The devil went down to Arlington, looking for some votes to steal. He was in a bind, polls had him behind, and he was willing to make a deal. He came across this younger gal sneering, which made him hot. The devil jumped up at a rally and said, 'Girl, let me tell you what. I guess you didn’t know it, but I’m a politician too.'

And if you care to take a dare, I’ll make a bet with you. Now, you got a pretty good game face, girl. But give the devil his due. I’ll bet shoes of gold against your soul, cause I think I’m blacker than you.' The girl said, 'My name’s Kamala and it might be a sin, but I’ll take your bet and you’re gonna regret cause America’s sick of you.'

To commemorate Labor Day, Donald Trump took his campaign crew to the graves of recently fallen American heroes at Arlington National Cemetery. Federal law prohibits political campaign stunts on such hallowed grounds: 'Memorial services and ceremonies at Army National Military Cemeteries will not include partisan political activities.' Trump’s team claims that the families 'invited' his crew for photos at the graves. However, families can't waive federal law, and they didn’t invite him to post the videos on social media nor authorize him to smile over soldiers' graves.

When an Army cemetery employee tried to intervene, she was belittled as having 'mental health' issues. Trump’s actions appear illegal, with his team jostling a federal employee who suggested compliance with the law. Presently, Trump claims the Harris campaign fabricated the story. Yet, his team allegedly has video footage proving no one was shoved. If true, Trump would have already shared this video online.

Trump's accusation of Kamala Harris for the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal ignores that he negotiated with the Taliban, reducing U.S. troops without consulting military experts. This set the stage for a chaotic withdrawal. Trump might be relying on the American public’s short memory to shift blame onto Harris. The devil better call Raffensperger early; those 11,000 votes won’t find themselves.

In a video posted to Reddit, Lucie Rosenthal’s face starts focused and uncertain before she releases a burp, followed by surprise and laughter. Rosenthal, working remotely, experienced uncontrollable burping after the procedure. Rosenthal is one of over a thousand who received the procedure since 2019. The inability to burp, called retrograde cricopharyngeus dysfunction or 'no-burp syndrome', causes bloating, pain, and excessive flatulence.

Botox injections into the cricopharyngeal muscle resolve this by allowing burping. Michael King, a laryngologist, hadn’t heard of the disorder until 2020, when a teenager asked for the procedure, having read about it on Reddit. This subreddit has grown into one of the platform’s larger groups.

Daryl Moody, plagued by this issue, paid $2,700 for the procedure after insurance deemed it 'experimental'. His skydiving hobby was affected by the bloating. The Botox treatment enabled him to participate in skydiving events more comfortably. Historical records as far back as 2,000 years describe people unable to burp. Recent studies confirmed the disorder’s existence and showed Botox as an effective treatment. Though the condition might involve a placebo effect, patients like Rosenthal report significant relief.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, speaking at the Human Rights Campaign’s gala, emphasized his and Kamala Harris’ advocacy for LGBTQ rights. Responding to Sen. J.D. Vance's acceptance of school shootings as a 'fact of life', Walz argued that preventing children from being shot dead in schools is not an acceptable fact.

The shooting at Apalachee High School reignited Democratic calls to ban assault weapons and implement red flag laws. Walz praised Harris for her LGBTQ rights support and criticized GOP policies against trans individuals. Walz has been an advocate for LGBTQ rights, highlighting his early support for same-sex marriage and the repeal of 'don’t ask, don’t tell'. As governor, he signed laws protecting transgender health care access and banning conversion therapy. He condemned book bans targeting LGBTQ authors and Republican efforts to restrict transgender rights.

Donald Trump’s ongoing false claims of voter fraud pose a significant threat to American democracy. Historically used to suppress minority voters, this strategy, if unchecked, could undermine the electoral process. Trump’s demand to include a proof of citizenship requirement in budget legislation aims to disenfranchise thousands of voters under the guise of preventing nonexistent voter fraud. With Republican support, this effort continues the legacy of voter suppression that began in 1964. Effective responses from media and officials are crucial to safeguarding democratic principles and ensuring fair elections.
