Los Angeles is going carless for the 2028 Olympic Games.

Ukraine is still trying to start World War III. They need to stop making demands.

The request came on Tuesday after the Mexican embassy in Moscow […] The post Ukraine Demanded Mexico Arrest President Putin appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Trump VP pick JD Vance mocked VP Kamala Harris on Friday over both her poor job as the Biden administration’s “border czar” and her continued refusal to take real questions from reporters. “If we could convince Kamala Harris that illegal aliens are actually journalists trying to ask her questions she’d build that border wall in five seconds,” Vance posted to X.

If we could convince Kamala Harris that illegal aliens are actually journalists trying to ask her questions she’d build that border wall in five seconds. — JD Vance (@JDVance) August 9, 2024 Notably, Harris, the Democrats’ effective 2024 presidential nominee, has reportedly never spoken to either Border Patrol chief during her tenure as VP and did not actually visit the border until June of 2021. NBC News host Lester Holt famously confronted Harris about why she hadn’t made her way down to the border. “We are going to the border,” Harris insisted. “We’ve been to the border. This whole thing about the border – we’ve been to the border. We’ve been to the border.” “You haven’t been to the border,” Holt responded. “And I haven’t been to Europe,” Harris answered.

Earlier this month, Vance posted to X, “Our border czar Kamala Harris opened up the border by design. Now real people are suffering.” WATCH BEN SHAPIRO’S ‘SCAMALA: KAMALA HARRIS UNMASKED’ ON DAILYWIRE+ The Ohio senator’s comment captioned a video clip of Vance at the border, again taking on Harris. “They stopped deportations on Day One,” he says in the video. “They stopped construction of the border wall on Day One. … They reinstated catch-and-release and they stopped Remain-in-Mexico … these policies cause real human beings to suffer.” WATCH: Senator @JDVance TORCHES Border Czar Kamala Harris ? “They stopped deportations on Day One.

Notably, the VP staked out far-Left positions during her failed 2020 run. She voiced support for the controversial Green New Deal, said she’d issue a total ban on fracking, supported gun confiscation, and the elimination of private health insurance, for example. Now, however, Harris’ team has claimed she’s backed away from those positions and is moderate. Related: ‘Yeah, I Am Radical’: New Trump Ad Use Kamala’s Own Words Against Her

Speaking at a packed rally on Friday night in Montana, former President Donald Trump lamented the death of a Nashville business owner who police say was killed by an illegal immigrant from Mexico in a deadly hit-and-run. During his rally, Trump spoke about 42-year-old Matt Carney, a restaurant owner who died in Nashville on July 4 after police say he was struck by a truck on June 19 driven by 29-year-old illegal immigrant Ulises Martinez. Martinez’s immigration status was first reported by The Daily Wire last month with ICE saying that he entered the country at an unknown date and location. Trump, who has frequently warned of a “migrant crime wave,” spoke about Carney’s death as he listed a number of violent crimes illegal immigrants have been arrested for in recent months. “They’re coming from prisons, they’re coming from jails, they’re coming from all over the place,” Trump said Friday during his rally in Bozeman. “Every day, Kamala is letting migrant criminals roam free to assault, rape, mutilate, and kill our citizens.” “Look at what’s happening to our cities. Our cities are being overrun,” Trump said. “On July 4th, a 42-year-old Nashville man died after he tried to stop an illegal alien from stealing tools out of his truck. The illegal alien did a number on this man that nobody could even believe. The police officers said one of the most vicious crimes they’ve ever seen.” “He was thrown from the hood of the illegal’s pickup truck and left to die in the street after being beat to hell,” Trump said. WATCH BEN SHAPIRO’S ‘SCAMALA: KAMALA HARRIS UNMASKED’ ON DAILYWIRE+ According to police, Carney was struck on June 19 by a truck in the parking lot of his popular Nashville-based smoke chicken restaurant and bar Smokin Thighs after he attempted to stop Martinez and another illegal immigrant from stealing tools out of his truck. Carney died from his injuries on July 4. Prior to the hit-and-run, Martinez was charged in March over a previous incident after a police officer arrested him for driving a stolen vehicle and the officer saw him taking tools out of parked vehicles. The charges were dismissed after a Nashville judge said that prosecutors failed to prove probable cause. Martinez is currently being held in Davidson County Jail on multiple charges including criminal homicide, and his next hearing is scheduled for August 27. After discussing a number of victims of illegal immigrant crime, Trump promised to enact a “Trump mass deportation,” warning that illegal immigrants would continue to surge into the country if Vice President Kamala Harris is elected president in November. Trump has kept immigration a key part of his 2024 presidential campaign, calling out Harris’ performance as President Joe Biden’s “border czar.”

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s direct superior in the National Guard said this week that Walz went behind his back to get out of having to deploy to Iraq because Walz knew that he would have said no. Doug Julin — who oversaw Walz in the Minnesota National Guard as a more senior command sergeant in the 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery — told CNN on Thursday that Walz went behind his back to retire after he learned that their unit was going to be deploying to Iraq. Julin said that in the fall of 2004, he and his commander received a notification of sourcing alerting them that they would be deploying to Iraq within the next year and they proceeded to alert everyone under their command to prepare themselves. At a meeting preparing for the deployment in February 2005 at Camp Ripley, Minnesota, Sergeant Major Walz approached Julin afterward and informed him that he was going to run for Congress. Walz told Julin that he had not been nominated yet, but he just wanted to give him a “warning order” about his plans. In a meeting the following month, Julin says that Walz told him that he had not been nominated and therefore was “going forward with the battalion.” Julin said that during a meeting in June, he learned from another National Guard member that Walz had quit, which surprised him because Walz would have had to go through his direct superior, which was Julin, in order to do so. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI Julin said that Walz went to someone two levels higher than him in the enlisted corps to get approval to quit. “He knew the rules or the policies or the procedures and the manner of how to address issues going forward,” Julin said. “If this would have been an early entry, low-level ranking individual, different story. We would have understood that, okay, he didn’t understand the processes and the procedures. Tim Walz knew the processes and the procedures. He went around me and above and beyond me, and went to get somebody to back him, to get him out of there.” “He did something wrong in service,” Julin said in explaining how Walz violated the chain of command. “He knew the policies and procedures and how we go to leadership and address issues or discuss issues and concerns out there. Again, backing up, he had told me, ‘No, I’m going forward, we’re going to go with the battalion, and go from there.’ So, I’m under the believing, he told me he was going forward. I’m underneath that believing that he’s going forward. He went around me, which he should have addressed it with me so he could help me with some things out there.” Julin said that Walz went behind his back because Walz knew that Julin would have said, ‘No, it’s too late, you’re going forward, because we’d already received our notification of sourcing.'” He added that claims that Walz had not been notified about deploying were categorically false. “Yes, he had been notified,” he said. Julin later told the New York Post that Walz knew that Julin would have “challenged” his cowardly move to get out of having to deploy. “He knew I would have told him, ‘Suck it up, we’re going,’” Julin said.

A fighter who failed past gender eligibility tests won gold in the women’s Olympic featherweight final match on Saturday. Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan, 28, absolutely dominated 20-year-old fighter Julia Szeremeta of Poland, leaving the female fighter bloodied. Lin, who physically towered over Szeremeta, won the match in a unanimous decision. “These two right now are not remotely on the same level,” one of the Olympic commentators noted during the match. Lin is the second fighter who won gold in women’s Olympic boxing after gender tests revealed XY chromosomes, according to the International Boxing Association (IBA). The International Olympic Committee (IOC) permitted Lin to compete in the women’s division despite failed gender tests in 2019 and 2023. The Olympics’ gender eligibility standard for boxing is based merely on a fighter’s passport. “As with previous Olympic boxing competitions, gender and age of the athletes are based on their passport,” IOC spokesman Mark Adams stated at a press conference. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI Adams also said that testosterone levels are not important to the IOC. “Many women can have testosterone which will be called ‘male levels’ and still be women and still compete as women,” he said. “This idea that you do one test for testosterone and that sorts everything out? Not the case, I’m afraid.” The IBA, which the IOC no longer associates with, said two fighters, including Lin, were given gender tests after the IBA was made aware of concerns about safety from a number of fighters, coaches, and medical staffers. “Both boxers were asked to take a further blood test,” IBA CEO Chris Roberts said at a press conference in Paris on Monday. “That happened the 23rd of March, the results came through and it demonstrated the chromosomes we refer to in competition rules that make both boxers ineligible.” Roberts further explained that Lin had failed the chromosome test and was given the opportunity to appeal the findings to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The IBA offered to pay the majority of the appeal, he noted. Lin, though, never appealed. IBA President Umar Kremlev has criticized the IOC for permitting Lin and another boxer named Imane Khelif to compete with women following the failed tests. He said in a press release that he doesn’t understand why the IOC is “killing” women’s boxing and emphasized that “only eligible athletes should compete in the ring for the sake of safety.” The IOC is standing by its position, calling the IBA “not credible,” and shaming people who have questioned the gender issue on the basis of fairness and safety. “We will not take part in a politically motivated … cultural war,” IOC President Thomas Bach said at a press conference last weekend. “What is going on in this context in the social media with all this hate speech, with this aggression and abuse, and fueled by this agenda, is totally unacceptable.” Related: Boxers Who Failed Gender Tests Make It To Gold Medal Match.

The 2024 Olympic Games have been an incredible display of athleticism, sportsmanship, and grace. They are coming to an end this weekend, and many of us will miss tuning in to watch our favorites compete. But just because the closing ceremonies are looming, doesn’t mean the fun has to stop. Chuck Aoki, an American Paralympian and three-time medalist in wheelchair rugby, loves the Olympic games and the excitement surrounding them. But he explained in a thought-provoking Instagram post that being a Paralympian during the Olympics is “wild.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Chuck Aoki (@chuckaoki) He called the Olympics a giant party with all your friends having a great time. “And in the back of your mind, (you) remember, ‘Well, I’ve got my party in two weeks. I hope everyone remembers,” he said. “I hope everyone at this party knows that they’re invited to my party, and if they had a good time at this party, they’re gonna have a good time at my party too.'” Chuck Invited Us All To His Party He didn’t mince words and said, “Consider this your official invitation. And make sure you send this to someone because invitations can get lost in the mail sometimes.” Plenty of people wrote they would be tuning in, “WE WILL BE COMING TO YOUR PARTY, CHUCK.” Someone suggested, “They should be highlighting it with every commercial break. And send Snoop back!” “How do we watch in the US? I don’t think I’ve ever seen the Paralympics on tv here,” a follower asked. Chuck answered this question with a follow-up video and said we need to tune into Peacock. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Chuck Aoki (@chuckaoki) “Peacock is like your Paralympics home,” he said. Adding it’s a “Paralympics Peacock Party.” The Paralympics begin in Paris on August 29 and will continue until September 2. With more than 4,000 athletes competing in 22 different sports, there is sure to be something for everyone. Chuck, thanks for inviting us. We’ll be there!
