Bears brass engaged in talks about potential trade for Steelers coach Mike Tomlin: report

Bears brass engaged in talks about potential trade for Steelers coach Mike Tomlin: report




The Chicago Bears relieved Matt Eberflus of his head coaching duties in November, just one day after he received considerable blame for mismanaging the clock in a 23-20 loss to the Detroit Lions. Eberflus’ nearly three-year tenure in the Windy City was marred by a flurry of last-second losses and ended with a six-game losing streak. Thomas Brown became interim head coach.The Bears are now searching for the franchise’s next head coach and have already interviewed several candidates, keeping in line with general manager Ryan Poles’ previous vow to cast a wide net during the search. But, according to a new report from ESPN, one of the ways the team explored filling its head coaching vacancy involved the acquisition of Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin via a trade.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe Bears recently contacted the Steelers to inquire about potentially gaining permission to speak to and possibly execute a trade for the Super Bowl-winning coach, according to the report. The Steelers rejected the request, sources told ESPN.Conversations are not believed to have reached Tomlin, who recently responded to questions about potential trade offers from other teams with a simple message: “Save your time.” Tomlin’s contract reportedly includes a no-trade clause.STEELERS’ GEORGE PICKENS MAKES STUNNING REMARK AFTER PLAYOFF LOSS VS. RAVENSThe Steelers finished the regular season with a 10-7 record, which maintained Tomlin’s distinction of never having a record below .500. However, the team ended its season on a four-game losing streak. Pittsburgh then got knocked out of the playoffs by the Baltimore Ravens in the wild-card round. It has now been eight years since the Steelers have won a playoff game.Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is believed to be one of the most sought after candidates this hiring cycle. Earlier this week, the Bears announced they interviewed Johnson. They also interviewed Arthur Smith, Brian Flores, Mike McCarthy, former Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll and several others.Despite ending the season with a 5-12 record, Chicago’s roster does have talent at key positions. The Bears’ next head coach will be tasked with developing quarterback Caleb Williams, the top pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. The coaching staff will also have the opportunity to work with wide receivers Rome Odunze and DJ Moore. Elsewhere, linebacker Tremaine Edmunds is a two-time Pro Bowler, and Jaylon Johnson is a talented cornerback.While the New England Patriots filled their head coaching vacancy in short order by hiring Mike Vrabel, the Bears, Jets, Saints, Jaguars and Raiders continue their respective searches.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Netanyahu says cease-fire will not begin until Israel receives list of hostages to be freed

Netanyahu says cease-fire will not begin until Israel receives list of hostages to be freed




Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a security situation assessment over the delay in receiving the list of hostages who are expected to be released Sunday morning as part of a cease-fire agreement with Hamas.Netanyahu told the Israeli Defense Forces that the cease-fire would not begin until Israel has the list of hostages expected to be freed. Since Hamas has not yet given the names of the hostages, the IDF will continue to operate, as it is still striking inside Gaza.”As of this morning, Hamas has not fulfilled its obligation, and contrary to the agreement, has not provided the State of Israel with the names of the returning female hostages up to this time. The ceasefire will not come into effect as long as Hamas does not fulfill its obligations,” IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari said.The agreement was set to go into effect Sunday at 8:30 a.m. local time, and Hamas had said it would provide the list of hostages. But the cease-fire remains on hold as Israel waits for the list of hostages to be freed.Hamas said the delay in providing the names was due to “technical field reasons” and added that it is committed to the cease-fire deal announced last week.WHAT TO EXPECT AS ISRAEL-HAMAS CEASE-FIRE GOES INTO EFFECT ON SUNDAYIsrael’s Cabinet approved the deal early Saturday morning for a cease-fire in Gaza that would include the release of dozens of hostages and pause the war with Hamas that began after the terror group’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack on the Jewish State.The deal would allow 33 hostages to be set free over the next six weeks, in exchange for hundreds of Palestinians imprisoned by Israel. The remaining hostages are set to be released in a second phase that will be negotiated during the first.Hamas agreed to release three female hostages on the first day of the deal, four on the seventh day and the remaining 26 over the next five weeks.Hamas has said it will not release the remaining hostages without a lasting cease-fire and a full Israeli withdrawal.This is the second cease-fire achieved during the war.Gaza is expected to receive a surge in humanitarian aid when the cease-fire begins.ISRAEL DEFENSE FORCES WILL RECEIVE HOSTAGES SUNDAY WITH EQUIPPED CAMPER TRAILERS AND COMFORTING SUPPLIESThe 15-month-long war in Gaza started when Hamas launched a surprise attack against Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, in which roughly 1,200 people wer killed and about 250 others were abducted, prompting military retaliation from Israeli forces. Nearly 100 hostages remain captive in Gaza.More than 46,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel’s offensive, according to the Hamas-run government’s local health officials, who do not distinguish between civilians and terrorists.

Lions waste best season in franchise history after falling apart to underdog Commanders in home playoff game

Lions waste best season in franchise history after falling apart to underdog Commanders in home playoff game




A franchise-record 15 regular season wins was washed down 8-mile road for the Detroit Lions. In a disastrous 45-31 loss to the Washington Commanders on Saturday, the Lions watched their best regular season in franchise history go to waste. Jayden Daniels threw for two touchdowns in a flawless performance by Washington’s dazzling rookie, and the Commanders reached the NFC championship game for the first time since winning the Super Bowl 33 years ago.”It’s a surreal moment,” Daniels said.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe sixth-seeded Commanders (14-5) were nearly double-digit underdogs against the Super Bowl favorite Lions (15-3) and overcame doubts as they did all season with a rookie quarterback, new coach and general manager.”I always believed that we could achieve more than people give us credit for,” Daniels said.Detroit, the NFC’s No. 1 seed for the first time, doomed its chances by turning it over five times.”If you turn the ball over five times against that team, it is going to be hard to win,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said.Washington rookie Mike Sainristil had two interceptions, including one on a trick play with receiver Jameson Williams throwing into coverage off a reverse in the fourth quarter. And Quan Martin returned a pick 40 yards for a touchdown.Jared Goff threw three picks and lost a fumble, turning it over three times in the ill-fated first half.Daniels finished with 299 yards passing and 51 yards rushing, and — just as important — didn’t turn the ball over.He became the second rookie quarterback to knock off a top-seeded team, joining Joe Flacco, who led Baltimore past Tennessee on Jan. 10, 2009.”Nothing surprises me with him,” said receiver Terry McLaurin, who turned a short pass from Daniels into a 58-yard touchdown.First-year coach Dan Quinn led Washington to its first playoff win in 19 years last week. The Commanders rallied past Tampa Bay for their sixth comeback win and fifth straight on the final play from scrimmage in regulation or overtime.The Commanders, who converted 3 of 4 fourth downs, didn’t let Detroit keep it that close.”Give them credit,” Campbell said. “They earned that game, and we didn’t.”Washington outscored Detroit 28-14 in the second quarter — the highest-scoring quarter in NFL playoff history — to take a 31-21 lead at halftime.Daniels had 242 yards passing in the first half, setting a rookie record one week after becoming the first rookie to lead his team in yards rushing and passing in a playoff win.The former LSU star, who was the No. 2 pick overall, was 22 of 31, including the long TD on the screen to McLaurin and a 5-yard throw for a score to Zach Ertz in the second quarter.Brian Robinson ran for 77 yards and two touchdowns.5 MOST INFAMOUS FAN MOMENTS IN SPORTSGoff finished 23 of 40 for 313 yards with a touchdown pass to Sam LaPorta that gave the Lions their last lead midway through the second quarter.Detroit’s Jahmyr Gibbs ran for 105 yards and two touchdowns while Amon-Ra St. Brown had eight receptions for 137 yards.Goff fumbled in a collapsing pocket on third-and-1 from the Commanders 17 late in the first quarter and Washington took advantage.Daniels converted a fourth-and-3 from the Detroit 9 to extend a drive capped by Robinson’s 2-yard touchdown run.Three snaps after Daniels’ TD throw to McLaurin, Goff overthrew his intended target and Martin intercepted it and took it to the end zone, putting the Commanders ahead 24-14. Goff took a hit from linebacker Frankie Luvu on the interception return and was evaluated for a concussion.With backup Teddy Bridgewater under center, Williams scored on a 61-yard reverse.Detroit’s defense, though, could not stop the Commanders all night. Washington set a season high in points.The Lions had a chance to cut into the deficit in the final minute of the first half, but Goff’s pass over the deep middle was picked off by Sainristil in the end zone.Detroit started the second half strong, forcing Washington to punt for the first time and going 76 yards on 11 plays on the ensuing drive, capped by Gibbs’ 8-yard run for his second touchdown to make it 31-28.The Lions, though, weren’t stingy for long on defense.Washington had a 15-play, 70-yard touchdown drive — extended by Detroit having 12 men on the field when facing fourth-and-2 from its 5 — and Robinson’s second short touchdown run restored the Commanders’ 10-point lead.The Associated Press contributed to this report. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

JD Vance mocks Biden’s 28th Amendment announcement with Pete Rose Hall of Fame comparison

JD Vance mocks Biden's 28th Amendment announcement with Pete Rose Hall of Fame comparison




President Biden’s recent declaration that the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is now “the law of the land” has prompted mockery in his final days in office. Biden isn’t even safe from insults from Vice President-elect JD Vance. Vance responded to Biden’s declaration in a post on X, joking that Biden should put the late disgraced MLB icon Pete Rose in the Baseball Hall of Fame. “Hey Joe if we’re doing fake s— on the way out can you declare Pete Rose into the Hall of Fame?” Vance wrote. “See you in two days!”Rose, who died back in September, was banned from MLB for life for illegally betting on games. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMRose was banned in 1989 after an investigation concluded that he not only gambled on MLB games, but went so far as to wager on games involving the Cincinnati Reds when he was managing the team. Rose signed an agreement with Commissioner Bart Giamatti declaring him permanently ineligible for baseball but allowing him to petition for reinstatement and avoid a formal declaration that he bet on baseball. Multiple appeals by Rose for reinstatement over the last few decades have failed.As a player, Rose won three World Series titles, two with the Reds and one with the Philllies, while making 17 All-Star games and winning NL MVP in 1973. He famously still holds the record for most hits in MLB history with 4,256. PETE ROSE ON MLB BAN FOR GAMBLING IN LAST INTERVIEW: ‘OTHER GUYS WILL KILL SOMEBODY AND BE BACK IN THE GAMEYet, his betting scandal has made him one of the most controversial holdouts of the baseball Hall of Fame since his retirement. His absence from the Hall of Fame is one of the sport’s most fiercely debated controversies. So Vance had no reservations about referencing Rose’s famed Hall of Fame controversy to mock the outgoing president. Citing the American Bar Association in the statement, Biden argued that the ERA has “cleared all necessary hurdles to formally be added to the Constitution.” Biden added that he agreed with “the ABA and with leading constitutional scholars that the Equal Rights Amendment has become part of our Constitution.” However, despite Biden’s argument, the National Archives disagreed.In a post on X calling the ERA the “law of the land,” implying that it is already part of the Constitution, which is not the case. Social media users were quick to point this out, with some calling the president a “dictator.”The ERA, a proposed amendment to the constitution that would guarantee “equal rights under the law” to all Americans regardless of sex. Its latest iteration was a rapid response by New York Democrats to the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson’s Women’s Health Organization decision in June 2022.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Hollywood actress calls LA Fires ‘a disaster,’ says not enough was done by elected officials




Hollywood actress Elizabeth Chambers argues not enough was being done by the government during the LA fires. During an interview with Fox News Digital, Chambers, 42, was asked if she believed city officials did everything they could to contain the Los Angeles fires. “I think it was a disaster,” she remarked. “I don’t think anybody was ready. I think it is on a scale that nobody anticipated.”CALIFORNIA FIRES: ESSENTIAL PHONE NUMBERS FOR LOS ANGELES-AREA RESIDENTS AND HOW YOU CAN HELP THEMChambers shared her sentiments regarding billionaire real estate developer and former Los Angeles mayoral candidate Rick Caruso.”And then Caruso saved Palisades Village. … You can get political, or you can’t.

It’s eerily untouched.”WATCH: ELIZABETH CHAMBERS CALLS LA FIRES ‘A DISASTER,’ SAYS NOT ENOUGH WAS DONE”The music is still playing in Palisades Village, as if it’s Disneyland and everything around it is destruction. So, do I think the steps were taken appropriately and quickly enough? Absolutely not.”

Caruso, who unsuccessfully ran against Karen Bass for mayor in 2022, previously said the non-existent water supply as the Palisades Fire reduced multimillion-dollar real estate to ashes represented “absolute mismanagement by the city.”LA FIRES: KELLY OSBOURNE BLASTS CELEBS USING ‘PEOPLE’S PAIN AND SUFFERING’ FOR ‘PHOTO OP’ IN SCATHING RANT”There’s no water in the Palisades. There’s no water coming out of the fire hydrants. This is an absolute mismanagement by the city. Not the firefighters’ fault, but the city’s,” Caruso told Fox11 Los Angeles when the fires raged. The deadly fires broke out in the Los Angeles area Jan. 7, forcing tens of thousands of residents to flee for safety as their homes and businesses were destroyed. Officials on Thursday said more than 30 people remain missing while two additional deaths brought the number of those dead to 27.Chambers detailed the moment she had to evacuate as she immediately gathered her and her children’s personal belongings.”I took our passports. I took birth certificates. I took pictures of just like that … were around the house … older family photos,” she explained to Fox News Digital. “I just packed for a couple of nights.”LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?

And I just approach parenting like that in general,” she told Fox News Digital.”But if the pilot of the plane is not panicking and saying everything’s fine, and you know that you’re about to crash, you also don’t trust the pilot. So, you know, it’s transparency. It’s really honest conversations and its reassurance.”You can say a lot of people are losing their homes right now. We have everything that’s important. And no matter what, we’re a family. And we’re healthy, and we’re together.

This has truly been the most devastating unthinkable for so many, and this is our chance to help.””It’s a vanilla cake with sliced strawberries folded in and lemon butter cream,” Chambers told Fox News Digital. “And we’ve sold so many already in the last few days, and that money goes directly to the LA Fire Department Foundation.”She noted that the flavor is meaningful because 90% of all strawberries grown in the United States come from California, and “we are turning lemons into lemonade.”Fox News Digital’s Danielle Wallace contributed to this report.

Incoming ‘border czar’ Tom Homan previews ‘well-planned’ deportation operations after inauguration

Incoming 'border czar' Tom Homan previews 'well-planned' deportation operations after inauguration




With less than two days until President-elect Donald Trump returns to office, incoming “border czar” Tom Homan shared a glimpse of the administration’s deportation plans to tackle the border crisis and illegal immigration. The incoming Trump administration is eyeing immigration arrests of illegal immigrants across the country as soon as day one, as top officials say they are ready to “take the handcuffs off” Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).”They’re going to be targeted enforcement operations,” Homan said on “Fox News Live” on Saturday. “When ICE goes out, they’re going to know exactly who they’re looking for, pretty much where they’ll find them. It’s a well-planned operation. They’ll know possibly who’s in the household, including children. This is a well-planned enforcement operation.”TRUMP DETAILS STRATEGY TO GET NECESSARY VOTES WITH ONE-BILL APPROACH TO BORDER, TAXESThe Wall Street Journal reported that the administration is planning a large-scale raid in Chicago on Tuesday, targeting those with criminal backgrounds in particular.”President Trump has been clear from day one, from the campaign on to today, that he’s going to secure the border and he’s going to have the deportation operation. There has to be consequences for violating our laws,” Homan told host Mike Emanuel.”President Trump’s had it. He has no patience. We’re going to start this operation. We’re going to fulfill the mandate the American people gave him.”BLUE STATE GOV CHANGES TUNE AFTER VOWING TO FIGHT TRUMP DEPORTATION EFFORTS, NOW HOPES HE FIXES BORDERThe administration has promised a mass deportation operation, as well as increased border security. Officials have said they intend to target those with criminal histories and convictions, but have also stressed that they will potentially arrest anyone in the United States illegally. There are currently more than 7 million individuals on ICE’s non-detained docket.”We’re going to get back to the most secure border in my lifetime that President Trump had during his first administration, but this time, we’re going to finish the job. When you secure the border, you save lives,” Homan argued.Homan also addressed expected pushback from “sanctuary” cities that refuse to allow state and local law enforcement to honor ICE detainers — requests that ICE be notified when illegal immigrants in custody are being released.”How many young women have to be raped and murdered and burned alive until the sanctuary cities understand this? It’s about public safety,” Homan said. “Every elected official, whether you’re a mayor or a governor or on the city council, your number-one responsibility is to protect your own community. Help us. Come to the table and help us. We’re not asking you to be immigration officers. We’re asking to help make your communities safer by those who are here illegally.”CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPFox News Digital’s Adam Shaw contributed to this report.

Trump family heads to US Capitol ahead of Inauguration Day: ‘This time, America won’

Trump family heads to US Capitol ahead of Inauguration Day: 'This time, America won'




President-elect Trump boarded a special Air Force plane Saturday afternoon for his historic return to Washington, D.C.Trump, his wife, Melania, and youngest son, Barron, embarked on their trip from West Palm Beach, Florida, to the U.S. Capitol, waving to crowds before ascending the steps.A few hours later, they landed in Sterling, Virginia, where Trump will host an evening reception and fireworks show at Trump National Golf Club.Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, joined them on the Air Force Special Air Mission plane. HIGHLIGHTS FROM PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP’S 1ST INAUGURATION DAY; WHAT TO EXPECT FROM MONDAYTrump’s middle son, Eric, and daughter-in-law, Lara, departed Florida separately, on the president-elect’s private plane.During the plane ride, Eric Trump took to X, sharing his “renewed hope and spirit for [the] country.””The past 10 years have been a constant fight — countless rallies, TV appearances, subpoenas, depositions, and weeks in cold courtrooms,” Eric Trump wrote in the post. “Through endless attacks on my family, the company I run, and the employees I care for, we faced slander, fake news, home raids, and countless games designed to break us.”WHO IS SEAN CURRAN? HEAD OF TRUMP’S PERSONAL DETAIL TO BE NOMINATED FOR SECRET SERVICE DIRECTORHis immediate family – including wife, Lara, and children, Luke and Carolina – joined him on the trip to D.C.Eric Trump wrote that “every ounce of [his] fight” has been for his children and the future of their generation. “This time, America won,” he added.”Against all odds, we did it—together, with the incredible people of this nation and the greatest political movement in history,” Eric Trump wrote. “I’ve never been prouder of anyone than I am of [Donald Trump]. He stood unwavering, truly having the courage of steel. Our country is in great hands. The madness is over. America is in an age of renewal.”On Sunday, Trump will attend a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery and a “Make America Great Again” rally, followed by a candlelit dinner. The inauguration will take place at noon Monday in the Capitol Rotunda, due to frigid temperatures in the area. Then Trump, just the second president in history to win non-consecutive terms, will give his inaugural address.Hours before the Trump family boarded the plane, thousands of protesters on Saturday descended on the streets of Washington, D.C., to protest.The “People’s March,” originally referred to as the “Women’s March,” had three meeting locations, each championing a different cause.Some topics included “gender justice,” democracy and immigration, and local Washington issues.Demonstrators carried posters that read “Feminists v. Fascists” and “People over politics,” Fox News Digital reported.Fox News Digital’s Michael Dorgan contributed to this story.

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry called local villains by neighbors in ritzy California town

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry called local villains by neighbors in ritzy California town




Meghan Markle and Prince Harry reportedly are called local villains by neighbors of the ritzy California town the couple fled to after leaving their royal roles behind.One Montecito resident, who has never met the couple but spoke to Vanity Fair, referred to the duo as the prince and “the starlet.”The neighbors of the quiet Santa Barbara area attribute many of the new annoyances to Markle and Prince Harry, including increased housing prices, busy streets and more. The neighborhood has seen much more tourist traffic since Markle and Harry’s arrival in 2020, anonymous residents told the outlet. Vanity Fair also reported that several people they spoke with noted the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have become local villains.MEGHAN MARKLE POSTPONES LIFESTYLE SERIES RELEASE DUE TO CALIFORNIA FIRESMarkle’s latest business endeavor, American Riviera Orchard, is also located in Montecito, Vanity Fair reported. According to the outlet, a book published by the Southern Pacific Company rail lines in 1898 states, “The Montecito is known as the American Riviera.” However, that honor reportedly now belongs to Santa Barbara. “It’s such a kind of hucksterism,” a resident told Vanity Fair. “It’s just finding every way she can to monetize something.”I still think they’re the most entitled, disingenuous people on the planet,” the resident added. “They moved away from England to get away from the scrutiny of the press, and all they do is try and get in the press in the United States.”LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?

They came here to be a part of our community,” she told Access Hollywood in 2020.”My friend said she was sitting in her car, and they bicycled across the street and waved at her while she was sitting at the red light,” she recalled. “They’re a part of our community. They’ve become a giving, caring, participating part of our community. They’re not here to be like, ‘Would you like to kiss my butt?'”Montecito has been home to a handful of celebrities, including Natalie Portman, Jeff Bridges, Gwyneth Paltrow, Adam Levine, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael Keaton and Oprah.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERDespite moving to the United States five years ago after stepping back from his senior roles in royal life, Prince Harry reportedly doesn’t have a social life aside from his nuclear family.”[Meghan] was up front about the fact that Harry hadn’t made many friends yet,” a source, who previously interacted with Markle professionally, told Vanity Fair.Markle and Prince Harry threw themselves into work and landed a bombshell Netflix contract months after establishing Montecito as their home in 2020. They first released their docuseries, “Harry & Meghan,” in 2022. The show earned the biggest one-day audience for any Netflix series since monitoring began in October 2022. One year later, they followed up with the “Heart of Invictus” docuseries in 2023 and produced “Polo” in 2024.However, multiple sources described Markle and Prince Harry as having “really great ideas” for shows that never got made.”I think Harry doesn’t know what he wants because he grew up in a fishbowl, and so he doesn’t know what real life really is,” an insider, who worked on media projects with the couple, told Vanity Fair. “I think he probably wants to be left alone and be able to go kiss babies every once in a while but not have to worry about money. I don’t think he wants to be famous the way Meghan wants to be famous.”Fox News Digital’s Tracy Wright contributed to this report.

ASRA NOMANI: The professional protest machine behind today’s ‘People’s March’

ASRA NOMANI: The professional protest machine behind today’s ‘People’s March’




As anti-Trump protesters swarmed the steps below the Lincoln Memorial Saturday, media outlets painted a feel-good portrait. NBC4 Washington declared on social media: “Grassroots groups are descending on the capital for the People’s March before President-elect Trump’s inauguration.” The Associated Press reported that anti-Trump “demonstrators” “converge” on Washington, D.C., for protests led by the Women’s March, a “grassroots movement.”The Washington Post described the protests as a “joint effort among civil rights, racial and social justice and reproductive health organizations,” highlighting the event’s “diverse mix of people.”While this positive media coverage may have captured the energy of ordinary protesters, they omitted one critical detail: the name of for-profit professional machine behind the protest.THOUSANDS OF LEFT-WING DEMONSTRATORS DESCEND ON WASHINGTON TO PROTEST TRUMP INAUGURATIONFar from a spontaneous outpouring of civic action, the event was coordinated by Movement Catalyst LLC, a for-profit company based in Silver Spring, Md., and the official permit holder for the protests, according to a copy of the permit, which I obtained from the U.S. National Park Service. In the 1990s, covering international trade for the Wall Street Journal, I was among the first reporters to put the term “AstroTurf” into the paper’s pages, describing a coalition against tariffs on minivans that the auto industry called “grassroots” but was actually manufactured by an industry lobbying group. Protest organizing isn’t much different nowadays, and today’s “People’s March” is more AstroTurf than “grassroots.” So too is the march planned for Monday, when we can expect more aggressive rabble-rousers to show up, as I reported earlier this week.A plan, marked “Confidential Document – Not for Distribution” and submitted as part of the permit application, reveals that Movement Catalyst and its team of professional protest organizers coordinated everything from security to dumpster pickups, “port-a-potties” and a meticulously detailed “run of show,” The confidential document reveals the extraordinary precision with which this event was constructed, down to the golf carts, water stations and even snack distribution for staff.Why does this matter? Because the public deserves transparency. When media outlets frame such events as grassroots, led by ordinary Americans gathering to voice their concerns, it misrepresents the reality. These are highly coordinated, well-funded initiatives driven by professional organizers. The lack of scrutiny obscures the financial, strategic and political interests behind these movements. It’s critical to follow the money and understand the players using the imagery of grassroots activism to advance their agendas. Often, media outlets will look at conservative events, like the March for Life, with skepticism and scrutiny, while deeming progressive causes as “grassroots.” We should have equal-opportunity transparency.So, what is Movement Catalyst LLC? According to Washington, D.C., government records, it is a limited liability corporation established in February 2021. On its website, Movement Catalysts promotes its for-profit services, writing it’s an “experienced and interdisciplinary team of strategists, organizers, campaigners, and researchers” who launch “strategic projects to meet the moment,” partnering with organizations to “expand their ability to have an impact, and anchor movement infrastructure.” Its officials didn’t respond to a request for comment. The People’s March is one of those “strategic projects,” and the company’s services include “strategy & campaign development” and “creative protests & events.” A look at its funding reveals the scale of its operations. In 2021, Movement Catalyst LLC received $592,050 from the New York-based Sustainable Markets Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit for “web campaign development,” according to its IRS Form 990 filing. Then, in 2023, Philadelphia-based Workers United, working on “organizing the unorganized collective bargaining,” paid Movement Catalyst LLC a total of $319,600, according to its tax filing. The services provided? “CONSULTANT.” This is far from a “grassroots,” mom-and-pop operation run over a kitchen table.The confidential document lists four top officials at Movement Catalyst, as “protest leads”:The document also includes a polished map for staff and volunteers, marked “FOR INTERNAL USE – STAFF & VOLUNTEERS,” detailing traffic flow and staging areas at Franklin Park, McPherson Square and Farragut Square. The “Production Schedule for People’s March” reveals the granular level of planning: “Portable restrooms,” “Golf carts,” “Tents,” “Stage,” Tables,” “Chairs,” “Leaflets, pamphlets,” “Signs, banners,” “Bullhorns” and Movement Catalyst for “Paid Team Clean Up.””Miscellaneous” items include walkie-talkies, “500 cardboard trash receptacles,” “5000 masks,” hand sanitizer, earbuds, “snacks for volunteers and staff,” “coffee and catering for staff,” sweatshirts, scarves, t-shirts, “office supplies” and “badges for staff.”Mortell Industries provided restroom trailers, “Metro Golf Car” delivered golf carts, and Bell Visuals managed live-streaming. The permit lists “Site Security” as “Omni Ranger Solutions.” Bell Visuals, a D.C. company quietly behind many of protest messages projects around the nation’s capital, is listed among the vendors for live-streaming.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThe “PRODUCTION SCHEDULE” and “RUN OF SHOW/RALLY PROGRAM” was scripted with leaders and performers from many big-money organizations, including the Women’s March, Popular Democracy in Action, Standing Up for Racial Justice, Harriet’s Wildest Dreams and Dream Defenders. Movement Catalyst promised to provide at least 750 “identifiable marshals,” each wearing “hi-visibility vests and volunteer credentials.”This level of professionalism is not new in modern protests, but rarely are the details disclosed so explicitly. The public has a right to know when well-financed organizations use the guise of grassroots activism to promote their interests. Transparency ensures accountability and enables a more informed discussion about the role of professional activism in shaping public discourse.Behind the music, speeches and banners lies a highly coordinated operation, far removed from the grassroots imagery projected by the media. This matters because democracy thrives on truth, and understanding who pulls the strings is essential for an informed citizenry. Professional organizing is most certainly legal, but in this day of misinformation, it’s critical to examine who is driving movements cast as “grassroots,” so the public isn’t misled.Sunday morning’s plans, from 4 a.m. until 5 a.m., includes a final essential: “Load out dumpsters and portable restrooms.”CLICK HERE FOR MORE FROM ASRA NOMANI

CNN defamation trial: Losing case expected but still a bad bruise for the network, insider says

CNN defamation trial: Losing case expected but still a bad bruise for the network, insider says




A CNN employee says losing a high-profile defamation case this week might have been expected inside the network, but that didn’t stop it from leaving a mark.”Being found liable for defamation and dishonesty is a bad thing,” the employee said bluntly in a message to Fox News Digital.Navy veteran Zachary Young successfully alleged CNN smeared him by implying he illegally profited when helping people flee Afghanistan on the “black market” during the Biden administration’s military withdrawal from the country in 2021. Young believes CNN “destroyed his reputation and business” by branding him an illicit profiteer who exploited “desperate Afghans” during the Nov. 11, 2021, report that first aired on CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper.” After a chaotic trial that was held over two weeks in Florida, the jury ruled Young was to be awarded $4 million in lost earnings and $1 million in personal damages, and it also found punitive damages were warranted against CNN. Before the jury could rule on the latter amount, CNN and Young reached a settlement.JURY FINDS CNN COMMITTED DEFAMATION AGAINST NAVY VETERAN, SETTLEMENT REACHED ON PUNITIVE DAMAGESAfterward, Young said he felt “vindication.””It’s been a long three years, and to have the outcome that we wanted, which was vindication publicly, is an incredible feeling, and I’m glad that it’s over, and we don’t have to spend more years and more time arguing about the meaning of a word,” Young told Fox News Digital on Friday.While sparsely covered at first in the press, as the trial wound down, the case drew more attention from mainstream outlets, and the verdict on Friday was widely covered.Young’s legal team obtained CNN internal messages through discovery repeatedly showing staffers expressing hostility toward the Navy veteran. Among those presented to the jury included one calling him a “s–tbag” and an “a–hole,” and another one saying he has a “punchable face.” It was also revealed that Alex Marquardt, the CNN correspondent who led the on-air report, told a colleague “we’re gonna nail this Zachary Young mf—er,” which was cited repeatedly during the case, and said the report was going to be “your funeral bucko,” referring to Young in an exchange with a colleague.A CNN spokesperson said the network would take “useful lessons” from the case.PLAINTIFF IN CNN DEFAMATION TRIAL CELEBRATES ‘VINDICATION’ FOLLOWING COURTROOM DRAMA: ‘I’M GLAD IT’S OVER'”We remain proud of our journalists and are 100% committed to strong, fearless and fair-minded reporting at CNN, though we will of course take what useful lessons we can from this case,” CNN said in a statement after the settlement.The CNN employee told Fox News Digital that they didn’t think the issues that arose in CNN’s journalism with this story reflect cultural issues within the company.”The messages were bad… But I don’t think it’s a network-wide cultural thing,” they said. “It seemed to me it was an overzealous reporter — just someone who believed something was true and framed info in that context… found info to support that and didn’t critically look at their own conclusions.”They added this comes at a time when morale is poor at the network, which is grappling with low ratings and reported pending layoffs, and there didn’t appear to be any internal “rallying behind” the flag internally. A spokesperson responded to reports about CNN’s financial health by calling it “very healthy” and noting a report showing parent company Warner Bros. Discovery was making an investment of over $70 million in its digital pivot.Another CNN insider told Fox News Digital that the private messages that came out in discovery were “damning stuff.”CNN DEFAMATION TRIAL: EDITOR WHO SAID STORY WAS ‘FULL OF HOLES LIKE SWISS CHEESE’ GRILLED ON WITNESS STANDAt another point in the trial, CNN senior national security editor Thomas Lumley was grilled after internal messages showed he was highly skeptical of the “pretty flawed” report. Lumley was called as a witness after internal messages showed he felt the report was “full of holes like Swiss cheese.” Another reporter involved in the story, Katie Bo Lillis, acknowledged she didn’t think about how much the segment could affect Young; the plaintiff said it wrecked his reputation and also had a drastic effect on his personal life, leaving him depressed and emasculated.Several CNN figures also testified they didn’t agree with the network’s decision to apologize in 2022 for suggesting Young operated on a “black market.””The woeful performance of CNN journalists on the witness stand… juices the impact of Young v. CNN,” The Washington Post’s Erik Wemple wrote. “They stumbled under questioning; they failed to defend a key wording choice; and in certain instances, as in the case of Lillis, they appeared clueless about the impact of their own massive network, which reaches more than 70 million households in the United States.””CNN should be deeply embarrassed that despite layers and layers of editorial staff, they could not perform basic journalistic functions nor overcome clear dysfunction among overpaid, arrogant TV stars playing journalist and cowardly editors,” a former CNN staffer who still works in the industry told Fox News Digital.CNN’s media unit has offered sparse coverage of the case. Media correspondent Hadas Gold published a short item about the verdict, and chief media analyst Brian Stelter made brief mention of the outcome in his Reliable Sources newsletter on Friday, in addition to one at the outset of the trial on Jan. 6. According to a Grabien search, CNN has not covered the lawsuit or the jury’s decision on the air.After the case ended, Young told Fox News Digital he didn’t have any animosity toward the network but did hope CNN and other media organizations learned from the experience.”I hope that they take this as an opportunity to look in the mirror and realize that, you know, there is room for change and improvement, and if that’s the outcome that it has on CNN, then maybe others in the media also can see that as something that’s positive,” he said.

Taylor Swift reportedly gives gift to Brittany Mahomes’ newborn daughter days before Trump takes office

Taylor Swift reportedly gives gift to Brittany Mahomes' newborn daughter days before Trump takes office




Taylor Swift has reportedly gifted Brittany Mahomes a hand-made baby blanket to celebrate the birth of Mahomes’ newborn daughter, Golden Raye, according to Page Six.”Taylor’s aunt knitted her a baby blanket when she was a child, so it’s always had a special meaning for her and something she wanted to do for her friends,” a source told the outlet. “It’s become a tradition for Taylor, something she loves doing and something that can’t be bought. It comes from the heart.”Brittany and her husband, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, welcomed their new baby on Jan. 12. It is their third child, and their first since Swift came into their lives when the pop star began dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Back in September, when Brittany was in the earlier stages of her pregnancy, she faced a barrage of online attacks from Swift fans. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThese attacks were in response to the pregnant mother simply giving a like to an Instagram post on Donald Trump’s account. Screenshots of Brittany’s like on a post that laid out Trump’s 2024 policy platform circulated across social media, often by Swift fan accounts. Many of those fans, who share Swift’s political beliefs as a Democrat, then flooded Brittany’s pages with insults and attacks. Brittany even had to address the controversy multiple times in social media posts and a podcast interview, defending herself. In one post on Aug. 23, Brittany wrote, “I mean honestly, To be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep-rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood. There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well.” In another post on Aug. 26, she wrote, “Contrary to the tone of the world today … you can disagree with someone, and still love them. You can have differing views, and still be kind. Read that again!”In an episode of the “Whoop” podcast on Aug. 28, she said she has leaned on her three-time Super Bowl-winning husband to get her through the recent public scrutiny. “Having him to help me get through it has helped a lot, because he is very good at managing those things and blocking people out and doing all that type of stuff,” she said. “Having him beside me and kind of guiding me, coaching me through it has helped a ton. I think that’s kind of gotten to where we are at now.The apparent political differences between Swift and Mahomes became more pronounced when they were seen sitting in separate suites at the Chiefs’ home opener against the Ravens on Sept. 5. Then on Sept. 10, Swift announced her endorsement for Kamala Harris. In a Fox News interview the next day, Trump declared that he liked Brittany “much better” than Swift in response, having already acknowledged the support from the then-pregnant mother on social media. EX-NFL STAR DISCUSSES WHY DEION SANDERS SHOULD STAY IN COLLEGEBut Trump stoked the political divide between Mahomes and Swift even further when he sent a post that read, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” on his Truth Social account. However, Swift didn’t keep her difference from Mahomes, even after Trump’s aggressive messaging. They were later seen in the same suite during a Chiefs game against the Saints on Oct. 7, and Brittany showed off a picture of Swift rubbing her pregnant belly. Patrick also said in an October interview on “The Drive” podcast that he and Brittany often let their three-year-old daughter, Sterling Skye, bake with Swift.Patrick’s mother Randi Mahomes also endorsed Trump days before the election.Data suggests that Swift’s endorsement of Harris did not sway voters in a meaningful way in the recent election. According to AP VoteCast, 44% of women ages 18 through 44 voted for Trump, while 48% of women 45 and older supported the former president, now president-elect. In a New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer and Siena College poll, which was conducted starting one day after Swift endorsed the Harris-Walz campaign, nearly 2,500 likely voters nationwide revealed that 44% have a favorable opinion of Swift, compared to 34% who have an unfavorable view.The same poll found that 47% view Trump favorably, compared to 51% who don’t. The poll shows that 70% of Democrats have a favorable view of Swift, compared to 41% of independents and just 23% of Republicans. A total of 60% of Republicans indicated that they had an unfavorable view of Swift, while only 11% of Democrats felt the same way.A September poll found that Trump has higher favorability numbers among likely voters, compared to Swift. Now, as Trump is set to return to office on Monday, Swift appears as cozy as ever with her Trump-supporting friend.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
