Tim Walz staggered by cool JD Vance, admits
‘I’m a knucklehead’ during genial
VP debate
Posted By: Imright, 10/2/2024 6:25:34 AM
Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz stunned watchers of Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate as he nervously fidgeted, frowned and even called himself a “knucklehead” — while his Republican counterpart, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, gave a steady and lawyerly presentation and was widely seen as the victor. The largely good-natured forum, hosted by CBS News, featured the two candidates agreeing with each other repeatedly and expressing warm personal sentiments — avoiding the blistering personal attacks that were part of both presidential debates earlier this year. Walz, 60, who has honed a folksy demeanor on the campaign trail, was noticeably nervous and misspoke repeatedly as he wrung his hands, took frantic notes,

Twin babies who died alongside their mother have been named as Hurricane Helene's youngest victims as questions are raised over unheeded warnings.
The death toll from the hurricane has now surpassed 200 as rescuers continue to search for survivors from the storm - the deadliest since Katrina in 2005 which killed more than 1,800 people - that has battered the southeast.
But in a devastating update, two newborn boys and their mother were found crushed to death after a large tree crashed through their Georgia home roof.
Outside of the White House tonight, Joe Biden was asked what he thinks is needed by the states in the storm zone of Helene. His response was jaw dropping.
After a pause, Biden said “Oh, storm zone? I didn’t know which storm you’re talking about…” He then claimed that they’re getting everything they need and that they’re very happy.
That must be news to the millions of Americans who are still waiting for a government response as they’re still digging out of the rubble

Hurricane Helene 3 replies
We’re back to playing our favorite game: do we even have a president? Who’s in charge? Because Joe Biden delivered a doozy of an answer that makes one wonder if he even knows that communities in the south are reeling from the second deadliest hurricane ever to hit the United States. The death toll soared past 200 today, with hundreds still missing. After surveying the damage, Biden said those in the storm zone, a phrase that bewildered him for a second, are “very happy” and are getting everything they need.
Democrats and the Kamala Harris campaign have been quick to brag about the endorsements she has received from people like Liz and Dick Cheney, as well as former members of the Bush administration.
Trump has gotten a much more important endorsement this week.
Hundreds of national security experts, foreign policy specialists, former military members and Gold Star families have just endorsed Trump and it’s easy to see why.

A day after a previous judge's block of President Joe Biden's student loan forgiveness program expired, a federal judge in Missouri has blocked it again.
U.S. District Judge Matthew Schelp, who was appointed by then-President Donald Trump, issued the latest preliminary injunction against Biden’s relief plan, once again blocking the U.S. Department of Education from forgiving student loan debt at the expense of U.S. taxpayers.The latest order capped 24 hours during which federal student loan holders were subjected to judicial whiplash, as a lawsuit challenging Biden’s aid package,
Elon Musk is planning to attend ex-President Donald Trump’s Butler, Pa. rally over the weekend, the billionaire Tesla CEO announced late Thursday.
“I will be there to support!” Musk wrote in a retweet of Trump’s promotion for the rally on Saturday.
The Republican presidential nominee shared the infamous photo of himself raising a first in the air with blood smeared across his face immediately following an assassination attempt at his first rally in Butler on July 13.
Donald Trump told CEO and finance guru Dave Ramsey how he plans to fix the economy if elected during a wide-ranging interview.
Ramsey, a bestselling author, radio host and economic consultant whose net worth is believed to be between $150M-$200M, spoke to the former president and Republican nominee on The Dave Ramsey Show for a 25-minute chat.
He told Ramsay that inflation is 'more important than the economy' and he plans to have prices down by 50% in his first year in office and

The International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) has snubbed the Harris-Walz ticket with a non-endorsement — news which comes after Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) spoke at their event in August.
IAFF President Edward Kelly made the announcement on Thursday following an executive board meeting, where the determination was made.“Today, the IAFF Executive Board, by a margin of 1.2 percent, voted to not endorse a candidate in the 2024 presidential election,” he announced, noting that IAFF took “unprecedented steps to hear out members’ views on the candidates and the policy issues that matter most to them” over the last year.
For all the differences between the presidential and vice presidential debates, there was one glaring similarity: the moderators weren’t able to keep their mouths shut. In the first debate, the rules allowed the moderators to “fact-check,” whatever that means exactly. In the second debate, the rules didn’t allow “fact-checking.” But in both cases, the moderators couldn’t help themselves. They weighed in, over and over again. And every single time, they interjected to help whatever Democrat was standing at the podium. And the format of these “fact-checks” was always the same, too. The moderators would wait for Donald Trump or JD Vance to stop speaking. Then they’d hastily recite a rehearsed,
Desperate residents of Hurricane Helene-ravaged Western North Carolina are relying on home-grown rescue efforts instead of waiting for the Biden-Harris administration’s financially depleted FEMA to get its act together.
Not content to hold out hope for help some fear might not arrive in time, a handful of grassroots rescue operations have sprung up to render assistance by air, land and even on four legs. (Photo) With hundreds more missing in the remote, unforgiving terrain and communication services damaged or nonexistent, the search for survivors grows more dire with each passing hour.

Music legend Bruce Springsteen officially endorsed Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris Thursday and launched an extraordinary attack on former President Donald Trump.
The 75-year-old rocker made his presidential election preference known by posting a video to Instagram, which he appeared to have filmed from a diner.

Former congresswoman Liz Cheney, one of Donald Trump’s fiercest Republican antagonists, will join Democrat Kamala Harris at a campaign event in Wisconsin on Thursday aimed at reaching out to moderate voters and rattling the GOP nominee.
Cheney was the top Republican on the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection, earning Trump’s disdain and effectively exiling herself from her own party.
Cheney lost her House seat to a Trump-endorsed candidate two years ago and she endorsed Harris, the Democratic nominee, last month. The two women will appear together in a historic white schoolhouse in Ripon,

The federal government's disaster response agency doesn't have enough money to help Americans left in distress by Hurricane Helene after blowing billions on illegal migrants.
Over the last two years, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has handed out more than $1 billion taxpayer dollars to specifically support illegal migrants with housing.
But now there's no money to help out the 150,000 American citizens who have reached out for federal assistance after their homes were damaged by Hurricane Helene.
'FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season,' Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas admitted on Wednesday.

WASHINGTON — Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas set off outrage Wednesday when he told reporters that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) “does not have the funds” to see Americans through the rest of this Atlantic hurricane season — after draining his department’s emergency kitty this year to address the migrant crisis.
“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have,” Mayorkas said during a press gaggle on Air Force One en route to tour damage from Hurricane Helene in South and North Carolina.
“We are expecting another hurricane hitting,” he added. “We do not have the funds. FEMA does not have the funds to make it through
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas warned Wednesday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which has spent more than one billion dollars on services for illegal immigrants over the past year, now has insufficient funds to last through the hurricane season.
“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting,” Mayorkas told reporters. “FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.”
Hurricane Helene has ravaged the west coast of Florida and several states in the Southeast, flooding towns, destroying properties, and killing over 160 people.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz did not have a good night against Sen. JD Vance (R-OH). The vice presidential debate on CBS News wasn’t a disqualifying performance by Walz, but Democrats cannot be happy. It started rough, and it was like that for the Minnesota liberal for most of the night. He was able to find his footing, though toward the debate’s end, where he made a rash of odd remarks, like being a school shooter’s best friend, the female gender being a preexisting condition, and a baffling and shambolic response

Hassan Nasrallah's son-in-law, Hassan Jafar Qassir, may have been killed in airstrikes in the Mezzeh neighborhood in Damascus on Wednesday, according to early reports published by Sky News Arabic. Hassan is the brother of Muhammad Jafar Qassir, who was killed in a strike in Beirut on Wednesday during the Iranian attack on Israel. Hassan's assassination is another severe blow to Hezbollah as its leadership has been slowly picked off in Israeli operations. Muhammed became a leading figure in the deliveries of Iranian weapons from Syria, and Hassan married Hassan Nasrallah's daughter, cementing their connection to Hezbollah and Iran.
Governor Ron DeSantis (R., Fla.) is making sure the disruptive east coast dockworker strike does not get in the way of his state’s ongoing hurricane recovery efforts.
DeSantis announced Thursday an executive order sending Florida’s National Guard to ports affected by the dockworker strike and directing Florida’s department of transportation to waive select tolls and weight regulations for trucks. He is also instructing the Florida highway patrol to oversee the flow of traffic from ports into the state.
“At my direction, the Florida national guard and Florida state guard will be deployed to critical ports affected to maintain order and if possible resume operations
A South Carolina volunteer firefighter was threatened with arrest after he used his own helicopter to assist with rescue efforts in western North Carolina following Hurricane Helene’s devastating impact on the area. This comes as the Biden-Harris administration's Department of Transportation has set up a no-fly zone for drones in the area, and issued a temporary no-fly zone for private flights.

A judge has thrown out charges of attempted murder against the Arizona college student who nearly killed a classmate in an unprovoked knife attack in front of horrified students.
Kaci Sloan was facing multiple charges after launching herself at Mara Daffron, 19, as the pair arrived for class at ASU’s West Valley campus on September 19.
The 'bubbly’ student needed emergency surgery for a ruptured spleen and injuries to her chest and arm after Sloan stabbed her twice in a premeditated attack before being hauled off her target by fellow students.
Kamala Harris’s husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, denied allegations on Thursday that he “forcefully slapped” his then-girlfriend “for flirting with another man” in 2012.
The denial comes as Harris seeks the presidency in a tight race and is performing poorly among men, who appear to view her as an opponent of masculinity.
“This report is untrue,” and “any suggestion that he would or has ever hit a woman is false,” Emhoff’s spokesperson told Semafor’s Max Tani.
Breitbart News’s John Nolte outlined the original allegations first reported by the Daily Mail:
Three friends of the alleged victim, whom the Daily Mail only identifies with the pseudonym “Jane,” have come forward
The Biden-Harris administration took more than a billion tax dollars that had been allocated to the agency responsible for American disaster relief and used it to offer services for illegal immigrants.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) allocated nearly $364 million in the fiscal year 2023 and $650 million for the 2024 fiscal year to the “Shelter and Services Program” “to provide humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants following their release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS),” according to the government’s website.
