Publisher Bobby R. Henry, Sr. DNC in Review
The electricity in Chicago at the Democratic National Convention remains undeniable. Still, the real story is how Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign has sent shockwaves far beyond the United Center, energizing battleground states that will decide the 2024 election. What was once a campaign facing significant challenges has transformed into a dynamic, unstoppable force. Harris now leads in most national and battleground state polls—a stunning development achieved in just over a month.
The 36-page indictment, secured Tuesday by special counsel Jack Smith, is an attempt by prosecutors to recalibrate the case.
As the political landscape shifts in anticipation of the 2024 presidential election, one figure remains at the forefront of public discourse: Donald Trump. His recent hesitance to engage in debates, with Vice President Kamala Harris, raises eyebrows and provokes discussion about his overall commitment to democratic values. This avoidance—especially against a fierce and articulate political rival and a Black woman—sends a message that transcends mere personal preference; it reflects a wider strategy rooted in fear of accountability, the desire to dictate the narrative and a public humiliation by the intelligence of a Black woman.
In May, detectives located the couple’s vehicle at a tow yard. Throughout their investigation, detectives were able to identify Maurice Newson, B/M, DOB 11/09/1993, a resident of Hollywood, FL, as the suspect responsible for selling the vehicle to the tow yard. On May 23rd, detectives located and arrested Newson, who was charged with theft of a motor vehicle and dealing in stolen property.
Recently, Orlando women met to underscore health disparities in the medical field and reproductive rights of Black women. The women also praised Vice President Kamala Harris for her work in putting forth policies that will reduce racism in the medical field.
What should not have happened is that hateful people took to the Internet to make fun of Gus. But it did. For example, conservative columnist Ann Coulter wrote on the platform X “Talk about weird.” The comment has since been deleted but that does not erase the despicable sentiment behind making fun of a teenager who expressed his love for his father. Trump supporter and podcaster Mike Crispi referred to Gus as Walz’s “stupid crying son” and wrote on X “You raised your kid to be a puffy beta male. Congrats,” while another Trump support, Alec Lace, who actually hosts a podcast about fatherhood, wrote “Get the kid a tampon already.”
In the Prologue of “Invisible Man,” the great writer Ralph Ellison schools us that “a hibernation is a covert preperation for a more overt action.” Proof of Ellison’s profundity is Vice President Kamala Harris’s emergence as Donald Trump’s worst nightmare: his opponent for president of the United States of America! The fake orange man is beside himself, acting weird, flailing about with figments of an unhinged mind, while ever smiling and confident Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, draw crowds of 10-15 thousand wherever they campaign across America.
