Opinion | Reflecting on Biden’s Exit and His Legacy
  + stars: | 2024-07-27 | by ( ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
To the Editor:As Joe Biden exits American political life, I’m filled with sadness and some regret. For my entire life, he’s been such a permanent fixture that it will be strange not to see images of him on the Senate floor or on the White House lawn. That megawatt smile and the constant messages of optimism, reassurance and decency that he conveyed — what will we do without them? Joe Biden has always been an extension of my father in a way — someone who loves people, feeds off their energy, and loves a good story and a well-played baseball game. I will miss Joe Biden as our president, and I’m thankful that he had the wisdom and courage to step aside for another presidential nominee.

My father is an avid surfer who introduced me to the sport at a young age, and the freedom he felt in the ocean had a big impact on me. He faced challenges pursuing the sport, since it was historically reserved for white South Africans and beaches were segregated until 1989. Despite the obstacles he faced, my father never lost his love for the ocean and its power to heal. In 2018 I became the first Black South African surfer to qualify for the World Surf League Championship Tour, an elite professional competition. My parents being so proud of who they are makes me feel proud, too, and I work to continue that legacy.

“I cried for my area, my house, and everything around me,” Al-Hasanat told CNN in June. Several Palestinians told CNN they could take only their most significant personal items on long and hazardous journeys of displacement. Israeli strikes destroyed several of the university’s buildings in the early days of the war, Palestinian news agency WAFA reported. Students told CNN days spent on campus have been replaced by repeated displacement and bloodshed.

The area under the Brooklyn Bridge in Lower Manhattan is a forbidding swath of rubble and construction equipment, cut off from the sky by six lanes of clattering bridge traffic. To most of the world, it communicates a single message: keep out. To Rosa Chang, it conveyed something different: New York City’s next great park. She wore a bright red dress and high-wedge sneakers and the beatific smile of a true believer. “I see children playing, I see trees, I see old people sitting down talking to each other.

The moment the good news came over the radio was “exhilarating,” Wolfe County Search and Rescue Chief John May told CNN. The search began on July 16, when Hern’s family realized where he had gone and contacted the search group, May told CNN. That night, a team searched for Hern until after midnight, but they couldn’t find him, the Wolfe County rescue group posted on Facebook.

Sitting in a KFC restaurant in the former coal-mining town of Pomeroy, Ohio, a few hours before JD Vance addressed the Republican National Convention, Curtis Ramsey, 18, recalled the first time he heard the Ohio senator’s name. It was last month, he said, in the Washington office of another Ohio Republican, Representative Jim Jordan. Mr. Ramsey, who had never been to a big city or flown on an airplane before, was in the capital with two filmmakers seeking to draw attention to a new documentary, “Inheritance.” The film features Mr. Ramsey and examines the plight of drug-ravaged Appalachian communities like his own. When the filmmakers, Matt Moyer and his wife, Amy Toensing, explained to Mr. Jordan what their documentary was about, the congressman broke into a smile. “Sounds like the story of the next vice president of the United States!” Mr. Jordan said.

Cole is an example of what retirement can look like with a good savings plan and a variety of government assistance programs. Her prior government role left her with a hefty retirement benefit; she still gets healthcare. She's taken advantage of a few water aerobics classes in DC and was swimming up at a pool near Capitol Hill. "The last season," what she calls the "senior season" of life, is the best, Cole said. "I know people think they're in a good season now, but live long enough to get that Medicaid card," she said, adding: "I don't have nobody to tell me what to do.

Read previewPresident Joe Biden's ditched election bid has gone viral in China, where online consensus is veering toward former President Donald Trump's campaign rhetoric. AdvertisementVice President Kamala Harris met briefly with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in 2022 at her request during the APEC forum that year. As for Trump, the former president is often the subject of memes in China, mocking him as a secret agent for Beijing. Montages of Harris laughing on camera have also surfaced in China, though most are not derogatory. Most July polls put either Democratic leader behind Trump, though typically by a slim disadvantage of one to five percentage points.

A few weeks ago, my adult son called to say, "Getting arrested was the best thing that ever happened to me!" In 2014, the night before a college sporting scholarship meeting, I learned my son was arrested for possession of marijuana. Thankfully, he could finish his probation in Florida, where he moved in with his father's family and completed electrician trade school. While he barely attended high school and had a very low GPA, he was a straight-A student in trade school. When he returned to Des Moines after trade school, he continued his sales journey at Best Buy.

On a sunny summer day two years ago, Mark Murphy hosted one of the most unusual events in corporate America: the Green Bay Packers’ annual meeting. He speaks bluntly, eschews jargon and disarms critics with a dry sense of humor. He said the Packers would play the most games in prime time of any team, a sign of their success and popularity. Next year, he will hit the Packers’ mandatory chief executive retirement age of 70 and must step down. Ed Policy, the team’s chief operating officer and general counsel, was chosen last month as his successor and will take over next July.

Oh, that lawsuit Nirvana filed against the fashion line Marc Jacobs for using its smiley face logo without permission? After more than a half-decade of litigation, the sides have agreed to settle. The corporate entity representing Nirvana sued Marc Jacobs International in 2018 after the fashion line announced it would release a “Bootleg Redux Grunge” collection of clothing that featured a smiley face logo the lawsuit called “virtually identical to Nirvana’s copyrighted image." Nirvana’s smiley face has an uneven head, X’s for eyes and a wavy smile with a tongue sticking out on the right side of its face. Marc Jacobs’s smiley face, which was part of both clothing designs and general marketing promotion for the collection, looks the same but swaps in an “M” and “J” for the X’s.

This past June would have been my husband Steve and my 48th wedding anniversary. I sometimes feel like I have a phantom husband; I sense Steve in the apartment, when I'm walking in the street, when I'm scared, when I can't find something, when I need a question answered, when I'm sad, and when I'm lonely. Our dog died before himOur dog, Cassie, was our chosen child, and she died shortly before my husband died. The mini-golden doodle puppies were born a week before my husband died, and he showed videos of them to the nurses. I'm taking each day as it comes with Romeo by my side.

“It’s very clear that Trump wants someone who can carry the movement on,” a person close to Trump told CNN said of the Vance selection. The two became close friends, a relationship that helped Vance earn Trump’s endorsement in a contested primary for an open Ohio Senate seat. As a senator, Vance quickly won over the thought leaders of Trump’s populist movement. Vance and Trump Jr. embraced on the convention stage Tuesday afternoon as they prepared for their moments in the spotlight. Challenges certainly remain for Vance to maintain his position as next in line to the throne in Trump’s party.

When you’re paid in tips, you’re never really sure if you’ll make rent. At a rally last month in Nevada, Donald Trump announced that, if elected, he would exempt tips from federal taxes. 6 is “Large tax cuts for workers, and no tax on tips!” Republicans in Congress are already working on a bill designed to do just that. Last week, they introduced “Tax Free Tips Act of 2024,” which would end federal income and employment taxes on tips. The other half, which earns less than 32,000, already don’t pay federal taxes on their income.

Doing a sum-of-the-parts analysis of Blackrock's ETF business would be a difficult endeavor, but certainly revenue, assets under management (AUM), and growth potential are important factors. So the iShares ETF revenue was about a third of Blackrock's revenue, and Warren said that segment is still growing. By any metric, Blackrock's ETF business just keeps getting more valuable. The entire ETF business is growingBlackrock's ETF business is a gold mine, but total AUM for the entire ETF business now a bit over $9 trillion, which means Blackrock and a few rivals control a staggering amount of ETF investment dollars. The search for new revenue is endlessThe ETF business is still raking in money, but there is tremendous fee pressure across the entire ETF universe, so the search for more revenue goes on.

Without rule of law, without a peacekeeping force, without humanitarian aid, Gaza will combust and descend into civil chaos. This route is used by both commercial and aid trucks, as well as convoys like the one I am in, transporting aid workers. Palestinians storm trucks loaded with humanitarian aid brought in through a new US-built pier in central Gaza on May 18. They are waiting to ambush aid trucks, but they smile and wave at our far less tempting UN-marked jeeps. A fear of “the war after the war.” Some believe it has started already.

Her teaching contract included a furnished one-bedroom apartment in Budapest, with a monthly stipend to help cover rent and utilities.
