Trump used a mini-rally in Mankato, MI, to label Democrats 'fascists' who want to 'erase our borders, eliminate our police, vilify our heroes, and take away our energy.' He claimed a liberal Democratic congresswoman, Pramila Jayapal, had boasted she had 'total control' over Biden, who he called 'this jerk,' and also called Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar 'horrible,' and claimed Nancy Pelosi 'does not love our country.' The state's governor, Tim Walz, claimed Trump had wanted to speak at the memorial for George Floyd where he was killed in Minneapolis. The White House disputed the claim.

Aug. 17 - Hoping to win over Minnesota in the fall election, President Donald Trump on Monday pounded political opponents as a threat to the nation and portrayed himself as a law and order candidate during an hourlong campaign speech at the Mankato airport before heading to Wisconsin and vowing, “I’ll be back.”

“We’re going to have an election that is all about the survival of this nation,” Trump told supporters.
In remarks similar to those he made in October in Minneapolis, Trump attacked opponents in Minnesota and around the country, from Minneapolis DFL U.S. Rep Ilhan Omar to U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

He described former Vice President Joe Biden, who’s expected to formally receive the Democratic nomination this week, as "a “puppet of left-wing extremists trying to erase our borders, eliminate our police, indoctrinate our children, vilify our heroes, take away our energy”... more

Trump's moves risk further fracturing the global internet, upending families and online communities, and disrupting the flow of tech investment and innovation in both countries, without necessarily putting in place a set of policies to ensure popular apps — be they from China or the US — guarantee the privacy and security of their users.

"The solution can't be to undermine the free flow of information that underpins the internet," said Susan Ariel Aaronson, an expert on internet governance at George Washington University. "What worries me is that the US is becoming China by trying to block off apps." more

Kamala Harris is boosting Biden in a state Trump desperately needs to win: report

Aug. 15 - On Saturday, Politico reported that Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) being added to Joe Biden’s ticket has “electrified” a group of voters who normally are ignored by both parties: West Indian voters. And this could make a big difference in Florida — a state that could decide the outcome of the election.

“Calls from Caribbean radio show hosts flooded the Biden campaign from South Florida. And a jolt of excitement shot through the crowd of early vote poll workers at the Lauderdhill Mall, in the midst of Broward County’s growing Jamaican community,” reported Marc Caputo. “‘There was just this sense of energy,’ state Rep. Anika Omphroy, a daughter of two Jamaican immigrants, said in describing the moment the announcement was received. ‘It was all Black women out there working under the tents,’ she said. ‘It was 98 degrees in August in South Florida, so it was too hot to cheer. But you could feel it, this sense.'” source

Donald Trump to visit sick younger brother, 72, in hospital

Aug. 15 - US President Donald Trump’s younger brother, Robert Trump, has been hospitalised in New York, according to the White House.

Mr Trump is expected to visit his 72-year-old brother at a hospital in Manhattan on Friday, according to White House spokesman Judd Deere.
