daughter got a 2.0-or-less grade point average,” Johnson’s mother, Kia Brooks, responded. “Stop being petty, fake and hateful, and take responsibility for you and your daughter’s actions.” Reese, nicknamed the “Bayou Barbie” and known for her eyelash extensions and pink finger nails, led LSU to its first national title in women’s basketball last season. She also has parlayed her popularity into name, image, and likeness endorsements valued at more than $1 million, making her one of the top-earning female college athletes.  The junior garnered criticism when she pointed to her ring finger and did the “you can’t see me” celebration in front of Iowa’s Caitlin Clark in the closing seconds of the national title game. Clark previously did the taunt and said she had no issues with what Reese did. Reese led the Southeastern Conference in both scoring (23 points per game) and rebounding (15.4 per game) last season, becoming just the fourth player to lead the league in both categories. Her 34 double-doubles that season set an NCAA record and her 23 consecutive double-doubles to begin last season broke Sylvia Fowles’ previous LSU record of 19.
