World Cup local organising committee CEO Ricardo Trade says Brazilians have a perfect right to demonstrate during the tournament, as long as it doesn’t spill over to mistreatment of tourists. It is just over six months ahead of Brazil’s first World Cup since 1950, a mammoth logistical undertaking for the giant country of 200 million people. Asked how months of protests at the huge cost, put at around $15 billion (11.2 billion euros), of staging the tournament in 12 cities had affected preparations thus far, Trade told AFP he understood those marching in the streets. “The protests are democratic in a democratic country — save for the violence, which nobody wants to see,” said Trade, speaking from his headquarters just outside Rio where his team can monitor progress on the venues 24 hours a day. “They (protesters) are demanding health, security, schools, education — these are legitimate public desires. “We don’t know what will happen during the Cup,” said Trade.

Mother Jones, Saturday - 09/21/2024 - 12:55 PM
Donald Trump will be campaigning in North Carolina today—without Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, the Republican candidate for governor by his side. The Trump campaign has remained mum about Robinson, a top Trump ally, since CNN reported on Thursday that Robinson had made a series of “inflammatory comments” on a pornographic message board more than a decade ago, including referring to himself as a “black NAZI!” and praising Mein Kampf as a “good read.” This wasn’t Robinson’s first scandal.

The Debate Insult By Kamala That Is Still WRECKING Trump!
Crooks and Liars, Saturday - 09/21/2024 - 08:00 AM
Kamala Harris crushed Donald Trump in the debate a week and a half ago, and it's been a downward spiral ever since. Specifically, one insult was a real bunker-buster. It sent Trump spinning outta control, and he has yet to recover. I know you're thinking "crowd size." Sure, that was a banger.

Opinion: Just say no to “ballot box budgeting” in November
Denver Post, Saturday - 09/21/2024 - 07:53 AM
Heard of ballot box biology? That’s when special interests ask voters to circumvent the expertise and inclusive decision-making of the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission to get what they want.
