Kamala Crash? Global Stock Markets Crushed

Spooked in part by a looming recession under the policies of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the United States, the Japanese stock market panicked on Monday and suffered its worst single-day sell-off in history, losing even more points than it did on “Black Monday” in October 1987.

The higher volume of the Nikkei Stock Average meant the dizzying loss of 4,451.28 points was its second-largest fall by percentage, coming in at 12.4 percent to the 14.9 percent drop when the average lost 3,836.48 points on Black Monday.

Video surfaced Monday of a panel discussion in February 2024 in which Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) speculated that Congress would have to invalidate an election victory by former President Donald Trump — at the risk of “civil war.”

Hurricane Debby has been downgraded to a tropical storm after it made landfall near Steinhatchee in Florida's Big Bend region early Monday. According to the National Hurricane Center, the storm, which had intensified into a Category 1 hurricane as it came ashore with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph, is now slowly moving north. It is expected to dump significant amounts of rain across the Southeast and bring a potentially “life threatening” storm surge to parts of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina over the next several days.
