Donald Trump hurries last hours of campaign to charge in Georgia against Kamala Harris

The former US president and Republican candidate, Donald Trump, doubled, at a rally in the key state of Georgia, his attacks against the vice president and Democratic rival, Kamala Harris, and said: “Go. Go away. You’re fired,” after calling her “the worst vice president in the history” of the country.

“Kamala talks about fixing the economy, but why doesn’t he do it? He’s not going to do anything. He is incapable of doing it. His plan will impose the largest tax increase in the history of the United States on families,” said the former governor (2017-2021) in the city of Macon, in the ‘hinge’ state of Georgia.

He then ridiculed the Democratic presidential candidate for having said in a recent television interview that she would not do anything different from what President Joe Biden did, something that “in itself disqualifies her,” he said.

“Our country is 90% on the wrong path, the highest in the history of our country, and she says ‘oh, I wouldn’t do anything different’?, Trump vehemently wondered at the close of the day tonight, two days before the presidential elections.

This Sunday, the former president held rallies in three small cities of decisive ‘bisinge’ states in order to mobilize, especially, rural voters, a significant part of his electoral base.

Liberation Day

If this morning in Lititz (Pennsylvania), the ‘pendulum’ state that contributes the most electoral votes (19), Trump said that he should not have left the White House after losing the 2020 elections, a defeat that he has never recognized, tonight in Macon he assured that November 5 “will be the Liberation Day” of the United States.

He accused Harris of leading a Democratic campaign that is based solely on “hatred” and “demonization” calling the United States “half the garbage”, in reference to Biden’s comment after a comedian described Puerto Rico as a “floating garbage island” at a Trump rally.

“Let me tell you something. (…) The only garbage I see floating around are his followers,” Biden said, words that both the White House and the president himself tried to clarify later.

The two central issues that Trump returned to again and again during his rally in Georgia were illegal immigration, which has turned the United States into “a busy country,” and the economy, which suffers from “galloping inflation.”

Trump and Harris continued this Sunday to fight an intense battle for a handful of decisive ‘hinge’ states, with polls that present a very tight scenario.

Everything is open

This close pulse means that both political rivals have turned in recent days in the seven ‘hinge’ states: Pennsylvania, the one with the most electoral votes (19); North Carolina (16), Georgia (16), Michigan (15), Arizona (11), Wisconsin (10) and Nevada (6).

The average of polls collected by FiveThirtyEight show technical ties and within the margin of error between Trump and Harris, so victory could be determined by very narrow margins or require recounts to see who reaches the necessary 270 electoral votes.

With some polls in the technical tie in the seven key states everything is open. The vote of the next two days and these last hours of campaign could be crucial. Never as now does the phrase ‘every vote counts’ make more sense.

Man arrested after deliberately driving into seven children in Osaka

Japanese police arrested a man on Thursday after he rammed his car into a group of seven schoolchildren in an apparent deliberate attack in the city of Osaka.

The children, who were on their way home from school, sustained injuries and were taken to the hospital. All seven remained conscious, according to local authorities.

An Osaka police officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the suspect is a 28-year-old man from Tokyo. The officer shared statements the man made after his arrest: “I was fed up with everything, so I decided to kill people by driving into several elementary school children,” the suspect reportedly said.

The man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

The injured children, aged between seven and eight, included a seven-year-old girl who suffered a fractured jaw. The six other children—all boys—suffered minor injuries such as bruises and scratches and were undergoing medical evaluation.

Witnesses described the car as “zigzagging” before hitting the children. One witness told Nippon TV that a girl was “covered in blood” and the others appeared to have scratches.

Another witness said the driver, who was wearing a face mask, looked to be in shock when school staff pulled him from the vehicle.

Violent crimes are rare in Japan, though serious incidents do occur from time to time. In 2008, Tomohiro Kato drove a two-ton truck into pedestrians in Tokyo’s Akihabara district, then fatally stabbed several victims. Seven people were killed in that attack.

Clashes erupt during may day protests across France amid calls for better wages

May Day protests in France were marked by a heavy police presence and clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement in several cities.

In Paris, Lyon, and Nantes, thousands took to the streets to demand better wages, fairer working conditions, and to voice their dissatisfaction with President Emmanuel Macron’s government.

While the majority of the demonstrations remained peaceful, isolated confrontations broke out in some areas. Protesters threw objects at the police, prompting the use of tear gas and resulting in several arrests.

Videos showing police crackdowns circulated widely on social media, drawing criticism from labor unions and human rights advocates, who denounced the authorities’ response to the protests.

Kristi Noem credits Trump for mass migrant deportations by mexican president

U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem claimed that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has deported “more than half a million” migrants due to pressure from former President Donald Trump.

During a cabinet meeting highlighting the “achievements” of Trump’s administration in its first 100 days, Noem asserted that under the Republican leader’s influence, “Mexico has finally come to the table” to negotiate on migration and fentanyl trafficking.

“The president of Mexico told me she has returned just over half a million people before they reached our border,” Noem stated, criticizing media reports that suggest the Biden administration deported more migrants than Trump’s.

“I wish those deportations were counted,” Noem added, “because those people never made it to our border—she sent them back because you made her.” She went on to thank Trump: “They never made it here because they got the message—because you were so aggressive.”

Noem has made controversial claims about Sheinbaum in the past, prompting the Mexican leader to refute them.

On April 1, Sheinbaum responded to one such statement by declaring, “The president answers to only one authority, and that is the people of Mexico,” after Noem said on Fox News that she gave Sheinbaum “a list of things Trump would like to see” and that Mexico’s actions would determine whether Trump granted tariff relief.
