Quick Glance: Proof Harry, Meghan 'can't be trusted'
  • Prince William and Kate Middleton are said to have kept Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in the dark about her cancer diagnosis because the duo 'can’t be trusted'.

  • New reports suggest the former working royals were not informed in advance of the Princess of Wales’ cancer battle as too much betrayal and subsequent broken trust has transpired over the last few years.

  • There’s a deep rift between the brothers, and it is strongly believed that William has not trusted Harry and Meghan with good reason, especially after their problematic behavior towards the royal family.

  • According to The Times, Harry and Meghan even found out about Kate’s cancer at the same time as the rest of the world while watching television. It’s believed they were blindsided with the news when Kate revealed her illness in an emotional video shared on Saturday morning.

Quick Glance: Harris' Journey to a Clear Stance on Marijuana
  • The evolution of Vice President Kamala Harris' views on marijuana, from prosecution to legalization, raises questions that she should explain to voters. Vice President Kamala Harris' support for cannabis law reform at the White House on Friday will certainly be scrutinized by skeptical Californians who can still remember her time as an anti-weed district attorney.

  • Now, Harris has the opportunity to move beyond her journey on marijuana and tell voters how and why she has changed regarding cannabis. This explanation could also enhance her reputation with young voters and people of color who are not enthusiastic about supporting the Biden-Harris ticket.

  • It is crucial for Harris and Biden to elucidate their position changes to counter critics who may argue they are acting out of political expediency. Harris' cannabis history is intricate and often contradictory. She has evolved since her tenure as San Francisco District Attorney in 2003, when only 34% of Americans supported legalization.

  • Biden has endeavored more than any other president to modify cannabis laws since taking office. He mandated an administrative review to reclassify cannabis from the Schedule 1 category of controlled substances. While Biden and Harris are making progress on cannabis reform, Congress lags behind. Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer promised to put a cannabis reform bill on the Senate floor three years ago, which has yet to happen.
