New Business:

1:Kyiv launched its surprise incursion into Russia’s Kursk region August 2024, taking Moscow by surprise and quickly advancing some 30 kilometers (19 miles) from the border. But the campaign slowed and, on Thursday, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that Russia had launched “counteroffensive actions.” The Russian Ministry of Defense said Russian forces had “penetrated” into the Kursk region, capturing 10 settlements.

2:In August 2024, Israel human rights organization B'Tselem released a report on systematic Israeli abuse, torture, sexual violence and rape of Palestinian detainees, calling the Israeli prison system a ''network of torture camps.'' The report includes extensive testimonies from Palestinians.

3:Climate changes rages the World thru June 2024 with 14.5% of the world's surface having a record-high June temperature, exceeding the previous June record set in 2023 by 7.4%. A sunken village in Greece has re-emerged as heatwaves and a lack of rainfall have led to the artificial lake surrounding it to recede.
A huge wildfire has destroyed 20% of a forest in the Brazilian capital, Brasilia. Officials think the fire in the National Forest of Brasilia, a 5,600-hectare conservation area, was started by arsonists.
So far in July 2024, the USA has the second-highest number of tornado reports (1,264) of any year in the past 15 years. We’ve also seen very high numbers of hailstorms (4,108 — the fifth most active year) and damaging windstorms (8,978 — the second most).

Increasing accumulation of AT&T , Walgreens Boot Alliance and PEY again.

Inflation has level off at high levels above the Fed target of 2%. War has not cause a usage uptick as China is in an industry slowdown. Hurricanes did not cause closures as I predicted, so far. The War did not cause OPEC to stick together and ramp up prices. But stay tuned as these ''abnormal scenarios'' reach reality.

==========================================================

Mid year pricing and wages are still up, but worker shortages are not being meet with immigration creating a slow down in skills needed. AI has proven it was a false flag on corporate balance sheets. Presidential and local elections are looking to move the USA back to democratic ideals but moderate at best.
