UNITED STATES

The Los Angeles Dodgers are showing why they have been the World Series favorites all year.They put up yet another dominant performance over the New York Mets in Game 4 of the NLCS on Thursday, rolling to a 10-2 win and taking a commanding 3-1 lead in the National League Championship Series.Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani got things started with a bang, hitting his third homer of the postseason in the top of the first inning. New York answered right back, though, with a solo shot by Mark Vientos in the bottom half of the first. The Dodgers got back-to-back, two-out hits in the third inning that each drove in a run, but the Mets quickly cut that deficit back to one.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMIn the fourth, Mookie Betts drove in two runs with a double, putting L.A. up, 5-2. Two innings later, Betts blasted a two-run homer, and it was a five-run lead for the Dodgers. New York loaded the bases with none out in the sixth, but they did not get a run across, deflating the Citi Field crowd. To add insult to injury, the Dodgers added three runs in the eighth to ice it.The win came despite the Dodgers resting Freddie Freeman, who has been playing with a badly sprained ankle. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts didn’t commit to playing Freeman in all three games in New York, but he did say after Game 3 that he expected Freeman in Thursday’s lineup. He didn’t seem to be missed.Ohtani scored four runs on the night, walking three times to go along with his homer. Betts, meanwhile, went 4-for-6. GUARDIANS USE LONG BALL TO PULL OFF MIRACULOUS WALK-OFF WIN AFTER SQUANDERING LATE LEADNow, the Dodgers are one win away from getting back to the World Series. They last won it all in the COVID-shortened 2020 season, but aside from that, they haven’t won since 1988. It would also be their first appearance in the Fall Classic in a full season since 2018, when they lost to the Boston Red Sox.As for the Mets, they’ll need to win at home Friday, and then in Los Angeles on Sunday and Monday, in order to head back to the World Series. In all, Los Angeles has outscored the Mets, 30-5, this series.This is hardly the first time the Mets have had their backs against the wall this October, but this is the first time that they’ll have to survive and advance for quite some time.It’s yet to be determined who the Mets will pitch while facing elimination, as they will likely go with either Kodai Senga or David Peterson. Los Angeles, meanwhile, will go with Jack Flaherty.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

A Minnesota police officer who also works as a substitute teacher has been banned from teaching in the South Washington School District after reportedly using a student to reenact the events leading up to the death of George Floyd. Prescott Patrol Officer Steve Williams is also a two-year veteran of the Woodbury Police Department and was not serving in an official capacity as a police officer for the City of Prescott when the alleged actions occurred.A statement released by the City of Prescott, however, confirmed the officer in question is currently on administrative leave as they further investigate.  “The City of Prescott and the Prescott Police Department find the current allegations, if true, made against Mr. Williams to be very disturbing, reprehensible, and we in no way condone his actions. Our deepest sympathies go out to the South Washington School District, staff and students,” the statement said.NEVADA MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER CALLS WHITE PEOPLE ‘PROBLEMATIC,’ CLAIMS EDUCATION IS RACIST: ‘START A RIOT’Williams, who was substitute teaching four separate English classes at the school on Monday, allegedly made racist and sexist comments to students as well as other actions that added to the need for school officials to remove him.Parents of the students attending the school received letters signed by Woodbury High School principal Sarah Sorenson-Wagner, South Washington County Schools Superintendent Julie Nielsen and Assistant Superintendent Kristine Schaefer notifying them about the incident in which the school officials explained that Williams said he thought the students “would want to hear about his life as a police officer.”MINNESOTA SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT SLAMS GOV. WALZ’S POLICIES FOR ‘NEGATIVE IMPACT’ ON EDUCATION | FOX NEWS VIDEOOfficials also said in the process of speaking to individual students they learned that during the incident he “Twisted a student’s arm behind the student’s back and showed pressure points on the chin and face,” “spoke about a bar fight and fake punched a student with his fist ‘really close’ to the student’s face,” and he “‘Invaded students’ space and mimicked holding up a gun and pointing it at students.”Parents have been reassured that the school “responded immediately, removed the teacher from the classroom and walked the teacher out of our school.” School officials say a report on the incident has been submitted to the Minnesota Department of Education and the state’s educator licensing board.The City of Prescott is conducting its own internal investigation as the Woodbury Police Department is conducting its investigation.

Sometimes, you just have to go out and take the opportunities handed to you, and that’s exactly what the Denver Broncos did on Thursday night in Louisiana.The Broncos made the best of the injury-riddled New Orleans Saints, who looked just that part. Denver went out and earned a 33-10 win on Thursday night at the Superdome.Broncos running back Javonte Williams found the burst he desperately needed, finding the end zone twice in the game, while kicker Will Lutz went 3-for-3 on field goal tries in the first half.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe second half started pretty much the same way the first half went, as Lutz drilled his fourth field goal of the night. On their next drive, Williams found the end zone a second time to go up 26-3. For good measure, in the fourth quarter, Denver returned a fumble to the house for a score, pretty much icing it with a 33-3 lead.The Saints looked like a team who had their backup quarterback in the game and their top two targets out — which is exactly what they were. Spencer Rattler started as Derek Carr nursed an injury, and both Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed were inactive.RAVENS FAN SEEN IN VIRAL FIGHT VIDEO IDENTIFIED, WARRANT ISSUED FOR ARREST, POLICE SAYRattler threw for just 172 yards on 25-for-35 passing — Bub Means, Foster Moreau, and Alvin Kamara each had six catches.As for the other side, Williams finally broke out, rushing for 88 yards on his 14 carries, two of which were scores. Bo Nix also was effective on the ground, running 10 times for 75 yards.The game marked Sean Payton’s first game in New Orleans since leaving them after the 2021 season — he was their coach for 16 years, going 152-89 with them and winning Super Bowl XLIV.Denver is now surprisingly over .500, and next week they will host the Carolina Panthers. The Saints, meanwhile, have now lost five straight after winning their first two. They will go to Los Angeles to face the Chargers in Week 8.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

I know. I know. Hard to believe you’re seeing this, isn’t it? Happy Thursday, everyone. So, did you see Brett Baier interviewed Kamala Harris last night, Yeah. Kamala did so bad, FEMA gave her $750. Harris did so bad, Jimmy Carter woke up and demanded his vote back. Kamala did so bad, Tim Walz would have shot himself, but he can’t load a gun. Harris did so bad, Doug Emhoff can’t get any nannies to return his calls. By the way, we actually got video of Kamala driving after it was over. Here she is. You know, it was reported that Kamala showed up for the interview about 20 minutes late, but she came as soon as she finished happy hour. On the upside, it gave Bret time to give his hair two more coats of shellack. You did a great job. When Baier asked Harris when she knew about Biden’s mental decline, she replied that ‘Joe Biden is not on the ballot.’ Yes, he’s not on the ballot because of his mental decline. That’s like when asked, “when did you first know you ran over a crossing guard?” And you answer, “it doesn’t matter. He’s dead now.” ‘The View’s’ Sonny Hostin said that Harris went into the belly of the beast, leading viewers to momentarily think she was eaten by Whoopi Goldberg. Moving on.CNN SEGMENT PUTS SPOTLIGHT ON KAMALA HARRIS’ FLIP-FLOPS ON FAR-LEFT POLICIES: ‘VERY SHARP TURN’ According to a new survey, 25% of Gen Zers have brought their parents to a job interview. Who would do such a thing? And finally, YaYa Is that how you say it? Who cares? He’s dead. Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind of the October 7th massacre in Israel has been killed by the IDF. Our condolences go out to his loved ones. In your face sympathizers!Okay so the FBI has quietly changed its national crime statistics. And it’s not because Hunter Biden had a hot weekend. Originally, the FBI said violent crime fell in 2022 by 2.1%. But as John Lott at RealClear Investigations found out, the FBI has now revised those numbers. Apparently, the stats were more fudged than Brian Stelter’s fingertips. He’s fat. Instead of violent crime going down by 2%, it actually went up by 4.5%. That’s a bigger swing than the one Joy Behar installed over her bed. How else is she going to get up? FBI QUIETLY UPDATES CRIME DATA TO SHOW BIG JUMP IN VIOLENCE UNDER BIDEN-HARRIS ADMIN: ‘SHOCKING’Now, this 4.5% increase is on top of the already rising crime. But in an effort to gaslight us into thinking the tide was turning, they lied. There was more violent crime on top of the mayhem we already endured. The libs not only flunk math, but ethics as well. Up is down. Down is up. If libs ever started designing elevators we’re ******.Now, we got a lot of Dems watching and I want to make sure that they get it. Because for months they’ve told us violent crime has gone down since Biden was elected. Maybe they were confusing crime with his body temperature, but they told us that, like the railing around Joe’s toilet, his policies were making things safer. ABCs’ David Muir actually stopped Trump during last month’s debate to correct him on the crime stats. VIOLENT CRIMES HAVE INCREASED UNDER BIDEN-HARRIS ADMIN DESPITE DEMS’ DENIALS: EXPERTSo why did Muir do that? Perhaps it was Muir’s first threesome. And feeling left out, he was compelled to insert himself into the action. Such a weird joke. But he took it upon himself to debate the Republican, which happens in every debate. And it would have been fine if maybe he was right. But he wasn’t. But all the Democrats are telling is violent crime is down. They were wrong. It’s a weird phenomenon. Democrats claim crime is down, but every time there is a shooting in America, they call for more gun control. If the Dems could they’d want you to believe Tren De Aragua is a fancy brand of bottled water. It’s a gang. Fact is, Democrats have always lived in a fantasy world when it comes to crime. When it comes to fooling themselves, they’re as honest as Doug Emhoff telling a nanny, I’ll only put it in a little. Just look at this CNN panel the other day openly baffled that there’s such a thing as the Ferguson effect. No, the Ferguson effect is a real thing. The George Floyd effect is a real thing. CNN has covered this real thing before, which is proof that even their employees don’t watch their crap. Get this, the Ferguson Effect denier, Abby Phillip even wrote about it when she was at the Washington Post. Yet now she pretends she’s never heard of it. Why? The fact is, when you demonize police and punish them for doing their jobs violent crime goes up faster than my blood pressure does when I have to share an elevator with Judge Jeanine. So crime went up, not down. But Dems always get two different things confused. It’s the same problem they have with bathrooms. Which one gets potpourri and which one gets penises? And as always, libs who live in a bubble are always astonished when somebody bursts it. No wonder trust in legacy media is lower than Tim Walz’s sperm count. A recent Gallup poll found that only 31% trust the media to be accurate even a fair amount and 36% have no trust at all. So in the end, legacy media has no way to deal with facts. So they just shut it down like a public bathroom when they see Jerry Nadler approaching. They shut it down. Go. Nadler. Don’t go, Nadler. But they’ll shut you down and they shout you down. They need to strenuously reject reality because their worldview can’t survive contact with the truth. They’re like Kamala last night or Kamala every night. And they need to be so smug about it because otherwise the shame would crush them. Look, vote for whoever you want, but if it’s based on a bunch of lies, it’s not our fault for reminding you. In fact, you might say it’s our job. Maybe David Muir should give it a try.
