WOW: Mom with ‘gut feeling’ stops school shooter before planned attack.

Koeberle Bull of Lumberton, N.J., woke up to a racist message on Facebook from a man in Kentucky. “It was really vulgar — he called my kids the N-word and hoped terrible things for them,” Bull tells Yahoo Lifestyle.

The mom of three biracial children, ages 16, 11, and 8, was especially concerned about the man’s profile picture in which he showed off a gun, so, going on a “gut feeling,” she called her local police station and filed a report. “But I felt like it wouldn’t really go anywhere, so I posted a screenshot of the message on Facebook,” she says.

The man had blocked Bull. However, her friends dug around for details about his identity, and Bull soon had enough information to share with the police in Lawrenceburg, Ky. “I spoke to Officer Josh Satterly, who told me, ‘There’s no room for this kind of hate in my world,” she says. “He took me seriously.”

Local and state police followed the mom’s tip, and on Thursday, officers drove to the home of a 20-year-old man named Dylan Jarrell, just as he was leaving his house with more than 200 rounds of ammunition, a bulletproof vest, a firearm, a 100-round high-capacity magazine, and a “detailed plan of attack.”

Well done.

SHALLOWNESS IS FINE AS LONG AS IT’S WOKE SHALLOWNESS: “All toxic forms hurt. This is from a NYT op-ed by philosophy professor, George Yancy. A philosophy professor should not write such a blatant tautology.”

Plus: “I’ll just say, overall, Yancy has the tone of bowing down and confessing to God and pleading for absolution. But women are not God. We’re human beings too. Wake me up when you get there. And make me some coffee.”

And, from the comments: “I don’t know what George Yancy’s problem is, but it certainly isn’t any form of masculinity.”

DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS: Gov. Greg Abbott: George Soros ‘is trying to turn Texas into California.’

“George Soros has been involved in Texas elections for the past couple of cycles,” Abbott explained. “He is trying to turn Texas into California, and that’s on top of all this money pouring in from California for candidates like Beto.”

They also discussed the growing caravan of migrants currently headed for the U.S. border. Read the latest on the migrant caravan here.

“If you think these are people who are leaving Honduras or Guatemala or wherever they’re coming from, [and are] just trying to escape violence and seek asylum, that is incorrect,” Abbott said. “This is very well organized. It’s funded. There are others who are behind this. And very importantly, in this caravan [there] are not just people from Honduras and Guatemala. We know that some of the leaders of it are involved in MS-13. We know that some of the people are from countries across the globe.”

As I said yesterday, this “caravan” is a national security concern rather than an immigration issue.

RICHARD FERNANDEZ: Can The Global World Evolve? “Projections that underpinned the liberal policies of population control, climate change, open borders, soft power are now suspect. . . . The failure of the establishment to anticipate its drawbacks left it vulnerable to the crisis of 2016. They are in disarray to this day. The next few years ought to be dominated by efforts to rebuild the Western consensus if the global world is to survive. But can it evolve? Paradoxically the biggest threat to successful adaptation may prove to be the intransigence of its ideological supporters who are so angry at the collapse of their vision they sometimes forget where their best interests lie.”

UNSEXY: Harvard’s Strip Tease About Wealth and Race.

THE CITY THAT HAD TOO MUCH MONEY: Vancouver was the first place to experience the tidal wave of Chinese cash. Now the city is leading efforts to stop it.

One academic terms the process “the Vancouver model”: a seamy mingling of clean and dirty cash in casinos, real estate, and luxury goods made possible by historic ties to China and by Canada’s lax record of fighting financial crime.

It’s a product of one of the largest financial flows of the 21st century: The money being frenetically shuffled by millions of wealthy Chinese into safe assets abroad, in defiance of their country’s capital controls. Since mid-2014, capital flight from China may have totaled as much as $800 billion, according to estimates from the Institute of International Finance.

In Vancouver, the tidal wave has wrought a dramatic economic, demographic, and physical transformation. Alberni Street, a formerly dowdy downtown thoroughfare, has in the past decade welcomed a two-level Prada boutique with a black marble facade, one of the largest Rolex showrooms in North America, and a 62-story tower with a five-star Shangri-La hotel. All have Mandarin-speaking staff. In May, Rolls-Royce chose Vancouver to unveil its first sport utility vehicle, which starts at more than $300,000, hosting a Champagne reception at its sleek new local dealership in an upmarket neighborhood about two miles south of Alberni. Six sold on the first day—bound, perhaps, for the “car condo,” a kind of luxe garage with customizable suites that’s being built in a majority-Asian suburb. The units start at more than C$800,000, and the first batch recently sold out.

Much of the money coming in has been legitimately earned, if sometimes extricated by gray-market means.

If China’s economy were actually as robust as so many people fear — and if the Communist Party really had such a fearsome hold on everything — then capital flight wouldn’t be a problem for them or for Vancouver.

LIZ SHELD’S MORNING BRIEF: A Second Caravan Approaches and Much, Much More. “Mexico has offered all these caravan folks asylum but most continue to the U.S. If you aren’t sure what the motives are here, passing on Mexico’s offer gives an indication the caravan travelers aren’t just looking for asylum. So far Mexico has processed 1,699 applications for asylum while 7,000+ people are on the move toward the U.S. border.”
