A Vision of Compassionate Leadership: 'I Dream of Kamelot' Reimagines What True Leadership Looks Like
Author Julius Walker unveils a bold and timely literary work, I Dream of Kamelot, a thought-provoking homage to Madame Vice President Kamala Harris, portraying her not just as a political leader, but as a symbol of a new era - a figure of hope, compassion, and justice.
Now available in hardcover, paperback, and eBook formats on Barnes & Noble and Amazon/Kindle, I Dream of Kamelot stands at the intersection of political reflection and poetic aspiration. The book introduces readers to the concept of 'Kamelot' - a play on 'Camelot' - symbolizing a utopia led by empathy, fairness, and humanity. In this vision, Kamala Harris emerges not just as the first woman and woman of color to serve as Vice President, but as a transformative force: a Leader of Love, Compassion, and Understanding.
The book draws a sharp contrast between Harris and her political opposition, most notably former President Donald J. Trump. Where the latter is depicted as divisive, Walker presents Harris as the embodiment of the Blue Wave - progressive, inclusive, and deeply committed to the ideals enshrined in the American Constitution: liberty, equality, and justice for all.
'In a world riddled with darkness, Kamala Harris shines like a bright star on a very dark night,' says Walker. 'She represents a beacon of hope not only for America, but for humanity at large.'
I Dream of Kamelot explores themes that transcend politics: human dignity, moral leadership, and the enduring power of empathy in governance. Rooted in the historical narrative of American idealism, the book aligns itself with pivotal moments in U.S. history - echoing the 18th-century values of the American Revolution, yet reimagining them for the 21st-century reader.
By drawing on Harris's personal and political journey, the book articulates a deep yearning for a new type of leader - one who leads not by fear or force, but by courage, integrity, and heart. With lyrical prose and persuasive insight, Julius Walker positions Kamala Harris as a cultural and political figurehead for a generation that longs for unity and purpose.
Whether you're a student of United States history, a political enthusiast, or someone searching for hope in turbulent times, I Dream of Kamelot promises to inspire.

Nvidia, AMD to pay 15% of China chip sale revenue to U.S. government
Nvidia and AMD agreed to share 15 per cent of their revenues from chip sales to China with the U.S. government, a U.S. government official said on Sunday, in an unusual move likely to faze American companies. U.S. President Donald Trump's administration halted the sale of advanced computer chips to China in April over national security concerns, but Nvidia and AMD revealed in July that Washington would allow them to resume sales of the H20 and MI308 chips, which are used in artificial intelligence development. The official, who insisted on anonymity to discuss a policy not yet formally announced, confirmed to The Associated Press the revenue sharing terms of the deal, and said the broad strokes of the initial report by The Financial Times were accurate. Nvidia and AMD reportedly agreed to the financial arrangement as a condition for obtaining export licences to resume sales to China. AMD said on Monday that the U.S. government had approved its licence applications to export its chips to China. Nvidia did not comment about the specific details of the agreement or its quid pro quo nature, but said it would adhere to the export rules laid out by the administration. "We follow rules the U.S. government sets for our participation in worldwide markets. While we haven't shipped H20 to China for months, we hope export control rules will let America compete in China and worldwide," Nvidia wrote in a statement. "America cannot repeat 5G and lose telecommunication leadership. America's AI tech stack can be the world's standard if we race." The top Democrat on a House panel focusing on competition with China raised concerns over the reported agreement, calling it "a dangerous misuse of export controls that undermines our national security." Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, the ranking member of the House Select Committee on China, said he would seek answers about the legal basis for this arrangement and demand full transparency from the administration. "Our export control regime must be based on genuine security considerations, not creative taxation schemes disguised as national security policy," he said. "Chip export controls aren't bargaining chips, and they're not casino chips either. We shouldn't be gambling with our national security to raise revenue." Lingering questions about national security In July, Nvidia argued that tight export controls around its chip sales would cost the company an extra $5.5 billion. It has argued that such limits hinder U.S. competition in a sector in one of the world's largest markets for technology, and has also warned that U.S. export controls could end up pushing other countries toward China's AI technology. The deal to pay the U.S. government from sales in China is unusual for a president, and marks Trump's latest intervention in corporate decision-making. Trump harangues company executives to invest in the United States to shore up domestic jobs and manufacturing. Last week, he demanded new Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan immediately resign, calling him "highly conflicted" due to his ties to Chinese firms. "It's wild," said Geoff Gertz, a senior fellow at Center for New American Security, an independent think-tank in Washington, D.C. "Either selling H20 chips to China is a national security risk, in which case we shouldn't be doing it to begin with, or it's not a national security risk, in which case, why are we putting this extra penalty on the sale?" Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told CNBC in July that the renewed sale of Nvidia's chips in China was linked to a trade agreement made between the two countries on rare earth magnets. Restrictions on sales of advanced chips to China have been central to the AI race between the world's two largest economic powers, but such controls are also controversial. Proponents argue that these restrictions are necessary to slow China down enough to allow U.S. companies to keep their lead. Meanwhile, opponents say the export controls have loopholes — and could still spur innovation. The emergence of China's DeepSeek AI chatbot in January particularly renewed concerns over how China might use advanced chips to help develop its own AI capabilities.

Trump says he's placing Washington police under federal control and deploying the National Guard
U.S. President Donald Trump speaks with reporters in the James Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House, Monday, Aug. 11, 2025, in Washington. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon) WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump is promising new steps to tackle homelessness and crime in Washington including deployment of the National Guard, prompting the city's mayor to voice legal concerns about who would be patrolling the streets in the nation's capital. Trump said at a Monday news briefing that he was 'deploying the National Guard to help reestablish law order and public safety in Washington, D.C., and they're going to be allowed to do their job properly.' The Republican president compared crime in the American capital with that in other major cities, saying Washington performs poorly on safety relative to the capitals of Iraq, Brazil and Colombia, among others. 'We're getting rid of the slums, too,' Trump said, adding that the U.S. would not lose its cities and that Washington was just a start. For Trump, the effort to take over public safety in Washington reflects a next step in his law enforcement agenda after his aggressive push to stop illegal border crossings. But the move involves at least 500 federal law enforcement officials as well as the National Guard, raising fundamental questions about how an increasingly emboldened federal government will interact with its state and local counterparts. Combating crime The president has used his social media and White House megaphones to message that his administration is tough on crime, yet his ability to shape policy might be limited outside of Washington, which has a unique status as a congressionally established federal district. Nor is it clear how his push would address the root causes of homelessness and crime. Trump said he is invoking Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act to deploy members of the National Guard. About 500 federal law enforcement officers are being tasked with deploying throughout the nation's capital as part of the Trump administration's effort to combat crime, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Monday. More than 100 FBI agents and about 40 agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are among federal law enforcement personnel being assigned to patrols in Washington, the person briefed on the plans said. The Drug Enforcement Administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Marshals Service are also contributing officers. The person was not authorized to publicly discuss personnel matters and spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity. The Justice Department didn't immediately have a comment Monday morning. Focusing on homelessness Trump in a Sunday social media post had emphasized the removal of Washington's homeless population, though it was unclear where the thousands of people would go. 'The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY,' Trump wrote Sunday. 'We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital. The Criminals, you don't have to move out. We're going to put you in jail where you belong.' Last week, the Republican president directed federal law enforcement agencies to increase their presence in Washington for seven days, with the option 'to extend as needed.' On Friday night, federal agencies including the Secret Service, the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service assigned more than 120 officers and agents to assist in Washington. Trump said last week that he was considering ways for the federal government to seize control of Washington, asserting that crime was 'ridiculous' and the city was 'unsafe,' after the recent assault of a high-profile member of the Department of Government Efficiency. The National Guard Mayor Muriel Bowser, a Democrat, questioned the effectiveness of using the Guard to enforce city laws and said the federal government could be far more helpful by funding more prosecutors or filling the 15 vacancies on the D.C. Superior Court, some of which have been open for years. Bowser cannot activate the National Guard herself, but she can submit a request to the Pentagon. 'I just think that's not the most efficient use of our Guard,' she said Sunday on MSNBC's 'The Weekend,' acknowledging it is 'the president's call about how to deploy the Guard.' Bowser was making her first public comments since Trump started posting about crime in Washington last week. She noted that violent crime in Washington has decreased since a rise in 2023. Trump's weekend posts depicted the district as 'one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the World.' For Bowser, 'Any comparison to a war-torn country is hyperbolic and false.' Crime statistics Police statistics show homicides, robberies and burglaries are down this year when compared with this time in 2024. Overall, violent crime is down 26% compared with this time a year ago. Trump offered no details in Truth Social posts over the weekend about possible new actions to address crime levels he argues are dangerous for citizens, tourists and workers alike. The White House declined to offer additional details about Monday's announcement. The police department and the mayor's office did not respond to questions about what Trump might do next. The president criticized the district as full of 'tents, squalor, filth, and Crime,' and he seems to have been set off by the attack on Edward Coristine, among the most visible figures of the bureaucracy-cutting effort known as DOGE. Police arrested two 15-year-olds in the attempted carjacking and said they were looking for others. 'This has to be the best run place in the country, not the worst run place in the country,' Trump said Wednesday. He called Bowser 'a good person who has tried, but she has been given many chances.' Trump has repeatedly suggested that the rule of Washington could be returned to federal authorities. Doing so would require a repeal of the Home Rule Act of 1973 in Congress, a step Trump said lawyers are examining. It could face steep pushback. Bowser acknowledged that the law allows the president to take more control over the city's police, but only if certain conditions are met. 'None of those conditions exist in our city right now,' she said. 'We are not experiencing a spike in crime. In fact, we're watching our crime numbers go down.' Associated Press writers Ashraf Khalil, Alanna Durkin Richer and Michelle L. Price contributed to this report.
