Presented without comment, here are some news snapshots from recent days.

Kamala Harris, in published excerpts from her book, says she would have loved to have named Pete Buttigieg as her VP running mate in the past election, but “it was too big of a risk” because Buttigieg is openly gay.

Names of the alleged fraudsters in Minnesota who are accused of taking money illegally from a program to help the disabled fund housing: Moktar Hassan Aden, Mustafa Dayib Ali, Khalid Ahmen Dayib, Abdifitah Mohamud Mohamed, Christopher Adesojo Falad, Emmanuel Oluwademilade Falade, Asad Ahmen Adow and Anwar Ahmen Adow.

Among the names of those who restored a vandalized Charlie Kirk tribute mural in Pensacola, Fla.: Hannah Alfredson, Mason Vickers and Ben Uitzetter.

The body of a black student at Delta State University was found hanging from a tree on campus. According to ABC News, initial reports and subsequent investigation ruled it a suicide. But, there was unrest, prompting a closure of the school Monday and the school’s white president to say, “this is not only about facts, it’s about emotions, and it’s about feelings and the way this loss and how it was discovered affects people’s lives.” The dead man’s family has hired a civil rights attorney.

The body of a white man was found hanging in a tree about 100 miles away, also in Mississippi. There seems to have been no unrest, no closures, no general interest except to ask if the two deaths were related. The dead man was reported by ABC News to be a drug user whose body was found in an area “known to be frequented by drug users.”

A former Texas State University student, expelled for mocking the assassination of Charlie Kirk at an on-campus memorial event by multiple times slapping his neck and recoiling as if shot, has set up a GoFundMe account to “grow from this experience.”

London’s Daily Mail is reporting on dailymail.co.uk that they have documents and testimony proving that Minnesota U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar did, as long rumored, marry her brother in order to keep him in the United States.

Hunter Biden, scandal-plagued recipient of one of those blanket pardons from his father, Joe, before the elder Biden left office, reportedly sat in on pardon meetings, perhaps influencing those who would receive them.

Kamala Harris, between taking swipes at Biden et al, in her book and public appearances, has spoken out for free speech, decrying the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel for lying during a monologue, saying the alleged Charlie Kirk assassin was a MAGA supporter. This is the same Kamala Harris who called in a 9-30-19 Twitter/X post for Donald Trump’s Twitter/X account to be suspended over his exercise of free speech.
