Dems, do not swim in denial, there's crocodiles there and the biggest crock of all could win in 2024
pic.twitter.com/6fgpV6ohZ847 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents want Trump to be the nominee in 2024, according to a recent Washington Post-ABC News poll . David Montgomery talked to 21 experts and came to some unfortunate conclusions about the Trump second term. “I think it would be the end of the republic,” says Princeton University professor Sean Wilentz, one of the historians President Biden consulted in August about America’s teetering democracy. But there’s little to stop a president willing to skirt the rules and run out the clock on his term. President Biden rescinded the order shortly after he was inaugurated.

Apple has a huge problem at Foxconn's iPhone factory in China
“Every week of this shutdown and unrest we estimate is costing Apple roughly $1 billion a week in lost iPhone sales. Now roughly 5% of iPhone 14 sales are likely off the table due to these brutal shutdowns in China,” he said. Security forces clash with workers during a protest outside Apple supplier Foxconn's factory in Zhengzhou, China, on November 23.

Washington Post Digs Up Picture of 14-Year-Old Jerry Jones at Little Rock School Desegregation Protest, But He Explains It All With 6 Words
A new report in The Washington Post uses the 1957 integration of North Little Rock High School as a pivotal moment in its analysis of why Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has not hired a black head coach. The report includes an image that shows Jones, who was a 14-year-old high school sophomore at the time, watching the confrontation between white students who were trying to prevent black students from entering. The report notes that the protest against integration was taking place in the same time frame as the famed Little Rock Nine were integrating Little Rock Central High school. Jones then just needed six words to describe why a young teenager may wander over to such a commotion. I’m genuine about it.”Much of the report focuses on the fact that the Cowboys have not had a black head coach.

Chevron gets a new US license to pump oil in Venezuela again
The new license, granted by the Treasury Department, allows Chevron to pump Venezuelan oil for the first time in years. Biden administration officials said the license prevents PdVSA from receiving profits from oil sales to Chevron. Chevron spokesman Ray Vohr said the new license allows the company to market oil currently being produced at the joint venture’s assets. The license prohibits transactions involving goods and services from Iran, another oil producer that is subject to US sanctions against Venezuela and has helped Venezuela weather the sanctions in recent years. That could take about two to three years depending on oil market conditions, according to people familiar with the matter.

Chevron Gets New U.S. License to Pump Oil in Venezuela Again
Following the Norwegian-brokered agreement signed in Mexico City, the Biden administration granted Chevron a license that allows the California-based oil company to return to its oil fields in joint ventures with Venezuela national oil company Petróleos de Venezuela SA. The new license, granted by the Treasury Department, permits Chevron to pump Venezuelan oil for the first time in years. Chevron spokesman Ray Fohr said the new license allows the company to commercialize the oil currently being produced at its joint-venture assets. The limited scope of the Chevron license is seen as a way to ensure that Mr. Maduro stays the course on negotiations. Jorge Rodriguez, the head of the Maduro government’s delegation to the Mexico City talks, declined to comment on the issuance of the Chevron license.

Anti-Lockdown Protests Erupt In China's Xinjiang Province After 10 Die In Fire
Anger boiled over after Urumqi city officials held a press conference about the fire in which they appeared to shift responsibility for the deaths onto the apartment tower’s residents. The Associated Press could not independently verify all the videos, but two Urumqi residents who declined to be named out of fear of retribution said large-scale protests occurred Friday night. The AP pinpointed the locations of two of the videos of the protests in different parts of Urumqi. The apartment fire and protests became a lightning rod for public anger, as millions shared posts questioning China’s pandemic controls or mocking the country’s stiff propaganda and harsh censorship controls. But support for “zero-COVID” has cratered in recent months, as tragedies sparked public anger.

Disney reportedly shelled out $10m for Bob Iger to advise recently-ousted CEO Bob Chapek
[sharenow]Disney’s efforts to salvage its tanking reputation with the ousting of CEO Bob Chapek and the return of Bob Iger were not all as they appeared as newly reported filings revealed the latter had an advisory role to his successor to the tune of $10 million. Abigail Disney, the granddaughter of cofounder Roy Disney, grandniece to Walt Disney, and current major stockholder in the company, spoke with Time about the leadership problems as well but criticized both CEOs. I don’t think he ever moved out of rookie mistake territory,” she said about Chapek before turning her ire on Iger. “Bob Chapek inherited a business plan for streaming that involved Disney losing money for a long time,” she explained. Suddenly he’s being punished for something that was always the plan.”To revitalize the reputation of the company, Disney skated around the obvious that a company marketing family entertainment should stick to legitimately family-friendly content by stating, “Disney really is in a bad moment in terms of brand.

The new license, granted by the Treasury Department, would permit Chevron to pump Venezuelan oil for the first time in years.
