TRUMP DECLINES 2ND OFFER TO DEBATE HARRIS

Hopes for a second presidential debate were dashed on Saturday when former President Donald Trump reiterated his decision not to participate during a rally in North Carolina.

Excitement had initially surged when Harris took to X on Saturday to write, “I have accepted @CNN’s offer to debate on October 23rd. I hope @realDonaldTrump will join me.”

The proposed debate would have followed the same rules as the June CNN debate between Trump and President Joe Biden, including no audience and muted microphones when a candidate isn’t speaking.

Trump quickly extinguished these hopes by stating, “It’s too late to do another. I’d love to, in many ways, but it’s too late. The voting is cast,” referring to early voting that has already begun in several states.

In response, the Harris campaign lamented the loss for the American people

“It would be unprecedented in modern history for there to just be one general election debate. Debates offer a unique chance for voters to see the candidate’s side by side and take stock of their competing visions for America.”

Back in August, Trump agreed to three debates with Harris leading up to Election Day. The first was scheduled for Sept. 4, which never transpired; one took place on Sept. 10; and one on Sept. 25, which is no longer scheduled.

However, Trump changed his mind after the vice president called for another debate not more than an hour after the first one ended.

“THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!” Trump wrote on Truth Social at the time.

“When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, ‘I WANT A REMATCH.’ Polls clearly show that I won the Debate against Comrade Kamala Harris, the Democrats’ Radical Left Candidate, on Tuesday night, and she immediately called for a Second Debate.”

Still, all hope may not be lost, as just last week Trump told reporters in California that he might take on Harris again if he was in the “right mood.”

THE EAGLE'S PATH

Just as the eagle soars high, seeing the world with clarity and purpose, so must a leader rise above distractions to focus on the bigger picture. The eagle doesn’t waste its energy in flapping constantly, instead it uses the wind beneath its wings to glide effortlessly. So too, Yayah Wise Turay, your wisdom as a leader lies not in constantly reacting but in allowing the forces around you to elevate your journey, using each challenge as an opportunity for growth. The rooster crows every morning to announce the dawn, but it is the silent rising of the sun that truly brings light to the world. Leaders like you do not need to shout to be heard. Your work, your dedication, and your vision speak louder than any noise.

A wise leader, like the tallest tree in the forest, understands that with great height comes str...

NETANYAHU TO ADDRESS UN AMID RISING MIDDLE EAST TENSIONS

Amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will address the United Nations General Assembly next week. He will depart for New York next Tuesday to meet with world leaders on the sidelines of the assembly followed by his address on Friday afternoon. Netanyahu’s 11th appearance at the UN comes as the Palestinian Authority is pushing for sweeping measures against Israel, including calls for an arms embargo and sanctions. A draft resolution circulated by the PA urges Israel to withdraw from Judea and Samaria within six months and calls for the removal of approximately 500,000 Israeli citizens living in these territories. In response, Foreign Minister Israel Katz has instructed his team to prepare retaliatory measures if the PA violates the Oslo Accords. These reportedly range from freezing funds to cutting security ties with Ramallah. While the exact content of Netanyahu’s speech remains to be seen, it’s likely to cover several key areas. B...
