RFK Jr. could drop out of presidential race, endorse Trump this Friday, reports suggest

The Independent candidate might be considering an alliance with the Republican candidate to stop the Democrats.

Unconfirmed reports suggest Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will drop out of the race and endorse Donald Trump this week.

Kennedy press secretary Stefanie Spear announced on social media that he will be making a major announcement on Friday in Phoenix, Arizona on the state of his campaign.

 

ABC News is claiming that Kennedy will withdraw from the race.

The probability that Kennedy will endorse Trump seems likely given that his running mate, Nicole Shanahan, an attorney and tech executive who was previously married to Google co-founder Sergey Brin, has publicly spoken about the possibility on multiple occasions in recent days.

During an appearance on the Impact Theory podcast Tuesday, Shanahan said their campaign faces two options. One is to stay in the race and “run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Walz presidency because we draw votes from Trump” or “we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump.”

 

Shanahan also appeared on Fox News, where she blamed Democrats for placing hurdles in the way of their bid for the White House.

“I have to say there’s only one party that has obstructed a fair election for us. And, unfortunately, it was the Democratic Party. They’ve done everything they can, including creating PACs, to prevent us from being able to have ballot access,” she said.

 

One of the PACs Shanahan singled out on her X account is Clear Choice PAC, which she claimed is funded by Democratic mega donors Ron Conway and Reid Hoffman.

Audio showed Trump talking to Kennedy about the dangers of giving children too many vaccines. He also said he would “love” for Kennedy to “do something” with Trump’s campaign.

Trump also praised Kennedy during an impromptu interview with CNN this week while campaigning in Michigan.

“I would love that endorsement because I’ve always liked him … I respect him a lot,” Trump said. “I probably would (make him part of my administration) if something like that would happen.”

Last week, The Washington Post and The New York Times reported that Kennedy wanted to set up a meeting with Harris to discuss a potential Cabinet role in exchange for his endorsement. Kennedy has denied those claims, saying in an X post that Harris’ team is “riddled with neocon warmongers” and that her Democratic Party is “the Party of Big Tech, Big Pharma and Wall Street.”

Kennedy has been endorsed by podcaster Joe Rogan, NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and Catholic actor Rob Schneider, among others. A self-described “pro-choice” Catholic, Kennedy has said that he supports “restrictions on abortion” but only in “the final months of pregnancy.”

Wales Becomes First UK Testbed for Citywide AI-Powered Facial Recognition Surveillance

Published on February 23, 2025

Wales is that part of the UK the authorities have picked as the testbed for the first citywide deployment of what some consider to currently be the most radical form of mass biometric surveillance in public places – “AI”-powered live facial recognition.
What is likely to be the reason behind the “trial,” privacy campaigners are warning, is the eventual permanent deployment of this type of biometric surveillance throughout the country.
South Wales Police said that Cardiff will be covered by a network of CCTV cameras with facial recognition tech embedded in them, while the excuse is providing security during the international Six Nations rugby event. But the police also characterized the move as “semi-permanent.”
This appears to be a distinction between what the police in the UK have used thus far to carry out surveillance based on live facial recognition: vans with one camera.
The decision to move to position a host of cameras in the central zone of Cardiff makes this a significant expansion of the technique.
And while the police are reassuring citizens that expanding live facial recognition “really enhances” law enforcement’s ability to do their job –  the Big Brother Watch privacy group slammed the move as a “shocking” development and the creation of an “Orwellian biometric surveillance zone.”
And while capturing everyone’s biometric data, and in that way, according to Big Brother Watch’s Senior Advocacy Officer Madeleine Stone, turning Brits into “walking barcodes” and “a nation of suspects” – in terms of solving crime, this is proving to be a waste of public money.
“This network of facial recognition cameras will make it impossible for Cardiff residents and visitors to opt out of a biometric police identity check,” Stone underlined.
And yet, over the three years that live facial recognition has been in use at sporting venues (only) – the use of the technology has not led to any arrests.
“No other democracy in the world spies on its population with live facial recognition in this cavalier and chilling way,” Stone warned, adding, “South Wales Police must immediately stop this dystopian trial.”
The technology works by capturing the faces of every person passing through an area covered, in real time, to then compare them to a database of those described in reports as “wanted criminals.”
However, when South Wales Police spoke about who is on their “watchlist,” it also included people “banned from the area” and those “who pose a risk to the public.”

Hamas, Palestinians paraded dead babies coffins through streets before handover to Israel

Quick Hit:

Hamas paraded the caskets of Israeli hostages, including what they claimed were the bodies of a mother and two young children, through the streets of Gaza before handing them over to the Red Cross. Videos show crowds cheering as armed terrorists carried the coffins as part of a prisoner exchange with Israel.

Key Details:

  • Videos from Khan Younis, Gaza, show Hamas and other terrorists parading four caskets, including those of two young children, before handing them to the Red Cross.
  • Crowds cheered as the terrorists, armed and unmasked, carried the coffins, with celebratory music playing in the background.
  • The deceased were identified as members of the Bibas family, including the youngest hostages from the October 7 attack.

 

Diving Deeper:

During a ceremony in Khan Younis, Gaza, Hamas paraded the caskets of Israeli hostages through the streets, including what they claimed were the bodies of a mother and her two small children. The display occurred before the remains were handed over to the Red Cross as part of a prisoner exchange agreement with Israel. Crowds of Gazans were seen cheering and celebrating as the coffins were carried by armed terrorists.

Videos from the event show masked militants loading a casket into a Red Cross aid truck, while another militant, adorned with symbols of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, filmed the procession. Another video shows adults and children waving and celebrating as Hamas fighters, armed and in trucks, paraded through the streets. Reuters footage also captured members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PLFP) helping carry a casket, highlighting the involvement of multiple terrorist factions in the display.

Hamas presented the bodies as those of the Bibas family, who were captured during the October 7 attack. The children, aged four years and less than one year, were among the youngest hostages taken during the brutal assault that triggered the ongoing 15-month conflict. The fourth body was identified as 83-year-old Oded Lifshitz, according to Jewish News Syndicate. Hamas has repeatedly blamed the deaths on Israeli airstrikes, though no evidence was provided to support the claim.

Israel and Hamas are currently observing a temporary ceasefire agreement, facilitating the exchange of civilian hostages for Palestinian prisoners. Despite the ceasefire, Hamas has continued to celebrate the October 7 attacks, which resulted in the largest mass killing of Jewish people since the Holocaust. During the ceremony, a stage displayed a poster depicting Israel as a “Nazi Army,” underscoring Hamas’s longstanding agenda of hostility towards the Jewish state.

The shocking parade of caskets, accompanied by celebratory music and cheering crowds, has drawn international condemnation and further underscored the brutal nature of Hamas’s actions. As the exchange process continues, the emotional toll on the families of the victims remains immeasurable.
