The schedules for the Trump trials comes together. Republicans are in trouble.
Disney appears to be looking for other sources of income since their own actors are undermining their movies.
And women are flocking to Austria. Let’s talk about why.

Here is some news:
- There can be little doubt that all these probes have something to do with getting Biden re-elected.
- In a filing on Wednesday, Willis’ team asked the presiding judge to consider a scheduling order that would have arraignments for the defendants on the week of September 5 and a trial commencing on March 4, 2024.
- Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, California, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas will all hold primaries on March 5.
- The suggested trial start date is significant because it falls on the calendar one day before Super Tuesday and eight days before Georgia’s primary set for March 12.
- A hush-money case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is scheduled to go to trial on March 25.
- Special counsel Jack Smith’s documents case against Trump is set to begin on May 20 in Florida.
- And in a federal case focused on the 2020 election, Smith has asked for a January 2 trial start date in Washington, D.C.
- Don’t tell me there’s no plan to upend the election.
- Top Republicans on Capitol Hill are vowing a crackdown on the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for allegedly destroying documents related to a congressional probe.
- Texas Senator Ted Cruz said: “By deleting documents, the FTC likely violated federal law. It also impeded Congressional oversight of the FTC’s recent, unprecedented actions, including its proposed rule banning non-compete clauses. Congress and the public deserve an explanation of why the FTC improperly destroyed records, what records it improperly destroyed, and what steps will be taken to ensure it never happens again.”
- The Republicans allege that the FTC “improperly deleted” documents that Jordan had requested in relation to the agency’s new rule that would ban private-sector employers from requiring workers to sign noncompete clauses that restrict them from working for competitors or starting new businesses that offer similar services for a period of time.
- This is another example of big bureaucracy gone wild, implementing regulations that hurt capitalism.
- Goodhue, a city about 65 miles southeast of Minneapolis with just over 1,000 residents, could be without police officers by August 23. It has struggled to attract new police recruits and give competitive pay to officers. The nonpartisan mayor said she was “blindsided” by the resignations and promised that the city would be protected.
- The police officers were paid $22 an hour.
- The shortage of officers comes following a wave of anti-police sentiment after the death of George Floyd while in Minneapolis police custody in 2020.

This Is What They’re Reduced To
According to Fox News:
A famed investor believes The Walt Disney Company’s sports-gambling products will be its most profitable asset in the near future, a far cry from the family friendly image the Mouse House has long fought to protect.
Earlier this week, PENN Entertainment announced a $1.5-billion partnership with Disney’s ESPN to create a sports betting company. PENN will pay Disney’s sports arm $1.5 billion in cash over 10 years to rebrand its current sportsbook and relaunch as ESPN BET this fall in the 16 legal betting states where PENN is licensed.
Journalist-turned-investor Porter Bibb, who was Newsweek’s White House correspondent and the first publisher of Rolling Stone before pivoting to a lucrative career in finance, feels Disney CEO Bob Iger is just getting started.
“Iger and Disney are sitting on top of an enormous potential revenue and profit generator in ESPN, and he’s taken the first step with PENN Entertainment deal that is just the beginning of what ESPN is going to generate as a monster online sports betting behemoth,” Bibb told Fox News Digital.
This Might Be Part of the Reason All Is Falling Apart
Disney may not expecting another hit movie any time in 2024. Here’s part of the reason why:
That is Rachel Zegler who has been tapped to play Snow White in the upcoming live action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Of course, Snow White won’t be white, there will not be any dwarves and the prince and Snow White won’t fall in love. Basically, they are changing the entire story.
But this Zegler is a disaster for the movie before it even is being shot. She is so bad, they are thinking of scrapping the film.
According to the Daily Wire:
Branding experts warn that Disney’s live-action “Snow White” remake could become a colossal failure based on comments made by the lead actress, Rachel Zegler.
The 22-year-old star has been making headlines recently for her comments regarding the original 1937 film’s storyline, which is based on a German fairy tale. Zegler said she “hated” the classic love story and thought it was “weird,” plus labeled the prince as a “stalker.”
As for the new live-action version, the “Snow White” star alluded to some major updates.
“She’s not going to be saved by the prince and she’s not going to be dreaming about true love,” the actress promised.
Here are some things she has said. All have gone viral in not-a-great-way:
I love hearing people who have created nothing in their short irrelevant lives, trying to destroy things that society have loved for centuries.
She has been called arrogant, a narcissist, privileged, unlikable, a snowflake and lots of other things that I cannot say which means something because I say just about anything.
She also seems to have a problem understanding how being a movie star works. You become an actress, get a role in a movie, people go to see the movie, the movie makes lots a movie, and she gets another movie. She’s basically telling everyone the movie she’s going to be in is going to suck and is going to be creepy.
Oh, yeah, and it’s not going to be Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
Well, when someone says something stupid and gets ripped for it, she did what everyone does today. She made herself into a victim. Here she is, being a victim.
Some Pay for This
According to the New York Post:
A supermarket in Austria shuttered this week after a venomous Brazilian wandering spider was spotted wandering in the bananas, TMZ reported, citing fears that a bite from the deadly creature can cause long-lasting, painful erections.
The Penny market in Krems an der Donau — which is about 45 minutes west of Vienna, the nation’s capital — has reportedly been closed since Tuesday.
The store manager allegedly rang the fire department after spotting the 4-inch black-and-red creepy crawly. Helpers sealed the store’s banana crates, but the spider is still at large, per The Mirror.
The Brazilian wandering spider’s venom “stimulates” an erection that lasts for hours, according to Live Science.
