When his infant son was diagnosed with a rare, fatal disease, a Canadian father was dismayed to discover there was no treatment or cure. So he set out to make one himself.Terry Pirovolakis, an IT director in Toronto, Ontario, welcomed his third son in Dec. 2017. It was a “normal, healthy birth,” he told Fox News Digital — but within six months, he and his wife, Georgia Pirovolakis, noticed their baby, Michael, was not lifting his head.”He just didn’t seem like he was meeting his milestones,” Pirovolakis said.MOTHER FRANTIC TO SAVE CLINICAL TRIAL THAT COULD CURE HER DAUGHTER: ‘THE TREATMENT IS SITTING IN A FRIDGE’After months of doctors’ appointments, physiotherapy and genetic testing — what Pirovolakis describes as an “18-month diagnostic odyssey” — a neurologist diagnosed baby Michael with spastic paraplegia 50 (SPG50), a neurological disorder that affects fewer than 100 people in the world.”They told us to just go home and love him — and said he would be paralyzed from the waist down by age 10, and quadriplegic by age 20,” Pirovolakis said.”They said he’d never walk or talk, and would need support for the rest of his life.”Spastic paraplegia 50 (SPG50) is a neurological disorder that affects a child’s development, gradually leading to cognitive impairment, muscle weakness, speech impairment and paralysis, according to the National Organization for Rare Disorders.Most people with the disease will die by the time they reach their 20s.”Children with SPG50 may experience early developmental delays, muscle weakness and spasticity, but they continue to strive and adapt,” Dr. Eve Elizabeth Penney, an epidemiologist at the Texas Department of State Health Services and medical contributor for Drugwatch, told Fox News Digital. WHAT IS ANGELMAN SYNDROME? COLIN FARRELL’S SON IS LIVING WITH THIS RARE DISEASE”Over time, these symptoms can worsen, making it hard for affected individuals to walk and perform daily activities,” added Penney, who was not involved in Michael Pirovolakis’ care.”The prognosis varies from person to person, but it’s generally a progressive condition, meaning symptoms can become more severe over time,” she also said. In the absence of a cure, most families can only manage symptoms through physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and medications to help control spasticity or seizures, Penney said. “Managing SPG50 requires a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to address its various symptoms and challenges,” she added.There is no treatment currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for SPG50.After the shock of the diagnosis, Pirovolakis immediately started researching, with a focus on finding a gene therapy that could help his son.A month after his baby’s diagnosis, Pirovolakis flew to Washington, D.C., for a gene therapy conference, where he met with several experts. He also visited Sheffield, England, and the National Institutes of Health at the University of Cambridge, where scientists had been studying the disease. “We then liquidated our life savings, refinanced our home and paid a team at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center to create a proof of concept to start Michael’s gene therapy,” Pirovolakis said.After successful tests showed the gene therapy was effective at stopping the disease’s progression in mice and in human cells, Pirovolakis worked with a small drug company in Spain to manufacture the drug.On Dec. 30, 2021, Health Canada granted approval to move forward with the gene therapy for Michael Pirovolakis. STIFF PERSON SYNDROME PATIENTS SHARE WHAT IT’S LIKE TO LIVE WITH THE RARE DISEASE”On March 24, 2022, my son was the first person to ever get treated with gene therapy at SickKids in Toronto,” Pirovolakis said.The procedure, which involves injecting cerebral spinal fluid through a lumbar puncture, does come with risks — but the potential benefits are life-saving.After Michael Pirovolakis received the one-time treatment, there were three more doses left.”We decided that we had to help other kids,” Pirovolakis said.”When I heard that no one was going to do anything about it, I had to — I couldn’t let them die.”Pirovolakis opened up a Phase 2 study in the U.S., which treated three children two years ago. One of those was 6-month-old Jack Lockard, the youngest child to ever receive the treatment.”Jack has thrived since then,” Rebekah Lockard, the boy’s mother, told Fox News Digital.THE GIRL WHO CAN’T SMILE: HOW A RARE DISORDER BECAME A YOUNG WOMAN’S ‘GREATEST GIFT’”He is sitting independently, banging toys together, drinking from a straw cup and working really hard on crawling.”She added, “Doctors and therapists share the same sentiment: The treatment works!”Other children who participated in the trial have experienced similar results, Lockard said.”They’ve all shown that their disease has stopped progressing and their cognition has improved.”There are more children who still need the treatment — including Lockard’s first child, 3-year-old Naomi, who also has SPG50 — but are unable to access it because the clinical trial has now run out of money, as Fox News Digital previously reported. It costs about $1 million to make the drug for each child, Pirovolakis said, and another $300,000 or so to treat the patient in the U.S. at the hospital. Pirovolakis has approached pharmaceutical companies, but all of them have declined to manufacture the drug.”No investor is going to give you money to treat a disease that is not going to make money,” he said. “That’s the dilemma we’re in.”While Pirovolakis and his team are actively working to secure grants and investors, it’s largely up to the parents to raise funds for the next phase of the clinical trial.So far, Lockard has raised more than $90,000 via GoFundMe (called “Naomi and Jack Battle SPG50”) to get her daughter’s treatment, but that is only a fraction of what is needed.Penney noted that treatment for SPG50 is challenging and expensive to develop — “mainly because it’s a sporadic disease.”The doctor told Fox News Digital, “Pharmaceutical companies often prioritize conditions that affect larger populations, with a more significant potential for recouping research and development costs.”CHILDREN WITH TOTAL DEAFNESS REGAIN HEARING AFTER ‘GROUNDBREAKING’ GENE THERAPY: ‘LIKE A MIRACLE’”The market is much smaller for rare diseases like SPG50, making it financially less viable for companies to invest in creating a treatment.”To devote himself to the cause, Pirovolakis quit his job and started a nonprofit in California, which now has five employees and 20 consultants.The company — called Elpida Therapeutics, after the Greek word for “hope” — will run a Phase 3 study for SPG50 at the NIH in November.Without the backing of major drug companies, however, there isn’t funding available to get the therapies to the children who need them. Eight doses of the drug for SPG50 were produced in Spain and have been flown to the U.S.”The treatment is here, just literally sitting in a refrigerator, ready to go,” Lockard said. “Doctors are ready. There just isn’t enough money to make it happen.”For more Health articles, visit www.foxnews.com/healthThere are currently four families in the U.S. who are trying to raise the money that’s needed, according to Pirovolakis.”Time is of the essence,” he said. “We want to make sure the trial moves on and these kids get treated.”Looking ahead to the Phase 3 clinical trial at the NIH, Pirovolakis’ goal is to treat eight children with SPG50.”If we can show that it works in all eight children — and we can prove to the FDA that it is making a difference — then the drug will get approved and every child can get it,” he said.Ideally, after the drug is approved — which could take three to five years, Pirovolakis estimates — SPG50 will be added to hospitals’ newborn screening programs and every child with the disease will be able to get the therapy.Elpida Therapeutics has partnered with the Columbus Children’s Foundation (Fundación Columbus in Spain) and CureSPG50 to help save children with the disease.”Our partnership with Elpida is driven by an unwavering commitment to leaving no child behind,” Sheila Mikhail, co-founder of the CCF, said in a statement to Fox News Digital.”At the Columbus Children’s Foundation and Fundacion Columbus, as a global organization, we believe that every child deserves a chance for a healthy future. Together, we’re making groundbreaking strides in treating ultra-rare genetic disorders, ensuring that no child is left to face these challenges alone.”Pirovolakis said he gets several calls each week from families around the world, asking for help saving their children.”Unfortunately, the biggest challenge in providing treatment for children with rare diseases often comes down to a lack of funding and vision,” he told Fox News Digital. “The technology to cure our children is already here. I hope that someone with immense wealth — and more importantly, the vision and influence — will step in,” he said. “Their support could not only impact a handful of diseases and children, but extend hope to thousands of rare diseases and millions of children, both this generation and the next.”CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERCurrently, 40 million Americans are living with a rare disease, and one in 10 will be afflicted by a potentially treatable rare condition.Pirovolakis added, “Someone you know or love will likely be affected by a rare disease.”

Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota has personally appointed members to the state’s teachers board, a body that will require educators to “affirm” their students’ gender identities, have “racial consciousness,” and learn to “disrupt oppressive systems,” public notices show.The Minnesota Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board (PELSB) updated its Standards of Effective Practice with new guidelines for aspiring state teachers that are set to take effect throughout the state in 2025. Walz, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, was behind the appointment of all 13 PELSB members during his tenure as governor.The new standards will require teachers in Minnesota to take controversial stances in their approach to teaching, such as “affirming” their student’s “gender,” “gender identity” and “sexual orientation.”In order to become a licensed educator, the new standards also require that a teacher “understands multiple theories of identity formation” and takes “culturally affirming, and proactive approaches to behavior.”KAMALA HARRIS AND TIM WALZ, ENDORSED BY TEACHERS UNIONS, RECEIVE FAILING GRADE FROM SCHOOL CHOICE GROUPThe eighth section of the new standards, titled, “Racial Consciousness and Reflection,” requires that a teacher “understands how ethnocentrism, eurocentrism, deficit-based teaching, and white supremacy undermine pedagogical equity.”The practice also requires a teacher to assess “how their biases, perceptions and academic training may affect their teaching practice and perpetuate oppressive systems and utilizes tools to mitigate their own behavior to disrupt oppressive systems.”Catrin Wigfall, education policy fellow at the American Experiment, a North Dakota conservative think tank, says that “there is concern that these changes will exacerbate the teacher shortage, discouraging aspiring educators from entering the profession out of fear they will be forced to incorporate ideological perspectives just to be able to do the job they love.”‘HE IGNORED US’: LOCAL MINNESOTA SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT SLAMS WALZ’S ‘NEGATIVE IMPACT’ ON K-12 EDUCATION”Gov. Tim Walz’s Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board (PELSB) plowed forward with making controversial changes to state teacher licensure requirements despite overwhelming pushback and criticism from the public. The changes will require aspiring educators to infuse ideologically-driven content into their licensure coursework (regardless of where they plan to teach), and the expectation is that this will then be implemented in their classrooms,” Wigfall told Fox News Digital.”The changes also make concerning and insulting generalizations about our teachers — that they are to consider themselves as biased with intersecting oppressive identities and that they need to be trained on how to treat others of different demographics with respect and dignity, celebrate student diversity, etc,” Wigfall, a former public school teacher, told Fox.Under the Walz-appointed board’s new rules, students will be taught about “power, privilege, intersectionality, and systemic oppression in the context of the various communities.”Those affected by the standards are “all teacher candidates completing an initial teacher licensure program in Minnesota and all teachers seeking an initial Tier 3 license via the licensure via portfolio process.”Schools across the state are preparing to adopt these policies as Walz runs on the Democratic presidential ticket with Vice President Kamala Harris.

She may be only 12 years old, but that hasn’t stopped a Maryland girl from becoming the state’s “Master Angler.”Lucy Moore of Perryville, Maryland, is impressing fishermen decades older by winning the highly competitive “FishMaryland Master Angler Award.”The seventh grader has been proudly fishing since she was only two years old, Moore told Fox News Digital in an interview. MONTANA 12-YEAR-OLD STUNNED AS HE REELS IN RECORD-BREAKING FISH: ‘I’M IN DISBELIEF’Her dad, Nick Perez, was the first one to take her out and her love of fishing has continued to grow, he said to Fox News Digital.There are certain requirements that an angler must meet in order to be awarded the title of “Master Angler” — requirements that not even her dad has met yet, he said. There are three levels of the FishMaryland Milestone Awards, with Master Angler the highest achievement.”Milestone awards recognize those skillful anglers who catch trophy-sized catches of different species caught after Jan. 1, 2019,” according to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources website.TEEN SMASHES STATE FISHING RECORD FOR TIGER TROUT”Each milestone is marked with a certificate and a limited edition FishMaryland Milestone sticker.”Anglers in Maryland have the opportunity to win the Angler Award, Expert Angler Award and the top Master Angler Award.A year ago, Moore unintentionally checked off the Angler Award after she caught three different species, all meeting the minimum length requirement, she said.”Then I kind of got obsessed with getting citations until I got to the second stage, so I asked [my dad], ‘How many stages are there?’”TWO WEST VIRGINIA FISHING BUDDIES BREAK STATE RECORDS WITHIN HOURS OF EACH OTHERAfter realizing she’d accidentally reached the Expert Angler Award by catching five different species, Moore decided to keep chasing the top prize — 10 different species.Moore would go out with her dad almost every weekend, no matter the weather, to try and catch the 10 different species.A rainstorm or even heavy snow didn’t stop them from heading out to the water.”That’s the funny joke I make. People are like, ‘Oh, you can fish in the rain. Doesn’t that affect the fish?’ But they live underwater. What do they know?” Perez joked.BOY REELS IN COLOSSAL 118-POUND WHITE MARLIN ON NANTUCKET, POSSIBLY BREAKING JUNIOR WORLD RECORD After months of going fishing and hoping to hit all the additional species and length requirements needed to reach Master Angler, Moore caught her final fish — and immediately knew she’d won the coveted prize.”Finally, we got the fish and at first I was like so shocked, like, ‘Did I actually do this?’ and then I was just so overcome with joy,” Moore said.The Maryland DNR reported Moore’s 10 species:The seventh grader was officially named Master Angler in May, but her ceremony did not take place until July at Bass Pro Shop.OHIO TEEN’S STATE FISHING RECORD OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED AFTER 101-POUND BLUE CATFISH CATCH: ‘I STARTED CRYING’She caught eight of her 10 species in winter weather, with Perez noting that the fish are “the largest and most abundant [in Maryland] in the winter time.”Perez was by Moore’s side the entire time and is proud of his daughter’s accomplishment, he said, even if that means she’s the better angler.When asked who is the better fisherman, Perez and Moore both agreed: It’s the 12-year-old.FLORIDA GIRL, 12, HOOKS MULTIPLE FISHING RECORDS IN A FEW SHORT MONTHS: ‘ON A ROLL’Moore even joked about her dad not yet receiving the Master Angler Award.”I’m working on mine, but I don’t have mine yet … I only have four,” Perez said. The Maryland dad said he encourages other dads to take their daughters out fishing and give it a try, because they may fall in love with it.”I’ve told people before, if you really want to get your kid into it, go without a rod. Don’t take your own,” Perez stated.FLORIDA HIGH SCHOOLER REELS IN 250-POUND GOLIATH GROUPER FROM BEACH”So just go with them with a tackle box there … and focus on them. You can get them to kind of fall in love with the sport by not focusing on yourself.”For Moore, it’s as simple as that. “I just always loved it,” she said.Her favorite part of the fishing experience is “either the fight or the fish or [even] places that we go for it.”Moore told the Maryland DNR, “I think this award is such an amazing accomplishment for me – [I] have been fishing for 10 years and did something so incredible … Being able to catch so many cool kinds of fish and to have people excited to see me getting closer to this goal is what kept me trying to get this award – this was really a lot of fun.”For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyleAt age 12, Moore believes she’s caught well over 10,000 different fish, but the number may be even higher.”Lucy has been an avid angler for as long as she was able to hold a fishing rod,” Perez shared with the Maryland DNR. “Her love for the sport is almost unmatched, and her preferred method of fishing is actually on the fly,” he said.At a very young age, “she’s caught fish a lot of people have only dreamed of, from exotic clown knifefish to wrangling the ‘fish of 10,000 casts,’ the muskellunge – she does it all.”Her love for all things outside and in the water has inspired her to one day be a marine biologist in hopes of making all sorts of new discoveries.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERWhile that may be in the distant future, Moore already has exciting plans for the next fishing season.She is setting a new goal for herself — which is to go after a Maryland state record.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau got an earful during a photo op from a cash-strapped steelworker who told the leader his policies have left his family scratching to make ends meet.Footage of the tense exchange in Sault Ste. Marie, a city in Ontario, which was obtained by CTV News, went viral. The unidentified worker spurned Trudeau’s offer of doughnuts to complain about high taxes, medical bills and giveaways to people he deemed “lazy.””The 25% tariffs we just brought in is going to help you out … that’s going to keep your job,” Trudeau told the man.”What about the 40% taxes I am paying? And I don’t have a doctor,” the employee of Algoma Steel shot back.CANADA MOVES TO LIMIT IMMIGRATION AMID STRAINED RELATIONS WITH USTrudeau responded by saying that a multimillion-dollar investment from the Canadian government meant the man would have a job “for many years to come.” The man responded by saying that he expected Trudeau to be voted out.”That’s what elections are for,” said the Liberal Party leader, who stayed calm and collected during the exchange. “I look forward to everyone exercising the right to vote. … We are going to invest in you and your job.””I don’t believe you for a second,” the steelworker shot back.The man also mentioned that he felt unemployed Canadians got better access to affordable health care than he did after Trudeau referenced an initiative to help hundreds of thousands of Canadians get dental care.CANADA’S TRUDEAU TO REMAIN IN OFFICE DESPITE LOSS OF KEY SEAT IN SPECIAL ELECTION “Probably like my neighbor who doesn’t go to work because she’s lazy?” the steelworker asked.”You know what? Most Canadians try to stick up for each other, and that’s what we’ve got to keep doing,” Trudeau responded before wishing the man good luck. At the end, the laborer appeared to refuse a handshake from Trudeau.The next federal election in Canada is set to take place on Oct. 20, 2025. Trudeau’s government has been scrutinized amid a cost-of-living crisis affecting the country, though Trudeau has remained optimistic.”Inflation came down last month, beating out expectations,” the prime minister wrote in a Facebook post on July 17. “But, until Canadians can feel that relief in their wallets, at the grocery store, and on their mortgages, the job’s not done.”CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPFox News Digital reached out to Trudeau’s office for comment.

A woman relaxing at a beach in Wildwood, New Jersey, was reportedly run over by a police officer during a freak accident last week.The incident took place on Wednesday afternoon, according to the Star-Ledger. Wildwood Police Chief Joseph Murphy told the Press of Atlantic City that the incident involved one of the department’s Ford F-150 pickup trucks.The victim, whose name was not released by authorities, suffered broken ribs, three fractured vertebrae and a lung injury, according to WPVI-TV, which cited the victim’s boyfriend.Murphy said the officer driving the pickup was responding to an ordinance violation when the accident happened.ODD-LOOKING FISH, LARGEST OF ITS KIND, WASHES UP ON BEACH, STUMPS EXPERTS: ‘REMARKABLE'”The officer was down there in performance of his duties on a call for service,” the police chief said. “Horrifically, he ran over a victim who was lying on the beach.”Murphy added that the victim was visiting Wildwood while on vacation ahead of Labor Day weekend.”There was a lot of help from people on the beach,” the police chief added. “The civilians on the beach did an incredible job.”A bystander named Rose Simone told WPVI-TV that fellow beachgoers panicked when the pickup ran over the woman.WOMAN IMPALED BY UMBRELLA WHILE SUNBATHING AT FLORIDA BEACH: POLICE”Everybody was gathering around screaming, yelling at the person in the truck, ‘Stop! There’s somebody under your truck! You hit somebody!'” the Chalfont, Pa., resident recalled.”A bunch of guys came around that were in the area, and they said we have to lift the truck, the front of the truck, to get her out,” Simone continued.Simone told the Star-Ledger that she noticed the woman before the incident happened. The victim was wearing dark clothes while lying on a beach towel.”It was an accident, clearly, but one that probably could have been avoided,” she added.The victim is expected to survive.Fox News Digital reached out to the Wildwood Police Department for more information.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ interview drought finally ended Thursday, but after 43 days as the presumptive and now official Democratic nominee for president, she has yet to hold an official press conference.Under pressure to sit down for a substantive interview after weeks of stonewalling, she agreed to a sit-down with CNN’s Dana Bash on Thursday in Georgia, joined by running mate Tim Walz.Harris defended some of her noted policy flip-flops on issues like fracking and immigration, saying her “values” hadn’t changed. She was also pressed on whether she had regrets about defending President Biden’s mental acuity after his debate, given he dropped out of the race less than a month later. She also said she wanted to “turn the page on the last decade of what I believe has been contrary to where the spirit of our country really lies.”Bash pointed out Harris had been vice president for three-and-a-half of those years, but Harris countered she meant moving on from this “era,” seemingly referring to the political rise of Donald Trump that began in 2015.HARRIS CLAIMS SHE ‘MADE CLEAR’ HER POSITION ON FRACKING IN 2020 – TRANSCRIPT SHOWS ANOTHER STORYFollowing Harris’ first sit-down interview, NBC News Washington correspondent Yamiche Alcindor, who is known for her glowing Biden-Harris coverage, appeared unimpressed. “Harris keeps saying ‘my values haven’t changed’ while not explaining why her positions have changed,” Alcindor wrote. As to when she’ll actually do a formal press conference, that day may never come. Sunday marks exactly six weeks since Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Harris; no other Democrat challenged her and she quickly wrapped up the nomination from there.”You will not see one press conference from her in the next 75 days until Election Day,” Fox News contributor Joe Concha predicted earlier this month.NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck feels the vice president “obviously owes it to the American people to hold free-wheeling press conferences where reporters can, unlike what happened [Thursday] with CNN’s Dana Bash, ask follow-up questions.””For every softball from, say, ABC or NPR, you’ll hope a liberal journalist will show some courage to do the right thing,” Houck told Fox News Digital. “The interview itself had a positive atmosphere. From the get-go in the hype video-like opening by Bash, CNN put forward a perception that this was an event, not a grinding fact-finding mission,” Houck continued. “She missed a litany of topics with Harris. Allowing death row inmates to vote, closing ICE, defunding the police, ending private insurance, girl’s sports, the filibuster, Jussie Smollett, the Minneapolis bail fund, systemic racism… those were just a few of the areas she could have touched on.”Former President Trump has sought to highlight the contrast in media availability between the two, sitting for several lengthy interviews in recent weeks and also holding a pair of press conferences.Harris received mixed reviews for her showing on Thursday with Bash, where she took the majority of the questions but nevertheless had Walz there for support.One point that received praise from liberals was her pointed dismissal of a question about Trump’s suggestion that she didn’t embrace being Black until adulthood. Calling attacks around race from Trump a tired “playbook,” she told Bash to move on to the next question.But conservative CNN commentator Scott Jennings said the Trump campaign should be “salivating” over one of the revelations from the interview, which appeared to be her embrace of so-called “Bidenomics.””She is making it clear that she will embrace and be a continuation of Biden’s economic policy — his record — what they’ve done,” he said. “She offered no remorse, no regrets, no introspection about anything they’ve done.”HUCKABEE SANDERS BLASTS HARRIS FOR DOING JOINT INTERVIEW WITH WALZ: CAN’T DO IT ‘BY HERSELF’By doing the interview, Harris met the bar she set three weeks ago that she wanted to schedule one by the end of the month. Whether pressure will grow for her to do more, and also her first solo interview as a candidate, remains to be seen.”My fear is, because Bash wasn’t like, say, CBS’s Steve Kroft or NPR’s Steve Inskeep salivating at the sight of Barack Obama, the liberal media will claim this and the upcoming ABC debate are sufficient interview time for the campaign,” Houck said.Fox News Digital’s Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report.

It was the beginning of new eras for both USC and LSU, but only one of them got off to an ideal start.Miller Moss, only replacing No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams, had ice in his veins, driving down the field late to help the 23rd-ranked Trojans get a 27-20 victory over No. 13 LSU in Las Vegas on Sunday night.With the game tied at 20 with 1:47 left and a timeout, it was all USC needed. Moss completed his first five passes on the drive, and with 18 seconds left, Kyron Hudson made his second one-handed catch of the night to put the Trojans in field goal range. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMAfter the reception, LSU’s Jardin Gilbert was called for targeting, putting the Trojans at the LSU 13. Woody Marks then ran it in for his second score of the night, giving USC a 27-20 lead over LSU with eight seconds left. Garrett Nussmeier’s first pass for a miracle drive was picked off, all but giving USC the victory.The aforementioned Hudson had what might already be the catch of the year earlier in the game back in the second quarter, and the Trojans found the end zone two plays later with a Marks score to go up, 7-0.LSU PLAYER CALLED FOR UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT AFTER APPEARING TO PRETEND TO SHOOT GUN AFTER TOUCHDOWNHowever, LSU scored on a Kyren Lacy touchdown on the ensuing drive. After the score, though, he appeared to pretend to shoot a gun, resulting in a 15-yard penalty on the kickoff. USC took advantage, but ultimately had to settle for a field goal. LSU matched it, and USC missed a field goal just before the half ended to head into the locker room tied at 10.Both teams exchanged punts to begin the second half, but USC found the middle of the uprights midway through the third. LSU, though, responded with a seven-play, 73-yard touchdown drive that ended in Nussmeier’s second touchdown, this time to Aaron Anderson.Midway through the fourth, USC found themselves at LSU’s 36-yard line and opted to go for it on 4th and 9, but Moss’ pass fell incomplete. But after forcing a three-and-out, the Trojans needed just three plays to take the lead, as Moss found Ja’Kobi Lane for an impressive, over-the-shoulder, touchdown grab to put USC up, 20-17, with 5:44 to go. LSU, though, kicked a game-tying field goal on their next drive. But, it clearly was not enough.Moss completed 27 of his 36 passes for a career-high 378 yards, while Marks ran for 68 yards on his 16 carries, two of which resulted in touchdowns. In replacing reigning Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels, who went right after Williams in the NFL Draft, Nussmeier impressed by going 29-for-38 for 304 yards through the air – Lacy led all receivers with seven receptions for 94 yards.USC figures to climb up a decent amount in the rankings, and they will head home on Saturday to host Utah State. It will be interesting to see where LSU winds up, though, as they host Nicholls next weekend.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

President Biden and Vice President Harris plan to meet in the White House Situation Room on Monday along with the U.S. hostage deal negotiating team after the murder of six hostages, including American citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin, by Hamas on Saturday.The White House said the focus of the meeting is to discuss efforts to drive toward a deal that secures the release of the remaining hostages. The meeting is also closed to the press.Mobs of protesters took to the streets in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and other cities on Sunday after the bodies of the hostages in Gaza were returned to Israel, fueling frustration and anger toward the country’s leadership for failing to achieve a cease-fire deal freeing the remaining hostages.Israeli media reported that the crowds of protesters were estimated to be up to 500,000 in major Israeli cities. Many of the protesters demanded Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu do more to bring home the remaining 101 hostages.ISRAEL’S LARGEST LABOR UNION PLANS MASSIVE STRIKE AFTER SIX HOSTAGES’ BODIES RECOVEREDReuters reported that Israel’s leadership estimates that nearly a third of the remaining hostages are dead.While protests remained strong on Sunday, labor leaders called on workers to be part of a one-day strike Monday.”We are getting body bags instead of a deal,” Histadrut Labor Federation chief Arnon Bar-David said to reporters on Sunday, according to Reuters. “We must reach a deal. A deal is more important than anything else.”AMERICAN HOSTAGE HERSH GOLDBERG-POLIN, 5 OTHERS ‘BRUTALLY MURDERED’ BY HAMAS RIGHT BEFORE RESCUE: IDFThe Histadrut Labor Federation is Israel’s main labor union that represents hundreds of thousands of workers. Bar-David’s call for a one-day strike was supported by manufacturers and tech entrepreneurs in the country.Israel’s military announced that the bodies of hostages 40-year-old Carmel Gat, 23-year-old Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 24-year-old Eden Yerushalmi, 32-year-old Alexander Lobanov, 27-year-old Almog Sarusi and 25-year-old Ori Danino were recovered from a tunnel in the southern Gazan city of Rafah.A polio vaccination campaign had begun in the war-torn Gaza Strip, which sparked violence in the occupied West Bank.ISRAEL RECOVERS 6 DEAD HOSTAGES IN ‘COMPLEX RESCUE OPERATION,’ SAYS BODIES HELD UNDER HUMANITARIAN AREAThe bodies of the six hostages have since been returned to Israel, according to military spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari.An Israeli health ministry spokesperson said a forensic analysis of the bodies determined the hostages were “murdered by Hamas terrorists in a number of shots at close range” 48 to 72 hours prior.NETANYAHU MOURNS DEATHS OF 6 HOSTAGES RECOVERED IN GAZA, VOWS TO ‘SETTLE ACCOUNTS’ WITH HAMASAfter learning of the news, protesters blocked streets in Jerusalem and held a demonstration outside Netanyahu’s residence. In Tel Aviv, protesters blocked the main highway while holding flags with images of the murdered hostages.During the protests, police reportedly arrested about two dozen Israelis nationwide, Reuters reported.DEFENSE MINISTER SAYS ISRAEL MUST ‘WIDEN THE GOALS’ OF WAR TO RETURN RESIDENTS TO THE NORTHAfter the hostages’ bodies were recovered, Netanyahu said in a statement that he was “shocked to the core” by the murders.”He who murders abductees does not want a deal. We are in a difficult day. The heart of the entire nation was torn,” Netanyahu said. “Along with all the citizens of Israel, I was shocked to the core by the terrible cold-blooded murder of six of our abductees.”War has been raging in the Middle East since Oct. 7, when Hamas launched a series of attacks on Israel, sparking Israel to declare war soon afterward. An estimated 257 Israeli hostages were trapped in Gaza when the war first began, and 101 hostages are still in Gaza. Of the 101 remaining hostages, 66 are believed to be alive, four of whom are American citizens.Fox News Digital’s Landon Mion, Emma Colton and Reuters contributed to this report.

During a visit to the Minnesota State Fair on Sunday, Democrat vice presidential nominee Tim Walz appeared to miss a question about six hostages found dead in Gaza. The clip, making the rounds online, shows the Minnesota governor greeting supporters and answering a few questions. Someone off camera can be heard asking Walz, “What’s your reaction to the six hostages being found dead in Gaza?” Without answering, Walz tells the group of people, “All right, thanks everybody,” and walks away. DEM LAWMAKER CALLS OUT CNN FOR BOTCHING HEADLINE ON HAMAS KILLING HOSTAGESThe angle made it seem like Walz was deliberately avoiding answering, but it’s not clear from the footage whether he had heard the question. The clip was still enough to set X users alight, with some accusing him of being a “coward” for failing to answer. Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris-Walz campaign to inquire whether the governor had heard the question and, if not, what his response would have been. Later Sunday, Walz issued a statement condemning Hamas as a “brutal terrorist organization.” “The anguish of losing a child is something no family should have to endure. Gwen and I send our deepest condolences to the Goldberg-Polin family, after Hamas’ murder of their son Hersh,” reads a post on Walz’s X account. “Hamas is a brutal terrorist organization – and we condemn their continued atrocities against both Americans and Israelis in the strongest possible terms.” Walz’s appearance at the Minnesota State Fair came after Israel Defense Forces found six Israeli hostages dead during a rescue operation in the tunnels below Gaza’s Rafah.Among the bodies recovered was Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who had been held by Hamas terrorists since Oct. 7, when war broke out between Israel and Hamas.Fox News Digital’s Emma Colton contributed to this report.

A pair of reparations-related bills for the descendants of enslaved Black Americans failed to pass in the California legislature on Saturday after backers said the bills would not move forward. Authored by Democrat state Sen. Steven Bradford of Inglewood, Senate Bill 1331 would have created a new state fund for reparations, while Senate Bill 1403 would have established a state agency to oversee these efforts and determine who would be eligible. These measures were considered key components of some lawmakers’ ambitious efforts to pass legislation aimed at atoning for what they said was a legacy of racist policies that drove disparities for Black people, from housing to education to health.While the Democrat-led California legislature did a pass a spate of other bills aimed at remedying past racial injustices, none of these would provide direct payments to African-Americans. ‘MOLESTERS’ AND ‘RAPISTS’ WOULD GO FREE UNDER CALIFORNIA BILL, STATE SENATE GOP WARNSBradford said the bills didn’t move forward out of fear that Gov. Gavin Newsom would veto them.”We’re at the finish line, and we, as the Black Caucus, owe it to the descendants of chattel slavery, to Black Californians and Black Americans, to move this legislation forward,” Bradford said, urging his colleagues to reconsider Saturday afternoon.California Legislative Black Caucus Chair Assemblymember Lori Wilson said Saturday that the Black Caucus pulled the bills, adding the proposals need more work.”We knew from the very beginning that it was an uphill battle. … And we also knew from the very beginning that it would be a multiyear effort,” Wilson told reporters.In a statement posted on X, the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC) said it was “unable to participate in the legislative process collectively and only recently became aware of the concerns with [SB 1403].” PELOSI PRAISES CA BILL GIVING ILLEGAL MIGRANTS MONEY TO BUY HOMES: ‘AMERICAN DREAM’ ‘AVAILABLE TO MORE PEOPLE'”We are well past the amendment deadline; therefore, the decision has been made to continue working on this bill and reintroduce it in the next session,” CLBC said. “Regarding the status of Senate Bill 1331, the CLBC will not be moving it forward this year.” A group of protesters supportive of reparations showed up at the Capitol Saturday for demonstrations. The Coalition for a Just & Equitable California accused CLBC of refusing to bring the bills up for a vote despite having the votes to pass the bills.  “This type of betrayal cannot go unanswered. There must be a political price to pay. Gone are the days when politicians of any race or party can disrespect Black Americans and expect no political consequences. We are not captured. We do not belong to any party or special interest. We are the living embodiment of our Ancestors who built this state and this country over 400 years and who are owed Reparations. We’re coming…No…We’re HERE, to get our checks and more,” the group wrote on X.California Republican Assemblymember Bill Essayli of Corona made a motion to take up the bills for a vote, but no other lawmaker would second the motion. On X, Essayli accused Democrats of going “into hiding” and refusing to bring the bills up for a vote when it came time to pass them despite for years “promising to pay direct cash reparations to Americans who have been harmed by slavery.” Essayli, who said he had a good faith dialogue with the bills’ supporters, clarified that he did not support California taxpayers paying for the wrongs of slave states but “believed there should be a debate and a recorded vote on the issue.” “Politicians cannot be allowed to make promises to the people who elect them, and then hide like cowards when it’s time to go on record,” Essayli said. “At minimum, the People were owed a hearing and opportunity to know where their elected representative stands on the issue.” SB 1331 and 1403 were put on the inactive file before midnight. The Democrat governor hasn’t weighed in on most of the other reparations-related bills, but he signed a nearly $300 billion budget in June that included up to $12 million for reparations legislation. However, the budget did not specify what proposals the money would be used for, and his administration has signaled its opposition to some of them. Newsom has until Sept. 30 to decide whether to sign the other bills that passed into law.Reached for comment Saturday, the governor’s office pointed to Newsom’s comments from earlier this year when he told reporters: “I haven’t [just] read [the Reparations report] — I’ve devoured it. I’ve analyzed it. I’ve stress tested against things we’ve done, things we’re doing, things that we’d like to do, but can’t do because of constitutional constraints. And I’ve been working closely with the Black Caucus.”

The 2024 U.S. Open will be one Coco Gauff would like to forget sooner rather than later.The defending champion failed to advance past the Round of 16 on Sunday afternoon, losing to fellow American Emma Navarro, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3.Navarro took care of business in the first set, and the second was a back-and-forth battle early.
