Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris told a group of young football players on Sunday that they can be “undefeated” even if they don’t win every game on their schedule. Harris made the remarks while speaking to players at Aliquippa Junior/Senior High School in Pennsylvania about being a role model. “It’s not easy being a role model. Welcome to the role model club,” she said, noting that the player’s families and communities were watching them to see how they act. “And, by doing that, and all that that requires, which is the hard work, the practice, working as a team, knowing that you will be undefeated even if you don’t win every game, but no circumstance or event or moment will defeat your spirit and your fight, and your preparedness to win and excel, that nothing will dampen your spirit of excellence,” she said. “That’s what I’m counting on from each of you. And, that’s what makes our nation strong.” WATCH: Kamala “Cringe” Harris tells a Pennsylvania football team: “You will be undefeated even if you don’t win every game” pic.twitter.com/tmBlsBW660 — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) August 18, 2024 Senior Trump Campaign official Tim Murtaugh responded to the clip: “Among the first unscripted moments Harris is permitted to have results in her spewing a bunch of nonsense at high school football players who, unlike her, probably know what the word undefeated means.” Attending the event with Harris was her vice presidential running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who used to be a football coach. Jason Miller, a senior adviser to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, responded to the clip: “I wonder what these football players would think about tampons in boys’ bathrooms.” Miller’s comment referenced a bill that was signed into law that forces schools in the state to provide tampons “to all menstruating students,” including transgender students.

Asher was unfortunately diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and he had been in the hospital for 38 days. All he wanted for his birthday were some yard tools so that he could be just like his daddy and work in the yard. The Little Wishes organization surprised him with all the yard tools he wanted. Staff members came in with tools that looked like a mini chainsaw, a weedwhacker, and a lawnmower. Asher was ecstatic as he took the lawnmower and began pushing it around the room. Now, he could look just like his dad as he worked in the yard. However, that wasn’t his biggest birthday surprise. After that incredible gift, Asher got an even better birthday gift. Asher Gets His Biggest Wish Not only did Asher get tools like his dad has, but he also got to use them with him. Asher got to go home on his birthday! After 38 long days, he finally got to go home! Now, he can help his father in the yard like he always dreamed of. We can learn a lot from Asher’s story. First, kindness and love can go a long way, and we should spread them as much as possible. Second, sometimes the best things in life are the simplest. At the end of the day, this little boy’s biggest wish was to go home and spend time with his family.

ALS is a devastating nervous system disease. It affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle control loss. As time progresses, the disease worsens. While this is daunting news for anyone to receive, one grandmother did not let it get her down. Rather than focus on the negatives, she decided to come up with a unique solution. This grandmother with ALS came up with the most innovative way to read to her future grandkids. Innovative Storytelling: Grandmother With ALS Won’t Back Down Della Larsen received the unfortunate diagnosis of ALS in April 2023. One of the symptoms that this disease can cause is speech changes. Della knew that she wanted to read to her future grandchildren, but she was fearful that she would not be able to do so with the progression of her disease. @dellas.als.journe ALS is stealing my ability to be a grandma, but i have an idea to ensure my grandkis “know” me. #als #alsawareness #cureals #end #livingwithals ♬ original sound – Della’s ALS journey Luckily, this future grandmother with ALS had a plan. She pre-recorded videos of herself reading some of her favorite books. She took to Instagram last year to share her project, Grandma’s Bookshelf, in which she recorded herself reading her favorite books. She placed a QR code in each of these books that her grandchildren could scan. Those codes would take them to the pre-recorded video of her reading these stories to them. Grandma Shares Important Message With Future Grandkids Della told Good Morning America, “I want them to know they were loved even before they were born.” Also, she was back on social media this past July, on TikTok. She reshares the same video from last year, addressing how the hardest part of having this disease is that she will be losing her ability to be a grandmother. Lucky for her future grandkids, she did not back down so easily. With her “grandma’s bookshelf” idea, she is ensuring that her grandkids “know” her. She recorded herself reading 30 children’s books that she hopes her future grandkids will enjoy. The source of the featured image can be found here.

Kai Trump is headed to The U

CBS vice presidential debate co-moderator and host of Face the Nation Margaret Brennan offered an unqualified and evidence-free defense of Vice President Kamala Harris- specifically, her widely panned price control proposals, which former President Donald Trump and many others have labeled as “communism”. Watch the open to Face the Nation, as Brennan both asserts that such statements are “false”, “wrong”, and promised to show why such attacks were false: CBS FACE THE NATION 8/18/24 10:30 AM MARGARET BRENNAN: I'm Margaret Brennan in Washington and this week on Face the Nation, Democrats head to their convention in Chicago as inflation cools. And the political back and forth over economic policies intensifies. With the presidential contest lineup set to be formally locked in this week, both sides turn their attention to issue number one on the minds of the voters: the economy and inflation. KAMALA HARRIS:  I will go after the bad actors and work to pass the first ever federal ban on price gauging(sic) on food. DONALD TRUMP: A lot of people are very devastated by what’s happened with inflation and all of the other things. But they say it's the most important subject. I'm not sure it is. But they say it’s the most important sort- inflation is the most important, but that’s part of economy. BRENNAN: The former president's prescription is two fold. TRUMP: Vote Trump and your incomes will soar… BRENNAN: And a new line of false attacks on Vice President Harris. TRUMP: Kamala went full communist. You heard that? She went full communist. She wants to destroy our country. After causing catastrophic inflation. BRENNAN: We'll tell you why that is wrong, and how the voters see the candidates' handling of the economy in our new CBS News poll.  Alas, viewers were not told why “this is wrong”, nor was there any evidence shown to prove “false” Trump’s attack of Harris’s proposals as “communist”. Subsequent interviews with Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear and Austan Goolsbee, President and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and former Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under the Obama Administration yielded none of the refutations that were promised. Beshear offered some justification for price controls via anti-monopoly mechanisms and Goolsbee gave Brennan nothing. Viewers were left with an open worthy of a Democrat comms shop, rather than anything resembling journalism or a discussion of the day’s issues. Margaret Brennan will join Norah O’Donnell in co-moderating the October 1st vice presidential debate on CBS. Today’s performance suggests that we may look back at Candy Crowley as the good old days.
