Panic at Pennsylvania festival as minivan plows into evening crowd

Three people, including a child, were injured Monday evening when a minivan plowed into a crowd at a festival in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, according to reports.

The three-day Kipona festival was ending around 6 p.m. when a woman in a red minivan drove around parked cars and barricades before striking the crowd, the Harrisburg Bureau of Police told a local ABC station.

Police said a child and two adults were injured. Mayor Wanda Williams noted that a 7-year-old boy was listed in critical condition as a result of the incident, the station reported.

The Dauphin County District Attorney’s Office told the station the driver of the van has since been taken into custody.

Local station FOX 43 reported that police were not aware of any life-threatening injuries.

Just before the crash, police were reportedly clearing the area because the festival was coming to an end. Venders were also packing up after being setup on the road the van barreled down during the chaotic scene.

Belichick’s college coaching debut turns into nightmare as TCU pummels UNC

Bill Belichick had a “welcome to college football” moment on Monday night, as his North Carolina Tar Heels were blown out by the TCU Horned Frogs, 48-14, to begin the 2025 college football season. 

It was a night filled with expectation, celebrity appearances and pure hype at Kenan Stadium, as Belichick’s first taste of being a college football head coach started on home turf in Chapel Hill. The Tar Heels were hoping to usher in a new era with a victory to not only notch another first under Belichick’s resume, but get the program heading in the right direction from the jump. 

The Horned Frogs had another thing in mind, though, as they were fazed by the screaming crowd of over 50,000, which included the likes of Randy Moss, Michael Jordan, Roy Williams, Lawrence Taylor and many more.

The Belichick era began with an impressive North Carolina opening-drive touchdown, as the Tar Heels went 83 yards down the field with Caleb Hood capping it with his first score of the season. 

But it was all TCU after that, scoring 41 unanswered points on their way to an easy victory. 

TOM BRADY DISHES ON THE ‘CHALLENGE’ FOR BILL BELICHICK IN 1ST SEASON AT NORTH CAROLINA

Horned Frogs quarterback Josh Hoover was dicing up the Tar Heels’ defense, and it started with a 27-yard strike to Jordan Dwyer, who was a favorite all night long in the pass game, for a touchdown that tied the game at seven apiece following the extra point. 

TCU got more physical on defense, especially at the line of scrimmage, which hindered what UNC wanted to do when they had possession. The Horned Frogs held them to three straight three-and-outs, while taking the lead with a field goal early in the second quarter. 

North Carolina seemed to get some momentum back when Hoover’s pass was too high for his intended receiver, and the Tar Heels’ Kaleb Cost made an acrobatic interception to flip the field. 

But UNC quarterback Gio Lopez gave the ball right back to TCU, and it was in the worst way as veteran safety Bud Clark jumped a route and took the interception 25 yards to the house for a pick-six that made it 17-7. The Horned Frogs would end the half with a short field goal, taking a commanding 20-7 lead into the locker room as the crowd was stunned. 

That feeling wouldn’t end, though, as the very first play of the second half was a 75-yard touchdown run by Horned Frogs star running back Kevorian Barnes, who went untouched down the right sideline to break the game open. 

UNC was unable to come back at that point, as the Horned Frogs continued to run up the score with running back Trent Battle rushing for 28 yards to make it 34-7, and Lopez was sacked by Jonathan Bax, leading his Horned Frogs teammate Devean Deal to scoop up the fumbled football and run it back 37 yards for yet another touchdown.

At that point, Belichick switched quarterbacks, going with Max Johnson, who led a touchdown drive late in the third quarter to add some points for the Tar Heels. But the game was out of reach, and it’s clear the Tar Heels have much to work on heading into next week. 

Meanwhile, Hoover showed out in front of many NFL scouts, going 27-of-36 for 284 yards with two touchdown passes and one interception thrown. Barnes had 11 carries for 113 yards, while Dwyer hauled in nine receptions for a whopping 136 yards to help TCU’s cause.

No one expected Belichick to immediately turn the program around and get them to compete for a national title, but this was a shocking result to be dominated at home to kick off his collegiate coaching career.  

Democrats are making a critical mistake — and voters are letting them know

No one protests more than a Democrat. I’ve watched the ritual a hundred times and lived it. Friends gather in parks with paint and markers. Group chats light up: “where to meet, what’s the route, loop here or there, lunch before or after.” In the first Trump term, if you lived in D.C., protest became background noise. Sit at a café on Massachusetts Avenue and a march would drift by at some point. The metric became volume, how loud you could scream, how much emotion you could muster.

I marched too. I walked the National Mall with friends for Black Lives Matter, chanting until my voice went hoarse. I told myself two things could be true: the police were there to protect our right to be present and the system had failed too many Black families. But then I waited — for the screaming at town halls to make people listen more, for the road blockades to convert attention into persuasion. And somewhere between all the signs and hashtags, things began to blur. One day it was emissions, the next it was health care, then DACA, then women’s rights. The emotional charge stayed high, but the focus was lost.

Meanwhile, we mistook visibility for victory. Year after year, we repainted the same slogans, shifted from one moral emergency to the next and policed one another’s language along the way. We argued over the newest required terms, prosecuted by association and offered little grace for mistakes. We admired the huge crowds in coastal cities and forgot the quiet sidewalks in places that actually decide elections. We celebrated noise and forgot that voting booths don’t measure volume.

DEMOCRATS URGED TO DITCH ‘PRIVILEGE,’ ‘LATINX’ AND DOZENS OF OTHER TERMS ‘ALIENATING’ VOTERS

In 2025, we’re now seeing where that road has taken us. At a school board meeting in Arlington last week, a protest meant to support trans students went sideways when one activist held up a sign comparing Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears to a Jim Crow segregationist. It was grotesque and counterproductive. That one image became the story. Abigail Spanberger, the Democrats’ gubernatorial nominee, publicly condemned the sign as “racist and abhorrent.” Meanwhile, Earle-Sears got more airtime and sympathy. The intended message was drowned out. No one talked about the policy debate. They talked about the sign. And the kids the protest was supposedly about? Lost in the noise.

This style of politics, what we used to call the movement, isn’t sustainable. And it’s not just anecdotal anymore. Third Way recently published a memo urging Democrats to drop 45 insider terms — things like therapy-speak, hypercorrect labels and academic lingo — that read more like passwords than politics. The authors weren’t trying to spark a censorship debate. They were pointing out the obvious: if your pitch can’t be understood without a glossary, you’re not winning anyone over. You’re just talking to people who already agree with you.

But the Third Way memo does something else that’s even more important. It quietly marks a shift in the party. We’re moving away from a politics centered entirely around emotional purity and moral performance. That doesn’t mean abandoning values. It means recognizing that emotional intensity isn’t the same thing as persuasion. That voters, especially working-class ones, are looking for clarity, stability and dignity — not lectures about their shortcomings. It means realizing that inclusive language is important, but performative inclusivity — adding every possible adjective to a sentence so you don’t get yelled at — doesn’t build coalitions. It makes people afraid to speak.

And the electoral data backs this up. In every one of the 30 states that track party registration, Democrats have lost ground to Republicans — roughly 4.5 million voters net between 2020 and 2024. You can blame maps, turnout or disinformation — but you also have to look inward. Here’s the hard truth: our candidates are often good. Our brand is not. Protest has turned into a kind of performance art. The louder we got, the fewer people felt welcome. Men found podcasts that told them they still had value. Disaffected young people found movements that offered them belonging without requiring a language test. Meanwhile, we just kept offering more outrage — mainly at each other.

The Democratic Party doesn’t need more signs. It needs more grown-ups in the room. It needs fewer people performing fury and more people building policy. It needs less group chat energy and more coalition thinking. People who know that the voter doesn’t want to debate terminology. They want the bus to come on time, their kid to read at grade level and their rent to stay under control.

We can still be the party of justice and fairness and opportunity, but we have to speak human again. We have to stop congratulating ourselves for showing up and start focusing on who’s still not listening. Because the truth is: the crowds are shrinking. The slogans are getting old. And the math that decides elections doesn’t care how cathartic you feel. It cares how many people you actually bring with you. That’s the only thing that counts.

Golden Globe winner abandons US for ‘freedom’ abroad as other stars vow to flee Trump

“House of Cards” actress Robin Wright touted fleeing the U.S. Saturday after finding her new home abroad more enjoyable.

“America is a s—show,” Wright told The Times of London.

The Golden Globe-winning actress has been working in the United Kingdom and spending time with her family.

“I love being in this country. There’s a freedom of self here. People are so kind,” she said.

She elaborated, “They’re living. They’re not in the car in traffic, panicked on a phone call, eating a sandwich. That’s most of America. Everything’s rush, competition and speed.”

Wright, 59, told The Times that she plans to rent a home on the English seaside with her family and dogs.

“It’s liberating to be done,” she said. “Be done with searching, looking and getting 60 percent of what you wanted.”

Wright isn’t the first Hollywood celebrity to speak poorly of living in the U.S.

‘STAR WARS’ ACTOR MARK HAMILL REVEALS HE CONSIDERED LEAVING THE US WHEN TRUMP WON REELECTION

Hollywood stars have repeatedly threatened to leave the country over President Donald Trump. 

Whoopi Goldberg, Miley Cyrus, Amy Schumer, George Lopez and others vowed to move if he won in 2016. More recently, Sharon Stone, Cher and Barbra Streisand said they would leave if Trump won again in 2024.

Only a few stars have followed through. Rosie O’Donnell as well as Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi announced they had left the U.S. following Trump’s re-election.

Wright is also known for “The Princess Bride,” “Forrest Gump,” “Wonder Woman” and director Zack Snyder’s “Justice League.”

She did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Entire Sudan village ‘leveled’ with only one survivor, rebel group claims

A devastating landslide struck Tarasin Village in Sudan’s Central Darfur on Sunday, Aug. 31, killing at least 1,000 people, according to a rebel group controlling the area.

The Sudan Liberation Movement/Army (SLM-A) said the horrific incident was triggered by days of torrential rainfall in late August and has “completely leveled the village to the ground.”

“Initial information indicates the death of all village residents, estimated to be more than one thousand people. Only one person survived,” the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army said in a statement.

Chicago mayor blocks Trump’s crime-fighting efforts as holiday turns deadly

At least 54 people have been shot in Chicago, with seven fatalities, this Labor Day weekend, according to NBC Chicago and at a juncture when its mayor vowed to block President Donald Trump’s efforts to combat crime.

The shootings took place in a series of unrelated incidents, with the majority resulting in no one being taken into custody, police said.

Trump has suggested he may deploy the National Guard and other federal law enforcement to combat crime in the city.

The victims of fatal shootings so far this weekend include at least two women and three men, as well as two others police have not specified. Authorities have not released the names of the deceased.

PRITZKER SAYS ‘ACTION WILL BE MET WITH A RESPONSE’ AFTER TRUMP THREATENS TO SEND NATIONAL GUARD TO CHICAGO

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order on Saturday prohibiting local police from working with their federal counterparts.

“This executive order makes it emphatically clear that this president is not going to come in and deputize our police department,” Johnson said at a news conference with other city leaders.

The mayor’s order affirms that Chicago police officers will continue to enforce state and local laws, but will not work with the National Guard or federal agents on patrols, arrests, immigration enforcement or other law enforcement actions.

CHICAGO MAYOR CALLS TRUMP’S NATIONAL GUARD PLAN ‘MOST FLAGRANT VIOLATION OF OUR CONSTITUTION’

“We will protect our Constitution, we will protect our city, and we will protect our people,” he said. “We do not want to see tanks in our streets. We do not want to see families ripped apart. We do not want grandmothers thrown into the back of unmarked vans. We don’t want to see homeless Chicagoans harassed or disappeared by federal agents.”

The White House dismissed Johnson’s order on Saturday, claiming that Democrats were attempting to make efforts to reduce crime a partisan issue.

“If these Democrats focused on fixing crime in their own cities instead of doing publicity stunts to criticize the President, their communities would be much safer,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement to Reuters.

Chicago has struggled with gun violence for decades. The city suffered another bloody weekend on July 4 this year, when 55 people were shot, six of whom were killed.

Over Memorial Day weekend at the end of May, 22 people were shot, two fatally, in the city. 

According to city data, there have been 272 homicides in Chicago this year, including 225 fatal shootings.

Liberal Democrat House member to step aside at end of term

U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., will not seek re-election next year, according to media reports. 

The move will mark the end of Nadler’s 34 years in Congress where he has been a leading liberal voice on a range of issues. 

“Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that,” Nadler told the New York Times. 

REP. NADLER CONDEMNS TRUMP ADMIN AFTER STAFF MEMBER HANDCUFFED DURING CONGRESSIONAL OFFICE SECURITY SWEEP

That was evident when Nadler, 78, was forced to give up his House Judiciary Committee leadership at the beginning of the term when it became clear a younger, more energetic colleague would beat him. 

Nadler has been a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, warning fellow Democrats about Trump’s leadership style. The two have sparred dating back to the 1980s over Manhattan development projects. 

“I’m not saying we should change over the entire party,” he said. “But I think a certain amount of change is very helpful, especially when we face the challenge of Trump and his incipient fascism.”

DEM REP. NADLER PICTURED WITH HEAD DOWN, EYES CLOSED DURING TESTIMONY FROM OTHERS OF MIGRANT CRIME VICTIMS

He ultimately succeeded in steering articles of impeachment through his committee in 2019. 

Nadler didn’t discuss who could potentially succeed him, saying multiple candidates could run to replace him. 

But a person familiar with his thinking told the Times that Nadler planned to support Micah Lasher, who represents parts of the Upper West Side in the New York State Assembly, should he run.

In speaking with the Times, Nadler said he was confident of the Democrats‘ chances of taking back control of the House next year. 

“Then you can cut the reign of terror in half,” he said.

Fox News Digital has reached out to Nadler’s office. 

In a post on X, New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani praised Nadler as a champion of progressivism. 

“For more than 30 years, when New Yorkers needed a champion, we have turned to Jerry Nadler – and he has delivered for us time and again,” the post states. “Few leaders can claim to have made such an impact on the fabric of our city.”

“Congress will be worse off without his leadership, but our democracy will be better for the selflessness that has defined a legendary career,” he added. 

In a statement, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., called Nadler a “relentless fighter for justice, civil rights and liberties and the fundamental promise of equality for all.”

“After the attacks of September 11, 2001, he spent years fighting for the care and support that New York City and his constituents needed to begin to rebuild and heal,” said Jeffries. “As Dean of the New York delegation, Congressman Nadler has been a dear friend and valued mentor to myself and so many others throughout the People’s House.”

“Jerry’s years of leadership have earned him a spot among our nation’s greatest public servants,” he added. “He will be deeply missed by the House Democratic Caucus next term and we wish him and his family the very best in this new chapter.”

Blanco expanded a little bit, adding, “It was the sickest surprise that she had no idea about, and it couldn’t have come at a better time because I was starting to f— up.

“At the end, she was starting to get upset because she was like, ‘Why aren’t you coming home tonight?’ And I was like, ‘Oh, I’m just at my friends.’” I almost did it early. But I nailed it, I think.”

Nestlé installs new chief executive after workplace scandal forces leadership exit

Nestlé S.A., based in Switzerland, has appointed a new CEO after its former leader was ousted over an inappropriate workplace relationship less than a year into the role.

The company said Laurent Freixe was removed following an investigation into a romantic relationship with a direct subordinate that violated Nestlé’s Code of Business Conduct. Freixe is leaving the company without an exit package.

Chairman Paul Bulcke and Lead Independent Director Pablo Isla oversaw the investigation.

“This was a necessary decision. Nestlé’s values and governance are strong foundations of our company,” Bulcke said. “I thank Laurent for his years of service at Nestlé.”

In the same statement, Bulcke said Philipp Navratil would take over as CEO. 

“Philipp is recognized for his impressive track record of achieving results in challenging environments,” Bulcke said. “Renowned for his dynamic presence, he inspires teams and leads with a collaborative, inclusive management style.

“The Board is confident that he will drive our growth plans forward and accelerate efficiency efforts,” he added. “We are not changing course on strategy, and we will not lose pace on performance.”

CRACKER BARREL CEO SERVES UP LEFTOVER CORPORATE BRANDING TO UNHAPPY CUSTOMERS

Navratil began his career at Nestlé in 2001 as an auditor for the company behind brands like Nespresso, Perrier, San Pellegrino and Gerber.

He later held several roles in Central America, including Country Manager for Nestlé Honduras in 2009.

Four years later, he led Nestlé’s coffee and beverage business in Mexico, bolstering the Nescafé brand.

In July 2024, he began working with the Nespresso brand, and in January 2025, he joined the Nestlé Executive Board.

“I am honored by the trust the Board has placed in me, and it is a privilege to take on the responsibility of leading Nestlé into the future,” he said. “I fully embrace the company’s strategic direction, as well as the action plan in place to drive Nestlé’s performance.
