WATCH: Trump Slams Leftist Reporter for Failing to Acknowledge Murders in Chicago – “You Know how Many People were Killed in Chicago Last Weekend?” | The Gateway Pundit


President Trump on Tuesday responded to a reporter criticizing him for planning to target crime and illegals in cities like Boston and Chicago. 

“Why target Chicago and Boston when there are cities with higher crime rates?” the reporter asked.

He pointed to the last two weekends of violence in Chicago, which left at least 15 killed and nearly 100 injured in shootings.

“You think there’s worse than that? I don’t think so,” Trump said.

WATCH:

Reporter: Why target Chicago and Boston when there are cities with higher crime rates?

Trump: Why? Really, higher than Chicago? Excuse me, do you know how many people were killed in Chicago last weekend? Eight. You know how many people were killed in Chicago the week before? Seven. You know how many people were wounded? 74 people were wounded. You think there’s worse than that? I don’t think so.

Meanwhile, Trump has signaled plans to go after New Orleans, Louisiana, and Baltimore, Maryland, after he practically ended crime in Washington, DC. These are also three cities with some of the highest murder rates.

According to the Hill, the ten cities with the highest murder rates are Jackson, MS; Birmingham, AL; St. Louis, MO; Memphis, TN; Baltimore, MD; Detroit, MI; Cleveland, OH; Louisville, KY; Indianapolis, IN; and Oakland, CA. A common theme is that all of the mayors are Democrats.

Additionally, all but four of these cities, St Louis, Louisville, Indianapolis, and Oakland, are majority black cities, leaving the question of why these Democratic mayors, many of whom are black, are leaving their black population to live in such danger. When the left attacks Trump for “targeting black mayors,” they’re really attacking him for protecting black people.

President Trump should deploy the National Guard to these cities immediately and do what the Democrats refuse to do.

Trump faced other questions on Chicago earlier, with one reporter ridiculously implying he is “threatening to go to war with Chicago.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump smoked the “second-rate” reporter, calling her “fake news” and defending his decision to go into Chicago to stop the killing.

Covid positive tests hit 10-month high among hospital patient – symptoms to watch out for


The number of positive COVID-19 tests among hospital patients has hit its highest level in 10 months, figures show. In England, the proportion of hospital patients with respiratory symptoms who tested positive for coronavirus reached 9.3% on August 29.

This is the highest hospital positivity rate since October 30 and 55% higher than it was a month earlier, according to data from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). Experts have told The i Paper that the hospital positivity rate is much higher than for the population as a whole and is not the same as the figure for those admitted to wards due to the virus. Professor Lawrence Young, a virologist at the University of Warwick, told the same publication that it wasn’t surprising positivity rates were at a 10-month high.

He said a combination of the return to work and school after the summer holidays on top of cooler weather and waning immunity will have contributed to an increase in the virus’s spread.

Mr Young said the same factors would be made worse as new variants of the virus develop and access to the free autumn-winter vaccine booster is limited to those aged 75 and over and the most clinically vulnerable.

A new strain of Covid has been circulating in Britain since August, making up a significant proportion of cases in England.

Stratus has two variants: XFG and XFG.3. Experts suggested the newer variant has a unique symptom compared with other strains in that it can lead people to develop a hoarse voice.

While it accounted for a proportion of new cases last month, experts appeared unconcerned by its having developed.

Dr Alex Allen, consultant epidemiologist of UKHSA said: “It is normal for viruses to mutate and change over time.”

The World Health Organisation designated XFG as a variant “under monitoring”. It said the additional public health risk it poses is evaluated as low at the worldwide level.

It also said data did not indicate the variant led to more severe illness or deaths compared with other Covid variants in circulation.

COVID-19 symptoms include: a high temperature or shivering; a new, continuous cough; loss or change to your sense of smell or taste; shortness of breath and feeling tired or exhausted.

Other symptoms are: an aching body, headache, a sore throat, a blocked or runny nose, loss of appetite, diarrhoea, feeling sick or being sick.

The symptoms are very similar to those of other illnesses, such as colds and flu, according to the NHS.

OPEC+ agrees to further boost oil output to regain market share

OPEC+ agrees to further boost oil output to regain market share

OPEC+ has agreed to further raise oil production beginning in October as leader Saudi Arabia pushes to regain market share, while slowing the pace of increases compared with previous months due to an anticipated weakening of global demand.

OPEC+ has been increasing production since April after years of cuts to support the oil market, but the Sunday decision to further boost output came as a surprise amid a likely looming oil glut in the northern hemisphere winter months.

Eight members of OPEC+ agreed in an online meeting on Sunday to raise production from October by 137,000 barrels per day, it said in a statement, much lower than the monthly increases of about 555,000 bpd for September and August and 411,000 bpd in July and June.

OPEC+ members voted to raise oil production by 137,000 barrels per day beginning next month. AP

The Sunday deal also means OPEC+ has begun to unwind a second tranche of cuts of about 1.65 million bpd by eight members more than a year ahead of schedule. The group has already fully unwound the first tranche of 2.5 million bpd since April, equivalent to about 2.4% of global demand.

“The barrels may be small, but the message is big,” said Jorge Leon, analyst at Rystad and a former OPEC official. “The increase is less about volumes and more about signaling – OPEC+ is prioritizing market share even if it risks softer prices.”

OPEC+, made up of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries plus Russia and other allies, found it easy to raise production when demand was growing in summer, but the real test will come in the fourth quarter with expected slowing demand, Leon said.

OPEC+ said it retained options to accelerate, pause or reverse hikes at future meetings. It scheduled the next meeting of the eight countries for Oct. 5.

OPEC’s output increases this year have come as leader Saudi Arabia has sought to punish other members for overproduction. Kommersant

OPEC’s output increases this year also come as Saudi Arabia has sought to punish other members such as Kazakhstan for overproducing, and as the United Arab Emirates has built new capacity and sought higher targets.

Earlier this year, President Trump put pressure on the group to boost output as he sought to fulfill his election promise to bring down domestic gasoline prices.

Oil prices have been at around $65 a barrel, bolstered by Western sanctions on Russia and Iran. EPA

The increases in output have led to a fall in oil prices of around 15% so far this year, pushing oil companies’ profits to their lowest since the pandemic and triggering tens of thousands of job cuts.

Oil prices have not collapsed, however, trading at around $65 a barrel, supported by Western sanctions on Russia and Iran. That has emboldened OPEC+ to continue increasing output.

OPEC+’s hikes have fallen short of the pledged amounts because most members are pumping near capacity.

As a result, only Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are able to add more barrels into the market, analysts have said and data have shown.

OPEC+ had two layers of cuts before the Sunday deal — the 1.65 million bpd cut by the eight members, and another 2 million bpd cut by the whole group in place until the end of 2026.

Sukarno helped free Indonesia after 350 years of Dutch rule — it’s about time he gets some respect

Sukarno helped free Indonesia after 350 years of Dutch rule — it’s about time he gets some respect

80 years and still fighting

Indonesia is celebrating 80 years of independence from the Dutch.

“Sukarno, my late father, was its founding father,” says Kartika Soekarno, my godchild whose son is now studying in an American university.

The name Gandhi includes monumental honors in London, yet Sukarno’s name stays largely unknown to Dutch youth.

Kartika: “The Dutch accused him of being a collaborator and Communist. The word collaborator has sordid resonance. When Japan invaded our country, the Dutch left us without means to defend ourselves.

“Eisenhower led an anti-Communist campaign. Neutrality was considered immoral. Colonialism, challenged by American imperialism, meant independent nations trying to protect national interests — not serve the US.

“Indonesia was made to compensate Holland for ‘losses,’ including war costs — in effect, for killing our own people. The Hague insisted the new republic shoulder the East Indies’ debt — about 25 billion euros today.

“The independence struggle after 350 years of Dutch colonialism was minimized. The father of our nation arrested, denied medical care, prevented from his family.

“Today, rehabilitated Bapak (Father) is revered. Holland recognized 1945 as the year of Indonesia’s independence. [Dutch] King Willem-Alexander apologized for ‘excessive violence’ during the war of independence.”

Unfinished biz

Sukarno never set foot on Dutch soil. Was never invited to the Netherlands. His life was conditioned by a European country he could never visit. He overthrew Dutch rule — but 80 years after independence is still mistrusted.

Kartika: “Indonesia is the world’s fourth-largest nation, third-biggest democracy, largest Muslim community, first to proclaim independence after World War II. Today, Amsterdam has 70 streets named for Indonesian islands — only eight for Indonesian persons. Not right. It’s as if the land still belongs to the Netherlands. Not what my father fought for.

“The colonial system remains an unfinished revolution if Holland won’t recognize the father of our nation as our most significant freedom fighter and to give our land the rightful place it deserves in its global awareness.”

It’s personal

Cindy: As to how I became involved: Before joining the NY Post, I was a reporter in Asia. Sukarno knew me and went to Howard P. Jones, our then-American ambassador, to ask the State Dept. to organize my coming back and forth to write his story. His autobiography as-told-to-me took years. My husband often came with me on the country’s Garuda Airlines. Home was a suite in the then-Indonesia Hotel. To commemorate the nation’s history, last week a gamelan troupe — the country’s indigenous dancers and musicians — staged a performance in NYC.

After leaving office our former president will spend most of his time completing his Biden Presidential Library. To give the place maximum authenticity he’s installing a confessional, two interns, a dry cleaner and a mike for his wife.

Only in DC, kids, only in DC.

The Real Reason Why Cardi B Declined Super Bowl Halftime Gig

The Real Reason Why Cardi B Declined Super Bowl Halftime Gig


Just weeks before the release of her new album, Am I the Drama?, Cardi B revealed that she has turned down the NFL Superbowl Halftime show. This is not the first time that Cardi B rejected Super Bowl-related gigs. According to People, the UP Singer shared the real reason why she declined the Super Bowl halftime gig.

Cardi B passes on Super Bowl stage until she’s even bigger

The Grammy-winning rapper shared that she wants to wait until she feels that the time is right. This is why Cardi B rejected the Superbowl offer. “I got asked to do the Superbowl and I said no,” the mom of 3 revealed. She said, “I feel like when I finally do it, I’ll have more hits, I’ll be more seasoned, and I’ll be ready to own that stage completely.”

This isn’t Cardi B’s first time walking away from doesn’t align with her. In early 2019, the singer offered support to former NFL player, Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick famously took a kneel to protest racial injustice as the national anthem was performed. At the time, she explained that she stood with him because he “stood up for minorities.”

Since her “Invasion of Privacy” debut in 2018, the BET award winner has proved her worth. The record not only debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200, but also held for 156 weeks on the chart. It became the first album in history to have every track certified platinum or higher. With bangers like “I like it” and “Bodak Yellow”, the record earned her a Grammy for Best Rap Album. This made her the third woman ever to win in this category, after Doechii and Lauryn Hill.

Her decision to wait on the Super Bowl stage aligns with her desire for powerful and unique portrayal of her art. As Cardi B gears up for the release of her upcoming album, she shared that this album feels very different to her. “It’s a whole vibe,” she told Billboard, “I am completely confident in this album.” She added that she feels that there “isn’t anything like it is out there right now.”

As for her aspirations? The “Please me” singer isn’t about chasing trophies right now. She is all about her redefined mantra of success. For her, success will be when people say, “She delivered a great album.”

Recession warning: just a few industries are driving job growth, Zandi says

Recession warning: just a few industries are driving job growth, Zandi says


Vital signs for the labor market indicate that it’s getting sicker, and the healthcare sector is one of the few that is keep it from looking even worse.

The latest jobs report revealed the U.S. economy added just 22,000 jobs in August with revisions to prior months showing June actually saw a decline. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate edged up to a four-year high of 4.3%.

In a note on Saturday, Torsten Sløk, chief economist at Apollo Global Management, observed that job growth in tariff-impacted sectors is negative. Manufacturers alone cut 12,000 workers last month.

By contrast, the health care and social assistance sectors added 46,800 jobs, while the leisure and hospitality industry added 28,000. In fact, they have been doing the heavy lifting throughout the year, a trend that concerns Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics.

“What’s perhaps most disconcerting about the flagging job market is how dependent it is on healthcare and hospitality for what little job growth is occurring,” he wrote on X on Sunday. “Since the beginning of the year, the economy has created a paltry 600k jobs, but without the job growth in these industries, there would be zero job growth.”

The year-to-date gains of the health care and social assistance sectors plus the leisure and hospitality industry total 855,900, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, meaning the economy would actually be in the hole by more than 250,000 jobs if not for those groups.

Zandi also pointed out that less than half of the industries tracked by BLS have added to payrolls over the past six months, adding that “this only happens when the economy is in recession.”

The diffusion index in the jobs report gauges the concentration of growth. A reading below 50 means more industries cut jobs than added. In August, it was 49.6, and the three-month average was 47.9.

‘Jobs recession’

Zandi has been steadily ringing alarms bells on the economy. Last month, after the shockingly bad July jobs report, he warned that “the economy is on the precipice of recession,” pointing to weak consumer spending and shrinkage in construction and manufacturing.

After the August jobs report was released on Friday, Zandi told Fortune’s Eva Roytburg that the economy is on the edge of recession and may already be in one.

He called the revision to June, which showed a loss of 13,000 jobs, especially significant as downturns are typically dated back to the first month of payroll declines.

Meanwhile, long-term unemployment has ticked higher over the past year, and more than 6 million people outside the labor force now say they want a job, up from roughly 5.7 million about a year ago, according to the BLS.

“This really feels like a jobs recession,” Zandi told Fortune. “Employment is flat to down. Output and incomes are still growing, but the economy is incredibly vulnerable. Nothing else can go wrong, or it could tip us into a full downturn.”

To be sure, the economy remains in positive territory for now. GDP expanded by 3.3% in the second quarter, and the Atlanta Fed’s GDP tracker shows the third quarter is on pace for a 3% increase.

Earlier on Sunday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was asked to respond to Zandi’s jobs recession comment.

In an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press with Kristen Welker, he said policies are in place that will create good, high-paying jobs. Bessent also said payroll data collected in August has historically been prone to big revisions later, and he blamed the Federal Reserve for not cutting rates sooner.

“President Trump was elected for change, and we are going to push through with the economic policies that are going to set the economy right. I believe by the fourth quarter, we’re going to see a substantial acceleration,” he predicted.

After a tough start to the year, Tesla shares appear to be back on track. Time to buy?

After a tough start to the year, Tesla shares appear to be back on track. Time to buy?


Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) shares have been volatile in 2025, but this week brought signs of recovery. The stock gained ground on Wednesday (3 September) and into early Thursday trading after the company reported strong sales momentum in key international markets.

The $1trn automotive and robotics giant delivered 83,192 vehicles in August — a 22.5% jump from July and its best wholesale month of the year. A particular highlight was Turkey, where sales of the Model Y surged to 8,730 units, an 86% increase from the prior month.

But the picture was less rosy elsewhere. Tesla continues to see softer sales in India and ongoing declines across several European markets. UK sales are down 5.5% so far in 2025. Meanwhile, competition from Chinese rival BYD is intensifying. 

In Europe, BYD reported 13,503 new registrations during July, a year-on-year rise of 225% and almost six times higher than Tesla’s comparable growth rate.

Still, the company continues to grab headlines for more than just its cars.

Positive developments

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff recently praised Tesla’s robotics programme after visiting its factory, highlighting the Optimus humanoid robot project. Elon Musk has said the firm expects to sell significant quantities of artificial intelligence (AI)-trained robots in 2026. 

In addition, Tesla has finally launched its long-awaited robotaxi app on the Apple iStore, opening the door to potential new revenue streams in mobility services.

The broader economic backdrop might also be bullish. US job market data has weakened, with unemployment ticking higher. This has fuelled speculation that the Federal Reserve may be forced to cut interest rates, which could lift growth stocks like Tesla. 

On a lighter note, Musk reportedly failed to secure an invite to a White House tech meeting, suggesting he’s at least back to focusing on the company rather than political distractions.

Financials

Tesla remains a paradox. With a $1trn market-cap, it’s the world’s largest automotive business by value, yet it also looks the most expensive. The forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio sits at an extraordinary 197. By comparison, many established carmakers trade on single-digit multiples.

Revenue’s fallen 2.73% year on year and earnings have slid 51.5% — broadly in line with the industry’s global slowdown. Only a handful of peers, such as Ferrari and Suzuki, have managed to post positive earnings growth recently. 

Margins remain thin and profitability is modest, but Tesla does benefit from a solid balance sheet and strong cash flow, which gives it resilience in turbulent times.

Is Tesla a buy for me?

Wall Street remains divided. Among 38 analysts, the average price target for Tesla shares is $313.91, with a bullish high estimate of $500 and a bearish low of $115. 

That spread highlights just how polarising the stock remains – and understandably so. Any small slip – a robotaxi mishap or lack of interest in Optimus – could send the share price tumbling again.

But overall, I think the mix of strong international demand, progress in robotics and a possible rate cut make Tesla shares still worth considering at today’s levels. 

The price remains down 10% since the start of the year, so any investor who believes in Musk’s vision may see this as an opportunity to pick up some shares before the next rally.

Personally, I don’t plan to buy just yet — but I’ll keep a close eye on those robots.

Apple may twin with Gemini for AI as iPhone 17 looms – Computerworld



AI aside, with services income now looking a lot more stable subsequent to the Google judgment and hardware sales seemingly given some protection against threatened US import tariffs, “Apple still needs to execute, but the path to outperformance is getting clearer to us, and what will matter most at next week’s iPhone launch event is pricing, a still under-appreciated growth tailwind,” said Woodring in a client note seen by Computerworld.

But is patience wearing thin?

Apple’s audience appears ready, but the company’s much-publicized stumbles around AI seem to be beginning to get under their skin, according to a SellCell survey. That survey tells us almost seventy percent (68.3%) of US iPhone owners plan to upgrade to the new devices, but 27.1% of them feel Apple has “lost its edge” against rivals.

There’s also a lot hinging (sorry) on Apple’s foldable iPhone next year, with 30.3% of iPhone users thinking about moving to another brand if Apple doesn’t get that product out. In other words, while Apple still enjoys spectacular customer loyalty, that faith is being tested — and what the company comes up with over the next 12 months could define the future of its business.

Microsoft's cloud service restored after reports of cut cables in the Red Sea


Microsoft said its Azure cloud platform has returned to normal service after an incident of cut underwater cables that played out over Saturday. The tech giant reported "undersea fiber cuts" in the Red Sea on Saturday morning, which disrupted Azure service throughout the Middle East and led to potential "increased latency" for users. Microsoft said that the latency issue was resolved by Saturday evening and was able to reroute the Azure traffic through other paths.

Microsoft didn't provide a reason for why the undersea cables were cut. These cables sit on the ocean floor and play the crucial role of delivering massive amounts of data across the world. While ships dropping anchors can sometimes damage undersea cables, there have been more intentional circumstances in the past. In 2024, the internationally recognized government of Yemen claimed that the country's Houthi movement was responsible for cutting cables in the Red Sea. While Microsoft managed to restore service for its latest episode the same day, it also noted that undersea cable cuts "can take time to repair" and that it "will continuously monitor, rebalance, and optimize routing to reduce customer impact in the meantime."
