Australian media slams Kamala Harris for taking 'half a million dollars' to say 'I am unemployed right now' at real estate event
Australian media wonders why Kamala Harris went there while she never visited the country as a vice president. Sky News Australia tore into former vice president Kamala Harris for being the chief speaker at a real estate event in Gold Coast, where she was reported paid half a million dollars to "essentially chuckle on stage and make jokes about being unemployed". The former vice president was in Australia Sunday to speak at the Australian Real Estate Conference, where she sat on stage with real estate industry veteran John McGrath and spoke about her mother, Playboy Magazine covers, hormones and being unemployed right now. Sky News Digital Presenter Gabriella Power called Kamala Harris a comedian as she asked comedian and commentator Alex Stein to comment on Harris's Australia outing. 'She can't do any worse than spending $1 billion on her presidential campaign and somehow ending up $100 million in debt,' Stein said, adding that he double-checked whether Kamala Harris ever visited Australia when she was the vice president and the answer is no. "I wonder why she's there now. I know why she's there now. She is there for the money," Stein said. 'Kamala Harris is not having very good job prospects, or many offers here in America that are that great, so what is she going to do? She's going to go to Australia," Stein said. What Kamala Harris said at the real estate event "My mother was actually very funny because she would say, 'You look at the cover of Playboy magazine, let me just tell you, the reason that people are looking at these things, understand what they were developed for the perpetuation of the human species!' She was very practical that way," Kamala Harris said and began laughing. "I don't aspire to be humble. And I don't recommend it, I think that one must be humble. But to aspire to be humble would be quite inauthentic," she said on humility. "If one understands that, just, I mean, there's so much that is magnificent and awe-inspiring about this world and its people." When the moderator said he believed that Kamala Harris's best work is ahead of her, for sure, Harris said, "I am unemployed right now. Go on, let's speak truth."

CBS Chicago Vault: Bob Wallace races at the old Maywood Park and dances to traditional tamburitza music
On this day 42 years ago, Chicago was getting ready for the inauguration of Mayor Harold Washington in two days. On this day 41 years ago, the headlines included a deadly and horrific tornado outbreak that plowed through Wisconsin. In Chicago local headlines that day, as our file tapes show, the city announced that southbound traffic on Lake Shore Drive would be detoured through Streeterville amid reconstruction to eliminate a redesign of the treacherous Z-patterned curve at the north end of downtown, and Playboy Magazine came to the Orrington Hotel in Evanston to audition students from Northwestern University — something with which some in the university community were not pleased. And on both of those days, the late Bob Wallace had some interesting assignments for Channel 2 News. On April 27, 1983, Wallace was preparing to take part in the media race at Maywood Park, the long-gone harness racing track that stood for many years in west suburban Melrose Park. It was not the first time Wallace had participated in the race, but it had recently been expanded from a one-off event to four races and a final, and the local media participants had to train with a professional first. Wallace took viewers along as he trained in the jogging cart with veteran horse driver Jim Curran. A year later to the day on April 27, 1984, Wallace headed to the Southeast Side to join some young people from the Croatian Fraternal Union practiced tamburitza music. Balkan tamburitza music is played on acoustic stringed instruments and can serve as accompaniment to a folk dance called a kolo. Wallace himself took part in a kolo at the tamburitza practice — with microphone in hand the whole time. The young women in dance circle with him. Tamburitza concerts can be heard regularly around the Chicago aera. For one such event, the Sloboda Junior Tamburitzans will and the Croatian Junior Tamburitzans will be performing at 5 p.m. Saturday, May 10, at the Slovenian Catholic Center in Lemont.

Kourtney Kardashian Barker joins protest against wildfire debris plan in Calabasas
Kourtney Kardashian Barker joined protesters on Thursday, who continued to express their opposition to a plan that brings thousands of tons of ash and debris from the recent wildfires to the Calabasas Landfill in Agoura Hills. The plan involves bringing up to 5,000 tons of debris from the recent wildfires, including the Palisades Fire, to the landfill each day. Ash can contain lead, other heavy metals, and various toxic compounds, and scientists say any amount of lead exposure is potentially dangerous. Neighbors protest plan to put wildfire debris in Calabasas Landfill Since Feb. 15, protesters have been at the landfill site demanding change. The Poosh founder wasn't the only public figure in attendance. Kendra Wilkinson, the ex-girlfriend of Hugh Hefner, the founder of Playboy Magazine, shared moments from the protest on her Instagram. 'Stop the toxic waste dumping around our schools and residential areas!!!' the Instagram post caption said. The Calabasas City Council recently wrote a letter to the L.A. County Board of Supervisors opposing the plan. 'The City Council is compelled to echo the public sentiment that the urgency of the recovery phase and efforts to remediate one disaster is laying the foundation for future public health and environmental catastrophes that will affect Calabasas residents,' city leaders wrote. Despite vocal opposition, the Board of Supervisors recently agreed to temporarily remove dumping restrictions at the Calabasas Landfill, allowing it also to accept fire debris, according to the Los Angeles Times. The landfill is typically restricted to waste only from Calabasas, Hidden Hills, Agoura Hills, Malibu, Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks, some parts of Los Angeles and select incorporated areas. The board's vote will allow the landfill to accept material from outside that area for six months, with possible extensions. County leaders have said they understood the public's concern but noted that landfills face strict regulations about handling fire waste, and there was little chance of toxic waste escaping into the air.
