POWERFUL: #Eagles QB Jalen Hurts’ mother shared an emotional message of faith following his blood clot diagnosis that will sideline him for the rest of the season.

“Prayers work. Keep praying. Keep praising God. Keep the faith. Keep believing.”

Wow ❤️🙏

🚨 EMERGENCY PRAYER REQUEST for MATTHEW DONOVAN: Matthew, a college quarterback, is fighting for his life after suffering a devastating brain injury during a football game on Saturday.

Matthew required more than two hours of emergency surgery to remove portions of his skull and relieve dangerous pressure on his brain.

Mayville State Comet Athletics says Matthew suffered the head injury during the third quarter against Simpson University and was Life Flighted to Fargo, ND.

He is in a medically induced coma in intensive care.

But Sunday morning brought the kind of small victory his family desperately needed.

Matthew’s eyes reacted normally to light. Pray for healing in Matthew’s brain, for the pressure to remain controlled, for his medical team and for the family surrounding his ICU bed waiting for the next small victory. 🙏

An 11-year-old girl was kidnapped while walking home from her school bus and forced into the back seat of a blue Honda.

Hours later, Amanda Disley and Benny Correa were driving with their five children when they looked over and realized that exact car was right beside them.

Amanda called 911 while Benny followed the Honda through traffic as police tried to close in.

The driver started speeding through red lights and side streets, but Benny stayed with him while Amanda kept updating dispatch with their location.

Eventually, officers boxed the Honda in and found Charlotte inside.

She was pulled from the car alive and reunited with her family because Amanda and Benny refused to lose sight of the car carrying her.

The driver, 24-year-old Miguel Rodriguez, was arrested and charged with kidnapping, assault with a dangerous weapon and witness intimidation.

Amanda and Benny didn’t know Charlotte. They just knew a little girl needed help, and they stayed with that car until she got it. 💙

MISSING HOWARD UNIVERSITY STUDENT FOUND SAFE: Missing Howard University student Esube “Izzy” Wondwossen has been located safely and is in good health according to police. #PGPD

A bank won’t approve a $1,000,000 mortgage for someone making $100k a year.

A dealership won’t finance a $75,000 car for someone earning $35k.

But an 18 year old can take on $250,000 in student debt for a degree that leads to a $40,000 salary.

No credit check. No income verification. No reality check.

We let kids who can’t rent a car make six figure financial commitments that can follow them for decades.

Then we ask why so many young adults struggle to get ahead.

The bank protects its money.

The dealership protects its money.

The university gets paid.

And the student gets the debt.

My neighbor finished paying off her house in 2024.

She bought it in 1994 for $78,000. Thirty years of payments at $593 a month.

She's 74 now. Social Security pays her $1,910 a month. That's $22,920 a year.

The place two doors down sold for $615,000 last spring, so the county reassessed hers to match.

Her tax bill this year: $8,100. That's $675 a month.

She paid $593 a month to buy the house.

She pays $675 a month to keep it.

Thirty years of payments ended and the bill went up.

The deed says she owns it. The county bills her like she's renting.

It has been revealed that the City of Asheville, NC, will reportedly rebuild only 8 houses using the $225 million grant it received from the Trump administration following Hurricane Helene.

That's correct…..Eight.…out of 11,488 damaged homes.

The city allocated only $3 million for home repairs.

Meanwhile, $14.9 million was allocated for “administration.”

That means nearly five times more was allocated for administration than for repairing homes for people affected by the disaster.

And that's not the worst of it….

More than 100 approved families are reportedly currently on a waitlist for assistance that they may never receive.

After receiving the $225 million federal grant, Asheville residents deserve answers about exactly where the money is going — and how much is actually reaching families whose homes were damaged or destroyed. @asheville @AvlWatchdog H/T Deep Leaks

🚨 They didn’t come to shop.

A couple walked into Black Friday Deals in Morrow, Georgia on Saturday, Sept 5th — and waited for a shopper to turn her back.

One unguarded second. They snatched her entire purse off the cart. Car keys. House keys. Cash. Credit cards. Then they took off.

The store desperately needs this couple identified.

X family — if you know this pair, speak up.
Things need to change in our society. Let’s give this woman the justice she deserves. 👜

Michael Coats Jr. was good at football as a kid. Everyone around Louisville, Mississippi, knew the little running back tearing up Pop Warner games.

Then in ninth grade, he quit. Football, and every other sport.

"I just didn't have a drive for it," Coats said. "I can't tell you why. I just honestly didn't have a drive for it."

He never played a single down of high school football.

Instead of practice, he worked the 5 PM to 1 AM shift at an arcade, selling tokens. He graduated high school and kept doing exactly that.

At some point, standing behind that counter, something clicked.

"I realized that that wasn't something I wanted to do with my life."

Here's the part that sounds made up.

Coats was scrolling Facebook when he saw an advertisement for open tryouts at East Central Community College, a JUCO program in Mississippi. His friends who played college ball would come home in the summer and run 7-on-7 with him, and he'd kept up with all of them.

So he went to the tryout. Off a Facebook flyer. Having not played organized football since he was 14.

He made the team.

Three years at JUCO. Then two seasons at Nevada. Then a transfer to West Virginia for his final year, where he started all 12 games and became one of the top cover corners in the Big 12, giving up just 17 catches and one touchdown all season.

At his Pro Day, the 5-foot-9 corner ran a 4.39 forty, faster than everybody else there. He was never invited to the NFL Combine. That time would have finished third among all cornerbacks who were.

He went undrafted in April. The Browns signed him as a free agent anyway.

Today, Cleveland put him on their 53 man roster.

Coats has thought about the years he stepped away, and he doesn't regret them.

"I'm a big believer in God, and it was a journey, and maybe it wasn't meant for me to play then. Maybe that time that I worked hard and stepped away gave me an advantage because I'm still fresh right now, not banged up knees and bruises. Everything happened for a reason."

A kid who quit the game at 14, spent his nights in an arcade, and found his way back through a Facebook ad is now in the NFL.
