A recent campaign advertisement from Vice President Kamala Harris seeks to portray the candidate as a proponent of border security, even going as far as to include a shot of the border wall built under former President Donald Trump. The advertisement from the Harris campaign uses a shot of the border wall that appears to be taken from a Voice of America news clip from May of this year. “As a border state prosecutor, she took on drug cartels,” the advertisement claims of Harris as it shows the border wall. The footage depicts the border wall in Sasabe, Arizona, where Trump had been building the wall under his term. The Kamala Harris campaign is up on TV with multiple new ads this a.m. — This spot is focused on border security Male voiceover: “As president, she will hire thousands more border agents and crack down on fentanyl and human trafficking. Fixing the border is tough. So is… pic.twitter.com/qb2wS5CLml — Medium Buying (@MediumBuying) August 9, 2024 It isn’t the first advertisement that has sought to portray Harris as a proponent of border security. “Kamala Harris supports increasing the number of Border Patrol agents,” a different ad said. “Kamala Harris supports spending more money to stop human traffickers.” Despite the attempt from the Harris campaign to portray the Democrat as an advocate for border security, the Biden-Harris administration has presided over an unprecedented crisis on both the southern and northern borders. Over 10 million people have crossed the border under the Biden-Harris administration, with an estimated 1.7 million illegal immigrant gotaways recorded since he was inaugurated in 2021. The figures present a stark contrast from the Trump administration, when there were 415,000 total reported gotaways for 2018, 2019, and 2020. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW!

President Joe Biden tasked Harris with stemming the tide of migrants to the border in 2021 shortly after taking office, calling her the “most qualified” person for the role. The Biden-Harris administration also ended DNA testing at the border, which law enforcement previously used to prevent unaccompanied minor immigrants from being sex trafficked. Several polls have indicated that immigration/border security is one of the single most important issues for voters heading into the November election, shedding light on why the Harris campaign may be making a pivot.

Learning to play an instrument can take time. Mastering an instrument is a challenge some musicians will work toward for a lifetime. It takes hours of practice, focus, and dedication to be the best. A very select group of people are truly musically gifted. They play so well it’s almost unbelievable. Maya Neelakantan is one such artist. Maya is only 10 years old, but her guitar-playing skills rival some of the best we’ve ever heard. She competed in the quarterfinals of America’s Got Talent, and her most recent performance sounded like a true rock star. Maya Neelakantan Jammed Her Guitar To Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” On “AGT” The AGT star played Metallica’s Master of Puppets, which is notably difficult for even the most talented guitar players. But at just 10 years old, Maya killed it. She walked onto the stage playing her instrument with such ease it blew the judges away. At the end of her performance, Howie Mandel told her that looking at her and hearing the song was totally unexpected. “You are a surprise. You’re amazing. I love You!” Judges Heidi Klum and Sofia Vergara concurred, giving the tween props for being authentically herself and taking on such a challenging song. Simon Cowell loved it and told Maya, “I think you’re just one of these people with a God-given talent.” Maya told host Terry Crews she was so excited to be there and thanked Metallica for such a great song. Fans are rooting for Maya to go all the way to the top. Fans flocked to AGT’s YouTube to watch Maya perform. Someone wrote, “As an Indian, I am so proud to see Maya do this amazing performance. Her God-given talent is definitely honed with hours of practice. There will be a time when she will outgrow all competitions.” This person agreed, “Maya Neelakantan must be in the top 5 finalists.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

A Hanover, PA proprietor is facing fines & jail time for supposedly breaking a state law against tarot reading. The local police have threatened to arrest her. A lawsuit has been filed."Breaking the 163-year-old law is punishable by up to one year in jail and a $2,500 fine, the lawsuit said.A Pennsylvania fortune teller is suing local law enforcement and local government claiming that an 1861 statute banning tarot reading for profit is unconstitutional, violating their free speech protections. The lawsuit, filed Aug. 19 on behalf of Beck Lawrence, owner of The Serpent’s Key Shoppe & Sanctuary, names Hanover Chief of Police Chad Martin and Hanover Borough as defendants.McClatchy News reached out to the defendants on Aug. 23 for comment but did not immediately hear back. “Martin and another unidentified officer entered my place of business, denied me the right to record our conversation, and then threatened to arrest me for up to a year or charge me a $2500 fine for…tarot reading,” Lawrence said in an Aug. 21 Facebook post recounting the October 2023 incident. “While they assured me verbally they weren’t taking me to jail that day... if they had any other credible reports of fortune telling, they would be back and would take action,” Lawrence said.Lawrence seeks declaratory and injunctive relief as well as a jury trial, according to the lawsuit. “I’m willing to take this fight up to the Supreme Court if I have to,” Lawrence told WGAL. 1861 FORTUNE TELLING STATUTE Enacted in 1861, Pennsylvania’s Fortune Telling statute states that a person is guilty of a misdemeanor if one “pretends” to tell fortunes or predict the future for “lucre,” or profit, according to the lawsuit. The statute prohibits future and fortune telling “by cards, tokens, inspection of the head or hands of any person, or by the age of anyone, or by consulting the movements of the heavenly bodies, or in any other manner,” according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit argues that the statute is a content-based free-speech restriction “not narrowly tailored to serve a compelling government interest.” “Telling fortunes is simply speech, even if done in exchange for lucre,” the lawsuit said. “At its most basic levels, tarot card readings are a form of entertainment and a bonding activity,” the lawsuit said, adding that Lawrence shares a disclaimer with customers that readings “should not be used as professional advice.” Not having “pretend” defined in the context of the statute also means a person who “sincerely believes” they can forecast the future would still be criminally liable if the government determines all fortune tellers are “pretending,” according to the lawsuit.The lawsuit points to Pennsylvania’s legal allowance of fortune cookies, the sale of Magic 8 Balls, sports betting, weather forecasts, and free fortune telling as evidence of the statute’s “unprincipled” application.Other legal experts say the law is in place to protect “gullible people from being ripped off” despite disclaimers from fortune tellers that their services are for entertainment purposes only. Attorneys representing Lawrence are asking the court to rule that the statute violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.Hanover, PA is about a 120-mile drive southwest of Philadelphia." - Fortune teller threatened with jail for breaking 1861 law, Pennsylvania suit saysNOTE: This is a continuing legal case occurring in my community. I have been to the Serpent's Key on several occasions and have talked to Beck and others. It's high time that this antiquated thinking and archaic law is put to rest. I have offered any assistance that I can provide to end this senseless harassment. Lon**********PHANTOMS & MONSTERS VIDEO LIBRARYPOLL: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Here is a series of brief, recently received, witness Bigfoot sightings & encounter reports from the United States & Canada.I received the following brief Bigfoot reports:"No Date - Western Kentucky: Tom Hedges recalled that after some cattle had been found killed, 13 men were hired to patrol the area. They reported one evening, seeing a “large bear” or something “gigantic... hairy... man-like” running across the pasture on two legs. One of the men shot at it twice and it ran off. He was certain that he hit it. Two days later, the local news reported that a female motorist claimed to have observed what she described as a “dead Bigfoot” on the highway. Calls were made to the local police to clarify this but they denied it. Afterward, they had no more trouble with the cattle."-----"1998 / Barber County, Alabama: A young man (no name given) sitting in a blind at night claims that he heard the sounds of something in mourning walking (on two legs) through the swamp. “The cry I heard was anguish and it was mixed with some kind of unintelligible words. It was like someone who could not hear properly to form their words correctly but who had experienced a great loss,” the witness recalled. “It passed behind me onto my left and it stepped slowly through the water as it continued to cry and express its grief in some guttural language that I could not understand.” He remembered being overcome with sadness to the point of crying. He made it out of the forest unharmed."-----"2014 September / Mississippi: Two hunters on the Tombigbee River in North Mississippi claim that they encountered something coming through the bush that sounded like a freight train after stumbling over a crudely made structure. Several sets of shredded bloody clothing, including a wallet, were found inside and around said structure. Upon getting back to town, they handed the items they had grabbed over to the local police. The police refused to let them take them to the location. Days later, the police informed them that they found nothing in the woods, no structures, nor did the wallet have any content. The witness noted that this was an outright lie, as it was filled with paperwork when they handed it over. Cover-up?"-----"1977 - Nassau, New York: I grew up in Nassau New York on Lords Hill on RT 20 in the mid to late 70s, my brother and I were behind our house in a tall oak tree (1977) when all of a sudden we see a big hairy man emerge from the tree line about 200 yards away- definitely not a bear - the only thing I can assume was Bigfoot. The big beast slowly walked over the hill and down the other side never to be seen again. I will never forget that summer afternoon. The area was very rural back then and there were many dense forests and open fields everywhere. I believe what I saw was indeed Bigfoot."-----"No Date - Vancouver Island, Canada: Come to Vancouver Island. Many stories. Of sightings on the road to Tofino.  My son was friends with a local lumber driver who was delivering wood to Tofino in the early morning. He was driving when all of a sudden down the road a tall hairy person jumped from one side of the road to the other in the bush. The guy was shocked and pulled over where he jumped from and had a picture of a very large footprint.  He gave the picture to my son who then gave it to me."-----"1980s – Idaho: I live in Idaho, 30 miles from the British Columbia border. This area is fairly settled and logged over now but until the 80s was mostly old-growth timber. My uncle lived a mile or so away and, one night was disturbed by what he thought was a bear on his porch and ran out with a 30 30 to deal with it. According to him, instead of a bear, it was a 9 foot tall ape-like thing, all hairy and stunk like the devil. He ran back in the house and locked the door and it was several years before he would go out at night alone."**********PHANTOMS & MONSTERS VIDEO LIBRARYPOLL: WHAT DO YOU THINK?
