Georgia woman celebrates 112th birthday, reveals her secret to a long life

A Georgia woman who just celebrated her 112th birthday credits her longevity to staying close to her family and embracing her strong religious faith.

Mabel Dunbar, of Fayetteville, Georgia, was born in Jamaica in 1914. She is the mother of one, grandmother of four and a great-grandmother, and was honored by loved ones on her birthday Sept. 5 with a custom berry cake, flowers and a crown, FOX 5 Atlanta reported.

"God is love and I love my families," Dunbar said at her party. "I love all my families and strangers."

Those who know her describe Dunbar as "deeply religious, pleasant and talkative," according to FOX 5.

She spent her life serving others and remaining active, the station reported. Until recently, Dunbar still enjoyed cooking and made breakfast for herself every morning. She also enjoyed sharing stories with visitors.

After moving to Florida to live with her daughter in 1994, Dunbar relocated to Fayetteville in August 2025 to live with her granddaughter and grandson-in-law.

Family remains an important part of Dunbar’s daily life, according to FOX 5.

"Treat them the best you can, because they are important," Dunbar said of younger generations, specifically her grandchildren. "You need them when you can't help yourself like me. These good people are on me all the time, and I'm happy to see them when they come."

Leading oncologist and University of Pennsylvania bioethicist Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel has identified several principles for living longer and reducing disease risk.

They include prioritizing an active social life, staying mentally active with new hobbies and opportunities to learn, limiting processed and sugary foods and drinks without being overly restrictive, engaging in moderate exercise and getting proper sleep, Fox News Digital previously reported.

Emanuel also recommends avoiding obviously dangerous activities and behaviors.

Religious involvement has also been associated with greater longevity, research has suggested.

In a 2016 study published in JAMA Internal Medicine, researchers at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health examined religious service attendance and health outcomes among 74,534 women over 16 years.

They found that women who attended religious services more than once a week had a 33% lower risk of dying during the follow-up period compared with women who never attended religious services.

Weekly attendance was associated with a 26% lower risk, while attendance less than once a week was associated with a 13% lower risk. Regular attendees also tended to smoke less, experience fewer depressive symptoms and have stronger social support, the researchers reported in 2016.

The world’s oldest documented living person is Ethel Caterham, of England, who turned 117 in August.

Caterham previously told The Associated Press that she credited her long life to "never arguing with anyone," adding, "I listen, and I do what I like."

Virginia mom placed on child abuse registry for 7 years after letting 5-year-old walk alone

A Virginia mom is appealing a criminal charge and her placement on the state’s child abuse and neglect registry after her 5-year-old son was stopped by security while walking alone through their gated community.

Karyann Parkinson said her son, Sam, had been walking along a familiar neighborhood path past a pond to collect goose feathers when a security guard encountered him and brought him home.

Police and Child Protective Services became involved, and Parkinson, who was eight months pregnant at the time, had her six-month jail sentence suspended, but the charge remains.

She was convicted of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a first-degree misdemeanor, and was also placed on Virginia's Child Abuse and Neglect Central Registry for seven years.

PARENTS SPEAK OUT AFTER SON WITH AUTISM, 6, WAS SUSPENDED FOR BITING SANDWICH INTO SHAPE OF GUN

Parkinson said she understands the shock people feel hearing about a child alone near a body of water, but sought to clarify what happened that day.

"I didn't send him to play at the pond," she told "Fox & Friends Weekend." "I sent him down the path that happens to go past the pond to collect goose feathers... I know that a lot of people have seen the headlines and seen '5-year-old alone at a pond.' And I think if I saw that in isolation, I'd probably be alarmed, too."

SAN FRANCISCO DAD QUESTIONED BY PARK RANGERS FOR TEACHING HIS OWN KIDS TENNIS AT PUBLIC COURT

"But what this was, was a 5-year-old on a pathway that he's very familiar with in his neighborhood that he loves, the only place that he can remember ever living. And it just got turned into this whole situation where a lot of people were suddenly intervening and feeling like this was a really drastic parenting choice," she said.

The most difficult part for Parkinson is being on the Child Protective Services registry for so long, she told Fox News. That means she won't be able to volunteer in Sam's classroom until he enters sixth grade.

FAMILY STOPPED ALLEGED CHILD KIDNAPPER AS POLICE SAY STAFFING SHORTAGE DELAYED RESPONSE UP TO 40 MINUTES

"We need to stop parenting from a place of fear and a place, you know, of obsessing over the unknown or some boogeyman who's going to jump out from behind a bush," Parkinson said.

She said her son was "pretty shaken up" after the incident but has since recovered.

"We had to do a lot of reassuring him and telling him, 'You didn't do anything wrong,'" Parkinson said. "He would ask me, 'Mom, am I allowed to ride my bike to swim practice? Am I allowed to ride my back to the tennis courts?'"

"Now it's just a blip on his radar. It's not really a part of his life anymore," she added.

Democrat challenging Mike Lawler won't commit on campaigning with AOC, Mamdani or rejecting DSA

Democratic U.S. congressional candidate Cait Conley told CNN's "State of the Union" that she would not campaign alongside New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani or Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., but did not directly answer whether Democrats should reject the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

The group's influence in New York has become an issue in her bid to unseat Republican Rep. Mike Lawler. Anchor Dana Bash asked Conley whether she would campaign alongside Mamdani or Ocasio-Cortez after noting Lawler has sought to link his opponent to the Democratic Party's socialist wing.

"No, Dana, I‘m good up here making the case to the voters in the New York 17th Congressional District," Conley said.

'DAMNING SILENCE': SWING-SEAT DEMOCRAT STAYS QUIET AFTER AOC VOICES SUPPORT

Lawler's campaign manager, Ciro Riccardi, told Fox News Digital on Sunday that Conley's appearance demonstrated why the campaign has criticized her over debates and accused her of failing to distance herself from the DSA.

"Now everyone is seeing why Cait Conley has ducked and dodged debate challenges with Congressman Lawler. She’s incapable of answering direct questions without showing her true colors," he said. "Cait Conley’s refusal to disavow Zohran Mamdani and the DSA is disqualifying. She is just as extreme as the rest and that was exposed today for all to see, including embracing impeachment."

Lawler previously told Fox News Digital that he challenged Conley to six debates after her Democratic primary victory, while Conley's campaign said she agreed to two debates hosted by local networks.

Bash separately pointed to Rep. Tom Suozzi’s, D-N.Y., calls for his party to confront the DSA and asked Conley whether she agreed. Conley did not directly state whether she believed Democrats should reject the organization, instead discussing political division within both parties.

DEMOCRATIC INFIGHTING GROWS AS CONGRESSWOMAN EXPOSES ‘DISRESPECTFUL’ WELCOME OF SOCIALISTS INTO ‘BIG TENT’

"I look at what we’re trying to do, which is unite this country where we have seen partisanship to include partisanship within our own party — absolutely divide people to render government dysfunctional," Conley said. "What we have to focus on is how do we bring people together, and right now, what I see coming out of Washington is corruption on both sides, extremism on both sides that is fueling hate, fueling dysfunction."

Suozzi has taken a more explicit position toward the socialist organization, telling Fox News Digital in August that Democrats would have to address the DSA's influence and reject its policy positions.

"I don't ascribe to any of those ideas at all, and I think that there's very little support for those ideas," Suozzi said.

SOCIALISM VS CAPITALISM: HOUSE DEMS CLASH OVER WHAT NY ELECTION RESULTS MEAN FOR PARTY

The DSA's national program calls for abolishing ICE and ending detention and deportations. It also advocates redirecting police funding as steps toward "fully abolishing the police and prison system," universal rent control, publicly owned social housing and universal government-funded healthcare.

Lawler’s campaign has previously pressed Conley over her relationship with the Democratic Party’s progressive wing after Ocasio-Cortez congratulated Conley on winning the Democratic primary in June. Riccardi at the time challenged Conley to state whether she rejected Ocasio-Cortez and other candidates associated with the party’s left flank.

"Which is it, Cait: do you reject AOC and the candidates who want to abolish ICE, defund the police, and tear down our borders, or do you embrace them?" Riccardi said.

Conley, a 16-year Army veteran who served on former President Joe Biden's National Security Council, won a crowded Democratic primary in June and is challenging two-term incumbent Lawler in a closely watched Hudson Valley contest that could determine control of the House.

Fox News Digital reached out to Conley for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.

Spencer Pratt rips George Clooney's 'woke scold lecture' after Amal's lavish Venice look

Spencer Pratt is taking aim at George Clooney.

The former reality star, who delved into politics this year with a run for mayor of Los Angeles, pulled no punches when he took to social media Friday to criticize Clooney and his wife, Amal.

"$500M net worth George Clooney could’ve permanently housed 8 homeless people for the rest of their lives with the money he spent on a single-use dress for his wife at a 4 hour event," Pratt claimed on X.

SPENCER PRATT'S UNEXPECTED POLITICAL RISE FROM MTV VILLAIN TO KAREN BASS' CHALLENGER

He added, "I will never tolerate a woke scold lecture from these people. Just be an ostentatious celebrity and own it."

Along with his post, he shared a Page Six article detailing a look Amal wore to the Venice Film Festival, where the Clooneys have been spotted several times this week. According to the outlet, she wore a custom look by Haider Ackermann for Tom Ford, as well as a pair of earrings from Cartier that cost $149,000 and a Cartier diamond bracelet that runs for $225,000.

In addition to walking red carpets in Venice, Clooney has spoken publicly multiple times at the festival, including at the opening night ceremony, when he accepted the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement award.

During his speech, he said in part, per People, "We’re living through a moment in time where people in charge, the people with the most money, are telling us to fear one another. But we know better than that, don’t we? Because history does teach us a lesson. It teaches us something. The first people that authoritarians tried to shut down are not politicians. They’re journalists who ask questions. They’re the artists who refuse simple answers; the filmmakers, writers, actors, and musicians who insist that someone you never met is deserving of your empathy."

He added, "Stories are always dangerous to people who peddle in fear, the people who are afraid of books and music and stories are never the heroes in history. So, yes, movies don’t stop wars, they don’t lower inflation, they don’t fix elections, but they do something remarkable. They remind us that a stranger is never a stranger, and that he might just be the hero in somebody else’s story."

Ahead of the ceremony, the actor spoke during a press conference, where he touched on the state of politics in the U.S.

"I’m always very optimistic about things," he said, per Deadline. "We’re at a moment in time that’s unfortunate… that’s an understatement. I do believe that we’re going to get through all of this. I’m old enough to have been through 1968 in the States when every city in the United States was set on fire, and we lost Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy in the same year. There was tons of violence. The capital was surrounded with tanks. We’ve had some other difficult times, but this is one of them."

PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE

Going on about the topic, Clooney said, "There’s a great word, kakistocracy, which is a country run by the least qualified people. I think maybe we have a kakistocracy right now, but we’ll get through it, and we will have an election in November that should be a check and balance, and then in 2028, with any luck, we’ll have some restoration into some normalcy."

Fox News Digital has reached out to Clooney for comment on Pratt's criticism.

When reached for comment on Clooney's take on the current administration, a White House spokesperson responded, "Nobody cares."

A list of the best College Gameday signs at LSU during show's 500th episode

One of the best Saturday morning traditions during college football season is not only watching ESPN's best program on the network, College Gameday, but seeing the hilarious, savage, and unique signs fans put together each week. For the historic 500th episode of Gameday at LSU, Tigers fans did not hold back. They poked fun at former QB and Heisman winner Jayden Daniels, the legal battle of allowing NFL players to come back to play for LSU, mascots caught some shade, and more.

Here are some of the best from this morning's program:

Clemson Head Coach Dabo Sweeney was on the receiving end of some savage signs, including a brutal declaration by an LSU fan as it pertains to the Lindsay Clancy case. I wouldn't take Sweeney as someone to be dressed in pink and joining forces with left-wing feminists outside the courthouse, but this shows that almost nothing is off limits during Gameday.

CLEMSON'S DABO SWINNEY THROWS SHADE AT LANE KIFFIN, LSU OVER BRINGING IN NFL PLAYERS: 'IT'S EMBARRASSING'

The worst thing a golfer can be known for is being a constant three-putter on the green. LSU fans just hitting Sweeney where it hurts.

Former LSU transfer, Heisman Trophy winner, and current Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels also caught some friendly fire from LSU fans, including a young fan who poked fun at Daniels and his lawyer, Adam Kenner, sending a cease-and-desist letter to LSU, demanding that the school not assign the number 5 to anyone else.

JAYDEN DANIELS WANTED ‘RESPECT’ FROM LSU. INSTEAD, HE STARTED AN UGLY FIGHT THAT WILL TARNISH HIS REPUTATION

Another Daniels specific sign was caught in 4K omitting the "5" from "Happy 500th Gameday" in honor of the show's historic episode and showing sarcastic respect to Daniels. Well played, young man.

METS BECOME LATEST ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO TROLL JAYDEN DANIELS AMID NO 5 JERSEY FEUD WITH LSU

LSU Head Coach Lane Kiffin is no stranger to controversy. He left Ole Miss in rough fashion and now he's leading the #1-ranked transfer class into more controversy as local courts have opened the door for mutiple NFL players to return to college football. Two of those players were not added to the LSU roster before Saturday's game against Clemson.

JUDGE GRANTS INJUNCTION AGAINST NCAA, SEC, ALLOWING ATHLETES WITH NFL TIES ELIGIBLE TO PLAY FOR LSU, OTHERS

In a similar vain, a fan poked fun at the NCAA's eligibility rules as it pertains to their other sign that unfortunately didn't make the cut.

Last but not least, LSU fans humorously highlighted the ongoing controversy and legal battle about eligibility for NFL players returning to play for LSU.

Personally, this is always a fun "Where's Waldo"-type of entertainment on College Gameday, which I look forward to weekly. As for today's edition, well done, LSU.

Detransitioner takes malpractice fight to appeals court after North Carolina law change

A detransitioner’s malpractice lawsuit against doctors she says counseled her for years to undergo a double mastectomy and begin hormone therapy was initially dismissed as untimely, but a new North Carolina law has allowed her to appeal. The state Court of Appeals will hear arguments on Sept. 29.

Prisha Mosley, now 28, was first prescribed hormones at 17 and underwent a double mastectomy at 18. She later sued the doctors and other medical providers for fraud and malpractice, alleging they misled her about the treatment and its effects.

"I'm a mammal, a human, so I wasn't able to change sex. I didn't need to change sex because that's not possible and nothing was ever wrong with my body. Destroying it with hormones and surgery did not make me happy or well," she told Fox News Digital in an interview.

A trial court in North Carolina initially dismissed Mosley's lawsuit on the basis of the statute of limitations. But, as Mosley explained to Fox News Digital, a law passed in North Carolina in 2025 extended the statute of limitations for medical malpractice lawsuits specifically for people who have undergone gender transitions.

DETRANSITIONER WINS SETTLEMENT AFTER SUING PROVIDERS FOLLOWING GENDER SURGERY

"During the process through which my lawsuit was going through the courts, North Carolina passed HB 808, which was previously HB 805, which is something along the lines of the Protect Children and Women's Act," Mosley explained.

"[The law] extended the statute of limitations for anyone bringing forward a civil case, and even had a line which said that this includes cases that have already been brought forward or even pending in the courts now," she continued.

Legislators in North Carolina passed the bill in 2025, overriding a veto from Democratic Gov. Josh Stein.

INSURANCE COMPANIES PUT ON NOTICE FOR STRANDING TRANS PATIENTS WHO WANT TO REVERSE SURGERIES

FTC ALLEGES INFLUENTIAL TRANSGENDER HEALTH ORGANIZATION MISLED PARENTS ABOUT SAFETY OF YOUTH TREATMENTS

Though the bill was passed in July 2025, a North Carolina trial judge still dismissed Mosley's lawsuit in August 2025, denying her lawyers' motion to reinstate her medical malpractice claims during a special session and granting summary judgment to the plaintiffs.

"Despite this, my claims were dismissed with prejudice, even though they had been previously found to have merit for fraud. The malpractice was still in question due to the statute of limitations, and then after the passage of the law, the entire case was dismissed," Mosley told Fox News Digital.

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION PROBE COULD UPEND WIDELY USED TRANSGENDER YOUTH TREATMENT GUIDELINES

Mosley was initially encouraged by the judge's decision to deny the defendants' motion to dismiss, taking it as a signal her fraud accusations could have merit.

"The judge actually originally found that my case did have merit for fraud, and that was on the basis that I was told that I could actually change sex, which is not possible, and I was not only told that I could change sex, but that I needed to do so in order to survive and that doing so would ensure I had a good life. All of these claims are false," she told Fox News Digital.

WOMAN WHO LIVED AS MAN SAYS SHE GRIEVED ‘UNWANTED BODY PARTS’ AFTER TRANSITION

But after her lawsuit's final dismissal in August, her lawyers appealed, leading to the upcoming Sept. 29 appellate court oral arguments.

Mosley is arguing that the doctors who counseled her into the double mastectomy and hormone therapy misled her by telling her she could become a man and go through male puberty, which she says was a lie.

AT 14, I ENDURED ‘GENDER-AFFIRMING CARE.’ I’LL SUFFER WITH THAT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE

"I consented to quote unquote top surgery, and I was under the impression that top surgery was the surgery that turned a female chest into a male chest, and that's simply not what happened to me. In fact, I had complications related to my surgery," she told Fox News Digital.

"Clearly I didn't have a male chest, and the guarantees weren't promised that way. But it's also impossible to induce puberty of the opposite sex because it's impossible to change sex. I wasn't going through male puberty. I was being put through menopause as a teenager, and while inducing all of these medical issues and problems for me, my doctors just covered it up with these fraudulent terms that made it seem like something good and medically sound was happening to me when it was not. Even when I complained about side effects and said that I was suffering from pain and acne and other issues, they told me that this was because of male puberty," she explained.

Mosley said that she realized she had been lied to when, though she was still identifying as a male at the time, her fiancé's young daughter kept referring to her as "mommy."

"Despite the fact that I still had a beard at the time and I was wearing male clothes and all of that, this little girl started calling me mommy, and that's just where everything fell into place for me," she told Fox News Digital.

Mosley said she was encouraged by a recent ruling in New York, where 22-year-old detransitioner, Fox Varians, sued the psychologist and plastic surgeon who counseled her to undergo a gender transition, winning $2 million in a judgment.

Mosley pointed out that no detransitioners suing their medical providers for malpractice have ever lost their cases in trial.

"I think it's clear to people that this type of medicalization is wrong, and it points to the fact, you know, Fox Varian's is the only detransitioner case that's ever made it to court. None of our cases, not mine, not anyone else's, have ever failed in court. We're being stopped by strange policies and statutes of limitations before we ever go before a jury. But the general public knows that what happened to us is wrong and that we deserve justice for what happened to us," she told Fox News Digital.

Fox News Digital contacted Stein's office and legal representatives for each of the defendants listed in Mosley vs. Emerson for further comment.

Rabbinic group accuses Jewish entertainers of 'whitewashing antisemitism' in Mark Ruffalo defense

FIRST ON FOX — A rabbinic group is calling out some Jewish entertainers for "whitewashing antisemitism" by supporting actor Mark Ruffalo after his harsh opposition to the proposed Warner Bros. Discovery-Paramount merger.

More than 170 Jewish entertainers and artists signed a letter Tuesday "proudly" voicing support for Ruffalo after he was accused of antisemitism when criticizing the proposed $111 billion merger.

Coalition for Jewish Values, which represents over 2,500 traditional, Orthodox rabbis in American public policy, said it typically does not respond when a Hollywood figure says something it finds hateful about Jews or Israel. But the group believes Ruffalo’s comments forced a group of Jewish Hollywood figures that have "little knowledge of Jewish history or the nature of antisemitism" to "deny obvious bigotry."

MORE THAN 180 JEWISH ENTERTAINERS RALLY BEHIND ACTOR MARK RUFFALO IN PROTEST LETTER

"Ruffalo did not merely criticize a business deal. In an August 22 Instagram post tying the Paramount-Skydance/Warner Bros. merger to Oracle's work with Israel, Ruffalo claimed that the Ellison family — who are Jewish — were ‘powering some of the most destructive and inhuman forces in the world,’ and framed a corporate transaction as built on ‘genocide’ and ‘apartheid.’ That is not policy criticism, but mischaracterization of civil rights for Jews and Arabs as racism, and the rescue of Jewish hostages as murder," the Coalition for Jewish Values said in a statement.

"Nonetheless, more than 170 Jewish entertainment figures rushed to sign a letter dismissing the antisemitism charge as an ‘outrageous smear campaign.’ To be certain, they are entitled to their ignorant and misguided views," the statement continued. "They are not, however, entitled to be taken seriously when they engage in whitewashing antisemitism, or suggest that those with sufficient discernment to recognize the oldest of anti-Jewish tropes should deny the obvious."

The group said that "America set itself apart from much of the world precisely by declaring hatred of Jews unwelcome, regardless of who dressed it up as righteousness," and feels "Ruffalo would do well to remember that he owes much of his career to the Founding Fathers who made America so hospitable, and the Jews who fled persecution in Europe to build new homes for their children in a friendlier land."

JOHN CUSACK STANDS IN 'SOLIDARITY' WITH MARK RUFFALO AMID PARAMOUNT'S ANTISEMITISM ALLEGATION

"It is some of those children, working in New York in the early 20th century, who created Marvel Comics and invented The Incredible Hulk," the group said.

Rabbi Yaakov Menken, executive vice president of the Coalition for Jewish Values, told Fox News Digital that Ruffalo's remarks were "embarrassing" and that Ruffalo presented a "mythical inversion" of the situation in the Middle East.

Ruffalo was accused of invoking "antisemitic tropes" by Paramount after the Marvel star shared a video from August of Safra Catz, an Oracle executive vice chair and Paramount board member, discussing technology Oracle used to assist Israel after the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack.

He linked Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, the father of Paramount CEO David Ellison, to financing behind the proposed acquisition and suggested the merger would be used to push "oppression."

"These ‘really profoundly scary technologies’ will most likely be merged into one of the largest media conglomerates in the world and one day used on you," Ruffalo said. "Look how she revels in what we now have come to see as a genocide, which was built on an apartheid system of oppression powered by Oracle."

ANTISEMITIC VIOLENCE REACHES DEADLIEST LEVEL SINCE 1994, NEW GLOBAL REPORT FINDS

Among the Jewish artists who signed the letter were Abbi Jacobson, Alex Winter, Gina Gershon, Ilana Glazer, James Schamus, Joel Coen, Larry Charles, Kate Berlant, Naomi Klein, Sarah Sherman, Jane Schoenbrun, Todd Haynes and Tony Kushner, denied Ruffalo‘s comments were antisemitic, arguing that the executives Ruffalo criticized had "themselves have explicitly linked to their support for the ongoing depredations being visited on the people of Palestine and their silencing of critics of those horrors."

The celebrities also argued that a majority of American Jews now believe that Israel committed war crimes against Gaza, with a significant portion believing Israel is guilty of genocide. They called for an end to "spurious charges of antisemitism" against people like Ruffalo.

Ruffalo previously denied pushing antisemitism in a statement to Fox News Digital after Paramount's original condemnation.

"The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest," Ruffalo said. "Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people."

The proposed transaction would place CNN, HBO and Warner Bros. studio assets under the Ellison family’s control. A coalition of 12 state attorneys general sued to block it on antitrust grounds, and the companies agreed not to close until five days after a court ruling on the merits or June 1, 2027, whichever comes first.

Fox News Digital reached out to Ruffalo's representatives for additional comment.
