Gold could hit nearly $5,000 if Trump undermines Fed, says Goldman Sachs
Goldman Sachs has made the bold prediction that if Donald Trump wins the presidential election and follows through on his stated desire to exert stronger influence over the Federal Reserve, the price of gold could soar close to $5,000 per ounce. The Wall Street bank explained in a recent note to clients that the combination of political uncertainty, potential fiscal expansion, and a weakening of the central bank’s independence could create the perfect environment for investors to rush into safe haven assets. Gold has long been viewed as a hedge against instability and inflation, and any disruption to the credibility of the United States’ monetary policy could magnify demand.

Prime Minister of Yemen's Houthi-Run Government Killed in Israeli Strike
**Prime Minister of Yemen's Houthi-Run Government Killed in Israeli Strike** In a shocking turn of events, the Prime Minister of Yemen’s Houthi-run government was killed in an Israeli airstrike, marking a significant escalation in the already volatile political and military landscape of the Middle East. The death of Abdul-Aziz bin Habtour, a high-ranking official in the Houthi-led administration, has shook Yemen, the region, and the international community. The strike, which occurred near the capital city of Sana’a, was reportedly a precision missile attack carried out by Israeli forces. While Israel has neither confirmed nor denied its involvement directly, sources close to the situation suggest that it was part of a broader strategy to target individuals linked to Iran and its allies in Yemen, as Israel has been vocal in its opposition to Iranian influence in the region. The Israeli government has, in recent years, increased its focus on containing Iran's influence, particularly within the Houthi movement, which has long been supported by Tehran.

States Where You Can Still Get a COVID-19 Vaccine at CVS After RFK Jr. Policy Changes
**States where CVS still sells the COVID-19 vaccine after JFK Policy Changes** As of late August 2025, changes in U.S. federal vaccine policy have significantly impacted the way COVID-19 vaccines are distributed, particularly at retail locations like CVS. Under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the U.S. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued stricter guidelines regarding eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccine, restricting access to individuals over the age of 75 or those with specific high-risk medical conditions. Consequently, CVS has modified its vaccine availability policies to provide varying levels of access based on state regulations. ### Overview of the Policy Changes

Public discontent simmers just below the surface, and if it erupts—as it did during the “Woman, Life, Freedom” movement of 2022—the regime will struggle to suppress it.

Ink on Paper: Why Print Media is Resurfacing in a Digital World.
For more than two decades, the narrative seemed set in stone: print was dying, digital was king, and the future of media belonged solely to glowing screens. Newsstands closed, newspapers shrank, and magazines that once shaped culture folded one after another. Yet in 2025, a strange reversal is taking place across America. Print — once written off as obsolete — is quietly making a comeback.

Rates of West Nile Virus Increasing Throughout Philadelphia Region
West Nile Virus cases are rising throughout the Philadelphia region. As the number of cases of West Nile Virus (WNV) continues to rise throughout the summer, health officials in the Philadelphia area are raising the alarm. The mosquito-borne illness, which has been present in Pennsylvania since the beginning of the 2000s, is experiencing a significant resurgence, with an increase in the number of human cases and positive mosquito pools. In Philadelphia, Montgomery, Delaware, Bucks, and Chester Counties, the presence of the virus-carrying mosquitoes has been confirmed to be higher than usual. According to data from environmental surveillance, the primary disease-carrying Culex species of mosquito have found ideal breeding conditions thanks to warmer temperatures, recent heavy rainfall, and persistent humidity. Officials say that although the rise isn't yet considered an outbreak, the pattern is troubling enough to warrant increased mosquito control efforts. In particular in areas where mosquito samples have tested positive, crews are spraying insecticides in targeted neighborhoods. Local governments are urging residents to take preventative measures seriously and keeping a daily eye on traps. The bite of an infected mosquito is how West Nile Virus gets into people. One in five people who contract the virus will experience fever, headaches, body aches, nausea, and fatigue. The majority of people who contract the virus will not experience any symptoms. The virus can cause neurological problems like meningitis or encephalitis in severe cases, especially in older people or those with weaker immune systems. These conditions, which can be fatal, necessitate immediate medical attention. The Philadelphia region has not seen such widespread positive mosquito pools since 2018, when dozens of human cases and several fatalities were reported across Pennsylvania. This year's increase has sparked concern because of this. Climate change may be contributing to the rise, experts warn. Mosquito populations are able to survive in greater numbers thanks to warmer winters, and wet springs and summers increase the amount of standing water in which the insects can breed. Dr. Philadelphia's Health Commissioner, Cheryl Bettigole, emphasized that vigilance is essential despite the low overall risk to any individual. Bettigole offered this explanation: "We are seeing higher mosquito activity carrying West Nile Virus than we typically expect at this point in the season." “We want residents to protect themselves by using insect repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants during peak mosquito hours, and eliminating standing water around their homes.”
