Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott isn’t too pleased with the media’s invasion of privacy, it seems, when it comes to the complete demolition of his Texas home this week. In the lead-up Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions, Prescott fielded several football-related questions on Friday until one reporter decided to ask about the massive home renovations the NFL quarterback seemed to be doing at his home in north Texas.TMZ Sports first reported that Prescott had completely demolished his 9,000-square-foot mansion, with witnesses telling the outlet that he plans to rebuild a more modern set-up for his growing family. Photos obtained by the outlet showed Prescott watching the demolition. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMBut Prescott was clearly irked by the question, and coverage in general. “Rebuild what? What do you mean? I thought we were talking football.” After pressing the topic, Prescott voiced his frustrations. “I didn’t build that house. I’m excited for new beginnings. I think a lot of times, people are scared of change, and whether you’re changing something big or small, for you to create new beginnings, sometimes you’ve got to do that,” he began. COWBOYS CORNER: DAK PRESCOTT TURNOVER-PRONE? DEFENSIVE X-FACTORS? FEED ZEKE?”I’m super excited and blessed that I’m in a position to do so. I think it’s crazy the coverage that it got, just being frank. I’m trying to keep my personal life my personal life, build a home or place or have property that I’m about to raise a daughter and a family there that I truly don’t appreciate the drones, the extra videos, and honestly, the conversation about it. I’m super blessed to be able to at this point build what I want, enough said.” Earlier this year, Prescott and his girlfriend, Sarah Jane Ramos, welcomed the birth of a daughter. “When you wake up in the morning and see that baby, you understand responsibilities and everything I’ve always wanted for myself, but to want that for somebody else even more, it’s special,” Prescott said at the time, via FOX 4. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

HBO host Bill Maher suggested that Vice President Kamala Harris’ prospects for winning the 2024 presidential election aren’t looking too good less than a month out from Nov. 5.During Friday’s episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher,” the comedian commented on the state of the race, declaring that the fact that the Democratic Party is having to prod Black men into supporting Harris is a bad sign.”And I gotta say it’s not looking that great for the Democrats,” he said at the start of his show Friday night.KELLYANNE CONWAY: TRUMP VS. HARRIS: DON’T RULE OUT A ‘NARROW LANDSLIDE’He continued, “This is not a good sign, you know – when you have an African American candidate, you probably shouldn’t be having to shore up your support among Black men, but that’s what’s going on.”Harris’ challenges with appealing to Black male voters were especially pronounced this week when former President Barack Obama ripped into Black men during a campaign stop in Pittsburgh for not being as enthusiastic about Harris’ presidential bid as they were for his 2008 and 2012 political campaigns.”We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all corners of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running,” he said, elsewhere adding, “I’m speaking to men directly — part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”On his program, Maher mocked the fact that the campaign is going to deploy Harris’ running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., to speak to Black male voters directly.”Tim Walz is headlining a voter engagement event tonight with Black men. Who better to connect with young Black men than Tim Walz?” he asked.”Because apparently Michael Bublé was unavailable,” he quipped to raucous laughter.BATTLEGROUND DEM WARNS TRADITIONAL VOTING BLOC BEING ‘SPLIT’ IN 2024He added another punchline: “Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian’s like, ‘Hello?’”Maher then brought up Obama’s recent comments, saying, “Obama even came out yesterday to scold. You know, he was scolding. Well, I don’t know – last month at the convention, he was, ‘No scolding!’ Now he’s scolding. He was saying, ‘You gotta vote for Harris.’”He concluded the point with one last joke, stating, “But of course for some young – especially the younger Black men – it’s tough choice. Harris is African American but Trump has a sneaker line.”Later during the episode, Maher spoke to his guest panel, including conservative commentator Buck Sexton and CNN host Laura Coates, about the Harris campaign’s problems more generally.Reading from recent report on Harris’ polling, he said, “At this point in 2020, Biden – with far fewer resources than Harris has – was ten points ahead of Trump, and in 2016, Hillary was six up. And she is only 2.6 up. Pennsylvania – Biden was up seven at this point. She’s up one. Michigan – Biden was up eight and she’s tied.”Fox News Digital’s Joshua Nelson contributed to this report.

The White House on Saturday released a report from Vice President Kamala Harris’ doctor declaring her to be in “excellent health.” The report, which was previewed by a senior Harris campaign aide, comes as the 59-year-old Democratic nominee seeks to contrast herself with former President Trump, 79, who has not made recent health disclosures. “Vice President Harris remains in excellent health,” wrote her Army physician, Dr. Joshua R. Simmons. “She possesses the physical and mental resiliency required to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief.” VP HARRIS RELEASING DETAILED MEDICAL REPORT, CHALLENGING TRUMP TO DO THE SAMEAdvisers to Harris encouraged her office to release her medical history and health information to put a spotlight on Trump’s health and mental acuity, since the 78-year-old Republican nominee would be the oldest president at the end of his potential second term, according to a senior aide.President Biden, 81, withdrew from the 2024 presidential election in July amid pressure from the Democratic Party given concerns over his advanced age and visible fatigue. Since then, Democrats have sought to go on offense against Trump with what was once their election vulnerability. During an August interview with CBS News, Trump insisted that he would “gladly” release his medical records, noting at the time that he had a “perfect score” on a recent medical exam. He has not yet done so. The letter from Dr. Simmons calls Harris’ most recent medical exam in April 2024 “unremarkable.” The vice president has no major health issues and “maintains a healthy, active lifestyle despite her busy schedule,” including daily exercise. Harris eats a “very healthy diet,” does not smoke and drinks “only occasionally and in moderation,” according to her doctor.TOP 5 FRIENDLIEST MOMENTS FROM KAMALA HARRIS’ MEDIA BLITZ: ‘THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES’”Vice President Harris is a healthy 59-year-old female who has a medical history notable for seasonal allergies and urticaria,” the letter states. Urticaria is a common skin condition that can cause itchy, red raised bumps or welts to appear on the skin. It can be triggered by certain foods, medications or stress. Harris takes Allegra to manage her allergies and urticaria, and for the past three years she has undergone allergen immunotherapy (ATI).Other details from the report include that Harris is nearsighted and wears corrective contact lenses, that she has a family history of colon cancer (her mother died of colon cancer in 2009) and that she is “up to date on all preventative care recommendations, including colonoscopy and annual mammograms.” WHY TRUMP IS HEADED INTO ‘THE BELLY OF THE BEAST’: THE STREATEGY BEHIND HIS BLUE STATE STOPSThe decision to release Harris’ medical information comes after a New York Times report asserted that Trump has not been transparent with his own health, even after a would-be assassin’s bullet grazed his head at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania this past July.Trump did not release his medical records in his first White House campaign in 2016, the report notes. Neither did the Trump White House release accurate updates on his condition after a 2020 COVID diagnosis, with reports detailing that the president was more sick than his doctors said in public, according to the report.”In 2024, days before becoming the official Republican presidential nominee for the third time, he was grazed by a would-be assassin’s bullet, yet his campaign did not hold a briefing on his condition, release hospital records or make the emergency physicians who treated him available for interview,” the report said. It goes on to quote several medical experts who raise concerns that Trump could enter the Oval Office in a second term with several “potentially worrisome issues.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe last health update from Trump came in November 2023, when his personal doctor, Bruce Aronwald, said in a letter Trump’s “overall health is excellent.” “His physical exams were well within the normal range and his cognitive exams were exceptional,” Aronwald wrote.In response to a request for comment, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung pointed to the letter released by Aronwald and reports from former White House doctor Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, who treated Trump after the failed assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.”President Trump has voluntarily released updates from his personal physician, as well as detailed reports from Dr. Ronny Jackson who treated him after the first assassination attempt,” Cheung said. “All have concluded he is in perfect and excellent health to be Commander in Chief. He has maintained an extremely busy and active campaign schedule unlike any other in political history, whereas Kamala Harris has been unable to keep up with the demands of campaigning and reveals on a daily basis she is wholly unqualified to be President of the United States. Her schedule is much lighter because, it is said, she does not have the stamina of President Trump. Polls are reflective of this.”

Laws regarding squatters vary on a state-by-state basis. In California, ownership could be granted to a squatter who pays taxes on a property for five years through adverse possession and tenancy rights could be granted after 30 days.One of the latest squatter stories out of California was reported by Fox News Digital in September, after two Hollywood Hills mansions were overtaken. “I would like to apologize to the people of Los Angeles, and especially to my neighbors. What’s happened to the two properties I own is unacceptable, and no matter what caused it, I own the houses,” John Powers Middleton, film producer and son of Philadelphia Phillies owner John S. Middleton, previously said in a statement sent to Fox News Digital.WHAT ARE NEW YORK’S SQUATTER LAWS? LEGAL EXPERT SHARES THOUGHTS ON WHAT MORE CAN BE DONE TO PROTECT LANDLORDS”What’s happened to my property is criminal, and I hope everyone caught will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. No one in Los Angeles should have to put up with squatters and vandalism that are out of control,” Middleton also said. In March, Fox News Digital reported on a $5 million Beverly Hills home that was invaded by squatters. The real estate agent of the home called the police, but was told that it was a “civil matter” at play, as the squatters had what they claimed to be a rental agreement. Squatters providing false documentation isn’t uncommon. ALABAMA REALTOR SHOCKED WHEN SQUATTER GREETS HER AND POTENTIAL BUYERS AT HOME SHOWING”These squatters are very clever, and they will come up with fake leasing documents or a fake story about how someone let them in, the landlord let them in,” Daniel P. Phillips, a real estate litigation partner at Belkin, Burden and Goldman in New York, previously told Fox News Digital. Several California-based law firms note on their websites that after 30 days, ownership can not be granted to a squatter, but tenancy rights can be. Once a landlord provides a squatter with a written notice to vacate the property and they don’t leave, an unlawful detainer lawsuit has to be filed with the court. Trials often take several months to reach a conclusion.While squatters cannot gain legal ownership of a property after 30 days, they could gain ownership through adverse possession after five years of paying taxes on the property. ADVICE FROM PROFESSIONALS ON PROTECTING YOUR HOME AGAINST SQUATTERSAdverse possession, which has become known as “squatter’s rights,” is not unique to the state of California, but each state does have a different period of time and other requirements regarding when it could be claimed. Adverse possession doesn’t always relate to a squatter. It could also be claimed unintentionally, such as in the case where a homeowner puts up a fence to mark property boundaries, but accidentally dips into their neighbor’s land. The homeowner who constructed the fence could claim adverse possession of the land they built on. There are general requirements that are typical for each state, including the possession being open and notorious, but specifications like how long someone, such as a squatter, must be in possession of the land vary. In California, five years of occupation and payment of taxes is required, according to FindLaw.com. One California resident has done a deep dive into the squatter laws in the state to recognize how squatters are able to reside in homes and has created an extremely unique name for himself as the “Squatter Hunter.” HANDYMAN WHO TURNED THE TABLES ON SQUATTERS CLAIMS HE’S HACKED THEIR SYSTEM AND CAN HANDLE YOURS TOOThe “Squatter Hunter,” whose real name is Flash Shelton, dealt with squatters personally when his mother’s home was overtaken. When he reached out to law enforcement, he was told the matter was a civil one. After researching the laws, he flipped the script by using them in his favor. “I learned everything about squatters over the course of a few days… I figured out that if I could establish the rights [to the home] before them and I could switch places with them and become their squatter, then that would work,” Shelton previously told Fox News Digital.”It was just switching places with them, becoming their squatter, locking them out, putting up cameras and telling them that I would prosecute if they broke back in — [that] was enough,” he also said. Shelton’s story went viral on social media, and he now helps others who find themselves in a similar situation to the one his mother was in. He has also spoken about law changes he feels would help protect homeowners. “The states that are friendly to squatters — those squatters are just assuming tenant rights. So what we need to do is separate it out,” Shelton told Fox News Digital. “And if somebody enters a house illegally, regardless of how long they’ve been there, that should be a crime.”
