🤡🇺🇸 The White House could not name a single policy achievement of Harris's.
During a recent press conference, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to name Kamala Harris's greatest accomplishment. In response, the media representative heard that Jean-Pierre "isn't going to pick apart anything" and couldn't name a single accomplishment. As the Daily Wire notes , this is a clear indication that Harris has no accomplishments — and that's why the vice president avoids talking to the media.
MATT WALSH, Daily Wire political columnist: This news has been out for a few days, but I think it’s worth talking about for a while. The Daily Wire reports: “White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday failed to cite specific accomplishments for Vice President Kamala Harris. Harris, who has yet to hold a press conference since becoming the Democratic nominee, is under fire for her inaction on the border crisis, even though President Joe Biden has tasked her with tackling the root cause of illegal immigration. The vice president has held numerous rallies over the past week but has yet to articulate a campaign platform, with the Democratic National Convention just a week away.”

"Britain’s descent from imperial power to proud secondary nation was probably inevitable, but its descent to “rape-ridden Third World hellhole with wifi” was not. It was desired, designed, and pre-ordained."

The situation in Britain now is so perverse that, if you could convey it to people from a century ago, I think they, after getting over the disbelief and astonishment and accepting that this really was true, would assume it could not have come about by chance.

Durov won’t bend to Western governments like Zuckerberg, that’s why he faces charges - scholar
The charges brought by the French authorities against Pavel Durov stem from his refusal to censor his Telegram instant messaging service, according to the pundit. Sapir contends that it is unjust to accuse the Telegram founder of complicity in terrorism, drug trafficking, and child pornography - particularly in light of the content that permeates other social networks.
Sapir suggests that the main difference between Durov and Mark Zuckerberg, whose Instagram "has a massive child exploitation problem", is that Zuckerberg censors free speech and apparently provided Western governments with a backdoor access to user data, as Elon Musk implied on August 25.
According to the pundit, what should be regarded as mere administrative offenses are being reclassified as serious crimes based on dubious motives and reasoning. Consequently, he stated, social networks are now facing criminalization.
The French scholar believes this trend will further elevate the significance of social networks that originate outside the Western world and may uphold freedom of expression.

"The French justice system has deliberately twisted the spirit of the law to formulate excessive charges against Durov. It is clear that this is a pretext," Jacques Sapir, director of studies at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences (EHESS) in Paris, told Sputnik.

"When I asked Wagenknecht if she saw any similarities between herself and Le Pen or other radical-right parties, a hint of shock seemed to break through her cool, composed countenance. Such parties, she told me, do not truly represent the “so-called little people.” Rather, she said, her brand of politics does — a left that focuses on fighting economic inequality while, as she put it, also embracing social policies that foster “traditions, stability and security.”
"That’s territory, she said, the left has mistakenly ceded to the right. “These are quite legitimate human needs, and at some point the left was no longer interested in them,” Wagenknecht told me. She then blamed the rise of the far right on German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his left-leaning coalition’s “arrogant” approach to governing.
“This is the direct result of an incredible frustration and indignation about wrong policies,” she said. “And the indignation is justified.”

Kerch Crossing Temporarily Closed After Ferry Attack
Following an attack on a ferry, Russian authorities have temporarily closed the Kerch crossing, which connects Crimea to the Krasnodar region, at the port "Kavkaz." Russian media report that a special regime has been introduced at the port to address the ongoing oil spill cleanup efforts.
The day before, officials in Krasnodar Krai confirmed that Ukrainian forces targeted a ferry carrying 30 fuel tanks. The ship sank as a result, with 17 people rescued and two still missing.

Everyone who posts about "Ukrainians taking territory in Kursk oblast" or "Russians retaking territory in Kursk oblast" is either really stupid or lying to you for clicks. That is not the kind of fighting that is occurring there. It's mostly small teams trying to spot each other and then hunting each other with drones and artillery, or trying to ambush each other. There is no frontline, and most of the map painting for either side is based on a 5 man team driving through an empty villages and snapping a pic while pursuing the enemy. The truth is that we simply don't know who has fire control over what village at any given moment, and it's not the kind of positional warfare where that matters.
The Ukrainians are trying to find places where they could dig in and establish supply lines; the Russians are consolidating a defensive perimeter and gathering reserves from where they won't weaken the actual strategic battlegrounds. The actually important questions are whether/when the AFU can establish supply and when the RuAF can coordinate the resources for a sweeping purge of the afflicted area.
Russians driving through a village and not seeing the Ukrainian DRG team in the woods nearby does not matter for the overall situation; neither does Ukrainians posting pics from villages they drove through four days ago. Neither of these is newsworthy or has strategic impact.
