Donald Trump repeatedly compares himself to Ronald Reagan & is pressed on abortion views by all-women crowd at town hall

DONALD Trump has aligned his views on abortion to that of former President Ronald Reagan as the Republican presidential candidate spoke at an all-women town hall.

With less than three weeks left before Election Day, Trump and his team are pounding the campaign trail, looking to make strides in critical battleground states that will determine which candidate takes up residence in the White House in January.

On Tuesday, Trump was joined by Fox News Channel anchor Harris Faulkner at a town hall as he took questions from an all-female audience about issues besetting the nation, including abortion, immigration, and childcare.

The prerecorded town hall, which was held in Cumming, Georgia, about 40 miles north of Atlanta, premiered on Wednesday’s edition of The Faulkner Focus.

Trump, 78, compared his stance on abortion with that of Ronald Reagan but spoke loftily about the 40th president’s policies on family childcare.

The Republican presidential nominee said the issue of abortion has divided the country for over half a century but believes there are exceptions for why a woman could seek to terminate her pregnancy.

“For 52 years, the issue has torn our country apart,” Trump said when asked by a town hall attendee about why the US government is involved in women’s basic rights.

“Every legal scholar, the greats ones, every lawyer, but the Democrats, the Republicans, the liberals, and conservatives, they wanted it brought out of the federal government and brought back to the states for a vote of the people.

“And, like Ronald Reagan, I believe in the exceptions for rape, incest, life of the mother – I strongly believe, you know, you have to follow your heart.”

Trump continued, “Some people don’t. It’s a very small percentage, but you have to follow your heart.

“But you have the exceptions. But with what we were able to do is through really the courage of six Supreme Court justices, we were able to do this after years and years of turmoil.”

When a single mother of two asked Trump what realistic changes he would make to help struggling families with childcare if elected to a second term, the former president brought up the child tax law he signed in 2017.

“I have you the largest tax cuts in the history of our country,” he said before taking a dig at former President Reagan, “Okay, larger than the Reagan cuts. Larger.

“I understand exactly what you’re saying. We’re going to readjust things so that it’s fair to everybody, because it’s really not fair to everybody.

“But we have a lot, and we’re going to we’re going up higher, but we’re also going to readjust because you have to make some readjustments.

“It’s unfair to some people, and we’re not going to have that.”

Tampa Bay Rays look for new 2025 MLB season home with Tropicana Field’s roof repair cost at $39m after Hurricane Milton

THE Tampa Bay Rays are officially on the search for a new home after Hurricane Milton left them with a huge repair bill.

Tropicana Field had the roof completely shredded last week as the storm battered parts of Florida.

The Rays were left facing a repair which could cost up to an estimated $39 million.

And they were also in a race against time to get the stadium ready for the start of the 2025 season at the end of March.

A new report in the Tampa Bay Times said it will not be ready for the season opener.

To complicate matters, the Rays are planning on moving to a new ballpark adjacent to Tropicana Field in St Petersburg, Florida in 2028.

No decision has yet been taken on whether to press ahead with a massive repair bill, given their plans to move.

The Sun reported this week that the New York Yankees could help rescue the Rays.

The region is a hot bed for baseball with no shortage of ballparks.

The Yankees play their Spring Training home games at George M. Steinbrenner Field.

The ballpark is located next door to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Raymond James Stadium.

It has a capacity of 14,000 fans and is closer to downtown Tampa than the Rays’ Tropicana Field home.

The Tampa Bay Rays averaged 17,781 fans per game in 2023 – less than half of Tropicana Field’s 42,375 capacity.

But the team could have sellout crowds every night in a ballpark closer to their home city at the Yankees’ base.

The Sun understands that most Spring Training bases in the region escaped serious damage from Hurricane Milton.

And any damage is highly unlikely to cause any issues for Spring Training in February and March next year.

One issue facing the Rays if they stay local is the summer heat in Florida.

Temperatures could make it tough for them to play outdoors.

And some ballparks that are used for Spring Training will need facilities upgraded to host the regular-season.

Tampa Bay could follow the Oakland Athletics’ lead and relocate for three years before the new stadium is opened.

The A’s have moved to Sutter Health Park in Sacramento, California.

Their lease at the Oakland Coliseum has expired and their new stadium on the Las Vegas strip will not be ready until 2028.

Android owners must learn to ‘lock’ app to screen so nosy pals can’t snoop around your pictures

YOUR Android phone has a clever trick to stop people from snooping on your pictures.

It’s called app pinning and it stops friends or family from roaming around your phone.

a screenshot of the security and privacy page on a phone
Google / Android
You can find app pinning inside your Settings app[/caption]

Imagine you want to show someone something on your phone, like a YouTube video.

If it’s a child or a friend, you might not want them roaming freely across your phone.

And if a child is using your Android phone, it’s the perfect way to stop them seeing anything they shouldn’t – or accidentally deleting your files.

Google explains: “You can pin an app’s screen to keep it in view until you unpin it.

“For example, you can pin an app and hand your phone to a friend.

“With the screen pinned, your friend can use only that app. To use your other apps again, you can unpin the screen.”

If the person tries to leave the app, they’ll be prompted to enter your passcode.

Without that, they won’t be able to leave the app to snoop.

HOW TO TURN ON APP PINNING ON ANDROID

Just go into the Settings app on your Android phone.

Then tap on Security (or Security & Location), then choose Advanced > App Pinning.

Now just turn App Pinning on and you’ll be able to pin a screen.

Go to the screen that you’re trying to pin – like the YouTube app.

Then swipe up to the middle of your screen and hold.

At the top of the image, tap on the app’s icon and then choose Pin.

If you’re using an older phone running Android 8.1 or earlier, go to the screen that you want to pin and then tap Overview (a square icon).

Then swipe up to show the Pin icon at the bottom-right of your chosen screen, and then tap it.

HOW TO UNPIN A SCREEN ON ANDROID

To unpin a screen, you’ve got three options.

With gesture navigation, you’ll want to swipe up and hold.

TRY GUEST MODE TOO!

There's another trick worth learning...

It’s called Guest Mode, and it’s built directly into Android.

Google explains: “A guest profile is for someone using your device for a short time.

“Like a user, the guest profile has its own space on the device, but it’s easier to delete this space when a guest is done with the device.”

Swipe down from the top of your screen to enter Quick Settings, then tap the User icon and choose Add Guest.

You can then switch to that guest profile, and it won’t include your private info.

Guests can sign in on their own accounts using the profile.

And then you can totally wipe it afterwards.

If you’ve got two-button navigation turned on, touch and hold the Back and Home buttons.

With three-button navigation, touch and hold the Back and Overview buttons.

You’ll then be asked for your PIN, pattern, or password to break out of the pinned app.

Remember that a person will only stay locked inside an app if they don’t know your passcode.

Nick Jonas sprints off stage in terror in the middle of Prague concert after ‘fan points laser at him’

NICK Jonas was seen sprinting off stage in terror in the middle of his recent concert in Prague.

The Jonas Brothers star was seen looking panicked at one of the band’s concerts with it claimed that a “laser was pointed at him”.

The rest of the band members followed him, and after 10 minutes the concert resumed.

Nick, 32, was seemingly forced to stop the show and sprint off the stage at the O2 Arena in the capital of the Czech Republic, as per a video circulating social media.

It is also claimed that “someone pointed a laser at him.”

“I saw on Twitter that apparently someone pointed a laser at him, so he ran off, followed by Joe and Kevin, and then the whole band left and the show was stopped fro a few mins before continuing,” someone commented under a video on TikTok.

The video, which was shared online by Instagram fan account JonasDailyNews_, had a caption that read, “The person was removed from the venue and the show continued.

“I’m glad Nick and the rest of the best is safe.”

Nick was spotted making a “time out” signal with his hands toward his security as he rushed down the stairs and away from the stage.

Joe, 35, and Kevin, 36, also ran off the stage, but with the show resuming soon after, it seems that all was resolved and the guys are fine.

With the video circulating social media, fans of the singer have shared their thoughts on the incident that led to him fleeing the stage.

‘GOOD DECISION’

“He just ran away to secure his life, good decision. Life is precious for everyone,” penned one on Facebook.

“Why would someone in the audience feel it necessary to do that?????” quizzed a second.

“Quick and smart decision by Nick,” added a third.

A fourth person then said, “Entertainers do not need to be subject to this behavior!!!!”

‘NICK LOOKED PANICKED’

On Reddit, one user commented on the video and said, “Nick looked so panicked. Glad it was nothing and they could finish the show. But his reaction was 100% the right one if a laser is pointed at you in that situation.

“And seriously, what are people doing pointing a laser at someone’s head in the first place. People need to be better.”

Nick Jonas Broadway Career

Nick Jonas is a veteran to the Broadway stage

  • The Jonas Brothers singer made his debut in the 2001 production of Annie Get Your Gun
  • He later starred as Chip in Beauty and the Beast and played Marius in the 25th anniversary concert of Les Miserables
  • In 2012, Nick led Broadway’s How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying
  • He most recently appeared on Broadway as the Jonas Brothers did a five-day residency in 2023

While a second added, “Shame on whoever pointed a laser at them anyways. So disrespectful and immature.”

And a third penned, “He looked liked he was in a panic. His awareness was kinda amazing. I would be 1000% cautious too.”

This comes as the hunky boyband is expected to be back on-stage tonight in Krakow.

The guys haven’t shared anything on social media about the incident, with their show tonight thought to be going ahead as usual.

Shocking moment LSU cheerleader appears to shove Ole Miss rival player after scoring touchdown as fans call for ban

A male LSU cheerleader is under fire on social media after appearing to put hands on an opposing player.

LSU pulled off an upset over Ole Miss on Saturday, but some bad blood was left on the field during the game.

Late in the game, LSU player Mason Taylor found an opening in the Ole Miss defense and scored a game-winning touchdown.

As he fought for the end zone, Ole Miss defender Trey Washington attempted to push him out of bounds before he crossed the goal line.

Taylor did get in the end zone though, and one of the cheerleaders on the sideline appeared unhappy with the defender after the play.

TV cameras captured the moment when the male cheerleader shoved Washington in the back and taunted him as LSU celebrated.

The Ole Miss player paid no attention to the cheerleader, but fans got a good look at the incident.

College football viewers had mixed opinions about the incident and shared their thoughts on social media.

“Cheerleader assault!!!” one fan said.

“Officials missed a late hit on that Ole Miss defender by the LSU cheerleader,” another fan said.

“Get that man at linebacker. Text book tackle,” a third fan said.

“The most unhinged school in the nation!” a fourth fan said.

“So is that LSU guy cheerleader going to be allowed to push the Ole Miss DB like that out of bounds? Dude doesn’t deserve to be allowed on the sidelines for the year for that,” a fifth fan said.

LSU ended up getting the win over Ole Miss after the sideline scuffle, giving them a 5-1 record on the season and propelling them up to No. 8 in the rankings.

Ole Miss fell to 5-2 and dropped to No. 18 in the college football rankings.

While it was a good game on the field, a lot of attention was turned to some of the fans in the crowd.

Cheering on the LSU Tigers was famous gymnast Olivia Dunne and her MLB boyfriend Paul Skenes.

Skenes pitched in 23 games, securing an 11-3 record alongside a 1.96 ERA.

Two-time Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl winner brutally cut from contract after making $25m in career earnings

A TWO-TIME winning Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl winner has been brutally cut from his contract.

The Buffalo Bills decided to release Marquez Valdes-Scantling on Monday evening.

It came just hours after they traded for fellow wide receiver Amari Cooper with the Cleveland Browns.

And according to NFL Media insider Ian Rapoport, that means the end of Valdes-Scantling in Buffalo.

He only signed with the team in the offseason as a free agent.

The 30-year-old has just two catches for 26 yards this year.

He made six appearances in the 2024-25 NFL campaign, but had little production.

And the addition of Cooper all-but ended any hope of him getting targets from quarterback Josh Allen.

Their other wideouts include Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman.

Curtis Samuel and Mack Hollins complete the WRs on the roster.

Valdes-Scantling is now on the lookout for a new team in the NFL.

The former fifth-round pick started his career with the Green Bay Packers.

He played there from 2018 to 2021.

The veteran then spent the next two years with the Chiefs.

This is where he won back to back Super Bowl rings under head coach Andy Reid.

He has 188 career receptions for 2,181 yards and 16 touchdowns.

Valdes-Scantling has made nearly $25 million from contracts during his NFL career.

And there has now been talk he could be heading back to the Chiefs in a shock return.

They are in need of a wide receiver after Rashee Rice’s feared season-ending knee injury.

Cooper is a five-time Pro-Bowler, and will cost just $806,000 for his season-long contract.

He had reworked his deal with the Browns in the offseason to make a trade easier to complete.

In exchange for Cooper and a 2025 sixth-round pick, Cleveland got a 2025 third-round pick and 2026 seventh-rounder.

I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead’s second episode will then be made available on October 29 and feature The Morning Show star Billy Crudup.

This comes a month after Rachael sparked health concerns when she shared a video on Instagram.

According to worried fans, the celebrity chef appeared to slur her words in a preview for an episode of Rachael Ray in Tuscany.

In the video, Rachael paid tribute to legendary singer Tony Bennett by sharing the recipe for his favorite dish.

She recalled the time Tony came to Rachael’s house for dinner with his wife Susan Benedetto.

Reacting to the clip of Rachael recalling her memories of the late singer, one fan commented they were “seriously concerned” about the chef.

Some fans even noted that her speech sounded “slurred” in parts of the video.

SLURRED SPEECH?

“She got emotional talking about her friend is all,” another Instagram user said.

Rachael Ray Television Shows

Rachael Ray has been on TV since 2001, cooking up recipes and working with other celebrity chefs. Here are the TV programs that she has hosted

30 Minutes Meals – 2001 to 2012, Food Network

While someone else said, “She’s aging like the rest of us. Maybe she has a medical condition, maybe she is on medication. Regardless, no need to be mean.”

This wasn’t the first time Rachael’s fans were concerned for her, because back in the summer some said they “hardly recognized her” in a TikTok video.

“OMG, I didn’t realize it was her,” another comment read. “She looks so different now.”

CANCER SCARE

Rachael, whose popular Food Network show aired from 2006 until 2023, had a throat cancer scare in 2008.

A representative for Rachael dismissed the reports while confirming she underwent “minor surgery” for a benign cyst on her vocal cord.

At the time, her rep told People, “Rachael is the picture of health.

“It’s a common in-and-out procedure that she will have in early December and it will not adversely affect any of her daytime show or Food Network tapings.

“[Rachael’s] totally fine. It’s just something she needs to take care of. She hasn’t been feeling ill.”

Seven things Tom Brady is banned from doing by NFL after Raiders takeover which makes Fox broadcast job ‘impossible’

TOM Brady finally realized a dream of becoming an NFL owner – but now faces tough restrictions.

The 47-year-old was confirmed as a part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders this week.

Brady is now no longer allowed to play again – once again confirming his retirement[/caption]

He takes a stake in the NFL team after approval from other owners at the league’s fall meeting.

But that ownership now severely limits what Brady is able to do in his Fox broadcast role.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion began his 10-year, $375 million contract with the network this season.

He is part of Fox’s top broadcast team with Kevin Burkhardt and Erin Andrews.

But being a NFL owner means there are some things he can no longer do.

The former quarterback is not allowed to criticize referees or other teams.

He is also banned from other team facilities and cannot watch practice.

Brady is not allowed to gamble and he will have no access to broadcast production meetings.

He is now also subject to the NFL’s anti-tampering policy.

The 47-year-old’s ownership means he is now no longer able to play the game, making any plans of unretirement impossible.

Brady took a five per cent stake having initially shown an interest last spring.

Football has been part of my entire life growing up in the Bay Area and, in so many ways, my football life and journey has come full circle,” Brady said.

“I love the sport, I love my teammates, coaches, and the fans in every organization I’ve been part of.

“Sports bring us together in a way nothing else can.

“I grew up on the field, and it’s a blessing to know I’ll be involved in the greatest league in the world for the rest of my life.”

The Tom Brady domino effect

Tom Brady will take his seat in Fox's top NFL announce team alongside Kevin Burkhardt.

And his arrival at the network has set off a domino effect with every other announcer moving down one spot.

That means Fox’s NFL coverage in 2024 will feature entirely new broadcast pairings.

Greg Olsen, who previously worked alongside Burkhardt, will now be part of the No. 2 announce team with Joe Davis.

The other Fox pairings for 2024 are:

  • Adam Amin-Mark Sanchez
  • Kenny Albert-Jon Vilma
  • Kevin Kugler-Daryl Johnston
  • Chris Myers-Mark Schlereth

Brady revealed on a Fox broadcast that he was considering joining the Chicago Bears in 2020.

He eventually moved to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after his long stint with the New England Patriots.

“[The Bears] was a team, and I’ve never told that story before, they were very stealthy in their recruitment,” Brady said.

“I was seriously considering it, but in the end, it came down to Tampa.

“It was close to my son Jack, I loved [coach] Bruce Arians and the role that he played in offense.

“[It was] ultimately the great players like Mike Evans and Chris Godwin that I’m still out there watching today.”

Anyone with new Jay Slater info MUST tell all, ex-murder squad cop says after teen’s mum slams silent TV investigator

ANYONE who has any new information on Jay Slater’s death must reveal everything they know right away, says ex-murder squad cop.

Peter Bleksley told The Sun that any details around Jay’s disappearance could be vital for cops amid frustration from the teen’s mum over a lack of clarity from investigators.

Mark Williams-Thomas has been slammed by Debbie this week for not being open with the family or cops around Jay’s death[/caption]

Debbie Duncan, 55, has slammed Mark Williams-Thomas who was one of the main detectives helping to look for Jay out in Tenerife.

Williams-Thomas claims he knows the real reason the teen left the Airbnb in Spain before embarking on a doomed last journey in June.

But the former cop is yet to provide any evidence or explanation behind his theories.

Heartbroken Debbie says the lack of solid proof from the Williams-Thomas has reignited “the trolls” online that are still attacking her and Jay.

Debbie begged the ex-Madeline McCann cop to either reveal everything he knows or “just stay out of it” for good to stop the vile abuse.

Ex-Scotland Yard detective Peter Bleksley says Debbie’s anger is completely justified.

He told The Sun: “Any person who has information that is relevant around Jay Slater‘s disappearance must do the right thing.

“That means one of two things – number one to impart that information to the authorities and the police in Tenerife.

“And number two to keep Jay’s family aware of what they know and tell them all of that in full.”

Peter also spoke on Debbie’s recent claims about Williams-Thomas withholding information.

Debbie told MailOnline Williams-Thomas’ latest move felt like a “PR stunt”.

The grief-stricken mum says old wounds have only been opened up through the TV sleuths recent comments inciting hateful trolls.

Debbie has constantly blasted perpetrators for the abuse they have given everyone involved in Jay’s case since he first vanished.

The search for the Lancashire teen was hampered by amateur sleuths and conspiracy theorists who kept on spreading wild claims.

For months they have hounded the Slater family and friends while constantly making up lies about Jay and why he may have gone missing.

It is not for people to sit on information, to tease, that they have information and not give it all clearly and precisely to the family

Peter Bleksleyformer Scotland Yard detective

Peter feels that anyone who isn’t being open and honest with any details they may have is only causing the abuse to worsen.

He says that withholding crucial facts is reckless and reprehensible.

The retired undercover fugitive hunter added: “It is not for people to sit on information, to tease, that they have information and not give it all clearly and precisely to the family.”

“In my opinion, that could merely extend the torture, the pain, and the hurt that they are obviously still going through.”

Debbie has already spoken on the mental pain the trolls have caused her this week.

She said: “Losing Jay was hard enough but then having to read what some people are writing is torture.

“I’m not good really and I would be lying if I said I was alright, the last few hours have just been awful.”

A post-mortem conducted in the UK confirmed Jay died because of traumatic head injuries, consistent with a “fall from height”.

But many questions still remain unanswered for his family.

There has been no explanation about why he left the Airbnb so suddenly on June 17 or why he thought he could make the journey back to his apartment on foot rather than by bus.

The search after Jay was reported missing by best pal Lucy Law made headlines worldwide with sleuths trying to piece the teen’s last moments.

Police spent almost two weeks combing the vast area he may have walked through with drones, helicopters and sniffer dogs before turning to a private search.

Jay’s desperate dad Warren, 58, and brother Zak, 24, also kept up the hunt – retracing Jay’s steps almost every day in the blistering heat.

His body was found 29 days later after he tragically fell to his death sometime after leaving the Airbnb.

Dramatic images showed the moment a helicopter crewman was winched into the chasm with his arms aloft in the delicate recovery operation.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Debbie said: “Jay was just a lovely boy with a massive personality.

“Everybody just loved Jay being in his company – family, friends and work.

“He was loving and popular, always full of fun and smiling – and the main guy in the group.”

Timeline of the tragic case

JAY'S body was finally found after weeks of agony for the teen's friends and family with many questions still left unanswered - here is how the events unfolded...
