[Bus Insider] Jeffrey Epstein hired accountants to help manage his financial life. In court documents, Harry Beller is all over his financial records.
Harry Beller worked for Jeffrey Epstein for 22 years as a personal accountant.
His large cash withdrawals were the subject of at least four JPMorgan Suspicious Activity Reports.
Congress and lawyers in civil lawsuits want to know about Beller's role in Epstein's financial life.
Harry Beller isn't one of the boldfaced names who can be found all over Jeffrey Epstein's social calendar and emails, like former Barclays CEO Jes Staley, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, or Prince Andrew.
But for years, Beller was entrusted with managing some of the most delicate parts of Epstein's financial life.
Beller was part of a tight-knit team working for Epstein, who killed himself in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. He worked under the direction of Richard Kahn, Epstein's top in-house accountant.

I notice Trump is lumped into the same group as Clinton and (former) Prince Andrew - names who can be found all over Jeffrey Epstein's social calendar and emails
People 'who', names 'which' - n'est pa?

[FortWorthStarTelegram] A man is believed to have shot his romantic partner and a bystander in a Dallas Walmart parking lot before killing himself Wednesday afternoon, police sources told Star-Telegram media partner WFAA-TV.
The shooting was reported about 3:40 p.m. outside the Walmart Supercenter in the 9300 block of Forest Lane, near Interstate 635.
The victims were grazed by gunfire and the suspect was found dead in a car from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound, police told WFAA.
The two women who were maimed were taken to a hospital, according to Dallas Fire-Rescue.

How is this possible 🤔?
Everyone knows Wally World has been a declared gun Free Zone for ages.

I've personally seen open carry inside a Maine Wal-mart store. A couple of years ago a couple of good ol boys busted up an attempted kidnapping in the Wal-mart parking lot in Augusta.

A pyroclastic flow (also known as a pyroclastic density current or a pyroclastic cloud)[1] is a fast-moving current of hot gas and volcanic matter (collectively known as tephra) that flows along the ground away from a volcano at average speeds of 100 km/h (30 m/s; 60 mph; 90 ft/s) but is capable of reaching speeds up to 700 km/h (190 m/s; 430 mph; 640 ft/s).[2] The gases and tephra can reach temperatures of about 1,000 °C (1,800 °F).

Watching the video, I notice the idiot in the Truck whizzing pass the cameras towards the flow. I started to wonder if they'll find him seated in the truck a few hundred years from now, like Pompeii residents.

[NYPost] In a startling first, a Washington state man has been infected with a strain of bird flu previously only detected in animals.
The “severely ill” man was hospitalized with a high fever, confusion and respiratory distress earlier this month and confirmed to have H5N5, a subtype of avian influenza carried by wild birds such as ducks and geese.

America has no interest in messing with Maduro’s energy industry. Most likely somebody doesn’t know what they’re doing. Eventually, Maduro is capable of doing what Sadaam did in Kuwait.

It's only "advanced" because it is new, but it repurposes decades exisiting Navy Mk 41 VLS cells for land basing. There are roughly 100 such cells on every destroyer and more on our cruisers. No need for anyone to get their knickers in a knot.

[FoxNews] A major national security debate is unfolding, and it affects more than government networks. It touches your home, your devices and the Wi-Fi your family uses every day. The Commerce Department has proposed blocking new sales of TP-Link products after a months-long review into the company’s ties to China, citing a growing TP-Link security risk.
Multiple agencies, including the Departments of Homeland Security and War, supported that proposal. They believe the company’s connections could expose American networks to foreign influence.
Security experts warn that foreign-backed hackers have targeted home and office routers for years. These devices often act as silent steppingstones that help attackers move deeper into sensitive systems. When compromised, they can expose everything connected to them, including computers, smart home gear, military devices used on base and more.
This potential ban would be one of the biggest consumer tech actions in U.S. history. It comes as politicians raise fresh alarms about Chinese-made cameras, routers and connected home products sold on military exchanges and in homes across the country.

Next up will be the C Price Index, I think, next week.
Then BLS will, IIUC, skip the Oct labor report and report on Oct+Nov on Dec 4 or so.
In the meantime we still have the ADP report as well as corporate reports.

[CBS] Many Cook County homeowners are reeling from whopping property tax bills that came out late and much higher than expected. Chicago's south and west sides saw some of the biggest increases as tax bills began arriving in mailboxes the last few days.
In the North Lawndale neighborhood, property tax bills went up on average 98%. In the West Garfield Park neighborhood, the average increase was more than 130%
One of the main reasons for skyrocketing property tax bills for homeowners is because of what's happening downtown, where property taxes collected from commercial businesses dropped $129 million over the past year.
Richard Townsell, of North Lawndale, said his property tax bill went up more than 75%, and he has a friend whose bill jumped 237%
"My wife and I, we had a budget meeting last week as we were looking at this. You know, does that mean maybe we don't take the vacation we thought we were going to take?" he said.
[NYPOST] The House passed a pair of bills Wednesday repealing cashless bail in DC and much of a law passed by the city's council in 2022 that limited cops' use of force — including banning chokeholds — and their ability to collectively negotiate disciplinary actions against them.
The first measure, introduced by Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), would mandate pretrial and post-conviction detention for dangerous or violent crimes and require mandatory cash bail for offenders who pose a threat to public safety in the nation's capital — and it passed in a 237-179 vote.
The other piece of legislation doing away with the DC Council's Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022 sailed through the House in a 233-190 vote.
Stefanik described her bill as a ''precursor'' to an effort aimed at scrapping New York's ''failed bail reform.''
''New Yorkers know that Kathy Hochul's failed bail reform has unleashed a crime wave across our state by emboldening violent criminals and putting law-abiding New Yorkers in harm's way,'' Stefanik told The Post. ''Kathy Hochul's failed bail reform has literally caused murders, assaults, rapes, and heinous crimes to be committed against law-abiding New Yorkers.''
''Today I proudly voted to end cashless bail in DC, which Congress has jurisdiction over, and this is a precursor to next month when Congress will pass my bill to end New York's failed bail reform,'' she added. ''Kathy Hochul is incapable of making New York safe, so I will come over the top of her and pass this in Congress.''
Republicans rallied behind Stefanik's bill, but Democrats claimed DC's current rules for pretrial release largely matched federal law, making the measure needless.

Corruption and lawlessness in DC will always reflect what is present in Congress itself.

"...Republicans rallied behind Stefanik's bill, but Democrats claimed DC's current rules for pretrial release largely matched federal law, making the measure needless.///"
Pretty much true. However, the 2022 DC law could be amended. With Congressional legislation, this becomes not possible unless Congress itself changes the Congressional law.

[YouTube] Singapore, a city state around the same size as New York City, has built one of Southeast Asia’s most advanced militaries. Despite being at peace with its neighbors, Singapore’s defense budget was over $11 billion in 2022, ranking it per capita among the highest in the world.
Singapore has ordered 20 F-35 jets and its navy is increasing its number of submarines to eight, more submarines than both its larger neighbors Malaysia and Indonesia combined.
WSJ takes a closer look at why this small nation is pouring billions into its armed forces.
