    90% of “blacks for Trump” online is white people in digital blackface, bots, self-hating tap dancing, and low IQ grifters

    NPR reporter Eric Deggans revealed in an X post on Saturday that ABC host Rachel Scott received death threats following her widely publicized interview with former President Donald Trump at the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago. “At a membership meeting today, NABJ’s executive director said ABC’s Rachel Scott had received death threats following her work asking incisive questions of Donald Trump at the groups national convention Wednesday,” Deggans wrote.

    If you want to move further in the direction of Venezuela or Cuba, vote Kamala.

    Harris and the First Amendment
    The Supreme Court rebuked her use of lawfare in California.
    By The Editorial Board
    Aug. 4, 2024 at 5:27 pm ET

    We keep looking for an issue, any issue, on which Kamala Harris differs with the Democratic left, but we keep coming up empty. That includes her party’s use of lawfare against political opponents, as an episode while she was California Attorney General reminds us.

    Ms. Harris made headlines a decade ago by threatening to punish nonprofit groups that refused to turn over unredacted donor information. She demanded they hand to the state their federal IRS Form 990 Schedule B in the name of discovering “self dealing” or “improper loans.” The real purpose was to learn the names of conservative donors and chill future political giving—that is, political speech.

    Her bullying came amid the Internal Revenue Service’s notorious targeting of conservative nonprofits; Wisconsin’s probe of GOP donors; Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin’s intimidation of donors to the American Legislative Exchange Council; and a campaign of harassment against donors who supported California’s Prop 8 (which banned same-sex marriage).

    Free-market nonprofits challenged the Harris dragnet, suing the AG’s office in a case that went to the U.S. Supreme Court. In Americans for Prosperity Foundation v. Bonta in 2021, the High Court ruled 6-3 that the AG’s disclosure demand broke the law. The Court pointed out that a lower court had found not “a single, concrete instance in which pre-investigation collection of a Schedule B did anything to advance the Attorney General’s investigative, regulatory or enforcement efforts.”

    The Court said California’s claim that it would protect donor information lacked credibility, since during the litigation plaintiffs discovered nearly 2,000 Schedule B forms “inadvertently posted to the Attorney General’s website.” It noted that the petitioners and donors faced “threats” and “retaliation.”

    The Supreme Court said Ms. Harris’s policy posed a risk of chilling free-speech rights, and it cited its 1958 NAACP v. Alabama precedent, which protected First Amendment “associational” rights. Ms. Harris is citing her experience as state AG as a political asset, but the Bonta case is a warning to voters that she’s willing to use the law as a weapon against political opponents.

    Lawfare has failed as a political strategy against Donald Trump while undermining public confidence in impartial justice. Ms. Harris’s record suggests she’ll continue down this abusive road.

    Appeared in the August 5, 2024, print edition as 'Harris and the First Amendment'.

    That is such a ridiculous right wing comment. There are plenty of reasons for high food prices around the world, from the war in Ukraine to crops devastated by natural disasters, and more. Try reading this article. We are nothing like Venezuela and Cuba and never will be, whether you say that crap or not.

    Food prices have been pushed up by several crises such as India's rice export ban which saw prices of 20-pound bags surge from $16 to $50 in some stores.

    Similarly, orange juice production has been hammered by crop disease and hurricanes in Florida - meaning prices are now triple what they were in 2020.

    Russia's invasion of Ukraine - and subsequent trade restrictions - also pushed up the cost of grain and fertilizer.

    How does US food inflation compare to the rest of the world? Fascinating map reveals which countries are seeing prices rise fastest

    We are already taking steps to address corporate greed and price gouging. That's a good step forward.
