Trump’s promise to a mom of three at a grocery store as he gives her generous gift
A mother of three was surprised by a generous gift from former president Donald Trump while she was shopping at a local grocery store in Pennsylvania.
Hundreds of people lined up outside Sprankles Neighborhood Market in Kittanning, where Trump greeted shoppers and even gifted one woman some relief for her grocery bill.
“Here, it’s going to go down a little bit,” Trump said to the shopper.
He is then seen handing the woman, who is identified as a mother of three by his communications team, a $100 bill.

“It just went down 100 bucks,” Trump said.
“Thank you so much,” the woman replied.
“We’ll do that for you from the White House, alright?” Trump said as he waved goodbye and thanked everyone for their support.
Trump also supported the business by purchasing a large bag of popcorn.
“Oh, look, I gotta get some. We gotta get it,” Trump smiles while handing over the large bag to his team.
“My mom just got a bag of that actually,” a customer tells the former president.

“Is this stuff good?” Trump asked.
“She says it’s the best,” he responds.
“Is that the best? If it is, I’ll be sending, I’ll be in Washington D.C., hopefully in the Oval Office, I’ll send for popcorn,” Trump said.
The former president spoke with the owner of the grocery store who explained how inflation was affecting his business.

“We’ve honestly got the best crew in the world,” the owner tells Trump.
“So how do you do against the big stores?” Trump asked.
“You know, I’m very proud because every year we went up, except for the last three years because of this inflation. It’s exactly what you said, prices are up, but our sales are down so we’ve had to get super creative on how to use our space,” the owner explained.

“Prices go up, yet your sales are down,” Trump replied.
“Ya, so it’s been brutal. Thankfully, I have a great crew, a great staff, my family, we work together,” the owner added.
Trump is focusing his efforts on key swing states as the presidential race enters its final weeks.
Resurfaced video from 2018 shows VP Harris with disgraced actor, prompting criticism
Newly emerged footage shows then-Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., chanting “down, down with deportation” at a parade in Los Angeles in 2018 when she was pursuing more aggressively left-wing positions on immigration.
The video, obtained by Fox News Digital, took place at the 2018 Annual Kingdom Day Parade, where she was named Grand Marshal.
In the clip, she can be seen joining in with a chant of “up, up with education, down, down with deportation” as she chants along while also applauding and smiling.
HARRIS SHIFTS KEY POSITIONS ON BORDER, ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AS CAMPAIGN PROMISES ‘PRAGMATIC’ APPROACH
The video was first reported by the Daily Mail Online, which also noted that in the video is actor Jussie Smollett, who would eventually be convicted of falsely claiming to have been attacked by Trump supporters in Chicago.
Harris came to Smollett’s defense shortly after he falsely claimed he was attacked by Trump supporters, saying, “This was an attempted modern day lynching. No one should have to fear for their life because of their sexuality or color of their skin.”
Harris adopted left-wing proposals in her 2019 presidential primary campaign. She promised to expand the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) by executive order — which gives protection to illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. as minors.
She said she would eliminate age requirements on applications, and use parole authority to create a “parole in place” program to put those illegal immigrants on a path to citizenship.
Since becoming the 2024 presidential nominee, she has faced scrutiny over her role overseeing the root causes of the migrant crisis at the southern border — which led to her being dubbed the “border czar.”
She has also shifted some of her campaign positions, moving more to the center. Her campaign confirmed to Fox earlier this month that she changed her positions on a number of immigration and border-security policies, including decriminalizing illegal crossings and closing immigration detention centers.

A Harris campaign adviser told Fox that her positions have been “shaped by three years of effective governance as part of the Biden-Harris administration.”
The campaign says now that she is “continuing to ensure sufficient resources to enforce our laws and prioritize detention and removal for individuals who pose threats to public safety and national security, as well as ensure compliance with immigration proceedings and decisions, including removal.”

She has repeatedly backed the bipartisan Senate package that emerged from negotiations in the chamber earlier this year, which increases funding for the border, including ICE bed space, and a mechanism to limit asylum entries into the U.S.

“While Donald Trump is wedded to the extreme ideas in his Project 2025 agenda, Vice President Harris believes real leadership means bringing all sides together to build consensus,” spokesperson Mia Ehrenberg said in a statement last month. “It is that approach that made it possible for the Biden-Harris administration to achieve bipartisan breakthroughs on everything from infrastructure to gun violence prevention. As President, she will take that same pragmatic approach, focusing on common-sense solutions for the sake of progress.”
Singer says he’ll leave band if 1 million people vote for it following controversial concert
Arnel Pineda, the lead singer for Journey, was left devastated after critics panned his performance at the recent Rock in Rio festival in Brazil.
Pineda, 57, found a video circulating online which showed him having issues with his ear monitors and struggling to reach the right notes during the concert last week in Rio de Janeiro.
The vocalist, who has been with the band since 2007, was so affected by his performance and the criticism he received, that he offered up an online poll for fans to vote him out of the rock band.

“No one more than me in this world feels so devastated about this,” Pineda wrote on Facebook. “It’s really amazing how 1 thousand right things you have done will be forgotten just cause of THIS.”
Pineda noted, “Mentally and emotionally, I’ve suffered already, and I’m still suffering … but I’ll be ok.”

The “Don’t Stop Believin'” singer offered up a chance for fans to have a say in how the band would move forward after the upsetting show.
“So here’s the deal here now,” he wrote. “I am offering you a chance now (especially those who’s hated me and never liked me from the very beginning) to simply text GO or STAY right here.”
Pineda added, “If GO reaches 1million… I’m stepping out for good … are you game folks?”

He thanked “all of the fans and friends” who believed in him since “Day 1.”

Steve Perry, who was known as “The Voice,” left the band for good in the late ’90s after the group soared to popularity with hits including “Faithfully,” “Open Arms,” and “Wheel in the Sky.”
Following Perry’s exit in 1998, the band recruited Steve Augeri to fill his shoes. When Augeri departed the group in 2006 due to vocal issues, lead guitarist Neal Schon discovered Pineda, a Filipino club singer, while scrolling through YouTube videos.
Pineda was flown to the US from Manila to join the band in 2007.

Country’s 8-million person healthcare waiting list is a warning to the US, expert says
Experts are warning of a growing health care crisis in England, as millions of U.K. residents are waiting for medical attention.
As of July 2024, 7.62 million patients were on the waiting list for care, with 6.39 million in need of specific medical treatment, according to the latest Referral to Treatment (RTT) data from the National Health Service (NHS), England’s publicly funded health care system.
The average wait time for treatment is 14 weeks, but more than three million patients have been waiting for over 18 weeks — and it’s been more than a year for nearly 300,000 of them.
FATHER CREATED A DRUG TO SAVE HIS SON FROM A RARE DISEASE, NOW OTHER FAMILIES ARE DESPERATE TO GET IT
Dr. Marc Siegel, senior medical analyst for Fox News and clinical professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center, appeared on “Fox & Friends” to share his concerns about the situation.
“This is a huge warning for us,” he said.
“The National Health Service, which started in 1948 with the great idea to take care of everyone in England, is broken,” he went on.
MOTHER FRANTIC TO SAVE CLINICAL TRIAL THAT COULD CURE HER DAUGHTER: ‘THE TREATMENT IS SITTING IN A FRIDGE’
“We’re talking about nearly eight million people there who are waiting for health care … many more than 18 weeks. How could you wait 18 weeks if you’re having a heart problem or you have an infection?”
Although the problem is not as extreme in the U.S., Siegel warned that it can be a struggle to get timely care stateside.
“Even here … 26% of the people in the U.S. are waiting more than two months for their health care already,” he told Fox News.

“Even people who are getting it from their employers are waiting.”
As far as what is causing the delay in care, Siegel said, “The first problem is that Kamala Harris and others are talking about coverage all the time — but coverage doesn’t mean care.”

“You’ve got your coverage, you’ve got your insurance, maybe you’ve got public insurance — almost 50% of the U.S. already has Medicare or Medicaid — but do you have a doctor? Do you have access to the care you need? That’s the question, and that’s [being] obscured.”
Siegel added, “We’re heading toward a time of personalized solutions, which are very exciting, but they’re expensive.”
The doctor also discussed the potential problem of illegal immigrants using medical services, which could delay American citizens from seeing their doctors.
“Illegal migrants homeless on the streets, with illnesses that are spreading, flooding the emergency rooms — that’s going to be a greater and greater problem, whether you give them health insurance or not,” Siegel said.
“But if you give them health insurance, that breaks the bank.”
Decades-long investigation reaches stunning conclusion for boy abducted at 6 years old
An Oakland, California woman’s perseverance paid off after a decades-long investigation helped reunite her family with her uncle, who was abducted from a park in West Oakland in 1951, according to reports.
The East Bay Times first reported the story about Luis Armando Albino, who at the age of 6 was playing at Jefferson Square Park near Seventh Street with his older brother Roger on Feb. 21, 1951.
That day, the publication reported, a Spanish-speaking woman offered to buy him candy and lured Albino away from the park before abducting and taking him to the East Coast, where he was raised.
The woman who abducted Albino, according to family members who spoke with FOX 2 in San Francisco, has since died.
CALIFORNIA CULT LED BY ‘MASTER MANIPULATOR’ COMMITTED BRUTAL MURDERS, DETECTIVE SAYS: ‘ONE BODY AFTER ANOTHER’
Albino’s niece, 63-year-old Alida Alequin, spoke with FOX 2 and shared details about the story of her missing uncle, even after efforts to find him had been made by the Oakland Police Department and FBI.
Alequin said her family never gave up trying to find Albino, nor did she.
In fact, in 2020, she took an online DNA test “just for fun,” and matched with a man on the East Coast.
The test Alequin took showed a 22% match with the man who turned out to be her uncle.

After learning of the match, she tried to find out who the man was and reached out, though she never received a response.
“My daughter found a lot of pictures of this man, and we started comparing,” Alequin told the station. “The resemblance was so strong… how much he looked like my other uncles. And then another picture where he looked so much like my grandmother, that one gave me chills, and I said, ‘there’s something here.’”
Albino was ultimately found and provided a DNA sample. Also providing a DNA sample was Alequin’s mother and her uncle, Roger.
The DNA samples were compared, and it was confirmed that Luis Albino was their missing relative, family members told the station.

The information was provided to the Oakland Police Department, which was forwarded to the FBI. Oakland police said Alequin’s investigation “played an integral role in finding her uncle,” adding that “the outcome of this story is what we strive for.”
Last week, police said the missing persons case for Luis Albino was closed, though the kidnapping is still under investigation by the FBI and police.
Investigators reportedly questioned Albino’s brother Roger multiple times, though his story about a woman wearing a bandanna on her head taking her brother remained unchanged.
With the help of the FBI, Albino traveled to Oakland on June 24, 2024, with members of his family and met with Alequin, her mother and other relatives, the station reported.

The following day, Alequin took her mother and uncle – a retired firefighter and Marine Corps veteran who served during the Vietnam War – to Roger’s home in Stanislaus County, California.
“We didn’t start crying until after the investigators left,” Alequin told FOX 2. “I grabbed my mom’s hands and said, ‘We found him.’ I was ecstatic.”
The reunited family had a long and tight hug before sitting down and talking about the day of the kidnapping as well as what has happened since.

Albino eventually went home but returned in July for three weeks, marking the last time he would see his brother, who died in August.
Alequin told the station the two brothers were making up for lost time. She also said her uncle did not wish to speak with the media.
University ordered to pay $4M to coffee shop forced to close over pro-police views
Boise State University administrators owe a coffee shop owner $4 million after a jury unanimously ruled the school officials violated the woman’s First Amendment rights in a conflict over her public support of law enforcement.
The jury awarded Big City Coffee owner Sarah Fendley $3 million for lost business, reputational damage, mental and emotional distress and personal humiliation, in a decision reached Sept. 13. Jurors awarded her an additional $1 million in punitive damages from the school’s former vice president of student affairs.
Fendley originally sued the university for $10 million after she closed her campus shop in October 2020, according to local reports, arguing administrators conspired to retaliate against her for expressing pro-police views on social media.
BLUE LINE GETTING THINNER IN WEST COAST STATES AS POLICE TAKE REFUGE IN IDAHO
A lawyer for the administrators denied any retaliation, and accused Fendley herself of trying to get the university to infringe on students’ speech rights.
Big City opened an on-campus location in September 2020, on the heels of the nationwide police reform protests that followed George Floyd’s killing in Minneapolis. Fendley’s support for law enforcement — she displayed a thin blue line sticker near the door of the shop’s downtown Boise location — immediately stoked anger among student activists, according to the suit.
“I hope y’all don’t go there if you truly support your bipoc peers and other students, staff and faculty,” one student posted on Snapchat after the shop opened. The acronym BIPOC stands for Black, Indigenous and people of color.
A screenshot of the post was shared with Fendley, who responded to it with her own public Facebook and Instagram posts explaining her support for police, the Idaho Statesman previously reported. At the time, she was engaged to a former Boise police officer who had been paralyzed in a gunfight with a fugitive.
University administrators hastily called a meeting with Fendley, worried about the social media “firestorm” her post had created, according to the suit. Defendant Alicia Estey secretly recorded much of the meeting, the Statesman reported, but the recording cut off before the conversation ended, and both sides disputed the outcome.
THIS RED STATE IS BECOMING AN ‘EXPAT’ COMMUNITY FOR FAMILIES FLEEING WESTERN LIBERAL BASTIONS
Fendley claimed the university terminated her contract because of her support for police, a move her lawyer said clearly violated her free speech rights. Hours before the meeting started, administrators were working on a press release about the business leaving campus, Fendley’s attorney Michael Roe said, making it clear they had a single outcome in mind.
“Senior administration at BSU caved to a very small number of student activists,” Roe told Fox News Digital.
Big City’s campus shop closed four days after the meeting, the Statesman reported.
But Estey, who took the stand as the last witness before closing arguments, told jurors, “We didn’t retaliate against [Fendley] at all.”
“She made a choice to leave, which was her choice to make, there was no retaliation,” Estey said, according to a KTVB report.
HARVARD, COLUMBIA RANK LAST IN NONPROFIT’S 2025 COLLEGE FREE SPEECH SCORECARD
Boise State’s attorney Keely Duke argued Fendley was actually the one seeking to suppress speech. Fendley wanted administrators to use the student code of conduct to punish students for expressing views she disagreed with, Duke argued, adding that administrators remained neutral throughout the conflict.
“The First Amendment protects everyone,” Duke said in court. “It protects Fendley’s right to express her support for the thin blue line. It also supports, though, anyone’s right to not support Big City Coffee.”
Jurors deliberated for about three hours before unanimously siding with Fendley.
Duke did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but local outlets reported the administrators plan to appeal the verdict to the Idaho Supreme Court.

Trump says he’s calling up Communist foreign leader with order if he wins election
Former President Donald Trump said Monday afternoon that his “first call” if re-elected to the Oval Office will be made to Chinese President Xi Jinping to enforce a trade deal from the end of his tenure as 45th president.
“My first call, I’m going to call up President Xi. I’m going to say, ‘You have to honor the deal you made. We made a deal. You’d buy $50 billion worth of American farm product.’ And I guarantee you he will buy it. 100% he will buy it,” Trump said Monday during a campaign event in Smithton, Pennsylvania.
Trump struck a trade deal with China in 2020 that included Beijing’s commitment to halt intellectual property theft, refrain from currency manipulation, cooperate in financial services and purchase an additional $200 billion of U.S. products over two years, including up to $50 billion of U.S. agriculture.
In return, the U.S. vowed to reduce tariffs on some products made in China, but keep duties the White House has imposed on $375 billion worth of merchandise.
US, CHINA SIGN HISTORIC PHASE ONE TRADE DEAL
The deal was dubbed the “phase one” trade agreement and came amid the U.S. and China’s 18-month trade war.
“Biden and Harris, they’re never going to enforce anything… That group is a disaster. It’s a disaster for our country in so many ways, but certainly the farmers are one of those ways,” Trump said of the current administration and the deal.
The 45th president joined a panel of farmers on Monday afternoon as part of a Protecting America Initiative event, which is a group led by Trump’s acting director of national intelligence Richard Grenell and former New York Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin that works to prevent China from infiltrating U.S. “farmland, food supply, education system, energy production, manufacturing chains, and our national security.”
WHY ‘PHASE ONE’ CHINA TRADE DEAL DOESN’T NEED CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL, UNLIKE USMCA
Trump added that in addition to calling on China to honor its 2020 trade deal, he would tell Xi to enforce a death penalty on fentanyl dealers sending the fatal drug to the U.S. via the Mexico border.
STOCKS CELEBRATE PHASE ONE TRADE DEAL WITH RECORD HIGHS
“Second thing I’m going to do is, I’m going to say you have to give the death penalty to your fentanyl dealers who are sending fentanyl. You know, in China, they give the death penalty. They don’t have a drug problem because they give the death penalty,” Trump said.

“But I’m going to say, second thing — and this affects you also, it affects everybody,” Trump told the panel of farmers. “… We’re losing hundreds of 1,000s of people a year. Comes through the southern border. Now, the weakest border in history. It was the best border we ever had when I was there. We built hundreds of miles of wall and everything else, and it was the best border. Now it’s a weakest. I had a handshake deal with him, it was going to happen very quickly, and then this side didn’t, didn’t do anything about it, he said. And he suggested to me, ‘Anybody sends fentanyl to the United States, it’s the death penalty. They get the maximum penalty.'”
“He would have done it. Then we had an election that didn’t exactly work out too good,” Trump added.
Trump was joined by Grenell, Zeldin, Republican Senate candidate to represent Pennsylvania Dave McCormick and other political supporters for the Pennsylvania event.
