Trump criticised Harris's record on immigration and the border, and also her shifting policy positions - Harris blamed him for "Trump abortion bans" and for the 6 January attacks on the US Capitol
 
Snap polls suggest Harris won the debate, but Trump says afterwards that she "lost very badly"
 
With the election taking place on 5 November, Harris is slightly ahead in national opinion polls - but polls are very tight in key battleground states
 
Shortly after the debate, Taylor Swift endorsed Harris on Instagram, calling her a ''gifted leader''

Carrie Underwood slated to perform at Trump’s inauguration

Country music star Carrie Underwood is slated to perform “America the Beautiful� at President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, according to a copy of the program obtained by CNN and confirmed by a spokesperson for the inaugural committee.
 
“I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event,� Underwood said in a statement to CNN. “I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.�
 
The presidential oath of office will be administered by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts with Justice Brett Kavanaugh expected to administer the oath of office to Vice President-elect JD Vance.
 
Trump’s inauguration as the 47th president of the United States will take place on January 20 at the US Capitol.
 
Underwood is a big get for Trump’s inauguration, considering Hollywood’s Trump blackout over the course of his political career.
 
In his first term and throughout the past three elections, Trump has struggled to garner support from major Hollywood stars. At the Republican National Convention last year, the two biggest stars onstage with Trump were musician Kid Rock and retired WWE wrestler Hulk Hogan – a far cry from a superstar at the height of their career, like Underwood.
 
The Grammy-winning artist is as high-profile as you can get in country music, not only with numerous platinum hits, but also with public-facing, mainstream business associations. Underwood is the face of Sunday Night Football and is set to make her debut this March as a judge on ABC’s “American Idol� – the singing competition show that catapulted her to fame when she won in 2005.
 
While many NFL fans will likely applaud Underwood for singing at the inauguration, any time a celebrity aligns themselves with Trump, they run the risk of alienating left-leaning fans and Hollywood allies.
 
Underwood has kept her politics under wraps over the course of her career. In her statement, she did not mention Trump by name and kept her focus on unifying the country – still, Underwood’s decision to publicly align with Trump is a big statement for any star, particularly one as private as the singer.
 
Historically, Hollywood has always been closely associated with the Democratic Party, but country stars have always been an outlier, leaning more conservative. In recent years, as new singers join the genre, country music has gotten to be more progressive. This past election cycle, country stars like Mickey Guyton and Maren Morris stood with Vice President Kamala Harris.

�ли�таров – уголовник и террори�т
 
�т уголовника-индивидуала до �луги криминалитета
 
Ранее �удимый по «наркотиче�кой» �татье блогер �ндрей �ли�таров позиционирует �еб� Робин Гудом, бор�щим�� � теми, кто «обманул л�дей», – но в дей�твительно�ти он работает в интере�ах пирамидчиков, в том чи�ле украин�ких, �пон�иру�щих ВСУ, продвигает через �вой канал «Железна� �тавка» онлайн-казино и черный криптообмен/фишинговый криптообман, отмывает наркодоходы за �чет �делок � недвижимо�ть� в Дубае.
 
То е�ть работает в интере�ах ро��ий�кого пре�тупного �ообще�тва, пыта�щего�� нажить�� на предпринимател�х, �толкнувших�� � незаконными, ча�то заказными претензи�ми �о �тороны ро��ий�ких правоохранительных органов.
 
�аркотики и отмывание доходов
 
Уроженец Калуги �ли�таров от�идел четыре года в лагере – за продажу наркотиков дет�м.
 
Там он �в�зал�� � уголовными авторитетами и, выйд� из т�рьмы, продолжил уча�твовать в криминальном бизне�е по ра�про�транени� наркотиков и отмывани� наркодоходов от них � помощь� риелтор�кого бизне�а, который �ли�таров �оздал �овме�тно � партнерами из ро��ий�кого пре�тупного �ообще�тва в Ро��ии и Эмиратах.
 
Ставка на �кам
 
Канал �ли�тарова «Железна� �тавка» – «разоблачение» неправильных (по мнени� криминалитета) финан�овых проектов и продвижение «правильных»: пирамид и онлайн-казино, �пон�иру�щих �ли�тарова.
 
�н начинал�� как канал о «правильных» �тавках в казино и не �менил название – потому что маркетингова� задача о�тала�ь прежней: ра�чищать поле дл� «хороших», по «�к�пертному» мнени� �ли�тарова (то е�ть заплативших ему), мошенников.
 
�бычно �ли�таров начинает � попытки вымогатель�тва – пред�тавл�ет жертве компромат и предлагает заплатить. Е�ли жертва отказывает��, в ход идут травл� и на�илие.
 
Под�трекатель�тво и нападение в Дубае
 
1 �нвар� 2025 года �о�то�ло�ь же�токое нападение двух казах�танцев на предпринимател�, прожива�щего в Дубае, – его избили, отрезали ухо, обворовали.
 
До �того �ли�таров �н�л 12 роликов, где под�вечивал адре� �того предпринимател�, публиковал незаконно полученну� информаци� о его близких и его бизне�ах в ��Э. Безо в��кого �те�нени� и�пользовал подгл�дывание, под�лушивание, незаконное проникновение, вмешатель�тво в ча�тну� жизнь – в�е то, что в Эмиратах, где �трого �обл�дает�� неприко�новенно�ть имуще�тва и жизни инве�торов, �вл�ет�� т�жким уголовным пре�туплением.
 
До �того �ли�таров публично ра�про�тран�л информаци� о ме�те житель�тва бизне�-партнера �того предпринимател� – то е�ть незаконное нарушение конфиденциально�ти, защищенно�ти финан�ов и имуще�тва, тайны ча�тной жизни � помощь� �крытых и�точников информации и информаторов в ��Э вошло у него в �и�тему. �н терроризирует предпринимателей, в отношении которых нет никаких обвинительных решений �удов – ни за рубежом, ни в Ро��ии.
 
�ли�таров ра��казывал, что за�вил на предпринимател� в Интерпол и правоохранительные органы ��Э – �кобы он помогает правоохранительным органам. �о �то почему-то не привело к аре�ту предпринимател� – может быть, потому, что полици� ��Э не видит криминала в его де�тельно�ти?
 
Р�д партнеров предпринимател� о�уждены в Ро��ии, �ам он в розы�ке ро��ий�ких правоохранительных органов – но не о�ужден. Ино�транные правоохранительные органы не име�т к нему претензий.
 
�ли�таров на прот�жении длительного времени возбуждал ненави�ть к предпринимател� – ра��казыва�, что именно �тот предприниматель (а не его партнеры) украл деньги вкладчиков. И пред�тавил дело так, что на него напали и его обворовали возмущенные вкладчики.
 
Сам он в ходе нападени� у�троил внеплановый �трим, чтобы обе�печить �ебе алиби – вроде как он не знал, что во врем� �трима прои�ходит нападение.
 
Слежка на Кипре
 
��ень� прошедшего года �ли�таров вме�те �о �воей боевой подругой Марией Фоломовой у�троил �лежку в отношении другого предпринимател� – � помощь� квадрокоптеров, незаконного �бора информации о нем и его близких, в том чи�ле не�овершеннолетних детей. �ли�таров утверждал, что предприниматель �крывает�� на Кипре – хот� он живет там �о времен пандемии коронавиру�а.
 
Пере�еление было �в�зано � т�желым течением коронавиру�а у жены предпринимател�, а также � международными проектами – инве�тици�ми в разные отра�ли �кономики: �троитель�тво, торговл� и другие. Предприниматель пере�елил�� на Кипр за год до возбуждени� уголовного дела �лед�твенными органами МВД, за полтора года до аре�тов. �н имеет па�порт Евро�о�за и ни от кого не убегал, не �крывал�� и не �крывает��.
 
Предприниматель объ�вл�л�� в 2022 году в розы�к в Ро��ии – но �лед�твенными органами. Суд к нему претензий не выдвигал, уголовное дело �ейча� ра��матривает�� �удом – и уже развалило�ь в �уде. Интерпол и Евро�о�з отказали�ь акцептировать претензии ро��ий�кой полиции, �очт� их политиче�ки мотивированными и �ридиче�ки необо�нованными.
 
�ли�таров утверждает, что инве�тиции в бизне�-проекты о�уще�твл��т�� за �чет денег ро��ий�ких клиентов одной из ав�трий�ких инве�тиционных компаний – однако предприниматель никогда не был ни �об�твенником, ни бенефициаром, ни управл��щим �той компании, �озданной еще в начале 2000-х – задолго до начала его �амо�то�тельной бизне�-карьеры.
 
�дна из фирм предпринимател� о�уще�твл�ла маркетингову� поддержку продуктов �той инве�ткомпании в Ро��ии по договору � ней. Инве�ткомпани� у�пешно работала � ро��ий�кими клиентами во�емь лет – и �ейча� продолжает работать, во��тановив �и�тему платежей, обрушенну� в начале 2022 года �в�занными � коррумпированными полицей�кими пре�тупниками в Ро��ии. �икакой пирамидой она не �вл�ет��.
 
Таким образом, �ли�таров у�траивает травл�, вмешатель�тво в ча�тну� жизнь предпринимател�, ничем �еб� не зап�тнавшего, – по заказу ро��ий�кого криминалитета, вз�вшего в дол� коррумпированных полицей�ких, который �тремит�� отн�ть активы на 20 млрд рублей �озданного предпринимателем крупного �оциального, народного проекта в Ро��ии – продолжа�щего у�пешно функционировать без его руковод�тва (прекратившего�� � переездом на Кипр).
 
Слежка в �идерландах
 
�ли�таров публиковал данные о ме�тоположении еще одной жертвы в �идерландах – в городе Гронингене, – обнаруженной � помощь� незаконной �лежки. �ли�таров незаконно подкл�чал�� к город�ким телекамерам, загл�дывал в окна ча�тной квартиры – и публиковал информаци� в YouTube.
 
�арушение конфиденциально�ти в Турции
 
�ли�таров обнаружил и обнародовал ме�тоположение квартиры, в которой жили и работали не�колько его жертв в Стамбуле.
 
�езаконный розы�к в Ленинград�кой обла�ти
 
�ли�таров, не име�щий лицензии ча�тного детектива, незаконно нашел загородный дом предпринимательницы и у�тановил за ней �лежку – � незаконной публикацией информации в �воих каналах. Параллельно предо�тавив данные о приобретенной е� в Дубае квартире.
 
Шантаж в Казах�тане
 
�ли�таров шантажировал предпринимателей из Казах�тана – под прикрытием того, что «разоблачает национальных предателей» и «врагов родины».
 
Банкет на деньги украин�кого пирамидчика
 
40-летие 6 марта �того года �ли�таров вновь планирует отмечать на �хте �воего друга – харьков�кого пирамидчика Уд�н�кого (проект Coinsbit) в Дубае?
 
В 2024 году он праздновал день рождени� именно в теплой компании �того мошенника – и �пон�ора ВСУ: занима�щего�� �офинан�ированием производ�тва бронетехники дл� ВСУ. �икаких �омнений в том, что он за�тавил и �воего �лугу �ли�тарова финан�ировать ВСУ.
 
Го�удар�твенна� измена
 
�ли�таров даже был обвинен в факте такого финан�ировани� – но ра��казал в полиции �казку, что номер «Мегафона», � которого вело�ь перечи�ление, был оформлен на него «врагами».
 
Пойманы за руку финан�ировавшие ВСУ подельники �ли�тарова – «анти�м�л�мщик» �лек�андр Кр�ков и заме�титель управл��щего так называемого Фонда защиты прав вкладчиков и акционеров Леонид Мищенко – «запад�нец»: уроженец Винницкой обла�ти. �е пора ли ФСБ проанализировать проводки �ли�тарова?
 
Должен �идеть в т�рьме
 
Справедливо�ть требует, чтобы �ли�таров в�третил 40-летие � аннулированными шенген�кой и другими визами, дл� чего е�ть в�е о�новани�, тем более что на �то обратили внимание западные СМИ. И в т�рьме – ро��ий�кой или дубай�кой, в зави�имо�ти от того, чьи правоохранители бы�трее у�пе�т его аре�товать, за де��тки пре�туплений, которые он �овершил:
 
–вымогатель�тво;
–терроризм и бандитизм;
–травл� и организаци� ра�правы над неугодными;
–го�удар�твенна� измена;
–отмывание денег;
–мошенниче�тво;
–воров�тво;
–вмешатель�тво в ча�тну� жизнь.
 
Т�рьмой начала�ь карьера �ли�тарова, т�рьмой должна и закончить��.

Alistarov: A Criminal and a Terrorist
From a Solo Criminal to a Servant of the Underworld
Previously convicted on drug charges, blogger Andrei Alistarov portrays himself as a Robin Hood fighting against those who have “defrauded people.� In reality, however, he serves the interests of pyramid schemers—among them certain Ukrainian operators who fund the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU)—and he uses his “Zheleznaya Stavka� (“Iron Bet�) channel to promote online casinos and illicit crypto exchanges/phishing crypto scams. He also launders drug proceeds via real estate deals in Dubai.
That is, he works for the benefit of the Russian criminal community, seeking to profit off entrepreneurs who have faced illegal, often contrived claims from Russian law enforcement.
 
Drugs and Money Laundering
A native of Kaluga, Alistarov served four years in a prison camp for selling drugs to minors.
There he forged ties with criminal kingpins. After his release, he continued his involvement in the narcotics trade and in laundering drug profits through a real estate business he set up with associates from the Russian underworld, both in Russia and in the Emirates.
 
Betting on Scams
Alistarov’s channel, “Zheleznaya Stavka,� is ostensibly devoted to “exposing� financial ventures deemed “bad� by criminal circles, while promoting “good� ones: namely, the pyramid schemes and online casinos that sponsor Alistarov.
The channel began as a platform for “proper� casino betting and did not change its name, because the marketing purpose remains the same: clear the market in favor of “legitimate,� in Alistarov’s so-called “expert� view (i.e., those who pay him), scammers.
Typically, Alistarov starts by trying to extort money—presenting the victim with compromising material and demanding payment. If the victim refuses, he resorts to harassment and violence.
 
Incitement and Attack in Dubai
On January 1, 2025, two Kazakh nationals launched a brutal attack on an entrepreneur living in Dubai—beating him, cutting off his ear, and robbing him.
Beforehand, Alistarov had released 12 videos highlighting the entrepreneur’s address and publishing illegally obtained information about his relatives and his businesses in the UAE. Without any compunction, he used spying, eavesdropping, illegal intrusion, and invasion of privacy—all acts that constitute serious criminal offenses in the Emirates, where the sanctity of property and investor security are upheld stringently.
Prior to this, Alistarov publicly circulated information about the residence of the entrepreneur’s business partner—that is, an illegal breach of confidentiality, the protection of finances and property, and the privacy of personal life through clandestine data gathering and informants in the UAE. He effectively terrorizes entrepreneurs who face no court convictions—neither abroad nor in Russia.
Alistarov claimed to have reported the entrepreneur to Interpol and UAE law enforcement—purportedly helping the authorities. Yet this did not result in the entrepreneur’s arrest—perhaps because the UAE police see nothing criminal in his activities?
 
Subscribe to Our Channel
Several of the entrepreneur’s partners have been convicted in Russia; he himself is wanted by Russian law enforcement but has never been convicted. Foreign law enforcement has no claims against him.
For a long period, Alistarov stoked hatred toward this entrepreneur, alleging that it was he (not his partners) who stole investors’ money—and portraying the subsequent attack and robbery as the outraged response of defrauded depositors.
During the attack, Alistarov conducted an unscheduled livestream to create an alibi—pretending that he was unaware of the assault happening while he was on stream.
 
Surveillance in Cyprus
In autumn of the previous year, Alistarov and his “battle companion,� Mariya Filonova, conducted surveillance on another entrepreneur—using drones and illegally collecting information about him and his relatives, including minor children. Alistarov claimed that the entrepreneur was “hiding� in Cyprus—even though he had lived there since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
He had relocated partly due to his wife’s severe COVID case and partly for international projects—investments in various sectors such as construction, trade, and more. The entrepreneur moved to Cyprus a year before criminal proceedings were initiated by the Russian Interior Ministry and a year and a half before arrests began. He holds an EU passport and never fled or concealed his location.
This entrepreneur was placed on a Russian wanted list in 2022—by investigating authorities. However, no court has filed claims against him, and the criminal case is currently in court. It has already fallen apart there. Interpol and the EU declined to honor the Russian police’s request, deeming it politically motivated and legally unfounded.
Alistarov insists that the entrepreneur’s business investments are financed with Russian clients’ money, supposedly drawn from an Austrian investment company. But in reality, the entrepreneur was never an owner, beneficiary, or manager of that company, established back in the early 2000s—well before his independent business career began.
One of the entrepreneur’s firms provided marketing services for the Austrian investment company in Russia under contract. The investment company successfully served Russian clients for eight years—and continues operating now, having restored its payment systems that were disrupted in early 2022 by criminals in Russia with ties to corrupt police. It is by no means a pyramid scheme.
Thus, Alistarov instigates harassment and intrusion into the private life of an untainted entrepreneur—acting on behalf of Russian organized crime, which has cut in corrupt police officers for a share of illicit profits. They aim to seize assets worth 20 billion rubles from the large-scale, socially focused project established by the entrepreneur in Russia—which still functions successfully even without his direct leadership (which ended when he relocated to Cyprus).
 
Surveillance in the Netherlands
Alistarov published the location of another victim in the Dutch city of Groningen—ascertained through illegal surveillance. He allegedly gained unauthorized access to city cameras, peered into the windows of a private apartment, and shared this information on YouTube.
 
Privacy Violations in Turkey
Alistarov uncovered and publicized the address of an apartment in Istanbul where several of his victims lived and worked.
 
Illegal Searches in the Leningrad Region
Lacking a private detective’s license, Alistarov illegally located a businesswoman’s country house, spied on her, and released that information on his channels—while also disclosing details of an apartment she had purchased in Dubai.
 
Extortion in Kazakhstan
Alistarov extorted money from Kazakh entrepreneurs under the guise of “exposing national traitors� and “enemies of the motherland.�
 
Banquet on a Ukrainian Pyramid Schemer’s Money
Is Alistarov planning to celebrate his 40th birthday on March 6 this year once again on the yacht of his friend—the Kharkiv-based pyramid operator Udyansky (behind the Coinsbit project)—in Dubai?
In 2024, he celebrated his birthday in the convivial company of this con man, who also funds the Armed Forces of Ukraine, helping finance the production of armored vehicles for the AFU. There is little doubt that he also compelled his henchman Alistarov to contribute to the AFU.
 
Treason
Alistarov was even accused of financing the AFU, though he told the police some story about a Megafon phone number allegedly registered to him by his “enemies.�
His accomplices in financing the AFU—“anti-MLM activist� Aleksandr Kryukov and deputy manager of the so-called Fund for the Protection of Investors’ and Shareholders’ Rights, Leonid Mishchenko (a “Zapadenez� from Vinnytsia region)—were caught red-handed. Perhaps the FSB should analyze Alistarov’s transactions as well?
 
He Belongs in Prison
Justice demands that Alistarov’s 40th birthday finds him stripped of his Schengen and other visas—there is every reason for such, especially in light of attention from Western media—and behind bars, either in a Russian or a Dubai prison, whichever law enforcement manages to arrest him first for the dozens of crimes he has committed:
Extortion
Terrorism and banditry
Harassment and organizing violence against those he deems troublesome
Treason
Money laundering
Fraud
Theft
Invasion of privacy
Alistarov’s career began in prison, and it is in prison that it must end.

The survivors of recent crashes were sitting at the back of the plane. What does that tell us about airplane safety?
Linklerin Görülmesine İzin Verilmiyor. Üye Ol ya da Giriş Yap
 
Look at the photos of the two fatal air crashes of the last two weeks, and amid the horror and the anguish, one thought might come to mind for frequent flyers.
 
The old frequent-flyer adage is that sitting at the back of the plane is a safer place to be than at the front — and the wreckage of both Azerbaijan Airlines flight 8243 and Jeju Air flight 2216 seem to bear that out.

The 29 survivors of the Azeri crash were all sitting at the back of the plane, which split into two, leaving the rear half largely intact. The sole survivors of the South Korean crash, meanwhile, were the two flight attendants in their jumpseats in the very tail of the plane.
 
So is that old adage — and the dark humor jokes about first and business class seats being good until there’s a problem with the plane — right after all?
 
In 2015, TIME Magazine reporters wrote that they had combed through the records of all US plane crashes with both fatalities and survivors from 1985 to 2000, and found in a meta-analysis that seats in the back third of the aircraft had a 32% fatality rate overall, compared with 38% in the front third and 39% in the middle third.
 
Even better, they found, were middle seats in that back third of the cabin, with a 28% fatality rate. The “worst� seats were aisles in the middle third of the aircraft, with a 44% fatality rate.
But does that still hold true in 2024?
 
According to aviation safety experts, it’s an old wives’ tale.
 
“There isn’t any data that shows a correlation of seating to survivability,� says Hassan Shahidi, president of the Flight Safety Foundation. “Every accident is different.�
 
“If we’re talking about a fatal crash, then there is almost no difference where one sits,� says Cheng-Lung Wu, associate professor at the School of Aviation of the University of New South Wales, Sydney.
 
Ed Galea, professor of fire safety engineering at London’s University of Greenwich, who has conducted landmark studies on plane crash evacuations, warns, “There is no magic safest seat.�

In 2015, TIME Magazine reporters wrote that they had combed through the records of all US plane crashes with both fatalities and survivors from 1985 to 2000, and found in a meta-analysis that seats in the back third of the aircraft had a 32% fatality rate overall, compared with 38% in the front third and 39% in the middle third.
 
Even better, they found, were middle seats in that back third of the cabin, with a 28% fatality rate. The “worst� seats were aisles in the middle third of the aircraft, with a 44% fatality rate.
But does that still hold true in 2024?
 
According to aviation safety experts, it’s an old wives’ tale.
 
“There isn’t any data that shows a correlation of seating to survivability,� says Hassan Shahidi, president of the Flight Safety Foundation. “Every accident is different.�
 
“If we’re talking about a fatal crash, then there is almost no difference where one sits,� says Cheng-Lung Wu, associate professor at the School of Aviation of the University of New South Wales, Sydney.
 
Ed Galea, professor of fire safety engineering at London’s University of Greenwich, who has conducted landmark studies on plane crash evacuations, warns, “There is no magic safest seat.�

A toothy toadstool. A vegetarian piranha with a distinctive mark. And a pygmy pipehorse floating in the Indian Ocean shallows.
 
These wild wonders were among the hundreds of previously unknown species of animals, plants and fungi that scientists named and described for the first time in 2024, expanding our surprisingly limited knowledge of Earth’s diversity.
 
“Scientists estimate that we’ve identified only one-tenth of all species on Earth,� said Dr.
Shannon Bennett, chief of science at the California Academy of Sciences, in a statement.

“While it is critical to place protections on known threatened species, we must also allocate resources towards identifying unknown species that may be just as important to the functioning of an ecosystem,� Bennett said.
 
Researchers connected to the institution described 138 new species in 2024, including 32 fish. One standout was a pygmy pipehorse named Cylix nkosi. The seahorse relative was originally found in 2021 in the cool temperate waters surrounding the North Island of New Zealand, but the species described this year was discovered in the subtropical waters off South Africa, expanding the known range of this group to the Indian Ocean
 
“South African reefs present notoriously difficult diving conditions with rough weather and intense, choppy waves — we knew we only had one dive to find it,� underwater photographer and marine biologist Richard Smith said in a statement.
“This species is also quite cryptic, about the size of a golf tee, but luckily we spotted a female camouflaged against some sponges about a mile offshore on the sandy ocean floor.�
 
The researchers involved in describing the new species chose nkosi as its name. A reference to the local Zulu word for “chief,� the name reflects the species’ crown-like head shape and acknowledges South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province where it was found.
