Paul Pelosi, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, is one heck of a trader!
He purchased about $10 million in Microsoft shares through call options on March 19th when the stock was trading at $230.35. Days later, Microsoft was awarded a contract by the U.S. Army valued at $22 billion and inked a deal to buy an artificial intelligence firm. It’s stock has soared about 12% since Mr. Pelosi’s initial investment.(Snip) But Mr. Pelosi’s good fortunes don’t stop there. Weeks before President Biden signed an executive order to replace the entire federal automobile fleet with electric cars, Mr. Pelosi bought up to $1 million in Tesla

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy is considering using federal funds to provide around $40 million in one-time stimulus payments to the state’s undocumented immigrants via executive action, according to five people familiar with the matter. Representatives from Murphy’s office suggested the figure during a conference call with immigration advocates on Tuesday.(Snip) The roughly $40 million figure—which would be funded through remaining federal CARES dollars—was a non-starter for advocates, who are seeking larger relief measures, such as $2,000 in direct stimulus payments to individuals and $600 in unemployment-like benefits. Sources said the 30-minute call grew “pretty heated” over the amount,

Green Level, N.C.—A popular Charlotte-area teacher was killed in an Alamance County shootout with a Mexican drug cartel last week, the Alamance County Sheriff's Office said during a news conference Wednesday. Barney Harris, a basketball coach at Union Academy in Monroe was well-loved and respected, but Alamance County Sheriff Terry Johnson said, on the side, Harris was involved in the "dangerous and deadly" drug world. "I can tell you right now, when we are dealing with the Mexican drug cartel, someone is going to die as a result of this," Johnson said.(Snip) Authorities said the duo broke into a trailer

Russian troops have painted their assault vehicles with 'invasion stripes' as Vladimir Putin masses more troops on the Ukrainian border and fears that he may try to invade. An onlooker in the Astrakhan region of Russia, 350 miles from the border filmed a column of armoured personnel carriers with a white cross painted across the top. In the Cold War, Russian forces painted the cross onto their vehicles when they were facing opponents who also used identical Soviet-made machinery in an attempt to avoid friendly fire.
While in the modern age, technology renders the rudimentary identification unnecessary the paint could be designed to intimidate

The BBC's diversity chief has claimed Idris Elba's TV detective Luther 'isn't black enough to be real' because 'he doesn't have any black friends and doesn't eat any Caribbean food'. Miranda Wayland said the hit crime drama, which won plaudits for having a strong, black lead character, was only superficially diverse and that corporation bosses are now looking to portray minority groups in a more convincing and rounded way.(Snip)
However, Ms Wayland told the MIPTV conference this week that to achieve true representation, TV chiefs must ensure black characters have an environment and culture built around them that is completely reflective of their background.

Anthony Weiner may want to start drinking his coffee at home. The disgraced politician’s pervy past caught up with him as he sipped java with an unidentified male at Bryant Park on Monday afternoon.(Snip) “I think it’s disgusting that he’s able to sit outside in public. He’s a registered sex offender and I wanted to remind him of that, and raise awareness,” Sharp told Page Six. This isn’t the first time that Weiner, who went to prison in 2017 after pleading guilty to sexting with a 15-year-old girl, had to face his new identity as a convicted, registered sex offender.

Eight Republican members of the House Committee on Homeland Security have just returned from a fact-finding mission along the southern U.S. border, specifically in the Rio Grande Valley sector of Texas. They have compiled some “shocking realities” in a 10-point follow-up report released Wednesday.
“The Donna Processing Facility costs $19.2 million per month to operate. Members were told that $50,000 per month is coming out of U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s operational funds to pay for diapers and other consumables that were not budgeted for,” the lawmakers said in their report, also noting that 40% of the border agents have been pulled

President Biden’s U.N. ambassador wants the world to know that the Declaration of Independence and the principles espoused within are laced with “White supremacy.” Linda Thomas-Greenfield made the blanket comments about founding documents this week while speaking to the Al Sharpton-founded National Action Network (NAN). “I have seen for myself how the original sin of slavery weaved White supremacy into our founding documents and principles,” she said.(Snip) She did, however, lament a rise in hate crimes and the “bullying, discrimination, and violence that Asian Americans face every day—especially since the outbreak of COVID-19.” Ms. Thomas-Greenfield noted that continuing struggles with

Border Patrol agents stopped a trailer at a border checkpoint in Texas and discovered 18 adults crammed in a space under the boards and two children stuffed into a side panel. Chief Patrol Agent Austin Skero of the Del Rio Sector tweeted photos of the illegal immigrants packed in the trailer so tight they were nearly lying atop one another with barely room to move.
Most of them held their arms down along their body to make more room in the space that appeared to be no more than 18 inches deep. Tarps and bags were on the bed of the trailer to conceal the immigrants

Patrisse Khan-Cullors, the self-described Marxist leader of Black Lives Matter, raked in upwards of $20,000 a month as the chairwoman of a jail reform initiative, according to reports on Wednesday. Reform LA Jails paid Cullors’ consulting firm, Janaya and Patrisse Consulting, a total of $191,000 in 2019, according to campaign finance data cited by Fox News and The Daily Caller. Cullors, who is listed as “principal officer” and “business owner” on the payments, started the firm with her spouse and BLM co-founder Janaya Khan. The reports came as the 37-year-old activist faced criticism over a real estate spending spree

What do you do when you're an aspiring United Airlines pilot fleeing the police in a high-speed chase? Lean out the window and shoot at them, because Marxist BLACK LIVES MATTER, the MSM, and the Harris Administration assure us that all cops are bastids.
