But if Clemson’s a stock, you better buy all you freakin’ can buy right now.” Tigers running back Phil Mafah rushed for 86 yards and two touchdowns.

Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Kylon Griffin were the ones who created the turnovers.

Former President Donald Trump holds sizable leads over President Biden in five of the six most important battleground states, according to a New York Times-Siena College poll released Sunday. Trump leads Biden by a whopping 10 points in Nevada, six points in Georgia, five points in both Arizona and Michigan, and four points in Pennsylvania. Biden’s sole lead is in Wisconsin, where he beats Trump by two points. Biden had defeated Trump in all six states during the 2020 election. Combining the polling in all six states gives Trump a 48-44 lead over Biden. The NYT-Siena College poll surveyed 3,662 registered voters in the six states from Oct. 22 to Nov. 3. ACLU BACKS TRUMP IN FIGHT AGAINST DC JUDGE’S GAG ORDER The polling attributes Biden’s poor showing to a devastating lack of confidence due to his age. Voters said they trusted Trump to better hand the economy, foreign policy and immigration. NEW YORK JUDGE FINES TRUMP $10K FOR VIOLATING PARTIAL GAG ORDER IN CIVIL FRAUD TRIAL Trump’s performance also came thanks to unprecedented levels of support from black voters, with a record 22% of the demographic siding with him over Biden across the six states, according to NYT. Trump currently holds a commanding lead in the 2024 Republican Presidential primary, with his closest competitors dozens of points below him. “The world is falling apart under Biden,” Spencer Weiss, a 53-year-old electrical substation specialist in Pennsylvania told NYT. Weiss added that he was flipping his 2020 vote away from Biden. “I would much rather see somebody that I feel can be a positive role-model leader for the country. But at least I think Trump has his wits about him.” Soon to be 81, Biden is the oldest candidate in U.S. history to run for president, followed closely by Trump at 77. An overwhelming 71% of respondents told NYT that Biden is “too old” to serve as an effective president.

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral infection that affects millions of people worldwide, causing a wide range of symptoms.  In some cases, dengue can progress into a potentially life-threatening condition.  Recognizing the distinctions between dengue and severe dengue and knowing how to both prevent and handle these conditions is of paramount importance for public health. Below are essential insights into the fundamental facts of these illnesses. Dengue fever is caused by the dengue virus, transmitted to humans primarily through the bites of infected Aedes mosquitoes. ARE YOU A MOSQUITO MAGNET? IT MIGHT BE FOR ONE UNPLEASANT REASON Dengue fever typically presents a wide range of symptoms, including severe headaches, high fever, muscle pain, rashes and, occasionally, mild bleeding. In the majority of instances, dengue fever follows a mild and self-limiting course with symptoms typically subsiding within a week.  The seriousness of the dengue virus can vary widely depending on the specific strain of the virus, the individual’s age, overall health and access to medical care.  Dengue fever is generally characterized as a mild to moderate illness. However, severe forms of the disease can be life-threatening. Severe dengue represents an intensified and potentially life-threatening variant of the disease. It can manifest with severe abdominal pain, vomiting, fast and shallow breathing, along with a weak, accelerated pulse.  In the most critical cases, severe dengue can advance to dengue shock syndrome, marked by a sudden drop in blood pressure that may lead to fatal consequences.  ARGENTINA STERILIZES MOSQUITOES WITH RADIATION TO BATTLE DEVASTATING DENGUE OUTBREAK Notably, individuals with a prior dengue infection face an elevated risk of developing severe dengue if they are reinfected with a different dengue virus serotype. Dengue fever typically progresses through four stages, each characterized by specific symptoms: 1. Febrile phase: This is the initial stage of dengue fever, lasting for about two to seven days. The primary symptom is a sudden fever, often reaching up to 104 F. Other common symptoms include severe headaches, pain behind the eyes, joint and muscle pain, and a rash. 2. Critical phase: After the febrile phase, some individuals enter a critical phase, usually around the time the fever subsides. This phase typically extends for one to two days, during which the likelihood of progressing to severe dengue significantly rises. 3. Plasma leakage phase: During this stage, the blood vessels become more permeable, leading to the leakage of fluid from the bloodstream into surrounding tissues. This can result in symptoms like a sudden drop in blood pressure, fluid accumulation, and shock. 4. Recovery phase: This stage presents increased urination, as the leaked fluids are reabsorbed into the bloodstream.  Patients typically start to feel better, but they may experience fatigue and weakness for an extended period. It is essential to note that not all individuals with dengue fever progress to severe dengue. Most dengue cases are mild and self-limiting, with symptoms resembling the febrile phase.  However, identifying warning signs and seeking prompt medical attention is crucial to preventing severe dengue and its potentially life-threatening complications. Preventing dengue and severe dengue relies on controlling the mosquito vectors and taking personal protective measures. Mosquito control: Eliminate mosquito breeding sites around your home by removing stagnant water in containers, using mosquito nets, and installing screens on windows and doors. Travel precautions: If traveling to regions where dengue is endemic, take extra precautions to avoid mosquito exposure. Early diagnosis: Seek medical attention promptly if you suspect you have dengue, as early diagnosis and proper medical care can reduce the risk of severe dengue. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER Dengue and severe dengue represent significant global health concerns, particularly prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. To effectively fight these diseases, it is important to distinguish between their characteristics, identify symptoms, and implement preventive measures. By remaining well-informed and implementing proactive strategies, both individuals and communities can play a pivotal role in reducing the impact of dengue and severe dengue, contributing to their control and prevention.

Vivien Leigh, whose birth name was Vivian Mary Hartley, was born on this day in history on Nov. 5, 1913, in Darjeeling, India.  Her father was an English stockbroker and her mother was Irish, according to Biography.com.  The British actress achieved film immortality by playing two of American literature’s most celebrated Southern belles, the same source notes. ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, NOVEMBER 4, 1980, RONALD REAGAN ELECTED PRESIDENT: ‘MORNING IN AMERICA’  Leigh made her first stage appearance at the age of three, reciting “Little Bo Peep” for her mother’s amateur theater group, as the Hollywood Walk of Fame said. The family relocated to England when she was a young girl. An only child, she was sent to the Convent of the Sacred Heart in Roehampton, England.  One of her friends at that school was future actress Maureen O’Sullivan, to whom she expressed her desire to become “a great actress,” according to several sources. In 1932, Leigh enrolled at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art — and became engaged to Herbert Leigh Holman.  The couple married later that year and she adopted his middle name as her stage surname. ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, APRIL 5, 1908, ACTRESS BETTE DAVIS BORN IN MASSACHUSETTS: ‘STRONG-WILLED WOMAN’ She also changed the spelling of her name from Vivian to Vivien to become Vivien Leigh, as Encyclopedia.com noted. The couple had one child, Suzanne Farrington. They divorced in 1940. That same year, Leigh married actor Laurence Olivier, and the couple eventually divorced in 1960, the same source indicated. Leigh’s mental health began to decline in the early 1950s, and Olivier would often find her “inconsolable … sitting on the corner of the bed, wringing her hands and sobbing, in a state of grave distress,” Olivier wrote in his autobiography, according to Country Living Magazine.  ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, MARCH 31, 1943, ‘OKLAHOMA!’ DEBUTS ON BROADWAY: ‘DEEPLY FELT’ Leigh achieved international stardom for the role of Scarlett O’Hara in “Gone With the Wind” in 1939, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress.  She then won a second Oscar in 1951 for her portrayal of Blanche DuBois in the film version of “A Streetcar Named Desire” by Tennessee Williams, according to multiple sources.  Later in her career, Leigh suffered from mental illness — and was eventually diagnosed with manic depression, according to Biography.com. In addition to her film success, Leigh was a prolific stage performer, frequently in collaboration with her then-husband, Laurence Olivier, who directed her in several of her roles, according to The Hollywood Walk of Fame.  During her 30-year stage career, she played roles ranging from the heroines of Noël Coward and George Bernard Shaw comedies to classic Shakespearean characters such as Ophelia, Cleopatra, Juliet and Lady Macbeth, the same source recounted.  While rehearsing for a London production of “A Delicate Balance” in 1967, Leigh fell ill, and shortly after succumbed to tuberculosis on July 8, 1967, at the age of 53, in London, according to Biography.com. Following her death, to mark a both a sad and premature end to a career that was both tumultuous and triumphant, the London theater district blacked out its lights for a full hour in Leigh’s honor, the same source said. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER In 2013, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London purchased her personal archives. They include her personal diaries and previously unseen photographs, Biography.com noted. Leigh’s legacy lives on.  When the digitally restored “Gone with the Wind” was released in 2014, a new generation discovered the beauty and bravery of Vivien Leigh — whom Marie Claire magazine called one of the world’s most legendary actresses.

The New York Jets landed superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers in an offseason blockbuster trade. But his time under center was short-lived after he injured his Achilles on the fourth play of the season.  Rodgers has since undergone an innovative surgery that could accelerate the quarterback’s recovery time.  Normally, Achilles injuries require anywhere from nine months to a year of recovery time. But Rodgers has suggested he’ll suit up again this season, and he doubled down Saturday on his hope to play again this year. “It’s a process, step by step, day by day,” Rodgers told NBC Sports when he appeared at Santa Anita Park for the Breeders’ Cup. “There’s some great days, some rough days. But the goal for me is to come back this year.”  CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM The 39-year-old quarterback did caution that he has to reach a few benchmarks before he can play again. “It’s got to be — otherwise, I think it’d be a lot of rehab in vain. We’ll see what happens. I’ve got to hit some markers before that. I’ve got to be able to move around. I’ve got to be able to avoid putting myself in harm’s way.” PACKERS LEGEND SAYS IT WAS TIME FOR TEAM, AARON RODGERS TO PART WAYS: ‘BOTH SIDES HAVE TO BE HAPPY’ On Friday, Rodgers posted a cryptic message on his social media account.  “A little more time…,” Rodgers wrote alongside a photo of his new Zenith watch on Instagram. Rodgers has a partnership with the luxury watch brand. There have been some signs of hope, the most recent coming last weekend when he dropped back and put some weight on his injured left leg while throwing several passes during warmups before the Jets’ game against the New York Giants. Zach Wilson has faced criticism for his uneven play during his tenure with the Jets, and he entered this season as the backup to Rodgers. He was thrust back into the starting role once Rodgers went down. Rodgers praised Wilson’s play.  “The team’s been playing good,” Rodgers said. “Proud of Zach, proud of the boys. We’re 4-3. We’ve got a big one on Monday night and one coming up on NBC the following week. So, excited to head back there (Sunday) and see the fellas, cheer on a win and keep getting better.” Rodgers is a longtime horse racing enthusiast. His pick for Saturday’s Breeders’ Cup Classic was the Japanese horse Ushba Tesoro, the No. 8 horse in the race. Rodgers picked him because his jersey number is 8 and told NBC he still regrets not betting the No. 8 in the Kentucky Derby in May. The Jets host to the Los Angeles Chargers Monday night.
