[NYPOST] Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh still appears to have a close relationship with his former quarterback, Colin Kaepernick.
Harbaugh and Kaepernick spent the 2011—14 seasons together in San Francisco when they were both with the 49ers.
Earlier this year, Harbaugh spoke with USA Today Sports and revealed he contacted Kaepernick to explore the possibility of the former NFL quarterback joining the Chargers' coaching staff.
Harbaugh said he spoke to Kaepernick shortly after he took the head coaching job in Los Angeles. In August, Harbaugh confirmed Kaepernick would not be part of the staff for the 2024 season.
''I love Colin, but he's not going to be on the coaching staff, which is set for this year. And he's not going to be playing on the roster either,'' Harbaugh said after a Chargers practice in August.
Kaepernick made a guest appearance on ''The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon'' this week, and he clarified whether he was offered a coaching role.
''It is not true,'' Kaepernick told Fallon. The former Niners star added he learned about the situation when he looked on social media.

Most pathetic team in the NFL. Nobody cares what the Chargers do.
[FoxNews] There are currently no treatments or vaccines for the highly fatal Ebola-like virus
Amid reports of a deadly viral outbreak in Central Africa, researchers are reportedly scrambling to develop treatments and vaccines to combat the Marburg virus.
As of Sept. 30, 2024, the country of Rwanda — which is bordered by Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo — has reported 27 cases of the virus and nine subsequent deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Most of the cases have affected health care workers at two health facilities in the city of Kigali, the same source stated.
The patients are being cared for in hospitals, as noted by the World Health Organization (WHO) on Sept. 29.
"Contact tracing is underway, with 300 contacts under follow-up," WHO stated.
This is the first time the Marburg virus has been reported in Rwanda.
WHAT IS THE MARBURG VIRUS?
Similar to Ebola, Marburg is a "rare but severe hemorrhagic fever" that can cause "serious illness and death," with a 20% to 90% fatality rate.
There have not been any confirmed cases in the United States, and the CDC says the risk of infection in the country is low.
"It is highly fatal in humans and there is no treatment — and unlike Ebola, there is no vaccine," Dr. Marc Siegel, senior medical analyst for Fox News and clinical professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center, told Fox News Digital.
"It is very similar to Ebola in that it causes hemorrhagic fever," he added.
Marburg is "difficult to catch," Siegel noted, as it requires close contact with bodily secretions. Wasn't a big Ebola issue with the ritual washing of the bodies before burial? Same here?

Grom - - Bill Gates funded Cepi and Gavi.
Cepi and Gavi made the COVAX facility
COVAX has shaken down billions out of your government and other developed nations.
COVAX has stolen $12 billion of our taxes since 2020 according to their website.
With that money they are building a web of mRNA factories around the developing world including Africa.
This is vaccine colonialism, to establish a scientific elite (the one eisenhower warned about in his Military Industrial Complex speech) that Bill Gates and friends can control
So yes- locally they will be "researching" and the only answer will be mRNA which will kill and injure a stack of people

Wasn't there a post here in the past couple of days about a pair of travelers from that area being stopped in Germany because of "bleeding from the eyes"? Gotta love that "interconnected world" thing.

The entire world loves Dolly. It would be nice if the government vould give some of the Ukraine billions to Appalachia instead since it is their taxes in the first place
A group of seven unjustly detained and tortured Venezuelan minors aged 15 to 17 will soon be placed on trial for “terrorism,” the local newspaper El Carabobeño reported on Wednesday.
Regime officials detained the group of children, which includes a 16-year-old girl, during the recent wave of protests against socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro’s fraudulent election. Families denounced that the children were tortured and not given the right to due defense.
Today they'll have 2 HVTs. Ignorant.
[MSN-CBSnews] How Secret Service will secure Trump's return Saturday to Butler, Pennsylvania.
When former president Donald Trump takes the stage once again Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, the security apparatus around the GOP nominee will look starkly different from the day of the first assassination attempt against him, when he took cover behind his podium as a gunman opened fire.
SECRET SERVICE AND THE SECOND BUTLER RALLY
U.S. Secret Service personnel will be stationed both inside and outside of the secure perimeter. That area includes the roof of a glass company warehouse where investigators say 20-year-old Thomas Crooks fired off eight rounds on July 13, grazing Trump's ear, killing one attendee and injuring two others.
"Since the attempted assassination of former President Trump on July 13, the U.S. Secret Service has made comprehensive changes and enhancements to our communications capabilities, resourcing, and protective operations," U.S. Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement. "Today, the former President is receiving heightened protection and we take the responsibility to ensure his safety and security very seriously."
Federal law enforcement and local police began planning for Trump's return to Butler roughly two weeks ago, multiple law enforcement officials told CBS News. The first in-person planning meeting with local law enforcement took place earlier this week, on Monday.
"Regarding the October 5 event in Butler, we are coordinating closely with the Pennsylvania State Police as well as local law enforcement in and around Butler Township," Guglielmi added. "We are also leveraging other federal security resources to expand personnel and technology."
Those federal resources will include agents from the Department of Homeland Security's Homeland Security Investigations, who will stand post inside and outside the security perimeter. TSA agents will be working the magnetometers along the perimeter of the site, according to law enforcement sources.
And while the 45th president's security footprint will include more personnel and assets — complete with counter sniper teams, enhanced counter drone technology and counter assault teams — there will also be additional Pennsylvania State Police officers on site, with tactical team members blended alongside U.S. Secret Service teams throughout the event.
SENATE REPORT ON SECRET SERVICE AND TRUMP BUTLER RALLY
Last month, an interim Senate report identified planning, communications and security failures in the U.S. Secret Service's efforts during former President Donald Trump's July rally that "directly contributed" to the assassination attempt against him.
The joint investigation of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations indicated that several Secret Service officials experienced chronic problems with their radios on July 13. In one notable instance, a Secret Service countersniper was offered a local radio to help with communications through the day, but he didn't have time to pick it up because he was working on "fixing" his own Secret Service radio. Because of failures of radios on site in Butler, the special agent in charge gave away his radio to a lead advance agent and went without one for the rest of the day, the report said.
Trump's detail now travels with a radio communications specialist from the U.S. Secret Service's Office of the Chief Information Officer, whose primary purpose is to share real-time information with Trump's team, as relayed on all law enforcement radio channels, according to multiple law enforcement sources.
ADDRESSING BUTLER RALLY SITE VULNERABILITIES
A number of tall buildings lining the perimeter of the Butler Farm Show create line-of-sight vulnerabilities for Trump. The Secret Service is mitigating that threat with stage enhancements, rows of farm vehicles parked around the rally site and bulletproof glass, according to the sources.
Unlike the July 13 rally, members of the U.S. Secret Service, Pennsylvania State Police and Butler County Police will sit together in a unified command post.
TRUMP IN BUTLER AMID ASSASSINATION THREATS FROM IRAN
The two attempts on Trump's life followed the arrest of a Pakistani national with ties to Iran, charged with allegedly plotting a murder-for-hire scheme targeting current and former U.S. officials, including Trump.
Matthew Olsen, head of the Department of Justice's National Security Division, said in an interview with CBS News Thursday that the U.S. government has been "intensely tracking Iranian lethal plotting efforts targeting former and current U.S. government officials — and that includes the former president."
Olsen added, "I would say that we are very concerned — gravely concerned — about Iranian plotting." Last month, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence briefed Trump on "real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate him."
"I think we've been very, very clear that that is a threat vector that we are extremely concerned about monitoring very closely, working to gain as much information and fidelity on as we possibly can," a senior DHS official told CBS News in a reporter briefing, Wednesday. "That is a U.S. government wide effort to involve all of our partners across the United States government."
A Homeland Threat Assessment released by the Department of Homeland Security Wednesday stated that Iran "maintains its intent to kill US government officials it deems responsible for the 2020 death of its Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC)-Quds Force Commander and designated foreign terrorist Qassem Soleimani," an action carried out during the Trump administration.
"It is no secret that this is a challenge we are confronting on a daily basis right now," the DHS senior official added.
Authorities anticipate roughly 25,000-30,000 will be attending the rally Saturday.

So the nozzle falls off the booster, but that doesn't require investigation?
They're not even pretending anymore.

FAA grounds SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket...
Bad Elon! Bad! You are supposed to go on the paper!
So a SpaceX booster fell outside the safety zone into the Pacific Ocean, a somewhat huge body of water. Just how far outside is outside? Seems important. Are we talking a technical foul or actual danger?
