| President Trump Reportedly To Work Behind The Counter At McDonald’s During Campa |
| Posted on Thursday, October 17 @ 00:00:10 PDT (104 reads) | |

President trump is expected to make a pit stop at mcdonald’s during his visit to pennsylvania this weekend and “work the fry cooker.”
according to reports, trump intends to go behind the counter at the fast food chain on sunday at an undisclosed location.
the visit is a dig at kamala harris, who claimed she worked at mcdonald’s while in college.

— benny johnson (@bennyjohnson) october 15, 2024
the philadelphia inquirer reports:
the former president will make the stop at a mcdonald’s in the philadelphia area, the source said, but the exact location is still unclear. Trump is also scheduled to attend the steelers-jets game in pittsburgh on sunday, cbs news station kdka reported.
trump has continuously claimed that harris never worked at the fast-food chain, without evidence. He told a campaign crowd in indiana, pennsylvania last month that he wanted to work as a fry cook to “see how it is.” Cnn first reported tuesday that trump would make good on that promise this weekend.
harris, for her part, continues to use her middle-class upbringing and time working at mcdonald’s in advertisements and stump speeches as a contrast with trump, who had his early career started at his father’s real estate company before growing to the billionaire he is today.
both candidates, their running mates, and campaign surrogates are making a flurry of appearances in pennsylvania the final three weeks until election day. They both see the state as critical and are investing hundreds of millions of dollars to win it.

from the new york post :
trump, who is a fan of mcdonald’s grub, also indicated he would stop by a mcdonald’s in mid-october and add cook to his resume.
“i think i’m going to a mcdonald’s in two weeks actually and i’m gonna work the french fries because i will have worked longer and harder at mcdonald’s than she did if i do that even for a half-hour,” trump, 78, said to cheers.
harris, 59, has said repeatedly over the years that she worked for mickey d’s while getting her undergraduate degree in the 1980s, including in a campaign ad released in august and in an interview with msnbc in september.
but there is no firm evidence, like an employment record or photo, to verify that claim, fact checker snopes has said.

| Vols Leader’s Inspiring Journey Takes Another Turn |
| Posted on Thursday, October 17 @ 00:00:10 PDT (0 reads) | |
|
|
In the tough, gritty world of college football, every team faces challenges, and tennessee is no stranger to that reality. For the second straight year, the vols are grappling with the loss of a key player due to a season-ending injury.
last season, it was wide receiver bru mccoy who took a heavy hit. This year, linebacker keenan pili is sidelined with a knee injury that occurred in the early moments of tennessee’s overtime victory over florida.
keenan pili isn’t just a name on the roster. He’s a seventh-year senior, a starting middle linebacker, and a respected captain for the vols.
his influence reaches beyond the field, embodying the heart and soul of this tennessee team. While his injury was a gut punch to players and coaches alike, nobody is questioning pili’s continued impact on the team from the sidelines.
after all, that’s just who he is.
pili’s college football journey began at byu in 2016, and it has been a tale of perseverance and leadership. Unfortunately, his time on the field ended abruptly against florida as he crumpled to the turf clutching his knee, an eerily familiar scene for someone who knows all too well the pain of an acl tear. It happened to pili before, back in 2021, and his stint with tennessee was similarly snake-bitten last season with a triceps injury.
despite these setbacks, pili’s involvement with the team remained steadfast. Traveling to away games and being a prominent presence in the anderson training center, pili was and continues to be a mentor for the young linebackers who step up in his absence. Tennessee has every confidence he will continue that role this season.
defensive lineman bryson eason reflected on pili’s influence after a recent practice, highlighting the void left by his on-field absence and the energy pili infuses into the team. Eason expressed faith that even from the sidelines, pili would continue to support, guide, and inspire his teammates.
pili’s leadership extends beyond the field and into the classroom, with accomplishments like completing his master’s degree in agricultural leadership, education, and communication. His standout character and contributions aren’t limited to tackles and quarterback hurries, though he had 29 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, and three quarterback hurries this season. His role in handling in-helmet communication with defensive coordinator tim banks highlights his importance in both action and strategy.
head coach josh heupel clearly values pili as more than just a player, commending his leadership and pristine representation of the tennessee spirit. Though heartbroken for pili’s unfortunate injury, heupel knows pili’s contributions to the team culture are far from over.
while pili faces surgery and recovery, the path to the nfl may become intricate given his age and injury history. Yet, his talent and character suggest his football journey hasn’t reached its conclusion. Defensive coordinator tim banks emphasized the rare combination of athletic prowess and personal integrity that pili embodies, noting that his absence is a profound loss for the vols.
keenan’s college career, marked by over 200 tackles, tells a story of tenacity and talent. During his time at byu, he notched some impressive stats while helping guide the team to success. His transition to tennessee was seen as a bridging move to mentor emerging talent and steady the linebacker corps.
players like omari thomas and cooper mays continue to laud pili’s influence, appreciative of his unwavering guidance and the work ethic he exemplifies. The young linebackers like elijah herring, kalib perry, arion carter, jeremiah telander, and jalen smith will now have the opportunity to step up, drawing from the lessons pili imparted.
as they prepare to face their storied rivals in the third saturday in october matchup against alabama, the vols will undeniably feel pili’s absence. But they take with them the leadership, the spirit, and the drive that keenan pili instilled in the program. He’s more than a player; he’s a pillar—and his influence will be felt far beyond the sidelines at neyland stadium. |

| James Hong Told Me About His First Voiceover Role In 1956’s Godzilla And Wow, We |

James hong told me about his first voiceover role in 1956’s godzilla and wow, we should really talk more about the actor’s career [voices](https://www.Cinemablend.Com/voices) hes really been everything everywhere all at once... And back. Considering james hong’s hundreds of acting credits across his 70-year career, there’s a very high chance you’ve experienced the 95-year-old’s talent. Yet, i don’t feel like we talk about the prolific character actor’s career enough. That became abundantly clear to me after speaking to hong about his voiceover experiences as he reprises his role in the animated gremlins series. Cinemablend spoke to james hong and ming-na wen about returning for the second season of the gremlins series, which is available to stream with a [max subscription](https://www.Cinemablend.Com/television/2570432/subscribing-to-hbo-max-what-to-know-about-the-price-options-and-what-the-streaming-service-offers).

Here’s what james hong shared about his history in the vocal booth: talk about an incredible debut in voiceover acting! James hong was an english voice in the first english-language godzilla movie, and it sounds like he remembers it like it was yesterday. The actor has an incredible hollywood career that began after he served in the minnesota army national guard as a young man. He was asked to be in charge of the camp’s live shows instead of being deployed to korea. After the war, hong moved to los angeles where he split his time between being a road engineer and acting in his time off. It wasn’t long before he became part of 1956s godzilla, king of the monsters! As james hong recalled, voiceover acting was a lot more casual at the time. In his words: there’s a lot to [celebrate about james hong’s career](https://www.Cinemablend.Com/movies/from-lo-pan-to-mr-ping-a-celebration-of-james-hongs-highly-unique-career), between his role as mr.

It’s so interesting to hear about how his first voiceover role shook out, and how he’s seen the industry change in recent years. As he continued: hollywood has changed a lot since james hong got his start back in the 1950s, but as he spoke to, asian stories are getting more of a spotlight than ever. From the [first asian lead on the bachelorette](https://www.Cinemablend.Com/television/the-bachelorette-jenn-tran-thoughts-lack-of-asian-representation-how-get-beter) earlier this year to the [commercial success of a movie like crazy rich asians](https://www.Cinemablend.Com/movies/jon-m-chu-reflects-on-gold-house-support-from-henry-golding-and-the-success-of-crazy-rich-asians), hong has seen some major growth from his early days in hollywood. In the interview, he also said he plans to speak further on his life through a memoir. Also, gremlins stars a predominantly asian cast that [includes george takei as the main villain](https://www.Cinemablend.Com/interviews/gremlins-producers-talk-george-takei-season-2-main-villain--awesome-homage-to-gremlins-2) and the talents of [simu liu](https://www.Cinemablend.Com/tag/simu-liu), jimmy o.

So, former president barack obama tells the brothers to vote for vice president kamala harris because shes a black woman — and women have been getting our backs this entire time. Obama said: my understanding, based on reports im getting from campaigns and communities, is that we have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when i was running. (This lack of enthusiasm) seems to be more pronounced with the brothers. He also said, (black) women in our lives have been getting our backs this entire time. Presumably, this does not apply to his devoted. Is this how obama talks to the brothers down at the barbershop in marthas vineyard? Of course, he wouldnt implore the brothers to vote for, say, republican condoleezza rice were she the gop presidential nominee. If people voted based on their race, obama could never have been elected state senator, u.S. Senator or president. Obama also told the brothers to vote for harris because you have somebody who grew up like you. This is quite a statement from someone who grew up unlike anyone most voters know. Obama was born in hawaii. His mom obtained a phd in anthropology and his father an economics degree from harvard. Obamas mom remarried an oil company executive, and barack lived in indonesia for a few years, where he attended a private school set up by his stepfathers oil company for the children of its executives. Obamas mom sent him back to hawaii because she wanted her son to get an even better education. There he lived with his white maternal grandparents. His grandmother became a bank executive, and his grandfather was a successful salesman. In hawaii, obama attended the prestigious punahou prep school where the tuition for the 2023-24 school year is $30,480, not including student activity fees. He did his first two years of college at an elite school in los angeles before getting his undergraduate degree from columbia and his law degree from harvard. If, according to obama, people should vote for those who grew up like you, why should the brothers — and for that matter most anyone else — have voted for obama given how he grew up? So much for content of character and not color of skin. Obama wants jim crow 2.0. Beyond this, consider how blacks fared under preacher obama. As i wrote in 2015: in 2009, when obama took office, the black poverty rate was 25.8 percent. As of 2014, according to pew research center, the black poverty rate was 27.2 percent. Cnnmoney says, minority households median income fell 9 percent between 2010 and 2013, compared to a drop of only 1 percent for whites. The financial times (in october 2014) wrote: since 2009, median non-white household income has dropped by almost a 10th to $33,000 a year, according to the u.S. Federal reserves survey of consumer finances. What bout net worth and the black-white wealth gap? The financial times said: the median non-white family today has a net worth of just $18,100 — almost a fifth lower than it was when mr. Obama took office. White median wealth, on the other hand, has inched up by 1 percent to $142,000. ... Both in relative and absolute terms, blacks are doing worse under mr. Obama. From 2010 to 2013, according to the federal reserve, white household median wealth increased a modest 2.4 percent, while hispanic families wealth declined 14 percent, to $13,700. But blacks net worth fell from $16,600 to $11,000. This is an astonishing three-year drop of 34 percent. ... The black/white wealth-gap has reached a 25-year high. What about unemployment? By 2014, the black labor force participation rate — the percentage of blacks working or seeking work — stood at the lowest since these numbers have been recorded. As to home ownership? The harvard universitys joint center for housing studies wrote, homeownership rates have fallen six percentage points among black households — double that among white households. Given obamas dismal economic record, why should the brothers listen to a race card hustler who tells them to vote on race and gender?

image via bravo wendy osefo joined the real housewives of potomac in 2020 as one of the most celebrated housewives to join the reality franchise . An award-winning researcher, political commentator and professor at johns hopkins university, dr. Wendy osefo, phd, was the first black woman to earn a phd in public affairs and community development from rutgers university-camden. Wendys hard work paid off in dividends, earning her several positions in academia and politics, but made her stick out like a sore thumb against her more glamorous cast members. Wendy responded to being a fish out of water, by throwing her educational accolades around in an attempt to intimidate the others, and possibly overcompensate for feeling out of place with the other ladies.
away from the other women, wendy visibly struggled to live up to her mothers expectations as a political correspondent and professor. On occasion, she shared being overwhelmed with her husband, eddie osefo , but she kept a polished exterior with the other women, wanting them to see her best side at all times. Whether it was the response from her cast mates or the public or unhappiness within, audiences saw a visible change in wendy after her first season. Undergoing cosmetic surgery was the first of many changes as wendy reappeared with a fabulous boob job along with a few nips and tucks to accommodate her new bust line. Eager for feedback on her new look, wendys wardrobe went through a dramatic change to show off her new curves. In several scenes, the other ladies were noticeably shocked at wendys wardrobe choices, making tongue-in-cheek comments during confessionals. Instead of showing up dressed like a news anchor or professor, wendys wardrobe became much more youthful and body conscious. There were subtle changes to wendys persona with the other ladies as well.
her conversation became less formal, and it was clear to fans wendy was vying for acceptance with the same group of women she initially deemed beneath her. Her interactions with the ladies went from less formal to flirtatious and simple, and it wasnt long before audiences were accusing wendy of trying to dumb down her intelligence to appear cool.
wendy has always seemed out of place with the other ladies of rhop

At the end of season 7, wendy had a suggestive flirtatious moment with mia thornton , convincing audiences that she was open to taking a dip in andy cohens proverbial lady pond.

while this behavior would not register a raised eyebrow from ashley darby or mia, it was in direct contrast to the dr. Wendy osefo audiences met in 2020, and the wendy that showed up on camera when her mother, iyom susan okuzu was around. Ironically, wendys insecurities came to a head when rhop producers introduced another nigerian intellectual beauty to the show in nneka ihim . Wendys overt dislike for nneka and refusal to embrace her without a substantial reason, exposed her lack of self-confidence.
wendy felt the need to compete with nneka, karen and gizelle
image via bravo wendys relationship with her mother was a point of anxiety for her as she acknowledged her mothers cultural expectations were rooted in academic accomplishments and success. Although wendy was quick to voice her pedigree and multiple accolades, most of the motivation behind it seemed connected to her mothers wishes and not her own. In the season 9 premiere, wendy announces shes given up her professorship to focus on other things . Her husband asks her what she is going to tell her mother, and she doesnt have an immediate answer, but remains resigned to moving in another direction.
related gizelle bryant will shine on rhop without robyn dixon without her main ally, gizelle bryant is forced to stand on her own in season 9 of the real housewives of potomac.
during conversations with the other women, wendy seems much more interested in becoming friends with gizelle , her former arch nemesis, and continues catering to mias antics. This behavior wouldve been appalling to the women introduced to rhop fans in season five, who was extremely focused on her career and family. Season 9 wendy is playful and coy but, ironically, still seems very displaced.

All the women are given hats to showcase their personalities. Wendy accepts her fedora and bursts into a rap, gesturing towards her surgically enhanced chest , my name is wendy, and im the best, all the girls want to feel my breasts, she raps. It was a flop for her co-stars.
wendys outburst seems awkward and garners strange looks from her cast mates, but its clear shes caught up at the moment, trying to fit in . In the next episode, she has a long-awaited sit down with gizelle, but instead of checking her for all of her snide comments, wendy tucks her head and seems eager to befriend the shadiest ex-wife in potomac.
wendys best-selling book details her conflicting relationship with her mother
images from bravo tv in season 7, cameras followed wendy on a trip to the hospital after she almost passed out from being overworked and full of anxiety. Eddie tried to get his wife to slow down, but wendy shook off the hospital visit and was right back to being super mom, super wife, super professor, and hot girl in training. Wendys internal struggle against the woman she was raised to be and the woman she wants desperately to show up as on reality tv are in direct conflict. Instead of standing on her accomplishments the way she did upon joining the show in season five, wendy appears determined to tear down what she worked so hard to build and to reconstruct a new version of herself that is much more aligned with the typical reality star.
today, the 2018 black women in media honoree with four advanced degrees, is more excited about her putting on a dress that shows every single one of her enhanced curves than being an advocate for education and philanthropy. For rhop audiences, wendys dramatic transformation is reminiscent of a young woman trying to gain independence from the stronghold of her mothers expectations and constraints. Wendys best-selling book, titled tears of my mother: the legacy of my nigerian upbringing, sheds light on her mothers fierce determination to build a successful life for her family after transplanting from her native nigeria to america. The book offers a glimpse into wendys obligatory responsibility to make her mothers struggle worthwhile by offering up her unquestionable academic and social success.
the decision to join rhop was arguably wendys attempt to enter another world and find herself. As a reality star, in a popular housewives franchise, celebrity and fame trump intellect, and the ability to look snatched supersedes winning a distinguished alumni award. Wendy is struggling to redefine herself in real time in front of rhop fans and among an often critical cast. Season 9 promises to be a turning point for several cast members, including wendy. The confrontation with her mothers disapproval of abandoning her professorship is looming ahead and dancing with her former enemy could prove a grave mistake. Wendys background suggests shell always have a place to fall if her two wick candles burn out, and the novelty of flaunting her surgical enhancements wears thin. She might suffer a bit of bad press along the way , but a girl with as much substance as wendy is attempting to hide, will inevitably find a soft place to land.

| Novi doctor held 2 highest positions for family medicine in Navy Reserve |

Ron kuzdak served in the u.S. Navy reserve for 34 years and opened his medical practice in novi a year ago.

novi — the need for college funding resulted in one local doctor joining the u.S. Navy reserve, but it was the love for country that he developed while serving that caused him to stay in the reserve for 34 years, during which time he was deployed in two wars, operation desert storm and operation iraqi freedom, and he held two of the highest offices that a family medical physician can hold in the reserve.
capt. Ron kuzdak grew up in the castle rouge neighborhood of detroit and said that he knew from an early age that he wanted to be a doctor. He said that he has always been interested in math and science and excelled in those subjects to the point where people would say, “wow, you’re going to be a doctor one day.” He said the more they said that, the more it became ingrained in his head that he wanted to go into medicine.
so, after graduating from detroit catholic central high school in 1987, he went on to michigan state university but was struggling to pay for his education, as although he had good grades, he was not offered a lot of financial aid. He said that a friend of his had joined the reserve and encouraged him to do so as well. He did so and discovered that they offered a full-ride scholarship to medical school. So, at the suggestion of his recruiter, kuzdak joined the navy reserve and went to hospital corpsman school in 1988.
“turned out to be, obviously, a very good thing for me because it was a very interesting experience to feel what the military was like, to serve our country and have all that happen to me,” kuzdak said. “I enjoyed my training so much i came back to school and i kind of knew what i wanted. I knew that i was doing the right thing. I wasn’t just saying i was going to be a doctor because someone told me i was smart. It was applied application and real-life experience.”
kuzdak took a longer path to completing his undergraduate degree, as he took about a year and a half off from school to complete boot camp and hospital corpsman school and was also called upon to serve in desert storm.
he served for three months on the usns comfort hospital ship, which was deployed to bahrain, from january to april of 1990.
he said his college experience was a lot different than most young adults; when he wasn’t drilling with the reserves, he was working one of two jobs or participating in the msu equestrian team.
“it was not the relaxed college life that a lot of people experience. I was kind of a hard worker from the get-go,” he said.
during his senior year of college, 1992-1993, kuzdak found out that he had been admitted into the medical school program and was given a full-ride scholarship from the u.S. Navy. Upon accepting the scholarship, kuzdak became a commissioned officer. This meant he no longer had to do two weeks of active duty in the reserve while he completed his education.
he went on to complete his residency at botsford hospital in farmington. Shortly after completing his residency, kuzdak was deployed to serve in operation iraqi freedom. There he helped build and was stationed in one of the first tent hospitals that the military set up in northern kuwait for six months.
“it was very austere,” kuzdak said. “Basically, we were the only working hospital in kuwait when the war broke out, so all the casualties came to me — to our hospital — so it was quite an experience.”
after the war, kuzdak chose to continue with the reserve. From 2012 to 2016, he was the officer in charge for the navy reserve training center, detroit, at selfridge air national guard base. In 2013, he was named the officer of the year for the u.S. Navy reserve medical corps. He was also the first family medicine reservist to be selected to serve at guantanamo bay in cuba.
during his lengthy career he held the two highest family medicine positions in the reserve — family medicine specialty leader from 2013 to 2017 and family medicine executive from 2018 until he retired from the military in 2022. Both positions are held for two years, but he was asked each time to serve an additional term.
despite his high-ranking positions, kuzdak remains very humble about his military career. He said he was motivated by the people whom he met along the way.
“the highlight for me is i think the relationships that i made with patients and colleagues. I have just lifelong friends and memories,” he said.
kuzdak is thought of fondly by both his former superior officers as well as those who served under his leadership.
lt. Cmdr. Justin peters, an active reservist and a medical service officer at the veterans affairs hospital in detroit, said that kuzdak was one of the “better leaders” that he has ever worked with and served under. He said he believed that was because he can find a way to lighten the mood of some otherwise serious situations with his humorous outlook.
“he was really able to kind of help us relax a little bit and do some problem-solving together. Honestly, i think he was just a good guy. He was just easy to talk to,” peters said.
“he is one of the best people i’ve ever met and really an inspiration for all the other enlisted members who had aspirations to either go to nursing school or medical school,” said angelo vivio, a hospital corpsman who served under kuzdak for eight years at selfridge. “I mean, he did it. He did what every corpsman or medical assistant aspires to do. He started out with very humble beginnings as a e1 or e2 and was promoted all the way through the ranks and went to medical school. Not that it is everyone’s inspiration to go that route, but that is by far — if you want to talk about a success story, that’s ron.”
vivio retired after 20 years in the military in may, and kuzdak donned a uniform once more to come out of retirement briefly and preside over vivio’s retirement ceremony. He said kuzdak had a big impact on his career and that he was a very good leader who looked out for the unit.
“he set me ashore for the final time,” said vivio. “That was a big deal. That meant a lot to me, because a lot of times, retirees, they don’t forget about their service, but they put it behind them and they move on, and it was an honor that he did that for me. It really meant a lot and he has had a big impact on me as well.”
capt. Linda jacobson, a nurse corps officer, was kuzdak’s superior officer and selected kuzdak to fill in as the senior medical officer for the midwest. She said she selected kuzdak because she knew him to be extremely reliable, funny, outgoing and a good team player.
“if you were working on anything like a team project, ron just made it better,” she said. “He had good ideas. He is a good communicator.”
jacobson said kuzdak was a really good senior medical executive because he was in charge of all the senior medical corps officers in terms of being a mentor and had to oversee their performance reviews. She said he was very engaging and would not hesitate to pick up the phone and call someone.
“of all the people that are in the navy reserves, the medical people struggle sometimes because they are balancing a busy medical practice, crazy hours and sometimes it’s a struggle to maintain your professional life and have enough hours in the day to participate in the navy reserves,” said jacobson. “So ron was really good at reaching out and providing guidance, potential solutions.”
kuzdak left the military to focus on his family and to practice medicine the way he wanted to practice it. He lives in milford with his wife, nancy, and sons mitchell, 17, and noah, 16. He also has two prized horses, cup a joe and dakota. Approximately a year ago, he opened his practice, gem health and wellness, 25500 meadowbrook road, suite 260, in novi, which is patient centered and focused.
“i think sometimes people feel like a cog in the wheel when they go to different organizations that offer health care, and this one is definitely more personalized,” said jacobson. “You are not one of many, many thousands of people who are coming to an office.”
after being open nearly a year, kuzdak will celebrate being able to practice medicine his way with a ribbon-cutting ceremony from 4 to 7 p.M. Oct. 18. The event will include a performance by dave gondoly, lead singer and guitarist for the killer flamingos. |
