Harris flew all the way to Ghana to reinforce the relationship between the US and Africa.
“We are looking forward to this trip as a further statement of the long and enduring very important relationship and friendship between the people of the United States and those who live on this continent,” Harris said on Sunday.
Kamala Harris held a joint presser with Ghanaian president Nana Akufo-Addo on Monday.
Harris claimed Americans are “recovering” from high prices because “the measures our administration has taken to bring down the costs.”
Inflation is still over 6%, gas prices are still way higher today than when Biden was sworn into office.
Kamala Harris also told Africans: “There are a number of things on the issue of the economy as a whole that we must do – putting aside the pandemic and the war in Ukraine, even before the two became an issue for our nation and a lot of that work is the work that I am here to do on the continent.”

The New York City Grand Jury investigating the junk charges against President Trump reconvened on Monday.
Trump has been accused of paying Daniels ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.
Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg elevated the Stormy ‘hush payment’ case from a misdemeanor to a felony earlier this year in a effort to ‘get Trump’ shortly after the former president announced a 2024 bid for the White House.
President Trump pointed out that he is leading in the polls within the Republican party.
Trump is also leading Joe Biden by 6+ points according to left-leaning polls.

Trump said Bragg’s efforts to indict him on a non-crime is election interference and the new ‘ballot stuffing’ for the Democrats.
He’s right. […]

Meanwhile in Scotland…
Humza Yousaf, a Muslim who complained about too many white people in the Scottish government, was elected the new head of the Scottish National Party.
“We should all take pride in the fact that today we have sent a clear message, that your color of skin, your faith, is not a barrier to leading the country we all call home,” Humza Yousaf said.
Yousaf’s father is from Pakistan and his mother is from Kenya.
CNBC reported:
Humza Yousaf on Monday was elected the new head of the Scottish National Party, promising in a speech to bring the party together, support citizens with the cost-of-living crisis and deliver independence from the United Kingdom.
He is slated to assume political leadership in Scotland following his nomination in the Scottish Parliament on Tuesday.
Yousaf said his immediate priority would be to “protect every Scot, as far as we possibly can, from the harm inflicted by the cost-of-living crisis, to recover and reform our NHS and other vital public services, to support our wellbeing economy, to improve the life chances of people right across this country.”
He added that he would work on plans to “extend childcare, improve rural housing, support small businesses and boost innovation.”
The SNP supports the campaign for Scotland to gain independence from the United Kingdom and holds a majority of 64 of the 129 seats in the Scottish parliament, giving it control over devolved areas that include housing, education, justice, local government and areas of taxation.
Yousaf, currently Scotland’s health secretary, has served in government since 2012 and was considered the favorite in the race against Kate Forbes and Ash Regan.
In 2020, Humza Yousaf delivered a tirade in parliament about too many white people in the Scottish government.

Joe Biden’s Climate Envoy John Kerry sat down for an interview with Yahoo News Senior Climate Editor Ben Adler to discuss climate change.
The interviewer began by admitting Biden’s so-called ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ is actually a Marxist ‘Climate Change’ bill.
Ben Adler asked John Kerry if the Biden Regime will be taking more aggressive climate action in addition to what is already in the ‘Inflation Reduction Act.’
“We are doing a lot more than just the IRA. The IRA is a package that in and of itself could get to 40% but in addition to that, the president is issuing executive orders, there will be changes on automobile, on light truck, heavy truck…a number of initiatives are being made,” John Kerry said before he trashed Trump.

During the same interview John Kerry was asked whether he has been flying on private jets while pushing global warming and he denied it.
No, I didn’t fly private,” John Kerry said.
Kerry then claimed that it’s fine for global elites to fly private jets because “they’re working harder than most.” […]

James O’Keefe recently suggested he has insiders in Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s case against President Trump.
Trump has been accused of paying Daniels ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg elevated the Stormy ‘hush payment’ case from a misdemeanor to a felony earlier this year in a effort to ‘get Trump.’
The Manhattan grand jury was told to stay home on Wednesday and their session was abruptly canceled on Thursday after ‘surprise’ witness Robert Costello testified on Monday.
Costello said DA Bragg’s office is withholding exculpatory evidence from the grand jury.
At least 300 emails and 600 pages of documents were withheld from grand jurors.

A political operative wondered if O’Keefe has someone on the inside of DA Bragg’s case.
“NY DA Bragg likely hid exculpatory evidence from the Trump Grand Jury as their meetings have been postponed.” the operative said. “The real question is has James O’Keefe got to someone on the inside?”
O’Keefe responded: “The real question is how many do we have on the inside? Stay tuned.”

Democrat Senator Mark Warner appeared on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday to discuss the Biden classified documents scandal.
Warner, the Chairman of the Senate Intel Committee, told CBS’s Margaret Brennan that Joe Biden is withholding information on his classified documents scandal.
Joe Biden stole SCIF-designated classified documents and improperly stored them at the Penn Biden Center.

Biden also stored classified documents in his garage next to his Corvette where his son Hunter had access to the sensitive materials.

Nine boxes of documents were taken from Joe Biden’s lawyer’s Boston office and we have no idea what is in those boxes because the National Archives is covering up for Biden.
Joe Biden is also withholding information from the Senate Intel Committee.
“We need more information about these documents,” Warner said. “The administration’s position does not pass the smell test.”

“What an honor it is to be here in Ghana and on the continent of Africa,” Harris said. “I’m very excited about the future of Africa. I’m very excited about the impact of the future of Africa.”
Has Harris ever sounded this enthusiastic in the US (aside from her speeches about yellow school buses)?

House Republicans Jordan, Comer and Steil responded to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Saturday.
Alvin Bragg on Thursday lashed out at House Republicans and blamed Trump for starting rumors about his imminent arrest.
President Trump earlier this week said he would be arrested on Tuesday in a pair of Truth Social posts.
House Republicans immediately launched an investigation into DA Alvin Bragg, accusing him of abusing his power.
Trump has been accused of paying Daniels ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg elevated the Stormy ‘hush payment’ case from a misdemeanor to a felony earlier this year in a effort to ‘get Trump.’
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and House Administration Committee Chair Bryan Steil on Monday sent Bragg a letter demanding testimony and documents related to his investigation into the ‘hush payment’ after Trump said his arrest was imminent.
“Your letter … is an unprecedent inquiry into a pending local prosecution. The letter only came after Donald Trump created a false expectation that he would be arrested the next day and his lawyers reportedly urged you to intervene,” District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office wrote in the letter House Republicans Jordan, Comer and Steil.
Bragg, who is trying to prosecute a federal matter out of the state of New York, had the gall to claim the House GOP probe is an overreach into local matters.
“The letter’s requests are an unlawful incursion into New York’s sovereignty,” Bragg’s office said.
Reps. Jim Jordan, James Comer and Bryan Steil responded to Bragg in an eight page letter.
“Notably, your reply letter did not dispute the central allegations at issue—that you, under political pressure from left-wing activists and former prosecutors in your office, are reportedly planning to use an alleged federal campaign finance violation, previously declined by federal prosecutors, as a vehicle to extend the statute of limitations on an otherwise misdemeanor offense and indict for the first time in history a former President of the United States. Moreover, you are apparently attempting to upgrade a misdemeanor charge to a felony using an untested legal theory at the same time when you are simultaneously downgrading felony charges to misdemeanors in a majority of other cases in your jurisdiction.” the House Republicans wrote.
“Contrary to the central argument set forth in your letter, this matter does not simply involve local or state interests. Rather, the potential criminal indictment of a former President of the United States by an elected local prosecutor of the opposing political party (and who will face the prospect of re-election) implicates substantial federal interests, particularly in a jurisdiction where trial-level judges also are popularly elected,” they wrote.
Jordan, Comer and Steil told Alvin Bragg he has until March 31 to comply with their demands.

US authorities are now weighing an expansion of an emergency lending facility which could help boost First Republic bank after its stock plunged more than 90% this month amid the banking crisis.
Earlier this month customers lined up at a First Republic to withdraw their cash after Silicon Valley Bank collapsed.

This is just one of the options the Federal Reserve is weighing as regulators navigate a stressed banking sector, Bloomberg News reported.
Bloomberg reported:
US authorities are considering expanding an emergency lending facility for banks in ways that would give First Republic Bank more time to shore up its balance sheet, according to people with knowledge of the situation.
Officials have yet to decide on what support they could provide First Republic, if any, and an expansion of the Federal Reserve’s offering is one of several options being weighed at this early stage. Regulators continue to grapple with two other failed lenders — Silicon Val ..
Even short of that step, watchdogs see First Republic as stable enough to operate without any immediate intervention as the company and its advisers try to work out a deal to shore up its balance sheet, the people said, asking not to be named discussing confidential talks.
So who gets bailed out?
According to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, the US government is going to pick the winners and losers.

During her testimony last week, Secretary Yellen admitted that smaller regional banks across the country will not be bailed out by the US government. Only larger banks will be bailed out like Silicon Valley Bank and their depositors from China connected to the Chinese Communist Party.
Senator James Lankford (R-OK), last week grilled Yellen on who will be bailed out by the federal government and who will not. Lankford pointed out that the Biden-Yellen plan will force Americans to take money out of smaller banks and deposit it in the chosen banks the government has deemed worthwhile of protecting.
“Will the deposits in every community bank in Oklahoma, regardless of their size, be fully insured now? Are they fully recovered? Every bank, every community bank in Oklahoma, regardless of the size of the deposit, will they get the same treatment that SVBP just got or Signature Bank just got?” Senator Lankford asked.
“A bank only gets that treatment if a majority of the FDIC board, a supermajority, a supermajority of the Fed board, and I, in consultation with the president, determine that the failure to protect uninsured depositors would create systemic risk and significant economic and financial consequences.” Yellen said.

An Uber driver was carjacked and fatally shot in Los Angeles County Friday morning.
Former US Marine Aaron Orozco, a husband and father of two, was murdered Friday morning during his Uber shift after he picked up two black men.
According to reports, Orozco stopped at a 7-Eleven for an unknown reason. It was at this time that Orozco and the two black male passengers got into an argument.
One of the passengers pulled out a gun and shot Orozco in the chest/torso.
One suspect stole Orozco’s Honda Accord and drove off. The other suspect took off on foot.
Both suspects are still at large.
Uber said it canceled the rider’s account.
Fox 11 Los Angeles reported:
The Uber driver who was shot and killed by two passengers during his shift in Lynwood Friday morning was identified by family as former Marine Aaron Orozco.
Orozco was a father of two. His family told FOX 11 that he was based out of Camp Pendleton and completed three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He started driving for Uber at night so he could care for his children while his wife, Sandra, worked as a nurse.
“We were married for 10 years, but we’ve been together since high school, high school sweethearts,” his wife told FOX 11.
“I haven’t even told my kids yet, they still think dad is going to come through the door,” she added.
In four years he’s had no issues until the early morning of March 24 when he picked up two men.
Investigators with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said during the ride, Orozco stopped at a 7-Eleven store in 2800 block of Imperial Highway for an unknown reason. At some point, the passengers and Orozco got into an altercation and one of the passengers pulled out a gun and shot him in his upper body.
A store clerk witnessed the shooting and contacted authorities. When first responders arrived, Orozco’s body was found lying on the ground in the parking lot.
