JPMorgan Chase & Co. has asked the Manhattan District Attorney's office, led by Alvin Bragg, to turn over certain records and documents as part of the federal lawsuits the bank is facing over its business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The requests came amid litigation by Epstein accusers and the U.S. Virgin Islands that alleges JPMorgan enabled Epstein's sex-trafficking network by maintaining him as a client for years, including after his 2008 conviction. JPMorgan is seeking statements and other materials from Bragg's office that could relate to claims by a woman suing the bank — identified in court filings as “Jane Doe” — about what the bank knew regarding Epstein and his activities, and whether senior executives, such as former JPMorgan banker Jes Staley, had first-hand knowledge of his operations.A federal judge ordered the Manhattan DA's office to provide a privilege log describing the documents JPMorgan wants and later ruled that certain statements made by a plaintiff to one of the DA's prosecutors must be turned over to the bank. The judge's rulings underscore how the evidence held by prosecutors in New York — including victim statements — may play a role in the civil cases against JPMorgan by shedding light on what the bank and its former executives may have known about Epstein's criminal conduct during their interactions with him.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

On this episode of The Finest Unfiltered, John Macari, Eric Dym, and Marlon Bethel discuss Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's prosecution of two NYPD officers he is accusing of “covering up” a drunk driving crash involving an off-duty NYPD cop. The off-duty officer involved in the crash was ultimately arrested and prosecuted yet Bragg is now pursuing charges against responding officers, claiming misconduct in the handling of the scene. Is this a legitimate corruption case, or just another politically charged prosecution targeting NYPD officers? We break down: What actually happened the night of the crash, the timeline of the arrest and prosecution, what the “cover-up” allegations really mean legally, the indictment and the broader impact on NYPD morale and proactive policing. They also discuss how cases like this change the way cops respond to off-duty incidents. When line officers face prosecution for decisions made in the field, it doesn't just affect two careers, it affects how policing is done citywide. In today's political climate, are officers being judged by policy… or by narrative?

Alyssa shares perspective from her journey through multiple roles inside the dealership, offering insights on leadership, mindset, and building long-term success in a results-driven industry. "If you have a customer that's coming in and they're having their first baby and they're all excited for it, you better get your ass up and be excited too." They also explore what it really takes to stand out in automotive retail in 2026 and beyond, from understanding customer psychology to maintaining control of the sales process while still building authentic relationships! If you're a car salesperson, BDC professional, manager, or dealer looking to increase income, improve leadership, and strengthen dealership performance, this episode will challenge the way you think about selling, and what it actually means to win in automotive. Tune in and discover why emotional intelligence might be the most overlooked competitive advantage in the car business!   Key Takeaways: ✅ Emotional Intelligence: Understanding and fulfilling customer needs are crucial for building long-lasting relationships and boosting sales. ✅ Adhering to Processes: Following structured sales processes not only sustains high gross profits but also enhances the customer experience. ✅ Mentorship and Leadership: Having strong mentors and assuming leadership roles can significantly accelerate personal and professional growth. ✅ Finance Management: Excelling in finance requires breaking down customer barriers and presenting value-driven products effectively. ✅ Diverse Background Impact: Various personal and professional experiences enrich one's approach to sales and management, empowering success in the field.   About Alyssa Bragg Alyssa Bragg is a seasoned professional in the automotive industry with over a decade of experience. She began her career as a BDC representative at a Toyota dealership in Pennsylvania, quickly rising through the ranks to become a successful car salesperson.

Don't miss out on LA's NADA Session on Feb. 5th at 12:30 PM PST in Las Vegas!     Millionaire Insights: Rising in the Automotive Industry One Sale at a Time Key Takeaways Embrace Emotional Intelligence: Mastering the art of emotional intelligence can transform sales experiences and lead to higher success in the automotive industry. Build Wealth Through Process and Support: Following a structured sales process and seeking mentorship paves the way for personal and financial growth. Women in Leadership: Despite being male-dominated, the automotive industry offers significant growth opportunities for women, supported by resilience and mentorship. Unlocking the Power of Emotional Intelligence in Automotive Sales In the fast-paced world of automotive sales, emotional intelligence plays a pivotal role in setting top performers apart from the rest. As LA Williams stressed in the podcast, the ability to read customers, understand their needs, and empathize with their excitement or concerns can make all the difference. Alyssa Bragg exemplifies this concept, noting, "If you have a customer that's coming in and they're having their first baby and they're all excited for it, you better get your ass up and be excited too. Like you're part of the family." This ability to identify and manage both personal emotions and the emotions of others allows salespeople to create lasting relationships with clients. It not only improves the client's experience but often leads to higher customer satisfaction and retention. Bragg underscores the importance of active listening and connecting with customers on a personal level, which are integral to effective emotional intelligence. This is what transforms a typical sales transaction into a trusted relationship, ultimately increasing sales and boosting overall dealership performance. In broader terms, adopting emotional intelligence across a dealership can change the culture and enhance team performance. It fosters a supportive environment where team members can thrive, leveraging each other's strengths and learning from shared experiences. Process, Perseverance, and Wealth-Building Strategies Bragg's journey from a BDC representative to managing a broad spectrum of automotive roles showcases the transformative power of perseverance and process adherence. This consistent application of learned procedures is fundamental in the path from ordinary salesman to an industry leader. "Follow the process that you have in place…if there's a breakdown in that process, there's going to be a breakdown in your sale," Bragg explains. A crucial aspect of building wealth in the automotive world is understanding and executing a dealership's sales process meticulously. From the initial meet and greet to a comprehensive needs analysis, every step matters. LA Williams discussed the importance of discipline, reminding listeners that the dealership environment can expose flaws just as quickly as it rewards achievements. This points to the necessity of maintaining a disciplined approach to consistently achieve sales targets and personal financial goals. Moreover, seeking mentorship and guidance from more experienced colleagues can be crucial in overcoming industry challenges. As Bragg conveys, the affirmation and coaching from her peers propelled her to realize her full potential. This aspect of shared learning and communal support is integral in cultivating a culture of growth, highlighting the significant role it plays in both individual and team success within the automotive industry. Navigating the Challenges and Opportunities for Women in Automotive Leadership Although the automotive industry remains predominantly male, there are profound opportunities for women who choose to navigate its challenges with resilience and ambition. Alyssa Bragg has successfully transcended traditional barriers, moving from sales into leadership roles. Her story serves as an inspiration and a testament to overcoming skepticism through determination and skill. Bragg shares her experiences frankly, recognizing both the challenges and the burgeoning opportunities: "The instinct is…that women don't know how to sell, women don't know how to run a business. But we do. We do. And we're so hungry and so eager to learn." This hunger translates into tenacity and resilience, qualities that allow women to persevere despite the skepticism they may encounter. Moreover, Bragg emphasizes the importance of perseverance and mentorship in overcoming these barriers. She encourages women in the field to "find yourself a mentor and just keep your head up and keep moving through," which highlights the critical role that strong professional networks and mentorship can play in navigating and overcoming industry challenges. By sharing experiences and seeking guidance, women can continue to climb the ranks within this dynamic field, shaping the future of automotive leadership. The lessons from the Millionaire Car Salesman podcast offer a well-rounded view of what it takes to succeed in the automotive industry. Emotional intelligence stands out as a vital skill to nurture connections with clients and colleagues alike. Bragg's advocacy for a steadfast focus on process and her testimony to the financial possibilities available to dedicated individuals exemplify the pathway to wealth and growth. Meanwhile, her tenacity as a woman navigating the male-dominated industry underscores the transformational possibilities present in embracing mentorship and resilience. These stories and strategies offer not just insights, but actionable advice for anyone wishing to excel in this vibrant industry.     Resources + Our Proud Sponsors: ➼ The Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group: Join the #1 Automotive Sales Mastermind Facebook Group with over 29,000 automotive professionals worldwide.

Good Morning, ‘Hark!' ‘Do you hear what I hear?' ‘They said there'd be snow this Christmas; they said there'd be peace on earth' ‘Do they know it's Christmas?' ‘I pray God it's our last!' Throughout the land the lyrics of Christmas songs are being piped in shopping centres and pubs and, loved or loathed, we sing along. This year's official Christmas No1 will be decided on Friday. Current favourite is Kylie, with oldies from George Michael and Slade chasing hard. As Slade's Noddy Holder sings; ‘Does your granny always tell ya that the old songs are the best.' Then, in a tradition begun by Lennon and taken up by Rage Against The Machine, there are the Christmas protest songs. This year's from Brian Eno and Peter Gabriel with ‘Lullaby', a song for Gaza, and Billy Bragg's ‘Put Christ Back Into Christmas', with Bragg asking us ‘to stand with those who need the most' and reminding us that Christmas celebrates the birth of a refugee. It seems very British to me that we are free to mix protest in with sentimentality and silliness. The Christmas story is spacious enough to contain all our hopes and fears, our joy and praise, our rage and indifference. Even our scrooge-iest revulsion. For I contend that the birth of Christ is itself a kind of cosmic protest song. The original Christmas No.1 was after all sung by angels to people at the margins of society: the young Mary and Shepherds, those far from the corridors of power and status; a startling song that announces a change to the status quo, a tune sweeter and louder than the prevailing mood music of despair, the monotonous dirge of violence and oppressive power, of one bad thing after another: ‘Do not be afraid' it declares. ‘There will be peace on earth.' It's arguable that we might never have heard this story had the message not been sung to people who were immediately in tune with it, and able to sing back in words of astonished wonder and praise: ‘he has scattered the proud, put down the mighty, exalted those of lowly degree.' Or ‘My eyes have seen your salvation.' Once you've ‘hailed the incarnate deity'; or seen the Godhead veiled in flesh, the chances are you're going to sing about it. Christmas invites the world to sing a different tune. I'd even suggest that part of the reason we still sing about it – even if we stray into sentiment - is that its core melody is like a pop tune or great carol you can't help but sing along with. ‘No. I can't get you out of my head; because God and sinners are reconciled; because mild he lays his glory by; the hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee; And so this is Christmas.'

Welcome to Sunday morning assembly for 9-21-2025 for Brian Braggs sermon. The post Sunday Assembly with Brian Bragg 9_21_25 appeared first on Pleasant Hill Church of Christ.

The people's eyes are opening, the fog has lifted, and the gaze is on the guilty. Jimmy's singing like a bird in a trap. Look at the patterns that line up perfectly with electoral cycles. The truth is never flattering. Moves are made in the Mangione case. Just another chance to jab at the Trump admin. They coordinated a media blitz against DJT. The big DA loves to Bragg. Why is his office allowed to spin? The Grand Jury has expired. They say it's not a big surprise. There were lots of promises to sue Trump that were made from mostly women. Hochul, Harris, Clinton, James, Reed, and others seem to have it in for the Donald. Political motivation wins over justified legal grounds. Details on the Letitia Act. No lying on mortgages. Calling out the lefties. Shifty is involved in the fraud too. Public service should include public trust. Did you intend to sign that document? Our country is approaching a very difficult stretch. Who was it that said, nothing worth doing is ever easy? Why Chuck Schumer is nervous. Don't kill the VAXXX messenger. Dominion software was trained in Venezuela. Let's look carefully at the Kirk assassination. The truth doesn't have to make sense, fiction does. Let us all be kinder to each other and those around us. And don't try to make sense of what happens in October.

For more than a century, Bragg Live Foods has been the name synonymous with apple cider vinegar (ACV), wellness, and trusted natural remedies. Now, the pioneer brand is making history by launching the Bragg Celebrates National ACV Day With “Trendy Trade-In on September 23, 2025, with a celebration at the iconic Santa Monica Pier (11 a.m. – 4 p.m.). The event—dubbed the “Trendy Trade-In”—invites Angelenos to bring their abandoned wellness fads (from dusty diet powders to unused gadgets) and swap them for something that has stood the test of time: Bragg's apple cider vinegar.

ACV has endured because it works—plain and simple.”  The Next Wave of Functional Beverages Boardman, a leading voice in the natural food and beverage industry, will also share insights on how functional beverages are shaping the future of wellness.

Send us a textOnes Ready sits down with Morgan Lerette —author of Guns, Girls, and Greed—to talk about life as a Blackwater mercenary during the chaos of Iraq and Afghanistan. From getting recruited as a broke Air Guard kid, to standing on flight lines wondering if forklifts win Bronze Stars, to suddenly pulling convoys through Route Irish with Navy SEALs and Rangers, Morgan lays it all out: the absurd, the grim, and the downright sketchy. We dive into the wild days of unarmored Peugeots with body armor for window panels, hooker stories from Jordan, and the not-so-fun reality of PMCs running missions with zero backup. And just when you're laughing at zebra-striped POW underwear, Morgan drops the hammer on the modern PMC industry moving kids across the border. Buckle up—this one goes from hilarious to horrifying in record time.

Between the 16th and 18th centuries, European nations were dominated by an economic way of thinking called mercantilism, which implicated their North American colonies. The key idea was that exports from the mother country should be as high as possible and imports minimized.

Maud Maron, running as a Republican in the 2025 Manhattan District Attorney race against Democrat incumbent Alvin Bragg, calls into the program to stress that Bragg prioritizes ideology over public safety, acting like a social worker instead of a prosecutor. She criticizes the Democratic Socialists of America's influence on city politics, arguing that their policies—such as defunding the police and closing Rikers—endanger New Yorkers. Maron shares her own political shift away from the Democratic Party, likening it to being “mugged by reality,” and emphasizes the importance of voting in the upcoming November election, especially given low turnout in off-years. She calls for stronger leadership to restore safety in New York, denounces Bragg's prosecution of Donald Trump as political abuse, and urges Manhattan voters to rally behind her campaign for a safer city.

Defense Attorney Joe Tacopina joins the show for his weekly Friday morning appearance to talk about the New York mayoral race and Manhattan DA contest. Tacopina reflects on Jim Walden's exit from the race, praising his qualifications but recognizing Curtis Sliwa as the candidate gaining real momentum. He criticizes Alvin Bragg for abandoning common-sense prosecution and praises Maud Maron for her strong plan to restore accountability and public safety, including repealing bail reform and Bragg's “day one memo.” He also discusses the lack of mandatory debates, which allows incumbents like Bragg to avoid scrutiny. The conversation then shifts to sports scandals, where Tacopina bluntly asserts that Shohei Ohtani did bet on baseball and criticizes MLB for protecting its stars. Finally, Tacopina shares a lighthearted story about having lunch with Alex Rodriguez, praising his career, ownership role with the Timberwolves, and making the case that A-Rod deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

In The Fort Bragg Cartel: Drug Trafficking and Murder in the Special Forces, author Seth Harp takes readers on a grim and shocking journey from the December 2020 double murder of Master Sergeant William “Billy” Lavigne and Chief Warrant Officer Timothy Dumas, whose bodies were discovered in a secluded corner of the sprawling base, into the dark underbelly of lawlessness, impunity, drug trafficking and violence at the heart of the most elite and secretive wing of the US military establishment.In this conversation we talk about how the brutal reality of the War on Terror assassination program manifested domestically, the way the US government is deeply implicated in the global narcotics trade and also uses it to justify mass imprisonment at home and violent military invasions abroad, how accusations of “conspiracy” can often cover up or obscure the very real and nefarious activities of the national security establishment and much more.

We have a broadcasting legend for you today on Rosebud, as Gyles interviews the creator and host of In Our Time and The South Bank Show, Melvyn Bragg, Lord Bragg of Wigton. Melvyn takes Gyles back to his roots in Wigton, a small town in Cumbria, in which his parents ran one of the local pubs, and the young Bragg played all day long in the streets, making bows and arrows from trees overhanging the river. He tells Gyles about his schooldays, the brilliant teachers who guided him and there's a really interesting discussion of the unexpected mental health problems he had as a teenager. He takes us to Oxford University, where he fell in love with cinema, and was encouraged to apply for a BBC traineeship. And we hear about some of the landmark interviews of his career, with Francis Bacon and Paul McCartney. But its Bragg's evocation of his working class childhood which will really stay with you - this is a journey to a special time and place which no longer really exists. Hosted on Acast.

Kathryn MacDonald : Dr Jeff MacDonald Ft Bragg MurdersAt 3:42 a.m. on February 17, 1970, dispatchers at Fort Bragg received an emergency phone call from MacDonald, who reported a "stabbing." Four responding military police officers arrived at his house located at 544 Castle Drive, initially believing that they were being called to settle a domestic disturbance. They found the front door closed and locked and the house dark inside. When no one answered the door, they circled to the back of the house, where they found the back screen door closed and unlocked and the back door wide open. Upon entering, they found Jeffrey's wife Colette and his daughters Kimberly and Kristen dead in their respective bedrooms.Five-year-old Kimberly was found in her bed, having been clubbed in the head and stabbed in the neck with a knife between eight and ten times. Two-year-old Kristen was found in her own bed; she had been stabbed 33 times with a knife and 15 times with an ice pick. Colette, who was pregnant with her third child and first son, was lying on the floor of her bedroom. She had been repeatedly clubbed (both her arms were broken) and stabbed 21 times with an ice pick and 16 times with a knife. MacDonald's torn pajama top was draped upon her chest. On the headboard of her bed, the word "pig" was written in blood.[4][5][6]MacDonald was found next to his wife alive but wounded. His wounds were not as severe nor as numerous as those his family had suffered. He was immediately taken to nearby Womack Hospital. MacDonald suffered cuts and bruises on his face and chest, along with a mild concussion. He also had a stab wound on his left torso that a staff surgeon described as a "clean, small, sharp" incision that caused his left lung to partially collapse. He was released from the hospital after one week.[7]MacDonald's accountMacDonald told investigators that on the evening of February 16, he had fallen asleep on the living room couch. He told investigators that he did so because Kristen had been in bed with Colette and had wet his side of it. He was later awakened by Colette and Kimberly's screams. As he rose from the couch to go to their aid, he was attacked by three male intruders, one black and two white. A fourth intruder, described as a white female with long blonde hair and wearing high heeled boots and a white floppy hat partially covering her face, stood nearby with a lighted candle and chanted, "Acid is groovy, kill the pigs." The three males attacked him with a club and ice pick. During the struggle, he claimed that his pajama top was pulled over his head to his wrists and he then used it to ward off thrusts from the ice pick. Eventually, he stated that he was overcome by his assailants and was knocked unconscious in the living room end of the hallway leading to the bedrooms.[8]Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
