A reporter asked Kamala Harris about her running mate’s false claims about his rank and claims he served in war. She responded: ‘Listen, I praise anyone who has presented themselves to serve our country. And I think that we all should.’ This week, Harris’ campaign was forced to make an embarrassing edit to his biography as […] The post Kamala Comments on Walz’s Stolen Valor appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

“Baywatch” star Pamela Anderson discussed her effort to change her public image from the “cartoon character” she says she has created. The 57-year-old Canadian-born model and actress is best known for appearing in Playboy magazine in the 90s, multiple breast implant surgeries, and her standout role as C.J. Parker on “Baywatch.” Anderson also went viral in 1995 after a sex tape of her and then-husband, Tommy Lee, was stolen and distributed. The actress surprised fans recently by making public appearances without makeup, which is a far departure from the sex symbol, makeup-heavy look she’d become known for. Anderson discussed changing her look while promoting her upcoming cookbook. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI The interviewer from Better Homes & Gardens asked specifically about Anderson going makeup-free, to which she replied, “That was the beginning of me letting go of the image I had always had of myself. What is this cartoon character that I’d created? OK, that was fun. But I’m not that person anymore.” She continued, “It was a dance I was doing that I was only partly aware of. And looking back, I can see why I did it. But I’ve always been into being a homemaker too.” The actress said, “All the kids were always at our house. I cooked for everybody, pots of spaghetti for the neighborhood, and so my kids have always seen that part of me. And it hurt them to think that those other things are the only things people think of their mom. Yes, she’s been in Playboy. Yes, she’s done all these things, but we know who she is. It’s different now.” Anderson also discussed what it was like for her before. “I don’t know what happened over the last few decades, but I feel now so far removed from the image of who I was. I felt very sad and lonely,” she told BHG. “I didn’t feel just misunderstood. I felt like I had really screwed up, that my whole life was a bundle of mistakes,” the former “Baywatch” star added. “I was hard on myself, and I thought I put my family through a lot and put my kids through so much. I came to a point where I decided to move home and disappear and get into my garden.”

A coalition of conservative groups is warning Big Tech companies to heed the lessons of 2020, and avoid interfering in the upcoming presidential election. “In the 2020 election, we saw tech platforms bamboozled into performing extreme acts of censorship after a coordinated pressure campaign from government officials,” a coalition of more than 30 groups wrote to America’s 50 largest tech firms on Thursday. The coalition, led by the Media Research Center’s Free Speech Alliance, pointed in particular to tech platforms’ censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story. “The FBI had known of the laptop’s existence since December 2019 but met with many of your employees prior to the publication of the story to spike it. Unfortunately, several of your companies — in partnership with the Department of Homeland Security-affiliated Election Integrity Project — acquiesced to the FBI’s demands,” the letter reads. “Twitter (now X) locked the account of the New York Post. Facebook (now Meta) blocked links to the story from being shared. Both firms aggressively suppressed the reporting from their newsfeeds and reduced the visibility of accounts that reposted it,” it continues. Had Facebook and Twitter not suppressed the New York Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop, it may have hurt President Joe Biden at the polls. The FBI has since said that the laptop is real and that Hunter Biden was taking money from foreigners who sought to influence politicians. The fiasco led to apologies from Twitter and Facebook. But partisan activists who use claims of “misinformation” as weapons have only doubled down on their efforts. The letter recalled how Biden’s press secretary recently said videos of the president appearing senile were “cheap fakes” — a line the media took seriously before Biden’s debate performance made clear that the videos were entirely accurate. There are “disturbing” reasons to believe that tech firms haven’t learned their lesson, the coalition letter says. Google this month admitted that searches for President Donald Trump weren’t auto-completing in the search bar, and that searches for news about Trump would yield stories about Vice President Kamala Harris. Artificial intelligence models have become increasingly powerful and blatantly ideological, refusing to answer questions that don’t comport with left-wing ideology. Google had to take down the image capabilities of its Gemini AI tool after it erased white people from civilization. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI “Microsoft’s Bing, DuckDuckGo and especially Google Search are all burying the 2024 campaign website of Donald J. Trump while amplifying the website of his opponents. In the Media Research Center’s most recent study, Google was found to have completely hidden Trump’s website from the first fifty search results for the phrase ‘presidential campaign website,'” the letter said. The free speech coalition also notes that “Google interfered in the 2022 midterm elections by censoring Republican Senate candidates’ websites,” and that “Meta and Microsoft’s Xandr have worked with known left-wing censorship organizations like Ad Fontes and NewsGuard to discriminate in ad placement against conservative and right-leaning news organizations.” “Most major Big Tech companies, including Amazon, Apple, Google and Meta, continue to be members of the trade association NetChoice, which recently asked the Supreme Court to give all tech platforms carte blanche license to discriminate, even on the basis of race,” the letter says. The groups urged tech CEOs to  resist pressure from the Biden administration and “immediately disclose to the public when a government official asks for or demands the censorship of any American citizen.” They asked the tech firms to sign a pledge to “never censor a political campaign’s website” and “never employer or otherwise collude with for-profit censorship outfits like Ad Fontes and Newsguard.” “Our system of government and the ability for citizens to participate in it requires the unfettered, free flow of ideas. Any action you take to limit that speech in advance of the November election is an attack on the very essence of freedom,” the letter added. On Thursday, the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) disbanded, in a sign of growing acknowledgment that it is not possible for small activist groups or AI tools to meaningfully determine the truthfulness of news articles. Emails showed a top GARM member throwing a tantrum that Elon Musk opposed censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story.

The Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh has just changed another family’s life. Little Billie Kate is finally hearing her parents’ voice for the first time, which is the most precious moment. @rabolda44 Billie Kate hearing for the first time #babyhearingaids #hearingforthefirsttime #childrenshospitalofpittsburgh #momsofkidswithhearingloss ♬ original sound – April Rabold Baby Hears Parents Voices For The First Time At the beginning of the video, little Billie Kate is not a fan of her new hearing aids. You can see that she struggles against the woman putting them onto her ears. She waves her hands as if to push the woman away and has a face that seems to say, “What are you doing to me, woman?” Her little baby cries and gurgles become more and more audible as she tries to express his discomfort. That is until something amazing happens. As the hearing aids turn on, this baby begins to realize that she can hear herself, as well as those around her. Her mom notices that she can hear and says “Hi pretty girl” while tickling her feet. The baby looks at her mother with a look of surprise plastered on her face. She seems torn between pure joy and sheer confusion at being able to hear her mother’s voice. Her father then chimes in and asks her, “How are you doing?” The baby looks up and smiles at her father before staring straight ahead with her little fingers in her mouth. Pure Joy As Baby Finally Hears Her Parents After hearing her parents’ voices, this baby seems to need a minute to herself. It appears as if she is contemplating all of the sounds that she can now hear. Her mother tries to get her attention with another foot tickle as she says, “Billie, you want to look over here now?” Eventually, as this adorable baby hears her mom say “hi” again, she turns to face her. A huge smile blooms across as she finally realizes she can hear her mommy talking to her. The viewers are loving this precious moment almost as much as Billie herself. One comment read, “Babies hearing for the first time will always get me.” Another comment mentioned, “Did anyone notice how the nurse stopped talking, so she could hear her parents first?” This heartwarming moment was so precious for all those who saw it, we are so happy for Billie and her family.

When a kind-hearted soul rescued a litter of kitties trapped in a duct taped box, they never imagined one of these animals would turn out to be such an unusual find. Among the four adorable kittens inside the container, one of them had an extra pair of ears! True Rescue in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, has been telling the story of how they acquired the unique animal. According to staff, this mutation is “extremely rare.” In a video on Facebook, True Rescue shared some footage of the rescued kitten with four ears. They explained that the poor cat and his siblings had been sealed inside a box “with no air holes” to suffocate! Thankfully, someone discovered the abandoned kitties and transported them to the shelter. That’s when staff realized that one of the four animals wasn’t quite like the others. Facebook True Rescue included a close-up of the kitten’s four ears in the Facebook post. Apparently, the feline has a pair of normal-looking ears with two extras inside. These secondary ears are very small and face the opposite direction. In another post, the shelter revealed that they’d come up with the perfect name for the kitten with four ears: Audio! They also shared that, thankfully, this unusual genetic mutation shouldn’t cause any health problems. Although this feline isn’t the only one of his kind, he’s still quite an outlier! “The last kitten we were able to find research about that had 4 ears came from Turkey and was from 2 years ago,” True Rescue wrote. “We will have him fully checked by a vet, but from what we know, the inner ear is completely normal and will cause no issues, other than having extra flaps to clean!” Facebook According to NewsNation, Audio couldn’t have come to the shelter at a better time. True Rescue has been struggling due to flooding issues. Having a rare, four-eared kitten has brought way more attention to the animal rescue online! Sadly, Audio isn’t quite ready to be adopted. He still needs further medical evaluation before that can happen. There are no plans to remove his extra ears, since they’re not hurting him at the moment. We hope this little guy ends up with a loving family that appreciates his unique feature! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

When stopping at a stoplight, the average person stares straight ahead and avoids all eye contact with those around them. Well, that is most definitely not the case with these two individuals. This heartwarming TikTok shows two people who are not afraid to belt it out and make some new friends. @a_matt2 Get you a bestie that will serenade strangers at a stoplight. #celinedion#FYPgirlsnight@@Camille Ard ♬ original sound – Amanda Celine Dion Car Duet The caption of this incredible video reads, “Get you a bestie that will serenade strangers at a spotlight.” After watching the video, I realized there is no word for what is happening other than serenading. The woman in the car, presumably the bestie, leans out of the car window and begins to sing Celine Dion’s It’s All Coming Back To Me Now. While we cannot see her face, it is easy to tell from her body movements that she is giving the performance of a lifetime. She moves her arms and hands to the song’s beat and makes sweeping gestures with them towards her fellow dueter. We can see the other person involved in the Celine Dion car duet across the lane. He mimics her motions and holds his hands out wide as he belts right alongside her. The duet intensifies as the pair sing the lyrics, “There were nights of endless pleasure/It was more than any laws allow.” The gentleman in the car across the lane breaks character momentarily to laugh at the absurdity and sheer joy. He then joins in the belting of the lyrics: “Baby, baby/If I kiss you like this/And if you whisper like that/It was lost long ago/but it’s all coming back to me.” At this point, every person in the car joins in on the fun! It’s All Coming Back To Me Now When the song was released, I am sure that Celine Dion did not imagine it being used for stoplight karaoke. Nevertheless, it was popular when it was released and remains popular today. One thing that this song, It’s All Coming Back To Me Now, teaches us in this video is that a little kindness goes a long way. These two made each other’s day and all of ours. Maybe this will be the new TikTok trend!? Next time you are at a stop light, try serenading your neighbor with some Celine Dion Car Karokee. The source of the featured image can be found here.
