“In the modern imagination,” Professor Lewis Gordon wrote in 2023, paraphrasing philosopher Frantz Fanon, “reason takes flight whenever the Black enters the scene.” Indeed, from the moment the Democratic Party coalesced around Vice President Kamala Harris as its nominee, ushering in the prospect of America’s first Black Madam President, reason has taken flight.“Apparently, they feel, or a lot of Democrats feel, they have to stick with her because of her ethnic background,” Republican Representative Glenn Grothman said on the day President Biden ended his reelection campaign. Two of his House GOP colleagues, Tim Burchett and Harriett Hageman, both denigrated Harris...

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

Family is at the forefront of Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, and she speaks frequently and fondly of her late mother’s influence – but rarely is there mention of her father. A “Marxist” economics professor  who left Jamaica for UC Berkeley, Donald J Harris has said little about his daughter during her meteoric rise – other than to scold her, writes Sheila Flynn

Kamala Harris has halted and reversed the momentum Donald Trump gained with the one-two punch of his debate against President Biden and the RNC.

I was wrong about Kamala Harris. And that's a huge problem for Donald Trump.

Just under 10 weeks ago, 59-year-old Mike Lynch was on trial in San Francisco on 17 charges of fraud. He was almost guaranteed to receive a 25-year sentence. He was terrified that he would die in a US prison, not because he was guilty – he had spent £30m on legal fees arguing his innocence – but because it’s almost unheard of in the US to win a case against the US Justice Department. His chances of winning were put at 0.5 per cent. However, after 13 years of putting together detailed evidence to support his plea, he was acquitted and it felt like a miracle.
