— / What was Iran's reaction to the September 11 attacks? The morning following 9/11, thousands of Iranians gathered in the streets of the capital Tehran to hold a candlelight vigil for the victims. According to eyewitnesses, the vigil lasted for several miles. At Tehran's largest soccer...

Weather:
Sunny, highs in the lower 80s.
It's Thursday in New York City, where an expanded Penn Station, new subway cars and buses, dozens of station accessibility upgrades and a new light rail line connecting Brooklyn and Queens could all be ours.
The state just needs to come up with $92.2 billion — on top of the $15 billion hole caused by Gov. Kathy Hochul’s order to pause congestion pricing. Here's how state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli suggests lawmakers raise all that cash.
And here's what else is happening:
Gov. Hochul has suggested that congestion pricing could eventually go into effect with tolls lower than $15. How low could they go, and how long would it take to make that happen?
More than 700 women have sued New York City alleging they were sexually assaulted by staff while detained on Rikers Island. Here's where the officials who could enforce accountability stand on the issue.
Three correction officers who watched a man bleed to death on Rikers Island for 10 minutes without helping were found to have contributed to his death, but their inaction didn't rise to criminally negligent homicide, according to the state attorney general's office.
Mayor Eric Adams’ 60-day stay limit for migrant families in city shelters appears to be working as intended: More than half of the 12,560 families who have received eviction notices have since left the shelter system altogether, according to City Hall.
The National Park Service is giving the Jacob Riis Beach boardwalk a badly-needed $2.7 million refurbishment this fall.
The Feast of San Gennaro kicks off tonight in Little Italy.
Mayor Adams has assigned NYPD Deputy Inspector Timothy Wilson to be the "chief of enforcement" for the parks department as part of a broader move toward installing cops in civilian agencies.
Top Adams aide Timothy Pearson made news last fall when he physically assaulted two security guards outside a Midtown migrant shelter and had them arrested. According to an upcoming lawsuit, he then threatened the two guards while they were being detained.
The New York Post reports that Phil and Terence Banks, two other Adams allies who are now under federal investigation, love expensive cigars.
Valarie D’Elia, a longtime travel reporter for NY1, has died at the age of 64.
"Woman 1: I have no children. Does that mean I have no say? Woman 2: I think there’s a better way to have put that, but it is true": NYMag collected some interesting quotes from a New York Young Republican Club debate watch party.
Nashville police are thanking Jon Bon Jovi for talking a distressed woman off the edge of a bridge.
The Zero Bond guy's contentious East Hampton restaurant is closed.
But summer's not over!

"A republikánus Donald Trump nem vesz részt újabb elnökjelölti vitán demokrata riválisával, Kamala Harrisszel szemben a november 5-i választás előtt."
"A republikánus Donald Trump nem vesz részt újabb elnökjelölti vitán demokrata riválisával, Kamala Harrisszel szemben a november 5-i választás előtt."
Akkor ezek szerint kicsit ég a ház Trumpéknál.
Orbán sem szokott vitázni, de nem azért mert ég a ház...
Nyilttá tette a Demokrata puccs a versenyt. A Demokrata elit a saját szabályait puccsolta meg.
Harrist tolja ezerrel a sajtó.
És hát ez a sajtóháttér még a fogyatékos Bidennek is 40%-ot hozott. Ettől Harris messze jobb mediaszereplő.
Mivel szoros és a részvétel a szokott 50% körüli lehet, mozgósítási kérdés lesz a választás. Ugye a szervezett félig legális levélszavazatos csalás miatt kb. +5-10%-ról nem indul Harris. Kábé 10%-ot fordítottak négy éve a levélszavazatok.
Most azért veszem ennek hatását kisebbre, mert néhány republikánus állam, pl. Florida bezárt jópár kiskaput. De a Demokrata államok persze nem. Majd az utolsó héten dől el. A kérdés bíznak-e magukban a Demokraták vagy még egyszer megpróbálják megölni vagy legalább megnxomorítani Trumpot
A Harris -Trump vitából ennyi fog átmenni a néphez 1 hét múlva.
Ezt nem lehett oszehasonlítani. Orbán alapvetoen azért nem vitázik, hogy még a latszata se lehessen annak, hogy van hozzá alternatíva. Ezt a stratégiát Putyintól másolta le. Alternatívanélkuliség látszata mint hatásos hatalompolitikai eszkoz.
Trump viszont már egy vitába belement, ezzel "elismerve" Harrist mint kihívóját, így ezután már nem tudja eljátszani ezt a játékot (bár kérdéses, menyire reális az amerikai politikai kultúrában) és roszul jon ki a további viták elutasításával).
Azért mégis csak vannak olyan illegális bevándorlók, akiknek házikedvencekre fáj a foguk
:
Ha rosszul áll két hét múlva fog vitázni, ha nem, akkor nem.
Én úgy gondolom, hogy ezt az elnökválasztást a Trump nem tudja megnyerni. Ekkora ellenszélben egyszerűen lehetetlen. A teljes mainstream média és majdnem az összes Big Tech cég, valamint minden Hollywoodi celeb az ő vereségén dolgozik. Ez ellen a Twitter/X nagyon kevés lesz. És még ott van a levélszavazás is, amit szintén meg fognak csinálni, bár nem olyan mértékben, mint 2020-ban. Hacsak nem jön valami "fekete hattyú" esemény, ez már lefutott mérkőzés.
Egyszer már nyert és legutóbb is hajszálon múlt.
Hollywood is megosztott és ott van mellette Musk még a Twitter.
Én is pesszimista vagyok.
Szerintem az előző Trump elnökség igen langyosra sikerült, és most már nincs meg az a csodavárás, ami 2016.-ban sokaknál megvolt.
Középre helyezkedni meg természetesen nem sikerült, az ilyen média viszonyok mellett lehetetlen is.
Azért remélem, sikerül, mert ezeknél nyilván bárki sokkal jobb.
Inkabb az ellenkezoje. Ha egne a haz, akkor vitazna. Jo sansszal tudnak valamit, amit mas nem (ti. nekik vannak sajat, sokkal alaposabb felmereseik, ezt anno meg a "turd blossom" Karl Rove es csapata epitette ki.)
