According to official data, the U.S. economy added just 114,000 jobs in July, well below the 176,000 expected. Additionally, it should be noted that job gains have been consistently revised down in the months preceding the July report, meaning this initial estimate may even be on the high side. The unemployment rate came in much higher than expected in the monthly jobs report, signaling potential cracks in the economy and sending markets on Friday into a dive.
Unemployment came in at 4.3 percent, well above the 4.1 percent projected. This is the highest the rate has been since October 2021.
Earlier this week, the United States Federal Reserve announced there would be no movement on interest rates for the time being. While acknowledging a weakening in the labor market, the central bank still heeded concerns about a potential resurgence in inflation—especially as they are still struggling to reach their 2 percent target. However, if paired with positive downward movement on inflation, the July jobs numbers could lead to a 25bps or 50bps cut in interest rates at September or November’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting.
The jobs report miss sent stock futures tumbling Friday morning, with the S&P 500 and NASDAQ both seeing losses.
Some economists are noting that the so-called Sahm Rule—named for a former Federal Reserve economist—has been triggered, indicating the U.S. is in the midst of a recession. However, some consider the rule to be less than definitive. It dictates a recession is underway if the unemployment rate—based on a three-month moving average—jumps by half a percent from its low in the past year.

A journalistic watchdog has published a scathing review of a prior report from a George Soros-funded group, which alleged members of the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party were holding a secret conference to discuss deporting all people with a migration background from Germany, even if they are citizens.
The Übermedien expert group slammed the leftist activist group Correctiv for its misrepresentation of the facts. The watchdog also blasted the German mainstream media for being entirely uncritical of the claims made by Correctiv about a conference in Potsdam earlier this year that was attended by members of the AfD and Austrian anti-mass migration activist Martin Sellner.
The Correctiv report, which won awards in German media and sparked left-wing protests involving hundreds of thousands of people, is deeply flawed, according to the watchdog, noting a recent court case in which Correctiv outright admitted there was no formal talk of plans for the mass expulsions of migrants by the AfD.
“It has long been obvious how problematic Correctiv reporting and its reception are. And at the same time, how much a critical examination of it is lacking in large parts of the serious press,” the watchdog said.
FAKE REPORTS PROMPTED BANS FROM GERMANY.
Martin Sellner spoke at the Potsdam conference about the “remigration” of illegals and those who refuse to integrate into German society to their homelands, but Correctiv was accused by Übermedien of taking a few fragments of sentences he said, twisting them, and comparing his ideas to Naziethnic cleansing.
The watchdog was especially disturbed by the comparison to the Wannsee conference made by Correctiv in its reporting. The Wannsee conference was the first major meeting to decide on the implementation of what would become the Holocaust.
As a result of the misleading report, Martin Sellner was banned from entering Germany, despite the internal open borders of the European Union (EU) and the close links between Germany and Austria.
SOROS GROUP INVENTED ‘DEPORTATION OF MILLIONS’ PLAN.
Übermedien also notes that only two people in the conference spoke about remigration, but Correctiv implied that the entire conference was actively planning to deport millions of people from Germany.
The Correctiv report even opened by saying, “High-ranking AfD politicians, neo-Nazis and financially strong entrepreneurs came together in November in a hotel near Potsdam. They planned nothing less than the expulsion of millions of people from Germany.”
Correctiv had to note that Sellner had not said that he wanted to use unlawful means to deport anyone, and that others had even said deporting those with German passports was impossible.
REPORT DIVIDED THE POPULIST RIGHT.
The Correctiv report also had some repercussions on the AfD’s relations with other European populist parties. French National Rally (RN) leader Marine Le Pen said she was reconsidering her party’s then-alliance with the AfD because of the report.
Following the European Parliament elections, the AfD had to go its own way and split from other leading populist parties, forming the Europe of Sovereign Nations (ESN) group along with other smaller parties from across Europe.
Le Pen and others joined with Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban to form the Patriots for Europe group, whhile Italy’s Giorgia Meloni remains in the more establishment-friendly European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), effectively splitting the populist right.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) claims male boxers Imane Khelif, of Algeria, and Lin Yu-ting, of Taiwan, are victims of “aggression,” as Elon Musk, J.K. Rowling, and many others criticize them for batteringwomen in Paris.
Khelif forced Italy’s Angela Carini to quit 46 seconds into their bout yesterday, after delivering two powerful headshots which Carini said “hurt too much.” The Italian said she has never been hit so hard. In the ring, she could be heard telling her coach, “It’s not right, it’s not right!”
Both Khelif and Yu-ting were previously disqualified from the World Championships by the International Boxing Association (IBA) for failing sex chromosome and testosterone tests. The IOC, which classifies boxers as men or women based on their passport, blames this decision for the so-called “aggression” the pair are facing.
“The current aggression against these two athletes is based entirely on this arbitrary decision,” the IOC said in a statement.
“The IOC is saddened by the abuse that the two athletes are currently receiving,” it continued. “Every person has the right to practice sport without discrimination.”
The IBA, for its part, has reiterated that “Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting post testing, did not meet the required eligibility criteria to compete within the female category” at their events.
There appears to be a concerted effort to remove footage of Khelif battering Carini from social media with a wave of copyright claims.

Algeria’s Imane Khelif has just beat Italy’s Angela Carini in the Olympic Women’s 66kg Boxing Preliminaries.

Reform Party leader Nigel Farage has taken Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to task for his response to the disorder following the deadly mass stabbing of a number of young girls by a migration-background teenager in Southport, England. Starmer, of the leftist Labour Party, has promised a draconian crackdown on the “far right” in response to the disorder, contrasting with his disinterest in contemporary riots and disorder involving ethnic minorities.
“[Starmer’s] conclusion [is] very simple, it’s all the far right, as if they’re causing all of the problems. No, the far right are a reaction to fear, to discomfort, to unease that is out there, shared by tens of million of people,” Farage said.
“Let me be clear: I don’t support street violence. I don’t support thuggery of any kind,” the Brexit leader stressed. “But I am worried not just about the events in Southport, but about societal decline that is happening in our country. Law and order, folks, on our streets, is breaking down.”
“This Prime Minister hasn’t got an earthly clue how to deal with it,” Farage added, calling for tougher prison sentences for knife criminals and more use of stop-and-search powers by police, without being afraid to use them against people who are not white.
“Mr Starmer, just to blame a few far-right thugs, to say that’s the root of our problems, doesn’t work,” he concluded.

Over 100 protestors in London were arrested on Thursday while demonstrating against the fatal stabbing of three young girls by a migration-background teenager in Southport, England. A total of 111 people were arrested for assaulting police officers, breaching protest conditions, and other offenses. Additionally, 60 others were arrested under the Public Order Act 1986 for failing to comply with protest conditions but not taken into custody.
Demonstrators gathered for the ‘Enough is Enough’ protest clashed with police in Whitehall, which hosts many government departments. London’s Metropolitan Police reported that one officer was punched in the chest, and another was kicked multiple times. However, video footage also shows officers attacking demonstrators, seemingly without provocation.
Generally, the police response to the mass stabbing protestors seems to have been far more aggressive than the response to ethnic minority riots in Leeds recently, or the surrounding of a Rochdale police station by Muslims angry over a fight between officers and their co-religionists at Manchester Airport.
Prior to being arrested, the guy appeared to just be standing there and not attacking any officers. He then receives several punches in the face by a Met Police officer.
Although in this case, I doubt a Labour MP will be visiting him or his family since he’s a soft target. pic.twitter.com/lNSlioabPo
Protests also took place in Hartlepool, Manchester, and Aldershot, where several more arrests were made.
The protests come in the wake of the fatal stabbing of three young girls aged six, seven, and nine, who were attending a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport, England. Several other girls, two female dance teachers, and a man in his sixties who tried to intervene were also stabbed, with many left in critical condition.
Seventeen-year-old Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, born in Wales to Rwandanmigrants, has been arrested and charged with multiple murder and attempted murder counts.
Following the protests, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer promised to crack down on those protesting against the mass stabbing, branding them “far-right.”

Authorities have arrested an illegalalien accused of sexually assaulting a child in Shelby, Michigan in the latest child sex crime involving an illegal. Joel Quintana-Dominguez, 32, faces charges of three counts of sexual assault against a girl under 13 years old, according to local police.
Law enforcement apprehended Quintana-Dominguez on July 19 as he was attempting to flee the country. Shelby Township Police Chief Robert Shelide stated, “I’m disgusted and sickened by these charges.”
“Another victim came in last night and described horrific acts,” Shelide disclosed. “There are likely multiple other victims that we are actively searching for.”
Michigan Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers, a former FBI agent, took to social media, stating, “Another horrific and entirely preventable tragedy. Every single state is a border state thanks to Border Czar Kamala Harris.”
Despite being put in charge of the border crisis in 2021, Vice President Harris has done little to stem the tide of millions of illegals flowing through into the United States, with border officials stating that she flatly refused to implement policies that would stop the crisis.
Harris has even disparaged the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Agency in the past, comparing them to Ku Klux Klan (KKK) while she was serving as a Senator.
Joel Quintana-Dominguez is just the latest in a series of arrests of illegals who have allegedly engaged in child sex crimes under the Biden-Harris government.
In one egregious case, a mother who was also an illegal alien allowed a 33-year-old fellow migrant to rape her 12-year-old daughter in Wisconsin.

Italy has opened the first of two planned migrant processing centers in Albania, beginning the first migrant outsourcing initiative in Europe. The center, located in the northern Albanian port of Shengjin, will house up to 3,000 migrants per month who are collected while sailing to Italy from Africa. A second center, planned for a former air force base in Gjader, is experiencing delays in its opening.
Only migrants who are found by Italian authorities in international waters will be eligible for the program.
Fabrizio Bucci, Italy’s ambassador to Albania, emphasized that Italian and European Union (EU) legislation would govern the centers, drawing parallels to having an Italian center located within Albania.
The bilateral agreement signed between the Italian and Albanian prime ministers will last five years, with the possibility of extension contingent on its success in reducing Italy’s migration burden and deterring migration attempts.
This year, Italy has seen approximately 31,000 migrant arrivals by sea, a reduction from the same period last year. In 2023, over 157,000 migrants arrived in Italy.
Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who campaigned on stricter migration policies, has made the Albania plan a central part of her so-far failed immigration strategy. Last year Meloni even stated that Europe and Italy “need” migrants, setting off alarm bells among her populist voters.
Support for the Albania plan is evident among some EU member states; a letter from 15 EU countries, spearheaded by Denmark, endorsed the outsourcing of migration management.
Such measures have drawn comparisons to the Britain’s previous proposal to transfer asylum seekers to Rwanda. This was immediately scrapped by the new Labour government last month, costing taxpayers millions of pounds. However, Australia has operated offshore migrant centers for years, slashing illegal sea voyages to their territory to almost zero.

As many as 14 percent of non-citizens spoken to by a journalist in Georgia admitted to being registered to vote in American elections, which could mean tens of thousands of non-citizens have been registered.
A video showing non-citizens admitting to being registered to vote was published on July 31 by the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project and shows 14 percent of the non-citizens questioned admitting to being registered to vote. Some non-citizens questioned even admitted they had voted previously.
According to the Oversight Project, an estimated 339,000 non-citizens currently live in Georgia. If the 14 percent number held true for the rest of the state, then Georgia could have as many as 47,000 non-citizens registered to vote.
The number is significant as Joe Biden only won the state by less than 12,000 votes during the 2020 presidential election. Georgia has faced major scrutiny over its election practices, particularly in Fulton County, where election documents published in 2021 revealed election discrepancies, including incorrect ballots being delivered and scanning machines failing.
Earlier this year, 300 election officials in key swing states, including Georgia, raised alarms over election integrity concerns in their localities. The Oversight Project has contacted Georgia officials regarding the non-citizens being registered to vote and wishes to cooperate with any investigation.
Georgia is not the only state that faces issues with non-citizens voting, as prosecutors brought charges against 37 non-citizens who voted in North Carolina’s 2016 election. Prosecutors who handled the cases also noted that most non-citizens were far more likely to vote for the Democrats than the Republicans.

Vadim Krasikov, a Russian national held in a German prison, is a key figure in the prisoner exchange deal which saw the release of The Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan earlier today. Despite the Russians having Krasikov at the top of their list in past negotiations regarding prisoner swaps, little is known about the man other than his assassination of a Chechen dissident in Berlin in 2019 and his suspected role in the death of a businessman in Moscow in 2013.
The twice-divorced Krasikov was serving a life sentence in Germany for the 2019 murder. German and U.S. officials suspect that the Russian national carried out the assassination at the behest of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB). However, some have speculated further that Krasikov may actually be more than just a contract killer and former FSB agent—believing that he never retired and instead acted as a professional assassin for the agency.
Born in the Soviet Union—in what is today Kazakhstan—the 58-year-old Krasikov moved to Siberia in the 1980s. By 2019, however, the allegedly former FSB colonel had relocated to Moscow. By August 2019, Krasikov had entered Germany, and on August 23, he murdered Zelimkhan “Tornike” Khangoshvili in the Kleiner Tiergarten—a small Berlin park. Khangoshvili, a Georgian citizen and ethnic Chechen, was an outspoken critic of Russia’s President Vladimir Putin. He was shot three times in broad daylight by a then-unknown assailant who had followed him on a bicycle.
In February, Putin appeared to refer to an individual believed to be Krasikov as a “patriot” during his interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Putin referenced an individual “serving a sentence in an allied country of the U.S.”—a likely reference to the Russian assassin.

A Venezuelan street gang’s expansion across the United States is heightening concerns among state and federal authorities. Information from aNew Mexico police department, corroborated by federal officials, indicates that members of the gang, Tren De Aragua, have been encouraged to attack police officers in Denver.
On Tuesday, the Albuquerque Police Department confirmed receiving a safety alert regarding the Tren De Aragua organization. Additionally, according to a bulletin from the Colorado Information Analysis Center, members of the gang in Denver have been permitted to target law enforcement officers.
Similar warnings have been sent to federal officials in Chicago and Border Patrol agents. Originating in a Venezuelan prison, the gang has gradually spread northward, reaching the United States. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has previously alerted agents to the potential arrival of Tren De Aragua members via the southern border.
Former President Donald J. Trump has blasted the Biden-Harris government’s open borders policies for allowing the violent Venezuelan gang to gain a foothold in the United States. “In Chicago and Miami, police have confirmed the violent Venezuelan ‘Tren de Aragua’ gang is now operating in their cities,” he noted in February.
In May, Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens warned, “Their criminal activities represent a serious threat to our communities!”
Meanwhile, The National Pulse reported in March that Diego Ibarra, brother of Jose Ibarra, the illegal immigrant arrested for the murder of Laken Riley, is likely a member of Tren de Aragua.
Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill have expressed concerns about the gang’s growing influence. Representative Troy Nehls (R-TX) has called for a moratorium on all Venezuelans entering the U.S. due to the risk posed by released Venezuelan prisoners embedding themselves into illegal immigrant caravans.
