North Carolina Sens. Tills, Budd call for military leader to oversee Hurricane Helene response




Two Republican senators are calling for the Biden administration to appoint a military leader to lead the recovery effort in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, as some lawmakers continue to criticize the federal government’s response to the storm. In a joint statement, Republican Sens. Thom Tillis and Ted Budd, both of North Carolina, issued a joint statement Friday evening concerning the response operations.  BIDEN GETS DEFENSIVE WHEN PUSHED ON WHO’S ‘COMMANDING’ HURRICANE HELENE RESPONSE”Our National Guard and local, state, and federal first responders on the ground have been working tirelessly to respond to this disaster with the resources they have,” the statement reads. “Given the unprecedented extent of the devastation and complexity of search and rescue operations, it would be helpful to assign an active-duty military leader who has extensive experience with operations of this magnitude to lead moving forward.”The Biden administration has come under for a purportedly inadequate response to the devastation left by Helene. As of Friday, the death toll in southeastern states hit hardest by the storm has risen past 224, with more than 100 dead in western North Carolina alone. BUTTIGIEG’S MESSAGE ON RESTRICTING CIVILIAN DRONES NEAR HURRICANE HELENE DAMAGE PROMPTS OUTCRY, CLARIFICATIONThe White House has said that Biden has coordinated the federal response, including approving emergency declarations and deploying 1,000 active-duty soldiers to support search-and-rescue efforts. More than 4,800 personnel from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other agencies have been deployed to North Carolina and neighboring states impacted by Helene. FEMA Director Deanne Criswell was on the ground in North Carolina on Friday, saying the military was delivering food and water to residents from distribution centers. Additionally, FEMA has shipped over 8.5 million meals, more than 7 million liters of water, 150 generators and over 220,000 tarps to aid response efforts, according to the White House.As of Friday, the federal government has provided more than $45 million in Individual Assistance to survivors impacted by the storm, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, including in the form of one-time $750 payments from FEMA to qualified applicants in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. Fox News Digital has reached out to FEMA and the White House. Fox News Digital’s Chris Pandolfo contributed to this report.

JESSE WATTERS: Biden wanted ‘full credit’ for the port strike suspension

JESSE WATTERS: Biden wanted 'full credit' for the port strike suspension




Jesse Watters highlights how President Biden appeared in the White House briefing room for the first time right when Vice President Kamala Harris was about to speak on the port strike suspension in Michigan.BIDEN SAYS HE AND KAMALA HARRIS ARE ‘SINGING FROM THE SAME SONG SHEET’- AS SHE TRIES DISTANCING HERSELFJESSE WATTERS: It was the first time Biden ever set foot in the briefing room as president. The press was stunned. Peter Doocy’s wig fell off, and every channel in America cut straight to it.And Kamala Harris was about to go on TV and take credit for ending the port strike. And Biden looked and said, oh no, you don’t and big footed her. Biden wanted full credit. He’s a lame duck, but even lame ducks care about their legacy. If you’re the Harris campaign, it’s like Biden is haunting you from the grave. Since the coup, Biden hasn’t left his room for 43 days. He’s gone 43 days without anybody laying eyes on him. There’s a ghost in the White House. And in 15 minutes, that ghost spooked the Harris campaign. Biden just said Kamala is responsible for the last four years. That is gonna to hurt. Seeing Biden again brought back memories. Biden and the press were catching up on all of their favorite topics.

‘How much sleep is too much?’: Ask a doctor

'How much sleep is too much?': Ask a doctor




Sleep is known to have amazing health benefits – but how much shuteye is too much?The answer isn’t so straightforward, Dr. Chris Winter, a Virginia-based neurologist and sleep medicine specialist with Mattress Firm, told Fox News Digital.”This is to some degree an impossible question to answer,” he wrote. TO IMPROVE YOUR SLEEP, DO THIS ACTIVITY BEFORE BED, EXPERTS SUGGESTAs with food and other lifestyle factors, Winter explained that the ideal amount of sleep is a “dynamic range.””What is too much food for me might be an amazingly inadequate amount for an Olympic swimmer,” he said as an example.For the average adult, sleep durations exceeding 11 to 12 hours would be considered “too much” and would start “prompting questions about sleep quality and sleep consistency,” Winter said.‘NAPUCCINO’ TREND: CAFFEINE BEFORE A NAP COULD BE KEY TO BETTER SLEEPWhile getting too little sleep can cause many negative effects, an excess of slumber can pose risks like sleep inertia, which is the feeling of grogginess that occurs after sleeping in for too long.”For many individuals, it’s less about ‘too much sleep’ and more about compensatory sleep,” he said. “In other words, you got inadequate sleep during the week and are trying to ‘make up’ for the lost sleep on the weekend.”For more Health articles, visit foxnews.com/healthSleeping too much on a regular basis is more a reflection of “inadequate sleep quality” overall, Winter said.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTEREven so, the expert recommends catching up on sleep when there’s been a deficit.”Studies have shown that if you pay that sleep debt back quickly, it probably keeps the deficit from impacting your health,” he said.”While it should never be Plan A, making up lost sleep via napping or sleeping in, when possible, can be a good fallback plan.”Although some studies have suggested negative health outcomes from both inadequate and excessive sleep, Winter emphasized that it’s better to get too much sleep than not enough.”Trying to create consistency in sleep is important, too,” he said. “Sleeping a different seven hours every night is not nearly as healthy as sticking to the same seven hours night after night.”The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that adults get between seven and nine hours of sleep per night.

LAURA INGRAHAM: Democrats are ‘obviously concerned’ ahead of the election

LAURA INGRAHAM: Democrats are 'obviously concerned' ahead of the election




Fox News host Laura Ingraham says Americans are “ready to turn the page on a sad four years” on “The Ingraham Angle.” LAURA INGRAHAM: To review: The economy, the border, hurricane management, unrest in the Middle East, a stalemate at best in Ukraine, and then a Democrat ticket hiding from the press — all these factors should make this an easy Trump win.  TRUMP TARGETS BIDEN, HARRIS OVER FEDERAL RESPONSE TO HURRICANE: ‘INCOMPETENTLY MANAGED’ The Democrats are obviously concerned, and they didn’t really think, I don’t think, that Wisconsin would be this close, but it is. Even liberal Tammy Baldwin’s Senate seat is not a sure thing. So, in these final weeks of the campaign, expect a blitz of appearances by the Obamas and other celebrities, the usual suspects. They’re going to be trying to whip up enthusiasm for four more years of a figurehead president because if you’re out there and you think, you know, “Biden was so bad,” why on Earth would you think Kamala would be any better?  She’s just as inarticulate, but less experienced and more irritating. For all these reasons, at least right now, it seems like “MAGA rising” as America is ready to turn the page on a sad four years. That’s the state of the race.
