Billionaires Elon Musk and Nelson Peltz are reportedly involved in an ongoing campaign in powerful networks to persuade influential business executives nationwide not to back President Joe Biden’s reelection effort, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.

Musk, who owns social media platform X, is a prominent critic of Biden and has faced many investigations stemming from the current president’s administration since purchasing the company, which was formerly called Twitter. Musk and others who share his political views have been organizing meetings to target Biden, according to individuals familiar with the discussions, the WSJ reported.

Peltz, who founded an investment company called Trian Partners, told The Financial Times in March that he plans to support Trump because of immigration issues and due to fears about Biden’s “mental condition.”

NBC Claims Increased Spending Shows ‘Confidence,’ Omits Inflation– www.newsbusters.org

Excerpt from www.newsbusters.org

Wednesday morning’s airing of NBC’s Today included a segment exploring the purported rise of consumer confidence in May. The show’s hosts were joined by senior business correspondent Christine Romans, who broke down the contributing factors and came to the conclusion that people were acting confidently through their spending, while simultaneously not taking into account that goods and services cost more due to inflation.

Romans began by firmly stating that “a very strong job market is really supporting people’s finances here.” She cited examples of people’s intentions to make larger purchases, like cars and appliances, adding that “Those are things that suggest you have confidence in your paycheck.” According to her analysis, the labor market was most significantly affecting the increase in consumer confidence.

NBC Nightly News, apparently having nothing else with which to fill nearly 3 minutes, decided to fart out a report that serves little purpose except to bash an old rival, Gov. Ron DeSantis, and cast the State of Florida in a negative light.

Here’s how Lester Holt introduced the report filed by, quite appropriately, Shannon Pettypiece:

Excerpt from www.washingtonexaminer.com

With former President Donald Trump staring down a possible felony conviction this week, his ability to vote for himself in November could be stripped away.

An estimated 4.4 million people, or 2% of the electorate, were unable to vote in the 2022 elections because of felony convictions on their records, according to the Sentencing Project. New York and Florida are among the 48 states that prohibit certain felons from voting. If Trump is convicted, it raises the possibility that he could not cast a vote in November for himself or for anyone, for that matter.

However, experts speaking with NBC News hold that the possibility is unlikely.

Abandoned farmlands could play a role in fighting climate change. A study shows exactly where they are– phys.org

Excerpt from phys.org

Farmland is often a battleground in the fight against climate change. Solar panels and energy crops are pitted against food production, while well-intended policy choices can create incentives for farmers to till up new lands, releasing even more heat-trapping gas into the atmosphere.

That’s why strategies for sustainable plant-based fuels focus on marginal lands—fields that are too hard to cultivate or don’t produce good enough yields to be considered profitable.

A new tool developed by scientists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison could help relieve that tension.

Bannon And Alex Jones: FBI Wanted Trump To ‘Bleed Out’ At Mar-A-Lago Raid– crooksandliars.com

Steve Bannon and Alex Jones ranted like fools when they both claimed that Merrick Garland and the FBI wanted to inflict serious bodily harm to Trump when they searched Mar-A-Lago.

These two are some of the worst traitors in US history.

BANNON: The deep state, you’ve seen this in Garland. Look, you just had Judge Cannon come out today and basically crap all over Jack Smith’s head. At 10 o’clock at night on Friday, on the holiday weekend, Alex, Jack Smith filed and said, oh, this is terrible.

Julie Kelly, Steve Bannon, Mike Davis, they’re saying everything about this assassination attempt. And let me be blunt, this was not a standard operating procedure.

Trump’s Fresh Attacks on E. Jean Carroll Could Lead to Yet Another Multimillion-Dollar Defamation Lawsuit: “All Options Are on the Table“– www.vanityfair.com

Excerpt from www.vanityfair.com

Donald Trump already owes writer E. Jean Carroll $91 million for defaming and sexually abusing her and then defaming her again. That’s obviously a lot of money for anyone to cough up, but particularly for a guy who has also been ordered to pay nearly half a billion dollars in an unrelated case involving him being a fraud. Yet apparently the ex-president is unconcerned with running up his tab, as he spent the long weekend resuming his attacks on Carroll.

In a characteristically unhinged rant on Truth Social that began “Happy Memorial Day to All, including the Human Scum that is working so hard to destroy our Once Great Country,” Trump insisted that he’d “never met” Carroll, and claimed that the fact that she didn’t know the exact date the assault in question took place, didn’t file a police report, and didn’t “produce” the outfit she was wearing at the time suggested the attack never happened. He also used the post to lash out at the judge who presided over the Carroll case. (Trump has attempted to appeal the defamation judgment and delay its enforcement, but a federal judge rejected his most recent request.)

Axios claims that Disney’s favorability among Republicans increased from a score of 61.03 in 2023 to 67.8 in 2024.

The outlet declares, “Disney’s recovery among Republicans is notable, given how polarizing the firm remains. Disney has the fourth-largest political skew toward Democrats of all companies measured in the Axios Harris Poll 100, ranked only behind Target, Anheuser-Busch and Pfizer.”

A MAGA fan accused of “ramming” police officers with a giant, metal “TRUMP” sign during the U.S. Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021 has been arrested in South Dakota, according to court records and an NBC News report.

“William George Knight faces more than a half-dozen charges in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, including felony charges of assault on a federal officer and obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder,” reported Ryan J. Reilly.

Knight was apprehended as a suspect due to the online detective work of the “sedition hunters,” a loose-knit collective that has helped track down hundreds of people to assist the FBI, according to the report.

Mark Houck‘s life was changed forever in the fall of 2022 after he was arrested at gunpoint in front of his family following an investigation into his anti-abortion activism outside a Planned Parenthood clinic in Philadelphia.

After the Pennsylvania-based Catholic father’s acquittal by a jury in January 2023, Houck is demanding accountability for the Department of Justice in a new lawsuit filed this week. The complaint names six police officers, including four unknown officers, that aided the FBI’s investigation and execution of the “needless” raid of Houck’s home, his attorney Matt Britton told the Washington Examiner.

The suit was brought under the Federal Tort Claims Act, accusing the DOJ under the Biden administration of “malicious prosecution, retaliatory prosecution, abuse of process, false arrest, assault, and intentional infliction of emotional distress committed by federal employees and agents against Mr. Houck, Mrs. Houck, and their children,” according to the 79-page lawsuit.

Thousands of protesters around the world took to the streets to condemn both “Israel” and the world leaders’ silence on the genocide, following the horrendous massacre “Israel” committed as it targeted tents housing displaced Palestinians in Rafah.

On Sunday evening, Israeli occupation forces committed a new massacre against dozens of displaced persons by bombing their tents set up in UNRWA warehouses in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip, an alleged “safe zone”.

Last week, Nikki Haley became the latest Republican to come crawling back into the fold to endorse Donald Trump after his abuse and humiliation.

“I think she’s going to be on our team,” he told a local New York journalist in response, kindly refraining from his frequent nickname for her: “birdbrain.”

Exactly what kind of team member will she be this time around, after serving as Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations in his first term? It probably depends on what she can do, and continue to do, for the multi-indicted Trump.

Americans tend to approve of the right to protest more in the abstract than when manifested. For decades, public protest often triggered an exaggerated reaction: If you don’t like how things are in the United States, get out. Particularly since the Vietnam War, this response has often been partisan, with members of the political right encouraging the frustrated left to simply leave.

Donald Trump would no doubt tell you he was a better president than Ronald Reagan … and Abraham Lincoln … and George Washington. But, as we all know, Trump just says things, and if they’re even tangentially connected to the truth, it’s usually just an accident.

That said, in at least one significant way, Trump is hoping to seriously one-up the Gipper, who—not for nothing—led us down the faux-patriotic primrose path to the front gate of the abattoir.

Wednesday night, after a long day putting the finishing touches on his health care, infrastructure, and reproductive rights plans (all available in two weeks!), Trump promised that Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who’s currently being detained in Russia and has been jailed for a year, would be released “almost immediately” after the November election—but only if Trump wins.

Excerpt from www.usatoday.com

As Donald Trump heads toward a November rematch election against President Joe Biden, his online posts are reinvigorating a key element of his support from years past: the conspiracy theory known as QAnon.

While QAnon largely faded from the spotlight after Trump left office, he has newly amplified the ideas on his social media platform, Truth Social.

Since the site launched two years ago, Trump has reposted or promoted QAnon-affiliated accounts more than 800 times, ensuring their messages will be widely seen, according to a new study from liberal watchdog group Media Matters shared exclusively with USA TODAY.

Experts say the support amounts to a tacit endorsement of a dangerous movement that has been linked to criminal acts ranging from the Jan. 6 Capitol riot to isolated cases of violence and even murder.

Christina Bobb, the RNC’s election integrity lawyer, was arraigned on criminal charges related to the fake elector scheme in Arizona.

MSNBC.com reported:

The defendants appeared in court, in person and virtually, on Tuesday in Phoenix. Giuliani, who appeared without a lawyer, called in, telling the judge that he didn’t have a copy of the indictment but has a “general familiarity with the charges from reading it in the newspapers.” He pleaded not guilty.

Others arraigned Tuesday include former Arizona Republican Party chair Kelli Ward and Christina Bobb, who served as a 2020 Trump campaign adviser and is now an “election integrity” lawyer for the Republican National Committee. They all pleaded not guilty.

Rudy Giuliani is the big headliner in this group, but it is unfathomable that the “election integrity” lawyer for the Republican National Committee is facing criminal charges for election-related crimes, and it doesn’t generate even a ripple in mainstream media coverage.

Trump claimed that Putin will release detained Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershovich only if he wins the election

Trump posted on Truth Social:

Evan Gershkovich, the Reporter from The Wall Street Journal, who is being held by Russia, will be released almost immediately after the Election, but definitely before I assume Office. He will be HOME, SAFE, AND WITH HIS FAMILY. Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, will do that for me, but not for anyone else, and WE WILL BE PAYING NOTHING!

Instead of calling on the detained reporter to be freed, Trump is fine with the reporter being held for ransom, and that ransom is the return of Trump to the White House. What Trump posted about Gerschovich was un-American. If he returns to the White House, Trump signaled that he will only work to free American hostages, and let’s face it, an unjustly detained journalist is being used as a hostage if there is something in it for him.

For more than two years, countries of the world have worked together toward one generational goal – to ensure we are better prepared for the next pandemic by learning the lessons from COVID-19.

At a time when conflicts, politics and economics have wrought destruction, discord and division, sovereign governments have found a way to work collaboratively to forge a new global agreement to protect the world from future, inevitable pandemic emergencies.

This essential effort, being driven by hundreds of negotiators tasked by more than 190 nations, was launched in the middle of the most devastating event in our lifetimes.

Based on official counts, COVID-19 left more than 7 million people dead worldwide. But the real toll is likely many times higher. It wiped billions, if not trillions, from the global economy. Social upheaval, from job losses to school closures, scarred communities across the globe.

A wealthy Chinese businessman who left China a decade ago and became a U.S.-based outspoken critic of his homeland’s Communist Party went on trial in New York on Wednesday for what prosecutors say were multiple frauds that cheated hundreds of thousands of people worldwide of over $1 billion.

Guo Wengui, 57, once believed to be among the richest people in China, sat with his lawyers in Manhattan federal court as jury selection began for a trial projected to last seven weeks. He pleaded not guilty after his March 2023 arrest for what prosecutors say was a five-year fraud scheme that began in 2018.

Judge Analisa Torres told dozens of prospective jurors crowded into a courtroom that they were being considered for a jury that will decide the fate of 12 criminal charges alleging that Guo operated four fraudulent investment schemes.
