Unsuccessful 2024 Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris says the word “hope” should be “changed to a verb.” One problem with that. It already is.
Hope can be used as both a noun and a verb.
Don Lemon, her host on his podcast that appeared over the weekend, did not point that out.
But those on social media, where the comment has gone viral, did as the sound bite was reposted on numerous X accounts.

The Bar Standards Board (BSB) of the United Kingdom announced on Friday that it had decided to temporarily suspend Karim Khan, formerly the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), as the ICC addresses allegations that Khan engaged in “non-consensual” sexual activity with a colleague.
The allegations first came to light in late 2024 after Khan had developed a reputation for an aggressive approach that resulted in the international court issuing warrants for Russian strongman Vladimir Putin and Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Britain's Observer newspaper said Prime Minister Keir Starmer was expected to resign on Monday and set out a timetable for his departure, though a government source said Starmer remained focused on getting on with the job of governing.
The threat to Starmer's position, which has been building for months, increased sharply on Friday when his rival Andy Burnham won a seat in parliament that would allow him to launch a formal leadership challenge.
The chief medical examiner for New York City reportedly determined the death of Estée Lauder Companies (ELC) executive Kendal Ascher was related to a cosmetic procedure.
His death was due to acute respiratory failure because of pulmonary embolism linked to foreign material following cosmetic filler injections, the New York Post reported, citing the city medical examiner’s statement Tuesday.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) as a leader and a candidate forged his reputation disapproving of Donald J. Trump, but his own approval rating in his state has now dipped below that of the president whom he has consistently targeted.

The Justice Department is indicating it will intervene in a lawsuit filed in New York by Catholic nuns after the state forced them to house biological men with women. (snip) The New York law requires long-term care facilities to provide rooms to transgender residents based on their “gender identity” rather than their biological sex, and forces facility staff to use preferred pronouns and names.
Catholic teaching says that biological sex is God-given and cannot be changed, and doing so is a form of lying. The nuns who run Rosary Hill Home place patients in single-sex rooms based on their biological sex
Federal authorities reportedly deployed to Skid Row in Los Angeles, California, on Thursday amid a probe into alleged voter fraud in the city’s 2026 primary election for mayor.

Now We Know Why the Obama Center Is So Ugly

The Obama Presidential Center finally opened to the public on Friday (not that you care), and the verdict from the internet was swift and brutal. People are calling it a "monstrous insult to architecture," a "concrete nightmare," and simply a "monstrosity." Social media has spent the week comparing the thing to a trash can and a dystopian movie set, which, having seen the photos, feels generous.
It’s hideous.
Naturally, the man who helped design the building's most mocked feature has a different take. Chris Bird, the Washington structural engineer who designed the upper portion of the center's towering centerpiece,

Sir Keir Starmer choked up this morning as he resigned as Labour leader and listed his ‘achievements’, setting the stage for a leadership contest and a new Prime Minister to be in place by September. The Mail has more.
Keir Starmer choked up today as he announced he is quitting, with Andy Burnham closing in on taking control of Downing Street.
The PM talked up his achievements in getting Labour elected – as well as making a series of dubious claims about successes in Government – in a statement outside the famous black door of No. 10.

A doctor told Joy Reid Friday that the recent Michelle Obama joke made at the UFC White House fight was giving her heart palpitations.
Dr. Frita Fisher, a quadruple-board-certified nephrologist and former Fox News guest, went on ex-MSNBC host Joy Reid’s YouTube show to discuss the medical threats facing black women.
When Dr. Frita first saw the viral clip of UFC fighter Josh Hockit shouting, “And lastly, Michelle Obama is a man! Am I right, America?” after his match, she told Reid that she was “personally humiliated.” “I felt my heart having palpitations. I felt my chest tighten. I felt personally humiliated
How do Americans respond to the economic and political system known as socialism? For a decade or two after the collapse of socialism in Eastern Europe countries and other nations, the idea became untenable. Now, however, socialism has regained popularity among many, in particular Democrats, as the June I&I/TIPP Poll demonstrates.
In the latest online national poll, taken from May 26 through May 28, 1,589 voting-age respondents were asked the following question: “In general, do you have a favorable or unfavorable view of socialism?”
Those answering the poll, which has a margin of error of +/-2.7 percentage points, were
Democratic socialists are making gains in mayoral races across several of the nation’s largest cities.
The latest breakthrough came in Washington, where Janeese Lewis George won the Democratic primary and is positioned to capture the mayor’s office in November in a city dominated by Democratic voters.
Lewis George campaigned on a platform that includes subsidized or free child care, expanded assistance for homebuyers, community-based anti-crime initiatives and opposition to President Donald Trump’s efforts to reshape the nation’s capital.
“People are tired of hearing what government can’t do. They want to hear what government can do,” Lewis George said before the primary election.

A federal judge on Monday blocked the Trump administration from creating a centralized database containing Social Security numbers along with information about voters’ citizenship status and other sensitive data.
District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, an appointee of former President Biden, said officials across numerous government agencies “haphazardly combined and repurposed the private information of millions of Americans, including citizenship data that they knew to be unreliable” in order to comply with President Trump’s March executive order attempting to overhaul federal elections.
The Erasure of Mother and Father in New York
16 replies
The first words out of my son’s mouth were “Mom” and “Dad,” words that capture the beautiful, natural reality of human life and family. Yet New York’s Democrat-controlled legislature has passed a bill that seeks to erase these foundational terms from state law, replacing “mother” with the clinical “gestating parent” and “father” with the soulless “non-gestating parent.” “Paternity” becomes “parentage,” and “putative father” yields to “alleged parent.” This Orwellian rewrite now sits on Governor Kathy Hochul’s desk.[snip]Mothers gestate and give birth; fathers provide the other half of the biological equation.
Obama’s Hideous Monument to Hubris
16 replies
When the Democrats nominated Barack Obama to represent their party in the 2008 presidential election many voters consoled themselves with this thought: “Well, at least it’s not Hillary.” Unfortunately, preventing her from taking up residence in the White House was the last useful thing he did for the country. Indeed, from the moment he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize during his first year in office—before he could possibly have done anything noteworthy—it became clear that there would be a huge gap between his actual accomplishments and the celebration of his presidency.
