An Italian chef in Australia was fired after refusing to put pineapple on pizza, calling the controversial topping an "insult to his culture," according to a labor dispute group's report.

Davide Tamburella was fired from La Costa restaurant in Brisbane in May after management raised several workplace concerns, including his refusal to prepare ham-and-pineapple pizzas for customers, according to a ruling from Australia's Fair Work Commission.

Tamburella acknowledged it was the third time in four years he had refused a direction to put pineapple on pizza, according to reports.

The latest dispute reportedly involved a customer who had requested ham-and-pineapple pizzas.

Tamburella, however, stood his ground.

As an Italian, putting pineapple on pizza was an "insult to his culture," Tamburella told the commission, according to the ruling.

But La Costa owner Elliot Ingram said on social media that there were a "multitude of different factors" that went into the decision to fire Tamburella.

"There's more to this story than just pizza toppings," Ingram told 7 News in Australia.

Ingram said he raised concerns about Tamburella's foul language, communication style and "escalation of frustration in the workplace."

"Look, I'm more of a pepperoni guy myself, to be honest," Ingram said, pointing out that pineapple on pizza is "very common" in Australia.

"At the end of the day, we're not in Italy. We're in Australia," he said.

The dispute quickly spilled onto social media, where commenters debated whether culinary tradition should trump a customer's order.

"What a hill to die on," one person wrote on Reddit.

"Your work serves the item on the menu. You either agree with it and work there or don't agree and don't," another commenter argued.

Others defended the controversial topping itself.

"Pineapple rules supreme," one person declared.

Another commenter compared the situation to a chef refusing to accommodate other diners' preferences, writing, "But he's not the one eating it."

Tamburella challenged his dismissal before the Fair Work Commission, but his application was rejected because it was filed outside the required 21-day period. The commission therefore did not rule on whether the dismissal itself was justified.

La Costa has since closed after its lease expired, while Tamburella reportedly found work at another Italian restaurant in Brisbane.

Pineapple, perhaps fittingly, does not appear on its menu.

The Major League Wrestling (MLW) star has been on a tear in the company this year. He stepped up when he was called upon to be one-half of the tag team champions with Donovan Dijak and he scored a pinfall on world heavyweight champion Killer Kross in a tag team match.

Their heated feud will culminate in a Last Man Standing match at Saturday Night SuperFight this weekend in Chicago with the MLW World Heavyweight Championship on the line. Bishop expressed confidence he will be able to keep Kross down for the 10 seconds he needs to become the new champion.

"I'm pretty confident," he told OutKick Dropkick in a recent interview. "You're right, I have been on a tear. I beat Kross already, so, I mean, putting him down for 10 seconds, I already put him down for three, and then honestly, he was laying down for probably an extra five minutes, just holding his ribs, crying in pain. Screaming for Scarlett (Bordeaux). They cut it from the stream, they cut it actually from the show, they cut it, he was laying down for so long, they actually brought out medical staff to stretch him out.

"So, I mean, I just think it's 1, it's Exit 187 through a table again, same as the last time and Kross ain't getting up, and I'm leaving with the MLW Heavyweight Championship."

Bishop and Kross met earlier this year for the title.

Kross brutalized Bishop as he stripped the ring and choked out his opponent to keep the belt. But he vowed that this time, things will be different.

MLW'S COURT BAUER TOUTS 'HUGE YEAR' FOR COMPANY AMID MEDIA DEALS, SPLASH MOVES

"I will be the last man standing. There's nothing he can do to keep me down," Bishop said. "Last time, he hit me with a low blow, threw me off guard, then suplexed me through a bunch of tables and chairs. And that was horrible, but I got up and I was crawling around after, and then he choked me unconscious. I just can't let him choke me out, that's it. You just can't choke me out, but you're not gonna be able to, because I'm gonna put you through a table first."

As Bishop continues to get more opportunities in MLW, his popularity has risen within the pro wrestling world itself. Bishop, for some, represents the next generation of tall heavyweights who are likened to the earlier days of pro wrestling when big men ruled the ring.

Bishop told OutKick Dropkick he isn’t even close to his prime level just yet.

"I'm not even close to getting started in how I feel, honestly. I feel like I haven't even began to even hit my prime," he said. "I'm not even 30 yet. I think I have so much left in the tank, and I think I have so much more good tricks up my sleeve and things I can't wait to show going at the end of 2026 and into 2027, and just continue this momentum.

"And yes, I have gotten a lot of momentum this year, and it is great to see me start to get more of that internet, I guess, respect or whatever that internet community kind of whatever, because I've never really played to or cared about that kind of stuff as much. So, it's nice to kind of see that, and then I'll just continue to build upon that and just keep the snowball rolling, and just continue to grow it and just keep this momentum going past 2027, past 2028, past 2029, just continue to keep going. Saturday, once I become the MLW champion is gonna be a good way to end 2026."

Kross became the MLW world heavyweight champion at Battle Riot VIII in February, eliminating Matt Riddle last. He’s held the title for more than 250 days since then and has vanquished everyone who has tried to take that gold off of his waist.

It’s not going to be easy for Bishop to keep someone like Kross down, but if anyone can do it, he has proven already that he can.

Saturday Night SuperFight will take place at Cicero Stadium and can be seen on Veeps at 8 p.m. ET.

Russia played a larger role in the Iran war than previously disclosed, with internal defense industry documents revealing how Moscow built up the country's arsenal ahead of its conflict with the U.S.

A Russian contract is tied to 90 launchers for precision-guided missiles with the destination as Tehran, according to documents obtained and published by Ukrainian defense intelligence research group Dallas Analytics offering new details on the extent of Moscow's military support for Iran before war erupted.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly downplayed Russia's role in the conflict — as recently as last month, saying that he did not believe they are helping Iran "at all."

IRAN TAPS FINANCIAL LIFELINE, RUSSIAN ARMS AS TRUMP ESCALATES 'CRUSHING' ECONOMIC WARFARE

Russian production records show components were allocated for 90 APU-L twin-rail launchers under a contract identified as "K-10," with shipments within the Russian production chain scheduled from late 2024 through December 2025.

Other internal Russian documents obtained by Dallas Analytics explicitly identify "K-10" as Iran. An October 2022 supply request for equipment for a Yak-130 aircraft lists the consignee as "'K10' Iran" and was countersigned by the acting head of the Russian Defense Ministry's 704th Military Representation.

The K-10 designation can also be traced to Russian military hardware that ultimately reached Iran. An internal Russian production schedule listed six Yak-130 aircraft for a consignee identified as K-10. Iranian state media later showed the aircraft entering service in September 2023, and Dallas Analytics said the tail number of one Iranian Yak-130 matched the number listed for K-10 in the Russian factory records.

The APU-L launchers are designed to carry Russia's LMUR, a precision-guided missile also known as Product 305 or the Kh-39. The roughly 230-pound missile carries a 55-pound warhead and can be guided in flight by an operator using an electro-optical seeker and two-way radio link.

FOREIGN LEADER ON PUTIN’S DOORSTEP SOUNDS ALARM OVER IRAN FUELING MOSCOW’S WAR MACHINE

Iran had already publicly announced plans to acquire Russian Mi-28 attack helicopters, one of the platforms capable of carrying the weapon. The first export-variant Mi-28NE helicopters were photographed in Iran in January 2026.

The paperwork also shows involvement by Russia's Defense Ministry. A May 2024 letter accompanying the K-10 production schedule was co-signed by the head of the ministry's 123rd Military Representation.

The documents do not establish whether the completed launchers ultimately reached Iran, though Dallas Analytics told Fox News Digital the contract itself is "a very strong proof" of the transfer.

SATELLITE IMAGES MAY HAVE TIPPED OFF IRAN BEFORE US BASE ATTACK, TOP REPUBLICAN WARNS

The findings add new detail to a military relationship the Trump administration has repeatedly played down during the war. U.S. intelligence has assessed that Russia provided Iran with information on the location of American military assets and, more recently, satellite imagery and weapons components, according to reports.

But administration officials have said that support has not materially affected the U.S. campaign.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Russian assistance was not impeding U.S. military operations, while Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has said the U.S. was tracking Moscow's support and accounting for it in its battle plans.

The Trump administration has separately sought to disrupt Iran's foreign weapons procurement as Tehran works to rebuild its military capabilities.

The Treasury Department has targeted networks it says helped Iran seek weapons and components abroad, including efforts to acquire Chinese-made man-portable air-defense systems.

Just this week, the State Department sanctioned a Russia-based individual it said was involved in efforts to help Iran procure Chinese-made man-portable air-defense systems, or MANPADS.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House, State Department and Department of War for comment.

Just one week after pulling off a surprise victory over incumbent Republican Rep. Tim Moore in North Carolina’s 14th Congressional District race, Democrat LaKesha Womack is set to appear in court on a pending felony charge.

Womack secured 51.1% of the vote in the House race, while Moore received 48.9%, according to election results reported by The Associated Press.

The Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office previously confirmed to Fox News Digital that Womack had been served a criminal summons on Oct. 11 by a deputy with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office on a pending felony charge alleging she failed to return a rental vehicle valued at $20,000 in 2019.

The criminal summons was issued in January 2020 but not served until 2026, according to WBTV. Womack is set to appear in court on Nov. 10, The New York Post reported Thursday.

REDISTRICTING EFFORTS BLOW UP IN REPUBLICANS' FACES AMID HISTORIC HOUSE LOSSES

Womack previously acknowledged failing to return the rental car on time, saying she was experiencing homelessness at the time and was unaware that a criminal case had been filed against her.

"This historic victory is bigger than me. It is a testament to the power of ordinary people who believe that their voices matter and that leadership should be rooted in service, accountability, and opportunity for all," Womack told Fox News Digital in a statement on Friday. "As a Black woman, a single mother, an entrepreneur, and someone who has spent more than two decades helping communities grow, I understand both the challenges people face and the possibilities we can create together."

DEMOCRATS SEIZE HOUSE CONTROL IN STUNNING BLUE TSUNAMI, VOW RETRIBUTION AGAINST TRUMP ADMIN

"We didn't just make history in North Carolina's 14th Congressional District; we opened the door for a new generation of leaders who listen, learn, and lead for the people," she continued.

When asked about facing the felony charge on Friday, Womack declined to comment to Fox News Digital.

Under North Carolina law, the charge is a Class H felony that can carry a prison sentence exceeding two years, depending on the defendant's criminal history and other sentencing factors.

Under House rules, members formally charged with a felony punishable by two or more years in prison are expected to step aside from committee assignments and party leadership positions while the charges remain pending, a provision that could become relevant to Womack once she takes office in January.

Moore's campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

"My opponent needs to explain these pending felony charges to the voters of North Carolina District 14," Moore wrote in an Oct. 28 post on X. "With a court date literally the week after the election this is a big deal."

New England Patriots star running back TreVeyon Henderson announced that he recently had an "unusual" medical emergency that left him hospitalized for several days.

The 24-year-old said the medical emergency involved a series of unexplained neurological symptoms that affected some of his physical functions. Henderson said the cause of the issue remains unknown and unexplainable.

"Recently, I experienced an unexpected and unusual medical emergency involving a series of unexplained neurological symptoms that required hospitalization for several days. During that time, I underwent extensive medical testing and evaluation. While the results of my comprehensive medical testing have come back positive and reassuring, the cause of this remains unknown and unexplainable," Henderson said in a statement on X.

"I will continue working closely with specialists and physical therapists to focus on my recovery, as these symptoms have affected my strength, coordination, and some of my physical functions. I am committed to doing everything necessary to return to full health. My health and long-term well-being remain my foremost priorities."

Henderson thanked his wife for being by his side with him and said the couple is deeply grateful for the support of their family, loved ones, the Patriots organization and everyone who has offered prayers and encouragement.

"Most importantly, I want to thank Jesus for giving me a peace that surpasses all understanding. Despite all of this, my heart rejoices in The Lord and my heart is at peace knowing that He is always faithful and His promise of Romans 8:28 always remain true. 'And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.' The purpose of trials in life is not to drive us away from God, but to only bring us closer. May God’s Will be done, not mine," Henderson said.

The running back had been listed on the Patriots' injury report with an illness, but the extent of the illness was not known until now.

The Patriots running back is in his second season with the team after being selected in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Ohio State. In six games this season, Henderson has 52 carries for 203 yards and a touchdown and has caught five passes for 45 yards. As a rookie last season, he ran for 911 yards and had nine touchdowns to go along with 35 catches for 221 yards and a receiving touchdown.

College basketball is back in action tonight, and we've got quite a few games on the schedule. Most teams have already played one game, and many are already on their second or third. We've already seen some upsets, some blowouts, and some tight battles. College basketball is one of my favorites, especially in the early season because the lines are usually a bit softer. There are just too many sports and games for the books to have an edge everywhere. One game I think we have an edge in is between UConn and Michigan.

UConn comes into the game having beaten Gardner-Webb in their season opener. That was a bit of a joke because they won that game by 40 points. As expected, Braylon Mullins led the way with 20 points, and he was efficient from deep, hitting four of nine threes. It is hard to judge just how this team will use their minutes because that game saw virtually everyone get into the action. Their starters played roughly half the game, but Colben Landrew, Oskar Giltay, and Junior County all played about half the game as well from off the bench.

As is normally the case for a Dan Hurley team, the Huskies are going to be a high-tempo offense looking for easy buckets or open threes. They will have solid rim protection, and they will be a good rebounding team. However, there are some warranted questions about just how good this team will be. I'm not sure that they have a true go-to scorer. Perhaps that's better at this level, because they can have more diversity from their scorers instead of relying on just one guy. Solo Ball is out for the season, so they will need to figure out how to replace his production.

UCONN, KANSAS AND TEXAS OFFER THE BEST COLLEGE BASKETBALL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP ODDS VALUE

Michigan has undergone quite a bit of transformation after last season. They hoisted the national championship trophy, lost multiple players to the NBA, and then lost their head coach, also to the NBA. Roddy Gayle Jr. will be a solid scoring guard for them and should provide some strong veteran leadership. Gayle scored 17 points in just 25 minutes of basketball in Michigan's first game, hitting a solid 64% of his shots. Trey McKenney is another returning guard for the club. He had 17 points in the opener as well.

That wasn't a very comfortable win for the Wolverines. The team played Oakland, and they won by 16 points, but it felt like the Wolverines had to work harder than usual to keep Oakland from coming back in the game. They ended the game with four guys in double figures. It should be interesting to see how good the team can actually be. Last year, they blew everyone out, and they seemingly scored 100 points every game. It wasn't that easy, but under Mike Boynton, I do have questions about this offense. He is a defensive guy who worked under May.

DUSTY MAY SHARES HIS EXCITEMENT FOR MAVERICKS JOB AFTER JUMPING FROM COLLEGE TO PROS

This is an early-season test for both of these teams. UConn is ranked 4th in the country, and Michigan is ranked 16th. The last time these two teams played was in the national championship last season. Michigan won that game and took away a chance at a third championship in four years for UConn. I think the Huskies have a couple of edges here. The Huskies are -7.5 tonight, and I think they will cover. They are playing this game in Boston, which is much closer for UConn fans. It should feel like more of a home game. The other thing is that I think the Huskies want a bit of revenge after losing in the national championship last season. Also, the women's UConn team lost last night to Michigan, so the men's team may try to avenge that one as well.

On a night when Democrats made major gains across the country, South Dakota emerged as one of the few Republican strongholds where the GOP largely held its ground — even as Democrats made inroads around Sioux Falls.

Republican Gov. Larry Rhoden won roughly 63.5% of the vote Tuesday, nearly matching President Donald Trump's 63.4% performance in 2024. Republicans also swept the state's other statewide races and maintained overwhelming control of the legislature, despite Democrats picking up four seats.

Rhoden's victory came against Democrat Dan Ahlers, who described himself as a "conservative Democrat" and campaigned on affordability, rural healthcare, education and other kitchen table issues. But his moderate pitch did little to narrow the GOP's commanding statewide advantage, with Ahlers finishing at just 36.5% of the vote.

South Dakota's results stood in contrast to several other deeply Republican states where the GOP maintained control but saw its margins shrink considerably. In Idaho and Wyoming, Republican gubernatorial candidates won comfortably but finished with smaller shares of the vote than President Donald Trump secured in 2024. South Dakota's gubernatorial result, by comparison, remained virtually unchanged.

DESANTIS CALLS GOP MIDTERM LOSSES 'EXTINCTION-LEVEL EVENT' — AND EXPLAINS WHY FLORIDA SURVIVED

David Jolly, the Democratic nominee in Florida, ran a campaign with similar themes to Ahlers' — pointing to the fact that he used to be a Republican and, like Ahlers, prioritized affordability and healthcare while on the campaign trail. Jolly cut the GOP’s vote share to just 50%, roughly six points below the party’s 2024 presidential performance. Tennessee's Democratic gubernatorial nominee inflicted a similarly sharp cut on Republicans' margins by employing a similar strategy.

Even down the ballot, South Dakota Republicans largely held their ground, though Democrats managed to flip four legislative seats in the Sioux Falls area, marking their first legislative gains in the state since 2008.

The losses were concentrated around the state's largest city, where a growing population and a less conservative political landscape have created more opportunities for Democrats, according to University of South Dakota political scientist Julia Hellwege. Opposition to large data-center projects also resonated with some voters in the area, according to a local Democratic official.

"South Dakota Republicans did well because we took on the issues that mattered to the people of our state and delivered real results for them," South Dakota's Republican House speaker, Jon Hansen, told Fox News Digital. "The bottom line is that we ran on tackling the issues that mattered to people, and then we delivered real results for the people on those issues. Not just talk, not just excuses, but real solutions. It’s what our people deserve, and it’s what we delivered for them."

FOX NEWS VOTER POLL: 2026 MIDTERM ELECTIONS USHER IN A BLUE WAVE AS DEMOCRATS WIN CONTROL OF CONGRESS

Hansen pointed to property tax cuts enacted by the legislature, regulations aimed at preventing utility costs from rising amid data center build-outs, curbing corporate eminent domain and balancing the state's budget, among other efforts, as crucial in the South Dakota GOP's success on Tuesday night.

South Dakota’s unemployment rate has been hovering around 2% since last September, roughly half the rate of the United States at large. Average wages also increased by about 4% in the state over the course of 2025. All of this occurred as South Dakota remained one of the most affordable states in the country, though rising rent costs outpaced wage growth in 2025, according to data collected by Realtor.com.

At the federal level, Republican Sen. Mike Rounds cruised to victory with 60.5% of the vote, though the GOP wasn't entirely immune to the national shift. South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley won the state's at-large congressional seat with roughly 64% of the vote, down from the 72% fellow Republican Dusty Johnson secured in 2024.

South Dakota's relatively modest legislative losses stood in sharp contrast to other Republican strongholds. In Texas, Democrats flipped 21 GOP-held state House seats, while Republicans in New Hampshire were on track to fall from the 222 House seats they won in 2024 to just 107.

DEMOCRATS SEIZE MAJORITY OF GOVERNORS’ OFFICES IN ELECTION-NIGHT SHIFT

Republicans in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina and Michigan all lost control of at least one chamber of their state legislatures on Tuesday night.

"Those Republicans who lost on Nov. 3 did so because their actions (or inaction) didn’t match their promises to voters. We didn’t have that problem in South Dakota under our leadership," South Dakota's GOP House Majority Leader, Rep. Scott Odenbach, told Fox News Digital.

John Eisenberg, the head of the National Security Division at the Department of Justice, is stepping down from his post, becoming the third senior DOJ official to resign since the midterm elections.

Shortly after Fox News learned of Eisenberg's resignation, Attorney General Todd Blanche announced it on social media.

"He has served with distinction, strengthening our nation’s ability to address threats, both foreign and domestic," Blanche said. "Under his leadership, the Division advanced President Trump’s mission to make America safe by prosecuting terrorists and working with our law enforcement partners to disrupt planned attacks on the American people."

This was Eisenberg's second stint serving under President Donald Trump. In Trump's first term, Eisenberg was an assistant and deputy counsel to the president, as well as a legal advisor to the National Security Council, which advises presidents on foreign policy matters.

DOJ CIVIL RIGHTS CHIEF HARMEET DHILLON RESIGNS, SAYS WHITE HOUSE ASKED HER TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER MIDTERMS

Less than an hour before Eisenberg's departure was made public, Blanche announced the resignation of Jason Reding Quiñones, the U.S. Attorney for Florida's Southern District.

Quiñones was perhaps best known for securing an indictment against Raúl Castro, the former president of Cuba who took over after his brother Fidel Castro's nearly 50-year reign.

Raúl Castro, now 95, was indicted for his alleged role in the 1996 shoot-down of two unarmed civilian aircraft operated by Brothers to the Rescue, a Miami-based humanitarian group that searched the Florida Straits for Cuban migrants in distress. The four U.S. nationals aboard the two planes were killed.

"We are grateful for Jason’s leadership in combatting violent crime, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and transnational crime," Blanche said. "Jason has served the Department multiple times over his distinguished career, and we thank him for his service to this country."

DOJ LAUNCHES CRIMINAL PROBE INTO SUPREME COURT LEAK THAT EXPOSED RULING OVERTURNING ROE V WADE

The departure of Eisenberg and Quiñones came just a day after Harmeet Dhillon, who headed up the DOJ's Civil Rights Division, announced she'd be leaving as well.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Dhillon said she attempted to resign three weeks ago but was asked by White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles to stay until after the midterms.

Dhillon moved to Washington following the deaths of her husband and father to "serve my country," but after roughly two years in the administration, she said it was time for her to leave.

Dhillon shifted her office's priorities toward issues including DEI and race-conscious policies, religious discrimination, transgender participation in women's sports, Second Amendment rights and election integrity.

In the lead-up to the midterms, Dhillon defended the Trump administration's investigation into noncitizen voters. She was also in charge of the DOJ's effort to send more than 1,000 election monitors to all 50 states.

- Google expands voluntary buyouts to 5 countries as AI spending fuels cost cuts

NOT IN MY BACKYARD: Voters across at least 10 states delivered a sweeping rebuke to data center expansion in Tuesday's midterm elections, backing restrictions and rejecting development proposals amid growing concerns about electricity costs, land use and the rapid buildout of artificial intelligence infrastructure.

PROFIT PRESSURE: U.S. stocks plunged Thursday as investors dumped AI stocks, but market experts say Wall Street's concerns go beyond a single bad day.

POWER STRUGGLE: President Donald Trump has thrown the federal government's weight behind massive data center build-outs needed to power the country's artificial intelligence (AI) boom. But a historic Democratic sweep in Texas has put one of the nation's biggest AI infrastructure hubs under new political leadership, raising questions about the future of billions of dollars in planned investments.

CORPORATE TRIM: Google is extending its buyout program to selected workers in five additional countries as the company looks for ways to control expenses while pouring money into artificial intelligence programs.

ON HIS FEET: Former Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is joining the artificial intelligence company OpenAI in a national security-related role, the organization announced on Monday.

OPINION: The key objective in economic warfare is to do more harm to your enemy than you do to yourself, and President Donald Trump is doing what every American president should do: putting America first and making sure the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) cannot use our own resources against us.

OUT OF SIGHT: Ever handed someone your phone or let them use your computer to show them something, then suddenly worried about what else they might see? Maybe you've been using ChatGPT to work through a personal issue or plan a surprise for someone. Your conversation history can reveal quite a bit.

NEXT CHAPTER: Democrats' takeover of both chambers of Congress in the midterm elections drew mixed reactions from investors and business leaders Wednesday, with some anticipating greater economic stability and others warning of increased scrutiny of artificial intelligence and data center development.

UNDER THE MICROSCOPE: The midterm elections ushered in Democratic majorities in both the House and Senate for the next two years, along with state-level gains that could shake up oversight of artificial intelligence (AI).

AI LANDMARK: At the opening of the world's largest energy conference in Abu Dhabi, artificial intelligence took center stage alongside oil and gas as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman joined senior UAE officials for the announcement of a major partnership aimed at bringing advanced AI into the energy industry.

OPINION: The race for artificial intelligence (AI), or superintelligence, will be won not just by technology companies, but by the nation that can deliver reliable, affordable and secure electricity. America is in a high-stakes sprint to lead the world in AI. This technology will reshape our economy, strengthen national defense, transform manufacturing and determine which nations lead the next generation of innovation.

Hollywood has seen its fair share of high-profile breakups, but Jen Lilley says the secret to her nearly 20-year marriage has nothing to do with fame, fortune or romance.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, the "Jimmy" star credited putting Jesus first with helping her and her husband get through some of life's most challenging moments.

For Lilley, the secret isn't a Hollywood-approved relationship trick or a carefully guarded marriage formula.

WILLIE ROBERTSON'S FAITH-BASED ADVICE THAT'S KEPT HIS 34-YEAR MARRIAGE TO WIFE KORIE STRONG

"This is just something that I can say for me personally. You know, maybe it's not the secret for other people, but we both, we have a really strong faith," Lilley told Fox News Digital.

"And I think that for us, keeping Jesus at the center of our marriage has really been what has gotten us through extremely difficult times," she said.

Lilley said her commitment to faith also influences the roles she takes in Hollywood.

CHRIS PRATT SAYS HIS FAITH WILL BE 'THE MOST IMPORTANT THING' THAT HE PASSES ON TO HIS KIDS

While many actors chase the next big opportunity, Lilley says no role is worth sacrificing for her brood.

"I think the values that I hold onto are actually common to most people, but I really value my family. I will make decisions based on the well-being of my own children and my marriage, even when sometimes it's not what I want," she said.

"There have been times I've had to turn down a role or something because it just doesn't fit what I need in this season."

"The values that I've carried are just really making sure that you're loving your family and your neighbor well," she added.

Lilley married engineer Jason Wayne in 2007, and the couple share four children, including two sons adopted through foster care and two daughters.

In her latest project, the actress portrays Gloria Stewart, the wife of Hollywood legend Jimmy Stewart, in the biopic "Jimmy."

While preparing for the part, Lilley discovered a love story that went far beyond the glamour of Hollywood.

TIM ALLEN REVEALS THE ONE THING THAT HAS SAVED HIS NEARLY 20-YEAR MARRIAGE TO JANE HAJDUK

"I think what surprised me the most was just how much they enjoyed each other's company their entire lives," she told Fox News Digital.

Jimmy Stewart, once dubbed Hollywood's eternal bachelor, found lasting love with Gloria, who brought two sons from a previous marriage into their relationship. Stewart adopted the boys, and the couple later welcomed two daughters together.

But their marriage faced challenges that went far beyond Hollywood.

Lilley said Stewart returned from serving in World War II with symptoms she described as consistent with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), at a time when the condition was not yet formally recognized under that name. 

She described Gloria as the actor's emotional anchor — someone who could navigate Hollywood's elite social circles but also provide a safe haven when the cameras stopped rolling.

Lilley told Fox News Digital portraying Gloria also gave her a fresh perspective on what keeps a marriage standing when life gets messy — trust, laughter and having someone who feels like home.

"I think what made their marriage really work was the fact that they did have so much trust with each other, and they had a lot of humor," she said.

"I mean, I think that if you don't have a sense of humor, good luck getting through life. You know, life has a perfectly adequate way of knocking you back down often."

The lesson hit close to home for Lilley, who said the Stewarts' relationship reinforced the importance of finding laughter even during difficult seasons and being a dependable source of comfort for a spouse.

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., plans to reintroduce articles of impeachment for Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth next week. The chances are increasingly high that the House could in fact impeach Hegseth.

Why?

Massie tried to impeach Hegseth before the midterms. But the House adjourned a day early in September, nixing Massie’s effort. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., condemned the effort by Massie. But insisted that he didn’t send members home early because of fear that the House had the votes to impeach Hegseth.

So Massie’s articles of impeachment expired. But he will reintroduce them next week. Under the rules, the House must consider them within two days.

THE HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE TO MASSIE SAYING JOHNSON IS SENDING THE HOUSE HOME EARLY TO PREVENT HEGSETH IMPEACHMENT

It’s possible the House could move to table the articles, or send them to committee, euthanizing the effort. But a growing number of House Republicans have grumbled about Hegseth. Any effort to dismiss the articles in the House might not work.

It’s about the math.

All Democrats are likely to vote to impeach. There are some Republicans who have said privately they’d like to impeach. Now, after the midterms, you have more Republicans hoping to build distance between themselves and President Trump. Moreover, the war in Iran contributed directly to the GOP’s thumping. So even more Republicans may be willing to impeach. Finally, the GOP may have attendance problems. Members who lost — or were shocked that they lost — might not show up. In other words, there may be more Democrats in the House next week than Republicans.

Don’t forget that some Republicans are now looking for a scapegoat after the election.

DEMS SEIZE THE SENATE AS BLUE TIDAL WAVE CRASHES DEEP INTO TRUMP COUNTRY, TOPPLES GOP STRONGHOLDS

A simple majority is necessary to impeach.

Then the House would send the articles of impeachment to the Senate.

Under Senate rules of impeachment, the Senate must at least receive and consider the articles. But it could move quickly to dismiss. That’s what happened when the Senate considered articles of impeachment for former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas a few years ago. The bona fide "trial" part of the process never happened where the Senate heard arguments, listened to witnesses and took evidence.

It takes a simple majority to dismiss such articles. Again, this could happen under a Republican-controlled Senate. But how might outgoing Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, Thom Tillis, R-N.C., and Bill Cassidy, R-La., vote? 

That’s to say nothing of Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, John Curtis, R-Alaska, Todd Young ,R-Ind., and others.

STATE OF PLAY: BLUE WAVE SWEEPS DEMOCRATS INTO POWER, WITH KEY RACES STILL HANGING IN BALANCE

It takes a two-thirds vote to convict and remove in a Senate impeachment trial.

In addition, unlikely legislation, articles of impeachment carry over into the new Congress. Would a new Democratically-controlled Senate want to get bogged down in an impeachment trial from the start? Especially when new Democrats want to vote on affordability and health care?

Or, would a Democratic Senate embrace the idea of a full-blown impeachment trial for Hegseth – especially since the execution of the war in Iran seems to be one of the main reasons for this week’s electoral shellacking?

We put another win on the board in the NBA last night with a narrow victory in the Magic vs. Suns game. I probably should've just taken the Suns to win the game, because that was an easy victory. However, I won't complain about a win. There were only two NBA games last night, and tonight we have nine on the schedule. One that stands out to me is the game between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers.

The Portland Trail Blazers are arguably the most impressive team in the early season. Coming into tonight, the team is 6-1 with a 5-0 record on the road this season. They were a solid team last season, mostly due to the advancement of Deni Avdija. Last year, he averaged 24.2 points per game, which was seven points more per game than he had averaged in any other season. This year he is at 23.4 points per game, but he has also maintained his rebounding and assist outputs from last season as well.

Coming into the season, I was a bit skeptical of the Trail Blazers. The team was going to be deep at guard, but I wasn't sure how effective the combination would be. Damian Lillard, Scoot Henderson, Jrue Holiday, and Ja Morant (Morant is out) seemed like they wouldn't be able to mix together. At least in the beginning of the season, I've been wrong about that. The team is deep, plays defense, and doesn't seem to have any issues with the offense. Lillard, in his return to Portland, has been outstanding, averaging 20 points in just under 30 minutes.

GRIZZLIES TRADE JA MORANT TO TRAIL BLAZERS, ENDING TUMULTUOUS TENURE IN MEMPHIS: REPORT

It shouldn't be a surprise that the Los Angeles Lakers are one of the better teams in the league. They moved on from LeBron James in the offseason, which isn't exactly a good thing, but doesn't appear to be a bad thing either. It has certainly opened up Luka Doncic to cook even more on offense. He is averaging an absurd 38.5 points per game this year on almost 50% shooting. Doncic is also averaging eight assists per game, but that's also coming with five turnovers per game.

The rest of the team has found some good balance as well. Austin Reaves remains a solid second option, and Walker Kessler has been an awesome addition to the team. He is averaging 14.4 points per game on 72% shooting, 10.2 rebounds per game, and 2.7 blocks per game. The rest of the team is mostly role players, but that hasn't mattered so far. The Lakers are 7-2 for the season with losses coming against the Warriors on the road, and the other to the Trail Blazers at home.

This is a revenge game for the Lakers. As good as Portland has been this season, I don't think this is a great spot for them. They've been on the road for a few games, and they've won them all comfortably, but they have a game tomorrow at home. I like fading teams on the last game of a road trip, and the Lakers won't want to lose twice to this team. I expect a good effort from them. Give me the Lakers -2.5.

Federal investigators have recovered part of an engine from the Learjet that slammed into the ground Sunday in Greenacres, Florida, killing all nine people aboard.

Crews started excavating the site Wednesday, once utility workers had drained water and cleared other hazards, the National Transportation Safety Board said Thursday. The Learjet 60 left Austin-Bergstrom International Airport around 10:37 a.m. Sunday, bound for North Eleuthera Airport in the Bahamas. Just before 1 p.m., it plunged into Palm Beach County, killing everyone aboard.

Once digging began, investigators uncovered a portion of one engine, officials said, noting that debris had also turned up on the roofs of nearby homes and buildings.

Earlier in the week, investigators recovered the left tail elevator, which controls the jet's pitch, in three separate pieces, one of them nearly four miles from where the Learjet 60 went down.

National Transportation Safety Board member Thomas B. Chapman called the part a "very important piece of evidence" when he spoke to reporters Tuesday.

"Even small pieces of the wreckage may contain important evidence that could help investigators determine what happened," the agency wrote on social media.

At approximately 41,000 feet, an air traffic controller notified the flight crew that moderate precipitation was located five miles away and indicated they could deviate either left or right, noting the turn toward Freeport in the Bahamas "looks pretty bad."

The crew was subsequently directed to proceed to a waypoint near Naples, Florida.

A short time later, after making a deviation toward Palm Beach County, the flight crew indicated that weather conditions were deteriorating, reporting to air traffic control that there was icing and turbulence, asking the controller if there was a "better ride" ahead.

Austin tech entrepreneur Adam Robinson, 45, was killed in the crash alongside his wife, Helen Sharp, 40, their children, Emma, 4, and Charlie, 2, the children's nanny, Anita Maria Cetina, and couple Rachael Reed and Charmi Fehr.

The jet was equipped with a cockpit voice recorder, but investigators haven't found it and can't yet confirm it was on board when the plane went down, NTSB officials said.

Michigan voters approved a ballot initiative called Proposal 2, pitched to them as a way to curb pay-to-play donations and get money out of politics. But the measure has also triggered a federal First Amendment lawsuit alleging its separate speech and disclosure provisions could ensnare journalists, nonprofits and policy researchers who discuss elected officials.

Michiganders for Money Out of Politics, also known as MOP UP Michigan, said the lawsuit was expected after voters approved Proposal 2. Campaign manager Maura Cowley said the group is "confident Proposal 2 will withstand legal scrutiny" after organizers said they submitted more than 560,000 signatures to place the measure on the ballot.

The Mackinac Center for Public Policy, which filed the lawsuit, says it is not challenging the initiative’s central pay-to-play restrictions on political contributions from utility companies and government contractors. Its lawsuit instead targets provisions imposing reporting and disclosure requirements on certain communications that refer to candidates or "promote, support, attack or oppose" candidates or ballot questions, even without expressly urging voters to support or oppose them.

"Michigan voters deserve the freedom to research, debate, and report on the policies that shape their lives. But Proposal 2 is a Trojan horse: while it claims to target corruption, it would expose the Mackinac Center, its supporters, and ordinary Michiganders to criminal penalties and harassment simply for discussing public policy," Patrick Wright, the Mackinac Center’s vice president of legal affairs, said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital.

SURVEY REVEALS COLLEGE STUDENTS' GROWING INTOLERANCE FOR FREE SPEECH

Under Proposal 2, any person — not just a campaign or political committee — who makes "electioneering communications" aggregating at least $5,000 in a calendar year would have to file a report within 10 days. Additional reports would be required after each additional $5,000 in covered communications. The reports would include the dates and costs of the communications, candidates mentioned, vendors paid and information about donors who contributed more than $100 for the purpose of making the communications.

Proposal 2 defines "electioneering communications" as public messages — including broadcasts, print publications, mailings, telephone calls, internet communications and other forms of general public communication — that reference a clearly identifiable candidate, regardless of whether they contain express advocacy, within 100 days of a general election or 30 days before a primary or special election. The communication must also be targeted to the relevant electorate where the candidate appears on the ballot, according to the provision.

Mackinac argues the measure leaves important questions unanswered, including which expenses count toward the $5,000 threshold, what it means for a donor to contribute "for making electioneering communications," and how the state will determine whether a communication is targeted to the relevant electorate.

SUPREME COURT STRIKES DOWN LIMIT ON PARTY CAMPAIGN SPENDING IN COORDINATION WITH CANDIDATES

The Mackinac Center’s lawsuit also challenges Proposal 2’s expansion of the definition of an election-related "expenditure." The amended definition includes public communications that "promote, support, attack, or oppose" a candidate or ballot question, regardless of whether they expressly advocate for or against the outcome. Under the proposal’s revised committee definition, an organization that spends at least $500 on such expenditures could be treated as a political committee if the state determines the spending was intended to influence voters.

Brett Nolan, an Institute for Free Speech attorney representing Mackinac, told Fox News Digital that the new electioneering-communications reporting provision contains no express exception for neutral reporting, legislative voting records or policy research. Proposal 2 does retain an existing exemption for certain news stories, commentary and editorials from being treated as campaign spending, but Mackinac argues that exemption does not resolve the reporting requirements for electioneering communications.

Mackinac’s complaint points specifically to its MichiganVotes project, policy scorecards, a neutral policy brief about Proposal 2, magazines, radio programs, podcasts and public-policy events as examples of speech that could be swept up in the new requirements because those materials sometimes discuss elected officials or candidates.

GOP LAWMAKERS URGE SUPREME COURT TO STRENGTHEN FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTIONS FOR STREET PREACHERS

"The Supreme Court has said several times in recent years that disclosure mandates like this create an 'inevitable' chilling effect on free speech because the risk of political harassment (or worse) is so significant. The more costs we impose on those who want to exchange ideas and discuss public policy, the fewer of those people we will have," Nolan said.

"This law goes much further than addressing any interest the state may have in transparency about those who are funding campaigns and election advocacy," he continued. "The notion that the government has an interest in monitoring people who talk about public policy if they dare mention an elected official is antithetical to the First Amendment."

The lawsuit against Proposal 2 seeks to block the electioneering-communications reporting requirement and the political-committee rules as applied to Mackinac — not to overturn Proposal 2 in its entirety. The measure is set to take effect 10 days after the official declaration of the vote, and no later than Dec. 3, according to the lawsuit.

"This lawsuit is no surprise," Cowley said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "The corporations bankrolling our opposition have been gearing up for this lawsuit since Proposal 2 first qualified for the ballot, if not before."

According to MOP UP Michigan, besides curbing pay-to-play political donations, Proposal 2 is designed to close what the group calls an "issue-ad loophole" — the ability to discuss candidates or ballot questions without expressly urging voters to support or oppose them in order to avoid certain disclosure rules.

"Last night, Michiganders spoke loud and clear, voting to pass Proposal 2 with an overwhelming majority and delivering a resounding mandate to end pay-to-play politics and put power back where it belongs – with the people," Cowley continued. "The bottom line is that we are confident Proposal 2 will withstand legal scrutiny, and we were fully expecting and are prepared to take on this challenge."

DALLAS — Red states have quietly outpaced their blue-state counterparts in commercial real estate investment returns for years, according to a new study highlighting stark differences in state economic policies.

But sweeping Democratic gains in Tuesday's midterm elections — even in traditionally deep-red strongholds — are raising questions about whether those states can maintain their economic advantages as the political landscape shifts in the new year.

Mitch Flax, founder and chief investment officer of Net Equity Capital, told Fox News Digital his research was sparked by the observation that commercial real estate investors based in blue states were reluctant to invest in their own markets.

The findings underscore a broader economic battle playing out across the country as businesses and wealthy Americans relocate across state lines, bringing jobs, investment dollars and tax revenue with them while potentially leaving financial holes in the states they abandon.

CEO SAYS DOING BUSINESS IN STATE ‘SUCKS’ AS COMPANY HEADS TO TEXAS AMID CALIFORNIA EXODUS

"I had a large family office based out of Chicago who lives in California who said, we don't invest in real estate in blue states," Flax recalled.

Coming on the heels of the 2026 midterms, the study also raises questions about whether the state-level tax and business policies that have helped fuel growth in red states will remain intact as Democrats make political gains and begin to enact their agenda.

The encounter prompted Flax to examine nearly 24,000 commercial real estate transactions to determine whether political differences between states were associated with investment performance. Researchers used a proxy to estimate returns and classified states as red or blue based on their votes in the 2024 presidential election.

Flax attributed the performance gap identified in his analysis largely to differences in state-level business policies, arguing that those policies influence where companies relocate, jobs are created and, ultimately, where capital flows.

AMERICA’S NEXT ECONOMIC POWERHOUSE MAY BE RISING IN RED-STATE TERRITORY

The findings come as corporate migration toward lower-tax states rose in recent years, with Texas emerging as a major destination for companies relocating from costly coastal hubs.

Flax says that Texas is on track to be the next Singapore-style "tax haven" for companies, due to its policies attracting business and industry.

"We've all seen the movie ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ — get ready for Crazy Rich Texans, because that movie is coming," he said.

It's unclear how Tuesday's results will impact that prediction after Texas flipped a U.S. Senate seat blue with Senator-elect James Talarico beating Ken Paxton, who was backed by President Donald Trump, and Democrat Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa beating Republican Gov. Greg Abbott.

As Fox News Digital previously reported, a CBRE analysis found that 725 companies relocated their headquarters between 2018 and 2025. Dallas-Fort Worth led the nation with 111 relocations, followed by Austin with 88 and Houston with 31.

Meanwhile, the San Francisco Bay Area, a deep blue enclave, recorded a net loss of 163 corporate headquarters during the same period, as companies cited taxes, labor regulations and rising living costs among their reasons for leaving.

THIS STATE ISN’T JUST GROWING — ITS ECONOMY IS GETTING RICHER PER RESIDENT

Flax, however, also argued that population shifts and corporate relocations are symptoms of a deeper economic divide, with underlying business policies shaping investment decisions and determining where capital flows.

"Most of the large asset managers out there are underwriting population in this migration flow. But the reality is that's a symptom," Flax told Fox News Digital. "When you look at exactly what's causing it, it's pure structural business policy," he added.

Flax said those policies can trigger a ripple effect across the commercial real estate market as businesses relocate, workers follow and demand grows for housing, retail and office space.

"Migration is the symptom, but it's a cascade, right? So policy draws people and companies and then every kind of commercial real estate follows," Flax said. "Apartments follow migration, retail follows rooftops, office follows jobs, warehouse follows logistics."

New Zealand as a top choice.

While it's impossible to accurately map what might happen in the event of WWIII kicking off (I'd expect the worst), the problem with New Zealand is how is anyone going to get there?

It's not like airlines are going to be operational if missiles are flying across the globe, the grid is attacked and military aircraft need priority and the space cleared.

Could you take a ship? Good luck given how much naval activity will be going on. Sure, if you can get to New Zealand, it's probably a very solid option. Getting there will be next to impossible.
