President Biden assigns Vice President Harris to lead the effort to ‘stem migration flow’ from border

tmp0e6f3a5d-5a90-4ddd-9eef-ceb2bae492ff-jpg

On Wednesday, President Joe Biden said he was assigning Vice President Kamala Harris to lead his administration’s effort to stem migration from Central America, calling her “the most qualified person to do it.”  Biden said Harris would “lead our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle” — El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala — which he said, “are going to need help in stemming the movement of so many folks — stemming the migration to our southern border” as the United States deals with a surge of unaccompanied minors crossing its southern border.

Senior administration officials said Wednesday that Harris will work along two tracks — “stemming the flow of irregular migrants to the U.S.” in the near term, and in the longer term, establishing a “strategic partnership” with Mexico and Northern Triangle countries “based on respect and shared values, to enhance prosperity, combat corruption and strengthen the rule of law.”

Harris said Wednesday “there’s no question that this is a challenging situation” and that she planned to engage with foreign leaders, civil society and the private sector. Harris added: “I also look forward to working with members of Congress who I think share our perspective on the need to address root causes for the migration that we’ve been seeing.”

The areas of the southern United States from Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas to Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky are bracing themselves for more potentially damaging and dangerous weather conditions into Thursday night.

A second and more powerful storm this week threatens to bring violent thunderstorms and flooding rain; the first storm of the week brought torrential rain and localized flooding from part of the upper Texas coast to Louisiana and part of Mississippi into Tuesday night.

Lower Mississippi and Tennessee valleys were hit with destructive severe weather and tornadoes last week, with 56 reports of tornadoes, 27 incidents of large hail and 79 episodes of damaging wind gusts.

Taylor Swift to release first ‘From the Vault’ song featuring vocals from Maren Morris

tmp43cab79f-d166-44c0-84d6-4b51439e5376-jpg

Taylor Swift announced Wednesday that she’ll be releasing the first new “Fearless” single ‘from the vault’ at midnight Thursday, titled “You All Over Me.”  Country singer Maren Morris, who joined Swift onstage in Dallas in October 2018 during her “Reputation” tour, will provide background vocals.

Swift tweeted: “One thing I’ve been loving about these From The Vault songs is that they’ve never been heard, so I can experiment, play, and even include some of my favorite artists.”

Swift announced last month that she had completely rerecorded “Fearless,” complete with six never-before-heard songs, during her ongoing battle with former manager Scooter Braun over her masters. Braun sold Swift’s master recordings to a private equity firm which allowed him to profit from album sales, music videos and artwork for the six albums, from her self-titled 2006 debut to the 2017 “Reputation.”
