Former President Donald Trump to hold campaign rally in Reading, Pennsylvania

Former President Donald Trump was in Pennsylvania on Saturday and isn’t done with the battleground state just yet. Trump will hold a rally in Reading, Pennsylvania, Wednesday evening, his campaign announced Saturday.

The former president will likely criticize the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the southern border and inflation.

“With prices up over 20 percent and real wages down since Kamala Harris took office, Pennsylvanians are struggling to make ends meet,” a news release from the Trump-Vance campaign read in part. “Meanwhile, tens of millions of illegal immigrants have flooded our country on Kamala’s watch, worsening already sky-high rent and real estate costs.”

The rally will be held at the Santander Arena on Penn Street in Reading; doors open to the event at 3 p.m. According to the Trump-Vance campaign, the former president is scheduled to deliver his remarks at 7 p.m.

If re-elected president, Trump said he would secure the country’s borders and protect American workers from unfair competition to make America “safe, wealthy and great again,” according to a news release from the Trump-Vance campaign.

The Harris-Walz Pennsylvania campaign team released a statement regarding the former president’s upcoming visit to Berks County.

“As president, Trump killed over 275,000 jobs in the commonwealth, gave handouts to his ultra-wealthy friends at our expense and tried to rip away our health care,” a statement by Onotse Omoyeni, Pennsylvania Rapid Response director for Harris for President, read in part. “A second term would be even worse: he’ll raise costs by nearly $4,000 and give more handouts to the super-rich and big corporations while trying to cut our Social Security and Medicare.”

On Saturday, Trump returned to Butler, Pennsylvania, for the first time since he was nearly assassinated almost three months ago. During the rally, Trump paid tribute to firefighter Corey Comperatore, who was killed in the July 13 assassination attempt while trying to shield his family from the bullets.

The former president also praised the Secret Service for their protection during the assassination attempt. Billionaire Elon Musk also joined the former president on stage and called the 2024 election, “the most important of our lifetime.”

Pennsylvania man charged in son’s death years after abusing him as infant, police say

An Allentown, Pennsylvania, man was charged in his son’s death after he died from injuries suffered in 2012, more than 10 years later, officials said.

The Bensalem Township Police Department arrested and charged Kyle Hinkle, 38, with criminal homicide in connection with the death of his son, who initially suffered the injuries when he was an infant in 2012. He was also charged with third-degree murder, police said.

Hinkle was charged with abusing his son when he was an infant in 2012, when he lived in Bensalem, Bucks County.

In October 2012, police said Hinke’s 3-month-old infant son was diagnosed with bleeding in the brain and retinal hemorrhages. The 3-month-old was eventually taken to St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children in Philadelphia to be treated, where he was admitted to the intensive care unit. A child protection program doctor said the injuries were caused by “significant force consistent with abusive head trauma.”

Hinkle later admitted to the abuse and said that he shook his son multiple times on Oct. 12, 2012, saying he was unable to stop the child from crying, and he didn’t support the 3-month-old’s head. Hinkle was charged with aggravated assault, endangering the welfare of children and simple assault. He pleaded guilty to all charges and was sentenced to two years in prison, with an additional three years of supervised parole/probation.

In August 2024, Bensalem police said that Pennsylvania State Police told them that Hinkle’s son died at the age of 11 in Westmoreland County. An autopsy revealed his cause of death was due to complications of blunt force trauma in the 2012 case.

Hinkle was taken into custody by police at his workplace in Allentown Monday. He was arraigned and is being held on $2 million bail.

Hundreds of stuffed toys to find home through Holiday Wish Program

Hundreds of stuffed toys to find home through Holiday Wish Program

The state Department of Human Services’ Holiday Wish Program got a boost after the donation of more than 1,000 stuffed toys.

Those stuffed toys are samples of those for sale in Pennsylvania that were deemed safe for children this past year by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry following routine safety inspections.

The samples are accumulated by the department throughout the year and then marked for distribution through the state Department of Human Services’ Holiday Wish Program.

“This annual tradition reminds us of what public service is truly about: protecting people’s safety while spreading hope and joy to families across Pennsylvania,” said Labor and Industry Secretary Nancy A. Walker. “In times that can feel especially heavy, small acts of generosity can make a big difference.”

Under state law, Labor and Industry’s Bureau of Occupational and Industrial Safety must inspect all new stuffed toy samples for contents, choking hazards, and general safety.

Toys that pass inspection get a registration number, which is on every stuffed toy sold in the commonwealth.

Through this process, Labor and Industry accumulates hundreds of toy samples each year. This year, the department delivered a record 1,085 stuffed toys to the Department of Human Services DHS for its Holiday Wish program — a 45 percent increase from last year’s 749 donated.

Of the donated toys, more than 50 are made of recycled materials. Last year, Gov. Josh Shapiro signed an updated Stuffed Toy Manufacturing Act, eliminating a long-standing ban on using recycled materials in stuffed toys sold in the commonwealth.

Started in 1989 by Department of Human Services employees, the Holiday Wish program has grown to include hundreds of employees in various state agencies, allowing the program to reach thousands of individuals in need around Pennsylvania during the holiday season.
