Ohtani’s record-breaking night overshadowed by teammate’s heroic blast in World Series
A sleeping giant finally woke up late Monday night on the West Coast and early Tuesday morning on the East Coast.
Freddie Freeman came to plate in the bottom of the 18th inning and hit a solo home run to give the Los Angeles Dodgers a World Series Game 3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, 6-5. He became the first player in MLB Postseason history to hit multiple walk-off home runs in the World Series. He did it in Game 1 last year against the New York Yankees.

The marathon could have been ended at any point between the 10th and 18th innings. The Dodgers had a great chance in the bottom of the 13th. Freeman came up to bat with the bases loaded and hit the ball as far as he could hit it before it was tracked down by a Blue Jays outfielder.
Toronto made a couple of risky decisions on the basepaths that led to outs. It was worth it at the time to try to end the game, but defensive plays from Tommy Edman and Teoscar Hernandez were able to shut down any hopes of a Blue Jays victory.
The game may not have even sniffed extra innings without the game from Shohei Ohtani.
Ohtani hit two home runs in a 4-for-4 night for the Dodgers. He reached base safely nine times, setting a World Series record. Ohtani is set to pitch in Game 4 on Tuesday night – less than 24 hours from when Freeman hit the home run.
“I want to go to sleep as soon as possible so I can get ready,” Ohtani told FOX’s Tom Verducci through an interpreter.

Dodgers reliever Will Klein also played a massive role in Los Angeles’ win. Klein pitched four innings of scoreless baseball and struck out five. He threw 72 pitches – the second most of the night behind starter Tyler Glasnow.
Hernandez started Los Angeles off with a solo home run off Blue Jays starter Max Scherzer in the second inning. Ohtani followed that up with his first home run of the night in the third inning. But those were the only two blemishes for Scherzer.
The veteran star pitcher locked in the record of the way home. He was hit for three earned runs on five hits in 4.1 innings.
Toronto struck back in the top of the fourth.
Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk hit a three-run home run off Tyler Glasnow to give Toronto the lead. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette scored on the dinger. Later, Andres Gimenez scored Addison Barger on a sacrifice fly.
An Ohtani RBI double and a Freddie Freeman RBI single tied the game in the bottom of the fifth. But Bichette singled home Guerrero to take back the lead.
Of course, Ohtani had a chance to make even more of an impact. With no one on in the bottom of the seventh, Ohtani hit a monster home run off Seranthony Dominguez to tie the game once again.

It was an 18-inning marathon from there, tying the mark for the longest game in World Series history.
Game 4 is set for later Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET on FOX.
Mass shakeup at ICE reveals bitter internal divide over deportation strategy
A mass shakeup of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) leadership is underway amid growing friction inside the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) over deportation tactics and priorities, according to four senior DHS officials.
The overhaul affects ICE field offices in at least eight cities and will replace many senior leaders with Border Patrol officials, marking an unprecedented power shift inside DHS and exposing sharp divisions over how far to go in ramping up deportations, the officials told Fox News.
The changes are being driven by competing camps inside DHS.
On one side are Border Czar Tom Homan and ICE Director Todd Lyons, who have advocated focusing on criminal aliens and those with final deportation orders.
‘DEFEND THE HOMELAND’: DHS UNVEILS STRIKING NEW ICE FLEET TO BOOST RECRUITMENT, VISIBILITY
On the other side are DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, senior adviser Corey Lewandowski and Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino, who have pushed for a broader and more aggressive approach, targeting anyone in the U.S. illegally to boost deportation numbers.
Two senior officials described the mood inside DHS as “tense” and “combative,” with some ICE leaders warning the new approach could erode public support and blur the line between ICE and Border Patrol operations.
“ICE started off with the worst of the worst, knowing every target they are hitting, but since Border Patrol came to LA in June, we’ve lost our focus, going too hard, too fast, with limited prioritization,” one senior DHS official told Fox. “It’s getting numbers, but at what cost?”
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ENDS AGE CAP FOR ICE POSITIONS IN MAJOR RECRUITMENT DRIVE
Another senior official put it bluntly, “ICE is arresting criminal aliens. They [Border Patrol] are hitting Home Depots and car washes.”
Border Patrol agents have defended the new strategy.
“What did everyone think mass deportations meant? Only the worst?” one agent told Fox News. “Tom Homan has said it himself — anyone in the U.S. illegally is on the table.”
ICE NABS 3-TIME DEPORTED ILLEGAL ALIEN CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING A POLICE OFFICER: ‘GOOD RIDDANCE’
The internal friction comes as deportation totals remain below targets set by the administration earlier this year. Officials told Fox News that the latest round of reassignments impacts ICE field chiefs in Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Denver, Portland, Philadelphia, El Paso and New Orleans — positions expected to be filled by Border Patrol and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials.
A separate DHS official confirmed the personnel changes, describing them as “performance-based” and designed “to move people around for the best results.”

DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement: “While we have no personnel changes to announce at this time, the Trump administration remains laser focused on delivering results and removing violent criminal illegal aliens from this country.”
Man caught yelling ‘Go back to Haiti!’ at Winsome Sears dealt another blow after firing
The man who went viral for lobbing racially charged insults at Virginia gubernatorial candidate Winsome Earle-Sears during a college football game earlier this month, subsequently filed a police report claiming he was getting harassed after the incident went viral.
The Fairfax County Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that it was aware of the police report that was filed and that, ultimately, the department’s threat assessment unit found that the information provided did not meet the criteria for a criminal investigation.
“Go back to Haiti!,” the man from the viral video yelled at Sears, a Republican, during a James Madison University football game earlier this month. “Traitor!”
After the incident, Sears clarified on social media that she is an immigrant from Jamaica, not Haiti.
WINSOME SEARS RESPONDS TO JMU FAN TELLING HER TO ‘GO BACK TO HAITI’ AFTER WEEKEND OF LEFTIST INVECTIVE
“I thought Democrats were supposed to love everyone,” Sears quipped at the time.
The man, identified by local news reports as Scott Pogorelc, from Centerville, Virginia, was also reportedly fired by his employer, a subsidiary of government contractor Lockheed Martin. A JMU football player by the same last name is a redshirt senior on the Dukes’ offensive line.
“We hold all of our employees and subsidiaries to the highest standards of integrity and professional conduct. Any behavior that violates our Code of Ethics will be thoroughly investigated and employees found in violation will be held accountable. Zeta Associates investigated the matter, and the individual is no longer employed,” said a statement from a Lockheed Martin spokesperson, according to Fox 5 DC reporter Allison Papson.
Meanwhile, Pogorelc is also a Democratic Party donor, according to Federal Election Commission filings and the Virginia Public Access Project. Abigail Spanberger, the Democratic candidate for Virginia governor running against Sears, was among those he has donated to.

The situation involving Pogorelc was not the first time Sears has faced racially insensitive remarks in recent months amid her campaign. In August, while speaking out against transgender bathroom policies outside an Arlington County school board meeting, a counter-protester held up a sign that read: “Hey Winsome, if trans can’t share your bathroom, then Blacks can’t share my water fountain.”
Following that incident, current GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin, who is facing the end of his term limit, blasted what he described as the “hypocrisy of the liberal left.”
“Winsome is so much bigger than this idiocy,” Youngkin wrote on X.

“This is wrong. [Winsome Earle-Sears] — and Virginia — deserve better,” added Republican Attorney General Jason Miyares in response to the sign. Miyares is running for reelection against Democratic Party candidate Jay Jones.
Putin’s inner circle ‘falling into paranoia’ as relatives rise in power ranks
Russian President Vladimir Putin is tightening his grip on power by elevating younger loyalists amid growing instability inside the Kremlin as he ages, according to reports.
On Sunday, The Telegraph reported that Putin, 73, who has ruled Russia for more than two decades, is “running out of cards to play” as pressure mounts both domestically and abroad.
The Federal Security Service (FSB) also opened a criminal case against exiled businessman Mikhail Khodorkovsky and 22 members of the Anti-War Committee of Russia, accusing them of plotting a seizure of power, per reports. Khodorkovsky spent a decade in a Siberian prison before founding the Anti-War Committee in 2022.
John Herbst, Senior Director of the Eurasia Center at the Atlantic Council and former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, told the U.K. outlet that “the Kremlin is falling into paranoia.”
PUTIN WARNS WESTERN TROOPS IN UKRAINE WOULD BE ‘LEGITIMATE TARGETS’
“All the people around him have started thinking about a world beyond Putin, so he has arranged his own elite in a really careful way, so there are no clear seams along which it would kind of rip apart,” Henry Hale, Professor of Political Science and International Affairs at George Washington University, told Fox News Digital.
“He also has members of his own family now that are starting to rise in the ranks. One of the ones that has gotten the most attention is Anna Evgenievna Tsivilyova, née Putina,” Hale said.
Tsivilyova, 52, is Putin’s first cousin once removed and currently heads the Defenders of the Fatherland Foundation, a state-run organization that supports Russian soldiers and veterans.
She has also served as chair of the board of the Kolmar Group, one of Russia’s largest coal companies.

“The younger people are being brought up by the older generation integrated seamlessly into the power pyramid,” Hale said.
“Putin is worried about what happens as he ages, and if you don’t provide some opportunity for younger people to rise up, you know, then the regime might come under some pressure.”
“These people can be trusted because they’re related to people close to Putin, and they can also be young and energetic. The younger people are being brought up by the older generation, integrated seamlessly into the power pyramid,” Hale added.
In 2023, Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin staged a brief mutiny, sending his fighters toward Moscow before abruptly standing down only to die weeks later in a plane crash.
Now, the Kremlin’s focus has shifted to silencing opposition abroad.
PUTIN ALLY WARNS ‘TITANIC EFFORTS’ ARE UNDERWAY TO SINK TRUMP SUMMIT OVER UKRAINE WAR
“Tensions remain within the elite and Putin wants to get rid of any possible risks,” Hale said. “The 2023 incident was a warning from Putin to his own elite, his own inner circle, not to dare try anything. Putin and his people are watching each other carefully and so don’t try anything funny,” Hale added.
Recently, western sanctions, less oil revenue, and war costs could push Russia toward recession.
The Treasury Department under President Donald Trump sanctioned Russia’s two largest oil producers, Rosneft and Lukoil, escalating pressure on the Kremlin to end its war in Ukraine.
According to reports, the Russian government could raise taxes and increase domestic borrowing to close the gap.
“Putin has weathered the main crisis that the full-scale invasion of Ukraine brought Russia, which was the initial shock of the invasion and its failure to take Ukraine in a matter of days,” Hale added.

“But war brings uncertainty and there’s a risk of disastrous defeat, underperforming expectations. All the people around him start thinking about a world beyond Putin.”
“That said, well, I think Putin’s regime is fairly stable at the moment,” Hale concluded.

SBA administrator says shutdown is having Democrats’ ‘intended effect’
Small Business Administration Administrator Kelly Loeffler says Democrats are having a “disgraceful moment” as the government shutdown reaches what she calls liberals’ intended effect of hurting small businesses.
The federal government approached its fifth week of a shutdown after lawmakers failed to advance the continuing resolution a dozen times, according to a previous report. Disagreements over Obamacare remain at the forefront, as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and other Democrats push to extend expiring Affordable Care Act premium subsidies, while Republicans say the issue should be addressed after the government reopens.
“Prior to this shutdown, as of September, small business confidence hit a seven-year-high, not since President Trump’s first term had small businesses felt so confident in the economy,” Loeffler told “Kudlow” on Monday. “That’s all thanks to President Trump’s economic agenda, which, by the way, is a supply-side agenda. … It’s free and fair trade. It’s low taxes. It’s deregulation. It’s access to capital.
“Because of their confidence, in 2025, the fiscal year we just wrapped up 27 days ago, the SBA broke through a 72-year lending record, surpassing $45 billion to 85,000 small businesses across this country,” she continued. “They were quite bullish heading into this shutdown, but look, this shutdown is having the intended effect by the Democrats. They want to hurt Main Street and that’s what they’re trying to do right now.”
REPUBLICANS, DEMOCRATS CLASH OVER EXPIRING OBAMACARE SUBSIDIES DURING ONGOING SHUTDOWN TALKS
Loeffler, who told FOX Business the shutdown has “real economic consequences,” criticized Democrats for trying to “inflict pain” on “Main Street.”
“It’s $15 billion a week,” she explained. “It’s shaving one to two tenths of a percent off GDP. It’s 43,000 jobs lost in a month, potentially, according to the CEA. And where do those expenses that lost $15 billion come from, the 43,000 jobs? From Main Street, from small businesses, who 20% say that they rely on federal government workers as their customers or federal agencies or federal contracting.”
Loeffler says she has agreed with DOGE since day one and revealed the agency has taken down its headcount by about 52%.
“We have done more with less, just like a small business would do, and we’re going to continue to look for efficiencies because just like any private sector company, you can see the headlines over the weekend, large companies having layoffs saying, ‘Actually, we do better with fewer employees. We created too much complexity. We need to ensure that we’re efficient,'” she said.

Democrats want big government that “stifles small business” and “crowds out innovation,” Loeffler argued.
“It’s important that we continue on with the DOGE efforts and being accountable to taxpayers,” she explained. “That’s what I’m going to do at the end of the year. I’m going to show taxpayers how accountable we were in this agency with their hard-earned tax dollars.”
Trump, Japan’s Takaichi sign rare earth deal to counter China’s hold
President Donald Trump and Japan Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on Tuesday signed a framework agreement for securing the supply of critical minerals and rare earths through mining and processing, the White House said.
The agreement came after Trump’s meeting with Japan’s first female leader, as part of his wider trip to Asia. Both Washington and Tokyo are looking to strengthen their supply chains for rare earth elements, which are used everywhere, from renewable energy to electronics and cars.
According to the White House, Japan and the U.S. plan to coordinate investment and policy efforts to develop more diversified and transparent markets for critical minerals and rare earth elements.
Within six months, Washington and Tokyo plan to identify and fund new mining and processing projects for key materials like magnets and batteries. The agreement also creates a joint “Rapid Response Group” to spot and supply vulnerabilities and coordinate emergency deliveries of critical materials.

Under the agreement, Japan and the U.S. will streamline and expedite permitting processes for critical minerals and rare earths.
The agreement also commits both countries to address foreign trade distortions and unfair market practices.
The White House said Washington and Tokyo would explore a joint stockpiling arrangement and work with other partners to strengthen supply chain security.
TRUMP CALLS XI’S RARE EARTH MOVE A ‘BAD MOMENT’ — WHY IT MATTERS FOR US NATIONAL SECURITY, CHINA TIES
Both governments said they’ll coordinate with “like-minded partners,” language seen as a nod to Australia and the European Union, as they try to build a market alternative to China’s near-monopoly over rare earth processing.
China currently dominates the global rare earths market, processing more than 90% of these materials. Beijing recently ratcheted up export curbs, including new elements on its control list and tightened oversight of foreign producers that rely on China’s materials.
During Tuesday’s meeting with Trump, Japan’s new prime minister called for a “new golden age” in the U.S.-Japan alliance and announced Japan will gift 250 cherry trees to Washington next year to mark America’s 250th anniversary.
The U.S., meanwhile, has only one operational rare earth mine and is racing to secure vital minerals for electric vehicles, defense systems and advanced manufacturing.

School shooting conspiracy uncovered after trans teen built ‘shrine’ to mass murderers
A transgender high school student in Indiana accused of plotting a Valentine’s Day mass shooting has reached a plea deal, pleading guilty to a single count of conspiracy to commit murder.
Trinity J. Shockley, 18, was charged in February in Morgan Superior Court with conspiracy to commit murder and two counts of intimidation to commit terrorism.
Shockley identifies as a transgender male and often goes by Jamie or Dex, according to authorities.
Court records show a plea agreement was filed Friday, with a hearing held Monday where Shockley pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder, a Level 2 felony. The two intimidation charges were dropped under the deal. Sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 24 at 10:15 a.m.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Morgan County Prosecutor’s Office for comment on the matter.
Under Indiana law, a person convicted of a Level 2 felony faces between 10 and 30 years in prison. The Indianapolis Star reported that Shockley’s attorney requested a sentence of no more than 12.5 years in prison and up to five years of probation.
As part of probation, Shockley must meet with mental health professionals, is prohibited from searching for school-shooting content and is barred from entering Morgan County school properties.

Authorities said Shockley’s alleged plan to attack Mooresville High School was uncovered when the FBI in Indianapolis received a tip and contacted the Mooresville Metropolitan Police Department. The FBI later said it “swiftly coordinated” with local officials to investigate.
The tip indicated that Shockley planned a shooting, had access to an AR-15 rifle and had ordered a bulletproof vest. It also said Shockley was infatuated with Nikolas Cruz, who carried out the 2018 Parkland school shooting on Valentine’s Day.
A search of Shockley’s home by the Morgan County Sheriff’s Department revealed a “shrine” to recent mass shooters, including Cruz, Dylann Roof, who killed nine people in a Charleston church, and Ethan Crumbley, who carried out the 2021 Oxford High School shooting in Michigan. Court documents said Shockley also kept a photo album and buttons featuring the shooters’ faces.

Investigators found notebooks in which Shockley identified as “Dex… a transgender male [who has] a lot of homicidal thoughts.”
“These thoughts never seem to stop, you may believe that I am some edgelord, but in reality, I am just a loser,” Shockley wrote in a Dec. 16, 2024 entry, according to court documents. “I am grateful for my chance to live but in reality, I am scared of living. Is it the government you ask? No. It is this sad reality of living with piece(s) of s—… I hope whoever reads this takes acknowledgment and maybe use it for your massacre. :)”
In January, Shockley wrote about wanting to harm others and said people needed to be “killed” and “wiped away from humanity.”

Authorities also uncovered Discord and Snapchat messages where Shockley, using the handle “Crazy Nikolaz,” described plans for “Parkland part two” and said, “I’ll be honest. I’m close to shooting mine up. I have an AR-15.”
Investigators said Shockley planned to carry out the attack at lunchtime “because that would present the most target-rich environment.”
According to court documents, Shockley later told police the plan was a joke.

“[Shockley] stated that [Shockley] wanted to recreate [what] Cruz did, but [Shockley] would never do anything like that,” the documents said. “It was said out of rage. [Shockley] is trying to get help with it. [Shockley] wanted to be in home school because of how bad the thoughts got…”
Shockley also told police about being bullied after being hit by a suspected drunk driver in September 2022. The crash left Shockley with a fractured skull and brain injuries, according to a WRTV report.

Detectives wrote that Shockley had sought mental health support from the school district, but the request was denied by Shockley’s father, who “did not believe in mental health treatment,” according to a school official.

“I do not like the guy at all,” Mitchell said. “The first thing for me was he didn’t release the Epstein files. They’re even acting like they didn’t exist. And, of course, they’re sending Israel and Ukraine all of our tax dollars just like the numb-nuts before him did. Putting America last, and now he’s blaming the beef farmers for the price of beef.

Yeah, go read it. Go read it.”
Mitchell said last year he would “take a bullet” for Trump as the president was campaigning against then-Vice President Kamala Harris for the White House. However, he labeled Tesla CEO Elon Musk as a possible Antichrist figure as well.

‘Things were getting really bad’: Country singer nearly quit music amid health struggles
HIGHLAND, California – Tim McGraw opened up about nearly quitting his career after dealing with a series of health setbacks.
The country star, 58, got candid about his struggles during his Saturday tour stop in Highland, California, at the Yaamava’ Theater.
“I’ve had four back surgeries and double knee replacements, just in the last couple of years,” McGraw, who is married to fellow artist Faith Hill, said on stage.
The “Blind Side” actor said right before his most recent back surgery this past spring, “Things were getting really bad,” with the star “getting depressed over it,” which made him consider walking away from his career.

“The doctor who did my double knee replacement is here tonight,” McGraw said.
The “Humble and Kind” singer asked his doctor to stand up for applause. “Dr. Chen, where you at? There he is!”
“And my wife has been going through quite a bit of surgeries – she’s had five neck surgeries, and she’s had a couple of hand surgeries. Her hand surgeon, Dr. Rose, is here tonight,” also asking him to stand up for applause.
“So, part one of that story. The reason I wanted to tell that part is because the doctors are here. The second part of that story, is, after going through all of that for a couple of years and getting depressed over it and all of those things — stuff not going right,” he explained.

“And this spring, before I had my final back surgery, things were getting really bad, so I was seriously contemplating and figuring out how to walk away. I didn’t want to, but I didn’t think it was going to get better,” the artist shared on stage.
“But it’s gotten better. So, during that process, I had this idea for this song that sort of dealt with facing age and facing all that stuff that comes along with it,” before singing the song he mentioned, called “King Rodeo.”

McGraw is set to hit the stage on Nov. 1 in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and perform three nights in Las Vegas at Caesars Palace in December.
In January 2025, McGraw stepped down from a Netflix rodeo series he was set to star and produce in, according to Deadline.
The “1883” actor reportedly needed back surgery and needed to recover, the outlet’s source reported at the time.
He was supposed to play a bull rider, a physically demanding role.
McGraw is no stranger to overcoming obstacles.
The “Live Like You Were Dying” singer has been sober since 2008, after battling alcohol addiction.
He credited Hill, whom he has been married to since 1996, for helping him overcome his addiction.
TIM MCGRAW SHARES WHY HIS BOLD NEW HAIRCUT IS HERE TO STAY
In 2021, McGraw told Esquire that he realized he needed help when he drank alcohol first thing in the morning.
“I remember a moment when I was getting out of bed and going to the liquor cabinet and taking a big shot at 8:00 in the morning and thinking, ‘I have to wake up the kids.'”
McGraw and Hill, who most recently celebrated their 29th wedding anniversary, share three daughters: Gracie, Maggie and Audrey.

“I went straight to my wife and said, ‘This is where I’m at.’ I was scared. She just grabbed me and hugged me and changed my life,” he recalled.
The country sensation said she told him: “‘You’re not scared of anything,'” to which he said, “‘Ehhh, one thing – I’m looking right at it now,'” referring to his wife.
McGraw and Hill first met when she opened for his 1996 Spontaneous Combustion Tour.
The couple married in October 1996 and have collaborated on songs and tours together.
They most recently starred together in the “Yellowstone” prequel series, “1883,” as James and Margaret Dutton — the great-grandparents of the Dutton family.
The series aired from 2021 to 2022.
