LOADING ERROR LOADINGPresident Donald Trump threw a tantrum over Democratic congressional candidate Aftyn Behn in a social media post, urging voters to back the Republican contender, Matt Van Epps, in Tuesday’s special House election. “I am asking all America First Patriots in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District, who haven’t voted yet, to please GET OUT AND VOTE on Election Day, Tuesday, December 2nd, for a phenomenal Candidate, Matt Van Epps,” Trump wrote Sunday on Truth Social. The president then scolded the “Radical Left Democrats” for “spending a fortune to beat” Van Epps, whom he called “one of the best Candidates we’ve ever had.”Advertisement“You can win this Election for Matt,” he added. Behn’s campaign manager Kate Briefs also addressed the backlash over the candidate’s comments in a statement to WZTV Fox 17 Nashville. Briefs said “Republicans are panicking” due to their “last-ditch attempt” of “distracting from the fact that Washington Republicans and Matt Van Epps are raising costs on Tennessee families and ripping away their health care.”Advertisement

White House Throws Admiral Under The Bus In Killing Of Alleged Drug Boat Survivors
LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON – The White House on Monday shifted the blame for killing the survivors of a U.S. military strike on an alleged drug smuggling boat from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and onto the commanding admiral. Killing survivors of a destroyed vessel is literally an example of a war crime in the U.S. Department of Defense Law of War Manual. Admiral Bradley worked well within his authority and the law, directing the engagement to ensure the boat was destroyed and the threat to the United States of America was eliminated,” she said. Leavitt referred further questions to the “Department of War,” Trump’s nickname for the Pentagon. Trump has further claimed that the boats and their crews had been en route to the United States at the time of the attacks.

AdvertisementUrgent care doctors say that the absolute worst thing you can do at an urgent care is to be there when you have a real emergency. If you do choose to go the urgent care route, doctors note that there are a few issues you should try to avoid. Along with not going to an urgent care when you are having a true health emergency, one of the worst things you can do is not get follow-up care if your urgent care physician has instructed you to, according to Duchynski. They should either return to urgent care or see their primary care provider, Duchynski said. Bower is still haunted by the memory of a young father he treated years ago ― at his practice, not at urgent care ― for influenza.
