When I was young, I suffered from extremely low self-esteem. I had some trauma I didn’t know how to process, and it made me hate myself. I remember thinking I was too skinny and too ugly, that no boy would ever love me. I just wanted to be beautiful like...

Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, has reportedly narrowed her list of running mate candidates to three contenders. According to Bloomberg, the list includes “three elected officials with nationwide appeal.” Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz Bloomberg reports the Harris campaign is zeroing in on three top contenders for VP slot and Gov. Tim Walz is one of them.https://t.co/I3o2zbWvA8 — Caroline Cummings (@CaroRCummings) July 27, 2024 Bloomberg reports: Kevin Munoz, a spokesperson for the Harris campaign, said she “directed her team to begin the process of vetting potential running mates” but declined to elaborate on the search. Harris is expected to make a selection by Aug. 7, in order to align with the party’s plan to virtually nominate a ticket by that date. Picking a vice presidential candidate will cement the Democratic standard-bearers to take on Republican nominee Donald Trump and running mate JD Vance in the November election. Harris’ sidekick can serve as a force multiplier who can campaign and raise money on her behalf, while ideally complimenting her strengths and covering any vulnerabilities. Most on Harris’ list are White, male politicians with centrist leanings who could help Harris appeal to swing-state voters, as well as business leaders and donors. They have a track record of attacking Trump and his firebrand style of politics. Walz has gained momentum with progressives, enough to vault himself into consideration, according to people familiar with the matter. 3 men, including Gov. Shapiro, said to be atop Kamala Harris’ VP list https://t.co/pmaNoMtwJY — PennLive.com (@PennLive) July 27, 2024 Trump campaign manager Chris LaCivita said Wednesday that “reliable sources confirm” Kamala Harris will choose Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro as her running mate. However, these reports remain unconfirmed. Reliable Sources confirm, Kamala (@VP ) To Pick @GovernorShapiro from PA — Chris LaCivita (@LaCivitaC) July 24, 2024 From PennLive: Former Attorney General Eric Holder is leading the vetting process. Holder’s law firm, Covington & Burling LLP, has 12 to 15 files on candidates, according to one person familiar with the process, showing Harris initially cast a wide net. Shapiro is a popular governor of arguably the most important swing state, and a skilled orator who has performed strongly in rural areas, a weakness for Democrats. Walz, a former teacher and Army National Guard member, could dash Trump’s hopes of making Minnesota competitive and mirror Vance’s Midwestern appeal. Kelly’s state doubles as a battleground and border area, and he has broken with Biden on immigration issues. His wife, Gabrielle Giffords, is a former congresswoman who became a gun control activist after surviving an assassination attempt in 2011. Harris also is looking at the Biden Cabinet for options. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg are being vetted, the people said. A Harris campaign official said she is evaluating potential picks based on shared political values, including on the economy and democracy, and their ability to act as a governing partner and lead the country, if necessary.

Josh Shapiro, a possible vice president to Kamala Harris, is lauding and promoting the drag queen and transgender culture for Pennsylvania kids. I sometimes think Democrats promote debauchery as a distraction. Shapiro is all for destroying Pennsylvania’s oil, gas, and coal industries. He has overseen millions of dollars going to the transgender surgeries of children. […] The post Josh Shapiro for Drag Queens & Transgenderism for Kids appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Fart jokes are almost always funny, no matter who is telling them. Cruz, the African grey parrot, includes farting in his repertoire of sound effects. After making the well-known “fart sound,” this humorous little guy always says, “Wow.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cruz the African grey (@cruztheafricangrey) According to experts, birds lack the necessary gut bacteria and digest their food too quickly to form gas. Therefore, it is their “scientific” ruling that birds cannot fart or burp. However, in a video response to a follower’s question of, “wait so… birds fart?” Cruzy’s mom shows indisputable proof that birds do indeed fart. While perhaps not common, at least one farting parrot exists (or so we think). View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cruz the African grey (@cruztheafricangrey) We are confident that the most audible farts from Cruz are sound effects. There is no denying the airflow around his tiny cloaca in the one shot of him on his back! But, alas, his mom comes clean later in this clip, saying that it is the bird’s humorous sound effects and nothing more. Cruz has a wide array of sound effects that include police sirens, burping, farting, coughing, and sneezing. They will surprise you if you have never been around an African grey parrot. If you watched both videos above, you heard a wide range of farting noises from the happy little parrot. Images from TikTok here and here. Cruz does not seem like an average pet bird. Typically, when a cage is covered, the bird assumes it is nighttime and sleeps. Cruz is not even pretending to sleep under his covered cage, which is quite entertaining. A quick trip through his Instagram feed shows his day-to-day life in London. He uses the toilet and shouts, “Woooo!” This Elmo-loving parrot is not an ordinary bird. If you laughed, please share.
