Just two days before catastrophic floods killed over 100 people in Texas, Augustus Doricko, CEO of Rainmaker, confirmed his company conducted cloud seeding in the area. The mission lasted only 20 minutes and involved releasing silver iodide into two clouds. While Doricko and meteorologists insist this didn’t cause the deadly storm, social media users have raised serious concerns about weather modification—once dismissed as conspiracy—now openly acknowledged but still not fully explained.
Elon Musk continues to stir headlines, this time by announcing plans for his own political group: the *America Party*. Rather than challenging Donald Trump directly, Musk aims to attract independents, moderates, and small-government conservatives. The party’s priorities include defending the Second Amendment, promoting Bitcoin, slashing federal spending, and integrating advanced tech into the military. According to political analyst Eric Daugherty, Musk plans to avoid presidential races for now, instead focusing on congressional influence. However, critics like Governor Ron DeSantis argue Musk’s efforts would be better spent helping states balance budgets.
In California, Governor Gavin Newsom’s actions suggest he’s quietly preparing a presidential run without officially declaring. At the same time, California rejected a federal proposal to scale back transgender inclusion in girls’ K-12 sports. The Department of Education had warned the state was violating Title IX, but Newsom’s office dismissed the directive as political. The California Interscholastic Federation backed the decision, even as the state risks federal enforcement.
Elsewhere in California politics, new revelations about Kamala Harris are emerging—stories she reportedly hoped would stay buried. While details remain under wraps, expect more to surface in the coming days.
In South Philadelphia, tragedy struck as multiple gunmen opened fire at a street gathering, injuring 13 and killing three. Over 130 shell casings were recovered. Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel condemned the shooters as “cowards,” and the incident was partially captured on Ring camera footage. No suspects or motives have yet been identified.
On the international front, President Trump has unveiled a sweeping new tariff policy. Beginning August 1, 14 nations—including Japan, South Korea, Cambodia, and Laos—will face tariffs ranging from 25% to 40%. Trump posted form letters warning countries that tariffs could increase if they retaliate. While some economists doubt the logic of targeting countries with low trade surpluses, Trump’s move aims to reduce the overall trade deficit.
During a White House dinner, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. He cited Trump’s role in the Abraham Accords and recent cooperation in strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Trump expressed optimism about expanding peace efforts across the Middle East.
Meanwhile, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told Tucker Carlson that Israel tried to assassinate him during recent conflicts. While open to restarting nuclear talks with the U.S., Pezeshkian accused Netanyahu of pushing “forever wars” and emphasized that Iran’s “death to America” chant refers to U.S. policy—not its people.

Tesla Stocks COLLAPSE As Elon Musk Starts Political Party! Tesla BANKRUPT?!Shockwaves just hit Wall Street as Tesla’s stock collapsed after Elon Musk did what no CEO has ever dared: launched his own political party while his company bleeds billions. That’s right — while shareholders were bracing for quarterly earnings, Musk was livestreaming his fantasy government, complete with crypto presidents and AI voting booths. Investors didn’t get a growth report — they got a manifesto. And Tesla? It’s now spiraling faster than Musk’s X feed at 3 a.m. But how did the world’s most valuable car company turn into a political science project? And why does it now look more bankrupt than bold.

Officers of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) were on marked patrol in Hillsborough County. From the FWC boat dock at 5110 W Gandy Blvd, Tampa, an officer observed a center console flats-style vessel producing a large wake in a posted idle speed zone. The vessel was seen on plane, passing the posted idle speed sign from Tampa Bay to the Gandy Boat Ramp. The officer signaled the operator to approach.
The operator, wearing sunglasses, a white hat with “El Capitan,” and dark shorts, reduced speed to idle and approached the FWC boat dock. The officer identified himself and noted a young boy (the operator’s nine-year-old son) and the operator’s fiancé holding an almost 18-month-old child in a life jacket. Alcoholic beverage containers were observed around the helm station.
When asked if he knew why he was stopped, the operator acknowledged his speed, saying, “Maybe because I was above the posted speed,” and pointed back to the sign. The officer explained the observations and the operator responded, “My bad.” The operator informed the officer of a firearm in the console, using the term “signal zero,” and was asked for his license and vessel registration. The operator mentioned being from Lakeland and showed his Polk County Sheriff’s Office badge before providing his driver’s license. He said the vessel registration was in his truck.
The officer conducted a vessel safety inspection, requesting life jackets and a sound-producing device. The operator produced two life jackets and a mooring line, explaining the line was for docking. The operator’s fiancé confirmed their daughter’s life jacket, and the operator showed his son’s life jacket but not a sound-producing device. He later produced a whistle and a fire extinguisher, with his fiancé assisting in replacing the extinguisher in its box.
The operator and his fiancé confirmed they had been alone since around 8:30 am. When asked about coolers or livewells, the operator mentioned a cooler in the front and consented to an inspection. The officer conducted a consensual inspection of the cooler and livewell.
The officer advised on-scene supervisors of a possible Boating Under the Influence (BUI) case. The officer discussed the busy weekend and the operator’s alcohol consumption, who admitted to drinking and consented to Standard Field Sobriety Tasks (SFSTs). The SFSTs were performed on a patrol vessel in calm waters, with the operator seated on a stable cooler.
After completing the SFSTs, the officer instructed the operator to put on his shoes and shirt and accompany him to the dock. The operator was informed of his arrest for BUI. The officer noted the strong odor of alcohol, slurred speech, balance issues, and watery eyes.
The vessel was released to the operator’s fiancé, who was assisted by other FWC officers. The operator consented to a breath sample, with results of 0.156 and 0.165, taken approximately one hour after the initial stop. The operator admitted to drinking 4-5 drinks, starting around 9:30 am and stopping around 1 pm.
In accordance with Florida Statute 327.35(1)(c), the operator was charged with operating a vessel with an unlawful breath alcohol level of 0.08 or higher. His breath samples exceeded 0.150, and he had two persons under 18 years of age onboard, warranting enhanced penalties.
The operator was charged with:
(V793723) F.S.S. 327.35(1)(c) – Operating a vessel with an unlawful breath alcohol level of 0.08 or higher.

You can no longer drop someone’s name and get out of a drunk driving arrest.
She got pulled over by the Police Department, her fiance is with the Sheriff’s Office…so 2 different agencies and likely why the guys making the arrest didn’t know her fiance.
Hopefully it was clear in the video but at the 09:10 mark she is trying to make a phone call with her Apple Watch. That’s why the officer took the watch from her. I’m not sure if that is policy or something…
*Subjects in these videos should always be considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Due to body cameras and cameras everywhere, you cannot be a law enforcement officer or related to a law enforcement officer and get away with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
