The billionaire owner of the Los Angeles Times has reportedly blocked its editorial board from endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for president.
Members of the newspaper's editorial board were prepared to endorse Harris for commander in chief until a shock announcement from executive editor Terry Tang. ...
She reportedly said the decision came straight from the paper's owner, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, a doctor who made his fortune in the healthcare industry.
The decision marks a major departure for Harris' home state newspaper, which has exclusively endorsed Democratic presidential candidates since then-Senator Barack Obama ran in 2008....

Soon-Shiong had bought out the historic newspaper two years earlier, after spending years working as a skilled surgeon.
He made his money by selling two drug companies: APP Pharmaceuticals to Fresnius Medical Care for $4.6billion in 2008, and Abraxis BioScience to Celgene for $2.8billion in 2010, according to Bloomberg.
Soon-Shiong then purchased the LA Times for $500million in 2018, promising new investments in the languishing newspaper, Politico reports.

The refusal to endorse is itself an investment in a future without Harris being in any position of importance.

Well, I had this open just before I read this article so here goes:
Kamala Harris is possessed by the spirit of antichrist.
Now, for emphasis:

When someone shouted “Jesus is Lord”
at a Kamala Harris rally, she responded
by saying “you are at the wrong rally”

King James Version

And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God:and this is that spirit of antichrist
, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

I still adhere to the opinion leader theory of political alignment and was waiting to hear the LA Times endorsement before I voted. Now what do I do?
