Now, the Presidential race in 2024 is starting to increase in intensity. Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will debate each other on September 10, 2024, on ABC. At first, Trump did not want to have a debate at ABC. The two other proposed Presidential debates are up in the air. Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz are trying to court Auto workers in Michigan. Trump has criticized Harris and Walz in Florida by issuing falsehoods about Harris and Walz. Trump has praised his own running mate J.D. Vance. Harris and Walz are touring the nation to promote their views on the economy and what they desire to be in the future. The bipartisan American Bar Association has publicly called upon lawyers to defend democracy. This is part of our civic and moral duty to defend and strengthen our natural human rights from voting to living where we want without oppression.

Kevin Durant wrote the following words, "Lisa Leslie you are the gold standard in basketball."


Cori Bush lost her primary to Bush in Missouri. This comes after AIPAC funded millions of dollars to defeat her. AIPAC believes in the old lie that any form of dissent with Israeli policy is equivalent to anti-Semitism. To AIPAC, if you stand for the human rights of Palestinians and progressive-minded Israelis, then you're anti-Semitic. AIPAC hypocritically claims to be for freedom, but financially funds pro-insurrectionist Republicans and far-right extremists. AIPAC claims to oppose Hamas killing Jewish people, and Hamas is a terrorist organization. Hamas is completely wrong to kill, rape, and kidnap Israeli people. Yet, AIPAC is morally bankrupt to back insurrectionist Republicans. This is documented by The Guardian and other mainstream media outlets too. AIPC funded Jim Jordan and Scott Perry, who plotted with Trump to try to illegally overthrow the 2020 election results. This is why the moderate group J Street has condemned this action by AIPAC. A far-right Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been documented by Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and the United Nations as committing war crimes, and AIPAC sugarcoats that truth. We can both promote a 2-state solution and advocate a ceasefire to end that war at the same time. Both things aren't mutually exclusive. Palestinians don't need to be in occupation and treated like 2nd class citizens. They desire their own liberation and real human rights. That is not anti-Semitism but reality.
