Trump Supporters Stranded After Rally In Cold Temps, 7 Taken To Hospitals
Regardless of COVID-19 protocols during this pandemic, President Donald Trump’s campaign rallies have been something that his supporters have looked forward to. The President has moved from city to city, speaking with those who are hoping for his reelection as they join by the thousands, waving banners and chanting his name. They usually go down without a hitch, but Trump’s recent rally in Omaha, Nebraska reportedly left hundreds of his supporters stranded.
According to the Omaha World-Herald, the Trump campaign had attendees park about three miles away from the rally itself and bused people to the location. However, when leaving, there was more of a demand since everyone descended at the same time, slowing the return of the buses. It’s estimated that 21,000 people attended the rally and at its conclusion, hundreds of people waited upwards of three hours in freezing temperatures in the Eppley Airfield.
Police were called to help, and it’s reported that 30 people required medical attention while seven were sent to local hospitals. Elderly and infirmed people received rides to their vehicles from police officers on the scene. Those who could no longer wait decided to make the three-mile trek to their cars.
Former Vice President Joe Biden used the incident to criticize his political opponent. “He makes a lot of big pronouncements, but they don’t hold up. He gets his photo op and he gets out,” Biden said. “He leaves everyone else to suffer the consequence of his failure to make a responsible plan.” Trump’s press secretary stated that the President loves his supporters and deployed 40 buses to make sure they were taken care of.

E.G. Phillips unveils where silence speaks the loudest on new release “Empathy for the Night Fly”
The mood of E.G. PHILLIPS’s “Empathy for the Night Fly” is instantly cinematic, dark, introspective, and frozen in time. The track sounds like a scene from a late-night club where everything slows down just enough for feelings to come out. The arrangement is jazz-like in that it lets each part breathe. The arpeggiating Rhodes piano comes and goes, giving the impression that the music is thinking, as if it’s moving.
The song is really about recognition, which is when you hear something in someone else’s voice that reminds you of your own experience. It’s subtle, almost fragile, but it has a big effect on people. That emotional connection is what holds the piece together.
That choice seems deliberate, even defiant. It asks the listener to pay attention differently, not just passively. Every break is a part of the story. E.G. Phillips doesn’t just make the mood; he keeps it going. In that space, “Empathy for the Night Fly” becomes a quiet, powerful look at memory, connection, and shared feelings.

Firecamino maintains folk storytelling with new release “Juan The Baptist”
“Juan the Baptist” is a stunning single by Firecamino, blending vivid storytelling with charming melody. The laid-back indie song with folk and country influences sounds like an ancient story told around a campfire after a long night.
The song’s central character is a misguided hero, vulnerable and human. Firecamino emphasizes imperfection over perfection, creating a relatable protagonist. That storytelling gives the song a cinematic, intimate feel.
“Juan the Baptist” handles several musical influences well. Folk-inspired writing and country textures add emotion and familiarity. Meanwhile, the cool indie vibe smooths the edges and lets the track flow naturally without being dramatic.
