#9 Taliban Gets $239 Million in Aid After Failure of State Dept. Vetting - Terrance Kible for Just the News, and Julia, and Libs of TikTok on X

The Islamic extremist Taliban has received at least $239 million in U.S. aid aimed at counterterrorism after State Department vetting procedures fell apart, according to a government watchdog. The government watchdog, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), issued a July 2024 report identifying at least 29 grants where the Taliban may have erroneously received counterterrorism funds. SIGAR "investigators found that the State Department failed to comply with its own counterterrorism partner vetting requirements in Afghanistan," Judicial Watch reported. The funds came from State Department divisions called "Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor" and "International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs."

Disturbing footage out of the UK shows hundreds of Muslim migrants armed with knives and hammers attacking and clashing with anti-immigration protesters on the streets in England and Ireland. The chaos began to unfold this week when massive anti-immigration protests emerged in London following the brutal stabbing of three young girls by suspected migrants in Southport. But rather than condemn the horrific violence against the murdered British girls, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday instead condemned the protesters demonstrating against the stabbings as “right-wing thugs” that were “bent on violence.”

#6 Global Stock Markets Plunge - CNN and Mario Nawfal, and Raws Alerts, Radar Hits, and ZeroHedge on X

Chicago Federal Reserve President Austan Goolsbee said Monday the Fed will react to any “deterioration” in the economy. “The Fed’s job is very straightforward: maximize employment, stabilize prices, and maintain financial stability,” Goolsbee said in an interview on CNBC. “We’re forward-looking about it, and so if the conditions collectively start coming in that on the through-line there’s deterioration on any of those parts, we’re going to fix it,” he said before the market opened Monday. “There’s no bad weather. There’s only bad clothing. The conditions come in, we’re going to respond as appropriate,” Goolsbee added. Friday’s weak jobs report sparked a selloff on Wall Street. July’s employment snapshot raised concerns that the Fed may have made missteps amid its fight against inflation, ignoring cracks in the labor market. “The Fed’s job is not to react backward-looking to one month’s numbers,” Goolsbee said about the jobs report, adding: “You can see that it’s the market’s job to react, and it’s the Fed’s job to act. And one of those moves with a lot more volatility than the other.”






 

#5 Treasuries Surge as Traders Bet on Emergency Fed Rate Cut - Yahoo Finance, and RadarHits on X
Bond traders are piling into bets that the US economy is on the verge of deteriorating so quickly that the Federal Reserve will need to start easing monetary policy aggressively — potentially before their next scheduled meeting — to head off a recession. Previous worries about the risk of elevated inflation have virtually disappeared, swiftly giving way to speculation that growth will stall unless the central bank starts pulling interest rates down from a more than two-decade high. Traders now see a roughly 60% chance of an emergency quarter-point cut within one week...

Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, on Saturday admitted cheating on his first wife, following a bombshell report claiming he once got a nanny pregnant. The second gentleman reportedly strayed from then-wife Kerstin over a decade and a half ago with a blond nanny, Najen Naylor, who taught at a private school attended by their two kids. Naylor did not keep the baby, a close friend with direct knowledge of the affair and pregnancy told the Daily Mail. It’s unclear what exactly the friend meant. Hours after the outlet’s report, Emhoff admitted having an affair in a statement to CNN that didn’t name Naylor or address her alleged pregnancy...




 

#2 Justice Neil Gorsuch Warns Biden to ‘Be Careful’ With Supreme Court Reforms - Alexandra Marquez for NBC News, and Simon Ateba, and CBS Mornings on X

Justice Neil Gorsuch responded to President Joe Biden’s proposal for sweeping reforms to the Supreme Court in an interview that aired Sunday, telling Biden to “be careful.” Asked by Fox News’ Shannon Bream to respond to Biden’s proposal, Gorsuch told her, “You’re not going to be surprised that I’m not going to get into what is now a political issue during a presidential election year. I don’t think that would be helpful.” But the justice added that to Americans, the independent judiciary “means that when you’re unpopular, you can get a fair hearing under the law and under the Constitution. If you’re in the majority, you don’t need judges and juries to hear you and protect your rights. You’re popular.”



 

#1 Hurricane Debby Makes Landfall in Florida as Category 1 Storm and Threatens Catastrophic Flooding - AP News, and Ryan Maue, Sierra Lindsey, AccuWeather, and Hurricane Chaser Chase on  X

Hurricane Debby reached the Big Bend coast of Florida early Monday, bringing with it the potential for catastrophic flooding and life-threatening storm surge as it slowly passes over the northern part of the state. Forecasters warned that, in the coming days, record-setting rain could pummel coastal Georgia and South Carolina as the storm heads east. The storm made landfall as a Category 1 storm near Steinhatchee, a tiny community in northern Florida of less than 1,000 residents on Florida’s Gulf Coast. It had maximum sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kph) and was moving north-northeast at 10 mph (17 kph), the National Hurricane Center in Miami said. The storm made landfall in one of the least populated areas of Florida, but forecasters warned heavy rain could spawn catastrophic flooding in Florida, South Carolina, and Georgia.

A retiree says she spent her life with low self-esteem, but now she can be seen on catwalks after a stranger approached her on the street, wanting to take a photo. Irishwoman Anne Flanagan had never modeled before and always thought of herself as a serious person.

Christopher Ward didn’t need directions. He told her he runs the Instagram page Model Strangers, and wanted to snap her photo. Once he showed her the account, she said yes—and the post went viral...
