Attorney General James fundraises for Democrats in Clayton
Aug. 1—CLAYTON — The state's top legal official, Attorney General Letitia A. James, paid the north country a visit this week for a fundraising event — netting the local Democratic party committee tens of thousands of dollars for local races. James had no public meetings scheduled during her evening visit, which revolved around a fundraiser at the Clayton Opera House with Congressman Daniel Goldman, D-N.Y., state Sen. Chris J. Ryan, D-Geddes, and Democratic NY-21 Congressional candidate Blake Gendebien. Clayton sits within the NY-24 district, but NY-21 covers the eastern portion of Jefferson County. The fundraiser was branded as a "Blue Wave" fundraiser, and benefited the Jefferson County Democratic Committee. Balcony seats were offered for $100 each, and table seats went for $300. A full table, seating eight people, went for $2,400. According to county Democratic committee chair Corey Decillis, the fundraiser netted about $30,000 for the committee. "That'll go to our local races, our town and village races that we have candidates running in," he said. He said it will also help the committee bank money to help recruit and finance parts of a campaign for a possible county legislature challenge in future elections — the Democrats have no candidates up for a legislature seat in Jefferson County this year. Decillis said Attorney General James came to this region in part because of her involvement in the Sackets Habor immigration case, where a family was taken by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in late March and was slated for removal from the country. Community blowback, which had its profile heightened by the fact that the Trump administration official responsible for immigration policy lives in Sackets Harbor part-time and is a Jefferson County native, was widely perceived by local residents as the reason the family was returned home within weeks. "It resonated with her (James)," Decillis said. "It was near and dear to her heart as well, and she did some behind the scenes stuff for them as well. I think that was what prompted her to come up here and help us raise money." Goldman, the Manhattan Representative, signed up to come as well after meeting Decillis at a fundraiser in Oneida County. After mentioning that James would attend, Decillis said that Goldman offered to come as well. "He's a great speaker, he commands the room," Decillis said. Solve the daily Crossword

PUMA and Al Hilal FC launch new 2025/26 season kits
PUMA Middle East is proud to announce Al Hilal FC's official 2025/26 home and away kits, celebrating a shared legacy of triumph, passion, and national pride. Designed with purpose and detail, the kits pay tribute to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's rich heritage and reflect the unmatched spirit of Al Hilal — the most successful football club in Asia and Saudi Arabia, with an incredible 70 trophies to its name. Drawing inspiration from Al Hilal's rich history and the Kingdom's diverse landscapes, each element of the kit reflects the club's enduring legacy and deep connection with its loyal fanbase, affectionately known as the Blue Wave. From subtle design cues to bold visual statements, the kits embody the values of pride, perseverance, and excellence that define Al Hilal. The home kit draws from the heart of the Najd region, inspired by traditional mud-brick houses, a nod to the club's humble beginnings in a small, overlooked part of Riyadh, rising to become a national icon and continental powerhouse. The away kit captures the poetic journey of the moon, symbolizing Al Hilal's ever-evolving path. This celestial theme not only reflects the club's name — Al Hilal, meaning The Crescent but also beautifully aligns with our brand's vision through the power of storytelling in design. This launch follows the tremendous success of the Kid Super X Al Hilal kit, which became one of the top-selling items in PUMA stores globally. The new kits continue to represent the spirit of Saudi Arabia on the world stage. 'As Asian leaders, we're proud to grow globally while staying true to our roots. Our partnership with Al Hilal FC allows us to tell authentic Saudi stories through design, championing sport and culture on the world stage,' - Juhan Kuhlo, General Manager of PUMA Middle East We are very proud to continue working with PUMA to create pieces that allow us to share our history and legacy on a global scale. Our recent tournament was a clear example where, beyond the sporting results, we were able to represent our country through jerseys that became an unprecedented success. We hope that this new collection will receive a warm welcome from our amazing fan base– Esteve Calzada, CEO at Al Hilal FC The 25/26 Al Hilal FC home and away kits will be available at PUMA stores, on at official Al Hilal stores, Blu Store, and select retail partners across the region.

A Vision of Compassionate Leadership: 'I Dream of Kamelot' Reimagines What True Leadership Looks Like
A Powerful Literary Tribute to Madame Vice President Kamala Harris Portrays Her as a Beacon of Compassionate Leadership in 'I Dream of Kamelot'. Available now on Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and Kindle 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.

Real Madrid and Al Hilal players adjust to their new coaches in the Club World Cup
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — New managers went head to head in the Club World Cup's Group H clash between Real Madrid and Al Hilal on Wednesday. There was no separation between two, which ended in a 1-1 draw that included a 90-plus minute penalty save by Al Hilal goalkeeper Yassine Bonou to secure the tie. Xabi Alonso took over for Los Blancos just this month, as Simone Inzaghi did for the Blue Wave of the Saudi side. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Alonso arrived from Bayern Leverkusen after winning the German Bundesliga last season, and Inzaghi from Inter Milan after badly losing the Champions League final. Alonso was denied a victory for his first game in charge, an unwelcome sight for many Madrid supporters. Players who competed under previous coach Carlo Ancelotti explained what the changes are now that the former Real Madrid player is in charge. 'He wants us to play, he has a different way for us to defend, a different way for us to attack,' goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois said. For Al Hilal, many foreign players who now play for the club have experience at top teams and stages of tournaments, like Manchester City and World Cup semifinals. Inzaghi has made a big step after guiding Inter Milan to two Champions League finals, now stepping out of his comfort zone. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW 'Simone is a joyful fellow and that is good for the group, but so is (Jorge) Jesus, who I thank for bringing me to Al Hilal,' right back João Cancelo said, referencing his current and former manager. Both teams will look to care of business and continue to have better performances under new leadership. ___ AP soccer:
