AMERICANALMANAC (Alan Benson) - Abdul El-Sayed's father-in-law bankrolled his super PAC while leading Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations

The top donor to the super PAC backing Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed holds leadership positions in two organizations the federal government linked to Hamas financing, and he happens to be El-Sayed's father-in-law. Tayeb Jukaku, a kidney doctor who immigrated from India, has poured $200,000 into the Fighting for Michigan PAC, which supports El-Sayed's Democratic […] The post Abdul El-Sayed's father-in-law bankrolled his super PAC while leading Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations appeared first on American Almanac .

The top donor to the super PAC backing Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed holds leadership positions in two organizations the federal government linked to Hamas financing, and he happens to be El-Sayed's father-in-law. Tayeb Jukaku, a kidney doctor who immigrated from India, has poured $200,000 into the Fighting for Michigan PAC, which supports El-Sayed's Democratic primary bid. That sum accounts for nearly half of the $478,125.68 the PAC had raised as of March 31, according to Federal Election Commission records. At the same time, Jukaku sits on the 20-member founding committee of the Islamic Society of North America, an organization federal prosecutors named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terror-financing case in…Open

AMERICANALMANAC (Alan Benson) - Los Angeles suspends health enforcement for unlicensed street vendors while restaurants face fines and closures

The Los Angeles County Health Department has stopped enforcing food-safety rules against unpermitted street vendors, but licensed restaurants in the same neighborhoods still face inspections, citations, and shutdowns. The county's stated reason: "safety concerns for our staff arising out of federal immigration enforcement actions." The result is a two-tiered system in which legal operators absorb […] The post Los Angeles suspends health enforcement for unlicensed street vendors while restaurants face fines and closures appeared first on American Almanac .

The Los Angeles County Health Department has stopped enforcing food-safety rules against unpermitted street vendors, but licensed restaurants in the same neighborhoods still face inspections, citations, and shutdowns. The county's stated reason: "safety concerns for our staff arising out of federal immigration enforcement actions." The result is a two-tiered system in which legal operators absorb every cost of compliance while unlicensed competitors sell food feet away, unregulated and untouched. And the people left holding the bag are the small-business owners, legal immigrants, and taxpayers who followed every rule the government wrote. A Breitbart News investigation that included interviews with roughly a dozen vendors laid out the…Open

AMERICANALMANAC (Sadie Smith) - Oxford scientists prepare to inject UK volunteers with Ebola vaccine as deadly outbreak claims 100 lives per week

University of Oxford researchers are recruiting 50 British volunteers to receive injections of an experimental Ebola vaccine, the first designed to fight the rare Bundibugyo strain now tearing through central Africa. The Phase 1 trial, approved by Britain's Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency after animal testing, could begin within weeks, the Daily Mail reported.

University of Oxford researchers are recruiting 50 British volunteers to receive injections of an experimental Ebola vaccine, the first designed to fight the rare Bundibugyo strain now tearing through central Africa. The Phase 1 trial, approved by Britain's Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency after animal testing, could begin within weeks, the Daily Mail reported . The urgency is hard to overstate. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention logged 100 fatalities in the first week of July alone. The wider epidemic has now killed approximately 645 people and produced nearly 1,800 confirmed cases, most of them in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where armed conflict has crippled the health-care response. No approved…Open

AMERICANALMANAC (Ken Jacobs) - Grey's Anatomy actress Leven Rambin hospitalized in ICU after emergency surgery complication

Actress Leven Rambin, known for her role as Sloan Riley on Grey's Anatomy, shared from a hospital bed that a routine endometriosis procedure went badly wrong, leaving her in the ICU with a scar she described as "the size of my forearm" after surgeons nicked her aorta.

Actress Leven Rambin, known for her role as Sloan Riley on Grey's Anatomy, shared from a hospital bed that a routine endometriosis procedure went badly wrong, leaving her in the ICU with a scar she described as "the size of my forearm" after surgeons nicked her aorta. The 36-year-old Texas native had gone in for a planned diagnostic and removal surgery for endometriosis, a painful condition affecting millions of American women. She came out facing an emergency operation and a long recovery. The Sun reported on Rambin's Instagram posts documenting the ordeal, including a selfie in a hospital gown and images of an IV drip in her hand. Rambin did not name the hospital or the surgeon involved. No facility has issued a public statement. …Open

AMERICANALMANAC (Ken Jacobs) - Kris Humphries builds fried chicken franchise empire after leaving NBA and Kardashian fame behind

Kris Humphries spent 13 seasons in the NBA and 72 days married to Kim Kardashian. Only one of those experiences made him a household name, and it wasn't the basketball. Now 41, the former power forward has traded arenas and tabloid drama for something considerably more grounded: a fast-growing chain of Dave's Hot Chicken restaurants […] The post Kris Humphries builds fried chicken franchise empire after leaving NBA and Kardashian fame behind appeared first on American Almanac .

Kris Humphries spent 13 seasons in the NBA and 72 days married to Kim Kardashian. Only one of those experiences made him a household name, and it wasn't the basketball. Now 41, the former power forward has traded arenas and tabloid drama for something considerably more grounded: a fast-growing chain of Dave's Hot Chicken restaurants across his home state of Minnesota. It is, by any fair measure, a better second act than most people get after a very public humiliation, and a useful reminder that not everyone who brushes against the Kardashian machine comes out diminished. Page Six reported that Humphries opened his first Dave's Hot Chicken franchise in Minnesota in 2023, near Hopkins High School, where he grew up. He had signed on to…Open

AMERICANALMANAC (Sadie Smith) - Tom Cruise bets big on a radical departure in Iñárritu's 'Digger'

Tom Cruise showed up at the Warner Bros. lot in Los Angeles last week not to jump off a building, hang from a plane, or sprint through an explosion. He was there to sell something far riskier: a comedy about an aging oil magnate whose recklessness may have doomed the planet.

Tom Cruise showed up at the Warner Bros. lot in Los Angeles last week not to jump off a building, hang from a plane, or sprint through an explosion. He was there to sell something far riskier: a comedy about an aging oil magnate whose recklessness may have doomed the planet. The trailer for "Digger," directed by two-time Academy Award winner Alejandro González Iñárritu, dropped on July 13. But Cruise wasn't content to let the footage speak for itself. He hosted a special presentation for press, film critics, and fans, previewing extended footage and sitting for a Q&A moderated by film journalist Kevin McCarthy. Iñárritu, still in the United Kingdom finishing the sound mix, joined by video message. The result is the most dramatic…Open

AMERICANALMANAC (Charles McAdams) - Rolling Stones biographer reveals band members' vastly different romantic lives — and one staggering tally

Bill Wyman stopped counting at 1,800. Keith Richards held up four fingers. And Mick Jagger figured his number landed somewhere in the hundreds. That was the scene, biographer Bob Spitz tells it, when three aging Rolling Stones sat down one day to compare notes on the women who had passed through their lives. The anecdote […] The post Rolling Stones biographer reveals band members' vastly different romantic lives — and one staggering tally appeared first on American Almanac .

Bill Wyman stopped counting at 1,800. Keith Richards held up four fingers. And Mick Jagger figured his number landed somewhere in the hundreds. That was the scene, biographer Bob Spitz tells it, when three aging Rolling Stones sat down one day to compare notes on the women who had passed through their lives. The anecdote anchors a broader portrait in Spitz's new book, "The Rolling Stones: The Biography," which peels back decades of carefully cultivated rock-and-roll mythology to reveal just how differently each member of the world's most famous band lived behind the curtain. The picture that emerges is less a uniform tale of excess than a study in contrasts, and, in several cases, a record of conduct that no amount of guitar riffs should…Open

Who Killed Seth Rich? The Questions That Still Remain Roger Stone and Congressman Tim Burchett discuss their demands for transparency regarding the 2016 death of Seth Rich, challenging the official narrative that his murder was a botched robbery. They suggest that the FBI previously withheld thousands of pages of relevant documents and argue that the case may be linked to internal leaks from the DNC rather than a foreign cyberattack. The conversation expands into a broader critique of a corrupted “deep state” and the perceived lack of integrity within federal agencies and national elections. Congressman Tim Burchett wants to know. He joins The Roger Stone Show on 77WABC Radio Today! Joins The StoneZONE on 77 WABC LISTEN LIVE — 8…Open

What’s Next in Iran? Regional Tensions and the Road Ahead Roger Stone and technology entrepreneur Rod Martin engage in a geopolitical analysis centered on a hypothetical second term for Donald Trump. The discussion highlights a strategic military approach to Iran, where the speakers claim the administration is successfully fostering internal factional conflict and targeting specific revolutionary guard units rather than national infrastructure to prepare for a “free Iran.” Shifting to international alliances, the pair critiques NATO’s current utility, arguing that European nations have failed to meet their financial obligations while the U.S. successfully pressured allies and utilized deep-strike capabilities to force Russia…Open

DAILYCALLER (Amber Duke) - DUKE: The Viral Black Woman On The Metro’s Biggest Threat Isn’t Patriot Front

The real story the media missed

Hey y’all, welcome back to Unfit to Print. The media found its modern Rosa Parks, but the real story is much darker. VIRAL AND ABANDONED A Reuters photo went viral this week showing a black woman sitting alone on the Metro among a crowd of Patriot Front members after their Fourth of July demonstration in Washington, DC. It was catnip for the press. A black woman sitting quietly. A group of masked white nationalists surrounding her. Some called it the “defining image” of our time. Others said it was the modern-day representation of the Civil Rights era. There’s no evidence that members of Patriot Front threatened her, approached her or even spoke to her. And once she was identified, it seemed she was less a defiant hero than…Open
