A New Jersey attorney and former municipal official who made waves during his debate with Sen. Cory Booker , D- N. J., said his unscripted style may be the secret sauce to making history and ending a Republican Senate drought in New Jersey that stretches back more than half a century. Justin Murphy, a Navy veteran and former deputy mayor of Tabernacle in the state’s Pine Barrens, stunned his incumbent Democratic opponent when, in response to a question about Iran War strategy, he bluntly said President Donald Trump should forcefully "finish it." "I don’t have a speechwriter. There’s no teleprompter — I shoot from the hip because I want people to see a very sincere, genuine and authentic Justin Murphy," Murphy told Fox News Digital. BOOKER 'WOWED' BY GOP CHALLENGER'S BLUNT MESSAGE TO TRUMP "This came up. And I had no idea it would become as viral or explode as it has on social media. It's what I felt. I meant what I said.

Firefighters saved a historic New York City church, notable for its appearance in "The Godfather," as a four-alarm fire tore through a nearby vacant warehouse. More than 200 firefighters and EMS personnel rushed to Mount Loretto in Staten Island after the blaze began to spread inside an empty warehouse at around 5:45 p.m. on Saturday, FDNY chief of operations Kevin Woods said at a press conference that evening.

The Green Bay Packers ’ win over the Dallas Cowboys, 23-13, on "Sunday Night Football" maintained a tale of two divisions in the NFC. The NFC North is once again a very strong group to begin the 2026 season, and perhaps for the second straight week, the NFC East will be winless. Last week, the Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles both lost, while the New York Giants and Washington Commanders managed an overtime tie in wacky fashion. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE After the Giants and Eagles lost in the 1 p.m. slate this Sunday, the Cowboys were routed at Lambeau Field by a Packers team that did much of the same against their divisional foe, the Chicago Bears . That leaves the Commanders, sitting at the bottom of the division at 1-3-1, as the only team still able to pick up a victory, though it will be tough on the road against a red-hot San Francisco 49ers squad that remains unbeaten. It’s too early to say this NFC East division has shades of 2020, when Washington wo...

It was a wild Saturday in college football, and if top team after top team taking losses wasn’t crazy enough, another game ended with a one-second clock controversy. BYU pulled off an upset over Notre Dame — but social media seems to think the game may not have actually been over. Thanks to the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs losing at home to Auburn, No. 2 Notre Dame had a chance to take over the top spot with a win. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Unfortunately, they would have to do that on the road against the Big 12's top team, the unbeaten No. 8 BYU Cougars. And, to make matters worse, the Fighting Irish were without one of their best defensive players almost immediately. On BYU's first series, defensive lineman Boubacar Traore was called for targeting on a hit on BYU quarterback Bear Bachmeier. That was a costly penalty for a team that doesn't take a lot of them, and the Cougars made them pay. They marched downfield — even forcing Notre Dame to burn a timeout — ...

Florida State has sputtered this season and Miami has not lost a game. Both trends held true, although barely, as the Hurricanes needed two overtimes to survive another upset bid on a day filled with chaotic finishes and upsets. Miami quarterback Darian Mensah threw for 326 yards and three touchdowns, the last of them a 3-yarder to Malachi Toney in the second overtime, and No. 3 Miami held on to beat archrival FSU 43-35 in a back-and-forth classic. OHIO STATE SNAPS INDIANA'S 22-GAME WINNING STREAK, HANDS REIGNING CHAMPS FIRST LOSS SINCE 2024 IN THRILLER Toney finished the night with 154 receiving yards and threw a 2-point conversion pass to Cooper Barkate.

Duce Robinson had a pair of touchdown catches late, including a 75-yarder that tied the game with less than three minutes left in regulation and a 2...

The Philadelphia 76ers boast a star-studded roster that has been projected to make a run at the NBA title. Jaylen Brown arrived in Philadelphia as the centerpiece of a blockbuster trade, while LeBron James later chose the Sixers after considering several teams in free agency this offseason. Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid have spent their entire NBA careers in Philadelphia. Some have questioned whether the 76ers can keep all of their stars satisfied this season, but Embiid believes the team can succeed without forcing its stars to make major sacrifices or drastically alter their playing styles. "I'm against the concept of sacrificing," Embiid said after Friday's preseason finale. "I think the way I explained it was you do what you do best, and we're going to support you. ... I don't think anybody has to take a back seat." LEBRON JAMES ADMITS HE NEARLY JOINED THE KNICKS BEFORE JALEN BRUNSON WON THE NBA TITLE WITHOUT HIM Four of Philadelphia’s stars too...
