Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, accusing the Ukrainian leader of “trying to interfere” in a U.S. election by attending an event with only Democrats in a critical swing state ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Cruz’s remarks on his “Verdict” podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson come after Zelensky attacked Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance in an interview with the New Yorker before he flew to Pennsylvania for an event at the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant with Governor Josh Shapiro (D), Senator Bob Casey (D-PA), and Congressman Matt Cartwright (D-PA). “Who the hell is Zelensky to be trying to interfere in our election?” Cruz asked. “The arrogance of this guy… And the guy, I’ve got to say, is an absolute moron for coming to the US six weeks before the election and attacking Trump and Vance.” “I don’t care if Zelensky likes or dislikes what they have to say, if he had the sense God gave a cricket, he would have said on that question, ‘You know what? I’m not going to comment about US elections, that’s for the people of America to decide,'” he continued. “That would have been smart. But you know what, Kamala Harris is perfectly happy to use this guy as essentially a campaign prop. And as I said, it is absolutely infuriating.” Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! “Zelensky, this is just dumb on his part, because if Trump wins, he’s got a huge problem that just got bigger,” Cruz said. “And if Trump loses, you know, good luck trying to get Republicans to listen to what he has to say if he just behaves like a Democrat campaign activist.” He said that while he normally tries to extend grace to people, Zelensky’s actions were “remarkably foolish” and “one of the greatest unforced errors I’ve seen a foreign leader do.” “I’ve never seen this happen in my entire life, and I think it really was a bad, bad mistake by Zelensky,” he added. WATCH: Who the hell is Zelenskyy to be interfering in our election? He is an absolute moron for coming to the U.S. six weeks before the election and campaigning for Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania.https://t.co/OznQWmP6af pic.twitter.com/ailXnE97ni — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) September 25, 2024

This hilarious bathroom treat is sure to start a new trend. @thestayathomewifeandmom And yes, those are my glasses #cruise #cruisetok #cruiselife #cruiseship #cruisevacation ♬ Cute mischief, scheming (loop) – The Penguin Imagine walking into your bathroom, only to discover that there’s a new fella in town. This cruise ship staff could’ve easily made a guest jump with their creature-like towel art! Thankfully, the visitor had a great sense of humor. Their new roommate was seated calmly, with glasses on, reading some paperwork on the toilet. We’ve all been there, am I right? “And yes, those are my glasses,” captioned the guest. This image is from TikTok. I personally love that this creature isn’t really trying to be anything other than a cruise ship towel gentleman.

Folks have taken to their comments to express their glee in this silly little cruise ship creature. “Humans are so cute sometimes.

It’s amazing what we are willing to do for the ones we love. Makenzie Walters is still pregnant with her child, but that little baby already has Grandpa wrapped around their little finger! Despite living across the country, Makenzie’s dad wanted to take the time to create something special for his first grandbaby. The gift? A beautiful mural, created by Grandpa himself. To make that happen, he spent a grand total of 90 hours on the mural…. and he’s not even done! He’ll be back at Makenzie’s house during a separate visit to finish it. Even though it’s not complete, much of the work has been done, and it couldn’t look more beautiful! Proud of her dad, Makenzie shared a video showcasing all the love and attention Grandpa has given to this project. See for yourself in the viral video below! @makenzieewalters Tell me you have the best dad without telling me you have the best dad #pregnanttiktok #nursery #nurserydecor ♬ original sound – Zach Bryan Archive Grandpa’s Love for First Grandbaby Shines Through in This Beautiful Mural It’s absolutely heartwarming to see the care given with each and every stroke of Grandpa’s paintbrush. We aren’t given any info on his profession, but based on this mural, it could not be more clear that he is an artist at heart. If this is how the mural looks when it’s not even done, we can’t imagine what it will look like with the finishing details! “Tell me you have the best dad without telling me you have the best dad,” Makenzie writes in the caption of her video. Makenzie isn’t the only one in love with her dad’s mural. Her video has received over 13,000 comments, most of which can’t get over this sweet act of love. “If I ever moved, I’d cut the drywall out and bring it with us,” one person in the comments admits, with another adding, “See I’m too sentimental, I’d have to live there forever lol.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

Author of The Widow in the Woods Are you prepared for a fire in your home or your vehicle? We’ve talked a lot about how to prepare for a wildfire evacuation, but it’s not only forest dwellers who need to be ready for fires. This article isn’t about preparing your family and teaching them what to do – that’s coming up soon. This is about a few fire preparedness items you should have in your home and car that could buy you the time and ability to escape. Fire preparedness kits Here are a few fire safety preps that could come in handy, potentially saving homes and even lives. Fire suppression blankets I keep one of these by the fireplace, in the kitchen, and in my vehicle. They work very well to smother a small fire and prevent it from becoming an inferno. Fire extinguishers I don’t think you can have too many fire extinguishers. When I lived in fire country, I hung one in every bedroom closet, as well as the kitchen. Not only can it stop a blaze in its tracks, but you can also use it to make your way to an escape. I use this kind in my home. For my vehicle, I keep one of these little ones under each front seat. They’re small and can be conveniently located to help you in the event you’re in an accident and the vehicle catches on fire. Instructions Does everyone in the family know what to do in the event of a fire? You can post these signs to remind your loved ones of what to do in the event of a fire. Escape ladders If you are trapped upstairs during a fire, you’ll need a safe way to get down. These are also advisable if you live in an upper apartment. I have had one of these under each bed for years. I prefer this kind because it hooks easily and securely on the windowsill, and they’ll work even if you aren’t good at tying fancy knots. They also have a three-story version. If you have pets you can lower them down with one of these gadgets. Fire cloak Another thing that I find pretty interesting is this fire cloak. It has a hood to cover your hair and you use it if you have no option but to go through an area with flames. It’s made from flame-retardent fiberglass and liquid silicone for maximum protection. Smoke Mask This smoke mask is a new product that I haven’t seen before, but if it works as described it would be handy in both your home and automotive kits. It comes folded up in a small plastic package and you put it on in the event of a fire. It has heat-proof goggles to protect your eyes and a filter to help you breathe without sucking in quite as much smoke. It isn’t a long-term solution, but if it works as described, it could buy you an extra five or ten minutes if you are trapped in a fire. If I was still in fire country I would absolutely keep these in my vehicle for evacuations. Protect your documents Finally, there are some documents that you’ll really want to protect. Things like deeds, mortgage papers, car ownership documents, and birth certificates will all fit nicely into this fire-proof, waterproof pouch. You can also stash cash in it. It has a combination lock. Pouches are far less expensive than boxes and safes. Escape tool I always keep these car escape tools in the center console of my vehicles. They are capable of smashing your window if the doors won’t open and have a cutter for seatbelts that are stuck. What else would you add to your fire preparedness kit? These items aren’t foolproof. There is always severe risk and danger if your house or automobile is on fire. You want to give yourself and your loved ones every advantage possible. Every minute you buy for escape gives you more chances at survival. Your lives are more important than any possession, and these items could help. Is there anything you’d recommend adding to this list? Do you have these items in your fire preparedness kit? Have you ever used any of these products yourself?
