‘Democrat Voters Against Joe Biden’ Group Has Trump Fanatics, a Psychic, but No Actual Dems
A new advocacy group ostensibly comprised of Democrats opposed to the election of Joe Biden appears to have the backing of few, if any, actual Democrats. Those involved, however, do include a Republican operative whose group illicitly funneled millions into political contests, a longtime Trump fan whose son works for the president’s campaign, and a self-described celebrity psychic who’s taught best practices for exorcisms.

Miami Herald Editor Apologizes for ‘Racist and Anti-Semitic’ Insert – The New York Times
Libre’s publisher is Demetrio Perez Jr., a former member of the Miami-Dade school board. In 2001, The Sun Sentinel reported that he had been sentenced to six months house arrest and given 18 months probation after he was indicted on charges that he defrauded the federal housing program. A personal website for Mr. Perez Jr. identifies him as a Cuban-American educator and activist based in Miami. A New York Times search of earlier issues of Libre found a number of false, racist, sexist, anti-Semitic and homophobic statements in columns by Mr. Luque-Escalona.

Ukrainian authorities on Wednesday accused their Belarusian counterparts of giving the pilgrims false hope. They had “believed rumors” about entering Ukraine despite strict coronavirus travel restrictions, according to Kyiv.
Tens of thousands of Hasidic Jews head to the central Ukrainian town of Uman every Jewish New Year — which is between September 18 to 20 this year — to visit the tomb of Rabbi Nachman, the founder of Breslov Hasidism.
Ukraine has banned foreigners from entering until late September because of a spike in COVID-19 cases.
The believers ignored warnings from the Ukrainian and Israeli governments and attempted to bypass the restrictions by traveling via Belarus.
