Donald Trump is taking a victory lap today following the presidential debate. During a campaign rally in Chesapeake, Virginia, Trump said the debate showed Biden is grossly incompetent. He said "no amount of rest or rigging" could help Biden defend his "atrocious record," referencing Biden's time spent preparing for the debate at Camp David.        The Supreme Court has ruled that a January 6th Capitol rioter was improperly charged with obstruction. The case involved a former Pennsylvania police officer charged for his alleged participation in the attack on the Capitol. The Justices ruled 6-3 that the government's broad use of a 2002 law that specifically deals with obstruction does not apply to the officer, and by extension, others.        An Iowa law that bans abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected will go into effect. The Iowa State Supreme Court is upholding a 2023 law that was put on hold by an Iowa judge days after it was passed. In most cases the electrical impulse of a heartbeat can be heard by a doctor as early as six weeks.        The Pentagon is sending an amphibious assault ship with Marines to the eastern Mediterranean. That comes as tensions between Israel and Hezbollah rise along Lebanon's border. The USS Wasp entered the sea on Wednesday, according to US European Command.        Oklahoma's state school superintendent is requiring all public schools to have a Bible in every classroom from grades five through 12. On Thursday, Superintendent Ryan Walters announced teachers will also have to teach from the bible and incorporate it as part of their curriculum. Walters claims it's in accordance with academic standards and state law.        New court documents reveal Michael Jackson was more than 500-million dollars in debt when he died. A petition filed in Los Angeles Superior Court by the executors of his estate showed the extent of the King of Pop's debt. The filing also said Jackson's estate was left financially liable for 40-million dollars to tour promoter AEG. Jackson died shortly before a planned 50-show residency in London.
