The break-up, which is expected to be a tax-free transaction, has been approved by its board of directors.
Nearly 10 days after a “framework” agreement on additional federal gun laws was reached by a group of 20 members of the United States Senate, the text of the bill was released by Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) Tuesday night, and the Senate is currently (as of press time) taking a vote on whether or not to begin debate on the bill – even while analysts are still digesting it. For those who don’t want to read for themselves or wait for trusted analysts, Murphy posted a tweet thread asking people to “let [him] tell you what it does.” Pardon us if we’re not going to take Murphy’s word

The leader of a drug ring that flooded a city with heroin and cocaine has fought a four-year human rights battle against deportation to Somalia. The Home Office made an order to remove Yahya Hashi four years ago after serving his eight-year sentence for conspiracy to supply cocaine and heroin.(Snip)His first appeal was allowed on the basis he would be at risk of harm from terror group Al Shabaab in Somalia, given he was a member of a minority clan. He also claimed his deportation would breach his right to his family life in the UK, as he had lived here for 17 years, and his mother,
A bipartisan working group of U.S. Senators — 10 Democrats and 10 Republicans — finally unveiled the result of their work on federal firearm legislation spurred by the tragic shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, one that increasingly looks to have been worsened by a failure in local authorities' response.
The text's release was delayed this week by some last-minute negotiations over a ban on any healthcare-related funds in the bill being used to pay for abortions, but that hurdle was cleared by Tuesday afternoon when the final text was released.
Totaling 80 pages, the bill text can be viewed below:
Self-proclaimed man of integrity Brad Raffensperger doesn’t want Americans to know what he really knows. A request for emails between Raffensperger and a Taiwan immigrant was finally returned but 90% of the documents were redacted. What’s really going on?
Brad Raffensperger became famous for his actions in certifying the 2020 Election in Georgia for Joe Biden. Despite impossible results that Raffensperger himself said weren’t possible the day after the 2020 Election, a few days later Raffensperger certified the election in the state for Joe Biden.
HUNTSVILLE, Alabama — Katie Britt won the Republican nomination for Senate in Alabama with a landslide runoff victory over Rep. Mo Brooks, capping a come-from-behind campaign that saw her first spurned but then endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
Few believed Britt, 40, was viable last June upon entering the campaign against Brooks, one of the first Republican Senate contenders of the 2022 election cycle to receive a coveted Trump endorsement. But the former chief of staff to retiring Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) shrugged off Trump’s early criticism that she was an unqualified, establishment lackey — leapfrogging Brooks in the polls, finishing first

President Joe Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland made a surprise visit to Ukraine as major American cities face skyrocketing murder rates and lawlessness.
On the visit Tuesday, Garland met with Prosecutor General of Ukraine Iryna Venediktova near the Ukraine-Poland border.
Meanwhile, back in the United States, major cities are continuing to endure a crime wave that includes sky-high murder rates that show no signs of easing up. Fox News analysis shows five cities, in particular, are on pace to shatter their 2021 murder rates.

A bipartisan group of Senate negotiators released the text of their bill to combat gun violence following a string of recent mass shootings, including one at a Uvalde, Texas, elementary school. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said he expects to pass the bill this week.
The bill would grant funding for states to implement red flag laws or other crisis prevention measures, enhance some background checks, and close the so-called boyfriend loophole: a gap in federal law barring spouses, but not dating partners, convicted of domestic abuse from gun ownership. The bill would also provide funding for some mental health resources and school safety measures.
Trucking executive Mike Collins beat Vernon Jones, the self-described "black Donald Trump," in a Republican runoff race on Tuesday that pitted the endorsement power of the former president against his political adversary, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp.
Collins, the son of a congressman, will be the Republican nominee for Georgia's 10th Congressional District. Collins is highly favored in November to claim the deep-red seat.
Georgia's 10th District, a conservative stronghold made up of 18 counties, stretches from the outskirts of Henry County in metropolitan Atlanta to the South Carolina state line.

Ex-Fulton County election worker Wandrea ArShaye 'Shaye' Moss told the Jan. 6 committee that she has received a barrage of harassment and threats after Rudy Giuliani accused her of passing along a USB connected to fake votes that turned out to be a ginger mint.
'It's turned my life upside down,' Moss said, adding that she hardly leaves the house, gained 60 lbs and oftentimes wouldn't even introduce herself using her real name.

Over the past weekend, Stephen Colbert staffers were caught trying to break into the US Capitol, with Fox News Channel’s Chad Pergram confirming the news in a Twitter thread, saying:
“Fox confirms that group of persons associated with The Late Show Stephen Colbert were arrested last night and charged with illegal entry to House office buildings after hours. Fox is told the people were arrested in the Longworth House Office Building.”
Well, one Fox News Channel co-host, Jeanine Pirro, sounded off on how those Colbert staffers are being treated in comparison with the January 6th protesters that have been locked up for months,
An Air Force service member has been arrested by military police for an alleged insider attack at a US base in Syria in April that left four US service members injured, officials said. The unidentified airman was arrested in the United States on June 16 after allegedly setting off explosives during the attack in Green Village Syria, Air Force spokesperson Ann Stefanek told CNN. “After reviewing the information in the investigation, the Airman’s commander made the decision to place him in pretrial confinement,” Stefanek said.
No other details about the individual have been released. “We won’t release the individual’s name unless charges are preferred,” Stefanek said.

The United States is pushing to “strengthen international coordination” against the Chinese government’s human rights abuses, with a specific focus on banning products made with forced labor in China‘s Xinjiang region, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Tuesday. The U.S. and some human rights groups accuse Beijing of genocide against ethnic Uyghurs in the predominantly Muslim region, and Mr. Blinken sought to highlight the issue as U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials began implementing a law prohibiting imports made by forced labor into the United States. President Biden signed the “Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act” into law in December after it passed through Congress with overwhelming bipartisan support
President Joe Biden on Tuesday took selfies with toddlers getting their first covid shot and comforted a crying little boy named Joseph when he and Jill visited a vaccine center in Washington D.C.
The first couple's visit came as nearly all Americans can now get vaccinated after the FDA and CDC approved shots for those six months and above.

MSNBC’s Katy Tur didn’t even try to conceal her surprise and consternation at the fact that Israel will now be heading into yet another election.
For the record, that will be the 5th election in 3 years. And you thought the never-ending American election cycle was bad.
During a segment on “MSNBC Reports,” Tur spoke to NBC News foreign correspondent Raf Sanchez, who helped explain what was going on in the turbulent Israeli political scene.“The new election could—emphasis on could—send Benjamin Netanyahu back to the prime minister’s office,” Tur began the segment, clearly exasperated by the whole situation. “Raf, Raf, Raf, Raf,” she said to her guest, “how could this possibly be?
Jerusalem—Israel’s outgoing coalition government will fast-track a bill this week to dissolve parliament, setting up the country for its fifth elections in three years, a Cabinet minister said Tuesday.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett announced on Monday that he would disband his alliance of eight ideologically diverse parties, a year after taking office, and send the country to the polls. A series of defections from his Yamina party had stripped the coalition of its majority in Israel’s parliament, known as the Knesset. Bennett cited the coalition’s failure earlier this month to extend a law that grants West Bank settlers special legal status as a main impetus for new elections.
Those brief conversations with reporters on Rehoboth Beach in Delaware are getting a little weird. The president and Jill are having a vacation at their beach house with other family members. Usually, Biden ignores reporters and the questions they shout to him but today he stopped during a walk on the beach and began to answer some questions.
Biden was asked about the very real possibility of a recession. She said that a majority of economists now believe the United States is headed into a recession after last quarter’s negative growth.

CNN had its smallest audience in 22 years on Friday among the demographic most coveted by advertisers as the network continued its ongoing struggle to attract viewers. CNN averaged only 56,000 viewers between ages 25-54 on June 17. The last time CNN had a smaller turnout among the critical category was July 10, 2000.
Friday was also CNN’s smallest weekday audience among total viewers since June 2014, as the network settled for only 283,000 average viewers. By comparison, Fox News averaged 1.4 million total viewers and 209,000 in the key demo. It was Fox News' largest advantage over CNN since August 6, 2015. The dismal turnout capped a miserable three-day stretch for CNN,
Discussing black crime in America isn’t easy. For decades, the FBI has collected all kinds of race and crime data from state police, so we have the information. But due to a ton of negative black disparities showing up in the data, the mainstream media pursues a policy of silence on the issue, turning it as a result into a taboo topic.
But as progressives say: “silence is violence.” Like any policy area, when you refuse full and frank discussion about crime, bad policies get implemented and good people get hurt. Take as an example the reckless driving-equivalent of the “Ferguson Effect” Tucker Carlson recently revealed.
This week Congressman Troy Nehls will introduce the “Stop Child Abuse Act,” seeking to rescind the Executive order signed by President Biden on June 15, which prohibits individual state governments from banning the use of gender transition therapies in minor children and removes the states’ right to govern independently.

President Joe Biden ridiculed oil company CEOs on Tuesday for criticizing his energy policies as gas prices hit record highs in the United States.
In a letter to the president on Tuesday, Chevron CEO Mike Wirth criticized Biden and his administration for being more willing to “criticize, and at times vilify, our industry.” “These actions are not beneficial to meeting the challenges we face and are not what the American people deserve,” Wirth wrote.
When asked to respond to the letter, Biden mocked oil CEOs for criticizing him after he said he was considering using his emergency war powers to increase gas production.
“I didn’t know they’d get their feelings hurt that quickly,” Biden said,
Kroger and Harris Teeter bent the knee after a whiny complaint on Twitter.
The two popular grocery store chains were asked by a woman with barely more than 4,000 followers on Twitter why they were selling pro-America can koozies featuring guns and celebrating freedom, and were asked to “please remove them.” (Tweet) Instead of telling the woman to get lost and stop complaining about such a minor situation, Harris Teeter and its parent company Kroger bent the knee and immediately vowed to stop stealing the koozies!

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said Tuesday that the ongoing January 6 committee hearings were designed by Democrats to distract from the “disastrous result of their policies.”
Johnson, who is seeking a third term as senator, said that the hearings were a “partisan exercise”, and pointed to high inflation, President Biden’s border policies, and rising crime as consequences of Democratic policies.
“It’s obvious that the Democrats set this thing up to be a political exercise, obviously designed to distract the public from the major problems occurring because of their agenda, their ideology.
Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw lambasted the law enforcement response to the mass shooting in Uvalde as he testified before a Texas Senate special committee on Tuesday, while releasing to the public the most comprehensive official timeline to date.
The timeline, based on security footage, phone recordings and police body cameras, places Pete Arredondo, the chief of police for Uvalde school districts, at the scene at 11:36 a.m. on May 24, just three minutes after the teenage gunman walked unimpeded into the school building.
McCraw squarely blamed Arredondo, who was the on-scene commander during the shooting and leading the response, for the delay
The door wasn’t even locked. Responding officers waited for a key to a classroom that couldn’t be locked from the inside during the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, the state’s public safety director testified Tuesday. In the end, 19 children and two teachers were killed. Armed police reportedly waited nearly an hour outside the classroom that the gunman was in during the May 24 massacre.
“I have great reasons to believe (the door) was never secured,” Col. Steve McCraw said at a state Senate hearing Tuesday. “How about trying the door and seeing if it’s locked?” The criticism was one of many made by McCraw, who testified
New York—Kellogg is splitting into three different companies in a major shakeup for the 116-year-old company. The first company will include Kellogg's (K) North America cereal unit, which includes Raisin Bran and Rice Krispies, its snacking unit will become a second company, including Cheez-Its and Pringles. And, lastly, a new "pure-play plant-based foods company" will be anchored by its MorningStar Farms brand. New names for the spin-offs will be announced later, and the spinoffs are expected to be completed by the end of 2023. The board of directors has approved the plans and headquarters for the three units will remain unchanged.
At some point President Biden’s delay in building any significant new sections of border wall will cross the line into being an illegal obstruction, congressional Republicans warned in a letter Tuesday to the White House demanding answers about the stall.
Mr. Biden halted construction more than 500 days ago, making good on his campaign vow that “not another foot” would be built on his watch. But his administration insists he hasn’t actually blocked the money Congress approved but is instead figuring out how it should be spent. That explanation no longer holds water, said Republicans on the House Budget Committee, led by Rep. Jason Smith of Missouri.

Chicago - Chicago police officers will no longer be allowed to chase people on foot simply because they run away or give chase over minor offenses, the department said Tuesday, more than a year after two foot pursuits ended with officers fatally shooting a 13-year-old boy and 22-year-old man. (Snip) Under the policy, officers may give chase if they believe a person is committing or about to commit a felony, a Class A misdemeanor such as domestic battery, or a serious traffic offense such as drunken driving and street racing that could risk injuring others. Officers won't be allowed to chase people on foot if they suspect them of minor
Nearly three-fourths of National Institutes of Health (NIH) grantees fail to properly report their researchers’ ties to foreign countries and companies, according to an investigation by the Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General (HHS-IG).
“More than two-thirds of grantees failed to meet one or more requirements for investigators’ disclosure of all foreign financial interests and support. These problems often involved requirements to disclose non-publicly traded equity interests from foreign entities and to disclose in-kind resources, professional affiliations, or participation in a foreign ‘talents’ program,” reads the HHS-IG report, which was made public earlier in June.

Law enforcement had a large enough presence at the scene of the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas, last month to have stopped the gunman within three minutes, but the on-scene commander “chose to put the lives of officers before the lives of children,” the Texas public safety chief said Tuesday.
“The only thing stopping a hallway of dedicated officers from entering room 111 and 112 was the on-scene commander,” Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw testified before a state Senate committee.
He said that the police response to the shooting, which left 19 students and two teachers dead, was an “abject failure.”

A New Jersey forest fire has spread to at least 12,000 acres — and is threatening to be the Garden State’s biggest wildfire in 15 years, according to officials.
The fire was discovered early Sunday afternoon in a remote section of Wharton State Forest, according to the New Jersey Forest Fire Service.
By Monday night, it had spread to 12,000 acres (19 square miles) and was threatening “18 structures” as well as causing road closures in Washington, Shamong, Hammonton and Mullica townships, the service said.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but officials “have ruled out likely natural causes,” Environmental Protection Commissioner Shawn Latourette said

Over the Juneteenth weekend, 9 people were shot in Harlem. Among them was Darius Lee, an aspiring basketball player from the mostly black neighborhood, who was the only one killed in the mass shooting. The wounded included two women and six men in a shooting that began over the filming of a rap video.
Over 40 shots were fired.
Elsewhere in the Big Apple, a gunman ran up to three men in Queens and opened fire with a rifle, wounding two and killing one. Dwayne Whyte was arrested in the shooting.
"When is enough going to be enough? When we gonna put these guns down?" a community liaison asked after the Harlem attack.
Claim: Putin’s war against Ukraine is the biggest driver of inflation, the White House said Monday. (Tweet) Verdict: False.
Inflation was high and rising long before the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased 0.6 percent in May of 2021 after rising 0.8 percent in April., On an annual basis, prices were up 5.0 percent, the largest 12-month increase since a 5.4-percent increase for the period ending August 2008.
Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, was 3.8 percent over the previous 12 months, the largest 12-month increase since the period ending June 1992.

They've had two conservative parties, sometimes at once, and voters there have always rejected the crazy left, which in their case, is a Castro-grade revolutionary crazy grade of left, with Bill Ayers-types on steroids.

Cole Summers: American Pioneer

Social media is mostly garbage. (Snip) But every once in a while, between the hashtags and the hysteria, a jewel presents itself.
Like Cole Summers.
I never met Cole Summers in real life. But I was completely floored by what I learned about him—and from him—online.
At first, to be honest, I worried this kid was just too good to be true.
Here’s what I mean: When he was six, Cole—whose family owns a farm in Beryl, Utah—started taking on the repair and maintenance for his family’s vehicles. Both of his parents are disabled: his father is a wheelchair-bound veteran; his mother is partially blind.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down a Maine education policy that made K-12 schools with religious instruction ineligible for taxpayer-backed tuition aid.
The 6-3 decision broke along ideological lines, with the court’s six conservatives ruling that the state’s so-called sectarian exclusion violated constitutional religious protections. Maine law gives school-age children the right to free public education. But because many rural districts lack a public high school, a workaround was devised that allows these students to attend nearby qualifying private schools with public assistance.
Unless you are brainwashed, you regard the statements “men give birth” and “defund the police” as absurd.
Why, then, do leftists (as opposed to liberals and conservatives) say these things and even believe them?
I think there are two — related — explanations.
One is that the Left seeks to tear down every normative institution. If men give birth, “man” and “woman” no longer mean anything. “Men give birth” means the end of the male-female distinction, the most basic distinction in the human race. Racial distinctions pale in comparison. So do national distinctions.
Marxists support the obliteration of the male-female distinction because the only distinction that matters to Marxists is that of class.
Twitter’s board of directors on Tuesday unanimously recommended that its shareholders approve the company’s proposed $44 billion sale to Tesla CEO Elon Musk, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The board unanimously “determined that the merger agreement is advisable and the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are fair to, advisable and in the best interests of Twitter and its stockholders,” according to the filing.
The deal has at times fallen into uncertainty since Musk first offered $54.20 per share to take the company private in April. Shares rose roughly 3 percent to $38.98 before the opening bell Tuesday.

While there is growing speculation that federal agents and Capitol Police were involved in instigating acts of violence during the Jan. 6, 2021 protests and recording responses for the purposes of entrapment, evidence now proves that “plainclothes” members of a special Electronic Surveillance Unit (ESU) were embedded among the protesters for the purposes of conducting video surveillance. Evidence also points to a day of security deficiencies and police provocation for the purpose of entrapment.

Peggy Noonan and I have recently confirmed that our political disagreements absolutely will not stand in the way of our long friendship. This is timely, as in her latest pronouncement upon the ever-shifting and more desperate perspective of civilized Trump-hate (defined here as making some effort at analysis, no matter how nonsensical, and not just primal scream therapy like most Trump-haters) in the Wall Street Journal on June 16, she presented the most delusional version of the Trump-cancellation argument that has yet been made by any otherwise serious person still capable of rational comment on the subject.

The global monkeypox outbreak is 'likely' to get 10 times bigger, according to the scientists behind the models that plunged the UK into Covid lockdowns. London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine scientists, who estimated how monkeypox will continue to spread, warned it is 'highly likely' that another 10,000 cases of the tropical virus would be spotted worldwide. Their model, calculated in May when just 728 cases were confirmed or suspected globally, suggests the outbreak will largely affect the men who have sex with men community, while a surge in cases among other groups is 'unlikely'. The outbreak, which was
Consider the date of July 14, 2000, and what the world was like on that day: Bill and Hillary Clinton were still in the White House, doing heaven-knows-what. The Twin Towers in lower Manhattan were still standing tall, with very few Americans having ever heard of Al Qaeda. And innovations such as smartphones, Uber, and iPods were only available in our imaginations.
Overall, it was a relatively non-descript, summer day almost twenty-two years ago, but July 14, 2000, is indeed memorable this reason: It is the last time CNN experienced ratings as pathetic as they did last Friday.
According to Mediate:

President Trump recently lost an appeal and must testify in a civil investigation by New York State attorney general Letitia James. Her action was taken based on testimony and evidence given by former Trump attorney Michael Cohen. This is the same Michael Cohen who pleaded guilty to eight counts, including criminal tax evasion and campaign finance violations.
While we may not be privy to the inner workings of our justice departments in the United States, it seems rather convenient that the government could take evidence from Michael Cohen regarding his claims of the improprieties of President Trump's financial records after Cohen pleaded guilty to eight counts.

That’s the transcript of what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on the House floor before all but five of her fellow Democrats voted for the “Lower Food and Fuel Costs Act” last week.
Pelosi’s garbled syntax aside, the only thing this bill would lower is the public’s trust in anything Democrats say these days. Despite its title, this bill would expand government but do nothing – repeat, nothing – to lower prices today, tomorrow, or any time in the future.
