Window Rock, Arizona AP —John Kinsel Sr., one of the last remaining Navajo Code Talkers who transmitted messages during World War II based on the tribe’s native language, has died. With Kinsel’s death, only two Navajo Code Talkers are still alive: Former Navajo Chairman Peter MacDonald and Thomas H. Begay. Hundreds of Navajos were recruited by the Marines to serve as Code Talkers during the war, transmitting messages based on their then-unwritten native language. The Code Talkers sent thousands of messages without error on Japanese troop movements, battlefield tactics and other communications crucial to the war’s ultimate outcome. President Ronald Reagan established Navajo Code Talkers Day in 1982 and the August 14 holiday honors all the tribes associated with the war effort.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is launching a blitz in Arizona this week, with plans to swamp the battleground state with events and canvassing efforts, all timed around the start of early voting. “All of that, to me, is the type of activity that’s required to win a close race. Campaign officials also say to expect Harris to time events around early voting in many of the battleground states. Those polls also show Democratic Senate candidate Ruben Gallego outperforming Harris in his race against Republican Kari Lake. We know it’s gonna be a close race.

As a result, political observers say, public school funding is effectively on the ballot Tuesday. “These groups have been demonizing what is being taught in public schools, and that’s the fastest way to erode faith that public schools work,” Rottinghaus said. (Abbott publicly came out in support of private school vouchers two months after winning the primary with 66.5% of the vote.) Greg Abbott in the GOP primary, campaigned in support of private school vouchers. “I will never support vouchers.”Rep. John Bucy III said he will continue to oppose private school vouchers.

Într-un document judiciar al procurorilor federali din statul Arizona apare informația că atacatorii, cel puțin o parte dintre ei, au urmărit să captureze și să asasineze oficiali aleși. Procurorul general de district din Washington DC a contrazis, însă, această informație, scrie Digi24. „Transmitem informațiile pe care le avem tuturor partenerilor noștri pentru ca ei să poată acționa adecvat în găsirea responsabililor. După cum am spus, căutăm indivizi care ar putea să se gândească la repetarea unor violențe de tipul celor pe care le-am văzut săptămâna trecută. Am identificat peste 200 de suspecți, deci știm cine sunteți, iar agenții FBI vor veni să vă caute”, a spus Christopher Wray, directorul FBI.
