The Western Journal: RFK Jr.'s VP Pick Outlines Democrats' Election Nightmare, Which Could Be a Rude Awakening for Kamala Harris
RFK Jr.'s campaign is shaking up the political scene, particularly for Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democrats, who are rattled by the prospect of him aligning with Trump. Nicole Shanahan highlights their fear, revealing frantic communications from Democratic allies about the potential alliance.
The Democrats' fear isn’t unfounded; polls show Kennedy is appealing more to Republicans, complicating the landscape for Harris. With every misstep, her image risks further erosion as the party leans on fear tactics rather than a clear vision.
The Telegraph: RFK supporters more likely to back Trump than Harris if he drops out of presidential race
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. hints at dropping his presidential bid to endorse Donald Trump, potentially reshaping the race with his modest five percent support. A Friday address in Phoenix could seal the deal, as polls suggest his exit might favor Trump over Kamala Harris in key swing states.
Kennedy's campaign, laden with controversies and legal hurdles, faces backlash from within the Kennedy family and criticism for its anti-establishment stance. His moves seem strategized to overshadow the Democratic National Convention, highlighting the fractures in American political allegiances.

The Telegraph: ‘Emboldened’ Taliban bans Afghan women from looking at men they don’t know
Under the Taliban's new orders, Afghan women face severe restrictions: they can't speak loudly, look at men, or leave home without a face covering and a male guardian. Defying these rules means arrest. The regime reinforces a chilling atmosphere of oppression and fear.
Men too are bound by tight rules, with restrictions on their clothing and conduct. The Taliban's draconian laws bolster a grim reality for Afghan society, reminiscent of a bygone era. "It's a massive cage," laments a former civil servant.

Breitbart: Ann Coulter: Central Park Rapists -- Trump was Right
In 1989, the brutal rape of Trisha Meili in Central Park ignited outrage and led to the conviction of five young men, often dubbed the "Central Park Five," based on their confessions and other evidence. The case was clouded by racial dynamics and media narratives, which later proclaimed their innocence due to DNA evidence.
Yet the exoneration stemmed from the confession of a different man, Matias Reyes, whose claim to have acted alone contradicted the original evidence. This duality of truth and perception highlights America's fraught relationship with crime, race, and justice.
Breitbart: Fact Check: Central Park Five Falsely Accuse Donald Trump at DNC
Donald Trump faced backlash for a full-page ad demanding the death penalty for murderers following the Central Park Five incident. However, he never explicitly called for their execution, merely tapping into the public's anger about crime in general.
Over the years, the case stirred debates about justice and the influence of media narratives. Trump's general call for the death penalty came off as incendiary, especially in such a charged context.
