A new Yahoo News/YouGov poll finds Joe Biden leading Donald Trump in the presidential race among registered voters, 46% to 44%.
The past six Yahoo News/YouGov surveys showed Trump leading or tied with Biden among registered voters in a head-to-head matchup.
“President Joe Biden is set to visit the American cemetery outside Paris honoring World War I dead on Sunday, setting up a contrast with former President Donald Trump, who skipped a visit to the cemetery during a 2018 trip,” CNN reports.
“Biden will cap off a five-day trip to France paying his respects with a wreath-laying at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery and Memorial before returning to Washington.
“Donald Trump’s behavior should disqualify him for the presidency, Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to tell a state Democratic Party dinner in Detroit on Saturday night, in one of her first campaign appearances since the former president’s historic criminal conviction,” Politico reports.
“Israel’s military launched one of the bloodiest raids of the war Saturday, killing more than 200 Palestinians in a brazen operation to rescue four hostages from the central Gaza Strip,” the Washington Post reports.
“Israeli forces recovered the hostages alive from two buildings in Nuseirat, an impoverished refugee camp. But the fiery assault, in the middle of the day, left unimaginable devastation in its wake.”
“Residential blocks were destroyed, tanks menaced the streets and grievously wounded Palestinians, some without limbs, writhed in pain on the dusty roads of the camp’s central market, according to videos and images of the raid.”
I was part of John Taylor's solo band for many years and recorded this EP back in 1998.
Yours truly played tenor sax and flute.
I wanted you to know that John Taylor is wonderful human being and is not enamored by his being a rock star, nor by the fact that Duran Duran was inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame.
He's just one of the guys.
