END


It is clear that the Supreme Court’s Historic Decision on Immunity demands and requires a Complete and Total Dismissal of ALL the Witch Hunts — The January 6th Hoax in Washington, D.C., the Manhattan D.A.’s Zombie Case, the New York A.G. Scam, Fake Claims about a woman I never met (a 40 year old photo in a line with her then husband does not count!), and the Georgia “Perfect” Phone Call charges. The Democrat Justice Department coordinated ALL of these Political Attacks, which are an Election Interference Conspiracy against Crazy Kamala Harris and Crooked Joe Biden’s Political Opponent, ME. Let us come together to END all Weaponization of our Justice System, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

NAGASAKI, Japan (Kyodo) -- Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Friday canceled his planned four-day trip to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Mongolia, as the weather agency warned that the risk of a potential massive earthquake in a vast area of the Pacific stretching from southwestern to central Japan has increased.
The Japan Meteorological Agency issued the first such advisory for areas around the Nankai Trough hours after a magnitude-7.1 quake hit the country's southwest on Thursday.
After attending a peace ceremony in Nagasaki marking the 79th anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombing, Kishida said at a news conference in the city that he canceled the foreign trip to "focus on the government's response and information dissemination" regarding a potential megaquake.

Evergrande in the news‼️

Aug 9 (Reuters) - China Evergrande's (3333.HK)

liquidators have invited investors interested in restructuring the heavily indebted property developer or any of its parts, it said in a filing on Friday.
The move comes as the liquidators do not currently see a path to restructuring that would allow Evergrande to resume trading of its shares due to its high debt and business challenges, the company said.
The liquidation process is the result of a Hong Kong court order after the company that was once China's largest property developer failed to restructure $23 billion in offshore debt. Its total liabilities stood at more than $300 billion.
Since the Chinese property sector plunged into a debt crisis in 2021, numerous high profile developers such as Shimao (0813.HK)

Ripple is excited to announce we have begun beta testing Ripple USD (RLUSD) on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and Ethereum mainnet. This is a significant milestone and a step closer to bringing more high-quality assets to the XRPL, driving new opportunities, liquidity, and institutional use cases for users, developers, and applications. The mainnet version of Ripple USD is also available on Ethereum, with plans to expand to additional blockchains and decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols over time. 
Ripple USD is currently in its beta phase and is being rigorously tested by our enterprise partners. This phase is crucial for ensuring that the stablecoin meets the highest standards of security, efficiency, and reliability before it becomes widely available, and after receipt of regulatory approval. Consequently, Ripple USD is not available for purchase or trading at this time.
Until then, please be cautious of crypto scams which may exploit Ripple’s brand and purport to have early access to sell Ripple USD, which is not available at this time.
Ripple USD is valued 1:1 to the US dollar (USD) and 100% backed by US dollar deposits, short-term US government treasuries, and other cash equivalents. These reserve assets will be audited by a third-party accounting firm, and Ripple will publish monthly attestations.
Ripple is committed to transparency and will keep the community updated on the progress of Ripple USD. We appreciate your patience and enthusiasm as we work towards making RLUSD a robust and reliable stablecoin for everyone. Together, we are shaping the future of digital finance.
