Trump steps up personal attacks on Harris, calls her ‘flawed’

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has launched a fresh personal attack on his Democratic rival Kamala Harris, calling her “flawed” after her first major interview with CNN after becoming her party’s presidential nominee on Thursday.

Speaking at the Moms for Liberty national summit in Washington DC on Friday, Trump commented on Harris’ interview, saying, “I think it would be better if she would just do interviews, even if they were not good, but better … because now everybody is watching and now we see that she is flawed.”

Harris, 59, of Indian and African descent, is the Democratic Party’s candidate in the upcoming November 5 presidential election, where she will take on 78-year-old Trump.

During his address, Trump also referred to Biden’s performance in the presidential debate in June, saying Biden was “like a tart,” and expressed disappointment at spending millions behind the wrong person during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee last month.

“By the way, he’s a Marxist; people are finding that out,” Trump said. “Totally Marxist. His father is a Marxist. I think he teaches economics from a Marxist perspective. He taught him well.”

Trump has consistently launched personal attacks on Vice President Harris, especially as she has risen to political prominence in recent weeks since rising to the top of the Democratic ticket. He has previously denounced her physical appearance and claimed she is “a lot better looking than him.” Earlier this month, Trump claimed he is “entitled” to attack Harris personally because he “doesn’t have a lot of respect for her,” and has also questioned her racial identity.

In response to Trump’s comments, Harris shrugged off comments he made about her race during the CNN interview, saying, “Same old, worn-out tactic. Please ask the next question.”

Did Zuckerberg plot against Trump in 2020 election campaign? Former US President makes big claim in his new book

In his soon-to-be-published book, former US President Donald Trump has written that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg plotted against him during the 2020 US presidential elections. In the book, “Save America”, Trump has claimed that if the Meta CEO did it again, he would have to “spend the rest of his life in jail”.

Earlier too, businessman-turned-politician Trump has repeatedly accused Zuckerberg of interfering in the 2020 presidential elections, which he lost to US President Joe Biden. Interestingly, Trump’s remarks come at a time when Meta has taken steps to assure conservatives that it will not affect this year’s campaign.

The coffee table book penned by Trump, which is set to be published on September 3, features a photo of him with the Facebook founder at the White House. Under the photo, the former president wrote that Zuckerberg “used to come to the Oval Office to visit me. He would bring his very nice wife to dinner, behave as well as anyone could, while always plotting to put a lock box of shame in a true conspiracy opposing the President.

” The former president mentioned the $420 million donation he and his wife Priscilla Chan made to support election infrastructure during the 2020 election while criticizing Zuckerberg. “He informed me that Trump was unique among Facebook users. However, at the same time, it was used against me for unknown reasons,” Trump continued.

Kejriwal promised Rs 90 lakh each to 40 candidates in Goa, money came from South Group: CBI

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Tuesday told the Rouse Avenue Court that it has evidence to prove that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had promised Rs 90 lakh each to candidates from 40 constituencies in Goa. The central agency also said that there is evidence that the money came from the South Group.

Durgesh Pathak was in-charge of Goa elections. All the money spent in the Goa elections was spent on the instructions of Durgesh Pathak. He is an MLA from Delhi. According to news agency ANI, the agency said, “There is also evidence that the money came from the South Group.”

This argument was made during the hearing on CBI’s arguments on the supplementary chargesheet in the excise policy case against Kejriwal and others.

The CBI also moved an application seeking extension of Kejriwal’s judicial custody by 14 days. It said another accused Vinod Chauhan was working with Kavita’s PA, who got bail from the Supreme Court today in a money laundering probe by the ED.

Kejriwal, who appeared through video conferencing, said his sugar level was going down. He first asked for an extension of his judicial custody. After this, the court extended Kejriwal’s judicial custody till September 3. The court has now listed the chargesheet filed against Kejriwal for cognizance on September 3.

‘I don’t plan it…’: Rahul Gandhi says he has been facing marriage pressure for 20-30 years

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi discussed women’s safety, marriage, education and other issues with young Kashmiri women. In one such video shared by Gandhi on social media, he can be seen discussing marriage – and the pressures and expectations attached to it – with these women.

In a fun interaction, he asks the women about the “pressure of marriage”. One of the women said she is not planning to get married soon and in turn asks him about his opinion about marriage pressure. Gandhi laughed off the question and said, “I have been facing that pressure for 20-30 years.”

The woman asked him if he was planning to get married. “Yes, I am not planning it…but if it happens…” he said, until one of the women said “invite us on that day”.

They also discuss the pressure they face from society and family to get married early. One of them said that as soon as a woman completes class 12 or graduates, there is a lot of pressure on her to get married.

Another said that the divorce rate is gradually increasing and if marriages should end like this then maybe there is no need to get married.

The video has been liked over 332k times and shared 11.8k times till the time this story was published. Most of the comments also praised Gandhi for such an informative conversation.

In another video of the conversation, the women and Gandhi can be seen discussing harassment and discrimination. One of the women said that not all harassment women face at their workplaces is reported. Another asked how Gandhi and the party hope to rectify this. She can be seen saying that she has discussed the issue with her mother – Sonia Gandhi – and added that social change is of utmost importance, and the attitude of men towards women needs to change.

National Conference and Congress agree on seat-sharing in Jammu and Kashmir

The Congress and the National Conference have agreed on a deal to share the 90 assembly seats in Jammu and Kashmir ahead of next month’s election, senior leaders of both sides said on Monday evening, successfully ending the talks hours before the deadline for filing nominations for the first phase.

The NC will contest the majority of seats – 51 – and the Congress 32, Congress’ Jammu and Kashmir unit chief Tariq Hameed Karra told reporters, adding that two seats will be left for the CPIM and the Panthers Party.

Significantly, the five seats will witness a “friendly but disciplined contest”, indicating that the differences between the two parties – both of which are part of India’s opposition bloc – have not been completely ironed out even though the Congress sent two senior leaders to Srinagar this morning.

This will be the first assembly election in Jammu and Kashmir in a decade; The 2019 election was not held after the Centre scrapped Articles 370 and 35A and bifurcated Jammu and Kashmir into two union territories.

NC chief and former chief minister Farooq Abdullah told the press, “It is a matter of great joy… We have launched this campaign together against the forces trying to divide people here. The India Bloc was formed so that we can fight the forces that want to communalise, divide and break the country.”

Regarding the microphone issue, the Trump campaign raises new concerns about the September debate with Harris.

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign is casting fresh doubts on the Sept. 10 debate on ABC amid a dispute over rules, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.

According to the source, Trump’s team wants microphones muted during the debate except for the candidate whose turn it is to speak, as was the case during the first debate with President Joe Biden.

And Trump himself took aim at the “biased” network on Sunday evening, complaining about reporter Jonathan Karl and a panel of “Trump haters” on his Truthout social platform. “Why would I debate against Kamala Harris on that network?” the former president asked.

The Harris campaign is requesting that ABC and other networks seeking to host a potential October debate keep microphones on, according to a senior campaign official, a change from the June debate when the then-Biden campaign wanted microphones muted except for when it was the candidate’s turn to speak.

Senior communications adviser for the Harris campaign Brian Fallon said in a statement, “We have informed ABC and other networks hoping to host a possible October debate that we believe both candidates’ mics should be live throughout the broadcast.” “From what we understand, the reason Trump’s advisors favor quiet microphones is that they don’t think their candidate can conduct himself like a president on his own for ninety minutes.

” We suspect Trump’s team hasn’t even told their bosses about this controversy because it would be too embarrassing to admit they don’t feel he can handle himself against Vice President Harris without the benefit of a mute button.” Trump’s campaign has argued that when they agreed to the ABC debate with Harris at the top of the ticket, they agreed to the same guidelines as previous debates. Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller said in a statement, “Enough of the gamesmanship.

We agreed to the ABC debate under the same terms as the CNN debate.” “The Harris camp asked for a seated debate, with notes and opening statements, after having already agreed to the CNN rules. We said there would be no changes to the agreed rules,” Miller said. “It’s interesting that this is coming out now, while the Harris campaign has begun its debate preparations. Even her own campaign spokesperson said the debate is over when the debate is over.They are obviously seeing something that bothers them.

” Miller’s assertion that the Harris campaign supported letting candidates take notes while they sat down was met with resistance. Politico broke the story on the microphone rule dispute first. Although Trump has consistently called for a different venue, such as a Fox News-hosted debate with a “full arena audience,” the ABC debate was formally scheduled earlier this month.

Nevertheless, the two contenders have participated in mock debates. With a limited schedule of campaign stops while she concentrates on debate preparations, Harris is expected to visit Georgia this week, according to aides. Trump, for his part, has included one of Harris’ former 2020 Democratic primary rivals, former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard. Several notable exchanges took place between Harris and Gabbard during the Democratic primary debates, where Harris criticized Gabbard for foreign policy while Gabbard challenged Harris’ record on criminal justice.

“Batenge toh kattenge”: Yogi Adityanath makes a strong plea for unity

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath made a strong plea for national unity, citing the example of neighbouring Bangladesh and said “Batenge toh kattenge (If we are divided, we willbe destroyed).” He declared, “Only when we are united will the nation be empowered.” “Nothing can be above the nation,” the chief minister declared today during a rally in Agra. And only when we stand together will the country gain strength.” “You are witnessing events in Bangladesh.

Those mistakes should not be repeated here…Batenge toh kattenge, Ek Rahenge toh nekh rahenge,” he said while addressing a gathering after unveiling a statue in Agra. The chief minister had yesterday accused the opposition of playing divisive politics and said they were more concerned about their vote bank than the plight of Hindus in Bangladesh following Sheikh Hasina’s departure from the nation and resignation as prime minister.

“The opposition has been blatantly silent about the persecution of Hindus and the destruction of temples in Bangladesh, but they speak sharply on global issues,” the speaker declared. They see Palestine, but turn a blind eye to Bangladesh, because they fear losing their vote bank.” He said, “We must unite to expose and counter the divisive forces who want to divide society for their petty interests.

” In his address today, he also issued a warning. He said, “We will work for unity. We will not give any scope to anyone to spread division in society, be it on the basis of matter, region, language or any other basis. We should be cautious of such people and we must perform our duty as citizens.”

BJP dissociates itself from Kangana Ranaut’s remarks on farmers’ protest

The BJP has dissociated itself from the remarks made by its MP Kangana Ranaut regarding the farmers’ protest in New Delhi. In a press release issued on Monday, August 26, the BJP said, “The statement made by BJP MP Kangana Ranaut in the context of the farmers’ protest is not the party’s opinion. The Bharatiya Janata Party disagrees with Kangana Ranaut’s statement. Kangana Ranaut has no right to speak on party policy issues.”

Earlier on August 25, Kangana had re-posted an interview clip in which she had alleged, “In the name of farmers’ protest, there could have been anarchy like Bangladesh in India too. External forces are planning to destroy us with the help of insiders. They would have succeeded if our leadership did not have the foresight.

” She also claimed without evidence that sexual assaults and murders have taken place under the guise of protests. Her comments angered her own party leadership and senior BJP leader from Punjab Harjit Grewal told India Today that, “It is not Kangana’s job to speak on farmers. Her statement is her personal view. PM Modi and BJP are farmer friendly.

Opposition parties are working against us and Kangana’s statement is also doing the same.She shouldn’t say things like this about religious organizations or delicate religious matters. BJP supporters were also incensed about Kangana’s remarks.

In its press release on August 26, the BJP also said, “Kangana Ranaut has been directed by the Bharatiya Janata Party not to make any such statement in future. The Bharatiya Janata Party is determined to work on the principles of ‘Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas’ and social harmony.

Edward Snowden, Elon Musk and other tech leaders condemn arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov

Edward Snowden, Elon Musk and other tech leaders condemn arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov

The arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov has drawn criticism from former NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, who described it as a “assault on basic human rights of speech and association.” Last year, Snowden, who became a citizen of Russia, shared his opinions on X, a platform that was formerly Twitter. He claimed that the arrest damaged France’s standing internationally.

“The fundamental human rights to free speech and association have been violated by @durov’s arrest. The fact that (French President Emmanuel) Macron has gone to the length of kidnapping people in order to obtain access to private communications astounds and saddens me greatly. . This degrades not just France, but the world,” Snowden posted.

Durov, 39, was detained after his private jet landed at France’s Le Bourget airport. The arrest, which is based on a warrant, relates to crimes allegedly linked to Telegram, a popular messaging app known for its end-to-end encryption. Durov, who founded Telegram in 2013, left Russia in 2014 after protesting government pressure to shut down opposition groups on his VKontakte social media platform. He now lives in Dubai and holds dual citizenship in France and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Balaji Srinivasan, an American entrepreneur, criticized the arrest as well, claiming that the French government’s actions were more about control than deterring crime. He emphasized how unrealistic it is to expect Durov to handle crime among Telegram’s enormous user base when the French government is already dealing with internal crime.

“Control is what matters to the French, not crime. Is Macron held accountable for each and every crime committed in France? No. Why then is Durov supposed to oversee each and every Telegram action? Twitter was used by Srinivasan.

Other prominent figures in the tech industry also gave their opinions on the situation. Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted, “It’s 2030 in Europe and you’re getting killed for liking a meme,” indicating concerns over rising censorship.

AAP: BJP and CBI are “conspiring” to keep Arvind Kejriwal behind bars.

The Aam Aadmi Party on Saturday (August 24, 2024) accused the BJP and central probe agency Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) of hatching an alleged conspiracy to keep DelhiIn the excise policy case, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is incarcerated.

There was no immediate reaction from the CBI or the BJP to the AAP’s allegations.

Senior AAP leaders Manish Sisodia and Atishi claimed that the CBI had asked the Supreme Court for more time to respond to Mr. Kejriwal’s bail request, which had been “planted” in media.

“The CBI says in court that its reply to the bail plea is not ready and hence the bail hearing should be extended by 14 days. The CBI’s response is provided to the media on the same day so that they can create biased headlines in newspapers,” Mr. Sisodia wrote in Hindi on X. “To keep Arvind Kejriwal in jail, the CBI is dancing like a puppet at the behest of the BJP,” he declared. The senior AAP leader predicted that one day, the lies and deceit that are being hatched for the purpose of “headline management” will be exposed.

He stated that although agencies may follow political trends, justice and the Constitution always side with the truth. On Friday, the Supreme Court deferred hearing on Mr Kejriwal’s bail plea in the excise policy case till September 5 after the agency sought more time to file an affidavit on it. Mr Kejriwal has filed two separate petitions against the denial of bail and his arrest by the CBI in the case.

In its detailed affidavit filed in response to the petition challenging Mr Kejriwal’s arrest, the CBI alleged that all crucial decisions in the formulation of the now-defunct excise policy were taken at the behest of the Delhi Chief Minister in connivance with the then Deputy Chief Minister Sisodia.
