RFK Junior's running mate: This week, environmental lawyer and advanced science peddler Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is running for president as an independent and is polling fairly well, announced that Google co-founder Sergey・Brin's ex-wife, technology entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan, was selected. As his voice, it is his right.
Shanahan was the primary funder and creative mind behind RFK Jr.'s surprisingly good Super Bowl ad.
Of course, this was a nod to JFK's 1960 campaign ad, a fact that angered many in the Kennedy family, who generally did not share RFK Jr.'s beliefs. She appears to be moderately to severely embarrassed by him.
„My uncle's face and my mother's face were used in my cousin's Super Bowl ad,“ said Bobby Shriver, RFK Jr.'s cousin. I have written. „She would be appalled by his deadly medical views. Her respect for science, vaccines, and medical equity was in her DNA.“
Now, Shanahan has been selected as the vice presidential candidate, which has prompted a strange reaction from the Libertarian Party chairman. „I think a lot of Liberals are a little confused as to why he chose Nicole Shanahan,“ said LP Chair Angela McArdle. Said to The Hill. „I'm sure she's a nice person, but her views don't necessarily align with ours.“ But why should she align herself with the views of libertarian voters? Now, there's been a lot of speculation that the Libertarian Party is looking to install RFK Jr. at the top, an odd choice given what his Environmental Protection Agency would look like, for example.
Many pollsters and commentators previously believed that RFK Jr. running as an independent would do more damage to former President Donald Trump than to President Joe Biden. „Right after Kennedy gained independence, NPR-PBS-Marist Survey He showed that Biden led Trump by 3 points (49 to 46 percent) in head-to-head races, but by 7 percentage points (44 to 37 percent, with RFK Jr. at 16 percent) in three-way races.similarly quinnipiac Mr. Biden led Mr. Trump by 1 point (47-46%) in a head-to-head race, but if Mr. Kennedy was included, he led by 3 points (39-36%, RFK Jr.'s 22%). ” report intelligence officerEd Kilgore.
For now, Kennedy seems to be helping Trump's chances, not hurting them: „Trump leads Biden by 1.6 percentage points in the race, 46.6 to 45.0, according to the Real Clear Politics national polling average. %) leading.” race between two candidatesand rose by 5.4 percent (40.7 to 35.3 percent, Kennedy's 12.3 percent) in one year. Race with 3 candidates. ”
But Mr. Kennedy now faces significant obstacles to accessing the ballot, which could be resolved by accepting the LP nomination if it is offered to him. Currently, Kennedy is only on the ballot in Utah. However, his campaign assured voters that he had „gathered enough signatures to qualify in Nevada, Hawaii, and New Hampshire.“ around Politico. His super PAC says it has gathered enough signatures to include Michigan, South Carolina, Arizona and Georgia. (The real reason he doesn't take the plunge to participate in the LP is that the moderator of the upcoming LP presidential debate is Sincerely,,And, I There are no fangirls. )
Brand the Bible: In other news from a very normal campaign and a very well-coordinated candidate, Trump said: Started selling $60 Bibles For Holy Week. President Trump: „We must get America to pray again'' Said In a Bible sales pitch on Truth Social, this is an interesting message for a man who has repeatedly refused to name his favorite Bible verse, but in a speech at Liberty University in 2016 called it “2 Corinthians.” He called it „The Epistle to the Two Corinthians'' instead of „The Epistle to the Corinthians.'' Don't get me wrong) And…I didn't attend church regularly before it became politically expedient (I still choose to attend only for holidays and photo ops).
„People are so shocked when they find out I'm Protestant. I'm Presbyterian, and I go to church, and I love God, and I love my church.“ , said President Trump, who refuses to reveal the name of the church he regularly attends. return In 2015. 1 video shared „On June 14, 1946, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, „I need a steward.'' ” So God gave us Trump.” report Axios. And in December, President Trump said: I wanted “Create a new federal task force to combat anti-Christian prejudice.”
When you put all this together, it looks like they are trying to make a lot of money by selling God's word while pandering to Christians. Forgive me for not being particularly excited about this area of presidential candidacy, which comes as no surprise to Trump.
New York scenery: It's a good thing the Bronx District Attorney isn't asking for more money for his office. But almost everything else in her petition to the City Council has to do with:
Progressive criminal justice ideas. In one quote, „A lack of resources for youth and mental health is causing violence, subway crime, and retail theft. I can't denounce our way out of this situation. …We… We have to invest in our communities.”

Either you hire someone or you don't. Either print the editorial or don't print it. If you don't want voices and representation that have traditionally aligned with Trump, either say so, or wait for a decision that represents a large portion of the electorate. This instant withdrawal in the face of a Slack channel is very lame. https://t.co/TJJN7tAYRx
