SUMMARY: At a rally in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, former President Trump addressed a crowd of about 5,000, emphasizing unity among diverse faiths to “make America great again.” Candidates like Laurie Buckhout highlighted the importance of faith in the community, contrasting positive dialogues with the divisive rhetoric of Democratic candidates. The influence of faith in politics has become increasingly significant, especially in light of recent events, including the conflict in the Middle East. As Election Day nears, Republican leaders argue that Democrats, particularly Kamala Harris, have lost touch with the electorate’s values, promoting a message of acceptance and inclusivity in a polarized environment.

SUMMARY: President Trump has threatened to impose 35% tariffs on many Canadian imports starting August 1, accusing Canada of failing to curb fentanyl flow and imposing trade barriers. Trump warned that if Canada raises its tariffs, the U.S. will increase its rate accordingly. Although Customs and Border Patrol reports only 1% of fentanyl seized in the U.S. comes from Canada, Trump remains critical. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney defended Canadian workers and businesses, emphasizing ongoing negotiations before the August 1 deadline. The tariff move follows failed trade deal negotiations, with Trump issuing similar tariffs on Brazil, Cambodia, and copper imports.

President Donald Trump announced the tariffs in a letter on Thursday but said the U.S. would consider adjusting its stance if Canada helps stop the flow of fentanyl between the two countries.

SUMMARY: Mebane residents remain under strict water restrictions after flooding damaged the city’s water treatment plant. Since Wednesday, water use has been limited, with businesses mostly closed, losing revenue and time. On Thursday, officials allowed businesses to reopen with 60% workforce capacity and permitted water use but required a 60% reduction. Water production is slowly returning, yet full restoration and repair timelines remain unclear. Residents rely heavily on bottled water and can only shower with water. Local businesses are adapting, including repurposing downtown as a water distribution center, while the community awaits a resolution.
