Women are going to protect the country from Donald Trump, whether he likes it or not.

Jimmy Carter's 1976 Presidential victories began when he showed surprising strength in -- wait for it -- Iowa.

Wow. Harris op winst in Iowa! Opzienbarende peiling uit een staat die Trump in zijn zak leek te hebben. Vrouwen zijn hem helemaal zat. Een voorteken voor de landelijke uitslag ?
The Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll shows Kamala Harris picking up support from women to surpass Donald Trump in Iowa, a ruby-red state he has won twice. Details: desmoinesregister.com/story/…

There is censorship over every Israel media outlet. Israel does not allow foreign journalists to report from Gaza. They have killed a many Gazan journalists and are threatening to assassinate the few who remain. Still, the magnitude of the atrocities will continue to surface:
“He told me to take them. In the next attack, use them as a human shield.” An IDF soldier and five former Palestinian detainees tell CNN that the Israeli military has used civilians as human shields in Gaza, as @JDiamond1 reports.

Vanavond te gast bij @nieuwsuur over de briljante film The Apprentice. Heb zowel leerling Donald Trump als zijn leermeester Roy Cohn ooit ontmoet, en schreef er deze substack post over: substack.com/home/post/p-150…
Donald who? Watch the new trailer for #TheApprentice, starring Sebastian Stan as a young entrepreneur and Jeremy Strong as his mentor. In cinemas October 18th.

Elon Musk pretends to be a champion for free speech. He criticizes the Brazilian judge, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, and European policies. But I have yet to see him utter a single word of disapproval on Russia and China, where Twitter is banned.

Exactly the right decision by the Brazilian court: Musk’s days of spreading disinformation and monetising hate are coming to an end. The digital disinformation militias will no longer be able to function. Now let’s see the European Union follow suit. theguardian.com/technology/a…

Musk is the only person responsible for X being suspended in Brazil, not the government nor the judges are at fault. Elon Musk chose this path and it's 100% on him.

REPORTER TO BIDEN: "President Trump has said repeatedly that he could've gotten the hostages out without giving anything in exchange. What do you say to that?" BIDEN: "Why didn't he do it when he was president?"

Q: You have pushed false claims about people like President Barack Obama, saying he was not born in the United States, which is not true. You have told four congresswomen, women of color who were American citizens, to go back to where they came from. You have used words like ‘animal’ to describe Black district attorneys. You've attacked Black journalists, calling them a loser, saying the questions that they ask are quote, ‘stupid and racist.’ You've had dinner with a white supremacist at Mar-a-Lago. So my question, sir, now that you are asking Black supporters to vote for you, why should Black voters trust you after you have used language like that? Trump: Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner

Kamela Harris lijkt al zeker van de nominatie. Haar belangrijkste rivalen voor de kandidatuur hebben zich nu allemaal achter haar geschaard. Met dank aan Joe Biden, die haar als eerste zijn steun gaf en zo een opvolgingsstrijd binnen de Democratische partij heeft afgewend.
Today, not only am I fired up to endorse @KamalaHarris for President of the United States, I’m proud to serve as a co-chair of her campaign. In Vice President Harris, Michigan voters have a candidate they can count on to lower their costs, protect their freedoms, and build an economy that works for working people. Donald Trump is a convicted felon who stokes violence, overturned Roe, and drove our economy into the ground. We cannot let him anywhere near the White House. Vice President Harris, you have my full support. Let’s win this.

I feel so sad for Donald Trump (The oldest nominee in US history). Why is Melania and his children allowing him to stay in this race? It's elder abuse and they should be ashamed of themselves. I mean, just look at his posts on Truth Social rambling on about Joe Biden, who isn't even in the race.

IJzersterke anti-Trump spot van Kamela Harris die ze gebruikte in haar campagne in 2020. Kan zo weer de buis op!

De Clintons steunen Kamela Harris. Nu de Obamas nog. Dan wordt de gevreesde chaos binnen de Democratische partij vrijwel zeker voorkomen.

Thats It. I'm saying it! “My God, Trump is an idiot”. He is “noxious,” “reprehensible,” and a “cynical as-hole”. He is "America's Hitler”. “I never liked him”. He is a “terrible candidate,” and you are all “idiots if you voted for him”. He is “cultural heroine,” and obnoxious. “What percentage of the American population has Donald Trump sexually assaulted?” By the way I would never say some of these things about Trump… but J.D.Vance has.

The American media are "producing an avalanche of stories suggesting Biden is unfit, will lose and should go away, at a point in the campaign in which replacing him would likely be somewhere between extremely difficult and utterly catastrophic." tinyurl.com/4k8vd688

I’m old enough to remember when debates questioned Reagan’s mental fitness… talk about ‘sharp as a tack’!
