Ex-CNN broadcaster Don Lemon, recently let go from a deal with Elon Musk’s X, allegedly made an out-of-this-world list of demands, including soliciting a Tesla Cyber truck, an upfront payment of $5 million, and to be the first man to host a space podcast.
The broadcaster, who made over $20M when he left CNN, wanted an $8 million salary with a $5 million upfront payment. Lemon also attempted to negotiate an equity stake in X and even have a say in the X policy regarding news material.
According to a document from his agent, Lemon demanded a private jet, a suite for him and his partner, and a company covered full-day of relaxation activities. Additionally, Lemon sought financial assistance to build a podcast studio and a ride on a SpaceX rocket to secure a “first to record a podcast in space” title.
Elon Musk responded to the revelations by characterizing Lemon as “Veruca Salt,” the entitled child from the famous book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Tyson Foods, a major American producer of meat, is facing boycott calls after its Human Resources associate director Garrett Dolan told Bloomberg, “We would like to employ another 42,000 [migrants] if we could find them,” during an interview about the firm’s involvement in the Tent Partnership for Refugees program founded by Chobani. Tent is led by Obama-era White House staffer Gideon Maltz.
The firm insists on its website that recent media coverage on the matter is “misinformation,” adding, “Tyson Foods is strongly opposed to illegal immigration, and we led the way in participating in the two major government programs to help employers combat unlawful employment, E-Verify and the Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers (IMAGE) program.”
But the distinction appears to be mostly semantics, with Tyson actually relying on the Biden government’s fast-tracking of employment authorizations for millions of people in the country illegally. The Trump administration had previously suspended such authorizations. In April last year alone, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) said they were processing 535,764 pending authorization petitions, also known as Employment Authorization Documents (EADs). The move to relax restrictions on these was one of the first things the Biden government and its Attorney General Merrick Garland did after taking office.
Moreover, Tyson already employs 42,000 immigrants amongst its 120,000-strong labor force, further undercutting their claims to have been the subject of “misinformation.”
America First Legal, a Trump-world advocacy group, latched on to the discriminatory statement made by Dolan, stating: “It is ILLEGAL under federal law to discriminate against American citizens based on their citizenship in favor of non-citizens of any kind when it comes to employment.”
The meat firm also invests cash into legal aid services for their migrant employees, provides them paid time off for any court appearances, as well as childcare and transportation, and English classes.
“They’re very, very loyal,” Dolan said. “They’ve been uprooted and what they want is stability — what they want is a sense of belonging.” It is unclear if Dolan is suggesting that U.S. workers are disloyal, do not want stability, nor a sense of belonging.

President Donald J. Trump will address an Ohio crowd at 4 PM ET, and is expected to demand that “[n]ot one more American life should be lost to migrant crime.” He will add: “When I am President of the United States, I will demand Justice for Laken [Riley],” in reference to the 22-year-old Georgia student murdered by an illegal migrant who remained in America as a result of Joe Biden’s open border policies.
“Now in Venezuela, the murder rate is down by almost 66 percent,” Trump will explain, “while violent crime in America is way up. All over the world, crime is way down because they’re sending their criminals, their perverts, their murderers, their terrorists, their human traffickers, their drug dealers—they’re all pouring into the United States because of Joe Biden.”
“Laken Riley would be alive today if Biden had not unleashed this savage into America—but instead of apologizing to Laken’s family, Joe Biden apologized to the killer for calling him an illegal — he said he should have called him undocumented,” Trump will state, going on to tell the crowd: “In the Republican Party, we believe that Laken’s killer is an illegal alien criminal, he is an illegal alien monster, he should never have been in our country, and he would never have been in our country under the Trump policy.”

The Republican-led House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed AT&T for 13 years of Hunter Biden’s phone records.
“The Oversight Committee has identified payments made by Hunter Biden for what appear to be bills associated with his own use, and a cellphone line for his father’s use,” Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer wrote in a letter to AT&T.
“Based on records reviewed by the Committees, the total amount paid by Hunter Biden for his father’s use appears to be over $15,000, which was for a personal line Joe Biden utilized while Vice President.”
Critical testimony in the impeachment inquiry comes from Devon Archer, a business associate of Hunter Biden at Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings. Archer testified Hunter would put his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, on the phone during business meetings with some regularity, and there is suspicion the elder Biden used his political influence to protect his son’s business interests in Ukraine.
Investigators seek to establish whether Joe Biden communicated with his son’s business associates and whether specific calls coincided with certain business meetings.
“The subpoenaed records will help the Oversight Committee determine whether Joe Biden abused his office by selling access and/or by receiving payments or other benefits in exchange for official acts, which is a critical aspect of the impeachment inquiry,” Comer explained.

Doctors have challenged the term ’long Covid,’ claiming it does not exist and causes unnecessary fear in patients.
Chief Health Officer of Queensland, Australia, Dr. John Gerrard, says the term ’long Covid’ implies a false uniqueness of COVID-19 and that other viruses, like the flu, can result in similar post-viral syndrome.
“We believe it is time to stop using terms like ’long Covid,’” said Gerrard. “They wrongly imply there is something unique and exceptional about longer term symptoms associated with this virus,” he continued. “This terminology can cause unnecessary fear, and in some cases, hypervigilance to longer symptoms that can impede recovery.”
Gerard’s comments follow a study that found no evidence to suggest that those who had COVID-19 were any more likely to have moderate-to-severe functional limitations a year after their diagnosis than those who contracted other viral infections.
“In health systems with highly vaccinated populations, long Covid may have appeared to be a distinct and severe illness because of high volumes of Covid cases during the pandemic. However, we found that the rates of ongoing symptoms and functional impairment are indistinguishable from other post-viral illnesses,” Gerard said
“These findings underscore the importance of comparing post-Covid outcomes with those following other respiratory infections, and of further research into post-viral syndromes,” he continued.

U.S. officials identified efforts by Beijing to hack American nuclear reactor technology several months before Hunter Biden and his business associates attempted to facilitate a discreet sale of U.S. reactor company Westinghouse to Chinese firm CEFC China Energy.
CHINESE ESPIONAGE.
Twenty months before Hunter Biden’s efforts to help the CCP-linked company acquire Westinghouse, the Justice Department charged five operatives of the People’s Liberation Army’s Unit 61398 with hacking the systems of several U.S. companies, including Westinghouse.
One operative allegedly accessed Westinghouse’s system and procured proprietary technical and design specifications relating to the company’s advanced AP1000 nuclear reactor design.
There are no indications that Hunter Biden was conscious of or implicated in the Chinese hacking endeavors. However, records from the Biden impeachment proceeding show that the Biden family recognized CEFC’s CCP ties. Hunter Biden referred to one CEFC official — Patrick Ho — as the “f***ing spy chief” of China.
“JOE BIDEN KNEW ABOUT IT.”
“It’s beyond outrageous that Hunter Biden would be involved in any such deal with Communist China while his father is the sitting vice president,” former Trump-era Deputy National Security Advisor Victoria Coates said in an interview. “I mean just the glaring conflicts of interest are hard to wrap your brain around. But particularly with Westinghouse.”
Hunter Biden’s involvement in the CEFC bid occurred while Joe Biden was Vice President. “I think it’s likely (Joe Biden) got defensive briefings,” Fred Fleitz, a former CIA officer and NSC chief of staff, told Just the News. “I think he probably received information in the Presidential Daily Brief when he was vice president that had profiles of some of these characters and analyses of things that they were up to. But it didn’t seem to stop them.”
“It seems that the Biden family was prepared to sell anything wasn’t nailed down to advance themselves to make money,” Flietz said. “I don’t think this was a conspiracy to help the Chinese Communist Party. I think this was pure greed, by the Biden family.” He added: “I think Joe Biden knew about it.”

Nonprofits like the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) are still finding ways to influence electoral processes despite a half-dozen states moving to ban their involvement. CTCL and other organizations received substantial private funding during the 2020elections from tech moguls such as Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Through a series of publicly available webinars, CTCL provides training on topics like working with leftist fact-checkers, lobbying elected officials, and building relationships with selected journalists.
Despite promoting a ‘non-partisan’ public image, CTCL’s founders and some of its board members trace back to Democratic political operations. The organization itself has received millions in funding from left-leaning sources. In response to the laws prohibiting private election funding, CTCL launched the Election Infrastructure Initiative, which aims to pool together election officials, nonprofits, counties, and cities to advocate for $20 billion in federal funding for election processes over the next decade.
Notwithstanding the controversy surrounding its political affiliations and disputed involvement in the 2020 elections, CTCL also continues to train election administrators. Training topics include navigating electoral procedures, lobbying officials, and targeting disfavored speech about elections.
Zuckerberg has announced his intention to use Facebook and Instagram tools to limit the political content users will see ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Instagram publicly stated: “[W]e won’t proactively recommend content about politics on recommendation surfaces across Instagram and Threads.”
The National Pulse has provided extensive coverage of Zuckerberg and CTCL’s activities. In 2022, The Pulse reported that CTCL launched an $80 million effort to hijack local elections — ostensibly tilting the races in favor of Democrats. In August of the same year, Zuckerberg himself admitted to interfering in the 2020 presidential election — acknowledging that he and his company, Facebook, censored media coverage of Hunter Biden’s laptop on behalf of the FBI.

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has expressed concern that new voter identification regulations could potentially hinder his re-election chances. Writing for the Russian oligarch-owned ‘Independent‘, Khan begins: “I am under no illusion: I could lose,” before explaining: “Many people don’t realise yet that the Tory government has changed the voting system to make it much more likely that their candidate will win.”
Britain introduced voter ID requirements for the first time in 2022, which the far-left Labour Party bemoaned as a “blatant attempt to rig democracy in favour of the Conservative Party.”
“New rules making it compulsory to have an approved form of ID – a deliberate attempt to reduce turnout – also puts the election on a knife-edge,” Khan wrote in a statement for the Independent. “Analysis shows more than 900,000 Londoners – likely to include large numbers of young people and those from minority communities – might not have valid ID and will thus be barred from exercising their democratic right to vote,” he continued.
Khan criticized his rival, Susan Hall, for her “hard Brexit” stance and for opposing his initiatives on air quality and climate change. “I’ve always stood up for London’s open, outward-looking, pro-European and anti-racist values – as well as for climate science, women’s rights, our diversity, our LGBT+ community, and liberal democracy,” Khan wrote.
London residents are set to vote for their preferred leader in six weeks, with Khan presently enjoying a significant lead in the polls. The YouGov/Mile End Institute Poll shows Khan leading at 49 percent, with his nearest opponent, Conservative Susan Hall, trailing at 24 percent.

A bronze statue of Queen Victoria has been torn down in Geelong, Australia, in the latest of a series of targeted attacks on British historical monuments in the former colony.
Erected in 1912, the statue of the 19th-century monarch was torn from its plinth in the early hours of Thursday morning. It was then vandalized with red paint, which was also used to deface the plinth, reading ‘Victoria, Queen and Empress, 1837-1901,’ with the words’ THE COLONY CAN FALL.’
The statue was less seriously vandalized earlier in March, being splashed with red paint and daubed with the words ‘THE COLONY WILL FALL.’
The same slogan appeared on a Melbourne statue of Captain James Cook, the British explorer who mapped much of Australia and New Zealand and discovered Hawaii, in January, which was toppled by being broken at the ankles. A second statue of Cook in the city was cut down in February.

A statue of an obese “metropolitan woman of color” will be installed in London’s iconic Trafalgar Square, alongside a monument to Admiral Lord Nelson, the Hero of Trafalgar, and statues of King George IV and war heroes General Sir Charles James Napier and Major-General Sir Henry Havelock.
Titled ‘Lady in Blue,’ the sculpture by Harlem-born Tschabalala Self will be placed on the so-called “fourth plinth,” an empty pedestal originally intended to hold an equestrian statue of King William IV, in 2026. It will feature a black female with prominent buttocks wearing platform shoes and a revealing blue dress.
Self says the sculpture “pays homage to a young, metropolitan woman of color who could be just one of many Londoners today.”
It was authorized by the Fourth Plinth Commissioning Group, which operates under Mayor Sadiq Khan’s so-called Culture Team.
It will not be permanent, with the city authorities rotating a series of often woke installations on the fourth plinth. ‘Towards an Uncertain Future,’ a shapeless green mass by Romanian sculptor Andra Ursuța, is set to replace it in 2028.
