The 2024 Honda CBR650R is equipped with Honda’s new E-Clutch system, which removes the need to use the clutch lever at all. Find out how it feels to ride the CBR650R and CB650R with E-Clutch in our video review. (Photo courtesy American Honda) The 2024 Honda CB650R naked and CBR650R full-faired sportbike receive upgrades, most significantly the introduction of Honda’s new and innovative E-Clutch system. From the same company that introduced the Dual-Clutch Transmission in 2010, the E-Clutch removes the need for the rider to use the clutch at all, requiring only shifting up or down with the foot shifter. The clutch remains operational for riders who choose to use it, and the E-Clutch system can be set to three different operational feel settings. To experience this new clutch system and other upgrades in action, we travel to Dahlonega, Georgia, where we put the bikes through their paces at Atlanta Motorsports Park and on curvy roads in northern Georgia. For seasoned riders, getting accustomed to a new clutch system can take time, but once we had a few miles with it, the real fun began.

A new New York Times poll has Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump narrowly edging out his Democrat opponent, Kamala Harris.

Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton announced on Monday that she is now “cancer free.” 

Former President George W. Bush will not be endorsing a candidate ahead of the upcoming 2024 presidential election.

Kamala Harris’s campaign, which does all her speaking for her, is now defending the most violent gang from Venezuela, Tren de Aragua. The transnational gang sells children to be raped and recently tried to kill someone in Aurora, Colorado. They are popping up nationwide and have a foothold in major cities like Miami, Manhattan, and […] The post Kamala’s Staff Defends Venezuela’s Most Dangerous Gang appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

On Saturday, the Los Angeles Times published an opinion column titled: “They say Democrats are to blame for all California’s problems. But GOP is MIA.” Knowing that California has been controlled by Democrats for decades, social media users on X blasted the outlet, with Republicans in The Golden State offering the harshest critique. Jennifer Van Laar, an investigative journalist for RedState based in California, said Democrats “shut down [GOP] mics in the legislature and refuse to bring our bills out of committee.” “We’re not MIA. We’ve been shut out of governing,” she added. AYFKM? They shut down our mics in the legislature and refuse to bring our bills out of committee. We’re not MIA. We’ve been shut out of governing https://t.co/xg5QqmeNA9 — Jennifer Van Laar (@jenvanlaar) September 7, 2024 Kevin Dalton, a former candidate for Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors for District 1, provided a chart showing Democrats in the state have a supermajority in both the state Senate and Assembly. In the state Senate, Democrats hold 31 out of 40 seats, or 77.5% of Senate seats. In the Assembly, they hold 62 out of 80 seats, or 77.5%.

Dalton followed up his tweet with a video showing that since 1992, Democrats have held a trifecta (governorship, Senate, Assembly of state control 19 years while Republicans only once (in 1996) held more than one chamber (governor and Assembly). And since 2011, Democrats have had complete control of the state. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you.

Another suggests added context: “The article concedes that Democrats ‘deserve to be on the hot seat,’ but argues that it’s the GOP’s fault that the Democrats ‘hold every statewide elective office and dominate the Legislature,’ because they’re not inclusive/pro-choice enough to be elected.”

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley said during an interview that aired over the weekend that if communist China invades Taiwan the impact on the global economy will be ten times larger than the impact from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Haley made the remarks during an interview on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” with Margaret Brennan while talking about the threat China poses to the world. She discussed a recent trip she took to Taiwan where she learned about how they are preparing militarily for a potential war with China, including by reducing investment in China, extending the length of required military service for 18-year-olds, and training with the U.S. “When it comes to our allies, when it comes to freedom-loving countries, we need to be the best friend to them that we can, because, if China takes Taiwan, what we saw with Russia and Ukraine, it affected 1 percent of GDP, and you saw the economy shake from that,” she said. “If China takes Taiwan, it would be 10 percent of the global GDP. That’s $10 trillion, compared to the $1 trillion in Ukraine. We need to care about that. We need to care about it from freedom. We need to care about it from the economy. We need to care about it from security.” She said that Americans should not assume that everything will be “OK” if the U.S. goes into isolationist mode and ignores Russian and Chinese aggression.
