Frugal..

Mitzi Perdue, the double-heiress of Sheraton hotels and Perdue farms, grew up wearing hand-me-downs and getting a public education. 

She’s quick to draw her Purse strings by flying economy, riding the subway, and living in a modest apartment despite sitting on a fortune from two billion-dollar American businesses.  

The 84-year-old has access to a trust from her family’s billion-dollar business, alongside the wealth from the Perdue empire. Yet she still lives just like anybody else: taking her shoes to the cobbler instead of buying new ones, riding the subway, flying economy, and living in a modest apartment instead of a house.

Perdue has lived a double life, having access to immense privilege and money from two business empires, while holding down a regular job and living frugally.

Circle..

 Anderson Cooper has hired a reputed Hollywood “super agent” — a sign that the CNN anchor, said to be pulling down an annual salary of $18 million, may exit the struggling cable network amid looming cost cuts.

Cooper, the 58-year-old son of the late fashion designer and railroad heiress Gloria Vanderbilt, is ditching his longtime agent United Talent Agency in favor of Creative Artists Agency and its top deal broker Bryan Lourd.

News of Cooper’s move was reported on Tuesday morning by the news sites Semafor and Variety. A CNN spokesperson declined to comment. CAA has also declined to comment.

Comment:

That salary seems too much for anyone's opinion provided during Trump's 4 years and 4 months of his presidency.

broker..

President Donald Trump remains – at least publicly – reluctant to plunge the US into another Mideast war and has continued to distance himself from the violence.

One US official told CNN that Trump rejected an Israeli plan to kill Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and the US president is himself insisting that, far from entering the conflict, he is determined to broker an end to it.

“Iran and Israel should make a deal, and will make a deal, just like I got India and Pakistan to make,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform on Sunday, referring to his intervention last month in a brief confrontation between the two South Asian nuclear neighbors over the disputed territory of Kashmir.

The man himself to broker the peace talk between the parties.  Just a thought 

Riots..

If you need proof that the media never intended to tell you the truth about former President Joe Biden’s physical and mental decline, look no further than their coverage of the riots in Los Angeles.

 The unlawful assembly was declared within hours of when the violence first broke out way back on June 6 when the rioters and arsonists initially clashed with federal officers. 

City law enforcement officials deployed tear gas and other crowd control methods that evening in an attempt to disperse the mob. 

Not long afterward, Los Angeles issued a citywide tactical alert, alerting the city’s officers of an all-hands event.

Note that all of this occurred before President Trump had called up the National Guard.

The city’s comically inept mayor, Karen Bass, imposed a curfew and declared a local emergency on June 10.

I bit some couldn't start a fire in their own countries.  Just a thought.

Tanks U..

 

Toward the end of May, Switzerland moved forward with the sale of 71 Leopard 1A5 tanks to Germany on the condition that they would not be transferred to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The decision seeks to maintain Switzerland’s long-standing position of neutrality, although it represents a shift from previous years’ stricter stance, which had completely opposed such a transaction. 

The move has already been approved by the Swiss Federal Council, the country’s seven-member executive body, which argued that the sale, under these conditions, does not violate Switzerland’s policy of not supplying weapons to countries involved in armed conflicts.

What a decision!!  Just a thought 

Investigated..

The ABC is investigating “serious allegations” that its defense correspondent Andrew Greene filed a story about a German shipbuilder without disclosing that he had traveled to Germany courtesy of ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems, which is hoping to win Australian navy contracts.

Media Watch revealed that Greene filed a story last week for ABC radio’s The World Today about how business is booming at German shipyards. The report, which has since been taken down, allegedly failed to disclose that the journalist had been a guest of the defense company.

“These are serious allegations, and the ABC is investigating them,” a spokesperson for ABC News said.

What's happening here? How common?

Surrender..

• 

  
  President Donald Trump is considering whether to launch a military strike against Iran as he demands the country’s leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, “surrender” in Tehran’s conflict with Israel, current and former administration officials told NBC News on Tuesday.
• Trump warned Khamenei that the U.S. knows “exactly” where he is “hiding.”
  “Our patience is wearing thin,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
  “He is an easy target, but is safe there - We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now,” Trump wrote shortly after declaring “total control” over Iran’s airspace.
  “But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers,” he wrote.
  Trump in a subsequent post made clear what he does want from Iran: “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!..... Just a thought

Expected..

New York City Comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander was released from federal custody Tuesday afternoon, hours after he was arrested by officers at immigration court in Manhattan after he tried to escort a migrant whom officers were attempting to arrest.

His arrest is the latest involving a Democratic politician in an immigration-related incident.

Lander, who is running in a crowded Democratic mayoral primary set to take place next week, had been monitoring immigration court activity in the past few days, walking alongside migrants as they exited their court appointments in response to reports that the migrants were being taken into custody by federal agents following court appearances.

Comment:

Was that expected, or came out of the left field?  Just a thought.

Turnaround..

 

New Border Patrol data shows not a single illegal migrant was released into the United States last month, signaling an overwhelming turnaround since 62,000 were released into the country under the Biden administration at the same time last year.

We've said all along that the United States Border Patrol knows how to secure the border. We just need leadership, and with the leadership of President Trump and Secretary Noem, we are proving exactly what we've been saying for years: Let us enforce the laws, and we'll get the job done."

"I think the American people are seeing that... And we're just getting started. We're not even close to being done."

Comment:
Wonder why the previous administration didn't control this issue?

Arrest..

 

 

The Iranian regime has arrested scores of people across the country for allegedly sharing articles online “in support of the Zionist regime” – accusing them of disrupting the “psychological security of society” – including 60 people in Isfahan, where Israel claims to have targeted a nuclear site.

Since Israeli strikes began Friday, 28 people in the capital have been arrested and accused of spying for Israel, while on Monday, one man arrested on that charge two years ago was hanged in what appeared to be a message to any would-be collaborator.
