Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to announce a running mate for his independent presidential campaign on March 26 in Oakland, California, his campaign said Tuesday.
The campaign did not say whom Kennedy will pick, but he told The New York Times this week that NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers and former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura are among the frontrunners.
Kennedy is making an unusually early announcement because of ballot access rules in many states that require independent candidates to name their vice presidential nominees before they can begin the process. Ballot access for independent candidates is an expensive and time-consuming endeavor, with rules varying vastly across states.
Kennedy’s father was attorney general for the candidate’s uncle, President John F. Kennedy. He began his presidential campaign as a primary challenge to Democratic President Joe Biden but later changed gears to run as an independent. His bid for the presidency, along with his embrace of conspiracy theories and views on vaccines that aren’t supported by scientific consensus, have angered many of his famous relatives.
Kennedy is a lawyer and environmental activist who has found a loyal following among people who believe vaccines are harmful. He’s energized supporters alienated from the political system and distrustful of the government, corporations and media.
Candidates from outside the Republican and Democratic parties rarely make a splash, if they can make the ballot to begin with. But third-party candidates don’t usually carry a famous last name like Kennedy’s, or his existing network of supporters.
Rodgers, the longtime Green Bay Packers quarterback who now plays for the New York Jets, shares Kennedy’s distrust of vaccine mandates and, like Kennedy, is a fixture on anti-establishment podcasts. Ventura, a former professional wrestler, shocked observers when he won the race for Minnesota governor as an independent candidate in 1998.
This Saturday, March 16, a new talk show, “Conversations with KD Hall,” is set to debut in the Seattle market at 7:30 PM on KING 5 TV.
Hosted by KD Hall, founder of the KD Hall Foundation, and her co-host, Portia Polo, who is currently a junior in high school, this one-of-a-kind talk show will feature multiple diverse perspectives and stories on topics like sports, women, healthcare, and mental health during the first season. The show will feature influential community leaders engaging in unscripted discussions to spread awareness about various diverse topics.
“We are going to premiere one episode in March, April, and then starting in May, they are going to premiere [another episode] every other week,” says Hall.
Following the release of the pilot episode trailer on March 4th, Hall met with empowering women leaders in sports – including the CEO of the Sounders, the Vice President for the Kraken, and the Seattle Sports Commission President, who were all women at the top of these male-dominated sports — where all of their ideas and stories were collaborated to create a safe space within the show and encourage audiences to come together.
“The first season is really focusing on three different areas: women, sports, and mental health. What you are going to see drawn together is a lot of correlations between women in sports, women in mental health, and even our male-dominated sports that still have women sitting at the top of the leadership teams,” says Hall.
According to Hall, the show is an extension of the work that she has already been doing with the KD Hall Foundation, which celebrated its 10-year anniversary on March 1st. The foundation, established in 2014, is dedicated to empowering communities and uses media content to promote open dialogue through innovative programming. The foundation also creates platforms where each and every story and voice is valued, in hopes of making a difference, particularly among young people and our young girls.
“The span and twist is one of the segments and is going to be dedicated to Generation Z and Generation Alpha, in which Portia will be leading those conversations, coming in to talk about sports and mental health which helps show the correlation between the talk show and the [foundation],” shared Hall.
“Everybody talks about having a youth voice, but nobody really works with the youth, and I think that is another thing that is dynamic about what we are doing,” continued Hall. “When you look at our track record over the last 10 years, we have been working with youth, and we are not just adding youth to this now to try and get money or trying to get some form of notoriety or popularity. Everything is just starting to become more public about what we have already been doing over the past years.”
Before graduating in 2005, Hall started a sports talk show before graduating in 2005 at Oakland University in Michigan. After college, Hall faced adversities trying to get into her career field, and she soon realized that TV and public speaking always found their way back to her.
The new talk show will offer topics that are for everybody. Looking to approach this new talk show with an optimistic approach, Hall hopes to get people to tune in and give her the opportunity to get people to learn with and from her show.
“The reason we are doing this is for two main reasons. For one, we need some good news, especially as we are heading into a political election; all you are going to see is negative news out there,” said Hall, who says that the show is a 19-year dream come true. “I have been in the journalism field since 2000 and I have noticed that negative news is what you get. We are trying to bring some inspirational stories, and we are not shying away from serious topics either.”
In addition to the premiere of “Conversations with KD Hall” during Women’s History Month, the KD Hall Foundation will also host a resource fair at its Central District location that is dedicated to girls and their mothers to learn about the programs the foundation has to offer. Currently having 97 girls signed up, Hall shared that they are all paid for their time and they are paid to learn.
“We want the girls to come out to learn about our storytelling workshops, and classes to learn about our programming both in school and in leadership,” said Hall. “We graduated 1,000 girls out of our programs in 10 years, and also graduated 62 women out of colleges like the University of Washington and Washington State University, which I am proud about.”
‘It is time for Congress to step in and put an end to this madness by holding sanctuary cities accountable and empowering ICE to gain custody of criminal illegal immigrants so they can’t cause more harm and violence,’ says bill sponsor Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.)
Cities welcoming illegal aliens in violation of federal immigration laws could be held legally liable for felony crimes committed by those illegals against US citizens, according to a proposed Senate bill.
The “Justice for Victims of Sanctuary Cities Act,” introduced this week by Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), aims to provide families of victims of murder, rape, or any felony with legal avenues to seek relief if a jurisdiction declined to honor a lawful immigration detainer request.
The bill is one of two illegal immigration proposals sponsored by Sen. Tillis this week, with the “Immigration Detainer Enforcement Act” also aiming to clarify DHS detainer rules and incentivize coordination between the DHS and local jurisdictions.
“For too long, we have watched local jurisdictions in North Carolina and across the country ignore the lawful notification and detainer requests made by ICE agents and instead release dangerous criminals back into their communities and put innocent lives at risk,” Sen. Tillis’ office wrote in a statement.
“It is clear President Biden and liberal politicians want to prioritize reckless sanctuary policies over public safety. It is time for Congress to step in and put an end to this madness by holding sanctuary cities accountable and empowering ICE to gain custody of criminal illegal immigrants so they can’t cause more harm and violence.”

The suggested proposals come as Americans have been rocked by a wave of illegal immigrant crime over the past few months, while the southern border is inundated with thousands of illegal border crossers on a daily basis.
The Trump campaign has capitalized on Biden’s failure to secure the border with an ad highlighting the recent tragic murder of Georgia university student Laken Riley at the hands of a Venezuelan migrant with a long criminal rap sheet who was released into the country by border patrol.
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has reiterated that there is marked improvement in the security situation of the FCT.
Wike said this while addressing journalists in Abuja on Wednesday, shortly after a closed-door meeting on security with the Senate at the National Assembly.
The minister had hunoured the lawmakers’ invitation to brief them on the security situation in the federal capital.
Wike said there has been a reduction in crime and criminalities in the FCT, noting that two of the most wanted kidnappers in the FCT were recently arrested.
While noting that it was impossible to put a total stop to crime and criminalities in any society, Wike assured that the FCT Administration, working with the security agencies, will continue to do its best to secure lives and property in the nation’s capital.
His words: “Even the Senators agreed that security has quite improved in the FCT. There is no part of this world where criminality has been eradicated completely.
“What we are trying to say is being able to limit or reduce the level of insecurity. But if anybody tells you that as a society is concerned, you will not have one form of criminality, that is not correct and we must have to tell ourselves the truth”.
Wike also disclosed that the kidnapping incidents in the FCT were sometimes stage-managed by unscrupulous elements in the society while assuring that the security agencies will continue to ensure that kidnapped victims were released.
According to the Minister, “The kidnappings you hear, sometimes, are stage-managed by people. There are some internal arrangements. Take for example, you have a housekeeper in the house, you have a driver who will plot to kidnap the child of their master. In that case, what do you want us to do? All we can do is to see how the person that has been kidnapped is released. But to stop it will be difficult because it’s an in-house arrangement, where a driver that is involved in bringing a child from school will mastermind the kidnapping”.
Speaking further, the Minister said, “I’m not saying that we don’t have kidnapping. Mind you, two most notorious kidnappers, we have gotten them and that’s why you see that the level of kidnapping has reduced.
“We are not saying that we have gotten where we want to be, but we are doing a lot and people must acknowledge that what used to be is not what we are seeing now and we will continue to do our best by providing the best for our people, but we cannot give you the assurance that there will be no form of criminality. Nobody can say that”.
In recent times, the FCT witnessed a significant rise in cases of kidnapping and attacks prompting the creation of a Special Intervention Squad to combat the situation.
At the height of the attacks, the senator representing the FCT, Ireti Kingibe had vowed to summon Wike and heads of security agencies over the spike in crimes in the nation’s capital.
“He should be able to tell us, the committee, and specifically me, that this is the plan for protecting the people of the FCT. Between him, the police commissioner, and the head of the DSS, they must have a plan,” Kingibe had said.

An old artificial intelligence-generated photo of former President Donald Trump is making the rounds again as the 2024 presidential election intensifies.
A March 6 Facebook post claimed “America stands with Trump” and included what appeared to be a photo of Trump walking on a street lined with flags, leading a crowd that has massed behind him.
This Facebook post was flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram.)
The image was initially shared April 4, 2023, on X by Trump’s son, Eric Trump, who wrote, “One of a kind!” The image is not authentic and was generated by artificial intelligence.
When Eric Trump originally shared the image, it included a watermark from the Twitter account Brick Suit, a social media figure who wears a brick-patterned suit at the Trump rallies he frequently attends.. The Facebook post resharing the image did not include the watermark.
The image has clues that it was generated by artificial intelligence. For example, the faces and hands of the people in the background behind Trump are significantly distorted.
Other AI-generated fake photos of Trump have circulated in recent years, including a widely shared mug shot after he surrendered Aug. 24, 2023, at the Fulton County jail in Georgia following his indictment on racketeering and conspiracy charges.

“Numerology” tries to find reality within various measurements of economic and real estate trends.
Buzz: What if homeowners are simply not selling because they like their homes?
Source: My trusty spreadsheet reviewed home transaction data from Attom tracking last year’s sales by length of ownership, price sold, and profits – the difference between sale and purchase price. The focus was on the 50 most-populated metro areas, including eight California markets.
Fuzzy math: The home-selling industry seems quite upset that homeowners aren’t moving like they once did. Ownership lengths have essentially doubled in the past two decades, and transaction levels tumbled to historic lows in 2023.
Topline
Last year’s sellers in these big California metros owned for an average 10.6 years – up from 9.8 in pre-pandemic 2019 and 5.5 in 2003. That’s ownership duration that grew by eight months in 4 years and was 5.1 years longer over 20 years.
And the typical seller was cashing in on some handsome profits: a $747,500 home with a $311,000 gain.
So you see, the growing length of ownership was happening way before historically cheap mortgages. It’s a similar tale nationally.
Homes sold in the 42 big metros outside the Golden State had been owned for 8.4 years in 2023 vs. 8.2 in 2019 and 3.7 in 2000. That’s two months more over four years and 4.7 years longer over 20. Last year’s typical US seller moved from a $375,000 home with a $174,000 gain.
Bottom line
The why of this all is largely a lot of guesswork.
Some real estate gurus suggest that owners with low-rate mortgages are unwilling to part with their financing bargains obtained in the heat of the pandemic era’s stimulus boom. But conversely, many owners can’t afford to buy anything else – as the sharp rebound in mortgage rates and soaring prices slashed affordability.
Also, selling is quite the hassle – and expensive. Paying for various transaction services – never mind the move itself – can cost 10% or more of the purchase price. And some ownerships have been so profitable, there are capital gains taxes to consider, too.
Plus, there’s that pride of ownership that comes with lengthy stays. If you’ve owned a home for a decade or more – you’ve likely upgraded it. So you’ve got a financial, and likely emotional, tie to the place.
So I’m willing to bet that the current state of the market – a meager number of homes for sale and limited transactions – becomes somewhat a new norm.
Barring some dramatic economic or real estate upheaval – not to mention, death, divorce or debts – too many folks have gotten very comfortable in their current residence.
They’re NOT moving!
Locally speaking
Ponder the eight big California metros among the nation’s Top 50 and how the ownership longevity of last year’s sellers stacks up, ranked by ownership duration of 2023 sellers. The Bay Area had numerous long-time owners cashing out …
San Francisco: Owned 11.9 years – sixth-highest of the 50 – vs. 10.5 years in pre-pandemic 2019 and 5.7 in 2003. That’s 1.4 more in 4 years (the biggest increase) and 6.2 longer ownership over 20 years, No. 6. Last year’s seller had a $1.01 million home with a $460,000 gain.
San Jose: 11.7 years – No. 7 – vs. 10.5 in 2019 and 5.7 in 2003. That’s 1.2 years more in 4 years (No. 3) and 6 years longer over 20, No. 8. Last year’s seller: $1.4 million home with a $755,000 gain.
Fresno: 10.9 years – No. 8 – vs. 10.1 in 2019 and 6.1 in 2003. That’s 10 months more in 4 years (No. 6) and 4.7 years longer over 20, No. 22. Last year’s seller: $380,000 home with a $110,500 gain.
Los Angeles-Orange County: 10.2 years – No. 13 – vs. 10.1 in 2019 and 5.5 in 2003. That’s 1 month more in 4 years (No. 29) and 4.8 longer over 20, No. 21. Last year’s seller: $880,000 home with a $380,000.
San Diego: 10.3 years – No. 12 – vs. 9.9 in 2019 and 5.4 in 2003. That’s 6 months more in 4 years (No. 15) and 5 years longer over 20, No. 18. Last year’s seller: $830,000 home with a $330,000.
Sacramento: 10.5 years – No. 11 – vs. 9.3 in 2019 and 5.2 in 2003. That’s 1.1 years more in 4 years (No. 4) and 5.3 years longer over 20, No. 15. Last year’s seller: $545,000 home with a $160,000 gain.
Inland Empire: 9.6 years – No. 16 – vs. 9.3 in 2019 and 5.4 in 2003. That’s 4 months more in 4 years (No. 23) and 4.2 years longer over 20, No. 35. Last year’s seller: $540,000 home with a $190,000 gain.
Bakersfield: 9.4 years – No. 17 – vs. 9 in 2019 and 5.1 in 2000. That’s 5 months more in 4 years (No. 17) and 4.3 year slonger over 20, No. 33. Last year’s seller: $330,000 home with a $105,000 gain.

For more than 45 years, Michael Parker was there for his wife, Lucille, one of the world’s longest continuous dialysis patients – and from what is known, most likely the longest Black continuous dialysis patient.
Feisty and outspoken throughout her life, Lucille passed last April, just a month after turning 66. Michael was there, just as he had been from the time he met Lucille in Illinois so many years earlier. “One day I seen her and she was across the street and I said, ‘oh, girl.’ A couple weeks later she walked up to me. She said ‘I wanted to meet you; I heard a lot about you,’” he said. They had a love affair for the ages, despite their age difference of eight years. “I said, ‘who is this young girl?’ She was very pretty and very mature,” he said.
Lucille was diagnosed with kidney disease very early in life, at age 19. A year later she started dialysis treatments to clean waste and water from her blood, replacing the work her failing kidneys could no longer do. Although Michael knew of Lucille’s illness, neither likely realized when they met what it really meant and how it would play such a role in their lives as they grew old together.
But Michael knew it was important that Lucille receive the best care possible. In the late 1970s he convinced her to move back to his home in Seattle, where he had heard good things about the dialysis care offered by Northwest Kidney Centers and thought that Lucille might have a better chance of getting a kidney transplant.
Eventually she got one. But it failed, and Lucille went back on dialysis – this time becoming one of the early users of in-home dialysis treatments. Michael became her coach, home nurse and cheerleader. As many partners of dialysis patients do, Michael made sure his wife safely connected to the dialysis machine several times a week and managed the heavy boxes of liquid dialysate and other medical supplies needed for the home dialysis machine.
“Mike is an expert at the equipment, the supplies, setting it all together,” Lucille said in a video recorded last year for Northwest Kidney Centers. “Having Mike around me to support me and to keep pushing me is what I needed.”
Michael agreed: “We grew up with dialysis. The main thing when we was introduced to the illness is that you have to accept it for what it is. That means when you marry someone, it’s for better and for worse. I’ve watched her from running to semi-walking and now she’s in a wheelchair.”
Thinking back to last year, Michael acknowledges it wasn’t always easy. “You have to do a lot of sacrifice. Things we want to do, we can’t do, and we have to work together to resolve the problem and the attitudes,” he said, adding that he viewed dialysis like getting up in the morning and going to bed at night – something they had do. “We had our ups and downs. We had to argue sometime when she didn’t want to get on (the machine). I said ‘I can’t force you to get on, but if you care about me, you have to get on.’ She chose life, and that’s why we were on for 45 years.”
And he wouldn’t have it any other way.
“We always managed to get to it, somehow, all these years. It was very difficult. But love is something else. Love is putting yourself last and others first. It’s about sacrifice. All these years I sacrificed my life for her life. Because it’s important to me. Every time I see a kidney center, I think about her. When I go in the hospital now for myself, I think about her,” said Michael, now 75. “It’s a constant thought because that’s all I had in my life for 46 years.”
A love story for the ages
Theirs is an enviable love story. They did everything together, from traveling around the country in a motorhome, washing cars, cutting the grass and painting houses to singing in the church choir on Sunday and going to the movies on Saturday night. Lucille worked as an office manager while raising their son and daughter and Mike worked as a dry cleaner along with the other businesses he started.
“She was my partner on everything, and we were very close,” said Michael, who added that the two were the life of the party, often showing up dressed alike in matching colors. “We both had a sense of humor and that’s what kept us going. We did cry together, but we laughed about it too.”
Michael says that “When you find someone you care about, you put yourself behind that person. This will be your life. I found the person I want to be with. I told her ‘I’m never going to leave.’ I said ‘I’m going to be with you until the end’ until she took her last breath. It was real challenging and I don’t regret one day of it. I learned a lot about life, love and sacrifice. Before she passed she thanked me.”
About kidney disease
Lucille inherited a genetic condition from her father that inflames the small blood vessels in the kidneys. That put her in the minority of people with kidney failure, who more often develop kidney problems after a history of diabetes or uncontrolled high blood pressure. Over the years, she died three times. She had a heart attack at a dialysis clinic and was revived by a nurse who administered CPR until the medics arrived. She pulled through two additional near-death experiences, battled intestinal infection, and had a hip replacement.
Michael said that the last five years of Lucille’s life were touch and go, and the last two years were “terrible. I had to sleep on the dialysis room floor with her because she was in a lot of pain.” But, he said, like a commitment to God, he made a commitment to care for Lucille. “I’m still going through pain and suffering and it’s going to take a while to get over this grief. I definitely need God in my life. I can’t turn to nobody else to help me get through this.”
But in the end, he said, “I don’t regret a day of it.”
Michael and Lucille’s story offers the opportunity to raise awareness of kidney disease, which affects more than 1 in 7 Americans and more than 1 in 3 Black Americans. March is National Kidney Month, a time to focus on health and learn about kidney disease, which oftentimes can be prevented and controlled. Here are some tips:
• Follow prescribed treatments to control diabetes and/or high blood pressure, the biggest causes of kidney disease.
• Lose extra weight with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
• Don’t overuse over-the-counter pain medicines.
• Don’t smoke.
• Eat more fresh food to avoid the damaging salt that preserves our processed food.
• Know your family health history.
• Ask your doctor to test you for kidney disease if you are at risk — take a quiz to find out at

The ruling, which is not linked to Fulton County DA Fani Willis’s (D) relationship with a special prosecutor she hired on the case – however McAfee is expected to rule on that later this week as well.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee dismissed six charges out of the 40-count indictment in the election interference case against former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants, including three of the counts against Trump.
The ruling, which is not linked to Fulton County DA Fani Willis’s (D) relationship with a special prosecutor she hired on the case – however McAfee is expected to rule on that later this week as well.
The tossed charges do not impact the RICO charge that serves as the foundation for this unprecedented prosecution.
Each of the tossed charges related to alleged efforts by Trump and some of his co-defendants, including former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, to solicit Georgia officials to violate their oaths of office.
The judge ruled that while the charges do contain the “essential” elements of each crime, they fail to provide enough detail for the defendants to mount their defenses. Under the current charges, McAfee said, the defendants could have violated the law in “dozens, if not hundreds, of distinct ways.” -The Hill

“The Court’s concern is less that the State has failed to allege sufficient conduct of the Defendants – in fact it has alleged an abundance,” McAfee wrote. “However, the lack of detail concerning an essential legal element is, in the undersigned’s opinion, fatal.”
McAfee also emphasized that his ruling “does not mean the entire indictment is dismissed,” and preserved Fulton County’s ability to seek new indictments once they supplement the charges to his satisfaction.
He also gave the state a six-month extension to resubmit the charges to a grand jury, even if the statute of limitations expires, and that he would “likely grant” a request to appeal.

Seventeen commissioners of the National Population Commission (NPC) took their oath of office and oath of allegiance before President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday in Abuja.
NPC is Nigeria’s principal data mining commission responsible for collecting, collating, analysing and publishing data about the Nigerian people and economy.
It also has the mandate to undertake demographic sample surveys, compile, collate and publish migration and civil registration statistics as well as monitor the country’s population policy.
A fortnight ago, the Senate screened and confirmed 17 commissioners out of the 19 commissioners whose nominations were sent to it by President Bola Tinubu as the two others did not appear for screening.
Those who took the oath of office on Wednesday were Mr Emmanuel Eke (Abia), Mr Clifford Zirra (Adamawa), Mr Chidi Ezeoke (Anambra), Malam Isa Buratal (Borno), Mr Alex Ukam (Cross River), and Blessyn Brume-Maguha (Delta).
Others were Dr Jeremiah Nwankwegu (Ebonyi), Dr Tony Alyejina (Edo), Mr Ejike Ezeh (Enugu), Malam Abubakar Damburam (Gombe) Prof. Uba Nnabue (Imo), and Hajia Sa’adatu Garba (Kaduna).
Others still were Dr Aminu Tsanyawa (Kano), Mr Yori Afolabi (Kogi), Mrs Mary Afan (Plateau), Mr Saany Sale (Taraba) and Ogiri Henry (Rivers).

SANTA CLARA — The 49ers’ defensive makeover this offseason couldn’t ignore their linebacker unit, and today’s start of the league year has them connected with veteran Eric Kendricks.
Kendrcks, 32, is expected to sign a one-year contract with the reigning NFC champions, ESPN first reported. That swiftly addresses the 49ers’ need for a plug-and-play linebacker to, at the very least, cover for Dre Greenlaw, who sustained a torn Achilles tendon in last month’s Super Bowl.
Pairing Kendricks with two-time All-Pro Fred Warner should stabilize and enhance a 49ers defense under new coordinator Nick Sorensen, whose promotion last month from pass-game specialist still hasn’t been formally announced by the 49ers.
Kendricks is a Clovis native who played at Hoover High-Fresno before coming out of UCLA in 2015 as arguably the nation’s top linebacker. Drafted in the second round by the Minnesota Vikings, Kendricks played eight years with them before moving on last year to the Los Angeles Chargers, where he totaled 117 tackles.
Kendricks’ connection to the Chargers also links him with Brandon Staley, who was fired as their coach last season and is now on the 49ers’ defensive staff.
Kendricks’ lone season as an All-Pro and Pro Bowl linebacker came with the 2019 Vikings, who fell in the divisional playoffs to the Super Bowl-bound 49ers; Kendricks intercepted Jimmy Garoppolo in that game.
Kenrick’s 1,036 career tackles rank sixth among active players; Warner ranks 16th with 766 tackles since 2018. Kendricks’ brother, Mychal, signed with the 49ers during the 2019 season but did not play a game as he finished out his 10-year career out of Cal, including stints in Philadelphia and Seattle.
Oren Burks and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, both of whom helped fill in after Greenlaw’s stunning exit in the Super Bowl, are free agents.
During the NFL’s free agency negotiating window the past two days, the 49ers reportedly agreed to two-year deals with defensive ends Leonard Floyd and Yetur Gross-Matos and defensive tackle Jordan Elliott.
Many more personnel moves are expected today, including the release of defensive tackle Arik Armstead, a nine-year veteran and four-time captain who was to require offseason knee surgery for a torn meniscus.
