Trump’s recent gaffe set off a firestorm of arguments about his cognitive decline
| Quote: | “Why won't the media cover it?"

“Donald Trump called his wife, Melania, 'Mercedes' in a speech and I haven't seen a word from the media,” Beasley explained before adding: "Donald Trump is in cognitive decline—why won't the media cover it?"
.....
Newsweek also noted that Trump has also confused former South Carolina Governor and GOP presidential nominee candidate Nikki Haley with former Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and has been caught slurring his words during speeches.
.....
Forbes reported that this wasn’t the first time the former president has confused people's names in public and pointed to a deposition by Trump in his lawsuit from E. Jean Carroll accidentally identified Carroll as his ex-wife Marla Maples. |

here he goes again, does not even know Biden is president... just like he did not know the picture shown to him in a deposition under penalty of perjury was not his former wife but the person he raped.

These comments earned the former president a lot of love from the crowd but what he said next washed away all the cheers. "It’s a bad war. And Putin has so little respect for Obama that he’s starting to throw around the nuclear word.” |

this one is a amazing...
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-associates-paid-jailed-fbi-witness-600k-will-media-pay-attention/ar-BB1jXm5E?ocid=winp2fptaskbar&cvid=27b95c18215046a9d5c79c8ff40d4ee8&ei=51
Trump Associates Paid Jailed FBI Witness $600K - Will Media Pay Attention?
| Quote: | Ablockbuster story in The Guardian connects close business and personal associates of Donald Trump to a $600,000 payment to jailed former FBI witness Alexander Smirnov. But will the media cover it sufficiently? That’s the question Trump opponents are asking as the pace of news and Trump’s trial schedule pushes relevant stories to the bottom of the mainstream media feeds.
Smirnov is now in jail, considered a flight risk after being indicted for lying to the FBI about Hunter Biden and President Joe Biden about their allegedly corrupt business dealings with the Ukraine energy company Burisma. Rep. James Comer (R-KY), House Oversight Committee chair, had used the innuendo from Smirnov’s statements as fuel for the GOP-led impeachment inquiry into Biden. (Since Smirnov’s indictment, Comer has downplayed the importance of Smirnov’s role in the pursuit of the Biden criminal charges.)
When Smirnov was rearrested in February, CNN reported he had “extensive contacts in Russia and elsewhere, prosecutors said, and lied to authorities about his ‘access to over $6 million in liquid funds - more than enough money for him to live comfortably overseas for the rest of his life.'”
The Guardian article reveals that one-tenth of that available money comes from a payment made to Smirnov by a U.S. company — Economic Transformation Technologies (ETT) — “connected to a UK company owned by Trump business associates in Dubai, according to business filings and court documents.” The payment was made in 2020, at the same time “Smirnov began lying to the FBI about the Bidens, according to the indictment.”
The company’s CEO is American Christopher Condon, “who is also one of three shareholders in ETT Investment Holding Limited in London,” established in 2020 and now dissolved. The other two are the “Pakistani American investor Shahal Khan and Farooq Arjomand, a former chairman and current board member of Damac Properties in Dubai who is also listed as an adviser on ETT's American website,” according to The Guardian. “Arjomand have ties to Donald Trump through Trump associates and Damac, a major Middle East developer that has partnered with Trump for a decade.” (See: The Trump Estates at DAMAC Hills.
Journalist Jacqueline Sweet captioned her tweet introducing the article: “SCOOP: An American company that paid the now indicted FBI informant Alexander Smirnov in 2020 is connected to a UK company owned by Trump business associates in Dubai, according to business filings and court documents.”
So far, CNN, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal have not elevated the story as Fani Willis, Aileen Cannon, Lara Trump and Chuck Schumer dominate political coverage.
Excepting Comer’s backtracking on Smirnov’s importance, the news would seem to support, at the very least, White House Counsel Edward Siskel‘s request to House Speaker Mike Johnson to end the impeachment inquiry. "It is obviously time to move on, Mr. Speaker," Siskel wrote in a letter this week to Johnson. "This impeachment is over. There is too much important work to be done for the American people to continue wasting time on this charade." |

Gannett news chain says it will stop using AP content for first time in a century

Gannett Co., Inc. (/ɡəˈnɛt/) is an American mass media holding company headquartered in Tysons, Virginia, in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.[3][4] It is the largest U.S. newspaper publisher as measured by total daily circulation.[5]

1906–1983[edit]
Gannett Company, Inc., was formed in 1923 by Frank Gannett in Rochester, New York, as an outgrowth of the Elmira Gazette, a newspaper business he had begun in Elmira, New York, in 1906. Gannett, who was known as a conservative,[10] gained notability and fortune by purchasing small independent newspapers and developing them into a large chain, a 20th-century trend that helped the newspaper industry remain financially viable.[11] |

QAnon conspiracy theorist accused in Atlanta FBI attack: report
| Quote: | Navy veteran Ervin Lee Bolling this week allegedly plowed his SUV into the FBI headquarters near Atlanta, Georgia, and Wired reports that he frequently shared conspiracy theories on multiple social media accounts, including some related to QAnon.
Among other things, Bolling reportedly posted shortly after the 2020 presidential election that he was "looking for a good militia to join" and also expressed support for conspiracy theories about the election being "stolen" from former President Donald Trump.
"Around the same time, social media accounts seemingly associated with Bolling repeatedly boosted QAnon content and interacted with QAnon promoters, including posting a link to a now-deleted QAnon-associated channel on YouTube," Wired adds. "On what’s believed to be Bolling’s Facebook account, there were various posts related to anti-vaccine memes as well."

It's not yet known that apparent belief in conspiracy theories drove Bolling to allegedly attack the FBI building.
However, there is past precedent for FBI buildings coming under attack from Trump supporters.
Shortly after the FBI executed a search warrant at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort to retrieve top-secret government documents he had stashed there, 42-year-old Trump supporter Ricky Shiffer brought a gun to an FBI office in Ohio and began opening fire there before he was eventually killed by law enforcement officials. |

Former Fox Executive Calls Donald Trump Jr. 'Pathetic'
| Quote: | A former head of news at Fox has criticized Donald Trump Jr. online, calling him a "low IQ oaf."
Joe Peyronnin was also the executive vice president and founder of Telemundo News and is a former senior executive and producer at CBS News. Now the 76-year-old often shares his political thoughts on X, formerly Twitter.
Peyronnin reshared a post from Ron Filipkowski—a vocal Trump critic and editor-in-chief at the independent news network MeidasTouch—that featured a video of former President Donald Trump's son arguing that President Joe Biden's administration treats Catholics as "domestic terrorists." At the time of writing, Filipkowski's post had more than 2 million views. Newsweek emailed Peyronnin and Trump's campaign spokesperson, Steven Cheung, for comment Thursday.
"Biden's DOJ [Department of Justice] treated Catholics like terrorists. If you were a practicing catholic you were a domestic terrorist. If you bought a bible, you were marked by your banks and that information was given to said FBI and DOJ. They think churchgoing patriots are terrorists," Trump Jr. said in the clip, which was a snippet from his "Triggered" video podcast.
When Peyronnin reshared the post, he added: "Donald Junior is a pathetic, low IQ oaf, who spews ridiculous lies to please daddy."
Filipkowski then shared a screenshot of Peyronnin's tweet, which ignited a conversation in the comments.
Some people hoped that public opinion of the Trump family was changing. "Is the tide actually turning ? Junior is painful at best and ridiculous worst," one person commented.
"DJT JR is off the deep end. Nobody not even MAGA believe his ridiculous lies or his debunked Conspiracy Theories," posted another.
Others criticized Peyronnin for not speaking out when he worked at Fox, though it appears they might have confused the Fox network with the Fox News channel.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Peyronnin was head of news at the Fox network from January 1995 to March 1996. He did not work for conservative-leaning Fox News, which was launched in October 1996.
"All these Republicans are so brave—once they're 'former.'" one X user posted.
"Damn, i love all these 'formers' so much, they're so sharp, so righteous, too bad they don't matter now. If only they were so sharp when they were in position of power to be actually able to project some influence to really change things," wrote another.
A third added: "Unfortunately, like Republican politicians, he only deigns to tell the truth about any Trump, once he's no longer in a position of power. Would have been nice to hear that from Fox when he was."
Others praised Peyronnin's post. "Amazing someone from fox telling the truth," one person wrote, while another posted: "Could not have said it better myself."
Trump Jr. isn't the only one who has peddled these ideas, as Donald Trump has accused President Biden of similar tactics.
"Under Crooked Joe Biden, Christians and Americans of faith are being persecuted like nothing this nation has ever seen before. Catholics in particular are being targeted and evangelicals are surely on the watchlist as well," Trump said in a video he posted to his social-media platform Truth Social in December.
There is no evidence to support either Trump Jr. or Trump's claims, which have been seen as a way for the latter to galvanize support among Christians across the country.
During the 2016 and 2020 elections, Trump received crucial support from white Evangelical Christians. He secured a formidable alliance with them, who gravitated toward him for his stance on religious freedom and abortion.
However, in March, a Fox News poll found Trump slightly losing support from white evangelicals to President Joe Biden. The poll found 28 percent of such voters siding with Biden in the 2024 presidential race, up from 23 percent in October. |

what 9th richest man in the worlds trust fund kid in hollywood/media..
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/david-ellison-son-world-9th-202244284.html
David Ellison, son of the world’s 9th-richest man, is poised to become a Hollywood power player as he closes in on buying Paramount
| Quote: |
The production company behind Top Gun: Maverick might fly to the top of Paramount’s mountain of content.
Skydance Media, the production studio owned by Larry Ellison’s son David, is in advanced negotiations to take a significant stake in Paramount Global. The exact nature of the deal has not yet been defined, including whether or not Skydance and its private equity backers RedBird Capital Partners and KKR will take a majority stake. But talks between the two sides are moving quickly, following Skydance and Paramount entering an agreement to engage in exclusive talks last week.
If the deal were to go through, it would cement David Ellison’s rise as a Hollywood power player.
For an upstart like Skydance, buying Paramount Global, ordinarily considered an ailing company, would represent a coup. Skydance would own Paramount’s storied library, which counts properties like The Godfather and Titanic, the entire CBS brand and its valuable news outlet, several cable channels like Nickelodeon and Comedy Central, and a streaming service with 67 million subscribers in Paramount+ among its assets. Closing the deal would announce that the wealthy son of the ninth-richest man in the world—who would still be providing some of the capital needed to fund the deal—has perhaps well and truly made it in Hollywood.
Ellison first showed up in the movie business as a fresh-faced 23-year-old whom many studios and executives thought they could fleece for some cash. Instead he took his family money and put it to work building a successful company that’s created a long-lasting relationship with Tom Cruise, produced dozens of movies, and recently branched out into video games. Now Ellison is poised to strike a deal for one of the dying embers of Hollywood’s Golden Age in Paramount Global.
Paramount and KKR declined to comment. RedBird and Skydance did not respond to a request for comment.
The current outline of the deal would be structured so that the Skydance contingent would acquire Shari Redstone’s holding company, National Amusements, which controls about 77% of the voting shares of Paramount Global, but notably less than 10% of the total equity. Skydance and Redstone already have an agreement in principle, according to Bloomberg. The deal would see Skydance and its partners pay over $2 billion for National Amusements, effectively giving them control of Paramount. They are also in talks to buy a certain number of common shares. The combined number of shares would give Skydance and its partners control of about 45% to just over 50% of Paramount, according to CNBC.
By Thursday it appeared negotiations between the two groups were picking up speed. Executives from Paramount and Skydance are scheduled to meet sometime next week, according to a CNBC report Thursday, while the investment firm RedBird, a specialist in the media sector, will begin due diligence at Paramount.
Skydance would then merge with Paramount Global. If that were to happen the new company would be run by Ellison with a senior role for former NBCUniversal CEO and current RedBird executive Jeff Shell.
Ellison and Paramount have a long-standing relationship. When the young scion was just breaking into Hollywood he financed and produced several Paramount pictures, including Star Trek and Mission: Impossible movies. Eventually he branched out on his own, founding Skydance in 2010. Since then the company has produced several major hits including Top Gun: Maverick and Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One.
In the early days it was hard to shed the rich-kid aura, Ellison said. “There was a period of time where people just looked at us as money, and we knew that,” he told the New York Times in 2021. “But there has been a shift. Our content, the ideas, the execution, has become more important than our capital.”
Since then Skydance has expanded to include animations, video games, and VR content. It’s also started to attract some of the best talent in the business. The animation division is headed by John Lasseter, a man who is already familiar with Silicon Valley’s encroachments into Hollywood, having started Pixar alongside Steve Jobs. Cruise, who has worked with Skydance on multiple projects, sang Ellison’s praises effusively in a 2015 GQ profile. Skydance's video game division has secured licenses for major IP franchises like Marvel and Star Wars.
If Skydance were to succeed in taking over Paramount Global, it wouldn’t just represent a personal triumph for Ellison, but a corporate one for an independent movie studio that entered a deal with a legacy media company as a buyer, not a seller. More often than not in the history of the entertainment business, successful independent companies have eventually been subsumed by the behemoths that dominated the industry. One need not look any further than Pixar, where Lasseter made his name, bought by Disney for $7.4 billion in 2006. Skydance could also have been lapped up by a tech company in the same way Amazon bought MGM for $8.5 billion in 2021.
Whether or not a Skydance deal represents the best option for Paramount shareholders remains to be determined in full. Paramount had an independent committee comprising eight of its 11 board members that was tasked with finding the best possible deal for the company. On Thursday, three people on that committee, along with another board member, left their directorships. In the meantime, several shareholders are up in arms about the deal, setting up a potential boardroom showdown. If the deal falls apart Redstone and the Paramount board might have to settle for another deal, which at the moment seems to be a $26 billion all-cash offer from private equity firm Apollo.
