Sooo, does that mean that they are going to check his shoes?
Donald Trump Plans to Tower Over Harris in Last-Minute Debate Ask
GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump is gearing up to face off against Vice President Kamala Harris at their a highly anticipated Sept. 10 debate on ABC News. The former president, however, has at least one more request after flip-flopping over the events rules and regulations.
In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump shared that no boxes or artificial lifts will be allowed during the debate, equating the use of the height-enhancing items to cheating.
No boxes or artificial lifts will be allowed to stand on during my upcoming debate with Comrade Kamala Harris, he wrote on Saturday. We had this out previously with former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg when he was in a debate, and he was not allowed a lift. It would be a form of cheating.
He added, And the Democrats cheat enough. You are who you are, it was determined!

Linkin Park Unveil Emily Armstrong as New Co-Vocalist, Announce 2024 World Tour and Album
A new chapter in the story of Linkin Park is among us. On Thursday, the band announced plans to embark on a headlining tour beginning kicking off Sept. 11 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, marking their first run of live performances since the death of frontman Chester Bennington in 2017. Moving forward on the road without him also brings in the addition of a new co-vocalist, for which Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson and Dave Farrell have selected Emily Armstrong of Dead Sara. Colin Brittain, songwriter and producer for G Flip, was also announced as the bands new drummer.
Linkin Park also shared their first new music in seven years, The Emptiness Machine, which premiered alongside a livestream performance to announce their new album, From Zero, slated for release on Nov. 15.
The groups upcoming From Zero World Tour will include stops in Los Angeles, New York, Hamburg, London, Seoul, and Bogota. LP Underground fan club pre-sales start Sept. 6 and general on-sales Sept. 7.
Linkin Park first began teasing the announcement last week. On Instagram, the official band account shared a video of a countdown that starts at 100 hours and begins ticking away. They followed it up with another countdown, this one starting at zero seconds, increasing to 9, and immediately jumping back down to 5 before the video completely distorts. Its only a matter of time the caption read, along with a link to their website.

I got my truck all set up with the Harris/Walz 2024 flags in deep-red Utah; let's see how they like this....... 💙🇺🇸
https://twitter.com/KeneAkers/status/1831505700012638612Let me clarify a few things about our flags on my truck:
1. Patriotism isn't a MAGA idea; flying flags on vehicles predate us both.
2. White Bigots, how does it feel to be trolled?
3. Black individuals who disagree with my political views? I didn't recall asking for your approval.
4. This is all about reclaiming our flag and inspiring others to find ways to do the same. 🫡🇺🇸

OMG, that poor woman.
'It's unbearable': French woman testifies in case of husband, 50 men accused of raping her
A woman who was allegedly drugged by her now ex-husband so that she could be raped while unconscious by other men testified Thursday that her world collapsed when police uncovered the years of alleged abuse.
Speaking in a calm and clear voice, Gisele Pelicot detailed to the court in the city of Avignon in southern France, the horror of discovering that her former spouse systematically filmed the suspected rapes by dozens of men storing thousands of images that police investigators later found.
Its unbearable, she testified. I have so much to say that I dont always know where to start.
Dominique Pelicot, now 71, and 50 other men are standing trial on charges of rape and face up to 20 years in prison. The trial started on Monday and is expected to run until December. Thursday marked the first time that Gisele Pelicot had testified.
