As President of the United States, I formally apologize for the Federal Indian Boarding School era.

America learns from our history.

[Governor Josh Stein @NC_Governor]

Failure to provide anything close to real, immediate funding for Helene recovery is appalling. Instead, the GOP legislature used financial crumbs to cover for massive power grabs.

President Biden should resign as an act of protest tomorrow so Kamala Harris could be sworn in as the first female president until January.

That would make Trump 48 and ruin that stupid hat of his.

Can we get this trending.

Here's a cool sports story...

Luke Combs grew up in North Carolina as a Panthers fan, so after Hurricane Helene, he organized a charity concert at Bank of America Stadium to raise money.

But rather than charging Combs the standard rate, Panthers owner David Tepper donated everything.

Tepper let Combs use the venue for free. He didn't keep any of the parking, merchandise, food, or beer money. He also paid the salaries of all the employees who worked the event and even covered 100% of the tax bill.

The result?

It was the largest concert in stadium history, with over 82,000 people showing up to donate $25 million.

And since Tepper paid for everything, every single dollar that was raised went to hurricane victims.

That's incredible 👏

STRANGE BUT TRUE: After Donald Trump played "Ave Maria" at a campaign rally In Pennsylvania, composer Franz Schubert rose from the grave to tell him to cut it the fuck out.

North Carolina’s unprecedented response to Hurricane Helene is still in full force. Thank you to all the state, local and federal responders and volunteers on the ground working to help those impacted by the storm.

Short Films are required to be under 20 minutes or in some cases under 15 minutes

This film is 3 minutes 53 seconds & still won the Oscar

If you don’t watch this film you’re doing yourself an injustice

If you don’t spread this film you’re doing everyone else an injustice

NEW

Bruce Springsteen formally endorses Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in a new video where he calls Donald Trump “the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime.”

“Hi, I'm Bruce Springsteen. Friends, fans, and the press have asked me who I'm supporting in this most important of elections.

And with full knowledge that my opinions are no more or less important than those of any of my fellow citizens, here's my answer: I'm supporting Kamala Harris for President and Tim Waltz for Vice President and opposing Donald Trump and JD Vance.

Here's why.

We are shortly coming upon one of the most consequential elections in our nation's history. Perhaps not since the Civil War has this great country felt as politically, spiritually, and emotionally divided as it does then at this moment.

It doesn't have to be this way.

The common values, the shared stories that make us a great and united nation are waiting to be rediscovered and retold once again.

Now that will take time, hard work, intelligence, faith and women and men with the national good, guiding their hearts.

America's the most powerful nation on earth. Not just because of her overwhelming military strength or economic power, but because of what she stands for, what she means, what she believes in: freedom, social justice, equal opportunity, the right to be and love who you want.

These are the things that make America great.

Donald Trump is the most dangerous candidate for President in my lifetime. His disdain for the sanctity of our constitution, the sanctity of democracy, the sanctity of the rule of law, and the sanctity of the peaceful transfer of power should disqualify him from the office of President ever again.

He doesn't understand the meaning of this country, its history or what it means to be deeply American.

On the other hand, Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz are committed to a vision of this country that respects and includes everyone regardless of class, religion, race, your political point of view or sexual identity, and they want to grow our economy in a way that benefits all, not just the few like me on top. That's the vision of America I’ve been consistently writing about for 55 years now.

Everybody sees things different, and I respect your choice as a fellow citizen, but like you, I've only got one vote, and it's one of the most precious possessions that I have.

That's why come November 5th, I'll be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.”
