As more than $50 billion makes its way to state and local governments to compensate for the opioid epidemic, people with high hopes for the money are already fighting over a little-known bureaucratic arm of the process: state councils that wield immense power over how the cash is spent.
In 14 states, these councils have the ultimate say on the money, which comes from companies that made, distributed, or sold opioid painkillers, including Purdue Pharma, Johnson & Johnson, and Walmart. In 24 other states, plus Washington, D.C., the councils establish budget priorities and make recommendations. Those will affect whether opioid settlement funds go, for example, to improve addiction treatment programs and recovery houses or for more narcotics detectives and prisons.
KFF Health News, along with Johns Hopkins University and Shatterproof, a national nonprofit focused on the addiction crisis, gathered and analyzed data on council members in all states to create the first database of its kind.
The data shows that councils are as unique as states are from one another. They vary in size, power, and the amount of funds they oversee. Members run the gamut from doctors, researchers, and county health directors to law enforcement officers, town managers, and business owners, as well as people in recovery and parents who’ve lost children to addiction.
“The overdose crisis is incredibly complex, and it demands more than just money,” said Rollie Martinson, a policy associate with the nonprofit Community Education Group, which is tracking settlement spending across Appalachia. “We also need the right people in charge of that money.”
That’s the $50 billion question: Are the right people steering the decisions? Already, criticism of the councils has been rife, with stakeholders pointing out shortcomings, from overrepresentation to underrepresentation and many issues in between. For example:
Council membership doesn’t always align with the states’ hardest-hit populations — by race or geography.A heavy presence of specific professional groups — treatment providers, health care executives, or law enforcement officials, for example — might mean money gets directed to those particular interests at the expense of others. Few seats are reserved for people who’ve dealt with a substance use disorder themselves or supported a family member with one.
Admittedly, no one can design a perfect council. There’s no agreement on what that would even look like. But when a pile of money this big is at stake, everyone wants in on the action.
More than $3 billion of opioid settlement funds has already landed in government coffers, with installments to come through 2038. The money is meant as restitution for the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have died from drug overdoses in recent decades.
But what restitution looks like depends on whom you ask. People running syringe service programs might suggest spending money immediately on the overdose reversal medication naloxone, while hospital officials might advocate for longer-term investments to increase staffing and treatment beds.
“People naturally want money to go toward their own field or interest,” said Kristen Pendergrass, vice president of state policy at Shatterproof.
And that can trigger hand-wringing.
In many parts of the country, for instance, people who support syringe service programs or similar interventions worry that councils with high numbers of police officers and sheriffs will instead direct large portions of the money to buy squad cars and bulletproof vests. And vice versa.
In most states, though, law enforcement and criminal justice officials make up fewer than one-fifth of council members. In Alaska and Pennsylvania, for instance, they’re not represented at all.
Outliers exist, of course. Tennessee’s 15-member council has two sheriffs, one current and one former district attorney general, a criminal court judge, and a special agent from the state Bureau of Investigation. But like many other councils, it hasn’t awarded funds to specific groups yet, so it’s too soon to tell how the council makeup will influence those decisions.
Pendergrass and Johns Hopkins researcher Sara Whaley, who together compiled the list of council members, say criticism of councils drawing too heavily from one field, geographic area or race is not just a matter of political correctness, but of practicality.
“Having diverse representation in the room is going to make sure there is a balance on how the funds are spent,” Pendergrass said.
To this end, Courtney Gary-Allen, organizing director for the Maine Recovery Advocacy Project, and her colleagues chose early on to ensure their state’s 15-member council included people who support what’s known as harm reduction, a politically controversial strategy that aims to minimize the risks of using drugs. Ultimately, this push led to the appointment of six candidates, including Gary-Allen, to the panel. Most have personal experience with addiction.
“I feel very strongly that if these six folks weren’t on the council, harm reduction wouldn’t get a single dollar,” she said.
Others are starting to focus on potential lost opportunities.
In New Jersey, Elizabeth Burke Beaty, who is in recovery from substance use disorder, has noticed that most members of her state’s council represent urban enclaves near New York City and Philadelphia. She worries they’ll direct money to their home bases and exclude rural counties, which have the highest rates of overdose deaths and unique barriers to recovery, such as a lack of doctors to treat addiction and transportation to faraway clinics.
Natalie Hamilton, a spokesperson for New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat who appointed the members, said the council represents “a wide geographic region,” including seven of the state’s 21 counties.
But only two of those represented — Burlington and Hunterdon counties — are considered rural by the state’s Office of Rural Health needs assessment. The state’s hardest-hit rural counties lack a seat at the table.
Now that most of the council seats nationwide are filled, worries about racial equity are growing.
Louisiana, where nearly a third of the population is Black, has no Black council members. In Ohio, where Black residents are dying of overdoses at the highest rates, only one of the 29 council members is Black.
“There’s this perception that this money is not for people who look like me,” said Philip Rutherford, who is chief operating officer of Faces & Voices of Recovery and is Black. His group organizes people in recovery to advocate for addiction issues.
Research shows Black Americans have the fastest-rising overdose death rates and face the most barriers to gold-standard treatments.
In several states, residents have lamented the lack of council members with firsthand knowledge of addiction who can direct settlement dollars based on personal experiences with the treatment and criminal justice systems. Instead, councils are saturated with treatment providers and healthcare organizations.
And this, too, raises eyebrows.
“Service providers are going to have a monetary interest,” said Tracie M. Gardner, who leads policy advocacy at the New York-based Legal Action Center. Although most are good people running good treatment programs, they have an inherent conflict with the goal of making people well and stable, she said.
“That is work to put treatment programs out of business,” Gardner said. “We must never forget the business model. It was there for HIV, it was there for covid, and it’s there for the overdose epidemic.”
Councils in South Carolina and New York have already seen some controversy in this vein — when organizations associated with members pursued or were awarded funding. It’s not a particularly surprising occurrence since the members are chosen for their prominent work in the field.
Both states’ councils have robust conflict-of-interest policies, requiring members to disclose professional and financial connections. New York also has a law precluding council members from using their position for financial gain, and South Carolina uses a rubric to objectively score applications.
That these situations cause alarm regardless shows how much hope and desperation is tied up in this money — and the decisions over who controls it.
“This is the biggest infusion of funding into the addiction treatment field in at least 50 years,” said Gardner. “It’s money coming into a starved system.”
Database methodology The list of council members’ names used to build the database was compiled by Johns Hopkins University’s Sara Whaley and Henry Larweh and Shatterproof’s Kristen Pendergrass and Eesha Kulkarni. All council members, even those without voting power, were listed. Although many states have councils to address the opioid crisis generally, the database focused specifically on councils overseeing the opioid settlement funds. A council’s scope of power was classified as “decision-making” if it directly controls allocations. “Advisory” means the council provides recommendations to another body, which makes final funding decisions. The data is current as of June 9, 2023. KFF Health News’ Aneri Pattani, Colleen DeGuzman, and Megan Kalata analyzed the data to determine which categories council members represent based on the following rules: Each council member can be counted in only one category. There is no duplication. People should be given the most descriptive categorization possible. For example, attorneys general are “elected officials,” but it is more specific to say they are “law enforcement and criminal justice” officials. A “government representative” is typically a government employee who is not elected and does not fit into any other descriptive category — for example, a non-elected county manager. People who provide direct services to patients or clients, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, and social workers, are classified as “medical and social service providers.” People with more administrative roles are typically classified as “public” or “private health and human services” based on their organization’s public or private affiliation.“Lived or shared experience” refers to someone who has personally experienced a substance use disorder, has a family member with one, or has lost a loved one to the disease. Because people’s addiction experiences are not always public, only individuals explicitly appointed because of their firsthand connection or to fill a seat reserved for someone with that experience were categorized as such.

Finding Balance and Providing Stability Amidst Back-to-School Chaos
As summer’s balmy evenings make way for autumn’s crisp mornings, households nationwide brace themselves for the inevitable challenges accompanying the back-to-school season. Transitioning from summer freedom to a regimented school year schedule is a common source of stress for both parents and students alike. From a kindergartener’s first-day jitters to the apprehensions of a teen transitioning to high school, preparation becomes the key to a smooth transition.
Establishing a fixed routine emerges as a pivotal tool in assuaging this annual stressor. When a structure is introduced, the uncertainty of new beginnings is tempered with comforting predictability. Not only does routine expedite daily chores, but it also affords families more quality time, whether it’s for recreation, relaxation, or meaningful conversations.
Taking the concept from theory to practice can be a collaborative effort involving the entire family. Drafting a visual chart of the routine and placing it in a communal space like the fridge ensures everyone is on the same page. Encouraging children to contribute to its design and content fosters a sense of ownership and enthusiasm.
While core tasks such as meal preparation, outfit planning, and a designated homework hour are routine staples, introducing elements like a relaxation window or bedtime ritual can transform the mundane into something enjoyable. Moreover, reserving a set timeframe for leisure activities, be it watching television or indulging in digital games, is a way of ensuring a balanced daily schedule.
One of the most underrated components of this routine is communication. Carving out time to converse with children about their daily experiences, triumphs, and concerns fosters an environment of trust and understanding. For those requiring additional motivation, integrating a reward system can be beneficial.
Maintaining an active interest in one’s child’s academic journey is paramount. Regularly scheduled check-ins about academic progress or any challenges faced can reinforce a child’s understanding of their parent’s investment in their educational journey. Collaborating with teachers, if necessary, can further enhance a child’s chances of navigating the school year successfully.
While the back-to-school season comes with its fair share of uncertainties, the antidote lies in fostering a routine that offers both structure and flexibility. With an established routine in place, children are better equipped to face the academic year head-on, bolstered by the assurance of their family’s unwavering support.

On 28 July 2023, compatriots from the speaker’s bureau of the Colonel James Wood II Chapter of the Virginia Society Sons of the American Revolution gave presentations to two senior living facilities on the Declaration of Independence. Chapter President Chip Daniel, along with compatriots Dale Corey, Richard Tyler and dual member Bill Schwetke (Culpeper Minutemen) told the residents of Hidden Springs and Greenfield Senior Living Facilities how the declaration came about and it’s impact around the world. The Colonel James Wood II Chapter is available to provide presentations to all age groups on various subjects that meet the goals and objectives of the Sons of the American Revolution. This includes the colonial era and the support of veterans.
The French and Indian War had created a significant debt to Great Britain. King George III and the British Parliament decided the American colonies should pay the crown for the defense of the colonies during the previous war.
In 1764, they passed the Sugar Act, placing a tax on sugar and molasses imported into the colonies. This was a huge disruption to the Boston and New England economies because they used sugar and molasses to make rum, a main export in their trade with other countries.
In March of 1765, the Stamp Act was passed. This placed a tax on printed materials in the colonies which had to be paid in British Sterling. This included every printed paper, playing cards, dice and newspapers. This along with the Sugar Act taxed the Americans without their consent.
The Townsend Act was passed in 1767, placing a tax on glass, lead, paint, paper and tea imported from Great Britain. The colonies were not allowed representation in Parliament and felt it was unconstitutional for Parliament to place taxes and laws without representation. It was more about the principle than the tax. The taxation acts resulted in riots and colonists boycotted British goods. By 1773, the British had repealed most of the Townshend Act.
On 19 May 1773, a law was passed, taxing tea and creating the British East India Company monopoly on the import of tea into the colonies. As an act of protest, in December 1773, colonists posing as Indians dumped 342 chests of tea into the Boston Harbor which became known as the Boston Tea Party. The British wanted to punish the Massachusetts Colony. This resulted in the Coercive Acts of 1774, which closed Boston Harbor until restitution was made for the destroyed tea. It gave sweeping powers to the British military governor, General Thomas Gage. This act forbade town meetings without approval, protecting British officials from being charged with capital offenses in Massachusetts, demanding accommodations for troops in unoccupied houses and buildings and forced colonists to pay for British soldiers expenses.
In March 1770, tensions had come to a head when an apprentice wigmaker and a British soldier got into a disagreement. A crowd of 200 colonists surrounded seven British soldiers. The Americans began taunting and throwing things at the soldiers who then fired into the crowd. Five Americans were killed and three injured in the Boston Massacre. In April 1775, General Gage sent a force from Boston to Lexington to capture Sam Adams and John Hancock and then to Concord to seize gunpowder and arms. This led to the Battle of Lexington, where seven colonists were killed and then the Battle of Concord, where at the North Bridge, the “Shot Heard Round the World” was fired. This was the beginning of the American War of Independence.
At this time, the colonies were considered in a state of rebellion, with most wanting to remain British subjects after reconciliation from the King and Parliament. In October 1775, the British attacked and burned Falmouth, Massachusetts (now Portland, Maine). George Washington called the this attack as “exceeding in barbarity and cruelty every hostile act practiced among civilized nations.”
On 1 January 1776, as a retaliation for Norfolk’s refusal to supply provisions for British ships, British Royal Governor of Virginia, Lord Dunmore ordered the fleet to bombard the town and burn the town. After these attacks, it became apparent to the colonies they must secure their rights as an independent nation. In 1776, a Continental Congress was formed to determine the next course of action from the colonies.
On 7 June, Virginia Richard Henry Lee presented to Congress a motion “that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States”. The motion was seconded by John Adams of Massachusetts. On 11 June, a committee consisting of John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Robert R. Livingston and Roger Sherman was chosen to prepare a statement justifying the right to independence. Jefferson as asked to prepare the document to which small changes were made by Adams and Franklin.
The declaration was presented to the Congress and after additional changes were made, it was endorsed by 12 colonies on 2 July with New York abstaining. On this day, Congress resolved that “these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be free and independent States.” With revisions and deletions, it was officially adopted on 4 July 1776. On that day, Congress President John Hancock and secretary Charles Thomson signed the document with the remaining members signing in August of 1776.
The Declaration of Independence was influential around the world. Hungarian nationalist, Lajos Kossuth declared “the Declaration was nothing less than the noblest, happiest page in mankind’s history.” This document gave credence to the belief in the purpose of government is to secure the people’s rights and that government gets its power from “the consent of the governed”. If that consent is betrayed, then “it is the right of the people to alter or abolish” their government. The idea the people could reject a monarchy and replace it with a republican government was a revolutionary change.

On 28 July 2023, compatriots from the speaker’s bureau of the Colonel James Wood II Chapter of the Virginia Society Sons of the American Revolution gave presentations to two senior living facilities on the Declaration of Independence. Chapter President Chip Daniel, along with compatriots Dale Corey, Richard Tyler and dual member Bill Schwetke (Culpeper Minutemen) told the residents of Hidden Springs and Greenfield Senior Living Facilities how the declaration came about and it’s impact around the world. The Colonel James Wood II Chapter is available to provide presentations to all age groups on various subjects that meet the goals and objectives of the Sons of the American Revolution. This includes the colonial era and the support of veterans.
The French and Indian War had created a significant debt to Great Britain. King George III and the British Parliament decided the American colonies should pay the crown for the defense of the colonies during the previous war.
In 1764, they passed the Sugar Act, placing a tax on sugar and molasses imported into the colonies. This was a huge disruption to the Boston and New England economies because they used sugar and molasses to make rum, a main export in their trade with other countries.
In March of 1765, the Stamp Act was passed. This placed a tax on printed materials in the colonies which had to be paid in British Sterling. This included every printed paper, playing cards, dice and newspapers. This along with the Sugar Act taxed the Americans without their consent.
The Townsend Act was passed in 1767, placing a tax on glass, lead, paint, paper and tea imported from Great Britain. The colonies were not allowed representation in Parliament and felt it was unconstitutional for Parliament to place taxes and laws without representation. It was more about the principle than the tax. The taxation acts resulted in riots and colonists boycotted British goods. By 1773, the British had repealed most of the Townshend Act.
On 19 May 1773, a law was passed, taxing tea and creating the British East India Company monopoly on the import of tea into the colonies. As an act of protest, in December 1773, colonists posing as Indians dumped 342 chests of tea into the Boston Harbor which became known as the Boston Tea Party. The British wanted to punish the Massachusetts Colony. This resulted in the Coercive Acts of 1774, which closed Boston Harbor until restitution was made for the destroyed tea. It gave sweeping powers to the British military governor, General Thomas Gage. This act forbade town meetings without approval, protecting British officials from being charged with capital offenses in Massachusetts, demanding accommodations for troops in unoccupied houses and buildings and forced colonists to pay for British soldiers expenses.
In March 1770, tensions had come to a head when an apprentice wigmaker and a British soldier got into a disagreement. A crowd of 200 colonists surrounded seven British soldiers. The Americans began taunting and throwing things at the soldiers who then fired into the crowd. Five Americans were killed and three injured in the Boston Massacre. In April 1775, General Gage sent a force from Boston to Lexington to capture Sam Adams and John Hancock and then to Concord to seize gunpowder and arms. This led to the Battle of Lexington, where seven colonists were killed and then the Battle of Concord, where at the North Bridge, the “Shot Heard Round the World” was fired. This was the beginning of the American War of Independence.
At this time, the colonies were considered in a state of rebellion, with most wanting to remain British subjects after reconciliation from the King and Parliament. In October 1775, the British attacked and burned Falmouth, Massachusetts (now Portland, Maine). George Washington called the this attack as “exceeding in barbarity and cruelty every hostile act practiced among civilized nations.”
On 1 January 1776, as a retaliation for Norfolk’s refusal to supply provisions for British ships, British Royal Governor of Virginia, Lord Dunmore ordered the fleet to bombard the town and burn the town. After these attacks, it became apparent to the colonies they must secure their rights as an independent nation. In 1776, a Continental Congress was formed to determine the next course of action from the colonies.
On 7 June, Virginia Richard Henry Lee presented to Congress a motion “that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States”. The motion was seconded by John Adams of Massachusetts. On 11 June, a committee consisting of John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Robert R. Livingston and Roger Sherman was chosen to prepare a statement justifying the right to independence. Jefferson as asked to prepare the document to which small changes were made by Adams and Franklin.
The declaration was presented to the Congress and after additional changes were made, it was endorsed by 12 colonies on 2 July with New York abstaining. On this day, Congress resolved that “these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be free and independent States.” With revisions and deletions, it was officially adopted on 4 July 1776. On that day, Congress President John Hancock and secretary Charles Thomson signed the document with the remaining members signing in August of 1776.
The Declaration of Independence was influential around the world. Hungarian nationalist, Lajos Kossuth declared “the Declaration was nothing less than the noblest, happiest page in mankind’s history.” This document gave credence to the belief in the purpose of government is to secure the people’s rights and that government gets its power from “the consent of the governed”. If that consent is betrayed, then “it is the right of the people to alter or abolish” their government. The idea the people could reject a monarchy and replace it with a republican government was a revolutionary change.

Sen. Warner takes charge with a suite of comprehensive bills and initiatives.
From the bustling chambers of the Senate to the local racetracks of Virginia, Senator Warner has had a jam-packed week. Whether addressing national security, advocating for the responsible use of AI, or introducing major tech policies, the Senator’s actions have underscored his commitment to the people of Virginia and the nation at large.
1. Bolstering Defense:
This week saw Sen. Warner front and center in the passage of the annual defense bill. The Senate-approved version promises a 5.2% pay raise for military members and a whopping $16.7 billion for military construction. It emphasizes various pivotal matters like authorizing the Navy to procure Virginia-class submarines and a comprehensive review of the Navy’s efforts on mental health. Notably, the bill also includes the Warner-authored SECURE IT Act, designed to fortify U.S. election infrastructure.
After the Senate’s passage, Warner stated, “I’m pleased to see the Senate move forward on a defense bill that provides…resources needed to preserve our national security.” A final version, reconciled between Senate and House variants, awaits to be presented to the President.
2. Tech Policy Enhancement:
In his commitment to creating a safer online space, Senator Warner introduced the DETOUR Act, targeting manipulative design tricks known as “dark patterns,” which deceive users into sharing personal data. In his words, “Dark patterns…make user experience worse, and data less secure. The DETOUR Act will end this practice…”
Simultaneously, the ACCESS Act was introduced, aiming to regulate social media companies, enabling users to shift their data across platforms effortlessly. This, Warner believes, will foster innovation and provide consumers more power.
3. Revving Up the Engines in Virginia:
Local racetracks stand to gain clarity on their tax obligations, thanks to Sen. Warner’s new legislation. It aspires to cement the current tax code definition, ensuring reduced tax outlays for these venues. Warner highlighted its significance, stating it’s a “simple fix to our tax code that will offer speedways the freedom to make long-term investments…”

Don't be fooled by the furry exterior: Some dogs aren't all what they seem. In fact, one isn't even a dog at all.
It's a conundrum making the rounds online after a Japanese man wearing a hyper-realistic Border Collie outfit took a stroll outdoors and posted a YouTube video of the excursion, garnering more than 4.6 million views in the 10 days it's been online.
The footage was filmed last year for an interview with a German TV station according to the video description, and the dog/man, identified only as Toco, released it to the public this month after getting permission to post it.
The video under the account name "I want to be an animal" shows Toco getting pets around town while walking on four legs in the costume.
In a video posted last year, Toco said he had "a vague dream of becoming an animal" ever since he was a child and that he chose to become a collie because it's his favorite breed and is larger in size, comparable to a human.
This childhood dream prompted him to spend around $14,000 to have specialist costume company Zeppet create the outfit in 2022. The Japanese company is known for creating models and suits for films and commercials, but this was a custom, personal order, according to its website.
Zeppet's site also lists personal comments Toco made during and after the 40-day building process.
"I suppose creating a four-legged model for a two-legged human is extremely tricky, as our skeletal structure is quite different from canines," Toco said upon completion of the project. "I was therefore naturally worried about how it would turn out. After various trials and errors of the studio, however, the final result was brilliant and very satisfactory."
But despite the long-lived goal and its online virality, Toco still hopes to remain anonymous behind his animal persona.
In an interview with the Mirror, he said, "I rarely tell my friends because I am afraid they will think I am weird. My friends and family seemed very surprised to learn I became an animal."
And comments on the recent YouTube video seem to echo his fears. While some users were curious and supportive, others were concerned, with one user saying "I've worked with animals for 15 years now and this is the creepiest animal related thing I've ever seen."

Record high temperatures in many parts of the United States have contributed to major stress on plants, animals and humans. The extreme heat, coupled with a lack of rainfall, has caused problems with Arizona's iconic saguaro cacti.
SEE MORE: Extreme heat expected to be costly, especially in Texas
The Desert Botanical Garden in Arizona said that the condition of its cacti have been affected because of the lack of precipitation and record high sustained heat conditions.
Temperatures in Phoenix have held above 100 degrees Fahrenheit for weeks. On Monday night temperatures calmed down, hovering in the 80s after much needed rain visited the area.
Experts say the high heat puts excessive stress on the cacti, despite their ability to survive in desert climates. While they might experience some respite during the night in the cooler desert air, extreme heat during the day can tend to suffocate the cacti, experts say.
The saguaro cactus is native to the Sonoran Desert and are considered giants among cactus species.
The area's Tohono O’odham nation considers the iconic cactus not as plants, but as respected members of their group, the National Parks Service writes.
They can grow at altitudes of up to 4,000 feet above sea level. "Saguaro forests" are seen in more abundance around the Ajo Mountain Drive area of Arizona.
But experts say that continued hikes in heat over time could cause new generations of the cactus giants not to be able to grow at all.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Nearly 100,000 Evergy customers were affected by powerful storms in the Kansas City area that rolled through Sunday night into Monday morning, the power company shared Monday.
At its peak, 80,000 customers were without power.
KSHB 41 Weather’s Wes Peery reports winds of up to 60-80 mph swept the area causing trees to snap, power lines to come down and even a steeple to come off of a church.
WOW!
Riverside reported an 80mph wind gust from storms this evening. Overall widespread 60-80mph wind gusts occurred in the KC Metro and south.#mowx #Kswx #Kcwx pic.twitter.com/FjOIsh34wb — Wes Peery (@WesWeather) July 31, 2023
Evergy reports more than 1300 line workers, tree trimmers and support employees have been at work restoring power following the storms, including crews who were brought in from surrounding areas that were unaffected.
Around 10,000 customers remain powerless as of 6 p.m. Monday.
“Crews will continue working until all customers are restored, which is expected by late Tuesday evening,” Evergy shared in a statement.

Yellow Corp., one of the largest freight companies in the U.S., said it was closing operations and filing for bankruptcy on Monday.

One of the largest trucking companies in the country shut down over the weekend, leaving tens of thousands of people without jobs at the start of the work week.
The Teamsters Union said Monday that Yellow Corp. informed them the 99-year-old company was shuttering operations and filing for bankruptcy, despite receiving a $700 million pandemic loan just three years ago.
Scripps News reached out to Yellow to confirm but did not hear back. No bankruptcy filings have gone live yet.
Yellow employs 30,000 people nationwide including 22,000 union workers. But one worker in Nashville says he arrived at work without hearing anything about the status of his job.
"They haven't told us they're out of business yet, they haven't told us what they're doing, filing bankruptcy or whatever," said Danny Smallridge. "I'm in pretty good shape myself and I know I'll be taken care of but a lot of my union brothers and sisters — they're not in the same boat as I am and that's heartbreaking. Shame on the company."
Another worker went viral over the weekend after a video showed his emotional reaction to learning he'd leave Yellow with no pension despite spending 30 years on the job.
In a statement, Teamsters president Sean O'Brien called the news "unfortunate but not surprising." He added Yellow "has historically proven that it could not manage itself despite billions of dollars in worker concessions and hundreds of millions in bailout funding from the federal government. This is a sad day for workers and the American freight industry,”

Yellow is the nation's third largest carrier of small freight, earning $5 billion in revenue a year, according to its website, serving major customers like Walmart and Home Depot.
But after a series of failed cost-cutting measures to stay afloat, Yellow saw customers leave in droves. According to the Associated Press, the company is now $1.5 billion in debt with $729.2 million owed to the federal government.
This, despite the government handing Yellow a $700 million pandemic loan just three years ago.
Mike Regan, the co-founder of TranzAct technologies, which helps companies manage their supply chains, says Yellow used most of that money to round out pension plans and extend the life of its equipment.
But in June, a congressional investigation found the Treasury and Defense departments "made missteps" in giving Yellow the loan, with auditors calling the handout "reactive at best" and saying it "may not be the best course of action to protect taxpayer funds."
Regan says Yellow's problems arose decades ago after the company acquired rival companies and put them under one roof.
"When they bought Roadway, it was like having the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears come together to form a football team. You had basically people that competed against each other, were enemies, then you brought them together and said 'we're going to play nice,'" he said. "If you don't have your culture synchronized, I don't care what your strategy is, it's not going to work because you have disparate parties."

He added that problems worsened when Yellow tried to reduce its debt and eliminate financial redundancies by shutttering 24 of its 300 truck terminals.
Regan says that considering some of the locations were as valuable as $80 million, it could've helped the company with some of its money troubles. But Teamsters, which was angered by the course of action, said the move would lead to unnecessary job cuts.
Regan says Yellow's latest setback came from the threat of a union strike over health care benefits when the company missed a $50 million welfare and pension fund payment. Teamsters said they'd strike if Yellow didn't make the payment.
"That basically was the death knell for Yellow because if you're a shipper, one of the things that you don't want to do is have freight trapped in a system when the carrier's not operating," said Regan.
The shutdown could mean shipping delays for consumer because many shippers relied solely on Yellow's vast terminal network to move is products.
"In the LTL (Less-than-truckload) industry, your capacity is driven by your terminal network, the amount of doors that you have available to clear freight," said Regan. "The reason this is a big deal for shippers is because some shippers had Yellow [as their] one carrier. Well, they may take three or four carriers now to replace that Yellow volume because of the network."
Regan says more carriers sharing doors could mean greater delays, leading to price increases to make up for the gap.

It’s Barbie’s world – and after the first week of the new Barbie movie – it’s clear we’re all just living in it.
In its opening weekend, director Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” smashed box office records with a $155 million debut.
The star-studded cast features leads Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling — along with an ensemble cast including America Ferrera, Issa Rae and Will Ferrell — whose performances are being praised by critics for transforming a film about a beloved children’s doll franchise into a thought-provoking experience about gender norms, double standards and identity.
The diverse film pays homage to Mattel’s efforts to ensure there’s a Barbie and Ken doll that represents different body types, nationalities, looks, and especially careers throughout history, both fans and critics of the franchise say.

But Barbie was not always as diverse as it may seem today. Upon its creation in 1959, the doll promoted a sense of feminism that was largely career-driven and encouraged self-expression. Despite changing with the times, Mattel has been criticized for its Barbies lacking diversity in terms of skin color, size, and not having dolls who represent “everyday” life. Whether or not Barbie fully reflects America’s diversity, many say her successes — and shortcomings — aren’t seen as important to the children who play with her. But many adults, especially parents, feel both the film and toy franchise is the representation they wished for as kids.
Chelsea Reynolds, a feminist media scholar and communications professor at Cal State Fullerton, acknowledged that Barbie has become more diverse in the last 40 years in terms of race, clothing, careers and body size. Today, there are dolls of 35 different skin tones, 97 different hairstyles, and nine different body types. There are Asian Barbies, Black Barbies in wheelchairs and Kens with vitiligo. Earlier this year, Mattel designed its first Barbie doll with Down syndrome.
However, Reynolds said, “I don’t think we see super plus-sized Barbie, I don’t think we see super dark-skinned Barbies specifically.”
Barbara Millicent Roberts was created by Mattel co-founder Ruth Handler, who noticed her daughter Barbara — for whom “Barbie” is named — enjoyed changing the clothes of her own paper dolls. So Handler created a more realistic adult doll with real clothes and more “human-like” functions.
Different versions of Barbie have evolved in nearly every cultural and political era, Reynolds said. In the 50s, she was an emancipating figure for the traditional stay-at-home “housewife,” and in the ’80s, she represented disco and punk. The first Black Barbie, Christie, was invented in 1968. Becky, the first doll in a wheelchair, was released in 1997.
Reynolds said that the toy “presented this new way of envisioning womanhood. Barbie wasn’t necessarily a mom. Barbie wasn’t necessarily only in a caretaking role. She was like this autonomous, independent woman who could be pretty much anything.”
Through the decades, the company’s many collections try to spotlight diversity — including “Dolls of the World,” featuring Barbies in cultural and traditional dress, and the ongoing “Global Sheroes” line honoring female icons from history. A 1981 “Oriental Barbie” was later ill-received.
In 2016, when dolls weren’t selling well, Mattel rolled out Barbies with different body types, hair textures and disabilities. But when the wheelchairs for Barbies with disabilities couldn’t fit through the Barbie DreamHouse, the doll was discontinued — undermining the company’s efforts for inclusive branding.
Concerned about the impact a lack of representation can have on a child’s self-esteem and empowerment, both Mattel and other toy companies have since created more “everyday”-looking dolls — including Healthy Roots and Jilly Bing — with features including smaller-shaped eyes and big curly hair.
And for first-generation, immigrant children, Reynolds said that those efforts, however imperfect, really matter. Barbie represents a “cultural notion of Americana that is important to many communities of color,” she said. And in the film, diverse Hollywood stars are cast as dolls that “purposely represent this new ‘Americana.’”
“This version of Barbie that Greta Gerwig presented was dismantling so many of the gender norms that I think we associate with dolls, and specifically with Barbie dolls, as girls’ toys,” Reynolds said. “I think that the way that patriarchy was challenged by Barbie in the movie is emblematic of what she has always done — giving women or girls the ability to imagine themselves in a society that is unlike the one that we live in.”
At a Barbie-themed storytime hosted by the Anaheim Public Library, there was no shortage of pink — the color the film most visually embraces. Parents at the event all agreed that it’s important for little girls and boys to have the mindset embodied in Mattel’s vast doll empire: “You Can Be Anything.”

Diana Fuentes, from Brea, said that children now have a wider selection of dolls on the shelves that look “just like them.” She praised how her 6-year-old daughter can play with Barbies that represent both her physical attributes and career dreams.
“I’m Hispanic, and if I see a doll that’s Hispanic, if I’m a child then I’m like, ‘Oh, that could be me one day,’” Fuentes said. “They put themselves in their shoes, so when (Barbie) doesn’t look like or resemble them, it’s harder for them to see themselves being that in the future.”
Sarah Martinez, from Buena Park, agreed that it’s important for kids to see toys that represent people they interact with daily; in their school, neighborhood and community. She remembered playing with Barbie in the ’90s with childhood friends.
“Our world didn’t have that,” she said, noting that she usually played with a brunette doll that reflected her hair type, but that was all.
Fourteen-year-old Ava Rodriguez said she watched the new movie with her family, and it reminded her how nice it is to have a doll that “looks like you, who you can relate with.” Playing with her Barbie when she was younger always made her feel like she could be anyone she wanted to be.
“When (my sister Gabby and I) were playing with Barbie, you were able to do anything, be in your own world, not have anyone tell you what to do,” Rodriguez said.
But some parents raised the question of whether representation in the Barbie doll franchise – much like many global companies’ efforts to diversify their brands – starts to feel inauthentic.
After the film’s release, Jason Munoz from Woodland Hills visited the new “World of Barbie” pop-up experience in Santa Monica with his family. He was more skeptical, calling out the franchise for leaning “too much” into ethnic stereotypes. He said that his daughters were looking to find a Barbie that reflects their Mexican heritage.
“When I see something that’s (branded) a Mexican Barbie, it has to have a Mexican dress, and that’s not an everyday Mexican person I see,” Munoz said. “They’re just like you and me… just normal people that live everyday lives.“
Reynolds, the feminist media scholar, was uncertain about whether the film’s casting was truly authentic.
“It’s hard to tell whether this movie is authentically representing diversity, or whether it’s meeting the industry quotas that have been established over the last few years,” she said. “I don’t know; I’m not mad to see it.”
Actor Issa Rae’s role as the Black female president of Barbieland, the film’s main setting, as well as the casting of one Asian American Ken — played by Simu Liu — and one curvy Barbie, played by Sharon Rooney, can be seen as “tokenizing” since both actors do not play prominent roles in the movie, Reynolds said.
“On the one hand, you can argue that’s representation. On the other hand, you can argue that maybe Greta Gerwig slapped a person into each role that fit the diversity model that Hollywood is looking for these days.”
Still, she said, the movie did a “tremendous job at getting complex topics like feminism and equity issues into the living rooms and homes around America.”
Mia Tustison from Corona won a Riverside County competition award in the spring for her Barbie-themed history project. She built a website that explores different perspectives surrounding Barbie — from inspiring women to be “more than what was expected of them,” to being glorified for her unrealistic body proportions — and its controversy.
The 14-year-old incoming freshman at Santiago High School said that Mattel’s efforts to build a more diverse toy line were mostly driven by sales. She watched the film with her family on opening weekend, wearing the brand’s signature pink.
Tustison highlighted the movie’s feminist-heavy message, but thought that its diversity is more reflected in its ensemble, not the starring roles. Still, she hoped the movie opens people’s eyes to be able to point out and “criticize things that are happening, things that are holding us back as a society.”
“I think (“Barbie” the movie) is not changing culture, with the way we look at diversity. That has already been shifting,” Tustison said. “I think it’s a reflection and commentary on that shift.”

NEW YORK — Troubled trucking company Yellow Corp. is shutting down and headed for a bankruptcy, the Teamsters said Monday.
An official bankruptcy filing is expected any day for Yellow, after years of financial struggles and growing debt. Its expected liquidation would mark a significant shift for the U.S. transportation industry and shippers nationwide.
“Today’s news is unfortunate but not surprising. Yellow has historically proven that it could not manage itself despite billions of dollars in worker concessions and hundreds of millions in bailout funding from the federal government,” Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien said, in an announcement saying the union had been served with legal notice for the bankruptcy filing. “This is a sad day for workers and the American freight industry.”
Yellow did not have a comment when reached by The Associated Press Monday. As of Monday afternoon, no bankruptcy filings from the company could be found on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website.
The company’s collapse arrives just three years after Yellow, formerly known as YRC Worldwide Inc., received $700 million in pandemic-era loans from the federal government. But the company was in financial trouble long before that — with industry analysts pointing to poor management and strategic decisions dating back decades.
Former Yellow customers and shippers will face higher prices as they take their business to competitors, including FedEx or ABF Freight, experts say — noting that Yellow historically offered the cheapest price points in the industry.
Yellow is one of the nation’s largest less-than-truckload carriers. The closure of the 99-year-old Nashville, Tennessee-based company risks a loss of 30,000 jobs.
Safety vests that appeared to belong to former Yellow workers were zip-tied to the fence of a closed YRC Freight terminal in St. Louis, Missouri on Monday. Names and years worked at the company were written on them.
“Ron Fisher 2017-2023 was here,” one vest read.
Reports of Yellow preparing for bankruptcy emerged last week — as the Nashville, Tennessee-based trucker saw customers leave in large numbers, per The Wall Street Journal and FreightWaves. And the company reportedly stopped freight pickups earlier in the week.
Yellow shut down operations on Sunday, according to The Journal, following the layoffs of hundreds of nonunion employees on Friday.
In 2020, under the Trump administration, the Treasury Department granted the company a $700 million pandemic-era loan on national security grounds. Last month, a congressional probe concluded that the Treasury and Defense departments “made missteps” in this decision — and noted that Yellow’s “precarious financial position at the time of the loan, and continued struggles, expose taxpayers to a significant risk of loss.”
Yellow has racked up hefty bills over the years. As of late March, Yellow had an outstanding debt of about $1.5 billion. Of that, $729.2 million was owed to the federal government.

A Cromwell man was arrested on multiple counts Monday after police went to his home last week and allegedly found a person there living in “deplorable and unsanitary conditions” and who had not been moved from a chair “in about two weeks,” police said.
Police said officers from the Cromwell Police Department, who were following up on information received from a medical office that a patient had not shown up for several appointments, went to the home of Steven Donen, 66, of Cromwell, on July 28.
“While checking the welfare of the victim, officers discovered the victim was living in deplorable and unsanitary conditions. It was reported that the victim had not moved from a chair in about two weeks and had not eaten for several days,” police said in a statement late Monday.
The victim was taken to a local hospital for treatment, police said.
Cromwell officers then executed a search warrant of the home, which allegedly “revealed severe hoarding conditions and evidence that Donen was withholding critical care from the victim,” police said.
An arrest warrant was served Monday, charging Donen with cruelty to persons, and second-degree reckless endangerment, police said. Donen is being held in lieu of $50,000 bail and is scheduled to appear at Middletown Superior Court on Tuesday, August 1, police said.
The Connecticut Department of Social Services, Cromwell Department of Senior Services and the Cromwell Health Department were all notified of this case, police said.
Anyone who suspects someone is a victim of elder maltreatment, can contact Protective Services for the Elderly program at the Connecticut Department of Social Services toll free at 1-888-385-4225.

By Michelle R. Smith and Ali Swenson | Associated Press
Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. rose to prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic because of his strident opposition to vaccines. Yet, he insists he’s not anti-vaccine. He has associated with influential people on the far right – including Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon and Michael Flynn – to raise his profile. Yet, he portrays himself as a true Democrat inheriting the mantle of the Kennedy family.
As he challenges President Joe Biden, the stories he tells on the campaign trail about himself, his life’s work and what he stands for are often the opposite of what his record actually shows.
Though Kennedy’s primary challenge to a sitting president is widely considered a longshot, he’s been sucking up media attention due to his famous name and the possibility that his run could weaken Biden ahead of what is expected to be a close general election in 2024. He’s drawn praise from Republican presidential candidates like Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Meanwhile, Trump supporters, including his longtime ally Roger Stone, have ginned up interest by floating a Trump-Kennedy unity ticket.
Debra Duvall, 62, who lives in Fort Myers, Florida, and said she serves on the Lee County GOP executive committee, described herself as a longtime Trump supporter, but said she’s torn for 2024.
“I’ll take Trump or RFK. Either one,” she said, explaining that she was drawn to both because she believes they can’t be bought.
That kind of support has demonstrated some of the contradictions in Kennedy’s candidacy. He has said he wants to “reclaim” the Democratic Party, while aligning himself with far right figures who have worked to subvert American democracy. He touts his credentials as an environmentalist, yet pushes bitcoin — a cryptocurrency that requires massive amounts of electricity from supercomputers to generate new coins, prompting most environmental advocates to loudly oppose it.
And though he peppers his speeches, podcast appearances and campaign materials with invocations of the Democratic Party legacies of his uncle President John F. Kennedy and his father, Robert F. Kennedy, his relatives have distanced themselves from him and even denounced him.
“He’s trading in on Camelot, celebrity, conspiracy theories and conflict for personal gain and fame,” Jack Schlossberg, President Kennedy’s grandson, said of his cousin in an Instagram video in July. “I’ve listened to him. I know him. I have no idea why anyone thinks he should be president. What I do know is, his candidacy is an embarrassment.”
Kennedy’s recent comments that COVID-19 could have been “ethnically targeted” to spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people — which he denies were antisemitic but concedes he should have worded more carefully — also drew a condemnation from his sister Kerry Kennedy.
The contradictions between what Kennedy says and his track record were nowhere more apparent than when he testified before a congressional committee in July at the invitation of Republican members.
Anti-vaccine activists, some who work for Kennedy’s nonprofit group Children’s Health Defense, sat in the rows behind him, watching as he insisted “I have never been anti-vaxx. I have never told the public to avoid vaccination.”
But that’s not true. Again and again, Kennedy has made his opposition to vaccines clear. In July, Kennedy said in a podcast interview that “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective” and told FOX News that he still believes in the long-ago debunked idea that vaccines can cause autism. In a 2021 podcast he urged people to “resist” CDC guidelines on when kids should get vaccines.
“I see somebody on a hiking trail carrying a little baby and I say to him, better not get them vaccinated,” Kennedy said.
That same year, in a video promoting an anti-vaccine sticker campaign by his nonprofit, Kennedy appeared onscreen next to one sticker that declared “IF YOU’RE NOT AN ANTI-VAXXER YOU AREN’T PAYING ATTENTION.”
A close examination of Kennedy’s campaign finance filings shows that the anti-vaccine movement lies at the heart of his campaign.
Several of his campaign staff and consultants have worked for his anti-vaccine group Children’s Health Defense, including Mary Holland, the group’s president on leave, campaign spokeswoman Stefanie Spear, and Zen Honeycutt, who hosted a show for the group’s TV channel, CHD TV.
Children’s Health Defense currently has a lawsuit pending against a number of news organizations, among them The Associated Press, accusing them of violating antitrust laws by taking action to identify misinformation, including about COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccines.
The campaign paid KFP Consulting, a Texas-based company run by Del Bigtree, head of the anti-vaccine group ICAN, and a leading voice in the movement, more than $13,000 for communications consulting, the AP found. Bigtree appeared to still be working for the campaign last week, when an AP reporter saw him helping facilitate a Kennedy event in New York.
Kennedy also has received substantial support from activists who have spread misinformation about the coronavirus and vaccines, including Steve Kirsch, an entrepreneur who has falsely claimed COVID-19 vaccines kill more people than they save, chiropractors Patrick Flynn and Kevin Stillwagon, and others.
Ty and Charlene Bollinger, who run an anti-vaccine business and who the AP has previously reported have had a financial relationship with Kennedy, gave more than $6,000. The couple, along with Kennedy’s communication consultant Bigtree, were involved in hosting a rally near the Capitol on Jan. 6, and Ty Bollinger has said he was among the people who crowded at the Capitol doors in an attempt to get inside, though he said he did not enter.
The couple is a part of the Children’s Health Defense lawsuit against AP and other media outlets.
American Values 2024, a super PAC supporting Kennedy, is run by close associates to Kennedy who have propped up anti-vaccine ideas — the former head of the New York chapter of Children’s Health Defense John Gilmore is its CEO and Kennedy’s publisher Tony Lyons is its co-chair.
The Kennedy campaign did not return emails seeking comment about a number of questions, including how he can say he is not anti-vaccine given his record and his support from anti-vaccine activists.
Kennedy’s run is also getting plenty of financial support from the right. A super PAC supporting Kennedy’s presidential run, called Heal the Divide PAC, has deep ties to Republicans, F ederal Election Commission records show.
The committee’s address is listed in the care of RTA Strategy, a campaign consulting firm that has been paid for its work to help elect Republicans including Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and the former Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker.
The PAC’s treasurer, who works for RTA Strategy, is Jason Boles, a past donor to Trump and many other Republicans who includes “MAGA” and “AmericaFirst” in his bio on the platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
Kennedy denied knowing Boles or the Heal the Divide PAC when it came up at the congressional hearing, saying, “I’ve never heard of Mr. Boles, and I’ve never heard of that super PAC.”
But video available online shows he was a guest speaker at a Heal the Divide event just two days earlier. The video features a “Heal the Divide 2024” logo with clips of him speaking at length about plans to back the U.S. dollar with bitcoin and precious metals.
Kennedy says that as president, he would fight for government honesty and transparency, heal the political divide, reverse economic decline, end war and preserve civil liberties. He has made freedom of speech a major part of his platform, arguing that the government’s communication with social media companies unfairly censors protected speech.
Kennedy’s press office did not respond to several messages asking about his support from the far right.
It also did not respond to questions about whether his stance on bitcoin was at odds with being an environmentalist.
Kennedy lists the environment as one of six top priorities on his campaign website and has spent many years speaking against pollution and climate change as an environmental lawyer. Yet he has made supporting the energy-intensive cryptocurrency bitcoin a key part of his platform.
Bitcoin mining, the process of generating new coins, uses massive amounts of electricity — more than some entire countries use, said Scott Faber of the Environmental Working Group.
That’s because it works by tasking a network of supercomputers with solving complex mathematical puzzles — even as some other cryptocurrencies have adopted far more energy efficient mining methods.
“No one who claims to be an environmentalist could support a digital asset that needlessly consumes more electricity than all Americans use to power the lights in our homes,” Faber said. “In fact, bitcoin produces more climate pollution than any other digital asset.”
Despite the environmental downsides of bitcoin, some Democrats, including elected officials, have advocated for the currency.
Kennedy, for his part, told a crowd at Bitcoin 2023 that environmentalists like himself “will continue to pressure you to improve.” Online, he has promoted the argument that demand for bitcoin will boost investment in new renewable energy projects.
Regardless, his financial disclosure documents show he has already personally invested between $100,001 and $250,000 in bitcoin, and he promised at Bitcoin 2023 that he wouldn’t let the environmental argument hinder the currency’s use.
“As president, I will make sure that your right to hold and use bitcoin is inviolable,” he said.
During the past several years, Kennedy has cultivated his ties to the far right. He has appeared on Infowars, the channel run by Sandy Hook conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. He has granted interviews to Trump ally Steve Bannon and Tucker Carlson. After he headlined a stop on the ReAwaken America Tour, the Christian nationalist road show put together by former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn, he was photographed backstage with Flynn, Charlene Bollinger and Trump ally Roger Stone.
Those appearances have led to goodwill on the right, and he has found enthusiastic support among a segment of Trump’s base, with some suggesting him as a potential vice presidential pick.
At a July 1 rally in the tiny town of Pickens, South Carolina, Adrian Palashevsky – a small businessman who described himself as more of a “libertarian” than a Republican – posited a unity ticket, with Kennedy as his top pick for Trump’s VP.
“I think they would get along just fine,” he said. “They’re both anti-establishment, and that’s why they’re under so much attack.”
DeSantis, one of Trump’s Republican challengers, has also indulged in praise for the fringe candidate, saying in a recent interview that while he wouldn’t make Kennedy vice president, he would consider appointing him to one of the federal agencies that regulates vaccine safety and protects public health.
“If you’re president, you know, sic him on the FDA if he’d be willing to serve, or sic him on CDC,” DeSantis said.
Not everyone is buying the Kennedy mystique.

Pence would ban abortions when pregnancies aren’t viable. His GOP rivals won’t say if they agree At the annual meeting of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials in New York a few weeks ago, Kennedy leaned heavily on his family legacy, mentioning his father’s alliance with labor leader Cesar Chavez and his uncle’s work in Latin American countries.
But in his nearly 20-minute speech, he didn’t lay out any plan or policy proposals of his own, or talk about specific issues facing the Latino community. He spent most of his time telling a story about getting arrested with the Mexican American actor Edward Olmos in 2001, an attempt at relating with the community that disappointed both Republicans and Democrats in the audience.
Mario Ceballos, president of a PAC representing LGBTQ+ Latinos, said Kennedy’s speech — and the candidate’s conspiracy theory beliefs — saddened him.
“When I was living in Mexico, Kennedy was an American president that my whole family respected,” Ceballos said. “And what he is presenting are esoteric, dangerous options that are actually going to hurt the same people that his father and uncle wanted to help.”

Politically connected real estate developer Robert Matthews was sentenced to more than five years in prison Monday for tens of millions of dollars of frauds in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Florida.
The 65-year old Matthews, now a resident of West Palm Beach, was charged with the crimes of conspiracy, money laundering, and tax evasion for real estate swindles that the government argued were responsible for losses to banks and investors of more than $30 million.
Matthews, who’s real estate deals were attracting law enforcement attention in Connecticut more than three decades ago, faced 15 years in prison under the advisory sentencing guidelines used by federal courts. His lawyer argued that a two-year sentence would be appropriate, an unusual acknowledgment by the defense to the scale of the financial damage Matthews inflicted.
At the end of a four-hour sentencing hearing in Bridgeport, the judge imposed a sentence of a total of 65 months.
Matthews previously had pleaded guilty to a variety of frauds associated with resort hotel projects on Nantucket and in West Palm Beach, and a luxury home in Washington Depot in Litchfield County.
He admitted financing the Florida and Connecticut deals with a scheme that raised money under a state department visa program allowing foreign nationals legal entry to the U.S. by investing at least $500,000 in a U.S. development projects that employ 10 or more people.
In Matthews case, he collected $500,000 each from 61 foreign nationals, ostensibly to redevelop a run down Palm Beach resort, the Palm House Hotel, that Matthews said would rival former President Donald Trump’s nearby Mar-a-Lago resort.
Prosecutors say in court filings that the foreign investors, many of whom were trying to reach the U.S. to educate children, lost more than $30 million. Matthews, they said, spent money on a 151-foot yacht called the Alibi and charity balls for the Palm Beach glitterati, while paying off loans, forestalling foreclosures on other properties and underwriting another crooked real estate deal in Washington Depot, in Litchfield County.
Matthews has been a longtime player in political and real estate circles in Connecticut and a player whose work has been followed for just as long by federal law enforcement.
He was interviewed by FBI agents as long ago as the 1990s about a $25,000 cash payment to former Waterbury Mayor Joseph Santopietro. Matthews, who was trying to develop downtown property at the time, was not charged. Santopietro was ultimately accused, convicted and sentenced for taking payoffs from bankers and other real estate developers.
Mathews surfaced repeatedly during the administration of former Gov. John G. Rowland. He and partner Wayne Pratt, then a well-known Woodbury antiques dealer, agreed to rent – and later, buy for an amount far above the market rate- a Washington, D.C. condominium Rowland was trying to unload. Matthews later complained that he got taken to the cleaners when Rowland changed him $5,000 for the appliances.
Matthews and Pratt were in the news not long after when they offered for sale an original copy of the Bill of Rights they had acquired. The deal fell apart when it was determined the document had been filched from the North Carolina archives by a union soldier during the Civil War.
Under the sentence guidelines used in federal court, the 65-year old Matthews could have faced from 12 to 15 years in prison. He previously pleaded guilty to a dozen fraud, conspiracy, money laundering and tax crimes.
The offenses date to 2007, when Matthews is accused of cheating a banking lender of millions of dollars ostensibly borrowed to develop a resort on Nantucket. As was the case with the Palm House Hotel between 2012 and 2018, Matthews is accused of spending much of the money on himself. Prosecutors said Matthews later uses some of the Palm Beach visa money in what was a Washington Depot bank fraud in 2014.
“While running these various scams, the defendant evaded at least $2,750,000 in tax, penalties and interest based on his failure to pay taxes in 2005 and 2007,” the prosecution said in a court filing. “Using shell companies and bank accounts in the names of other people, the defendant put real property, personal property, and cash assets beyond the reach of the Internal Revenue Service.”
The Palm House Hotel was Matthews’ most audacious project. In the prospectus provided to foreign investors, he described himself as rich and famous, and he is shown in posed photographs with Trump, as well as former President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary.
Matthews boasted in the Palm House Hotel promotional material of having a “World Renown Advisory Board,” with Trump and the Clinton’s as members. In fact, neither Donald Trump nor the Clintons were on the board, the government said.

By REBECCA BOONE (Associated Press)
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho mother Lori Vallow Daybell has been sentenced to life in prison without parole Monday in the murders of her two youngest children and a woman she saw as a romantic rival in a case that included bizarre claims that her son and daughter were zombies and that she was a goddess tasked with ushering in an apocalypse.
Vallow Daybell, 50, was found guilty in May of killing her two youngest children, 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow and 16-year-old Tylee Ryan, as well as conspiring to kill Tammy Daybell, her fifth husband’s previous wife. Vallow Daybell will serve three life sentences one after the other, the judge said.
The husband, Chad Daybell, is awaiting trial on the same murder charges. Vallow Daybell also faces two other cases in Arizona — one on a charge of conspiring with her brother to kill her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, and one of conspiring to kill her niece’s ex-husband. Charles Vallow was shot and killed in 2019, but her niece’s ex survived an attempt later that year. Vallow Daybell has not yet entered a plea on the Arizona charges.
At the Fremont County Courthouse in St. Anthony, Idaho, Judge Steven W. Boyce said the search for the missing children, the discovery of their bodies and the evidence photos shown in court left law enforcement and jurors traumatized, and he would never be able to get images of the slain children out of his head.
A parent killing their own children “is the most shocking thing really that I can imagine,” Boyce said.
Vallow Daybell justified the murders by “going down a bizarre religious rabbit hole, and clearly you are still down there,” the judge said.
“I don’t think to this day you have any remorse for the effort and heartache you caused,” he said.
Boyce heard testimony from several representatives of the victims, including Vallow Daybell’s only surviving son, Colby Ryan.
“Tylee will never have the opportunity to become a mother, wife or have the career she was destined to have. JJ will never be able to grow and spread his light with the world the way he did,” Ryan wrote in a statement read by prosecuting attorney Rob Wood. “My siblings and father deserve so much more than this. I want them to be remembered for who they were, not just a spectacle.”
JJ’s grandmother Kay Woodcock, who first raised the alarm about the missing children in 2019, told the judge that it has been 1,536 days since she was last able to hug and kiss her grandson.
JJ was a preemie and had autism, and his biological parents weren’t able to care for him so he was adopted by Woodcock’s brother Charles and Lori Vallow.
Vallow Daybell appeared stoic through most of the testimony, but wiped her eyes when Woodcock talked about how confident she had been that Vallow Daybell would be a good mom.
“I knew she would be 1,000% involved in his care,” Woodcock said.
The Woodcocks frequently visited JJ, cooking and playing together and patting his back as he fell asleep at night. Now they have only memories and “immeasurable grief,” Woodcock said.
“Lori is a monster that has not taken any responsibility or shown an ounce of remorse for her vile actions,” she said.
The murder scheme and Tammy Daybell’s death left a deep rift in her family, Tammy’s sister Samantha Gwilliam told the court.
“Why? Why plan something so heinous? You are not exalted beings, and your behavior makes you ineligible to be one,” Gwilliam said, referring to a religious belief that Vallow Daybell purportedly incorporated into her claims. “Because of the choices you made, my family lost a beloved mother, sister and daughter.”
Tammy Daybell’s mother was fighting cancer, and spent the last months of her life watching the murder trial, Gwilliam said. “I miss my sister every day. I will grieve her, and the loss of my mother, every single day of my life,” Gwilliam said.
Boyce also heard from Vallow Daybell before handing down the sentence. She quoted Bible verses about how people should not judge each other.
“I mourn with all of you who mourn my children and Tammy,” Vallow Daybell said, crying and calling Tammy Daybell her “eternal friend.”
“Jesus Christ knows that no one was murdered in this case,” she said. “Accidental deaths happen. Suicides happen. Fatal side effects from medication happen.”
She also claimed that she regularly is visited by the spirits of the three victims, and that the children’s spirits had told her to “stop worrying” and that she “didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Because of these communications, I know for a fact that my children are happy and busy in the spirit world,” Vallow Daybell said. “Because of my communications with my friend Tammy Daybell I know that she is also very happy and extremely busy.”
Wood pointed to the two Arizona cases as well as the three murders in six weeks in Idaho.
“A defendant who is willing to murder her own children is willing to murder anyone,” Wood said. “Society can only be protected from this defendant by a sentence of life in prison without parole.”
Vallow Daybell was committed multiple times for treatment to make her mentally competent for the court proceedings. But Wood said there is no evidence that her crimes were impacted by her “alleged mental illness,” which includes a diagnosis of a delusional disorder featuring bizarre content and hyper-religiosity, as well as a personality disorder with narcissistic features, according to a doctor’s report provided to the court.
“The evidence is overwhelming that she did know right from wrong,” Wood said, noting testimony from several people who said she lied to them about the deaths.
In July 2019, Vallow Daybell’s brother, Alex Cox, shot and killed her estranged husband, Charles Vallow, in a suburban Phoenix home. Cox told police he acted in self-defense. He was never charged and later died of natural causes.
Vallow Daybell was already in a relationship with Chad Daybell, a self-published writer of doomsday-focused fiction loosely based on Mormon teachings. She moved to Idaho with her kids and brother to be closer to him.
The children were last seen alive in September 2019. A few weeks later Tammy Daybell was killed. Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow married just two weeks after Tammy’s death in November 2019.
The childrens’ bodies were found buried in Chad Daybell’s yard the following summer.
Defense attorney Jim Archibald argued during the trial that there was no evidence tying Vallow Daybell to the killings, but plenty showing she was a loving, protective mother whose life took a sharp turn when she met Chad Daybell and fell for his “weird” apocalyptic religious claims. He suggested that Daybell and Vallow Daybell’s brother, Alex Cox, were responsible for the deaths.
Daybell told her they had been married in several previous lives and she was a “sexual goddess” who was supposed to help him save the world by gathering 144,000 followers so Jesus could return, Archibald said.
Vallow Daybell’s former friend Melanie Gibb testified during the trial that Vallow Daybell believed people in her life had been taken over by evil spirits and turned into “zombies,” including JJ and Tylee.

RAPID CITY, S.D. (KEVN) - Recently, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, released an article about Bear Country U.S.A., saying the company abuses their animals.
According to PETA, supervisors at Bear Country “kidnap bears and wolves from their dens, using fireworks to scare the mothers away.” They go on to say that staff is instructed to harm the animals as well.
”Peta’s investigator uncovered that a supervisor instructed staff to kick bear cubs and pinch their nose as hard as possible if they were to bite. They said that you need to do this abuse in order to go into the enclosures with the bears, but no one needs to go into enclosures with the bears, that’s a choice that Bear Country U.S.A. is making,” said Debbie Metzler, director of captive animal welfare for PETA.
We reached out to Bear Country U.S.A about these allegations, but have not received a response. We will keep you updated as this story progresses.

Gas prices in the Black Hills have risen 15 cents from last week.

RAPID CITY, S.D. (KEVN) - Gas prices are rising, and with the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally officially kicking off on Friday, getting around the Black Hills is going to cost you a little extra.
The recent rise in gas prices is partly due to production cuts in Russia and Saudi Arabia, as well as unexpected refinery outages in Texas and Louisiana because of the heat. Shawn Steward, spokesman with Triple A for South Dakota, says the average price of a gallon of gas rose 15 cents from last week, saying that tourist areas like the Black Hills often have higher prices due to demand.
”Retailers, convenience stores and gas stations get to set the prices that they think the market will bear. They’re obviously anticipating a large influx of people in the area, and that can translate to higher prices,” continued Steward.
Prices could continue to rise through the rest of summer, with a possible decline happening in the fall, according to Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at Gas-Buddy.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A brightly flashing “X” sign has been removed from the San Francisco headquarters of the company formerly known as Twitter just days after it was installed.
The San Francisco Department of Building Inspection said Monday it received 24 complaints about the unpermitted structure over the weekend. Complaints included concerns about its structural safety and illumination.
The Elon Musk-owned company, which has been rebranded as X, had removed the Twitter sign and iconic blue bird logo from the building last week. That work was temporarily paused because the company did not have the necessary permits. For a time, the “er” at the end of “Twitter” remained up due to the abrupt halt of the sign takedown.
The city of San Francisco had opened a complaint and launched an investigation into the giant “X” sign, which was installed Friday on top of the downtown building as Musk continues his rebrand of the social media platform.
The chaotic rebrand of Twitter’s building signage is similar to the haphazard way in which the Twitter platform is being turned into X. While the X logo has replaced Twitter on many parts of the site and app, remnants of Twitter remain.
Representatives for X did not immediately respond to a message for comment Monday.

RAPID CITY, S.D. (KEVN) - Remember to check your bags before checking in at the airport. The TSA just seized two loaded firearms from Rapid City Regional Airport Monday.
The guns were found during a carry-on scan before the flight, at which point law enforcement was notified and seized.
These guns make up the fourth and fifth detected by the TSA at Rapid City Regional Airport this year putting the airport only two behind the number found last year.
The fine for incorrectly storing a firearm can be costly, with the maximum penalty being nearly $15,000.
In addition, those that break TSA guidelines on storing firearms will lose eligibility for TSA’s precheck program, which allows passengers to check their bags ahead of their flight.
Jessica Mayle with the TSA says it’s important to double-check your bags to ensure you meet every firearm requirement.
“So if you do need to travel whether it’s a hunting trip or any legitimate purpose from the other side where you need to have a gun that’s okay you just make sure you know the proper way to do it and you can also go to TSA.gov our website we spell out all of these rules,” said Mayle.
Mayle emphasized that firearms are not allowed in carry-on bags and those looking to travel with them should pack accordingly.

SHANGHAI, July 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Everest Medicines (HKEX 1952.HK, "Everest", or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development, manufacturing and commercialization of innovative medicines and vaccines, announced today the completion of patient enrollment for the China open-label extension (cOLE) of the Phase 3 NefIgArd study. The cOLE study offers an additional 9 months of treatment with Nefecon® to all qualifying patients who have completed the NefIgArd study and will evaluate the efficacy and safety of extended and repeated Nefecon® treatment in patients with IgA Nephropathy (IgAN).
The Phase 3 NefIgArd clinical trial is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter study which assessed the efficacy and safety of Nefecon® versus placebo on a background of optimized RAS inhibitor therapy. The study met its primary endpoint, with Nefecon® demonstrating a highly statistically significant benefit over placebo (p value < 0.0001) in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over the two-year period of 9-months of treatment with Nefecon® or placebo and 15-months of off drug follow-up. Patients in the cOLE study will continue on RAS inhibitor therapy (ACEs and/or ARBs) and be treated for 9 months with Nefecon® at 16mg/day. At the end of the treatment period, change in eGFR and urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPCR) will be evaluated.
"The results of the cOLE study will offer insight into the value of extended and repeated use of Nefecon® and provide very important guidance for doctors in clinical practice," said Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines.
The China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) accepted Everest's New Drug Application (NDA) for Nefecon® for the treatment of IgAN in November 2022. The NMPA has also granted Nefecon® break-through therapy designation and NDA priority review. Nefecon® was the first non-oncology drug to receive break-through therapy designation in China.
About Nefecon®
Nefecon® is a patented oral, delayed release formulation of budesonide, a corticosteroid with potent glucocorticoid activity and weak mineralocorticoid activity that undergoes substantial first pass metabolism. The formulation is designed as a delayed release capsule that is enteric coated so that it remains intact until it releases budesonide to the distal ileum. Each capsule contains coated beads of budesonide that target mucosal B-cells present in the ileum where the disease originates, as per the predominant pathogenesis models.
In June 2019, Everest Medicines entered into an exclusive, royalty-bearing license agreement with Calliditas, which gives Everest Medicines exclusive rights to develop and commercialize Nefecon® in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and Singapore. The agreement was extended in March 2022 to include South Korea as part of Everest Medicine's territories.
Nefecon® was approved in the United States under accelerated approval based on a reduction in proteinuria. Recently announced topline results from the global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 clinical trial NefIgArd demonstrated a statistically significant benefit for Nefecon® over placebo in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a measure of renal function.
About Everest Medicines
Everest Medicines is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing, manufacturing and commercializing transformative pharmaceutical products and vaccines that address critical unmet medical needs for patients in Asian markets. The management team of Everest Medicines has deep expertise and an extensive track record from both leading global pharmaceutical companies and local Chinese pharmaceutical companies in high-quality discovery, clinical development, regulatory affairs, CMC, business development and operations.

Via Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com,
Former Wall Street money manager Ed Dowd is still a skillful number cruncher. Dowd made billions of dollars in profits by being right on the data. He’s right on the data again in his recent wildly popular book “Cause Unknown” The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 and 2022.
Dowd’s book documents the extreme deaths and horrible injuries that are now skyrocketing in number. The huge problems being caused by the CV19 bioweapon/vax are increasing, unstoppable and no longer need to be proven. Dowd says,
“I was not in the room, but at this point, it is a crime because it’s a coverup. I said this in my book in December of 2022. They see the same data that I see, and the data has only gotten worse since then. So, it’s a crime, and it’s a coverup. That’s all you need to know... Forget about the who and the why. It was a bioweapon. It was a mistake. I don’t care at this point. This is a joke. They are killing people. They continue to mandate these jabs at some universities. Some employers still mandate them. The UK is requiring all school children who enter school in the fall to take these shots. This is a joke. This is a crime. This is a coverup, and it’s murder at this point.”
In 2022 alone, Dowd figured 30% of the workforce had been killed, disabled and cannot work or is working chronically ill. Dowd says the death and disability trend for 2023 is way up. Thousands everyday are reporting they are getting sick, and Dowd says the CV19 bioweapon injections are to blame. Supply chains and society are going to grind to a crawl, and Dowd predicts,
“Everything is slowly breaking down. You won’t see this on the news, but you will see this when you need something done, and you will experience this. You are going to be gaslit and told everything is fine. There is not problem here. Don’t look over here. We are going to see glacial Mad Max. Things are going to get harder to do. Businesses and services you take for granted are going to become scarce. I think we are going to see a deflation in financial assets that will start soon enough. We will have inflation in things you need like food, medical care and much other stuff.”
Dowd also points out,
“The Justice Department is protecting the looting operation that’s been going on for 40 plus years. Everybody in Washington D.C. is literally stealing your taxpayer dollars... The Deep State protects the looting operation, and they are all in on it.”
Ivermectin is being used by doctors like Pierre Kory as a base drug for treating CV19 vaxed injured patients and unvaxed patients harmed by so-called “shedding.” Yet, it is still being withheld from a public that desperately needs it. Why is Ivermectin being restricted? Dowd says,
“For them to start pushing Ivermectin would expose them. They are the ones who said what do you mean and called it horse paste. Criminals and people in coverup mode continue as if everything is fine until they are caught. That’s what happened at Enron. Enron was fraud, and the stock was down 50% from the highs... I was skeptical, and I protected my firm from it and got out of it... This is the same thing. Criminals are going to act as if everything is fine, and they are not going to ever admit that Ivermectin is worth anything to anybody because to do so would unravel their whole thread of lies. I take Ivermectin and I have never been vaccinated, and I take a little dose of Ivermectin a couple times a week.”
In closing, Dowd says,
“This is going to become too big to hide. Congress needs to act. These people in the GOP are forming committees on J6 and other things. That’s great and good on you. How about the Covid vaccine committee? Call me up, I’ll share my numbers.”
Dowd also talks about the importance of holding cash, the dollar’s near term and longer term future, gold as a core investment and the wild card of world war.
There is much more in the 49-minute interview.

Authored by Matt Taibbi via Racket News,
The most embarrassing revelation of the “Facebook Files” released by House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan yesterday (described in more detail here) involves the news media:
In one damning email, an unnamed Facebook executive wrote to Mark Zuckerberg and Cheryl Sandberg:
We are facing continued pressure from external stakeholders, including the White House and the press, to remove more Covid-19 vaccine discouraging content.
We see repeatedly in internal communications not only in the email above, but in the Twitter Files, in the exhibits of the Missouri v Biden lawsuit, and even in the Freedom of Information request results beginning to trickle in here at Racket, that the news media has for some time been working in concert with civil society organizations, government, and tech platforms, as part of the censorship apparatus.
In the summer of 2021, the White House and Joe Biden were in the middle of a major factual faceplant. They were not only telling people the Covid-19 vaccine was a sure bet — “You’re not going to get Covid if you have these vaccinations” is how Biden put it — but that those who questioned its efficacy were “killing people.” But the shot didn’t work as advertised. It didn’t prevent contraction or transmission, something Biden himself continued to be wrong about as late as December of that year.
If you go back and give a careful read to corporate media content from that time describing the administration’s war against “disinformation,” you’ll see outlets were themselves not confident the vaccine worked. Take the New York Times effort from July 16th, 2021, “They’re Killing People: Biden Denounces Social Media for Virus Disinformation.” You can see the Times tiptoeing around what they meant, when they used the word “disinformation.” In this and other pieces they used phrases like, “the spread of anti-vaccine misinformation,” “how to track misinformation,” “the prevalence of misinformation,” even “Biden’s forceful statement capped weeks of anger in the White House over the dissemination of vaccine disinformation,” but they repeatedly hesitated to say what the misinformation was.
Any editor will tell you this language is a giveaway. Journalists wrote expansively about “disinformation,” but rarely got into specifics. They knew that they couldn’t state with certainty that the vaccine worked, that there weren’t side effects, etc., yet still denounced people who asked those questions. This is because they agreed with the concept of “malinformation,” i.e. there are things that may be true factually, but which may produce political results considered adverse. “Hestiancy” was one such bugbear. Note the language from the unnamed Facebook executive above, which describes the press lashing out “Covid-19 vaccine discouraging content,” not “disinformation.”
This is total corruption of the news. We’re supposed to be in the business of questioning officials, even if the questions are unpopular. That’s our entire role! If we don’t do that, we serve no purpose, maybe even a negative purpose. Moreover, think of the implications. News outlets wail about “disinformation” when they’re aware the public has tuned them out. When people don’t listen to reporters, it’s usually because they suck. You can do the math, as to why the current crop embraces censorship. A more embarrassing outcome for our business would be hard to imagine.

The US Air Force entered into a contract with Archer Aviation Inc. to purchase six electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft in a deal worth up to $142 million. The agreement is an expansion of Archer's partnership with the Pentagon and represents a move by the world's largest military to pursue new flight technology for the modern battlefield.
Archer first partnered with the Pentagon in 2021 on a series of projects through the Air Force's AFWERX (work project) program to accelerate development in the vertical flight market. The purchase announced on Monday of six Midnight electric air taxis will provide an alternative to helicopters for personnel transport, logistics support, and rescue missions.
"This expansion of Archer's partnership with the DoD represents a significant investment in the future of the country and will help ensure the US maintains its leadership position in aviation," Archer wrote in a press release.
Now, with Archer recently completing the manufacturing of its first Midnight aircraft, the DoD recognizes that with its vertical takeoff and landing capabilities, target payload of approximately 1,000lbs, proprietary electric powertrain system, and low noise profile, Archer's aircraft represents a potential paradigm shift in military aviation and operations. These aircraft hold the promise of enhancing rapid response, agility, and operational effectiveness across a wide range of mission profiles, from personnel transport and logistics support to rescue operations and more. -- the company wrote
"This historic agreement reflects the steadfast commitment by our Armed Forces to embrace the cutting-edge technology our eVTOL aircraft offer," said Adam Goldstein, Archer's Founder and CEO.
Goldstein continued, "It's clear that the development and commercialization of eVTOL technology continues to remain a national priority. We look forward to working closely with the US Department of Defense and the US Air Force to integrate Midnight into their operational fleet with a focus on transport, logistics and rescue operations."
Besides Archer, Joby Aviation has already received orders from the Pentagon for its eVTOLs. Joby expects to deliver its first eVTOL to the USAF in 2024.
Archer shares jumped as much as 12%, and Joby shares were up 4.5%.
While the Pentagon is ramping up eVTOL orders, the Federal Aviation Administration is preparing for nationwide flying taxi operations by 2028.
And if you want to get in on the action, let's say owning an Alef Aeronautics' "Model A" flying car for recreational purposes -- the pilot in command will likely need an airlift or eVTOL rating, which means you'll need a private pilots license to operate in controlled airspace.

Authored by Victor Davis Hanson via American Greatness,
Imagine if Gavin Newsom was currently Vice President amid the final meltdown of the Biden family consortium.
Does anyone doubt that Biden would then either be forced to resign by Democratic politicos (for reasons in addition to his escalating dementia), or would be impeached and perhaps abdicate Nixon-style?
The presence of the now predictable mediocrity of Kamala Harris and the impossibility, given her race and gender, of removing her, for now is about all that keeps a cognitively declining Biden still in office. The Left fears what she could do as president to the Democratic Party; conservatives are terrified of what she could do to the country.
Joe Biden’s bewilderment exempts his embarrassments from accountability in the way that Hunter Biden’s addictions excuse his past serial criminality. But the passes granted to both father and son would be now unsustainable with a viable Vice President in waiting.
Indeed, the Harris problem explains some of current Democratic strategy.
Backroom leaks and growing insider rumors of Biden dementia confirm the portrait of an often befuddled president whom the public by now knows all too well.
The aimless House Democrats’ “how-dare-you-even-consider-an-impeachment inquiry” furor, coupled with their half-hearted efforts, along with the media, to refute the actual charges of corruption of the Biden family, suggest that he will not run for reelection—but also not be impeached much less convicted or removed under the 25th Amendment.
So the Harris dilemma explains a lot: finding a way to keep her out of current power until Biden somehow finishes his first term, and thus letting the Democratic 2024 primary candidates organically abort her presidential aspirations.
There are a few problems, however, with this strategy.
One, can Joe Biden finish his first term?
That would require his staff to shorten his already truncated workday for the next 18 months to about 2-3 hours of work per day.
He would have to be kept away from photo-ops with young (especially female) children, lest he turkey-gobbles the cheek of another victim to a worldwide audience.
He can no longer read off a teleprompter without slurring his words, losing his place, or going off extemporaneously on to topics such as “Vladimir” Zelenskyy, the “Iraq” war in Ukraine, or relief over the curing of cancer.
He cannot hold half-hour press conferences given his incoherence and his angry prevarications. He still insists incredulously that he never discussed the Biden family business with Hunter, although we may soon see transcripts, recordings, and affidavits that he was in fact intimately involved in and profited from it.
The Strange Case of Hunter in the White House
Hunter is toxic and capable of leaving behind incriminating evidence or engaging in surreal behavior anywhere and anytime. Why would a former crack cocaine addict be brought into the White House, after which a bag of cocaine was for the first time in presidential history found abandoned in the West Wing?
(Partial answer: why and how would an addict leave an incriminating crackpipe in a rental car, simply abandon a laptop at a repair shop with evidence of his own felonious behavior on it, or allow his illegally registered handgun to turn up in a dumpster near a school)?
An outside, disinterested observer who read the contents of the laptop and Hunter’s wounded-fawn protestations about his unappreciated role in enriching his father and uncle, or digested his unhinged recent career as a quid-pro-quo, paint-by-the-numbers artiste, selling high-priced junk in exchange for presidential flavors, would conclude that the Bidens are apprehensive of the unpredictable Hunter. Keep your friends close, but your explosive son even closer.
Of course, they fear Hunter’s recklessness, addictions, and greed—but more perhaps his ability to take down the entire Biden clan should they distance themselves too far from him or leak that the family’s corrupt schemes were birthed by the fall-guy Hunter alone.
Aside from Joe’s cognitive decline and Hunter’s volatility, no one believes anymore Joe Biden’s patent lies that he never discussed with Hunter his lucrative grifting career. Already, the untruth has transmogrified into he never did business with Hunter—and soon perhaps he never profited from the business he did and discussed with Hunter.
No matter, by year’s end there will be witnesses and hard data showing that Joe himself discussed pay-for-play schemes with foreign entities, of the sort he long ago boasted with previous impunity before a Council of Foreign Relations event.
This is no Whitewater, Trooper-gate, or Stormy Daniels scandal, but bribery of the sort explicitly outlined by the Constitution for removal from office: “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
Selling influence to foreign-government related enterprises is, of course, not just bribery but perhaps treason as well. And it involves other “high Crimes and Misdemeanors,” among them tax fraud on unreported foreign income.
Moreover, it is arguable that the Biden shake-down consortium has altered the very nature of U.S. foreign policy. We will never know the full effect of the false Russian disinformation/laptop narrative, following the fake Russian collusion hoax, on Kremlin thinking. Nor can we explain why Joe Biden once urged Putin to lay off hacking humanitarian U.S. targets, or suggested that a minor invasion of Ukraine would not elicit a U.S. response, or offered to airlift Zelenskyy out of Kyiv in the first days of the war.
Nor can we explain why China was never held accountable by Biden after new information entailed the role of the Wuhan lab in birthing the Covid virus, or for sending a spy balloon across the continental U.S. with impunity. Meanwhile, the administration’s crazy talk of partnering with a supposedly non-bellicose China seems unhinged.
Finally, given the first Trump impeachment, what is the Left now going to say to House Republicans—“You cannot in this country impeach a president merely for threatening to cancel foreign aid unless Ukraine fired a prosecutor looking into his high-ranking family’s illegal influence selling?”
Equality Under the Law?
The Democrats in their Trump derangement fits so lowered the bar for impeachment and special prosecutions, that not impeaching or removing Biden under the Left’s own new standards seems almost ridiculous.
If Trump earned hysteria about 25th-amendment removal (to the point of taking and acing the Montreal Cognitive Assessment) for a halting gait on an occasion descending a ramp, how could a non-compos-mentis and chronically falling Biden not be so examined?
Moreover, Trump was impeached for 1) asking a foreign leader to examine the corruption of the Biden family with Ukraine while he put a hold on approved foreign aid to Ukraine; 2) and at the time, it was possible that Joe Biden could have been Trump’s likely future 2020 opponent.
But in contrast note that Biden 1) issued an ultimatum that a Ukraine prosecutor would either be summarily fired, or aid would be ended. And he was fired!; and 2) Biden was only a possible general-election presidential rival when Trump called Zelensky; Trump is currently the front-runner against a putative Biden candidacy in 2024.
Biden has also done far more than ask Ukraine to ensure a political opponent was not guilty of corruption, but rather sicced a special DOJ prosecutor on Trump for taking out classified papers in the manner that Joe Biden himself did years earlier, without the prerogative as a senator or vice president of declassifying such papers.
Harris Paradoxes
The open disregard for Kamala Harris is not just a Republican phenomenon. Her dismal popularity reflects that such disappointment in her is bipartisan. And now the likely machinations mentioned to keep her out of the presidency are undoing all the racial and gender pandering that explain her otherwise inexplicable appointment in the first place. At some point the Democratic identity-politics base is going to pressure the party’s hierarchy to back off and back Harris or face charges of racism.
In an odd way, the Left’s tolerance of Biden’s own cognitive impairment also strengthens Harris’s case, especially among her diversity base. Kamala utters incomprehensible sentences; Joe cannot finish them. Kamala’s public declamations are kindergarten stuff; Joe’s are more nursery school level. In theory, Kamala can be coached and improve; Joe’s declines are at a geometric rate that is irreversible.
So if someone so cognitively challenged is currently President with the full assent of the Democratic Party, for what reasons does it turn its animus on a Vice President who is still relatively young and hale?
How odd that the Left knows that both the current President and Vice President should not be in either job after 2024; and yet its own prior pandering and rank politicking have made both almost impossible to remove. And how odder that the extra-legal measures the Left took to emasculate the Trump presidency are now the low standards by which an utterly corrupt Biden can be investigated, indicted, impeached, or forced to resign.

We have pointed out that AI competition between the US and China is heating up. In 2019, we wrote a note titled As Tech War Unfolds, AI Arms-Race Erupts, China Could Overtake US By Next Decade and penned this in April, Winner Takes All: The US-China Race To AI Mastery.
In yet another sign the arms race could intensify, a new Financial Times article titled How Silicon Valley is Assisting the Pentagon in the AI Arms Race appears to be a promotional piece that reads as if a lobbying group wrote it to convince folks that after the passage of the fiscal year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act, more taxpayers dollars should flow to Silicon Valley defense startups rather than the five prime contractors, which include Lockheed Martin and Boeing.
But getting the defence department to reallocate some of its mammoth $886bn budget from its five incumbent prime contractors, which include Lockheed Martin and Boeing, to the thousands of entrepreneurs producing cutting-edge systems remains an obstacle. Tech entrepreneurs and investors have accused military leaders of engaging in "innovation theatre" — paying lip service to the benefits of disruptive technology while holding back lucrative contracts. -FT
Steve Blank, a tech veteran and founding member of the Gordian Knot Center at Stanford, said, "For the first time ever, the US military is dependent on commercial tech to win a war, but they're not organized to deal with commercial tech."
"China operates like Silicon Valley," Blank added, in reference to the tech sector's speed of innovation and agility -- noting: "On a good day, the DoD operates like Detroit," the metro area that has yet to recover from a plunge in auto-making. "It's not a fair fight."
FT pointed out, "Ukraine's deployment of dual-use technology — capabilities that have both commercial and defense applications — such as satellite imagery and autonomous drones is among the biggest catalysts for the US to bridge the chasm between Washington and California."
"What's happened in Ukraine has been a game-changer. More commercial technology is being used than during any other disagreement," said Mike Brown, a venture capitalist at Shield Capital and the former director of the Defence Innovation Unit.
Brown said, "That has got the wheels turning for the US military, which is saying, 'We need to adopt far more of this.'"
Again, the article reads that the "groundbreaking" commercial tech used in the war in Ukraine is grounds to divert military monies to California defense tech startups, which will better prepare the military for an even more significant issue: an AI arms race with China.
For some fear porn, the author declares, "Peacetime is over," outlining a list of Silicon Valley defense startups that would add value to military capabilities on the modern battlefield if they received a larger chunk of the new Pentagon budget for 2024.
Furthermore, the promotional article about Silicon Valley's defense startups failed to address potential dystopian outcomes, such as the dire implications of AI killing humans (there was already an incident of one rogue AI drone).

By Benjamin Picton of Rabobank
It’s important to maintain a sense of humor in the markets. Here at Rabobank we occasionally get accused of being perma-bears but I think that’s a little unfair because, like any team, we have a diversity of views and some of us are actually quite upbeat! Nevertheless, we have been fairly negative on the global outlook for a while. I prefer to think of this as cheerful pessimism, which Charlie Munger assures us is the best way to be, and he ought to know.
Indeed, there is much cause for mirth because funny things happen in the markets all the time. A case in point is the news over the weekend that the Bank of England will be leaning on the expertise of Ben “sub-prime is contained” Bernanke to lead a review into the Bank’s forecasting performance. We’re not suggesting that a bit of navel-gazing wouldn’t be justified for the Bank given its recent forecasting performance, but if you’re going to take advice on a subject wouldn’t it make sense to ask somebody with more of a track record of success?
Another famous Bernanke clanger was his assurances to Congress that the United States would not enter recession in 2008. I don’t want to jinx it, but that sounds eerily similar to the prognostications of another former Fed Chair, Janet Yellen, who has also been telling us pretty much the same thing recently. Yellen isn’t alone in her view. Following the decision to increase the Fed Funds rate last week Jerome Powell told us that Fed staff no longer expect a recession in 2023. That probably invalidates my working theory that Yellen’s no recession call might just have been the magic mushrooms talking, but it still might be worth checking what was on the menu at the Bank of England when the Bernanke decision was made.
Regular readers will know that our resident Fed expert, Philip Marey, has been cheerfully pessimistic for quite some time about the prospects for US growth later in the year. That is still the case, but the dataflow recently has been pretty good. Second quarter GDP last week beat the consensus forecast by miles, the core PCE deflator showed moderation, durable goods orders were strong and new jobless claims continue to outperform. Talk of a soft landing, or even “no landing” is creeping back into markets, but risks are legion! Commercial real estate jitters, deep losses on bank ‘hold to maturity’ portfolios, sky-high PE ratios and oodles of debt are all known-knowns (that we are ignoring for the time being), but what about the unknowns?
For this, I turn to my colleague Michael Every:
Saudi Arabia is to hold a peace summit over Ukraine, without Russia(!), and is potentially interested in a peace deal with Israel, with strings attached for the far-right Israeli government and the White House, which would have to offer a mutual defence treaty, against Iran, and backing for a Saudi civilian nuclear program - those who know the Middle East can see the upsides *and* the downsides of that potential dynamic. But ‘Peace now’, then, to match the ‘rate cuts soon’ vibe? Hardly! Consider: Kyiv may (or may not) have been behind new drone attacks on Moscow; Ukraine’s counter-offensive may finally be working; Russia’s Medvedev has stated Ukrainian success would require a Russian nuclear response; and, as the Financial Times (and others) warn, ‘Putin is looking for a bigger war, not an off-ramp, in Ukraine’, the Polish PM and senate suggest the Wagner group may soon stage a provocation at the Suwalki gap between Belarus and the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad to test NATO unity. In short, far fatter tail risks than another 25bp hike from the Fed or ECB remain present. Even assuming we don’t get a bigger war, NATO defence spending needs to surge to keep pace with rising global threats just as some economists are talking about fiscal prudence again. Japan, which just tightened monetary policy, will see its military spending leap from $122.5bn to $310bn over the next five years. Meanwhile, the New York Times warns Chinese hackers placed malware in key US infrastructure, which logically may need to be replaced, alongside ongoing onshoring. In short, markets may like doves but there is no guarantee of either ‘peace now’ or ‘rate cuts soon’.
It's hard not to see some black humor in staging peace talks that don’t include the main belligerent. Signs of further Russian aggression are particularly concerning given the position of relative weakness that Europe is starting from. The German manufacturing PMI released last week looks absolutely diabolical, as do the preliminary growth figures for the second quarter. The situation is sufficiently serious for Economy Minister Habeck to caution last week that the economy faces five difficult years of green industrial transition.
Greeks and Italians who have been subject to more than a little finger-wagging from Berlin over the years may be enjoying the Schadenfreude for the time being, but a weak Germany in a time of geopolitical tensions is not in the broader interests of the EU. That is no laughing matter.

Major media outlets, including The Washington Post and numerous left-slanted ones, have published articles to persuade the public that the up-and-coming generation holds more socially and politically progressive attitudes. However, a new respected federal survey of American youth shows otherwise.
The Hill cites a new survey from Monitoring the Future that shows an explosion of high school seniors that identify as male and say they're "conservative" or "very conservative." Data from the survey extends back more than a half-century to the mid-1970s. The eruption happened during President Trump's first term. Meanwhile, male respondents who identified as "liberals" plunged to 13%.
As for female seniors during Trump's first term, there was a surge in ones who identified as "liberals" while identifying as a "conservative' was unchanged.
Although this is just one study, outlets such as WaPo and Axios reference other studies indicating a leftward shift among America's youth.
Even with progressives implanting their agendas in public schools, such as 'woke' math, this study shows that perhaps the indoctrination of the young generation into aligning with the Democratic party might be faltering.
Can this be attributed to Trump?

Blobulation
“Biden has restored the integrity of the Department of Justice” - Dan Goldman, Congressman from New York
Surely Merrick Garland is not running the Department of Justice, but which gloopy pseudopod of the Blob is?
My guess would be some Intel Community politburo made up mostly of people you’ve never heard of.
The trouble is these geniuses confuse political fuckery with the operations of law.
So, Saturday night when the lights were supposedly off at the DOJ, and much of America was tuned out — getting new tattoos, arguing with the re-po man, watching the Orioles — the Blob told a lawyer from the Southern District of New York, one Damian Williams, to send a letter to Federal Judge Ronnie Abrams asking her to set a date for one Devon Archer to report to prison on a bond fraud conviction that Mr. Archer is appealing on the grounds of DOJ sentencing misconduct. Like, can you hurry that up, please?
Devon Archer, you recall, was the college room-mate and later close business associate of R. Hunter Biden, First Son, who is in a bit of trouble for laundering money from foreign companies and governments through a score of shell companies that then made large payouts to Biden family members, including the so-called Big Guy currently living in the White House. Mr. Archer, who has been in hiding (wonder why?) is scheduled to be deposed by the House Oversight Committee today. It is believed that he knows a thing or two about the Biden family business doings, enough, say, to corroborate the shit-ton of documentary evidence already in the Committee’s possession that lays out a pretty stark template of bribery with adumbrations of treason.
Sounds serious, a little bit, especially since it’s become ever more obvious that the whole federal law enforcement apparatus has been aware of the Biden family’s activities since well before “Joe Biden” was selected to be elected president. Of course, Mr. Archer’s testimony would only be the cherry on a well-baked cake. Chairman James Comer (R-KY) of the Oversight Committee says his investigators have rooted out new banking shenanigans on top of the over one hundred suspicious activity reports already in their files, despite obstruction and obfuscation from the Blob’s IRS and FBI arms. He seems determined to press forward and I daresay the Blob will find it very difficult to stop him.
Speaker Kevin McCarthy declared last week that all this roguery was “rising to the level of an impeachment inquiry.” D’ya think? What I wonder is: would such an inquiry begin to unravel the secret of who has been running “Joe Biden” lo these many months of face-plants, preposterous utterances, morning “lids,” and other indications that the commander-in-chief of the USA is not much more than a media apparition? One might also ask: was this really the best that Blob could come up with? Really? Him? This ghastly load of damaged goods?
Five House members: Matt Gaetz, Mike Johnson, Chip Roy, Harriet Hageman, and Dan Bishop, are calling for an emergency return from the August recess to get the impeachment process rolling. Let the case be made in an orderly and comprehensive process. See if The New York Times and its allies in the captive Blob media can ignore the proceeding. It will probably shock their readers-and-watchers to learn that the Biden family bribery and racketeering scandal actually exists. Will any of them ask: how come we never heard about this?
Behind all these blobulations looms the specter of Mr. Trump’s attempted return to power. What would he do in the remote case that he escapes the Blob’s mendacious prosecutions? Chop the Blob into a million gelatinous fragments, expose it to enough heat to vaporize it all, and recalibrate a US government back to the task of operating the few things it might arguably be competent at. Such a program would obviate the Blob’s drive to destroy everything worth operating in the human project of remaining civilized.
Alas, Blobism has become the religion of the deranged intellectual / managerial class in America. The chief concern of this crypto-gnostic religion is summoning demons to harass those it regards as heretics to Blobism. Thus, it is well within the historic tradition of fanatical / hysterical paroxysms that shake ordinary human doings and end up needlessly and wrongfully killing a lot of people.
No doubt Blobism is a product of the Intel Community run by that mysterious politburo, with assists from partners in foreign lands such as the WEF, the WHO, the CCP, and a coterie of essentially stateless super-rich guys with axes to grind. It was designed to derange the people who do most of its on-the-ground dirty work. They already have a lot of blood on their hands with the Covid-19 trip laid on the world, the pointless war in Ukraine, which it started deliberately, and now the forced de-industrialization of the West with a crusade against farming on the side, to make sure that those who don’t die of vaccine-related immune system disorders just starve to death.
Beginning a process to expel “Joe Biden” would be like cutting the head off a chicken. The head doesn’t have much going on inside of it except the eat-and-sleep-scratch-and-cackle algorithm, but without that head, the rest of the chicken just staggers around in circles for a minute before it drops dead. Our government needs to go through that for the country to become itself again. And remember: the government is not our country.
