The title track of the MC5's debut live album was the incendiary call to arms that ignited punk’s vital spark in 60s Detroit

It’s amazing how Kamala Harris keeps getting asked the same questions and never gives a decent answer. NBC reporter Peter Alexander asked her what she would do differently than Joe Biden. “I mean to be very candid with you, you, even including Mike Pence, vice presidents are not critical to their presidents. I think that […] The post Kamala Still Doesn’t Know What She’d Do Differently from Biden appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan described over the weekend being tortured inside a Russian labor camp where he was illegally held for years after Russia held him on bogus charges in an attempt to force the U.S. to release incarcerated Russian spies. Whelan made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” with host Margaret Brennan while discussing what it was like being held in a FSB prison. “The Russian government wanted to put pressure on the United States by treating me badly,” he said. “Sleep deprivation is considered torture. What the Russians did in Lefortovo Prison, it’s the FSB prison in Moscow, they kept a light on 24 hours in my cell. So sleeping was very difficult.” “At the labor camp for four years, they would come every two hours to my bed at night, and they would wake me up,” he continued. “They’d shine a light in my face and take a picture. At first, they would ask me, you know, what my name was, things like that. But it turned into harassment. So for that four year period, every night, every two hours, I was woken up. Getting off that sleep pattern has been very, very difficult. So now you know, I’m sleeping better than I was, but it is still tremendously difficult to sleep for six or eight hours at a time.” He said that he worked in a forced labor camp and now suffers from PTSD. “I think it’s very difficult,” he said. “And, you know, you throw in the piece with the sleep deprivation and some of the other shenanigans. You know, holding books, holding mail, not letting me, you know, experience my own language. You know, not letting me hear my own language. You know, even though it’s against the law for them to try to force me to speak Russian, things like that.” WATCH:

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin said over the weekend that former President Donald Trump was surging in the polls because he cares about the issues that matter the most to voters. Youngkin made the remarks during a “Fox News Sunday” interview with Shannon Bream while discussing the state of the 2024 presidential race. He said that the reason Democrats resort to making pathetic attacks against Trump is that they do not have a candidate in Vice President Kamala Harris who is “unable to really convey a future vision for the country and what she will do to tackle the most important issues.” “The reality, of course, is if they would just focus on what the voters are focusing on, which is the economy, the border, national security, and of course, feeling safe in our own country because of the number of illegal immigrants who have come across and turned every state into a border state,” Youngkin said. He said that as he travels around his purple state and listens to voters that what he hears is their “massive concern about the economic future and their ability to afford groceries, gas, tuition, and to buy a home or make rental payments.” “What I hear over and over again are major concerns about the millions of people that have come across the border and the hundreds of thousands of violent criminals that have crossed the border, just identified two weeks ago by senior ICE officials,” he said. “What I also hear are major concerns about safety. These are the topics President Trump is talking about.” “The reason why the other side can’t talk about them, and why they want to distract everyone, is because they have demonstrated over the last three and a half years that they don’t have the answers,” he continued. “They’ve unleashed unprecedented inflation that has been a gut punch anytime someone walks into a grocery store, they’ve allowed millions upon millions of illegal immigrants to come across the border and turn every state into a border state.” He said that what has happened over the last three and a half years is the result of having a weak president and vice president in office. “Americans and Virginians want strength back in the White House,” he concluded. “They want someone who will stand for a strong economy, where the lives of all Americans are lifted, like we had before. High growth and low inflation, not low growth and high inflation, where people can’t get great jobs, and where manufacturing comes back to the United States. This is the future Virginians and Americans are talking to me about, and that’s why we see President Trump surging in the polls around the country.” WATCH: @GovernorVA discusses the DOJ’s lawsuit against Virginia, over the timing of the removal of noncitizens from voter rolls. pic.twitter.com/RcxEVEzoTj — Fox News Sunday (@FoxNewsSunday) October 20, 2024

No evidence of former president Donald Trump’s alleged “mental decline” showed during Trump’s 90-minute interview with The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board last week. The former president’s age, 78, and mental acuity have become targets lately of Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign and other critics. The WSJ editorial board found no basis for the attacks during a lengthy interview with Trump on Thursday, however. In some ways, Trump seemed more knowledgeable and competent during the 90-minute grilling than he did eight years ago during his first run for the White House, according to WSJ. According to WSJ’s report on the meeting: “Lately Mr. Trump’s detractors have been speculating about his ‘mental decline.’ There’s no sign of such slippage in our Thursday meeting. The 2024 Trump seems more confident and is certainly more knowledgeable about policy than he was in 2015. His discursive style of talking can confuse listeners, but that was equally true nine years ago, and he never appears lost in his thoughts the way President Biden repeatedly did in their June debate.” Harris, who turned 60 on Sunday, has campaigned on the difference in age between herself and the former president, in addition to other issues. In a recent interview on Fox News, Harris said she represents a “new generation of leadership.” Over the weekend, Harris attacked Trump as “increasingly unstable and unhinged.” “He’s becoming increasingly unstable and unhinged, and it requires that response,” Harris told reporters on Saturday, according to CNN. “I think the American people deserve better than someone who actually seems to be unstable.” While Harris continues to question Trump’s fitness for office, she has avoided criticizing 81-year-old President Joe Biden, who’s mental acuity and health was seized on by Democrats who wanted Biden to end his reelection bid after the June 27 presidential debate. During the debate, Biden appeared muddled and nonsensical at times. Biden trailed Trump in polling amid the pressure to drop from the race. Harris has maintained that Biden’s mental acuity has not suffered at all during his time as president, and she has continuously defended the president over questions about his health despite the misgivings voiced by Democrats and donors prior to Biden dropping out of the race.

Dems, Corporate Media Rushed To Cite FBI Data Showing Crime Decrease — Experts Say The Numbers Are Flawed

The witness arrives home, hearing her parents arguing. They were both supposed to be at work. The witness freaks out and runs out of the house. Then things get really weird!I received the following account:"Hi. This story is from a childhood friend who told me this and it still unnerves me to this day. She was genuinely freaked out and her family even backed up her claims.Basically, my friend and her family moved into this rental property which my friend said was haunted. It gave everyone an 'off' feeling, those who visited or stayed over would mention it. I experienced this odd feeling of foreboding whenever I went over there and believed in the consensus that the house was haunted. It honestly felt oppressive in the house and you would feel this pitiful dread that is hard to compute into words and was extremely uncomfortable to experience, to say the least.Anyway, this particular inexplicable event, which is the basis of this post, was enough for my friend's family to pack up and stay with relatives until they moved out permanently.On this fateful afternoon, my friend had arrived back home from the park and heard an argument taking place in the kitchen between her mom and dad. My friend thought this was odd as both her parents should be at work so she called out, "Mom?" She then unlocked the front door and went inside. My friend said the house fell instantly silent. It was an uncanny silence like all the air had been sucked out of the place and felt stifling and wrong. Then her mom said, "Hey, Sara (my friend's name), we're in here." My friend was just outside the closed kitchen door at this point and froze beyond opening. It was her mother's voice but there was something off like the cadence was missing that made it her mother. It sounded flat and unnatural.My friend decided to bolt back out the front door and wait outside until her brother came home but she said as she turned back and looked toward the house. She saw her mother peering at her from the lounge room window. But it wasn't her mother. The face was the same, everything was the same but her face was devoid of anything that made it her mother. There was no recognition on her mother's face, there was no indication that she was looking directly at her daughter, and there was no emotion in her expression. Nothing. The eyes looked uncaring and utterly blank.My friend screamed and ran down the street to her mother's work and confirmed that she was there all this time and had never been home. Initially, my friend's mother reasoned that someone must have broken in but a later investigation proved nothing had been stolen and the back door was locked as was the front door when my friend came home. No one could rationalize who my friend saw in the window and why it looked so much like her mother (but not fully human) so that was the deciding factor for finding somewhere else to live.The landlord of the house denied anything like this happening when they lived there but did admit tenants didn't stay long saying there was something was "wrong" in the house.My friend also told me she was the only one who actually saw anything definitively sinister in the house, but her family said they definitely felt an evil presence there which ultimately manifested into the doppelganger experience my friend had. Utterly terrifying." S**********DJINN & CURIOUS MIDDLE EASTERN TALES | LIVE Chat | Q & A | Join Us! (MODERN & HISTORICAL ACCOUNTS)PHANTOMS & MONSTERS VIDEO LIBRARYPOLL: WHAT DO YOU THINK?
