Police couldn't get into an elderly resident's home, but as soon as they saw that they could use the doggy door, they knew just who to call for help. The hero might surprise you! When the officers arrived, they quickly assessed the situation and realized that forcing entry was far from ideal. They didn’t want to damage the home, which was clearly cherished by its owner. As they pondered their options, one of the officers noticed a small doggy door near the back of the house. It was too small for any of the officers to fit through, but then Officer Jenkins had a brilliant idea. RELATED: Police Officer Shows Up On Doorstep With Food After Delivery Driver Gets Arrested Lincoln Dobson Came To Help The Police Force A few minutes later, the sound of flip-flops hitting the pavement echoed down the street. Lincoln Dobson, a 9-year-old boy and an honorary member of the Groesbeck Police Force, arrived on the scene. Lincoln had been an honorary officer for quite some time, known for his enthusiasm, quick thinking, and eagerness to help out whenever he could. And today, his size was just what the officers needed. With a quick nod of encouragement from the officers, Lincoln approached the doggy door. He dropped to his hands and knees before carefully wriggling through the small opening. On the other side, Lincoln found himself in the cozy interior of the home. He quickly made his way to the front door, where he managed to turn the turn the deadbolt and the door swung open. After successfully unlocking the door, Lincoln humbly said, "It feels good," when asked about the important work he had done for the police.

Lincoln's father, Randall Dobson, was beaming with pride. "He's always eager to help others, and that showed in his response to getting the call," Randall said. At the time, Lincoln had been enjoying a sunny afternoon at the pool, savoring the last few days of summer. But when Randall informed him about the call, Lincoln didn't hesitate. "He jumped into action and was ready to go!" Randall recalled. As the Groesbeck Police and Lincoln's family reflected on the day’s events, they were reminded of the words in Galatians 6:2 "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ." Lincoln's willingness to help in a time of need was a true example of this verse in action.

Donald Trump said he “reached an agreement” with Kamala Harris for the September 10th presidential debate on ABC News. “I have reached an agreement with the Radical Left Democrats for a Debate with Comrade Kamala Harris. It will be Broadcast Live on ABC FAKE NEWS, by far the nastiest and most unfair newscaster in the business, on Tuesday, September 10th, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,” Trump said on Truth Social. “The Rules will be the same as the last CNN Debate, which seemed to work out well for everyone except, perhaps, Crooked Joe Biden. The Debate will be ‘stand up,’ and Candidates cannot bring notes, or ‘cheat sheets.’ We have also been given assurance by ABC that this will be a ‘fair and equitable’ Debate, and that neither side will be given the questions in advance (No Donna Brazile!),” Trump continued. “Harris would not agree to the FoxNews Debate on September 4th, but that date will be held open in case she changes her mind or, Flip Flops, as she has done on every single one of her long held and cherished policy beliefs. A possible third Debate, which would go to NBC FAKE NEWS, has not been agreed to by the Radical Left. GOD BLESS AMERICA!” he added.

Both sides are accusing the other of gaming the system to protect their candidate. Biden’s campaign team made microphone muting a condition of its decision to accept any debates this year, and some aides now regret the decision, saying voters were shielded from hearing Trump’s outbursts during the debate. That move likely would not have helped the incumbent Democrat’s disastrous performance. Report: Kamala Harris wants the rules changed for the first presidential debate on September 10th on ABC News. The changes that team Harris wants include1. No muted mics through out the debate2. Both candidates will be seated3. Candidates will be allowed to have notes pic.twitter.com/mNdZXP4t1X — The Calvin Coolidge Project (@TheCalvinCooli1) August 26, 2024 “I watched ABC FAKE NEWS this morning, both lightweight reporter Jonathan Carl’s(K?) ridiculous and biased interview of Tom Cotton (who was fantastic!), and their so-called Panel of Trump Haters, and I ask, why would I do the Debate against Kamala Harris on that network?” Trump wrote Sunday. “Will panelist Donna Brazil give the questions to the Marxist Candidate like she did for Crooked Hillary Clinton? Will Kamala’s best friend, who heads up ABC, do likewise. Where is Liddle’ George Slopadopolus hanging out now? Will he be involved. They’ve got a lot of questions to answer!!! Why did Harris turn down Fox, NBC, CBS, and even CNN? Stay tuned!!!” he added. Per The Hill: Republicans argued that Trump, who has dismissed the idea that Harris is gaining ground in the polls, can ill afford to skip the Sept. 10 debate. Democrats, meanwhile, are eager to label the former president as scared to take on the vice president. “That debate becomes a decisive moment for the election,” one Republican strategist said. “Paid media doesn’t move numbers. I don’t know how much swing voters pay attention to daily news cycles. But these debates are just Super Bowl-level events in American politics.”

Schools in Alabama and Tennessee temporarily closed and switched to remote learning due to a surge in COVID-19 cases. The closures reportedly impacted more than a thousand children. School officials said COVID-19 forced them to perform a ‘deep clean’ on facilities, according to Daily Mail. NEW – Covid surge forces schools to close and bring back pandemic-era measures- and more are at risk as millions head back to class next week — Alabama and Tennessee announced the closure of two schools — affecting more than a thousand children — just days into the new academic… — Insider Paper (@TheInsiderPaper) August 26, 2024 Per Daily Mail: The closures — both in Republican states — came despite a mountain of evidence suggesting they hamper children’s learning, social interactions and ability to develop natural immunity to common infections. And there are fears that more disruption could be in store for students in the coming months — with many schools, in states like New York, New Jersey and Michigan, returning after the Labor Day weekend. Johnson-Abernathy-Graetz (JAB) high school in Montgomery, Alabama, which has 1,500 students in grades 9 through 12, made the decision to switch to virtual classes just four days into its new academic year after 15 teachers caught Covid. There was no data on how many students were infected. Staff and children were told to stay home on Wednesday, August 14 and Thursday, August 15 and attend lessons via remote learning while a deep clean was conducted in the school buildings. The school has now re-opened with masks and disinfection wipes available in every classroom. Masks have not been made mandatory.

Class is now back in session at Stigall Primary School after it was briefly closed. But it shows that COVID is still part of our lives. Ginger Carver, Humboldt City Schools Director of Communications, said the school had several cases Monday in which students and faculty had tested positive for COVID over the weekend. Parents with students at the elementary school were told to keep them home as crews sanitized the building. “We just wanted to take precautions to let them out of school on Tuesday in order to fully clean the school, to get a good disinfection of every surface that we got,” Carver said. Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show COVID-19 infections are spiking in 39 states, including Tennessee.
