 At least 22 killed in RSF attack on Sudan's al-Fashir, activist group says A pro-democracy group said Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) killed at least 22 people in an attack on the city of al-Fashir in the western Darfur region on Saturday, though the paramilitary force denied launching an assault. The al-Fashir Resistance Committees said on Facebook that the RSF had fired artillery shells on markets, hospitals and apartments in a surge of violence after weeks of stalemate on that front in the country's civil war, Reuters reported. The activist group also said the RSF used a drone to target a hospital. It later said a total of 97 people were killed or injured in the assault. The RSF dismissed the report and said it did not clash with the army or allied groups in al-Fashir. The city is the national army's last remaining position in the Darfur region, and a key front in its war with the RSF that has turned Sudan into the world's worst humanitarian crisis. More than

 President Biden is set to propose several changes to the U.S. Constitution on Monday to make good on his promise to reform the Supreme Court, according to a report. In a reversal from the president's longstanding resistance to changes to the high court, Biden said on Wednesday that Supreme Court reform would be among his top priorities for the remainder of his term in office. Biden announced Sunday that he would not seek re-election after mounting pressure from Democratic Party officials who asked him to step aside after his widely panned debate performance in June. The president is expected to propose setting term limits for justices on the Supreme Court, which would require a constitutional amendment, and establishing an enforceable code of ethics, which could be enacted by Congress, Politico reported. Biden is also likely to voice support for a constitutional amendment that would limit immunity for presidents and certain other officeholders after the court ruled in July that pr

  Trump campaign won’t commit to debates with Harris yet  The Trump campaign said Thursday it would not agree to a general election debate with Vice President Harris “until Democrats formally decide on their nominee” after Harris said she was ready to debate the former president. “Given the continued political chaos surrounding Crooked Joe Biden and the Democrat Party, general election debate details cannot be finalized until Democrats formally decide on their nominee,” Trump communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement. Cheung claimed there “is a strong sense by many in the Democrat Party … that Kamala Harris is a Marxist fraud who cannot beat President Trump, and they are still holding out for someone ‘better,'” citing former President Obama’s lack of endorsement to date, though Obama is expected to back Harris publicly soon. “Therefore, it would be inappropriate to schedule things with Harris because Democrats very well could still change their minds,” Cheung said.

 Sangamon County, Illinois: Sonya Massey's autopsy shows she was shot "execution style". The round entered her left eye and exited at a lower angle out of the back of her neck. This shows she was low on the ground when shot. Just minutes before taking her life, he said to his partner that Sonya was "probably hiding drugs". This shows his attitude and contempt before even meeting her. His partner also told him "not to break her door" because he was violently beating on it.  -The very shocking size difference between Sonya Massey and Deputy Grayson- Sonya was 5'1" and very thin. Sean Grayson, the deputy with a troubling past that took her life, is 6'5" and weighs 260 pounds. He is reported as "very muscular".  "The pot of water dispute." Firstly, the widely held belief is that Sonya touched the pot to "drop it" because she was being ordered to "drop" a pot that was not in her hands at all.  Accord

 "I'm grateful to the woman most responsible for my presence here today, my mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris. When she came here from India at the age of 19, she maybe didn't imagine this moment. But she believed so deeply in America where a moment like this is possible," said Kamala Harris.  Harris’s mother, Shyamala Gopalan, who came to America young and alone, made a career as a breast cancer researcher before dying of cancer in 2009. Harris remains close to her mother’s side of the family — one of her brightest childhood memories was walking down the beach hand in hand with her Indian grandfather, PV Gopalan. In fact, it was her grandfather (a staunch supporter of women's education) who instilled confidence in 19-year-old Shyamala when she won admission to a PhD program at the University of California, Berkeley (without anyone in the family knowing she had applied). He did not hesitate to pay, even though it was a lot of money for a civil servant. "One thi

 Actors’ creativity not tied to religion — Lawyers Entertainment lawyers have said that actors have the creative liberty to express themselves and tell stories as they deem fit. They noted that the actors could function independently of any religious bearing and should not be sanctioned by any religion. They made this known on the heels of the outrage that followed a movie poster shared by Nancy Isime on Thursday. The poster depicts two women wearing black burqa while wielding guns and a man wearing a balaclava and holding two men hostage in a bank heist. In another photo, Isime was wearing a hijab while posing with a gun. However, the poster was met with heavy criticism by some religious people who believed that she was desecrating Islam and portraying it in a bad light. Following the post, an Islamic group, Muslim Rights Concern, called for the ban of the yet-to-be-released film. MURIC added that the movie was satanic, adding that it took Islamophobia to the highest level. In a state
