Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., are both calling for the destruction of Iran’s nuclear program.”I don’t think diplomacy works,” Graham declared during an interview on “Face the Nation,” calling Iran a “religious Nazi regime,” that wants “to destroy the Jewish State.” “I am hoping there will be an effort by Israel to decimate the Iran nuclear program, supported by the United States. And if we don’t do that it will be a historical mistake,” Graham said.LINDSEY GRAHAM DEFENDS KASH PATEL IN HEATED EXCHANGE WITH CBS HOSTFetterman agreed with Graham’s call for the decimation of Iran’s nuclear program.”One Hundred Percent,” the Democratic lawmaker declared in a post on X.Graham responded, “Spot on, @SenFettermanPA.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Ohio State Buckeyes meet in the college football national championship on Monday night, and only one team could be the winner.It will mark the end of the first-ever expanded College Football Playoff. Neither team came into the tournament favored, and each team had to scratch and claw their way to get to the championship game. It will certainly be a scrap at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, but some of the top talent from each team has expressed at least one common thing to bring them together: their faith.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMNotre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard, Ohio State quarterback Will Howard, running back TreVeyon Henderson and wide receiver Emeka Egbuka have all talked about their belief in God in the days leading up to the game.”I truly think things happen for a reason, not only us, but Ohio State as well. I think we’re the two main teams to just publicly display our faith the most,” he told reporters last week, per Sports Michiana. “I don’t know if this is some divine teaching, you know, who put us here. “I truly believe that Jesus was looking over both our shoulders throughout the [whole] season and put these two teams on a pedestal for a reason.”Howard talked about his belief in God after the team’s upset win over Oregon in the Rose Bowl.”First and foremost, I got to thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for giving me this opportunity to be on this stage in the Rose Bowl,” Howard told ESPN. “Younger me would be in awe right now.”Egbuka talked to Sports Spectrum during the season about how faith affected his performance on the field.”I would say for the past couple years we’ve kinda been – there’s kind of been a number of players on the football team who have restored their faith in Jesus Christ. And that was something that was big for me my freshman year,” the star receiver told the outlet in November. Egbuka, a graduate student, recalled in his interview the turning point for him. He was invited to attend Mass by his fellow teammates and said it was the first time he had felt a true connection to his faith. COLLEGE FOOTBALL STAR ASHTON JEANTY TALKS POSSIBILITY OF DEION SANDERS COACHING COWBOYS”Ever since then, my life has been changed. A complete 180, and I have a similar testimony to a lot of players on the team. We’ve been praying for a type of revival like this on our team, and we decided to share with everybody what God has been doing on our football team.” Egbuka said he opted against going into the NFL Draft last season because he felt a calling that was “bigger” than football.Henderson told the outlet in a separate interview that despite his standout rookie season, which included success and NIL deals, he had turned to his faith after an injury. “He saved my life from going down that road of destruction. He saved me. He put me on this path of everlasting life … you see so many people go down that large path of destruction, but I’m so thankful that Jesus, He rescued me from that path and put me on His path.”Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman reinstated pregame Mass when he took over for Brian Kelly in 2021. He was baptized into the Catholic Church in and received his first Holy Communion in September 2022.Freeman credited Notre Dame for encouraging the student body to grow their faith.”It’s not only in Catholicism. It’s the reality of you having a faith and a belief in something bigger than yourself,” he said.Come Monday night, each team will have a prayer and then lock in for the final 60 minutes of their season.Fox News’ Paulina Dedaj, Chantz Martin and Peter Burke contributed to this report.

Eating breakfast regularly has been shown to help reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity, according to UC Davis Health. There is also evidence that eating a healthy breakfast helps with brain function, especially memory and focus, the University of California-operated health provider said. Now, new research has revealed that oatmeal can promote longevity. Fox News Digital spoke with two health experts about the claims.’I’M A HEART SURGEON, HERE’S WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT EGGS, YOUR HEART AND YOUR HEALTH’Included in the test group of a recent study by the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine was a 105-year-old woman. One step in her normal daily routine was eating oatmeal, according to Dr. Mike Sevilla, a family physician at Salem Family Care in Salem, Ohio. (He was not associated with the recent study.) “I also remember a study from about 10 years ago from the Journal of the American Medical Association in which the participants included oatmeal in their diet,” the doctor said. “And the study revealed a decrease in premature death in those who regularly ate oatmeal.” Other studies about the health effects of oatmeal show it can lead to lower cholesterol levels and an improvement in blood sugar levels, which may decrease the chance of heart disease and diabetes, Sevilla also said.Oatmeal is easy to prepare, inexpensive and customizable to personal tastes; people can add such ingredients as fruit, nuts, seeds, nut butters and spices. THIS POPULAR SODA IS CHEF’S SURPRISING BISCUIT INGREDIENT: ‘FAMILY FAVORITE’Here are four health benefits that oatmeal offers.These health benefits usually decrease the chance of developing heart disease and diabetes, Sevilla said. “We believe the mechanisms for this are decreasing the absorption of cholesterol into the body and having better control of insulin in the system, which influences blood sugar levels in the body,” he explained.The comforting breakfast favorite can help ward off colds and winter health woes.AT-HOME ‘MEDICINE BALL’ TEA, SOOTHING AND WARM, COULD HELP KICK A COLD”This is because minerals like selenium and copper strengthen white blood cells – a type of cell that fights illness and infection,” according to Health Reporter, a medical information website.Oatmeal ingredients can also improve immune responses and can “combat pathogens, remove foreign substances, fight unwanted bacteria and prevent long-term diseases,” according to Health Reporter.Not only is oatmeal a go-to breakfast that’s satisfying and filling, the digestive benefits can also help the gut. Oatmeal is a fantastic source of soluble fiber, Brittany Kingry, a registered dietitian who is director of dietetics for CoreLife Novant Health in Charlotte, North Carolina, told Fox News Digital.”Oatmeal contains beta-glucans, which are a form of soluble fiber that dissolves in water and turns into a thick gel-like substance in your gut,” she said. “This will help slow your digestion, increase good bacteria growth in the gut and assist with reduced blood glucose response as well as insulin response times.”You can start your day feeling like a nutrition winner. “Oatmeal is incredibly nutrient dense, full of multiple vitamins and minerals such as iron, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, folate and B vitamins, to name a few,” Kingry said.Although oatmeal is a beneficial breakfast pick that boasts nutritional advantages, too much of it can have a few drawbacks, said experts. BAGELS, A GO-TO BREAKFAST, CAN BE MADE HEALTHIER BY CHOOSING THESE VARIETIES AND SPREADS, EXPERTS SAY”While oatmeal has wonderful benefits and is full of fiber, we have to be cautious of how much and what type of oatmeal we are incorporating into our diets,” Kingry cautioned. Here’s what to know.For a better balance of food groups, Kingry recommended adding some protein to your breakfast menu. “We need to ensure that we are not eating it by itself but pairing it with protein to help with stabilizing blood sugar,” Kingry told Fox News Digital. “You can do this by adding nuts, protein powder (make sure to add extra water or it will become grainy) or nut butter into the oatmeal or simply by adding a lean breakfast meat on the side.”If a person has diabetes or insulin resistance, oatmeal may not be the best option because of the high carbohydrate amount, Kingry said. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER”They may benefit more from a protein-centered diet first thing in the morning and having ½ cup oatmeal on the side if desired,” she said. Purchasing oatmeal in the grocery store can be tricky, Kingry said. Beware those options with “added sugars or sugar alternatives,” she said. “It is always suggested to purchase plain rolled oats to help with limiting the sugar content.” For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyleAnother thing to note, Kingry said, is that while oats are naturally gluten-free, some oats can become contaminated during processing or handling. Instead, individuals “looking for gluten-free options should pay attention to labeling for brands that are certified gluten-free.”Kingry recommended sticking to the serving size (1 packet or ½ cup uncooked) that’s outlined on the label of the oatmeal that’s purchased.”It’s very easy to overconsume,” she cautioned.

The mother of a Maryland woman killed in a brutal running trail attack – allegedly at the hands of an illegal immigrant whose other suspected crimes took place on multiple continents and in multiple states – will attend President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration Monday after she says the tragedy led to an unlikely friendship with the returning commander-in-chief.”It has been a surreal experience over the past year and a half. Losing my daughter in such a gruesome and unexpected way, the wait and fear of ‘if’ a suspect would ever be caught, the international attention Rachel’s case has garnered, culminating in Congressional hearings and a friendship with President Trump,” Patty Morin told Fox News Digital. Her 37-year-old daughter, Rachel Morin, was reported missing in August 2023 after failing to return from her daily jog. Rachel, a mother of five herself, was later found with savage injuries, stuffed into a culvert near the trail.ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT SUSPECTED IN RACHEL MORIN MURDER ENTERED US AS GOTAWAY AFTER BEING RELEASED 3 TIMES: ICEIt took an interstate law enforcement effort to identify and capture the suspect, Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, 23, a border “gotaway” accused in a spate of violent crimes targeting women.He was wanted for another woman’s murder in his native El Salvador and is accused of breaking into a California house and raping a woman and her nine-year-old daughter there. REP NADLER PICTURED WITH HEAD DOWN, EYES CLOSED DURING TESTIMONY FROM MOTHERS OF MIGRANT CRIME VICTIMS”I would never had imagine life taking such a turn. And now a new Trump administration is on the horizon with hope renewed for safety and security for our families and nation…who could have thought that Rachel’s story, her life, would help to change our country, bring us back to foundational truths and common sense. Looking forward with anticipation what the next four years will hold,” Morin said.She has been to the Capitol a number of times over the past year, testifying before Congress and pleading for a crackdown on migrant crime.RACHEL MORIN MURDER: OPEN BORDER ‘ALLOWED’ ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT TO KILL MOM OF 5, MARYLAND SHERIFF SAYSEarlier this month, some of those efforts paid off with the passage of the Laken Riley Act, named for another young woman whose suspected killer was an illegal immigrant. Like Rachel Morin, Georgia nursing student Riley was attacked by a stranger while jogging.”By amending Federal law as stated in the Laken Riley Act, it provides stronger provisions for apprehending criminal illegal immigrants and provides injunctive relief for states and citizens who have suffered under the Biden-Harris open border disaster,” Morin said. “I am very encouraged that Congress is finally taking measures to protect American families and to ensure safer communities.””It was a slap in the face of the American citizens who lost loved ones when 159 Democrats chose to protect criminal illegal immigrants instead of the American citizens they were elected to protect. Shameful!” she added.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, has ordered flags in the state to fly at full-staff on Monday for the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump as the nation remains in a mourning period to honor former President Jimmy Carter.”Tomorrow, we are all Americans as we observe the centuries-old traditions of Inauguration Day,” Hochul said in a statement to the New York Post on Sunday.”For that reason, I am directing flags to fly at full staff throughout the State of New York on January 20 and return to half staff to honor the late President Carter on January 21,” she added. “Regardless of your political views, the American tradition of the peaceful transition of power is something to celebrate.”The governor’s directive comes during President Biden’s order that flags at all government and public buildings and grounds across the country fly at half-staff for a 30-day mourning period following Carter’s death on Dec. 29, 2024, which happens to include Inauguration Day.YOUNGKIN ORDERS FLAGS TO BE RAISED FOR TRUMP’S INAUGURATION AMID MOURNING PERIOD FOR JIMMY CARTER’S DEATHBiden said the U.S. flag “should be displayed at half-staff at the White House and on all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions.”It is a tradition when a former president dies to order a 30-day mourning period and for flags to be displayed at half-staff.Hochul joins a trio of Democratic governors — California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis and Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson — in ordering flags to fly at full-staff for Trump’s inauguration before the mourning period ends on Jan. 28.WASHINGTON GOVERNOR ORDERS FLAGS AT FULL-STAFF FOR TRUMP INAUGURATION DESPITE MOURNING PERIOD FOR JIMMY CARTERSeveral Republican governors have also directed flags to be raised on Monday, including Idaho Gov. Brad Little, North Dakota Gov. Kelly Armstrong, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin.Nearly 30 states will raise their flags on Monday for Trump’s inauguration, as will flags at the U.S. Capitol following an order from House Speaker Mike Johnson.Trump had publicly taken issue with the idea that flags could be displayed at half-staff for his inauguration following Carter’s death.”The Democrats are all ‘giddy’ about our magnificent American Flag potentially being at ‘half mast’ during my Inauguration,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Jan. 3. “They think it’s so great, and are so happy about it because, in actuality, they don’t love our Country, they only think about themselves.””Look at what they’ve done to our once GREAT America over the past four years – It’s a total mess! In any event, because of the death of President Jimmy Carter, the Flag may, for the first time ever during an Inauguration of a future President, be at half mast,” he continued. “Nobody wants to see this, and no American can be happy about it. Let’s see how it plays out. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”Flags were flown at half-staff when former President Nixon was sworn-in for his second term in 1973 after Nixon ordered the flags to be lowered following the death of former President Truman.

Ron DeSantis and several other local and state officials during the press conference held Winter Haven to discuss actions to combat illegal immigration.Judd said a crackdown on illegal immigration would help reduce crime.FLORIDA PROPOSAL WOULD BAR ILLEGAL MIGRANTS IN THE US FROM ATTENDING SOME COLLEGES”Florida needs to set the example for the other states and support the president [Trump] to get rid of these criminals who are victimizing our people,” Judd said. During the press conference, Judd also shared several specific examples of crimes involving illegal immigrants, including cases of murder, DUI manslaughter and organized theft rings.DeSantis echoed Judd and said he was confident that the second Trump administration would take swift action against the outgoing Biden administration’s immigration policy.FLORIDA SHERIFF TO CONGRESS AFTER ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS NABBED IN HUMAN TRAFFICKING PROBE: ‘SHAME ON ALL OF THEM'”We in Florida have a sense of urgency to accomplish this mission,” DeSantis said. “The mission is very simple: We need to end the illegal immigration crisis once and for all in these United States of America.”Florida sued the Biden administration on several different occasions, including over its “illegal” catch-and-release policies at the southern border and, most recently, its alleged refusal to help the state purge noncitizens from voter rolls in the 2024 election. FLORIDA HUMAN TRAFFICKING STING NABS 157 PEOPLE, INCLUDING 25 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTSDeSantis scheduled a special session to begin the week after Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration to fund efforts to address illegal immigration, including detention and relocation. The governor has said the state must work to support Trump’s promises to tackle illegal immigration and ensure that “we don’t have any lingering incentives for people to come into our state illegally.”CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPIn a post on Truth Social on Tuesday, Trump thanked DeSantis for calling a special session, saying “hopefully other Governors will follow!”Fox News Digital’s Landon Mion contributed to this report.

Travelers arriving in Music City may soon be greeted by Trump International Airport.On Friday, Tennessee Republican State Rep. Todd Warner filed House Bill 217, which would rename Nashville International Airport to honor Trump.The bill would require the metropolitan airport authority to take actions to execute the name change.Those actions would include setting up new signage, changing registered trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), revising all existing contracts and legal documents to reflect the new name, and updating references with local, state and federal agencies.HOUSE REPUBLICANS PUSH TO RENAME DC INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AFTER TRUMPDuring the transition period, the bill states that the airport may operate business using its current name with the designation of “doing business as Trump International Airport” or “d/b/a Trump International Airport.”If passed, the bill would take effect on Jan. 1, 2026.This is not the first time a lawmaker has pushed to rename an airport after Trump.TRUMP ‘EMBODIES WHAT BEING AN AMERICAN IS ALL ABOUT,’ UFC’S DANA WHITE SAYSBack in April 2024, a group of House Republicans also pushed to rename Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia after Trump.Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa., the House GOP’s chief deputy whip, introduced the bill, along with six cosponsors. “In my lifetime, our nation has never been greater than under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump,” Reschenthaler previously told Fox News Digital. “As millions of domestic and international travelers fly through the airport, there is no better symbol of freedom, prosperity and strength than hearing ‘Welcome to Trump International Airport’ as they land on American soil.”If passed, it would be the second D.C.-area airport named for a Republican commander in chief after Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Arlington, Virginia.TRUMP SET TO PROCLAIM AMERICA’S COMEBACK IN SECOND INAUGURAL ADDRESS: ‘ENTERING A GOLDEN AGE’Rep. Barry Moore, R-Ala., previously told Fox News Digital that “it is only fitting that we would do the same for another one of our greatest presidents.”Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., also echoed Moore and said “I can see no more fitting recognition than naming both airports in our nation’s capital after America’s two best presidents: DCA after President Reagan and Dulles after President Trump.”Fox News Digital’s Elizabeth Elkind contributed to this report.

Millions of people across the country are expected to tune in to President-elect Trump’s second inauguration ceremony. Television networks, online publications and social media outlets are preparing for the big event. The way inaugurations have been presented to the public has changed drastically over the years.”We must think big and dream even bigger,” Trump said during his first inaugural address in 2017.Tens of millions of people watched his first address in real time – both on television and through online streaming. But inaugural addresses and analysis of the speeches were not always available immediately. In 1789, when George Washington was sworn in for the first time, his speech was not available to the public until several days later.TRUMP NAMES LATEST CABINET PICKS AS JAN. 20 INAUGURATION NEARSThomas Jefferson became the first president to have his inauguration speech printed in a newspaper the same day he gave his address in 1801. The National Intelligencer printed the speech on the morning of Jefferson’s inauguration.James Polk was the first president to have his address reported by telegraph. It was also the first time a speech was shown in a newspaper illustration, by the Illustrated London News.Drawings were the main visual for inaugurations for another 12 years, until photography became more frequently used. James Buchanan was the first president to have a photograph taken at his swearing-in. Another 40 years later, video was used to record inaugurations for the public.William McKinley was the first president to appear on a movie camera during his inaugural address in 1901. Only silent films were available then, but that would change over the years as inaugural addresses began to incorporate audio.In 1921, Warren Harding was the first to use loudspeakers to address the crowd attending his inauguration in person. Four years later, Calvin Coolidge was the first to have his inaugural broadcast nationally by radio. The White House Historical Association estimates his 1925 address reached more than 23 million radio listeners. Herbert Hoover gave the first multimedia inaugural. His 1929 address was the first recorded on a talking newsreel.”It is a dedication and consecration under God to the highest office in service of our people,” Hoover said during his address.After World War II, an increasing number of Americans bought television sets for their homes. By 1949, almost all major cities had at least one local television station, and 4.2 million American homes had TV sets. Harry Truman became the first president to have his inauguration broadcast live that year. More than a decade later, John F. Kennedy had his address broadcast in color for the estimated 500,000 Americans who had color television sets.”Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country,” Kennedy famously said during his inauguration speech.Ronald Reagan sought to bring the pageantry of inauguration events to Americans across the country. His inaugural committee hosted around 100 satellite inaugural balls that were broadcast in 32 cities.”Almost 200 years ago, at the first inaugural, people came by stagecoach. This time, people all over America, millions of people, are attending this one by satellite,” Reagan said during a ball at the Washington Hilton Hotel.More than a decade later, Bill Clinton’s second inauguration in 1997 was available on the internet via livestream. Clinton had signed the Telecommunications Act of 1996 just a year before at the Library of Congress.”Ten years ago, the internet was the mystical province of physicists; today, it is a commonplace encyclopedia for millions of schoolchildren,” Clinton said during his inaugural address. “As we look back at this remarkable century, we may ask, ‘Can we hope not just to follow, but even to surpass the achievements of the 20th century in America?'”With the growth of the internet, social media use also expanded.”We have always understood that when times change, so must we,” Barack Obama said at his second inaugural address in 2013.Obama was the first president to join Twitter. His 2013 address generated more than 1 million tweets. According to Pew Research, around 51% of Americans owned a smartphone at the time. When Trump was sworn into office in 2017, that percentage rose to 77%. Cellphone carriers installed extracellular antennas ahead of the address for the massive crowd that would be sharing photos and videos from the day’s events on social media.When Joe Biden gave his address in 2021, his inaugural committee relied on technology for nearly every aspect of the event. The coronavirus pandemic forced much of Biden’s festivities to move online.”The world is watching all of us today. So, here is my message to those beyond our borders: America has been tested, and we have come out stronger for it,” Biden said during his address.

It’s been nearly three years since “Dancing with the Stars” pro Lindsay Arnold announced her exit, and she hasn’t regretted it one bit. In a new interview, the professional dancer who starred in the dance competition series for 10 seasons, opened up about her decision to leave the show at the height of finding mega fame and success. “A lot of my priorities and where I wanted to spend my time … it just shifted,” she told People magazine. “My mindset shifted. Time goes 10 times faster when you have kids, and I just know that this time is so precious and something that you don’t get back.” ‘DANCING WITH THE STARS’ PRO LINDSAY ARNOLD ANNOUNCES SHE’S LEAVING THE SHOW: ‘WE EXHAUSTED EVERY OPTION'”I did want to have a sense of accomplishment within the show knowing that, ‘OK, if we do have kids and I don’t come back, do I feel like I fulfilled what I hope to do?’ I did feel like I was at that point. We honestly were probably past the point of being ready. We were like, ‘OK, we really want this now,’ and I’m glad we waited for that time because it felt so right for us.” Arnold, who shares two daughters, Sage, 4, and June, almost 2, with husband Samuel Cusick, said the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles never appealed to her. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER”To be honest, I actually never, ever loved or embraced Hollywood in a sense of where I’d want to live,” she said. “Loved everything about what it offered to me, what it did for my career, what I was able to do out there, but I was actually always the pro that, in between seasons, [who] would sneak back to Utah to be with my family. This has always been where I know I want to raise my family.” “Growing up in Utah, the city life was never for me,” she added. “But like I said, I know that my life would not be where it is without that time, and so I am so grateful.” These days, Arnold continues to gain traction on social media, from her workout tutorials to her lifestyle vlogs.  LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?

This is where we’re going.’ I just knew I wanted to do things that were authentic to me, but that can be really scary because you just don’t know how that will be received,” she said of becoming an influencer. “At the time, I had a social media following for people who only watched me and followed me because of ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ That was scary, because I’m like, are they just going to hate me if I’m like, ‘Sorry, guys, I’m not doing it anymore. I’m going to be a mom’? Maybe people hate moms. But it’s been so cool because every step of the way, by just truly being myself, sharing what I’m doing, it’s naturally evolved my career and my engagement, my community in the most perfect way.” While Arnold said she still misses the show, she doesn’t regret her decision to leave. “There are so many things I miss about the show,” she said. “I miss all my friends on the show. The community, the family, it is real. The second my sister hops onto the show, they’re treating her like a little sister because it’s family.” “What I don’t miss is it is a full-on time commitment. If you want to be good at your job, if you want to do well, it’s a 24/7 job,” she continued. “And when you’re a mom, that’s a 24/7 job, so that battle is really difficult.””It’s felt like a very natural progression for me, which I’m grateful for because, of course, there was always those moments when I did choose to step away that first season of like, ‘Am I going to regret this?’” she said. “I’m really grateful to say that I haven’t. I haven’t regretted my decisions one step of the way,” she added.

On the eve of President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, a multi-million dollar network of socialist and Islamist organizations scaled back its plans for a massive citywide “resistance,” retreating to a quiet park in a corner of Washington, D.C., called Meridian Hill. They now predict a crowd of 2,000, a far cry from the 50,000 originally planned for the National Mall, Washington Monument and Constitution Avenue NW.But the network of well-funded organizations, which I call the Woke Army, is pressing ahead with protests in 84 cities, rebranded in emails sent Sunday afternoon to supporters with the message, “STAND WITH THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE. WE FIGHT BACK,” following Israel’s ceasefire with Hamas. In the nation’s capital, the ANSWER Coalition, a self-declared Marxist organization based in D.C., secured a permit, which I obtained, for the smaller Meridian Hill protest after withdrawing its application for the larger citywide demonstration.THE PROFESSIONAL PROTEST MACHINE BEHIND THE ANTI-TRUMP ‘PEOPLE’S MARCH’Despite media portrayals of these protests as grassroots movements, they are anything but. The ANSWER Coalition’s operations are highly coordinated and funded by professional activism networks, much like Saturday’s “People’s March,” which my reporting revealed was organized by a for-profit professional protest logistics company, Movement Catalyst LLC, which executes events with military precision.These professional organizers create a polished veneer of “grassroots” spontaneity for protests that are, in reality, meticulously engineered political theater and not grassroots but rather AstroTurf. They churned out near identical emails around 4 p.m. on Sunday, summoning followers to their Monday protests.For years now, I’ve been tracking these organizations as part of my reporting for the Pearl Project, a nonprofit journalism initiative named for Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, who was murdered in Karachi, Pakistan, in 2002 in the name of identity politics and sectarianism. Democracy thrives on transparency, and the public deserves to know when protests are driven by ideological agendas masquerading as grassroots movements.Members of the Party for Socialism and Liberation created the ANSWER Coalition, short for “Act Now to Stop War and End Racism,” after 9/11. It has consistently championed authoritarian regimes, including socialist governments in Russia, China, Venezuela, North Korea, and Cuba. Brian Becker, the ANSWER Coalition leader who got the permit for the Meridian Hill protest, is a vocal proponent of Marxism and socialism.The organization’s history includes inflammatory anti-American incidents, such as a protest this past summer against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, where Zaid Mohammed Mahdawi, president of the Richmond chapter of American Muslims for Palestine, spray-painted “HAMAS IS COMIN” on a statue at Union Station. The National Park Service pulled ANSWER Coalition’s permit after the protest turned violent, with demonstrators burning U.S. flags and clashing with police.Michael Litterst, a spokesman for the U.S. National Park Service, told me today that the ANSWER Coalition “canceled” its application for the citywide protest. He directed questions to the ANSWER Coalition about why it canceled its application. The ANSWER Coalition didn’t respond to a request for comment.The permit reveals the intricate planning behind this supposed protest that the media will likely cast as spontaneous:The equipment list reveals the professionalism behind these protests: one stage, 20 tables, 40 chairs, 200 handheld signs, banners, a sound system, podium, and propaganda materials, including literature and bumper stickers. The ANSWER Coalition permit said it plans to bring an “opaque secure bucket for collecting donations.”The Park Service permit reminded organizers in bold text: “It is prohibited to climb, remove, or in any way injure any statue, seat, wall, fountain, light poles, elevator towers, or other architectural feature” within the park.The ANSWER Coalition’s history raises questions about its ability to maintain order. But Litterest, the U.S. National Park Service spokesman, told me: “DC courts have previously indicated that denial of or limitations on permits for First Amendment demonstrations based on contemplated acts of violence are appropriate only when and where the threat is real, substantial and beyond the reasonable control of law enforcement.”Last week, on a website created just days after Trump’s election, protest organizers said they had about 50 “endorsing” groups. Now, that number has increased to 205 groups, and it’s clear from the names on the growing list that their origins are far from grassroots. I’ve added the new names to a public Pearl Project public database, and, according to my new analysis, 58 of the groups are self-described socialist organizations, 25 are Islamist, Muslim, Arab or Palestinian, and the remaining 122 are socialist and Islamist adjacent. They consistently seek to destroy Israel as a state.The “red” in tomorrow’s alliance includes well-funded protesters: the ANSWER Coalition; Code Pink, an anti-Israel group funded by Neville Roy Singham, a Shanghai-based American billionaire tied to China’s Communist Party, according to the New York Times; the Party for Socialism and Liberation, advocating for dismantling capitalism and aligning the U.S. with socialist regimes; the People’s Forum, a socialist group that serves as a proxy for Singham’s pro-China agenda, as also documented by The New York Times; and Democratic Socialists of America, the largest socialist organization in the U.S.It also now includes the “Project for a Revolutionary Marxist International.”CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThe “green” of this axis includes: Students for Justice in Palestine, founded by University of California at Berkeley academic Hatem Bazian, and now fomenting many of the anti-Jew campus protests, banned now on many campuses; Palestinian Feminist Collective, committed to “Palestinian liberation & beyond”; Palestinian Youth Movement, dedicated to a “strategy of mobilization, agitation and confrontation”; the U.S. Palestinian Community Network, which organized days of protests in Chicago to disrupt the Democratic Party’s convention; and the Muslim American Society, which created a “Survive Pack” with a resource from the Council on American-Islamic Relations, whose co-founder, Nihad Awad, said he was “happy” about the Oct. 7 incursions by Hamas into Israel.The ANSWER Coalition’s stated purpose for the protest in Washington is to “present a popular resistance to the Trump Administration,” but its true agenda is more insidious: dismantling American democracy and promoting authoritarian socialist ideologies. From Beijing to Caracas, the ANSWER Coalition and its Woke Army allies draw inspiration from regimes, like Hamas, that suppress dissent and curtail freedoms.As the Woke Army marches from Meridian Hill Park to Black Lives Matter Plaza, it’s crucial for Americans to remain vigilant. Behind the banners and bullhorns lies a well-funded operation intent on reshaping the narrative of grassroots resistance into one that serves its own ideological goals. Understanding these forces is the first step toward safeguarding democracy.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FROM ASRA NOMANI

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, on Sunday, doubled down on his vow to oppose President-elect Trump’s sweeping reform aimed at removing dangerous illegal immigrants accused of crimes from the U.S. once he returns to the Oval Office on Monday.In preparation for a change in federal administration, the mayor’s office has assured the city would continue to comply with the 2017 Illinois Trust Act, which prohibits local law enforcement from participating in federal immigration enforcement.On Sunday, his opposition continued to ring loud and clear.”Chicago stands strong: regardless of the circumstances, our commitment to protecting and supporting this city remains unwavering,” Johnson wrote in a social media post. “We will continue to fight for the justice and safety of all who call this place home.”CHICAGO OFFICIAL SLAMS BRANDON JOHNSON’S NEW ICE GUIDELINES: ‘WHO IS THE MAYOR TRYING TO PROTECT’The mayor also shared comments he made back in November, after Trump won the election.In a nearly minute and ten second clip, Johnson said he and other city officials were going to defend the people of Chicago, telling those in attendance Trump’s threats are not just toward new arrivals and undocumented families, but also Black families.He also accused Trump of wanting to destroy public education and “leveling opportunities for families who are descendants of slaves.”CHICAGO FAITH LEADERS BRACE FOR MASS DEPORTATIONS, CEASE HOSTING IN-PERSON SPANISH SERVICES: REPORT”We’re going to stand up, and we’re going to protect undocumented individuals,” Johnson said. “We’re going to protect Black folks, brown folks, Asian folks… Listen, the anti-sentiment that exists in this political space is unconscionable and it’s dangerous.”Whether it’s anti-Black or antisemitic, we’re going to protect people, and we’re going to invest in people,” Johnson continued. “The city of Chicago will be better, stronger and safer despite who’s in the White House.”Johnson’s office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment on the matter.CHICAGO RESIDENTS SLAM THE ‘STUPIDITY’ OF MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON’S LIBERAL POLICIES DURING CITY COUNCIL MEETINGEarlier this month, Johnson released guidelines for how to handle visits from U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), should officials from the agency enter city property.Johnson’s guidelines advise, “Contact your agency or department’s designated attorney or general counsel for further guidance. Contact the highest ranking official or designated supervisor onsite and do not take any action until that person arrives.” TRUMP SUPPORTERS RIP CHICAGO MAYOR TO HIS FACE JUST DAYS BEFORE CITY COUNCIL REJECTS HIS TAX HIKEThe guidance says to demand copies of warrants, not to consent to ICE entering “any private or ‘sensitive’ locations,” but not to interfere with any search, even if refused. There are further recommendations, including taking notes and keeping contemporaneous written records.Tens of thousands of illegal immigrants are residing in Chicago, despite residents pleading with city officials about how there are not enough resources to provide for them. More than 20,000 migrants have arrived in the city since August 2022, according to previous reports from Fox 32 Chicago, and thousands are in shelters.Sheltering migrants has drawn ire from residents after it has reportedly cost the city $574.5 million since August 2022. At a previous city council meeting on December 3rd, residents objected to an approximately $60 million property tax increase that was proposed to help officials overcome a $1 billion budget shortfall by the end of last year.Fox News Digital’s Joshua Q. Nelson contributed to this report.
