The lawyer, Joseph Tacopina, spoke on the heels of a report by WNBC that federal, state and local law enforcement agencies are preparing security arrangements for the possibility that Trump will be indicted as early as next week.
“Will follow normal procedures if it gets to that point,” Tacopina told CNBC when asked what Trump would do if that possibility becomes reality.

The upcoming Superman movie to be directed by James Gunn is set to restore the “American way” portion of Superman’s ages-old motto after DC Comics removed the patriotic segment back in 2021.
As Breitbart News reported in Oct. of 2021, DC Comics dumped the Man of Steel’s “America” replacing it with “a better tomorrow” by rewriting the original slogan — “truth, justice, and the American way” — to read “truth, justice, and a better tomorrow.” “Superman’s new motto of ‘Truth, Justice and a Better Tomorrow’ will better reflect the global storylines that we are telling across DC and to honor the character’s incredible legacy of over 80

There’s a guy whose name is John Robinson Walker, he gets $3 million from a Chinese-based company and proceeds to wire it out to a bunch of people named Biden, one of whom is Hunter Biden, another one is a company that belongs to the president’s brother James Biden, and another amount of money to Beau Biden’s widow, Hallie.

There were more that 150,000 catalytic converter thefts in 2022, a 2% increase from the previous year. The number one model targeted for these thefts in the US is the Toyota Prius. There’s a reason for that.
The critical piece of automobile tech is used to filter out harmful byproducts from your car’s exhaust. They use precious metals like platinum, palladium and rhodium to accomplish this. Those metals can sell for hundreds to thousands of dollars per ounce.
A catalytic converter can be sold for anywhere from $25 to $300 for an average vehicle, Carfax says, and up to $1,400 for hybrid vehicles.

Last year it was leaked that Latoya Raveneau, an executive producer at Disney, had bragged that her team had implemented a “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” and was regularly “adding queerness” to children’s programming. And audiences were not happy about it. A Rasmussen Reports survey taken after the leak revealed that Disney’s boasts of promoting LGBTQ messaging to children were not well-received by the American public. The poll showed that merely 28% of adult Americans felt that focusing on “inclusion” and “diversity” enhances children’s entertainment. Conversely, 45% of respondents felt that it would have a negative impact, while only 18% believed that it would not have any impact.

Donald Trump and his family failed to report nearly $300,000-worth of gifts they received from foreign governments between 2017 and 2020, including a "larger-than-life-sized painting" of the former president that may currently reside at his Mar-a-Lago resort, according to a new report by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee and supporting documents obtained by CNN.
Over 100 gifts from foreign officials, including Chinese President Xi Jinping and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, with a total value of over a quarter of a million dollars, were never disclosed to the State Department by Trump and members of his immediate family as required by law, the report says.

Shares of First Republic were under pressure Friday despite the beaten-down regional bank receiving aid from other financial institutions.
As of 11:12 a.m. ET, the stock was down about 24% and was the worst performer in the SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF (KRE) — which dropped 5%.
