Trump requests military aircraft and vehicles amid Iran threat
Wiles said Trump’s campaign is being hampered in its planning because of threats, and expects to hold far more events in the final weeks of the campaign. The Secret Service is also imposing temporary flight restrictions “over the former president’s residence and when he travels,” he added. The official said the U.S. government was frustrated by the Trump campaign releasing statements that they felt politicized the briefings the campaign was given on Iran. The Secret Service has repeatedly escalated Trump’s security, but not to levels the campaign wants, the people said. The foiled plot prompted national security officials to alert the Secret Service about unspecified Iranian threats to Trump.

Friday roundup: Special Tampa Bay Rays roof crisis edition
Seems like all anybody wants to talk about today is what the Tampa Bay Rays will do now that their stadium roof blew off and also how insensitive it is to be talking about what the Rays will do when millions of people are still without power, so let’s get right to answering your questions and/or offending your sensibilities:Share this post:

Why Kamala Harris gave ‘Call Her Daddy’ longer than mainstream media - The Washington Post
Anyone in possession of those numbers must be careful not to jam the Harris-Walz calendar with mainstream media interviews. And then, after “60 Minutes” correspondent Bill Whitaker grilled Harris earlier this week, right-wing media outlets hyped the accountability moments, even as Trump bailed on his “60 Minutes” interview. “‘You Have Changed’: Harris Faces Brutal Grilling On Flip-Flops, Border Crisis In 60 Minutes Interview,” reads the headline of the write-up by the Daily Caller. The American right would do well to acknowledge that the reviled mainstream media has a history of going after anyone who dares mount a presidential campaign. In an appearance with host Alex Cooper on the podcast “Call Her Daddy,” Harris discussed reproductive rights and related issues.

Walz weighs in on Biden's term when pressed on 'GMA'
The governor was initially asked by "GMA" co-anchor Michael Strahan whether he’d have led the country differently from Biden on any points. His running mate, Vice President Kamala Harris, was not able to identify a decision where she would have gone another way when posed a similar question on “The View” earlier this week. Walz also highlighted that Harris' values haven’t changed, which is something her critics have accused her of doing. And I do think in these positions, whether it be governor or being vice president of the United States, you do need to be careful,” Walz responded.

Trump's campaign requests military aircraft and armored vehicles in response to threats from Iran
The Trump campaign’s requests were outlined in a letter to acting Secret Service director Ronald Rowe Jr. from senior Trump campaign adviser Susie Wiles and obtained by The Associated Press. Iranian hackers have also been charged with stealing information from Trump’s campaign and trying to pass it along to news organizations. In May, prosecutors say, the men charged began trying to penetrate the Trump campaign, successfully breaking into the email accounts of campaign officials and other Trump allies. Trump's campaign has complained that the Biden White House has downplayed the death threats. “This administration spends more time focused on a hack of emails than they do the Iranians who are trying to kill Donald Trump," Trump campaign senior adviser Chris LaCivita told reporters in Pennsylvania last weekend.

COVID-19 infections during 1st wave linked to higher risk of heart attack and stroke: Study
People who were diagnosed with severe COVID-19 infections from the first wave of the pandemic could face double the risk of heart attack and stroke, a new study has found. "Findings suggest severe COVID-19 infection as a catastrophic component," Dr. Hooman Allayee, the study's principal investigator, told ABC News. "Blood type is known to be associated with heart attack and stroke risk," said Allayee, who is a professor of population and public health sciences at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. "If your blood type is A, B or AB, the virus is more likely to infect you and makes these blood cells open to viral entry."

They look better and require less maintenance. Wood fences can weather and look unsightly, plus masonry walls help to block sound. Residents should have a choice of what kind of barriers are put up near their homes. Allowing a variety of materials will be better for aesthetics, and costs may be lower. Masonry walls may be sturdier, but mandating them is problematic.
