You know it’s bad when not even the friendly setting of an interview with MSNBC can make Kamala Harris sound coherent. “This may be the reason why they’ve got all this internal polling showing that people are panicking,” Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” comments, noting that the interview was “disastrous” despite Kamala “sitting down with someone who clearly already loved her.” In the interview, Kamala was asked by MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle about “Americans who don’t see themselves” in her plans. “For those who say these policies aren’t for me, what do you say to them?” Ruhle asked. “Well, if you are hardworking, if you have the dreams and the ambitions and the aspirations of what I believe you do, um, you’re in my plan,” Kamala answered. “I have to tell you I really love and am so energized by what I know to be the spirit and character of the American people.” After rambling a little longer about “hopes and dreams,” Kamala then went into describing her “opportunity economy” and how she comes “from a middle-class family.” “That was like a minute and 30 seconds of saying absolutely nothing,” Gonzales says. BlazeTV investigative journalist Steve Baker is also in awe that the interview went as badly as it did considering the easy nature of the setting. “She had the most friendly of friendly interviewers, and she still can’t reach forth and find a thought that will tie it all together in one pithy comment or response,” he says.

We are a few weeks into our travel experience: long enough to form basic impressions, but not quite long enough to develop confident insights into what all this means for our family. Still, I think that the basic impressions are worth documenting, even if I’m someday surprised by future changes or reversals. The first thing that stands out to me about life here in Budapest is the near-universal respect for public space, be it public school, public parks, or public transportation. Cleanliness and accessibility in all these areas add a basic ease to our day-to-day life here that just isn’t present in America. Like a boiled frog, I think I’ve grown accustomed to certain experiences in America’s public spaces, coming to regard them as inevitable, as 'part and parcel' of living in a major city. My eldest had her first (ever) day of school here in Budapest. It is a public school formed by a basic Montessori philosophy, which means the schedules are almost entirely play-based. Upon entering the school, children put on their “inside shoes,” wash their hands, and say good morning to their teachers. They play outside, then inside, where they are taught to put their toys away after finishing. They garden, they do arts and crafts, and they are fed nutritious meals and snacks throughout the day, which cost me less than $15.00 per month. Teachers are gentle and empathetic; during the first weeks, parents may stay as long as necessary so that the child can acclimate, and children may freely take “mommy days” off of school, free instead to be with family. Parents can pick their children up any time after lunch. Any ideological activism regarding gender and sexuality is punishable by law, but the people involved would never think of such a thing in the first place. From what I can tell, these provisions were made preventively by conservative Hungarians in Parliament who see America and the rest of the West as a petri dish for self-destructive mind viruses. I’m truly startled by the high quality and low cost of early childhood development programs. Beyond school, these are present in every museum, the opera, and other artistic hubs. The playground situation is similarly, wonderfully surprising. Almost every block has a well-maintained, safe, enclosed, and well-lit playground with segments dedicated to various age groups. Vagrancy and criminality exist but are relatively rare; I have not yet seen or encountered a violently mentally ill person accosting another pedestrian. It isn’t uncommon for families to gather at playgrounds after dark, something that is basically unthinkable in America. Getting to wherever we want to go — the zoo, playgrounds, museums, etc. — is basically seamless. Public transportation is similarly clean, free of dubious characters, and accessible. Trams, buses, and metros almost always have handicap and stroller-accessible doors and spaces to store even a huge stroller. The people of Budapest are as family-friendly as their infrastructure. It is not uncommon for an elderly lady to smile and sit patiently with a stranger’s child on the tram. I have not received any scathing glances from passersby. I truly feel a spirit of understanding and patience for children. They can eat at restaurants and be kids without fear of reprimand. Like a boiled frog, I think I’ve grown accustomed to certain experiences in America’s public spaces, coming to regard them as inevitable, as "part and parcel” of living in a major city. But the endless chain of instance after instance after instance of unsavory, antisocial behavior contributes to an underlying anxiety, rage, and sense of being trapped at home, especially as a mother of young children. In Charlotte, my husband and I basically stopped going downtown for date nights after being accosted by vagrants and followed to our car on one unfortunate anniversary. Legal, technical freedom may be enshrined in our founding documents. But not a city in America today can boast that its citizens are free to walk past nightfall without fear of violence. In the past few years, major cities across America have experienced serious increases in violent crime as well as major spikes in traffic fatalities due to recklessness. I felt it in Charlotte before we left. Despite increased enforcement from officers, our police department saw an 8% increase in violent crimes in 2024. This includes homicides (+36%), aggravated assaults (+9%), and juvenile property crime (+19%), among other things. In D.C., my old stomping grounds, violent crime also spiked nearly 40%, driven largely by a surge of murder, armed robberies, and carjackings, many of them also perpetrated by kids. That this most basic quality of freedom — as a mode of being in the world, rather than its legal iteration — would make daily life better seems like such an obvious point. It stands out because of the irony in the comparison to a country that has been ruled by communist dictatorship in recent history. Of course, the contours of criminality in America are a third rail, politicized beyond the bounds of polite conversation. This is a tragedy, too, not least because our prissy delay of plain justice just leaves the problem to our children. An object in motion stays in motion. It hasn’t been long, but living here in Budapest, I get the sense that a more peaceful life is possible — for ourselves and for our posterity.

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he will run for mayor of New York City if Mayor Eric Adams is ousted, the New York Post reported Saturday.

William Shatner boldly captained the Starship Enterprise for decades as Captain Kirk and the Star Trek franchise has continued to endure for decades more. Others have now put their spin on the character, but Shatner is willing to return to the franchise, but only under two very specific conditions. Originally, actor Jeffrey Hunter was fronting NBC’s first vision of Star Trek in the show’s proof-of-concept pilot. The network was intrigued but not ready to buy it yet, so the crew went looking for a new captain. Shatner was in just the right place at the right time to put his lighter spin on the role, and Star Trek was able to not only get off the ground but to live long and prosper. Now, what two conditions might get Shatner to return? Two very important conditions would get William Shatner to return to ‘Star Trek’ STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK, William Shatner / Everett Collection Trekkies were treated to a blast from the past in the future when Leonard Nimoy reprised his role as the Vulcan Spock in J. J. Abrams’ 2009 Star Trek. In it, he played an older version of the character portrayed primarily by Zachary Quinto in the film. Similarly, Patrick Stewart returned to the role of Jean-Luc Picard for Star Trek: Picard. Can the same be expected for Shatner? RELATED: William Shatner’s Transformation Over The Years From 25 To 92 Well, Shatner was asked exactly that when speaking with The Hollywood Reporter back in March 2024. “Leonard [Nimoy] made his own decision on doing a cameo [in J.J. Abrams’ 2009 Star Trek],” Shatner mused in response. “He’s there for a moment, and it’s more a stunt that Spock appears in a future. If they wrote something that wasn’t a stunt that involved Kirk, who’s 50 years older now, and it was something that was genuinely added to the lore of Star Trek, I would definitely consider it.” Similarly, Stewart had three conditions for his return to Picard. He did not want it to be a The Next Generation revival or for his former his co-stars to be central figures. “This was not at all a mark of disrespect for my beloved fellow actors,” he insisted in his memoir, Making It So. “Rather, I simply felt it was essential to place Picard in entirely new settings with entirely new characters. Perhaps Picard might encounter Riker or Dr. Crusher in the second season, but such encounters were not to be the series’ raison d’être.” He also hoped it would explore Picard’s relationship to Starfleet; however, at the same time, Stewart did not want Picard to be formally tied to Starfleet, and thus not obligated to don a uniform of affiliation. Finally, Stewart was insistent that the show only run for three seasons. Where it all began STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME / Everett Collection Star Trek led, as originally intended, by Hunter’s Pike, presented a different approach to its lead, as seen in “The Cage.” “Jeffrey Hunter, good-looking guy, he was quite a name,” recounted Shatner of his serendipitous trek to becoming Kirk. “They presented the pilot to NBC and then there’s that moment when the gods — and, in this case, NBC executives — decide to buy or not to buy. To buy, or not to buy, that is the question! They said, ‘No, we’re not going to buy it, because we don’t like it. But we like the idea. So rewrite, recast and we’ll give you the money to do it.’ I’ve never heard of that happening before or since.” STAR TREK V: THE FINAL FRONTIER / Everett Collection “So they went around looking for a new captain,” he continued. “I was in New York doing some work. They called me and said, ‘Would you come and see the pilot?’ With the idea of me being the captain. And I watched the pilot [and thought], ‘Oh my God, that’s really good. Why didn’t they buy it?’ Yet [the actors] were a little ponderous. Like, [soberly] ‘Helmsman, turn to the Starboard.’ You’ve been out five years in the middle of space, wouldn’t you say, [casually] ‘Hey, George, turn left’? ‘There’s a meteor coming!’… ‘Well, get out of the way!’ So I added a little lightness. Then it sold.” Would you want to see any Star Trek veterans return to the Starship Enterprise?
