Global outcry at ICJ as Israel faces accusations of starving Palestinians At the International Court of Justice, South Africa accused Israel of using starvation as a weapon in Gaza, calling it a breach of international law. Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Belgium, Colombia, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, and Spain echoed concerns, citing Israel's disregard for humanitarian obligations and UN rulings. Representatives warned of a collapsing aid system and worsening famine, urging global action and reaffirming support for Palestinian self-determination amid what was described as an unfolding humanitarian catastrophe. Israel, in its genocidal war, has killed more than fifty-two thousand three hundred Palestinians since October 2023 and wounded hundreds of thousands of others. UN chief urges two-state solution in Israeli war on Palestine United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has pushed countries to "take irreversible action towards implementing a two-state solution" between Israel and the Palestinians ahead of an international conference in June. "I encourage Member States to go beyond affirmations, and to think creatively about the concrete steps they will take to support a viable two-state solution before it is too late," Guterres told a Security Council meeting on Tuesday. France and Saudi Arabia will co-host the conference at the United Nations in June. Daesh-linked militants attack mourners in Nigerian village, killing 15 A wave of terror engulfed Kwaple village in Nigeria's Borno State when Daesh-linked militants stormed in on motorcycles, unleashing a hail of bullets on mourners and killing at least 15 people. "The ISWAP militants opened fire on the mourners and pursued them on motorcycles into the bush as they tried to flee," Ayuba Alamson, a community leader in Chibok, said. Local leaders are gripped with dread, warning that the true death toll may be far higher, with scores still missing in the chaos. Trump marks 100 days, promises defence investments US President Donald Trump kicked off a pair of events in Michigan, celebrating his first 100 days in office. Speaking to a packed rally in Macomb, Trump touted the country's economic growth, declaring, "Companies are coming back to Michigan." Highlighting a $1 trillion defence investment, he praised Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer for securing the Selfridge Air National Guard Base. While his approval rating dropped to 42 percent, according to a Reuters-Ipsos poll, Trump continues to promote his administration's successes, claiming the best start in US presidential history. BRICS unites in opposition to Trump's tariff policy BRICS foreign ministers, including those from China and Russia, criticised the growing "trade protectionism" during talks in Rio de Janeiro, a direct response to US President Dondald Trump's tariffs. Brazil's foreign minister, Mauro Vieira, emphasised the group's ""strong rejection"" of such policies, without naming Trump. Amid escalating tariffs, China has imposed 125 percent duties on US goods, while the US has slapped 10 percent tariffs on numerous countries. The ministers agreed on a unified stance against trade conflicts just ahead of the leaders' summit in three months.

Despite President Donald Trump's social media spin, the polls tell a different story. His approval ratings are plummeting—not rising. A new Reuters/Ipsos poll puts his approval at just 42%, down from 47% after his return to the White House in January. He's also underwater on every major issue—from inflation to immigration—with just 38% approving of his handling of the economy. Pew Research shows an even lower 40% overall approval, while The Economist/YouGov clocks him at 41%. The pattern is clear. Even his base is shrinking. Support among Republicans and GOP-leaning voters has dropped to 75%, compared to 93% support for President Biden among Democrats at the same point in his presidency four years ago. And with 59% of Americans—including a third of Republicans—saying the U.S. is losing credibility on the world stage, it's clear: the emperor's polling has no clothes.

(AURN News) — President Donald Trump's approval rating has slipped to 42%, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll, continuing a gradual decline over recent months. The poll shows a three-percentage-point drop from the 45% approval rating recorded just one month ago, highlighting ongoing challenges for the president in his second term. Trump, who won re-election campaigning heavily on economic policy, now faces diminishing public confidence in his handling of the economy. Only 37% of Americans approve of his economic policies, according to the poll. Immigration policy, another cornerstone of Trump's campaign platform, has also seen eroding support. The survey indicates that 45% of Americans currently approve of the president's immigration policies, down from 50% in polling conducted March 11–12. The Reuters/Ipsos poll comes as the administration continues to implement its second-term agenda following January's inauguration, ranging from the tariff wars to even recent calls to garnish the wages of those who have defaulted on student loans.

One down, 47 to go.With Donald Trump's first month in office coming to a close, we are seeing something that feels a bit more familiar. According to three recent polls, his approval rating is now underwater—meaning more people disapprove of him than approve. This is still essentially the same conversation we were having before. There are deeply entrenched beliefs on both sides, with some convinced he is doing a terrible job and others believing he is performing tremendously.Keep Politics Politics Politics alive! Get two bonus episodes each week! Upgrade to paid!The numbers reflect this divide. A CNN SSRS poll shows Trump's approval at 47% with 52% disapproving. Similarly, a Reuters Ipsos poll reports 44% approval and 51% disapproval, while Gallup's latest survey records a 45% approval and 51% disapproval. I have seen other numbers where he remains above 50% and in net positive territory, but the general trend suggests that the more people hear his name, the less they seem to like him.Sound familiar?At the heart of this, however, is the same issue that contributed to Joe Biden's defeat: the economy. Economic fears and anxieties remain high, and now that people are reminded of both the speed and the sheer volume—both in quantity and loudness—of the Trump administration, there's a sense of, “Ah, okay, here we go again.” If the economy rebounds, Trump could find himself in a very strong position. But if it does not, whatever mandate he might have had will quickly evaporate.It's worth noting that we still have the majority of Trump's first 100 days ahead of us, though you'd be forgiven for forgetting that as it feels like he's been in office for six months.

This Day in Legal History: Beer Hall PutschOn November 8, 1923, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party launched a failed coup known as the Beer Hall Putsch in Munich, Germany. Hitler, alongside other far-right leaders, sought to overthrow the Weimar Republic by forcibly taking control of the Bavarian government and inspiring a national revolution. The plan was set into motion when Hitler and his supporters stormed a Munich beer hall where Bavarian officials were gathered, intending to coerce them into backing the coup. However, the attempt quickly unraveled. As the Nazis marched through Munich, they were met with resistance from police forces, resulting in a violent confrontation that left 15 Nazi supporters and four police officers dead. The coup collapsed within hours, and Hitler was subsequently arrested and tried for treason. Sentenced to five years in prison, he served only one but used this time to dictate Mein Kampf, a manifesto outlining his extremist ideology and future plans for Germany. Though the Beer Hall Putsch was a tactical failure, it marked a significant turning point for Hitler and the Nazi Party. The publicity surrounding Hitler's trial and imprisonment gave him a national platform, which he used to spread his message and gain a wider following. The failed coup illustrated both the fragility of the Weimar Republic and the determination of extremist groups to challenge democratic governance in Germany, foreshadowing the political upheaval that would follow in the coming years.A federal judge has once again dismissed claims seeking to hold Mark Zuckerberg personally responsible in multiple lawsuits accusing Meta and other social media companies of causing addictive behavior in children. US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers found that the updated complaints failed to meet the legal standards required to establish Zuckerberg's individual liability. While this ruling removes Zuckerberg as an individual defendant, it does not affect the ongoing claims against Meta as a company. Plaintiffs argue that Zuckerberg ignored internal warnings from Meta employees regarding the potential dangers of Instagram and Facebook for younger users, allegedly concealing this information from the public.Corporate law traditionally shields CEOs from personal liability, making it challenging to hold Zuckerberg accountable without clear evidence of direct involvement. Judge Rogers noted that, although future evidence might reveal more direct actions by Zuckerberg, the present allegations do not meet the threshold for corporate officer liability. This legal action is part of a broader litigation effort, involving over 1,000 lawsuits by families and school districts in California against Meta, Google, ByteDance, and Snap, alleging similar harms related to social media addiction among adolescents.Zuckerberg Avoids Personal Liability in Meta Addiction SuitsA federal judge in New York dismissed a copyright lawsuit brought by news outlets Raw Story and AlterNet against OpenAI, ruling that the plaintiffs had not shown a concrete injury. The outlets argued that OpenAI unlawfully used their articles to train its AI models, including ChatGPT, and violated the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) by removing copyright management information (CMI) from the articles, such as author names and copyright notices. However, U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon determined that removing CMI alone, without further dissemination or significant harm, did not meet the required threshold for legal standing under the DMCA.Judge McMahon permitted the plaintiffs to submit an amended complaint but expressed skepticism about their ability to present a valid claim. According to McMahon, the real issue seemed to be the uncompensated use of the articles for training purposes rather than the removal of CMI. Although Raw Story and AlterNet attorney Matt Topic stated confidence in addressing the court's concerns through amendments, McMahon warned that the case might lack a viable legal theory under current copyright laws. This lawsuit aligns with a broader wave of legal actions from media, authors, and artists who are challenging AI companies over the use of copyrighted material in model training. In a related development, The New York Times filed a similar lawsuit against OpenAI in December, marking the first major challenge from a media outlet over AI training practices.OpenAI Defeats Raw Story Copyright, Training Lawsuit, for NowOpenAI defeats news outlets' copyright lawsuit over AI training, for now | ReutersA federal judge in Texas has struck down President Biden's immigration program aimed at providing a citizenship path for certain undocumented immigrants married to U.S. citizens. The "Keeping Families Together" initiative, announced in June, targeted approximately 500,000 individuals but faced immediate legal challenges from Texas and several Republican-led states. U.S. District Judge J. Campbell Barker ruled that the program overstepped Biden's executive authority, leaving it blocked as Biden's term nears its end.The initiative has been a focal point in the political landscape, with immigration considered a top priority issue. Former President Donald Trump, who defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the recent election, is expected to implement strict immigration policies, including potential rollbacks of Biden's program. A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll indicates that Americans expect Trump to prioritize immigration enforcement, with many anticipating large-scale deportations. While the Biden administration could appeal the ruling, the White House has not yet commented on potential next steps.US judge rules against Biden legalization program for immigrant spouses | ReutersA federal judge has warned Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor and attorney for Donald Trump, that he could be held in civil contempt if he doesn't comply with a court order to surrender certain assets. Giuliani was ordered in October to turn over property, including his Manhattan apartment and other valuables, to Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss, two Georgia election workers whom he defamed. Freeman and Moss won a $148 million judgment against Giuliani after a jury found he had spread false accusations that they helped rig the 2020 election.Judge Lewis Liman expressed frustration with Giuliani's delays, giving him until next week to meet the court's demands. The plaintiffs' attorney, Aaron Nathan, suggested Giuliani may be shifting assets to avoid collection, including opening new bank accounts and forming a new LLC. Giuliani, meanwhile, claims he is cooperating and accused the plaintiffs of being vindictive, citing their attempt to seize a family heirloom watch. Judge Liman dismissed that argument, affirming that the heirloom was still subject to seizure under the law.Giuliani recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, but his case was dismissed after he failed to disclose his full financial situation, removing his legal protections from creditors. This comes as Giuliani faces broader legal challenges, including disbarment and criminal charges related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia and Arizona.US judge threatens Rudy Giuliani with contempt in election workers' case | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Antonín Dvořák.This week's closing theme is Antonín Dvořák's Piano Quintet No. 2 in A Major, Op. 81, one of the most beloved chamber works in the Romantic repertoire. Composed in 1887, this quintet exemplifies Dvořák's talent for weaving Czech folk music elements into classical forms, creating a vibrant work filled with expressive melodies and rhythmic vitality. Dvořák had already achieved international acclaim by this time, and his music was celebrated for its distinctive blend of Slavic folk traditions and classical elegance. In this quintet, he masterfully combines lyrical beauty with an earthy, folk-inspired character, making it both accessible and profoundly moving.The piece opens with an Allegro ma non tanto, which means “fast, but not too much,” where a lush cello theme sets a warm and expansive mood that's developed between the strings and piano. The second movement, a Dumka, draws on a traditional Slavic musical form that alternates between melancholic and lively sections, allowing for both introspection and joy. Dvořák contrasts this with a lively Furiant for the third movement, featuring energetic cross-rhythms that mimic Czech dance patterns, adding excitement and rhythmic playfulness.The quintet closes with a spirited Finale, where Dvořák's signature energy and folk influences shine through in a triumphant, sweeping conclusion. Throughout, the dialogue between piano and strings feels rich and conversational, each instrument playing a unique role in the music's storytelling. The Piano Quintet No. 2 captures Dvořák at the height of his compositional powers, blending technical mastery with deep national pride and an unmistakable Romantic warmth. It's an ideal selection to end the week on a vibrant and emotionally rich note, as Dvořák's music reminds us of the beauty in blending tradition with innovation.Without further ado, Antonín Dvořák's Piano Quintet No. 2 in A Major, Op. 81, enjoy.  This is a public episode.

In a post-debate surge, Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign has raised $47 million in just 24 hours, signaling a massive wave of support. With a 47% to 42% lead over former President Donald Trump in a two-day Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed Thursday, Harris is capitalizing on her momentum, challenging Trump to a second debate and rallying supporters in key battleground states. Harris' "New Way Forward" tour has seen massive turnouts in North Carolina, with over 17,000 people attending her Greensboro event. The state, where Trump has heavily invested, is now a critical battleground. With a 0.4 percentage point lead, Harris is pushing for increased voter turnout among young, Black, and female voters to secure victory in the Tar Heel State. Today, Harris is in Pennsylvania, another pivotal state, as she continues to expand her electorate. Meanwhile, Trump has dismissed the idea of another debate, claiming victory in the first, while Harris insists that voters deserve another chance to hear from both candidates.

You're with Countdown 2024 ... where election day is 54 short--or depending how you view it, LONG days away.  On today's show we're leaning into the old saying "all politics is local," with a full half hour discussion with embattled LA City Councilmember Kevin De Leon whose in a fight for his political life. But first let's take a spin around the political world to bring you the latest from the campaign trail: The first post-presidential debate polling is out from Reuters/Ipsos ... and while it's just one poll ... it could be the start of Vice President Kamala Harris opening up some breathing room against former president Donald Trump.  Reuters shows Harris up by five points, 47 to 42-percent .... in that same poll respondents have Harris overwhelmingly beating Trump in Tuesday's debate. Speaking of debates ... Trump today, posting on his Truth Social, declared himself the winner of his first debate with Harris ... and emphatically stated there will be NO more debates. On the heels of Taylor Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris for president ... Donald Trump and JD Vance, who were asked about it throughout the day yesterday ... went out of their way to tell everyone that they really didn't care about Swift's choice, and downplayed the impact that an endorsement from the world's biggest music star could have in the campaign. Along the same lines ... Gallup has new analysis out today showing young American women between the ages of 18 - and- 29 consider themselves more liberal today than in previous generations ... particularly on issues like abortion and the environment. The city of Springfield, Ohio has been the focus of a lot of unwanted attention ... after the city was thrust into the middle of a presidential debate by Donald Trump, over his insistence that Haitian immigrants were eating dogs and cats there ... a totally unsubstantiated rumor.   Today multiple city, county and school buildings around Springfield were closed after a bomb threat was called in.  And Haitian families in the town have reported multiple instances of vandalism and harassment ... even going so far as to keep their kids home from school because of safety concerns. It was almost two years ago ... in October of 2022 ... that a secretly recorded conversation between three members of the Los Angeles City Council and a prominent union leader went public ... touching off a scandal that reverberates to this day. The conversation was often tinged with casual racism ... and the subject-matter was how to manipulate the city council redistricting process to best serve the incumbent members to the disadvantage of Black residents. Only one councilmember who was in that room remains:  that's Kevin de Leon, who is currently running for reelection in the 14th Council District ... he joins us live on Countdown.

New polling on Thursday showed Kamala Harris with a widening margin over former President Donald Trump in Reuters/Ipsos poll published Thursday. It found Harris leaders Trump 45% to 41%. Among registered voters, the four-percentage point lead was more significant than the one-point lead Harris had over Trump in the outfit's last poll in July. The poll had a 2% margin of error. Over in polling guru Nate Sliver's latest models, Harris didn't fare as well. "Although we wouldn't advise worrying too much about the difference between a 52/48 race one way versus a 48/52 race the other way – it's not a big difference – this wasn't a good day for Kamala Harris in our model, as Donald Trump is the slight favorite for the first time since August 3," Silver wrote in the Silver Bulletin. "There's one big reason for that – Pennsylvania, which is the tipping-point state more than one-third of the time and where it's been quite a while since we've seen a poll showing Harris leading."

It's Friday, August 9th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus 20 people murdered since Bangladesh Prime Minister resigned Bangladesh Christians are calling for urgent prayer for Christian converts who left Islam to follow Jesus, reports Open Doors. The South Asian nation is in significant turmoil after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, age 76, resigned and left the country, seeking safety after weeks of anti-government protests alleging rampant corruption throughout her regime.   One Christian in northern Bangladesh said, “We spent a sleepless night praying to our Lord for the protection of all our believers.  In many areas, radical groups are compiling lists of converted Christians to attack their houses. Some homes have already been attacked, while others live in fear and hiding, seeking security for their lives.” With Hasina's resignation, Bangladesh's constitutional process requires the formation of an interim government to manage the country's affairs.  The situation on the ground remains volatile.   Over the last three weeks, millions of protesters took to the streets, expressing their dissatisfaction about a quota system that would award jobs to the children of fighters in Bangladesh's war of independence. This led to a violent crackdown on the dissent by government forces. Government structures were targeted and in a particularly striking act of boldness, many individuals entered Ganabhaban, the official residence of the prime minister in the nation's capital of Dhaka. Reportedly, at least 20 people have been killed in the violence since her resignation, adding to the more than 90 deaths on Sunday—which already marked the worst single-day casualty figure from any demonstrations in Bangladesh's recent history. Bangladesh is the 26th most dangerous country worldwide in which to be a Christian. Harris leads Trump in new poll Democrat Kamala Harris leads Republican Donald Trump 42% to 37% in the race for the November 5th presidential election, reports Reuters. The Ipsos poll found Harris had widened her lead since a July 22-23 Reuters/Ipsos survey, which found her up 37% to 34% over Trump. The nationwide poll of 2,045 U.S. adults, conducted Aug. 2-7, found 4% of those surveyed backed independent candidate Robert Kennedy Jr., down from 10% in July. J.D. Vance: Tim Walz is as radical as Kamala Harris President Trump's running mate Ohio Senator J.D. Vance commented on the selection of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as Kamala Harris' Vice Presidential pick, reports Real Clear Politics. VANCE: “The big news of the day is that Tim Waltz is now the V.P. for Kamala Harris. It just highlights how radical Kamala Harris is. This is a person who listened to the Hamas wing of her own party in selecting a nominee. “This is a guy who's proposed shipping more manufacturing jobs to China … and has proposed defunding the police just as Kamala Harris does. “They make an interesting tag team because. of course, Tim Waltz allowed rioters to burn down Minneapolis in the summer of 2020. And then, the few who got caught, Kamala Harris helped them out of jail. “So, it is more instructive for what it says about Kamala Harris that she doesn't care about the border. She doesn't care about crime. She doesn't care about American energy. And most importantly, she doesn't care about the Americans who have been made to suffer under those policies.” In addition, Minnesota Governor Walz supported putting tampons in the public school bathrooms of boys and mandated that all public school teachers use biologically inaccurate pronouns to describe trans students. President Richard Nixon resigned 50 years ago yesterday Exactly 50 years ago yesterday, August 8th 1974, a beleaguered President Richard M. Nixon entered the Oval Office, stared into a television camera and resigned the presidency, reports USA Today. Listen. NIXON: “Throughout the long and difficult period of Watergate, I have felt it was my duty to persevere, to make every possible effort to complete the term of office to which you elected me. In the past few days, however, it has become evident to me that I no longer have a strong enough political base in the Congress to justify continuing that effort. “I have never been a quitter. To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body. But, as President, I must put the interests of America first. To fight through the months ahead for my personal vindication would almost totally absorb the time and attention of both the President and the Congress in a period when our entire focus should be on the great issues of peace abroad and prosperity, without inflation, at home. “Therefore, I shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow. Vice President Ford will be sworn in as president at that hour in this office.” Canadian Supreme Court vs. Jordan Peterson On August 8th, the Canadian Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal by Dr. Jordan Peterson after the College of Psychologists of Ontario mandated he undergo so-called social media “training” or risk losing his license to practice after he challenged the homosexual/transgender agenda online, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Peterson is a best-selling Canadian author and clinical psychologist who gained fame for his opposition to compelled speech and gender ideology. Peterson tweeted that he has been vilified “primarily for publicly opposing the butchers and liars subjecting children to sterilization and mutilation.” The Canadian Supreme Court should heed the Biblical admonition found in Matthew 18:6. “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in Me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Australian high jumper praises God after earning Olympic silver And finally, Australian Christian high jumper, Nicola Olyslagers, formerly McDermott, won silver for Australia at the Paris Olympics, repeating her triumph in Tokyo 2021, reports Evangelical Focus. On Instagram, she posted this statement: “Praise be to God my Rock! He is my strength and song!!” Psalm 150:6 says, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” After her victory, she told ABC Sports, jumping "is like being in a church. My worship might not be my singing, it's in my feet jumping over a bar.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, August 9th, in the year of our Lord 2024.  Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

It's Thursday, July 25th, A.D. 2024. This is The World View in 5 Minutes written by Jonathan Clark and heard at www.TheWorldView.com. Filling in for Adam McManus I'm Ean Leppin. Christians in China Facing the Worst Persecution in Decades Bob Fu, the founder of China Aid, addressed the second International Religious Freedom Summit Asia in Tokyo this week. Fu said Christians in China are facing the worst persecution in decades. FU: “Between 100 to 130 million Chinese Christians are now currently experiencing the worst Christian persecution we have not seen since the cultural revolution in 40 years.” Fu said China has moved from trying to control Christianity to eradicating it. For example, the Chinese Communist Party forbids children from believing in Christianity. Officials encourage family members of Christians to report them. Authorities have also banned private Christian education and many foreign missionaries.  Fu goes on to say that part of eradicating Christianity involves criminalizing aspects of it. FU: “The recent trend shows the Communist party even tried to criminalize the most fundamental elements of Christian worship.  Pastors, one after another, had been arrested for simply putting up an offering box, are now being criminalized as business fraud.  So many pastors already got sentenced from three years, four years, seven years imprisonment for collecting the tithing and offerings.” Please pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ in China, ranked the 19th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian.  Christians in Scotland feel Excluded A recent survey from Logos Scotland found most Christians in the country feel excluded from public life. Seventy-percent of respondents believe the Scottish government does not support them. A similar number said they are concerned about abuse leveled at Christian politicians. Most also said they have experienced discrimination for their faith.  Scotland's latest census data from 2022 found people who identify with no religion outnumbered those who do identify with a religion for the first time.  Netanyahu speaks to Congress As reported by NBC News.  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday delivered an impassioned speech to Congress, taking on protesters inside the House chamber and thousands gathered outside the Capitol. It was his first address to U.S. lawmakers in nearly a decade and the first since Hamas' Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel killed 1,200 people and resulted in the taking of over 240 hostages to Gaza, where about 100 are still believed to be held captive. Netanyahu spoke about that day. NETANYAHU: “October 7th is a day that will forever live in infamy.  It was [a] Jewish holiday.  It began as a perfect day - not a cloud in the sky.  Thousands of young Israelis were celebrating at an outdoor music festival.  And suddenly, at 6:29am, 3000 Hamas terrorists stormed into Israel.  They butchered 1200 people from 41 countries, including 39 Americans.  Proportionately, compared to our population size, that's like 29 9/11s in one day.” Netanyahu also emphasized the importance of the US and Israel standing together. NETANYAHU: “This is not a clash of civilizations. It's a clash between barbarism and civilization; between those who glorify death and those who sanctify life.  America and Israel must stand together.” Vice President Harris Secures Democrat Delegates In the U.S., Vice President Kamala Harris has received enough support from Democrat delegates to become her party's nominee for president.  She has secured 3,180 delegates, well over the required 1,976. This comes after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race on Sunday and endorsed Harris. She went on to raise over $80 million for her campaign in the first 24 hours. The Democratic National Convention meets next month and plans to officially select their nominee by August 7. Trump Leads Harris in Polls Former President Donald Trump narrowly leads Vice President Kamala Harris in recent polls, according to Real Clear Politics. Trump led by three points in a CNN poll with an average lead of 1.7 points across recent polls. However, one poll from Reuters/Ipsos gave Harris a two-point lead. With many voters supporting Biden's decision to not run again, Harris is performing better against Trump than Biden did in the polls. Pro-abortion Work of Harris Speaking of Kamala Harris, the Vice President is an outspoken supporter of killing unborn babies. Emily Davis with Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America warned, “American women and babies lose if she's in office, because she will not stop. She knows whom she's beholden to financially. She is the preferred candidate of the abortion lobby.”  Harris is known for targeting pro-life voices. As California's attorney general, she prosecuted whistleblower David Daleiden in 2016. Daleiden had exposed Planned Parenthood's sale of body parts from aborted babies.  In an interview with Fox News Senator Marco Rubio of Florida said this concerning a potential presidency of Kamala Harris. RUBIO: “Kamala Harris is owned by the left.  She is a product of the left wing of the Democratic party, whether it's defunding ICE, getting rid of ICE, defunding the police.  Single payer health care- I know she's changed her positions when she became the vice presidential nominee.  But these are the things she fought for and stood for and voted for when she was a senator, and that's what she'll do when she's president.  She is a committed California left wing Democrat.  And she will be the most radically left president this country will ever have if she were elected.” Proverbs 29:2 says, “When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan.” Happy Birthday John Newton! And finally, this week marks the birthday of John Newton. He was born on July 24, 1725 in London. Newton was a captain of slave ships in his early life. While at sea, a severe storm brought him to his spiritual senses, leading to his eventual conversion.  Newton went on to marry, become a pastor, and work to end the slave trade. Newton is probably best known for his hymns. Each week he would write a hymn to a familiar tune. Of his hundreds of hymns, he is especially remembered for “Amazing Grace,” “Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken,” and “How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds!” Newton wrote his own epitaph for his tombstone which says, “JOHN NEWTON. Clerk. Once an infidel and libertine, a servant of slaves in Africa was by the rich mercy of our LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST preserved, restored, pardoned and appointed to preach the faith he had long laboured to destroy. Near 16 years as Curate of this parish and 28 years as Rector of St. Mary Woolnoth.” Ephesians 2:8 says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.”  And that's The World View in 5 Minutes on this Thursday, July 25th, in the year of our Lord 2024.

Kamala Harris has the edge over Donald Trump in a new nationwide poll. The Reuters / Ipsos poll puts Harris on 44 percent and Trump on 42. US correspondent Dan Mitchinson says it's interesting the Republican National Convention didn't give Trump a bigger boost. He says what's most impressive is the record-breaking $81 million (USD) raised in donations in Harris's first 24 hours of campaigning.

Vice President Kamala Harris had her first campaign rally today as the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, in a suburb of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Today Harris locked up some more key endorsements, and the first poll taken since President Biden dropped out of the race shows Harris beating Donald Trump. Yes, the Reuters/Ipsos poll, the first one taken entirely since Sunday, gives Harris a 2-point lead over Trump, and it's a 4-point lead with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the survey too. She seems to be getting a bit of a bounce from all the positive publicity, the party falling in line behind her as the nominee, and of course a record haul of almost a quarter of a billion dollars in campaign donations just since Sunday. Harris now has locked up enough delegates, including the entire California delegation, to secure the nomination on the first ballot next month in Chicago, and she will technically be nominated by virtual roll call at the end of next month.  For more on where the campaign goes from here, and the lines of attack from both sides, KCBS insider Doug Sovern and KCBS Radio anchors Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart were joined by Steve Caplan, an Adjunct Instructor at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, and an expert on advertising, digital media and marketing in politics.

(AURN News) — Recently, AURN News reported how a new poll shows that in a hypothetical matchup between former President Donald Trump and several names swirling around as replacements for President Joe Biden, Trump still comes out on top. A new Reuters/Ipsos poll has now thrust former First Lady Michelle Obama into the spotlight as a potential game-changer for the Democratic Party in the 2024 presidential race. The survey, released Tuesday, indicates that Obama could be the party's strongest contender against former President Donald Trump in a hypothetical matchup. The poll shows Obama outperforming Trump among registered voters by a substantial margin of 50% to 39%. This 11-point lead stands in stark contrast to the performance of other prominent Democrats, including President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. In a head-to-head contest, Harris narrowly trails Trump, with 42% support compared to Trump's 43%. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden finds himself in a dead heat with the former president, both garnering 40% support among registered voters. These results come at a time of increasing concern within the Democratic Party about Biden's prospects for re-election following the first presidential debate. The same poll reveals that a staggering 74% of registered voters believe Biden is too old to work in government. While Michelle Obama has repeatedly stated she has no interest in running for office, her strong performance in this hypothetical matchup has reignited discussions about her political future. The poll results also highlight the ongoing challenge Democrats face in finding a candidate who can effectively counter Trump's enduring appeal, especially if they decide to remove Biden from the ticket or he chooses to step down. Despite legal challenges including recent felony convictions and controversies surrounding Trump, he continues to maintain a strong base of support. Learn more about your ad choices.

Half million Palestinians at 'worst hunger level' due to Israel's Gaza war https://www.trtworld.com/middle-east/half-million-palestinians-at-worst-hunger-level-due-to-israels-gaza-war-18176796 Almost half a million people are experiencing "catastrophic" hunger in Gaza, according to a United Nations-backed assessment. The latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, or IPC, partnership said that around 495,000 people — around 22 percent of the Gaza population — are still facing "catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity". This is also known as IPC Phase 5: the worst hunger rating. *) Every day, 10 Gaza children lose one or both legs due to Israel's war — UN https://trtworld.com/middle-east/every-day-10-gaza-children-lose-one-or-both-legs-due-to-israels-war-un-18176961 Ten children per day are losing one or both of their legs in Israel's genocidal war in besieged Gaza, the head of the UN agency supporting Palestinian refugees said. UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini cited figures from the UN children's agency UNICEF and said amputations often take place in "horrible conditions", without anaesthesia. He said that figure "does not even include arms and hands,” of which there are many more cases. *) Australia awaits Assange's arrival after US guilty plea https://trtworld.com/australia/australia-awaits-assanges-arrival-after-us-guilty-plea-18176954 WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has walked free from a court on the US Pacific island territory of Saipan in a deal that allowed him to head straight home to Australia. During the three-hour hearing, Assange pleaded guilty to one criminal count of conspiring to obtain and disclose classified national defence documents. He said he had believed the US Constitution's First Amendment, which protects free speech, shielded his activities. *) ICC issues arrest warrants for Russian military chief, ex-defence minister https://www.trtworld.com/europe/icc-issues-arrest-warrants-for-russian-military-chief-ex-defence-minister-18176787 The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for former Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu and General Staff Chief Valery Gerasimov. The ICC said the decision was made after an investigation into alleged international crimes committed in Ukraine between October 2022 and March 2023. Shoygu and Gerasimov are accused of ordering attacks on civilian infrastructure, as well as committing crimes against humanity of inhumane acts. And finally… *) Trump leads in voter confidence on economy, Biden preferred for democracy https://trtworld.com/us-and-canada/trump-leads-in-voter-confidence-on-economy-biden-preferred-for-democracy-18176973 US voters see Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump as the better candidate for the economy, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll has found. The same vote on Tuesday showed that US President Joe Biden scored better with his approach on preserving democracy. The poll shows that less than five months before the November election, the electorate is divided on the candidates' approach to issues that respondents view as the country's top problems.

This 2024 election cycle has seen several major developments in recent weeks as the nation barrels toward November. At the end of May, a jury in New York found former President Donald Trump guilty of 34 counts related to his alleged hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. Polling since that verdict, though, shows the conviction has not hurt Trump's chances against Biden. A new Reuters/Ipsos poll released last week shows Trump with a two point lead over Biden. The current Real Clear Politics average of recent polls shows Trump with a 0.8 point lead.

May 30th, 2024, just after 5pm Eastern Standard Time, a landmark moment was branded into the 247 year history of the US. For the first time ever, a former American president was found guilty of felony crimes. A jury of 12 New Yorkers deliberated for roughly 10 hours to reach a decision in a case that has people on all sides of the political spectrum debating the integrity of our justice system and the man, himself. In the end, Donald Trump was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records in an effort to influence the 2016 election. And yet, this historic conviction may end up nothing more than a footnote in the 2024 election. In a Reuters/Ipsos poll published on May 31st, only "ten percent of Republican registered voters say they are less likely to vote" for Trump following the verdict. "Among independent registered voters, 25% said Trump's conviction made them less likely to support him in November, compared to 18% who said they were more likely and 56% who said the conviction would have no impact on their decision.”So how does this affect our undecided voters? The answers may surprise you. On today's episode, we gauge the impact of the verdict on Diana, Zahid, Claire, Brian, and Phil and discover that on the road to the White House, even a felony conviction doesn't block all paths.We are now 148 days out from the election.You can⁠⁠⁠ subscribe to Tangle by clicking here⁠⁠⁠ or drop something⁠⁠⁠ in our tip jar by clicking here.⁠⁠⁠The Undecideds is a Tangle Media ProductionThis episode was written by Isaac Saul and edited and engineered by Jon LallInterviews were conducted by Magdalena Bokowa, Will Kaback, Jon Lall, and Ari Weitzman.Music was composed and produced by Jon Lall Hosted on Acast.

Yes, Trump can win the 2024 election. Here are four reasons why He has been impeached twice, tried to thwart the peaceful transfer of power after losing the 2020 presidential election, faces scores of charges in multiple criminal cases, and his critics warn he is plotting to rule as an autocrat. Yet, Donald Trump could still return to the White House. Trump leads his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination by nearly 40 percentage points according to the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll of Republican voters, a remarkable comeback for a one-term president who three years ago appeared vanquished and humiliated. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/yes-trump-can-win-2024-election-here-are-four-reasons-why-2023-12-12/...

Geopolitical/Police State Poll: Majority of Americans See TikTok as a Chinese Influence Tool A majority of Americans see China's popular TikTok app as a Chinese tool meant to influence and shape U.S. public opinion, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll. Some 58 percent of respondents agreed with that the Chinese government uses TikTok, which is owned by Chinese tech giant ByteDance, to “influence American public opinion,” while 13 percent disagreed, with the rest saying they were unsure or didn't answer, according to a report by Reuters. Meanwhile, 46 percent of Americans agreed that China uses TikTok to “spy on everyday Americans.” The survey also found that Republicans were more likely than Democrats to see China using the app to influence opinions in the United States. Moreover, 50 percent of Americans supported banning TikTok, while 32 percent opposed a ban. The rest were unsure.

The Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged at their highest levels in 23 years as monetary policymakers have observed “a lack of further progress” toward the central bank's 2 percent inflation target.Regulatory filings show that former President Donald Trump increased his stake significantly in the company behind his social media platform Truth Social, with the former president now owning nearly 65 percent of Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) and becoming around $1.8 billion richer.A majority of Americans believe that China uses TikTok to shape U.S. public opinion, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted as Washington moves closer to potentially banning the Chinese-owned short-video app.People over the age of 60 in the US reportedly lost more than $3.4 billion in fraud schemes in 2023, a nearly 11% increase from the year before, according to a report from the FBI released Tuesday.

This Day in Legal History: Republic of Ireland ActOn April 18, 1949, a significant transformation in Ireland's political and legal landscape occurred with the enactment of the Republic of Ireland Act. This pivotal legislation marked the culmination of Ireland's progressive move towards full sovereignty, severing the last formal ties with the British monarchy. Previously, the Executive Authority Act had designated the King of England as the head of state in Ireland, a symbolic vestige of the colonial relationship that had long influenced Irish governance.The Republic of Ireland Act, passed by the Irish parliament, Dáil Éireann, in 1948, came into effect on Easter Monday, 1949, resonating symbolically with the 1916 Easter Rising, a key event in Ireland's struggle for independence. By declaring Ireland a republic, the Act definitively removed the role of the British monarch in Irish affairs and also led to Ireland's exit from the British Commonwealth. This move was both a statement of national identity and a reflection of Ireland's desire for complete self-governance.The Act also had profound implications for the legal system in Ireland. It entailed the establishment of a presidential office, replacing the governor-general, a representative of the crown. The first President of Ireland, Douglas Hyde, thus assumed a role that was more clearly defined in terms of national rather than imperial allegiance. Furthermore, the Act necessitated adjustments in the Irish constitution and prompted a series of legislative revisions to align national law with the newly affirmed republic status.Internationally, the Republic of Ireland Act altered Ireland's position on the world stage, allowing it to establish and maintain foreign relations as a fully sovereign state. It represented a shift towards non-alignment and neutrality in international affairs, a stance that Ireland has maintained since.The enactment of the Republic of Ireland Act was met with mixed reactions. While it was a moment of patriotic pride for many, symbolizing a definitive break from colonial rule, it also provoked concerns among unionists in Northern Ireland, exacerbating tensions that were already present.Today, the Republic of Ireland Act remains a cornerstone of Irish constitutional law and a testament to Ireland's enduring commitment to self-determination and independence. Its anniversary serves as a reminder of the long and often tumultuous path to establishing a republic that stands as an equal on the international stage.The criminal trial of former U.S. President Donald Trump in New York faced a significant development when a juror was excused after expressing feelings of intimidation due to her identity being partially exposed by the media. This incident highlights the intense scrutiny and pressures surrounding this high-profile case, which marks the first criminal trial of a former U.S. president. The judge, Justice Juan Merchan, took steps to protect jurors' anonymity and issued a partial gag order on Trump following his criticism of court officials and witnesses.The trial centers on allegations that Trump falsified business records to conceal hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election. Trump, who is concurrently facing three other criminal prosecutions, has pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts in the Manhattan case. His legal team argues that no willful violations of the gag order have occurred, despite accusations from prosecutors of repeated breaches by Trump, particularly on social media.The jury selection process reveals the polarized opinions about Trump, complicating the search for unbiased jurors in heavily Democratic Manhattan. The trial's outcome holds significant political stakes, with a Reuters/Ipsos poll indicating that a conviction could sway voters' opinions in the upcoming election. As the trial proceeds, the focus is on forming a complete jury, with opening statements anticipated next week if the jury is fully seated. The entire trial is expected to last six to eight weeks, potentially concluding before the November presidential election.Trump hush money trial loses juror who felt intimidated, judge says | ReutersA federal appeals court has ruled that U.S. Circuit Judge Don Willett does not need to recuse himself from a case involving a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) rule that caps credit card late fees, despite his son owning stock in Citigroup. The ruling came after concerns were raised about a potential conflict of interest given Citigroup's stake in the outcome of the case, as the company is significantly involved in the credit card industry and is a member of the groups challenging the CFPB's rule.The issue surfaced when Politico reported on Willett's financial interest following a court decision he authored, which moved the case from Texas to Washington, D.C. In response, Willett disclosed that the contested stock was part of his son's education savings account, valued around $2,000. The Judicial Conference's Committee on Codes of Conduct, after reviewing the matter, advised that the connection to Citigroup's performance in the stock market was too indirect to necessitate Willett's recusal.The committee's opinion, authored by U.S. District Judge Gerald McHugh, emphasized that the potential effect on Citigroup's stock was speculative and did not directly impact Willett's impartiality in the case. The CFPB rule at the heart of the case seeks to limit what it terms "excessive" late fees charged by credit card issuers, which reportedly cost consumers approximately $12 billion annually. It mandates that issuers with over a million accounts can charge no more than $8 for late payments unless they justify higher fees. This significant reduction from the previously allowed fees aims to curb financial burdens on consumers. The legal battle continues as part of broader discussions about regulatory oversight and consumer rights within the financial sector.US judge in credit card fee rule case doesn't have to recuse, panel says | ReutersCorizon Health Inc., a distressed prison health-care company, has utilized a controversial bankruptcy strategy known as the Texas Two-Step, affecting inmates who face legal challenges due to limited access to resources. This maneuver involves spinning off liabilities to a new entity, Tehum Care Services Inc., which then filed for bankruptcy, impacting hundreds of inmates with pending personal injury claims. These inmates are now in a precarious position as they await Tehum's decision on how to handle their claims, further complicated by their confinement and limited legal knowledge.A recent judicial decision underscored the challenges faced by these inmates; a judge rejected a proposed $54 million settlement for medical malpractice claims, noting that it was unclear if the affected inmates were even aware of the settlement. This situation highlights the broader issue of inmates' difficulty in accessing timely and accurate legal information, a problem exacerbated by their reliance on the prison's mail system, which is notoriously slow and unreliable.Additionally, the case brings attention to the broader implications of such bankruptcy strategies on the prison health-care sector. If Tehum's strategy succeeds, it might set a precedent for other troubled medical providers to follow suit, potentially affecting more inmates. Critics argue that approving such settlements without proper consent from all parties involved is unfair and deprives inmates of their rights to seek further legal recourse.The case also reflects the systemic issues within prison healthcare services, as other companies like Armor Health Management LLC and YesCare Corp face similar challenges with legal claims and financial instability. The ongoing legal battles and the potential setting of a precedent with Tehum's bankruptcy case highlight the urgent need for reforms in how medical care and legal issues are handled in the prison system, ensuring fair treatment and access to justice for incarcerated individuals.Prison Health Company Bankruptcy Poses Unique Hurdles to InmatesA Texas federal jury has determined that Samsung Electronics must pay $142 million to G+ Communications for infringing on G+ patents related to 5G wireless technology used in Samsung's Galaxy smartphones. The jury specified the compensation amounts as $61 million for one patent and $81 million for another. This verdict follows a retrial on damages ordered by Chief U.S. District Judge Rodney Gilstrap, who questioned the clarity of the previous $67.5 million award given in January, debating whether it should be a lump sum or a running royalty.The lawsuit was initiated by G+ in 2022, accusing Samsung of using its patented technology in 5G-capable Galaxy phones without obtaining the necessary licenses. G+ holds patents that have been recognized as essential for meeting international 5G standards. In defense, Samsung contested the validity of these patents and argued that G+ had not offered licensing terms that were fair and reasonable as required by standards organizations.The case underscores ongoing legal battles over patent rights in the rapidly advancing field of 5G technology, highlighting the significant financial stakes involved. The outcome of this case could have broader implications for technology companies and the enforcement of standard-essential patents. This verdict marks a notable development in intellectual property law, especially concerning the telecommunications industry.Samsung owes $142 mln in wireless patent case, jury says | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

In a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, alarming numbers have emerged for President Joe Biden as he gears up for a potential rematch against former President Donald Trump. The survey, conducted among 1,250 American adults, reveals that Trump is currently leading at 40%, while Biden lags behind at 34%. But a big concern for both candidates is the significant 18% of respondents who expressed their unwillingness to cast their vote if faced with a choice between Biden and Trump. This substantial portion of the electorate opting out of the process underscores a growing disillusionment among Americans with political options that are currently available. Beyond the individual candidates, the poll sheds light on a broader sentiment permeating the electorate – and that is dissatisfaction with the two-party political system. The fact that nearly one-fifth of respondents would abstain from voting underlines a deep-seated frustration with the perceived limitations of the current political landscape. The poll also showed that the age of both candidates is a concern for voters as well. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

U.S. President Joe Biden's chances of re-election are being jeopardized by voters' concerns over his age, the economy and crime, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, creating an opportunity for Republican challenger Donald Trump to return to the White House. The opinion poll found Democrat Biden, 80, tied in a hypothetical November 2024 election against Trump, 77, the former president who is the front-runner for the Republican nomination, with both receiving 39% of the vote and one in five voters undecided. Democrats held a strong advantage among voters most concerned about protecting abortion rights, while Republicans had an edge among those worried about crime, the poll found. Trump remains politically viable despite a battery of federal and state criminal charges revolving around his attempts to overturn Biden's 2020 election win and his mishandling of classified documents since leaving office. He is expected to spend much of next year in courtrooms standing trial while also campaigning.

The war raging between Israel and Hamas continues to take a staggering toll. About 1,200 Israelis were killed and 230 were taken hostage on Oct. 7 when Hamas militants attacked Israel, according to Israel's Foreign Ministry. In response, Israel has mounted a relentless bombardment and ground invasion that has claimed the lives of 1 of every 200 Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, and displaced two-thirds of the population.U.N. Secretary General António Guterres has called for a cease-fire and said that Gaza was becoming a “graveyard for children.” Gazan health officials report that 4,600 children have already been killed in the war.   This conflict has reverberated around the world and throughout the Green Mountains of Vermont. Rallies, marches and vigils have taken place around the state, some that are pro-Israel, others that are pro-Palestinian or that simply call for a cease-fire. Protesters recently disrupted a Burlington fundraiser for Rep. Becca Balint, demanding that she back a cease-fire.On this Vermont Conversation, we hear the voices of Vermonters speaking out about the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Host David Goodman spoke with Rabbi David Edleson of Temple Sinai in South Burlington who just returned from Washington, D.C., where he joined a national rally supporting Israel; Wafic Faour, a Palestinian who is a member of Vermonters for Justice in Palestine; Grace Oedel, a rabbinical student who works with the American Jewish organization IfNotNow that is calling for a ceasefire; and Faud Al-Amoody, vice president of the Islamic Society of Vermont, about the impact of the conflict on Vermont's Muslim community and rising Islamophobia.Faour said of Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7, “I wasn't surprised that something (was) going to happen at one point or another. Gaza (has) been living under a complete siege and (been) an open air prison for the last 17 years.” Faour said he had a “conflicting feeling” about current events. “I had the sadness (about) what's happening over there and my opposing any kind of violence in general, but in another hand, a hope that something better will come out of it.”Edleson said that Israel's assault on Gaza, which has so far claimed the lives of more than 11,000 Palestinians according to Gazan health officials, “at least in the near run, it makes Israeli civilians safer. I'm very concerned in the long run that you're just creating more extremism and that that does not make Israel safer.”More than two-thirds of Americans support calls for a cease-fire, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll this week. Edleson dismissed talk of a cease-fire. “I think it's ridiculous,” he said. “I think a cease-fire right now is like calling for a cease-fire on D-Day in World War II. You know, war is tragic. But sometimes you have to take the momentum while you have it. It's a terrorist organization. It moves around very quickly. I don't think a cease-fire would do anything.”Oedel disagreed. “I am calling for a cease-fire unequivocally right now. I believe that we have a moral and ethical obligation to try to do whatever we can to protect human life.”“I cannot and will not abide immoral violence being done, which is overwhelmingly affecting children and innocent civilians in the name of keeping Jewish people safe,” she said.Al-Amoody said many Vermont Muslims are refugees from war-torn countries and are afraid to speak out about the war. He said there is a double standard, where expressing sympathy for Palestinians means "you are supporting the terrorists.""I cannot even talk about humanity, our moral compass," he said. "I can't even come out and say: this is wrong. People getting killed is wrong on both sides."Oedel said that people caught up in the conflict are desperately searching for safety. “I believe that safety can look like solidarity,” she said of why she stands with those calling for a cease-fire. “We are all safe when we are all safe.”

President Joe Biden's approval rating has hit a seven-month low, plummeting to 39 percent, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll. The drop comes as the 2024 presidential race heats up, showing Biden locked in a neck-and-neck battle with former President Donald Trump. Critics have been questioning Biden's leadership, particularly on matters concerning the economy and foreign policy. Meanwhile, the age factor has also come into play as Biden, at 80 years old, faces doubts about whether he's fit to lead. Interestingly, Trump is 77, and not far behind. A New York Times Siena College poll has Trump leading Biden in five out of six battleground states, with Biden only holding a lead in Wisconsin. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked how the administration felt about these numbers. "Really take these polls with a grain of salt. And one of the reasons why is just a year ago, there was the 'red wave' that never materialized. In 2011, we saw polls of Senator Romney beating President Obama. And that's where those polls were," Jean-Pierre said. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this day in legal history, September 21, 1981, the United States Senate approved the nomination by President Reagan of Sandra Day O'Connor to the United States Supreme Court–making her the first female Supreme Court justice. O'Connor, who often leaned conservative, used her political experience from her time in the Arizona state Senate to shape her judicial views. She was known for filing concurring opinions that aimed to limit the scope of majority rulings. She faced opposition from the time of her nomination from anti-abortion and religious groups. During her tenure, O'Connor was known for her pragmatic approach and often served as the swing vote in contentious cases. Initially aligning closely with conservative Chief Justice William Rehnquist, her voting record later became more moderate as the Court's composition shifted. She played a pivotal role in key decisions, including those related to abortion rights, affirmative action, and campaign finance.She was involved in landmark cases such as Grutter v. Bollinger, which upheld the constitutionality of race-based admissions to universities, and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which preserved the core constitutional precept of Roe v. Wade. O'Connor retired in 2006 but left a lasting impact on American jurisprudence, particularly in her nuanced approach to complex legal issues.O'Connor also had a brief stint in acting, appearing as Queen Isabel in a 1996 Shakespeare Theatre production of Henry V. In a landmark decision, she cast the deciding vote in the 2000 Bush v. Gore case, which ended the Florida vote recount and paved the way for George W. Bush's presidency. She later expressed reservations about the court's involvement in the case.In another historic moment, O'Connor became the first woman to preside over an oral argument in the Supreme Court during the case of Kelo v. City of New London on February 22, 2005. Later that year, at the age of 75, she announced her plans to retire from the bench. Following her retirement, she took on the ceremonial role of the 23rd chancellor of William and Mary College in Williamsburg, Virginia, a position first held by George Washington. Her groundbreaking career remains a significant chapter in the history of the U.S. Supreme Court.The Federal Circuit's active judges have suspended 96-year-old Judge Pauline Newman for one year for failing to undergo medical testing as part of a disability and misconduct investigation. Initiated by Chief Judge Kimberly A. Moore, the probe began after Newman allegedly had a cardiac incident and raised questions about her productivity. The investigation is notable for its public nature, a rarity in judicial disability investigations. Legal scholars suggest that such probes may become more frequent as the average age of federal judges has risen to 69.Newman has contested the investigation, framing it as bullying and arguing that it was motivated by her frequent dissents in favor of stronger patent rights. The council stated that Newman's non-compliance with medical tests hampers their ability to assess her fitness for duty. A special committee had recommended the suspension, citing Newman's consistent refusal to cooperate.Newman's lawyer, Greg Dolin, criticized the investigation's procedures and called the renewable suspension "unlawful" under the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act. Newman plans to appeal the council's order and has also filed a lawsuit seeking reinstatement. She submitted two medical reports affirming her mental fitness, which the council dismissed as inadequate.The case has drawn public attention, contrasting sharply with Newman's recent accolades at a legal conference. Affidavits from court staff depict her as struggling with memory loss and paranoia, adding another layer of complexity to this unprecedented judicial probe.Embattled 96-Year-Old Judge Suspended in Disability Probe (2)A high-stakes antitrust lawsuit has been filed against the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) by around 1,200 former fighters, including Nate "Rock" Quarry. The suit alleges that UFC confines athletes to perpetual contracts and pays them far less than they would earn in a competitive market. The case has been fast-tracked for trial next spring and is closely watched as it could set a precedent for athletes in various sports to fight for better pay using antitrust law.The UFC, owned by Endeavor Group Holdings, generated a record revenue of $1.14 billion last year and reaches over 900 million households globally. Fighters are required to sign exclusive deals, often including four fights per year. However, the UFC allegedly withholds the last fight in a contract until the fighter agrees to renew, effectively trapping them in a cycle of successive contracts.The fighters argue that the UFC is a "monopsony," a sole buyer in a market, and accuse it of abusing this power. Monopsony cases are rare but have gained attention under the Biden administration. While there are other combat sports promotions, the plaintiffs argue that UFC controls the majority of fighters in nearly all weight classes and has also bought or shut down its rivals.The class action status of the lawsuit increases the risk for UFC, as it could be compelled to pay up to $4.8 billion in treble damages. The case could also encourage athletes in other industries to file similar suits. UFC has petitioned to appeal the class certification, arguing that the court erroneously certified the class.The case also highlights the financial struggles of fighters, who are independent contractors paid per bout. While top fighters can earn millions, most fighters have to fund their own training and equipment, leaving them with little net income. The case aims not just for compensation but also to bring about a change in the sport, offering fighters better terms and ending the cycle of perpetual contracts.UFC Fighters Test Antitrust Law to Escape ‘Perpetual' ContractsThe U.S. federal judiciary has enough funds to operate for at least two weeks if the government shuts down due to a lapse in funding. The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts stated that court fees and other available funds could be used to continue hearing cases. Some case deadlines may be rescheduled if federal agency attorneys are not working during the shutdown. If the funds do run out, the judiciary would operate on a limited basis, retaining only the staff necessary for mission-critical work.Current government funding is set to expire at the end of the fiscal year on September 30, putting pressure on lawmakers to reach a deal on a short-term funding bill. Infighting among House Republicans and disagreements between the Republican-controlled House and Democratic-controlled Senate have jeopardized the passage of appropriations bills for fiscal year 2024. House Republicans have proposed allocating $8.7 billion to the federal judiciary for the next fiscal year, while Senate Democrats have proposed $8.56 billion. Both fall short of the judiciary's request for $9.1 billion.Judge Lavenski Smith of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit expressed that a potential government shutdown is a "consistent matter of concern" and that plans are being considered to keep the judiciary operational. The judiciary, which employs nearly 30,000 people, almost ran out of money during the last government shutdown in 2018. The Case Management/Electronic Case Files (CM/ECF) system, used for electronic filing of documents, remained operational during the previous shutdown. The U.S. Supreme Court, which opens its new term on October 2, has used non-appropriated funds in the past to continue short-term operations.Judiciary Has Funds for Two Weeks if Government Shuts Down (1)A legal team that successfully sued Tesla's board of directors for allegedly overpaying themselves is now seeking $229 million in legal fees, amounting to $10,690 an hour. The request was made in a filing in Delaware's Court of Chancery on September 8. If approved, this would be one of the largest fee awards ever resulting from a shareholder lawsuit against a board. The case took several years to build and focused on the compensation paid to Tesla's directors from 2017 to 2020.The 12 director defendants, including James Murdoch and Larry Ellison, had agreed to return $735 million in compensation and forego another potential $184 million. They also agreed to overhaul the board's compensation determination process. The settlement money will be paid to Tesla and indirectly benefit shareholders, making this a derivative lawsuit.The law firms involved in the case estimate the total settlement value at $919 million and are seeking 25% of that sum as their fee. They are also requesting about $1 million in expenses. Partners and staff from the law firms involved have billed thousands of hours on the case.Courts typically review fee requests by balancing the need to reward risk and effort against the risk of a disproportionate windfall that could undermine public confidence in the legal system. David Paige, founder of Legal Fee Advisors, described the fee request as "extraordinary" compared to typical hourly rates for corporate attorneys, which can go up to $2,000.Tesla's directors have not yet objected to the fee request but are expected to do so, according to court filings. A hearing to approve the settlement and the legal fees is scheduled for October 13, and Tesla shareholders have until Friday to file any objections.In 2012, Delaware courts approved an hourly rate that worked out to $35,000 in a Southern Copper shareholder lawsuit, setting a precedent that the outcome achieved should be the focus, not the hourly rate.Lawyers who sued Tesla board for excess pay want $10,000 an hour | ReutersA recent Reuters/Ipsos poll reveals that a majority of Americans, including both Democrats and Republicans, support the ongoing strikes in the auto industry and Hollywood. The poll found that 58% of Americans back the United Auto Workers union's strike against Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis for better pay and benefits. In the entertainment industry, 60% support the strikes by screenwriters and actors for better pay and protections. Among Democrats, the support is especially strong, with 72% backing the auto workers strike and 79% supporting the Hollywood strike. Interestingly, a significant number of Republicans also expressed support for the strikes, despite the party's traditional pro-business stance. The poll reflects a broader trend of increased union activism in the U.S., with 2023 on track to become the busiest year for strikes since 2019.Americans broadly support auto, Hollywood strikes -Reuters/Ipsos pollA U.S. authors' trade group, including renowned writers like John Grisham and George R.R. Martin, has filed a class-action lawsuit against OpenAI. The lawsuit accuses OpenAI of unlawfully training its AI chatbot, ChatGPT, on copyrighted works from these authors. The Authors Guild, which filed the suit, is also concerned that the training data may have been sourced from illegal online book repositories. OpenAI has defended its actions by claiming that the use of internet-scraped training data falls under "fair use" according to U.S. copyright law.

It's Wednesday, April 26th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Ugandan Muslims stabbed Christian evangelist Ugandan Muslim extremists stabbed a Christian evangelist to death earlier this month. A local pastor told Morning Star News, “Herbert was very effective in evangelistic activities. ... His acts of supporting and helping preachers were seen in Muslim circles as misleading many Muslims who left Islam and joined Christianity, especially young men and women. ... As the Body of Christ, we have lost a devoted servant of Christ.” The killing is the latest of many attacks on Christians in Uganda.  Revelation 12:11 says, “And they overcame [Satan] by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.” Bible-believing Anglicans urge disobedient Anglicans to repent Anglicans from around the world met last week in Kigali, Rwanda for the fourth Global Anglican Future Conference. The assembly issued a communiqué called “The Kigali Commitment.” The document affirms the authority of God's Word and calls to repentance those in the Anglican Communion who support sexually perverted lifestyles.  The Church of England has led the departure from Scripture in their support of homosexuality. Now, global Anglicans are rejecting the leadership status of the Anglican branch in England.  Anglicans at the conference represented about 85% of Anglicans worldwide. Biden: My re-election is about more freedom Yesterday, President Joe Biden officially announced he is running for reelection next year. Biden said his campaign is about fighting for more freedom.  BIDEN: “Personal freedom is fundamental to who we are as Americans. There's nothing more important, nothing more sacred. That's been the work of my first term, to fight for our democracy. This shouldn't be a red or blue issue. To protect our rights. To make sure that everyone in this country is treated equally. And that everyone is given a fair shot at making it.” Apparently, these freedoms include killing unborn babies and living sexually perverted lifestyles.  Galatians 5:13 warns, “For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” Two-thirds don't want Biden or Trump A new Reuters/Ipsos poll came out on Monday.  The poll found about two-thirds of voters don't want Joe Biden or Donald Trump to run again.  Along party lines, 44% of Democrats don't want Biden to run again, and 34% of Republicans don't want Trump to run again. Sixty-one percent of Democrats said Biden is too old to work in government, while only 35% of Republicans said the same of Trump.  Biden is expected to have little opposition for the Democrat presidential nomination. Trump is the leading candidate among Republicans at 50% followed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis at 24%.  A hypothetical contest between Biden and Trump in the survey found Biden winning 43% to 38%.  Texas bill requires public school classrooms display 10 Commandments The Texas Senate passed a bill last Thursday, requiring public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments.  The bill passed the Senate 17-12 and heads to the state's House of Representatives.  Republican state Senator Phil King authored the bill. He said the bill “restores [religious] liberties that were lost, and reminds students all across Texas of the importance of a fundamental foundation of American and Texas law—the Ten Commandments.” The Texas Senate also passed a bill to allow public school students and employees to pray and read the Bible. North Dakota governor signed heartbeat bill Meanwhile, in North Dakota, the state's Republican governor, Doug Burgum, signed a heartbeat bill into law on Monday.  The law bans abortions after six weeks of pregnancy with some exceptions. Six weeks of pregnancy is when a baby's heartbeat can typically be detected easily.  North Dakota is now the 15th state to ban or restrict most abortions. North Dakota also banned transgender drugs/surgeries for kids To its credit, North Dakota is also the latest state to ban transgender drugs and surgeries on children.  Governor Burgum signed the bill into law last Wednesday.  Other states which have protected children include Arkansas, Indiana, Tennessee, South Dakota, Iowa, Mississippi, and Florida.  Only 12% of Americans are happy And finally, a recent poll from the Nonpartisan and Objective Research Organization at the University of Chicago found that only 12% of Americans say they are “very happy.” It's the lowest score for happiness since they starting tracking it in 1972. People who said they are very happy were also very likely to say they valued strong relationships, marriage, and the belief in God. Psalm 146:5 says, “Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Wednesday, April 26th in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Transitioning to electric vehicles is essential to meeting our climate goals. But there are so many barriers to overcome – from expanding EV charging infrastructure, to updating the power grid, to mining the metals that make batteries go.In the first of a two-part series on decarbonizing transportation, we try to answer the critical question: is it all happening fast enough to avoid the worst climate impacts?Featuring: Craig Bentley, Nora Naughton, Sara Baldwin, Thea RiofrancosIf you've got a question for the Outside/Inbox hotline, give us a call!
