During the primary elections in South Carolina, Biden seeks to win the support of African-American voters

Democrats face a challenging prospect of winning South Carolina in November’s presidential election. However, the state plays a crucial role in current President Joe Biden’s re-election chances.

The party hopes that South Carolina’s new role as host of the party’s first official primary election on Feb. 3 will increase its support among black voters. Party officials also see the location as a springboard for an audacious strategy: to win back voters in the south of the country in the coming years.

The Democratic Party has faced challenges in the region since the 1960s during civil rights protests. However, increasing migration to Southern states in recent years, along with statewide victories in Kentucky and North Carolina, as well as Biden’s narrow victory in Georgia in 2020, has fueled hope that the party can improve its performance, starting for the November general election. Despite the modest national results, Democrats are confident that Biden can win North Carolina, a state that has only supported a Democrat once since 1980. He is also expected to win key congressional districts in the South.

This Saturday, Biden will visit South Carolina for the second time this month, attending a dinner celebrating the primaries, after meetings with rising party figures such as California Governor Gavin Newsom and Representative Ro Khanna. “From the ashes of the Old South, we will see, like a phoenix, the birth of a New South,” predicts Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison, a South Carolina native. “South Carolina’s impact will not be relegated just to state borders.” However, reversing the balance in the Republican stronghold will not be easy. The president of the Republican Party in the state, Drew McKissick, says that the Democrats’ progressive positions on all issues, from the economy to customs, repulse the region’s most conservative voters.

Biden warns against rising of anti-Semitism

President Joe Biden on Friday (26) marked International Holocaust Remembrance Day by warning against what he called an alarming rise in anti-Semitism following the Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7 and efforts to minimize what happened that day.

With that, Biden, who launched the first US national strategy to combat anti-Semitism in May 2023, said the need to remember the Holocaust and the “scourge of anti-Semitism” was more urgent than ever, following the Hamas attack that killed 1,200 people.

“In the wake of Hamas’ cruel massacre, we have witnessed an alarming rise in despicable anti-Semitism at home and abroad, which has brought to light painful scars from millennia of hatred and genocide of the Jewish people. This is unacceptable,” Biden said in a statement.

“We cannot remember everything that Jewish Holocaust survivors experienced and then remain silent when Jews are attacked and shot again today,” he said, calling for a strong reaction against Holocaust denialism and “efforts to downplay the horrors that Hamas perpetrated on October 7, especially its horrific and inexcusable use of rape and sexual violence to terrorize victims.”

It is worth remembering that in November, US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said that the rise in anti-Semitism since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas was a “fire” that threatened the safety of Jews around the world and the future of Israel.

Biden said his administration continues to condemn and combat anti-Semitism as it works to secure the release of the remaining hostages held by Hamas, which kidnapped about 240 people on Oct. 7. He called on Americans to do their part to combat hate in all its forms.

“It is our shared moral responsibility to confront anti-Semitism and hate-fueled violence at home and abroad and make the promise of ‘Never Again’ real,” Biden said.

As Trump left, Kaplan continued to present his argument to the court, highlighting that the former president did not respect the jury’s previous verdict, not even for 24 hours.

After Trump left, Judge Lewis Kaplan (no relation to the lawyer) briefly interrupted Roberta Kaplan to record: “The record will reflect that Mr. Trump simply stood up and left the courtroom.” The trial concerns comments made by Trump in 2019 about the writer, who last year won a favorable verdict in relation to her allegation of sexual assault by Trump in the 1990s, followed by defamation when she publicly accused him. for the first time. Carroll is seeking at least $10 million in damages.

Guy shared his experience providing a safe place for Tupac to hide while recovering from his injuries. “It felt like The Diary of Anne Frank because I couldn’t tell anyone it was there,” he commented. After being shot five times, Tupac was determined to leave the hospital.

She explained that, soon after, Tupac joined the rest of his family, who wanted to stay together during that challenging time. “Everyone was in that room,” she recalled. With so many of Tupac’s relatives staying at Guy’s house, she made a rule with his family: “‘If we want to keep the peace, everyone has to leave by 10 p.m.’ And that lasted about two days,” he reported. The Shakurs’ response was, “‘You don’t understand. We’re the Shakurs. We’re going to show you how to have a family life.'” Tupac and his family stayed at her house for approximately two weeks, and Guy, recalling the moment, said, “It was fun, despite the stress.” Guy met Tupac when he starred in “A Different World” and maintained their friendship through Jada Pinkett Smith. Tupac was the victim of another shooting in 1996 and tragically died.

LSU issued a statement Thursday, stating, “In July 2023, LSU was made aware of allegations of misconduct by a former student-athlete related to sports betting while enrolled at the university. Since then, we have fully cooperated with all relevant authorities involved in the investigation and will continue to do so. We have no evidence that any other student-athletes have participated in these prohibited activities, and we are grateful for measures that detect and discourage misconduct related to sports gambling.” The NFL has not yet commented on Boutte’s arrest.

Former WWE employee accuses Vince McMahon of sex trafficking

Janel Grant, a former WWE employee, has filed a lawsuit against Vince McMahon, alleging sexual assault, sex trafficking and paying to silence her, according to legal documents reported by TMZ.

In the lawsuit, she alleges that McMahon used “life-changing promises” to pressure her into sexual interactions, the outlet claims. Grant also accused McMahon of organizing threesome sexual activities and recruiting other men for the alleged purpose of sex trafficking. She claims that she was offered a salary of $75,000 to work for McMahon and that by refusing his advances, she was placed in a situation where she feared adverse consequences to her career and personal life, as well as legal retaliation.

Grant described the alleged sexual relations as non-consensual and claimed that McMahon, after a few interactions, pressured her to send him explicit images, which were allegedly distributed to others associated with WWE. She alleges that McMahon coerced her into continuing sexual practices and that, on one occasion, he defecated on her head during such activities.

The lawsuit also mentions that McMahon persuaded former WWE wrestler John Laurinaitis to participate in these activities. Grant alleges she was forced to send explicit images to Laurinaitis and participate in a threesome with him. At the end of the lawsuit, Grant said he signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) promising to receive $3 million, but claims he only received $1 million. She is seeking unspecified damages and has asked the judge to invalidate the purported NDA.

Naomi Biden criticizes Fox’s Jesse Watters, saying he overstepped boundaries

On Wednesday night, Naomi Biden shared on X, formerly known as Twitter: “I’ve heard so many lies about my family that it takes a lot to make me upset. This crosses the line.” During the monologue, Watters stated that Biden is “inept on the border” because he is “not the best father.”

Referring to Hunter Biden, Naomi’s father, whose foreign business dealings have been the target of impeachment pressure from Republicans, Watters commented: “The man can’t say no to his own son. He can’t say stop, there can be no consequences for actions.” Naomi Biden questioned how Watters could call herself a “reporter” after such comments.

She also expressed concern, stating, “I hope he never has a son or daughter who struggles with anything.” Naomi emphasized the possibility of disagreeing with policies without resorting to such a hostile tone. Watters, an opinion host, took over the 8 p.m. slot on Fox News last year, succeeding Tucker Carlson, and is a regular co-host of “The Five,” the network’s most-watched show.

Trump asks states to send National Guard to Texas amid border tensions

Former President Trump encouraged “all willing states” to send National Guard members to Texas amid the dispute between Governor Greg Abbott and the federal government over the removal of barbed wire on the US-Mexico border.

In a statement last Thursday, Trump said: “In the face of this national security, public safety and public health crisis, Texas correctly invoked the Invasion Clause of the Constitution and must receive full support to repel the invasion.” He encouraged states to send their guards to Texas “to stop illegals from coming in and remove them back across the border,” defending the steps taken by Texas authorities to protect safety, security and sovereignty.

++ Survey shows that 67% of Americans do not want a rematch between Trump and Biden

The Texas National Guard on Tuesday appeared to disregard a Supreme Court ruling that allowed the removal of barbed wire barriers, continuing construction along the border. Governor Abbott justified his decision by criticizing President Biden for failing to enforce immigration laws and citing the state’s constitutional authority to defend itself against invasion.

Trump’s statement came as Republican governors in several states supported Abbott in his standoff against the administration’s decision to allow the barriers to be removed. Trump said that if he were president, he would work with Governor Abbott and other border states to stop the invasion, seal the border and begin the largest domestic deportation operation in history. He criticized Biden for “aiding and abetting” the migration surge, claiming he tied Abbott’s hands, allowing the invasion to continue unchecked.
