2024’s MOST MISPRONOUNCED Names Revealed: A Surprising List

04 December 2024 — Vice President Kamala Harris and pop star Chappell Roan topped the list of most mispronounced names in 2024. Released by Babbel and The Captioning Group, this list highlights common pronunciation errors made by news anchors and politicians. It serves as a look back at the year’s most talked-about topics and figures.

Chappell Roan, known for her hit “Good Luck, Babe!” and six Grammy nominations, often has her name mispronounced as SHA-pel ROW-an instead of CHAP-uhl ROHN. During Kamala Harris’s unsuccessful presidential run this year, her great-nieces clarified that her first name is pronounced COM-a-la at the Democratic National Convention.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg also made the list due to ongoing confusion over his last name’s pronunciation. His campaign previously used “Boot-Edge-Edge” on posters to help people during his 2020 presidential bid.

Even dog breeds like Dutch Kooikerhondje entered American vocabulary this year thanks to Shohei Ohtani’s pet Decoy, who became a fan favorite at Dodgers games. The breed is pronounced COY-ker-HUND-che but often leaves people puzzled when they try to say it correctly.

ELECTION SHOCKER: Harris vs Trump Reveals Deep National Split

06 November 2024 — Voters for Kamala Harris and Donald Trump showed starkly different priorities in Tuesday’s presidential election. This reflects a broader national divide on key issues facing the United States.

AP VoteCast surveyed over 115,000 voters nationwide, revealing that Harris supporters were primarily motivated by concerns about the fate of democracy. Her campaign’s messaging, labeling Trump as a fascist, seemed to resonate with her base.

Conversely, Trump’s supporters focused on immigration and inflation as their main concerns. Trump has consistently promised that tariffs would revive factory jobs and increased domestic oil production would lower prices across the economy.

HOLLYWOOD’S Secret Political Agenda: Julia Roberts Backs Kamala Harris

29 October 2024 — Julia Roberts stars in a new ad urging voters to support Kamala Harris, despite her Trump-supporting husband’s objections. The ad hints at secrecy in voting, with Roberts saying, “Remember, what happens in the booth stays in the booth.” This fits with Roberts’ active role in political events backing Democratic candidates.

Roberts attended a Hollywood fundraiser for Joe Biden where attendees like George Clooney raised concerns about Biden’s cognitive health. It’s unclear if Roberts noticed or ignored these issues during the event. Her involvement shows Hollywood’s sway over political narratives and their effect on public views.

In a chat with Oprah Winfrey and Kamala Harris, Roberts accidentally admitted that foreign opinions on U.S. leadership are negative under Biden and Harris. She noted that international friends express worry over America’s current state, hinting at global doubts about U.S. governance.

Roberts continues her advocacy by campaigning for Kamala Harris alongside Stacey Abrams in Georgia, even though polls show Donald Trump leading Harris by four points according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. This suggests a tough road for Democrats as they face strong Republican challenges before upcoming elections.

HARRIS FACES Backlash: Losing Catholic Voters Could Be Her Downfall

19 October 2024 — Vice President Kamala Harris is under fire for alienating Catholic voters. Alex Marlow argues that her recent actions are not only ineffective but also harmful to her political standing.

Marlow claims that Harris’s attempts to mock Catholics have backfired, costing her a key group of voters that President Biden once secured. He points to her Senate behavior, especially during Brett Kavanaugh’s hearings, as proof of her ongoing struggles.

In contrast, Marlow commends former President Trump for his strong public presence despite political disagreements. He suggests Harris’s strategies are failing while Trump’s appeal remains strong among conservatives.

TRUMP And HARRIS Neck-And-Neck: What’s Behind the Poll Shocker?

15 October 2024 — Recent polls show a tight race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, with both candidates nearly tied. Just last month, Harris was ahead in election and favorability ratings. Now, her lead is gone, sparking questions about why voters are changing their minds.

NBC’s Savannah Guthrie talked with analyst Steve Kornacki about this shift. He explained how Harris’s favorability ratings have reversed. Last month, she had a 48% positive rating compared to Trump’s steady numbers. Now her positive rating has fallen to 43%, while her negative rating jumped to 49%.

Kornacki noted that this change brings Harris’s ratings closer to Trump’s figures. He also mentioned an interesting twist about public views on Trump’s presidency. Recent polling shows that 44% of voters think Trump’s policies helped their families more than during his time in office.

HARRIS’S FUNDING Frenzy: Can Trump’s Campaign Catch UP?

10 October 2024 — Vice President Kamala Harris has surged ahead of former President Donald Trump in campaign fundraising. On the day she announced her candidacy, Harris raised $25 million and reached $500 million within a month. This financial boost gives her a strong edge as the 2024 presidential race intensifies.

Trump’s campaign, however, had collected $309 million by the end of August. To close this gap, Republican super PACs are stepping up, spending over $80 million on TV ads nationwide in September alone. They’ve also set aside more than $100 million for advertising during the campaign’s final weeks.

Despite this fundraising difference, Republicans remain determined. They’re investing heavily in online, mail, and door-to-door campaigns to counter Harris’s financial lead. The race for the White House is becoming fiercely competitive as both sides strategically deploy their resources to win voters over.

Harris’s SHIFTING Fracking Stance ALARMS Conservatives

10 September 2024 — Co-host John Roberts aired a clip of Bernie Sanders saying Kamala Harris is being pragmatic to win the election, despite her past views. Roberts then questioned if Harris would revert to opposing fracking if elected.

Philippe Reines responded by suggesting that Sanders’ comments reflect Harris’s current stance on fracking, even though she previously opposed it. He emphasized that candidates often change their positions based on electoral needs and context.

Reines believes Harris is aligning with President Biden’s record to gain support from undecided voters. He expressed confidence in this strategy as a winning approach for the election.

PROTESTERS TARGET DNC With ‘Killer Kamala’ Banner

19 August 2024 — Protesters are making their presence known ahead of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) where Vice President Kamala Harris is set to accept her party’s nomination against former President Donald Trump. A massive banner reading “KILLER KAMALA” was displayed by demonstrators surrounding the DNC Welcome Party.

The protest comes after a demonstrator managed to crash the party, setting a confrontational tone for the event. Hatem Abudayyeh, spokesperson for the coalition organizing the march, stated that “tens of thousands” will be in the streets.

Abudayyeh mentioned that nearly 270 organizations from across America have joined forces to march on the DNC. The coalition demands an end to U.S. aid to Israel and calls for Palestinian freedom.

The protest is scheduled to start at Union Park at noon on August 19, with participants planning to fight for their rights and their route until 2 p.m.

HARRIS ENTERS 2024 Race: National Security Fears Rise

24 July 2024 — Kamala Harris has entered the race for the White House following President Biden’s announcement that he will not seek re-election. This sudden shift has raised alarms among national security experts who worry that adversaries like Russia, China, and Iran may exploit the “chaos” to their advantage.

These nations have shown little outward reaction to Biden’s withdrawal, but concerns remain high about potential changes in U.S. force posture abroad. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov mentioned that Moscow was “not very surprised” by Biden’s decision and emphasized Russia’s focus on its military operations in Ukraine.

With four months until the elections, much can change, making it crucial for America to stay vigilant and monitor developments closely. The Democratic Party now faces the challenge of building a strong platform against Republican candidate Donald Trump amid these geopolitical tensions.

HARRIS and BIDEN Storm South Carolina: A Cunning Strategy for 2024 Victory?

07 January 2024 — Today, Vice President Kamala Harris is making waves in South Carolina. She’s the keynote speaker at the annual retreat of the Women’s Missionary Society of the Seventh District African Methodist Episcopal Church.

Harris plans to commemorate the third anniversary of the Jan. 6 Capitol riots during her address. In a parallel move, President Joe Biden will be speaking at Mother Emanuel AME Church in South Carolina on Monday — a place marked by a devastating racially-motivated mass shooting in 2015.

South Carolina has been a Republican stronghold, with Donald Trump securing victory in both the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections.

The strategic visits by Biden and Harris hint at an ambitious attempt to sway this traditionally conservative state ahead of their potential run in the upcoming 2024 election.
