Presidential debate turns into a series of personal attacks

President Trump refused to let Democratic nominee Joe Biden get a word in during the first presidential debate, according to the New York Times.

The president’s aggressive stance was an obvious ploy to improve his poll numbers, which have been trailing since April. While Biden attempted to ignore Trump’s interjections, he also launched his own series of personal attacks.

Throughout the debate, moderator Chris Wallace struggled to keep the candidates on topic.

The presidential debate kicks off the final month before voters head to the polls.

Texas’ pandemic electricity relief program ends

The electricity relief program, which began for Texans in spring, is coming to a close tomorrow, according to Fox.

The program has helped 600,000 Texas residents who were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic to pay their electricity bill.

This program did not serve as a payment forgiveness plan. Rather, it was intended as payment deferment to buy customers time during the hot summer months.

Electricity retailers are required to work with people who want to be enrolled in a payment plan moving forward. Every company must not ask for more than 50% of the outstanding payment.

Consumers must take steps and contact their provider to be enrolled in a payment plan.

A California man is arrested after allegedly driving into a peaceful protest

Police arrested Jong Ren Hung in May after he drove his truck directly into a peaceful protest in Pasadena. There were no injuries reported, according to CNN.

When police searched Hung’s vehicle they discovered semiautomatic handguns, ammunition, a machete and $3,200.

These items were found in Hung’s truck and recorded in the initial affidavit filed against him.

After being released on bail, Hung purchased three firearms in Oregon and drove them across state lines into California, where he was preparing to use his family’s vineyard as a training camp for acts of civil disorder.

Hung was rearrested Sept. 21 for conspiracy to transport firearms across state lines. He was arraigned and denied bail Tuesday and will remain in jail until his trial Oct. 15.
