Vice President Kamala Harris gave her first solo interview on Wednesday, sitting down with friendly MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle for a 25-minute conversation about her policy positions ahead of the 2024 presidential election — but it missed the mark by such a wide margin that even The New York Times panned her performance. The article was benignly titled “3 Takeaways From Kamala Harris’s Interview on MSNBC,” but the sub-headline cut straight to the quick: “In her first one-on-one cable TV interview since becoming the nominee, the vice president repeatedly dodged direct questions and stuck firmly on message.” The three main takeaways from the interview — which was granted to Ruhle just days after the MSNBC anchor argued in defense of Harris not taking any difficult policy questions — were laid out by reporter Reid Epstein. First, he said, “Harris had roundabout answers to open-ended questions.” Epstein then mentioned a question Harris had been asked on the economy — specifically why it was that voters continued to tell pollsters that they trusted former President Donald Trump more than they trusted her when it came to handling economic policy. Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! Harris gave no answer to the direct question about why Trump was resonating more with voters, and instead claimed that he was responsible for lost manufacturing jobs among other things. Epstein’s second takeaway was Harris’ apparent unwillingness to consider the possibility that even in the event that she won the presidency, Democrats could lose control of the U.S. Senate. Harris ignored a direct question from Ruhle on that, too, and continued to tout policies that would certainly flounder in a Republican-controlled Senate. “But we’re going to have to raise corporate taxes. We’re going to have to make sure that the biggest corporations and billionaires pay their fair share. That’s just it. It’s about paying their fair share. I am not mad at anyone for achieving success, but everyone should pay their fair share,” she said. The final takeaway was as much a criticism of Ruhle and MSNBC as it was of Harris: “A hard-hitting Harris interview is still yet to come.” Epstein noted that while Harris had been more open to doing interviews in the last week or so — after weeks of simply hiding from the press — she still appeared unwilling to take any questions from anyone who might actually demand a substantive answer. “Her media strategy has been to sit with friendly inquisitors who are not inclined to ask terribly thorny questions or press her when her responses are evasive,” he wrote, adding, “It’s not quite clear what Ms. Harris gained, aside from giving her campaign aides the ability to say she held a one-on-one cable television interview.” Ruhle herself admitted that Harris had not really given straight answers to her questions — although she did not offer any apology for her failure to press the vice president with any follow-up questions.

Dolton, Illinois Mayor Tiffany Henyard, widely criticized as "America's worst mayor," is under scrutiny again after throwing an extravagant $85,000 party while facing multiple investigations into her spending practices. The August 17 event, “A Taste of Thornton Township,” featured performances by R&B singer Keke Wyatt and rapper J. Holiday, with each artist paid $25,000 for a 30-minute set. The party, funded largely by taxpayers, included $6,600 for children's inflatable attractions, but attracted a mere 60-70 attendees, leaving many questioning the value of the expense​. Henyard’s spending at the party adds to the mounting accusations of financial mismanagement during her term. The mayor has already been banned from using village credit cards except for board-approved purchases after racking up tens of thousands of dollars in questionable expenses, including lavish trips to Las Vegas and thousands spent at Amazon, Wayfair, and Best Buy. In response to the growing scandal, the Dolton trustees hired former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot to investigate the village’s finances, which revealed a deficit of $3.6 million under Henyard’s leadership. NEW: Dolton's 'Super Mayor' Tiffany Henyard threw an $85,000 party despite plunging her town's budget into debt and being cut off from state funds Tiffany Henyard, 41, spent $85,000 of taxpayer money on an event, including $50,000 for 60 minutes of performances and over $35,000… pic.twitter.com/Zm1Bbg0tzF — Unlimited L's (@unlimited_ls) September 10, 2024 The federal government is also conducting an investigation into Henyard’s alleged misuse of funds. However, despite widespread criticism and calls for her resignation from local residents, Henyard has shown no signs of stepping down. She defended her party by stating, “This is all for the babies,” as she live-streamed the event, dismissing the concerns of Dolton taxpayers. Many residents, however, remain angry. “That’s the people’s money,” Lansing resident Jennifer Robertz said, echoing the frustrations of many locals. The probe into Henyard’s finances is part of a broader investigation into her handling of public funds. Since taking office in 2021, Henyard has been accused of excessive and unauthorized use of village money. Before her election, Dolton had a $5.6 million surplus, but under Henyard’s leadership, the village is now grappling with a substantial deficit​. Wonder if @KeKeWyattSings and J. Holiday, know they were paid for with tax-payer money, and if they realize how shitty that is. If they have any integrity, they will return the money, and denounce Tiffany Henyard for this obvious abuse of tax-payer money. https://t.co/620VBEJJEM — RealJamesGrove (@RealJamesGrove) September 11, 2024 Some of Henyard’s more controversial expenses include $40,000 in Amazon purchases and an additional $10,000 spent at Wayfair and Best Buy, all charged to the village’s credit card. These transactions, along with her frequent travels, have triggered both local and federal investigations. Lightfoot’s audit, initiated by the Dolton trustees, was part of a larger effort to regain control over the town's finances, which have spiraled under Henyard's administration. While Henyard has not been charged with any crime yet, the ongoing investigations have raised significant concerns about the governance of Dolton. Even Dolton’s Deputy Police Chief Lewis Lacey, a Henyard ally, has been caught in a separate federal investigation, facing nine charges, including bankruptcy fraud. Many Dolton residents now wonder if Henyard will eventually face charges of her own, but for now, she remains defiant, continuing her duties as mayor despite widespread backlash. This latest incident, along with her history of financial mismanagement, has only solidified her reputation as "America's worst mayor" in the eyes of many Dolton residents and beyond.

Stephen Nedoroscik is back at it again with another remarkable performance on the DWTS stage. This time, he and his partner, Rylee Arnold, danced an incredible Paso Doble routine. The star has earned himself the nickname “Clark Kent” because of his resemblance to the comic book character, so the pair decided to play on that in their performance. They danced to Superman-Main Theme from Superman by John Williams, and the result was just spectacular. From Clark Kent To Superman, Stephen Nedoroscik Dominates “DWTS” The performance started with a quick change from Stephen Nedoroscik. He came out in a black suit, and after a brief smoke show, he was in a glittery red vest and pants with an American flag shirt underneath. Then, the Olympian shows off his impressive arm muscles before descending further down onto the stage. His partner, Rylee Arnold, met him on the dance floor sporting a stunning red gown. The pair then tore across the DTWS stage like two experts before Stephen Nedoroscik brought out some more of his famous gymnastics moves, flawlessly leaping through the air. The duo was perfectly in character the entire time and looked like they had laser focus. Then, they ended with an impressive dip. The crowd erupted in applause. The Internet Loves This Pair Each week the comments that come are very supportive of Stephen Nedoroscik and his DTWS performances. This week was no different. After Dancing With the Stars shared the performance on YouTube, fans rushed in to share their love for this Olympic athlete. One user wrote, “I love Stephen because he’s truly a non-dancer just LEARNING… and doing amazing!! And Rylee is really stepping up this season. If they continue like this they would deserve to win.” Another added, “Every time Stephen takes off his glasses, I know he is gonna slay us all, and then he did the knee walks had me screaming at the TV.” A third commented, “HOW IS THIS ONLY WEEK 2!?!?!?!?! So impressed by Stephen!” With his stage presence and skills already improving on week two fans cannot wait to see how Stephen Nedoroscik continues to improve through this DWTS season.

EXCLUSIVE: 'Wrote Her Off': Mother Of Abbey Gate Survivor Details Being Ghosted By Jill Biden During Son's Recovery

In mid-August 2010 this image of what seems to resemble the popular idea of Jesus appeared inside the layers of sealed glass on my patio door. Naturally occurring and real, I did not create this!"Dear, Lon. I'm a follower of your blog and appreciate what you do for us every day. I have a few things that might interest you or your readers. I don't know if the things that are going on are coincidence, but it's awfully odd.Several family members have seen what we figure is a shadow person. It's always seen in my basement right beside the electrical panel. The people who see it, are always afraid of it and they don't really have to be looking at it to know it's there, they can feel it watching them sleep. It seems that the shadow person cannot or does not leave the area, meaning it doesn't roam the basement, and it doesn't come upstairs. If you would like to hear their accounts, let me know and I'll collect them for you to read. There is a lot of fear around this entity. All of the people who have come in contact with this entity say that it has very unsettling and scary energy.I personally have seen out of the corner of my eye, something crossing my bedroom doorway, on many occasions. It seems to be just a flash of a dark shadow that catches my attention, and it seems to go in a right-to-left direction. I try to ignore it, then it happens again but in the opposite direction. It sounds weird for me to say, but it seems like a big dog, either a Doberman or a German Shepherd. I'm not afraid of it, per se, but I am unsure of the feelings I'm getting from the situation. While it's happening I feel as if I'm being guarded, yet, as if the big dog doesn't want me to leave the room. Like as if it's guarding me and scaring me to stay in my bedroom. Some nights it happens many times, the feelings and the shadowy glimpses from the corner of my eye.There are so many things happening here that you're gonna think I'm making this up, but I'm not, all of this is totally real!We were going to change our patio sliding door because it was starting to get cloudy. We thought there was mold starting to grow inside the thermal layers. Two days after discussing the door replacement and coming to the conclusion that we were going to change it, something weird happened.At first, I thought it was really ridiculous, yet it made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. I came up my steps into my kitchen and saw the full patio door with the sunlight shining through it. It was white light because the cloudiness in the patio door softened it, and made it glow. What I saw stopped me in my tracks and I just stood there for a minute looking at it. Stunned. It was a very clear depiction of a popular savior, Jesus (or at least how he's depicted in most images).The image was super clear, I could even see his facial features, cloak, and more.After a while, I decided to show people, and they were always left standing there with their mouths open, saying that it was a trick right and that I probably faked it somehow. The most interesting thing was watching the people's expressions go from "What the F" to "Oh my God!", and then for some reason, fear settles into their faces.I decided to video this image and post it on my YouTube, to share it with others and see what their opinion was about it. I got a few emails about it, and people are somewhat scared about it. People have warned me to "Be careful", some say it is not from God, and some say it is from God. One person asked me to pray for them in front of it, I thought that was so beautiful, and I did pray for them.Personally, I feel a huge attraction to it, especially at sunset or sunrise, it glows with such an emotionally charged, beautiful light. It's stunning and somehow humbling at the same time. It can make you cry on occasion, it's so beautiful.Now, most people say that it seems to be morphing into the Grim Reaper, I can see changes, but the changes are strangely still adding to the image. The condensation hasn't destroyed the image after two years. In fact, the image has dried and seems kind of calcified onto the glass on the inside sealed layers. This is real, we have not faked this in any way. It is open for anyone to investigate!I've included a video link so you can have an idea of what this looks like.Apparition of Jesus image on inside sealed layers of thermal glass inside patio door: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=k98tZaonSrwNOTE: Perceived manifestations of deities or religious figures do fascinate me.
