Kareem Jackson has been penalized multiple times this season for hits the NFL has ruled to be illegal. He has accumulated $90,000 in fines this year alone and was suspended multiple games. The combination of missing games and financial setbacks has appeared to motivate the Denver Broncos defensive back to reevaluate how he plays the game. Jackson is committed to aiming lower when he is close to making contact with pass catchers. “For me as a player, as an instinctive player, I’m going to always be in those situations,” Jackson said. “Because my preparation and my instincts are going to put me in those situations.” CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Jackson returned to the team this week and was present for practice. He could return to the starting lineup for Sunday night’s matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. Broncos safety P.J. Locke is expected to miss the game due to an ankle injury. NFL CUTS BRONCOS SAFETY KAREEM JACKSON’S BAN TO 2 GAMES FOLLOWING APPEAL Jackson said he has attempted to get some clarity from the NFL on his hits but still feels puzzled. “A lot of gray area when it comes to the rules that’s been put in place, in my opinion,” Jackson said. “Nothing’s black and white. “I’m unsure as to how I play the game going forward. Because, like I said, I’m still going to be in those situations two to three times every week. So, for me, just try to lower my target and don’t end up in the same situation.” Jackson was initially suspended four games after a hit on Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave, which led to Jackson’s ejection from a game. On appeal, it was reduced to two games. In Week 2, Jackson was also ejected for an illegal hit on Commanders tight end Logan Thomas in the end zone. That came a week after Jackson’s big hit on Raiders receiver Jakobi Meyers. Justin Simmons recently came to the defense of Jackson, saying his fellow safety isn’t a dirty player. “I wouldn’t be half the player I am if it wasn’t for Kareem and the knowledge both on and off the field that he’s bestowed on me,” Simmons said. “And never at any point in time when I’m watching the tape of him, or when I’m watching tape with him, has he ever come across as anything close to being a dirty player.” While away from the team on suspension, Jackson said he trained and spent time with his kids. In his absence, the team beat Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs at home and Josh Allen and the Bills on the road. “Just been extremely excited and happy for those guys and their success,” Jackson said of a Broncos team that’s won three straight. “Just hoping to come back and be a part of it — be a piece of the puzzle.” Jackson said he recently spoke to Broncos coach Sean Payton, who got right to the point. “He’s like, ‘We’re rolling, don’t you come in and mess it up,’” Jackson said. “Sean’s been great. He’s been real supportive through it all.” The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The amount of time Tiger Woods has been able to dedicate to competitive golf over the past couple years has been limited due to numerous setbacks. Woods has not played in a tournament since April, when he competed at the Masters. He withdrew in the third round after dealing with weather issues and an injured right leg. On Saturday, the golf great announced his intention to play later this month in the Hero World Challenge. The event is scheduled to begin Nov. 30 in the Bahamas. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM His TGR company announced his decision to take a sponsor exemption. The 20-man field is for the top 50 in the world ranking, though the tournament host — Woods — is exempt. TIGER WOODS’ SON, CHARLIE, ACCOMPLISHES FEAT FATHER NEVER HAS IN HIGH SCHOOL Earlier this month, the legendary golfer revealed he is no longer experiencing pain in his right ankle. The fifteen-time major champion underwent surgery on the ankle earlier this year. But Woods cautioned that the issues in his leg remain a work in progress. “My ankle is fine. Where they fused my ankle, I have absolutely zero issue whatsoever,” Woods said. “That pain is completely gone. It’s the other areas that have been compensated for.” He compared it to when he had fusion surgery on his lower back. He said the L5 and S1 vertebrae were fine. “But all the surrounding areas is where I had all my problems and I still do,” he said. “So you fix one, others have to become more hypermobile to get around it, and it can lead to some issues.” Woods was seriously injured in a February 2021 single-car crash in California. According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Woods was driving as fast as 87 mph, his rate of speed more than 45 mph above the posted speed limit. Woods played at the PNC Championship with his son, Charlie, just 10 months after his car crash. He also recently caddied for Charlie at the Notah Begay III Junior Golf Championship, sparking speculation he was close to playing again. Woods will be playing the Hero World Challenge for the first time since 2019. Woods has not won since the Zozo Championship in Japan in the fall of 2019, the year he won the Masters for his 15th major. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Formula One fans have filed a class-action lawsuit against the Las Vegas Grand Prix after a practice session Thursday night ended much earlier than expected, and many fans left the venue. Carlos Sainz Jr. ran over a water valve cover and damaged his vehicle just nine minutes into the first session, resulting in a two-and-a-half hour delay. The second session of the night did not begin until 2:30 in the morning, although the length of it was extended from an hour to 90 minutes. Race officials have since offered a $200 discount at the official gift shop, but only for those who held single-night tickets Thursday. The majority of fans have three-day passes. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Las Vegas-based Dimopoulos Law Firm and co-counsel JK Legal & Consulting filed the lawsuit against the Las Vegas Grand Prix and its owner, Liberty Media, in Nevada state court seeking at least $30,000 in damages. F1 President Stefano Domenicali and Renee Wilm, CEO of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, issued a statement Friday saying they closed the track to spectators for safety and legal reasons. F1 CHAMP MAX VERSTAPPEN NOT HAPPY WITH LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX EXCESS: ‘I DON’T LIKE ALL THE THINGS AROUND IT’ “We have all been to events, like concerts, games and even other Formula 1 races, that have been canceled because of factors like weather or technical issues,” the statement read. “It happens, and we hope people will understand.” Sainz hit the concrete frame around the cover. The governing body of the sport said that it took more than 10 minutes to get all the cars off of the track so it could inspect the entire circuit. At least for Sainz, he was ready to practice after the entire chassis on his Ferrari was replaced. Qualifying takes place on Saturday with the race occurring on Sunday. Fox News’ Ryan Gaydos and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

An NBA star is reportedly trying to void his recent purchase of a home he paid over $6 million for. Oklahoma City Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and his girlfriend are said to have moved into the Toronto home in May, but after a person came to the house looking for its previous owner, the couple left and have not come back. Gilgeous-Alexander bought the home from Aiden Pleterski, a self-proclaimed “crypto-king” who declared bankruptcy last year. Court records reportedly say that Pleterski owed close to 27 million Canadian dollars to more than 150 investment clients, and he was even kidnapped and beaten last December. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Angry visitors often came to the house searching for Pleterski, to the point where security was present at the home. The incidents resulted in another resident moving away. Pleterski has agreed to lease the home from Ray Gupta, the owner of Toronto real estate holding company, Sunray Group. Gilgeous-Alexander is said to not have known of Pleterski or the incidents at the home. So, when someone came to the house looking for Pleterski and camped near the home just two days after he and his girlfriend, Hailey Summers, moved in, they left and never came back. Summers apparently called a nonemergency phone number when the person showed up to the house and was told that there had been “several reports about threats to the property, including that there was a threat to burn the home down.” NBA FORCING HORNETS’ LAMELO BALL TO COVER UP TATTOO: REPORT The NBA player’s lawsuit says that the sellers of the home never disclosed the potential security threat. “The defendants knew that if the history of threatening visits to the property, and ongoing risk of same, was disclosed, then no reasonable person looking at properties of that type, quality and price would purchase it,” the suit reads, per CBC. Gupta didn’t deny that was the case. “Any purchaser who could afford to spend in excess of [8 million Canadian dollars] on a luxury home would value privacy and would also in any case want no part of a property that had a history of threatening visits to the past two occupants.” Gilgeous-Alexander is a Toronto native and represented Canada in the FIBA World Cup over the summer. He was the 11th pick of the 2018 NBA Draft and averaged a career-high 31.4 points per game last year. The home has six bedrooms and is 10,000 square feet on Lake Ontario.

The New York Times editorial board penned a new editorial on Saturday stating that the school closures enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic “may prove to be the most damaging disruption in the history of American education.” The editorial provided a reflection on the “significant” learning losses stemming from keeping around 50 million kids out of the classroom because of the virus, and urged elected officials and the education community to move quickly to heal some of the damage. The paper came to these points after certain mainstream media outlets supported these same closures. Some media figures have continued arguing they were good decisions. COVID VACCINE POLL FINDS MORE THAN HALF OF ADULTS ARE LIKELY TO SAY ‘NO THANKS’ TO THE VAX The editorial opened with a dire assessment of what COVID-19 closures did to America’s schoolchildren. It stated, “The evidence is now in, and it is startling. The school closures that took 50 million children out of classrooms at the start of the pandemic may prove to be the most damaging disruption in the history of American education.” “It also set student progress in math and reading back by two decades and widened the achievement gap that separates poor and wealthy children,” it added. To compound the issue, the board noted that learning losses “will remain unaddressed when the federal money runs out in 2024.” As such, this generation of students “will experience diminished lifetime earnings and become a significant drag on the economy,” The Times added, citing economists. The editorial lamented that school administrators and politicians are not mobilizing the country to meet this issue, noting that combating it requires a “multidisciplinary approach,” starting with “getting kids back on solid ground,” and replacing “the federal aid that is set to expire.” It also detailed how an “epidemic of absenteeism” is compounding the challenge of rehabilitating these students. The board wrote, “students who grew accustomed to missing school during the pandemic continue to do so after the resumption of in-person classes. Millions of young people have joined the ranks of the chronically absent — those who miss 10 percent or more of the days in the school year — and for whom absenteeism will translate into gaps in learning.” The piece also mentioned how these kids are “also vulnerable to mental health difficulties that worsened during the pandemic.” Citing the CDC, the Times said, “more than 40 percent of high school students had persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness; 22 percent had seriously considered suicide; 10 percent reported that they had attempted suicide.” MSNBC HOST MEHDI HASAN FLIPS OUT ON PRESIDENT BIDEN FOR SAYING ‘PANDEMIC IS OVER’ The editorial concluded, “The learning loss crisis is more consequential than many elected officials have yet acknowledged. A collective sense of urgency by all Americans will be required to avert its most devastating effects on the nation’s children.” Despite its current concern over the closures’ harm to American students, New York Times reporting in 2020 advocated for school closures despite the risks. In a March 2020 piece, the Times wrote, “More and more schools have chosen to close in the past few days, reflecting a growing consensus that the benefits of closings outweigh the harms, especially since many of the harms can be mitigated.” It added, “The immediate goal is to flatten the curve so that the peak infection rate stays manageable. With better testing and screening, it’s possible to imagine keeping schools open and still protecting families. Failing that, and we in the U.S. have been failing so far, school closures and significant physical distancing are starting to look like the best bet.” In an analysis piece from August that same year, the Times laid out which parts of the country should safely reopen schools, and which should not. At the time, it advised most of the country to keep schools closed. However, the Times also made the opposite point. In a November 17, 2020 op-ed, contributing opinion writer Aaron E. Carroll lobbied against closing schools. In a piece entitled, “Are We Seriously Talking About Closing Schools Again?” he cautioned, “Cases have definitely been more common in school-age children this fall. But when schools do the right things, those infections are not transmitted in the classroom. They’re occurring, for the most part, when children go to parties, when they have sleepovers and when they’re playing sports inside and unmasked. Those cases will not be reduced by closing schools.” Other mainstream media figures, like MSNBC anchor Mehdi Hasan, are still arguing that school closures were necessary and have claimed the same learning loss that the Times is currently lamenting is a “myth.” As recently as this August, Hasan claimed on his MSNBC show, “Because the myths about children and COVID, that kids aren’t really harmed by it, that school closures were a massive and avoidable mistake, that they caused learning loss and mental health issues, those myths, and they are myths, dangerous myths have endured for so long, become so ingrained, so pervasive.” Hasan has frequently attacked critics of masking and shutting down schools due to the pandemic. In 2022, he mocked concerns about the ongoing learning loss seen in schools. “And it kills me to hear so many people pretending to claim they care about school closures or ‘learning loss’ from the pandemic, and weaponizing children for political purposes, while ignoring the 200,000+ *orphaned kids* the pandemic created in America *alone*. Sickening tbh,” Hasan tweeted. The Times did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Tens of thousands of Israeli supporters marched from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem this week in protest of government inaction on rescuing hostages. Families of Israeli hostages taken by Hamas were the focal point of the support as the procession marched over the course of three days. The march is set to end on Saturday in front of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s residence. UN SECURITY COUNCIL CALLS FOR EXTENDED PAUSE IN ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR AS IDF STRIKES HAMAS LEADERS There remain up to 238 Hamas hostages in Gaza, and 10 of them are believed to be Americans. After the protest, the families of Israeli hostages are set to meet with war cabinet Minister Benny Gantz and cabinet observer Minister Gadi Eisenkot. The families have demanded to meet with Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and cabinet observer Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer — but such requests have been met with silence. ISRAELI FORCES STRIKE ISLAMIC JIHAD STRONGHOLD IN GAZA, KILL HAMAS TERRORISTS IN SCHOOL During the final leg of the journey, protesters were joined by Opposition Leader Yair Lapid. Some government officials have attempted to reach out and express sympathy with the march to mixed results. “I knew it wouldn’t be easy to come here. I knew I would get yelled at,” cabinet minister Miki Zohar said while engaging with protesters shouting him down. “But it doesn’t matter. I came here to tell you, as clearly as possible, that we will do everything – everything – to bring everyone home,” he continued. The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry claims more than 11,200 Gazans have been killed in the fighting, though they do not distinguish between Palestinian civilians and Hamas terrorists. Fox News Digital’s Anders Hagstrom, Louis Casiano and Elizabeth Pritchett contributed to this report.

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.

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.

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.
