Trump says he 'would have absolutely gotten' Libertarian Party nomination if he could have run, slams RFK Jr.

Former President Donald Trump claimed he would have "absolutely" gotten the Libertarian Party convention nomination for president, if not for already being the presumptive GOP nominee.

 

In a statement on Sunday, following an appearance at the party's convention on Saturday, Trump noted the "enthusiasm" of the crowd, where he received a mixed response that included audible booing.

 

"The reason I didn't file paperwork for the Libertarian Nomination, which I would have absolutely gotten if I wanted it (as everyone could tell by the enthusiasm of the Crowd last night!), was the fact that, as the Republican Nominee, I am not allowed to have the Nomination of another Party," Trump wrote on his social media platform on Sunday,

 

"Regardless, I believe I will get a Majority of the Libertarian Votes,"Trump continued.

 

In his message on Sunday, Trump also slammed Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who received a nomination to be a candidate at the Libertarian Party convention, though ultimately was not chosen as its candidate.

"Junior' Kennedy is a Radical Left Democrat, who's destroyed everything he's touched, especially in New York and New England, and in particular, as it relates to the Cost and Practicality of Energy,” Trump wrote on TruthSocial. "He’s not a Libertarian. Only a FOOL would vote for him!"

 

Kennedy, who received an 11th-hour nomination to be a presidential candidate, butdidn't manage enough votes to continue, reacted on social media on Sunday, calling the party's move "an unexpected honor."

 

"What an unexpected honor to wake up this morning to a groundswell in the Libertarian Party seeking to nominate me. I would have accepted the nomination if offered because independents and third parties need to unite right now to reclaim our country from the corrupt two-party system," Kennedy wrote on X, saying that his speech at the convention was a "high point" of his campaign.

 

“While we may not agree on every downstream issue, our core values of peace, free speech, and civil liberties make us natural allies… Let’s take our country back," he concluded.

 

In a post on X, he wrote that he "would have accepted the nomination if offered because independents and third parties need to unite right now."

 

Kennedy has not responded to Trump's latest attack on social media.

 

Both candidates had agreed to speak at the convention upon invitation from the party’s chair. Kennedy spoke on Friday, which garnered a lukewarm response from members – most of whom signaled to ABC News in interviews over the weekend that they didn’t consider Kennedy a “real Libertarian.”

 

Chase Oliver, a millennial political activist who has been embraced by a more left-leaning wing of the Libertarian party, picked up the party's presidential nomination after seven rounds of voting at their convention on Sunday.

NCAA, Power 5 agree to deal that will let schools pay players

May 23, 2024, 07:34 PM ET

The NCAA and its five power conferences have agreed to allow schools to directly pay players for the first time in the 100-plus-year history of college sports.

 

The NCAA and its leagues are moving forward with a multibillion-dollar agreement to settle three pending federal antitrust cases. The NCAA will pay more than $2.7 billion in damages over 10 years to past and current athletes, sources told ESPN. Sources said the parties also have agreed to a revenue-sharing plan allowing each school to share up to roughly $20 million per year with its athletes.

 

"The five autonomy conferences and the NCAA agreeing to settlement terms is an important step in the continuing reform of college sports that will provide benefits to student-athletes and provide clarity in college athletics across all divisions for years to come," NCAA president Charlie Baker and the five power conference commissioners said in a joint statement Thursday evening.

 

"This settlement is also a road map for college sports leaders and Congress to ensure this uniquely American institution can continue to provide unmatched opportunity for millions of students. All of Division I made today's progress possible, and we all have work to do to implement the terms of the agreement as the legal process continues. We look forward to working with our various student-athlete leadership groups to write the next chapter of college sports."

 

All Division I athletes dating back to 2016 are eligible to receive a share as part of the settlement class. In exchange, athletes cannot sue the NCAA for other potential antitrust violations and must drop their complaints in three open cases: House v. NCAA, Hubbard v. NCAA and Carter v. NCAA.

 

The settlement terms must be approved by Judge Claudia Wilken, who is presiding over all three cases. That process is expected to take several months, and sources said schools likely will begin sharing revenue in fall 2025.

 

The NCAA's board of governors and leaders from the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, SEC and Pac-12 voted to accept the general terms laid out in a 13-page document. Notre Dame also agreed to the settlement as a member of the ACC.

 

"The settlement, though undesirable in many respects and promising only temporary stability, is necessary to avoid what would be the bankruptcy of college athletics," Notre Dame president John I. Jenkins said in a statement. "To save the great American institution of college sports, Congress must pass legislation that will preempt the current patchwork of state laws; establish that our athletes are not employees, but students seeking college degrees; and provide protection from further antitrust lawsuits that will allow colleges to make and enforce rules that will protect our student-athletes and help ensure competitive equity among our teams."

 

The agreement does not resolve all the pending legal issues that have revolutionized the business of college sports and destabilized the multibillion-dollar industry. Athletes and their advocates are still fighting to become employees or find other ways to collectively bargain in the future, which could reshape a revenue-sharing agreement. This week's agreement, though, potentially decreases the NCAA's exposure to antitrust litigation, which has been the most powerful tool in pushing schools to provide more for athletes.

 

"We recognize that we're just on the front end of this entire process," said Illinois athletic director Josh Whitman, who recently took over as the chair of the NCAA's Division I Council. "There's a lot to be sorted out as we try to really wrap our arms around some of the details that we're putting in place now."

 

Steve Berman, co-lead counsel for the athletes alongside veteran antirust attorney Jeffrey Kessler, said this week's agreement feels like a "finish line" but that the cases won't be officially closed for several more months. Other antitrust attorneys told ESPN that the deal could unravel if athletes opt out to join a separate and pending antitrust case or if Wilken rejects the settlement terms. Berman said he remains confident their deal will hold.

 

"I'm hugely proud," Berman said. "This is a revolutionary change I never thought would happen when I started this. I'm thrilled for the student-athletes because this will be life-changing for all of them."

 

By the end of this week, the parties plan to alert Wilken who has presided over the most impactful antitrust cases of the past decade that they will submit final details to the court in the next 30 days…

(Kek NYTs calling Fetterman DangerousDems freaking out)

Fetterman, Flashing a Sharper Edge, Keeps Picking Fights With the Left. May 26, 2024

 

The first-term Pennsylvanian has battled with progressives on Israel, immigration and energy, adopting a more caustic political persona and alienating some supporters.

 

Senator John Fetterman was hard to miss, lumbering down an empty hallway in a Senate office building dressed in his signature baggy gym shorts and a black hoodie. So when Stevie O’Hanlon, an environmentalist and organizer from Chester County, Pa., spotted him recently, she took the opportunity to question her home-state senator about a pipeline in her community.

Mr. Fetterman’s reaction was surprisingly hostile. Raising his phone to capture the confrontation on video, the senator began ridiculing her.

“I didn’t expect this!” Mr. Fetterman said, feigning excitement. “Oh my gosh!”

As Ms. O’Hanlon politely pressed him on what she called his “change of heart” on the issue of the local pipeline, which he had previously opposed, Mr. Fetterman pulled faces of faux concern until he stepped onto an elevator and let the closing door end the interaction.

Ms. O’Hanlon, a co-founder of the progressive Sunrise Movement, was stunned.

“I’ve talked to Republicans who are much friendlier than that,” she said in an interview, after a clip of the interaction circulated widely on social media. “The person that we voted for is not the person who mocks constituents when they bring up concerns.”

 

But there have been other notable differences.He has taken a hawkish stance on immigration, calling the surge in migration across the United States border with Mexico “a crisis.”He has broken with President Biden on energy policy, condemning his decision to pause approval of new liquefied natural gas exports to allow time to study the impact on climate change.

A stubborn contrarian by nature, Mr. Fetterman’s political brand has always beenquirky, irreverent and at times frustrating to ideological purists on the left. His political move is to loudly — and sometimes obnoxiously — own an issue once he stakes out his position. As lieutenant governor, he flew marijuana legalization and L.G.B.T.Q. rights flags from the balcony of his office after Republicans banned unauthorized flags in the building.

But those who have observed his recent transformation also describe a shift in demeanor by Mr. Fetterman, who has begun to express himself in more caustic, sometimes hostile ways.

As he has morphed into a different kind of politician than anyone expectedhim to be, Mr. Fetterman has lost some of the top advisers who helped get him where he is today — the ones who guided him through a turbulent Senate campaign and debilitating health episodes, including a life-threatening stroke before he was elected and a six-week hospitalization just after he arrived in the Senate when he was treated for clinical depression.

 

Ms. O’Hanlon is not the only one wondering who Mr. Fetterman has become.Since last fall, the first-term Democratic senator from Pennsylvaniahas undergone a significant change in political persona. He routinely takes aim at the left wing of his partythat he once courted — and appears to enjoy the spasms of anger he produces because of it, as wellas the strange new respect he commands from right-wing mediaoutlets that once dismissed him as a vegetable and lobbed sexist attacks at his wife.

Mr. Fetterman’s sharpest break with the left has been on the Israel-Hamas War. A firm backer of Israel before the war, he decided early in the conflict that he would offer unconditional support for Israel and its prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. He has relentlessly hewed to that stance, at times provocatively.

(And the new Fetterman can actually talk, they don’t like that)

(NYTs knows he was switched out and doesn’t like his body double)

But he is perhaps the least revealing person to interrogate about his evolution, often claiming that if anyone had been paying close enough attention to him, they would have seen that this is the guy he has always been.

Mr. Fetterman has for years had a complicated relationship with the left, challenging its purity tests while championing some of its causes. During his Senate campaign in 2022, he claimed he had always supported fracking, even though in the past he had said he would “never” support the industry. That year, he also told Jewish Insider that he would always be pro-Israel and “lean in” to strengthening the security of the Jewish state.

Former staff members and supporters suggest there is more at play, both personally and politically. Mr. Fetterman, who swore off social media, and news in general, after his hospitalization for depression, for a time relied on staff to curate a package of clips that kept him up to speed on what he needed to know. But his return to work and sharp break with the left has coincided with a distinct shift to the right in his media diet; he sometimes appears sucked into a vortex dominated by social media, The New York Post and Fox News, where for the first time in his political career, he is receiving approving coverage.

Those who have worked with Mr. Fetterman also suggest that his transformation may be calculated, and that he is carving out what he thinks is a more sustainable and winning lane for himself as a Democrat.Politically, his repudiation of the left has benefited the senator, whose popularity in Pennsylvania polls has increased. A recent Times/Siena poll showed that he has a 48 percent approval rating there, up from 44 percent last October — substantially higher than Mr. Biden, at 41 percent.

“The left should welcome it,” said Rick Wilson, the anti-Trump Republican strategist. “His position in the center left is much more viable in an ongoing political way than the idea of John Fetterman chanting ‘from the river to the sea.’ I don’t think that’s where most Americans’ heads are at. The left should welcome watching something that works.”

He has become a sought-after headliner at state party gatheringsacross the country: in the past few months, he has been invited to speak at Democratic Party events in Des Moines, Iowa; Reno, Nevada; Broward County, Florida; as well as events in Texas, Wyoming and conferences for the machinists, the teamsters and the realtors unions.

But that rise in popularity has also meant trampling on a political brand he cultivated for years. On the campaign trail, he positioned himself as a champion of the underdog and highlighted his association with Senator Bernie Sanders, the self-described democratic socialist from Vermont he supported for president in 2016.Now, he proudly rejects the label “progressive.”

“He ran as a progressive in a very polarized election cycle,” said Nathan Diament, the executive director of public policy for the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America. “There’s almost an expectation that new and rising members of the progressive wing are going to be in varying degrees unfriendly to Israel. For Fetterman to come in and be so resolute and look at it as a black-and-white issue of morality is both surprising and very much appreciated.”

Mr. Fetterman’s supporters note that he hasfigured out a way to detach himself from the left while still supporting the Democratic agenda. He rejects comparisons to senators like Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona or Joe Manchin of West Virginia,. Despite all of his rhetoric, Mr. Fetterman so far has voted like a reliable Democratic foot soldier.

On domestic policy, he is largely still holding the line on progressive values. Mr. Fetterman wields legislative power foremost as chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee’s panel on food and nutrition, which oversees the food stamp program SNAP. In that role, he has drawn a hard line against any cuts to SNAP in the farm bill, which is due to be reauthorized this year.

At the same time, he has teamed up with Republicans, including onetime adversaries. He joined Senator Ted Cruz of Texas on a bill to limit social media in schools and on an amendment to the annual defense policy bill that would prohibit the sale of crude oil from the U.S. petroleum reserve to foreign adversaries.

On the campaign trail in 2022, Mr. Cruz made fun of Mr. Fetterman after his stroke for a shaky performance at a debate, where his auditory processing issues made it difficult for him to speak and he greeted the audience by telling them, “Good night everybody.”“In honor of John Fetterman,” Mr. Cruz said as he took the stage at an event in Tennessee not long after, “I suppose I should start by just saying, ‘Good night!’”

Russia Names Terms 1/2

You don't do that when you're losing, by the way.

 

Zelenskyy would be wise to take the deal. If he doesn't he deserves to be strung up by his testicles by his own citizens who he, and certain international interests, foolishly poked Russia repeatedly including by firing on his own people with military weaponry.

 

(As an aside, should our military ever attempt something like that on US Soil every single member of said military, all their families, and every politician at all levels is an instant target of every single citizen who disagrees – and once you start shooting or shelling people "I'm sorry" doesn't cut it. If you don't think burning homes with the kids and wives inside given that you can't go on an "operation" and protect your home and family at the same time is on the table in a dirty civil conflict you've watched too many movies written by green-haired tranny nutjobs instead of reading about prior actual events throughout history.)

 

Russia got rather tired of it given that (1) Crimea is historically Russian (cf. Catherine the Great; she paid for it as we did in several instances as well)and(2) Russia's only 12 month deep-water naval port is there. Russia was never going to give that up and yes, they'd perfect that if necessary with nuclear hellfire, and anyone who can't recognize that would have to argue that we should be willing to cede San Diego to China (or Mexico.) Fat chance.

 

We have been screwing with Russia since WWIIof course and during the Cold War and in the time of the USSR maybe there was a strategic balance point to it all. That's arguable but the USSR has been gonefor more than three decadesso go fuck yourself if you think that's a viable excuse today.

 

Nonetheless all our whizz-bang "advanced this and that" has not managed to return and hold back the territory in question and now Putin has moved the lines which he was willing to accept originally – not a lot, but he did.Zelenskyy should have taken the original dealbut rather than do so he thought he could get more by blowing billions of dollars of other people's munitions in the general direction of Moscow never mind a huge number of his own people.

 

He was full of shit and at this point the only question is how many more miles he'd like the line to be moved and whether he'd like the next line to be drawn at the Dniper, which I assume is the next demarcation point if he doesn't cut the bullshit and kiss Putin's ring in the near future.

 

Is there some military path available – or an economic (e.g. sanctions) path that will force Putin to say "Naw, take Crimea, everything that was there and you were shelling before, and by the way, its also good if Ukraine is a NATO member"?

 

Uh, no.

 

Which, incidentally, I pointed out when this crap started – so will all you rah-rah assholes admit that once again I was right?

 

Oh incidentally every single politician who has rah-rah'd for this thing here in the United Statesor voted for it is a legitimate military target of Putin's as are all their family members. Yes, all of them. Oh I know, you think "civilized war" says otherwise but you're full of shit because there is no such thing as a "civilized war." This extends to everyone in our society who produces anything, by the way, since without money and "things" you can't make the tools of war either, so either shut the fuck up or accept that you have taped a nice big fat target on both your back and every member of your family. I don't want to hear it if any of you who have cheered this on and put Ukraine flags here and there (virtually or otherwise) get whacked by some Russian "migrant" who we let into the country:If it happens that's tough shit because that's what happens during a war, like it or not, and you advocated for and supported war so shut the fuck up.

All the fantasy-land nonsense argumentsfrom various pundits and such all the way back to the start have proved to beutter and complete bullshit. The sanctions weren't just ineffective – theybackfired and have produced deeper strategic and trade ties between Russia and China,which for the last two decades I expected to eventually turn into a conflict simply because Russia has energy and China needs it, and further Russia doesn't have the people to defend it short of nuking Beijing if things go spicy. I've written articles and spoken on this for two decades and yet apparently all the "policy wonks" like little cunt Vic couldn't figure that out. Well here we are and we given both nations a reason to build pipelines and railroads instead of China contemplating whether its cheaper to buy what they want through negotiation or take it by force.Giving both nations plenty of reasonto stick it up Uncle Sam's ass and break it off as a "side effect" of such negotiation was stupid and, at this point, is also probably irreversible.

 

Rather than make good and goddamn certain that we were capable of being independent of China before setting up a situation where an alliancebetween Russia and China could trivially ratfuck us should they decide to pull that lever we considered the stonk muckit to be far more important – never mind things like precursors, reagents and even manufacturing for utterly-necessary medical supplies and pharmaceuticals!

 

Oh and then we even got so stupid we handed out money to people who literally were tampering with coronaviruses in the exact conformation that wound up as Covid, and incidentally that's not speculation anymore either. What do you think those very same people have been doing with, oh, H5N1 or even worse, given what we gave them are you absolutely certain that China doesn't have in its back pocket (and now Putin does too!) this?

 

How many of you took those magic shots? You want to keep playing around with a nation that has now formed an alliance that includes, quite-possibly, THAT?

China’s Comac poised to rise on Boeing’s downfall

Chinese plane maker tripling production capacity to seize Boeing’s local market share despite the looming threat of US sanctions

(DEI at Boeing gives a win to China)

By SCOTT FOSTER

May 24, 2024

1/2

The Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, better known asComac, plans to triple its production capacity to meet rising domestic demand for passenger jets, an expansion that coincides with ongoing troubles for American aviation giant Boeing’s planes.

 

The chances that Comac will overtake the maligned and mismanaged US plane maker in China’s booming aviation market are rising. But so too are thechances that the US might respond with new sanctions targeting Comac and other Chinese plane makers.

 

Comac plans to establish a second manufacturing site in Shanghai with an assembly line for its C919 narrow-body passenger jet and related logistics facilities, according to recent reports. The reported goal is to raise Comac’s annual production capacity from about 50 aircraft now to 150 later in the decade.

 

The C919 can carry up to 192 passengers and travel 5,555 kilometers, putting it in competition with the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. With only five C919s delivered so far, Comac is just getting started in competing for market share. But Chinese reports suggest Comac’s order backlog already exceeds 1,000 aircraft.

 

Specifically, the fledgling Chinese aircraft assembler has received orders for about 300 aircraft from China Air, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines, with deliveries scheduled through 2031. Tibet Airlines, meanwhile, ordered 40 C919s in February.

 

Limited disclosure makes comparisons difficult but Boeing reported that it had 140 completed B737 MAX 8 aircraft in inventory, of which 85 were destined for China, at the end of 2023. Of these, only 22 had been delivered by the end of April.

 

The MAX 8 is one of four variants of the Boeing 737 MAX series of narrow-body passenger jets. It entered commercial service in 2017 and became infamous in 2018 and 2019 when two fatal crashes, one in Indonesia and one in Ethiopia, were attributed to defective flight control software.

 

In March 2019, China became the first nation to ground the 737 MAX. In December 2023,the Chinese government lifted its ban on the delivery of 118 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft that had been ordered by Chinese airlines and aircraft leasing companies.

 

In January of this year, a MAX 9 aircraft flown by Alaska Airlines created a media sensation when a door plug popped out of the plane and fell into the backyard of a school teacher in Portland, Oregon. Investigations subsequently revealed bolts that were supposed to hold the door in place had not been installed.

 

This incident resulted inanother setback for Boeing as regulators demanded a review of its supply chainand manufacturing procedures, and US Senate hearings put a spotlight on allegations ofinadequate quality control and safety procedures.

 

More recently, on May 22, it was reported that deliveries of Boeing aircraft in China have been delayed again while theCivil Aviation Administration of China investigates the batteries that power their cockpit voice recorders.

Boeing expects to deliver most of its aircraft in inventory by the end of this year but at this point, it is hard to say whether or not this will be possible. If election-year politics lead the Biden administration to sanction Comac, Boeing’s quality problems have made it a perfect target for retaliation.

 

More than a year ago, in April 2023, US Senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott of Florida sent a letter to Under Secretary of Commerce for Industry and Security Alan Estevez complaining about the department’s failure to add Comac to its Military End User list.

 

The senators wrote that Comac “works closely with Western aerospace companies, including firms that produce jet engines and many other components used in commercial and military aircraft.Given the CCP’s [Chinese Communist Party’s] commitment to acquire dual-use aerospace technologies through tradeas well as forced joint venture and partnerships, these firms, and US national security by extension, are at risk.”

 

Most major components of the C919 are either imported or made in Chinaby American and European companies working with Chinese partners. The aircraft is powered by the LEAP jet engine, which is manufactured by CFM International, a joint venture between America’s GE Aviation and France’s Safran Aircraft Engines.

 

Flight controls, avionics, hydraulics, actuators, fuel systems and landing gear are made in Chinaby local joint ventures with Honeywell, Rockwell Collins, Parker Aerospace and Liebherr.

 

Aero Engine Corporation of China is developing an alternative to the LEAP jet engine, but recent reports suggest that certification may not come until 2025, if then. About 200 Chinese subcontractors supply the C919’s fuselage, wings, forged parts and other basic components and materials.

 

Comac seeks to avoid the quality problemsthat have hamstrung Boeing’s operations and seriously damaged its reputation. At the beginning of May, the C919 was put through four days of tests by China Eastern Airlines, with the engines, landing gear and instruments receiving special attention.

 

As a new entrant to the civil aviation industry, rigorous testing is imperative for the C919 to obtain certification and eventually compete for orders outside China.

 

In February, the C919 and Comac’s smaller ARJ21 regional aircraft participated in the Singapore Airshow, after which they made demonstration flights inMalaysia and elsewhere in Southeast Asia. Countries in Africa and Latin America, where China has a large economic presence and relatively good political relations, are also obviousComac target markets.

Young Donald Trump predicts Joe Biden in 1980 interview

Sky News

Mar. 9, 2024

 

Sky News host Rowan Dean says Donald Trump is a “clairvoyant” after an old video of the former president resurfaced, labelling many politicians as having “no great brain but a big smile”

 

In an interview with Rona Barrett from 1980, Mr Trump expressed that he would not like to be president in the future.

 

“The most capable people are not necessarily running for political office, and that is a very sad commentary on the country,” Mr Trump said.

 

“Somebody with strong views, and somebody with the kind of views that are maybe a little bit unpopular, which may be right, but may be unpopular, wouldn’t necessarily have a chance of getting elected against somebody with no great brain but a big smile.”

 

Sky News host James Morrow questioned, “how on earth” did Donald Trump know he would be running against Joe Biden.
