Users on social media took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris after the Democratic nominee took to X to pledge millions of dollars in aid for Lebanon at the same time residents of North Carolina struggle to recover from Hurricane Helene.

"This has to be fake. Even Kamala Harris, the gold standard of stupid, isn’t stupid enough to post this," actor James Woods said on X Saturday. "Certainly not while North Carolinians are pulling the bodies of their neighbors from the wreckage. It’s simply inconceivable."

"I am concerned about the security and well-being of civilians suffering in Lebanon and will continue working to help meet the needs of all civilians there," the vice president said, adding that the money would go to "essential needs," including "food, shelter, water, protection, and sanitation to help those who have been displaced by the recent conflict."

Users on social media were quick to slam Harris for the post, arguing that many North Carolina residents are struggling to recover from Hurricane Helene and that the money would be better spent on those relief efforts.

"Could this be any more tone deaf? We have Americans suffering and in danger right now after the hurricane and this is what Kamala has to announce. America First!" Rep. Nick Langworthy, R-N.Y., said on X.

"To be clear – Kamala Harris' campaign-suicidal post this evening focusing on LEBANON while major disaster rescues and recovery are underway is an admission she is losing Michigan right now.," journalist Eric Daugherty said in a post.

"Kamala is touting giving money to the people of Lebanon-while stiff-arming the humanitarian crisis in North Carolina," Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said on X. "This is Kamala’s Katrina."

The controversial tweet comes as the Biden administration has continued to face backlash for its handling of Helene, with former President Trump calling the federal response to the disaster the "most incompetently managed ‘storm,’ at the federal level, ever seen before."

"Kamala and Sleepy Joe are universally being given POOR GRADES for the way that they are handling the Hurricane, especially in North Carolina," Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

The White House and Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.

Tonight is Carol Burnett’s 90th Birthday and it is rightly) being celebrated with a TV program…. But the program is televised on NBC. Now Carol earned her bones….and her $$ on CBS.
Why isn’t this program being televised by CBS? Seems strange to me.

The day is finally here. The appeals have run out. Trump officially becomes the first former president to face criminal trial. Let the dumpster fire commence good people of HORT.

One of the announcers before the game stated that Ohio State spent $20 million dollars buying talent in the off season. Congratulations Buckeye fans. You must be very proud.

LINCOLN — Among the sea of red in Memorial Stadium this fall, some Husker fans in the student section have garnered attention for their red-and-white overalls topped with Runza gear.
Around 30 guys get together each home game to cover themselves in red paint and overalls and top it off with ball caps from their sponsor, Runza. The most notable gear among the group are rare foam Runza sandwich hats — only four were ever created.
It all began in 2021 when Broc Homeyer and a handful of other guys bought their first pairs of red-and-white-striped overalls. Growing up in Lincoln, Homeyer, a senior at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, was familiar with older men pulling out the striped outfits each game day and knew that someday, he wanted to have his own Husker jumpsuit.


The crew arrives early each game day to claim their spots in the front of Section 11, the designated Nebraska student zone.

​

“I’m pretty tired by the end of the day, but it’s so much fun and we have nothing else going on on a Saturday, so might as well just be outside and get ready for the game,” Homeyer said.

As a resident adviser at UNL, Homeyer is sharing that Husker fan spirit with the incoming freshmen.
“The guys really latch on to doing it,” Homeyer said.
Out of the nearly three dozen overall guys sharing their love for the Huskers, 20 of them reside on the same floor of UNL's Smith Hall. The idea was presented to the group to purchase the same overalls to cheer on the scarlet and cream.

On game days, the group wakes up early to paint themselves in Husker red, listen to music and kick off the gameday hype. They arrive nearly four hours before kickoff to secure prime seats in the student section.

“Depending on the game, you get there earlier,” Homeyer said. “The Colorado game, we got there eight hours early. We stand in line and bring a football and people take pictures. It’s just a fun time.”
What they didn’t expect was to get sponsored by a Nebraska favorite fast-food chain. In the years prior, Homeyer had reached out to various companies for support, but no one jumped on board. This year, he decided to take a chance and emailed Runza.


“I knew their marketing team was really good because they’re all over Twitter,” Homeyer said. “They're just very good about local Nebraska.”
Runza responded with open arms and quickly embraced the Husker fans.
“We always feel honored when people think of us and actually take the time to reach out,” said Becky Perrett, Runza's director of marketing.


While Perrett said the company can't say yes to every sponsorship pitch, it was eager to work with the overall guys.
“These guys have been wonderful to work with,” Perrett said. “It’s really about them and the dedication behind it and their inspiration to reach out, and we just are having fun tagging along with them and supporting them.”

The partnership began with custom “Craving Runza” caps and expanded to the foam Runza sandwich hats. Three were given to Homeyer to take care of and the fourth resides at the Bob Devaney Sports Center for Nebraska volleyball games.

“We have a very limited supply, and the company we got them from is out of business, so there’s no reorder,” Perrett said.
The students also receive monetary compensation, but Runza declined to disclose the amount.

Runza has deep roots in Nebraska, having been founded in Lincoln in 1949. By the early 1980s, Runzas were being sold outside Memorial Stadium, and a formal partnership with Nebraska athletics began in 2000, ensuring that thousands of sandwiches are served at home games.

“We just love the fact that not only has this season been great for the team, it’s been great for the fans,” Perrett said. “You can tell everybody is having so much fun enjoying Memorial Stadium and all the excitement and whatnot. And we love to see these guys on TV. We’re their number one fans, that’s for sure.”
Freshman Toby Ekdale, 18, already had football season tickets and decided he might as well join in on the fun when Homeyer presented the idea. He was one of the first to wear a foam hat despite not being from Nebraska.

The Illinois native got to try his first Runza sandwich this year, and two games into the year, Ekdale was in Memorial Stadium with the Runza logo painted on his chest.


“Despite being an out-of-state student, he understands us very, very well,” Perrett said.

Beyond the games, the camaraderie extends to shared meals and regular check-ins throughout the week, as the guys have become close friends.
As Homeyer approaches his graduation in May, he said it’s been fun to see the guys become fire starters of this tradition.
“We have a rowdy group. Although I lose a little bit of sleep, it’s so worth it to see them have fun,” Homeyer said. “There’s guys that didn’t even know what Nebraska football was before they came here, and now they’re just like, ‘I’m in love.’”
Looking ahead, while Homeyer knows it’ll be hard to leave this part of his life behind, he’s looking forward to seeing the guys during future games.


“I’ve been so lucky just to have these guys, so I’m super happy to leave it like this,” he said. “We have a good brotherhood, which is really fun to be part of and lead.”

OSU paid 600k to Akron to blast them, I am sure we got more then that to let them embarrass us. With the NIL and the way it is now, why do you think the SEC and B10 are talking about having preseason games? I mean what draws more eyes, Georgia kicking the snot out of Iowa, Minnesota or Northwestern or Georgia kicking the snot out of Locust Grove Institute? Does OSU kicking the snot out of Auburn draw more eyes or OSU playing Akron??

The National Republican Senatorial Committee canceled its cable television spots for the fall in Ohio, where Cleveland businessman Bernie Moreno (R) is looking to unseat the incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown (D) in November.


In a post on X on Monday, the NRSC said that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris had a “historical unpopularity” in the now solidly red Ohio, adding that “advertising dollars can be spent more efficiently as hybrid ads” and that the state “remains a top pickup opportunity.” The group had planned to spend about $700,000 between Aug. 31 and Nov. 5, according to the tracking firm AdImpact.

Any reccomendations, on the island, to stop and see or places to eat? Staying at a B&B for a night so gonna be there for a couple days this week. Planning on renting bikes and exploring.

Predictable. Can we please finally move on to the next era?

It is what it is, time to move on. We all knew that it was going to take time to turn this offense around. We all knew that a bunch of players were not even available to practice this summer. We all knew for this team to do much this year they were going to need to get better each week. So what do we know? We know we were not good enough to compete with a contender in week 6 and that's all we really know.

A pro-Palestine protester set himself on fire outside the White House after he vowed to give his “left arm” to children in Gaza who had lost limbs during the Israel-Hamas war.

Pictures show police officers and bystanders rushing to help the man, who was identified as photojournalist Samuel Mena Jr., as his left arm became engulfed by flames.

Mr. Mena was taken to a hospital for treatment for his injuries, which were not life-threatening, according to DC Police Chief Pamela Smith.

Footage from the scene shows Mr. Mena screaming in pain as he holds his burning arm in the air while officers try to put out the fire with bottles of water.

Is it... 1) Perpetrating The Big Lie, 2) screwing porno prostitutes then having to pay them off, 3) attempts to subvert democracy on Jan 6, 4) being a dozens of times convicted felon, 5) his chaos ridden administration, 6) just being generally known as a rampant liar. Or... do you have something else?

i don't know? pretty good.

Sen. Mark Kelly, who sits on the US Senate intelligence committee, said on CBS this morning there is a “significant” and “huge amount of misinformation” coming from the Russian, Chinese, and the Iranians.

DeSantis Threatens To Prosecute Television Stations That Run Ad In Support Of Abortion Ballot Measure​

October 6, 2024

The Meidas Touch reports:

Since the abortion ballot initiative was first announced (Amendment 4), Ron DeSantis has been on a crusade to put the thumb on the scale to defeat it. The problem is that he continues to use the power of the state to do it.
Now, DeSantis has taking his fascistic leanings to the next level. The Florida Department of Health has issued a letter threatening to criminally prosecute TV stations and other media that are airing an ad promoting the Amendment.
The ad features a woman named “Caroline” who had a brain tumor and was forced to have an abortion otherwise both she and her baby would have died. The Director of the Department of Health claims that the ad is misleading and is threatening any media company who continues to run the ad with criminal prosecution.

Read the full article. DeSantis is also using state funds to run ads against the measure, which experts say violate the law. Last month, his goon squad raided the homes of volunteers who organized the petition gathering process.

Ohio State hasn’t lost to a big ten team not named Michigan since Purdue 2018. Could’ve been a better loss I guess.

I provide the channel of “Epic History”.

A lot of videos dealing with different battles throughout history with maps and details of troop placements. Just got done watching a video on Napoleon’s first command at 26 years old, in 1796, in Italy against the Piedmonts and Austrians.

Several SEC teams are over ranked each season, then when a mediocre SEC team beats an over ranked team, they jump in the rankings too. Plus, with one less conference game, they each can pad their win column against Akron or Buffalo. If they played 9 conf games, half of the SEC teams would end the season with another loss. Big Ten had their head up the ass going with 9 conf games.

You can check out post-game video from Kirk Ferentz, Cade McNamara, and Jay Higgins:

They got no chance without the CHEAT2.
