Extinction Rebellion activists plan to storm Windsor Castle where the Princess of Wales often spends time as she recovers from cancer and occupy areas that are off limits to the public, MailOnline can reveal.
They also aim to cause mayhem in Windsor town centre by targeting hotels and restaurants as well as shutting down roads as part of a planned three-day mass demonstration.
While the demo has been made known by the group, the tactic of breaking into the castle grounds by hard core members was uncovered by a leading security and risk assessment organisation who infiltrated XR group chats.

Washington, D.C.’s 911 dispatch system is so broken that employees are reportedly being bribed with bonuses just for showing up to work.
Dispatchers reportedly received an email on Tuesday from Heather McGaffin, the director of the city’s Office of Unified Communications (OUC), offering them $800 a month in addition to their salaries if they arrived to work for their scheduled shifts.
“According to OUC, in May, 50 of 66 shifts were properly staffed,” WJLA reported. “In June, only about half — 34 shifts were adequately covered. And by July, records show that only eight of 66 shifts were enough staff to meet emergency needs.”

Progressive policies have driven one more business out of San Francisco, with the city’s last remaining Denny’s permanently closing its doors this month.
After 25 years, the 24-hour Denny’s restaurant near Union Square closed as owner Chris Haque said he held on as long as he could. But a combination of crime, vandalism, lack of business, and customers who would frequently eat and leave without paying left Haque with no choice.
As of Aug. 12, the sign for the Denny’s “that was once California’s most expensive” was painted over, according to SFGate.
“We’re the only store left, and we operated until the last day that we could,” Haque said.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. addressed rumors that he may be looking to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris in exchange for a position in a hypothetical Harris administration.
Early Thursday, he took to X to shut down suspicions that he may be looking to throw his weight behind the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee, saying that he still plans to continue his own campaign and will “defeat her.” [Tweet]
“VP Harris’s Democratic Party would be unrecognizable to my father and uncle and I cannot reconcile it with my values. The Democratic Party of RFK and JFK was the party of civil liberties and free speech,” he wrote.

Former President Donald Trump unveiled a pledge on Wednesday to fight inflation by cutting energy prices in half, securing the borders from illegal immigration, bringing supply chains back to U.S. soil, and reducing regulatory burdens on American businesses.
In remarks that drew a sharp contrast to the policies of the Biden-Harris administration, Trump told an audience in Asheville, North Carolina, that he would cut energy costs in half, restore home affordability by securing borders and deporting illegal immigrants, impose 10 to 20 percent tariffs on imports from countries he accused of taking advantage of the U.S., and end taxes on tips and Social Security income.

Republican vice presidential nominee and Marine veteran Sen. JD Vance (OH) torched Democrat vice presidential nominee Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for lying about his military service at a Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) post in Pennsylvania on Thursday.
“We’re not attacking his honorable service. We’re attacking the dishonesty about that service. That is not honorable. That is the height of dishonor, and Tim Walz should not be the vice president of the United States because of it,” Vance said. [Tweet, video]
Walz, who served 24 years as a reservist with the Army National Guard, has falsely claimed he “retired command sergeant major,” or an E-9,

Peter Marshall, the actor and singer turned game show host who played straight man to the stars for 16 years on “The Hollywood Squares,” has died. He was 98.
He died Thursday of kidney failure at his home in the Encino neighborhood of Los Angeles, publicist Harlan Boll said.
Marshall helped define the form of the smooth, professional, but never-too-serious modern game show host on more than 5,000 episodes of the series that ran on NBC from 1966 to 1981.
But he was often closer to a talk show host, and the tic-tac-toe game the contestants played, while real, was all an excuse for a good time. The questions Marshall posed to regulars

Representative Jim Banks (R-IN) has called on Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to launch an immediate investigation into Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s repeated visits to China during his tenure with the Nebraska and Minnesota National Guards.
Banks’ letter to the Pentagon raises serious concerns about whether Walz, a former senior enlisted service member, properly reported his frequent foreign travels, potentially putting national security at risk.
Walz, who served in the National Guard for nearly 24 years, reportedly made nearly 30 trips to China between 1989 and 2005, many of which took place while he held a security clearance as part of his duties.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) sent out an alarming announcement on Wednesday, revealing that "Man Arrested for Explosives Threats and Attack on Energy Facility." What the subject line leaves out, however, is that he's a Jordanian citizen and that he looks to have been motivated by anti-Israel views. The defendant, Hashem Younis Hashem Hnaihen, is being charged "with four counts of threatening to use explosives and one count of destruction of an energy facility." [Tweet]
Hnaihen is described as a 43-year-old "Jordanian citizen residing in Orlando, Florida." He was also ordered "detained pending trial," according to a press release from Thursday, complete with pictures of the incidents mentioned.

Up to 400 Aukland, New Zealand, families are being contacted after a local food bank accidentally distributed hard candy made of methamphetamine. [Tweet]
Auckland City Mission said Wednesday says that the "candy" is solid blocks of meth stamped with the candy company, "Rinda Foods." Rinda denies all knowledge of the contamination.
“We want to make it clear that Rinda Food does not use or condone the use of any illegal drugs in our products,” the company’s general manager, Steven Teh, said in a statement.
We'll keep that in mind next time someone offers us a Rinda candy.

Tim Walz hasn't exactly had the best introduction to the nation. Despite the best efforts of the campaign and the mainstream media to brand him as a midwestern centrist and "America's dad," among other things, it's hard not to wonder if Walz will be the next candidate the campaign will force off the ticket to make for someone less controversial and with less baggage.
The biggest issue, of course, is that Walz has come under fire for stolen valor.
Earlier this month, Newsweek reported that the Minnesota National Guard was disputing Walz's military biography. They reported that despite the governor's assertions, Walz did not retire with the rank of command sergeant major.

CHICAGO — Leaders of four Muslim organizations say they’re expecting upwards of 100,000 demonstrators to take part in a number of protests during the Democratic National Convention.
Three main protests are being planned for Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, the first and last days of the convention. More than 150 organizations from around the country say they’ve formed a collective to have these protests be large in numbers, and while they represent a number of different interests, they say they will be focused on the Israeli-Palestinian war.
