France to End State of Emergency in New Caledonia Amid Unrest

France is set to lift the state of emergency in New Caledonia, a French Pacific territory, following a period of unrest that resulted in seven deaths and significant destruction. The decision, announced by French President Emmanuel Macron's office, aims to foster political dialogue and address the issues that led to the riots. The state of emergency, initially imposed to manage the crisis, will conclude as scheduled, without extension beyond its twelve-day legal duration. This move comes after debates in the French legislature over amending the constitution concerning voter lists in New Caledonia, which contributed to the tensions. Additional mobile force units are being deployed to the territory as reinforcements to ensure stability as the region transitions out of the emergency state.

I can't believe Macron's government is ending the state of emergency in New Caledonia just like that. It's like they're inviting chaos back by not taking a stronger stance to ensure law and order in our territories.

It's a relief to see France recognizing the importance of dialogue over force in New Caledonia, addressing the unrest with a more sustainable approach. Hopefully, this marks the beginning of genuine efforts to tackle the underlying issues and work towards true equality and representation for the people of New Caledonia.

JD Vance Says Kamala Harris entering race was a "sucker punch"

The Republican vice-presidential nominee, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), privately told donors that running against Vice President Harris instead of President Biden made the race more challenging — an admission at odds with the Donald Trump campaign’s public projections of confidence.“All of us were hit with a little bit of a political sucker punch,” Vance said about Biden’s withdrawal on July 21, according to a recording of his remarks at a Saturday fundraiser in Golden Valley, Minn. “The bad news is that Kamala Harris does not have the same baggage as Joe Biden, because whatever we might have to say, Kamala is a lot younger. And Kamala Harris is obviously not struggling in the same ways that Joe Biden did.”Publicly, the Trump campaign has insisted that Harris replacing Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket has not changed the race, arguing that she shares responsibility for public dissatisfaction with Biden’s leadership. Vance told reporters on July 22, a day after Biden dropped out of the race, that there was no difference in running against Harris vs. Biden.“I don’t think the political calculus changes at all,” Vance said. “We were running against Joe Biden’s open border, Kamala Harris’s open border. Kamala Harris supported the green new scam. Kamala Harris, frankly, covered Joe Biden even though it was obvious he was mentally incompetent for a very long time.
