- This Is Why Dick Cheney Is ENDORSING Kamala Harris Over Donald Trump
Former Vice President Dick Cheney said he plans to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris instead of former President Donald Trump — explaining that his decision had to do with Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
“In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump. He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him. He can never be trusted with power again," Cheney, 83, said Friday in a widely reported statement.He added, "As citizens, we each have a duty to put country above partisanship to defend our Constitution. That is why I will be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris."Related article: https://www.npr.org/2024/09/07/nx-s1-5104718/dick-cheney-voting-kamala-harris-trump-electionFollow - Independent Thought:INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/independentthought/?hl=en

19 min - Donald Trump Is OBVIOUSLY Bothered By Tim Walz’s “Weird” Comments - Here’s The Proof
Donald Trump repeatedly insisted that he and running mate JD Vance were “not weird”, moments before launching into a tangent about hating mosquitoes during a town hall, where he also attacked rival Kamala Harris and promised “the largest deportation in history” if he was to return to the White House.
The former president participated in a one-hour, pre-taped event with Fox News’ Sean Hannity in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on Wednesday.With few interjections from Hannity, Trump repeated common refrains about Harris’ economic agenda and her record at the border. He also worked to distance himself and “JD” from the “weird” label first given to them Democratic vice presidential candidate, Tim Walz.Related article: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-town-hall-sean-hannity-b2607337.htmlFollow - Independent Thought:

14 min - $1,000 Payment To New Parents Found UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Supreme Court Deals Major Ruling
A ballot proposal that would pay new Baltimore City parents $1,000 has been ruled unconstitutional by the Maryland Supreme Court. The question will not appear on the November ballot for city voters.
The Baltimore Baby Bonus campaign wanted the city to provide a one-time, $1,000 payment to new parents, whether through adoption or birth, in order to provide children and families with needed resources. The campaign collected more than the 10,000 signatures required to put the "baby bonus" on the ballot.Organizers of the campaign estimated the program would cost the city $7 million per year.The city opposed the initiative, saying it violates state and local laws by circumventing legislators, and that the city did not have the funds to sustain such payments.Related article: https://www.cbsnews.com/baltimore/news/maryland-supreme-court-rules-proposed-baltimore-baby-bonus-unconstitutional/Follow - Independent Thought:

9 min - RFK Jr. REMAINS On Several Swing States Ballots. Will This Bring Down Trump?
On Aug. 23, Kennedy suspended his campaign and endorsed Trump. Kennedy said his name would remain on the ballot in many noncompetitive states. But in the seven battleground states and three others that he considers competitive, he would request to have his name removed from the ballot.
"Our polling consistently showed that by staying on the ballot in the battleground states, I would likely hand the election over to the Democrats, with whom I disagree on the most existential issues," he said.Some of the states have granted Kennedy's request. Others say he must remain. Here's where his efforts to get off the ballot in those 10 states stand.Related article: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-ballot-battleground-states/Follow - Independent Thought:

9 min - Mark Zuckerberg ADMITS To Censoring Information At The Request Of The White House
On Monday, Zuckerberg sent a letter to the powerful House Judiciary Committee, stating that the Biden administration had “pressured” Meta to “censor” content during the pandemic.
“In 2021, senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree,” Zuckerberg said.The Meta chief added that the pressure he felt was “wrong” and he came to “regret” that his company, the parent of Facebook and Instagram, was not more outspoken.Related article: https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/27/media/mark-zuckerberg-election-season-republicans/index.htmlIndependent Thought is a podcast hosted by, Desmond Price.

Pentagon Makes Decision
The deployment of AI-controlled drones that can make autonomous decisions about whether to kill human targets is moving closer to reality, The New York Times reported.
Lethal autonomous weapons, that can select targets using AI, are being developed by countries including the US, China, and Israel.The use of the so-called "killer robots" would mark a disturbing development, say critics, handing life and death battlefield decisions to machines with no human input.Several governments are lobbying the UN for a binding resolution restricting the use of AI killer drones, but the US is among a group of nations — which also includes Russia, Australia, and Israel — who are resisting any such move, favoring a non-binding resolution instead, The Times reported.***I'm joined by my guest Chuck Corra, the host of the podcast - Appodlachia.

19 min - Wall Street BANNED? Democrats Look To BLOCK Investors From Housing Market
Two bills proposed by Democrats in Congress this week aim to curb home ownership by big investors in an attempt to improve buying conditions for Americans, the New York Times reported.
In the Senate, the End Hedge Fund Control of American Homes Act of 2023 would force big investors to sell off all the single-family homes they own over a period of 10 years, and eventually ban hedge funds from owning any single-family homes entirely."The housing in our neighborhoods should be homes for people, not profit centers for Wall Street," co-author of the bill, Senator Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., said in a press release. "Yet, in every corner of the country, giant financial corporations are buying up housing and driving up both rents and home prices. It's time for Congress to put in place commonsense guardrails that ensure all families have a fair chance to buy or rent a decent home in their community at a price they can afford."***I'm joined by my guest Natalie Bencivenga to discuss why this is welcomed news, but also to discuss why this isn't enough. We also touch on how this issue connects to the 2024 electionRelated article: https://www.businessinsider.com/housing-market-affordability-investors-hedge-funds-wall-street-democrats-bill-2023-12Follow Natalie Bencivenga:TIK TOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@nataliebencivengaINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/nataliebencivenga/Follow - Independent Thought:

18 min - 74% Say Tip 💰 Culture Gotten Out Hand
In a recent poll I conducted on Instagram, 74% of respondents said tipping culture has gotten out of hand in America. Is that true, or is this a more complicated subject?

Around 30% of respondents think that tipping culture is “out of control,” with more companies encouraging customers to tip at their counters than ever before.Patrons find the pre-entered tip screens aggravating (32%) and think businesses should pay their employees more rather than rely on gratuity (41%)***I'm joined by my guest PoliticN Lyn to discuss why this is a complicated subjectRelated article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2023/08/01/tipflation-americans-think-tipping-culture-is-out-of-control-and-employees-should-be-paid-more/?sh=54fc09803ae4Follow PoliticN Lyn:TIK TOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@theendofthedaynewsINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/politicnlyn/Follow - Independent Thought:

23 min - Why Biden's Latest Plan For DEFENDING Israel Is Completely WRONG | Independent Thought Podcast ✅
President Joe Biden on Tuesday urged global condemnation of Hamas’ “horrific” use of sexual violence against women and girls in Israel during the group’s Oct. 7 attack.
The president, citing survivor and witness accounts, said Hamas repeatedly raped women and girls during the assault and that their bodies were mutilated while they were still alive.“Hamas terrorists inflicting as much pain and suffering on women and girls as possible and then murdering them. It is appalling,” Biden said during a campaign reception in Boston.“It’s on all of us — government, international organizations, civil society and businesses — to forcefully condemn the sexual violence of Hamas terrorists without equivocation. Without equivocation, without exception,” he added***I'm joined by my guest Kiki May to discuss what the President said, why we think he's bringing attention to this now & WHY we have a problem with itRelated article: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/12/05/biden-condemn-sexual-violence-hamas-00130221Follow KikiMay:TIK TOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@kikimay612INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/kikimay612/Follow - Independent Thought:
