Former President Trump, in a string of posts on his Truth Social, repeatedly insulted Vice President Kamala Harris — whom he called “Comrade Kamala” — as she spoke Thursday night at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where she formally accepted her party’s nomination for president. Trump billed the running commentary as a live analysis of what he called “her ‘puff piece.” “Too many ‘Thank yous,’ too rapidly said, what’s going on with her?” he asked as Harris began her remarks. He asked where Hunter Biden was. He said Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a former high school football coach, “was an ASSISTANT Coach, not a COACH.” And, just after Harris praised her late mother for teaching her and her sister to “never do anything half-assed,” Trump truthed: “Kamala’s biography won’t lower prices at the Grocery Store, or at the Pump!” Harris blasted Trump’s behavior during the deadly insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, when his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to undermine the certification of Joe Biden’s electoral win. “In many ways, Donald Trump is an unserious man,” Harris said.

Before there were immigrant “monsters” to occupy Donald Trump’s hate, there was the Central Park Five. Most people know the case: Five Black kids accused of brutally raping a woman in New York City in the spring of 1989, leaving her brain-damaged, naked and gagged. Within days, police had obtained confessions from the teenagers — ages 14 to 16 — through methods considered today, at best, controversial. Those coerced confessions would lead to the convictions of Raymond Santana, Kevin Richardson, Antron McCray, Yusef Salaam and Korey Wise — and unjust incarcerations for a crime they had no part of. Years later, in 2002, through the confession of the real rapist and the advances of DNA evidence, the boys were exonerated — and became known as the Exonerated Five. But it has never been enough for Trump. Nearly two weeks after the attack, Trump took out a full-page ad in the New York Times and three other newspapers, at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars, to call for the death of the boys. “BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY. BRING BACK OUR POLICE!” his headline

A planned extension of the Bob Jones Trail may not happen following a vote by the Board of Supervisors Tuesday. The Board of Supervisors voted 3-1 on the motion of eminent domain. Supervisor Debbie Arnold voted against the motion while Supervisor John Peschong recused himself. “Eminent domain is used when there’s something owned by a private property owner but is beneficial to the public good and therefore we were trying to get four votes to see if we could start that process, Dawn Ortiz-Legg Third District Supervisor said. The Bob Jones expansion project would close a 4.5-mile gap in the trail, connecting it from San Luis Obispo to Pismo Beach. The trail would run along the bottom of Ray Bunnell’s property for just over a mile next to Highway 101 and San Luis Creek. KSBY spoke with Bunnell over the phone on Thursday. He said hes been fighting the county on the trail for 15 years and has written several letters to the board of supervisors saying he is not opposed to the trail, but the trail proposition has changed a lot since the beginning

A brush fire that broke out Thursday alongside Highway 243 in the San Bernardino National Forest south of Banning scorched about 30 acres before it was stopped. The non-injury “Edna Fire” was reported at 3:40 p.m. in the area of Highway 243 and Mount Edna Road, according to the Riverside County Fire Department. The agency said that multiple engine crews were sent to the location, along with two Cal Fire air tankers and two water-dropping helicopters, encountering flames moving at a moderate rate on the southbound side of the two-lane mountain corridor. Banning police officers shut down traffic lanes going out of the city into the federal preserve for public safety. Northbound traffic was not impacted. Aircraft initiated runs on the brusher that slowed its advance, and by 6 p.m., the forward rate of spread had been stopped, according to reports from the scene. No homes or other structures were threatened. The cause of the fire was under investigation.

A suspect who allegedly shot a man with a pellet gun while the victim was pumping gas at a Northridge fuel station was charged Thursday with attempted murder.

Stephen Curry, the three-point-draining Golden State Warrior and NBA All-Star who just won a gold medal with Team USA at the Paris Olympics, appeared via video at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday night to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as the nation’s next president. Curry, with his gold medal around his neck, said the “unity on and off the court” at the Olympics “reminded us all that together we can do all things and continue to inspire the world.” “And that’s why I believe that Kamala as president could bring unity back and continue to move our country forward,” he said. “This is about preserving hope and belief in our country, making sure families can be taken care of during their most precious times.” Curry’s remarks came two days after Steve Kerr, coach of Team USA in Paris and of multiple championship-winning Warriors teams, spoke in person at the Democrats’ convention in Chicago.
