Each day with Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign brings us closer to a dystopian reality. In fact, given her steadfast refusal to answer questions from the press, as well as the shameless ease with which she abandons her oft-stated policy positions, the Democratic presidential nominee resembles an AI candidate that...

A heartwrenching moment as a little boy named Bentley is reunited with his family after falling into an underground pipe. It was a beautiful sunny day to try walking in new shoes and enjoying the sunshine with his mom. Bentley's mom didn't know the danger that was about to unfold. She didn’t know how God protected her son as he fell down a 12-foot-deep pipe. RELATED: Rescuers Worked Tirelessly And Finally Saved A Toddler Who Fell Into A Well Bentley Was Rescued From An Underground Pipe On July 28, in a dramatic turn of events, the hand of divine protection was evident as Bentley, a 14-month-old boy, was rescued from an underground pipe in Moundridge, Kansas. What could have been a tragic accident became proof of God's watchful care and the swift actions of brave first responders. As the Moundridge Police Department (MPD) arrived at the scene, they discovered Bentley trapped in a pipe. Despite the dire situation, Bentley was found upright and seemingly unharmed, a sight that brought a wave of relief. The incident unfolded with an emotional intensity captured in body camera footage. Bentley's cries echoed through the pipe, amplifying the urgency of his rescue. In these tense moments, the comforting presence of God was felt through the calm and assured responses of the first responders. "He's breathing, he's crying, which is a great thing," one responder said, a reassurance that reflected the faith and hope they clung to. The scene was a vivid reminder of divine protection as Bentley’s cries were answered with swift, compassionate action. RELATED: Rescuers' Hearts Break As They Find Puppies in Dumpster but Then Love Transforms Them They Used a Makeshift Catch Pole To Rescue Him Officer Ronnie Wagner's quick thinking played a pivotal role in the rescue. Using a makeshift "catch pole" fashioned from PVC pipe and rope, he and his team managed to lift Bentley from the pipe in just 15-20 minutes. It was a moment where human ingenuity met divine providence. It illustrates how God guided their hands and hearts during the critical rescue. As Bentley was finally pulled from the pipe, the scene of him being embraced by his parents was nothing short of miraculous. The sight of Bentley's mother holding him close, caught on camera in the ambulance, was a tender moment that powerfully demonstrated just how much a mother loves and protects her children through God's grace and love. The MPD's statement echoed the sentiment of gratitude for the divine and human effort that ensured Bentley's safety. "We are relieved to report that the child, while understandably shaken, was unharmed and is once again safe," they said. "We extend our deepest gratitude to all the first responders for their swift and effective action, which transformed a dangerous situation into a successful rescue." RELATED: Rescue Husky Dog Sensed An Invisible Danger And Wouldn't Let Up Until Her Family Was Safe The Rescue Was a Collective Effort In a touching Facebook update, the MPD highlighted the collective effort of the first responders. It praised the community's unity and the divine protection that guided them. "The combined effort from all responding agencies made this incident run smoothly and ultimately successful. We are very thankful for the tight-knit first responder community in Moundridge, and our relationships with each other help make calls like this successful," they wrote.

College athletes in Montana are allegedly being offered up to thousands of dollars to produce endorsement videos of Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT), Fox News reports. Tester is widely believed to be the most vulnerable Senate Democrat in the 2024 election cycle. The outlet reported a group called “Montana Together” offered payments to athletes at the University of Montana in exchange for the endorsement videos. Tester voted against the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act…then his backers tried to bribe football players to support him. @jontester doesn't represent Montana. He represents DC and the left coast. All hat and no cattle. https://t.co/KDCCCWWokf #FoxNews — Tommy Tuberville (@TTuberville) August 29, 2024 Per Fox News: In July, the initial contact was made on behalf of “Montana Together” through a representative at Opendorce.com, a platform used as a marketplace for athletes to score Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals. NIL is a policy approved by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in 2021 that allows college athletes to monetize their content. The group was offering student athletes a range of offers from $400 to $2,400 in exchange for a video “spreading the word” about the Democratic senator, a copy of the emails shared with Fox News Digital reveals. “We have an NIL opportunity for Montana student-athletes, and I could use your help getting the information below to any individuals who you recommend applying for this campaign. Montana Together is using Opendorse to source athletes for an NIL deal,” the email obtained by Fox News Digital reads. “Who are they looking for?: Athletes who attend college in Montana and are interested in spreading the word about Senator Jon Tester and causes you care about.” The deals were offered as follows: $400 for two scripted videos, $800 for two unscripted videos, and $2,400 for four unscripted videos. Tester’s campaign told Fox News Digital they have no knowledge of the offers and aren’t in communication with the group. “Tester was one of 51 Democrats who voted against an amendment to prevent biological men from competing in women’s sports,” Outkick noted. Montana Senator Jon Tester has reportedly been offering cash to college athletes in exchange for endorsement videos. Sidenote: Tester was one of 51 Democrats who voted against an amendment to prevent biological men from competing in women's sports. READ: https://t.co/XiYYZwEkME pic.twitter.com/eY4WLDkYkd — OutKick (@Outkick) August 29, 2024 Outkick reports: Based on the emails, Sen. Tester and his campaign come across as incredibly desperate. Given his stance on transgender athletes competing in women’s sports – something voters in the historically red state of Montana are likely very passionate about – his desperation makes sense. Sen. Tester was one of 51 Democrats who voted against a Republican-led amendment to prevent biological men from competing in women’s sports. Lily Meskers, a track athlete at the University of Montana who first made the offer to athletes public, remembered the senator’s stance on that specific matter. “When I first received the NIL deal offer, I immediately felt frustration. I had to ask myself, ‘Why would someone seek my endorsement when their values directly negatively impact me?’ Tester’s vote against the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act is against everything I’ve worked toward as a female athlete,” Meskers explained. “This vote is a gateway to biological men taking away scholarships, medals and roster spots from female athletes. Many female athletes on my team shared this frustration.”

North Carolina’s board of elections has refused to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from the presidential ballot despite his decision to drop out of battleground states. RFK Jr. announced last week he would remove his name from the ballot in 10 battleground states, including North Carolina. BREAKING: The North Carolina Board of Elections just voted to REJECT RFK Jr's request to withdraw his name from the ballot, but any votes he gets WON'T COUNT since he has withdrawn from the race DEMOCRATS ARE CHEATING IN BROAD DAYLIGHT They're basically using his name to take… pic.twitter.com/szmAHRHhAu — George (@BehizyTweets) August 29, 2024 Per Axios: The impact of the move is likely statistically small. But in a state where elections are won on slim margins, Kennedy’s remaining on the ballot could still be enough to sway the presidential election here, though it’s unclear in whose direction. Kennedy was polling an average of 3.7% in North Carolina as of Aug. 22, per FiveThirtyEight, higher than the margin by which Trump won in 2020. The majority-Democratic state elections board voted along party lines to reject the We the People party’s request to withdraw its candidate, RFK Jr., in an emergency meeting Thursday, citing the state’s looming deadlines to complete ballot printing. Removing Kennedy from the ballot would’ve required reprinting some 1.73 million ballots as of Thursday just over a week before absentee ballots are set to go out, per state elections board executive director Karen Brinson Bell. Meanwhile, RFK Jr. is unable to get his name on the ballot in New York. RFK Jr. can't get off North Carolina ballot, can't get back on it in New York https://t.co/dati6GLfyO — The Washington Times (@WashTimes) August 29, 2024 From the Associated Press: Meanwhile, an appeals court in New York rejected Kennedy’s request to get back on the ballot there, upholding a judge’s decision to disqualify him for having lied on elections paperwork about where he lived. On Friday, Kennedy suspended his independent campaign and endorsed Republican Donald Trump. He has since sought to withdraw his name from the ballot in states where the presidential race is expected to be close, including North Carolina. Simultaneously, he has tried to stay on the ballot in states like New York where his presence is unlikely to make a difference in the battle between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. A midlevel appeals court on Thursday affirmed a ruling from a trial court judge who said Kennedy falsely claimed to live in New York on his nominating petitions, despite actually living in California. Like North Carolina, RFK Jr. will remain on the ballot in Michigan and Wisconsin. Will Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Still Appear On The Ballot In Battleground States?
