Trump-Backed Darline Graham Wins South Carolina GOP Senate Nomination › American Greatness– amgreatness.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
Sen. Darline Graham won South Carolina’s Republican Senate runoff Tuesday, defeating Rep. Ralph Norman and handing President Donald Trump another victory for his endorsed candidate.
The Associated Press called the race for Graham, who is seeking a full term in the seat previously held by her late brother, longtime Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham.
Graham, 62, will face Democrat Annie Andrews in November and enters the general election as the favorite in heavily Republican South Carolina. Democrats have not won a U.S. Senate race in the state since 1998.
The victory also demonstrates Trump’s continued influence among Republican primary voters. He endorsed Graham and traveled to South Carolina on Friday to campaign alongside her.

Inquest opens into death of ex-Cambridge University professor Jason Arday– abcnews.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
LONDON — An inquest opened Wednesday into the sudden death earlier this month of Jason Arday, a Cambridge University professor who faced a storm of plagiarism accusations.
Arday, 41, who became Cambridge’s youngest Black professor in 2023, was found dead at an address in south London on Aug. 13, days after he resigned his post as professor of sociology of education following intense media scrutiny of his credentials and many of the other claims he had made about his accomplishments outside of academia.
The inquest opened with a short hearing at London Inner South Coroner’s Court. Any deaths in the U.K. that are deemed to exhibit uncertainties of one form or another are investigated by a coroner.
“The various reports have given me reason to suspect that Professor Arday died an unnatural death 12 days ago,” said senior coroner Dr. Julian Morris. “It therefore follows that I must open an investigation.”
Police said at the time of his death that it was being treated as “unexpected” but not suspicious.
Questions about Arday’s qualifications were raised publicly last month by Nathan Cofnas, a one-time Cambridge philosophy researcher who left the university after his critique of diversity, equity and inclusion programs sparked widespread protests. Cofnas previously argued that in a meritocracy, Black people “would disappear from almost all high-profile positions outside of sports and entertainment.” Cofnas was last week suspended from his post at Ghent University in Belgium.

Soros-backed democrat threatens to “blow up” Trump’s ballroom if Democrats are allowed to regain power– www.louderwithcrowder.com

EXCERPT:
As we approach the midterm elections, a good reminder of who the enemy is is to listen to what they are willing to say out loud BEFORE they regain power. Like, and this is just an example off the top of my head, Soros-backed Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner threatening to blow up a portion of the White House. He’s a democrat, so before we accuse him of making a terrorist threat, we have to wait for “independent” “fact” “checkers” to determine what he meant by that.
You may remember Larry Krasner from such other viral clips as “ICE agents are Nazis,” “I’m gonna arrest ICE agents,” and “but looters are misunderstood.” I’m paraphrasing, but only barely.
Also, you may remember Philadelphia as being so overrun with drugs that Mexico used it in an anti-drug commercial. In Mexico. Where the drugs are coming from.
Drugs are fine. Crime is ok. But Trump ballroom is offensive.
I’m going to have a paperweight sitting on my desk. You know what that paperweight is going to be? It’s going to be a piece of the ballroom after we all blow it up.” … In an official ceremony, we’re going to blow it up.

A Mutation Is Making It Easier for Drug-Resistant Malaria to Spread– www.wired.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
The main drug that has been in use for decades to combat malaria in sub-Saharan Africa is running into a problem: In recent years, researchers have become increasingly concerned that parasites are becoming less sensitive to treatment. Identifying the underlying genetic factors has become an urgent priority.
In an attempt to identify the reason for drug-resistant malaria, a team led by Brown University researchers conducted whole-genome analysis of 157 malaria parasite samples selected from specimens collected in Uganda between 2016 and 2024. The work, published in Nature Medicine this week, shows evidence that mutations in a gene that encodes a protein called px1, which had previously received little attention, is likely responsible for the rise in drug resistance.
“Malaria still is a major killer, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa,” Jeffrey Bailey, an associate professor at Brown University specializing in pathology, says in a press release. “As drug resistance continues to emerge, we worry it will undermine control of its spread and result in even more deaths for a large number of people there and beyond.”

Hungary elects supreme court judge ousted by Orban as new president | Civil Rights News– www.aljazeera.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
Hungary’s parliament has confirmed Andras Baka, a former Supreme Court chief and critic of former Prime Minister Viktor Orban, as the country’s next president.
The National Assembly voted in a secret ballot on Tuesday to confirm him as president with 140 votes in favour, six opposing and no abstentions.
He had been nominated on Saturday by the Tisza party, which holds a constitutional majority of more than two-thirds of parliament. During the nomination, Tisza lawmakers said Baka’s experience would represent “a significant asset” as the party lays “the foundations for Hungary’s new constitutional order”.
Opposition party Fidesz – which dominated Hungary’s politics until a landslide electoral defeat in April – boycotted the vote. They accuse Tisza of using authoritarian tactics to reshape the country’s political system, a charge the party denies.

At least 2,000 people have died in Congo’s Ebola outbreak, the fastest-growing on record, according to the latest data, as rebel conflict, bad roads and work stoppages over payment issues challenge the urgent response in a remote region.
Government data published overnight into Tuesday showed the outbreak has 4,381 confirmed cases, including 2,011 deaths. Starting from the first confirmed case, the death toll was reached almost three times faster than in the 2014-16 Ebola outbreak in West Africa, the worst on record.

Restructuring aims to close $365 million budget shortfall
Harvard University laid off almost one-third of its social sciences staff affected by its latest restructuring this month, resulting in 75 direct layoffs.
About 15 of those employees were offered a different job or the choice to take the layoff instead. Three other people either got new roles or quit on their own before the official notices went out, The Harvard Crimson reported.
This is more than twice as many people as the number cut at Harvard College the month before.
“The cuts make the social sciences the hardest-hit part of the [Faculty of Arts and Sciences] restructuring disclosed so far,” The Crimson reported.
The layoffs most heavily impacted the coordinator, faculty assistant, and financial associate positions.
“Twenty-two out of 30 faculty assistant, faculty coordinator, or faculty support specialist roles were slashed, and five of 14 financial associate and senior financial associate positions,” according to The Crimson.
The staff restructuring aims to close a $365 million budget shortfall. Last week’s cuts were the fifth and largest wave of job changes since mid-July, after three smaller rounds in May and June.
Crowley Stuns In WI, Beating Socialist In Dem Governor Primary– thefederalist.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
Wisconsin Democrats on Tuesday disregarded the polls and narrowly rejected an avowed socialist as their nominee for governor in the Badger State’s nationally-watched primary election.
Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, who dropped out of the race late only to be coaxed back in by the so-called Democratic Party “establishment,” defeated democratic socialist Francesca Hong by razor thin margins.
Per usual, Crowley’s Milwaukee County faced a ballot count delay, a stoppage that dragged out the tally for hours and was once again blamed on “human error.” It’s another in a string of election night messes for Milwaukee, Wisconsin’s most-populated — and election integrity challenged city.
With 98.4 percent of the vote in just before 2 a.m., Crowley led by just four-tenths of a percentage point, or just over 3,000 votes. The New York Times finally called the race for Crowley just before 3 a.m. local time.
Doctors File Lawsuit to Stop Illinois’ New Assisted Suicide Law– www.lifenews.com

EXCERPT:
For more than 40 years, Dr. Mary Keen Kirchoff has dedicated her career to caring for the most vulnerable—the disabled, the elderly. She became a doctor to heal, not to help her patients die.
Starting on September 12, the State of Illinois will order her to push suicide on her patients.
Illinois’s new assisted suicide law makes three demands of every doctor in the state:
• Tell patients about the “benefits” of ending their own lives—even patients who never asked.
• Refer them to someone willing to help them die.
• Falsify a death certificate to hide what really happened.
Enes Kanter Freedom declares himself an eligible WNBA prospect | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com

EXCERPT:
“I look forward to the WNBA honoring its stated principles. See you at training camp.”
Amid controversy surrounding who can and should play in the Women’s National Basketball Association, former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom has declared himself to be an eligible prospect. The announcement challenges the assertions of WNBA coaches and some players who say that trans women, also known as men, should be able to compete on women’s sports teams.
In a video, Freedom said “after careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines, I am officially declaring myself a WNBA prospect. If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA.”
“My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA’s eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in May 2027,” he continued.
“I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect and community or personal choices. I am simply asking that the current rules be equally applied to everyone, the rules that represent the very values that many WNBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for.
“My team and I are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently, and without exception. And I look forward to the WNBA honoring its stated principles. See you at training camp.”

Massachusetts Legalizes Abortion Up to Birth; ‘The Progressive Death Cult Takes Over’
The Bay State joins a list of states with a similarly dark approach to innocent human life. Newsweek: Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signed legislation on Monday that gives doctors the final say on whether an abortion should be allowed late in pregnancy, making it the 10th state to allow the procedure at any point in pregnancy (Newsweek).
I am deeply ashamed for my country.
This is what a 34-week-old baby looks like outside the womb.

Julia Cassidy: It was an utterly macabre scene in Massachusetts [Monday], as Democrat Gov. Maura Healey signed legislation legalizing abortion up to birth and removing previously existing protections for post-24 weeks abortions. The death sentence, which overwhelmingly passed the Democrat House on July 22, was met with cheers and smiles of surrounding women who champion “reproductive freedoms.” The new legislation removes the previous 24 week limitation, permitting abortion throughout the pregnancy by “allowing physicians to rely on their professional medical judgment, consistent with accepted standards of care, when providing abortion care later in pregnancy.” It also eliminated a list of “statutory exceptions” that previously permitted late-term abortion in “exceptional cases.” Now, with a doctor’s approval, abortion can be performed at any point for virtually any reason (Townhall).

Colombia earthquake rescuers race to find survivors in rubble as death toll rises to at least 181– www.cbsnews.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
Rescue workers and volunteers rushed to clear rubble as they searched for survivors in Colombia on Tuesday after the country was struck by its strongest earthquake on record.
At least 181 people died and 1,595 were injured in the earthquake, according to the country’s president, Abelardo de la Espriella.
De la Espriella said 195 people were reported missing. Civilian-run databases suggest the number of missing could be as high as 3,900. Many families posted information about loved ones online, hoping for information about their fate.
Over 1,100 homes across the country were destroyed, and over 8,300 damaged, de la Espriella said. Rescue workers and volunteers were seen clearing rubble by hand in some places.
The 7.4 magnitude quake struck cities across Colombia’s western region shortly after 7:30 a.m. local time Monday, sending panicked residents onto the streets.
