Attempt to start WW3 No. 10,563
Putin Plotting 'Physical Attacks' On West, UK Intelligence Warns, Amid Spate Of Mystery Arsons
A top British intelligence official has issued a new alarmist warning concerning the 'Russian threat' to the West. Anne Keast-Butler, who for the last year has headed up the UK's GCHQ, or signals intelligence operations (which is the equivalent of America's NSA), has warned in her first major speech that President Putin is plotting "physical attacks" against Western targets.
Addressing cyber security experts in Birmingham, the GCHQ director claimed that Moscow is busy "nurturing and inspiring" groups of cyber attackers, and is even "in some cases seemingly coordinating physical attacks against the West."
She said that alongside Russia, China poses an "epoch-defining" risk to long-term UK national security as well. She admitted that currently China is taking up "more resource… than any other single mission" at GCHQ.
But ultimately she focused the speech on British intelligence being "increasingly concerned about growing links between the Russian intelligence services and proxy groups to conduct cyber-attacks – as well as suspected physical surveillance and sabotage operations."
She also said at a moment the major new Kharkiv offensive is underway that "Putin has not given up on his maximalist goal of subjugating the population of Ukraine."
Her dire assessment comes as the British government is seeking to crack down on Russian diplomatic sites in the UK which are suspected of being dual Russian intelligence hubs.
There have also been recent new accusations of specific attacks on UK infrastructure being linked to Russia. For example The Telegraph writes that "Last week, a British man was charged with an arson attack in London and accused by prosecutors of working for Wagner Group, the Russian paramilitary organization."
The same report notes that "Russia has long been accused of protecting cyber gangs that target Western organizations, allowing them to operate with relative impunity as they carry out sophisticated hacks."
"Last week, the National Crime Agency named Dmitry Khoroshev, a Russian national, as the person behind LockBit – a ransomware group that had stolen hundreds of millions of pounds from businesses," The Telegraph continues.
There are other locations in Europe where recent 'mystery fire

Ilya and OpenAI are going to part ways. This is very sad to me; Ilya is easily one of the greatest minds of our generation, a guiding light of our field, and a dear friend. His brilliance and vision are well known; his warmth and compassion are less well known but no less important.
OpenAI would not be what it is without him. Although he has something personally meaningful he is going to go work on, I am forever grateful for what he did here and committed to finishing the mission we started together. I am happy that for so long I got to be close to such genuinely remarkable genius, and someone so focused on getting to the best future for humanity.
Jakub is going to be our new Chief Scientist. Jakub is also easily one of the greatest minds of our generation; I am thrilled he is taking the baton here. He has run many of our most important projects, and I am very confident he will lead us to make rapid and safe progress towards our mission of ensuring that AGI benefits everyone.

Aaron Rodgers and Tucker remind everyone that Ghislaine Maxwell was indicted for trafficking children to no one and likely worked for the Mossad, Epstein didn't kill himself in Federal Prison, and talk about the Bohemian Grove and secret societies blackmailing elites in our society. This kind of rhetoric is becoming mainstream. Normalize exposing elite who commit crimes against children. Boom!
"How many Jeffrey Epstein type people are out there? And who is pulling the strings on that?
Ghislaine Maxwell has a lot of ties to the Mossad. That would make sense. I mean Jeffrey didn't seem to get some of the appointments based on merit, someone was putting him in the right spots. I don't think he's the only one. I think there is a weird bizarre problem that has a sex component with the elites. There's a pedophile component to it as well which is really sick…
I would like that to be exposed. Jeffrey Epstein had the goods on everybody. There's a lot of people that didn't want him to be alive. The wild story around multiple people being asleep, him not being watched at the time. I just don't believe in that many coincidences.
Tucker:
"He was murdered in federal detention in Manhattan. I don't think there's any question about that. And people lied about it."
Rodgers:
"The Ghislaine Maxwell trial had next to no coverage. Trafficked to nobody. She is indicted for trafficking kids and nobody who she was trafficking kids to got indicted or named. And all the files still haven't been released…Super prominent names on the flight logs…
I've seen some interesting things.. Been around some interesting parties and gatherings that are strange. Not anything like Diddy party… Even at an Oscar party seeing how some of these people act, a little strange. Parties within the party that always kind of weirded me out a little bit.
Getting into conspiracy stuff…Then you know about secret society stuff the Bohemian Grove..The secrecy around that. That's not the only secret society…The Skull and Bones at Yale which has produced all those Presidents… And the Freemasonry at its highest level.. There is a sexual component to a lot of that.. Obviously with Epstein it was blackmail to get them to do what they want… How many people are compromised by that that are in positions of power today? You are naive to think it's none." @AaronRodgers12

Snopes, a fact-checking website, quietly changed a fact check about a diary belonging to Ashley Biden, President Joe Biden’s daughter, being real. The fact-checking website describes the diary, which was written by Ashley Biden, describing “actions taken toward her” by the president when she was younger that are “not appropriate,” according to Snopes.This comes a month after Ashley Biden wrote a letter on April 8 to Chief Judge Laura Taylor Swain of the Southern District of New York. The younger Biden acknowledged the existence of the diary, writing that she was “deeply saddened” to “even have to write”

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott responded to a Sunday article in Daily Mail that detailed the large number of cops ditching California for the pastures of Texas, which might not be greener but are certainly more friendly to law enforcement. Morale is low among peace officers in the Golden State as soft-on-crime woke district attorneys like LA’s George Gascón and Alameda County’s Pamela Price, along with criminal-loving measures like Proposition 47, make them feel undermined and unwelcome. Thousands of them are getting out of Dodge, the outlet reported: …the Golden State is hemorrhaging thousands of police every year, with numbers down by more than 5,000 since 2019.

Asian Stocks to Follow US Rally With Focus on CPI
(Muh NASDAQ closed at a record high so everyone seems to be in the long pool-which is now the crowded trade do tread lightly as the meme stocks helped but AMC basically ded meat-that FUGLY from $9 to below $6 andback to about $6.88 as the secondary told ya what it was really worth and it’s “about tree-fiddy” >>161856 pb GameStop’s short interest is 64,370,000 shares but that is non-naked reported volumes so this has a few moar days in it then it’s over-AMC pretty much told you that plus this comes as the markets have run out of gas and not many are short….how much did they pay that douche yo “resurface” after 3 years at market highs?….not a coincide imo…Japanese Yields on Govt debt still at 11year highs and that shows no sign of cooling off -10y cap 3 and 20y cap 4 and cap 5 our 10y just under 4.5%-have broken out above the recent highs of Oct 2023 but unless the BoJ reversed its stated trajectory on bond monetizing however muh yen has retraced about 2/3rds of the total intervention so Mr. Bond has to be dealt with sooner or later)
Stocks in Asia are poised to follow a big tech-led rally in US benchmarks, as investors look to key inflation data later Wednesday for clues on the Federal Reserve’s next steps. Equity futures for Japan and Australia pointed higher, while those for Hong Kong were little changed with that market closed for a holiday. In the run-up to US consumer price index data, the S&P 500 shrugged off Jerome Powell’s signals that interest rates will be higher for longer(the rate THEY control is Prime and rates could go higher especially if Japan doesn’t take the same route in those currency interventions as they used cash instead of US Treasuries at the end of April)a mixed reading on producer inflation. The report weighed on bond yields and oil. Tesla Inc. and Nvidia Corp. led gains in the “Magnificent Seven” cohort of megacaps, as meme-stock traders once again piled into GameStop Corp. and AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. US futures were little changed in early Asia trading. Underlying US inflation probably moderated in April for the first time in six months, offering some hope that price pressures will start to ease again. Compared with April 2023, the core CPI is projected to rise 3.6%. While the annual increase would be the smallest in three years, it would still be too high to warrant rate cuts. A survey conducted by 22V Research showed 49% of investors expect the market reaction to the CPI report to be “risk-on” — while only 27% said “risk-off.” The S&P 500 rose to around 5,247, just shy of the March 28 closing level of 5,254.35 that would mark its 23rd record in 2024. Treasury 10-year yields fell five basis points to 4.44%, a Bloomberg gauge of the dollar declined for the first time in three days and oil slipped 1.4% in New York while gold rose. The Nasdaq Golden Dragon Index of US-listed Chinese companies slipped from a seven-month high reached Monday. US producer prices rose in April by more than projected >>161883 pb
The options market is betting that the S&P 500 will move 1% in either direction after today’s CPI report.

Two public universities in Virginia have scrapped their planned diversity, equity, and inclusion requirements after a review by Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s (R-VA) administration. Virginia Commonwealth University and George Mason University canceled their plans to implement DEI-oriented classes as a requirement for undergraduate studies after Youngkin raised concerns about “core curriculum mandates that are a thinly veiled attempt to incorporate the progressive Left’s groupthink.” However, while the VCU Board of Visitors voted 10-5 publicly in a meeting on Friday to reject a “racial literacy” requirement just before the fall 2024 academic semester,

Americans already contending with persistent and stubbornly high inflation just got more unwelcome news on Tuesday: There are more price hikes likely coming down the pike. Wholesale inflation picked up in April to its highest rate in a year, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Tuesday.

JUST IN: Michael Cohen is now admitting in the stand that he had meeting with the New York Attorney General’s office and the District Attorney as far back as 2018, in relation to the trial.
In 2018 Cohen was incarcerated, so he was in jail while meeting with them. Miraculously, he got out of prison early for “covid” precautions, right after he started working with the prosecutors.
This is a sham trial and I hope Trump pi’s quickly acquitted! How many more attempts can they make to stop him from winning in November?

Middle School in California is teaching students sx-ed. The principal sent an email to parents that they can opt out of any individual lessons EXCEPT for the chapter on gender and sxuality. They're forcing kids to learn about gender pseudoscience and alternate gender identities.
If you're a parent who wants your kid educated on s*x-ed and just not gender ideology, tough luck.
Why is @LaderaVistaJH

Biden Border Bloodbath: Illegal Alien
From El Salvador Murders West Virginia
Woman by Lighting Her on Fire
Gateway Pundit, by Cristina Laila
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 5/14/2024 7:05:18 PM
Joe Biden’s America. An illegal alien from El Salvador who entered the US on Joe Biden’s open border invitation was arrested in the murder of a 33-year-old West Virginia woman. David Antonio Calderon, 46, was arrested in Virginia after authorities found an unidentified woman on a burning couch in a field in Martinsburg. “Early findings from the state Medical Examiner’s Office point to burn injuries as the likely cause of death.” West Virginia News reported. According to police, Calderon, who went by the nickname “Amigo,” also attacked two homeless people with a baseball bat in April.

Oscar Blue Ramirez reporting for Real America’s Voice News – live stream May 13, 2024
Newly-elected President of Panama, José Raúl Mulino says he will close the Darien Gap to migration.
Organized Crime in Colombia has enriched themselves out of human misery while destroying the culture of the indigenous tribes. President José Raúl Mulino wants to decontaminate the jungle that has become an environmental disaster of this mass migration.
The Non-Government Organizations (NGO’s) are calling President Mulino inhumane and violating human rights. Oscar Blue states that the Panamanian President is protecting the sovereignty of his nation and its border while preventing people from dying (in this dangerous border crossing, the Darien Gap).
The NGO’s offer no solutions and are demanding that the Darien Gap crossing remain open simply because they are the ones profiting from this human misery.
International Organizations, Cartels, NGO’s (like the ones operating within the United States at the southern border) businesses, and individuals are benefiting from government and private funding…reaping large sums of money in this human trafficking situation.

JUST IN: In a 2018 letter to the FEC, Michael Cohen’s own attorney stated “Mr. Cohen used his own personal funds to facilitate a payment of $130,000 to Ms. Stephanie Clifford. Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford, and neither reimbursed Mr. Cohen for the payment directly or indirectly.”
Prosecutors are using this as an attempt to show Trump lied, but this letter has nothing to do with Trump. Cohen wrote this with his own attorneys. His story has changed so much he can no longer be considered a credible witness.
Why isn’t the media pointing out these facts?

CHARLESTON, WV: "Two-term Governor Jim Justice has won the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate, a race that was called shortly after voting concluded. MetroNews and other outlets called the race early on. The Associated Press called the race for Justice at 8:15 p.m.
“I love the people of West Virginia, and they know me through and through. They have the opportunity to judge me by my deeds; they’ve done that,” Justice said on MetroNews’ election coverage. “That’s why we have this landslide, landslide, landslide.”
Joe Manchin, a Democrat, decided not to run for reelection in increasingly Republican-leaning West Virginia this year. So the seat is open and most national pundits believe the seat is likely to swing to a Republican.
Justice is a two-term governor who first won that office as a Democrat in 2016. He switched parties in 2017 at a rally for then-President Donald Trump, citing his close relationship with Trump and saying he could accomplish more as a Republican. Trump announced an endorsement for Justice several months ago."

Vatican City, May 1, 2019 / 10:35 am
A group of nineteen Catholics, including some prominent academics, have published an open letter to the bishops of the world accusing Pope Francis of heresy.
The letter, made public on April 30, was dated "Easter week" and signed by 19 individuals, including Fr. Aiden Nichols OP, an internationally recognized theologian and author. The 15-page letter begins by asking the bishops of the world to take some action against the pope.
"We are addressing this letter to you for two reasons: first to accuse Pope Francis of the canonical delict of heresy, and second, to request that you take the steps necessary to deal with the grave situation of a [sic] heretical pope."
The letter lists seven specific areas of Church teaching where the signatories believe the pope has "through his words and actions, publicly and pertinaciously" demonstrated his belief in "propositions that contradict divine law."
The complaints focus on supposed teachings of the pope concerning sexuality and morality which they claim run contrary to the Church's magisterium. The letter highlights what the signatories believe to be problematic passages from the pope's 2016 post-synodal apostolic exhortation Amoris laetitia, especially concerning Catholics in irregular marital situations.
Among specific heretical beliefs the letter accuses the pope of holding is the position that a Catholic can, with full knowledge of divine law, violate that law and not be in a state of grave sin.
The letter also references a number of bishops, cardinals, and priests whom the authors claim are themselves heretical and the pope either appointed or allowed to remain in office, as further proof of the Holy Father's "heresy."

Jimmy Carter's grandson says the 99-year-old president is 'coming to the end' after more than a year in hospice care
Jason Carter (inset) said at a mental health forum on Tuesday that the life of his grandfather Jimmy Carter (top) is 'coming to the end'. The 99-year-old former president has been in hospice care for more than a year after deciding to forego any further medical treatment. Since then his beloved wife Rosalynn (together bottom) has passed away and he has been living at home with regular visits from his family. The Georgia peanut farmer has already survived metastatic brain and liver cancer.

The wing of a Boeing 757 jet owned by former President Donald Trump struck a parked plane at a Florida airport after landing safely and taxiing early Sunday morning, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
It is not known if Trump, who had held a campaign rally in Wildwood, New Jersey, on Saturday, was on his aircraft when its winglet struck the rear elevator of a parked VistaJet in West Palm Beach.
The wing of the Boeing jet owned by former President Donald Trump struck a parked plane at a Florida airport after landing safely and taxiing early Sunday morning, the Federal Aviation Administration said on Tuesday.
It is not known if Trump, who had held a campaign rally in Wildwood, New Jersey, on Saturday, was on his Boeing 757 when its winglet struck the rear elevator of a parked VistaJet in West Palm Beach.
No injuries were reported in the collision.
The FAA notice about the incident, which occurred at 1:19 a.m. ET on Sunday, gives the tail number of Trump’s aircraft, N757AF.
In a statement, the FAA said, “A privately owned Boeing 757 landed safely at West Palm Beach International Airport around 1:20 a.m. local time on Sunday, May 12.”
“While taxiing, its winglet contacted a parked and unoccupied corporate jet,” the FAA said. “The incident occurred in an area of the airport where the FAA does not direct aircraft. The FAA is investigating.”
A winglet is a short fin that projects upward from the wing of an aircraft. They are used to reduce aerodynamic drag.
CNBC has requested comment from a spokesman from Trump’s presidential campaign about the incident.
Trump maintains a residence at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach.

Over $13 Million Paid Out In Vaccine Injury Claims In Australia
The Australian government has paid out $20.5 million (US$13.2 million) in COVID-19 vaccine injury claims to people who experienced harm from the jab.
Services Australia data provided to The Epoch Times reveals 6.82 percent of claims have been compensated so far, that is 286 out of 4,191.
“As at 31 March 2024, the COVID-19 Vaccine Claims Scheme has received 4,191 claims and paid 286 claims to the value of around $20.5 million,” a spokesperson said.
“Services Australia expects to receive new claims until the COVID-19 Vaccine Claims Scheme’s end date of 30 September 2024.”
The updated figures up to the end of March, follow a submission to the government’s COVID-19 Inquiry, revealing it had paid $16.9 million worth of claims up to the end of November 2023.
The federal government is due to deliver a budget for 2024/2025 covering all government agencies in the evening on May 14.

China set to host Putin as economic ties grow under Western pressure
Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to visit China on Thursday in an attempt to shore up ties with Beijing seen as crucial for the war in Ukraine.
The two-day trip carries symbolic as well as practical significance. It marks Putin's first journey abroad since his inauguration for a fifth term about a week ago, mirroring Chinese President Xi Jinping's decision to make Moscow his first destination after starting his third term last year.
But Putin is heading to China on the heels of two top American officials, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who both pressed their Chinese counterparts to curb exports that support Russia's defense-industrial base. The U.S. recently sanctioned a slew of Chinese entities with Russian links, and is reportedly turning its crosshairs on Chinese banks deemed to be aiding the war effort.
The visit also comes just after Xi's tour of Europe, where he called for a global war truce during the Paris Olympics in July and August, and Blinken's trip to Ukraine. The two countries' economic and financial ties have grown considerably since the start of the war. According to Chinese customs data, trade turnover reached a record $240 billion in 2023. The redirection of Russian crude oil to China following the European Union's import ban has helped sustain Russia's export revenues, while trade with China assures continued access to machinery, equipment and consumer goods along with, reportedly, "dual use" goods with potential military applications.

T-6 Instructor Pilot Dies After Ejection Seat Goes Off on the GroundWeird
May 14, 2024 | By David Roza
An Air Force instructor pilot died early in the morning on May 14 from injuries sustained when the pilot’s T-6A Texan II training plane ejection seat activated during ground operations the day before, the 82nd Training Wing at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, announced in a press release.
“An investigation into the cause of the incident is underway,” the wing wrote, adding that the pilot’s name is being withheld for 24 hours to notify his or her next of kin.
The 82nd is the host unit at Sheppard, but the pilot was assigned to the 80th Flying Training Wing, the unit which runs the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training (ENJJPT) Program, a multinational school where students and instructors from across NATO learn and teach the basics of flying.
The wing flies the T-6, a two-seat propeller plane often used for basic aviation lessons in undergraduate pilot training, and the T-38, a two-seat jet typically used to teach future fighter and bomber pilots. Two years ago, 76 T-6s and 203 T-38s were grounded due to concerns about potentially faulty ejection seat parts. The grounding affected 40 percent of the T-38 fleet and 15 percent of the T-6 fleet.
At the time, Air Force Materiel Command said the explosive cartridges used in the ejection seats may suffer from “quality defects.” Each seat has multiple and redundant explosive cartridges. Two months after the stand-down, the Air Force had found no faulty cartridges on any of the T-6s, Breaking Defense reported at the time.
“Our primary concern is the safety of our Airmen and it is imperative that they have confidence in our equipment,” Maj. Gen. Craig Wills, then-head of the 19th Air Force, said at the time.
The average age of the T-6 fleet is 17 years old, according to 2023 data. While spry compared to the T-38’s average age of about 56 years, senior Air Force leaders say the age of trainer aircraft is slowing down pilot production.
“From the time they [student pilots] are commissioned—because of the challenges we’re having with T-6 and T-38—we have a little bit of a backup. It can be as many as four years,” then-Vice Chief of Staff Gen. David W. Allvin toldthe House Armed Services Committee in 2023. “So almost an 18 month- to 24 month-wait just to get into pilot training.”
A T-6 made an emergency “belly flop” landing at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas, on April 3 after its pilot declared an in-flight emergency. No one was injured in the incident.

Look for that SAM flight w/Captain “No hands” Blinken-fugger haz 2 wars going on but let’s go to a bar and ‘hang out’-from Rzeszow very soon as this Swedish AC is the ‘cover’ for him departing and should eventually make it’s way south from the Baltic Sea
Still remain unconvinced the majority of these trips are real although they are letting enough time elapse so it’s believable however you know what is capable with green screens and deep fakes.
The past of these trips “to Kiev” has shown flat out lies and fuggery so why would they change that at this point.

NY v Trump: As 'star witness' Michael Cohen testifies, Trump allies flock to court to 'support their friend'
Cohen expected to be prosecution's final witness
As the prosecution’s "star witness," and likely its final witness, Michael Cohen testified on Tuesday, allies of former President Trump flocked to the court in a show of support for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee in his criminal trial.
A number of high-profile GOP allies joined Trump at the Lower Manhattan court for the 17th day of his criminal trial – a day that once again featured Cohen, Trump’s former attorney, being questioned by both New York prosecutors and a cross-examination by Trump's defense attorneys.
"I came here, again, today, on my own to support President Trump," House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said outside the court in New York City on Tuesday morning, blasting Cohen as a "man who is clearly on a mission for personal revenge."
"[He] is widely known as a witness who has trouble with the truth. He is someone who has a history of perjury and is well-known for it. No one should believe a word he says today," Johnson said of Cohen, adding that "he lied to Congress; he lied to the IRS; he lied to federal election officials."
"Even Cohen's own lawyer testified to a grand jury that he is not reliable. So, there's nothing that he presents here that should be given any weight at all by a jury," Johnson said, noting the case "is not about justice" but "all about politics, and everybody can see that."
Johnson, along with Reps. Byron Donalds and Cory Mills, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy all attended the trial in a show of support for Trump. Sens. J.D. Vance, Tommy Tuberville, Rick Scott and Rep. Nicole Malliotakis attended court with the former president on Monday.
"All guests volunteer to come to court to support their friend, President Trump, and are not invited by the campaign," a Trump campaign official told Fox News Digital.
The official said the growing number of Republican allies coming to the downtown Manhattan courthouse is "not some kind of coordinated political thing."
Cohen is said to be the star witness for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his team as they try to prove the former president falsified business records relating to a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels, an adult film actress, in the lead-up to the 2016 election to silence her about an alleged affair with Trump in 2006.
Bragg charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges and maintains his innocence.
Cohen's testimony
As for Cohen’s testimony, the ex-Trump attorney said he was "reimbursed $420,000" for the $130,000 he paid to Daniels. Cohen said former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg suggested he "gross up" the payments.
Cohen testified that Weisselberg facilitated his reimbursement plan for the payment and that Trump knew the details of that reimbursement.
Trump is unable to speak about witnesses or court staff due to the gag order imposed upon him by Judge Juan Merchan.
The former president appealed the gag order, arguing that it violated his First Amendment rights. But as Cohen testified Tuesday, the Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court denied Trump’s appeal of the gag order.
Now Trump’s attorneys will have the opportunity to appeal to the New York Court of Appeals.
The prosecution presented Cohen with 11 checks totaling $420,000. Cohen confirmed that they were all received and deposited. The checks had a description of "retainer," which Cohen said was false.
Under cross-examination by Trump attorney Todd Blanche, Cohen testified that he apologized to Congress, the country and to his family for lying to them in 2017 and "acting in a way that suppressed information that the citizenry had a right to know in order to make an informed decision about an individual who was seeking the highest office in the land."
Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to campaign finance violations, making false statements to Congress and tax evasion. He was sentenced to three years in prison.

Blanche grilled Cohen on his negative past statements he made online and to the media about Trump.
Over the course of the investigation and case, Cohen made more than 20 television appearances. He has recorded hundreds of podcast episodes – four total episodes a week all year long – since the investigation for this trial started. Cohen agreed that Trump has been mentioned in every podcast.
Blanche also asked Cohen if he was obsessed with Trump.
"I don’t know if I would call it obsessed," Cohen said. "I admired him tremendously."
Under cross-examination, Cohen also admitted to meeting with former New York prosecutor Mark Pomerantz, who resigned in 2022 when Bragg took over the Manhattan DA's probe of Trump after he signaled he was uninterested in bringing charges against the former president.
Cohen in 2021 testified that he wanted the DA's office to publicly acknowledge he was cooperating with their investigation, as he was hoping to have his sentence lessened. Cohen, at the time, was serving his sentence but was moved from prison to home confinement.
Ultimately, there was no letter or public announcement made by the DA about his cooperation.
Blanche said he will continue the cross-examination of Cohen on Thursday; court does not meet on Wednesdays.
Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass said Cohen was the prosecution’s last witness.

BREAKING 🚨 Former People's Deputy of Ukraine Andrii Derkach says they have proof that Biden family member affiliates, both Burisma founders and employees, are complicit in the blowing up of Nord Stream 2 and other terrorist activity by way of at least a $50 million collective bribe.
According to Derkach, a $6 million cash bribe was reportedly handed over to Ukrainian law enforcement to shut down the investigation into Burisma. $12 million was given to a drone army under secret court order.
The Burisma lawyer who handed over the $6 million did it on camera. The other $12 million, according to Derkach, was donated to a drone army under secret court ruling. The drone army reportedly kills people and does not target infrastructure facilities.
Derkach says that the chains of transactional records would lead investigators to believe that funds were used to supply American companies to send to the Central Intelligence Office (GUR).
The $6 million has been held as evidence, by a secret court order. The money was handed over to a military unit of the Central Intelligence Office (GUR) for the sake of carrying out terrorist activities. After that, Derkach says, the Nord Stream explosions occurred, Prilepin was attacked, Darya Dugina, daughter of far-right political activist Aleksandr Dugin, was assassinated.
Top officers of security agencies in Ukraine—Malyuk, Budanov—they reportedly conduct interviews using extra-budgetary cash.
Derkach says all transactions of funds have been traced from Burisma to Morgan Stanley to Rosemont Seneca, which is affiliated with and owned by Hunter Biden. U.S. Congress is using these documents to prove influence peddling.
The criminal case initiated in regard to Burisma, actively investigated by Prosecutor General Shokin was not closed until 2020.
Derkach says all who have sponsored and participated in terrorism will be held accountable for their crimes.

Zelensky postpones all foreign trips as Russia advances=
The move comes after Moscow’s forces captured several settlements in Kharkov Region in recent days
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has postponed foreign visits scheduled for later this week, his press secretary has announced. His comments come amid the Russian offensive in the border Kharkov Region.
The statement was made on Wednesday by Sergey Nikiforov, who wrote on his Facebook page that the Ukrainian leader “has instructed that all international events involving him scheduled for the coming days be postponed and new dates coordinated.” He thanked Kiev’s backers for their understanding.
Zelensky was due to travel to Spain on Friday and meet with King Felipe. Later, he was expected to visit Portugal, where he was set to sign a bilateral security cooperation agreement with Lisbon.
While Nikiforov did not state the reason for the postponement of Zelensky’s travel, the move comes as the Russian Defense Ministry reported an advance in Ukraine’s Kharkov Region. On Wednesday, it said Moscow’s troops had captured the villages of Glubokoye and Lukyantsy, which are close to the Ukraine-Russia border.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov admitted that Kiev wasfacing an “extremely difficult” situationas itstroops were struggling to hold groundand were outgunned by the Russian forces. Against this backdrop, he urged Ukraine’s backers to ramp up ammunition deliveries.
Ukrainian officials have long warnedthat theywere not ready to repel a major Russian attack, complaining about delays with Western arms shipments. In April, the head of Kiev’s military intelligence, Kirill Budanov, warned that Ukraine would face serious difficulties in mid-May and early June.
Kharkov Region has frequently been used by Ukrainian forces to stage artillery and drone attacks on Russian border areas, many of which targeted residential buildings, resulting in dozens of civilian casualties. In March, Russian President Putin suggested that Moscow could “at some point” beforced to “create a certain cordon sanitaire” in Kiev-controlled territoriesto prevent further attacks.

Crooked Joe Biden is the WORST debater I have ever faced - He can’t put two sentences together! Crooked is also the WORST President in the history of the United States, by far. It’s time for a debate so that he can explain to the American People his highly destructive Open Border Policy, new and ridiculous EV Mandates, the allowance of Crushing Inflation, High Taxes, and his really WEAK Foreign Policy, which is allowing the World to “Catch on Fire.” I am Ready and Willing to Debate Crooked Joe at the two proposed times in June and September. I would strongly recommend more than two debates and, for excitement purposes, a very large venue, although Biden is supposedly afraid of crowds - That’s only because he doesn’t get them. Just tell me when, I’ll be there. “Let’s get ready to Rumble!!!”

Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico rushed to hospital after shooting
Robert Fico, the populist Prime Minister of Slovakia, has been rushed to hospital after a shooting, according to reports.
The terrifying attack took place in Handlova, a town located 93 miles north east of the country's capital Bratislava.
A suspect has been detained, according to local news station TA3, with a dramatic video showing the moment they were arrested.
A loud commotion can be heard, as police officers can be seen swarming the alleged attacker while sirens can be heard blaring in the distance.
Robert Fico has served as the Slovakian PM since 2023, after previously serving from 2006 to 2010 and again from 2012 to 2018.
He has recently come under fire for oppposing NATO membership for Ukraine.
His government has long opposed giving military aid to President Zelensky and his troops, and has bizarrely claimed that life is "normal" in Kyiv.

Biden Ducks Official Debates, Wants 2 Instead of 3, Controlled by Friendly Media, Demands Earlier Schedule.
Joe Biden took to Twitter on Wednesday morning to demand two, not three, presidential debates and hope to shift them forward in the calendar year—seemingly so he has time torecover from an expected poor performance before election day.
The Biden campaign even sent a formal letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates, stating that Biden would not be participating in the organization’s debates.
Instead, Biden’s team proposed debates in June and September, conducted under an umbrella of corporate-left news organizations, with a scheduled vice-presidential debate in July.

Nationwide gold & silver tax cuts: 13 states scrap capital gains, Fed on high alert
(Kitco News) - In the US, legislation is being reshaped by a combination of state and federal efforts aiming to revise the taxation and legal tender status of gold and silver. This trend is catalyzed by a broader movement among lawmakers and fiscal conservatives who see these changes as essential to reinforcing economic stability. "Both the state of Nebraska and the state of Alabama passed legislation exempting capital gains from gold and silver on the state level. This is part of a movement. Other states have recently done the same thing," notes Jp Cortez, Executive Director of Sound Money Defense League. In response to these state-level initiatives, federal legislation is also being considered, with "Congressman Alex Mooney recently reintroduced legislation to end all federal income taxation on gold and silver, coins and bullion in the entire country.”
However, not all states have joined this movement. Hawaii, New Mexico, New Jersey, Vermont, and Maine still impose sales taxes on precious metals. These states are targets for future legislative efforts aimed at aligning them with the broader national trend.
The Constitutional Context and Implications for Sound Money
The U.S. Constitution grants Congress the power to coin money and regulate its value. Historically, this included precious metals like gold and silver, which were once part of the U.S. monetary system. Reintroducing gold and silver as money aligns with constitutional principles and acts as a countermeasure against inflation and government overspending. Cortez emphasizes the constitutional and economic stability sound money can bring in a recent interview with Jeremy Szafron, Anchor at Kitco News, "Sound money constrains a government that would otherwise do bad things with the power afforded to the printer of money… It provides people the chance to be able to save and plan in a currency that they know will hold value over the long term."
Sound money refers to money backed by a physical commodity such as gold or silver and is not susceptible to significant depreciation or inflation. It is characterized by its ability to hold value over time, offering predictability in financial planning and a check on the government's ability to inflate the currency supply.
The momentum for recognizing gold and silver as legal tender is growing across the U.S., highlighted by a Federal bill and recent legislative actions in several states. Nebraska joined the movement last month, becoming the 12th state to eliminate capital gains taxes on these precious metals, following Alabama's earlier decision.
Similarly, Arizona, Arkansas, and Utah have passed comparable laws in recent years. Efforts to exempt these metals from income taxes are also advancing in states like Iowa, Georgia, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas, with significant legislative progress made in 2024. Additionally, Kentucky has recently become the 45th state to abolish sales taxes on gold and silver, further cementing the trend towards easing financial regulations on these assets.

AR 3664 at the Sun's Edge
What did the monster active region that created the recent auroras look like when at the Sun's edge? There, AR 3664 better showed its 3D structure. Pictured, a large multi-pronged solar prominence was captured extending from chaotic sunspot region AR 3664 out into space, just one example of the particle clouds ejected from this violent solar region. The Earth could easily fit under this long-extended prominence. The featured image was captured two days ago from this constantly changing region. Yesterday, the strongest solar flare in years was expelled (not shown), a blast classified in the upper X-class. Ultraviolet light from that flare quickly hit the Earth's atmosphere and caused shortwave radio blackouts across both North and South America. Although now rotated to be facing slightly away from the Earth, particles from AR 3664 and subsequent coronal mass ejections (CMEs) might still follow curved magnetic field lines across the inner Solar System and create more Earthly auroras.

Robert Fico, 59, was shot in Handlova, north-east of Bratislava, following a Slovak government meeting.
Shots were fired in front of the House of Culture, before a man was quickly pounced upon and detained by security officials.

Billionaire Frank McCourt's Project Liberty forms consortium to bid for TikTok's US operations
May 15th, 09:27:45
(Reuters) -Entrepreneur and former Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt said on Wednesday his organization, Project Liberty, is forming a consortium to buy social media platform TikTok in the United States.
A law signed by President Joe Biden on April 24 gives the social media platform's owner, ByteDance, until Jan. 19 next year to sell TikTok or face a ban.
The bill was passed by U.S. lawmakers on account of worries that China could access Americans' data or surveil them through the app.
The White House had said it wants to see Chinese-based ownership ended on national security grounds but not a ban on TikTok.
Project Liberty, working with Guggenheim Securities, law firm Kirkland & Ellis, technologies, academics and others, proposed to migrate the platform to a digital open-source protocol.
Inventor of the World Wide Web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, and David Clark, senior research scientist at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, are among the supporters of the bid, the organization said.
Project Liberty had launched the open-source Decentralized Social Networking Protocol in 2021, establishing a shared social graph that is not dependent on a specific application or a centralized platform.
The organization encompasses work of the Project Liberty Institute, with an international partner network that includes academic institutions and a for-profit arm that includes a technology team developing digital infrastructure.

NASA Names Deputy Station Manager, Operations Integration Manager
MAY 14, 2024
NASA selected Dina Contella as the deputy program manager and Bill Spetch as the operations integration manager for the agency’s International Space Station Program, effective Sunday, June 2.
“Dina’s depth of experience with the complex and dynamic aspects of the space station mission will be instrumental for leading through future challenges,” said Dana Weigel, program manager for NASA’s International Space Station Program. “Bill’s extensive experience with space station hardware and transportation systems uniquely position him for the leadership role as the operations integration manager.”
Contella succeeds Weigel, who became space station program manager in April, and the two will share overall management of the International Space Station, including development, integration, and operations, as well as its cargo and commercial missions. Spetch will oversee day-to-day operations, maintenance, and research aboard the orbiting laboratory, taking over the position held by Contella.
Contella has more than 30 years of experience in various roles supporting the International Space Station, Artemis, and the space shuttle. For the past two-and-a-half years, she was the operations and integration manager, responsible for leading real-time aspects of the program, including chairing the International Space Station mission management team. Contella led about 40 dynamic station operations each year, managing day-to-day space station technical risk decisions and programmatic mission integration among the orbiting laboratory’s five international partner agencies.
Prior to her work in the space station program, Contella held technical and management positions of increasing responsibility, including Gateway program mission integration and utilization manager, Advanced Exploration Systems lead for utilization and logistics across multiple Moon-to-Mars programs, and lead for an industry study to enhance NASA’s understanding of commercialization of low Earth orbit. Before these positions, she served as a NASA flight director, the spacewalk operations group lead, a spacewalk liaison stationed in Russia, a spacewalk flight control officer for space shuttle and space station missions, and a space shuttle navigation and computer instructor.
Contella, from Austin, Texas, graduated with a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering from Texas A&M University, College Station.
Spetch has 27 years of experience supporting the space station throughout his career. He most recently was the office manager responsible for the health and integrity of the space station, including sustaining, sparing, and integrating commercial elements onto station and providing real-time engineering support. Before that, he was station transportation integration office manager, acting space station mission integration and operations manager, space station transportation integration office deputy manager, and station Vehicle Integrated Performance Environments and Resources (VIPER) team manager.
The Maple Grove, Minnesota native graduated from the University of Minnesota Minneapolis with a bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics.

15th SPSS innovates with Mount Official Scheduling System
May 15, 2024
MAUI SPACE FORCE STATION, Hawaii (AFNS) - Perched atop the 10,023-foot summit of Haleakalā in Hawaii, lives Space Delta 2’s 15th Space Surveillance Squadron. The 15th SPSS operates the Maui Space Surveillance Complex and is home to small, medium, and large-aperture tracking optics, including the Department of Defense's largest optical telescope designed for satellite tracking and imaging, as well as visible and infrared sensors for data collection on near-Earth and deep-space objects.
Tracking of these deep space objects will soon be made more efficient, thanks to the Mount Official Scheduling System, also known as MOSS.
“The MOSS tool provides a simple and effective avenue to effectively balance scheduling needs,” said U.S. Air Force Maj. Matthew Holland, base operations and sustainment project manager. “MOSS is forecasted to eliminate the available time to operate our sensors that currently goes unused due to these scheduling mishaps, which is currently estimated at 41% of the calendar year.”
In just under six months, the MOSS team created and deployed a web-based application that provides the warfighter with 15-20% more Space Domain Awareness data while also laying the groundwork for future operational capability development and deployment to operational units across the Service.
“When it comes to future enhancement, we want to have a version of MOSS on Secret and [Top Secret] networks so that all of our external partners can access and use the tool because many live on the Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System,” Holland said. “We also want to integrate a function that tracks metrics for our current operations.”
A team of six members, consisting of Guardians and Airmen, enabled 150 more days per year of Electro-Optical telescope usage for non-traditional sensors that provide operationally relevant SDA data to the warfighter, a 41% increase over legacy operations.
“Currently we waste 150 days a year due to scheduling issues that prevent us from operating,” Holland said. “This cloud-based application, made by our own active-duty Guardians, will eliminate those wasted days and enable us to execute operations every day there are not weather impacts or maintenance being conducted.”
By MOSS reducing 15th SPSS operational planning by half, this provides transparent scheduling capabilities to the research and development and intelligence community.
“We aim to pair MOSS with a 15SPSS 'Portal' that we plan to build in the future as our second product team,” Holland said. “The portal will serve as a JWICS homepage for our site and will have sensor status the interactive view/request schedule functionality via MOSS, and a Dropbox type function for pushing data from our site to our operators.”
The comprehensive goal of MOSS is simple, says Holland. “The overall goal for us via MOSS and the Portal will be to ensure we are utilizing our exquisite research and development capabilities in Maui to most effectively serve the SDA communities' needs.”

Trump, Biden Agree To June Presidential Debate On CNN
Update (1148ET): After a morning of geriatric shit talking, President Biden and former President Trump have agreed to a June 27 debate hosted by CNN.
The date means that the two will debate before either candidate's nominations are formally complete, and will be their first televised encounter since 2020.
The debate will be held in CNN's studio in Atlanta, per Axios, citing a network announcement. No audience members will be present, per the Biden campaign's demands.
*
President Biden on Wedensday says he won't participate in the decades-old tradition of three fall debates by the bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates, and has proposed two televised debates in June and September - with no audience, RFK Jr. can't participate, and Trump's mic will be muted when Biden is speaking. Oh, and they can only be hosted by a regime-friendly network.

Michael Granoff, managing partner of venture fund Maniv who worked as a staffer for the 1990s campaign of Bill Clinton, voted for Biden in 2020 but now says he lost confidence in the President and is considering a vote for Trump.
'I am not voting for Biden. I'm not saying I'm voting for Trump, but it's a nonzero chance now,' he told The Free Press.
Republican donor Cliff Asness says he 'spent well over seven figures' to support Trump's primary opponent Nikki Haley, but claims his commitment to making sure another Holocaust doesn't happen is edging out his thoughts that he would never donate to Trump.
'My 'Never Again' is trumping my 'Never Trump' these days,' Asness told Free Press.
Granoff believes that Biden's current stance betrays commitments he made to the world's only Jewish state after Hamas terrorists invaded Israel on October 7, 2023 and engaged in the largest single-day massacre of Jewish people since the Holocaust.
'The speech he gave on October 11 was one of the finest speeches a president has ever made,' Granoff said. 'Had he stuck to that policy, he would be leading in the race right now. I would be raising money for him.'
'Biden is a huge disappointment, really a moral outrage with this arms embargo being only the latest and greatest outrage,' the co-founder of AQR Capital Management continued. 'Despite my long opposition to him, this makes me more likely, though I haven't quite gotten there yet, to see Trump as the better of two bad alternatives.'
Registered Democrat hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman also responded after CNN aired Biden's comments, writing on X his decision to stop arms shipments is 'one of the worst acts against an ally of a sitting president ever.'
'Hopefully, this means he won't be sitting for longer,' he added.
Haim Saban, a billionaire entertainment mogul and Democratic donor, wrote an email to two senior White House advisers last week speaking out against Biden's policy switch up on Israel.
'Let's not forget that there are more Jewish voters who care about Israel than Muslim voters that care about Hamas,' he wrote.

Biden Ducks Official Debates, Wants 2 Instead of 3, Controlled by Friendly Media, Demands Earlier Schedule.
Joe Biden took to Twitter on Wednesday morning to demand two, not three, presidential debates and hope to shift them forward in the calendar year—seemingly so he has time to recover from an expected poor performance before election day.
The Biden campaign even sent a formal letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates, stating that Biden would not be participating in the organization’s debates. Instead, Biden’s team proposed debates in June and September, conducted under an umbrella of corporate-left news organizations, with a scheduled vice-presidential debate in July.

A Closer Look at Joe Biden Debate Video Is Funny and Shows How Bad He Truly Is
As she also noted, Biden's acceptance was maximum cringe, with Biden trying to act tough, and saying "Make my day, pal," like he thought he was Clint Eastwood rather than a slurring "elderly man with a poor memory." Oh, and the lying about beating Trump in the prior debates was something else when he Biden infamously lied about his son's laptop.
He also wants no live audience, mics cut once the person's time expires and while the other person is talking, only certain news organizations hosting it, and no RFK Jr.
Just exactly how many edits are in there? He has five edits in there in a 14-second video. He can't even get through a 14-second video without all that help. That shows just how bad he is, he can't even get out more than a sentence without an edit. In a debate, he's not going to be able to look to a teleprompter to give him the answer and to help tell him what to say.

May 15, 2024, 05:00 ET
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., May 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Today, Atomic Canyon, a pioneer of AI nuclear search, announced a new project with the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), home of the Frontier supercomputer, to build a safe, efficient open-source AI model for the nuclear sector. Atomic Canyon will use Frontier – the world's fastest supercomputer – to train the company's AI model to understand complex nuclear terminology. Their collaboration with ORNL is a significant milestone, marking the development of the first AI model tailored for nuclear data and content.
Ridge National Laboratory
Harnessing the power of Frontier, Atomic Canyon aims to open-source nuclear sector terminologies, helping to develop a nuclear AI infrastructure to build upon and to provide a powerful tool for efficient data navigation, document indexing, performance improvement and cost savings.
This advanced technology, developed by Atomic Canyon and trained on millions of publicly available documents from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Agency-wide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), will utilize sentence-embedding models. These algorithms convert written sentences into numerical representations to allow AI to grasp nuclear terminology and accurately discern information. This deeper understanding makes the AI more effective and helps prevent AI "hallucinations" and biases during search and data analysis. Atomic Canyon's technology will provide innovators with trusted, accurate assistance in understanding the broad spectrum of nuclear safety and security requirements. The model will not be trained on sensitive information on the design or operation of nuclear technologies, but will be able to assist with analyzing a vast array of public regulatory guides, inspection reports, and other documents, with the goal of increasing safety and public accountability.
Frontier, the world's fastest and the first to achieve "exascale" computing performance (a quintillion calculations per second), will play a pivotal role in the collaboration between Atomic Canyon and ORNL. This project promises significant benefits for nuclear researchers, scientists, engineers, and stakeholders worldwide. Leveraging the capacity and speed of AI, alongside the transparency of open-source technology, the resulting platform is poised to take on the sector's most complex challenges, driving a revitalization of nuclear energy.
"Our leading-edge technology is tailored to the nuclear sector," says Trey Lauderdale, CEO and founder of Atomic Canyon. "Collaborating with ORNL's premier supercomputing facilities such as Frontier will help our platform understand complex nuclear concepts, removing a major barrier to AI implementation in the nuclear sector. Moreover, our open-source approach will encourage transparency and collaboration among nuclear stakeholders and innovators focused on safety and security. Our goal is to help the world's best and brightest have the information and technology they need to help navigate the climate and energy crisis."
Last month, Atomic Canyon's Neutron search platform launched to significant interest from the nuclear sector. This collaboration represents a broader initiative to expand access and facilitate innovation in the nuclear sector on a much larger scale.
By training their AI on nuclear terminology, Atomic Canyon will develop a safe, accurate tool that will enable researchers around the world to harness AI's potential for solving nuclear challenges. This has become increasingly important, as climate change and soaring energy demands underscore the need for a transition to more abundant, clean energy sources.
"Open-source AI search, trained using the lab's Frontier supercomputer, will play an essential role in the research, engineering, and development of nuclear energy and the nuclear sector, now and into the future," says ORNL's Thomas M. Evans, Group Lead and Distinguished R&D Staff, HPC Methods for Nuclear Applications. "This is crucial to advance nuclear innovation and move toward a future powered by sustainable energy."

About Atomic Canyon
AI powers the future at Atomic Canyon. Atomic Canyon's advanced AI platform modernizes solutions across the nuclear energy sector, starting with Neutron—simplifying pages of documentation, enhancing Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) data access and unlocking workflow efficiency. Utilizing the NRC's extensive library, the AI is a knowledgeable navigator, making data more accessible and promoting industry knowledge-sharing.
Atomic Canyon was founded by CEO Trey Lauderdale (previously CEO and Founder of Voalte, acquired for $180m) and CTO and Co-Founder Kristian Kielhofner (previously CTO of Star 2 Star Communications, acquired for $437m). Their vision is to lead in AI-driven cost efficiencies for the nuclear energy sector.
Atomic Canyon's AI application is designed for use in and by nuclear power plants, manufacturers of next-generation reactors and government and national laboratories.

She needs to get kicked out of Congress and sent to jail. Epstein got her elected
Stacey Plaskett represents the territory where Epstein brought his victims.
"There's enough here to raise concern. And I think the questions should be asked if these individuals were actually the source," McPhail said. "And if they weren't — if this was actually Jeffrey Epstein's money that was passed through them — then yes, that would be an unlawful straw-donor violation."A lawyer representing Indyke and Kahn said they weren't reimbursed for the donations. An attorney representing Groff declined to comment.
The August 2014 primary was a close race.Plaskett won, defeating the well-known Malone by just 737 votes. One local news organization called it "one of the biggest upsets in Virgin Islands politics."
It wasn't until a month later that Plaskett and Epstein met for the first time in person, introduced by Erika Kellerhals, a local lawyer. They had a meeting on September 5, according to copies of Epstein's schedules obtained by Insider through a Freedom of Information Act request.
Plaskett was expected to coast to victory in the general election. The local Democratic Party has a firm grip on the territory's politics. Since 1981, the Virgin Islands has only once sent a non-Democrat to Congress.
Nonetheless, de Jongh pushed for more money to support Plaskett. In October 2014, she wrote an email to Epstein memorializing a $13,000 donation to a Democratic Party operation in Plaskett's support from the Southern Trust Co.
"Hi Jeffrey, I am confirming with you that STC will send $13K to the Democratic Party for the benefit of Stacey Plaskett," de Jongh wrote.
'We would have a friend in Stacey'
Epstein kept up the generosity. In September that year, a consultant on Plaskett's campaign invited Epstein to two dinners on St. Thomas and St. Croix, the two main islands in the US Virgin Islands, emails show. Epstein swiftly promised he would donate the "max" but said he didn't want his name attached.
The records dredged up by JPMorgan appear damning. Epstein practically had the entire governmentin his pocket through de Jongh and received $300 million in tax incentives over a 19-year span, JPMorgan has said.
Plaskett's connections to Epstein drew some attention in 2019 after federal prosecutors charged him with trafficking girls for sex. After initially refusing to return his campaign contributions, Plaskett later said she would donate the funds "to Virgin Islands organizations that work with women and children."
"I am uncomfortable having received money from someone who has been accused of these egregious actions multiple times," Plaskett said at the time.(Fucking LIAR)

Emir of Qatar to visit Poland, Polish president says
The emir of Qatar will pay an official visit to Poland, Polish President Andrzej Duda has said. We're expecting the official visit of His Highness Emir of Qatar in Poland in early July," Duda said on Wednesday while on a visit to Qatar.
Representatives of the Qatar Investment Authority will also visit Poland, the Polish president added.
Duda said that Warsaw's economic relations with Doha translate into Poland's security, primarily energy security, as he recalled that Qatari gas has been shipped to Poland since 2015.

Hageman: Judge Merchan is making such blatant, blatant, reversible errors; he absolutely knows that if there is a conviction in this case, it will be reversed on appeal, and it's as though he is attempting to do that because he knows that no such appeal would actually take place prior to November, yet he would have a conviction on the books, which is the classic; and I think in this case, exposes the way in which they are using lawfare against President Trump. I have never seen a judge make the kinds of errors that this judge has made in this case before, and I think he recognized that if there is a conviction, it would be overturned on appeal.

AMC’s stock tumbles on news company will issue 23.3 million of shares in debt-for-equity swap
(Just MILKED ya in 2 days…that fugly intra-day chart yesterday warned of this absolutely it did and they did the deal starting late Monday/early yesterday based on the implied value….LATHER,RINSE, REPEAT)
Swap and $250 million ATM offering will help shore up balance sheet and reduce net leverage by about 10%, says analyst.
AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc.’s stock tumbled 22% Wednesday to brake the rally of the past two days, after the cinema operator disclosed that it will issue 23.3 million shares in a debt-for-equity exchange for $163.9 million of bonds that mature in 2026. The 10%/12% cash/PIK toggle bonds — PIK stands for payment-in-kind — offer an issuer the ability to defer interest payments in return for a higher coupon later.
Based on the aggregate principal amount of the bonds plus $6.9 million of accrued interest, the stock is being issued at an implied value of $7.33 a share, the company said in a regulatory filing. The stock AMC, -24.23% closed Tuesday at $6.85 after rising 32% on the day. It was last quoted at $4.75.
The stock took off on Monday along with other meme stocks, after trader Keith Gill, aka Roaring Kitty, posted his first tweet since 2021 and revived the trading frenzy from that period.

Helium leak delays Starliner crewed test flight
May 14, 2024
WASHINGTON — The launch of Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft on its first crewed flight has slipped at least four days because of a helium leak in the spacecraft.
Boeing announced May 14 that the launch of the Crew Flight Test (CFT) mission, previously scheduled for May 17, has been rescheduled for no earlier than May 21 at 4:43 p.m. Eastern on an Atlas 5 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
The cause of the delay, the company said, was what it described as a “small helium leak” in the spacecraft’s service module, which engineers traced a flange in one of Starliner’s reaction control thrusters. Helium is used to pressurize the propulsion system on the spacecraft.
Boeing did not state in the announcement when the leak was detected, including if it was known during the previous launch attempt May 6 versus some time later, or if the leak would have prevented a launch had it been detected during the countdown. Company spokespersons did not respond to questions about the leak.
The May 6 launch was scrubbed not because of any problems with Starliner but instead with a valve in the rocket’s Centaur upper stage. The rocket was rolled back to the vertical integration facility building near the launch pad, and Boeing said in its statement that the valve was successfully replaced May 11 and tested to confirm it was working properly.
According to the Boeing statement, the company is working with NASA to characterize the leak rather than replace the flange. “As a part of the testing, Boeing will bring the propulsion system up to flight pressurization just as it does prior to launch, and then allow the helium system to vent naturally to validate existing data and strengthen flight rationale,” Boeing stated.
There had been few updates about the status of the mission after the announcement it would be delayed to May 17 to replace the Centaur valve. There had been hints, though, that the mission might slip beyond that date. After previously stating that the CFT crew of Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams would remain at the Kennedy Space Center for the next launch attempt, NASA said May 10 that the two had returned to Houston while staying in a pre-launch medical quarantine. NASA also informed media May 13 that the rollout of the Atlas 5 back to the pad had been delayed a day to May 16. In both cases, though, NASA said the launch remained scheduled for no earlier than May 17.
This incident is the latest in a long string of delays for the program. Various problems with the spacecraft, such as software, valves, parachute components and wiring tape, have all contributed to years of cumulative delays in development of the spacecraft and its test flights. Boeing hopes that, with a successful CFT mission, it will get those problems behind it and enable regular crew rotation missions to the International Space Station as part of a $4.2 billion contract the company received from NASA in 2014.
NASA officials, while eager to start using Starliner and end its reliance solely on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon, emphasized after the May 6 scrub that they were not in a hurry to launch the CFT mission. “We’re not in a rush to fly from a station standpoint. We did clear our summer schedule intentionally to give us plenty of runway for the CFT mission,” Dana Weigel, NASA ISS program manager, said at the briefing after the scrub.

TEXAS: "The Pelican Island Bridge in Galveston was closed Wednesday after a passing barge struck one of its supports, causing significant damage, officials said. The collision happened around 10 a.m, City of Galveston spokeswoman Marissa Barnett said. The lift bridge, which spans the west end of the Galveston Ship Channel, connected Galveston Island with Pelican Island, the home of Texas A&M University at Galveston.
In an alert to students and community members, Texas A&M said the bridge was closed to all traffic. The damage briefly knocked power out to the island, but it had been restored by 11 a.m. The bridge is the only way to drive off the dredge spoil island."

‘Enough’: Controversial ID program for illegal immigrants targeted by GOP senator
Adam Shaw Tue, May 14, 2024
FIRST ON FOX: A top Republican senator is moving forward with apush to block a controversial program that would give ID cards to illegal immigrants as early as this summer.
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., is introducing the "No Taxpayer Funds for Illegal Immigrant Identity Cards Act" which would bar any federal funds from going to the ICE Secure Docket Card program or any similar program.
The ICE Secure Docket Card program was first reported on in 2022, and Fox News Digital reported last week that ICE is planning a limited rollout of the program this summer, with a distribution of approximately 10,000 cards. While the agency stressed that plans are "pre-decisional" and still subject to change, it is expected the cards will be issued in three or four locations in the U.S.
TAXPAYER-FUNDED ID PROGRAM FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS EXPECTED TO BEGIN THIS SUMMER
The agency said the program will "modernize documentation provided to some noncitizens" but stressed it would not be an official form of federal ID.
"While the specifics of the card and pilot are under development, it is important to note the secure card will not be an official form of federal identification," the agency said. "The secure card will indicate it is for use by DHS agencies and would be provided only after national security background checks have been performed."
But the program faces Republican opposition, with lawmakers having consistently opposed the program.
LEAKED IMAGES SHOW BIDEN ADMIN'S PLANNED ICE ID CARD FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
Hawley’s bill would also require the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General to report on any costs associated with the program, or any similar program to grant cards to those in the country illegally.
"Joe Biden opened the border and ushered in an era of unprecedented chaos in the US. And now, rather than getting the crisis under control,he wants to use Americans’ money to fund ID cards for illegals." Hawley said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
"Enough. Biden should be deporting illegal immigrants and securing our border, not giving them IDs and making it easier for them to take advantage of taxpayer benefits," he said. ICE has defended the program, saying it would allow officials to more easily verify identities via the DHS system.
ICE DEVELOPING PROGRAM TO GIVE ID CARDS TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, AS BORDER CRISIS RAGES
"Moving to a secure card will save the agency millions, free up resources and ensure information is quickly accessible to DHS officials while reducing the agency’s FOIA backlog," the spokesperson said. "For provisionally released noncitizens, the digital modernization will provide ongoing access to important immigration documents through the secure card and connected portal."
Meanwhile, the administration isproposing a federal rule to allow officials to deport those determined to be national security and public safety threats earlier in the asylum process.(It’s already in the law)
But Hawley’s bill comes a day after it was revealed that aColombian national wanted for aggravated homicidein his home country was encountered in November, but wasreleased into the U.S. ICE agentsarrested him in Massachusetts earlier this month.

NYCB sells $5 billion loan book to JPMorgan, an ‘important first step’ in turnaround
(Muh Turd Polishing 101….remember Munchkins put money into this too)
New York Community Bancorp’s stock gave back recent gains Wednesday on the heels of a $5 billion loan sale to JPMorgan Chase & Co., which marks a fresh move in the bank’s plan to turn a profit.
Jefferies analyst Casey Haire said the deal for JPMorgan Chase JPM to acquire the mortgage-warehouse loans marks an “important first step to restore credibility” as NYCB looks to reverse recent losses. NYCB’s stock NYCB, -5.63% fell 4% on Wednesday as it gave back recent gains. The stock is up 1.8% in the past week and ahead by 31.5% in the past month.
Measured against its starting point for 2024, however, the stock remains 62% lower for the year after a surprise loss and a material-weakness disclosure earlier this year.
The loan sale marks “incremental progress from the train wreck back in February and March,” Janney analyst Chris Marinac said in an email to MarketWatch. On Wednesday, Jefferies reiterated a hold rating and a stock-price target of $3.50 for NYCB on the heels of the bank’s loan-sale deal, which is expected to close in the third quarter.
JPMorgan’s NYCB loan purchase resembles a smaller-scale version of the bank’s work with other banks to provide $30 billion in capital to struggling First Republic Bank last year, according to a source familiar with the bank. JPMorgan ended up buying First Republic in a government-led transaction.
JPMorgan’s Commercial & Investment Bank is adding the NYCB loan portfolio to its sizeable loan-securitization business, while providing capital to a commercial client that was shedding a noncore business at a competitive market price, the source said. Common-equity Tier 1, or CET1, ratios reflect a lender’s capital against its assets, which include cash and stock and other liquid holdings. Meanwhile, NYCB’s loan-to-deposit ratio will go down to 104% from 110% as the loan sale to JPMorgan increases the bank’s liquidity profile.
Even at 104%, however, the bank will still be “meaningfully above” the average loan-to-deposit ratio of its peer group, Jefferies noted.

‘Outlook for Ukraine Bleak’ as Russia Masses 510,000 Troops on Frontline.
An expert has warned that the “outlook for Ukraine is bleak” as recentfigures indicate over half a million Russian troopshave been mobilized to the Ukrainian border. The now dramatically overpowered Ukrainian defense is grappling with depleting ammunition and manpower shortages as it awaits international assistance.
“The Russian forces have now expanded to 510,000 troops. The outlook for Ukraine is bleak. Its allies must replenish stockpiles,” said Dr. Jack Watling of the hawkish Royal United Services Institute.
The current objective of the highly fortified Russian forces involves the broad sweep to capture Kharkov, Ukraine’s second-largest city. UK Defense Secretary Grant Shapps claimed this aggressive move had “caught the West napping,” although experts warned last month that Russia was positioned to capture the city within months.
Russian forces recently launched another offensive in the northeastern regions of Ukraine, increasing the pressure on the already overstretched Ukrainian defense. In less than a week, the Russian military has effectively occupied between 38 to 47 square miles, capturing towns and villages and eroding Ukrainian control.
These developments come as Ukrainian forces are expectantly waiting for international aid, with small quantities starting to trickle in from the U.S.
According to Yurii Federenko, a battalion commander, it will take a minimum of two months before the inbound supplies can adequately supplement Ukrainian defense needs.
This additional pressure on the Ukrainian forces further contributes to the defense instability in significant territories such as the regions surrounding Avdiivka and Chasiv Yar. The current situation signals a strategic advantage for Russia, commanding a challenging predicament for the Western allies and Ukraine.
In April, several experts said ”the writing is on the wall for Ukraine” and predicted the country may only have “weeks” left in its war with Russia.

The White House has told Congress it plans to send more than $1bn (£800m) in new weapons to Israel.
This comes despite the US being opposed to a full-scale invasion by the Israeli military on the southern Gaza city of Rafah.
It said last week it had paused a shipment of bombs to Israel over concerns civilians would be killed if used in densely populated areas.
The package can be blocked by Congress if a majority in both chambers object.
The package, confirmed by US media, would include $700m in tank ammunition, $500m in tactical vehicles and $60m in mortar rounds, according to the Associated Press news agency……..

‘Orban Next!’ Pro-Ukraine Accounts Celebrate Assassination Attempt on Slovak PM Fico.
Pro-Ukraine social media accounts are cheering the shooting of Robert Fico, the Prime Minister of Slovakia. The 59-year-old European Union (EU) and NATO leader, an ally of Hungary’s Viktor Orban, has opposed continuing to fund the Western proxy war with Russia in Ukraine, as well as the sanctions duel that has disrupted European energy supplies while having no meaningful impact on Russia’s growing economy.
• “Hero!” declared one user of the suspect. He posted a separate message asking, “Victor [sic] Orban you watching?” — as if to suggest the Trump ally, who also opposes open-ended support for Ukraine, will be shot if he doesn’t change his stance.
• Other users echoed this sentiment, with one user posting “Orban should take notice” and many users, often with the Ukrainian flag by their name, posting messages reading “Orban next” or “Orban is next.”
• Lots of #NAFO types reacting to the shooting of Robert Fico, the anti-war Prime Minister of Slovakia, by expressing their hope that @PM_ViktorOrban is targeted next. Sick people. pic.twitter.com/Xbpux37xEs
— Jack Montgomery (@JackBMontgomery) May 15, 2024
• “Karma. In the future, all Kremlin vassals will have to take this into account,” gloated one user.
• “Finally, some good news,” reacted a user with Hungarian, European Union, and Ukrainian flags in their handle.
• “Soon he will meet [P]rigozhin in the hell [sic],” added another user, who also included the Ukrainian flag and the hashtags #Fuckrussia #Fuckputin #SlavaUkraini #NATO and #NATOWAVE in their account biography. Yevgeny Prigozhin was the leader of Russia’s Wagner Group, who died in a plane crash last year.
Fico’s condition and the identity and motive of his shooter were unknown as of the time of publication.

EU state’s leader calls for end to Ukraine conflict
It is naive to think that Kiev can recapture all the territories it claims as its own from Russia, Czech President Petr Pavel says
Russia and Ukraine should end their conflict and engage in negotiations, Czech President Petr Pavel has said, stressing that thediplomatic process must involve both Kiev and Moscow.
In an interview with Sky News on Tuesday, Pavel, who previously served as the chairman of NATO’s Military Committee and the chief of the Czech Republic’s General Staff,expressed doubtthat Ukraine can achieve a clear victory over Russia.
“We have to be realistic.It would be naïveto say that Ukraine can fully restore the control over the territories in the foreseeable future. Russia will not give up the territory it is occupying now,” he said, referring to four former Ukrainian territories that voted to join Russia in autumn 2022, as well as Crimea, which did so several years earlier.
Pavel stressed that “we need to stop the war and then start negotiations about [a] future arrangement.” He suggested that “there might be some kind of a compromise,” but cautioned that it would be unattainable without theparticipation of Ukraine, Russia-, and other countries that could act as guarantors of the agreement==.
The Czech president said that while the West has enough resources to prop up Ukraine’s military, NATO cannot intervene directly on the battlefield because it would trigger a direct clash with Russia.
When pressed whether he believes Ukraine could eventually join the US-led military bloc, Pavel responded in the affirmative, adding, however, that “we have to come up with a kind of a settlement, restore peace in the region, and then we can talk about the potential membership of Ukraine.” (NATO will never invite Ukraine into the fold, they have embezzled, stolen, sold and black marketed a majority of the money & weapons sent to them. Ukraine is a terrorist country at this point, there is no turning back to a normal place.)
He also weighed in on the Russian offensive in Kharkov Region, noting that it is “the result of long preparation,” and that Ukraine had been bracing for this for a long time while asking the West for more weapons. Nevertheless, he claimed that the West had been “overcautious with our [arms] deliveries” to Kiev, warning that Ukraine may “eventually lose the war.”
Ukrainian officials have long warned that they would struggle to hold back Russia if it launched a major offensive. In recent days, the Russian Defense Ministry reported advances in the border Kharkov Region, claiming to have captured several settlements while Kiev has scrambled to send reinforcements.

Slovak prime minister shot: Live updates
Robert Fico was wounded when an assailant fired multiple shots outside a government meeting
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico was shot and wounded on Wednesday when multiple shots were fired at him as he greeted the public after a government meeting.
Fico was taken to hospital by his security detail after the shooting, while his attacker was detained by police.
According to local media reports, four shots were fired at Fico as he shook hands with supporters outside a meeting in Handlova, around 150km east of Bratislava. At least one of the shots struck the prime minister, witnesses reported.
15 May 2024
17:44 GMT
Fico’s security detail was “not in order,” the former head of the Office for the Protection of Constitutional Officials, Juraj Zabojnik, told Dennik N. “When four or five shots are fired, someone is guilty. I didn't see anyone jumping in front of the prime minister,” Zabojnik said.
The security team should have placed operatives among the crowd, he continued, adding that while “it may happen that the first shot gets out,” Fico should have been shielded from any subsequent shots.
“When something like this happens and with such a large body of security personnel, it will be a very tough subject of investigation,” Zabojnik concluded.
17:40 GMT
Fico is still being operated on, Labor Minister Erik Tomas told TV Markiza. The operation will take a long time as several of the prime minister’s organs were damaged, Tomas said.
17:11 GMT
Footage has emerged showing the moment Fico was shot. The video shows the prime minister shaking hands with supporters across a metal barrier, before the gunman fires around five times. As Fico collapses, the attacker is swarmed by security guards and bystanders.
17:01 GMT
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that he was “indignant” to hear of the “heinous” attempt on Fico’s life. “I know Robert Fico to be a courageous and strong-spirited man. I very much hope that these qualities will help him to withstand this difficult situation,” Putin said in a statement.
16:28 GMT
The Ta3 TV network has named the attacker as Juraj Cintula, born in 1953. Cintula is reportedly a poet and founder of the Slovak Association of Writers, and a supporter of the opposition Progressive Slovakia party.
In a statement, the Slovak Association of Writers said that it would investigate whether Cintula is a member and revoke his membership if so. “We express our indignation at such a brutal act, which has no parallel in the history of Slovakia.”
15:05 GMT
Slovak President Zuzana Caputova has urged the public to refrain from drawing hasty conclusions about the attack on Fico, and to wait for information from the police.
14:56 GMT
Multiple media outlets have identified Fico’s attacker as a 71-year-old man from the town of Levice. According to the Dennik N newspaper, the man shot Fico with a legally owned short weapon.
14:18 GMT
The attempt on Fico’s life is an unprecedented threat to Slovak democracy, President-elect Peter Pellegrini said in a statement. “If we express differing political views with guns in the squares, and not in the polling stations, we threaten everything that we have built together during the 31 years of Slovak sovereignty,” he wrote.
Pellegrini, an ally of Fico, defeated ex-foreign minister Ivan Korcok in a vote last month, and will replace the pro-Western Zuzana Caputova as head of state in June.
14:08 GMT
Fico was hit “multiple times” and his condition is “life-threatening,” the prime minister’s office announced on Facebook. He is currently being airlifted from Handlova to a hospital in Banska Bystrica as flying him to Bratislava would take too long, Fico’s office added. “The next few hours will decide” whether he survives, the statement concluded.
14:00 GMT
Footage shared on social media showed a stricken Fico being helped to his car by his security detail. The politician was bundled into the back of the vehicle and rushed away, while police officers handcuffed his suspected attacker. The suspect appears to have shot Fico from point-blank range.

VIDEO: “I 100% Believe” He Will Stand With The Establishment – RINO NV Senate Candidate Sam Brown’s Campaign Staffers Expose His Anti-Trump Agenda in Undercover Recording
Video recordings provided exclusively to The Gateway Pundit by an undercover journalist show Nevada Senate candidate Sam Brown’s staffers revealing a hidden agenda to appeal to the RINO Establishment if he is sent to Washington, D.C.
RINO Sam Brown and America First Nevada Senate candidate Dr. Jeff Gunter are currently vying for President Trump’s endorsement and a win in the GOP primary for the U.S. Senate in Nevada.
In an undercover interview, Nevada political consultant Woodrow Johnston noted that Trump’s endorsement “is so powerful if he endorses someone they’ll win the primary.”
The Gateway Pundit published an interview with Jeff Gunter, a real Trump supporter and Trump’s former ambassador to Iceland, earlier this year. We also reported that Sam Brown is financially backed by Americans for Prosperity, the Koch-backed group that staunchly supported Nikki Haley since last November; long-time Mitch McConnell donor Gregory Ciongoli; Thomas McInerney, a John Bolton megadonor who also backed DeSantis for President; and several other never-Trump donors.
“He’s a hardcore RINO, a Mitch McConnell guy, loves Nikki Haley and is funded by the same people,” said Gunter.
In the interviews below, taken at the 2024 Nevada GOP Convention, Sam Brown Field Director Nikolas Madison confirms that Brown will "absolutely" stand "with the Establishment." When asked if he'd do that, Madison responded, "I 100% believe so." He also agreed that members of Congress need to vote against Trump and thinks Sam Brown "is capable of recognizing the situation."
The Gateway Pundit contacted Nikolas Madison, but he did not immediately provide comment.

Peru’s Government Officially Classifies Trans, Nonbinary, and Intersex as ‘Mentally Ill’ People
The Peruvian government has taken a firm stand on the issue of gender identity. A new decree, signed by President Dina Boluarte, has officially classified transsexualism, nonbinary, and intersex conditions as “mental illnesses.”
Supreme Decree No. 009-2024-SA specifies “transsexualism” and “gender identity disorder in children” as mental health conditions, The Telegraph reported.
It further includes “dual-role transvestism, fetishist transvestism, egodystonic sexual orientation, and other gender identity disorders” in the same category. This groundbreaking decision by the Peruvian health ministry is seen by many as a bold affirmation of biological truths and a commitment to providing appropriate mental health care.
In defense of this action, the ministry asserts that this classification will “guarantee full coverage of medical attention for mental health.”

Rep. Greg Steube: Well, what’s not being talked about is your next paragraph, the reason and his motivation for that. So if you could just walk through that for the committee.
Robert Costello: Yeah, obviously, when we started to talk about the NDAs, and this is the very first meeting at the Regency Hotel, when, by the way, Rudy Giuliani was not involved in representing Donald Trump at that time. Cohn testified that it was a conspiracy between Giuliani and Costello as of this date. Totally false. In any event, he also said that he didn’t discuss the Stormy Daniels matter with us, and he certainly did. I specifically asked him because he kept on going back saying, I can’t believe they’re trying to put me in jail for these NDAs.
So I said, Michael, tell me about the NDA. Tell me about Stormy Daniels. What did you do? He said, I got a call from a lawyer representing Stormy Daniels who represented that she was going to testify that Donald Trump had sex with Stormy Daniels. Michael Cohen said, I didn’t believe the allegation, but I knew that such an allegation would be terribly embarrassing. He said, It would be embarrassing. He focused on Melania Trump. He said, I didn’t want to embarrass Melania Trump. He said, That’s I decided to take care of this on my own. I went back to that several times.
You did this on your own? “On my own.”
Did Donald Trump have anything to do with it? “No.”
Did you get the money from Donald Trump? “No.”
From any of his organizations? “No.”
From anybody connected to Donald Trump? “No”.
Where did you get the money? “I took out a HELOC loan against my property.”
I said, Why would you do that? He said, “I didn’t want anybody to know where I got this money.”
I didn’t want Melania to know. I didn’t want my own wife to know because she’s in charge, he said, of the Cohen family finances. He said, “If she saw money coming out of my account, she’d ask me 100 questions, and I didn’t want to answer any of them.”

White House 'Deeply Troubled' As Georgia Enacts Law To Thwart NGO 'Interference'
Defying large domestic protests and condemnation from the United States and other Western governments, the Republic of Georgia's parliament on Tuesday adopted a "foreign agents" law that would impede foreign nongovernmental organizations' (NGOs') ability to operate in the country - and put Georgia's European Union and NATO ambitions in jeopardy.
Georgia's president, Salome Zourabichvili, has vowed to veto the measure, but the parliament approved the law by a 84-30 margin, only needs 76 to override a veto.After the law's passage, Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters:
"We’re deeply troubled by Georgia’s Kremlin-style 'foreign agents' legislation…we have been outspoken about our concerns with the legislation, which runs counter to democratic values and would move Georgia further away from the values of the European Union and, let’s not forget, also NATO."

‘I honest to God believe I was drugged’: magician David Copperfield’s alleged victims speak out
For two 15-year-old girls in the early 1990s, meeting David Copperfield, the world famous magician, seemed like the thrill of a lifetime.
Carla says she remembers the way Copperfield gave her his phone number after a 1991 show in Georgia. About two years later in San Francisco, Lily says, she felt giddy when the master illusionist picked her to join him on stage for a magic trick.
Both girls were in high school at the time and had attended Copperfield’s shows with their parents.
The women, now in their 40s, come from different backgrounds and have never spoken to each other, but they do have one thing in common. They claim the events that followed these encounters changed their lives.
Carla says she feels she was “groomed” by Copperfield for more than two years. She describes how he sent her notes and gifts, including a teddy bear and Valentine’s day balloon when she was 16. A note attached to one – a photo of which was seen by the Guardian – reads: “In 2 years I will be back”.
After Carla turned 18, Copperfield became the first man she had sex with, she says. He was more than twice her age. Copperfield’s lawyers denied he groomed Carla and said they had a “consensual relationship”.
Lily claims Copperfield groped her breasts on stage while performing a trick in front of her father and sister who watched aghast, they have confirmed, from the front row. She says she had nightmares for years about Copperfield using his magic on her.

Israeli Ministers Join March Calling for Settlements in Gaza, Expulsion of Palestinians
Ben Gvir and a minister in Netanyahu's Likud party joined the march
Members of the Israeli government joined thousands of Israelis in a march in southern Israel on Tuesday led by far-right activists calling for the re-establishment of Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip and the expulsion of Palestinians.
The march commemorated the 76th anniversary of the day Israel celebrates its Independence Day, known as the Nakba, or catastrophe, to the Palestinians as more than 700,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes to create the modern state of Israel in 1948.
Joining the march in the Israeli city of Sderot were two ministers in Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, a member of Netanyahu’s Likud party, and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, leader of the Jewish Power party.
“In order to preserve the security achievements that our soldiers lost their lives for, we must resettle Gaza with security forces and settlers that will embrace the land with love,” Karhi said in a speech at the march, according to Haaretz. “This is the only real way to make the Hamas Nazis pay a price and to defend our nation and country.”
Ben Gvir also spoke and said settlements and the expulsion of Palestinians are the “true solution” to the situation in Gaza. “We must return to Gaza now! We are coming home to the Holy Land!” he said. “And second, we must encourage emigration. Encourage the voluntary emigration of the residents of Gaza. It is moral!”
Ben Gvir and other Israeli officials have framed their desire for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza as “voluntary migration,” but the Israeli onslaught is making the Strip uninhabitable and could give the Palestinians no choice but to leave if they have the option.
In October 2023, a document prepared by Israel’s Intelligence Ministry that was leaked to the media said the best post-war scenario for Israel would be the expulsion of all 2.3 million Palestinians living in Gaza. Since then, Israel has killed about 1.5% of the population of Gaza and has destroyed most of the Strip’s infrastructure.
Limor Son Har-Melech, a member of the Israeli Knesset and Ben Gvir’s Jewish Power party, said last month that there are secret plans in the works to build Jewish settlements in Gaza. “You will see practical steps, including plans and work in government offices and security services. There is intensive work behind the scenes on this,” she said.

Judge Nichols gives Steve Bannon until Monday to respond to DOJ demand for immediate prison sentence.
Here’s the current situation:
US District Judge Carl Nichols, who oversaw Bannon’s initial trial, had put a hold on Bannon’s sentence while the appeal was ongoing.
Nichols has now given Bannon until Monday to respond to the DOJ’s latest request.
The DOJ’s stance is clear: unless Bannon can show his appeal is not merely a delay and has substantial grounds, he should begin his imprisonment.

Veteran DEA agent sentenced to 3 years for bribing former colleague to leak intelligence
https://www.yahoo.com/news/veteran-dea-agent-sentenced-3-193323865.html
NEW YORK (AP) — A former U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration supervisor was sentenced Tuesday to three years in prison for bribing a longtime colleague to leak DEA intelligence to Miami defense lawyers seeking to profit off the timing of indictments and other sensitive information about drug investigations.
A federal jury last year convicted Manny Recio of bribery and honest-services wire fraud amid a flurry of misconduct cases involving DEA agents accused of corruption and other federal crimes. Recio's former colleague, John Costanzo Jr., was sentenced last month to four years behind bars for orchestrating the $100,000 bribery scheme.
“He decided to cash in on his connections," U.S. District Court Judge Paul Oetken said of Recio during a hearing in Manhattan, adding the bribery conspiracy compromised DEA investigations. “He knew better.”
A decorated investigator who worked more than two decades in the DEA, Recio made an emotional apology in front of several family members and said he accepted his conviction. He told the judge he had “lost everything” through this prosecution, including his life savings.
“I don't even have a credit card, your honor," he said. “I stand before you without any excuses.”
The DEA did not respond to a request for comment.
Recio, 55, retired from the DEA in 2018 but remained close to Costanzo as he began recruiting clients as a private investigator for several Miami defense lawyers.
Prosecutors said Recio had been motivated by greed, writing in court filings that his “spending habits, including his purchase of a 2021 Porsche Macan, demonstrate the motive that led him to seek unlawful profits through bribery.”
“The ink was hardly dry on his retirement papers before he launched into this scheme,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Sheb Swett told the judge. “What they did was engage in law enforcement by secret, by inside information.”
Following the conviction of the two former DEA supervisors last year, federal prosecutors shifted their focus to the defense lawyers they said bankrolled the $100,000 bribery scheme, David Macey and Luis Guerra, recently getting clearance to review hundreds of normally privileged communications with Recio. Macey and Guerra have not been charged and have not responded to repeated requests for comment.
Much of the prosecution turned on text messages and wiretapped phone calls between the lawmen after a longtime DEA snitch turned on the same agency that launched his lucrative career as the go-to fixer for traffickers, prosecutors and defense attorneys alike.
Recio repeatedly asked Costanzo to query names in a confidential DEA database to keep abreast of federal investigations that would interest his new employers. The two also discussed the timing of high-profile arrests and the exact date in 2019 when prosecutors planned to bring charges against businessman Alex Saab, a top criminal target in Venezuela and suspected bag man for the country’s president, Nicolás Maduro.
In exchange, prosecutors said, Recio secretly funneled $73,000 in purchases to Costanzo, including plane tickets and a down payment on his condo in suburban Coral Gables, Florida. The two also deleted hundreds of calls and messages to a burner phone.
Recio's defense attorneys portrayed the former DEA supervisor as a generous friend and mentor who wouldn't have met Macey and Guerra if not for Costanzo's introduction. In seeking a more lenient sentence of 18 months, they collected letters from several other defense attorneys who praised Recio's work as an investigator in complex cases in which defendants sought to cooperate with the DEA.
“His intent was never to harm the DEA mission,” defense attorney Ronald Gainor said. “What we have here is someone who made l

ELECTION COVERAGE
Patrick Morrisey is GOP candidate for governor
By Brad McElhinny
May 14, 2024 - 9:59 pm
Patrick Morrisey, a three-term attorney general, has won the Republican nomination for governor.
The governor’s seat opened up because two-term Gov. Jim Justice, a Republican, is up against a term limit. He is running for U.S. Senate.
Competitors for the Republican nomination included Morrisey, two-term Secretary of State Mac Warner, former House Judiciary Chairman Moore Capito and businessman Chris Miller.
With 98% of the votes in, Morrisey had 71,737.
His closest competitor, Capito, had 60,647. Miller had 44,769, and Warner had 36,987.
“Thank you West Virginia. What an incredible night. We did it,” Morrisey said to supporters at his campaign headquarters. “We never give up.”
He said his campaign sent a message: “You do not mess with West Virginia. In West Virginia, we fight, we advance conservative values and boy do we win for our people.”
The Republican Governor’s Association swiftly congratulated Morrisey.
“Congratulations to Patrick Morrisey on his victory tonight in West Virginia’s Republican gubernatorial primary election,” said RGA Chairman and Tennessee Governor Bill Lee. “Patrick Morrisey has stood up to Democrats’ bureaucratic overreach time and time again, and he’ll continue to do just that as West Virginia’s next governor, delivering freedom and economic opportunity to West Virginians across the state.”
The only Democrat in the race for governor is Huntington Mayor Steve Williams.
“I think I can help,” Williams said on MetroNews election night coverage. “There are areas that need massive infrastructure additions. We need to make sure we’re working so hard to be able to compete with the rest of the world that we go at warp speed.”
He said he’ll gear up for a competitive election toward the fall, including the fundraising that can help with communication. “I can’t be everywhere at once, so I have to have the resources to let the people hear our message — and it is our message,” he said.
Capito had the endorsement of Justice, who characterized him as the best option for carrying on his administration’s priorities.
Some of the Republican candidates were carrying out family traditions.
Capito is the son of U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito and grandson of three-term Gov. Arch Moore. Miller is the son of Congresswoman Carol Miller and grandson of longtime Ohio Congressman Sam Devine. Warner’s brothers have been involved in politics and public service.
Money poured into the governor’s race, with Morrisey, Capito and Miller each having more than a million dollars on hand in the closing weeks. Miller’s campaign reported spending a whopping $2.7 million during the period.

AIPAC-affiliated PAC backs Maryland primary candidate with US$4 million
Tuesday's Democratic primary in Maryland is seeing major national attention, with a PAC affiliated with AIPAC backing a candidate with over US$4 million.
Tuesday's Democratic primary in Maryland is receiving major national attention, with a political action committee affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee contributing over US$4 million to its preferred candidate.
One of the top two candidates, Harry Dunn, a former capitol police officer who became a national figure after testifying following the 6 January 2021 attack, has been endorsed by Nancy Pelosi and other prominent members of Congress, the Congressional Progressive Caucus and J Street.
The other leading candidate, Sarah Elfreth, a member of the Maryland Senate, appears to have most of her endorsements from state officials. She has received over US$4 million in donations from the United Democracy Project.
Both leading candidates have described themselves as supporters of Israel, though there appears to be a contrast in their messaging on Gaza.

Jeffrey Epstein’s original ‘little black book’ now on sale, expected to fetch $200K
“As far as I know, Mr. Epstein’s estate is in no way involved in any manner,” Panagopulos said.
“As for the proceeds of the sale, I can say with a great deal of confidence that they will be going to a party that does not, nor ever did have any connection with Mr. Epstein or anyone named in the book.”
The 64-page address book, dated by a forensic document examiner to be from around 1997, lists 349 people in total. Among them are celebrities including Robert F. Kennedy Jr, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo’s wife Cristina Greeven, actress Morgan Fairchild and billionaire Carl Icahn.
As with Epstein’s other black book, many of those included have denied meeting or having any connection to the pedophile financier.
The book on the auction block has an intriguing history of its own.
The book was initially stumbled across in the 90s by Denise Ondayko, a musician who claims she found it while walking down Fifth Avenue in New York City.
She held onto it, fascinated by the names inside, but not initially realizing it belonged to Epstein.
After realizing the book had numbers for Epstein’s mansions and staff, Ondayko put the book up for sale on eBay in 2020, with Chris Helali purchasing it for $425 and sharing some of its contents with reporters.
Auction houses Sotheby’s and Christie’s declined to auction the book on the grounds of it being in poor taste, but Helali was convinced to partner with Alexander’s by New York City antiques collector and expert, Billy Leroy, according to the Daily Beast.
Alexander’s noted interested bidders can come to the auction houses’ Maryland office to inspect the book after submitting a two day notice. Private bidding is open until June 15.
Once the auction closes, the top two bidders will be notified via FedEx and given the chance to make one final offer before a winner is chosen……….

GameStop, AMC drove $5 billion in trades on Robinhood in a single day
Other brokerages, like Public and Moomoo, also saw a boost in activity.
When meme stocks rally, the brokerages may benefit more than the investors.
On Tuesday night, CEO Vlad(who doesn’t have a brokerage license)Tenev shared on X that Robinhood Markets Inc. HOOD, +2.77% saw $5 billion in equities trading volume that day, one of the biggest days for the online broker in the past 12 months. Due to payment for order flow, in which market makers pay brokerages to send them their customers’ trades, Robinhood stands to gain when its customers are inspired to trade more.
Robinhood critics contend this fact could lead to conflicts of interest such as incentivizing more trading or the gamification of investing. Robinhood has faced lawsuits over its alleged gamification practices, and has removed certain features that could be interpreted as gamification—like its confetti animation that would play when a trade was placed. During a 2021 congressional hearing, Tenev told lawmakers that, “We don’t believe in gamification.” Shares of GameStop GME, -18.87% rallied in overnight trading on Sunday after X user “Roaring Kitty”(check his bank accts for large deposits to “reappear”)began posting cryptic memes after a three-year hiatus. The account is associated with investor Keith Gill, whose posts in 2020 and 2021 were credited with helping drive the initial meme-stock frenzy. GameStop shares jumped 74% on Monday and around another 60% on Tuesday, before pulling back over 30% intraday on Wednesday. The dramatic jump was reminiscent of GameStop’s boom in early 2021, and drove people to other meme stocks that were popular at the time, including AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. AMC, -20.00%, BlackBerry Ltd. BB, -6.92% and Koss Corp. KOSS, -19.19%. With meme stocks making big gains, people were also wondering if this boost would match the magnitude of 2021. While not quite at that level yet, several brokerages felt the effects from the bump in meme stocks. Online trading platform Moomoo also saw a dramatic increase in trading volume, but couldn’t provide exact numbers.

Killers in Mexico 'can look like anyone' as cartels use women, kids as assassins, PI warns
Report: Sinaloa Cartel Gave Baja Murder Suspects to Police
With the high-profile murders of three surfers in Mexico grabbing headlines ahead of the busy American summer travel season, a private investigator is warning that killers in the country may not be who you expect.
Cartels are increasingly using women and children to carry out violent acts, Jay Armes III, who specializes in kidnappings in Mexico and works cases all over the world, told Fox News Digital.
Images and videos of cartel members in tactical gear with intimidating military-grade weapons are meant to instill fear, but "the scariest part" of violence in Mexico "is the bad guys don't look like bad guys," Armes said.
"When you capture these people and line them up, and you look at their faces, they look like your gardener, the waitress who served you dinner at a restaurant, the little old grandmother down the street," he said.
Police arrested three people in the investigation and the first suspect was charged last week for “forced disappearance,” according to a press release from the Baja California Attorney General’s Office.
“For the crime of forced disappearance committed by private individuals, the Attorney General’s Office of Baja California achieved the connection to the trial of Jesús Gerardo ‘N’, alias ‘El Kekas’, who will remain in preventive detention after his involvement in the crime committed to the detriment of two brothers of Australian origin and an American in Ensenada,” they said.

One of Jeffrey Epstein’s Protectors at JPMorgan Chase, Mary Erdoes, Has Sold $29 Million of Her Stock in the Bank Since Just Before Epstein’s Arrest in 2019
In 2020, Netflix released a documentary series titled “Filthy Rich,” based on the book by the same name. The series examined how sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was able to continue to enjoy his wealth and power even after Palm Beach, Florida police had built a case that he had sexually-assaulted more than a dozen young girls – many from public schools in middle-class areas surrounding the mansions of Palm Beach.
A sweetheart deal between the Florida State Attorney and the U.S. Department of Justice allowed Epstein to serve just 13 months in jail from June 2008 to July 2009, most of it in a work release program in which he was driven to an office daily by his chauffeured limousine. Epstein was allowed to be on the loose for another decade until the Department of Justice was embarrassed into arresting Epstein on federal sex trafficking charges on July 6, 2019, following an explosive series of articles about Epstein’s victims by Julie Brown in the Miami Herald. (Epstein died in a Manhattan jail on August 10, 2019, a little more than a month after his arrest. His death was ruled a suicide by the New York City Medical Examiner.)
Despite Epstein’s earlier arrest in Florida and sensational headlines that followed, Epstein was able to continue his long-term banking relationship with the largest bank in the United States – JPMorgan Chase – until at least 2013. (JPMorgan Chase is now a five-count felon itself, able to endlessly cut sweetheart deals with the U.S. Department of Justice.)
One of Epstein’s protectors at JPMorgan Chase was Mary Erdoes – who continues to serve as CEO of the bank’s Asset & Wealth Management business that caters to the ultra-wealthy.
Erdoes may never get as “filthy rich” as Epstein, but she has sold $29 million of her JPMorgan Chase stock since just before Epstein’s arrest in 2019. That includes the following amounts: $3.9 million so far this year; $3.7 million in 2023 as headlines flew around the world over the Epstein-related allegations against the bank made by the Attorney General of the U.S. Virgin Islands in federal court in Manhattan; $3.9 million in 2022; $7.4 million in 2021; $2.4 million in 2020; and less than three months before Epstein was indicted in 2019, Erdoes sold $7.95 million. These dollar amounts do not include the millions in stock sales that Erdoes made, ostensibly to pay taxes on stock awards.
How did Erdoes come by all of this stock in the bank? The company granted it to Erdoes on the basis of good performance.
This is what the Attorney General of the U.S. Virgin Islands alleged in a federal lawsuit last year against JPMorgan Chase and Erdoes: (Epstein owned a private island and compound in the U.S. Virgin Islands.)
“In 2006, a JP Morgan Rapid Response Team noted that Epstein ‘routinely’ made cash withdrawals in amounts from $40,000 to $80,000 several times per month, totaling over $750,000 per year. In addition, Mary Erdoes admitted in her deposition that JP Morgan was aware by 2006 that Epstein was accused of paying cash to have underage girls and young women brought to his home. In the years that followed, JP Morgan employees, including senior executives, emailed internally that Epstein was under investigation or had been sued for trafficking or sexual abuse. This includes an email in 2010 between Mary Erdoes and Jes Staley regarding a federal investigation of Epstein for child trafficking; a 2011 email summarizing a few 2010 news stories connecting Epstein to human trafficking and promising to ‘monitor the accounts and cash usage closely going forward;’ and a 2011 compliance memo noting that ‘[n]umerous articles detail various law enforcement agencies investigating Jeffrey Epstein for allegedly participating in child trafficking and molesting underage girls’ and that ‘Epstein had settled a dozen civil lawsuits out of court from his victims regarding solicitation for an undisclosed amount.’ Internal emails also questioned who Epstein’s clients were, circulating an article regarding whether Epstein was running a Ponzi scheme.
“Indeed, Epstein’s behavior was so widely known at JPMorgan that senior executives joked about Epstein’s interest in young girls. In 2008, for example, Mary Erdoes received an email asking her whether Epstein was at an event ‘with miley cyrus.’ In her deposition, Mary Erdoes testified that JP Morgan terminated Epstein as a customer in 2013 after she became aware that the withdrawals were ‘actual cash.’ However, Epstein had made substantial cash withdrawals every year he banked with JP Morgan….”

This is how the New York Times reported Erdoes’ role with Epstein in August 2019: “When compliance officers at JPMorgan Chase conducted a sweep of their wealthy clients a decade ago, they recommended that the bank cut its ties to the financier Jeffrey E. Epstein because his accounts posed unacceptable legal and reputational risks.” The reason the relationship was allowed to continue, “according to six former senior executives and other bank employees familiar with the matter, was that Mary C. Erdoes, one of JPMorgan’s highest-ranking executives, intervened to keep him as a client, ” according to the New York Times article.
Any person with a criminal history of paying hard cash to underage girls for sex assaults, and who is taking large sums of hard cash from a bank, should be terminated immediately. The bank is also legally-mandated to file reports with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). But according to an expert report written by a former FBI agent of 23 years, Shaun O’Neill, and introduced into evidence last year in the U.S. Virgin Islands’ federal court case, the following massive sums of hard cash were provided to Epstein by JPMorgan Chase:
“Epstein was able to withdraw large amounts of cash from his JPMC accounts for years [Redacted]. In the year 2003, Epstein was able to withdraw highly suspicious amounts of cash totaling $175,311. In 2004, he withdrew $840,000. In 2005, he withdrew $904,337. In 2006, he withdrew $938,625. In 2007, he withdrew $526,000. In 2008, he withdrew $469,000. In 2009, he withdrew $165,011. In 2010, he withdrew $253,397. In 2011, he withdrew $260,000. In 2012, he withdrew $290,000. In 2013, he withdrew $197,152.”
O’Neill writes further in the statement filed with the court last year:
“Human trafficking under U.S. law was transformed with the enactment of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (the TVPA) in 2000. The TVPA equipped law enforcement, prosecutors and victim advocates with new tools and resources to mount a comprehensive and coordinated strategy to combat modern forms of slavery both domestically and internationally…
“In reference to sex trafficking of a minor with great relevance to the numerous victims at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein, minors need not demonstrate force, fraud, or coercion were used against them to induce them to engage in a commercial sex act. Rather, U.S. law has firmly established that minors cannot consent to commercial sex. Additionally, there is recognition that many forms of human trafficking do not involve force but rather occur through psychological manipulation against victims.”
O’Neill indicated that “Based on the review of the 17 victim statements contained within the July 25, 2006 Palm Beach Police Department Incident Report, more than ten victims were under the age of 18. The elements of child sex trafficking were present as the allegations referenced a commercial sex act involving a minor and there is no such thing as a ‘child prostitute.’ The allegations reflected a textbook definition of human trafficking.”
O’Neill put the blame for the expansion of Epstein’s sex trafficking ring at the feet of JPMorgan Chase, writing:
“Had JPMC cooperated with federal law enforcement and [Redacted]….Epstein would have been federally charged at a much earlier date. He likely would not have received the Florida Non-Prosecution Agreement, and he would have been imprisoned for the sex trafficking and money laundering crimes that he committed at an earlier time, thereby shrinking his overall list of victims.”
The long-tenured Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase, Jamie Dimon, was deposed in the U.S. Virgin Islands court case. His narrative is that he lived a cloistered existence in a corner office on the 48th floor of 270 Park Avenue where even the top executives who directly reported to him and worked only “a couple hundred feet” away from his office, never shared with Dimon their knowledge of, and meetings over, the bank’s concerns about Epstein’s massive withdrawals of hard cash, his prior history as a jailed sex offender in Florida, or his appearance on the front page of the New York Post in 2011 with the giant, all caps bold headline: “PRINCE AND PERV,” featuring a photo of Prince Andrew and Epstein, and the commentary: “Randy Andy with NYC sex creep.”
Somehow, the fact that Epstein was referring to JPMorgan Chase some of the richest and most politically-connected men in the world also escaped Dimon’s perch in that corner office. According to the Attorney General of the U.S. Virgin Islands, Epstein referred the following individuals to the bank as clients: the sixth richest man in the world, Microsoft co-founder and billionaire Bill Gates; the ninth richest man in the world, Google co-founder and billionaire Sergey Brin; the Sultan of Dubai, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem; media and real estate billionaire Mort Zuckerman; former U.S. Treasury Secretary and former Harvard President Larry Summers, and numerous others.
As chance would have it, Dimon – for the first time since taking the helm of the bank – is also selling large chunks of his stock in the bank. See Jamie Dimon Dumped $150 Million of His JPMorgan Stock in February; Now He Says His Regulators Want 25 Percent More Capital at his Bank.

Rumble Sues YouTube for Over $1 Billion in Damages
On Monday, video streaming platform Rumble announced it is suing YouTube parent company Alphabet for over a billion dollars in damages.
The suit claims that “Google exploits significant conflicts of interest that stem from its multiple roles in this electronically traded marketplace,” and is therefore able “to pocket a supra-competitive portion of every advertising dollar that passes through the Ad Tech markets it controls, ad-revenue that rightly should have passed through to publishers like Rumble and its content creators.” Rumble added to the criticism that Alphabet was acting as a monopoly, referencing established antitrust precedence.
This will be the second lawsuit Rumble has carried out against Google in a handful of years, with the first being the 2021 lawsuit over Alphabet’s self-preference in search results. The earlier lawsuit also confronted Alphabet for its relationship with Android and preloaded bundles of their apps on Android devices.
A little over a year ago, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and eight other states joined in a lawsuit alleging Sherman antitrust violations. The complaint alleges, “competition in the ad tech space is broken, for reasons that were neither accidental nor inevitable. One industry behemoth, Google, has corrupted legitimate competition in the ad tech industry by engaging in a systematic campaign to seize control of the wide swath of high-tech tools used by publishers, advertisers, and brokers, to facilitate digital advertising.”
The European Union (EU) fined Google €1.49 billion for “abusive practices in online advertising” in 2019.
Rumble, headquartered in Longboat Key, Florida, was founded in 2013 with the aim to be a free speech alternative to YouTube. It has grown as creators, who have felt they have been unjustly persecuted by YouTube’s moderation policies, joined its competitor’s platform. Rumble stock currently gives them just under a $2 billion dollar market value. While YouTube makes just over 10 percent of Alphabet revenue, Alphabet currently trades at a $2.1 trillion market cap.
Business leaders may note that the prospects of a much smaller company legally targeting a larger competitor are usually not great. However, with the DOJ and EU having made similar legal claims, their likelihood of winning the suit may be stronger.

Heard an Emergency Alert come through on the radio in the car (was not received on my Galaxy 5 - haven't had an alert since I moved out the the city)
Weird thing was - it came through as a PRESIDENTIAL ALERT. We do not have a President in Canada (last I heard). Even double-verified it with the person that did receive it (they have an older phone than mine).
Just wondering if all of Ontario received this one, or just my area?
Something coming down the pipe? Maybe we belong to the USA? Totally weird

Flood of Fake Science Forces Multiple
Journal Closures
Wall Street Journal, by Nidhi Subbaraman
Posted By: DVC, 5/15/2024 5:17:34 PM
Fake studies have flooded the publishers of top scientific journals, leading to thousands of retractions and millions of dollars in lost revenue. The biggest hit has come to Wiley, a 217-year-old publisher based in Hoboken, N.J., which Tuesday will announce that it is closing 19 journals, some of which were infected by large-scale research fraud. In the past two years, Wiley has retracted more than 11,300 papers that appeared compromised, according to a spokesperson, and closed four journals. It isn’t alone: At least two other publishers have retracted hundreds of suspect papers each. Several others have pulled smaller clusters of bad papers.

Whistleblower reveals how government rushed to give all clear after East Palestine train derailment and says he was threatened when he asked why
An EPA whistleblower has come forward with shocking claims over the government's response to the toxic East Palestine train derailment.
Robert Kroutil, a scientist who spent four decades in government agencies, claimed to NewsNation that the EPA strayed from its normal safety procedures when testing for hazardous contamination around the crash site.
He alleged that leaders delayed in deploying a chemical testing plane for five days, but still decided that evacuated residents were free to return to their homes after only three days.
Residents who returned home quickly reported adverse reactions, including rashes, breathing problems and nausea.
'That deployment was the most unusual deployment I’ve ever seen,' Kroutil said of the testing aircraft. 'You just wouldn’t do it that way.'
Kroutil originally worked for the Department of Defense, where he worked to develop the Airborne Spectralphotometric Environmental Collection Technology (ASPECT) aircraft, a high-tech plane used to detect levels of chemical contamination in the air.
He continued this work when he moved to the EPA to work as a contractor, but said throughout his career he had never seen the aircraft used in the manner that it was in the East Palestine disaster.
At the time that officials told residents it was safe for them to return to their homes, EPA Chief Michael Reagan specifically singled out the use of the ASPECT plane as a reason he made the decision.
'We’ve had boots on the ground, leading robust air quality testing, including the advanced technology ASPECT plane,' he said.
However, procedures normally called for the ASPECT plane to be deployed within hours, and Kroutil said he is still confused why it wasn't deployed in a timely manner, feeling it may have missed key data on the levels of toxicity in the area.
'In East Palestine, we had a big delay,' he told NewsNation. 'There was a big delay in getting the aircraft to Pittsburgh.'
Asked why officials may have postponed the flight, Kroutil said he is 'still asking myself that question.'
Following the derailment on February 3, 20203, he said: 'We should be collecting data on the 4th, the 5th, the 6th (of February), multiple flights on the 7th.
'We should be there at least two weeks to monitor the situation.'

Here are all the restrictions Biden's
team demanded in their Trump debate offer
Fox News, by Anders Hagstrom

President Biden and former President Donald Trump on Wednesday made their plans to officially debate, but the offer from the Biden team came with several strings attached. Trump gave Biden an open invitation to debate anytime, anywhere, and Biden rose to the challenge, telling Trump to "make my day" in a heavily edited video on social media. Alongside Biden's announcement came a letter from his campaign to the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD), and that letter revealed a few critical limits that Biden's team was placing on any debate between him and Trump.

Whistleblower Says Democrat Politician Ran A Dark Website For Pedophiles
If you want to know how truly evil the people we’re dealing with are, you need to hear this:
This is from Nathan Larson, Democrat politician, ran for Congress, multiple times. Ran a website for pedos to discuss their dark intentions and fantasies. Here's the quote.
“It's not enough to fck kids and take their innocence. You also need to reproduce the next generation with them. Let them see that you prefer to fck the offspring you have with them, than to have s*x with a woman who is no longer jailbait.”
There is more to the quote mentioned in this video but honestly it just gets so much more dark and disgusting I won’t transcribe it. You can watch the clip and hear it.
The whistleblower provided the evidence to Major News Media, no one would run the story. He says they were all aware of it including enforcement agencies but no one would do anything about it
Democrats Nathan Larson is an admitted pedophilia advocate who also was on trial for allegedly grooming and kidnapping a 12-year-old girl

Peru’s Government Officially Classifies
Trans, Nonbinary, and Intersex as ‘Mentally
Ill’ People
Gateway Pundit, by Jim Hᴏft
Posted By: rememberwhen, 5/15/2024 3:41:18 PM
The Peruvian government has taken a firm stand on the issue of gender identity. A new decree, signed by President Dina Boluarte, has officially classified transsexualism, nonbinary, and intersex conditions as “mental illnesses.” Supreme Decree No. 009-2024-SA specifies “transsexualism” and “gender identity disorder in children” as mental health conditions, The Telegraph reported. It further includes “dual-role transvestism, fetishist transvestism, egodystonic sexual orientation, and other gender identity disorders” in the same category. This groundbreaking decision by the Peruvian health ministry is seen by many as a bold affirmation of biological truths and a commitment to providing appropriate mental health care.

Remember when Dylan Mulvaney fled the US to Peru to “feel safe”?
Well now Peru just passed a bill classifying trans people as “mentally ill.”
Dylan Mulvaney would be officially considered mentally ill in Peru.
What do you think of this new policy?
