Without warning, the buffalo burst from cover at 35mph and fatally struck Watkins, killing him almost instantly.

    A Quebec Superior Court judge has authorized a class-action lawsuit by victims of brainwashing experiments conducted at the Allan Memorial Institute in Montreal, experiments infamous for their affiliation with the CIA-funded MK-Ultra program. The lawsuit names the Royal Victoria Hospital, McGill University, and the Government of Canada as defendants. They allege that the government funded, and the Royal Victoria Hospital and McGill University enabled, "depatterning treatments" that violated the patients' bodies and minds. The patients claimed that the Cold War-era experiments, conducted by Dr. Ewen Cameron at the Allan Memorial Institute (AKA the Montreal Experiments') were carried out without their consent or even their knowledge. Judge Dominique Poulin authorized two patients, Julie Tanny and Lana Ponting, to represent all persons who underwent depatterning treatments at the Allan Memorial Institute between 1948 and 1964 and their successors, family members, and dependents.

Shelly Willingham of Edgecombe County, Cecil Brockman of Guilford County and Carla D. Cunningham and Nasif Majeed, both of Mecklenburg County.

    The popularity of the Republican Party has fallen to the lowest level in two years, a new poll has suggested. According to polling by YouGov, the proportion of people who intend to vote for GOP candidates in a hypothetical Congressional election has declined to 38.4 percent, the lowest it has been since July 18, 2023 when 38.3 percent of people said they would support Republican candidates. The August 4 poll showed that 43.7 percent said they would vote for Democratic candidates. This means Democrats are leading Republicans by six points. In July 2023, when 38.3 percent of people said they would vote for GOP candidates, the proportion of people who indicated support for Democrats was 41.5 percent, a lead of 3.2 percent. Therefore, the gap between Democrats and Republicans is increasing.


    Donald Trump claims America is "the hottest country anywhere in the world". On Wall Street, there are plenty of signs that this is true. But underneath the gloss of an artificial intelligence boom and surging Wall Street profits, all is not well. America is grappling with an alarming jobs slowdown, a frozen housing market, a small business crunch and crumbling consumer confidence. The US president may have delivered a booming stock market, but economists warn he is pushing many sectors into recession. His working class Maga support base will be the worst hit.
