Robert F. Kennedy Jr. officially suspended his campaign and endorsed former President Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential election during a speech Friday, AUgust 23, 2024, in Phoenix, Arizona.
Kennedy, in a statement, outlined the three primary causes that drove him to this decision: free speech, the war in Ukraine, and what he described as “the war on our children.”
He explained that these issues were central to his initial decision to leave the Democratic Party and run as an independent, and now they have compelled him to support Trump’s candidacy.
Former President Donald Trump on Thursday vowed to impose stiff punishments – including the death penalty – on illegal migrants found guilty of committing heinous crimes.
“We will impose tough new sentences on illegal alien criminals, including 10-year mandatory minimum sentences for anyone found guilty of human smuggling; a guaranteed life sentence for any one found guilty of child trafficking; and a death penalty for anyone guilty of child or woman sex trafficking,” Trump said at a news conference in Cochise County, Ariz., just steps from the US-Mexico border.
“We’ll also impose the death penalty on major drug dealers and traffickers,” the 78-year-old former president added.
Four Venezuelan migrants believed to have links to the notorious prison gang Tren de Aragua were indicted Wednesday in the violent armed robbery of a Denver jewelry store — including two migrants who have previously been arrested in other states, The Post can reveal.
Three of the alleged gangbangers — Oswaldo Lozada-Solis, 23, Jesus Daniel Lara Del Toro, 20, and Jean Franco Torres-Roman, 21 — were charged with armed robbery and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence, the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado announced Wednesday.
The fourth migrant, Edwuimar Nazareth Colina-Romero, 18, was charged with transporting stolen goods and possession of stolen goods.
Louisville Police reportedly arrested Officer Javar Downs, who infamously helped arrest the world’s best golfer, Scottie Scheffler, during the PGA Championship earlier this year.
Downs has been placed on emergency suspension and police chief Paul Humphrey is in the process of terminating him, according to the Courier-Journal, which cited a statement from police spokesperson Angela Ingram. He’s been charged with theft and official misconduct, and remains under internal investigation.
Downs was part of the Louisville traffic unit that accosted Scheffler in the early morning hours ahead of his PGA Championship round and took him to jail for what appeared to be a simple traffic misunderstanding.
Former Chief Impact Officer at ActBlue responded to false donations under senior citizens’ names.
The O’Keefe Media Group recently released video of Texas donors shocked by unauthorized donations to Democrat fundraising giant ActBlue.

With multiple reports confirming speculation that Vice President Kamala Harris will back President Biden’s tax hike plan, reactions have started pouring in from prominent figures in political and economic circles. "It would be devastating to the economy," former CKE Restaurants CEO Andy Puzder said Thursday on "The Evening Edit."
"You're going to give up revenue, you're going to lose companies. We're going to lose business," he continued.
"You need to understand, a 25% increase in unrealized capital gains means, theoretically at least, if your house goes up in price, in value, the government can step in and say: give me the money,”
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. joined former President Trump on stage at his Friday rally in Glendale, Arizona, hours after the third-party candidate announced he was suspending his presidential campaign and endorsing the Republican nominee.
"We are both in this to do what's right for the country," Trump told the large crowd inside the Desert Diamond Arena with RFK Jr. standing beside him, adding that if he wins the presidency, he would establish an independent presidential commission on assassination attempts that would also be tasked with releasing all the remaining documents related to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy, RFK Jr.'s uncle, who was killed in 1963.
Democrat Party operative David Axelrod took Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s endorsement of Donald Trump hard.
The former campaign and White House adviser to Barack Obama took to social media to air his grievances over the scion of the premier Democrat political family endorsing the Republican standard bearer.
“Robert F. Kennedy was my political hero,” Axelrod said. “He battled fiercely & eloquently against poverty, injustice and for economic fairness. Sadly RFK Jr, who made a rambling exit from the race today, proves that sometimes an apple DOES fall far from the tree…in this case, down a hill and over a cliff.” (X)
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has suspended his campaign and endorsed Donald Trump. It’s been an event for a long time coming. Mr. Kennedy was never going to win the presidency, but he did have some strong support when Joe Biden was the 2024 nominee. It was significant enough to impact the president’s standings in some key swing states.With Biden gone, Mr. Kennedy was siphoning more votes away from Trump. While the two men don’t have much in common regarding their agenda, Mr. Kennedy said that defending free speech, the war in Ukraine, and the war on our children drove him to quit the 2024 race and get behind Mr. Trump.

Secret Service top brass encouraged agents not to request additional security for Donald Trump’s Butler, Pa. rally last month where a would-be assassin nearly killed the former president, according to a whistleblower.
The whistleblower allegations were revealed in a Friday letter from Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) to Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe, in which the lawmaker demanded answers to Rowe’s “apparent contradiction” that no security assets were denied for the event.

Hunter Biden’s celebrity attorney lashed out that federal prosecutors are trying to “slime” the first son — by trying to introduce evidence that Hunter splurged on strippers and pornography at his upcoming tax trial in Los Angeles.
Mark Geragos argued during a hearing in a Los Angeles federal courtroom that special counsel David Weiss’s effort to introduce evidence of Hunter’s seedy spending while avoiding paying $1.4 million in taxes is nothing more than “character assassination” and shouldn’t be allowed.
“They want to slime him because that is the whole purpose,” Geragos told federal Judge Mark Scarsi.
“It’s actually a form of character assassination,"

Transcript: RFK Jr's Epic Speech
replies
On Friday afternoon, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced that he is suspending his campaign and endorsing Donald Trump. In a speech that lasted over 45 minutes, he explained his rationale for dropping out, how he wants to help Trump, and what he hopes his legacy will be. It was a powerful, epic speech, and even though conservatives have plenty to disagree with RFK over, his idea of a unity campaign with Trump combined with his desire to make America healthy again is admirable.
Here's the speech in its entirety. Forgive me if there are errors; I tried to catch them all.
I'm sorry to keep everybody waiting.
Donald Trump thanked Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Friday after the scion of the legendary family offered him a dynamic-shifting endorsement.
Kennedy stated Friday he is suspending his campaign but not ending it, urging residents of blue states to vote for him but throwing his support behind former President Donald Trump in battleground states. The distinction is important for Kennedy, whose candidacy was composed of supporters and volunteers from across the political spectrum.But Kennedy ripped Trump’s opponent, Kamala Harris, while praising Trump Friday, and for all practical purposes, this is an endorsement, plain and simple.
CNN ended its live coverage of remarks from independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. the moment he pointed out that Kamala Harris has not sat for an interview since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee.
The CNN anchor interrupted Kennedy as he was about to call the Democratic Party's process for selecting Harris as their nominee "undemocratic."
Did you hear that, America? Vice President Kamala Harris says, “The consequences of putting Donald Trump back in the White House are extremely serious.” Extremely serious consequences. She sounded more like a vice principal than a vice president.
The only people who ever warn about extremely serious consequences are those who lack the power to impose them. It is a phrase used by high school administrators, HR ladies, and other figures of pseudo-authority who have to put on grave faces in order to stop the person on the other side of the desk from laughing.
Robert F. Kennedy on Friday officially announced the suspension of his candidacy in the 2024 Presidential Election and endorsed President Trump during a press conference in Phoenix, Arizona.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Kennedy clarified that he is not ending his campaign but rather suspending it in ten battleground states. He further announced, “I throw my support behind Donald Trump.”
He also formally announced that he will partner with President Trump’s administration to fight against the big pharma.
While rumors swirled that Taylor Swift and Beyoncé would take the stage as 'surprise guests' during the final evening of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, there was someone else who everyone had their eyes on: Ella Emhoff.
The 25-year-old daughter of Kamala Harris' husband and Second Gentleman Doug addressed the crowd alongside the Democratic presidential nominee's niece, Meena, and goddaughter Helena Hudlin.
Emhoff spoke lovingly about her stepmom last night, or as she calls her, 'Momala,' praising her as 'patient' and 'caring.'

Trump Case replies
Special Counsel Jack Smith reversed course in his quest to seek expedited hearings in his Washington, DC, case against former President Donald Trump.
Smith sought the hearings to determine which actions that Trump allegedly took he could charge in his election interference case against the president.The Supreme Court’s July 1 decision that presidents enjoy partial immunity for actions taken in office in an official capacity spurred Smith to alter his approach. Before Smith relented in his latest push to expedite the increasingly shaky case, Judge Tanya Chutkan had planned to hold hearings in the fall to determine which of Trump’s acts were official acts subject to prosecution.
Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey is emphatically urging Americans to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election.
Friday morning — the morning after the finale of the Democrat’s convention, which ended with Harris delivering the 12th shortest acceptance speeches in modern history — Deep State figure James Comey let the country know that he was in his feels in the aftermath.
“Kamala Harris made me feel like it’s finally morning in America,” Comey said. “Everyone who cares about the rule of law and America’s indispensable role in the world should vote for Harris and Walz.”
“I will,” Comey vowed:
A “Morning Joe” panel on Friday warned about how challenging it will be for Vice President Kamala Harris to defeat former President Donald Trump in the November election.
Trump is currently leading Harris in the main battleground states by 0.1%, according to the RealClearPolling (RCP) average. MSNBC hosts Jonathan Lemire and Joe Scarborough, as well as former MSNBC host Chris Matthews, said the election will likely be extremely tight, also noting that Trump historically outperforms the margin of voters that polls project him to receive.

When reached by phone, Burke, 48, told DailyMail.com said he could not comment on the case.MSNBC reported Friday morning that the SAIC and four others had been placed on leave, but did not name Burke.

In a heated exchange on CNBC, Elizabeth Warren found herself on the defensive as MSNBC’s Joe Kernel blasted her as she attempted to justify Kamala Harris’s latest push for Soviet-style price controls.
Kamala Harris traveled to Raleigh, North Carolina on Friday to announce a Communist-style price control scheme to combat the inflation crisis she created.
Harris cast the tie-breaking vote on the so-called ‘Inflation Reduction Act.’ The IRA made inflation unbearable for Americans. Food prices are skyrocketing because of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Friday that he was suspending his campaign - with a twist.
Kennedy pushed supporters who live in 10 swing states to back Republican nominee Donald Trump, but said his name would remain on the ballots on traditional red or blue states.
'I would like everyone to know that I am not terminating my campaign, I am simply suspending it,' Kennedy said in Arizona on Friday. In long-winded remarks, Kennedy said he was withdrawing from the race in swing states because, 'I would likely hand the election over to the Democrats, with whom I disagree on the most existential issues.'

~No, I'm not going to analyse the alleged "nominee"'s speech. This précis of what's going on is hard to beat:
So the US Department of Justice lost the case, but two months later, and on the same day, both defendants are dead anyway, along with one of their victorious lawyers. "In the course of forty-eight hours, I can't process what has happened," says their surviving attorney, Gary Lindberg, "but both of our clients, as well as Chris and his wife, are gone."
Will the real Kamala Harris please stand up? Promises to “chart a new path forward” and “be a president for all Americans” are so boilerplate, they ought to be outlawed.
After three nights of political hosannas in which she was depicted as a cross between Eliot Ness and Mother Teresa, Harris finally took the floor to speak for herself Thursday night.
She spoke well and forcefully and electrified the Chicago convention hall, but color me as confused as ever. Other than not being Donald Trump or Joe Biden, who is she?
What does she really believe and what would she do as president?
If she knows the answers, she’s keeping them a secret.
When Joe Biden picked Kamala Harris as his running mate four years ago, he said he did so because she could assume the office “on day one.” More than 30 days after becoming the presumptive nominee, Harris still does not seem ready to be the Democratic Party’s nominee, let alone president. She is an empty pantsuit, basking in the glow of positive media coverage and unburdened by accountability.
Her acceptance speech confirmed that. Harris has now officially accepted the Democratic Party’s nomination. Her nomination was “historic,” as liberals like to say, but not because of her ethnicity. Rather,
A number of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. supporters recently said on social media they will vote for Donald Trump if the independent presidential candidate drops out of the 2024 election and endorses the Republican nominee as a new poll found that if Kennedy Jr. leaves the race more of his supporters would lean towards backing the former president than Vice President Kamala Harris.[Snip] A number of self-described Kennedy Jr. supporters on X, formerly Twitter, said they are either open to switching their votes to Trump should the environmental campaigner and vaccine sceptic leave the contest, or had already decided to do so.

Because the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld California outlawing talk therapy for minors with unwanted same-sex attraction, it must likewise uphold Idaho's ban on invasive and potentially irreversible medical treatments to make gender-confused minors resemble the opposite sex, the Gem State's outside lawyer told a three-judge panel Thursday.

Actor and comedian Rob Schneider, who endorsed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. earlier this year, has now thrown his support behind Donald Trump. The announcement comes ahead of Kennedy's planned press conference on Friday afternoon, in which he is widely expected to drop out of the race and potentially endorse Trump himself.
In this endorsement, which he posted to X, Schneider addressed fellow supporters of Robert Kennedy Jr. and American citizens, criticizing the Democratic Party for running on hatred of Donald Trump rather than on policies that improve Americans’ lives.

It's not working anymore. The old slogans just aren't cutting it. The protesters are grayer; the signs are all professionally done now, with few obscenities. What's on them has been tested in focus groups and carefully manufactured for maximum impact — not to move people but to catch the all-seeing, voracious eye of the camera.
The protesters are props now. The business of protests takes place off camera, with activists pleading, begging, threatening, and lying to get the attention of news media. In the case of the DNC anti-Israel/pro-Hamas protests, the hype started early. In the weeks leading up to the convention,
CLAIM: Vice President Kamala Harris claimed during her Democratic National Convention (DNC) speech on Thursday that communist North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is “rooting for” her opponent, former President Donald Trump, in the 2024 presidential election.
VERDICT: False. The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), the flagship state propaganda service of the Kim regime, said explicitly of the results of the 2024 election: “we do not care about this.” Kim Jong-un himself, while meeting with Trump on several occasions, later accused him of negotiating with Pyongyang in “bad faith.”
If you watched Kamala's speech Thursday night, my condolences. That's a long time to listen to her voice and her lies.
Still, there was a moment that was almost amusing, though mostly just painfully lacking in self-awareness.
Though her speech was missing a lot on policy, she tried to reinvent herself and tout her record in various offices, which gave us this little line:
"I stood up," she claimed, "For veterans and students being scammed by big for-profit colleges. For workers who were being cheated out of the wages they were due. For seniors facing elder abuse." [Emphasis added] [Video]
That's ironic," observed the Trump War Room account on X/Twitter.
One of the things that deeply worries those who are planning to vote for Donald Trump is the possibility of election fraud. The fraud that worries them most is that corrupt precincts will wait to see how the wind blows before finalizing their vote counts. If the honest vote count shows that Kamala Harris won their state, they’ll call it. However, if an honest vote count shows that Donald Trump won, they’ll start manufacturing votes.[Snip] My friend “Jonathan Gault,”however, emailed me a suggestion that can be implemented in every county in America—especially every Republican-leaning county: No precincts should release vote counts until every vote is counted across the state.
Chicago — Former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy made a surprise appearance on the final day of the Democratic National Convention, just hours before Vice President Harris is set to take the stage.“I held a conference open to the public, open to the press, earlier today, where I laid out an alternative vision — the vision that not only our party, but the America First movement and Donald Trump stands for — to give voters that choice,” [Snip] “And it was to call on Kamala Harris to offer her own vision. Let’s see if she does it tonight,” he added.
Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) on Thursday refused to endorse Kamala Harris’s bid for president one day after saying it is more important to elect her than his own reelection as Montana’s senior senator. Tester hosted a press conference in Missoula and revealed he does not want to endorse Harris because he does not want to “nationalize” his reelection.[Snip] Tester’s backflip on Harris support follows as multiple polls have Montana Senate Republican candidate Tim Sheehy leading Tester.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell signaled on Friday that the central bank is prepared to begin lowering its key interest rate, likely starting next month, as the Fed seeks to prevent further deterioration in the labor market while continuing to monitor inflation.[Snip] The July employment report, which showed weaker-than-expected job growth, added to these concerns and rattled financial markets. As well, this week the Labor Department released revisions to its estimates of nonfarm payrolls that showed the economy added roughly 818,000 fewer jobs than the monthly jobs reports had estimated. This suggests the labor market began to soften earlier than was thought.
“PBS NewsHour" anchor Judy Woodruff apologized Wednesday for reporting a story about former President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that both leaders have staunchly denied.

"This was a mistake and I apologize for it," Woodruff wrote. She posted, "I want to clarify my remarks on the PBS News special on Monday night about the ongoing cease fire talks in the Middle East.

Until Thursday night, we did not know that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are truly supreme beings. They are the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful humans we’ve ever known. We realize this now because he media told us so.
And the American media would never try to manipulate the voters, would it? It just tells the story straight. For instance:
According to the Trump campaign, there will now be a special guest attending the Glendale, Arizona MAGA rally tomorrow (7:00pm ET). A lot of speculation has centered around Robert F Kennedy Jr, likely endorsing President Trump.
Many people within the MAGA community, mostly those associated with the financial benefits of the movement, have been advocating for RFK Jr to be placed in a prominent Trump administration position.
I am taking a wait-and-see approach; however, I do not see any benefit from any RFK endorsement. The same Republicans who voted for Evan McMullin, are the same Republicans currently supporting RFK Jr. That group will not change their anti-Trump position
Last night, Kamala Harris repeatedly asserted that she would "chart a new course," or "chart a new way forward." For that, one would expect a chart or two.
Harris competently delivered a well-received but nearly substance-free acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention. At 37 minutes, give or take, it ran long enough for the occasion without tiring the audience, in the hall or on television. And mirablile dictu, we never got the ubiquitous Harris incantation, "what we can be, unburdened by what has been."
Which in this case was rather ironic, since at least a third or more of Harris' speech was devoted to what has been -- her "personal story."

Vice President Kamala Harris capped the star-studded Democratic National Convention on Thursday by vowing to unite Americans and usher in a “new way forward” — but offered little insight into her policy agenda that would achieve that.
Harris, 59, formally accepted her party’s presidential nomination in a speech that focused on her “middle-class” background and painted former President Donald Trump as an “unserious man” whose election would have “extremely serious” consequences for American democracy.
In the nearly 40-minute address, Harris leaned heavily on her childhood and her “unexpected” journey to the White House.

If you’re one of the shrunken number of people who have bothered to watch the Democratic National Convention, you will by now certainly know it’s been long on rhetoric, and incredibly short on policy specifics. That’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
On Thursday night’s final evening of the Democratic National Convention, the party’s candidate and current Vice President Kamala Harris didn’t release a party platform.

Vice President Kamala Harris outlined her plans to pass amnesty for 11 to 22 million illegal aliens in the United States during her speech on Thursday evening at the Democrat National Convention (DNC).“I know we can live up to our proud heritage as a nation of immigrants and reform our broken immigration system,” Harris said on the final night of the DNC. “We can create an earned pathway to citizenship and secure our border.
” That “earned pathway to citizenship” is presumably designed to allow the nation’s 11 to 22 million illegal aliens to apply for green cards, and eventually, secure naturalized American citizenship via legislation that remains opposed
Does anybody else feel like we’re navigating a deep spiritual divide in America? In addition to officially nominating and affirming its presidential candidate, political conventions serve as a snapshot of its party’s overarching priorities, principles and passions — a united declaration, and an unapologetic defense of its platform.
If that’s the case, the Democratic National Convention in Chicago is making loud and clear that for its party and its candidates, nationwide access to abortion transcends every other issue. This ongoing obsession with the willful destruction of human life represents a sobering chapter in American history — and one that ominously foreshadows dark and difficult times to come.
Not only do Democrats fashion themselves the protectors of “democracy,” they claim to be champions of decency.
Well, if the second day of the Democratic National Convention is any indication, the left doesn’t have any claim to the moral high ground.
For one thing, no one at the DNC seemed even mildly constrained by the truth.
More than once, for instance, Democrats falsely claimed that former President Donald Trump had referred to the tiki torch Nazis of Charlottesville as “very fine people.”
Democrats also falsely accused the former president of instructing Americans to “inject bleach” during the COVID pandemic.

Vice President Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic nomination for president in Chicago on Thursday night, spending much of her acceptance speech attacking former President Donald Trump.
During her speech, she claimed that there would be “serious” consequences if Trump was elected in November and attacked him on issues ranging from abortion to border security. Harris became the Democratic nominee without getting a single vote from Democratic primary voters.
“Fellow Americans, this election is not only the most important of our lives, it is one of the most important in the life of our nation.
CHICAGO — Vice President Kamala Harris put her family in the spotlight at her Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
Former Scandal actor Kerry Washington sought the help of Harris’s nieces Amara and Leela on how to properly pronounce “Kamala” on Thursday, shortly before the vice president is expected to accept the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination. (X Video) The pig-tailed pair explained “Kamala” was pronounced by putting together “comma” and “lah,” leading the United Center arena in a call and response before Washington completed the chant with “for president!”
“First you say comma, like comma in a sentence,” Amara said. “Then you say, ‘La,’ like lalalala,” Leila finished.

Fans and viewers had a collective meltdown after pop star Beyoncé was a no-show at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) following multiple news reports that the Grammy-winner would perform on Thursday night. “F****** liars,” one fan reacted, accusing the convention and or news outlets of lying “to get people to watch.”
“Beyoncé Performing at DNC’s Final Night!!!” read a headline from TMZ, which reported that multiple sources with knowledge of the matter told the outlet that the “Beautiful Liar” singer would be “big surprise performer” as Vice President Kamala Harris officially accepts the Democrat Party nomination.
If you missed Kamala Harris’s speech at the Democrat National Convention, you didn’t miss much. The first act was all biography. The second act was all Trump bashing, naturally.
In one of the most stunning moments, she accused Trump of throwing away people’s votes. This is especially rich because Kamala wouldn’t even be the Democrat nominee without the Democrat party throwing away millions of votes from Democrat primary voters who voted for Biden.

Donald Trump slammed Kamala Harris for her rapid-fire repetition of the phrase 'Thank you' before she began her prime-time speech at the Democratic National Convention speech Thursday.
'Too many “Thank yous,” too rapidly said, what’s going on with her?' wrote Trump, himself a seasoned practitioner of big rallies from years of campaigning.
Harris said 'Thank you' a total of 27 times before she even began her speech. She did so while thanking the ecstatic crowd for its rapturous welcome and appeared to be trying to politely stop the clapping and cheering so she could begin.
The 2023-2024 campaign season is not just the strangest on record, it's also arguably the most anti-democratic.
Ostensibly, the Democratic Party has claimed over the last decade that former President Donald Trump posed a continued and existential threat to the republic.That allegation subsequently justified a variety of anti-democratic means to neuter his first two presidential candidacies, his presidency, and now his third and final run for the White House.
A near decade ago, we witnessed the 2015-2016 Hillary Clinton/Democratic National Committee/FBI-assisted effort to plant the false accusation of Trump-Russian collusion to warp the 2016 election.
Pop singer Beyoncé was “never scheduled” to perform on the last night of the DNC despite reports that were circulating on Thursday. Speculation had been swirling of a special guest until TMZ allegedly “confirmed” that the “Halo” singer would be making an appearance.
TMZ reported on what a huge deal it would be having Beyonce perform:
As you’d expect, Beyoncé’s appearance is a huge deal, not only for Harris and the Party but in Chicago as well. We’re told Chicago PD is on high alert as it’s involved in security for Beyoncé at the United Center arena.

Thursday night, Kamala Harris took the stage in a blue pantsuit to accept her party's nomination for President of the United States. The excited audience kept chanting "Kamala" and "USA"; she thanked them and said, "We got to get to some business! Thank you all."
According to Politico, Vice President Kamala Harris planned to lean into her personal biography, and that is what she did. While mention was made of her father Donald Harris, it was her mother Shyamala Gopalan's "values" that Harris constantly referred to as her guiding principles throughout her speech. As I wrote throughout this four-day-long, DNC reinvention fest, everything from the single-mother schtick

It remains to be seen what the Ukrainian invasion of Russia will accomplish on the battlefield or how long it will even last. Nevertheless, there are some signs that the invasion is causing some Russians, and not just the ones currently being evacuated from their homes, to turn on President Putin.
While news outlets in Russia have tried to put a more positive spin on the developments in the war, focusing on the Russian government’s humanitarian response, some Russian social media users have expressed discontent.
Many of the online postings, according to the analysis by FilterLabs AI, say Ukraine’s advance is a failure of the Russian government
