Excerpt:Pakistan continued to be hit by torrential rains with more than 20 people dying on August 20 in fresh flooding that has crippled several parts of the country over the last weeks.
In the financial capital, Karachi, rainfall reached levels not seen in years disrupting power, phone service, and flights.
Meanwhile, recovery crews looked for bodies and dug through debris in Pakistan’s northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province after deadly floods killed more than 350 people in the region.
RFE/RL’s Radio Mashaal spoke to people in the Buner district, which was hit by flash flooding and landslides triggered by heavy monsoon rains.

Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan claims she’s immune from being prosecuted over federal charges she helped a violent illegal immigrant elude Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. But Dugan learned on Tuesday that no man — or woman — is higher than the law.
Apparently, Dugan’s alleged conduct was so egregious that even one of the more notoriously leftist federal judges in the country couldn’t look the other way.
U.S. District Court Judge Lynn Adelman agreed with a U.S. Magistrate’s previous recommendation that Dugan’s motion to dismiss the federal government’s case be denied. Adelman scheduled an in-court hearing for next Wednesday in his Milwaukee courtroom to set up a timeline for trial.

President Donald Trump has been warning for years that mail-in ballots and voting machines are riddled with vulnerabilities that invite fraud and undermine trust in elections. We’ve discussed these vulnerabilities here at PJ Media extensively, and now Trump is taking action on them. On Monday morning, President Trump announced on Truth Social that he will issue an executive order to put an end to mail-in ballots before the 2026 midterms and restore “honesty and integrity” to America’s elections.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping made a rare visit to Tibet on Wednesday to mark the 60th anniversary of the consolidation of Beijing’s long-contested rule over the Himalayan territory.
Xi arrived in Tibet’s regional capital of Lhasa, where he “received a warm welcome from people of various ethnic groups” who waved bouquets of flowers and danced “to joyful rhythms,” the Xinhua News Agency said.
The agency said Xi urged the building of a “modern socialist” Tibet “that is united, prosperous, civilized, harmonious and beautiful.”
Communist forces occupied Tibet in 1951. In 1965, Mao Zedong’s single-party dictatorship established the Tibet autonomous region. Decades of political repression followed, including the demolition of some Buddhist monasteries and the imprisonment of monks.

Fears over the state of Donald Trump‘s health have been resurrected after the US President confessed he is worried about not getting into heaven. This had led to speculation that “he knows he’s dying”.
Speaking on Tuesday to Fox News, Mr Trump said that he hopes negotiating peace between Ukraine and Russia will improve his odds of passing on to a good afterlife. “If I can save 7,000 people a week from being killed, I think that’s a pretty… I want to try to get to heaven if possible, I’m hearing that I’m not doing well,” he said. “I am really at the bottom of the totem pole. But if I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons.” The comments came just one day after hosting multiple European leaders at the White House, including Ukraine‘s Volodymyr Zelensky, Sir Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte.
GOP Rep. Under Fire After Doubling Down On MAGA Betrayal: ‘We Need Action’– trendingpoliticsnews.com

U.S. Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) is doubling down on his calls to axe Republican-led redistricting efforts after California Governor Gavin Newsom announced a plan to draw out five Republican-controlled districts in his state, which is already among the most gerrymandered in the nation. Rep. Kiley’s seat is in danger of being drawn out if Newsom’s plan succeeds.
Earlier this month, the California lawmaker introduced a bill that, if passed, would prevent states from redrawing their respective congressional maps before the 2030 census. The bill was introduced as Texas Republicans moved forward with a plan that would create five additional districts that Trump won by 10 or more points last year.
A number of additional Republican-controlled states, including Missouri, Ohio, in addition to potential plans from Indiana and Florida, are considering redistricting themselves. Republicans have argued that the move is necessary due to extreme gerrymanders in Democrat-controlled states like California, Illinois and Maryland.

Imagine the brain’s blood vessels as a bustling highway system, twisting, turning, and pulsing with life. Now picture a traffic jam in one of the most critical intersections: that’s what happens in cerebrovascular diseases, especially when stenosis (narrowing of blood vessels) blocks the flow.
Doctors have tools to clear the jam, like surgical rerouting, balloon angioplasty, and stents. These can help restore blood flow, but here’s the catch: they don’t rebuild the real complexity of the brain’s vascular network. It’s like fixing a highway with straight pipes when the brain needs winding mountain roads.
Traditional lab models? They’re often too simple. Static cultures and microfluidic chips can’t mimic the brain’s dynamic flow, flexible vessel walls, or biological responses. That’s like studying traffic patterns using toy cars on a flat board.

Key Takeaways
- The Conversation is a news organization partially funded by public universities to the tune of $2 million annually while producing predominantly anti-Trump content.
- None of the articles analyzed by The College Fix were explicitly supportive of Trump, and the language used in many instances was deemed emotionally charged and biased, raising concerns about the publication’s claim of neutrality.
- Public universities, including Michigan State and West Virginia University, financially support The Conversation, but inquiries to these institutions about their contributions and the political alignment of the outlet went unanswered.

President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he would work to “get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS.” Democrats and their media allies reflexively attacked the president, insisting that mail-in voting is secure — as if repeating it often enough makes it true.
Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold said on CNN that “Mail ballots are secure.” ABC News’ Hannah Demissie dismissed Trump’s claims as “without … evidence” before later conceding fraud does occur, but that it’s “rare” (as if any amount of voter fraud should be tolerated). ABC7 Eyewitness News said Trump “falsely” claimed mail-in ballots “lead to voter fraud.”
MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace said Trump’s comments are “completely false” and claimed there is “zero evidence” to support his voter fraud claims in U.S. elections.

An Arizona judge is reportedly planning to free an illegal alien who kidnapped and raped a girl from Kansas whom he brought all the way to Arizona.
The 14-year-old girl went missing on July 20, but authorities were able to track her cell phone and locate her in an Extended Stay America hotel in Chandler, Arizona. The kidnapper is a man named Cristian Leonardo Caal Mucu. When police arrived, the teenage girl was alone in the hotel room. What local media was reluctant to admit was that Caal Mucu is an illegal alien. And now this predator is set to be released on bail with only electronic monitoring.

On Tuesday, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy revealed that the illegal alien truck driver who killed three people on a Florida highway last week had failed English and was unable to read road signs.
The Punjabi driver, who obtained his truck driving license in the Democrat-run sanctuary states of California and Washington, made a dangerous U-turn on Florida’s Turnpike near Fort Pierce last Tuesday, causing a deadly crash.
The driver, Harjinder Singh, was arrested in Stockton, California, and charged Saturday with three counts of vehicular homicide.
“At the conclusion of his state charges, he will be deported,” Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, Executive Director, Dave Kerner said.

Enter, stage right: Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
I reported earlier this week that 4chan’s notorious internet pranksters hired a couple of big-name law firms, after Britain threatened the American-based company with a £20,000 fine, followed by hefty daily fines, if the group failed to impose Britain’s censorship rules on 4chan’s users everywhere in the world — including in the U.S.
4chan’s representation called the actions of Britain’s Office of Communications (Ofcom) an “illegal campaign of harassment against American technology firms.”

You can be arrested for praying outside of an abortion factory in the UK. You can be arrested for SILENTLY praying outside of an abortion factory. It shouldn’t be surprising to see a dudebro arrested for yelling “We Love Bacon” outside of a mosque. Yet it happened, it’s ridiculous to watch, and it stands as a constant reminder of why we broke up with England and are never, ever, ever getting back together.
Worst of all? This patriot, or whatever passes for being a patriot in Europe, got arrested on National Bacon Lovers Day. This is a real thing today. I saw it on the Google and everything.
It was a protest outside the South Lakes Islamic Centre in Dalton, which I suppose is a UK city. I’m mostly surprised they allowed the protest. As we’ve been seeing in the UK for the past decade, culturally enriching refugees can have their run of the city, up to and including forming grooming and rape gangs. People born in the UK, on the other hand, can get arrested for posting anything on social media about it. Also, for catcalling.

A Clinton-appointed federal judge has halted the Texas law mandating the display of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms.
U.S. District Judge Fred Biery issued a preliminary injunction on Wednesday, claiming the measure violates the First Amendment by promoting religious coercion.
The ruling comes just days before the law was set to take effect on September 1.
The law, known as Senate Bill 10, was signed by Republican Governor Greg Abbott earlier this year. It required every public school classroom to feature a large, durable poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments, measuring at least 16 by 20 inches, in a “conspicuous place.”
Supporters argued that the Commandments represent foundational moral principles that have shaped American law and society, serving as a reminder of values like honesty, respect, and responsibility.

WARSAW, Poland — Poland’s defense minister said that a flying object that crashed and exploded in a cornfield in eastern Poland early Wednesday was identified as a Russian drone, calling it a provocation by Russia.
At a news conference in Warsaw, Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz accused Russia of provoking NATO during a crucial moment, as peace talks over the war in neighboring Ukraine are underway, the country’s news agency PAP reported.
“Russia is provoking us once again,” Kosiniak-Kamysz said, just as peace talks have given hope that the war “has a chance of ending.”
Police said they received reports of the crash around 2 a.m. and found burned metal and plastic debris at the scene, near the village of Osiny. The blast broke windows in some nearby houses, but nobody was injured, PAP reported.

Avowed socialist and New York City mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani garnered attention with his pledge to allocate tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to gender-affirming medical care, but far less publicized is his proposal to fund LGBTQIA+ “educational liaisons” in every public school.
Mamdani’s LGBTQIA+ policy memo states that only two LGBTQIA+ liaisons cover the 1,800 schools and 900,000 students under the purview of the NYC Department of Education. Under Mamdani’s plan, an Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs would be created, costing taxpayers $3 million to expand staffing and place at least one liaison in every NYC school district.
Given Mamdani’s views on gender ideology, these positions would inevitably push affirmation-only “gender-affirming care,” embedding the “student-to-trans pipeline” and placing children at the center of trans activism.

A federal judge has tossed out the Trump administration’s lawsuits against 15 Maryland judges who have ruled against President Donald Trump’s policies.
The Justice Department filed a lawsuit against all 15 judges with the US District Court for the District of Maryland in June. The complaint challenged Chief Judge Georga Russell III’s order pausing deportations for two business days when a detained illegal immigrant files a habeas corpus petition. The agency referred to the ruling as an “automatic injunction” that hampered the government’s ability to enforce immigration laws.
The DOJ asserted that district courts do not have jurisdiction over matters related to immigration. The complaint demanded that the judges recuse themselves from immigration-related cases.
In a scathing ruling, Judge Thomas Cullen, a Trump appointee, threw out the DOJ’s lawsuit, calling the case improper and constitutionally reckless. The judge argued that the policy was temporary and based on appellate court procedures. It also allowed judges time to properly evaluate the case.
Cullen acknowledged the administration’s objections to the judge’s rulings. “Fair enough, as far as it goes. If these arguments were made in the proper forum, they might well get some traction,” he wrote. However, he criticized the White House for bypassing regular channels like appeals or judicial council petitions. Instead, “the Executive decided to sue—and in a big way,” by suing every single judge in the Maryland district, the judge noted.

Something happened to John Bolton. He turned…. hard. It was such a hard pivot, I imagined someone or some entity was blackmailing him with it, maybe something to do with all his extracurriculars in Qatar.
This raid does not surprise me. Bolton has lost the plot. Utterly. And with it, his mind, it seems.
Forced to resign under Bush, Bolton stood by the RINO President. Despite their policy disagreements, Bolton would describe his loyalty to the spineless, gutless Bush, saying, “I serve at the pleasure of the President.” And yet he afforded no such pleasure to the President who gave him his most senior position. And how badly, how desperately, he wanted to be part of the Trump administration. What a rat.
I thought I knew him. I was wrong. He’s a small, narcissistic thirst monster. His betrayal is nothing short of shocking.

Now, the Democratic Party is for elite, college-educated women angered by President Donald Trump and MAGA, such as the white-haired Virginia woman who went viral last week with a racist protest message against black GOP Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears.
“As a party of mostly college-educated females, they’re drastically alienating everyone else,” Cygnal pollster Brent Buchanan said this week, alluding to his latest survey showing the Democratic image sinking, now twice as bad as the Republicans.
He suggested that it’s the issues the Democratic base is choosing that are driving away its core. For example, the base is angered at Trump’s efforts to boost safety in cities by deploying the National Guard, but others aren’t worked up about it.
