Property owner advocacy groups push back on Mamdani's 'Rental Ripoff Report,' public database of landlords
Organizations that advocate on behalf of property owners called out New York City’s democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani in blistering statements to Fox News Digital.
Mamdani campaigned on freezing rents for New Yorkers and appears to have delivered on his crackdown on landlords, upsetting local property owners. He recently released a "Rental Ripoff Report," which makes the case that residents in the nation's largest city are paying too much rent while not receiving enough in return and offers 23 proposals to address the issue.
His administration also sparked controversy by publishing a searchable database identifying affluent property owners who could be subject to the city's proposed pied-à-terre tax, a move critics say could expose them to harassment and public safety risks.
The database, released by the city's Department of Finance, allows users to search properties and view the names and addresses of owners whose non-primary residences could be subject to the proposed tax. A spokesperson for the department said publication of the property roll was required by state law.
The Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) President James Whelan told Fox News Digital that Mamdani was addressing the problem in a counterproductive way.
"The Mayor's report focuses on symptoms, not causes," he said. "New Yorkers are paying record-high rents because there is not enough housing, and many of the reported conditions are concentrated in heavily rent-stabilized buildings that are facing significant operational and financial challenges."
"Rather than addressing these issues directly, the administration continues to paint property owners with a broad brush, unfairly characterizing an entire industry," Whelan continued. "Seven months into this administration, it is time to prioritize policies that will truly make New York more affordable by increasing housing supply and preserving existing housing."
In response to the searchable database, he warned that many smaller property owners will be caught in the crossfire of what he described as a clumsily directed policy.
"By publishing a database of properties that might be subject to this tax before the tax has even been enacted, City Hall has only added to the confusion surrounding this proposal," Whelan said. "What this database really demonstrates is that the second-home tax is far broader and more complicated than its supporters have suggested."
"Policymakers should take a hard look at the many homeowners who could be swept in despite not fitting the profile of the ultra-wealthy residents this tax was supposedly designed to target," he added.
NEW YORK CITY LANDLORDS WARN AMERICAN DREAM IS SLIPPING AWAY UNDER SOCIALIST RENT POLICIES
Ann Korchak, board president of Small Property Owners of New York (SPONY), condemned Mamdani’s influence on politics in a statement to Fox News Digital while discussing his campaign.
"From the start of his mayoral campaign, Mamdani put a target on the backs of property owners," she said. "Small owners are the backbone of the city’s affordable housing stock. We are part of the solution, not the problem, yet he ignores our frontline experience when planning the future of housing."
"Mamdani repeatedly doubles down on making us the villains, using political stunts like ‘rental rip-off hearings’ and using City Administration officials to go door-to-door to organize tenants while on the taxpayer dime," Korchak continued. "They are not tenant organizers, they’re city officials who represent all New Yorkers — including thousands of small owners."
She added that the hearings were cynical political theater.
"The rental rip-off hearings process was no more independent and objective than last month’s Mamdani-appointed Rent Guidelines Board delivering the rent freeze that the Mayor demanded," Korchak said. "These hearings were political theater to make a case against us. The findings were decided before the hearings concluded, just as the rent freeze was predetermined as we learned from the board member who resigned because of the rigged process."

She went on to warn that Mamdani’s policies will inevitably punish small businesses and immigrants.
"Mamdani’s housing agenda is stacked against us," Korchak told Fox News Digital. "His rent freeze sets us up for failure. The rents are frozen, but our operating costs and expenses — insurance, utilities, energy, repairs, labor — continue to skyrocket."
"Many rent-stabilized buildings are already at the edge of the economic cliff, and when our buildings fall into disrepair because of his policies, Mamdani will illegally take private buildings from mom-and-pop, immigrant, multi-generational owners and convert them into socialized housing or give them to his hand-picked nonprofit housing providers," she added.
Korchak concluded by warning that widespread damage will be done by his policy agenda.
"Mamdani’s pied-à-terre tax is another nail in the coffin," she said. "Creating fear and financial pressure on modest, multi-generational owners, who have poured their life savings, sweat equity and heart and soul into their properties, will destroy the fabric of neighborhoods."
"His list is a database that proves he is targeting property ownership as a whole," Korchak added. "No one is safe."
Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdani’s office but did not immediately receive a response.

Kelsey Grammer admits surprising reason 'Frasier' almost never happened
Kelsey Grammer is revealing the surprising twist that turned "Frasier" into one of television's most successful sitcoms.
The actor recently appeared on "Planet Tyrus," where he revealed he nearly starred in a different show after "Cheers" before one conversation changed everything.
Grammer spent nine seasons portraying the Boston psychiatrist on "Cheers," where the character evolved from Diane Chambers' love interest to one of the bar's most memorable regulars.
KELSEY GRAMMER SUSPECTS HE 'MAY HAVE' LOST HOLLYWOOD ROLES DUE TO CONSERVATIVE VIEWS
"It’s funny, I had visions," the star explained. "I’d been offered another show. They said, ‘We want to do a show with you when "Cheers" is over.’ They said, ‘We think you could actually carry a show on your own.’ I said, ‘Great.’ So we actually started doing it with the same writers that ended up on 'Frasier.' We wrote a completely different story, and they wrote a script. I thought it was kind of funny."
"I went out for dinner with John Pike, who was the president of Paramount at the time," the 71-year-old shared. "... I said, 'Have you read the script?' He said, 'Yeah. And I think a sitcom should be funny. ... This is what you guys have come up with? I don't like it. I think you should play Frasier.'"
"It was John Pike who said, 'Play Frasier.’"

Grammer was listening.
"I said, ‘OK, I see what you’re saying. Build an audience. I am kind of funny in the character. He can’t be married anymore, and he can’t have kids,’" Grammer said.
"He did have a son. ... My thing about sitcoms is if there's a child in it, the child growing up every year becomes the most interesting thing about the show. ... Becoming a young woman or becoming a young man is the only really interesting thing that's going on in front of you. So I got rid of that, had him come in once in a while."
Grammer said moving Frasier from Boston to Seattle helped separate the spinoff from "Cheers." It also gave a believable reason why his young son, Frederick, wasn't part of the show full-time instead of making the psychiatrist seem like a "deadbeat dad."
"[I] just had to be a man trying to find his way," said Grammer.
"Whose support payments were on time," Tyrus joked.

"Frasier" premiered on Sept. 16, 1993, and ran for 11 seasons before ending on May 13, 2004. The sitcom won 37 Primetime Emmy Awards and drew 25.2 million viewers for its series finale, becoming one of television's most acclaimed comedies.
In 2023, Grammer reprised his iconic role in the "Frasier" revival on Paramount+, which followed the psychiatrist's return to Boston. The series ran for two seasons before Paramount+ canceled it in 2025.
Noticeably absent from the reboot was John Mahoney, who played Grammer’s on-screen father, Martin Crane. Mahoney died in 2018 at 77.
"John was a remarkably fun guy," Grammer told Fox News Digital in 2021. "He was always kind and sweet and lovely. But the ironic thing about him — when I was directing him once on the show, I said, ‘John, let’s put the dog Eddie in your lap.’ And he says, ‘No, no.’ I said, ‘What’s going on?’ ‘He always bites me. He always growls at me. He scares me, and I don’t like it.’ So I thought, ‘Oh, this is weird. I had no idea.’"
"So they had to put a little sardine oil on his hands, so the dog would lick something instead of trying to growl at him or bite him. This love for Eddie that existed on the show really wasn’t real. It was just an on-camera love. They fought each other, and he was really funny about his relationship with the dog."
"... Every time I spoke to him, we just had a great time," Grammer continued. "We spent time in New York together off-screen, and I saw him in Chicago, and I saw him in Ireland once. He was just a wonderful guy."

At the time, Grammer said he was eager for what the future held, both personally and professionally.
"You know what? Life always inspired me," he said. "Life and the variety of experience is what inspires me. People inspire me; I love people. I mean, it’s odd that I ended up on a show that was based in a bar. My favorite places on Earth are bars. I’ve had the best experiences, met the most interesting people in bars around the world. And so, what keeps me going personally is that there is always another experience I haven’t known."
"... I'll go right up to the edge before it starts to get dangerous," he joked. "But I love it. I love riding horses, I love shooting guns, I love just exploring all the things that people can do and all the things that a character can do and show you. By virtue of the fact that you've played it, you've actually kind of lived it."
BROADCAST BIAS: Networks go from hiding Fauci diaries to defending him from Republicans
An easy way to demonstrate that the broadcast networks have a deep-seated Democratic Party bias is to evaluate how they cover congressional committee investigations. If a committee is assembled to destroy Republican reputations, everything it does is newsworthy. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s January 6 Committee was Exhibit A. It was "perfect," in that it had no Republican counterweight on it.
If a committee is trying to hold Democrats accountable for government overreach, the networks avoid it like … a deadly bat virus. On July 25, Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul released more than 1,100 pages of COVID-19 czar Dr. Anthony Fauci's personal diary (from his government computer) spanning 2019 to 2022.
Two days later, "CBS Evening News" broke the network silence with a 24-second report. Then there was nothing for another two days until the morning Fauci was scheduled to appear before Paul’s committee.
FAUCI'S NEWLY RELEASED COVID DIARIES REVEAL BIZARRE FIXATION ON FAME AS PANDEMIC DEATHS MOUNTED
It's not like there was nothing newsworthy in Fauci’s diary entries. For example, he admitted early on that COVID did not emerge from the Wuhan wet markets, but he spent 2020 aggressively denouncing the lab-leak thesis as a fringy conspiracy theory – with much media amplification.
Surely, the entries the networks hated the most were the references to the fawning friendships he developed with TV anchors and hosts. ABC’s George Stephanopoulos texted, "Thank you, Tony, so impressive" after one interview. He recounted a warm conversation with then-NBC anchor Chuck Todd about how to deal with the cantankerous conservative media.
In July 2020, Fauci gushed that he was forming a friendship with CNN’s Jake Tapper. "Had dinner over Jake Tapper and Jen Tapper’s home in DC. Terrific couple. Friendship building," Fauci wrote. Later that month, Fauci wrote that he "gave Jake some questions to ask" Trump adviser and pediatrician Brett Giroir during a very hostile interview on CNN’s "State of the Union."
INSIDE FAUCI'S PRIVATE DIARY: WHAT HE WROTE ABOUT TRUMP, TV PERSONALITIES AND CELEBRITIES
Then on Oct. 23, 2020, there was more: "Had dinner at my home with Jake and Jennifer Tapper. Relaxed, good time. Jake clearly believes that Trump is totally nuts." These dinners came at a time when this kind of socializing was strongly discouraged between family members, but clearly the elitist media and government officials were exempt from these orders.
Once the networks began covering the Fauci hearing, it became clear they were like Fauci’s unpaid defense lawyers. Before the hearing, ABC reporter Jay O’Brien fretted on "Good Morning America" that it would be a "fiery hearing" for poor Fauci at "85 years old," who "has long been a target" of Sen. Paul, noting his lawyer said Paul’s conducted a "years-long public crusade against the doctor, not a genuine quest for information." That sounds like ABC’s reporting on Trump.
"CBS Mornings" previewed the hearing with Biden transition-team adviser Dr. Celine Gounder, who bizarrely claimed Fauci never had authority to close the country down, even as Fauci bragged about all the politicians taking his advice. She also denied Fauci had ever reveled in being famous, which is just a brazen lie.
WATCH: FAUCI ATTORNEY EJECTED FROM SENATE HEARING AFTER CHAOTIC EXCHANGE: ‘YOU ARE NOT RECOGNIZED!’
On both NBC’s morning and evening news shows on hearing day, reporter Monica Alba actually quoted from Fauci’s writings, including the part reveling in his fame. But the networks repeatedly made it sound like Paul did something wrong or impolite in releasing Fauci’s "private diaries," which were composed on a government computer as preparation for his impending book deal.
"CBS Evening News" harped on the "angry Senate hearing" where Paul "kicked one of Fauci’s lawyers out" (for trying to answer for Fauci) while "Democrats accused the GOP of conducting a biased investigation." At least fill-in anchor Matt Gutman aired excerpts of his interview with National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a longtime Fauci critic, who explained there was American support for "gain-of-function" research to engineer a more dangerous virus in China.

On both Wednesday night and Thursday morning, ABC’s Jay O’Brien touted Fauci as "the man millions of Americans turned to for answers during the COVID pandemic." His refusal to answer was presented as merely sad: "The 85-year-old Fauci, who served in government for 54 years and has testified in more than 200 hearings, sitting stone-faced as Republicans needled him." Republicans pounced on The Science was the gist of it.
The drop-dead funniest proclamation came the next morning from ABC "Good Morning America" co-host George "so impressive, Tony" Stephanopoulos. He mourned it was "a sign of the times" that the Fauci hearing was "about as partisan as it gets." But there was somehow no partisanship during the January 6 hearings, as Stephanopoulos touted former Rep. Liz Cheney’s "lonely path" as a Republican serving Pelosi’s purposes.
So Republican hearings, when they’re actually mentioned on the news, are spun as angry partisan spectacles, but Democrat hearings are presented as the noblest expressions of democracy and accountability. This blatantly partisan spin is why public trust in the elitist media is so low.
Florida mail carrier accused of snatching pets on route, trapping 100-plus cats and dogs in ‘hoarding’ house
The "worst animal hoarding case" a Florida sheriff has ever seen is now expanding as more animals are being recovered.
Some of the rescued animals already have been reunited with owners who said they’d given up hope of ever seeing them again.
Gail Giustino, a 77-year-old mail carrier, was arrested July 20 after authorities found more than 100 animals held in feces-filled cages in her Stuart home. She’d been "collecting cats" she found along her mail route, Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said.
RIDGLAN FARMS RESCUE BEAGLES FIND NEW LIFE HELPING VETERANS OVERCOME WAR TRAUMA WITH PAWS OF WAR
With no air conditioning or ventilation, the home was "probably 110 degrees" on the late July day when the animals were removed, Budensiek said in a news conference on July 20 outside Giustino’s home.
"We were coming out here thinking maybe 15, 20, 30 cats," he told reporters, as people wearing white hazmat suits carried out cages holding dozens of cats and at least a dozen small dogs. There was "a foot of animal feces" in parts of the house, Budensiek said.
Some of the caged cats were held fast in feces that had hardened like concrete. Staffers had to smash bricks of feces from around the cats’ legs to allow them to move, Sarah Fisher, spokeswoman for the Humane Society of Treasure Coast, told Fox News Digital.
"When we cracked the door…the stench was unreal," Budensiek said. "The air was stifling hot." He went on to say, "She never walks the pets. She never brings them outside of the house. They've been confined to that animal jail really for however long she's been hoarding these pets."
PARTNER OF WOMAN KILLED BY DOGS RECENTLY SAVED NEIGHBOR WOUNDED IN SIMILAR ATTACK: COURT RECORDS
Investigators faced an "overwhelming" smell of "animal urine, feces, and ammonia," an odor that wafted outside the house, authorities said. The "deplorable" conditions inside the house left "no safe path of entry due to excessive debris, animal feces, and urine," investigators reported.
The odor inside the residence was so severe that it "presented a potential health hazard to responding personnel," arrest records show.
Since 2014, local animal control had issued "up to 65 civil citations" to Giustino for the conditions she’s kept animals, the sheriff said.

And code enforcement officers helped her add air-conditioning units, Budensiek said. But investigators found that those units were not working. And "we haven’t been out here checking on her for the last 10 years," he said.
Giustino could have been charged with up to 160 counts of animal cruelty, Budensiek said. Instead, she was charged with one misdemeanor count of animal cruelty and one misdemeanor count of confinement of animals without sufficient exercise. She was released on a $50,000 bond.
"We truly believe that Gail thinks she's doing the right thing," he said. "But she's doing it the wrong way."
He said, "The goal of arresting her was to be able to seize the animals, to save them from death and try to get them the help that they need."
They also hoped the process would lead to mental health treatment for Giustino, he said. She did not respond to a request for comment by Fox News Digital.
Giustino started working for the U.S. Postal Service in 1997 and is still employed, said Debra Jean Fetterly, a USPS spokesperson for South Florida.
"We are aware of the situation," Fetterly told Fox News Digital. "The Postal Service does not publicly discuss personnel matters."
Days after the arrest, Martin County officials were able to trap and bring in three of four cats that escaped during the rescue effort at Giustino’s home.
And a friend surrendered five more small dogs Giustino allegedly left in her care, Fisher said. By July 29, the humane society had received 108 animals from Giustino’s home.
"We unfortunately are anticipating more of Gail's animals to be coming in the coming weeks" from her friends’ homes, Fisher said. "The sheriff's looking into that right now."
"We don't know really what to expect, but we're prepared."
Meanwhile, staffers have struggled emotionally, she said, because the animals "were in pretty terrible shape."
"They were really just shut down. Some of the cats were catatonic; they wouldn't even move. They were traumatized."
But now, they’ve started showing signs of healing.
"It's actually filling our hearts right now because they have been coming out of their shells," Fisher said. "These cats that weren’t even lifting their heads up are now meowing and seeking attention, and I think they know they're safe."
The 12 tiny dogs recovered from Giustino’s home showed signs of improvement faster, she said.
They were thin, flea-covered, missing hair because of neglect, and were suffering with dental disease, Fisher said. They range in age from 2 to 8, she said, and many appear to be Yorkshire terriers, also known as Yorkies.
"Dogs are just different," Fisher said. "They were happy as could be. They knew they were saved and they were happy. … It's really giving us hope at the shelter."
Further bolstering spirits is the enthusiastic support from locals, Fisher said.
They’ve flooded the shelter with requests to adopt the neglected animals. They’ve brought pizzas, pastries and other treats for workers.
"It’s been beautiful to see," she said.
A big part of the project involves trying to arrange for reunions with potential owners.
On Friday morning, July 24, hearts overflowed with hope outside the shelter.
Dozens of people from all walks of life queued up in the blazing Florida heat, all waiting to see if their missing pets were among those rescued.
"We had 50-plus people, very, very eager right when the doors opened at 10 o’clock," she said.
"They were very wonderful and patient. And one by one, they were all walking out crying because their animals weren't with us."
Shelter employees had hoped for joyful reunions.
"There were grown men crying; there were kids crying. It was so emotional," Fisher said. "It was really, really hard."
By the end of that Friday, two more pet owners rejoiced over their unexpected reunions.
And staffers hope there will be more in the coming days as word spreads about the recovered animals, she said.
Any of the dogs and cats not claimed eventually will be available for adoption. There’s no timeline yet for that.

"We want to make sure that any of these owned animals are going to be going home with their owners, and we're not accidentally going to be adopting them out."
Linh Nguyen called her reunion with 6-year-old Patchy a clear answer to prayer.
He’d disappeared from her yard in early January.
"I’d been praying for his return for seven months," Nguyen told Fox News Digital.
As she prayed, she said she told God she knew it was just "a little thing, just a cat."
But her faith told her that anything was possible.
She posted fliers offering a $5,000 reward for Patchy’s return. She rode her bike through the neighborhood late at night calling his name until she was hoarse. And she kept praying.
"If You do a miracle and bring my cat home," she pleaded in faith, "I will tell everyone it is You."
Then she saw a news report about the rescued cats. She had a strong feeling her missing pet might be among them. And when she stepped into the Humane Society, he saw her right away, she said. She heard meowing that got progressively louder.
"I couldn’t see him, but I recognized his voice."
Now, Nguyen said, Patchy is thriving at home again and is enjoying walks on a leash.
She’s relieved to know that others are being reunited with their pets, she said. And she’s glad to know that Giustino "will get the help that she needs."
"This," Nguyen said, "is a pure miracle."
Skin condition under the eyes goes viral as doctors warn it could signal hidden health issue
Dark under-eye circles may be more than a cosmetic concern. Doctors say they can sometimes signal low iron stores — a condition that's gone viral on social media under the name "ferritin face."
Experts say there's some truth behind the trend — with important caveats.
Ferritin can be thought of as the body's "iron storage vault," according to Dr. Josef Hadeed, a double board-certified plastic surgeon at Hadeed Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, California. It is a protein that stores iron inside the body's cells and releases it when needed.
LOW TESTOSTERONE? HEGSETH SPARKS CONVERSATION AS DOCTORS REVEAL WARNING SIGNS EVERY MAN SHOULD KNOW
"When ferritin levels drop, the body struggles to produce hemoglobin, which is the iron-rich protein within your red blood cells that transports oxygen to the tissues," Hadeed told Fox News Digital.
Low iron levels can compromise skin elasticity, which can make the tissue appear thinner and less resilient, the doctor said.
When hemoglobin is low, the skin can lose its healthy color and appear pale, making the naturally darker tissue beneath the eyes more noticeable, Hadeed noted.
Besides pale skin and dark under-eye circles, other symptoms may signal that someone is lacking iron.
CARLY SIMON REVEALS THE COMMON CONDITION THAT MASKED HER PARKINSON'S DIAGNOSIS
"The severity of these symptoms generally increases as ferritin decreases," Dane Thomas, a Texas-based hematology/oncology physician’s associate who specializes in the care of patients with hematologic disorders and cancer, told Fox News Digital.
Low energy, fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness, headaches, fainting, brittle or thin nails, hair loss, cravings to chew ice, and restless legs syndrome are a few signs, according to Thomas.
"Some patients also experience decreased exercise tolerance, difficulty concentrating or shortness of breath with exertion," he said.
Other symptoms can include pounding or "whooshing" in the ears, a sore or smooth tongue, rapid heartbeat, intolerance to cold and poor sleep, according to the American Society of Hematology.
Beyond cosmetic concerns, ferritin face may signal an underlying medical condition, including chronic bleeding, gastrointestinal disorders or cancers, or malabsorption, according to hematological experts.
With the rise in bariatric surgery, more patients are developing iron deficiency due to impaired iron absorption, Thomas said. Certain over-the-counter acid-suppressing medications, including proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and H2-receptor blockers, may also contribute to low iron.
While treating iron deficiency is important, identifying and addressing its underlying cause is equally critical, he said.
"Whenever possible, I work with my patients to determine why their iron deficiency developed so we can reduce the likelihood that it will recur," Thomas told Fox News Digital. "This often involves collaboration with gastroenterologists, gynecologists or other specialists to evaluate for sources of blood loss or malabsorption."

Pregnancy, heavy menstrual bleeding and frequent blood donation can also contribute to lower iron levels. Vegetarians, vegans and those who follow diets that do not include iron-rich foods may also be at risk, according to the American Society of Hematologists.
If a person thinks they may have low ferritin, it is important to see a physician.
"This is not something that someone should self-treat, and I always advise them to seek professional help," Hadeed advised. "Unlike water-soluble vitamins, the body has no easy mechanism to excrete excess iron, and over-supplementation can lead to increased levels of iron in the body, which can affect the liver and heart."
A simple blood test by a healthcare professional can determine iron levels. Further evaluation may include stool and urine tests to look for blood, along with endoscopy to examine the esophagus, stomach and colon. Women may also undergo a gynecological evaluation, according to experts.
TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ
Treatment for iron deficiency may include oral supplementation and, in cases of severe anemia, intravenous (IV) iron or blood transfusions.
"The biggest drawback of oral iron is gastrointestinal side effects, including nausea, constipation, abdominal discomfort and stomach upset," Thomas noted.

"These side effects can often be minimized by taking iron every other day rather than daily, a strategy that also maintains excellent absorption for many patients."
He also recommends spacing them apart from calcium supplements, dairy products and antacids, which can affect absorption.
Following a diet that includes iron-rich foods can also help, according to the American Society of Hematology website.
Some examples include beef, pork, or lamb; organ meats like liver, chicken, turkey, duck and fish (especially shellfish, sardines and anchovies); leafy greens, such as broccoli, kale, turnip greens and collard greens; legumes, including lima beans, peas, pinto beans and black-eyed peas; and iron-enriched pastas, grains, rice and cereals.
Ferritin face is reversible, Hadeed emphasized.
Once iron stores are safely restored and hemoglobin levels rebound, the skin recovers its healthy capillary flush, and dark under-eye circles tend to fade over several months.

Liv Morgan told Fox News Digital earlier this year she was "everyone’s dream match." Whether that was true for Iyo Sky has yet to be seen. Morgan gets her first Women’s World Championship title defense against the Queen of the Ring. Sky won the tournament at Night of Champions, defeating Morgan in the final and then choosing her as her target. Morgan has been the champion since defeating Stephanie Vaquer at WrestleMania 42. The question will be whether she has any ring rust going into the match against Sky.
Prediction: Iyo Sky returns to the top of the women’s division.

Nick Aldis was a decorated world champion before injuries forced him toward a different role. He hasn’t appeared in in-ring competition since he was with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), which was then-called Impact Wrestling. But his feud with Gunther will culminate in his first match in nearly three years. Gunther has continuously accused Aldis of dropping the ball when it came to him and putting him off to the side. Gunther maintains he’s the best superstar on SmackDown but hasn’t been treated like it. It all came to a head at Night of Champions when Gunther attacked Aldis backstage. The two have been fighting ever since and Aldis was given the green light to fight Gunther at SummerSlam.
Prediction: Gunther wins a hard-fought match.

Oba Femi put off his King of the Ring title opportunity to take on Brock Lesnar in the trilogy fight. Lesnar upped the ante when he said the match would take place in a Hell in a Cell. It’s going to be one of the biggest fights of the weekend and could very well steal the show. Femi could very well slay "The Beast" one final time. Lesnar could prove that he still has it and never lost a step.
Prediction: Femi wins and gets into the world title picture.

The tension between CM Punk and Cody Rhodes had been palpable even before WrestleMania 42 when the two champions met in the ring on the go-home SmackDown show. While they were more friends than enemies then, things exploded Friday night when the two men finally exchanged blows. Punk became the champion when he knocked off Sami Zayn for the title and ended his reign after nine days. Rhodes was pinned by Zayn and decided to take his own shot at Punk’s title. Their rivalry finally returns to a WWE ring on Saturday night with the Undisputed WWE Championship on the line.
Prediction: Punk retains the title
World Series champion Joe Girardi reveals what he finds most 'disturbing' about politics today
World Series champion Joe Girardi revealed what is most "disturbing" to him about politics today.
Girardi, 61, has been in clubhouses for a long time as both a player and a manager. He played 15 seasons in the major leagues as a catcher and then managed for nearly 14 years. The All-Star catcher talked about the difference in politics from then to now.
"I think politics unfortunately has become a hot button for the United States of America unfortunately and it separates us — before where I felt it didn't separate us. That's the most disturbing," Girardi told Fox News Digital in a recent interview.

The former New York Yankees manager said there were "absolutely" more conversations in the clubhouse about politics toward the end of his time in the dugout than at the beginning of his career.
He said that as a manager, he would tell players to listen to each other.
"I would just tell guys to be patient and listen to each other and understand that you're going to have different views and just be respectful. I mean, you don't have to have the same view. We all grew up different. That's the bottom line, different backgrounds. And just be patient with each other," Girardi said.
WORLD SERIES CHAMPION JOE GIRADI REVEALS THE TWO MAJOR THINGS IMPACTING THE TRADE DEADLINE
Girardi, who won three World Series as a player during his 15-year career and one as a manager of the New York Yankees, said he doesn’t think politics becomes an issue within a clubhouse.
"I don't think it really becomes a problem in too many clubhouses because I think there's a common goal and they find a way to come together with a common goal and that's to win," Girardi told Fox News Digital on behalf of Perfect Game.
Girardi spent the first four seasons of his career with the Chicago Cubs, the next three with the Rockies, the next four with the Yankees and returned to the Cubs for three years before spending his final season with the Cardinals. He made the All-Star Game in 2000 with the Cubs.
He had a career .267 batting average with 36 home runs and 424 RBI. After his playing career, he became a manager. He spent one season with the Miami Marlins in 2006 and then managed the Yankees for 10 seasons, beginning in 2008. Girardi most recently managed the Phillies for 2½ years from 2020 to 2022.

Savannah Guthrie makes desperate plea six months after mom Nancy went missing: 'Someone knows something'
NBC "TODAY" co-host Savannah Guthrie made a desperate plea for the public's help in a Saturday morning social media post, exactly six months since her mother Nancy was reported missing.
"This is our beautiful Mom. Six months ago, someone took her out of her bed in the dead of night. We have lived every moment, every breath, and every heartbeat in agony and despair ever since," Guthrie wrote to open her Instagram message.
"Every day, we wake up and try to be strong and go on - because that’s what our joyful and resilient Mom taught us to do," she continued. "But make no mistake - our hearts are in ruins. Cam and Kristine, Annie and Tommy, Mike and me - we spend every waking moment thinking of her, longing for her, looking for her."
"There is a hole inside us that can never be filled," Savannah wrote. "There is an ache that cannot be softened. And there is a determination in us that cannot be quenched - to find out what happened to her, so that we can give her the dignity of a proper goodbye - a celebration of her remarkable life that she so deserves."
NEW DETAILS FROM NANCY GUTHRIE RANSOM DEMAND REVEALED, 'HER LIFE IS IN YOUR HANDS': REPORT
Guthrie's early morning post came just one day after the Pima County Sheriff's Department released a pair of ransom notes Friday in the hopes that someone might recognize the documents' "unique linguistic style."
"We are begging for help. We are desperate," Savannah's post continued. "We need someone to come forward. Someone knows something. Someone suspects something. Someone recognizes the writing in the ransom demand notes."
"Someone has noticed something different, strange, troubling or just unusual - perhaps with someone they deeply love," she wrote. "Perhaps they are afraid to come forward. Perhaps they are conflicted. Perhaps they are angry or upset for being in this situation. There is a way out - to tell what you know. You can do so anonymously. The reward is available. There is a way to end this situation and do the right thing."
"We are real people, facing real grief, doing the best we can, and counting our many blessings along the way - most especially the prayers and love from good people, which we feel deeply. We need your prayers, we need your kindness. We need the good to be stronger than the evil. If you are following this story for entertainment or for profit, you are not on her side - you are part of the harm perpetrated against her. We will never stop looking for answers - and we will never stop looking for the light. We will always be hoping and praying and believing in the best of our world - in spite of circumstance. This is what our faith makes possible. Please. Bring her home," she concluded.
The 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was last seen outside her home in the Catalina Hills near Tucson, Arizona, on Jan. 31.
The home's doorbell camera recorded a masked intruder disconnecting the cameras at approximately 1:47 a.m. local time on Feb. 1.
At 2:28 a.m., her pacemaker lost its Bluetooth connection to her cell phone, according to the Pima County Sheriff's Department.
The newly released ransom notes, which the sheriff's department said were sent on Feb. 2 and Feb. 6, demanded a ransom of $4 million to be paid in Bitcoin, while the author threatened to kill Nancy Guthrie.
The notes included references to the crime scene that may not have been public at the time they were sent — including details about the location of Guthrie's Apple Watch and the smashed floodlight in her backyard. Fox News Digital first learned about the watch on the morning of Tuesday, Feb. 3. According to authorities, the note had been sent the day before, on Monday, Feb. 2, indicating the sender knew about it before the information began to seep out into the public sphere.

The dinner candle you're actually supposed to eat as restaurants chase memorable experiences
A South Florida entrepreneur believes the next big innovation in entertaining isn't another kitchen gadget or smartphone app. It's a candle you can eat.
Claudia Mosley, founder of CeraViva, has created handcrafted edible candles that melt into warm dipping sauces and dessert spreads, transforming an ordinary meal into what she calls "an experience."
"The product is not really the candle," Mosley told Fox News Digital. "The candle is the vehicle. The product is the experience that you're giving your guests."
CHEF WHO FLED COMMUNIST COUNTRY OPENS WORLD'S FIRST MICHELIN-STARRED CUBAN RESTAURANT
Made with organic and premium ingredients, the candles are designed to pair with bread, vegetables, seafood, meats or desserts, Mosley said.
Savory flavors include chimichurri, shrimp scampi and parmesan cream, while sweet varieties include raspberry cream, apple pie and a new Key lime pie flavor.
Mosley said her sweet candles contain no added sugar.

"They're sweet, but they're not super sweet," she said. "They have the perfect balance."
Each candle is crafted to encourage people to put away their phones and spend time connecting around the dinner table, Mosley said.
The business represents more than culinary creativity for Mosley. Born in Colombia, the 50-year-old mother of four immigrated to the United States as a teenager and built a successful merchant services company with her identical twin sister before launching CeraViva.

Mosley said she's been living the "true American dream."
That entrepreneurial mindset has shaped every step of the venture. Mosley said she has invested more than $20,000 to launch the business, obtaining the necessary state licenses, moving production into a commercial kitchen and developing a patented formula designed to withstand shipping and refrigeration.
Consumers can purchase the candles directly from CeraViva's website for $38, but Mosley said her bigger goal is getting them onto restaurant tables.

"Every restaurant is looking for an experience," she said.
Diners would order the edible candle as an appetizer before their meal, giving it 20 to 25 minutes to melt into a warm dipping sauce while they talk, she said.
TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ
Mosley's edible candles are meant to create conversation, encourage families to unplug and give restaurants a memorable experience customers can't get at home.
Whether the edible candle becomes the next viral dining trend remains to be seen, but Mosley is betting the simple act of lighting a flame can help rekindle something she believes many families have lost — meaningful time together.
Unearthed posts show Heartland Dem candidate rallying in favor of child gender surgery: 'Radical as it gets'
FIRST ON FOX: Nebraska Democratic congressional nominee Denise Powell publicly opposed Nebraska's 2023 law restricting gender transition procedures for minors, calling it "discriminatory and hateful" and urging supporters to contact lawmakers, according to unearthed social media posts that are generating pushback from critics.
Before becoming her party's nominee, Powell made multiple Facebook and TikTok posts opposing LB 574, Nebraska's "Let Them Grow Act," which prohibits gender transition procedures for minors and regulates the use of puberty blockers and hormone treatments for those under 19.
In a March 2023 Facebook post, Powell, listed as an administrator on The Bellwether Initiative Nebraska page, urged Nebraskans to contact their state senators and join her at the Capitol on the final day of the first round of floor debate over the bill while wearing a shirt that read "PROTECT TRANS KIDS."
"Today is the final day of the first round of floor debate on LB 574, a bill that would prohibit and punish healthcare providers from providing gender affirming care to children under the age of 19," she wrote.

"Laws like this one are passing all over the country — Iowa, Kentucky, Tennessee, to name a few. Nebraska has the opportunity to set an example; to show trans kids and families around the country that we won't stand for this discriminatory and hateful behavior."
Powell also praised lawmakers "fighting this on the front line" and urged supporters to "call or tweet at your senators TODAY."
"Trans people belong in Nebraska and everywhere and we will never ever stop fighting for their right to exist and thrive," she wrote.
Powell also took to TikTok under the username "dbpinomaha" to oppose the legislation.
In a video posted Feb. 8, 2023, Powell wrote, "Aaaaand we're back, this time to oppose LB 574, a bill that would make it illegal for kids to access gender-affirming care," before the video showed her sipping from a mug beneath the words, "Lord it's too early for the garbage."
The video then showed a photo of the Nebraska State Capitol exterior with the words, "Democracy happens here. Sometimes," before cutting to footage of protesters holding signs reading, "Trans Nebraskans Belong."
The video also included photos appearing to show Powell in her car holding one of the protest signs herself.

"LB 574 hurt kids," she wrote in the caption. "Call your senator and tell them TRANS NEBRASKANS BELONG."
In a separate TikTok posted on March 31, 2023, Powell shared a video of student walkouts at high schools around Omaha and Lincoln, writing that students had walked out in support of transgender youth and adding, "we are here for it!"
The Nebraska Legislature passed LB 574 by a 33-15 vote, and Gov. Jim Pillen later signed it into law.
That same year, Nebraska First PAC poll found that 61% of likely Nebraska voters supported prohibiting "gender altering procedures like surgeries, puberty blockers, or hormone therapies" for those under 19, while 78% agreed children should wait until adulthood before undergoing "irreversible, sex-change surgeries."
In April, a bill from Republican state Sen. Kathleen Kauth to expand LB 574 by banning puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for those under 19 failed to advance, according to the Nebraska Examiner .
"NE-2 is a swing district known for electing moderates, but Denise Powell is about as radical as it gets," Jon Schweppe, former Trump official at the FTC and senior advisor at American Principles Project, told Fox News Digital.
"Not only has she been an advocate for transgender sex changes for kids, but she served on the board of an organization which opposes parental rights in education and promotes an 'LGBTQ liberation' curriculum for fifth graders. These are the issues she clearly cares about the most."
Zach Bannon, a spokesperson for the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) told Fox News Digital that Powell is a "rubber stamp for the radical far-left, supporting their most extreme policies, including sex change surgeries for kids."
"Denise Powell continues to prove that she rejects common sense and is completely out of touch with Nebraska values," Bannon added.
Powell is challenging Republican Omaha City Councilman Brinker Harding for Nebraska's open 2nd Congressional District, a seat Democrats are seeking to flip as Republicans try to hold on to their razor-thin majority in the House of Representatives.
According to her campaign website, Powell says her priorities are lowering costs, protecting healthcare access and abortion rights, supporting workers, and opposing President Donald Trump's "abuse of power and attacks on our democracy."
Fox News Digital reached out to Powell's campaign multiple times for comment.
