Drake, Taylor Swift Label Universal Music Group Strikes Deal with TikTok

 

Universal Music Group, the label pop star Taylor Swift and rapper Drake are on, has reportedly singed a new licensing agreement with China’s TikTok app.

 

TikTok and Universal Music Group said on Thursday that they have struck a new deal that will restore the music on UMG’s label to the popular Chinese video-sharing app after taking a hiatus for months, according to a report by Axios.

 

Earlier this year, the music label let its contract with TikTok expire, at which point UMG pulled its content from the Chinese social media platform.

 

Notably, the companies’ new licensing agreement will include promotional opportunities and “industry-leading protections” for generative artificial intelligence (AI).

 

“This new chapter in our relationship with TikTok focuses on the value of music, the primacy of human artistry and the welfare of the creative community,” Universal Music Group CEO Lucian Grainge said.

 

While UMG strikes a new deal with TikTok, President Joe Biden has signed a bill that would force the social media platform’s parent company, Chinese tech giant ByteDance — which is beholden to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) — to sell the app within nine months or face a ban in the United States.

 

The legislation was recently passed through the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate with bipartisan support, as U.S. lawmakers continue to cite national security concerns, as well as the dangers the app — owned by a hostile foreign country — poses for kids and teens.

TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew reacted to the sell-or-ban legislation saying the Chinese parent company plans to use America’s laws against the United States to fight the sell-or-ban legislation in court, declaring, “The Constitution is on our side.”

 

ByteDance, meanwhile, says it prefers that TikTok just shuts down in the United States if its legal challenge fails in court.

Report: Venezuela’s State-Owned Airline Will Fly U.S.-Bound Migrants to Nicaragua

Christian K. Caruzo2 May 2024

An upcoming Caracas-Managua flight route operated by the Venezuelan state-owned Conviasa airline will increase the flow of migrants trying to reach the United States, according to a report published by the Nicaraguan newspaper La Prensa on Wednesday.

Nicaragua’s communist dictator Daniel Ortega has allowed migrants in recent years to freely pass through the country while on route towards the United States. Experts have suggested that Ortega is seeking to use migration as a “golden opportunity” bargaining tool to negotiate potential sanctions relief with the United States.

Nicaragua presents itself as an alternate route for migrants seeking to reach U.S. territory, as it allows them to avoid passing through the deadly Darien Gap jungle trail located between Colombia and Panama.

Migrants from Haiti, India, and African countries such as Senegal have also begun to reach Nicaragua by air and pass through the country to reach the United States despite the hefty costs incurred by such a long trip in the case of African and Indian migrants. Nicaragua lacks entry visa requirements for most nations. Experts have also denounced that the Ortega regime charges $200 per migrant to use the country’s airports.

Conviasa’s new Venezuela-Nicaragua biweekly Sunday and Tuesday flights will begin operations on Sunday, May 5, according to promotional material published by the airline on social media. The flight route, according to La Prensa, will have a stopover in Havana, Cuba. Since 2022, Cubans have begun to use Nicaragua after the Ortega regime rescinded entry visa requirements for Cuban nationals.

Presently, Conviasa offers flights from Havana to Managua on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. The new route will effectively see daily flights to Nicaragua from the Venezuelan state-owned airline, opening a potential pathway for Venezuelan migrants fleeing the socialist regime to go north without having to cross the Darien Gap. Venezuela’s socialist policies have created what is widely described as the worst migrant crisis in the Western Hemisphere, rivaled only by the Syrian and Ukrainian migrant crises currently.

La Prensa reported that the new Caracas-Managua flight connection is being established at a time when the United States is attempting to stop the use of international airlines to bring migrants from Nicaragua.

The efforts, according to official data reviewed by the newspaper, seem to have had little effectiveness.

In January, statistics from the Central Bank of Nicaragua (BCN) showed that Managua’s international airport continued to “break records” in the number of “tourists” arriving to the country despite no reported local evidence that would suggest an actual increase in tourist activity in the country.

BCN’s statistics show that, between September and October 2023 alone, 241,700 people arrived at the airport, yet only 94,500 left Nicaragua by air, which would suggest that some 147,200 left the country by land.

La Prensa explained that the 11,000-person difference is similar to the one registered in the same period during 2023, where approximately 10,900 passengers did not leave Nicaragua by air.

The Nicaraguan newspaper also noted that Ecuadorian migrants fleeing from their crime- and gang-ridden nation have also begun to use Nicaragua to reach the United States. According to statistical information from the Nicaraguan Institute of Tourism (INTUR), 44,221 Ecuadorian citizens passed through the Managua International Airport in 2022, up from 2,215 in 2017, which represents a 1,900 percent increase.

El Salvador, one of the countries used by Indian and African migrants as a stopgap bridge to reach Nicaragua and then the United States, began imposing a $1,000 tariff fee on travelers of said nations starting in October 2023 in an effort to curb the flow of illegal migrants to the United States.

The decision to impose the tariff arose after local authorities detected an increase in the number of inbound, outbound, and connecting Indian and African passengers at the airport compared to previous years.

Former President Donald Trump’s administration sanctioned the Venezuelan state-owned Conviasa airline in 2020 because of the regime’s continued use of the airline to “shuttle corrupt regime officials around the world to fuel support for its anti-democratic efforts.”

The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden partially lifted the sanctions in November as part of a flimsy agreement with the Maduro regime for the deportation of Venezuelan migrants. The Maduro regime broke the deportation deal in February and has reportedly refused to repatriate migrants since then.

Johnson’s Incompetence Continues as He Screws Up Antisemitism Resolution; Then Democrats Embarrass Him on Procedural Vote

BRADLEY JAYE2 May 2024583

3:48

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) received a stunning rebuke Wednesday on what should have been a slam-dunk resolution to oppose antisemitism followed by a rare procedural defeat on legislation to clarify mining regulations.

 

The events, hours after Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) announced they would force a vote to expel Johnson, do little to show Johnson has a firm hand on the wheel.

 

The Antisemitism Awareness Act, introduced by Reps. Mike Lawler (R-NY) and Jared Moskowitz (R-FL), would mandate that when the Department of Education enforces federal anti-discrimination laws it uses a definition of antisemitism put forward by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. While most House members would likely agree that antisemitism is bad, the hastily introduced legislation sparked a firestorm.

 

The vote was 320 to 91 with 70 Democrats and an astounding 21 Republicans voting against.

 

Greene, who opposed the bill, said it “could convict Christians of antisemitism for believing the Gospel that says Jesus was handed over to Herod to be crucified by the Jews.” Other Republicans opposed the bill on similar grounds, kneecapping Johnson on what should have been an easy victory.

 

Johnson has instructed his committee chairs to focus on combating antisemitism in the coming months – a pivot from efforts to impeach President Joe Biden, which have faltered under his watch.

 

Minutes later, Johnson was dealt another blow on the Mining Regulatory Clarity Act. Democrats successfully secured enough Republicans on a procedural vote to send the bill back to committee with a motion to recommit, the first of its kind successfully used since 2020 and the first in a Republican-majority House since 2004.

 

A motion to recommit is an ostensibly procedural vote that in practice is used as one of the few political wedges available to the minority party in the House. The vote enables the minority party to force the House to consider a bill with amended language, sending it back to the committee it came from and essentially killing it before a vote on final passage.

 

A politically effective motion to recommit generally includes a tricky political amendment in an attempt to pick off vulnerable members of the majority and hinder passage of the bill – or provide fodder for campaign ads.

 

Republicans so effectively used the motion to recommit in 2020 and 2021 that Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) modified the rules to weaken the procedural tool.

Too bad he refused his supporters, he could be big by now and he’s just known for this song. Leftists didn’t like he sang about welfare (some in my family. These people are always ashamed about it, but no one shamed them), the rest of us got the message. But he just had to say it, i’m singing about all the rich men and politicians and he didn’t want to be thought as a Trump supporter

 

Interesting dynamic, seems like he doesn’t want a way out. Too bad, so sad.

 

The guy has a great voice and music I hope he makes it.
