Former President Donald Trump mocked President Joe Biden during a visit to hurricane-ravaged Georgia on Monday, saying he had not discussed federal disaster relief efforts with the sitting president because he didn’t want to wake him. Trump made the comments during a planned stop in Valdosta, Georgia, where he planned to meet with emergency responders and speak with reporters in addition to handing out supplies to residents impacted by the storm.

Trump praised the efforts of Governor Brian Kemp (R-GA) and continued to call out the Biden-Harris administration over its failure to address the situation that is still unfolding across the southeastern United States.

President Biden was also pressed on Monday about why he and Vice President Kamala Harris — who is currently running against Trump in the 2024 presidential race — had not returned to Washington, D.C., in order to better coordinate federal relief efforts. Biden responded by claiming he had been in “command” of the situation because he had spent two hours on the phone.

I was on the phone for two hours yesterday.'” Harris, who was fundraising over the weekend — raking in millions from Hollywood heavyweights — released a statement through the White House stating that she planned to visit some of the areas most impacted by the hurricane “as soon as it is possible without disrupting emergency response operations.” RELATED: Biden Claims He Was ‘Commanding’ Hurricane Response Away From Washington: ‘It’s Called A Telephone’

A high-profile clean-energy startup is running short on cash and may fail to obtain a $1 billion government loan promised by the Biden-Harris administration. Monolith, a company that makes a tire-strengthening material called carbon black and ammonia for fertilizer using a low-emissions process, is running out of the money it needs to expand its facilities, The Wall Street Journal reported. Part of the problem is the rising costs for the company’s planned expansion, which is a key part of the company’s future. The company is now in danger of running out of cash by the end of the year, according to company documents reviewed by WSJ. Some existing investors are expected to give Monolith more than $100 million to keep it going, but it needs several hundred million to get the company a $1 billion loan from the Biden-Harris administration. Of course, the government could still fund the loan even if Monolith doesn’t meet requirements, either in part or under different conditions. And given how Democrats regularly fund green-energy projects, it’s likely Monolith will still get its massive government loan. Monolith Chief Executive Rob Hanson told WSJ that he expects to start raising the needed cash for the expansion early next year, and a government Loan Programs Office spokeswoman told the outlet that Monolith is making progress on the milestones it needs to obtain the government loan. The deal to give Monolith a $1 billion government loan was made in December 2021 and was the first commitment from the Energy Department’s Loan Programs Office under Jigar Shah, himself a former clean-energy entrepreneur, the WSJ reported. Shah made a name for himself, working on green energy programs and advocating for solutions to climate change, both major leftist policies that have seen advocates become extremely wealthy without showing meaningful results. Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! Once Monolith received the government loan deal, it was able to raise more than $300 million the next summer from investors – including TPG and Decarbonization Partners, which is owned by BlackRock and Temasek in Singapore. In total, the company has raised around $725 million in equity. As WSJ reported, Monolith is facing the same problems as similar companies, including a high-valued battery startup in Europe that has had to cut jobs and halt a factor expansion because people aren’t buying electric cars. The outlet noted that several climate startups have filed for bankruptcy in the past few months. It’s similar to the green tech boom and failure of former President Barack Obama’s first term when his administration handed out billions to green energy companies that either filed for bankruptcy or didn’t live up to expectations. The most famous example of Obama’s presidency was Solyndra, which received half a billion government loans before filing for bankruptcy in 2011.

Remember when logging into X (back when we called it Twitter) promised the possibility of a chuckle or maybe some witty insight from a very wise man?  It was a time not long ago when Donald J. Trump used the social media platform to share his every thought with the world. Even his harshest critics must admit in the deepest cockles of their ice-cold hearts that Trump has a way with words. He’s an innovator, a bold and fearless leader, and he’s never afraid to say what everyone else is thinking. Yes, he’s even a poet. Because those tweets spaced properly and bound between the pages of a book become something more – they become a story, a message, a beacon of hope. “The Collected Poems of Donald J. Trump” has been sold out in The Daily Wire Store for a while now for obvious reasons. Ever since the former president got kicked off Twitter back when the thought police still reigned, the people have been hungry for his insights. Having those thoughts bound and printed lends each verse the gravitas it deserves.  Now the book is back in stock, but don’t expect it to last long. This poetic masterpiece pulls from Trump’s most iconic period (2009-2019), transforming 280-character gems into verses that dare to challenge the status quo. From musings on foreign policy to cultural hot takes, each poem resonates with the unfiltered energy of a president who rewrote the rules on how to lead — and how to tweet. Perfect for your coffee table, this book isn’t just a collection—it’s a conversation starter, a piece of history, and, yes, a national treasure. Whether you’re gifting it to a fellow fan or keeping it for yourself, it’s the perfect way to spark that MAGA magic all over again. Get your copy now before it’s out of stock again and show the world you know a real one when you see it.

Halloween is just around the corner, and many families are getting ready for the spooky season. One of the highlights for kids this time of year is the annual tradition of Trick-Or-Treating. While this can be a fun night and a core memory for lots of kids, it can also be difficult for others. Not all children can fully participate in the fun for several reasons, but plenty of people are working to change that. @the.baby.dietitian The Teal Pumpkin Project is a simple way to make trick-or-treating safer and more inclusive for the one in 13 children living with food allergies, and many others impacted by intolerances and other conditions. Placing a teal pumpkin on your doorstep signals that, in addition to candy, you offer non-food trinkets and treats that are safe for all trick or treaters. Help us make this Halloween one to remember! By adding your home to the Teal Pumpkin Project Map, you are making your house easy to find for those on the hunt for non-food treats. The more houses added to the Map, the more inclusive (and therefore more fun) we can make Halloween! Reminders for Trick or Treating with a child with a food allergy: -Stock up on safe treats or inexpensive trinkets/toys to trade for any unsafe candies your child might receive while trick-or-treating. You can also use sorting through your child’s candy as an opportunity to teach him or her about hidden allergens and reading labels. -Enforce a “no eating while trick-or-treating” rule, so that you have time to review all food labels. -Avoid candy and treats that do not have an ingredient label. Always have an epinephrine auto-injector available, if prescribed. -Keep in mind that the mini-size, fun-size, or bite-size version of candy may contain different ingredients than their full-size counterparts. Make no assumptions, and read all labels carefully.

RD, IBCLC Keep An Eye Out For Colored Pumpkins This Year Black and orange are traditional Halloween colors but are not the only ones to look out for this year. You may notice teal and blue pumpkins popping up in retailers, and they’re there for a good cause. Food Allergy Research & Education helped start the Teal Pumpkin Project, which helps identify homes that offer non-food treats on Halloween for kids with allergies. “No child should ever be excluded from a celebration because of a disease. Food allergies are a disease of the immune system — not a diet — not a choice,” Sung Poblete, PhD, RN, CEO of FARE, explained to People. “We are grateful that Teal Pumpkin Project, which was created by one food allergy mom working to provide an inclusive experience for her child and other children with food allergies, is now a national initiative.” In addition to teal pumpkins, blue is also becoming a popular color at Halloween time. According to the National Autism Association, this movement went viral after a mom posted about her autistic son on Facebook. “If you see someone who appears to be an adult dressed up to trick-or-treat this year carrying this blue bucket, he’s our son! His name is BJ & he is autistic. While he has the body of a 21-year-old, he loves Halloween,” Alicia Plumer wrote. Colored buckets are a personal choice, and families should choose what makes them comfortable. But if you see them this year, now you know why. Happy Halloween to all!

Hailey Joel Osment was only ten years old when he earned an Oscar nomination for his performance in 1999’s The Sixth Sense. His performance made an impact on many people, including his co-star, Bruce Willis. He wasn’t even a teenager, but his acting abilities proved to be that of a veteran star. He and Bruce went their separate ways, but the adult actor continued to check in on the child star. It’s Been 25 Years Since Hailey Joel Osment Bruce Willis’ “The Sixth Sense” Debuted Hailey Joel Osment is now 36 and reflecting on his friend, Bruce Willis, 69. He told People that in the years after they worked together on The Sixth Sense, Bruce checked in on him a lot. “He would just call out of the blue … in the lead-up before travel. We went to Japan together twice … to open The Sixth Sense in different cities,” he added. “So [Bruce] would call ahead of that, and then sometimes I would just come home from school and the answering machine would be blinking and it’d be him going like, ‘Hey, Haley Joel. Just saying hi.'” Hailey Joel recalled seeing many of Bruce’s films before they worked together, so getting to know him was a big deal. “And that’s something that lasts your entire career, where you get to work with people who you’ve enjoyed watching in other things,” he told People. “It made a huge impression on me because that was the first gigantic celebrity that I’d worked with at an age where I was aware of his stardom.” Bruce Willis has lost his ability to communicate due to complications from frontotemporal dementia. His family has been outspoken about his illness and their gratitude for all the love and support they’ve received. Tallulah Willis shared an essay in Vogue that read in part, “I have hopes for my father that I’m so reluctant to let go of. I’ve always recognized elements of his personality in me, and I just know that we’d be such good friends if only there were more time.” This story’s featured image is by Getty Images / Handout.

It is entirely normal to experience feelings of anxiety without having a “mental illness”. These kinds of emotions are part of the human experience, and can be triggered by a wide range of life events and circumstances, including: Stressful life events, such as the loss of a loved one, a breakup, financial difficulties, or work-related stress, can lead to feelings of sadness and anxiety. These emotions are often considered normal reactions to challenging situations.Major life transitions, like starting a new job, moving to a new city, or adjusting to a significant change in circumstances, can cause temporary feelings of anxiety as individuals adapt to the new situation.Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a type of depression related to changes in seasons, typically occurring in the fall and winter. This can lead to feelings of sadness and anxiety during certain times of the year.Physical health problems, such as chronic illness or chronic pain, can lead to emotional distress, including anxiety and sadness. These emotional responses are often a natural reaction to dealing with health challenges.Environmental factors, like exposure to excessive noise, pollution, or a lack of access to natural settings, can contribute to stress, which may manifest as anxiety and sadness.Conflicts, misunderstandings, or difficulties in personal relationships can lead to emotional distress, anxiety and sadness.Personal growth and transformation. For example, individuals may feel anxious when stepping out of their comfort zone or sad when reflecting on past experiences and changes in life goals. It's important to recognize that experiencing occasional anxiety or sadness does not necessarily indicate a mental problem. The way we see something affects how it impacts our health, mentally and physically, so it is important that we take the time to think about how we think about feelings like anxiety or sadness. Labels may give us security, but we should be careful of getting too comfortable, because we may end up avoiding doing the hard work needed to get to the root of our anxiety and create sustainable, positive change in our lives. We should avoid using labels as a coping mechanism; rather, they are descriptions that can help us better understand where we are and can be used to challenge ourselves to face and overcome what we are dealing with.Part of this process means learning how to manage our feelings of anxiety. This means reconceptualizing those anxious thoughts when they arise, rather than just accepting them as broken parts of us or as a “disease”, which can be overwhelming, hopeless and scary. Indeed, a label alone can lock us in, potentially shaping the way we see ourselves and our capacity to change and heal, and even stigmatizing our biology. Some people may view themselves as inherently lacking control and being unstable or dangerous to themselves and others, even if this is not the case.If this is you, and you are not sure where to start, here are 3 tips to help you manage your feelings of anxiety before they manage you:Photo Credit: ©iStock/Getty Images Plus/Marsell Gorska Gautier
