Former First Lady Michelle Obama has hit the campaign trail for Vice President Kamala Harris — but critics are panning her 11th-hour sales pitch as “racist” and “sexist” and saying that her words reveal more about her than they do about Harris. Obama ignored the possibility that Harris — who catapulted to the top of the Democratic ticket on the tidal wave of President Joe Biden’s ouster from the race — was simply a weak and unlikable candidate, and instead argued that the voters were the only possible weak link in the chain. That, she claimed, was the result of racism and sexism in the electorate. WATCH: ?Michele Obama suggests Americans who don’t vote to elect Kamala Harris are sexist and racist: “I lay awake at night wondering what in the world is going on. The qustion for me isn't whether Kamala is ready for this moment…the real question is, as a country, are we ready for… pic.twitter.com/4Muun9vhZ2 — Steve Cortes (@CortesSteve) October 26, 2024 “I gotta ask myself, why on earth is this race even close?” Obama began. “I lay awake at night wondering what in the world is going on. And it’s clear to me that the question isn’t whether Kamala is ready for this moment because by every measure, she has demonstrated that she’s ready. The real — the real question is, as a country, are we ready for this moment?” “Poor Michele. America is always disappointing her,” Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume said, referencing the former first lady’s claim that she could finally be proud of the United States after her husband was elected the first black president.

It’s America. Tiresome schtick,” Guy Benson added. The problem isn’t their phony, extreme, deeply unimpressive candidate, you see. It’s America. Tiresome schtick. https://t.co/aJ3wo398Gh — Guy Benson (@guypbenson) October 26, 2024 Obama didn’t stop with just that, however. She went on to trash Trump repeatedly, suggesting that his supporters were at the very least “indifferent” to all of the terrible things he would bring with him into the Oval Office if elected to a second term. “I hope that you will forgive me if I’m a little frustrated that some of us are choosing to ignore Donald Trump’s gross incompetence while asking Kamala to dazzle us at every turn. I hope that you will forgive me if I’m a little angry that we are indifferent to Donald Trump’s erratic behavior. His obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slumlord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse. All of this while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn’t even have the courage to do,” she said on a Michigan stage just hours after Trump’s three-hour Joe Rogan interview — which Harris refused to do — went live. .@MichelleObama: I hope that you will forgive me if I'm a little angry that we are indifferent to Donald Trump’s erratic behavior.

What we want is for her to spit out two coherent sentences that reflect ANY evidence — any at all — of a deep thinking, considered, authentic person,” she said. Expecting Kamala to “dazzle” us?

Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) said during an interview over the weekend that the reason that war has erupted throughout the Middle East over the last year is that the Biden-Harris administration did not enforce sanctions on Iran. Vance made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” with host Margaret Brennan when asked what a Trump-Vance administration would do in the Middle East. “I think it’s reasonable to support Israel as it deals with this extremely unprovoked attack from Iran,” he said. “And let’s step back a little bit here, because the reason that Iran has all of these weapons to fire at Israel is because they have a lot of money. And where do they get that money from? From the easing of oil sanctions and from the release of a lot of money that the Biden-Harris administration had effectively locked up.” “They released it, and the promise of releasing it is that somehow it would make the Iranians a better partner, would maybe get them a little bit more on the trajectory to being a reasonable country,” he continued. “That’s not happening.” Vance’s remarks come after the Islamic regime has earned nearly $200 billion in illegal oil revenue over the course of the Biden-Harris administration. More than half of the country’s oil revenue goes toward its military and its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — a branch of its military that has been designated as a terrorist organization — is getting its funding tripled because of the oil revenue. Brennan, a leftist, advocated for the Biden-Harris administration, claiming that they were tightening up sanctions enforcement on Iran. “They’re going in the other direction after making a big mistake, and that big mistake was to empower Iran financially to afford a lot of weapons that they’re now firing, not just at the Israelis, but also at us,” Vance said. “And they’re also arming the Houthis, and that’s obviously affecting global trade. So I think the first and biggest mistake, the thing that we need to change, is we need to stop giving the Iranians money that they use to make ourselves and our allies weaker in the region.” Asked if he would support pulling some U.S. troops out of the Middle East, as former President Donald Trump tried to do when he was in office, Sen. JD Vance says: “I don’t think that we should be taking assets out of the Middle East at a time when our most important ally in the… pic.twitter.com/nLSsJW3OZc — Face The Nation (@FaceTheNation) October 27, 2024

At 29, Tallulah Willis finally found clarity when she was diagnosed with autism, and now Rumer Willis is praising her “extraordinary sister” for “building a community” for others who have been overlooked. Tallulah, now 30, revealed her diagnosis in March 2024. After a lifetime of struggles and misdiagnosis, she admitted that learning about her autism “changed [her] life.” “It was a relief,” she said during a September apperance on Today. “If I’m being honest, I really hated myself. And I thought I was very broken, so to learn that the elements of myself that I felt were maladies or wrong or just too much for this world are actually OK, and they just require maybe a little bit more tools.” On October 24, Rumer took the stage at the Autism Speaks Los Angeles Gala—where her sister was honored for her advocacy—and shared her pride for Tallulah’s journey to self-awareness. View this post on Instagram A post shared by tallulah willis (@buuski) “From the very start, she stood out — not just for her creativity, which was wild and boundless, but for the way she seemed to exist on a slightly different frequency from the rest of us,” she began. “While other kids were coloring inside the lines, she was busy inventing her own worlds. And honestly, most of us were lucky just to keep up.” Rumer Willis went on to explain that Tallulah also had sensitivities that were difficult to navigate. Autism gave her “a way of experiencing the world that was both beautiful and, at times, overwhelming.” “Things most people never think about — textures, noises, crowded rooms — could feel like insurmountable hurdles,” she continued. Tallulah Willis Is Dedicated To “Building A Community” For Others With Autism Growing up, Rumer struggled to watch her sister find solutions. Because she was misdiagnosed, “it was like she had all the ingredients for peace but was stuck trying to make a recipe without the instructions.” When Tallulah learned the truth, it was like a “homecoming.” Rumer said Tallulah finally had “permission” to be herself “without apology or explanation.” Because of that, she quickly grew into herself, and Rumer admitted that the transformation was “breathtaking.” “It’s like watching someone finally exhale after holding their breath for years,” she gushed. “She’s found comfort in her skin, not by changing who she is, but by embracing it fully — quirks, sensitivities and all.” The experience has led Talluah Willis to help others like her. She is focused on “building a community” where others, “especially women, who are often overlooked,” can find “understanding and belonging.” “This isn’t work for her,” Rumer noted. “It’s a deep calling to show up and be of service. And she’s already making an impact that will resonate far beyond tonight.” This story’s featured image is by Ovidiu Hrubaru via Shutterstock.

As the result of the airing of 'The Mothman Revisited' episode in Season 4 of 'Unsolved Mysteries,' the producers collected reports from the viewers and forwarded the information to us.The witnesses are being contacted to establish and confirm details of the sightings/encounters. If further information is received, it will be added to the report. We have received worldwide inquiries as well. The incidents specifically reported in the Chicagoland region can be found at the Chicago / Lake Michigan Winged Humanoid Regional Interactive MapThe original report:"I just wanted to tell you of an event that happened to me when I was around 12 years old. I witnessed what I believe to be the Mothman. This occurred in Wanatah, Indiana around 1996. I was awoken out of bed for some unknown reason and found myself telling me that I had left something of great importance outside the front of the house. I went out to get the item and while out there heard a noise on the side of the house. When I went to look I saw a dark shape with red eyes that appeared around 7 feet off the ground.I quickly ran back inside and watched to see if anything attempted to come into the porch but all I heard was a loud woosh and then nothing else. Felt like it was compelling me to come outside. Oddly enough, that house ended up burning to the ground not long after this occurred. I never thought of it being connected. Being that it's referred to as a bad omen, who knows." EWI later spoke to the witness by telephone:Earl W. contacted me by telephone after I had written to him. In the summer of 1996, when Earl was 12 years old, he had been sleeping in the back room of his house on South Haskell Rd. in Wanatah, Indiana. It was a dark, early morning when he had been awakened by an unknown sensation that he had left something important in the yard. He got up and walked out onto the porch.He began to walk in the yard toward the 7-foot tall fence which was about 30 feet away from the side of the house. That is when he noticed a 7-8 foot tall, dark-colored upright humanoid, with large long slits for eyes that projected a bright red light. As he walked toward it he began to realize how big the creature was, and then froze.Earl saw an outline of large wings on its back, but he never observed the wings unfurl. He also saw chest muscle definition and heard 3 bumping repetitive sounds emanating from the being. Then the winged humanoid quickly ascended upwards, flying away with a loud 'whooshing' sound. The South Haskell Rd. house burned to the ground soon afterward.Later, a neighbor told him that he had seen other strange beings in the woods behind his house. Whatever it was had tore open fox traps and stole the animals. After the house had burned down, Earl continued to hunt squirrels in the same woods. On at least two occasions, after bagging squirrels, Earl would leave the game in a secure location while he continued hunting. Each time, he returned to collect the squirrel carcasses, he saw trees branches, and bushes moving, discovering the squirrels had been taken.Years later, after Earl married, he moved to Wayne Drive in LaPorte, Indiana. Since then, he has continued to experience unexplained activity in and around the property.NOTE:  The witness was very forthcoming and direct. It appears that Earl is highly intuitive and that he still experiences the sensation of unknown entities around him. These feelings are similar to those that other winged humanoid witnesses have expressed to me over the years, especially in the Chicagoland region.
