Former President Donald Trump declared on Thursday that he would not participate in another debate against Vice President Kamala Harris, who signaled that she wants a second face-off — but only after getting favorable treatment by the moderators during their first match held by ABC News earlier this week. “When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, ‘I WANT A REMATCH.’ Polls clearly show that I won the Debate against Comrade Kamala Harris, the Democrats’ Radical Left Candidate, on Tuesday night, and she immediately called for a Second Debate,” Trump said in a post to Truth Social. “She and Crooked Joe have destroyed our Country, with millions of criminals and mentally deranged people pouring into the USA, totally unchecked and unvetted, and with Inflation bankrupting our Middle Class,” he added. “Everyone knows this, and all of the other problems caused by Kamala and Joe – It was discussed in great detail during the First Debate with Joe, and the Second Debate with Comrade Harris. She was a no-show at the Fox Debate, and refused to do NBC & CBS.” Ending his statement, Trump emphasized, “KAMALA SHOULD FOCUS ON WHAT SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE DURING THE LAST ALMOST FOUR YEAR PERIOD. THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!” In a post to X roughly an hour later, Harris said, “Two nights ago, Donald Trump and I had our first debate. We owe it to the voters to have another debate.” Harris and Trump clashed on Tuesday about such issues as abortion, the economy, national security, and border security. Despite what Trump said in his post to Truth Social, some early post-debate polls have shown viewers believe Harris performed better than him. However, the moderators, anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis, have faced intense criticism from the Right for challenging Trump on his claims while neglecting to do the same kind of fact-checking against Harris. Am I Racist? ONLY In Theaters Tomorrow—Get Your Tickets Now! The VP’s team released a statement soon after the ABC debate, calling for a second match in October. Jen O’Malley, the chairwoman of Harris’ campaign, said, “The American people got to see the choice they will face this fall at the ballot box: between moving forward with Kamala Harris, or going backwards with Trump. That’s what they saw tonight and what they should see at a second debate in October. Vice President Harris is ready for a second debate. Is Donald Trump?” On Fox News, live from the debate venue in Philadelphia after the event concluded, Trump said Harris wanted a second debate “because she lost.” Pressed by host Sean Hannity whether he would agree to another match, Trump said he might do it “if it was on a fair network.” Trump later told reporters he was open to Fox or NBC hosting the next one. However, as Trump made clear on Truth Social, he is no longer interested in doing another debate before the November election. The very first 2024 general election debate, held by CNN in June, featured Trump and President Joe Biden. Biden’s fumbling performance sparked a crisis of confidence among his allies and he stepped aside under pressure. After Harris took over atop the Democratic Party’s ticket, Trump floated three debates against her: the ABC event, as well as one held by Fox News on September 4 and another held by NBC News on September 25. The proposed Fox News date was later used for a town hall featuring Trump and Hannity. Harris’ campaign indicated it would only consider a second debate against Trump in October if he attended the ABC debate first and confirmed the VP’s interest when it ended.

Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz and Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), Harris’ and Trump’s running mates, respectively, will clash in a debate held by CBS News on October 1. Harris’ campaign refused to accept Vance’s offer of a second VP debate held by CNN.

Residents in Springfield, Ohio, are voicing their growing concerns over the significant influx of Haitian migrants, which they claim has led to the creation of a "two-tier society" that marginalizes local citizens. This small Midwestern town, with a population of around 60,000, has reportedly seen the arrival of up to 20,000 migrants in recent years, many of whom entered the U.S. through the southern border. Locals argue that this wave of migration, promoted by federal immigration policies, has distorted the local economy and destabilized neighborhoods. Springfield, like other small towns across America, has felt the strain of illegal immigration, particularly as businesses prioritize hiring migrants over struggling local workers. One local business owner acknowledged that Haitian workers are preferred for their reliability and willingness to accept low wages, a trend that leaves many Americans sidelined in their own job market​. Just tried to post this video of a resident of Springfield, OH telling the city's managers the Haitian illegals they trucked in are eating people's pets on @facebook a minute ago. Was IMMEDIATELY flagged as "false information." Who's doing DHS or the FBI's bidding over there? pic.twitter.com/zBrWhfu4Nt — Isaiah L. Carter (@IsaiahLCarter) September 11, 2024 Residents report that the Haitian influx has also created disparities in law enforcement and access to local services. Some claim that city officials and the police force turn a blind eye to violations committed by migrants, while enforcing rules more strictly on American citizens. For example, one resident recounted her frustration with an illegal auto repair shop run by migrants in her neighborhood. Despite her numerous complaints about the noise and disruption, she was threatened with arrest when police finally responded. Furthermore, the city’s social services are reportedly overwhelmed, with long-time residents struggling to receive assistance. One local shared her experience of being denied government aid because, as she put it, "I come from the wrong country." Homeless and jobless, she is now left sleeping on friends' couches while migrants seem to receive priority for housing and financial aid. At Springfield City Hall in Ohio residents are saying that landlords are kicking longtime residents out of homes because the government is paying "triple the rent" for Haitians. They’re eating the dogs too! Kamala wants these criminals to be able to vote! I will deport them! pic.twitter.com/SOPb7ebX9c — Donald J. Trump – Parody (@realDonParody) September 12, 2024 Critics argue that the issue stems from national immigration policies that have incentivized businesses to rely on cheaper migrant labor. With migrants willing to work for lower wages, local wages have stagnated, and there’s less pressure on businesses to invest in advanced machinery or better-paying jobs that could benefit the local workforce. This shift is part of what locals describe as a broader economic strategy tied to "Bidenomics," where businesses benefit from federal deficit spending and immigration, even as it harms working-class Americans. While local officials, including Mayor Warren Copeland, claim that the influx of migrants has helped revitalize parts of Springfield by filling low-wage jobs in industries like manufacturing, many residents remain unconvinced. They point to rising rents, overcrowded schools, and overloaded healthcare facilities as evidence that the town is ill-prepared to handle such a sudden population increase. Some migrants themselves have shared stories of hardship. One Haitian worker described living with 15 other migrants in a small two-bedroom house when he first arrived, reflecting the difficult conditions many face even after reaching the U.S. Still, employers prefer hiring migrants, citing their reliability and work ethic, which exacerbates tensions with locals who feel left behind​. Despite efforts by some to bridge the gap, Springfield remains deeply divided. The arrival of so many migrants has reshaped the town’s demographics and labor market, fueling resentment among locals who feel abandoned by their government. The situation in Springfield serves as a microcosm of the broader national debate over immigration, labor, and the future of small-town America.

Do you ever feel painfully uncool? If you have a child in school and they start to come home speaking totally new words that aren’t from a world language, you probably know what we mean. Every generation has its own slang words, and when people from older generations try to use them, well, let’s just say it can be totally cringe. Brian and Linda are the directors of the Northumberland Zoo in England, and their Gen Z staff members wrote a social media ad for the couple to perform. It is positively hilarious. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Northumberland Zoo (@northumberlandzoo) Brian And Linda Think The Zoo “Hits Different” After Talking To Gen Z They’re talking the talk, but are they walking the walk? We’re not quite sure, but the video is very funny. The Instagram caption reads, “Our Directors, Brian & Linda, understood… but totally didn’t understand the assignment.” We love when Brian says, “If you’re having a menty b, river walk,” and when he approaches a reptile cage and says, “It’s giving Amazon Rainforest.” Linda replies, “Lit” She also stands next to a raccoon having a snack and says, “See how he’s eating? He’s very cutesy, very mindful, and very demure.” Unsurprisingly, people love the pair for their deadpan delivery and clever quips. This person can’t wait to visit. ” I don’t know where Northumberland is, but I’m on my way.” So is this one, “This needs to go viral! How long does it take to get there for Australia?” “This is literally the best advert for anything, ever,” a fan wrote. “G.O.A.T. !!! This is such an example of good content!” This keen observer realized that Brian and Linda probably have no idea how popular their video really is. “They must be so confused with the success of this reel.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

Although Lainey Wilson is now winning various accolades for her musical talents and just became a member of the Grand Ole Opry, she does not forget her humble beginnings. While on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Falon, she shared how she wrote her first song at 9 years old, and she used to perform anywhere her parents would let her. Lainey Wilson’s Humble Beginnings While Lainey Wilson just won Entertainer of the Year, she didn’t start off that way. She shared that she used to perform in all sorts of odd locations, including the isles of Walmart. She told Jimmy, “I would play anywhere that they would let me play.” Wilson then went on to share some of the specific spots she would play her music. “I’m talking about nursing homes, flatbed trailers, anywhere like that.” From there, Lainey Wilson shared how her parents were a big part of her being brave enough to share her music. She said, “My parents would be like, ‘Hey Lainey, sing that song you just wrote last week for anybody.” Lainey said she was “bit by the bug” after writing her first single. Next, she told Jimmy Fallon that her humble upbringing had a lot to do with her desire to be an artist. She shared how her hometown was very small, a place where everyone knew everyone. She loved the stories that she grew up with, and she wanted to tell stories herself, and now she does through her music. A Star Is Born Lainey Wilson continued with, “I wanted to make people feel something.” Jimmy Fallon then pulled out an image of one of Lainey’s first CDs. Lainey shares that her grandmother printed the photographs of her and put them on all of the covers. Then, Lainey went around and offered them to friends and family. “I was handing them out like candy,” she joked to Fallon. “Nobody was buying them. I was trying to sell them, though.” From there, she gives fans a small taste of one of the verses from the song “Country Girls Rule” on that CD album from her beginnings. The verse she shared had the following lyrics: “We wear our jeans, just a little too tight. Tank tops, spaghetti straps, looking just right. Long hair, take a dare anywhere, Country girls rule, Yea country girls rule.” From there, she shares her favorite line from the song. She sings, “Pea-picking, finger-licking, butt-kicking.” Lainey Wilson Is Hannah Montana? Another fun fact from Wilson’s life was revealed on The Tonight Show. Jimmy shared that he discovered Wilson was a Hannah Montana impersonator. Lainey laughed and explained, “A lot of the time, I would open the show as Lainey Wilson and then I would run behind a tree or whatever and put on my Hannah Montana get-up.” The star performed like this from 8th grade to 12th grade, doing 3 to 4 birthday parties a weekend. It is incredible to see how far Lainey Wilson has come. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
