Vice President Harris drops the F bomb about breaking down barriers

Vice President Kamala Harris dropped the F-bomb on Monday about breaking barriers as the “first” to take her position in the White House.
Harris, the first Black American, first Asian American and first woman to function vp of the United States, used the expletive during a moderated conversation at a leadership summit organized by the Asia-Pacific Institute for Congressional Studies (APAICS).
The vp was asked by actor and comedian Jimmy O. Yang about what it was wish to be “the first” and the way her heritage as a black South Asian American influenced her “views and role as a leader.”
The vp didn’t hold back from giving advice to the mostly young people in the room on the way to break down doors which have not been open to them in the past.
“Never carry as a personal burden your ability to do everything you dream and strive for based on other people’s limited ability to see who can do what,” Harris said. “We must know that sometimes the individuals who open the door for you… sometimes they do not. And then you’ve to interrupt down the rattling door.
Harris Attention she drew immediate applause and laughter before saying, “Sorry about my language!”
In her remarks, the vp spoke about being a barrier-breaker and understanding that should you manage to interrupt such a barrier in politics or anywhere else, you do not all the time emerge unscathed – apparently referring to her own profession in breaking barriers and the public ridicule and attendant him control.
“Breaking barriers does not imply you begin on one side of the barrier and end on the other. It involves breaking something, and while you break something, you chop yourself and you would possibly bleed,” Harris said, adding, “And it’s price it each time.”
She advised young people’s rooms: “You walk into these rooms with your head up, shoulders back, whether it’s a conference room, a boardroom, a courtroom, an interrogation room.”
The vp’s candid moment comes after significant travel and interactions with young and young voters of color this election cycle. Harris is currently embarking on her “Economic Opportunity Tour,” through which she visited cities with large Black populations in battleground states – Atlanta, Detroit and, on Thursday, Milwaukee – to focus on how the Biden-Harris administration’s economic policies are delivering jobs and investment to minority communities.
Following the initial roadshows, Vice President Harris announced a $5.5 billion investment through the Department of Housing and Urban Development to extend reasonably priced housing, address homelessness and construct wealth.
Last fall, Harris led a “Fight for Our Freedoms” college tour through which she visited campuses to interact with students about freedoms that Democrats and their supporters say are under threat, including abortion rights, affirmative motion and history education Black people.
“I think he’s very comfortable in front of crowds, talking about issues that are really important to people,” Colbert said. “Her focus was more on a long-term strategy of keeping her feet on the ground rather than winning the news cycles. I think these trips will help achieve that long-term goal.”
Colbert saw Harris’ Monday F-bomb as “leaning in more authentically than she may have been comfortable with in the past.” She believes doing so will serve the vp and the administration well as they battle presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
“Vice President Kamala Harris could be the most effective anti-Trump messenger in the country,” said Colbert, who noted that he was present during Harris’ remarks at the national Emily’s List gala, during which the vp condemned “Trump’s abortion bans.”
“Her position gives her a unique opportunity to speak out on some of the most controversial issues in the country today: reproductive rights, DEI and many other issues,” Colbert said.
She added that as the first Black vp of South America and South Asia, Harris “can’t mess it up like other people,” but when she will be able to “give herself permission to separate her identity from being the right person,” the hand to President Biden … will resonate more.
Colbert concluded: “It’s good for her and more for the administration that she’s giving herself more freedom, perhaps beyond what President Biden would say.”

Donald Trump is facing the unprecedented opposition of loyalists over the donation of “Flying Palace” from Qatar

Donald Trump, whose loyalists got stuck with him for good and bad times, could finally go too far, accepting the “great gesture” of the luxury runny nose jet.
Some of the most famous supporters of the president, including web media data, corresponding to Ben Shapiro and Laura Loomer, broke with Trump in relation to an aircraft price $ 400 million from the royal family of Qatar, the regime critics claims that he is supporting terror and sanctioned the murder of American residents.

“I hope it’s not true,” loom he said Politico on Monday. “If the initial reports are actual, I think it’s disturbing.”
“Qatar is not our friend,” she said, adding that she believes that America under Trump has develop into too cozy with oil -rich country from Western Asia.
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, a Republican, said that the jet doesn’t pass the test or smell.
“There are only many decisions regarding foreign policy and I think people will think that this can affect the decision-making process,” said Paul.
The president doesn’t see what this confusion is about. When asked about it on Monday during the signing ceremony of the White House, Trump laughed at the reporter from ABC News, who asked the query.
“You should be ashamed, he asks this question,” said Trump. “They give us a free jet. I could say” no “, no, I want to pay you a billion, $ 400 million or whatever it is. Or I can say “Thank you very much”.
Trump insisted that the jet wouldn’t be a present for him, but for the US Department of Defense. According to ABC NewsThe royal family of Qatar offered Jumbo Jumbo Jumbo a jet who replaced Air Force One, which could be handed over to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation for its use after leaving the office.
For many, bribery stinks. Trump blamed the American defense contractor for “as long as to build new air force.”
“I think it’s a great gesture of runny nose,” he said. “I appreciate it very much. I would never be one to reject such an offer.”
Perhaps no commentator was harder Under the decision of Trump to simply accept a nose jet than the founder of Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro, who characterised the president’s behavior as “suspicious”, saying that “undermines his program and credibility.”
“Even if it is not a crime, it’s a bad optics,” Shapiro said, adding that movement is a “political poison.”

CNN media analyst, Brian Stoter Reported The controversy regarding the jet is the best schism between Trump and his supporters during the second term of the president.
“This is the biggest break I saw in the first four months of Trump’s return to the office between his pro-Trump Propaganda Machine, those professional stars that always support him, and the president,” said Stoter on Tuesday.
Loomer said that she is nice for the president who doesn’t need to charge taxpayers at the expense of a brand new air force.
“But this will complicate the foreign policy regarding the appointment of the Muslim fraction as a terrorist organization, which was promised and not in the first Trump administration,” she said. “This is a kind of elephant in a room when Trump goes to the Middle East.”
But do personalities like Loomer and Shapiro say on behalf of the magician? The indignation of the every day supporter of Trump has not yet manifested.
“Not so that they are the owners of Donald just because they give him Boeing” wrote One Trump fan on X. “Let a man earn in a nice gesture.”

The White House responds to the rumors of the pardon of Trump Derek Chauvin among the renovated connection Marjorie Taylor Greene

Despite the earlier releases of President Donald Trump and the White Federal House of Pardoning for Derek Chaubin, a former police officer in Minneapolis sentenced to the murder of George Floyd, rumors with potential pardon were renovated.
When this month this month is approaching the fifth anniversary of Floyd’s murder, Governor of Minnesota Tim Walz and Minneapolis officials indicated that they were preparing for the possibility of presidential pardon for Chauvin and later anxieties in the city.
“I think we are prepared for it. Thanks to this presidency, it looks like it could be something they would do” – according to reporters, the Governor Walz recently told journalists Minnesota Star Tribune.
Walz, who was against Trump as the vp of Kamali Harris in the 2024 election, said that his office received “without an indication” whether the White House would give a pardon to Chauvin, who was convicted Up to 21 years after admitting federal allegations for violating Floyd and a youngster in a separate incident. Chauvin was too convicted Up to 22.5 years in prison for the second -cycle murder at the state level.
“If Donald Trump exercises his constitutional law, whether I agree-and I definitely disagree with him-if it seems pardon, we will simply transfer Derek Chauvin to take his 22 and a half years in prison in Minnesota,” Walz said.
Commissioner for the Security of the Community Minneapolis Todick Barnette admitted that city officials heard rumors about potential pardon; Similarly, nonetheless, he emphasized: “Derek Chauvin would remain behind bars, having a state sentence, even if his federal allegations are pardoned.”
He said in an announcement that “there is no reliable intelligence about any pardon or planned interference here in Minneapolis.”
Discussions about Trump potentially pardoning chauvins have been consistent since he returned to the White House in January. Conservatives are continually calling the president to pardon the disgraced officer. Republican US representative Marjorie Taylor Greene renovated the public campaign to pardon Chauvin on Wednesday, writing On X: “I definitely support the pardon of Derek Chauvin and release from prison.”
The conservative fire brand also falsely claimed that Floyd “died of drug overdose”, despite two medical examinations, determining that he died by murder. Chauvin especially held his knee around Floyd’s neck for over 9 minutes until Floyd’s death, despite the multiple black man “I can’t breathe”.
In March, the press secretary of the White House Karoline Leavitt told journalists about the possible forgiveness: “The president was asked and answered this question. He said that he was not considering it at that time.”

The president undertaking such an motion could be in the position he took in 2020 as a president when Floyd was murdered.
“It’s a terrible thing,” Trump he said In the White House in 2020, “we all saw what we saw. It’s hard to come up with something other than what we saw. It should never happen.”
The Prosecutor General in Minnesota Keith Ellison, who managed the prosecution of the State Criminal Case Chauvin, said in an announcement that President Trump has no right to forgive the state belief of Chauvin, “and” the only possible goal could be to express even greater disrespect for George Floyd.
He said clearly: “Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd in front of the whole world.”
