One creep found himself on the receiving end of an unforgettable lesson at the hands of an armed and fearless teacher in Texas. As reported by KHOU-TV in Houston, the incident began just before midnight July 28, after an unidentified man followed a teenager off a bus on Houston’s east side.

Around three-quarters of the global carry trade has been removed, JPMorgan strategists said in a Wednesday note. In their recent report, JPMorgan noted that the risk-reward for global carry is low due to the upcoming US elections and the potential repricing of funders on lower US rates. Also, they pointed out that rates momentum is expected to turn more significantly against G10 carry, which favors a rotation to value. "Our view remains unchanged for both, but carry baskets already suffered a significant drawdown following the tech sell-off," strategists said in the Wednesday note. For G10, EM, and global portfolios, the...

Rolls-Royce breaks all luxury limits and unveils new engine: the end of hydrogen with something better The first biomass engine in history beats hydrogen: It’s submersible, and no one understands how it works This engine was a prediction a century ago, and it runs on steam: It’s the end of EVs and FCEVs Nowadays, cars use batteries and motors to move, however, this way of movement is very inefficient because overcoming friction and gravity takes most of the energy. But Japan presents a very innovative solution which is magnetic levitation and will be the (supposed) end of hydrogen engines. Will...

Talk of Donald Trump “meltdowns” tends to be overblown. For eight years, we’ve been told, frequently, that he’s losing the plot, fuming at staffers, having tantrum and setting fire to his re-election hopes. Somehow, however, the Trump train keeps chugging on. This week, Republican strategists are telling Politico that Trump is having “a public nervous breakdown” and many Democrats are gloating that he and J.D. Vance just can’t handle being called “weird” by Kamala Harris and her new running mate, Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota. The Trump campaign now believes that Walz gives them a chance to…Talk of Donald Trump...

As governor of Minnesota, one of Tim Walz's accomplishments was signing a 2023 education law that included a mandate for schools to provide free menstrual supplies to students in grades 4 through 12. That mandate is drawing fresh attention as the Trump campaign seeks to criticize Walz for the law, claiming it requires school districts to supply tampons and pads to both female and male bathrooms due to transgender boys who may menstruate. On social media, the hashtag #TamponTim began trending on August 6, the day Walz was named as Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate for the Democratic presidential...

Kamala Harris has taken a five-point lead in a head-to-head matchup with Donald Trump, according to a new nationwide poll. The Marquette University survey also found that when third party candidates including Robert F. Kennedy and Cornel West are added, Harris has an eight-point advantage. The shocking results show Harris continues to see a bump in popularity after President Joe Biden announced he wasn't running.

The City of Chicago is reportedly stalling a permit application from a pro-Israel group to stage a solidarity march during the Democratic National Convention later this month. The Jewish News Syndicate reports: The Israeli American Council, a nonprofit organization representing Israeli-Americans that seeks to strengthen ties between the U.S. and Israel, filed two applications with Chicago’s Department of Transportation at the beginning of July, according to Aya Schechter, the group’s chief programming officer. But with just under two weeks remaining until the convention, the IAC has yet to receive an answer from the city, despite following up via phone and...

Wacky Walz: The 10 most radical acts of Kamala’s running mateYou could not possibly conjure up a more radical ticket than Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.The election is a choice between San Francisco and Minneapolis anarcho-tyranny and Middle American ordered liberty. That must be the message every day from the Trump campaign now that Harris has tethered her San Francisco poop and drug fest to the infernos of Tim Walz’s Minneapolis riots. Minnesota’s governor embodies anarcho-tyranny like no one before him. Democrats now contradict the social compact outlined in the preamble of the Constitution — “to establish Justice, insure domestic...

The public policy institute The Heritage Foundation recently released a bombshell video exposing information that an alarming 14 percent of non-citizens and illegal immigrants in Georgia admitted to being registered to vote in the upcoming 2024 American elections. "The apartment complex Elliot Norcross in Norcross, Georgia, is occupied primarily by non-citizens," one journalist in the video stated. "We visited the complex to ask residents two questions: 'Are you a citizen?' and 'Are you registered to vote?' Shockingly, 14 percent of respondents admitted to being noncitizens registered to vote."

Kamala Harris hinted on Wednesday that she might consider an arms embargo against Israel in a bid to court the so-called “Uncommitted” Muslim and Arab voters in Michigan. According to The New York Times, Harris met briefly with Abbas Alawieh and Layla Elabed, co-founders of the Uncommitted National Movement, before her rally in Detroit. This group, which has mobilized voters in Michigan to withhold support from Joe Biden due to his backing of Israel in the Gaza conflict, pressed Harris to support an arms embargo.

For those who are out on the water near the Erie bayfront attempting to catch the Lake Erie alligator, Jayson Olsen from Siren's Nest of Exotic Rescue has some advice: Leave the task to the professionals.

"If anything, call the (Erie-Western Pennsylvania) Port Authority or even the game warden or commission." Olsen, an animal trapper,...

Five decades have now passed since Richard Nixon tendered his resignation as president on the morning of August 9, 1974, in the climax to the Watergate scandal. In announcing his resignation in an Oval Office speech the previous evening, Nixon said little about the scandal itself, instead highlighting his own achievements in bringing peace to the Middle East and reopening relations between the United States and the People’s Republic of China. He attributed his resignation to the loss of his political base in Congress. That was true: a few days earlier, a delegation of Republican senators had visited the White...

Three men from the Dominican Republic have been extradited to New Jersey to face charges related to a massive "grandparents' scam” that stole millions from elderly Americans in the Northeast, the U.S. attorney announced. Juan Rafael Parra Arias, 41, Miguel Angel Vasquez, 24, and Jose Ismael Dilone Rodriguez, 34, of Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic, made their initial appearances in federal court in Newark on Monday and were ordered detained while awaiting trial.

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — Local leaders are looking to help more renters find a stable place to live with a new court-instituted rule. The Dayton Municipal Court will now seal eviction records. Dayton Clerk of Courts Marty Gehres says the goal is to create a fairer housing market. “Some local landlords and landlords across the country use databases that do background checks and if an individual does have an eviction on their record, it becomes extremely difficult for them to actually obtain long term stable housing,” said Gehres. Gehres says the new rule will also have an impact on children....

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — President Joe Biden on Saturday signed a $1.2 trillion package of spending bills after Congress had passed the long overdue legislation just hours earlier, ending the threat of a partial government shutdown.“This agreement represents a compromise, which means neither side got everything it wanted,” Biden said in a statement. “But it rejects extreme cuts from House Republicans and expands access to child care, invests in cancer research, funds mental health and substance use care, advances American leadership abroad, and provides resources to secure the border. ... That’s good news for the American people.” (snip) When combining...

A rally for Kamala Harris in Detroit, Michigan, on Wednesday reportedly ended in disaster with thousands stranded while certain staffers were brought to tears. According to political scientist Josiah Lippincott, the rally ended with people being unable to find shuttles back to their cars, leaving them stranded. “Complete chaos after the Detroit Kamala rally. It has been 2.5 hours and people are still unable to find shuttles back to their cars. Campaign staff has no idea what is happening. Rally was held near a UPS delivery center so dozens of trucks are mixed up with the buses. Tempers are high,”...

This election season, the Democrats have again descended into a quagmire of duplicity, lies, mindless name-calling, and one-upmanship. In response, the Republicans, including the Trump campaign, are predictably and foolishly initiating their own campaigns of name-calling and one-upmanship. In the meantime, the vast majority of Americans remain on the sidelines, watching the food fight. As a result, far too many fail to understand the threat the Democrat party, controlled by the Obama-led Marxist faction, poses to the country. In order to win in November, Donald Trump, his campaign surrogates, Republican candidates, and Republican party activists must single-mindedly focus on the...

The men’s 1,500-meter final always promised to deliver drama, but perhaps not quite like this. This was supposed to be a showdown between Jakob Ingebrigtsen, the reigning Olympic champion, and Josh Kerr, the world champion. So it was a shock to everyone inside the Stade de France when a different runner entirely surged into the lead in the final straight to claim an unlikely, improbable win. Cole Hocker’s victory was arguably the biggest upset of the Games so far, a wild ending to a thrilling race for the ages. The American stretched out his arms in delight as he crossed...
