New York City socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's past stances on policing are a legitimate reason for New Yorkers to be concerned, despite his recent walkbacks, according to a New York City crime expert who spoke to Fox News Digital. "I think what scares a lot of New Yorkers about the policy positions taken by Zohran Mamdani over the years is that he has exhibited not just a lack of appreciation for the men and women that stand on that [police] line, but a visceral disdain for them, which has led him to push for things like defunding and dismantling the police," Rafael A. Mangual, senior fellow and head of research for policing and public safety at the Manhattan Institute, told Fox News Digital, shortly after a gunman killed four people in midtown Manhattan, including a NYPD police officer.
"It's not so much as just that he said, well, I wanna allocate some of this money to other places. He has gone so far as to say that we should dismantle the entire department."…READ MORE.

An Update on Trump's Tariffs in August 2025: 6 Things To Know
On Apr. 2, 2025, President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 14257, an official declaration of emergency regarding America's trade deficit. Calling the day 'Liberation Day,' Trump used the executive order and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to launch a vast amount of tariffs against nearly all of America's trade partners. There was a 10% baseline tariff on imports that began on Apr. 5, and a few days later, there came a cascade of additional tariffs applied to various specific countries. Be Aware: Consider This: Following the announcement, global markets crashed, and Trump reversed course, announcing he would give America's trade partners until Aug. 7 to negotiate better trade deals. Over the course of a single summer, economic uncertainty and unease has developed around the subject of Trump's tariffs, and how negatively they will impact not only America's trade partners, but America itself. Frequently, tariffs cause price increases on everyday products, forcing Americans to ultimately foot the tariff bills. Additionally, following a weak jobs report in late July, and Trump's threat that it is 'too late' for some countries to escape high tariffs, there are growing fears that Trump's hardline financial policy could cause an economic downturn, according to CNBC. There have been so many changes, updates, reversals, pauses and additional tariffs instituted that it can be hard to know what is evening happening, tariffs-wise. Catch up with an update on Trump's tariffs and where a number of them stand as of August 2025. Brazil Trump has ordered a 50% tariff on a number of imports from Brazil, per Yahoo Finance. This does not include products important to America like aircraft parts and orange juice, of which Brazil is a primary importer. European Union The current deal — still being negotiated — will institute a 15% tariff upon the European Union. Learn More: India Trump recently threatened on his own social media platform, Truth Social, that India would be hit with 'substantially' higher tariffs soon because the country is 'not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits. They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine.' This comes after Trump had already announced a 25% tariff on Indian imports. Mexico In July, Trump gave America's biggest trade partner, Mexico, a 90-day hiatus from incurring higher tariffs. South Korea A new trade deal has now been made with South Korea, in which they will incur a 15% tariff on their imports sent to America, while America will not pay a reciprocal tariff on exports leaving the country. Switzerland Yahoo Finance has also reported that Switzerland will be hit with a powerful 39% tariff hike, which is expected to significantly hurt the Swiss watch industry.

NEWS OF THE WEEK: Sean 'Diddy' Combs denied latest bail request
The music mogul, who was convicted in July on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, had asked to be released before his sentencing on 3 October. Judge Arun Subramanian ruled on Monday that he will remain incarcerated. Subramanian declared in his ruling that Combs had failed to provide "exceptional reasons" that warrant his release. 'As for risk of flight or danger, Combs fails to meet his burden by clear and convincing evidence for the reasons set forth on the record at the 2 July 2025, hearing.'
