Wikipedia insists Kamala Harris' father Donald Harris isn't a Marxist, based on a New York Times article which says no such thing
DEI-obsessed US Secret Service director resigns after she was "blasted" lol
Trump, who is the Republican nominee for president, narrowly avoided being killed in the shooting by 20-year-old gunman Thomas Crooks. One rally attended died in the shooting, and two men were critically injured.

The chaos and division Joe's bad debate spawned is the real force driving Democrats' headlong rush to settle for Harris and end the bad publicity of the drama
Democrats seem more intent now to cut out the drama before the convention and settle on Biden’s chosen successor, Harris. ... The DNC is still pursuing a virtual nomination of their presidential ticket ahead of the convention that begins in nearly a month, with a presidential candidate to be decided by Aug. 7.

Bloomberg is reporting Kamala Harris has the nomination clinched
Kamala Harris has more than enough pledged delegates to clinch the Democratic presidential nomination, following an extraordinary two-day blitz that saw the vice president consolidate her party’s backing to challenge Donald Trump in November.
Harris sealed her status as the presumptive nominee Monday night after crossing the magic number of 1,976 pledged delegates, according to an unofficial Associated Press tally. While delegates who indicated their support are not required to back her nomination, the achievement — and lack of credible opposition — underscores the vice president’s hold on the Democratic ticket.

But look at those big stretches of light blue in places like New York, Michigan, and Illinois, among others. The resistance to Kamala Harris is real, even in California.
Democrats were lied to by Biden about the necessity of a virtual roll call of delegates by Aug 7, and now that he's out Democrats are still lying about it
There is no need for a virtual roll call before the convention, unless you're trying to stop debate.
Ohio moved its deadline to Aug 23, after the Democrat convention.
This happened AT THE END OF MAY already lol.
With the passage of the Biden ballot fix in the state, the DNC plan in not necessary -- however the DNC said it is planning to move forward with its virtual roll call nomination of Biden ahead of Aug. 7, Ohio's original deadline.
Delegates to the Democratic Convention in Chicago can't speak freely in the Democrat Party for fear of being removed by the gang leaders
The fix was in already on Sunday after Biden withdrew and endorsed Kamala Harris.
All 50 state chairs of the party quickly asserted their endorsement of Harris, according to Reuters.
But the blessed GRAUNIAD found out the truth: Delegates who aren't down for the Harris Cause fear having their delegate status revoked by those state chairs.
It's a gang, not democracy.
Delegates are, by and large, local volunteers expected to spend thousands of dollars to fly to Chicago and attend the convention. It’s often viewed as a reward for activism and dedication, but it’s typically a far less consequential role than it might be next month.
One delegate who isn’t yet old enough to drink expressed his mounting anxiety about how things are unfolding and how little has been predictable.
“I’m a young, young person,” said the delegate, who requested anonymity because he feared being replaced by his state chair. “This is my first convention … And this is scary. It’s super anxiety-inducing, and crazy, and so much.”

Democracy dies in darkness.

Did VP Harris develop a long-term strategy to stem the tide of migration?
... Harris
is tasked with overseeing diplomatic efforts to deal with issues
spurring migration in the Northern Triangle countries of El Salvador,
Guatemala and Honduras, as well as pressing them to strengthen
enforcement on their own borders, administration officials said. She’s
also tasked with developing and implementing a long-term strategy that
gets at the root causes of migration from those countries. ...
For Harris, the assignment gives her the first big opportunity to step to the front of the stage on a matter of enormous consequence for the administration. As the first Black woman elected vice president, Harris arrived on the job as a trailblazer. It has remained opaque how Biden would utilize her.

CrowdStrike's George Kurtz has in common the forgotten McAfee glitch which took down computers in 2010, the controversial DNC hack investigation of 2016, and now Friday's global IT glitch
Other security companies have had similar episodes in the past. McAfee's buggy antivirus update in 2010 stalled hundreds of thousands of computers.
“CrowdStrike is actively working with customers impacted by a defect found in a single content update for Windows hosts,” George Kurtz, CEO of CrowdStrike, said in a post on the social platform X. “Mac and Linux hosts are not impacted.”
Quoted here.
April 30, 2016: CrowdStrike was contacted by the DNC outside counsel to discuss a suspected breach. This was CrowdStrike’s first involvement in this matter. (p6)
