7. It is a bit weird that the University of Alabama at Birmingham received over $158,000 in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to study vaginal health issues among transgender men, addressing gaps in sexual health services for this underserved population. The grant has sparked debate, with former Alabama State Sen. Phil Williams criticizing the project as an example of “first world problems” funded by taxpayer dollars.
6. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine reported that all 33 bomb threats against Springfield schools were hoaxes originating from overseas, leading to daily sweeps by state police for safety. DeWine also questioned where President Donald Trump and Sen. JD Vance would seek apologies from the media for allegedly inciting these false claims about Haitian immigrants, which will never be given.
5. Portage County Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski is urging residents to document the addresses of Kamala Harris supporters, suggesting that these addresses could be used to target them with illegal immigrants in the future. The sheriff’s comments come amid heightened tensions in Springfield, Ohio, where the influx of Haitian migrants has become a focal point for national debate and laid the groundwork for the latest media push to silence inconvenient information for Democrats by calling it misinformation.
4. CNN data reporter Harry Enten warned that Vice President Kamala Harris is in a “danger zone” with her current poll numbers, as she leads in key battleground states by only 0.3 points compared to a 2.5-point national average. Enten noted that while Harris is favored nationally, her tighter margins in crucial states mean her chances of winning the Electoral College are less secure, with only a 50% chance if she wins the popular vote; this mimics prediction guru Nate Silver’s pronouncements that Harris is a weak candidate.
3. During a X Spaces appearance, former President Donald Trump described President Joe Biden as “very nice” for reaching out after the recent assassination attempt, with Biden expressing relief and offering to ensure Trump’s security needs were met. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) stated that Congress is prepared to provide additional resources to the Secret Service as part of the appropriations process, following the recent assassination attempt on former President Trump, and emphasized the need to ensure such incidents are prevented in the future.
2. Former President Donald Trump is set to attend Alabama’s football game against the Georgia Bulldogs in Tuscaloosa on Sept. 28, according to Mark Halperin of Newsmax TV. Trump’s last visit to Bryant-Denny Stadium was in 2019, where he received an enthusiastic reception during a game between Alabama and LSU. Alabama’s saddest member of the local media is not handling this well, attempting to suggest this isn’t real.
1. The media and their Democrats are blaming former President Donald Trump for daring to be shot at, twice, U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-N.J.) attributed the second assassination attempt on former President Trump to a “confluence” of Republican misinformation and the widespread availability of assault rifles, criticizing the GOP for contributing to a divisive and dangerous climate. The Cincinnati Enquirer published a letter to the editor attributing former President Trump’s assassination attempts to his own inflammatory rhetoric, claiming he “brings a lot of this stuff on himself,” NBC’s Lester Holt, who the shooter praised, tried to claim his talk about Haitian immigrants fanned the flames and brought this on and MSNBC was predictably awful.
