Something startling happened this week: White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre's remarks proved true and insightful. As usual, this came as an unintended side effect.
A New York Times/Sienna poll found that "men under 30 are much more likely to support" Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump over Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris - especially when compared to women in the same age group. The outlet added, "In interviews with young men planning to vote for Mr. Trump, they described feeling unvalued. They said it had become harder to be a man. They valued strength in a president."
We are really bad at goodness. For us, goodness goes badly a good portion of the time. We're told by our parents to "be good" when they're dropping us off at friend's house, and whether or not they find out, we've usually behaved badly. At our work from time to time, we do a good job, but it never lasts - we have to do it again or things will go badly. It's a constant struggle to stem the slippage from goodness toward the bad.
Just days after Vice President Kamala Harris declined to answer whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was an ally of the U.S., White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted that Israel's security has the Biden-Harris administration's "continued support." Experts say the administration and the Harris campaign continue to shift positions on their support of the Jewish state depending on political expediency.
The U.S. Department of Justice on Tuesday indicted an Afghan national living in Oklahoma City "for conspiring to conduct an Election Day terrorist attack in the United States on behalf of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), a designated foreign terrorist organization (FTO)." Along with his wife's juvenile brother, Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi plotted to attack "large gatherings of people" and "die as martyrs."
The pornography industry often makes headlines related to human trafficking, child sexual exploitation, or social media regulations, but this time it's in the news for running political ads. With less than a month to go before the presidential election, a coalition of pornography producers, distributors, and "performers" is running ads online, encouraging porn users to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.
