    Cambodia PM says he has nominated Donald Trump for Nobel Peace Prize

    (Reuters) — Cambodia’s prime minister said on Thursday he has nominated US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, lauding his “extraordinary statesmanship” in halting a border conflict between Cambodia and Thailand.

    Hun Manet made the announcement in a Facebook post late on Thursday, accompanied by a letter he said had been sent to the Norwegian Nobel Committee hailing Trump’s intervention as an example of his “exceptional achievements in de-escalating tensions in some of the world’s most volatile regions”.

    “This timely intervention, which averted a potentially devastating conflict, was vital in preventing a great loss of lives and paved the way towards the restoration of peace,” the Cambodian leader wrote in the letter.

    Pakistan said in June that it would recommend Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in helping to resolve a conflict with India, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last month he had nominated Trump for the award.

    Give the tariffs levied against India a couple of months and Russia might capitulate. Then it will be Volodymyr’s turn to pen a nomination letter.

    India tariffs in place, and India responds by backing out of its purchases of Russian crude. Not all of it is being absorbed elsewhere.

    • Prompt supplies of Russia’s Urals crude are being offered to Chinese buyers at cheaper prices, garnering interest from state and private refiners.
    • Chinese imports of Urals are not typically part of processors’ regular appetite due to geographical distance and high freight costs, but China is seen as a viable alternative market.
    • Jianan Sun, an analyst with Energy Aspects, said China will unlikely be able to absorb all Russian barrels backed out from India, as Urals is not a base-load grade for Chinese state-owned refineries.

    Wait until DJT47 raises tariffs on China for buying Russian oil.

    NGO run by Gavin Newoms’ wife gets millions in taxpayer dollars which is then sent to her ‘for profit’ organization – giving the Newsom family a benefit of ~$1.5 million from nonprofit salary + ~$1.7 million from film sales/licenses. The Representation Project (Jennifer Newsom’s nonprofit organization) receives millions of dollars from the State of California. That project has paid nearly $2 million to Jennifer Newsoms’ for profit since 2021, including a $150,000 annual contracting fee since 2018. Many are now accusing Newsom of funnelling taxpayer dollars through his wife’s NGO to her ‘for profit’ organization and are calling for a federal investigation.
    Jennifer Newsom Is a filmmaker and advocate for gender equity. She founded The Representation Project in 2011 and serves as its CEO. She also owns Girls Club Entertainment, LLC, her for-profit film production company.The Representation Project is A 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on “gender justice” through films and icenses documentaries Jennifer Newsom is paid about $150,000 from the nonprofit in salary.
    Girls Club Entertainment, Inc is Jennifer Newsom’s for-profit company, which produces the films licensed by her nonprofit ‘The Representation Project’ which is funded by the state. Meaning taxpayer dollars fund Jennifer’s non-profit, which pays Jennifer a salary then contracts Jennifer’s for profit to produce all the films that have been licenced by her non-profit.
    IRS Form 990 filings show The Representation Project has paid Girls Club Entertainment $1.64 million since 2012 for film production and licensing rights. These payments are disclosed as related-party transactions because Jennifer Siebel Newsom controls both entities. The Representation Project has earned about $1.48 million in licensing fees from public schools (taxpayer dollars) nationwide since 2012 California schools have paid an average of $270 per license for films and curricula, used in gender equity and mental health programs. Over 5,000 schools have licensed materials, with critics arguing this creates a conflict, as the Newsom’s are allegedly benefiting from state funds.California school districts use portions of their budgets to license films and curricula from the nonprofit. This has generated ~$1.48 million in revenue for the nonprofit from public schools.The nonprofit pays Jennifer Newsom’s for-profit company for producing and licensing the films.This includes ~$150,000 annual fees since 2018, totaling $1.64 million. These are reported as “program service expenses” in IRS 990 forms. In addition to the for-profit payments, she receives a salary from the nonprofit and profits from Girls Club Total family benefit: ~$1.5 million from nonprofit salary + ~$1.7 million from film sales/licenses since 2012.

    Boston-area sheriff indicted by the DOJ for extortion.

    It seems unethical and is clearly sleazy but I’m not sure it’s illegal.

    It is alleged that Tompkins pressured Individual A for stock, reminding Individual A that Tompkins had helped Company A in its Boston licensing efforts. It is alleged that Individual A believed and feared that Tompkins would use his official position as Sheriff to jeopardize Company A’s partnership with the SCSD and thus imperil both the dispensary license for Company A, as well as the timing of the IPO. In fact, in October 2020, Company A asked Tompkins for an updated partnership letter to submit to the CCC for its yearly renewal of Company A’s Boston license. Within one month of signing the October 2020 SCSD partnership letter with Company A, and after increased pressure on Individual A, Tompkins allegedly obtained a pre-IPO interest in Company A stock after Individual A relented to Tompkins’s demands.
    …
    In May 2022, Company A stock decreased in value such that Tompkins’s equity interest in Company A stock was worth several thousand dollars less than the $50,000 he originally invested. However, Tompkins demanded a refund of $50,000 and, despite the decrease in the value of Tompkins’s investment, Individual A agreed to Tompkins’s demands for full repayment of $50,000.

    Subsequently, from approximately May 2022 to July 2023, Individual A refunded Tompkins $50,000 investment by issuing Tompkins five checks. Allegedly in accordance with Tompkins’s wishes, Individual A wrote memos on certain checks that read “loan repayment” and “[company] expense” to disguise the nature of some of the payments…

    Maybe it’s because Massachusetts has zero Republicans in the House of Representatives.

    The owner of Trump Burgers in Houston is an illegal alien.

    KHOU reporting

    Roland Bianchi, owner of Trump Burger came to the US on a temporary work visa in 2019. That expired in February ‘24.

    The normal procedure is to apply for another Visa well ahead of expiration. If granted the person must visit an embassy outside the US (Leave by the date of the current visa) and return with the new one. It is not clear if Bianchi applied and was denied or if he just overstayed intentionally. Bottom line, he has no legal ability to be in the United States.
