RFK Jr joins Trump on stage in battleground Arizona rally following endorsement
RFK Jr. joins Trump at Arizona campaign rally
Hours after suspending his campaign for president, third-party candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. joins former President Trump during a rally in Glendale on Friday. Earlier in the day, Kennedy endorsed Trump, who is the Republican presidential nominee.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. joined former President Trump on stage at his Friday rally in Glendale, Arizona, hours after the third-party candidate announced he was suspending his presidential campaign and endorsing the Republican nominee.
“We are both in this to do what’s right for the country,” Trump told the large crowd inside the Desert Diamond Arena with RFK Jr. standing beside him, adding that if he wins the presidency, he would establish an independent presidential commission on assassination attempts that would also be tasked with releasing all the remaining documents related to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy, RFK Jr.’s uncle, who was killed in 1963.
“He is a phenomenal person, a phenomenal man who loves the people of this country,” Trump added of RFK Jr.
The former long-shot candidate said he had more than one meeting with Trump starting last month, in which they “talked not about the things that separate us because we don’t agree on everything, but on the values and the issues that bind us together. And one of the issues that he talked about was having safe food and ending the chronic disease epidemic.”

He added of Trump: “Don’t you want a president who’s going to protect America’s freedoms and who is going to protect us against totalitarianism? … Don’t you want a safe environment for your children? Don’t you want to know that the food that you’re feeding them is not filled with chemicals that are going to give them cancer and chronic disease? And don’t you want a president that’s going to make America healthy again?”
Trump added that RFK Jr. “did well in the polls” but the two-party system made it “very tough” for his candidacy.
He also pitched to RFK Jr.’s supporters.
“And all who supported Bobby’s campaign, I very simply ask you to join us in building this coalition,” Trump said. “It’s a beautiful coalition in defense of liberty and safety, prosperity and peace. It’s going to be an incredible coalition, and the relationship has been so good for so long. I have no doubt it’s going to work and work well, but we have to win. We have to take our country away from these people that are going to destroy our country.”
Trump and RFK Jr. rallied a capacity crowd in the same arena where Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Gov. Tim Walz held a rally earlier this month.

RFK Jr. endorsed Trump earlier Friday, saying that he planned to stay off the ballot in red and blue states, so people could vote for him there, but remove his name from battleground states.
“Three causes drove me to enter this race in the first place. And these are the principal causes that persuaded me to leave the Democratic Party and run as an independent and now to throw my support at President Trump,” RFK said. “The causes were free speech, war in Ukraine and the war on our children.”
Kennedy said that the Democratic National Committee “waged continued legal war” on both Trump and himself while also accusing the DNC of running a “sham primary” that prevented a serious primary challenge to President Biden before he secured the Democratic nomination and dropped out in July, endorsing Harris.
TRUMP THANKS RFK JR FOR ENDORSEMENT AFTER THIRD-PARTY CANDIDATE SUSPENDS HIS CAMPAIGN: ‘THAT’S BIG’
Harris’ campaign reached out to RFK Jr. supporters in a statement to Fox News on Friday.
“For any American out there who is tired of Donald Trump and looking for a new way forward, ours is a campaign for you. In order to deliver for working people and those who feel left behind, we need a leader who will fight for you, not just for themselves, and bring us together, not tear us apart. Vice President Harris wants to earn your support. Even if we do not agree on every issue, Kamala Harris knows there is more that unites us than divides us: respect for our rights, public safety, protecting our freedoms, and opportunity for all.”

Two brothers remain hospitalized in the ICU after a shooter opened fire on a busy street in Riverside County.
The incident happened on Aug. 14 as Ivan Pineda and Luis Pineda were walking on the 1000 block of West Florida Avenue in Hemet.
Around 3:30 p.m., the brothers and the suspect appeared to have an angry exchange of words. The suspect, who was riding a bicycle, makes a U-turn and pulls up alongside the brothers.
The suspect reaches into his pants pocket, pulls out a gun and fires two shots at one of the brothers. The second brother runs over and tackles the gunman as another three shots are fired out.
The two men get into a fistfight in the middle of the street, blocking the roadway for oncoming vehicles. Eventually, the gunman wrestles free from the victim’s grip and runs away from the scene.

Police arrived shortly after and transported the victims to a local hospital. Both brothers are hospitalized in the ICU where Ivan remains in critical condition and Luis remains in stable condition.
The victims’ sister, Lucia Pineda, said her brothers were on their way to work when the violence unfolded.
Upon their release from the hospital, Lucia said both men will be required to stay at an assisted living facility for physical therapy until they fully recover.
“We’re a very close family so when something like this happens, it’s very hard on all of us,” Lucia said. “They’re just normal, regular people who were just trying to make some money.”
Lucia said she is heartbroken that her brothers were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
A GoFundMe page to help the Pineda family with hospital bills and treatment costs can be found here.
The suspect remains at large as police work to track down his identity.
Anyone with information on the case can call the Hemet Police Department at 951-765-2400.
A bearded, venomous creature has emerged on the beaches of Corpus Christi.
Prickly fireworms, also called bristle worms, washed up along the Texas Gulf Coast and beachgoers are on high alert.
The National Park Services (NPS) described the bristles as tiny, needle-like spikes, each one filled with venom, according to FOX Weather.
‘NO NEED TO BE AFRAID’ OF ‘VENOMOUS FLYING SPIDERS,’ EXPERT SAYS
“WARNING!!! Your worst nightmares are washing up right now in the form of fireworms!” the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies posted on Facebook.
“We’ve found a few of these marine polychaetes, sometimes called bristle worms, washing up over the past couple of days on large logs. The logs these were found on had gooseneck barnacles all over them, which might have been what the worms were feeding on.”

The nightmarish name for the fireworm comes from the pain inflicted when the tiny spikes are touched — a fiery pain described as lasting hours.
The bristles are filled with a mixture of neurotoxins to be used against predators.
ODD-LOOKING FISH, LARGEST OF ITS KIND, WASHES UP ON BEACH, STUMPS EXPERTS: ‘REMARKABLE’
“Your skin can feel sensitive in the sting site for weeks depending on where it stung you,” the institute continued on its Facebook post.
“The white bristles coming off each segment of the worm are … filled with neurotoxin and they break off when you touch them.”
If you find yourself pricked by one of the poisonous spikes on a fireworm, the NPS recommends the spike be removed with the use of adhesive tape, noted FOX Weather.
The Harte Research Institute said these gnarly creatures can be found in the Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.

The fireworm feeds on a variety of corals, anemones and small crustaceans, such as gooseneck barnacles.
“Would hate to step on one of these. Thank you for continuing to protect us with these important segments!” one Facebook user commented.

“I could have gone my whole life without knowing these things exist,” another user wrote.
The Harte Research Institute is focused on the advancement of sustainability and conservation of the Gulf of Mexico since its establishment in 2001.

A Los Angeles County man was baking cookies in the early hours of Saturday morning when he was greeted by an unexpected guest.
According to authorities, a man called police just after 2 a.m. to report that a bear was in the kitchen of his Claremont home. He saw the bear when he went to go check on some cookies that were in the oven.
The bear, police said, entered the home through a screen door. It later exited through another screen door and was lingering in some of the neighborhood’s backyards when officers arrived.
Neither the bear or the resident were harmed during the encounter. It’s not clear if the man offered the bear any of his delicious cookies.
