Trump thanks RFK Jr. for endorsement
Former President Trump thanks Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for his endorsement Friday during a campaign event in Las Vegas. RFK Jr. announced his support for Trump after suspending his Independent presidential bid moments earlier in Glendale, Arizona.
Former President Trump on Friday, while speaking at a restaurant in Las Vegas, thanked Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for his endorsement minutes after the third-party candidate said he was suspending his campaign because he didn’t want to “be a spoiler.”
“We just had a very nice endorsement from RFK Jr, Bobby,” Trump said at Il Toro E La Capra eatery just off the Vegas Strip, where he addressed restaurant workers and other supporters.
The Republican presidential nominee said that he would be speaking more about RFK Jr.’s endorsement at a rally in Glendale, Arizona, on Friday evening, the same venue where Vice President Harris held a large rally earlier this month, and where Trump teased a “surprise guest.”
He continued, “But I just want to thank everybody, and I want to thank Bobby. That was very nice. That was really, that’s big. He’s a great guy, respected by everybody.”
ROBERT F KENNEDY JR. SUSPENDS CAMPAIGN, BACKS TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT

RFK Jr. endorsed Trump just minutes before the former president began speaking in Las Vegas, saying during a scheduled press conference in Glendale that he planned to stay off the ballot in red and blue states, so people could vote for him there, but remove his name from battleground states.
“Three causes drove me to enter this race in the first place. And these are the principal causes that persuaded me to leave the Democratic Party and run as an independent and now to throw my support at President Trump,” RFK Jr. said. “The causes were free speech, war in Ukraine and the war on our children.”
RFK Jr. said that the Democratic National Committee “waged continued legal war” on both Trump and himself, while also accusing the DNC of running a “sham primary” that prevented a serious primary challenge to President Biden before he secured the Democratic nomination, then dropped out in July, endorsing Harris.
WILL ROBERT F KENNEDY’S LIKELY EXIT FROM 2024 RACE BOOT TRUMP OVER HARRIS?
Harris’ campaign reached out to RFK Jr. supporters in a statement to Fox News on Friday.
“For any American out there who is tired of Donald Trump and looking for a new way forward, ours is a campaign for you. In order to deliver for working people and those who feel left behind, we need a leader who will fight for you, not just for themselves, and bring us together, not tear us apart. Vice President Harris wants to earn your support. Even if we do not agree on every issue, Kamala Harris knows there is more that unites us than divides us: respect for our rights, public safety, protecting our freedoms, and opportunity for all.”
DNC senior advisor Mary Beth Cahill said “good riddance.”
“The more voters learned about RFK Jr. the less they liked him. Donald Trump isn’t earning an endorsement that’s going to help build support, he’s inheriting the baggage of a failed fringe candidate. Good riddance,” she said.

Inside a young San Francisco architect's dream Mission apartment

The home’s showstopper is the street-facing double parlor that holds the living and dining rooms. A deep, molten red covers the walls just past halfway. A second hue takes your eyes up to the 11-foot ceilings. In the dining room, it’s a smoky navy, while the sitting room gets a brighter off-white. A custom daybed in the deep bay window is where you’re most likely to find Sheth, cuddled with his dog, Gilligan, a custom ashtray-cum-cupholder perched alongside.
Taking pride of place on a coffee table is a striking and slightly sinister-looking vase filled with serpentine lotus pods, articulated carved-wood snakes forming the vessel’s ribs. Sheth’s art collection isn’t of the sort that fades into the background or complements the rug.
Tracing back to his days at CCA, he is part of an ever-expanding hive of local artists, and in addition to collecting for himself and clients, he recently started curating buzzy, nontraditional art shows in San Francisco and L.A. The snake vase, “Heads and Tails” by Caleb Ferris, was part of Sheth’s latest group show, “Vessel.” It featured 27 artists with Bay Area roots and will be revived through September, when a selection of the pieces are exhibited in small businesses and galleries around the Bay, including The Sidewalk Flowers in Cole Valley, the concept shop Strip Mall in Lower Nob Hill, LNB Atelier in China Basin, and Verso, a studio warehouse in West Oakland.

Pair of Seattle Mariners Stars Comment on the Firing of Manager Scott Servais

Seattle Mariners stars and team leaders J.P. Crawford and Julio Rodriguez spoke on Friday about the team’s decision to fire longtime manager Scott Servais after eight-plus years.
From Crawford’s perspective, per Curtis Crabtree of FOX 13 Seattle:
J.P. Crawford on Scott Servais: “It was tough. He’s been my manager ever since my first day here and he challenged me to be the best person I could be. Sad to see him go.”

Under Servais, Crawford reached great heights, so it’s understandable why he has such an affinity for him. After being acquired in a trade with the Philadelphia Phillies, Crawford won a Gold Glove Award in 2020. He also helped the Mariners get back to the playoffs in 2022, having a crucial hit in an AL Wild Card Series win over the Toronto Blue Jays.
Furthermore, Crawford earned a five-year contract worth $51 million under Servais’s helm. He’s under contract through 2026.
As for Rodriguez, Servais is the only big-league manager he’s ever played for (until Friday night).
As for Rodriguez, the following comes fron Daniel Kramer of MLB.com:
Julio Rodríguez on the Mariners’ managerial change:
“I’m just focused on playing baseball. Those decisions are outside the players. That’s obviously higher up. We’re employees here, just like everybody is, so we’ve just got to show up and play baseball.”

Rodriguez was back in center field on Friday night for the first time since injuring his ankle on July 21. He went 0-for-3 at the plate with two walks and made an outstanding catch in the top of the tenth inning to keep the game tied. The Mariners eventually won it 6-5 in the bottom half.
They’ll play the Giants again on Saturday at 1:10 p.m. PT.
