Joy Behar rejects Kamala Harris for 2028, tells 'The View' co-hosts they're not living in 'reality'
Joy Behar rejected former Vice President Kamala Harris as a 2028 candidate for president during an exchange on "The View" Friday, as she told her co-hosts they weren't living in reality while floating candidates who were straight, White men.
The co-hosts discussed the future of the Democratic Party during the show, as Alyssa Farah Griffin said, "But my hot take of the moment is the most likely person to be the Democratic nominee is Kamala Harris. In every poll, she is still — it's usually her and Gavin Newsom neck and neck."
Behar then interrupted and announced she had a better list of choices for the 2028 Democratic nominee.
DEMOCRATS SHY AWAY FROM QUESTIONS ON WHETHER HARRIS SHOULD RUN FOR PRESIDENT IN 2028
"I have a better list. I love her, she was great, but she didn't win one time. What makes you think she's going to win again?" Behar asked, appearing to refer to her being swept in all the major swing states by President Donald Trump.
Griffin pushed back and said based on name recognition and the money she raised, she didn't think the party would pass over her for a generic White man.
"I like Jon Ossoff, he's 39 years old. I like Josh Shapiro, 53 years old. Gavin Newsom, 58, and JB Pritzker, 61," Behar said.
TOP DEMOCRAT GOVERNORS ARE HOPING TO RIDE THEIR RECORDS TO THE WHITE HOUSE. CAN THEY?
Co-host Sara Haines floated Gov. Wes Moore, D-Md., and former Biden Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
"Look, we all love Buttigieg," Behar then chimed in. "Are they going to vote for a gay guy?"
Haines pushed back on the identity politics argument propelled by Behar.
"I am not going to break the party down based on 'they won't vote for a gay White man/woman.' I think the identity reduces the charisma of the character, the person in front of us. Because we can't—" she said.
"You're not in reality," Behar then said. "I don't think that's reality."
Haines argued that Democratic voters weren't sitting around and saying, "We're ready for a Black president" when Barack Obama was running and that the former president won voters over on the campaign trail.
She added, "You show them what they're ready for."
Co-host Sunny Hostin agreed with Behar, as the co-hosts got heated.
"Yeah, and you know what? And after President Obama, you know what we got? We got Trump. We got a whitelash against a Black President," Hostin said to audience applause. "And in this country, I wish this country after 250 years were beyond identity, but we are not, and we need to be realistic, and as a Democratic Party, we need to win. We need to get this country back on track."
"Maybe I'm too old at this point for this conversation, but I've been watching this country for a long time, and you've got to be in reality. These past few years that Trump has been in office, he's practically destroying democracy. This is an emergency we're in! We can't play around," Behar said.
Co-host Ana Navarro rejected the notion floated by Behar that the nominee needed to be a White man.

"Millions of people watch us on a daily basis, and you are a feminist, you have fought to break glass ceilings," she said. "What I'm saying is I'm not going to tell little Black children or little Latino children or little girls that they can't run and become president."
Behar said that was not what she was saying, and that she only cared about Democrats winning.
Hostin suggested in April that a presidential bid might not be the right position for Harris, who was anointed the Democratic nominee in place of then-President Joe Biden after he dropped out in 2024 over concerns about his mental fitness for office.
She went on to lose to Trump, falling short in every majorly contested battleground state.
Fake VA shoe offer targets veterans
A flyer offering "free athletic shoes from VA" may look official at first glance. It uses VA-style branding, talks about health and wellness and even lists the MyVA phone number. That is what makes it so dangerous.
VA says the message falsely claims Veterans can receive free athletic shoes from VA. The agency says the promotion did not come from VA and has no connection to any official VA program.
The scam appears to be spreading through a flyer and online posts. It tells Veterans they may be eligible for free athletic shoes "at no cost to you." It also shows popular shoe brands, steps to "redeem" shoes and a process that appears to involve a VA provider.
That may be enough to get someone to click, call, share or forward before they stop to think.
MEDICAL IDENTITY THEFT FOLLOWS YOU INTO THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE

VA says the free athletic shoe promotion is fake. It did not come from an official VA program, including VPRs, Central Office or Whole Health.
That is important because the flyer borrows the look and feel of a trusted government agency. It also uses health language to make the offer sound like a wellness benefit.
But let's be real here. A free pair of shoes can sound harmless until the next step asks for your personal details.
This scam works because it mixes familiar names with an official-looking design. The flyer uses VA branding, a health-focused message and well-known athletic shoe brands.
It also presents the offer as a benefit. That can make people feel like they may miss out if they do not act.
Scammers know that veterans and families often deal with a lot of paperwork, benefit updates and health care messages. A fake flyer can slide into that confusion and feel more believable than it should.
One sneaky detail stands out. The flyer lists the MyVA number, but that alone does not make the flyer real.
Scammers often mix real information with fake offers. A real phone number, real logo or familiar agency name can make people lower their guard.
That is why you should verify the offer through VA.gov, your official VA account or your local VA facility before responding.
The flyer may look like it is only about shoes. The bigger risk comes next.
A fake offer like this could lead to a phishing page, a bogus form, a QR code trap or someone asking for sensitive details. That could include your Social Security number, VA login information, health information, address, bank details or credit card number.
Scammers may also use the information to target you again. Once they know you responded to a fake VA offer, they may try a follow-up call, text or email.
DR OZ WARNS MEDICARE SCAMMERS ARE STEALING BILLIONS — AND YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION COULD BE NEXT
Do not share it. Do not forward it. Do not fill out a form. Do not scan any code connected to it.
Also, do not provide personal, financial or health information because of this flyer.
Instead, warn veterans, family members and colleagues without spreading the image. A quick heads-up can help someone avoid a costly mistake.
A few smart habits can help you spot fake VA messages before they turn into a bigger problem.
Go directly to VA.gov or use your official VA account. Do not rely on a flyer, social media post, text message or forwarded image.
A scam flyer may send you to a fake website that looks official. Type the web address yourself or search for the VA page directly.
Do not give anyone your VA.gov username, password or sign-in code. VA says it will not ask you to share login credentials in an email.
Treat your Social Security number, address, date of birth, medical information and benefits details as sensitive. A free offer should never require that kind of information from a random form.
QR CODE EMAIL SCAM TARGETS EMPLOYEE REVIEWS
If you have questions, contact VA through an official phone number, the VA website or your local VA facility. Do not trust contact details from a suspicious flyer alone.
Veterans who suspect fraud can report it through VSAFE.gov or call 1-833-38V-SAFE. Reports help VA and other agencies track scams that target veterans.
Strong antivirus software can help protect you if you click a bad link, scan a risky QR code or land on a fake website tied to a scam. Good protection can block malicious pages, warn you about suspicious downloads and help stop malware before it does damage. Get my picks for the best 2026 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices at Cyberguy.com.
Scammers often use personal details found online to make fake offers feel more believable. A data removal service can help reduce how much of your information is sitting on people-search sites, including your address, phone number and other details that can be used to target you. Check out my top picks for data removal services and get a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web by visiting CyberGuy.com.
If you already clicked, scanned, called or shared information, change your VA.gov password right away. Use a trusted password manager to create and store a strong, unique password you do not use anywhere else. Turn on multifactor authentication if you have not already done that. Then watch your accounts for suspicious activity.
Tell family members, friends and veteran groups that the offer is fake, but do not send the flyer along with your warning. Even if your goal is to help, someone else may miss your warning, save the image or share it again. Instead, send a short message that says the free VA shoe offer is a scam and tell them to verify any VA benefit through VA.gov or their local VA facility.
A free pair of shoes can make you drop your guard, especially when the flyer uses VA branding and familiar shoe names. That is the whole trick. Scammers are using trust to push veterans and families toward a bad link, a fake form or a request for personal info. Slow down and verify it through VA.gov or your local VA facility. And if you want to warn someone, send them a message saying the offer is fake instead of forwarding the flyer itself. That keeps the scam from spreading.
Would this fake VA shoe offer have made you pause, or would the official-looking design have fooled you? Let us know by writing to us at CyberGuy.com.

Your resting heart rate could reveal more about your health than you think, doctors say
The simple act of noting how fast your heart is beating while you're at rest may be the key to measuring your overall health.
Resting heart rate is defined by Mayo Clinic as the number of times your heart beats each minute while you’re awake, calm and not moving.
A normal resting heart rate ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute for adults. A slower resting heart rate means the heart does not have the work as heard to pump blood through the body — something typical of someone who is more fit.
LATEST COVID VACCINE MAY HAVE UNEXPECTED HEALTH BENEFIT, STUDY SUGGESTS
Athletes who are very fit may have a resting heart rate closer to 40 beats per minute, according to Mayo Clinic.
Your resting heart rate can vary due to a variety of factors, including age, physical activity levels, sleep health, smoking, cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, stress, anxiety, hormones, body type and certain medications.
But a resting heart rate that’s often too high or too low may signal a health issue.
WEEKLY WEIGHTLIFTING SWEET SPOT MAY BE LINKED TO LONGER LIFE, STUDY SAYS
A high resting heart rate, even if it’s slight, is usually a sign that something else may be going on in the body, such as anemia, an infection or a thyroid problem, according to Cleveland Clinic.
If your heart rate is regularly above 100 beats per minute, this is a sign to talk with your heart care provider.
The same advice applies if you are not a trained athlete and your resting heart rate is frequently below 60 beats per minute.
TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ
Talk to your doctor if other symptoms such as fainting, dizziness or shortness of breath occur.
You can check your own heart rate by tracking your pulse on your wrist or neck. The best time of day to measure resting heart rate is first thing in the morning, says Mayo Clinic.
Place your index and middle fingers inside the wrist below the thumb, to feel the radial artery; or, do so on the side of the neck, to feel the carotid artery.
Count the number of times your pulse beats in 15 seconds, then multiply this number by four to calculate beats per minute.
Wearable devices can also detect and track resting heart rate, although this may not always be accurate.
If your resting heart rate is higher than normal, there are a few ways to work toward lowering it.

Vigorous exercise is "the best way" to lower your resting heart rate and increase the heart’s aerobic capacity and max heart rate, according to Harvard.
For those who don’t exercise regularly, it’s important to work your way up in difficulty when following a new workout routine.
Some medications, such as beta blockers, can also lower heart rate. In the same way, managing stress through holistic methods such as meditation or yoga can also help.
Cleveland Clinic also recommends cutting back on harmful substances such as drugs and alcohol, which can dehydrate you and raise your heart rate.

Adequate sleep can also help bring your heart rate down, in addition to maintaining a healthy weight.
Cardiologist Tamanna Singh, M.D., shared with Cleveland Clinic that lowering your heart rate takes time as various lifestyle changes kick in.
"Just like building your biceps and triceps, it takes time for your heart to become stronger," the doctor said.
Singh recommended focusing on heart rate patterns rather than dialing in on just the number.
Take note of how your heart rate changes after eating certain foods, when you’re dehydrated or after you’ve began a new exercise or stress management routine.
"If you notice that your heart rate is consistently over 100, mention it to your doctor, especially if you’ve tried making lifestyle changes and they don’t seem to be working," she said.
"Your resting heart rate isn’t the be-all, end-all of your health, but it’s definitely a marker that you should pay attention to."
Former college softball star is now an America-loving Giants WAG, Norway fan won't row & Spurs announcer fired
We've made it to the double-digits of July. Didn't we just start this month? And now, here we are.
Another Friday. July 10th. We're basically a third of the way through the month already. Time flies when you're cranking out content during the slowest time of the year!
No complaining today, though. Well, not from me. Some of you are, and that's fine. We'll get to it. We'll address it. And we'll be better for it.
Until then ... Welcome to a Friday Nightcaps — the one where former Mississippi State softball star Brylie St. Clair resurfaces as an America-loving San Francisco Giants WAG.
From Starkville to San Fran ... Lordy, that must be a culture-shock for Brylie. She's unfazed, though. You'll see.
What else? I've got plenty of reader mail to dump out as we clean out the inbox from a busy few weeks, a Spurs' broadcaster was fired for cheating on his girlfriend, and I can't get enough of this Norway fan who refuses to row with everyone else.
NORWAY WORLD CUP TEAM SWITCHES HOTELS IN FLORIDA AFTER NOISE COMPLAINTS: 'WE MUST MOVE'
It's called having standards, LIBS. Look it up!
OK, let's roll. We've all got things to do, and places to be. I have to head over to the nursing home to check in on memaw and deliver a new velcro mesh bag to hook onto her wheelchair.
This is 33, I reckon.
Grab you a Pina Colada for National Pina Colada Day, and settle in for a Friday 'Cap!
Let's spin the wheel and start today with ... baseball! Might as well. Lord knows y'all have had enough WNBA talk for one week (month).
Hard to believe, but we're nearing the unofficial midway point of the season. The All-Star game is next week, which means we get the Home Run Derby on Monday, the game on Tuesday, and then a couple off days before the second half.
Two teams I've got my eye on as we near the break ... the FLORIDA Marlins, and Boston Red Sox. Have y'all been following this?
The Marlins are the hottest team in baseball — that's right, the Marlins — and currently sit just three games out of first place in the NL East at 52-42.
The Red Sox, meanwhile, have been an absolute dumpster fire all season, including firing manager Alex Cora in April, but have won 11 of 13 and sit just 2.5 games out of a playoff spot.
By the way, they're currently 43-48. Yes, the American League is that horrendous this season. In fact, if the Marlins were in the AL, they'd have the second best record in the league. Instead, they're currently third in their own division.
If the Sox were in the NL, they'd be so far out of the race, they'd probably just cancel the season at this point. Some would argue they probably still should.
Anyway, all that to say ... the San Francisco Giants are 39-54 and one of the worst teams in baseball, but at least they have former Miss. State softballer Brylie St. Clair on the team now to pump out a little patriotism.

Silver linings, I guess:
Welcome back to class, Brylie! Been a while.
For those who are new around here, OutKick discovered Brylie years ago while she was still ripping liners in Starkville. She went on to play one year of professional softball (which apparently exists), before hanging up the cleats entirely.
Earlier this year, she got engaged to Giants starter Trevor McDonald. That's the good news.
The bad news? Trevor is currently 3-7 with a 5.46 ERA. Don't know that we'll be seeing him at the All-Star game next week.
Oh well. More time to plan the wedding!
OK, let's keep the line moving and head on out to the actual pitch, where this Norway fan caught my attention yesterday.
I love a person who stands on principles!
"First of all, I just find it really stupid. That's the first thing I thought when they came up with it. That it was stupid and annoying and I didn't want to do it. It's factually wrong. They didn't row. They sailed over the Atlantic."
My God. I love this animal. What a specimen. For those who haven't followed the World Cup, when Norway wins, the players — and the fans — all get down and do this little rowing celebration:
You see? Cute. Well, apparently, it ain't for everyone! And it certainly ain't for Emil Anners Lappen, who is a stickler for sticking to the facts.
Amen, brother. Don't bend the knee. Stick to your guns. Emil is here on a business trip. Norway plays England tomorrow in the quarterfinals. Less rowing, more scoring!
OK, let's rapid-fire this Friday class into a big Friday night. First up? Mail time!
From Mike S:
"Goodness. Can we go ONE day, just ONE, without the words WNBA in this newsletter? Why are you all convinced so many of your readers care about this?"
Thanks, Mike! As I said in this morning's newsletter, do you know what we'd give for a crappy Thursday Night Football game right about now? It's July. I just gave everyone the baseball rundown. And then we did a story on some Norwegian soccer fan.
That's it. That's just about everything going on right now. You want golf? Fine! Here's Scottie missing a cut for the first time since the Biden Administration:
There. Happy? I promise, football is coming. It's so close. Just hang with us a bit longer.
Next? From Mario P:
Hey Zach,
I have watched baseball since 1948. I am a baseball addict from the Bronx, but will watch almost any team on TV or a sandlot game. What has driven me crazy for many years is a call that was made by a respected umpire that denied a Tigers’ pitcher a perfect game.
The umpire at first base was on top of the play and it was the 27th batter of the game. The batter hit a ground ball to the infield and the pitcher covered first base. The batter was out by several feet. The umpire stated that he missed the call and apologized for the mistake. There are replay shots of the play that show the play.
You seem like a smart person. Can you use your power to see if MLB would change the call and give the young man the recognition that he deserves?
I appreciate the vote of confidence, Mario, but I'm not sure Rob Manfred would listen to me. Which is why he's a dummy!
Mario is obviously talking about the infamous Armando Galarraga play back in 2010, when Jim Joyce robbed him of a perfect game:
Lordy. It gets me every single time. I've watched it a billion times, and every time it looks like Jim so badly wanted to punch him out, but, for some reason, he stopped himself. Go back and watch it again.
He starts to wind up his right arm to signal out, and then hesitates and calls him safe instead. Wild.
Just an all-time bad call from an otherwise really well-respected umpire. For those who don't remember, those two met at home plate the next day and gave us this moment:
Chills. It's not often you see a grown man cry like that. What a moment.
How can you not be romantic about baseball? What a sport.
Speaking of romance ...
Whoaaaaaaaaa Nellie! First time I've seen this one come across my screen.
A Spurs play-by-play man has been canned after his girlfriend hijacked his Instagram account and exposed his affair with the sister of a player.
Not great! It does beg the question that I'll leave y'all with on the way out ...
Can you fire someone for cheating on their girlfriend? I assume that answer is yes if that person is associated with someone on the team you're covering, but ... it's probably a fair question.
Colin Cowherd says NO!
He takes us home.
See y'all Monday.

Intel expert says Singham network is more than a nonprofit scandal—it's a security threat
An intelligence expert warned that far-left sugar daddy Neville Roy Singham’s dark money network is a threat to national security, and said an ongoing federal grand jury probe into the China-based tech tycoon's funding of socialist, communist and Marxist organizations is warranted.
Adam Sohn, co-founder and CEO of the Network Contagion Research Institute, said Singham’s network is funneling hundreds of millions of dollars into nonprofit political advocacy organizations, including the People's Forum, Breakthrough news, Tri-Continental, the Party for Socialism and Liberation. Those groups are mounting highly choreographed protests across the nation over a variety of left-wing causes and issues.
"Without his money, these nonprofits have no reason for existence," Sohn said. "I think Americans are seeing what this ecosystem looks like in the streets of our country. These aren't protests, it's coordinated chaos and attacks on infrastructure."
CRUZ PUSHES BILL TO HOLD TAX-EXEMPT SPONSORS ACCOUNTABLE AS DOJ PROBES SINGHAM NETWORK
Singham, a 72-year-old Marxist who sold his tech company for $800 million in 2017 and now lives in Shanghai, is known to fund pro-Chinese Communist Party groups that operate in the U.S. He has funneled $278 million into the broad network of nonprofits since 2017, according to a Fox News Digital investigation. These groups regularly organize and participate in anti-ICE, anti-Israel and pro-Iran demonstrations.
Fox News Digital reported last week that Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche authorized a grand jury in Manhattan to issue subpoenas as part of a probe of Singham's financial network. The investigation was launched by U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton for the Southern District of New York, one of the country's most powerful districts for federal prosecutions.
Singham hasn’t responded to repeated requests for comment from Fox News Digital.
Nonprofits in Singham’s network mobilize agitators across the country to engage in demonstrations, including some which have resulted in clashes between federal and local law enforcement.
PROBE INTO 'SUBVERSIVE' ANTI-AI SINGHAM NETWORK IS 'ENORMOUS,' FORMER TREASURY ADVISOR SAYS
Sohn said Singham’s network has also fought against the building of data centers and the advancement of artificial intelligence in the U.S. While environmental concerns are usually cited by opponents of the data centers, proponents say blocking them could put the U.S. behind China in the AI race.
Researchers at the Bitcoin Policy Institute released a report last week that said an estimated $23.6 billion in proposed AI and data center investment has been delayed, scaled back or blocked in campaigns where the Party for Socialism and Liberation served as "a critical mobilizer."
Sohn said his organization has provided information to the Southern District of New York surrounding the foreign-backed influence on U.S. AI policy.
CHINA’S IRAN TIES COMPLICATE TRUMP-XI SUMMIT AS TENSIONS TEST US LEVERAGE
"They're functioning as unregistered foreign agents, [with] ties to Venezuela, ties to Iran, North Korea, Russia, Cuba," Sohn said. "This same organizing muscle that's been shutting down bridges, shutting down airports, attacking police officers, they're now redeployed onto the artificial intelligence the United States is trying to engage in with China and other countries."
Sohn alleged that his organization "had some recent data that shows that Iranian operatives are formally partnered with the Singham networks," though Fox News Digital was unable to independently verify the claim.
The federal grand jury probe of Singham is part of a slew of investigations that includes ones launched by Congressional committees and top lawmakers in Washington D.C.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met with Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO David Solomon in New York earlier this year, where, according to sources familiar with the meeting, he pressed the bank to assist the Justice Department's investigation into Singham's financial network.
During the meeting, Bessent warned that Goldman Sachs itself could come under scrutiny over its alleged role in facilitating the movement of Singham's funds and encouraged Solomon to fully cooperate with federal investigators.
A source familiar with the meeting told Fox News Digital that the discussion was cordial, not contentious, and that Solomon expressed a willingness to aid the Justice Department's investigation.
"All distributions from Mr. Singham's donor-advised fund were made to legally recognized nonprofit organizations, as determined by the IRS, a Goldman Sachs spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "No distributions have been made from the account since August 2023, and it was closed in early 2024."
Cause of death revealed for American mother murdered in Ireland: report
The cause of death of an American woman found dead in a scenic Irish town earlier this week has been revealed, according to a report.
Jamey Carney, 43, a New York native who moved to Ireland in 2021, died from suffocation after suffering head injuries, according to a report by The Irish Times, which cited the Irish state pathologist Dr. Linda Mulligan.
Initial reports suggested she had been beaten to death, but the newspaper reported the post-mortem found that suffocation — not her head injuries — caused her death. Police are investigating her death as a murder.
Irish police said a person of interest had fled the country before her body was found Tuesday at her home in Killarney, County Kerry, a southwest town popular among American tourists. Some Irish publications are reporting the person of interest is an asylum seeker.
The Irish Times reported Carney's body was discovered by a family member at the home she shared with her 13-year-old daughter.
Fox News Digital sought independent confirmation of the reported cause of death from Irish police, the Kerry coroner and the Irish state pathologist. The Irish Justice Department, which oversees the state pathologist, declined to comment, citing the ongoing criminal investigation, as did Irish police.
Investigators believe the person of interest first arrived in the United Kingdom before traveling to Ireland, RTÉ reported. The Irish broadcaster said detectives have contacted airline and transport authorities and are coordinating with British police and immigration officials as they work to trace his identity and movements. Irish police have also contacted Interpol and Europol.
Despite the international manhunt, Irish police have yet to publicly identify the person of interest or release his name, photograph or physical description.
Irish police, per RTÉ, reported police said they were not in a position to comment on his age, name or nationality for legal reasons, though authorities did not specify the legal basis.
Fox News Digital asked Irish police to identify the person of interest and explain the legal basis for withholding his identity. They declined to provide any new information, saying there were "no additional updates at this time."
HERE'S WHY IRELAND IS AT BOILING POINT OVER MASS IMMIGRATION
The Irish Times reported the person of interest is from the Middle East and has permission to remain permanently in Ireland.
Investigators believe the man caught an early-morning bus from Killarney to Dublin Airport — about 200 miles away — before boarding a flight to Istanbul before Carney's body was found, according to The Irish Times.
The Irish Mirror reported the person of interest was an asylum seeker living in state-run accommodation in Killarney and that the man knew Carney and frequently stayed at her home.
Carney's social media profiles described her as a "New Yorker in Ireland" and showed her with a man she identified as her partner. In one recent post, she referred to them as a "mixed couple." A social media account appearing to belong to the man Carney identified as her partner contains posts from the United Kingdom and Turkey in recent years.
The Irish Times described Carney as a third-generation Irish American originally from Westchester County, just north of New York City. The newspaper reported her father died 11 months ago.
Public records reviewed by Fox News Digital indicate she also had ties to Rockland County, New York, and northern New Jersey, while Fox News Digital sources said she was a familiar face along Yonkers' McLean Avenue, a neighborhood with a large Irish-American community.
The State Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that an American citizen died in County Kerry on July 7 and said it was providing consular assistance to the victim's family.
A woman who says she is Carney's sister wrote on social media that she and her mother are in Ireland for the foreseeable future and working with Irish police. She wrote that a GoFundMe has been set up to help the family cover funeral expenses.
Carney's cousin, Ryan Fox, said the victim had been very proud of her Irish roots and had been "looking for a beautiful country with like-minded people to raise her daughter," according to The Irish Times.
"She was taken from the people that love her and we're all going to do everything in our power to make sure that this doesn't happen to more people because nobody, nobody deserves this," Fox said, according to the newspaper citing an interview on RTÉ.
Irish police continue to appeal for anyone who was in the Muckross Road area between 11 p.m. on July 6 and 5 a.m. on July 7 and who may have CCTV or dashcam footage to contact investigators.
NJ husband begs for CPR help in 911 call after wife found dead with stab wounds: audio
Brooke Hanlon's husband placed a frantic 911 call after finding his wife unconscious and not breathing on the floor of their Chester, New Jersey, home in early June.
Conor Hanlon, the husband of 35-year-old Brooke Hanlon, called 911 after finding her unconscious and bloodied on the floor of their home on June 6. He asked the operator for guidance on performing CPR. Investigators found Brooke Hanlon dead with "multiple sharp force injuries," according to the Morris County Prosecutor's Office.
"I just found my wife (inaudible) CPR, I need CPR instructions," Hanlon can be heard saying on the 911 call.
Fox News Digital spotted Conor Hanlon in Brighton, Massachusetts, as the couple's baby is staying with family.
"I need you here. I need you here immediately," he said.

When the 911 operator asked if she was bleeding and not conscious, Conor Hanlon can be heard screaming, "No!"
"Oh, oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god," Hanlon can be heard saying while hyperventilating.
SLAIN NEW JERSEY THERAPIST'S SISTER SAYS FAMILY IS LIVING A 'NIGHTMARE' ONE MONTH LATER
Conor Hanlon has obtained a lawyer and has been communicating with investigators, the Morris County Prosecutor's Office previously said.
Fox News Digital previously obtained a Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) log of a 911 call made at the home on June 6, which was initially reported as a "Cardiac or Respiratory Arrest."
FOX TRUE CRIME IS NOW ON FACEBOOK
The 911 call was placed at 4:29 p.m., and at 4:42 p.m., a dispatcher entered a "suspicious death" note on the file.
One of the Hanlons' neighbors told Fox News Digital, "There was a lot of activity out there on the 6th. I'd talked to Conor a few times before. We mostly texted. We've lived here about a year, and he'd text me whenever bears were around."
Court records show Conor Hanlon has no prior arrests or criminal history. He hasn't been accused of any crime nor wrongdoing.
Potential Platner replacement pressed on Maine voter who said he'd vote Collins over him
Troy Jackson, a possible replacement for Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner after he dropped out of the race on Wednesday, was pressed during an MS NOW interview on Thursday about an independent Maine voter saying he would vote for Republican Sen. Susan Collins over him.
MS NOW host Katy Tur confronted Jackson with video of an independent Maine voter telling a reporter, "Troy Jackson is not progressive. He voted against so many bad things, like gay marriage, abortion. He did that and now wants to say he's progressive."
"If they put up Troy Jackson, if they put up Shenna Bellows, I'm voting for Susan Collins," the voter, Brent Hawkes, said. "And I hate to say that as an independent, but Troy Jackson and Shenna Bellows aren't going to be able to do anything in the federal government."
Tur noted the voter was an independent but was espousing progressive viewpoints and asked Jackson to respond to him.
"Honestly, he is accurate," Jackson admitted. "I voted against those things over 15 years ago. Since then, you know, I've found out, I've understood. I mean, I've always been someone that believes that healthcare is a human right, and it became clear to me after some time that abortion, reproductive rights access is a human right," he said.
Jackson touted a 100% voting record with Planned Parenthood.
"I've co-sponsored some of the most progressive abortion access in the entire country and fought vehemently for it," he said. "
"And you know, I make no bones about a bad vote years ago coming out of a rural area, a very Catholic area. But, I mean, people are going to have all kinds of thoughts about these things, but I mean, I have a 20-year record of votes like that, but a whole bunch of votes that, you know, people like in the DSA think that I'm very progressive."
Jackson filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to potentially replace Platner as the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate. Prior to the recent allegations against Platner, Jackson was one of his earliest supporters and previously campaigned with Platner during his gubernatorial campaign. Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows has also been floated as a replacement.

During the same interview, Tur questioned Jackson over his support for Platner throughout his campaign, which has been riddled with controversy related to a Nazi tattoo, incendiary Reddit posts and, most recently, sexual abuse allegations, which the ex-Senate candidate denies.
"You supported him," Tur began. "You bragged about being one of the first supporters of him. Why did you stick with him for so long? Why did you stick with him after the Nazi tattoo? Why did you stick with him after The New York Times article and the aggressive women stuff, stick with him after the Reddit posts that were arguably racist and sexist? I know he denies the sexual misconduct allegations, but why did you stay with him for so long?"
"Well, the Nazi tattoo and the Reddit posts, I mean, I didn’t know — I mean, I haven’t ever been on Reddit, but, you know, when people talked about those things, and he turned around and said, you know, that these were times, whenever, they were dark for him and, you know, he’d grown and all this stuff," Jackson said.

Jackson added, "They were, you know, a different time period for him. And I understood, you know, that people can change."
MLB All-Star fans will be able to drink beer out of a beautiful piece of American history
In recent years, we've seen an arms race in the nation's concession stands of teams trying to trot out the most innovative beer vessels.
I thought we were reaching the apex of this phenomenon with inventions like the Buffalo Sabre's' beer sabre and the Carolina Hurricanes' beer skate, but the MLB All-Star Game may have just changed the trajectory of novelty beer cup history.
That's because Budweiser has revealed that fans at the upcoming MLB All-Star Game can get a replica Liberty Bell full of beer.
I have to assume that crack is an aesthetic choice. If it was real, you'd waste a ton of beer.
Now, this seems to be a little different. If you examine that picture closely as I did, you'll notice a beer tap.
Since we all have a firm understanding of how big a beer tap is, we can all do the math and surmise that it is a giant Liberty Bell full of beer as opposed to small ones you drink out of. Instead, the beer flows directly from one of the most iconic symbols in American history, and that is amazing.
AMERICA'S FAVORITE BEERS — AND THE JOBS TIED TO THEM — ARE AT THE CENTER OF A BREWING TRADE FIGHT
It also just started a trend that needs to happen.
I know we just passed the official 250th birthday of the United States, but the celebrations are still going on, and I think we should celebrate America all the time.
So, the nation's greatest monuments need the kegerator treatment too.
THE REVOLUTIONARY LANDMARKS WHERE WASHINGTON, ADAMS AND JEFFERSON CHANGED AMERICA
San Antonio: Prepare to drink a Lone Star out of the Alamo.
Bay Area: Imagine crushing a sessional West Coast IPA that flowed from a giant replica of the Golden Gate Bridge.
But the pièce de résistance? How do four different beers getting poured out of a scale model of Mount Rushmore sound?
It would be a thing of beauty... we just need to figure out where to stick the taps (I say the beer should come out of each president's nose just for the laugh).
I can't wait to see this Liberty Bell in action at Citizens Bank Park. This year's MLB All-Star Game will be quite the celebration of baseball, America, and now beer.
Say it with me: USA! USA! USA!
Sexual assaults and scams plague top vacation hot spot, prompting urgent advisory
Turks and Caicos Islands regularly draw Americans with their white-sand beaches — but U.S. officials are renewing safety warnings for travelers.
The U.S. State Department on Tuesday updated its Level 2 "Exercise Increased Caution" advisory for the British Overseas Territory.
The islands are best known for their turquoise waters, coral reefs and luxury resorts, while Grand Turk serves as a popular Caribbean cruise port.

The advisory notes that Providenciales, the Turks and Caicos Islands' main tourist destination and home to Grace Bay Beach, is where most crime in the territory occurs.
The majority of international visitors arrive through Providenciales International Airport (PLS), and State Department officials said that police on the island "may have limited resources to investigate crimes."
"There have been reports of sexual assaults in the Turks and Caicos Islands," the advisory states.
"Petty crime is common, especially in popular tourist locations."

The State Department also warned Americans about specific scams that involve overcharging tourists in heavily traveled areas.
"You may encounter aggressive vendors," the advisory noted. "Some will offer 'free' gifts that lead to money demands. Most sites have tourist police available to help in uncomfortable situations."
The advisory also said that firearms and ammunition are banned on the Turks and Caicos Islands, and those laws are strictly enforced by police.
"This includes single bullets and cartridges brought by mistake in carry-on bags or luggage," the advisory said.

"A firearm license or permit obtained in the United States or any other country is not valid in the Turks and Caicos Islands."
The warning added, "Travelers may face arrest, jail time and heavy fines. ... We cannot get U.S. citizens out of detention."
The State Department recommends that travelers avoid opening their hotel or residence door to strangers, use caution when walking or driving at night and avoid physically resisting if confronted during a robbery.
Fox News Digital reached out to the State Department for comment.

The warning comes amid a series of recent travel and security advisories from U.S. officials.
Earlier in June, powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela, prompting the State Department to update its longstanding Level 3 travel advisory.
The same month, the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem warned Americans that the security environment across the Middle East remained "complex" and could change rapidly.
