The former lover and mentor of Kamala Harris, Willie Brown, who served as mayor of San Francisco, had an extra-marital affair with Harris, and appointed her to two positions when he was California’s Speaker of the Assembly, has advised her to keep her actual ideology fuzzy so she can keep voters “continually guessing” in a recent interview. POLITICO conducted the interview and wrote that Brown felt Harris should embrace the fact that her ideology is fuzzy because “if she keeps people continually guessing then she can adjust the interpretation of your guess every time she sees you.” Brown acknowledged that Harris had “the Hillary syndrome” and that “people don’t like her,” POLITICO reported. The outlet added that Brown “fretted it was not fixable.” Harris dated Brown in 1994 and 1995, when Harris was assistant district attorney in Alameda County. In 1994, Brown appointed Harris to the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board, later appointing her to the Medical Assistance Commission. Harris ended the relationship in 1995. “[I]n what was San Francisco’s cloistered high society, before the tech money came to town, he was her entree to many of the city’s most prominent figures and donors,” POLITICO noted of Brown’s impact on Harris’ career. Harris has rapidly reversed herself on left-wing positions she had held for years in order to appear more moderate. She had called for banning fracking during her 2019-20 presidential run; last Friday her campaign stated she would not ban fracking if elected president. She c0-sponsored Bernie Sanders’s “Medicare-for-all” bill in 2017, but now, as The Telegraph noted, “has since toned down her views, instead suggesting that private medical debt cannot be used to formulate a credit score.” She stated in 2020 that cities should “redirect resources” away from police departments toward other areas of government, saying, “For too long, people have confused achieving public safety with putting more cops on the street.” In another interview that year, she said during nationwide protests, “This whole movement is about rightly saying, we need to take a look at these budgets and figure out whether it reflects the right priorities.” She continued by saying American cities were “militarizing police.” Now Harris boasts that she’s always been tough on crime, bragging, “I was a courtroom prosecutor. So in those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds.”

President Joe Biden, who dropped out of the 2024 race earlier this month amid concerns about his mental and physical health, is expected to be a keynote speaker on the first night of the Democratic National Convention, which kicks off in Chicago on August 19. Sources told CNN on Tuesday that Biden is slated to deliver the primetime speech on the DNC’s opening night, where Vice President Kamala Harris is set to be officially crowned as the Democrats’ presidential nominee. If Biden, 81, goes through with a keynote address, the speech will be given to an audience that will likely include many Democrats who urged the president to end his campaign following his disastrous June 27 debate against former President Donald Trump. The DNC will last four days, and the party’s nominee customarily speaks on the last day. Along with President Biden, former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton are expected to address the convention, but the exact schedule is undecided, CNN reported. The vice presidential nominee usually speaks on Wednesday before the presidential nominee takes the stage on Thursday. Harris has yet to name a running mate, but her campaign said that she would announce her decision by next Tuesday when she will hold the first rally with her vice presidential candidate in Philadelphia, The New York Times reported. The 2024 Democratic National Convention will be unprecedented as the candidate chosen by the voters in the party’s primary will not be named the nominee. Instead, party elites and delegates have rallied behind Harris, who secured enough delegates to become the nominee just two days after Biden dropped out of the race, according to an Associated Press survey that asked delegates if they would vote for Harris at the convention. Harris has hit the campaign trail running with a stop in Milwaukee last week and a rally that featured rapper Megan Thee Stallion in Atlanta on Tuesday night. During her rallies, the vice president has laid into Trump, calling him a “predator” and arguing that her time as a prosecutor has set her up to face off with Trump, pointing to Trump’s fraud convictions and being held liable for sexual assault. Trump has pegged Harris as a radical leftist and a “failed vice president,” arguing that she is responsible for the massive influx of illegal immigrants who entered the U.S. under the Biden administration. Harris has pushed Trump to agree to debate her on September 10, the same day that Trump was slated to debate Biden for a second time. Trump said earlier this week that he would “probably” debate the vice president but added that he can also “make a case for not doing it.” The former president said that if he debates Harris, he wants the showdown moved from ABC to Fox News.

A federal judge struck down a New Jersey ban on AR-15 rifles on Tuesday, ruling that the prohibition violates the U.S. Constitution. U.S. District Judge Peter Sheridan wrote in a 69-page decision that a provision in New Jersey’s “Assault Firearms Law” banning the possession and sale of AR-15s violated the Second Amendment. The Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs and the Firearms Policy Coalition sued the state over the restriction and another provision banning higher-capacity magazines.  In his decision, Sheridan pointed to Supreme Court decisions on gun regulations, including the recent Bruen decision, in which the court struck down New York’s restrictions on concealed carry, ruling that judges must consider gun control laws in the “historical tradition of firearm regulation” in the United States.  “That is, where the Supreme Court has set forth the law of our Nation, as a lower court, I am bound to follow it,” Sheridan wrote. “This principle — combined with the reckless inaction of our governmental leaders to address the mass shooting tragedy afflicting our Nation — necessitates the Court’s decision. For these reasons and those below, the AR-15 Provision of Assault Firearms Law is unconstitutional.” Sheridan wrote that the possession of AR-15s for self-defense purposes was protected under the Second Amendment and was “inconsistent with our Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.” His decision did not strike down a ban on similar guns, like the Beretta AR-70 or the Springfield Armory BM59, that were included in the same law, saying he only heard arguments on the AR-15.  Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs Executive Director Scott Bach indicated his group would appeal the ruling.  “While the decision is mixed and certain to be appealed by both sides, it is groundbreaking in that it invalidates part of New Jersey’s ‘assault firearms’ ban — a misguided hardware ban destined to be overturned in its entirety,” he said. The judge also ruled that a prohibition on higher capacity magazines was constitutional, rejecting the plaintiffs’ challenge on that front. He pointed to mass shootings as one reason for his decision.  “Second, that large capacity ammunition magazines have been used in most of these mass shooting events in recent years. This relationship is impossible to ignore,” he wrote.  Democrat New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin accused the court of weaponizing the Second Amendment to “undermine public safety” and promised to appeal the decision to strike down the AR-15 ban. 

A group of nearly 20 GOP senators urged the Olympics this week to clean up its act following the opening ceremony of the Paris Games that featured a controversial drag show parody modeled after “The Last Supper.” In a letter, led by Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) and addressed to International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach, the Republican lawmakers called for tweaking the Olympic charter to avoid future performances that mock Christianity or any other faith. “We write in response to the vulgar mockery of the Christian faith on display at the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games Paris 2024. The Games should unite people of every country, race, and creed,” the senators said. “There is no place for anti-Christian bigotry at an event designed to bring the world together.” They added, “The Games should celebrate the athletes, not denigrate anyone’s faith. We urge you to take immediate action by amending Rule 55 of the Olympic Charter to ensure that no faiths are the subject of mockery as part of the opening or closing ceremonies ever again.” The senators said the IOC “should formally condemn the mockery that occurred in Paris of one of the most sacred moments of the Christian faith. Then, the IOC should make formal changes to ensure this kind of divisive display is not repeated to ensure that Coubertin’s vision for the Games may continue to thrive,” referring to Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a Frenchman who founded the modern Olympics. “Every person, from every nation and every faith, should be encouraged to enjoy the Olympics without being belittled or mocked. Thank you for your attention to this matter,” they concluded. The other senators who signed the letter included: John Barrasso (R-WY), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Katie Britt (R-AL), Ted Budd (R-NC), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Steve Daines (R-MT), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Roger Marshall (R-KS), Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Jim Risch (R-ID), Dan Sullivan (R-AK), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Tim Scott (R-SC), and Todd Young (R-IN). Last week’s opening ceremony, which featured several acts, drew backlash for including a drag show parody of “The Last Supper” with Jesus Christ, his apostles, and the Greek god Dionysus. Amid the outrage, the organizers of this summer’s games apologized to Catholics and other Christian groups who took offense. “Clearly there was never an intention to show disrespect to any religious group. [The opening ceremony] tried to celebrate community tolerance,” said Paris 2024 spokesperson Anne Descamps, according to ESPN. She added, “We believe this ambition was achieved. If people have taken any offense, we are really sorry.” The ceremony’s artistic director, Thomas Jolly, said, “We wanted to talk about diversity. Diversity means being together. We wanted to include everyone, as simple as that.” Not everyone voiced disapproval of the opening ceremony. First lady Jill Biden, who led the U.S. delegation to the opening ceremony on Friday, praised the show during a brunch celebrating the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. “It was spectacular,” Biden said. “The rain did not dampen our spirits. … Every step of the way, I was thinking to myself, ‘Oh my God, oh my God. How are we going to top this?'”
