Driver plows into North Carolina cycling group, killing 1 and injuring many others
A driver plowed into a crowd of bicyclists in Wake County, North Carolina, early Sunday morning, killing one cyclist and injuring a number of others.
The North Carolina State Highway Patrol (NCSHP) told Fox News Digital that troopers responded to the crash in Apex at about 9:39 a.m. Sunday.
A black Infiniti driven by the suspect was traveling west along Optimist Farm Road when it "crossed the center line and struck a group of cyclists who were traveling east," an NCSHP official said.

"The passenger vehicle then continued traveling away from the scene before running off the left side of the roadway and colliding with a ditch approximately one-half mile away from the initial crash scene," the official added.
The driver struck a number of cyclists in a group of about 30 riders, according to the Holly Springs Fire Department, as reported by several outlets.
Some were treated at the scene, while others were taken to local hospitals.
An NCSHP official told Fox News Digital that the cyclists "suffered injuries ranging from minor to serious, several of whom were transported to local hospitals for treatment."
Approximately a dozen cyclists were injured in the incident, the same official said Monday.

The driver, identified as Donald Robert Morris-Jones, 76, was charged with multiple offenses, including seven counts of felony serious injury by vehicle and eight counts of felony hit-and-run, officials said.
He also faces charges of felony death by vehicle, driving while impaired, reckless driving and driving left of center.
"Impairment is suspected to be a factor in the crash," an official told Fox News Digital.
Morris-Jones was transported to the Wake County Detention Center, where he was being held on a $1 million secured bond.

The cyclist killed in the crash was identified as Patrick Allen Turner, 63, of Cary, North Carolina.
The tragedy has also shaken North Carolina's cycling community.
In a Facebook post, Cycle North Carolina, a statewide organization that hosts recreational cycling events, said Turner's death "makes this tragedy hit especially close to home."

"Our hearts are with Patrick’s family and friends, as well as everyone else involved and impacted by this tragedy. We cannot begin to imagine the pain and shock they are experiencing," the organization wrote.
"Please take care of one another [and] look out for your fellow cyclists."

Shaun King, board chair of Bike Durham, told ABC11 he first learned of the crash through concerned messages from friends and family.
"We feel very vulnerable in this moment because this harm that our CCC community members are feeling right now could have happened to any of us," he told the outlet.
King added, "By riding in the style that we do, which is two in line, it means that we are more compact, so that a vehicle passes us under a short duration when they're in the other line."
SCOTUS allows Trump admin to temporarily resume border construction in Texas' Big Bend
The U. S. Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for the Trump administration to resume border wall construction in West Texas, granting an emergency request from the federal government to lift a lower court's hold on the project.
The justices' ruling stays a preliminary injunction issued last month by a federal district judge in El Paso, who had temporarily halted border wall construction in the region designated by U. S. Customs and Border Protection as the Big Bend Sector while litigation proceeds.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson indicated she would have denied the stay request but did not file a written dissent.
LIBERAL JUSTICE HAMMERS SUPREME COURT FOR FAST-TRACKING EMERGENCY DOCKET CASES
The lawsuit against the project was brought by a coalition of environmental groups and local residents, who claim the Department of Homeland Security violated constitutional provisions by proceeding without congressional authorization and bypassing environmental regulations.
Spanning more than 500 miles, the Big Bend Sector covers roughly a quarter of the U. S.–Mexico border, though it accounted for just 1. 3% of all border apprehensions in 2025, Reuters reported.
MULLIN TELLS CONGRESS PRIMARY BORDER WALL WILL BE DONE BY JUNE 2027, SECONDARY WALL BY SUMMER 2028
Administration officials have argued the wall is vital to stopping cartel operations active south of the border and curbing the smuggling of large quantities of illicit drugs into the U.S.
Most of the proposed construction in the Big Bend Sector will take place on privately owned land, according to administration officials.
Big Bend National Park is slated for a 17-mile barrier, though officials noted it will not feature the 30-foot steel pedestrian fencing planned in other areas along the southern border.
President Donald Trump has long touted border wall expansion as a signature initiative of his strategy to seal the southern border and crack down on illegal immigration.
New California law will restrict sales of some muscle-building supplements to minors
Gavin Newsom has signed legislation banning the sale of some "muscle-building supplements" to Californians under 18 years of age.
The legislation (AB 2030), which was signed on Sept. 28, covers over-the-counter diet pills and dietary supplements for weight loss or muscle building. It will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2027.
"Nonprescribed, medically unapproved products may cause dangerous side effects," the governor’s office said in its announcement. "Products can be mislabeled or contaminated with substances such as steroids."
WHY STACKING SUPPLEMENTS WITHOUT A BLOOD TEST FIRST CAN DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD
California’s law restricts minors’ access to supplements marketed for muscle building – specifically, those that are "labeled, marketed or otherwise represented for the purpose of achieving weight loss or building muscle."
Courts may consider whether a product contains "creatine, green tea extract, raspberry ketone, garcinia cambogia or green coffee bean extract," the legislation states.
The law does not impose an outright ban on all creatine products. Restrictions depend on how the supplements are labeled, advertised and marketed to consumers.
TAKING DAILY SUPPLEMENT MAY HELP PRESERVE MUSCLE AS YOU AGE — EVEN WITHOUT EXERCISE
The law does not apply to people under 18 who have a prescription for an over-the-counter diet pill or dietary supplement for weight loss or muscle-building.
The release cites research indicating that nearly one in 10 adolescents have used such products.
It also references studies linking over-the-counter diet pill use to a sixfold greater likelihood of an eating disorder diagnosis within three years.

The announcement does not specify whether whey protein or creatine products are included in the ban.
Sellers who do not adhere to the new law will face civil fines of up to $500 per violation.
The American Herbal Products Association, based in Maryland, released a statement opposing the law.

"Lacking any scientific justification, AB 2030 casts a shadow over safe, beneficial products," said Robert Marriott, the association's vice president of regulatory and government affairs, in the statement.
The organization argues that the law's scope is unclear and notes that it does not explicitly exempt protein products.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest, based in Washington, D.C., shared public support of the new legislation.

"Manufacturers of these products often prey on kids and teens with deceptive claims that lack any scientific evidence," said Jensen Jose, a regulatory counsel at CSPI, which co-sponsored the legislation.
Dr. Sigrid Wolf, a pediatric sports medicine physician at Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, recently addressed the use of creatine products among teenagers, stating that evidence of benefits is limited.

"In some cases, they might even be dangerous," wrote Wolf, who is a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics' sports medicine committee, in an article published on HealthyChildren.org, the American Academy of Pediatrics' parenting website.
"Creatine can come with negative side effects such as weight gain, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea."
"Studies show that many supplements contain harmful substances that go undetected," she added, instead recommending prioritizing nutrition, training, sleep and hydration.

Rubio's defense of Trump's Iran war draws sharp contrast with Vance's midterm blame
Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the Trump administration's war against Iran on Sunday, days after Vice President JD Vance blamed the conflict for Republicans' devastating midterm losses, as the White House confronts an unresolved standoff with Tehran.
"I think the president took on something that other presidents have failed to do. Sometimes, when you do the right thing, you don't know whether it's popular or not, but it's still the right thing to do. Presidents are elected to take on the hard things, sometimes difficult things, but necessary things," Rubio said Sunday.
Vance made his argument in a post on X last week.
"The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night," Vance wrote last week.
"But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there," he added.
VANCE REFUSES TO PUT A CLOCK ON IRAN CONFLICT AS KEY QUESTION KEEPS US FORCES ENGAGED
Vance cited an unnamed pollster in the X post who said voters who had abandoned the GOP wanted the administration to end the conflict, address inflation and the cost of living, put America first and change its relationship with Israel.
The vice president's argument that the war was the primary driver of Republicans' losses, however, is complicated by polling. The Fox News Voter Poll found that 89% of voters considered the cost of living a crucial or major factor in their congressional vote, compared with 74% who said the same about the war in Iran. The findings suggest broader economic frustrations were also a major concern among voters, although the two issues may overlap and the polling does not establish which ultimately drove Republican defections.
Fox News Digital contacted Vance's office five times seeking clarification on whether ending the conflict would mean lifting the blockade, withdrawing American forces or securing new concessions from Tehran, but received no response.
The contrasting assessments come as Republicans begin looking ahead to 2028, with Trump naming Rubio as a possible presidential contender during an interview with CBS.
Some longtime Trump donors are reportedly expressing doubts about backing Vance in 2028, fearing his ties to the Trump administration and the GOP’s devastating midterm losses could hurt his presidential prospects, with some floating Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and other Republicans as alternatives, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Meanwhile, Trump and Vance are pursuing another diplomatic opening with Iran, with Qatar mediating talks over a possible agreement that could ease the U.S. blockade and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Trump met with Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani Monday to discuss mediation efforts and potential terms for ending the conflict with Iran.
Rubio expressed skepticism Sunday that negotiations were nearing a breakthrough, arguing that Iran's demands remained unrealistic. Vance has been personally involved in indirect talks with Iranian representatives through regional mediators in recent weeks, according to Axios.
"I’m not in a political office," Rubio told reporters Sunday when asked about the midterm results. "As you know, I just don’t comment on domestic politics."
TRUMP SAYS HE DOESN’T DISAGREE WITH VANCE THAT IRAN WAR FUELED GOP LOSSES
Trump initially projected that Operation Epic Fury, launched against Iran in February, would involve four to five weeks of combat operations. More than eight months later, the broader confrontation continues despite the end of major U.S. combat operations in April.
After a June Memorandum of Understanding with Iran failed to produce a lasting resolution, the Trump administration returned to economic and military pressure, with renewed limited strikes, continued maritime tensions and an unresolved standoff over Iranian missile capabilities and the flow of oil and natural gas through the Strait of Hormuz.
Vance played a role in the administration's negotiations with Iran, helping lead diplomatic efforts that produced the June agreement before it unraveled.
Trump even joked in June that Vance would take the blame if the Iran deal failed.
"If it works out, I'm going to take the credit. If it doesn't work out, I'm blaming JD," Trump said at the time.
The vice president has previously defended the administration's military campaign, crediting U.S. forces with significantly weakening Iran's conventional military and its ability to threaten commercial shipping.
"The VP has let it be known for a few months now that he is not in full agreement with the President on Iran. But [the] social media post is striking, if not shocking," Ludovic Hood, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute's Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East, told Fox News Digital.
Hood also questioned Vance's emphasis on the war as the primary cause of Republicans' losses, arguing that broader economic concerns played a significant role in voters' frustration.
AFTER 47 YEARS OF CONFRONTING IRAN, DOES AMERICA HAVE A STRATEGY FOR ENDING THIS WAR?
Trump dismissed suggestions that Vance's comments about Iran had strained their relationship on Sunday, defending Vance's remarks while suggesting he should have gone a step further in expressing support for the administration's actions.
"No, not at all," Trump said when asked whether Vance's comments had affected their relationship. "But a lot of people didn't like his comments, but not me. He was right."
Trump added that Vance "should have made one other statement," arguing that the administration's actions against Iran were worth repeating.
TRUMP'S IRAN GAMBLE DIVIDES GOP HAWKS AND 'AMERICA FIRST' CONSERVATIVES OVER WHAT VICTORY LOOKS LIKE
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth also publicly defended the Iran campaign, calling it a "courageous and historic" effort even as Vance questions its political costs. Hegseth also faces questions about his future in the administration, although the president publicly insisted he intends to keep his Pentagon chief.
Beyond the political fallout, assessments differ over whether the administration has achieved its military objectives and what risks remain for the United States.
GOP CRACKS WIDEN OVER IRAN WAR AS VULNERABLE CANDIDATES BREAK WITH TRUMP, DEMAND ITS END
Retired Army Lt. Col. Daniel L. Davis, a veteran of four combat deployments and host of the "Daniel Davis Deep Dive" show on YouTube, offered a sharply critical assessment of the campaign's results, arguing that the administration has failed to accomplish the objectives Trump outlined when the operation began.
On Feb. 28, Trump pledged to destroy Iran's missile capabilities and production facilities, eliminate its navy and prevent Tehran's regional proxies from destabilizing the Middle East.
"Eight months and 9 days later, none of those objectives have been met," Davis told Fox News Digital.
The White House has offered a starkly different assessment. In April, the administration declared that U.S. forces had achieved the military objectives of Operation Epic Fury, pointing to the destruction of Iranian military infrastructure and significant degradation of Tehran's missile and naval capabilities.
Davis said that although American strikes inflicted significant damage on Iran's conventional military, Tehran retains the ability to threaten U.S. forces and regional allies through missiles, drones and naval assets protected in underground facilities. He warned that renewed major combat operations could expose American forces and Gulf allies to further retaliation without eliminating those capabilities.
VANCE'S SCATHING IRAN WAR POSTMORTEM PUTS POTENTIAL 2028 GOP SHOWDOWN IN FOCUS: 'EVERYONE KNOWS WHY'
"First, it should be clear: shooting the same targets, with the same missiles, is not going to produce a different outcome," Davis said.
"Can't put lipstick on this pig: it would be ugly and seen as an admission of defeat," Davis said. "But that is still profoundly better for our interests than going back to combat ops that will only deepen, significantly, the cost of our failure."
Hood, however, rejected the suggestion that the United States should abandon pressure on Tehran, arguing that Iran continues to pose a serious threat to regional stability and American interests.
"Trump seems to get that Iran, as currently governed, is a singularly dangerous threat to the region's stability and ability to prosper; is, has long been, a source of international terrorism; and would be even more dangerous with nuclear weapons," Hood said.
Hood said the administration needs to more clearly explain its strategic objectives, including whether Washington is seeking significant concessions on Iran's nuclear program or a political shift in Tehran.
"The administration's messaging to the America people and to international partners needs improvement. What are our strategic objectives?" Hood said.

Jared Goff's SI Swimsuit wife had a big Miami weekend, college football gets greedy & Christmas decor time?
'Nightcaps' is a daily column that catches you up on the biggest sports, news and culture stories you may have missed while pretending to do work at your desk. It runs Monday-Friday on OutKick.com.
Well, it happened.
My wife pulled the rug out from under me and ripped down all the Halloween decor around the house over the weekend. Didn't even give me warning. No heads-up. I left Friday morning and everything was pumpkins and cobwebs, and by the time I got home late in the afternoon, it may as well have been May.
What a punch to the gut. I went to Target later that day, and it was pretty much Santa's workshop in there. Christmas music blaring down every aisle. Reindeer hanging from the ceilings. Ribbons everywhere.
And just like that, fall was over — and the holiday season had begun. I held out for as long as I could, but I was ambushed. Now, we're in an undecorated house because the Christmas stuff is in the attic and, frankly, I don't have it in me to go up there quite yet.
So, we wait. Perhaps this weekend, when a cold front is supposed to be in town for a few days? An actual cold front. Our first since March!
Until then, we're in November purgatory. Sad.
NFL WEEK 9 SUNDAY TAKEAWAYS: BENGALS, 49ERS AND PACKERS LOOK SUPER, RAMS FINALLY OVER .500
Welcome to a Monday Nightcaps — the one where Jared Goff's wife, Christen Harper, had a dominant weekend in Miami and helped the Lions to a 19-9 win over my Miami Dolphins.
Most ethical tank ever, though. What a pleasure it's been to watch this season!
What else? I've got college football officially killing off conference championship weekend, Ron DeSantis (sadly, the outgoing governor of the great state of Florida) weighs in like the PATRIOT he is, and when is an acceptable time to put the Christmas decorations up?
You all know where I stand, but I'm curious to see if I'm in the majority or minority here.
OK, grab you something to deck your halls (whatever that means), and settle in for a Monday 'Cap!
Big college football Saturday, and a big NFL Sunday yesterday. Let's spin the wheel and start the week with ...
The NFL! We'll get to college here in a bit. Crooks.
Pretty solid Sunday of football, right? Browns-Saints was a good one. Cowboys-Colts was a mess. The Pats got absolutely steamrolled, which was nice to watch as a Dolphins fan.
And my Dolphins ... continued the most ethical tank in NFL history yesterday against the Lions. I've watched a lot of tanks in my 30 years as a Fins fan, and what the fellas are doing this season is a true masterpiece.
The defense — truly a no-name defense — held the best offense in football to 19 points yesterday. Nineteen! Quick, name ONE person on the Miami defense.
You can't. I barely can, and I watch the games!
I was a little skeptical coming into this season about how I'd feel week in and week out rooting for a team that just stinks. I've gotta say — it's been a pleasure. Seriously.
There is absolutely no pressure on NFL Sundays anymore. None. The team is young, playing well, and losing every game because they just don't have the talent. It's a win-win. I miss watching a winning team, and I miss the feeling of winning a big game. Winning on NFL Sunday is the absolute best feeling as a sports fan.
But boy, it's been nice to be stress-free, too.
Now, let's check in with Jared Goff's SI Swimsuit wife, Christen Goff (Harper), and get this week started right:
"Ended the weekend with a W."
Indeed, Christen. You did. Can't argue that. Get us now, NFL, while you still can. The Dolphins are COMING.
PS: Shoutout to Jahmyr Gibbs for scoring the game's only touchdown yesterday. I had Gibbs, Ken Walker and George Pickens parlayed for all three to score the first touchdown in their respective games. Walker hit early. Gibbs finally hit in the third quarter (!!!). Pickens never played!
Not a bad little payout, which I needed because I got absolutely slaughtered by the books on Saturday.
Speaking of college football ... it's official, folks. The playoff will expand to 24 teams next season, and conference title games will be officially eliminated.
Thoughts, Mr. Governor?
"A short-sighted move that might bolster profits in the near term but will further erode what has traditionally made college football special," DeSantis posted in response to Monday's official announcement.
Thoughts? First impressions?
I've said from the beginning that I don't love any of it. Now, I do love more playoff games on actual campuses. That's the biggest issue I have with the current format. Neutral site games are for the birds when it comes to college football. Every single game should be on a college campus. I'll die on that hill.
But the elimination of Championship Weekend hurts. I hate it. The first Friday and Saturday of December are unofficial holidays, as far as I'm concerned. Back in the day you'd have the Pac-12 title game on Friday, and the Big 12, SEC, ACC and Big Ten on Saturday — in that order.
It was awesome. We have one more dance with it next month, and then it's gone forever.
Soak it all in, folks. You will miss it this time next year. I promise.
Speaking of missing things, let's rapid-fire this Monday class into a big Monday night of FOOTBALL.
First up? This came across my desk today, and I've watched it 50 times already:
Today is the 24-year anniversary of LSU's improbable Hail Mary against Kentucky, better known as the Bluegrass Miracle.
More importantly ... it was played on Jefferson-Pilot Sports, which is pure nostalgia for kids my age that grew up in the south.
Remember Jefferson-Pilot? Man, was it the best.
Nothing – and I mean nothing – beat going from College GameDay to whatever third-tier SEC game Jefferson-Pilot was airing at noon. Jay Cutler and Eli Manning had some EPIC showdowns on JP back in the day. It was never the best game, or the best picture quality, or the best announcers.
But buddy, it was college football at it's best. That's what they're taking from us!
OK, that's it for today. Good start to the week. I leave you with Sophie Cunningham at yesterday's NASCAR finale in Homestead, and a question:
When do YOU put up the Christmas decorations? It's been nine days since Halloween. Too early? Too late? What's the cutoff?
Let me know! Zach.Dean@OutKick.com.
Now, let's have a big week.
Chris Rock says he 'was not a great husband' to Malaak Compton-Rock, admits he watched 'a lot of porn'
Chris Rock is going into detail about the end of his marriage, admitting he wasn't the best husband and took accountability for mistakes he made in the relationship.
During a recent interview with GQ, the 61-year-old comedian shared that there were many factors that caused the divorce, noting he cheated and was addicted to pornography during his marriage.
"I was not a great husband," he admitted. "I watched a lot of porn. I don’t watch porn anymore. I haven’t watched porn in five, six years."
He also admitted to cheating on his wife, noting, "It’s not anything I’m proud of, but it’s something I had to go through."
CHRIS ROCK SHREDS 'WOKE 1.0' ERA, COMPARES MODERN OUTRAGE TO SALEM WITCH HUNTS
The comedian compared himself to a character in a Marvel movie who "has to test his powers" and see how far they can push things before they eventually "crash down."
"Every Marvel movie, man or woman, they have to test their powers," he said. "They’re a- -holes. They get these powers and they’re a- -holes, and they’re racing trains and they’re lifting up ocean liners and they try to go to the sun, then they crash down because they realize they’re not God. And then they start helping people."
He explained that he "tested my powers" during his marriage by cheating on his wife, noting he "was severely humbled" when he realized he definitely "wasn't God or anywhere near him."
Rock was married to Malaak Compton-Rock for nearly 20 years. They tied the knot in 1996, separated in 2014 and finalized their divorce in 2016. They share two children together, daughters, Lola and Zahra.

The actor recently directed the film, "Misty Green," the first movie he has directed in 12 years, the last one being 2014's "Top Five." He explained that some of the reason behind that is that he got divorced.
"Nobody has a successful divorce, so that takes time," he said. "Then once it’s done, okay, you’re not sitting on the money you had before, so now you got to really make some money. So you go on tour, or two tours. So there was a lot of stand-up. There was a lot of getting my life together. You got a pandemic, you got a bunch of nonsense going on there."
"Misty Green" follows an award-winning actress, Misty Green, who is working hard to make a comeback after years of watching her career slowly fade away, with Rock portraying a casting director who once worked with the actress.

While promoting the movie, Rock told "The Daily" podcast in October that he wanted to make a movie about Los Angeles, calling it a "tale of two cities," noting that while there is "sunshine and palm trees," people are also "constantly walking over homeless people."
PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE
The actor previously spoke about the message he wanted to get across when making the film, telling Variety in September that much of the movie is about Los Angeles, which he called a "complicated place" that "attracts an underbelly that people want to pretend doesn’t exist."
"A lot of it’s about L.A. L.A. has got very wonky priorities," he said. "There’s a real estate office on the same street as The Ivy on Robertson, and in the window, there are houses for $30-$40 million. In the window. But there’s a homeless guy sleeping right outside. The movie is about that crazy dichotomy."
WWE legend shares the importance of standing for the national anthem, working with US military members
In a world where standing for the national anthem with your hand over your heart has become a topic for debate, WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg left no doubt on where he stood on the issue.
Goldberg, whose real name is Bill Goldberg, appeared on NewsNation and told former Charlotte 49ers head football coach Bill Poggi that his respect, appreciation and admiration for those who have served in the U.S. military is the reason why he shows allegiance when "The Star-Spangled Banner" is played.
CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK PRO WRESTLING COVERAGE
"Well, especially in today's day and age when people like to forget history and people don't necessarily appreciate who came before them," he said. "I stand for the national anthem and I put my hand over my heart because there's so many people who have put their lives on the line for people that they don't know just as a job to protect the country. And that, in itself, is a reason to stand up and show allegiance. I cannot tell you the joy that I get out of seeing these men and women deployed and deriving some type of enjoyment and excitement to interact with someone such as myself. So why wouldn't you spread that as much as humanly possible and make it part of every day of your life to try to put a smile on somebody's face and, in this case, a veteran who again put their lives on the line for people that they don't even know to serve their country?
"So for me, if I can go out of my way to pat someone on the back and look them in the eye and say thank you and have them understand that it's truly coming from my heart with no ulterior motive whatsoever. I don't care about getting somebody taking a picture of me shaking somebody's hand and posting it and showing what a good guy I am. That's not why I do it. I do it because I can look in their eye and see how much they appreciate it."
Goldberg credited his parents, his sister and those who came before him with teaching him "how to be a human being." He said, now, taking care of his children and his family along with "taking care of our military" are some of the most important things in his life.
He called it a "duty" to put a smile on somebody’s face whether it’s because they know him from his NFL, pro wrestling or acting backgrounds.
"And so I will service the kids and the military till the day I die," he added. "And it means everything to me. It truly does."
Goldberg played 14 games in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons between 1992 and 1994. He also spent time in the World League of American Football. After being cut by the Carolina Panthers in 1995, he would pop up in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) by the end of 1997.
He won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship once and was a three-time world champion in WWE.
The WWE inducted him into its Hall of Fame in 2018.
FBI investigates suspected homicide aboard MSC Seascape cruise ship after sudden return to Texas
The FBI is investigating a suspected homicide aboard a cruise ship that was ordered back to Texas just one day after setting sail on a weeklong voyage to Mexico and Honduras.
FBI Houston said agents responded Monday to the MSC Seascape after the ship docked in Galveston, Texas.
Few details about what happened aboard the ship have been released, including the identity of the person who died or the circumstances surrounding the suspected homicide.
"FBI Texas City is responding to a suspected homicide onboard the MSC Seascape cruise ship that docked in Galveston on November 9, 2026," FBI Houston said in a statement.
A Maritime Liaison Agent from the bureau's Texas City Resident Agency is coordinating with the U.S. Coast Guard, Port of Galveston Police Department, Customs and Border Protection and MSC Cruises, the agency added.
As the primary federal agency authorized to investigate potential crimes on the high seas, the FBI works with local and federal partners when alleged crimes occur aboard cruise ships.
MSC Cruises told Fox News Digital that authorities instructed the Seascape to return to Galveston after the cruise line reported an incident involving a guest.
"We are cooperating fully with the investigation and providing support to those impacted. The ship has left the port and resumed its planned itinerary," an MSC Cruises spokesperson said.

"As this is an active investigation, we cannot provide more details," the spokesperson added. "Our thoughts are with the guest’s family and friends at this difficult time."

The Seascape had departed Galveston at 4 p.m. Sunday and was not scheduled to return until Nov. 15, according to CruiseMapper.
The seven-night voyage included scheduled stops in Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico, as well as Roatan, Honduras. Its first scheduled port call was Wednesday in Costa Maya.
MSC Cruises describes the Seascape as a state-of-the-art ship offering seven-night Western Caribbean cruises from Galveston, with voyages to destinations in Mexico and Honduras.
LISTEN TO THE NEW 'CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO' PODCAST
The ship can carry more than 5,800 passengers and about 1,600 crew members and has 2,270 cabins across 19 decks. The Seascape entered service in 2022 and sails under the flag of Malta.
Authorities have not said when or where aboard the ship the suspected homicide occurred, how the person died or whether anyone has been detained or identified as a suspect.
The FBI also has not released the person's name, age or nationality.
Melania Trump scholarship recipient reveals how Fostering the Future helped her with LSU after foster care
An 18-year-old Louisiana State University (LSU) student who has spent nearly her entire life in foster care told "Fox & Friends" Monday that her scholarship secured through first lady Melania Trump's Fostering the Future initiative is helping ease the financial burden of pursuing a college education.
Ella Bennett, who entered foster care at age 3, was among the students recognized during Trump's visit to LSU over the weekend, where the first lady announced a $7.2 million scholarship endowment.
"The scholarship has definitely helped alleviate some financial stress, just because when applying, looking and going to college, I don't really have the financial support system that everybody else comes with," Bennett said.
MELANIA TRUMP SECURES $7.2M FOR FOSTER CARE SCHOLARSHIPS AT LSU AHEAD OF ALABAMA SHOWDOWN
She described meeting Trump as a "surreal experience."
"It was kind of like a breath of fresh air. I didn't really have too much of an impression going in, but I did definitely leave with a good one. She seemed genuinely interested in what I wanted to do with my life and where I wanted to go."
The permanent endowment includes a $5 million commitment from MMR Group, led by LSU alumnus James B. "Pepper" Rutland, and an additional $2.2 million raised from 75 LSU Foundation donors.
LSU Foundation President and CEO Krista Raney said the contributions had brought the scholarship fund to "more than $7.2 million and growing."
MELANIA TRUMP HELPS REUNITE FIFTH GROUP OF UKRAINIAN, RUSSIAN CHILDREN WITH FAMILIES
"Every young person from foster care should have the chance to build an extraordinary life. Education is the center of that plan," Trump said.
"It gives something no one can ever take away."
University President Wade Rousse said the $5 million leadership gift is expected to generate approximately $200,000 annually, helping students cover tuition, fees, books and room and board.
Bennett told Fox News the ceremony, where the first lady appeared flanked by LSU cheerleaders and the school's mascot, Mike the Tiger, was "very high energy."
"It felt great to put awareness out there for more foster kids and everything — just to see how big this program is really going to go," said Bennett.
Trump's Fostering the Future initiative is part of a landmark strategic alliance with Fox Corporation and IndyCar, which are each contributing $1 million, to expand academic opportunities for individuals transitioning from foster care.
The pact was announced at the White House ahead of the inaugural Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington, D.C.
At LSU over the weekend, Trump delivered a message of solidarity to the beneficiaries of the initiative.
"To the Foster the Future scholars here today and throughout America, I see you, I believe in you, and I will keep working to create new opportunities with you," she said.

Arizona golf is just different according to golfer who encountered a herd of javelinas
Playing golf in Arizona has its perks. The weather makes it possible to golf year-round. There's low humidity and a lot of courses to choose from.
There are also some unique animals which make for interesting encounters while out on the course. Golfer Mike Rodenbush, who goes by Mikey TeeTimes on social media, had one such encounter recently.
While he normally produces golf content for his followers and subscribers he found himself in the path of a herd of javelinas. The resilient desert mammals are found across Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.

That's going to land you on the radar of those hunting for outdoor content. That's how his video originally showed up on my Instagram feed. Prior to that, I had never heard of javelinas.
As you can see in this video, this group wasn’t interested in golf or the course at all. They were making their way across the cart path and into the woods.
That isn't always the case. Sometimes javelinas like to tear up a golf course foraging for food. A hotter than normal summer a few years ago is believed to have caused an unusual amount of damage to a northern Arizona golf course.
In 2023, Seven Canyons Golf Club was using chili oil to get javelinas to stop damaging their course. General manager Dave Bisbee said a failed attempt to use coyote urine a few years earlier had them trying out other methods.

"We’re still trying to figure out the right formulation in the chili oil we put out. It’s a delicate thing for the grass," Bisbee said at the time, reports AP.
"It’s a continuing dance we do."

There was no need for coyote urine or chili oil this time around. This group made an unexpected appearance and left without ripping the turf to shreds.
Of the possible animal encounters on a golf course, this has to be on the tamer side.
