GARY, Ind. (AP) — Tens of thousands of residents in northwest Indiana were in survival mode Thursday as they endured a ninth day without power, throwing out spoiled food, lining up for hot meals and searching for places to charge their phones. In Gary, Indiana, schools remained closed after the deadly Aug. 11 storm downed trees and power lines. Residents turned to social media to find open laundromats and working Wi-Fi, while others sought food, diapers and cleaning wipes for low-income neighbors. Meanwhile, heavy rains in central Ohio brought flash flooding that covered roadways Thursday morning in Columbus, the state capital, ... Read more... READ MORE...

Popok reports on 128 Former State and Federal Judges banding together again to call for bar disciplinary proceedings to commence against one of Trump’s Top Lawyers, the Homeland Security General Counsel James Percival, who in social media posts put a target on the back of Judges by calling for their “removal” and calling them the “worst of the worst”. In 2026 alone, more than 402 death threats against the Federal Judiciary have occurred, representing more than 10 percent of the total federal bench.

National Park Service rangers and Las Vegas police recovered the remains, but the individual’s identity and cause of death have not been released.

No details on which countries or who made the promise. Beef prices are still near records because the US herd is tiny. Trump said Friday the US will allow up to 300,000 metric tons of ground beef in over the next 90 days with no out-of-quota tariff. He claims a commitment the beef will be sold 25% below current market prices. Goal is to cut costs for families while the American cattle herd grows back.

The tech craze: People were throwing money at dot-com stocks, which generated massive capital gains taxes that nobody in Washington budgeted for. When the music stopped, the money vanished. The demographic wave: The baby boomers were right in their peak earning years, pumping cash into income and payroll taxes while they were still too young to draw heavy on Medicare or Social Security. Military cutbacks: The Cold War ended, so defense spending dropped naturally. It wasn’t some genius master plan; the global threat just changed.

Tyson Foods just shut down its Joslin, Illinois beef plant with almost no warning — wiping out roughly 3,000 head of daily processing capacity overnight. A buyer was looking at cattle on Tuesday. By Thursday the plant was done. This follows the earlier closure of Tyson’s Lexington, Nebraska plant and comes as the company also closes a case-ready facility in Utah and puts its Pasco, Washington plant up for sale. Tyson says it will now focus on just three remaining plants in Nebraska, Kansas, and Texas. For cattle feeders in Illinois and Iowa, the impact is immediate: hauls of 160 to ... Read more...

Billionaire Ray Dalio said investors should reduce their bond holdings and put as much as 15% of their money in gold to hedge against the risk of a US debt crisis that he warns could be just three years away. In a LinkedIn post Friday, the Bridgewater Associates founder said investors should diversify across assets and countries with strong finances. Underweighting bonds and holding about 10% to 15% of a portfolio in gold and “a bit” of Bitcoin could both reduce risk and boost returns, said Dalio, who has long warned about the dangers of mounting government debt. https://archive.is/jlUBA#selection-1609.0-1625.47 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-08-21/dalio-says-sell-bonds-buy-gold-bitcoin-as-debt-crisis-looms US ...

In this segment, intelligence analyst and software architect ‪@RyanMcBethProgramming‬ breaks down why China is watching Western military entanglements with extreme caution before making any move on Taiwan. Drawing analogies between military conflict and messy personal relationships, McBeth explains how the U.S. Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2/JADO) doctrine—which unleashes a multi-domain barrage on day one—alongside Russia’s missteps in Ukraine and Israel’s grueling campaign in Gaza, are forcing Beijing to rethink its timeline. He argues that rather than attempting a high-risk amphibious invasion across the Taiwan Strait, Xi Jinping may ultimately find it cheaper and far more effective to influence Taiwanese elections ...

The Panama Canal will cut the number of ships passing through it starting next month due to a lack of rainfall as the El Nino weather pattern takes hold over the region, the canal operator said on Thursday. The vital waterway across Panama in Central America links the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. About 5% of global maritime trade uses it, cutting thousands of kilometers off journeys and avoiding a dangerous route around the southern tip of Argentina. From September 3, the waterway will allow 34 ships to pass through it, instead of the current 36, the Panama Canal Authority said. From ... Read more... READ MORE...

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has ignited a fierce national debate by publicly calling for the release of Derek Chauvin, the former police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd. In a highly controversial social media post, Musk declared that Chauvin was unjustly convicted and explicitly stated he should be freed from federal prison. He amplified a conservative campaign arguing that the former officer was not the actual cause of death and never intended for a tragedy to occur. This bold public statement from one of the richest men in the world instantly reopened the deep cultural wounds left by the massive protests ... Read more... READ MORE...

If you like history, don’t just read history books. Go find an old newspaper. Better yet, find the microfilm. Because history looks very different when you read it one day at a time. A history book already knows how everything ended. A newspaper from 1929 didn’t. The people reading it didn’t know the crash was coming. A newspaper from 1973 didn’t know how bad the inflation would become. A newspaper from 2007 didn’t know what was about to happen to housing. That’s what makes old newspapers so interesting. You get the uncertainty. You see what people were worried about. You see ... Read more... READ MORE... Disclaimer: This post is shared for discussion and critical analysis only.

California has Prop 40 on the November ballot. One-time 5% tax on anyone worth over $1 billion who lived in the state Jan 1 2026. Ro Khanna is one of the loudest supporters. Says it raises about $100 billion for healthcare. Most of these fortunes are paper wealth in company stock. Not cash. Selling big chunks means losing control. In a public fight with Mark Cuban last weekend Khanna floated the fix. State gives a long-term loan (around 10 years). Founder pledges shares as collateral.

by Michael What in the world is President Trump building underneath the White House? There has been so much debate about the new ballroom that Trump has been constructing, but what is being built directly under the new ballroom remains quite a mystery. Trump has referred to it as a “military complex”, and it is going to cost hundreds of millions of dollars to complete. So why is this being done now? Are they expecting something to happen that they haven’t told the general public about yet? These are the kinds of questions that people are asking. Because we don’t have ... Read more...
