Chase Coleman, a Julian Robertson protege and founder of Tiger Global, invested heavily in Leon Black’s Apollo Global in 2017 after revealing it even had a stake in March. Back in 2008 Tiger Global invested in Peter Thiel’s Palantir, Facebook, and Yuri Milner’s Mail.ru.

Yuri Milner’s DST would later invest in Facebook as well through funding by Russian state-owned Gazprom. Milner also invested in Jared Kushner’s scandal-ridden Cadre, which Kushner failed to reveal his stake in upon entering the White House.

Leon Black’s Apollo: Shady Dealings

Leon Black’s Apollo Global Management loaned Jared Kushner $180 million dollars after Apollo’s senior managing director and co-founder, Joshua Harris, met with Jared Kushner on several occasions. That loan is currently under investigation by Congress. There was even discussion of Harris receiving a job in the White House.

On September 18, 2015, the state-run Qatari Investment Authority invested almost $9 million into Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance.

The Qatari Investment Fund is also a client of Rudy Giuliani since 2005.

In April 2017 Jared Kushner’s father, Charles, met with vice chairman of the Qatari

Investment Authority,Ali Sharif Al-Emadi, over financing for 666 Fifth Avenue. A month after QIA declined to invest, Jared Kushner supported a blockade against Qatar from neighboring countries, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

CIM and Trump-Russia

Jared Kushner bought part of the old New York Times building from Russian oligarch Lev Leviev with help from LA-based CIM run by Leon Black’s brother-in-law Richard Ressler. Tony Ressler, Richard’s brother and Leon Blacks’ brother-in-law, co-founded Apollo Global Management with Leon Black. CIM was also involved in the scandal-ridden Trump SoHo managed by felon and Russian mob-linked Felix Sater. CIM also partner with Jared Kushner on a series of other properties, including 200 Lafayette Street, 2 Rector Street, and 85 Jay Street.

CIM partnered with Harry Macklowe, the person who tried but ultimately failed to arrange a real-estate deal between Paul Manafort, Fred Trump's right hand man Brad Zackson, Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, and Ukrainian oligarch Dmitry Firtash for the Drake Hotel.

In December 2010 CIM bailed out the scandal-ridden Trump SoHo managed by felon and Russian mob-linked Felix Sater with an $85 million lifeline. That same month, CIM bailed out Trump’s business partner in Trump SoHo, Tamir Sapir, with two properties. Tamir Sapir’s son-in-law, Rotem Rosen, smoked cigars with Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, the day Cohen’s case went to court after being raided by the FBI’s SDNY.

DOJ Adds Walmart, Costco, Amazon To Beef Price Probe

The Justice Department has added eight major grocery chains to its beef affordability investigation.

The announcement came Tuesday in a post from the department's official X account. Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward sent the retailers the letters concerning recent increases in the retail price of beef.

The list includes Kroger, Publix, Walmart, Albertsons, Aldi, Ahold Delhaize USA, Costco, and Amazon.

The DOJ's Antitrust Division "has expanded its investigation to include 8 of the largest grocers when it comes to beef affordability," the post read. "Beef prices are a critical concern to Americans, and a priority for this Justice Department."

Nothing more was released about what the letters demand or when answers are due.

The department had already been investigating the big meatpackers. Cargill, Tyson Foods, JBS, and National Beef handle roughly 85 percent of the nation's beef processing.

President Donald Trump ordered the Justice Department to probe the packers in November 2025, pointing to possible collusion and price manipulation. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in May the department had already analyzed more than 3 million documents. Ranchers, cattlemen, producers, and processors all received calls or were interviewed.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton launched his own investigation that same month. He said Texans deserve fair prices at the store and ranchers deserve fair pay for their work.

Beef prices at the checkout have hit consumer pocketbooks. Ground beef sat near $7 a pound in the second quarter of this year. That was up about 70 percent since early 2021. Overall retail beef prices hit new records earlier in 2026.

The cattle herd itself is the smallest in decades amid drought, feed costs, and other pressures thinning the numbers. Ranchers' cut of every retail dollar has fallen to historic lows, while the big processors posted strong profits.

Earlier this spring, the department settled with Agri Stats, a data firm that shared detailed pricing and production numbers among the big processors. Officials said the practice cut competition and helped processors identify opportunities to push prices higher on chicken, pork, and turkey.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins has repeatedly pointed to the tight hold the four packers have on the market. The administration has tried other moves as well-opening more land for grazing, adjusting import quotas on lean trimmings for ground beef, and pushing programs to rebuild cattle herds nationally.

Rabbi says Trump is their Messiah that's gonna serve Israel

Dave Smith: "Israel Is On The Ballot And Israel Is About To Deliver Us Socialism"

Last night’s debate on the Iran war brought together Alan Dershowitz and libertarian Dave Smith for a wide-ranging clash over Iran, Israel, and … you guessed it: Antisemitism!

Dershowitz defended the case for confronting Iran while calling Smith a racist, bigot, and an important part of the “2000 year history” of antisemitism. Smith made a few jabs back while arguing the Iran war is the worst decision in modern U.S. history. Dersh maintained that he is pro-regime change by “almost any means,” justifying this position by invoking Hitler.

We recommend the full debate, but here were two highlights:

“Israel is about to deliver us socialism”

Dershowitz noted that Israel itself is increasingly becoming an electoral issue and said Americans will ultimately be able to make up their minds on whether to continue supporting the country financially/militarily:

“We're having an election coming up. Israel is very much on the ballot in many places,” Dershowitz said.

Smith strongly agreed that Israel and its enormous backlash over their conduct in Gaza:

“I'm so glad you said that, because Israel is about to deliver us socialism… Israel's on the ballot and Israel is so hated right now that we're gonna turn to socialism instead.”

There is a strong basis for Smith’s prediction for anyone paying attention. The most anti-Israel wing of Democratic politics overlaps considerably with its socialist wing. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) officially supports BDS (boycott, divest, sanctions against Israel) and requires candidates seeking its national endorsement to satisfy a set of “Anti-Zionist requirements.” Much of this aligns with sentiments on the populist right - minus the socialism.

The result, according to Smith, will be more Mandami’s, more Al Sayed’s, and more Ilhan Omar’s.

NEW: The Maria Bartiromo backstory, per multiple sources familiar….

Maria Bartiromo wanted to pursue a story related to China and 2020 election voting conspiracies… a major sensitivity for the network given its Dominion and Smartmatic lawsuits.

A Fox Business executive sent a text to Fox Business producers informing them that that story could not go to air.

Bartiromo took a screen shot of the guidance and sent it to senior White House officials.

Fox News leadership learned about that after receiving a call from the White House, which they viewed as a fireable offense.

Fox pulled Bartiromo from air after Aug. 9. She was fired today. I have also learned that her executive producer Patrick Ignozzi was also fired after the annoucnement.

Maria had resigned her contract with Fox last February.
