Trump just brokered the sale of TikTok for the Chinese Communist Party to a likely friend or family member of Trump, but not before ensuring that China (and its military) receive Tens of Billions of US dollars in return for the sale, they can use to continue to hack, spy on, and militarily defeat the US. Michael Popok examines the new announced framework of the sale Trump “brokered” and what it shows about Trump selling out our National Security so he can burnish his “deal maker” reputation as the CEO of US Inc.

With 25% of cable ad revenue tied to Big Pharma, the move threatens billions in spending—and could reshape how Americans see (and demand) prescription drugs. Transparency for patients or a blow to the media-industrial complex? This could be just the start.

In this episode of The Money Mondays, Dan Fleyshman sits down with real estate developer, investor, and author Jarek Tadla to explore the deeper side of wealth.Jarek shares his remarkable journey from earning $4 an hour as an immigrant dishwasher to building a billion-dollar real estate portfolio. But his story isn't just about money—it's about the mental, emotional, and spiritual battles that come with success.Together, Dan and Jarek dive into:Why fear and comfort zones hold people backThe difference between inheritance and legacy when raising childrenHow chasing external validation nearly cost Jarek his lifeThe importance of inner wealth, emotional intelligence, and self-worthWhy giving your time and energy matters more than writing checksThis is an unfiltered conversation about money, mental health, family, and fulfillment—and why true wealth begins within.

In this episode of American Potential, host David From is joined by Jeremiah Mosteller, Policy Director at Americans for Prosperity, to examine how the Department of Justice spends its massive $67 billion budget. From maintaining dozens of little-used SWAT teams across obscure federal agencies to handing out 11,000 grants worth nearly $5 billion a year—many with little accountability—Jeremiah explains how DOJ has grown far beyond its original mission of enforcing federal law. He also reveals how overlapping programs and unclear reporting allow waste and duplication to thrive. The conversation then shifts to one of DOJ's most controversial practices: civil asset forfeiture. Jeremiah outlines how this process allows the government to seize cash, cars, and property from people never even charged with a crime, fueling a slush fund that DOJ frequently raids for discretionary spending. By redirecting this money back to taxpayers and consolidating duplicative programs, Jeremiah and David show how reforms could cut billions without harming public safety. This milestone episode celebrates their Big Ideas for Smaller Government series officially identifying more than $2 trillion in potential federal savings.

#craftbeer #mrbeast #rollingstone Mr. Beast is one of YouTube's biggest success stories --- an entrepreneur who's amassed unsightly amounts of money, success, and fame. So, when he clapped back at Rolling Stone (who he called The Rolling Stones, bless his heart) for controversially ranking him below smaller creators in their list of most influential creators of the year, most were surprised. It wasn't so much his disapproval but his post that put a target on the back of comedian Caleb Hearon, who RS placed above him. We talk why this uber successful internet icon may have reacted like a petulant child and how his walk back fell flat. Then it's on to another controversial figure, Will Smith, who was recently caught faking his crowds with AI on a recent social media post. We talk why he and other aging rappers seem to be leaning on AI so much in their marketing and even production work. Cheers! Beer of the Week: Playalinda Brewing Co.

Is America making the Gaza conflict worse—or could it actually be the key to peace? That's the question at the center of today's conversation. With the world watching Israel, Palestine, and the fallout from October 7th, the U.S. finds itself in a role it didn't ask for but can't seem to walk away from. Billions of taxpayer dollars are flowing overseas—but is any of it helping, or are we just fueling more chaos? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS In this episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we dig into the messy reality of foreign policy, media narratives, and the “strategic ambiguity” that defines America's role in Gaza. Why does every headline make it sound like the world is on fire, and what's the truth behind the nonstop images flooding our feeds? More importantly—how much of this can we actually control? We cut through the noise and ask the tough questions: Should America keep funding Israel? Where's the line between defending an ally and enabling endless war? And how much of what we're seeing is reality—versus propaganda carefully crafted to pull on our heartstrings? If you've ever wondered why both sides seem to be losing, you'll want to hear this. The conversation also dives into how leaders like Donald Trump frame these conflicts. Is he offering solutions, or just using brand and marketing tactics to control the narrative? What does that mean for everyday Americans who wake up, scroll the news, and feel powerless watching tragedy unfold half a world away? Finally, we bring it back home. Because at the end of the day, you can't fix Gaza from your kitchen table—but you can fix what's in your control: your family, your community, your values. If you're tired of being overwhelmed by problems you can't solve, this episode will help you reframe the conversation and focus on what really matters. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Cristiano Ronaldo's last few days have been packed with high-profile football drama, historic milestones, global business maneuvers, and nonstop media buzz. Fresh off signing a new two-year contract extension with Al-Nassr, as reported by The Guardian, the 40-year-old Portuguese icon is set to remain the Saudi Pro League's headline act through 2027. Media called this move a power play in the SPL's quest to rival Europe, especially as Ronaldo stays front and center while world-class teammates like João Félix and Kingsley Coman join the squad, coached by serial winner Jorge Jesus.All eyes turned to Hong Kong when Ronaldo landed with Al-Nassr in mid-August for the first-ever Saudi Super Cup staged abroad. The Beat Asia notes that rain and security couldn't keep fans from mobbing his hotel, signaling global pull even in his fourth decade on the pitch. Al-Nassr suffered heartbreak in the Super Cup final—losing to Al-Ahli after a penalty shootout—but the bigger biographical moment came with Ronaldo becoming the first footballer in history to notch 100 goals for four professional clubs, according to Reuters. It's another stat that cements his legacy in a catalog that already includes five Ballon d'Ors and approaching a 1,000-goal career total.August 29 saw the league season open with Al-Nassr hammering Al-Taawoun 5-0, per Latestly. Ronaldo scored his 101st Al-Nassr goal with a cool penalty, then celebrated on social media with his trademark “First step” message. João Félix stole headlines with a hat-trick, and new signing Coman bagged one too—evidence of Al-Nassr's summer rebuild aiming for Ronaldo's elusive first major trophy in Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo rallied fans with another passionate social media post quoted by Times of India: “We can't do it alone...we need you. Let's make it unforgettable.”On the business side, BrandVM and Forbes estimate Ronaldo's net worth at roughly 750 million USD as of August 2025, bolstered by his Al-Nassr salary, CR7 brand ventures, hotel joint ventures with Pestana Group, real estate, and his long-running Nike lifetime endorsement—an off-field empire rivaled only by Lionel Messi. He remains the most-followed person on Instagram, a vital status for sponsors and business.In summary, Ronaldo is rewriting records, building Asia's football spectacle, making headlines from salary negotiations to social posts, and keeping his CR7 brand in the stratosphere. With his new contract signed, another top scorer campaign begun, business booming, and social media ablaze with every milestone, only the elusive Saudi trophy and the chase for a thousand goals seem to stand between Ronaldo and further legend. No reliable reports of transfer moves or health worries have surfaced—speculation about a summer exit proved unfounded, reinforcing his giant status and the Saudi league's rising allure.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Tuesday August 26, 2025 SpaceX Gets Billions From the Government – It Gives Little to Nothing Back in Taxes

Mars is dry, cold, and quiet. But that hasn’t always been the case. Billions of years ago it was much busier – and perhaps a comfortable home for life. Mars has had three major geological ages. The oldest was the Noachian. It’s named for a large highlands region in the southern hemisphere. It began about 4.1 billion years ago, and lasted for 400 million years. The solar system was still packed with big “leftovers” from the birth of the planets then. Many of them slammed into Mars, forming wide basins that are still visible today. At the same time, giant volcanoes belched gases into the atmosphere. That trapped heat, making Mars much warmer. Clouds might have produced rain or snow. The precipitation carved rivers and filled lakes and maybe even a large ocean. Conditions could have allowed the formation of microscopic life. At the end of that period, there were fewer impacts and less volcanic activity. Mars cooled off, and the water dried up. So Mars became quieter as the Noachian Age ended, and the next age began. Mars is close to the right or upper right of the Moon early this evening. It looks like a fairly bright star. But it’s quite low in the sky, especially as seen from the northern half of the country, so you need a clear horizon to spot it. The star Spica, which is about twice as bright as Mars, stands to the upper left of the Moon. We’ll have more about Spica tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

For more than a decade, scientists have been puzzling over what was causing billions of starfish to dissolve into piles of white goo. Sea star wasting disease has ravaged starfish populations, wiping out 90% of the once common sunflower sea star. Now, researchers have finally identified the culprit. Madeleine Finlay speaks to Dr Melanie Prentice, one of the team to crack the case. She explains the impact the disease has had on the marine environment, how they found the pathogen responsible, and what it means for sea stars' recovery.
