Report: Officials Fielded Thousands of Food Safety Violations by Illegal Street Vendors But Now Do Nothing
The proliferation of rogue street food vendors — largely run by illegal migrants — is not only hitting Los Angeles with third-world-like blight, Democratic leaders have decided to do nothing despite being aware of horrifying health hazards, their own previously unreleased records reveal.
A dog eating meat out of a street vendor’s bag before it was served to customers. Cockroaches crawling out of a food truck. Mice scurrying beside open salsa. Raw meat baking unrefrigerated in the heat. People urinating around cooking equipment.”
Those are just some of shocking allegations listed in a staggering 662-page dossier of 9,746 public health complaints about street food vendors filed across Los Angeles County from 2023 until early 2026, according to the California Post, which obtained the list only after it made a public records request.

[Video] Russia BLOWS UP Missile Warehouse Near Kiev, DESTROYS 90% of Ukraines FOOD STORAGE
Russia continues to unleash major barrages of strikes on Ukraine, with one of the latest rounds destroying a missile warehouse near Kiev. This, as the escalated war is also taking a toll on the retail and food sectors, with Ukraine’s agricultural minister reporting that Russian strikes have destroyed 90% of Ukraine’s food storage facilities.
(SHE DOES NOT HAVE VIDEOS OF THE EMPTY STORE SHELVES. I SAW TWICE TODAY. THEY ARE BARE. BUT IT WILL GET WORSE AS 90% OF THE
WAREHOUSES HAVE BEEN DESTROYED. THIS IN RETALLIATION FOR NATO SENDING DRONES INTO RUSSIA TO HIT SUCH THINGS AS AN ORPHANAGE AND A 12 YEAR-OLD BOY DIFING A BIKE.)

THE ORANGE TSUNAMI: Rightwing One Nation Party Wins Parliament Seat in Western Australia – Surging Anti-Globalists Defeat PM Albanese’s Ruling Labour Party
Reuters reported:
“Gym owner Luke Herdegen scored One Nation’s first lower house seat in the Western Australia parliament, an official tally showed on Sunday, taking a seat in the state capital Perth that had been held by Labor for decades.
One Nation, led by Senator Pauline Hanson, overtook Labor in a national opinion poll for the first time in June, a month after winning its first elected seat in the federal House of Representatives.”

These Are The World's Safest (And Least Safe) Cities
Doha ranks as the safest major city in the world in 2026, while Caracas sits at the opposite end of the ranking.
This graphic, via Visual Capitalist's Dorothy Neufeld, compares the world’s safest and least safe major cities using Numbeo’s 2026 Safety Index. Scores are based on five years of user submissions covering perceptions of crime, personal safety, property crime, and violent crime. They do not measure official crime rates or exposure to geopolitical conflict.
Four of the top 10 cities are in the Middle East, including two in Saudi Arabia: Riyadh and Jeddah.
Gallup’s latest Global Safety Report reinforces the pattern. Singapore had the world’s highest share of adults who said they felt safe walking alone at night, at 98%, followed by Saudi Arabia at 93% and the UAE at 90%.
Asia dominates the rest of the top 10. Outside the Middle East, every city represented is in East or Southeast Asia, while European cities are notably absent despite routinely leading global livability rankings.
The bottom of the ranking is heavily concentrated by country. Brazil accounts for four of the 10 cities, while South Africa accounts for three, including Johannesburg and Durban. South Africa also has one of the world’s highest homicide rates.
Gallup data show a similar geographic pattern. Of the 10 countries where people felt least safe walking alone at night, nine were in sub-Saharan Africa or Latin America. South Africa ranked lowest globally, with just 33% of adults saying they felt safe walking alone at night.
Guayaquil’s low ranking also comes amid a sharp rise in violence. Guayas province, where the city is located, recorded 4,106 homicides in 2025, the most of any province in Ecuador and up 26.5% from 2024.

Major Cities Rankings (Population >500,000) Based on FBI-derived data and analyses of large urban areas, the most dangerous cities typically include:
Memphis, Tennessee: Consistently ranks #1 for total crime and violent crime rates among major cities, with a violent crime rate exceeding 1,800 per 100,000 residents.
Detroit, Michigan: Frequently ranks #2 in violent crime among large cities, with rates over 1,600 per 100,000.
Baltimore, Maryland: Typically ranks #3 or #4, with violent crime rates around 1,600 per 100,000.
Houston, Texas: Often appears in the top 5 for large cities, with a violent crime rate near 1,150 per 100,000.
Nashville, Tennessee: Rounding out the top 5 for large cities, with a rate around 1,124 per 100,000. (Nashville was a 52% White city in 2020 but that figure is probably lower today.)
All Cities Rankings (Including Smaller Urban Areas) When including smaller cities, rankings shift due to lower population bases and different calculation methods:
St. Louis, Missouri: Often cited as the #1 most dangerous city overall, with violent crime rates sometimes reported as high as 8,000+ per 100,000 in specific compilations, or ~2,082 per 100,000 in other 2025/2026 datasets.
Albuquerque, New Mexico: Frequently ranks in the top 3 for smaller-to-medium cities, with violent crime rates exceeding 8,000 per 100,000 in some data sets.
Little Rock, Arkansas: Ranks highly for smaller cities, with violent crime rates around 1,831 per 100,000. (Little Rock was 42% White in 2020, maybe less now.
Oakland, California: Leads the nation in property crime and ranks #3 in violent crime among large cities (rate ~1,475 per 100,000).

Nepal Floods, China Cover Up?!
They mocked his wall for 44 years. Then a 66-foot wave came
(From my Brave Browser AI)
A fresh flash flood struck the Trishuli River in Nepal on August 30, 2026. Officials reported that a suspension bridge in the Gorkha district was swept away by the surge, which occurred five days after the initial catastrophic disaster triggered by a glacial collapse.
Key developments from the fresh surge:
Location: The flood hit the Trishuli River, destroying infrastructure in central Nepal, specifically connecting Ghyalchowk in the Gandaki Rural Municipality.
Context: This event occurred while rescue teams were already battling the aftermath of the original August 26 disaster, which has left the death toll above 800 and over 3,000 people missing across Nepal and Tibet.
Ongoing Risks: Authorities had previously warned of rising water levels and the threat of secondary disasters from barrier lakes formed by debris; the fresh flood confirms these dangers remain acute as search operations continue.
The M7.8 Gorkha earthquake (April 25, 2015) and its aftershocks triggered a major ice-rock avalanche from the south face of Langtang Lirung, which buried Langtang village and killed over 300 people. That was a different face from the north face that failed on August 26, 2026.
So the 2015 event didn't directly "crack" the specific glacier tongue that collapsed this week. The connection is more about broader destabilization of the mountain system:
Fracturing of bedrock: The seismic shaking propagated through the mountain, opening new fractures and weakening existing failure planes in the rock that buttresses the glacier. Once rock is fractured, it loses structural integrity for years to decades.
Removal of buttressing material: The 2015 avalanche stripped material from the south face, changing the overall mass balance and stress distribution of the mountain. This is part of what geologists call the "paraglacial response" — when glaciers retreat or are disrupted, the rock they once supported is left oversteepened and unstable.
Permafrost damage: Seismic shaking can damage the ice-cemented bonds within permafrost that act as "frozen glue" holding fractured rock faces together. Once that glue is compromised, it doesn't fully re-freeze in the same configuration
Scientists emphasize that the 2026 collapse was not triggered by an earthquake — it was a spontaneous failure. The 2015 event is cited as background evidence that this mountain is structurally vulnerable. The primary accelerants in 2026 were:
Four consecutive record-warm summers (July 2026 was the 2nd warmest in 86 years)
Permafrost thaw degrading the "glue" in the rock face
Glacier thinning withdrawing support from the steep cliff it once buttressed
Tectonic uplift making the glacier steeper over time
In short: the 2015 earthquakes primed the mountain by fracturing rock and altering slope geometry, while warming over the following decade progressively weakened the system until it failed on its own.
1. Loss of ice "glue" (the primary effect)In frozen rock, ice fills fractures, joints, and micro-pores, bonding the rock mass together like a natural cement. When that ice melts, shear strength along those surfaces drops dramatically — both cohesion and friction angle decline. A 2018 study by Krautblatter et al. showed that even a modest warming of ice-filled joints from −4 °C to −0.5 °C causes a significant drop in shear resistance, enough to trigger progressive slope failure.
2. Pore water pressure buildup Frozen rock is nearly impermeable — ice seals the fractures. Once the ice thaws, meltwater and snowmelt can penetrate the fracture network and become pressurized (borehole studies have measured heads up to ~12 m). This pressurized water:
Pushes against fracture walls, reducing effective normal stress (and thus friction)
Accelerates rock fatigue through repeated loading cycles
Creates "thaw corridors" that propagate degradation from the surface downward
WHAT ALL THIS MEANS FOR OUR FUTURE.
(However, I can remember floods from my childhood which were caused by two storms. There were two Marysville floods in my
childhood. The first started on Christmas Eve 1950 and the second was the week before Christmas in 1964,
There were a series of storms. The first storm from the north dumped lots of fresh snow on the mountains on top of the existing snow
pack. Then a few days later another huge storm dumped a lot of warm rain water from the south on
the same mountains. These two storms melted the snow pack. All that water flooded down into the valleys below and flooded out hundreds of
square miles. of territory. This could happen again all over the world. With all this solar energy stacking up in our atmosphere resulting in excessive
rainfall and melting snow pack, we can expect more storms and more floods. China has already had a lot of these floods with hundreds of millions of
people being flooded out of their homes. This has destroyed a tremendous amount of infrastructure, farms and villages. It is threatening dams and
flood control systems. The 3 Gorges dam is near collapse according to Chinese engineers who have been disappeared by the police for revealing that
the government was guilty of stupidity, malfeasance, corruption and shoddy building practices. The collapse of the 3 Gorges dam could end the CCP regime.
